The next that takes the Stage is the Newter that long tail'd vermin which is not begotten but engendered of fear and converousnesse that like the Drawer at Saint Dunstance bids all welcome and is indeed now for the Parliament and damne him anon for the King like the picture that side-wayes hath two faces but forthright none He is one that asks leave of the Cavaliers Garrison to lend a small sum to the Parliament the better unsuspected to befriend them with intelligence and yet brings his money by stealth too as if he were afraid of Over-seers when as he hath made his peace before-hand and there payes in a little with a great deale of perjur'd protestations and ever after takes himself for a friend to the Cause and is ready to binde any man to his good behaviour that thinks otherwayes of him confidently pretending to all those Parliament Declarations that promise reparation as if his name were in them intitling himself to future indempnity for his little good-will in his foure-penny friendship The Remedy Let these half-faced groats be for ever reckoned amongst clipt silver and never goe for currant coyne that are so light in the ballance there is as much difference between cyphers and figures as between something and nothing Lay no weight upon them for they 'le deceive you at a dead lift I wish there be not too many such in the Parliament that hunt with the Hound and run with the Hare that factor for the King by vertue of the Common-wealths trust throw such Jonasses over-board or they 'le sinck the ship The Minorite Cavaliers that but lived in the Enemies Garrisons did lesse hurt then some Newters that lived out of them therefore I know not why they also should not compound or at least pay double Excize as well for Newtrality as the other for bare Malignancy being equally hurtfull let them both goe for Delinquents in Concreto I mean Verb Newters that can stand in construction without a Nominative case men of note and name that have talents of estate reputation c. to use and hide them in Napkins Who therefore as they are not much richer so nor much poorer for the times at least not for their good wills IV. In the arse of these follows the Apostate Round head dow baked Patriot a weed that grows up and down both among people and Parliament A sort of men that out of private and personall dis-satisfaction misprision and jealousie have lost their first love and received circumcision because they see the Parliaments Road will never bring them to Mahomets Paradise for instead of liberty and property they looked for pleasure and plenty and failing thereof they desert the Cause being like them that followed Christ for loaves State-Arminians that dreaming of an universall redemption at first came flying into the flock with the wings of free-will and common grace which in this Sun-shine of recesse being melted Icarus-like they are falne from heaven to earth totally if not finally opening their mouths against the Parliament and Army like hounds upon a stop having no way else to cover their shame whose principles founder with long travell and they like jades tire before they come to their journeyes end The Remedy Of all men these ought to be branded in the forehead never to be confided in such murmering spies that wanting faith to go thorow-stitch indeavour to set the people in a mutiny at the skirts of Canaan that their Carcass●s may fall in the wildernesse These should doe well to repent if possible this sinne may be forgiven them and doe their first works for salvation will come some other way to England but they and their fathers house shall perish V. Now to consider the People in general under no other notion then as English men These are too little sensible of the good they have gained Because they have not all they would therefore they dispise all they have thinking that reformation may bee done in a day though it was many yeares undoing and without charge both which are impossible the Jewes found it so when they came out of Babylon the Samaritans will not let the work go on smoothly either of the Temple or City Church or Common-wealth thinke you the devill lyes dead in a ditch nothing lesse his strong opposition is the hopefullest argument of a happy settlement and reformation though the times and meanes too be both in the hands of God They listen too much to reports against their best friends and beleeve them too easily not discerning the times nor the guize of men who now being put by other shifts make lies their refuge The Remedy Beleeve it is the Lords worke as once you did in the dayes of thanksgiving and that therefore it 's fit to stay the Lords leasure for faith especially j●yned with hope makes not hast murmure not against Moses and Aaron who can neither make more hast not better speed than God gives leave such wildernesse sinnes in the people have beene no small impediment to the Parliament weakning their hands and hearts Owne your representative body though not every member of it notwithstanding the Scots insinuations in their printed papers or Preg … icus his scurrility in his printed Pamphlets Put not impossibilities upon the Parliament nor expect them not from them Value safety above profit and therefore force them not to disband the Army against their owne reason and to your apparent ruine for whensoever it is disbanded and the Parliament ended for which the King bid staire then hath England scene her best dayes untill things be much more securely settled then appeares at present in the face of affaires or dispositions of people principally the Cavaliers whose tongues betrayes their hearts by whose folly I hope we shall learn to be wise VI.
