The subject of supremacie. The right of Caesar. Resolution of conscience : Wherein are three questions handled: viz. 1. Whether the King without the Parliament may take up armes, and in the time of it fight with friends or foes, as having the law of armes in his owne power, and no law else? 2. Whether the Parliament without the King may take up armes to defend themselves, and kingdome, against delinquents, invaders, and forces raised in, or out of the kingdome? 3. Whether the people by command of either to assist the one, and resist the other be rebells? And may serve as a replication to the reply of Dr. Ferne, concerning free subjects; a faithfull councell, a royall King, and loyall people; placed by this author as slaves, a faction, a tyrant, rebells, in his ignorance of jurisdiction, legall, and naturall preservation.

The state of the greatest King, set forth in the greatness of Solomon, and the glory of his reign; viz. That Solomon's kingdom was the most pleasant, most flourishing, and best fortified Kingdom in the world; his People the most honourable and happy People that ever were subject to any earthly Prince; Jerusalem the most admirable City, and the Temple Built by Solomon (which is truly describ'd) the most wonderful House the World ever saw, the Expence laid out upon it amounting to a much greater Sum than all the Money in Europe can amount unto; and that neither the Great Nebuchadnezzar, nor Alexander the Great, nor yet any of the Persian Kings, or Roman Emperors were equal in Glory to Solomon. All this and very much more, that is Profitable and Wonderful, is proved undeniably. And because different kinds of gold and silver hath been frequently mentioned in this book, that the Reader may the better understand what is meant thereby, a short treatise is subjoyn'd thereto concerning the same, and the specifick Gravity thereof, with easie Rules, and many plain Examples for trying of Gold and Silver, and finding their Purity exactly without Melting; and the Weight and Value (exactly) of the Gold and Silver Coin of Great Britain, without Weighing or Reckoning it, being altogether new.
