That notwithstanding all pretences to the contrarie there is like to be but a sleight search of this Villanie and a lesse punishment of the Authors How can any man expect other measure at their hands the world hath experience how closse they stick one to another how hard it is to have Justice against any one of the fraternity in what cause soever how one man may interrupt by captious and pusling interposures the proceedings of any Committee nay of the whole House what straines of art and finenesse of wit must wee looke for in this case where so many of the tribe are concerned their cause lies at stake For my part I give up the poore Gentleman who makes the affidavit as a Victim and foresee bayes provided for the head of the assassinate according to former practises and events in the like case At least the businesse shall bee huffled in a silent forgetfullnesse untill the sence of the People is worne out and this tempest blown over at which time they may securely dismisse their associate and revenge themselves by some advantage upon their adversaries 5. That wee their fellow Subjects or rather Vassalls can expect but poore Justice at their hands when wee have occasion If it fare thus with the Ceder how shall it with the shrub If they doe thus by their King how shall the Subjects speede Take but the paines to turne over their Journalls to examine their Committees to tread upon their heeles in their eccentricall actings in their severall Countries I doubt it will bee a hard matter to finde one Act of Justice which hath beene done this whole seaven yeares unlesse a Member or an entire friend have had the right and selfe interest beene the spurre unto it It must needs bee a question when a confident of their own even Mr. Lilburne hath proclaimed it in print and many more of their friends nay their Members when they are out of the walls and in an impartiall fit doe daily confesse and for injustice and oppression you shall see such Mountaines that it may be boldly averred That all the Courts of Justice all the persons in judicature since the Conquest did never cōmit so many if they were mustred together by the one halfe If these men do behave themselves thus whiles they are but probationers candidates of Soveraignty we must expect that our Judgments must be unrighteous our Justice turned into Gall and Wormewood Their finger shall bee heavier then their Loynes and whips turned into Scorpions when their Empire is setled over us our hands are tied and our mouthes choaked up 6. That the King is a rare example of Wisdome Patience Fortitude and other Vertues Although most vertues bee strongly concenter'd in his Majestie yet these are the more eminent because they had the greatest objects because his Majestie hath beene clothed with the contrarie vices by his enemies and exposed into that deformitie to the world by them as the Christians in former times were covered with the Skinnes of Beares and Woolves that Doggs might bee the better invited to teare and worry them For his Wisdome Marke without prejudice his Messages his Answers his Declarations even as they print them in their own books Read his Letters which were writ in private even as they are exposed in as bad scraps as they could break them and joyn'd with a distorting Comment and you shall be convinced of what one of their own Members said That one Lyne of his was more worth then a Volume of their owne Consider those Transactions of his since they bought him of the Scotts and you shall confesse That in so little you never read more Take notice of his equall Deportment in all his Conditions and how he hath won upon most persons even his deadly enemies who have conversed with him Cromwell said that hee employed Huntington as the Man about him yet hee is so bewitched with the King that I am afraid of him Col. Whaley was under jealousie also for the expressions he many times let fall The very Governor of the Isle of Wight hath given him a large Character for all Honor and Accomplishment unto very many Master Carill their Chaplain worte home to his wife from New-Castle That he found him another Solomon Master Hinderson found this in his last discourses and disputes with his Majesty and therefore at his poenitentiall expiring Declared him to bee a most Pious and a Learned Prince and was sorie hee had beene so farre injured Their Tub-Preachers Master Kiffen and others upon their little acquaintance have done him that right and for that been so enamored with him Nay the Houses have no other Reason nor none so great for their feare to Treat in Person with him suffering him to come into play then that he is too wise If you did on the other side surveigh their Actions and Councells which somtimes you could not thinke but they had their rise in Bedlam it would render his Worth the more conspicuous and you must confesse That my Lord the King is even as an Angell of God For Patience Though Satan and his Instruments have winnowed him almost as much as Job Though he have passed through the furnace of sorrow Though so many indignities and affronts have beene offered him by his Vassals such as have beene
