Marble And therefore we are all obliged as specially to Your Sacred Majesty that brought our Peace and Restauration to all that we have so Secondly to the Adventurers that laid out their Moneys and to the Soldiers that ventured their Lives and endured hardship to restore us unto our Rights But if they adventured either life or money to drive out the Rebels and to get both their Lands and ours that never offended unto themselves as many of the Soldiers do about Kilkenny then we owe them no thanks and they do no better then as the Thieves robbed us so they rob the Thieves not for the love of Justice to make Restitution to the Owners but to enrich themselves and how God likes of this keeping the right Owners from their Lands and Houses let the Adventurers Soldiers and Buyers of them judge themselves the Lord will judge it at another Day All which and many more Distempers that might be seen in that unsettled Kingdom and the Distresses of many unrelieved pillaged Protestants that are continued through the unbridled Fury of the Presbyterians and the blinde illimited Zeal of the Anabaptists Quakers and other Sectaries that have swarmed in this place as appeareth by this Catalogue of them that were presented by the Church-wardens of one Parish for their unlawful Conventicles That is to say William Burgess of Kilkenny Esquire Thomas Wilson Esq Thomas Fox Gent.

I thought it my Duty in all Humbleness and Fidelity to declare and remonstrate unto Your Majesty and to Your most Honourable Parliament and all others that desire to be informed herein leaving it to Your Majestie 's most wise and pious Consideration and their religious Care of God's Service and Servants to do what to Your Majesty seemeth best herein and most humbly craving Pardon if in these things I have done any thing that in the least way might offend Your Majesty whom I so truly honour and will ever as faithfully serve as any Subject within Your Kingdoms not onely as You are my King but especially as You are the gracious Son of so glorious a Father as is that blessed King CHARLES the First whose Name and Memory shall ever be like the Composition of the most pretious Oyntment that is made by the Art of the Apothecary So I rest Your MAJESTIES most loyal faithful and obedient Subject and Oratour GR. OSSORY THE FIRST TREATISE Acts 7.52 Which of the Prophets have not your Fathers persecuted And they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers THE occasion of this our meeting and congregating our selves together at this time in Gods House is to confess our Great sins to declare our Sorrows and to testify our Humiliation as for all Other our transgressions so Especially for the high Rebellion and malicious Deliberate murder which our Fathers our Brethren and the Rest of the people of these Dominions have committed against their Own most Pious Just and Lawfull King CHARLES the First And I know not any waies how to do the same better then by parelleling the Transcendent murder of our King with that Vnexpressible murder of the King of the Jews and our blessed Saviour Jesus Christ For the performance of which Duty I shall desire you to give Attendauce to the Word of God which you may find written in Acts 7.52 These Words that I have read unto you are the Words of the protoMartyr Saint Stephen the first Witness that lost his Life for Preaching the Truth and testifying the Faith and death of Jesus Christ And they do contain a three fold Act or three speciall steps descending down-wards towards hell which with the assistance of God I intend to handle not to direct you the way thither but to divert all men from those dangerous pathes whose ends must be so dolefull unto them without end And they are 1. Persecutio Prophetarum the persecution of the Prophets Three parts 2. Occisio Praedicatorum the killing of the Preachers 3. Perditio interfectio justi Regis the betraying and murdering of a most just and the most righteous King the King of the Jews The three fowlest facts that could be acted by any men and would never have been done by any but by Jews or worse than Jews 1. The wisest amongst the sons of men saith Surely that you need not doubt it Eccles 7.7 oppression maketh a wise man mad and therefore likely it maketh simple men and fooles more mad and oppression which the Grecians call 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is nothing else but violenta pressura a violent pressure and a pinching of their bodies or a sore pressing upon their estates and impoverishing them by Taxes impositions and services more than by the Laws ought to be imposed or that they be well able to bear And yet as the Poet saith Clamitat ad Coelum Vox oppressorum mercesque retenta laborum This oppression of the poor crieth loud in the eares of God for vengeance against the oppressors Psal 9.9 Prov. 22.23 Amos 5.21 and God promiseth to be a refuge for the oppressed and He threatneth to punish all the oppressors of the poor yea and to spoyle the soul of those that spoyle them and therefore the great men of this world should take heed that they oppress not the poor the fatherless and the widow that have least shelter to preserve them from oppression But if Oppression be so haynous a vice and so loud a crying sin what shall we think of Persecution for persecution that is derived of persequor 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifieth ad extremum usque sequi to follow and pursue his desire to the uttermost execution is of a far higher strain and a close following after the person of any one to do him some great and apparant mischief either to take away his Liberty or to bereave him of his Life as Cain did to Abel Gent 4.8 1 Sam. 13.14 and as Saul persecuted David and hunted after him even as a Patridge is hunted upon the mountain from place to place And thus did the Fathers of these Jews persecute the Prophets For the better understanding of which point Three things observable in the 1. part i.e. The persecution of the Prophets I humbly beseech you to observe these three things 1. The persecutors their Fathers 2. The persecuted the Prophets 3. The extent and generality of their persecution Quem Prophetarum 1. 1 The persecutors The persecutors are said to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 their fathers and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 dicitur quasi 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ex se genitos servans the keeper and preserver of those that are
