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.

He urges the deposing of King Edward the Second and in pag. 80. he makes another traiterous president of the deposing of King Richard the Second but he never mentions the mischiefes that this Kingdome endured by those wicked paracidicall Villanes I will reckon a few of them First Parson John Ball with Wat Titler Jack Straw and Jack Shepheard arose in rebellion c. Anno 1379. murdered Simon Sudbury Archbishop of Canterbury for which insurrection and murder 1500. Rebells were hanged in severall places look to it Prinne one place will serve your turne Anno 1450. One Blewbeard was a Captain of Rebells but they were quickly foil'd some hanged and some taken and for a token of remembrance James Fiennes Lord Say then Lord Treasurer of England was found guilty of many Treasons and handsomely hanged in the 29. yeare of King Henry the Sixth After that Jack Cade a Bricklayer and withall a counterfeit Mortimer did then as some of his Tribe do now tax the King with evill Counsellours thus Cade raised an Army of Rebells which were not supprest without the losse of 5000 men besides other outrages committed Anno 1454. As the Battaile of S. Albans betwixt the Yorkifts and Lancastrians King Henry the Sixth lost 8000 men and the Duke of York 6000.

He quotes the falling away of the ten Tribes from Rehoboam for a president for Rebellion page 88. all along he mentions the deposing of wicked Popes page 9. he repeates the words of Caiphas That it was expedient that one should die for the people though a King yea Christ the King of Kings that the whole Nation perish not rather then the whole Nation perish for him O thou blasphemous beast Doest thou so farre hate the Lord 's Anointed as to justifie the crucifying of our Saviour in expression of thy malice to thy Soveraigne Good Sir there is no such necessity that either the King or Subject should die one for another or that they should so much as distaste each other nor had this lamentable Distraction been between them but that your delicate Master the Devill hath by your meanes set them at Division In his 91. page he speakes some Truth That the King hath not power to tyrannize over his Subiects or to oppresse them with perpetuall irremediable slavery Good Master Gandergoose 't is confest that the King hath no such power nor ever did he exercise any such Tyranny as you talke of but you and your Accomplices have usurped a Traiterous power to your selves whereby yee have tyrannized over his Majesties Subjects in more savage and barbarous manner than Turkes or Tartars would have done page 92. Prinne speakes a parcell of non-sense in capital Letters It is lawfull for the people submitting themselves to subscribe the King and his Successours what Law they please O! what might this fellowes Head be worth at a hard Siege when one of his Brothers Heads was sold at Samaria for 80 pieces of Silver 2. King 6. 25. Pag. 97. he saith that King Edward the sixth and Queen Elizabeth did hold their Crownes by Parliamentary title rather then by the course of common Law Baw waw indeed their Legitimacie was objected against by some opulent Papists because their Father the King had married the Lady Katherin who was first his Brother Arthurs wife and after 21 yeares marriage the King caused her to be divorc'd from him and he marrying other wives in her life time the Childrens Right by birth was by some Malignants questionable to cleare which doubts the King caused their Legitimacie to be confirmed by Act of Parliament and so much in Answer to that absurd Treason Pag. 101. he saies Charles the third Emperour was deposed by the Princes Dukes and Governours of Germany because he was mad Surely thou art not well in thy wits to meddle with that mad Emperour whose madnesse or deposing concernes neither thee nor thy mad Cause thou pratest and liest so in then he talkes of Wenceslaus the Emperour and Childerick King of France how they were both depos'd And yet in the 104 pag. he confesses the King hath no Peere He is not to have a Superiour and that the King ought not to be under man but God If Justice be demanded of him by way of Petition because no Writs runnes against him if he doe not Iustice this punishment may be sufficient to him that God will revenge it and yet presently again he saies the Parliament is above the King Thus you see how sometimes the Devill gives him leave to speake truth against his will though presently he fall from it againe as being not toothsome was ever such a Crop-eard Asse that would thus contradict himselfe In the 106 pag. he saies the Emperours had not highest power in

his Seales originalls from Adulterous Incest Theeving Avarice Murder Perjury and Destruction and what can be expected but the like mischiefes and miseries from this New-borne Counterfeit Adulterated Mungrell His very Title of Opening of the Great Seale puts me into some suspition of Blasphemy in it as alluding to the Lambes opening the Seale in the Revelation but I omit that as too serious for this manner of Encounter And I have spyed a Crosse in his second page to begin withall which makes me ready to crye out Popery Popery and I thought it would have frighted him out of the Court but I perceive the Devill is Elder and M. Prinne is more impudent then the Legend tells us and I am sure that Legend is as true as most of Prinnes writings are The Devill was in Saint Christophers dayes for then he ran aside at the sight of the Crosse for feare of him that dyed on it But now Prinne goes on in despight of both though indeed somewhat like the Devill all on one side and tells us a Tale of Crosses pag. 3. and at length of Seales though it be a long time er'e he could find that English Kings had any event ill the Raignes of Offa and Edwin Nor any Broad Seale till Edward the Confessor The best is he there by grants that the Kings grant is good under his Signe Manuall or Signet yea if need be under his hand without any Seale but this I leave to Lawyers And when the Broad Seale came into use it was the Seale of our Lord the King or the Kings Broad Seale and the Chancellors were called the Kings Chancellors not the Peoples nor the Parliaments pag. 10 and 11. that the Kings from time to time ordered and altered the Great Seale at their pleasures and that King Richard the first pretending that the Great Seale was lost when Roger his Vicechancellour was drowned before the Isle of Ciprus and that the King caused a New Seale to be made All this is granted but no part of this doth say that a Parliament made that Seale 't is said the King caused it to be made besides that was not a counterfeit Seale made by a Faction without the Kings Consent or which is more against Royall Commands and Proclamations to the contrary Then he goes on honestly that our Kings have altered their Seales with various Inscriptions Stiles and Armes but alwayes of their owne and in their owne names never of the Parliaments For I thinke their Armes and Motto except it should be A Beast with many Heads are yet to seeke Nor was it ever medled with in Parliament but for the Kings behalfe in the Kings name by the Kings Authority and according to his will as even those two Instances of a New Broad Seale made for Edward the first pag. 18. 19. Whilst he was absent militating in the Holy Land And for Henry the sixth when he was an Infant of nine mouthes old and his Vnkle the Protector doe more then manifestly convince directly contrary to what he produceth them to prove Nor were there any proportion or paralell betwixt an absent and a present King betwixt an implicite Consent and an expresse Command to the contrary betwixt the state of a Child and a Mature experienc'd King if the intents of our Parliaments were as Loyall as those appeared to be Whereas indeed the contrary is apparent but that he presumes that all his Geese shall passe for Swannes and that he can perswade the People that the Moone is made of the same Calves skin that his new broad Seale shall be affix'd unto Yet the better to secure himselfe and his Associates from high Treasons in this point for they are deepe enough in other matters I would advise them to be contented to make use of the other Seales which he saith were made by their Authority but I must tell him not without the King and may be new-made by themselves viz. the Seale for Statutes Merchants in certain Corporations the Seale for the Hundred Rape or Wapentake City or Burrough left to the discretion of the Iustices of Peace if they have any or to the keeping of some honest good man of the County M. Pym was once reputed fit to have been the Keeper of this Seale p. 20. this Seale is great enough yet to have the stoned Horse carved in it for the bearing which Pym's father bequeathed to Aguis or the Seale of Alnegers and Collectours c. or that leaden Seale for cloathes which he insists upon as if it were as authentique as the Popes Bull or the Seale of the Customers Office which they are well skilled in improving for themselves though they rob the King of it and the seales of cloath of Gold Silver Velvet Damaskes Chamlets Silkes Tobacco and Tobacco-pipes and of as many trinkets as are enumerated in their late Book of Excise and Rates and let them take in the Seales of Yarmouth and Linne-wosted-makers to boot but let them not meddle with the Dutchy Seale the Exchequer Seale the Seale of the Court of Wards and Liveries not the Seale of the Augmentation which he spends so much wast paper about in his pag. 21 26. for feare of a Premunire especially if they have any cares to lose as some of them have hitherto but above all meddle not with the Great Seale it is not Prinnes Assertion that the Parliament is uncapable of Treason and out of the intentions of the Statutes concerning Treasons of that kinde which can protect you against a Tiburne Pole-axe except you can procure the King's consent as a part of the Parliament as the case was in the Times of King Edward the first and King Henry the fixth which he repeates again for no other purpose but to manifest how his Noddle is furnished with the Art of Memory to insert things over and over to the purpose aforesaid as much as in the totall comes to nothing but these remembrances are of small validity to make way for Master Prinnes pardon as the whole Parliament was forced for a lesse Rebellion than this in the time of Richard the second Or unlesse you be resolved to make good your Speakers promise at the beginning of this Parliament To make his Majesty the richest King in Christendome against your wills by forfeiting your Estates Lands and Lives and having let the Kingdome in combustion you fall like Phaeton for prosuming to guide that Chariot whose lustre dazled your eyes and whose sublimity astonisheth yea confounds your understandings And so confounded be all they that exalt themselves against God and against the King Let their lives be ●●●bsome and their deaths Herodian lowsie and virmiculated Let their mouthes be sealed up with the speechlesnesse of their selfe guilt And let their eyes be picked out by the Ravens of the valleys and eaten by the young Eagles But let the King ever rejoyce in the strength of the Lord and be exceeding glad in his salvation Mat. 22. 12. Prov. 30. 17. Psal

Master Prinne with Papall Authority would dispence withall yet his Majesty hath good and faithfull Subjects enough who scorne and deride your foolish traiterous dispensations and doubt not by God's assistance to mould you and your seduced Rabble of Rebells into better fashion Page 13. If the King himselfe shall introduce Forreigne Forces and Enemies into his Realme to levy Warre against it or shall himselfe become an Enemy to it This doubtfull supposition is so idle and triviall that the best Answer to it is to laugh at it page 14. he talkes how King Henry the second of France was casually slain at a Tournament by the Lord Montgomery and then he tells us of Sir Walter Tirrell's Arrow glancing against a Tree slew King William the second of England presently he makes a step into France again and brings us word that King Charles the first being mad there was deprived and kept clsoe and that the deaths and deprivations of these Kings was then proved to be no Treasons because they were done out of no malitious intents This is Bombast to stuffe out his big-wombe Book and as neare the matter as Braseol and Banbury Page 17. He playes the Huntsman and compares the Keeper of a Parke and the Deere in it to a King and his People Suppose this Comparison were granted then you must also grant that you have rebelliously broken down the Parke pale or wall so that the Deere are scattered and divided the best of them I am sure the truest Harts do keep within their bounds and live under the protection of their Keeper whilest you have got all the whole Heard of Rascals amongst you and much good may do it you with them In Page 22. he makes a leape from hence into Asia and relates strange Newes how Tamberlane conquered Bajazet and put him in an ironcage then you are sure it was not a Pillory but if a time of Peace were were it not for depriving the Hangman of his due I would begge thee and shew thee in Fates and Marts for a Motion whereby thee and I could not chuse in short time but be without abundance of money From page 23. to page 60. he tautologically talkes Naturall Non-sense and Artificall Impertinencies which in page 60. he saith he gathered from one Albericus Gentilis page 61. he stumbles upon Truth again and sayes That it is out of controversie that no man ought to resist against the King Page 63 64. he cites 32 Arguments of Scripture to maintain the Cause the chiefe of them is Daniel in the Lions Den he might as well have brought in Jacob's Well and the Woman of Samaria In pag. 66. be brings in the story of Ioram 2 Kings 6. how he sent a messenger to the Prophet Elishaes house to take away his head and that the Prophet did cause the doore to be shut to keep out the King's messenger from whence the learned logicall Prinne inferres that because the Prophet did not obey the King but shut his doore against the Messenger therefore King Charles his Subiects may oppose resist and rebell a very trim Argument From thence to page 73. he repeates old fusty businesse over and over and there he runnes for more luggage headlong into the Red-Sea and dragges the memory of crowned Pharaoh 〈◊〉 example of God's iudgements on that obdurate and impenitent King this was somewhat to the purpose but I cannot perceive where or how Page 81. The King with the Lords and Commons in Parliament have the whole Realme entrusted with them of which great trust the King is onely Chiefe and Soveraigne now I agree with you Sir if your writings had been all such as this and your Members and Committees Votes and Orders correspondent then we had had no Rebellion and your high prized Bookes would have been iustly valued to be worth nothing A little after he sayes The King is the supreme Member of the Parliament thou ill bred Fellow thou mightest have said HEAD and that contrary to the trust and duty reposed in Him through the advice of evill Counsellours wilfully betrayes this trust and spoiles and makes havocke of his People and Kingdomes these are but the old lyes feares jealousies doubts ifs and ands newly revived and furbushed as in page 86. he hath another which is If the King should command us to say Masse in his Chappell to which I answer If the Skie fall c. and the one of those ifs is as possible as the other Page 108. He musters up 51 of the ancient Fathers to lend him their hands to defend his falsities wherein he hath wrested and abused their integrity sufficiently but I observe that he meddles with neither of the Gregories either the Great or Nazianzen his policy is not to mention them because then young Gregory herhaps may be put in minde of him for Prinne is crafty and observes the Proverbe He must have a long Devill that eates with a spoone Page 92. He hath wrested the sword out of the hands and cut off the heads of all his opposite Goliahs 'T is well bragg'd but if it be true that you have cut off all the heads of your opposites you have been bloudily revenged for the losse of your eares I prithee when thou diest bequeath one of thy law-bones to be kept amongst the dreadfull Weapons and Ammunition of the Members Magazine it may do strange things amongst a Crew of Philist●ms Pag. 134. He contradicts himselfe with Statutes of King Henry 8. Ed. 6. and Qu. Eliz. That words against the King even in preaching are high Treason as well as raising Armes very right and those Statutes being yet in force what would become of all your reverend railing Pulpit-men I will not slander them to call 'em Preachers upon my conscience thy destiny and theirs would be all one if the said Statutes were duely executed and you would all leave your old Trades and deale in the two rich commodities of Hempe and Timber till your last gaspes Pag. 142. he railes at the King again as if he were hired to it or that he had nothing else to do also he be labours the Cavaliers ex tempore by the Titles of Cut-throates bloudy inhumane and barbarous with other such pretty names as the Gentleman pleases to bestow upon them for which I hope they will not all die till some of them be out of his debt Page 143. Christians did not resist persecution under Pagans ergo Christians must not resist Christians and because Subjects are Christians as well as Kings therefore Christian Kings must not resist Rebells In his last Leafe he hath waded through this weighty Controversie and proved that both by Law and Conscience this Rebellion is justifiable and thus the Reader may perceive how Prinnes Judgement and Conscience is biassed Vpon Prinnes fourth Quarter or part of his Soveraigne Power of Parliaments IN page 13. he brings in a messe of musty Presidents like the mouldy Bread ragged Cloathes and clouted Shooes of the
