good a work By this time the Reader may give this account that any man of reason being 58 years of Age in this Year of Jubilee 1688. may demonstrate and make it plainly appear to others of younger dates that he has lived under Eight Governours and Governments viz. In the Reign of King Car. I. Car. II. James II. William and Mary and is truly called Monarchy then under the power and Tyranny of two persons Regalwise in respect they were single persons and had the power of Calling and Dissolving Parliaments making War and Peace to condemn or save guilty Malefactors Robbers and Rebels and indeed Oliver's power did much exceed that Authority which King Charles I. did take upon himself yet this Oliver and his short-Reign'd Successor Richard wanted the Crown the Royal Title of a King and were content to enjoy the Nomination of Protectors with this addition upon the Great Seal of England inscribed By Divine Providence c. He then was under the arbitrary will and disposal of Parliaments ends and pieces formerly called the Rump Parliament which in the last eight Years of King Charles I. were the sole Lords and Rulers of England raising War against their King and likewise great Funds of Money which was also raised by imposition of the first Excise of Ale and Beer in England and not only publick but every private House paid for all the Beer they brewed and consumed the Butchers in all places paid so much for a Cow or Heifer a Bull or Ox so much a Calf and also for Sheep and six pence in the pound for all Woollen Cloth that was made and fold and there was an imposition upon Salt and several other things in this Nation This Domus Communis for brevities sake Dom.
