A NEW REMONSTRANCE OF THE FREE-BORN PEOPLE OF ENGLAND CONCERNING This present Parliament and a new Representative With their earnest Desires and Propositions touching the same TOGETHER With a Prophecy of the Right Honourable Sir Francis Bacon late Lord Chancellor of England concerning the Wars and Government of this Common-wealth with Advice and Instructions to be observed by all Persons whatsoever AS ALSO Observations touching the King Parliament Army Presbytery and Independency in relation to New-Lights and New-Devises Published by Authority London Printed for George Horton and are to be sold at the Royal Exchange in Corn-hill 1651. A new Declaration concerning the Parliament And the Prophesie of that famous and learned Lawyer Sir FRANCIS BACON late Lord Chancellor of England WHereas future Posterities may admire the magnitude of those Actions performed by the Parliament of England since their first convening even so may this present Age conclude them to be men of brave and undaunted spirits that durst attempt so high so great mutations in a Kingdom whereinto lesse then 25 Kings and Queens had succesfully reigned insomuch that it is an Argument sufficient to convince the people of this Nation that they were men of admirable resolutions and guided by divine Councels that through so many Meanders of good and adverse fortune so many treasons even of their own Members and contrary judgements within and without the Walls of their own House yet at length foyling all their Enemies have brought themselves and the people of this Nation to a secure Harbor And behold even now when they might happily have expected rest for themselves and thanks from this people for whose sakes they have so dangerously adventured many of their persons most of them their Estates Providence it seems will have another Generation to enter upon this work and if possible finish that great Building whose foundation themselves have with so great industry laid But indeed Prophets have seldom any honour in their own Countrey Christ spoke it and it is true as also that some of their Members have acted as men being derived from the Progeny of Adam their misactings cannot blemish the whole House for the Countries from whence they came elected men to act for them not Gods Saints or Angels for these are not commanded by men or are their Habitations upon earth Were not our judgements prevaricated we might know this Parliament it self is no more harmed by some mens failings then the sound body of a strong Oak by rotten branches falling from it Now may the good Angels of God preserve them and let Posterity never mention any of their Names without Encomiums of Honour due unto their merits This is the sence and Remonstrance of divers of the free-born people of England But old things must now be laid aside the whole Nation are in expectancy of a new Parliament very greedy of Novelties and changes we are for so the Heavens at present incline us so were the Jews of old in craving a King so we in 1639. and 1640. were stark mad to have a Parliament God was angry with the Jews for their rashness and thousands of our Nation repent their forwardness in promoting the convention of this Parliament We cry Hosanna to day crucifie to morrow nor full or empty bellies content us when Gold was more plenty then now Silver is we repined when we abounded we muttered now we are poor we do but grumble Nor King or Parliament or Army or Presbytery or Independency will please us long New Lights New Devices What shall the God of Eternity do to satisfie every one of us What shall this present Authority do or that which shall succeed hereafter to give every curious fancy content Oh people of England be wise unto sobriety seek the glory of God and not your selves supplicate Almighty God that he permit his ministring Angels not Priests to direct you when you do elect new Members for a succeeding Parliament I beseech you let us in all humbleness represent our thankfulness to these present Members who now sit at the Helm of Judicature for that liberty and good which if not unthankful we must attribute to have received from their labour Let us now send into the House of Parliament as many Representations of our loves and kind acceptances of their pains and carefulness for us as formerly we did of vain and very unnecessary Petitions Such acknowledgements from us will encourage those whom providence shall elect to succeed to endeavour with their uttermost abilities to serve the Commonalty Let us wink at the small faults of some and the personal failings of others amongst them but let us spare the tyranny of none Let us do what we do conscientiously and nothing rashly or in a giddy homour Oh England what ever we do let us unanimously reverence the great Authority it self let us maintain and support its greatness and Majesty with a venerable Reverence Let us above all things keep up the Parliaments Supremacy above the Souldier or Divine Omnia subject a sunto autoritati Parlamenti Anglorum A Prophecie Written by Sir Francis Bacon late Lord Chancellour of England ENglands worst is well-neer run The loud Pipe stopt the Fife and Drum The Earl of Derby a prime Ringleader in Lancashire is now dead and his Pipe stopt so also the loud bagpiping Presbyterian Priests of that Countrey We are possest of Fife in Scotland the Drums begin to be silent This Prophecy wrote one hundred years since is even now fulfilled There shall be seen upon a day Betwixt the Bass and the May d. alias Baugh The black Fleet of Norway When that that is come and gone England build houses of lime and stone For after Wars shall you have none The Bass and the Baugh are two Islands in the mouth of the River that goeth up to Edinborough where our Fleet lay 1650. So that now we may now safely buy houses purchase Lands either Crown Bishops Deans or Delinquents with full confidence of possessing our Purchases untill Doomes-day There 's no scruple in the Parliaments Title Kings did the same to Traytors as now our State doth to Delinquents Henry the 8. sold Abbies and Munkeries We Bishops and Deaneries the Possessors were most part Lubbers and Droans did God no service Ergo There 's no Sacrilege committed in the sale of these Lands And many there are that do aver That this Nation shall be ever from this time quite free from War For assuredly no Forraigner hereafter shall ever plant or fix his Seat here nor shall we have any more Kings to reign over us Yet shall Charles Stuart indeavour to disturb our peace and from Denmark Sweden and other parts get an Armado to Sea but about the 7. day of July 1652. there will happen a great fight between the English Fleet and his Armado and after a bloudy Contest his whole Navy will be sunk taken and dispersed and himself in perilous danger of suffering by shipwrack The Dutch will likewise be troublesome this Year at Sea but we shall make them tame enough quickly There hath been within this 116. years five Conjunctions in the sign Leo. The influence of this conjunction intimates oppression unto the poor divided opinions amongst our Governours disturbances and emnities amongst the Souldierie the displacing of worthy men preferment of vulgar sneaking fellows losse and damage in Scotland by treachery by neglect of such as are trusted in Authority the downfall or questioning of many Ministers several Heresies or very uncouth opinions in Religion do take their original The minds of men incited through Choller and discontent to Rebellion and contempt of Authority much scorning of superiors both the temporal Lawes and Ecclesiastical questioned strange and fearful sicknesses private murthers poysons casually many fires to the great impoverishing of the people very desperate Sea-fights all over Europe Uproars blood Wars tumults rebellion in France either sickness death or strange misfortunes unto the French King James Duke of York is threatned by this conjunction with either hurt by fire or a desperate Feaver c. Women subject to abortions or hard labor in the birth of their Children many tertian and quartain Agues a general Mortality threatned both on Men and Cattle the temperature of mens bodies so poysoned by infectious ayres that a plague most probably will afflict us ere the influence of this conjunction depart from us which will not be till 1654. is almost ended I only say the greatest vigor of this Conjunction shall express it self in Councels and Action near about February March and April next FINIS
