A91661	A reply to Mr. VVilliam Prinne, his unsafe, uneasie, dangerous, &c. expedient, for the concord, unity, and settlement of these nations, by restoring the ancient nobility, part of the old decripit, decayed, and gray-headed tyranny, usurpation, and oppression upon the bodies, and consciences of every poor subject, who have been formerly as Balaams asse, being made slaves at their lusts and pleasures, but now have kicked their masters off. Together with a few directions to the persons now in authority, opening a door to peace, righteousnesse, and prosperity, by buillding upon that little stone, which hitherto hath been refused by the builders, but is chosen of God and precious.		1659 (1659)	Wing R1061; Thomason E1010_8; ESTC R203487	5,533	11

negotiorum arduitate periculis miminentibus cessante excusatione quacunque dictis die loco personaliter intersitis nobiscum cum Praeletis magnetibus Proceribus supradictis superdictis negotiis tractaturus vestrum consilium impersurus c. Which first clause Vobiscum cum Praeletis c. and in the close of the Writ Personaliter intersitis nobiscum cum Praeletis c. Which proveth they have no right thereto but joyntly with the King and Lords Spiritual if you as Mr. Prinne doth so earnestly desire go to the ancient Constitution and Frame of the Government of this Nation And now their Right if they have any may be properly said to be in abeysance or consideration of Law in nubibus vel in gremio terrae And seeing the King is the Primum mobile from whence all inferiour Orbs have their principle of vigour and motion and like the Sun that is Cor planetorum primum vivaeus ultimum moriens it doth follow that without the King such a Government will be but an Vtopian Idea formed by Mr. Prinns operative fantasie It is a Maxime in Phylosophy that nihil agit in seipsum and these that have been dead and buried for so many years should raise themselves or be again vivified by the generative and prolifick faculty of Mr. Prinns fruitful Pen but admitting they have a right in radice and in semine yet I humbly conceive that now there is no actual inter regnum as he doth suppose for there may properly be said to be two administrations of a Common-wealth the one is Military the other togata togata pacis spectat temporae militaris belli spectat tempora though there be rebellions and commotions like hot exhalations set on fire by their own motion amazing the common people who are usually surprized with a Spirit of fear and bondage yet If the Souldiers will be true to their principles we may find out the most righteous government that ever we were under And certainly there 's no Title more lawful and indubitible then that which is jure belli neither that which is elective successive jure connubiorum donative Or testamentary both by the Law of God and man They having got it upon the account of righteousness and liberty for the body and consciences of every individual person though I have cause to believe that they have since sought their own things and not the things of Jesus Christ But had it been an unjust and inoffensive quarrel then they had been Pyrats and Robbers as Lucan calleth Alexander M. orbis terrarum praedonem The other thing that I did observe in Mr. Prinns pamphlet was that after the Nobility were invested in their ancient right they should issue forth Writs unto all the places of this Common-wealth to chuse persons for every County Shiere City c. as may be every way qualified for the service of that Country to sit at Westminster on the third Monday in January next according to the common custome and usage of this Realme I cannot imagin what this Parliament should do but revest Charles Stuard in his ancient right for they would be altogether inservisable to settle us upon a firm and lasting Peace For all their Ordinances Acts and Statutes would be invalid and of none effect without the consent of King in Parliament they would be in Eodem Jure with a person who cannot grant an anuity c. without the consent of his Patron and Ordinary or Covent who neither can enfeoffe or enfeoffed no not in time of vocation as hath been resolved in all succession of ages And in my Lord Dyers reports 1 Reg. Maer 93. In the Duke of North his Case it was a great doubt among the Justices whether the King after a Bill passed by the Lords and Commons may Commissionate certain persons by his Letters Pattents regium suum assensuum consensuum eadam billae omnibus in eadem specificatis with a sciatis igitur that he doth thereby ratifie and confirm whatsoever they should do in his name So that now you see Mr. Prinns airy notions and plantasmes fall unto the ground Oh that such an eminent person for piety and godliness should turn as the dog to his vomiting and as the Sow that was washed to her wallowing in the Mire the Phylosopher saith that optimi corruptio est pessima Hypocrites Seducers shal wax worse and worse and bring upon themselves swift destruction Oh what shall we say to these things let them that stand take heed lest they fall Now that I may wind all in a sheet of Paper I would put the great ones in mind of performing their solemn promises and declarations to exalt Jesus Christ who is more glorious and excellent then the Mountains of prey Abraham who is the Father of the faithful as he came from the slaughter of the Kings having rescued his Brother out of their hands Melchisedech met him and blessed him you are the persons that have delivered Gods people and in former times Christ hath met you and blessed you as you have come from the slaughter of the King and the Nobles with all divine and spiritual blessings who is a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedech But now I am afraid you are like Sompson your strength is departed from your honours have put out your eyes and now the House of this Common-wealth is like to fall upon your heads Therefore I pray hear one word I. Return unto the most high from whom you have departed And though you presume that God will not destroy you because you are a Bull-work and a defence to his People Oh I must tell you I rather believe they by the weapons of the Spirit have averted the Judgment that otherwise might have fell upon you Saul was a professor and prophesied among the Prophets yet after he came to be King he forgot that God called him from following his Fathers Asses as now some do not remember their pedigree nor their Fathers House and launched out into all sinful licentiousness and God dethroned him and set up his Servant David in his stead II. Secondly Make no peace with unrighteousness say not a confederacy with them that say a confederacy for you must be a Nation in the midst of a Nation how dear was it like to cost good Jehoshaphat for entering into a league with wicked Ahab saying I am as thou art and my people as thy people and we will be with thee in the warr III. Thirdly Endeavor the taking away the burdens that lie upon us both as Men and Christians as men you ought to impose your great taxes and impositions upon your enemies as Solomon that oppressed the Cananites and the Perinites c. that were enemies to his Kingdome and spared his natural born subjects as Christians how long shall we be villeins regardant to set out the persons Titles It is a strange thing you will not have the judicial Law to be in force which is not abolished and will have the ceremonial Law which is established to continue IV. Lastly and so I will conclude If you think to hold on your course Kisse the Son lest he be angry and you perish from the way Proclaim him to be both King of Saints and King of Nations It is the eternal purpose and Decree of God to make him above the Kings of the World for he is the Prince of the Kings of the Earth and all the holy Angels have done him fealty for only the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah is worthy to open the Books and loose the Seals thereof And therefore seeing you have kept Jesus Christ out of the Throne so long the Lord give you Repentance unto Salvation never to be Repented of And now I shall put you in mind of a few Scriptures among many In Dan 7. 13 14 27. and in Isa. 61. 23. and in Isa 63. 1 2. Who is this that cometh from Edom with dyed Garments from Bozar this that is glorious in his Apparrel travelling in the greatness of his strength I that speak in righteousness mighty to save Wherefore art thou red in thine Apparrel and thy Garments like him that treadeth the Winefat The Garments of Christ shall be dyed in the blood of his Enemies as the Garments of the Priests was dipped in Jordan THE END Luke 24. 25 26 27.
