no power either from God or Man to change or act any thing in the Government without his Majesties Consent and that no new Law can be made without the Concurrence of the Royall Power And whethes in this Querie our Author doth not slily incite the People to Rebellion by insinuating ●●to them the Doctrine of Iuspopuli or that they have a farther power of securing themselves that is indeed of undoing themselves than they yet know of VIII Whether it will not be for the perpetual Honour of the Magistrates of London to be first in this work forasmuch as that famous City hath woful experience in their many dreadful Burnings that the tender mercy of the Papists towards them is Popish Cruelty ADD Whether it will not be a most dreadful thing for the City of London to hearken to this Preacher of Sedition forasmuch as not only by the Dismal Fire he speaks of but also by a most violent Plague which he hath forgot to charge on the Papists and several other ways it hath already felt the most severe Judgments of Almighty God for having been prevailed on to bear so principal a part in the late Rebellion and to be amongst the first in that Cursed Work and hath long since learnt by woful Experience that the fair pretences of making the King Glorious are sure to end in Cutting off his Head IX Whether that Costly Monument erected near London-bridge is not to be a perpetual Land-mark for all English and Forrein Protestants forever to remember 1666. September 2. when those cursed I lotters began to set Fire at a Baker's House in Pudding-Lane which by their Emissaries was conducted on for four days together till it laid in Ashes thirteen thousand two hundred Houses laying waste three hundred seventy three Acres of Land within the Walls and above sixty three Acres without the Walls with eighty nine Parish-Churches ADD Whether that Costly Monument which was likely to have been Erected for his Late Majesty had not been a perpetual Land-mark for all English and Forrein Kings to remember 1648. January 30. when those Cursed Rebels cut off their Sovereigns Head and for twelve years together kept out the Lawful Heir till all the Acres of the Three Kingdoms Groaned under their Oppression And whether the Heads and Quarters of Traytors justly-Condemned and evidently Guilty on London-Bridge are not a better Testimony that those Rebels Murthered their King than the Monument near it is that the Papists Fired London which was never laid at least on the English Catholicks till an Hunger-starved Villain did it to get his Bread X. Whether the Spanish Invasions 1588. and the Gunpowder-Treason 1605. together with the cruel Murders and Massacres on some hundred thousand Protestants Men Women and Children in the Netherlands Ireland Piedmont and the Albigenses be not a sufficient Warning to England That they beseech their God and their King and their Parliament That no Papist of such destructive Principles may dwell in our Land ADD Whether the Rebellion begun in England 1641. the Murther of King Charles I. 1648. together with many Rebellions Murthers and Massacres transacted by Pretended Reformers as well in the Netherlands and France as all over Germany and elsewhere be not a sufficient warning to all Governments whatsoever to Repress such Reforming Pretences And if this be not done in England whether the King hath not sufficient Reason to beseech God that at least a Pendrel a Gifford or an Huddleston may be left of the Papists for fear there should be occasion again for such Loyalty as theirs XI Whether such a Day as this doth not loudly Call for Repentance that Protestants have been persecuting each other and for Vnity in Affection among all ●rotestant Subjects whether Conforming or Dissenting in some lesser Points And that as Brethren they unite in such a Combination or Conjuction as was in Queen Elizabeth's time with good Success to defend the Crown Religion and Kingdom against the common Enemy of Mankind Forasmuch as the Episcopal Protestants as well as others must lye down in the same Bed of Flames together if the Pope and his Party get the upper hand ADD Who they were that Made the Bed of Flames if it must be so called whereupon the late Arch-Bishop of St. Andrews lay down and that larger one which not long ago held all the Bishops of the three Nations with such as adhered unto them And whether those who called the said Arch-Bishop Judas and a Persecutor of the Children of God always looked on Lawn-sleeves as Rags of Antichrist affirmed the Cross in Baptism and Bowing to the Altar to be meer Idolatry and the like will content themselves with saying that Episcopal Protestants dissent from them in some leffer points when they get the upper hand And whether they did so formerly when they had it And whether it be not more probable that such vast numbers of them should have it again than an Handfull of Papists especially if they can but inviegle the Episcopists themselves to help them thereunto Who it was that had the title of the Common Enemy during the late Usurpation XII Whether it be not the Duty of all Good Protestants to pray for the Long Life of the King That He may live so as becometh the same Religion it being an Enemy to all Vice and the Maintenance of all Virtue Forasmuch also that the Removing of the King as the Papists call it is the most likely way to let in Popery and a Thousand other Miseries upon this poor Kingdom ADD Whether it be the Duty of any good Man to preach as the Puritan Doctors do that Magistrates lose their Authority when they commit a Mortal Sin Whether by this Querie our Loyal Author doth not endeavour to throw some dirt on the King and whether it be not to be suspected that he prays backward for him Whether His Majesty be not in greater danger of being made a Glorious King as the Presbyterians call it as the most likely way of letting in Anarchy Confusion and a thousand other Miseries upon this poor Nation than of being removed by those who are only hated for being truly Loyal XIII Whether it be not high time for all the Protestants in England to Resolve as one Man That they will stand by and maintain the Power and Priviledges of Parliament Together with the Power and just Rights of the King according to the Laws of the Kingdom so as the one may not Intrench upon the other ADD Whether it be not high time on this intimation of our Author for all good men to take care lest the ill should once more begin to beat their Drums FOR KING AND PARLIAMENT XIV Whother it be not the Duty of all Good Protestants to be heartily Thankfull to God for the timely Discoveries of this Hellish Plot and also to pray that God would preserve the King and Kingdoms witnesses that they may finish their Testimony to the well becoming so signal a Work and
