A95533	Crop-eare curried, or, Tom Nash his ghost, declaring the pruining of Prinnes two last parricidicall pamphlets, being 92 sheets in quarto, wherein the one of them he stretch'd the soveraigne power of Parliaments; in the other, his new-found way of opening the counterfeit Great Seale. Wherein by a short survey and ani-mad-versions of some of his falsities, fooleries, non-sense, blasphemies, forreigne and domesticke, uncivill, civill treasons, seditions, incitations, and precontrivements, in mustering, rallying, training and leading forth into publique so many ensignes of examples of old reviv'd rebells, or new devised chimeraes. With a strange prophecy, reported to be Merlins, or Nimshag's the Gymnosophist, and (by some authours) it is said to be the famous witch of Endor's.

Prophet Nathan 2. Sam. 12. 7. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel I anointed thee King over Israel and I delivered thee out of the hands of Saul where is the peoples Election here God saith he chose him from the sheepfold to be a King Psal 78. 71. and seeing God did chuse and anoint David King I must crave M. Prinnes leave to beleeve the people did it not but it is certaine that David was made King by Gods onely Assignation and that he that made the Peoples hearts did also give them grace with unanimous consent to be obedient to his Ordinance so that with loud shoutes and acclamations of Ioye the people exprest their Loyalties and loves at Davids Coronation in which they had no Election at all as this pretender pretends Pag. 127. That God and Davids designation of Solomon to the Crowne did not take away the Peoples Liberty Right and Power to elect and nominate their Kings my sweet Stercucian prudent Prinne neither God or David did ever take that Liberty Right and Power from the People for the people never had any such priviledge or prerogative to elect and nominate and therefore such Right and Power which they never had was never taken from them Pag. 146. he names Zimri Omri and other Parricides and Homicides Vsurpers Rebells and Castawayes these he brings in to fill up the measure Pag. 149. is cram'd as full of Treasons and Revileings as he was able to put in till he comes to the 153 pag. and there he tells me old newes How Darius set Princes over his Kingdomes and Provinces And that Nebuchadnezzer set Daniel over the Province of Babylon let the Reader judge if Prinne doth not give himselfe the Lie How dares this Varlet alleadge that King Charles hath not Power to set Deputies and Lievtenants over His Dominions and Provinces or to chuse His Privy Councellors Officers of State Trust and Meniall Servants and yet he confesseth that two Heathen Kings Darius and Nebuchadnezzar had power to doe it and did it and for any thing that I can perceive those Kings had power so to doe and did use that power without asking their Subjects leave or consent From pag. 154. to 160. he brings in Chimeraes Whimseyes and meere Connundrums in such store as they would furnish sixe French and Italian Mountebanks to vent their sophisticated Oyles Vnguents Drugges Album Greaka or black white Dogges da●es Pag. 177. he saies that a Prince or Lord of a Country are not Princes without Subjects very right if a King hath no Subjects then he is no bodies King but you and your Comrades would have no King and therefore by that rule you are no Subjects or I am sure no good ones From pag. 177. to 186. he makes a long Relation of the causes why the Netherlandish Provinces fell from the King of Spaine as suitable to his purpose as Mustard and Mince-pye together and then he brings in Julian the Apostate slaine by a Christian Souldier Pag. 188. That the Pope and Prelates alone without the consents of Parliament Peeres or People have deposed and judged Hereticall and Tyrannicall Kings to death and devote them to Assassination This is but crowding upon the old fidle because the Pope hath done so to wicked Kings therefore you will take a devillish power somewhat worse then a Popish to supplant and ruinate a Just King and His Posterity Pag. 189. he presents Tarquin Nero Vitelius their banishments and deathes Pag. 204. That Queen Elizabeth did ayde and succour Protestants that lived in other Countries and that the King of Spaine did the like for Romane Catholiques This is Prinnes Foble Boble as plaine as a Pack-staffe I wish that he and his Tribe would imitate that good Queen and succour the Protestants and not destroy and begger them dayly as they doe Pag. 208. he swells and blisters out his Volum with the sentence of degradation and deprivation of Wenceslaus the Emperour as much pertinent as the fift wheele in a Coach Pag. 216. he is vehement in perswading men to be Loyall Rebells to be Valiant true Traitors to persist in their execrable disobedience for which he promises everlasting felicity and lastly he peremptorily concludes all Temporall and Eternall losse dishonour and perpetuall torments to be the Portions of all true Subjects and then he closes with zealous Prayer and Invocation for the continuance maintenance and prosperity of Treason and Rebellion And thus have I delineated or rather Anotomiz'd and disected the foure Quarters of this Monster Now I proceed to his Head and the workes of his Head-peece his Opening of the New Great Seale William Prinnes Opening of his New Great Seale of ENGLAND ADulterate Presidents are very seldome Parents to Legitimate Consequences This New Great Seale is Begotten and Borne into the World lick'd into fashion by Committees Members Votes and Ordinances and Nurst Cherish'd Drest Trick'd and Trim'd by M. Prinne who hath painfully searched through the very Bowells of Antiquity to finde out the originall of Seales and whence his New Seale may lineally derive its first being and pedigree To begin which goodly piece of service he loades his Margine with Notes and Testimonies of Scripture The first marke whereby you may know from whence this Babye is descended he quotes the Signet which Judah left with his daughter in Law Tamar as a Pledge when he had committed Incest or Adultery with her as it is in Gen. 38. A very faire beginning to prove this Seale lawfully borne and bred from Judah's Signet which was left in pawne as a token for Bawderie The second descent of it he proves to be from Theft Covetousnesse and Murder as 1. Kings 21. 8. How Jezabel stole Ahabs Seale and with it sealed counterfeit Letters in the Kings name whereby Naboth was perjuriously accused and Murthered and Ahab had the Vineyard And from that Seale and the notable effects which it produced M. Prinne derives his New Seale and presageth what worthy acts it may produce I will name but one more of his Marginall Testificandums Estber 3. and 12. there he mentions King Ahsuerus his Ring which he delivered to Haman wherewith he sealed an Edict that all the whole Nation of the Iewes young and old that liv'd in the Kings large Dominions 127. Provinces should all be slaughtered in one day But I desire the Reader to take notice that though Haman was a proud ambitious man yet he did use no counterfeit Seale nor usurped any power but what he had from the King but M. Prinne and his Maisters have neither the Kings Seale leave or power to destroy His Subjects and Ruinate His Kingdome but I would not have them to forget and make application too that Haman was hanged although his fault was not Treason But this is another strong Argument what shall become of the Protestants and His Majesties Loyallest Subjects if M. Prinnes new founded Seale were in force and vigour And thus out of his owne Annotations he hath proved

Gibeonites when they deceived Joshua as for allowing or not allowing the King 's meniall Servants 'T is no doubt but the King should be well served if such a Coxcombe as Prinne had Authority to chuse his Servants Page 15. Parliaments have power above Magna Charta I believe Parliaments have power if there be cause to repeale Statutes either in Magna Charta or any other Lawes but though Parliaments have this power yet I would have Master Prinne to understand that Conventicles and factions Assemblies have no such Authority except they steale and usurpe it Page 24. he falls to his old vomit and taxeth his Majesty with English Irish Scottish French and Germane Papists and that they are whole Armies of them maintained by his Majesty against his good Subjects of which you are none therefore you need not feare Page 32. The Parliament hath unwillingly taxed and plundered men your Votes Imprisonments Banishments and Robberies committed dayly on the persons and goods of such as were his Majesties loyallest Subiects they being all firme Protestants and your Mandates and large rewards to the Thieves and Plunderers with your Receits and sale of the stolne goods to strangers Amster-damnable Iewes other forraigners and unnaturall Natives who have either bought the said goods for money with which mony you have maintained this Rebellion or truckd and barterd it for other Commodities as you have done lately with the Hollanders for Butter Cheese Fish c. by these Practices of Robbery and Tyranny it is apparent how unwillingly this Thing called a Parliament hath and dayly doth Tax and plunder In his 33. Pag. he speakes truth That by the same power the Parliament had to raise an Army without the King by the same power they may raise mony to maintaine it which is as much as to say by the same power they had to be Rebells by the same power they might Murder Rob Plunder Ransack and ruinate His Majesties true Leige people and by the same power you have made bold to doe the like with all his Majesties Honours Mannours Royalties and Revenues all which you have done by the same power and liberall grants of that bountifull Potentate who offered to give all the Kingdomes of the world to our Saviour Pag. 34. He taxeth His Majesty with placing of Popish Governours in his Garrisons and such Commanders in his Armies indeed you are not to be blamed much for your being greived at those Governours and Commanders because through God's assistance by them and their good directions you have been often times greivously beaten and questionlesse they are not quite out of your debts except you mend your manners they are such just paymasters that they will pay you all also every body will not beleive that all are Papists whom you please to call so Now I come to the survey of his ample Appendix wherein at the first he rakes up Romes Foundation and to small purpose he hales Romulus Remus Numa Pompilius and all the Heathen Kings and Emperours out of their Vrnes and Tombes then he hath a bout with the East and Westerne Empires and all their wicked Emperours with their Tragicall ends In his 11. Pag. he blaspheamously outfaceth S. Paul and his Doctrine both Rom. 13. 1. to 6. That Kings are Subjects to the highest powers which highest powers Prinne interpretes to be the people take heed though you have the pestilent art to make Law to be no Law and stealing to be no theft yet it is dangerous to pervert or juggle with holy writ But why doe I cast away admonition upon an Atheisticall railing Rabshekah who hath perverted wrung wrested construed and mis-applied the Patriarks Prophets Apostles yea Christ himselfe Pag. 12. he presents the miseries of the unfortunate and perfidious King Zedechias how his children were murdered before his face his eyes put out and after how he was carried Prisoner in Chaines to Babylon Also he mentions many other deplorable deaths and disasters that fell upon divers Kings and Princes All which Testimonies and presidents are so applyed as nothing else but Treason and Villany can be found in the applications In the 14. pag. he is saild into Sparta amongst the Kings of the Lacedemonians and there he makes enquirie how many of them have been brought to untimely ends In pag. 15. he tells us how the Sabeans confined their Kings to their Pallaces and used to stone them if they went out of their bounds without leave But your Scholars the Tumultuous Rabble did in Routes and Roguish Assemblies with cudgells march with their Tatterdmallians against White-Hall when his Majesty was there last Pag. 18. 19. and so to pag. 51. He runs through all the History of France to finde proditorious presidents to prove Treason to be Lawfull in England pag. 51. he makes a skip into Spaine and doth as much there pag. 60. he hath found out a Kingdome of Oreida and that there many of the Kings were deposed or Murdered pag. 62 and 63. he travells Aragon and Navarre and from thence into Castile Portugall Cordova Vallencia Granado Gallicia pag. 80. he is got into Hungaria pag. 82. he is in Bohemia pag. 85. you may have him in Poland pag. 89. he is making a privy search in Denmark pag. 98. he forrageth through Sweden pag. 99. he makes a step into Assyria Cyprus Lombardia Naples and Venice and in the 100. pag. he is come backe into Scotland and there he tarries raking up all the Treasons in that Kingdome from the raigne of Fergusius their first King till these mad bad times which theam he followes to the 112. pag. Then he postes into Asia amongst the Kings of the Gentiles Israel and Iudah He is now in Persia feasting with Ahasuerus and presently you have him in Babylon eating Grasse like an Asse with Nebuchadnezzer from whence he makes a spirt to see King Darius and kindely he visites Daniel in the Lyons Den. Thus you may perceive how nimble and active this Gentleman hath been to play the Kennell-raker in grubling in all the nasty common Sewers and contagious Dung-hills of damnable Treasons and perfidious Treacheries in all the Kingdomes of the World malitiously and purposely to defend maintaine and countenance this odious Rebellion now on foot in England And it is to be conceived that he could never have Travelled from Region to Region and from Realme to Realme with such Celerity and Subitorie quicknesse but that he had the helpe of some Mephostophilus or Familiar or else he bought begged or stole some Windes from a Lapland Witch without which aydes from the Instruments of his Grand Maister Don Diabolo he could never have flowne to and fro to so many Territories to fetch mischiefe hither Pag. 125. He saith David was made King by Gods Appointment and the Peoples Election I tell thee thou Owleiglasse if thou didst understand what thou sayest thou wouldest say somewhat more understandingly to be understood for if thou note what God himselfe saith to David by the
