The Spirit OF THE PHANATIQVES DISSECTED AND The solemne League and Covenant solemnly discussed in 30 Queries By William Collinne Gent. Printed for F. Wallis 1660. THE PHANATIQUES dissected I. WHether the two Millions and odd summ of monies borrowed by the late long Parliament will ever be repayed to the right owners thereof II. Whether Lilly the Astrologer by all his rules of Astrologie can calculate the time when the same shall be repaied III. Whether Lilly ought to be trsted in this calculation since he varies as much in his calculations of the fuccesses of the late perfidious King of Sweden as in his impudent reports of young Richard our small reigning late Protector IV. Whether Lilly spoke not truth at unawares when he in his Almanack said about this time the King of Sweden should have some considerable loss he now having lost his life V. Whether Lilly will call him any longer the victorious King of Sweden since he hath met with one which hand to hand hath overcome him VI. Whether the Kings of Poland and Denmarke have not as much cause to rejoyce at the Death of the King of Sweden as we of the kingdome of England of the death of that Divel seeming Saint Oliver VII Whether the solemne League and Covenant can be said to be performed in it's being barely new shewn to the world without Charles Stuart eldest Sonne to the late King be restored to the inheritance of the Crown according to these words in the Covenant Viz. The Honor and Happinesse of the Kings Majesty and his posterity VIII Whether if this be not performed it can be said any other but that the Covenant is a meer collusion to the people and a sworn for-sworn Covenant IX Whether any of these Members of Parliament commonly called and known by the name of the â—UMP ought to have any Vote in any succesâ—â—â— Paâ—liament they all according to the solemne League and Covenant being guilty of most notorious perjury X. Whether upon this new change DUN hath not good cause to be merry his work in all probability being like to go forward a pace this next Spring XI Whether it be not Tichbourn and Iretons best pollicy to speak to Dun before hand to use them as kindly as they have done others that is to shew them no more mercy then they shewed to the late Kings Majesty in craving and passing the unjust sentence of death against him XII Whether that saying in the Scripture he that digs a pit for another shall fall into it himself be not sufficiently verified XIII Whether Tho. Mâ—wcomb his speaking of the great prejudice of the reformed cause throughout Christendome by the death of the King of Sweden that perfidious Prince meane not the Reformation of the pretended Good old Cause by reason he and Oliver were so great Machivillians XV. Whether T. and I. arsâ—â—s makes nor buttons or whether they may not be reputed to stand like quaking puddings XVI Whether T. and I. had not better have studied Honesty then so much Divinity since they are become of any or no Religion at all XVII Whether they that were never true to any trust as T. and I. ought ever to be trusted again XVIII Whether Alderman Atkins his sitting in the Parliament House may not properly be compared to a chip in a messe of pottage XIX Whether the Godfathers and Godmothers of Praise God Barebone are not like most godfathers and godmothers that is to promise much and perform little or whether they are not sufficiently deserving to be called neglective in seeing and suffering him to be brought up in such Heretical opinions that in all his actions he rather blasphemes then praises God XX. Whether it may not be supposed and finally concluded that vain Sir Harry prodigious Sir Arthur purjured Oliver if alive unchast Harry the cheating Lord Mounson and the long winded Speaker my namesake in letters W. L. with the rest of the RUMP would non willingly go to the Pope for a dispensation of all their villanies XXI Whether honest men have not good cause to wish they would all go thither and never return since they never bred any thing but disturbances in our State and that the pope being the grand incendiary of those persons to foment our distractions he ought not to take his own children home to his own Church and afterwards send them to Purgatory there to repent at leisure for their villanies XXII Whether I. M. his ready and easie way to establish a Common-wealth without re-admitting of Kingship which Tho. Newcomb mentions in his advertisements and paraphrastical book of Thursday the 8th instant be not borrowed in copy from the States of Holland or whether such a fool as the Author deserve not to be sent to Bridewell for pretending so much good to his Country and dare not shew his name to his Libell XXIII Whether his new frame of a Common-wealth without re-admitting of Kingship together with that fool Harringtons ought not to be sent to terra incognita or Sir Th. Moors Utopia together with the Authors themselves to frame a free State there XXIV Whether any ingenious person can choose but laugh at these fools assertions and pretence of maintaining such a rediculous thing as a free State since in 12 years time we have found by experience the Nation never was more Quiet then when governed by a single person XXV Whether Fleetwood and those Members of Parliament the RUMP ought not to have blow coats given to each one of them lac't with yellow lace as a Livery due and fit for their ambitious foolery XXVI Whether Overtons fifth Monarchy be not quite extinct XXVII Whether the poor Prisoners can ever expect to have an Act for their release so long as Wil. Lenthal be Speaker of any Parliament he making it a point and Article of his Religion and faith that rather then break his Brother Sir Ioh. by such a dissection ten thousand souls should perish XXVII Whether Lenthal the Speaker having let so many blood ought not now to be let blood himself for fear the superfluity of blood cause him to be more bloody or that the 400 and odd thousand pounds he put in his pocket upon Gentlemens compositions for their estates at five pound a man ought not to be borrowed of him and go towards the payment of the publike debts of the Nation XXIX Whether the next Parliament now to be summoned can properly be called a Free Parliament if tyed to restrictions or Qualifications XXX Whether Lilly ought not to have notice of all these Quries and go a Star-gazing after they are all resolved and then compile a new Almanack of truths for the year ensuing lest if he judge before hand he be as much erroniously mistaken as heretofore FINIS
