II. The wise Conspirators direct the people to Petition to them they worship them and offer their Presents King Charles flyeth towards Yorke with his Wife and Children 1 NOw when this parliament began at Westminster in the fifteenth yeare of the Reigne of our Soveraigne Lord King Charles behold there came a companie of foolish men out of Buckinghamshire 2 Saying Where is hee that is borne King of England for wee have heard that hee will not consent to his Ruine and are come to scold with him 3 When the Kings friends heard this they were troubled and all Britaine with them 4 But when the King had gathered a chosen companie together hee went and demanded the five Members that were chiefely opposite against him 5 But they said unto him they are not here for thus it was purposely ordered 6 Then the King when hee had summoned his Privie Councell diligently enquired of them what was to be done 7 And he called those that came out of the Countries and said unto them Goe home to your houses and enquire of your owne Consciences whether these your undertakings are pious and you find they are so bring word againe and I shall willingly assent 8 When they heard the King they departed and loe the same Spirit of Error that first possessed them went before them till it came and stood over the House where the Commons were assembled together 9 And when they saw the Spirit they rejoyced with an exceeding great Joy 10 And when they were come into the House of Commons they saw Pim Hazelrig Hollis and Strowd sitting together and they fell downe and worshipped them and when they had given them many thanks for their meeting they presented unto them that which they preferred above all things to wit Gold 11 And being warned by their feares not to goe back and tell the King they departed into their owne Countrey another way 12 And when they were departed behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to King Charles and said Arise and take thy Princely Children and their Mother and flye into the North for the Londoners joyning with thy Parliament will seeke to destroy thee and them 13 Then the King arose and tooke his Wife and departed accompanied with some faithfull friends 14 Then the Houses being vexed they could not work their ends upon him were exceeding wroth and sent forth and stirred up the minds of the people of England to Rebellion and slew and imprisoned all those that would not be confederate with them 15 But while these things were acting behold an Angel of the Lord appeared to the King and said unto him Arise and get the friends thou hast together and arme thy loyall subjects for thy preservation 16 Then he arose and strengthned himselfe proclaimed his Rebellious Parliament Traytors and came to the Citie of Yorke CHAP. III. The Sectarian Clergie incense the people against the King the Pharisaicall Common-Councell wish the rude multitude to come to be baptized of them 1 IN those dayes came Saltmarsh the Antinomian and Dell the Independent and Preached to the Citizens of London 2 Saying Now is the time that ye ought to stand up for the truth and to helpe the Parliament forward with your Plate and money 3 For these were they of whom Saint Peter Prophesied That have eyes full of Adultery and that cannot cease from sinne beguiling unstable soules

and hearts they have exercised with covetous practises cursed children which have forsaken the right way and gone astray following the way of Balaam the sonne of Bozor who loved the wages of unrighteousnesse 2 Pet. 2. 14 15. 4 And the same Saltmarsh and Dell had large Stipends allowed them and were cloathed with Iniquitie as with Raiment 5 Then went out to them all the Inhabitants of London and all the Region round about 6 And were by them seasoned with Seditious Principies covering their sinnes 7 And when they saw them they said O ye people of London and the parts adjacent now arme your selves for the Battell and goe out and fight against your King and his Adherers bring also in your Plate and Jewells into Guild-hall 8 And thinke not to say within your selves It is better for us to be quiet and sit still rather then to runne the hazard of loosing our lives and estates for we say unto you That you shall be prosperous in your undertakings and shall soone accomplish the Work 9 And now also the Axe of the Parliament is laid to every mans throat and he that will not be Rebellious shall not live 10 We indeed gaine onely some few hundred pounds and chastise you with words but your Parliament intend to purchase Lordships and to whip you with gleames of fire 11 Their fan is in their hand and they will throughly purge your purses for their Ambition burnes like unquenchable fire CHAP. IV. The King tempted with unheard of Propositions hee resisteth the temptation and the People flock unto him moved by the sound Doctrine of his Declarations 1 THen was King Charles permitted by God to be tempted by his Parliament with unreasonable Propositions many dayes 2 And when Pembroke the Tempter came unto him he said If thou wilt still be King of Great Britaine thou must set thy hand to these Propositions 3 But he answered and said It is written in the Proverbs Thou shalt feare God and honour the King the wrath of a King is like the roaring of a Lyon and he that provoketh him sinneth against his owne soule 4 Then Pembroke the Tempter said unto him Behold thou shalt be a more great and glorious King then any of thy Progenitors we will augment thy Revenues and inlarge thy Territories if thou wilt but fall downe and worship us thy Parliament 5 But he said unto him againe It is written in the Romans Let every soule be subject to the higher powers but to the King as Supreame Now therefore get thee gone thou Rebell For in the Proverbs Where the word of a King is there is power and who may say unto him what dost thou 6 Then the Tempter left him and his owne faithfull Lords came and ministred unto him 7 Now when the King heard that his Parliament had entred into Covenant against him and had constrained his Liege-People to Sweare their owne and his ruine he caused his Standard to be erected at Nottingham 8 And leaving the Citie of Yorke he came and kept his Court in Oxford one of the Eyes of England 9 From that time there was deadly Warre between the King and his Parliament with an equall concernment on both sides 10 And his Fame went throughout all the Quarters of England the people bringing unto him all such as were diseased with the Evill and he healed them 11 And there followed him great multitudes of his People Kent from Staffordshire and from beyond Tine A Psalme to be sung as the 15. of Davids GOod Lord confound King Oliver and all his holy Crew With Rainsborow that Leveller and Pride that precious Jew Let Say once more we doe thee pray into a Saw-pit fall Let Martin purge his Pocks away within some Hospitall Let Hammon have his brains knockt out with his owne bunch of Keyes Let Watson and his zealous rout visit the Hebrides Let the two Houses fight and scratch like wives at Billingsgate And let them ne're a Peace up patch untill it be too late That so upon each House of clay King Charles may mount his Throne Heare us O Father wee thee pray our hope 's in thee alone FINIS
