kill slay and murther them and this is all th Liberty we poore Wretches yet enjoy from our New Keepers after all our Warre and Sweat that we cannot keepe a penny in our purses nor a good Conscience in our Vocations without being devoured by these Egiptian vermin flung in their Prisons and sacrificed to pining want scorne reproach poverty and misery this is the Image of this Apostatizing State and the Picture of their new Government Now let us returne to record the acts of King Noll he hath alwayes hated the true God reviled and abandoned the Protestant Religion hated the Church and all Discipline and Order therein brought all Law Justice and Power under the cruell restraint of the Sword basely bertayed His late Majesty of blessed memeory into the Isle of VVight where after he was tyred out in a Treatie for the firme establishing of Peace and Concord in this Nation amongst His Subjects was wickedly by his Order removed to Hurst-Castle and from thence to VVinsor and so to Saint Jamses where hee was wickedly reviled most illegally and cruelly murthered by Pilate Bradshaw Judas Cooke Ananias Aske and the rest of that Crew of blood-stucking Tyrants Traytors and Rebels subborned

England though not the twentieth part thereof were agreeing thereto he hath trayterously put guards upon the Parliament that ought not to be forced in the least imprisoned forty at a time of the Members thereof he hath at his sole disposing the Kings Manners Courts Parkes Forrests Chases Bishops Deanes and Chapters Lands the Kings Queens and Princes goods and divides them amongst him and his heirs and yet wracks by Excize Assezment powling and impoverishing the Common people hee hath traiterously changed that happy and ancient Government of King Lords and Commons and hath now imposed upon them a Demorricall and Ararchicall Government consisting of Thieves Knaves and Fooles he hath enforced a new Engagement to be taken To be true and faithfull to the Common-wealth of England as it now stands established This Picture of these three Knave Cromwel Foole Fairfax and Beggerly Bradshaw who now excercize all their Tyranny and Spleen over the Saints of the Most High a vertuous King a learned Clergy a true-hearted Nobility a loyall Gentry and a faithfull Communalty and this is the sad Picture of our present Condition drawn out to the life Now let me draw you the Pict●re of England what it was the Paradice of Europe the Patterne of Piety Beati Populi a Blessed People Where our King like the Sun in the Firmament by his bright raines of Honour gave light to our prosperity where the Queen like the Moon keept a just motion in her Orb and received her light from that Fountaine of Justice her Loyall-hearted Spouse Where their Progeny as numerous as the Planets kept their royall Station in this Earthly Heaven where was no aspects of hatred of discord but conjunctio● of Hearts a Sextile of Vertues a Qartile of Faith and Alegiance a sacred Religion binding all and no opposition nor evill influences in this blest Fabrick here was Caput and Canda the head and the body Unity lincked to Peace Prosperity to Joy Religion to Purity Love to Obedience Loyalty to Faith and Charity to all these walked hand in hand tyd together with that sacred band of Vnitie no contradiction jarring hatred malice murther pilling nor powling by force of Armes Trading was plentifull the people were rich Religion was exercis'd the Law executed every man knew his own sat under his own Vine and eate of the fruit that his own hands had planted but now I cannot write for passion the Subject murders his Prince the Son kills his Father the Brother betrayes his brother blooshed murther rapine hatred malice and all uncharitablenesse no man can beleeve his Neighbour nothing but fraud cozzenage and

war a Kingdome of cruelty an Island of desolation and in fine a confused Choas of all miseries and this is the Picture of Nols Kingdome his Government established without King or House of Lords O let every heroick English-man looke upon this Picture and if a Democritus let him laugh to see what a King of Clouts we have set over us and what fools versalls and slaves we have made our selves and if the Reader be an Hiracletus here is matter for weeping-work enough even to a second deluge poverty anglish griefe woe and lamentation but I believe all true hearts have drunke already a full Cup of Sorrows therefore to conclude this Picture and finish this piece it will not be amisse in the midst of our griefe to make our selves a little mirth and drinke a Health to King CHARLES the II an a Cup of loyall Cannary singing over it this Catch following The CATCH A Health to King Charles saith Tom away with 't saith Ralph like a man God blesse him saith Moll and raise him saith Doll and send him
