midnight that Sindercomb was poisoned and then let any man judge how he came by his end And shall my lungs that have been such imcomparable Bellows to blow the Coales in these three Nations be stifled and suffocated with a Pillow or Boulster No! I 'le warrant you I shall make a fairer end than so for all that But give me leave to tell you sir Since the last time we conferred together in this place the people have been all overjoyed And on Tuesday night the eight of May instant they made room for you at Tower hill by digging up the body of Sindercomb and removing of it to some other place not onely burning the Land-mark which you caused to be driven through him to shew your right and title to the ground but the very Scaffold it self whereon you caused Sir Henry Slingsby Dr. Hewet and many more to be beheaded under which Sindercomb was laid Nay more sir That very day the Son of the late King by the name of CHARLS the II. was proclaimed with very great solemnity rejoycing to be King of England Scotland France Ireland both at Westminster and over all the City of London by the joynt Consent Concurrence of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament and there never was the like day seen in London Cromw What 's this the Son of the late King proclaimed Why then Peters all my Cunning has failled me and that 's it that vexeth disquieteth all our Infernal Court I 'le warrant thee But the wisemans sentence is verified Foelix criminibus nullus erit d●ù States built in Crimes shall soon be overthrown True it is that the lust of ruling caused me to tumour to such a monstrosity that nothing could gratifie my desires but Ra●ines and Murders and yet thou knowest how closely I pursued the example of Clopius the Romane Tribune and the Counsel of Machivel ever to pretend Religion and Providence for a Warrant for my Villanies besides I never refused the daily suggestions and motives used by thy self to me for the more plausible and hypocritical conduct of my affairs Pet. Truly Sir I have been alwayes of opinion and judgement that a man who will be in practice a skilfull Fencer must not alwayes play at Sharps or lay on dry blows but sometimes falsifie a little for advantage And my principall Doctrine is That an Ounce of Hypocrisie and prous fraud by tried experience I have found it will carry a man out in some Passages better than a pound of down-right honesty and good Conscience Cro. T is very true Peters that Hypocrisie Jugling thou speakest of is that which carried me with so much honour out of the World into the highest favour of my Infernal Soveraign and no question but in due time and ere it be long it will send thee of an Errand to me and then I shall as of duty be gratefull to thee for thy good services Oh! how much I am indebted to thee for Pimping so handsomely for me at Liecester where thou knowest I defloured a young Virgin of a rare composure and onely by thy solicitation to her by whom I had a sinister daughter which much troubles my Conscience that I left it no better provided for at my departure Nay And what do I not ow thee for thy versutious Complements to my Lady Lambert whose beauty and elegance bewitched my affections as thou well knowest so that I could not forbear toying and tickling her at my son Ireton's Funeral in Somerset-house before all the Company And what did we then privately at the Cock-pit I prethee Pet. Oh Sir you made sweet work on 't I 'le warrant you I 'm sure you have made J. Lambert beetle brow'd ever since and so damnable jealous of his Wife that he left her in special Charge with the Committee of Safety to keep her Continent in the time of his running on Frost-biting in the North last Winter to catch General Monk when he could come at him Crom. To catch him Why dost thou think that Lambert could ever catch him when I my self never could do 't Though Lambert has a long time had a jealous head of his own and not without good causes yet I tell thee I was too cunning for him and so was his wife too for though he like a proud ambitious Fool turn'd him self out of my favour yet I never turn'd her out of mine for we two however kept close together For what Cause doest think did I make so many Avenues and Recesses up and down at White-hall and Hampton-Court but for the better convenience of my Letchery although it was pretended for the greater security of my Person Else why did I make that privy Recluse in the Tilt-yard to passe towards Wallingford-house and the Spring-garden But this thou knowest I did to blind my wives eyes whose Country-Butcher-like face thou canst tell did never so affect me but that I alwayes had my Hand maids to be helpers to me for the propagation of my Renown or otherwise I had never been called The Town-Bull of Ely as I was before ever the Wars began Pet. I Sir you was alwayes a notable Gamester and good at that Sport for I have often heard that you have play'd your Doublet and Breeches off many times at In and In rather than stand out Crom. But that was before my Conversion Peters In the dayes of my wantonnesse and youthfull vanities When Nan Chambers was my Chamber maid and Dol Marks had a clap by my brother Walton as she made the foole believe though I was the Father of it An hundred more such Tricks I have plaid in my dayes but let them passe And now le ts return to a little more serious discourse Prethee What will become of my Wife and Family Pet. I professe Sir I cannot tell certainly but if I may guesse by the proportion and Analogy of Lex Talionis they will not be left worth a Groat For you know that you and they did what you could to reduce the late Kings Family to the greatest exigences and extremities that you could possibly imagine or invent in all the world and you endeavoured to bring upon them and all the Nobility and Gentry of the three Nations all the Indignities and Disgraces that Milton and Nedham with the help of Jack Hall and the Devill to boot could designe or contrive And what then can you expect should be done with them For can they look for mercy that never shewed any and acted and executed nothing but injustice with the greatest Barbarisme and Impiety as t is generally said all the world over Crom. But I alwayes suspected Dick and Harry to be Cavaliers Pet. It s no matter for that It s enough that they were your Sons You have left such an ill name behinde you that the very word Cromwell will be as infamous to all Posterity as the memory of the late King will be blessed as most men are of opinion If your sons
