but especially by choaking up the aire of his majesties palaces and parks , and endangering the infection , if not the total loss of those waters , which by many expencefull drains and conduits , are conveyed from those fields to his majesties palace at whitehall ; whereof some decay is already perceived by his majesties sergeant-plummer , and more is daily feared : therefore for prevention of such growing mischiefs , whereby his majesties palaces may be greatly annoyed , the houses of the nobility and gentry very much offended , the parishes over-charged , the perfecting of city buildings very much hindred and the health both of city and suburbs exceedingly endangered : his majesty by advice of his privy council , hath thought fit to publish this his royal proclamation , and doth hereby straightly charge and command all manner of persons whom it doth or may concern , that they forbear to erect , or cause to be erected any more new buildings in the suburbs of london or westminster , or to finish any buildings in the said suburbs already begun , without his majesties licence in that behalf , under his great seal first had and obtained : to the end that if any more new buildings be thought fit by his majesty to be carried on , they may be built firmly and regularly , according to such design and order as may best suit with the publick benefit and convenience , as they will answer the contrary at their perils . and if any shall presume to offend against his majesties royal command herein declared , his majesty will cause such buildings to be abased and thrown down , and the persons of such offenders to be arrested and seised , and further proceeded against according to the utmost rigour and severity of law. given at our court at whitehall , the seventh day of april , god save the king . in the savoy , printed by the assigns of john bill , and christopher barker , printers to the kings most excellent majesty , . most reverend father in god we greet you well charles ii, king of england, - . approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

constant rain , and much hardship indured by us and them , reduced as we desired , viz. to mercy being leaders , to years banishment , the rest sent home , the enemy consisting of men of all parts , resolute enough , keeping it even to the last . many were the providences in that work ; for which , admire gods goodnesse . in taking chepstow castle and town , and these other two , in all our long

to our trusty and well-beloved justices of the piece , mayors , sheriffs , bayliffs , constables , church-wardens , and to all other officers as well spiritual as temporal , greeting . whereas we have lately received information by an express from some persons in england , of the unfained desires of our loving subjects to establish us in the royal throne and dignity of our father , and although they acknowledge themselves but few in number , and not so well resolved as to trust us with their names , yet undertake on the behalf of many thousands to make good their proposals to us , conditionally , that we grant and assure unto them their ( as they call them , reasonable and modest ) requests ; whether these mens intentions are just and upright as they pretend , we shall not be much desirous to enquire after : only from hence we take occasion to proclaim to those persons and to all the world , that we are ready to grant to all our subjects ( some very few excepted ) more then they can have the confidence to expect from us : yet let not any rash judgment condemn us for our large offers , as being in so low and forlorn a condition as never any christian prince for many ages hath been ; that we are forward in promises , though intend little performance , we say , were our calamity more heavy upon us ( which can hardly be ) we shall not be drawn by the greatest allurements and advantages to passe our engagement for any thing we are not fully resolved to perform , which being chiefly for the general good and peace of all our subjects , we cannot but hope for a happy success to ensue ; and therefore to proclaim that ( if peaceably receiv'd ) we shall forthwith grant , . a general and free pardon to all ( seven of those only excepted , which were the bloody judges and murderers of the king our father . . that all the armies shall be within six moneths disbanded , if money for their satisfaction can in a parliamentary way be so soon raised , and that they shall have all arrears fully paid them , and months pay over and above to every common souldier , for their better removal and settlement , in their former or better way and place of liuing . . that the armies being so satisfied and disbanded , no souldier shall be continued , but in the ancient garrisons , accustomed on the sea coasts , and that no new army shall be raised , or any fleet , by us set forth to sea upon any occasion whatsoeeer , but by consent of parliament . . that not any of our sub●ects shall be burdened with taxes , excise , free-quartering , or other illegal payments , or pressures , or any oaths imposed , nor any debarred of their liberties , questioned for their lives or estates , for any cause or pretence whatsoever , but by the ancient and known laws of the land , according to magna charta and the petition of right . . that the purchasers of crown lands , and rents , being satisfied their purchase-mony , and interests by the profits thereof , and further payments to their full reimbursements , the said lands and rents may return to the crown again . we being resolved in the mean time to cast our self on the love of our subjects for our fu●ure support . and if the parliament ( that shall next be call'd ) shall not think fit to give us a reparation , and such a competent revenue as we might expect , we have learned , and shall submit ( if there be occasion ) to the condition of the meanest of our predecessors . . that the purchasers of bishops and deans and chapters lands and rents , being in like manner satisfied their purchase-mony , and interest by the profits and further payment , till they be reimbursed , that then the said lands and rents shall be conferred on the clergy and ministry as the next parliament shall ordain . . that as soon as writs can be issued a free and legal parliament shall be summoned , and the priviledges thereof maintained , without any exemption to any person whatsoever , being legally coosen and returned , according to the ancient laws and customs of england in that case provided . . that the parliament shall be desired by us to take care for the settling of the protastant religion , and the publick worship of god ( with liberty for tender consciences ) and for the providing for the ministery in the first place , without which no blessing can be expected upon our government . . that if the parliament shall passe an act of general pardon and if they shall desire those seven persons by us intended to be excluded , shall be included , and giving us satisfactory reasons for the same , we shall concur with them therein . . that the affairs of the land and , our government shall be constantly regulated and managed by parliaments : and that the act for triennial parli●ments shall be by us duly observed . we acknowledge it is very difficult , if not impossible to please all , especially where there are so many divisions , and every man almost of a several mind and opinion : but as we have proposed to our self , so shall we endeavour to give all reasonable satisfaction to all our subjects . and if the actings of the representatives in a free parliament of their own choice can satisfie them , we shall not be wanting in summoning and concurring with them : but if that will not please them , nothing will . now , if these condescentions of ours shall have so much freedome of passage in england , as many a scurrilous and lying pamphlet fly abroad without our control , we are confident that all of understanding , that are not wilfully blinded , or not over-swayed with present self-interest , thereby knowing our large offers , must needs be fully convinced of the amplitude thereof , extending to all their grievances . however , if it shall be instanced wherein we are too short , for we are ready for the good , and peace of the nation , to give large satisfaction , and ample assurance to our most inveterate enemies ; ) we having yeelded to all matters of most importance , shall not stick at lesser things . and if any that have been adherers and assisting to our late royal father and us , shall think we are herein too free , and indulgent to such , and so many open and professed enemies ; and that we have made no provision for our servants , and friends ; we desire them all to consider our own , and also their conditions , and how things now stand in england ; that neither we , nor themselves , can otherwise ( in any probability ) better our selves , unless by a bloody and hazzardous war ; which though we cannot doubt of the lawfullness on our part and consequently a prosperous success , if we shall be necessitated thereto for the recovery of our just right , yet we are assured that the god of peace will rather prosper a peaceable than violent and forceable entrance : and therefore we hope all those our friends , and loving subjects , will rest fully satisfied with that we shall do pursuant to these propositions , we being desirous hereafter to consider their sufferings ( though not comparable to ours ) as god shall enable , and in all just and lawfull ways . and now we wish that all the people of england would remember how they have performed their protestations , oaths , vowes , solemn league and covenant : but to instance in no more than the honour and priviledges of parliament , the foundation of all their laws , which they have so often sworn and vowed to maintain with their lives and fortunes : what face of a parliament they have now left , which should consist of three estates , king , house of peers , and house of commons : the two first wholly destroyed : and what of the last is in being ( not to mention at least that at the beginning of the wars left them and went to oxford ) when a considerable number of their own party protested against their proceedings , and discerted the house ; how many imprisoned , and what great numbers by force expulsed by that late bloody and hypocritical usurper , which actions of his ( though they were a main step to his intended throne and tyrannical government ) yet are so well relished , by that tail of a parliament remaining , that they are resolved neither to readmit the persons so illegally and injuriously expelled , not to fill up the voyd places of any removed or dead : so that in a few years , what by death and new expulsion , they may reduce themselves to the number of those infamous tyrants of athens , and if they can establish themselves by their designed militia , and that they may thereby be able to command their now masters , the sword-men , and cashire them , they will moddle such a new army as shall be in subjection to them , and then vote themselves , their sons , and nephews , a parliament for ever . let those that have generous english spirits seriously consider into what a laborinth of woe and misery they have run themselves and now lye under ; what a confusion there is in church and state ; that what hath been gotten by blood and rapine , must be so upheld ; the govetnment these usurpers would settle , not being to be maintained , but by continual armies and navies , and the support of these must be taxes , excise , free-quarterings , and chargeable militia's , and other unsupportable burdens to perpetuity . now let the whole nation beg and implore a blessing from the father of mercies , and let them all be of one heart and one mind , to free themselves of these iron yokes and heavy pressures , and joyn and concurre with us , in establishing a peaceable government , to the great joy and happiness of the honest and true-hearted , and to the advancement of the true protestant religion and gods glory . given under our hand , brussels octob. . s. n. . antwerp , published by his majesties special command , and printed cum privilegio . right trusty and welbeloved we greet you & well charles ii, king of england, - . approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

and that for his own part , he had a deep sense of this great and national affair , having just grounds of dissatisfaction , and that he could not comply with any , who should refuse , or seem dubious , to stand or adhere to a warrantable concurrence : his undertakings being such , that the candour of his heart bore him testimony and evidence of the justness of his cause ; and that he ought not to violate the authority of parliaments , whose legislative power and freedom ▪ every individual member were bound to assert and maintain , after such solemn assurances of faithfulness and obedience ; and to assert the honour and integrity of such noble patriots , who for many years had undergone a labyrinth of troubles , and stood even in the very gap and gulph of the ruines , desolations , and miseries , that for many yeaars threatned these distracted , divided , and bleeding nations . proclamation being thus made by sound of trumpet , the army drew off in a regimental way from hadington towards berwick , where general monck caused a declaration to be published , intimating ▪ the integrity of his heart , and the sincerity of his cau e ; that he held a detestation of that horrid impiety , to raise himself by the ruine of others , that he was none of tho e that sought great things to himself : that he was forced with the parliaments army under his command , to bear testimony against the violence of those , who shall endeavour an absolute extirpation of the peoples rights and priviledges , and that he is resolved to use the utmost of his endeavours , to remove the late force put upon the parliament members : that no means shall be left by him unassayed , for preservation of the peace of the commonwealth , in obedience to the parliament ; taking god to witness , the integrity of his present design and intentions , and that he abhors the very thoughts of introducing any arbitrary power , being resolved to spend his blood in opposition to any single person whatsoever : that he doubts not but the justness of his cause will crown his endeavours , being resolved to leave the successe to the most high , and to hazard all for the glory of god , and the good of his people . upon his departure from edenbrough , an engagement was tender'd to the assembly of lords and gentlemen , which they subscribed ; assuring him , in the name of themselves , and the whole nation , that they will not own the interest of charles stuart , but endeavour the preservation of the peace of their country , against all attempts whatsoever . having thus setled the country in a posture of defence , orders were issued forth for the army to march towards the borders ; which the lord lambert understanding , immediately gave order for the advance of his forces ; so that both armies being upon motion , several regiments of horse and foot are matched into northumberland ; and 't is reported , that general monck is advanced over berwick bridge , and that some engagement hath hapned , and a small party of horse routed : but this being various , we shall not blot paper with any such circumstances : considering , that the interests of several persons do ballance the scales according to their affections : however , thus much is ascertain'd , that the army under the conduct of general monck consists of about nine thousand horse and foot , and that the lord lambert is neer upon eleven thousand . by the last express from portsmouth , on saturday last , it is certified , that a party of horse came as far as gosper , and faced the town , but afterwards wheeled off at a further distance . seven troops are also marched from petersfield towards chichester , and some commotions are feared about exceter . the foot that marched from london was met on saturday last between lookhup and petersfield , and intended to arrive before portsmouth the th instant . which place is said to be supplyed with great store of provision and ammunition , having above threescore pieces of ordnance . col. morley , and the rest of the members of the old parliament , having consulted the publick affairs in general , and setled that garrison , dispatched ( as we hear ) sundry letters to the governours of several castles and garrisons , inciting them to a return of their former duty , and to alienate their affections from the army . but how it is rescented , the relations are various , and the several reports as dubious : for some report the isle and castle of portland to be in safe hands , and that cowes and hurst castle in the isle of wight have undergone some tamperings : as also carisbrook castle : what further shall accrue , upon these national transactions , we shall endeavour to make obvious , by our next : humbly imploring , that the signal manifestations of gods most gracious presence , may enlighten the sons of men in these dark and gloomy times , and to work our deliverance from the inevitable ruine and mischiefs , which are now aggravated by our manifold divisions . upon the arrive of this suddain change and alteration , in so considerable a garrison as portsmouth , it was ordered , that a considerable body of horse and foot should be forthwith sent down into the western parts , to reduce that garrison , or block it up : and accordingly the lord disbrow was made choice of , as commander in chief for that expedition , who advanced with several troops of horse from westminster , and on tuesday night last colonel hewsons regiment of foot began their march from the city of london , and five companies of colonel gibbons regiment from the borough of southwark who were met on friday last above twenty miles on their way towards portsmouth , the horse being in the van , who are somewhat impeded in their march , by the present season , and inclemency of the weather . notwithstanning , willing they are , to embrace all timely opportunities , for the obviating all dangerous and pernitious designs and enterprises , that may any wayes prove obnoxious and destructive to the publike peace and welfare of these nations : in order whereunto , all possible care is taken , for the way-laying , stopping , and guarding the several avenues and passes , porting and leading to the town , that so the reducing of it may prove the more facile , and the work expedited , which otherwi●e may introduce various contingencies & mutations , the spirits of the people being exceeding inclinable therunto : occ sioned by the deplorable revolutions , and a general decay of trade , as doth exceed the greatest of presidents in former times . sir arthur hasilrigg , colonel morley , and colonel walton , have issued forth warrants , for the raising of forces in the western counties , according to the power given them by act of parliament for the commanding of the army . the forces sent from london are arrived in those parts , and have faced the town ; but there is li●tle hopes ( as yet ) of attiquing the place . the garrison is re-inforced with additional supplies , and many of the gentry are joyned with them ; but colonel norton ( we hear ) declines engaging . there is free access into the town by sea , and the frigats which lay in the harbour have been coasting up and down , and have brought in some supplies . they were lately at faymouth , and from thence went towards plymouth , but are since returned . the commissions issued forth for raising of the countreyes , have been sent to divers gentlemen in those parts ;

and the same species melted down by forraign mints and goldsmiths , and imported again in forraign species , much below our own coyn , both in weight and fineness , whereby our authority has been contemned , our people cheated and abused , and the trade and commerce of this kingdom highly prejudged ;

whereby the people increasing to so great numbers , are not well to be governed by the wonted officers ; the price of uictuals is much inhanced , the health of his subjects inhabiting in the cities and places aforesaid , or repairing thither , much indangered ; and many other good towns and boroughs un-peopled , and in their trades much decayed : and also taking notice of the frequent fires chiefly occasioned by timber-buildings , and considering the general commodity which would grow to the said cities , and the liberties , and suburbs of the same , if building with brick and stone there , were more used , whereby timber also would be greatly preserved and spared , which is now in all parts much wasted and grown very scant . and his majesty likewise considering , how much it would grace and beautifie the said cities ( being the principle places of this kingdom , for the entertainment and resort of foreign princes and their embassadors , which from time to time do come into this realm ) if an uniformity were kept in the said buildings , and the houses were builded with brick and stone , which is both more durable and safe against fire ; and also by experience is found to be of little more , if not less charge then the building with timber . the kings majesty doth therefore streightly prohibite and forbid all persons whatsoever , that they , nor any of them shall , or do at any time after the publishing of this proclamation , build , erect , or set up , or cause to be builded , erected , or set up within the cities of london or westminster , or the suburbs thereof , or within the distance of two miles , to be taken from any of the gates of the said city of london , any manner of buildings , be they dwelling houses , stables , shops , sheds , or any other building whatsoever , except it be upon the foundation of a former dwelling house , stable , shop , stall , shed , or other like building respectively , or in or upon some inner-court or yard of a dwelling house , onely for an inlargement of the said dwelling house , for one onely habitation as it was before . and his majesty doth further streightly prohibite and forbid all persons whatsoever , that they , nor any of them , shall or do at any time after the publishing of this proclamation , build , rebuild , erect , or set up , or cause to be builded , rebuilded , erected , or set up , upon any old foundation , any house , habitation , or shop , or whole story of any building within the said cities of london and westminster , or the liberties or suburbs of the same , or within two miles , to be taken from any of the gates of the said city of london , except the said house , habitation , shop , or story , so to be builded as is aforesaid , be wholly built of brick , or of brick and stone ;

and likewise , that every person that shall erect any house , as aforesaid , shall be allowed one or more ballconies , so as they do build the walls upright from the foundation to the top , without iutties , out-windows , or trussing over , or over-hanging as aforesaid : and his majesty doth streightly forbid all carpenters , laborers , and workmen whatsoever , that they or any of them , do attempt or do any labor or work in or about the building , or setting up of any houses within the said cities and places aforesaid , contrary to this his highness proclamation , upon pain of such punishment and imprisonment as by the laws of this realm may or can be inflicted upon them in that behalf : and his majesty doth also command the lord major , and aldermen of london , and all his majesties iustices of peace , and all others having authority within the said cities , or the limits , or places aforesaid , that they and every of them respectively do cause this his majesties commandment , to be streightly observed , and duly executed according to the tenor and true meaning thereof without delay . provided always nevertheless , and his majesties pleasure is , that such part of this his highness proclamation , as concerneth building with brick or stone , shall not extend to any houses , habitations , shops , or stories of buildings , which from and after the publishing of this proclamation shall be builded or erected , in , or upon london-bridge : and to the end his majesties will and pleasure herein may be the better observed , he further commandeth , that the surveyor of his majesties works , for the time being , do take care that this his majesties proclamation be in all things duely pursued and put in effectual execution ;

after the lord had appeared for our army at torrington , and had written his name in such visible characters before the faces of many , counsell was taken to pursue the enemy into cornwall , and the rather because the scattering of that body of horse would after an especiall manner promote our future designes , not onely in order to exceter , but also to our easterne imployment , i shall therefore give you an accompt , first of the steps we made into cornwall ; secondly , of the state of the country ; thirdly , the condition of the enemy ; fourthly of our owne army . upon our advance , the generall gave me a commission to apply my self to all means and expedients i could think of , for the stopping of the east parts of cornwall from rising and joyning with the enemies horse , foot being that which the enemy ( onely ) wanted , and those they brought to torrington blown into severall parts , and scattered , with a purpose not to appeare againe . accordingly i rid to plymouth , ( though not without much difficulty ) riding forty miles very neer the enemies guards ; i dealt at plymouth with the governour and the committee there , who offered me all their furtherances , had passes of them for any i should imploy into cornwall , and was much engaged to mr. raw , of that place , ( a discreete able man , and industrious ) who undertooke to agitate my designes with the enemy , and deserves exceeding well for his faithfulnesse and wisdome therein . when i was thus thoughtfull how to ingage the cornish foot from rising in the east , ( whose example would have had a present influence on all the county ) it pleased the lord to send in one out of cornwall , of very good quality , ( and much interessed ) who came disguized into plymouth , having the same designe with my self , for strong affections to the parliament and their cause , assuring me , that . men stood ready to joine with the enemies horse , yet that there were good hopes , that the leaders being rightly informed , might not onely prevent it , but conditionally close with us . their chiefes were old master colliton , colonell edgcomb of mount edgcomb , master thomas lowre , and lieutenant colonell scawen . to these i applyed my self ( by writing ) and declared what i had in commission from the generall , and sent it by the party by me imployed , who returned again , and gave me hopes , and yet professed much jealousie on their part for the true performance on what i promised ; and therefore to shorten my worke i offered my selfe an hostage to them , till the generall should make good what i promised . by the next return they invited me into cornwall , where foure of them should be ready , in the behalfe of themselves and others , to treate with me , and as they saw cause , to accompany me to the generall . i adventured over to them , and there found master corriton , m. thomas lowre , m. glanvill , the eldest son of serjeant glanvill , and major trevise ; who being perswaded of the truth of what i had engaged my self for , were perswaded to go to the generall with me , and truly i found them very ingenuous , who had long before distasted the court way , and abhorred the practises of many of the kings party . by this time the generall had entred cornwall , and ( at stratton ) our men beate up a guard of the enemies , and took . horse : these cornish gentlemen , finding my words made good unto them , were much convinced and affected , receiving from the generall protections for themselves and that side of the country against the violence of our souldiers , as also letters of recommendation to the parliament , for this their service , which tooke such effect , that not onely these . men , ready for their march , retired to their houses , but also the whole county where we came , either came in to us , or sate still ; and truly these easterne gentlemen are very considerable , and i am perswaded the old master coriton , ( who suffered for magna charta , with sir iohn elliot , ) will returne to his interest againe , with many more of them . upon our advance the enemy retreated , the generall lay at bodman to refresh our men , and to undeceive the county , if by any means we might , which the lord himself was pleased to help us in , even to wonder , by an irish frigot , coming into padstow , and bringing letters to hopton and others , from the earl of glamorgan , that jesuited papist , assuring them of ten thousand irish ready for england . these letters the generall commanded me to read , at a great meeting of the country men , in a field neere bodman , which had such successe , that the arguments i used unto them , and what i read was received with divers acclamations . upon this day fortnight a strong party of ours was sent out to fall upon their maine guard , under the command of that honest and worthy gentleman col. rich , who accordingly met with one thousand of the enemies horse , routed them , and put them to flight , and tooke two hundred horses , and one hundred prisoners , amongst whom master generall perts , who is since dead of his wounds , in whose pocket a copy of a letter to the princes counsell about him , was found to this purpose . that the kings condition is so low is not our fault , we are not able to breake through the enemy , nor strong enough to fight them ; therefore are resolved to compound for our selves , and leave you to doe what you please . sir , it came from the military part . divers small skirmishes we had with them , lieutenant generall cromwell himselfe , with some of his horses are setting out parties and guards , and attending their motions , adventured himselfe according to his wonted manner ; and now the enemies head quarter being at truro , and their chiefe strength not above five of sixe miles from us , the generall resolving to fight them , or drive them to the sea , sent them such propositions with a summons , as he did conceive would take off much of their forces , and bring them all to a sudden agreement ; and upon the sending of these , advanced still forward , and in our advance they met us with a desire of a treaty , which accordingly was yeelded unto , and held sixe daies , there being matters not a few to be considered of , as appears by the articles . upon the last lords day , upon a downe a mile from truro , after i had preached to our men , and divers of the enemies , they began to deliver up their armes and horses . the first regiment was a french regiment , under the command of mounsier laplane on sunday last , yet i must much commend the civility of our souldiers herein , that they let them passe without mocking , or jeering , or offering any affronts to them . on munday there were three brigades more disbanded , and on tuesday the rest according to the articles ; if it shall be objected , that the generall dealt too gently with the county , or the souldiery part there , i answer . that the constitution of both the one and the other required it , the souldiers being a strong party , and in the enemies country . the people needed it , and the same weapon proved their cure that made their wound , hoptons moderation , civility that first deceived them , and the generals now joyned with faithfulnesse tooke the scales from their eyes . that we have all this year found it our advantage ; meeknesse , sweetnesse and courage have been alwaies stirring in our generall for digniority ; we know that caesar dando , sublenando , ignoscendo gloriam adepiusest , but of the generall we may say by the like meanes , patriam bene adeptus est . we beleeve , that the conduct of this army delight not to drinke blood . the parliaments aimes are not destructive , but reductive . we look upon it as the spirit of christ in these latter times , and of the new testament , to save , and not to ruine ; and the heathen could say : magnanimo satis est praedam prostrasse leoni , pugna suum sinem , cum jacet hostis habet . and this i am bold to adde , that such is the providence of god , that if we had fought and beaten them , we should not have scattered them as now they are ; god hath restrained from the enemies themselves this acknowledgement , that their gods is not like ours ; their men not like ours , their actions not like ours : the very words of one of their chiefe commanders were these : " that their men counselled with drinke in their heads , ours with wit in their heads ; our men silently prosecuted and effected their worke , their men vapoured and did nothing : we had a conduct and counsell , they acted without both ; yea , that this army was not to be fought against . and all the enemy are engaged never to take up armes against the parliament , except some very few onely . for the country , the gentry came almost all in unto us , the cornish souldiers brought us and laid downe their armes at the generalls foot , many of them professing they would but goe home and attend him . some of the arguments i used in speaking and preaching to them in their publike assemblies were ; first for the parliament , they did as a iustice of peace , sent out a counstable to apprehended such as had broake the civill peace : the cunstable beaten back from his office , hath more helpe sent him , towne and cuntry who are re-resolved to pursue his disturbers , our taking up of armes was not against cornish men , nor any perticular men , nor any perticular county , but against such as disturbed both them and us , which if they deliver them to us ; we had the end of our travells . secondly i used an argument of utily , wishing them to consider how they could subject without trade which are from the city of london , and other parts of the kingdome . thirdly , what havock the irish and french might make upon them if they landed ; of which gorings desperadoes have given them a taste . fourthly , how comfortably , and safe they might live under the parliament , who are loath to loose such a tribe as they were . fifthly , i answered a common murmuring amongst them , that their country was never conquered . they were tould , that our army was never conquered neither , and yet we were willing to wrestle with them in their one way , by embracing , and huging of them , they should conquer us , and we would conquer them , we would win the day , and they should gaine the field , or their fields : if they lost a service b●oke they should have a better worship : sixthly , was from experience , the were wished to tract all the parliaments proceedings , and the armies in other counties ; whether they had had better ministers , and better magistrates placed then before . seventhly , was taken from the practise of the enemie , and this quaerie was put to them , what good the enemy had done for them ; whether their examples , and practises , councels and indeavours , had led them to more holinesse , justnesse , and exactnesse . many of them confessed , they were received by ill reports brought of the parliament and the crueltyes of this army , by hopions flateries , and the courtiers , and by the kings , and princes personall apperance amongst them : and by their promises to them honouring of them , as more perticular appears , by this declaration of the kings , hanged up in every church in the country . charles r. wee are so highly sensible of the extraordinary merit of our county of cornwall , of the zeale for the defence of our person and the just rights of our crown , ( in a time when we could contribute so little to our owne defence , or to their assistance in a time when not onely no reward appeared , but great and probable dangers were threatned to obedience and loyalty ; ) of their great and eminent courage and patience in their indefatigable prosecution of their great work against so potent an enemy , block't with so strong , rich , and populous cities , and so plentifully furnished and supplyed with men , arms , money , ammunition and provision of all kinds ; and of the wonderfull successe with which it hath pleased almighty god ( though with the losse of some most eminent persons , who shall never be forgotten by vs ) to reward their loyalty and patience by many strange victories over their and our enemies , in despight of all humane probability , and all imaginable disadvantages ; that as wee cannot be forgetfull of so great deserts , so we cannot but desire to publish to all the world , and perpetuate to all time the memory of these their merits , and of our acceptance of the same . and to that end wee doe hereby render our royall thankes to that our county , in the most publike and most lasting manner we can devise , commanding copies hereof to be printed and published , and one of them to be read in every church and chappell therein , and to be kept for ever as a record in the same , that as long as the history of those times , and of this nation shall continue , the memory of how much that county hath merited from vs and our crowne , may be derived with it to posterity . given at our campe at sudeley castle the tenth of september , . and lastly , their lude and ungodly ministers had councelled them , and exampled them to the greatest part of their misery , i make no doubt , they may prove a people of gods praise , may they but enjoy a faithfull magistracie and ministry ; for which , my most earnest and humble request is to this honourable house : me thinkes they cry at every gate , bread , bread , for the lords sake . i wish there were some evangelicall ministers in each county of the kingdom , that poor people might know there is god ; that they might fear him , and love him , and be acquainted with his son , who is theirs and our life . the county is all cleerly reduced , except pendennis , helford , and the mount ; which the very countrey ( i hope ) will bee willing to teduce themselves , feymouth harbour is free to us ; we have taken st. mawes castle , with twelve peices of ordnance in it , and one called the roaring-meg , a choice peice of brasse : the generall is sending eastward some of his forces , towards barnstable and exeter , and intends ( having blockt up pe dennis ) to return himself . there came two out of exeter to us , who caried in propositions with them ; and of barnstable we hope to give a good accoun shortly . at foy upon munday last , we took a ship called the greene knight , having peices of ordnance , and richly laden , they being ignorant that the harbour was ours . your affaires have a good complexion upon them at present ; and doubtlesse , whilest you imploy good men , they will be good for you . i have observed in the whole tract of this western work , divers promises fulfilled ; as that the lord would send an hornest amongst them : that is , a spirit of fear , and that they shall fly when none pursues them : wee could seldome make them stand anywhere ; they never offered to beat up a guard of ours at any time , though they had four thousand fighting horse . i have been tould in their quarters where i lay , as . times my lot was to lie in hoptons own quarters in bed , where they tould me upon everie alarme , the sh●kings of belshazer was up on them , one passage aboue the rest was this ; . of them lieing in an house at saint a●stel , two coults that w●e feeding upon a common , in a could night , came for shelter to the side of the house . they tooke an alarme within , charged the coults to stand ; but they not understand the language , kept on their way , put them to such a sight , that they tumbled one upon the back of another to get away . sometimes i thought of that promise in the first psalme , that they shall be scattered as chaffe before the winde , they are gone into severall countries . sometimes , the lord saith he will bring his wheele upon them , and break them , we saw their power broken , their councells broken , their intrests broken , their expectations broken , who would have broke the verie axeltree of the state . sometimes i thought of the prophesy ; when the lord saith he would powre contempt upon princes especiallie when i read writings from the prince , thus , dated at our court at sillie : and though he be unwilling to play with words , yet i could wish that that place , and name might ever be the portion of those that councell princes to their own ruin . incedit inscilam cuplens vltare quietem . manie of such like punishes have been fulfilled in our fight . and now i must be thankfull to those gentlemen of this house , that have beene carefull for moneyes cloathes , and ammunition for the army , being the sinewes of our worke , and yet must complaine ;

and men have gotten estates by new and greater frauds then have been heretofore practised ; and therefore in this conjuncture , extraordinary remedies may be necessary , which hath induced me to comply with your advice , in passing these bills ; but i pray let this be very rarely done hereafter : the good old rules of the law are the best security ; and let not men have too much cause to fear , that the settlements they make of their estates , shall be too easily unsettled when they are dead by the power of parliaments . my lords and gentlemen , you have so much obliged me , not onely in the matter of those bills which concern my revenue , but in the manner of passing them , with so great affection and kindness to me , that i know not how to thank you enough . i do assure you , and i pray assure your friends in the countrey , that i will apply all you have given me , to the utmost improvement of the peace and happiness of the kingdom , and will , with the best advice and good husbandry i can , bring my expences within a narrower compass . now i am speaking to you of my own good husbandry , i must tell you , that will not be enough ; i cannot but observe to you , that the whole nation seems to me a little corrupted in their excess of living . sure all men spend much more in their clothes , in their diet , in all their expences , then they have used to do . i hope it hath onely been the excess of joy , after so long sufferings , that hath transported us to these other excesses ; but let us take heed that the continuance of them doth not indeed corrupt our natures . i do believe i have been faulty that way my self ; i promise you , i will reform , and if you will joyn with me in your several capacities , we shall by our examples do more good , both in city and countrey , then any new laws would do . i tell you again , i will do my part , and i will tell some of you , if you do not do yours . i hope the laws i have passed this day will produce some reformation with reference to the multitude of beggars and poor people which infest the kingdom ; great severity must be used to those who love idleness , and refuse to work , and great care and charity towards those who are willing to work . i do very heartily recommend the execution of those good laws to your utmost diligence , and i am sure i need not put you in minde so to settle the militia , that all seditious insurrections may not onely be prevented , to which the mindes of too many are inclined , but that the people may be without reasonable apprehension of such insecurity . you will easily believe , that it is very necessary for the publick iustice of the kingdom , and even for the preservation of the reverence due to parliaments , that i make this a session ; and it will be worthy of your wisdoms when you come together again , to provide that there be not so great clamour against the multitude of protections . i will say no more , but renew my hearty thanks to you all , and refer the rest to the chancellor . his majesties speech being ended , the lord chancellor began as followeth . the lord chancellors speech . my lords , and you the knights , citizens and burgesses of the house of commons , it is now little more then a year that the king first called you to attend him here , at the opening of the parliament ; then you may remember he told you , that he thought there were not many of you , who were not particularly known to him ; that there were very few of whom he had not heard so much good , that he was ( he said ) as sure as he could be of any thing that was to come , that you would all concur with him , and that he should concur with you in all things , which might advance the peace , plenty , and prosperity of the nation . his majesty said he should be exceedingly deceived else . it was a princely declaration , and a rare confidence , which could flow from no other fountain , but the sincerity and purity of his own conscience , which admitting no other designs or thoughts into his royal breast , but such as must tend to the unquestionable prosperity and greatness of his people , could not but be assured of your full concurrence and co-operation with him. it was a happy and a blessed omen , which at the instant struck a terrour into the hearts of those , who promised themselves some advantages from the differences and divisions in your councels , and hoped from thence to create new troubles and molestations in the kingdom ; and , god be thanked , the king hath been so far from being exceedingly deceived , that he doth acknowledge he hath been exceedingly complied with , exceedingly gratified in all he hath desired , and he hopes he hath not in the least degree disappointed your expectation . mr. speaker , and you gentlemen of the house of commons , you have , like the richest and the noblest soil , a soil manured and enriched by the bountiful hearts of the best subjects in the world , yielded the king two full harvests in one year ; and therefore it is but good husbandry to lie fallow for some time : you have not only supplied the crown to a good degree for discharging many debts and pressures , under which it even groaned , and enabled it to struggle with the present streights and necessities , debts not contracted , and necessities not run into by improvidence and excess ; you may , when you please , receive such an accompt , as will clear all such reproaches ; but you have wisely , very wisely provided such a constant growing revenue , as may with gods blessing preserve the crown from those scandalous wants and necessities , as have heretofore exposed it and the kingdom to those dismal miseries , from which they are but even now buoyed up ; for whatsoever other humane causes may be assigned , according to the several fancies and imaginations of men , of our late miserable distractions , they cannot be so reasonably imputed to any one cause , as to the extream poverty of the crown : the want of power could never have appeared , if it had not been for the want of money . you have , my lords and gentlemen , worthily provided for the vindication and manifestation of the one by the bill of the militia , and for the supply of the other by the act for the additional revenue ; and i am confident , both the present and succeeding ages will bless god , and celebrate your memories for those two bills , as the foundation of their peace , quiet and security , how froward and indisposed soever many are at present , who f●nding such obstructions laid in their way to mutiny and sedition , use all the artifice they can to perswade the people , that you have not been sollicitous enough for their liberty , nor tenacious enough for their profit , and wickedly labour to lessen that reverence towards you , which sure was never more due to any parliament . it was a very natural and an ingenious animadversion and reflection , which the late incomparable lord viscount of st. albans made upon that old fable of the giants , who were first overthrown in the war against the gods , when the earth , their mother , in revenge thereof , brought forth fame ; which he said , is the same , when princes and monarchs have suppressed actual and open rebellion , then the malignity of the people , the mother of rebellion , doth bring forth libels , slanders , and taxation of the state , which , he saies , is of the same kinde with rebellion , but more feminine . and without doubt this seditious daughter of the earth , this spirit of libelling , was never more pregnant then it is now ; nor king , nor parliament , nor church , nor state , ever more exposed to those flagella linguae , those strokes of the tongue , from which god almighty can only preserve the most innocent and most excellent persons ; as if repining and murmuring were the peculiar exercise of the nation , to keep it in health ; as if england had so much of the merchant , nunquam habendi fructu foelix , semper autem quaerendi cupiditate miserrima . men are in no degree disposed to imitate , or remember the general excellent temper of the time of queen elizabeth , the blessed condescention and resignation of the people then to the crown , the awful reverence they then had to the government , and to the governours , both in church and state. this good and happy spirit was in a time beyond our memory , but they remember ; as if it were but yesterday , how few subsidies parliaments then gave to that queen , how small supplies the crown then had from the people , and wonder that the same measures should not still fill the coffers , and give the same reputation , and make the same noise in christendom . but ( my lords and gentlemen ) how bold soever some unquiet spirits are with you , upon this argument , you are much superiour to those reproaches . you know well , and you can make others know , without breaking the act of indempnity , how the crown hath been since used , how our soveraign lord the king found it at his blessed return to it ; you can tell the world , that as soon as he came hither , besides the infinite that he forgave , he gave more , more money to the people , then he hath since received from them ; that at least two parts of three , that they have since given him , have issued for the disbanding armies never raised by him , and for payment of fleets never sent out by him , and of debts never incurred by him. you will put them in mind of the vast disparity between the former times , and these in which we live , and consequently of the disproportion in the expence the crown is now at , for the protection and benefit of the subject , to what it formerly under-went . how great a difference there is in the present greatness and power of the two crowns , and what they were then possessed of , is evident to all men ; and if the greatness and power of the crown of england be not in some proportion improved too , it may be liable to inconveniencies it will not undergo alone . how our neighbours and our rivals , who court one and the same mistress , trade and commerce , with all the world , are advanced in shipping , power , and an immoderate desire to engross the whole traffick of the universe , is notorious enough ; and this unruly appetite will not be restrained , or disappointed , nor the trade of this nation supported and maintained , with the same fleets and forces which were maintained in the happy times of q. elizabeth . not to speak of the naval power of the turks , who in stead of sculking abroad in poor single ships as they were wont to do , domineer now on the ocean in strong fleets , make naval fights , and have brought some christians to a better correspondence , and another kind of commerce and traffique with them , then was expected , insomuch as they apprehend no enemy upon the sea , but what they find in the king of englands ships , which hath indeed brought no small damage upon them , with no small charge to the king , but a great reputation to the nation . my lords and gentlemen , you may with a very good conscience assure your selves , and your friends and neighbours , that the charge the crown is now at by sea and land , for the peace and security , and wealth and honour of the nation , amounts to no less then eight hundred thousand pounds a year ; all which did not cost the crown before these troubles , fourscore thousand pounds the year ; and therefore they will never blame you for any supply you have given , or addition you have made to the revenue of the crown ; and whosoever unskilfully murmures at the expence of dunkirk , and the other new acquisitions , which ought to be looked upon as jewels of an immense magnitude in the royal diadem , do not enough remember what we have lost by dunkirk , and should always do , if it were in an enemies hands ; nor duely consider the vast advantages those other dominions are like , by gods blessing , in a short time , to bring to the trade , navigation , wealth and honour of the king and kingdom . his majesty hath enough expressed his desire to live in a perfect peace and amity with all his neighbours ; nor is it an ill ingredient towards the firmness and stability of that peace and amity , which his royal ancestors have held and maintained with them , that he hath some advantages in case of a war , which they were without . it was a right ground of confidence , such an one as seldom deceives men , that the great law-maker , the wise solon , had , when he concluded , that reverence and obedience would be yielded to his laws , because he had taken the pains to make his citizens know , and understand , that it was more for their profit to obey law and justice , then to contemn and break it . the extravagant times of licence , which i hope we have almost out-lived , have so far corrupted the mindes , and even the nature of too many , that they do not return with that alacrity they ought to do , into the road and paths of order and government , from which they have so long been led astray ; nor , it may be , is there pains enough taken , to make them understand the profit , benefit , and ease , which alwaies attends a cheerful obedience and submission to laws and government . i am perswaded , a little pains and kindness and condescention in the wise , towards the weak , half the diligence and dexterity in conversation and example , which hath been used to cnrrupt the people in their loyalty and understanding , will quickly reduce them to their primitive temper , which is , to be the best neighbours , and the best friends , and the best subjects of the world : and i make no question , but the great piety and devotion , the moderation , wisdom , charity , and hospitality of my lords the bishops , in their several diocesses , will in a short time recover the poor mis-led people : and though the frowardness and pride of some of their teachers may not be yet enough subdued , though some of the clergy still repeat their old errors , for which they have been glad to receive pardon , and do in truth discredit all their other doctrine , with the absence of any visible repentance for what mischief they have formerly done ; yet i hope the laity will soon return into the bosom of their dear mother the church , and easily discern the fraud and imposture of their seducers ; and that all diligence and dexterity will be used , seriously and heartily to reconcile both clergy and laity , by all means which may prove effectual . you have ( my lords and gentlemen ) like wise patriots , upon your observation , that the most signal indulgence and condescentions , the temporary suspension of the rigour of former laws , hath not produced that effect which was expected , that the humours and spirits of men are too rough and boisterous for those soft remedies , you have prepared sharper laws and penalties , to contend with those refractory persons , and to break that stubbornness which will not bend to gentler applications : and it is great reason , that they upon whom clemency cannot prevail , should feel that severity they have provoked . you have done your parts like good physitians , made wholsom prescriptions for the constitution of your patients , well knowing that the application of these remedies , the execution of these sharp laws depends upon the wisdom of the most discerning , generous , and merciful prince , who having had more experience of the nature , and humour of mankinde , then any prince living , can best distinguish between the tenderness of conscience , and the pride of conscience , between the real effects of conscience , and the wicked pretences to conscience ; who having fought with beasts at ephesus , knows how to guard himself and the kingdom from the assaults and violence of a strong , malicious , corrupted understanding , and will ; and how to secure himself and the kingdom from the feeble traps and nets of deluded fancies , and imaginations : in a word , a prince of so excellent a nature , and so tender a conscience himself , that he hath the highest compassion for all errors of that kinde , and will never suffer the weak to undergo the punishment ordained for the wicked , and knows , and understands better then any man , that excellent rule of quintilian , est aliquid quod non oportet , etiamsi licet , & aliud est jura spectare , aliud justitiam . my lords and gentlemen , machiavel , who , they say , is an author much studied of late in this kingdom , to extol his own excellent judgment and insight in history ; in which indeed he was a master , would perswade men to believe , that the true reason , why so many unexpected accidents and mischiefs fall out , to the destruction of states and empires , is , because their governours have not observed the same mischiefs heretofore in story , and from whence they proceeded , and what progress they made , which he says , if they had done , they might easily have preserved themselves from ruine , and prevented the inconveniences which have faln out . i am sure you are all good historians , and need onely to resort to the records of your own memories . remember how your peace hath been formerly disturbed , by what contrivance and artifices the people have been alarm'd , with unreasonable and unnatural fears and jealousies , and what dismal effects those fears and jealousies have produced . remember how near monarchy hath been dissolved , and the law subverted under pretence of reforming and supporting government , law , and justice . and remember how many honest persons were mis-led by not discerning consequences , who would as soon have renounced their part in heaven , as have concurred in the first unwarrantable action , if they had suspected what did follow : and if we suffer the same enemy to break in upon us at the same avenues , if we suffer our peace to be blown up by the same trains and machinations , we shall be held very ill historians , and worse polititians . there is an enemy amongst us , of whom i doubt we are not jealous enough , and towards whom we cannot be too vigilant , and in truth , in comparison of whom we may reasonably undervalue all other enemies ; that is , the republicans , the commonwealths-men , who are every day calling in aid of the law , that they may overthrow and abolish the law , which they know to be their irreconcilable enemy . indeed , my lords and gentlemen , there is a vey great party of those men in every faction of religion , who truly have no religion , but as the pretence serves to advance that faction . you cannot be too sollicitous , too inquisitive after these men , who are restless in their councels , and wonderfully punctual and industrious in their correspondences , which they maintain abroad as well as at home : and you cannot doubt they have encouragement enough from abroad ; few of our neighbours love us so exceedingly well , but that they would be glad to see us entangled in domestique broyls . these men are worthy of your care and diligence , in your speedy settling the militia , which the king hath even now so particularly recommended to you . i shall conclude with only putting you in mind , that there was scarce ever a more dangerous sedition in the republique of rome , then in a time of full peace , when the citizens were sullen , when there was no noise but in whispers , when men neglected their trades , and stayed idle in their own houses , as if they cared not which way the world went , from whence alone their neighbours the etrurians were encouraged to make a war upon them . novum seditionis genus ( says livy ) silentium otiumque inter cives . never any nation under heaven , has less cause of sullenness then we , never more of joy and thanksgiving : we all know that god almighty loves a chearful giver , and we may as well know that he loves a chearful receiver ; besides all other stupendious blessings conferred upon us , he hath given us the most chearful giver , that ever people hath been blest with ; a king that hath with all imaginable chearfulness given us all we have asked of him , all he hath to give ; who would not take or retain any thing we give to him , but for our own sakes ; that by receiving and retaining it , he may give it to us again , in more abundance , in abundance of peace , and plenty , and honour , and all the comforts which can make a nation happy . this time hath made a glorious addition to our happiness , which ought proportionably to increase our chearfulness ; we wanted onely one blessing , the arrival of our queen , whom god hath now safely brought to us ; a queen of such a rare perfection in body and mind , of such great endowments of wisdom , vertue , and piety , that we may reasonably promise our selves from her , all the happiness we are capable of , and a succession of princes to govern us , till the end of the world ; and there cannot be a more transcendent instance of the kings love , and passion for his people , then that he hath staid these four days to take his leave of you ; and , that he might give you this days work , all these good laws , hath denied himself so long the enjoying the greatest comfort he is assured of in this world . if there be not the most universal joy in the reception of these blessings ; if there be not an universal contentedness and satisfaction in the hearts of all men ; and if that contentedness and satisfaction do not break out , and is not visible in the looks , and thoughts , and words , and actions of the whole nation , to the inflaming the hearts of the other nations under his majesties obedience by our example , we are guilty of an ingratitude that is worthy to deprive us of all we enjoy , and to disappoint us of all we pray for . and therefore i do most humbly beseech you , my lords and gentlemen , that as there is a most noble cheerfulness and alacrity visible in you ; and hath shed it self over all your countenances ; so that you will think it worthy of your pains , to infuse the same good spirit into city and countrey , that they may all express that joy and delight in the blessings they are possessed of , and cheerfully endeavour to improve those blessings , by their cheerful enjoying them , that god may continue those blessings to us , and the kings comfort may be encreased , by the comfort he sees we have in him , and in what he hath done for us ; and as all princes may take a pattern from him to govern , and make their subjects happy ; so that all subjects may learn from us , how to obey , and make that happiness lasting to them , by an eminent and innocent alacrity in their acknowledgment . i am by the kings express command , to add one particular which his majesty meant , but forgot to say himself . you cannot but observe that his majesty hath not passed the bill that concerns the earl of derby , which you cannot imagine proceeds from his majesties want of care of , and kindness to that noble family , which hath served him so faithfully , and suffered so much for so doing ; but all parties having referred the matter to his majesty , he doubts not but to make a better end for that noble earl then he would attain if the bill had passed . i shall only add the kings commands for the prorogation of this parliament till the eighteenth day of february , and this parliament is prorogued till the eighteenth day of february next . london , printed by iohn bill and christopher barker , printers to the kings most excellent majesty . . by the king, a proclamation for inforcing the laws against conventicles and for preservation of the publick peace against unlawful assemblies of papists and non-conformists england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

and neither we nor you must be over much troubled , if we find our good intentions , and the unwearied paines we take to reduce those good intentions into reall acts , for the quiet and security of the nation , misrepresented and mis-interpreted , by those who are in truth , afflicted to see the publique distractions , by gods blessing , so near an end ; and , by others upon whose weaknesse , fears and jealousies , the activity , and cunning of those ill men , have too great an influence . how wonderfull , and miraculous soever the great harmony of affections between us and our good subjects is , and that it is so visible and manifest to the world , that there scarce appears the view of any clould to overshadow or disturb it ; yet , we must not think that god almighty hath wrought the miracle to that degree , that a nation , so miserably divided for so many years , is so soon , and entirely united in their affections and endeavours as were to be wished ; but that the evil consciences of many men continue so awake for mischief , that they are not willing to take rest themselves , or to suffer others to take it : and we have all had too sad experience of the unhappy effects of fears and jealousies , how groundlesse and unreasonable soever , not to think it very necessary to apply all timely and proper remedies to those distempers , and to prevent the inconveniencies and mischiefs , which too naturally flow from thence : we well foresaw , that the great violation which the laws of the land had for so many years sustained , had filled the hearts of the people , with a terrible apprehension of insecurity to themselves , if all they had said and done should be lyable to be examined and punished by those laws , which had been so violated ; and that nothing could establish the security of king and people , but a full provision , that the returning to the reverence and obedience of the law , ( which is good for us all ) should not turn to the ruine of any , who are willing and fit to receive that protection hereafter from the law , and to pay that subjection to it , that is just and necessary , and therefore we made that free offer of a general pardon , in such a manner as is expressed in our declaration , and how ready and desirous we are to make good the same , appears by our proclamation , which we have issued out upon , and according to your desire . however it is evident , that all we have , or do offer , doth not enough compose the minds of our people , nor in their opinions can their security be provided for , till the act of indemnity and oblivion be passed ; and we find great industry is used by those , ( who do not wish that peace to the kingdome they ought to do ) to perswade our good subjects , that we have no mind to make good our promises , which in truth we desire to perform for our own sake as well as theirs : and we do therefore very earnestly recommend it to you , that all possible expedition be used in the passing that most necessary act , whereby our good subjects generally will be satisfied , that their security is in their own hands , and depends upon their future actions , and that they are free for all that is past ; and so all the endeavours of ill men will be disappointed , which would perswade them not to do well now , because they have heretofore done amisse . and we are the more engaged to this our recommendation , because upon the reflection of your eminent zeal and affection for our service , and hearty concurrence with us in all we have desired from you , men are apt to perswade others ( though they do not believe it themselves ) that the passing this act is therefore deserred , because we do not enough presse the dispatch of it ; which we do desire from our heart , and are confident you will the sooner do , upon this our earnest recommendation . wednesday , june . . ordered , that his majesties gracious message to the house , delivered by mr. secratary morris , the . of june instant , and then read , be forthwith printed and published . will. jessop clerk of the commons house of parliament . re-printed at edinburgh by a society of stationers , . by the kings most excellent majestie a declaration to all his maiesties loving subiects in his kngdoms [sic] of england, scotland, and ireland, &c. charles ii, king of england, - . this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a of text r in the english short title catalog (wing c ). textual changes and metadata enrichments aim at making the text more computationally tractable, easier to read, and suitable for network-based collaborative curation by amateur and professional end users from many walks of life. the text has been tokenized and linguistically annotated with morphadorner. the annotation includes standard spellings that support the display of a text in a standardized format that preserves archaic forms ('loveth', 'seekest'). textual changes aim at restoring the text the author or stationer meant to publish. this text has not been fully proofread approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. earlyprint project evanston,il, notre dame, in, st. louis, mo a wing c estc r ocm this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons . universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

resolving with our self to appear in our own royall person at the head of those forces , for the better encouragement of all our good subjects . all which might have been performed long since , had not the siege of dunkirk , put a demur to our proceedings therein , it being a place very considerable and of great concernment as to the management of our so weighty undertakings ; our chief ends being , to restore religion in its purity , the lawes to their channel , the nobility and gentry to their estates , and all our loving subjects to their ancient liberties ; in effecting whereof , if not assisted by you , we do verily believe salvation will come some other way , and we shall by divine providence be restored to our royal and legal prerogatives ; yet we doubt not in the least but that many of our good subjects will so far provide towards our assistance , as to unite their heart in a joynt and hearty consent to so publick a good as concerns not only our self , but them and their posterities for ever . in the meantime , ( to prevent effusion of blood ) if propositions of peace shall be propounded by those at westminster , our ears shall be alwaies open unto them , and not only ready to receive them , but even to seek and solicit for them , when ever we can probably judge that they are a full and free parliament , and will not reject our overture , which with all possible expedition will come to their hands . and we are so far from denying to answer any propositions of peace sent by them , that we will and do promise , upon the word of a king , that if a treaty may be procured , we will use no hostile means , or other way which may be a hinderance therunto ; the sum of our demands being . the glory of god , in the maintenance of the true reformed protestant religion , the just and inseparable right of the crown , the just power and priviledges of parliament , and the lawful rights of all our good subjects : and all these under no ambiguous tearmes , whereby the contrary party have formerly deluded and mislead so many of our loving subjects , pretending that they have all along fought for the same . notwithstanding if no treaty can be procured , we shall hazzard our self to defend and maintain these our so just and legal demands , and for those who are obstinate , and refuse to joyn with us in the prosecution of these our just intentions , we do declare them unworthy of our assistance . nevertheless we know and do assure our selves , that few or none of our good subjects are ignorant of the heavy taxes that have been imposed upon them since our exilement , upon pain of plundring their goods , and and imprisonment of their persons , taking from them a fifth part of their yearly revenue , besides contribution ; plundring almost all men of quality in every county , to the undoing of many of our good . subjects ; and after these sufferings what an excise hath been set upon the bread and meat they eat , and which is far worse how our churches have been abused and made stables , robbing and defacing them , abolishing the true protestant religion , and instead thereof introduced so many religions as men shall fancy to themselves . we are likewise confident , that many of our good subjects are sensible of the happy government they and their ancestors have enjoyed under many godly and pious kings and queens ; therefore we will and require all our loving subjects seriously to consider how ever probable they can expect such dayes again , except they joyn with our self and our forces , to advance our throne and regal dignity . which will be the only means to make up the breaches in our poor massacred and divided kingdoms , procure a happy union betwixt our good subjects , prevent all future distractions , and we may obtaine honour from all christian princes , that religion , justice , loyalty and a free trade may flourish throughout our dominions . signed by our self at our court at brussels februry . . god save the king . antwerp , printed by his majesties speciall command . . by the king. a proclamation, declaring his majesties pleasure touching his royal coronation, and the solemnity thereof england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

god's will be done ; he is all-sufficient , and in him i wil repose my sole trust and confidence ; therefore i will not fear what man can do against me . he continues still at the palace-royall in paris ; his councel are very active to promote and carry on the design , and m. general massey is as busie as a little lord with the high and mighty states , to stir up the fire of revenge , which lyes glowing in the embers throughout the united provinces . we hear that the english are still at portelongone , where the dutch have got leave to come in , upon pretence , say they , to bury some eminent persons among them killed in the late fight ; having permission to bury their dead , they have interred of their commanders , among which the vice admiral is said to be one , with captains ; the english general having desired the governour of that place to furnish him with som pouder and shot for his money , he hath excused himself of a non-possibility , whereupon the same hath been supplied by way of porto ferraro . the two squadrons of english and dutch do remain very quiet to the ha●bor , not offering the least act of hostility one to the other , onely that the trumpeters of each pa●●●do daily sound severall challenges each to the o●h●r , to provoke them to fight ; the which to preve●● the governour hath caused more guns to be plant●●●pon the two bulworks that command th● 〈◊〉 to double the watch , and moreover hath 〈◊〉 of ●●●●●al brass-pieces of ordnanee to the town of piombino . great are the preparations for war throughout all the provinces ; but the most active and forward to engage are the english : yet there is a people who are loath to run the hazard of war , knowing that it is not a little ghelt must feed the flame , and want of trade will soon make a hole in the bottom of their purses . and so i leave them between hope and despair : god knows the future events , and not i. leyden . novemb. stilo novo . on munday being the eighth of this instant , we received intelligence , that sir george carteret is very busie with his pickeroons upon the western coast , seizing divers small vessels , but sometimes they snap short of their prey ; and instead of prize receive shipwrack . amongst the rest , a gallant ship richly laden with plunder'd plate , and other famous commodities , was bulg'd upon the sands neer corum in kent , and became a prey to the inhabitants thereabouts : she is by estimation deemed to be worth forty thousand pounds . two hundred sail of colliers are now bound from newcastle for london ; they put forth on the third of november , and are daily expected at the hope . general blake maintains the western seas , and expects the coming forth of the dutch fleet very suddenly . vantrump hath tendered an oath to all his officers and sea-men ; and unanimously they have vow'd to dispute their quarrel upon the neptune ocean to the last man . but it is the muzzle of the canon , and not such squibs must resolve our case . finis . new propositions from the king of scotland to the parliament of that kingdom with his last promise and condescensions and the proclaiming of a new proclamation for his highness ; also another bloudy fight in ireland .. the routing of generall oneal's army by the lord of ards, the raising of the siege at london-derry and the rallying of the marq. of ormond's forces and advancing within miles of dublin. england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a of text r in the english short title catalog (wing c a). textual changes and metadata enrichments aim at making the text more computationally tractable, easier to read, and suitable for network-based collaborative curation by amateur and professional end users from many walks of life. the text has been tokenized and linguistically annotated with morphadorner. the annotation includes standard spellings that support the display of a text in a standardized format that preserves archaic forms ('loveth', 'seekest'). textual changes aim at restoring the text the author or stationer meant to publish. this text has not been fully proofread approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page images. earlyprint project evanston,il, notre dame, in, st. louis, mo a wing c a estc r ocm this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons . universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

and his promise and condescensions to the desires of the parliament . sir , since the receipt of the intelligence from ireland , of the fatall blow there given to the prince his forces , the court hath continually rung with sorrow , and his highnesse is very sad and melancholy : since which time , there hath been a great disputation held by his privy councell , whose result was , that new propositions should be sent to the parl. of scotland , viz. that his declared majesty would wive his assent , for the setling of religion , according to the solemn league and covenans . that he would wholly apply his ear to the councell and advice of the estates conveened , provided , that respect might be had to the tender consciences of those who have adhered to or assisted him . but this will hardly be ; for he must either become a perfect covenanter , or else a despised prince . many of the royall party have caused proclamation to be made for charles the ii , for the raising of voluntiers , but few appears in that engagement , hague . augusti , . the newes is confirmed from dublin , ormond hath paid dear for his bowzing , taff , preston , and he being met together , thought they could destroy the parl-power , by drinking healths to their destruction , when it s in so many words a bull , whereas lieu. gen. jones came soberly upon them , and made them run several ways : it 's said , that in their hast they fell upon ballyshanon , have taken it , and are rallyed , being about twelve thousand within twelve miles of dublin and fallen to their old way of disputing passes : which when lost , they run to the next : they increase by the coming of forces to them , and say , if they recover not their reputation before michaelmas , they shal not keep ireland from a totall reducement within a year . the scots-resolution touching their king . first , that prevailing party of sectaries of england , who have broken the covenant , and despised the oath of god , corrupted the truth , subverted the fundamentall government , by king and parliament , and taken away the life , look upon us with an evill eye , as upon those who stand in the way of their monstrous and new-fingled devices , in religion and government , and though there were no cause to fear any thing for that party , but the gangrene and infection of those many damnable and abominable errors , which have taken hold on them , yet our vicinity unto and dayly to commerce with that nation , may justly make us afraid that the lord may give up many in this land unto a spirit of delusion , to beleeve lyes , because they have not received the love of truth . secondly , neither is the malignant party so far broken and brought low , as that they have abandoned all hopes of carrying on their former designes against the covenant , and work of reformation , besides many of them in this kingdom who are as foxes tyde in chaines , keeping in evill nature , and waiting opportunity to break their cords , and again to prey upon the lords people . that the standing armies in ireland , under the command of the marq. of ormond , the lord inchiqueen , the lord of airds , and george munroe , who forgetting the horrible cruelty that was exercised by the irish and english nations in that land , have entred into a peace and association with them , that they may the more easily carry on the old design of the popish , prelatical and malignant party , and the lord of airds , and george munroe , have by treachery and oppression , brought the province of ulster , and garrisons therein , under their power and command , and have redacted our country-men , and such as adhere unto the covenant and cause of god in that province unto many miseries and straits , and are like to banish the ministers of the gospell , and to overturn these fair beginnings of the worke of god , which were unto many a branch of hope , that the lord meant to make ireland a pleasant land . thirdly , but which is more grievous unto us then all these , our king notwithstanding of the lords hand , against his fathers opposition to the work of god , and bearing down all those in the three kingdomes , by which it is come to passe , that his majesty hath hitherto refused to grant the just and necessary desires of this kirk and kingdom , which were tendred unto him from the commissioners of both for securing of religion , the liberties of the subject , his mai government , and the peace of the kingdom ; and it is much to be feared that those wicked councellours may so far prevail upon him in his tender years , as to engage him in a war for ouerturning ( if it be possible ) of the work of god , and bearing down all those in the three kingdoms that adhere thereto , which if he shall do , cannot but bring great wrath from the lord upon himself and his throne , and must be the cause of many new and great miseries and calamities to these lands . and albeit the lands be involved in many difficulties and compassed about with great and imminent dangers ; yet ●here is hope and ground of consolation concerning this thing ; the lord is in the midst of us , and we are called by his name , our ears hear the joyfull sound of the gospell , add our eyes see our teachers . we behold the arm of the lord stretched out daily in working salvation for his people , and answering their desires upon their enemies , by terrible things in righteousnesse ; although we be few in number , yet the lord of hosts is with us , and in the power of his strength we shall be able to prevaile ; although our land be filled with sin , yet we have not been forsaken of the lord our god , but he hath always had compassion upon us , and delivered us in all our distresse ; although some of understanding fal , it is bot to try , and to purge , and to make white even to the end , because it is yet for a time appointed although many cleave to us by flatteries , yet there be a remnant w●● keep their integrity , and the lord shall do good to those that be good ; but such as turn aside to crooked ways , shall be led forth with the workers of iniquity . the lords people in england and ireland , who adhere to the cause and covenant , may be perplexed , but shall not despair , they may be persecuted but shall not be forsaken ; they may be cast down but shall not be destroyed ; and although uniformity and the work of reformation in these hands seem not only to be retarded , but almost pluckt up by the roots , and the foundation thereof razed ; yet the seed which the lord hath sowen there , shall again take root downward , and bear fruit upward , the zeal of the lord of hosts shall perform this . a. ker . right honoured , since the late blow given to the marq. of ormond by lieut. gen. jones , we hear that they are re-bodying about kilkenny and munster , and that in the said engagement thirteen thousand of the princes forces escaped , who are gathering together , and randezvouzing in severall places ; but the raising of the siege , and defeating that pote● power is joyfully rescented by many . we have received another express from thence , which intimates , that the d. of lorraign hath landed horse in ireland , and that a conjunction is designed by them with scots under the lord of ards , irish commanded by the earle of clanrickard , of the spanish faction commanded by gen. oneal , horse commanded by l. incihiquin , and the of ormonds that escaped at the last fight ; all which ( it is said ) intend a randezvouz neer kilkenny , who being bodyed , will make an army of and upwards , and may probably much indanger our friends in dublin , if a considerable supply be not speedily sent over to them . bristol . august , . yesterday came news , as if dredagh were re-taken or delivered up by the lord m●or , that sir charles coot since his relief by his brethren hath been abroad , disputed several passes with the enemy , and set the besiegers at a further distance . the lord of ards ( its said ) hath likewise fallen upon ge●erall oneal , and after a sharp conflict , killed many , took divers prisoners , and scattered the rest . finis . by the king, a proclamation for the re-printing, publishing, and using of a book, intituled, god and the king england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

and therefore you cannot but be the most proper counsellors for removing those mischiefs , and for preventing the like for the future : how great a trust we repose in you for the procuring and establishing a blessed peace and security for the kingdom , will appear to you by our enclosed declaration ; which trust , we are most confident you will discharge with that justice and wisdom , that becomes you , and must alwayes be expected from you ; and that upon your experience , how one violation succeeds another , when the known relations , and rules of justice , are once transgressed , you will be as jealous for the rights of the crown , and for the honour of your king , as for your selves : and then you cannot but discharge your trust with good success , and provide for , and establish the peace , happiness , and honour of king , lords , and commons , upon that foundation which can only support it , and vve shall be all happy in each other : and as the whole kingdom will bless god for you all , so vve shall hold our self obliged in an especiall manner to thank you in particular , according to the affection you shall express towards us . vve need the less enlarge to you upon this subject , because vve have likewise writ to the house of commons , which vve suppose they will communicate to you : and vve pray god to bless your joynt endeavours for the good of us all ;

and to satisfie the pride and ambition of a few ill men , would introduce the most arbitrary and tyrannical power that was ever yet heard of : how long we have all suffered under those and the like devices , all the world takes notice , to the no small reproach of the english nation , which we hope is now providing for its own security and redemption , and will be no longer bewitched by those inventions : how desirous we are to contribute to the obtaining the peace and happinesse of our subjects , without further effusion of blood ; and how far we are from desiring to recover what belongs to us by a war , if it can be otherwayes done , will appear to you by the enclosed declaration , which , together with this our letter , we have entrusted our right trusty and welbeloved cosin the lord viscount mordant , and our trusty and welbeloved servant , sir john greenvile knight , one of the gentlemen of our bed-chamber , to deliver to you ; to the end that you , and all the rest of our good subjects of that our city of london ( to whom we desire it should be published ) may know how far we are from the desire of revenge , or that the peace , happinesse , and security of the kingdom should be raised upon any other foundation than the affection and hearts of our subjects , and their own consents : we have not the least doubt of your just sense of those our condescentions , or of your zeal to advance and promote the same good end , by disposing all men to meet us with the same affection and tendernesse , in restoring the fundamental laws to that reverence that is due to them , and upon the preservation whereof all our happinesse depends : and you will have no reason to doubt of enjoying your full share in that happinesse , and of the improving it by our particular affection to you . it is very naturall for all men to do all the good they can for their native country , and to advance the honour of it . and as we have that full affection for the kingdom in general , so we would not be thought to be without some extraordinary kindnesse for our native city in particular , which we shall manifest on all occasions , not only by renewing their charter , and confirming all those priviledges which they have received from our predecessors , but by adding and granting any new favours which may advance the trade , wealth and honour of that our native city , for which we will be so solicitous , that we doubt not but that it will in due time receive some benefit and advantage in all those respects , even from our own observation and experience abroad ;

the importing , selling , venting , bartering , or exchanging of diverse commodities therein named , is prohibited and discharged , under the certifications and penalties exprest therein : and albeit we then understood that the importing , and venting of these prohibited commodities could hardly be restrained without a total prohibition had been given to the wearing thereof ; yet out of a tenderness to the merchants , who might have had great parts of their stocks in these commodities upon their hands , we thought it not then fit to make a total and immediate prohibition to the wearing , but ordained them to be put under bond , not to import any of these prohibited goods thereafter , nor to vent , sell , barter , or exchange any thereof , upon hazard of incurring the certifications contained therein : and notwithstanding there hath been more then sufficient time allowed to the merchants to have sold off these prohibited goods , yet upon pretext thereof , and of the abiguity of the words in the bond , that they are only obliged not to vent , sell , barter , or exchange any of these goods , that at the buying or receiving thereof were known to have been imported , contrary to the laws ; diverse persons have presumed to import , at the least to reset commodities unwarrantable imported , and to vent , sell , barter , and exchange the same , so that thereby the execution of the law hath been hitherto evacuated and eluded , and honest men , who out of conscience and duty have given obedience , in hazard to be ruined , and the trade and manufactory of the kingdom overturned and destroyed ; and although we had more then reason to have inforced the execution of the saids good laws , by the examplary punishment of persons most guilty : nevertheless we , according to our accustomed clemency , have thought fit to continue any sentence upon the process in dependence a gainst them , at the instance of our advocat , till we shall have occasion to know their future behaviour . and in the mean time , for explicating and making the said act of parliament effectual for the good ends therein designed , we with advice of our privy council hereby prohibit and discharge all merchants within this kingdom , or other trafficquers , men , or women , to buy , sell , or barter , or exchange with themselves , or among others , any cloaths , stuffs , sarges , holland , cambridge , silk stockings , or any goods made of wool , or lint , after tho date hereof , except they know and can be able to declare upon oath they were either made in the kingdom , or lawfully imported , preceding the prohibition contained in the act of parliament and proclamation aforesaid , under the penalties and certifications therein contained , to be inflicted on them , without favour or defalcation . and in respect diverse persons have , or may pretend to have such goods in their custody , as to which they cannot positively declare upon oath that they were imported before the prohibition , as having come through several hands : we do allow the merchants burgesses of edenburgh , and others , havers of such goods in their possession , before the date hereof ( who did take the bond , and give up inventar , and none others ) liberty to retail the same to the liedges , or export them out of the kingdom at any time betwixt this and the first of november next ;

and then imposed those pieces upon our poor subjects for pence , half-pence , or farthings , as the makers thereof were pleased to call them , whereby our subjects have been greatly defrauded , and our royal authority and the laws of our kingdom violated . and whereas we , for prevention of the like abuses for the time to come , did not onely direct a severe prosecution of the offenders , but did likewise command the officers of our mint to cause many thousands of pounds of good sterling silver to be coyned into single pence , and two-pences , that so there might be good money currant amongst the poorest of our subjects , and fitted for their smaller traffick and commerce ; hoping by one or both these means , to have totally suppressed the unlawful practices of these offenders ; since which time we have found by experience , that the mischief hath still encreased , partly by having our small silver moneys bought in and hoarded up , that so there might be a scarcity thereof in common payments : but chiefly by the vast gain and profit which these stampers make to themselves , and for which they choose to run any hazards of law , rather then quit the hopes of their private lucre : we therefore taking the premisses into our princely consideration , and believing that our subjects would not easily be wrought upon to accept the farthings and half-pence of these private stampers , if there were not some kind of necessity for such small coynes to be made for publique use , which cannot well be done in silver , nor safely in any other mettal , unless the intrinsick value of the coyn be equal , or near to that value for which it is made currant : have thought fit , by advice of our privy council , to cause certain farthings and half-pence of copper to be stamped at our mint , according to such form , and with such impression as we have directed : and we have given special charge to our officers there , that they cause such half-pence and farthings so to be coyned , to contain as much copper in weight , as shall be of the true intrinsick value and worth of an half-peny or farthing respectively , the charges of coyning and uttering being onely deducted . and we do further by this our royal proclamation declare , publish , and authorize the said half-pence and farthings of copper so coyned , and to be coyned , to be currant money ; and that the same from and after this instant th day of august , shall pass and be received in all payments , bargains , and exchanges to be had or made between our subjects , which shall be under the value of six pence , and not otherwise , nor in any other manner . and if any person or persons , bodies politique or corporate , shall after the first day of september next , presume to make , vend , or utter any pence , half-pence , farthings , or other pieces of brass , copper , or other base mettal , other then the half-pence and farthings by this our royal proclamation authorized and allowed ;

from hence great sir , the nations murmure , and your faith in those long sufferings gives you firm hopes that the day of your redemption is nigh , for this never fails in the consent of all nations , vox populi , vox dei : and therefore since god hath shewed unto the people a mark of his high displeasure by your exile , they are upon return , by which your majesty is encouraged to say amen . but this is not altogether my affair , the transact promulgation of the articles of peace and marriage with his majesty of france is unalterably true , and what therein concerns your majestie is also decreed , as i hope hath already in part appeared by the present forces of your own subjects drawn out by your majesties servants , and if need require there is other helps designed for you , yet finding an unwillingnesse in your councel to alarm your countries with forraigners ( if possibly avoided ) i must forbear to urge the kindnesse of my master , otherwise there had been a freedom answerable to your majesties ( i am sorry that i have occasion to say ) necessities , which indeed is rather a shame to your own subjects , of whom the heathens can with some remorse discourse , and amongst the christians under his catholick majestie ( although there wants union with you in matters of religious worship ) you are pitied in that the foundation is laid in christ our lord ; let your enemies therefore feare and tremble as in the presence of the lord , for the justnesse of your cause heightens my belief of their astonishment . and were it not for their present interest in ill gotten goods ;

shall not rip up the causes of unhappy differences betwixt our royall father and the two houses of parliament . it shall be our studie that they be for ever buryed , and that our subjects of england may returne to their obedience they owe us , as their lawfull king , and to the ancient and happy government of this kingdome by king , lords , and commons , ( wherein they and their ancestors have lived so long , so happily ) without the effusion of more blood . with these thoughts we are now entering into our kingdome of england , with an army , by the blessing of god able to protect our loyall subjects , who shall joyne with us , and assist us in doing justice upon the murtherers of our royall father , and to defend us from the violence of such as will continue the exclusion of us from our just rights , the sub-version of the lawfull government of this kingdome , and the oppression of our good subjects , by armies and exorbitant impositions : and before we enter the kingdome , we have thought fit by this short declaration to let our good-subjects there know , that our desires are not more to be restored to our owne rights , than to maintaine and procure to them their freedom . and as we have given full and entire satisfaction to our subjects of scotland both in what might concerne religion , their lawes and liberties , ( which god willing we shall inviolably preserve to them ) so it shall be our studie , ( and would be our greatest joy ) that we might attayne the same happynesse in england . and because we think our selves bound to looke more to the glory of god , then our owne interest , we doe in the first place declare , that we shall faithfully endeavour in our station and calling , as we are bound by covenant , to settle religion , in doctrine , worship , discipline and government , according to the word of god , and the example of the best reformed churches . we shall also endeavour that parliaments may be restored to their freedome , and priviledges , by whose advise , we doe declare our resolutions are to governe and settle all differences and distempers , that our people may enjoy their liberty , and property , free from army , quarterings , or illegall impositions . these being our cleare intentions and resolutions , we doe expect and invite all our good subjects of england , and dominion of wales , to concur with , and assist us according to their duty and allegeance : and such as are in armes either in scotland , or in england , under oliver cromwell , presently after knowledge hereof , to lay them downe , or to come in and joyne with us in our army , where they shall receive protection , and full assurance of satisfaction in their arreares . and to evidence how far we are from revenge , or continuing the unhappy differences betwixt us and our subjects , we doe declare and engage our selfe to give our consent to a full act of oblivion and indempnity for the security of all our subjects of england , and dominion of wales , in their persons , freedomes , and estates , for all things done by them relating to these wars these seven yeeres past , and that they shall never be called in question by us for any of them . provided that immediately after knowledge of this our gracious offer and declaration , they desist from assisting the usurped authority of the pretended common wealth of england , and returne to their obedience to us , excepting onely from this our gracious offer , oliver crumwell , henry ireton , john bradshaw , john cooke , their pretended solicitor , and all others who did actually sit , and vote in the murther of our royall father . and since in this service , we have made use of the affection and assistance of our loyall subjects of our kingdome of scotland , who cannot possibly maintaine their whole army in england , wee doe require some of quality , or authority , in each county , where we shall march , to come to us , that necessary provision may be regularly brought in to the army : and we doe declare , that the counties from which such shall come , shall receive no other prejudice , except such as doe oppose us . and because it shall be our maine endeavour , that the subjects of england and wales may be safe in their persons , free in their goods , and as little burthened as possible can be : this we are resolved , to permit no plundering , or rapines , or taking any mans person , ( who is not in actuall opposition of us ) which we shall not with all severity punish : so if our army should be forced to be more burthensome to some places and persons then to others , it shall be our endeavour , that as soone as is possible they may receive proportionall satisfaction , and the burthen be made equall . and lastly , we doe declare that the service being done , the scottish army shall quickly retire , that so all armies may be disbanded , and a lasting peace setled with religion and righteousnesse . given at our royall campe at woodhouse , neere the borders , the . of august , . by the king. a proclamation for speeding the payment of the arrears of seventy thousand pounds for three moneths assessments, due and

that out of a bitter sense and indignation of those horrid proceedings against our dear father , we are , according to the laws of nature and justice , firmly resolved , by the assistance of almighty god , though we perish alone in the enterpize , to bee a severe avenger of his innocent blood , which was so barbarously spilt , and which calls so lowd to heaven for vengeance . and we shall therin by all waies and meanes possible , endeavor to pursue & bring to their due punishment those bloody traytors who were either actors or contrivers of that unparalel'd and inhumane murther . and since it hath pleased god so to dispose , as by such an untimely martyrdome , to deprive us of so good a father , and england of so gracious a king ; we do further declare , that by his death the crown of england , with all priviledges , rights , and preheminences , belonging thereunto , is by a cleare and undoubted right of succession justly and lineally descended upon us , as next and immediate heyre and successor thereunto , without any condition or limitation , without any intermission or claim , without any ceremony or solemnity whatsoever ; and that by vertue thereof we are now in right lawfully seized of the said crown ; and ought by the laws of god and of that nation to enjoy a royall power there , as well in church as common wealth , to governe the people of that kingdome according to the antient and known lawes , to maintain them in peace and justice , and to protect and defend them from the oppression of any usurped power whatsoever . and the people of that nation , by the like lawes owe unto us , and ought reciprocally to pay duty and obedience unto us , as unto their liege lord and soveraigne . this royall right of ours is groundred upon so cleare a title ; is setled by such fundamentall lawes , confirmed by so many oathes of allegiance in all ages , is supported by such a long continued succession in our royall progenitors , and by such a constant submission of all the people , that the same can admit of no dispute , no act of our predecessors can debarre us of it , no power on earth can justly take it from us ; and by the undoubted lawes of that nation , to oppose us either in the claim or exercise thereof , is a treason of the highest degree . and although the bloody contrivers of our fathers murther ( out of a pernitious hatred to all monarchies ) have by force , as much as in them lies , disinherited us of our princely right thereunto , banished and proscribed us , seized all our revenues , prohibited all entercourse and supplies to bee sent to us , and have by violence imposed upon the people of england a new yoake of popular tyranny , to the utter subversion , not only of our just rights , but of their lawes and liberties . yet we do professe that we can not perswade our selfe , that the body of the english nation hath so farre degenerated from their antient loyalty and vertue , as to consent to these horrid proceedings against us , or to approve the casting off that kingly government , under which they and their fore-fathers have happily flourished so many ages past , to the envy of all their neighbour nations . how can that once happy nation of england despaire of blessed daies under a royall scepter , and vainely hope for them under the iron-rod of an insolent multitude ? no , wee cannot looke upon these sad and dismall changes , as the desires or intentions of the better part of our subjects of that kingdome ; but rather as the designes and contrivances of those wicked murtherers of our father , whose ambitions are endless , whose avarice is unsatiable , and whose guilt hath made them desperate . and therefore out of a confidence wee have of the loyalty and good affections of many of our subjects of that nation ; and as well for their encouragement who still persist in their naturall allegiance and obedience to us , as for the security of such as shall yet returne to their duties and loyalties ; wee have thought fit hereby further to declare , that wee are graciously pleased to receive all persons of our kingdome of england and dominion of wales ( other then such who voted or acted in that bloody murther of our deare father ) into our royall grace , mercy , and protection , w●●●g and esteeming them all as our good and loving subjects , whom upon accesse to our kingly authority , we shall hold our self bound according to the law of god , the known lawes of that nation , and the duty of our kingly office , to protect , maintain , and preserve in wealth , peace and happinesse . and for a cleare evidence of our good intentions towards them , wee shall be contented freely to pardon , or otherwise by act to declare , or hold indempnified , all persons within our said kingdom of england and dominion of wales ( except before excepted ) for any matter whatsoever relating to the late unhappy wars and distractions . and we shall ( according to the example of our deare father ) be ready upon the establishment of our royall throne , to make such further concessions , for the satisfaction & security of our good subjects in generall , & of all interests in particular , as shall be adjudged most to conduce to the peace and happinesse of that kingdom . and we doe further declare , that wee shall give our utmost assistance to restore parliaments to their antient dignity and honour , and shall preserve their just priviledges , and joyne to repaire all those injuries and affronts , which have beene done to the members of that high court . and because all waies of gaining a mutuall confidence , betwixt us and our good subjects , are at present obstructed , by the usurped force and power now prevalent in that kingdome , wee are therfore resolved to make use of such expedients as shall bee necessary for the suppression of that tyrannicall and unjust power now exercised over them ; and for bringing to their due punishment , those bloody murtherers of our deare father ; for shaking off the heavy burthens and taxes they now groane under ; and for restoring our just rights , and the antient liberties and freedome of the english nation ; not doubting but wee shall find all our good subjects ready to concurre , and to assist us in our just and pious undertakings for those ends . and in the meane time , wee require and command all our said subjects , according to their duty to god , their allegiance to us , their severall oathes and protestations , and the love and affection they beare to the peace of their native country , that they doe not betray their lawfull king , nor the glorious liberties and laws of england , into a perpetuall slavery , by acknowledgment or voluntary submission to any new formes or models of government ;

by which means it came to pass , that one church could not but accuse and condemn another of disobedience to the will of christ , in those things where manifest difference was between them : whereas the self-same orders allowed , but yet established in more wary and suspense manner , as being to stand in force till god should give the opportunity of some general conference what might be best for them afterwards to do ; this , i say , had both prevented all occasion of just dislike which others might take , and reserved a greater liberty unto the authors themselves of entring into farther consultation afterwards ; which , though never so necessary , they could easily now admit , without some fear of derogation from their credit : and therefore that which once they had done , they became for ever after resolute to maintain . now if we consider the shortness of that time wherein our first reformation continued under edward the sixth ; and the persecution in queen mary's reign , which forced many pious and learned clergymen of the church of england , to flee into foreign countries ( as zurick , embden , basil , strasburg , frankford , geneva , &c. ) for the preservation of their religion and lives , where they frequently conversed with those eminent divines , who were the great reformers there ; 't is no wonder that some of them should return better pleased with their discipline than their own , especially considering that several of them had intimate acquaintance and conversation with one of the reformers , whom the reverend mr. hooker thought incomparably the wisest man man that ever the french church did enjoy since the hour it enjoyed him . in queen elizabeth's , king iames , and k. charles the first 's reigns , 't is well known how our differences increased , until that unhappy war broke out ; by which the non-conforming interest prevailed ; so that the presbyterian discipline was endeavoured to be fixed as the established form of government in this nation ; our universities , preachers , writings , education , &c. were generally modelled thereto ; by which means , the greatest number of the trading part of the kingdom , several of the gentry , and some few of the nobility ( observing the precepts and practices , lifes and deaths of many of that clergy to be pious and exemplary ( joyned with them of this , or the like perswasion . since which time , it pleasing god to restore king charles ii. the parliament thought it convenient to establish the same discipline which our first reformers judged prudential , and that ( as the dissenters do complain ) upon stricter subscriptions than formerly , not abating or laying aside any of those ceremonies which have been matters of dispute and contention betwixt them and the church of england ever since our blessed reformation from popery and superstition : upon which account , many of the non-conforming divines laid down their livings , and the old controversies began afresh to be revived ; and so are like to be continued , until we be either ruined by popery , or healed by moderation , which is the only salve to cure the churches wounds , and that admirable remedy formerly proposed to the wisdom of superiours by the reverend dr. stillingfleet ; who having highly commended the prudence and temper of the french churches in composing their publick forms of prayer , that they were so far from inserting any thing controversial into them , that papists themselves would use them . and saith he , the same temper was used by our reformers in the composing our liturgy in reference to the papists , to whom they had an especial eye , as being the only party then appearing ; whom they desired to draw into their communion , by coming as near them as they well and safely could . and certainly those holy men who did seek by any means to draw in others at such a distance from their principles as the papists were , did never intend by what they did for that end , to exclude any truly tender consciences from their communion . that which they laid as a bait for them , was never intended by them as a hook for those of their own profession . but the same or greater reason which made them at that time yield so far to them then , would now have perswaded them to alter and lay aside those things which yield matter of offence to any of the same profession with themselves now : for surely none will be so uncharitable toward those ; of his own profession , as not to think there is as much reason to yield in compliance with them , as with the papists . and it cannot but be looked upon as a token of god's severe displeasure against us , if any , though unreasonable proposals of peace between us and the papists , should meet with such entertainment among many , and yet any fair offers of vnion and accomodation among our selves be so coldly embraced and entertained . thus far our reverend and learned dean of pauls delivered his opinion as to these matters of dispute near thirty years a-gone , before the laws were established against dissenters . and in his book , entituled , the unreasonableness of separation , ( wrote twenty years after the former ) he hath given the world such a testimony of his real kindness to dissenters , ( notwithstanding his hard usuage from them ) and of his sincere and hearty desire to heal our unhappy breaches , and unite our unchristian divisions , as will for ever consecrate his memory to posterity . upon these and some other like considerations , i should humbly propose to the wisdom of this present parliament , some probable means to put an end to our present differences , and to unite us for the future ; that so we may become a flourishing nation , free from the factions and divisions of former ages . proposals for our present vniting . . i humbly propose , that the ceremonies at present enjoyned by law , might be left to the liberty of the clergy to use or lay aside , and that , because the dissenters on the one hand are perswaded that their conformity to them would be sinful ; and the church of england on the other hand hath declared at several times that they are things indifferent , and may be changed . upon our first reformation in the account she hath given of ceremonies , why some be abolished , and some retained , she saith thus , that as those ceremonies were taken away which were most abused , and did burthen mens consciences without any cause ; so the other that remain are retained for discipline and order , which ( upon just causes may be altered , and changed . again , since his majesties restauration , in her preface to the common-prayer , are these words , that the particular forms of divine worship , and the rites and ceremonies appointed to be used , being things in their own nature indifferent and alterable , and so acknowledged ; it is but reasonable that upon weighty and important considerations , according to the various exigency of times and occasions , such changes should be made therein , as to those that are in place of authority , should from time to time seem either necessary or expedient . accordingly we find that in the reigns of several princes of blessed memory since the reformation , the church upon just and weighty considerations her thereunto moving , hath yielded to make such alterations in some some particulars , as in their respective times were thought convenient . thus far the church of england . and of late i find that a very eminent member thereof , the reverend dean of canterbury , hath aequainted us in a publick sermon preached by him at the yorkshire-feast , that though it was not for private persons to undertake in matters of publick concernment , yet he thought he had no cause to doubt but the governours of our church ( notwithstanding all the advantages of authority and reason too , as they thought , on their side ) were persons of that piety and prudence , that for peace sake , and in order to a firm vnion amongst protestants , they would be content , if that would do it , not to insist upon little things , but to yield them up , whether to the infirmity or importunity , or , perhaps , in some very few things , to the plausible exceptions of those who differed from them . the reverend dr. sherlock , in a sermon lately preached before the lord mayor , hath likewise most charitably and piously declared his thoughts about these matters of difference in the following words . we have reason to hope , that the church of england , which at the beginning of the reformation took such prudent care not to offend the papists going farther from them , than was necessary ; will , whenever it is likely to do good , condescend a great deal farther than it is necessary to reform , to meet the dissenter ; for while the external decency , gravity , and solemnity of worship is secured ; no wise and good man will think much to change a changeable ceremony , when it will heal the breaches and divisions of the church . and let us all heartily pray to god that there may be this good and peaceable disposition of mind in all conformists , and non-conformists towards a happy re-union ; and all considering men will think it time to lay aside such little disputes , when it is not meerly the church of england , nor any particular sect of protestants , whose ruin is aimed at , but the whole protestant faith. and as a farther confirmation of the readiness , not only of our divines , but of the fathers of our church to incourage so glorious a work , his grace of canterbury , and the rest of the petitioning bishops , did in their famous petition ( for which they were sent prisoners to the tower ) assure his majesty , that they did not refuse to distribute and publish his declaration for liberty of conscience , from any want of due tenderness to dissenters ; in relation to whom they were willing to come to such a temper , as should be thought fit , when that matter should be considered and setled in parliament and convocation . and not long after another company of bishops who were sent for by the late king iames , to give him their advice , ( in ( in several important affairs of the nation ) among other things , proposed , that a free parliament should establish a due liberty of conscience . the archbishop of canterbury was to earnest to promote this so christian design , that among those admirable articles recommended by his grace to all the bishops within his province , ( which were to be more fully insisted upon in their addresses to the clergy and people of their respective diocesses ) this was one : that they also walk in wisdom towards those that are not of our communion : and if there be in their parishes any such , that they neglect not frequently to confer with them in the spirit of meekness , seeking by all good ways and means to gain and win them over to our communion : more especially that they have a very tender regard to our brethren the protestant dissenters ; that upon occasion offered , they visit them at their houses , and receive them kindly at their own , and treat them fairly wherever they meet them ; perswading them ( if it may be ) to a full compliance with our church , or at least , that whereunto we have already attained , we may all walk by the same rule and mind the same thing . and in order hereunto , that they take all opportunities of assuring and convincing them , that the bishops of this church are really and sincerely irreconcilable to the errors , superstitions , idolatries and tyrannies of the church of rome . and that they warmly and most affectionately exhort them , to joyn with us in daily fervent prayer to the god of peace , for an vniversal blessed vnion of all the reformed churches both at home and abroad , against our common enemies , and that all they who do confess the holy name of our dear lord , and do agree in the truth of his holy word , may also meet in one holy communion , and live in perfect vnity and godly love. now seeing the church of england once and again declared her excellent temper and moderation for the preservation of peace and unity ( the great end and design of all church-government ) we have little reason to question her readiness ( at such a time as this is ) to comply with so modest a proposal , as a liberty of using or refusing those ceremonies , which she saith , in their own nature are indifferent and alterable , and upon weighty and important considerations , may be changed , &c. or to grant her consent to such a subscription , in relation to those articles which concern the government and discipline of the church , as are proposed by the learned dean of s. paul's , in the appendix ; especially considering that by this condescention of hers , she will certainly bring into her communion a great number of pious , moderate , and more considerative non-conformists : which will not only add strength to her self , but give a great joy and content to all those who have wish'd well to the peace , unity , and prosperity of this our church and nation ; to which end it would not be amiss that a strict injunction should be laid on the clergy and people to forbear all harsh and unchristian language one towards another , and to observe the apostles rule , of not judging one another . . i would likewise humbly propose , that the rest of the protestant dissenters might be indulged by act of parliament ; provided they neither preached , wrote , nor discours'd against the doctrine or government of the church as by law established ; and that , because charity , which is kind , and thinks no evil , would oblige a sober and indifferent person to believe that the reason of their separation from our church , did chiefly proceed from a tenderness of conscience ( impressed upon them by the force of their education , study , conversation , &c. ) lest in complying with the present established form of worship , they should sin against god , and wound the peace of their own souls : for otherwise , their own present quiet and interest must necessarily have obliged ▪ them to a compliance , they having been under a continual danger and hazard of the execution of the laws established against them ; whereby they have been not only deprived of that maintenance which by the countenance of authority they might otherwise have expected and publickly enjoyed , but exposed to many wants , difficulties , and sufferings . proposals for preventing future divisions . i humbly propose to the wisdom of this present parliament , that an act might be passed , whereby every person ( after a limited term of years ) intending to take holy orders should be incapacitated for any church-preferment , or for a license to preach in private congregations ; who could not give a satisfactory account to the bishop of the diocess where he intended to settle , of his proficiency and ability in church-history and primitive learning , whereby he might be able to give a clear and plain account of what discipline and order were used in the church of god nearest our saviour's and the apostles days ; when differences and errours in doctrine or church-government began first to arise ; with the authors , occasion , and effects thereof . the advantages which must necessarily attend the making of such a law , would be very great both to our interest in church and state ; amongst which i beg leave to name the following . . we might hereby ( for the future ) more assuredly hope for , and expect peace and union amongst our church-men , who having been all well acquainted with primitive learning and practice , with the rise and growth of all heresies , schisms , and divisions in the church , and with the fatal consequences which have attended them ; they would not more rationally than unanimously make choice of one and the same form of worship and discipline , but most heartily unite in their affections to one another , endeavouring with all their strength and power to maintain the church in peace and unity . . by this means we might be assured to enjoy the most learned clergy that ever this nation brought forth , who would not only prove a great bulwark against popery on the one hand , but schism and faction on the other ; and being to well accomplished for the ministerial function ( before they enter into it ) might much more assuredly engage the affection and hearts of their people , by spending ( in private ) the greatest part of the week in instructing them in the principles , and encouraging them in the practice of the christian religion ; a duty , alas , too much neglected in our days ! . we may then hope for preferments to answer every man's merit ; one of the principal reasons why we have more clergy-men than livings , seeming to be this , that a great number of ordinary tradesmen and farmers do send their children to the universities ( being ambitious to make them gentlemen ) though they are unable to maintain them there above three or four years ; in which time such accomplishments are not to be attained as are required by this proposal ; if therefore such a law ( as this ) were once established , they would be willing to bring them up to honest professions and trades , much more suitable for them ; and persons of better estate and quality would be encouraged to bring up their children in the universities , and continue them there until they arrived to that pitch of learning , which would not only render them the honour of their own , but the envy of foreign nations , and also capacitate them for the enjoyment of a preferment suitable to their parents charge , and their own pains and industry ; especially if the king would appropriate the first-fruits and tenths of all ecclesiastical preferments ; or the parliament should think fit to raise a sum of mony for the purchasing impropriations , and endowing livings with such a competency as might enable the incumbents to provide comfortably for themselves and families , and to keep up decent hospitality in their neighbourhood , and would annex those impropriations ( when purchased ) to the bishops and chapters of each diocess , who are to be presumed to be the most competent judges of the abilities of all persons to be entrusted with the care of souls : and for the more effectual success of this important affair , let the bishops be obliged every year to call upon the universities for the names of the most pious , learned and industrious persons in their several colleges . in short , i heartily wish that we might often and seriously remember our blessed saviours prediction , that a kingdom divided against it self , cannot stand ; and likewise consider that fate which attended the faction and division of the iews ; which grew to that height , that they could not forbear destroying each other , even when their declared enemies the romans were coming to besiege their city . from which , good lord deliver us . appendix . his majesty's declaration to all his loving subjects of his kingdom of england and dominion of wales , concerning ecclesiastical affairs . charles r. how much the peace of the state is concerned in the peace of the church , and how difficult a thing it is to preserve order and government in civil , whilest there is no order or government in ecclesiastical affairs , is evident to the world ; and this little part of the world , our own dominions , hath had so late experience of it , that we may very well acquiesce in the conclusion , without enlarging our self in discourse upon it , it being a subject we have had frequent occasion to contemplate upon , and to lament , abroad as well as at home . in our letter to the speaker of the house of commons from breda , we declared how much we desired the advancement and propagation of the protestant religion ; that neither the unkindness of those of the same faith towards us , nor the civilities and obligations from those of a contrary profession ( of both which we have had abundant evidence ) could in the least degree startle us , or make us swerve from it , and that nothing can be proposed to manifest our zeal and affection for it , to which we will not readily consent , and we said then , that we did hope in due time , our self to propose somewhat for the propagation of it , that will satisfie the world , that we have always made it both our care and our study , and have enough observed what is most like to bring disadvantage to it . and the truth is , we do think our self the more competent to propose , and with god's assistance to determine many things now in difference , from the time we have spent , and the experience we have had in most of the reformed churches abroad , in france , in the low-countries , and in germany , where we have had frequent conferences , with the most learned men , who have unanimously lamented the great reproach the protestant religion undergoes from the distempers and too notorious schisms in matters of religion in england : and as the most learned among them have always with great submission and reverence acknowledged and magnified the established government of the church of england , and the great countenance and shelter the protestant religion received from it , before these unhappy times ; so many of them have with great ingenuity and sorrow confessed , that they were too easily misled by mis-information and prejudice into some dis-esteem of it , as if it had too much complyed with the church of rome ; whereas they now acknowledg it to be the best fence god hath yet raised against popery in the world ; and we are perswaded they do with great zeal wish it restored to its old dignity and veneration . when we were in holland , we were attended by many grave and learned ministers from hence , who were looked upon as the most able and principal assertors of the presbyterian opinions , with whom we had as much conference as the multitude of affairs which were then upon us would permit us to have ; and to our great satisfaction and comfort found them persons full of affection to us , of zeal for the peace of the church and state , and neither enemies ( as they have been given out to be ) to episcopacy or liturgy , but modestly to desire such alterations in either , as without shaking foundations , might best allay the present distempers , which the indisposition of the time , and the tenderness of some mens consciences had contracted ; for the better doing whereof , we did intend , upon our first arrival in this kingdom to call a synod of divines , as the most proper expedient to provide a proper remedy for all those differences and dis-satisfactions which had or should arise in matters of religion ; and in the mean time , we published in our declaration from breda a liberty to tender consciences , and that no man should be disquieted or called in question for differences of opinion in matter of religion , which do not disturb the peace of the kingdom , and that we shall be ready to consent to such an act of parliament as upon mature deliberation shall be offered to us , for the full granting that indulgence . whilest we continued in this temper of mind and resolution , and have so far complyed with the perswasion of particular persons , and the distemper of the time , as to be contented with the exercise of our religion in our own chapel , according to the constant practice and laws established , without enjoyning that practice , and the observation of those laws in the churches of the kingdom ; in which we have undergone the censure of many , as if we were without that zeal for the church which we ought to have , and which by god's grace , we shall always retain ; we have found our self not so candidly dealt with as we have deserved , and that there are unquiet and restless spirits , who without abating any of their own distemper in recompence of the moderation they find in us , continue their bitterness against the church , and endeavour to raise jealousies of us , and to lessen our reputation by their reproaches , as if we were not true to the professions vve have made : and in ●●der thereunto , they have very unseasonably caused to be printed , published , and dispersed throughout the kingdom a declaration heretofore printed in our name during the time of our being in scotland , of which we shall say no more than that the circumstances by which we were enforced to sign that declaration , are enough known to the world ; and that the worthiest and greatest part of that nation did even then detest and abhorr the ill usage of us in that particular , when the same tyranny was exercised there by the power of a few ill men , which at that time had spread it self over this kingdom , and therefore we had no reason to expect that we should at this season , when we are doing all we can to wipe out the memory of all that hath been done amiss by other men , and , we thank god , have wiped it out of our own remembrance , have been our self assaulted with those reproaches ; which we will likewise forget . since the printing this declaration , several seditious pamphlets and quaeries have been published and scattered abroad , to infuse dislike and jealousies into the hearts of the people , and of the army , and some who ought rather to have repented the former mischief they have wrought , than to have endeavoured to improve it , have had the hardiness to publish , that the doctrine of the church , against which , no man with whom we have conferred hath excepted , ought to be reformed as well as the discipline . this over-passionate and turbulent way of proceeding , and the impatience we find in many for some speedy determination in these matters , whereby the minds of men may be composed , and the peace of the church established , hath prevailed with us to invert the method we had proposed to our self , and even in order to the better calling and composing of a synod ( which the present jealousies will hardly agree upon ) by the assistance of god's blessed spirit , which we daily invoke and supplicate , to give some determination our self to the matters in difference , until such a synod may be called , as may without passion or prejudice , give us such farther assistance towards a perfect union of affections , as well as submission to authority , as is necessary : and we are the rather induced to take this upon us , by finding upon the full conference we have had with the learned men of several perswasions , that the mischiefs , under which both the church and state do at present suffer , do not result from any form'd doctrine or conclusion which either party mainta●● 〈◊〉 avows , but from the passion and appetite , and interest of particular persons , who contract greater prejudice to each other , from those affections , than would naturally rise from their opinions ; and those distempers must be in some degree allayed , before the meeting in a synod can be attended with better success , than their meeting in other places , and their discourses in pulpits have hitherto been ; and till all thoughts of victory are laid aside , the humble and necessary thoughts for the vindication of truth cannot be enough entertained . we must for the honour of all those of either perswasion with whom we have conferred , declare that the professions and desires of all for the advancement of piety and true godliness , are the same ; their professions of zeal for the peace of the church , the same ; of affection and duty to us , the same ; they all approve episcopacy ; they all approve a set form of liturgy ; and they all disprove and dislike the sin of sacriledge , and the alienation of the revenue of the church ; and if upon these excellent foundations , in submission to which there is such a harmony of affections , any superstructures should be raised , to the shaking those foundations , and to the contracting and lessening the blessed gift of charity , which is a vital part of christian religion , we shall think our self very unfortunate , and even suspect that we are defective in that administration of government , with which god hath entrusted us. we need not profess the high affection and esteem we have for the church of england as it is established by law ; the reverence to which hath supported us with gods blessing , against many temptations ; nor do we think that reverence in the least degree diminished by our condescentions , not peremptorily to insist on some particulars of ceremony , which , however introduced by the piety and devotion ; and order of former times , may not be so agreeable to the present , but may even lessen that piety and devotion , for the improvement whereof they might happily be first introduced , and consequently may well be dispensed with ; and we hope this charitable compliance of ours will dispose the minds of all men to a chearful submission to that authority , the preservation whereof is so necessary for the unity and peace of the church ; and that they will acknowledge the support of the episcopal authority , to be the best support of religion , by being the best means to contain the minds of men within the rules of government : and they who would restrain the exercise of that holy function within the rules which were observed in the primitive times , must remember and consider , that the ecclesiastical power being in those blessed times always subordinate and subject to the civil ; it was likewise proportioned to such an extent of jurisdiction as was most agreeable to that ; and as the sanctity and simplicity , and resignation of that age , did then refer many things to the bishops , which the policy of succeeding ages would not admit , at least did otherwise provide for ; so it can be no reproach to primitive episcopacy , if where there have been great alterations in the civil government , from what was then , there have been likewise some difference and alteration in the ecclesiastical , the essence and foundation being still preserved . and upon this ground , without taking upon us to censure the government of the church in other countries , where the government of the state is different from what it is here , or enlarging our self upon the reasons why , whilst there was an imagination of erecting a democratical government here in the state , they should be willing to continue an aristocratical government in the church ; it shall suffice to say , that since by the wonderful blessing of god , the hearts of this whole nation are returned to an obedience to monarchick government in the state , it must be very reasonable to support that government in the church which is established by law , and with which the monarchy hath flourished through so many ages , and which is in truth as ancient in this island as the christian monarchy thereof ; and which hath always in some respects or degrees been enlarged or restrained , as hath been thought most conducing to the peace and happiness of the kingdom ; and therefore we have not the least doubt but that the present bishops will think the present concessions now made by us to allay the present distempers , very just and reasonable , and will very chearfully conform themselves thereunto . . we do in the first place declare our purpose and resolution is and shall be , to promote the power of godliness , to encourage the exercises of religion , both publick and private , and to take care that the lord's day be applied to holy exercises , without unnecessary divertisments ; and that insufficient , negligent , and scandalous ministers be not permitted in the church ; and that as the present bishops are known to be men of great and exemplar piety in their lives , which they have manifested in their notorious and unexampled sufferings during these late distempers ; and of great and known sufficiency of learning ; so we shall take special care , by the assistance of god , to prefer no men to that office and charge , but men of learning , vertue , and piety , who may be themselves the best examples to those who are to be governed by them ; and we shall expect , and provide the best we can , that the bishops be frequent preachers , and that they do very often preach themselves in some church of their diocess , except they be hindred by sickness , or other bodily infirmities , or some other justifiable occasion , which shall not be thought justifiable if it be requent . . because the diocesses , especially some of them , are thought to be of too large extent : we will appoint such a number of suffragan bishops in every diocess as shall be sufficient for the due performance of their work . . no bishop shall ordain , or exercise any part of jurisdiction which appertains to the censures of the church , without the advice and assistance of the presbyters ; and no chancellors , commissaries , or officials , as such , shall exercise any act of spiritual jurisdiction in these cases ( viz. ) excommunication , absolution , or wherein any of the ministry are concerned , with reference to their pastoral charge . however our intent and meaning is to uphold and maintein the profession of the civil law so far and in such matters as it hath been of use and practice within our kingdoms and dominions ; albeit as to excommunication , our will and pleasure is , that no chancellor , commissary , or official shall decree any sentence of excommunication or absolution , or be judges in those things wherein any of the ministry are concerned , as is aforesaid . nor shall the arch-deacon exercise any jurisdiction without the advice and assistance of six ministers of his arch-deaconcy , whereof three to be nominated by the bishop , and three by the election of the major part of the presbyters within the arch-deaconry . . to the end that the deans and chapters may be the better fitted to afford counsel and assistance to the bishops , both in ordination and the other offices mentioned before ; we will take care that those preferments be given to the most learned and pious presbyters of the diocess ; and moreover that an equal number ( to those of the chapter ) of the most learned , pious , and discreet presbyters of the same diocess , annually chosen by the major vote of all the presbyters of that diocess present at such elections , shall be always advising and assisting , together with those of the chapter , in all ordinations , and in every part of jurisdiction which appertains to the censures of the church , and at all other solemn and important actions in the exercise of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction , wherein any of the ministry are concerned : provided that at all such meetings , the number of the ministers so elected , and those present of the chapter shall be equal , and not exceed one the other , and that to make the numbers equal , the juniors of the exceeding number be withdrawn that the most ancient may take place : nor shall any suffragan bishop ordain or exercise the fore-mentioned offices and acts of spiritual jurisdiction , but with the advice and assistance of a sufficient number of the most judicious and pious presbyters annually chosen as aforesaid within his precincts : and our will is that the great work of ordination be constantly and solemnly performed by the bishop and his aforesaid presbytery , at the four set times and seasons appointed by the church for that purpose . . we will take care that confirmation be rightly and solemnly performed , by the information , and with the consent of the minister of the place ; who shall admit none to the lord's supper , till they have made a credible profession of their faith , and promised obedience to the will of god ; according as is expressed in the considerations of the rubrick before the catechism ; and that all possible diligence be used for the instruction and reformation of scandalous offenders , whom the minister shall not suffer to partake of the lord's table , until they have openly declared themselves to have truly repented and amended their former naughty lives , as is partly exprest in the rubrick , and more fully in the canons ; provided there be place for due appeals to superiour powers . but besides the suffragans and their presbytery , every rural dean ( those deans , as heretofore , to be nominated by the bishop of the diocess ) together with three or four ministers of that deanery , chosen by the major part of all the ministers within the same , shall meet once in every month , to receive such complaints as shall be presented to them by the ministers or church-wardens of the respective parishes ; and also to compose all such differences betwixt party and party , as shall be referred unto them by way of arbitration , and to convince offenders , and reform all such things as they find amiss by their pastoral reproofs and admonitions , if they may be so reformed : and such matters as they cannot by this pastoral and perswasive way compose and reform , are by them to be prepared for , and presented to the bishop ; at which meeting any other ministers of that deanery , may , if they please , be present and assist . moreover , the rural dean and his assistants are in their respective divisions to see that the children and younger sort be carefully instructed by the respective ministers of every parish , in the grounds of christian religon , and be able to give a good account of their faith and knowledge , and also of their christian conversation conformable thereunto , before they be confirmed by the bishop , or admitted to the sacrament of the lord's supper . . no bishop shall exercise any arbitrary power , or do or impose any thing upon the clergy or the people , but what is according to the known law of the land. . we are very glad to find , that all with whom we have conferred , do in their judgments approve a liturgy , or set form of publick worship , to be lawful ; which in our judgment , for the preservation of unity and uniformity , we conceive to be very necessary : and though we do esteem the liturgy of the church of england , conteined in the book of common prayer , and by law established , to be the best we have seen ; and we believe that we have seen all that are extant and used in this part of the world , and well know what reverence most of the reformed churches , or at least the most learned men in those churches have for it ; yet since we find some exceptions made against several things therein . we will appoint an equal number of learned divines of both perswasions , to re-view the same , and to make such alterations as shall be thought most necessary ; and some additional forms ( in the scripture phrase , as near as may be ) suited unto the nature of the several parts of worship , and that it be left to the ministers choice to use one or other at his discretion . in the mean time , and till this be done , although we do heartily wish and desire , that the ministers in their several churches , because they dislike some clauses and expressions , would not totally lay aside the use of the book of common prayer , but read those parts against which there can be no exception ; which would be the best instance of declining those marks of distinction , which we so much labour and desire to remove ; yet in compassion to divers of our good subjects , who scruple the use of it , as now it is . our will and pleasure is , that none be punished or troubled for not using it , until it be reviewed , and effectually reformed , as aforesaid . . lastly , concerning ceremonies , which have administred so much matter of difference and contention , and which have been introduced by the wisdom and authority of the church , for edification , and the improvement of piety : we shall say no more , but that we have the more esteem of all , and reverence for many of them , by having been present in many of those churches where they are most abolished , or discountenanced ; and it cannot be doubted , but that , as the universal church cannot introduce one ceremony in the worship of god , that is contrary to god's word expressed in the scripture ; so every national church , with the approbation and consent of the sovereign power , may , and hath always introduced such particular ceremonies , as in that conjuncture of time are thought most proper for edification and the necessary improvement of piety and devotion in the people , though the necessary practice thereof cannot be deduced from scripture ; and that which before was , and in it self is indifferent , ceases to be indifferent , after it is once established by law : and therefore our present consideration and work is , to gratifie the private consciences of those who are grieved with the use of some ceremonies , by indulging to , and dispensing with their omitting those ceremonies ; not utterly to abolish any which are established by law , ( if any are practised contrary to law , the same shall cease ) which would be unjust , and of ill example ; and to impose upon the conscience of some , for the satisfaction of the conscience of others , which is otherwise provided for . as it could not be reasonable that men should expect , that we should our self decline , or enjoyn others to do so , to receive the blessed sacrament upon our knees , which in our conscience is the most humble , most devout , and most agreeable posture for that holy duty , because some other men , upon reasons best , if not only known to themselves , choose rather to do it fitting or standing : we shall leave all decisions and determinations of that kind , if they shall be thought necessary for a perfect and entire unity and uniformity throughout the nation , to the advice of a national synod , which shall be duly called , after a little time , and a mutual conversation between persons of different perswasions , hath mollified those distempers , abated those sharpnesses , and extinguished those jealousies which make men unfit for those consultations ; and upon such advice , we shall use our best endeavor that such laws may be established , as may best provide for the peace of the church and state. provided that none shall be denied the sacrament of the lord's supper , though they do not use the gesture of kneeling in the act of receiving . in the mean time , out of compassion and compliance towards those who would forbear the cross in baptism , we are content that no man shall be compelled to use the same , or suffer for not doing it : but if any parent desire to have his child christned according to the form used , and the minister will not use the sign , it shall be lawful for that parent to procure another minister to do it : and if the proper minister shall refuse to omit that ceremony of the cross , it shall be lawful for the parent , who would not have his child so baptised , to procure another minister to do it , who will do it according to his desire . no man shall be compelled to bow at the name of jesus , or suffer in any degree for not doing it , without reproaching those who out of their devotion continue that ancient ceremony of the church . for the use of the surplice , we are contented that all men be left to their liberty to do as they shall think fit , without suffering in the least degree for wearing , or not wearing it ; provided , that this liberty do not extend to our own chappel , cathedral , or collegiate churches , or to any colledge in either of our universities ; but that the several statutes and customs for the use thereof in the said places , be there observed as formerly . and because some men , otherwise pious and learned , say , they cannot conform unto the subscription required by the canon , nor take the oath of canonical obedience ; we are content , and it is our will and pleasure , ( so they take the oaths of allegiance and supremacy ) that they shall receive ordination , institution , and induction , and shall be permitted to exercise their function , and to enjoy the profits of their livings , without the said subscription or oath of canonical obedience : and moreover , that no persons in the universities shall for the want of such subscription be hindred in the taking of their degrees . lastly , that none be judged to forfeit his presentation or benefice , or be deprived of it , upon the statute of the thirteenth of queen elizabeth , chapter the twelth , so he read and declare his assent to all the articles of religion , which only concern the confession of the true christian faith , and the doctrine of the sacraments comprised in the book of articles in the said statute mentioned . in a word , we do again renew what we have formerly said in our declaration from breda , for the liberty of tender consciences , that no man shall be disquieted or called in question for differences of opinion in matters of religion , which do not disturb the peace of the kingdom ; and if any have been disturbed in that kind since our arrival here , it hath not proceeded from any direction of ours . to conclude , and in this place to explain what we mentioned before , and said in our letter to the house of commons from breda , that we hoped in due time , our self to propose somewhat for the propagation of the protestant religion , that will satisfie the world , that we have always made it both our care and our study , and have enough observed what is most like to bring disadvantage to it : we do conjure all our loving subjects to acquiesce in , and submit this our declaration concerning those differences which have so much disquieted the nation at home , and given such offence to the protestant churches abroad , and brought such reproach upon the protestant religion in general , from the enemies thereof ; as if upon obscure notions of faith and fancy , it did admit the practice of christian duties and obedience to be discountenanced and suspended , and introduce a licence in opinions and manners , to the prejudice of the christian faith. and let us all endeavour , and emulate each other in those endeavours , to countenance and advance the protestant religion abroad , which will be best done by supporting the dignity and reverence due to the best reformed protestant church at home ; and which being once freed from the calumnies and reproaches it hath undergone from these late ill times , will be the best shelter for those abroad , which will by that countenance both be the better protected against their enemies , and be the more easily induced to compose the differences amongst themselves , which give their enemies more advantage against them : and we hope and expect that all men will henceforward forbear to vent any such doctrine in the pulpit , or to endeavour to work in such manner upon the affections of the people , as may dispose them to an ill opinion of us and the government , and to disturb the peace of the kingdom . which if all men will in their several vocations endeavour to preserve with the same affection and zeal we our self will do ; all our good subjects will by gods blessing upon us enjoy as great a measure of felicity , as this nation hath ever done , and which we shall constantly labour to procure for them , as the greatest blessing god can bestow upon us in this world. given at our court at whitehall this twenty fifth day of october . . the reverend dean of pauls his proposals or terms of vnion , betwixt the church of england and the dissenters : taken out of his preface to the vnreasonableness of separation , pag. , , , , , , , , , , , , , . is there nothing to be done for dissenting protestants , who agree with us in all doctrinal articles of our church , and only scruple the use of a few ceremonies , and some late impositions ? shall these differences still be continued , when they may be so easily removed ? and so many useful men be encouraged , and taken into the constitution ? do we value a few indifferent ceremonies , and some late declarations , and doubtful expressions , beyond the satisfaction of mens consciences , and the peace and stability of this church ? as to this material question , i shall crave leave to deliver my opinion freely and impartially ; and that , i. with respect to the case of the people ; the terms of whose union with us , is acknowledged by our brethren to be so much easier than their own . but these are of two sorts : . some allow the use of the liturgy , but say they cannot joyn in communion with us , because the participation of the sacraments hath such rites and ceremonies annexed to it , which they think unlawful ; and therefore till these be removed , or left indifferent , they dare not joyn with us in baptism or the lord's supper ; because in the one the cross is used , and in the other kneeling is required . as to these i answer , ( . ) upon the most diligent search i could make into these things , i find no good ground for any scruple of conscience , as to to the use of these ceremonies ; and as little as any as to the sign of the cross , as it is used in our church ; notwithstanding all the noise that hath been made about its being a new sacrament , and i knew not what ; but of this at large in the following treatise . ( . ) i see no ground for the peoples separation from other acts of communion , on the account of some rites they suspect to be unlawful : and especially when the use of such rites is none of their own act , as the cross in baptism is not ; and when such an explication is annexed concerning the intention of kneeling at the lord's supper , as is in the rubrick after the communion . ( . ) notwithstanding , because the use of sacraments in a christian church , ought to be the most free from all exceptions , and they ought to be so administred , as rather to invite than discourage scrupulous persons from joyning in them : i do think it would be a part of christian wisdom and condescention in the governors of our church , to remove those bars from a freedom in joyning in full communion with us . which may be done , either by wholly taking away the sign of the cross ; or if that may give offence to others , by confining the use of it to the publick administration of baptism ; or by leaving it indifferent , as the parents desire it . as to kneeling at the lord's supper , since some posture is necessary , and many devout people scruple any other , and the primitive church did in ancient times receive it in the posture of adoration , there is no reason to take this away , even in parochial churches ; provided that those who scruple kneelling , do receive it with the least offence to others , and rather standing than sitting , because the former is most agreeable to the practice of antiquity , and of our neighbour-reformed churches . as to the surplice in parochial churches , it is not of that consequ●nce as to bear a dispute one way or other ; and as to cathedr●l churches , there is no necessity of alteration . but there is another thing which seems to be of late much scrupled in baptism , viz. the use of god fathers and god-mothers exc●●●ing the parents . although i do not question , but the practice of our church may be justified , ( as i have done it towards the end of the following treatise , ) yet i see no necessity of adhering 〈◊〉 strictly to the canon herein , but that a little alteration may ●revent these scruples , either by permitting the parents to joyn with the sponsors ; or by the parents publickly desiring the sponsors to represent them in offering the child to baptism ; or which seems most agreeable to reason , that the parents offer the child to baptism , and then the sponsors perform the covenanting part ; representing the child ; and the charge after baptism be given in common to the parents and sponsors . these things being allowed , i see no obstruction remaining as to a full union of the body of such dissenters with us , in all acts of divine worship , and christian communion , as do not reject all communion with us as unlawful . . but because there are many of those , who are become zealous protestants , and plead much their communion with us in faith and doctrine , although they cannot joyn with us in worship , because they deny the lawfulness of liturgies , and the right constitution of our churches ; their case deserves some consideration , whether and how far they are capable of being made serviceable to the common interest , and to the support of the protestant religion among us . to their case i answer , first , that a general unlimited toleration to dissenting protestants , will soon bring confusion among us , and in the end popery , as i have shewed already ; and a suspension of all the penal laws that relate to dissenters is the same thing with a boundless toleration . secondly , if any present favours be granted to such , in consideration of our circumstances , and to prevent their conjunction with the papists , for a general toleration , ( for if ever the papists obtain it , it must be under their name : ) if , i say , such favour be thought fit to be shewed them , it ought to be with such restrictions and limitations as may prevent the mischief which may easily follow upon it : for all such meetings are a perpetual reproach to our churches , by their declaring , that our churches are no true churches ; that our manner of worship is unlawful ; and that our church-government is antichristian ; and that on these accounts they separate from us , and worship god by themselves . but if such an indulgence be thought fit to be granted , i humbly offer these things to consideration . . that none be permitted to enjoy the priviledge of it , who do not declare , that they do hold communion with our churches to be unlawful . for it seems unreasonable to allow it to others , and will give countenance to endless and causeless separations . . that all who enjoy it , besides taking the test against popery , do subscribe the thirty six articles of our faith , because the pretence of this liberty , is joyning with us in points of faith ; and this may more probably prevent papists getting in amongst them . . that all such as enjoy it , must declare the particular congregations they are of and enter their names before such commissioners as shall be authorized for that purpose ; that so this may be no pretence for idle , loose , and prophane persons , never going to any church at all . . that both preachers and congregations be liable to severe penalties , if they use any bitter or reproachful words , either in sermons or writings , against the established constitution of our churches ; because they desire only the freedom of their own consciences ; and the using this liberty , will discover it is not conscience , but a turbulent , factious humour , which makes them separate from our communion . . that all indulged persons be particularly obliged to pay all legal duties to the parochial churches , ( lest meer covetousness tempt men to run among them ) and no persons so indulged , be capable of any publick office. it not being reasonable that such should be trusted with government , who look upon the worship established by law as unlawful . . that no other penalty be laid on such indulged persons , but that of twelve pence a sunday for their absence from their parochial churches , which ought to be duly collected for the use of the poor , and cannot be complained of as any heavy burthen , considering the liberty they do enjoy by it . . that the bishops , as visitors appointed by law , have an exact account given to them , of the rule of their worship and discipline , and of all the persons belonging to the indulged congregations , with their qualities and places of abode ; and that none be admitted a member of any such congregation without acquainting their visitor with it , that so means may be used to prevent their leaving our communion , by giving satisfaction to their scruples . this power of the bishops cannot be scrupled by them , since herein they are considered as commissioners appointed by law. . that no indulged persons presume under severe penalties to breed up scholars , or to teach gentlemens sons university-learning ; because this may be justly looked on as a design to propagate schism to posterity , and to lay a foundation for the disturbance of future generations . ii. as to the case of the ejected ministers , i have these things to offer : . that bare subscription of the thirty six articles concerning doctrinal points , be not allowed as sufficient to qualifie any man for a living , or any church-preferment , for these reasons . first , any lay-man upon these terms may not only be capable of a living , but may take upon him to administer the sacraments ; which was never allowed in any well-constituted church in the christian world. and such an allowance among us , instead of setling and uniting us , will immediately bring things into great confusion , and give mighty advantage to the papists against our church . and we have reason to fear , a design of this nature , under a pretence of union of protestants , tends to the subversion of this church , and throwing all things into confusion , which at last will end in popery . secondly , this will bring a faction into the church , which will more endanger it than external opposition . for such men will come in triumphantly , having beaten down three of the thirty nine articles ; and being in legal possession of their places , will be ready to defie and contemn those who submitted to the rest , and to glory in their conquests , and draw followers after them , as the victorious confessors against prelacy and ceremonies . and can they imagine those of the church of england will see the reputation of the church , or their own , to suffer so much , and not appear in their own vindication ? things are not come to that pass , nor will they suddenly be , that the friends , of the church of england will be either afraid , or ashamed to own her cause , we do heartily and sincerely desire union with our brethren , if it may be had on just and reasonable terms ; but they must not think , that we will give up the cause of the church for it , so as to condemn its constitution , or make the ceremonies unlawful , which have been hitherto observed and practised in it . if any expedient can be found out for the ease of other mens consciences , without reflecting on our own ; if they can be taken in , without reproach or dishonour to the reformation of the church ; i hope no true son of the church of england will oppose it . but if the design be to bring them in as a faction to bridle and controll the episcopal power , by setting up forty bishops in a diocess against one ; if it be for them to trample upon the church of england , and not to submit to its order and government upon fair and moderate terms , let them not call this a design of union , but the giving law to a party to oppose the church of england . and what the success of this will be , let wise men judge . thirdly , if a subscription to thirty six articles were sufficient by the statute eliz. c. . i do not understand how by virtue of that statute a man is bound publickly to read the thirty nine articles in the church , and the testimonial of his subscription , on pain of being deprived ipso facto , if he do not . for the l. ch. i. coke saith , that subscription to the articles is required by force of the act of parliament , eliz : c. . and he adds , that the delinquent is disabled and deprived ipso facto ; and that a conditional subscription to them was not sufficient , was resolved by all the judges in england . but how a man should be depriued ipso facto for not subscribing , and reading the articles , as appears by the cases mentioned in coke , and yet be required only to subscribe to , by the same statute , is a thing too hard for me to conceive . . but notwithstanding this , if any temper can be found out , as to the manner of subscription , that may give ease to the scruples of our brethren , and secure the peace of the church , the desired union may be attained without that apparent danger of increasing the factions among us . and this i suppose may be done , by an absolute subscription to all those articles which concern the doctrine of the true christian faith , and the use of the sacraments ; and a solemn promise under their hand , or subscription of peaceable submission , as to the rest , so as not to oppose or contradict them , either in preaching or writing ; upon the same penalty as if they had not subscribed to the . which may be a more probable means to keep the church in quiet , than forcing a more rigorous subscription upon them , or leaving them at their full liberty . . as to the other subscription required , jac. to the articles . the first is provided for by the oaths of allegiance and supremacy . the third is the same with the subscription to the articles . and as to the second , about the book of common-prayer , &c. it ought to be considered , ( . ) whether , for the satisfaction of the scrupulous , some more doubtful and obscure passages may not yet be explained or amended ? whether the new translation of the psalms were not fitter to be used , at least in parochial churches ? whether portions of canonical scripture were not better put in stead of apocrypha lessons ? whether the rubrick about salvation of infants , might not be restored to its former place , in the office of confirmation , and so the present exceptions against it be removed ? whether those expressions which suppose the strict exercise of discipline , in burying the dead , were not better left at liberty in our present case ? such a review made by wise and peaceable men , not given to wrath and disputing , may be so far from being a dishonour to this church , that it may add to the glory of it . ( . ) upon such a review , whether it be not great reason that all persons who officiate in the church , be not only tied to a constant use of it in all publick offices , ( as often as they administer them ) which they ought in person frequently to do ; but to declare at their first entrance upon a parochial charge , their approbation of the use of it , after their own reading of it , that so the people may not suspect them to carry on a factious design , under an outward pretence of conformity to the rules of the church they live in . ( . ) whether , such a solemn using the liturgy , and approbation and promise of the use of it , may not be sufficient , in stead of the late form of declaring their assent and consent , which hath been so much scrupled by our brethren ? these are all the things which appear to me reasonable to be allowed in order to an union , and which i suppose may be granted without detriment or dishonour to our church . there are other things very desirable towards the happiness and flourishing of this church ; as the exercise of discipline in parochial churches , in a due subordination to the bishop ; the reforming the ecclesiastical courts as to excommunication , without prejudice to the excellent profession of the civil law ; the building of more churches in great parishes , especially about the city of london ; the retrenching pluralities ; the strictness and solemnity of ordinations ; the making a book of canons suitable to this age , for the better regulating the conversations of the clergy . such things as these , might facilitate our union , and make our church in spight of all its enemies become a praise in the whole earth . a specimen of a bill , for vniting protestants ; being a rough draught of such terms , as seem equal for the conformist to grant , and the non-conformist to yield to , for peace sake , provided a good while , and published on purpose only for the farther , better , and more easie consideration of the parliament . whereas , there are many jealousies risen about : popery , which makes it even necessary to the peace of the nation , that the protestant interest be united and strengthened by all good and lawful means : and to this end , there being this one proper expedient ; to wit ; the removing the occasion of divisions , which several persons do find to themselves in those late injunctions , which yet were intended to the same purpose of concord in the nation : be it enacted — that an explanation of these impositions , and such alleviations , be allowed to the tenderly considerate , and peaceably scrupulous , as follow . in the act of uniformity , by the declaration of assent and consent to all things , and every thing contained in , and prescribed by the two books of common prayer , and of ordering priests and deacons , we understand not , that these books are in every minute particular , infallible , or free from that defect , which is incident to all human composure : but that they are in the main contents , to be sincerely approved and used . and we do therefore allow this declaration to be sufficient , if it be made to the use of the book , in the ordinary constant lords-days-service , notwithstanding any exceptions some may have against some things in the by-offices , and occasional service , the rubrick , and otherwise . and for the ceremonies which are made , and have been always , and on all hands , held to be only indifferent things , we think fit that they be left to the consciences and prudence of ministers , and people , every where ( excepting the cathedrals ) to use them , or forbear them , as they judge it most meet for their own and others edification , provided that if any person will have his child baptized with the sign of the cross , or stands upon any thing else , hitherto required by the service-book , if the minister himself scruple the performance , he shall permit another to do it . in the same act , by those words in the subscription , that it is not lawful to take arms against the king , upon any pretence whatsoever ; we intend no new or strange thing , but the rightful maintenance only of the king's authority against rebellion , according to the common determination of learned writers , in the case of subjection to princes . by the words , i abhor the position of taking arms by the authority of the king , against any commissionated by him , we never thought of advancing the arbitrary commissions of the king above law ; but by those commissionated by him , we understand such as are legally commissionated , and in the legal pursuit of such commissions . by the clause which follows , that requires a renunciation of all endeavour of any alteration of government in the church or state , we never meant to deny any free-born subject his right , of choosing parliament-men , or acting in in his place for the common good any way , according to law ; but that he shall renounce all such endeavour , as is seditious , or not warranted by the constitution of the nation ; and particularly , such an endeavour as was assumed in the late times , without , and against the consent of the king : and for the rest of the subscription , which is enjoyned but to the year . be it enacted , that it cease presently , and be no longer enjoyned . and forasmuch as there is an oath prescribed and required of all non-conformists preachers , that reside in any corporate town , by a certain act of the former parliament , made at oxford in the th . year of his now majesties reign , entituled , an act for restraining non-conformists , from inhabiting corporations : we do further declare , that it shall suffice any man , for the enjoyment of his free born liberty , of inhabiting where he thinks best ; and serve him also instead of the fore-mentioned subscription ; to take that oath in this form of words following . i a. b. do swear , that i hold it unlawful upon any pretence , to take arms against the king , his government or laws : and that i disclaim that dangerous position , of taking arms by his authority , against his person , or any legally commissionated by him , in the legal pursuit of such commissions : and that i will not endeavour any alteration of government in the church or state , in any way or manner , not warrantted by the constitution of the kingdom , or any otherwise than by act of parliament : and as soon as any man has taken the oath thus , he shall be discharged of all penalty for his omission before . we do declare moreover , that whereas it is required also in the act of uniformity , that every minister who injoys any living or ecclesiastical preferment , shall be ordained by a bishop ; and there are several persons of late , who in case of necessity , for want of bishops took presbyterian-orders : our meaning is not in any wise to disgust the reformed churches beyond the seas , and make it necessary for such to be re-ordained to the office ; but that they receive this second imposition of hands to the exercise of their office in the new charge , unto which they are , or shall be called ; and that the bishop shall frame his words accordingly . and whereas there is a subscription also in the canons , and the canonical-oath of obedience , imposed on most ministers by the bishops , that have given some of the greatest occasion to non-conformity heretofore ; which yet never passed into law by any act of parliament : we do further declare , that nothing more of that kind shall be required of ministers hence forward , than was made and held necessary by the act of the thirteenth of elizabeth . and in regard there hath been great offence taken by conscientious ministers , at the bishops , ( or their courts ) commanding them to read the sentence of excommunication against some or other of their parish , for such faults as they think not at all worthy of so great a censure : we declare it but a just thing , that every minister be first satisfied in the cause , or else be exempted from the execution of that charge ; and that the bishop ( or his court ) provide some other person that is satisfied about it , to do it . and to the intent that a free search after truth may not be discouraged in the pursuit of concord , and many other scruples avoided upon that account : we declare , that though an authentick interpretation be required , as to the substance of all laws , yet in the articles of the church , ( which are theses for agreement , and not laws ) and the homilies , a doctrinal interpretation shall be held sufficient for an assent or subscription to them . and because the very superintendency of bishops , and that subjection to them which is required by the constitution of the realm , is , or may be an hindrance to many sober ministers , and other protestants , of coming into the church , who are ready to consent to the doctrine , but not to the discipline or government of it : we do declare , that so long as any person or party do acknowledge the king's supremacy , as head of the church in this nation , and obey their ordinary , or the bishops , in licitis & honestis , upon the account of his authority , ( committed to them for the exercise of that external regiment , circa sacra , which is granted by all our divines to the higher powers in every nation ) it is enough for the owning episcopal iurisdiction ( so far as they do own it , in the declaration of assent and consent , or in any other part of conformity ; ) and shall serve them to all intents and purposes in law , no lets than a professed belief and acknowledgment of the immediate divine right of it . be it therefore enacted by this present parliament , that if any person be willing to conform to the present establishment of the church of england , and her service appointed according to these explanations , alleviations , declarations , lenitives , or cautions , he shall be admitted to any ecclesiastical preferment , and enjoy the use of his ministry without any molestation : all statutes , canons , or laws to the contrary notwithstanding . and for the making this act of better signification to the concerned , and the prevention of that scandal which is raised on the clergy , through the covetousness of some , in heaping up to themselves all the preferments they can get , when others have scarce subsistence for their families , and the souls of many people are thereby neglected : be it farther enacted , that no clergy-men for the three next years ensuing , be suffered to enjoy any more than one living or cure of souls , and one dignity , ( or other ecclesiastical preferment ) at one time ; and that every man ( without exception ) that hath more than one of either , shall immediately give up the rest to be distributed among those who shall be brought off from their non-conformity , upon the terms of this act , into the established order . which that they may also be obtained , and possessed with a clean conscience , and that grievous curruption of simony may be extirpate out of the land : be it enacted moreover , that every patron that shall hence forward present his clerk to any living , shall have the oath , called the simonical oath , imposed on him , no less than on the incumbent : and if he refuses to take it , that then the bishop shall have immediate power ( taking only the same oath ) of presentation in his room . and forasmuch , as there are some ministers of a good life , that cannot ( according to their judgments ) allow of our parochial churches , nor a book of liturgy : but do choose to worship god , and jesus christ in the way of their gathered or separate congregations , and crave the protection and clemency of the king , upon their allegiance , as other subjects : be it finally enacted , for the happiness and quiet of the realm , and the reduction of these men by other means than those which have hitherto proved unsuccessful ; that every christian subject throughout the land , that profess the reformed religion , and be not convict of popery , be pardoned all faults and penalties , incurred upon the account of any fore-passed non-conformity ; and that they shall not , during these seven years next ensuing , be prosecuted upon any penal law , for their consciences , in the matter of religion ; they carrying themselves innocently and peaceably , with submission to the civil , and without disturbance to the ecclesiastical government , now settled in the nation : all statutes to the contrary notwithstanding . in short , a repeal of our laws about conformity unto the th of elizabeth ; or , a new act of uniformity ; or , the king's declaration concerning ecclesiastical affairs , at his first coming in , turn'd into a law , were comprehension . his latter declaration to all his loving subjects , ( some few things in both , yet a little considered ) made so , were indulgence . a bill of comprehension with indulgence , both together , will do our business . an addition , or clause in it against pluralities , will do it with supererogation . deo gloria . notes, typically marginal, from the original text notes for div a -e hooker's preface to his ecclesiastical polity , printed anno . p. , . hooker's preface to his ecclesiastical polity , p. . dr. stillingfleet's irenicu● p. . . preface to the common-prayer . dr. tillotson's sermon , preached at the yorkshire-feast . an. . p. . dr. sherlock's sermon , preached before the lord mayor . nov. . notes for div a -e co. inst. . part. , by the king, a proclamation for publishing the peace between his majesty, and the french king england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

where that church is , which we profess to believe in the two creeds ( we declare to believe one catholick and apostolick church , and it is not left to every phantastical mans head to believe as he pleases , but to the church , to whom christ left the power upon earth to govern us in matters of faith. who made these creeds for our directions . it were a very irrational thing to make laws for a country , and leave it to the inhabitants , to be the interpreters and judges of those laws ; for then every man will be his own judge , and by consequence no such thing as either right or wrong . can we therefore suppose that god almighty would leave us at those uncertainties , as to give us a rule to go by , & leave every man to be his own judge ? i do ask any ingenuous man , whether it he not the same thing to follow our own phancy , or to interpret the scripture by it ? i would have any man shew me , where the power of deciding matters of faith is given to every particular man. christ left his power to his church even to forgive sins in heaven , and left his spirit with them , which they exercised after his resurrexion : first by his apostles in these creeds , and many years after by the council at nice , where that creed was made that is called by that name , and by the power which they had received from christ , they were the judges even of the scripture it self many years after the apostles , which books were canonical and which were not . and if they had this power then , i desire to know how they came to lose it , and by what authority men separate themselves from that church ? the only pretence i ever heard of , was , was , because the church has failed in wresting and interpreting the scripture contrary to the true sense and meaning of it , and that they have imposed articles of faith upon us , which are not to be warranted by gods word ? i do desire to know who is to be judge of that , whether the whole church , the succession whereof has continued to this day without interruption , or particular men who have raised schisms for their own advantage ? this is a true copy of a paper i found in the late king my brothers strong box , written in his own hand . james r. the second paper . it is a sad thing to consider what a world of heresies are crept into this nation ; every man thinks himself as competent a judge of the scriptures as the very apostles themselves ; and 't is no wonder that it should be so , since that part of the nation , which looks most like a church , dares not bring the true arguments against the other sects , for fear they should be turned against themselves , and confuted by their own arguments . the church of england ( as 't is call'd ) would fain have it thought , that they are the judges in matters spiritu●l , and yet dare not say positively that there is no appeal from them ; for either they must say , that they are infallible ( which they cannot pretend to ) or confess that what they decide in matters of conscience , is no further to be followed , then it agrees with every mans private judgment . if christ did leave a church here upon earth , and we were all once of that church , how , and by what authority , did we separate from that church ? if the power of interpreting of scripture be in every mans brain , what need have we of a church or church-men ? to what purpose did our saviour , after he had given his apostles power to bind and loose in heaven and earth , add to it , that he would be with them even to the end of the world ? these words were not spoken parabolically , or by way of figure . christ was then ascending into his glory , and left his power with his church even to the end of the world. we have had these hundred years past , the sad effect of denying to the church that power in matters spiritual , without an appeal . what country can subsist in peace or quiet , where there is not a supream judge from whence there can be no appeal ? can there be any justice done where the offenders are their own judges , and equal interpreters of the law , with those that are appointed to administer justice ? this is our case here in england in matters spiritual ; for the protestants are not of the church of england , as 't is the true church from whence there can be no appeal ; but because the discipline of that church is conformable at that present to their fancies , which as soon as it shall contradict or vary from , they are ready to embrace or joyn with the next congregation of people , whose discipline and worship agrees with their opinion at that time ; so that according to this doctrine there is no other church , nor interpreter of scripture but that which lies in every mans giddy brain . i desire to know therefore of every serious considerer of these things , whether the great work of our salvation ought to depend upon such a sandy foundation as this ? did christ ever say to the civil magistrate ( much less to the people ) that he would be with them to the end of the world ? or , did he give them the power to forgive sins ? st. paul tells the corinthians , ye are gods husbandry , ye are gods building ; we are labourers with god. this shews who are the labourers , and who are the husbandry and building ; and in this whole chapter , and in the preceding one , s. paul takes great pains to s●t forth that they , the clergy , have the spirit of god , without which no man searcheth the deep things of god ; and he concludeth the chapter with this verse , for who hath known the mind of the lord , that he may instruct him ? but we have the mind of christ. now if we do but consider in humane probability and reaso● ▪ the powers christ leaves to his church in the gospel , and st. paul explains so distinctly afterwards , we cannot think that our saviour said all these things to no purpose ; and pray consider on the other side , that those , who resist the truth , and will not submit to his church , draw their arguments from implications , and far fetch'd interpretations , at the same time that they deny plain and positive words ; which is so great a disingenuity , that 't is not almost to be thought that they can believe themselves . is there any other foundation of the protestant church , but that if the civil magistrate please , he may call such of the clergy as he thinks fit for his turn at that time ; and turn the church either to presbytery , independency , or indeed what he pleases ? this was the way of our pretended reformation here in england ; and by the same rule and authority it may be altered into as many more shapes and forms as there are fancies in mens heads . this is a true copy of a paper written by the late king my brother in in his own hand , which i found in his closet . james r. a copy of a paper written by the late dutchess of york . it is so reasonable to expect , that a person always bred up in the church of england , and as well instructed in the the doctrine of it , as the best divines , and her capacity could make her , should be liable to many censures , for leaving that , and making her self a member of the roman catholick church , to which , i confess , i was one of the greatest enemies it ever had ; that i choose rather to endeavour to satisfie my friends , by reading this paper , then to have the trouble , to answer all the questions that may daily be asked me : and first , i do protest in the presence of almighty god ; that no person , man or woman , directly , nor indirectly , ever said any thing to me ( since i came into england ) or used the least endeavour to make me change my religion : it is a blessing i wholly owe to almighty god , and i hope the hearing of a prayer i daily made him , ever since i was in france , and planders ; where seeing much of the devotion of the catholicks ( tho i had very little my self ) i made it my continual request to almighty god ; that , if i were not ; i might , before i died , be in the true religion : i did not in the least doubt , but that i was so , and never had any manner of scruple till november last ; when reading a book , called the history of ●he r●formation , by doctor heylin , which i had heard very much commended , and had been told , if ever i had any doubt in my religion , that would settle me ; instead of which , i found it the description of the horridest sacriledges in the world ; and could find no reason , why we left the church , but for three the 〈◊〉 abominable ones , that were ever heard of amongst christ●ans : first , henry the eighth renounces the pope's authority , because he would not give him leave to part with his wife , and merry another , in her life-time : secondly , edward the sixth was a child , and govern'd by his uncle , who made his estate o● of church lands . and then queen elizabeth , who being no lawful h●iress to the crown , could have no way to keep it , bu● by renouncing a church that could never suffer so unlawful a thing to be done by one of her children . i confess i cannot think the holy ghost could ever be in such counsels ; and it is very strange , that if the bishops had no design , but ( as they say ) the restoring us to the doctrine of the primitive church ; they should never think upon it , till henry the eighth made the ●reach upon so unlawful a pretence . these scruples being raised , i begun to consider of the difference between the catholicks and us ; and examin'd them as well as i could by the holy scripture , which , i do not pretend to be able to understand , yet , there are some things i found so easie , that i cannot but wonder , i had been so long without finding them out : as the real presence in the blessed sacrament , the infallibility of 〈◊〉 church , confession , and praying for the dead . after this , i spoke severally to two of the best bishops we have in england , who ●oth told me , there were many things in the roman church , which ( it were very much to be wished ) we had kept ; as confession , which was , no doubt commanded by god : that praying for the dead was one of the ancient things in christianity : that for their parts , they did it daily , though they would no● own it : and afterwards , pressing one of them very much upon the other points , he told me , that if he had been bred a catholick he would not change his religion ; but , that being of another church , wherein , he was sure , were all things n●cessary to salvation , he th●ught it very ill , to give that scandal , as to leave that church wherein he had received his baptism all these d●scou●ses did but add more to the desire i had , to be a catholick ▪ and gave me the most terrible agonies in the world within my s●●f . for all this , fearing to be rash in a mat●er of t●an weight i did all i could to satisfie my self ; mad it my daily prayer to god , to settle me in the right , and to went on ●hristmas-day to r●ceive in the king's chappel ; after 〈◊〉 , i was more troubled then ever , and could never b● i●●●iet , t●l● i had told my desire to a catholick , who brought a priest to me , and that was the first i ever did converse with , upon my word . the more i spoke to him , the more i was con●irm'd in my design ; and , as it is impossible for me to doubt of the words of our blessed saviour , who says , the holy sacrament is his body and blood , so i cannot believe , that he who is the author of all truth , and who ha● promis'd to be with his church to the end of the world , would permit them to give that holy mystery to the laiety but in one kind , if it were not lawful so to do . i am not able , or , if i were , would i enter into disputes with any body ; i only in short , say this for the changing of my religion , which i take god to witness i would never have done , if i had thought it possible to save my soul otherwise . i think , i need not say , it is any interest in this world leads me to it : it will be plain enough to every body , that i must lose all the friends , and credit i have here , by it ; and have very well weighed , which i could best part with , my share in this world , or the next : i thank god i found no difficulty in the choice . my only prayer is , that the poor catholicks of this nation , may not suffer for my being of their religion : that god would but give me patience to bear them , and then , send me any afflictions in this world , so i may enjoy a blessed eternity hereafter . st. iames's aug. th . . an answer to some papers lately printed , concerning the authority of the catholick church in matters of faith , and the reformation of the church of england . dvblin , reprinted by ios. ray , on colledge green , for rob thornton , at the leather-bottle in skinner row. mdclxxxvi . an advertisement . if the papers here answered , had not been so publickly dispersed through the nation , a due respect to the name they bear , would have kept the author from publishing any answer to them . but because they may now fall into many hands , who without some assistance may not readily resolve some difficulties started by them , he thought it not unbecoming his duty to god and the king , to give a clearer light to the things contained in them . and it can be no reflection on the authority of a prince , for a private subject to examine a piece of coyn as to its just value , though it bears his image and superscription upon it . in matters that concern faith and salvation , we must prove all things , and hold fast that which is good . an answer to the first paper . if all men could believe as they pleased , i should not have fail'd of satisfaction in this first paper , the design of it being to put an end to particular disputes ; to which i am so little a friend , that i could have been glad to have found , as much reason in it to convince , as i saw there was a fair appearance to deceive . but there is a law in our minds distinct from that of our inclinations ; and out of a just and due regard to that , we must examine the most plausible writings , thô back'd with the greatest authority , before we yield our assent unto them . if particular controversies about matters of faith could be ended by a principle , as visible as that the scripture is in print , all men of sence would soon give over disputing ; for none who dare believe what they see , can call that in question . but what if the church , whose authority , it is said , they must submit to , will not allow them to believe what they see ? how then can this be a sufficient reason to perswade them to believe the church , because it is as visible as that the scripture is in print ? unless we must only use our senses to find out the church , and renounce them assoon as we have done it . which is a very bad requital of them , and no great honour to the church which requires it . but with all due submission , it is no more visible that the roman church is the catholick church ; than it is , that a part is the whole , and the most corrupt part , that one church , which christ hath here upon earth . it is agreed among all christians . that christ can have but one church upon earth , as there is but one lord , one faith , one baptism . and this is that church we profess to believe in the two creeds . but if those , who made those creeds for our direction , had intended the roman catholick church , why was it not so expressed ? how came it to pass that such a limitation of the sense of christs catholick church to the roman , should never be put to persons to be baptized in any age of the church ? for i do not find in the office of baptism , even in the roman church , that it is required that they believe the roman catholick church . or that they deny the validity of baptism out of the communion of the roman church . from whence it is to me as visible as that the scripture is in print , that the church of rome it self doth not believe that it is , the one catholick church mentioned in the two creeds . for then it must void all baptism out of its communion , which it hath never yet done ▪ and as long as baptism doth enter pe●sons into the cathol●ck church ; it is impossible , that all who have the true form of baptis● , though out of the communion of the roman church , should be members of the catholick church , and yet the communion of the roman and catholick be all one ; as it must be if the roman church , be the catholick and apostolick church professed in the creeds . if we had been so happy to have lived in those blessed times , when the multitude of them that believed were of one heart , and of one soul , it had been no difficulty to have shewed that one visible church , which christ had here upon earth . but they must be great strangers to the history of the church , who have not heard of the early and great divisions in the communion of it . and there was a remarkable difference in the nature of those schisms , which happened in the church ; which being not considered hath been the occasion of great misapplication of the sayings of the ancients about the one catholick church . some did so break off communion with other parts of the catholick church , as to challenge that title wholly to themselves ; as was evident in the case of the novatians and donatists ; for they rebaptiz'd all that embraced their communion . others were cast out of communion upon particular differences ; which were not supposed to be of such a nature , as to make them no members of the catholick church . so the bishops of rome excommunicated the bishops of asia for not keeping easter when they did ; and the bishops both of asia and africa , for not allowing the b●ptism of hereticks . but is it reasonable to suppose , that upon these differences they shut out ●ll those holy bishops and martyrs from the possiblility of salvation , by excluding them from their communion ? if not , then there may be d●fferent communions among christians , which may still continue parts of the catholick church ; and consequently no one member of such a division ought to assume to it self the title and authority of the one catholick church . but if any one port doth so , though never so great and conspicuous , it is guilty of the ●ame presumption with the novatians and donatists , and is as much cause of the schisms , which happen thereupon in the church , as they were . for a long time before the reformation , there had been great and considerable breaches , between the eastern and western churches ; insomuch that they did renounce each others communion . and in these differences four patriarchal churches joined together against the fifth , viz. that of the bishop of rome . but the eastern patriarchs siking in their power , by the horrible invasio● of the enemies of the christian faith ; and the bishops of rome advancing themselves to so much authority , by the advantages they took from the kindness of some princes , and the weakness of others , they would hear of no other terms of accommodation with the eastern churches , but by an intire submission to the pope as head of the catholick church . which all the churches of the east refused , however different among themselves ; and to this day lock on the pope's supremacy as an innovation in the church , and usurpation on the rights of the other patriarchs and b●shops . in all those churches the two creeds are professed , true baptism administred , and an undoubted succession of bishops from the apostles ; how then come they to be excluded from being parts of the one catholick and apostolick church ? and if they be not excluded , how can the roman church assume to it self that glorious title : so that it seems to me as visible as that the scripture is in print , that the roman church neither is , nor can be that one church , which christ left upon earth . and this principle being removed ( which ought to be taken for granted ; since it can never be proved ) we must unavoidably enter into the ocean of particular disputes . and i know no reason any can have to be so afraid of it , since we have so sure a compass , as the holy scripture to direct our passage . but the reason of avoiding particular disputes is , because the evidence is too clear in them , that the church of rome hath notoriously deviated from this infal●ible rule . and it is as impossible for a church , which hath erred , to be infallible , as for a church really infallible , to err . but if a church pretend to prove her infallibility by texts , which are not so clear , as those which prove her to have actually erred ; then we have greater reason to recede from her errors , than to be deceived with such a fallible pretence to infallibili●y . well! but it is not left to every phantastical mans head to believe as be pleases , but to the church . and is it indeed le●t to the church to believe as it pleases ? but the meaning i suppose is , that those , who reject the authority of the roman catholick church , do leave every man to believe according to his own fancy . certainly those of the church of england , cannot be liable to any imputation of this nature . for our church receives the three creeds , and embraces the four general councils , and professes to hold nothing contrary to any universal tradition of the church from the apostles times . and we have often offered to put the controversies between us , and the church of rome upon that issue . and do not those rather believe as they please , who believe the roman church to be the catholick church , without any colour from scriptures , antiquity or reason ? do not those believe as they please , who can believe against the most convincing evidence of their own senses ? do not those believe as they please , who can reconcile the lawfulness of the worship of images , with gods forbidding it , the communion in one kind , with christs institution , and the praying in an unknown tongue with the ch. of the first epistle to the corinthians ? but all these and many other absurdities may go down by vertue of the c●urches authority , to whom , it is said , christ left the power upon earth to govern us in matters of faith. we do not deny that the church hath authority of declaring matters of faith , or else it never could have condemn'd the antient h●re●ies . but then we must consider the difference between the universal church in a general and free council , declaring the sense of scripture in articles of faith , generally received in the christian church from the apostles times , as was done when the nicene creed was made ; and a faction in the church assuming to it self the title of catholick , and proceeding by other rules , than the first councils did , and imposing new opinions and practices , as things necessary to the communion of the catholick church . and this is the true point in difference between us , and those of the roman church about the churches authority in matters of faith , since the council of trent . for we think we have very great reason to complain , when a party in the church , the most corrupt and obnoxious , takes upon it self to define many new doctrines , as necessary points of faith , which have neither scripture , nor universal tradition for them . it were a very irrational thing , we are told , to make laws for a countrey , and leave it to the inhabitants to be interpreters and iudges of those laws ; for then every man will be his own iudge , and by consequence no such thing , as either right or wrong . but is it not as irrational to allow an usurper to interpret the laws to his own advantage , against the just title of the prince , and the true interest of the people ? and if it be not reasonable for any private person to be his own iudg , why should a publick invader be so ? but we hope it will be allowed to the loyal inhabitants of a country , so far to interpret the laws , as to be able to understand the duty they owe to their king , and to justifie his right against all the pretences of usurpers . and this is as much as we plead for in this case . can we therefore suppose , that god almighty would leave us at those uncertainties , as to give us a rule to go by , and leave every man to be his own iudge ? and can we reasonably suppose , that god almighty should give us a rule not capable of being understood by those to whom it was given , in order to the great end of it , viz. the saving of their souls ? for this was the main end of the rule , to direct us in the way to heaven , and not meerly to determine controversies . the staff , which a man uses , may serve to measure things by , but the principal design is to walk with it . so it is with the holy scripture , if controversies arise : it is fit to examine and compare them with this infallible rule ; but when that is done , to help us in our way to heaven is that which it was chi●fly intended for . and no m●n can think it of equal consequence to him ; not to be mistaken , and not to be damned . in matters of good and evil , every mans conscience is his immediate judge , and why not in matters of truth and falshood ? unless we suppose mens ●nvoluntary mistakes to be more dangerous than their w●l●ul sins . but after all , we do not leave every man to be his own iudge , any further than it concerns his own salvation , which depends upon his particular care and sincerity . for to prevent any dangerous mistakes by the artifice of seducers , we do allow the assistance of those spiritual guides , which god hath appointed in his church , for the better instructing and governing private persons : we embrace the ancient creeds , as a summary comprehension of the articles of faith ; and think no man ought to follow his own particular fancy against doctrines so universally received in the christian church , from the apostles times . i do ask any ingenuous man , whether it be not the same thing to follow our own fancy , or to interpret scripture by it . if we allowed no creeds , no fathers , no councils , there might have been some colour for such a question . but do we permit men to interpret scripture according to their own fancy , who live in a church , which owns the doctrine of the primitive church more frankly and ingenuously , than any church in the world besides , without setting up any private spirit against it , or the present roman church to be the interpreter of it . and now i hope i may have leave to ask some questions of any ingenuous man ; as , whether it be not the same thing for the church of rome to make the rule , as to assume to it self the sole power of giving the sense of it ? for what can a rule signify without the sense ? and if this were the intention of almighty god , had it not been as necessary to have told us , to whom he had given the power of interpreting the rule , as to have given the rule it self ? whether it be reasonable for the church of rome , to interpret those texts , wherein this power of interpreting , is to be containes ? for this is to make it iudge in its own cause , which was thought an absurdity before . and whether it be not as mischievous to allow a prosperous usurp●r the power of interpreting laws , according to his own interest , as any private person , according to his own fancy ? wheth●r it be possible to reform disorders in the church , when the person principally accused is supream judge ? whether those can be indifferent judges in councils , who beforehand take an oath , to defend that authority which is to be debated ? whether tradition be not as uncertain a rule , as fancy , when men judge of tradition according to their fancy ? i would have any man shew me , where the power of deciding mattees of faith is given to every particular man. if by deciding matters of faith be understood the determining them in such a manner , as to oblige others , i do not know where it is given to every particular man , nor how it should be . for then every particular man would have a power over every particular man ; and there would want a new d●cision , whose should take p●ace . but if by deciding matters of faith , no more be meant , but every mans being ●atisfied of th● reasons , why he believes one thing to be true , and not another ; that belongs to every man , as he is bound to take care of his soul , and must give an account bot● to god and man of the reason of his faith. and what can be meant in scripture by proving all things , and holding fast that which is good , thess ▪ . . by trying the spirits , whether they be of god , ● john . . by judging of themselves what is right , luke . . unless god had given to mankind a faculty of discerning truth and falshood in matters of faith. but if every man hath not such a power , how comes h● to be satisfied about the churches authority ? is not that a matter of faith ? and where ever any person will shew me , that every man hath a power to determine his faith in that matter , i 'le undertake to shew him the rest . christ left his power to his church , even to forgive sins in heaven , and left his spirit with them , which they exercised after his resurrection . but where then was the roman catholick church ? and how can it be hence inferred , that these powers are now in the church of rome , exclusive to all others , unless it be made appear that it was heir-general to all the apostles ? i suppose it will be granted , that the apostles had some gifts of the spirit , which the church of rome will not in modesty pretend to ; such as the gift of tongues , the spirit of discerning , prophesie , miraculous cures and punishments . now , here lies the difficulty , to shew what part of the promise of the infallible spirit ( for the ordinary power of the keys relates not to this matter ) was to expire with the apostles , and what was to be continued to the church in all ages . a promise of divine assistance is denied by none but pelagians : but how far that extends , is the question . in the souls of good men it is so as to keep them in the way to heaven , but not to prevent any lapse into sin ; and it were worth our knowing , where god hath ever promised to keep any men more from error , than from sin. doth he hate one more than the other ? is one more disagreeing to the christian doct●ine than the other ? how came then so much to be said for the keeping men from error , when at the same time , they confess they may not only commit great sins , but err very dangerously in the most solemn manner , in what relates to the doctrine of manners . would any have believed the apostles infallible , if they had known them to be persons of ill lives ; or that they had notoriously erred in some rules of great consequence to the welfare of mankind ? now , all this is freely yielded , as to the pretence of infallibility in the church of rome . it is granted , that the guides of that church have been very bad men ; and that in councils they have frequently erred about the dep●sing power , being only a matter of practice , and not of faith. whether it be so or not , i now dispute not ; but it is granted , that notwithstanding this infallible spirit , the roman church may grosly err in a matter of mighty consequence to the peace of christendom ; and yet it cannot err in decreeing the least matters of faith. as for instance , it can by no means err about the seven sacraments , or the intention of the priest about them ; but it may err about deposing princes , and absolving subjects from their allegiance : which in easier terms is , they can never err about their own interest , but they may about any other whatsoever . i pass over the next paragraph , the sense being in perfect , and what is material about the creeds , hath been spoken to already . that which next deserves consideration , is , that the church was the iudge even of the scripture it self , many years after the apostles , which books were canonical , and which were not . we have a distinction among us of judges of the law and iudges of the fact : the one declares what the law is , the fact being supposed ; the other gives judgment upon the fact , as it appears before them . now in this case about the canonical books , the church is not judge of the law. for they are not to declare whether a book appearing to be canonical ought by it to be received for canonical ; ( which is taken for granted among all christians ) but all they have to do , is to give judgment upon the matter of fact , i.e. whether it appear upon sufficient evidence to have been a book written by divine inspiration . and the church of rome hath no particular priviledge in this matter , but gives its judgment as other parts of the christian world do : and if it takes upon it to judge contrary to the general sense of the christian church , we are not to be concluded by it ; but an appeal lyes to a greater tribunal of the universal church . and if they had this power , then i desire to know , how they came to lose it ? who are meant by they ? and what is understood by this power ? it is one thing for a part of the church to give testimony to a matter of fact , and another to assume the power of making books canonical , which were not so . this latter no church in the world hath , and therefore can never lose it . the former is only matter of testimony , and all parts of the church are concerned in it , and it dep●nds as other matters of fact do , on the skill and fidelity of the reporters . and by what authority men separate themselves from that church ? what church ? the catholick and apostolick ? we own no separation from that ; but we are d●s-joined from the communion of the roman church , that we may keep up the stricter union with the truly catholick and apostolick church . and this is no separating our selves , but being cast out by an usurping f●ction in the church ; because we would not submit to the unreasonable conditions o● communion imposed by it ; the chief whereof is owning all the usurpation , which hath by degrees been brought into it . to make this plain by an example : suppose a prosperous usurper in this kingdom had gained a considerable interest in it , and challenged a title to the whole , and therefore required of all the kings subjects , within his power , to own him to be rightful king : upon this , many of them are forced to withdraw , because they will not own his title : is this an act of rebellion , and not rather of true loyalty ? schism in the church is like rebellion in the state. the pope d●clares himself head of the catholick church , and hath formed himself a kind of spiritual ki●gdom in the west ; although the other parts of the christian world declare against it , as an usurpation . however , he goes on , and makes the owning his power a necessary condition of being of his communion . this many of the western parts , as well as eastern , disown and reject , and therefore are excluded communion with that church , whereof he is owned to be the head. the question now is , who gives the occasion to this separation ? whether the pope , by requiring the owning his usurpation , or we , by declaring against it ? now , if the cond●tions , he requires , be unjust and unreasonable ; if his authority , he challenges , over the catholick church , be a meer usurpation ( for which we have not only the consent of the other parts of the christian world , but of scripture and the ancient church ) then we are not to be condemned , for such a separation , which was unavoidable , if we would not comply with the pope's usurpation . and upon this foot the controversie about schism stands between us and the church of rome . the only pretence i ever heard of , was , because the church hath fail'd in wresting and interpreting the scripture contrary to the true sense and meaning of it ; and that they have imposed articles of faith upon us , which are not to be warranted by gods word . i do desire to know who is to be judge of that , whether the whole church , the succession whereof hath continued to this day without inter●ruption ; or particular men , who have raised schisms for their own advantage . the whole force of this paragraph depends upon a supposition , which is taken for granted , but will never be yielded by us , and we are sure c●n never be proved by those of the church of rome , viz. that in the new imposed articles , the whole church in a continued succession hath been of the same judgment with them , and only some few particular men in these last ages have opposed them . whereas the great thing we insist upon next to the holy scripture , is , that they can never prove the points in difference , by an universal tradition from the apostles times , either as to the papal supremacy , or the other articles defined by the council of trent . we do not take upon our selves to contradict the universal sense of the christian church from the apostles times in any one point . but the true reason of the proceeding of the church of england was this . while the popes authority was here received and obeyed , there was no liberty of searching into abuses , or the ways of reforming them . but when men were encouraged to look into the scripture , and fathers , and councils , they soon found the state of things in the church extreamly altered from what they ought to have been , or had been in the primitive church : but they saw no possibility of redress , as long as the popes authority was so absolute and inviolable . this therefore in the first place they set themselves to the accurate examination of , and the result was , that they could find it neither in the scriptures , nor fathers , nor councils , nor owned by the eastern churches : and therefore they concluded it ought to be laid aside , as an usurpation . our church being by this means set free ( even with the consent of those , who joined with the church of rome in other things ) a greater liberty was then used in examining particular doctrines and practices , which had crept into the church by degrees , when ignorance and barbarism prevail'd ; and having finish'd this enquiry , articles of religion were drawn up , wherein the sense of our church was delivered , agreeable to scripture and antiquity , though different from the modern church of rome ; and these articles are not the private sense of particular men , but the publick standard whereby the world may judge , what we believe and practise ; and therefore these are the sense of our church , and not the opinions or fancies of particular men. and those who call the retrenching the popes exorbitant power by the name of schism , must by parity of reason call the casting off an usurper rebellion . but certainly those who consider the mighty advantages and priv●ledges of the clergy in the church of rome , can never reasonably suspect any of that order should hope to better themselves by the reformation . and if we judge of mens actings by their interest , one of the most surprising considerations at this day is , that the clergy should be against , and princes for the church of rome . an answer to the second paper . it is a sad thing to consider , what a world of heresies are crept into this nation . but is it not a strange thing to consider , that no distinction is here put between the religion by law established , and the parties disowned by it , and dissenting from it ? and yet many of these , though justly liable to the charge of schism , embrace no heresies against the four or six first general councils . but if the dissenters were guilty of never so many heresies , how comes the church of england to bear the blame of them ; when the weakning its power and authority was the occasion of such an overflowing of schisms and heresies among us ? and it is indeed a sad thing to consider how many ways and means have been used by all parties to introduce and keep up schisms and divisions amongst us , and then how the church of england is blamed for not being able to suppress them . but if all doctrines opposite to the church of rome be accounted heresies , then we desire to be informed , how the church of rome came to have this power of defining heretical doctrines ; or how any doctrine comes to be heresie by being contrary to its definitions . for heresie is an obstinate opposing some necessary article of faith. it must therefore be proved , that what the church of rome d●clares , doth thereby become a necessary article of faith , or it is very unreasonable to lay the ●mputation of heresie upon us . and this can never be maintained , without proving that the church of rome hath a power to make doctrines not nec●ssary b●fore , to become necessary by her definition : which is the same thing with making new articles of faith. but these can never be proved to be such by universal tradition ; which the church of rome pretends for all her articles of faith. every man thinks himself as competent a iudge of scripture , as the very apostles themselves . doth every man among us pretend to an infallible spirit ? and yet every man owns ▪ that the apostles had it . but what is meant by being a iudge of scripture ? if no more be understood , than that every man must use his understanding about it , i hope this is no crime nor heresie . the scripture must be believed in order to salvation , and therefore it must be understood ; for how can a man believe , what he understands not the sense or meaning of ? if he must understand the sense he must be iudge of the sense ; so that every man , who is bound to believe the scripture in order to his salvation , must be judge of the sense of the scripture , so far as concerns his salvation . but if by being a iudge of the scripture be meant giving such a judgment , as obliges others to submit to it , then among us no particular man doth pretend to be a competent iudge of scripture , so as to bind others to rely upon his authority in expounding scripture . we own the authority of guides in the church , and a due submission to them , but we do not allow them to be as competent iudges of scripture as the very apostles . and 't is no wonder it should be so , since that part of the nation , which looks most like a church , dares not bring the true arguments against the other sects , for fear they should be turned against themselves , and confuted by their own arguments . this is directly 〈◊〉 l'd against the church of england , which is hereby charged with insincerity or weakness in dealing with the diss●nters . but we must consider the meaning of this charge , it is no wonder it should be so , i. e. that every man should think himself as competent a iudge of scripture , as the very apostles , because the church of england dares not use the true arguments against the sects . whence it appears that this true argment is the churches infallible authority , and the obligation of all members of the church to submit their judgments intirely thereto . i confess that if the church of england did pretend to this against the sectaries , they might justly turn it against her ; because in our articles , t●ô the churches authority be asserted ▪ yet infallibility is denyed . if there can be no authority in a church , without inf●llibility ; or there can be no obligation to submit to authority , without , it , then the church of england doth not use the best arguments against sectaries , but if there be no ground for infallibility , if the church which hath most pretended to it , hath been most grosly deceived , if the heads of that church have been not barely suspected of heresie , but one of them stands condemned for it in three general councils , own'd by that church ; then for all that i can see , the church of england hath wisely disowned the pretence of infallibility , and made use of the best arguments against sectaries from a just authority , and the sinfulness and folly of the sectaries refusing to submit to it . the church of england ( as 't is called ) would fain have it thought , that they are iudges in matters spiritual , yet dare not say positively , there is no appeal from them . is not the church of england really what it is called ? i would fain know what it wants to make it as good a church , as any in the christian world ? it wants neither faith ( if the creed contain it ) nor sacraments , ( and those entire ) nor succession of bishops , ( as certain as rome it self ) nor a liturgy , ( more agreeing to primitive worship , than is any where else to be found . ) why then the church of england ▪ as 't is called ? well! but what is this church now blamed for : they pretend to be iudges in matters spiritual , and yet dare not say there is no appeal from them . how then ? are there no true judges , but such as there lies no appeal from ? there lies an appeal from any judges in the kings courts to the court of parliament ; are they not therefore true judges in westminster-hall ? there lay an appeal from bishops to metropol●tans , from them to patriarchs , from patriarchs to general councils , according to the an●ient poli●y of the church . were there therefore no true judges , but general councils ? what follows relating to the churches authority , and every mans following his own judgment , hath been answered already . i proceed therefore , to what further concerns this matter of appeal . what countrey can subsist in quiet , where there is not a supream iudge , from whence there can be no appeal ? the natural consequence from hence appears to be , that every national church ought to have the supream power within it self . but how come appeals to a foreign jur●sdiction to tend to the peace and quiet of a church ? they have been always complained of in the best ages of the church , and by the b●st men ; such as st. cyprian ▪ and st. augustine ▪ and the whole african churches . the worst men began them , and the worst church encouraged them , without regard to the peace of the christian church , so it increased its own grandeur by them . we have had these hundred years past , the sad effects of denying to the church , that power in matters spiritual , without an appeal . and our ancestors for many hundred years last past , found the intolerable inconveniencies of an appeal to foreign jurisdiction . whereby the nation was ●xh●usted , justice obstructed , the clergy oppressed , and the kings prerogative greatly diminished . but these were slight things in comparison to what we have f●lt these hundred years past for want of it . have not the kings courts been open for matters of law and justice , which have been fill'd with men of as great abilities and integrity , since the reformation as ever they were before ? hath not the appeal to the king in his h●gh court of chancery been as much for the king & people , as ever the appeal was to the court of rome ? have not all the neighbour princes been forced for the preserving their own dignity to set bounds and limits to appeals to rome , and to orders or bulls that come from thence ? how then comes the want of such an appeal to be thought to produce such sad effects here ? all christendom groans under the sad effects of them : and it is a very self-denying humour for those to be most sensible of the w●nt of them , who would really suffer the most by them . can there be any iustice done , where the offenders are their own iudges , and equal interpreters of the law , with those that are appointed to administer iustice ? and is there any likelihood , justice should be better done in another country , by another authority , and proceeding by such rules , which in the last resort , are but the arbitrary will of a stranger . and must such a one , pretending to a power he hath no right to , be iudge in his own cause , when he is the greatest offender himself ( but how is this applied to the protestants in england ? this is our case , here in england , in matters spiritual ; for the protestants are not of the church of england , as 't is the true church , from whence there can be no appeal ; but because the discipline of that church is conformable at present to their fancies ; which , as soon as it shall contradict or vary from , they are ready to embrace or join with the next congregation of people , whose discipline or worship agrees with the opinion of that time. the sense of this period is not so clear , but that one may easily mistake about it . that which is aimed at , is , that we of the church of england , have no tie upon us , but that of our own judgments ; and when that changes , we may join with independents or presbyterians , as we do now with the church of england . and what security can be greater , than that of our judgments ? if it be said to be nothing ▪ but fancy and no true iudgment , we must beg leave to say , that we dare appeal to the world , whether we have not made it appear , that it is not fancy , but iudgment which hath made us firm to the church of england . might it not as well have been said , that the protestants of the church of england , adhered to the crown in the times of rebellion out of fancy , and not out of iudgment ? and that if their fancy changed , they might as well have joined with the rebels ? will not this way of reasoning hold as strongly against those of the church of rome ? for why do any adhere to that , but because it is agreeable to their judgment so to do ? what evidence can they give , that it is iudgment in them ▪ and only fancy in us ? if reason must be that which puts the difference , we do not question , but to make ours appear to be iudgment , and theirs fancy ? for what is an infallible iudge , which christ never appointed , but fancy ? what is their unwritten word , as a rule of faith to be equally received with the scriptures , but fancy ? what is giving honour to god by the worship of images , but fancy ? what is making mediators of intercession , besides the mediator of redemption , but fancy ? what is the doctrine of concomitancy , to make amends for half the sacrament , but fancy ? what is the substantial change of the element into the body of christ , but fancy ? for both senses and reason are against it . what is the deliverance of souls out of purgatory , by masses for the dead , but meer fancy ? but i forbear giving any more instances . so that according to this doctrine , there is no other church nor interpreter of scripture , but that which lies in every man 's giddy brain . let mens brains be as giddy , as they are said to be , for all that i can see , they are the best faculties they can make use of , for the understanding of scripture , or any thing else . and is there any infallible church upon earth , which must not be beholding to mens giddy brains for believing it ? and it may be , neve● the●ess giddy for doing it ? for god● sake why do any men take the church of rome to be inf●llible ? is it not , because their understandings tell them they ought so to do ? so that by this consequence , there is no infallible church , but what lies in every mans giddy brain . i desire to know therefore of every serious considerer of these things , whether the great work of our salvation ought to depend on such a sandy foundation as this ? i thank god i have seriously considered this matter , and must declare that i find no christian church built on a more sandy foundation , than that , which pretends to be setled upon a rock ; i mean , so far as it imposes the new faith of trent , as a nec●ssary condition of salvation . had we no other reason to embrace christianity , than such as they offer for these new doctrines , i am much afraid christianity it self , to all inquisitive men , would be thought to have but a sandy foundation . but what is this sandy foundation we build upon ? every ma●'s private judgment in religion ? no understanding man builds upon his own judgment , but no man of understanding can believe without it . for i appeal to any ingenious man , whether he doth not as much build upon his own judgment , who chuset● the church , as he that chuseth scripture for his rule ? and he that chuse●h the church ▪ hath many more d●fficulties to conquer than the other hath . for the church can never be a rule without the scriptures , but the scriptures may without the church ▪ and it is no such easy matter to find the churches infallibility in the scripture . but suppose that be found , he hath yet a harder point to get over , viz. how the promises relating to the church in general , came to be appropriated to the church of rome . which a man must have an admirable faculty at d●sce●ning , who can find it out , either in scripture , or the records of the ancient church . the places of scripture which are brought about christ's being with his church to the end of the world , about the power to forgive sins ; about the clergy being god's labourers husbandry , building , having the mind of christ ; do as effectually prove infallibility of the church of england , as the church of rome ; for i cannot discern the least inclination in any of them to favour one against the other . and pray consider on the other side , that those who resist the truth , and will not submit to his church , draw their arguments from implications , and far●fech'd interpretations , at the same time that they deny plain and positive words : which is so great a disingenuity , that 't is not almost to be thought that they can believe themselves . this is a very heavy charge ; to resist the truth , to deny plain and positive words of scripture ; to be guilty of great disingenuity , so as not to believe our selves , are faults of so high a nature , as must argue not only a bad cause , but a very bad mind . and god forbid , that those of the church of england , should ever be found guilty of these things . but to come to particulars ; is it resisting truth , or arguing from implications and denying plain and positive words of scripture , to say , we must not worship images ; we must make god alone the object of holy worship ; we must give the euch●r●st in both kinds according to christ's express institution ; we must understand our prayers , when st. paul's words are so clear about it : so far at least we have plain and positive words of scripture on our side . and for implications , and far-fetch'd interpretations commend me to the pope's bulls , especially when they have a mind to prove their authority from scripture ; which they can do from in the beginning , to the end of the apocalypse . but that which seems to be aimed at here , is , this is my body ; wherein the words seem to be plain and positive on their side , and our sense to be from implications , or far●fetc'h interpretations . to which i answer , that there are expressions in scr●p●ure as plain & positive as this , which none think themselves bound to understand in their literal sense . for then we must all believe ; that god hath eyes and ears , a face , hands and feet , as firmly , as that the bread was then turned into christ's body , when he spake those words . and i would know , whether the christian church rejecting the doctrine of those who made god to be like to man , was not chargeable with the same resisting the truth , and denying plain & positive words of scripture , as we are ? and yet i hope the christian church did then believe it self . suppose any should assert , that the rock in the wilderness , was really changed into christ's body ; would not he have the very same things to say against those who denied it ? for are not the words as plain and as positive , that rock was christ ? but sacramental expressions , by the consent of the christian church , and the very nature of the thing , are of a different sense from logical propositions . and if this had been intended in the plain and literal sense , st. paul would never have as plainly and positively called it bread after consecration ; nor the cup be said to be the new testament in his blood. the conclusion is : is there any other foundation of the protestant church , but that if the civil magistrate pleases , he may call such of the clergy as he thinks fit for his turn at that time , and turn the church either to presbytery , or independancy , or indeed what he pleases ? this was the way of our pretended reformation here in england . and by the same rule and authority , it may be altered into as many shapes and forms as there are fancies in mens heads . this looks like a very unkind requi●al ●o the church of england , for ●er zeal in asserting the magistrate's power against a foreign jur●sdiction ; to in●er from thence , that the magistrate may change the religion here which way he pleas●s . but althô we attribute the supream iurisdiction to the king ; yet we do not question but there are inviolable rights of the church , which ought to be p●eserved against the fancies of s●me , and the usurpations of others . we do by no means make our r●l●gion mutable , according to the magistrate's pleasure . for the rule of our religion is unalterable , being the holy scripture ; but the exercise of it , is under the regulation of the laws of the land. and as we have cause to be thankful to god ▪ when kings are nursing fathers to our church ; so we shall never cease to pray for their continuing so ; and that in all things we may behave our selves towards the● ▪ as becomes good christians , and loyal subjects ▪ an answer to the third paper . the third paper is said to be written by a great lady , for the satisfaction of her friends , as to the reasons of her leaving the communion of the church of england , and making her self a member of the roman catholick church . if she had written nothing concerning it , none could have been a competent judge of those reasons or motives she had for it , but her self : but since she was pleased to write this paper to satisfy her friends ; and it is thought fit to be publ●shed for general satisfaction , all readers have a right to judge of the strength of them ; and those of the churh of england , an obligation to vindica●e the honour of it , so far as it may be thought to suffer by them . i am sensible how nice and t●nder a thing it is , to meddle in a matter wherein the memory of so great a lady is so nearly concern'd ; and wherein such circumstances are mentioned , which cannot fully be cleared , the parties themselves having been many years dead : but i shall endeavour to keep within due bounds , and consider this paper with respect to the main design of it , and take notice of other particulars so far as they are subservient to it . the way of her satisfaction must needs appear very extraordinary ; for towards the conclusion confesses , she was not able , nor would she enter into disputes with any body . now where the difference between the two churches lies wholly in matters of dispute , how any one cou'd be truly satisfied , as to the grounds of leaving one church , and going to the other , without entring int● matters of dispute with any body , is hard to understand . if persons be resolved before-hand what to do , and therefore will hear nothing said against it , there is no such way , as to declare they will enter into no dispute about it . but what satisfaction is to be had in this manner of proceeding ? how could one bred up in the church of england , and so well instructed in the doctrines of it , ever satisfy her self in forsaking the communion of it , without enquiring into , and comparing the doctrines and practices of both churches ? it is possible for persons of learning , who will take the pains of examining things themselves , to do that , without entring into disputes with any body ; but this was not to be presumed of a person other condition . for many things must fall in her way , which she could neither have the leisure to examine , nor the cap●city to judg of , without the assistance of such who made it their business to search into them . had she no divines of the church of england about her ▪ to have proposed her scruples to ? none able and wi●ling to give her their utmost assistance in a matter of such importance , before she took up a resolution of forsaking our church ? this cannot be imagined ; considering not only her great quality ▪ but that just esteem they had for her whilst she continued so zealous and devout in the communion of our church . but we have more than this to say . one of the bishops who had nearest relation to her for many years , and who owns in print , that he bred her up in the principles of the church of england , was both able and willing to have removed any doubts and scrup●es with respect to our church , if she would have been pleased to have communicated them to him . and however she endeavoured to conceal her scruples ; he tells her , in his letter to her ( which he since printed for his own vindication ) that he had heard much discourse concerning her wavering in religion , and that he had acquainted her highness with it , the lent before the date of this paper ; and was so much concerned at it , that he obtained a prom●se from her , that if any writing were put into her hands by those of the chu●ch of rome , that she would send it either to him ▪ or the then bishop of oxford ▪ whom he le●t in attendance upon her . after which , he saith , she was many days with him at farnham ; in all which time she spake not one word to him of any doubt she had about her religion . and yet this paper bears date , aug. . that year , wherein she declares her self ch●nged in her rel●gion : so that it is evident she did not make use of the ordinary means for her own satisfaction , at least a to th●se bishops who had known her longest . but she saith , that she spoke severally to two of the best bishops we have in england , who both told her , there were many ●hings in the roman church , which it were much to be wished we had kept ; as confession , which was no doubt commanded of god ; that praying for the dead , was one of the ancient things in christianity ; that for their parts they did it daily , though they would not own it . and afterwards , pressing one of them very much upon the other points ; he told her , that if he had been bred a catholick , he would not change his religion ; but that being of another church , wherein he was sure were all things necessary to salvation , he thought it very ill to give that scandal , as to leave that church wherein he received his baptism . which discourses , she ●aid , did but add more to the desire she had to be a catholick . this , i confess , seems to be to the purpose ; if there were not some circumstances and expressions very much mistaken in the representation of it : but yet suppose the utmost to be allow'd , there could be no argument from hence drawn for leaving the communion of our church , if this bishop's authority or example did signi●y any thing with her . for supposing he did say , that if he had been bred in the communio● of the church of rome , he would not change his religion : yet he added , that being of another church , wherein were all things necessary to salvation , he thought it very ill to give that scandal , as to leave that church wherein he had received his baptism . now why should not the last words have greater force to have kept her in the communion of our church , than the former to have drawn her from it ? for why should any person forsake the communion of our church , unless it appears necessary to salvation so to do ? and yet this yielding bishop did affirm , that all things necessary to salvation were certainly in our church ; and that it was an ill thing to leave it . how could this add to her desire of leaving our church ? unless there were some other motive to draw her thither , and then such small inducements would serve to inflame such a desire . but it is evident from her own words afterwards ▪ that these concessions of the b●shop could have no influence upon her : for she declares , and calls god to witness , that she would never have changed her religion , if she had thought it possible to save her soul otherwise . now what could the bishop's words signi●y towards her turning , when he declares just contrary , viz. not only that it was possible for her to be saved without turning , but that he was sure we had all things necessary to salvation ; and that it was a very ill thing to leave our church ? there must therefore have been some more secret reason , which encreased her desire to be a catholick after these discourses : unless the advantage were taken from the b●shop's calling the church of rome the catholick religion ; if he had been bred a catholick , he would not have chang'd his religion . but if we take these words so strictly , he must have contradicted himself ; for how could he be sure we had all things necessary to salvotion , if we were out of the catholick church ? was a b●shop of our church , and one of the best bishops of our church , as she said , so weak as to yeild , that he was sure all things necessary to salvation were to be had out of the communion of the catholick church ? but again ; there is an inconsistency in his saying , ●hat he thought it very ill to leave our church ; which no man of common sense would have s●id , if he had believed the roman church to be the catholick , exclusive of all others that do not join in communion with it . the utmost then that can be made of all this , is , that there was a certain bishop of this church , who held both churches to be so far parts of the catholick church , that there was no necessity of going from one church to another . but if he asserted that , he must overthrow the necessity of the reformation , and consequen●ly not believe our articles and homilies , and so could not be any true member of the church of england . but the late bishop of winchester hath made a shorter answer to all this ; for he first doubts , whether there ever were any such bishops who made such answers ; and afterwards he affirms , that he believes there never was , in rerum naturâ , such a discourse as is pretended to have been between this great person , and two of the most learned bishops of england . but , god be thanked , the cause of our church doth not depend upon the singular opinion of one or two bishops in it , wherein they apparently recede from the establish'd doctrine of it . and ▪ i am sure those of the church of rome take it ill from us , to be charged with the opinion of particular divines , against the known sentiments of their church . therefore supposing the matter of fact true , it ought not to have moved her to any inclination to leave the church of england . but after all , she protests , in the presence of almighty god , that no person , man or woman , directly or indirectly , ever said any thing to her ( since she came into england ) or used the least endeavour to make her change her religion ; and that it is a blessing she wholly owes to almighty god. so that the bishops are acquitted from having any hand in it , by her own words ; and as far as we can understand her meaning , she thought her self converted by immediate divine illumination . we had thought the pretence to a private spirit had not been at this time allowed in the church of rome . but i observe , that many things are allowed to bring persons to the church of rome , which they will not permit in those who go from it . as the use of reason in the choice of a church ; the judgment of sense ; and here , that which they would severely condemn in others as a private spirit , or enthusiasm ▪ will pass well enough if it doth but lead one to their communion . any motive or method is good enough which tends to that end ; and none can be sufficient against it . but why may not others set up for the change as to other opinions upon the same grounds ▪ as well as this great person does , as to the change from our church to the church of rome ? and we have no pretenders to enthusiasm among us , but do as solemnly ascribe the blessing wholly to almighty god ; and look on it as the effect of such prayers as she made to him in france and flanders . but i wonder a person , who owed her change so wholly to almighty god , should need the direction of an infallible church ; since the utmost they can pretend to , is no more than to have such an immediate co●duct ; and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that can be meant by it , is , that she had no assistance from any other persons . which m●y not exclude her own endeavours : but supposing them to be employed , and an account to be here given of them : yet there is no connexion between any of the premises , and the conclusion she drew from them ; and therefore it must be immediate impulse , or some concealed motive which determin'd her choice . the conclusion was , that she would never have changed , if she could have saved her soul otherwise . if this were true , she had good reason for her change ; if it were not true , she had none ; as it is most certain it was not . now let us examine how she came to this conclusion ; and i will suppose it to have been just in the m●thod she sets it down in . first , she ●aith , she never had any scruples till the november before ; and then they began upon reading dr. heylin's history of the reformation ; which was commended to her as a book to settle her ; and there she found such abominable sacriledg upon henry the th's divorce , king edward's minority , and queen elizabeth's succession , that she could not believe the holy ghost could ever be in such counsels . this was none of the best advices given to such a person , to real dr. heylin's history for her satisfaction . for there are two distinct parts in the history of our reformation : the one ecclesiastical , the other political : the former was built on scripture and antiquity , and the rights of particular churches ; the other on such maxims which are common to states-men at all times , and in all churches , who labour to turn all revolutions and cha●ges to their own advantage . and it is strange to me that a person of so great understanding should not distinguish these two . whether henry the th were a good man or not ; whether the duke of somerset raised his estate out of the church lands , doth not concern our present enq●iry ; which is , whether there was not sufficient cause for a reforma●ion in the c●u●ch ? and if there was ▪ whether our church had not sufficient authority to re●orm it self ? and if so , whether the proceed●ngs of our reformation were not j●st●fi●ble by the rules of scripture and the ancient church ? these were the proper points for her to have considered , and not the particular faults of princes , or the m●scarri●ges of ministers of state. were not the vices of alexander the th and many other heads of the chu●ch of rome for a whole age together , by the confession of their own greatest writers , as great at least as th●se of henry the th ? and were these not thought sufficient to keep her from the church of rome ; and y●t the others were sufficient to make her think of leaving our church ? but henry the th ▪ church was in truth the church of rome under a political head , much as the church of sicily is under the king of spain . all the d●fference is , henry the th took it as his own right ; the king of spain pretends to have it from the pope , by such concessions , which the popes deny . and suppose the king of spain's pretence were unlawful to that jurisdiction which he challengeth in the kingdom of sicily ; were this a sufficient ground to justify the thoughts of separation from the church of rome ? but the duke of somerset raised his estate out of church●land● ▪ and so did many courtiers in the reign of queen el●zabeth . are there not miscarriages of the like nature in the church of rome ? what is the popes making great estates out of the church-lands , for their nephews to be princes and dukes ? a thing not unheard of in our age. and is it not so much worse to be done by the head of the church ? these she confesses were but scruples ; but such as occasioned her examining the points in difference by the holy scripture . now she was in the right way for satisfaction , provided she made use of the best helps and means for understanding it ; and took in the assistance of her spiritual guides ▪ but it seems , contrary to the doctrine of the church of rome ▪ she ●ound some things so easy there , that she wondred she had been so long without finding them out . and what were these ? no less than the real pre●ence in the blessed sacrament ; the infallibility of the church , confession , and praying for the dead . these were great discoveries to be made so e●sily , considering how those of the church of rome , who have been most vers'd in these matters , have ●ound it so difficult to make them out from thence . ( . ) as to the real presence ; as it is in the dispute between us and the church of rome , it implies the real and substantial change of the elements into the body and blood of christ. but where do our saviour's words , in calling the sacrament his body and blood ▪ imply any such thing ? the wi●est persons of the church of rome have confessed , that the bare words of our saviour can never prove it ; but there needs the authority of the church to interpret them in that sense . how then could she so easily find out that , which their most learned men could n●t ? but there is nothing goes so far in such discoveries as a willing mind . ( . ) as to confession . no doubt the word is often used in scripture , and therefore easily found . but the question between us , is not about the usefu●n●ss or advantage of confession in particular cases ▪ but the necessity of it in all ca●●s , in order to remssion of sins . and i can hardly believe any bishop of our church would ever say to her , that conf●●●ion in this sense was ever commanded by god. for then he must be damned himself if he did not confess every known s●n to a priest. but some general expression might be used , that confession of sin was commanded by god ; confess your sins one to another : but here is nothing of a p●rticular confession to a priest , necessary in order to forgiveness of sin. ( ▪ ) as to praying for the dead ; it is 〈◊〉 to find any place of scripture which seems to have any tendency that 〈◊〉 unless it be with respect to the day of iudgment ▪ and that very 〈…〉 great person to think it not possible to be saved in 〈◊〉 church , unless we prayed for the dead ? how did this come to be a point of salvation ? and for the practice of it , she saith , the bishops told her they did it daily . whether they did it or not , or in what sense they did it , we cannot now be better informed : but we are sure this could be no argument for her to have the communion of out church , because she was told by these bishops they did it , and continued in the communion of it . ( . ) lastly ; as to the infallibility of the church . if this , as applied to the roman church , could be any where found in scripture , we should then indeed be to blame not to submit to all the definitions of it . but where is this to be ●ound ? yes , christ hath promised to be with ●his church to the end of the world. not with his church but with his apostles : and if it be restrained to them , then the end of the world is no more than always . but suppose it be understood of the successors of the apostle● ; were there none but at rome ? how comes this promise to be limited to the church of rome ; and the bishops of antio●h and alexandria ▪ and all the other eastern churches ( where the bishops as certainly succeeded the apostles , as at rome it self ) not to enjoy the equal benefit of this promise ? but they who can find the infallibility of the church of rome in scripture , need not d●spair of finding whatever they have a mind to there . but from this promise she concludes , that our saviour would not permi● the church togive the laity the communion in one kind , if it were not lawfull so to do . now in my opinion , the argument is stronger the other way ; the church of rome forbids the doing of that , which christ enjoyned ; therefore it cannot be infallible , since the command of christ is so much plainer than the promise of infallibility to the church of rome . but , from all these things laid together , i can see no imaginable reason of any force to conclude , that she could not think it possible to sa●e her soul otherwise , than by embracing the communion of the church of rome . and the publick will receive this advantage by these papers , that there by it appears , how very little is to be said by persons of the greatest capacity . as well as place , either against the church of england , or for the church of rome . finis . errata . page . line . for siking , read sinking . books printed for and sold by robert thornton , bookseller , at the sign of the leather-bottle , in skinner-row . copies of two papers written by the late king charles the second of blessed memory , and published by command of his present majesty . — together with an answer to the said papers . an abridgment of the english military discipline , printed by his present majesties especial command for the use of the forces throughout his dominions . a papist misrepresented and represented : or , a twofold character of popery . the one containing a sum of the superstitions , idolatries , cruelties , treacheries , and wicked principles of that popery which hath disturb'd this nation above an hundred and fifty years ;

we hold it our duty to use all possible means & i joyn with you , the messengers ( we hope ) of a true peace between our self and all our loyal subjects , and that by you ( the instruments imployed in behalf of our kingdoms , there may be wrought such a perfect union and conjunction , between our self , and our people , who professe to be so sincerely affected with the same pious desire of the publick good as may ( god giving the successe ) produce a right understanding between our self and you to make up all thpse great and innumerable breaches between us , and our loyal subjects , which by a misunderstanding have been planted and long continued betwixt us and them . and wherers we do understand that you have undertaken this great work to treat with us , we shall adhere to any propositions , that may conduce to the glory of god , and the maintenance of the true protestant religion , the just and inseperable right of the crown , and the priviledges of a free and full paaliament , elected by the free consent of our people , and to the just rights and liberties of our subjects , and that to the end a treaty tending to peace may not ( as formerly ) be founded on the blood of our good subjects . we cannot indeed acquaint you with the inexpressible joy that we are sencible of to finde our poor distressed and distracted kingdoms in some hopes of settlement , and restoration of its pristine glory , by the establishing of our self ; which we know and are confident is the earnest desire of all our loving subjects , being now at last unvail'd , whereby they see cleatly the cruelty of those task-masters who aspers'd us their lawfull king with the name of tyrant , and have themselves destroyed our estates with the estates of several of our good subjects to maintain their violences , inrich themselves with the ruins of our good people , and overthrow our royal prerogatives , and the ancient fundamentall lawes of our kingdoms . whereas it hath been publikely declared to our good people ( which your selves cannot be ignorant of ) that our intent was to come over with forreign force ( thereby to corrupt the good opinion of our loving subjects ) we do professe from the bottom of our heart it was never our thought to take any such course to regain our right , and settle our self in the royal throne and dignity of our father , but what we might in justice , both according to the lawes of god and nature prosecute for the recovery of our own birth-right ;

our chiefest aim being onely to endeavor what in us lies to compose the difference between our self and you ( who are employed in the behalf of all our good subjects ) according to the instructions you have received , so far as may stand with gods glory , and the honour and safety of our self ; to which end and purpose we have already provided several peaceable propositions which will be presented to your hands an this present happy and ( we hope ) successfull meeting . who knowes but that the divine providence hath sent you to us , that you ( by our royal assent to your happy endeavours ) may be made the joyful instruments of a well-grounded peace , and of restoring religion to its purity , the church to its rights , our self to our royal prerogatives , the lawes to their channel , and our good subjects to their liberties : all which if you resolve to joyn with our self in performance of , may crown our kindoms with eternal honour . and since it is manifest by the laws of god , of nature , of our kingdoms , and of humanity , that the government of the kingdom is due to one , why not to our self , by birth your countryman , by education a protestant , by profession and actions your pious prince , and by his gracious compliance confident in your loyalty and obedience . let us truly make a covenant with heaven , religion and justice , and we may soon make up all the breaches of dissention in our kingdoms by an happy union . brussels march . anwerp , printed cum privilegio . . march . . a discription of tangier, the country and people adjoyning with an account of the person and government of gayland, the present usurper of the kingdome of fez, and a short narrative of the proceedings of the english in those parts : whereunto is added, the copy of a letter from the king of fez to the king of england, for assistance against his rebellious subjects, and another from grayland to his sacred majesty charles the second : with divers letters and passages worthy of note / translated from the spanish into english, and published by authority. approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page images. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

especially considering that the book is an outlandish one , and the author a spanyard ; then whom none go a greater way about , either to do what they say , or to say what they see . you are to take notice , that the geography and history are translated by one hand , and the letters by another ; but both very exactly compared with the original , and transmitted to the world upon the faith and honour of very ingenious persons . here is in the original an exact account of the whole kingdome , as to all the remarkable particulars in it : but we thought fit onely to take its general delineations , together with its chief ports and towns , and the places nearest tangier , as most peculiarly concerning us , whether as we possess that place , or trade that way . i will adde no more , but that i must needs think that we are very happy now adays , since printing is so much improved , that the meanest person need bestow no more pains then a few hours reading to take that view of the world which hath cost others many years travelling : and that my lord rutherford earl of tiveot communicated to a * friend of his a little before his going over the last time , his designe of either publishing a new description of that country , or translating this , or compleating leo affricanus . we can do no more then perform the second , wishing heartily that so knowing , so observing , and so publick-spirited a person had lived to have done the first . a description of tangier . tangier or tangis , is one of the greatest and the very antientest city in fez. great it s now ; thrice as great , say the most skilful surveyors it hath been ; so antient , that we find it was built by those canaanites fled from the face of josuah ; there being an inscription left , and two pillars , whereon it is engraven to this purpose ; nos fugimus a facie josuae praedonis filii nave : that is to say , we here are the inhabitants of the land of canaan , that fled before the face of josuah the son of nun. we have heard much of hercules his pillars , but here one of them is to be seen , on a hill within seven miles of the place , as the other is over against it in spain : for here hercules is reported to have slain the gyant anteus , that the oftner he fell , the oftner he rose again , and could never be conquered as long as he could touch his mother earth . so considerable is this place , that claudius and other brave romans , drew here many legions that they lost before the place ; which they at last gained , and gave a new name , viz. julia t●aducta ; yet in spite of that fa●e that devolved the world upon that great city , t is corner of it returned at once to its old liberty , and antient name , that it retains unto this day . when the romans could do no good , the ingenuous portuguez guessing there was a shorter cut that way than that which they knew formerly to the indies , and yet that that cut could not be securely passed without an interest and hold in that country ; vasquez gama attempts the expedition . and with so much success , that he found the streights of gibralta , but lived not either to instruct or encourage others to make use of , or improve his noble discovery . yet he found the continent large , the sea towns strong , the inhabitants numerous ; and breaking in to some sea ports , spoyled them until he came to the atlantique , where he dyed . none could second him but a prince , and henry duke of visco doth it as far as his estate or credit goeth ; he consults the experience of all the sea commanders , sends for the astronomers and navigators , peruseth all the cosmography that was then in the world ; he sets out , and is tossed along the waters , until he finds a promontory , or an head of land , hanging out to the sea ; this he called presently , the cape of good hope : yet he fails , at once the love and grief of that coast . jo. the d . seconds him , and under the conduct of degola . gets in to the princes island , takes angola , i mean the city so called , and with the assistance of bartholomew diaz gets in to quilon , mosambique , and melinde , with the king of the last whereof he made a league , and with his help and direction found port caliculo , and that way to the east-indies ; but he dyeth too , and his enterprize with him . a vasquez had the honour to begin this discovery , and a vasquez hath the honour likewise to compleat it . he therefore , almeda , and albu-quierque , finding their way clear to the indies , but not safe through the streights as long as those moors possessed the maritime forts , they destroy hamar , ruine bazre , take arzilla , and after much expence of bloud and treasure under alphonso the th . win tangier ; hard it was to win this town which was the very strength of fez. the mistress of the sea , the key of the inland-countrey , the sanctuary of all male-contents and enemies . sometimes we have , sometimes , sometimes an , yea sometimes before it ; besides the noblest voluntiers . once there the two kings of morocco and fez. the princes of ezhagger , asgarre , benj. jessen , alcazaer , nobles , well horsed gentry , all in gold and silver ; and that we may see the christians care was not less to keep , than the infidels were to regain it . sebastian king of portugall draws out foot , horse , to which stukely a prince at least in conceit , who had men given him to reduce ireland to the obedience of the pope , & the king of spain , and was created by his holyness to that purpose , no less than marquess of lempster , earl of weaford , lord rosse added his fortunes , and in one day all four princes , viz. sebastian , stukely , mahomet , and abdemelech , fell therewith no less than men . upon sebastians death , the spaniards had the place , with the kingdome of portugall , untill the revolt . when this city , with that kingdome , returned to its wonted obedience . tangier , say the inhabitants , was by seddei the son of had , compassed about with walls of brass , and the roofs of them covered with gold ; for the building whereof , he exacted great tributes of the cities of the world , believe it who can . it s distance from the streights of gibralter is miles , and from the city of fez. . it hath been alwayes a civill , famous , and well-peopled town , and very stately and sumptuously built , the field thereto belonging not very fertill , or apt for health ; howbeit not farr off are certain vallies continually watred with fountains , which furnish the said city with all sorts of fruits in abundance : without the city also grows certain vines albeit upon a sandy soil . the country was well inhabited untill such time as arzilla was surprised by the portugals ; for then the inhabitants being dismayed with rumors of wars , took up their bag and baggage and fled unto fez. whereupon the king of portugall his deputy at arzilla sent one of his captains thither , who kept it so long under the obedience of the king , till the king of fez. sent one of his kinsmen also to defend a region of great importance near unto the mountains of gum●ra , being enemy to the christians . twenty five years before the portugal king wan this city , he sent forth an armada against it , hoping that the city being destitute of aid , while the king of fez. was in wars against the rebels of mecnase , would soon yeild it self ; but contrary to the portugals expectation , the fessan king concluding a suddain truce with them of mecnase , sent his counseller with an army , who encountring the portugals , made a great slaughter of them , and among the rest slew their general , whom he caused to be carried in a case or sack unto new fez. and there to be set upon an high place where all men might behold him . afterward the king of portugal sent a new supply , who suddenly assailing the city in the night , were most of them slain , and the residue enforced to flee ; but that which the portugal king could not bring to pass with those two armadas , he atchieved at length ( as is aforesaid ) with small forces , and little disadvantage ▪ in my time mahomet king of fez. left no means unattempted for the recovery of this city ; but so great alwayes was the valour of the portugals , that he had ever ill success . these things were done in the hegeira . which was in the year of our lord . some miles from tangier was casor and ezzagor , in an open and pleasant place , over against the coast of granada , but surprized by the portugez ; and notwithstanding many attempts by the king of fez , what with money ( which is the first offer they alwayes make ) and what with men to recover it , it is utterly lost and ruin'd . within mile of tangier is tettuan , called so from tet teguin , or one eye , because of the one eyed woman that had the command over it , under the goths ; fourscore and fifteen years . it was desolate after the portugals first invasion , until it was rebuilt by almandaly , who fortified it with a wall and a ditch , from whence he cruelly molested septa , casor and tangier , upon the coasts whereof he made dayly incursions and inroads , putting all christians he took to work in his forts by day , and lye in sackcloath and fetters within the deepest dungeon in the night . some miles off is arzitta a fair town , between which and tangier if that correspondence could be kept which was designed by pedro navarro , the trade and government of that place would lye at our mercy , the portugals having shewed us an example how we might surprize their forts , as they did that of narangia , by a stratagem . take their isles , as they did getria with a fleet . demolish their cities , as they did bafra and homari . round about tangier are the wild but fruitful mountains chebal , rahina , beni-how , beni-chestev , whither the moors fled and seated themselves since the portugez took tangia or tangier , from whence they made such invasions even into those mountains , that the infidels were hardly able to live there ; till of late by the neglect of the portugez they have been able to build forts and strong holds in those high places , from whence they infest us at pleasure , having two advantages , whereof the first is their warlikeness , and the second their woods . . this place stands very convenient to secure and advance the indian commerce as far as those places where there are more riches than were ever yet discovered unto the world. . it commands the barbarians within , who could never look the portugez in the face til of late . . and all nations without , who must ask its leave to pass to and fro the streights , to the great treasury of the world : the authority of that town well managed , may make the masters of it arbitrators of the interest of europe . . it may be a free port , or a kind of a sound , to which all nations on this side the line may be glad to have addressed themselves . . it will be a great relief and security to our merchants in their long voyages to the indies . . in that place there may be bred as in a seminary , such souldiers and others as may be inured to the temper and way of that country , and therefore may be in a capacity to carry on our interest in those coasts as far as justice and honour will give way , yea & we may draw thence a regiment or two of veteranes , upon any occasion at home . no man knoweth but themselves , what advantage the hollanders enjoy , and the french promise themselves from one or two towns upon any of these coasts . the christians had another excellent harbour upon the mediterranian , called bedis , or velles de gumern , which ferdenand king of castile took , by shutting it up , with two forts that commanded it , and kept it two years , until it was betrayed by a false treacherous spaniard ( who slew the governour , because he had taken his wife from him ) into the moors possession , and all the christians were slain , not a man escaping , save only the spanish traytor , who , in regard of his treason , was greatly rewarded both by the governour of bedis , and also by the king of fez. anno . true , it is a wild kind of harbour , lying open to the sea , without any windings or high-land-shelter ; so that let the wind blow from what compass it will , the ships riding there are exposed to the sury of it ; and upon the dragging of an anchor , wracks do commonly follow upon the adjoyning strand ; but that is to be remedied by a moll , such as that in weymouth , of two furlongs compass ; that may be raised by the shoar , some twenty yards high , within which the ships may ride safe and quiet . the lawful government of this country by kings . the xeriff of fez , whose dominion reacheth from capo boiudor to tangier , n. s. and from the atlantique to the river melvia ; the fairest , fruitfullest , best inhabited , and most civil port of all africk ; and likewise the most trafickable , as well in reference to the passage that way to the indies , as to the commodities there afforded : hath continued his government from the year . to this day , after this manner . a subtle , learned and ambitious mahumetan , benumotto , . boasting his descent from mahomet , laid a design in numidia , where he lived , to possess mauritania , tingitania , while the moors and portuguez were at variance : to this end , he sent his three sons on pilgrimage to mella and medina , that returning thence with a great fame for their religion , the people might reverence them , as they did , when they went up and down as men ravished with contemplation , alwayes crying ala ! ala ! the cunning father sends them to the king of fez , where they had no sooner got into esteem , than they desired to display their banners against the christians . the kings brother smelt the design , and asked the xeriff ; if these holy men conquered the christians , who should conquer them ? but their pretended holiness carried it , first for a commission from the king , and then for a whole multitude of men , that followed the devout men , giving them a tenth of their estate for the cause : with these men they poysoned the king of morocco , set up xeriffo , and his son ; who , with the assistance of the christian renegadoes , over-ran the whole country ; whereof . amet , . . mahomet , . . abdalla , . . abdalla , . . mahomet the second , who was murthered , . . hamet abdalla , . . maly shecti , . . sidon , who rebelled against him , . . hamet abdall , . against whom a hermit stirred up the people . . misil tira , . who writ to king charles the first of glorious memory , for assistance against the rebells , to this purpose . a letter from the king of fez and morocco , to the king of england . when these letters are so happy as to come to thy renowned majesties pure hands , i wish the spirit of the righteous god may direct thy mind , to consider , that regal majesty is given men , to reward the good , and punish the bad : for we are the servants of the creator , to do good to the world , that it may bless us : for we are like those coelestial bodies , that have our reverence for our beneficence ; which i speak not as if i would instruct thee , whose mind is so clear , and whose apprehension is so quick , that thou art one of the great gods greatest viceroy that is in europe , there are a company of rebells and pirates , that molest thy people , and are too hard for me ; if thou wilt assist me , and right thy self against them , thou wilt be as glorious as the sun , and thy name shall perfume all ages , who shall sing thy virtue equal to thy power . thy god is a lyon of the tribe of juda , and a prince of peace ; one that seeks peace through war : thy father was a peace-maker , by his power , as well as his counsel . thy god increase thine happiness , and thy dayes . fez . hegerin : . myralla shin , . who was judged to death in that fatal year . . mahomet a●dalla , against whom aguiland , or gayland , hath managed a rebellion to this day , after this manner . first , finding the people under a very great discontent , because of the christian invasions on the one hand , and their own kings oppressions on the other ; particularly , . because there was an order , that every man that married a wife , should bring her to court , and there offer her virginity to the in●idells lust . . because there was a licence to drink wine , contrary to mahomet's law. , because the king being weak , was about to treat with the christians , about building of forts in those countries , contrary to the fundamentalls of their religion . he stirs up the puritan mahumetans , i mean the zealots of that way , whereof he was one himself , ( for as cromwel was a preacher , so is gayland a priest ) to go up and down , and propnesie of woes , lamentations , and desolation ; some of which zealots pretended a familiarity with mahomet , that is , as our good people canted it , communion with god. then it was taught , that the law was corrupted ; that mahomet would come and reform it . to this cry were added discourses of humane liberty and slavery . this was helped with a dearth . the alteration of some old customes . the advancement of unworthy persons , and the admission of strangers the same year . to help forward the design , jealousie is raised between the king and the nobility , who now . hold their meetings , settle their correspondence , ( and so many overthrown estates , as there were so many votes for troubles ) new revelations are broached , and while the kingdom is in a hurly burly , an invasion is continued . the king is left so dest●●ure , that he cannot help himself : these discontented forlornes offer him their service , his necessity accepts it ; they tye him up , and gain to themselves the military power . now one general is set up , and when he falls anon another ; gayland shewing not himself , but as an eminent souldier , without whom the kingdom could not subsist . he foments the former jealousies , prolongeth the war , frustrateth all treaties , until at last there were two parties in the army , one for peace , another for war. now was his time to gratifie the warriours , to caress the souldiers , to whom his valour and conduct had endeared him . here is the case in short , the army must stand by him , or be disbanded ; hereupon they choose him general , he modelleth them . at last they remonstrate , that the king must be laid aside , as who had betrayed his country to foreigners . yet he kept this close until he overcame the enemy , shut up the christians in their garrison ; and then he turned upon his own masters , cut off some of his senate for ill advising ; and at last shut him up , as at this hour , within a strong city . sure there was an evil star , this last age that looked upon the world ; that all men , of all religions , were unanimously disposed to innovate , reform , ( as we call it ) and disturb the world. a description of the person and government of gayland , the present vsurper of the kingdom of fez. this gayland , since his success , hath his pedigree derived from mahomet , as cromwel had his from the welch kings . his person looks handsomer than his condition ; his look is fat and plain , but his nature close and reserved . he is plump , yet melancholy ; valiant , yet sly ; boysterous , yet of few words ; watchful , and lustful ; careful , and intemperate ; a contradiction in nature . although he hath a sadness , and a heaviness by nature , that becometh a priest : yet he hath gained a complaizance by art , that becomes a prince . he hath two qualities that may do any thing ; . perfidiousness , and . cruelty . when he swears most solemnly , then you may be sure he lyeth ; so treacherous he is : and when fawns most basely , then you must look for mischief ; so bloody he is . you shall have him . times a day at his devotion , and as many with his concubines , whom he never toucheth after sixteen ; having his ministers of pleasure to annoint him , and his ladies to that purpose : so prodigions is their lust there , that they take pleasure in haughtiness , when they cannot be naught themselves . you may be preferred and poysoned there in a day : to speak cunningly , to act daringly , to have many strong relations , a great estate , or one handsome wife , is reason enough to send a man into another world . gaylands calling is a butcher , and a priest ; for they have all trades there . he is setling a new way of religion , which he calls , the antient one : his council are all trades-men , that understand business very well ; and his judges the like : his brethren are his favourites , who yet are gelded , and so not dangerous . he hath little or no strength at sea , only his tampering under-hand with them of tunis and tripoli . he hath divided the country among his followers , who must be true to him , or they will not be so to themselves ; the old and loyal possessors being transplanted . when he is courted to a peace , he saith , it is in uain for him to think of peace , until he hath made himself terrible . his ports are strong ; his speech alwayes dubious , and knowingly intangled . his interest obliging him to a reserve ; for he dares neither clearly own his thoughts , nor totally disclaim them ; the one way endangering his design , the other his person : so that the skill of his port lyeth in this , neither to be mistaken by his friends , nor understood by his enemies . by this middle course , he gaineth time to remove obstacles , and ripen occasions , which to improve and follow is his peculiar talent . he is a slave to his ambition , and knoweth no other measure of good and bad , but as things stand in this or that relation to his end . honour , faith , and conscience , weighing nothing in that country , further than they subserve to interest . he is one that will hazard very little , if either money or wiles may do his work . he hath his renegadoes , from whom he hath learned all his skill in fortifications and guns . gaylands revenue . he receiveth from his tributary vassals , the tenths and first-fruits of their corn and cattel . for the first-fruits , he taketh no more than one for twenty , and the whole being above twenty ; and demandeth no more than two , though it amount to an hundred . for every dayes tilth of ground , he hath a ducket and a quarter , and so much likewise for every house ; as also , he hath after the same rate of every person above fifteen years old , male or female , and when need requireth a greater summ . and to the end that the people may the more chearfully pay that which is imposed upon them , he alwayes demands half as much more as he is to receive . most true it is , that on the mountains there inhabit certain fierce and untamed people , who , by reason of the steep , craggy , and inexpugnable situation of their country , cannot be forced to tributes ; that which is gotten of them is the tenth of their corn and fruits ; only that they may be permitted to have recourse in the plains . besides these revenues , the king hath the tolls and customes of fez , and of other cities ; for at the entring of their goods , the natural citizen payeth two in the hundred , and the stranger ten . amongst many other things , he hath the revenues of mills , which yield him little less than half a royal of plate , for every hanega of corn that is ground in fez ; where ( as i told you ) there are four hundred mills . the moschea of caruven had fourscore thousand duckets of rent : the colledges and hospitalls of fez had also many thousands : all which the king hath at this present . and further , he is heir to all the alcaydes , and them that have pension of him ; and at their death he possesseth their horses , armour , garments , and all their goods . howbeit , if the deceased leave any sons apt for the service of the wars , he granteth them their fathers provision : but if they be but young , he bringeth up the male children to years of service , and the daughters till they be married . and therefore , that he may have interest in the goods of rich men , he bestoweth upon them some government , or charge , with provision : wherefore , for fear of confiscation after death , every one coveteth to hide his wealth , or to remove far from the court , and the kings sight : for which cause , the city of fez cometh far short of her antient glory . besides , his revenues have been augmented of late years by mighty summs of gold , which he fetcheth from tombuto and gago , in the land of negros ; which gold ( according to the report of fame ) may yearly amount to three millions of duckets . his forces , and military strength . he hath not any fortresses of great importance , but only upon the sea coast , as cabo de guer , larache , and tetuan : for as the turks and persians do , so he placeth the strength of his estate in armed men ; but especially in horse . and for this cause he standeth not much upon his artillery ; although he hath very great store ( which his predecessors took from the portugalls , and others ) in fez , morocco , tarodant , and in the aforesaid ports ; causing also more to be cast when need requireth ; for he wanteth not masters of europe in this science . he hath a house of munition in morocco , where they make ordinarily six and forty quintalls of powder every month ; as likewise calivers , and steel bowes . his forces are , first , of two thousand seven hundred horse , and two thousand harquibuziers . the second is , of a royal squadron of six thousand gentlemen , being all of noble parentage , and of great account . these men are mounted upon excellent horses , with furniture and armes ; for variety of colours , most beautiful ; and for riches of ornament , beyond measure estimable ; for every thing about them shineth with gold , silver , pearls , jewells , and whatsoever else may please the eye , or satisfie the curiosity of beholders . these men , besides all sorts of provision for their family , receive further in wages , from seventy to an hundred ounces of silver a man. the third sort of forces which he hath , consisteth of his timarioth : for he granteth to all his sons , and brothers , and other persons of account and authority among the people of africk , or to the princes of the arabians , the benefit of great lordships and tenures for sustentation of his cavalry ; and the archiades themselves till the fields , and afterwards reap rice , oyl , barley , butter , sheep , hens , and money , and distribute the same monthly to the souldiers , according to the several qualities of their persons . they also give them cloth , linnen , and silk to apparel themselves , armes of offence and defence , and horses , with which they serve in the wars , and if they dye , or be killed , they allow them other . every one of these leaders contendeth to bring his people into the field well ordered . besides this , they have between four and twenty and thirty ounces of silver wages every year . his fourth military forces are the arabians , who live continually in their avari , ( for so they call their habitations , each one of them consisting of an hundred or two hundred pavilions ) governed by divers alchiades , to the end they may be ready in time of need . these serve on horseback ; but they are rather to be accounted thieves , than true souldiers . his fifth kind of forces military , are somewhat like unto the trained souldiers of christian princes ; and among these , the inhabitants of cities and villages of the kingdom , and of the mountains are enrolled , whom the king makes very little account of , and very seldom puts armes into their hands , for fear of insurrections and rebellions , except in the wars against the christians , for then he cannot conveniently forbid them : for it being written in their law , that if a moor kill a christian , or is slain by him , he goeth directly into paradice : men , women , and those of every age and degree , run to the wars hand afore head , that at least they may there be slain , and by this means gain heaven . . men he brought against tituan . yet he cannot long continue a war ; yea , not above . months , because his forces living on that provision which he hath daily coming in , as well for sustenance , as for apparel ; and not being able to have all this conducted thither , where the war requireth , it followeth of necessity , that in short time they must return home for their maintenance . we want nothing but men , and those men nothing but the apprehension of that infinite treasure we might have in mandinga , aethiopia , congo , angola , pratua , toroa , monomolapa , &c. if we could but bring this man to terms . his men march not all in company , but the respective commanders set forth two hours one after another , every one having its ambuscado and stratagem , not in any strict order of rank and file . ye though their discipline is not exact , their order is so without confusion and violence . all the commanders have their wives and boyes attending them well guarded . their hoarse drums serve to deafen the ears , and confound the senses to any other clamour , with some brass dishes , and wind instruments , to noise the varnes , carried by fellows on horse-back , a little before every company ; whose horses are very swift , it being a shame there to lose a drum. . his weapon is bow and arrow , an iron pole , a shrene , a petronel , a harque-buz , scemiter ; all over armed like a porcupine . they eat and lye in one blanket , tying their horses bridle to their armes while they graze . when they come towards an enemy , they march very exactly and silently , not a man , upon pain of death , daring to break the order . when they are near an engagement , the horse encompass their foot in the rear , in form of a half-moon or crescent ; those horse have order not to meddle with the enemy , but only to drive and necessitate the foot upon them , till they have peirced through their batalia , if possible ; and if they chance to recoyl , to hold them to the slaughter , till they have wearied and dulled the enemies swords ; and then the reserve and they together fall in with fresh fury and vigour : and this serves for all advantages of military policy , to quicken his multitudes through despair to high and gallant services . he chooseth rather to tire out a town , than storm it ; then as soon as he hath raised his battery , and made a kind of breast-work , with some mounts in it , to over-look the place , he makes his approaches in spite of the bullet , and filleth up the trenches with bodies , if he cannot do it with other matter ; and when once a breach is made , it s either a souldiers death in honour , or a doggs in the camp , for any to retreat . their patience and resolution making up their defect of skill and art. gaylands court. he hath one chief counsellour , to whom he gives a third part of his revenue , of whom he hath taken a secret oath , to establish his son after him . to him he adds a secretary , a treasurer , a steward , the captain of his guard , and the governours of the respective cities under his command . next them are his deputies , or major generalls , who have their provinces on condition they have in readiness on any occasion . horse a man. after these are his collectors of tribute ; and next them the commanders of forts , to awe the country to the payment of that tribute . he hath likewise a troop of light horse , who have nothing but their diet , save what they can plunder ; and apparel once a year : whose horses are attended by christian slaves , in shackles , carried about on camells . to these we may adde his purveyors , his grooms of the stable , his granators , and their notaries . he keeps . horse ready to execute any of his offices , decrees , and expedite their service . he hath the keeper of his seal , who over-looks all others , and is as it were lord high controllor . he is attended alwayes in pubick with . horse and foot. his armies are led by ensign-bearers , who are alwayes such as understand best all passages , fords , &c. the cities are bound at their own charge to send the magicians to the wars . he hath one , like a master of ceremonies , that sitteth at his feast , ordering every man to sit down in order , and speak in his turn . his concubines are all white , but the women he will have children by must be black . he goeth very plain , and feareth nothing more than gathering of taxes , the burden whereof their law hath mittigated , and the people cannot endure . when he goeth abroad , there is notice given to all his relations , and servants , who attend at his gate or tent , and march thence according to the harbingers direction in order . . the standard . . the drums . . the master of the horse . . the pensioners and guards . . the officers of state. then the sword , the shield , and the cross-bow ; and at last gayland and his favourite , with the footmen ; one whereof , the first carrieth his stirrups , the other his partizan , the . the covering of his saddle , the . the halter for his horse , and the . his curious pantofle ; after him come his eunuchs , his harquebuziers , and light horse ; of all which he is the plainest man. when he lyeth in the field ( as all those kings do most part of the year , to keep their subjects quiet ) his tent is four square like a castle , in the midst of his noble-mens , that make a town , made of cloath , with glistering spheres a top , and then the souldiers made of goats-skins . in the midst of all are his kitchin and pantrey ; next these pavilions are the artificers , the merchants , and other followers tents : next them the stables , and round them the foot , about them the horse , and the light-horse of the outside . you would think his tent is inacessible , yet are they sometimes so careless and sleepy , that enemies have been known to come within a furlong of his royal pavilion . barbarism , with all its care , hath not the art to secure it self . gaylands policies . . he hath a standing army , enriched with the spoyles of the king and country ; that will be undone , if it returns either to a peace , or any thing that may threaten a restitution . . most of the officers of this army , are related to himself , by kindred , or alliance . . all the old nobility , are either cut off , or kept under . . all the grievances that the people have lain under these forty years , are ordered to be brought to him in tables , and he hath the honour to redress them . . every body hath access to him himself ; provided , that they come with no mantle , or sleeves , or with their breasts opened . . he keeps his revells and gamballs , wherewith he takes the country people three times a year , as running , hunting , &c. . he employeth so many rigid officers over the respective provinces , as may exasperate them , and then he offereth those exactors a sacrifice to the vulgar fury ; gaining thereby , together with their rigour , the reputation of mildness and moderation . . the army knoweth not one day where it must be the next ; so marching it up and down at once , to keep the country from rising , and his followers from settling to any combinatior or confaederacy . . besies that , they are of so many nations and interests , that they can hardly ever close to any particular design against his general one . . he hath an excellent way of droll , whereby he at once pleaseth and discovereth the common humour . . he layeth out as much money as he can in slaves and renegadoes , to whom he is beholding for all his skill and conduct . . he hath wrought upon the necessities of those about his master the king , that there is not any order passeth him , whereof he hath not advertisment , before ever it comes to be put in execution . . he hath got in likewise with the two last viziers , and him that now governeth , by money ; whereof none hath so little use as the turk , and yet none more covetous . . it is as usual as can be with him to send in his own very souldiers and ingineers with provision , in the habite of country fellows to the very walls of tangier to descry in what posture things stand , and where he may make his most successfull attempts . . to countenance his own usurpations , he hath appointed priests and souldiers to regulate both the religion and law of the place ; both which he intends to publish , with certain new interpretations delivered , as he pretends , to two holy priests at tituar , who are now under ground for two years , discoursing with mahomet , and shall get up after the two years end with two trumpets , to reform the world. lord ! that there can be no treason , even in africa without inspiration . . there is now a design set on foot to draw the poor country that hath been harassed with these late divisions , and are ready to embrace any settlement , rather than the late disorders , to press him to take upon himself the soveraignty , as the most likely means to heal the breaches ( that we may borrow our modern elegancies ) and lay aside the unhappy xeriff as the grand obstacle of the peace and settlement . ( goodly , goodly ! sure the phanatique spirit hath possesled them , and they that turn the world upside down are gone thither also . . he is upon setling a company , to traffick upon the same terms that the europeans do ; at whose charge he intends such a navy may be equipped , as may give law to the streights , with the grand seigniours leave . . he doth intend to bring in some ambitious christian prince , with whose interest he intends to check all other pretenders . . he cannot endure any man that speaks cunningly and subtlely ; insomuch , that it is the way of his creatures , to make their addresses in clear terms , when canting parts are treason against tyrants . . his special cronies are the zealous and enthusiastick ecclesiasticks , with whose grave countenances he gains a great reverence to all his proceedings . . he keeps up a constant faction in his camp between his chief officers , whereby they watch one another so closely , that they cannot do any thing to his prejudice , for fear of one anothers mutual inspection and observation . divide & impera is got now beyond italy . . he trains up the moors to so much discipline , that they shall march . together , with that order and silence , for forty mile , that they cannot be discovered ; yea , there is not a word spoken in the camp for two dayes together sometimes , except in his own tent : and what is more remarkable , . or . of them shall lodge themselves in the fernes , and among the rising grounds , so that you may ride through those very grounds , and not discover a man , nay , bear up your belief a little longer , while i tell you , that . of them shall hide themselves in the sand , so as that you may go over them , and not discover them . . he armes his choice men very well , that they may survive his encounters to a considerable skill , experience and considence ; which if his men were cut off in every occasion , fresh-water-souldiers are not capable of : and besides , being so armed , he ordereth them not to charge until they come within execution of the enemy , which they will do manfully , bearing up against his charges to his very face . the proceedings of the english at tangier , since they possessed it , and were opposed by the vsurper gayland . among the many great benefits we proposed to our selves by our alliance with portugal , this is not the least , that we might enjoy a secure and free trade in africa and america , those treasures of the universe : in order to which end , we had in the year . the antient city of tangier delivered to us ; a place where we might in our traffick that way , both refresh , and secure our selves , and give law to others : and no sooner was it delivered to us , than the right honourable the earl of peterborough , listed . foot , and . horse ; the last in southwark , the first in black-heath , to possess and secure it . his officers were , captain levet , captain mordant , captain blake , captain anesley , captain belletore , captain clerk , captain fairborn , captain colls , captain car , captain nerve , major johnson , and lieutenant collonel sir james snith . and as his lordship prepared himself for the government of it from hence , so the right honourable the earl of sandwich , went thither october in the same year ; where he found strong fortifications , many fair gardens , and so well situated , that no ship can pass in or out of the streights , but ships as ride there may see and speak with them ; and that the portuguez were very civil to the english , and made great expressions of their welcome : and thereupon , in december following , the aforesaid honourable lord addressed himself for his charge , i mean the command of tangier , which we found situated strongly on the side of a hill , having one gate only to the water side , and land-ward four gates , one within the other ; and a great many good brass canons were mounted on the walls of it ; and in the middle of it we saw a fountain of water , that continually runneth with a very full stream , that conveyeth it self under the town . december . . the english and irish forces were embarqued in several vessels , according to my lord rutherfords order , from dunkirk to tangier ; never any souldiers were shipped to foreign service more willingly , never any carried more resolutely ; the number . old souldiers ; the commanders , col. fitz-gerard , col. farrel , sir robert horley , l. c : kingwell , major fiernes , captain summers , captain flord , captain herbert , captain emerson , captain brooks : no sooner was my lord upon the place , than he setled a very fair correspondence with the portuguez and moors there , upon the old portugal terms , until he could be able to procure himself better ; so that we had the accommodations of that place upon as good conditions as we could wish : in the mean time our works went on , our souldiers were inured to the country , we were better acquainted with the humour and interest of the people ; and in a word , had exacter observation of our advantages , in order to a further settlement . april . . the moors had a design of drawing upon tangier , whereof his excellency having intelligence by the arabian spies he employed to that purpose , drew up a regiment of foot , and a troop of horse ; but being not willing to spend any of his own men upon the barbarians , he sent out some moors who had heretofore revolted , and come in , and have been many wayes useful and serviceable to us ; who accordingly being horsed , encountred with a party of the enemy , in the sight of the town , and wounded the shots son , one of the principal persons of the country , of which wounds he is since dead , and his loss is much lamented by the infidels . in revenge whereof , as we conjecture , five dayes after a considerable party came within our trench , and one of their chief captains was killed by our artillery . these little braveries prejudice them more than they can annoy us , who can look on until the country is harassed and ruined with poverty , hunger and sickness . the moors will be necessitated in all probability ere long to a better complyance with tangier ; already many of them did run over to us with horses and cattel ; so that fresh provisions were no varieties ; and upon the whole matter our condition was much another thing than it was when we first setled there ; health , plenty , trade , security , and good government , having put us into a very setled condition ; and his excellency the lord peterborough , having so well and happily setled all the concernments , to the honour and advantage of his majesty , then ready , by his majesties grace and favour , to return into england , and put the city into his successors hands , having payed off all arrears , and filled up all stores and ammunitions . and as an argument of our prosperity , we had very good correspondenee with algier , together with a resolution to continue in amity with us ; they of sallee likewise desire a good understanding with us : tangier rendring england much more considerable to algier , than it would be , were this garrison in other hands . the works were strengthned by the same noble lord ; the garrison enlarged ; the quarters were disposed ; the rate of victualls was setled ; the guards were ordered , and . mile round clearly gained . but the earl of tiveot arriving , there began a little stone redoubt , which we perfected without any opposition from the enemy , also we made entrenchments and lines of communication from place to place , insomuch that a great deal of ground was left free to us , to feed our cattel in safety . thursday the th . of june we began another redoubt on the top of the hill , which overlooketh the town to the very ports thereof ; at the same time we made retrenchments beyond the hill that we might not be surprised , nor our works molested . gayland hearing of the consequence of this redoubt , and of our dayly retrenching , assembled his army consisting of horse , and foot , and encamps within a league of the town : two fugitives one after another brought us news that he resolved to attaque our works . upon sunday morning we divided our retrenchments into three posts : whereof col. fitz-gerard and his regiment , was to maintain that near the sea on the east : col. norwood , with half the governours regiments the middle post , wherein lay the new great redoubt : l. c. knightley , with the other half of the said regiment , where the little redoubts were on the right hand : col. bridges with the horse in the middest of all , to give succour as need should require , and repell the enemy if they entred our works : col. alsop the town major still visiting the posts ; the outmost lines of all for favouring the work-men being divided into three posts , commanded one by a lieutenant and men , another by an ensign and men , and the third by a serjeant and . we made a six pounder gun to be carried to the outmost line at the serjeants post , and gave order that after all , the garrison should be in readiness , and at the shooting of the said gun , should take arms ; which was accordingly executed at a clock at night ; and after the gun was brought off , all those outer lines were sown with chaustraps , cultrips or stories , whereof we brought over . and the avenues with sowgards or hollis , wherein was put powder as in a mine , and loaden above with stones , granadoes and swedes feathers were put into those farther posts . sunday the precisely at twelve a clock in the day , whenall the officers were retired to dinner , the ordinary guards in the retrenchments , appeared in an instant gaylands forces , who had long attaqued our outmost lines , ( the lieutenant , ensign and serjeants posts ) with three regiments of red and white colours , black colours , & one of a sort of violet colour , seconded by a regiment of horse . our souldiers surprised and amazed , abandoned their posts , and left the powder in the sowguards , with some granadoes , to the enemy , who pursued with incredible vigour the souldiers towards the town . mean time the great body of foot attaqued the great redoubt , and shewed more than ordinary resolution in standing firm before our granadoes and fire . in the fort was commander , by his turn , major ridgert with some forty men ; and to his succour came lieutenant-col . chun voluntier , and captain giles a lieutenant in the governours regiment , and several others reformed officers : which major & officers defended themselves most gallantly , killing about of the moors . the chaustraps that were sown about all the lines , and the redoubt in particular , were of wonderful use and effect : for the bare-footed moors , when they were pricked in the feet by them , sitting down to pick them out , were pricked behind . many both of foot and horse were so hurt . mean time , the colonel and lieutenant-colonels , with the officers , commanded in case of alarm to maintain the three posts ; as also col. bridges with his horse marched out , repulsed most gallantly the enemy , took in all their posts again ; and in the end the enemy retired in great hast and disorder . they lost , as near as we can conjecture by taking off the dead , ( for they never leave any bodies behind them , if possible ) above in all , being left within our lines , which they could not carry off , and several others in the fields ; colonel norwood with all imaginable gallantry going to the outer point before the redoubt , and captain needham with him . the said captain did kill a moor for his part , and for his pains was shot himself thorow the arm in the flesh only . we lost killed in the field , and twenty hurt with horse : and we suppose we had more of our men hurt from our inner line and walls , than by the enemy . it is reported by the portuguez and jews , that he had never lost so many men at any time . they are men of order and resolution , and have most excellent fire-arms and lances . i had forgot to tell you , that when the horse charged us , he that did command them was cloathed in crimson velvet ; who being killed , they went all off immediately : which maketh us suspect he was of eminent quality . after this encounter , an express was sent to complement gayland ; who returned the answer inclosed by one of his own domesticks , who confesseth that our crows feet or chaustraps did their foot great harm , and that they have lost many men . the earl of tiveots letter to gayland . written in spanish . the king my master having honoured me with the command of this place , i did not look for less courtesie than your excellencie used with my predecessor , giving me the welcome : but on the contrary , your excellencie stole from me the hour of eating , in which visits are usually received . notwithstanding what is passed , if your excellencie doth incline to a better correspondence , be it in peace or war , you shall not find me less disposed or provided , though it be at the same hour . valuing my self upon the laws of souldiery , i shall bury the dead bodies you left behind you : but if your excellencie desire to bury them your self , after you manner , you may send for them . god keep your excellencie the many years that i desire . tangier , june . gaylands letter to the earl of tiveot . written in spanish . signed above in arabick letters . i received your excellencies of the currant , in which you seem to complain , that i did not bid you welcome : whereas on the contrary it belongs to me to do so ; persons of your quality being accustomed in these parts to give notice of their arrival , and not to dispose of any thing , as your excellency hath done in my lands . notwithstanding , i gave order to my subjects , that , the occasion presenting it self , they should give good quarter to your excellencies , as they did with the centinel which they took the other day , whom i charged them to use well . as to the correspondence , it is well known how punctal i am in it ; of which you may be informed . i did not expect less from your excellencies courtesie , than you have used to the dead ; for which i am insinitely obliged to you . god keep your excellency many years , as i desire . postscript . if your excellency please to send any person or persons from you , you may do it ; and this shall secure him , which goes with my servant . the earl of tiveots reply . i received your excellencies of the currant , the same evening by the hands of your servant , who carries this back to you . to which i answer , that if there hath been any omission on my part , as to the accustomed civility of th●se countries , it was a sin of ignorance , for which your excellency hath sufficiently chastised . i am beholden to you for the good quarter which your excellency commanded to be given to the souldiers your men took the other day : if my good fortune gives me the same occasion , i will pay it with interest . as to what concerns the peace and good correspondence between the king my master and your excellency , there only wants a good disposition on your part , as it hath been treated formerly with my predecessor : to which if your excellency enclines , signifying it to me , i will send persons to effect it on my behalf . god k●●p your excellency many and happy years . from tangier , june . . notwithstanding these complements , gayland attempted a new work of ours with . men : but the most vigilant and excellent governour had so warily supplyed the defects of that place , by planting great gun to annoy the assailants ; that , though the assault was very sharp , the enemy was beaten off , and that with the loss of . men ; which entertainment they liked so ill , that the army was drawn off : and thereupon the said governour , as happy to improve advantages , as resolute to gain them , sent a letter to gayland , to let him know , that his master , the king of great britain , as he wanted neither resolution nor ability to manage his just right in that garrison : so he was so great a friend to peace , that he would be ready to entertain a better correspondency with his excellency : which seconded with the defeat , ( then only you oblige the unworthy , when you can awe them ) prevailed so much upon the usurper , that he sent messengers for a treaty , which had so fair a progress , that both parties came to an agreement . indeed so ill was gaylands success , so great our progress in fortifications ; such convenience we had for fresh air , and fresh victualls , that we were in a plight ( if it had been thought fit to have sent sir john lawson , to do as much by sea , as we could do by land ; to shut up the havens and towns of sallee and tituan , and batter a●sella to the ground . every day put us in a better state , both of freedom and security , having by our late treaty gained a six months peace , which did exceedingly conduce to our settlement . at our first arrival , a flux troubled us , but within six months our temper agreed exceedingly well with the temper of the climate . august . . the vigilancy , courage and conduct of the earl of tiveot , moved gayland ( in his own expression ) to require a peace ; which , although concluded but for six months , was by him desired for seven years : after which time the english forts are finished , and this advice waited upon his excellence , who was then embarquing for englond . at that time , the design of the mould , intended for the safety and advantage of shipping , was in a good forwardness of persection , the passage of the stone being out out of the rocks , & way made for a gun-powder blow , & undermining . there was a new key made , yards foundation laid , & yards raised above water ; & well they might for no place in the world afforded either better materialls , or those more conveniently disposed for the perfecting of such a work , which the moors call , and others shall find , the key of the world : indeed , they that understand the world , and themselves very well , look upon this place with great hopes of the reputation and advantage it may one day bring to the english nation . august . . the moors kept their peace made with the english very punctually , whom they treated , when they went down into their countries ( which is rich , and well inhabited ) with great civility . the earl of tiveot was much esteemed for his valour , and well beloved for his candour and humanity ; insomuch , as the very moors term him a good man. ( and indeed , he was a person of exact honour and integrity ) the place was healthy , and the situation pleasant , and provisions of sorts in such abundance , that a man can scarce live cheaper any where . but about this time we began our mould , and found it very hard to blow up the rocks under water , to make way for our boats and engines , which otherwise cannot bring stone , but with difficulty , at the top of high water : but in a month , way was made for our engines to weigh our stones , and in six weeks time we laid . yards of foundation , and raised that two yards high : it should seem we are better at this work than any other , this being better work than any in the streight . but that we might not only secure our selves , but oblige our neighbours ; we sent supplyes , with a great deal of hazard , to the saint & falle ; a favour he acknowledged so great , that he hath promised , when ever it is in his power , he will not be backward in requital . and now gayland complements his sacred majesty in spanish , to this purpose . a letter from gayland to his sacred majesty charles the second , king of england . sacred royal majesty , having been advertis'd by his excellency the earl of tiveot , of his sudden occasion to visit these parts ; i could not forbear this address in respect of the peace , and good intelligence we have lately affected in your majesties name . and having found his excellency a cavalier of great valour and honour , and of so noble a mind ; i could not choose but desire to correspond with him by my letters , to signifie my inclination of complyance in all things that concern the service of your majesty ; and which formerly i have forborn to do , for want of so fit a juncture to enable me . i hope from the divine savour , that this peace will be attended with many considerable augmentations in order to your majesties service , the effecting of which good work being iustly attributed ( with no small prais●s ) to the prudence of his excellency ; i beseech your maiesty to command him speedily back , that we may perfect all things with him so greatly to be loved and esteemed . if in any parts of our dominions there is any thing that offers it self for your majesties service , the signification of your commands shall be esteemed the greatest favour that can be expressed . god keep your maiesty , and give you all manner of felicity . and the governour of morocco to the king of portugal , thus . the copy of a letter from the king of tetuan , governour of morocco to the king of portugal sancta crux , june . . high and mighty , don alfonso , king of roman christians and of portugal , thanks be to god that we are obliged to give account , and none is free from that duty , and therefore we give him the prayse unto him due , and this praise is for the dayly favour we receive from him . by order of the servant of our lord god on high , to whom i submit all my affairs , who is called abdelazir mahomet , grand-son of aly ; this our writing in the name of god our lord. to your majesty the king of portugal , catholique d. alfonso , whom god bless , and after that we give thanks to god for having made us moors , and participate unto your majesty , how much we esteem the favour which you have done to my servants , who arrived in a little english vessel safe in the haven of sancta crux , together with the good news which i received from the king maly mahomet , to whom your majesty was generously pleased to give his liberty , and i for my part , cannot but he very thankfull , and doe offer my self and my subjects with all that which from this kingdom may be necessary , to your majesty without any fail : and your majesty , whom god bless , may out of hand make tryal thereof . and i do give my word , and so this letter goes signed by my hand and seal , and from hence forward will celebrate the peace between me and your majesty with these undernamed conditions which are . that all the portugal nation , and their contractions , may go , and come , enter , and come out feeely , into , or from any of my havens , by sea or land , with all security ; and in case they meet in the sea with the turk , or any other shipping , of whatsoever nation it be , coming out of any of my sea-port towns , they shall receive no damage . and also if any of your majesties vessels chance to have bad weather at their fishing , they may retire into this haven : wherein , ( although they meet with any shipping , either turks , or spaniards , or any nation whatsoever enemies to your majesty ) you majesties shipping or men shall be in no danger ; and as for the wheat and horses which shall be necessary for your majesty , all shall be punctually and with speed given to your majesty , whereof your majesty may make present tryal , sending ships , goods , money , and vessels , for the wheat and horses , and one that understands our language , whom your majesty may send in the company of maly mahomet who is there , to whom your majesty was generally pleased to give his liberty , for at his arrival here , he is to be king of morocco , where they expect him each hour , and the kingdom has no other heir by maly mahomet , and i engage for him , that he will perform his word in whatsoever he promiseth to your majesty , wherein he shall not fail as in duty bound , and is natural to him to do it : so waiting for maly mahomet , and for all your majesties orders , which i shall alwayes observe , and 〈◊〉 as your majestics loving subject and servant to god , who may bless your majesty , give you long life , and happy , and defend you from your enemies . your majesties friend , cide abdelazi , son of mahomet , grand-son of aly. hereupon we had free trade with the moors , they daily bringing their camels , laden with hides and skins , which is their chief commodity ; and in return they get money , and other provision : this place being the great market for those things that come from algier to tituan , and from thence hither ; especially when a square of . yards towards a molle was brought a yard above the water mark : that new experiment of maste-floates promoting our design exceedingly . indeed , so forward were we in february , that gayland began to be jealous of us , and therefore there are several debates between him and his excellency , the earl of tiveot , whether a war or peace . free he would have us to the fortification of those redoubts nearest the town ; but as for those further off , as the hollanders answer the ambassadors that come to them , saying , it may be so , we will consider : so said he , he would take . dayes time to think of it . and they have a saying amongst them , the meaning whereof i understand not ; . dayes make a wise man. but from debate it comes to action ; the moor comes on with horse and foot to hinder the enlargement of our quarters , as it concerned him , but was beaten off ; and , what is a shame in that country , left one of his horse colours behind him : neither is he more in earnest than we , for we banish all the jewes out of town , and go on a pace with the works , without any further attempt or interruption ; only when the lord governour declared , he could entertain no peace , without some more liberty allowed , and secured in the country : gayland advised with his mushrome grandees , his lords of the other house ; and after mature deliberation , he sent word by two of his principal officers , and his secretary , which was to this effect ; that , having consulted all his savois and rabbies upon the point , it appeared , that they were bound by a law not to suffer christians to fortifie in africa ; but if his excellency accepted of quarters , as in the portuguez time , they were willing to give them . to which my lord replyed ; that , he must either have peace with those terms aforesaid , or war without them . and the very next week his lordship commenced a new redoubt upon the utmost liue ; against which work , what stratagems ! what ambuscadoes ! what surprizes ! while we were so confident , that one writes to england thus . we expected gaylands whole army any time these seven dayes ; if he stayes but two dayes longer , he must come to our terms , and suffer this place to be comfortable to the garrison , and the inhabitants : or , which is more , let him come when he will , we question not , but we shall maintain our ground in spite of his heart : we have good lines to defend ; and better men certainly are not in the world : to which must be added ; that we have a governour , under whose conduct ( with gods ordinary providence ) we can fear nothing . but ah ! humane confidence ! he was an excellent man , but a man still ; for the next news you heard , was ; that the earl of tiveot , designing to cut wayes and passages in an adjoyning wood , that was as great annoyance to tangier , as it was a shelter to the moors ; and having in vain sent out scouts , who were suffered to graze their horses in the midst of the enemies , who lay undiscovered , behind those rising grounds , in fernes , and thick grass ; fell into an ambuscado of the whole infidel army , where he sold his life at a dear rate ; a life indeed invaluable but that there are many such lives comprehended in his sacred majesties large and universal care ; which hath that influence even upon this distant place ; that , notwithstanding gaylands attempts upon it several times since that miscarriage , not only secures , but advanceth it to as much reputation as ever it enjoyed since it was in the christians hands . how many millions would the french give for such a place ? who are now to seek for a footing in those coasts . the soyl is proper for any grain , or trees , and asketh nothing but dressing to be admirable . there is no need of carrying provision thither , as to other plantations , for the support of the colonies ; the abundance of things there being so great , that the country produceth enough for its self , and to spare . the waters are excellent ; the fruits delicious , and and without hyperbole ; the place may be improved into a paradice : over and above this , there are golden mines , in such plenty , that in great falls of rain , and ravages of water , the veins of gold discovered themselves , all along the coast , and upon the mountains . the inhabitants are of a disposition tractable enough , & with good words , are ready and willing to be employed in any service ; being a people humble , and obedient , and of a very good humour . the country is shared among divers petty pretenders , who are still making warr one upon the other ; and from whose disagreement we might easily take a rise to an absolute establishment of our selves among them . beyond this place the trading lyeth open without difficulty into india ; and more commodiously yet to the country of aethiopia , where commerce is scarce understood , and where are the richest gold mines upon the face of the earth . in a word , there is not any where a fitter place for a general magazine of all commodities to be brought from those parts into europe , than is this place ; from whence we may carry the business of commerce and discovery further than any have yet done before us . besides that , the place is of so gentle a climate , that what cloaths serve us here in the spring , may serve us there all the year ; and having within its self whatsoever may honestly , by way of commerce , serve either to the pleasure , plenty , or necessities of humane life . adde to this , that lying in a middle way , it secures us from the danger and loss o● long and tedious voyages backwards and forwards , which we were tired with before this acquists ; which is as good a breathing place as can be , with all conveniences about us , to refresh our men , and follow our course at pleasure : wheras others meet no relief between india & home commonly at . months voyage ; for want of which , they are so miserably harassed with the journey , that a long time it takes them to recover it . and over and above all this , when others are come as far as tangier , they dare not pass the channel without our leave , which they may be made either to fight , or pay for . again , this openeth an honest way of livelyhood to those english men , whose necessities have debauched them to unable and shifting wayes of living ; this relieveth the poor , that must either begg or starve ; employeth those whose languishing industry is as good as lost , because not exercised : and brings back that sincere and quiet way of dealing , which is now lost among a lazy sort of men , that have nothing to do but to be troublesome . what natural impressions and motions the air of africa is subject unto , and what effects ensue thereupon . throughout the greatest part of barbary stormy and cold weather begin commonly about the midst of october . in december and january the cold groweth somewhat more sharp in all places , howbeit this hapneth in the morning only , and that very gently and remisly . in february the weather is somewhat mitigated , but very unconstant . in march the north and west winds usually blow , which adorns the trees with blossoms . in april cherries are commonly ripe , and all fruits attain to their proper form and shape . in the midst of may they gather their figs ; and in mid - june their grapes are ripe in many places : in which month and july their pears , sweet quinces , and their damascens attain unto sufficient ripeness . their figs of autumn may be gathered in august , howbeit they never have so great plenty of figs and peaches as in september . by the midst of august they usually dry their grapes in the sun , whereof they make reisons , which if they cannot finish in september , by reason of unseasonable weather , of their grapes as then ungathered they use to make wine and must . in the midst of october they take in their hay , and gather their pomegranets and quinces . in november they gather their olives , beating them off their boughs with certain long poles , by reason of the tallness of their trees , which no ladder can reach . they have three months in the spring always temperate . they begin their spring on the fifteenth day of february , accounting the eighteenth of may the end thereof , all which time they have most pleasant weather , but if from the five and twentieth of april , to the fifth of may , they have no rain fall , they take it as a sign of ill luck , which wa●er they call naisau , that is , water blessed of god , and some store it up in vessels , most religiously keeping it as an holy thing . their summer lasteth till the sixteenth of august , all which time they have most hot and clear weather ; except perhaps some showers of rain fall in july and august , which do so infect the air ; the great plagues and pestilent fevers fall thereupon , which are almost always mortal . their autum they reckon from the of august to the of november , having commonly in the months of august and september not such extream heats as before . howbeit all the time between the of august and the of september is called by them , the furnace of the whole year ; for it brings figgs , quinces , and such kind of fruit to their full maturity . from the of november begin their winter ; and as soon as winter cometh they begin to till the ground , which lyeth in the plains ; but in the mountains they go to plough in october . the people here are most certainly perswaded , that every year containeth extreme not dayes , beginning upon the twelfth of june : and again , so many dayes extreme cold , beginning from the twelfth of december . their equinoxies are upon the of march , and the of september : and their solstice on the of june , and the of december : these rules they most stri●ctly observe ( though they know not a letter in the book ) in husbandry , and navigation ; which together with the houses of the planets , are the first lessons they teach their children ; as also the great book in volumes , called , the book of husbandry . they reckon trine by the moon ; and allow nights to the year , viz. nights in each of the first six months , and in each of the last six . they are undone if it rains not dayes in the year , viz. the six first of april , and the six last of september . they live till threescore , as lustily as we do at thirty , and then they droop suddenly , scarce any of them exceeding seventy ; the failing of their teeth and eyes fore-running their deaths ; the reason whereof may be their excessive inclination to venery , for which purpose they tolerate hundreds of stews in fez : they being so impudent , that they will continue in the very act of uncleanness , though twenty should come and see them , therefore they are ●ald at commonly ; and many of them dye of the french pox : a disease that came thither with the jewes that were banished castile ; with whose wives the moors lay , and were infected : a disease , they say , that if you go but into numidia , the very air of the place cures you of : as the armenian earth doth of the plague here . the qualities of these people , good and bad. they are religious to a superstition , so far , the day they pray ( and they are very often at their churches or masques ) they spit , nor touch their privy parts . their dexterity and skill in mathematiques and mechaniques is extraordinary : very faithful they are , but cunning , no people so lustful , and none so jealous ; familiarity with one of their wives is death . give place to thy elders , is a great rule amongst them . when ever they discourse of love , the youth are to withdraw . but with these vertues , they have their vices too , being very needy and covetous ; very proud and wrathful ; very implacable and revengeful . so clownish they are , that they will scarce hear you : yet so credulous , that they will believe you , say what you will. abounding so much with choler , they speak alwayes angry and loud ; and you will never walk the streets , but you will meet with a squabble . desperate they are in their undertakings : careless they are of their time ; which they spend in hunting , or war , or theft . thus have i described as well their vices as their virtues ; though i am indebted to this country for my birth , and most part of my education . now to deliver somewhat concerning the estates of these christians : they are called by some cofti , or coptitae , and by others , christians from the girdle upward : for albeit they be baptized , as we are , yet do they circumcise themselves like to the jews : so as a man may say , their christianity comes no lower than the girdle-stead . but that which is worse , they have for years followed the heresie of eutiches , which alloweth but of one nature in christ : by which heresie they also separate and dismember themselves , from the union of the church of europe . the occasion of this separation and schism , was the ephesine council , assembled by dioscorus in defence of eutiches , who was now condemned by the calcedon council by six hundred and thirty fathers congregated together , by the authority of leo the first . for the cofti fearing , that to attribute two natures unto christ , might be all one , as if they had assigned him two hypostases or persons , to avoid the heresie of the nestoreans , they became eutichians . they say their divine service in the chaldean , oftentimes repeating alleluja . they read the gospel first in chaldean , and then in arabick . when the priest sayeth pax vobis , the youngest among them layeth his hand upon all the people that are present . after consecration , they give a simple piece of bread to the standers by : a ceremony used also in greece . they exercise their function in the church of saint mark , amidst the ruines of alexandria , and in that of suez , upon the red sea : they obey the patriarck of alexandria , and affirm themselves to be of the faith of prete ianni , in our dayes two popes have attemptted to reduce them to the union of the romish church , pius the fourth , and gregory the thirteenth ; whose letter they received with reverence , laying them upon their heads before they opened them . a description of the kingdome of fez . the world we know is divided into four parts ; asia , europe , affrica and america : the place under present consideration lieth in affrica . affrica is bounded on the east by the red sea , and the famous bay of arabia ; on the west , with the atlantick sea , which divides it from america ; on the north it is parted by the mediterranean from europe ; and on the south with the ethiopian sea , from that place which geographers call terra australis incognita ; altogether bounded by the sea , but that there is an isthmus , or a neck of land , ( of threescore , faith dr. heylin ; threescore and nine , saith leo affricanus ; but fifty and four , saith munster ; and seventy four miles , saith atlas ) between it and asia : over which neck cleopatra would have drawn her ships when her dear anthony was defeated , and adventured her self to an unknown coast to escape caesar's success and fortune , had not her minions company invited her to her own egypt , to put a period to that rant and frolick wherewith fate and fortune played with , and exercised that age of the world. the form of affrica , saith leo , is a pyramide reversed ; the basis whereof , which reacheth from tangier , and the streight of gibraltar , to the foresaid isthmus , and is in length italian miles ; the cone narrow , but miles in length ; that is to say , in plain english , that part of the world is miles abroad towards us , and runs up narrower and narrower miles the further it goeth from us . asia is less then america , affrica then asia , europe then affrica ; that course cloth hath good measure . touching the temper of the air , which depends most an end upon the position and aspect of the heaven ; we guess that since the aequator , ( i mean that line that is supposed to divide the heavens into two equal parts ) crosseth over the middle of this country , therefore it was , by those of old , ( that had no more geography then they drew up by aim in their studies , and concluded from some of their own uncertain speculations and conjectural principles ) judged to lie under the most torrid zone , and so for the most part unhabitable : whereas a few more years experience , travel and observation , hath manifested most part of this country habitable and temperate ; the cool of the nights allaying the heat of the days : for there the mists , dews , and showres of the one , refresh the scorches and parches of the other ; as indeed that vicissitude of sun and moon was designed by the almighty , ( who disposed all things in number , weight and measure , according to the eternal counsel of his will ) to keep this world in an equal temper , not overheated with the fever of the torrid , nor overcooled with the ague of the frigid zone . the best description extant of this coast that the ancients had , was that great souldier and exact observator hannoes journal , a great while locked in his punick tongue , until that great restorer of learning at once bestowed upon it the pains of a translation into the greek tongue , and the charge of an impression at basil , . affrica is divided into , . egypt , . numidia , . lybia , . terra nigritorum , . ethiopia , superiour and inferiour ; with the islands adjoyning to these respective parts . the subject of this discourse lieth in barbary . barbary lieth eastward towards cyrenaica ; westward , toward the atlantick sea ; northward , upon the mediterranean , towards the streights of gibraltar , and the atlantick ; and southward , towards atlas , spain and numidia . it is called barbary but lately by the saracens , either , as the more ancient authors will have it , from the word barbar , which among those people signifieth murmur or grumbling , because the language of that place is like the condition of it , discontented : or from bar , ( as our modern writers assert it ) a desart in that * language , intimating the desolateness of the place before their replenishing or peopling of it . it is in length from the atlantick to the streights , fifteen hundred miles ; and in breadth from mount atlas to the mediterranean , an hundred in the inland countries ; but outwardly towards the streights , three hundred . this barbary is divided into four parts by most geographers ; but it is well known by those that travel to consist of six parts , viz. cus or chus , hea , hascora , duccala , morocco and fez. the first , is a long piece of barren ground , of one hundred and almost eighty italian miles . the second coasts along as may miles upon the atlantick to the very mouth of the streights : it 's sixty german miles long , and fifty english miles broad ; mountainous , but well inhabited ; hilly , but plentiful with all manner of necessaries ; the highest places there , being as well peopled as our valleys here . the third is large , but wild and mountainous ; useless rather from its inhabitants carelessness , then its own nature . the fourth is eminent for nothing but that great temple or mosche made all of vvhale-bones . the fifth , morocco , the inhabitants whereof are called moores from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , which in the greek signisieth black or obscure , and denotes either their complexion , which is tawny , and inclining to black ; or their condition , as who are bafe in their original , and not very honourable in their present state . morocco hath on the east of it maloa ; on the vvest from tremison , the atlantick ocean ; on the south , atlas ; and on the north , fez. it hath its chief denomination from the chief city of it , morocco : it hath large cities well inhabited & as well fortified ; whereof one contained anno , ( when there went out an enrolment from the xeriff or chief governour to tax every family by the poll ) families , mosches or churches : on the tower of the chiefest whereof , or the mother-church , as they call it , there was a globe that weighed pound in gold , and was valued at duckats . the country is like ireland , rich and fertile , and wants onely skilful and laborious inhabitants , that may improve it to that rich advantage it is capable of ; that country coming up , as all travellers aver , to our saviours proportion of increase , some times and places thirty fold , some fifty , some sixty , and some and hundred . the air is much after the temper of england , but that there is a south-wind that ever and anon blows and brings along with it an extraordinary and a very hurtful heat , like that at scanderoon , did not an eastern blast bring with it four times a year , ( viz. about the middle of july , the latter end of august , the beginning of march , and most part of may , as extraordinary cold that balanceth the former excess to a temper exceeding pleasant and healthful ; insomuch as it was observed by mr. tevillian , ( that traveiled morocco anno . when king charles the first of glorious memory , upon the humble request of the king of fez , sent ships to assist him in the conquest of the pyrates of sala , who were too hard for him ; and to his great grief , poor man , infested all europe and asia that were concerned in the eastern trade ) that never any english , vvelch , or scotch , that were cast upon those coasts , died before they were an hundred years old : nor any french or irish that lived there a twelve-month for some years together , until art helped nature ; and they understanding the temperature of the climate , and their own constitution , were taught those rules and prescriptions that corrected the first , and assisted the second . of the eleven mountains of barbary , four are fallen to the share of this part of it ; . thanebes , . gous , . phocra , . usaletto : from which spring up those pleasant and wholesome streams , that run like so many veins of blood , turning and winding through this uneven ground , dispensing their refreshments and verdure on all sides , with equal kindness to men , to beasts , to the grass and corn. but morocco and fez are as it were all one , as well in the state and condition of the countrey , as in the government . come we then at last to fez , wherein lieth tangier , the place we have in our eye . fez hath on the south of it morocco , which is no other then the other half of it : on the north , the mediterranean ; on the east , malon and tremeson ; on the west , the atlantick . it is thought by that excellent surveyor maurus , to be as big as toledo , that is almost twice as big as england , and something over . the ground is very uneven and unequal ; no hills higher then its mountains , no wilderness wider and looser then its deserts ; no parks more woody than its forrests ; no valleys more pleasant and profitable than its champaigns , which what they want in length and breadth , they gain in depth ; as if nature had heaped one acre upon two , in the matchless fertility thereof : our age , barren of belief , affords not faith so easily to the story , as this land afforded food to their ten hundred thousand men , anno , when an hundred thousand fell at the famous battel before tangier . the soil of the countrey of armagh in ireland is so rank of it self , that if any compost or artificial improvement be added unto it , it turns barren ( saith my ingenious author ) out of fullenness and indignation , that men should suspect the native fruitfulness thereof ; and fat upon fat is false heraldry in husbandry : an english man once dunged two acres of this countrey towards gosel , and it 's barren to this day , and called by the inhabitants in the punick , erapi vosci dos ; gods curse upon europe . ships , when sailing , are generally conceived to have one moyety of them invisible under water ; and some countreys in like manner are counted to have their wealth equally within the earth , and without it : but the proportion holds not exactly in fez , whose visible wealth far transcendeth her concealed substance . and yet we finde some minerals therein of considerable use and value : as , . brass and iron , so plentifully , that though they have not the blessing of asher , thy shooes shall be iron and brass , yet have they so competent a store of it , that she is no gentlewoman there , that hath not her twenty great iron rings about her . . salt , without which no meat is savoury to man , no sacrifice acceptable to god : abimelech sowed sechem and abdamelech gasel with salt. there are two sorts of salt ; . fossilis , digged ; . coctilis , boyled : both here plentifully , the first about hea , the last about heahem , and in lakes near fez , where they set no salt on their tables , but every one takes a little in his hand . . glass ; whereof the best in the world ( saith the great historian of nature ) is found on the river belus , and the next to that , ( saith solinus ) in hevalous , or as they call it now , hebal . . marble ; the great ornament of their cities and temples . . precious stones in abundance , no doubt near arzilla , as we may guess by those few found there by chance , by vasquez in his second expedition . . curious medicinal waters , arising from the sulphurious spring of mount anaba . . for gold and silver : though to avoid the invasions of other nations , they say with st. peter , silver and gold have i none ; yet no doubt if the european industry possessed the place of the affrican sloth , it would finde the indies in its way thither : for fez the chief city of this region hath its name from that gold that is supposed to lie a breeding in the very bowels of it : but the upper fruitfulness of the soyl makes them the more negligent in digging into the bowels thereof ; as those need not play beneath board , who have all the game in their own hands : for this countrey hath plenty , . of oyl-olive ; so called , to difference it from seed or train-oyl : hereof there are three kindes , or rather degrees : whereof , . the coursest makes lamps , which they burn in their mosques , temples and great palaces , day and night : . a middle sort for fineness , used for meat or rather sallad , with their cold herbs , and colder pap : . the finest , compounded with spices , for ointment for kings , priests and ladies , at their more solemn occasions of pomp and state , of piety and devotion , and of pleasure and entertainment . three carrects of oyl was one of the designed presents to the renowned king charles the first , , by abdalla , that were lost in the mediterranean , where oyl it self sunk . . honey : this is their sugar , as salt is their pepper ; whence it was called by the ancients terra melliflua : the canaanites here ( for you shall hear anon how they fled hither from the face of joshua ) as well as in their own countrey , enjoying a land that flowed with honey : the gentile part whereof use honey after the persian manner in their sacrifices ; which grotius saith is the reason why honey was forbidden in the jewish oblations . and to this honey belongeth wax , wherewith they dress their leather , the best here , if you will believe valtolin , that famous shooe-maker and traveller , whose shooes were surely made of running leather . . fruits . the biggest and most plentiful that ever i read of : as , . dates : whereof there is this tradition amongst them , that a date-tree over-shadowed an olive-tree , and that olive-tree a fig-tree , and that fig-tree a pomegranate , and that pomegranate a vine . . almonds . . nuts . . figs. . pomegranates . . pears . . spices . . cherries . . plums and apples . of which they made their most considerable presents , whereof good store were sent at several times to the earles of peterburrough and tiveot , from that excellent rebel gayland , who wants nothing of a compleat man , as cromwel did not , but that he hath not common honesty . . barley : it was the humility of christ , it is the necessity of the fezians , to eat barley-loaves . . vines : so good , that notwithstanding the strict laws of mahomet , to which they are most subject , the inhabitants cannot but request their king to allow , and the king cannot but grant them a liberty to drink wine ; especially at ezhaggen , some fifteen leagues off of tangier ; where it 's a part of the city-charter , that they may drinke vvine on mundays , tuesdays , thursdays and sundays . yet as great as good ; so that what is prophesied of judah , may be true here , that they may binde their foals to the vine , and their asses colts to the choice vine , though vines with us are tied to other trees for their support ; and that a grape there in many places is as big as a plum with us . . wood : so that round tangier the countrey seemed formerly a continued grove of sweet firs , shady palms , strong oaks , close cypress , &c. and where trees are wanting , there grass and ferns look like thick coppices , so high , that a whole army may be lodged horse and foot in a field , and not discerned ; as they did to our sorrow , in the late action on the third of may , . these are their vegetables : their beasts are , . goats : whose flesh is good meat , as their skins make good leather , and their fleeces good chamlets . . their diet is so plain , that they have very few cattle for meat , but many for shew and service ; as . lyons , so tame , that they will gather stones up and down the streets in fez , and hurt none ; and his highness prince rupert hath one of my lord rutherford's bestowing , that will lie upon his bed as quietly as any lamb. . elephants . . dragons . . leopards . . horses , the handsomest , the strongest and swiftest in the world : a barbary horse , is a proverb . i had almost forgot that balm or balsome , whereof the first plants , josephus saith , ( antiq. l. . ) the queen of sheba brought from this place to judea . this balsome is two-fold : . xylo-balsamum , the parent , being the shrub out of which it proceeded . . opo-balsamum , being the daughter , which trickled like tears from the former : useful , . for the healthful , making a most odoriferous and pleasant perfume : . for the sick , being soveraign and medicinal : . for the dead , being an admirable preservative against corruption . to balm i adde what is more necessary , as well as more common , i mean water : they think we northern people are drowned with a dropsie ; and we suspect they of the south are on fire with a feavour : this is a land like judea , ( as it is described deut. . . ) a land of brooks of waters , of fountains and depths , that spring out of valleys and hills : 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , saith strabo , a well-watered countrey . object . but you will say , our englishmen talk of mountains and hills . answ . such fruitful hills as make the land insensibly larger in extent , though no whit less in increase : some cattle , as goats , some fruits , as vines , thrive never better than on these mountains , or on the side of these hills : 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , grassie and fair fruitful hills ; which as they afford a plentiful prospect , so they conduce much to make the cities impregnable that are built among them . object . they talk of desarts too . answ . indeed the word desart sounds hideously in an english ear , and frights our fancies with the apparitions of a place full of dismal shades , salvage beasts , and doleful desolation ; whereas among these people it imports no more than a woody retiredness from publick habitation ; most of them in extent not exceeding our great parks in england , and more alluring with the pleasure of privacy , than affrighting with the sadnesse of solitariness . sect . ii. touching the inhabitants of this place , we are to understand , that when the isles of the gentiles were divided among the sons of noah , this coast fell to the lot of mizraim and phut , the sons of cham , who first inhabited it upon the dispersion ; but thinly , until upon joshua's approach , the canaanites fled hither from the face of joshua , and built tangier , as will appear more particularly in the description of that place . of those canaanites there were seven people , whereof six came hither : as , . the hittites , those sons of anak , so formidable to their foes , that some conceive them named from hittah , to scare or frighten , such the terrible impressions of them upon their enemies ! . the gergashites , whom the hierusalem-talmud makes to dwell near cinnereth , on the east of jordan , whence they stole ( faith my author ) into egypt . . the canaanites , particularly so called , that dwelt by the sea and coast of jordan . . the cadmonites , or easterlings . . the amorites . . the arvadites . these men possessed the place until the phoenicians and most remote punicks dispossessed them ; and they , until the saracens turned them out of doors . . here are placed the cynocephali , that have heads like dogs , snouts like swine , and ears like horses . . here are the sciapodes ; that have such a broad foot , and but one , that they cover their heads from the heat of the sun , and the violence of the showrs , by lifting this up over them . . here are the gumnosophantes that go naked , and fear nothing more then a cloathed man ; being ignorant of the use of weapons , and one being able without a miracle to chase of them . . here are the blemmiae , men that walk as st. dyonis did from paris to rheimes , without heads , having their eyes and mouths in their breasts . . here are the egipans , that have onely the bodies of men , sometimes made up of the necks and heads of horses , mules , asses , &c. and , . that this part of affrica may have its share in that saying , semper aliquid affrica portat novi , affrica is always teeming with some new monster . the other day not far from tangier , was to be seen a child with an eagles bill , claws , and feathers too , which was understood to bode some alteration in that government : whereupon the king and his friends bestirred themselves against gayland , and he gathered up all his forces against us ; breaking the league with us , and upon no terms admitting the forts we designed in those parts to enlarge our quarters . but the people that we converse with , are as other men , save that they are of a duskish complexion , and something inclining to black . their stature tall and slender , having much of the arabians in them . their nature subtle , sly , close , and reaching . their disposition active for war and horsemanship , otherwise there is not an idler people under the cope of heaven : the simplest of them shall dwell with you a twelve-month , and you know no more of his minde then the first day you saw him ; and he shall give as exact an account of your actions , inclinations and designes , as any man living . they are very proud and ambitious ; and shall do more for an obeysance , then they will sometimes for a town ; and buy a feather for their cap at a higher rate , then they will a suit of cloaths to their backs . they are as light as the feathers they wear , and as unconstant as their interest ; never trusted by the spaniard or portugez , but when they had swords in their hands . neither are they more wily themselves , then jealous of others ; especially in the case of their women , whose feature is comely , whose skin is delicately soft , whose complexion is blackish , and the darker the more amiable ; whose ornaments are sumptuous onely to please their husbands , and keep at home ; it being death to stir abroad without leave , and a keeper . distrust is the nature there of every particular man , and the policy of all ; whereby they keep strangers from that acquaintance with their advantages and disadvantages , which otherwise they might have . no peace is to be had with them without an hostage , no kindness without a security ; it being a saying amongst them , as some think , received by tradition from their ancestors the canaanites , remember ai , and distrust . hence they pretend it is one of the laws of mahomet , ( as they alledged it to the earl of tiveot ) that they should not suffer either the christians or the europeans to build any forts in their country . so cautious and wary are they , that you can hardly wrong them ; and so implacable if you do , that they will never forgive you . remember this ( said gayland's brother of a little brush given them ) two years hence : as much as to say , we will never forget or forgive . they are too ignoble to be masters of that honourable quality of passing by offences . and as they are themselves irreconcileable , ( it 's the heathens character , and it is a true one ; without understanding , covenant-breakers , without natural affection , implacable , unmerciful ) so they judge others too : if once the moore offendeth , he will never trust you ; once angry , he thinks , and ever so : his own unkindness makes him as much your enemy out of caution , as yours can make him out of passion . a stately gate is that which they observe most in themselves , and that which they take most notice of , and tender most respect to in others . the moore loves and fears a man ; therefore the tallest and most personable men were employed to treat with that barbarian , who was more guided with his eyes then his ears ; with what he saw , then what he heard ; in a word , appearances then reasons . and yet so much reason are they masters of , that ( though their shifts , tricks and unconstancy argue them men of a little reach , those being onely the little ways and escapes of men that have not a solid wisdome to look round about them , and carry on things handsomely ) they say when pressed to an affair of a sudden , stay a little , we must think what we shall do next year . though their gate seem majestick when they strut and walk , yet none more low and despicable when they sit , even in greatest state : for when our general and governour was to meet gayland and his nobility , we found them all upon the ground upon their carpets , sitting cross-legged like taylors . their garments are as sumptuous as their gate majestick : for though the poorer sort wear raw hides , i mean goatskins , leather , hair-cloth , sack-cloth , and other course vestinents ; yet we seldome meet them out of their fine linen , their silk , their scarlet , and their cloth of gold. of all colours , they , as the jews , delight in white , as the emblem of purity , cheerfulness , knowledge and victory . no work are they more taken with , then with washing : but their most solemn colour is black , and their most royal and noble one is blew ; the true and natural dying whereof , is lost in all the world but in that place . their scarlet and crimson is worn by the nobility ; and their purple , which is but the gaudiness of red , allayed with the gravity of blew , is with them as with us , royal. next their skin they wear linen ( as most cleanly , soft and wholsome , but dyed in violet ) loose , and at night lie in the same . next this , their coat , which comes down to their feet , as modest and grave ; and about that a girdle , which is also their purse . fringe is a great ornament among their priests . over this a mantle , which is among the poorer sort their coat by day , and by night their coverlet . as soon as they are born , they are coated ; and when striplings , the coat is party-coloured ; when men , the coat becomes a cloak ; when in the field , he hath a coat of maile tucked on with a military girdle , his bow and arrow , his sword , his buckler , his pike , and of late his gun too ; to all this the ancients adde his staff : all their turbants or mithraes of : pleyted linen or callico , in the manner of a pyramide on their heads , and their sandals on their feet , which had soles , but no upper leather , save onely the ligaments whereby they were tied to the instep and cross of the feet . hence their frequent washings in those parts , not onely to cool them , but chiefly to clear them from the gravel , and cleanse them from the dirt , which those casements of their sandals let in : but for fear of foul weather , they have their shooes carried after them , as the jews had ; whence the expression , whose shooes i am not worthy to bear . their women are veiled , and as i told you kept in , but nobly apparelled with garments wrought with needle-work , or very curiously woven ; adorned with their ear-rings , bracelets , frontlets , mufflers : and if they chance to go abroad , oh how they stretch out their necks ! how they walk and mince as they go ! how they paint their eyes and eye-brows , and gild their nails ! thus are they attired ; a man would now know how they are disposed . very idle i told you they are ; and what usually follows upon that , very quarrelsome : nothing more usual among them then deadly feuds ; against ● ; one tribe as it were against another ; which nothing can compose but a forreign enemy , against whom their very hatred unites them more effectually then their love could do among themselves . yet i must say this for them , though they are the worst enemies , yet they are very good friends , i. e. very civil : for let a stranger travel amongst them , and come into town , they will throw dice who shall entertain him . if the pilgrim saith be will to his inne , thither they flock to him with their gifts and their presents : if he is not provided , then say they , this mans house is yours . their reason for it they will give you ; abraham entertained strangers , and thereby angels unawares : we are so journers as all our fathers were . you would ask , what is their religion ? what is their language ? i answer : for their religion in the uttermost parts of it , it 's heathenish ; and all that we ever observed them do , was crossing their foreheads , kissing their hands , bowing their heads to the sun , and once a year offering a kid , once a month meeting at their groves : for these heathens think it not fit to circumscribe any thing that hath the name of a god within any compass , but that heaven they say he dwells in . but most of them are turks ; and though that countrey hath been most famous of old for the studies of mathematicks and philosophy , those great philosophers , avicenna , averroes ; those ingenious poets , terrence , apuleias ; those holy fathers , cyprian , tertullian , lactantius , victor , fulgentius ; and as famous for the excellent library in fez , wherein there were volumes of history , of philosophy , of astronomy , geography , and other mathematicks , that were more worth then all the libraries in the world , which that tyrant , made up of ignorance and fury , maleche shegge , destroyed all but two books ; whereof the one was an ancient book of the mysteries of mahomets religion and government , and the other the state of europe : yet now is it but the seat of barbarism , and the habitation of gross ignorance in every thing but , as you may read more anon , in mechanicks . the bishop of dunkelden thanked god he knew not a letter either in the old testament or the new , but that he had his proless and ladies psalter by heart . the very priest here pretendeth to no more skill then so much chyrurgery as may serve him to circumcise a childe , and so much divinity as may serve him to read his alcoran or testament . it was dangerous to understand greek , and heresie to profess hebrew in this land some two hundred years ago : it may cost a man his life there to be wise above the age ; for that they call conjuring against the king. but cities are the maps of countries , and metropolis of kingdomes : as therefore he who would look into the nature of england , had best take a survey of london ; so he that would be satisfied about this kingdome , needs no more but look into fez and tituan , whose descriptions follow . of the cities fez and tituan . of the innes and mills of fez. the innes of this city are three stories high , and contain an hundred and twenty or more chambers a piece , and are almost unparallelled for greatness of buildings . herein also are mills in four hundred places at least ; every mill standeth in a large room , upon some strong pillar or post , like unto our horse-mills . a description of the occupations , the shops , and the market . each trade and occupation hath a peculiar place allotted thereto ; the principal whereof , are next unto the great temple . then follow the butchers shambles ; next , the course-cloath-market ; afterwards , the shops of them that scowre armours ; next unto them , the fishmongers ; then follow them that make hard reed-coops , and cages for fowles . then the shops of them that sell liquid sope , the shops of them that sell meal , albeit they are diversly dispersed throughout the whole city . next are seed-grain-sellers ; next to them , are the ten shops that sell straw ; then the markers , where thred and hemp use to be sold . next to the smoaky place in the west part , ( which stretcheth from the temple to that gate that leadeth unto mecnase ) their habitations directly stand that make leather-tankards to draw water out of wells . unto these adjoyn such as make wicker vessels ; next to them are the taylors shops ; then the leather-shield-makers ; then the twenty shops of the laundresses or washers . next unto them are those that make trees for sadles , who dwell likewise in great number eastward , right in the way by the colledge founded by king abuhinam . next unto them are those that work stirrops , spurs and bridles . from thence you may go into the streets of sadlers ; then follow the long shops of them that make pikes and launces : all the which shops begin at the great temple . next standeth a rock or mound , having two walks thereupon ; the one whereof leadeth to the east-gate , and the other to one of the kings palaces . the station or burse of merchants . this burse being walled round about , hath twelve gates , and before every gate an iron chain ; which burse is divided into twelve several wards or parts : two whereof are allotted unto such shooe-makers as make shooes onely for noblemen and gentlemen : two also to silk-merchants or haberdashers that sell ribbons , garters , scarffs , and such other like ornaments . then follow those that make womens girdles of course vvool. next unto these , are such as sell vvoollen and linen-cloth brought out of europe . then may you come to them that sell mats , matresses , cushions , and other things made of leather . next adjoyneth the customers office. next of all dwell the taylors , then the linen-drapers , who are accounted the richest merchants in all fez. next are vvoollen garments to be sold . last of all is that place where they sell wrought shirts , towels , and other embroydered works ; as also , where carpets , beds and blankets are to be sold . the aforesaid burse or station of merchants was in times past called caesaria , according to the name of that renowned conquerour julius caesar : the reason whereof some affirm to be , because all the cities of barbary in those days were first subject to the romans , and then to the goths . next unto the said burse , on the north-side , in a straight lane , stand an hundred and fifty grocers and apothecaries shops , which are fortified on both sides with strong gates . the physitians houses adjoyn for the most part unto the apothecaries . then the artificers that make combs of box and other wood. eastward of the apothecaries dwell the needle-makers . then follow those that turn ivory . unto them adjoyn such as sell meal , sope and brooms ; whereof some are dispersed in other places of the city . amongst the cotten-merchants are certain that sell ornaments for tents and beds . next of all stand the fowlers . then come you to the shops of those that sell cords and ropes of hemp ; and then to such as make high cork-slippers for noblemen and gentlemen to walk the streets in when it is fowl weather . unto these adjoyn the ten shops of spanish moores , which make cross-bows ; as also those that make brooms of a certain wild palm-tree . next unto them are smiths that make nayls , and coopers that make certain great vessels in form of a bucket , having corn-measures to sell also . then follow wool-chapmen ; then langols or wyth-makers . next of all are the braziers ; then such as make weights and measures ; and those likewise that make instruments to card wool or flax. at length you descend into a long street , where men of divers occupations dwell together ; and here the west part of the city endeth , which in times past was a city by its self , and was built after the city on the west-side of the river . a description of the second part of fez. the second part of fez is situated eastward , and is beautified with most stately palaces , temples , houses and colledges ; albeit there are not so many trades and occupations as in the part before described , yet are there many , especially of the meaner sort ; but notwithstanding here are thirty shops of grocers : here also are more then six hundred clear fountains , walled round about , and most charily kept ; every one of which is severally conveyed by certain pipes unto each house , temple , colledge and hospital . the south part of east - fez is almost half destitute of inhabitants ; howbeit the gardens abound with fruits and flowers of all sorts . westward , that is , toward the kings palace , standeth a castle built by a king of the lutune family , resembling in bigness a whole town ; within this castle stands a noble temple and a certain great prison for captives , supported with many pillars . by this castle runneth a certain river very commodious for the governour . of the magistrates , the administration of justice , and of the apparel used in fez. in fez there are four sorts of magistrates ; one of the canon law , the other of the civil law , the third of marriages and divorcements , the next an advocate to whom they appeal . a malefactor they proceed against by leading him naked about the streets with an iron chain about his neck , after he hath received an hundred or two hundred stripes before the governour , a sergeant going along and declaring his faults ; and at length is carried into prison back again . sometimes many prisoners are thus chained together , for each of which the governour receiveth one duckat , and one fourth part ; and likewise he demands certain duties at their first enterance into the goal : and amongst his other living , he gathereth out of a mountain seven thousand duckats of yearly revenues , so that ( when occasion serveth ) he is to finde the king of fez three hundred horses , and to give them their pay . the canon-lawyers live according to mahomet's law , onely by their reading of lectures and priesthood . in this city are four sergeants , who receive for stipend some fee of every malefactor that they lead about in chains . that one onely that gathereth customs and tributes about the city , dayly payeth to the kings use thirty duckats . very strict are they that nothing comes into the city by any means , before some tribute be paid ; which is paid double of him that is caught in a deceit . the set order or proportion of their duckats is to pay two duckats for the worth of a hundred ; for onyx-stones one fourth part ; but for wood , corn , oxen and hens , they give nothing at all : though at the entrance into the city they pay nothing for rams , yet at the shambles they give two liardos a piece , and to the governour of the shambles one : which governour with his two men , is careful to see that the bread be weight ; if not , the baker is led about with contempt , and beaten with cudgels . decently and civilly attired they are , wearing in the spring-time garments made of outlandish cloth ; over which shirts , they wear a narrow and half-sleev'd cassock or jacket , whereupon they wear a certain wide garment close before on the brest . they wear thin caps covered with a certain skarff , which being twice wreathed about their head , hangeth by a knot . they wear neither hose nor breeches ; but in the spring-time when they ride a journey , they put on boots . the poorer sort have onely a cassock , with a mantle over that , and a course cap ; the doctors and gentlemen in a wide-sleev'd garment ; the common sort in a kind of a course white cloth : and so all according to their state and ability . the inhabitants of fez eat thrice a day , but nastily and filthily ; their tables low and dirty , their fingers their spoons and knives , the ground their seats : they never drink before they have done eating , and then a good draught of cold water . the manner of solemnizing marriages . the bride and bridegroom go together to church , accompanied with their parents and kinsfolks , and two witnesses of the covenants and dowry ; which being done , the present guests are invited to two banquets ; the one on the bridegroom's cost , the other upon the bride's fathers , who though he promiseth but thirty duckats onely for a dowry , yet will he sometimes bestow every way two or three hundred duckats besides , which is accounted a point of liberality . the bridegroom causeth his bride to be carried home in a cage eight square , accompanied with his parents and kinsfolks , with musick and torches , the bridegrooms kinsfolk going before , and the bride following after , and going unto the great market-place ; and passing by the temple , his father-in-law takes his leave of the bridegroom : the father , brother , uncle of the bride lead her unto the chamber-door , and there deliver her with one consent unto the mother of the bridegroom , who as soon as she is entered , toucheth her foot with his ; and forthwith they depart unto a several room by themselves , where she is deflowred , and the purity of her virginity afore that time , is declared with a napkin stained in blood , carried in hand about , which if she be not found , the marriage is frustrated , and she with great disgrace turned home to her parents . but at a compleat marriage there are three banquets ; the one for men , the other for women , the third seven days after for all her friends . furthermore , at the bridegrooms fathers there are two feasts ; the one the night before , which is spent in musick and dancing ; the other the day after , at her brave dressing by a company of women . these and many more ceremonies do they use at a maids marriage , but a widows is concluded with less a do . they make also great feasts and jollities at the circumcision of their males , which is upon the seventh day after their birth ; but at the birth of a daughter , they shew not so much alacrity . of their rites observed upon festival days , and their manner of mourning for their dead . upon christmas they eat sallet of divers herbs , and seethed pulse . upon new-years-day the children go with masks and vizards on their faces , to the houses of gentlemen & merchants , singing carols and songs , having fruits given them . on st. john baptist's they make great fires of straw . when their children's teeth begin to grow , they make another feast called dentilla . and in many things they imitate rome and other places . the women at the death of their friends assemble together in a company of their own sex , and put on most vile sackcloth and ashes , and sing a funeral-song to the commendation of the party deceased , and at the end of every verse , utter hideous outcries and lamentations ; all which continue seven days , at the end of which , they cease mourning forty days , and then begin to torment themselves in like manner for three days together ; which obsequies are observed by the baser sort of people , but the better sort behave themselves more modestly : at this time all the widow's friends come to comfort her , and send divers kindes of meats unto her : for in the mourning house they may dress no meat at all , till the dead be carried forth : and the woman that loseth her husband , father or brother , never goeth forth with the funeral . a description of the grammar-schools in fez. there are almost two hundred schools in fez , every one of which is in fashion like a great hall. the school-masters teach their children to write our or a certain great table : every day they expound a sentence of the alcoran , and firmly commit it to memory ; which they do right well in the space of seven years : then read they unto their scholars some part of orthography , which , and the other parts of grammar , is more exactly taught in the colledges , then in these trivial schools . their school-masters have a very small stipend ; but when their boys have learned some part of the alcoran , they present certain gifts unto their master , according to each ones ability . so soon as any boy hath perfectly learned the whole alcoran , his father inviteth all his sons school-fellows to a great banquet ; and his son in costly apparel rides through the street upon a gallant horse ; all which , the governour of the royal citadel is bound to lend him : the rest of his school-fellows being mounted likewise on horse-back , accompany him to the banquetting-house , singing divers songs to the praise of god and mahomet : then are they brought to a most sumptuous banquet , whereat all the kinsfolks of the aforesaid boys father are usually present , every one of whom bestoweth upon the school-master some small gift , and the boys father gives him a new suit of apparel . the said scholars likewise use to celebrate a feast upon the birth-day of mahomet , and then their fathers are bound to send each one of them a torch unto the school , which every boy carrieth in his hand ; which being lighted betimes in the morning , burn till sun-rise ; in the mean while , certain singers resound the praises of mahomet ; and as soon as the sun is up , all their solemnity ceaseth . the school-masters sell the remnant of the wax upon the torches for an hundred duckats , and sometimes for more . they are free-schools , in which , as also in the colledges , they have two days of recreation every week . of the fortune-tellers , the conjurers , inchanters and juglers in fez. some of them use geomantical figures , others pour a little oyl into water , and there shew several shapes , of whom they ask such questions as the party would be satisfied in . a third sort are women that lie with devils , which pretend to speak within them : these lie with one another , yea , and with other young women , until some wiser than some beat the devil out with a cudgel . another kind are the conjurers that make circles , and turn out devils by the magick rule called zairagia : first , they draw many lesser circles within the compass of a greater : in the first they make a cross , in the four corners of it they set down the four quarters of the world , and at the end of each cross the poles , and about the circumference they paint the four elements ; then they divide the same circle into four parts , and every one of those four parts into seven , each part being distinguished by great arabian characters , every element contaming twenty eight characters : in the third circle they set down the seven planets , in the fourth the twelve signs , in the fifth the twelve latine names of the month , in the sixth the twenty eight hours of the moon , in the seventh the three hundred sixty five days of the year , and about the middle thereof , the four winds : then take they one onely character or letter of the question asked , multiplying the same by all the particulars aforementioned , and the sum total they divide after a certain manner , placing it in some room according to the quality of the character , and as the element requireth wherein the said character is found , without a figure : all which being done , they mark that figure which seemeth to agree with the aforesaid number or sum produced , wherewith they proceed as they did with the former , till they have found twenty eight characters , whereof they make a word that resolveth the question demanded ; this word or speech they make a verse of , which is an infallible answer to the question propounded . these circles i have seen at king abulunan's colledge at fez , where i saw likewise these cabalists imprisoned by the mahometan inquisitors , who allow not that art , as derogatory to the great god that knoweth secrets . besides these juglers , there are here a sect of people who say they are sent from heaven to beget an holy seed in the earth ; under which pretence they abuse the fairest women in the countrey , even tiring themselves with lust , endeavouring to lie with half a dozen or half a score a piece in a night ; saying they carry about them the ninety nine virtues that are contained in the name of god. another sect there is , that pretend they are sent of god to dig for gold : for which purpose they ransack ditches , graves , kennels : right gold-finders ! here are a third sort that deal in sulphur and alchymy , who dispute every week in a great temple , how they may turn all things to gold ; of whom the learned geber and mugainbi have given the world an account . in the summer you shall have towns full of charmers , with their scroles , their drums , their pipes , their apes and their citterns . at the same time you may observe their gentlemen strut and keep their distance from the commonalty , and their doctors and judges keeping as far from them . from eleven of clock to three you will not meet with a man in his shorts ; they are all run to taverns and b●wdy-houses . in every town there is a lazer-house , the governour whereof is to take care of all the lepers in the town . their burying-places are certain fields bought for that purpose , where they lay over every grave two stones , one at the head , and another at the feet of the party deceased ; their kings being buried in palaces . hereabout are gardens of ten or twenty miles in length , through which they derive small veins of the river , from some of which they carry away cart-loads twice a year . here no mahometan is suffered to be a goldsmith or a coyner ; for they say , that is an employment good enough for a jew . of their beasts . . the first is the elephant , plentiful in the land of the negroes , and taken by the inhabitants thus : they make a round hedge of boughs and rafts , leaving a space round on the one side of them , and likewise a door standing upon the plain ground , which may be lift up with ropes , wherewith they can easily stop the said open place or passage : the elephant coming to take his rest under the shady boughs , entreth the hedge or inclosure , where the hunters by drawing the said rope , and fastening the door , imprison him . . the second is girapha , headed like a camel , eared like an ox , and footed like a horse . . their camels and dromedaries , their strength , treasure and pleasure : wherefore if you ask how rich a man is ? they will say , he hath so many camels : they are watred but once in five days , and can go without water or provender fifteen . when they are tired they will not go for beating , but with singing such songs as they are pleased with . the swiftest of them will carry you an hundred miles a day , and the slowest but eight . they teach them to dance thus : they take a young camel , and put him for half an hour together into a place like a bath-stove prepared for the same purpose , the floor whereof is hot with fire : then play they without upon a drum ; whereat the camel , not so much in regard of the noyse , as of the hot pavement that offendeth his feet , lifteth up one leg after another in the manner of a dance ; and having been accustomed to this exercise for the space of a year and ten moneths , they then present him to the publick view of the people ; whenas hearing the noyse of a drum , and remembring the time when he trod upon the hot floor , he presently falleth a dancing and leaping : and so use being turned into a kinde of nature , he perpetually observeth the same custome . . the fourth is the barbary-horse , brought up in the wild desert , and broken by arabians since ishmael's time . the tryal of these horses is the overtaking of a beast called lant or ostrich ; which if he can do , he is worth duckats . used they are for hunting , fed with camels milk , and never rid while in pasture . . the next sort of beasts is , . the white ox , called dant or lant , of whose skin they make sheilds . . adimaim , like a ram in every thing but his long asses cars , of whose wool they make coverlets , as of their milk butter and cheese ; whose tayls , as do the barbary rams , weigh some ten , some twenty pound apiece : all the fat of them is in their tayl . . the lyon , who the hotter the country is , the fiercer ; especially towards spring-time , and their time of coupling , when nothing is spared by them but a woman that sheweth her privy-parts ; at the sight whereof they cry , cast their eyes to the ground , and depart . . the spotted leopard , that never killeth any thing but when toyled by hunters into an extreamity : whosoever lets a leopard escape his toyl , must feast all the hunters of that province . . the dabuh , that is brought out of his den with singing . . the civer-cat , whose excrement , which is nothing but their sweat , they gather thus thrice a day : they keep the young ones with milk , bran , and flesh in cages and grates ; and first they drive them up and down the grate till they sweat , and then they take the said sweat from under their flanks , their shoulders , their necks and their tayls : which excrement of sweat is onely called civet . . the apes and coneys run up and down in companies , one of them always watching the husbandmans coming . . the crocodile that goeth on four legs like a lizzard , not above a cubit and an half high ; its tayl is full of knots ; it lurks about the banks of a river , craftily laying wait for men and beasts that come the same way ; about whom suddainly it winds its tayl , draweth them into the water , and devoureth them . in eating they move the upper jaw onely , their nether jaw being joyned unto their breast-bone . i saw them running and gaping on the banks-side , and little birds flying in and out of their mouths ; which sometimes they would catch when they had eaten up the worms in their jaws , but that a little prick upon the birds head so galleth them that they must let it go . . the hydra , against whose poyson there is no remedy but the cutting off the infected part . . the dab , a creature like a lizzard that cannot endure water , and revived when dead by fire . . the guoral , whose head and tayl they say is poyson , and whose body they eat as good meat . . the camelion , like a lizzard , save that it hath a mouses tayl , nourished with air , roasted in sun-beams ; at which it gapes , and changeth its colour with its place . . the silly ostrich that seedeth on iron , and forgetteth her great egges of eleven or twelve pounds apiece in the sand . . the locusts , that fly in such swarms that they intercept the sun-beams . . the monster begot between the male-eagle and the she-wolf , that hath a serpents tayl and skin , a wolfs feet , a dragons beake and wing , that lives years they say . fruits . as for their fruits , besides what we formerly mentioned , they have , . euphorbium , an herb like the wild thistle , upon the branches whereof grow fruits like cucumbers , or upon each ; which when ripe , are pricked for their slimy juyces , which the people put in bladders , and dry . . maus , or musa , growing on a small tree , which beareth large leaves of a cubit long , big as a cucumber , sweet as a musmillion : they 〈◊〉 it was the fruit forbidden our first parents in paradise , because the leaves are fit to cover the nakedness . . terfez , a root like mushroom , growing in hot grounds , but of a cooling vertue , as lushious as sugar ; and being boyled in water and milk , is a great dainty in sela. . the ettalche , an high and thorny tree , bearing leaves like the juniper , and sweating a gum like mastick : the onely remedy there against the french pox. . the root tauzorghent , an inch whereof perfumes a house three years , and is sold in one place for half a duckat , and in another for duckats . . the root addad , that kills a man in an hour with the smell of it : a present the good women send sometimes to their beloved husbands . . the root turnag , which they take to strengthen men : upon which if a maid make water , she looseth her virginity ; yea , and swelleth too , they say . finis . notes, typically marginal, from the original text notes for div a -e * to sir g. r. notes for div a -e this tow a likewise is good port. notes for div a -e * viz. the punick . lev. . . vid. critic . sacra , in loc . by the king, a proclamation for the apprehending of robbers or highway-men and for a reward to the apprehenders england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng netherlands -- foreign relations -- great britain. great britain -- foreign relations -- netherlands. - tcp assigned for keying and markup - aptara keyed and coded from proquest page images - celeste ng sampled and proofread - celeste ng text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion the letter sent by the states-general of the united provinces of the low countreys to his majesty , by their trumpeter : together with his majesties answer to the said letter . translated out of french into english . published by his majesties special command . royal coat of arms diev et mon droit honi soit qvi mal y pense london , printed by the assigns of john bill and christopher barker , printers to the kings most excellent majesty , . a letter sent by the states-general of the vnited provinces to the king of great britain . sire , as we have never desired any thing more then to merit the good will of your majesty , and to cultivate a friendship which had been heretofore hereditary between your majesties kingdom and this republick ; so , we were beyond measure troubled when we saw your majesty exasperated against us , and that by the artifices of evil minded persons your subjects and ours have been overwhelmed with those miseries which are inseparable from war , and brought to shed that bloud which hath been alwayes dear to either side . the sad experience we had thereof on both parts in the preceding war , had given us cause to believe at the same time , that after we were re-united , the peace would be a blessing which was no more to be ravished from us . and we were the rather perswaded of it , because the new alliances we were entred into , seemed able to make our union eternal : but seeing divine providence , for the chastisement of the two nations , hath permitted that things should not continue long in that happy estate , we no sooner perceived a misunderstanding arise , but we thought our selves obliged to use all imaginable endeavours to stop the progress of it , and to omit nothing that might contribute to the preventing so great an evil as that of a rupture . in order to which , being certainly informed that your majesty was offended at a medall , which we had not suffered to be sold , but that we thought it very innocent , we immediately suppressed it , and caused the very stamps to be broken for fear there might be some made secretly ; and to give your majesty more essential proofs of the esteem we had of your friendship , we yielded to your majesty whatever you were pleased to demand of us in behalf of the inhabitants of surinam , how prejudicial soever the thing were to us , and whatsoever reason we otherwise had not to consent to it . at the same time we sent the sieur van beuningen to your majesty for removing , if it were possible , the sinister impressions which some laboured to possess your majesty with , and for perfecting a regulation proposed by your majesties ambassador between your east-india company and ours . since that , although the little success which the said sieur van beuningens negotiation had had , gave us but too great cause to fear that we should not succeed better for the future ; yet we no sooner understood that there were some who would perswade your majesty as well against all likelihood of truth , as truth it self , that we treated underhand with france to the prejudice of your majesties interests , but we gave order without delay to our ambassador with your majesty , to declare to your majesty in our name , that to shew the falshood of those reports which were spread abroad to our disadvantage , and to give your majesty essential and unquestionable marks of the sincerity of our intentions , we were ready to enter into such an alliance with you as you should think fit , how strict soever it should be , and to go far beyond any thing we had hitherto done , for securing the peace of europe . then followed the affair of the flagg , wherein we think our conduct hath been with all imaginable respect towards your majesties person : and although the answer we gave to your ambassadors memorial be such as we shall always be ready to submit to the judgment of all europe , yet upon complaint that it was obscure and insufficient , we sent an ambassador extraordinary to your majesty , and gave power to him , as also to our ordinary ambassador , to clear what should be thought obscure , and to adde what should be necessary : but instead of entring into regular conferences with them , and letting them know what was defective in our answer , they were neglected , and no conference granted them upon the point which might have ended all our differences , till an hour after your majesties declaration of war had been read and approved in your council . all this , sire , doth sufficiently evidence , with what application and zeal we have laboured to satisfie your majesty , and to extinguish in its birth a fire which is ready to consume all christendom . and as we have not entred into this war but from an indispensable necessity of defending and protecting our subjects , we have ever since the rupture , as much as we were able , sought your majesties friendship , and never given over the making overtures of peace . upon which account we sent our deputies extraordinary to your majesty in the moneth of june of the year last past , who were confined to hampton court , without having any audience given them , or being heard what they had to say on our part . a minister from the elector of brandenburgh passed also into england upon the same subject , and charged himself , at our request , with the representing to your majesty the ardent desire we had to see your majesty entertain other sentiments , and our disposition to do any thing in our power to acquire again the honour of your majesties good correspondence . since that , upon the proposition made by the mediators of a general truce , for as much as according to our judgment we could not consent to it without hazarding the safety of our state ; yet , to evidence to your majesty how great a desire we had to give you all possible marks of our respect , and to the end to procure to your subjects all the advantages which they could have received from a general truce , we offered one by sea to your majesty for the term of a year , or a longer time , if your majesty thought it convenient ; judging , that in the condition things were then in , we could not give a greater proof of the ardent passion we had to smooth the way to a happy reconciliation , then by putting all your majesties subjects into a condition of tasting the sweetness of peace , while ours should suffer all the incommodities of war. the ministers of the king of spain have represented from time to time the same things to your majesty , and have often repeated their instances to incline your majesty to peace ; but besides all these advances , and the steps we have made in publick , we have made use of other means which we judged more efficacious : and his highness the prince of orange , as well of his own inclination , as at the request we have several times reiterated to him , hath used all imaginable ways of regaining the honour of your majesties friendship for us , and representing to you the advantage and glory your majesty might acquire , by re-establishing the quiet of christendom , and giving us a peace which we had so often and so ardently desired . but albeit vve had all reason to hope , that the instances of a prince who hath the honour to be so nearly related to your majesty , and whose personal merit is so well known , would at last prevail over those who are ill-affected to us ; and that besides we could hardly believe , that after his highnesses interests and ours were become common and were no longer separate in any thing , your majesty would retain your former sentiments , and go about to involve in our ruine one of the most illustrious princes of your bloud ; we have nevertheless with great sorrow seen that all these reasons have been alike weak , and that your majesty hath not been induced by any motive to abate any thing of your first rigour . so that when we expected a favourable answer to our overtures , it hath been declared to us at cologne , that no peace was to be hoped , unless there were accorded not onely to your majesty and the most christian king , but also to the elector of cologne and the bishop of munster , such conditions as never were demanded of a free people , and which can so little be proposed as articles of peace , that they can onely be the consequences of an absolute conquest , the subversion of the reformed religion , of which your majesty and the kings your most illustrious predecessors have been the strongest support and defenders , and which carried with them at once the utter ruine not onely of us , but also of the low-countries belonging to the king of spain . this hath obliged us on our side , after we had resolved upon a necessary defence , to press our friends to enter into a stricker alliance with us ; and it hath pleased god so to bless our endeavours , and the means we have used in order thereunto , that the most august house of austria hath declared in our favour , and the most serene king of spain in particular hath concluded with us a league offensive and defensive , in pursuance whereof he hath already declared war against the king of france . things being thus , sire , your majesty will easily believe that the consequences must be greater , but before the evil be past remedy we thought fit to make one final essay , and to assure your majesty that whatsoever change hath hapned in europe , our deference and respect for your majesty is still the same ; and that how considerable and how potent soever our allies are , we are not the less disposed to give your majesty all the satisfaction which you can reasonably pretend ; and we have this happiness , that our allies are of the same mind with us herein ; we presume therefore to hope that your majesty will not refuse at our request and their intercession , what we have not been hitherto able to obtain ; and that you will not augment the desolation which is already but too universal . but that we may omit nothing that may dispose your majesty thereunto , we beseech you to reflect upon all that hath passed since the beginning of the war , and at the same time to consider that it is from a particular one become general . when your majesty engaged in it we were the onely enemies ; at present a great part of europe is no less interessed therein then we ; and your majesty cannot continue a war , which hath already been so ruinous , without declaring it against those who are united with us , and without hazarding the safety of all christendom , if the arms of the king of france should be victorious through the succours given by your majesty to him . and your majesty can no longer take it ill that we yield not what your majesty might demand of us for france , since by an indispensable necessity we can no longer do it but with the agreement of our allies . so that as the general treaty appears accompanied with many difficulties , and that we foresee that it will be a means to continue this unhappy war , which we desire to put an end to speedily , especially with your majesty , we shall think our selves very happy if any of these considerations may make impression upon your majesties mind , and dispose you to resume those sentiments which we have heretofore with joy observed in your majesty , and in which , upon the reconciliation we promise to our selves , we doubt not but your majesty will continue for ever . in the mean time we pray god , sire , to crown your majesties reign with felicity , and to bless your royal person with health and long life . at the hague the th of october . your majesties most humble servants , the states-general of the vnited provinces of the low-countreys . gasp. fagel . by command of the abovesaid , h. fagfl . his majesties answer to the letter sent from the states general of the united provinces of the low countreys , by their trumpeter . high and mighty lords , although your letter of the ●●● / of october , considering the present conjuncture of affairs , the matter it contains , and the manner of sending it by a trumpeter when your deputies at cologne were in frequent conferences with our plenipotentiaries there , have more of the nature of a manifest then a letter , and that consequently you may not perhaps desire to have any answer made to it ; yet for the vindication of our honour , as well as for the undeceiving that part of the world which may be abused by it , we would not suffer it to remain without a distinct reply from point to point as they lie in your paper ( which we send you by the same hand that brought us yours ; ) and the rather because it may so have fallen out , that by the great revolutions which have lately hapned in your affairs and the change of your ministers , even your selves may have taken for truth what evil-minded persons have so maliciously suggested to you , thereby to seduce your own people as well as ours . there will need no great proofs to convince the world that many offensive medalls , inscriptions and libels were these last years past dispersed every where in your provinces , to the derogation of our honour , and that of the whole english nation , since the notoriety of them was so universal : but to this day neither we nor any body else knew you had disowned any part of them , until your aforesaid letter told us you had at the time they were complained of to your ambassador here , caused the stamps to be broken for fear new impressions should be secretly made by them ; neither do you yet tell us that ever you inflicted the least punishment upon the makers or dispersers of them . as to the affair of surinam ; could you make the world or our people believe what in this paper you affirm , your selves would have out-done your medalls , and would be more injurious then they , fastning a reproach upon us which we have been as far from deserving , as you , we hope , will be from being believed in the accusation . you say , you agreed to whatsoever we demanded in favour of our subjects remaining at surinam . did we not continually press their release from the time of our surrendring that place into your hands till the beginning of this present war , and is there not yet the greater part of them remaining there ? are they there detained your slaves at our desire ? did we send our ships thither onely for a colour , with intention to subject them to your tyranny more entirely and with the greater decency ? and not to deliver them from it ? was not the officer we sent thither , major banister , confined presently upon his arrival , and not suffer'd to speak with his countrey-men , or acquaint them with the care we had of them ? did he not protest against the governor for having broken the capitulation in eighteen several points ? and will you say all this was done according to what we desired ? had you been so tender of the bloud of both nations as in your paper you pretend , you would not so long and with so much obstinacy have persisted in oppressing those our subjects whom you detain in that colony . and it is manifest that if you could cast all the blame hereof upon vs , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 you have a mind to do it . all we can say therefore to this your assertion is , that you have indeed granted vs in words all we asked , but that we have never obtained any thing of you in deeds . what followed , was the pretended satisfaction you say you offered at all times to make vs in relation to the trade of our subjects in the east-indies . it was solemnly promised by the treaty of breda , that things should be adjusted by commissioners to be sent hither by you when there should be more leisure for it . but you well know that our ambassador whom we sent after the said treaty to reside with you , could obtain nothing in that matter by all his instances that could in any wise satisfie our east-india company . nor did the sieur van beuningen , who seemed to have come hither expresly upon that account , offer any more in all his conferences with our commissioners upon that subject . it is true , the ambassador boreel produced here a full power from you to treat and conclude an offensive and defensive league with vs , but we could not accept the proposition , because the conditions of it were not sufficiently equitable , and that instead of giving vs satisfaction in our complaints , he would never so much as admit of their being mentioned . on the contrary , his whole discourse tended to nothing else but to perswade vs that the states general offered vs this league as a mark of their friendship and for our security alone , seeming indifferent whether it were accepted or not ; and magnifying continually the greatness of your forces by land and sea , as sufficient to defend you against the formidable power of france ; and often threatning vs , that you could make such a league whensoever you pleased with france , and even against vs , if we accepted not what his masters offered vs. the sum of these two points is , that the sieur van beuningen was pleased to discourse concerning the satisfaction demanded by vs in point of trade in the east-indies , but departed without offering any thing ; and the sieur boreel offered us a league offensive and defensive , without giving vs satisfaction for the past injuries , or security against future ; and all this to the end the injuries we had complained of that till then were peculiarly your acts , might by a solemn treaty be declar'd our own . the next matter of offence given us was ( as you well observe in your letter ) the affront committed against our flagg in the moneth of august . complaint was made thereof to your ambassador residing here , and he assured us he would procure us a fair satisfaction thereupon : but three or four moneths time passing without the least notice being taken thereof by you , we held our self obliged to send our extraordinary ambassador to demand satisfaction of you in more earnest terms then we had done before ; to which not receiving any satisfactory answer , he had order to return . soon after he was followed by an extraordinary ambassador from you , who affirmed that he had no powers to make reparation for this affront , or any other of these things we had so often complained of , but to agree upon terms of regulation in the business of the flagg for the future ; yet saying withall , that of himself and without consulting you again he could not put any thing in writing concerning it . the arrival of the said ambassador extraordinary was about the time we were ready to make open declaration of war against your state ; which we could no longer delay , because the spring was coming on , and the said ambassador persisted that his instructions permitted him not to do any thing upon our demands ; neither was he able to produce any thing to justifie his delay , but the offering us to write to his masters for larger powers and instructions . the war following upon this , in the heat of it three deputies arrived here from you without any passports from us , or giving us notice of their coming according to the customs and usages of war. whereupon we might well have confined them ( as you say we did ) but we contented our self with warning them to abstain from coming to lodge in this our city , appointing them instead thereof lodgings in our palace of hampton court , with all other conveniences suitable to their character , and dissembling what we knew passed between them and persons they practised upon to cause tumults and disorders in our city , or to disturb the progress of the war. notwithstanding which , we forbore not to send to them some of the principal persons of our council to conferre with them and hear their proposals . to whom they made this onely answer , and persisted therein to the time of their departure , that they had no authority or instructions to make any propositions , but were content to hearken to those that should be made to them , and to transmit them to their masters ; hoping that while they amused us with this appearance , the deputies you had sent at the same time to the most christian king might have concluded a separate treaty with him . and can you flatter your selves with the opinion that the world should look upon this proceeding as a convincing proof of your ardent desires for peace ? did ever prince or state send an ambassador with design to obtain that which the ambassador was not empowered either to conclude or sign , especially to a prince with whom they had war ? it is much more rational to believe what you did was to gain time , whilst you endeavoured to put in execution those threats in relation to france that the sieur boreel had before given us. the minister of brandenburgh never declared that he came hither to make us any overtures of peace , or that he had any other commission then to incline us at the recommendation of his master to hearken to those that should be made us. he came hither at the time that the ambassador extraordinary of his most serene majesty the king of sweden arrived , in order to the offering us the me●iation of their master , which we readily embraced , as likewise a proposition made by them to us for a suspension of arms. but a little after when they proposed the same thing to you , you thought fit absolutely to reject the suspension ; and were so long bargaining upon the choice of a place for treating the peace , that many moneths passed without producing any other effect then your gaining your point in naming the city of cologne for the congress : which being agreed to , and our fleet ready to put to sea , you sent us word you would then accept a cessation of arms by sea. to which we found our self obliged to make answer , that a peace might be made in much less time then the terms of a partial suspension be agreed upon ; although it appeared to us a meer artifice , invented onely to charm the common peoples ears , and make us consume unprofitably all our preparations for equipping our fleet. in a word , when our merchants might really have received benefit by a suspension , you absolutely refused it , and would then onely yield to it when you saw your provinces like to suffer by the progress of the war. the ministers of spain never offered us any conditions , nor performed any other office , then in general terms to incline us to the thoughts of peace , which we ever accepted kindly from them . neither did our nephew the prince of orange ever make us any overtures for peace : we must needs avow , that the manner of your comportment towards him till the year last past , was no very good argument to perswade us , that your intentions of living in a good correspondence with us , were real and sincere : and although we were unwilling to shew our resentment of his usage publiquely , lest we should give occasion to his enemies to do him more harm ; yet so soon as the good will of the people prevailing against the louvestein party , had conferred upon him that power and authority in the government which his ancestors had so well merited , we applied our self with more zeal and efficacy to make the peace ; being further incited thereunto by the unexpected success of the arms by land of the most christian king. we forth with sent ambassadors extraordinary to him , to be present at the treaty ; which the louvestein party would have managed to the excluding of us , if the vertue and generosity of that prince would have permitted him to admit it : but so soon as our ambassadors were seen upon the place , the deputies withdrew themselves , and never after appeared ; following that fundamental maxim you had laid from the beginning of this war , to divide us by any kind of artifices , thereof to make your own advantage . as to your insinuation of our intention to ruine our nephew the prince of orange , you know your selves sufficiently the injustice of that reproach . and whilst at cologne you openly complain to the mediators that we are too zealous in advancing his interests , you would have our subjects believe we are guilty of ill nature towards him . and the better to improve this abuse you adde , without giving or having any the least ground for it , that our demands at cologne tend to the subversion of the protestant religion , and the ruine of our nephews family . we cannot conclude our remarks upon this letter or manifest framed by you with design to abuse your people and ours , and involved in terms of respect for our person , and fair words about a peace , without adding what ought to be convincing to the most obstinate amongst you ; at the same time you would perswade us to break our word and faith given to our allies , not to treat separately , you establish it for a fundamental point , that you cannot break the word you have given yours , without wronging your honour ; as if your honour ought always to be dear to you , but ours of little or no value with us. in the mean time , you make the proceedings of your deputies at cologne to pass for the fairest and most ingenuous that may be , reproaching that of our plenipotentiaries as rude and insincere ; saying , that notwithstanding all your endeavours , we would never yet abate of our first rigour . herein we appeal to the mediators themselves , who will not be wanting to do us justice in letting the world know , that our said plenipotentiaries have retrenched at least one half of their first demands , whilst yours have continually excused themselves from giving an answer upon any one of them , except that of the flagg , with which they seem inclined to gratifie us for the future , but in terms very equivocal , and which shall not take notice of any right we ever had to it for the time past : and this is the onely thing you have shewn the least disposition to yield to us during the whole course of this negotiation : and having made no further advance in the overtures of peace which you say you made us by our nephew the prince of orange , the ministers of spain and brandenburgh , and by those of the mediators themselves , you do not so much as mention one word of it in your said letter ; handling the matter of the peace in general terms , to acquire to your selves the reputation of it , and not making us one proposition but that of dividing us from our allies ; an action which you esteem too low for a common-wealth , but suitable enough to a king. if you have a desire to promote the peace in good earnest , instead of specious expressions , send powers without further delay to your deputies at cologne , to draw up just and equal articles with ours ; and the world shall see how ready we shall be to comply with them , and to resume those sentiments of friendship and esteem which the kings our predecessors have always had for your state : and to manifest to you that we are truly from white-hall the th of november , . your good friend , charles r. finis . a proclamation touching the election of fit persons to serve in parliament. by the king. charles ii, king of england, - . this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a of text r in the english short title catalog (thomason .f.

which followeth such princes as are esteemed rich in treasure : and considering the makers and ordainers of the aforesaid statutes , laws and proclamations , had prudently and providently foreseen , that if no gold or silver should be suffered ( directly or indirectly ) to be exported out of this nation , it must necessarily follow , that the foreign commodities , which are for the most part but delicacies , superfluities , or trifles ( which in it self is a thing intolerable ) could not possibly be imported in greater quantities , then the native commodities of our dominions might at least balance and answer in commerce , because no other means was left to satisfie or supply the overplus by our own gold or silver ; and by continuance of such course , these nations might have been secure , and certain never to have run behinde-hand , or become indebted , and yet still remain in great possibility to increase in wealth and treasure , even as it ever happens to prudent single persons , whereof the publick is the compact . upon these and many other weighty considerations , we , with the advice of our privy councel , are resolved to follow the safe and solid ways of our royal progenitors , for the good of all our loving subjects : and we do therefore publish and declare our royal will and pleasure to be , and we do hereby streightly command and charge , that no person or persons , alien or denizen , or other subject of what estate or quality soever , do at any time hereafter ( without our special licence already granted , or hereafter to be obtained ) transport , carry , or convey , or attempt , consent , assist , or endeavour to export , carry , or convey out of our dominions , and gold or silver , in plate , iewels , coyn , uessels , gold-smiths work , bullion in mass o● otherwise whatsoever , upon pain of our heavy indignation and displeasure , and such further punishment , as by the laws of this realm may be inflicted on them for such their offence . and to the end that none of our loving subjects may hereafter be deceived , or deceive themselves through ignorance of the many and good laws and statutes in this behalf made by our royal ancestors , and now in force , we have thought it fit and requisite to insert the particular branches thereof in this our proclamation ( that is to say ) the statute made at york in the ninth year of king edward the third , called , the statute of money , first , sixth , and ninth chapters , whereby it is provided , that from thenceforth none should carry any sterling out of the realm of england , nor silver in plate , nor uessel of gold or silver , upon pain of forfeiture of the same money , plate or uessel : and that the mayor and bayliffs in every port , where merchants and ships be , should take an oath of the masters and merchants of ships going and coming again , that they should do no fraud against the provision of that law in any point , and that good and streight ward should be made in all places upon the sea-coasts , in havens , and elsewhere , where any arrival should be , by good and lawful men thereto sworn , that in the kings name they should make diligent search , that no man , of what estate or condition soever , should carry out of the realm sterling money , silver in coyn , either of gold , or silver , or plate , nor uessel of gold or silver without the kings licence , as by the same statute ( amongst other things ) more fully doth appear : and one other statute made in the fifth year of king richard the second , the second chapter , whereby it was assented and accorded , that no manner of people , upon pain of as much as they might forfeit , should privily or apertly send or bring , or do to be sent or brought out of this realm , any gold or silver in money , bullion , plate or uessel , but in certain cases in the same statute mentioned , as by the same statute likewise ( amongst other things ) more fully doth appear . and one other statute made in the second year of king henry the fourth , the fifth chapter ; whereby the king , to obvent the subtilty of them the would do fraud or deceit to him , contrary to the said statutue made in the fifth year of king richard the second , did ordain and establish , that if from thenceforth any searcher of the king might finde gold or silver in coyn or in mass , in the keeping of any that should be passing , or upon his passage , in any ship or uessel for to go out of any port , haven or créek of the realm , without the kings special licence , that gold or silver should be forfeited to the king ( saving his reasonable expences ) as by the same statute more at large it doth and may appear : and so much of one statute made in the second year of king henry the sixth , the sixth chapter , whereby it is ordained and established , that no gold nor silver should be carried out of the realm contrary to the form of the statutes before made ( except in certain cases therein expressed ) upon pain of forfeiture of the value of the sum of money so carried out of the realm , as by the same statute , amongst other things , at large appeareth : and one other statute made in the five and twentieth year of king edward the third , the twelfth chapter , whereby it was accorded , that it should be lawful for every man to exchange gold for silver , so that no man hold the same as exchanged , nor take any profit for making of such exchange , upon pain of forfeiture of the money so exchanged ( except the kings exchangers . ) and one other statute made in the fifth year of king edward the sixth , the nineteenth chapter , whereby it was enacted , that if any person or persons after the first day of april then next following , should exchange any coyned gold , coyned silver , or money , giving , receiving , or paying any more in value , benefit , profit , or advantage for it , then the same then was or should be declared by the kings proclamation , to be currant for within this realm , and other his dominions , that then all the said coyned gold , silver , and money so exchanged , and every part and parcel thereof should be forfeit , and the parties so offending should suffer imprisonment for the space of one whole year , and make fine at the kings pleasure : and one other part of the said statute made in the said second year of king henry the sixth , the sixth chapter , whereby it was ordained & established , that the merchants aliens should finde surety in the chancery , every company for them of their company , that none of them should bring out of the realm no gold nor silver against the form of the said statute , upon pain of the forfeiture of the same gold or silver , or the value of the same . which said laws and statutes have also been confirmed and strengthened by sundry orders and proclamations of queen elizabeth , king james , and king charles our royal father of blessed memory , whereby this nation hath flourished for many hundred of years , famous for her constant sterling standard , and renowned for her plenteous stock of moneys , and magnificence in plate , until these late distracted times , wherein the great solemnities and reverence due to the laws of god and man , have been so miserably troden down , contemned and violated . and we do publish , charge and command , aswel our lord treasurer of england , chancellor of our exchequer , and warden of the cinque-ports , and his deputies , and all other our iudges , barons of the exchequer , iustices of peace , officers and ministers ( and more especially our officers of our mint ) customers , comptrollers , and searchers and their deputies , and waiters in all and every of our ports , and all other officers and ministers to whom it may appertain , and to all our subjects in general , that all and every the statutes and proclamations aforesaid , and all and every branch and clause thereof , so as aforesaid , respectively made against the exportation of gold or silver , in coyn or bullion , iewels , plate or uessels , and buying and selling of all sorts of gold or silver above the rates appointed in our mint , or other things therein contained ;

and farther , foreseeing , that in our guards , and standing garrisons , and other our forces necessary to be kept on foot for the safety of our royal person , and government , there will be many from time to time , who by reason of age or sickness , or other disabilities , will become unfit to be continued in our service and pay , and so unavoidably fall under the same miserable circumstances with the former : we therefore out of a tender and deep compassion of the sad and deplorable condition of so many loyal and brave men , and being desirous ( as much as in us lies ) to remove this also , among other discouragements , which else may hinder even men of courage , from entring into this kind of service to the crown ; have after mature consideration of the best means and methods of attaining so good an end , resolved to found and erect at chelsey ( in a place very proper for such a design ) a perpetual hospital , in which more then four hundred aged , or otherwise-disabled souldiers may at present , ( and so successively the like number for ever ) be lodged and supplied with the necessary supports of life , suitable to their respective conditions : in the beginning , and carrying on of which so pious , and charitable a work , we have of our own royal bounty already expended great sums of money , as by the fabrick to that purpose in great part erected appears . but now being sensible , that the compleat finishing of so chargeable a building , and much more the perpetual endowment thereof for the constant maintenance of so many aged , and infirm persons , will require a greater expence , than our particular bounty ( as our affairs now stand ) can well extend to ; we have thought fit to call in the aid , and assistance , of all our charitable and well-disposed subjects of estate and quality , and particularly of those of the clergy , who are such : and do therefore hereby will , and require you , that you forthwith send your circular letters , to all the bishops of your province , earnestly inciting them both by their own example ( if they be men of plentiful estates ) and ( however ) by such arguments of perswasion , wherewith so great , and so good a cause will abundantly furnish them ; to deal effectually with all our good subjects , within their respective dioceses , who are masters of considerable estates , exhorting them to contribute liberally to so good a design , tending so manifestly to the glory of almighty god , and the service of their king and countrey . and we do hereby assure both you , and them all , that whatsoever hath been , or shall be done , in compliance with this our royal command , and our so just expectations , shall be by us most graciously accepted , as a particular evidence of their good affection towards us , and of their zeal for our service . and so we bid you very heartily farewell . given at our court at whitehall the fourteenth day of november . in the thirty sixth year of our reign . to the most reverend father in god , william lord arch-bishop of canterbury , primate of all england , and metropolitan . by his majesties command , sunderland . london , printed by the assigns of iohn bill deceas'd : and by henry hills , and thomas newcomb , printers to the kings 〈◊〉 excellent 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by the king, a proclamation for prohibiting the exportation of iron ordnance and all great guns england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

the only causes that engage us to re-arme , and make our way to equity by the sword . for though it hath been too apparently suggested into the opinion of the vulgar , ( by those who disguise their actions with the specious colour of pretence ) that our fathers entring into a war-like posture ( meerly defensive ) was the sole destructive to the kingdoms peace ( the glory of a king being utterly inconsistent with the ruine of his people . ) vve doubt not on the contrary , but that now palpable experience proves them figments , ( though ( for a while ) of prevalency to work upon strong natures , even to the captivating the iudicious ) its influence having dissolved those catarhs ( which policy had bred in the eye of their understanding ) that now with ease they can discerne their errour . and now it is high time , and we resolve ( seeing the sense of your accumulated miseries hath revived your courage to an unanimous and generall vindication of your lives , your lawes and liberties out of the iron first of tyranny ) to give you our assistance both by sea and land ; and make your cause our own in equall interest . for it were too black a guilt upon our honour to stand by , and see the crown pluck'd from our fathers head , and the scepter wrested out of his hand , and not betake us to a rescue , especially when god presents us with so fair an opportunity ; the tie of nature , the deep distresses of our king and father , the relief of an enthralled people , ( lost by love , and made miserable by their loyaltie ) each being of force to awaken our just revenge , and whet our sword to your deliverance . and whosoever shall assist us either with money , horse or armes , or any appointed ( in commission ) by us , we do engage our honour so soon as it shall please god to re-invest our royall father in his throne , to see them fully satisfied with interest ; and all those gentlemen of what rank or quality soever , who through misguided zeal or otherwise , ingaged against our father in the former vvar , if they shall come in unto us , and engage with us , vve do faithfully promise in the word of a prince , not only to receive them into favour , but to advance them unto honour with a respect answerable to their merits ; and what arreares are , or shall be due unto them either for their past or future service , we promise to see them fully ( at the least contentedly ) discharged . and furthermore we declare unto all his majesties liege people and faithfull subjects , that we shall make it our greatest care to preserve them from violence and oppression , either of our owne armies , or our fathers enemies ; and whosoever shall chance to suffer in this expedition ( bearing allegeance to his majesty ) when god shall please to crown our resolutions with prosperity , we shall endeavour a recompence to their losses , and give them satisfaction . and now we call heaven to witnesse our integrity , and the justnesse of our cause , which we intend to prosecute , though with the losse of our dearest blood ;

we doe further declare , that by his death the crowne of england , with all priviledges , rights , and preheminences , belonging thereunto , is by a cleare and undoubted right of succession justly and lineally descended upon us , as next & immediate heyre & successor thereunto , without any condition or limitation , without any intermission or claime , without any ceremony or solemnity whatsoever ; and that by vertue thereof we are now in right lawfully seized of the said crowne ; and ought by the lawes of god and of that nation to enjoy a royall power there , as well in church as common-wealth , to governe the people of that kingdome , according to the antient and knowne lawes , to maintaine them in peace and justice , and to protect and defend them from the oppression of any usurped power whatsoever . and the people of that nation by the like lawes owe unto us , and ought reciprocally to pay duty and obedience unto us , as unto their liege lord and soveraigne . this royall right of ours is grounded upon so cleare a title , is setled by such fundamentall lawes , confirmed by so many oathes of allegiance in all ages , is supported by such a long continued succession in our royall progenitours , and by such a constant submission of all the people , that the same can admit of no dispute , no act of our predecessours can debarre us of it , no power on earth can justly take it from us ; and by the undoubted lawes of that nation , to oppose us either in the claim or exercise thereof , is a treason of the highest degree . and although the bloody contrivers of our fathers murther ( out of a pernitious hatred to all monarchies ) have by force , as much as in them lies , dis-inherited us of our princely right thereunto , banished and proscribed us , seized all our revenues , prohibited all entercourse and supplies to be sent to us , and have by violence imposed upon the people of england a new yoake of popular tyranny , to the utter s ; ubversion , not onely of our just rights , but of their lawes and liberties . yet we doe professe that we cannot perswade our selfe , that the body of the english nation hath so farre degenerated from their antient loyalty and vertue , as to consent to these horrid proceedings against us , or to approve the casting off that kingly government , under which they and their forefathers have happily flourished so many ages past , to the envy of all their neighbour nations . how can that once-happy nation of england despaire of blessed daies under a royall scepter , and vainly hope for them under the iron rod of an insolent multitude ? no , we cannot look upon these sad and dismall changes , as the desires or intentions of the better part of our subjects of that kingdome , but rather as the designes and contrivances of those wicked murtherers of our father , whose ambitions are endlesse , whose avarice is unsatiable , and whose guilt hath made them desperate . and therefore out of a confidence we have of the loyalty and good affections of many of our subjects of that nation ;

which unexpressible blessing ( by gods own most wonderful dispensation ) was compleated on the nine and twentieth day of may last past , being the most memorable birth-day not onely of us , both as man and prince , but likewise as an actual king , and of this and other our kingdoms , all in a great measure new-born and raised from the dead , on this most joyfull day , wherein many thousands of the nobility , gentry , gentry , citizens , and other our lieges of this our realm , conducted us unto our royal cities of london and westminster , with all possible expressions of their publick joy , and loyal affections , in far greater triumph then any of our most uictorious predecessors , kings of england , returned thither from their foreign conquests , and both our then houses of parliament , with all dutifull and joyful demonstrations of their allegiance publickly received , and cordially congratulated our most happy arrival and investiture in our royal throne at our palace at whitehall ; upon all which considerations , that being the day which the lord had made , and crowned with so many publick blessings , and signal deliverances , both of us and our people , from all our late most deplorable confusions , divisions , wars , devastations and oppressions : to the end it might be kept in perpetual remembrance in all ages to come , and that we would with all our subjects of this our realm , and the dominions thereof , and our posterities after us , might annually celebrate the perpetual memory thereof , by sacrificing their unfeigned hearty publick thanks thereon to almighty god , with one heart and voice in a most devout and christian maner , for all these publick benefits received and conferred on us on that most joyful day ; it was therefore by authority of the same parliament enacted , that all and singular ministers of gods word and sacraments , in every church , chappel , and other usual place of divine service and publick prayer , which then were , or then after should be within this our realm of england , and the respective dominions thereof , and their successors , should in all succéeding ages annually celebrate the said twenty ninth day of may , by rendring their hearty publick praises and thanksgivings unto almighty god , for all the fore-mentioned extraordinary mercies , blessings and deliverances received , and mighty acts done thereon , and declare the same to all the people there assembled , and the generations then , and yet to come , that so they might for ever praise the lord for the same , whose name alone is excellent , and his glory above the earth and heavens . and it was further enacted , that all and every person and persons inhabiting within this our kingdom , and the dominions thereunto belonging , should upon the same day annually resort with diligence and devotion , to some usual church , chappel , or place where such publick thanksgivings and praises to gods most divine maiesty shall be rendred , and there orderly and devoutly abide during the said publick thanksgiving , prayers , preaching , singing of psalms , and other service of god there to be used and ministred . and to the end that all persons might be put in minde of their duty thereon , and be the better prepared to discharge the same with that piety and devotion as becomes them , it was further enacted , that every minister should give notice to his parishoners publickly in the church at morning prayer the lords day next before every such twenty ninth of may , for the due observation of the same day , and should then likewise publickly and distinctly read the same act to the people , as by the same act may more at lage appear . we being most sensible of the great and wonderful mercies and deliverances vouchsafed by almighty god , mentioned in the said act , and holding our self highly obliged , and being most willing that the just tribute of praise and thanksgiving to our great soveraign , the king of heaven and earth , be returned by us and all our people for the same , according to the intent of the said act , do straightly command and enjoyn all our loving subjects , of what degrée , quality , or condition soever , solemnly and chearfully to conform themselves , and give obedience to the said act of parliament , and to set apart and observe the nine and twentieth day of this instant may , and so from time to time every nine and twentieth day of may in every year , as a day of publick praise and thanksgiving to almighty god for his said wonderful mercies , blessings , and deliverances vouchsafed to us and our people , as in the said act is mentioned . and to that end we command all archbishops , bishops , parsons , uicars , ministers , and all other ecclesiastical persons in their several charges , according to their several duties , to take care thereof , and to cause this our proclamation to be yearly read in all churches and chappels the lords day before the said day of publick praise and thanksgiving is to be observed and celebrated as aforesaid . and we strictly command all persons whatsoever , for the better observation of the said day , to abstain from all servile works and business on that day , and chearfully and orderly to repair to the publick place of gods divine worship , for the due performance of the duties of that day , according to the good intentions of the said act. and we declare , that such persons as shall be faulty herein , shall be estéemed by us , contemners and infringers of our laws and commands , and as prophane persons , shutting their eyes against such evident manifestations of mercy and goodness vouchsafed by almighty god to us and to our people . given at our court at whitehall , the twentieth day of may , in the thirteenth year of our reign , . god save the king . london , printed by john bill and christopher barker , printers to the king' 's most excellent majesty , . at the kings printing-house in black-friers . a proclamation to restrain the excessive carriages in wagons and four-wheeled carts to the destruction of high-ways england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page images. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

made in the times of our predecessors ( that is to say ) in the first year of king richard the third , in the third year of king edward the fourth , in the nineteenth year of king henry the seventh , and in the fifth year of queén elizabeth , it is enacted ( amongst other things ) that no merchant , denizen nor stranger , nor other person shall bring , send or convey from beyond the sea into this our realm of england , or dominion of wales , any laces , ribbonds , fringes , imbroidery , laces of silver or of gold , hats , knives , scissers , painted ware , caskets , poynts , gloves , locks , or brushes to be uttered and sold within our said realm of england , or dominion of wales , by way of merchandize , upon pain to forfeit the same wares and merchandizes , as often as they may be found in the hands of any person or persons to be sold , the one half of the said forfeitures to go to the use of our self , and the other half to any of our subjects that shall first seize the same , the which to do , they are thereby authorized . and whereas complaint hath beén to us made by the artificers in this our realm of england ( as well within our city of london , as within other our cities , towns , and boroughs ) that notwithstanding the said statutes , and the penalties therein contained , foreign wares and merchandizes of the sorts aforesaid ( amongst others ) have of late been brought from beyond the seas in great abundance , and sold within this our realm of england and dominion of wales , whereby the said artificers and their families are not only utterly impoverished , the youth not trained up in the said sciences , and thereby the said faculties , and the exquisite knowledge thereof , like in short time , within this our realm to decay , but divers of our cities and towns are thereby much impaired , the whole realm greatly endamaged , and foreign countries much enriched : we with the advice of our privy councel , out of our princely care of the artificers of this our realm , in the sciences aforesaid , to whom we resolve to give all good encouragement , they being nothing inferiour to foreigners ( although ( as we cannot but take notice ) our subjects are too inclinable to a preferrence of foreign manufactures before our own ) and for prevention of like mischiefs for the time to come , have thought fit by this our proclamation to revive the notice and memory of the said acts of parliament , and the penalties therein contained , to the end that all persons which are or shall be therein concerned , may not be able to pretend ignorance of their dangers or duties touching the premisses : and do also by like advice by this our proclamation streightly charge and command all merchants , as well denizens as strangers , and all other persons whatsoever , not to presume at any time hereafter to bring , send or convey into this our realm of england , or dominion of wales , from any part beyond the seas , any foreign bone-lace , cut-work ,

the addition they still made to their fleets beyond their first purpose , made it unavoydably necessary for me to make proportionable preparations , which god hath hitherto blessed with success in all encounters . and as the enemy have used their utmost endeavours by calumnies and fals suggestions to make themselves friends , and to perswade others to assist them against us , so i have not been wanting to encourage those princes who have been wrong'd by the dutch , to recover their own by force ; and in order thereunto , have assisted the bishop of munster with a very great summ of ready money , and am to continue a supply to him , who is now in the bowels of their country with a powerfull army . these issues , which i may tell you have been made with very good conduct and husbandry ( nor indeed do i know that any thing hath been spent that could have been well and safely saved ) i say , this expence will not suffer you to wonder , that the great supply which you gave me for this warr in so bountifull a proportion , is upon the matter already spent : so that i must not only expect an assistance from you . , to carry on this warr , but such an assistance as may inable me to defend my self and you against a more powerfull neighbour , if he shall prefer the friendship of the dutch before mine . i told you when i entred upon this warr , that i had not such a brutall appetite , as to make warr for wars sake , i am still o● the same minde ; i have been ready to receive any propositions that france hath thought sit to offer to that end , but hitherto nothing hath been offered worthy my acceptance , nor is the dutch less insolent , though i know no advantage they have had , but the continuance of the contagion ; god almighty i hope will shortly deprive them of that encouragement . the chancellour will inform you of all the particulars . the lord chancellor's speech to both houses of parliament . my lords , and you the knights , citizens , and burgesses of the house of commons , the king is not content , you see , to leave you to your selves , to make a state of this war , and the success that hath attended it , by your own observations , and the general communication of all that hath fallen out ; which , in truth , hath left few men ignorant of any thing , who have had any curiosity to inform themselves ; but , takes care that you be informed by himself , that you may know all that he knows , that so you may be able to give him your councel upon the clearest evidence . in order to this , it will not , i hope , be unseasonable or ingrateful to you , to refresh your memory , by looking some years backwards , even to the time of his majesties happy restauration , that we may take the better prospect of the posture we are now in , and how we have come into it . what inclinations his majesty brought home with him , to live in amity with his neighbors of holland , though he had received indignities enough from them ; and , in truth , had been little less proscribed there , then he had been in england , needs no other manifestation , then that he chose that place to imbark himself in , when he was pressed by the two neighbor kings , ( from whom he had received more civilities ) to have made use of their ports : it cannot be denyed , but that his reception in holland was with great civility and lustre , and a sufficient evidence , that they had a full sense of the high honor his majesty had vouchsafed to them , and the departure from thence was with equal and mutual satisfaction in each other ; which made many men the more wonder , that albeit the ambassadours who were to follow , had been nominated before the king left the hague , there was so long an interval before their arrival here , that the two neighbor kings , and many other princes , had finished their ambassies of congratulation , before we had heard any more from the vnited provinces . you all remember , how long it was before the armies were disbanded , and the fleets paid off ; during which time his majesty lived upon his credit , and easily contracted a great debt for the meer support of himself and his houshold , which was not so easily discharged afterwards . there was one thing that exceedingly surprized him , when he found ( which will be incredible to posterity ) that a triumphant nation , that had made it self terrible to christendom , by having fought more battles then all the neighbor kingdoms and states together had ever done in so few years , and seemed to be in a posture ready to fight them over again : that had so long reigned over the ocean in formidable fleets , should at the time of his majesties happy return , as if on the suddain all their arms had been turned into plough-shares , and their swords into pruning hooks , not have in all the magazins , in all the stores , armes enough to put into the hands of five thousand men , nor provisions enough to set out ten new ships to sea ; which his majesty did not desire should be known to his best neighbours , how little soever he suspected their affections ; nor did indeed , so much as make it known to his parliament ; but made it his first care , without the least noise , and with all imaginable shifts to provide for the full supply of those important magazins and stores , which have been ever since replenished as they ought to be . he had not the least imagination , that any of his neighbours would want only affect to interrupt the happy calme that he and themselves enjoyed ; and therefore resolved , to retrench the vast expence of the navy , under which he found the nation even to groan , and out of that good husbandry to provide for more necessary disbursments : yet , that the world might not think that he had abandoned the ocean , and that the memory of the glorious actions the english had so lately performed upon it , might not vanish in an instant , after he had provided such a guard , as the narrow seas never ought to be without , in the spring he sent a strong fleet against the pyrats of argiers and tripoly ( who had grown to that strength and boldness , that they interrupted the whole trade of christendome ) as the only enemies he would choose to have . it was a designe of great glory , and equal expence , crowned in the end by god almighty with the success we could wish , and with an entire submission to the english flagg , and as great security to all his majesties subjects , in their trade , as the engagement and honour of infidels could give ; and this agreement ratified with all formality ( the like whereof had never been before ) by the great turke himselfe . hereupon , the king again renewed his resolution for a further retrenchment of his naval expence , even to the lessening the guard in the narrow seas , his merchants in all places receiving lesse interruption in their trade , then they had in any former time undergone ; until he received intelligence from the straights , that the faithless people of argiers , who had so lately submitted to him , had committed new insolencies upon some of his subjects , or rather upon forraigne persons taken by his subjects into their protection , and which the turks pretended they might doe , without violation of the treaty ; but his majesty resolving to admit none of those elucidations , lost no time in sending a new strong fleet into the mediterranean , to chastise those perfidious pyrates ; and after a chargeable war made upon them , for nere , or full twelve months ; & after having taken several of their ships from them , and upon the matter blocking them up in their harbours , he received a second submission from them , with better and more advantageous conditions then the former . i must not omit one circumstance , that about this time , the dutch , who received much more prejudice and dammage from the turks , then the english had done , besought his majesty , that he would once more send a fleet into those seas against those pyrats , and that it might upon all occasions joine with one they were likewise ready to send out to the same christian end , and for the utter extirpation of those sea-robbers ; and within a very short time after the english fleet was gone , they likewise sent de ruyter with a good fleet thither , which was so far from any conjunction with us , that when our ships chased any argier-men neare them , they never offered to obstruct their flight , but quickly made it manifest , that they rather brought mony with them to buy a dishonourable and disadvantageous peace , then to make a war upon them . matters standing thus , the kings fleet being gone into the straights against the turkish pyrats , and there remaining few ships in the narrow seas , we began every day to heare of depredations by the dutch upon our merchants in all parts ; instead of delivering up the island of poleroon in the east indies , as by the treaty they ought to have done , they by their naval power in those parts hindred us from trading there , and would not suffer our ships to take in their lading of such merchandize as the factors had provided and made ready for their fraight , upon pretence that those ports , where the merchandize was ready to be imbarked , were in the dominions of some princes whom they had declared to be their enemies , and so they would not suffer any traffique to be maintained with them ; and they published the like declaration , and challenged the same soveraignty in affrica ; and by virtue thereof would not suffer our ships to trade upon that coast , where we had a tradelong before the dutch had any footing in those parts . these insolencies made that noise in the world , that the english merchants felt the effects of it in all places , till it reached the eares of the parliament , which in april last was twelve months presented the same to his majesty , and besought him that he would take some speedy and effectual course for the redress of those wrongs dishonours and indignities , which were the greatest obstructions of our trade , and declared , that in the prosecution thereof , they would with their lives and fortunes assist his majesty against all oppositions whatsoever . my lords and gentlemen , you very well remember , that though his majestie was very well pleased with the great zeal you shewed for the advancements of trade , he was far from resolving to make a war upon the warmt'h of that declaration , but told you , that he would examine and peruse the particular complaints which had been represented to his parliament , and would thereupon demand justice and reparation from the states general , which demand he appointed his minister residing there to make in a short time after ; what effect that candid way of proceeding found , is enough known to the world ; instead of other application , they declared themselves wonderfully offended with the declaration of the parliament , with many insolent expressions suitable to the manners of a common-wealth ; they gave present orders for equipping a very great fleet , and the raising many land-soldiers , making greater preparations for war then they had done in many yeares before ; they had made a complaint to his majestie , that a captain of one of the ships which his majestie had lent to the royal company , had in his voyage thither taken a fort belonging to them , neer cape verte , for which they demanded satisfaction ; the king assured them , that he had not the least commission or authority from him for so doing ; that he expected him home very speedily , and then he should be sure to undergo that punishment which the nature of his offence required , when the matter should be examined , and they should be sure to receive full reparation ; this satisfied them not , but in great fury , they resolved to send forthwith a strong fleet to guinney , and granted a commission ( which they took care to publish ) to the commander in chief , to make war upon the english in those parts , and to doe them all the mischief they could . the king found himselfe now obliged , in what straight soever , to provide for the protection of his subjects in those parts , and for the support of that trade , which i doubt is not enough taken to heart , and the value thereof not enough understood ; and in order thereunto , with great speed , caused a fleet to be made ready for that expedition , under the command of his highness prince rupert , who was under sail for the voyage , when his majesty found it necessary to stop the prince his further prosecution of it , upon good intelligence that the dutch had appointed their admiral with a fleet of fifty sail to convoy the other fleet designed for guinney , through the channel , in contempt of his majesty , who had a very small fleet in readiness ; and that de ruyter was likewise sent out of the straights from prosecuting the turks , to make war upon the english in guinney ; when at the same time they had earnestly pressed the king upon many professions of desire to prevent a war , that prince rupert's fleet might stay in harbour , as theirs should doe , till some means might be found for an accommodation of all differences ; and in truth , this very difficult stratagem of pretending one thing , and intending another ; of promising with all solemnity , and never resolving to performe ; of swearing this day not to doe a thing , when they had served their turne by having done it yesterday , that no body could know , is the highest pinacle of their wisdome of state ; by which they governe their affaires , and delude their neighbours . the winds were not favourable to this triumphant designe , and now the king found the value of the vote and declaration of his parliament , it was a rich and a massy vote , which in a short time he coyned into ready money in the chamber of the city of london , with which he gave order forthwith to make ready more ships , and the duke going himselfe to the fleet , by his indefatigable industry , with incredible expedition , added so many good ships to those under the command of prince rupert , that in november he put himselfe on board the fleet , resolving to stop the dutch , if the wind gave them leave to persue their former resolution ; which , from the time the duke was known to be at sea , they fairly declined , and were content rather to be safe in their own harbours , then to look to the security of their merchants ; it was high time now to seize upon as many of their ships as came in our way , to satisfie the dammages we had reason to believe we should sustain from de ruyters expedition into guinney , with the commission mentioned before ; but there was not the lading of one ship sold , or disposed of , till his majestie received full information of de ruyters having begun the war upon the coast of africa , by seizing upon our ships , taking our forts , and committing all the acts of hostility which his commission directed him unto ; his majestie likewise at the same time , receiving new advertisement of their refusal to deliliver up the island of poleroon to him , which they were bound to by their treaty ; and will you not wonder , after all this , at the confidence of these men ; and more , that any neighbour-prince should have that confidence in them , as to declare , that the king our master is the aggressor , that he first began the war. from this time the war began to be more in earnest , and to be carried on at another expence ; though his royal-highness ventured himselfe in november in a fleet consisting of little more then fifty ships , to stop the dutch from passing through the channel ; yet , in april ( which was within few daies after your prorogation at the end of your last session ) he went again to sea with a much stronger fleet , and more proportionate to the great preparations the enemy had made ; and even after he was gone to sea , upon great additions of strength every day made by the dutch , more good ships were sent to reinforce the fleet ; insomuch , as upon that glorious third of june , when they had the courage to visit our coast , after the duke had , in vain , called upon them at their own doors , and took many of their merchants ships in their sight , the english fleet consisted of very few less then sail. the action , and the blessing of that day , hath been celebrated in all the churches in england , and in the hearty devotions of all true english-men ; and therefore , i shall say no more of it here , save onely , that whether the publick joy then , even upon the solemn thanksgiving day , was superior to the universal consternation that spread it self over the nation before , i appeal to the breasts of all here present : we , who had the honor to be near the king at that time , observed him to be in that agony , that cannot be expressed ; an agony himself could not have long endured , even when by all the intelligence he received hourly from the coast , he had reason to assure himself of the victory . in that great action , we sunk , burned and took , eighteen good ships of war , whereof half were the best they had , with the loss of one single smal ship of ours , but of many noble and gallant persons , of too much value to be ventured ( if there had not been a greater venture ) against such trash ; and whose memories ought ever to be preserved and extolled , and made pretious to posterity . no diligence was omitted , but all imaginable expedition used in refreshing , repairing , and setting out the fleet again ; in order to which , the king himself made a journey thither , and stayed till he saw all ready and fit to sail ; but then , no intreaty , no importunity could prevail with him to venture his brother again , though his family , and all preparations for the voyage were still on board : his majestie too well remembred , and still felt the impressions he had undergone the third of june , and having got his brother into his armes again , he would not returne without him , committing the charge of the fleet to the earle of sandwich , who had acted so good a part in it . within few days after the beginning of july , the earle of sandwich went again to the coast of holland , with a fleet in no degree , inferior to the former , and rode before the texel to envite the dutch to a new engagement , they having used all the arts at home to conceal the losse and dishonour they had undergone ; and pretended to be very ready and solicitous for another battail , when there was no appearance of their purpose to come out ; and upon sure intelligence that the east-india fleet was comming about by the north , he received orders to go for norway , upon such encouragement as was not made good , so that he was disappointed of the expectation he had very reasonably carried with him thither , and at a season when that climate gives little encouragement to abide in those seas ; i am not yet to inlarge upon that matter , till we heare a be●ter account from some of our freinds ; however , though he could not meet with their whole fleet , as he endeavoured to doe , yet he hath had the good fortune in two encounters to take eight of their great ships of war , two of their best east india ships , and about twenty of their merchants ships , all under the protection of their fleet , or ought to have been ; and was then by tempest , and other reasons , which no wisdome of his could prevent , obliged to put into our own harbours . i doe not mention the great numbers of the prisoners we have taken , an army of prisoners , who intruth do us more harme at land , then ever they did at sea , and are a charge that never fell under our estimate and computation ; i would not be understood , that we had entred upon a war and never thought of prisoners , and sick and wounded men ; but that the prisoners and wounded men should bring upon us so prodigious an expence , and of which we can yet see no bottome ; insomuch , as in one place , i think colchester , that charge comes to twelve hundred pound the week : i say , such an expence never came into our computation . the king tels you , he hath enabled the prince and bishop of munster to demand justice from those who have so notoriously oppressed him , with such outragious circumstances of insolence and scorne , as are enough known to the world ; and he hath demanded it bravely , in such an equipage , as hath not been made for little money , in which he can take , as well ask satisfaction . after all this , since there is a justice due to the worst enemies , we must doe them this right , that they doe not at all seem weary of the war ; they doe not discover the least inclination to peace . it is true , the french king hath offered his mediation , and truly if he intends no more then a mediation , it is an office very worthy the most christian king ; i wish with all my heart , that ( as a mediator ) he would make equall propositions , or that he would not so importunately press his majesty to consent to those he makes , upon an instance and argument , that he holds himself engaged by a former treaty ( of which we never heard till since the beginning of this war , and had some reason to have presumed the contrary ) to assist the dutch with men and money , if his majesty doth not consent . his majesty , tels you , that he hath not an appetite to make war for wars-sake , but will be alwayes ready to make such a peace as may be for his honour , and the interest of his subjects ; and no doubt it will be a great trouble and grief to him to find so great a prince , towards whom he hath manifested so great an affection , in conjunction with his enemies ; yet even the apprehension of such a war , will not terrifie him to purchase a peace by such concessions as he would be ashamed to make you aquainted with ; of which nature you will easily believe the propositions hitherto made to be , when you know that the release of poleroon in the east-indies , and the demolishing the fort of cabo corso upon the coast of guinney , are two ; which would be upon the matter to be content with a very vile trade in the east-indies , under their controule , and with none in guinney ; and yet those are not propositions unreasonable enough to please the dutch , who reproach france for interposing for peace , instead of assisting them in the war ; boldly insisting upon the advantage the contagion in london , and some other parts of the kingdom gives them ; by which , they confidently say , the king will be no longer able to maintain a fleet against them at sea ; & as if god almighty had sent this heavy visitation upon the kingdome on their behalfe , and to expose it to their malice and insolence ; they load us with such reproaches as the civility of no other language will admit the relation ; the truth is , they have a dialect of rudeness so peculiar to their language , and their people , that it is high time for all kings and princes to oblige them to some reformation , if they intend to hold correspondence or commerce with them . my lords and gentlemen , you see in what posture we stand with reference to our neighbours abroad , who are our declared enemies , their malice & activity to make others declare themselves so too ; the great preparations they make , & even declarations , that they will have another battail , towards which , they have in readiness an equal number of new , greater , and better ships , to those they have lost , furnished with larger and greater artillery ; so that if they were to be manned with any other nation but their own , they might be worthy our apprehension : what preparations are to be made on our part , you can best judge : i have fully obeyed the command that was laid upon me , in making you this plain , clear , true narrative of what hath passed ; i have no order to make reflection upon it , nor any deduction from it : the king himself hath told you , that the noble , unparalel'd supply you have already given him , is , upon the matter spent ; spent with all the animadversions of good husbandry , that the nature of the affair will bear : what is more to be done , he leaves entirely to your own generous understandings , being not more assured of any thing that is to come in this world ; then that the same noble indignation ; for the honor of the king and the nation , that first provoked you to inflame the king himself , will continue the same passion still boyling in your loyal breasts ; that all the world may see , which they hoped never to have seen , that never prince and people were so entirely united in their affections , for their true , joynt , inseparable honor , as their onely sure infallible expedient to preserve their distinct several interest . my lords and gentlemen , having yet onely presented you a short view of your forraign enemies , it may not be altogether unseasonable that you take a little prospect of those at home , those unquiet and restless spirits in your own bowels ; upon whose infidelity , i doubt , your enemies abroad have more dependance , then upon their own fleets . i must appeal to every one of your observations , whether the countenances of these men have not appeared to you more erected , more insolent in all places since the beginning of this war , then they were before : in what readiness they were , if any misfortune had befallen the kings fleet ( which they promised themselves ) to have brought the calamity into your fields , and into your houses , is notoriously known : the horrid murtherers of our late royal master , have been received into the most secret councels in holland , and other infamous prostituted persons of our nation , are admitted to a share in the conduct of their affairs , and maintain their correspondence here upon liberal allowances and pensions : too many of his majesties subjects , who were lent by this crown to assist and defend this ingrateful state against their enemies , have been miserably wrought upon , for the keeping a vile , mean subsistance , rather then livelyhood , to renounce their allegiance , and become enemies to their native countrey ; some of whom , have wantonly put themselves on board the enemies fleet without command or office , purely out of appetite and delight to rebel against their king , and to worry their countrey ; it is great pity these men should not be taught by some exemplary brand , that their allegeance is not circumscribed within the four seas , but that they have obligations upon them of duty and loyalty towards the king , in what part soever of the world they shall inhabit . their freinds at home impatient of longer delays for the successes they have promised themselves , and for the succours which others had promised to send to them , made no doubt of doing the business themselves , if they could but appoint a lucky day to begin the work , and you had heard of them in all places upon the third of the last month ( their so much celebrated third of september ) if the great vigilance and indefatigable industry of the good general , who is always awake for the kings safety , and the peace of the kingdom , had not two days before apprehended the seditious leaders , and given advertisements for the securing of others in most parts of the kingdome ; by the confessions of many of whom , their wicked designe is enough manifested and ready for justice ; yet some of the principal persons are not yet taken , and some others got themselves rescu'd after they were apprehended . my lords and gentlemen , let it not i beseech you , be said of us , what was heretofore said of the senate of rome , when they were prosperous enough , and when they had obtained greater victories over their enemies abroad then we have done , excellentibus ingeniis citiùs defuit ars , quâ civem regant , quàm quâ hostem perdant . let not those scorpions be kept warme in our bosoms till they sting us to death ; let not those who hate the government , would destroy the government , be sheltred under the shadow and protection of the goverment . it is posssible , and god knows it is but possible , that some men who are not friends to this or that part of the government ( for you are not to believe that they always discover , what in truth they are most angry with ) who would not buy those alterations they most desire at the price of a civil war ; they would bring it fairly about , wait for a godly parliament , and do all by their consent ; yet those persons must not take it ill that we cannot desire they should ever have it in their power to bring those alterations to pass , by those means they now seem to abhor ; and i do heartily wish , i am sure they will not be the worse men , nor the wore subjects for it , that they would a little reflect upon what is past , remember how much they have once done , more then they intended to have done ; nay , what they heartily abhorr'd the thought of doing ; and they will then finde the onely way to preserve themselves innocent , is to keep their minds from being vitiated by the first impressions , by jealousies , murmurings , and repinings , and above all , by their conversations with those men , or indulgence toward them , who would sacrifice the peace of the kingdome to their own ambition , pride , and even to their humour ; if you carefully provide for the suppressing your enemies at home , which will put you to little other expence , then of courage , constancy and circumspection , you will find your enemies abroad less exalted , and in a short time more enclined to live in amity with you , then to make war upon you , especially when they see you doe in bello pacis gerere negotium ; and that you take the carrying on the war to heart , as the best , and the only expedient to produce a happy and an honest peace . finis . by the king, a proclamation whereas on tuesday the sixth of this instant december ... a barbarous and inhumane attempt was made upon the person and life of ... james, duke of ormond ... england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

your majesty would therefore be pleased to keep back your fleet , and not suffer it to go to sea , as their lordships offer on their part to do ; the whole intent and design tending onely to the safety of both parties , and the prevention of the foresaid sinister encounters . moreover , whereas their lordships have been informed , that captain holmes with the vessels under his command hath now again ( as heretofore ) done very great and enormous injuries to the netherlandish company of the west-indies , by taking divers of their vessels upon the coast of africk , as also by making himself master of some places and forts belonging unto them , and namely amongst others of capo verde , &c. which is directly contrary , not onely to the treaty last concluded between your majesty and the states of the united provinces , but also to mutual amity and good neighbourhood : the said ambassador did therefore in the name of his superiors , demand restitution of the same , and that reparation might be made of the damages and interests , which the said company and other subjects of their lordships , who were concerned , have suffered thereby ; as also that the like proceedings and violences might be prevented for the future by an express order . in the third place , that their lordships being from day to day confirmed by certain intelligence coming from that coast , that the foresaid action of captain holmes had not onely been effected in the manner above specified , but also that he was intended to carry on his design further , by making incursions and seizing upon all the coast , and that for his better success therein , he expected a notable supply of ships from england , as the whole matter may be proved by the testimony and depositions of credible persons newly come from thence : which actions being without right , reason and equity , and which consequently cannot be endured , nor looked upon with a good eye , your majesty was entreated that it might be your good pleasure to command as well the said captain holmes , as others who were in that engagement , or are held to have been employed therein , not only to restore the foresaid forts and vessels so taken , and to repair the damages thereby suffered ( as reason requires ) but also that the ships which by report are now ready to set sail , or which may be fitting for that end , may by your majesties express command be prohibited and charged not to do or cause any other injury or damage to the said company , or to any other the subjects of the united provinces . fourthly , forasmuch as the poorand afflicted reformed churches in the valleys of piedmont have represented , that after the agreement made with his royal highness the duke of savoy some while since , they are again overwhelmed & ruined by exactions & charges required of them to defray the expences of the army which the said duke had commanded against them , which charges amounted to so high a sum , that it was impossible for them to make it up , for the reasons more at large alledged in their remonstrance ; therefore they have desired the intercession of the states general with your majesty , that your ambassador in the court of france may have order to procure from his most christian majesty ( as being mediator between his said royal highness and them ) as much favour and comfort to those poor afflicted churches as can possibly by any means be obtained . and finally , considering that the vessels coming from the united provinces into the rivers , streams and roads of this kingdom , are stopped there under pretence that there be persons and commodities on board which come from places infected with the plague , or at least suspected to be so , by which means the freedom of trade and passage is obstructed and disturbed , to the great prejudice of the inhabitants of both nations : the said ambassador therefore insisted thereupon , that the same might be remedied , or at least that the strictness of those orders might be mitigated in such measure as in reason shall be found convenient ; and that the rather , because , by the mercy of god , all the provinces in general are not infected with the contagion . to all that is above said , your majesty hath been pleased to answer in effect , to wit , upon the first point , touching keeping of the fleet from going to sea , that the numbers which were fitted and prepared on your majesties side being no way extraordinary , but onely for common and customary use , and without design of bringing any damage or inconvenience upon the inhabitants of the united provinces , the said vessels could not be kept from going to sea , because your majesties honour was engaged therein ; nevertheless that you would give such orders to the chief commander of your said fleet , that their lordships shall have no cause to apprehend any sinister encounters from it . as to the second , touching the action of captain holmes ▪ your majesty thought good to answer thereunto , that you had received no information of it , and that having given no order for his so doing , you would cause reparation to be made , if the matter proved to be true , and that the said captain holmes should be punished according as the case should require : nevertheless adding thereunto afterwards at another audience , that the west-india company had likewise done much damage to your majesties subjects upon the said coast , pretending to be masters thereof to themselves alone ; which thing ought to be considered also in its proper season , judging it unreasonable and unjust that the trade of the english upon that coast should continually be disturbed and hindred . and as to the third , your majesty was pleased to say as before , that you had received no information of holmes his actions in those parts ;

and whereas the people of these nations ( over whom your authority is extended ) are divided in their judgments in matters spiritual , and are of different principles and wayes in relation to faith and worship and practises of religion , and yet are all of them free-born people , and natives of these kingdoms , and as such ought to possesse and injoy their lives , liberties and estates by the just lawes of god and man ; and may not justly any of them be destroyed by you , nor one sort of another , in their persons and estates , by death , banishment or other persecutions , for and because only of their differences in matters of opinion and judgement , nor though they are contrary minded in profession of faith and worship and religion , while they do walk peaceably and justly in their conversations , under the kings authority , and do not make practise of their religion , to the violating of the government , nor to the injury of other mens persons or estates , but ought rather to be defended and protected by you in all their rights both as men and christians , both in things civil and spiritual , notwithstanding their difference in matters religious as aforesaid , they giving proof of their peaceable and honest deportment towards the king and his government , and the people of these kingdomes . and therefore that due care may be had , as justly it ought to be by you , for the peace and prosperity and happiness of these kingdomes , and that the just liberties both civil and spiritual of all people therein , may be allowed and maintained in all the kings dominions , and that unity and peace may be fully established , and justice and righteousness only brought forth in the land , and all persecution , hatred , contention and rebellion may die and perish and never more appear ; and that all christian people ( though different in judgement and practises in matters of faith and worship ) may be protected to live a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty under this government , and that indignation and vengeance may he diverted from these lands , which seems to threaten because of the contrary , and that blessings and peace may come , and rest upon this people forever . therefore for these ends and causes , and in the name of the lord i do propound unto you , and lay before you on the behalf of all the divided people of these kingdoms , that free liberty of conscience in the exercise of faith , worship and religion to god-wards , may be allowed and maintained unto all , without any imposition , violence or persecution exercised about the same , on the persons , estates , or consciences of any in any relation of religion , the worship of god , church government and ministry ; but that all christian people may be left free in all these kingdomes , in the exercise of conscience without being restrained from , or compelled to any way of worship and practise of relig●on , upon any pains and penalties , and that every one may be admitted to worship god in that way as his spirit perswades the heart , and may be defended in such their profession of religion , while they make not use of their liberty to the detrement of any other mens persons or estates as aforesaid . and let it not seem strange to you , why i appear in this manner and matter , at such a season as this ; for your very happiness , prosperity and establishment , or the contrary , dependeth hereupon , even in allowing and maintaining liberty of conscience in the exercise of religion , or in limiting and forcing and persecuting about the same , and this may appear if ye justly consider these things following . . the lordship in and over conscience , and the exercise thereof in all matters of faith , and worship and duty to god-wards , is gods alone only and proper right and priviledge , and he hath reserved this power and authority in himself , and not committed the lordship over conscience , nor the exercise thereof , in the cases of faith and worship , to any upon earth , not to prescribe and impose principles and practises of faith and worship and religion , by force and violence on the persons and consciences of men , but this belongs only to god , even to work faith in the heart , and to convert to holiness , and to lead and teach people by his spirit in his worship , and to exercise their consciences in all his wayes ; for the apostles themselves said , they had not dominion over the faith of the saints , cor. . . but the lord alone ▪ and king charles the first , said in his meditations , page . of that edition printed for r. royston ; i have often declared how little i desire my laws and scepter should intrench on gods soveraignity which is the only king of mens consciences , &c so that to be lord in conscience and exerciser thereof in all the matters of gods kingdome , is his only proper right , and to him alone it appertains . . and therefore consider if ye do not allow free liberty of conscience , and give unto god the lordship and exercise thereof in all matters of faith and worship to him-wards , but do impose by violence in forcing to , and restraining from such and such wayes of religion , then ye take dominion over mens faith , which ye ought not to do , and ye intrench on gods soveraignity , and usurps his authority in exercising lordship over the conscience , in and over which christ is only king as before recited , and ye ought not to take his right from him , nor to exercise that authority over mens faith and cons●iences which only appertains unto him , as his proper priviledge ; for in so doing how dangerous effects may it bring forth , even ye may easilie provoke the lord to wrath against you , and bring upon your selves sorrow and misery , if ye excise violence upon mens consciences in and concerning religious matters , contrary to the scriptures and the example of primitive christians who were persecuted for their conscience sake , but did never persecute nor punish any for that cause , nor ever used violence about their religion , as charles the i. in his meditations pag. . nothing ( said he ) violent nor injurious can be religious , &c. . consider , if ye allow not the free exercise of conscience in spiritual matters , but do take dominion over mens faith , and impose by violence in the cases of conscience about religion , and do not suffer the lord to enjoy his onely right to be king , in the matters of his own kingdom , then ye divert the end of just rule and government among men , and perverts the end of gods great love and favour shewed unto you in restoring of you to the place of authority and judgment ; for the end of just government upon earth by kings and rulers is to exercise justice , truth , and righteousnesse among men , and over the outward man , and to be a praise to all that do well , and walks uprightly , and to be a terrour to all transgressors and them that do evil in their outward man , and to keep the outward man in good order by just judgment in all cases between man and man ; this is only the extent of your authority over the outward man , and to your jurisdiction only this belongs , to judge in truth and righteousness , to make laws and execute them between man and man , to preserve mens persons and estates from the wrong one of another , but not at all to make laws and execute them between god and mens consciences in the cases of his spiritual kingdom , this power belongs to god , and he hath not committed it to you to exercise ; and therefore , let justice , equity and mercy be exercised by you among men , and over the outward man , and in all cases between man and man ; but meddle not in the cases of mens faith to god , and their consciences to him , but leave that unto him alone whose right it is , for it is dangerous , and will bring wofull effects if ye intrench on gods soveraignity , and if ye divert the proper end of just government , and of the love of god in restoring you into authority and power . . consider , if ye allow not free liberty of conscience in the profession and practice of spiritual things , but will compel by violence about religion , then this will inavoidably produce and bring forth cruel persecution in the kingdoms , imprisonment , banishment , and death , and all the evil effects of persecution will fill the nations ; for though never so forceable impositions be laid on the persons , estates , and consciences of men , for the cause of difference in judgment , and practises of religion , and to compel into conformity , yet it cannot be supposed that all will bow and conform to the denying of that way which they are perswaded in conscience to be right , and to the embracing of what they cannot in conscience believe is of god , but will rather suffer the cruelest death , then conform to any thing contrary to light and knowledge ; and if free liberty of conscience be denied , many such must needs be exposed to persecution , even to death , though they may be peaceable people , and profitable inhabitants of the kingdoms , and in the things between man and man , and in all matters temporal pertaining to the king , may be just , and righteous , and unreprovable , yet because of difference in judgment and opinion , exposed to be destroyed in person and estate ; and such effects will not be of honour nor safety to these nations if innocent and just men be destroyed , and their relations ruined , onely for their conscience and religion sake , by persecution . . consider , if ye do impose one way of worship by force , and persecute all that are contrary-minded , to prison and death , then how shall your names and memorial be left a reproach to generations after you , in dayes to come , who shall repute you cruel men and persecutors , and such as destroyed your people for difference in matters of religion , and without just cause , and thus will your names be a curse and not a blessing to your children and their children to all ages , if that ye make laws and execute them to the persecution and destruction of people for conscience sake , and for difference in religion ; for persecution was never of god , nor ever justified in succeeding ages , but persecutors alwaies were rendred tyrants , and cruell in the ages succeeding them ; for do not you condemn the papists as oppressors and cruel persecutors in queen maries daies , for their persecuting your fore-fathers ? and king iames said it was usually the condition of christians to be persecuted , but never to persecute , &c. in his apology for the oath of allegiance , pag. , and indeed , they are no true christians that persecutes for matters of conscience , and difference in opinion , but the false christians that have a form of godliness but are without the power , and out of the doctrine of the scriptures , who saith , love your enemies , and render to no man evil for evil , but over come evil with good . . consider , if ye do impose upon the conscience , and persecute about religion , ye can never effect your end thereby , as to force all into a conformity and uniformity to your church and religion ; but though death , and banishment , and the loss of all be inflicted , yet such a thing cannot be effected , neither is it the way of christ to promote his church , and to convert the contrary-minded by such means as force and violence exercised on mens persons and estates ; as k. iames said in his speech in parliament , . that it is a sure rule in divinity , that god never loves to plant his church with violence and bloud , and if ye do persecute to the heighth in the case of religion , ye will weaken your selves , and cause the love and good affection of people to die towards you , and the persecuted will grow , and their cause be made honourable , and many will be increased unto it , for it is usual in ages that the way and religion which hath been most persecuted hath most grown , and thus it must infallibly be at this day , and ye can never effect your end by persecution , nor promote your own church , nor destroy all the contrary-minded ; as a privy counsellor to k. iames the th . of scotland , advised in counsel about the year . upon the occasion of diversities of opinions then in that kingdom , said he , it is an errour of state in a prince for an opinion of piety to condemn to death the adherers to new doctrines ; for the constancy and patience of those who voluntarily suffer all temporal miseries for matters of faith , stir up numbers who at first and before they had suffered were ignorant of their faith and doctrine , not onely to favour their cause , but to embrace their opinions , pity and commiseration opening the gates , and thus their faith is spread , and their number daily increaseth , &c. . consider , if that ye do not allow liberty of conscience but do impose and persecute as aforesaid , though some for your fear , and terrour , and force against their consciences should deny their principles , and conform to your church , such ye cause to sin ; for whatsoever is performed by force and not of faith is sin , as it is written , and such their sin will be laid to your charge ; and such who cannot deny their principles and conform , will be destroyed , and their death will be accounted against you in the day of the lord ; and therefore if ye do not allow liberty of conscience , many grievous evils will infallibly follow , both to your selves and your people and what advantage of honour will such be to god and your ; church , that are against their consciences and light forced into a conformity for fear and terrour of men ; it makes them manifold more the children of the devil , and time-servers , and hypocrites , and destroys their souls , and such can be no true members of the true church of christ , but are reprobates , and a dishonour to god and your church . . consider , if ye constrain and compel in matters of religion , and do not allow liberty of conscience , it is unreasonable and unequal , and down-right contrary to the holy and pure law of god , which saith , ye shall do unto all men , as ye would that men should do unto you , and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self , and this is the fulfilling of the law ; but to be imposed upon and persecuted for the cases of consciences , and for the matters of worship of god , your selves would not willing be against your light and knowledge , and then it is unequal and unjust , and contrary to the law of god , for ye to do the same to others , which your selves would not be done unto ; and do not you to this day cry out against the papists in queen maries daies , and at this day in other nations , and condemn them as tyrants and oppressors , for persecuting , killing , and destroying the protestants , for the matters of their conscience and difference in opinion and judgment ? and will you do the same at this day as they do to others , and follow their example of cruelty and persecution , and break the law of god , and walk contrary to it , in doing to others what you would not be done unto ? and seeing you condemn the late foregoing powers in these kingdoms for tyrants and usurpers , and oppressors , for prohibiting your way of worship , and commanding the contrary , and disanulling so much as they could your service book and ministry ; how can you justly do the like to others , as to force waies of religion upon them , and prohibit theirs and command the contrary ? if you do it , ye condemn your selves by judging of others in the like case . . consider , if ye do not allow liberty of conscience , but impose church government and religion by paines and penalties , then ye will fill the land with hypocrites , and force people into time-serving obedience , and into formal waies of worship , some against their consciences , and some in the ignorance thereof , which is great abomination unto the lord , and such will neither be true and faithful in church nor state , but will seek advantages against you ( if they are forced by violence in the cases of their consciences ) and it will beget great contentions and hatred in the minds of men , and divide them into heart-burnings one against another , and against you and your government ; for if men become hypocrites for your fear and terror , and deny their professed principles and conform , they will be false-hearted , and envious , and malicious , and attempt any thing to be freed from bondage and impositions of conscience , and their hearts will be disengaged in love and affection to you-wards ; and this will be infallibly the effect of persecution for conscience sake , as king charles the i. saith in his meditat. a charitable connivance and christian toleration often issi pates their strength whom rougher opposition fortifies , and puts the dispised and oppressed party into such combinations , as may most enable them to get a full revenge on those they count their persecutors , &c. . consider , if ye force worship , and religion , and cause men to conform against their judgements , how dangerous is this to destroy mens souls , and to lead them even to destruction ; for seeing ye affirm not the infalibility of your worship and religion , and yet will impose them , and so engage mens souls in dependancy for salvation upon things and waies uncertain , and which god gives not the faith to believe in ; i say how dangerous is this to ruin souls ; for in no way can the soul be secure but in the faith which god works in the heart , in the obedience of infallible truth ; so ye run mens souls upon a rock , and it is unreasonable as before mentioned , that men should be forced into the profession and practice of uncertain and fallible religion , and that they should be forced by you into that which may be evil , for which not you altogether , but themselves must bear the punishment in the day of the lord ; and except ye could affirm and prove the infalibility of your church ( which is impossible ) there is no equity nor right reason for it , that you should impose upon others any more then others should impose upon you ; for as king charles the i. said in his medit. he desired not any should be further subject unto him , then he and all of them might be subject unto god , &c. . consider , if ye alow not liberty of conscience , but persecute about the same , ye walk in the way and after the example of some of the heathen rulers , and of the false christians , and shews that ye allow of the cruel persecutions by the church of rome , and ye follow their example , who persecutes unto death such as they call hereticks , and if ye do persecute for matters of conscience , then ye allow the very deeds of the heathens , who persecuted the christians for their religion sake , and ye justifie the papists in persecuting the protestants ; and ye plainly demonstrate unto all the world by your works and fruits , that ye are of antichrist , if ye impose on mens consciences by force in the matters of religion , and persecute good conscience about the same ; for it was the antichrist and the beast , that first forced all to worship , and violently engaged all into a conformity , and killed and persecuted all that would not worship according to the image , rev. . as ye may read . and it was not christs way , nor the practice of any his primitive churches to impose and force on the persons and consciences of men concerning their church and religion , to cause all into a conformity thereunto , and destroy and persecute all that would not ; this was not the way of christ and his apostles in their daies , but they left religion free , and said , they were not lords over mens faith , nor lords over gods heritage , neither did impose upon any in doubtful cases of conscience , much lesse compel against mens consciences ; for the apostle left the practice of doubtful things , as every one was perswaded in his own mind , to do or not to do , without imposing by force or directions of persecution about the same ; therefore if ye do not allow free liberty of conscience , ye are out of the doctrine and example of christ and his apostles , and follows the way and example of antichrist , heathen rulers , and cruel papists , to your great dishonour . . consider , if ye allow not liberty of conscience in the exercise of religion , but impose and persecute about the same ; it must inavoidable tend to destroy and expel trading , husbandry , and merchandize in these kingdomes , for a great part of trading and husbandry , depends upon such kind of persons , whose principles are for toleration in religion , and hates persecution and violence in that case , this ye will find true on examination ; and if liberty of conscience be not alowed , such will 〈◊〉 exposed to great afflictions , some to imprisonment , and some to poverty , and some to fly into other countries , to the destruction of their callings and trading , and the hands & industriousnes of such people will be weakned in these kingdomes , if they cannot enjoy their just liberties in temporal and spiritual cases , and the effects thereof will work wofully in this very respect , even to disenable both the hearts and hands of husbandmen and trades , and expose these nations to want and poverty , and to enrich their enemies . . consider , if liberty of conscience be denied , and persecution be introduced about the same ; all these and many more woful consequencies and effects wil follow infallably to the ruin of these kingdoms , even wars , and bloodsheds , and discontents , and murmurings , and all evil things will be the product of the aforesaid cause , ( viz. ) of denying liberty of conscience in religious matters , for in a word it will tend to and may effect the overthrow of you , and ruin your government and authority ; for the great and mighty god of heaven and earth will be provoked against you , and his wrath will go out like a devouring flame upon you , if that ye limit the holy one , and will not suffer him to exercise his proper right , in being king in mens consciences , to exercise them in all the waies of his worship , and matters of his kingdom , but do oppresse , impose and persecute about the same ; this i say will infallibly work the kingdoms ruin , and expose you and your government to the indignation of the holy lord god , who is tender of his honour , and will not give it to another , and he loveth and affecteth the cause of such , whose consciences are truly tender towards him , and though ye persecute such and seek to destroy them , and for a time exercise great afflictions and oppressions upon them , for the matters of their conscience , yet the god of heaven will appear for such in his season , and deliver them , and avenge their persecutors ; and therefore all ye rulers consider , and lay these things to heart , least ye provoke the lord against you , by destroying the people whom he regards , and that not for evil doing , but for the cases of conscience , and because they cannot relinquish their profession and principles of their religion , and bow and conform in things against their light and knowledge . . consider , if ye allow not liberty of conscience , what exceeding danger ye run your selves into , even to dest roy just men and righteous , as heriticks and erroneous , and may promote hereticks as church-members , both which are great abominations in the sight of god , and this danger ye bring upon your selves , for ye are not infallible judges , who are hereticks , and who are not ; and therefore may easily proceed in that way to punish such as hereticks that are not truly so , and except ye could affirm and prove your possession of the infallible spirit , ye can no way proceed justly and reasonably to deny liberty of conscience in the exercise of religion , nor punish and persecute any in that case ; but if ye do , ye do it in ignorance , and knows not what ye do , and may as soon destroy true christians and saints , as hereticks , for want of infallible judgment to discern who are , and who are not ; and this is a danger ye ought to avoid by allowing the free exercise of conscience , as the lord perswades every mans heart . . and lastly also consider what a reproach you are under , if such whom ye call hereticks , ( and yet doth not infallibly know that they are such ) be punished , and persecuted , and destroyed for their religion sake , who are just and upright men , in their conversing between man and man , and unreprovable in their dealings among men ; ( whether they erre in judgment in spiritual knowledge , or not erre ) and such as are drunkards and prophane persons go at liberty , in their stage-playing and gaming , and the like , even tolerated , and unpunished , and not prohibited , whom all do know & can distinguish who such are when they appear , this will render your government to evil reputation , both in this present time and in ages to come ; and therefore consider it , if drunkards , gamesters , and prophane persons have more toleration and liberty in their wayes of open vanity , then sober temperate persons in the exercise of their consciences in religion , which if any such do erre in principle ( which is not infallibly known to you ) it is onely to their own hurt in the sight of god , and he onely and not you ought to punish them in that case ; but prophane persons as afore-mentioned are easily judged by all to be such , and their errour in practise is hurtful to the whole kingdoms and pertains to you to punish ; as dr. taylor now a bishop in ireland hath said , his words in this case are worth observing , why are we so zealous , saith he , against those we call hereticks , and yet great friends with drunkards , and swearers , and fornicators , and intemperate and idle persons ; i am certain a drunkard is as contrary to god , and lives as contrary to the laws of christianity as a heretick , and i am also sure that i know what drunkennesse is , but i am not sure that such an opinion is heresie , &c. and these things i do in all meeknesse and due respect both to your places and persons , present to your serious considerations , that ye may prevent these evil effects that are so destructive unto you and these kingdoms , which absolutely must follow , upon not allowing free liberty of conscience in the exercise of religion ; and if any shall object , that to tolerate and allow liberty of conscience in religion is inconsistent with the safety and peace of the king and these kingdoms ; i shall be desirous to hear from wise men what such objections are , stated by them , and wherein they say it is not congruous with the happinesse and peace of these nations , to grant and allow the premises ; and on such occasion , i should make clearly to appear the contrary , and that it is only consistant with the peace and prosperity of these kingdoms ( considering them in their present estate ) to grant and allow free liberty of conscience as aforesaid , in the exercise of religion unto all christian people . o! remember ye mighty men of the kingdom , that the great and mighty god takes notice of all your doings , and accordingly will he reward you in his dreadful day , which is near to come upon all the world ; and wo unto the wicked in that day . o! remember that ye your selves not long since were a suffering people , and now you are raised up again ; and therefore be not too zealous to afflict others , especially for the cases of their consciences , in reference to their faith and perswasions about religion ; but be gentle , meek , and long-suffering towards all , for that is the way to make peace and preserve it with all men , that will gain the affections of the contrary minded ; but force and rigour will exasperate the more , and never truly reconcile differences among men ; and make no laws contrary or different to the pure law of god , but let pure conscience go free without force or restraint in the exercises of religion , and let god have his prerogative , and lordship , in the exercise of conscience ; but let your authority be extended over the outward man , in the matters between man and man , to preserve peace and right in all outward relation ; and be wise and learned ye rulers of the earth , and kisse the son least he be angry and ye perish , and if his wrath be kindled but a little , blessed are they that trust in him . this is your time and day , happy are ye , if it be given to you to do the work that god requires of you only . the th . of the third month , . the end . by the king, a proclamation for the due observation of certain statutes made for the suppressing of rogues, vagabonds, beggers, and other idle disorderly persons and for relief of the poore. england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page images. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng vagrancy -- england. begging -- england. great britain -- history -- charles ii, - . - tcp assigned for keying and markup - spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images - mona logarbo sampled and proofread - mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion cr diev·et mon·droit honi·soit·qvi·mal·y·pense· royal blazon or coat of arms by the king. a proclamation , for the due observation of certain statutes made for the suppressing of rogues , vagabonds , beggers , and other idle disorderly persons , and for relief of the poore . charles r. the kings most excellent majesty being watchful for the publick good of his loving subjects , and taking notice of the great and unusual resort of rogues , uagabonds , beggers , and other idle persons of all ages and sexes , from all parts of the nation to the cities of london and westminster and the suburbs of the same , where they make it their trade to beg and live idlely , and to get their living by begging , stealing , and other wicked and lewd practises , to the great offence of almighty god , and to the dishonour of his majesties royal government ; and his majesty taking it into his princely consideration , that this realm is furnished with excellent laws and orders for redress of such enormities , yet through negligence of officers , and presumption of the offenders , the same nevertheless do rather grow then abate . his majesty hath therefore thought fit at this present by advice of his privy councel , to cause some necessary laws formerly made for the reforming the abuses aforesaid , to be duely executed and observed . and for that end , whereas by the laws of this land all uagabonds , beggers , and idle persons are to be sent to the place of their birth , or of their last abode , there to be relieved and kept if they be impotent , or otherwise made to labour : his majestie doth by this proclamation publish and declare his royal pleasure and commands , that all such uagabonds , beggers and idle persons within the cities of london and westminster and the suburbs of the same , which by law are not there to be provided for ( to the wrong of the native poor , and a burden to the several parishes where now they are ) but that they forthwith at their perils depart from the same and speédily resort to the place of their birth or last abode , that they may be there provided for as they ought to be . and if any such uagabonds , beggers , or idle persons shall or may be found within the cities of london and westminster , or in any of the suburbs or precincts of the same , or in the borough of southwark , or in any town near adjoyning , upon the four and twentieth day of this moneth of may , his majesty streightly chargeth and commandeth , as well the lord mayor , recorder , aldermen and sheriffs of the said city of london , and all other officers of the said city , and all other his majesties iustices of the peace , magistrates and officers whatsoever within the city of westminster , borough of southwark , or within the county of middlesex , to cause all such persons to be apprehended , and openly whipped , and sent away ( except such as are willing to go to the english plantations ) and that in all things they do speédily execute , and cause to be put in execution the statute made in the thirty ninth yeare of queéne elizabeth chap. the th concerning the punishment of rogues and uagabonds : and to the end that all such persons may not only be setled and kept from wandring , but also made to labour and so kept from idleness , his majesty doth streightly charge and command all and singular sheriffs , iustices of the peace , and other officers and ministers in the several counties of this realm , and all mayors , sheriffs , bayliffs , aldermen and other magistrates , officers and ministers of all other cities and towns corporate , that they and every of them within their several limits and iurisdictions respectively do carefully and diligently put in due and speedy execution the same statute of the thirty ninth of elizabeth , chapter the fourth , both for erecting houses of correction , and for punishing such uagabonds and idle persons ; as also the statutes of the . jacob. chap. . made for the explanation of the said statute made in the seventh year of king james chapter fourth , for the ordering such houses of correction . and to the end that not onely sturdy rogues and uagabonds may be duely kept from wandering and idleness , and held to labour , but that also poor and fatherless children and widows , the aged and impotent may be also carefully provided for and relieved , and not permitted to wander and lie in the streets begging from door to door ; it is his majesties express charge and command to all mayors , sheriffs , bayliffs , iustices of the peace , magistrates , officers and ministers in the several counties of this realm , and in all cities and towns corporate , that they diligently and carefully put in execution that excellent statute made in the fourty third year of elizabeth , chapter the second , concerning the overseérs of the poor , and their duty for raising a stock for maintenance of the poor , and for binding forth children apprentices , which his majesty commends in an especial manner to their care : their neglecting this so great a work , in not carefully providing for poor fatherless children and infants for their teaching and instructing them , and for fitting them for trades and services , and in not binding them forth apprentices ; all which neglect is a great cause of poor childrens idleness , wandring , and wickedness in the whole course of their lives ; and to the end that convenient stocks may be raised in all parishes , especially for the ends aforesaid , his majesty requireth the several overseérs of the poor to be diligent in raising such stocks according to the power given them . and also his majesty requireth all mayors , bayliffs , iustices of the peace , magistrates and other officers aforesaid , to be careful in putting in speedy and due execution all the statutes concerning tipling and drunkenness , and concerning unlawful or irregular inns or alehouses , and all other statutes , the penalties whereof are disposed to the use of the poor of the several parishes ;

which being done , they did declare against all manner of treaty with the person of our royal father , even then when a treaty by advice of both houses of parliament was in being , and did remonstrate against the houses of parliament for such proceedings , and seiz'd upon the person of our royal father , while the commissioners were returned to the houses of parliament with his answer ; and when his concessions had been voted a ground for peace , seize upon the house of commons , seclude and imprison some members , force out others , and there being left but a small remnant of their own creatures ( not a tenth part of the whole ) did seek to shelter themselves by this weak pretence , under the name and authority of a parliament , and in that name laboured to prosecute what was yet behind , and unfinished of their long intended treason and conspiracy : to that purpose they prepared an ordinance for creating a prodigious and unheared of tribunal , which they called , an high court of justice , for trial of his majesty , our most dear father ; and having easily procured it to pass their house of commons , as it then stood moulded , ventured to send it up from thence to the peers , then sitting , who totally rejected it ; whereupon their rage and fury increasing , they presumed ●o pass it alone as an act of the commons , and in the name of the commons of england ; and having gained the pretence of 〈…〉 by the power of their 〈◊〉 making , pursued it with all possible force and cruelty , until at last upon the thirtieth day of january , 〈◊〉 thousand six hundred fourty and eight , his sacred majesty , our late dear father , was brought unto a scaffold , and there publickly murthered before the gates of his own royal place . and because by this horrid action , the protestant religion hath received the greatest wound and reproach , and the people of england , the most insupportable shame and infamy that it is possible for the enemies of god and the king to bring upon them , whilst the fanatick rage of a few miscreants ( who were as far from being true protestants , as they were from being true subjects ) stands impured by our adversaries to the whole nation . they the said lords and commons in parliament assembled , did therefore renounce , abominate , and protest against that impious fact , the execrable murther and unparallel'd treason committed against the sacred person and life of our most royal father , and did beseech vs that it might be declared ;

and it is thereby enacted , that every thirtieth day of january ( unless it should fall out to be on the lords day , and then the next day following ) should be for ever thereafter set apart to be kept and observed in all our churches and chapels of our kingdoms of england and ireland , dominion of wales , and town of berwick upon tweed , and the isles of 〈◊〉 and ●●●nsey , and all other our dominions , as an anniversary day of fasting and humiliation , to implore the mercy of god 〈◊〉 next or the guilt of that sacred and innocent blood , nor those other sins by which god was provoked to deliver in both them and their king into the hands of cruel and unreasonable men , might at any time after be visited upon them or their posterity , as by the said act amongst other things at large appeareth . we being very sensible of the pious and good intentions of our said 〈◊〉 and loyal subjects ;

it will become vs all , in our several stations , to acknowledge this transcendent goodness of almighty god , in so seasonable a conjuncture , with such a circumspection , integrity , and reformation in our lives , that we may not drive away that mercy which so near approacheth vs , by making our selves ( wholly ) unworthy of it . and in order hereunto , we think it high time to shew our dislike of those ( against whom we have been ever enough offended , though we could not , in this manner declare it ) who , under pretence of affection to vs and our service , assume to themselves the liberty of reviling , threatning and reproaching others ; and as much as in them lies , endeavor to stifle and divert their good inclinations to our service , and so to prevent that reconciliation and vnion of hearts and affections , which can only , with gods blessing , make vs rejoyce in each other , and keep our enemies from rejoycing . there are likewise another sort of men , of whom we have heard much , and are sufficiently ashamed , who spend their time in taverns , tipling-houses , and debauches , giving no other evidence of their affection to vs , but in drinking our health , and inveighing , against all others , who are not of their own dissolute temper ; and who , in truth , have more discredited our cause , by the licence of their manners and lives , then they could ever advance it by their affection or courage . we hope that this extraordinary way of delivering vs all , from all we feared , and almost bringing vs to all we can reasonably hope , hath and will work upon the hearts , even of these men to that degree , that they will cordially renounce all that licenciousness , prophaneness , and impiety , with which they have been corrupted and endeavored to corrupt others , and that they will , hereafter , become examples of sobriety and virtue , and make it appear , that what is past , was rather the vice of the time , then of the persons , and so the sitter to be forgotten together . and , because the fear of punishment , or apprehension of our displeasure , may have influence upon many , who will not be restrained by the conscience of their duty , we do declare , that we will not exercise just severity against any malefactors , sooner , then against men of dissolute , debauch'd , and prophane lives , with what parts soever they may be otherwise qualified and endowed ; and , we hope , that all persons of honor , or in place and authority , will , so far assist vs , in discountenancing such men , that their discretion and shame will perswade them to reform what their conscience would not , and that the displeasure of good men towards them , may supply what the laws have not ; and , it may be , cannot well provide against , there being by the licence and corruption of the times , and the depraved nature of men , many enormities , scandals , and impieties , in practise and manners , which laws cannot well describe , and consequently not enough provide against , which may by the example and severity of vertuous men , be easily discountenanced , and by degrees suppressed . however , for the more effectual reforming these men , who are a discredit to the nation , and unto any cause they pretend to favor , and to wish well to ; we require all majors , sheriffs , and iustices of peace , to be very vigilant and strict in the discovery and prosecution of all dissolute and prophane persons , and such as blaspheme the name of god , by prophane swearing and cursing , or revile or disturbe ministers , and despise the publick worship of god ; that being first bound to the good behavior , they may be further proceeded against , and exposed to shame , in such a manner , as the laws of the land , and the just and necessary rules of government shall direct or permit . given at our court at whitehal , the thirtieth day of may , in the twelfth year of our reign . london , printed by christopher barker and john bill , printers to the kings most excellent majesty . . a letter from his maty. king charls iid. to his peers the lords in england. directed to our right trusty and right well-beloved cosens the peerage of our kingdom of england. charles ii, king of england, - . this text is an enriched version of the tcp digital transcription a of text r in the english short title catalog (thomason .f.

( after the rash rejection of our glorified fathers prophetique admonitions ) feel the fruits of their follies to become their own ruine , beyond their wisdom and power to redeem . how often we have visited them with meeknesse and clemency in our messages and invitations from the courts of princes , whom , ( for their onely sakes , our predecessors have made their enemies ) even when their offered powers would have enabled us to correct our most rigid rebels , cannot by us ( without regret for such enforcements ) be remembred ; nor are our subjects themselves without a sad sense of this , who , following their ambitious and avaritions blinde conductors , are fallen into laberinths of enmities with those princes , whereout their deepest subtleties cannot bring them . happily by your instructions they may learn the truth of this from their inconstant similitude the seas , wch for many hundred of years , have by the wisdom of our ancestors their princes , embraced them as their dearest friends , as well conveighing them with their merchandize to the utmost parts of the world , as also returning them with such fraights , as have made their ware-houses the magazines of other countries , whereas at present ( though they be the chief proprietors of the worlds food and cloathing , and navigation ) even those seas , for want of a lawful soveraignty , deny them further tutelage ; the ports of their antient allyes refuse them trade or harbourage ; and england which sate as a virgin queen upon the waters , is deflored , ravished , and carried captive into their ports who formerly thought no wealth too pretious to woe her . we say we look upon your lordships shining as tapors to our blinded subjects , and as light-houses to their unpiloted rovings , which office we consider to be to you also a dignity , formerly belonging to the lamps of the church , though now they are under a bushel ; as for the giddy multitude we pitty them with that christian proverb , eheu quam honeste miserii erant , for by imitateing their superiors they think they do well . when we behold the robes of some mens consciences , who visit us in corporal rags ( the best purchases their loyalty can make ) we rest assured , that you who have this worlds wealth and not the priviledge to use it , cannot enchain your noble souls to such slavery ; nor is it our desire to invite you to violence , but the peace which we wish to your bodies and souls , we equally present in our daily prayers for you , together with the meanest of our subjects , and seeing your christianity commands your brotherly love even to your most inferiour nighbours , you cannot better testifie the same , then by your example to bring them into the way of truth , which they shall never find in the paths of rebellion . again we call upon you our peers , who cannot be unsensible that the streams of your own honour must necessarily faile , when the fountain which should feed them is diverted ; we advise you to learn of the hebrews , who after that absence of their king david ( more then seven times doubled by our sufferings ) grew to contention for bringing home their persecuted prince . nor are the opportunities difficult to your performance , there having been , in these many years of our pilgrimage , divers assemblings of our subjects , which still continuing , you may , if you please , impart unto them such provident instructions , as may return them to their antient duty and future welfare , the after fruits whereof none of you need to doubt ; if you reflect upon the felicities which all your ancestors have enjoyed under the raigns of our predecessors ; the inferiour sort having alwayes before them that formidable affrightment of present beggary and continued want of trade , so long as they ●hall persist in disobedience to theirs and your injured and oppressed soveraign . march . . c. r. printed for charls gustavus , in the year , . by the king. a proclamation for taking away any restraint for the future on the price of coals. england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ; oxford (uk) : - (eebo-tcp phase ). b wing c a estc r ocm this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons . universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

so likewise his divine majesty hath been pleased to add a further trophie of conquest to his servants in scotland ; and to make them instrumental of breaking the host and power of his enemies . for on the of this instant , we fell upon the scots now levies in the west , and after a sharp dispute , gave them a great defeat , killed about on the place , and took divers prisoners . yet notwithstanding , we hear that the marquess of argyle is raising forces , and so are divers shires in the west , and in the north . a good force , and a good councel might do well to reduce and settle this land . as for their king , no man can tell what 's become of him : so that its probable , his former demonstrations will now produce a verification ; for upon his advance for england , he sent a letter to the gentry of cumberland , and westmerland ; intimating , that he had left scotland , with a resolution never to return thither any more ; and had cast himself upon his good subjects of england ; leaving the event and success thereof to god . this week we received an express from the low countries , containing occurrences of very great consequence , printed at the hague in holland ; a copy whereof followeth : the king of scots grows every day more formidable th●n other , and marched without opposition , in great hast toward his chief city of london , being within a dayes march of it with four score thousand horse and foot . this great news hath since been confirmed from ter-veer in zealand , brought thither by an expres● sent by the said king to his sister the princess of orange : with this addition , that on thursday the of august , at ten of the clock in the forenoon , the said king had made his triumphant intrado into london , whose he was received with the greatest acclamation that possibly could be expressed : as also that two ships were arrived at roterdam with parliament-men flying to save their lives . the english at the spa , and other places in holland , have lately had a day of jubilee ; and to ratifie the truth of their frantique-joy , gave out , that the king of scots had a more formidable power in england then ever his father had ; that he increased like a snow ball in his march ( but i am certain he dissolved as fast in his retreat ) and that the citizens in most places set open their gates . from ireland , we he●r that limerick is even upon their knees : gladly would they accept of the first offers of my lord deputy ; for they have many division among themselves which will necessitate them to a surrender : on the of august they made a sally upon our guards with foot , and horse : we had a dispute with them for an hour , killed of them above , and wounded many : we have slain , and wounded : clare castle is blockt up , and galloway much straightned . the lord still direct and protect the parliament and council of state ; and give the godly in the land eyes to see , and hearts seriously to consider what dreadful dangers , and grievous inconveniencies they have run themselves into , by refusing to own , and be faithfull unto those whom god in much mercy hath set in authority over us , and under whose authority we may ( if we will ) lead a godly and peaceable life . from holland it is certified as followeth , sir , when captain beck was at rotterdam with his ship , the vice-admirall of holland was ready to come to sea , but where it could not be told , nor at that present understood . there were two french ships that did come in thither for convoy for france , and they had two convoyes granted them : and some of our friends there heard some discourse between the french and hollanders , to this p●rpose : the french men did say , that there was a parliament dog in the harbour meaning cap : becks ship ) : the dutch men answered , that they would hoyst him in if they should meet him at sea : cap : beck was forc●d to come with his convoy hither , and left them at the brill . from the west-indies we hear that the lord willoug●by seems to have an inclination for the surrender of that place . yarmouth septemb. ● by letters from portsmouth we have received an account of the prosperous success of the good ship called the tyger : a copy whereof followeth : sir , these are to acquaint you , that god by his good grace and hand of providence , hath brought us out of the straights in safety , unto the port of portsmouth , with the angel captain rand , and the bonadventure captain hoxton , and one merchants ship in convoy , laden with currants and silk : and likewise at the bay of bulls at my going into cales , i had intelligence of a frigot there riding , which came from france laden with linnen cloth , the which i did surprise : all her cloth being delivered , i found in her about dollars of pieces of eight , spanish moneys : besides a good quantity of bars of silver , and some barrels of cochenel ; and bills of lading assigned for st. mallows and ross in france : which moneyes , and the silver , i have on board the tyger , and as for the frigot , she hath ten pieces of ordnance in her . a letter from the governour of stafford to the lord generall cromwel , came as followeth : may it please your excellency , we have purposely sent up the bearer hereof to give you an account of the persons both english and scots with us here in the garison , with the names and conditions of them , amongst whom is colonel blague , formerly governour of wallingford , whom amongst others , as they passed through this country , was taken by this bearer & brought hither : also the lord of cleveland , maj. galbreth , with many other officers , gentlemen , and common souldiers , above three hundred . your excellencies most humble servant , h. danvers . my lord , your lordships letter by creswel is so nobly kind , friendly , and so wise councel , as it is too big for my pen , ink , and paper , only it hath made me all over thankfulness , and that is as much as i can either say or do . for my estate they are now selling of it , it is against all the old tenents that i should be a traytor & rebel , and all my estate confiscate , and i to be hanged without mercy . my lady oneal and my self sitting in councel , like provident parents , agreed upon a match between my son harry and her daughter , and gravely articled , bought peny worth of ribond for the wooing the old lady a lean chickin in a pipkin for the dinner , with three preserved cheries , and drops of syrup by them for the banquet , &c. with other particulars of a very strange nature , dated from antwerp . and subscribed , w. newcastle . from the ancient and famous town of bilbo , by letters to severall london marchants , it is certified , that there hath hapned a great inundation of waters ; an exact copy followeth : sir , on the of this instant aug. here hapned an accidence of very amazing consequence , & as sad an inundation as hath befel in any part of europe these many years ; the manner thus : it rained by fits almost hours together , and very great were the showers ; so that at the last , there came powring down the mountains such a torrent of waters , that in hours time the water was foot high in our houses : insomuch that most of the goods in cellars & warehouses were utterly spoiled : the stream was of such a force , that it bare down many strong houses , and level'd them with the ground ; & had it not bin for the great church at the end of the bridg which did break the impetuosity of the fall , it had undoubtedly swept away the whole town . it has drown'd all our mules , hogs , sheep , and other cattel , fill'd our iron mines , over-turned our mills , carryed away all our stores of charcoal , broke down our wharf , that there is no sign of it left , carryed away all our ships , barks , and ligh●ers into the sea , dismantled whole woods , that there is not so much as a shrub left , undermined the very graves , so as to give forth their dead , beat down the fowls in the air , yet hath not destroyed many persons that we can hear of . this place is totally undone , and of the sweetest place in spain , is now become the noysomst in the world : we all gave our selves up for dead men , for we had no visible refuge : the lord give us hearts to be living monuments of his praise . it is to be observed , that this hapned on a day dedicated to a great romish-supersticious procession ; but now the images and altars in the churches are all demolished by the waters . finis . a proclamation for the well-ordering the making of white-starch within this realm, and for restraint of the importation thereof from foreign parts england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page images. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

nor do we desire more to enjoy what is ours , than that all our subjects may enjoy what by law is theirs , by a full and entire administration of iustice throughout the land , and by extending our mercy where it is wanting and deserved . and to the end that the fear of punishment may not engage any conscious to themselves of what is past , to a perseverance in guilt for the future , by opposing the quiet and happinesse of their country , in the restoration both of king , peers and people , to their just ancient and fundamental rights : we do by these presents declare , that we do grant a full and generall pardon , which we are ready to pass under our great seal of england , to all our subjects of what degree or quality soever , who within fourty dayes after the publication hereof shall lay hold upon this our grace and favour , and shall by any publick act declare their doing so ; and that they return to the loyalty and obedience of good subjects , excepting only such persons as shall hereafter be excepted by parliament , those only excepted . let our subjects how faulty soever , relye upon the word of a king , solemnly given by this present declaration , that no crime what soever committed against us or our royal father before the publication of this , shall ever rise in judgment , or be brought in question against any of them , to the least indamagment , either in their lives , liberties or estates , or ( as far forth lies in our power ) so much as to the prejudice of their reputations , by any reproach or term of distinction from the rest of our best subjects . we desiring and ordaining , that hence forward all notes of discord , separation and difference of parties , be utterly abolished among all our subjects , whom we invite and conjure to a perfect vnion among themselves under our protection , for the resettlement of our just rights and theirs in a free parliament ; by which upon the word of a king we will be advised . and because the passion and uncharitablnesse of the times have produced several opinions in religion , by which men are engaged in parties and animosities against each other , which when they shall hereafter unite in a freedom of conversation will be composed or better understood : we do declare a liberty to tender consciences , and that no man shall be disquieted or called in question for differences of opinion in matters of religion , which do not disturb the peace of the kingdom ; and that we shall be ready to consent to such an act of parliament , as upon mature deliberation shall be offered to us for the full granting that indulgence : and because in the continued distractions of so many years , and so many great revolutions , many grants and purchases of estates have béen made to and by many officers and soldiers , and others , who are now possessed of the same , and who may be liable to actions at law upon several titles , we are likewise willing that all such differences , & all things relating to such grants , sales and purchases shall be determined in parliament , which can best provide for the just satisfaction of all men who are concerned . and we , do further declare , that we will be ready to consent to any act or acts of parliament to the purposes aforesaid , and for the full satisfaction of all arrears due to the officers and souldiers of the army , under the command of general monck : and that they shall be received into our service upon as good pay and conditions as they now enjoy . given under our sign manuel and privy signet at our court at breda this fourtéenth day of april , . in the twelveth year of our reign . received the first of may , . charles r. trusty and wel-beloved , we greet you well : it cannot be believed but that we have been , are , and ever must be , as solicitous as we can , by all endeavours , to improve the affections of our good subjects at home , and to procure the assistance of our friends and allyes abroad , for the recovery of that right , which by the laws of god and man , is unquestionable ; and of which we have been so long dis-possessed by such force , and with those circumstances , as we do not desire to agravate by any sharp expressions , but rather wish , that the memory of what is passed , may be buried to the world . that we have more endeavoured to prepare , and to improve the affections of our subjects at home , for our restoration , then to procure assistance from abroad , to invade either of our kingdoms , is as manifest to the world : and we cannot give a better evidence that we are still of the same minde , then in this conjuncture , when common reason must satisfie all men , that we cannot be without assistance from abroad , we choose rather to send to you , who have it in your own power , to prevent that ruine and desolation which a war would bring upon the nation , and to make the whole kingdom owe the peace , happiness , security and glory it shall enjoy , to your vertue ; and to acknowledge that your armies have complyed with their obligations , for which they were first raised , for the preservation of the protestant religion , the honour and dignity of the king , the priviledges of parliament , the liberty and property of the subject , and the fundamental laws of the land ; and that you have vindicated that trust , which others most perfidiously abused and betrayed : how much we desire and resolve to contribute to those good ends , will appear to you by our enclosed declaration , which we desire you to cause to be published for the information and satisfaction of all good subjects , who do not desire a further effusion of precious christian blood , but to have their peace and security founded upon that which can only support it ; an unity of affections amongst our selves , an equal administration of justice to men , restoring parliaments to a ful capacity of providing for all that is amiss , and the laws of the land to their due veneration . you have been your selves witnesses of so many revolutions , and have had so much experience , how far any power and authority that is onely assumed by passion and appetite , and not supported by justice , is from providing for the happinesse and peace of the people , or from receiving any obedience from them without which no government can provide for them , that you may very reasonably believe , that god hath not been well pleased with the attempts that have been made , since he hath usually encreased the confusion , by giving all the successe that hath been desired , and brought that to passe without effect , which the designers have proposed , as the best means to settle and compose the nation ; and therefore we cannot but hope and believe , that you will concur with us in the remedy we have applyed , which , to humane understanding , is only proper for the ills we all groan under ; and that you will make your selves the blessed instruments to bring this blessing of peace and reconciliation upon king and people , it being the usual method in which divine providence delighteth it self , to use and sanctifie those very means which ill men design , for the satisfaction of private and particualr ends and ambition , and other wicked purposes , to wholsome and publick ends , and to establish that good which is most contrary to the designers ; which is the greatest manifestation of gods peculiar kindness to a nation , that can be given in this world . how far we resolve to preserve your interests , and reward your services , we refer to our declaration ; and we hope god will inspire you to perform your duty to us , and to your native country , whose happiness cannot be separated from each other . wee have entrusted our welbeloved servant , sir iohn greenvile , one of the gentlemen of our bed-chamber , to deliver this unto you , and to give us an accompt of your reception of it , and to desire you in our name , that it may be published . and so we bid you farewell . given at our court at breda , this / of april , . in the twelfth year of our reign . received the first of may , . to our trusty and welbeloved general monck , to be by him communicated to the president and council of state , and to the officers of the armies under his command . edinbvrgh , re-printed by christopher higgins in harts close over against the trone-church , . by the king. a proclamation for recalling and prohibiting sea-men from the services of forraign princes and states england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

r. h. yes , it is manifest , and we have seen it by experience ; and it is so common amongst men to swear and engage either for or against things , that there is no regard taken to them , nor fear of an oath , that therefore which we speak of in the truth of our hearts , is more than what they swear . king . but can you not promise as before the lord ( which is the substance of the oath ) r. h. yes , what we do affirm , we can promise before the lord , and take him to our witness in it , but our so promising hath not been accepted , but the ceremony of an oath they have stood for , without which all other things were accounted of no effect . king . but how may we know from your words , that you will perform ? r. h. by proving of us ; for they that swear are not known to be faithfull but by proving of them ; and so we b● those that have tryed us , are found to be truer in our promises than ●thers by their oathes , and to those that do yet p●ove u● , we shall appear the same . king . pray what is your principle ? r. h. o●● principle is this , that jesus christ is the true light which enlightneth every one that cometh into the wo●ld ▪ that all men through him might believe ; and that th●y were to obey and follow this light , as they have received it , whereby they ma● be led unto god , and unto righ●●o●sn●sse . and the knowl●dge of the truth , that they may be saved . king . this do all christians confess to be truth , and he is not a christian that will deny it . r. h. but many have denyed it , both in words & w●itings , and opposed us in it ▪ and above an h●ndred books are put forth in opposition unto this principle . that some of the lords standing by the king , said , that none would deny that every one is enlightned . lord . and one of the lords asked , how long we had been called quakers , or did we own that name ? r. h. that name was given to us in scorn and detision about twelve years since , but there was some that lived in this truth before we had that name given unto us . king . how long is it since you owned this judgement and way ? r.h. it is near twelve yeares since i owned this truth according to the manifestation of it . king . do you own the sacrament ? r.h. as for the word s●crame●t , i do not read of it in the scripture ; but a● for the body and blood of christ i own ; and that th●re is no remission without blood . king . well that is it ; but do you n●t beleeve that every one is ●ommanded to rec●ive it ? r. h. this we do beleive , ●hat according as it is writen in the scripture , that christ at his last supper took bread and brake it , and g●ve to his disciples ; and also took the cup and blessed it , and said unto them , and as often as ye do this ( that is , as often as they brake bread ) you shew forth the lo●ds death till he come ; and this we believe they did , and they eat their bread in singlenesse of heart from house to house : and christ did come again un●o them according to his promise , after which they said , we being many are one bread , for we are all partakers of this own bread . kings friend . then one of the kings friends said , it is true : for as m●ny grains make one bread , so they being many members were one body . another of them said , if they be the bread , then they must be broken . r. h. there is difference between that bread which he brake at his last supper , wherein they were to shew forth , as in a sign , his death untill he came : and this , whereof they speak , they being many , are one bread for herein they were come more into the substance , and to speak more mysticall , as they knew it in the spirit . kings friends . then they said , it is truth , and he had spoken ? nothing but truth . king . how know you that you are inspired by the lord ? r.h. according as we read in the scriptures , that the inspiration of the almighty giveth understanding , so by its inspiration is an understanding given us of the things of god . lord . then one of the lords said , how do you know that you are led by the true spirit ? r. . h. this we know , because the spirit of truth it rep●oves the world of sin , and by it we were reproved of sin , and also are led from sin unto righteousness and obedience of truth , by which effects we know it is the true spirit , for the spirit of the wicked one doth not lead unto such things . king and lords . then the king and his lords said , it was truth . king . well , of this you may be assured , that you shall none of you suffer for your opinions or religion , so long as you live peaceably , and you have the word of a king for it , and i have also given forth a declaration to the same purpose , that none shall wrong you nor abuse you . king . how do you own magistrates or magistracy ? r.h. thus we do own magistrates , whosoever is set up by god , whether king as supream , or any set in authority by him , who are for the punishment of evil doers , and the praise of them that do well ; such we shall submit unto , and assist in righteous and civill things both by body and estate : and if any magistrates do that which is unrighteous , we must declare against it , onely submit under it by a patient suffering , and not rebell against any by insurrections , plots and contrivances . king then the king said , that is enough . lord . then on of the lords a●ked , why do you meet together , seeing every one of you have the church in your selves ? r. h. according as it is written in the scriptures the church is in god , thes. . . and they that feared the lord , did meet often together in the fear of the lord , and to us it is profitable , and herein we are edified and strengthned in the life of truth . king . how did you first come to beleive the scriptures were truth ? r. h. i have believed the scriptures from a child to be a declaration of truth , when i had but a literal knowledge , naturall education and tradition : but now i know the scriptures to be true , by the manifestation and operation of the spirit of god fulfilling them in me . king . in what manner do you meet , and what is the order in your meetings ? r· h. we do meet in the same order as the people of god did , waiting upon him : and if any have a word of exhortation from the lord , he may speak it , or if any have a word of reproof or admonition , and as every one hath received the gift , so they may minister one unto another , and may be edified one by another , whereby a growth in●o the knowledge of the truth is administred to one another . one of the lords . then you know not so much as you may know , but there is a growth then to be admitted of . r.h. yes we do grow dayly into the knowledge of the truth in our exercise and obedience to it . king . are any of your friends gone to rome ? r. h. yes , there is one in prison in rome . king . why did you send him thither ? r. h. we did not send him thither , but he found something upon his spirit from the lord , whereby he was called to go to declare against superstition and idolatry , which is contrary to the will of god . kings friend said , there were two of them at rome , but one was dead . king . have any of your friends been with the great turk ? r.h. some of our friends have been in that country . other things were spoken concerning the liberty of the servants of the lord , which were called of him into his service ; that to them there was no limitation to parishes or places , but as the lord did guide them in his work and service by his spirit . so the king promised that we should not any wayes suffer for our opinion or religion , and so in love passed away finis . by the king. a proclamation for the apprehending of james duke of monmouth, ford lord gray, sir thomas armestrong knight, and robert ferguson england and wales. sovereign ( - : charles ii) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ; oxford (uk) : - (eebo-tcp phase ). a wing c estc r this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons . universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.
