forth your merit before the people Remember your selves or shal we remember ye which of you before this Parliament minded any thing so much as your pleasures plaies masks feastings buntings gameings dancings c For what other have you been but a meer clogg to the House of Commons in all their proceedings how many necessary things have ye obstructed how many evil things have ye promoted And in another Pestilent Pamphlet 't is affirmed f See Remonstrance of many thousands p 7. that the Lords must stand to be chosen for Knights and Burgesses by the people as other the freemen and gentry of this nation are Yea there is another seditious Book intituled An Al-arm to the House of Lords which contains in every page of it railing against the Peers of the Realm g See the book intituled an Al-arm to the House of Lords the several passages would be too tedious for you to read or me to write let this suffice to let you see the endeavours of the Sectaries to overthrow and alter the very foundamentals of the government of the Kingdom now least you should imagine that this spirit of dis-affection to the House of Lords should be confined only within the breasts of the unknown Authors of these seditious books it is meet I should let you know that this malignant humour runs as blood throughout the veines of all the Sectaries when the Sectaries in and about London Petition 't is only to their own House of Commons they never take notice of the Lords House at all witness that factious Petition from Lambes Congregation and another Petition from the Sectaries of London delivered to the House of Commons by that Turn-coate Samuel Warner Tichbourn and others in opposition to the Renouned Remonstrance of the City which was humbly presented to both Houses but their seditious Petitions but only to the House of Commons By this it appears that destroying the Lords House is the 2. Design driven on by the Sectaries Ye nobles all be ware a fall The Brownists do against you brawl They say you shal not sit an houre If th' upper House yeeld not to th' lower To cut off the King if he sides not to the Independent party 3. Design 'T is true of late they seem to appear for him to gain Malignants on their side but 't is notoriously known how their Principles are directly against Monarchy What desperate speeches have some Independent Members uttered against the King yea it wil never be forgotten how inraged the Independent Members of the House and Sectaries of London were against the City Remonstrance chiefly because there was this passage in it for the preservation of the Kings person according to the Covenant Yea the Sectaries publish to the world in Print that the King for his mis-government must lose his life h See the just mans Iustification P. 1. 't is said in one Pamphlet 〈◊〉 that You meaning the House of Commons or else the rude multitude should think of that great Murtherer of England meaning the King for by the impartial Law of God there is no exemption of Kings Princes Dukes Earls c. more then of Fishermen Coblers Tinkers or Chimney-sweepers and elsewhere 't is said i See Arguments proving that we ought not to part with the Militia Arg. 10. that according to Protestations Oathes and Covenants He meaning the King ought to be brought to exemplary and condign punishment he being the greatest and most notorious Delinquent in the whole Kingdom c. Yea they speak their minds more fully in another Pamphlet k See the Remonst of many thousands p. 6. We do expect according to reason that ye should in the first place declare and set forth King CHARLS his wickedness openly before the world and withal to shew the intolerable incoveniences of having a Kingly Government from the constant evil practices of those of this Nation and so to declare King CHARLS an enemy and to publish your resolution never to have any more By all this it appears that the Sectaries intend as the 32 Syrian Captains did 1 King 22.31 to fight neither with smal nor great but with the King of Israel In laying down this Design I would have none of you conceive as if I were a Malignant Royalist I hate Arbitrary power and Tyranny in Princes as much as any I only mention this that Malignants might not be brought into fools paradise to joyn with the Army conceiving them to be for the Kings honor and safety who are the greatest enemies of both Malignants all beleeve this thing Sectarians would destroy the King Yea they do wish there might be none For to succeed him on the throne To introduce an universal Liberty and Toleration for all sorts of false and heretical opinions 4. Design All the sectaries in the Kingdom labor with might and main to promote this in one Pamphlet 't is boldly asserted l See Williams Bloody Tenet of Persecution for the cause of Conscience in the preface to the Parliament p. 2. that it is the wil and command of God that since the coming of his son the Lord Jesus a permission of the most Paganish Jewish Turkish or Antichrist an Consciences and Worships be granted to all men in all Nations and Countries And elsewhere 't is said m See Compassionate Samaritan p. 5. that Liberty of Conscience is to be allowed to every man or sort of men to worship God in that way or manner as shal appear to them most agreeable to Gods Word Numerous Pamphlets there are abroad besides broacht by the seducing Chaplains of the Army and their accomplices as Mr D●lls Sermon before the Parliament many smal and trivial Tracts of M. Saltmarshes M. John Goodwin in his blasphemous book intituled Hagio m●stix c. and in his impudent Queries against an Ordinance of Parliament for the Suppression of Heresies with abundance of other Pamphlets which cry up this their Diana of Toleration yea these Army-Chaplains have so corrupted their hearers and disciples from the simplicity of the Gospel that the whole Army now contends for Toleration by the sword in the Field which their Teachers could never make good by Argument eit er in Press or Pulpit Yea the whole Army declare this to be the design I le give you the Armies words n See a Letter sent from Sir Tho Fairfax and the cheif Commanders in the Army to the Lord Mayor Aldermen Common Councel of the City of London Dated from Royston Jun. 10. We wish that every good Citizen and every man that walks peaceably in a blameless conversation and is beneficial to the Common-wealth may have liberty and encouragement it being according to the qust policy of all States even to justice it self By this you may see the intendments of the Army if they prevail in this present undertaking The great Diana cry'd up in the Nation Is a licentious lawless Toleration All in the Land own not this
