Upon the whole Matter , We are of Opinion , That the present Farmers have Forfeited their Lease by Non-Payment of their Rent , and by Converting the Markets to other Uses than ought to be by the Covenants contained therein ; and that , according to a Proviso in the said Lease , Five Shillings may be tender'd to avoid the same accordingly , and that the said Markets may be managed by a Committee , according to the aforementioned Act , which We humbly conceive will tend much to the Advantage of the City , and the Ease of the People concerned ; All which we humbly submit to the Wisdom of this Honourable Court.

  The Queenes Majesties propositions to the Kings most Excellent Majesty. Wherein is declared, Her Majesties gracious will and pleasure, concerning the City of London, and His Excellencie Sir Thomas Fairfax, together, with Her Mjaesties desires, touching the discipline of the Church of England, and ease of tender consciences. Briefly intimated in Her Majesties gracious message to the King at Hampton-Court.

summary:
  VVHereas the great neglect of divers persons within the City of London , hath occasioned too many delayes in raising Money for supply of the Army , and other Forces of the Kingdome ; His Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax , and the General-Councell of the Army , Doth declare , That they take notice of the great wants of the Souldiery , both of the Army , and other Forces , and Garrisons ; as also of the sufferings of the County , in respect of free quarter , which might have been peevented , and a course taken for disbanding superfluous Forces , and sending over of others for the reliefe of Ireland , and the supplying of those that are there already , had it not been for neglect or delay of those on whom the Parliament have depended in that particular , and they doe especially take notice of the delayes made by the City in advancing of that summe , which the Houses have demanded of them upon the security of the Arreares so long since due from the City to the Army ; upon which they doe declare , and propound to this effect . Lastly , since it is most evident , that for the speedy bringing in of the money required upon the arrears , there wants not in the said Major , Aldermen , and Common-Councell , either authority to levy it , or ability to advance it by way of Loan till it can be levyed , and it is therefore offered , That in case the Money be not brought in by the time limited , the Parliament would be pleased to give leave to the Generall ( with the advice and directions of the Committee for the Army ) for the levying of the said Arreares All which they rather desire from grounds of reason and evidence from the speeches of many in the City , and designes and hopes of the Parliament and Armies Enemies to raise the Army into distempers , and the Country about them into confusion .

  that King John's Charter was either declarative of the Law as 't was before , or introductive of a new Law. 'T will be urg'd that when the King appointed but one for every County , they were impowr'd to consent to what de Communi Consilio contigerit ordinari , and that such a Council made Laws , as the Statute of the Staple made the 21 of E. 3. to which the answer is very obvious , that they made only Ordinances , not Laws , and that these were Magna Consilia , taken in a sense totally different from the Generalia Concilia , or Parliaments , and all this appears above the power and subtilty of our learned Doctors Evasions , in that the Record cited by himself in the 26 E. 3. calls the Assembly they are Summon'd to , Concilium only , and an Act of Parliament in the twenty eight of that King calls what was done in the twenty seven Ordinances , and that meeting a Great Council , Magnum Concilium ; but such a Council it was , and its Resolutions such meer Ordinances ( the distinction of which from Acts is well known ) that that very next Parliament finds it needful to confirm , and give them the force of a Law.

  A warning from the Lord God of life and power unto thee o city of London, and to the suburbs round about thee : to call thee and them to repentance & amendment of life, without which you cannot see God : be ye separated from your priests, and from your idolatrous worship, and touch not the unclean thing, that the Lord may receive you ... and something also to the scattered seed of God, which hath been held in bondage under Pharaoh the Task-master : who am hated by the unwise, and foolish in heart, and am reproachfully call'd a Quaker / Ester Biddle.

summary:
  what wouldst thou give for peace with God , when thy day shall be turned into darness , & thy table shall be made a snare unto thee , and thou shalt be like the hearth in the Wildernesse , which seeth not when good cometh , thy lovers shall pass away , & trouble shall compass thee round about ; then if thou hadst the whole world thou wouldst give it for peace with God , but then will thy day be sealed up , and there will be no place found for repentance ; therefore I desire thee in the dreadful power of God , put not the day of the Lord afar off , but let the Sword of the Lord cut down , and the fire burn up all that is contrary to God ; and away with thy Idols , down with thy Images , pluck down thy high places , for the Lord will be avenged of thy Groves , thy strong Okes , and tall Cedars , and he will ride upon thy high hills , and thy fenced City will he lay waste ; and he will ease the innocent , and deliver the oppressed , thy prison doors shall be broke up , and the bonds of iniquity burst asunder , the agreement made with hell and death will be disannulled ; and though many of us have been halled out of your Mass-houses , and have been halled before Magistrates , both by Papists and Protestants ; yet know this , that our God in whom we trust , he lives for ever , and he sits as Judge amongst the Gods . remember how the Lord overtook the old world in their evil deeds , he came upon them as a thief in the night , when they little thought of him , he took them eating and drinking , Marrying , and giving in marriage , and he repented that ever he made man upon the Earth , and he overtu●ned them in his fiery wrath , and in his fiery indignation , he spared not Jerusalem , wherein his Temple was built ; and dost thou think that the Lord will spare thee ? I am afraid the Lord will overturn thee in flames of fire , as he did them in their gain-sayings : Therefore amend thy life while it is to day , and prize the short moment of time which thou hast yet to spend , least God cast thee into Hell , which is prepared for the wicked and abominable .

summary:
  The great contrivers of our sad divisions , which abuse the weake reason of the people , to keepe up an unfortunate misunderstanding between King and Subject are not named by the Replicant ; but they are clearely pointed out to be the Chiefe Lords and Commons in Parliament : for he saith , Every new Vote of late hath been a new affliction : and he makes Pennington and the Citty Lecturers to be but Iourney-men Rebels under them : and even this Hellish slander he venteth under the name of the Petitioners , whom he stiles the most considerable persons of the Citty : and at the same time affirmeth , that the people generally are of honest affections . Can the Parliament expresse zeale to peace better then by contracting all its rights and priviledges into one compendious proposition , for the setling of union ? To purchase true peace , the Parliament desires nothing but to retain the meere being of a Parliament ; that is , to be the supreme Court of King and Kingdome .

summary:
  Was not their disobedience disowned with a great deal of fained sorrow , since own'd with a great deal of real Joy ; doth any man know what to make of the Army now , one piece of it is for Paul , and other for Apollos , and an other for Sephaes , but all out of order , all disobedient to the Parliament , ever and anon professing that the Parliament is not yet for their turn ; so that the truth is , and I think all the world can never make it out , that there is any thing to be said for them , but that whilst they were obedient , God honoured them to be Instruments to this poor Kingdom ; which very service makes me pour out many a prayer to God , to pour upon them the spirit of Repentance and Obedience , without which I much doubt of any good by your meeting : for when God comes to enquire after all those things , I am afraid he wil charge upon the Armies disobedience , the new * War you talk of , the accusation of the Imprisoned and banished ones , the renting and tearing in piec●s the Parliament , the City , the whole Kingdom , nay 3 , Kingdoms , the hinderers of Irelands Relief ; promoters of the Famine , both of bread , and of the word of the Lord , and of all the sad Consequences we fear may follow : But I believe the last great turn given to the Parliament by that 1000 Horse , commanded by Major Desborough into Hide Park ( to execute that dreadful Declaration or poysonous purge , of which the Parliament hath never yet recovered , and was such a blow to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to these three Kingdoms ●● cannot yet be paralel'd ) wil require a thorough REPENTANCE : And though we cannot see all the plots and designs of men , yet God knows all the present juglings of this Age ; and we have had so much experience in all the transactions , since this unhappy difference , as to say , surely this putting of the Army thus out of joynt is to try the skil of some or other .

summary:
  To labour in the fire , and to weary themselves for vanity , to lose oleum & operam , cost and paines , is sufficient to bring men to desperation ; Especially when that little which is coming in , doth no good ; when God blows on it , and takes away the nourishing virtues , so that either men dare not eat their fill ▪ for feare of want another day ; or if they do eat , the Staffe of bread being broken for want of Gods concurrence , they are not satisfied A Boulimy , or Canine appetite , being a disease common at such times , when in the fulness of their sufficiency ( as Zophar in Job speaks of the wicked ) they are in streights ; that little is so far from abating , that it encreaseth the Calamity : And so much for the first Particular , the Judgment with the Severity of it . The Heavens are the Storehouses of Gods good treasure , which he openeth to mans profit and nourishment , yet they cannot drop down fatness on the earth , if God close it up , and with-hold the seasonable showers , which he can do if he please , and will do , if he be provoked .

Which pamphlet was not only intended to abuse this author, and some particular persons by name, but the said city also, in the late election of their Parliamentary Members. Thereto is added an antidote against all ill news whatsoever, which proving effectual to many lately reputed phanaticks, may possibly be vertual to some other. Jeers will be self-condemned, and stingless if contemned. G. W.

summary:
  The Least in Sight , and the Excuse , and that the Paynought ( that approved , and well appointed Pinnace ) shall accompany them ; and that the charge and command of them be committed and confirmed on Robert Owe-much , who shall man them with persons best qualified in the Art of Insolvency , the greater part whereof the said Robert hath known , and tryed to be men of much Trust , being his own Creditors , and Creatures of his own making , and that he requite some of them , by bestowing on them Employments under his Command ; for Example , let his Mercer be made Master of the Least in Sight , and his Baker , Boat-Swain ; as for his Vintner , because he bestowed many a shot upon him in his prosperity , let him be made Master-Gunner in adversity ; and that he may make his Enemies to Smoak , let his Tobacco-man be Gunner's-Mate ; let his Taylor ( having the best Stomach for action ) be made Steward and have charge of the Victual for the Voyage . In which place to divert my self and boon associates , I formed this supposed Voyage from Lambeth to the Bridge on one side , and back again the other , recounting all remarkables between the two Shores ; the one whereof ( on the City side ) I call the Christian , on Southwark side the Turkish or Barbarian . Towards Cape-verd ( or Greens-wharse near Chairing-cross ) I have somewhat sharply censur'd the idle humors of some ; but I protest none but such who deserve the severest censure : Men that are so onely in appearance , and Gentlemen by their gaudy apparel ; who having little to live on but their shifts , imploy all the time they can spare from Drinking and Whoring , in racking their Wits to indulge their sensuality by any means whatever .

By Stephen Marshall, B.D. Minister of Gods Word at Finchingfield in Essex.

summary:
  That the Lord doth sometimes leave his owne people to bee under the tyranny of them that hate them : I say his own people ( for this was Emanuels land , you 'l read it called by the very name of Emmanuel in the eighth chapter ) the Assyrian shall come and fill the breadth of thy land O Emmanuel ; they were Emmanuels people that should have these terrible yokes put upon them : to understand this lesson , bee pleased to premise thus much ; That it is of all judgements one of the most terrible and uncomfortable that ever a people can be exposed to , to have those that hate them to tyrannize over them , that was Davids prayer , I have done justice and judgement , give me not up to mine oppressors : O Lord deliver mee from that judgement , that I bee not left to wicked men , to put yokes upon my neck , to beate my shoulders ; and God used to threaten it as one of the severest plagues that ever should come upon his people , when hee was angry with them , that hee would give them up , that they that hated them should beare rule over them : and truely it will easily appeare to bee one of the terriblest judgements of all , because it is a misery that is opposite and contrary to the greatest mercy that can bee enjoyed upon earth ; which is to have rulers and governors , such as are over a people , to bee as a Sun or a Shield , as a Shepheard , as a Protector , as a Father , for these are names whereby the Spirit of God deseribes good Magistrates & rulers , to give such to a people as may defend every one in his own right , protect the fatherlesse and widow , and see that every one have justice and judgement , that there may be no complaining in the streets of a people ; but that they may live and serve God in godlinesse and honesty , in peace , to bee preserved in security and tranquillity , O happy are the people that are in such a case , faith the Spirit of God in the 144. Psalme ; now if this bee the greatest earthly mercy , then for God to give up a people , or to let them be given up to the judgement that is contrary to it , that their shepheards should bee like them in the 34. of Ezekiel , who should kill the fat , and tread under feet the leane , that should pluck off the wooll , and teare off the skinne ; that should bee as they are described in the 7. of Micah , as briars and thornes that should rend and teare the people that are under them , when the Lord shall give men up to such a condition , that those that should defend them , should enter into the field of the fatherlesse , and undoe a man and his neighbour , without mercy and compassion , this of all judgements in the world is one of the cruellest , and the heaviest that a people can bee given up to : now I tell you that God sometimes leaves his owne people to this condition , there are abundance of examples , and I should spend the time needlesly to receite them to you , because you cannot bee ignorant of them ; so they were in Egypt , when their lives were made burdensome to themselves , by reason of the heavy yoke of bondage that lay upon them ; so they were in the times of the Iudges , oftentimes an enemy comes in , carries away the harvest that they are ready to reape , sometimes carries away the corne they had gather'd into their barnes , mightily oppressed them , put heavy yokes upon them ; so was it in Babylon , if you reade but the fifth of Lamentations , it will make you weep to consider the sad complaint that the Church makes there , Our inheritance is turned to strangers , our houses to aliants , wee have drunke our water for money , our wood is sold unto us , our necks are under persecution , we labour and have no rest , servants rule over us ; wee eate our bread with the perill of our lives , Princes are hanged up by the hand , young men are taken to grinde , and the children fell under the wood , &c. such abundance of examples there are that I shall not need to prove it , onely let me a little discover to you out of the Word , for what causes the Lord uses to leave his owne people to this terrible judgement : I finde three cleer causes why God oftentimes hath left his own people to be given up to oppressors , to Tyrants , to put such heavy yokes upon their necks , their states , their consciences , their liberties , and the first & greatest & most frequent is when God himself offer'd to be the King and ruler of his people , to put the yoke of his government upon their necks , a yoke that should be sweet and easie , honorable & profitable , and his people cast off Gods yoke , would not be under that , then hath the Lord frequently let them fall under the yoke of some others , that they might know the difference betwixt being Gods servants , and the servants of other men ; take but two instances of this , one in the 2 Chronicles 12. This then for the meaning of it , That whatsoever enemies should rise up against the Church or people of God , however they may keepe them under for a while , Christ hath a purpose , and will in his owne due time break them , and their yokes in peeces , and he will doe it in a strange way , by his own hand , in a way that shall bee very easie to him to worke , but very hard for them ; either to resist or to beare .

'T is true , the Common , and generally all men in Authority , are inclin'd to enlarge their own Jurisdiction , and stretch it as far as possible ; but sure a bare Vote of that House in favour of themselves , or a late practice never heard of in former Ages , shall not be of force enough in any Court of Justice to elude the solemn Acts of King and Parliament . To which the Bishop of Canterbury answer'd by the Kings command , That the Commons are Petitioners and Demanders , and that the King and Lords always had , and of right shall have the Judgments in Parliament , even as the Commons themselves have shewed ; saving that in Statutes to be made , or Grants and Subsidies , or such things as are to be done for the publick profit of the Realm , the King will have especially their advice and assent , 1 H. 4. Rol. Parl n. 79. Who now is to be believ'd , Sir Edward Coke attributing to the Commons , or the Commons themselves wholly disclaiming all Power of Judicature ? Or shall a single Lawyers Ipse dixit , or proofless assertion , be of greater weight , than so solemn a Declaration upon Record , approv'd off by King , Lords , and Commons ?

Langhorn, now a prisoner, and condemned for the horrid Popish Plot, concerning the great fire : wherein is plainly proved, that the papists were the contrivers and actors in the burning of that great and noble city.

  To which he answered ; I know not whether it be the hottest for Weather or Action : The said Yaxley , coming to the same House , the week after the Fire , Mr. Kitely said to him with some trouble ; I have often thought upon your hot Thursday , To which she replyed , It was not indeed upon the Thursday but it hapned upon the Sunday come sevennnigt after ; Mr. Yaxley bearing these Evidences produced against her , prompted her to avoid the words , saying , that upon the 13th of August , she did tell Mr. Kitely , That they say next Thursday , will be the darkest Thursday , that ever was in England , but not otherwise ; Which she affirms to have received from one Fynchman . Mr. Freeman of Southwark Brewer , whose House there was lately burned , informs , that the same day his House was fired , about a quarter of an hour before three , was found a paper with a Ball of Wild-fire , containing near a pound wrap'd up in it , in the nave of a wheel , in an outer house , where lay a great quantity of Timber ; how this house was fired he knoweth not ; but this he affirms to the Committee , it could not be by accident , because there had not been any Candle or Fire in the House where the Hay lay , that whole day ; and the Hay being laid up before Midsummer very dry , it could not possibly be set on fire within it self ; and moreover , he said , the Hay-loft was on fire on the top of the House , and that the Fire spread from one end of the Roof to the other in an instant . Mr. Richard Harwood saith , That he being near the Feathers Tavern by St. Pauls , on the fourth of September , something like Wild-fire by the sparkling and spitting of it , appeared , whereof he gave notice to some Souldiers there , who caused it to be quenched .

summary:
  This is that others see , although you see it not : and that which you cry up as the onely way of Peace and Libertie , others see it to be the high way of bondage and ruine ; give them therefore Libertie to save you with feare pulling you out of the fire , &c. Fourthly , That they might once see this poore bleeding and dying Kingdome delivered from its oppressions and burdens , and established in its just Rights and Freedomes ; and this is that which God will effect , whatever shall say him nay , although at present to many , the remedie seems worse then the disease , yet the end shall be glorious . Object . Thirdly , That by this means the Justice of God may be taken off the Kingdome , which is not like to be , untill justice be executed ; for God is a just God and will make inquisition for blood ; and blood cryeth for blood , and it s far better justice take hold of a few , if God so please , then of many thousands as must be expected , if justice be not executed ; for believe it , the way of the Treatie is the high way of ruine even to those who cry it up , work it and manage it , and you will finde the Army to be in the hands of God , your saviours in delivering you from it .

  With this learned Oration the Cobler was tutord : layd his singer on his mouth , and cried paucos palabros : he had sealed her pardon , and therefore bid her not feare : héervpon he named the malefactor , I could name him too , but that he shall liue to giue more Coblers heads the Bastinado . And told , that on such a night when he supt there ( for a Lord may sup with a clobler , that hath a pretty wench to his wife ) when the cloth , O treachero●s linnen ! was taken vp , and Menelaus had for a parting blow , giuen the other his fist : downe she lights ( this half-sharer ) opening the wicket , but not shutting him out of the wicket , but conu●is him into a byroom ( being the wardrob of old shooes and leather ) from whence the vnicorne cobler ( that dream● of no such spirits ) being ouer head and eares in sléepe , his snorting giuing the signe that he was cock-sure , softly out-steales sir Paris , and to Helenaes téeth prooued himselfe a true Troian . Ianus ( that beares two faces vnder one hood ) made a very mannerly lowe legge , and ( because he was the onely Porter at that gate ) presented vnto this King of the Moneths , all the New-yeares gifts , which were more in number , and more worth then those that are giuen to the great Turke , or the Emperour of Persia : on went Vertumnus in his lustie progresse , Priapus , Flora , the Dryades , and Ha●●adryades , with all the woodden rabble of those that drest Orchards & Gardens , perfuming all the wayes that he went , with the swéete Odours that breathed from flowers ; hearbes and trées , which now began to péepe out of prison : by vertue of which excellent aires , the skie got a most cleare completion ; lookte s●●g and smoothe , and had not so much as a wart st●●king on her face : the Sunne likewise was freshly and very richly apparelled in cloth of gold like a Bridegroome , and in stead of gilded Rosemary , the hornes of the Ramme , ( being the signe of that celestiall bride house where he lay , to be marryed to the Spring ) were not like your common hornes parcell gilt , but double double-gilt , with the liquid gold that melted from his beames , for ioy wereof the Larke sung at his windowe euery morning , the Nightingale euery nighte the Cuckooe ( like a single sole Fidler , that réeles from Tauerne to Tauerne ) plide it all the day long : Lambes friskte vp and downe in the vallies , Kids and Goates leapt too and fro on the Mountaines : Shepheards sat piping , country wenches singing : Louers made Sonnets for their Lasses , whilest they made Garlands for their Louers : And as the Country was frolike , so was the Citie mery : Oliue Trées ( which grow no where but in the Garden of peace ) stood ( as common as Béech does at Midsomer ) at euery mans doore , braunches of Palme were in euery mans hand : Stréetes were full of people , people full of ioy : euery house séemde to haue a Lorde of misrule in it , in euery house there was so much ●ollity : no Scritch-Owle frighted the silly Countryman at midnight , nor any Drum the Citizen at noone-day ; but all was more calme than a still water , all husht , as if the Spheres had bene playing in Consort :

  Londons liberties, or, A learned argument of law and reason, before the Lord Mayor, Court of Aldermen, and Common-Council, at Guild-Hall between Mr. Maynard, now the Kings eldest serjeant at law, Mr. Hales, late Lord Chief Justice of the Kings Bench, and Mr. Wilde, lately one of the justices of the same court, of council for the Livery-men of London, and Major John Wildman, and Mr. John Price, of council for the Freemen of London : wherein the freedom of the citizens of London in their elections of their mayor, sheriffs, aldermen, and common-council-men, is fully debated, their most ancient charters examined, and on both hands agreed to be but a confirmation of their former rights : with their opinions concerning the forfeiture of Londons charter.

summary:
  , it is said men of every Ward did Choose : whence I Collect that by the expression of the Commonalty summoned hereto , is understood the Twelve Men from the Wards ; so that it appeareth clearly in my humble Opinion , That it was the Practice of the City for near two hundred Years , to Choose by their Representatives , before it came to be the Usage of the City , to Choose by the Livery-men of the Companies . A●d indeed it is well that you are both Judges and Parties ; they said , and doubtless they are ingenious , that they desire you to proceed according as you should be satisfied in conscience , the which for my part I doubt not but that you will ; there was much said how much it did behove you in point of danger ; but what that danger is I understand not ; but he tels you he urged it out of zeal ; also he tels you much of some secret Absolom ; but for my part I understand not what , nor who he means hereby ; I will take no advantage of any mans affection nor inclinations at all ; but the man which that Gentlemen spake to the business in hand , was that he cited many precedents and records for the practice of what he now desireth my be effected ; But truly I do extreamly much misunderstand those presidents and Records that he produceth , If that they are not as full against them , as any thing can be said .

summary:
  SHEWETH , THat the present sense of our miseries , and apprehension of inevitable ruine both of the Church and Common-wealth , make us to become humble suitors to this Honourable Assembly ( the likeliest means under God for our reliefe ) to consider our distressed estates , and to provide a speedy remedy for our present and future evills , earnestly desiring you to weigh the care and Iudgement of our Predecessors , who by a known Law , setled and preserved our Protestant Religion , our Liberties , and Properties , with a right understanding between King and Subjects , which produced peace and plenty in our Streets . This we conceive a more equall way , then for two of the Estates ( especially when the major part by fear of tumults and Armies is absent ) to judge by no rule but their own votes of the Rights of the third : to whom if it may be allowed to be sole arbitrary Iudges both of Iustice and Policy , both of what is due to you , and fit for you , both from King and Subjects , the accommodation that is left can only be this ; that , so you may have all that your selves desire , you are contented to endure peace , and such an one indeed you had hard hearts , if you would not accept .

  A short narrative of the late dreadful fire in London together vvith certain considerations remarkable therein, and deducible therefrom : not unseasonable for the perusal of this age written by way of letter to a person of honour and virtue.

summary:
  Famine , Fire , beyond this bound yee shall not pass . Which considered , there may several particulars be mentioned which might subserve to this ruine ; As first the general and malicious conjunctions of enemies ab●o●d who knowing London the Governments Epitome , the Copy from the life of this Empires Majesty , the second Throne of Rega● Glory , the readiest and most certain supply of all necessaries for Offence or Defence , the great Sanctury of Protestantisme , the almost all of Great Britain , this so combined in London to her Soveraigns lustre , the Nations supply , and her opposites disappointment , might rationally originate evill thoughts against her , and thence evil practises upon her , and as the chief and most fatal to her this of Fire ; which as it hastneth the spoil , so both terrifieth the inhabitants , and gives rise through the suddenness of its confusion to any discontented numbers in her , whose designs being tenebrious , and their Partizans lewd and desperate , can have no sitter an opportunity to act a Sicilian Vespers , or a Parisian Massacre in , then in that mist and fog of danger and inconsideration , wherein every ones particular concern becomes a neglect of the publick , and the Nerves , Sinews , and Arteries of Governments contexture become shrivelled ●p , and by reason of their violent Convulsions , incorrespondent to their general designment ; This wa● one of those evils that might have made , and probably was designed to make the time of the Fire more fatal than God in goodness suffered it to prove ; for since contemptor propriae vitae Magister tuae is a true rule , and it is riveted in the corrupt nature of man to revenge injuries by destruction of the Soul , body , substance and being of enemies , and mens ambitions are most keen in exploits for their Countreys , to cause good to which , a Great spirit would not only beg off a believed curse , as that Venetian Senator did the Popes interdiction of Venice , with a Rope about his neck , lying like a dog at the Popes feet , and not being to be drawn thence till he obtained it , but with Codrus dye to obtain his Countreps liberty , I say considering that policy tempts power to scruple little , that is , its advantage , and that where ever there is mony to give , there will be service to exchange for it , be the fact as horrid and sanguinary as that of Faux or any like it ; and considering that no mischief done us can amount to any thing like this to London , it is not improbable but that this Fire might be first kindled in the revenge , and then lighted further by the hands of miscreants hired thereunto ; for did not Herostratus a base Fellow , purely to have a name for villany , set on fire the famous Temple of Ephesus , the worlds wonder ? &c. Did not Iudas the Gaulomite , and Sadoc the Pharisee , with his lewd comorades , set on fire the Temple of Ierusalem ? For whereas he Marched against Ierusalem of old , charging her from his pale horse of fury , bringing truculent and bloudy Enemies against it : Romans , Syrians , Arabians , all which accompanyed ●espasian against it , and that then when there were 270000 Jews which came to Sacrifice , shut up by the siege in it as in a Prison , and were slain and starved during the siege and at its rendition , whereof 600000. were cast out of the City in such distress that a Bushel of Wheat was sold for a talent which is 600 Crowns , and the dung and raking of the City sinks was ●●●d good Commons , and necessity made a Mother kill her Child and dress it , and whereas the dead Bodies lay so thick , that the way by them was not passable , the whole City flowing with bloud ; so that many parts set on fire were quenched by the bloud of them that were slain , and after all the City was burned , whereas God thus punished Ierusalem by giving it a Cup of trembling , and filling it brimful with deadly Poyson , leaving no remnant from which succession should arise , or rebuilding , and re-inhabitation become probable and effective , yet to the praise of the glory of his Grace be it written , and be this loving kindness of the Lord never forgotten by London .

  A lamentation taken up for London that late flourishing city, a bitter, yea a bitter lamentation over all her inhabitants yet living within and about her borders, and over all her rulers and mighty men, who are fled from her as from a murtherer, with good counsel and advice, from the spirit of the Lord to all, that they may turn unto him before the vials of his wrath be poured out for their utter destruction. By a lover of truth and righteousness: Thomas Greene.

summary:
  This was signified unto me by the Spirit of the Lord when I was in his dreadful fear , overshadowed with his Heavenly power , and I waited to see it effected , or a return to the Lord by cealing from unrighteousness , which most of all I desired , that he might have diverted his intended Judgments ; But Oh how hast thou dishonoured his name , and walked after thy own hearts lusts , as those that have forgotten the Lord dayes without number , and hast not humbled thy self before him , but hast regarded iniquity , and walked in cruelty , against the Lord and his poor people , and hast walked proudly , so that many of thy Inhabitants scarcely knew what to eat , or to drink , or what to put on , and yet a professing people , having on you the name of Christians , but are seen of all those whose eyes are open to be in the nature of Heathens , Turks , or Infidels , who are not found in the nature of Christ , who came not to destroy mens lives but to save them ; but on the contrary thy Rulers and Magistrates with their attendance , have been found persecuting and imprisoning , knocking down , and wounding even some unto death a peaceable people that fear the Lord , that he hath raised up in these last dayes to be as signes and wonders , whose residence and dwelling is amongst you ; who have but testified against unrighteousness , and assembled themselves together as the antient Christians in the dayes of old , who feared the Lord , and thought upon his Name ; and when all this Cruelty would not do nor bring them down , whom God hath raised up ; then was invented in thee another way , thou didst see thy pomp and greatness would do thee no good while these people called Quakers were among you , their Laws being divers from thy Laws , their Worship to thy Worship ; then thou hast concluded with the rest of the Rulers of the Land , even as Haman who said , it 's not for the Kings profit to let them live among us ; then this cruel Edict was invented in thy Borders to make such a Law as thou might be sure to find these people transgressors of , that thou mightest say as those unworthy Jewes , who said , Wee have a Law , and by our Law Christ ought to die . Oh this your Law will not excuse you before the Lord who seeth your insides , and will judge you according as your works are , not by the sight of the eye nor by the hearing of the ear , but he will enter into righteous judgement with you , for he is determined to plead with all flesh to bring down the haughty , and to lay the lofty low ; and for all thy transgressions and cruelties God is now risen to plead with thee ; for thou hast been the womb in the which cruelty without mercy hath been conceived , thy Rulers with their Allies have been examples to all cruel minded men thorough the Nation , therefore must thou drink a bitter cup , and into thy hand hath the Lord first put it ; for when thou began to banish ( by that late devised Law ) those people out of the Land that feared the Lord , and durst not mak shipwrack of their faith , and of a good conscience ; then did the Lord begin with thee , and poured out his Plagues upon very few , as thou beganest first to banish two or three of the people of the Lord ;

  An express from the knights and gentlemen now engaged with Sir George Booth to the city and citizens of London, and all other free-men of England.

summary:
  Worthy CITIZENS , and all other our English FREE-MEN and BRETHREN , AS we are English-men we are all incorporated into one Body , and though distinct and different Families , Fortunes , and Qualities , yet fellow Members and Coheirs of one and the same Birthright ; not onely by nature , as we are the Sons of men , ( nature obliging all in one Common and equal Bond of Freedom and Unity , ) but by certain sacred Laws and Customes of peculiar and inherent Right to this Nation ; general , equal , and impartial to all , without respect of persons , rank , quality , or degree , derived through all successions of Ages , by the blood Justice and Prudence of our Fore-fathers to us their posterity , as ours , and the Right of our Children after us , not disinheritable : though this Age were wholly made up of Apostates and Traytors to Common Justice and Freedom , and should make sale of , and deliver up their Children as slaves and vassails , yet English Right abideth , to wit , our just Lawes and Liberties , and may justly be reinforced as opportunity may present ; Sometimes they sleep but never dye , their total Extinguishment is not to be imagined so long as any English-man , or English-blood abideth : and whoever undertaketh , ( though by Arms , or otherwise , ) their recovery and redemption is justified in that very Action by the Laws of God , of Nations , Nature , Reason , and by the Laws of the Land ; and within the Bowels of our Nation amongst our selves no War can be justified , but upon that score , the contrary is Sedition , Murder , Treason , Tyranny and what not , and the Instruments thereof no other in the Eye of English Freedom and Right , but as Bears , Wolves , and other Beasts of prey . Therefore we beseech you , we conjure you as English men , to stand by your Native Countrey , and your Countreys Cause : Our voyce is , and it is no other than the Consent and Voyce of the People , A New Free Parliament , A New Free Parliament ; it is the English mans main Birthright , which we are resolved to put the People in possession of , or to perish with our Swords in our hands .

  A declaration of a small society of baptized believers, undergoing the name of Free-willers, about the city of London

  To this we cannot but answer , that so to●…e Judge were not so much as Common humanity , much less religion or Christianity ; but our Religion is , pure and undefi●… before God and our father , which is to visit the fatherless and widdowes , not to make fatherless and widdowes ; and to visit them in ●…eir afflictions , not to murther and destroy their Relations , to bring them under afflictions : but to this we further answer , that t●… and the fourth particular we judge seem to contradict one another , for murthering and destroying for difference in matters of R●…igion , and liberty of conscience cannot stand together , nor in the eye of reason can they be charged against one and the same per●…ns , for murthering and destroying for difference in matters of religion , destroyes liberty of conscience , & liberty of conscience sw●…ows up & drowns murthering , & destroying for difference in matters of religion ; so that it argues , that the assertors of these things ●…re yet in Babylon and confusion , with those our Apostle writ of ; in 1 Tim. 1.7 . To the second , That we would destroy the publick Ministry of the Nation , that differ from us in some things about Religion ; We do declare , that if there be a destruction intended between us , we must leave it at their doors , and desire them to Judge between the al-seeing God the searcher of all hearts and their own consciences , what they have intended by their so often pressing Parliament men from time to time , for a suppression of all that are not of their Judgment in matters of Religion : and upon search made , if they find themselves guilty of a desire of any such destruction to us , we shall beg them in Gods fear , to break off that evil by timely repentance , and make their pe●ce with God ; as for our parts , we are so far from desiring any revenge against them , or any other that shall desire or endeavour our ruin , as that in the presence of God , we shall rather pitty then envie them , and according to the requirement of our Law-giver , Mat. 5.44 .

summary:
  But if houses for sin alone were sunke , and fuel for lust only were consumed , it would not be so much ; but the houses also for Gods worship , ( which formerly were a bulwark against the fire , partly through the walls about them , partly through the fervent prayers within them ) now are devoured by the flames , and the habitations of many who truly fear God , have not escaped ; and in the places where God hath been served , and his servants have lived ; now nettles are growing ; owles are screeching ; thieves and cut-throats are lurking : A sad face there is now in the ruinous part of London : and terrible hath the voice of the Lord been , which hath been crying , yea roaring in the City by these dreadful judgments of the Plague and Fire , which he hath brought upon us . It was an extraordinary hand of God which brought the plague , of which no natural cause can be assigned , why it should be so great that year , more then in former years , but that sin was grown to greater heighth ; and that a fire should prevaile , against all attempts to quench it , to burn down the City , and that judgment just following upon the heels of the other ; what reason can be assigned , but that Englands sins , and Gods displeasure hath been extraordinary ; God is a God of patience , and it is not a light thing will move him ; he is slow to anger , it must needs be then some great provocation which makes him so furious ; he is highly offended , before he lifts up his hand ; and he is exceedingly incens'd , before his anger breaks forth into such a flame ; for my part , I verily think , if it had not been for the crying abominations of the times , which are not chiefly to be limited to the City of London , and if the means of Gods prescription , according to the Rule of his Word , which England sometime could , had by England been made use of , that both Plague and Fire had been prevented .

  Lex ignea, or, The school of righteousness a sermon preached before the King, Octob. 10, 1666, at the solemn fast appointed for the late fire in London / by William Sandcroft ...

summary:
  To make short , Righteousness or Justice , though elsewhere a single Vertue , yet here 't is vittually All : — 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , said the Poet ; and the Philosopher after him , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , not a part , but all Vertue : and so often both in Scripture , and Fathers , comprehensively all Religion , the whole Duty of Man. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , saith S. Chrisostome : Omnes Virtutum species uno Justitiae nomine , saith S. Jerome . And now what shall I say more , if all that hath been said hitherto , prove ineffectual ? The Text affords yet one Expedient as the Chaldee Paraphrast may seem to have understood it : Because thy Judgment , saith he ( not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as in the Hebrew , but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Jews call it , and S. Jude from them , The Judgment of the great Day ) because that Judgment , though not as yet in the Earth , is yet fixt , and appointed , and prepared for all the Earth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the Hebrew it self too , for rather than in the Earth ) therefore most certainly , if at all , or for any thing , the Inhabitants of the World will learn Righteousness .
