Hampton-Court CONSPIRACY WITH The Dovvnfall of the Agitators and Levellers who would admit no distinction of Birth or Tittle and out of the Lands of the whole Kingdome in Generall would proportion an equal Estate to every man in particular TOGETHER With the horrid resolution of one George Greenland Corporal who in the space of three dayes did undertake to murder his Majesty at Hampton-Court More then King-catching herein you may spy King-killing Hampton-Courts Conspiracy Printed in the Yeare 1647 Hampton-Court CONSPYRACY A.

S. Sir these Agitating Anthonyes of our time I beleeve have made so many interrogatives of the Prerogative that it is a hard question to resolve whither the devill hath carryed them by the spirit of a Proposall Report bespeakes them voted back to their severall charges that is devoted or consecrated to the charge of the kingdome perhaps the devill hath carryed them to the Spittle pinnacle for not long agoe some of them with their animall agents were seen there to over-looke the kingdomes of the world and the glory of them which appeared for one instance in a Comfit-maker who stood upon a bench dressing Sweet-meates for them like mad and indeed the Sisters gapt upon him as if they wanted sugar plumbs but to the poynt this fellow told them that it was revealed unto him out of the Revelations that twenty years hence at farthest the Saints shall begin their raigne of a thousand years and that text that the meeke shall inherit the earth did wrap him up in such a high sphear of spirituall solace and jocanty that he despise all worldly comfort making but observe whether amongst these Levellers there was not the very forme and matter of a conventice Conspiracy against Hampton Court or the King of it for they gathered hands to begin to make plaine the high-way of our Lord King Charles their argument was that the Creator is no respecter of persons Ergo why should the creature wherefore wee will leave Hampton-Court with my Sister Hannas Kitchin the people chose the King Ergo why should we not chuse whether we will have a King or noe These plots of high concernment were agitated belowe staires in allusion to the powder plot above staires they whimperd out freewill which intimated their inherent ability to act these good works and sweet roguries From all which I infer that the Scribes Pharises Hypocrites instead of paying Tribute to Caesar would have him pay Tribute to their Tub tribunals to bequeath his head to the wise Agitators his body to the liberty of the subject and so he may become if not a Saint a Separatist which if they can accomplish it will probably prognostick that these Saints shall be soveraignes A. B. But what is it that terminates their designe T. S. First a confusion of King and Court Secondly a concussion or knocking together the simple noddels of the vulgar into a community untill they run all horne mad For the first they have the Popes Bull to wit Mr. Peters who must roare the Catholick Commonality out of Allegiance into the coxcomb community of sublunary creatures who of late hath converted his Apostolicall keyes into putry padlocks perswading his Majesty it is the narrow way to heaven to be shut up close whiles himselfe holds riding about like an Itinerary Minister as the just right of liberty of Conscience prohibiting some purblind Presbiters into divine Post boyes The divine Dell and Peters the other day opened their mouth and the devill spit in them and they spake saying the King was but as a dead dog which interpreted is he shal live no longer as a man Rabshekah was a royalist to these rogues was ever such pulpit puppies seen or heard of in this universe that snarled at his soveraigne as a Dog I know not whether it bee the common prayers to punish such prodigious Prophets but I am sure it is divine service to hang them 2. For the second they plead the old custome in the nonage of times and as King Pinus was said when the first that constituted confines and ordained bounds so these Pinnies wil begin anew because al things but of that are become new to be boundlesse all things are to be common to the outward and inward man and nothing proper unlesse it be to propagate a posterity out of their neighbours wifes propristy now I must want a share in a sisters dowry whether it be copy hold Land or to be tenant intale each Citizen must proclaime himselfe a Coukcold and his wife a Concubine and farewell all private devotin in mine Vncles counting-house thirty pounds a yeare shal he distributive justice to those that had just nothing afore towards the execution of which at large they shut up my Lord Mayor and his brethren converting their gold chains into silver mint And these Agitators the no more ring leaders to this Conspiracy T. S.
