Not prevalent surely for the Parliament was soon after Dissolved and the House of Commons having Intimation of their intended Dissolution made what hast they could to perfect a Remonstrance or Declaration against the Duke of Buckingham and concerning Tunnage and Poundage taken by the King since his Fathers death without consent in Parliament and which were never payable they say in their Remonstrance to any of his Majesties Ancestors but only by a special Act of Parliament and ought not to be levyed without such an Act. Tant And did the King go on Collecting and taking Tunnage and Poundage notwithstanding Tory. Yes he said he could not want it and sent them a former Message that if He had not a timely supply He would betake himself to New Councils Tant New Councils what were they Tory. The Commons in their said Remonstrance often with thoughtful Hearts remember the words New-Councils repeating and Repeating them as if they were somewhat against the old Parliamentary Councils and course of this Kingdom and they Order'd every Member of the House to have a Copy of the said Remonstrance for they had not time to Present it to his Gracious Majesty but were Dissolv'd though the Lords also prepared a Petition to stay the Kings purpose in Dissolving the Parliament sending Viscount Mandevil Earl of Manchester Lord President of his Majesties Council the Earls of Pembrook Carlisle and Holland to entreat his Majesty to give Audience to the whole House of Peers But the King returned Answer that his Resolution was to hear no motion for that purpose but He would Dissolve the Parliament and he was then as good as his Word for he immediately Dissolved them by Commission under the great Seal Dated at Westminster June 15.2 R. R. Car. 1. 1626. To that purpose And withall Publishes a Declaration in Print concerning the Grounds and Causes which moved his Majesty to Dissolve this as also the former Parliament Dated June 13. 2 Car. 1. two dayes before the Date of the Commission Tant It was the readyer against the time of using it Coleman was as provident Tory. Right And also a Proclamation was published against the said Remonstrance of the Commons commanding all Persons of what Quality soever who have or shall have hereafter any Copyes or Notes of the said Remonstrance forthwith to Burn the same that the Memory thereof might be utterly abolished upon Pain of his Majesties Indignation and high Displeasure Tant Then the Tide did run very high Tory. The King also Published another Proclamation against Preaching or Disputing the Arminian Controversies Pro or Con but the effects of that Proclamation how equally soever intended became the stopping of the Puritan's Mouths and an uncontroul'd Liberty to the Tongues and Pens of the thriving Divinity-men the rising side Mountagues Party And though the Parliament was Dissolv'd so that the Duke of Buckingham for that nearly-reflecting Article the last against him which the King in Honour and by the Bonds of natural Affection and Piety to the Memory of his Deceased Father thought himself obliged to Call him to a publick account for so Daring an Insolence in applying a Plaister to the Kings breast against his Will and without the Advice and contrary to the Opinion of the Sworn Physitians of King James who attributed the Cause of his trouble unto the said Pla●●●●● and a Drink that Buckingham gave him as was Alledged in the Thirteenth Article of the Dukes Impeachment and the said Drink twice given to the King by Buckingham's own Hands and a third time refused by the King who felt great Impairment of his Life and Health complaining of the Drink that the Duke gave him His Physitians telling him to Please him and Comfort him that His second Impairment was from cold taken or some other ordinary Cause No no said his Majesty It is that which I had from Buckingham as more at large much aggravated and insisted upon by Mr. Wandesford who managed the Thirteenth Article of the Impeachment against Buckingham Tant But what

said the Duke in his own Justification and Defence in the Star-Chamber Tory. He denyed it and examined divers Witnesses about the matter Tant And what then Tory. Nothing more the Cause never came to Judicial Hearing in that Court Tant Then let us hear no more of it I am sick of it my self I never heard so much before Go on Tory. After the Parliament was Dissolv'd and things well husht the Privy Council Order'd all Customs to be paid and the Refusers Punisht by Fines Imprisonment this was deem'd one New-council and Loans another Tant Loans prythee Tory what were they Tory. The King sent to the Rich a Letter beginning Trusty and Well-beloved c. under the Privy Seal requiring him or them to send him within twelve dayes so much Money as for Example in the West-riding in York-shire to Sir Thomas Wentworth 20 l Sir Francis Fuljam 20 l Sir Edward Osburn 30 l Godfrey Copley Esquire 15 l promising in the Name of the Kings Majesty his Heirs and Successors to repay the Money so lent Tant Ay when le ts hear that Tory. Within eighteen Months Tant And was the Money Repayed Tory. Pish that 's a silly question then of the City of London the King bid them lend him a hundred thousand pound Tant Well said a few such Summs from Towns or Cities would do the business but did they lend the Money Tory. No the City desir'd to be excused Tant And what then Tory. Then the Privy-Councel required them all excuses set apart to return a Direct and speedy Answer to his Gracious Majesty or in default thereof that his Majesty may frame his Councils as appertaineth to a King in such extream and Important occasions Tant And were they not afraid and apprehensive of the Innuendo Tory. The Commands rested not here for they also commanded the City to Equippe twenty of their best Ships in the River with all manner of Tackle Sea-stores and Ammunition men and Victuals for three Months Tant And did they do it Tory. They grumbled at it saying it was without President as did also the Deputy-Lieutenants and Justices of Peace at Dorset having received the Kings Commands for setting forth Ships from Pool Weymouth and Lime but the Council checkt them for daring to dispute Orders instead of obeying them and whereas they mention presidents they might know that the presidents of former times were Obedience not Direction Whigg It would puzzle a good Historian to find presidents of Obedience in England to Arbitrary-sway and Orders of Privy-Council for Impositions without Law to back them Tory. How Did not stout King Edward 1. Command Roger Bigot Earl of Norfolk and Lord Marshal of England and several other Lords to go to the Wars in Gascoygne in France which they refusing except the King himself went also in Person But the King threatned then to take away their Lands and their Lives saying to the Lord Marshal and Swearing By God Sir Earl you shall either Go or Hang. Whigg Ay but the Earl answered the King at the same moment I Swear by the same Oath I will neither Go nor Hang and so without leave went out of the Room and departed and shortly after he and Humphrey Bohun Earl of Hereford and other Lords and Noble-men Assembled and other their Friends to the number of thirty Bannerets one thousand five hundred men at Arms well appointed and stood upon their Guard but the King Dissembled his Resentments at that time being about to go to Flanders where he spent much Money and for recruit Summons a Parliament to meet at York promising from thenceforth never to charge his Subjects otherwise than by their Consents in Parliament and also to Pardon all such as had denyed to attend him in this Journey Tant And did they trust the Kings word Tory. Yes but he broke it and all his other Oaths and Confirmations of the Peoples Charters made in Parliament two Years after having obtained and bought a Pardon for so doing as aforesaid of his Holiness nay he begun to play his Arbitrary Pranks long before that for in 8 Edw. 1. he sent out his Writ of Quo Warranto a fine Engine to get Money to examine by what Title men held their Lands which upon flaws found in their Charters and pryed into by the Lawyers brought him in much Money 'till John Earl of Warren stopt the Current and stem'd the Tyde for calling upon him to show his Title He drew out an old rusty Sword and said He held his Land by that and by that would hold it to Death and having many Backers it made the King desist from his Project Tant An old rusty Sword dost say that was more than the old Christian Weapons Prayers and Tears Tory. And stopt the Kings Tyranny and lawless Usurpations more than a thousand Petitions Prayers and Tears Tant Still I say Subjects Christian Subjects should use no Weapons but Prayers and Tears Whigg What not against Robbers Thieves and Murderers Tant Not against Magistrates that Rob by Law Whigg Thou talk'st like an Asse every day more than other Rob by Law a Contradiction in terminis if there be Law for it it is not Robery Theft nor Murder and if it be against Law or without Law all violent taking of mens Goods one Subject from another is Theft and Robbery except the Law enjoyn it and may lawfully be Resisted without all doubt in like manner and with such Weapons as the Onset or Assault is made Tant What in an Officer a Commission-Officer Whigg No man can be Authoriz'd to do an ill thing or an illegal thing by any mans Commission much less by the Kings Commission or the Broad-Seal for the King can do no wrong if it be wrong it stands for nothing it is not the Kings act nor the Kings Commission but Surreptitious and punishable Tant And who shall Judge of its Legality or the legality of the Resistance Whigg The Judges and the Law and the Juries Tant Nay then we are well enough yet Whigg If you be well keep you so whil'st you are well but remember Belknap Tresilian c. many Judges have been Hang'd right right and good Reason for corrupt and false Judgment there are they that shall judge the Judges Tant Ay but when at the day of Judgment Whigg Yes yes no more on 't but this Doctrine of resisting with other Weapons than Prayers and Tears Force with Force Violence with Violence in our own just Defence seems so strange to the new Tantivee-men that herein join with the old Error of the Anabaptists condemned in the 37 Article of the Church of England as also the Family of Love who Condemned all Wars as did the Manichees nay the learned Ludovicus Vives saith Arma Christianum Virum tractare nescio an fas sit I know not whether or no it be lawful for a Christian to Fight at all or go to the Wars and wear Weapons Lactantius also was against all Killing right and

wrong by Law or without Law by or without the Magistrate Tant The Article you mention sayes it is lawful to wear Weapons and serve in the Wars at the Command of the Magistrate Whigg Right I say no other the other resisting without the Magistrate is onely in a Christians own Defence the dictates of the Law of God the Law of Nature the Law of Wisdom reason and Prudence the Law that Worms and all Creatures have of Self-preservation he 's accessary to his own Death and felo de se that resists not a Murtherer or a Robber Tant Ay but suppose the Magistrate take your Goods violently against Law Whigg That also is impossible for as he is a Magistrate he acts by Law and cannot possibly Act as a Magistrate but by having the Law on his side if he has not the Law to Vouch him he Acts not like a Magistrate but as a Robber but this must be certain clear and evident otherwise Resistance is a Sin Tant This is right Whiggish Principles and Whiggish Doctrines and Whiggish Practices Whigg This is the old English Practice and the dictates of right Reason and the Law Tant Where did you learn these Doctrines Whigg I cannot well tell where first I had them for they are connate and coeval with the reason of every Wise man and Good man but I think I first had them in Print out of a Sermon Preach't by one of the Kings Chaplains in Ordinary William Haywood D. D. Preacht before his Majesty at Newport in the Isle of Wight during the time of the Treaty there for Peace betwixt the King Charles 1. and the Parliament upon a suitable Text Rom. 12.18 If it be possible as much as lyeth in you live peaceably with all men Where excellently and suitably he Discourses of the first words of the Text I 'le repeat onely his own words in Print in descant upon the words If it be possible namely He sayes A form of Speech this is which implieth often Difficulties in the business and sometimes Impossibility difficult where the Parties to be reconciled are froward and self-willed Enemies to Peace in Davids language Impossibility where no Agreement will be had without loss of a good Conscience Where Gods Honour or the administration of Justice or the discharge of our calling lieth at stake so that we cannot have Peace with men unless we be irreligious unjust or unfaithful In the former case where Peace is only difficult that should stir up our dilgence the rather endeavour with so much the more Patience and unwearied Industry to overcome the frowardness of those we have to deal with and where so precious a Jewel as Peace is to be compassed with expence of our labour or our substance there spare for no cost or pains But where it is impossible to a Servant of God where nothing will do it but the sale of a good Conscience there rouse up our courage and prefer not outward Peace before inward mens contentment or our own temporal commodity or safety before Gods Honour our Souls quiet and the publick good But it will here be demanded How we may know when Peace is possible when not Six cases are mentioned by some Divines ye may referr them to the three heads aforenamed of Religion Justice and Faithfulness in our calling Of Religion first God himself in case his publick Worship be indangered enjoyns us flatly to break the Peace If thy Brother the son of thy Mother or thy Son or thy Daughter or the Wife of thy bosom or thy friend which is as thine own Soul entice thee secretly saying Let us go and Serve other Gods which thou shalt not know c. Thou shalt not consent unto him nor hearken unto him neither shall thine eye pitty him Thou shalt not spare nor conceal him but thou shalt surely kill him thy hand shall be first upon him and afterward the hand of all the People Deut. 13.6 Thus ye are to understand it in case of Temptation to manifest Idolatry and Popery is clearly prov'd to be Idolatry Blasphemy Heresie or Apostacy from the true Faith and Worship of God we can have no Peace nay we can have no Mercy we are not allowed to spare and conceal the party so tempting us but deliver him up to just Punishment be he never so near or dear to us Secondly where our selves are Persecuted for Religion or Vertue or Obedience to Gods Law in any kind and there is no way of satisfying our Persecutors or delivering our selves from trouble but by denying our Faith yielding up our Vertue or violating our Obedience to Gods Commandments In these two cases the one offensive the other defensive for preservation of our Religion and our Duty to God no Peace possible Two other cases follow which belong to Justice One where we are passive or those who are one with us and we are violently assaulted contrary to Law and Equity We may then break the Peace for our own Preservation in defending our selves so we do it Cum moderamine inculpatae tutelae go not beyond what is needful to our honest defence or theirs who depend on us as our Wives Children or Family The like holds when we are violently handled because we will not joyn with others in breaking Peace and trampling down Justice Cast in thy lot among us We will find all precious substance and fill our Houses with spoil Prov. 1.13 Thus where in defence of Justice to our selves and our own private being Innocent and against wrongful Authority our Lot is to be passive Another case may fall out wherein it becomes us to be active though our selves in our particular Interest suffer not and that is where we see our innocent neighbours wrongfully abused and distressed to extremity by lawless hands we may there rise up in rescue of oppressed Innocence and do as much in our neighbours case as we would wish done in our own Thus Lot resisted the Sodomites in behalf of the Angels whom they Invaded with violence And Moses succoured the Israelite striving with the Egyptian Exod. 2.12 And thus every good man armed with wealth and power may and ought to stand up in defence of the poor Widow and fatherless against their tyrannous oppressors Nor are they breakers of the Peace in so doing but these cruel grinders of the Poor whom they resist Now Tantivee what think you of your Doctrine that Christians may use no other Weapons but Prayers and Tears and what your Design may be in Preaching up and every Sunday inculcating such Crambee Doctrine at this Juncture I do not know it looks like a Set-business What think you of Dalilah's Policy the crafty Whore was Brib'd to Betray Sampson but the Philistines durst not set upon him 'till he was Bound for they had woful Experience of his Whiggish Valour therefore they hire the Hireling to Bind him first that they might securely Spoil him a very crafty Piece of Politicks Tant Ay and if all you Whiggs
