The next I shall bring upon the stage is Mr. Iohn Pym a man preferred to a great Office of trust and of much gain under the King But so soon as he became a Member of the Long Parliament he proved so active in traducing the King that he was the principal of those five against whom his Majestie demanded justice a man so bitter and invective in his malice towards the Earl of Strafford that knowing how much he was beloved of the King and that whatsoever evil could be conceived against him would reflect upon His Majestie he first with invective Orations poysoned the greater part of the House and the seditious vulgar with a conceit against the good King his Master then never left profecuting the Earl till he had brought his head to the block And now finding how Scelera sceleratioribus tuenda that great crimes committed cannot be safe but by attempting greater he secretly complies with the Scots to raise an Army to assist him and the rest of his seditious Compeers against his Majestie But the King having full intelligence both of his own and his Partners practices against him laboured to bring them to a legal tryal whereupon to save themselves they take Sanctuary in the City and in short space so corrupted the Citizens that they first drew them and afterwards the whole Kingdom to engage themselves in a desperate Civil War against their lawful Soveraign But though his Majesties hand was then too weak to fetch him out of his guarded palace to condign punishment yet the hand of the Almighty who is the Lord of Hosts as he raised up a great Army though composed of little Creatures Rats and Mice who devoured Pepiel the second King of Poland Anno 830. for treacherously poysoning of his Uncles and those worms that destroyed Herod the King so he caused infinite swarms of Lice to seize upon this strong Rebel who eat him up alive that he might do no further mischief against his Anointed Hamden The like judgement fell upon Colonel Hamden who for his disloyalty to his King was shot to death upon the same plot of ground where he first mustered his Souldiers against the King Alderman Hoyle As also upon Thomas Hoil late Major of York and a Member of the long Parliament a bitter enemy against his Prince and one who had a great hand in his death for which Cromwel caused him to be rewarded with Sir Peter Osborns place viz. Treasurers Remembrancer in the Exchequer valued at 1300 l. per annum who on that day twelve moneths that the King lost his life made a Bonfire for joy he was beheaded but on the same day twelve moneths after miserably hanged himself Oliver Cromwel But I must not here forget the Arch-Machiavilian Rebel and prodigious Monster of men Oliver Cromwel who adding strength to the wings of his ambition soared an Eagles height and striving by a grasp of the Scepter to enoble his Name and Family to posterity resolved to put on the purple Robes of Majestie though deep-dy'd in the blood of his Soveraign to whom he had sworn allegiance and stood engaged by many solemn oathes and horrid execrations upon himself and his Family to preserve and re-settle in his Throne Nevertheless contrary to all his former protestations and promises he treacherously caused the King to be kept close Prisoner in Carisbrook Castle where he plotted with Rolf to have him secretly made away though afterwards he was publiquely murthered And that he might palliate the breach of his Faith Vows and Allegiance to his Soveraign he by a printed Declaration makes God the Author of his wickedness affirming he could not resist the motions of the Spirit which would not suffer him to keep his word with the King or let his Conscience rest quiet till he had taken away hife life Thus Sua cuique Deus fit dira libido This Hob-goblin serves all turns and Oliver was so perfect a Juggler that he had got the right knack of Pulpit canting so as it is was easie for him under this mask of Religion that old stalking-horse of Rebellion by deceiving the ignorant sort of people up to exalt himself up to the usurped Throne of his Martyred Prince Into which he was no sooner entered but this Ioshua of the Saints was prayed for in every Conventicle and a day of general Thanksgiving for his enstallment appointed to God I think for his patience in not striking this Atheistical Tyrant with Thunder and Lightning for making him a stale to his premeditated villanies But God permitted not this Son of Belial to raign long in his cruelties but speedily cut him off by a miserable and tormenting sickness which caused him two days
