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

fire in burning and laying waste their strongest Holds next by the sword in cutting off the chiefest of their Covenanters and lastly by famine in reducing those poor captive Souldiers that were taken after Dumbar fight to such an exegent Dunhar fight Anno 1656. Sep. 3. that above three thousand of them were at Durham starved to death and those who survived were by hunger torced to feed upon the dead bodies of their Countreymen to preserve their own lives And therefore what Martial saith of the Lyon which is the Arms of Scotland I may fitly apply to these treacherous Scots Laeserat ingrato l●● persidus ere Magistrum Ausus tarn not as contaminare manus Sed dignas tante persoluit crimine poenas Et qui non tulerat verb●●a tela tulit A treacherous Lyon hurt his Keeper late Daring those well known hands to violate But for his foul offence he paid full dear Instead of stripes he felt a killing spear Thus you see that God will not suffer any Traytors or Regecides to go unpunished as may further appear by that one remarkable example of Hatto late Bishop of Mentz in Germany who having betrayed his neer Kinsman Allebert Count Palatine of Franconia to whom he had sworn allegiance into the Emperors hands God soon after suffered this Traytor as you may finde in the Chronological Collections of Petreius to be carried away by Devils and to be thrown into a burning pit in Mount Gebel a voyce in the mean time being heard to cry on t in the ayr Sic peccaudo lues sicque ruendo rues Thus art thou worthily punished for thy wicked deeds So heinous are the sins of Treason and Perjury and so just is the Almighty in the severity of his punishments for them that he suffers none who are guilty of such horrid deeds either early or late to escape unpunished And fince I am speaking of these treacherous Scots give me leave to give you a short account of the Life The Marquess of Argsle Actions and End of that ingrateful and perfidious Traytor to his King and Countrey the late Marquess of Argyle whose dealings with his Kindred Friends and Confederates ought to be a warning to all Protestants how they trust such an Apostate Covenanter whose ambition and avarice did ruine the King and Church together with three flourishing Kingdoms and in the conclusion himself His Father having married a second Wife and turned Catholick this his Son obtains by his Majessies favour the possession of his whole estate allowing him a small pension to live upon after whose death he outed his brother of his estate at Kyntire and afterwards cheated his Sisters of 12000 l. given them by the last Will and Testament of their Mother in Law forcing them all for want of maintenance to hazard the loss of their souls by forsaking that Religion they were ever nursed up in and to cloyster themseves up in Nunneries beyond the seas Having thus taken a view of his Religious carriage towards his Parents Friends and Allies let us next observe his deportment towards his Soveraign and how he kept the Solemn League and Covenant with his Brethren in England It cannot be denied but His Majestie did confer many great and Princely favours upon him at his Father in Law the Earl of Mortons desire making him Lord of Lorn with the additional honor and title of Marquess and a full pension well paid him ever fince together with not onely an act of Oblivion but approbation of all his tyranni at proceedings against the Athel men the Earl of Aireley and others But his first endeavour in requiral of all these and many more Royal favours undeservedly heaped upon him was his ent●ing into a conspiracy with his Co●n Lawers and the Ea●l of Lothian who married his Neece and was once heard to say That the three Kingdoms would never have peace so long as King Cha●ls his head was on his shoulders to banish Antrim and the Macdonalds out of Ireland for which he had a great gift and three R●gi●● h●s sent him from the Parliament of England Next he projected to joy● counsel with Say Pierpoint Cromwel and others of the Independant Juncto against the Presbyte●ians doing them that Master-piece of good service first under colour of loyalty and friendship to prevail with his Majestie to return to the Scots Army then at Newark Cromwel subtilly contributing a pass to his Maiesties g●ides with a slack guard that he might the more freely escape Secondly after many loyal speeches for Monarchy the Kingdom of Scotlands interest in the person of the King and many publique and private vows and protestations not to abandon his Majestie without his own consent Contrary to all which he and his Confederates corrupted the loyalty of that once famous Gentleman Lieutenant General David Lesley who had deeply sworn and engaged himself to his Majestie to convey him safely into Scotland or to see him peaceably settled in his Throne in England sorcing him and he prevailing with the Souldiers to abandon his Majestie and leaving him behind now little better then an assured prisoner and the whole power of the sword i● the hands of his bloody enemies the Independants and Sectaries to the ruine and overthrow of the Covenant and the Presbyterian cause in the City and Parliament Which design of his having taken the desired effect he presently by letters encourages the Independant party to proceed in their dethroning votes and accusarion of his Majestie assuring them that no party in Scotland should be able to hinder their proceedings Whereupon they imm-diately imprisoned the King and next erected a High Court of Justice to take away his life and afterwards publiquely murthered him Thus you see Argyle having overthrown all Laws tyrannized over the lives liberties and estates of his Countrey men and contrary to his duty and and allegiance conspired to extirpate all Monatchial Government by betraying his natural Prince into the hands of his enemies and opposing all ways of peace to prevent his Majesties deliverance and the settlement of his Kingdoms Now thinking himself secure in his villanies and having likewise by treachery gotten the person of the Marquess of Montross into his hands whose onely fault was loyalty to his Prince he caused him to be brought with as much ignominy as possibly he could desire to Edinburgh and afterwards to be barbarously murthered just at such time as his Majestie that now is was coming into Scotland even as it were in despite to his Soveraign But God having at length most miraculously restored his Sacred Majestie Charls the second to the Royal Throne of his blessed Father did also put it into his heart to avenge himself upon this underminer of Princes insomuch as this arch Rebel was suddenly seized upon then committed close Prisoner to the Tower in which place he remained till such time as he could be shipped away in order to his tryal at Edinburgh in Scotland where he was legally convicted of

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

that ingenious writer of the History of Independency Mr. Clmenst Walker he was permitted to be informer witness and judge against him himself But finding his defigne at that time fall short of his expectation he caused him privately in the night to be soon after seized upon in his bed by a Guard of Souldiers and conveyed far off from the City to a close Prison where being debarred the use of either pen ink or Paper or the liberty of any Friend to visit him after six years strick confinement Death put a period to this poor old Gentlemans sufferings Philip King of Spain Lord of the Seventeen Belgick Provinces sent Duke D' Alva thither another Cromwel in his cruelties with a powerful Army who taking advantage of some new commotions there erected a new Tribonal Criminal or High Court of Justice called by the multitude Concilium Sanguinis or the bloody Conventicle consisting of twelve Persons of mean extraction to whom were given full power to inquire into judge examine and determine all causes whatsoever and to dispose of the lives and estates of every such person they as thought fit to destroy at their wills and pleasures Which Counsel or inquisition did supersed all other Courts of Judicature and made void all Laws constitutions Iurisdictions and priviledges of that Nation by making every thing they pleased High Treason Corbet taking advantage of this President perswades Haslerigg to move the Parliament to put it in execution here in England which was accordingly done and they finding him a fit Agent for such a damnable enterprise Ordred him by an Act passed in the House to be cheif Interpreter to this their State Puppet-play commonly called the close Committee of Examinations erected to purge the House of such Loyal Members as stood disaffected with their proceedings And the first experiment he made of this his Tyranical Power was upon the aforesaid Mr. Walker Mr. Baynton Mr. Recorder Glyn Commissary General Copely and several others of the House of Commons who without any legal tryal hearing or witnesses produced beside himself who supplyed the office of a Judge Prosecutor Jury and evidence against them they were immediately expelled the House of Commons and soon after together with the Earles of Suffolke Lincoln Middlesex the Lord Berkley Willioughly Hunsdon and Maynyard impeached by him of high Treason in the names of the Commons of England for leavying a War against the King and Parliament Wherein this Blood-hound Corbet who of an Examiner was now become an Advocate General moved for judgement to be pronounced against them like the greedy Horse-leech Nec missura cutem nisi plena cruoris hirudo Still thirsting after blood but never satisfied For which bold act and diligent service though it succeeded not he was afterwards recompenced with a Rich Office of Regester in the Chancery a place estimated at One thousand six hundred pound per annum and next made one of the Judges for the Circuit in Ireland valued at five hundred pounds more per annum where he condemned many persons to the Gallowes whose crimes far less deserved it then his own Nor was he less troublesome to the Church then he had formerly been to the State For finding Vespatians Motto Bonus odor lucri ex re qualibet that wealth was sweet how ill soever got he obtained another office from his bountiful Masters at Westminster worth at least One thousand five hundred pound more per annum viz. to be Chair-man for scandalous Ministers The Preisis Tormentor or Master Examiner of all such Clergy men as were either already Beneficed or to be admitted to any Benefice throughout the Nation In which place he so well played his Cards that such of the Kings friends as were before settled in their livings were forced to compound with him for their continuance and others who came to him for admittance if he could not object any thing against their answers to such impertinent questions as he usally propounded to them his next artifice was to render them the new Engagement to be obedient to Oliver and maintain the Good Old Cause against all Kingly power or House of Lords in so much as not one of such as were Learned Loyal or Orthodox Divines could ever gain his consent to any living nor indeed any other though of his own Tribe and Faction without giving him a considerable gratuity to the full value of their first years fruits at the least for a Bribe A perfect Symonaick one that was able to devour a whole Church at a Break-fast and swallow down St. Peters Patrimony after it instead of a Mornings-draught Alwaies feeding yet never filled like Erisict hons bowels in Ovid Quodque urbibus esse Quedque satis poter at populo non sufficit uni What populous Cities might alone Suffice is not enough for one This was the man who so much applauded Coronet Ioyce for surprizing the Kings person at Holdenby house when he was by Cromwel sent to him with Orders to bring his Majesty the same night with all speed and secrecy to the Army boasting the next day that since the Army had gotten the Cavalier Idol for so he stiled his Soveraign into their power they would soon put the Parliament and all their Enemies into their pockets An insolent slave whofe Crimes transcending all hopes of Pardon made him as violent in the prosecution of his Hellish machinations as he was desperate of Heavens mercy in the for giveness of his fins But I will not cast any more Ink upon this Aethiopians face since I find it impossible whether I reflect upon his crimes or his countenance to represent either of them to the view of the world blacker or more horrid than really they are He is now rewarded for his Treason so as to speak more against him were but to wage War with the Dead which Italian severity is as much averse to my nature as it is contrary to the Principles of Christianity Therefore no quid gravius dicam whether I look upon his actions or his end I shall be no more invective against him John BarkRead ROom for this Jack of all
