but duely weigh and consider where and by whom this great danger is and who are those threatning destroyers those Petitioners and new devised Covenanters especially the contrivers and promoters of the designe will be found the only continent wherein the said epidemicall mischief lodgeth and from whence all feare therof ariseth and yet this very Petition and new Machivillian Protestation is no other then an eleaven Membered designe for a new bloody direfull war even for the destruction of Religion of his Majesties honour and safety peace of the three Kingdomes c. yea and for the most horrible and dreadfull destruction and subversion of this mighty populous City For it is first to be considered by all who shall be moved hereunto to subscribe and be assistant before they subscribe assent or act where and by whom those forementioned principles of Englands safety are so desperatly endangerd if it be found that these kind of engagers contrivers and drivers on of this new device be the very men from whom all the said danger hath hitherto arisen and from whō it is now only threatned then this new engagement can be no other esteemed then an engagement of the people in the very destruction of that for which it thus glori●usly pretends s●fety and preservation for can wee expect grapes of thornes or figges of thistles such as are the engagers such must wee suspect and deem the intent of the engagement and designes for every thing produces its like and you may know a Beare by his paw And to put the matter out of doubt common observation or every mans wofull experience tell us where the faultlies there are but two parties in the Kingdome upon which now it can be laid either this Army and their friends or the obstructing traiterous party in the two Houses at Westminster with their Clergy accomplices confederates As for the Army and their friends they have ever actually and visible engaged for the foresaid principles of common right and safety and now to give undoubted testimony to their uprightnesse and sincerity in their said undertakings they doe now faithfully and unanimously stand for the due and effectuall accomplishment thereof as their severall printed papers evidence to every impartiall capacity Therefore there can be no just ground or reason in the engagement for these things if the engagement be against them for to engage against the reall engagers for a thing is a direct engagement against the thing it selfe though never so much under the notion and colour of the thing And now the face of this new designe is directly against the Army for the rescuing of his Majesties Royall Person from their honorable safe protection and custody end enforcement of them at such a distance to the City and yet it would seeme to make the subscribers believe as if that were the most likely meanes to prove most effectuall to procure a firme and lasting peace without a further effusion of Christian English blood and how like that is let the world judge For what can be surmised or concluded from them but j●rres discord strife confusion warres effusion of bloud c. for such an engagement as this cannot possibly be without such disasterous horrible effects for what is done in this nature and after this kinde must needs be done by force of armes T●erefore this engagement must needs arise from such as are most desperate inveterate enemies to the Army and to these foresaid pillars of the peoples safety who for their owne protection in the ruine of the Army would engage King Kingdome and City in their owne destruction therefore let this be a caution for every honest hand and heart endeavouring and desiring the peace and prosperity of King and Kingdome to forbeare subscription or concurrence thereto touch not taste not handle not Now concerning the factious traiterous party in the House with their complices who are the hinderers of those forementioned principles of safety but those Are they not the party under the weight of whose trecherous delusions oppressions and cruelties this Kingdome still laboureth in paine and who obstruct the course of justice and under that obstruction protect themselves from justice even to the disquieting of the Kingdome ●ndangering the peace and eminent ruine thereof impartiall judgement tell us they are and how can this new engagement those weighty premises considered be judged for any other end then for the protection of these delinquent traiterous Members their accomplices and accomplishment of their owne factious designes and even to the very apparent ruine of the Cities of London and Westminster and endangering the stately structures thereof to be laid levill with the ground For who are the Armies enemies but these And what party considerable in the Kingdome have these men to shelter themselves from the edge of their particular charge Are not their greatest hopes in the City And so rather then they will perish even the City it selfe shall sinck and perish for hereby they would engage it to lay it selfe in its owne ashes for if this their desperate work should go forward what can the City expect but to be sacked plundered and destroyed and left in its owne rubbish and ruines for is not the whole Kingdome in a manner concurrant with the Army And if there should be such an engagement and protestation and vow in the City as one man to make resistance and to suffer no neutrallity amongst them how can they thinke to stand against this just and faithfull Army and this Kingdome and scape the consuming vengeance of sword and famine C●rtainely vengeance will dog the heeles of the Tyrant and oppressour whether soever he flyeth and when inquisition is made woe unto his protectours and defenders therefore you that are or shall be moved to this perilous bloody plot looke well before you leape yeasterday cannot be recalled to day if you will heare the voice of safety harden not your hearts least you hurry swift destruction upon your owne heads the City and Kingdome too Thus having this foresaid Petition and Covenant put into mine hands I thought good in haste to adde a short consideration thereto that if hapily I may adde unto the just prevention of the ruine of this Kingdome and City thereby and so present and leave both to the use judgement and consideration of all whom it may concerne and remaine Faithfully devoted to the peace and safety both of Kingdome and City FINIS
