The Loyal REMONSTRANCE .

WHereas some as poor in Spirit as Loyalty , crippled in Judgement as well as Fortune , have in pitifull Metre presumed to shew their lame feet to his Majesty and both Houses , We who are the true Rubbish of Loyal Ruines , would not be raised to offend the Eyes of Authority , though not only made Cripples , but beaten with our Crutches , formerly made bare , to be now exposed to the Lash ; while , by the advantage of our Gold , Idols are reared in High Places ; who like those of the Heathen , would ever want Eyes and Ears , could we alwayes descend to be their Votaries : yet we are content to do penance for being ravished ; who can think every Murmur an Apostasie , which may exceed all Acts of Grace or Oblivion . We never supposed Loyalty Merit , and are so much Protestants , that we cannot believe , either in our Duty to God , or Allegiance to the King , there can be works of Super-erogation ; nor are we troubled , if the Prodigals , at their Return ( who have fed so long on the husks of Error ) are clothed by the Father of our Countrey with the best Coats , ( nay , if even our own ) while we their Elder Brothers in Loyalty go as naked as the Truth we professe , and exposed to as much scorn . If they who came in at the latter end of the day receive their Peny , we complain not with those in the Gospel , though in worse condition , both unrewarded and Penilesse ; Our Eyes have seen the salvation of the Lord , in the Return of a most Gracious KING , and we have assured hope of our Peny , in our own Salvation by the King of Kings . Wanting all things , we have nothing to petition for beside his Honour , and our Princes Safety . Who had no Prayers above the restoring of our King , have now no Desires above a Restoring of the Church , by a Return of the Bishops to their just Votes in Parliament ; humbly conceiving , could they be Excluded in Justice , they might be admitted in Equity ; since these Fathers of the Church may not seem lesse requisite Advisers for the Gospel , then our Judges for the Law , unlesse Religion is the only thing the Great Chuncil is inconcerned in ; or Reverend Learning and Sober Piety , are supposed prejudicial to that Honourable Assembly . Thus Security may be given for the Act of Oblivion , the Blood of our Martyr'd Soveraign and our own , may not seem spilt in vain ; Righteousnesse and Justice may re-attend the Grand Council ; Truth and Peace may re-unite in the Kingdom ; Tumult and Faction may be discountenanced , while the breach is made up , which was an In-let to all the Misery and Confusion which attended Church and State . Thus Episcopacy , the greatest Remedy against Schism prevailing , Knowledge , Moderation , Piety or Power , may convince Error , restore Weaknesse , convert Scandal , curb Sedition , that all may be of one Heart , one Minde , use one Form of Prayer with us , for Kings , and all who are in Authority , &c.
