AN useful and necessary Book for this Age; demonstrating, that Church-Preferments more powerfully govern their Actions, and Byass their Consciences, than the Precepts of our Saviour, or the Doctrine of the Apostles; or the Antient Fa­thers Canons, or Constitutions of this Church, subscribed and as­sented to by all the Dignitaries, Parsons, Vicars, and Curates, who have been Beneficed these two years last past.

A choice Treatise proving that the present Beneficed Church­men of England, concur not only with the Doctrine of Calvin, Knox, and all the late Fanaticks; but even with the Posit one ascribed [Page 2]to the most biggotted Papists, and Jesuits, in the Doctrine of Re­sisting, Deposing, and Murdering of Kings, when they conceive them to be Enemies to the Religion they profess, or not like to be so in­dulgent to them, as some Ambitious Usurpers pretend to be.

Writ by Dr. Burnt, to be sold in the Palace-Yard, Westminster.

An Elaborate Treatise, shewing that we being obliged by the Law of Nature to study Self-preservation, and taught by the Gospel, that he who provides not for his Family is worse than an Infidel. There­fore what-ever Oaths may prejudice us in either of these, are ipso facto void. And what-ever Oath shall be imposed, to capaciate us to live in a State of freedom from suffering, and enable us to live at ease, and augment our Estates are lawful, so long as they produce these effects, and no longer; for this Obedience is more [...]ptable to God, than to Sacrifice all our comfortable Importances, out of an obstinate Opinion, that preceding Oaths, contradictory to any new Ones enjoyned, are obligatory.

Together with an Appendix to prove that by the same Rule, by which we may dis-oblige our selves from Oaths of State, we may dissolve all private Contracts, when any present inconveniencies seem to attend them.

A Discourse worthy the perusal of all who have digested their former Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, and swallowed the New Ones of Allegiance and Fidelity; and the better to prepare them to take the Oath of Abjuraton; or any other which may be devised for the security of the Government.

Or, a Demonstration that a King who hath a well Officer'd and Pension'd Parliament, can never want what-ever Supplies he shall de­mand, and that none ever had the true Art of King-craft, who at­tained not to that persection, shewing that the Laws owning the King to have the Authority of making Peace or War, should be de­sicilin if: he had not full and sole Power to settle the same, which can [Page 3]never be done without a Ductile and Complying Parliament; and that there is no such effectual way to render them such, as by esta­blishing their absolute dependance upon him; whereby they may find their own account in Honour and Profit by serving him. Be­lides that, it is absurd, a King should be owned to be Head of the Church and State in the Politick Capacity, and want the like in­sluence, the Head, in the Natural Body, hath over the Members: Such an Head being but an empty Scull, fill'd with a pulp of Sladge instead of Brains, With a Corrolary proving that it is but a Fea­ther in such a King's Cap, and an empty Title to stile him Sovereign, who is not in reality so, over the Collective Representative of the People in Parliament, as well as over the Diffusive Body of them, in Citles and Villages.

A Treatise writ by the Prolecutor of that Order, to prove the necessity of a King's preserving that Hierarchy, rather than Presby­tery, according to the old Maxime, no Bishop, no King. With an Appendix deducing, by particular instances in all their Votes, how steadily the undepriv'd Bishops, scarce two excepted, persue the Directions transmitted from the Court, however directly opposite to their formerly avowed Principles, Preachings, and Practites: To which is added, by way of Advice, that the Honourable Mem­bers of the House of Commens, who chanced to be over-voted in the Bill for preventing Pensioners and Officers for the future, have a cane to shew their utmost Gratitude to the Right Reverends, who by their Dead Weight cast the Scales, and restated the Commons in a future Capacity to serve their Betters and themselves.

together with a serious Bersursive to all the people, who own them to be their Guides, and Heads of their Commonion, to sollow their Examples and not their Printed Books, which have declared their contrary Judgments, either before or since their being chosen into the Order.

Or, a seasonable Treatise, wherein is attempted to be prov'd; [Page 4]that Lords, ought to yield to Knights, Knights to Esquires, Es­quires to Gentlemen, Gentlemen to Yeomon, because they are more Numerous, and are sure to have the advantage at Club Law.

Together with some useful Admonitions, that smaller Numbers never contest with the greater for Privileges; but rather tamely submit to such as by their special Grace and Favour they will allow them.

With a Memento not to forget when the Supreme Authority Voted the Lord's House Useless and Dangerous.

To which is subjoin'd an Encomium of those Self dying Lords, who will rather choose to forego their Ancient Privileges, than obstruct Supplies, especially when they may go sharers in them.

As also a Premonition to several Honourable Commons to be pre­paring themselves against the next Session to repeal the Act for Annual Sessions and Trienaial Dissolutions of Parliaments, and particularly of this present one, lest they should loose the plentiful Perquisites, which Members of late super-anuuated Parliaments have been accustomed to enjoy, if the King shall be prevailed with to pass it.

Or, a Dialogue betwixt a Member of the Rump Parliament and the late Convention, proving that the same Principles, Laws, and Counsels, govern'd the late, which did the former; and that the late Revolution was established upon the very same Foundation; and that there neither are nor can be any Reasons or Arguments pro­duced, to maintain the one, which do not equally prove the lega­lity of the Proceedings of that black Parliament.

With a Transition to prove the absurdity of observing the Anni­versary, on the Thirtieth of January, unless we will own the Cha­racter given our Saviour of those who kill'd the Prophets, and built or beautified their Sepulchres.

And that instead of celebrating the Fifth of November, for the preservation of King James the First, his Royal Family, and the Two Houses of Parliament, from the Gun powder Treason; we should now observe it more religiously than ever, upon a new Ac­count, viz. for the arrival of the High and Mighty Prince, who forced from his Throne the Grandson of that King, for whose deli­verance the Anniversary hath been kept about 70 years: And that [Page 5]we ought to make a double Festival, by joining to it the Fourth of November, in memory of a Prince's Birth day, who hath so wonder, fully changed the Hereditary Monarchy of England to an Elective; and may, in time, either make the Government of these Realins, ex­quifitely conformable to that of the Seven Ʋnited Provinces, or reduce them to a conformity with his Rulenere.

Together with many solid Arguments to prove, that the Solem­nity of the Restauration of King Charles the Second, celebrated on the 29th of May, ought by Act of Parliament for ever to be abo­lished, and the 13th of February be substituted in its place; being the day of the Proclamation of a greater Deliverer of this Nation than that King ever was, by restoring us to the Happy Estate, our selves or Ancestors enjoyed under the Long-Parliament, and Oliver Lord Protector.

With a digression shewing how easily the Magistrates of Holland, Zealand, and the other Provinces were changed, or de Wisted, while the Mobb espoused the Interest of the Stadtholder: But now at Ter­gow, though the Stadtholder had power to banish the Magistrates, yet he had not the concurrence of the People, who gave all the marks possible of their affection to the old Magistrates.

Writ by James Godliman; dedicated to the late Duke of Schomberg; and printed by Watt Tyler at the Sign of John of Leyden.

A serious Discourse, demonstrating that the laying insupportable Taxes and Impositions upon the Subjects, and not providing for the security of Trade, is a sure way to bring a Country to such Poverty, [Page 6]that the House keepers will not be able to maintain their Sons, and Servants, nor Trade smart their Apprentices and Journey men where­by the young Men can have no means of subsistence, but by listing themselves to be Souldiers; So that the want of Bread at home, en­creaseth the Nurseries of War.

A brief Discourse, illustrating the latest method, to spirit Men to serve; by impressing them for Sea-service, which the Law allows, and lodging them more safely than honourably in the Tower of Lon­don, of Goals in the Country, and then telling them that they look not like Men acquainted with Sea-service, therefore, if they like it, they may be imployed for Land, under worthy Officers who will take great care, that they be well cloathed and paid, either for Ser­vice here, or in Flanders; and so allowing such [...], Plab­son's Choice, and having saltned a Shi [...]ing in their Fists, their Ser­vice is transferred from Sea to Land.

A Paradox, proving by that of Argument that it is a Master­piece of Policy, strequently to borrow great Summs from the Citizens of London, and to raise the Million of Money, by borrowing upon the Fund of 70000 l. out of the Excise; for that thereby 10000 Fa­milies are ingaged and fastned by their Purso strings to the Govern­ment.

Or, a necessary Caveat to all who are inclinable to lend Money on the Publick Faith, and especially on the Million-project; that before they part with their [...], they obtain an Act, not on­ly to per [...] this Parliament; but that no [...] Powers may repeal this Act; or that, since so many Ensurers are marched oh, that a Committee of Members be appointed to be Ensuters, at some­thing under Cent. per Cem, lest, such [...]calons Servants of the Govern­ment may want encouragement, or a succeeding Crowned Head, or a Supreme Power, may stand in as much need of the Fund, as this doth of the Advance Money.

Writ by the Treasurer of War, for the use of his Clerkes Sold by Naa­man Rob-Spitale, at the Sign of the Spunge.

A Treatise wherein is irrefragably proved, that in the Words Religion Liberty, and Property, there are more powerful Spells than ever were invented by the most famous Magicians of the Antients: By a Series of instantes showing, that within the compass of a Cen­tury and half of years, these three Words have slain near a Million of Men, Women, and Children, Great Monarchs have been Mur­ther'd, [Page 8]or dethron'd, Kingdoms C [...]tonized into Common-Wealths, or some parts of them have been dismembred from the rest; yet like the Delusion, the Devil is said to use to Witches, in seeming to bestow Feasts, Banquets, and immense Riches upon them, yet they are found still miserably poor. So after all the Arts used by those who know how rightly to apply these Words to put People (in Reality, wan­ting all these) into the murdering Frenzy and Fury, to secure them, they never yet produc'd the pretended, or desirable effect. But the generality of these Survi­vors have been at the upshot, more unsettled in their Religion, more enslav'd in their Liberties, and more endamaged in their Propereies than when the ambitious Magicians rais'd the Tempests by the Charms of such Words:

Writ by a learned Historiographer for the use of Associators, Agitators, and Covenanters. Printed by Ezekiel Firebrand at the Sign of the Crocadile.

Or a true Account of a Cure performed upon the 9th of January last, upon a Right Reverend old Prelate, who had so perfectly forgot a Message to him of very Publick Concern, and some remarkable Discourses upon it, that he retain'd no more Memory of it, than he did of what he had done when but Three years old, as he him­self affirm'd. Yet in the space of one hour, by the good Advice of a charitable Lady who had not a Doit for her pains, he was in a great measure restor'd to his Memory, and it's hop'd he will every day more and more recover the use of it.

To which is added by way of Supplement the Resolution of certain Queries, as 1, Whether a treacherous Memory be not not easilier cured than Treacheey in the Memory; Resolv'd in the Affirmative. 2. Whether in some Cases Forgetfulness be not more desirable than a Sharp Memory; the Question being grounded upon the famous Instances of some, who being cured of deprav'd Imaginations that they were Kings, or Emperors, have lamented all their Life after their being deprived of the Pleasure of that imaginary Greatness, they under that Lunacy enjoyed: Re­solv'd also in the Affirmative in certain Cases.

As. When the Restitution of Memory is damagable to any more noble Faculty of the Mind, as when it spoils the Will, or Vivacity, or Gaity of the Soul, and fills it with Horray, Affrightments, sense of Guilt, and Ʋneasiness: Which may hap­pen in many Cases when the Conscience is oritically tend. Upon which the Au­thor makes very learned Reflections, resolving the Question in general, that for Men in such Circumstances, who have no farther regard than to the Pleasures of this Life, they are in a more desirable Condition in the want of such a restor'd Memory.

But if they have regard to the Condition of their Immortal Souls, they had better have a perfect Memory of all things they ought to repent themselves of, and to work out their Salvation with Fear and Trembling, than to drop with Stupidity into the place appointed for them tho forget God, and want the Testimony of a good Conscience.

Writ for the Satisfaction of all those who have forgot their taking the Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance to the former Race of Kings, or that have been old Cavaliers, or received considerable Favours, or Riches from their Sovereigns. Done by Dr. P—ce, Chaplain to General Monk, and Author of the History of the Restoration of King Charles the II. and dedicated to all, who being yet li­ving, were instrumental in that Restitution, especially so the Earl of B—th and the Bishop of W—ter.
