Warre against our lawfull Soveraigne under pretence of defending our Lawes and Liberties and the Priviledges of Parliament which themselves onely with a concurring faction in the House have now openly and in the face of the Sunne pulled up by the roots and now they stop our mouths and silence our just complaints with horrid Sect. 162. illegall and bloudy Acts Declaring words and deeds against their usurpations and tyranny to be High Treason nothing is now Treason but what the remaining faction of the House of Commons please to call so To murder the King breake the Parliament by hostile force put downe the House of Lords erect extrajudiciall High Courts of Iustice to murder Men without Triall by Peers or Iury or any legall proceeding to subvert the fundamentall Government by Monarchy and dispossesse the right Heyre of the Crowne and to usurp His supreme Authority in a factious fagge end of the House of Commons to put the Kingly Government into a packed Iunto of forty Tyrants called A Councell of State to exercise Martiall Law in times of peace and upon Persons no Members of the Army to raise what unnecessary illegall Taxes they please and share them and the Crowne Lands and Revenues amongst themselves leaving the Souldiers unpaid to live upon Free-quarter whilst they abuse the People with pretended Orders against Free quarter to alter the Styles of Commissions Patents Processe and all Legall proceedings and introduce a foraigne Iurisdiction to Counterfeit the Great Seale and Coyne of the Kingdome and to keep up Armies of Rebels to make good these and other tyrannies and Treasons is High Treason by the knowne Lawes but now by the Votes of the Conventicle of Commons it is High Treason to speake against these Crimes Good God! how long will thy patience suffer these Fooles to say in their hearts there is no God and yet professe thee with their mouthes to breake all Oathes Covenants and Protestations made in thy name to cloake and promote their Designes with dayes of impious fasting and thanksgiving how often have thy Thunderbolts rived senslesse Trees and torne brute Beasts that serve thee according to their creation yet thou passest over these men who contemn thee contrary to their knowledge and professions Scatter the People that delight in warre Turne the Councells of the wise into folly let the crafty be taken in their owne net and now at last let the Oppressed tast of thy mercies and the Oppressor of thy justice throw thy rod into the fire and let it no longer be a bundle bound together in thy right hand They appeale to thee as Author of their prosperous sinnes become Lord Author of their just punishments bestow upon them the reward of Hypocrites and teach them to know the difference between the saving strength of Magistrates and the destroying violence of Hang-men But what am I that argue against thy long-suffering whereof my selfe stand in need and seek to ripen thy vengeance before thy time shall the Pot aske the Potter what he doth I beheld the prosperity of the wicked and my feet had almost slipped Lord amend all in thy good time and teach us heartily to pray Thy will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven 170. The Act for Abolishing Monarchy proclaimed in London May. 30. 1649. The aforesaid trayterous Act for abolishing Kingly Government and converting England into a Free-State consisting of forty Tyrants and many millions of Slaves was proclaimed in London by the newly intruded illegall Lord Major Andrewes accompanied with 14 Aldermen of the same pack the People in great abundance crying out Away with it away with it GOD save King CHARLES the Second and bitterly reviling and cursing it and them untill some Troops of Horse ready prepared in secret were sent to disperse beat and wound them and yet the Tryall of the King and the subverting of our well-formed Monarchy under which we lived so happily heretofore with all other Acts of the like high nature was done in the name of the People of England although I dare say at least five hundred to one if they were free from the terror of an Army would disavow these horrid Acts so little are the People pleased with these doings notwithstanding the new Title the Conventicle of Commons have gulled them withall Voting the People of England to be The Supreme Power and the Commons representing them in Parliament the Supreme Authority of the Nation under them This was purposely so contrived to engage the whole City and make them as desperately and impardonably guilty as themselves and certainly if this Tumult of the People amounting to a publique disclaimour of the Act had not happened the whole City had been guilty by way of connivance as well as these Aldermen and the illegall Common Councell newly packed by the remaining Faction of Commons contrary to the Cities Charters to carry on these and such like Designes and entangle the whole City in their Crimes and Punishments * The Names of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London that personally proclaimed the Act for abolishing Kingly Government Alderman Andrewes Lord Mayor Alderman Pennington Ald.

Foot The Pharasiticall House of Commons voted an Act 171. A Thanks-giving Dinner in the City for the Generall c. 1. Iune for a day of Thanks-giuing to set off K. Olivers Victory over the Levellers with the more lustre and to sing Hosanna to him for bringing the grand Delinquent to punishment The wise Lord Mayor and his Brethren in imitation invited the Parliament Councell of State the Generall and his Officers to a Thanks-giving Dinner upon that day The Commons appointed a Committee under pretence of drawing more money from Adventurers for Relief of Ireland to engage the City farther to them Cromwell had the Chaire in that Committee the device was that the Common Councell should invite the Parliament Councell of State and Officers of the Army to Dinner and feast them as a Free-State and then move the Supplies for Ireland But if the Levellers had prevailed the thanks-giving whit-broth and custard had beene bestowed upon those free-spirited Blades whom Oliver raised into a mutiny with one hand and by advantage of his Spies cast downe with another for the glory of his owne Name and that he might have an occasion to purge the Army as he had done the Parliament of all free-borne humours 172. The Councell of State sit in pomp at Wihte hall White-hall is now become the Palace of a Hydra of Tyrants instead of one King where our Hogens Mogens or Councell of State sit in as much state and splendour with their Roomes as richly hanged I wish they were so too and furnished if you will believe their licenced News-books as any Lords States in Europe yet many of these Mushromes of Majesty were but Mechanicks
