their King murthered by them while they pretended to fight for him and preserve him O drink no more of the Wine of the Wrath of their Fornications which they hold forth in that poysonous and filthy Cup of their Agreement of the People with which they hope to make drunk this whole Nation That as Lots incestuous Daughters their lusts may be fully impregnated by the conjunction of the strength riches and counsel of these Kingdoms Know you for certain O you Souldiers that no place of Repentance can be found among those Esaus and Judas's who have been the chief and malicious Actors and Contrivers of these wicked and cruel Confusions whose Names as we well know so we are sure the hand of God will find them out making them who have been the terrour and torture of men of all degrees to become as Pashur Magornoissabis terrour round about As a Wheel in past revolutions from prosperous wickedness to miserable punishments as Chaff toffed to and fro by the breath of Gods displeasure and the execration or abhorrence of all people in all Nations Christian and Heathen where ever they are driven to be Vagabonds and Runnagates carrying with them in their fester'd Consciences the forked Arrow of their deceiving and then cruelly destroying both their King and their Country And this till they are cast into the chains of utter darkness who have quenched the light of Israel and to everlasting flames whose wrath kindled with the fire of Hell hath burned to the very Foundations of so happy a Nation No person of Worth Honour or Piety but will ever loath to eat drink or converse with them looking upon them as unluckie prodigies Much more will every ingenuous Man or Woman abhor ever to marry or make any affinity with them or their Families polluted with the blood of their King but most of all abominated will they be as to any Communion with them in Prayer or other religious duties who having turned the Grace of God into wantonness cannot but already hear Judas's silent clamors deep despairings and self-condemnings Like Julian the Apostate they cannot but feel the secret and smart strokes of God in their Consciences for betraying persecuting and destroying the innocent blood of our King O Earth cover it not O Time forget it not O Heaven fail not to revenge their prodigal and cruel wast of so royal and precious blood Surely without any uncharitable rashness they may be suspected to be past all grace and recovery by any Prayers There remaining for such sinners of the sin to death such relapsing Swine and resorbing Dogs who pretending to have escaped the pollutions of the World are returned to their mire and vomit feigning to be illuminated Saints yet have wrought such works of thick darkness nothing but a fearful expectation of vengeance and fiery indignation to consume them without infinite mercys They have impudently and trayterously judged condemned and murthered the King upon the pretence of his raising War against the Parliament of which Fact themselves are doubly and most unquestionably guilty before all the World twice menacing invading and forcibly assaulting their Masters in the two Houses of Parliament Nor if their charge had been true against the King which upon his death he both denied and most evidently proved by the legal right he had to the Militia and the date of their Commissions for raising VVar before His Majesties were out yet were not these Usurpers any competent Judges by God or Man appointed Nor was indeed that calumny the real motive of their sudden bloody and resumed cruelty but only that extream fear hatred and terrour their hypocrisie and villany had conceived against the Kings excellent wisdom constant piety and immovable goodness which they had so often and so unmeasurably abused and which they saw was the chiefest obstacle in the way of their Sacrilegious Ambitions And now like desperate Empyricks upon whose cruel tamperings we have spent our Blood our Estates our Lives the honour of our Nation and the credit of our Reformed Religion You now pretend to stop that bloody issue which by tumult and treason you have made by destroying the whole Royal Family and letting out all the Antient blood of our Kings out of the veins of these Kingdoms To extirpate Kings Peers and Parliaments and by addle fictions of your weak and confused brains to obtrude the frippery and gullery of your Agreement of the People As if all Rules of Justice all true Policy and Reason of State and good grounds of Government no less than all wickedness cruelty hypocrisie and treason only dwelt in your shallow brains and narrow hearts Who for the most part are not guilty of any Learning or Civil Improvements are open and declared Authors of Ignorance Confusion and Tyranny Enemies to all sober Manners and good Orders both in Church and State Nor do those great things as you call them which you have hitherto with most infamous treachery and cruelty peracted and attained any way render you considerable with sober godly and truly wise men For what may not Frontless Hypocrites do who have forsaken God and given themselves over to the Devils Captivity when impowered with Arms and Might they resolve barbarously to break through and cast off all bonds of right trust duty credit and conscience to God and Man as you have done But you O hardned and infatuated Regicides can you in good earnest flatter your selves that this foolish Toy this shameless Imposture your Bastard Brat your headless Chymera your many-headed Hydra called The Agreement of the People but by as full an Antiphrasis as the Fiends and Furies of Hell were called Eumenides will be a salve sufficient to heal or Plaister to cover the wide deep and festered wounds which your treacherous cruelty hath made upon this Kingdom in all Estates both joyntly as in Parliament and severally as in the interests of the Crown the Nobility the Clergy and the Commons No your selves know that very Title which you shamelesly impose upon your mad and deformed Model is nothing but a Lye and Falsity being in no sense The Agreement of the People not we hope ever like to be Neither in their Representatives the Commons whom you have disbanded and cashiered in the Majority leaving only some few Members left whose Asinine patience and stupidity suffers the Balaams of the Army as mad and false Prophets to ride upon them for the price of blood and wages of Iniquity To which Vassallage we hope no Gentlemen of any Honour or Conscience will ever betray themselves or their Country by returning to the House again or sitting and voting there while it is under such insolent Tyrants Nor will you find it more agreeable to the generality of the people throughout the Kingdom both Ministers and others who ●n thei● souls disagree as much from what you have done and by that further design as light doth from darkness Liberty from Oppression and God from your Dictator the
