FRUITFULL ENGLAND LIKE TO BECOME A Barren Wilderness Through the wickednes of the Inhabitants AND THE ARMY Rebels Traitors once more for not disbanding and accordingly punished as some of them have been already at Sessions Assizes and otherwise notwithstanding all their wonderfull Victories faithfull and matchles services If the lawful remedies for prevention here justly advised be not discreetly and timely used So should Peace Trade and tranquility abound And this Army in all Ages be renown'd Else of what Cup they permit to be brew'd Themselves shall drink and cannot eschew't DEUT. 30.15 Behold I have set before thine eyes this day life and good and death and evill Psal 107.34 Prov. 28.25 and 29.2 Lam. 1.1 Jer. 5.30.31 LONDON Printed in the Year 1648. FRUITFULL ENGLAND LIKE TO BECOME A Barren Wildernesse THROUGH The wickednesse of the Inhabitants c. IN these mysterious dangerous times we are to take speciall notice of 3. severall parties working to 3. several ends in this Nation one party most deceitfully unjustly giving divers bloody deadly wounds another party most innocently and lamentably receiving them and the third most faithfully promising and dutifully undertaking to cure them It cannot be justly denyed but the party thus offending is lyable to be censured by the Lawes both of God and man chiefly if their notorious and grievous facts be proved to be of set purpose and the party offended not being able for a time to prosecute the matter against the offending party they being potent adversaries able to stop the course of justice yea and in effect both Judges and parties the party offended do referre their just cause and innocent sufferings to God unto whom belongeth vengeance and chuse the best and most expert Surgions they to their knowledge could find to use their best experiments in curing that parties grievous wounds yea and for those professors better encouragement therein and buying of all necessaries for the cure gave them both ready monies and other rich presents at the agreement whereupon these Surgions faithfully promised and undertook to discharge an honest duty in all and whatsoever particulars requisite to the compleat and absolutecureing of that party so grievously wounded But it came to passe within a little space that notwithstanding all these Surgions great professions faithful promises dutifull undertakings yea and their abundant receipts both of monies and other guifts almost surpassing all account they spent both their time and labours far more in the enriching of themselves by those benefites then in the conscionable performance of their duty by carefull using of their skill towards the cureing of the wounded party so by these deceitfull professors negligence in using the lawfull ordinary meanes those wounds and sores do begin so to corrupt and putrifie that they have brought the offended party to a far more dangerous and desperate condition then at first they found them for then any ordinary men of that profession by the use of the ordinary means might possibly have cured such green wounds but now they are grown so desperate that nothing but desperate cure can be thereunto applyed Now the case being thus stated a question hereby the way hath need to be resolved before we proceed whether the offender or the curers were the greatest enemies to the offended and wounded patients It can hardly be denyed but the curers are the greatest enemies although the offenders were the first open and deadly enemies giving the offended such mortall stroaks as could not easily be cured though the best means had been never so timely and carefully used and therefore the party offending are no wise to be excused but justly to bear their own blame yet in regard they professed not to be friends but rather open enemies and that they gave these mortall stroaks freely without either requiring or receiving any kind of recompence for their pains and neither professing undertaking nor promising to cure them But these Surgions most deceitfully professing to be such true reall and cordiall friends to these paients as if they had been indeed as they said they were flesh of their flesh and bone of their bones did faithfully and solemnly undertake promise imprecate vow swear protest and receive as great rewards as ever any Surgions received since these Warres yea or the world began and yet notwithstanding all have proved miserable comforters yea and as false corrupt covetous and deceitfull to those poor objects of pitty the wounded bloudy needy and cheated party as ever any Physitions or Surgions were to their turmoiled and grieved patients since the world began leaving that honest party who recompenced them so liberally even ready to perish in those putrified festered wounds they having far more respect to advance themselves and their posterities on their patients ruins then any wise to discharge their duties according to that trust those patients reposed in them for their recovery so that if they be not condignely punished and dismissed to the terrour of others yea and made to restore that recompence they unjustly received and better Surgions chosen in their places there is no hope neither of those patients recovery nor of other patients safety but all to be thus cheated and abused continually by deceitfull self-seeking and wicked men All which matters coming to this period and the cruell party being so farre from repenting that they have alwayes raged more more taking all advantages and both seeking out and contriving many opportunities plots and conspiracies to act more and more mischiefe against the same party whom they had thus wronged already insomuch that besides all the distressed parties excessive contributions to those deceitfull Surgions to little or no purpose they were forced not only to spend a great part of their own blood and estates besides both wounded and spoiled as they were but likewise after they had freely guarded those Surgions a long time themselves even to hire divers very chargable guards for a longer time almost to as little effect except only the last guard of all which proved both faithful and valiant indeed did help and assist them against the open cruelty and unparalelled both plots and violences of those most bloody and unplacable enemies By which powerfull meanes and mutuall concurrance they by divine providence through innumerable difficulties conquered subdued and captived their greatest enemies so that both their deceitfull curers and malicious destroyers were brought under the mercy of them and their Guard But yet here standeth the difference those subtle Surgions whom they chused to be their curers both of the Kings-Evill and all other nationall and abominable evills sores and diseases unto which they like their forefathers were subject do presume upon some pretence of priviledge to agreee with the violent party without either the patient parties or their valorous Guards consent though all they can do is but to speak and trea prate whereas the other offended party with their victorious Guard have the power
