<HEAD>A Po&s;t&s;cript.</HEAD>
<P>OUt of this briefe Narration may be extracted &s;omewhat for KING, and Commons.</P>
<P>For the KING.</P>
<P>Fir&s;t, for preventing Seditions and Rebellions; then for &s;etling a Kingdome after the Rebellion &s;up|pre&s;t.</P>
<P>For the fir&s;t; That he beware how he entru&s;t the Government of His Kingdome to others. How He &s;uffer His Favourites, and great Officers of State, to &s;uck him into nece&s;&s;ities, and inthrall Him by indi|gency, and be thereby drawne, by extraordinary il|legall Impo&s;itions and Taxes, to vexe and alienate the hearts and affections of His Subjects, and then (as he mu&s;t) be con&s;trained to flie to them for reliefe and coun&s;ell in Parliament; where (he may then be &s;ure) he mu&s;t be Subject to his Subjects, and they will be kings over their King: where he mu&s;t be content to be le&s;&s;e then he &s;hould be, and the Subject will be more: where (he may be &s;ure) they will make ad|vantage of his nece&s;&s;itie, and he mu&s;t undergoe ma|ny hard cen&s;ures, and be vexed with undutifull de|mands, before they will relieve him. But whether they part with their money or not, let the King take heed of ever parting with his Power.</P>
<PB N="32" REF="2">
<P>Then after the heat and heart of a Rebellion be broken, not to be &s;evere again&s;t any, le&s;t the re&s;t grow de&s;perate. Severity may blow up, never blow out, the flames of Rebellion.</P>
<P>Yet to &s;hew &s;ome acts of Ju&s;tice and power as well as grace and mercy; not to u&s;e the extremity of Ju|&s;tice, lea&s;t he thereby renew the pre&s;ent Rebellion; yet to &s;hew <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">ome Ju&s;tice to prevent a future.</P>
<P>By a &s;weet mixture of mercie and ju&s;tice, the King &s;hall at once b<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">th humble and oblige his delinquent Subjects. By mercy, in not taking the rigour of the Law; by Ju&s;tice, in taking a part of the Law: by this, <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">he &s;hall humble them in taking &s;o much; by that he &s;hall oblige them in taking no more.</P>
<P>Next, to take &s;peciall care in rewarding, and che|ri&s;hing, and countenancing, and remembring (before others) all tho&s;e that &s;tuck clo&s;e unto him, that by their per&s;ons, or their pur&s;es, &s;hewed them&s;elves re|ally for him, and, without all fallacie, loyall.</P>
<P>After this to prepare &s;peedily for &s;ome Forraigne Expedition, wherein to imploy all the late Active Spirits, and working heads, who will quickly make worke againe at home, if they have not worke abroad.</P>
<P>La&s;tly, to place &s;ome one (as a Scavenger) in eve|ry Countie, to carry away the dreggs that are left behind. Such as will not beyond Sea, cannot work, and are a&s;hamed to beg.</P>
<P>For the People this.</P>
<P>Fir&s;t, that they &s;uffer not them&s;elves to be abu&s;ed and mi&s;-led into di&s;loyalty, by any ambitious, un|quiet,
<PB N="33" REF="2">cunning Spirits, upon what pretences &s;oever, and when Liberty, Religion, or any publique good is pretended, then mo&s;t of all to &s;u&s;pect their private ends.</P>
<P>Next, that the People never get by this cour&s;e, but often loo&s;e their former ancient Liberties and Priviledges, according to that ob&s;ervable (though not ob&s;erved) <HI>Maxime,</HI> EVERY REBELLI|ON SUPPREST MAKES THE KING MORE KING, AND THE SUBJECT MORE SUBJECT.</P>
<P>La&s;tly, that taking Armes without Soveraigne au|thority, upon what pretences &s;oever (be they never &s;o faire, as for Religion, or Liberty; never &s;o foo|li&s;h, as that it is not again&s;t the King, but for the King) is mo&s;t abominable in the eyes of God, and though it &s;eeme to pro&s;per for a time, yet mo&s;t &s;ure|ly and &s;everely is it puni&s;h<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">d in the end, ending com|monly in a generall impoveri&s;hment (if not in the end) of the people, and &s;ome dreadfull Judgement upon the Contrivers.</P>
<Q><P>My Sonne feare thou the <HI>LORD,</HI> and the King,
<NOTE PLACE="marg"><HI>Prov.</HI> 24. <HI>ver.</HI> 21.22.</NOTE> and med|dle not with them that are given to change:</P>
<P>For their Calamity &s;hall ri&s;e &s;uddenly, and who know|eth the ruine of them both?</P></Q>
