Gent. Lex non est justior ulla Quam necis Artifices arte perire sua LONDON Printed by H. B. for Phil. Stephens the younger at the sign of the Kings Armes over against the Middle Temple in Fleet-street 1662. THE TRAYTORS Perspective-Glass WHosoever shall peruse either Sacred or Prophane Histories will soon find how just God is in his Judgments toward such as have rebelled against their natural Soveraignes or conspired their Deaths Zimri when he found his opportunity flew his Master Elah the servants of King Ammon their own Prince Phocas his Emperor Mauritius Artabanus Captain of the Guard killed his own King and Master Xerxes Brutus and Cassius murthered Julius Caesar Thessalus poysoned Alexander But the end of all these was lamentable for Heavens Divine Vengeance at last pursued each of them close at the heels and not one of them but perished miserably nay so crying a sin is murther that God usually inflicts upon the murtherer a punishment answerable to the crime committed According to the Law of Retaliation or that Divine Rule He that sheddeth mans blood shall have his blood shed by man Qui struit insidias aliis sibi damna dat ipse Who doth for others dig a pit Oft times himself falls into it Thus it fared with the Egyptians who having drowned all the male-children of the Israelites were themselves drowned in the Red-sea And the children of Israel when they took Adonibezek cut off his thumbs and his great toes Iudg. 1.6 7. whereupon he said Threescore and ten Kings having their thumbs and their great toes cut off gathered their meat under my table and now as I have done so God hath requited me So when Perillus had made his brazen Bull to torment others Phalaris thought it just that himself who made it should first taste of his own invention and he burned alive in it Lex non est justior ulla Quam necis artifices arte perire sua And when Egypt wanted the usual inundation of Nilus Thracius having told Busyr●s that the weath of the gods would be appeased by the sacrificing a strangers blood the King knowing him to be an Alien thought it the justest act to offer him up first unto the gods Illi Busyris fies Iovis hostia primus Inquit Aegyptotu dabis hospes aquam Since thou a stranger art Busyris crys We first will thee to the gods sacrifice So we read that those Lords who first called the Moors into Spain to destroy their King Roderick were themselves and their families destroyed by the means of those Moors and the Britains that rejected their just and lawful King Aurelius Ambrosius and sent for the Saxons to aid them against him were not long after driven by the Saxons into the Rocky Mountains where they remain exiled from their own right to this day But if we cast our eyes either upon those that were the instruments of our late bloody wars or such as were guilty of shedding the precious blood of that blessed Martyr Charls the first we shall find such a series of Gods iust judgement against his enemies as no History of any times or any Kingdom besides our own can parallel the like Gods judgements against the Scots I Will first begin with the Scots in general for they were the first Pomentors and Ringleaders of the late Rebellion by raifing not onely an Army against thei● natural Prince but by encouraging our Nation to the like and afterwards in betraying their Soveraign to a Jewish faction of bloody Independants and Anabaptists who thirsted after his life For when the good King upon their deep but perfidious engagements thought he might be safe with those his own Native Subjects he resolved to go unto them and thereupon disguising himself with a very great hazard of his own person he adventured to pass through all difficulties and to commit himself into the hands of those men who very fai●ly but fasly made merchandize of his Majestie and sold him to his enemies at a far deerer rate then the Traytor Iudas sold the Saviour of the world and the King of Kings unto the Jews And no such wonder neither for Iudas was but an Ass to Lesley who had been a Pedlar or Merchant as Pedlars are termed in that Countrey before he became Commander of an Army and therefore he knew how to sell his ware better then the other though his sin in one respect was far worse for Iudas repented of his treachery and brought back the thirty pieces he had received and cast it down with a penitent confession of his fault But we finde not that either Lesley or any other of these Scotish Merchants did repent their treacheries con●ess their faults or return one peny of the price they received for their King back again But never was any Nation more justly dealt withal for their perj●ries towards their Soveraign then those perfidious Scots who having watted against their King Covenanted with and sold him to the Parliament God was pleased to make the same Parliament that invited them to these their impieties to become the instruments of their punishment and that dear Brother of theirs Oliver Cromwel who not long before made speeches in their commendation and gratulory orations for that blessed union betwixt these two Nations at length proved the chiefest Agent another Attalus called flagellum Dei whom the Lord used for the execution of his Fury upon these perjured people First by

before his death to roar so loud and make such doleful clamors that his Council being informed that many persons as they passed by his chamber window took much notice of his crys thought fit to have him removed from the place where he then lay to one more private where with extremity of anguish and terror of Conscieence having his soul at the parting from his body accompanied with such a hellish tempest as was by all men judged to be prodigious he finished his miserable life for he dyed mad and dispairing as the Author of the fourth part of the History of Independency affirms Out of whom give me leave to insert this remarkable passage viz. That it was believed and not without some good cause that Cromwel the same morning he defeated the Kings Army at Worcester fight had conference personally with the Devil with whom he made a Contract that to have his will then and in all things else for seven years after from that time being the third of September 1651. he should at the expiration of the said years have him at his command to do at his pleasure both with his soul and body Now if any one will please to reckon from the third of September 1651. till the third of September 1658. he will finde it to a day just seven years and no more Richard Protector At which time he dyed declaring his eldest Son Richard his Successor his Son Henry Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and leaving his Daughter Fleetwood married to the Commander in chief of the Army under himself This was the end of our English Nero A person of an unlimitted ambition and restless spirit of whom I have heard it credibly reported by such as attended upon him in his bed-chamber that after he had embrewed his hands in the blood of his Soveraign he was observed to sleep so little that he scarce took any repose but oft in the night time would arise out of his bed take a pistol into his hand and call to his guard to watch his door and have a care of sleeping Nor was his guilty conscience less terrified in the day time then in the night as appears by the testimony of Sir Theophilus Iones who waiting upon him one morning in his Chamber the wind on a sudden blowing up the hangings before the door possessed him with such a Panick fear that he cryed out Traytors Traytors and drawing out his sword could not be perswaded to disperser his fears or put up his weapon till the wind playing the same game again convinced him of his error The like story I find written by Polidore Virgil of Richard the third who having caused his two Nephews to be secretly murthered he could never after whilest he lived enjoy any quiet in his mind but would be still starting and clapping his hand upon his dagger Thus do to mented Consciences continually carry a Hell about them as Lucan saith the wicked man doth Nocte dieq suum gestare in pectore testem Hunc omnes gladii quos aut Pharsalia vidit Aut ultrix visura dies stringente Senatu Illa nocte premiunt hunc infera monstra flagellant Englished thus The murtherer nor night nor day can rest But bears about a witness in his brest He fancies all he sees are Lictors sent To bring him to deserved punishment Furies raign in his soul And Pictorius in his Epigram upon the same subject saith Illud habet damni vitium inter coetera quod mens Palpitat assiduo flagitiosa mecu Semper enim si non deprehendatur in ipso Sese deprendi posse put at scelere Deque suo quoties alterius do crimine sermo est Cogitat credit se magis esse reum Inque dies timor hic crescit The wicked man this Fate attends that he Is never from pursuing torments free He dreams he 's taken though he waking find Himself deceiv'd fear still torments his mind If any talk of others crimes arise His guilty Conscience in his face streight flyes Each day begets new tortures But 't is time to leave him off and return to his Children who have also drank deep of the bitter Cup of Affliction for their Fathers perjuries according to that of the Poet In prolem dilatarunt perjuria patris The Child often suffers for his Parents crimes Richard Protector For although before his death Oliver strived to entail his tyrannical power as well in England as Ireland upon his Son Richard and Harry yet God soon cast them both out by stirring up their Brother in Law Fleetwood and their near kinsman Disborough to effect it So as this Pageant of Honour continued few Moneths in his Protectorship before he was reduced to such extremity being indebted in 290000 l. for his Fathers Funeral that at the sitting of the Rump Parliament he who lately was stiled the Nations Protector is now necessitated to let his Highness stoop so low as to beg their protection to preserve himself from rotting in a Prison Thus vanished this magni nominis umbra the shadow and Puppet-play of a Protector Henry Cromwel Nor did it fare better with his Brother Harry who having the Government and strength of Ireland in his power and a considerable Army ready to hazard their lives in his service might in all probability have resetled his Brother again or at least have made himself great in the Kings favour had he adhered to his interest but God struck such a terrour into his Soul as he had not courage enough left to be an Instrument of good either to his Countrey or P●ince b●t this pittiful cowardly Imp tamely surrendred up all his power into the R●mps hands whereupon he was ordered to return speedily into England to attend the pleasure of the House where after a tedious waiting upon them at the Commons Bar at length he was for his good service stroaked on the head called a good Boy and dismissed for which kindness he bussed his hand made a leg and Exit The Lady Claypool Next for Cromwels Daughters the strange end of his Darling Child Mrs. Claypool is very remarkable For finding her Father violently bent in prosecuting the Death of that Learned and Pious Divine Dr. Hewitt her Conscience was so extreamly troubled at his cruelty that she both night and day sollicited him by prayers and supplications to spare the life of that innocent person But he who never before denied any thing she requested of him is now grown inexorable and like the Deaf Adder stops his Ears against the charmings of this sweet Charmer at which unheard of inhumanity she took such excessive grief that she suddenly fell sick the increase of her sickness making her rave in a most lamentable manner calling out against her Father for Hewitts blood and then telling him that God now laid his heavy punishments upon her for his hainous crimes she desired him to repent and pray for her till at length these violent extravagant passions working upon
