GODS REVENGE Vpon his Parliaments AND Peoples Enemies by the examples of some great Malignants whom God hath punished to give others warning Being a true Relation of foure Citizens of London dwelling on Ludgate-hill that went to Oxford and with others as ill affected as themselves drank healths to the confusion of the Parliament as they came home one of them broke his leg another broke his backe and the other two fell mad all remaining in a miserable condition together with the like example of the Lord Hopton at Madbury neere Plymouth and one M. Turner Vintner at the half Moone at Oxford Also the Discovery of a bloudy Plot against the City of LONDON LONDON Printed for R. Johnson 164● March .1 1642 GODS Revenge against his Parliaments and Peoples enemies IT is made plain enough to those whose eys are in their heads that the enemies of the Parliament are the enemies of the Lord but the Devill and Papists and a company of ill-affected people have blinded the eys of many amongst us that they cannot see it and therefore will not believe it but such is Gods goodnesse to this poor Kingdome of England that he hath wrought by his Parliament wonderfully and beyond the reach of naturall reason to convince the enemies of the truth and yet they will not believe therefore God hath of late sent strange judgements upon some of them to give the rest warning One M. Turner a Vintner in Oxford that kept a Taverne at the signe of the halfe Moone in the said towne of Oxford where with other malignants that came to him as guests to drink in his house desired his company amongst other strange discourse which they had they fell to drinking of healths and amongst the rest he began an health to the confusion of the Round-heads and in a great bravado drank off his glasse of wine and then leaped and cut two or three capers praying for their confusion but see the judgment of God who sees all the wayes of man and judgeth them according to the wickednesse of their inventions he fell down and brake his leg and he was carried home in great paine but he never recovered of it it cost him his life so that indeed the confusion fell upon himself a fearfull example I judge not his eternall condition for whether he repented or not I cannot tell I pray God others may take heed by his example Another example did lately befall Sir Ralph now made Lord Hopton a wonderfull and remarkable judgment The Earl of Stamford being in Plymouth and keeping it for the King and Parliament having done worthily in opposing him now at last the Lord Hopton being exceedingly puft up with the vain glory of being a Baron forgot himself the more and God too drew up his forces for Plymouth and marched against the Earl of Stamford assuring himself of the taking thereof and therfore he would first with some of his Commanders visit the tavern in a little town called Modbury neer Plymouth and fell to drinking of healths they drunk the Kings health I blame them not for loving the King I pray God blesse His Majesty all that love and honour him not only in words but really from their hearts but to proceed in my discourse divers other healths they drunk but at last the new made Baron began a health to the confusion of the Roundheads and made them all to pledge it this he did in great confidence of overcoming the Earl of Stamford and taking Plymouth where he resolved to play the part of a true Cavalier-plunderer to the confusion of protestants that stood for the king Parliament and having thus pleased his own fancy with the promise of vaine hope and deceived expectation he departed the towne with his fill of the juyce of the grapes and marching neerer to Plymouth the Army was perceved by the Earle of Stamfords forces who beat an Alarm and came against him with an undaunted courage they played their Canons and Muskets and fought stifly on both sides but see what is the event of drinking such healths he got that day such an overthrow as he is never like to repaire the ruines thereof with the losse of divers commanders hundreds of his souldiers and it is reported that himselfe is dangerously hurt so that they to whom he wished confusion their Army have brought him to a miserable condition God give him grace to call for mercy he was so vaine glorious of this determination that messengers brought word to London from him that he had taken Plymouth before the battle began but God disposed it otherwise let others take warning of the like attempt But to come to the last and cheefe part of my discourse namely concerning foure Citizens of London two of which are Habbadashers and the other two Hosiers all neighbours on Lud-gat hill I forbear their names in modesty they are well enough known these foure malignants resolved to go for Oxford pretending to put off some rich wares that they had this dead times which here they could not but to Oxford they went and being there they found out acquantance sutable to their desires what other matters they did at Oxford I stand not to dispute only it is reported that they with their Oxford acquaintance went to the tavern where they were very merry and drank hard amongst the rest they drank the Kings heal●h the Queens Princes and Prince Ruperts health and 〈◊〉 they dranke an hellish and devilish health b … from hell but now too often used by malign●●●s 〈◊〉 Cavaliers they drank an health to the confusion of the Parliament and so parted but mark what f●●lowed having stayed at Oxford so long as they thought fit they repaired to their Inne and called for their horses on which they mount and for London they come with hearts as base and full of rankor against the Parliament as before but justice over took them and smote them by the way and they are made examples for all malignants to look upon one of them fell from his horse by accident broke his leg most dangerously of whom the rest had the best care they could had him to a Chirurgeon got him looked to and had the best meanes they could obtain a second fell from his horse in such a grievous manner that he broke his back and all burised his body in most lamentable wise in so much that it is thought he will hardly escape it The other two seeing these disasters and being smitten in conscience for their drinking of healths to confusion of the Parliament they began to be destracted which encreased so much by reason of the consideration of their great abuse to the King and Parliament and the fearefull sights they had beheld of their fellowes they were exceedingly destracted and raged in a wonderfull manner in so much that their braines were exceedingly broken and they were indeed mad in this miserable condition were they all foure brought to their own houses at Ludgate hill where they are all neighbours and there they lie in a most miserable and deplorable condition yet some of them have found some amendment since there coming home and have exprest some appearance of sorrow and repentance only he who hath broke his back is in most danger as it is reported to escape it God give him grace to call for mercy and give us all grace to trust in him God blesse the King and Parliament and blesse this poor kingdom the Lord remove all our troubles deliver us from all our enemies and settle us in peace The Copie of a Letter of dangerous consequence discovering the bloudy Tragedy to have been acted on
