of our Worthies as it was plotted against six at one Clap these would overthrow our lawes and rob us of our Religion take away the property of our goods and compell us to an Arbitrary way of government that justice may be bought and sold againe but oh what misery what sad event would ensue when the Judges shall affirme●t legall the Clergie wrongfully in their pulpits teach it and the Cabinet Councell authorize the convenience for matter of State The States of Venice jealous of any their members confederating with enemies cause them to be strangled and hanged up between columns confiscate their goods and estates banish their children and make them incapable of government In the 18. and 21. of King Iames the whole house adjudged it treason to alienate the hearts of the subjects from the Soveraign which hath been the continuall practice of evil counsellors and malignants I humbly desire God to blesse his Majestie but Oh! that he would be pleased to suffer the Parliament to expiate the distractions of the land with the oblation of the troublers of England who hinder both his their and our peace VI.

What kinde of men they are 2. What their practice hath been and then you may the better judg what it is to trust them 1 Observe what kinde of men they are and that for nation religion and estate 1 For nation they are a mixt Army some from Holland of the Dutch others from France On●ale and others of the Irish c. besides the English Cavaliers which may prove of dangerous consequence in case that any of those forreigne nations should come against us with a forraigne Army They have not onely amongst them many Irish Rebels but many women that are come over with them who kill rob and pillage worse then the men and are more bloudy and cruell and at the end of a skirmish use to pillage the dead corps and many times finding them wounded but not dead with knives that they have for the purpose they cut out their throats and abuse and launch them in most wofull manner good Lord rid us of them 2 For their religion there are no doubt some Protestants but Papists Neuters and Atheists good store we are in danger of the Popish Cavaliers that if they should prevaile then we must look for fire and faggot again as it was in Q Maries dayes if not worse The Newters they are ready for any designe and the Atheists I will give you notice of some of their practises 1. By their blasphemies against heaven by these and the like words We will drinke and be drunke whore and be damned and will not be beholden to God to save us we had rather be in hell together then in heaven with the Roundheads the divell that made me damne and ramme into the mouth of a Canon and shoot me nine miles into hell They make Proclamtion amongst themselves that he that can invent some new oath to damne and destroy Pym and his adherents shall have a summe of money given him 2 By their action they appeare to be many of them no better but plain Atheists they drink healths to King Charles in whom they live and move and have their being but amongst other things it is credibly reported that when they came towards London with the King hoping to get an opportunity of pillaging the City though His Majesty knew not their intents His Majesty was asleep one morning when they had a desire to be marching for London who hearing that His Majesty was asleep they wished that he might not awake in a whole fortnight and drunk healths to his confusion and to the confusion of our blessed Lord Iesus Christ and his Gospell as also the confusion of the Lord Kimbolton Sir Arthur Hazzlerig M.

What they are in their estates Oneale was a prisoner that broke out of the Tower many of them are Delinquents to the Parliament many Malignants many Irish Rebels that hope for better pillage here then there many souldiers from other places whose livelihood is service in the wars from one countrey to another many of them are such as have spent their means which their father left them and now are glad of so convenient an opportunity hoping to raise themselves on the ruines of others 2 What the practice of the Cavaliers is we may judge by considering what it hath been and that sha●l be declared briefly by their extreme boldnesse with His Majesty 1. By urging him to undergo all dangers with them or if His Majesty ever comply with the Parliament to assure them of a pardon 2. To grant them the pillage for their paines 3. That His Majesty would give way for some of the Irish Rebels to come over to assist him c. a boldnesse of an infinite height God bring His Majesty safe home from amongst them 2 Lastly their cruelty in their practices gives us most cause of all to beware of them for that hath been most cruell and bloudy besides their common plundering and pillaging 1 One Iane White of Leicester a woman great with child they came into her house the good-woman little thinking that they would have wronged her but because she did not please them with discourse they shot her clean through the belly with a brace of bullets and she died 2.
