O the

them and all that they hold wicked and intollerable in a Common-wealth and conquer them as you please And in your dealing with them take your advantage at their severall and various opinions their controversies and dissentions among themselves make their divisions greater if you can possible but be sure to present them in a Multiplying-glasse to the People that the people may conclude there 's nothing but madnesse and confusion amongst them and be afraid to come neer them thus maugre their Innocency and uprightnesse your designes will be carried on the more smoothly against them through the people These my Instructions and such like chiefly relate unto your Predicatory practise wherefore I would have you according to your lawdible custome before you devote them to the Presse pare off such passages as too grosly betray your pollicy or may incite them to a just vindication of themselves and a discovery of your knavery as passages which only in speaking had their use the more to inculcate and the better to set on the matter but would not have been so gratefull in writing c. I speake not this to undervallue you for I know you are most expert thereat If you have any Designe against them conceal your purpose and face your intentions with some shew of lenity or tender respect over them be sure of substantiall pretences in the procurement of Lawes and Ordinances against them observe the temper and humour of the Parliament which way it runnes and be sure to comply therewith magnifie them as if they were so many Gods buzze into their ears things sutable to their natures and so you shall make them your owne incense them against those that oppose your Ambition and Covetousnesse as I know you can easily doe it and then they will Vote for you against them and an Ordinance will be quickly dispatch'd to enjoyne all men under the paine of a Fine Imprisonment without bayle or Mainprise and Banishment except MARTIN not to speake or write against the Directory to engage every one in the forfeiture of that abstaineth a moneth from his Parish-Church and the like such like Ordinances if you 'l be but wise you shall have at your pleasure and Brethren I doe not blame you of folly only as a Brother I advise you You must not respect what your Adversaries say against you you must be instant in season and out of season never leave undermining and suggesting with plausible specious pretences if one Project faile set upon another never give out till you obtaine your just desires your new intended High-Commission I know I miscall it but you must pardon my weakness lapsus linguae non est error mentis you can never long enjoy the inheritance of your Fathers without it What though your Adversaries say such Courts are unlawfull and destructive to their Liberties you must not regard what they say tell them these Whips of Scorpions the back-breaking heart-sinking Courts which are now broken downe and dissolved were unlawfull for the Bishops but not for the Presbyters that know how to use them you must be carefull that your Directory and all other your Ecclesiasticall Acts be with great sanctity and reverence ador'd amongst the People or else your esteem will goe downe and this cannot be done without some severe Lawes Ordinances and the like to that end which you must put the Parliament upon you know your Power and Influence upon them they 'l gratifie you with such toyes it may be the Sectaries will tell you that while they have hearkned unto you to deale evilly with them the Lord hath delivered their strength into the hands of the enemy While they were in debate how to suppresse the Anabaptists c. Exeer became a prey to the enemy Another time consulting upon your motion to send them out of the Land the Besiegers at Newark upon Trent were routed all their Armes taken c. And when you had over-powred the Parliament and had procured an Ordinance to be drawn up to suppresse them in the Armies and elsewhere the day before it was to be drawn up Newes came that his Excellency was wholly routed in the West bagge and baggage all their Armestaken and forced to composition for their lives And now being busied to satisfie your cry to fortify your Directory c. in the meane time Lecester is taken thousands put to the sword c. The Sectaries will tell you these are tokens of Gods wrath to forewarne them from hearkning longer to your delusions but doe not beleeve them what ever they say or can make out against you with unanswerable proof steel your hearts against them make to your selves faces of Brasse and out-brazen them in your Pulpits though they manifestly make it appeare that you have been the fomenters and are the proroguers of this Warre that you intend to enslave the Kingdome in greater bondage then the Bishops c. to confute them before your hearers and regaine and retaine your esteem cry to the LORD if wee have done this if there be such iniquity in our hands then let the enemy persecute our soule and take it let them tread downe our life upon the earth and lay our Honour in the dust c. and the people will beleeve you I need not tell you you know it by experience you can wipe off a thousand of these infamies with a wet eye you see I improve my witts for your advance above the State and People but doe not thinke evilly of me for my loving advise as some unhappy Varlets would make me beleeve who say that you are intended for a reserve to the City least their fatt Beefe and Mutton should putrifie in the Butchers Shambles I heare that you have more mind to eat then to fight and I partly beleeve it I would it were otherwise if you thinke it not yet convenient to restraine the wicked Anabaptists Brownists and Independants from spilling their blood and ruinating their families to helpe forward your Reformation be carefull to keep them from all places of Command as you did in the new moulding of your Army that so you may be able to crush them at your pleasure least according to your practice and Principles for the Preservation of Religion and Liberties as dear to them as to your selves they should having power in their hands scramble for a share amongst you Knit your browes against them thunder them in your Pulpits and especially when you are Victorious against the Kings party otherwise be somewhat silent as if you meant to suffer them to inherit in the Kingdom their native Birth-Rights with your selves keep them in suspence least they should be too soone wholly discouraged and so in your greatest need desert you as you know not what may come to passe Yet neverthelesse according to your usuall customes in Lords Knights Aldermen and Gentlemens houses you may privately sollicite against them declare them to
