YOU can't but be sensible of the great Zeal I have had for King and Kingdom , but more especially for the Church of England , it being the Purest Religion in the World , and most agreeable to the Divine Nature , and it was no less than GOD Himself that planted it by such a Miraculous Power , that it confounded the very Angels , changing Humanily into Divinity ; and this could not be obtained without Christ's sacrifising himself to appease the Wrath of an Angry God , that through him Mortals might be capable of a Divine Being : Therefore all that intend to be saved by Christ , are obliged to yield obedience to his Commands : And therefore I would intreat you seriously to consider the Mighty Occasion that calls you hither ( the like has not been known for these many Ages ) and if God does not give you Wisdom , you will wound instead of curing , and hasten our Ruin ; for I must needs tell you , that it is contrary to the Principles of your Religion , To do Evil that Good may come on it : But God may wink at this if you proceed no farther , because he knows that you are but Men , and that you had reason for what you did ; yet if I had known of it , it should never have been done : for God is glorified by the Faith and Patience of his Saints , and it has been the Practice of Christians in all Ages to trust God , and to be willing to sacrifise their Lives and Fortunes for his Truth ; and I must needs say , My Lords , that most of you have done so too : for if God had given the King Victory , in what a Condition would you have been , by running your selves into imminent dang●r , and disgraced your Religion , in not going the Right War ; but God suffered it to prosper , because the Roman Catholicks should not attribute their Victory to the Virgin Mary . But this must not incourage your Lordships to make False steps , for if God overturned the King for not walking uprightly before him , how much more will he do the Kingdom , if that you should prove unkind or ungrateful to the King ? Though I would not be like the Ass to assist the Lion , and then be made a Prey of , nor yet the Fox that delights to see the Lion in trouble ; but I would be like the good Samaritan , that heal'd the Wounds by pouring Oil and Wine into them . For I would have all Occasions of Fears and Jealousies to be removed on every side , which His Majesty might have done , if he had pleased ; for I told him the Find at the Beginning , but he would not believe ; have a care that you are not Unbelievers too : for I never sought any thing but the King and Kingdoms Happiness ; neither do I desire to have any greater glory in this World , than to have you safe and happy , which you all conclude will be in this Way which you have taken : but you will be deceived if you be not wise . Not that I would have you be ungrateful to the Prinee , nor yet in Slavery ; but as you are Free-born , you should keep your selves so : for it was his own Interest that brought him hither as well as yours , and it is but reason that he should have Right done in that Matter ; for no body can condemn him for looking after the Right of his Wife : but all the World will highly condemn you to give , or he to receive , the Right of the King ; and you must not think to go unpunished : for why should not God be as zealous for his Laws , as Man is for his ; and so exclude you out of his Kingdom , as you do the King out of his . Besides I don't think the Prince has so much to say against the King , as the People supposes ; but if there were , God can pardon them upon repentance and amendment ; for he has declared , That if your s●n● be as scarlet , he 'll wash you as white as snow . Therefore take not any thing away from the King , only free his Kingdoms from Popery , and let not that have any Dominion : And treat the Prince as a Friend and Great Instrument in assisting towards the Doing of this Great Work ; and whatever Good you receive by him , restore it ten-fold in assisting him with your Lives and Fortunes against France , and I don't doubt but by Gods Blessing , you will Conquer and Subdue it ; [ and from thence to Rome : ] for I have a great desire to see the French King , having Fasted Fourteen Days that he should not Conquer us : Therefore fear not his Mighty Army , for God will give you Victory , but make hast and do it ; for Gods Hand as well as this Kingdoms will be against it . And in so doing , you will make the Prince Famous through the World ; and You by your Wisdom , Justice and Goodness , may be Instrumental to Convince the Roman Catholicks of their Errors ; and so in the End obtain a Universal Peace , which will be Your Eternal Glory not only in this World , but in That to come : Which that the Lord may give you Wisdom to obtain , is the Prayer of .
