A64214	The traytors perspective-glass, or, Sundry examples of Gods just judgments executed upon many eminent regicides, who were either fomentors of the late bloody wars against the King, or had a hand in his death whereunto is added three perfect characters of those late-executed regicides, viz. Okey, Corbet, and Barkstead : wherein many remarkable passages of their several lives, and barbarous actions, from the beginning of the late wars, to the death of that blessed martyr Charles the first are faithfully delineated / by I.T. Gent.	J. T. (John Taylor)	1662 (1662)	Wing T521; ESTC R2371	28,672	48

ignominy and general Odium of the people upon him for being guilty of so barbarous a Crime was suddenly after violently surprized with such tormenting passions of Grief Despair that they soon made a separation between his soul and his Body so as he finished his miserable life in the Tower within a few dayes after his Procession to Tyburn Capt. Thomas NOR was the late strange but just Judgement of God less observable upon Captain Thomas that notorious Quaker and violent Agitator in Cromwels Army who having poysoned his Fellow-souldiers with Heresie and Rebellion and perswaded many of them to joyn with him in promoting the Armies Remonstrance for bringing King Charles the first to a speedy Tryal it at length pleased the Almighty in a miraculous manner to revenge the innocent blood of that Blessed Martyr upon this Phanatick Rebel for in the beginning of April last past 1661. he then being in the City of Hereford went to an Apothecaries Shop where he bought some quantity of Acouitum or Rats-bane which having put into Milk he drank it up privately in his Chamber but finding it not of so quick operation as was expected he went back to the Apothecary to be satisfied whether it was right Rats-bane or not that he had sold him He answered it was whereupon he replyed Then I have what I desired and departing back to his Lodging the poyson began to work so violently upon him that within few hours after he in great torment ended his wretched life whose dead body the Magistrates of that City considering the quality of the person and the Lawes against self-murder would not permit to be buried in Christian burial Thus Reader you may see how many several wayes God hath hitherto pleased to execute his vengeance upon the persons and posterity of such men who without any cause nay contrary to Reason Lawes both Divine and Humane yea even in defiance of Heaven dipped their hands in the sacred blood of their lawful Soveraign according to that of the Wise Man The eye that mocketh his Father viz. the King who is stiled Pater Patriae and despiseth his Mother that is the Church called Regni pia Mater the Ravens of the Valley shall pick it out Which judgement we see hath befallen many of the before-mentioned Regicides their heads in several places being become a Spectacle both to Angels and Men and a prey to the Birds of the Air. I shall conclude all with this Exhortatory Advice That though God hath been pleased in his wrath to deprive this Nation of the best and most pious King that ever before raigned over it Yet hath he fince in mercy restored even to admiration His Son to the Throne of His Blessed Father a Prince of such accomplisht Vertues Piety Wisdom and Magnanimity that render Him the delight of his Subjects and a terrour to his Enemies let us therefore lay aside all animosities one against the other and render without grudging unto Caesar the things that are Caesars acknowledging Him Gods immediate Vicegerent without being so impudent as to prescribe Him in what manner or by what means we will be ruled or so Rebellious as to draw our Swords against Gods Annointed under pretence of Religion or publique good But rather with Obedience and Humility submit to His Commands and confess with the Children of Israel Because the Lord hath delighted in us therefore He hath made Him King over us And finally let every good Subject pray that God would send us Peace and Truth preserve His Sacred Majesty and his Posterity and confound the wicked Councels of all such as are Enemies to Peace Piety and Monarchy Amen FINIS Some Books Printed by Phil. Stephens at the Kings Arms over against the Middle Temple Gate in Fleetstreet THE Great Antichrist never till now fully discovered and proved to be neither Pope nor Turk nor any single person nor any one Monarch nor Tyrant in any Politie but a pack or multitude of Hypocritical Heretical Blasphemous and Scandalous wicked men which have fulfilled those P●ophecies of the Scriptures that were fore-spoken of the coming of the Geeat Antichrist and especially have united them together by Solemn League and Covenant to slay the two Witnesses of God The Supreme Magistrate and chief Governour of the Church And the Reader is desired to judge whether the Presbyterians Independents Anabaptists and Lay-Preachers be not the false Prophet and Mystical Soul of the Great Antichrist and the prevalent Faction of the Long Parliament be not the visible body of the Great Antichrist in Folio 7 s.

fire in burning and laying waste their strongest Holds next by the sword in cutting off the chiefest of their Covenanters and lastly by famine in reducing those poor captive Souldiers that were taken after Dumbar fight to such an exegent Dunhar fight Anno 1656. Sep. 3. that above three thousand of them were at Durham starved to death and those who survived were by hunger torced to feed upon the dead bodies of their Countreymen to preserve their own lives And therefore what Martial saith of the Lyon which is the Arms of Scotland I may fitly apply to these treacherous Scots Laeserat ingrato l●● persidus ere Magistrum Ausus tarn not as contaminare manus Sed dignas tante persoluit crimine poenas Et qui non tulerat verb●●a tela tulit A treacherous Lyon hurt his Keeper late Daring those well known hands to violate But for his foul offence he paid full dear Instead of stripes he felt a killing spear Thus you see that God will not suffer any Traytors or Regecides to go unpunished as may further appear by that one remarkable example of Hatto late Bishop of Mentz in Germany who having betrayed his neer Kinsman Allebert Count Palatine of Franconia to whom he had sworn allegiance into the Emperors hands God soon after suffered this Traytor as you may finde in the Chronological Collections of Petreius to be carried away by Devils and to be thrown into a burning pit in Mount Gebel a voyce in the mean time being heard to cry on t in the ayr Sic peccaudo lues sicque ruendo rues Thus art thou worthily punished for thy wicked deeds So heinous are the sins of Treason and Perjury and so just is the Almighty in the severity of his punishments for them that he suffers none who are guilty of such horrid deeds either early or late to escape unpunished And fince I am speaking of these treacherous Scots give me leave to give you a short account of the Life The Marquess of Argsle Actions and End of that ingrateful and perfidious Traytor to his King and Countrey the late Marquess of Argyle whose dealings with his Kindred Friends and Confederates ought to be a warning to all Protestants how they trust such an Apostate Covenanter whose ambition and avarice did ruine the King and Church together with three flourishing Kingdoms and in the conclusion himself His Father having married a second Wife and turned Catholick this his Son obtains by his Majessies favour the possession of his whole estate allowing him a small pension to live upon after whose death he outed his brother of his estate at Kyntire and afterwards cheated his Sisters of 12000 l. given them by the last Will and Testament of their Mother in Law forcing them all for want of maintenance to hazard the loss of their souls by forsaking that Religion they were ever nursed up in and to cloyster themseves up in Nunneries beyond the seas Having thus taken a view of his Religious carriage towards his Parents Friends and Allies let us next observe his deportment towards his Soveraign and how he kept the Solemn League and Covenant with his Brethren in England It cannot be denied but His Majestie did confer many great and Princely favours upon him at his Father in Law the Earl of Mortons desire making him Lord of Lorn with the additional honor and title of Marquess and a full pension well paid him ever fince together with not onely an act of Oblivion but approbation of all his tyranni at proceedings against the Athel men the Earl of Aireley and others But his first endeavour in requiral of all these and many more Royal favours undeservedly heaped upon him was his ent●ing into a conspiracy with his Co●n Lawers and the Ea●l of Lothian who married his Neece and was once heard to say That the three Kingdoms would never have peace so long as King Cha●ls his head was on his shoulders to banish Antrim and the Macdonalds out of Ireland for which he had a great gift and three R●gi●● h●s sent him from the Parliament of England Next he projected to joy● counsel with Say Pierpoint Cromwel and others of the Independant Juncto against the Presbyte●ians doing them that Master-piece of good service first under colour of loyalty and friendship to prevail with his Majestie to return to the Scots Army then at Newark Cromwel subtilly contributing a pass to his Maiesties g●ides with a slack guard that he might the more freely escape Secondly after many loyal speeches for Monarchy the Kingdom of Scotlands interest in the person of the King and many publique and private vows and protestations not to abandon his Majestie without his own consent Contrary to all which he and his Confederates corrupted the loyalty of that once famous Gentleman Lieutenant General David Lesley who had deeply sworn and engaged himself to his Majestie to convey him safely into Scotland or to see him peaceably settled in his Throne in England sorcing him and he prevailing with the Souldiers to abandon his Majestie and leaving him behind now little better then an assured prisoner and the whole power of the sword i● the hands of his bloody enemies the Independants and Sectaries to the ruine and overthrow of the Covenant and the Presbyterian cause in the City and Parliament Which design of his having taken the desired effect he presently by letters encourages the Independant party to proceed in their dethroning votes and accusarion of his Majestie assuring them that no party in Scotland should be able to hinder their proceedings Whereupon they imm-diately imprisoned the King and next erected a High Court of Justice to take away his life and afterwards publiquely murthered him Thus you see Argyle having overthrown all Laws tyrannized over the lives liberties and estates of his Countrey men and contrary to his duty and and allegiance conspired to extirpate all Monatchial Government by betraying his natural Prince into the hands of his enemies and opposing all ways of peace to prevent his Majesties deliverance and the settlement of his Kingdoms Now thinking himself secure in his villanies and having likewise by treachery gotten the person of the Marquess of Montross into his hands whose onely fault was loyalty to his Prince he caused him to be brought with as much ignominy as possibly he could desire to Edinburgh and afterwards to be barbarously murthered just at such time as his Majestie that now is was coming into Scotland even as it were in despite to his Soveraign But God having at length most miraculously restored his Sacred Majestie Charls the second to the Royal Throne of his blessed Father did also put it into his heart to avenge himself upon this underminer of Princes insomuch as this arch Rebel was suddenly seized upon then committed close Prisoner to the Tower in which place he remained till such time as he could be shipped away in order to his tryal at Edinburgh in Scotland where he was legally convicted of
