Sermons . and that humane Nature were left to the Conduct of its own Principles and Inclinations — than to be acted by a Religion that — is continually supplanting Government , and undermining the Welfare of Mankind : Such a Religion as teaches Men to propagate and advance it self by Means , so evidently contrary to the very Nature and End of all Religion . And , p. 21. The Doctrine of the Lawfulness of Deposing of Kings , and Subverting Government — is as bad , or worse than Infidelity , and no Religion . How much better Teachers of Religion were the Old Heathen Philosophers ? In all whose Books and Writings , there is not one Principle to be found of Treachery or Rebellion .
But blessed be God , says Dr. Burnet , in his Sermon upon Rom. 13. v. 5. p. 36. Our Church hates and condemns this Doctrine from what Hand soever it come , and hath established the Rights and Authority of Princes on sure and unalterable Foundations ; injoyning an entire Obedience to all the lawful Commands of Authority , and an absolute Submission to that supream Power which God hath put in our Sovereign's hands . This Doctrine we justly glory in ; and if any that had their Educations in our Church , have turned Renegadoes from this , they prove no less Enemies to the Church her self , than to the Civil Authority : So that this Apostacy leaves no Blame on our Church .

The respective Penalties injoyned in the said Proclamation , ( says the Secretary , viz. K. J's Proclamation against plundering and other Irregularities ) are severely and impartially executed on the respective Offenders . My Family tells me that the Week before they left Dublin , there were two private Soldiers publickly executed before a Protestant Baker's Door , for stealing two Loaves not worth a Shilling : And a Fortnight before , a Lieutenant and Ensign were publickly executed at a place , where , on pretence of the King's Service , they prest a Horse going with Provision to Dublin Market : Two others were condemned , and expected daily to be executed for the like Offence . These severe Examples , confirming the Penalties of these publick Declarations , contribute so much to the Quiet of the Country , that were it not for the Country Raparees and Tories , theirs , 't is thought , would be much qui●ter than ours .
The truth is , too many of the English , as well as Dan●s and French , are highly oppressive to this poor Country ; whereas our Enemies have reduced themselves to that Order , that they exercise Violence upon none , but the Proprieties of such as they know to be absent , or as they Phrase it , in Rebellion against them , whose Stock , Goods , and Estates , are seized , and set by the Civil Government , and the Proceed applied for and towards the Charge of the War .

by
that
time
,

are
not

to
fall
on

the
Good

Safety
of

these
Miscreants
may
be
cut

See
that
this
be
put

not

Expecting
you

not
fail
in
the
fulfilling
hereof

you
love

,
I
subscribe
these
with
my
Hand
