A Reproof to those Church Men or Ministers that Refused to Rea● the KINGS most Gracious Declaration . By Elizabeth R●ne , a Sweet Singer of Israel . IS this the Honour that you give the KING , That you should Dirt upon His Mercy fling , By doing contrary to his Command , And thereby make Divisions in His Land ? Should not you be Ensamples to the Flock ? But you are apter at the Truth to mock : And then hand Papers to excuse your selves , Which yet has render'd you seditious Elves ; But you would fain draw the Dissenters in , To be partakers of your stubborn Sin ; Thô formerly you did them stubborn call , And in your Pulpits at them loud did baul ; Nay more than that , you Robbed many a one ; And under your oppressions made them groan , Because they could not in their Conscience find That they could be obedient to your mind Or will , in doing things you did require , And so past through your persecuting Fire ; Being Counted Fools and Mad-men for that thing , And set down by you Rebels to the KING : And now in Equitie I do allow , That they may Laugh , and say , Who 's the Fool now ? Or who 's the Rebel , that would not obey His Majesty , in such a Blessed Way , In making Peace amongst his Subjects all , And setting every Conscience out of thrall ? Go to , O all ye blind , and be more wise ; For you are both too peevish and precise : For to deny your duty in that thing , Whereby to anger such a gracious KING : For where his Word is , there should be true Power ; And Subjects ought not on his Laws to lowre ; Especially when they are Just and Good , They ought by no man then to be withstood . What is your own Coat rent ? Are you divided ? That some of you will not by Him be guided Whom you do say , in the next place to God , Should bear the Sword , and next to Christ the Rod . Look for severe Rebukes ; for you have done Despight to him that is next to God's Son : If you lose nothing but your Place , it 's well , That dare unto so good a King to tell His Actions are Illegal ; though 't is plain His Justice is the Glory of His Reign . Him God Exalted hath for this great Work : His Light shall shine before both Jew and Turk : When your late disobedient Act shall stink ; And what you Brew , you shall be sure to Drink . Your Brethren that Obeyed , be commended ; And for the future , shall be much befriended : When all shall see , to your encrease of pain , That with true Love you cannot Live nor Reign . This I do write , that cannot lye nor faine : I know your borrowed Lights are in the Wane . Vale .
