that being here the Faiths defender he may still be defended by the object of that Faith Nor is the providentiall hand of God more visible in prospering him then in punishing his Enemies whose ruines may remaine as Sea-markes to us and Pyramids of Gods Power whereof a touch Sir John Hotham then Governour of Hull who first defyed and dared his Soveraigne to his face what is become of him How stands he a Marke betwixt two dangers having nothing left him but guile enough to make him capable of a desperate Fortune Master Hampden that first waged Law then War against his own naturall Prince hath not he since these unhappy troubles began bin first punished with the losse of children nay visited to the third Generation to the weakning if not ●●ining of his Family then with the losse of his own life in the same place where he first tooke up armes against his gracious Soveraigne was it not remarkable that the Lord Brook who so often excepted against that clause in the Lyturgie From sudden death good Lord deliver us was slaine so suddenly who was so severe an enemy against Peace should perish in the same Warre ●e so encouraged Who so bitterly inveighed against Episcopall Government should be so shot dead out of a Cathedrall Church who labouring to put out the left eye of establisht Government his left eye and life were both put out together How is Duke Ham●l●on scarce warme in his new honour taken in his owne ●●re having entangled his Lord and Master in so many inconveniences How is Holland whose livelyhood was created by his Soveraigns favours branded with a double treachery and like a Shittlecock fallen at the first returne and scarce able to raise himselfe by a sorry Declaration Is not Bristoll Fines who at his Councell of War condemned and executed innocent blood himselfe condemned pleading innocence at a Councell of War from the mouth of his owne Generall though finding perchance more Mercy then he either deserved or shewed But that blood that cryed to him for Mercy will crie to Heaven for vongeance And are not many more ripe for the same Judgement whose notorious Crimes have branded them for their respective Punishments How many of those blood-preaching Ministers have died expectorating Blood whilst others at this time labouring under the same Disease can find no Art to promise a Recoverie All whom I leave to possible Repentance and passe over Cromwell that profest desacer of Churches witnesse Peterborough and Lincolne c. and Rifler of the Monuments of the dead whose prphane Troopers if Fame has not forgot to speak a Truth watered their Horses at the Font and fed them at the Holy Table that Cromwell Sandes whose sacrilegious Troopers committed such barbarous insolencies with his at least connivence in the Church of Canterbury and used such inhumane tortures on the tender brests of women to force confession of their hidden goods the golden subjects of their Robberie What can the first expect and what reward the other hath found I neither prophesie nor judge If these and such as they doe fight for the Beformed Religion God deliver every good man both from them and it Cursed be their wrath for it is fierce and their anger for it is cruell These and of such many are they that whilst they pretend a Reformation need first to be reformed Nor doe I in tasking this Army of such impious barbarismes excuse or rather not condemn the other whereof no question too great a number are as equally prophane whilst all together make up one body of wickednesse to bring a ruine on this miserable Kingdome for whose impieties his Majestie hath so often suffered I but his Majesties Army besides those looser sorts of people consills of numerous Papists the utter enemies of true religion To whom the King hath sworn his protection from those he may require assistance But unto all his people as well Papists as Protestants he hath sworne his Protection therefore from all his subjects as well Papists as Protestants he may require assistance Neither does he call in Papists as Papists to maintaine Religion as himselfe hath often manifested but as subjects to subdue or at least qualifie Sedition The ayd of the subject is either in his person or in his purse both are requirable to the service of a Soveraigne Put case his Majestie should use the assistance of none but Protestants Tell me would ye not be apt to cavill that he is favourable to the Papists neither willing to endanger their persons nor endamage their purses or at least that they are reserv'd for a last blow Or in case Papists should largely under-write to your Propositions send in Horses Armes or other Provisions would you not accept it and for its sake their persons too Are you so strict in your Preparations as to catechize every souldier Or to examine first every Officers Religion Or having the proffer of a good Popish or debaucht Commander tell me should he be denyed his Commission Remember Sir Arthur Ashton whom His Majesty entertains by your Example These things indifferently considered it will manifestly appeare that the honest-minded vulgar aremeerly seduced under the colour of piety to be so impious as by paysoning every action of their lawfull Prince to foster their implicite Rebellion But in case your side should prosper and prevaile what then would then our Misertes be at an end Reason tells us No God keeps us from the experience Think you that Government whether new or reformed which is set up by the sword must not be maintained by the sword And how can Peace and Plentie be consistent with perpetuall Garrisons which must be maintained with a perpetuall charge besides the continuall excursions and conniv'd-at injuries committed by Souldiers judge you Or put the case this necessary Consequence could be avoided think you the ambition of some new States-men accustomed to such Arbitrary and necessitated power on the one side and the remaining loyaltie of His Majesties dis-inherited Subjects watching all opportunities to right their injur'd Soveraigne and themselves on the other side would not raise perpetuall tempests in this Kingdome Or if such an almost unpreventable evill should not ensue think you such swarmes of Sectaries sweat for nothing Are their purses so apt to bleed to no end Will not their costs and paines expect at least a congratulatory connivence in the freedome of their consciences Or will their swords now in the strong possession of so great a multitude know the way into their quiet scabbards without the expected liberty of their Religions And can that liberty produce any thing but an establisht disorder And is not disorder the mother of Anarchie and that of Ruine Open then your eyes closed with crasse and wilfull blindnes and consider and prevent that which your continued disobedience will unavoidably repent too late But the truth is They are all Papists by your Brand that comply not in this action with you Admit
