A85856	Hinc illæ lachrymæ. Or the impietie of impunitie. Containing a short, serious and most certain demonstration of the main (if not, only) rise and originall of all the grand grievances, and obstructions of piety and justice, over the whole kingdome. Together with a soveraign salve, and precious plaisture, for the unquestionable cure thereof (by Gods blessing) if it be seriously and seasonably applyed, according to direction herein, humbly prescribed. / By a faithful friend to the truth and a most humble servant to all the loyall and religious Presbyterian Members of Parliament.	Gauden, John, 1605-1662.	1647 (1647)	Wing G358; Thomason E421_6; Thomason E540_16; ESTC R204669	24,859	31

commend and encourage in their most erroneous yea blasphemous and seditious practises witness blasphemous Best that bold and abominable Beast indeed not worthy to live seditious lying Lilburne Overton and such like turbulent trash who though some of their persons are I confess or have bin but with no little struggling only imprisoned where truly they are just as the Romish Jesuites were better maintained than abroad yet are still strangely permitted to foment and scatter in scurrillous Pamphlets their most blasphemous opinions and pernicious practises yea and are most unworthily and wickedly justified and commended even by very many of our Sectarian disaffected Members of Parliament Alasse what 's become now adayes of the pristine power dignity equity gravity and awefull and lawfull severity of our former ancient English-Parliaments Heretofore it was as terrible criminall and punishable to speak especially to write against the justice acts and edicts of the Parliaments of England as to speak or write treason against the Person or Crown of the King But that now in these our dayes every base and ignoble Sectarie should be thus permitted presumptuously to speak write and preach against it and that with the most false and ignominious acrimony of spirits and pens that possibly may be I am confidently perswaded it is not to be paralell'd by any by-past ages or Histories What hath amiable Astraea quite forsaken our Parliaments on earth and is impartiall and Majesticall justice no where to be found for if not there where shall we find it Shall honest peaceable and humble hearted Presbyterians be thus enforced which God forbid and which as yet we heartily abhorre to feare and suspect that those audacious and contumelious aspertions and we hope and believe most slanderous Calumnies of seditious lying Lilburne and the rest of his rebelliously rayling and scribling Comrades are like to prove too true assertions and all because of such delatory obstructions yea even vitious violations and infringements of the course and current of justice and the Subjects hereditary just Liberties equally as precious to them as due priviledges are to the Parliament God forbid I say we should have continued cause to feare it But if it be otherwise How then comes it to passe that the wheeles of the glorious worke of a deeply desired and most duely promised and long expected Reformation turne and roule so slowly and heavily How is it that Votes and Ordinances for the advancement of pure Religion the power of godlinesse and our Covenanted Presbyterian Church Discipline are so extremely delayed and with such admired difficulty even as it were but pedetentim or guttatim obtained and produced and when any doe come forth how is it that they are so void of expected and necessitated strength and corroboration for their work intended or rather by some but deceitfully pretended But only by reason as it is Vox populi which men commonly say is Vox Dei that those disaffected Members especially of the Honourable House of Commons doe so craftily and vigilantly watch their owne seasonable opportunities by the improvident and sometimes I confesse necessitated absence and thereby paucity too often of the honest and truly pious and zealous Presbyterian party either to null them or at least to delay obstruct and invalidate them and to make them of little or no solid use when they come forth unto us Wherein also which fetches a most just and deep figh from my soule the known Independents are not a little backt and abetted a most foule shame to be spoken of them by many who formerly at least in shew were clearely for us but now a-dayes though we beleive not properly principled the Schismeticall-way yet are mightily byassed wheeled and blown about I know not by what unhappy fate or flate of winde unlesse as I heare and 〈◊〉 a Golden-ayre or Silver-blast in voting and acting for the 〈◊〉 almost on all occasions who they are I spare to name though I could many of them Et digito monstrare quod his est but they themselves best know and are conscious to their own hearts of this their great evill of so unworthy doubling Tergiversation and though we pitty and pray for their Soules yet they may and must be assured we look upon their persons with very sore-eyes and sowr faces Great and grave Senators of England I speake to the truly pious Presbyterian party thereof in both Houses I beseech you for the Lords sake think often and earnestly on that faithfull for heaven and earth shal perish before one jot or title of Gods Word shal not come to passe yea think upon even with trembling that fearefull threatning of the Lord our God Jerem. 48 19. which also I have formerly made serious use of in another piece of mine entituled Instices Plea Cursed be he that doth the worke of the Lord negligently or deceitfully as some translations notably render it and cursed is he that withholdeth his sword from bloud Yea I say from bloud when the Lord requires it even the bloud of Blasphemers and bloudy Malignants especially in these our late and most lamentable lawlesse Wars on the Royall Party for then to spare is so farre from Piety or pitty that it is egregious impiety to God and our sacred Covenant and Diabolicall cruelty against men yea and a most dangerous hazarding of the ruine of your own lives if not of Parliament State and the whole Kingdome as Ahab for sparing Benhadad and Saul for sparing Agagg found it too true and we may justly feare the like when such whom God hath appointed to death live so confident and that not without cause that the bitternesse of the feare of death is over past with them and all by reason of the strange Impunity of the bloudy Impiety even of grand Offenders of all sorts to this very day There was a time I must and doe ingeniously confesse when the great and then very just apologie and plea of our great and wise Parliamentary Master Builders why the work of Reformation in Religion for I desire mainely to harp upon this string as the summum though I will not say Vnicum necessarium and speedier building of Gods House Church-Discipline went not on more soundly and seriously was That the prudence and providence of the Parliament must first see to the very being before the well being of the Kingdome which then indeed was in continuall hazard of ruine and destruction by the great hostile powers on the Kings party True I easily and willingly grant this But now that the Lord hath most graciously banisht those our great and just feares hath like dust dispell'd our enemies and given us opportunity even ever since the ruine of Sir Iacob Ashleys forces and the rendition of Oxford to build our own houses in most sweet security and which we doe indeed with both hands but scarcely care to build Gods House with one hand O what now hinders this best and most blessed worke but onely and unquestionably these
