flourish and the Commons will flourish See Psal 72. 132. vers 15. 16 Merchants and Tradesmen Artificers and Husbandmen and all will flourish for there will be no breaking in of sorraign forces no leading into captivity by civil insurrections no more cause of complaining in our streets And which is best of all in his time the righteous shall flourish and Religion shall flourish for the Cross of Christ never Triumphs so gloriously as when it is advanced upon the Crowns of pious Princes Truth shall flourish out of the earth and Righteousness shall look down from Heaven Mercy and Truth will meet together Righteousness and Peace will kiss each other The Sun of righteousness will smile upon us and spread his soft wings over us to heal and shelter us And by the flourishing of the Kings Crown upon Himself the whole Kingdom will be Crowned The Church will be crowned with Order and Devotion the Country with plenty and contentment the Cities with Wealth the Universities with Learning all Professions will be crowned with privileges and the whole Nation with happiness peace and glory These are the blessings we are to proclaim to you this day under the Authority of our most Gracious Soveraign And yet I am unwilling to precipitate any backward inclinations to transact an affair of so great importance Are you not hereby invited to oblige your selves to a huge piece of modern injustice of rendring unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods Shall you not commit your selves prisoners to golden setters by owning and submitting to this Authority Will you not lose the happiness of Confusion and that great priviledge for every man to do what is right in his own eyes Will not this be a return to your bounden duty and service and so cancel those several late Oaths and Engagements which have so long stood at Push-a-Pike one against another Will you not return into the Sacred Canon those many Monarchical Texts of Scripture which have so long been laid aside as Apochryphal shall you not run the hazard of being put under the influences of such an ignorant scandalous or disaffected Ministry as will grate your tender ears with the harsh Doctrines of loyalty and obedience such as will not have consciences wide enough to permit you to swallow those sweet morsels of Sacriledge without a check but wil enveigh against it as a crime to enrich your selvs with the spoils of Gods House and a crime of so great a magnitude that it is not to be expiated without repentance and restitution And will not such a Ministry be ready to press upon you the observation of those obsolete rules of the Apostle to have all things that appertain to Gods worship and service done decently and in 1 Cor. 14. 40. order Will you not betray tender consciences by this means and deprive them of their sweet liberty which they have so long taken to despise Dominion and speak evil of Dignities and to revile all persons in Sacred Orders under the Title of Baals Priests Will you not hereby give encouragement to have that intollerable yoak of bondage put upon them of worshipping God in the beauty of holiness And though a due tolleration be Psal 96. 9. allowed to tender Consciences will they not be apt to be allured and drawn in by the Loadstone and the Charms of a Royal example To serve the Lord with fear and to rejoyce before him with reverence These I know are some of your great fears and jealousies Psal 2. 11. nay your main objections though perhaps you 'l think fit to cloath them with more dismal and odious Epithets and truly if any of you be not able to satisfie your selves in these particulars for my part I shall never advise you to wound such Consciences by presenting your selves to assist in the accomplishment of this undertaking And for such whose hearts the Lord hath touched with a sense of loyalty and their duty to his Anointed I have but three words to add by way of request to them not to eclipse or sully the Glory of this happy Day with any debauchery or intemperance for in stead of dressing up the Crown such unworthy practises will stain the fair flowers of it And now give the King thy Judgments O God c.
