So that to kill a King who is Pater Patriae is by Analogy as if a man should cut the throat of his Father that begat him and rip up the bowels of his Mother that conceived him What became of Trayterous Absalom who sought the Life and Kingdom of his Natural and Political Father Was he not deservedly hanged between the boughs of an Oak VVere not Joabs darts fit Chyrurgical Instruments by a just kind of Phlebotomy to let out his unnatural blood 2.
