no sooner projected by some evil Malignant Jesuited Counsellers about the late King but it was presently condemned and crushed in the very shell when first intended to be set on foot in England by King Charls with the advise and consent of his privie Council at White-Hall by a Commission under the Great Seal of England dated the last of February 3 Caroli issued to thirty three Lords of his Majesties Privie Council and others which authorized commanded them to raise monies BY IMPOSITIONS OR OTHERWISE as they in their wisdoms should finde most convenient and that only for these publike uses THE DEFENCE OF THE KING KINGDOM PEOPLE and of the Kings Friends and Allies beyond the Seas then in such imminent danger that WITHOUT EXTREAMEST HAZARD OF THE KING KINGDOM PEOPLE KINGS Friends and Allies it could admit of no longer delay In which INEVITABLE NECESSITY form and circumstance must rather be dispenced with than the substance lost The Commissioners being thereupon specially injoyned to be diligent in the Service and not fail therein as they tender his Majesties Honour and THE SAFETY OF THE KING and PEOPLE This Commission was no sooner discovered but it was presently complained of by the whole Commons House in the Parliament of 3 Caroli and upon Conference with the Lords it was immediately Voted adjudged by both Houses without one dissenting voyce TO BEE EX DIAMETHRO AGAINST LAW and CONTRARY TO THE PETITION OF RIGHT after which it was cancelled as such in the Kings own presence by his consent order and then sent cancelled to both Houses for their satisfaction before ever it was put in execution and all Warrants for and memorials of it cancelled damned destroyed the Commons further urging That the Projector thereof might be found out by strict inquiry and EXEMPLARILY PVNISHED as the Parliament Journal attests notwithstanding all the specious pretences of inevitable necessity imminent danger and the defence safety of the whole Kingdom People King and his forreign Protestant Friends and Allies then in greater real danger than any now appearing This Original Parliamentary Doom Judgement against that New Monster of Excise was ratified approved pressed by both Houses of Parliament in the Cases of Ship-money and the Commission of Array as you may read at large in Mr. Oliver St. Johns Speech and Declaration delivered at a Conference of both Houses concerning Ship-money 14 January 1640. printed by the Commons Order p. 13. to 20. and The Lords and Commons second Declaration against the Commission of Array Exact collection p. 884 885. from which they then drew this positive conclusion fit to be now considered by our New Governours and the whole Nation THAT TO DEFEND THE KINGDOM IN TIME OF IMMINENT DANGER IS NO SUFFICIENT CAVSE for the King and his Council much less then for those who condemned suppressed them for Tyrants and Oppressors of the People TO LAY ANY TAX OR CHARGE UPON THE SUBJECTS WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT IN PARLIAMENT Yea the whole House of Commons was so zealous against this Dutch Devil of Excise that in their Remonstrance of the state of the Kingdom 15 Decemb 1641. Exact Collection p. 3 4 6. they expresly brand censure the first Attempts to introduce it for A MALIGNANT and PERNI●IOUS DESIGN TO SUBVERT THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS and PRINCIPLES OF GOVERNMENT upon which the JUSTICE OF THIS KINGDOM WAS FORMERLY ESTABLISHED as proceeding from JESUITED COVNSELS BEING MOST ACTIVE and PREVAILING yea for AN UNJUST and PERNICIOVS ATTEMPT TO EXTORT GREAT PAYMENTS FROM THE SUBJECTS Which was to be accompanied as now it is with Billited Souldiers in all parts of the Kingdom and the concomitant of German as now of English HORSE That the LAND MIGHT EITHER SUBJECT WITH FEAR or BE ENFORCED WITH RIGOVR TO SUCH ARBITRARY CONTRIBUTIONS AS SHOVLD BE REQVIRED OF THEM And when some rumours were first spread abroad that the COMMONS HOVSE INTENDED TO LAY EXCISE UPON PEW●ER AND OTHER COMMODITIES they were so sensible of the injustice and odiousness thereof that they thereupon published a special Declaration printed 8 Octob. 1642. Exact Collection p. 638. wherein they not only disclaim renounce any such intention but branded those Reports and Rumours for FALSE and SCANDALOVS ASPERSIONS raised and cast upon the House BY MALIGNANT and ILL-AFFECTED PERSONS TENDING MUCH TO THE DISSERVICE OF THE PARLIAMENT and Ordered That the AVTHORS OF THEM should be inquired aftèr apprehended and brought to the House TO RECEIVE CONDIGNE PUNISHMENT After which this Excise being notwithstanding this Disclaimer and much publick private opposition against it set on foot by some swaying Members upon a pretence of necessity for support of the Army to the great Oppression and Discontent of the People The Generall and general Council of Officers and Souldiers of THE ARMY themselves were so sensible of this illegal oft-condemned New grievance that in the Heads of their Proposals and particulars of their Desires in order to the clearing and securing of the Rights and Liberties of the Kingdom tendred to the Commissioners of Parliament residing with the Army the first of August 1647. printed in their Book of Declarations p. 118 published by their own and the Lords House special Order they ●ade this one principall Desire to the Parliament That the EXCISE may be taken off from such Commodities whereof the poor of the Land do ordinarily live and A CERTAIN TIME TO BE LIMITED FOR TAKING OFF THE WHOLE Yet notwithstanding all these Judgements and Out-cryes against it some of those very persons who thus publickly branded it both in the Parliament House and Army by irregular paper Ordinances as they intitle them dated 24 December 1653. March 17. 1653. and May 4. 1654. have by their own Self-derived supertranscendent Authority without yea against the Peoples consents or any Authority from Parliament imposed continued Excise upon our own Inland and Forreign Commodities in very high proportions from the twenty fourth of March 1654. till the twenty fourth of March 1655.

King was Ingaged in the wars against the Scots with certain prayers added For their good success in that Designe against the Scots For the more effectuall carrying on whereof the Popes Nuncio with the Colledge of Jesuites then in Queen-street secretly summoned a kind of Parliament of Roman Catholicks and Jesuites in London out of every County of England and Wales in which Conne the Popes Nuncio sate President by the Queens commission and direction in April 1639. Who granted and collected an extraordinary large Contribution by way of Subsidy from the Papists to carry on this war against our Protestant Brethren of Scotland and raise forces to joyne with the Spainards whom they then expected to cut the English Protestants throats The Jesuitical and Prelatical Popish party much displeased with the defeat of this their Plot by the unexpected Pacification with the Scots 1639. induced the King soon after to break and revoke it Anno 1640. the very year of the Jesuites Jubilee which they solemnized in all places being the 100. yeer from the first Erection of their Order by Ignatius Anno 1540. they caused a new Army to be raised and sent into the North against the Protestants of Scotland to subdue destroy them At the same time they secretly listed an Army of no less then 7000. Romish Catholickes kept in private pay of purpose To cut the Protestants throats who should resist them and to Conquer the Protestants in England first and then in Ireland which Designe they were to put in execution when the Pope or his Legat with the Spanish French and Venetian Ambassadours should appoint who designed them to begin to execute it When the King went into Scotland against the Scots as O Conner the Queen-Mothers Priest confessed to Anne Hussey who justified it to the Lords of the Councel then and afterwards before the Lords in Parliament upon her Oath The Jesuites were so confident of the good success of their designes amongst us and compleat Victory over all the Protestants throughout the world this yeare of their Jubilee making Triumph over their Enemies one of their Notes of the true Church that they appointed a solemne Enterlude to be acted by their Society in the publique Hall at Aquisgran in Germany in honour of their Jubilee wherein they signified to the people by printed Tickets and Pageants that the Popish Church of Rome should be brought in upon the Stage happily fighting against triumphing and reigning over all her enemies every where throughout the world in all ages till that present day and especially of later times by their meanes The beginning of this Enterlude being happily acted and succeeding according to their mindes at last there were two Armies of soldiers brought by them upon the Stage ready to encounter each other the one of Jesuites and Papists fighting for the Church of Rome the other representing the Protestants warring against her Before their fight a Jesuitical actor clad in black personating a Popish Masse-Priest divineth good success to the Popish Army praying for it with an affected devotion and solemne invocation or rather profanation of Gods name after which the Popish Army of actors as being certain of the instant victory uttered these words to their Captain as their parts directed them with a loud reiterated voyce and shout Pereat Pereat Quisquis est hostis Ecclesiae Let him perish let him perish whoever is an enemy of the Church whereupon a great part of the Stage on which they acted together with the whole Popish Army not one Souldier or Captain excepted at the repeating of these words and wishes fell to the ground immediately with so great celerity that many of them felt they were fallen down before they discerned themselves to fall their feigned enemies of the Church representing the Protestants standing all fast at least in place if not in mind on the other part of the Stage which fell not at all With this sudden fall many of the Popish Army were bruised in peeces with the beames of the Stage falling upon them who through pain and horror needed Monitors to silence their outcries others having their bones broken and Limbes put out of joynt were carried to the Chirugions to be dressed and all the rest confounded with shame crept away secretly under the Veile to their Lodging And so this Jesuitical Enterlude by divine justice ended in a real unexpected bloody Tragedy and real rout of the whole pretended victorious Popish Army of Jesuites and the Scotish Wars that yeer which they so much depended on through Gods mercy concluded in a blessed Peace and Union between both Nations Whereupon the Irish Popish Rebels by the Jesuites Plots and instigations seconded with secret encouragements and promises of assistance with Arms and Moneys from Cardinal Richliou the King of Spain Pope and other forraign Popish Princes undertook the late horrid bloody Massacre of all the Protestants in Ireland and surprisal of all the Forts Castles Arms and Ammunition therein on the 23 of October 1641. being Ignatius day the Founder and New Canonized Saint of the Jesuited Society for the greater Honour of their Patron Order they being the chief Plotters of this horrid bloody Treason Which horrid Conspiracie though happily discovered the night before its execution at Dublin and some few places else yet it took effect in most other parts of Ireland to the slaughter of neer two hundred thousand Protestants there in few months space seconded with a bloody Warre for sundry years to the losse of many thousands more lives To this Plot all the Papists in England were privy who intended the like Massacre in England and soon after by the Popes and Jesuits instigations by the assistance of sorragin Popish Princes they eugaged the King and Parliament in a long-lasting bloody uncivill unchristian war against each other concluding in the Kings and Parliaments joynt ruines by an Army raised for their mutual defence seduced thereunto through the Jesuits instigations and policies After which they engaged the Protestants of England and Scotland formerly united by the strictest B●nds and Covenants against them to war upon invade and destroy each other by land and soon after that by the Spanish Agents Assistance raised a most dangerous bloody Warre between our Protestant old Allies of the Neitherlands and the English by Sea to the infinite dammage prejudice of both and the effusions of whole Oceans of the Gallantest Christian Protestant blood that ever yet was shed the expence of more treasure and men in these intest●●e Wars than would have conquered all Spain Italy and the Indies had they been imployed upon such a designe and to the entailing of a perpetuall Army on us and our Posterities more ready as we have of late years found by sad experiments to hearken to the Jesuits clandestine suggestions ●eductions and execute their
