what soever wee pleased Isa 36.18.14 and where is the Lord that shall hinder vs And who are the Gods of all these Nations that have delivered their Lands theyr Goods 1. Sam. 22.23 and theyr Shipps from being taken and spoiled by vs Or theyr men from the edge of our sword Wherefore consider this O King and Nation of France and all other good people both hygh and low at home and abroad in whome is eyther courage councell for warrer or the feare of the Lord least that curse come vpon you which came vpon Meroz by the Angell of the Lord Judg. 5.23 not for any act that Meroz had donne but because the inhahitants of that city did not come forth to the helpe of the Lord against the mighty This was a double a bitter curse because the Righteous God doe count him selfe to be slited when men doe forbeare or withould their helpe from the distressed in time of neede when Oppressors are powerfully bent to mischiefe who make no difference betweene Right and wrong Remember what is sayd of such as steale or joyne with theefs Where God saith vnto the wicked what hast thou to doe Psal 50. vers 16.17 18.19 to take my name in thy mouth seeing thou hatest Instructions and casteth my words behind thee when thou sawest a theef thou consentest with him thou givest thy mouth to evill and thy tongue frameth deceite From hence we may see God will not owne those who consent or joyne with theefes And a worse forte of theefes cannot bee then the Rebbells of England because no honest man is ever the better by joyning with such but allways the worse Remember the Inhabitants of Seachem And because God is silent and seemes to take no notice Judges 9.4.5.6.44.45 therefore they thinke that all is well Supposing God to bee like them selves who sayth Now consider this yethat forget God Least I teare you in peeces Vers 21.22 and there bee none to deliver So that you may see that it is more dangerous in regard of the Judgements of God vpon such or as doth hange over the heads or attend vpon such as this evill generation is then the Infamy of the world can bee by farre in regarde of men SIR That which may the more and the rather stirre vp the spirit of your Majesty and your good people against the sayd Rebbells in England Is this First Because in former time in the like case the Kings of England have divers times beene helped or Releeved with Shipping Men 2. Chron. 36 z 2. and Mony from France when the Relation betweene the Kings of France and of England was not so neare as now it is Ezra 1.1 Secondly they that destroy with persecution and murder your best friends will also take occasion to doe the like by your Majesty as soone as they have prepared them helpers like vnto them selves in your Kingdom Thirdly because it is sayd that the Innocent shall stirre vp him selfe against the hypocrite What credite can it bee for your Majesty Job 17.8 or any other that loves Equity to have correspondence in the least with the throne of iniquity that frameth mischiefe by a Law Psal 94.10 Who gather them selves togeather against the soules of the Righteous Psal 94.20.21 and condemne the Innocent bloud Fourthly that which makes my hart even tremble within mee is that these Sonnes of Lucefer have so contrived theyr villonous plots as to cause your Majesty the King of England to fight one against the other as I greatly feare they will bring to passe or that some one or other of his Fathers house at the feare thereof I am greatly troubled I have just cause likewise to thinke that they are also the cause of the continuation of the difference so long betweene your Majesty and your owne Vnkle the King of Spaine by which meanes the Godly and Just indeavours of the Pope and others towards that needefull worke are from time to time blasted and frustrated even of the sayd Pope and many others who are more Just in theyr Demands and more Innocent in theyr Actions then the best of them to wit the Rebbels of England because the feare of God is with them but the sayd Rebbells have fully and longe since many ways approved them selves to be at the least some of those who God is sayd to abhore and to hate which cannot cleare them selves of the gilt of none of these six things which God is said to hate in the 6. of the Proverbs of Salomon Neyther can they ever cleare them selves of the seaventh which is an abomination to the Lord. To wit proud Lookes Lying tonges hands that shed Innocent bloud an hart that deviseth wicked Imaginations feet that bee swift in running to mischiefe a false witnesse that spaketh Lyes And him that soweth discord amongst brethren or emnety betwixt deare friends And who so neare like to the divell as the Robbels of England who hasten them selves to doe all such things Psal 5.6 The Lord will abhirre the bloudy and deceatfull man David is against them that flatter with their tounges neyther is it easy to prove that such are better then Traittors Psal 35. vers 19.20 That same Holy King spake and prayed against such as hated him selfe without a cause who spake not for peace but devised deceatfull matters against them that weare quiet in the Land Two very good Kings were blamed 2. Sam. 19. vers 5.6 the one by the chiefest Generall of his owne Army that he hated his friends and loved his enemies Now it is most certaine that such as doe so doe shame the faces and weaken the hands and sorely greeve the harts of all theyr best friends and most faithfull servants as appeares by Naball 1. Sam. 25.10 the Carmollite Naball rayled at them which had showne kindenesse to him and his And marke how his honest servants behaved them selves in this case Vers 14. who by their relation of David and his Mens behaviour towards them in the field who weare a wall vnto them night and day together with the haste and wisdome of Abygaile theyr Mistres prevented the destruction of all the houshould of Naball Vers 16.17.18 and of all that belonged vnto him For the prevention there of David praysed and blessed the Lord God of Israell and blessed the advise of shee that appeased his Anger which kept him from shedding of bloud and from avenging himselfe with his owne hand Had not Abygaill wisely hasted to meet David who with terms of humillity apeased his anger Vers 31.33.34 there had not one beene left alive that pissed against the wall The second vnto whom the Seer Jehuw the son of Hannania said vnto that good King Jehosophat shouldest thou helpe the vngodly and love or joyne with them that hate the Lord 2. Chron. 19 vers 2. Therefore is wrath vpon thee from before the Lord. O King of

A DISCOVERY OR CERTAINE OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING The crafty and cursed Proceedings of the Conspirators or Rebbells of ENGLAND against their owne King Queene Church Government then established To wit 1639. And the Liberty Peace Fafety Quiet-Beeing of that our Nation and other Kingdomes thereunto belonging By whom the People of other Nations have beene also Cheated and Troubled Observed by J. M. Whose Hart hath for many yeares together mourned in secret for the Calamity by the sayd Rebbels brought vpon his owne and other Nations 1. Samuel Chap. 15. vers 23. Rebellion is as the sinne of witchcraft They are inclosed in their owne Fat with their mouth they speake proudly Psal 17.10 They are waxen Fat they shine yea they over-passe the deeds of the wicked they judge not the cause the cause of the Fatherlesse yet they prosper and the right of the needy doe they not judge Shall I not visit for these things saith the Lord Shall not my soule bee avenged of such a nation as this Ierem. 5.28.29 Printed in the yeare 1657. To the Beloved Discreet and understanding Reader SIR and SIRS MAY it please you with patience to Read and consider according to wisdome and bee not rash to judge condemne nor censure as sometimes the humor and custome of some is to doe euen by my betters As it shall please God to permit give your selves convenient time with deliberation to scanne and marke what you read not only for what followes in this small pamphlet but for what it signifies or further aluds unto which doth consist of matter beyond the expression of any mortall man as of himselfe And though I doe most humbly confesse that I have neither the head nor the mouth of the Learned much lesse the Tongue of the Eloquent neither hath my breeding beene such as to make mee so capable for such a businesse as some other men And however my infirme and weake disposition is knowne and seene to the world or to many as wel as to my selfe yet it is possible by the gratious assistance of God Almighty that though this little Booke comes to bee produced vnto the veuw of the world by so weake an Instrument from whom it is not expected yet I haue some reason to conceave a possibility and that by the providence and power of God that not onely the wary Reader but also the Learned may finde some thing in it worth their notice Though it doth not follow that I shall bee fully understood at the first reading of it And this I doe mention from mine owne experience when I haue read the workes of other men SIR and SIRS This may bee intended for some such as doe holde or have held little or much with Theefes and Murtherers who by disguising them selves have not beene rightly knowne to bee what they are and it would be labor in vaine for to perswade those who are resolved to cleave vnto them though the said Conspirators have cast away the feare of the Lord as may bee well seene by their continuall presumption flattering reveylings purgery blasphemy witchcraft and what so ever possible can be worse For their disposition is to delight in mischief as well as to flatter themselves with the ruine of others 2. The desperate condition the Rebbels of England have brought upon them selves doth require them to persist or continew in mischiefe because it is contrary both to their nature custome and safety and all the like of them for to sease from doeing of evill nor will they sease from seducing of al others that they can possible provaile withall for to make them even like them selves so long as they know of any righteous nation who doth feare the Lord and abhorre such guilt unlesse they bee subdued without which not any Nation in all Europe shall long have rest unlesse any should bee found to bee like them selves of whom there is litle likely hood of escaping ous of the snares of the divell or as litle hope as for a Woolfe to become a Lambe 1. Tim. 1.26 As I have had more then ordmary Reasons to thinke almost twenty yeares together and that to my exceeding great sorrow and griefe of heart And though some times I have hoped by the helpe of the Lord and from the Confidence of other men that the Rebbels should have beene forced unto obedience or unto some thing like unto equity But in all this time I never expected that the Rebbels would ever willingly yeeld vnto any thing that was righteous just or reasonable because I constantly have had strong Reasons to the contrary vnlesse they were thereunto forced These things are Remarkable First That they have hypocritically contrary to their owne protestations Vsurped not onely the Crowne and Revenues of the King but the precious Lafe of the King himselfe and many other worthy Persons before and since and that by secret formes of Petitions framed by them selves in private and cunningly set the people a worke by some of their owne Busi-bodies to come vnto Westmunster from and about London Ipswich Buckingam-Schire and the like factious people who in a clamerous manner came crying Iustice Iustice For those very things that the Conspirators before were resolved to doe namely for the taking away of the Laves and Estats of such as were more blamelesse and honourable then themselves by a thousand degrees And they have Pressed Imprisonned Ba●●s●ed and Murthered many thousands of their Equals at home and abroad and they have made Warre with severall forrame Nations without and against the consent of the King and that by the helpe of that cursed Army of theirs with which they compelled the Country to maintaine against them selves and how-ever they falsely pretend to represent the Body of the Nation as may appeare in all their Proceedings Seeing all their Actions have beene contrary and against the will and minde of the Body of the Nations as may appeare by their unlawfull choyse of members like themselves contrary to the Countrys choyse A DISCOVERY OR Certaine Observations concerning the crafty and cursed proceedings of the Conspirators or Rebbels of England against their owne King Queene Church and Government c. SIR and SIRS MY Reasons why I for almost these twenty yeares together haue beene exceedingly desirous to see a firme and a Righteous Peace betweene the Kings of Spaine and France which to my comefort the King of Spaine hath often and ernestly desiered And so hath his Helynesse this present Pope who vnder God is unto both Kingdoms a Righteous Judge A faithfull Stuard A Loving and A tender-harted Father Who vnder God and in the behalfe of God his Heauenly Father doth very much desire the comfort Peace and Saffety of ther● both they being two of the most honorablest Kingdoms of all the world and the ancientests for Christianety My Second Reason is that seeing both Kings doe as Justly possesse each King his owne Crowne as any in all the world and therfore it is needffull and high time

Robe and as a Diademe hee was eyes to the blinde and feet to the Lame Iob. 29.13.14.15 But wickednesse proceedeth onely from the wicked Why then will the King of France any longer bee prevailed withall to hunt and to hinder his best friends 1. Sam. 24.13.14 The Lord will one day bee Judge betwixt you and your friends whom I have so often mentioned SIR Follow the Example of Daniell and examine causes that bee difficult with warinesse as it is in the History of Susanna Vers 51.52 that the sworde may bee speedily called backe and not destroy any longer and remember that it will bee bitternesse in the latter end as Ioab did at the motion of Abnar though hee was both valliant and victorious 2. Sam. 2.26.27 It were good to bee knowne what the Pope the Kings of England Denmarke the State of Venice and the like of them what they have don against the King or Kingdome of France that their Assistance nor their Advice may neyther bee desiered nor accepted in the composing and ending of all the differences betweene the Crowns of Spaine and France I dare not thinke but that there is vnderstanding and conscinable men to be found in all these some other States who by Learning and godly Wisedom may be able to decide such waighty matters without consuming of any more Bloud or Treasure the continuance wherof is the ruing of your best friends the endagering of your Crown and your Person And remember that your Majesty hath a Crowne many good Subjects a life your owne soule to take care of in time against that time to come feare search I doe most humbly show that the reason wherefore I presse this so farre so high is of great necessety for how can I enduer to see the evill that is come vpon other Nations as well as England How shall I bee able to see or to heare the mischief that is like to come vpon your Majesty your owne people as well as vpon some of your best friends already neither is it any light affliction or terror vnto my heart that the contrivers of mischiefe Esther 8.6 doth cause the King of England or some of his Fathers house to bee like to come in Arms against your Majesty in the defence of those vnder whome they are compeld to shelter them selvs for protection and Subsistance By reason of the wickednesse of the Conspirators in their owne Land the like whereof was never heard before I hope that what I intend for good shall not bee vnderstood nor Imputed vnto me as evill Because I feare or fore-see daungers by way of warning which are not so much discovered nor feared as they ought to bee for timely prevention That makes mee more earnest and plaine then otherwise I should dare to bee Therfore First one extremity forceth another Secondly how ever some may interpreate that so meane a Man takes so much vpon him it is not in the behalfe of my selfe but in regard of the evill that is already come vpon thousands of my betters both of my owne and other Nations Thirdly For the prevention of the like in time to come from your Majesty your people and the like of you and other Nations who know not the crafty proceedings of the conspirators of England so well as my selfe who in deceat subtilty and Cruelty exceede all others that I know in the world Fourthly though a meane man should bee vnderstood to rebuke or to seem to bee too bould Proverb 23.24 yet it is sayd That such an one shall afterward with goodmen finde more favour then hee that flattereth with his tongue especially when affaires and times requier it Holy King David Psal 141.5 was content the Righteous should smite him and conceaved it a kindnesse to bee reproved and called it an exellent oyle that would not breake his head and he would pray for such in their Calamnityes A Fifth Reason is Because I have yet greater Reasons for all that I have sayd then any I have yet given without which I should never have adventured to have vndertaken the like of this seeing I have neyther the Head the Tonge nor the Penn of the Learned or Elloquent man onely the discarge of my owne conscience betwixt God and my selfe is the cause I dare conseale it no longer Sixtly This is by way of Introduction or alluding to some thing else which by the providence of God Almighty I have conceaved or vnderstood such things concerning the Conspirators and some of theyr helpers about these seaventeene yeares Which out of a timerous and fearefull disposition I have hytherto forborne to publish this to the world In all which time I have vnfainedly and constantly longed and hoped for a Righteous settlement by other meanes without my declaring my selfe As by Gods Grace I hope in time to come for to doe If the Lord please for to give me Life and health and where withall to subsist by Seaventhly because what I have to make knowne to the world is not easely entertraind nor vnderstood by all men espesially by those vnto whose shame it alueds Neyther can I possibly Imagine nor dare I give any other Reason why such things as I have yet to show 1. Cor. 3.19 by the wonderfull works of the Lord who in his owne time revealeth secrets and taketh such as are worldly wise in theyr owne Craftinesse But why I should come to conceave or vnderstand such things so longe since more then any other meane man I am able to give no other Reason for it but that it seemes to mee that God Almighty was pleased to looke vpon my tribulation which I was in at that time To wit Gen. 31.42 Anno 1636. which great anguish of soule had laine vpon mee two yeares before and ever since But I vnderstood not that it concerned the Rebbells of England vntill the yeare 1639. And so at severall times since The particulars wherof and the Reasons for it I shall by Gods Gratious Assistance more fully and clearly show in time to come if it shall please God to deale with mee as afore sayd But for some Reasons knowne to my selfe I shall omitt them at present I hope that all such as have been deceaved or drawen on by the wiles of the Rebbells the cunning craftynesse of them likewise those that are free from having any hand with them will beware in time to come how they give any heed to them or to any thing they say further then to secure or set them selves against them For these have beene no light things which have moved mee to take more then ordinary notice of theyr vngodly proceedings as well against men of low as of high degree of our owne and other Nations Therfore it will bee your Wisdome to consider that it is not a vainething but it is your life and safety to cleave vnto those who feare the Lord Deut. 32.29.47 and

beware of Intangling your selves with such Rebbells So shall you by the blessing of the Lord preserve your lives and Estates long in peace O you that may doe good against the Oppressors doe it quickly and with your Might For there is no worke nor devise nor knowledge nor Wisdome Eccles 9.10 in the grave whether you goe Now consider what I say and the Lord give you vnderstanding to doe that which is good For what can it profit a man 2. Tim. 2.7 though he should devide the spoyle with them or bee inriched by brybes or gaine the whole world Mark 8.36 and loose his owne soule Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soule Let not him that is or may bee deceaved trust in vanity for vanity shall bee his recompence and the congregation of hypocrits shall bee dissolate and fier shall consume the Tabernacles of bribery They conceave mischiefe Job 15.32.34.35 and bring forth vanity and theyr belly prepareth deceat Wherfore I say againe beware of doggs beware of evill workers beware of the Conspirators of England and so I humly take my leave for this time SIR and SIRS It is not for any thing that I have lost of my owne in England though I have suffered enough elsewhere but it is chiefly to disburden my Conscience of what I have yet to say By this the world may observe that the Vsurpers of England have by violence removed such as were in power so that no Justice can bee done by them though they were lawfully called to the Government neyther will the Conspirators them selves relieve the Oppressed by Justice though they bee earnestly sought vnto To doe any thing that is good they have neyther will nor courage But theyr study is onely for evill and mischiefe wronge and opression and that continually as may apeare out of what is before mentioned namely the complaint which I made to the Protector of the Army and some others in England in March last Therefore it is of great necessity that all men take speciall heed of these slye secret and cunning deceavors because they by misleading and seducing the people of England within it selfe so by forms and showes of hollynesse as by plausable and faire pretences of indeavoring that Justice and Judgment may take place just like Absolom 2. Sam. 15.2.3.4.5.6 Who seemed to bee Religious as they doe vers 7. But it was to Conspire against the King and the Kingdome as the Rebbels of England have done Then of a sudden they set them selves against such as by the providence of God and the favour of the King and the Law of the Land were set over them First by notorious slaunders in private against such as were farre more honest and Emenent then any of them selves Secondly in a more open and Impudent maner they stird vp many of the meanor sort of people to bee contentious and envious like vnto them selves To wit the Absoloms and the Achithophells against those who it had pleased God to set over them so that theyr very name and savour stanke in the nostrills of all that first discovered theyr cursed plottings Thirdly they have most grosly sedused and beguyld all other Protestants abroad in other Nations yet to my owne knowledge many whereof namely of severall other nations are neyther Cheats Theeves Juggelors nor busy bodies as the Rebbells of England and some of Schotland are as they for many years together have been Yet like Rabshekahs with bould whorelike faces they adresse or assotiate themselves with all Protestants who are Godly harmles at home abroad as if there were no difference betweene the good Protestants of other Contryes that Generation of Tyrants Theeff Murderors in England yet by their fauning colloging together with theyr Lies they have mis-informed and corrupted the mindes of such as would tremble to thinke of doing such things as the Rebbells of England have done yet the mallice of them have caused the other that is to say some Protestants abroad for to Judge amisse of those who are fare more Righteous and harmlesse then any of those who are full of all subtilty by whom to the great greefe of my hart many Protestants of other countryes have beene mis-informed and deceaved I dovnfainedly acknowledge my selfe to bee a Protestant but my faith is not strong enough to beleeve that the name of a Protestant can Justify mee before God if I conspire eyther against Catholickes or Protestants for to murder them or to take away theyr Good Names or Estates all which the Rebbells of England have by fraude and violence done to both and which is worsse to my sorow I finde my selfe to be past hope ever to see any remorce or amendement in the sayd conspirators who accustome them selves to contrive and delight in mischiefs Who cause strife and debate between frind and frind Isai 58.4 betwixt Parents and Children and betwixt Man and Wife Who fast for strife and debate and to smite with the fist of wickednesse Vers 6. The fast that I have chosen saith the Lord is to loose the bands of wickednesse to vndoe the heavy burden and to let the opressed goe free and to breake every yoake But the Rebbells of England by fraud and strong delusions have Murdered their betters with their tounges and wicked hands and taken away the Estates from the fatherlesse and the Widdows vnlesse some small matter they leave to some yet hardly so much as will keepe them alive in regard of the quallety in which they have formerly lived and by the helpe of their hypocritecall Army who have beene instructed and bred by seditious Parents and by some other factious famelyes as by some scismaticall Ministers who for their bellys and filthy lucers sake Rom. 16.18 and by creeping or sneaking into houses have by faire speeches or fanning words deceaved the harts of the simple Where they were not able to seduce men they would cast in theyr poyson where they found silly women who by them were leade away captive 2. Tim. 3.6 such as were laden with divers lusts and by their meanes become contentious against their husbands And these sedusors and their followers are they who have constantly and wickedly incouraged and aplauded the sayd Army who like Doeg the Edomite serve the Conspirators even as Spyes and Informors against the peaceable and tender harted men of England 1. Sam. 22.9.18 whose consciences serve them not to bee Rebbells against their lawfull King and Nation because their soules abhorre it and so doth mine And by the help of the said Armye have Crumwell and his consorts murdered the Fathers and the Pillers of our country vpon whom vnder God the peace and prosperity of England rested And by whose Industrons care the lives liberties and Estates of our Nation of all degrees were in safety 1. Pet. 2.13 14.15 so long as God and the King and those who were sent by him were obayed according

the presumption of the Rebbells was so extreame against his Majesties Person and his Subjects that it could no longer bee induered for them selves doe know that his Majesty was bound in conscience by his Oath and by the Law of the Land to defend the Ministers of Church and State and all other peaceable and obedient subjects so longe as possibly hee could And for somuch as concernes the Kings Councell his Servants and all others that pretend to adheare vnto his Majesty my prayers vnto God Allmighty the desires of my hart and the cryings of my spirit not vnto the God of Rebbells but vnto the Lord of Heaven is more then any man vpon the face of the earth doe know as in Exod. 14.15 That every man high and low may aprove himselfe before God who knowes the hartes of men who sees and takes notice of the actions to bee men that feare and serve God such as love and indeavor with all theyr might to execute Justice and Judgement for all maner of persons as well for the small as the great as it is in the Word of the Lord. Deut. 1.17 And the Lord graunt that every one may bee such as to scorne and abhorre Flattering Bribes and Treason Thou shalt not wrest Judgement Deut. 16.19 thou shall not Respect persons neyther take a gift for a gift doth blinde the eyes of the Wise and pervert the words of the Righteous That which is al-together Just Vers 20. shalt thou follow that thou mayest live and inherit the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee The Lord make all the Kings Subjects milde kinde and curteous one towards another that the Rebbells may not bee able to say any thing that is evill against them And the Lord give vs all grace and wisdome from the highest to the lowest that wee may bee wary that neither Rebbels nor no man deceave vs with vayne words for because of these things cometh the wrath of God vpon the Children of disobedience Bee not therefore partakers with such for the fruit of the spirit is in all Goodnesse Righteousnesse and Trueth See then that you walke circumspectly Redeeming the time because the dayes are evill Eph. 5.6.7.9 ●0 15.16 and never worse then now and that by reason of Crumwell and his Adherents who make the best men weary of their lives whom the oppressed most stand need of By this shall all men know that ye who pretend to bee for the King and the Country of England doe come out of an honest and good Intention if you constantly love all men who are of Godly conversation For the King needs no Desemblors Cheats Proude Scornfull nor Contentious persons neither can his present condition despence with such because if any such should bee in or about his Courte or in his Majesties Armies Ezec. 3 20. as in the 2. Revel vers 13.14 they will prove worsse then the plague or the canket in any mans body And if men prove constantly faithfull to God and their King and delight to bee continually in Peace Love and good will one towards another and withall bee vigelent and continually wachtfull and beware of Lurcking or Sneaking Curres which the Rebbells have or will send amongst you Therefore you that by expeperience know the fidelety one of a nother associate your selves often together and take notice of such busie-bodies as indeavor to make differences strife and envie among men and marke such who falsly accuse any person whether hee bee of High or Low degree and those who indeavor to discharge others from cleaving vnto the King and serving his Majesty in this his extremety Neither will you finde any better way to bring the Rebbells vnto dispaire then by the meanes aforesayd and by causing them to spend their Labors and Monies in vaine Finally My Brethren fare-well bee Perfect and Courageous bee of good comforte bee of one minde live in peace and the God of Love and Peace shall bee with you For if you should in the least give way or any regard vnto such Spies 2. Cor. 13.11 as are imployed by the Rebbells whose custome have allwayes beene to sowe mischeefe contention and discord amongst such as hate Rebbellion And if you by their meanes suffer your selves to bee stired vp to unquiet or disturbe one another take heed that you bee not consumed one of another For this would make the seducing spirits in England who cleave vnto the Rebbells for Reward or for a share of the pray to blaspheame the Lord of Heaven to his face in their Pulpits and they will presumptuously pretend the God of the oppressed to bee the God of Rebbells And First by the way remember this That if by any of the Kings Servants who have receaved Promotion great benefit Subsistance and the Kings favour such Commanders and Souldiers as have willingly vpon their owne charge ventured their Lives and lost their Estates or any such as otherwayes have constantly and with their whole harte and might and that by their great expence and over-throw of their fortunes and subsistance and ever since the begining of the Rebbellion by trueth and experimentall arguments have allwayes stroven to defend maintaine and Justefie the King and all who were faythfull in Authority vnder him to the vndeceaving and Rightly informing of such as were by the Rebbells and their Adherance Malliciously stirred vp against the King and such as were faithfull in Authority who in duty and for conscience sake indeavored to doe God and the Kingdome service As also many good men of Forraine Nations have beene from time to time grosly and wonderfully deluded and bitterly stirred vp by the Lies of the Conspirators against the King and his best Subjects whose slanderous reports have beene constantly discovered and resisted by such as feared God and vtterly abhorred Rebbellion and falsehood to the great satisfaction of many strangers who have been mis-informed by the Conspirators and their Adherants concerning or against the Justnesse of the Kings cause And if the Conspirators can by any means prevaile with such of the Kings Officors or Servants which are in place for to bring such Commandors Souldiors and such others as is before mentioned wrongfully into disgrace by falsehoode and Lies first devised and forged by the Rebbells or their Adherance or if they can cause any such to bee scorned slighted or otherwayes troubled by such as are in favour with the King this will cause the Rebbells to Insult and glory the more though it bee their owne shame and a great mischiefe of their owne contriving this will prove the fainting of all honest harts and the weakening of the hands of such as have yet hope and courage if they can by Brybes secreat wickednes or other devellish artes cause the Kings best Friends and subjects to bee loftily or scornfully looked vpon And if such who never receaved any subsistance reward or benefit shall for their good will continuall paines and expences bee Rewarded with
