FAIR VVARNING OR THE Burnt Child Dreads the Fire To the True Hearted Nobility the Loyal Gentry and Commonalty of this poor distracted and divided Kingdom of England c. Great Sirs I Protest that I have no design or desire to revive you or your Predecessors Misfortunes or to involve you in new ones but only to caution y●u That you split not on the same Rock again which our fore-Fathers had the ill hap to do for if we should the whole World may laugh at us for our weakness I confess it is a melancholy thing to reflect upon Crimes but not always so upon Loss●s since we may be necessi●ated to embrace the last out of a Conscience to evade the first It was a sad Omen to this Kingdom to have the Sun Eclipsed that very hour the first Long Parliament began Novemb. 3. 1640. and though it was not visible here yet the Eff●cts were not clouded from our Eyes for no Age was ever blest with a more Pious Prince or any that ever brought forth more crooked Natures to perplex a Righteous Soul it was his good Nature and easie Cond●scentions that gave their dark Practices confidence to app●ar in the light whose yielding Clemency thinking like the Sun by attracting Vapours to disperse them they with the help of a Northern Fog condens'd into a Cloud that first darkned then rained Blood all over the Land and what Number or Power was not able to overthrow Treachery or Bribery did on a suddain ruin Now in the close of Miseries behold an Action detestable beyond expr●ssion a Misfortune which heightned with accumalated Injuries deserves to be looked on with a compassionate Eye and a bleeding Heart Is it not a most sorrowful Object to see a King set forth to Sale to behold Majesty become Merchandize and Soveraignty sold for Silver to see a Prince weighed in a Treacherous and Perfidious Ballance made to turn which way Coin should move the Beam to deliver him up for the same cause Aristides was Bani●h'd Iustus quia Iustus and at leng●h to Cruc●fie him between two Thieves which two at this day do too much predominate in their Secret Cabals and open Attempts witness the present most damnable Plot of the Papist at this time which I pray God discover manifestly to their eternal shame also the great hopes their Brethren the Presbyterians and other Sectaries have of carrying on their Designs the more secretly under the covert and colour of this Hellish Plot. That they have great hopes to overthrow the Government of Church and State once more is legible by the bold Speeches and Threats every where nay in the late Election in Essex they took the Impudence to tell the Loyal Gentry there they would Fight for it once more For if any man do but speak a word in the Vindication of His Majesty or the Government it is crime enough to blast him for a Papist and then to the Press and stigmatize him with some mark of Infamy This was the Preludium to the late Rebellion loud Clamours against Popery and Arbitrary Gov●rnment Tyranny and Oppression these were the Bugbears that they frighted the Common People with and set them a work to cry out for a Refo●mation and Liberty and Ease from Taxes especially that Arbitrary Tax call'd Ship-Money and for the Ease of the People they brought in Excise their Publick Faith Money Free Loans their Fifty Subsidies and Eighteen several other Taxes so that they drain'd out of the Kingdom above Forty Millions of Money besides the Blood of above One Hundred Thousand Innocent Men shed and their Plundering Sequestrating Imprisoning all that either truly Fear'd God and Honour'd their King Any Man that both saw and felt the Effects of the late Rebellion cannot but do his Endeavour to prevent our relapsing into that Condition again I beseech God to move the Hearts of all those Loyal Souls that have any thing of Conscience or Religion left to unite and stand up as one Man for their King and Country and maintenance of the true Protestant Religion as it is now Established by Law for all these new upstart Religions are but old Errors raked out of their Ashes I pray read the following Catalogue which is but a tast of the many Thousands that might be laid open to your view A CATALOGUE of some few of those Noblemen and Gentry that after Sequestration Compounded for their Estates   l. s. d.
