A65583	A second narrative of the late Parliament (so called) wherein, after a brief reciting some remarkable passages in the former narrative, is given an account of their second meeting, and things transacted by them : as also how the Protector (so called) came swearing, by the living God, and dissolved them, after two or three weeks sitting : with some quæries sadly proposed thereupon : together with an account of three and forty of their names, who were taken out of the house, and others that sate in the other house, intended for a House of Lords, but being so unexpectedly disappointed, could not take root, with a brief character and description of them : all humbly presented to publique view / by a friend to the good old cause of justice, righteousnesse, the freedom and liberties of the people, which hath cost so much bloud and treasury to be carried on in the late wars, and are not yet settled.	Wharton, George, Sir, 1617-1681.	1658 (1658)	Wing W1556; ESTC R8011	50,589	52

Judicature was questioned being dissolved and the Protector taking the Government upon him he adventured to comply with the rest notwithstanding the danger that so he might keep his place and interest and avoid a new Storm or Frown from the present Power Men need not seek far or study much to read him and what principles he acts by All things considered he may doubtless be very fit to be Lord of the Rolls being Master already and to be taken out of the Parliament to be made a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people as well as over the causes in the Rolls being so thoroughly exercised in Negatives at his own will and pleasure as too many have sadly felt 19. Mr. Cleypole Son of Mr. Cleypole in Northamptonshire now Lord Cleypole he long since married the Protectors Daughter a person whose qualifications not answering those honest principles formerly so pretended to of putting none but godly men into places of trust was a long time kept out but since the Apostacy from those principles as also the practise brake in and his Father-in-law the head thereof came to be Protector he was then judged good enough for that dispensation and so taken in to be t Master of his Horse as Duke Hamilton to the King Much need not be said of him his Relation as Son-in-law to the Protector is sufficient to bespeak him every way fit to be taken out of the House and made a Lord and having so long time had a Negative Voyce over his Wife Spring Garden the Ducks Deer Horses and Asses in Jameses Park is the better skilled how to exercise it again in the Other House over the good people of these Nations without any gainsaying or dispute 20. Lord Faulconbridge a Gentleman whose Relations are most Cavaleeres his Uncle formerly Governour of Newark for the King against the Parliament was absent over the water in the time of the late Wars a Neuter at least if not disaffected to the cause came back the Wars being over and hath lately marryed one of the Protectors Daughters and was in a fair way had things hit right to have been one of his Council as well as his Son-in-law however suitable to the times he is lately made a Colonel of Horse his Relation both to the old and new Monarchy may sufficiently plead his worth and merits not onely to have his Daughter but also a Negative Voyce in the other House over all that adventured their lives in the cause formerly and over all the people of these Lands besides 21. Colonel Howard his Interest which is considerable is in the North his Relations there are most Papists and Cavaleeres whom he hath courted and feasted kindly and served their Interest to purpose it 's no matter who lost by it in favour to Sir Arthur Haslerigg was made Captain of the Generals Life-Guard when he was in Scotland wherein he continued for some time in England after he was Protector but not being a Kinsman or a person further to be confided in in that place was shuffled out from thence and to stop his mouth made a Colonel and as the Book says a Major General and had power of Decimation as also made Governour of Barwick Tinmouth and Carlisle hath also tasted with the first of that sweet Fountain of new honour being made a Viscount he was of the Little Parliament and all the Parliaments since is a Member of Mr. Cockains Church and of very complying principles no question to the service of the new Court from whence he received his new honour and having with his fellow Lord Cleypole so excellent a spirit of Government over his Wife Family and Tenants in the Country to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House might seem of right to belong unto him being also lorded before hand 22. Lord Broghil his Rise and Relation for means is Ireland a Gentleman of good parts and wit able to make Romance but was not looked on formerly by those of the Good Old Cause as a person fit to be trusted with the command of one Town or Castle in Ireland yet is he now by this happy change become a goodly Convert to be confided in and is made w President of the Protectors Council in Scotland he was of the Latter Parliaments a great Kingling and one that in the Last Parliament so called put on hard that way wherefore it were great pity he being also a Lord of the old Stamp and so well gifted if he should not be one to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people of England and Scotland as well as of Ireland it being a good while since and almost forgotten that the Protector said It would never be well and we should never see good days whilst there was one Lord left in England and until the Earl of Manchester was called Mr. Mountague 23.

Colonel Hewson then Sir John now Lord Hewson sometime an honest Shoomaker or Cobler in London went out a Captain upon the account of the Cause was very zealous fought on stoutly and in time became a Colonel did good service both in England and Ireland was made Governour of Dublin became one of the little Parliament and of all the Parliaments since a Knight also of the new Stamp The world being so well amended with him and the sole so well stitcht to the upper Leather having gotten so considerable an Interest and Means may well be counted fit to be taken out of the

House to be a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over all of the gentle Craft and Cordwayners Company in London if they please but though he be so considerable and of such Merit in the Protectors as also in his own esteem not onely to be a Knight but also a Lord yet it will hardly pass for currant with the good people of these Lands it being so far beyond the last neither will they think him fit saving the Protectors pleasure to have a Negative Voyce over them though he formerly fought so stiffly against it in the King and Lords in order to set them free 25. Colonel Barkstead then Sir John now Lord Barkstead sometime a Goldsmith in the Strand of no great rank went out a Captain to Windsor Castle was sometime Governour of Reading got at length to be a Colonel then made Lieutenant of the Tower by the old Parliament The Protector so called finding him fit for his turn continued him there and also made him Major General of Middlesex in the Decimating business and assistant to Major General Skippon in London he is one to the life to fulfil the Protectors desires whether right or wrong for he will dispute no commands or make the least demur but in an officious way will rather do more then his share his principles for all Arbitrary things whatsoever being so very thorough let friends or foes come to his Den they come not amiss so he gets by it yea rather then fail he will send out his armed men to break open honest mens Houses and seize their persons and bring them to his Goal and then at his pleasure turns them out he hath erected a principality in the Tower and made Laws of his own and executes them in a Martial way over all comers so that he hath great command and makes men know his power he was of the latter Parliaments is one of the Commissioners like the Bishops Panders in the Kings days for suppressing Truth in the Printing-Presses an oppression once the Army so greatly complained of is for Sanctuary gotten in to be a Member of Mr. Griffiths Church is also knighted after the new Order and the better to carry on the Protectors Interest among the ear-boar'd slavish Citizens is lately become an x Alderman so that he hath advanced his Interest and Revenue to purpose His Titles and Capacities emblazoned will sufficiently argue his worth and merits and speak him out fully to be a man of the times and every way deserving to be yet greater and Haman-like to be set higher All which considered it would seem a wrong not to have taken him out of the House and made him a Lord of the Other House with a Negative Voyce there as well as where he is the rather for that he knows so well how to exercise the same having used it so long a season as likewise that he may obstruct and hinder whoever shall question or desire Justice against him for his wicked doing 26. Colonel Ingoldsby a Gentleman of Buckinghamshire allyed to the Protector he betook himself to the Wars on the right side as it happened and in time became a Colonel a Gentlem●n of courage and valour but not very famous for any great exploits unless for beating the honest Inne-Keeper of Alisbury in White-hall for which the Protector committed him to the Tower but was soon released No great friend of the Sectaries so called or the cause of Freedom then fought for as several of his then and now Officers and Souldiers can witness and although it be well known and commonly reported That he can neither pray or preach yet complying so kindly with the new Court and being in his principles for Kingship as also a y Colonel of Horse and the Protectors Kinsman he may well be reckoned fit to be taken out of the House and made a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the good people of this Land the rather for that he as a Gentleman engaged and fought onely for money and honour and nothing else 27. Colonel Whaly formerly a Woollen-Draper or petty Merchant in London whose Shop being out of sorts and his Cash empty not having wherewithal to satisfie his Creditors he fled into Scotland for refuge till the Wars began then took on him to be a Souldier whereby he hath profited greatly was no great Zealot for the cause but happening on the right side he kept there and at length was made Commissary General of the Horse he was of these latter Parliaments and being so very useful and complying to promote the Protectors designes was made y Major General of two or three Counties he is for a King or Protector or what you will so it be liked at Court is with his little Brother Glyn grown a great man and very considerable and wiser as the Protector saith then Major-General Lambert who having with his fellow Lords Cleypole and Howard so excellent a spirit of Government over his Wife and Family being also a Member of z Thomas Goodwins Church no question need be made of his merit of being every way fit to be a Lord and to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people for that he never as he saith fought against any such thing as a Negative Voyce 28. Colonel Goff now Lord Goff that would be sometime Colonel Vaughans Brothers Prentice a Salter in London whose time being near or newly out betook himself to be a Souldier instead of setting up his Trade went out a Quarter-master of Foot and continued in the Wars till he forgot what he fought for in time became a Colonel and in the outward appearance very zealous and frequent in praying preaching and pressing for Righteousness and Freedom and highly esteemed in the Army on that account when honesty was in fashion yet having at the same time like his General an evil Tincture of that spirit that loved and sought after the favour and praise of Man more then that of God as by woful experience in both of them hath since appeared he could not further believe or persevere upon that account but by degrees fell off and this was he who with Colonel White brought Musquetteers and turned the honest Members left behind in the Little Parliament out of the House Complying thus kindly with the Protectors Designes and Interest was made a Major General of Hantshire and Sussex was of the late Parliament hath advanced his interest greatly and is in so great esteem and favour at Court as he is judged the onely fit man to have Major General Lamberts Place and Command as Major General of the Army and having so far advanced is in a fair way to the Protectorship hereafter if he be not served as Lambert was He being so very considerable a person and of such great worth there is no question of his deserts and fitness to be taken

helped to break it and then according to Rev. 11. 10 rejoyced and made merry with the rest of his brethren in Colonel Sydenhams Chamber c. as the Lawyers and other vild persons made Bonfires and drank Sack at the Temple and elsewhere but if ever a spirit of Life from God which is not far off comes in to raise up that honest Spirit by which some of them were acted will not he his brethren and the rest of that earthly rout the false Spirit of Magistracy and Ministry be tormented and afraid He was of the Parliaments since and no doubt of right principles to the Court interest wherein his own is bound up Is one that helps on the bondage in divers great d Committees where he sits and is therefore no question the more fit to be called Lord Roberts and to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people being so greatly experienced in that way already having continued in the aforesaid Committee so long 34.

Mr. Edmond Thomas a Gentleman of Wales of considerable means a Friend of Philip Joneses and allyed to Walter Strickland both of the Council and brought in upon their account and of complying principles no question to say no more of him not having been long in play being none of the great Zealots or high Sectaries so called in Wales may doubtless be counted wise and good enough to make a simple Lord of the Other House and to be called Lord Thomas and to have a Negative Voyce over all the good people in Wales with his Countrymen John and Philip and over all the people of these Lands besides 36. Sir Francis Russel Knight Baronet of the old Stamp a Gentleman of Cambridgeshire of a considerable Revenue in the beginning of the Wars was first for the King then for the Parliament and a Colonel of Foot under the Earl of Manchester a man like William Sedgwick high flown but not serious or substantial in his principles he continued in his Command till the new Model then took offence and fell off or laid aside by them no great Zealot for the cause therefore not judged honest serious or wise enough to be of the little Parliament yet was of these latter Paliaments Is also Chamberlain of Chester at about 500 l. per annum he marryed his eldest Daughter to Harry Cromwel second son of the Protector then Colonel of Horse now Lord Deputy so called of Ireland another to Colonel Reynolds a new Knight and General of the English Army in France under Cardinal Mazarine since with e Colonel White and others cast away coming from Mardike there is no question but his principles are for Kingship and the new Court being so greatly concern'd therein wherefore it were great pity if he should not also be taken out of the House to be a Lord of the Other House his Son-in-law being so great a Lord and have a Negative Voyce over Cambridgeshire and all the people of these Lands besides 37. Sir William Strickland Knight of the old Stamp a Gentleman of Yorkshire and brother to Walter Strickland was of the Parliament a long time but hath now it seems forgotten the cause of fighting with and cutting off the late Kings head and suppressing the Lords their House and Negative Voyce He was of these Latter Parliaments and of good compliance no question with the new Court and settling the Protector anew in all those things for which the King was cut off wherefore he is fit no doubt to be taken out of the House and made a Lord the rather for that his younger brother Walter is so great a Lord and by whom in all likelyhood he will be steer'd to use his Negative Voyce in the Other House over Yorkshire and the people of these Lands to the interest of the Court 38.

Mr. John Fiennes Son of the Lord Say and Brother to Commissioner Fiennes brought in it 's likely for one upon his score is in a kind such a one as they call a Sectary but no great stickler therefore not being redeemed from the fear and favour of man will it is probable follow his brother who is as it is thought much steer'd by old Subtilty his Father that lies in his Den as Thurloe by his Mr. St. Johns and will say No with the rest when any thing opposes the interest of the new Court their power and greatness and may therefore pass for one to be a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce

in the Other House over all in Oxfordshire the University men onely excepted and over all the people of these Lands besides 40. Sir John Hubbard Knight Baronet of the old Stamp a Gentleman of Norfolk of a considerable Estate part whereof came lately to him by the Death of a Kinsman he was of these latter Parliaments but not of the former had medled very little if at all in throwing down Kingship but hath stickled very much in helping to re-establish and build it up again and a great stickler among the late Kinglings who petitioned the Protector to be King his principles being so right for Kingship and Tyranny he is in great favour at Court as well as Dick Ingoldsby and no question deserves to be a Lord and to be taken out of the House to exercise a Negative Voyce in the Other House over all the good men in Norfolk and all the people of these Lands besides being become so very tame and gentle 41. Sir Thomas Honywood Knight of the old Stamp a Gentleman of Essex of a considerable Revenue he was a Committee-man in the time of the Long Parliament and also a Military man and led as Colonel a Regiment of Essex-men to the fight at Worcester came in good time and fought well against Kingship and Tyranny in the House of the Stewarts was of the last Parliament he is not so wise as Solomon or so substantial and thorough in his principles for Righteousness and Freedom as Job chap. 29. but rather soft in his spirit and too easie like a Nose of Wax to be turn'd on that side where the greatest strength is being therefore of so hopeful principles for the New Court interest and so likely to comply with their will and pleasure no doubt need be made of his fitness to be a Lord and to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over all the good men in Essex the now Lord of Warwick the Protectors Brother-in-law excepted and all the people of these Lands besides 42. Lord Ewre a Gentleman of Yorkshire not very bulky or imperious for a Lord he was once well esteemed of for honesty and therefore chosen to be one of the Little Parliament hath also been of all the Parliaments since the Yorkshire men happily may like his being new Lorded and that he should have a Negative Voyce over them the rather because they never chose him to any such thing the Protector being so well satisfied with his principles and easiness like his fellow-Lord Honywood to be wrought up to do whatever their will and pleasure is and to say No when they would have him it is very meet he also pass for one to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House not onely over Yorkshire but all the good people of the Commonwealth beside being a Lord of the old Stamp already 43.

Undertakings Hazards and Services for the Cause cannot well be numbred or set forth unless the drinking of King Charles's or as is so commonly spoken his Fathers Landlords health whose Abilities in Praying and Preaching and Love to the Sectaries being much like his Cousin Dick Ingoldsby's and he so very likely to be his Fathers Successour and to inherit his noble Vertues in being the light of the Eyes and breath of the Nostrils of the old Heathenish Popish Laws and Customs of the Nation especially among the Learned the University of Oxford have therefore thought fit he being also no very good Scholar to chuse him their Chancellour And though he was not judged meet not having a Spirit of Government for it to have a Command in the Army when there was fighting or honest and wise enough to be one of the little Parliament yet is he become a Colonel of Horse now fighting is over as also taken in to be one of the Protectors Council and one of the Other House and to have the First Negative Voyce over the good People of this Commonwealth being in so hopeful a way to have the great Negative Voyce over the whole after his Fathers Death 2. Commissioner Fiennes Son of the Lord Say a Member sometime of the Long Parliament and then a Colonel under the Earl of Essex had the command and keeping of Bristol but gave it up cowardly as it 's said for which he had like to have lost his head he being a lover of Kingship and Monarchy as well as his Father was taken in by the Protector at his first setting up to be one of his Council and made Commissioner of the great Seal as also Keeper of the Privy-Seal whereby his Interest and Revenue is raised from two or three hundred per annum to two or a three thousand and more And for his Merits and Greatness being after the old mode he was taken out of the late Parliament to be the Mouth of the Protector in that Other House and so is fit no question to have the second Negative Voyce over the good People of these Lands 3. Henry Lawrence a Gentleman of a Courtly Breed and a good Trencher Man who when the Bishops ruffled in their Pride and Tyranny went over to Holland afterwards came back and became a Member of the Long Parliament fell off at the beheading the late King and change of the Government for which the Protector then Lieutenant-General with great Zeal declared That a Neutral Spirit was more to be abhor'd then a Cavaleere Spirit and that such men as he were not fit to be used in such a day as that when God was cutting down Kingship root and branch yet came in play again upon design in the Little Parliament and contributed much to the dissolving of them as also setting up the Protector and settling the Instrument of Government and a single Person affirming That other foundation could no man lay For which worthy Services and as a Snare or Bait to win over or at least quiet the baptised people himself being under that Ordinance he was made and continued President of the Protectors Council where he hath signed many an Arbitrary and Illegal Warrant for the carrying of honest faithful men to Prisons and Exile without cause unless their not apostatizing with them from just and honest principles His Merits are great and many being every way thorough-paced and a great Adorer of Kingship so as he deserveth no doubt and is every way fit to be taken out of the Parliament to have the third place of Honour and Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people of these Lands 4.

out of the House to be a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House the rather for that he never in all his life as he saith fought against any such thing as a single person or a Negative Voyce but onely to put down Charles and set up Oliver and hath his end 29.

His rise was first in the Military way where he soon became a Colonel and by the Parliament made Lieutenant of the Tower of London and though he was a Colonel yet never went out to fight but became an Alderman very timely and then soon began to cool and lose his former Zeal and Principles and left off preaching as his Pastor Mr. Lockyer did the Church to his brother George Cockain He was afterward Sheriff and Lord Mayor in his turn was also of the Committees for the sale of States Lands whereby he advanced his Interest and Revenue considerably out of Zeal to the publick he offered the Parliament to serve them freely as a Commissioner of the Customs whereby he supplanted another and planted himself in his room and then with the rest of his brethren petitioned the Committee of the Navy for a Salary and had it notwithstanding he was so well rewarded for his pains after he had pretended to serve them for nothing yet with his bro her Col. Harvy and Captain Langham came off blewly in the end He was of the little Parliament and helped to dissolve it one of the late Parliament also he hath by degrees sadly lost his Principles and forgotten the Good Old Cause and espoused and taken up another being so very officious for the new Court-interest and such a stickler for them he is become a great Favorite it 's not hard to read his change it being in so great Letters All things considered he is no question fit to be called Lord Tichborn being also so willing to receive and resolve to own that Title whoever maligns it as also of the Judgement that whatever passes from him in any other name will be void in law wherefore to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over London and all the good people of these Lands is very suitable to him and what though he was so great an Opponent to those things formerly it 's no matter then was then and now is now 33. Sir William Roberts a Gentleman who in the time of the Bishops ruffling went into Holland and lived there for a season the Parliament ruling and in war with the King came over again and after the then mode found favour having upon the forementioned account been out of the Land and was made a great Committee-man and in much employment whereby he well advanced his interest and is grown a great man He was of the little Parliament and

him yet we cannot but weep for our selves we cannot but look after him crying Our Father our Father the Chariots of Israel and the Horsemen thereof c. Falsly and wickedly alluding to Moses and Elijah those two for ever to be honoured faithful Servants of the Lord with many other the like fawning blasphemous lying Expressions have they in those wicked Addresses wherein they lye and flatter for the Lord and his faithful Remnant know he was not so especially in his latter days but was rather acted by the back sliding spirit of Corah Dathan and Abiram as also the famous and renowned Princes of the Congregation yea the Congregation it self who rebelled against the Spirit of the Lord in Moses Caleb and Joshua c. and would not press on to Canaan the work of that day but said Let us make a i i N● Captain and return into Egypt and would have stoned Caleb and Joshua because they would have had them gone forward As also by the Spirit of Ahab Jehu and the rest of the back sliding wicked Kings of Israel and Judah The spirit of the Beast and false Prophet in the former and present Monarchs of this and other Nations which the Lord hath and will disown and curse but not the Spirit of Elijah Moses Caleb and Joshua the Lords faithful persevering ones of old as by what is before and afterwards mentioned doth too plainly and sadly appear for he not onely endeavoured to establish himself in this Tyranny but before his departure when he scarce had his sences or could hardly speak appointed as some report though some think otherwise his forementioned eldest son Richard to succeed him in the Government to support and maintain that Apostacy and Wickedness which himself and Thurlo c. had been the first Contrivers and then Actors of thereby to hold us perpetually under the old Monarchical Egyptian Bondage which was no sooner effected and he proclaimed but the aforementioned Addressors as they blasphemously and flatteringly speak in way of honouring his Father so in the same Adresses do they speak of him falsly and wickedly alluding to good Joshua Solomon and Elisha who succeeded Moses David and Elijah after their death saying to this purpose We humbly beg That though your renowned Father who as a designed instrument helpt us out of Egypt having Canaan in his Eye was even then called to Mount Nebo to dye there yet you as another Joshua with his spirit re-doubled upon you may by the efficacious conduct of the Captain of the Lords Host lead us into a more full possession of Truth and Righteousness c. In times of old when God took away Moses from his people in tender Mercy he gave them a Joshua to succeed him Such are our hopes of your Highness Gods aim and end in taking away his Moses was to usher you in his Joshua c. But since it was the Will of God our glorious Sun should set and that even whilst he was ascending we ought to submit unto it it is no little Alleviation to our sorrow that though our Sun be set no Night hath followed but our Evening hath been light by raising your Highness into your Royal Fathers Seat c. You are our great Master the person designed by God and Man to reign over us c. It begets no little joy in our spirits when we behold the Son of that Father by a divine Providence succeed him in the Throne by his own appointment given us as a most choyce Legacy and his last Blessing c. A Pledge of Divine Love and Goodness to these Nations c. Some saying if his Father had not appointed him to succeed him the common interest and peace of the Nation without Gods Assistance had perished together with him c. Happy successour in whom we shall be able to say Mercy and Truth are met together under whose Government Righteousness and Peace hath kissed each other of whose exceeding Vertues and Endowments we have had experience c. God hath been pleased in the midst of Judgment to remember Mercy in appointing your Highness to succeed your Father your most excellent serene Highness a branch of that princely stock on you our hopes rest Richard by the Grace of God Lord Protector your most serene Highness our Soveraign and General the noblest branch of that renowned stock and desire that he might build up unto perfection upon that wicked foundation which his Fathers blessed hand had laid And pray that the spirit of their departed Elijah even the Chariots and Horsemen of Israel might rest upon him c. And a great deal more of this blasphemous flattering stuff which would be too tedious to relate which Addresses The Humble Petition and Advice being so often mentioned and their desiring him to keep the Sword Military in his hand the design in them and strain of expressions so like to other begets a shrewd suspition they were rather hatch'd at the Court by Secretary Thurlo and the old malignant Pamphleter lying railing Rabshakeh and defamer of the Lords people Nedham alias Mercurius Pragmaticus who formerly writ for the King against the Parliament and by their Mercenary Emissaries and Agents suggested to and forced upon the simple people as the Addresses to his Father were formerly upon the Army and elsewhere rather then in their first motion naturally flowing from the Addressors which the Lord in due time will discover And not onely these but also that great Independent Doctor so called Thomas Goodwin he Aaron-like comes in as a Leader or one of the first among them to encourage the rejoycing and dancing about this new Golden Calf and in the speech that he made pretendedly in the name and by the appointment of the Pastors and Messengers of above 100 Congregational Churches from several parts of the Nation as says the Pamphlet says he We come with hearty acknowledgement of the best Liberties enjoyed under your Highness now blessed Father c. all which have been continued to us through the Protection of the great Mordecai that sought the Weal of his people and spake k k Was imprisoning the Lords people for their faithfulness to the Good Old Cause and leaving them there when he dyed a Mordecai's spirit and a speaking peace Well said Doctor peace to all his seed blessed be God for his unspeakable gift c. which we are here come jonyntly to acknowledge to your Highness c. We also come full of rejoycing blessing God for so happy and quiet a settlement of the Nation and Government in your person and succession Solomon though he had his name from peace yet was not his first entrance so peaceable as this of yours c. And after mentioning about what they met at the Savoy and that his Father knew of the meeting beforehand and approved of it and of a Declaration they had drawn up to clear themselves from the aspersions laid upon them and laying down therein what the

your Major Corn Yes Josh. What are they Corn A pretty number of them Then the Major began to answer to one but nothing to the purpose but before the Major had done your most serene Protector or Joshua unjustly takes part with the Major to help him out saying to the Cornet You Article against your Major because he is for me you are a n n Meaning the officers who often met to seek the Lord and bewail their Apostacy from the Good Old Cause company of Mutineers you deserve a hundred of you to be hanged and I will hang you and strip you as a man would strip an Eele you talk of preaching and praying men they are the men that go about to undermine me And clapping his hand upon Colonel Ingoldsby's shoulder said Go thy way Dick Ingoldsby thou canst neither preach nor pray but I will believe thee before I will believe twenty of them And says he to the Cornet You never owned my Father you have lost your Commission and shall never ride more in this Army c. and a great deal more to this purpose which I leave to Pragmaticus formerly the old now the new Court-Pamphleter more perfectly to relate Is this speaking or action the righteousness and peace kissing each other that you so speak hath been since he took the Government upon him Or would Joshua Solomon or Elisha thus take part with wickedness and wicked men and do so unrighteous and wicked an Action and speak thus profanely and wickedly Surely no VVherefore acknowledge your iniquity and lye low before the Lord for these your blasphemous lying flattering Expressions in your wicked Addresses whereby you have so reproached and wronged good Joshua Solomon and Elisha in making such undue Comparisons wherefore repent you flattering Courtiers Peter Sterry and ye other Court-Chaplains Repent repent Thomas Goodwin and ye Pastors and Messengers of as it 's said above an hundred Congregational Churches in England Repent you Apostate Army Repent you Mayor Aldermen Common Council and Militia of London whose Principles are so base and mercenary and like a Beast looking downward as to side with whether right or wrong whatever is uppermost like your Sword-Bearer and Officers who cry Grace grace and bow to one Lord Maior to day and do the same to the next the morrow Repent also you Presbyterian Classical Ministers of the City c. who by the perswasion of three or four eminent self-interested Cycophants among you were drawn in against your Light and Consciences to carry your bodies to White-hall leaving your hearty good will at home to address your selves to this new Golden Calf as an owning of him and this from unbelief and slavish fear of being frowned upon or losing your Parish places VVill such a practice as this stand good before the Lord in the day of your account Repent also all of you for your spending 50 or 60000 l. about a Heathenish Popish Funeral pomp not onely wicked in it self but at a time when so many tradesmen and others break and are ready to starve and when you had done then following an image of wax to Westminster as if it had been a dead mans body wherein you lyed unto and mocked both God and man Repent also you Country professors and others of these flattering blasphemous lying Addresses and speak nor do no more so wickedly lest the Judgements of the Lord break in upon you as upon back sliding Israel of old and your carcasses fall in the wilderness c. as theirs did for making and then dancing about the Moulten Calf and their desiring to make a Captain to return into Egypt and opposing the Spirit of the Lord in Moses Caleb and Joshua and his work in that day And take heed Oh you Parliament that you do not say or do as these have done whom I so call if you keep close to and endeavour the promotion of the Good Old Cause and cast out the false sp rit of the Egyptian Bond-woman the Protector so called and his Lords and make way for and bring in the Spirit of Zion the Freewoman the true spirit of Magistracy by Judges and Counsellours as at the beginning men fearing God and hating Covetousness and faithful with all the saints If you thus proceed my self and the Lords faithful people will love own live and dye with you if not we shall abhor and dis-own you as we did the former and now Protector and his Lords and shall trust God with our Liberties and not fear your Frowns And now a word for your encouragement my Friends who remain faithful to the Lord in this evil day and are as it were in the Clefts of the Rocks Cant. 2. 14. and secret places of the stairs in pain crying and praying night and day giving the Lord no rest Isai. 6 ● 6 7. till he revive the Good Old Cause

VVherefore be not dampt or discouraged in your spirits at the hearing and sight of the late Addresses nor at the great Cloud of VVitnesses therein seeming to own the present and former Governour What though many of them are men of such raised gifts and parts and appearing grace which to such as have not their eyes in their heads and look not within the vail may have an appearance the Lord doth own them and approves of what hath been formerly and lately done for though they are so great a Cloud of VVitnesses yet they are but VVitnesses in the Clouds whose Testimony Carnal Wisdom Policy and Arm of Flesh will pass away like the morning Cloud or early dew for the spirit of the Lord in his people like the waters Isa. 28. 17. hath overflown and looked into their hiding place abhor'd and blown upon them therefore follow not a multitude to do evil What though there be so many Prophets great Scholars learned Astrologers and wise men among them yet know that amongst almost 400 Prophets in the days of Ahab and Jehosaphat but one Micaiah a true prophet that had the mind of God among all the congregation that were going from Egypt
