taken ●…es contrary to his faith He is landed with a regiment of a thousand old experienced souldiers eighty brave Commanders and twenty peeces of Ordnance with all Ammunition and equipage promotionable besides he hath bro●…ht with him armes for tenne thousand men and her Majesties Standard which is to be the blazon of her army and erected at the head of it called the Catholicke Army under the command of the Earle of Newcastle Cit. They say there are three Regiments more comming from the Northerne Counties to the said Earle of Newcastle which army of Papists come compleated will prove more formidable to this Kingdome then is at present imagined Gent. 'T is credibly reported likewise that in Nottinghamshire the Cavaliers doe make a p●●●y having possessed themselves of Newarke upon Trent and put 400. men into the Castle and command the passage there over the River Cit. But I le tell you of a strange thing the like you never heard of 'T is of a Pamphlet that was on Saturday last published and printed entituled A complaint to both 〈◊〉 of Parliament The author and publisher of it hath scattered man● of them in divers places as in Pauls Church-yard in Westminster-Hall and Westminster-Abey The aforesaid Pamplet is stuffed with intollerable language full or bitternesse and invectives against the Parliament and their legall proceedings therein that great Councell of the King and Kingdome is called a corporation of Projectors and most unjustly ●…ed for doing nothing these two yeares past tending to the good of the Republique Gent. In that the Pamphleteer or rather scandalous Libeller is most injurious to our grave Senate for the world knowes and we can all sufficiently relate what memorable acts and never to be forgotten things the indefatigable labours and endeavours of those Worthies have effected and brought to passe for the publicke good against all opposition whatsoever ever since their first Session to this present day Cit. Blessed be God for it and I pray God still blesse and prosper them in their determinations and consultations Gent. And as that scandalous Pamphlet is condemned to be burnt by the hand of the hang man to may the malignant author contriver c publisher thereof be stigmatized and branded with the perpetuall marke of infamy for defaming so renowned an Assembly in that false and infamous and libellous Pamphlet At Oxford lately at the Councell Table the Earle of Bristol made a speech the effect whereof was to animate His Majesty not to lay downe Armes but to prosecute the Parliament with all vigor And at the same time the Earle of Dorset rose up and spake bravely for a happy agreement and concurrence betweene the King and his Parliament Cit. Pray Sir how stands His Majesty affected Gent. Our gratious King desires it and would willingly upon honourable tearmes embrace it with all his heart So doth his Nephew Prince Rupert if we may beleeve that speech which he lately spake to His Majesty and the Lords of His Privy Councell at his returne from Redding to Oxford Cit. I shall love Prince Rupert the better for this and am now perswaded that he hath suffered more by the obloquie and detraction of factious spirits then ever he deserved Gent. That I verily beleeve For my part I thinke there 's no good man but desires peace Cit. May peace bee within our walls and plenty a●●ine within our dwellings Gent. May the clouds of discord discontent d●… and difference be all dissipated that there may bee a cleere and right understanding between the King and the parliament Then come 〈◊〉 or warre life or death it is and shall be our prayer God save the K●●g Cit. And preserve the Parliament FINIS

are there amongst us who delight in nothing more then in the effusion of bloud These are the hot-spurres of the times whose spirits have no spirit at all to peace All are not well-affected unto peace But it is and shall be my prayer to the God of peace that the wounds of this distractive warre may be healed that our peace may be as formerly it hath beene againe restored and to this end I pray God amend all those that are malevolently disposed Gent. Amen say I. Cit. And further may it please God to take away the wicked from the King that his throne may be established in righteousnesse Gent. You wish well but who I pray you are those wicked ones Cit. Why the malignant party and they are the Cavaliers and evill Councellors that have bin and are still about his Majesty who have seduced our good King and withdrawn him from his great and best Councell Gent. I wish that all who have been engines in withdrawing or maine actors of withdrawing the King from his Pallace at Whitehall and from his Parliament at Westminster 〈…〉 labour and invention For had not His Majesty 〈…〉 from us there had not beene such an unhappy 〈…〉 his present there is Cit. That I verily beleeve but I pray Sir ●…elolve m● who those mayne Ropes are a rope take 'em in withdrawing the King Gent. Harke in your eare for feare one of 'em may overheare me Though my brain●… be muddy I would be lo●● to have them washt in the kennell by those rude unruly headstrong and gl●…diheaded Schismaticks They are rable of ●rownists and Anabaptists who have beeene and continew still the chiefe disturbers of the peace both of the Church and Commonwealth By their factious meetings and illegall tumules they have driven His Majesty from us The King himselfe professeth no lesse in these words No other reason induced 〈◊〉 ●…ve our City of London but that with honour and safety We could not stay there and it was in regard of them therefore they are a most dangerous and mischievous generation They are li●●●he Divell himself Legion multitudes of them are now resident in the City of London in every Parish round about us Cit. I cannot confide in all that you averre Gent. Harke in your eare There are a great many of ●●ese waspes now at this instant in the Countries and in the Parliaments Army Cit. Say you so Pray Sir what have they done Gent. What have they done nay what have they not done Their barbarous and sacrilegious inhumanity hath beene of late exercised in Churches as in Canterbury Worcester Oxford and other places where they have perpetrated 〈◊〉 commited such horrid and unheard of outrages as Jewes and Atheists never practised before Cit. I am sorry whi●… my h 〈…〉 o heare it Gent. I would ● had no 〈…〉 ●…e it At Canterbury in Kent they no sooner entred the Church 〈…〉 but ●i●nt-like they began a fight with God himselfe overthrew the Communion Table tore the velvet cloth from before it defaced the goodly ●…eene violated the monuments of the dead spoiled the Organs broke downe the rarest windowes in all Christendome with the antient railes and seates and the brazen Eagle that did support the Bi●●● forced open the cupbords of the singingmen rent some of their Surp●…s gownes and bibles and carried away others mangled all the Service bookes and bookes of Common Prayer bestrowing the whole pavement with the leaves thereof Cit. If such an outrage was committed may they answer for it that did it Gent. Nay this was not all For as if all this had beene too too little to satisfie the funy and madnesse of these miscreants they further encreased their malice and cruely upon the Arras hangings in the Quire representing the whole story of our Saviour wherein observing divers figures of Christ I tr●…ble to expresse their blasphemy one said here is Christ swore that he would stab him another said here is Christ swore that he would rip up his bowells which they did accordingly so farre as the figures were capable thereof besides many other never the like heard of villanies And not content therewith finding another statue of Christ in the frontispiece of the South gate they discharged against it forty shot at least triumphing much when they hit it in the head or face as if they were resolved to Crucifie againe the Lord of life They threatned the ruine of the whole ●a●rick and would have done more mischiefe had not Colonel Sandis with some others come to the reliefe and rescue Cit. I pray God amend all that is amisse Gent. The times are grown so bad that better they may be but worse they cannot be We heard lately at Oxford that many of your Citizens have petitioned to the Parliament for peace their Apprentices likewise and divers well affected yong men of London have supplicated to the two honourable Houses for a blessed Accomodation Cit. 'T is true there are some for it and some against it Gent. Sir Robert Heath sometimes Lord chiefe Iustice of the Commonpleas after glad to have the favor to plead as a Common Serjeant now Lord cheife Justice of the Kings bench is in great fame and favour with his Majestie Cit. So are many more at this present but the Parliament are fully resolved to proceed against two persons Delinquents as the maine promoters and fomentors of this unnaturall warre upon the Subjects thereby to give satisfaction to the world in an example of Justice to be excuted upon them Gent. Who are they Cit. The one is the Lord Digby whom fame taxes to be the adviser of his Majesty to come in person to the House of Commons in a hostile manner to accuse the five members of high Treason This Lord fayling of his end in that designe advised a warre upon the Parliament as it evidently appeares by his actions and preparations both beyond sea and here in England and by severall letters which have been intercepted The other person demanded to be proceeded against is the Earle or Newcastle who hath put the sword into the Papists hands who hath in a most rigorous manner tyrannised over the Kings good Subjects in Yorkeshire imposing upon divers men great and greivous taxes as upon some 2000 〈◊〉 upon others 3000 〈◊〉 Gent. This is one ground 〈…〉 Marquesse of Hartford hath of late declined the service his 〈…〉 him in for that the King ●ath not 〈◊〉 given way to the ●…ling of a Popish army in the North but hath granted Commission to the Marquesse of Worcester a knowne Papist to be Generall of the Forces in those parts where he is whose Army consiste most of profest Papists Cit. Have you heard yet of Colonel Go●…es late landing at Newcastle Gent. I have 'T is for certaine that that faithlesse Colonel once Governer of Port smouth who afterwards desired banishment and promised never more to serve against the Parliament is yet for all his vowe and promise come over againe and hath
