And the liberty, peace, fafety [sic], & quiet-beeing, of that our nation, and other kingdomes thereunto belonging. By whom the people of other nations have beene also cheated and troubled.

evill for good this will bee next vnto a deaths-wound vnto the King and will make the hartes of all his most faithfull Friends and Subjects farre and neare to faint mourne and greeve when they heare of such things And the Rebbells doc knowe that there is no such way to disharten and dis-ingage the Kings friends and cause them to leave him and all his Fathers house in his greatest need neither is there any such way for to stirre vp God and Man to bee the Kings enemies then for to render evill for good vnto them who have vnfainedly served him and made them selves odious in the eyes of all the Kings profest and secraet enemies for God Conscience and his Majesties sake and the good of the Nation This caused King David to cry out in the eares of Saule his Master in these words 1. Sam. 24.12 the Lord Judge betweene mee and thee and the Lord avenge mee of thee No man need to thinke that the Rebbells will bee so foolish as to send any knowne or profest Rogue for to worke out their businesse in this kinde but they will make vse of some selfe-ended fellows who one time or other have pretended to serve the King and such who hath the arte to cut a mans purse at the same time when hee laffeth in his face or like Judas when they seeme to bee most zelous and have the bouldnesse and the Impudence to associate them selves with such as they certainly know to bee the Kings friends and by that meanes get what seacrets they can not onely to betray the Kings businesse but also their owne friend and brother to the presumptuous enemies And like vnto the ould proverbe this wickednesse proceedeth from the wicked 1. Sam. 24 15. and hacht by the Conspirators in England Though some-times acted abroad as well as at home The Lord therefore bee Judge 1. Chro. 12.33 and plead the cause betweene all those who are not of a dubble harte against those who are proud scornfull and false-harted towards those The Tribe of Zebalon whose harts and Indeavors have ever been for the glory of God the honour of the King and for the prosperity peace and safety of all obedient subjects in whose eyes a vile person is contemned espesially Traytors and notoroius Rebbells But honoureth them with his whole harte Psal 15.4 that feare the Lord. Wherefore bee pleased to consider how needfull a thing it is for all such as enjoy the Kings favour who subsist or get benefite by him that they carefully take heed to resist and avoyd the stratagems of those who secreatly endeavour to provoke them to bee a terror and a burden vnto those who ever-more have indeavored the honour of the King by whom they subsist as also longed for their happy and prosperous returne into their Native country 2. Sam. 22.28 And remember that the eyes of the Lord are vpon the hauftie to bring them downe and who will save the afflicted people My hart is not haufty nor mine eyes lauftie saith David in the Psal 131. vers 1. Bee sure that all who are bent vpon mischiefe will seeke to crosse others in any thing that is good scornefull men bring a Citie into a snare but wise men turne away wrath The blood-thirsty hate the vpright but the Just seekes his soule Forget not this master-peece of the Rebbells pollicy that they will vse all meanes possible to get the Rulor Proverb 29.8.10.12 and such as are in favour and trust to harken to Lies then they will declare and publish that all his servants are wicked Such are they who to day will seeme to power out their soules before you and hugge you as their bosom-friend and to morow will deride you and lauffe you to scorne Thinke it not strange that I mention such things vnto you seeing to my sorow I have met with such my selfe Now let the wisdome of the Reador be this to avoyde and advise his friend to stand cleare in time and shunne such as cause divisions offences Rom. 16.17 contrary to the doctrine that good men teach bee sure that you follow not the evill example of those that revyle the Gods Exod. 22.28 and who scorne and curse the Rulor of the people But such as know or vnderstand the wickednesse of Rebbells and yet faune and conceale it that is almost as bad as the former Act. 23.4 for if notorious Tyrants who are knowne to the world to be but Vsurpors at the best shall dare to take vpon them to murder men for what they pretend have been concealed as intended against them though it bee every mans duty for to bend his minde and indeavor to discover what hee can of the Intentions proceedings of such Opressors as the Traitors which now beare Rule in England are who are nothing a shamed all this while of being Gods and their Countries enemies A wise man scaleth the Citie of the mighty and casteth downe the strength of the confidence therof Proud and haufty scornor Prov. 21.22.24 is his name who dealeth in proud wrath Therefore blessed is the man that walketh not in the Councel of the vngodly nor standeth in the way of sinners nor sitteth in the seat of the scornfull but his delight is in the Law of the Lord. The lauftie and proud lookes of men shall bee humbled and the hauftinesse of men shall be bowed downe Jsa 2.11.12 And every one that is lifted vp shall be brought low One would thinke that this were sufficient for every one that remembers his latter end or considers that he hath a soule to save Deut. 32.29 that it is now high time to shunne and abhorre those who have defiled them selves by treason and the blood of Innocence and yet bouldly stands out in defiance of all those whome they have most offended to wit the Lord of Heaven the King and Country of England and other Nations belonging there-vnto besides Neighbour Nations who also were our friends even as now they are And that the Conspirators have aproved them selves to be past shame doth apeare by the odatious bouldnesse of John Milton in his answer vnto the booke of the Learned Salmasius which doth consist of presumptions scornings Lies and revilings and doth as it were declare that hee had forgotten that there is a Righteous God in Heaven For the sayd Milton doth show in that booke that there is no more feare of God left in him in that he hath despised and controdicted the Worde of the Lord for it is sayd I Councell thee to keepe the Kings Commandement and that in Regard of the oath of God Bee not hasty to goe out of his sight stand not in an evill thing for hee doth what soever pleaseth him Where the worde of a King is there is Power Eccles 8.2.3 and who may say vnto him what doest thou vnlesse it bee such gracelesse Rebbells Pro. 20.2 who will neither obay God

And the Right of the needy doe they not judge Shall I not visit for these things saith the Lord Shall not my soule bee avenged of such a nation a this A wonderfull and horrible things Vers 30. is committed in the Land the Prophets profesy falsely Izra 10.3 and the Priests be are rule by their meanes my people loue to have it so To wit Crumwel and his Army who lives vpon the ruyne of others Izra tooke speciall notise of the Counsell of those that trembled at Gods Commandement And the Propet Isaiah bid them Heare the word of the Lord Isai 66.5 that trembled at his word And in the 2. verse of the 60. of Isaiah God saith But to this man will I looke euen to him that is poore and of a contrite Spirit and trembleth at my word Which I hope your Majesty and all your good People of France will doe and not like Crumwell and his Company who haue seduced and deluded many of the people of England and caused them to forsake the Lord God of their Fathers 2. Chron 28.6 As for himselfe and the rest of his Leadors who are Arch-Rebells it seemes they are the sons of Beliall 1. Sam. 2.12 or like the sons of Ely who know not the Lord. Wherefore I counsell your Majesty to take heed in time least they lay stumbling blocks in your way Numb 31.16 as Balaam the Sorceror was vnto Israëll Balaam taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the Children of Israëll to doe that which offended God Revel 2.14 for which they were punished Therefore Remember O King and people of France and all others high and low at home and abroad whose hope is in the God of trueth and that doe tremble at his word Remember what Balack King of Moab consulted and what Balaam answeared Micah 6.5 that you may Remember the Righteousnesse of the Lord. Consider seriously the mallitious councell of Ahi●●phell to Abselom to an vngratious Son against so good and so Godly a Father as King David was who contrived a difference so foule even past hope of reconcilement purposed to make the King out of measure odious vnto all his people 2 Sam. 16.21 by defiling his Fathers Concubines in the sight of the Son that all might see it with an intent to make David to abhorre Abselom and that all Israëll might deride David beyond all possibillity or hope of any agreement So have the Rebbells of England sought by all meanes possible to make the people abhorre their Gratious King and Queene and such others as were faithfull in the Land and more Noble and Righteous then any of the sayd Rebbells How that they devised wicked devises not only to smite with the tongue the King and the Queen but also the Lords of Canterberry Strafford Caple and many others who had done no wrong to King nor people Jerem. 18.18 but their duty onely to which they were inioyned by the Law of the Land Then sayd they Com let vssmite him with the tongue and let vs not give heed to any of his words I had almost forgot the behaviour of that Generation of Separats towards the Duke of Buckingham and his mother with Doctor Lambe I am loath to foule so much paper and trouble the Reador with so many Lyes as they devised and devoulged for many yeares together both within and without the Kingdom of England purposly to make all people to abhore them because it pleased God to give the Duke favour in the eyes of both the late Kings of England In so much that I my selfe hearing daily the extreame slaunders which was contrived and broached against them by these foule-mouthed and shamlesse people was almost perswaded that It was true that was reported of them and I I was so farre deluded that I thought that whosoever should destroy them would doe God and the Country good servis But afterwards I came to vnderstand that it was nothing else but the mallice of such who had seduced many young and other people vnto divers sects or newe and strange Religeons by the helpe of whom Crumwell and his Consorts hath murthered many who were blamelesse and harmlesse of severall degrees of people both by Sea and Land who were without rebuke Phil. 2.15 in the middest of a perverst generation who did shine as lights in the Land and after that the Duke and Lambe were tyrannically murdered by lude fellows with wicked hands without any forme of Judgement Act. 2.23 Next they fell vpon the Bishop of Canterberry with intollerable back-bitings and Revileings saying First That he did intend to make the Land Popish Secondly That he could not preach himhelse Thirdly That he persecuted Godly Ministers because it was his office to punish such as stird vp the people to rebellion Fourthly That the Pope had sent him a Miter from Roome which the Conspirators it seems had made them selves pretended they found it in a shippe at the Custom-house at London so reporting it that there was an agreement betweene the Pope and him that he should Raine as Pope in England Fiftly when they caused him without any Law or Justice to be apprehended in the time of the second Parlement as they called it that they might collor theyr owne mallicious designes against him they pretended that he did indeavour to make his eskape vnto that end hee had a suit of Freez brought him that thereby hee might the better eskape without any notice being taken of him Sixtly that the sayd Lord Bishop of Canterberry did accuse the Lord of Strafford who was also a prisonner and whom also they did intend to murder that the sayd Earle of Strafford Lord Liftenant of Ireland was the cause of drawing the sayd Bishoppe into his troubles And that the sayd Earle should say That the Bishop was the cause of his troubles And that one or both of them should curse the day that ever they knew one another and that in reveyling tearms they should accuse one the other as it was reported by the Conspirators or their Adhearence These notorious slanders they have not bene a shamed for to bring or to let come in print for to make those innocent persons exceeding odious to all people to the end that few or none should question the cause or the Reason of theyr taking away theyr lives But theyr designe was onely to murder them because they were faithfull to God the King and the Country each in his severall places whereunto they were lawfully called Being both men of exellent Learning Levit. 19.15 and Wisedom courageous not fearing the persons of the mighty They were men fearing God and scorning Bribes I observed that one of the greatest causes of the inveterate mallice of his enemies against him Exed 18.21.22 next vnto his being an enemy vnto rebellion was that hee would not suffer the meanor so●e of people to bee opprest by the mighty and which were vnder his

what soever wee pleased Isa 36.18.14 and where is the Lord that shall hinder vs And who are the Gods of all these Nations that have delivered their Lands theyr Goods 1. Sam. 22.23 and theyr Shipps from being taken and spoiled by vs Or theyr men from the edge of our sword Wherefore consider this O King and Nation of France and all other good people both hygh and low at home and abroad in whome is eyther courage councell for warrer or the feare of the Lord least that curse come vpon you which came vpon Meroz by the Angell of the Lord Judg. 5.23 not for any act that Meroz had donne but because the inhahitants of that city did not come forth to the helpe of the Lord against the mighty This was a double a bitter curse because the Righteous God doe count him selfe to be slited when men doe forbeare or withould their helpe from the distressed in time of neede when Oppressors are powerfully bent to mischiefe who make no difference betweene Right and wrong Remember what is sayd of such as steale or joyne with theefs Where God saith vnto the wicked what hast thou to doe Psal 50. vers 16.17 18.19 to take my name in thy mouth seeing thou hatest Instructions and casteth my words behind thee when thou sawest a theef thou consentest with him thou givest thy mouth to evill and thy tongue frameth deceite From hence we may see God will not owne those who consent or joyne with theefes And a worse forte of theefes cannot bee then the Rebbells of England because no honest man is ever the better by joyning with such but allways the worse Remember the Inhabitants of Seachem And because God is silent and seemes to take no notice Judges 9.4.5.6.44.45 therefore they thinke that all is well Supposing God to bee like them selves who sayth Now consider this yethat forget God Least I teare you in peeces Vers 21.22 and there bee none to deliver So that you may see that it is more dangerous in regard of the Judgements of God vpon such or as doth hange over the heads or attend vpon such as this evill generation is then the Infamy of the world can bee by farre in regarde of men SIR That which may the more and the rather stirre vp the spirit of your Majesty and your good people against the sayd Rebbells in England Is this First Because in former time in the like case the Kings of England have divers times beene helped or Releeved with Shipping Men 2. Chron. 36 z 2. and Mony from France when the Relation betweene the Kings of France and of England was not so neare as now it is Ezra 1.1 Secondly they that destroy with persecution and murder your best friends will also take occasion to doe the like by your Majesty as soone as they have prepared them helpers like vnto them selves in your Kingdom Thirdly because it is sayd that the Innocent shall stirre vp him selfe against the hypocrite What credite can it bee for your Majesty Job 17.8 or any other that loves Equity to have correspondence in the least with the throne of iniquity that frameth mischiefe by a Law Psal 94.10 Who gather them selves togeather against the soules of the Righteous Psal 94.20.21 and condemne the Innocent bloud Fourthly that which makes my hart even tremble within mee is that these Sonnes of Lucefer have so contrived theyr villonous plots as to cause your Majesty the King of England to fight one against the other as I greatly feare they will bring to passe or that some one or other of his Fathers house at the feare thereof I am greatly troubled I have just cause likewise to thinke that they are also the cause of the continuation of the difference so long betweene your Majesty and your owne Vnkle the King of Spaine by which meanes the Godly and Just indeavours of the Pope and others towards that needefull worke are from time to time blasted and frustrated even of the sayd Pope and many others who are more Just in theyr Demands and more Innocent in theyr Actions then the best of them to wit the Rebbels of England because the feare of God is with them but the sayd Rebbells have fully and longe since many ways approved them selves to be at the least some of those who God is sayd to abhore and to hate which cannot cleare them selves of the gilt of none of these six things which God is said to hate in the 6. of the Proverbs of Salomon Neyther can they ever cleare them selves of the seaventh which is an abomination to the Lord. To wit proud Lookes Lying tonges hands that shed Innocent bloud an hart that deviseth wicked Imaginations feet that bee swift in running to mischiefe a false witnesse that spaketh Lyes And him that soweth discord amongst brethren or emnety betwixt deare friends And who so neare like to the divell as the Robbels of England who hasten them selves to doe all such things Psal 5.6 The Lord will abhirre the bloudy and deceatfull man David is against them that flatter with their tounges neyther is it easy to prove that such are better then Traittors Psal 35. vers 19.20 That same Holy King spake and prayed against such as hated him selfe without a cause who spake not for peace but devised deceatfull matters against them that weare quiet in the Land Two very good Kings were blamed 2. Sam. 19. vers 5.6 the one by the chiefest Generall of his owne Army that he hated his friends and loved his enemies Now it is most certaine that such as doe so doe shame the faces and weaken the hands and sorely greeve the harts of all theyr best friends and most faithfull servants as appeares by Naball 1. Sam. 25.10 the Carmollite Naball rayled at them which had showne kindenesse to him and his And marke how his honest servants behaved them selves in this case Vers 14. who by their relation of David and his Mens behaviour towards them in the field who weare a wall vnto them night and day together with the haste and wisdome of Abygaile theyr Mistres prevented the destruction of all the houshould of Naball Vers 16.17.18 and of all that belonged vnto him For the prevention there of David praysed and blessed the Lord God of Israell and blessed the advise of shee that appeased his Anger which kept him from shedding of bloud and from avenging himselfe with his owne hand Had not Abygaill wisely hasted to meet David who with terms of humillity apeased his anger Vers 31.33.34 there had not one beene left alive that pissed against the wall The second vnto whom the Seer Jehuw the son of Hannania said vnto that good King Jehosophat shouldest thou helpe the vngodly and love or joyne with them that hate the Lord 2.

Pet. 3.15 16. if the vvill of God be so that ye suffer for vvel-doeing then for evill-doeing It doth exceedingly concerne all Righteous Princes to follow the Example of David King of Israël both in respect of theyr ovvne vvalking vvith God before vvhom they stand as is specefied in the 101. Psalme 1. Kings 18.15 the three first verses It vvould bee exceeding pleasing vnto the King of Kings Gen. 14.19.20 vvho is the most High God Therefore it is convenient for Kings to bee circumspect in all theyr thoughts vvords and actions Ephes 5.15 See then that you walke circumspectly Redeeming the time because the dayes are evill Vers 16. By this meanes God will make you able to quensh and resist all the fiery darts of the wicked Fphes 6.6 to the end It is needfull that all Righteous Princes doe often consider the Example and Resolution of one of the best Kings that ever was in the worlde not onely to Read but vvarily and seriously consider how exactly David resolved concerning those who should serve him or not come in his sight Psal 101. included in the five last verses The carefull practise of this will cause you and all Righteous Princes to finde favour with God and all good men vvhich vvill bee a meanes to make Spyes or men vvho have evill Intentions of them selves or sent by others shortly more and more to absent them selves from the presents of all such Princes Otherwise it vvill bee hard to vvithstand theyr odarious bouldnesse vvho are now adayes growne more shamelesse then those were in the time of Ahashueros the King For though Hamons Wife and all his Friends were so wicked as to advise him at his Complaint tolet a Gallows be set up to hang Mordicai fifty Cubits high yet vvith all they wished himselfe to speak vnto the King for his consent by which it seems they were not so Impudent as to send swarms of Rascallity of theyr owne adherence 1. To the House of Commons 2. vnto the House of Peares as the Rebbels of England did by threatnings to force them to passe a Bill against the Life of the Lord Liftenant of Yreland 3. who presently after pressed into the Kings owne House by force against his will by shamelesse importunity got his Majesty to Signe the same against Lavv Custome or Equity for the taking away of the Life of so Noble a Person to wit the Earle of Strafford to the great griefe of the King himselfe and against his vvill This vvas in the yeare 1641. to the sorrow of many of the Nation Much-lesse did Hamon Esther 5.14 or any of his Party presume or intende to take away the Life of Mordica 2. Kings 2.32 or any of the Iewes vvithout the consent of that King as the fayd Rebbels did after that by the Lord Arch-Bishoppe of Canterberry the Lord Caple the Earle of Darby SIR Charles Lucas and many others of our Nation 2. Sam. 3.39 who were more Righteous and better then themselves Wherefore I pray as sometimes King David did the Lord reward the doers of such evill according to their wickednesse because thereby our present King is weake though a Righteous annoynted King because the Vsurpers of England are as yet too mighty for him meerely by Reason of the differences between other Princes procured or continued by the Contention sowen or occasioned by Crumwell and some of his party As may partly apeare by that innocent bloud which was shed in Portingall who were the occasion that nation Revolted from the King of Spaine as was mentioned by the Portingall Ambassador vnto them selves in England not many yeares since whereof I have beene credeably informed For though the Rebbellion in England was not then in its full strength and Rigour yet there was a resolution thereof in many of the Conspirators longe before as by the helpe and the providence of the Lord shall more fully hereafter appeare Therefore in the behalfe of God Allmighty who some times taketh the wicked in their craftynesse 1. Cor. 3.19 For the Wisedom of this world is foolishnesse with God For it is written he taketh the wise in their owne craftinesse I doe humbly Intreat your Majesty the Nobillety and Godly Cleargy and all the good people of France as all other Righteous Princes Republicks States and Citys at home and abroad That they would bee pleased seariously to consider the sad condition of our present King and of all his Fathers house Psal 11.3 For if the foundations bee destroyed what can the Righteous doe And therfore I vse parte of the words of Mordica vnto Esther the Queene Namely 2. Pet. 2.2 If you doe the will of the Vsinpers afore said and let them goe on in these their pernisious wayes Thinke not with your selves that you or your good people Esther 4.14 shall scape free or speede better then those of our owne and so many other Nations hath done already to wit England Scotland Ierland Portingall the Vnited Provinces of the Netherlands and Spaine All these can witnesse by experience what kinde of Apostels or Saints these Conspirators of England are Neither doth it stand with their condition or safty to leave off this theyr trade as longe as they live for feare least theyr owne doggs or Adherance should plucke the pray out of their teeth and breake theyr jaws in peeces It will bee the wisedome of all them which are not satisfied to search out the trueth of all this like as Jobe in the like case Job 29.17 vers 16.17 saith of himselfe Because I delivered the poore that cryed and the Fatherlesse and him that had none to helpe him the cause that I knew not I scarced out therfore the blessing of him that was

It was lawfull for such Servants of God as came lawfully vnto Authority as Moses Josua Jehosaphat and more such as were Righteous Numb 16.32.33 But it was not lawfull for Corah Dathan nor Abiarm neyther for Abimelech nor Achitophell nor Sheba nor for Iudas nor for Crumwell Iudg. 9.18 or his Companinos for such to conspire against them 2. Sam. 20.1 whom the Lord hath set over them If there were any just pretence to be made for such a Rebbellion as that of England never any had more cause then Ioseph in Egypt Gen. 39.19 20. who was opprest though an Innocent Person And David against Saull for whom hee ventured his Life many times yet Saull sought Davids life which was to requite evill for good yet David never offert to rebell against te King 2. Sam. 24.10.11 though his mortall enemy God gave him severall times into his hand yet David spared Saull himselfe and killed him not vers 17.18 19. and hee did also restrayne others that would have killed him as Saull himselfe confesseth And David sayd vnto Abishai Destroy him not 1. Sam. 26.9 for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lords Annoynted and bee guiltlesse Obadia who was Servant vnto a badde King who destroyed the Prophets of the Lord and did much evill yet Obadia never offert to rebell against his Master but did good to the Prophets of the Lord privately 1 King 18. No more would Crumwell nor his Companions vers 3.4.5.6.7.8 if the feare of God had been in them as it was in Obadiah I could name Daniell and many others who were opprest yet Innocent men chose rather to suffer then to sti●●e up Rebbellion in the Kingdome Also much may be sayd of Symon Magus Act. 13.8.10 Elymas and Alexander the Copper-Smith but Crumwell and his Companions exceeds them all Therfore I say of them 2. Tim. 2. who are full of all subtilty it seemes to mee almost like children of the Devill 4.14.15 of whom I advise the Reador to be aware in time for Reasons knowen to mee which I reserve God willing vntill my next following I have Reason to thinke that none but the Devill can match Crumwell or some of his Associates who delight in Treason falsehood and murther so well as himselfe I suppose there is a hard Game betwixt the Devill and some of them and I beleeve for the first part they will put the Devill hard to it Ezek. 33.11 I wish they would bethinke themselves presently turne from theyr evill way lest the Devill foyle some of them at the last I cannot forbeare but to touch once more vpon those foure shamelesse Ringleadors to wit Prinne Bastwik Burthon and Iohn Lilborne who like Firebrands of Hell as well as seducing Spirits encouraged stirred vp many of the People of England to Rebellion mingled with Blasphemy slaunder and the spilling of much Nobel other Innocent Blood Who though they were favoured long and saved from being Hanged which by the Law of the Land they deserved yet the sayd Rebbels by theyr Adherants and themselves have malitiously and continually dispersed among all such Protestants vpon whom they have beene able to fasten theyr Lyes farre and neere within and without England Namely They have falsly reported that these vnworthy Fellowes before mentioned were honest godly men Also these Sophisters have filled the world with theyr clamerous Lyes who pretend theyr punishment was ten times more then it was And it is mentioned in holy Scripture that whosoever will not doe or obey the Law of God and the Law of the King let judgement bee executed speedely vpon him whether it bee vnto death or to bannishment or to confiscation of goods Mart. 9.25 26. or to inprisonment as it is in Esra Chap. 7. vers 26. Therefore rebuke and drijve these Lying and foule spirits from you And take notice of the place apointed for such Revel 21.8 and Chap. 19.20 for the false Prophets namely the Lake that burnes with fire and brimstone And for the Beast and the false Prophet that wrought miracles before him which deceaved them that hath receaved the marke of the Beast These are apoynted for the same place and so are all those who loveth and maketh Lyes Revel 22.15 Therefore that the good Spirit of God and my hart may bee vnited and knit vnto you and I hope you will not blame mee for this my advise seeing there is no wrong in my hands against any honest man Gen. 49.6 1.

besides many of the Rebbels owne adhearance And therefore no wonder though the guilt of the Rebbels make themselves afrayd who have caused so much innocent blood to bee spilled by Sea and Land besides murthering of the Lords Annoynted others whom vnder God the Peace and the Welfare of the Land dependeth And this is the cause they vsed so many devices policyes and continuall importunities not onely to deceave many other Nations especially Protestants with whom they prevaile little or much to joyn with them in theyr most abhominable Conspiracy Neither will they ever cease to provoke so many others as possible they can for to enter into Combination with them because they are continually in so much feare of the Gallowes as ever were any knowne Theefes in this world Therefore though they bee repulsed and rejected againe and againe yet like the Devill with shamelesse faces will still present themselves for the procurement of theyr owne ends as it is in the first of Iob vers 9.10.11 and in the second of Iob vers 3.4.5.6.7 And severall times in the fourth of Matheuw verses 3.4.5.6.7.8.9 Therefore all you High and Low who intend to keep your peace with the Lord our God delay no to breake off Peace with the wicked Rebbels therefore I say vnto you Numb 16. verses 2.26.27.31.32.33.34.49 c. as Moses sayd vnto the people of Israëll I pray depart and separate your selves from these wicked men least the good Spirit of God depart from you NOTA. You shall finde in the same Chapter that more then three times as many thousands perished in that Rebellion as there were hundreds of them when they first began like as you may reade vers 2. and 49. in the 16. of the Booke of Numbers 1. Sam. 16.15 And though they will showe themselves as bolde and blasphemous as Rabshakeh as it is in the second of the Kings Chap. 18. vers 27.28.29 but especiall compare the Rebbells of England with Rabshakeh in the 30. vers of the same Chapter and minde their impudence as was Rabshakehs vers 31. Wherefore say vnto them as Christ sayd vnto the Devill get thee hence Mat. 4.10 Sathan for it is written Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God Therefore you may see though the Devill was rejected divers times by our Saviour yet hee was so shamelesse as to renewe his temptations againe even so is the practise of the Rebbells of England whose temptations are of no lesse force then the Devills were but you must answeare them as Jehu answeared Joram namely Wat hast thou to doe with peace 2. Kings 9. vers 22. so long as the whoredomes of thy Mother Jesabell and her witchcrafts are so many That is you must call to minde the fruites or the evill actions committed by the sayde Conspirators throw them in theyr owne faces as occasion shall bee presented by them-selves Or you must stirre vp your selves Gen. 15.11 and dryve them from you as Abraham drove those devouring fowles from the carkasis of his Sacrafice Now be pleased O King of France and all other Princes States Potentates Majestrates and Marchants and all others whosoever consider foresee and minde your owne honour safety in time for you will finde many times that the Lives and Estates as well as the Honour of good and harmlesse men 2. Kings are many times destroyed lost because they have to doe with evill men Chap. 10. as you may see by the 42. men which were slayne by Jehu onely for that they were going to visit the childeren of Ahab Vers 14. Neyther was any one of them spared or left alive And whereas the Rebbels with whom you are or may bee intangled and by them drawne into dishonourable and ungodly dissignes and when afterward they shall see that vpon more serious consideration you begin to scorne and shake them of then will they pretend Artikles of Agreement which themselves or some others for them have by suttell policy obtayned from you by pretences which beares a doubble meaning Vnto which I answeare against these Sophisters Esther 3.8.9.11.12.13 verses that though by the greedinesse pride bloody mindednesse of Hamon Ahasuerus the King was prevayld withall to give consent to destroy the Iewes and to take all their goods yet vpon better deliberation and information hee did not onely revoke the Decree Esther 7. vers 9.10 but caused him to bee hanged for his impudence by whom hee was drawen therevnto and that after the writtings were signed sealed Ester 8. vers 10.11 and sent away Note heere how th● King commaunded by Letters that for the wicked devise devised by Haman against the Iewes should returne vpon his owne head Ester 9.25 and that hee to wit Hamon and his 10. Sonnes should bee hanged on the gallowes And if the Rebbells of England who hath approved themselves farre worsse then Hamon were served so it would be a piece of Service acceptabel vnto God and Man and right honourable vnto the Authors of it By which the Reador and all men may see and take notice that it is farre more pleasing vnto the Lord to breake of Agreements with such as practise nothing but mischiefe then it can bee to continue in a wicked League with such as the Rebbells of England are I pray you all High Low at home and abroad Psal 26. vers 4.5.6 to consider the Resolution and Example of David I have not sayd hee sat with vayne persons neyther will I goe in with dissemblers I have hated the Congregation of evill doers and I will not sit with the wicked I will wasch my hands in innosency and so will I compasse thyne Altaer O Lord. Which no man can doe High no Lowe Rich nor Poore so long as his hand is with such children of wickednesse as are the Rebbells of England Who sayth further gather not my soule with sinners nor my life with bloody men in whose hands is mischiefe Vers 19. and the right hand is full of Brybes I am afrayd of a perpetuall desolation upon England because the pryde and impudence of the Rebbells who hath reproached cheated dishoured and spoyld the Nation as well men of ordinary quality as the more considerabell they have also magnifyed them-selves against the Lord and his people and this Assembly of Sycophants now in England doe Vsurp a rigorous Authority and they doe insult over the meanor sorte of men as well as over the more eminent who cause divers to groane from out of the Citty the soule of the wounded cryeth out Job 24.12 yet God layeth not folly to them neyther can any in all the world more presumptuously take vpon them to collumniate censure condemne all Catholikes especially the Pope and the Iesuwytes so that besides variotye of slaunders the Rebbells not onely themselves but all or most of theyr Creatours doe constantly pretend the Pope to bee the sonne of perdition 1.
