Dr. Willets Observations on KING Iames his Counsell and advice to all his Subjects: according to their particu∣lar callings and Estates.

THe Nobility may learne not to thrall by oppression the meaner sort, that do dwell by them, nor to maintain their servants, and dependants in wrong, pag: 45.

2. Merchants are taught not to buy the worst wares, and sell them at the dearest rates, pag; 50.

4. Church governors to preserve Doctrine, and disci∣pline in purity according to Gods Word, Pag. 43.

5. Ministers and Preachers may receive information for their Calling. 1. not to vary from their Text. 2. not to meddle with Matters of State, Page 8 9. and 3. that their speech be not fairded with Artifice, &c. but to eschew all affected formes, Page 115. and 4. to use only Scripture for interpretation of Scripture if wee would bee sure, and ne∣ver 〈◊〉 from the analogie of Faith in expounding.

The Poscript.

THe Iewes returning from Captivitie did so wonder at their strange deliverances, that they seemed to be as men that Page  8 dreame. As strange a worke may it please God to worke for the Church of England if he please at this time; And though our divisions be not yet turned into peace, yet haue wee many yeares under our Gracious Soveraigne enjoyed both true Reli∣gion and Peace; and though there be now such great feares, and distempers in this Kingdome, under so godly, pious and Reli∣gious a Prince, who is even a pattern of true piety and love to all Princes of the World: yet let us not faint, oh let us pray▪ to God that as his Royall Majesty after his Royall Father King Iames, was setled in Peace; so this Kingdome may againe be reduced to that flourishing Peace, wherein under our gracious King it hath hitherto stood as before under his Royall Father the Lord grant that the glory of his own name may be advan∣ced, the Kings honour exalted, agreement between his Majestie and the Parliament concluded; the flourishing of the Church obtained; the peace of the Kingdome setled; and all divisions amongst us reconciled, Amen.
