THE Causes of the Diseases and Distempers of this KINGDOME c. WHen a learned and well experienced Physitian hath eitherby the Pulse Vrin or other Symptomes found out the cause of the dangerous disease of his Patient he will know or conjecture what is Cureable or past Cure And as it is with the Body of Man so in the Body Politique of the Kingdome if the causes of our distempers and distractions would or could be knowne they might with wisedome and judgement be removed and taken away and then by consequence the Effects would cease And though most men are either Fooles or Physitians or a both yet few or none hath either found or shewed the causes or reasons of these causelesse and unreasonable disturbances Amongst the many Thousands of oppressed sufferers in this our afflicted England my selfe though no Phisitian yet the Son of a Chirurgian am one that hath had a long time of many tryalls and experiments of Waters and Water-Casting and I have lately used my poor skill in Casting the Kingdomes Water and though Phisitians may often faile in their conjectures yet b Fooles and Children will many times tell the Truth by chance I have Cast the Waters of Thames Isis Seaverue Wye Avon Trent Humber Owse Tweed Forth Tay Spey Annan c. and as I guesse I have found out the true cause and causes the needlesse why the impertinent wherefore and the accursed unknowne for what this former flourishing Kingdom is thus Rebelliously infected And if I could as well Cure as discover the diseases my gratious Soveraigne and all his Loyall Subjects and Servants should quickly have their owne againe in Peace But because England doth not know well what she ayles though I cannot cure her yet I will tell her how it is The Members of this great Body do complaine of the Head saying that from thence their griefe began the Head is troubled with too much Akeing Cares with extreame overwatchfullnesse for the preservation of the misguiding Members and the misguided Body The Members pretend the defence and maintenance of the knowne Lawes of the Kingdom The King according to those established knowne Lawes desires to Rule and also requires the lawfull obedience due to His Majesty by those Lawes and no otherwise And those at Westminster cannot but acknowledge but that they are all Traytors that doe refuse to live in obedience to the King and those knowne Lawes But the Westminsterians doe call all the Protestants and all others that are obedient to those knowne Lawes Malignants and Popishly-affected And without Law and against those Lawes they Kill Imprison and Sequester all their Lands Offices and Estates And those lawlesse men doe not only commit this outrage against particulars but even against the whole Body of the Kingdome for they have Rob'd it violently of the maine Pillar prop and support of their Lives Livelihoods and Fortunes by taking away from them their Elections of their Knights Citizens and Burgesses for they have turn'd all such out of the House of Commons as would not joyne with them in this horrid Rebellion c when as they being rightly elected and return'd by the Law they cannot put out any but for some legall Cause as being outlawed after Rebellion or for being a Felon Murtherer or Traytor But these Traytors at Westminster are so lawlessely impudent and insolent that as they dare not themselves be tried by the knowne Lawes so they will not permit those whom they falsely accuse to be Malignants to be tried by those Lawes but have kept some in Prison more then these three yeares because they would not commit whoredome with the Beast at Westminster Tush these are triviall matters above the reach of a Scullers d Capacity 't is knowne Mr Sergeant Wild will say there are Presidents that the House of Commons have as their wisedomes thought meet and convenient put out some Members without any legall Cause shewed the greater their fault in so doing 'T is true I have heard there was e one not many yeares since that one was put out for desiring some Ginne or Mousetrappe to catch Puritans and that is one of your Westminster presidents By as good reason because some Theeves and Robbers have not been hang'd therefore all may lawfully steale and none be hang'd by that president or because one of your Members got a Wench with child in his lodging and was not punished for f it shall that be made a president for all others to get Bastards or make Cuckolds I doe heartily desire I might be permitted to joyne Issue with you you have three Iudges with you and it may be requisite for an accommodation that Mr Selden and Mr Maynard were made two more though they love their owne quiet and their wealth too much they are knowne to be learned in the Lawes Those five might be joyn'd to ours here and every one of us and you submit to their judgements according to the knowne Lawes And by the Lawes it will appeare who are Traytors and who are honest g men But Mr Sergeant Wild and learned Mr Miles Corbet will that is not reason for they have been inforc'd or necessitated to doe many things contrary to the Law the more Knaves and Rebels still And shall we of the Kings side say more truly there is neither Law or Reason to kill or imprison us to take our Goods Lands and Offices from us for the poore thred-bare and unjust Reason that you were necessitated For the Turke doth not cover his Tyranny with Law or Reason when he takes Goods or Life from a man for he doth it by will and tyrannicall power even as you doe now to us for we doe not know any injury that we have done you or any faults we have committed against you but that you make our obedience to the King and our keeping of the Lawes our great and Capitall h offences We are all bound in Loyalty to His Majestie by the Law of God by the Lawes of the Land and by the Law of Nature as our grand Parent And for His preservation and defence to keep you from killing and murthering Him and all His loyall and faithfull Subjects we are now necessitated according to those knowne Lawes to oppose you that are the opposers of all the Lawes of God and the Kingdome The causes of your Rebelling and of the Kingdomes miseries was the great necessity that you were in and what I pray you was that great necessity i because some Lord whom you pleas'd to have might not be made Lord Treasurer another High Admiral and the Lord Say to be an Earle and Lord Keeper of the Great Seale because some might not have the honour to be Ambassadors one to be Chancellor to the Queene another Master of the Rolls and of the House of Commons some to be Maisters of Requests Pym to be Chancellor of the Exchequer Hambden Cofferer in a word some to be Secretaries to the King
