THE REBELLS VVarning-Piece 1. I Confesse and acknowledge to all the World that I have these six yeares to the terror of my Conscience sided with a desperate wicked ungodly and Schismaticall Faction of men in this present Parliament walking in the Name of Independents who have led mee blind-fold to this Destruction first by making me guilty of laying violent hands upon the sacred Person of my KING 2. To usurpe the Power and formallity of lawfull Justice 3. Against the Lawes of God and Man to depose him and imbrew my impious hands in his Royall Blood 4. Against my severall Oathes of Allegiance Supremacy League and Covenant c. besides the light of my owne Conscience to make approvall of all this by signing my hand or consenting to so high and horrid a Treason above all that beares the name or thought of wickednes 5. That contrary to my former Oaths I have perfideously signed to the new Ingagement and made approvall of a new Government without King or House of Lords though but for suspition of some going about to change the said Government I have been one that have sentenced others to Death 6. I have been brought to thinke I was so perfect that I was above all Ordinances of God or Lawes of Man and might my selfe doe what I list and not give an account for any of my actions to God or Man and whatsoever I did or should doe though never so wicked and desperate was already forgiven and so not accountable for 7. I have beleeved that the Soule of Man is mortall and a meere composure of the foure Elements and at the disolution of my body shall returne to the first Principles or Elements it was made of viz. Fire Aire Water Earth and of no other celestiall matter whatsoever 8. I have beleeved that it is lawfull where mindes cannot simpathise between a Man and his Wife to put away one Woman and take another without any consent of the Temporall or Spirituall Authority which hath blown up the fire of Lust in my boyling veins and made me commit Adultrey and Whoredome c. 9. I have believed it lawfull to Equivocate Lie Blasphemie c. or to act Regicide or murder on any Person though never so sacred to gain my self superiority and reigne over the rest which hath caused me with ranck-mouth'd Slanders to doe my utmost to blast the Fame and Integrity of my late King his Queen and their Progeny and by Ambition Pride and Covetousness have used all frawdulent wayes and means to enrich my self out of the ruines of the late King his Faithful subjects 10. I have accounted Chance or successe to be my God and have varyed and fitted my evill Principles thereto acknowledging no other Power and with the same resolution armed my self to hinder all good in others and commit any evill my self Thus walking in this Laborinth of sin and crooked Meanders of wickedness my blind guides had led me into being destitute of a right Guide having nothing but a false light in stead of bringing me out to minde and bewitch me further into more imaginary mischiefs groaping with one hand this way and the other that way at last I fell headlong into the deep pit of desperation the snare of the Devil and darkness of hell whereupon many idle Imaginations came hourly into my head that I could neither eat drinke nor take rest sometimes I thought a man all in black offered me a Knife and pointing it to my Throat which presently put me in minde that to ease my troubled Conscience it was my best way to out my own throat whereupon I provided me a sharpe Knife and assayed to doe the same about Christmass last but was then prevented by my servant and Mr. Peters Dell and others sent unto me by both the House and the Army whose Exhortations and Prayers wrought no whit upon me but rather drove me to greater despaire in which I continued till the Devill presented before me as in a glasse all my fore-mentioned Errours that I had maintained and the bloody crying sins I had formerly committed and shewed me a glasse of wine seeming to out poyson therein and drinke it off presently I apprehended it must be a poysoned cup must allay that scorching fire of hell that consumed my blood-guilty conscience I presently called up my man telling him I was trobled with a Rat that knaw'd my writings commanded him to buy me two penny-worths of Ratsbane but my man observing former distempers in me came back without saying the Apothecary questioned what he would doe with it and brought up a Trap in his hand to catch the Rat when indeed it was nothing but my own rotten and scared Conscience tearing and devouring my more rotten soul being out by this time I became a little quieter and took Physick for my body which but prolonged the pains of my soul sometimes I had some good motions to read and taking up my Bible accidentally opened it upon the fourth Chapter of the second Book of Samuel vers 10 11 12. which when I had read I presently fell into my old distemper me thought I saw Judas Absalom and Ahitophell hanging themselves pre I suggested on the Devil in me that I could finde no rest till I did the same methought my minde ran presently on the bed-coard and I did thinke it a comfort that I was so well provided I kneeled down but could not pray nor had I power to think of any thing but hell and damnation so that night I went to Bed where I no sooner slumbred but I saw passe by my bed the late KING attended with the Earl of Strafford the Bishop of Canterbury the Lord Capel and numbers before and behind Him bearing Palms in their hands singing this Anthem Hee that is faithfull to the end and overcommeth shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be my Son but the fearfull the unbeleeving the abominable the Murderers Whoremongers Sorcerers Idolaters and all Lyars shall have their parts in the Lake which burneth which burneth with Brimstone and fire I awaking in a great passion flung my self toward the wall my arm hanging down between

the wall and the bed and pulling up my hand brought a piece of the Bed-cord up in my hand which hanged by which I cut off with my knife and laid by me and rise up and betook my self to write these few Items which I leave as a Legacy to those to whom it doth belong Woe unto you O bloody Cities of London and Westminster for your Pride hath ruined the King his children and the whole Country round about you Vengeance is now reigning down upon you because of your sin you have been both Mothers and Nurses of Rebellion Cities of Murderers robbers and Spoilers therefore because you do spoil you must be spoiled and that suddenly even in lesse then two full yeeres VVoe unto thee thou black Perjured Parliament for you have taken upon you the Office of the Almighty judged condemned and Martyred your rightfull King over whom you had not the least Power to wrong one hair of that Head you presumed to separate from the body of Gods Anointed in which accursed blow you smote off your selves from the Protection of the Almighty denyed your faith and are no more Christians but Infidells more blood guilty then Cain or Iudas fearfull and terrible shall be your ends before three times three Moons shall go their circuits you shall be many of you with me if not by the same manner of death by a worse VVoe unto you Apostatizing and backsliding Army for you have made many widows and Fatherlesse you and your Armies shall rott away like dung you shall be a stinke in the nostrills of all People to the worlds end VVoe unto thee Fairfax Cromwell Bradshaw c. ye spared not the Lords Anointed neither shall you be spared Thus Lucifer fell so must you all and sinke to hell Yours HOYLE THe writing of this took him up neer till dinner-time about which time his Land-lord came to him and asked him if he pleased to come down to dinner He answered he was drawing up some Instructions for the Counsell of State which he must finish by two a clock yet to cover his desperate intention bid him preserve him some meat and sent down Ten shilings to the servants of the house to buy Powder to make fire-works to solemnize the day which was received thankfully by them and St. Regicides Holy-day made by master and servants who all went abroad to spend the Burgesse of Yorks money which administred him the better opportunity to hang himself which before they came in again by the help of the Devil he had effected with a Bed-coard A fearfull Example to all desperate Regicides Behold Here is a Warning-Piece for all Rebells if their Pride will give them leave to ponder the end of this desperate wretch This foregoing Paper came to my hands by his Servant which I seriously perusing thought it worthy the revealing in print to dehort others from the like yet finding great difficulty in the Presse which is ty'd up from delivering Truths in this nature I at last prevailed with the Printer notwithstanding any Act to the contrary to Print and publish the same in which I have not added nor deminished a word only adding to his own last and seasonable Advice this Epitaph following An EPITAPH on Alderman HOYL a Member of Parliament who hanged himself January 30. 1649.
