A93406	The picture of a new courtier drawn in conference, between, [brace] Mr. Timeserver, and Mr. Plain-heart. In which is discovered the abhominable practises and horrid hypocrisies of the Usurper, and his time-serving parasites. In which a Protector having been in part unvailed, may see himself discovered by I.S. a lover of Englands dear bought freedomes.	I. S.	1656 (1656)	Wing S42; Thomason E875_6; ESTC R206568	14,398	16

to_o make_v a_o prince_n according_a to_o machivels_n rule_n thus_o you_o have_v my_o persuasion_n concern_v the_o last_o thing_n you_o propose_v tim._n i_o shall_v consider_v of_o what_o you_o have_v say_v and_o if_o i_o find_v that_o i_o may_v be_v of_o your_o mind_n and_o keep_v my_o honour_n and_o profit_n and_o place_n under_o his_o highness_n and_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o private_o that_o i_o can_v say_v amen_o to_o what_o you_o have_v say_v be_v it_o not_o that_o i_o love_v the_o honour_n and_o praise_n of_o man_n more_o than_o the_o honour_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n but_o i_o pray_v sir_n resolve_v i_o this_o question_n whether_o his_o highness_n may_v not_o expect_v better_a success_n in_o these_o his_o late_a undertake_n then_o that_o which_o befall_v strafford_n and_o the_o king_n plain_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o his_o success_n will_v be_v the_o same_o or_o worse_o if_o worse_o can_v be_v as_o will_v appear_v by_o these_o follow_a consideration_n first_o he_o that_o walk_v in_o jeroboam_n sin_n shall_v partake_v of_o jeroboam_n plague_n second_o he_o know_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o they_o which_o do_v such_o thing_n be_v worthy_a of_o death_n do_v not_o only_o the_o same_o but_o have_v pleasure_n in_o they_o which_o do_v they_o therefore_o his_o success_n will_v be_v the_o same_o rom_n 1.32_o three_o he_o that_o judge_v and_o condemn_v a_o other_o for_o do_v unrighteous_a thing_n and_o he_o himself_o do_v the_o same_o doubtless_o he_o shall_v not_o escape_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n rom._n 23._o four_o if_o strafford_n the_o grand_a master_n of_o state_n policy_n can_v not_o keep_v his_o own_o head_n upon_o his_o shoulder_n nor_o escape_v the_o hand_n of_o vengeance_n that_o god_n have_v stretch_v out_o against_o oppressor_n then_o doubtless_o the_o scholar_n will_v not_o go_v free_a five_o if_o the_o king_n which_o be_v a_o great_a student_n in_o the_o politic_n yet_o can_v not_o keep_v himself_o from_o bow_v down_o to_o the_o block_n of_o destruction_n that_o just_a reward_n for_o his_o unrighteous_a deed_n from_o all_o which_o i_o conclude_v your_o master_n portion_n will_v be_v the_o same_o if_o not_o prevent_v by_o timely_a repentance_n tim._n sir_n as_o to_o these_o thing_n i_o will_v say_v more_o when_o the_o time_n be_v alter_v for_o you_o know_v my_o manner_n be_v to_o be_v for_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v profitable_a although_o its_o contrary_a to_o equity_n and_o justice_n but_o we_o will_v pass_v to_o the_o next_o question_n whether_o his_o highness_n do_v not_o speak_v like_o a_o gracious_a man_n in_o reprove_v the_o last_o parliament_n for_o put_v their_o finger_n on_o their_o brother_n conscience_n plain_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v his_o tongue_n be_v like_o a_o good_a samaritan_n but_o his_o heart_n like_o a_o jew_n which_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o one_o another_o he_o speak_v like_o a_o saint_n but_o act_v like_o a_o serpent_n as_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o same_o man_n which_o the_o parliament_n imprison_v for_o his_o conscience_n have_v he_o imprison_v since_o for_o the_o same_o and_o after_o ten_o or_o twelve_o week_n restraint_n command_v he_o to_o be_v carry_v by_o his_o mercenary_a fouldier_n to_o portsmouth_n and_o there_o snipt_a he_o and_o send_v he_o to_o a_o remore_n island_n to_o be_v keep_v in_o straight_a and_o close_a imprisonment_n &_o yet_o can_v reprove_v the_o parliament_n as_o confident_o as_o if_o they_o have_v commit_v the_o great_a abomination_n in_o put_v their_o finger_n on_o their_o brother_n conscience_n although_o he_o can_v thrust_v in_o his_o whole_a hand_n tim._n sir_n but_o what_o end_n shall_v his_o highness_n have_v in_o reprove_v the_o parliament_n for_o that_o which_o i_o confess_v he_o himself_o have_v do_v since_o plain_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o ingenerall_n that_o his_o own_o advantage_n be_v his_o end_n more_o than_o any_o good_a to_o the_o freedom_n of_o man_n conscience_n 2._o more_o particular_o first_o he_o know_v he_o have_v dissatisfy_v many_o honest_a man_n by_o his_o first_o speech_n and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o way_n to_o draw_v they_o in_o but_o put_v on_o his_o old_a veil_n of_o godly_a pretence_n in_o speak_v for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o reprove_v they_o which_o will_v have_v infringe_v it_o second_o that_o he_o may_v commend_v himself_o to_o the_o people_n as_o one_o that_o be_v tender_a of_o their_o conscience_n and_o that_o his_o large_a hollow_a heart_n can_v hold_v all_o that_o be_v godly_a though_o differ_v in_o judgement_n and_o that_o they_o need_v not_o fear_v to_o put_v their_o trust_n under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n for_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v their_o servant_n for_o their_o good_n three_o that_o he_o may_v the_o better_o persuade_v the_o people_n that_o parliament_n be_v of_o little_a use_n as_o they_o may_v see_v by_o the_o action_n of_o the_o last_o who_o spend_v their_o time_n about_o error_n in_o religion_n and_o neglect_v the_o take_v away_o the_o great_a error_n in_o the_o state_n thus_o you_o have_v my_o persuasion_n to_o the_o last_o question_n tim._n sir_n i_o see_v you_o be_v like_o your_o name_n viz._n plain_a heart_a and_o that_o you_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o turn_v your_o inside_n outward_a which_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o my_o soul_n dread_v because_o all_o my_o beauty_n lie_v in_o the_o outside_n you_o will_v hardly_o believe_v how_o the_o news_n of_o the_o protector_n be_v unvail_v make_v my_o very_a heart_n shake_v also_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o i_o be_o more_o free_a to_o discourse_v in_o private_a than_o in_o public_a therefore_o i_o pray_v at_o this_o time_n resolve_v i_o this_o question_n what_o the_o reason_n be_v his_o highness_n put_v in_o execution_n that_o bloody_a ordinance_n which_o be_v make_v in_o 48_o against_o the_o thing_n they_o call_v blasphemy_n and_o heresy_n plain_a doubtless_o you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o the_o great_a service_n this_o ordinance_n may_v do_v your_o master_n for_o it_o conclude_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o heretic_n which_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o to_o believe_v more_o than_o his_o reason_n can_v comprehend_v now_o this_o be_v of_o singular_a use_n for_o your_o master_n for_o he_o that_o believe_v god_n call_v he_o to_o the_o government_n must_v believe_v more_o than_o his_o reason_n can_v apprehend_v second_o he_o that_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o spark_n of_o honesty_n or_o christian_n goodness_n in_o the_o great_a man_n before_o mention_v must_v believe_v more_o than_o his_o reason_n can_v comprehend_v three_o he_o that_o believe_v that_o o.p._n intend_v any_o good_a to_o these_o three_o nation_n he_o must_v believe_v more_o than_o his_o reason_n can_v comprehend_v four_o he_o that_o believe_v england_n be_v in_o a_o better_a condition_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o long_a parliament_n he_o must_v believe_v more_o than_o his_o reason_n can_v comprehend_v five_o he_o that_o believe_v himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n be_v any_o better_a than_o slave_n and_o mere_a vassal_n to_o the_o will_n of_o o.p._n he_o do_v believe_v that_o which_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o as_o you_o may_v perceive_v by_o that_o which_o fall_v from_o his_o own_o lip_n viz._n that_o he_o have_v a_o unlimited_a power_n till_o he_o be_v please_v to_o limit_n himself_o in_o the_o paper_n which_o he_o call_v the_o government_n which_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o old_a maxim_n that_o he_o which_o bind_v may_v loose_v and_o he_o that_o have_v power_n to_o loose_v can_v bind_v from_o which_o you_o may_v easy_o discern_v that_o our_o life_n estate_n and_o liberty_n depend_v upon_o his_o will_n and_o grace_n therefore_o he_o that_o believe_v we_o be_v any_o better_a than_o slave_n believe_v more_o than_o his_o reason_n can_v comprehend_v and_o therefore_o o._n p._n have_v need_n to_o make_v this_o ordinance_n pass_v for_o good_a law_n that_o the_o people_n may_v be_v bind_v to_o stretch_v their_o faith_n beyond_o their_o reason_n that_o in_o so_o do_v they_o may_v believe_v cromwell_n to_o be_v that_o which_o indeed_o he_o be_v not_o a_o honest_a man_n tim._n sir_n i_o have_v a_o word_n to_o speak_v on_o my_o master_n behalf_n and_o that_o be_v he_o be_v bind_v by_o his_o oath_n to_o maintain_v all_o the_o law_n statute_n and_o ordinance_n as_o well_o as_o any_o one_o of_o they_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v maintain_v this_o before_o mention_v plain_a suppose_v that_o which_o you_o have_v say_v be_v true_a yet_o you_o have_v not_o acquit_v your_o master_n from_o be_v a_o transgressor_n for_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o establish_v two_o shilling_n six_o penny_n a_o day_n for_o the_o horseman_n and_o ten_o
