We are become a reproach to the foolish people because you delude them with lies and Mock-victories and servants bear rule over us such as Endymion Porter Davis the Barber c. The mean man is risen against the Honourable that is the poor ragged Welch men against the Parliament and the fire out of the Bramble devoureth the lofty Cedars the fire out of the Parliaments Guns hath abated the pride of some of your Nobles our women are cast out of their pleasant places by your Deflouring and Ravishing them and the robe is pulled off from the aged witnesse your robbing of old Master Dod of his gowne in Northamptonshire there is no respect had to the Prieast of Baall you meane nor favour to the Elders the Bishops and Deanes you conceive Thy Sanctuaries the excellency of thy strength are prophaned by the saying of your Mock prayers and Thanksgiving in them and they have defiled the places where thine Honor dwelleth which the Cavaliers did at Kingston upon Thames and Plympton by making them a jakes and stables for their Horses and yet still the seat of wickednes frameth mischief by a Law true you have done all your villanies by the known Laws of the land and it turneth iudgement backward when the runawayes voted in their Anti-Parliament at Oxford and biddeth Iustice stand a farre off as the Cavalier Governours over Cities and Corporations doc and deviseth deceitfull matters against those that are quiet in the land for which devisings both Tompkins and Challoner were hanged at quiet London Nay there is a lying spirit gone out into the mouthes of the Prophets witnesse the Prelaticall Prayer-mongers that made this lying book for their no victories they prophesie falsly and the people delight to have it so and they strengthen the hands of evill doers that they turne not back from their wickednesse your Cavaliers and Grandees delight in such falsities whereby you strengthen the hands of your evill party and keepe them in their wickednesse by upholding them with these lyes Thus are wee covered with a cloud in thine anger a cloud of lies and impieties to seduce

adherents are true Adamites for though they have wrought worlds of mischiefe in beginning and somenting this unnaturall War amongst us yet they would make the stupid people beleeve that they are innocent and cleare from those heynous exorbitances and like Adam transferre their sinnes from themselves upon the backs and consciences of those that only take up defensive Armes against them but that will not serve their turnes for though they strive to palliate their subtill crimes yet God hath and will every day more and more detect and discover them and will without question turne their wickednesses upon their own heads A Thanks-giving for the Queenes safe returne O Most mercifull Lord God wee farther render thee all praise and thankes for that thou hast been pleased ro extend thy hand of deliverance unto the person of our gracious Queene are they Protestant or Popish graces that thou hast made her an instrument of so much good to this Kingdome this is a French Ironie for you speake contrary to your meaning and knowledge I know not to give flattering titles said Iob 32.22 and brought her safely hither through so many dangers both by sea and land she came with a great Convoy of Dutch Ships by Sea and passed through no places by land but the Kings Garrisons guarded with a strong Army where was the danger you speak of Lord make the King and his People daily more and more happy in her this is a prayer for the future what past or present happines have we enjoyed that as by thine especiall favour she is already become the mother of so many hopefull Princes if two of them were not now nurtured amongst Prelates Papists and debauched souldiers so shee may be daily fruitfull in the addition of more blessings to us I pray let them be better then those we have hitherto received through Iesus Christ our Lord to whom with thee and the holy Ghost be all honour and glory world without end Amen I was horribly afraid these Prayer-mongers would have given the Queene thankes in this Prayer also Reader few words are best because the Queen is not here now and cannot answer for her self and therefore I can lay nothing to her present charge but consider the good she hath done to this Kingdom I will except her good to Ireland and Scotland she carried her daughter from hence to her husband in Holland and because shee had not ready money to defray her charges there shee carried with her a few trifling Jewells and the Cubbord of gold Plate which the Law saith belonged to the Kingdom and hearing the distractions amongst us to increase and the Cavaliers and Papists to grow numerous shee made bold with a good meaning no doubt to pawne or sell those Jewells and Plate and with the moneys arising from them bought Armes Ammunition and Ordnance and kindly sent them to us to beat the Prelates Papists Cavaliers and Irish Rebells out of England And was she not herein an Instrument of much good to this Kingdom As for those Rivers of Protestants blood that hath been shed by this means you must think it is a toy to a Catholike Queen and not to be esteemed so she gain her ends and advance that Cause and Faction Here is the happinesse here are the blessings this Nation hath reaped by such an Instrument of good More may be said but I leave all true Protestants to their owne Meditations A Hymne or Generall Thanks-giving GLory be to God on high your Mock-prayers defraud him of his glory and in earth Peace not in England Scotland and Ireland by your consents good will towards men to what men Papists or Protestants Cavaliers or Round heads to him that sweareth or to him that feareth an Oath We praise thee We blesse thee We worship thee We glorifie thee Softly lest you want breath and thank the old Common prayer-book for this and at this time in a more speciall manner with the highest expressions of our devoutest hearts true devotion and your mockery are incompatible We most humbly give thanks unto thee for that thou hast bin pleased out of thine infinite goodnes mercifully to look down upon the late low estate of our gracious Soveraigne Your brethren in London have alwayes told us that the Cavaliers Armies were Potent and Numerous That hast brought him from so much scornefull neglect of his Nephew Rupert and other of his Souldiers that would plunder and commit outrages notwithstanding his Inhibition to appeare so terrible unto those desperate Rebells who dare yet stand in Armes against him ridiculous Thunder-clap will you turne the Kings countenance into a hideous form That thou hast blest him with many and those eminent victories and particularly for those great defeats which by his Armies thou hast given unto his enemies in the North and in the West Rupert Maurice Newcastle and Hopton will tell the truth and shame the devill O Lord God heavenly King God the Father Almighty O Lord the onely begotten Son Jesus Christ continue these thy favours to us of continuall losses and defeats as hitherto you have had O obdurate hearts that pray for wrath and judgement upon themselves and perfect we beseech thee that glorious worke the happy peace of this land which none but thine own strength can finish you plead guiltie and confesse your war inglorious and yet shun that happy Peace And to that end Thou that takest away the sins of the world take this foule sin of Rebellion from us a plain confession but 't is not ingenious because you continue still Rebellious Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father smite through the loynes of those Sacrilegious men who have not spared at all to prophane thy House and thy Service with Atars and Idols Pictures and Images duckings and too much curtesie too much craft So shall we still blesse thy Name in the midst of the great Congregation you meane of Bishops Deanes c. clad in rich Coapes and their Pontificalibus with loud and high sounding musicke So shall wee thy servants never cease to be still praysing thee and saying Thou onely art Holy Thou onely art the Lord Thou onely O Christ with the holy Ghost art most high in the glory of God the Father To thee be all praise and honor glory ascribed world without end Amen Smooth as Butter or Oyle Thou shalt not take Gods Name in vain Exod. 20. Reader observe how fitly the latter part of the 50. Psalme may be applyed to these Prelaticall prayer-mongers and their abbettors from the 16. verse to the end in these words But unto the wicked God saith what hast thou to declare my Sta●●tes or that thou shouldest take my Covenant in thy mouth Seeing thou hatest instruction and castest my words behinde thee When thou sawest a chi●fe then thou consentedst with him and hast been partak●r with Adulterers Thou givest thy mouth to evil and thy tongue frameth deceit Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother
