3. Whether or no at the time of the Reformation that good which was done by casting the Popes Authority out of mens consciences was overballanced by therewith casting out the authority of Scriptures concerning Regall Authority Resol The full solution of this Quaerie requires a larger Tract and a more able pen then for present is alloted unto me wherefore herein to move greater judgements I will but therein deliver mine owne opinion which is this that heretofore the Pope over-ruling mens consciences did not onely usurp that authority but thereby did also greatly injoyne grosse Idolatry and Superstition directly against the Word of God wherefore our exemption and freedome therefrom must needs be unspeakable good unto this Kingdome but on the contrary the casting out or at least neglecting the authority of Scriptures concerning Regall Authority hath brought an unspeakable hurt unto this Kingdome by begetting and causing blasphemy and prophanation sacriledge and impiety against God treason and rebellion against his sacred Majesty ruine and destruction to the Church faction and division in the Kingdome which though at first they were not discerned this our age hath had thereof too deare and deep experience but whether or no these evills do counterpoize or overballance that good which was done by exploding the Popes Authority out of this Kingdome I leave to be determined by greater abilities Quaerie 4. Whether or no a right and lawfull King hath power from God to blesse or curse his People Resol This question is to be holden in the Affirmative for whosoever hath any much more this power hath it from God because every good and perfect gift comes from him who hath given this power unto all that call upon him thus giving unto the poor is a casting our bread upon the waters which we shall find after many daies and almesdeeds do prevaile as far as heaven God heares the cries and sighs of the afflicted and the cries of the poor fatherlesse and widdowes all which are as the power of blessing and cursing from God and if God have granted this unto all and ordinary people how much more unto Kings who are said to be Gods whose hearts are unsearchable Prov. 25.3 A divine sentence is in the lips of the King Prov. 16.10 and the honour of Kings is to search out a matter Pro. 25.2 They sit at the stern to distribute justice mercy which is blessing and cursing eminenter thus Moses yet both a blessing and a curse before the People Deut. 11.26 The exercise of both which we find in particular 1. That of blessing thus Moses blessed the children of Israel before his death Deut. 33.1 And Joshua sent away the two Tribes and halfe with a blessing Josh 22.6.7 and David blessed his people in the name of the Lord 1 Chron. 16.2 2 Sam. 6.18 and Solomon stood and blessed all the Congregation of Israel with a loud voice 1 Kings 8.55 And David kissed 〈◊〉 and blessed him 2 Sam. 19.39 2. That of cursing 〈◊〉 cursed the rebuilder of Jericho Jos 6.26 which was executed above 520 years after upon Hiel the Bethe●●● 1 King 16.24 And David layd a very heavie curse upon Joah 2 Sam. 3.24 therefore unto some purpose hath Solomon said the wrath of a King is as the roaring of a Lion Prov. 14.12 which God having given unto all Kings it must needs also be given unto the King of England which God hath made manifest and apparent unto all the world and that in an extraordinary manner in that his touch doth heal that disease which hath received name from him which is a great certain blessing and having the one he hath the other as well as the Kings of Israel for it is a maxime in Logick Contrariorū eadem est ratio It is true I have heard some say how truly I know not that his Majesties touch in this last age hath not proved unto all so effectuall as in former the answer whereunto if it may be granted is very cleare and obvious was there ever age more traiterous trecherous rebellious against their Soveraigne then this which are the effects of incredulity which were so praevalent amongst the Nazarites our Saviours own country-men that he did not many works there because of their unbelief Mat. 13.58 that abating the power in the giver we herein may see Gods great mercy that it is not quite obstructed in the gifted though a King Therefore it is to be believed that a right and lawfull King hath power from God to blesse or curse his People Quaerie 5. Whether or no that forme of Government Ecclesiasticall and civill pretended or intended by the two Houses may stand with the nature of this Age and People Resol This Quaerie consists of two parts concerning goverment 1 Ecclesiasticall 2 Civill in both which I will but deliver mine opinion which I conceive to be truth and in the latter I will but only give a word or two referring it unto the learned in the Lawes of the Land unto whom it is most proper which shall be this that the Civill Government of this Kingdome by the Ordinances of the two Houses must needs prove destructive unto this Nation because 1. They are destructive unto the establisht Law of the Land which is the preservation of the people 2. The good and peace of no Kingdome can stand in continuall change and mutability full whereof are their Ordinances which have been ordered unordered and counter-ordered at pleasure for their pleasures without respect unto the good of the Common-wealth 3. This kind of Government if it may be so called is absolutely the most Arbitrary Tyrannicall and Licentious that can be imagined and therefore can stand with no age nor People 2. Ecclesiasticall Government that as the former no man can tell what is but something they would seem to put upon us by the name of Presbytery which cannot stand with this age nor people for these reasons in respect unto 1. The People of the Land 2. The Law of the Land 3. The Law of God 1. In respect of the people of the Land because all the Kingdome which are noble wealthy wise knowing honest and conscientious which are numerous and most fit to sit at the stern of the State are of a contrary judgement besides the greatest part the most sober minded and moderate men have ever been educated and brought up in so contrary a way that they will never submit thereunto but with murmuring heart-burning and repining which at least will bring disturbance if not ruine unto this Kingdome 2. In respect unto the Law of the Land this imaginary Ecclesiasticall Eutopia would so cut clash thwart crosse and interfere all the old Law of the Kingdom that it must be destroyed and either a new made which what it may prove no wise man would put unto venture or it would give us over unto all liberty and licence or beget arbitrary and tyrannicall Government 3. In respect unto the Law of God this
