venly worke, to have exceeded both in weight, and glory, all that
Canonized Catalogue of Saints triumphant, which for good ufe, and ’

Forwhat malice is there yet remaining amongli His accurl'ed Ene-
mies, to- deny, that in Life, and Death, this King ran in the Paths, and
as neare as mortall Man could doe, to the example, and marke of
Jefus Chril'l the Authour and Finil'her of His Faith and sufferings .3“

How He was betrayed, and p'urfued is witnefled by and in the
yeares I 6 3 9. 4o. 41-. 42. 43. 44. and 45. How He fled from one finfulli:
Nation to another wicked People, is recorded to the living Infamy of
the ever Trayterous Scat: in the Year 46. How he was {old at a price
by the {aid accurfed Stats, to his cruel, and caufleITe Enemies the
Jewilh Englifly, is Regiltred in the Year 47. How he wasJ tofl'ed‘bee-
tween Herod the damned Independent, and ‘Pil‘ate the devilrlh Treré}-
terian; and between. them againe delivered up to the Tumults of the
laid accurfedlews to be Crucified ,is manifeficd in the Year 48.How he‘-
was Arraigned, Condemned, Buffeted, Spit upon,and Crucified by the
confpiring Skum of his owne Rebellious PeOple, not'onee opening a
mouthfull. of Revenge againl‘t them, is yet writtenaagainli' them in het-

this King of Righteous Deeds, Prophet of Peace, and Priel’r ; yea,‘

And becaufe Chril‘t Jel'us himfelfe would maintaine and authorize
this his Mighty, and mol’t Immortal! Embally, He did (confidering
the greatneil'e‘ of incredulity, and hardnel‘ie ofmenshearts) imprint
his owne Image upon” this blelTed King ; feeing that even his ‘haters
themfelves (though in other things found Lyers) in this point cannot
gain-fay that the mortall Faces (as by the Pit‘tures of Jefus Chrill,
and King C H A R LES the Martyr) are the moll- anfwerable
in refemblance of any two Faces that ever this world held or be-
held.

Between whom alfo even after death there is found fome likencfl'e ;
For there feemed to be a Divine encreafe of Blood in this King ; it be-
ing verily thought, :that lefle then a double quantity (in refpefi of the

(and as is likely,one of Confanguinity according to the flefh with Je.
{us Chrili) l‘tept boldly to Pilate, begg’d his body, and b-uryed it at his

Duke of Richmond and Lenox, next Prince of the Blood to the Royall

which ihould again have humbled thy glorified Meditations, by fetting

had there been power or hope to bring that Rogue to condigne punifla-

how eafily can we bind, and calf them into the fire; This was the will

Soveraigne; there was never more Duty, nor more Fillially eXpreil
fed then by the unparallelled Heire, - and mofl'Rightfull Succeifour of
His Majelly, our prefent King:- What cunning infinuations havebee-n
made to His Majefiy, when He was our Prince? and what invitati-
ons to an acceptance too early of His fuccefl'ivc Crowne, is notun-

known to fome : No more is it to be doubted with what Indignation

His Ma jelly rejeé'ted thofe bold offers ; Seeing he fiill rather defpifeth
His jult Inheritance, then to receive it with the Impunity of His
Royall Fathers Murtherers: Nor His Childhood , nor His youth

Not onely hath His Highnefle Perfonally. (asa true, and liberall Par.
taker of His Magnificent Fathers Courage) adventured Himfelfe (but
too near) in thofe feverall Battailes which have been, maintained

not of inferiour Magnitude HisHighneife hath adventured to get out

And yet further, to behold Gods wonderfull Might . who hath
