Or, A vindication of these two honorable patriots Oliver Cromwel, Ld Governor of Ireland, and Sir Arthur Haslerig, Knight baronet, from the unworthy and false aspersions by him cast on them in two libels; the one intituled, An impeachment of high treason against Oliver Cromwel, &c. The other, A preparative to a hue and cry against Sir Arthur Haslerig: wherein the said Lilburn is demonstratively proved to be a common lyar, and unworthy of civil converse.

will have the Parliament both now and formerly to follow the form of every common Statute in making an Order for his imprisonment it is as much as to say that the Parliament hath not power to repeal or as they see occasion to suspend the execution or alter the form of any Statute or that their Orders in the time of their Session though but occasionally made and pro tempore according as they see necessity or conveniency are not as legal and just and to be obeyed as these Statutes which other Parliaments made on the sight of the same convenience or reason But there is no doubt but they have Laws enough to prove John Lilburn a Traytor and a man which deserves the last punishment But if there should be a defect of any express President or Law whereby he may be punished it 's because he hath gone beyond the common strain of former offendors and is without president and example in his miscarriages and no Parliament could ever imagine there would any man be so quite destitute of the Law of Nature as to abuse himself and affront Authority so impudently as he hath done But new sins must have new punishments Some must be made examples now as well as others formerly It was the Earl of Straffords plea there was no Law and president for his censure who acted it better then John Lilburn and yet Iohn was one of the Apprentices that cried out for Justice which was legally executed then And the King denyed the Authority of the High Court of Iustice and yet justly lost his Head Let Iohn Lilburn take heed next The Parliament hath made a Law and it 's published That who ever shall speak against the present Government or for the title of Prince Charls to the Crown shall be punished as a Traytor How far the Gentleman hath sin'd against this known Law he may shortly know I have now done with his terrible and hyperbolical Charges though it seems he means never to have done for he stiles his last Pamphlet but A Preparative to a Hue and Cry and in the latter end of his Preparative calls for more fuel to the fire commanding his Uncle as if he were the god of this world to send up to him intelligence what Sir Arthur Haslerig doth and Let me know saith he if he do not this and that professing he will not abate him an ace be it true or false which he can but scrape out of any Malignant Letters concerning him But I hope by this time all sober and honest men know what use to put his Pamphlets unto hereafter And to those that have a minde to buy a shillingworth of lyes to carry in their pockets against they shall finde use of them or would learn the art of railing and slandering most exactly I shall commend the buying of Lievt Col. John Lilburns Pamphlets and reading of them with the most care and diligence that they can afford For my part my stomack is full I shall onely desire these two Gentlemen that are thus the objects of his revenge That though your Names and Honors are untainted and shine clear through the cloud of his Calumnies yet you would make this advantage of it and so honestly cheat him of his hopes to spur you on to more gallant and brave actions and to improve your Interest for the advancing Religion and the Power of Godliness in this Nation as well as Civil Freedom and Liberty then shall your names be written in Brass or Marble to posterity as they are and will be in the hearts of godly and consciencious men when John Lilburns shall be written in the dust I expect another Hue and Cry after me shortly But I intend to foul my hands no more with him but leave the discreet Reader to judg and bestow what Faith and Charity he hath to spare upon his former and ensuing Pamphlets FINIS
