ARTICLES Presented against this PARLIAMENT OR THE PARLIAMENTS Hypocrisie discovered in VERSE and PROSE By TERRAE-FILIVS Being an ancient Lover of his Countrey Printed in the Yeer 1648. ARTICLES presented against this PARLIAMENT By Terra Filius T IS now high time for every honest man to stand up and looke about him We expected ease and freedome by this Parliament but behold we finde it not Taxes and Impositions lye still upon the People and shall this be suffered and I live I have written many pretty things in Verse since the beginning of this Parliament which the learned of each House approved But now Poetique Pen lye still awhile For I le in Prose the Parliament revile And tell the World in spight of Factions We are betray'd by their meane actions And now I have taken my whip into my hand I 'le spare no body Stand out Parliament and heare your charge First You are charged by me in the name of all the People of England that you falsely and perfidiously under the shew of giving thankes did accuse his sacred Majestie of being guilty of calling this present Parliament of his especiall grace and meere goodnesse wheras it was sufficiently and notoriously knowne unto you and all men that his sacred Majesty was from the first day of his reign till the first of this present Parliament a constant enemy to all Parliaments and had graciously endevoured the setling of Tyranny as well in this as the other two Kingdomes and to inslave the People as well for the honour of the Nation as their owne good But finding them not lesse willing to suffer then he was to oppresse and doubting upon good reason the Peoples rage who incessantly in all places private and publique cryed aloud for a Parliament not knowing what course to steere was contented to call this as a Sanctuary to which he might flye for preservation if the Irish Plot which was then hammering should take effect Secondly You are further charged that when the King had raised an Army graciously intouding the destruction of you and so of the whole People who had intrusted you with their Liberties Lives and Estates you disobediently and contrary to his Majesties expresse commands gave the honour of this Designe to his evill Councell as if his sacred Majestie could need a Broker or so little understood his Function as to want crafrinesse enough to contrive or courage to carry on any wickednesse nay you are so proud of your folly that you persist in it to this day and with so much madnesse as that should his gracious Mejestie please after the example of his dearest Father of blessed memory to bewray his breeches you had Vored this the act of his evill Councell and therefore declared them Papists and enemies to the State Thirdly You are further charged that you having suffered London to become a Garrison to those Rebels that assisted the King against you have notwithstanding laid severall Taxes and Impositions upon them by your severall Declarations commanding them to desert their said Garrison except they should within a reasonable time compound with the Clerke of the Committee at Goldsmiths-Hall for a Licence to stay in Town and continue the possession of their said Garrison Fourthly You are further charged That whereas divers honest men who either have lived constantly in London it then being your Garrison calling you Rebels and wishing destruction to you and your Armies or having borne Armes against you live under your protection and have since written and divulged many Pamphlets to your disgrace and have thereby contributed much to the carrying on of this new Warre have been at your extraordinary charge taken and committed to Prison and within halfe a day after discharged for not having enough abused you without any satisfaction made them for their Imprisonment or any incouragement given more then the favours and countenances of particular Members their private friends to proceed in so good and commendable a worke Fifthly You are further charged That contrary to the lavdable custome of this Parliament you have imprisoned and have endeavoured to bring to condigne punishment the two stout Champions of Tyranny Sir Iohn Stowell and Master Tavy Genkins notwithstanding that they have given you a brave disgrace at your Barre and had alwayes beene active instruments against you and had zealously endeavoured to inthrall the whole Nation in slavery and doe still continue constant to their first Principles hating you as over with a perfect hatred Whereas it hath been the custome of this Parliament to punish their friends onely that had done them best service and to reward their enemies with all possible favour Sixthly You are further charged That having admitted into your House as Members thereof severall Gentlemen that have served the King in his late Warres against the Parliament you have not endeavoured to punish divers ill affected persons who have informed you of these Delinquency and laboured to purge the House of them tending to the great weakning of the Royall Party to the preventing the wisht for successe of all his Majesties gracious Designes laid and carried on with so much blood and rapine and giving so just cause to all loyall Subjects the true lovers and honourers of gawdry and slavery to dispaire of ever seeing his Majestie as powerfull to doe mischiefe as Nero Caligula or Domitian the sacred and anointed Princes of the Roman Empire These are the Articles of your charge get off them as you can I assign you any day twixt this and this day seven nights for your Answer which if it be satisfactory must be now at length indifferently to administer justice to all men to bring Delinquents to condigne punishment according to your solemne League and Covenant to begin with the greatest for greatnesse certainly cannot justifie any man in doing wickedly nor secure him from punishment the soule that sinneth shall dye and so forward if once you will resolve to walke in this path in which onely you may finde safety God shall blesse you the Peoples hearts shall turne to you you shall destroy all those that rise up against you Foraigne and Domesticke Designes shall fall in peeces and be as water spilt upon the ●round I cannot end thus I must have a lash at your tails in Verse Poeta nascitur non fit YOu that have tasted Helicons faire water And honesty have wisely followed after Harken and read what I doe write in Verse I saw a Vision which I will rehearse 'T was in a Moonshiny night that I Lay tumbling in my bed I knew not why When loe behold oh what a sight was there A goodly person did to me appeare All clad in white was be no snow did ere More white upon a Mountaine top appeare A loose long garment hung down to his heele Oh! God what comfort did my soule then feele For on his shoulders two wings did I spye More bright then any Gold of Barbary By which I knew that God to me had sent His Angell to declare all his intent Then I lay still he thus at length began Feare not but heare thou more then happyman He that hath sent me hath declar'd his will To thee at severall times when he was still To all the world beside because he knew That thou art bold a faithfull man and true And wilt not hide his Counsell but declare To all the world how by their wit and care They might prevent his judgements now attend And carefully thine eare unto me lend When as the King not knowing what to doe Was forc'd to call this Parliament as you And all men know he did a Plot contrive It to destroy hut's owne Prerogative To raise more high then ere it was before That him as god his subjects should adore Many Designes he had and Plots were laid Which by the Plotters were est soon betrayd For so 't was orderd from above that none Should take effect but that unhappy one Irelands Massacre which though cruell 't was For good though unknown reasons came to passe The King then takes up Armes in order still To his old Plot to make his private will Above the Lawes thinking that if it might Perchance fall out to have the worst in fight He might returne unto the Parliament And be received although be nere repent Thinking and hoping that a time will come When for their follies he may pay them home The War 's begun his sacred Majestie That put them by the eares most graciously Beholds the fight with pleasure till on 's side The Foot began to run the Horse to ride The King flyes to the Scots by whose consent He come a prisoner to the Parliament They send him Propositions but he Will grant them none because they how the knee But this is not the course that they must take His Soule 's asleepe and they must it awake Let them be strong to Gods worke and stand Vp stoutly in it or the promist Land They nere shall see but by another way The Lord of hosts shall get himselfe the day Edward and Richard call'd the second both Are your examples minde them or your sloath Shall be rewarded for the blood that 's spilt If not the Kings must be the Houses guilt Now publish this and if they doe not mend And tread this path then tell them I intend To come againe and to thee I will shew How England shall be lightned of her foe And then he vanish'd I surveyed round The Chamber but he was not to be found Now in obedience unto his command I doe declare this unto all the Land From Dan even to Beersheba though thou be Of base or poore or else of high degree FINIS
