lamentably molested us at home in England but attempted the like on our brethren in Scotland indeavouring to impose upon their consciences also a New Liturgie and a booke of Canons upon the first introducing whereof into their Church they not induring them threw stones and stooles at the Arch-Bishop of St. Andrews head and beat him out of the Church crying out a Pape a Pape and so rid themselves of them 28 Upon which refusall of theirs O what foule calumnies and scoffes were immediatly cast upon them and they called and counted rebels and traytors yea so proclaimed in all Churches in England 29 An Army was also raised to oppresse and suppresse them for thus resisting the Arch-prelates most injurious impositions on them A mighty and tumultuous rising of Apprentices and young men in Southwarke and Lambeth side with clubs and other weapons especially at the Arch-bishops house which put him into such a fright as made him flye to Croyden to convey himselfe to some more private and remote place and although Pharoahs Magisians were so honest that at the fight of the dust of the earth turned into lice they cryed out it was the finger of God but he grew more and more outragious and caused one to be hanged and quartered and his head set on London-Bridge 30 Our Brethren of Scotland likewise raising an Army in their own just defence and by force of armes inforcing their owne peace 31 A first pacification being then made by the King and some of his Nobility and ratified under hand and Seal twixt them and the Scots yet was it shortly after shamefully violated and broken quite off by the Arch-prelate of Canterbury and the Earle of Straford and burnt by the hangman at the Exchange 4 Parliament 32 A fourth Parliament was thereupon shortly after called again by those complotters meanes but to a very ill intent and another Parliament summoned also at the same time by the Earle of Straford in Ireland both of them onely to levy and procure monies to raise another Army and wage a new War against the Scots 33 The Ships and goods of our Brethren of Scotland were in all parts and ports of this Kingdome and of Ireland also surprised and seized on for the King their Commissioners denyed audience to make their just defence to the King and the whole Kingdome of Scotland and England too hereupon much distracted and distempered with leavying of monies and imprisoning all among us that refused the same 34 This Parliament also refusing to comply with the King Canterbury and Straford in this Episcopal war against the Scots was soon dissolved broken up by them and thereupon they returned to their former wayes of waste and confusion and the very next day after the dissolution thereof some eminent members of both Houses had their Chambers and Studies yea their Cabinets and very pockets of their wearing cloathes betimes in the morning before they were out of their beds searched for letters and writings and some of them also imprisoned and a false and most scandalous declaration was published against the House of Commons in the Kings name 35 A forced Loan of money was attempted in the City of London to be made a president if it prevailed there for the whole Kingdom but some Aldermen refusing were sorely threatned and imprisoned 36 In which interim the Clergies Convocation continuing notwithstanding the dissolution of the Parliament new conscience-oppressing Canons were forged and a strange Oath with a monstrous c. in it was framed for the establishing of the Bishops Hierarchy with severe punishments on the refusers to take it 37 In this Convocation sore taxations were also imposed upon the whole Clergie even no lesse than six Subsidies besides a bountifull contribution to forward that intended war against our brethren of Scotland 38 For the advancing of which said summes for this war the Popish pontifician party and their scandalous priests were most free and forward yea and a solemn prayer was composed and imposed by the Bishops on their Ministers every where to be used and read in all Churches against the Scots as rebels and traytors 39 The papists also in a high measure enjoyed even almost a totall toleration and a Popes Nuncio suffered amongst us to act and govern all Romish affaires yea a kind of a private popish-parliament kept in the Kingdom and popish jurisdictions erected among them 40. Commissions were also secretly issued out for some great and eminent papists for martiall Commands for levying of Souldiers and strengthening their party with Armes and Ammunition of all sorts and in great plenty 41. His Majesties treasure was by these meanes so extreamly exhausted and his revenues so anticipated that he was inforced to compell as it were his own Servants Judges and Officers of all sorts to lend him great summes of money and prisons filled with refusers of these and the other illegall payments yea many High-Sheriffes summoned into the Star-chamber and to the Councel-Board and some of them imprisoned for not being quicke enough in levying of Ship money and such like intolerable taxations 42. In summe the whole Kingdome was now brought into a lamentable and languishing condition of being most miserably bought and sold to any that could give and contribute most of might and malice against us and no hope of humane help but dolour desperation and destruction to be the portion of all The Arch-Prelate of St Andrewes in Scotland reading the new Service-booke in his pontificalibus assaulted by men Women with Crickets stooles Stickes and Stones The rising of Prentises and Sea-men on Southwark side to assault the Arch-bishops of Canterburys House at Lambeth 5.

True Information of the beginning and cause of all our troubles how they have bin hatched and how prevented 1 Parliament 1. IN the first yeare of King Charles his Reign a Parliament being called at Oxford two subsidies were granted no grievances removed but the said Parliament soone dissolved 2 The sad effects which the dissolution of this Parliament produced were the losse of Rochell by the unhappy helpe of Englands Ships 3 The diversion of a most facile and hopefull warre from the West-Indies to a most expencive and successelesse attempt on Cales 4 The bloody and unblessed attempt on the Isle of Ree and thereby a precipitate breach of peace with France to our great losse 5 A peace concluded with Spaine without consent of Parliament contrary to a promise formerly made to the Kingdome by King James a little before his death whereby the Cause of the Palatinate was altogether most shamefully deserted by us 6 The Kingdome suddenly billetted with Souldiers and a concomitant project set on foot for Germane Horfes to force men by feare to fall before arbitrary and tyrannicall taxations continually to be laid upon them 2 Parliament 7 The dissolution of a second Parliament at Westminster in the second yeare after a declarative grant of no lesse then five Subsidies and the sad issues that flowed to the Kingdome thereupon 8 As first the violent exacting from the people of that mighty summe of the five Subsidies or a summe equall to it by a Commission for a Royall-Loan as it was called 9 Many worthy Gentlemen imprisoned and vexed that refused to pay it 10 Great summes of money extorted from Subjects by Privy Seals and Excises 11 The most hopefull Petition of Right blasted in the very blossome of it 3 Parliament 12 A third Parliament called and quickly broken in the fourteenth yeare of the King and therein Parliamentary priviledges extreamly violated by after ill-usage of some of the best and worthiest Members thereof who were clapt up close prisoners denied all ordinary and extraordinary comforts of life and preservation of health which might have proved perpetuall to them had not a fourth Parliament which afterward happened necessitated their releife and release 13 And this third Parliament thus dissolved O the miserable effects that followed thereon also 14 Scandalous and opprobrious Declarations published to asperse and besmeare the proceedings of the last Parliament and some of the best Members thereof yea Proclamations set out to those effects thereby extreamly to dis-hearten the Subjects yea and plainly forbidding them once to name a Parliament or to desire them any more 15 VVhence immediately gushed out this damme of Parliaments thus being broken down the violent inundations even to a deluge of miseries of mighty summes of money got by that strange and straining project of Knight-hood yet under a faire colour and pretence of Law for it and for all the rest that followed 16 As the most burthensom Book of Rates the most heavy and unheard of till then taxation of Ship money the enlargement of Forrests contrary to Magna Charta the injurious taxation of Coat and Conduct money the forcible taking away of the Trained-Bands Armes the desperate designe of ingrosing Gunpowder into their hands and keeping it fast from the Subject in the Tower of London not to be had thence but at most excessive rates 17 The destruction of the Forrest of Dean that most famous Magazine and Timber-store-house of the whole Kingdome which was sold to Papists 18 The monstrous Monopolies of Sope Salt Wine Leather and Sea-coal yea almost of all things in the Kingdome of most necessary and common use 19 Restraint of Subjects Liberties in their Trades and Habitations for refusall of which foresaid heavy pressures many were vext with long and languishing suites some fined and confined to prisons to the losse of health in many of life in some Some having their houses broke open their goods seized on their studies or closets searched for writings bookes and papers to undoe them Some interrupted also in their Sea-Voyages and their ships taken from them in an hostile manner by projectors as by pirates or common enemies 20 The crushing cruelties of the Star-Chamber-Court and Councill Table in those dayes chiefly for the fomenting and increasing of most exorbitant taxations pressures and unjust suit against the Subject 21 Thus farre for the miseries of the Common-Wealth now also for the Churches danger and distresse the amazing miseries of the Subjects Consciences also by the intolerable burden of Popish Ceremonies Romish Innovations and such like other outrages of the Arch Prelate of Canterbury and his Prelaticall Agents and Instruments over the whole Kingdome in matters of religion divine worship and spirituall cases of Conscience 22 The most palpable and abominable Romish Ceremonies used at the Kings Coronation and insolent and impious false and destructive additions in the Oath administred to the King at his said first Inauguration to the Crowne by that most arrogant Arch-Bishop 23 And the manifold other impious impositions in matters of religion divine worship and spirituall cases of Conscience for refusing and opposing of which how was the honest-hearted and tender-conscienced subject grievously oppressed by fines imprisonments stigmatizings mutilations whippings pillories gagges confinements and banishments yea and that into perpetuall close imprisonments in the most desolate remote and as they hoped and intended remorslesse parts of the Kingdome 24 The putting downe yea utterly ruinating of that most famous and honourable worke that ever this Kingdom saw in a private way for the advancement of Gods glory in the propagation of the Gospel I mean the Feoffees for buying in of Impropriations Noy the then Atturney-Generall openly in Court accusing that blessed worke to bee a worse plot against the Church he meant the Prelaticall-Church sure than the Papists Powder-plot 25 The advancing for the most part none to Ecclefiasticall Dignities and Livings but Arminians yea Popish hearted Pontificians Suspending and silencing with deprivations degradations and excommunications almost all the most pious painful and Orthodox-learned Pastours over the Kingdom whom they could catch in their snares and all this under a pretence of peace unity and conformity in which foresaid cases the High-Commission like the Spanish-Inquisition with its most pregmaticall pranks was all along most intolerable and abominable 26 Printing-presses set open for the Printing and publishing of all sorts of Popish and Arminian tenets but shut up and restrained from Printing sound and Orthodox Doctrines 27 Nay not onely thus
