A WARNING-PEECE TO THE Commons Commissioners Army Generall which now sit as Judges ON HIS Majesties sacred Person In the behalfe of the whole Kingdome Written by one that feares God and honors his King and prayeth for the peace of England Printed in the Yeere 1649. A Vindication of the Army by way of recrimination against the Lords Commons c. THe name and title of Army and Souldier hath of late been as formidable and odious as Sequestrator Excize Committee or Parliament-man And the complaint of the Lords Commons and City of London have caused the greatest part of this hate and rancour against the Army I therefore challenge them not with sword for they are most of them errand cowards but with my pen and bid them severally answer if they can And first thou ô City why and with what face canst thou complain of me while I call for Justice and the strict execution thereof when as thou thy self first madest the loud cry to the Parliament for Justice and thereby most unjustly sheddest the blood of the innocent 2. Why and with what face complainest thou of the Army for excluding some Members from the Parliament who didst never cease bawling at the Parliament doores for the ejection of the most ancient and most rightfull Members in Parliament 3. Why and with what face complainest thou of the Army for taking assesse and quartering upon you who were the first principall raiser of this Army and were ever well content that others should pay and give free quarter 4. Thou O City who hast raised and first hast maintained this Army to be as a rod or sword of God why and with what face canst thou deny them 40000. l. granted them and much more by an Ordinance when thou hast most ambitiously sued that thou mightest freely give many millions for the conquering the King abolishing Religion and subjecting the Lawes Liberties and properties of all the Subjects in England to an arbitrary power Yea and when it was put into thy hands to have remedied all yet then for fear falshood or trechery thou forsookest thy self and betrayedst the whole Kingdome Thinkest thou therefore ô City that judgest them which do such things and doest the same that thou shalt escape the judgement of God Rom. 2.3 No heare what God hath spoken The spoiler is come upon her even upon Babilon the great City Revel 18. and her mighty men are taken for the Lord God of recompences shall surely requite Jer. 51.5.6 And ye Commons why and with what face can ye complain of the Army for their Remonstrance and Declarations tending to Justice and publike good when your selves have publisht such grosse slanderous and impudent lies both in Declarations and Remonstrances thereby to cheat the People to the Kings destruction and the Kingdomes ruine 2. Why and with what face can ye complain of the Army for imprisoning some of your Members in Royal and great houses when your selves have driven so many thousands of Clergy and Laity out of their freeholds and thrust too many by thousands into noysome and close prisons to the losse both of liberty and life and yet never to this houre shewing any cause why 3. Why and with what face complaine ye of the Army for excluding some of your Members from your house when ye your selves a first second and third time sent up forged Bills for the utter casting out of the Bishops from their most ancient and most just sitting in the upper House and at last by threats and menaces put upon the Lords forced them to give their most dishonourable and unconscionable assent thereunto Yea and did not this alone to the Members of the Lords House but did as much or more even to your own either by not admitting such though rightly elected or by threats and force driving them away by 200. at a clap which was the onely true cause of their sitting at Oxford 4. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army for breaking the Lawes and Priviledges of Kingdome and Parliament when ye your selves have been not only Authors and Actors but Teachers and Instructers of them by your examples to do the like to you as you have done both to your Soveraigne Lord the King and to your fellow Subjects 5. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army for banishing all ill affected to them 10. miles from London for a moneth when as your selves have banisht all ill affected to you 20. miles thence sometimes for 2. at other times for 6. moneths and that on no lesse penalty then High Treason and accordingly to be arraigned tryed and executed as Traytors without mercy 6. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army for committing your Members to custody when as your selves the 15. June 1648. authorized any 3. of your House though those Colonels and close friends to the Army to seize imprison and carry away Subjects free from Delinquency to our Army lying then before Colchester 7. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army for calling you corrupt false trayterous Members who 21. April 1648. gave power to any 3. Committee-men in all the severall Counties in England to sequester and imprison any whom these Committee-men should judge or deem to have spoken reproachfully against the proceedings of this Parliament I could be infinite in the inlarging your unjust and unequall complaints against the Army judging and condemning them for those and the like things wherein your selves have been most guilty but I shall end all in this kind with a word to the Gent. of the long Robe Lawyers as Members of your House 8. And why and what face complain ye of the Army for desiring 1. That thescattred and unknowne Lawes of this Kingdome may be wisely and carefully collected and the best and fittest being culled out to have them all printed and publisht in one volum or body 2. That they may be translated or put into our own English and known tongue whereby every subject may be able to read understand and know what he is to do and what to eschew what may save and what may destroy him and that he may not be constrained to give twenty shillings or more for every spoonfull of compounded or sophisticated hot-water which may perhaps poyson him or his Estate 3. That the subject may not be compelled to trudge to four standing Marts or yearly Faires kept in Westminster Hall there to be forced to buy and to be cheated in such pedling commodities to say no worse as they might have better for lesse money in their own Countreys I say why and with what faces complain you of the Army for this when ye your selves these eight yeares and upwards have not only been silent but consenting voting acting to the destruction of all our ancient best Lawes yet few or none can conceive to what end ye have done all this except either for the advance of your own present base gaine or else hereby to
