sleeve hath been their only ware eighteen pence being a Stationers price for a Coppy which presently the learned Author quaffes puffes and pipes away in fecundious Ale and Oderiferous Mundungoe I have called to mind that ever since we began to be Rebells and Schismaticks that we never gaind any Good or did any thing worthy the name of Well done But as our leaders have been mischievously Malitious and Treacherous so we have executed their damnable Inventions to ruine the Protestant doctrine our King and our selves and this is the sweet summe of all our detestable paines and profits Our Inventions and Actions have all been opposite to Piety and Humanity so that if there were no other argument to prove His Majesty to be Godly Good Gratious and every way a compleat unmatchable Prince for His innated virtues our Disloyalty our Aversenesse our Refractory stubbornnesse were sufficient proof of His transcendent Clemency and goodnesse for as lyeing Astronomers when they Prognosticate of a fowle day or an unseasonable Harvest are or should be asham'd when the weather falls out faire temperate and successefull so we with shame horror and terror of consciences may hang downe our wicked Round-heads and blush if we were not past grace when we doe but think how ungratiously undutifully and perfidiously we have dealt with so gratious a Soveraigne upon no other grounds but malicious ignorance If there were no other mark signe or token to prove the Office and dignity of Bishops to be derivative from Christ and the Apostles our opposition is Approbation sufficient that they have been are and ought to be beloved believed Reverenced and Honoured By which consequence it is apparent to all the World that those godly Members which His Majesty hath justly excluded out of his Grace and Favour whom we adore and admire as the Idolatrous Israelites did the Golden Calfe If there were no other demonstration of the foulenesse of their Guilt our servile our slavish our execrable obaying them and their unlawfull Votes is testimony sufficient to prove the Kings exception to be Reall themselves cauterized in their crimes and all we that have adhered unto them to be miserable uncivill simple poore abused cheated Rebellious Coxcombs As the Law of God is a glasse of death wherein men may see their Sin so is the Gospell a glasse of Grace where true penit●nts may see their Saviour And as the Lawes of this Land are in their due execution Rigorous and Terrible to such whose guilty soules tells them that they are plunged in horrible Treasons whereby they have precipitated themselves into the bot●omlesse pit of Despaire and by no means will dare to look the Law ●r Iustice in the face so a cleare and innocent man hath a Breast that is Law proofe he can sleep soundly and eat his meat in quiet and if it chance that he be questioned either by malice or information he cares not and the severest censure he feares not he bears his afflictions with magnanimous fortitude and whether he Live or Dye his sufferings are his Glory And were th●se Almighty Beggermakers those memorable Members and Commanders of our Miseries cleare right as they should be then they would never feare to put themselves to a fai●e and Impartiall tryall of the Law where if then they come handsomely of their accusers will be perpetually infamous and themselves will shine with such a Burnished splendor that shall daz'e the eyes and amaze the soules of their enimies and their memories shall outlast time and dwell in glory with Eternity Therefore my Brethren let me advise you to hearken no more to them they have coufened us too much already they have made us perfect in turning Markes to eighteen pence and Nobles to nine pence and all to nothing yet there is hope though your monies be gone yet you may have a small proportion of Wit left which guided by grace may make you turne a little honest and assure your selves that those who doe dye in this most Horrid and damned Rebellion against their Iust and Lawfull King they doe dye in as desperate a manner as those that murther themselves either by Hanging Stabbing Poysoning Drowning or any other desperate Way Returne God is Gratious and Mercifull despaire not the KING is full of Piety and Clemency FAREWELL FINIS
