exercised indeed their Donatistical and Anabaptistical frauds and fucies chiefly upon the vulgar to the ruine of many thousands of the Country people and Citizens But you like so many Ravilliacks are not content to have spoil●d so many Noble and flourishing Families to have exhausted so many plentifull Estates to have made so many mourning Widows and Fatherless Children to have destroyed the lives and sucked the blood of so many Christians your fellow-Subjects but you must in one day swallow up the two Houses of Parliament in another murther the King in a third cut off the right and inheritance of the Crown from the Undoubted Heir and all the Kings Children At last you conspire to tempt us all by your simple and foolish Paper falsly called The Agreement of the People to joyn with you in the utter overthrowing of our Laws Liberties and the whole frame of this antient and renowned Kingdom whose weight you will find too heavy for such weak Atlases as you will shortly appear both in Counsel and in Power who are only wise to doe wickedly and strong to shed or drink the bloud of your King and Country-men Your Cruelty hath fulfilled the wish of Caligula at one blow to cut off the head of three Kingdoms and with him all Monarchy to make way for your Polemocracy a Military Tyranny or Schismatical Anarchy Thus have you been profound to deceive skilfull to destroy our Souls faint within us because of such treacherous dealers such hideous Murtherers into whose snares the breath of our nostrils is fallen and in whose deep dissembling pits the Annoynted of the Lord our meek patient and most Christian King is swallowed up under the shadow of whose just Authority Princely wisdom and judicious piety we hoped to have been safe How doth this sometime famous and flourishing Kingdom now sit as a Widow oppressed desolate despised full of unexpressible lamentations The bitterness and gall of your cruel Hypocrisie hath entred into filled and overwhelmed our Souls How is she that was the Joy Crown and Queen of all Nations the Envy or Emulation of all Christian Churches now become the horror and astonishment of her Neighbours round about the pity and calamity of all her friends the scorn reproach hissing and triumph of all her Enemies Nor is there any helper comforter or Deliverer left till God take the matter into his own hands and plead the cause of the King and Kingdom against those proud Goliahs whose uncircumcised hearts and lips out of a riot and superfluity of wickedness have blasphemed our God destroyed our King laid waste and exhausted the Kingdom and turned this Church into a Den of Thieves O Lord arise O Lord consider O Lord hear the voice of our sighs tears and prayers let the cry of the blood of our King and our people come up to Heaven have mercy on us for we are brought very low Our gracious King the Husband of the Kingdom the Father of his Subjects the Pr●●erver of our Laws the Patron of Religion the Protector of the Church you have treacherously and barbarously murthered the two Houses of Parliament whose weakness perverseness unevenness inconstancy and cowardise God hath seen disliked judged and punished you have forcibly invaded scattered and oppressed notwithstanding all your special Engagements to them both of duty and promise commission and trust The loyalty and love of the people you every where either with terror and cruelty seek to suppress and smother so that they shall not dare to petition for redress or complain of those endless calamities which they suffer under your tyranny or else making lyes your hope and refuge with forged semblances of complyant Petitions and counterfeit Gratulations you falsly and impudently pretend the concurrent Votes of the Countreys and the Communities approbation to your most abominated practices When God knows and even your selves in your bloody dissimulation cannot be ignorant that the generality of all men in all places of all degrees doe from their Souls utterly abhor deprecate and detest your execrable Counsels and accursed Actions which have thus brought upon us the abomination of desolation through the damnable deceivableness of your unrighteousness Nor doe we believe that your pride and tyrannous hypocrisie either finds any comfort in them or much considers those papers which seem to own you or applaud your wicked deeds further than they may carry on your strong delusions with the vulgar whom you know to be neither very wary of evil nor very steady in what is good If you had the general Consent of the Vulgar which you know you have in no sort yet neither is their judgement any good rule to measure the Morality of your actions nor their inconstant pleasure any rest of honour vertue or piety But indeed you as well as we are sadly conscious that all those clamorous Petitions for Justice by which you would seem as by Oracles of your own inspiring to be fatally directed and divinely incouraged in your Cruelties and Treasons were nothing else but the strokes of the Lions own tayl the more to enrage himself the very froth and scum which arose only from the zealous activity and boylings of your own bloody Faction who restl 〈…〉 Devils continually go about seeking whom they may de●●i●e and destroy we are well assured that your Schismatical crew of Regicides are no more to be compared to the people of England than the Gleanings may be to the Harvest or Canters Thieves Beggars and Juglers to the sober and setled Dwellers in this Kingdom No every honest man who hath any sense of piety loyalty modesty pitty or humanity left in his Soul as you have none takes up Jacobs words against you Cursed beyour wrath for it is fierce and your anger for it is cruel Into the secrets of these men let not our Souls enter Lord lay not the guilt of the sins of these men to the Charge of the People of this Kingdom No let the blood of our pious patient and most Christian King be upon you and your Abettors for ever who as without any sense of Loyalty Pity or Charity so without any shadow as well as substance of Justice having neither Law Rule nor any due Authority first by Fraud and unheard of Insolency seized upon his Majesties person afterward by Flatteries Lies and Terrours sought to deceive him At last by meer Force and beast-like Crueltie have massacred and as so many horrid Assassinates utterly destroyed him And all this after many fawnings and shews of loyal and tender regard toward his Majesty and his Royal Family as both your first Proposals and your after Agitations honestly and very providentially discovered by Major Huntington do declare In which all men now plainly see that you did but make way by the Fox to let in the Wolf and by your Dalilah to bring the Philistims upon our Sampson Yea after his Majestie was not only entred into and advanced in a Treaty with the two Houses agreeable to their

spirit you break all ties and bonds casting Church and State into fire or water as the rash motions of your Frantick humors carry you c. Conscience you can have none since your lights are so Lunatick and your principles varie every moneth Credit you have none who have made bankrupt of the Publick Faith and forfeited so many solemn and Sacred Obligations to God and Man Sense of Honour or Duty you can have none since you have neither fear of God nor reverence of Man Estates you have little or none to hazard or lose upon any forfeiture of your Faith or Agreement And for your Heads and Lives they are now so vile and cheap that although you are not fit to live yet they are scarce worth the taking Sure you cannot but appear to your selves as well as to all men the most outlawed notorious and stigmatized Rebels the most perfidious Traytors that ever any King or Senate State or People imployed or trusted Having utterly blotted out all your former promeritings and good service so much boasted of Since the Event proclaims you served not King Parliament or Countrey but your own lusts and villanous designs which by the advantages of mutinous power you now seek to accomplish under the void and forfeited Commission of that stupid Saint that dumb shew of your silent extatick and seduced General who in so great a concern forgat his pristine valour and honour So that the darkning of your most wicked designs by this ti●le of The Agreement of the People amounts to no more in the true and last sense of it but this That you would have the People of England and the other two united Kingdoms willingly to bow down to your Hoddy doddy your all Breech-Idol as a Prophet of your own so variously and falsly inspired justly calls your unlick'd and monstruous projects not of Goverment but of Anarchy and Tyranny who may live indeed to see a day of judgement come upon you You would have us all to pledge you in that horrible draught of the Kings blood which you have greedily drank to appove and abet your execrable villanies and to submit for ever to the intollerable Tyranny of such Goths Vandalls and Saracens as you are Who are but the Devils Leieutenants Factors for the God of this impure World signal Anti-christs accurate fullfillers of all the characters foretold and brands set upon you in the last and perilous time in which true glass you and all men may clearly see the ugly lineaments of your most deformed faces and manners It is hoped that God hath yet so much mercy left in store for these sinful and by you most miserable Kingdoms as he gives us grace utterly to abhor your desperate sins So that we trust he will never suffer us by a Devillish Apostasie to fall from all Vows and Oaths by which we and our posterity are bound to God the Crown and our Countries only to have yours and the Devils absolution to make a Covenant and Agreement with Hell and Death with your most irreligious and damnable designs and practices No the sin and horrour of your waves are now like Absaloms incestuous and noon-day Rapes discovered in the sight of the Sun and all the World Nor will the subtilty of your soft and faigned voyces like Syrens any more charm and enchant the honest people of England into such Beasts and Monsters as your selves are to whose hellish deformities you would have all others to conform They have seen and felt too much already of your cruel Hypocrisies your devillish and strong Delusions Have not your words been alwayes Soloecisms to your purposes and your practices contradictions to your pretences Have you not as much as lies in your power and malice cast us into the dead Sea of disloyalty perjury cruelty barbarity irreligion and confusion that is possible for any Nation suddenly to relapse and fall into after so many Sacred and Solemn Professions of Loyalty and Reformation to God and the World whom we called to witness upon our Souls Agreeable to all which and to fill up the measure of our sins as if our Rebellion against God and the King were hitherto but a light and small matter by which we have most unhappily occasioned his death by the hands of cruel Edomites and cursed Amalekites as you are which most deplorable calamity to us and this Nation we penitently look upon as the severest temporal stroke which the wrath of God gone our against us can inflict upon us Yet your impudent Hypocrisie now seeks to obtrude upon us your wretched and abhorred Agreement The Sum of which is to leave the Kingdom without a King Government without Authority Magistrates without Power a People without Laws a Body without an Head Sheep without a Shephere Christians without Christ Churches without Ministers Ministers without Maintenance a Nation without Faith In a word you would have us live as men without Souls without God willfully degeneraring to Beasts without sense of Vertue or Vice shame or honour without fear of Hell hopes of Heaven or thoughts of Eternity and all this to maintain a few Tyrannous Hypocrites and Sodomitick Saints the cry of whose sins like Sodom is gone up to Heaven and are a burden too heavy for the Earth to bear Have you not already made the Name of these Protestant and Reformed Churches to stink among all Nations both Christian and Heathen through the dead flies and rottenness of your principles and manners Have you not surpassed the cunning and cruelty of the most Jesuitick heads and hands as much as you come short of their learning and pretensions which are to advance the Popes Authority above that of Kings But you upon baser Principles seek to subject the Regal Soveraignty to that of the People as you call it nor that you mean so in good earnest further than to delude the people and to raise the heads of your desperate Faction above all both King Prince Peers and People We appeal to all sober Christians whether your Treasons have not far surpassed the Powder Conspiracy Inasmuch as they plotted secretly but you have peracted openly the murther of the King the ruine of all the Royal Issue the overthrow of all our Laws the blowing up of all Parliaments the subverting of the whole State and Government the devastation of your Country the abolition of all true Religion the extirpation of all Liberty Peace Order and Humanity Your Elder Brother Faux himself might seem a Saint compared to you whose New Light and Dark Lanthorn you have so long made use of to hide and disguise your desperate intentions Nor were the rest of those Powder Traytors so criminal as you if they had effected what they designed since they neither pretended to that Saintship or that smooth preciseness which you have done nor had they upon them such signal ties of Publique and special Trust besides your many voluntary Obligations The total violation of all which renders your Sins out
