conscience that can distinguish without a difference whereas indeed the root of the matter grows out of that old rotten maxime No Bishop no King He that can breake his word when hee will and make conscience but of what he will well he may ruine me but he shall never deceive me whose nature is so apparently disagreeing to his office and the duties belonging thereunto From the Bishops whose abolition he tells you in his message from the Isle of Wight he cannot consent to he falls downe to the Militia and does as unclearly consent to that as he clearly dissented from the other for first having laid a firme foundation of it to be inherent in the Crown as if the interest of the King were divers from that of the Kingdome and the Crowne or Court to be preferred to the Commonwealth and its safety by a strong assertion though he can neither presse men nor raise monies and therefore cannot give his consent to alienate it from the Crowne and that because of his trust which he is carefull to keep but not to performe Yea so tender is he of the Commonwealth that he will not part with the Militia no not to it selfe but to give an infallible evidence of his intentions he will and he will not as to himselfe depart with it during his reigne for first he sayes he will consent to an act that the whole power of the Militia shall during that time be ordered and disposed by the two Houses and after he comes with a mentall reservation and saith that neither his Majesty nor any other by any authority derived only from him shal execute c. also that patents and commissions must go as formerly viz. in his name which to grant it seems in court construction is to yeeld the right of the Militia to be in the Crown the thing he mainly drives at for thereby he gains more de jure then he loses de facto and therefore the more is it to be avoided and the legall intentions of such formes of Law and the tearmes thereof bordering upon the Crown both in this and other things of like nature ought to be made more explicate both to the vulgar peoples better understanding and Kings also who only talke of a trust to delude the people and make it a stalking horse to compasse their wills and make themselves absolute for what beares their image or superscription it seems according to the Court-creed is believed to be absolutely and inseperably theirs as if the Crowne were neither from nor for the people upon these tearmes in time our monice will be pretended to as well as our Laws if care be not taken to prevent it All monopolies have legall pretences specially prerogative the worst of all wherewith his Majesty is so inpetuously principled that he is not counsellable in things touching comm n and publick good in a regular understanding of them according to the end and ordination of government If the Militia be a flower of the Crowne pray take it out and sticke a jewel i' th room on 't which is both of more Majesty and lesse danger From the Militia h … passes to the Armies arrears and in time proffers to pay them 400000. l. a great summe it seems he hath been lustily promised and well advised during his abode at Hamptor-Court but nothing to a willing minde for so he hopes either to disband them and then he knowes how to re-inburse that money and as much more as will pay his arrtars also or to win them to himselfe when he himselfe becomes their pay-master And though he cannot depart with the Militia from the Crowne yet with the Court of Wards be can though that also is invested in the Crowne for protection and that of Infants but this he is content to have taken away if it seem grievous not the other though it bee so to all In the close he mindes them of that which of all other must not be forgotten The dissolving this Parliament to make way for another by due elections that is wherein his partizans Cavalliers and malignants may be both elected and electors and so undoe all that either is already or shall hereafter be done by this and then we have span a long thread to little purpose rare sophistry and King-craft But I hope the people of England understand their interest better then thus to pull downe their props and being the house upon their heads and that they will not take seemings for Beings not shadowes for reallities Take heed of disguises and Court-masks after so many blowes and bullets be not fool'd with faire words and false sires The Remedy Bele●ve your selfe a Subject as well as a Sovereigne and know that honesty is the best policy stand not on your head and shake your heels against heaven Take God more into your counsells and your people into your care It hath ever been the fault of Kings to study and practice polity more then piety which hath brought so great miseries on on many of them and some to untimely ends and what came of then after God knows what will it advantage you to gaine the whole world of power and that power never so absolute and lose your precious soule you must dye as well as other men and leave
