A97180	The devilish conspiracy, hellish treason, heathenish condemnation, and damnable murder committed and executed by the Iewes against ... Christ their king ... As it was delivered in a sermon on the 4 Feb. 1648 ... out of some part of the gospel appointed by the Church of England to be read on that day.	Warner, John, 1581-1666.	1648 (1648)	Wing W902; Thomason E550_16	37,074	47

this alone shall destroy him for being their naturall rightfull born King for such Jewes will never serve and obey any but either a Conquerour who holds them to it by dint of Sword or some tame Creature who will serve their turnes and obey their wills But the fifth cause comes nearer home to the root of all and that is exprest John 11.48 If we let him alone suffer him to live and not kill him some Forreigners Romans will come and take away our place we have now a toleration for our Religion any Sect is free in Gods service and worship to chuse and professe what he will be he Pharisee Sadducee or other and we have yet an Anarchy no Government but that of the Conquerour who so long as we honour humour and feed him and his leaves us to wallow in all sinnes as we lust whereas if this Ch the Anointed live and get the power be we Scribe Pharisee Presbyter yea the whole Councell he will not suffer or endure this but will take away our places our usurpt power and authorities and therefore in the next vers 49. Ye know nothing at all and ver 50. nor doe ye consider that it is expedient he the one man idie their feare of losse is the first immediate reall cause of their killing Ch the King The second last immediate fundamental cause of his death is their desire and hope to get and hold all the Power Authority which is the Kings and so we find it Mat. 21.8 This is the Heire let us kill him and let us seize on his inheritance Saint Luke hath it that the inheritance fiat may become ours which S. Marke expresseth by erit and then certainly it shall and will be ours none when he is dead can keep us from it so long as we hold in which we will alwaies doe with Caesar the Conquerour and now believe this to be as true as Gospel it selfe is that pretend the Jewes change of Religion destruction of Lawes losse of Liberty or what else to be the cause of killing the King all are but forged feigned and held out to deceive the people and blind the world for this habebimus is the cause when all is done We will kill Ch the King and so seize on his inheritance For this habebimus we will have is the largest Commander and the greatest Sinner in the world the intention plot and action of every mans ends in having his pleasure his profit and his will is the Devils first seed-plot and is the commotion or confusion of all for what is the Rulers study but to have his power enlarged what the Inferiours plea but to hold or encrease his liberty whereas could any Generall Councell determine and make it durable what every man should have all would soone be at peace whereas so long as this one Verbe we will have raignes in the Superiour and rageth in the Inferiour say what we will we can expect no better then Kill kill that we may have And as by inheritance in this Gospel Mat. 21. was primarily and principally meant the inheritance of the Vineyard which Vineyard Isa 5. Cant. 2. is expounded to be the Church so having the Church inheritance first brought the doctrine of killing into the Church quid vultis dare is the Jewes question in this case omnia haec is the Devils answer and such a dialogue betwixt the Devil and a Jew for the Church inheritance is enough to bring Ch the King to his death that the Jew by the Devils help may have the inheritance of the Church which rather then Ch the King would surrender up unto them it being his rightfull inheritance and committed to his trust by God himself he would rather suffer this ignominious death and for this he deserves to be everlastingly Chronicled as the Churches nursing Father Patron Protector and Martyr in that he was killed in defence of the Church But these Jewes and Conquerours betwixt them even while they speake this let us kill that we may have have that inheritance in their power and possession already what need they then kill the King that they may have what they have but having oftentimes as here now begets more then a bare having and therefore the Greek word in S. Matth. c. 21. is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is that we may hold it as we have got it by force the Sword and bloud for sinne and this sinne especially of forcible entrance will not easily be led out of its old track the Whore in the Apoc. c. 17. having tasted and delighted her self with bloud will not cease from swilling more till she be drunke with the bloud and that bloud not of the coursest or most common but the purest the holiest the bloud the Saints in the Church unjust Purchasers be it of Christs inheritance never think of restitution but retention how to hold it as they got it by the sword by bloud yea by the bloud of the rightfull Heire Ch the King So much the word in the originall will easily beare without much force and I conceiue somewhat more that is Let us kill him that we may have and hold more then what we yet have or more then ever he had let us never leave killing till we have all as much as our eyes can see or our hearts desire for ambition and usurpation are violent and greedy which like the Daughters of the Horse-leech are still gaping and crying Give give and more more yea of bloud and never think themselves full till they breake with fulnesse of bloud I shall end this point with this one short observation Ch the King like a Monarch whose institution was from Heaven heavenly held his inheritance Church and all in one single Person but these Husbandmen the Jewes liked not this though they thrived best under it but they will have it among themselves no more Monarchy by a King and Princes of the People but a pure Democracy though that the worst and the basest of all Governments it is like the Acephali which have faces of men in their brests but without an head such a Monster it is and yet this for the present pleaseth us and therefore we wil kill him the onely true Heire and rightfull King that we the people may have the inheritance but I must and cannot but tell these men that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is more antient then these Jewes and the Scepter in the hand of one is more steady and upright then in the hands of many and as we find one soule to governe one body and when it leaves to be one the body is dissolved so we may observe that the greatest Empires that ever were grew great by Monarchy which soone crumbled away when shared among the many in Gods name let all that love peace and unity crie 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 let us have one King and away with habebimus we the many will have the inheritance and governe for

King the Ancestors of these Jewes said to their King 2 Sam. 5.1 we are caro tua thy owne flesh and no man faith Saint Paul Ephes 5.30 I say none but a mad man or a Jew hath this hated his owne flesh But when this King perceived and saw that all their drift was to get his inhoritance 3. had it not been better for him and his people to have parted with that than thus to lose his life no this King inspered from above knew well what he did when he thus suffered for in it he hath proved and declared him selfe to be a King a just King a magnanithous King a religious King and a right good Shepherd who layeth downe his life for his Flocke and will not destroy them by saving his owne life and therefore he resolves rather then I will betray the rights of the Crowne the Lawes and Liberties of the People let them kill me And so being cometo this a cannot but remember a sweet meditation that Saint Bernard used upon the words of Saint Peter when Chr would wash his feet the Apostle in an awfull reverence breaks out O Master Tu mihi pedes thou to wash my feet on which the Father descants thus Quid est Tu quid est mihi quid est pedes and concludes cogitanda sunt non dicenda give me leave in imitation to aske quid est illi quid est occident quid est Illum they the worst to kill him the best of men they the feet to murder him the head they the scumme of the People to slaughter him the Anointed of the Lord they the lowest of Subjects to butcher him their King ô infandum scelus cogitanda non dicenda we cannot expresse the heinousnesse of the fact but they are to be laid up in the closets of our brests and we are to remember and in after better times to thinke on all that hath been done in order to this killing him the King An * Speed English Chronicler in the Life of Henry the 3. saith They that kill a Christian King commit a four-fold murder 1. Homicide killing a man 2. Parricide killing their publich civill Father 3. Christicide killing the Anointed of the Lo Ch 4. Deicide killing as much as in them is God himselfe being the King is Gods Vicegerent and of Kings God himself saith you are Gods livor post fata quiescit was antiently true that men let dead men rest in peace but Devils Beasts and such Iews as these degenerate in this from all mankind and therefore are not alone content to murder Ch their King but that they will crucifie him againe when he is dead and that not onely in his Disciples and Servants but in his never-dying name which like Flies they endeavour to corrupt and to blast suppresse or destroy all the heavenly fruits of his divine soule witnesse Saint Luke throughout the Acts of the Apostles where we find that these miscreant Iewes forbade all to preach or speake and punished all who durst be so justly holy as to publish any thing which might redound to his glory or the good of any who loved or adhered unto him yea if Nicodemus dare but say as he did Iohn 8.51 that by their Law none should be judged before he be heard which was Ch the Kings very case even for this Nicodemus is checked as a Malignant and neer to be made a Delinquent for ver 52. curstly the Iewes reply unto Nicodemus art thou of Galile art thou one of the pack if we find it so look to your selfe for all that adhere to him the King or to the Gospel of peace first or last shal suffer for or with him Oh more then devilish Iews Ye see and observe the wonderfull wisdome and justice of God who in this as in other wicked plots turnes the point upon the Sinners and wounds them with their owne weapons for nothing did or could advantage the propagation and growth of Ch the Kings most glorious name more then their forcible suppression of it S. Luke having finished the Gospel or Chronicle of Ch the King saith c. 24. 46. so it behoved Christ to suffer and if you aske why so 1. Because it was foretold Mat. 21. 2. As S. Paul speaks 1 Cor. 11.19 it behoved that the heresies rebellions wickednesses might be made manifest 3. That for this wicked act God may let the Iewes as the whole world see that he had just cause to destroy them as it is threatned Mat. 21.39 And 4. that Ch the King may rise againe and reigne in everlasting glory with his Father in Heaven as it followes in the words after my Text. And now they have made an end of him I would gladly end here but these Iewes not ending all in killing him they make me to follow them and to observe that in killing him their purpose is to kill more then him and herein to imitate the savage Tartars who when their great Cham dies they cast many of his nearest friends into the grave after him and so this issue here of his the Kings bloud is not stinched in the bloud of him alone I pray remember his words though in a parable Mat. 21. when he speaking of this act of the Iewes he saith these Iewes will have the inheritance and their meanes to have and hold it is by killing the Heire so that as long as there is an Heire the Iews voice is as there Hic Heres est This is the Heire Come let us him that the inheritance may be ours And this very thing Ch the King foresaw and foretold not long before his death when he said Mat. 23.34 Behold I send unto you Prophets and Wise-men and some of them you shall kill and some ye shall persecute from City to City and this Ch the King spake not onely by a prophetick Spirit but out of the consideration of their former actions for Lazarus the Noble-man Iohn 12. who adhered to Ch him they sought to put to death even even in Christs life time and therefore now let all his Friends and Followers look to themselves for when they have digged up the root they will not leave a branch nor a bough not any prop that supported either Peter being but suspected by a Wench to have been a Follower of Ch nay but to have been in his company had he not denied it he had paid dearly for it had he escaped his life and none can expect better now they have killed him Ch the King S. Basil said of Herod 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 His meat was the flesh and his drinke was the bloud of men and as it is said of the Whore Rev. 17.6 so of such they are 1. Unsatiable therefore drunke 2. Unmercifull for drunk with bloud 3. Unjust for with the bloud of Saints men holy in life and Martyrs Witnesses of Gods truth It is recorded Mark 12.8 that these Traytours killed him and cast him forth of the Vineyard whereas had they first
