Wherein by a short survey and ani-mad-versions of some of his falsities, fooleries, non-sense, blasphemies, forreigne and domesticke, uncivill, civill treasons, seditions, incitations, and precontrivements, in mustering, rallying, training and leading forth into publique so many ensignes of examples of old reviv'd rebells, or new devised chimeraes.

Rome and yet he cannot deny that Saint Paul appeal'd to Caesar from whom there was no appeale In the 112 and last page he calls the Rebells that the Kings Forces took at Ciceter good People he complaines much of their hard usage I think he meanes because they were not hanged it was winter he saies and that they were forced to goe barefooted in Triumph to Oxford truly we are beholding to your Faction for the kind entertainment you have given to the Kings good Subjects when you have taken them you have either lovingly cut their Throats in cold blood or courteously hang'd thē or hospitably famish'd them freely imprisoned them bountifully rob'd and plunder'd them and favourably banish'd ruin'd and undone them and all this and more you have done for the Liberty of the Subject by the command of the Publique Faith Moreover he saies that the good People from Cirencester were Chain'd together with Ropes that 's a Bull Sir I doubt not but there will come a time when young Grigge shall teach thee in a trice with a trick that he hath what the difference is betweene a Chaine and a Rope and so I leave Repeating and Paraprasing any more on Prinnes most matchlesse first of his foure Proditorious parts The Reader may wonder why I spend no more Paper about the first part and I doubt all his whole Book is not worthy of so much But I assure you when I had surveyed every limbe of the Monster and pared of the excrescences I had much adoe to finde thus much considerable matter in it yet I am resolved to doe him the honour and afford him the patience to view his second part if it be but for love to his new Hebrew word the Militia for if his Brethren understood that it were Latine the language of the Beast they would never endure the use of it An Answer to Prinnes second Part of his Soveraigne Power of Parliament IN his Preface he complaines of Ignorance ah ungratious Boy dost thou raile against thy Mother in such as understand not a Parliament and that his Books he hopes will be get a firme Peace Indeed he that made light out of darknesse is able to produce good out of evill but how Prinnes Bookes stuffed as full of lies as lines wherein every word breathes Treason every syllable incites to Rebellion and the whole Chaos and confused masse of it is an unshap'd lump of all the Villanies Assassinations Murders Treasons Rebellions Deposings Imprisonments and all the calamities that hath befalne to infortunate Kings and Princes in all Nations either Christians or others since the worlds creation at least as much as his treacherous studious search could finde out he hath pack'd and hudled together purposely to root out and ruinate His sacred Majesty and Royall Posterity to raise a never ending Contention and to make His Majesties Dominions perpetuall fields of blood these are the marrow pith and intention of M. Prinnes sweet Peace-making Bookes At the latter end of his Preface he uses a piece of the Letanie saying Good Lord deliver us But I wish him to take heed that it come not to the hearing of the Members or the Close Committee that he spake such words for then he will be mistaken for a Protestant and so excluded from all grace favour and community with the godly Pag. 3. In this second part you may finde out of Prinnes owne Confession First conveniency second necessity and thirdly custome all concurring for the Kings ordering of the Militia Take heed M. Prinne what you say for if M. Saint-Johns and your Masters of the highest lower House heare you they may perhaps occasion a conference betwixt you and Tom Nash his Ghost to be cryed up and downe the streets as they dealt with your betters before you and if your good Mistresses in London understand it farewell all further Contribution your late Triumphant Bayes will be turn'd to Funerall Ewghe and if you can mend the matter no better then you doe by begging the Question and arguing so barrenly to wit that it must be granted that the whole power of his Majesty and his Predecessors in the Militia was derived from the Parliament This stuffe he treates on from the third pag. to the twelfth wherein he crosses all that he saies in the third pag. formerly repeated but if you can confirme your fine flourishes no better then by Equivocations Amphibologies and mysticall Sophisticall Fallacies by one while taking the Parliament for King and People as in the usuall sense it ought to be taken and the Lawes made by them all And another while making use of the word Parliament in your owne sense onely for the two Houses in contradiction to the King your Grant must be onely to have and to hold sixe foot in Knaves Acre under an overthwart beame for you hate the name of the Crosse on the highest Promontorie in the Province of Foolciana or if it light in the line of Communication as a speciall part of that Province is scituated neare to them then your Grant may be to have as much roome for your Quarters as you had for your Eares and that your Head may be mounted on London Bridge and made one of the overseers of the City which by your writings seemes to be a speciall part of your Ambition I am sure a just Reward of your most unmatchable undertakings Pag. 12.

Pag. he speakes truth That by the same power the Parliament had to raise an Army without the King by the same power they may raise mony to maintaine it which is as much as to say by the same power they had to be Rebells by the same power they might Murder Rob Plunder Ransack and ruinate His Majesties true Leige people and by the same power you have made bold to doe the like with all his Majesties Honours Mannours Royalties and Revenues all which you have done by the same power and liberall grants of that bountifull Potentate who offered to give all the Kingdomes of the world to our Saviour Pag. 34.

That Kings are Subjects to the highest powers which highest powers Prinne interpretes to be the people take heed though you have the pestilent art to make Law to be no Law and stealing to be no theft yet it is dangerous to pervert or juggle with holy writ But why doe I cast away admonition upon an Atheisticall railing Rabshekah who hath perverted wrung wrested construed and mis-applied the Patriarks Prophets Apostles yea Christ himselfe Pag. 12. he presents the miseries of the unfortunate and perfidious King Zedechias how his children were murdered before his face his eyes put out and after how he was carried Prisoner in Chaines to Babylon Also he mentions many other deplorable deaths and disasters that fell upon divers Kings and Princes All which Testimonies and presidents are so applyed as nothing else but Treason and Villany can be found in the applications In the 14. pag. he is saild into Sparta amongst the Kings of the Lacedemonians and there he makes enquirie how many of them have been brought to untimely ends In pag. 15. he tells us how the Sabeans confined their Kings to their Pallaces and used to stone them if they went out of their bounds without leave But your Scholars the Tumultuous Rabble did in Routes and Roguish Assemblies with cudgells march with their Tatterdmallians against White-Hall when his Majesty was there last Pag. 18. 19. and so to pag. 51.
