of Men. They have made it their Master-piece first to divide them o●● from another then amongst themselves to lull the Kings Partie asleepe they have pretended to re-inthrone His Majestie settle Him in His Just Rights case and bring downe the Compositions of Delinquents and set up a Regulated Episcop●●● for His Majestie if wee may conclude any thing from the Expressions of their Darlings They would not have them live by them much lesse Reigne over them Peters in his Word to the Army and Two to the Kingdome calleth him a Dead Dog and complaineth they are much troubled with him and seemeth to request some Agit●●●r or other to remove the Wicked from the Throne They generally require he ●●y be brought to Tryall and receive Punishment for all the bloud he hath beene the cause of shedding of The second and pulling downe Excise they fool'd the poore Country People with when they advanced to London shall be performed together which for them will be at Doomes day in the Afternoon The third may be done but if in their way and manner it had been better never have beene toucht I had rather have a Pope and his Cardinalls governe then have no Government at all And I beleeve most Men are of my Opinion But for the Citie there they have played their Master-piece and brought us to be the very hilling and by-word of the whole Kingdome or rather wee have brought our selves to it and truely it may seeme very strange to Men how such a Citie should receive Check by such an Army I shall give a very briefe account of the whole Businesse and I shall take leave to be very plaine let who will ●ind themselves aggrieved The Kingdome and Citie extreamely groaning under the heavy burthen of an Everlasting-Parliament the Unjustnesse Perfidiousnesse Hypocrisie Tyranny Oppression of whom will make their Names stinck in the Nosth●●lls of all honest Men as long as they are remembred were held in hopes they should be delivered from their Bondage under these Aegyptiant by this Army according to their Promise in private and Engagement and Declaration in publique This tooke off many from Opposing them Secondly This Army had wonne that Esteeme for Religion and Pietie th●● many would not beleeve that any thing not the fruit of both could proceed from them Thirdly They had a Partie of Lords and Commons basely and unworthily received Orders from them their Servants this gave Reputation to the Businesse and took off many they Marching up with them Fourthly The Seamen Watermen and Apprentices after proffer of their Service Cowardly deserted us Fifthly many Commanders Sectaries and Cowards layd downe their Commissions or hid their Heads just upon the Enemies approach Six●hly T●at Tr●cherous base Skellum Hardwicke of Southwarke who after that he had vowed by the Honour of a Souldier the Faith of a Christian the Reputa●●on of a Man that he would resist all A●med Men whatever who would endeavour to enter the Lyne to the losse of Life and this severall times by the reason he was suspected Nay after he had plotted the betraying of it and both by Letter and Personall Message invited the Army too and promised admission into So●thwarke I say this Treacherous base defection of his for which I hope to see him hang'd very much furthered the Enemies Designe Seventhly The Party they had in our very Committee for the Militia who by their long tedious Speeches so much obstructed the businesse that halfe an houres worke commonly tooke up a Nights debate Eightly It was just God should lay the Pride of this City in dust who notwithstanding the Judgements abroad upon the whole Land and our neighbour Nations sate still like a Queane never providing for the day of her owne visitation Lastly The many Promises the Army made of their faithfull Intentions to us and the whole Kingdome that they would endeavour the present setling of all differences the bringing the King to a Personall Treaty and not to enter the City All which they have unworthily broke These things very much facilitated their enslaving of this great and populous City but having us at command Machivilian like they breake all Promises and being they cannot bring us to their Bow they endeavour what possibly they can to make us weake Enemies to that purpose they Order the Parliament to take the Militia from us which was given us by a full and free Parliament as a marke of Honour So then a Committee of Parliament were pleased to call for our many great services done them and the Kingdome and conferred it upon beggerly Fouke and a company of Anabaptists and Sectaries and least these men should have so much ingenuity left as to be faithfull to the place that bred them they have so divided the command of the Militia into so many pieces that neither of them can scarce stand on their owne legg● much lesse make any considerable defence in case of danger They have likewise put that gallant and faithfull Coloneli Colonell West out of the Tower only because no Sectary and the City placed him there and in his roome that Thing Tichburne is put a fellow much below the Command fitter for a Possit and a warme Bed then to keep a Cittadell only a Peevish Sectary for that must be Honoured They have driven our friends out of the House of Commons as Massy Waller and that much lamented deceased Stapleton whose bloud cries loud for Vengeance and will be heard in the day of Enquiry when treacherous Manchester and Harvy who were in the Counsell as deep as any though they basely now act against us shall not dare to hold up their heads our ablest most faithfull and honest Aldermen and Commons are charged with High Treason a word as I have heard that prudent and faithfull Alderman Adam though his pockets were search'd when Lord Mayor to find a King all the bloud in a man's body now scarce brings his into his face so triviall a thing is High Treason now adayes Can it be thought that Langham Adams Bunce Bromfeild Jones should Act Treason against King or State I do confidently averre and thousands will make it good there sits not six in the Houses of Lords and Commons nor resident in the Army that have served the State with more uprightnesse faithfulnesse constancy and courage then these six gallant Men have done where had these Commons and Parling Lords been at the time when Glocester was besieged and so bravely defended by gallant Massy when that purple Jesuited Independent vulgò dicto Lord Say as once Melitia gave Benhadad advise to put Halters about our Necks and go aske Mercy truly we had better have done it then suffer him and his Crue to lay such fetters upon us I say where had these brave Men been had not these very six Men done beyond humanity I speake like a Christian alwaies submitting to Providence I am able to make it out if truth had but one single Patron left these very

A PAIRE OF SPECTACLES FOR THE CITIE Printed in the Yeare MDCXLVIII A Paire of Spectacles for the City WEre there not a more then ordinary stupidity possessing the hearts of men which God usually permits as the forerunner of heavy Judgements after so many reall Demonstrations of damnable Jesuiticall Designes upon Religion and Liberty it were very unnecessary to publish any thing of this Nature but let this unhappy necessity be obeyed and honest men be perswaded a little to withdraw their thoughts from their perplext reflections on the engagement and Tumults at Westminster with the City-Remonstrance which are usually looked upon as the Grounds but never were other then Occasions and Advantages sought by Sectaries and Athiests to throw us and the whole Kingdome into this Confusion and unless God who casteth out the Counsells of the wicked and taketh the Wise in their own craftinesse prevent is like to overwhelme both and apply themselves to observe Affaires as they have beene managed by them who will needs be the only Saints and Men of the most uprightnesse Fidelity and Integritie the greatest Denyers of themselves the greatest pretenders to the setting up of Christ in his Throne the only Assertors of Peoples Libertie taking off Taxes Excise calling of Money-Merchants to Accompt Lastly the bringing of the whole Kingdome to a happy and Peaceable Condition Yet comparing things together the diligent observer may easily discern● an evident conjuncture of Jesuits Sectaries Polititians Atheists Profane and Ignorant Persons for the Ruine of Religion all Government Order confounding all Distinctions of men for the introducing of Atheism● Anarchie Libertinisme Prophanesse The Designe hatcht by Phillip Nye Tom and John Good●●● and the rest of the Rabble tooke the opportunity of Crumwell's being Lieutenant Generall to Manchester who being theirs in Judgement they have made great by fathering upon him the issue of other mens Actions and valour So that no great Action could be performed though other men were as deserving as himselfe in it but the whole glory must be attributed to Crumwell the Pamphletiers commonly taking notice of nothing unlesse Crumwell or some of his Party might handsomely be made to owne it Thus at Marston-Moore though Sir Thomas Fairfax Lieutenant Generall Midleton Major Generall Craford deserved farre above him yet Crumwell must be bellowed abroad the Saviour of three Kingdomes the Great Deliverer 'T is truth if Craford had not whispered in his Eare he had delivered himselfe out of the Field in the beginning of the day at Na●b●e Val●ant Skippon Butler and some other stout Commanders bl●ud must purchase Honour for Crumwell and his Cowardly Sonne in Law Ireton Basing halfe taken by Dalbiere must have the Honour of Crumwell At Langport Massy's valour must make Crumwell great In all their Military matters they have fallowed Joabs counsell to David when the Cities of Waters have been taken the businesse as good as finished they must also downe that it may be called after their names Thus Crumwell's fame being made great the next worke is to fit him with fit followers to this purpose all the Sectaries in the Kingdome are invited together to the Army to be as a Reserve All occasions taken to Cashiere and dismisse all of what quality valour uprightnesse soever who were not of their judgement Sk●ppon sent to Beleagrue at Bristoll since handsomely laid by from Acting as Major Generall and made Governour of Newcastle Last of all that also had his Regiment snatcht from him and given to Lilburne Himselfe like that valiant Roman after he had saved his Country from a desperate Enemie return'd to lead a private life in his owne Country Adjutant Generall Wray for looking only on the City-Remonstrance throwne out of all It hath seem'd very strange to Men of their own Party that so gallant valiant Gentlemen should be turn'd out of their Commands upon so triviall matters As much Industry hath beene used to bring in Men of depraved Judgements and large Consciences Lambert the Anabaptist Overton Baxter a Pedling Strand-Gold-Smith whose greatest d●aling was in Thimbles and Bodkins made a Colonell For the Profits of which place I dare say he shall walke in the broadest way Crumw●ll can chalke him out Gravener a broken Citizen Quarter-master-Generall Staines a Quacking Mountebanck Commissary Generall Watson who had beene hang'd for Embasing Mettalls if hee had his due Scout-master-Generall The whole Command of the Army in the hands of Sectaries or broken beggerly fellowes the Principles of the one and Necessitie of the other making them ready to act whatsoever their Masters shall command them Hewson a Colonell a Shoomaker a very Knave in his Trade as I am very credibly inform'd from some that have beene upon search in his Shop and very often taken away faulty Commodities Harrison a Poore Clerke now a Parliament-Man and Colonell of Horse had his Wife by a figure call'd Pr●ocupatio But that 's but Veniall with the Saints Pryde a Dray-man Colonell of Foot Okey a Taylor Colonell of Dragoon's If the chiefe Officers be such what then are the rabble And truely what will not such beggerly base dishonest fellowes doe to keepe themselves in a Condition whereby they may enjoy the fat of the Land the Pompe of the World the Accoutrements of the best Gentlemen in the Kingdome besides the Command they have over the poore Country-men where they Quarter Care is likewise taken that the Common-Souldiers may be instructed in their Erroneous Tenets To this purpose the chiefe Commanders get to their Chaplaines the most Haereticall Schismaticall Blasphemous men in the Kingdome Saltmarsh and Dell Hugh Peters Erbury These tell the Souldiers that they have and ought to have all P●●er in their hands and bid them not part with it 〈◊〉 have right to the goods of this Life but the Saints That the Saints are now stiled Independents Sectaries Anabaptists and the like That they have conquered the Propha●e-ones but they must also trample upon the Necks of all Carnall Gospellers that they the Saints may Reigne alone in the Earth That Synods and Parliaments have nothing to doe to medle in ma●ters that concerns God's Worship Thus Dell before Sir Thomas and Crumwell at Marst●●-Church in Oxford-Leaguer That the whole Scripture was not given by Inspiration of God Walwin Ritur at a Conference a hundred being present That Christ is not God neither dyed to satisfie for Sinne Erbury Hewson who saith the whole Army generally beleeve the same That the Soule is Mortall That the Lawes of the Land are not binding to them having Conquered their Conquerour Thus having beat downe all Lawes both Divine and Humane they have got a fit rout for the Acting of any Wicked Designe whatever and supposing they have but Two Parties in the Kingdome able to give them any considerable Opposition viz. the Kings Partie and the Citie from Killing the King which they call exceeding Justice upon whomsoever from Plundering the whole Kingdome destroying the Nobility and Levelling all Ranks and Distinctions
