he can most colourably do it runs his Ship upon the Rock or Shelves where he may save himself but undoes his Merchants and Owners The Metaphor will hold as well with this Courtly Senator who will serve the French King for Crowns and sell his own Prince whose bread and favour supported his being and for a Pension betray the Lives Liberties and Religion of the three Kingdoms and is now known to the Kingdom by the name of Pensioner 'T is this Treacherous Crew of Court-Vermin we inveigh against and that we caution against in all our Elections but for all those men of Honour Wisdom and Integrity that are faithful to His Majesty and the Interest of the Kingdoms attending the Court we Love and Honour Therefore cease your Calumnious Aspersions and pack from amongst us The quarrel now is purely betwixt Protestant and Papist Since all must suffer together of what perswasion soever under the denomination of Protestant I think it concerns all to stand together and unanimously provide for our selves by all lawful means The chief of which and the only remedy under God is our Parliaments who like good Physicians purges away corrupt humours representing our grievances to the King providing Remedies for all our distempers and supporting His Majesty against all foreign and homebred enemies This as it is the great priviledg and birth-right of English men and is the bond of their safety if the best of men be elected to that great trust so if care be not taken to keep out Atheists Papists Pensioners and beggarly Prodigals that will snap at every bait your M●●●cine shall prove your Poyson and your Physicians your fatal Executioners Shut not the●●●●re your eyes nor stop your ears you see and understand enough by what is laid open 〈◊〉 ●ll matter of fact This design and devilish Plot has been long a g●●wing and now 〈…〉 is labouring in its great Crisis now is the time that all Hands Hearts P●●●●●● 〈…〉 are all little enough to succour in this deplored calamity Parliaments would 〈◊〉 ●●●covered the Plot offer remedies and some think with too much hearty zeal So that 〈◊〉 Parliaments are already Dissolved to the amazement of the Nation in this j●●ct●re 〈…〉 and 't is hard and strange we cannot be thought well with Parliament be they 〈…〉 neither can we be without them and these His Majesty graciously declares shall 〈…〉 Therefore Gentlemen and my dear Countrey-men in the Name of God and as you value the concern of the Gospel the honour life and safety of your Prince your Religion Lives Liberties and Estates take care now of your Elections as much or more than ever up and be doing and the Lord that hath hitherto preserved you will still deliver if you be not wanting to your selves in the use of those lawful means God has put into your hands I shall only add this necessary Advertisement That if Parliaments be frequent your danger will be so for by often dissolutions of Parliaments and your exp●ct●ion ●ot being answered you may thereby be discouraged grow negligent and so let your wa●ch●ul enemy have an opportunity to bring in their rotten Hirelings that will sell your birthright or any things to answer their hungry appetites The next danger is lest frequent Parliaments besides the trouble will bring on a frequent insupportable charge which those honest Gentlemen that deserve so great a trust cannot undergo the burden of and so be forc'd to desert you Therefore I humbly advise and heartily beseech you hear and pity the dying groans of your languishing Country it is but your reasonable service Nomo sibi nascitur partem patria partem Parentes partem Amici all are concern'd I address my self first to you the Electors the Principal great Ingine by which this mighty work must move let no discouragements make you weary but faithfully and duly attend your Elections and actively strive to raise all your Friends Acquaintance and Relations with you and make your choice of men fearing God and hating Covetousness men of Honour men of Honesty and men of Estates and then miss of a good Parliament if you can Next encourage those faithful Gentlemen of whose fidelity you have already had experience chuse them and that freely not charging them with a Penny that they may be still in a capacity to serve you without their ruine And you most worthy Patriots that have immortalized your names by your faithful discharging of your Trusts in Parliament let nothing discourage you but stand to and for your King and Country be not weary of well doing let not your hearts faint before you have fully wrought deliverance for the Kingdom your merits can never be forgotten for the memory of the just shall never fade Give God his due in maintaining his truths in our establisht Religion give Caesar his right in his Royal Prerogative and keep and maintain the peoples right as a sacred relique deposited in your hands and he that will break but one Link in this Golden-Chain let him be Anathema Maranatha Lift up then your heads brave English men let nothing daunt you mind well your Elections and then Pope and Devil do thy worst nothing but our own neglects and sins can undo us and it will be the greatest shame that we should be less active in so good a Cause to preserve our selves than the Enemy in a wicked one to destroy us FINIS
