A further Continuance of the Grand Politick Informer Discovering the wickednesse and mysteries of the present State iniquities on foot about the 14 of September 1653. OMNIVM RERVM VICESITVDO THe last sheet we gave you a hint of the designe and intent of some of the poorer wretches as are very industrious in making a Knife to cut their own throats we mean in the altering the government of the City of London But first for their encouragement let them consider that Cromwel maketh use but of one sort of people to do one thing and so soon as that is done he laieth aside them and maketh use of another generation As first against the Scots he made some instrumental to crosse their interest in the Presbyterians So soon as they had finished he layeth them aside then he made use of some of the late Parliament to take off the late Kings head these also he layeth aside as you see in the late Disolving the Parliament judging he hath good reason so to do though he maketh use of but one sort of men to commit one sort of Treason for he knoweth that he that is a Traytor to another trust will be a Traytor to his trust that he reposeth in him If he should entertain him long in his service would be still expecting favors but to prevent this he after they have sweetened their mouths a little he turneth them off and pretendeth insufficiency or that they are not holy enough or some other thing now by this means he strengtheneth his interest for whilest that they are in imployment they gain riches and he winketh at them so when he turneth them out of imployment they must stil be owners of him and his Tyranny for in any other change think they our estates cannot be secure because we have gained them by indirect means and there is no way like to the taking of Sanctuary under the power of a Tyrant that is guilty of betraying of trust usurping the supream power who will be ready to say if they will not question me for my Treasons I will not question them for their Villanies No further then for losse of place to make way for other new Traytors to act their parts on the stage now we see what a miserable thing it is for men so readily to contribute their helps or assistance to raise a Tyrant but it is in hope that they may rise in the top of his favor and be raised with him we hear could tell you many a story how God doth bring down Tyrants when they are most strong they become weak c. But as to the changing the government of the City of London it s very strongly aggitated that some clothed in red not Saints clothed in white Saints should govern the City insteed of Mayor Aldermen and Common Councel men this is set on foot and contrived by some of the City who have taken the Oath of the City upon their making free the substance was that they should do nothing that should be for the hurt of the City of London but it may be they say that they did take that Oath with a proviso viz if in case there came not commands to the contrary from the Cock-pit we have too many think the creatures of Cromwel's favour to be sufficient dispensations to all Oathes and Villanies that can be committed but he that hath but half an eye might see that the changing of the government and the seizing of the guards of the City of London was designed when they took away the chains from the ends of the streets and threw down the forts so when they were thus disarmed they put garrisons upon them by and under pretence of preventing malignant designs but under pretences of that and of the pretending to promote the work of the Lord and securing the interest of the Lords people they viz. the Lord Cromwels interest and people they have devoured all our wealth and liberties but now the designe they drive at in endeavouring to alter the government of the City of London is to take away all the rights or as much as they can of Election in the people for say they if the government of the City of London should be continued by the election of the people they may elect such as we may not stand well assured of complying with us in our Treasons and we know that the City of London is able to question us and drive our Army into the sea or swallow them up at a mouthfull therefore it is convenient that we say they should take from them all means possible of their unloosing their bonds the which if they do we must be bound Besides say they if we can binde the hands of the City of London we shall lead the whole Nation into Captivity and to that end is a great part of the Army come into the City and upon their march towards London to chose a Lord Mayor it may be We see that saying of Aratus to Philip of Macedon made good in our age That Tyrants Thieves and Robbers make use of Arms Rocks and Forts and decree it There is nothing as Papprius Masson saith so sacred which the great Tyrants of this world will not violate if some advantage may come unto them thereby You see it and finde it to be true that London that hath been the fountain and cause of the greatnesse of the Tyrants now must disrobe her self of her most excellent government that she hath kept unviolated many hundred years but if this were all we are in such a condition that we should account it an happinesse to be onely slaves and no more but we must be miserable slaves There is another designe on foot for wickednesse in the highth the like was never conspired nor acted by any nay it would make the worst in Hell ashamed nay we are perswaded it would make the Devil himself blush and yet some of our Saints or white Devils have that horrid damnable and wicked impudence to designe that the Records of the Nation should be burned in this they have many ends First that all that hold any Houses or Land by what little soever when the Records of the Nation are burned it shall be much at the descretion of the Judge to award judgment either to the Plaintiffe or Defendant which so ever of them is most a Saint alies an Hypocrite God forbid that we should speak or open our mouths against the good people of God they we say that professe to the love it and that do not make use of pretences to carry on base wicked designes for you must assure your selves that they will provide Judges that shall be Conscience proof and that will encline much in their judgments to favour those that favour the times besides this is the onely way that these Israelites will come by the goods and lands of the Egyptians at advantage John of Leydon required his impostors and followers to seize of all the goods of the
