TO unbowell my acts, yea intentions to the censorious and itching times with Athenian eares, desiring novelties more insatiably then Messalina and Proculus new lusts, or mate­ria prima, the first matter, new formes, nothing now venting but newes and toyes, even Bibles themselves lesse looked on or after then Bables, Pamphlets, and Ballads, all solid books being sligh­ted by the vulgar as Pearles by Hogs, and Gold by Fools, and turned by mis-spent time into eare-tickling newes, as Religion in our late abused peace, in most places was turned all into Rites and Ceremonies, as Bottle-Ale into froath, or as they say of Sy­comore trees, their barkes being more then thrir brier: there being lately by a neare friend of mine a Treatise pen'd called Ominous Court Ravens croaking Kings above Lawes, silenced by Lawes sacred and secular, and being as soone rejected by as pre­sented to some Stationers for the presse, because it was too so­lid and judicious for the light headed staggering intoxicated times, fed rather now (like the Gospells prodigall) with husks, hawes and light Awnes then with solid meat, yea with lusted Quailes rather then Manna; I having seriously perused that ela­borate worke amongst other discussions usefull for the times, (had it seene the light) I noted the poisonous packs and fatall fardells of Popish Counsellours, Favorites and Abettors, to Pro­testant Princes, fully unripped. Now to set footing or to wade after where the unprinted Manuscript broke the ice, I desire, as the case now stands, to anchor all Fluctuations and doubts, that all the blinded eyes in the Kingdome were Swalllow-like, rub­bed with Celedine or Collirium, and that all insatuated braines were purged with Hellibore, to discerne what firme friends Pa­pists have been to Protestant Princes ever since Papisme, chiefly Jesuitisme was hatched (like all other our late renewed Heresies) from hell it selfe: and to look with in partialll eyes into their plots oft effected, if according to their sanguinnolent positions, [Page 2]commented by their practices in all States, they be not and ever have been as sure friends to Orthodox Princes, as Hawkes to in­nocent Doves, Hounds to hunted Hares, Wolves to Lambs, and all kinds of Serpents, from the Basilisk and great Regulus to the little Dipsas, to all of humane races, yet hinc nostri fundi ca­lamitas, here is our fore-seen wrack and woe, that these Serpents that we have so long fought against to crush them, as Pigmees against Craines, yea as Meleager against the Calidonian Boare, and the Romane Regulus against the great Serpent at Bagrada, must now by a promiscuous Toleration of an Hotch-potch and Gallamawfrey of all Sects, if some powers as their pates and pens may rule the Roast, be warmed againe in the bosome of our Church and State to sting us to death, whom the sword of Warre with the effusion of Hecatombes of blood hath so long endeavoured to crush and curb like Cockatrices or Crocodiles in their shells, or as State-firing, Church-poisoning Snakes in their heads, which to prevent what afterwards (like Trojans af­ter-wise) we may repent, as well as ruinated Germany, and the Palatinate, by Papall Imperiallists; let us not be hoodwink'd a­ny more, nor carried like Hawkes blindfolded on the fist, and though Popery now like a little river swallowed into a great Sea, seem to be drowned in the vast gulphs of greater Heresies, and more horrid blasphemies then either Michael Servetus vo­mited out in Geneva, or Simon Magus in Samaria, or Monta­nus with his Priscilla, or Arrius, or Ebion, or Cerinthus in the Primitive times, or Munster, or David George, or Familist, or Enthusiast in Belgia, or Ket, or Hacket, or Ardington, or Copping­ger here in England, as our zealous Ministers in London have protested against them, though now the great Antichrist, as some thinke, now come into the world as the great Dragon hath devoured in a manner Popery the lesser Antichrist, as the greater sound is said to drowne the lesser, and the greater light to dim the lesser, yea as Naturians tell us, as a Serpent eats a Serpent before he comes to be a Dragon, yet never the lesse as a lesser Bodkin may stab a Caesar, every Jesuitized Papist according to their doctrine and practises being armed as a Ravillack, a Parry, a Lopus, a Lupus, a Jaques Clement still, with a Bodkin, a Pistoll, a poyson even for a suspected re­gall Protestant. Antagonist against their Hierarchie, as well as against the two French Henries, much more a detected Adver­sary [Page 3]to their proceedings, as some of the Germane Fredericks and Henries, and our English Henry the 8. knowing still how to hit the Basilicall veine, how ever they have lately pretended to be Caesars best Catholike Subjects, as good as any man ever hanged upon his hedge, as true friends to him as ever Iudas pre­tended himselfe towards Christ, Ioab to Abner, weeping Is­mael to Gedeliah, Jer. 41.6. yea as the French Laffin to the great Byron, and our English Banister to his Duke, or any other Traytors to Potentates, and States, whom these Quoy-ducks have betrayed, as Sinon once did Troy, Zopirus Babylon, and our English York Deventree to the Spaniards; yea, however as flat­tering Zibaes they stole away the eare and heart of regality for a time so farre from true hearted Mephibosheths, 2 Sam. 16.3. as to be thought to stand and fight for Casar, and to side with him and with his Religion, as the wolves should take part with the Sheepheard against the Sheepheards Dogs that keep the Flocks, and that the best Centinells over the flocks should be no better then painted Traytors, as though Cataline Romes Fire­brand, and his Catilinarians were onely the best Bulwarks of and Benefactors unto Caesar, the Senate and the Plebeians, and Lucius Sicinius, called the Achilles of Rome, and Marcellus the Sword of Rome, De his & Aliis vide Sibel. in sup­ple. lib. 6. c. 3. & Valer. lib. 5. cap. 2. and lingring Fabius the Atlas of Rome, and Tully the Father of his Countrey, and Codrus the Father of the Senate, should be counted as Tobiah and Sanballat, and Ham­man were to the Jewes, or every one of them like Hannibal, a profest enemy and adversary to the Romans, this were as though Penelope, Lucrece and Susanna should be thought as dis­honest as once the Popes Mazoria, the Grecian Hellena, or any Italian Curtizans and the Corinthian Lais and Thais, the Ro­mane Flora, and our English Conquerours Arlet or Harlot, yea the shamelesse Pasiphae were as honest as Abrahams Sarah, or Willowbies Avisa, so incurring by this crosse-capering, no lesse then this curse, of calling evill good, and good evill, light dark­nesse, and darknesse light, Esa. 5.20. the Crow white and the Swan blacke, a Plebeian a Preacher, a Mechanick a Minister, a Dunce a Doctor; a Taylor a Teacher, a Mute a Vowell, a Dul­man a Divine, and a Divine a Dry vine, a blind Guide a seer, a Barne-Babler a brave Benclark, a poore arrogant ignorant a [Page 4]Prophet, a cloud a Juno, a Figure a Cypher, and a Cypher a Fi­gure; Asinus ad Liram, asinus ad Tribunal, an Asse a Musitian, yea an Asse a Magistrate, and Balaams Asse a Minister, repro­ving Prophets, and Saul seeking Asses a Mushrump Prophet: in such an Hysteron Proteron and Phaetonian confusion, as though this giddy-headed age should turne every thing topsie turvy, sus (que) de (que) the heavens to stand still, as Celum once in the Co­mody called Lingua, and the dull earth to move, as Copernicus once conceited all things running on wheeles, as some Gran­dees and Professours rotten at the core, go to heaven the clean contrary way.

So it is and so it hath been for any Jesuitized Papist by his pate, or purse, or arme, (for all his charmes) to help any Pro­testant Prince, to establish any Religion, though Episcopized, but his owne, as if a Milstone, or wedges of lead or irons tied a­bout a swiming mans neck should help him to swim to the shore; or as though a handfull of soot, ink, or tar, should better then cleare water, oyle of Lillies, or of Tartar, help a man to wash his face, and to take out all abstersive spots: I am as sensible as the Spider of the least touch of her web, that this pressed point in diebus illis in our ill daies, in B. Quondams time had been du­rus sermo, a harsh doctrine, it would have incurred either a si­lencing, chiefly at the Court with, Prophesie not this in Bethell, for it is the Kings Chappell, Amos 7.13. or it might have incur­red a currish censure of a slit nose, or a cropped eare in touch­ing Papists Favorites to many Prelates, to their little Laud be it spoken, in many things both politicall and Ecclesiasticall, as fa­miliarly sympathizing as Simeon and Levi, Gen. 49.5. or as He­rod and Pilate reconciled: amongst other demonstrations more then Mathematicall, this is one that for many by-past yeares E­piscopacy tutoring Regality, that it sailed betwixt two Rocks, the Scylla of Popery, and the more dangerous Carybdis of Pu­ritanisme, as then all true zeal for Reformation was nick-named, of the two evills minimum eligendum, the lesse being to bee chosen, Queen Elizabeth, and two succeeding Monarchs after her, were perswaded that more favour and connivance was to be used to the first as birds of their owne feather, then to the last as more factious, and so more perillous to Church and State: And for this purpose to make up their mouths, and to set a glosse and vernish on their false and frivolous surmises and suggestions, [Page 5]one Owen a Papall Proctor, in his Antipareus, and Omerod a scur­rilous fellow in his picturé of a Puritan, and the disguised Au­thour of Lisimachus Nicanor, with many such Panders for the Scarlet Whore, chiefly that great Dick Ecclesiae Bankcroft the petty Pope of Canterbury in his Theses Periculosa, out of the writings of some Presbyterians, culls out some positions dan­gerous and State-firing, as they are branded, which are wrested and wrung so as a man his nose till it give blood, and so set on the Tenterhooks of construction as that Tyrant in History racked out every short guest to fit a long bed, to the equalli­zing of Presbyterians in their positions, if not practices, to be as great Antagonists to the peace and safety of Princes, as the worst of Papists which ever filled the Trojan horse of any State with the armed Greeks of Traitors: but they may put all in their eyes which they gain by their sophistry and prevarications, making as Bellarmine that Tortus in his torturing the Greek and Latine Fathers and other Postillers, quid libet ex quolibet, every thing of any thing: for he that seriously peruseth Vrsinus his Exercitations, Lib. 2.

Peter, Acts 5. & Rom. 13.4.

However for my part, as being homo ecclesiae, a man Orthodox and not willing to patronize any errour, if once convicted, if any can prove that ought in these recited Authours is errone­ous, as he that reads Scultetus his Medulla Patrum, Illiricus his Catalogue of the witnesses of the Truth, M. Perkins his Apologie, and the writings of the Fathers, shall see in Cyprian, Tertullian, Basill and Augustine himselfe, chiefly in Origen, grosse mists and clouds in these and others, counted the lights of the Church, as there is some drosse in every Age in the best gold, or if any can prove these their opinions to be private Tenets, and not according to the Analogie of faith, nor according to the Nicen and the other three first Generall Councells which Gregory so respected, nor according to the 39. Articles agreed upon and received by our Church: then I say, I am not bound to plead for them further then the truth is their Proctor, nor tied jurare in verba magistri, to call them, as Cyprian called Tertullian, my Masters, or to rest on them as the Pithagoreans on their Masters ipse dixit, as on a Delphick Oracle, since sequor Cyprianum qua­tenus Cyprianus Scripturam, I follow Cyprian and all other o­thers so farre as they follow the Scriptures which all must search, Ioh. 5. and to whom si runpantur Ilia codri, if the Devill should storme and all his upstart Heretikes burst their guts, we must have recourse, tanquam ad lidium lapidem, as to the touch-stone of all truths, Acts 11. without which quid mihi cum centum Cy­prianis, cum centum Augustinis, what have I to doe with all the Fathers, Councels and Divines ancient and moderne? yet thus much I say further for them, though my taske be onely to shred them from the poisonous positions of Papists, and though my [Page 7]resolutions be not to discusse nor determine the maine point that exerciseth the pens, tongues, and pates of all the Politians in the world, howsoever being chiefly successive, like the Infantaes of Spaine, the Dolphins of France, and the Princes of Wales, though intrenching upon tyranny, injustice, and misgovernment, may be opposed or deposed, as not willing without a calling, to put my finger in a flame which I cannot quench, so I will be so farre from a distasted fruit called Medlar, as new perhaps as dangerous to him that meddles with it too much, as once bulls blood to Themistocles, the raw Polipus to Diogenes, or a Fico from a jealous Italian, that I will not so much as recite, as I could at large the verdicts of some learned moderne Civilians, Divines and Polititians in this so much controverted point: but onely like the finger in the Diall, that points at the houre, referre every Sceptick and scrupulous spi­rit for his satisfaction, to Soto Major de Justitia & Iure, quest. 4. art. 1. to Vasquez in his illustrious Controversies, lib. 1. cap. 26.

Pryn in the Parliamentary passages in Hungary, France, Suevia, Spaine, Italy. Bohemia, Denmarke, Scotland, and how farre they have [Page 10]been improved against such Princes as have split the ship of State by misgovernment, or dilacerated their people by tyranny, or spun­ged them by injustice, such men-Monsters for Monarchs as were once Ecclinus in Sabellicus his Chronicles, lib. 8. cap. 3. and Phereus in Tullies Offices, lib. 2. and Melancthons Chronologies, lib. 2. and Aristobulus in Josephus his Antiquities, lib. 13. cap. 18. as also Ma­crinus, Nero, Phraates, Vedius Pollio, and many more, whose ty­rannies as incurable as cruell, are fully related by Tholosanus Lib. 6. cap. 18. and the French Bodin Lib. 2. cap. 6., in their Common-wealths, by Lipsius Lib. 6. cap. 5., and Danaeus Lib. 6. c. 3., in their Politicks, by Valerius Lib. 9. c. 14., and Aelianus Lib. 13. & 14., in their Histories, Melancthon in his Chronicles, lib. 4. and Gorlicius in his Politicall Axioms, Axiom. 16. these with ma­ny more The three Herods Maximium, An­tiochus, Adonize­beck, Scylla, Dio­nisius., how farre they have been crossed, limited, bridled, censured in the severest man­ner, all may better drink at the fountaines heads and be satisfied in their scruples, by consulting the large Tracts of the Authors quoted, then by my poor pitchers, if I should draw ought or lap ought from them, as Poets in another streame out of Homers bason.

These things being thus premised, it being extra alam, without both the sphaere of my purpose, and not correspondent to the ti­tle of this Tractate, to discusse this maine controverted point, how farre Regality turned to Tyranny may be opposed or depo­sed, about which most Civilians, yea Divines also, are as much di­vided, pro & contra, as the Poetized Deitles in Homer and Virgil, about the Grecians and the Trojans, some siding with the one, some with the other, Mulciber in Trojam, pro Troja stabat Apollo, so that I may hoc agere, keep me only to my proposed and intended point, to cleare our English Thames and Scotch Twede from running in such sanguinolent streames of regall and legall blood estused, both by guns and gownes in war and peace, as some lay to their charge in such Torrents and Heeatombes as have run daily from Po and Tiber, to the turning all States where Jesuits have acted, into red seas of blood, and washed Protestant Princes out of their Thrones: for which cause to open the eyes of the blinded Baalites, and to stop the mouths and blunt the horned pens of such blatrant beasts as Jurwicius in his booke of the Professors of the fift Gospell, of [Page 11] Possevine, in his booke of the Atheisme of Protestants, of Rainolds in his Calvins Turcisme, of Gifford in his Preface before that book, of Feverdentius upon Jude, of Turner in one of his Orations a­gainst Queen Elizabeth, of Cocleus, Bolsecus, Eudaemon, Scurrilous Kellison in his Survey, and other Romish Rabshekahs who divulge all puritanicall Protestants no better then Atheists, worse then Turks, Jewes, worst of Heretikes in the Church, worst of Tray­tors and Catilnarians in all States, Lisymachus Nicanor stretching much to parallel them in the last with the worst of Pontificians in his Invectives either for a larger Rotchet, like Parsons once, and Eccius, or for a Cardinalls Hat, or for a Miter with Wolsey: how­ever the former imputations be abundantly cleered, and retorted upon themselves by Doctor Willet in his Tetrastilon, by Gabriel Powell and Doctor Beard, in their learned bookes of Antichrist, by Mr. Squire upon the Thessalonians, Doctor Sutcliffe in his Tur­kish Papisme, Doctor Feild in his fift book of the Church, and many more, yet to quench this last brand, cast upon both our Patriots and Presbyterians of being as small friends, nay as intestine foes to all Caesars and their safeties, as the most malignant Masse­mongers, pestilent Priests, and Jebusiticall Jesuites, as fire may come forth from the repercussions of slint and steele; I desire to light a candle of truth to all sorts from our Dan to Bersheba; yea to this present and to future ages throughout Europe, to see the evident difference as much betwixt them, as betwixt Wolves and Lions, Doves and Serpents, in these subsequent positions, practises, postures, and passages propounded in these Queres.

First, what Belgick Scotch or English Puritan (no not Browne, Penry, nor Martin Mar Prelate) ever preached or printed, that Princes, if they be Heretikes and Tyrants, of Papists new minting and moulding, that is contradictory in judgement and practice to every novell Opinion, Idolatry, Superstition and Heresie in their Hierarchy, not downe right for the Antichristian Papacie, but chiefly if so opposite to them and their Dotages in Doctrine and Discipline, that they seeke to resist crush or curb their blasphemies by Statute, Lawes, Edicts, Mulcts, Decrees, Exiles, Imprisonments, as Christian Emperours have done, (what ever Anabaptists and Libertines blatter to the contrary) as appeares by Eusebius in his life of Constantine, lib. 3. cap. 62.63. Ambrose in his Explication upon Luke cap. 15. as also by Augustine, in his 48. Epist. and some Constitutions of the two Theodosians and others in the Com­mon [Page 12]Law Vide Theodos. l. 1. cod. de Trinitate & Cunctis cap. de Hae­ret., that then as absolute Tyrants, they may eo nomine, be deposed, being first ex­communicated, as were the Othoes, Henries and Fredericks in Germany, Childerick in France, and our English Deborah here in England, by five Popes, their great Monarch of the Church (as they call him) supreme under Christ, ha­ving power in ordine ad Deum, in his relation to Christ, to depose such Kings and dispose their Kingdomes, as once from an Henry to a Rodulph Petradedit, Pe­tro petra, Diadema Rodulpho.: did ever Calvin, Danaeus, Knox, Buchanan, Goodman, broach any such Doctrine as this which is writ in the blood of Kings by Creswell, in his Philopater, pag. 194. Mo­lin in his unjust Tractate of Justice, Tract. 2. Disp. 39. p. 149. Saunders in his visible Monarchy, lib. 2. cap. 4. pag. 70. Coster in his Enchiridion, part 1. pag. 64. and Bellarmine their great Goliah, in his fift booke of his Pope, cap. 6, 7.

Secondly, what Puritan called Catharist, and Novatian in S. Cyprians time, and now Presbyterian or Parliamentary, yea where did any Synod of the whole Presbytery, or Senate of Or­thodox Patritians, ever absolve all Subjects from all subjection and subordination, from all obedience sworne by solemne Oaths, from such Princes as the pillars, Catterpillars and Proctors for Anti­christ in their senslesse senses, in their Mints and Forges make He­teticall or Tyrannicall (that is to say just and zealous Protestants) Oathes, being the onely ties and Obligements which Princes have to secure their Crownes and lives; when did ever any Puritan, (unlesse they will make such impure ones as Munster and Familists in Belgia, and Straw, Cade, Tiler, and other Rebells in England, the scum and froath of men, Puritans) when I say, did they ever unty this Gordian knot, as both by their tongues and pens, (lavish, loose and poisonous) many of them, and not of the meanest fools, have attempted, as amongst the rest Azorius in his Institutions, cap. 15. sexto, and Massonius the Lawyer in his Majesty of the Militant Church, part 2. lib. 4. pag. 676. Simancha a Bishop in his Institutions, Tit 23. Sect. 11. Cardinall Tolet in his Instructions (or Destructions) for his Priests, lib. 1. cap. 13.

Glossa with all the bleat­ing Calves of Babell, such as Allen, Parsons, Saunders, after the roaring bulls of Pius (or Impius) the fift, and Gregory the 9. against Queen Elizabeth, as they have been well baited by many a valorous Papistomastix, chiefly by Michael Rhemigerus, Anno Dom. 1582. as also by him that hath writ the booke called Brutum Fulmen, scoffing the Papall paper squibs and Balaams curses in their Excommunications of the French Kings.

Thirdly, howsoever Puritans falsly nick-named, that is zealous and Oxthodox Protestants may teach, that Princes whether ele­ctive or successive, subordinated to Lawes divine and humane, may be bridled by State Ephorists in their unlimited humours and tu­mours, and kept in as the Hollanders the feared inundations of the Sea within banks, chiefly when their surging waves are swell'd by the winds of ill Counsellours; and withall as wife men use Law and Physick, tanquam ultimum refugium, as their last refuge, that Subjects se defendendo, by that Law which nature dictates selfe-pre­servation to man, birds and beasts, may take up defensive rather then offensive armes, as endangered David did when he was hun­ted as a Partridge over the Mountaines by sanguinolent Saul, 1 Sam. 22.2. and as Mardocheus and the Jewes stood upon their Guards, when their lives were sought and plotted by Haman, Esther 9.16. as also in defence of the Municipall Lawes of a Kingdome, or for the prevention of the ruination of a Kingdome, by the confederacy of home-bred viperous Tyrants and Forraigne intestine enemies; yet neverthelesse. when did any Presbyter or Patriot excite Subjects, as our Jesuiticall Firebrands do, to take up armes against a Protestant King, and to kill him who ever can, by sword, pistoll or poison, no more sparing him then a Beare or a Wolfe in such cases of Treason, in such cases of Injustice, Heresie, and Tyranny, as Satan hatcheth and coddles in their Serpentine heads, that is, being not wholly leavened with their Romish Lea­ven, worse then that of the Scribes and Pharisees, when did ever Edenborough or Geneva send forth such a Trojan horse filled with the armed Greekes of treasonable positions, such as are vented or vomited in this kind, extant Cum Privilegio, by Gregory de Valentia, Tom. 3. Disp. 2. punct. 2. by Simancha, in his Institu­tions, tit. 23. sect. 12.13. by their Rainaldus in his Rosaeus, pag. 157. [Page 14]by Bannes on Aquinas, 2.2.9.12. art. 2. which King-killing and State-firing Tenets of theirs as they took effect in the Rebellions of Henry the 4. in Germany, persecuting Henry the Emperour with fire and sword, as we may see at large in the Chronicles of Cranzius and Ʋrspergensis, and in Oneale the Irish Rebell against Queene Elizabeth, so also in the French, bearing Armes against Henry the third, deprived of his Crowne by Papall Instigation, as we may see in the book Extant of his just abdication, pag. 262. with such like bloody Pageants, as Paul or Saul the third plaid against our Henry the eighth, and six Popes, namely Gregory the 13. Sixtus the 5. Verban the 7. Gregory the 14. Innocent the 9. and Clemens the 9. against Henry the 4. of France ere they butchered him, and nine Popes even Paul the 4. Pius the 4. Pius the 5. Gregory the 13. Sixtus the 5. Verban the 7. and the 9. Ʋnclement Clemens, and the 9. Nocent, Innocent, against our Albions Eliza, all whose spleens she out-lived.

Fourthly, what Scotch or Genevean Presbyter, ever approved or applauded the base and bloody acts of any Traytor against his legall King, as Pope Xistus the fift in a solemne Oration amongst his Cardinalls, Anno 1589. hiperbolically extolled Jaques Clement assassinating the French Henry, as may be seen in the printed pa­ges, pag. 3. 5. 8. 9. 10. equalizing his fact with the acts of Ehud, Ju­dith, Harmolaus, Timoleon, Brutus, and other Patriots, who rid their Countries of Tyrants, as King Edgar rid England of Wolves.

Fiftly, when did the whole Sanedrim of Protestant Patriots in any Country, or all the united Classes of Presbyterians ever assume unto themselves these more then humane Titles and prero­gatives, which are given to the Pope and his Hierarchy by Bertach in his Repertory, part 4. in dict. Papa, by Bozius in the nature and rights of the Church, lib. 5. cap. 10. pag. 476. by Muscovius in his Majesty of the Militant Church, lib. 1. cap. 1. pag. 26. and by the extant Ceremonies of the Church, lib. 1. sect. 5. pag. 4. fol. 61. chief­ly when did they ever assume to themselves that power which the Canonists and Clawbacks give even in temporalls, besides spiritu­alls, unto their Antichristian Popes, as to be the heads over all the Kings of England, France, Ireland, Spaine, Denmark, Portugall, Scicily, Suevia, Arragon, Naples, Hungary, Russia, Croatia, Dalma­tia, yea over all Nations and Potentates, deposing whom and when they please, and disposing their Crownes and Diadems [Page 15]spurning them off as with their feet, as they dealt with Leo the third, Otho the first, Frederick the first, Childerick of France and others.

Sixthly, when was ever any such Luciferian Doctrine broached that any Patriot or a whole Senate of them, and a Colledge of Presbyters in translating Empires, as Zachary did the Empire of Greece to the Tutonicks, as though their Hierarchy being but the first begotten of the Devill, as Polycarpus called Marcion, should out-vie the brag of their father in disposing the Kingdomes of the earth, Mat. 4.9. to those that would worship the beast in a grea­ter Papall pride, then ever was read of in Alexander, Clitus, Do­mitian, Cosroes, Herod, Sapho, Hanno, and others affecting Deities.

Seventhly, what pen from Patriot or Presbyter ever justified the bold and bloody intrenchments and usurpations of any spirituall person above secular powers, about which Parsons hath drawne his steeled and rapier-like pricking pen in his Dolman, part 2. pag. 62. Bellarmine de Pontifice l. 5. c. 6. & 7. and Allen in his extant Letter to Sir William Stanley, with the rest of their Proctors and Factors.

Eighthly, though the Patriots and Presbyters attribute very much to those whom the people, as in a conglobed body, choose to be their Tribunes for them in Parliaments, as I have noted from Civillians, as namely, to stand for their Freedomes and legall Priviledges; 2. For their Proprieties, not to be spunged nor squeezed, nor ought reav'd from them, as once Elies sonnes by flesh-hookes, 1 Sam. [...]. as also against Caterpillars, and Monopolizing Officers, and all that should invade their civill Right, or exhaust ought from them, more then should be given according to the Custome in Spaine, in a Parliamentary way, as Auxiliaries to their Customes and Crown-Revenues, as also to see that State-vipers be not hugged in the bosomes of Kings, chiefly such as should so farre poison regall ears that Law-makers may be so farre Law-breakers to doe what they list, when and with whom they list, yet they teach not with Bel­larmine in his Romane Pompifex, lib. 2. cap. 7. & de Clericis, cap. 2. that Kings have no authority from God, and from his Law, but from the Law of nature, and that their power is so immediately in and from the multitude as in the proper Subject, that the people may make a King, which otherwaies should be no King, but as a private man, as he depresseth Regality under this maine and ma­ny headed beast, in his bookes of Laicks, lib. 4 cap. 6. and of Coun­cells, [Page 16]lib. 2. cap. 19. yea so farre doth vassalize them under a Plebeian yoke, that if such a King degenerate to be a Tyrant, that is, in his sense a Protestant, à populo posse deponi & eligi alium, the people may depose him and choose another, as though all the Hive should rise against the Master Bee, and throw him out of Platoes Com­mon-wealth, yea saith Gregory de Valentia, tom. 3. disp. 2.9.12. punct. 2. Si crimen Heresis ita sit notoria, if his Heresie (that is still the pro­fession of the Orthodox truth) be so palpable that it cannot be concealed, that is to reject a Masse as a Masse of corruption, which was the Heresie of Henry the 8. Edward the 6. Queen Elizabeth and King James, and hold the Papall Hierarchy is (it's by so many lear­ned pens) to be Antichrist, then ante Judicis sententiam, before any publike Judicature, subditi licitè possunt negare obsequium, his Sub­jects may lawfully deny their obedience, yea as proceeding à malo ad pejus, from evill to worse, from Potentialls to Injunctions, omne operam dare debent subditi, saith Saunders in his visible Monarchy, lib. 2. cap. 4. his Subjects must bestirre themselves like Bees to peerk another presently into his place. Indeed Mariana de Rege, c. 6. p. 59. & 60. though his booke was burnt in Paris for his good Divinity, with more cause then Pareus, pausing as it were, a little leisurely; he would have this Hereticall Prince first to be warned, à Comitiis Regni, of the Patriots of a Kingdome, but if he be as Origen was once called Adamantinus, and as Luther of a resolute and ada­mantine spirit, that he is grounded in his opinion, then in ejus per­sonam licet quicquam attentare, like a hunted Wolfe or wild Boare, any may knock him in the head, any sturdy Rogue like the Italian Bandetti, may be his assassinate, yea and be renowned for the act as a second Codrus or Junior Brutus, and be registred in red Let­ters as a Saint in the Romane Rubrick, with S. Faux, S. Ravillack, S. Garnet, as if S. Cain, S. Judas, S. Job, as many spurs and encourage­ments are put to the speed of the zealous Amorettoes of the Scarlet Whore to vindicate her in this kind, as many may ponder them with amazement from the porcupined pens of Squarez in his Defence of the Faith, l. 6. c. 4. sect. 14. of Santarellus in his Tractate of Schisme, of Mariana in his book de Rege, l. 1. & 6. of Eudemon, or Cacodemon, ali-as Andra in his Apologie for Garnet, of Ange­rius in his Pedagogue of weapons, of Martin Becan in his Theo­logicall Sins, and of Arturus in his Books of the Church, it being a Scythian cruelty thinks the roaking Raven Mariana in his booke alledged, l. 1. c. 6. p. 58. for a private man not to right his Father [Page 17]and Mother grossely wronged, much more to neglect his Conn­trey and his common Mother the Common-wealth in such a case as this, though non vox hominem sonat O Demon certè, not the voice of a man, but of a Devill is roaring in his pen terribly as in a Pump, in such noises as were never heard in the Colledges at Eden­borough, Glascow, and Aberden, nor in the Churches of Geneva, nor in that Synod in Westminster, much lesse in the Senate, Thames and Twede were never so poisoned and polluted with black inke, like the black scum which the fish Scylapendra casts from her to trouble the waters, much lesse stained with red inke from the Basilicall veines of Kings, who stood for the Arke of Religion, or to throw downe the Dagon of Idolatry, or Superstition; in such postures as every regalized Gideon, Protestant Josias, and zealous Zerubbabel ought to be, that aimes at the glory of Christ Crowne, and the splendor and safety of his own Crown.

Ninthly, as reflexing a little further on what I have touched, when did ever any Protestant, Patritian, or Presbyter, spurre up a­ny Traytors to ride from Tiber to Tiburne by their encomiums and commendations, extolling old and new Patricides as much as Cardan did his Nero, and Catiline or Carolus Scribanius in his Am­phitheater of Honours, John Guiner the French Traytor, cap. 12. expostulating with his Popes why they will send forth no more such Timoleons, Dions, and Philopoemens as he was to rid France of her Tarquins, Dionisians, Machamdams, Aristotemists, and such like seculorum portentia, men Monsters, as his Pope Rhetorick stiles them: Campian also the Popes Champion, Brastow, Saunders, and others as much extolling Penniman, Bishop Holtthrop, and o­ther such Catilnarians as ever Hercules was for quelling Cacus, Cerberus, Hidra, Meleager for killing the Calidonian Boare, our S. George in Helyn, Warwicks Guy, or Bevis of Hampton, for sub­dning Dragons, Lions, Gyants, and Monsters.

Tenthly, when and where did any of our Senators and Synods disgorge such King-quelling and Church and State-firing Positions rightly poized and parallell'd as Bellarmine in his fift booke of his Pope, and his third book against Barklay, and in his Tractate of the office of a Prince, and Turrian in his first book, and third Chap­ter of the Church, and Becan in his Theologie, part 2. cap. 3. tract. 1. chiefly Swarez most of Square in the Defence (or rather Offence) of the Faith, lib. 3. cap. 17. sect. 18. cap. 23. sect. 18.20. lib. 45. cap. 16. sect. 1. l. 16. c. 16. sect. 16. to whose perusalls I refer my Intelligent Reader. [Page 16] [...] [Page 17] [...] [Page 16] [...] [Page 17] [...]

Eleventhly, to come from Lightning and Thunder to Bolts, from their Positions bad and bloody enough to their worse practi­ses, as they say of Cockatrices, Foxes, Wolves, and all kind of Ser­pents, as of some Zelanders, that crescunt nequitia simul acerescente senecta, that they grow à malo ad pejus, ever worse and worse, pe­jores aves aetas tulit, they being now birds of a more bloody fea­ther then their predecessors, as we feele bleeding experiments by their combustions in England and Ireland, being all of them now borne as it were, with teeth, as was said of Cham or Zoroastes: And a little to grapple with them as clasped ships, and spur with these spurred Cocks, when did ever any ancient or moderne Presbyters called Puritans, by their tongues, pates, pens, agitations factious fractions, raise such warres amongst and against Princes, kindle such jarres in Cities, States, Kingdomes and Countreyes, as Tibers Jesuites have done in France, Italy, Germany of late, and the Palatinate, as also Moravia, Bohemia, Lions, Paris, Merindoll, Calabria, in the times of Iohn de Roma and Minerius, as also in Poland, Anno, 1591. in Belgia, Anno, 2584. 1594. 1598. in Mus­covy, Transilvania, the Dutchesse of Austria, the Marquisate of Si­lesia, Anno, 1608. 1009. as appeares by the Chronicles of these States, as also of the Belgicks, tom. 1. 519. as also in Constanti­nople, Anno Dom. 1627. 1628. and of their like bloody and boiste­rous Pageants, let the judicious see them Anatomized fully by Pelargus in his Preface to his Jesuitisme, by our Omerod in his picture of a Papist, by Gregory. Hieromonachus de Fraude Iesuitaram, of the frauds of the Jesuites by a booke extant, de turbis Iesuitarum in O­riente, of the troubles of the Jesuites in the East, by Pope Ʋrban the 8. especially in his Bull printed against them, and by the Je­suites Catechisme, composed by their Priests, who best studied them, pag. 430. ad pag. 528. by Watson also in his Quodlibets, and divers others so unripping their Fardells, that all that will open their hood-winkt eyes may see, that non cum Iesu itis, itis si cum Iesuitis, in faith, in fact, who with a Jesuite doe run, they crosse way run from Jesus quite, answering their names no more then bloody Antiochus called Epiphanes, or then Zacheus before his con­version, or Judas to be the praise of God, or that Theophilus who was Origens great enemy, or that Bencocas in the daies of Adrian a great Impostor like them, described by Eusebius, Hist. l. 2. c. 28. & l. 4. c. 7. proved Bencosba the son of lying, yea no more answering their names, then that Pseudo-Mastapha in Lanclavins his Annalls [Page 19]pag. 34. and that Pseudo-Alexander in Josephus his Warres, l. 2. c. 5. and that counterfeit Nero in Tacitus, Hist. l. 18. p. 58. and that counterfeit Wooldemar in Marchia, in Peucers Chronicles lib. 5. pag. 60. or that counterfeit Agrippa in Cuspiman, in Tiberio, p. 13. or that artifizing Smerdis in Persia in Justin, pag. 26. or that subor­ned Parkins and Lambert in Henry the 7. time, in our owne Chro­nicles, and in Cambdens Remaines, pag. 241. were reall Kings, whose parts they Histrionically acted on bloody Stages, like our Jesuites, though they were but base Peasants, as farre from Princes as our pride-puft Plebeians from gifted and called Preachers; these be­ing indeed (and not our Presbyterian Puritans, or Patriots) as all just pens have branded them, Cathedrae Pestilentiae, the Chaires of Pestilence, the Turrets of Heresies, the Pandoraes Box of Church-diseases, the fatall Palladiun filled full of Treasons, the chiefe Panders and Bawdes of the Scarlet Whore, the Academies of Im­pieties, the Assassinates of Kings, poisoners of Kingdomes, over­throwers of Cities, Incendiaries of States, Legates for Satan, A­gents for Hell, Opposites to Heaven, and the very Phaetons of the world; which to demonstrate more then Mathematically, as we have traced the case with them abroad, so we might joyne issues with them at home in nearer discussions, and so it will appeare luce clarius as evident as the light, that the firebrands of sedition, and the greatest Antagonists to the safeties of our English Cae­sars, have been ever Jesuitized Romanists hugged in the brests of some States, as vipers in their bosomes, and growing up by them as Elder Trees in walls to their subversion, and bringing downe even by such a blind and bloody zeale, as by a Hotch-potch Toleration, and by a Liberty, such Libertines as the late destructive Belgick Fa­milists would againe plant amongst us, as legally as the Jewes with their Thalmud, and Turkes with their Alcoran; such as these will appeare to be those that have been, are, and will be not onely the disturbers, but destroyers of our Israel, and not those that are as unjustly taxed and traduced for such factious and seditious Incen­diaries, as once Elias was branded by Ahab, 1 King. 18.17. and Paul by Tertullus to be a pestilent fellow, a mover and Ringleader of sedition, Acts 24.5: I know well, that all these sanguinolent commotions writ with bloody inke by Sleidan in his Historie, lib. 22, & 28. by Ostander in his Epitomized Centuries, Cent. 16. p. 626. Cuspinian in his Gallican Church, p. 625. Ferres in his Historie, p. 588. and by Chitraeus in his Chronicles, p. 71. are laid upon Calvinists, [Page 18] [...] [Page 19] [...] [Page 20]on new Resormers, and new Reformation, even as Satans Master­piece the Powder plot, had it taken effect, had been malignantly fathered upon the Puritans, I know also that sanguinolent rustick warre in Germany for the time and manner exceeding in cruelty, and destruction, any faction that I have read either in France, Anno, 1335. or Venice, 1310. or in Austria, 1456. or in Vienna by the Plebeians against the Senate, Anno, 1462. or in Padua, Florence, Millaine, Parma, Genoa, or elsewhere, as it's tragically penned by Munster in his Cosmography, Sleidan la Gast, and Hondorssius in his Theater, fol. 358. as it was more tragically acted by John a Leiden, and his Familists: I say I know this is laid upon the ridged Luthe­rians, as the fomenters of it, and Ring-leaders in it, but they may as well tax them, for all these commotions made by the Begards and Beguines in Germany in Charles the 5. time, or by the naked Adamites in Bohemia, or by the Fratricells in Bergomas his Chro­nicle, lib. 19. or by Dulcinus and Margeret, Anno, 1308. and their Anabaptists in Platina, and in the Sums of Counsells, or by the Crucigerians, with the Banner of their bloodie Crosse, so patheti­cally bleeding yet, in Tholosanus his Common-wealth, l. 13. c. 8. from pag. 912. to 920. as also cap. 13. pag. 440. & cap. 19. pag. 974. yea as justly may all these troubles and shakings of our Church and State now, by our new Seekers for the man in the Moon, and Sha­kers, be taken from the right Davusses, and heriticall blasphemous white Devills turned Angells, and be laid on our Orthodox Divines which cast on the waters of the Sanctuaries on their wildfires, from Styx and Avernus as to tax Protestants with the Belgick blood shed by Anabaptists, against whom we know how solidly and vehemently Calvin and Bullinger hath writ, as also how Luther hath zealously declaimed, hath Munster the Pseudo-Prophet of these sanguinolent Anabaptists, and declared himselfe against these Enthusiasts, as freely as ever Augustine against the Donatists, Cyprian against the Novatians, Epiphanius against our inspired Gno­sticks, and our London Ministers, yea M. Edwards himselfe in his Gangraena and Anti-Toleration, against our Mushrump Preachers, and in most points blasphemous Heresiarkes, withall it's well knowne, that not onely D. Baeson in his learned Tract de Obedientia, of Obedience, and D. Hackwell in his Scutum Regale, his Buckler for Kings, and D. Morton mauling Bellarmines Prince, Antichri­stianly if not Machavilianly drawne, but many more both sound heads and honest hearts have prescribed all legall obedience unto [Page 21]Kings, us (que) ad Aras, so farre as Casar doth not intrench upon Gods part and prerogative, nor on the publike good of his people, for whom he is placed a Sheepheard to protect them and feed them, not a Wolfe in sheeps cloathing to pluck them nor feed on them; it's my hope and desire that all may be satfsfied with these Parallels betwixt Twede and Tyber, which our owne experiments tell us spawned so many Traytors even in Queen Elezabeths time, as Yorke, Squire, Babington, Tichburn, Parry, Lopus that Lupus, and more then a good many others, for Tiburne, as their marchings thi­ther in the rode and broad way of Treason were directed and en­couraged by Cardinall Allen, Cardinall Como, Parkins, Creswell, and other Incendiaries, Factors for Hell, and actors for the Papall Hierarchy, compounded of lying equivocation, forgery, humane policy, Machavilian plots, hell-hatched stratagems, and all the powers of darknesse to exalt it selfe above Christ his Kingdome, his Ordinances, his Word, his Will, his Worship, and whoever is called a Terrestriall God, in trampling upon all Scepters terrestri­all to exalt one Miter with a triple Crowne, spirituall, temporall, and infernall; from all which exorbitances how farre all true Pro­testants differ, (once nick-named Puritans, as Christ was called a Galilaean, and Athanasius once Sathanasius) let any judge, that are not drunk with Romish dregs, French philters, or halfe poisoned with Iatalian Ficoes, and he shall with an unpartiall eye see as much discrepance betwixt Protestants, Patriots, and Patricidians, as Sci­boleth and Shiboleth made betwixt Ephraimites and Giliadites, and as Civilians make betwixt errours in Regality, and terrors in Tyranny.
