as the onely hinderers of Reformation of Religion thereby indeed to lessen the numbers of Votes likeliest to oppose the Fanatick Faction These Tumults daily increasing upon the countenance they found from the Parliament where they were bid to come like men that is with Swords by the Rabble of Porters and Apprentises daily sent by their Masters but chiefly by their Mistresses with Clubs and Swords to cry for Reformation at the Parliament-doors The Faction in London having also combined to shut up their Shops for many days together and perswaded others to do the like upon some pretended fears but the truth was to make the poor people in and about the City a pretence to mutiny for want of work so heightned the Faction in the House of Commons that they sent up Mr. Hollis to the House of Peers to demand the Names of the dissenting Lords that so they might expose them to the peoples fury as they posted the dissenting Members of the House of Commons in the case of the Earl of Strafford The Ring-leaders still to the Rout were Dr. Burges the onely scandal to his profession in all London as his Parishioners of Watford can tell and the Spiritual Courts of London-Diocess also Capt. Ven who sent Tickets by Porters and Emissaries to raise these Myrmidons and Sir Richard Wiseman who with this confused Army assaulting the Bishop of Lincoln's house in Westminster had his brains dashed out with a stone from the wall and was buried at the collected charges among the Apprentises The House of Peers thus daily assaulted without and wanting no false Brethren within was not like to hold out any long Siege the very doors and Lobby and entries being so crowded with the Tumults that none can pass in or out without a kind of leave from the Assailants who upon the word given of the approach of any popish or disaffected Lord as the phrase was would in derision cry out Rome Rome but when any whom they accounted well-affected was to pass by they would cry Make way Make way a free Parliament all this while insomuch that some Lords had their Cloaks torn from their backs at the Parliament-doors Nor could the Bishops one of the three Estates in Parliament or Popish Lords as they called them come to the House without apparent hazard of their persons which made the Bishops as Pares Regni solemnly to protest against all Acts done in their absence till the Parliament should be restored to liberty as Mr. Speaker hath lately done and the Members who lately fled to the Army upon their return have nullified all Votes Orders Ordinances made since their forced absence by like City-Tumults in the year 1647. Hereupon the faction in the House of Commons furiously impeach the protesting Bishops of High-Treason and twelve Bishops were at once committed to the Tower to gag their Mouths that they might be easilier robbed of their Votes and Purses as afterwards they were the Treason not yet proved The Bishops and Popish Lords thus thrown out of the Parliament and the rest of the Royal Nobility terrified were forced to withdraw themselves from the Parliament leaving the Vote of the House of Peers to the Faction galloping in its fury yet for all those affronts done by the City-Tumults at the Parliament-doors to shew how truely it hath been ever said of the Fanatick That he will not Swear but he will Lie as also the assaulting of that Loyal Lord-Mayor's house by the same Tumults in the midst of the City and notwithstanding their furious marching through the City in return from the Parliament-house whose Guard they called themselves and bragged how they were thanked by the Members for their love to the Parliament with Links and loud Clamours timely alarming the Goldsmiths of Cheapside to shut up their Shops and notwithstanding the nightly Tumults about pulling down Cheapside-Cross and the Trained-Bands marching day and night about the City to keep the peace A Coopers Apprentice on Breadstreet-hill pulling off the Legs of our Saviour's Picture on the East-end of the Cross in the act fell on the Iron-bars but told his Master that some of the Watchmen hurt him with an Halbert concealing the truth till after ten days torture seeing no hope of life with horrour he confessed his fact lamenting Gods judgment upon him and died of the wound whose death so terrified the Tumults from that action that they never attempted the Cross any more upon my own knowledge And in the first of King Charles when the same Cross was beautified a Fanatick who broke the Neck of the Babe in the lap of the blessed Virgin within three nights after had his Neck broke and left dead in the streets near the Cross no man knowing how it came to pass At Tukesbury in Gloucestershire I have seen the Grave of a reforming Zealot who demolished the Cross and made the Cross-stone wherein was our Saviour's Picture an Hog-trough All the Piggs and the Sow which drank therein died the first night and the man drowned himself in a Well over an Hog-trough which stood by the Well as the Spiritual Court of Gloucester can witness and many yet living in Tukesbury can justifie this story Yet did the Faction in Parliament tell the King and the world in print in answer to the Kings complaining of those Tumults That they saw no Tumults but that the concourse in Westminster-hall used to be as great in Term-time By these means the Fanatical Faction in the Parliament having conquered the Vote of both Houses and forced the King to fly began soon to declare their Legislative power in publishing their imperative Vote That the Subjects of England were bound to obey the Ordinances of both Houses of Parliament as a Law in case the King should deny his Royal Assent But knowing such Votes were not like to find universal obedience as their designes required the next and last thing they entred upon was power to execute those Votes which their success by the late Tumults ready for a War heightned them to demand under pretence of putting the Militia of the Kingdom into such hands as the Parliament that is the Fanatical Faction should think fit which to obtain one would think it might spend the faith of a Christian to believe what ridiculous fears and jealousies of Invasions from abroad and secret dangers at home were suddainly bruited by the Faction up and down the Kingdom Fears of Invasions by the Danes by the French by the Irish fears of Papists in London when the Faction knew they had scarce left one in the City but in Prisons Mr. Pym's Plague-plaister the discovering of a Plot by a Taylor in a Ditch fears of blowing up the Thames with Gun-powder to drown the City and Parliament the House of Commons fired by Papists an Army of Papists at Black-heath in Kent an Army of Papists in Lancashire Horses trained under ground at Ragland the Midnight Alarm in London and parts adjacent that the King was
