appear what they are so this following Parallel betwixt the Argathelian Faction and the Independent Junto will serve for an eye-salve to cure the eye-sight of both Kingdoms and let them see clearly how near they are to the brink of an intolerable and perpetual slavery Argile and his Faction stiled by the Independents the Godly party in Scotland the rest all Malignants The like in England by the Army of Sectaries and Independent Junto above twenty millions shared amongst them whereof the Kingdom can never get accompt all places of Honour and Trust of England still in the hands of those that are engaged for and with the Army of Sectaries Cromwell and the army for the King in their first ingagements but having inslaved the City inforced the Parliament to the dethroning Votes and as not formerly acquainted therewith gave thanks for them and sent their Emissaries to some seduced Counties and Corporations to do the like Cromwell contributes a Passe to His Guides slacking the guards as he did the second time when he frighted him with a Plot from Hampton-Court to the Isle of Wight where he remains close Prisoner The blood shed in England under colour of justice in cold blood calls aloud for vengeance and the perfidious breaches of the Army of their promises to King Parliament and Country is too too evident What the insolent Army did comming with Bayes in their hats when they inslaved the Parliament and riding in triumph through the City by whose bounty they were made and maintained an Army will to their perpetual infamy be registred to all posterity The Army and some others by their instigation petition that the Kingdome may be setled without the King and that Army continued to enslave the Kingdom especially the Presbyterian party their Army being for Toleration Cromwell was ready to comply but got some other work for the time and if God prevent it not will now speedily be able to obey Argile's desires but if that fail Argile shall have money and send David Lesley to levy Forces abroad to work Argile's ends 1. The Army of Sectaries in England however formerly Preached and wrote against now called by Argile's faction the hope of their safety 2. The heavy Taxes imposed and continued upon Scotland by Argile and his Faction and all the benefit thereof and most part of the monies got from England shared amongst them and no satisfactory accompt given to the Kingdom thereof 3. All places of Honour and trust usurped by Argathelians till of late and the Army modelled to maintain their Interest 4. Argile formerly yet but seemingly for Monarchy now really against it and all that desire to assert it 5. That Faction first betrays the King to come to the Scots Army promising protection and then most perfidiously delivered Him up to the mercy of His most cruel Enemies 6. Argile and his Faction have been most cruel to those they call their Enemies especially in cold bloud and perfidious to their friends deserting and betraying them 7. Argile when he had done mischief must have both thanks and reward and like a Conquerour march through the Kingdom in triumph a thing never granted amongst the noble Romans to triumph for a Victory in a Civil War 8. Argile's Faction petitions That the Army intended for His Majesties inlargement and the relief of our Presbyterian Brethren shall not come in 9. Argile and his Faction desires but five thousand Horse to assist them to subdue Scotland which must be turned a Province to the Kingdom of the Saints Let this serve for a Caveat to the mis-led and deluded Protestants of the three Kingdoms not to trust the fair promises or pretences of these seeming Saints who have made the solemn League and Covenaat intended for preservation of Religion His Majesties Honour and the just Liberties of the Subject to be the ruine of Religion the dishonour so far as in them lieth of His Majesty and the most absolute enslaving of all free Subjects not to Kings or Princes to Great men or Good men but to the very scum and off-scouring of both Kingdoms it being no small grief to all that truly feared God that so many of the reputed honest Presbyterian party should out of base fear or other by-respects comply so long with these State-Juglers the Clergy being most active hastning thereby their own and the Kingdoms misery for they may be well assured if these Saints prevail they must as some of them have done already turn their Coats once more and become the Hirelings and tongue-tied Tenants at will to their Brethren of the Independency or be kicked out of their fat Benefices and possibly out of the Kingdom to prevent new Insurrections against them which they are cunning to procure having the power in their hand to repress all that dare appear against them may be ruined others by their example terrified and their Saints may enjoy the fatness of England but I would ask these violent Clergy-men of the Presbyterian Party that are unwilling His Majesty should be brought speedily to a Personal Treaty what their Assemblies of Divines have been doing for if that Confession of Faith set out in England approved of in Scotland be agreeable to the truth of Gods word as I know nothing to the contrary why should the chief Magistrate our dread Soveraign be any longer debar'd of his just dues is He worse then Infidel that you will assist those that deny His sacred Majesty that which they allow to Infidel Magistrates blush for shame and repent in time lest as they change their Votes every day according as the tide of their power ebbs and flows so they may soon force you to repeal that Article concerning the chief Magistrate or like the gloss of Orleans put an exposition upon it which destroyeth the text God send us peace and truth and preserve His sacred Majesty and his Posterity and confound the wicked counsels of all such as are enemies to Peace Truth and Monarchy Si quid novistirectius istis Candidus imperti Si non his utere mecum THE END

his Majesty which God knows he was not able at that time to hinder his intentions being still for Peace and such a Peace as might consist with the safety of Religion and His Majesties honour whereof he was very hopeful being confident of His Majesties propensnesse to Peace and the interest he had in His Majesties favour but the watchfull malice of his enemies and the enemies of Peace did cunningly prevent his going about so good a work making him Prisoner without His Majesties knowledge hindring by all means a meeting betwixt them knowing that his Majesties justice and the Dukes innocency would quickly make their calumnies to vanish what a sad imprisonment did he indure much heightned by the then impossibility of clearing his innocency to his Soveraign the losse of whose favour would be more bitter then a thousand deaths and his real intentions for the good of his Country for whose cause he hazarded and suffered so much misery and imprisonment Yet this noble Dukes implacable and malitious enemies do further asperse him as a man of no Religion a meer Polititian and one that seeketh the ruine of his Soveraign by the aspiring to the Crown of Scotland It would trouble the best Polititian and the most Religious upon earth in these distracting and distracted times to distinguish rightly betwixt the duty we owe to Religion and the duty we owe to our Prince supposing them enemies but the falsity of this supposition which hath misled many thousands and been the ground of all our miseries being evident to the Duke who had the honour to be educated and intimate with his Majesty from his youth knowing his Majesty to be a lover and honourer of the true Protestant Religion a lover of justice and mercy and a practiser of all Christian and moral virtues and with a most munificent hand a royal Benefactor to himself and his Family It may be asked if it had been either piety or policy in the Duke to have kick'd off so loving and so liberal a Lord and Master although he had not been his Soveraign or to have ingaged against his Country with any Party that for their own ends more then the good of their Soveraigns were disturbers of all moderate Counsels so long as he had any hopes of Peace especially seeing so many sad presidents in both Kingdoms where many powerfull Subjects lovers of the true Protestant Religion not joyning prudence with their loyalty and innocence have crush'd them under the Load nothing easeth his Majesties burthen but rather increaseth the same all their wealth and power being now made instrumental to enslave both KING and Kingdoms the Duke's prudence having vindicated him from the ruine intended against him by his enemies and reserved him through Gods blessing to vindicate his Loyalty by re-enthroning his Majesty so soon as God hath enabled him with any power to do it As for his Religion it is known he is neither Popishly affected nor a Sectary but who hath ever been a professor of the true Protestant Religion a loler and Patron of all Godly men and honest Ministers even in the time of Episcopacy when few or none but himself durst appear for them if his judgement had not been overswayed in some Star-Chamber sentences before he had that wisdom and experience which he now hath and long before he did take the Covenant if he had been ambitious of popular applause he had been more renown'd for his Religion then for his Princes royall bounty but wishing rather to be religious then seem so his favours were given in secret to many godly Ministers and his Majesties honour and good chiefly aimed at in the bestowing of them and that you may take a short view of his proceedings as you have done of Argile's by comparing them you will find who doth deserve the Title of the most Religious Duke Hamilton suffered his worthy Mother to enjoy besides her own Joynture all his Estate whereby indeed he lost nothing she improving it much to his advantage hath helpt his Brother to a great estate with Titles and Places of Honour and profit suitable to his birth and worth his Sisters and now some of his Neices matched in the Noblest and best Families of the Kingdom The Duke had no quarrel with any save Montrosse the ground you heard for crossing his first intention for the Invasion of Scotland to prevent the misery and bloudshed that he did foresee was like to follow The Duke had no spoyls nor gifts given him since ever he signed the Covenant save the Title of DUKE but hath been spoyled both himself and friends by those that followed Montrosse The Duke stands firm to his Covenant for the established religion loyal to his Prince for Monarchical Government faithfull to his Country against all forein Invasion The Duke acts nothing but according to the Laws established according to the Covenant and the the duty of every good Subject Duke Hamilton hath been of that temper to mediate for a wel-grounded Peace his Majesties deliverance and the Personal Treaty being the only probable ways for setling the three Kingdoms and setling the power where it ought to be for the Honour and safety both of King and Subjects The Duke hath used and is using all endeavours to Vindicate the oppressed Subjects in both Kingdoms never changing Interests being always faithfull to all those to whom he did profess love and friendship 1. Whereas Argile did in his Fathers life time b●ing him to a Pension outed his Brother of his Estate Kintyre and ruined his Sisters by cheating them of their portions and so enforcing them to go to Cloysters 2. Argile for private quarrels betwixt him and Montrosse Culkettough and the Athol men the Earl of Airely and other hath drawn much misery and bloudshed upon the Kingdom whom he enforced to espouse his quarrels 3. Argile had enrich'd his Country with the spoyls of the Kingdom and himself with the great treasure bestowed on him both by Scotland and England which is well secured without the reach of an Impeachment 4. Argile hath contrary to his Covenant Duty and Allegiance conspired to extirpate Monarchical Government to introduce foreinforces of Sectaries to the utter overthrow of the established Religion 5. Argile hath overthrown all Laws tyrannizing over the Lives Liberties and Estates of the Subjects 6. Argile opposeth all ways of the Peace setlement of the three Kingdoms His Majesties deliverance and being brought to a Personal Treaty lest the power should be taken out of his and his Confederates hands whereby they oppress and ruine both King and Subject 7. Lastly Argile hath betrayed his old friends the Presbyterian party in both Kingdoms especially the Presbyterians in the Parliament of England and City of London not only suffering them to be made a prey to their enemies but ostructing their relief Let the impartial Reader now judge which of the two is most religious As this opposition betwixt Duke Hamilton and Argile makes them both to
