Lastly that they have nothing in them of a Parliament but the bare Notion and Place and that the best of their actions doe looke no otherwise then as if with Herostratus their Authors committed them for no other end then to be notorious enough for a Chronicle which for the unworthinesse shall be register'd in the same Catalogue with Litisar the Dyer in the dayes of Richard 2.

But rather then the King shall want strength to overwhelme these Rebels I doubt not but the cloudes will drop downe in a shower of Locusts to devoure them as sometimes in Norwey it hath rain'd Lemmers I doubt not but the people will be one day dis-infatuated That their Seducers like Actaeon may bee eaten up by their owne Hounds But should our successe be worse I would not thinke their cause the better knowing that the Arme is let bloud when the disease lyes in the Stomack and whilest God punishes t is for their faults I shall esteeme their Victory their Judgement So steadfastly resolves The most sollicitous of your welfare *** The SCHOOLEMASTER's Answer I Have read your Letter which hath made me your Convert for the pathos of your stile hath had such strong influence on my reason and the savage performance of those Rebels doth so disprove their faire promises that I confesse my selfe overcome and must Herbam porrigere Now that your Letter may convert others by my example I desire you with the concealement of my name to make it Publici juris for I would Palinodiam canere so loud that all the world might heare it For that respect's sake which you once did beare to me your Master let it in Lacem prodire for there are imperfect Copies flowne abroad from my hands which some intend to commit to Presse Publicae utilitatis ergò My haste for I am now giving Homer's Lecture will let me say no more then that I am A Loyall Subject and a loving friend ○ ○ ○ The Gratulatory REPLY to that ANSWER SIR YOu cannot imagine in what an extremity of joy I now live not so much that I had the honour as the happinesse to convert you as well for my owne sake in whose tender'st thoughts you had a great proportion as more especially for yours who can now looke unhoodwinck't on those men of darknesse who seeke to sacrifice a Majestie to their wilde lusts with whom a great part of people doe commit Idolatrie as the poore Indians worship the Devill that they may doe them no harme not fearing them for love but loving them for feare and so they doe not pay them the Tribute of Reverentiall but Servile Homage Poore soules who hope to flatter Hell into a Sanctuary and so loose their refuge by running to an Asylum like Fannius in Martial who died to avoid death Dic mihi non stultum est ne moriare mori Another part of men thinking Rebellion stronger then Justice doth comply with it because they have too much to loose A third quite contrary because they have too much to get And the last and most to be deplored whose understandings are abused by those grand Machivillians fight against the King in His owne Cause offend Him in His Defence and destroy the Essence of Parliament to preserve the Priviledge of it As if Parliaments like the waters of Bethesda could not cure a leprous Common-wealth before they were troubl'd Or as if the Kingdome like a Watch could not possibly be mended unlesse the wheeles and parts were taken asunder I dare say the least of these foure faults was yours which as you were so much Man as to commit so you have beene so much Christian as to repent And because I was so luckie as to purge your affections though perhaps not so wise as to cleare your Reason I will write as pathetically as my slender skill will give leave and the cause inspire to my Cozen B. for perhaps my youth may worke stronger with him then that age which can wooe him wiser especially because I know he loves me well and hath so faire an example as your selfe to follow Thus farre Sir I have wrote sadly to you give me leave to entertaine you now with a little mirth It is the Love-Elegie of a Politick Amorist which if hee did not make himselfe but procured some body to doe it for him yet I dare sweare the sense is all his owne I have sent the Answer too if both can but procure one smile from your serious forehead I shall thinke the paines of writing it well paid for Carmen Eroticon ab uno Membrorum quinque ad Dilectissimam suam amicam D.
