Gent. Lex non est justior ulla Quam necis Artifices arte perire sua LONDON Printed by H. B. for Phil. Stephens the younger at the sign of the Kings Armes over against the Middle Temple in Fleet-street 1662. THE TRAYTORS Perspective-Glass WHosoever shall peruse either Sacred or Prophane Histories will soon find how just God is in his Judgments toward such as have rebelled against their natural Soveraignes or conspired their Deaths Zimri when he found his opportunity flew his Master Elah the servants of King Ammon their own Prince Phocas his Emperor Mauritius Artabanus Captain of the Guard killed his own King and Master Xerxes Brutus and Cassius murthered Julius Caesar Thessalus poysoned Alexander But the end of all these was lamentable for Heavens Divine Vengeance at last pursued each of them close at the heels and not one of them but perished miserably nay so crying a sin is murther that God usually inflicts upon the murtherer a punishment answerable to the crime committed According to the Law of Retaliation or that Divine Rule He that sheddeth mans blood shall have his blood shed by man Qui struit insidias aliis sibi damna dat ipse Who doth for others dig a pit Oft times himself falls into it Thus it fared with the Egyptians who having drowned all the male-children of the Israelites were themselves drowned in the Red-sea And the children of Israel when they took Adonibezek cut off his thumbs and his great toes Iudg. 1.6 7. whereupon he said Threescore and ten Kings having their thumbs and their great toes cut off gathered their meat under my table and now as I have done so God hath requited me So when Perillus had made his brazen Bull to torment others Phalaris thought it just that himself who made it should first taste of his own invention and he burned alive in it Lex non est justior ulla Quam necis artifices arte perire sua And when Egypt wanted the usual inundation of Nilus Thracius having told Busyr●s that the weath of the gods would be appeased by the sacrificing a strangers blood the King knowing him to be an Alien thought it the justest act to offer him up first unto the gods Illi Busyris fies Iovis hostia primus Inquit Aegyptotu dabis hospes aquam Since thou a stranger art Busyris crys We first will thee to the gods sacrifice So we read that those Lords who first called the Moors into Spain to destroy their King Roderick were themselves and their families destroyed by the means of those Moors and the Britains that rejected their just and lawful King Aurelius Ambrosius and sent for the Saxons to aid them against him were not long after driven by the Saxons into the Rocky Mountains where they remain exiled from their own right to this day But if we cast our eyes either upon those that were the instruments of our late bloody wars or such as were guilty of shedding the precious blood of that blessed Martyr Charls the first we shall find such a series of Gods iust judgement against his enemies as no History of any times or any Kingdom besides our own can parallel the like Gods judgements against the Scots I Will first begin with the Scots in general for they were the first Pomentors and Ringleaders of the late Rebellion by raifing not onely an Army against thei● natural Prince but by encouraging our Nation to the like and afterwards in betraying their Soveraign to a Jewish faction of bloody Independants and Anabaptists who thirsted after his life For when the good King upon their deep but perfidious engagements thought he might be safe with those his own Native Subjects he resolved to go unto them and thereupon disguising himself with a very great hazard of his own person he adventured to pass through all difficulties and to commit himself into the hands of those men who very fai●ly but fasly made merchandize of his Majestie and sold him to his enemies at a far deerer rate then the Traytor Iudas sold the Saviour of the world and the King of Kings unto the Jews And no such wonder neither for Iudas was but an Ass to Lesley who had been a Pedlar or Merchant as Pedlars are termed in that Countrey before he became Commander of an Army and therefore he knew how to sell his ware better then the other though his sin in one respect was far worse for Iudas repented of his treachery and brought back the thirty pieces he had received and cast it down with a penitent confession of his fault But we finde not that either Lesley or any other of these Scotish Merchants did repent their treacheries con●ess their faults or return one peny of the price they received for their King back again But never was any Nation more justly dealt withal for their perj●ries towards their Soveraign then those perfidious Scots who having watted against their King Covenanted with and sold him to the Parliament God was pleased to make the same Parliament that invited them to these their impieties to become the instruments of their punishment and that dear Brother of theirs Oliver Cromwel who not long before made speeches in their commendation and gratulory orations for that blessed union betwixt these two Nations at length proved the chiefest Agent another Attalus called flagellum Dei whom the Lord used for the execution of his Fury upon these perjured people First by
High-Treason and justly executed as he justly deserved it Gods judgements against the Irish Rebels Nor did it happen otherwise with the Irish then with the beforementioned Scotish Rebels who having palpably forged several pretended Commissions under his late Majesties Great-Seal and thereby raised an Army first impudently slandred Gods anointed then openly rebelled against him and afterward fell to butchering of his loyal Subjects women with childe young infants aged Matrons old Fathers and all others of what age sex or condition soever Insomuch that their barbarous inhumanity far exceeded all the cruelties of Phalaris Busyris Dionysius and the rest of those Heathen Tyrants or bloody persecutors of the primitive Christians whose bloody slaughters were but merciful punishments compared with their Tragick acts so as they who felt them could hardly believe such infernal destruction could be invented much less executed by any humane Creatures upon earth But exitus acta probat Mark what is now become of all these Irish Traytors were not the chiefest instruments of that Rebellion Mac-Mahoon Mac-Quire and mac-Mahoon most miraculously seized upon and notwithstanding their strange escape ou● of the Tower how strangely did Gods judgements find them out causing one of their servants to be the principal occasion of their discovery for which they were shortly after brought to condign puuishment and condemned to be hang'd drawn and quartered at Tyburn which was accordingly executed As for the rest of them together with their wives and children were they not either killed banished or enslaved and such as remained alive requited by Cromwel with the like inhumanity after the storming of Drogedah where above three thousand of them were in cool blood massacred by the lemnian hands of that unmerciful Tyrant Next for that long Parliament here in England The English Rebellion in the long Parliament which first raised up a Rebellious Army against their King and at last a High Court of Justice to take away his life Did not God stir up their own General Oliver Cromwel a Philistine amongst these Philistines and a grand Rebel amongst these Rebels who finding his opportunity wisely broke in pieces this Brazen Engin and with a Hero-like courage dissolved that knot and scattered those grand Proditors of their King and Countrey as the Lord dispersed the Jews that were the murderers of his Son and their own King over all the parts of this Kingdom The whole mass of that long Parliament who thought to remain as Kings for ever being scattered like chaff with the wind from the face of the earth and now made ludibrium opprobriumque vulgi the mock-game and laughter of this Nation But I must now descend from generals to particulars and shew you the just judgement of God upon the dismembred parts of this great body and their adherents as I finde them worthy of observation I will therefore begin with him Earl of Essex who was the beginner of our troubles the first disturber of our peace and the General of that late unhappy War the Earl of Essex with whom though the character given by Plutarch of Dionysius King of Sicily may well agree that he was a Tyrant begotten of Tyrants as the other was a Traytor begot of a Traytor yet I cannot but say of him that he was pius inimicus a noble Adversary to the King who confirmed the restauration of him to those Lands and Honors which were taken from him by Queen Elizabeth for the Treason of his Father and the late King made him one of his privy Council and Chamberlain of his Houshold which for honor is one of the best Offices at Court and worth 2000 l. per annum and conferred many other favours upon him yet for no other cause as is conceived then ambition of popular praise or as others think for a secret grudge he bore to his Majestie for giving way to his Ladies being divorced from him he undertook when all others refused it the Conduct of a Rebellious Army against him for which act God never suffered him after to prosper in his attempts witness his first fight at Edge-hil where he was routed and forced to hide his head in the day of Battel and the next day dishonorably to retreat to Warwick Castle and afterwards in Cornwal he was compelled shamefully to abandon his whole Army and glad to fly away by Sea to London For which disasters the Parliament who so solemnly swore before to live and dye with him do now vote a dispensation of that Oath and not without some disgrace disrobing him of his Excellency and another General is chosen in his room At length to prevent any mutiny or discontent that might happen in him or the Army by means of this affront put upon so noble and popular a person it is generally reported by all that see him dye that they applied more violent physick then either the quality of his disease or constitution of his body would admit of in giving him a Spanish fig or some Aconites that wrought so strongly upon him that it soon brought his head into the grave his body so soon as he was dead being covered over with turfs of green earth to prevent the swelling of the poyson that was in him Thus was he rewarded for his good services to the Parliament and ill offices against his King God in justice suffering the same people that magnified him to destroy him Sr. John Hotham his Son The next persons I shall instance in are Sir Iohn Hotham and his Son with him whom I shall put together because both were guilty of the same crime of disloyalty to their King and equally tasted of the same sauce and suffered the like punishment This man was the first who so insolently durst presume to enter into Hull his Majesties own proper Town and there to seize upon the Kings Magazine and when his Majestie came in person and requested admission into the same he very undutifully to say no worse with much scorn and contempt refused to let him in But how God approved of these their unjust doings you may guess by the subsequent punishment which both the Father and his Son have since undergone for they having first most disloyally plaid their parts in the House of Commons against the King and next more egregiously by seizing upon Hull these false Traytors greedy of a reward promised by some of the Kings friends resolved within a short while after to play the like game with the Parliament and to comply with his Majestie by redelivering up the Town and Magazine to his use but their plot being discovered and their persons cunningly secured in their hands they wrought upon the Son in hopes to get pardon for himself to accuse and betray his Father and then with the like subtilty and for the like hope they brought the Father to accuse his Son So both by mutual treachery being found guilty and condemned had both their heads severed from their bodies in one day
