the massacre of 100000 of his Protestant Subjects he being in Scotland divers standers by then did discover by the Kings several questions to the Messenger and by his gesture that he had little sorrow for so horrible treacherous a massacre And how often was he pressed at the beginning of the rebellion to publish Proclamation against them by the Proclamation of England and to be read in all the Churches of this Kingdome And with what difficulty it was gotten and but forty must be printed and none issued out but by his Majesties speciall command And did not the Irish Rebels call themselves the Kings and Queens Army in all their Papers and transaction of businesse saying they have good warrant under black and white for their proceedings and crying out against the English-Parliament and Puritans as the Kings enemies and theirs and divers depositions and papers c. extant and in print to that purpose before these unnaturall wars began that they have the broad Seale for their warrant And have you forgotten the great Generall Oneale his offer to the Generall Monrose the Scots Generall in that Kingdome that who could shew of them two the best Commission from the King should submit to each other Did not the Lord Digbies Letters lately taken in a battell by the Lord Inchequeene advise the Lord Taffe not to fight for all the Kings designes and welfare did much depend upon the good successe of that Army which by the hand of providence is since broken His imploying the Lord Taffe in England and many other Irish in his Army against the Parliament is too apparent Must not glamongon make peace with the Irish Rebels when the Earle of Ormond would not doe it and Digby must accuse Glamorgon for so doing both which have been Agents since for his Majesty and granted them all they could desire of him under-hand as fearing so broad fac'd iniquity no mask either in Oxford or Dublin would fit And was not the Sabbath at White-Hall for divers yeares before these troubles supplied with strange Chaplins that constantly preached up the Kings Prerogative and set before him by way of emulation the broken Parliament of France c. and that he was Lord of all the Kingdome and that all mens estates were his And that if the King like Nebuchadnezzar should set up a golden image to be adored the people if they refused that Idolatry are bound to suffer death quietly and not resist the King as if whole Nations were made for the pleasure and will of a King and be subject to him as the beasts were to Adam and such men as these generally were preferred by the Bishops which when they had another head the Pope the matters of State many times went very justly for the interest of the Common-wealth but of latter times were meere servants to Prerogative and against all interest of the Common-wealth And hath not King CHARLES ever called Parliaments factious c. because they were ever opposite to his Tyrannicall Prerogative and Court designs And have you forgot the under hand dealings with the King of Denmarke as appeareth by the Kings own Letters and practises with the Army raised against the Scots and with the Scots Army Also large proffers of the foure Northerne Counti●s and pillage of London as was commonly reported for the destruction of the Parliament before any warre was thought on And when he pretended to raise a Guard only for the safety of his person soon after his endeavour of that horrid violation intended to the five members of the house of Commons Was not the Jewels of the Crowne pawned by his Catholique Queene for to buy Powder and Arms to fight in England for the Protestant Religion liberty of the Subjects And were not all Papists forbidden to come to the Court at York untill he had engaged great numbers of the prelaticall ambitious needy beggarly Court-Protestants and he knowing they being once engaged could not well goe back then he sends for the Papists horses that he might set Protestant-riders as he pretended upon them and soone after issued out a Proclamation that all Papists might arme themselves for their own defence and not long after he did receive hundreds thousands of them into his Army in England Ireland and Scotland c. And have not the Kings Army had all the prayers contributions from Rome and from all other Catholiques in Christendome for his Majesties good successe in his warre against the Parliament And hath he not for divers yeares been butchering and spoyling his protestant Subjects in these three Kingdomes as a sacrifice to his prerogative by hanging up fourteen Clothiers he being present And hath not he and his agents by his Lions skin and Machavilian policie gone about to apply to every man in great trust and eminency severall baits of honour and profit according to their severall humours corrupted many eminent persons in this Kingdome and have made them fall from their first principles and hath not he used all means to divide that he might destroy us and to bring the King dome into that condition that the Parliament should be constrained to disengage the people by requiring large contributions rather than engage them by present freedome and reformation Have not his designes been to bring in Popery and Tyranny into Scotland beyond expression and his often breach of Treaties with them designs to have destroyed the most eminent persons amongst them as the Marquesse Hamilton Argile and Lowden And have you forgotten what hath bin commonly talked concerning King Jamses death and what a great account he hath to make for not planting the protestants religion in Ireland and for not ayding the protestants in Germany and in the Palatinate And did not Hinderson that godly and learned Divine tell him he had made them 1500 widdowes in Scotland in one morning And have you forgotten the Commissioners of Scotland when he desired about three yeares since a personall Treaty they told him in the name of that Kingdome plainly and honestly that they could not admit of it though desired by his Majesty for they told him there hath been so much innocent bloud of his good Subjects shed in this unnaturall Warre by his Majesties Command and Commissions First Irish Rebels brought over into both his Kingdomes and also from sorreine parts c. There being also Forces in Scotland against that Parliament and the Kingdome by his Majesties Commission The warre in Ireland fomented and prolonged by his Majesties Command whereby the Kingdomes are brought neere to utter ruine and destruction wee conceive that untill satisfaction be first given to both his Kingdomes his Majesties coming hither cannot be convenient nor by us assented unto And hath he since recalled his Proclamations and given satisfaction for the bloud-shed and security to the peace of the Kingdomes yea or no and have not the Scots consented to the making voyde the titles of honour bestowed on such as have fought
