A65583	A second narrative of the late Parliament (so called) wherein, after a brief reciting some remarkable passages in the former narrative, is given an account of their second meeting, and things transacted by them : as also how the Protector (so called) came swearing, by the living God, and dissolved them, after two or three weeks sitting : with some quæries sadly proposed thereupon : together with an account of three and forty of their names, who were taken out of the house, and others that sate in the other house, intended for a House of Lords, but being so unexpectedly disappointed, could not take root, with a brief character and description of them : all humbly presented to publique view / by a friend to the good old cause of justice, righteousnesse, the freedom and liberties of the people, which hath cost so much bloud and treasury to be carried on in the late wars, and are not yet settled.	Wharton, George, Sir, 1617-1681.	1658 (1658)	Wing W1556; ESTC R8011	50,589	52

And now says he we present to your Highness what we have done and commit to your trust the common Faith once delivered to the Saints the Gospel and the saving truths of it being a national endowment bequeathed by Christ himself at his Ascention and committed to some in the Nations behalf committed to my trust saith Paul in the Name of the Ministers and we look at the Magistrate as l l To wit Keeper of both Tables Custos utriusque tabulae and so m m Do not these several Churches by their silence hold forth that they consent to what their Pastors and Messengers have done herein so are fallen in with Abettors of the Apostacy of this day And if it be not so ought they not to declare against it commit it to your trust as our chief Magistrate c. and we bless you out of Zion c. Which practice and speaking especially considered as the Case now stands and as to the person to whom it is spoken having also according to the Doctors sence xo footing in Scripture is the practice and Language of Babylon and not of Zion and greatly discovers that the poor Doctor never had a true Tincture within him or taste of sweetness in Communion with God in the discovery of that Glory of Zion and Kingdom of Christ he so largely hath spoken and writ of but had it from Books and hear-say for it is impossible that one who hath truly tasted of that Glory except he be desperately infatuated or holds falling away should bring forth such cursed untimely fruit so contrary to the true light and spirit of Zion as this is Was not the Bishops and the simple Clergy who were acted by their fear or favour formerly condemned by him and others for stiling the late and former Kings Defenders of the Faith and supreme Head of the Church under Christ so generally acknowledged in its original to proceed from Harry the 8. who for self ends not the glory of God dethron'd the Papal power in England and took the Popes usurped Supremacy and Title of Defender of the Faith as well as the Tythes and First Fruits upon and to himself Is it not the general received principle of Independents and other Sectaries so called who are clear sighted and not without ground to pleade against such a Tenent But these things declare that Mr. Goodwin sucks such sweetness from the great Soveraignty Honour and Profit of Magdalen Colledge in Oxford and hath therewith drawn in such a Tincture of that spirit which naturally and usually breaths in persons inhabiting those places as he is loth to be weaned from it and therefore will right or wrong turn in and comply with any thing so he may keep his interest there It will be well for him if I am mistaken But I leave what may further be spoken to this Subject to a better Pen who may take it in hand when his Book comes forth in print And together with him that cringing Court Chaplain Peter Sterry that also bows to what ever is uppermost speaking higher then all this as is credibly reported by several godly men that heard him to their astonishment holding forth his Bible in the Chappel of White-hall he spake to this purpose That if that were the VVord of God then as certainly that blessed holy spirit meaning the late Potector was with Christ at the Right Hand of the Father and if he be there what may his Family and the people of God now expect from him for if he were so useful and helpful and so much good influenced from him to them when he was here in a mortal State how much more influence will they have from him now he is in Heaven the Father Son and Spirit thorough him bestowing gifts and graces c. upon them And a great deal more to this purpose and as he spake thus blasphemously of his Father so the same spirit running in the aforementioned flattering Addresses breath'd from him to his son the now Protector so called which also greatly discovers within what walls he breaths But I shall let the Father pass and speak a little of the Son his Successour and in short a little answer to those flattering blasphemous ungodly expressions couched in the late Addresses to him as if he were a second Solomon Joshua or Elisha Oh you blasphemous lying flattering Cycophant Addressours in City Country Army c. or off-spring of Thurlo and Nedham the Pamphleter who are so ready to cry up Adonijah the false and to cry and keep down Solomon the true spirit of Magistracy give me leave a little to reason with you What eminent appearing work of grace or of the image of God did you ever experience in and upon him or heard of from others not acted by a self-seeking fawning servile spirit but truly fearing the Lord What eminent Action for God his Cause or people did you ever see or hear he did either in his fathers life time or since his death that you so highly speak and allude as if he had a Joshua Solomon or an Elisha's spirit Is Hawking Hunting keeping Race-horses and riding Horse-matches to the endangering of the lives both of Horses and Men wherein for the most part the most carnal of Professors and the worst of men are oftenest exercised and must therefore of necessity be his Companions such a demonstration of those noble vertues and high endowments you so speak of to be in him Pray bear with me that I thus reason with you for my spirit is grieved when ever I read or think of these your late Addresses and it is fully settled in my heart and I can believe no other but that it is a carnal unbelieving selfish filthy spirit by which you are acted and which the Lord by his spirit in his people hath already and will further discover blow upon and consume Doth the following words and action declare him to be what you so speak of him I will tell you what is commonly reported among honest men which I had from a good hand and am fully satisfied is very true yea and more then I shall here relate One Cornet Sumpner in Colonel Ingoldsby's Regiment knowing the wickedness and naughtiness of Major Babington Major thereof to be such as to dis-own and brow-beat the honest men in the Regiment and to countenance drunkards lyars swearers and haters of goodness and good men being for a long time grieved thereat in his spirit at length by the advice of some eminent in the Army drew up several Articles to present to a Court-Martial or elsewhere against him which your most illustrious serene and renowned Protector the inheritour of his Fathers noble vertues hearing of sends for the Cornet to come unto him who when he was come the Major and Colonel Ingoldsby c. being also present your Joshua Solomon and Elisha spake after this manner to him Josh. What have you Articles against
