The Preface Reader YOu have found in the preceding parts of this Ruina under the Title of Rusticus some few relations of those many plundring outrages committed on the good subjects lives consciences and Estates by the giddy-headed Sectaries In the second place you have met with their fanaticke fury in destroying those once much to be admired Edifices the Cathedrals of this Kingdome In the third you have seen what tyranny they have exercised over the learned and pious Divines in and about London And in the fourth place you have heard the querulous out-cry of that once famous University of Cambridge In this last and remaining part it rests only to give you a Synopsis or short view of the Martiall Actions which did concomitantly occurre in the time of the other and with it a List of suck Noblemen Knights Gentlemen and Commanders as perished on both sides in the fury of lesse th●n five yeares Warre where the men cry of such as fell in defence of Religion King and Lawes will deservedly live for ever whilest the others will dye in their owne putrefaction In this as in the former parts the Reader will easily perceive a great deale of candor and impartialitie to goe along even to the end where these persecuting subjects met with strange successes not given by God as a blessing upon their bad cause but as a scourge for our sinnes which when his infinite goodnesse shall deeme to be sufficiently chastised we doubt not but that he will burne those Rods by destroying the Hydra-headed multitude of Sects and Heresies by re-establishing our gracious Sovera●gne in his ancient Rights and freedome by reducing the Lawes to their old Channell all loyall subjects to their Liberties and Estates and out of the dissentions and impieties of these all-commanding subjects make new Rods for their deserved chastisement which we shall patiently expect in Gods good time March 25. 1647.

NOvember 3. after the unhappy breaches of some former Parliaments began that yet sitting at Westminster called by His Sacred maiesty to advise with him for the redresse of our grievances But instead thereof by the prevalencie of a factions party the Kingdome was voted into unheard-of disobedience against His majesty whereby our grievances were multiplyed Religion and Lawes defaced by incouragement given to Anabaptists Brownists Independants and all manner of Sectaries Churches prophaned the Monuments of the dead violated the Common prayer Booke throwne away every man being left to the dictate of his private Spirit and the whole Kingdome engaged in a most unnaturall and bloody Warre Anno 1641. May 12. The Earle of Strafford Lord Deputy of Ireland after a long and tedious triall was beheaded on Tower-hill It were hard to tell you by what Law other then some rusty volumes of constructive and arbitrary Treason Howbeit his life was sacrificed to appease the thirst of the multitude And although His Maiesty unwillingly signed the Bill It was no small happinesse for him and his Posterity that His maiesty conceived him not meriting so severe and heavy a punishment as the utmost execution of that sentence Dec. 15. The House of Commons published a Remonstrance of the state of the Kingdome therein setting forth all the Errors of His Majesties Government a meere designe to alienate the affection of His Subjects from Him Wherein they also declared that the party of Bishops and Popish Lords in the House of Peeres had hindred the proceedings of divers good Bils passed in the Commons House concerning the Reformation of sundry great abuses and corruptions both in Church and State And thereupon the tumultuous and factious people in and about London resorted to Westminster with clubs and swords crying through the streets Westminster-Hall and between the two Houses No Bishops No Bishops No Popish Lords and abusing the severall Members of either House who they were informed favoured not their ends and using seditious and traiterous speeches against His Majesty himselfe January 3. His Majestie exhibited Articles of High-treason against the Lord Kimbolton and the five Members as for other matters so for endeavouring to subvert the fundamentall Lawes and Government of this Kingdome and to deprive His Majestie of his Regall power and to place an Arbitrary and Tyrannicall power in subjects and for raising and countenancing Tumults thereby to compell the Parliament to Order limit and dispose their proceedings as might concur with their designes 4.

The Lords and Commons petitioned His Majestie that he would forthwith put the Tower of London and all other Forts and the whole Militia of the Kingdome into the hands of such persons as they should recommend unto him to which His Majesty returned this most Gracious Answer that when he should know the extent of Power which was intended to be established in those Persons whom they desired to be the Commanders of the Militia in the severall Counties and likewise to what time it should be limited that no Power should be executed by His Majesty alone without the advice of Parliament then he would be content to put in all
