excellent a Prince by the malice ambition cruelty and treason of so base and execrable villanies And all this Tragedy of Tragedies carried on to such bloody conclusions under colour of Safety and Reformation at first afterward of Satisfaction and Indempnity to the Army in both which the good King denied nothing that men of any modesty worth or ingenuity could expect or would desire Yet after infinite delusions and mutinous insolencies committed against King Parliament and People some impotent and ambitious Tyrants who have the marks of Blood and Cruelty in their Faces and on their Foreheads in the Army and Commons House bethink themselves of a Scene of Justice which must speedily be acted by them least the closure of a Peace with the King and the two Houses should render their employment useless as it hath long been burdensom And forcing their Buff Grandees and proud Officers to return to their Needles their Hammers their Lasts their Slings their Carts and their Flails should quite defeat those designs of power estate and all licentious prophaneness both in Opinions and Practices which their Chief Officers and Levelling Sticlers have all this while designed for themselves and their false giddy cruel covetous and unreasonable Faction through that power and influence which by their lyes sorceries and hypocrisies they with the help of that mungrel Minister that Military Priest that modern Simon Magus that disguised Executioner that bloody Butcher of the King H P they have gained upon the Common Souldiery Upon whose simplicity and valour they have presumed tyrannously and trayterously to advance the meer will and pleasure of some Officers in the Army and those rotten and ever infamous Members of the Commons over all the Laws and Liberties the Lives Estates and Inheritances both of King Prince and People Yet after all these Scenes of various Villanies they have the impudence to glory as if they had done God good service and so extremely pleased God and the People that they expect all should agree to their Plandite as if might and right were well met in the Army O you most seared Consciences you most Rebellious Souls against God the King and your own light You most accursed Doers you deaf Adders whether you will hear or whether you will forbear know this That we the Christian people and loyal Subjects of England do in the bitterness of our Souls declare as in the sight of God to whose just Tribunal ●e appeal and summon your stupid and cruel hypocrisie to all the wor●d our total detestation and utter abhorring of your Counsels Actions and future Designs You glory as if you were now Masters of our Estates Liberties and Lives But we shall by Gods grace keep our Souls unspotted from those great Offences and presumptuous wickedness wherewith you are infected beyond all cure or recovery No we would have your impenitent hardness as well as the softer world to know That we look back with extreme sorrow shame and repentance upon our former Delusions and forwardness to this Unhappy War wherein though they were most to blame who were the Deceivers and Instigators of us yet we cannot excuse our selves further than thus That we did it out of credulous inconsiderateness and not out of malicious wickedness The God of Heaven whose mercies exceed our sins and your cruelties forgive the Errors and great sins of this Nation in this Unnatural War which have deservedly as from the Divine vengeance though most perfidiously as from your multiplyed Treasons and wilfull Rebellions brought upon these Kingdoms such a sore plague and intollerable oppression as you are Whos 's detected hypocrysie hath now made it clearly appear That both King Parliament and People were meerly cheated and abused by the Fraud first after by the Force of those Factions Schismatical bloody and implacable spirits your chief Genius's who despaired to carry on their wicked Designs of Ambition and Tyranny but by the means of Anarchy Profaneness Disloyalty and publike ruine of Church and State All which Rottenness and Villany must be masked a while under the Names of Reformation Laws and Liberties King and Parliament which we see too evidently though too late after infinite miseries Oppressions Bloodshed and Delusions amount to no more but a slavish Submission to the will and Arbitrary Tyranny of a few sanguinary Schismaticks cruel Hypocrites and desperate Usurpers over all who like deep Ditches and open Sepulchers having swallowed up our King our Parliament our Estates our Liberties and many of our Brethrens Lives now like impudent Strumpets in the wantonness and security to which success have hardned their hearts and foreheads wipe their mouths as if they had done no evil and now lying in-wait for our precious Souls dress their whorish Faces with the Harlotry Temptation of a New-fashioned Representative and that both silly and ridiculous Bable called the Agrrement of the People Than which never any poyson was presented in a sordeder and less suspected Cup Nor foolish Devil never used less inviting baits for his snares Their gross and brutish unpolitickness offering nothing in that Beggars dish to the miserably abused and justly discontented Kingdom but only such general dull and confused notions as might become the soberer sort of Picts or Highlanders or the less savage Indians when from their Acorns Nakedness and Barbarity they began to form some concep●ions of casting themselves into more orderly and civil Societies for their better Government and Common welfare So vastly short their motly Agreement comes of those most tried wise noble rational just and indeed Divine Principles and Foundations of True Government Order and Polity on which his famous Monarchy hath for many hundred of years been raised to so stately a Fabrick having flourished to so perfect a beauty to so antient and venerable a glory as became the Wisdom Piety and Gravity of our former Kings Parliaments and Ancestors Men of Renown for true Wisdom and Heroick Greatness to whom these late Overturners and Innovators of all Government would scarce have served for their Dwarfs Zanies and Buffons But lest these Cursed Movers of the Antient Boundaries and Landmarks should lose both themselves and us in the Wood and Wilderness of their poor rude barbarous and novel projections they bring forth their Ignes Fatui lights of private Inspirations Fanatick Delusions False and Falsifyed Interpretetions of wrested and corrupted Scriptures to make some shew to their seduced Proselytes whom they would re-baptize in the blood of the King with themselves as if they were the little Stone cut without hands which must become a great Mountain c. They the Saints which must bind Kings in Chains and Nobles in Links of Iron c They the people of the most High to which the Kingdoms of the Earth must be give c. Whereas true Saints which had the power not shew only of godliness would not take all the Kingdoms of the World upon such Devillish Concitions and by such damnable practises as yours are most
