Assembly The humble Petition of Aquaticus to A NEW ASSEMBLY prophetically Anagrammatized and called at their Anabaptisme in the River of Bowe MANY BLEW ASSES MAy it please you Religions learned and reverend Men fathers and brethren I cry your fatherhoods mercy if I miscall you I had the title from Fr Cheynells discovery one of the mad Fathers of your fraternity after so long sitting to no purpose So many Sermons and discourses writ in defence of this present Rebellion after so many encouragements of the Brownists in all their wild plunderings after so long 〈◊〉 to the prayers and prayers and sighes and prayers and prayers and Sermons of the Lady 〈◊〉 against the finall falling away of her Knight be pleased to remember your so often taken oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy not to be dispensed with all even by pope Calamy and pope Burges and be sure to take into your misunderstanding the established protestant Religion and because you intend to alter the Articles of the Church of England be sure first you send to your Deacon Sir Harry Vaine the younger to treat with the Reformed Churches that this may be done the Harmony of consessions not withstanding And because you intend to banish the Common prayer Book out of England because 't is popishly affected you were best also silence the use of the Lords prayer for the same reason because 't is found in the mass-Masse-book and Ladies Psalter besides 't is a set forme of prayer and therefore a stinter of the spirit and besides you and your disciples are resolved never to forget trespasses nor remember benefits And since you are upon the correcting the Creed for the cause sake which might be much prejudiced by the Opinion that there 's a Hell let the article of Christs descent for the word Hell's sake be strook out Furthermore because the lesuits make great use of your Schismes and Factions saying that you have more Factions then Conventicles more Religions then men be pleased in the next place to undertake the reconciliation of the Presbyterians and Independents the Sabbatarians and Covenanters with the Antinomians and Libertines the rigid Calvinists with the Socinians the protestation and Covenant with the oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance and last of all your selves with your selves a work of very easy Taske especially when the Houses shall recover their power from the Common-councell Furthermore I beseech you justifie your selves from the scandall of the Papists who say our Religion is but meerly Parliamentary and subject to translation for some politick turne every third yeare and for proof they urge the Lay Elders of the House of Commons a ruling part of your Conventicle and that you dare not think of any Religion but what they shall dictate to you Next I desire you to neglect the true staring of the question of 〈◊〉 and to consider whether this everlasting Parliament may not be rather proved to be jure divino from the example of the Iewish * Sanhedrim then this present Rebellion justified by the example of David and that you would also furnish the Brethren and the 〈◊〉 of the Philistim-writers against Dr Fearne with better arguments and answers or else wholly to suppresse them for this is the Iesuites policy whose foot-steps you follow though you goe back wards lest the people reading the Doctors arguments though mangled and abused in their Pamphlets should at last be undeceived Lastly I desire you to state the question affirmatively that the same person may be a Clergy-man and Lay-man at the same time because otherwise me thinkes Mr Marshall and Mr Nye could not be admitted of the Close Committee nor employed in Embassage to Farraigne States because a late act this Parliament forbids Clergy men to intermedle in secular affaires and if they were Lay-men only me thinks your grave Fatherhoods would exclude them the pulpit at Margarets And because you are never like to find Scripture or Reason or Fathers to perswade your Religion I beseech you to consider of setting the Inquisition up in London which is already made feasible by the mercifull dealing of the Committee for Religion Mr. Burton is able to justifie it from Scripture and Mr Prinne will establish it by Law and Mr St Iohns shew a President for it out of the Records in Lowlards Tower And because you are not to determine any thing but what is resolved at the Close Committee and they at this present have more weighty affaires to consider of then Religion be pleased at this your leasure because you have little else to doe and you must not go forward with the notes upon the Bible to write a weekly comment upon Britanicus that men may the better understand his hidden wit or else instead of confuting the lesuits pray undertake in his behalf the confutation of Aquaticus And because studying and long prayers especially disputations in Moode and figure will extreamly wast your spirits and haften your death to the eternall losse of ignorance and Faction the parents of this zealous Rebellion be pleased to take a Dose of this Cordiall Fasting It will preserve your braine and lungs and keep you from the danger of the Plague plaister or the infection of an Answer from Oxford to your grave determinations Pray send the Bill to Mr Pyms Apothecary who will very carefully compound it R.
