A Quaere touching an English Monarchy, and a Low-Country
Free-State; which of them is the
Freest, and most to bee desired.
An English Monarchie,
Is a most Honorable free Government by an hereditary King ac∣cording
to the Lawes of the Kingdoms, supplyed only (without any
standing Army, Garrisons, Free-Quarter, Excise, or Monethly
Contributions, by a bare Ordinance of a few Commons) with a
Subsidy or two, in divers yeares, freely granted by the Laity and
Clergy in full Parliament by distinct Acts of Parliament.
A Low-Country Free-State,
Is an Ignoble Servitude under the Militarie Command of many
selfe-Created new States, erected and supported by the meere Power
of a standing Army, constant Garrisons, Citadels, accompanied
with perpetuall Monethly Contributions, Taxes, Excises and
Free-Quarter imposed on the Clergy & Laity by these new States
alone, without common consent or Act of Parliament, and aug∣mented
and disposed of at their owne Will and Pleasures.
Utrum horum mavis, accipe.
