We call Heaven and Earth and your selves who are to us as Hell and Devils to witness against you What can the most carnal loose and prophane Atheists do more abominable than you have done What have the falsest Jews the fiercest Turks the most bruitish Heathens the Renegado Christians the subtilest Jesuites or the most Phanatique Anabaptists and Schismaticks or any other that are wholly without God in this world ever done comparable to your immense Villanies Yea what could Devils do more if they had their wills but by such Instruments as you are extend their malice to the utmost latitude of their power Have you not by Treachery and Tyranny usurped upon all just power and exalted your selves such despicable worms above all that is called God Neither King nor Parliament nor Laws nor your own Engagements to all nor your many Proposals Promises and Declaratioins have any reverence with you or weight upon you but like riotous and enraged Beasts you have overborn and trampled under your feet all that is either Sacred or Civil in the Laws of God Nature Nations or this Kingdom of which you are Members though the most ulcerous and pestilent that ever the Earth can bring forth or bear Hapily your stupid pride and brutish insolency will not suffer you to consider how odious abominable and accursed you now are to all men but such as are Cockatrices of the same Egg and Brood with your selves that is seared Saints hardned Hypocrites and enraged Satans We assure you you are now looked upon by all sober and honest minds as the heaviest and filthiest Incubuses that ever oppressed Church or State as the Legions of unclean Spirits which by Diabolical Arts and Magick of Hypocrisie have got possession of this Church and Kingdom till Christ by his power cast you out of and suffer you like the Demoniack Swine through the just judgement of God to be hurried headlong by your own terrours and despairs into the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone You are like cursed Cams not mockers only but murtherers of the Father of your Country impudent Ravishers both of Church and State to satisfie your most abominable lusts of Tyranny Cove●uosness and all licentious Prophaneness Monsters of men putid Apostates excreable Saints shameless Sinners traytorous Tyrants what have you to plead for or palliate with your late horrid outrages and unparallel'd villanies by which you have obstructed the Fountain of Justice altered the Chanel broken the Cistern turned the clear and wholesome Waters of our Laws into Blood Wormwood and deadly Poyson while you have with unheard-of tyranny and treachery set up your private wills by that publick power wherewith you were intrusted only for some limited uses above the Majesty and Lives of our King and his Children above the Dignity of our Parliaments the Honour of our Laws the Reverence of your Country and the Regard due to your fellow Subjects and confederate Nations And all this without the least colour of any Call or Authority from God or Man Reason or Religion against all Obligations both Sacred and Civil that might possibly lye on mens Souls to God or Man against many your particular pretensions and former promises of such due observance as became you both as Men Subjects Souldiers and Christians You who are not the thousand part of His Majesties Subjects how durst you knowingly act as in the name of all and yet indeed against the Duty Desires and Consciences of all but such Children of Belial as your selves You that are for the most part such Sons of the Earth of so base Extraction of meaner Education Strangers to all good Literature Honour or Civility Heirs of beggery and contempt whom most of the Subjects in England might for your rudeness and barbarity justly have disdained to have set with the Dogs of their Flocks how are you become the Creators of a new Heaven and a new Earth who are such Sons of Tohu and Bohu of Chaos Obscurity and Confusion You that at best are but Gods Butchers the unjust Executioners of his just vengeance as the evil and destroying Angels sent among us for a time though your exorbitant malice and lusts disdain to be limited by your Military Commission yet God we hope will restrain your fury who hath manifested your impious folly With what forehead could you thus lift up your hand against and set your selves above all those who are confessed your Betters Masters and Superiours As if in a Gyantly impudence and Cyclopick cruelty you could never be famous enough but by Infamy nor fierce and wicked enough unless you fought against Heaven against the express Word of God and his Vice-garents on Earth Thus heaping up Mountains of Lyes Perjuries Hypocrisies and Cruelties upon those vast and enormous Lusts of Rapine Sacrilege Covetousness Revenge and Tyranny in your hearts which nothing nath ever equalled or can exceed You have indeed finished the Master-piece of your Father the Devil whom as his first-born he hath filled with a double portion of malice subtilty and cruelty beyond any whose hearts like Elymas the Sorcerer or Simon Magus he hath possessed You have nothing left you but Impenitence and Hell which you neither believe nor fear by which to make farther progress in your most flagitious and ever accursed Villanies What step have you more to advance to the blaspheming of the Majesty of the most high God both in himself and his Deputies lawful Kings and Soveraign Magistrates What more can you do or invent to the scandal of the Gospel to the exposing the Name of Christ to open shame to the trampling his Blood under feet through the hatred and detestation of all Nations that are without the Church How could you devise more to adorn the Triumphs of Pope and Papists to whose tayls you are tied though your faces seem contrary and whose business you have done while you pretend to abhorr their Names as much as Devils do potent Charms What Sea could ever wash away from the face of the Christian Reformed Religion the stain of that blood of our King which you have in a Pageant of Justice most unjustly inhumanely and barbarously shed to colour your Malice to satiate your Revenge and to make way for your Tyranny If we the People of England should by our silence adopt and by our assistance nourish those prodigies of Rebellion Treason and Confusion which your libidinous Mars by the help of your prostitute and officious Venus your Un-parliamentary Junto hath lately brought forth and astonished the world withall Was it ever so done since the Name of Christ was planted on the earth save only by the spawn of those furies from whom you are descended who made such havock first in Africa after in other Western Churches and lately in Germany whose principles and practices you have as much surpassed in Hypocrisie Anarchy Cruelty and Blasphemy as Belzebub your Prince may be thought to exceed the lesser fry of damned Spirits Those impure Catharists

apparent and by your selves confessed to be unwarrantable Such Scripture paintings upon the face of your Jesabel would have served the turn of John of Leyden Knipperdoling Muncer and those other Impostors your infamous Predecessors as well as you and indeed they were by them no less pretended But with how bless*d success you are loath to own to remember as presaging your like destinies in Gods due time It is a strange and unwonted way of any sound and true Christians apparently to violate aud wholly decline from the obedience of clear moral precepts of Justice and other both Religious and Civil Duties to God and Man under a pretence of Zeal and a Call to fullfill prophetick Obscurities which darkly foretell what shall be done but do not precisely command us to do this or that In which events even the wickedest men and Anti-christs such as these are may as the Vials of the wrath of God pour our themselves and have a great part to act and yet receive no comfort or reward other than that of Hypocrites who may as Joseph's Brethren and Nebuchadnezzar did then most serve Gods Prophetick and Providential disposings when they act most contrary to his Revealed Will and only seek to serve their own Envy Covetousness and unsatiable Tyranny however they may as the Devil bait their Temptations with Scripture Allegations But know O ye hard-hearted Belshazzars whom no hand-writing out of Gods Words clearly setting forth your sin curse woe and damnation can yet scan or deterr from your frolick villanies That if you were Angels from Heaven as you are Luciferine Brats from Hell transforming your selves at first into Angels of light but now fully uncased so that now your fiery eyes your black and wide mouths your blasting and sulphurious breath your proud horns and your cloven feet appear to all but your own besotted Imps and Familiars if we say you yet appeared as Angels yet you should give us leave to believe the express Will and Word of God rather than your jugling fancies to which that is diametrically contrary both in the Precept and all practices of Christ and his true Saints Hear how the voice of God disagrees with your apparent folly and madness He bids honour and obey the King and our lawful Governours You cry crucifie destroy and scatter them Christ commands to give unto Caesar that which is Caesars no less than to God what is Gods But you take away as from God and his Church what is his so from our Caesar his Empire Liberty Life Posterity and all The voice of God bids us seek peace and ensue it branding with the reprobate marks of Hypocrites those that as Traytors heady high minded and fierce despisers of what is good break all Truce or Treaties which you have done beyond what ever the fal●est Miscreants ever did The Word of God is a clear constant uniform light as to the Rules of an holy life in Piety Equity and Charity but your Opinions Practices and pious Pretentions Centaure-like are various and deformed Changlings many-shapen and mis-shapen Monsters shifting Proteusses Slippery and virtiginous Serpents folded and hidden in the winding labarinths and intricate circulations of your many subtil slie and perplexed Designs The truth is there is as wide a difference between your clamors howlings and hideous yellings which sound nothing but War Blood Rebellion Famine Death Desolation and Damnation and that soft sweet gracious and most glorious voyce of God in the holy Scriptures which you use for a Net not a Garment as there is between the most bright beautiful Soul-saving-Truths and most black deformed Soul-damning-Lyes Your selves cannot think us uncharitable if we do believe and tell you That you have more blaspemed the Spirit Name Grace Word Saints and Servants of God by intituling these as Inspirers Authors and Approvers of your most graceless and devillish practices than ever those hard-hearted and impudent Hypocrites the Pharisees did by imputing the saving miracles of our Lord Jesus Christ to your Beelzebub the Prince of Devils whose Servants you are whose work you do and whose wages you must expect Nor do we doubt but all the Curses written in the Book of God which like that of Meroz have been causelesly factiously and fasly by some of your double-faced Janus's formerly imprecated upon the King and his loyallest Subjects will certainly overtake and fall upon both you and your viperous Generation We hope God will in his infinite goodness not suffer this dying Church and desolated Nation to be further partakers of your Babylonish Sins and open Sorceries lest we be partakers of your plagues and Torments which are laid up in the Treasures of the wrath both of God and all good men against you and your desperate faction We tell you we are so far from counting you Saints and Saviours that we look upon you as the Tophet which God hath indeed prepared for the King and these Kingdoms to try and torment them a while But we doubt not but God will at last cast you who are our Sin our Death and our Hell into the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone for ever Unless you repent so many of you Officers Souldiers and others as are capable of Repentance not being so deeply engaged in the desperate sins of those men your chief Leaders and Seducers who being past feeling of a most reprobate sense greedy and unreasonable Sinners make no conscience to damn your Souls for the perfecting their ambitious and covetous designs for which they have hitherto made use of the hands of so many valiant men worthy of a better work and a nobler War whereby to destroy your and our King subvert our Parliaments Laws Government and Religion And all this against all your and our Protestations Vows Oaths and Promises to God and Man O you that have followed these Theudasses as the seduced people sometime did Absalom in the simplicity of your hearts not aware of their devillish stratagems devises and designs You that have any touch of Gods Spirit or his Grace in your hearts any fear of God or dread of Sin left in you You that have any sense of your Souls eternal welfare which those either question or deny any terrour of the wrath of God or hope of his love and mercy You that are afraid to degenerate into unreasonable Beasts or incarnate Devils that you may enjoy the benefit of the Kings last charitable Prayers for your pardon and repentance make hast to depart from the Tents of these Achans these Korahs these Sinners who know themselves accursed of God and Men. Come out of their Babylon which is become the habitation of Devils and the Hold of every foul Spirit a Cage of every unclean and hateful Bird by a penitent and pious withdrawing from such filthy Harpies such cunning yet cruel Hyena's such weeping yet devouring Crocodiles such Banners as bear not the Kings Arms but his head cut from his body such Ensignes as are dyed in the blood of
