General went so far West that he fell into the sea at Plimouth and rose again at Portsmouth the whilst Sir Wil. Waller went up a hil as high as Worcester and then came down again The Earl of Manchester came from York to Dunnington Castle with a great Army and there stood stil Sir Iohn Hotham was for the Parliament and after for the Privy Councel The Privy Councel and Parliament ought to fast and pray For they are the evil Stars the Scots do say Whose influence hath had an evil inclination To end few causes but for a prolongation Of controversy which is their trade and occupation Like Italy Spain France whence came the fashion France the continent of strife that vice hither came Transported by the Norman to be Island of the same And could a Norman bastard beget a righteous Law That were such a wonder as no man ever saw The Parliament have sworn to repent of that sin And if the Privy Councel would once begin It would be an acceptable and seasonable thing Not only to God of heaven but also unto men M. Peters wisht 10000 from New England to cause the Councel repent As 20000 from Scotland did make the Parliament And so frame the Law as plain as the Gospel According unto the Scots and Hollanders example Of best reformed Churches and leaven the whole earth That of righteousnes true holines there be no dearth Lex Angliae est ancilla Religionis pontificia Roma pietatis Antichristus Anglia justitiae Witness Philip the 2 of Spain vide Guiniardine And K.

Lycurgus the Lawyer was the Author of false tradition which doth contaminate the touchstone for purgation whereof the best reformed Churches do prescribe a potion of Calvins white wine the Law as plain as the Gospel which is according to their government For Brittain hath been taken by violence of Romans Saxons Danes after whom came the Normans who brought hither the French and Cavalier Law making it lawful to plunder men as fast as they grew rich kill them as fast as populous except they would s●eak French to be called Normans as Historians write 535 years after the Norman entred the Scot of the line of Cadwallade● the last Brittain King and proved it unlawful by the Law of Moses but Parliaments would still maintain the Law whereby it appeareth that the Roman Saxon Dane and Norman were the plunderers of all Brittain and the last the Norman made it lawful Since the Parliament 1643 it hapned that the Lord General was a Norman Sir William Waller a Roman for the Parliament The Earl of Newcastle a Saxon and the Lord Hastings a Dane for the Privy Councel Plunderers of Brittain by ancient generation and sworn to kill one another by Law which the Scots could not salva conscientia come to maintain ergo the Parliament swore to repent of their sins and govern according unto best reformed Churches to be no longer plunderers or ambidexters by making Prerogative above Parliament to kill up the Country and Parliament above Prerogative to kill up the City no man knowing Law but
