General went so far West that he fell into the sea at Plimouth and rose again at Portsmouth the whilst Sir Wil. Waller went up a hil as high as Worcester and then came down again The Earl of Manchester came from York to Dunnington Castle with a great Army and there stood stil Sir Iohn Hotham was for the Parliament and after for the Privy Councel The Privy Councel and Parliament ought to fast and pray For they are the evil Stars the Scots do say Whose influence hath had an evil inclination To end few causes but for a prolongation Of controversy which is their trade and occupation Like Italy Spain France whence came the fashion France the continent of strife that vice hither came Transported by the Norman to be Island of the same And could a Norman bastard beget a righteous Law That were such a wonder as no man ever saw The Parliament have sworn to repent of that sin And if the Privy Councel would once begin It would be an acceptable and seasonable thing Not only to God of heaven but also unto men M. Peters wisht 10000 from New England to cause the Councel repent As 20000 from Scotland did make the Parliament And so frame the Law as plain as the Gospel According unto the Scots and Hollanders example Of best reformed Churches and leaven the whole earth That of righteousnes true holines there be no dearth Lex Angliae est ancilla Religionis pontificia Roma pietatis Antichristus Anglia justitiae Witness Philip the 2 of Spain vide Guiniardine And K.
