of the World and enemies to Mankind who brought him also to his miserable End and it can and is now prov'd that the Jesuits had in that Trayterous and horrid murder a principal hand Quis Talia fando sustinet a lachrimis After this dismal Tragedy was over and we in the height of distraction and the Land in a Chaos of confusions estrang'd from peace and settlement God in Judgment remembred mercy and by his Miraculous Providence our blessed Prince like the glorious Sun after our dismal Nights and sharp winter of afflictions appeared in our Horizon to our almost distracting-joys receiving his People with open arms of Clemency to which his People ecchoed with all loyal expressions of grateful affections and duty our Government of Church and State establisht and we now in the apprehensions of peace and safety every man expecting to sit down under his own Vine and Fig-tree enjoying the fruits of his labours in which the Papist had more than an equal share through the Grace and Princely bounty of our King not suspecting their designs and they boasting themselves as his most loyal subjects Whilst they were in this unquestionable credit and all the severe Laws against them laid asleep infinite swarms of Jesuits Priests and Friers and all sorts of Orders like the Egyptian Plague of Locusts came in amongst us perverting the Kings Subjects contrary to Law compassing Sea and Land to gain Proselytes in which they have prov'd too successful and amongst those many hundreds seduced to lay their foundations sure they have rob'd our Nation of the most Heroick Victorious Prince next Apparent Heir to the Crown This we may remark as an infallible confirmation of their damnable Plot a Treason of the deepest dye never to be forgiven by any Protestant and a quarrel never to be reconciled they had wounded us in our several Members before but in this they stabbed us to the very heart and now it began to be fair day their designs obvious the ruin of King and Kingdom with all the artifice that Hell could secretly and cunningly contrive and had been as certainly executed had not the infinite mercy of God taken care of us unmaskt their designs and discovered their horrid Plot by the prudent faithful and unquestionable Informations of Dr. Oates Mr. Bedlow Dugdale and others who under God preserved the Life of our most Gracious King and with him our Lives Liberties Religion and all that 's dear to us for which faithful important service they deserve the best of Rewards here and their Names to be written in Characters of Gold Chronicled to posterity and though their serious and most congruous Evidences back'd with many most undeniable Circumstances have past an Examination by His Majesty and Council and by two Parliaments successively and lasty by all the Judges of the Nation in fair full and Legal Tryals confirmed and the Conspirators justly Convicted and brought to punishment yet such is the blinded wilfulness of many and the malicious Impudence of others that notwithstanding all and the Murder of brave Sir Edmundbury Godfrey to boot they would fain wash their hands in Innocency and are still playing their Game in new disguises imposing a belief upon the world that the danger lyes in the Dissenting Protestants but the Devil cannot detect them for one act of Disloyalty since His Majesties Restauration whilest you have been plotting all this while and wrought your designs into Treasonable Acts of all kinds and yet by the help of your Principles special Merits and Absolutions as innocent as the Child unborn But Sir these fig-leaves will not cover your nakedness you cannot catch English-men in Cobwebs nor can you and all your Popish Masquerado's dance in your Nets but you must be seen Noscitur ungue Leo the Devil is known by his Cloven-foot and your Characters are written in the flames of London and in indelible Characters of Blood which cry for judgment to Heaven against you Take heed therefore you that forget God Christianity and Morality lest he tear you in pieces and there be none to deliver you 't is not the least happiness that you are known to the world you cursed Jesuits What was your behaviour when you were banish'd Franc when you were expell'd the Venetian Territories and other States where they found you Firebrands that would have destroyed their Kingdoms and Commonwealths Who Murder'd the French Kings No Puritan no Godly party no honest Countrey man Phanatick Priests and Jesuits are principl'd for those Butcheries You are too well known by the bloody Colours and the Noble Cavalier that fought Conscienciously for his King found such ill success with you in the late War you robbing him of his Lawrel and of the due Rewards of his blood and sweat will never hand with you again All your wheadles will never g●●●●●●n from the Church of England nor make him insensible of the safety of his King nor less car●●●● of the Interest of England by well-Elected Parliaments neither shall all your false insinuations prevail to make the world believe That either our Parliaments or People would put down Bishops a Trick to put the design off your selves that you may better without suspicion do the wor●● no Sir we honour that Government and by Gods Grace will stand to it and revere our Grave and Learned Bishops whom we look at under God the best Bulwarks against your Tyrannies Popish Innovations The next thing he brings out of his Box is a new Shiboleth or a distinction betwixt the honest Countrey-man and Courtier and indeed there is a great difference for the honest Countrey-man is for the honour peace and safety of the King and Kingdom takes care and labours hard to get money to support the King and Government and this Courtier detested by all and comes under the reproachful distinction is a pernicious piece of Luxury a Drone a too-fac'd Janus that has crept into the Confines of the Royal Palace where he fawns and flatter till he has obtain'd so much countenance as can get him into some Trust and observing how the wind blows turns his Sails so readily that in time he dare attempt with Commendatory Letters an Election in some petty Burrough where he must drink away an honest Countrey Gentleman and by the strength of a publick Purse he is chosen by those pitiful S●ts that understand no other danger or advantage than the profit of the present Carowzing he is now return'd and sits having neither honour honesty nor estate necessary qualifications for the trust of others Lives and Estates his work is then to make up his stake by any device I cannot compare it better than to the practice of some Knavish Master of a Ship who being intrusted by his Owners with a goodly Ship and fraught with a valuable Cargo he having no part in either takes up on Bottom R●● as much money as ever his credit can possibly stretch to and having made up his Market the next best opportunity when

he can most colourably do it runs his Ship upon the Rock or Shelves where he may save himself but undoes his Merchants and Owners The Metaphor will hold as well with this Courtly Senator who will serve the French King for Crowns and sell his own Prince whose bread and favour supported his being and for a Pension betray the Lives Liberties and Religion of the three Kingdoms and is now known to the Kingdom by the name of Pensioner 'T is this Treacherous Crew of Court-Vermin we inveigh against and that we caution against in all our Elections but for all those men of Honour Wisdom and Integrity that are faithful to His Majesty and the Interest of the Kingdoms attending the Court we Love and Honour Therefore cease your Calumnious Aspersions and pack from amongst us The quarrel now is purely betwixt Protestant and Papist Since all must suffer together of what perswasion soever under the denomination of Protestant I think it concerns all to stand together and unanimously provide for our selves by all lawful means The chief of which and the only remedy under God is our Parliaments who like good Physicians purges away corrupt humours representing our grievances to the King providing Remedies for all our distempers and supporting His Majesty against all foreign and homebred enemies This as it is the great priviledg and birth-right of English men and is the bond of their safety if the best of men be elected to that great trust so if care be not taken to keep out Atheists Papists Pensioners and beggarly Prodigals that will snap at every bait your M●●●cine shall prove your Poyson and your Physicians your fatal Executioners Shut not the●●●●re your eyes nor stop your ears you see and understand enough by what is laid open 〈◊〉 ●ll matter of fact This design and devilish Plot has been long a g●●wing and now 〈…〉 is labouring in its great Crisis now is the time that all Hands Hearts P●●●●●● 〈…〉 are all little enough to succour in this deplored calamity Parliaments would 〈◊〉 ●●●covered the Plot offer remedies and some think with too much hearty zeal So that 〈◊〉 Parliaments are already Dissolved to the amazement of the Nation in this j●●ct●re 〈…〉 and 't is hard and strange we cannot be thought well with Parliament be they 〈…〉 neither can we be without them and these His Majesty graciously declares shall 〈…〉 Therefore Gentlemen and my dear Countrey-men in the Name of God and as you value the concern of the Gospel the honour life and safety of your Prince your Religion Lives Liberties and Estates take care now of your Elections as much or more than ever up and be doing and the Lord that hath hitherto preserved you will still deliver if you be not wanting to your selves in the use of those lawful means God has put into your hands I shall only add this necessary Advertisement That if Parliaments be frequent your danger will be so for by often dissolutions of Parliaments and your exp●ct●ion ●ot being answered you may thereby be discouraged grow negligent and so let your wa●ch●ul enemy have an opportunity to bring in their rotten Hirelings that will sell your birthright or any things to answer their hungry appetites The next danger is lest frequent Parliaments besides the trouble will bring on a frequent insupportable charge which those honest Gentlemen that deserve so great a trust cannot undergo the burden of and so be forc'd to desert you Therefore I humbly advise and heartily beseech you hear and pity the dying groans of your languishing Country it is but your reasonable service Nomo sibi nascitur partem patria partem Parentes partem Amici all are concern'd I address my self first to you the Electors the Principal great Ingine by which this mighty work must move let no discouragements make you weary but faithfully and duly attend your Elections and actively strive to raise all your Friends Acquaintance and Relations with you and make your choice of men fearing God and hating Covetousness men of Honour men of Honesty and men of Estates and then miss of a good Parliament if you can Next encourage those faithful Gentlemen of whose fidelity you have already had experience chuse them and that freely not charging them with a Penny that they may be still in a capacity to serve you without their ruine And you most worthy Patriots that have immortalized your names by your faithful discharging of your Trusts in Parliament let nothing discourage you but stand to and for your King and Country be not weary of well doing let not your hearts faint before you have fully wrought deliverance for the Kingdom your merits can never be forgotten for the memory of the just shall never fade Give God his due in maintaining his truths in our establisht Religion give Caesar his right in his Royal Prerogative and keep and maintain the peoples right as a sacred relique deposited in your hands and he that will break but one Link in this Golden-Chain let him be Anathema Maranatha Lift up then your heads brave English men let nothing daunt you mind well your Elections and then Pope and Devil do thy worst nothing but our own neglects and sins can undo us and it will be the greatest shame that we should be less active in so good a Cause to preserve our selves than the Enemy in a wicked one to destroy us FINIS
