But in requital, it must be confessed, that your Clergy require the King to do their Persecuting Journey-work with the same Insolence as the Popish Priesthood use; For must not the Sovereign Monarch of _England_, _Scotland_, _France_ and _Ireland_, by his Authority Royal, execute the Decrees and Anathema's of the Arch-deacons and Bishops Chancellors, by Imprisoning his loyal and useful Subjects, for not conforming to their Ceremonies? If a King will submit to this Drudgery, he shall have the _vox Cleri_ of his side, and be as great as Noise and fulsom Flattery can make him; but in the mean time is really King but of one Moiety of his People, whilst the danger which the other half apprehend from the Secular Arm directed by Spiritual Power of Necessity, weaneth their Hearts from the Government. Thus _Charles_ the II. who for two Years after his Return, reigned in the Hearts of all his People, was by the Act of Uniformity reduced to be King of the Church-party; and at last, whilst the _Popish_ and _Protestant_ Priesthood zealously contended whose Property he should be, (like the Truth among Controversial Divines) he was lost in the Scuffle. He instanced in likewise the late King _James_, who (said he) had it in his power to be universally beloved and obey'd, beyond any King of _England_ this Age has produced. His Right to the Crown was owned by all; his Wilfulness had passed upon the Church of _England_ Party for Magnanimous Resolution, which struck such an Awe upon them, that they were coming to a Temper, and would have consented to a Toleration of Protestant Dissenters, and _Roman_ Catholicks too, provided their Maintenance might be continued to them. Thus the Heart of all _England_ had been set upon the King; but the Popish Priesthood would be content with nothing less than delivering the whole Nation to Satan, and their King must execute the dreadful Anathema, though 'twas manifest that he must thereby lessen himself to the size of one of the 7 Kings of _Kent_; for he could be Sovereign of no more than the Two hundredth part of the People. For King _Charles_ in numbering the People, had found that the Proportion between _Papist_ and _Protestant_ was as 1 to 200: whereas had his own Priesthood been so favourable to him, as to have excused him from executing that Satanical Power, which by a Right purely Divine was vested in Sacred Majesty, his Reign might have been happy, and his Memory precious. What an unhappy Effect had the Spirit of Father _Laud_ upon King _Charles_ the First? And what hath brought _Lewis_ the XIV. to the present Diminution of his Glory, but that haughty Insolence and unnatural Cruelty in Persecuting his own Subjects, which Father _la Chaise_ has inspired him with? What Figure will this Grand Monarch make in Story? His Name will pollute the Annals of this Age, and his cowardly Conquests be the Scorn of Posterity. Now from all that he had said, he concluded, that for Luck-sake, as well as to preserve his good Nature,
