Turpe est Doctori cum culpa redarguit ipsum Parve nec invidio sine me liber ibis in urbem Hei mihi quòd Domino non licet ire tuo OXFORD Printed in the Yeare 1647. To the Reader Vouchsafe to read and then iudge TO avoid all misunderstanding and lest I may seem in some weake mens apprehensions by this unexpected Comparison or Comparitive justification of the King absolutely to justifie the King and condemn the whole Parliament I conceive it expedient to prefix this Epistle for the information of all men concerning my selfe and my meaning in this matter As I never hated my King which God forbids So I alwayes honoured and adhered to the Parliament as the supreame judicatorie and chiefe conservatorie of the lawes rights and liberties of the land I am neither Priest or Jesuit Malignant Delinquent or Papist but one who have ever loved the truth and the republique and have exposed my selfe as can be testified as freely and as farre as any whatsoever for the preservation and promotion of both under the Parliament And this my Comparison doth no more justifie the King de facto or condemne the Parliament in toto then Christs upbraiding of Chorazin and Bethzaida with Tyre and Zidon and Capernaum with Sodome and the Scribes and Pharisees with common Harlots Publicans and Sinners doth justifie Tyre and Zidon Sodome and Common Harlots Publicans and Sinners and condemn Chorazin and Bethzaida Capernaum the Scribes and Pharisees For I am not ignorant that there are a company the which the Lord preserve and multiply of faithfull and upright men in the Parliament who ever shall have my heart and hand whose ends and endeavours are wholly to set up the Gospel in the power of it to doe right to their King and to discharge their trust to the Kingdome in seeing iustice impartially executed and our lawes and liberties established according to their Oath taken at their entrance the duty of their place and the Protestation But there is a party or faction in the House of Commons the heads of which I have named of false ambitious deceitfull coveteous heady high minded-men whose ends are their owne opulency and greatnesse and our indigency and vassalage who like the sons of Zerviah are too hard for them for these ill kind of men by their cunning craftinesse doe deceive and seduce the Maior part of the House of Commons to assist in their destructive counsells and votes and by this meanes overpower the honest and upright in the discharge of their duties but the Lord hath said that he will reward the evill doer according to his wickednesse 2 Sam 3.39 And the discovery of these mens the causers and contrivers of all our troubles deep Hypocrisie and hatefull treachery to the too long oppressed and abused free people of England is all my scope and purpose having principally therein no other end of advantage then Gods glory the good of his people and the preservation and freedome of my native Country which at present is over whelmed in confusion and misery that the secret and inward enemies thereof as well as the open and publique which doe now only impede the accomplishment of our settlement and tranquillity may be detected depressed and taken out of the way that so the parliament may be rectified and preserved intire and upright in its Power the good therein strengthned and incouraged and our lawes and liberties established and kept inviolate So shall iustice run downe in our streets as streames and righteousnesse as great waters Read therefore considerately consider seriously iudge impartially and improve all thy power interest and parts accordingly for the suppressing the wickednesse of the wicked and advancing of righteousnesse and truth within this our land In which I shall be ever willing and ready who acknowledge my self Gods and my Countryes and thine if thou art theirs Amon Willbee Prima Pars.
