Written by SAMVEL CHIDLEY AND Printed to satisfy all his Friends 1652. A VINDICATION OF Lieut. Col. JOHN LILBURNE and others DAvid Browne the Pamphleteer who undertaketh to teach men to write in six hours is one whom LIEUT COL JOHN LILBORN and my selfe with divers others whom hee maliciously inveighs against have releived or else he and his Family might have perished for ought I know And since he was delivered unto Satan for his wicked and notorious lies and dissimulations the devill in whose hands he is hath stirred him up to be more envious and malicious then ever that he may be transformed more perfectly in to his own image Who walketh to and fro like a roaring Lyon seeking whom he may devoure and persecuting the Church who is cloathed with the Sun of Righteousnesse and unto whose feet the Law of God is a light making warre with the remnant of her seed who keep the testimony of God and the faith of Jesus And his malice is principally bent against those who are most conscientious and precious in the eyes of the Lord as may appear in the story of holy Job who was greatly afflicted on every side both in his Person Name and Estate but in due time God vindicated his reputation before all men and did blesse his latter end more then his beginning and so if we mark the end of such perfect and upright persons behold it is peace but the wicked is like the raging Sea foaming out mire and dirt meer mire and dirt somewhat like to the dirty Pamphlet of David Brown the Scottishman the Frontis-peece whereof seemeth to insinuate to the simple honest Reader as if LIEUT COL JOHN LILBORNE my selfe and Mr. Musgrave were prodigious Conspirators and bloody Petitioners but he that reads the Pamphlet may perceive that he hath no such thing against us blessed be God But the sum of it is A remembrance to put the Parliament in mind of the discovery which he made of a Malignant Petition wherein he complaineth that he was not rewarded for the said Discovery and stileth himselfe and his Family the Parliaments Remembrancers so his whole Petitionary Remonstrance is a begging businesse for maintenance and protection from Arrests Surely he thought that now now was the time for him to strike while the iron was hot and that now the Parliament were necessitated to hear and receive his counsel and to regard him and reward him seeing he had taken upon him now in the heat of all the businesse to be their Advocate and to plead their cause against poor Lilborne who was down and therefore according to the Proverb downe with him but it s well that neither the Parliament nor Sir Arthur Hesilrige stand in need of the untempered morter of such unskilfull Daubers to maintain their Bulwarks against the Levellers I hope rather then they will countenance such revengefull spirits they will feed their Enemy when he is hungry and give him drink when he is thirsty for the Parliament of themselves are very milde to their Enemies if not provoked against them by some others It may be that this Pamphleteir thought that rather then he would want worke he would set himselfe on work if the Devill will find him tooles but as Christ would not have such Advocates to confesse that he was the Son of God but commanded the Devills to hold their peace So it s better for the Parliament to silence such Babblers then to suffer themselves to be so disgraced by having their praise set forth in scurrillous Pamplets such as this Authours who not knowing which way to be revenged of me for doing my duty in the Church of which I am and he was a Member he laboreth to make me as odious as he can to the world and to the State and at the time of Lilbornes sad sentence chargeth me in chiefe with him and divers others in general in his Pamphlet to the Parliament with falsenesse manifold calumniations corrupt practises unjust dealings deceit fraud ambition covetousnes and selfe-seeking and unjust Levelling and though he chargeth divers others with me yet he hath not named them no more doth he come to particulars to shew wherein we are as he chargeth us And truly though I hope well for my Neighbours yet I beleeve for my selfe And if I thought it expedient to Vindicate my selfe from the title of Leveller I would tell this false Accuser that if I am a Leveller I am no Leveller of the Vallies but a Leveller of the MOUNTAINS that the way of Jesus Christ may be prepared that all flesh may see the salvation of our God and this was the designe of John the Baptist and I hope no honest man will be offended with me for this manner of Levelling nor account it unjust But Herod heard John the Baptist gladly but at last he cut off his head and so he levelled the honest Leveller Moreover I am so far from levelling the Lawes That if the Parliament would put in practice their Legislative power and cast aside all the Lawes of the Land the Lawes excepted which they have no power to abolish and yeeld obedience to those good Laws and none but such they may sit long enough for me I would not be forward to seek a new Representative but a true Representative But oh Where shall we find men of courage fearing God and hating covetousnesse therefore my opinion is it s better to have and to hold these that we have then have worse the Proverb is Seldome comes a better But when the Land doth mend I would have this Parliament end and not till then So far am I from unjust Levelling that I would not pull an old house over mine head but prepare sufficient materialls to build up another that should be rather better then worse
