appear what they are so this following Parallel betwixt the Argathelian Faction and the Independent Junto will serve for an eye-salve to cure the eye-sight of both Kingdoms and let them see clearly how near they are to the brink of an intolerable and perpetual slavery Argile and his Faction stiled by the Independents the Godly party in Scotland the rest all Malignants The like in England by the Army of Sectaries and Independent Junto above twenty millions shared amongst them whereof the Kingdom can never get accompt all places of Honour and Trust of England still in the hands of those that are engaged for and with the Army of Sectaries Cromwell and the army for the King in their first ingagements but having inslaved the City inforced the Parliament to the dethroning Votes and as not formerly acquainted therewith gave thanks for them and sent their Emissaries to some seduced Counties and Corporations to do the like Cromwell contributes a Passe to His Guides slacking the guards as he did the second time when he frighted him with a Plot from Hampton-Court to the Isle of Wight where he remains close Prisoner The blood shed in England under colour of justice in cold blood calls aloud for vengeance and the perfidious breaches of the Army of their promises to King Parliament and Country is too too evident What the insolent Army did comming with Bayes in their hats when they inslaved the Parliament and riding in triumph through the City by whose bounty they were made and maintained an Army will to their perpetual infamy be registred to all posterity The Army and some others by their instigation petition that the Kingdome may be setled without the King and that Army continued to enslave the Kingdom especially the Presbyterian party their Army being for Toleration Cromwell was ready to comply but got some other work for the time and if God prevent it not will now speedily be able to obey Argile's desires but if that fail Argile shall have money and send David Lesley to levy Forces abroad to work Argile's ends 1. The Army of Sectaries in England however formerly Preached and wrote against now called by Argile's faction the hope of their safety 2. The heavy Taxes imposed and continued upon Scotland by Argile and his Faction and all the benefit thereof and most part of the monies got from England shared amongst them and no satisfactory accompt given to the Kingdom thereof 3. All places of Honour and trust usurped by Argathelians till of late and the Army modelled to maintain their Interest 4. Argile formerly yet but seemingly for Monarchy now really against it and all that desire to assert it 5. That Faction first betrays the King to come to the Scots Army promising protection and then most perfidiously delivered Him up to the mercy of His most cruel Enemies 6. Argile and his Faction have been most cruel to those they call their Enemies especially in cold bloud and perfidious to their friends deserting and betraying them 7. Argile when he had done mischief must have both thanks and reward and like a Conquerour march through the Kingdom in triumph a thing never granted amongst the noble Romans to triumph for a Victory in a Civil War 8. Argile's Faction petitions That the Army intended for His Majesties inlargement and the relief of our Presbyterian Brethren shall not come in 9. Argile and his Faction desires but five thousand Horse to assist them to subdue Scotland which must be turned a Province to the Kingdom of the Saints Let this serve for a Caveat to the mis-led and deluded Protestants of the three Kingdoms not to trust the fair promises or pretences of these seeming Saints who have made the solemn League and Covenaat intended for preservation of Religion His Majesties Honour and the just Liberties of the Subject to be the ruine of Religion the dishonour so far as in them lieth of His Majesty and the most absolute enslaving of all free Subjects not to Kings or Princes to Great men or Good men but to the very scum and off-scouring of both Kingdoms it being no small grief to all that truly feared God that so many of the reputed honest Presbyterian party should out of base fear or other by-respects comply so long with these State-Juglers the Clergy being most active hastning thereby their own and the Kingdoms misery for they may be well assured if these Saints prevail they must as some of them have done already turn their Coats once more and become the Hirelings and tongue-tied Tenants at will to their Brethren of the Independency or be kicked out of their fat Benefices and possibly out of the Kingdom to prevent new Insurrections against them which they are cunning to procure having the power in their hand to repress all that dare appear against them may be ruined others by their example terrified and their Saints may enjoy the fatness of England but I would ask these violent Clergy-men of the Presbyterian Party that are unwilling His Majesty should be brought speedily to a Personal Treaty what their Assemblies of Divines have been doing for if that Confession of Faith set out in England approved of in Scotland be agreeable to the truth of Gods word as I know nothing to the contrary why should the chief Magistrate our dread Soveraign be any longer debar'd of his just dues is He worse then Infidel that you will assist those that deny His sacred Majesty that which they allow to Infidel Magistrates blush for shame and repent in time lest as they change their Votes every day according as the tide of their power ebbs and flows so they may soon force you to repeal that Article concerning the chief Magistrate or like the gloss of Orleans put an exposition upon it which destroyeth the text God send us peace and truth and preserve His sacred Majesty and his Posterity and confound the wicked counsels of all such as are enemies to Peace Truth and Monarchy Si quid novistirectius istis Candidus imperti Si non his utere mecum THE END
