And thereby Englands Subjects sworn must be Against their King O matchlesse Villanie Who takes that Oath are perjur'd every one From Faith and Truth they desperately are gone No age before produc'd so vile a thing That Subiects should be sworn against their King One thing there is our Rebels stand upon Which doth in their Rebellion lead them on The King his Oath and Oath of Subjects all Are both alike say they reciprocall And so they are both must indeed be kept But know they have a different respect The King his Oath doth take with reverend feare To God alone But Subjects they do sweare To God and to their King If Kings offend 'T is God alone that must with them contend A power above them That which is below I meane Those that their Subjects be must know They cannot move in any other sphere Then of Subjection Whence it is most cleare As God alone hath power 'ore the King So Subjects must submit in every thing Unto their lawfull Prince who power hath To punish Subjects for their breach of Faith Let Subjects know it is not in their part To say unto their King Thou wicked art Who dares speak so but such as speak not well And proudly dare against their King Rebell And most unjustly when they but surmise The King doth 'gainst his Oath some plots devise Which he ne're minded Then if Subjects all On such suspect shall from obedience fall And runne into Rebellion presently All Government is quite destroy'd thereby If Husbands chance to break their Marriage Vow Shall wives 'gainst Husbands straight Rebell think you And then again much more especially When wives are mov'd by cause-lesse Jealousie Yet Subjects of our King so moved are To take up Arms in this Rebellious Warre And thou proud Lesley makes thy self a chief In working of thy King and Countreys grief And this must still be for Religions sake That makes the Rebels such a coyle to make The Turk were he to choose Religion now He would not be Religious like to you Scotch Generall then go gang thy way along Help to uphold the Turkish Alchoran At Meca there do thou a Champion set And fight thou there for their great Mahomet And then by that thy valiant enterprize Thou mayst command the Great Turks Janizaries Or Generall be of his Timariot Force And so command three hundred thousand Horse And rise to be of some great Bashaw's might Or Beglebeg a Lord of Lords in sight Here 's Honour for thy high Ambition fit Who mayst make choice of thy Religion yet Then stay not here great Brittains Isle to spoile By mischief of thy proud Rebellions broile Thy Scottish Covenant keep among the Scots Our English Church and Common-wealth it blots With Treason 'gainst our King uprightly just Who gave himself into his Subjects trust And that so generally as none before Was known to do so in the dayes of Yore Shall Subjects then their Soveraigns trust betray And 'gainst their King foule parts of Treason play The Proverb thou dost know it loudly rings And tells the world that Scotland bears no Kings Wouldst thou of such condition England make And spoile her honour with thy Scottish rake May judgement first upon thee strongly seize And King and Kingdom of that sicknesse ease A work 's begun which with infection strong Infects both Kingdoms by Rebellions wrong And canst thou Lesley find within thy heart Such works to do and take such workers part O strang to see for I have heard thy name With Honour prais'd whereof if true the Fame Thou art a Souldier and with warlike skill Canst in a Battaile all thy ranges fill And valiantly command an Army so As where thou marchest Honour there may go And so it might in Warre when Honourable Rebellions praise is most abominable Quit then thy Honour from dishonours stain And march no longer in Rebellions train It 's much too much thou hast already done Thy self but conquer there 's a Conquest wonne Shall make thee great Great glory shall they winne Who can like Conquerers o'recome their sinne Our good King Charles Prince Charles Noble Duke Set them before thee and upon them look With heart of love The King deserves no lesse And those sweet Princes do such grace expresse As not an heart unlesse of Steel or Stone But would be mov'd to love them every one Against them all to fight Offences such Do with a mischief Gods Annointed touch And yet the Actors they themselves will stile His Majesties most Loyall Subjects while They 'r nothing lesse Their actions foul and vile Do justly them from Subjects name exile To see in this how Subj●cts do proceed May justly make the stoniest heart to bleed Great Brittains Self her self doth bite and sting Our sinnes our sinnes on us these judgements bring What are the English now of Mad-mans Tribe To let the Scots to them a Form prescribe Of Government in Church and Common-wealths And to enforce 't for King and Kingdom healths No Lesley no wise England will not brook What thy base Faction now hath undertook Feed then no longer thy deluding hope Nor vainly give unto thy fansie scope For if thou do'st thou wilt but fool thy self And lay thy hopes upon a broken Shelf New Covenanters Ours and You Crafty Scots All base Projectors full of cosening Plots Shall all in Gods good time from England pack And work no more our Kings and Countreys wrack To Englands Rule if Scotland please to yeeld Great Brittains Union shall be then upheld Renown'd King Charles shall from that very day With joy the Scepters of both Kingdoms sway Gods true Religion then shall firmly stand And Brittains Isle shall be a glorious Land No clouds shall then Ecclipse her glorious shine Among the Nations round about her clime Her Peace shall then her safety fortifie As City built in glorious unity Lesley behold a wish't for happinesse Which to accomplish thou thy mind addresse If thou indeed religious rightly art Religion bids thee take thy Soveraigns part And be content in Scotland to abide And take what there God doth for thee provide And never henceforth any inrode make Into this Land in Hostile way to take From Englands King and English Subjects what To thee or any of thine belongeth not Which yet I 'de have thee know thou couldst not do Did not our Bastard-English help thereto I know 't is naturall for man to erre But know that Beast-like 't is to persevere In error Then retract To King submit And do what best a Subject may befit Strive now for Peace to Peace thy self betake And let an happy Peace thy Period make In Peace to live and so in Peace to dye Will bring to thee a Peace eternally And scorn not him whose pen these lines did write His Youth could well in warlike Battaile fight The Accidence of Arms long since he knew And all the Grammer Rules of Warre did view And can dispute the learning of that Art

memory of thy Name When thou art dead Do therefore whilst alive Thy better thoughts within thy self revive Each Kingdom in it self divided is And each 'gainst other Now the Lord of Blisse Euen Truth it self hath spoken to us all No Kingdom in such case can stand but fall What hast thou done what is 't thou doest then No b●tter actions then the worst of men Such actions do as may thy self commend Gainst King and Countrey do no more offend Thy Countrey now which thou hast made to bleed To stanch her blood thy helping hand doth need Some healing Balme unto thy Countrey bring The Scorpions Oyl doth heale the Scorpions sting Now then resolve with all thy greatest force To stop and stay Rebellions wounding course Joyn thou with those that with our King do joyn Religion then no counterfeited Coyn Shall make to passe but lawfull money then Shall onely passe amongst us English men King Charles his Image Coyn shall lawfull make And that for currant shall his Subjects take Though now we are enforc'd by lawlesse might Some things to do as if in Laws despight And that by those who should our Laws protect Though now they do both King and Laws reject The King mongst them doth but a Cipher stand Their Will's a Law and unto their Command Both King and fellow-subjects must submit O monstrous shame for Heathens most unfit Yet to maintain such Actions most unjust They take up Arms and in their Swords do trust 'gainst God and King when such Rebellion's rais'd Curst be those tongues by whom it shall be prais'd To call ill good is an accursed thing A Curse it will at last most surely bring Who unto Peace do bend their heart and mind Shall out of doubt from God a blessing find Then Fairfax if thou truly valiant art Strike in for Peace and take thy Soveraigns part One of thy name long since in Arms I knew At Groning-Leaguer and indeed t is true He was a valiant Captain Art thou so No more against the Lords Annointed go No● fight again against His Maj●sty Nor Actor be in Englands Tragedy The Peace of Charles our Soveraign Lord the King His Crown and Dignity yea that 's the thing Which honest Subjects strongly should uphold And so in Arms of Peace their Countrey fold Fight thou for this and therein valiant be So Honour shall attend and follow thee Know Fairfax that I wish thy happinesse As thou thy self dost unto Peace addresse Peace Glory Honour these shall Crown thee then This Peace God grant unto us all Amen The sixth Song Mongst Oxen now my Muse desendeth down From Hob to Lob and so cries Whoo to Brown BRown-Bread and Onions with a Garlike-head Is Carters meat So Coridons are fed By which strong food they thereon feeding well Their breath is made to have a stinking smell So Brown hath thine what Onion is't I think Thou feed'st upon which makes thy breath to stink Is 't a Scotch Onion which Englands house withstood Though now they serve it even in Broaths of Blood It seemes it is an Onion sharp and sowre Which causeth many a thousand eyes to powre Forth teares with many a sad and grieved thought To see what sowre effects are thereby wrought But Brown art thou of that proud Browns descent Whose Schisme at first our Peace in peeces rent And of whose name the Brownists have their stile Whose foolish Sect can none but Fools beguile Yet of such Force as it hath been a terror To those who love to please themselves in error Those Greenway Barrow first did break the Ice Then Vdall did with Penry joyn advice Three first were hang'd to Scotland Penry fled And there abroad his Schisme he proudly spred The Brethren of the Scottish Parity Did joyn with him in all his Knavery So that each Kingdom to their trouble felt The share which Schisme and Faction freely dealt Amongst them And the holy Br●thren they Grew up together walked in one way By vow and Oath in League and Covenant knit To serve each others turn when time should fit Now Brownisme though it was by Law supprest In Corners yet it was too much profest And those though silenc'd would not silence keep But Preach at mid-night when 't was time to sleep In Woods in Cock-lofts Sellars Gravel-pits For some such place such Brethren best befits There would they pray and there full often Preach And to their Brother-hood Rebellion teach And say In cause Ecclesiasticall The King himself can have no power at all The Church is govern'd by her Ministry And herein they renounce his Majesty The King himself he must a member be Of some one Congregation and He Must Subject be unto their Church-Divine And must submit unto their Discipline So Preach the Brethren of the Parity And what is this but down-right Popery But David Salomon each following King In holy writ sufficient warrant bring That every King in his own Kingdom is Next unto Christ Supream And things amisse In Church or Common-wealth they all should be By Him reform'd Without him you may see No thing is done His Warrant His Consent Is that enables Subjects to Convent And ratifies what they conclude upon So that without him nothing can go on Priests High-Priests are by Kings prefer'd They can At pleasure place and displace any man Kings hold their Crown from God He that is King Doth in his Kingdom rule in every thing Such is His Dignity and Royall State All powers else are but subordinate To Him And Subjects ranged in their List The powers which are of God must not resist For if they do 'gainst God themselves they set And shall thereby his high displeasure get Kings take their place next under-neath their God To Him alone they must be left His Rod Is onely that which over-aweth them And not the Words nor Rodds nor Swords of men Who being Subjects onely must obey These no Commission have to over-sway Their King If Brown 'gainst this his reasons bring Hee 'l reason like a Traytor to his King And those his Priests who 'gainst this truth do Preach Do Treason and Rebellion plainly teach Mongst them too sorts of Brownists may be found Both building on the one and self same ground And both alike uphold Rebellion's Action Uprais'd by Schisme and by seditious faction The first least dangerous do separate Themselves from this our Church and dare to prate 'gainst this their Mother Nation and deny That here the being of a Church doth lye To build their Church to Amsterdam they runne But lose their labour when they thither come For why The States will not allow them there The honourable name of Church to bear They an Asse-sembly are not named Holy So well discerned is their Factions folly Some yeers there spent at last from thence they go As wise as Walthams Calf for we must know They hither come into blind Corners creep And there 's their Church
