vanquished foes with savage ferity and over your Confederates with falshood fraud and treachery For you may call to mind if you please your signall ingratitude to the Scots to whom you owe first the very Being and after that the Wel-being nor onely of the Parliament but of your selves your Wifes and Children who in all humane reason had inevitably fallen under the power of the King's justice had you not been rescued from it by the assistance of your Brethren of Scotland when you had with most pitiful moans and Messages called upon them for it Then your ingratitude to the City of London who was your Judas to carry the purse for you without carrying the Parallel any further unlesse I should say that ye may perhaps in one thing be like our Saviour Christ too that as he was crucified so ye may be all hanged These acts of high persecution of your Enemies and shamelesse ingratitude and falshood to your Friends renders you equally hatefull to both And if that of Claudian be true neque enim libertas tutior ulla est Quam domino servire bono then are we become the greatest Slaves in the world because we serve the worst Masters whose arts have not been very admirable neither since it did not require any great reach to carry on designes with that rule of making great Engagements and Promises and of never keeping any But I le be brief with you and tell you That there was a time when the name of Parliament was used to intimidate Kings and Princes and the Great men of the earth so now the time is comming and is at the very dore when the Name of a KING a Name in which there is power saies Salomon shall by the revolution of Divine justice intimidate all the lofty Titles of Members Chair-men Committee-men and whatsoever other Offices and Dignities are thereunto belonging I know very well the religious refuge you make to your famous Mother Shipton from whose Oracles you think your selves ordain'd to depose not only the King but the Throne it self in the succession of the Royall Line because she hath said there shall be no more Kings and Queens of England which is a truth the Devil hath told you enigmatically to make you more sure his own For I am ready to believe as well as you that there will be no more Kings nor Queens of England and yet I doe believe too this Monarchy was never at that height it is now about to arrive to by the blessing of God on the present undertakings of men For the union of the 2 Crowns of England and Scotland so prudently fore-laid by Hen 7. in the Marriage of His Daughter Margaret to James 4. King of Scotland had no sooner received the wisht-for successe in the Person of our late Soveraigne King James But both Kingdomes entred into a Treaty of rendring the Peace and union between them inviolable And the wisdome of the Commissioners of the Kingdome of Scotland then employed to the Parliament of England for establishing that union considering that to advance the same it would be profitable to remove all memorials of the disunion and separation endeavoured also that the common name of Great Britaine might be reciprocally taken up by both Nations Which though it produced no other effect at that time then a Proclamation from K. James as I remember yet that shewed a true understanding that wise Nation had in improving the union to the utmost both in name and interest And to this day the same hath been prosecuted in the transactions between the Parliaments of both Kingdoms and was intimated by the Lord Lowden in a Speech at a Conference of both Houses and will no doubt have its just and reasonable effect upon the setling of that Peace both Kingdomes are now fighting for against a generation of Vipers would eat out the Bowels of their Native Country with a malicious and obstinate endlesse Warre to maintain the variable revolutions of their fancies humours and passions which they call their Conscience and support the necessity of their fortunes which they call the Liberty and Property of all the Subjects of England I say that you and I shall in a short time live to see this Riddle of your Prophetesse made good against all the malice and power of your wicked sense and actions and these two Nations united into one common name of Great Britaine And His Majesties residence being drawn into the middle part of this hopefull Empire which the world will then grow jealous of may perhaps give a further issue to your reverend Sibylls Prophecies that Yorke shall be Where His Majesty and His Posterity no more using the stile of Kings and Queens of England shall be saluted Kings and Queens of Great Britaine to the worlds end which God grant Is it not time then Sir for you to look about you and in stead of wishing me the Honour of being a Member wish your self the happinesse of being none Give me seriously in one breath the just account of those vast sums you would willingly give to have lived these last fix years at my little private Tusculanum reaping the joyes of innocent and peacefull houres free from the disorder and affranation of Tumults prejudice of Factions and injuries of Warre And tell me freely or rather tell your own heart what course of life you would not rather undertake were you to begin again then the unprosperous profession of a Souldier For beside the envy and rage of men the spo●les rapes famines slaughter of the innocent wastings and burnings and other miseries laid on the labouring man by you have been so great that were not the merc●es of God infinite it were in vain for any of you to hope for any portion of them seeing the cruelties by you perm tied and committed have also been infinite Your Votes for a Personall Treaty can give us small assurance of your affections to Peace since you seem to be necessitated to them by the importunate desires of the people whom it was necessary to suspend by giving them a crust or something to baite upon while your selves acted all the while artificially and cunningly to render your own Councells ineffectuall for to that purpose tended the neglect of your own Votes after they were made your clogging them with preparatory Bills your receiving Petitions praying you to proceed in your own way your discountenancing others desiring a Treaty not to say taking occasion from thence perhaps to murder and destroy the Petitioners themselves your limiting the place of Treaty to an Island which is it self but a larger Prison your attending the businesse with men of war which invades the freedome of it So that what you were ashamed to deny in words you professe not to like in actions and so long as Treaties and reconciliations are made up of the same ingredients as the late Warre Feares and Jealousies 't is not like that any other fruit should be expected no more then
