<L>Who&s;e doctrine made our Engli&s;h royall State</L>

<DIV2 TYPE="to the reader">
<P>_COurteous Reader, Although this Emblme doth chie&s;ly repre&s;ent the Rigid Presbyterie of <HI>Scotland,</HI> yet it is too apparent, they have many Friends both of the Clergy and Gentry in <HI>England,</HI> that are not behind hand in a&s;&s;i&s;ting them, in their pre&s;ent actings, and for &s;o much as concernes our pre&s;ent occa&s;ion, I &s;hall briefly cite Mr. <HI>Lilie's</HI> words expre&s;&s;ed in his A&s;trologicall predictions this pre&s;ent yeare, 1651. wherein he ingeniou&s;ly confe&s;&s;eth, he hath no malice, either to Presbyterian or Malignant, except they di&s;turb our quiet, and mole&s;t our pre&s;ent Government and Councell of State; but in the &s;econd page of his booke, he de&s;cribs the Parliament of <HI>England's</HI> perfectionall figure, for the 11. yeare of their &s;itting, from which he concludes the Genuine &s;en&s;e of that quadrant a&s;pect, runns thus, or doth &s;ignifie in effect thus, that our pre&s;ent &s;tate &s;hall be &s;till, a great part of this yeare dangerou&s;ly mole&s;ted and pe&s;tered by a refractorie people of their owne, called a Scotified Clergy, a generation of men from whom both the Spirit of Truth, and the meeke Spirit of obedience, due by the Lawes of God unto their Superiors is departed: certainly the&s;e men doe our Parliament more mi&s;chiefe, and whole Nation moe pre|judice, then an Army of Forraigne Forces would doe, let God reward them according to their iniquity; from the &s;econd figure, he concludes, that the pre&s;ent power or Coun&s;ell of State &s;hall &s;tand firme, and &s;hall not be di&s;&s;olved, by any earthly power, worldly force or treacherie, during this annuall re&s;olution. Ob&s;erve this al&s;o, <HI>viz.</HI> That forty yeares were the Engli&s;h under the government of two Scotti&s;h Kings, even ju&s;t as many yeares as the Children of <HI>I&s;rael</HI> did wander in the Wilderne&s;&s;e before they came unto re&s;t, God hath now delivered us from that &s;ervitude, and wee are very neere entring into the Land of <HI>Canaan, viz.</HI> liberty, if we repine not at Gods mercies, nor rebell again&s;t his authority, wee &s;hall a&s;&s;u|redly enjoy it.</P>
<P N="2">2 The grand cau&s;e of the Scots being at variance and enmity with us, is our change of government, and why may not <HI>England</HI> change againe a third and a fourth time, if they &s;ee good, and aske <HI>Scotland</HI> no leave, it being a right in all Nations to alter their govern|ment, for the publique benefit; <HI>Scotland</HI> may take notice, how long they were in former times without a King, and how little power they afforded him, certainely it was their antient cu&s;tome, to hold his No&s;e to it, with the Bridle both of Kirke and State, &s;o that this is no new or &s;trange Embleme of them; the difference betwixt them is this, that wee having ca&s;t off their King, it is their de&s;igne to &s;ettle him upon us againe, by force, they proclaimed him King of Great <HI>Brittaine,</HI> &amp;c. But wee have more rea&s;on to breake the line of &s;ucce&s;&s;ion, made up of tyranny, cruelty and oppre&s;&s;ion: The <HI>Norman</HI> ba&s;tard the Father of them all, had no other title to the Crowne but his long &s;word, by which he became Conquerour again&s;t the Lawes and liberties of <HI>England,</HI> and after him proceded his Sonnes, and their Succe&s;&s;ors obtained the Crowne, one from another, by power and policie, till the time of <HI>Henry</HI> the &s;eventh, who laid claime to it by the &s;ame title al&s;o, of Conque&s;t, after he had &s;laine <HI>Richard</HI> the third, &s;ave that he de&s;cended from a Ba&s;tard of <HI>John</HI> of <HI>Ga<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="faint" EXTENT="1 letter">nt,</HI> and from this King, did our late Tyrant King CHARLES derive his title, he being de&s;cended from a Daughter of that <HI>Henry</HI> married into <HI>Scotland,</HI> by vertue whereof his Father K. <HI>James,</HI> by the unhappy policie of &s;ome Courtiers, did obtaine the Crowne, who was then attended with a heavy cur&s;e, and terrible plague, into <HI>England,</HI> if it were no more but the weake and unju&s;t title of the u&s;urping pretenders, the Engli&s;h Nation have &s;ufficient cau&s;e to ca&s;t off this accur&s;ed Monarchie, but which is more, through all their reigne hath been exerci&s;ed, a con&s;tant cour&s;e of tyranny, for not one of them &s;ince <HI>William</HI> the Conquerour, but did exceedingly abu&s;e, and en&s;lave the people, as the Chronicle makes mention: So that it was nobly done of our Parliament to lay hold on a &s;ea&s;on of liberty, after the Nation had groaned under &s;laverie, for five or &s;ix hundred yeares. Suppo&s;e the title of this young King had been good and right, hath not the Fathers trea&s;on cut off the Sonne? hath he not from the beginning been in actuall warre again&s;t the Parliament? hath he not had his Fathers Coun&s;ellours, and principles? and hath he not been bred up under poperie and prelacie, and hath had hand in the blood of the three Nations, making u&s;e of all Parties, to &s;erve his owne malicious ends and intere&s;t, and are not <HI>Englands</HI> eyes yet open, to &s;ee what will be the &s;ad condion, and wofull effects of it? If they &s;hould be &s;o ba&s;e &s;pirited, as to &s;uffer this young pretender to take rooting againe, to bring them back into &s;laverie, and Monarchcall bondage, a yoake too heavy for <HI>Englands</HI> &s;houlders to beare.</P>
<P>I wil conclude with an old Prophe&s;ie of a Je&s;uite in <HI>Hen. VII.</HI> time, of all the Kings and Queens that &s;hould &s;ucceed in <HI>England;</HI> thus, <HI>Mars, Puer, Alecto, Virgo, Vulpes, Leo, Nallus.</HI> The Engli&s;h of it is this, <HI>Mars</HI> the God of war, <HI>Hen.</HI> 8. <HI>Puer,</HI> a Boy, <HI>Edward</HI> the 6. <HI>Alect<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="faint" EXTENT="1 letter">,</HI> a Fury, Queene <HI>Mary, Virgo,</HI> a maiden Queen <HI>Elizabeth, Vulper,</HI> a Fox King <HI>James, Leo</HI> a Lyon King <HI>Charles, Nullus,</HI> None.</P>
