Questions resolved and propositions tending to accommodation and agreement betweene the King being the Royall head and both Houses of Parliament being the representative body of the Kingdome of ENGLAND The first Question 1. Whether a King be ordained of God for the welfare of the people or the people appointed subjects to the King for the honour and pleasure of a King THis must needs be resolved that the King is instituted of God by his divine Ordinance but by subordinate meanes of the people their first and primary Election or by their approbation of his precedent Title or allowed merits wherein though it be an hereditary successive right of a Crown Yet is that inheritance or succession either originally and immediately given or subsequently and mediately approved and allowed to him and his posterity by the people And by and with the meanes of the Lawes Customes or constitutions of the Nation whereof he becommeth the head and Governour To the end that he may and shall Rule guide and governe and protect the people under his charge and care in the true worship and service of God with love and faithfulnesse and with such tendernesse as a Lord and Master ought to use toward his family a shepheard towards his flock and a father towards his deare beloved children Not that he should in any wife like a domineering master cruelly beate and evill intreate his servants or an hired no true shepheard neglect or peele his flocke or be carelesse of their protection and safety from ravening Wolves and biting Curs Nor as an unnaturall and hard hearted father grieve and afflict his Children with overmuch chastisement or give them stones instead of bread And although it cannot be denied that the Kings of Israel were annointed by the holy Prophets of their time by the immediate appointment of God their proper King and heavenly father who miraculously ruled guided and protected them from the beginning before they had any earthly King like other Nations Yet when they desired a King like as other Nations had the Lord then told them what such Kings did and would take upon them and use to do Not that God did appoint or assigne or allow them so to do for God did not tell any King by the mouth of his Prophets that he would give him a people to use at his pleasure but he granted the people a King to guide and command them as he Muse long before And when Saul that first King was chosen being the tallest man among the people and annoynted by the Prophet to be King over Israel which height of stature did onely note that the people should remarke the height of his dignity when he was set over them The Declaration of Gods divine grace and holy Spirit infused by the word of the Prophet made him fit and worthy to Rule yea even to prophecy among the Prophets and so was he accepted by the Acclamation of the people For no sooner that Divine Spirit of grace had left him but he became an Apostate from God and his religious duty of well governing as a King and was thenceforth relict of God and neither the haughtinesse of his stature nor the dignity of his Thron availed him any longer but the youngest and least of Ishai his sons was chosen from the sheepfolds to be King and to Rule and governe Gods people which after his anointment by the Prophet and the time of his exaltation to the Crowne he governed with a faithfull and true heart and ruled them prudently with all his power And in after ages the Chronicles of the Kings doe shew how often the good Kings that maintained the true Worship of God did long continue in their States and Throns and flourisht but such as were evill and set up Idols and hill Altars and caused or suffered the people to sin against their God God did rend and divide and utterly take away their kingdomes from them Only it is specially remarkeable of the good King Hezekiah who had slipped and erred but repented and recollected himselfe that the mercifull God quickly heard his prayers and saw his teares and added to his dayes and happy Raigne fifteene yeares which number if it be added to our good King Hezekiah his Raigne will exceed the time of many of his progenitors But God may please to adde fifty in steed of fifteene and then the yeares both of his life and Raigne will exceed all his noble Progenitors The like is to bee observed of Christian Kings and Emperours after our Saviour his Incarnation and that the Christian faith was established they had their Annointment from God by the hand of the Bishops but their acceptance was by the people And it is manifest that both the ancient Kings of Israel before the Incarnation of our Saviour as also all Christian Kings since were bound by Oath taken or by Royall obligation to Rule and Raigne by and according to the Lawes of the Land For Bartolus saith a King is Solutus legibus but obligatus vinculo pietatis to rule secundum loges Of all which it followeth that Kings Raignes are provided by God for the welfare of the people and their honour and dignity prolonged in reward of their righteousnesse ingovernment according to the Etymologies of the termes or titles Quia Reges 〈◊〉 a regendo in pace secundum R●g●l●● normam Justuiae Imperaiores autem ab imperando in belle Ty auni 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Quod est saevire in pop●lum The second Question 2. Whether a King maketh or imposeth the Lawes upon the people or the Lawes and ancient native nationall Customes of the Land doe erect and establish the Throne and Crowne of the King It is usuall indeed amonst the flattering Courtiers and Royalists in this Kingdome to terme the Lawes the Kings Lawes Quasi dicerent the King doth imponere leges'populo But that is their ignorance For the Lawes of England are most ancient right and rites and Customes of the Land Non Jura data ne● leges imp●si●e sed usu ●ongae vitate temporum inductae tanquam innatae For if it ●e as truely as vulgarly said Consuetudo est altera Natura Then are our Customary Lawes the most naturall Laws of this Land whereby also appeares the Levity of their conceipts or judgements who having stepped a little over the Seas in a Flie boate and parled 2 little French in Paris or Orleance doe peremptorily assume upon them to define and pronounce that ou● Lawes are illiterall and imperfect and that the Civill and Impertiall Law in other parts of Christendom are the most excellent absolute and best Lawes for all and for this Common-wealth Forgetting in meane while that even in those Forraign Lands where the Civill Law Romane or Imperiall hath place and Rule the Naturall and Nationall or provinciall usages and Customes there do abridge and restraine the Generall Rules Theses or Hypotheses of that generall Law And for our Statutory Lawes called Ius stratutorium
