when of Treason he accuses The House to try them legally refuses Can injur'd Majesty be pacifi'd When his demands so legal are deny'd For then the King with his sole Guard attended Came to the House thought to have apprehended The Traitors but alas the Kings intent Their absence purposely did then prevent All these are bad presages to suspect That some did Monarchy now dis-affect Such Symptomes have a dismal reference Into their thoughts inward malevolence Distempers will work out their malady Depress'd but not oppress'd such thoughts may be Like furious winds seeking their rage to vent

Till Aeolus do their retreat command Thus thoughts most turbulent till now supprest Enforce their way from many a factious breast Boldly their malice ' gainst the King they vent Ambitious of eruption and extent Conscience and councel must to power give way To teach the Crown the Gown now to obey The peoples priviledges to dissolve In Warre and Blood this Nation to involve Their Wills as laws on England to enforce Unto the Sword our Statists take recourse What stratagems had long time been projected Come to their birth and must be now effected Forces they raise yet under this pretence The House to Guard to be their own defence And Essex o're their new Militia bands By Order from the House in chief commands ☞ At this high time London the King forsakes And unto York his journey streight he takes From whence he certifies the Parliament That his resolves for Ireland were intent His presence would be a most Soveraign spell The Rebells minds to charme their force to quell To his victorious Ensignes he doth vow To make the proudest of such traitors bow And in pursuance of such high intents He in the North will raise some Regiments Which from Hulls Magazine all Arm'd must be For Ireland to attend his Majesty ☞ 'T was not the King then as some him bely That did obstruct from Ireland that supply That might those Rebels Armies have subdu'd And tam'd that Savage Popish multitude To York the Northern Gentry summon'd are To whom the King his purpose doth declare Commanding their attendance most obey With these the King for Hull streight takes his way Who to the gates with this Traine makes address ☞ But Hotham there denys his King accesse Requesting him not to demand what hee Cannot now grant without disloyalty To th' Parliament The King soon makes reply Our entrance good Sir John do not deny I shall passe by this your affront to mee And our admission shall excuse when wee To th' Parliament our next addresse shall make With Hotham this milde Rhetorick will not take Wherefore the King him stubborn Traitor calls And vows hee 'l hang him up upon those walls That his example may a terrour bee To all such haughty traiterous rogues as he Like to a stream whose shoure augmented force Scornes obstacles that may retard his course And with his swelling waters potent Tyde O're banks and all retards doth bravely glide Rowls down huge stones eradicates each tree That to his feircer current lets may bee So angers Tyde in the Kings minde swel'd high That him Hulls entrance Hotham should deny Especially he griev'd for Irelands grief By this depriv'd of his resolv'd relief Hotham he Traitor doth proclaim then make Warlick provision Hull by force to take Yet first complaints unto the Parliament Of this most bold affront the King had sent Wherein he Hothams Treason did decry Whom with his Act the States do justifie This more incens'd the King shall Hotham bee In his rebellion countenanc'd and hee Expos'd to such affronts he doth professe By dint

Logomachy The States bid Arme for them the King says no What shall the perplext dubious Vulgar do If Arme you must to void neutrality 'T is but your duty aid his Majesty Let not their vain pretences you dis-swade Still their pretext Rebells Religion made Whilst these transactions are in agitation The King for Hulls Siedge makes strong preparation Whither from York his march he now doth take
