And Act according to Kirk Principles More subtile then were Delphick Oracles For let him lye dissemble kill and slay Hee 's a good Prince that will the Kirk obey This blind obedience teach the Popes of Rome And Popes of Lambeth we have had at home Whose doctrine made our English royall State As odious as the Italian Potentate But now the Scots all falshoods do engrosse And will defend them with St. Andrews Cross They will protest against all violence ' Gainst sacred Kings yet blast their innocence Abhor that Civil Power that dares take The life of Kings away yet way will make For justice stroke both by their Tongue and Pen And then accuse our State for Murthering men Did not the Kirk-men Presbyrerian Scots Thus Crowne and Scepter with the righteous spots Of blood and tyrannie besmeare and stir our State To doe Heroick Justice and t' expiate With blood the blood of many thousands spilt By one whom they more infamous with guilt Of horrid murther made then all those ten Vile persecuting Emperours and monstrous men But Law and Justice at the last being done On the hated Father now they love the Son And now have Crown'd their Convert Proselyte Whom they adore if he adore the right And dictates of the Scottish Hierarchie With which the Crowne and Scepter must comply And be subordinate unto for Kirk must rule This is a Tenet of the Romish Schoole Then stoop gued King it was thy Fathers Fate To be so indulgent to that grand Prelate Whose old impostures now have gul'd and can Transforme a Scottish Levite from a man Into a Monster Sphinx whose knotty sense In his darke riddles nones intelligence Could extricate so Kirk-mens subtile stiles Wrapt in religious Covenants beguiles The Laick Jockies who at their command Will daret invade and spoile their Neighbours Land Turne Jockie turne for gold will turne thy heart And make thee to renounce in Christ a part The Grindstone to make sharp thy Levites Laws Or else t' abate the edge of regall Cause And priviledge And Jockie for thy paines Great treasures pleasures offices and gaynes Shall be thy large Reward when England's wonne Till then hang on the hopes which thou hast spunne Loe here the Chicken of the Eagle lies Like to be made a Scottish Sacrifice But wants he King-craft to create a Plot To undermine the Sicophanting Scot No hee 'l a Presbyterian Brother be And vow to ratifie their Hierarchie Nay more hee 'l not disdaine in shew to be Subject to their proud Kirk's Supremacie The Sins of 's Fathers house he will bewaile Mourne and lament under a Scottish Veile But this religious mock we all shall see Will soone the downfall of their Fabel be Rouze up true English Hearts and let them see The sad effects of Mask't Hypocrisie Curbe their proud hearts that they in time may know That God is working of their overthrow Yet why should valiant Souldiers fight and toyle To get the nothing of a barren soyle And for a speedy issue to these wars Heaven send them store of fearfull fatall jarres As in a Glasse that they though late may see What 't is attends the STEWARD's Family COurteous Reader Although this Emblme doth chiesly represent the Rigid Presbyterie of Scotland yet it is too apparent they have many Friends both of the Clergy and Gentry in England that are not behind hand in assisting them in their present actings and for so much as concernes our present occasion I shall briefly cite Mr. Lilie's words expressed in his Astrologicall predictions this present yeare 1651. wherein he ingeniously confesseth he hath no malice either to Presbyterian or Malignant except they disturb our quiet and molest our present Government and Councell of State but in the second page of his booke he describs the Parliament of England's perfectionall figure for the 11. yeare of their sitting from which he concludes the Genuine sense of that quadrant aspect runns thus or doth signifie in effect thus that our present state shall be still a great part of this yeare dangerously molested and pestered by a refractorie people of their owne called a Scotified Clergy a generation of men from whom both the Spirit of Truth and the meeke Spirit of obedience due by the Lawes of God unto their Superiors is departed certainly these men doe our Parliament more mischiefe and whole Nation moe prejudice then an Army of Forraigne Forces would doe let God reward them according to their iniquity from the second figure he concludes that the present power or Counsell of State shall stand firme and shall not be dissolved by any earthly power worldly force or treacherie during this annuall resolution Observe this also viz. That forty yeares were the English under the government of two Scottish Kings even just as many yeares as the Children of Israel did wander in the Wildernesse before they came unto rest God hath now delivered us from that servitude and wee are very neere entring into the Land of Canaan viz. liberty if we repine not at Gods mercies nor rebell against his authority wee shall assuredly enjoy it 2 The grand cause of the Scots being at variance and enmity with us is our change of government and why may not England change againe a third and a fourth time if they see good and aske Scotland no leave it being a right in all Nations to alter their government for the publique benefit Scotland may take notice how long they were in former times without a King and how little power they afforded him certainely it was their antient custome to hold his Nose to it with the Bridle both of Kirke and State so that this is no new or strange Embleme of them the difference betwixt them is this that wee having cast off their King it is their designe to settle him upon us againe by force they proclaimed him King of Great Brittaine c. But wee have more reason to breake the line of succession made up of tyranny cruelty and oppression The Norman bastard the Father of them all had no other title to the Crowne but his long sword by which he became Conquerour against the Lawes and liberties of England and after him proceded his Sonnes and their Successors obtained the Crowne one from another by power and policie till the time of Henry the seventh who laid claime to it by the same title also of Conquest after he had slaine Richard the third save that he descended from a Bastard of John of Gaâ—nt and from this King did our late Tyrant King CHARLES derive his title he being descended from a Daughter of that Henry married into Scotland by vertue whereof his Father K. James by the unhappy policie of some Courtiers did obtaine the Crowne who was then attended with a heavy curse and terrible plague into England if it were no more but the weake and unjust title of the usurping pretenders the English Nation have sufficient cause to cast off this accursed Monarchie but which is more through all their reigne hath been exercised a constant course of tyranny for not one of them since William the Conquerour but did exceedingly abuse and enslave the people as the Chronicle makes mention So that it was nobly done of our Parliament to lay hold on a season of liberty after the Nation had groaned under slaverie for five or six hundred yeares Suppose the title of this young King had been good and right hath not the Fathers treason cut off the Sonne hath he not from the beginning been in actuall warre against the Parliament hath he not had his Fathers Counsellours and principles and hath he not been bred up under poperie and prelacie and hath had hand in the blood of the three Nations making use of all Parties to serve his owne malicious ends and interest and are not Englands eyes yet open to see what will be the sad condion and wofull effects of it If they should be so base spirited as to suffer this young pretender to take rooting againe to bring them back into slaverie and Monarchcall bondage a yoake too heavy for Englands shoulders to beare I wil conclude with an old Prophesie of a Jesuite in Hen.
