But tell me, Reader, if thou canst, where the Scriptures allow thee to take up Arms against thy lawful Sovereign, who is a meek and patient1 Moses, a tender hearted David; no Idolater, but a strict and careful maintainer of Gods true Religion, and such a one, whom his very adversaries acknowledge to be, The Defender of the true, ancient, Catholic and Apostolical faith. In whom Gods graces are so eminent, that though hellish spirits have and do daily foam out their malice against him, yet there is not one who hath or can tax him with unchastity, malice, pride, cruelty, profaneness, negligence of Gods service, or any other notorious vice; except his denial of giving away his birthright be a breach of his Royal duty, as the author of the Sovereign Antidote would fain persuade us to believe, without proof.2
