A41764	The Grand question resolved, viz. a king having protested to defend to the uttermost of his power, the true Protestant religion, with the rights and liberties of all his subjects but if they, fearing that he will violate this his protestation, take up arms to prevent it, what may be judged hereof?		1681 (1681)	Wing G1509; ESTC R7816	9,125	18

Lusts that war in your Members There is a Lust or lusting after Profit Pleasure vain Glory whenas too many Men are ready to speak as Jehu did Come with me and see my Zeal for the Lord of Hosts And what is the issue and event of such eager thirsting desires Believe God in these Words of his Ye Lust and have not ye kill and desire to have and cannot obtain Ye fight and War and yet have not because ye ask not ye ask and receive not because ye ask amiss that ye may consume it upon your Lusts And whether or no Subjects taking up Arms against their King be a rectified Zeal let them consider and prove for it a Warrant from Gods Word which are so perswaded Let us but observe the Oath of Allegiance the Tenor whereof is thus for Word I. A. B. do truly and sincerely acknowledge profess testifie and and declare in my Conscience before God and the World that our Sovereign Lord King Charles the Second is Lawful and Rightful Heir of this Realm and of all other his Majesties Dominions and Countreys and that the Pope neither of himself nor by any Authority by the Church or See of Rome or by any other mans with any other hath any power or Authority to depose the King or to dispose of any of his Majesties Kingdoms or Dominions or to Authorize any Forreign Prince to invade or annoy him or his Countreys or to discharge any of his Subjects of their Allegiance and Obedience to his Majesly or to give License or Leave to any of them to bear Arms raise Tumults or to offer any violence or hurt to his Majesties Royal Person State or Government or to any of his Majesties Subjects within his Majesties Dominions Also I do swear from my Heart that notwithstanding any Declaration or Sentence of Excommunication or Deprivation made or granted or to be made or granted by the Pope or his Successors or by any Authority derived or pretended to be derived from him or his See against the said King his Heirs or Successors or any Absolution of the said Subjects from their obedience I will bear Faith and true Allegiance to his Majesty his Heirs and Successors and him and them will defend to the uttermost of my Power against all Conspiracies and attempts whatsoever which shall be made against his or their Persons their Crown and Dignity by reason or colour of any such Sentence or Declaration or otherwise and will do my best endeavour to disclose and make known to his Majesty his Heirs and Successors all Treason or Traiterous Conspiracies which I shall know or hear of to be against him or any of them And I do further swear that I do from my Heart abhor detest and abjure as impious and Heretical this Damnable Doctrine and Position that Princes which be Excommunicated or deprived by the Pope may be Deposed or Murthered by their Subjects or any other whatsoever And I do believe and am in Conscience resolved that neither the Pope nor any Person whatsoever hath power to absolve me of this Oath or any part thereof which I acknowledge by good and full Authority to be lawfully administred unto me and do renounce all Pardons and Dispensations to the Contrary And all these things do plainly and sincerely acknowledge and swear according to the express words by me spoken and according to the plain and common sence and understanding of the same words without any Equivocation or mental Reservation whatsoever and I do make this Recognition and acknowledgment heartily willingly and truly upon the true Faith of a Christian so help me God Thus in conclusion may we end with this Assertion that Popery is the worst Enemy to Monarchy and amongst Protestant Subjects Papists have most certainly been the instruments of sowing the seeds of discord in an unwearied endeavour to raise in the Mind of the Prince a disaffection to his People and in the Mind of the People a prejudice against their Prince the better to accomplish their cursed By and selfish Ends. Therefore let us unanimously pray to God to instruct the Mind of every King with Wisdom not to hearken to their cursed Devices and also of all Subjects not to be deluded to the dishonour of their God hurt of their Prince and ruine of themselves to any unnatural Rebellion against their Natural Lord and King But to conclude if so be any Prince should command any thing contrary to the Divine will as revealed to us in the Scriptures Which should we obey God or Man judge ye But doubtless though Paul would refuse in that case to yield active obedience yet not passive so as not by force of Arms to resist his Prince And therefore let us have the Christian prudence viz with a rectified Conscience and unbyassed inclination duely to weigh these propounded Reasons and Quaeries and the Natural and Scriptural inferences thereupon deduced that we may become Gods true servants and the Kings truly Loyal Subjects FINIS
