his Soveraign is not only in Action but also in Words and Cogitations the good he is to do out of Obedience and in true Allegiance is not only to pay Tribute unto his Soveraign for his Regal support but also fighting his Battels with Joab adventuring his life with David and revealing with religious Mordecai all treasonable Designs and Attempts to pour out Prayers and Supplications for his welfare and safety to esteem and honour him from the Heart and out of Conscience as the Anointed of the Lord. Thus are all Subjects commanded by the old and new Law to honour serve preserve and obey their King and not to lay violent hands on his Sacred Person but to succour and defend him with the hazard of their lives notwithstanding the Pope's arrogant presumptive Power and Antichristian Doctrine in discharging all Subjects from their Allegiance absolving them from their Oaths of Obedience and giving them License to bear Arms and offer violence to their King a most Licentious Impious Irreligious and Diabolical Principle contrary not only to the Laws of the Kingdom as you may find in Bracton's Customs of England he was Lord Chief Justice under King Henry the Third Freemen and Servants are subject unto his Power as also whatsoever is under him ipse sub nullo nisi sub deo no man then ought to presume to examine his doings much less to oppose them by force or violence it is contrary to the Law of God also where it is said Where the Word of a King is there is Power and who may say unto him What dost thou This Power is given by God who counselleth To keep the King's Commandments and that in regard of the Oath of God for he doth whatsoever pleaseth him An evident Testimony that no mortal man whether Pope or Priest have or ought to have either Power or Superiority over a King as you may see further how St. Paul commanded every Soul to be subject to the higher Powers Rom. 18. he acknowledged himself subject unto Caesar and no wonder when Christ himself paid unto him Tribute and confessed one of Caesar's subordinate Magistrates Pilate to have Power over him and that given from above John 19. St. Peter likewise writing to his Fellow Presbyters whom he exhoreth to feed the Flock of God that they would submit themselves unto the King as unto the Superiour 1 Pet. 5.2 1 Pet. 2.5 Chrysostom says The Office of a Priest is only to reprove and freely to admonish and not to move Arms Sedition or Rebellion nor to use Bucklers nor to shake a Lance but only to argue and freely admonish Tertullian speaking of Kings says Inde illis est potestas unde spiritus thence have they their Power whence their Spirits Irenaeus saith cujus jussu nascunter homines ejus jussu constituuntur principes by whose appointment they are born Men by his appointment are they made Princes and not by the Pope's who were in former times both elected and deposed by Emperours and Kings and no wonder when the High Priests themselves were subject unto Kings and punished by Kings for their Offences 1 Sam. 22. 1 King 5. 1. King 2. Optatus saith There is not any man above the Emperour Chrisostom saith No man is equal to him upon Earth St. Cyril and Agapetus affirm the same Pelagius the first Roman Bishop of that name wrote these words unto Childebert King of France With how great study and labour are we to strive that for the removing the scandal of suspicion we may minister the obsequiousness of our Confession unto Kings unto whom the holy Scripture commandeth us to be subject this not five hundred years after Christ Gregory the Great Bishop of Rome confessed That Power was given from above unto the Emperour above all men and further saith I being subject unto your Command not out of feigned Humility but out of Conscience and Duty c. Otho the Emperour deposed John the 22th for his impure and vitious life Therefore Dear Cousin let this and your own experience not only satisfie you of the Papal Infallibility and Vsurped Power but also move you to recollect your Memory as to the enlargement of your Evidence not only against those Jesuitical Wolves and Pope's Emissaries but likewise against all other Traytors and Malefactors in this Hellish Plot concerned to your knowledge and assure your self that I will assist you with all that you have as I may well say under a Jesuitical Vaile related to me whereby I hope you may remember more than I have seen in your last Deposition by this means and no other you may recover your lost Credit serve your King and Country and hope for the Blessing of God and your Father who obliges you upon the duty of a Son to inform all you can and against all you can My affectionate good wishes and Prayers shall be for ever for your welfare and safety I am dear Cousin Your Affectionate Cousin and ready Servant John Smith Let me hear from you as soon as you can Note That His Majesty upon the perusal of the first of the said Letters thought fit that the Original should be left in the Custody of one of the Clerks of the Council with Directions That an Authentick Copy thereof should be delivered to me But the Original of the second is yet in my Custody Robert Jenison If in the second Letter too much Gall seem mingled with the Ink and some bitter Expressions contained therein it may be alledged in Excuse That long before Mr. Smith was born Censures more severe have passed on the Jesuits and that by Members of the Roman Communion Watson's Quodlibet 9. Art 10. calls their Government Antichristian Tartarian Turcical and Tyranical and their Doctrine about it Paradoxal Pragmatical and Stratagemical Besides I know Mr. Smith to be of such Excellent Morals and of so poized and just a temper that 't is hard to transport him to extremes So that those Expressions seem to be extorted from him out of a just detestation of their late cruel Designs and if the Jesuits did often hear such Reproofs and submit themselves to be regulated thereby it might be hoped that their Parts and Abilities would contribute to the setling and establishment of Kingdoms and not to the destruction and ruine of them ADVERTISMENT THE Reader is desired to take notice That there are many material things more that are not convenient at present to publish with such confirming proofs of what is herein before set forth as will satisfie all the World how deep this horrid Conspiracy hath been laid and carried on for destruction of his Majesty's Person whom God preserve and the Government FINIS ERRATA PAge 30. line 38. for had not read had he not p. 34. l. 3. for granted and full read granted out and full p. 38.
