A51719	A discovery, or Certaine observations, concerning the crafty and cursed proceedings of the conspirators, or rebbells of England against their owne King, Queene, church, government, then established; to wit 1639. And the liberty, peace, fafety [sic], & quiet-beeing, of that our nation, and other kingdomes thereunto belonging. By whom the people of other nations have beene also cheated and troubled. Observed by J. M. whose hart hath for many yeares together mourned in secret, for the calamity by the sayd rebbels, brought upon his owne, and other nations.	J. M.	1657 (1657)	Wing M35; ESTC R217014	62,961	63

beware of Intangling your selves with such Rebbells So shall you by the blessing of the Lord preserve your lives and Estates long in peace O you that may doe good against the Oppressors doe it quickly and with your Might For there is no worke nor devise nor knowledge nor Wisdome Eccles 9.10 in the grave whether you goe Now consider what I say and the Lord give you vnderstanding to doe that which is good For what can it profit a man 2. Tim. 2.7 though he should devide the spoyle with them or bee inriched by brybes or gaine the whole world Mark 8.36 and loose his owne soule Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soule Let not him that is or may bee deceaved trust in vanity for vanity shall bee his recompence and the congregation of hypocrits shall bee dissolate and fier shall consume the Tabernacles of bribery They conceave mischiefe Job 15.32.34.35 and bring forth vanity and theyr belly prepareth deceat Wherfore I say againe beware of doggs beware of evill workers beware of the Conspirators of England and so I humly take my leave for this time SIR and SIRS It is not for any thing that I have lost of my owne in England though I have suffered enough elsewhere but it is chiefly to disburden my Conscience of what I have yet to say By this the world may observe that the Vsurpers of England have by violence removed such as were in power so that no Justice can bee done by them though they were lawfully called to the Government neyther will the Conspirators them selves relieve the Oppressed by Justice though they bee earnestly sought vnto To doe any thing that is good they have neyther will nor courage But theyr study is onely for evill and mischiefe wronge and opression and that continually as may apeare out of what is before mentioned namely the complaint which I made to the Protector of the Army and some others in England in March last Therefore it is of great necessity that all men take speciall heed of these slye secret and cunning deceavors because they by misleading and seducing the people of England within it selfe so by forms and showes of hollynesse as by plausable and faire pretences of indeavoring that Justice and Judgment may take place just like Absolom 2. Sam. 15.2.3.4.5.6 Who seemed to bee Religious as they doe vers 7. But it was to Conspire against the King and the Kingdome as the Rebbels of England have done Then of a sudden they set them selves against such as by the providence of God and the favour of the King and the Law of the Land were set over them First by notorious slaunders in private against such as were farre more honest and Emenent then any of them selves Secondly in a more open and Impudent maner they stird vp many of the meanor sort of people to bee contentious and envious like vnto them selves To wit the Absoloms and the Achithophells against those who it had pleased God to set over them so that theyr very name and savour stanke in the nostrills of all that first discovered theyr cursed plottings Thirdly they have most grosly sedused and beguyld all other Protestants abroad in other Nations yet to my owne knowledge many whereof namely of severall other nations are neyther Cheats Theeves Juggelors nor busy bodies as the Rebbells of England and some of Schotland are as they for many years together have been Yet like Rabshekahs with bould whorelike faces they adresse or assotiate themselves with all Protestants who are Godly harmles at home abroad as if there were no difference betweene the good Protestants of other Contryes that Generation of Tyrants Theeff Murderors in England yet by their fauning colloging together with theyr Lies they have mis-informed and corrupted the mindes of such as would tremble to thinke of doing such things as the Rebbells of England have done yet the mallice of them have caused the other that is to say some Protestants abroad for to Judge amisse of those who are fare more Righteous and harmlesse then any of those who are full of all subtilty by whom to the great greefe of my hart many Protestants of other countryes have beene mis-informed and deceaved I dovnfainedly acknowledge my selfe to bee a Protestant but my faith is not strong enough to beleeve that the name of a Protestant can Justify mee before God if I conspire eyther against Catholickes or Protestants for to murder them or to take away theyr Good Names or Estates all which the Rebbells of England have by fraude and violence done to both and which is worsse to my sorow I finde my selfe to be past hope ever to see any remorce or amendement in the sayd conspirators who accustome them selves to contrive and delight in mischiefs Who cause strife and debate between frind and frind Isai 58.4 betwixt Parents and Children and betwixt Man and Wife Who fast for strife and debate and to smite with the fist of wickednesse Vers 6. The fast that I have chosen saith the Lord is to loose the bands of wickednesse to vndoe the heavy burden and to let the opressed goe free and to breake every yoake But the Rebbells of England by fraud and strong delusions have Murdered their betters with their tounges and wicked hands and taken away the Estates from the fatherlesse and the Widdows vnlesse some small matter they leave to some yet hardly so much as will keepe them alive in regard of the quallety in which they have formerly lived and by the helpe of their hypocritecall Army who have beene instructed and bred by seditious Parents and by some other factious famelyes as by some scismaticall Ministers who for their bellys and filthy lucers sake Rom. 16.18 and by creeping or sneaking into houses have by faire speeches or fanning words deceaved the harts of the simple Where they were not able to seduce men they would cast in theyr poyson where they found silly women who by them were leade away captive 2. Tim. 3.6 such as were laden with divers lusts and by their meanes become contentious against their husbands And these sedusors and their followers are they who have constantly and wickedly incouraged and aplauded the sayd Army who like Doeg the Edomite serve the Conspirators even as Spyes and Informors against the peaceable and tender harted men of England 1. Sam. 22.9.18 whose consciences serve them not to bee Rebbells against their lawfull King and Nation because their soules abhorre it and so doth mine And by the help of the said Armye have Crumwell and his consorts murdered the Fathers and the Pillers of our country vpon whom vnder God the peace and prosperity of England rested And by whose Industrons care the lives liberties and Estates of our Nation of all degrees were in safety 1.

By this meanes God will make you able to quensh and resist all the fiery darts of the wicked Fphes 6.6 to the end It is needfull that all Righteous Princes doe often consider the Example and Resolution of one of the best Kings that ever was in the worlde not onely to Read but vvarily and seriously consider how exactly David resolved concerning those who should serve him or not come in his sight Psal 101. included in the five last verses The carefull practise of this will cause you and all Righteous Princes to finde favour with God and all good men vvhich vvill bee a meanes to make Spyes or men vvho have evill Intentions of them selves or sent by others shortly more and more to absent them selves from the presents of all such Princes Otherwise it vvill bee hard to vvithstand theyr odarious bouldnesse vvho are now adayes growne more shamelesse then those were in the time of Ahashueros the King For though Hamons Wife and all his Friends were so wicked as to advise him at his Complaint tolet a Gallows be set up to hang Mordicai fifty Cubits high yet vvith all they wished himselfe to speak vnto the King for his consent by which it seems they were not so Impudent as to send swarms of Rascallity of theyr owne adherence 1. To the House of Commons 2. vnto the House of Peares as the Rebbels of England did by threatnings to force them to passe a Bill against the Life of the Lord Liftenant of Yreland 3. who presently after pressed into the Kings owne House by force against his will by shamelesse importunity got his Majesty to Signe the same against Lavv Custome or Equity for the taking away of the Life of so Noble a Person to wit the Earle of Strafford to the great griefe of the King himselfe and against his vvill This vvas in the yeare 1641. to the sorrow of many of the Nation Much-lesse did Hamon Esther 5.14 or any of his Party presume or intende to take away the Life of Mordica 2. Kings 2.32 or any of the Iewes vvithout the consent of that King as the fayd Rebbels did after that by the Lord Arch-Bishoppe of Canterberry the Lord Caple the Earle of Darby SIR Charles Lucas and many others of our Nation 2. Sam. 3.39 who were more Righteous and better then themselves Wherefore I pray as sometimes King David did the Lord reward the doers of such evill according to their wickednesse because thereby our present King is weake though a Righteous annoynted King because the Vsurpers of England are as yet too mighty for him meerely by Reason of the differences between other Princes procured or continued by the Contention sowen or occasioned by Crumwell and some of his party As may partly apeare by that innocent bloud which was shed in Portingall who were the occasion that nation Revolted from the King of Spaine as was mentioned by the Portingall Ambassador vnto them selves in England not many yeares since whereof I have beene credeably informed For though the Rebbellion in England was not then in its full strength and Rigour yet there was a resolution thereof in many of the Conspirators longe before as by the helpe and the providence of the Lord shall more fully hereafter appeare Therefore in the behalfe of God Allmighty who some times taketh the wicked in their craftynesse 1. Cor. 3.19 For the Wisedom of this world is foolishnesse with God For it is written he taketh the wise in their owne craftinesse I doe humbly Intreat your Majesty the Nobillety and Godly Cleargy and all the good people of France as all other Righteous Princes Republicks States and Citys at home and abroad That they would bee pleased seariously to consider the sad condition of our present King and of all his Fathers house Psal 11.3 For if the foundations bee destroyed what can the Righteous doe And therfore I vse parte of the words of Mordica vnto Esther the Queene Namely 2. Pet. 2.2 If you doe the will of the Vsinpers afore said and let them goe on in these their pernisious wayes Thinke not with your selves that you or your good people Esther 4.14 shall scape free or speede better then those of our owne and so many other Nations hath done already to wit England Scotland Ierland Portingall the Vnited Provinces of the Netherlands and Spaine All these can witnesse by experience what kinde of Apostels or Saints these Conspirators of England are Neither doth it stand with their condition or safty to leave off this theyr trade as longe as they live for feare least theyr owne doggs or Adherance should plucke the pray out of their teeth and breake theyr jaws in peeces It will bee the wisedome of all them which are not satisfied to search out the trueth of all this like as Jobe in the like case Job 29.17 vers 16.17 saith of himselfe Because I delivered the poore that cryed and the Fatherlesse and him that had none to helpe him the cause that I knew not I scarced out therfore the blessing of him that was

Chron 28.6 As for himselfe and the rest of his Leadors who are Arch-Rebells it seemes they are the sons of Beliall 1. Sam. 2.12 or like the sons of Ely who know not the Lord. Wherefore I counsell your Majesty to take heed in time least they lay stumbling blocks in your way Numb 31.16 as Balaam the Sorceror was vnto Israëll Balaam taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the Children of Israëll to doe that which offended God Revel 2.14 for which they were punished Therefore Remember O King and people of France and all others high and low at home and abroad whose hope is in the God of trueth and that doe tremble at his word Remember what Balack King of Moab consulted and what Balaam answeared Micah 6.5 that you may Remember the Righteousnesse of the Lord. Consider seriously the mallitious councell of Ahi●●phell to Abselom to an vngratious Son against so good and so Godly a Father as King David was who contrived a difference so foule even past hope of reconcilement purposed to make the King out of measure odious vnto all his people 2 Sam. 16.21 by defiling his Fathers Concubines in the sight of the Son that all might see it with an intent to make David to abhorre Abselom and that all Israëll might deride David beyond all possibillity or hope of any agreement So have the Rebbells of England sought by all meanes possible to make the people abhorre their Gratious King and Queene and such others as were faithfull in the Land and more Noble and Righteous then any of the sayd Rebbells How that they devised wicked devises not only to smite with the tongue the King and the Queen but also the Lords of Canterberry Strafford Caple and many others who had done no wrong to King nor people Jerem. 18.18 but their duty onely to which they were inioyned by the Law of the Land Then sayd they Com let vssmite him with the tongue and let vs not give heed to any of his words I had almost forgot the behaviour of that Generation of Separats towards the Duke of Buckingham and his mother with Doctor Lambe I am loath to foule so much paper and trouble the Reador with so many Lyes as they devised and devoulged for many yeares together both within and without the Kingdom of England purposly to make all people to abhore them because it pleased God to give the Duke favour in the eyes of both the late Kings of England In so much that I my selfe hearing daily the extreame slaunders which was contrived and broached against them by these foule-mouthed and shamlesse people was almost perswaded that It was true that was reported of them and I I was so farre deluded that I thought that whosoever should destroy them would doe God and the Country good servis But afterwards I came to vnderstand that it was nothing else but the mallice of such who had seduced many young and other people vnto divers sects or newe and strange Religeons by the helpe of whom Crumwell and his Consorts hath murthered many who were blamelesse and harmlesse of severall degrees of people both by Sea and Land who were without rebuke Phil. 2.15 in the middest of a perverst generation who did shine as lights in the Land and after that the Duke and Lambe were tyrannically murdered by lude fellows with wicked hands without any forme of Judgement Act. 2.23 Next they fell vpon the Bishop of Canterberry with intollerable back-bitings and Revileings saying First That he did intend to make the Land Popish Secondly That he could not preach himhelse Thirdly That he persecuted Godly Ministers because it was his office to punish such as stird vp the people to rebellion Fourthly That the Pope had sent him a Miter from Roome which the Conspirators it seems had made them selves pretended they found it in a shippe at the Custom-house at London so reporting it that there was an agreement betweene the Pope and him that he should Raine as Pope in England Fiftly when they caused him without any Law or Justice to be apprehended in the time of the second Parlement as they called it that they might collor theyr owne mallicious designes against him they pretended that he did indeavour to make his eskape vnto that end hee had a suit of Freez brought him that thereby hee might the better eskape without any notice being taken of him Sixtly that the sayd Lord Bishop of Canterberry did accuse the Lord of Strafford who was also a prisonner and whom also they did intend to murder that the sayd Earle of Strafford Lord Liftenant of Ireland was the cause of drawing the sayd Bishoppe into his troubles And that the sayd Earle should say That the Bishop was the cause of his troubles And that one or both of them should curse the day that ever they knew one another and that in reveyling tearms they should accuse one the other as it was reported by the Conspirators or their Adhearence These notorious slanders they have not bene a shamed for to bring or to let come in print for to make those innocent persons exceeding odious to all people to the end that few or none should question the cause or the Reason of theyr taking away theyr lives But theyr designe was onely to murder them because they were faithfull to God the King and the Country each in his severall places whereunto they were lawfully called Being both men of exellent Learning Levit. 19.15 and Wisedom courageous not fearing the persons of the mighty They were men fearing God and scorning Bribes I observed that one of the greatest causes of the inveterate mallice of his enemies against him Exed 18.21.22 next vnto his being an enemy vnto rebellion was that hee would not suffer the meanor so●e of people to bee opprest by the mighty and which were vnder his

Priests of the Lord that hee would have betrayed and murdered though some refused it when time was yet hee should not want such as would doe it so long as Crumwells Army is in armes in England neither did Innocence deliver those in whom it was found neither persons of High or Low degree who perished by the hands of a company of villans and Tyrants though Innocent faithfull and blamelesse 1. Sam. 22. from the 13. to the 20. vers These troubellors of Christendom hath sent away many a thousand of our finest jong men as well of sea-men as others and jounge Children of honest parents as it is reported both of late and long agoe by spirits of the Rebbells Adherance and by the meanes and consent of the Conspirators some were slayne and others never returned againe And some were hanged because they refused to beare armes against their King and against their owne Consciences Not onely by the power of the Rebbells at home but vnder the command of foraine Princes abroad who by the Rebbells were sent away as captives even as carried away by the Turkes in time of warre And now their Army which consists of home-bred vermon by whose meanes all this and much more evill hath beene donne vnto out King and Nation who are shamlesse busi-bodyes 1. Tim. 14.1 as well as seducing spirits and doe harden their faces as it were with steele as apeares by their bould Intrusion and their dogg-like Lurking not only in Germany and all the Neatherlands and many other places where Godly Protestants doe reside But even in Catholicke Contries and they have the Impudence to come into the Court of their owne King though they have murdered his Father and forced his Majesty out of his owne Dominions And they pretend to bee Prophets and say they are sent and I beleeve they are sent by Crumwell or some of his prime Creaturs they say as Prophets but I suppose as Spies Wherefore I humbly and earnestly intreat your Majesty the King of France Zach. 13.4 and all good Christians high and low to beware of these false Prophets of Crumwells Army or others of his creatures though they should come vnto you in a ruffe garment 4. Cor. 11.14.15 or in sheeps clothing or how ever they may hyde their teeth disguise or transforme them selves yet I am sure it will not be easy for them to remove their ravening and wolfe-like harte Therefore it is Requisite that you bee very circumspect how you have to doe with Crumwell or any of his Impes I say remember their former fruits and take heed in time least when it is too late you wish that you had taken the advise of him who desiers the continuation of your honour peace and safty These fellows doe find them selves to bee counted as dung or as so many stinking karings and therefore are abhored by their owne and other nations which makes them continually vigelent day and night to aply them selves vnto the arte of subtilty for to make parties for them selves amongst your people and others by corrupting their minds by Lyes and other deceavings which will prove litle to the comfort of you and your friends at the last It is not for any profit or reward that I have receaved from your Cuson the King of England neither doth hee take any more notice of mee then of the meanest person in all the world neither doth hee know this day the least of my Intentions for his Majesty and his Fathers house Yet I cleave vnto the Lord our God and vnto all such who are opressed by vsurpers But I abhorre the pollicy and the procedings of those who are in combination with the devill But of this by Gods assistance more at large hereafter In the meane time trust not in lying words which cannot profit abhorre those that steale murder sweare falsely and yet stand in the house that is called by the name of the Lord.

No more would Crumwell nor his Companions vers 3.4.5.6.7.8 if the feare of God had been in them as it was in Obadiah I could name Daniell and many others who were opprest yet Innocent men chose rather to suffer then to sti●●e up Rebbellion in the Kingdome Also much may be sayd of Symon Magus Act. 13.8.10 Elymas and Alexander the Copper-Smith but Crumwell and his Companions exceeds them all Therfore I say of them 2.
