Wherein the most secret and chamber-abominations of the two last kings are discovered, divine justice in King Charles his overthrow vindicated, and the Parliaments proceedings against him clearly justified, by Sir Edward Peyton, knight and baronet, a diligent observer of those times.

fourth of France being informed of this congratulation and conceiving it to be a step to unite England and Scotland in one Government Elizabeth waxing old sent a Letter of incouragement to King James to joyn with him in revenge of his Mothers death who replied as the true Copy expressed that he would not fall at difference with Elizabeth since he was now more secure in his Throne then in his Mothers time intimating he was not sorry for her amovall for her life might have procured his ruine Elizabeth after fourty yeers Reign was moved by her privy Council to settle King Iames for successor who said she would not erect a Monument in her life for a follower to expect her end She was a Lady adorned with Majesty Learning Languages Wisdom and Piety yet fearful of death for she hated any word tended to it as shall be manifest by Roger Lord North when carving one Day at Dinner the Queen asked what that covered dish was he lifting up the cover replied Madam it is a Coffin a word moved the Queen to anger And are you such a fool said she to give a Pie such a name This gave warning to the Courtiers not to use any word mentioned her death But this prudent Prince died after fourty four yeers compleat and king James was proclaimed about the last of March 1602. king of England by his privy Council assisted by the Lord Mayor of London Sir Robert Lee. In May after he entered met with many Nobles and Gentlemen the Sheriffs attending him in every County from Berwick so that there was a general applause and Royal entertainment at his entrance into the Charter-house in London yet ominously attended with a great Plague of three thousand dying in a week in the City This Union gave a grand expectation of tranquillity to both kingdoms To effect this better he called a Parliament lasted seven yeers and raised many Subsidies with great sums left by his Predecessor which vast treasure was all bestowed on the needy Scots who like Horse-leeches sucked the Exchequer dry so that Honour and Offices were set to sale to fill the Scots purses and empty the kingdoms treasure This caused a by-word That the Exchequer reached from London to Edinburgh This was not sufficient to gorge their insatiable requests but many Monopolies likewise were erected my self after reporting thirty two Patents to the Parliament in decimo octavo Iacobi The Queen deprived of the nightly Company of a husband turned her delight to the Prince whom she respected above her other children finding him too serious diverted him from so much intensiveness to an amorous gesture in which the English Court took great pride To that purpose she initiated him in the Court of Cupid as one night she shut him under lock and key in a chamber with a beautiful young Lady now dead which shewed her love to the sport indeed morelikea Bawd than a discreet Mother who is bound to season her children in vertue while young that they may hold the taste in age whose example in vertue or vice might draw a world to follow the pattern But after Prince Henry fell mortally sick of a supposed Fever but not without suspition of poyson A Prince whom all Europe expected to be the promoter of some great and famous action because his inclination was bent to the Martial art above his yeers and also excelled in matters of State both in discourse and choice of ablest company which he much delighted in for advice and counsel This ripeness in judgement and dexterity in Souldiery to form Models of any sort of Battels stirred up king Iames to suspect the Prince might depose him especially knowing he was not begot of his body This caused the Lord Saintcleare then Ambassadour in Denmark not to be ashamed to challenge Prince Henry to be his own son to English and Scots there arrived so that by some Pill or other the Prince came to his end This was plainly shewed when he was cut up to be imbalmed his brain was Liver-hued and putrefied an argument of poison as was affirmed by a most learned Physician Butler of Cambridge Now king Iames more addicted to love males then females though for complement he visited Queen Anne yet never lodged with her a night for many yeers Whereupon Gundamore observing how king Iames was addicted told him that the Lady Hatton would not suffer the Lord Cook her husband to come into her fore-door nor he himself to come into her back-door Hatton and Ely houses joyning together where they dwelt she denying him a passage backward to take air Now that the fruit of Mortality might declare humane frailty Queen Anne who had trod so many stately footings in masks of Court Beauty fading strength faling and youth metamorphosed to yeers health to sickness being haunted with a lingering sickness which contracted her end For Doctor Upton at his death not long afore the Queen's declared a Skeleton being in her womb proves she was with childe and that Physick had destroyed it and so the Skeleton remained which was laboured to be purged away but all in vain rotted in her Of this Docter there was a jealousie of revealing it for which his passage was made to another world as his tongue to me at his death uttered who married my neer kinswoman The Queen departed the King sold his affections to Sir George Villiers whom he would tumble and kiss as a Mistress This favourite had erected many Monopolies who finding Parliaments hindered his profit caused his Master to dissolve those Patents and break up the Parliament of decimo octavo raising a number of Privy Seals which were borrowed and never paid And to adde to the iniquity of the times divers Incests were then pardoned insomuch as two Gentlemen who married two sisters one after another got License at Newmarket not to be molested in the High-Commission But above all a godly Minister in Lincolnshire was barbarously murthered by one Cartwright whom King Iames pardoned The reason of this murther was for rebuking him of swearing drunkenness and whoring At this time were many pious Divines silenced by the Bishops who inhibited preaching in the afternoon divers Exercises in several Towns commanded downe an occasion bred much prophaness in England king lames allowing dancing about May-poles and so winked at breaking the Sabbath a vice God curseth everywhere in Scripture What shall I say more All impiety was incouraged in such a sort that lawful Mariages were divorced or nullified as namely the Countess of Essex from the Earl of Essex late General for the Parliament alledging the Lord had a defect and was not able to perform the act of generation although the contrary was after proved to make a gap for Somerset's adultery by a Nullity which Bishop Bilson devised a nick-name being given for this to his son who was rewarded with Knighthood and therefore stiled by the people Sir Nullity Bilson This Bishop maintained Christs personal descention into hell an

Parliament of so many horrible murthers and adulteries oppressions fearfull and abominable wickedness as I have raveled out the peeces to winde up this bottome in some special points but have omitted many this Enchiridion is to able not containe which when God shall inable me and the State injoyne I shall willingly undergo I observe likewise by his Father that this Conquerour is a male of that great Crumwell the sole contriver of the dissolution of the Abbies under Cardinal Woolsey those adulterous Seminaries of lust gluttony and idleness that I saw with mine owne eyes when I went to school at Bury fifty four yeares since from a well brought up thousands of Childrens bones which were murthered and cast in it that the inchastity of of the Nuns and Fryers might not be found out And although Crumwell Earl of Essex by the malice of the Popish Clergy was contrived to die yet he was a Lord of transcendent parts and a scourge to ruine those pestilent Abbies as if God would requite and revenge his death by giving such an honour to his name and family in after-ages to raise up a Crumwel to be Gods instrument to destroy such a wicked stock which nourished such irreligious houses whose hands were imbrued so often in blood And that amongst the three Generals God raised up this last with a mind and body sutable to finish an absolute Conquest over the Royalty a work in which the heavens Gods creatures appointed him to be a principall Coadjutor under this present Parliamentary power God dispensing so much sufficiency of wisdome piety and prowess out of the treasury of nature for an accomplishment pointing with the finger to every one Oliver Crumwell as a prodigy to perform what the great Creator resolved to bring to pass in this Stuarticall Catastrophe for which he is equal with Alexander the great leaving him to shine as a Star placed by God amongst all the military Forces of Europe under the Parliament and the supreme authority of the Commonwealth to be a glorious Sun and a Prometheus for to bring in a heavenly light for all Europe to behold more clearly Gods will and determination which will be more sensibly and visibly known after the next years great Eclipse to inlighten not onely the Cavaliers but also Europe what Gods purpose is to act in future ages in which course it is behoovefull for every Christian to observe that he may manage his affaires accordingly to the glory of God and his owne safety For so infallible is the will of God to take revenge of injuries done not observing the presence of times when they were committed but transferrring occasions from one season to another he calleth the sinners into reckoning when they have least memory of them therefore God hath appointed this thrice honorable Parliament the instruments to punish all those Delinquents who have raised this storme against the Commonwealth to bring them on their knees to Petition for a composition for their estates personall and reall and others to forfeit their estates for their insupportable malignancy who now begin to behold that peace is better then war quietness then rebellion and subjection then opposition for it is not sufficient that the supreme authority of Nation do their duty but as in the nourishing of the body though the head be well disposed yet it is also necessary all the members do their office in obeying the supream authorities just Command with all possible diligence so shall they be by the States indulgence united who were divided and injoy the same priviledges with us and we all may sit under our vines and glorifie the God of heaven who will bless and prosper us To conclude I humbly beseech the supreame authority of England assembled in Parliament to pardon my age if I have not so punctually set them down in order as I desired being shortned by time and wanting a faithfull able Transcriber to write cut this Remonstrance as I could wish my intentions are onely to manifest Gods determination in abasing greatness which will not stoop to the Government of our Saviour Jesus Christ the second person in the Trinity to whom God hath given all power in this sublunary world for the good of his elect To which I add a gentle admonition to all Princes of Europe to give over tyranny and submit to the power of the Redeemer and Saviour who hath sacrificed his life to save wicked sinners and so prevent a showre of Gods vengence impending which is ready to dissolve and pour downe upon their heads O Ye Princes of Europe that persecute inferiours by Tyranny and oppression look on the works of God since the creation and you shall see plainely the great Creator will dismount your glory and pride usurped over others yea a power to hinder the Government of Christ that the Kingdome of the Gentiles is stopped in the election of the Saints by adhering to the great Whore of Babylon and her Superstition who takes upon her the Authority of the Son of God and hinders the conversion of souls turne your eyes back and see as in a glass what great alteration God hath brought to pass since he made the world The first great Change was in Enoch's time when men were licentious God turned the stream and they began to fear him The second was in the floud when Noah had preached to the old world above an hundred yeares and they would not be warned God sent a generall Deluge and destroyed all but eight persons The third was an odd number in the miraculous deliverance of his Church the Israelites out of Egypt The fourth was in Salmanassers time when the Jewes cryed to God in their banishment and were reduced to Jerusalem from Captivity The fifth was more worthy admiration in sending a Saviour to save sinners The sixth was in Charlemain 's time when Monarchy began to spread and surround the earth to a potency by priding it over the People But loe this last is Sabbattical and gives a rest and quietness to all your pride and ambition FINIS
