S. for Tho Jenner at the South-entrance of the Royal Exchange 1652. 1 IN the first year of King Charles his Reign a Parliament being called at Oxford two subsidies were granted no grievances removed but the said Parliament soon dissolved 2 The sad effects which the dissolution of this Parliament produced were the losse of Rochell by the unhappy help of Englands Ships 3 The diversion of a most facile and hopefull war from the West-Indies to a most expensive and succelesse attempt on Cales 4 The attempt on the Isle of Ree and thereby a precipitate breach of peace with France to our great losse 5 A peace concluded with Spain without consent of Parliament contrary to a promise formerly made to the Kingdom by King James a little before his death whereby the cause of the Palatinate was altogether most shamefully deserted by us 6 The Kingdom suddenly billetted with Souldiers and a concomitant project set on foot for Germane Horses to force men by fear to fall before arbitrary and tyrannicall taxations continually to be laid upon them 2 Parliament 7 The dissolution of a second Parliament at Westminster in the second year after a declarative grant of no lesse then five Subsidies and the sad issues that flowed to the Kingdom thereupon 8 As first the violent exacting from the people that mighty sum of the 5 Subsidies or a sum equal to it by a Commission for a Royal Loan 9 Many worthy Gentlemen imprisoned and vexed that refused to pay it 10 Great sums extorted by Privy Seals and Excises and the most hopefull Petition of Right blasted 3 Parliament 11 A third Parliament called and quickly broken in the fourteenth year of the King the best Members clapt up close prisoners denied all ordinary and extraordinary comforts of life and so that Paliament was dissolved 12 Opprobrious Declarations published to asperse the proceedings of the last Parliament yea Proclamations set out to those effects thereby extreamly to dis-hearten the Subjects yea and plainly forbidding them once to name a Parliament or to desire them any more 13 Whence immediatly gushed out the violent inundations of mighty sums of money got by that strange project of Knight-hood yet under a colour of Law 14 The most burthensome Book of Rates the unheard of Taxation of Ship-money the enlargement of Forrests contrary to Magna Charta the injurious taxation of Coat and Conduct money the forcible taking away of the Trained-Bands Arms Ingrossing Gunpowder into their hands in the Tower of London 15 The destruction of the Forrest of Dean which was sold to Papists whence we had all our Timber for Shipping 16 Monopolies of Sope Salt Wine Leather and Sea-Coal yea almost of all things in the Kingdome of most necessary and common use 17 Restraint in Trades and Habitations for refusall of which foresaid heavy pressures many were vext with long and languishing suits some fined and confined to prisons to the loss of health in many of life in some some having their houses broken open their goods seized on their studies or closets searched for writings books and papers to undo them some interrupted also in their Sea-Voyages and their Ships taken from them 18 The crushing cruelties of the Star-Chamber Court and Councel Table where the Recorder of Salisbury was greatly fined for demolishing the Picture of the first person in the Trinity in their great Cathedrall 19 Thus far for the miseries of the Common-wealth Popish Ceremonies Romish Innovations and such like other outrages of the Arch Prelate of Canterbury and his Prelaticall Agents and Instruments over the whole Kingdom in matters of Religion divine worship and spirituall cases of conscience 20 Additions in the Oath administred to the King at his first Inauguration to the Crown by the Arch-Bishop 21 Fines imprisonments stigmatizings mutilations whippings pillories gagget confinements and banishments yea and that into perpetuall close imprisonments in the most desolate remote and as they hoped and intended remotest parts of the Kingdome Mr Burton Mr Bastwick Mr Prin. 22 The ruinating of the Feoffees for buying in of Impropriations and the advancing to Ecclesiasticall Livings Arminians silencing with deprivations degradations and excommunications almost all the most pious Pastors over the Land whom they could catch in their snares and all this under a pretence of peace unity and conformity 23 Printing Presses set open for the Printing and publishing of all Popish and Arminian Tenets but shut up and restrained from Printing sound Doctrines 24 Nay not only thus lamentably molested in England but attempted the like in Scotland indeavouring to impose upon them New Liturgie and a Book of Canons 25 They refusing of them were called and counted Rebels and Traytours yea so proclaimed in all Churches in

by force of Arms inforcing their own peace 28 A first pacification being then made by the King and some of his Nobility and ratified under hand and Seal 'twixt them and the Scots yet was it shortly after quite broken off by the Arch-Prelat of Canterbury and the E. of Strafford and burnt by the Hangman at the Exchange 4 Parliament 29 A fourth Parliament was thereupon shortly after called again by those complotters means but to a very ill intent and another Parliament summoned also at the same time by the Earl of Strafford in Ireland both of them only to levy and procure moneys to raise another
