IT
is
an
approved
ancient
truth
that
all
good
Subjects
should
speke
nothing
of
Kings
and
Princes
,
but
that
which
is
honourable
,
and
sutable
to
their
great
power
and
Authoritie
,
wherein
they
beare
the
impresse
and
image
of
God
himselfe
,
all
language
derogating
from
the
Omnipotencie
of
God
is
blasphemy
,
which
signifies
a
hurting
of
His
Honour
and
Glory
,
whereof
he
is
jealous
,
and
will
not
have
it
communicated
to
his
creatures
,
but
solely
attributed
to
his
Majesty
;
what
therefore
can
more
exasperate
a
King
then
that
a
multitude
of
men
,
and
those
of
the
common
sort
,
who
behold
nothing
with
any
cleere
judgement
,
should
blast
the
Kings
reputation
with
foule
aspersions
,
weaknesse
in
being
seduced
by
evill
counsellors
,
and
besides
casting
all
their
affections
,
on
some
who
under
pretence
of
religion
would
not
be
obliged
to
shew
any
obedience
to
any
temporall
power
,
but
would
dissolue
Monarchicall
govevrnment
into
a
loose
freedome
of
Christian
liberty
.
If
they
know
not
through
blindnesse
of
absurd
opinions
to
speake
well
of
Kings
,
let
them
consider
that
they
are
Gods
Vicegerents
,
the
Fathers
of
their
Country
,
laying
open
their
hearts
to
their
Subjects
,
as
a
Father
doth
to
his
Sonne
;
and
thus
our
gracious
Soveraigne
King
Charles
hath
by
Messages
and
declarations
with
much
grief
of
minde
shewed
his
intentions
,
advised
them
to
desist
from
contrary
courses
,
to
his
will
and
pleasure
,
thereby
to
lessen
him
and
diminish
His
royall
Authority
,
derived
unto
him
by
a
long
succession
of
Ancestors
;
but
above
all
he
is
to
be
accounted
the
Father
of
His
Countrey
and
Kingdome
,
forasmuch
as
he
hath
by
Gods
providence
made
this
Kingdome
happy
in
his
Royall
posterity
,
that
so
the
Scepter
from
age
to
age
may
be
still
continued
in
his
generation
amongst
the
rest
by
promogeniture
and
birth-right
the
Prince
hath
the
first
place
,
as
being
by
indubitable
inheritance
the
legitimate
and
lawfull
Heire
to
the
Crowne
,
and
though
he
be
now
in
his
greene
and
unmellowed
yeeres
,
yet
being
of
an
excellent
ingenious
disposition
,
and
his
naturall
gifts
improved
by
a
tender
and
carefull
education
,
he
appeares
by
his
ripenesse
and
forwardnesse
in
vertue
and
knowledge
,
to
be
a
Prince
appointed
to
make
this
Kingdome
happy
,
famous
,
and
illustrious
,
through
the
splendour
of
his
vertues
,
which
shall
hereafter
shine
forth
in
action
;
for
as
Alexander
the
Great
being
under
the
command
of
Tutors
,
was
of
such
a
wise
and
pregnant
nature
,
and
endued
with
such
excellent
and
exquisite
gifts
and
qualities
farre
transcending
his
yeares
,
hee
still
going
on
in
his
Resolution
,
not
fearing
his
Enemies
,
and
so
consquently
is
allyed
(
as
is
due
)
unto
His
Majesties
vertues
aswell
as
His
Kingdome
,
hath
for
His
greater
Honour
and
to
enter
him
into
the
Schoole
of
warre
as
a
young
Souldier
,
is
by
the
Kings
Majestie
,
His
Father
,
made
Generall
of
all
the
Kings
Forces
in
the
North
,
and
with
a
right
Princely
minde
he
is
willing
to
doe
His
Father
any
service
,
and
in
this
pious
,
dutifull
,
and
Noble
course
he
is
resolved
to
proceed
,
not
doubting
but
that
His
filiall
love
to
the
Kings
Majesty
will
be
exceeding
well
taken
,
and
be
very
well
pleasing
to
all
those
loyall
Subjects
that
doe
pray
for
the
prosperity
and
happy
Raigne
of
our
Gracious
Soveraigne
King
Charles
.
For
what
Son
of
any
true
Generous
Blood
would
with
tame
Patience
behold
his
father
ingag'd
in
a
private
quarrell
,
while
he
standing
by
would
not
doe
his
best
to
helpe
him
;
And
hee
being
sorry
that
the
Protestant
Religion
,
wherein
He
hath
bin
brought
up
and
educated
,
should
be
thus
divided
and
rent
in
pieces
by
the
Sectarists
in
a
tumultuous
manner
raving
and
raging
in
this
Kingdome
,
who
make
it
.
Principle
of
their
prophane
rebellious
opinions
,
that
they
ought
not
,
nor
are
bound
by
conscience
jure
divino
,
to
be
subject
to
any
temporall
Power
,
nor
to
the
King
himselfe
;
wherefore
our
Noble
Prince
knowing
that
his
Royall
Father
is
acknowledged
by
just
and
Lawfull
succession
to
bee
our
true
Soveraigne
Lord
and
King
,
And
Defender
of
the
Faith
within
his
Dominions
,
he
is
resolved
to
be
Generall
of
His
Fathers
Army
,
that
so
the
Souldiers
being
encouraged
by
his
daily
presence
and
conversing
amongst
them
,
may
with
their
lives
and
utmost
ebilities
endeavour
to
defend
the
true
Protestant
Religion
.
Neither
doth
Hee
appprehend
the
Parliament
but
as
Friends
and
loyall
Subjects
to
his
Royall
Father
,
knowing
that
by
time
all
descent
and
by
the
generall
consent
of
Parliament
he
must
be
first
enstalled
Prince
of
Wales
,
and
afterward
when
his
Father
shall
after
his
long
and
happy
Raigne
leave
him
his
Crowne
and
Diademe
unto
him
,
it
must
be
confirm'd
on
him
by
his
inauguration
in
Parliament
,
and
therefore
the
goodnesse
of
his
naturall
disposition
,
he
wishes
there
might
be
such
a
complying
and
agreeing
between
His
Majesty
and
Parliament
,
that
he
needed
not
encline
to
any
side
,
but
sure
it
is
Heavens
pleasure
,
that
the
seedes
of
dissention
should
by
the
subtilty
of
some
and
the
malignity
of
others
be
sowed
between
them
,
springing
up
into
a
contentious
brood
of
armed
men
,
and
the
Civill
Warres
threatens
the
ruine
and
destruction
and
destruction
of
this
Kingdome
,
the
Prince
being
admonished
of
the
present
state
of
matters
,
is
resolved
to
spend
His
yovnger
yeares
in
the
defence
of
His
royall
Father
,
knowing
that
by
nature
he
is
engaged
to
maintain
and
defend
him
to
the
utmost
of
his
ability
,
as
being
the
defender
of
the
Protestant
religion
.
