EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

O

Gentle
Sir
,
you
are
well
met
,
and
welcom
to
England
,
I
am
heartily
glad
of
your
safe
arrivall
,
hoping
now
to
apprehend
some
happie
opportunity
whereby
I
may
requite
part
of
those
worthy
favours
I
received
from
you
in

places

Peregrin
.
Sir
,
I
am
as
joyfull
to
see
you
,
as
any
friend
I
have
upon
earth
;
but
touching
favours
,
they
deserve
not
such
an
acknowledgment
,
I
must
confesse
my self
to
be
farr
in
the
arrear
,
therfore
you
teach
me
what
I
shold
speak
to
you
in
that
point
:
But
amongst
other
offices
of
Friendship
you
have
bin
pleased
to
do
me
from
time
to
time
,
I
give
you
many
thanks
for
the
faithfull
correspondence
you
have
held
withme
,
since
the
time
of
our
separation
,
by
intercours
of
Letters
,
the
best
sort
of
fuell
to
warm
affection
,
and
to
keep
life
in
that
noble
vertue
Friendship
,
which
they
say
abroad
,
is
in
danger
to
perish
under
this
cold
Insulary
clime
for
want
of
practise
.
Patricius
.
Truely
,
Sir
,
you
shold
have
had
an
account
of
matters
hence
more
amply
and
frequently
,
but
that
of
late
it
hath
bin
usuall
,
and
allowed
by
authority
,
to
intercept
and
break
open
any
Letters
;
but
private
men
need
not
complain
so
much
,
since
the
dispatches
of
Ambassadors
,
whose
P●…ckets
shold
be
held
as
sacred
as
their
Persons
,
h●…ve
bin
commonly
open'd
,
besides
some
outrages
offered
their
houses
and
servants
;
nay
,
since
their
Maj●…sties
Letters
under
the
Cabinet
Signet
have
bin
broke
up
,
and
other
counterfeit
ones
printed
and
published
in
their
names
.
Peregrin
.
Indeed
I
must
confesse
the
report
hereof
hath
kept
a
great
noise
abroad
,
and
England
hath
suffered
much
in
point
of
national
repute
in
this
particular
;
for
even
among
Barbarians
,
it
is
held
a
kind
of
sacriledge
to
open
Letters
;
nay
,
it
is
held
a
baser
kind
of
burglary
,
then
to
break
into
a
House
,
Chamber
,
or
Closet
:
for
that
is
a
plundering
of
outward
things
onely
,
but
he
who
breaks
open
ones
Letters
which
are
the
Idea's
of
the
mind
,
may
be
said
to
rip
up
his
brest
,
to
plunder
and
rifle
his
very
brain
,
and
rob
him
of
his
most
pretious
and
secretest
thoughts
.
Patricius
.
Well
,
let
us
leave
this
distastfull
subject
,
when
these
fatall
commotions
cease
,
this
custom
,
I
hope
,
will
be
abhorred
in
England
:
But
now
,
that
you
are
newly
arrived
,
and
so
happily
met
,
I
pray
be
pleased
t●…
make
me
partaker
of
some
forraign
news
,
and
how
the
squares
go
betwixt
France
and
Spain
,
those
two
great
wheels
,
that
draw
after
their
motion
(
some
more
,
some
lesse
)
all
the
rest
of
the
Western
world
:
and
when
you
have
done
,
I
will
give
you
account
of
the
state
of
things
in
England
.
Peregrin
.
I
thought
you
had
so
abounded
with
domestick
news
,
that
you
had
had
no
list
or
leisure
to
hear
any
forrain
;
but
to
obey
your
commands
,
you
know
that
I
have
been
any
time
these
six
years
a
Land-loper
up
and
down
the
world
,
and
truly
I
could
not
set
foot
on
any
Chr●…stian

was

perfect
condition
of

it
was

appear'd

some
malevolent

ang●…y
ill-aspected

hath
had
the
predominance
ever
since
,
and
by
it's
maligne
influxes

made
strange
unusuall

upon
the
humors
of
subjects
,
by
inci●…ing
them
to
such
insurrections
,
revolts
,
and
tumults
;
which
caused
a
Jewish
Rabbi
to
say
lately
,
that
it
seems
the
grand
Turk
thrives
extraordinarily
in
his
devotions
,
it
being
one
of
his
prime
prayers
to
Mahomet
,
that
he
shold
prevaile
with
God
Almighty
to
continue
disentions
still
among
Christian
Princes
.
And
truly
,
as
the
case
stands
,
one
may
say
,
that
the
Europaean
world
is
all
in
pieces
;
you
know
well
with
what
fearfull
fits
of
a
high
burning
fever
poor
Germany
hath
been
long
shaken
,
which
hath
wrought
a
Lethargie
in
some
of
her
members
,
by
wasting
of
the
vital
spirits
which
shold
diffuse
themselves
equally
through
that
great
body
;
and
how
she
st●…ll
●…ostereth
a
cold
Northern
Guest
(
the

within

bosom
,
and
is
in
〈◊〉
fear

the
Levant
:
In

Netherlands
one
shall
hear
the
half-starv'd
souldier
murmur
in
every
corner
,
and
railing
against
his
King
,
and
ready
to
mutiny
for
want
of
pay
.
In

you
shall
see
the
poor
Asinin

half
weary
of
his

his
face
being
so
〈◊〉

ever

little

God

The

knows
how
Savoy

;
Nay
,
Spain
,
who
hath
been
so
dexterous
to
put
her
neighbours
ogether
by
the
eares
,
and
to
foment
war
a
far
off
,
to
keep
her
own
home
secure
,
is
now
her self
in
the
midst
of
two
fearfull
fires
,
kindled
on
both
sides
of
her
by
quite-revolted
subjects
,
viz.
the
Portugues
and
Cat
alan
,
which
so
puzzles
her
,
that
shee
cannot
tell
what
Saint
to
pray
unto
.
The
Venetian
also
,
with
the
pope
,
and
all
the
Princes
of
Italy
,
are
arming
apace
;
the
Hollander
onely
,
Salamander
like
,
thrives
in
these
flames
:
and
as
I
have
heard
of
some
that
by
a
long
habitu●…l

could
feed
on
poyson
,
and
turn
it
to

,
so
Hans
alone
can
turn

and
grow

.
Now
,
Sir
,
being
weary
of
eating
my
bread
in
such
a
distracted
world
abroad
,
and
hoping
to
take
some
sweet
repose
in
England
,
I
find
that
shee
is
in
as
bad
a
case
,
if
not
worse
,
then
any
other
.
So
much
news
I
give
you
in
a
lump
,
I
will
be
more
particular
with
you
som
other
time
,
if
you
please
to
spare
me
now
.
Patricius
.
I
hear
,
not
without
much
resentment
,
these
pithy
expressions
you
have
been
pleased
to
make
of
the
torn
estate
of
Europe
abroad
;
and
since
you
mention
that
blazing
Star
,
I
remember
what
a
Noble
Knight
told
me
some
yeers
ago
,
That
the
Astronomers
,
who
lay
sentinel
to
watch
the
motion
and
aspect
of
that
Comet
,
observ'd
that
the
tail
of
it
having
pointed
at
divers
Climats
,
at
last
it
seem'd
to
look
directly
on
these
North-west
I
lands
,
in
which
posture
it
spent
it selfe
,
and
so
extinguish'd
;
as
if
thereby
it
meant
to
tell
the
world
,
that
these
Islands
should
be
the
Stage
whereupon
the
last
act
of
the
Tragedie
should
be
play'd
.
And
how
many
Scenes
have
passed
already
,
both
here
and
in
Ireland
,
we
know
,
God
wot
,
by
too
too
wofull
and
fresh
experience
.

There
is
a
saying
When
your
neighbours
house
is
on
fire
,
by
it's
light
you
may
see
in
what
danger
your
own
stands
:
And
was
England
so
blind
and
blockish
,
as
not
to
take
warning
by
so
many
fearfull
combustions
abroad
?
When
I
took
my
leave
last
of
her
,
I
left

both

The
Court
was
never
so
glorious
,
being
hanselld
every
yeer
almost
with
a
new
Roya●…
off-spring
;
the
Gentry
no
where
more
gallan●…
and
sportfull
;
the
Citizen
never
more
gorgeous
and
rich
,
and
so
abounding
with
treasure
,
bullion
and
buildings
,
that
no
age
can
parallel
;
Commerce
,
inward
and
outward
was
never
at
that
height
;
the
customes
increasing
every
yeer
to
admiration
;
the
narrow
Seas
were
never
guarded
with
braver
Ships
,
nor
the
navie
Royall
for
number
of
vessels
and
magazines
of
all
sorts
of
materials
was
ever
so
well
replenished
;
the
Universities
had
never
such
springing
dayes
:
and
lastly
,
the
Church
did
so
flourish
,
that
amongst
the
rest
of
the
reformed
Churches
of
Christendome
,
I
have
heard
her
call'd
the
Church
triumphant
.
Besides
,
Ireland
was
arriv'd
almost
to
the
same
degree
of
prosperity
,
for
all
the
arrerages
of
the
Crowne
were
paid
,
and
not
a
peny
sent
hence
for
many
yeeres
to
maintain
the
standing
army
there
,
or
for
any
other
publick
charge
,
as
formerly
;
Trafique
came
to
that
mighty
height
of
encrease
,
that
in
few
years
the
Crown
customes
and
imposts
came
to
be
five
times
higher
.
In
fine
,
Ireland
was
brought
not
only
to
subsist
of
her selfe
,
but
inabled
to
contribut
towards
the
filling
of
the
English
Exchequer
,
and
to
make
some
retribution
of
those
vast
expences
the
Crown
of
England
hath
been
at
any
time
these
400
yeeres
to
reduce
her
to
civility
;
her
boggs
were
almost
all
dry'd
up
,
and
made
good
land
▪
her
mudde-walls
turn'd
apace
to
Brick
in
divers
places
,
so
that
in
one
Sommer
that
I
fortun'd
to
be
there
,
above
50.
new
Brick-houses
were
built
in
one
Towne
.
But
it
hath
been
the
fate
of
that
Island
,
to
be
〈◊〉
neer
a
condition
of
a
setled
,
happiness
,
and
yet
to
have
some
odd
accident
still
intervene
to
crosse
it
.
In
conclusion
,
there
wanted
nothing
to
make
England
and
her
united
Crowns
so
exactly
blessed
,
that
she
might
have
assumed
the
title
of
one
of
the
Fortunat
Islands
.
Good
Lord
,
how
comes
it
to
passe
,
that
she
is
now
fallen
into
such
horrid
distempers
,
and
like
a
distracted
body
,
laying
han●…s
upon
her self
,
would
thrust
the
sword
of
civil
war
into
her
own
bowels
?
I
beseech
you
,
Sir
,
impart
unto
me
the
true
cause
of
this
change
;
for
I
know
none
so
capable
to
do
it
as
your self

First
,
Sir
,
in
the
generall
you
know
,
that
it
is
with
the
Regions
upon
Earth
,
as
it
is
with
those
of
the
Ayre
,
sometimes
we
have
a
clear
azur'd
skie
with
soft
gentle
ventilations
,
and
a
sweet
serenitie
the
whole
Hemesphere
over
;
at
other
times
we
know
the
face
of
the
heavens
is
over-cast
with
frowns
,
with
Frog
vapors
,
and
thick
clouds
of
various
shapes
,
which
look
like
Monsters
,
hovering
up
and
down
,
break
at
last
into
thunder
and
fulgurations
,
and
so
disquiet
and
raise
a
kind
of
war
in
the
Aereall
Common-wealth
.
Just
so
in
the
Regions
that
are
dispers'd
up
and
down
this
earthly
Glo●…e
,
peepled
with
men
(
which
are
but
a
composition
of
the
Elements
)
you
have
sometimes
a
gentle
calm
of
peace
and
quietude
,
with
a
general
tranquillitie
all
the
Countrey
over
;
at
other
times
you
have
ugly
mishapen
clouds
of
jealousies
,
fears
,
and
discontentments
rise
up
,
which
break
out
at
last
into
acts
of
disobedience
,
rebellion
,
and
fury
.
And
as
those
Aereall
Meteors
and
Monsters
above
,
are
ingendered
of
those
watery
fogs
and
mists
which
are
drawn
up
out
of
fennie
and
rotten
low
grounds
here
upon
earth
;
so
in
the
Region
of
the
mind
,
the
ill
vapors
which
ascend
to
the
brain
from
rotten
and
impostumated
hearts
,
from
desperate
and
mal●…-contented
humorists
are
the
causes
of
all
civil
commotions
and
distempers
in
State.
But
they
have
much
to
answer
for
in
the
world
to
come
(
though
they
escape
it
in
this
)
who
for
any
private
interest
or
respect
whatsoever
,
either
of
Promotion
,
Vain-glory
,
Revenge
,
Malice
,
or
Envie
,
will
embroyl
and
plunge
their
own
native
Country
in
any
publick
ingagement
or
civil
war
,
by
putting
a
partition-wall
betwixt
their
soverain
Prince
and
their
fellow-subjects
.
Truely
,
in
my
opinion
,
these
may
be
called
the
worst
kind
of
Betrayers
of
their
Countreys
.
But
I
am
too
far
transported
from
satisfying
your
request
in
relating
the
true
causes
of
these
calamities
,
I
will
now
fall
to
work
,
and
bring
you
to
the
very
source
of
them
.
Ther
is
a
pack
of
perverse
people
(
composed
for
the
most
part
of
the
scummie
and
basest
sort
)
multiplied
in
England
,
who
by
a
kind
of
natural
inclination
,
are
opposit
so
point
blank
to
Monarchy
in
State
,
and
Hierarchy
in
Church
,
that
I
doubt
if
they
were
in
Heven
(
whither
't
is
to
be
fear'd
they
run
a
great
hazard
ever
to
enter
,
it
being
a
rule
,
that
he
who
is
rotten-hearted
to
his
King
,
can
never
be
right-hearted
to
his
Crea●…or
)
I
say
if
these
men
were
in
Heven
,
they
w●…uld
go
near
to
repine
at
the
Monarchical
power
of
God
Almighty
himself
,
as
also
at
the
degrees
of
Angels
,
and
the
postures
of
holiness
in
the
Church
triumphant
.
They
call
every
Crotchet
of
the
brain
,
tenderness
of
conscience
forsooth
:
which
being
well
examined
,
is
nothing
else
but
a
meer
spirit
of
contradiction
,
of
malice
and
disobedience
to
all
higher
powers
which
possesseth
them
.
Ther
are
no
constitutions
either
Ecclesiastical
or
Civil
can
please
them
,
but
they
wold
cast
both
into
such
and
such
a
mould
,
which
their
crack'd
brains
wold
fain
devise
,
yet
are
never
able
to
bring
to
any
perfection
;
They
are
ever
labouring
to
bring
Religion
to
the
dock
,
and
to
be
new
trimm'd
,
but
they
wold
take
down
her
fore-Castle
,
and
scarce
allow
her
the
Kings
Armes
to
adorn
her
:
They
are
great
listners
after
any
Court-news
,
and
prick
up
their
ears
when
any
thing
is
spoken
of
King
,
Queen
,
or
Privie
Councellour
,
and
are
always
ready
,
though
upon
loose
trust
,
to
take
up
any
report
whereby
they
may
whisper
in
conventicles
and
corners
,
and
so
traduce
the
Government
.
These
great
Z●…lots
use
to
look
upon
themselves
most
commonly
through
multiplying
glasses
,
which
make
them
appear
to
be
such
huge
Santons
,
that
it
renders
them
not
onely
uncharitable
in
their
opinions
of
others
,
but
Luciferian-like
proud
in
their
own
conceit
,
insomuch
that
they
seem
to
scorn
all
the
world
besides
,
beleeving
that
they
are
●…he
only
Elect
whose
souls
work
according
●…o
the
motion
of
the
Spirit
:
that
they
are
●…he
true
Children
of
promise
,
whose
faces
alone
look
towards
Heven
;
They
are
more
pleased
with
some
new
reach
or
fancy
,
(
that
may
puzzle
the
pericranium
)
than
a
Frenchman
is
in
some
new
faction
in
cloathing
:
They
are
nearest
to
the
nature
of
the
Jew
of
any
people
upon
earth
,
and
will
converse
with
him
sooner
than
with
some
sort
of
Christians
;
And
as
in
their
pharisaicall
Dispositions
they
symbolize
with
the
Iew
,
so
in
some
of
their
positions
they
jump
pat
with
the
Iesuit
:
for
though
they
are
both
in
the
extremes
,
and
as
contrary
one
to
the
other
,
as
the
points
of
a
diameter
,
yet
their
opinions
and
practises
are
concentrique
,
viz.
to
depresse
regall
power
;
Both
of
them
wold
bind
their
Kings
in
Chaines
,
and
the
Nobles
in
links
of
Iron
;
They
both
deny
all
passive
obedience
,
and
as
the
one
wold
have
the
morter
of
the
Temple
tempred
with
blood
,
so
the
other
wold
beat
Religion
into
the
brain
with
the
poleaxe
.
Their
greatest
master-piece
of
policy
is
to
forge
counter●…eit
news
,
and
to
divulge
and
disperse
it
as
far
as
they
can
to
amuse
the
world
,
for
the
advancement
of
their
designs
,
and
strengthing
their
party
:
But
the
Iesuit
doth
it
more
cunningly
and
modestly
,
for
he
fetcheth
his
news
from
far
,
so
that
before
the
falshood
of
it
can
be
contrould
,
his
work
is
commonly
done
,
and
the
news
forgotten
;
But
these
later
polititians
use
to
raise
lies
hard
by
home
,
so
that
the
grosseness
and
palpablenesse
of
them
is
presently
discovered
.
Besides
,
to
avoid
the
extremes
of
the
other
,
these
later
seem
to
fall
into
flat
prophanness
,
for
they
may
be
called
a
kind
of
enemies
to
the
very
Name
,
Crosse
,
and
Church
of
Christ.
Touching
the
first
,
They
repine
at
any
reverence
to
be
done
unto
the
name
of
Jesus
,
though
spontaneous
,
not
coercive
.
For
the
second
,
which
was
held
from
the
beginning
to
be
the
badg
and
Banner
of
a
Christian
,
they
cry
up
the
Crosse
to
be
the
mark
of
the
b●…ast
;
And
for
the
last
,
viz.
the
Church
,
they
wold
have
it
to
be
neither
beautifull
,
holy
,
nor
amiable
,
which
are
the
three
main
properties
that
God
requires
in
his
house
.
To
conclude
,
when
any
comes
to
be
season'd
with
this
sower
leaven
,
he
seems
to
degenerat
presently
from
the
nature
and
garb
of
a
Gentleman
,
and
fals
to
be
of
a
sordid
and
low
disposition
,
narrow
hearted
and
close
handed
;
to
be
timerous
,
cunning
and
jealous
,
and
far
from
the
common
freedom
,
and
sweetness
of
morall
society
,
and
from
all
generous
and
loyal
thoughts
towards
his
King
and
Country
.
These
,
these
have
bin
the
chiefest
machinators
,
and
engeneers
Englands
unhappy
divisions
,
who
Viper-like
have
torn
the
entrailes
of
their
own
mother
their
dear
Country
:
But
ther
were
other
extern
concurrent
causes
,
and
to
find
them
out
,
I
must
look
Northward
,
for
there
the
cloud
began
to
condense
first
;
You
know
Sir
,
the
Scot's
nation
were
ever
used
to
have
their
King
personally
resident
amongst
them
,
and
though
King
Iames
by
reason
of
his
age
,
bounty
,
and
long
breeding
there
,
with
other
advantages
,
drew
such
extraordinary
respect
from
them
,
that
they
continued
in
good
conformity
:
yet
since
his
death
,
they
have
been
over-heard
to
mutter
at
the
remotenesse
and
absence
of
their
King
,
and
that
they
shold
become
now
a
kind
of
province
by
reason
of
such
a
distance
:
some
of
their
Nobles
and
Gentry
found
not
at
the
English
Court
,
nor
at
his
Majesties
Coronation
in
Edenburgh
that
Countenance
,
Familiarity
,
Benefit
and
Honours
which
haply
they
expected
,
and
't
is
well
known
who
he
was
,
that
having
been
denied
to
be
lorded
(
David
Lesley
)
took
a
pet
,
and
went
discontented
to
his
country
,
hoping
that
some
title
added
to
the
wealth
he
had
got
abroad
,
should
have
purchased
him
more
respect
.
These
discontented
parties
tamperd
with
the
mercenary
preachers
up
and
down
Scotland
,
to
obtrude
to
the
p●…ple
what
doctrines
they
put
into
their
mouthes
,
so
that
the
pulpits
every
where
rung
of
nothing
but
of
invectives
against
certain
obliquities
and
Solaecismes
(
and
I
cannot
tell
what
)
in
government
,
and
many
glances
they
had
upon
the
English
Church
:
yet
all
this
while
there
was
not
matter
enough
for
an
insurrection
,
nor
to
dispose
the
peoples
hearts
to
a
mutiny
▪
until
by
the
policy
(
as
some
affi●…med
)
of
the
said
discontented
party
the
English
Lyturgie
was
sent
thither
:
this
by
the
in●…itement
of
those
fiery
pulpiteers
,
was
cryed
up
to
be
the
greatest
I
doll
that
possibly
could
be
brought
into
their
Kerke
,
insomuch
that
when
it
was
first
offer'd
to
be
read
,
the
woman
and
ba●…er
sort
of
mechaniks
threw
stooles
and
stones
at
the
Bishops
heads
,
and
were
ready
to
tear
them
in
peeces
▪
And
here
began
the
storm
.
〈◊〉
Majesty
having
notice
hereof
,
sent
a
most
gracious
proclamation
,
signifying
,
that
whereas
he
had
recommended
that
Book
to
be
practis'd
amongst
them
,
wherein
he
himself
served
God
Almighty
twice
a
day
,
he
did
it
out
of
a
pious
endeavour
to
breed
an
uniformity
of
publick
Divine
service
in
all
his
dominions
,
specially
in
that
his
native
Kingdom
.
But
since
it
had
produced
such
dangerous
effects
,
he
was
contented
to
revoke
it
absolutely
;
for
it
was
never
his
purpose
to
press
the
practise
of
the
said
book
upon
the
consciences
of
any
,
he
did
onely
commend
,
not
absolutely
command
,
the
use
of
it
;
Therefore
he
exhorted
and
required
that
every
one
unto
whom
it
had
given
any
scandal
,
shold
return
to
his
pristine
obedience
,
and
serve
God
as
formerly
,
offering
herewith
a
gracious
pardon
,
and
to
passe
an
Act
of
Amnestia
for
an
abolition
of
all
faults
passed
.
Peregrin
.
And
would
not
this
suffice
?
In
naturall
motions
we
find
that
the
cause
being
taken
away
,
the
effect
ceaseth
,
and
will
not
this
hold
in
civil
Actions
?
Patricius
.
No
,
this
wold
not
serve
the
turn
,
but
〈◊〉
was
a
further
reach
in
it
,
and
for
an
inch
to
take
an
ell
:
you
know
the
Scots
since
〈◊〉
single
Lion
came
to
quarter
with
our
three
,
are
much
elevated
in
their
spirits
,
more
respected
,
emploied
and
trusted
abroad
,
they
are
heightned
in
their
resolutions
and
aims
,
and
will
questionless
be
daily
more
and
more
.
You
have
heard
of
a
Mine
that
reach'd
from
our
exchequer
to
Edenburgh
.
And
I
beleeve
you
have
not
forgot
Boccolinies
balance
,
that
was
shewed
us
in
Italie
,
wherein
Lorenzo
de
Medici
weighed
all
the
states
of
Christendom
,
and
throwing
in
England
amongst
the
rest
,
you
know
how
much
he
made
her
to
weigh
less
by
this
addition
.
The
former
Proclamation
I
say
,
and
Pardon
would
not
suffice
,
but
they
took
opportunity
to
fish
in
those
troubled
waters
,
and
vent
their
spleen
further
,
by
an
utter
extirpation
of
Episcopacy
,
and
by
trampling
the
mitre
under
their
feet
,
hoping
to
have
som
of
the
birds
plumes
,
being
pluck●…
,
to
feather
their
own
nests
;
And
they
brought
their
work
about
;
Good
Lord
,
what
a
deal
of
dirt
was
presently
thrown
into
the
Bishops
faces
by
every
Rurall
pettie
Clerk
!
what
infamous
ballads
were
sung
,
what
a
thick
clowd
of
Epidemical
hatred
hung
suddenly
over
them
,
so
far
,
that
a
dog
with
black
and
white
spots
was
called
a
Bishop
amongst
them
up
and
down
the
streets
.
The
chiefest
contrivers
of
this
up-roare
,
●…inding
their
design
to
go
on
so
well
,
and
perceiving
the
whole
Country
so
eagerly
bent
against
Bishops
,
(
and
what
artifices
and
suggestions
were
us'd
to
render
them
so
odious
is
incredible
)
but
finding
withall
his
Majestie
unwilling
to
alter
the
government
his
father
(
of
so
fresh
and
famous
memory
)
had
left
him
,
and
to
which
he
had
bin
sworn
at
his
Coronation
,
they
put
themselves
in
arms
,
and
rais'd
forces
to
beat
down
the
mitre
with
the
sword
,
if
the
scepter
would
not
do
it
.
To
the
frontiers
they
came
with
a
great
Army
,
(
not
half
so
great
as
was
bruted
)
pretending
they
came
as
Petitioners
(
though
they
brought
their
Petition
upon
the
pikes
▪
point
,
)
Some
of
the
great
ones
▪
about
the
King
grew
cold
in
the
action
:
And
what
a
pacification
was
then
shuffled
up
,
and
how
a
Parliament
was
called
thereupon
in
Scotland
,
with
other
passages
,
is
a
fitter
subject
for
a
story
then
a
discourse
.
Peregrin
.
I
could
have
wished
two
things
,
that
either
His
Majesty
had
given
them
battail
then
,
having
the
flower
of
his
Nobility
and
Gentry
with
him
,
who
I
understood
came
with
all
cheerfulnesse
and
pomptitude
to
attend
him
,
or
else
that
after
the
said
pacification
,
His
Majestie
had
shaken
off
all
jealousies
,
and
with
a
royall
freedom
and
a
commanding
confidence
gone
amongst
them
to
hancell
their
new
Parliament
House
at
Edenburgh
;
for
it
is
probable
,
it
had
averted
those
showers
and
cataracts
of
●…miseries
which
have
fallen
●…pon
us
since
;
but
I
pray
Sir
,
proceed
.
Patricius
.
As
they
say
,
there
is
no
wind
but
blows
some-body
good
,
so
it
was
thought
,
this
Northern
clowd
did
England
some
advantage
,
for
a
Parliament
was
summond
hereupon
:
a
Parliament
do
I
call
it
?
it
was
rather
an
Embryo
of
a
Parliament
,
an
Ephemeran
of
20
▪
days
.
In
this
sitting
His
Majesty
declared
unto
both
Houses
the
indignities
he
had
received
by
His
Scotch
Subjects
,
and
therefore
propos'd
a
supply
to
be
made
of
twelve
subsidies
to
suppress
that
Rebellion
;
and
in
lieu
thereof
he
was
willing
to
forbear
and
utterly
to
abolish
the
Ship-money
,
which
he
had
reason
to
think
legall
at
first
,
being
advised
thereunto
by
Noy
his
Attorney
Generall
,
who
had
such
a
mighty
repute
in
the
Law
;
yet
he
would
not
rest
ther
,
but
he
advised
further
with
his
learned
Councell
,
who
concurred
in
opinion
with
Noy
;
Nor
wold
he
rest
ther
also
,
but
he
had
the
approbation
of
all
the
Iudges
singly
,
and
afterwards
of
nine
of
the
twelve
jointly
upon
a
demur
.
This
was
enough
to
induce
his
conscience
to
hold
it
legall
all
this
while
;
It
was
clearly
proved
that
the
moneys
levied
this
way
,
were
employed
to
no
other
but
the
intended
service
,
the
garding
of
the
narrow
Seas
;
and
not
onely
for
that
,
but
to
preserve
his
right
of
Dominion
in
them
,
being
the
fairest
flower
of
his
Crown
,
which
was
not
onely
discoursed
of
abroad
,
but
began
to
be
questioned
by
the
French
Cardinall
:
And
touching
danger
,
how
could
England
be
but
in
apparant
dangers
?
consideri●…g
how
all
her
next
neighbours
were
in
actuall
hostility
,
which
made
huge
fleets
of
men
of
war
,
both
French
,
Dunkerkers
,
Hamburgers
and
Hollanders
to
sail
and
flaunt
ever
and
anon
in
her
Channells
,
and
hard
before
her
royall
Chambers
:
nor
came
ther
one
penny
of
that
publick
contribution
to
his
privat
coffers
,
but
he
added
much
of
his
own
demeans
for
the
maintenance
of
a
royal
fleet
every
sommer
:
yet
he
was
ready
to
passe
any
Bill
for
the
utter
abolishing
of
the
said
Ship-money
,
and
for
redressing
of
a●…y
other
grievances
,
provided
they
wold
enable
him
to
suppress
this
Scots
Rebellion
:
some
say
the
House
was
inclinable
to
comply
with
his
Majesties
demands
,
but
(
as
the
ill
spirit
wold
have
it
)
that
Parliament
was
suddenly
brok
up
,
and
I
wold
they
who
gave
that
Counsel
had
bin
then
in
Arabia
,
or
beyond
the
Line
,
in
their
way
to
Madagascar
,
who
neverthelesse
have
got
to
be
in
high
request
with
this
present
Parliament
.
Among
others
,
old
Sir
Harry
Vane
was
one
,
who
,
when
the
House
seem'd
willing
to
give
six
subsidies
,
and
the
King
inclinable
to
take
them
;
The
said
Vane
being
the
Secretary
of
State
stood
up
,
and
said
,
His
Majesty
expected
no
less
then
twelve
,
which
words
did
so
incense
and
discompose
the
House
,
that
they
drew
after
them
that
unhappy
dissolution
.
His
Majesty
being
reduced
to
these
straits
,
and
resenting
still
the
insolence
of
the
Scot
,
proposed
the
busines
to
His
Privy
Councell
,
who
suddenly
made
up
a
considerable
and
most
noble
summe
for
his
present
supply
,
whereunto
divers
of
his
domestick
servants
and
Officers
did
contribut
.
Amongst
others
who
were
active
herein
,
the
Earl
of
Strafford
bestir'd
himself
notably
,
and
having
got
a
Parliament
to
be
call'd
in
Ireland
he
went
over
,
and
with
incredible
celeritie
raised
8000.
men
,
who
procured
money
of
that
Parliament
to
maintain
them
,
and
got
over
those
angry
Seas
again
in
the
compasse
of
lesse
then
six
weeks
.
You
may
infer
hence
to
what
an
exact
uncontrollable
obedience
he
had
reduced
that
Kingdom
,
as
to
bring
about
so
great
a
work
with
such
a
suddennes
and
facilitie
.
An
armie
was
also
raised
▪
here
,
which
marched
to
the
North
,
and
there
fed
upon
the
Kings
pay
a
whole
Summer
.
The
Scot
was
not
idle
all
this
while
;
but
having
punctuall
intelligence
of
every
thing
that
passed
at
Court
,
as
farre
as
what
was
debated
in
the
Cabinet
Councel
,
and
spoken
in
the
bed-chamber
,
(
and
herein
amongst
many
others
,
the
Scot
had
infinite
advantage
of
us
)
He
armed
also
,
and
preferring
to
make
England
the
stage
of
the
warre
,
rather
then
his
own
countrey
,
and
to
invade
rather
then
to
be
invaded
,
He
got
over
the
Tweed
,
and
found
the
passage
open
,
and
as
it
were
made
for
him
all
the
way
till
hee
came
to
the
Tine
,
and
though
there
was
a
considerable
army
of
horse
and
foot
at
Newcastle
,
yet
they
never
offered
so
much
as
to
face
him
all
the
while
,
At
Newburgh
indeed
there
was
a
small
skirmish
,
but
the
English
foot
would
not
fight
,
so
Newcastle
gates
flew
open
to
the
Scot
without
any
resistance
at
all
,
where
it
is
thought
he
had
more
friends
then
foes
,
and
who
were
their
friends
besides
for
this
invasion
,
I
hope
Time
,
and
the
Tribunall
of
Justice
will
one
day
discover
.
His
Majesty
being
then
at
York
,
summoned
all
his
Nobles
to
appear
,
to
advise
with
them
in
this
exigence
:
Commissioners
were
appointed
on
both
sides
,
who
met
at
Rippon
,
and
how
the
hearts
and
courage
of
some
of
the
English
Barons
did
boil
within
them
,
to
be
brought
to
so
disadvantageous
a
Treatie
with
the
Scot
,
you
may
well
imagin
.
So
the
Treatie
began
,
which
the
Scot
wold
not
conform
himself
to
do
,
unless
he
were
first
unrebell
▪
d
and
made
Rectus
in
Curia
,
and
the
Proclamation
,
wherein
he
was
declared
Traitour
,
revoked
,
alledging
it
wold
be
dishonorable
for
His
Majesty
to
treat
with
rebels
.
This
treaty
was
adjourned
to
London
,
where
this
present
Parliament
was
summoned
(
which
was
one
of
the
chiefest
errands
of
the
Sco●…
,
as
some
think
.
)
And
thus
far
by
these
sad
and
short
degrees
,
have
I
faithfully
led
you
along
to
know
the
tru
Originals
of
our
calamities
.
Peregrin
.
Truly
Sir
,
I
must
tell
you
,
that
to
my
knowledg
these
unhappy
traverses
with
Scotland
,
have
made
the
English
suffer
abroad
very
much
in
point
of
National
honour
;
Therefore
I
wonder
much
that
all
this
while
ther
is
none
set
a
work
to
make
a
solid
Apologie
for
England
in
some
communicable
language
,
(
either
in
French
or
Latin
)
to
rectifie
the
world
in
the
truth
of
the
thing
,
and
to
vindicat
her
,
how
she
was
bought
and
sold
in
this
expedition
,
considering
what
a
party
the
Scot
had
here
,
and
how
his
comming
in
,
was
rather
an
Invitation
,
then
an
Invasion
,
and
I
beleeve
if
it
had
bin
in
many
parts
of
the
world
besides
,
some
of
the
Commanders
had
gone
to
the
pot
.
Patricius
.
It
is
the
practise
of
some
States
I
know
,
to
make
sacrifice
of
some
eminent
Minister
,
for
publick
mistakes
:
but
to
follow
the
thred
of
my
Discourse
.
The
Parliament
being
sate
,
His
Majesty
told
them
,
that
he
was
resolved
to
cast
himself
wholly
upon
the
affection
and
fidelity
of
his
people
,
whereof
they
were
the
Representative
body
:
Therfore
he
wished
them
to
go
roundly
on
to
close
up
the
ruptures
that
were
made
by
this
infortunat
war
,
and
that
the
two
armies
,
one
domestick
,
the
other
forrain
,
which
were
gnawing
the
very
bowels
of
the
Kingdom
,
might
be
dismissed
.
Touching
grievances
of
any
kind
(
and
what
State
was
ther
ever
so
pure
,
but
some
corruption
might
creep
into
it
?
)
He
was
very
ready
to
redresse
them
:
concerning
the
Ship-money
,
he
was
willing
to
pass
a
B●…ll
for
the
utter
abolition
of
it
,
and
to
establish
the
property
of
the
subject
;
therefore
he
wished
them
not
to
spend
too
much
time
about
that
.
And
for
Monopolies
,
he
desired
to
have
a
list
of
them
,
and
he
wold
damn
them
all
in
one
Proclamation
:
Touching
ill
Counsellours
,
either
in
Westminster-Hall
,
or
White-Hall
,
either
in
Church
or
State
,
he
was
resolved
to
protect
none
,
Therefore
he
wished
that
all
jealousies
and
misunderstandings
might
vanish
:
This
,
with
sundry
other
strains
of
Princely
grace
he
delivered
unto
them
,
but
withall
he
told
them
,
that
they
shold
be
very
cautious
how
they
shook
the
fram
of
an
ancient
Government
too
far
,
in
regard
it
was
like
a
Watch
,
which
being
put
asunder
,
can
never
be
made
up
again
,
if
the
least
pin
be
left
out
.
So
ther
were
great
hopes
of
a
calm
,
after
that
cold
Northern
storm
had
so
blustered
,
and
that
we
shold
be
suddenly
rid
of
the
Scot
,
but
that
was
least
intended
,
untill
som
designs
were
brought
about
.
The
Earl
of
Strafford
,
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
the
Iudges
,
and
divers
Monopolists
are
clapt
up
,
and
you
know
who
took
a
timely
flight
(
Lord
Finch
)
to
the
other
side
of
the
Sea.
And
in
lieu
of
these
,
the
Bishop
of
Lincoln
is
enlarged
,
Bastwick
,
Burton
,
and
Prynn
are
brought
into
London
with
a
kind
of
Hosanna
.
His
Majesty
gave
way
to
all
this
,
and
to
comply
further
with
them
,
he
took
as
it
were
into
his
bosom
,
I
mean
,
he
admitted
to
his
Privy
Councell
those
Parliament
Lords
,
who
were
held
the
greatest
Zelots
amongst
them
,
that
they
might
be
witnesses
of
his
secret'st
actions
,
and
to
one
of
them
(
the
Lord
Say
)
he
gave
one
of
the
considerablest
Offices
of
the
Kingdom
,
by
the
resignation
of
another
most
deserving
Lord
,
upon
whom
they
could
never
fasten
the
least
misdemeanour
;
yet
this
great
new
Officer
wold
come
neither
to
the
same
Oratory
,
Chappell
,
or
Church
,
to
joyn
in
prayer
with
his
Royall
Master
,
nor
communicat
with
him
in
any
publick
exercise
of
devotion
:
and
may
not
this
be
called
a
tru
Recusancie
?
To
another
he
gave
one
of
the
prime
and
most
reposefull
Offices
about
his
own
Person
at
Court
(
The
Earl
of
Essex
)
and
thereby
he
might
be
said
to
have
given
a
Staff
to
beat
himself
.
Moreover
,
partly
to
give
his
Subjects
an
Evidence
how
firmly
he
was
rooted
in
his
Religion
,
and
how
much
he
desired
the
strenthning
of
it
abroad
,
The
treaty
of
marriage
went
on
'twixt
his
eldest
daughter
,
and
the
young
Prince
of
Orenge
.
Hereunto
may
be
added
as
a
speciall
argument
of
compliance
and
grace
,
the
passing
of
the
Bill
for
a
Trienniall
Parliament
,
and
lastly
(
which
is
the
greatest
Evidence
that
possibly
can
be
imagined
,
of
that
reall
trust
and
confidence
he
reposed
in
them
)
he
passed
that
prodigious
Act
of
Continuance
.
Peregrin
.
Touching
the
Trienniall
Parliament
,
there
may
come
some
whole
some
fruit
out
of
it
,
will
keep
all
Officers
in
awe
,
and
excite
the
Nobilitie
,
and
young
Gentrie
of
the
Kingdome
to
studie
,
and
understand
the
Government
of
the
land
,
and
be
able
to
sit
and
serve
their
countrey
in
this
great
Senate
:
But
for
this
Act
of
Continuance
I
understand
it
not
;
Parliaments
are
good
Physick
,
but
ill
meat
;
They
say
abroad
that
England
is
turned
hereby
from
a
Monarchy
to
a
Democracy
,
to
a
perpetual
kind
of
Quingentumvirat
;
and
whereas
in
former
times
ther
was
a
Heptarchy
of
seven
▪
Kings
in
her
,
they
say
now
she
hath
seventy
times
seven
.
But
in
lieu
of
these
unparallell'd
Acts
of
grace
and
trust
to
the
Parl.
what
did
the
Parliament
for
the
King
all
this
while
?
Patricius
.
They
promised
,
specially
upon
the
passing
of
the
last
Act
,
That
they
would
make
him
the
most
glorious
,
the
best
beloved
,
and
richest
King
that
ever
reigned
in
England
:
and
this
they
did
with
deep
protestings
and
asseverations
.
But
there
intervened
an
ill-favoured
accident
which
did
much
hurt
,
viz.
A
Discourse
(
for
truely
I
think
it
was
no
more
)
but
a
discourse
)
which
some
green
heads
held
to
bring
up
the
Northern
armie
,
to
check
the
Puritan
partie
,
and
the
rabble
of
the
citie
:
This
kept
a
mightie
noyse
,
and
you
know
who
fled
upon
it
,
and
much
use
was
made
of
it
to
make
that
cloud
of
jealousie
which
was
but
of
the
breadth
of
a
hand
before
,
to
appear
as
big
as
a
mountaine
.
Yet
his
Majestie
continued
still
in
passing
Acts
of
grace
,
and
complying
with
them
in
every
thing
▪
Hee
put
over
unto
them
the
Earle
of
Strafford
,
who
after
a
long
costly
triall
(
wherein
he
carried
himself
with
as
much
acutenesse
,
dexteritie
and
eloquence
,
as
humane
braine
could
be
capable
of
for
his
defence
)
hee
was
condemned
to
the
Scaffold
,
and
so
made
a
sacrifice
to
the
Scot
,
who
stayed
chiefly
for
his
head
,
which
besides
those
vast
summes
of
money
,
was
given
him
to
boot
.
Peregrin

Touching
the
Earle
of
Strafford
,
't
is
tru
,
he
was
full
of
ability
,
elocution
and
confidence
,
and
understood
the
lawes
of
England
as
well
as
any
,
yet
there
were
two
things
,
I
heard
,
wherein
his
wisdom
was
questioned
;
first
that
having
a
charge
ready
against
his
chiefest
accusers
,
yet
he
suffered
them
to
have
the
priority
of
sute
,
which
if
he
had
got
he
had
thereby
made
them
parties
,
and
so
incapable
to
be
produced
against
him
:
Secondly
,
that
during
the
time
of
his
tryall
,
he
applyed
not
himself
with
that
compliance
to
his
Iury
as
well
as
to
his
Iudges
,
for
he
was
observed
to
comply
only
with
the
Lords
,
and
not
with
the
House
of
Commons
.
Patricius
.
Howsoever
,
as
some
say
,
his
death
was
●…esolved
upon
,
(
si
non
per
viam
justitiae
,
saltem
per
viam
expedientiae
)
which
appears
in
regard
the
proceedings
against
him
are
by
a
clause
in
the
Act
not
to
be
produced
for
a
leading
case
or
example
to
future
ages
and
inferiour
Courts
:
I
blush
to
tell
you
how
much
the
rabble
of
the
City
thirsted
after
his
blood
,
how
they
were
suffered
to
strut
up
and
down
the
streets
before
the
royal
Court
,
and
the
Parliament
it self
,
with
impunity
;
They
cried
out
,
that
if
the
Common
Law
fail'd
,
club
law
should
knock
him
down
,
and
their
insolency
came
to
that
height
,
that
the
names
of
those
Lords
that
would
not
doome
him
to
death
,
should
be
given
them
to
fix
upon
posts
up
and
downe
;
And
this
was
the
first
tumult
that
happened
this
Parliament
,
whereof
so
many
followed
after
their
example
,
being
not
onely
conniv'd
at
,
but
backed
by
authoritie
,
for
there
were
prohibitions
sent
from
the
Parliament
,
to
hinder
all
processe
against
some
of
them
.
These
Myrmidons
,
as
they
termed
themselves
,
were
ready
at
a
watchword
,
so
that
one
might
say
there
was
a
kind
of
discipline
in
disorder
.
Peregrin
.
Were
ther
any
troubled
for
delivering
their
votes
in
the
Houses
?
I
thought
that
freedom
of
opinion
and
speech
,
were
one
of
the
prime
priviledges
of
that
great
Nationall
Senat.
Patricius
.
Yes
,
Those
that
were
the
Minions
of
the
House
before
,
became
now
the
subjects
of
popular
malice
and
detraction
,
(
as
the
Lord
Digby
now
Earl
of
Bristol
for
one
)
because
against
the
dictamen
of
their
consciences
they
would
not
vote
the
Earl
of
Strafford
to
death
,
and
renounce
their
own
judgments
,
and
captivate
it
to
the
sense
of
others
,
yet
they
stood
firm
to
their
first
grounds
,
that
he
was
a
delinquent
in
a
high
nature
,
and
incapable
ever
to
beare
office
in
any
of
His
Majesties
dominions
.
Peregrin
.
I
perceive
Sir
by
your
speeches
,
that
one
of
the
chiefest
causes
of
these
combustions
may
be
imputed
to
the
Citie
of
London
,
which
may
be
called
the
Metropolis
of
all
these
evils
,
and
I
little
wonder
at
it
,
for
it
hath
been
alwaies
incident
to
all
great
Townes
,
when
they
grow
rich
and
populous
,
to
fall
into
acts
of
insolence
,
and
to
spurne
at
government
;
where
so
many
pots
,
(
so
many
braines
I
meane
)
are
a
boyling
,
ther
must
needs
be
a
great
deal
of
froth
,
but
let
her
look
to
her self
,
for
Majesty
hath
long
arms
,
and
may
reach
her
at
last
.
But
the
truth
is
,
that
London
bears
no
proportion
with
the
size
of
this
Island
,
for
either
the
one
shold
be
larger
,
or
the
other
lesser
:
London
may
be
well
compared
to
the
liver
of
a
cramm'd
Italian
goose
,
whose
fatning
emacerates
the
rest
of
the
whole
body
,
and
makes
it
grow
lean
and
languish
,
and
she
may
be
well
term'd
a
goose
now
more
then
ever
,
for
her
feathers
are
pluck'd
apace
;
but
now
that
you
have
done
with
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
what
is
become
of
all
the
rest
who
were
committed
?
Patricius
.
They
are
still
in
durance
,
and
have
continued
so
these
two
years
and
upward
,
yet
are
not
proceeded
against
,
nor
brought
to
their
answer
to
this
very
day
,
though
all
the
Courts
of
Justice
have
bin
open
ever
since
.
Many
hundreds
more
of
the
best
sort
of
Subjects
have
bin
suddenly
clapt
up
,
and
no
cause
at
all
mentioned
in
many
of
their
commitments
,
and
new
Prisons
made
of
purpose
for
them
,
where
they
may
be
said
to
be
buried
alive
,
and
so
forgotten
as
if
ther
were
no
such
men
in
the
world
(
wherof
the
Author
was
one
:
)
And
how
this
can
stand
with
Magna
Charta
,
with
the
Petition
of
Right
(
to
vindicat
which
,
ther
was
so
much
pains
taken
the
last
Parliament
)
let
any
man
of
a
sane
judgment
determin
.
Yet
one
of
the
Judges
,
who
hath
an
Impeachment
o●…
High
Treason
still
lying
Dormant
against
him
,
though
he
be
not
Rectus
in
Curia
himself
,
is
suffered
to
sit
as
Judge
upon
the
highest
tribunall
of
England
,
whereas
another
for
a
pretended
misdemeanour
only
is
barr'd
from
sitting
ther.
Others
who
were
at
first
cryed
up
and
branded
to
be
the
most
infamous
Projectors
and
Monopolizers
of
the
land
,
(
as
Hamilton
,
Holland
,
&c.
)
are
not
only
at
liberty
,
but
crept
into
favour
,
and
made
use
of

Hath
the
house
of
Commons
power
to
commit
any
but
their

without
conference
with
the
Lords
?
Or
hath
any
Order
or
Ordinance
of
one
of
the
Houses
singly
,
or
of
both
conjunctly
,
power
to
enjoin
a
virtual

binding
,
generall
obedience
without
the
Royal
consent
?
Patricius
.
The
power
of
Parliament
,
when
King
,
Peers
,
and
Commons
,
which
is
the
whole
Kingdom
digested
as
it
were
into
one
volum
,
is
indefinit
,
but
what
either
of
both
Houses
can
do
of
themselves
singly
or
joyntly
without
the
King
who
is
the
life
of
the
Law
,
especially
when
a
visible
faction
reigns
amongst
them
,
I
will
not
determin
.
—
tantas
componere
lites
non
opis
est
nostrae
—
But
for
my
own
opinion
,
I
think
it
is
as
impossible
for
them
to
make
a
Law
without
the
King
,
as
it
was
for
Paracelsus
to
make
a
human
creture
without
coition
of
both
sexes
.
The
results
of
Parliament
without
the
Royall
consent
,
are
as
matches
without
fire
;
And
it
is
an
incontroulable
principle
,
that
the
old
Law
must
be
our
guide
,
till
new
be
made
,
nor
is
any
Act
of
the
Subject
justifiable
,
but
what
is
warranted
by
the
old
.
But
to
proceed
in
the
tru
discovery
of
these
Domestick
scissures
,
my
Lord
of
Stafford
being
gone
,
we
hop'd
fair
weather
wold
follow
.
(
He
who
was
the
cause
of
the
tempest
(
as
they
pretended
)
being
thrown
over-board
)
but
unluckie
mists
of
jealousie
grew
thicker
and
thicker
;
Yet
the
Scots
were
dismist
,
having
had
Fidlers
fare
,
meat
,
drink
,
and
money
,
for
eleven
long
moneths
together
.
So
His
Majesty
went
to
Scotland
,
where
the
Parliament
ther
,
did
but
ask
and
have
any
thing
,
though
it
be
the
unquestionable
Prerogative
of
Majesty
to
grant
or
deny
Petitions
,
and
to
satisfie
his
conscience
before
any
Councell
whatsoever
.
But
during
his
sojourn
ther
,
this
formidable
hideous
Rebellion
brok
out
in
Ireland
,
which
though
it
may
be
said
to
be
but
an
old
play
newly
reviv'd
▪
yet
the
Scene
was
never
so
Tragicall
and
bloody
as
now
:
for
the
Barbarismes
that
have
bin
committed
ther
have
bin
so
sanguinary
,
and
monstrously
savage
,
that
I
think
posterity
will
hold
them
hyperbolicall
●…when
History
relates
them
.
The
Irish
themselves
affirm
ther
concurr'd
divers
causes
to
kindle
this
fire
:
One
,
was
the
taking
off
of
Straffor●…s
head
,
(
who
awd
them
more
then
any
Deputy
ever
did
)
and
that
one
of
his
Accusations
shold
be
to
have
used
the
Papists
ther
too
favourably
:
Secondly
,
the
rigorous
proceedings
and
intended
courses
against
the
Roman
Catholiques
here
in
England
.
Lastly
,
the
stopping
of
that
Regiment
of
Irish
,
who
was
promised
by
His
Majesties
Royall
Word
and
Letter
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
who
relying
upon
that
employment
,
rather
then
to
beg
,
steal
,
or
starve
,
turned
Rebels
:
And
that
,
which
hath
agravated
the
Rebellion
all
this
while
,
and
heightned
much
the
spirit
of
the
Irish
,
was
the
introduction
of
the
Scot
,
whom
they
hate
in
perfection
above
all
people
els
;
And
intended
lastly
the
design
spoken
of
in
our
Parliament
,
to
make
an
absolute
Conquest
,
and
Nationall
Eradication
of
them
,
which
hath
made
them
to
make
vertue
of
necessity
,
and
to
be
valiant
against
their
wills
.
Peregrin

Indeed
I
heard
that
Act
of
staying
the
Irish
Regiment
,
considering
how
the
Marquesses
de
Velada
,
and
Malvezzi
,
and
Don
Alonso
de
Cardenas
,
who
were
all
three
Ambassadours
here
for
the
King
of
Spain
at
that
time
,
having
by
reliance
upon
the
sacred
Word
and
Letter
of
a
King
,
imprested
money
,
and
provided
shipping
for
their
transport
,
and
bin
at
above
10000.
Crowns
charges
,
I
say
this
Act
was
very
much
censured
abroad
,
to
the
dishonour
of
His
Majesty
and
our
reproach
.
Patricius
.
I
am
very
sorry
to
hear
it
.
Well
Sir.
His
Majesty
by
His
presence
having
setled
Scotland
,
was
at
his
return
to
London
received
with
much
joy
and
exultation
,
but
though
he
was
brought
in
with
a
Hosanna
at
one
end
of
the
Town
,
he
found
a
Crucifige
at
the
other
:
For
at
Westminster
ther
was
a
Remonstrance
fram'd
,
a
work
of
many
weeks
,
and
voted
in
the
dead
of
night
,
when
most
of
the
moderat
and
well-thoughted
Members
were
retired
to
their
rest
,
wherein
with
as
much
aggravation
and
artifice
as
could
be
,
the
least
moat
in
Government
was
exposed
to
publick
view
,
from
the
first
day
of
His
Majesties
Inaugurat●…on
to
that
very
hour
:
Which
Remonstrance
as
it
did
no
good
to
the
Publick
but
fill
peoples
heads
with
doubts
,
their
hearts
with
gall
,
and
retard
the
procedure
of
all
businesse
besides
,
so
you
may
well
think
it
could
expect
but
cold
entertainment
with
His
Majesty
,
who
hoped
his
great
Councel
,
according
to
their
often
deep
protestations
,
had
done
something
for
his
welcom
home
,
that
might
have
made
him
the
best
beloved
King
that
ever
〈◊〉
amongst
his
people
.
Peregrin
.
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
ther
is
no
Government
upon
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
up
of
m●…n
,
but
is
subject
to
corruption
;
there
is
no
Court
of
judicature
so
cleane
,
but
some
cobwebs
may
gather
in
it
,
unlesse
an
Act
of
Parliament
could
be
made
to
free
and
exempt
men
from
all
infirmities
and
errour
;
It
cannot
be
denied
,
but
Scotland
might
have
something
to
complaine
of
(
though
I
think
least
of
any
)
and
so
leapt
first
into
the
pooll
to
be
cur'd
,
and
what
she
fish'd
besides
in
those
troubled
waters
't
is
too
well
known
:
England
also
no
doubt
might
have
some
grievances
,
which
his
Majestie
freely
offered
not
onely
to
redresse
for
the
present
,
but
to
free
her
of
all
feares
for
the
future
,
from
falling
into
relapses
of
that
kinde
;
but
to
redresse
grievances
by
Armes
,
by
plunging
the
whole
countrey
into
an
intestine
warre
,
this
makes
the
remedy
worse
then
the
malady
,
it
is
as
if
one
would
go
about
to
cure
a
sick
body
by
breaking
his
head
,
or
let
him
blood
by
giving
him
a
dash
on
the
nose
,
it
is
as
mad
a
tricke
as
his
was
who
set
the
whole
House
a
fire
to
roast
his
egs
.
But
truly
Sir
,
in
my
opinion
,
his
Majesty
at
his
return
from
Scotland
,
might
have
justly
expected
some
acts
of
compliance
and
gratitude
from
his
Parliament
,
considering
what
unparallel'd
acts
of
grace
he
had
pass'd
before
.
Patricius
.
His
Majesty
did
not
rest
there
,
but
complied
further
with
them
by
condescending
to
an
act
for
putting
down
the
star-chamber
Court
the
high
Commission
,
the
Court
of
honour
,
nay
,
he
was
contented
his
own
Privy
Councell
should
be
regulated
,
and
his
forests
bounded
not
according
to
ancient
Prerogative
but
late
custome
;
nay
further
,
he
pass'd
a
Bill
for
the
unvoting
,
and
utter
exclusion
of
the
Spirituall
Lords
from
the
Parliament
for
ever
,
whereby
it
cannot
be
denied
,
but
by
the
casheering
of
25
votes
at
a
clap
,
and
by
excluding
the
Recusant
Lords
besides
(
who
subsist
most
by
his
grace
)
he
did
not
a
little
enervat
his
own
prerogative
.
Adde
hereunto
that
having
placed
two
worthy
Gentlemen
Biron
and
Lunsford
Lieutenants
of
the
Tower
,
he
remov'd
them
both
one
after
the
other
,
and
was
content
to
put
in
one
of
their
Election
:
And
lastly
,
he
trusted
them
with
his
greatest
strength
of
all
,
with
his
Navie
Royall
,
and
call'd
home
Pennington
who
had
the
guard
of
the
narrow
Seas
so
many
yeares
.
Peregrin

Truly
Sir
,
I
never
remember
to
have
heard
or
read
of
such
notable
acts
of
grace
and
confidence
from
any
King
:
but
would
not
all
this
suffice
?
Patricius
.
No
,
But
they
demanded
all
the
Land
Souldiery
and
military
strength
of
the
Kingdome
to
be
disposed
of
by
them
,
and
to
be
put
into
what
posture
,
and
in
what
Equipage
,
and
under
what
Commanders
they
pleas'd
;
And
this
was
the
first
thing
his
Majesty
ever
denyed
them
,
yet
he
would
have
granted
them
this
also
for
a
limited
time
,
but
that
would
not
serve
the
turn
;
Hereupon
his
Majesty
grew
a
little
sensible
how
they
inch'd
every
day
more
and
more
upon
his
Royall
Prerogatives
;
And
intending
to
go
to
his
Town
of
Hull
to
see
his
Magazin
(
which
he
had
bought
with
his
own
money
)
with
his
ordinary
train
,
he
was
in
a
hostile
manner
kept
out
,
Canons
mounted
,
Pistols
cockt
,
and
leveld
at
him
.
But
whether
that
unlucky
Knight
(
Hotham
)
did
this
out
of
his
fidelity
to
the
Parl.
or
out
of
an
apprehension
of
feare
that
some
about
the
King
,
being
mov'd
with
the
barbarousnesse
of
the
action
would
have
pistold
him
,
I
will
not
determine
.
Peregrin
.
I
have
read
of
divers
affronts
of
this
kinde
that
were
offerd
to
the
French
Kings
,
Rochell
shut
her
gates
more
than
once
against
Henry
the
Great
,
and
for
the
King
now
regnant
,
they
did
not
only
shut
him
out
of
many
of
his
Towns
,
but
upon
the
gates
of
some
of
them
they
writ
in
legible
Characters
,
Roy
san
Foy
,
ville
sans
peur
,
a
faithlesse
King
,
a
fearlesse
Towne
.
Yet
in
the
greatest
heat
of
those
warres
,
there
was
never
any
Towne
refus'd
to
let
in
her
King
,
provided
he
came
attended
onely
with
his
own
traine
;
and
besides
other
people
abroad
,
I
heard
the
Scot's
nation
did
abhor
that
Act
at
Hull
.
But
I
pray
Sir
go
on
.
Patricius
.
His
Majesty
being
thus
shut
out
of
one
Towne
,
he
might
justly
suspect
that
an
attempt
might
be
made
to
shut
him
in
,
in
some
other
;
Therefore
he
made
a
motion
to
the
Yorke-shire
Gentlemen
,
to
have
a
gard
for
the
preservation
of
his
Person
,
which
was
done
accordingly
.
But
I
am
come
to
forward
,
I
must
go
backe
and
tell
you
how
the
King
was
driven
from
Westminster
.
When
His
Majesty
was
return'd
from
Scotland
he
retir'd
to
Hampton
Court
,
whence
upon
the
Lord
Majors
and
the
Cities
humble
sollici●…ation
,
he
came
back
to
White-hal
to
keep
his
Christmas
.
But
when
the
Bill
against
Bishops
was
in
agitation
,
which
businesse
●…asted
neer
upon
ten
weekes
,
a
crue
of
bold
●…turdie
mechanicks
,
and
mariners
,
came
●…rom
the
Citie
and
ruffled
before
White-hall
and
Westminster-hall
,
and
would
have
violated
the
Abby
of
Westminster
,
so
that
for
many
●…ights
a
Court
of
gard
was
forced
to
be
kept
●…n
the
body
of
that
Church
,
(
the
chiefest
Sanctuary
of
the
Kingdom
.
)
Moreover
,
His
Majesty
having
impeached
some
of
the
Members
of
both
Houses
,
of
High
Treason
,
and
being
denied
to
have
them
delivered
up
,
he
went
himself
to
the
Lower
House
to
demand
them
,
assuring
the
House
they
should
have
as
faire
and
legall
a
triall
as
ever
men
had
.
But
as
it
pleas'd
God
,
they
were
not
there
,
but
retir'd
to
London
for
refuge
;
The
Londoners
grew
starke
wilde
thereupon
,
and
notice
being
sent
to
all
the
adjacent
Counties
,
this
act
of
the
Kings
(
though
it
wanted
no
precedents
of
former
times
)
was
aggravated
in
the
highest
degree
that
possibly
could
be
.
Hence
you
may
easily
inferre
,
what
small
securitie
his
Majesty
had
at
White-hall
,
and
what
indignities
he
might
have
exposed
himself
unto
,
by
that
which
had
pass'd
already
from
the
Rabble
,
who
had
vilified
and
cried
tush
at
his
proclamations
,
and
disgorg'd
other
rebellious
speeches
with
impunity
:
therefore
he
retird
to
Hampton
Court
(
as
we
read
,
our
Saviour
withdrew
himselfe
once
from
the
multitude
)
thence
to
Windsor
Castle
,
whence
accompanying
her
Majesty
,
with
his
eldest
daughter
to
the
sea
side
for
Holland
,
and
having
commanded
the
Prince
to
attend
him
against
his
return
at
Greenwich
,
the
Prince
had
been
surpriz'd
,
and
brought
to
London
,
had
not
the
King
come
a
little
before
.
Thence
he
removed
to
Yorke
,
where
he
kept
his
Court
all
the
Sommer
.
But
to
returne
to
London
,
the
very
next
day
after
their
Majesties
departure
,
the
Countrey
about
,
especially
Buckinghamshire
being
incited
by
the
C●…tie
and
Parliament
,
came
in
great
swarmes
,
and
joyning
with
the
London
mechanicks
,
they
ruffled
up
and
down
the
streets
,
and
kept
such
a
racket
,
making
the
fearfull'st
riot
that
ever
I
beleeve
was
heard
of
in
Parliament
time
:
so
those
Members
which
formerly
were
fled
into
the
Citie
,
were
brought
to
the
House
in
a
kind
of
triumph
,
being
garded
by
land
and
water
in
warlike
manner
by
these
Champions
:
After
this
,
sundry
troops
of
horse
came
from
all
the
shires
near
adjoyning
to
●…he
Parliament
,
and
Buckingham
men
were
●…he
first
,
who
while
they
express'd
their
●…ve
to
(
Hamden
)
their
Knight
,
forgot
their
●…worn
oath
to
their
King
,
and
in
stead
of
feathers
they
carried
a
printed
Protestation
in
●…heir
hats
,
as
the
Londoners
had
done
a
lit●…le
before
upon
the
Pikes
point
.
Peregrin
.
This
kept
a
foul
noise
beyond
Sea
I
re●…ember
,
so
that
upon
the
Rialto
in
Venice
,
●…t
was
sung
up
and
down
,
that
a
Midsummer
Moon
(
though
it
was
then
midst
of
Winter
)
did
raign
amongst
the
English
,
and
you
must
●…hink
that
it
hath
made
the
Venetian
to
●…hrink
in
his
shoulders
,
and
to
look
but
ill-favouredly
upon
us
,
since
wee
'l
have
none
of
his
currans
.
But
Sir
,
I
heard
much
of
that
Protestation
,
I
pray
what
was
the
substance
of
it
?
Patricius
.
It
was
penn'd
,
and
enjoyn'd
by
the
Par●…iament
for
every
one
to
take
,
and
it
consisted
of
many
parts
;
the
first
was
,
to
maintain
the
tru
Potestant
Religion
against
all
Popish
innovations
,
which
word
Popish
(
as
som
think
)
was
scrued
in
of
purpose
for
a
loop
hole
to
let
in
any
other
innovation
:
the
second
was
to
maintain
the
Prerogative
an●…
Honour
of
the
King
;
then
the
power
and
priviledge
of
Parliament
;
and
lastly
,
the
Propriety
and
Liberty
of
the
subject
;
for
thre●…
parts
of
this
Protestation
,
the
people
up
an●…
down
seem'd
to
have
utterly
forgotte●…
them
,
and
continue
so
still
,
as
if
their
consciences
had
bin
tied
only
to
the
third
,
viz
the
priviledge
of
Parliament
,
and
never
was
ther
a
poor
people
so
besotted
,
never
wa●…
reason
and
common
sence
so
baffled
in
an●…
part
of
the
world
.
And
now
will
I
go
to
attend
His
Majesty
at
York
,
where
,
as
I
told
you
before
,
being
loth
to
part
with
his
Sword
,
(
though
he
had
half
parted
with
his
Scepter
before
)
by
denying
the
Parliament
an
indefinite
time
to
dispose
of
the
Militia
,
(
alleadging
that
as
the
Word
,
so
the
thing
was
new
.
)
He
sends
forth
his
Commissions
of
Array
,
according
to
the
old
Law
of
England
,
which
declares
i●…
to
be
the
undoubted
Right
,
and
Royall
Signorie
of
the
King
,
to
arm
or
disarm
any
subject
:
The
Parliament
sends
out
clean
countermands
for
executing
the
said
Militia
,
so
by
this
clashing
'twixt
the
Commission
of
Array
and
the
Militia
,
the
first
flash
of
this
odious
unnaturall
war
may
be
said
to
break
out
.
The
pulse
of
the
Parliament
beats
yet
higher
,
they
send
an
Admirall
to
the
Sea
(
the
Earl
of
Warwick
)
not
only
without
,
but
expresly
against
the
Kings
special
command
.
They
had
taken
unto
them
a
Military
gard
from
the
City
for
their
protection
,
without
His
Majesties
consent
,
who
by
the
advice
of
the
Lord
Keeper
and
others
,
had
offered
them
a
very
strong
gard
of
Constables
and
other
Officers
to
attend
them
,
which
the
Law
usually
allows
;
yet
the
raising
of
that
gard
in
York-shire
for
the
safegard
of
His
Majesties
person
,
was
interpreted
to
be
leavying
of
war
against
the
Parliament
,
and
so
made
a
sufficient
ground
for
them
to
raise
an
Army
,
to
appoint
a
Generall
(
the
Earl
of
Essex
)
with
whom
they
made
publick
Declarations
to
live
and
die
.
And
they
assumed
power
to
confer
a
new
Appellation
of
honour
upon
him
,
(
Excellency
)
as
if
any
could
confer
Honour
but
the
King
!
And
this
Army
was
to
be
maintain'd
out
of
the
mixt
con●…ribution
of
all
sorts
of
people
;
so
a
great
masse
of
money
and
plate
was
brought
into
the
Guild
hall
,
the
Semstresse
brought
in
her
silver
Thimble
,
the
Chamber-maid
her
Bodkin
,
the
Cook
his
Spoons
,
and
the
Vintner
his
Bowles
,
and
every
one
somthing
,
to
the
advancement
of
so
good
a
work
,
as
to
wage
war
directly
against
the
Sacred
person
of
their
Soverain
,
and
put
the
whole
Countrey
into
a
combustion
.
Peregrin
.
Surely
it
is
impossible
that
a
rationall
Christian
people
shold
grow
so
simple
and
sottish
,
as
to
be
so
far
transported
,
without
some
colourable
cause
,
therfore
I
pray
tell
me
what
that
might
be
?
Patricius
.
The
cause
is
made
specious
enough
,
and
varnished
over
wonderfull
cunningly
;
The
people
are
made
to
believe
they
are
in
danger
,
and
a
prevention
of
that
danger
is
promised
,
and
by
these
plausible
ways
the
understanding
is
wrought
upon
,
and
an
affection
to
the
cause
is
usher'd
in
,
by
aggravation
of
this
danger
,
as
one
wold
draw
a
thred
through
a
needles
eye
:
This
huge
Bugbear
Danger
,
was
like
a
monster
of
many
heads
,
the
two
chiefest
were
these
▪
That
ther
was
a
plot
to
let
in
the
Pope
;
And
to
〈◊〉
the
civil
Government
into
a
French
frame
;
It
is
incredible
to
think
how
the
Pulpits
up
and
down
London
did
ring
of
this
by
brainsick
Lecturers
,
of
whom
som
were
come
from
New-England
,
others
were
pick'd
out
of
purpose
,
and
sent
for
from
their
own
flock
in
the
Countrey
,
to
possesse
,
or
rather
to
poison
the
hearts
of
the
Londoners
,
to
puzzle
their
intellectualls
,
and
to
intoxicat
their
brains
by
their
powerfull
gifts
;
It
was
punishable
to
preach
of
Peace
,
or
of
Caesars
Right
,
but
the
common
subject
of
the
pulpit
was
either
blasphemy
against
God
,
disobedience
against
the
King
,
or
incitements
to
sedition
;
Good
Lord
,
what
windy
frothy
stuff
came
from
these
fanatick
brains
;
These
Phrenetici
Nebulones
(
for
King
Iames
gives
them
no
better
Character
in
his
(
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
)
who
may
be
said
to
be
mad
out
of
too
much
ignorance
,
not
knowledg
;
who
neverthelesse
are
come
to
that
height
of
prophaness
and
pride
,
that
they
presume
to
father
all
their
doctrines
,
all
their
non-sense
,
raptures
and
ravings
upon
the
holy
Spirit
.
Nor
did
the
Pulpit
only
help
to
kindle
this
fire
,
but
the
Presse
also
did
contribute
much
stubble
;
What
base
scurrilous
Pamphlets
were
cryed
up
and
down
the
streets
,
and
dispersed
in
the
〈◊〉
?
What
palpable
and
horrid
lies
were
daily
printed
?
How
they
multiplied
in
every
corner
in
such
plenty
,
that
one
might
say
t●…er
was
a
superfaetation
of
lies
,
which
continue
unto
this
day
?
One
while
the
King
of
Denmark
was
comming
over
from
the
Sound
:
Another
while
the
King
of
France
had
a
huge
Army
about
Calais
design'd
for
England
:
Another
while
ther
was
an
Army
of
Irish
Rebels
comming
over
with
the
privity
of
the
King
:
Another
while
a
plot
was
cryed
up
and
down
to
burn
London
:
Another
while
ther
were
subterranean
invisible
troups
(
at
Ragland
Castle
)
mustered
under
ground
in
Wales
,
and
thousands
of
Papists
armed
in
Lancashire
,
and
divers
reports
of
this
nature
were
daily
blown
up
,
and
though
the
Authors
of
them
were
worthlesse
and
mean
futilous
persons
,
yet
the
reports
themselves
had
that
credit
as
to
be
entertain'd
and
canvas'd
in
the
High
Court
of
Parliament
.
But
these
false
rumors
produc'd
one
politick
effect
(
and
it
was
the
end
indeed
for
which
they
were
dispers'd
)
they
did
intimidat
and
fill
the
peoples
hearts
with
fears
,
and
dispose
of
them
to
up
roars
and
so
to
part
with
money
.
Peregrin
.
I
know
ther
be
sundry
sorts
of
Fears
;
ther
are
Conscientious
Fears
,
and
ther
are
●…annick
Fears
,
ther
are
Pusillanimous
Fears
,
and
ther
are
Politick
Fears
.
The
first
sort
of
Fear
proceeds
from
guilt
of
Conscience
,
which
turns
often
to
Phre●…cy
.
The
second
sort
of
Fear
may
be
call'd
a
kind
of
Chymera
,
't
is
som
sudden
surprizall
or
Consternation
arising
from
an
unknown
cause
.
Pusillanimous
Fear
makes
a
mountain
of
a
mole-hill
,
and
proceeds
from
poverty
of
spirit
,
and
want
of
courage
,
and
is
a
passion
of
abject
and
degenerous
minds
,
and
may
be
call'd
Cowardise
,
and
this
Fear
is
always
accompanied
with
jealousie
.
Politick
fear
,
is
a
created
forg'd
Fear
wrought
in
another
,
to
bring
som
design
about
;
And
as
we
find
the
Astronomers
(
the
comparison
is
too
good
)
do
imagin
such
and
such
shapes
and
circles
in
the
Heavens
,
as
the
Zodiak
,
Equinoctiall
,
Colures
,
Zones
and
Topiques
with
others
,
though
ther
be
no
such
things
really
in
nature
,
to
make
their
conclusions
good
.
So
the
Polititian
doth
often
devise
and
invent
false
imaginary
Fears
,
to
make
his
proceedings
more
plausible
amongst
the
silly
vulgar
,
and
therby
to
compasse
his
ends
:
And
as
the
Sun
useth
to
appear
far
bigger
to
us
in
the
morning
then
at
noon
,
when
he
is
exalted
to
his
Meridian
,
and
the
reason
the
Philosophers
use
to
give
,
is
the
interposition
of
the
vapours
which
are
commonly
in
the
lower
Region
,
through
which
we
look
upon
him
(
as
we
find
a
piece
of
silver
look
bigger
in
a
bucket
of
water
then
elsewhere
)
so
the
Polititian
uses
to
cast
strange
mists
of
Fear
,
and
fogs
of
jealousie
before
the
simple
peoples
eyes
,
to
make
the
danger
seem
bigger
:
But
truly
Sir
,
this
is
one
of
the
basest
kinds
of
policy
,
nor
can
I
believe
ther
be
any
such
Polititians
amongst
the
Cabalists
of
your
Parliament
,
who
pretend
to
be
so
busie
about
Gods
work
,
a
Glorious
Reformation
,
for
you
know
ther
is
a
good
Text
for
it
,
that
God
needeth
not
the
wicked
man
▪
he
abominats
to
be
beholding
to
liers
to
bring
about
his
purposes
:
But
I
pray
Sir
deal
freely
with
me
,
do
you
imamagin
ther
was
a
design
to
bring
in
the
Mass●…
again
?
Patricius
.
The
Masse
?
You
may
say
ther
was
a
plot
to
bring
in
Mahomet
as
soon
,
to
bring
in
the
Alchoran
,
or
Talmud
as
soon
;
For
I
dare
pawn
my
soul
,
the
King
is
as
Cordiall
a
Protestant
as
any
that
breathes
under
his
three
Crowns
,
which
besides
his
publick
deep
Protestations
,
and
his
constant
quotidian
exemplary
open
practise
,
many
other
convincing
private
reasons
induce
me
to
believe
,
and
it
is
in
vain
to
think
the
Pope
can
take
footing
here
to
any
purpose
without
the
Kings
leave
.
You
know
as
well
as
I
Sir
,
that
of
all
the
Reformed
Churches
in
Christendom
,
the
Lutheran
retains
most
of
the
Roman
,
both
in
his
positions
and
practise
,
and
comes
much
nearer
to
him
then
we
do
,
yet
I
have
observed
,
that
from
the
first
day
of
his
Reformation
,
to
this
,
He
is
as
averse
,
and
as
far
off
from
Rome
,
as
the
rigidest
Calvinist
that
is
;
And
shall
I
think
,
because
ther
are
som
humble
and
hansom
postures
,
and
decent
vestures
revived
in
our
Church
(
for
they
were
never
abolished
;
)
because
the
Communion
table
stands
in
the
East
end
where
it
ever
stood
since
Christianity
came
in
all
our
Cathedralls
,
which
shold
be
a
rule
to
all
inferiour
Churches
,
though
the
Seperatist
cries
it
up
most
falsly
to
be
an
Innovation
:
because
the
Queen
hath
a
few
simple
Capuchins
(
fewer
then
was
allowed
by
the
Matrimoniall
Capitulations
)
whither
to
retire
sometimes
:
Because
Schismaticks
were
proceeded
against
with
more
care
,
and
the
Government
of
the
Church
born
up
●…ately
with
more
countenance
,
shall
I
be●…ieve
out
of
all
this
that
the
Pope
must
pre●…ently
come
in
?
shall
I
believe
the
weakness
●…f
our
Religion
to
be
such
,
as
to
be
so
easily
●…aken
and
overturn'd
?
Yet
I
believe
ther
was
a
pernicious
plot
to
introduce
a
new
Religion
,
but
what
I
pray
?
not
Popery
,
but
Presbitry
,
and
with
it
to
bring
in
the
doctrine
of
Buchanan
and
Knox
for
civill
government
,
and
so
to
cast
our
Church
and
State
into
a
Scots
mould
.
Peregrin
.
Indeed
I
heard
the
English
much
derided
abroad
for
resigning
their
intellectualls
in
point
of
Religion
to
the
Scots
,
whom
from
Infidels
they
made
Christians
,
and
Reformed
Christians
first
,
and
now
for
the
English
to
run
to
them
for
a
Religion
,
and
that
the
Uniformity
&
reformation
shold
proceed
from
them
,
having
disdain'd
us
formerly
,
what
a
disparagement
is
it
thinke
you
to
the
Anglican
Church
?
This
with
other
odd
traverses
,
as
the
eclipsing
the
glory
of
the
King
,
and
bringing
him
back
to
a
kind
of
minoritie
,
the
tampering
with
his
conscience
,
I
will
not
say
the
straining
it
so
farre
,
the
depriving
him
of
all
kind
of
propertie
,
the
depressing
of
his
Regall
power
,
wherein
the
honour
of
a
nation
consists
,
and
which
the
English
were
us'd
to
uphold
more
then
any
other
,
for
no
King
hath
more
awful
attributs
from
his
subjects
,
as
Sacred
Sovereigne
,
gracious
and
most
Excellent
Majestie
,
nor
any
King
so
often
prayed
for
,
for
in
your
morning
Liturgie
he
is
five
times
prayed
for
,
whereas
other
Princes
are
mentioned
but
once
or
twice
at
most
in
their's
:
I
say
that
this
,
with
interception
of
letters
,
some
incivilities
offered
Ambassadors
,
and
the
bold
lavish
speeches
that
were
spoken
of
the
greatest
Queenes
in
Christendome
,
and
his
Majesties
late
withdrawing
his
Royall
protection
from
some
of
his
Merchant-Subjects
in
other
countreys
,
hath
made
the
English
lose
much
ground
in
point
of
esteeme
abroad
,
and
to
be
the
discourse
,
I
will
not
say
the
scorne
of
other
people
.
They
stick
not
to
say
,
that
there
is
now
a
worse
maladie
fallen
upon
their
minds
,
then
fell
upon
their
bodies
about
an
age
since
by
the
Sweating
sicknesse
,
which
was
peculiar
onely
unto
them
and
found
them
out
under
all
Climes
.
Others
say
,
there
is
a
pure
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
amongst
them
,
that
they
are
turn'd
to
Wolves
(
as
you
know
it
is
a
common
thing
in
L●…pland
)
&
that
the
old
Adage
is
verified
in
them
,
Homo
homini
lupus
;
Nay
our
next
neighbours
give
out
,
that
the
saying
was
never
truer
then
now
,
Rex
Anglorum
,
Rex
Diabolorum
.
Nor
is
it
a
small
disrepute
to
the
English
,
that
the
word
Cavalier
,
which
is
an
attribute
that
no
Prince
in
Christendome
will
disdain
,
and
is
the
common
Appellation
of
the
Nobilitie
and
Gentrie
in
most
parts
of
the
world
,
is
now
us'd
,
not
onely
in
Libels
and
frivolous
Pamphlets
,
but
in
publicke
Parliamentarie
Declarations
,
for
a
terme
of
reproach
.
But
truely
Sir
,
what
you
have
related
touching
the
Pulpit
and
the
Presse
,
transformes
me
into
wonder
,
and
I
should
want
faith
to
beleeve
it
,
did
you
not
speak
it
upon
your
knowledge
;
but
the
English
when
they
fall
to
worke
upon
a
new
humour
,
use
to
overdoe
all
people
.
Patricius
.
You
have
not
yet
the
tithe
of
what
I
could
give
you
,
you
would
little
think
that
Coachmen
,
and
Feltmakers
,
and
Weavers
were
permitted
to
preach
up
and
down
without
controulment
,
and
to
vent
their
froth
and
venome
against
Church
and
State
,
to
cry
downe
our
Hierarchy
and
Liturgie
,
by
most
base
and
reviling
speeches
.
Peregrin
.
Touching
your
Lyturgie
,
I
have
heard
it
censur'd
abroad
by
the
regidest
Calvinists
of
Generva
and
Dort
,
yet
I
never
heard
any
other
Character
given
of
it
,
but
that
it
is
a
most
Pious
,
Pathetick
,
and
perfect
peece
of
devotion
,
both
for
the
matter
and
forme
of
it
,
which
I
have
been
a
little
curious
to
observe
.
It
begins
with
some
choise
passages
of
holy
Scripture
,
and
a
previous
Declaration
or
Monitory
to
excite
us
to
the
worke
in
hand
;
The
first
addresse
wee
make
to
God
is
by
an
humble
and
joynt
Confession
which
is
appliable
to
any
conscience
,
and
comprehends
in
it
all
kind
of
sins
.
Then
followeth
a
pronuntiation
of
Gods
promises
and
pronesse
to
pardon
and
absolve
us
;
We
goe
on
to
the
Lords
Prayer
,
which
having
bin
dictated
by
our
Saviour
himself
we
often
use
,
and
is
as
Amber
throwne
in
amongst
our
Frankincense
,
to
make
the
Sacrifice
more
precious
and
pleasing
unto
God
;
Then
we
proceed
to
som
choice
Psalms
,
and
other
portions
of
holy
scripture
taken
out
of
the
old
and
new
testament
;
Then
we
fall
to
the
Symbole
of
faith
,
whereof
we
make
a
solemn
joynt
confession
in
such
a
posture
as
shews
a
readinesse
and
resolution
in
us
to
defend
it
:
and
so
to
the
Letany
,
wherein
the
poor
penitent
peccant
soul
may
be
said
to
breath
out
herself
into
the
bosome
of
her
Saviour
by
tender
ejaculations
,
by
panting
groans
,
&
eviscerated
ingeminations
,
and
there
is
no
sin
,
no
temptation
whatsoever
that
humane
frailty
is
subject
unto
,
but
you
shall
find
a
deliverance
from
it
there
,
it
is
so
full
of
Christian
charity
,
that
there
is
no
condition
of
people
,
but
are
remembred
and
prayed
for
there
.
Then
wee
proceed
by
holy
alternatif
interlocutions
(
whereby
wee
heare
our selves
speak
as
well
as
the
Minister
)
to
some
effectuall
short
prayers
;
because
in
long
prayers
the
minde
is
subject
to
wander
,
as
some
Zelots
now
a
dayes
use
to
bring
their
Hearers
into
a
Wildernesse
by
their
Prayers
,
and
into
a
Labyrinth
by
their
Sermons
.
Then
goe
we
on
to
the
Decalogue
,
and
if
it
be
in
a
Cathedrall
,
there
is
time
enough
for
the
Hearer
to
examine
himselfe
,
while
the
Musick
playes
,
where
and
when
he
broke
any
of
Gods
holy
Commandements
,
and
ask
particular
forgivenesse
accordingly
in
the
intervall
;
Then
after
other
choice
portions
of
Scripture
,
and
passages
relating
to
our
Redemption
,
and
endearing
,
unto
us
the
merits
of
it
,
with
a
more
particular
Confession
of
our
Faith
,
we
are
dismissed
with
a
Benediction
:
So
that
this
Liturgy
may
be
call'd
an
Instrument
of
many
strings
,
whereon
the
sighing
soul
sends
up
varions
notes
unto
heaven
:
It
is
a
posie
made
up
of
divers
flowers
,
to
make
it
the
more
fragrant
in
the
nostrills
of
God.
Now
touching
your
Bishops
,
I
never
knew
yet
any
Protestant
Church
but
could
be
content
to
have
them
,
had
they
meanes
to
maintaine
the
Dignitie
,
which
the
Churches
of
France
with
others
have
not
,
in
regerd
the
Reformation
beg
an
first
among
the
people
,
not
at
Court
,
as
here
it
did
in
Engl.
For
unlesse
ther
be
som
Supervisers
of
Gods
house
,
endowed
with
eminent
authority
to
check
the
fond
fancies
,
and
quench
the
false
fatuous
fires
of
every
private
spirit
,
and
unlesse
it
be
such
an
authority
that
may
draw
unto
it
a
holy
kind
of
awe
and
obedience
what
can
be
expected
but
confusion
and
Atheisme
?
You
know
what
became
of
the
Israelites
when
the
wonted
reverence
to
the
Ark
,
and
the
Ephod
,
and
the
Priest
,
began
to
languish
amongst
them
:
For
the
braine
of
man
is
like
a
garden
,
which
unlesse
it
be
fenced
about
with
a
wall
or
hedge
,
is
subject
you
know
to
be
annoyed
by
all
kinde
of
beasts
which
will
be
ready
to
runne
into
it
;
so
the
braine
unlesse
it
be
restrain'd
and
bounded
in
holy
things
by
rules
of
Canonicall
authoritie
,
a
thousand
wild
opinions
,
and
extravagant
fancies
will
hourely
rush
into
it
:
nor
was
there
ever
any
field
so
subject
to
produce
Cockle
and
Darnell
,
as
the
human
brain
is
rank
and
ready
to
bring
forth
tares
of
Schism
and
Heresie
of
a
thousand
sorts
,
unlesse
after
the
first
culture
the
sickle
of
Authority
be
applyed
to
grub
up
all
such
noisom
weeds
.
Patricius
.
Yet
this
most
antient
dignity
of
Bishops
is
traduced
and
vilified
by
every
shallow-pated
petty
Clerk
,
and
not
so
much
out
of
a
tru
zeal
,
as
out
of
envy
that
they
are
not
the
like
.
And
touching
our
Liturgy
,
wherof
you
have
bin
pleas'd
to
give
so
exact
a
Character
,
people
are
come
to
that
height
of
impiety
,
that
in
som
places
it
hath
bin
drown'd
,
in
other
places
burnt
,
in
som
places
torn
in
pieces
to
serve
for
the
basest
uses
,
nay
it
hath
bin
preached
publickly
in
Pulpits
,
That
it
is
a
piece
forg'd
in
the
devils
shop
,
and
yet
the
impious
foul
mouth'd
Babbler
never
was
so
much
as
questioned
for
it
.
Nor
did
the
Church
only
eccho
with
these
blasphemies
;
but
the
Presse
was
as
pregnant
to
produce
every
day
som
Monster
either
against
Ecclesiasticall
,
or
Secular
Government
.
I
am
asham'd
to
tell
you
how
som
bold
Pamphleters
in
a
discourse
of
a
sheet
or
two
,
wold
presume
to
question
,
to
dispute
of
,
and
determin
the
extent
of
Monarchik
jurisdiction
,
what
sturdy
doubts
,
what
sawcy
Quaeries
they
put
,
what
odd
frivolous
distinctions
they
f●…am'd
,
That
the
King
though
he
was
Gods
Anointed
,
yet
he
was
mans
appointed
:
That
he
had
the
commanding
,
not
the
disposing
power
:
That
he
was
set
to
rule
over
,
not
to
over-rule
the
people
;
That
he
was
King
by
human
choice
,
not
by
divine
Charter
;
That
he
was
not
King
by
the
Grace
of
God
,
so
much
as
by
the
suffrage
of
the
people
;
That
he
was
a
Creatur●…
and
production
of
the
Parliament
:
That
he
had
no
implicit
trust
,
nor
peculiar
property
in
any
thing
;
That
populus
est
potior
Rege
;
That
Grex
lege
,
lex
est
Rege
potentior
;
That
the
King
was
singulis
major
,
universis
minor
,
(
wheras
a
successive
Monarch
—
Uno
minor
est
Iove
.
—
Sometimes
they
wold
bring
instances
from
the
States
of
Holland
,
sometimes
from
the
Republick
of
Venice
,
and
apply
them
so
impertinently
to
absolute
and
independant
Royalty
;
But
I
find
that
the
discourse
and
inferences
of
these
grand
Statists
were
bottom'd
upon
four
false
foundations
,
viz.
That
the
King
of
whom
they
speak
must
be
either
a
Minor
,
and
Idiot
,
an
insufferable
Tyrant
,
or
that
the
Kingdom
they
mean
,
is
Elective
;
None
of
all
which
is
appliable
,
either
to
our
most
gracious
and
excellently
qualified
King
,
or
to
his
renowned
Kingdom
,
which
hath
bin
always
reputed
an
ancient
successive
Monarchy
,
govern'd
by
one
Suprem
undeposeable
and
independent
head
,
having
the
Dignity
,
the
Royall
State
,
and
power
of
an
Imperiall
Crown
,
and
being
responsible
to
none
●…ut
to
God
Almighty
and
his
own
〈◊〉
●…or
his
actions
,
and
unto
whom
a
Body
●…olitick
compacted
of
Prelates
,
〈◊〉
,
and
all
degrees
of
people
is
naturally
subject
;
but
this
is
a
theam
of
that
transcenden●…y
,
that
it
requires
a
serious
and
solid
Tractat
,
rather
then
such
a
slender
Discourse
as
this
is
to
handle
.
But
I
pray
excuse
me
Sir
,
that
I
have
stept
aside
thus
from
the
road
of
my
main
narration
;
I
told
you
before
,
how
the
clashing
'twixt
the
Commission
of
Array
,
and
the
Militia
,
put
all
things
in
disarray
throughout
the
whole
Kingdom
;
The
Parliament
as
they
had
taken
the
first
Military
gard
,
so
they
began
to
arm
first
,
and
was
it
not
high
time
then
for
His
Majesty
to
do
some
thing
think
you
?
yet
he
essayed
by
all
ways
imaginable
to
prevent
a
war
,
and
to
conquer
by
a
passive
fortitude
,
by
cunctation
,
and
longanimity
.
How
many
overtures
for
an
accommodation
did
he
make
?
How
many
Proclamations
of
pardon
?
How
many
elaborat
Declarations
breathing
nothing
but
clemency
,
sweetness
and
truth
did
drop
from
his
own
imperious
invincible
pen
,
which
will
remain
upon
Record
to
all
ages
,
as
so
many
Monuments
to
his
eternall
glory
?
Yet
som
ill
spirit
stept
still
in
,
between
his
Grace
,
and
the
abused
Subject
,
for
by
the
peremptory
Order
of
Parliament
(
O
monstrous
thing
)
the
said
Proclamations
of
Grace
,
and
other
His
Majesties
Declarations
were
prohibited
to
be
read
;
fearing
that
the
strength
and
truth
of
them
wold
have
had
a
vertue
to
unblind
,
or
rather
unbewitcht
(
for
Rebellion
is
as
the
sin
of
Witchcraft
)
the
poor
besotted
people
:
What
deep
Protestations
and
holy
Vowes
did
he
reiterate
that
the
main
of
his
designs
,
was
to
preserve
the
tru
Protestant
Religion
,
the
known
Lawes
of
the
Land
,
and
the
just
priviledges
of
Parliament
?
How
often
did
he
dehort
and
woo
the
City
of
London
(
his
imperiall
Chamber
)
from
such
violent
courses
,
so
that
she
may
be
justly
upbraided
with
the
same
words
,
as
the
Prince
of
peace
upbraided
Ierusalem
withall
:
London
,
London
,
How
often
wold
I
have
gathered
thee
,
as
a
●…en
doth
her
chickens
under
her
wings
,
yet
thou
wouldst
not
?
How
often
did
he
descend
to
acknowledg
the
manner
of
demanding
the
one
and
five
Members
in
his
publick
Remonstrances
?
and
if
ther
was
an
errour
in
the
proceedings
,
how
oft
did
he
desire
his
Great
Councell
to
direct
him
in
a
course
how
to
go
on
in
the
Empeachment
?
which
they
never
did
,
but
wold
reserve
the
priviledge
to
themselves
to
be
judge
and
party
.

Can
your
Parliament
protect
high
Treason
?
I
am
sure
the
character
of
an
Ambassadour
cannot
,
which
the
late
French
Ambassadour
(
who
for
his
time
play'd
his
Cards
more
cunning
than
ever
Count
Gondomar
did
)
knew
well
;
and
therefore
,
as
I
heard
som
French
men
say
,
he
got
Letters
of
Revocation
before
his
designed
time
:
but
it
seems
strange
to
me
,
that
the
King
who
is
the
Protectour
of
the
Law
,
and
Fountain
of
Justice
,
cannot
have
the
benefit
of
the
Law
himself
,
which
the
meanest
of
his
vassals
can
claim
by
right
of
inheritance
:
'T
is
strange
,
I
say
,
that
the
Law
shold
be
a
dead
letter
to
him
who
is
the
Life
of
the
Law
,
but
that
for
omission
of
some
punctillio
in
the
form
of
the
Processe
,
the
charge
of
high
Treason
shold
be
so
slightly
wav'd
,
specially
Treason
of
so
universall
a
concernment
,
that
it
may
be
call'd
a
complication
of
many
Treasons
;
for
if
in
every
petty
State
it
be
High
Treason
to
treat
only
with
any
Forrein
Power
without
the
privity
of
the
Prince
,
it
must
needs
be
Treason
of
a
higher
nature
actually
to
bring
them
in
;
And
hereof
I
could
alleadge
you
many
pregnant
instances
,
ancient
and
modern
,
but
that
I
do
not
desire
to
interrupt
you
in
your
relation
.
Patricius
.
The
Parliament
,
as
I
told
you
before
,
armed
apace
,
it
was
not
fitting
then
His
Majesty
shold
sit
idle
;
therfore
he
summons
those
Nobles
and
others
,
who
had
an
immediate
relation
unto
him
by
Office
or
Service
,
to
attend
him
at
York
,
according
to
their
particular
obligation
and
oath
:
But
it
seems
the
Parliament
assumed
power
to
dispence
with
those
oaths
,
and
excuse
their
attendance
,
which
dispensation
prevail'd
with
som
(
tender
)
consciences
;
yet
the
Great
Seal
posted
to
Court
,
and
after
it
most
of
the
Nobles
of
the
Land
,
with
the
flower
of
the
Gentry
,
and
many
of
the
prime
Members
of
the
Commons
House
;
so
that
were
it
not
for
the
locall
priviledge
,
the
Parliament
for
number
of
Members
,
might
be
said
to
be
ever
since
about
the
King
:
These
Nobles
and
Gentlemen
resenting
His
Majesties
case
,
and
what
practices
ther
were
on
foot
to
alter
the
Government
both
of
Church
and
State
,
not
only
advised
His
Majesty
to
a
royall
war
for
defence
of
his
Crown
and
Dignity
,
but
contributed
very
chearfully
,
and
have
stood
constant
to
the
work
ever
since
.
Peregrin
.
They
have
good
reason
for
it
,
for
the
security
of
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
depends
upon
the
strength
of
the
Crown
,
otherwise
popular
Government
wold
rush
in
like
a
torrent
upon
them
.
But
surely
those
Nobles
,
and
those
Parliament
Gentlemen
and
others
,
som
of
whom
I
understand
,
were
reputed
the
wisest
and
best
weigh'd
men
for
experience
and
parts
thorowout
the
whole
Kingdom
,
and
were
cryed
up
in
other
Parliaments
to
be
the
most
zealous
Patriots
for
the
propriety
and
freedom
of
the
Subject
,
wold
never
have
stuck
so
firmly
to
His
Majesty
,
had
they
not
known
the
bottom
of
his
designs
,
that
it
was
far
from
his
thoughts
to
bring
in
the
Pope
or
French
Government
;
for
therby
they
shold
have
betrayed
their
own
posterity
,
and
made
their
children
slaves
.
Patricius
.
To
my
knowledge
,
these
Nobles
and
Gentlemen
are
still
the
very
same
as
they
were
in
former
Parliaments
,
wherin
they
were
so
cryed
up
for
the
truest
lovers
of
their
Country
,
and
best
Common-wealths-men
;
yet
now
they
are
branded
,
and
voted
to
be
Seducers
,
and
Traytors
,
because
according
to
their
oaths
and
consciences
,
they
adhere
to
the
King
their
Master
and
Liege-Lord
,
for
maintenance
of
that
Religion
they
were
baptized
and
bred
in
.
Those
most
Orthodox
and
painfull
Divines
,
which
till
this
Parliament
began
were
accounted
the
precisest
sort
of
Protestants
,
are
now
cryed
down
for
Papists
,
though
they
continue
still
the
very
same
men
,
both
for
opinions
and
preaching
,
and
are
no
more
Papists
than
I
am
a
Pythagorean
.
In
fine
,
a
tru
English
Protestant
is
put
now
in
the
same
scale
with
a
Papist
,
and
made
Synonyma's
.
And
truly
these
unhappy
Schismaticks
could
not
devise
how
to
cast
a
greater
infamy
upon
the
English
Protestant
than
they
have
done
of
late
by
these
monstrous
imputations
;
they
wold
fasten
upon
him
such
opinions
which
never
entred
into
his
thoughts
,
they
wold
know
ones
heart
better
than
himself
,
and
so
would
be
greater
Kardiognosticks
than
God
Almighty
.
But
to
draw
to
a
conclusion
;
The
Parliaments
Army
multiplyed
apace
in
London
,
the
Kings
but
slowly
in
the
North
,
so
that
when
he
displayed
his
Royal
Standard
at
Nottingham
,
his
Forces
were
not
any
thing
considerable
,
so
that
if
the
Parliaments
Generall
(
Essex
)
had
then
advanced
towards
him
from
Northampton
,
he
had
put
him
to
a
very
great
strait
;
they
encreased
somthing
at
Derby
,
and
Stafford
,
but
when
he
was
come
to
Shrewsbury
,
the
Welch-men
came
running
down
the
mountains
in
such
multitudes
,
that
their
example
did
much
animate
the
English
;
so
that
his
army
in
lesse
than
a
month
that
the
Court
continued
in
Shrewsbury
,
came
to
near
upon
twenty
thousand
Horse
and
Foot
;
not
long
before
,
the
Nephew
Princes
came
over
,
and
the
first
encounter
Prince
Rupert
had
with
the
Parliaments
Forces
was
at
Worcester
,
where
he
defeated
the
flower
of
their
Cavalry
,
and
gave
them
a
smart
blow
.
At
Shrewsbury
His
Majesty
took
a
resolution
to
march
with
His
whole
Army
towards
London
,
but
after
seven
days
march
he
understood
the
Parliaments
Forces
were
within
six
miles
side-long
of
him
,
and
so
many
miles
he
went
out
of
His
road
to
find
them
out
,
and
face
them
:
Upon
Sunday
morning
he
was
himself
betimes
upon
Edge-Hill
,
wher
the
Enemies
Colours
plainly
appear'd
in
vale
before
Keinton
;
it
was
past
two
in
the
after-noon
before
all
his
Infantery
could
get
to
the
bottom
,
who
upon
sight
of
the
Enemies
Colours
ran
as
merrily
down
the
Hill
,
as
if
they
had
gone
to
a
Morris
dance
.
So
His
Majesty
himself
being
Generalissimo
,
gave
command
the
great
Ordnance
shold
flye
for
a
defiance
,
so
the
battell
began
,
which
lasted
above
three
hours
,
and
as
some
French
and
Dutch
Commanders
(
who
were
engag'd
in
the
Fight
)
told
me
,
they
never
remembred
to
have
seen
a
more
furious
battail
for
the
time
in
all
the
German
wars
.
Prince
Rupert
pursued
the
Enemies
Horse
like
a
whirl-wind
near
upon
three
miles
,
and
had
ther
bin
day
enough
,
when
he
came
back
to
the
Infanterie
,
in
all
probability
a
totall
defeat
had
bin
given
them
:
So
that
the
same
accident
may
be
said
to
fall
out
here
,
as
happened
in
that
famous
battell
at
Lewis
,
in
Henry
the
thirds
time
,
where
the
Prince
of
Wales
(
afterwards
Edward
the
first
)
was
so
eager
,
and
went
so
far
(
by
excesse
of
courage
)
from
the
body
of
the
Army
in
pursuance
of
the
Londoners
,
that
it
was
the
fatall
cause
of
the
losse
of
that
mighty
battail
.
His
Majesty
(
to
his
deserved
and
never-dying
glory
)
comported
himself
like
another
Caesar
all
the
while
,
by
riding
about
and
encouraging
the
Souldiers
,
by
exposing
his
person
often
to
the
reach
of
a
Musket-bullet
,
and
lying
in
the
field
all
that
bleak
night
in
his
Coach.
Notwithstanding
that
many
lying
Pamphlets
were
purposely
printed
here
,
to
make
the
world
believe
that
he
had
retir'd
himself
all
the
time
of
the
fight
;
what
partiall
reports
were
made
in
the
Guild-Hall
to
the
Londoners
,
and
by
what
persons
,
(
W.
and
Strode
)
I
am
ashamed
to
tell
you
:
But
that
His
Majesty
was
victorious
that
day
(
a
day
which
I
never
thought
to
have
seen
in
England
)
ther
be
many
convincing
arguments
to
prove
it
;
for
besides
the
great
odds
of
men
which
fell
on
their
side
,
and
Cannons
they
lost
,
som
of
their
Ordnance
were
nayl'd
by
the
Kings
Troops
the
next
morning
after
in
the
very
face
of
their
Army
.
Moreover
,
the
King
advanc'd
forward
the
next
day
to
his
former
road
,
and
took
Banbury
presently
after
;
but
the
Parliamenteers
went
backwards
,
and
so
from
that
day
to
this
,
His
Majesty
continueth
Master
of
the
field
.
'T
is
tru
,
that
in
som
places
,
as
at
Farnham
,
Winchester
,
and
Chichester
,
they
have
prevail'd
since
,
but
no
considerable
part
of
the
Royall
Army
was
ther
to
make
opposition
;
and
I
blush
to
tell
you
,
how
unworthily
the
Law
of
Armes
was
violated
in
all
those
places
.
Peregrin

Good
Lord
,
how
can
the
souls
of
those
men
that
were
in
the
Parliaments
Army
at
Keinton
Battell
,
dispense
with
the
Oaths
of
Supremacy
and
Allegeance
,
besides
the
Protestation
you
speak
of
,
they
had
taken
to
preserve
the
Person
,
Honour
,
and
Prerogative
of
the
King
,
when
they
thus
actually
bandy
against
his
Person
,
and
appear
in
battel
with
all
the
engines
of
hostility
against
him
?
Patricius

I
wold
be
loth
to
exchange
consciences
with
them
,
and
prevaricate
so
palpably
with
God
Almighty
;
Touching
the
Cavaliers
,
they
may
be
said
to
comply
with
their
duties
both
towards
God
and
their
King
according
to
the
Oaths
you
mention
;
Moreover
,
ther
was
a
strong
Act
of
Parliament
(
for
their
security
)
which
was
never
as
much
as
questioned
or
controverted
,
much
lesse
suspended
or
repeal'd
:
But
always
stood
,
and
yet
stands
in
as
full
validity
and
force
,
as
it
was
the
first
day
it
was
Enacted
,
and
as
much
binding
to
an
universall
obedience
,
which
Act
runs
thus
:

This
is
as
plain
and
fair
as
can
be
for
securing
both
the

was
ther
ever
any
Act

Oath

or
any

an
Oath
that
oblig'd
Englishmen
to
be
tru

or
fight
for
the
Parliament
?
Patricius
.
Never
any
,
but
these
men
by
a
new
kind
of
Metaphysicks
have
found
out
a
way
to
abstract
the
Person
of
the
King
from
his
Office
,
to
make
his
Soveraigntie
a
kind
of
Platonick
Idea
hovering
in
the
aire
,
while
they
visibly
attempt
to
assaile
and
destroy
his
Person
and
Progeny
,
by
small
and
great
shot
,
and
seek
him
out
amongst
his
life-Gard
with
fire
and
sword
;
yet
they
give
out
,
they
fight
not
only
not
against
him
,
but
for
him
,
and
that
their
army
is
more
loyall
unto
him
than
his
owne
;
who
,
they
say
,
fight
only
for
the
name
King
,
though
they
have
his
person
really
amongst
them
,
commanding
and
directing
:
Thus
they
make
Him
a
strange
kind
of
Amphibium
,
they
make
in
one
instant
a
King
and
no
King
of
the
same
Individuum
;
a
power
which
the
Casuists
affirme
God
Almighty
never
assumed
to
himself
,
to
doe
any
thing
that
implies
a
contradiction
.
Peregrin

Noble
Sir
,
you
make
my
heart
to
pant
within
me
,
by
the
Pathetick
relation
you
have
been
pleas'd
to
make
mee
of
these
●…uthfull
times
;
But
one
thing
seems
to
me
to
be
no
lesse
then
a
miracle
,
how
his
Majestie
hath
beene
able
to
subsist
all
this
while
,
considering
the
infinite
advantages
the
averse
partie
hath
had
of
him
;
for
they
have
all
the
tenable
places
and
townes
of
strength
,
both
by
land
and
sea
;
They
have
the
Navie
royall
,
they
have
all
the
Amunition
and
Armes
of
the
Crown
,
they
have
all
the
Imposts
and
Customs
,
Poundage
and
Tonnage
(
which
they
levie
contrary
to
their
former
Protestation
before
the
Bill
be
pass'd
)
They
have
the
Exchequer
at
their
devotion
,
and
all
the
Revenue
of
the
King
,
Queen
,
and
Prince
,
and
lastly
,
they
have
the
citie
of
London
,
which
may
be
eall'd
a
Magazin
of
money
and
men
,
where
there
is
a
ready
supplie
and
superfluitie
of
all
things
,
that
may
seed
,
clothe
,
or
make
men
gay
to
put
them
in
heart
and
resolution
:
Truely
considering
all
these
advantages
,
with
divers
others
on
their
side
,
and
the
disadvantages
on
the
Kings
,
it
turnes
me
into
a
lump
of
astonishment
,
how
his
Majestie
could
beare
up
all
this
while
,
and
keep
together
so
many
Armies
,
and
be
still
master
of
the
Field
.
Patricius
.
I
confesse
Sir
,
it
is
a
just
subject
for
wonderment
,
and
we
must
ascribe
it
principally
to
God
Almightie
,
who
is
the
Protectour
of
his
Anointed
,
for
his
hand
hath
manifestly
appear'd
in
the
conduct
of
his
affaires
;
Hee
hath
been
the
Pilot
,
who
hath
sate
at
the
helme
ever
s●…nce
this
storme
began
,
and
will
we
hope
continue
to
steer
his
course
till
he
waft
him
to
safe
harbour
againe
;
Adde
hereunto
,
that
his
Majesty
for
his
own
part
,
hath
beene
wonderfully
stirring
,
and
indefatigable
both
for
his
body
and
minde
;
And
what
notable
things
HER
Majesty
hath
done
,
and
what
she
hath
suffered
,
is
fitter
for
Chronicle
,
then
such
a
simple
Discourse
.
Hereunto
may
be
added
besides
,
that
his
Majestie
hath
three
parts
of
foure
of
the
Peeres
,
and
Prime
Gentrie
of
the
Kingdom
firme
unto
him
,
and
they
will
venture
hard
before
they
will
come
under
a
popular
government
and
mechanicall
corporations
,
or
let
in
Knox
or
Calvin
to
undermine
this
Church
,
and
bring
in
their
bawdy
stool
of
Repentance
.
Peregrin

Truely
Sir
,
amongst
other
Countreys
,
I
extreamly
long'd
to
see
England
,
and
I
am
no
sooner
come
,
but
I
am
surfeited
of
her
already
,
I
doubt
the
old
Prophecie
touching
this
Island
is
come
now
to
be
verified
,
That
the
Churchman
was
,
the
Lawyer
is
,
and
the
Souldier
shall
be
.
I
am
afraid
the
English
have
seene
their
best
dayes
;
for
I
find
a
generall
kind
of
infatuation
,
a
totall
Eclipse
of
reason
amongst
most
of
them
;
and
commonly
a
generall
infatuation
precedes
the
perdition
of
a
people
;
like
a
fish
,
that
putrifieth
first
in
the
head
;
Therefore
I
will
trusse
up
my
baggage
and
over
again
,
after
I
have
enjoyed
you
some
dayes
,
and
received
your
commands
.
Patricius
.
Dear
Sir
,
If
you
seriously
resolve
to
crosse
the
Seas
againe
so
soon
,
I
may
chance
beare
you
company
,
for
as
you
have
since
the
short
time
of
your
sojourn
here
judiciously
observed
a
national
defection
of
reason
in
the
people
of
this
Island
,
which
makes
her
so
active
in
drawing
on
her
own
ruine
;
so
by
longer
experience
,
and
by
infallible
Symptomes
I
find
a
strange
kind
of
Vertigo
to
have
seized
upon
her
,
which
I
feare
will
turne
to
the
falling
sicknesse
,
or
such
a
frenzie
that
will
make
her
to
dash
out
her
own
braines
:
Nor
are
her
miseries
,
I
feare
,
come
yet
to
the
full
;
It
is
the
method
of
the
Almightie
,
when
he
pleases
to
punish
a
people
,
to
begin
with
roddes
,
to
goe
on
with
scourges
,
and
if
they
will
not
do
,
he
hath
Scorpions
for
them
:
Therefore
,
I
will
breath
any
where
sooner
then
here
,
for
what
securitie
or
contentment
can
one
receive
in
that
Countrey
,
where
Religion
and
Iustice
,
the
two
grand
Dorique
Columnes
which
support
every
State
,
are
fallen
down
?
which
makes
all
conditions
of
men
,
all
professions
and
trades
to
go
here
daylie
to
utter
ruine
.
The
Churchman
grows
every
day
more
despicable
,
as
if
he
had
no
propertie
in
any
thing
,
nor
is
there
any
way
left
him
to
recover
his
Tithe
,
but
by
costly
troublesome
sutes
.
The
Civilian
,
a
brave
learned
profession
,
hath
already
made
his
last
Will
;
And
the
Common
Lawyers
case
is
little
better
;
The
Courtier
cannot
get
his
Pension
;
The
Gentleman
cannot
recover
his
rents
,
but
either
they
are
sequestred
by
a
high
hand
of
unexampled
power
,
or
else
the
poor
tenant
is
so
heavily
assess'd
or
plundred
,
that
he
is
disabled
to
pay
them
in
;
All
kind
of
Comerce
both
domestick
and
forrein
visibly
decayes
,
and
falls
more
and
more
,
into
the
hands
of
strangers
(
to
the
no
small
dishonour
of
the
wisedome
of
this
Nation
)
nor
can
the
Tradesman
recover
his
debts
,
Parliamentary
Protections
continue
still
in
such
numbers
,
so
that
it
is
a
greater
priviledge
now
to
be
a
footman
to
the
meanest
of
the
Lower
House
,
then
to
be
of
the
Kings
Bed
chamber
:
Prenti●…es
run
away
from
their
masters
,
and
against
their
fathers
intent
turn
souldiers
,
and
for
money
,
which
is
the
soul
of
trade
,
I
beleeve
since
the
beginning
of
this
Parliament
,
above
one
half
of
the
treasure
of
the
Kingdome
is
either
conveyed
to'ther
side
of
the
Sea
,
or
buried
under
ground
,
whence
it
must
be
new
digg'd
up
againe
.
Moreover
,
all
things
are
here
grown
Arbitrary
(
yet
that
word
took
off
the
Earle
of
Straffords
head
)
Religion
,
Law
,
and
Allegiance
is
growne
Arbitrary
;
nor
dares
the
Iudge
upon
the
Tribunall
(
according
to
his
oath
)
do
justice
,
but
he
is
over-awed
by
Ordinance
;
or
els
the
least
intimation
of
the
sense
of
the
lower
House
is
sufficient
to
enjoyne
him
the
contrary
,
so
that
now
,
more
then
ever
,
it
may
be
said
here
,
—
Terras
Astraea
reliquit
.
—
peace
also
hath
rov'd
up
and
downe
this
Island
,
and
cannot
get
a
place
to
lay
her
head
on
;
she
hoped
to
have
had
entertainment
in
York-shire
by
the
agreement
of
the
best
Gentlemen
in
the
Countrey
;
but
an
Ordinance
of
Parliament
beat
her
out
of
doores
;
Then
she
thought
to
rest
in
Cheshire
,
and
by
a
solemne
Covenant
she
was
promis'd
to
be
preserv'd
ther
,
the
principal
Agents
of
that
Covenant
having
protested
every
one
upon
the
word
of
a
Gentleman
,
and
as
they
did
desire
to
prosper
,
both
themselves
,
their
tenants
and
friends
,
,
shold
strictly
observe
it
;
but
the
like
Ordinance
of
Parliament
battered
down
that
Agreement
.
Then
she
thought
to
take
footing
in
the
West
,
and
first
in
Dorcetshire
,
then
in
Cornwall
and
Devonshire
,
and
by
the
holy
tie
of
the
blessed
Sacrament
she
was
promised
to
be
preserved
ther
;
but
another
Ordinance
of
Parliament
is
pursuing
her
,
to
dispense
with
the
Commissioners
of
the
said
Agreement
for
their
Oaths
.
Lastly
,
His
Majesty
is
mainly
endeavouring
to
bring
her
in
again
thorowout
the
whole
Land
;
but
the
furious
,
phrentique
Schismaticks
will
have
none
of
her
;
for
as
one
of
them
(
besides
a
thousand
instances
more
)
preach'd
in
one
of
the
most
populous
Congregations
about
the
City
,
It
were
better
that
London
streets
ran
with
bloud
,
and
that
dead
carkasses
were
piled
up
as
high
as
the
battlements
of
Pauls
,
than
peace
should
be
now
brought
in
.
And
now
that
Peace
is
shut
out
,
Learning
is
upon
point
of
despair
,
her
Colledges
are
become
Courts
of
Gard
,
and
Mars
lieth
in
Mercuries
bed
.
Honour
also
,
with
her
Court
,
lieth
in
the
dust
;
the
Cobler
may
confront
the
Knight
,
the
Boor
the
Baron
,
and
ther
is
no
judicial
way
of
satisfaction
;
which
makes
Monarchy
fear
she
hath
no
long
time
of
abode
here
.
Publick
Faith
also
,
though
she
had
but
newly
set
up
for
her self
,
is
suddenly
become
Bankrupt
,
and
how
could
she
choose
?
for
more
of
the
Kingdoms
treasure
hath
bin
spent
within
these
thirty
moneths
,
than
was
spent
in
four-score
yeares
before
;
but
she
hopes
to
piece
up
her self
again
,
by
the
ruines
of
the
Church
;
but
let
her
take
heed
of
that
,
for
those
goods
have
bin
fatall
to
many
thousand
families
in
this
Kingdom
:
yet
,
she
thinks
much
,
that
those
publick
summs
which
were
given
to
suppresse
one
rebellion
(
in
Ireland
)
shold
be
employed
to
maintain
another
rebellion
(
in
England
.
)
And
lastly
,
methinks
,
I
see
Religion
in
torn
ragged
weeds
,
and
with
slubber'd
eyes
sitting
upon
Weeping-Crosse
,
and
wringing
her
hands
,
to
see
her
chiefest
Temple
(
Pauls
Church
)
where
God
Almighty
was
us'd
to
be
serv'd
constantly
thrice
a
day
,
and
was
the
Rendezvouz
,
and
as
it
were
the
Mother
Church
,
standing
open
to
receive
all
commers
and
strangers
,
to
be
now
shut
up
,
and
made
only
a
thorow-fare
for
Porters
;
to
see
those
scaffolds
,
the
expence
of
so
many
thousand
pounds
,
to
lie
rotting
;
to
see
her
chiefest
lights
like
to
be
extinguished
;
to
see
her
famous
learned
Divines
dragg'd
to
prison
,
and
utterly
depriv'd
of
the
benefit
of
the
Common
Law
,
their
inheritance
:
Methinks
,
I
say
,
I
see
Religion
packing
up
,
and
preparing
to
leave
this
Island
quite
,
crying
out
,
that
this
is
Countrey
fitter
for
Atheists
than
Christians
to
live
in
;
for
God
Almighty
is
here
made
the
greatest
Malignant
,
in
regard
his
House
is
plunder'd
more
than
any
:
Ther
is
no
Court
left
to
reform
heresie
,
no
Court
to
punish
any
Church
Officer
,
and
to
make
him
attend
his
Cure
,
not
Court
to
punish
Fornication
,
Adultery
,
or
Incest
:
Methinks
I
hear
Her
cry
out
against
these
her
Grand
Reformers
(
or
Refiners
rather
)
that
they
have
put
division
'twixt
all
degrees
of
persons
.
They
have
put
division
'twixt
husband
and
wife
,
'twixt
mother
and
child
:
The
son
seeks
his
fathers
bloud
in
open
field
,
one
brother
seeks
to
cut
the
others
throat
;
they
have
put
division
'twixt
master
and
servant
,
'twixt
Land
-
Lord
and
Tenant
;
nay
,
they
have
a
long
time
put
a
sea
of
separation
'twixt
King
and
Queen
;
and
they
labour
more
and
more
to
put
division
'twixt
the
Head
and
the
Members
,
'twixt
His
Majesty
and
his
politicall
Spouse
,
his
Kingdom
:
And
lastly
,
they
have
plung'd
one
of
the
flourishingst
Kingdoms
of
Europe
in
a
war
without
end
;
for
though
a
Peace
may
be
plaister'd
over
for
the
time
,
I
fear
it
will
be
but
like
a
fire
cover'd
with
ashes
,
which
will
break
out
again
,
as
long
as
these
fiery
Schismaticks
have
any
strength
in
this
Island
;
so
that
all
the
premisses
considered
,
if
Turk
or
Tartar
,
or
all
the
infernal
spirits
and
Cacodaemons
of
hel
had
broken
in
amongst
us
,
they
could
not
have
done
poor
England
more
mischief
.
Sir
,
I
pray
you
excuse
this
homely
imperfect
relation
,
I
have
a
thousand
things
more
to
impart
unto
you
when
we
may
breathe
freer
air
;
for
here
we
are
come
to
that
slavery
,
that
one
is
in
danger
to
have
his
very
thoughts
plundered
;
Therfore
if
you
please
to
accept
of
my
company
,
I
will
over
with
you
by
Gods
help
,
so
soon
as
it
may
stand
with
your
conveniency
,
but
you
must
not
discover
me
to
be
an
Englishman
,
abroad
:
for
so
I
may
be
jeer'd
at
and
kickt
in
the
streets
;
I
will
go
under
another
name
,
and
am
fix'd
in
this
resolution
,
never
to
breathe
English
aire
again
,
untill
the
King
recovers
his
Crown
,
and
the
People
the
right
use
of
their
Pericraniums

THE
SECOND
PART

A
DISCOURSE
'
TWIXT
PATRICIUS
AND
PEREGRIN
,
TOUCHING
The
DISTEMPERS
OF
THE
TIMES
.
LONDON
,
Printed
in
the
Year
,
1661.
A
DISCOURS
,
or
PARLY
,
Continued
betwixt
Patricius
and
Peregrin
,
Upon
their
landing
in
France
,
touching
the
civil
Wars
of
England
and
Ireland
.
Peregrin
.
GEntle
Sir
,
you
are
happily
arrived
on
this
shore
;
we
are
now
upon
firm
ground
,
upon
the
fair
Continent
of
France
;
we
are
not
circumscrib'd
,
or
coopt
up
within
the
narrow
bounds
of
a
rhumatick
Island
;
we
have
all
Europe
before
us
.
Truly
I
am
not
a
little
glad
to
have
shaken
hands
with
that
tumbling
Element
the
Sea
;
And
for
England
,
I
never
intend
to
see
her
again
in
the
mind
I
am
in
,
unlesse
it
be
in
a
Map
;
nay
,
In
statu
quo
nunc
,
while
this
Faction
reigns
,
had
I
left
one
eye
behind
me
,
I
should
hardly
returne
thither
to
fetch
it
;
therefore
if
I
be
missing
at
any
time
,
never
look
for
me
there
.
There
is
an
old
Proverb
,
From
a
blacke
German
,
a
white
Italian
,
a
red
Frenchman
,
I
may
adde
one
member
more
,
and
,
from
a
Round-headed
Englishman
,
The
Lord
deliver
us
.
I
have
often
Crossed
these
Seas
,
and
I
found
my self
alwaies
pitifully
sick
,
I
did
ever
and
anon
tell
what
Wood
the
Ship
was
made
of
;
but
in
this
passage
I
did
not
feele
the
least
motion
or
distemper
in
my
humors
:
for
,
indeed
I
had
no
time
to
taink
on
sicknesse
,
I
was
so
wholly
tsken
up
,
and
transported
with
such
a
pleasing
conceit
,
to
have
left
yonder
miserable
Island
.
Peregrin
.
Miserable
Island
indeed
;
for
I
thinke
there
was
never
such
a
tyrannie
exercised
in
any
Christian
Countrey
under
Heaven
;
a
tyrannie
that
extends
not
onely
to
the
body
,
but
to
the
braine
also
;
not
only
to
mens
fortunes
and
estates
,
but
it
reaches
to
their
very
soules
and
consciences
,
by
violented
new
coercive
Oaths
and
Protestations
,
compos'd
by
Lay-men
,
inconsistent
with
the
liberty
of
Christians
.
Never
was
there
a
Nation
carried
away
by
such
a
strong
spirit
of
delusion
;
never
was
there
a
poor
people
so
purblinded
and
Puppified
,
if
I
may
say
so
,
as
I
finde
them
to
be
;
so
that
I
am
at
a
stand
with
my selfe
,
whether
I
shall
pitie
them
more
,
or
laugh
at
them
.
They
not
onely
kisse
the
stone
that
hurts
them
,
but
the
hands
of
them
that
hurle
it
;
they
are
come
to
that
passive
stupidity
,
that
they
adore
their
very
persecutors
,
who
from
polling
fall
now
a
shaving
them
,
and
will
flay
them
at
last
if
they
continue
this
popular
reigne
.
I
cannot
compare
England
,
as
the
case
stands
with
her
,
more
properly
,
then
to
a
poor
beast
,
sicke
of
the
staggers
,
who
cannot
be
cur'd
without
an
incision
.
The
Astronomers
,
I
remember
,
affirme
that
the
Moone
(
which
predominates
over
all
humid
bodies
)
hath
a
more
powerfull
influence
o're
your
British
Seas
then
any
other
;
so
that
according
to
the
observation
of
some
Nevigators
,
they
swell
at
a
spring
tide
in
some
places
,
above
threescore
cubits
high
:
I
am
of
opinion
,
that
that
inconstant
humorous
Planet
,
hath
also
an
extraordinany
dominion
over
the
braines
of
the
Inhabitants
;
for
when
they
attempt
any
Innovation
(
whereunto
all
Insulary
people
are
more
subject
then
other
Citizens
of
the
world
which
are
fixed
upon
the
Continent
)
they
swell
higher
,
their
fancies
worke
stronglier
,
and
so
commit
stranger
extravagancies
then
any
other
:
witnesse
these
monstrous
barbarismes
and
violencies
,
which
have
bin
,
and
are
daily
offered
to
Religion
and
just●…ce
,
(
the
two
grand
supporters
of
all
States
)
yea
,
to
humane
Reason
it self
since
the
beginning
of
these
tumults
.
And
now
,
noble
Sir
,
give
me
leave
to
render
you
my
humble
thanks
for
that
true
and
solid
information
you
pleased
to
give
me
in
London
of
these
commotions
.
During
my
short
sojourne
there
,
I
lighted
on
divers
odde
Pamphlets
upon
the
Seamstresses
stalls
,
whom
I
wondred
to
see
selling
Paper
sheets
in
lieu
of
Holland
:
on
the
one
side
I
found
the
most
impudent
untruths
(
vouch'd
by
publike
authority
)
the
basest
scurrilities
,
and
poorest
jingles
of
wit
that
ever
I
read
in
my
life
;
on
the
other
side
I
met
with
many
pieces
that
had
good
stuff
in
them
,
but
gave
mee
not
(
being
a
stranger
)
a
full
satisfaction
,
they
look'd
no
further
then
the
beginning
of
this
Parliament
,
and
the
particular
emergences
thereof
:
but
you
have
,
by
your
methodicall
relation
,
so
perfectly
instructed
and
rectified
my
understanding
,
by
bringing
me
to
the
very
source
of
these
distempers
,
and
led
me
all
along
the
side
of
the
current
by
so
streight
a
line
,
that
I
believe
,
whosoever
will
venture
upon
the
most
intricate
task
of
penning
the
story
of
these
vertiginous
times
,
will
finde
himself
not
a
little
beholden
to
that
Relation
,
which
indeed
may
be
term'd
a
short
Chronicle
rather
then
a
Relation
.
Wee
are
come
now
under
another
clime
,
and
here
we
may
mingle
words
,
and
vent
our
conceptions
more
securely
;
it
being
,
as
matters
stand
in
your
Countrey
,
more
safe
to
speake
under
the
Lilly
then
the
Rose
;
wee
may
here
take
in
and
put
out
freer
ayre
;
I
meane
,
we
may
discourse
with
more
liberty
:
for
,
words
are
nought
els
but
aire
articulated
,
and
coagulated
as
it
were
into
letters
and
syllables
.
Patricius
.
Sir
,
I
deserve
not
these
high
expressions
of
your
favourable
censure
touching
that
poor
piece
;
but
this
I
will
be
bold
to
say
,
That
whosoever
doth
read
it
impartially
,
will
discover
in
the
Author
the
Genius
of
an
honest
Patriot
,
and
a
Gentleman
.
And
now
methinks
I
look
on
you
unfortunate
Island
,
as
if
one
look
upon
a
Ship
toss'd
up
and
down
in
distresse
of
wind
and
weather
,
by
a
furious
tempest
,
which
the
more
she
tugs
and
wrastles
with
the
foamie
waves
of
the
angry
Ocean
,
the
more
the
fury
of
the
storme
encreaseth
,
and
puts
her
in
danger
of
shipwrack
;
and
you
must
needs
thinke
,
Sir
,
it
would
move
compassion
in
any
heart
,
to
behold
a
poore
Ship
in
such
a
desperate
case
,
specially
when
all
his
kindred
,
friends
and
fortunes
;
yea
his
Religion
,
the
most
precious
Treasure
of
all
,
are
aboard
of
her
,
and
upon
point
of
sinking
.
Alas
I
can
contribute
nothing
now
to
my
poor
countrey
but
my
prayers
and
teares
,
that
it
would
please
God
to
allay
this
tempest
,
and
cast
over
board
those
that
are
the
true
causers
of
it
,
and
bring
the
people
to
the
right
use
of
Reason
againe
.
It
was
well
observed
by
you
,
Sir
,
That
there
is
a
Nationall
kinde
of
indisposition
,
and
obliquity
of
mind
that
rageth
now
amongst
our
people
,
and
I
feare
it
will
be
long
ere
they
returne
to
their
old
English
temper
.
to
that
rare
loyalty
and
love
which
they
were
used
to
shew
to
their
Soveraigne
:
for
all
the
Principles
of
Monarchie
are
quite
lost
amongst
us
,
those
ancient
and
sacret
flowers
of
the
English
Diadem
are
trampled
under
foot
;
nay
,
matters
are
come
to
that
horrid
confusion
,
that
not
onely
the
Prerogative
of
the
crown
,
but
the
foundamentall
Priviledge
of
the
free-born
subject
is
utterly
overthrowne
,
by
those
whose
Predecessors
were
used
to
be
the
main
supporters
of
it
:
so
that
our
King
is
necessitated
to
put
himself
in
Armes
for
the
preservation
not
only
of
his
own
Regall
rights
,
but
of
Magna
Charta
it self
,
which
was
neuer
so
invaded
and
violated
in
any
age
,
by
such
causlesse
tyrannicall
imprisonments
,
by
such
unexampled
destructive
taxes
,
by
stopping
the
ordinary
processes
in
Law
,
and
awing
all
the
Courts
of
Justice
,
by
unheard-of
forced
oaths
and
Associations
,
and
a
thousand
other
acts
,
which
neither
President
,
Book-case
or
Statute
can
warrant
,
whereof
,
if
the
King
had
done
but
the
twentieth
part
,
he
had
been
cryed
up
to
be
the
greatest
Tyrant
that
ever
was
.

Sir
,
I
am
an
Alien
,
and
so
can
speak
with
more
freedom
of
your
Countrey
.
The
short
time
that
I
did
eate
my
bread
there
,
I
felt
the
pulse
of
the
people
with
as
much
judgement
as
I
could
;
and
I
find
,
that
this
very
word
Parliament
is
become
a
kind
of
Idoll
amongst
them
,
they
doe
,
as
it
were
,
pin
their
salvation
upon
't
;
it
is
held
blasphemie
to
speake
against
it
.
The
old
English
Maxime
was
,
The
King
can
do
no
wrong
;
another
Nominative
case
is
now
stept
in
,
That
the
Parliament
can
do
no
wrong
,
nor
the
King
receive
any
:
And
whereas
ther
was
used
to
be
but
one
Defender
of
the
Faith
,
ther
are
now
started
up
amongst
you
,
I
cannot
tell
how
many
hundreds
of
them
.
And
as
in
the
sacred
profession
of
Priest-hood
we
hold
,
or
at
least
wise
shold
hold
,
That
after
the
Imposition
of
hands
,
the
Minister
is
inspired
with
the
Holy
Ghost
in
an
extraordinary
manner
for
the
enabling
of
him
to
exercise
that
Divine
Function
,
so
the
English
are
grown
to
such
a
fond
conceit
of
their
Parliament
Members
,
that
as
soon
as
any
is
chosen
by
the
confus'd
cry
of
the
Common
people
to
sit
within
the
walls
of
that
House
,
an
inerring
spirit
,
a
spirit
of
infallibility
presently
entereth
into
him
(
so
that
he
is
therby
become
like
the
Pope
,
a
Canon
animatus
)
though
som
of
them
may
haply
be
such
flat
and
simple
animals
,
that
they
are
as
fit
to
be
Counsellours
,
as
Caligula's
Horse
was
to
be
Consull
,
as
the
Historian
tells
us
.
Patricius
.
Touching
Parliament
,
ther
breaths
not
a
Subject
under
Englands
Crown
,
who
hath
a
higher
esteem
of
it
then
I
,
it
makes
that
dainty
mixture
in
our
Government
of
Monarchy
,
Optimacie
and
Democracy
,
betwixt
whom
,
though
ther
be
a
kind
of
co
ordination
of
power
during
the
sitting
of
Parliament
,
yet
the
two
last
,
which
are
composed
of
Peers
and
People
,
have
no
power
,
but
what
is
derived
from
the
first
,
which
may
be
called
the
soul
that
animates
them
,
and
by
whose
authority
they
meet
,
consult
and
depart
:
They
come
there
to
propose
,
not
to
impose
Lawes
;
they
come
not
to
make
Lawes
by
the
sword
;
they
must
not
be
like
Draco's
Lawes
,
written
in
bloud
.
Their
King
calls
them
thither
to
be
his
Counsellors
,
not
Controllers
;
and
the
Office
of
Counsell
is
to
advise
,
not
to
inforce
;
they
come
thither
to
intreat
,
not
to
treat
with
their
Liege
Lord
;
they
come
to
throw
their
Petitions
at
his
feet
,
that
so
they
may
find
a
way
up
to
his
hear●…
.
'T
is
tru
,
I
have
read
of
high
things
that
our
Parliament
have
done
,
but
't
was
either
during
the
nonage
and
minority
of
our
Kings
,
when
they
were
under
protectorship
,
or
when
they
were
absent
in
a
forrain
war
,
or
in
time
of
confusion
,
when
ther
were
competitors
of
the
bloud-royall
for
the
Crown
,
and
when
the
number
of
both
Houses
was
compleat
and
individed
;
but
I
never
read
of
any
Parliament
that
did
arrogate
to
it self
such
a
power
Paramount
,
such
a
Superlative
superintendence
,
as
to
check
the
Prerogative
of
their
Soverain
,
to
question
his
negative
voice
,
to
passe
things
,
not
only
without
,
but
expresly
against
his
advice
and
royall
command
:
I
never
heard
of
Parliament
,
that
wold
have
their
King
,
being
come
to
the
Meridian
of
his
age
,
to
transmit
his
intellectualls
,
and
whole
faculty
of
reason
to
them
.
I
find
som
Parliaments
have
bin
so
modest
and
moderat
(
Now
moderation
is
the
Rudder
that
shold
steer
the
course
of
all
great
Councells
)
that
they
have
declined
the
agitation
and
cognizance
of
som
state
affaires
,
humbly
transferring
them
to
their
Soverain
and
his
privy
Counsell
:
a
Parliament
man
then
,
held
it
to
be
the
adaequat
object
of
his
duty
,
to
study
the
welfare
,
to
redresse
the
grievances
,
and
supply
the
defects
of
that
particular
place
for
which
he
served
;
The
Members
then
us'd
to
move
in
their
own
(
Inferior
)
sphere
,
and
us'd
not
to
be
transported
by
any
Eccentric
motions
.
And
so
they
thought
to
have
complyed
with
the
Obligation
,
and
discharged
the
consciences
of
honest
Patriots
,
without
soaring
above
their
reach
,
and
roving
at
random
to
treat
of
universals
,
much
lesse
to
bring
Religion
to
their
bar
,
or
prie
into
the
Arcana
Imperti
,
the
cognizance
of
the
one
belonging
to
the
King
,
and
his
intern
Counsell
of
State
:
the
other
to
Divines
,
who
,
according
to
the
Etymologie
of
the
word
,
use
to
be
still
conversant
in
the
exercise
of
speculation
of
holy
and
heavenly
things
.
Peregrin
.
I
am
clearly
of
your
opinion
in
these
two
particulars
;
for
,
secrecy
being
the
soul
of
policy
,
matters
of
State
shold
be
communicated
but
to
few
;
and
touching
Religion
,
I
cannot
see
how
it
may
quadrat
with
the
calling
,
and
be
homogeneous
to
the
profession
of
Lay-men
,
to
determine
matters
of
Divinity
;
who
,
out
of
their
incapacity
and
unaptnesse
to
the
work
,
being
not
pares
negotio
,
and
being
carryed
away
by
a
wild
kind
of
Conscience
without
Science
,
like
a
Ship
without
a
Helm
,
fall
upon
dangerous
quick-sands
;
so
that
whilest
they
labour
to
mend
her
,
they
marr
her
,
whilst
they
think
to
settle
her
,
they
confound
her
,
whilst
they
plot
to
prevent
the
growth
of
Popery
,
they
pave
the
way
to
bring
it
in
,
by
conniving
at
,
and
countenancing
those
monstrous
Schismes
which
I
observed
to
have
crept
into
your
Church
since
the
reign
of
this
Parliament
:
so
that
one
may
justly
say
,
These
your
Reformers
are
but
the
executioners
of
the
old
project
of
the
Jesuits
,
the
main
part
wherof
was
,
and
is
still
,
to
hurle
the
ball
of
discord
,
and
hatch
new
opinions
still
'twixt
the
Protestants
,
to
make
factions
and
scissures
between
them
,
and
so
render
their
religion
more
despicable
and
ridiculous
.
But
methinks
,
matters
are
come
to
a
strange
pass
with
you
in
England
,
that
the
Iudges
cannot
be
trusted
with
the
Law
,
nor
the
Prelats
with
the
Gospell
;
whereas
from
all
times
,
out
of
their
long
experience
and
years
,
these
two
degrees
of
men
were
used
to
be
reverenced
for
the
chief
Touch-men
,
and
unquestionable
Expositors
of
both
,
which
another
power
seems
now
to
arrogate
to
it self
,
as
the
inerring
Oracle
of
both
:
but
I
pray
God
that
these
grand
Refiners
of
Religion
,
prove
not
Quack-salvers
at
last
;
that
these
upstart
Polititians
prove
not
Impostors
:
for
I
have
heard
of
some
things
they
have
done
,
that
if
Machiavell
himself
were
alive
,
he
wold
be
reputed
a
Saint
in
comparison
of
them
.
The
Roman
ten
,
and
Athenian
thirty
,
were
Babies
to
these
;
nay
,
the
Spanish
Inquisition
,
and
the
Bloet-Rade
(
that
Councell
of
bloud
)
which
the
Duke
of
Alva
erected
in
Flanders
,
when
he
swore
,
That
he
wold
drown
the
Hollanders
in
their
Butter-tubs
,
was
nothing
to
this
;
when
I
consider
the
prodigious
power
they
have
assumed
to
themselves
,
and
do
daily
exercise
over
the
bodies
,
the
estates
and
souls
of
men
.
In
your
former
Discourse
you
told
me
,
that
amongst
multitudes
of
other
mischiefs
,
wh●…ch
this
new
Faction
hath
wrought
,
they
have
put
division
'twixt
all
sorts
and
sexes
,
'twixt
all
conditious
,
both
of
men
and
women
;
one
thing
more
I
may
say
,
they
have
done
in
this
kind
:
for
,
they
have
laboured
to
put
division
between
the
Persons
of
the
holy
Trinity
,
by
making
the
first
Person
to
be
offended
at
that
voluntary
genuflection
and
reverence
which
hath
bin
from
all
times
practised
in
the
Christian
Church
to
the
name
of
the
second
Person
;
so
that
Iesu
worship
,
as
I
have
read
in
some
of
your
profane
Pamphlets
,
is
grown
now
to
be
a
word
of
reproach
amongst
you
.
But
to
the
point
;
ther
is
one
thing
I
can
never
cease
to
wonder
at
:
that
whereas
at
the
beginning
of
this
Parliament
,
ther
were
as
able
and
experienced
,
as
stout
and
well
spoken
Gentlemen
,
as
any
in
the
whole
Kingdom
,
that
sate
in
the
House
,
and
made
the
far
major
part
,
I
wonder
I
say
,
that
they
wold
suffer
this
giddy-headed
Faction
to
carry
all
before
them
in
that
violent
manner
,
that
they
did
not
crush
this
Cocatrice
in
the
shell
.
Patricius
.
First
,
Sir
,
you
know
ther
is
nothing
so
agreeable
to
the
nature
of
man
,
as
novelty
;
and
in
the
conduct
of
humane
affaires
,
it
is
always
seen
,
that
when
any
new
design
or
faction
is
a
foot
,
the
Projectors
are
commonly
more
pragmaticall
and
sedulous
upon
the
work
;
they
lie
centinell
to
watch
all
advantages
,
the
Sand
of
their
brains
is
always
running
:
This
hath
caused
this
upstart
Faction
,
to
stick
still
close
together
,
and
continue
marvellously
constant
to
their
ends
;
they
have
bin
used
to
tyre
and
out-fast
,
to
weary
and
out-watch
the
moderate
and
well-minded
Gentlemen
;
sometimes
till
after
midnight
,
by
clancular
and
nocturnall
sittings
;
so
that
as
His
Majesty
saies
in
one
of
his
Declarations
,
most
of
their
Votes
may
be
said
to
be
nought
else
,
but
Verdicts
of
a
starv'd
Iury.
Another
reason
is
,
That
they
countenanced
the
flocking
together
of
the
promiscuous
rabble
from
London
,
notwithstanding
the
two
severall
motions
the
Lords
made
unto
them
,
that
they
might
be
suppressed
by
Parliamentary
Order
:
This
riotous
crue
awed
the
wonted
freedom
of
speech
in
both
Houses
,
cryed
up
the
names
,
and
confronted
many
of
their
Members
:
yet
these
new
Polititians
not
only
conniv'd
at
them
,
but
call'd
them
their
friends
;
and
so
they
might
well
enough
,
or
rather
their
Champions
;
for
they
had
ordered
the
matter
so
,
that
they
were
sure
to
have
them
ready
at
their
devotion
,
at
the
heaving
of
a
finger
:
and
from
this
tumultuous
mongrell
crue
,
they
derived
their
first
encouragements
to
do
such
high
prodigious
insolencies
they
have
committed
since
.
Adde
hereunto
,
that
they
complyed
exceedingly
besides
with
the
Common
Councell
of
the
City
,
they
used
to
attend
them
early
and
late
to
knock
heads
together
;
and
if
any
new
thing
was
to
passe
in
the
House
,
they
wold
first
wait
on
them
,
to
know
their
pleasure
,
and
afterwards
it
shold
be
propounded
and
put
to
Vote
in
the
House
:
And
how
derogatory
it
is
to
the
high
Law-making-councell
,
to
make
their
chiefest
Members
wait
from
time
to
time
on
the
Magistrates
of
the
City
,
who
in
former
times
were
used
to
attend
them
upon
all
occasions
in
Westminster
,
I
am
ashamed
to
think
on
;
nor
am
I
lesse
ashamed
to
remember
those
base
Artifices
and
indirect
courses
that
were
practis'd
at
the
election
of
this
pretended
Major
;
here
they
tack'd
about
to
a
second
choice
;
after
the
first
was
legally
made
,
and
how
the
Common-Councell
was
pack'd
up
of
the
arrandest
Schismaticks
up
and
down
the
City
.
And
to
that
mutinous
wealth-swoln
City
,
and
the
said
unbridled
pack
of
Oppidans
(
seconded
afterwards
by
the
Countrey
clownes
)
who
offered
such
outrages
to
Gods
House
,
the
Kings
house
,
and
the
Parliament
house
,
may
be
ascribed
all
miseries
,
and
the
miscarriage
of
things
:
for
they
caused
His
Majesty
to
forsake
his
own
standing
palace
,
to
absent
himself
from
his
Parliament
,
and
make
that
unpleasing
p●…ogresse
up
and
down
his
Kingdom
ever
since
,
which
put
all
Counsells
at
a
stand
,
and
to
be
involv'd
in
a
confusion
.
Peregrin
.
But
let
me
tell
you
that
your
Britannick
Sun
,
though
he
be
now
ore-set
with
these
unlucky
clouds
,
engendred
of
the
vapours
of
distempered
brains
,
and
the
rotten
hearts
of
many
of
his
own
meniall
servants
,
who
have
proved
like
the
Sons
of
Serviah
unto
him
,
ingratefull
monsters
,
yet
is
he
still
in
his
own
Orb
,
and
will
,
when
this
foul
weather
's
passed
,
and
the
aire
cleared
a
little
by
thunder
,
shine
more
gloriously
and
powerfully
then
before
,
it
being
a
maxime
of
State
,
That
Rebellion
suppressed
,
makes
a
Prince
the
stronger
;
Now
Rebellion
durst
never
yet
look
a
Prince
long
in
the
face
,
for
the
Majesty
of
Gods
anointed
,
useth
to
dart
such
fulgent
piercing
beams
,
that
dazle
the
eyes
of
disloyalty
,
and
strikes
her
stark
blind
at
last
.
And
truly
,
as
you
say
,
I
am
also
clearly
of
opinion
,
that
these
ingratefull
Londoners
,
as
they
were
the
comencers
,
so
have
they
been
the
continuers
and
contrivers
of
this
ugly
Rebellion
ever
since
;
They
seem
to
have
utterly
forgotten
who
hath
given
them
the
sword
,
and
by
,
and
from
whom
they
hold
their
Charter
;
Their
Corporations
are
now
grown
body
politicks
,
&
so
as
many
petty
Republikes
amongst
them
,
so
that
they
begin
to
smell
rank
of
a
Hans-town
.
Poor
simple
Annimals
,
how
they
suffer
their
pockets
to
be
pick'd
,
their
purses
to
be
cut
;
how
they
part
with
their
vitall
spirits
every
week
;
how
desperately
they
post
on
to
poverty
,
and
their
own
ruine
,
suffering
themselves
in
lieu
of
Scarlet-gownes
,
to
be
governed
by
a
rude
company
of
Red-coats
,
who
'twixt
plundering
,
assessements
,
and
visits
,
will
quickly
make
an
end
of
them
.
I
fear
ther
is
som
formidable
judgment
of
regall
revenge
hangs
over
that
City
;
for
the
anger
of
a
King
is
like
the
roaring
of
a
Lyon
;
and
I
never
read
yet
of
any
City
that
contested
with
her
Soverain
,
but
she
smarted
soundly
for
it
at
last
.
The
present
case
of
London
bears
a
great
deal
of
proportion
with
that
of
Monpellier
here
in
France
,
in
Charls
the
seventh's
time
;
for
when
that
town
had
refused
the
publishing
of
many
of
the
Kings
Edicts
and
Declarations
,
murthered
som
of
his
Ministers
and
Servants
,
abused
the
Church
,
and
committed
other
high
acts
of
insolency
;
the
Duke
of
Berry
was
sent
to
reduce
the
Town
to
obedience
;
the
Duke
pressed
them
with
so
hard
a
siege
,
that
at
last
the
best
Citizens
came
forth
in
procession
,
bare-headed
,
&
bare-footed
,
with
white
wands
in
their
hands
,
and
halters
about
their
necks
to
deliver
the
keys
of
all
the
gates
to
the
Duke
,
but
this
wold
not
serve
the
turn
,
for
two
hundred
of
them
were
condemned
to
the
gallies
,
two
hundred
of
them
were
hang'd
,
and
two
hundred
beheaded
,
the
King
saying
,
he
offered
those
as
victimes
for
the
lives
of
his
servants
whom
they
had
murthered
with
the
false
sword
of
Justice
.
But
,
Sir
,
I
much
marvell
how
your
Church-government
,
which
from
all
times
hath
been
cryed
up
to
be
so
exact
,
is
so
suddenly
tumbled
into
this
confusion
?
how
your
Prelates
are
fallen
under
so
darke
a
cloud
,
considering
that
divers
of
them
were
renowned
through
all
the
Reform'd
Churches
in
Christendome
for
their
rare
learning
and
pietie
?
At
the
Synod
at
Dort
,
you
know
some
of
them
assisted
,
and
no
exception
at
all
taken
at
their
degree
and
dignity
,
but
took
precedence
accordingly
,
how
came
it
to
passe
,
that
they
are
now
fallen
under
this
Eclypse
,
as
so
be
so
persecuted
,
to
be
push'd
out
of
the
House
of
Peers
,
and
hurried
into
prison
?
I
pray
you
be
pleased
to
tell
me
.
Patricius
.
Sir
,
I
remember
to
have
read
in
the
Irish
Story
,
That
when
the
Earl
of
Kildare
in
Henry
the
eighth's
time
,
was
brought
before
the
Lord
Deputy
for
burning
Cassiles
Church
,
he
answered
,
My
Lord
,
I
would
never
have
burnt
the
Church
,
unlesse
I
had
thought
the
Biship
had
been
in
it
;
for
't
was
not
the
Church
,
but
the
Bishop
I
aim'd
at
.
One
may
say
so
of
the
Anglican
Church
at
this
present
,
that
these
fiery
Zelots
,
these
vaporing
Sciolists
of
the
times
are
so
furiously
enraged
against
this
holy
Primative
order
;
some
out
of
Envie
,
some
out
of
Malice
,
some
out
of
Ignorance
,
that
one
may
say
,
our
Church
had
not
been
thus
set
on
fire
,
unlesse
the
Bishops
had
been
in
't
.
I
grant
there
was
never
yet
any
Profession
made
up
of
men
,
but
there
were
some
bad
;
we
are
not
Angels
upon
earth
there
was
a
Iudas
amongst
the
first
dozen
of
Christians
,
though
Apostles
,
and
they
by
our
Saviours
owne
election
:
Amongst
our
Prelates
peradventure
(
for
I
know
of
no
accusation
fram'd
against
them
yet
)
some
might
be
faulty
,
and
wanting
moderation
,
being
not
contented
to
walk
upon
the
battlements
of
the
Church
,
but
they
must
put
themselves
●…pon
stilts
;
but
if
a
golden
chaine
hath
happily
a
copper
link
two
or
three
,
will
you
therefore
breake
and
throw
away
the
whole
chaine
.
If
a
few
Sho●…makers
(
I
confesse
the
comparison
is
too
homely
,
but
I
had
it
of
a
Scots
man
)
sell
Calfes
skin
for
Neats
leather
,
must
the
Gentle-Craft
be
utterly
extinguish
▪
d
,
must
we
go
bare
foot
therefore
?
Let
the
persons
suffer
in
the
Name
of
God
,
and
not
the
holy
Order
of
Episcopacy
But
good
Lord
,
how
pittifully
were
those
poor
Prelats
handled
?
what
a
Tartarian
kind
of
tyranny
it
was
,
to
drag
twice
into
prison
twelve
grave
reverend
Bishops
,
causâ
adhuc
inaudita
,
and
afterwards
not
to
be
able
to
frame
as
much
as
an
accusation
of
misdemeanor
against
them
,
much
lesse
of
Treason
,
whereof
they
were
first
impeach'd
with
such
high
clamors
:
But
I
conceive
it
was
of
purpose
,
to
set
them
out
of
the
way
,
that
the
new
Faction
might
passe
things
better
amongst
the
Peers
.
And
it
seemes
they
brought
their
work
about
;
for
whilest
they
were
thus
reclused
and
absent
,
they
may
be
sayed
to
be
thrust
out
of
doores
,
and
ejected
out
of
their
owne
proper
ancient
inheritance
,
And
the
Tower
wherein
they
were
cast
might
be
called
Limbo
patrum
all
the
while
.
Peregrin
.
But
would
not
all
this
,
with
those
unparallell'd
Bills
of
Grace
you
mentioned
in
your
first
Discourse
,
which
had
formerly
passed
,
suffice
to
beget
a
good
understanding
,
and
make
them
confide
in
their
King
?
Patricius
.
No
,
but
the
passing
of
these
Bills
of
grace
,
were
term'd
Acts
of
Duty
in
his
Majesty
;
they
went
so
far
in
their
demands
that
't
was
not
sufficient
for
him
to
give
up
his
Tower
,
〈◊〉
Fleet-Royall
,
his
Magazines
,
his
Ports
,
Castl●…
and
Servants
,
but
he
must
deliver
up
his
swor●…
into
their
hands
,
all
the
Souldiery
&
Military
forces
of
the
Land
;
nay
,
he
must
give
up
his
very
Understanding
unto
them
;
he
must
resigne
his
own
Reason
,
and
with
an
implicit
Faith
or
blind
Obedience
,
he
must
believe
all
they
did
was
to
make
him
glorious
;
and
if
at
any
time
he
admonished
them
,
o●…
prescribed
wayes
for
them
to
proceed
and
expedit
matters
,
or
if
he
advised
them
in
any
thing
,
they
took
it
in
a
kind
of
indignation
,
and
't
was
presently
cryed
up
to
be
Breach
of
Priviledge
.
Peregrin
.
Breach
of
Priviledge
forsooth
,
There
is
no
way
in
my
conceit
,
to
make
a
King
more
inglorious
,
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
then
to
disarme
him
;
and
to
take
from
him
the
command
and
disposing
of
the
Militia
throughout
his
Kingdome
,
is
directly
to
disarm
him
,
&
wrest
the
Sword
out
of
his
hand
:
and
how
then
can
he
be
termed
A
Defendor
?
how
can
he
defend
either
himself
,
or
others
?
't
is
the
onely
way
to
expose
him
to
scorn
and
derision
;
truly
,
as
I
conceive
,
that
demand
of
the
Militia
was
a
thing
not
only
unfit
for
them
to
ask
,
but
for
him
to
grant
.
But
,
Sir
,
what
shold
be
the
reson
which
mov'd
them
to
make
that
insolent
proposall
?
Patricius
.
They
cry'd
out
that
the
Kingdom
was
upon
point
of
being
ruin'd
;
that
it
was
in
the
very
jawes
of
destruction
;
that
there
were
forreign
and
in-land
plots
against
it
:
all
which
are
prov'd
long
since
to
be
nothing
else
but
meere
Chymera's
;
yet
people
for
the
most
part
continue
still
so
grossely
besotted
,
that
they
cannot
perceive
to
this
day
,
that
these
forg'd
feares
,
these
Utopian
plots
,
those
publick
Idea's
were
fram'd
of
purpose
,
that
they
might
take
all
the
martiall
power
into
their
hands
;
that
so
they
might
without
controulment
cast
the
government
of
Church
and
state
into
what
mold
they
pleased
,
and
ingrosse
the
chiefest
offices
to
themselves
:
And
from
these
imaginary
invisible
dangers
proceeded
these
visible
calamities
,
and
grinding
palpable
pressures
which
hath
accompanied
this
odious
Warre
ever
since
.
Peregrin
.
Herein
methinks
,
your
statists
have
shewne
themselves
politique
enough
,
but
not
so
prudent
&
honest
;
for
Prudence
&
Policy
,
though
they
often
agree
in
the
end
,
yet
they
differ
in
election
of
the
meanes
to
compasse
their
ends
:
The
one
serves
himself
of
truth
,
strength
of
Reason
,
integrity
,
and
gallantnesse
in
their
proceedings
;
the
other
of
fictions
,
fraudulence
,
lies
,
and
other
sinister
meanes
;
the
work
of
the
one
is
lasting
and
permanent
,
the
others
worke
moulders
away
,
and
ends
in
infamy
at
last
;
for
fraud
and
frost
alwaies
end
foule
.
But
how
did
they
requite
that
most
rare
and
high
unexampled
trust
his
Majesty
reposed
in
them
,
when
he
before
passed
that
fatall
Act
of
continuance
,
a
greater
trust
then
ever
English
King
put
in
Parliament
?
How
did
they
performe
their
solemn
promise
and
deepe
Protestations
,
to
make
him
the
most
glorious
(
at
home
and
abroad
)
the
richest
and
best
belovedst
King
that
ever
raigned
in
that
Island
.
Patricius
.
Herein
I
must
confesse
,
they
held
very
ill
correspondence
with
him
,
for
the
more
he
trusted
them
,
the
more
diffident
they
grew
of
him
;
and
truly
,
Sir
,
herein
white
differs
not
so
much
from
black
,
as
their
actions
have
been
disconsonant
to
their
words
:
Touching
the
first
promise

to
make
him
glorious
;
if
to
suffer
a
neighbouring
Nation

Prince
(
the
French
King

by
the
renvoy
of

riffraffe
of
the

to
domineere
before

notwithstanding

putting
him

and
officers
,
and
bring
him
back
to
a
kind
of
minority
;
if
this
be
to
make
a
King
glorious
,
our
King
is
made
glorious
enough
.
Touching
the
second
promise
to
make
him
the
richest
King
that
ever
was
;
if
to
denude
him
of
his
native
rights
,
to
declare
that
he
hath
no
property
in
any
thing
but
by
way
of
trust
,
not
so
much
property
as
an
Elective
King
;
if
to
take
away
his
customs
of
inheritance
;
if
to
take
from
him
his
Exchequer
and
Mint
,
if
to
thrust
him
out
of
his
own
Towns
,
to
suffer
a
lowsie
Citizen
to
lie
in
his
beds
within
his
Royall
Castle
of
Windsor
,
when
he
himself
would
have
come
thither
to
lodg
;
if
to
enforce
him
to
a
defensive
war
,
and
cause
him
to
engage
his
Jewells
and
Plate
,
and
so
plunge
him
in
a
bottomlesse
gulph
of
debt
for
his
necessary
defence
;
if
to
anticipate
his
revenue
royall
,
and
reduce
him
to
such
exigents
that
he
hath
scarce
the
subsistence
of
an
ordinary
Gentleman
;
if
this
be
to
make
a
rich
King
,
then
is
our
King
made
sufficiently
rich
.
Concerning
their
third
promise
,
to
make
him
the
best
belovedst
King
that
ever
was
;
if
to
cast
all
the
aspersions
that
possibly
could
be
devised
upon
his
Government
by
publique
elaborat
remonstrances
;
if
to
suffer
and
give
Texts
to
the
strongest
lung'd
Pulpiteers
to
poyson
the
hearts
of
his
subjects
,
to
intoxicat
their
brains
with
fumes
of
forg'd
jealousies
,
to
possesse
them
with
an
opinion
,
that
he
is
a
Papist
in
his
heart
,
and
consequently
hath
a
design
to
introduce
Popery
;
if
to
sleight
his
words
,
his
promises
,
his
Asseverations
,
Oaths
and
Protestations
,
when
he
calls
heaven
and
earth
to
witnesse
,
when
he
desires
no
blessing
otherwise
to
fall
upon
himself
,
his
wife
and
children
,
with
other
pathetick
deep-fetcht
expressions
,
that
wold
have
made
the
meanest
of
those
millions
of
Christians
which
are
his
vassals
,
to
be
believed
;
if
to
protect
Delinquents
,
and
proclaim'd
Traytors
against
him
;
if
to
suscitate
,
authorise
,
and
encourage
all
sorts
of
subjects
to
heave
up
their
hands
against
him
,
and
levy
armes
to
emancepate
themselves
from
that
naturall
allegiance
,
loyalty
,
and
subjection
,
wherein
,
they
and
their
fore-fathers
were
ever
tyed
to
his
Royall
Progenitors
;
if
to
make
them
swear
and
damn
themselves
into
a
rebellion
;
if
this
be
to
make
a
King
beloved
,
then
this
Parliament
hath
made
King
Charles
the
best
beloved
King
that
ever
was
in
England
.
Peregrin
.
I
cannot
compare
this
Rebellion
in
England
,
more
properly
then
to
that
in
this
Kingdom
,
in
King
Iohn's
time
,
which
in
our
French
Chronicle
beares
to
this
day
the
infamous
name
of
Iaquerie
de
Beauvoisin
;
The
Peasans
then
out
of
a
surfeit
of
plenty
,
had
grown
up
to
that
height
of
insolency
,
that
they
confronted
the
Noblesse
and
Gentry
▪
they
gathered
in
multitudes
,
and
put
themselves
in
armes
to
suppresse
,
or
rather
extinguish
them
;
and
this
popular
tumult
never
ceased
,
till
Charles
le
Sage
debell'd
it
;
and
it
made
the
Kings
of
France
more
puissant
ever
since
,
for
it
much
increased
their
Finances
,
in
regard
that
those
extraordinary
taxes
which
the
people
imposed
upon
themselves
for
the
support
of
the
war
,
hath
continued
ever
since
a
firm
revenue
to
the
Crown
;
which
makes
me
think
of
a
facecious
speech
of
the
late
Henry
the
Great
,
to
them
of
Orleans
:
for
wheras
a
new
imposition
was
laid
upon
the
Townsmen
during
the
league
by
Monsieur
de
la
Chastre
,
who
was
a
great
stickler
in
those
wars
;
they
petitioned
Henry
the
fourth
,
that
he
wold
be
pleased
to
take
off
that
taxe
,
the
King
asked
them
,
Who
had
laid
that
taxe
upon
them
?
they
said
Monsieur
de
la
Chastre
,
during
the
time
of
the
League
,
the
King
replyed
,
Puis
que
Monsieur
de
la
Chatre
vous
à
liguè
qu'il
vous
destigue
,
since
Monsieur
de
la
Chastre
hath
leagu'd
you
,
let
Monsieur
de
la
Chastre
unleague
you
,
and
so
the
said
taxe
continueth
to
this
day
.
I
have
observed
in
your
Chronicles
that
it
hath
bin
the
fate
of
your
English
Kings
to
be
baffled
often
by
petty
companions
;
as
Iack
Straw
,
Wat
Tyler
,
Cade
,
Warbecke
and
Symnel
.
A
Waspe
may
somtimes
do
a
shrewd
turn
to
the
Eagle
,
as
you
said
before
;
your
Island
hath
bin
fruitfull
for
Rebellions
,
for
I
think
ther
hapned
near
upon
a
hundred
since
the
last
Conquest
,
the
City
of
London
,
as
I
remember
,
in
your
Story
hath
rebelled
seven
times
at
least
,
and
forfeited
her
Charter
I
know
not
how
often
,
but
she
bled
soundly
for
it
at
last
,
and
commonly
,
the
better
your
Princes
were
,
the
worse
your
people
have
been
;
As
the
case
stands
,
I
see
no
way
for
the
King
to
establish
a
setled
peace
,
but
by
making
a
fifth
Conquest
of
you
;
and
for
London
,
ther
must
be
a
way
found
to
prick
that
tympany
of
pride
wherwith
she
swells
so
much
.
Patricius
.
'T
is
true
,
ther
has
bin
from
time
to
time
many
odd
Insurrections
in
England
,
but
our
King
gathered
a
greater
strength
out
of
them
afterwards
,
the
inconstant
people
are
alwayes
accessary
to
their
own
miseries
:
Kings
Prerogatives
are
like
the
Ocean
,
which
as
the
Civilians
tell
us
,
if
he
lose
in
one
pla●…e
,
he
gets
ground
in
another
.
Cares
and
Crosses
ride
behind
Kings
,
Clowds
hang
over
them
.
They
may
be
eclypsed
a
while
,
but
they
will
shine
afterwards
with
a
stronger
lustre
.
Our
gracious
Soverain
hath
passed
a
kind
of
Ordeal
,
a
fiery
triall
;
he
while
now
hath
bin
matriculated
and
serv'd
part
of
an
Apprentiship
in
the
School
of
Affliction
;
I
hope
God
will
please
shortly
to
cancell
the
Indenture
,
and
restore
him
to
a
sweeter
liberty
then
ever
.

LONDON

To
the
Right
Honourable
,
PHILIP
Earl
of
Pembrock
,
and
Montgomery
,
Knight
of
the
Bath
;
Knight
of
the
most
noble
Order
of
the
Garter
;
Gentleman
of
His
Majesties
Bed-chamber
,
And
one
of
His
most
Honorable
privy
Counsell
,
&c.
My
Lord
,
THis
Letter
requires
no
Apology
,
much
lesse
any
pardon
,
but
may
expect
rather
a
good
reception
and
thanks
,
when
your
Lordship
hath
seriously
perused
the
contents
,
and
ruminated
well
upon
the
matter
it
treats
of
by
weighing
it
in
your
second
and
third
thoughts
which
usually
carry
with
them
a
greater
advantage
of
wisdom
:
It
concerns
not
your
body
,
or
temporall
estate
,
but
things
reflecting
upon
the
noblest
part
of
you
,
your
soul
,
which
being
a
beam
of
Immortality
,
and
a
Type
of
the
Almighty
,
is
incomparably
more
precious
,
and
rendereth
all
other
earthly
things
to
be
but
bables
and
transitory
trifles
.
Now
,
the
strongest
tye
,
the
solemnest
engagement
and
stipulation
that
can
be
betwixt
the
soul
and
her
Creator
,
is
an
Oath
.
I
do
not
understand
common
tumultuary
rash
oaths
,
proceeding
from
an
ill
habit
,
or
heat
of
passion
upon
sudden
contingencies
,
for
such
oaths
bind
one
to
nought
else
but
to
repentance
:
No
,
I
mean
serious
and
legall
oaths
,
taken
with
a
calm
prepared
spirit
,
either
for
the
asserting
of
truth
,
and
conviction
of
falshood
,
or
for
fidelitie
in
the
execution
of
some
Office
or
binding
to
civill
obedience
and
Loyaltie
,
which
is
one
of
the
essentiall
parts
of
a
Christian
;
Such
publick
oaths
legally
made
with
the
Royall
assent
of
the
Soveraigne
from
whom
they
receive
both
legalitie
and
life
(
else
they
are
invalid
and
unwarrantable
)
as
they
are
religious
acts
in
their
own
nature
,
so
is
the
taking
and
observance
of
them
part
of
Gods
honor
,
and
there
can
be
nothing
more
derogatory
to
the
high
Majesty
and
holinesse
of
his
name
,
nothing
more
dangerous
,
destructive
and
damnable
to
humane
souls
then
the
infringment
and
eluding
of
them
,
or
omission
in
the
performance
of
them
.
Which
makes
the
Turks
,
of
whom
Christians
in
this
particular
may
learn
a
tender
peece
of
humanity
,
to
be
so
cautious
,
that
they
seldom
or
never
administer
an
oath
to
Greek
,
Jew
,
or
any
other
Nation
,
and
the
reason
is
,
that
if
the
Party
sworn
doth
take
that
Oath
upon
hopes
of
some
advantage
,
or
for
evading
of
danger
and
punishment
,
and
afterwards
rescinds
it
,
they
think
themselves
to
be
involved
in
the
Perjury
,
and
so
accessary
to
his
damnation
:
Our
Civill
Law
hath
a
Canon
consonant
to
this
,
which
is
,
Mortale
peccatum
est
ei
praestare
juramentum
,
quem
scio
verisimiliter
violaturum
;
'T
is
a
mortall
sin
to
administer
an
Oath
to
him
who
I
probably
know
will
break
it
;
To
this
may
allude
another
wholesome
saying
,
A
false
Oath
is
damnable
,
a
true
Oath
dangerous
,
none
at
all
the
safest
.
How
much
then
have
they
to
answer
for
,
who
of
late
yeares
have
fram'd
such
formidable
coercive
generall
Oaths
to
serve
them
for
engins
of
State
to
lay
battery
to
the
Consciences
and
Soules
of
poor
men
,
and
those
without
the
assent
of
their
Soveraign
,
and
opposit
point
blank
to
former
Oaths
they
themselves
had
taken
:
these
kind
of
Oaths
the
City
of
London
hath
swallowed
lately
in
grosse
,
and
the
Country
in
detaile
,
which
makes
me
confidently
beleeve
that
if
ever
that
saying
of
the
holy
Prophet
,
The
Land
mournes
for
Oaths
,
was
appliable
to
any
part
of
the
habitable
earth
,
it
may
be
now
applied
to
this
reprobate
Iland
.
But
now
I
come
to
the
maine
of
my
purpose
,
and
to
those
Oaths
your
Lordship
hath
taken
before
this
distracted
time
,
which
the
world
knowes
,
and
your
conscience
can
testifie
,
were
divers
;
They
were
all
of
them
solemn
,
and
some
of
them
Sacramentall
Oaths
(
and
indeed
,
every
Solemn
Oath
among
the
Antients
was
held
a
Sacrament
:
)
They
all
implyed
,
and
imposed
an
indispensible
fidelity
,
Truth
and
loyalty
from
you
to
your
Soveraign
Prince
,
your
Liege
Lord
and
Master
the
King
:
I
will
make
some
instances
:
Your
Lordship
took
an
Oath
when
Knight
of
the
Bath
to
love
your
Soveraign
above
all
earthly
Creatures
,
and
for
His
Right
and
dignity
to
live
and
die
&c.
By
the
Oath
of
Supremacy
you
swear
to
beare
faith
and
true
allegeance
to
the
Kings
Highnesse
,
and
to
your
power
to
defend
all
●…urisdictions
,
Priviledges
,
Preheminences
and
Authorities
belonging
to
his
Highnesse
&c.
Your
Lordship
took
an
Oath
when
Privie
Counsellor
,
to
be
a
true
and
faithfull
Servant
unto
Him
,
and
if
you
knew
or
understood
of
any
manner
of
thing
to
be
attempted
,
done
,
or
spoken
against
His
Majesties
Person
,
Honour
,
Crown
,
or
Dignity
,
you
swore
to
let
,
and
withstand
the
same
to
the
uttermost
of
your
power
,
and
either
cause
it
to
be
revealed
to
himself
,
or
to
others
of
His
Privy
Counsell
;
The
Oaths
you
took
when
Bedchamber
man
,
and
L.
Chamberlain
bind
you
as
strictly
to
His
Person
.
Your
Lordship
may
also
call
to
memorie
when
you
were
installed
Knight
of
the
Garter
,
(
whereof
you
are
now
the
oldest
living
except
K
▪
of
Denmark
)
you
solemnly
swore
to
defend
the
Honour
and
Quarrels
,
the
Rights
and
Lordship
of
your
▪
Soveraigne
:
Now
the
Record
tells
us
that
the
chiefest
ground
of
instituting
the
said
order
by
that
heroick
Prince
Edward
the
Third
was
,
that
he
might
have
choice
gallant
men
,
who
by
Oath
and
Honour
should
adhere
unto
him
in
all
dangers
,
and
difficulties
,
and
that
by
way
of
reciprocation
Hee
should
protect
and
defend
them
,
Which
made
Alfonso
Duke
of
Calabria
so
much
importune
Henry
the
Eight
to
install
him
one
of
the
Knights
of
the
Garter
,
that
he
might
engage
King
Harry
to
protect
him
against
Charles
the
Eighth
,
who
threatned
then
the
conquest
of
Naples
.
How
your
Lordship
hath
acquitted
your self
of
the
performance
of
these
Oaths
,
your
conscience
(
that
bosome
record
)
can
make
the
best
affidavit
;
Some
of
them
oblige
you
●…o
live
and
dye
with
King
Charles
,
but
what
Oaths
or
any
thing
like
an
Oath
binds
you
to
live
and
die
with
the
House
of
Commons
,
as
your
Lordship
often
gives
out
you
will
,
I
am
yet
to
learne
:
Unlesse
that
House
which
hath
not
power
as
much
as
to
administer
an
Oath
(
much
lesse
to
make
one
)
can
absolve
you
from
your
former
Oaths
,
or
haply
by
their
omnipotence
dispence
with
you
for
the
observance
of
them
.
Touching
the
Politicall
capacitie
of
the
King
,
I
feare
that
will
be
a
weak
plea
for
your
Lordship
before
the
Tribunall
of
heaven
,
and
they
who
▪
whisper
such
Chimeras
into
your
ears
,
abuse
you
in
grosse
;
but
put
case
there
were
such
a
thing
as
politicall
capacitie
distinct
from
the
personal
,
which
to
a
true
rationall
man
is
one
of
the
grossest
Buls
that
can
be
,
yet
these
forementioned
Oaths
relate
most
of
them
meerly
unto
the
Kings
Person
,
the
individuall
Person
of
King
Charles
,
as
you
are
His
Domestick
Counsellor
,
and
cubicular
Servant
.
My
Lord
,
I
take
leave
to
tell
your
Lordship
(
and
the
Spectator
sees
sometimes
more
then
the
Gamester
)
that
the
world
extreamely
marvels
at
you
more
then
others
,
and
it
makes
those
who
wish
you
best
to
be
transformed
to
wonder
,
that
your
Lordship
shold
be
the
first
of
your
Race
who
deserted
the
Crown
,
which
one
of
your
Progenitors
said
,
he
would
still
follow
though
it
were
thrown
upon
an
hedg
:
Had
your
Princely
Brother
(
William
Earl
of
Pembrock
)
bin
living
he
wold
have
bin
sooner
torn
by
wild
horses
than
have
banded
against
it
,
or
abandoned
the
King
his
Master
,
and
fallen
to
such
grosse
Idolatry
as
to
worship
the
Beast
with
many
heads
.
The
world
also
stands
astonished
that
you
shold
confederate
to
bring
into
the
bowels
of
the
Land
,
and
make
Elogiums
in
some
of
your
Speeches
of
that
hungry
people
which
have
bin
from
all
times
so
crosse
and
fatall
to
the
English
Nation
,
and
particularly
to
your
own
honour
:
Many
thousands
do
wonder
that
your
Lordship
shold
be
brought
to
persecute
with
so
much
animosity
and
hatred
that
reverend
Order
in
Gods
Church
(
Episcopacy
)
which
is
contemporary
with
Christianity
it self
,
and
wherunto
you
had
once
designed
,
and
devoted
one
of
your
dearest
Sons
so
solemnly
.
My
Lord
,
if
this
Monster
of
Reformation
(
which
is
like
an
infernall
Spirit
clad
in
white
,
and
hath
a
cloven
head
as
well
as
feet
)
prevailes
,
you
shall
find
the
same
destiny
will
attend
poor
England
,
as
did
Bohemia
which
was
one
of
the
flourishingst
Kingdoms
upon
that
part
of
the
earth
,
which
happen'd
thus
:
The
Common
people
ther
repind
at
the
Hierarchy
and
riches
of
the
Church
,
therupon
a
Parliament
was
pack'd
where
Bishops
were
abolished
,
what
followed
?
The
Nobles
and
Gentry
went
down
next
,
and
afterwards
the
Crown
it self
,
and
so
it
became
a
popular
confus'd
Anarchicall
State
,
and
a
Stage
of
bloud
a
long
time
,
so
that
at
last
,
when
this
Magot
had
done
working
in
the
brains
of
the
foolish
peeple
,
they
were
glad
to
have
recourse
to
Monarchy
again
after
a
world
of
calamities
;
though
it
degenerated
from
a
successive
Kingdom
to
an
Elective
.
Methinks
,
my
Lord
,
under
favour
that
those
notorious
visible
judgements
which
have
fallen
upon
these
Refiners
of
reform'd
Religion
shold
unbeguile
your
Lordship
,
and
open
your
eyes
:
For
the
hand
of
heaven
never
appeared
so
clearly
in
any
humane
actions
:
Your
Lordship
may
well
remember
what
became
of
the
Hothams
,
and
Sir
Alexander
Cary
,
who
were
the
two
fatall
wretches
that
began
the
War
first
,
one
in
the
North
,
the
other
in
the
South
,
Plymouth
and
Hull
.
Your
Lordship
may
be
also
pleased
to
remember
what
became
of
Brooks
the
Lord
,
and
Hampden
,
the
first
whereof
was
dispatched
by
a
deaf
and
dumb
man
out
of
an
ancient
Church
(
at
Litchfield
)
which
he
was
battering
,
and
that
suddenly
also
,
for
he
fell
down
stone
dead
in
the
twinkling
of
an
eye
;
Now
,
one
of
the
greatest
cavils
he
had
against
our
Liturgy
was
a
clause
of
a
Prayer
ther
against
sudden
death
;
Besides
,
the
fag
end
of
his
Grace
in
that
journey
was
,
that
if
the
design
was
not
pleasing
to
God
,
he
might
perish
in
the
action
:
For
the
other
(
Hampden
)
he
besprinkled
with
his
bloud
,
and
received
his
death
upon
the
same
clod
of
earth
in
Buckingham-shire
where
he
had
first
assembled
the
poor
Country
people
like
so
many
Geese
to
drive
them
gaggling
in
a
mutiny
to
London
with
the
Protestation
in
their
Caps
,
which
hath
bin
since
torn
in
flitters
,
and
is
now
grown
obsolet
and
quite
out
of
use
.
Touching
Pym
and
Stroud
,
those
two
worthy
Champions
of
the
Utopian
cause
,
the
first
being
opened
,
his
stomack
and
guts
were
found
to
be
full
of
pellets
of
bloud
,
the
other
had
little
or
no
brain
in
his
skull
being
dead
,
and
lesse
when
he
was
living
:
Touching
those
who
carryed
the
first
scandalous
Remonstrance
(
that
work
of
night
and
the
verdict
of
a
starv'd
jury
)
to
welcome
the
King
from
Scotland
,
they
have
bin
since
(
your
Lordship
knows
well
)
the
chief
of
the
Eleven
Members
impeached
by
the
House
.
And
now
they
are
a
kind
of
Runnagates
beyond
the
Seas
,
scorn'd
by
all
mankind
,
and
baffled
every
where
,
yea
,
even
by
the
Boors
of
Holland
,
and
not
daring
to
peep
in
any
populous
Town
but
by
owle-light
.
Moreover
,
I
believe
your
Lordship
hath
good
cause
to
remember
that
the
same
kind
of
riotous
Rascals
,
which
rabbled
the
K.
out
of
Town
,
did
drive
away
the
Speaker
in
like
manner
with
many
of
their
Memberships
(
amongst
whom
your
Lordship
was
fairly
on
his
way
,
)
to
seek
shelter
of
their
Janizaries
the
Redcoats
:
Your
Lordship
must
needs
find
what
deadly
fewds
fal
daily
'
twix●…
the
Presbyterian
and
the
Independent
,
the
two
fiery
brands
that
have
put
this
poor
Isle
so
long
in
combustion
.
But
't
is
worthy
your
Lordships
speciall
notice
how
your
dear
Brethren
the
Scots
(
whom
your
Lordship
so
highly
magnified
in
some
of
your
publick
Speeches
)
who
were
at
first
brought
in
for
Hirelings
against
the
King
for
them
,
offer
themselves
now
to
come
in
against
them
for
the
King
:
Your
Lordship
cannot
be
ignorant
of
the
sundry
clashes
that
have
bin
'twixt
the
City
and
their
Memberships
,
and
'twixt
their
Memberships
and
their
men
of
War
or
Military
Officers
,
who
have
often
wav'd
and
disobeyed
their
commands
:
How
this
tatterdimallian
Army
hath
reduc'd
this
cow'd
City
,
the
cheated
Country
,
and
their
once
all-commanding
Masters
,
to
a
perfect
passe
of
slavery
,
to
a
tru
Asinin
condition
;
They
crow
over
all
the
ancient
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
the
Kindom
,
though
ther
be
not
found
amongst
them
all
but
two
Knights
;
and
't
is
well
known
ther
be
hundreds
of
privat
Gentlemen
in
the
Kingdom
,
the
poorest
of
whom
,
is
able
to
buy
this
whole
Host
with
the
Generall
himself
and
all
the
Commanders
:
But
't
is
not
the
first
time
,
that
the
Kings
and
Nobility
of
England
have
bin
baffled
by
petty
companions
:
I
have
read
of
Iack
Straw
,
Wat
Tyler
,
and
Ket
the
Tanner
,
with
divers
others
that
did
so
,
but
being
suppressed
it
tended
to
the
advantage
of
the
King
at
last
;
and
what
a
world
of
examples
are
ther
in
our
story
,
that
those
Noblemen
who
banded
against
the
Crown
,
the
revenge
of
heaven
ever
found
them
out
early
or
late
at
last
.
These
,
with
a
black
cloud
of
reciprocall
judgments
more
,
which
have
come
home
to
these
Reformers
very
doors
,
shew
that
the
hand
of
divine
justice
is
in
't
,
and
the
holy
Prophet
tells
us
,
When
Gods
judgments
are
upon
earth
,
then
the
inhabitants
shall
learn
justice
.
Touching
your
Lordship
in
particular
,
you
have
not
,
under
favour
,
escap'd
without
some
already
,
and
I
wish
more
may
not
follow
;
your
Lordship
may
remember
you
lost
one
Son
at
Bridgenorth
,
your
dear
Daughter
at
Oxford
,
your
Son-in-Law
at
Newbury
,
your
Daughter-in-Law
at
the
Charter-house
of
an
infamous
disease
,
how
sick
your
Eldest
son
hath
bin
;
how
part
of
your
house
was
burnt
in
the
Country
,
with
others
which
I
will
not
now
mention
.
I
will
conclude
this
point
with
an
observation
of
the
most
monstrous
number
of
Witches
that
have
swarm'd
since
these
Wars
against
the
King
,
more
(
I
dare
say
)
then
have
bin
in
this
Island
since
the
Devil
tempted
Eve
;
for
in
two
Counties
only
,
viz.
Suffolk
and
Essex
,
ther
have
bin
near
upon
three
hundred
arraign'd
,
and
eightscore
executed
(
as
I
have
it
from
the
Clerks
of
the
Peace
of
those
Counties
;
)
what
a
barbarous
devilish
office
one
had
,
under
colour
of
examination
,
to
torment
poor
silly
women
with
watchings
,
pinchings
and
other
artifices
to
find
them
for
Witches
:
How
others
call'd
spirits
by
a
new
invention
of
villany
were
conniv'd
at
for
seizing
upon
young
children
,
and
〈◊〉
them
on
shipboard
,
where
having
their
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
they
were
so
transform'd
that
their
〈◊〉
could
not
know
them
,
and
so
were
carryed
over
for
new
schismaticall
Plantations
to
New-England
and
other
Seminaries
of
Rebellion
.
My
Lord
,
ther
is
no
villany
that
can
enter
into
the
imagination
of
man
hath
bin
left
here
uncommitted
;
no
crime
from
the
highest
Treason
to
the
meanest
Trespasse
,
but
these
Reformers
are
guilty
of
.
What
horrid
acts
of
prophanes
have
bin
perpetrated
up
and
down
!
the
Monuments
of
the
dead
have
bin
rifled
!
Horses
have
bin
watered
at
the
Church
Font
,
and
fed
upon
the
holy
Table
!
Widows
,
Orphans
,
and
Hospitals
have
bin
commonly
robb'd
,
and
Gods
House
hath
bin
plunder'd
more
then
any
!
with
what
infandous
blasphemies
have
Pulpits
rung
!
one
crying
out
,
that
this
Parliament
was
as
necessary
for
our
Reformation
,
as
the
comming
of
Christ
was
for
our
Redemp●…ion
:
Another
belching
out
,
that
if
God
Almighty
did
not
prosper
this
Cause
,
't
were
fitting
he
shold
change
places
with
the
Devil
:
Another
,
that
the
worst
thing
our
Savoour
did
,
was
the
making
of
the
Dominical
prayer
,
and
saving
the
Thief
upon
the
Crosse.
O
immortal
God
,
is
it
possible
that
England
shold
produce
such
Monsters
,
or
rather
such
infernal
fiends
shap'd
with
humane
bodies
!
yet
your
Lordship
sides
with
these
men
,
though
they
be
enemies
to
the
Cross
,
to
the
Church
,
and
to
the
very
name
of
Iesus
Christ
;
I
'le
instance
only
in
two
who
were
esteem'd
the
Oracles
of
this
holy
Reformation
,
Petrs
,
and
Saltmarsh
;
The
first
is
known
by
thousands
to
be
an
infamous
,
jugling
and
scandalous
villaine
,
among
other
feats
,
he
got
the
Mother
and
Daughter
with
Child
,
as
it
was
offered
to
be
publickly
proved
;
I
could
speak
much
of
the
other
,
but
being
dead
,
let
it
suffice
that
he
dyed
mad
and
desperate
,
yet
these
were
accounted
the
two
Apostles
of
the
times
.
My
Lord
,
't
is
high
time
for
you
to
recollect
your self
,
to
enter
into
the
private
closet
of
your
thoughts
,
and
summon
them
all
to
counsel
upon
your
pillow
;
consider
well
the
slavish
condition
your
dear
Country
is
in
,
weigh
well
the
sad
case
your
liege
Lord
and
Master
is
in
,
how
he
is
bereav'd
of
his
Queen
,
His
Children
,
His
Servants
,
His
Liberty
,
His
Chaplains
,
and
of
every
thing
in
which
there
is
any
comfort
;
observe
well
,
how
neverthelesse
,
God
Almighty
works
in
Him
by
inspiring
Him
with
equality
and
calmnesse
of
mind
,
with
patience
,
prudence
and
constancy
,
How
Hee
makes
His
very
Crosses
to
stoop
unto
Him
,
when
His
Subjects
will
not
:
Consider
the
monstrousnesse
of
the
Propositions
that
are
tendred
him
,
wherein
no
lesse
then
Crown
,
Scepter
,
and
Sword
,
which
are
things
in-alienable
from
Majesty
,
are
in
effect
demanded
,
nay
,
they
would
have
him
transmit
,
and
resign
his
very
intellectuals
unto
them
,
not
only
so
,
but
they
would
have
him
make
a
sacrifice
of
his
soul
,
by
forcing
him
to
violate
that
solemne
sacramentall
Oath
hee
took
at
his
Coronation
when
hee
was
no
Minor
,
but
come
to
a
full
maturity
of
reason
and
judgement
:
make
it
your
own
case
,
My
Lord
,
and
that
's
the
best
way
to
judge
of
His
:
Think
upon
the
multiplicity
of
solemne
astringing
Oathes
your
Lordship
hath
taken
,
most
whereof
directly
and
solely
enjoyne
faith
and
loyalty
to
his
Person
;
oh
my
Lord
!
wrong
not
your
soule
so
much
,
in
comparison
of
whom
your
body
is
but
a
rag
of
rottennesse
.
Consider
that
acts
of
loyalty
to
the
Crown
are
the
fairest
columns
to
bear
up
a
Noblemans
name
to
future
ages
,
and
register
it
in
the
temple
of
immortality
.
Reconcile
your self
therefore
speedily
unto
your
liege
Lord
and
Master
,
think
upon
the
infinit
private
obligations
you
have
had
both
to
Sire
and
Son
:
The
Father
kiss'd
you
often
,
kisse
you
now
the
Sun
lest
he
be
too
angry
;
And
Kings
,
you
will
find
,
my
Lord
,
are
like
the
Sun
in
the
heavens
,
which
may
be
clouded
for
a
time
,
yet
he
is
still
in
his
sphear
,
and
will
break
out
againe
and
shine
as
gloriously
as
ever
;
Let
me
tell
your
Lordship
that
the
people
begin
to
grow
extream
weary
of
their
Physitians
,
they
find
the
remedy
to
be
far
worse
then
their
former
disease
;
nay
they
stick
not
to
call
some
of
them
meer
Quacksalvers
rather
then
Physitians
;
Some
goe
further
,
&
say
they
are
no
more
a
Parliament
then
a
Pye-powder
Court
at
Bartholmew-Fair
,
ther
being
all
the
essentiall
parts
of
a
true
Parliament
wanting
in
this
,
as
fairnesse
of
elections
,
freedome
of
speech
,
fulnesse
of
Members
,
nor
have
they
any
head
at
all
;
besides
,
they
have
broken
all
the
fundamental
rules
,
and
Priviledges
of
Parliament
,
and
dishonoured
that
high
Court
more
then
any
thing
else
:
They
have
ravish'd
Magna
Charta
which
they
are
sworn
to
maintain
,
taken
away
our
birth-right
therby
,
and
transgressed
all
the
laws
of
heaven
and
earth
:
Lastly
,
they
have
most
perjuriously
betrayed
the
trust
the
King
reposed
in
them
,
and
no
lesse
the
trust
their
Country
reposed
in
them
,
so
that
if
reason
and
law
were
now
in
date
,
by
the
breach
of
their
Priviledges
,
and
by
betraying
the
said
double
trust
that
is
put
in
them
,
they
have
dissolved
themselves
ipso
facto
I
cannot
tell
how
many
thousand
times
,
notwithstanding
that
monstrous
grant
of
the
Kings
,
that
fatall
act
of
continuance
:
And
truly
,
my
Lord
,
I
am
not
to
this
day
satisfied
of
the
legality
(
though
I
am
satisfied
of
the
forciblenesse
of
that
Act
)
whether
it
was
in
his
Majesties
power
to
passe
it
or
no
;
for
the
law
ever
presupposeth
these
clauses
in
all
concessions
of
Grace
,
in
all
Patents
,
Charters
,
and
Grants
whatsoever
the
King
passeth
,
Salvo
jure
regio
,
salvo
jure
coronae
.
To
conclude
,
as
I
presume
to
give
your
Lordship
these
humble
cautions
and
advice
in
particular
,
so
I
offer
it
to
all
other
of
your
rank
,
office
,
order
and
Relations
,
who
have
souls
to
save
,
and
who
by
solemn
indispensable
Oaths
have
ingaged
themseves
to
be
tru
and
loyall
to
the
Person
of
King
Charls
.
Touching
his
political
capacity
,
it
is
a
fancy
which
hath
bin
exploded
in
all
other
Parliaments
except
in
that
mad
infamous
Parliament
wher
it
was
first
hatched
;
That
which
bears
upon
Record
the
name
of
Insanum
Parliamentum
to
all
posterity
,
but
many
Acts
have
passed
since
that
,
it
shold
be
high
and
horrible
Treason
to
separat
or
distinguish
the
Person
of
the
King
from
His
Power
;
I
believe
,
as
I
said
before
,
this
distinction
will
not
serve
their
turn
at
the
dreadful
Bar
of
divine
justice
in
the
other
world
:
indeed
that
Rule
of
the
Pagans
makes
for
them
,
Si
Iusjurandum
violandum
est
,
Tyrannis
causâ
violandum
est
,
If
an
Oath
be
any
way
violable
,
't
is
to
get
a
Kingdom
:
We
find
by
woful
experience
that
according
to
this
maxime
they
have
made
themselves
all
Kings
by
violation
of
so
many
Oaths
;
They
have
monopoliz'd
the
whole
power
and
wealth
of
the
Kingdom
in
their
own
hands
;
they
cut
,
shuffle
,
deal
,
and
turn
up
what
trump
they
please
,
being
Judges
and
parties
in
every
thing
.
My
Lord
,
he
who
presents
these
humble
advertisments
to
your
Lordship
,
is
one
who
is
inclin'd
to
the
Parliament
of
Engl.
in
as
high
a
degree
of
affection
as
possibly
a
free-born
Subject
can
be
;
One
besides
,
who
wisheth
your
Lordships
good
,
with
the
preservation
of
your
safety
and
honour
more
really
then
he
whom
you
intrust
with
your
secretest
affaires
,
or
the
White
Iew
of
the
Upper
House
,
who
hath
infused
such
pernicious
principles
into
you
;
moreover
,
one
who
hath
some
drops
of
bloud
running
in
his
veins
,
which
may
claim
kindred
with
your
Lordship
:
and
lastly
,
he
is
one
who
would
kiss
your
feet
,
in
lieu
of
your
hands
,
if
your
Lordship
wold
be
so
sensible
of
the
most
desperat
case
of
your
poor
Country
,
as
to
employ
the
interests
,
the
opinion
and
power
you
have
to
restore
the
King
your
Master
by
English
waies
,
rather
then
a
hungry
forrein
people
,
who
are
like
to
bring
nothing
but
destruction
in
the
van
,
confusion
in
the
rear
,
and
rapine
in
the
middle
,
shold
have
the
honour
of
so
glorious
a
work
.
So
humbly
hoping
your
Lordship
will
not
take
with
the
left
hand
,
what
I
offer
with
the
right
,
I
rest
,
From
the
Prison
of

HIS
Late
MAJESTIES
Royal
DECLARATION
,
OR
MANIFESTO
TO
ALL
FORREIN
PRINCES
AND
STATES
,
Touching
his
constancy
in
the
Protestant
Religion
.
Being
traduced
abroad
by
some
Malicious
and
lying
Agents
,
That
He
was
wavering
therin
,
and
upon
the
high
road
of
returning
to
Rome
.
Printed
in
the
Year
,
1661.
TO
THE
Unbiass'd
REDER
.
IT
may
be
said
that
mischief
in
one
particular
hath
somthing
of
Vertue
in
it
,
which
is
,
That
the
Contrivers
and
Instruments
thereof
are
still
stirring
and
watchfull
.
They
are
commonly
more
pragmaticall
and
fuller
of
Devices
then
those
sober-minded
men
,
who
while
they
go
on
still
in
the
plaine
road
of
Reason
,
having
the
King
,
and
knowne
Lawes
to
justifie
and
protect
them
,
hold
themselfs
secure
enough
,
and
so
think
no
hurt
;
Iudas
eyes
were
open
to
betray
his
Master
,
while
the
rest
of
his
fellow-servants
were
quietly
asleep
.
The
Members
at
Westminster
were
men
of
the
first
gang
,
for
their
Mischievous
braines
were
alwayes
at
work
how
to
compasse
their
ends
;
And
one
of
their
prime
policies
in
order
thereunto
was
to
cast
asspersions
on
their
King
,
thereby
to
alienat
the
affections
and
fidelity
of
his
peeple
from
him
●…notwithstanding
that
besides
their
pub●…ick
Declarations
they
made
new
Oaths
and
protestations
,
whereby
they
swore
to
make
Him
the
best
belov'd
King
that
ever
was
;
)
Nor
did
this
Diabolicall
malice
terminat
only
within
the
bounds
of
his
own
Dominions
,
but
it
extended
to
infect
other
Princes
and
States
of
the
Reformed
Churches
abroad
to
make
Him
suspected
in
his
Religion
,
&
that
he
was
branling
in
his
belief
,
and
upon
the
high
way
to
Rome
;
To
which
purpose
they
sent
missives
and
clandestine
Emissaries
to
divers
places
beyond
the
Seas
,
whereof
forren
Authors
make
mention
in
their
writings
.
At
that
time
when
this
was
in
the
height
of
action
,
the
passage
from
London
to
Oxford
,
where
the
King
kept
then
his
Court
,
was
so
narrowly
blockd
up
,
that
a
fly
could
scarce
passe
;
some
Ladies
of
honor
being
search'd
in
an
unseemly
and
barbarous
manner
;
whereupon
the
penner
of
the
following
Declaration
,
finding
his
Royal
master
to
be
so
grosly
traduced
,
made
his
Duty
to
go
beyond
all
presumptions
,
by
causing
the
sayd
Declaration
to
be
printed
and
publish'd
in
Latin
,
French
and
English
,
whereof
great
numbers
were
sent
beyond
the
seas
to
France
,
Holland
,
Germany
,
Suisserland
,
Denmark
,
Swethland
,
and
to
the
English
plantations
abroad
,
to
vindicat
his
Majesty
in
this
point
,
which
produc'd
very
happy
and
advantagious
effects
for
Salmtisius
,
and
other
forrin
writers
of
great
esteem
speake
of
it
in
their
printed
works
.

Declaration

Almighty
God
,
King
of
England
,
Scotland
,
France
,
and
Ireland
,
Defendor
of
the
Faith
,
&c.
To
all
who
profess
the
tru
Reformed
Protestant
Religion
,
of
what
Nation
,
degree
,
and
condition
soever
they
be
to
whom
this
present
Declaration
shall
come
,
Greeting
.
WHeras
We
are
given
to
understand
,
that
many
false
rumors
,
and
scandalous
letters
are
spread
up
and
down
amongst
the
Reforme●…
Churches
in
forein
parts
by
the
Pollitick
,
or
rather
the
pernitious
industry
of
som
ill-affected
persons
,
that
we
have
an
inclination
to
recede
from
that
Orthodox
Religion
,
which
we
were
born
,
baptized
,
and
bred
in
,
&
which
We
have
firmly
professed
and
practised
throughout
the
whol
course
of
our
life
to
this
moment
,
and
that
We
intend
to
give
way
to
the
introduction
,
and
publick
exercise
of
Popery
again
in
Our
Dominions
:
Which
conjecture
or
rather
most
detestable
calumny
,
being
grounded
upon
no
imaginable
foundation
,
hath
raised
these
horrid
tumults
,
and
more
then
barbarous
wars
throughout
this
flourishing
Island
,
under
pretext
of
a
kind
of
Reformation
,
which
wold
not
only
prove
incongruous
,
but
incompatible
with
the
fundamental
Laws
and
Government
of
this
Kingdom
,
We
do
desire
that
the
whol
Christian
world
shold
take
notice
and
rest
assured
,
that
We
never
entertained
in
Our
imagination
the
least
thought
to
attempt
such
a
thing
,
or
to
depart
a
jot
from
that
holy
Religion
,
which
when
We
received
the
Crown
and
Scepter
of
this
Kingdom
,
VVe
took
a
most
solemn
Sacramental
Oath
to
profess
and
protect
.
Nor
doth
Our
most
constant
practise
and
quotidian
visible
presence
in
the
exercise
of
this
sole
Religion
,
with
so
many
Asseverations
in
the
head
of
Our
Armies
,
and
the
publick
attestation
of
Our
Barons
,
with
the
circumspection
used
in
the
education
of
our
Royall
Off-spring
,
besides
divers
other
undeniable
Arguments
,
only
demonstrate
this
;
But
also
that
happy
Alliance
of
Marriage
,
VVe
contracted
'twixt
Our
eldest
Daughter
,
and
the
Illustrious
Prince
of
Orenge
,
most
clearly
confirmes
the
reality
of
Our
intentions
herein
;
by
which
Nuptial
ingagement
it
appears
further
,
that
Our
endeavours
are
not
only
to
make
a
bare
profession
thereof
in
Our
own
Dominions
,
but
to
inlarge
and
corroborate
it
abroad
as
much
as
lieth
in
Our
Power
:
This
most
holy
Religion
of
the
Anglican
Church
,
ordained
by
so
many
Convocations
of
learned
Divines
,
confirmed
by
so
many
Acts
of
National
Parliaments
,
and
strengthned
by
so
many
Royal
Proclamations
,
together
with
the
Ecclesiastick
discipline
,
and
Liturgy
therunto
appertaining
,
which
Liturgy
and
discipline
,
the
most
eminent
of
Protestant
Authors
,
as
well
Germans
as
French
;
as
well
Danes
as
Swedes
and
Swittzens
;
as
well
Belgians
as
Bohemians
,
do
with
many
Elogies
(
and
not
without
a
kind
of
Envy
)
approve
and
applaud
in
their
publick
Writings
,
particularly
in
the
transactions
of
the
Synod
of
Dort
,
wherin
besides
other
of
Our
Divines
(
who
afterwards
were
Prelates
)
one
of
our
Bishops
assisted
,
to
whose
dignity
all
due
respects
and
precedency
was
given
:
This
Religion
We
say
,
which
Our
Royal
Father
of
blessed
memory
doth
publickly
assert
in
His
famous
Confession
addres'd
,
as
we
also
do
this
our
Protestation
,
to
all
Christian
Princes
;
This
,
this
most
holy
Religion
,
with
the
Hierarchy
and
Liturgy
therof
,
We
solemnly
protest
,
that
by
the
help
of
Almighty
God
,
we
will
endeavour
to
Our
utmost
power
,
and
last
period
of
our
life
,
to
keep
entire
and
inviolable
,
and
will
be
careful
,
according
to
Our
duty
to
Heaven
,
and
the
tenor
of
the
aforesaid
most
sacred
Oath
at
Our
Coronation
,
that
all
Our
Ecclesiasticks
in
their
several
degrees
and
incumbences
shall
preach
and
practise
the
same
.
VVherfore
VVe
enjoyn
and
command
all
Our
Ministers
of
State
beyond
the
Seas
,
aswell
Ambassadors
as
Residents
,
Agents
,
and
Messengers
,
And
VVe
desire
all
the
rest
of
Our
loving
subjects
that
sojourn
either
for
curiosity
or
commerce
in
any
forein
parts
,
to
communicate
,
uphold
and
assert
this
Our
solemn
and
sincere
protestation
when
opportunity
of
time
and
place
shall
be
offered
.

To
my
Honored
and
known
friend
Sir
I.
C.
Knight
.
SIR
,
AMongst
many
other
Barbarismes
which
like
an
impetuous
Torrent
have
lately
rush'd
in
upon
us
,
The
interception
and
opening
of
Letters
is
none
of
the
least
,
For
it
hath
quite
bereft
all
ingenious
Spirits
of
that
correspondency
and
sweet
communication
of
fancy
,
which
hath
bin
alwaies
esteemed
the
best
fuel
of
affection
,
and
the
very
marrow
of
friendship
.
And
truly
,
in
my
judgement
,
this
custom
may
be
termed
not
only
a
Barbarisme
,
but
the
ba●…est
kind
of
Burglary
that
can
be
,
't
is
a
plundering
of
the
very
brain
,
as
is
spoken
in
another
place
.
We
are
reduced
here
to
that
servile
condition
,
or
rather
to
such
a
height
of
slavery
,
that
we
have
nothing
left
which
may
entitle
us
free
Rationall
creatures
;
the
thought
it self
cannot
say
't
is
free
,
much
less
the
tongue
or
pen.
Which
makes
me
impart
unto
You
the
traverses
of
these
turbulent
times
,
under
the
following
fables
.
I
know
you
are
an
exquisite
Astronomer
.
I
know
the
deep
inspection
you
have
in
all
parts
of
Philosophy
,
I
know
you
are
a
good
Herald
,
and
I
have
found
in
your
Library
sundry
books
of
Architecture
,
and
Comments
upon
Vitruvius
.
The
unfolding
of
these
Apologues
will
put
you
to
it
in
all
these
,
and
will
require
▪
your
second
,
if
not
your
third
thoughts
,
and
when
you
have
concocted
them
well
,
I
believe
,
(
else
I
am
much
deceived
in
your
Genius
)
they
will
afford
you
som
entertainment
,
and
do
the
errand
upon
which
they
are
sent
,
which
is
,
to
communicate
unto
you
the
most
material
passages
of
this
long'd-for
Parlement
,
and
of
these
sad
confusions
which
have
so
unhing'd
,
distorted
,
transvers'd
,
tumbled
and
dislocated
all
things
,
that
England
may
be
termed
now
,
in
comparison
of
what
it
was
,
no
other
then
an
Anagram
of
a
Kingdom
.
One
thing
I
promise
you
,
in
the
perusal
of
these
Parables
,
that
you
shall
find
no
gingles
in
them
,
or
any
thing
sordid
or
scurrilous
,
the
common
dialect
and
disease
of
these
times
.
So
I
leave
you
to
the
gard
and
guidance
,
Of
God
and
Vertu
who
do
still
advance
Their
Favorits
,
maugre
the
frownes
of
Chance
.

constant
servant

The
great
CONJUNCTION
,
OR
,
Parlement
of
STARS
.
UPon
a
time
,
the
Stars
complained
to
Apollo
,
that
he
displayed
his
beams
too
much
upon
some
malignant
Planets
;
That
the
Moone
had
too
great
a
share
of
his
influence
,
and
that
he
was
carryed
away
too
much
by
her
motion
:
They
complained
also
,
that
the
constellation
of
Libra
(
which
holds
the
ballance
of
Justice
)
had
but
a
dim
light
,
and
that
the
Astrean
Court
was
grown
altogether
destructive
,
with
divers
other
grievances
.
Apollo
hereupon
,
commanded
Mercury
to
summon
a
generall
Synod
,
where
some
out
of
every
Asterisme
throughout
the
whole
Firmament
were
to
meet
;
Apollo
told
them
,
I
am
placed
here
by
the
finger
of
the
Almighty
,
to
be
Monarch
of
the
skie
,
to
be
the
Measurer
of
Time
,
and
I
goe
upon
his
errand
round
about
the
worl●…
every
foure
and
twenty
houres
:
I
am
also
the
Fountaine
of
Heate
and
Light
,
which
,
though
I
use
to
dispence
and
diffuse
in
equall
proportions
through
the
whole
Universe
;
yet
there
is
difference
'twixt
objects
,
a
Castle
hath
more
of
my
light
then
a
Cottage
,
and
the
Cedar
hath
more
of
me
then
the
Shrub
,
according
to
the
common
axiom
,
Quicquid
recipitur
,
recipitur
ad
modum
recip●…entis
.
But
touching
the
Moon
,
(
the
second
great
Luminary
)
I
would
have
you
know
,
that
she
is
dearest
unto
mee
,
therefore
let
none
repine
that
I
cherish
her
with
my
beams
,
and
confer
more
light
on
her
then
any
other
.
Touching
the
malignant
Planets
,
or
any
other
Star
,
of
what
magnitude
soever
,
that
moves
not
in
a
regular
motion
,
or
hath
run
any
excentrick
exorbitant
course
,
or
that
would
have
made
me
to
move
out
of
the
Zodiak
,
I
put
them
over
unto
you
,
that
upon
due
legall
examination
and
proof
,
they
may
be
unspher'd
or
extinguished
.
But
I
would
have
this
done
with
moderation
;
I
would
have
you
to
keep
as
neer
as
you
can
between
the
Tropiques
and
temperate
Zones
:
I
would
have
things
reduced
to
their
true
Principles
,
I
wold
have
things
reformed
,
not
ruin'd
;
I
would
have
the
spirit
of
malice
and
lying
,
the
spirit
of
partiality
and
injustice
,
the
spirit
of
tyranny
and
rigour
,
the
base
spirit
of
feare
and
jealousie
to
be
farre
from
this
glorious
Syderean
Synod
;
I
would
have
all
private
interests
reflecting
upon
revenge
or
profit
,
to
be
utterly
banished
hence
:
Moreover
,
I
would
not
have
you
to
make
grievances
,
where
no
grievances
are
,
or
dangers
where
no
dangers
are
.
I
would
have
no
creation
of
dangers
;
I
would
have
you
to
husband
time
as
parsimoniously
as
you
can
,
lest
by
keeping
too
long
together
,
and
amusing
the
world
with
such
tedious
hopes
of
redress
of
grievances
,
you
prove
your self
the
greatest
grievance
at
last
,
and
so
from
Starrs
become
Comets
:
Lastly
,
I
would
have
you
be
cautious
how
you
tamper
with
my
Soveraign
power
,
and
chop
Logicke
with
mee
in
that
point
;
you
know
what
became
of
Him
who
once
presumed
to
meddle
with
my
Chariot
.
Hereupon
the
whole
Host
of
Heaven
being
constellated
thus
into
one
great
Body
,
fell
into
a
serious
deliberation
of
things
,
and
Apollo
himself
continued
his
presence
,
and
sate
often
amongst
them
in
his
full
lustre
,
but
in
the
meane
time
,
whilest
they
were
in
the
midst
of
their
consultations
,
many
odde
Aspects
,
Oppositions
and
Conjunctions
hapned
between
them
:
for
some
of
the
Sporades
,
but
specially
those
mongrel
small
vulgar
stars
,
which
make
up
the
Galaxia
(
the
milkie
way
in
Heaven
)
gather
in
a
tumultuous
disorderly
manner
about
the
body
of
Apollo
,
and
commit
many
strange
insolencies
,
which
caused
Apollo
(
taking
young
Phosphorus
the
Morning-Star
with
him
)
to
retire
himself
,
and
in
a
just
indignation
to
withdraw
his
Light
from
the
Synod
:
so
all
began
to
be
involv'd
in
a
strange
kind
of
confusion
and
obscurity
;
they
groaped
in
the
dark
,
not
knowing
which
way
to
move
,
or
what
course
to
take
,
all
things
went
Cancer-like
retrograde
,
because
the
Sun
detained
his
wonted
light
and
irradiations
from
them
.
MORALL
.
Such
as
the
Sun
is
in
the
Firmament
,
a
Monarch
is
in
his
Kingdom
:
for
,
as
the
Wisest
of
men
saith
,
In
the
light
of
the
Kings
Countenance
ther
is
life
;
and
I
believe
that
to
be
the
Morall
of
this
Astrean
Fable

OR
,
The
Great
Councell
of
BIRDS
.
UPon
a
time
the
Birds
met
in
Councell
,
for
redresse
of
som
extravagancies
that
had
flown
unto
the
volatill
Empire
;
Nor
was
it
the
first
time
that
Birds
met
thus
;
for
the
Phrygian
Fabler
tells
us
of
divers
meetings
of
theirs
:
And
after
him
we
read
that
Apollonius
Thyaneus
,
undertook
the
interpretation
of
their
language
,
and
to
be
their
Drogoman
.
They
thus
assembled
in
one
Great
Covie
by
the
call
of
the
Eagle
their
unquestioned
hereditary
King
,
and
by
vertue
of
his
Royal
Authority
,
complaints
were
brought
,
that
divers
Cormorants
and
Harpies
,
with
other
Birds
of
prey
,
had
got
in
amongst
them
,
who
did
much
annoy
and
invade
the
publick
liberty
:
sundry
other
Birds
were
questioned
,
which
caused
some
to
take
a
timely
flight
into
another
aire
.
As
they
were
thus
consulting
for
advancement
of
the
common
good
,
many
Rooks
,
Horn-Owles
and
Sea-Gulls
flock'd
together
,
and
●…luttered
about
the
place
they
were
assembled
in
,
where
they
kept
a
hideous
noise
,
and
committed
many
outrages
,
and
nothing
cold
satisfie
them
,
but
the
Griffons
head
,
which
was
therfore
chopt
off
,
and
offered
up
as
a
sacrifice
to
make
them
leave
their
chattering
,
and
to
appease
their
fury
for
the
time
.
They
fell
foul
afterwards
upon
the
Pies
,
who
were
used
to
be
much
reverenced
,
and
to
sit
upon
the
highest
pearch
in
that
great
Assembly
:
they
called
them
I
dolatrous
and
inauspitious
Birds
,
they
hated
their
mix'd
colour
,
repined
at
their
long
train
,
they
tore
their
white
feathers
,
and
were
ready
to
peck
out
their
very
eyes
:
they
did
what
they
could
to
put
them
in
Owles
feathers
(
as
the
poor
Sheep
was
in
the
Woolfs
skin
)
to
make
them
the
more
hated
,
and
to
be
star'd
and
hooted
at
whersoever
they
passed
.
The
Pies
being
thus
scar'd
,
presented
a
Petition
to
the
royall
Eagle
,
and
to
this
his
great
Counsell
,
that
they
might
be
secured
to
repaire
safely
thither
to
sit
and
consult
,
according
to
the
ancient
Lawes
of
the
Volatill
Empire
continued
so
many
ages
without
controllment
or
question
:
in
which
Petition
they
inserted
a
Protest
or
Caveat
,
that
no
publique
act
shold
passe
in
the
interim
.
This
Supplication
,
both
for
matter
and
form
,
was
excepted
against
,
and
cryed
up
to
be
high
Treason
,
specially
that
indefinite
Protest
they
had
made
,
that
no
Act
whatsoever
shold
be
of
any
validity
without
them
,
which
was
alledged
to
derogate
from
the
High
Law-making
power
of
that
Great
Counsell
,
and
tended
to
retard
and
disturb
the
great
Affaires
which
were
then
in
agitation
:
so
the
poor
Pies
,
as
if
by
that
Petition
they
had
like
the
Black-bird
voided
Lime
to
catch
themselves
,
(
according
to
the
Proverb
,
Turdus
cacat
sibi
malum
)
were
suddenly
hurryed
away
into
a
Cage
,
and
after
ten
long
Moneths
canvassing
of
the
point
,
they
were
unpearch'd
,
and
rendered
for
ever
uncapable
to
be
Members
of
that
Court
,
they
were
struck
dumb
and
voice-less
,
and
suddenly
as
it
were
blown
up
away
thence
,
though
without
any
force
of
powder
,
as
once
was
plotted
aginst
them
.
But
this
was
done
when
a
thin
number
of
the
adverse
Birds
had
kept
still
together
,
and
stuck
close
against
them
,
and
also
after
that
the
Bill
concerning
them
had
bin
once
ejected
,
which
they
humbly
conceived
by
the
ancient
order
of
that
Court
could
not
be
re-admitted
in
the
same
Session
.
They
Petitioned
from
the
place
they
were
cooped
in
,
that
for
heavens
sake
,
for
the
honour
of
that
noble
Counsell
,
for
Truth
and
Justice
sake
,
they
●…eing
as
free-born
Denisons
of
the
aiery
Region
,
as
any
other
Volatills
whatsoever
,
their
charge
might
be
perfected
,
that
so
they
might
be
brought
to
a
legall
triall
,
and
not
forced
to
languish
in
such
captivity
.
They
pleaded
to
have
done
nothing
but
what
they
had
precedents
for
:
And
touching
the
Caveat
they
had
inserted
,
it
was
a
thing
unusuall
in
every
inferiour
Court
of
Judicature
,
and
had
they
forborn
to
have
done
it
,
they
had
betrayed
their
own
nest
,
and
done
wrong
to
their
successors
.
It
was
affirmed
they
had
bin
Members
of
that
Body
politique
,
long
before
those
lower
pearch'd
Birds
,
who
now
wold
cast
them
out
;
and
that
they
had
bin
their
best
friends
to
introduce
them
to
have
any
thing
do
do
in
that
generall
Counsell
:
they
prayed
they
might
not
be
so
cruelly
used
,
as
the
Solan
goose
,
and
Redshanke
had
used
them
,
who
were
not
content
to
brail
and
clip
their
wings
only
,
but
to
●…ear
them
so
,
that
they
shold
never
grow
again
;
to
handle
them
so
unmercifully
,
was
not
the
way
to
make
their
adversaries
Birds
of
Paradice
:
in
fine
,
they
advised
them
to
remember
what
the
sick
Kite's
Mother
answered
him
,
when
he
desired
her
to
pray
to
the
Gods
for
him
,
How
canst
thou
,
said
she
,
expect
any
good
from
the
Gods
,
whose
Temples
thou
hast
so
violated
?
At
last
,
upon
the
importunity
and
pitifulness
of
their
Petitions
,
the
accusation
of
Treason
,
which
kept
such
a
noise
at
first
,
being
declined
against
them
,
they
were
released
in
the
morning
,
but
cooped
up
again
before
night
:
and
after
the
revolution
of
four
full
Moons
,
they
were
restored
again
to
a
conditionall
liberty
,
under
which
they
remain
till
this
day
.
Ther
wants
not
som
,
who
affirm
,
that
in
that
Great
Counsell
of
Birds
,
ther
were
som
Decoys
(
and
't
is
well
known
where
Decoys
were
first
bred
)
who
called
in
,
not
only
these
mongrill
obstreperous
Birds
from
abroad
to
commit
such
outrages
as
were
spoken
of
before
,
but
drew
after
them
also
many
of
the
greatest
Birds
,
who
sate
in
that
Assembly
,
to
follow
them
whither
they
listed
:
Others
,
who
were
of
a
more
generous
extraction
,
disdained
to
be
such
Buzzards
,
as
to
be
carryed
away
hood-wincked
in
that
manner
,
to
be
Birds
of
their
feather
.
Thus
a
visible
faction
was
hatched
in
this
great
Counsell
,
as
if
the
said
Decoyes
had
disgorged
and
let
fall
som
grains
of
Hemlock
seeds
amongst
them
to
distemper
their
brains
.
Or
,
as
if
som
Spinturnix
,
that
fatall
incendiary
Bird
,
or
som
ill-boding
Scritch-Owle
,
which
as
stories
tell
us
appeared
once
at
Rome
,
in
a
famous
,
though
unfortunate
great
Counsell
(
when
ther
was
a
schism
in
the
Popedom
)
had
appeared
likewise
here
.
Ther
wanted
not
also
amongst
them
som
Amphibious
Birds
,
as
the
Barnacle
,
which
is
neither
Fish
nor
Fowle
;
and
the
cunning
Ba●…t
,
who
sometimes
professeth
himself
a
Bird
,
sometimes
a
Mouse
.
I
will
not
say
ther
were
any
Paphlagonian
Birds
amongst
them
,
who
are
known
to
have
double
hearts
.
But
't
is
certain
,
that
in
this
confusion
ther
were
som
malevolent
Birds
,
and
many
of
them
so
young
,
that
they
were
scarce
fledg'd
,
who
like
the
Waspe
in
the
Fable
,
conspired
to
fire
the
Eagles
nest
,
(
and
a
Wasp
may
somtimes
do
mischief
to
an
Eagle
as
a
Mouse
to
an
Elephant
.
)
Moreover
som
of
these
light
brained
Birds
flew
so
high
,
that
they
seemed
to
arrogate
to
themselves
,
and
exercise
royall
power
,
but
foolishly
;
for
we
know
what
became
of
the
Crow
upon
the
Ram's
back
,
when
she
thought
to
imitate
the
Eagle
:
And
as
it
was
observed
that
they
were
most
eager
to
attempt
those
high
insolensies
against
Jove's
Bird
,
who
had
bin
stark
naked
,
and
as
bare
as
Cootes
,
unlesse
he
had
feathered
them
;
so
that
the
little
Ant
was
more
grateful
to
Esops
Bird
;
then
those
Birds
were
to
the
Eagle
their
liege
Lord
and
Master
.
But
the
high-born
Bird
with
the
two
golden
wings
,
the
noble
Faulcons
,
the
Martlets
,
the
Ravens
,
the
Swan
,
the
Chough
,
and
all
the
ancient
Birds
of
the
Mountains
remained
faithful
and
firm
to
the
Eagle
,
and
scorned
to
be
carryed
away
by
such
Decoyes
;
As
also
the
generous
Ostriches
,
who
unlesse
they
had
had
an
extraordinary
stomach
,
could
not
have
digested
such
iron
pills
as
were
offered
them
.
Amongst
other
great
Birds
which
banded
against
the
Eagle
,
the
flying
Dragons
,
Green
and
White
,
were
busie
,
specially
the
White
;
And
for
the
Green
,
considering
he
was
an
ancient
Bird
of
the
Mountains
,
and
that
his
Progenitors
had
bin
so
renowned
for
their
rare
loyaly
to
the
Crown
,
every
one
wondered
that
he
shold
be
drawn
so
far
by
the
forefaid
Decoyes
,
as
to
be
the
first
of
his
race
that
shold
clap
his
wings
against
his
Soverain
Liege
Lord.
The
aforesaid
destractions
continued
still
,
and
increased
more
and
more
in
that
general
convolation
of
Birds
;
therfore
the
Turtle
wold
stay
ther
no
longer
,
ther
was
so
much
gall
amongst
them
:
the
Pelecan
flew
away
,
he
saw
Piety
so
vilified
;
the
Dove
was
weary
of
their
company
,
she
found
no
simplicity
and
plain
dealing
amongst
them
:
And
the
Kings
▪
Fisher
,
the
Halcyon
(
the
Emblem
of
Peace
)
quite
forsook
them
,
he
found
so
mnch
jarring
,
dissentions
,
and
bandings
on
all
sides
;
the
Swallow
also
,
who
had
so
ancient
and
honourable
a
rank
amongst
them
,
got
into
another
aire
,
he
fore-saw
the
weather
was
like
to
so
be
foul
:
And
lastly
,
Philomela
,
the
Queen
of
Volatills
,
who
was
partner
of
the
Eagle's
nest
,
abandoned
them
quite
,
and
put
a
Sea
'twixt
her
and
them
;
nay
,
the
Eagle
himself
withdrew
his
royal
presence
from
them
;
so
the
Decoyes
aforesaid
carryed
all
before
them
,
and
comported
themselves
by
their
Orders
in
that
hight
,
as
if
like
the
Lapwing
,
every
one
had
a
Crown
on
his
head
;
they
so
inchanted
in
a
manner
,
all
the
common
sort
of
Oppidan
,
rurall
,
and
Sea-birds
,
and
infused
such
a
credulity
into
them
,
that
they
believed
them
to
have
an
inerring
spirit
,
and
what
came
from
them
,
was
as
tru
as
the
Pentateuch
:
Moreover
,
it
was
shrewdly
suspected
,
that
ther
was
a
pernicious
plot
amongst
them
to
let
in
the
Stork
,
who
is
never
seen
to
stay
long
in
any
Monarchy
.
MORALL
.
Moderation
is
that
Goden
Rule
wherby
all
Great
Counsells
shold
square
their
deliberations
,
and
nothing
can
tend
more
to
their
Honour
or
dishonour
,
in
point
of
Wisdom
:
Moreover
,
in
a
Successive
hereditary
Monarchy
,
when
subjects
assume
Regall
Power
,
when
they
bar
the
Holy
Church
of
her
Rights
,
&
of
that
Reverence
which
is
due
to
her
chief
Professors
,
it
is
the
most
compendious
way
to
bring
all
things
to
confusion
,
and
consequently
to
an
inevitable
ruine
,
or
som
fatal
Change.
And
this
I
hold
to
be
the
chiefest
Morall
of
this
Apologue
of
Birds
.

The
gathering
together
,
or
Parlement
of
FLOWERS
.
UPon
a
time
,
The
Flowers
assembled
,
and
met
in
one
generall
Counsell
,
by
the
authority
and
summons
of
the
Soveraign
Rose
,
their
undoubted
naturall
King
,
who
had
taken
the
Lilly
for
his
royall
spouse
.
The
dew
of
heaven
fell
plentifully
upon
this
happy
conjunction
,
which
made
them
to
Bourgeon
,
to
propagate
and
prosper
exceedingly
,
in
so
much
,
that
the
sweet
fragrant
odor
which
they
did
cast
,
diffused
it self
over
all
the
earth
.
To
this
meeting
came
the
Violet
,
Gilliflower
,
the
Rosemary
,
the
Tulyp
,
Lavender
and
Thyme
,
the
Cinquefoyle
(
though
of
a
forren
growth
)
had
an
honourable
rank
amongst
them
,
and
as
some
observed
,
got
too
much
credit
with
the
royal
Rose
.
The
Flowers
of
the
field
were
admitted
also
to
this
great
Counsell
:
the
Couslip
,
the
Honysukle
and
Daisie
had
their
Delegates
there
present
,
to
consult
of
a
Reformation
of
certain
abuses
which
had
taken
rooting
in
the
Common
wealth
of
Flowers
,
and
being
all
under
the
Rose
,
they
had
priviledge
to
speak
all
things
with
freedome
;
Complaints
were
made
that
much
Cockle
and
Darnell
,
with
other
noxious
Herbs
and
tares
were
crept
in
amongst
them
,
that
the
Poppie
did
pullulat
too
much
,
with
divers
other
grievances
:
The
successe
of
this
Senat
,
this
great
Bed
or
Posie
of
living
Flowers
,
was
like
to
prove
very
prosperous
,
but
that
the
herb
Briony
,
Wormwood
,
Wolfbane
,
Rue
,
and
Melampod
(
the
emblems
of
Sedition
,
Malice
,
Feare
,
Ambition
and
Iealousie
)
thrust
in
amongst
them
,
and
much
distempered
their
proceedings
:
These
brought
in
with
them
the
Bur
,
which
exceedingly
retarded
and
intangled
all
businesses
;
and
it
was
thought
that
the
Thistle
was
too
medling
amongst
them
,
which
made
matters
grow
to
that
acrimony
and
confusion
,
as
if
the
herb
Morsus
diaboli
had
got
in
amongst
them
.
Amongst
many
other
good-morrows
,
they
propounded
to
the
Rose
,
that
he
should
part
with
his
prickles
,
and
transmit
his
strength
that
way
to
be
disposed
of
by
them
;
the
Royall
Rose
liked
not
this
bold
request
of
theirs
,
though
couched
in
very
smooth
language
,
but
answered
,
I
have
hitherto
condescended
to
every
thing
you
have
propounded
,
much
more
then
▪
any
of
my
Predecessors
ever
did
;
but
touching
these
prickles
,
which
God
and
nature
hath
given
mee
,
and
are
inherent
in
me
and
my
stock
from
the
beginning
,
though
they
be
but
excressencies
,
yet
you
know
they
fortifie
and
arm
me
,
Armat
Spina
Rosam
.
And
by
them
I
protect
you
and
your
rights
from
violence
,
and
what
protection
I
pray
can
there
be
without
strength
?
therefore
I
will
by
no
means
part
with
them
to
enfeeble
my
regall
Power
,
but
will
retain
them
still
,
and
bequeath
them
to
my
Posterity
,
which
I
would
be
loth
to
betray
in
this
point
;
nor
doe
I
much
value
what
that
silly
infected
Animall
,
the
King
of
Bees
tells
me
sometimes
,
when
humming
up
and
downe
my
leaves
,
he
would
buzze
this
fond
belief
into
me
,
how
it
added
much
to
his
Majestie
,
that
nature
gives
him
no
sting
,
as
all
other
Bees
have
,
because
he
should
rely
altogether
upon
the
love
and
loyalty
of
his
subjects
.
No
;
I
will
take
warning
by
the
Eagle
,
the
King
of
Volatills
,
and
by
the
Lyon
,
King
of
Quadrupedals
,
who
(
as
the
Prince
of
Moralists
reports
)
when
by
fayre
insinuations
the
one
had
parted
with
his
tallons
,
the
other
with
his
teeth
and
ongles
,
wherein
their
might
,
and
consequently
their
Majesty
consisted
,
grew
afterwards
contemptible
to
all
creatures
,
and
quite
lost
that
natural
allegeance
and
awe
which
was
duc
unto
the
one
from
all
birds
,
and
to
the
other
,
from
all
beasts
of
field
and
forrest
.
MORALL
.
Every
naturall
borne
Monarch
,
hath
an
inherent
inalienable
strength
in
himself
,
which
is
the
common
Militia
of
his
Kingdome
;
for
,
though
the
peoples
love
(
which
oftentimes
is
got
by
an
Apple
,
and
lost
by
a
Peare
)
be
a
good
Cittadell
,
yet
there
must
be
a
concurrence
of
some
visible
setled
force
besides
,
which
no
earthly
power
may
dispose
of
without
his
royall
commands
:
and
for
him
to
transmit
this
strength
to
any
other
,
is
the
only
way
to
render
him
inglorious
and
despicable
,
both
at
home
and
abroad
;
And
thus
you
have
the
spirit
of
these
Flowers
,
and
Morall
of
the
Fable
.
The
Assembly
of
Architects
.
THere
was
an
ancient
goodly
Palace
,
composed
of
divers
pieces
,
and
partition'd
into
sundry
Chambers
,
Halls
and
Courts
,
which
were
supported
by
mixt
Pillars
,
partly
Corinthian
,
partly
Ionique
,
but
principally
by
the
Dorique
the
King
of
Columnes
,
as
having
the
firmest
Pedestall
:
Some
tooke
exceptions
,
and
alledged
,
that
some
of
the
said
Courts
were
too
high
,
and
some
of
the
Chambers
in
this
Structure
were
too
wide
.
The
Lord
of
this
Palace
call'd
together
the
best
Masons
and
Architects
,
to
advise
with
him
(
not
without
him
)
for
mending
of
those
faults
,
the
better
contrivance
of
the
roomes
,
and
to
reduce
the
Building
to
a
just
proportion
.
They
solemnly
met
,
and
falling
to
consultation
hereof
,
they
found
that
the
Chamber
which
was
spangled
with
Stars
,
and
where
his
privat
Counsell
of
State
did
use
to
sit
,
were
too
wide
;
they
thought
that
the
Court
erected
on
the
North-side
,
and
that
learned
Court
where
Ecclesiasticall
matters
were
scanned
,
was
too
high
;
These
,
with
that
peculiar
Court
which
was
erected
for
the
support
of
Honour
,
they
went
about
in
lieu
of
rectifying
,
to
ruinat
and
raze
to
the
very
ground
;
and
some
of
these
Masons
(
for
indeed
they
were
rather
Masons
then
true
Architects
)
were
so
precise
and
over
criticall
,
that
they
seem'd
to
find
fault
with
the
position
of
the
Chappell
that
belong'd
to
this
Palace
,
because
,
forsooth
,
it
stood
East
and
west
,
which
situation
,
only
in
regard
it
was
ancient
,
they
held
to
be
a
superstitious
posture
;
They
seem'd
to
repine
at
the
decencie
,
riches
and
ornament
of
it
,
with
divers
other
frivolous
exceptions
.
The
Lord
of
the
Palace
said
little
to
that
,
but
touching
the
errors
and
disproportions
in
the
foresaid
Courts
and
Chambers
of
publick
justice
,
he
was
very
willing
they
should
be
amended
,
and
reduced
to
a
true
dimension
and
symmetrie
;
and
that
all
other
roomes
should
be
searched
and
swept
cleane
:
but
he
would
be
loth
to
see
those
ancient
pieces
quite
demolish'd
,
for
that
would
hazard
the
fall
of
the
maine
Fabrique
,
his
princely
hereditary
patrimony
(
descended
upon
him
from
so
many
wise
Oeconomists
and
royall
Progenitors
)
in
regard
of
the
●…uncture
and
contignation
those
parts
had
with
the
whole
frame
.
To
mend
a
thing
by
demolishing
it
,
is
as
curing
a
sick
body
by
knocking
him
in
the
head
:
he
told
them
it
was
easier
far
to
pull
down
,
then
build
up
;
one
may
batter
to
pieces
in
one
houre
,
that
which
cannot
be
built
in
an
age
:
That
everlasting
Villaine
,
who
burnt
the
Ephesian
Temple
,
destroyed
,
as
it
were
in
a
trice
,
what
was
a
rearing
up
ten
long
Olympiads
:
He
wish'd
them
further
to
be
very
cautious
how
they
medled
with
th
the
Angulars
and
Basis
of
that
Royal
Structure
;
for
so
they
might
prove
as
wise
as
those
Architects
,
who
took
out
som
of
the
foundation
stones
,
to
repair
the
roof
.
Lastly
,
he
told
them
,
that
if
they
intended
to
pull
down
any
part
of
his
own
standing
Palace
,
they
shold
be
well
advised
before
hand
of
the
fashion
wherof
that
new
Fabrick
shold
be
,
which
they
purposed
to
rear
up
in
the
room
of
the
old
.
MORAL
Innovations
are
of
dangerous
consequence
in
all
things
,
specially
in
a
setled
well
temper'd
ancient
State
;
therfore
ther
shold
be
great
heed
taken
,
before
any
ancient
Court
of
Judicature
,
erected
as
a
Pillar
to
support
Justice
by
the
wisdom
of
our
Progenitors
,
be
quite
put
down
;
for
it
may
shake
the
whole
Fram
of
Government
,
and
introduce
a
change
;
and
changes
in
Government
are
commonly
fatall
,
for
seldom
comes
a
better
.
And
this
I
hold
to
be
the
aim
of
this
Apologue
.
The
Insurrection
of
the
Winds
.
IT
fortuned
,
that
the
Winds
banded
against
Eolus
:
And
Boreas
(
the
North-wind
)
began
to
bluster
first
,
and
wold
blow
wher
he
listed
,
he
grew
so
boisterous
,
that
he
is
call'd
Scopa
viarum
,
the
high-way
Beesom
,
he
seem'd
to
sweep
all
before
him
Southward
,
insomuch
,
that
uniting
all
his
strength
into
one
body
,
he
made
towards
Eolus
in
a
hostile
armed
manner
,
and
so
obtained
of
him
what
he
desired
.
After
his
example
(
and
an
odde
example
it
was
)
the
West-wind
,
his
fellow
subject
rose
up
,
alledging
,
that
though
he
blew
from
the
left-side
of
Heaven
,
yet
he
deserved
to
be
as
much
favoured
as
Boreas
,
in
regard
he
drove
a
far
richer
trade
,
and
blew
upon
a
more
fertile
Countrey
,
which
brought
in
much
more
benefit
to
the
rest
of
Eolus
his
Dominions
;
therfore
he
would
have
his
liberties
also
assur'd
him
,
which
he
alledged
were
altogether
as
ancient
as
the
others
:
This
made
him
puff
with
such
an
impetuous
violence
,
that
his
blasts
brought
with
them
(
God
wot
)
divers
showres
of
bloud
,
and
whole
Cataracts
of
calamities
:
Now
,
as
it
is
observed
in
the
course
of
naturall
things
,
that
one
mischief
seldom
marcheth
alone
,
but
ushers
in
another
,
and
hath
alwaies
its
concomitants
,
so
these
North
and
Western
gusts
,
as
one
wave
useth
to
drive
on
another
,
made
all
the
winds
in
the
compasse
,
both
collaterall
and
cardinall
to
rise
up
and
rebell
against
Eolus
,
even
under
that
very
Clime
,
and
in
those
Horizons
,
where
he
kept
his
principall
residence
and
royal
Court.
And
this
popular
wind
(
for
't
was
no
other
,
take
it
all
joyntly
in
one
puff
)
did
rage
with
that
vehemency
,
that
it
turn'd
every
wher
into
fearful
flames
of
fire
(
issuing
out
of
a
kind
of
Ignis
fatuus
,
which
by
its
repercussions
,
and
furious
arietations
,
did
a
world
of
mischief
,
as
if
it
had
bin
that
incendiary
Prester
wind
,
or
rather
an
Haraucana
,
that
Indian
gust
,
which
alwaies
brings
the
Devil
along
with
it
as
those
Savages
believe
)
had
blown
here
,
For
,
surely
God
was
not
in
this
wind
.
Yet
som
were
so
simple
,
to
think
that
this
wind
proceeded
from
divine
inspirations
;
nay
,
they
came
to
that
height
of
prophaneness
,
as
to
father
it
upon
the
Holy
Ghost
,
though
nothing
could
be
more
different
to
his
sweet
motions
,
nothing
so
directly
opposit
to
his
soft
gentle
breeses
and
eventilatio●…s
;
for
no
holy
consecrated
thing
could
stand
before
this
Diabolical
wind
,
down
went
all
Crosses
it
met
withall
;
it
batter'd
down
Church
and
Chappel
windowes
(
and
I
fear
the
walls
and
steeples
will
next
to
wrack
.
)
It
was
so
violent
,
that
it
overturn'd
all
stone
Tables
that
stood
East-ward
;
it
blew
away
all
the
decent
Vests
and
Ornaments
of
the
Church
;
the
Bishops
Mitre
(
an
Order
contemporary
with
Christianity
it self
)
did
quake
like
an
Aspen
leaf
before
it
;
nay
,
it
shrewdly
shook
the
very
Imperial
Scepter
,
and
Crown
which
stood
on
Eolus
his
head
,
so
that
he
was
like
to
become
Ludibrium
Ventorum
.
But
the
highest
Deity
of
Heaven
,
He
who
walketh
upon
the
wings
of
the
wind
,
and
makes
weight
for
them
,
and
gathereth
them
in
his
fist
when
he
pleaseth
,
hating
such
an
odious
rebellion
,
rebuked
these
tumultuous
winds
,
he
caused
a
contagious
aire
,
to
rush
in
and
mingle
with
them
,
and
infect
them
with
new
d●…seases
;
besides
whispers
of
jealousies
,
doubts
and
diffidence
blew
and
buzz'd
more
and
more
amongst
them
,
so
that
they
could
not
trust
one
another
;
insomuch
,
that
it
made
them
to
fall
into
confusion
amongst
themselves
,
which
is
the
common
fate
of
all
Rebellions
.
So
Eolus
recovered
his
Monarchy
,
and
as
they
say
,
ther
is
no
wind
but
blows
som
body
good
;
so
this
turn'd
much
to
the
advantage
of
Eolus
,
for
he
grew
ever
after
more
firm
and
better
establish'd
in
his
regall
power
,
because
he
put
a
competent
guard
in
those
Climes
whence
all
these
boistrous
winds
burst
forth
,
and
so
secur'd
himself
ever
after
,
that
they
could
not
blow
where
they
listed
.
Popular
Insurrections
being
debell'd
,
turn
to
the
advantage
,
and
render
the
Ruling
Prince
more
secure
afterwards
,
or
a
broken
bone
being
well
set
,
growes
stronger
oftentimes
:
And
so
you
have
the
Principal
Morall
of
this
Parable
in
brief
.
POST-SCRIPT

SIr
,
I
long
to
receive
your
opinion
of
these
rambling
pieces
of
fancy
,
you
may
,
peradventure
,
have
more
,
when
the
times
are
open
:
surely
the
wind
will
not
hold
stil
in
this
unlucky
hole
,
for
it
is
too
violent
to
last
:
It
begins
(
thanks
be
to
God
)
to
sift
already
,
and
amongst
those
multitudes
,
who
expect
the
change
,
I
am
one
that
lyeth
at
the
Cape
of
good
Hope
,
though
a
long
time
under
hatches
(
in
the
Fleet.
)
Howsoever
,
though
all
the
winds
in
the
compass
shold
bluster
upon
me
;
nay
,
though
a
Haraucana
should
rage
,
I
am
arm'd
and
resolv'd
to
bear
the
brunt
,
to
welcome
the
Will
of
God
,
and
possesse
my
soul
with
patience
.
If
you
desire
a
further
intimation
of
things
,
I
refer
you
to
a
Discourse
of
mine
call'd
The
Tru
Informer

who
will
give
you
no
vulgar
satisfaction

H.
OF
The
LAND
of
IRE
:
OR
,
A
DISCOURS
OF
THAT
HORRID
INSURRECTION
AND
MASSACRES
Which
happen'd
lately
In
IRELAND
;
By
Mercurius
Hibernicus
:
Who
discovers
unto
the
World
the
Tru
Causers
and
Incendiaries
therof
.
In
Vindication
Of
His
Majesty
,
who
is
most
maliciously
Traduc'd
to
be
Accessary
therunto
;
Which
is
as
damnable
a
Lie
as
possibly
could
be
hatched
in
Hell
;
which
is
the
Staple
of
Lies
.
A
Lie
stands
upon
one
legg
,
—
Truth
upon
two
.
Mercurius
Hibernicus
,
His
Advertisement
to
the
well-temper'd
READER
.
THere
is
a
mongrell
race
of
Mercuries
lately
sprung
up
,
but
I
claim
no
acquaintance
with
them
,
much
less
any
Kindred
.
They
have
commonly
but
one
weeks
time
for
their
conception
and
birth
;
and
then
are
they
but
like
those
Ephemeran
creatures
,
which
Pliny
speaks
of
,
that
are
born
in
the
morning
,
grow
up
till
noon
,
and
perish
the
same
night
:
I
hope
to
be
longer
liv'd
then
so
,
because
I
was
longer
a
getting
,
ther
was
more
time
and
matter
went
to
my
Generation
.
Ther
is
a
Tale
how
the
tru
Mercury
indeed
,
descended
from
Heven
once
in
a
disguise
,
to
see
how
he
was
esteem'd
on
earth
;
and
entring
one
day
into
a
Painters-shop
,
he
found
ther
divers
Pictures
of
Apollo
,
Iupiter
,
Mars
,
with
others
;
and
spying
his
own
hanging
in
a
corner
hard-by
,
he
asked
what
the
price
of
that
Pourtrait
might
be
?
The
Painter
answered
,
that
if
he
bought
any
of
the
rest
,
he
wold
give
him
that
into
the
bargain
for
nothing
:
Mercury
hereupon
shaking
his
white
Caducean
,
flung
out
in
indignation
,
and
flew
up
to
Heven
.
Shold
Mercury
chance
to
descend
now
from
his
sphear
,
I
think
he
wold
be
much
more
offended
to
find
himself
personated
by
every
petty
impertinent
Pamphleter
;
yet
I
believe
he
would
not
think
it
ill
that
Aulicus
assumes
his
shape
,
nor
that
the
Harp
,
who
owes
her
first
invention
to
him
,
should
be
made
now
his
crest
.
To
my
honourable
Friend
Mr.
E.
P.
SIR
,
IF
You
please
to
cast
your
eyes
upon
the
following
Discours
,
I
believe
it
will
afford
you
som
satisfaction
,
and
enlighten
you
more
in
the
Irish
affaires
.
The
allegeance
I
owe
to
Truth
,
was
the
Midwife
that
brought
it
forth
,
and
I
make
bold
to
make
choice
of
you
for
my
Gossip
,
because
I
am
From
the
prison
of
the
Fleet
3.
Nonas
April
is
1643.
Your
true
servant
,
I.
H.
Mercurius
Hibernicus
.
THere
is
not
any
thing
since
these
ugly
warrs
begun
,
whereof
there
hath
been
more
advantage
made
to
traduce
and
blemish
His
Majesties
actions
,
or
to
alienate
and
imbitter
the
affections
of
his
people
towards
Him
,
to
incite
them
to
armes
,
and
enharden
them
in
the
quarrell
,
than
of
the
Irish
affaires
;
whether
one
cast
his
eyes
upon
the
beginning
and
proceedure
of
that
warre
(
which
some
by
a
most
monstrous
impudence
would
patronize
upon
their
Majesties
)
or
upon
the
late
Cessation
,
and
the
transport
of
Auxiliaries
since
from
thence
.
There
are
some
that
in
broken
peeces
have
written
of
all
three
:
but
not
in
one
entire
discourse
,
as
this
is
,
nor
hath
any
hitherto
hit
upon
those
reasons
and
inferences
that
shall
be
displayed
herein
.
But
he
who
adventures
to
judge
of
affaires
of
State
,
specially
of
traverses
of
warre
,
as
of
Pacifications
,
of
Truces
,
Suspensions
of
Armes
,
Parlies
,
and
such
like
,
must
well
observe
the
quality
of
the
times
,
the
successe
and
circumstance
of
matters
past
,
the
posture
and
pressure
of
things
present
(
and
upon
the
Place
)
the
inducement
or
enforcement
of
causes
,
the
gaining
of
time
,
the
necessity
of
preventing
greater
mischiefes
(
whereunto
true
policy
Prometheus
like
hath
alwaies
an
eye
)
with
other
advantages
.
The
late
Cessation
of
Armes
in
Ireland
was
an
affaire
of
this
nature
;
a
true
Act
of
State
,
and
of
as
high
a
consequence
as
could
be
:
Which
Cessation
is
now
become
the
Common
Subject
of
every
mans
discourse
,
or
rather
the
discourse
of
every
common
Subject
all
the
three
Kingdomes
over
:
And
not
onely
the
subject
of
their
discourse
,
but
of
their
censure
also
;
nor
of
their
censure
onely
,
but
of
their
reproach
and
obloquy
.
For
the
World
is
come
now
to
that
passe
,
that
the
Foot
must
judge
the
Head
,
the
very
Cobler
must
pry
into
the
Cabinet
Counsels
of
his
King
;
nay
the
Distaffe
is
ready
ever
and
anon
to
arraign
the
Scepter
;
Spinstresses
are
become
States-women
,
and
every
peasan
turned
politician
;
such
a
fond
irregular
humour
reignes
generally
of
late
yeers
amongst
the
English
Nation
.
Now
the
Designe
of
this
small
discourse
,
though
the
Subject
require
a
farre
greater
volume
,
is
,
to
vindicate
His
Majesties
most
pious
intentions
in
condescending
to
this
late
suspension
of
Arms
in
His
Kingdome
of
Ireland
,
and
to
make
it
appeare
to
any
rationall
ingenious
capacity
,
(
not
pre-occupied
or
purblinded
with
passion
)
that
there
was
more
of
honour
and
necessity
,
more
of
prudence
and
piety
in
the
said
Cessation
,
than
there
was
either
in
the
Pacification
or
Peace
that
was
made
with
the
Scot.
But
to
proceed
herein
the
more
methodically
,
I
will
lay
downe
,
first
,
The
reall
and
true
radicall
causes
of
the
late
two-yeers
Irish
Insurrection
.
Secondly
,
the
course
His
Majesty
used
to
suppresse
it
.
Lastly
,
those
indispensable
impulsive
reasons
and
invincible
necessity
which
enforced
His
Majesty
to
condescend
to
a
Cessation
.
Touching
the
grounds
of
the
said
Insurrection
,
we
may
remember
when
His
Majesty
out
of
a
pious
designe
(
as
His
late
Majesty
also
had
)
to
settle
an
Uniformitie
of
serving
God
in
all
his
three
Kingdomes
,
sent
our
Liturgie
to
his
Subjects
of
Scotland
;
some
of
that
Nation
made
such
an
advantage
hereof
,
that
though
it
was
a
thing
only
recommended
,
not
commanded
or
pressed
upon
them
,
and
so
cald
in
suddenly
againe
by
a
most
gracious
Proclamation
,
accompanied
with
a
generall
pardon
:
Yet
they
would
not
rest
there
,
but
they
would
take
the
opportunity
hereby
to
demolish
Bishops
,
and
the
whole
Hierarchy
of
the
Church
(
which
was
no
grievance
at
all
till
then
)
To
which
end
,
they
put
themselves
in
actuall
Armes
,
and
obtained
at
last
what
they
listed
;
which
they
had
not
dared
to
have
done
,
had
they
not
been
sure
to
have
as
good
friends
in
England
as
they
had
in
Scotland
(
as
Lesly
himself
confessed
to
Sir
William
Berkley
at
Newcastle
)
for
some
of
the
chiefest
Inconformists
here
,
had
not
onely
intelligence
with
them
,
but
had
been
of
their
Cabinet-counsels
in
moulding
the
Plot
:
though
some
would
cast
this
war
upon
the
French
Cardinall
,
to
vindicate
the
invasion
we
made
upon
his
Masters
dominions
in
the
Isle
of
Rets
;
as
also
for
some
advantage
the
English
use
to
do
the
Sp●…niard
in
transporting
his
Treasure
to
Dunkerk
,
with
other
offices
.
Others
wold
cast
it
upon
the
Iesuit
,
that
he
shold
project
it
first
,
to
●…orce
His
M●…jesty
to
have
recourse
to
his
Roman
Catholick
Subjects
for
aid
,
that
so
they
might
,
by
such
Supererogatory
service
ingratiate
themselves
the
more
into
his
favour
.
The
Irish
hearing
how
well
their
next
Neighbou●…s
had
sped
by
way
of
Arms
,
it
filled
them
full
of
thoughts
and
apprehensions
of
fear
and
jealousie
,
that
the
Scot
wold
prove
more
powerful
hereby
,
and
consequently
more
able
to
do
them
hurt
,
and
to
attemp●…
waies
to
restrain
them
of
that
connivency
,
which
they
were
allowed
in
point
of
Religion
:
Now
ther
is
no
Nation
upon
earth
that
the
Irish
hate
in
that
perfection
,
and
with
a
greater
Antipathy
,
than
the
Scot
,
or
from
whom
they
conceive
greater
danger
:
For
wheras
they
have
an
old
prophesie
amongst
them
,
which
one
shall
hear
up
and
down
in
every
mouth
,
That
the
day
will
come
when
the
Irish
shall
weep
upon
English
mens
graves
:
They
fear
that
this
prophesie
will
be
verified
and
fulfilled
in
the
Scot
above
any
other
Nation
.
Moreover
,
the
Irish
entred
into
consideration
,
that
They
also
had
sundry
grievances
and
grounds
of
complaint
,
both
touching
their
estates
and
consciences
,
which
they
pretended
to
be
far
greater
than
those
of
the
Scots
.
For
they
fell
to
think
,
that
if
the
Scot
was
suffered
to
introduce
a
new
Religion
,
it
was
reason
they
shold
not
be
so
pinched
in
the
exercise
of
their
old
,
which
they
glory
never
to
have
altered
.
And
for
temporall
matters
(
wherin
the
Scot
had
no
grievance
at
all
to
speak
of
)
the
new
plantations
which
had
bin
lately
afoot
,
to
be
made
in
Conaught
and
other
places
;
the
concealed
lands
and
defective
titles
which
were
daily
found
out
;
the
new
customs
which
were
imposed
,
and
the
incapacity
they
had
to
any
preferment
or
Office
in
Church
and
State
(
with
other
things
)
they
conceived
these
to
be
grievances
of
a
far
greater
nature
,
and
that
deserved
redresse
much
more
than
any
the
Scot
had
.
To
this
end
,
they
sent
over
Commissioners
to
attend
this
Parliament
in
England
,
with
certain
Propositions
,
but
those
Commissioners
were
dismissed
hence
with
a
short
and
unsavoury
answer
,
which
bred
worse
bloud
in
the
Nation
than
was
formerly
gathered
;
and
this
,
with
that
leading
case
of
the
Scot
,
may
be
said
to
be
the
first
incitements
that
made
them
rise
.
In
the
cou●…se
of
humane
actions
,
we
daily
find
it
to
be
a
tru
rule
,
Exempla
movent
,
Examples
move
,
and
make
strong
impressions
upon
the
fancy
;
precepts
are
not
so
powerful
as
precedents
.
The
said
example
of
Scotland
,
wrought
wonderfully
upon
the
imagination
of
the
Irish
,
and
filled
them
(
as
I
touched
before
)
with
thoughts
of
emulation
,
that
They
deserved
altogether
to
have
as
good
usage
as
the
Scot
,
their
Country
being
far
more
beneficial
,
and
consequenly
,
more
importing
the
English
Nation
.
But
these
were
but
confused
imperfect
notions
,
which
began
to
receive
more
vigour
and
form
after
the
death
of
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
who
kept
them
under
so
exact
an
obedience
,
though
som
censure
him
to
have
screwed
up
the
strings
of
the
Harp
too
high
;
insomuch
that
the
taking
off
of
the
Earl
of
Straffords
head
,
may
be
said
to
be
the
second
incitement
to
the
heads
of
that
insurrection
to
stir
.
Adde
hereunto
,
that
the
Irish
understanding
with
what
acrimony
the
Roman
Catholicks
in
England
were
proceeded
against
since
the
sitting
of
our
Parliament
,
and
what
further
designes
were
afoot
against
them
,
and
not
onely
against
them
,
but
for
ranversing
the
Protestant
Religion
it self
,
as
it
is
now
practised
(
which
som
shallow-braind
〈◊〉
do
throw
into
the
same
scales
with

.
)
They
thought
it
was
high
time
for
them
to
forecast
what
shold
become
of
Them
,
and
how
they
shold

point
of
conscience
,
when
a
new
Deputy
of
the
Parliaments
election
(
approbation
at
least
)
shold
come
over
.
Therfore
they
fell
to
consult
of
som
means
of
timely
prevention
:
And
this
was
another
mo●…ive
(
and
it
was
a

one
)
which

Lastly
,
that
Army

8000.
men
,
which
the
Earl
of
Strafford
had
raised
to
be
transported
to
England
for
suppressing
the
Scot
,
being
by
the
advice
of
our
Parliament
here
,
disbanded
;
the
Country
was
annoyed
by
som
〈◊〉
those
stragling
Souldiers
,
as
not
one
in
twenty
of
the
Irish
,
will
from
the
sword
to
the
spade
,
or
from
the
Pike
to
the
plough
again
.
Therfore
the
two
Marquesses
that
were
Ambassadors
here
then
for
Spaine
,
having
propounded
to
have
som
numbers
of
those
disbanded
forces
,
for
the
service
of
their
Master
;
His
Majesty
by
the
mature
advice
of
his
privy
Counsell
,
to
occur
the
mischiefs
that
might
arise
to
his
Kingdom
of
Ireland
by
those
loose
casheer'd
Souldiers
,
yielded
to
the
Ambassadors
motion
,
who
sent
notice
hereof
to
Spain
accordingly
,
and
so
provided
shipping
for
their
transport
,
and
impressed
money
to
advance
the
business
;
but
as
they
were
in
the
heat
of
that
〈◊〉
▪
His
Majesty
being
then
in
Scotland
▪
〈◊〉
w●…s
a
sudden
stop
made
of
those
promised
troops
,
who
had
depended
long
upon
the
Spaniards
service
,
as
the
Spaniard
〈◊〉
do●…e
on
theirs
.
And
this
was
the
last
,
though
no●…
the
least
fatal
cause
of
that
horrid
insurrection
:
All
which
particulars
well
considered
,
it
had
bin
no
hard
matter
to
have
bin
a
Prophet
,
and
standing
upon
the
top
of
Holy-Head
,
to
have
foreseen
those
black
clouds
engendering
in
the
Irish
aire
,
which
bro●…e
out
afterwards
into
such
fearful
tempests
of
bloud
.
Out
of
these
premises
,
it
is
easie
for
any
common
understanding
,
not
transported
with
passion
and
private
interest
,
to
draw
this
conclusion
.
That
They
who
complyed
with
the
Scot
in
his
insurrection
;
They
who
dismissed
the
Irish
Commissioners
with
such
a
short
unpolitick
answer
,
They
who
took
off
the
Earl
of
Straffords
head
,
and
delayed
afterwards
the
dispatching
of
the
Earl
of
Leicester
,
They
who
hindered
those
disbanded
troops
in
Ireland
to
go
for
Spain
,
may
be
justly
said
to
have
bin
the
tru
causes
of
the
late
insurrection
of
the
Irish
;
and
consequently
,
it
is
easie
to
know
upon
the
account
of
whose
souls
must
be
laid
the
bloud
of
those
hundred
and
odde
thousands
poor
Christians
,
who
perished
in
that
war
;
so
that
had
it
bin
possible
to
have
brought
over
their
bodies
unputrified
to
England
,
and
to
have
cast
them
at
the
doores
,
and
in
the
presence
of
som
men
I
believe
they
wold
have
gushed
out
afresh
into
bloud
,
for
discovery
of
the
tru
murtherers
.
The
grounds
of
this
insurrection
being
thus
discovered
,
let
us
examine
what
means
His
Majesty
used
for
the
suppression
of
it
.
He
made
his
addresses
presently
to
his
great
Counsel
,
the
English
Parliament
then
assembled
,
which
Queen
Elizabeth
and
her
progenitors
did
seldom
use
to
do
,
but
only
to
their
Privy
Counsel
in
such
cases
,
who
had
the
discussing
and
transacting
of
all
foreign
affaires
;
for
in
mannaging
matters
of
State
,
specially
those
of
war
,
which
must
be
carryed
with
all
the
secrecy
that
may
be
,
Trop
grand
nombre
,
est
encombre
,
as
the
Frenchman
saith
,
too
great
a
number
of
Counsellours
may
be
an
incumber
,
and
expose
their
results
and
resolutions
to
discovery
and
other
disadvantages
,
wheras
in
military
proceedings
the
work
shold
be
afoot
before
the
Counsels
be
blazed
abroad
.
Well
,
His
Majesty
transmitted
this
business
to
the
Parliament
of
England
,
who
totally
undertaking
it
,
and
wedding
as
it
were
the
quarlel
(
as
I
remember
they
did
that
of
the
Palatinate
a
little
before
by
solemn
vote
;
the
like
was
done
by
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
also
,
by
a
publick
joynt
Declaration
,
which
in
regard
ther
came
nothing
of
it
,
tended
little
to
the
honour
of
either
Nation
abroad
)
His
Majesty
gave
his
royal
assent
to
any
Propositions
or
acts
for
raising
of
men
,
money
and
arms
to
perform
the
work
.
But
hereby
no
man
is
so
simple
as
to
think
His
Majesty
shold
absolutely
give
over
his
own
personal
care
and
protection
of
that
his
Kingdom
,
it
being
a
Rule
,
That
a
King
can
no
more
desert
the
protection
of
his
own
people
,
then
they
their
subjection
to
him
.
In
all
his
Declarations
ther
was
nothing
that
he
endear'd
and
inculcated
more
often
,
and
with
greater
aggravation
and
earnestness
unto
them
,
then
the
care
of
his
poor
Subjects
their
fellow-Protestants
in
Ireland
:
Nay
,
he
resented
their
condition
so
far
,
and
took
the
business
so
to
heart
,
that
he
offered
to
passe
over
in
person
for
their
relief
:
And
who
can
deny
but
this
was
a
magnanimous
and
King-like
resolution
?
Which
the
Scots
by
publick
act
of
Counsel
,
did
highly
approve
of
,
and
declared
it
to
be
an
argument
of
care
and
courage
in
his
Majesty
.
And
questionless
it
had
done
infinite
good
in
the
opinion
of
them
that
have
felt
the
pulse
of
the
Irish
people
,
who
are
daily
ore-heard
to
groan
,
how
they
have
bin
any
time
these
400.
years
under
the
English
Crown
,
and
yet
never
saw
but
two
of
their
Kings
all
the
while
upon
Irish
ground
,
though
ther
be
but
a
salt
〈◊〉
of
a
few
hours
sail
to
pass
over
.
And
much
more
welcom
shold
His
Majesty
,
now
regnant
,
be
amongst
them
,
who
by
general
tradition
,
They
confess
and
hold
to
come
on
the
paternal
side
from
〈◊〉
(
by
legal
and
lineal
descent
)
who
was
an
Irish
Prince
,
and
after
King
of
Scotland
,
wheras
the
title
of
all
our
former
Kings
and
Queens
was
stumbled
at
alwaies
by
the
vulgar
.
His
Majesty
finding
that
this
royall
proffer
of
engaging
his
own
person
,
was
rejected
with
a
kind
of
scorn
,
coucht
in
smooth
language
,
though
the
main
businesse
concerned
himself
nearest
,
and
indeed
solely
himself
,
that
Kingdom
being
his
own
hereditary
Right
.
Understanding
also
,
what
base
sinister
use
ther
was
made
of
this
insurrection
by
som
trayterous
malevolent
persons
,
who
,
to
cast
aspersions
upon
His
Majesty
,
and
to
poyson
the
hearts
of
his
people
,
besides
publick
infamous
reports
,
counterfeited
certain
Commissions
in
His
Majesties
name
to
authorize
the
businesse
,
as
if
he
were
privy
to
it
,
though
I
dare
pawn
my
soul
His
(
or
Her
)
Majesty
knew
no
more
of
it
then
the
great
Mogor
did
.
Finding
also
that
the
Commissioners
imployed
hence
for
the
managing
and
composing
matters
in
that
Kingdom
,
though
nominated
by
the
Parliament
,
and
by
their
recommendation
authorized
by
His
Majesty
,
did
not
observe
their
instructions
,
and
yet
were
conniv'd
at
.
Understanding
also
,
what
an
inhumane
design
ther
was
between
them
and
the
Scot
,
in
lieu
of
suppressing
an
insurrection
to
eradicat
and
extinguish
a
whole
nation
to
make
booty
of
their
lands
(
which
hopes
the
London
Adventurers
did
hugge
,
and
began
to
divide
the
Bears-skin
before
he
was
taken
,
as
His
Majesty
told
them
▪
an
attempt
the
Spaniard
nor
any
other
Christian
State
ever
intended
against
the
worst
of
Savages
;
The
conceit
wherof
in●…used
such
a
desperate
courage
,
eagerness
and
valour
into
the
Irish
,
that
it
made
them
turn
necessity
into
a
kind
of
vertu
.
Moreover
,
His
Majesty
taking
notice
that
those
royal
Subsidies
,
with
other
vast
contributions
wherunto
he
had
given
way
,
with
the
sums
of
particular
Adventurers
(
amongst
whom
som
Aliens
(
Hollanders
)
were
taken
in
,
besides
the
Scot
to
share
the
Country
)
were
misapplyed
,
being
visibly
imployed
,
rather
to
feed
an
English
Rebellion
,
then
to
suppress
an
Irish
:
Nay
,
understanding
that
those
charitable
collections
which
were
made
for
the
reliefe
of
those
distressed
Protestants
,
who
being
stripped
of
all
their
livelihood
in
Ireland
,
were
forced
to
fly
over
to
England
,
were
converted
to
other
uses
,
and
the
Charity
not
dispensed
according
to
the
Givers
intention
.
Hearing
also
that
those
5000.
men
which
had
been
levyed
and
assigned
to
goe
under
the
Lord
Wharton
,
the
Lord
of
Kerry
,
Sir
Faithfull
Fortescue
and
others
were
diverted
from
going
to
the
west
of
Ireland
,
and
imployed
to
make
up
the
Earl
of
Essex
Army
:
And
having
notice
besides
that
the
Earl
of
Warwicke
had
stayd
certaine
ships
going
thither
with
supplies
,
and
that
there
was
an
attempt
to
send
for
over
to
England
some
of
those
Scottish
Forces
which
were
in
Ulster
,
without
his
privity
.
Lastly
,
His
Majesty
finding
himself
unfitted
,
and
indeed
disabled
to
reach
those
his
distressed
Subjects
,
his
owne
royal
armie
all
his
navall
strength
,
revenues
and
magazines
being
out
of
his
hands
;
and
having
as
hard
a
game
to
play
still
with
the
Scot
,
and
as
pernicious
a
fire
to
quench
in
England
,
as
any
of
his
Progenitors
ever
had
:
Receiving
intelligence
also
daily
from
his
Protestant
Nobility
and
Gentry
thence
,
in
what
a
desperate
case
the
whole
Kingdome
stood
,
together
with
the
report
of
the
Committee
that
attended
His
Majesty
from
them
expresly
for
that
service
,
who
amongst
other
deplorable
passages
in
their
petition
,
represented
,
That
all
means
by
which
comfort
and
life
should
be
conveyed
unto
that
gasping
Kingdome
,
seemed
to
be
totally
obstructed
,
and
that
unlesse
〈◊〉
reliefe
were
afforded
,
His
loyall
Subject●…
there
must
yeeld
their
fortunes
for
a
prey
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
for
a
sacrifice
,
and
their
Religion
for
a
〈◊〉
to
the
mercilesse
Rebels
.
His
Majesty
(
as
it
was
high
time
for
〈◊〉
)
taking
into
his
Princely
thoughts
those
wofull
complainrs
and
cryes
of
his
poore
Subjects
,
condescended
at
last
to
appoint
some
persons
of
honour
to
heare
what
the
Irish
could
say
for
themselves
,
as
they
had
often
petitioned
;
and
God
forbid
but
the
King
of
Ireland
should
receive
his
Subjects
petitions
,
as
well
as
the
King
of
Scotland
.
But
His
Majesty
being
unsatisfied
with
what
they
propounded
then
,
the
Lord
Marquess
of
Ormond
marched
with
considerable
Forces
against
them
,
and
though
he
came
off
with
honour
,
yet
no
reliefe
at
all
comming
thither
for
many
moneths
after
from
the
Parliament
here
,
who
had
undertaken
the
businesse
,
and
had
received
all
the
summes
and
subsidies
,
with
other
unknown
contributions
to
that
end
,
matters
grew
daily
worse
and
worse
.
To
sum
up
all
,
His
Majesty
receiving
express
and
positive
advice
from
his
Lord
Justices
and
Counsell
of
State
ther
,
that
the
whole
Kingdom
was
upon
point
of
utter
perdition
,
which
was
co-intimated
the
same
time
to
the
Parliament
here
,
by
a
special
letter
to
the
Speaker
;
I
say
His
Majesty
finding
that
he
had
neither
power
of
himself
,
it
being
transmitted
to
others
;
and
that
those
Trustees
did
misapply
that
power
and
trust
he
had
invested
in
them
(
for
the
time
)
to
make
good
their
undertaking
for
preservation
of
that
his
fruitfull
Kingdome
;
being
impelled
by
all
these
forcible
reasons
,
His
Majesty
sent
a
commission
to
the
Lord
Marquesse
of
Ormond
his
Lievtenant
Generall
(
a
most
known
sincere
Protestant
)
to
hearken
to
a
treaty
according
to
their
petition
;
and
if
any
thing
was
amisse
in
that
treaty
in
poynt
of
honour
(
as
it
shall
appeare
by
comparing
it
with
others
,
there
was
none
)
we
know
whom
to
thank
.
For
out
of
these
premises
also
,
doth
result
this
second
conclusion
,
That
they
who
misapplied
those
moneys
,
and
mis
imployed
those
men
which
were
levyed
with
His
Majesties
royall
assent
for
the
reduction
of
Ireland
:
They
who
set
afoot
that
most
sanguinary
design
of
extirpating
,
at
least
of
enslaving
a
whole
ancient
Nation
,
who
were
planted
there
by
the
hand
of
Providence
from
the
beginning
:
They
who
hindred
His
Majesties
transfretation
thither
to
take
cognizance
of
his
own
affairs
,
and
expose
the
countenance
of
his
own
royall
person
for
composing
of
things
:
They
,
They
may
be
said
to
be
the
true
causes
of
that
unavoydable
necessity
and
as
the
heathen
Poetsings
,
The
Gods
,
themselvs
cannot
resist
Necessity
)
which
enforced
His
Majesty
to
capitulat
with
the
Irish
,
and
assent
to
a
Cessation
.
It
was
the
saying
of
one
of
the
bravest
Roman
Emperours
,
and
it
was
often
used
by
Henry
the
Great
of
France
,
Her
Majesties
Father
,
That
he
had
rather
save
the
life
of
one
loyall
Subject
then
kill
a
hundred
Enemies
:
It
may
well
be
thought
that
one
of
the
prevalentst
inducements
that
moved
His
Majesty
(
besides
those
formerly
mentioned
)
to
condescend
to
this
Irish
Cessation
,
was
a
sense
he
had
of
the
effusion
of
his
own
poor
Subjects
blood
,
the
hazard
of
the
utter
extirpation
of
the
Protestants
there
,
and
a
totall
irrecoverable
losse
of
that
Kingdome
,
as
was
advertised
both
in
the
petition
of
the
Protestants
themselves
,
the
relation
of
the
Committee
imployd
thither
to
that
purpose
,
and
the
expresse
letters
of
the
Lords
Justices
and
Counsell
there
.
To
prove
now
,
that
this
Cessation
of
arms
in
Ireland
was
more
honourable
and
fuller
of
Piety
,
Prudence
and
Necessity
,
then
either
the
Pacification
or
Peace
with
the
Scot.
I
hope
,
these
few
ensuing
arguments
(
above
divers
others
which
cannot
be
inserted
here
,
in
regard
of
the
force
intended
brevity
of
this
Discourse
)
will
serve
the
turne
.
1.
In
primis
,
When
the
Pacification
was
made
with
Scotland
His
Majesty
was
there
personally
present
,
attended
on
by
the
floure
of
His
English
Nobility
,
Gentry
and
Servants
,
and
the
enemy
was
hard
by
ready
to
face
Him.
At
the
concluding
of
the
Irish
Cessation
,
His
Majesty
was
not
there
personally
present
,
but
it
was
agitated
and
agreed
on
by
his
Commissioner
,
and
it
hath
been
held
alwaies
less
dishonourable
for
a
King
to
capitulate
in
this
kind
with
his
own
Subjects
by
his
Deputy
,
then
in
his
own
person
,
for
the
further
off
he
is
,
the
lesse
reflects
upon
him
.
2.
Upon
the
Pacification
and
Peace
with
Scotland
,
there
was
an
Amnestia
,
a
generall
pardon
,
and
an
abolition
of
all
by-passed
offences
published
,
there
were
honours
and
offices
conferred
upon
the
chiefest
sticklers
in
the
War.
At
the
Cessation
in
Ireland
there
was
no
such
thing
.
3.
When
the
Pacification
and
Peace
was
made
with
the
Scots
,
there
was
mony
given
unto
Them
,
as
it
is
too
well
knowne
.
But
upon
the
setling
of
this
Cessation
,
the
Irish
received
none
but
gave
His
Majesty
a
considerable
summe
as
an
argument
of
their
submission
and
gratitude
,
besides
the
maintainance
of
some
of
his
Garrisons
in
the
interim
;
and
so
much
partly
in
point
of
honour
.
4.
At
the
concluding
of
the
Pacification
and
Peace
with
Scotland
,
there
was
a
vigorous
,
fresh
,
unfoiled
English
Army
a
foot
,
and
in
perfect
equipage
;
there
wanted
neither
Ammunition
,
Armes
,
Money
,
Cloaths
,
Victuals
or
any
thing
that
might
put
heart
into
the
Souldier
and
elevat
his
spirits
.
But
the
Protestant
Army
in
Ireland
had
not
any
of
all
these
in
any
competent
proportion
,
but
were
ready
to
perish
,
though
there
had
been
no
other
enemy
then
hunger
and
cold
:
And
this
implies
a
farre
greater
necessity
for
the
said
Cessation
.
5.
In
Ireland
there
was
imminent
danger
of
an
instant
losse
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
and
consequently
,
the
utter
subversion
of
the
Protestant
Religion
there
,
as
was
certified
both
to
King
and
Parliament
by
sundry
letters
and
petitions
which
stand
upon
record
:
There
was
no
such
danger
in
the
affairs
of
Scotland
,
either
in
respect
of
Religion
or
Kingdome
;
therefore
there
was
more
piety
shown
in
preserving
the
one
,
and
prudence
in
preserving
the
other
in
Ireland
,
by
plucking
both
(
as
it
were
)
out
of
the
very
jawes
of
destruction
by
the
said
Cessation
.
We
know
that
in
the
Medley
of
mundane
casualties
,
of
two
evils
,
the
least
is
to
be
chosen
,
and
a
small
inconvenience
is
to
be
born
withall
,
to
prevent
a
greater
.
If
one
make
research
into
the
French
Story
,
he
will
find
,
that
many
kinds
of
Pacifications
and
Suspensions
of
Armes
were
covenanted
'twixt
that
King
and
som
of
his
Subjects
,
trenching
far
more
upon
regall
dignity
then
this
in
Ireland
.
The
Spaniard
was
forced
to
declare
the
Hollanders
Free-states
,
before
they
could
be
brought
to
treat
of
a
truce
:
And
now
the
Catalans
scrue
him
up
almost
to
as
high
conditions
.
But
what
need
I
rove
abroad
so
far
?
It
is
well
known
,
nor
is
it
out
of
the
memory
of
man
(
in
Queen
Elizabeths
raign
)
that
in
Ireland
it self
ther
have
bin
Cessations
,
all
circumstances
well
weighed
,
more
prejudiciall
to
Majesty
then
this
.
But
that
which
I
hear
murmured
at
most
as
the
effect
of
this
Cessation
,
is
the
transport
of
som
of
those
Souldiers
to
England
for
recruting
His
Majesties
Armies
,
notwithstanding
that
the
greatest
number
of
them
be
perfect
and
rigid
Protestants
,
and
were
those
whom
our
Parliament
it self
imployed
against
the
Irish.
But
put
case
they
were
all
Papists
,
must
His
Majesty
therfore
be
held
a
Favourer
of
Popery
?
The
late
King
of
France
might
have
bin
said
as
well
to
have
bin
a
Favourer
of
Hugonotts
,
because
in
all
his
wars
he
imployed
Them
most
of
any
in
places
of
greatest
trust
against
the
House
of
Austria
;
wheras
all
the
World
knows
,
that
he
perfectly
hated
them
in
the
generall
,
and
one
of
the
reaches
of
policy
he
had
,
was
to
spend
and
waste
them
in
the
wars
.
Was
it
ever
known
but
a
Soveraign
Prince
might
use
the
bodies
and
strength
of
his
own
naturall-born
Subjects
,
and
Liege
men
for
his
own
defence
?
When
His
person
hath
been
sought
and
aimed
at
in
open
field
by
small
and
great
shot
,
and
all
other
Engines
of
hostility
and
violence
:
When
he
is
in
danger
to
be
surprized
or
besieg'd
in
that
place
wher
he
keeps
his
Court
:
When
all
the
flowers
of
his
Crown
his
royal
prerogatives
which
are
descended
upon
him
from
so
many
successive
progenitors
)
are
like
to
be
plucked
off
and
trampled
under
foot
:
When
ther
is
a
visible
plot
to
alter
and
overturn
that
Religion
he
was
born
,
baptized
,
and
bred
in
:
When
he
is
in
dan●…er
to
be
forced
to
infringe
that
solemn
Sacramental
Oath
he
took
at
his
Coronation
to
maintain
the
said
Religion
,
with
the
Rights
and
Rites
of
the
holy
Anglican
Church
,
which
som
brain-sick
Schismaticks
wold
transform
to
a
Kirk
and
her
Discipline
,
to
som
chimerical
form
of
government
they
know
not
what
.
Francis
the
first
and
other
Christian
Princes
,
made
use
of
the
Turk
upon
lesse
occasions
;
and
if
one
may
make
use
of
a
Horse
,
or
any
other
bruit
animal
,
or
any
inanimat
Engine
or
Instrument
for
his
own
defence
against
man
,
much
more
may
man
be
used
against
man
,
much
more
may
one
rational
Creature
be
used
against
another
though
for
destructive
ends
in
a
good
cause
,
specially
when
they
are
commanded
by
a
Soveraign
head
,
which
is
the
main
thing
that
goes
to
justifie
a
war.
Now
touching
the
Roman
Catholicks
,
whether
English
,
Welsh
,
Irish
,
or
Scottish
,
which
repaire
to
his
Majesties
Armies
either
for
service
or
security
.
He
looks
not
upon
them
●…s
Papists
,
but
as
his
Subjects
,
not
upon
their
Religion
,
but
their
allegiance
,
and
in
that
●…uality
he
entertains
them
:
Nor
can
the
Pa●…ist
be
denyed
the
Character
of
a
good
Subject
,
all
the
while
he
conforms
himself
to
the
Lawes
in
generall
,
and
to
those
lawes
also
that
are
particularly
enacted
against
him
,
and
so
keeps
himself
within
the
bounds
of
his
civil
obedience
:
As
long
as
he
continues
so
,
he
may
challenge
protection
from
his
Prince
by
way
of
right
,
and
if
his
Prince
by
som
accident
be
not
in
case
to
protect
him
,
he
is
to
give
him
leave
to
defend
himself
the
best
he
can
,
for
the
law
of
nature
allowes
every
one
to
defend
himself
,
and
ther
is
no
positive
law
of
man
can
annul
the
law
of
nature
.
Now
if
the
Subject
may
thus
claim
protection
from
his
Prince
,
it
followeth
,
the
Prince
by
way
of
reciprocation
may
require
assistance
,
service
and
supplies
from
the
Subject
upon
all
publick
occasions
,
as
to
suppress
at
this
time
a
new
race
of
Recusants
,
which
have
done
more
hurt
then
ever
the
old
did
,
and
are
like
to
prove
more
dangerous
to
his
Crown
and
regal
Authority
then
any
foreign
enemy
.
But
whosoever
will
truly
observe
the
genius
,
and
trace
the
actions
of
this
fatal
Faction
which
now
swayes
with
that
boundless
,
exorbitant
,
arbitrary
and
Antinomian
power
,
will
find
,
that
it
is
one
of
their
prime
pieces
of
policy
,
to
traduce
and
falsifie
any
thing
that
is
not
conducible
to
their
own
ends
:
Yet
what
comes
from
them
must
be
so
magisterial
,
it
must
be
so
unquestionably
and
incontroulably
tru
&
lawful
,
that
it
must
be
believed
by
an
implicite
faith
,
as
proceeding
from
an
in-erring
Oracle
(
as
if
these
Zealots
were
above
the
common
condition
of
mankind
,
to
whom
errour
is
as
hereditary
as
any
other
infirmity
)
though
the
thing
it self
encroach
never
so
grosly
both
upon
the
common
liberty
,
the
states
and
souls
of
men
.
But
if
any
thing
bear
the
stamp
of
royal
Authority
,
be
it
never
so
just
and
tending
to
peace
and
the
publick
good
,
yea
,
though
it
be
indifferent
to
either
side
,
it
is
presently
countermanded
,
cryed
down
,
and
stifled
;
or
it
is
calumniated
and
aspersed
with
obloquies
,
false
glosses
and
misprisions
;
and
this
is
become
now
the
common
Theam
wherwith
their
Pulpits
ring
Which
makes
me
think
,
that
these
upstart
politicians
have
not
long
to
reign
;
for
,
as
the
common
Proverb
saith
,
Fraud
and
Frost
end
foul
and
are
short-lived
,
so
that
policy
,
those
Counsels
which
are
grounded
upon
scandals
,
reproaches
and
lies
,
will
quickly
moulder
and
totter
away
,
and
bring
their
Authors
at
last
to
deserved
infamy
and
shame
,
and
make
them
find
a
Tomb
in
their
own
ruines
.
Adde
hereunto
as
further
badges
of
their
nature
,
that
black
irreconcilable
malice
and
desire
of
revenge
which
rageth
in
them
,
the
aversness
they
have
to
any
sweetness
of
Conformity
and
Union
,
the
violent
thirst
they
have
of
bloud
,
which
makes
me
think
on
that
dis●…ique
of
Prudentius
,
who
seemed
to
be
a
Prophet
as
well
as
Poet
(
a
tru
Vates

in
displaying
the
humors
of
these
fiery
Dogmatists
,
this
all-confounding
faction
which
now

Is
confefs'd
that
the

Discours
were
more
proper
to
One
of
the
long-Robe
,
which
I
am
not
,
I
am
no
Lawyer
otherwise
then
what
nature
hath
made
me
,
so
every
man
,
as
he
is
born
the
child
of
Reason
,
is
a
Lawyer
,

a
Logitian
also
who
was
the

of

This
discoursive

the

wold
not

GOVERNMENT
is
an
Ordinance
of
God
for
Mans
good
;
the
kinds
of
Government
are
ordinances
of
men
for
Gods
Glory
:
Now
,
among
all
Wo●…ldly
affairs
there
is
not
any
thing
so
difficult
,
and
fuller
of
incertitudes
as
the
Art
of
Ruling
man
,
For
those
nimble
spirits
(
as
it
is
spoken
elswhere
)
who
from
Apprentices
have
been
made
Freemen
of
the
Trade
,
and
at
last
thought
themselves
Masters
,
having
spent
their
Youth
,
their
Manhood
,
and
a
long
time
of
old
age
therein
,
yet
when
they
came
to
leave
the
World
they
professed
themselves
still
to
be
but
Novices
in
the
Trade
.
There
is
a
known
way
to
break
,
guide
,
and
keep
in
awe
all
other
Animals
,
though
never
so
savage
and
strong
;
but
there
is
no
such
certaine
way
to
govern
multitudes
of
men
,
in
regard
of
such
turbulences
of
spirit
and
diversity
of
opinions
that
proceed
from
the
Rational
Faculty
,
which
other
cretures
that
are
contented
only
with
sense
,
are
not
subject
unto
;
and
this
the
Philosopher
holds
to
be
one
of
the
inconveniences
that
attend
humane
reason
,
and
why
it
is
given
man
as
a
part
of
his
punishment
.
Now
,
why
the
Government
over
men
is
●…o
difficult
,
there
may
be
two
main
reasons
alledg'd
,
The
first
is
the
various
events
,
and
World
of
inexpected
contingencies
that
attend
humane
negotiations
,
specially
matters
of
State
,
which
,
as
all
other
sublunary
things
,
are
subject
to
alterations
,
miscarriages
,
and
change
,
this
makes
the
mindes
of
men
▪
and
consequently
the
moulds
of
policy
so
often
to
alter
,
scarce
one
amongst
twenty
is
the
same
man
as
he
was
twenty
yeares
ago
in
point
of
judgement
,
which
turns
and
changeth
according
to
the
successe
and
circumstances
of
things
,
The
wisedome
of
one
day
is
the
foolishnesse
of
another
,
Posterior
Dies
est
prioris
Magister
,
the
Day
following
becomes
the
former
dayes
Teacher
.
The
Second
Reason
is
,
the
discrepant
,
and
wavering
fancies
of
mens
braines
,
specially
of
the
common
peeple
,
who
(
if
not
restrained
)
are
subject
to
so
many
crotchets
and
chymeras
,
with
extravagant
wanton
desires
,
and
gaping
after
innovations
.
Insulary
peeple
are
observed
to
be
more
transported
with
this
instability
then
those
of
the
Continent
,
and
the
Inhabitants
of
this
I
le
more
then
others
,
being
a
well-fed
spriteful
peeple
;
In
so
much
,
that
it
is
grown
a
Proverb
abroad
,
that
The
Englishman
doth
not
know
when
he
is
well
:
Now
the
true
Polititian
doth
use
to
fit
his
Government
to
the
fancy
of
the
peeple
,
the
ruler
must
do
as
the
rider
,
some
peeple
are
to
be
rid
with
strong
bitts
and
curbs
,
and
martingalls
,
as
the
Napollitan
,
and
French
our
next
neighbour
,
which
is
the
cause
that
a
kind
of
slavery
is
entail'd
upon
him
,
for
the
French
Peasant
is
born
with
chains
;
Other
Nations
may
be
rid
with
a
gentle
small
bridle
,
as
the
Venetian
and
the
Hollander
,
who
hath
not
such
boiling
spirits
as
others
;
A
bridle
doth
serve
also
the
Spaniard
,
who
is
the
gretest
example
of
stability
,
and
exact
obedience
to
authority
,
of
any
peeple
;
for
though
Spain
be
the
hottest
Countrey
in
Christendom
,
yet
it
is
not
so
subject
to
Feavers
as
others
are
,
I
mean
to
fits
of
intestin
commotions
:
And
this
was
never
so
much
tryed
as
of
late
yeers
;
for
though
the
present
King
hath
such
known
frail●…ies
,
though
he
hath
bin
so
infortunat
,
as
to
have
many
Countreys
quite
revolted
,
and
rent
away
from
him
;
though
the
ragingst
Plague
that
ever
was
in
Spain
under
any
King
,
happen'd
of
late
yeers
,
which
sweep'd
away
such
a
world
of
peeple
;
though
his
Taxes
be
higher
then
ever
were
any
,
though
he
hath
call'd
in
and
engrossed
all
the
common
coyn
of
the
Countrey
,
and
delivered
but
the
one
halfe
back
again
,
reserving
the
other
half
for
Himself
;
though
there
's
no
legall
Instrument
,
no
Bond
,
Bill
,
or
Specialty
can
be
writ
but
upon
his
seal'd
paper
,
with
sundry
other
exactions
,
yet
his
subjects
are
still
as
obedient
,
and
awful
unto
him
,
they
are
as
conformable
and
quiet
,
as
if
he
were
the
most
vertuous
,
and
victorious
Prince
that
ever
was
;
and
this
they
do
principally
for
their
own
advantage
,
for
if
ther
were
another
Governour
set
up
,
it
would
inevitably
hurle
the
whole
Countrey
into
combustion
and
tumults
;
besides
,
they
are
taught
,
that
as
in
choice
of
Wives
,
so
the
Rule
holds
in
Governments
,
Seldome
comes
a
better
.
Touching
the
Originals
of
Government
and
ruling
power
,
questionless
the
first
among
Mankind
was
that
Naturall
power
of
the
Father
over
his
Children
,
and
that
Despotical
domestique
surintendence
of
a
Master
of
a
house
over
his
Family
;
But
the
World
multiplying
to
such
a
Masse
of
peeple
,
they
found
that
a
confused
equality
,
and
a
loose
unbridled
way
of
living
like
●…rute
animals
to
be
so
inconvenient
,
that
they
chose
one
person
to
protect
and
govern
;
not
so
much
out
of
love
to
the
●…erson
,
as
for
their
own
conveniency
and
advantage
,
that
they
might
live
more
regularly
,
and
be
secur'd
from
rapine
,
and
op●…ression
;
As
also
that
justice
might
be
administted
;
and
every
one
enjoy
his
own
without
fear
,
and
danger
:
such
Govern●…urs
had
a
power
invested
accordingly
in
●…hem
,
also
as
to
appoint
subservient
,
able
Mi●…isters
under
them
to
help
to
bear
the
●…urden
.
Concerning
the
kinds
of
Government
,
●…ll
Polititians
agree
that
Monarchall
is
the
best
and
noblest
sort
of
sway
,
having
the
neerest
analogy
with
that
of
Heaven
,
viz.
A
supreme
power
in
one
single
person
;
God
Almighty
is
the
God
of
Unity
,
as
well
as
of
Entity
,
and
all
things
that
have
an
Entity
do
naturally
propend
to
Unity
;
Unity
is
as
necessary
for
a
well
-
being
,
as
Entity
is
for
a
Being
,
for
nothing
conduceth
more
to
order
,
tranquillity
,
and
quietude
,
nor
is
any
strength
so
operative
as
the
united
;
The
fist
is
stronger
then
the
hand
,
though
it
be
nothing
but
the
hand
,
viz.
The
fingers
united
by
contraction
;
The
Republick
of
Venice
which
is
accounted
the
most
Eagle-ey'd
and
lastingst
State
in

World
,
fo●…
she
hath
continued
a
pure
Virgin
,
and
shin'd
within
her
watry
Orb
nere
upon
thirteen
Ages
,
is
the
fittest
to
give
the
World
advice
herein
,
for
if
ever
any
have
brought
policy
to
be
a
Science
which
consists
of
certitudes
,
this
State
is
Shee
,
who
is
grown
a●…
dexterous
in
ruling
men
as
in
rowing
of
〈◊〉
Gally
.
But
whereas
the
vulgar
opinion
is
that
the
common
peeple
there
have
a
shar●…
in
the
Government
,
't
is
nothing
so
,
for
he
Great
Counsel
which
is
the
maine
hing
whereon
the
Republick
turns
,
is
compose●…
onely
of
Gentlemen
who
are
capable
b●…
their
birth
to
sit
there
,
having
passed
twenty
five
years
of
age
;
To
which
purpose
they
must
bring
a
publick
Testimonial
that
they
are
descended
of
a
Patrician
or
noble
Family
.
But
to
return
to
the
main
matter
,
this
sage
Republick
who
may
prescribe
rules
of
Policy
to
all
Mankind
,
having
tryed
at
first
to
Govern
by
Consuls
and
Tribunes
for
som
years
,
she
found
it
at
last
a
great
inconvenience
,
or
deformity
rather
,
to
have
two
heads
upon
one
body
;
Therefore
She
did
set
up
one
Soveraign
Prince
;
and
in
the
Records
of
Venice
the
resons
are
yet
extant
which
induc'd
her
thereunto
,
whereof
one
of
the
remarkablest
was
this
;
We
have
observed
that
in
this
vast
University
of
the
World
all
Bodies
according
to
their
several
Natures
have
multiplicity
of
Motions
,
yet
they
receive
vertue
and
vigour
but
from
one
,
which
is
the
Sun
;
All
causes
derive
their
Originals
from
one
supreme
cause
;
we
see
that
in
one
Creture
there
are
many
differing
Members
,
and
Faculties
which
have
various
functions
,
yet
they
are
all
guided
by
one
soul
,
&c.
The
Island
of
Great
Britain
hath
bin
alwaies
a
Royal
Isle
from
her
first
creation
,
and
Infancy
;
She
may
be
said
to
have
worn
a
Crown
in
her
Cradle
;
and
though
She
had
so
many
revolutions
,
and
changes
of
Masters
,
yet
She
continued
still
Royal
;
nor
is
there
any
species
of
Government
that
suits
better
,
either
with
the
quality
of
the
Countrey
,
and
Genius
of
the
Inhabitants
,
or
relates
more
directly
to
all
the
ancient
Lawes
,
Constitutions
,
and
Customs
of
the
Land
,
then
Monarchal
;
which
any
one
that
is
conversant
in
the
Old
Records
can
justifie
;
Britannia
ab
initio
mundi
semper
Regia
,
&

illius
simile

Concerning
the
many
sorts
of
Trust●…
which
were
put
in
the
Supreme
Governor
of
this
Land
(
for
ther
must
be
an
implicite
and
unavoidable
necessary
Trust
reposed
in
every
Soveraign
Magistrate
)
the
power
of
the
Sword
was
the
chiefest
;
and
it
was
agreeable
to
Holy
Scripture
he
shold
have
it
,
where
we
know
't
is
said
,
The
King
beareth
not
the
Sword
in
vain
;
The
Lawes
of
England
did
ever
allow
it
to
be
the
inalienable
prerogative
of
the
Soveraign
Prince
,
nor
was
it
ever
known
(
humbly
under
favour
)
that
any
other
power
whatsoever
managing
conjunctly
or
singly
,
did
ever
pretend
to
the
power
of
the
publick
Sword
,
or
have
the
Militia
invested
in
them
,
but
this
ever
remained
intire
and
untransferrible
in
the
person
of
the
Ruler
in
chief
,
whose
chiefest
instrument
to
govern
by
is
the
Sword
,
without
which
Crownes
,
Scepters
,
Globes
and
Maces
are
but
bables
.
It
is
that
Instrument
which
causeth
tru
obedience
,
makes
him
a
Dread
Soveraign
,
and
to
be
feared
at
home
and
abroad
;
Now
't
is
a
Maxime
in
policy
,
that
ther
can
be
no
tru
obedience
without
Fear
;
The
Crown
and
Scepter
draw
only
a
loose
kind
of
voluntary
love
,
and
opinion
from
the
people
,
but
't
is
the
sword
that
draws
Reverence
and
awe
,
which
two
are
the
chiefest
ingredients
of
Allegeance
,
it
being
a
principle
,
that
the
best
Government
is
made
of
Fear
and
Love
,
viz.
when
by
Fear
Love
is
drawn
as
threed
through
the
eye
of
a
Needle
;
The
surest
Obedience
,
and
Loyalty
is
caused
thus
,
for
Fear
being
the
wakefullest
of
our
passions
works
more
powerfully
in
us
and
predominates
over
all
the
rest
;
primus
in
orbe
Deus
fecit
Timor
.
To
raise
up
a
Soveraign
Magistrate
without
giving
him
the
power
of
the
sword
,
is
to
set
one
up
to
rule
a
metall'd
Horse
without
a
Bridle
;
A
chief
Ruler
without
a
Sword
,
may
be
said
to
be
like
that
Logg
of
Wood
which
Iupiter
threw
down
among
the
Froggs
to
be
their
King
,
as
it
is
in
the
Fable
.
Moreover
,
One
of
the
chiefest
glories
of
a
Nation
is
to
have
their
Supreme
Governor
to
be
esteem'd
,
and
redouted
abroad
as
well
as
at
Home
.
And
what
Forren
Nation
will
do
either
of
these
to
the
King
of
England
if
he
be
Armless
,
and
without
a
Sword
?
who
will
give
any
respect
o●…
precedence
to
his
Ambassadors
,
and
Ministers
of
State
?
The
Sword
also
is
the
prime
Instrument
of
publick
protection
,
therefore
that
King
who
hath
not
the
power
of
the
Sword
,
must
have
another
Title
given
Him
,
the
Protector
of
his
peeple
.
Now
,
in
a
Successive
hereditary
Kingdom
,
as
England
is
known
,
and
acknowledged
to
be
by
all
Parties
now
in
opposition
,
There
are
three
things
which
are
inalienable
from
the
Person
of
the
King
:
They
are
,
1.
The
Crowne
.
2.
The
Scepter
.
3.
The
Sword.
The
one
,
He
is
to
carry
on
His
Head
,
the
other
in
His
Hand
,
and
the
third
at
His
Side
;
and
they
may
be
termed
all
three
the
ensignes
or
peculiar
instruments
of
a
King
:
by
the
first
,
He
Reignes
,
by
the
second
He
makes
Lawes
,
by
the
third
He
Defends
them
:
and
the
two
first
are
but
bables
without
the
last
,
as
was
formerly
spoken
.
1.
Touching
the
Crown
or
royal
Diadem
of
England
,
ther
is
none
,
whether
Presbyterian
,
Independent
,
Protestant
,
or
others
now
in
action
,
but
confess
that
it
descends
by
a
right
hereditary
Line
,
(
though
through
divers
Races
,
and
som
of
them
Conquerours
)
upon
the
Head
of
Charles
the
first
now
Regnant
:
't
is
His
own
by
inherent
birth-right
and
nature
,
by
Gods
Law
,
and
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
and
these
Parliament-men
at
their
first
sitting
did
agnize
subjection
unto
Him
accordingly
,
and
recognize
Him
for
their
Soveraign
Liege
Lord
:
Nay
,
the
Roman
Catholick
denies
not
this
,
for
though
there
were
Bulls
sent
to
dispense
with
the
English
Subjects
for
their
allegiance
to
Queen
Elizabeth
,
yet
the
Pope
did
this
against
Her
as
he
took
Her
for
a
Heretick
,
not
an
Usurpresse
,
though
he
knew
well
enough
that
She
had
bin
declared
Illegitimate
by
the
Act
of
an
English
Parliament
.
This
Imperial
Crown
of
England
is
adorned
and
deckd
with
many
fair
Flowers
,
which
are
called
,
royal
Prerogatives
;
and
they
are
of
such
a
transcendent
nature
,
that
they
are
unforfeitable
,
individual
,
and
untransferrable
to
any
other
:
The
King
can
only
summon
and
dissolve
Parliaments
:
The
King
can
only
Pardon
(
for
when
He
is
Crowned
,
He
is
sworn
to
rule
in
Mercy
as
well
as
in
Justice
:
)
The
King
can
only
Coyn
Money
,
and
enhance
or
decry
the
value
of
it
:
The
power
of
electing
Officers
of
State
,
of
Justices
of
Peace
and
Assize
is
in
the
King
;
He
can
only
grant
soveraign
Commissions
:
The
King
can
only
wage
War
,
and
make
Out-landish
Leagues
:
The
King
may
make
all
the
Courts
of
Justice
ambulatory
with
His
Person
,
as
they
were
used
of
old
▪
't
is
tru
,
the
Court
of
Common
Pleas
must
be
sedentary
in
som
certain
place
for
such
a
time
;
but
that
expired
,
't
is
removeable
at
His
pleasure
:
The
King
can
only
employ
Ambassadours
and
Treat
with
forraign
States
,
&c.
These
,
with
other
royal
Prerogatives
which
I
shall
touch
hereafter
,
are
those
rare
and
wholsom
flowers
wherewith
the
Crown
of
England
is
embellished
,
nor
can
they
stick
any
where
else
but
in
the
Crown
,
and
all
confess
the
Crown
is
as
much
the
King
's
,
as
any
private
man's
Cap
is
his
own
.
2.
The
second
regall
Instrument
is
the
Scepter
,
which
may
be
called
an
inseparable
companion
,
or
a
necessary
appendix
to
the
Crown
;
this
invests
the
King
with
the
sole
Authority
of
making
Lawes
,
for
before
His
confirmation
all
results
and
determinations
of
Parliament
are
but
Bills
or
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
they
are
but
abortive
things
,
and
meer
Embryos
;
nay
,
they
have
no
life
at
all
in
them
till
the
King
puts
breath
and
vigour
into
them
:
and
the
ancient
custome
was
for
the
King
to
touch
them
with
His
Scepter
,
then
they
are
Lawes
,
and
have
a
vertue
in
them
to
impose
an
obligation
of
universall
obedience
upon
all
sorts
of
people
,
It
being
an
undeniable
maxime
,
That
nothing
can
be
generally
binding
without
the
King
's
royall
assent
,
nor
doth
the
Law
of
England
take
notice
of
any
thing
without
it
:
This
being
done
they
are
ever
after
styl'd
the
Kings
Lawes
,
and
the
Judges
are
said
to
deliver
the
King's
judgments
,
which
agrees
with
the
holy
text
,
The
King
by
judgment
shall
stablish
the
Land
:
nay
,
the
Law
presumes
the
King
to
be
alwaies
the
sole
Judge
Paramount
,
and
Lord
chief
Justice
of
England
,
for
he
whom
He
pleaseth
to
depute
for
His
chiefest
Justice
,
is
but
styl'd
Lord
chief
Iustice
of
the
Rings
●…ench
,
not
Lord
chief
Justice
of
England
,
which
title
is
peculiar
to
the
King
Himself
,
and
observable
it
is
,
that
whereas
He
grants
Commissions
and
Patents
to
the
Lord
Chancellour
(
who
is
no
other
then
Keeper
of
His
Conscience
)
and
to
all
other
Judges
,
He
names
the
Chief
Justice
of
his
own
Bench
by
a
short
Writ
only
containing
two
or
three
lines
:
which
run
thus
,
Regina
Iohanni
Popham
militi
salutem
,
Sciatis
quod
constitutmus
vos
justiciarium
nostrum
Capitalem
ad
placita
coram
nobis
terminandum
durante
beneplacito
nostro
;
Teste
&c.
Now
,
though
the
King
be
liable
to
the
Laws
,
and
is
contented
to
be
within
their
verge
,
because
they
are
chiefly
His
own
productions
,
yet
He
is
still
their
Protector
,
Moderator
,
and
Soveraigne
,
which
attributes
are
incommunicable
to
any
other
conjunctly
or
separately
.
Thus
the
King
with
His
Scepter
,
and
by
the
mature
advice
of
His
two
Houses
of
Parl.
which
are
His
highest
Councel
and
Court
,
hath
the
sole
power
of
making
Laws
;
other
Courts
of
judicature
doe
but
expound
them
and
distribute
them
by
His
appointment
,
they
have
but
Iuris
dati
dictionem
or
declarationem
,
and
herein
,
I
meane
for
the
Exposition
of
the
Lawes
the
twelve
Iudges
are
to
be
believed
before
the
whole
Kingdom
besides
.
They
are
as
the
Areopagites
in
Athens
,
the
chief
Presidents
in
France
and
Spaine
in
an
extraordinary
Iunta
,
as
the
Cape-Syndiques
in
the
Rota's
of
Rome
,
and
the
Republique
of
Venice
,
whose
judgments
in
point
of
interpreting
Lawes
are
incontroulable
,
and
preferred
before
the
opinion
of
the
whole
Senate
whence
they
received
their
being
;
and
who
hath
still
power
to
repeal
them
,
though
not
to
expound
them
.
In
France
they
have
a
Law
maxime
,
Arrest
donné
en
Rebbe
rouge
est
irrevocable
,
which
is
,
a
Scarlet
Sentence
is
irrevocable
,
meaning
when
all
the
Judges
are
met
in
their
Robes
,
and
the
Client
against
whom
the
Cause
goes
,
may
chafe
and
chomp
upon
the
bit
,
and
say
what
he
will
for
the
space
of
twenty
foure
howers
against
his
Judges
,
but
if
ever
after
he
traduces
them
,
he
is
punishable
:
It
is
no
otherwise
here
where
every
ignorant
peevish
Client
,
every
puny
Barister
,
specially
if
he
become
a
Member
of
the
House
will
be
ready
to
arraign
and
vie
knowledge
with
all
the
reverend
Judges
in
the
Land
,
whose
judgement
in
points
of
Law
shold
be
onely
tripodicall
and
sterling
:
so
that
he
may
be
truly
call'd
a
just
King
,
and
to
rule
according
to
Law
,
who
rules
according
to
the
opinion
of
his
Judges
;
therefore
,
under
favour
,
I
do
not
see
how
his
Majesty
for
his
part
could
be
call'd
injust
when
he
leavied
the
Ship-money
,
considering
he
had
the
Judges
for
it
.
I
now
take
the
Sword
in
hand
,
which
is
the
third
Instrument
of
a
King
,
(
and
which
this
short
discours
chiefly
points
at
)
it
is
as
well
as
the
two
first
incommunicable
and
inalienable
from
his
Person
;
nothing
concernes
his
honor
more
both
at
home
and
abroad
;
the
Crown
and
the
Scepter
are
but
unweildy
and
impotent
naked
indefensible
things
without
it
.
There
's
none
so
simple
as
to
think
there
's
meant
hereby
an
ordinary
single
sword
,
such
as
ev'ry
one
carrieth
by
his
side
,
or
som
imaginary
thing
or
chymera
of
a
sword
;
No
,
't
is
the
polemicall
publique
sword
of
the
whole
Kingdom
,
't
is
an
aggregative
compound
sword
,
and
't
is
moulded
of
bell-metall
;
for
't
is
made
up
of
all
the
ammunition
and
armes
small
and
great
,
of
all
the
military
strengths
both
by
Land
and
Sea
,
of
all
the
Forts
,
Castles
and
tenable
places
within
and
round
about
the
whole
I
le
:
The
Kings
of
Engl.
have
had
this
sword
by
vertue
of
their
royall
signory
from
all
times
,
the
Laws
have
girded
it
to
their
sides
,
they
have
employed
it
for
repeling
all
foren
force
,
for
revenging
all
forren
wrongs
or
affronts
,
for
quelling
all
intestine
tumults
,
and
for
protecting
the
weal
of
the
whole
body
politicke
at
home
:
The
peeple
were
never
capable
of
this
sword
,
the
fundamentall
constitutions
of
this
Kingdom
deny
it
them
;
't
is
all
one
to
put
the
sword
in
a
mad
mans
hand
,
as
in
the
peeples
;
or
for
them
to
have
a
disposing
power
in
whose
hands
it
shall
be
.
Such
was
the
case
once
of
the
French
sword
,
in
that
notorious
insurrection
call'd
to
this
day
La
Iaqueris
de
Beauvoisin
,
when
the
Pesants
and
Mechanicks
had
a
design
to
wrest
it
out
of
the
Kings
hand
,
and
to
depresse
all
the
Peers
and
Gentry
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
the
businesse
had
gone
so
far
that
the
peasans
might
have
prevail'd
,
had
not
the
Prelats
stuck
close
to
the
Nobility
;
But
afterwards
poor
hare
▪
brain'd
things
they
desire
the
King
upon
bended
knees
to
take
it
againe
;
Such
popular
puffs
have
blowen
often
in
Poland
,
Naples
and
other
places
,
where
while
they
sought
and
fought
for
liberty
by
retrenching
the
regall
power
,
they
fool'd
themselfs
into
a
slavery
unawares
,
and
found
the
rule
right
,
that
excesse
of
freedom
turns
to
thraldom
,
and
ushers
in
all
confusions
.
If
one
shold
go
back
to
the
nonage
of
the
world
,
when
Governers
and
Rulers
began
first
,
one
will
find
the
peeple
desir'd
to
live
under
Kings
for
their
own
advantage
,
that
they
might
be
restrain'd
from
wild
exorbitant
liberty
,
and
kept
in
unity
;
Now
unity
is
as
requisit
for
the
wel-being
of
all
naturall
things
,
as
entity
is
for
their
being
,
and
't
is
a
receiv'd
maxime
in
policy
,
that
nothing
preserves
Unity
more
exactly
then
Royal
Government
:
besides
,
't
is
known
to
be
the
noblest
sort
of
sway
;
In
so
much
that
by
the
Law
of
Nations
,
if
Subjects
of
equal
degrees
,
and
under
differing
Princes
shold
meet
,
the
Subjects
of
a
King
shold
take
precedency
of
those
under
any
Republique
.
But
to
take
up
the
Sword
again
.
I
say
that
the
Sword
of
public
Power
and
Authority
is
fit
only
to
hang
at
the
Kings
side
,
and
so
indeed
shold
the
Great
Seal
hang
only
at
his
girdle
,
because
't
is
the
Key
of
the
Kingdom
:
which
makes
me
think
of
what
I
read
of
Charlemain
,
how
he
had
the
imperial
Seal
emboss'd
alwaies
upon
the
pommell
of
his
Sword
,
and
his
reason
was
,
that
he
was
ready
to
maintain
whatsoever
he
signed
,
and
sealed
.
The
Civilians
,
who
are
not
in
all
points
so
great
friends
to
Monarchy
as
the
Common
Law
of
England
is
,
say
,
there
are
six
Iura
Regalia
,
six
Regal
Rights
,
viz.
1.
Potestas
Iudicatoria
,
2.
Potestas
vitae
&
necis
,
3.
Armamenta
,
4.
Bona
adespota
,
5.
Census
,
6.
Monetarum
valor
:
to
wit
,
Power
of
Iudicature
,
Power
of
Life
and
Death
,
all
kind
of
arming
,
masterless
goods
,
S●…issements
,
and
the
value
of
money
.
Among
these
Regalia's
,
we
find
that
Arming
,
which
in
effect
is
nought
else
but
the
Kings
Sword
,
is
among
the
chiefest
;
and
't
is
as
proper
and
peculiar
to
his
person
,
as
either
Crown
or
Scepter
.
By
these
two
he
drawes
a
loose
voluntary
love
and
opinion
only
from
his
Subjects
,
but
by
the
Sword
he
draws
reverence
and
awe
,
which
are
the
chiefest
ingredients
of
allegiance
,
it
being
a
maxime
,
That
the
best
mixture
of
Government
is
made
of
fear
and
love
.
With
this
Sword
he
conferrs
honor
,
he
dubbs
Knights
,
he
creates
Magistrates
,
the
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
,
the
Lord
Mayor
of
London
with
all
other
Corporations
have
their
Swords
from
him
,
and
when
he
entereth
any
place
corporate
,
we
know
the
first
thing
that
is
presented
him
is
the
Sword
:
With
this
Sword
he
shields
and
preserves
all
his
people
that
every
one
may
sit
quietly
under
his
own
Vine
,
sleep
securely
in
his
own
House
,
and
enjoy
sweetly
the
fruits
of
his
labours
.
Nor
doth
the
point
of
this
Sword
reach
only
to
every
corner
of
his
own
dominions
,
but
it
extends
beyond
the
seas
to
gard
his
Subjects
from
oppression
,
and
denial
of
justice
,
as
well
as
to
vindicate
the
publick
wrongs
,
make
good
the
interests
of
his
Crown
,
and
to
assist
his
confederates
;
This
is
the
Sword
that
Edward
the
third
tied
the
Flower
deluces
unto
(
which
stick
still
unto
it
,
)
when
having
sent
to
France
to
demand
that
Crown
by
maternal
right
,
the
Counsell
ther
sent
him
word
that
the
Crown
of
France
was
not
tied
to
a
distaff
,
to
which
scoffing
answer
he
replied
,
that
then
he
wold
tie
it
to
his
sword
,
and
he
was
as
good
as
his
word
.
Nor
is
this
publick
sword
concredited
or
intrusted
by
the
peeple
in
a
fiduciary
conditionall
way
to
the
King
,
but
it
is
properly
and
peculiarly
belonging
unto
him
,
as
an
inseparable
concomitant
,
perpetual
Usher
and
attendant
to
his
Crown
.
The
King
,
we
know
,
useth
to
maintain
all
garrisons
upon
his
own
charge
,
not
the
peeples
;
he
fortifies
upon
his
own
charge
,
not
the
peeples
:
And
though
I
will
not
averr
,
that
the
King
may
impresse
any
of
his
Subjects
,
unlesse
it
be
upon
an
actuall
vasion
by
Sea
,
or
a
sudden
irruption
into
his
Kingdom
by
Land
,
as
the
Scots
have
often
done
,
yet
at
any
time
the
King
may
raise
Volunteers
,
and
those
who
have
received
his
money
,
the
Law
makes
it
felony
,
if
they
forsake
his
service
.
Thus
we
see
there
's
nothing
that
conduceth
more
to
the
glory
,
and
indeed
the
very
essence
of
a
King
then
the
Sword
,
which
is
the
Armes
and
Military
strength
of
his
Kingdom
;
wherfore
under
favour
,
ther
cannot
be
a
greater
point
of
dishonour
to
a
King
then
to
be
disarmed
,
then
to
have
his
Sword
taken
from
him
,
or
dispos'd
of
and
intrusted
to
any
but
those
whom
he
shall
appoint
;
for
as
à
minori
ad
majus
the
Argument
often
holds
,
if
a
private
Gentleman
chance
to
be
disarm'd
upon
a
quarrell
,
't
is
held
the
utmost
of
disgraces
,
much
greater
and
more
public
is
the
dishonor
that
falls
upon
a
King
,
if
after
som
traverses
of
difference
'twixt
him
and
his
Subjects
,
they
shold
offer
to
disarm
him
,
or
demand
his
Sword
of
him
:
when
the
Eagle
parted
with
his
talons
,
and
the
Lion
with
his
teeth
and
ongles
,
the
Apolog
tells
us
how
contemptible
afterwards
the
one
grew
to
be
among
Birds
,
the
other
among
Birds
,
the
other
among
Beasts
.
For
a
King
to
part
with
the
Sword
politic
is
to
render
himself
such
a
ridiculous
King
,
as
that
logg
of
wood
was
which
Iupiter
let
down
among
the
froggs
for
their
King
at
the
importunity
of
their
croaking
;
't
is
to
make
him
a
King
of
clouts
,
or
as
the
Spaniard
hath
it
,
Rey
de
Havas
,
a
Bean
King
,
such
as
we
use
to
choose
in
sport
at
Twelfnight
.
But
my
hopes
are
,
that
the
two
present
Houses
of
Parliament
(
for
now
they
may
be
call'd
so
,
because
they
begin
to
parley
with
their
King
,
)
will
be
more
tender
of
the
honour
of
their
Soveraign
Liege
Lord
,
which
,
together
with
all
his
Rights
and
Dignities
,
by
severall
solemn
Oaths
,
aud
by
their
own
binding
instruments
of
Protestation
and
Covenant
,
(
not
yet
revok'd
)
they
are
sworne
to
maintaine
,
and
that
they
will
demand
nothing
of
him
which
may
favour
of
Aspertè
or
force
,
but
what
may
hold
water
hereafter
:
But
now
,
touching
the
Militia
or
Sword
of
the
Kingdom
,
I
think
,
under
favour
,
the
King
cannot
transfer
it
to
any
other
;
for
that
were
to
desert
the
protection
of
his
people
,
which
is
point
blank
against
his
Coronation
Oath
and
his
Office
:
What
forren
Prince
or
State
will
send
either
Ambassador
,
Resident
or
Agent
to
him
,
when
they
understand
his
Sword
is
taken
from
him
?
What
reformed
forein
Church
will
acknowledg
Him
Defendor
of
the
Faith
,
when
they
hear
of
this
?
Nay
,
they
who
wish
England
no
good
will
,
will
go
near
to
paint
him
out
,
as
not
long
since
another
King
was
,
with
a
fair
velvet
Scabbard
,
a
specious
golden
hilt
and
chape
,
but
the
blade
within
was
of
wood
.
I
hope
that
they
who
sway
now
,
will
make
better
use
of
their
successes
:
Many
of
them
know
't
is
as
difficult
a
thing
to
use
a
victory
well
,
as
to
get
one
;
ther
is
as
much
prudence
requir'd
in
the
one
,
as
prowesse
in
the
other
;
they
will
be
wiser
sure
then
turn
it
to
the
dishonor
of
their
King
:
it
being
a
certain
rule
,
that
the
glory
of
a
Nation
all
the
world
over
depends
upon
the
glory
of
their
King
,
and
if
he
be
any
way
obscur'd
,
the
whole
Kingdom
is
under
an
eclipse
.
I
have
observed
,
that
among
other
characters
of
gallantry
,
which
forein
Writers
appropriat
to
the
English
Nation
,
one
is
,
that
they
use
to
be
most
zealous
to
preserve
the
Honor
of
their
King
;
I
trust
that
they
who
are
now
up
will
return
to
the
steps
of
their
Progenitors
,
both
in
this
particular
and
divers
other
;
that
their
successes
may
serve
to
sweeten
and
moderat
things
,
and
suppress
the
popular
Sword
which
still
rages
;
And
it
had
bin
heartily
wished
that
a
suspension
of
Arms
had
preceded
this
Treaty
,
which
useth
to
be
the
ordinary
fore-runner
,
and
a
necessary
antecedent
to
all
Treaties
;
for
while
acts
of
hostility
continue
,
som
ill-favour'd
newes
may
intervene
which
may
imbitter
and

nor
can
it
be
expected
that
the
proceedings
will
go
on
with
that
candor
and
confidence
,
while
the
old
rancor
is
still
in
action
▪
't
is
impossible
a
sore
shold
heal
till
the
inflamation
be
taken
away
;
To
cast
water
into
a
wound
instead
of
oyle
is
not
the
way
to
cure
it
:
or
to
cast
oyle
upon
a
fire
instead
of
water
is
not
the
way
to
quench
it
;
poor
England
hath
had
a
consuming
fire
within
her
bowels
many
years
,
she
is
also
mortally
wounded
in
all
her
members
,
that
she
is
still
in
a
high
Fever
,
which
hath
made
her
rave
and
speak
idle
a
long
time
;
and
't
is
like
to
turn
to
a
Hectic
,
if
not
timely
prevented
.
I
pray
God
she
may
have
no
occasion
to
make
use
of
the
same
complaint
as
Alexander
the
Great
made
when
he
was
expiring
his
last
,
Perii

Medicorum
:
too
many
Physitians
have
undon
me
.
To
conclude
in
a
word
,
ther
is
but
one
only
way
,
under
favor
,
to
put
a
period
to
all
these
fearful
confusions
;
it
is
,
to
put
the
great
Master-wheel
in
order
,
and
in
its
due
place
again
,
and
then
all
the
inferior
wheels
will
move
regularly
;
let
the
King
be
restor'd
,
and
ev'ry
one
will
come
to
his
own
,
all
interests
will
be
satisfied
,
all
things
quickly
rectified
;
till
this
be
done
,
't
is
as
absurd
to
attempt
the
setling
of
peace
,
as
if
one
shold
go
about
to
set
a
Watch
by
the

AN
ACCOUNT
OF
THE
Deplorable
,
and
Desperat
condition
THAT
ENGLAND
stands
in
,
Sent
from
LONDON
,
Anno
1647.
To
the
LORD
FRANCISCO
BARBERINI
,
Cardinal
of
the
most
holy
Apostolick
See
,
and
Protector
of
the
English
Nation
,
at
his
Palaces
in
Rome
.
MY
last
to
your
Eminence
was
but
short
,
in
regard
I
had
been
but
a
short
time
in
this
Countrey
,
I
have
now
made
a
longer
sojourn
here
,
and
taken
a
leisurely
information
of
all
matters
;
therefore
I
shall
give
your
Eminence
an
account
proportionably
:
For
by
conversation
with
the
most
indifferent
,
and
intelligenc'd
men
,
and
by
communication
with
the
Ambassadors
here
resident
,
I
have
taken
some
paines
to
pump
out
the
truth
of
things
,
and
penetrat
the
Interest
of
all
parties
.
And
truly
,
I
find
,
that
That
angry
star
,
which
hath
lowr'd
so
long
upon
Europe
in
generall
,
hath
been
as
predominant
,
and
cast
as
direfull
aspects
upon
this
poor
Iland
,
as
it
hath
done
upon
any
other
part
:
Truly
,
my
Lord
,
in
all
probability
this
peeple
have
pass'd
the
Meridian
of
their
happinesse
,
and
begin
to
decline
extreamly
,
as
well
in
Repute
abroad
,
as
also
in
the
common
notions
of
Religion
,
and
indeed
in
the
ordinary
faculty
of
Reason
:
I
think
verily
the
Ill
Spirit
never
reign'd
so
much
in
any
corner
of
the
earth
by
those
inhumane
aud
horrid
things
that
I
have
observ'd
among
them
.
Nor
is
it
a
petty
Spirit
,
but
one
of
the
greatest
Cacod●…mons
that
thus
drives
them
on
,
and
makes
them
so
active
in
the
pursuance
of
their
own
perdition
.
To
deduce
matters
from
their
Originall
,
Your
Eminency
may
please
to
understand
,
that
this
King
at
his
accesse
to
the
Crown
had
deep
debts
to
pay
,
both
of
His
Fathers
,
and
his
own
,
he
was
left
ingaged
in
a
fresh
warre
with
Spain
;
and
had
another
presently
after
which
France
,
and
both
at
one
time
,
but
he
came
off
well
enough
of
those
:
Afterwards
never
any
Countrey
flourished
in
that
envied
happinesse
,
and
wanton
kind
of
prosperity
;
This
City
of
London
was
grown
to
be
the
greatest
Mart
,
and
mistress
of
trade
,
of
any
in
the
world
;
Insomuch
,
as
I
have
been
certainly
inform'd
,
the
King
might
have
spent
meerly
upon
His
customes
4000
crowns
a
day
:
Moreover
,
she
had
a
vast
bank
of
money
being
made
the
scale
of
conveying
the
King
of
Spains
treasure
to
Flanders
:
Insomuch
that
in
a
few
yeers
she
had
above
ten
millions
of
his
moneys
brought
hither
,
which
she
might
have
remitted
in
specie
or
in
marchandize
,
and
for
which
this
King
had
five
in
the
hundred
for
coynage
:
Yet
could
he
not
get
beforehand
with
the
world
,
having
a
sister
with
so
many
Nephews
and
neeces
,
having
a
Queen
with
diverse
children
of
His
own
,
(
at
least
16
of
the
Blood-Royall
)
to
maintaine
,
with
divers
profuse
Courtiers
besides
,
which
made
Him
more
parsimonious
then
ordinary
.
The
Warres
then
growing
more
active
'twixt
Spaine
and
France
,
as
also
'twixt
Holland
and
Spaine
both
by
Land
and
Sea
,
and
divers
great
Fleets
of
Men
of
War
as
well
French
(
who
were
growne
powerfull
that
way
)
as
Dunkerkers
,
Spaniards
Hollanders
,
and
Hamburgers
,
appearing
daily
in
His
narrow
Seas
,
and
sayling
close
by
His
Chambers
,
the
world
wondred
this
King
had
no
greater
strength
at
Sea
,
in
case
that
any
of
the
foresaid
Nations
should
doe
him
an
affront
,
as
some
of
them
had
already
done
,
by
denying
to
dash
their
Colours
to
his
Ships
:
Insomuch
that
in
Holland
and
other
places
he
was
pasquill'd
at
,
and
pourtrayed
lying
in
his
cradle
lullaby'd
and
rock'd
asleep
by
the
Spaniard
:
Hereupon
being
by
advertisements
from
his
Agents
abroad
,
and
frequent
advice
of
His
Privie
Councell
at
home
,
made
sensible
of
the
danger
,
and
a
kind
of
dishonour
he
was
faln
into
,
and
having
intelligence
that
the
French
Cardinall
began
to
question
his
title
to
the
Dominion
of
the
narrow
Seas
,
considering
He
employed
no
visible
power
to
preserve
it
,
He
began
to
consult
of
meanes
to
set
forth
a
royall
Fleet
:
but
in
regard
the
Purse
of
the
Crowne
was
lightly
ballasted
,
and
that
he
had
no
mind
to
summon
the
three
Estates
,
because
of
some
indignities
he
had
received
in
former
Parliaments
by
the
Puritan
party
(
a
race
of
people
averse
to
all
Kingly
Government
,
unlesse
they
may
pare
it
as
they
please
)
his
then
Atturney
Generall
(
Noy
)
a
great
cryed-up-Lawyer
,
put
it
in
his
Head
to
impose
an
old
Tax
called
Ship-mony
upon
the
Subject
,
which
the
said
Lawyer
did
warrant
upon
his
life
to
be
Legall
,
for
he
could
produce
divers
Records
how
many
of
his
Progenitors
had
done
the
like
:
The
King
not
satisfied
with
his
single
opinion
,
refer'd
it
to
his
learn'd
Council
,
&
they
unanimously
averred
it
to
be
agreeable
to
the
Law
of
the
Land
;
yet
this
would
not
fully
satisfie
the
King
,
but
He
would
have
the
Opinion
of
His
twelve
Judges
,
and
they
also
affirmed
by
their
single
vouches
the
said
Tax
to
be
warrantable
;
Hereupon
it
was
imposed
and
leavied
,
but
some
refusing
to
pay
it
,
there
was
a
suite
commenc'd
,
during
which
all
the
Judges
were
to
re-deliver
their
opinions
joyntly
,
and
the
businesse
being
maturely
debated
and
canvased
in
open
Court
divers
months
,
and
all
arguments
produc'd
pro
&
con
,
nine
of
the
said
twelve
Judges
concluded
it
legal
.
Thereupon
the
King
continued
the
imposition
of
the
said
Tax
,
and
never
was
mony
imployed
so
much
for
the
Honour
and
advantage
of
a
Countrey
,
for
he
sent
out
every
Summer
a
royall
fleet
to
scowre
and
secure
the
Seas
;
he
caused
a
Galeon
to
be
built
,
the
greatest
and
gallantest
that
ever
spread
saile
:
Nor
did
he
purse
up
,
and
dispose
of
one
peny
of
this
money
to
any
other
use
,
but
added
much
of
his
own
Revenues
yeerly
thereunto
:
So
the
world
abroad
cried
up
the
King
of
England
to
be
awake
againe
;
Trade
did
wonderfully
encrease
,
both
Domestic
and
forrein
in
all
the
three
Kingdomes
;
Ireland
was
reduced
to
an
absolute
Settlement
,
the
Arrears
of
the
Crown
payed
,
and
a
considerable
Revenue
came
thence
cleerly
to
the
Exchequer
of
England
every
year
,
the
salaries
of
all
Officers
,
with
the
pay
of
the
standing
Army
●…here
,
and
all
other
Charges
being
defrayed
by
Ireland
her self
,
which
was
never
done
before
.
Yet
for
all
this
height
of
pappinesse
,
and
the
glorious
fruites
of
the
said
Ship-money
,
(
which
was
but
a
kind
of
petty
insensible
Tax
,
&
a
thing
of
nothing
to
what
hath
hapened
since
)
there
were
some
foolish
peeple
in
this
Land
which
murmured
at
it
,
and
cryed
nothing
else
but
a
Parliament
,
a
Parliament
;
and
they
have
had
a
Parliament
since
with
a
vengeance
.
But
before
this
occasion
,
it
was
observed
,
that
the
seeds
of
disobedience
,
and
a
spirit
of
insurrection
was
a
long
time
engendring
in
the
hearts
of
som
of
this
peace-pampred
People
,
which
is
conceived
to
proceed
from
their
conversation
and
commerce
with
three
sorts
of
men
,
viz.
the
Scot
,
the
Hollander
and
the
French
Huguenot
.
Now
an
advantage
happened
that
much
conduced
to
necessitate
the
convoking
of
a
Parliament
,
which
was
an
ill-favoured
traverse
that
fell
out
in
Scotland
;
For
the
King
intending
an
Uniformity
of
Divine
worship
in
all
His
three
Kingdoms
,
sent
thither
the
Liturgy
of
this
Church
,
but
it
found
cold
and
course
entertainment
ther
,
for
the
whole
Nation
,
men
,
women
and
children
rise
up
a
gainst
them
:
Here
upon
the
King
absolutely
revoked
it
by
Proclamation
,
wherein
He
declared
't
was
never
His
purpose
to
press
the
practise
therof
upon
the
Consciences
of
any
;
therfore
commanded
that
all
things
shold
be
in
statu
quo
prius
,
but
this
wold
not
serve
the
turn
,
the
Scot
took
advantge
hereby
to
destroy
Hierarchy
,
and
pull
down
the
Bishops
to
get
their
demeans
:
To
which
purpose
they
came
with
an
Army
in
open
Field
against
their
own
Native
King
,
who
not
disgesting
this
indignity
,
Mustred
another
English
Army
;
which
being
upon
the
confines
of
both
Kingdoms
,
a
kind
of
Pacification
was
plaistred
over
for
the
present
.
The
King
returning
to
London
,
and
consulting
His
second
thoughts
,
resented
that
insolency
of
the
Scots
more
then
formerly
:
Hereupon
He
summons
a
Parliament
,
and
desires
aid
to
Vindicat
that
Affront
of
the
Scot.
The
Scot
had
strong
Intelligence
with
the
Puritan
Faction
in
the
English
Parliament
,
who
seemed
to
abet
his
quarrel
,
rather
then
to
be
sensible
of
any
national
dishonour
received
from
him
;
which
caused
that
short-lived
Parliament
to
dissolve
in
discontent
,
and
the
King
was
forced
to
find
other
means
to
raise
and
support
an
Army
by
privat
Loanes
of
His
nobler
sort
of
Subjects
and
Servants
:
The
Scot
having
punctual
Advertisements
of
every
thing
that
passed
;
yea
,
in
the
Kings
Cabinet
Councel
was
not
idle
all
this
while
,
but
rallies
what
was
left
of
the
former
Army
(
which
by
the
Articles
of
Pacification
(
a
little
before
)
should
have
bin
absolutely
dismissed
)
and
boldly
invades
England
,
which
he
durst
never
have
done
,
if
he
had
not
well
known
that
this
Puritan
party
which
was
now
grown
very
powerful
here
,
and
indeed
had
invited
him
to
this
expedition
,
wold
stand
to
him
.
This
forein
Army
being
by
the
pernicious
close
machinations
of
som
mongrel
Englishmen
aforementioned
,
entred
into
the
Bowels
of
the
Country
,
the
King
was
forced
to
call
this
present
Parliament
,
with
whom
he
complyed
in
every
thing
,
so
far
as
to
sacrifice
unto
them
both
Iudge
,
Bishop
,
Councellor
and
Courtier
;
yea
,
He
yielded
to
the
tumbling
down
of
many
tribunals
of
Justice
,
which
were
an
advantage
to
his
Prerogative
;
He
assented
that
the
Prelates
,
who
were
the
most
Ancient
and
Prime
Members
of
the
upper
House
,
and
had
priority
of
all
others
,
since
the
first
constitution
of
Parliament
in
the
enrollment
of
all
Acts
,
He
assented
I
say
that
these
,
who
were
the
greatest
prop
of
His
Crown
shold
be
quite
outed
from
among
the
Peers
;
He
granted
them
also
a
Trienniall
Parliament
,
and
after
that
,
this
Perpetuall
;
which
words
,
to
the
apprehension
of
any
rational
man
,
carry
with
them
a
grosse
absurdity
in
the
very
sense
of
the
thing
:
And
touching
this
last
Grant
,
I
had
it
from
a
good
hand
,
that
the
Queen
was
a
friend
to
this
Parliament
,
and
your
Eminence
knows
how
they
have
requited
Her
since
,
but
the
main
open
Councellor
to
this
fatall
Act
was
a
Scot.
Now
the
reason
which
they
alledged
for
this
everlasting
Parliament
was
one
of
the
baldest
that
ever
I
heard
of
,
it
was
,
that
they
might
have
time
enough
to
pay
the
Scots
Army
,
wheras
in
one
morning
they
might
have
dispatched
that
,
by
passing
so
many
Subsidies
for
that
use
,
and
upon
the
credit
of
those
,
they
might
have
raised
what
money
they
wold
.
The
Parliament
finding
the
King
so
plyable
,
and
His
pulse
to
beat
so
gently
,
like
ill-natur'd
men
they
fall
from
inches
to
ells
in
seeking
their
advantages
:
They
grew
so
peremptory
as
to
demand
all
the
Military
strength
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
Tower
of
London
,
with
the
whole
Royal
Navy
,
which
they
found
in
an
excellent
equipage
,
gramercy
ship-money
;
so
that
the
benefit
of
ship-money
,
which
they
so
clamoured
at
,
turned
most
to
their
advantage
of
any
thing
afterwards
.
The
Scot
being
Fidler-like
returned
to
his
Country
with
meat
,
drink
,
and
money
,
the
King
went
a
while
after
to
keep
a
Parliament
ther
,
wherein
he
filled
every
blank
,
they
did
but
ask
and
have
,
for
He
granted
them
what
possibly
they
could
propound
,
both
for
their
Kirk
and
State
,
many
received
Honour
,
and
they
divided
Bishops
Lands
amongst
them
:
for
all
which
unparallel'd
Concessions
of
Princely
grace
,
they
caused
an
Act
already
in
force
to
be
published
,
viz.
that
it
shold
be
damnable
Treason
in
the
highest
degree
that
could
be
,
for
any
of
the
Scots
Nation
conjunctly
or
singly
to
levy
armes
,
or
any
Military
Forces
,
upon
any
pretext
whatsoever
,
without
His
Majesties
royal
Commission
;
and
this
they
caused
to
be
don
by
way
of
gratitude
,
but
how
they
perform'd
it
afterwards
the
world
knowes
too
well
.
The
King
returning
to
London
,
in
lieu
of
a
welcom
to
his
two
Houses
of
Parliament
(
to
whom
also
before
his
departure
he
had
passed
more
Acts
of
Grace
then
all
his
Progenitors
,
take
them
all
in
a
lump
)
they
had
patch'd
up
a
kind
of
Remonstrance
,
which
was
voted
in
dead
of
the
night
,
wherein
they
expos'd
to
the
world
the
least
moat
in
former
government
,
and
aggravated
to
the
very
height
every
grievance
,
notwithstanding
that
the
King
had
redressed
all
before
;
and
this
Remonstrance
,
which
breath'd
nothing
but
a
base
kind
of
malice
,
they
presented
as
a
nosegay
to
their
Soveraign
Prince
,
to
congratulat
his
safe
return
from
a
forein
Countrey
;
which
Remonstrance
they
caus'd
to
be
printed
and
publish'd
before
he
could
give
any
answer
thereunto
.
The
King
finding
such
a
virulent
spirit
still
raign
in
the
House
,
and
knowing
who
were
chiefly
possess'd
with
it
(
viz.
Those
whom
he
had
impeach'd
before
,
but
saw
he
could
get
no
justice
against
them
)
in
such
an
extremity
,
he
did
an
act
like
a
generous
Prince
,
for
taking
the
Palsgrave
with
him
,
he
took
the
first
Coach
he
met
withall
at
his
Court-gate
,
and
went
to
his
House
of
Commons
in
person
,
to
demand
five
Members
,
which
he
wold
prove
to
be
Traitors
in
the
highest
degree
〈◊〉
to
be
the
Authors
of
all
these
distempers
,
protesting
upon
the
word
of
a
King
,
that
they
shold
have
as
fair
&
legal
a
tryal
as
ever
men
had
;
in
the
interim
he
only
desir'd
that
their
persons
might
be
secur'd
.
The
walls
of
both
Houses
,
and
the
very
stones
in
London
street
did
seem
to
ring
of
this
high
cariage
of
the
Kings
,
and
the
sound
went
thence
to
the
Country
,
whence
the
silly
Plebeians
came
presently
in
whole
herds
to
this
City
,
who
strutting
up
and
down
the
streets
,
had
nothing
in
their
mouths
,
but
that
the
Priviledg
of
Parlement
,
the
priviledg
of
Parlement
was
broken
,
though
it
be
the
known
clear
Law
of
the
Land
,
that
the
Parlement
cannot
supersede
or
shelter
any
Treason
.
The
King
finding
how
violently
the
pulse
of
the
grosly
seduced
people
did
beat
,
and
ther
having
bin
formerly
divers
riotous
crues
of
base
Mechaniques
and
Mariners
,
who
had
affronted
both
his
own
Court
,
and
the
two
Houses
besides
,
which
the
Commons
,
to
their
eternal
reproach
,
conniv'd
at
,
notwithstanding
that
divers
motions
were
made
by
the
Lords
to
suppresse
them
,
the
King
also
having
privat
intelligence
that
ther
was
a
mischievous
plot
to
surprize
his
person
,
remov'd
his
Court
to
the
Countrey
.
The
King
departing
,
or
rather
being
driven
away
thus
from
his
two
Houses
,
by
this
mutinous
City
,
he
might
well
at
his
going
away
have
ubraided
her
in
the
same
words
as
H.
the
3.
did
upbraid
Paris
,
who
being
by
such
another
tumultuous
rabble
driven
out
of
her
in
the
time
of
the
Ligue
,
as
he
was
losing
sight
of
her
,
he
turn'd
his
face
back
,
and
said
,
Farewel
ingratefull
City
,
I
will
never
see
thee
again
till
I
make
my
way
into
thee
through
thy
Walls
:
Yet
though
the
King
absented
himself
in
person
thus
from
the
two
Houses
,
he
sent
them
frequent
messages
,
that
they
wold
draw
into
Acts
what
he
had
already
assented
unto
,
and
if
any
thing
was
left
yet
undon
by
him
,
he
wold
do
it
;
therfore
he
will'd
them
to
leave
off
those
groundless
feares
and
jealousies
wherwith
they
had
amus'd
both
City
and
Country
;
and
he
was
ready
to
return
at
all
times
to
his
Palace
in
Westminster
,
provided
that
his
person
might
be
secur'd
from
the
former
barbarisms
and
outrages
:
But
in
lieu
of
a
dutiful
compliance
with
their
Prince
,
the
thoughts
of
the
two
Houses
ran
upon
nothing
but
war
:
The
King
then
retiring
into
the
North
,
and
thinking
with
a
few
of
his
servants
only
to
go
visit
a
Town
of
his
(
Hull
)
he
was
denyed
entrance
by
a
fatal
unlucky
wretch
(
Hotham
)
who
afterwards
was
shamefully
executed
with
his
Eldest
Son
,
by
command
of
his
new
Masters
of
the
Parlement
:
The
King
being
thus
shut
out
of
his
own
Town
(
which
open'd
the
first
dore
to
a
bloudy
war
)
put
forth
a
Declaration
,
wherin
he
warn'd
all
his
people
that
they
shold
look
to
their
proprieties
,
for
if
He
was
thus
barr'd
of
his
own
,
how
could
any
privat
Subject
be
sure
to
be
Master
of
any
thing
he
had
,
and
herein
he
was
as
much
Prophet
as
Prince
;
For
the
Parlement-men
afterwards
made
themselfs
Land-Lords
of
the
whole
Kingdom
,
it
hath
bin
usual
for
them
to
thrust
any
out
of
his
freehold
,
to
take
his
bed
from
under
him
,
and
his
shirt
from
off
his
very
back
.
The
King
being
kept
thus
out
of
one
of
his
Townes
,
might
suspect
that
he
might
be
driven
out
of
another
,
therfore
't
was
time
for
him
to
look
to
the
preservation
of
his
Person
,
and
the
Country
came
in
voluntarily
unto
him
by
thousands
to
that
purpose
,
but
he
made
choice
of
a
few
only
to
be
his
gard
,
as
the
Parlementeers
had
done
a
good
while
before
for
themselfs
:
But
now
they
went
otherwise
to
work
,
for
they
fell
a
levying
,
listing
and
arming
men
by
whole
Regiments
and
Brigades
till
they
had
a
very
considerable
Army
afoot
,
before
the
King
had
one
Musqueteer
or
Trooper
on
his
side
;
yet
these
men
are
so
notoriously
impudent
,
as
to
make
the
King
the
first
Aggressor
of
the
war
,
and
to
lay
upon
Him
all
the
bloud
that
was
split
to
this
day
,
wherein
the
Devil
himself
cannot
be
more
shamelesse
.
The
Parliamenteers
having
an
army
of
foot
and
horse
thus
in
perfect
Equipage
,
't
was
high
time
for
the
King
to
look
to
himself
,
therefore
he
was
forced
to
display
his
royal
Standard
,
and
draw
his
sword
quite
out
:
Thus
a
cruel
and
most
cruentous
civil
war
began
which
lasted
near
upon
four
years
without
intermission
,
wherein
there
happen'd
more
batta
les
,
sieges
and
skirmishes
,
then
passed
in
the
Nether-lands
in
fourscore
years
,
and
herein
the
Englishmen
may
be
said
to
get
som
credit
abroad
in
the
world
,
that
they
have
the
same
bloud
running
in
their
veines
(
though
not
the
same
braines
in
their
sculls
)
which
their
Ancestors
had
,
who
were
observed
to
be
the
activest
people
in
the
field
,
impatient
of
delay
,
and
most
desirous
of
battaile
then
any
Nation
.
But
it
was
one
of
the
greatest
miracles
that
ever
happen'd
in
this
Land
,
how
the
King
was
able
to
subsist
so
long
against
the
Parlamenteers
,
considering
the
multiplicity
of
infinite
advantages
they
had
of
him
by
water
and
land
:
for
they
had
the
Scot
,
the
Sea
and
the
City
on
their
side
;
touching
the
first
,
he
rushed
in
as
an
Auxiliary
with
above
20000.
Horse
and
Foot
compleatly
furnish
▪
d
both
with
small
and
great
ammunition
and
Arms
,
well
cloth'd
and
money'd
:
For
the
second
,
they
had
all
the
Kings
ships
well
appointed
,
which
are
held
to
be
the
greatest
security
of
the
Island
both
for
defence
and
offence
,
for
every
one
of
them
is
accounted
one
of
the
moving
Castles
of
the
Kingdom
:
besides
,
they
had
all
the
other
standing
stone-Castles
,
Forts
,
and
tenable
places
to
boot
:
Concerning
the
last
,
(
viz.
the
City
)
therein
they
had
all
the
wealth
,
bravery
,
and
prime
ammunition
of
England
,
this
being
the
only
Magazin
of
men
and
money
:
Now
if
the
K.
had
had
but
one
of
these
on
his
side
,
he
had
in
all
probability
crush'd
them
to
nothing
:
yet
did
he
bear
up
strangely
against
them
a
long
time
,
and
might
have
done
longer
,
had
he
kept
the
campane
,
and
not
spent
the
spirits
of
his
men
before
Townes
;
had
he
not
made
a
disadvantagious
election
of
som
Commanders
in
chief
,
and
lastly
,
had
he
not
had
close
Traitors
within
dores
,
as
well
as
open
Rebels
without
;
for
his
very
Cabinet
Councel
,
and
Bed-Chamber
were
not
free
of
such
vermin
,
and
herein
the
Parlementeers
spent
unknown
sums
and
were
very
prodigal
of
the
Kingdoms
money
.
The
King
,
after
many
traverses
of
war
,
being
reduced
to
a
great
strait
by
crosse
successes
and
Counsels
,
rather
then
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
Parlementeers
,
withdrew
himself
in
a
Serving-mans
disguise
to
the
Scots
army
,
as
his
last
randevous
,
and
this
plot
was
manag'd
by
the
French
Agent
then
residing
here
;
A
man
wold
think
that
that
Nation
wold
have
deem'd
it
an
eternal
honour
unto
them
to
have
their
own
King
and
Countrey-man
throw
himself
thus
into
their
armes
,
and
to
repose
such
a
singular
trust
in
them
upon
such
an
Extremity
:
but
they
corresponded
not
so
well
with
him
as
he
expected
,
for
though
at
first
when
the
Parlamenteers
sollicited
their
dear
Brethren
for
a
delivery
of
the
Kings
person
unto
them
,
their
note
was
then
,
if
any
forein
petty
Prince
had
so
put
himself
upon
them
,
they
could
not
with
honour
deliver
him
,
much
less
their
own
native
King
;
yet
they
made
a
sacrifice
of
him
at
last
for
800000.
Crownes
;
wherupon
Bellieure
the
French
Ambassador
being
convoyed
by
a
Troop
of
horse
from
the
King
towards
London
,
to
such
a
stand
,
in
lieu
of
larges
to
the
souldiers
,
he
drew
out
an
half
Crown
piece
,
and
ask'd
them
how
many
pence
that
was
,
they
answered
30.
He
replyed
,
for
so
much
did
Iudas
betray
his
Master
,
and
so
he
departed
.
And
now
,
that
in
the
cours
of
this
Historical
Narration
,
I
have
touch'd
upon
France
,
your
Eminence
may
please
to
understand
,
that
nothing
almost
could
tend
more
to
the
advantage
of
that
K.
then
these
commotions
in
England
,
considering
that
he
was
embark'd
in
an
actuall
war
with
the
House
of
Austria
and
that
this
Iland
did
do
Spain
some
good
offices
;
among
other
,
by
transport
of
his
treasure
to
Dunkerk
in
English
bottomes
,
whereunto
this
King
gave
way
,
and
sometimes
in
his
own
Galeons
,
which
sav'd
the
Spaniard
neer
upon
20.
in
the
hundred
,
then
if
he
had
sent
it
by
way
of
Genoa
;
so
that
som
think
,
though
France
made
semblance
to
resent
the
sad
condition
of
her
Neighbour
,
and
thereupon
sent
the
Prince
of
Harcour
,
and
the
foresaid
Monsieur
Bellieure
to
compose
matters
,
yet
she
never
really
intended
it
,
as
being
against
her
present
interest
and
engagements
:
yet
the
world
thinks
it
much
that
she
shold
publiquely
receive
an
Agent
from
these
Parlamenteeres
,
and
that
the
French
Nobility
who
were
us'd
to
be
the
gallantest
men
in
the
world
to
vindicate
the
quarrels
of
distressed
Ladies
,
are
not
more
sensible
of
the
outrages
that
have
bin
offer'd
a
daughter
of
France
,
specially
of
Henry
the
greats
.
But
to
resume
the
threed
of
my
Narration
,
the
King
(
and
with
him
,
one
may
say
,
England
also
)
being
thus
bought
and
sold
,
the
Parlamenteers
insteed
of
bringing
him
to
Westminster
,
which
had
put
a
Period
to
all
distempers
,
toss'd
him
up
and
downe
to
private
houses
,
and
kept
the
former
Army
still
afoot
:
And
truly
I
think
there
was
never
Prince
so
abus'd
,
or
poor
peeple
so
baffled
,
and
no
peeple
but
a
purblind
besotted
peeple
wold
have
suffred
themselves
to
be
so
baffled
:
for
notwithstanding
that
no
Enemy
appeer'd
in
any
corner
of
the
Kingdome
,
yet
above
20000.
Tagaroones
have
bin
kept
together
ever
since
to
grind
the
faces
of
the
poor
,
and
exhaust
the
very
vitall
spirits
of
town
and
Countrey
,
and
keep
them
all
in
a
perfect
slavery
:
Had
the
Parlament-men
,
when
the
Scots
were
gone
,
brought
their
King
in
a
generous
and
frank
way
(
as
had
well
becom'd
Englishmen
)
to
sit
among
them
,
and
trusted
to
him
(
which
of
necessity
they
must
do
at
last
)
as
they
had
gain
▪
d
more
honor
far
in
the
world
abroad
,
so
they
had
gain'd
more
upon
his
affections
then
I
beleeve
they
will
ever
do
hereafter
.
But
to
proceed
,
the
King
having
bin
a
good
while
prisoner
to
the
Parlement
,
the
Army
snatch'd
him
away
from
them
,
and
som
of
the
chiefest
Commanders
having
pawn'd
their
soules
unto
him
to
restore
him
speedily
,
in
lieu
thereof
they
tumbled
him
up
and
down
to
sundry
places
,
till
they
juggled
him
at
last
to
that
small
Ile
where
now
he
is
surrounded
with
a
gard
of
strange
faces
;
and
if
happly
he
beginns
to
take
delight
in
any
of
those
faces
,
he
is
quickly
taken
out
of
his
sight
.
These
harsh
usages
hath
made
him
become
all
gray
and
oregrown
with
hair
so
that
he
lookes
rather
like
som
Silvan
Satyr
then
a
Soverain
Prince
:
And
truly
my
Lord
the
meanest
slave
in
St.
Marks
gallies
or
the
abjects
Captif
in
Algier
bannier
is
not
so
miserable
as
he
in
divers
kinds
,
for
they
have
the
comfort
of
their
wifes
,
children
and
frends
,
they
can
convey
and
receive
Letters
,
send
Messengers
upon
their
errands
,
and
have
privat
discours
with
any
;
all
which
is
denied
to
the
King
of
great
Britain
,
nay
the
young
Princes
his
children
are
not
permitted
as
much
as
to
ask
him
blessing
in
a
letter
.
In
so
much
that
if
he
were
not
a
great
King
of
his
passions
,
and
had
a
heart
cast
in
on
extraordinary
Mould
,
these
pressures
and
those
base
aspersions
that
have
bin
publiquely
cast
upon
him
by
the
Parlement
it self
,
had
bin
enough
to
have
sent
him
out
of
the
world
e're
this
,
and
indeed
't
is
the
main
thing
they
drive
at
,
to
torture
his
braine
,
and
tear
his
very
heart
strings
if
they
could
:
so
that
whereas
this
foolish
ignorant
peeple
speak
such
horrid
things
of
our
Inquisition
,
truly
my
Lord
't
is
a
most
gentle
way
of
proceeding
being
compar'd
to
this
Kings
persecutions
.
As
the
King
himselfe
is
thus
in
quality
of
a
captif
,
so
are
all
his
Subjects
becom
perfect
slaves
,
they
have
fool'd
themselfs
into
a
worse
slavery
then
Iew
or
Greek
under
the
Ottomans
,
for
they
know
the
bottom
of
their
servitude
by
paying
so
many
Sultanesses
for
every
head
;
but
here
,
people
are
put
to
endless
,
unknown
,
tyrannical
Taxes
,
besides
plundering
and
Accize
,
which
two
words
,
and
the
practise
of
them
(
with
storming
of
Towns
)
they
have
learnt
of
their
pure
Brethren
of
Holland
:
and
for
plundrings
,
these
Parliamenteer-Saints
think
they
may
robb
any
that
adheres
not
to
them
as
lawfully
as
the
Iewes
did
the
Egyptians
:
'T
is
an
unsommable
masse
of
money
these
Reformers
have
squandred
in
few
years
,
whereof
they
have
often
promis'd
and
solemnly
voted
a
publick
account
to
satisfie
the
Kingdom
:
but
as
in
a
hundred
things
more
,
so
in
this
precious
particular
they
have
dispens'd
with
their
Votes
:
they
have
consumed
more
treasure
with
pretence
to
purge
one
Kingdom
,
then
might
have
served
to
have
purchas'd
two
;
more
(
as
I
am
credibly
told
)
then
all
the
Kings
of
England
spent
of
the
public
stock
since
the
Saxon
Conquest
:
Thus
have
they
not
only
begger'd
the
whole
Island
,
but
they
have
hurld
it
into
the
most
fearfull
▪
st
Chaos
of
confusion
that
ever
poor
Countrey
was
in
;
they
have
torn
in
pieces
the
reines
of
all
Government
,
trampled
upon
all
Lawes
of
heaven
and
earth
,
and
violated
the
very
Dictamens
of
nature
,
by
making
Mothers
to
betray
their
Sons
,
and
the
Sons
their
Fathers
,
but
specially
that
Great
Charter
,
which
is
the
Pandect
of
all
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
the
free-born
Subject
,
which
at
their
admission
to
the
House
they
are
solemnly
sworn
to
maintain
,
is
torn
in
flitters
:
besides
those
severall
Oaths
they
forg'd
themselfs
,
as
the
Protestation
and
Covenant
,
where
they
voluntarily
swear
to
maintain
the
Kings
Honour
and
Rights
,
together
with
the
established
Laws
of
the
Land
,
&c.
Now
I
am
told
,
that
all
Acts
of
Parlement
here
are
Lawes
,
and
they
carry
that
Majesty
with
them
,
that
no
power
can
suspend
or
repeal
them
,
but
the
same
power
that
made
them
,
which
is
the
King
sitting
in
full
Parlement
;
these
mongrell
Polititians
have
bin
so
notoriously
impudent
as
to
make
an
inferiour
Ordinance
of
theirs
to
do
it
,
which
is
point-blanck
against
the
very
fundamentals
of
this
Government
,
and
their
own
Oaths
,
which
makes
me
think
that
there
was
never
such
a
perjur'd
pack
of
wretches
upon
earth
,
never
such
Monsters
of
mankind
.
Yet
this
simple
infatuated
peeple
have
a
Saint-like
opinion
of
these
Monsters
,
this
foolish
Citie
gards
them
daily
with
Horse
and
Foot
,
whereby
she
may
be
sayd
to
kisse
the
very
stones
that
are
thrown
at
her
,
and
the
hand
whence
they
came
,
which
a
dogg
would
not
do
:
But
she
falls
to
recollect
her self
now
that
shee
begins
to
be
pinch'd
in
Trade
,
and
that
her
Mint
is
starv'd
,
yet
the
leading'st
men
in
her
Common-Councell
care
not
much
for
it
,
in
regard
most
of
them
have
left
traffiquing
abroad
,
finding
it
a
more
easie
and
gainefull
way
of
trading
at
home
,
by
purchasing
Crown
or
Church
lands
,
plunder'd
goods
,
and
debts
upon
the
Publick
Faith
,
with
Soldiers
debenters
;
thus
the
Saints
of
this
Iland
turne
godlinesse
into
gaine
.
Truly
my
Lord
,
I
give
the
English
for
a
lost
Nation
,
if
they
continue
long
thus
,
never
was
ther
a
more
palpable
oblaesion
of
the
brain
,
and
a
more
visible
decay
of
Reason
in
any
race
of
men
:
It
is
a
sore
judgment
from
heaven
,
that
a
people
shold
not
be
more
sensible
how
they
are
become
slaves
to
Rebells
,
and
those
,
most
of
them
the
scumm
of
the
Nation
,
which
is
the
basest
of
miseries
:
how
they
suffer
them
to
tyrannize
by
a
meer
arbitrary
extrajudicial
power
o're
their
very
souls
and
bodies
▪
o're
their
very
lifs
and
livelihoods
;
how
their
former
freedom
is
turn'd
to
fetters
,
Molehills
into
Mountains
of
grievances
,
Ship-money
into
Accize
,
Justice
into
Tyranny
:
For
nothing
hath
bin
and
is
daily
so
common
amongst
them
as
imprisonment
without
charge
,
and
a
charge
without
an
accuser
,
condemnation
without
apparance
,
and
forfeitures
without
conviction
.
To
speak
a
little
more
of
the
King
,
if
all
the
infernal
fiends
had
ligu'd
against
him
,
they
could
not
have
design'd
or
disgorged
more
malice
:
They
wold
have
laid
to
his
charge
his
Fathers
death
,
as
arrand
a
lie
as
ever
was
forg'd
in
hell
:
they
wold
make
him
fore-know
the
insurrection
in
Ireland
,
wheras
the
Spanish
Ambassador
here
,
and
his
Confessor
who
is
a
very
reverend
Irish-man
,
told
me
,
that
he
knew
no
more
of
it
then
the
grand
Mogor
did
:
they
charge
him
with
all
the
bloud
of
this
civil
war
,
wheras
they
and
their
instruments
were
the
first
kindlers
of
it
,
and
that
first
prohibited
trade
and
shut
him
out
of
his
own
Town
:
They
have
intercepted
and
printed
his
privat
Letters
to
his
Queen
,
and
Hers
to
him
,
(
Oh
barbarous
basenesse
!
)
but
therin
they
did
him
a
pleasure
,
though
the
intent
was
malitious
,
their
aim
in
all
things
being
to
envenom
the
hearts
of
his
people
towards
him
;
and
this
was
to
render
him
a
glorious
and
well-belov'd
Prince
,
as
likewise
for
making
him
rich
,
(
all
which
they
had
vow'd
to
do
upon
passing
the
Act
of
Continuance
,
)
But
now
they
have
made
him
poorer
then
the
meanest
of
all
his
vassals
,
they
have
made
him
to
have
no
propriety
in
house
,
goods
,
or
Lands
,
or
as
one
may
say
,
in
his
wife
and
children
:
'T
was
usual
for
the
father
to
hunt
in
his
Park
while
the
son
hunted
for
his
life
in
the
field
,
for
the
wife
〈◊〉
lie
in
his
bedds
,
while
the
husband
layed
wait
to
murther
him
abroad
;
they
have
seiz'd
upon
and
sold
his
privat
Hangings
an●…
Plate
,
yea
his
very
Cabinets
,
Jewels
,
Pictures
,
Statues
,
and
Books
.
Nor
are
they
the
honorablest
sort
of
peeple
,
and
men
nobly
extracted
(
as
in
Scotland
)
that
do
all
this
,
(
for
then
it
were
not
so
much
to
be
wondred
at
)
but
they
are
the
meanest
sort
of
Subjects
,
many
of
them
illiterat
Mechaniques
,
wherof
the
lower
House
is
full
;
specially
the
subordinat
Committees
,
who
domineer
more
o're
Nobles
and
Gentry
,
then
the
Parliament
Members
themselfs
their
Masters
use
to
do
.
Touching
those
few
Peers
that
sit
now
voting
in
the
upper
House
,
they
may
be
said
to
be
but
meer
Cyphers
,
they
are
grown
so
degenerat
as
to
suffer
the
Commons
to
give
them
the
Law
,
to
ride
upon
their
backs
,
and
do
most
things
without
them
:
Ther
be
many
thousand
Petitions
that
have
bin
recommended
by
these
Lords
to
the
lower
House
,
which
are
scornfully
thrown
into
corners
and
never
read
;
their
Messengers
have
us'd
to
dance
attendance
divers
hours
and
days
before
they
were
vouchsafed
to
be
let
in
or
heard
,
to
the
eternal
dishonour
of
those
Peers
,
and
yet
poor
spirited
things
they
resent
it
not
:
The
Commons
now
command
all
,
and
though
,
as
I
am
inform'd
,
they
are
summon'd
thither
by
the
Kings
Original
Writ
but
to
consent
to
what
the
King
and
his
Great
Counsel
of
Peers
(
which
is
the
tru
Court
of
Parlement
)
shall
resolve
upon
;
The
Commons
I
say
are
now
from
Consenters
become
the
chiefest
Counsellors
,
yea
Controulers
of
all
;
nay
som
of
this
lower
House
fly
so
high
as
to
term
themselfs
Conquerors
,
and
though
in
all
conferences
with
the
Lords
they
stand
bare
before
them
,
yet
by
a
new
way
of
mix'd
Committees
they
carry
themselfs
as
Collegues
:
These
are
the
men
that
now
have
the
vogue
,
and
they
have
made
their
Priviledges
so
big
swoln
,
that
they
seem
to
have
quite
swallowed
up
both
the
Kings
Prerogatives
,
and
those
of
the
Lords
:
These
are
the
Grandees
,
and
Sages
of
the
times
,
though
most
of
them
have
but
crack'd
braines
and
crazy
fortunes
God
wot
;
Nay
som
of
them
are
such
arrand
Knaves
and
coxcombs
,
that
't
is
questionable
whether
they
more
want
common
honesty
,
or
common
sense
;
nor
know
no
more
what
belongs
to
tru
policy
then
the
left
leg
of
a
joynt-stool
:
They
are
grown
so
high
a
tiptoes
,
that
they
seem
to
scorn
an
Act
of
Amnestia
,
or
any
grace
from
their
King
,
wheras
som
of
them
deserve
to
be
hang'd
as
oft
as
they
have
haires
upon
their
heads
;
nor
have
they
any
more
care
of
the
common
good
of
England
then
they
have
of
Lapland
,
so
they
may
secure
their
own
persons
,
and
continue
their
Power
now
,
Authority
is
sweet
,
though
it
be
in
Hell.
Thus
,
my
Lord
,
is
England
now
govern'd
,
so
that
't
is
an
easie
thing
to
take
a
prospect
of
her
ruine
if
she
goes
on
this
pace
:
The
Scot
is
now
the
swaying
man
,
who
is
the
third
time
struck
into
her
bowels
with
a
numerous
Army
:
They
say
he
hath
vow'd
never
to
return
till
he
hath
put
the
Crown
on
the
Kings
head
,
the
Scept●…r
in
his
hand
,
and
the
sword
by
his
side
;
if
he
do
so
,
it
will
be
the
best
thing
that
ever
he
did
,
though
som
think
that
he
will
never
be
able
to
do
England
as
much
good
as
he
hath
done
her
hurt
;
He
hath
extremely
out-witted
the
English
of
late
years
:
And
they
who
were
the
causers
of
his
first
and
last
coming
in
,
I
hold
to
be
the
most
pernicious
Enemies
that
ever
this
Nation
had
;
for
t
is
probable
that
Germany
(
viz.
Ponterland
and
Breme
)
will
be
sooner
free
of
the
Swed
,
then
England
of
the
Scot
,
who
will
stick
close
unto
him
like
a
bur
,
that
he
cannot
shake
him
off
;
He
is
becom
already
Master
of
the
Englishmans
soul
,
by
imposing
a
Religion
upon
him
,
and
he
may
hereafter
be
master
of
his
body
.
Your
Eminence
knows
there
is
a
periodicall
fate
hangs
over
all
Kingdoms
after
such
a
revolution
of
time
,
and
rotation
of
fortunes
wheele
;
the
cours
of
the
world
hath
bin
for
one
Nation
,
like
so
many
nailes
,
to
thrust
out
another
;
But
for
this
Nation
,
I
observe
by
conference
with
divers
of
the
saddest
and
best
weighdst
men
among
them
,
that
the
same
presages
foretell
their
ruine
as
did
the
Israelites
of
old
,
which
was
a
murmuring
against
their
Governors
;
It
is
a
long
time
that
both
Iudges
,
Bishops
and
privy
Counsellors
have
bin
mutter'd
at
,
whereof
the
first
shold
be
the
oracles
of
the
Law
,
the
other
of
the
Gospell
,
the
last
of
State-affaires
,
and
that
our
judgments
shold
acquiesce
upon
theirs
;
Here
as
I
am
inform'd
;
't
was
common
for
evry
ignorant
client
to
arraign
his
Iudg
;
for
evry
puny
Curat
to
censure
the
Bishop
;
for
evry
shallow-brain
home-bred
fellow
to
descant
upon
the
results
of
the
Councell
Table
:
and
this
spirit
of
contradiction
and
contumacy
hath
bin
a
long
time
fomenting
in
the
minds
of
this
peeple
,
infus'd
into
them
principally
,
by
the
Puritanicall
Faction
.
Touching
the
second
of
the
three
aforesaid
(
I
mean
Bishops
)
they
are
grown
so
odious
(
principally
for
their
large
demeanes
)
among
this
peeple
,
as
the
Templers
were
of
old
,
and
one
may
say
it
is
a
just
judgment
fallen
upon
them
,
for
they
were
most
busy
in
demolishing
Convents
and
Monasteries
,
as
these
are
in
destroying
Cathedralls
and
Ministers
;
But
above
all
,
it
hath
bin
observ'd
that
this
peeple
hath
bin
a
long
time
rotten-hearted
towards
the
splendor
of
the
Court
,
the
glory
of
their
King
,
and
the
old
establish'd
Government
of
the
land
:
'T
is
true
there
were
a
few
small
leakes
sprung
in
the
great
vessel
of
the
St●…te
,
(
and
what
vessel
was
ever
so
●…ite
but
was
subject
to
leakes
?
)
but
these
wise-akers
in
stopping
of
one
have
made
a
hundred
:
Yet
if
this
Kings
raign
were
parallell'd
to
that
of
Queen
Elizabeth's
,
who
was
the
greatest
Minion
of
a
peeple
that
ever
was
,
one
will
find
that
she
stretch'd
the
Prerogative
much
further
;
In
her
time
as
I
have
read
in
the
Latin
Legend
of
her
life
,
som
had
their
hands
cut
off
for
only
writing
against
her
matching
with
the
Duke
of
Aniou
,
others
were
hang'd
at
Tyburn
for
traducing
her
government
;
she
pardon'd
thrice
as
many
Roman
Priests
as
this
King
did
,
she
pass'd
divers
Monopolies
,
she
kept
an
Agent
at
Rome
,
she
sent
her
Sergeant
at
Armes
to
pluck
out
a
Member
then
sitting
in
the
House
of
Commons
by
the
eares
,
and
clapt
him
in
prison
;
she
call'd
them
sawcy
fellowes
to
meddle
with
her
Prerogative
,
or
with
the
government
of
her
houshold
,
she
mannag'd
all
forren
affaires
,
specially
the
warrs
with
Ireland
soly
by
her
privy
Counsell
;
yet
there
was
no
murmuring
at
her
raign
,
and
the
reason
I
conceave
to
be
,
that
there
was
neither
Scot
or
Puritan
had
then
any
stroke
in
England
.
Yet
,
for
all
their
disobedience
and
grumblings
against
their
Liege
Lord
the
King
,
this
peeple
are
exactly
obedient
to
their
new
Masters
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
though
they
sit
there
but
as
their
Servants
and
entitle
themselfs
so
;
and
also
though
in
lieu
of
the
small
scratches
which
England
might
happily
have
receiv'd
before
(
all
which
the
King
had
cur'd
)
these
new
masters
have
made
such
deep
gashes
in
her
,
and
given
her
such
deadly
wounds
that
I
believe
are
incurable
.
My
Lord
,
I
find
by
my
researches
,
that
there
are
two
great
Idolls
in
this
Kingdom
,
the
greatest
that
ever
were
,
they
are
the
Parliament
and
the
Pulpit
;
t
is
held
High
treson
to
speak
against
the
one
,
and
the
whole
body
of
Religion
is
nailed
unto
the
other
,
for
there
is
no
devotion
here
at
all
but
preaching
,
which
God
wot
is
little
better
then
prating
.
The
abuse
of
these
two
hath
bin
the
source
of
all
the
distempers
which
now
raign
:
touching
the
latter
,
it
hath
serv'd
as
a
subvervient
Engin
to
prop
up
the
power
and
popularity
of
the
first
;
these
malicious
Pulpit-men
breath
out
nothing
thence
but
either
sedition
,
schisme
or
blasphemy
:
poor
shallow
brain'd
Sciolists
,
they
wold
question
many
things
in
the
old
Testament
,
and
find
Apocrypha
in
the
New
:
And
such
is
the
violence
wherewith
the
minds
of
men
and
women
are
transported
towards
these
Preachmen
,
and
no
other
part
of
devotion
besides
,
that
in
all
probability
they
will
in
time
take
a
surfet
of
them
:
so
that
give
this
giddy
peeple
line
enough
ther
will
be
no
need
of
Catholique
Arms
to
reduce
them
to
the
Apostolick
Church
,
they
will
in
time
pave
the
way
to
it
themselves
,
and
be
glad
to
return
to
Rome
to
find
out
a
Religion
again
.
There
was
here
before
,
as
I
am
informed
,
a
kind
of
a
face
of
a
Church
,
there
were
some
solemnities
,
venerations
and
decencies
us'd
that
a
man
might
discover
som
piety
in
this
peeple
;
there
was
a
publick
Lyturgie
that
in
pithy
Pathetical
prayers
reach'd
all
occasions
;
the
Sacraments
were
administred
with
som
reverence
,
their
Churches
were
kept
neat
and
comly
;
but
this
nasty
race
of
miscreants
have
nothing
at
all
of
sweetnesse
,
of
piety
and
devotion
in
them
;
't
is
all
turn'd
to
a
fatuous
kind
of
zeal
after
more
learning
,
as
if
Christianity
had
no
sobriety
,
consistence
or
end
of
knowledg
at
all
:
These
silly
things
,
to
imitat
the
Apostles
time
,
wold
have
the
same
form
of
discipline
to
govern
whole
Nations
,
as
it
did
a
chamberfull
of
men
in
the
infancy
of
the
Church
,
they
wold
make
the
same
coat
serve
our
Savious
at
30.
yeers
,
which
fitted
him
at
three
:
'T
is
incredible
how
many
ugly
sorts
of
heresies
they
daily
hatch
,
but
they
are
most
of
them
old
ones
newly
furbish'd
;
they
all
relate
to
Aerius
,
a
perfect
hater
of
Bishops
,
because
he
could
not
be
one
himself
.
The
two
Sectaries
which
sway
most
,
are
the
Presbyterians
and
Independents
,
the
Presbyterian
is
a
spawn
of
a
Puritan
,
and
the
Independent
a
spawn
of
the
Presbyterian
:
there
's
but
one
hop
'twixt
the
first
and
a
Iew
,
and
but
half
a
hop
'twixt
the
other
and
an
Infidell
;
they
are
both
opposit
to
Monarchy
and
Hierarchy
;
and
the
latter
wold
have
no
Government
at
all
,
but
a
parity
and
promiscuous
confusion
,
a
race
of
creatures
fit
only
to
inhabit
Hell
:
and
one
of
the
fruits
of
this
blessed
Parlement
,
and
of
these
two
Sectaries
is
,
that
they
have
made
more
Jewes
and
Athiests
then
I
think
there
is
in
all
Europe
besides
;
but
truly
,
my
Lord
,
I
think
the
judgments
of
Heaven
were
never
so
visible
in
any
part
of
the
Earth
,
as
they
are
now
here
,
for
there
is
Rebell
against
Rebell
,
House
against
House
,
Cittie
against
Army
,
Parlement
against
Scot
,
but
these
two
Sectaries
,
I
mean
the
Presbyterian
and
Independent
who
were
the
fire-brands
that
put
this
poor
Iland
first
in
a
flame
,
are
now
in
most
deadly
feud
one
against
the
other
,
though
they
both
concur
in
this
to
destroy
government
:
And
if
the
King
had
time
enough
to
look
only
upon
them
,
they
would
quickly
hang
,
draw
,
and
destroy
one
another
.
But
indeed
all
Christian
Princes
shold
observe
the
motions
and
successes
of
these
two
unlucky
Incendiaries
,
for
if
they
shold
ligue
together
again
,
(
as
they
have
often
plaid
fast
and
loose
one
with
another
)
and
prevail
here
,
this
Iland
wold
not
terminat
their
designs
,
they
wold
puzzle
all
the
world
besides
.
Their
Preachmen
ordinarily
cry
out
in
the
Pulpit
,
ther
is
a
great
work
to
be
done
upon
earth
,
for
the
reforming
all
mankind
,
and
They
are
appointed
by
Heaven
to
be
the
chief
Instruments
of
bringing
it
about
▪
They
have
already
bin
so
busie
abroad
,
that
(
with
vast
sommes
of
money
)
they
brought
the
Swed
upon
the
Dane
,
and
the
very
Savages
upon
the
English
Cavaliers
in
Virginia
;
and
could
they
confederat
with
Turk
,
or
Tartar
,
or
Hell
it self
against
them
,
they
wold
do
it
:
they
are
monstrously
puff'd
up
with
pride
,
that
they
stick
not
to
call
themselfs
Conquerors
,
and
one
of
the
chief
ringleaders
of
them
,
an
ignorant
home
bred
kind
of
Brewer
,
was
not
ashamed
to
vant
it
publiquely
in
the
Commons
House
,
that
if
he
had
but
20000.
men
,
he
wold
undertake
to
march
to
Constantinople
,
and
pull
the
Ottoman
Emperour
out
of
the
Seralio
.
Touching
the
other
grand
Idoll
the
Parlement
,
't
is
true
that
the
primitive
constitution
of
Parlement
in
this
Iland
was
a
wholesom
piece
of
policy
,
because
it
kept
a
good
correspondence
,
and
clos'd
all
ruptures
'twixt
the
King
and
his
peeple
,
but
this
thing
they
call
Parlement
now
,
may
rather
be
term'd
a
cantle
of
one
,
or
indeed
a
Conventicle
of
Schismatiques
,
rather
than
a
great
Counsell
;
't
is
like
a
kind
of
headless
Monster
,
or
som
estropiated
carkas
;
for
ther
is
neither
King
nor
Prelat
,
nor
scarce
the
seventh
part
of
Peers
and
Commons
,
no
not
the
twelfth
part
fairly
elected
;
nevertheless
they
draw
the
peeple
,
specially
this
City
,
like
so
many
stupid
animalls
,
to
adore
them
.
Yet
though
this
institution
of
Parlement
be
a
wholsom
thing
in
it self
,
there
is
in
my
judgment
a
great
incongruity
in
one
particular
;
and
I
believe
it
hath
bin
the
cause
of
most
distempers
;
it
is
,
That
the
Burgesses
are
more
in
number
than
the
Knights
of
the
Shires
;
for
the
Knights
of
the
Shires
are
commonly
Gentlemen
well
born
,
and
bred
,
and
vers'd
in
the
Laws
of
the
Land
,
as
well
as
forren
Governments
,
(
divers
of
them
)
but
the
Burgesses
of
Towns
are
commonly
Tradesmen
,
and
being
bred
in
Corporations
they
are
most
of
them
inclining
to
Puritanism
,
and
consequently
to
popular
Government
;
These
Burgesses
exceeding
the
Knights
in
number
,
carry
all
before
them
by
plurality
of
Voices
,
and
so
puzzle
all
:
And
now
that
▪
I
have
mentioned
Corporations
,
I
must
tell
your
Lordship
,
that
the
greatest
soloecism
in
the
policy
of
this
Kingdom
,
is
the
number
of
them
;
especially
this
monstrous
City
,
which
is
compos'd
of
nothing
els
but
of
Corporations
;
and
the
greatest
errors
that
this
King
,
specially
his
Father
,
committed
,
was
to
suffer
this
Town
to
spread
her
wings
so
wide
▪
for
she
bears
no
proportion
with
the
bignes
of
the
Iland
,
but
may
fit
a
Kingdom
thrice
as
spacious
;
she
engrosseth
and
dreins
all
the
wealth
and
strength
of
the
Kingdom
;
so
that
I
cannot
compare
England
more
properly
than
to
one
of
our
Cremona
geese
,
where
the
custom
is
to
fatten
only
the
heart
,
but
in
doing
so
the
whole
body
growes
lank
.
To
draw
to
a
conclusion
,
This
Nation
is
in
a
most
sad
and
desperat
condition
,
that
they
deserve
to
be
pittied
,
and
preserved
from
sinking
,
and
having
cast
the
present
state
of
things
and
all
interests
into
an
equal
balance
,
I
find
,
my
Lord
,
ther
be
three
ways
to
do
it
,
one
good
,
and
two
bad
.
1.
The
first
of
the
bad
ones
is
the
Sword
▪
which
is
one
of
the
scourges
of
heaven
,
especially
the
Civill
sword
.
2.
The
second
bad
one
is
the
Treaty
,
which
they
now
offer
the
King
in
that
small
Island
wher
he
hath
bin
kept
Captif
so
long
,
(
〈◊〉
which
quality
the
world
will
account
him
still
while
he
is
detain'd
there
)
and
by
tha●…
Treaty
to
bind
him
as
fast
as
they
can
,
an●…
not
trust
him
at
all
.
3.
The
good
way
is
,
in
a
free
confiding
brave
way
(
Englishmen-like
)
to
send
for
their
King
to
London
,
where
City
and
Country
shold
Petition
him
to
summon
a
new
and
free
full
Parlement
,
which
he
may
do
as
justly
as
ever
he
did
thing
in
his
life
,
these
men
having
infring'd
as
well
all
the
essentiall
Priviledges
of
Parlement
,
as
every
puntillio
of
it
,
for
they
have
often
risen
up
in
a
confusion
without
adjournment
,
they
had
two
Speakers
at
once
,
they
have
most
perjuriously
and
beyond
all
imagination
betrayed
the
trust
both
King
and
Country
repos'd
in
them
,
subverted
the
very
sundamentals
of
all
Law
,
and
plung'd
the
whole
Kingdom
in
this
bottomless
gulf
of
calamities
:
another
Parlement
may
haply
do
som
good
to
this
languishing
Island
,
and
cure
her
convulsions
,
but
for
these
men
that
arrogat
to
themselfs
the
name
of
Parlement
(
by
a
local
puntillio
only
because
they
never
stir'd
from
the
place
where
they
have
bin
kept
together
by
meer
force
)
I
find
them
by
their
actions
to
be
so
pervers
,
so
irrational
and
refractory
,
so
far
given
over
to
a
reprobat
sense
,
so
fraught
with
rancor
,
with
an
irreconcileable
malice
and
thirst
of
bloud
,
that
England
may
well
despaire
to
be
heal'd
by
such
Phlebotomists
,
or
Quack-salvers
;
be
sides
they
are
so
full
of
scruples
,
apprehensions
,
and
jealousies
proceeding
from
blac●…
guilty
souls
,
and
gawl'd
consciences
,
that
they
will
do
nothing
but
chop
Logic
with
their
King
,
and
spin
out
time
to
continue
their
power
,
and
evade
punishment
,
which
they
think
is
unavoidable
if
ther
shold
be
a
free-Parlement
.
Touching
the
King
he
comports
himself
with
an
admired
temper'd
equanimity
,
he
invades
and
o're-masters
them
more
and
more
in
all
his
answers
by
strength
of
reson
,
though
he
have
no
soul
breathing
to
consult
withall
,
but
his
own
Genius
:
he
gains
wonderfully
upon
the
hearts
and
opinion
of
his
peeple
,
and
as
the
Sun
useth
to
appear
bigger
in
winter
,
and
at
his
declension
in
regard
of
the
interposition
of
certain
meteors
'twixt
the
eye
of
the
beholder
and
the
object
,
so
this
King
being
thus
o're-clouded
and
declined
,
shines
far
more
glorious
in
the
eyes
of
his
people
;
and
certainly
these
high
morall
vertues
of
constancy
,
courage
and
wisdom
come
from
above
;
and
no
wonder
,
for
Kings
as
they
are
elevated
above
all
other
peeple
and
stand
upon
higher
ground
,
they
sooner
receive
the
inspirations
of
heaven
;
nor
doth
he
only
by
strength
of
reason
out
〈◊〉
them
,
but
he
wooes
them
by
gentlenesse
and
mansuetude
;
as
the
Gentleman
of
Paris
who
having
an
Ape
in
his
house
that
had
taken
his
only
child
out
of
the
cradle
,
and
dragged
him
up
to
the
ridge
of
the
house
,
the
parent
with
ruthful
he
art
charmed
the
Ape
by
fair
words
and
other
bland●…ments
to
bring
him
softly
down
,
which
he
did
;
England
may
be
said
to
be
now
just
upon
such
a
precipice
,
ready
to
have
her
braines
dash'd
out
,
and
I
hope
these
men
will
not
be
worse
natur'd
then
that
brute
animal
,
but
will
save
her
.
Thus
have
I
given
your
Eminence
a
rough
account
of
the
state
of
this
poor
and
pittifully
deluded
peeple
,
which
I
will
perfect
when
I
shall
come
to
your
presence
,
which
I
hope
will
be
before
this
Autumnal
Equinox
;
I
thought
to
have
sojourn'd
here
longer
,
but
that
I
am
grown
weary
of
the
clime
,
for
I
fear
there
's
the
other
two
scourges
of
heaven
that
menace
this
Island
,
I
mean
the
famin
and
pestilence
,
especially
this
City
,
for
their
prophanness
,
rebellion
,
and
sacriledge
▪
It
hath
bin
a
talk
a
great
while
whether
Anti-Christ
be
come
to
the
world
or
no
,
I
am
sure
Anti-Iesus
,
which
is
worse
,
is
among
this
people
,
for
they
hold
all
veneration
,
though
voluntary
proceeding
from
the
inward
motions
of
a
sweet
devoted
soul
,
and
causing
an
outward
genuflection
,
to
be
superstitious
,
insomuch
that
one
of
the
Synodical
Saints
here
printed
and
published
a
Book
entitling
it
against
Iesu
Worship
.
So
in
the
profoundest
posture
of
reverence
I
kisse
your
vest
,
as
being
,
London
this
12
,
of
August
,
1647.
My
Lord
,
Your
Eminences
most
humbly
devoted
,
I.
H.
A
NOCTURNAL
PROGRES
,
OR
A
PERAMBULATION
Of
most
COUNTREYS
IN
CHRISTENDOM
,
Perform'd
in
one
night
by
strength
of
the
Imagination
;
Which
progresse
terminats
in
these
North-West
Iles
,
And
declares
the
woful
Confusions
They
are
involv'd
at
present
.
The
progress
of
the
Soul
by
an
usuall
DREAM
.
IT
was
in
the
dead
of
a
long
Winter
night
,
when
no
eyes
were
open
but
Watchmens
and
Centinels
,
that
I
was
fallen
soundly
asleep
,
the
Cinq-out-Ports
were
shut
up
closer
then
usually
,
for
my
senses
were
so
trebly
lock'd
,
that
the
Moon
,
had
she
descended
from
her
watry
Orb
,
might
have
done
much
more
to
me
then
she
did
to
Endymion
when
he
lay
snoaring
upon
the
brow
of
Latmus
Hill
;
nay
,
(
be
it
spoken
without
prophanenesse
)
if
a
rib
had
bin
taken
out
of
me
that
night
,
to
have
made
a
new
mo●…
of
a
woman
,
I
shold
hardly
have
felt
it
.
Yet
,
though
the
Cousin
German
of
death
had
so
strongly
seiz'd
thus
upon
the
exterior
parts
of
this
poor
Tabernacle
of
flesh
,
my
inward
parts
were
never
more
actif
,
and
fuller
of
employments
then
they
were
that
night
.
Pictus
imaginibus
,
formisque
fugacib●…
adstat
Morpheus
,
&
variis
fingit
nova
vultibus
ora
.
Methought
my
soul
made
a
sally
abroad
into
the
world
,
and
fetch'd
a
vast
compas
;
she
seem'd
to
soar
up
and
slice
the
air
to
cross
seas
,
to
clammer
up
huge
Hills
,
and
never
rested
till
she
had
arriv'd
at
the
Antipodes
:
Now
som
of
the
most
judicious
Geometricians
and
Chorographers
hold
that
the
whole
Mass
of
the
Earth
being
round
like
the
rest
of
her
fellow
Elements
,
ther
be
places
,
and
poizing
parts
of
the
Continent
,
ther
be
Peninsulas
,
Promontories
and
Ilands
upon
the
other
face
of
the
Earth
that
correspond
and
concenter
with
all
those
Regions
and
Iles
that
are
upon
this
superficies
which
we
read
,
Countries
that
symbolize
with
them
in
qualities
,
in
temperature
of
air
and
clime
,
as
well
as
in
nature
of
soil
;
The
Inhabitants
also
of
those
places
which
are
so
perpendicularly
opposit
,
do
sympathize
one
with
another
in
disposition
,
complexions
and
humors
,
though
the
Astronomers
wold
have
their
East
to
be
our
West
,
and
so
all
things
vice
versa
in
point
of
position
,
which
division
of
the
Heaven
is
onely
mans
institution
.
But
to
give
an
account
of
the
strange
progresse
my
soul
made
that
night
;
the
first
Country
she
lighted
on
was
a
very
low
flat
Country
,
and
it
was
such
an
odde
amphibious
Country
,
being
so
indented
up
and
down
with
Rivers
and
arms
of
the
sea
,
that
I
made
a
question
whether
I
shold
call
it
Water
or
Land
;
yet
though
the
Sea
be
invited
and
usher'd
in
into
som
places
,
he
is
churlistly
pen'd
out
in
som
other
,
so
that
though
he
foam
and
swell
,
and
appear
as
high
Walls
hard-by
,
yet
they
keep
him
out
,
maugre
all
his
roaring
and
swelling
.
As
I
wandred
up
and
down
in
this
Watry
Region
,
I
might
behold
from
a
streight
long
Dike
wheron
I
stood
,
a
strange
kind
of
Forrest
,
for
the
trees
mov'd
up
and
down
;
they
look'd
afar
off
as
if
they
had
bin
blasted
by
thunder
;
for
they
had
no
leafs
at
all
;
but
making
a
nearer
approach
unto
them
,
I
found
they
were
a
nomberlesse
company
of
Ship-Masts
,
and
before
them
appear'd
a
great
Town
(
Amsterdam
)
incorporated
up
and
down
with
Water
;
As
I
mus'd
with
my self
upon
the
sight
of
all
this
,
I
concluded
,
that
the
Inhabitants
of
that
Country
were
notable
industrious
people
,
who
could
give
Law
so
to
the
angry
Ocean
,
and
occupie
those
places
where
the
great
Leviathan
shold
tumble
and
take
his
pastime
in
;
As
my
thought
ran
thus
,
I
met
with
a
man
,
whom
I
conjectur'd
to
be
'twixt
a
Marchant
and
a
Mariner
,
his
salutation
was
so
homely
;
the
air
also
was
so
foggy
,
that
methought
it
stuck
like
cobwebs
in
his
Mustachos
;
and
he
was
so
dull
in
point
of
motion
,
as
if
the
bloud
in
his
veines
had
bin
half
frozen
:
I
began
to
mingle
words
with
him
,
and
to
expostulat
somthing
about
that
Country
and
people
;
and
then
I
found
a
great
deal
of
down-right
civilities
in
him
:
He
told
me
that
they
were
the
only
men
who
did
miracles
of
late
years
;
Those
innumerable
piles
of
stones
you
see
before
you
in
such
comly
neat
frabriques
,
is
a
place
(
said
he
)
that
from
a
Fish
-
Market
in
effect
is
come
to
be
one
of
the
greatest
Marts
in
this
part
of
the
world
,
which
hath
made
her
swel
thrice
bigger
the●…
she
was
50.
years
ago
;
and
as
you
behold
this
floating
Forrest
of
Masts
before
her
mole
,
so
if
you
could
see
the
foundations
of
her
houses
,
you
shold
see
another
great
Forrest
,
being
rear'd
from
under-ground
upon
fair
piles
of
timber
,
which
if
they
chance
to
sink
in
this
Marshy
soil
,
we
have
an
art
to
scrue
them
up
again
.
We
have
for
70.
years
and
above
without
any
intermission
,
except
a
short-liv'd
truce
that
once
was
made
,
wrastled
with
one
of
the
greatest
Potentates
upon
Earth
,
and
born
up
stoutly
against
him
,
gramercy
our
two
next
neighbour
Kings
,
and
their
Reason
of
State
,
with
the
advantage
of
our
situation
.
We
have
fought
our selfs
into
a
free-State
,
and
now
quite
out
of
that
ancient
allegeance
we
ow'd
him
;
and
though
we
pay
twenty
times
more
in
taxes
of
all
sorts
then
we
did
to
him
,
yet
we
are
contented
:
We
have
turn'd
war
into
a
Trade
,
and
that
which
useth
to
beggar
others
,
hath
benefited
us
:
Besides
,
we
have
bin
and
are
still
the
rendevous
of
most
discontented
Subjects
,
when
by
the
motions
of
unquiet
consciences
in
points
of
Religion
,
or
by
the
fury
of
the
sword
,
they
are
forc'd
to
quit
their
own
Countreys
,
who
bring
their
arts
of
Manufacture
,
and
moveables
,
hither
;
Insomuch
that
our
Lombards
are
full
of
their
goods
,
and
our
banks
superabound
with
their
gold
and
silver
which
they
bring
hither
in
specie
.
To
secure
our selfs
,
and
cut
the
Enemy
more
work
,
and
to
engage
our
Confederats
in
a
war
with
him
,
we
have
kindled
fires
in
every
corner
,
and
now
that
they
are
together
by
the
Eares
,
we
have
bin
content
lately
,
being
long
woo'd
thereunto
,
to
make
a
peace
with
that
King
to
whom
we
once
acknowledged
vassalage
;
which
King
out
of
a
height
of
spirit
,
hath
spent
500.
times
more
upon
us
for
our
reduction
,
then
all
our
Country
is
worth
;
But
now
he
hath
bin
well
contented
to
renounce
and
abjure
all
claimes
and
rights
of
Soverainity
over
us
;
In
so
much
,
that
being
now
without
an
enemy
,
we
hope
in
a
short
time
to
be
masters
of
all
the
comerce
in
this
part
of
the
world
,
and
to
eat
our
Neighbours
out
of
trade
in
their
own
Commodities
:
We
fear
nothing
but
that
exces
of
Wealth
,
and
a
surfet
of
ease
may
make
us
careles
and
breed
quarrells
among
our selfs
,
and
that
our
Generall
,
being
married
to
a
great
Kings
daughter
may
—
.
Here
he
suddenly
broke
the
threed
of
his
discourse
,
and
got
hastily
away
,
being
haul'd
by
a
ship
that
was
sailing
hard
by
▪
Hereupon
my
soul
took
wing
again
,
and
cut
her
way
through
that
foggy
condens'd
aire
,
till
she
lighted
on
a
fair
spacious
,
cleare
Continent
,
a
generous
and
rich
Soile
mantled
up
and
downe
with
large
woods
,
where
,
as
I
rang'd
to
and
fro
,
I
might
see
divers
faire
Houses
,
Townes
,
Palaces
and
Castles
,
looking
like
so
many
Carkases
,
for
no
humane
soul
appear'd
in
them
;
methought
I
felt
my
he
art
melting
within
me
in
a
soft
resentment
of
the
case
of
so
gallant
a
Countrey
,
and
as
I
stood
at
amaze
,
and
in
a
kind
of
astonishment
,
a
goodly
personage
makes
towards
me
,
whom
both
for
his
comportment
,
and
countenance
,
I
perceiv'd
to
be
of
a
finer
mould
then
that
companion
I
had
met
withall
before
:
by
the
trace
of
his
looks
I
guessed
he
might
be
som
Nobleman
that
had
bin
ruin'd
by
som
disaster
:
having
acosted
him
with
a
fitting
distance
,
he
began
in
a
masculin
strong
winded
language
full
of
aspirations
and
tough
collision
of
Consonants
,
to
tell
me
as
followeth
:
Sir
,
I
find
you
are
a
stranger
in
this
Countrey
,
because
you
stand
so
agast
at
the
devastations
of
such
a
fair
piece
of
the
Continent
,
then
know
Sir
,
because
I
beleeve
you
are
curious
to
carry
away
with
you
the
causes
thereof
,
that
these
ruthfull
objects
which
you
behold
,
are
the
effects
of
a
long
lingring
war
,
and
of
the
fury
of
the
Sword
,
a
cruentous
civill
War
that
hath
rag'd
here
above
thirty
yeares
:
one
of
the
grounds
of
it
was
the
infortunate
undertaking
of
a
Prince
,
who
liv'd
not
far
off
in
an
affluence
of
all
earthly
felicity
;
he
had
the
greatest
Lady
to
his
wife
,
the
bes●…
purse
of
money
,
the
fairest
Stable
of
horse
▪
and
choicest
Library
of
books
of
any
other
of
his
neighbour
Princes
.
But
being
by
desperat
and
aspiring
counsells
put
upon
a
Kingdom
,
while
he
was
catching
at
the
shadow
of
a
Crown
,
he
lost
the
substance
of
all
his
own
ancient
possessions
:
by
the
many
powerfull
alliances
he
had
(
which
was
the
cause
he
was
pitched
upon
)
the
fewd
continued
long
;
for
among
others
a
Northern
King
took
advantage
to
rush
in
,
who
did
a
world
of
mischiefs
,
but
in
a
few
yeers
that
King
and
Hee
found
their
graves
in
their
own
ruins
neer
upon
the
same
time
;
but
now
,
may
heaven
have
due
thanks
for
it
,
there
is
a
peace
concluded
,
a
peace
which
hath
bin
14.
long
yeers
a
moulding
,
and
will
I
hope
,
be
shortly
put
in
execution
;
yet
't
is
with
this
fatall
disadvantage
,
that
the
said
Northern
people
,
besides
a
masse
of
ready
money
we
are
to
give
them
,
are
to
have
firme
footing
,
and
a
warm
nest
ever
in
this
Countrey
hereafter
,
so
that
I
fear
we
shall
hear
from
them
too
often
:
upon
these
words
this
noble
personage
fetch'd
a
deep
sigh
,
but
in
such
a
generous
manner
that
he
seem'd
to
break
and
check
it
before
it
came
halfe
forth
.
Thence
my
soul
taking
her
flight
o're
divers
huge
and
horrid
cacuminous
mountaines
(
the
Alpes
)
at
last
I
found
my self
in
a
great
populous
Town
(
Naples
)
but
her
buildings
were
miserably
battered
up
and
down
,
she
had
a
world
of
Palaces
,
Castles
,
Convents
and
goodly
Churches
:
as
I
stepped
out
of
curiosity
into
one
of
them
,
upon
the
West
side
there
was
a
huge
Grate
,
where
a
creature
all
in
white
beckned
at
me
,
making
my
approach
to
the
Grate
,
I
found
her
to
be
a
Nun
,
a
lovely
creature
she
was
,
for
I
could
not
distinguish
which
was
whiter
,
her
hue
or
her
habit
,
which
made
me
remember
(
though
in
a
dream
my self
)
that
saying
,
If
Dreams
and
wishes
had
been
tru
,
there
had
not
been
found
a
tru
maid
to
make
a
Nun
of
,
ever
since
a
Cloyster'd
life
began
first
among
women
;
I
asked
her
the
reason
how
so
many
ugly
devastations
shold
befall
so
beautifull
a
City
,
she
in
a
dolorous
gentle
tone
,
and
ruthfull
accents
,
the
teares
trickling
down
her
cheeks
like
so
many
pearles
,
(
such
pearly
teares
that
wold
have
dissolv'd
a
Diamond
)
sobb'd
out
unto
me
this
speech
:
Gentle
Sir
,
't
is
far
beyond
any
expressions
of
mine
,
and
indeed
beyond
humane
imagination
to
conceive
the
late
calamities
which
have
befallen
this
faire
though
infortunat
City
,
a
pernicious
popular
Rebellion
broke
out
here
upon
a
sudden
into
most
horrid
barbarismes
,
a
Fate
that
hangs
over
most
rich
popular
places
that
swim
in
luxe
and
plenty
;
but
touching
the
grounds
thereof
,
one
may
say
that
rebellion
entred
into
this
City
,
as
sin
first
entred
into
the
world
by
an
apple
:
For
our
King
now
in
his
great
extremities
having
almost
halfe
the
world
banding
against
him
;
and
putting
but
a
small
tax
upon
a
basket
of
fruit
to
last
only
for
a
time
,
this
fruit-tax
did
put
the
peeples
teeth
so
on
edge
,
that
it
made
them
gnash
against
the
Government
,
and
rush
into
Armes
;
but
they
are
sensible
now
of
their
own
follies
,
for
I
think
never
any
place
suffered
more
in
so
short
a
time
:
the
civill
combustions
abroad
in
other
Kingdomes
may
be
said
to
be
but
small
squibs
compar'd
to
those
horrid
flakes
of
fire
which
have
rag'd
here
,
and
much
adoe
we
had
to
keep
our
Vest
all
fire
free
from
the
fury
of
it
:
in
lesse
then
the
revolution
of
a
yeer
it
consum'd
above
fourscore
thousand
soules
within
the
walls
of
this
City
;
But
't
is
not
the
first
time
of
forty
,
that
this
luxurious
foolish
peeple
hath
smarted
for
their
insurrections
and
insolencies
,
and
that
this
mad
horse
hath
o'rethrown
his
Rider
,
and
drawn
a
worse
upon
his
back
;
who
instead
of
a
saddle
,
put
a
pack-saddle
and
Panniers
upon
him
:
but
indeed
the
voluptuousnesse
of
this
peeple
was
grown
ripe
for
the
judgement
of
heaven
.
She
was
then
beginning
to
expostulat
with
me
about
the
state
of
my
Country
,
and
I
had
a
mighty
mind
to
satisfie
her
,
for
I
could
have
corresponded
with
her
in
the
re●…ation
of
as
strange
things
,
but
the
Lady
A●…adesse
calling
her
away
,
she
departed
in
an
●…nstant
,
obedience
seem'd
to
be
ther
so
precise
and
punctual
.
I
steer'd
my
course
thence
through
a
most
delicious
Country
to
another
City
that
lay
in
the
very
bosom
of
the
Sea
,
(
Venice
)
she
was
at
first
nothing
els
but
a
kind
of
posie
made
up
of
dainty
green
Hillocks
,
tied
together
by
above
400.
bridges
,
and
so
coagulated
into
a
curious
City
;
though
she
be
espous'd
to
Neptune
very
solemnly
once
evry
●…eer
,
yet
she
still
reserves
her
maydenhead
,
●…ad
bears
the
title
of
the
Virgin
City
in
that
part
of
the
world
;
But
I
found
her
tugging
mainly
with
a
huge
Giant
that
wold
ravish
her
;
He
hath
shrewdly
set
on
her
skirts
,
and
a
great
shame
it
is
,
that
she
is
not
now
assisted
by
her
Neighbours
,
and
that
they
shold
be
together
by
the
ears
when
they
shold
do
so
necessary
a
work
,
considering
how
that
great
Giant
is
their
common
Enemy
;
and
hath
lately
vow'd
seven
yeers
wars
against
her
;
specially
considering
,
that
if
he
comes
once
to
ravish
her
,
he
will
quickly
ruin
her
said
Neighbours
,
She
(
to
her
high
honor
be
it
spoken
)
being
their
only
rampart
against
the
incursion
of
the
said
Giant
,
and
by
consequence
their
greatest
security
.
From
this
Maiden
City
,
mee
thought
,
I
was
in
a
trice
carried
over
a
long
gulf
,
and
so
through
a
Midland
Sea
,
into
another
Kingdom
,
(
Spain
)
where
I
felt
the
Clime
hotter
by
some
Degrees
;
a
rough-hew'n
soile
,
for
the
most
part
,
it
was
full
of
craggy
barren
hills
;
but
where
there
were
valleys
and
water
enough
,
the
country
was
extraordinarily
fruitful
,
whereby
nature
(
it
seems
)
made
her
a
compensation
for
the
sterility
of
the
rest
.
Yet
notwithstanding
the
hardship
of
the
soyl
,
I
found
her
full
of
Abbeys
,
Monasteries
,
Hermitages
,
Convents
,
Churches
,
and
other
places
of
devotion
;
as
I
rov'd
there
a
while
,
I
encountred
a
grave
man
in
a
long
black
cloak
,
by
the
fashion
whereof
,
and
by
the
brimms
of
his
hat
,
I
perceived
him
to
be
a
Iesuit
;
I
clos'd
with
him
,
and
question'd
him
about
that
Country
:
He
told
me
the
King
of
that
Country
was
the
greatest
Potentat
of
that
part
of
the
world
;
and
,
to
draw
power
to
a
greater
unity
,
they
of
our
Order
could
be
well
contented
,
that
he
were
universall
Head
over
Temporalls
,
because
't
is
most
probable
to
be
effected
by
him
,
as
we
have
already
one
universall
Head
over
Spiritualls
:
This
is
the
Monark
of
the
Mines
,
I
mean
of
Gold
and
Silver
,
who
furnishes
all
the
world
,
but
most
of
all
his
own
enemies
with
mony
,
which
mony
foments
all
the
wars
in
this
part
of
the
world
:
Never
did
any
earthly
monark
thrive
so
much
in
so
short
a
tract
of
time
,
But
of
late
yeers
he
hath
been
ill-favouredly
shaken
by
the
revolt
and
utter
defection
of
two
sorts
of
Subjects
,
who
are
now
in
actual
arms
against
him
on
both
sides
of
him
at
his
own
doors
.
Ther
hath
bin
also
a
long
deadly
feud
'twixt
the
next
tramontan
Kingdom
(
France
)
and
him
,
though
the
Q.
that
rules
there
be
his
own
sister
,
an
unnaturall
odious
thing
:
But
it
seems
God
Almighty
hath
a
quarrel
of
late
yeers
with
all
earthly
Potentats
;
for
in
so
short
a
time
ther
never
happen'd
such
strange
shocks
and
revolutions
:
The
great
Emperour
of
Ethiopia
hath
bin
outed
,
he
and
all
his
children
by
a
petty
companion
:
The
King
of
China
,
a
greater
Emperour
than
he
,
hath
lost
almost
all
that
huge
Monarchy
by
the
incursion
of
the
Tartar
,
who
broke
ore
the
wall
upon
him
:
The
grand
Turk
hath
bin
strangled
,
with
30.
of
his
Concubines
;
The
Emperour
of
Muscovy
hath
bin
content
to
beg
his
life
of
his
own
vassals
,
and
to
see
before
his
face
divers
of
his
chief
Officers
hack'd
to
pieces
,
and
their
heads
cut
off
and
steep'd
in
strong
water
,
to
make
them
burn
more
bright
in
the
market
place
.
Besides
the
above
mentioned
,
this
King
hath
also
divers
enemies
more
,
yet
he
bears
up
against
them
all
indifferently
well
,
though
with
infinit
expence
of
treasure
,
and
the
Church
,
specially
our
Society
,
hath
stuck
close
unto
him
in
these
his
exigents
:
whence
may
be
inferr'd
,
that
let
men
repine
as
long
as
they
will
at
the
possessions
of
the
Church
,
they
are
the
best
anchors
to
a
State
in
a
storm
,
and
in
time
of
need
to
preserve
it
from
sinking
;
besides
,
acts
of
charity
wold
be
quite
lost
among
men
,
did
not
the
wealth
of
the
Church
keep
life
in
them
:
Hereupon
drawing
a
huge
pair
of
Beads
from
under
his
cloak
,
he
began
to
ask
me
of
my
Religion
;
I
told
him
I
had
a
long
journy
to
go
,
so
that
I
could
not
stay
to
wait
on
him
longer
;
so
we
parted
,
and
me
thought
I
was
very
glad
to
be
rid
of
him
so
well
.
My
soul
then
made
another
flight
over
an
Assembly
of
hideous
high
hills
,
(
Pyreneys
)
and
lighted
under
another
Clime
,
on
a
rich
and
copious
Country
(
France
)
resembling
the
form
of
a
Lozenge
,
but
me
thought
,
I
never
saw
so
many
poor
peeple
in
my
life
;
I
encountred
a
Pesan
,
and
asked
him
what
the
reason
was
,
that
ther
shold
be
so
much
poverly
in
a
Country
wher
ther
was
so
much
plenty
:
Sir
,
they
keep
the
Commonalty
poor
in
pure
policy
here
,
for
being
a
peeple
,
as
the
world
observes
us
to
be
,
that
are
more
humerous
than
others
,
and
that
love
variety
and
change
,
if
we
were
suffered
to
be
pamper'd
with
wealth
,
we
wold
ever
and
anon
rise
up
in
tumults
,
and
so
this
Kingdom
shold
never
be
quiet
,
but
subject
to
intestine
broils
,
and
so
to
the
hazard
of
any
invasion
:
But
ther
was
of
late
a
devillish
Cardinal
,
whose
humour
being
as
sanguin
as
his
habit
,
and
working
upon
the
weaknes
of
his
Master
,
hath
made
us
not
only
poor
,
but
stark
beggars
,
and
we
are
like
to
continue
so
by
an
eternal
war
,
wherein
he
hath
plung'd
this
poor
Kingdom
,
which
war
must
be
maintained
with
our
very
vital
spirits
:
but
as
dejected
and
indigent
as
we
are
,
yet
upon
the
death
of
that
ambitious
Cardinal
,
we
had
risen
up
against
This
,
who
hath
the
Vogue
now
,
(
with
whom
he
hath
left
his
principles
)
had
not
the
fearful
example
of
our
next
transmarin
Western
neighbours
(
the
English
)
and
the
knowledg
we
have
of
a
worse
kind
of
slavery
,
of
those
endles
arbitrary
taxes
,
and
horrid
confusions
they
have
fool'd
themselfs
lately
into
,
utterly
deterr'd
us
,
though
we
have
twenty
times
more
reason
to
rise
then
ever
they
had
:
yet
our
great
City
(
Paris
)
hath
shew'd
her
teeth
,
and
gnash'd
them
ill-favouredly
of
late
,
but
we
find
she
hath
drawn
water
only
for
her
own
Mill
,
we
fare
little
the
better
,
yet
we
hope
it
will
conduce
to
peace
,
which
hath
bin
so
long
in
agitation
.
I
cannot
remember
how
I
parted
with
that
Peasan
,
but
in
an
instant
I
was
landed
upon
a
large
Island
,
and
methought
,
't
was
the
temperat'st
Region
I
had
bin
in
all
the
while
(
England
;
)
the
heat
of
the
Sun
ther
is
as
harmless
as
his
light
,
the
evening
serene●…
are
as
wholsom
ther
as
the
morning
dew
;
the
Dog-daies
as
innocuous
as
any
of
the
two
Equinoxes
.
As
I
rang'd
to
and
fro
that
fair
Island
,
I
spyed
a
huge
City
(
London
)
whose
length
did
far
exceed
her
latitude
,
but
ne●…ther
for
length
or
latitude
did
she
seem
to
bear
any
politicall
proportion
with
that
Island
:
she
look'd
,
methought
,
like
the
Iesuits
hat
whom
I
had
met
withall
before
,
whose
brimms
were
bigger
then
the
crown
,
or
like
a
peticoat
,
whose
fringe
was
longer
then
the
body
.
As
I
did
cast
my
eyes
upwards
,
methought
I
discern'd
a
strange
inscription
in
the
aire
which
hung
just
over
the
midst
of
that
City
written
in
such
huge
visible
characters
,
that
any
one
might
have
read
it
,
which
was
this
:
Woe
be
to
the
bloudy
City
.
Hereupon
a
reverend
Bishop
presented
himself
to
my
view
,
his
gray
haires
,
and
grave
aspect
struck
in
me
an
extraordinary
reverence
of
him
:
so
performing
those
complements
which
were
fitting
,
I
asked
him
of
the
condition
of
the
place
,
he
in
a
submiss
sad
tone
,
with
clouds
of
melancholy
waving
up
and
down
his
looks
,
told
me
;
Sir
this
Island
was
reputed
few
years
since
to
have
bin
in
the
completest
condition
of
happiness
of
any
part
on
earth
,
insomuch
that
she
was
repin'd
a●…
for
her
prosperity
and
peace
by
all
her
neighbours
who
were
plung'd
in
war
round
about
her
,
but
now
she
is
fallen
into
as
deep
a
gulf
of
misery
,
and
servitude
,
as
she
was
in
a
height
of
felicity
&
freedom
before
:
Touching
the
grounds
of
this
change
,
I
cannot
impute
it
to
any
other
then
to
a
surfet
of
happiness
;
now
,
there
is
no
surfet
so
dangerous
as
that
of
happinesse
:
Ther
are
such
horrid
divisions
here
,
that
if
they
were
a
foot
in
hell
,
they
were
able
to
destroy
the
Kingdom
of
Satan
:
truly
Sir
,
ther
are
crep'd
in
more
opinions
among
us
about
matters
or
Religion
,
then
the
Pagans
had
of
old
of
the
Summum
bonum
,
which
Varro
saith
were
300.
the
understandings
of
poor
men
were
never
so
puzzled
and
distracted
;
a
great
while
there
were
two
opposit
powers
(
King
and
Parlement
)
who
swayed
here
in
a
kind
of
equality
that
peeple
knew
not
whom
to
obey
,
many
thousands
complyed
with
both
,
as
the
men
of
Calecut
who
adore
God
and
the
Devil
,
Tantum
Squantum
,
as
it
is
in
the
Indian
language
)
They
adore
the
one
for
love
,
the
other
for
fear
:
ther
is
a
monstrous
kind
of
wild
liberty
here
that
ever
was
upon
earth
;
That
which
was
complained
of
as
a
stalking
horse
to
draw
on
our
miseries
at
first
,
is
now
only
in
practice
,
which
is
meer
arbitrary
rule
;
for
now
both
Law
,
Religion
and
Allegiance
are
here
arbitrary
:
Touching
the
last
,
't
is
quite
lost
,
't
is
permitted
that
any
may
prate
,
preach
or
print
what
they
will
in
derogation
of
their
annointed
King
:
which
word
King
was
once
a
Monosyllable
of
som
weight
in
this
I
le
,
but
't
is
as
little
regarded
now
as
the
word
Pope
(
among
som
)
which
was
also
a
mighty
Monosyllable
once
among
us
:
the
rule
of
the
Law
is
,
that
the
King
can
do
no
wrong
,
ther
is
a
contrary
rule
now
crept
in
,
that
the
King
can
receive
no
wrong
;
and
truly
Sir
,
't
is
a
great
judgement
both
upon
Prince
and
peeple
;
upon
the
one
,
that
the
love
of
so
many
of
his
vassals
shold
be
so
alienated
from
him
;
upon
the
other
,
that
their
hearts
shold
be
so
poyson'd
,
and
certainly
't
is
the
effect
of
an
ill
spirit
;
both
the
one
and
the
other
in
all
probability
tend
to
the
ruine
of
this
Kingdom
.
But
now
Sir
,
(
because
I
see
you
are
so
attentive
,
and
seem
to
be
much
mov'd
at
this
Discourse
)
as
I
have
discover'd
unto
you
the
general
cause
of
our
calamities
,
which
was
not
only
a
satiety
but
a
surfet
of
happinesse
,
so
I
will
descend
now
to
a
particular
cause
of
them
;
it
was
a
Northern
Nation
(
Scot
)
that
brought
these
cataracts
of
mischiefs
upon
us
;
and
you
know
the
old
saying
,
Out
of
the
North
All
ill
comes
forth
.
Far
be
it
from
me
to
charge
the
whole
Nation
herewith
;
no
,
but
onely
som
pernicious
Instruments
that
had
insinuated
themselfs
,
and
incorporated
among
us
,
and
sway'd
both
in
our
Court
and
Counsels
:
They
had
a
hand
in
every
Monopoly
;
they
had
out
of
our
Exchequer
,
and
Customs
near
upon
400000.
Crowns
in
yearly
Pensions
,
viis
&
modis
;
yet
they
could
not
be
content
,
but
they
must
puzzle
the
peace
and
policy
of
this
Church
and
State
:
and
though
they
are
a
peeple
of
a
differing
Genius
,
differing
Laws
,
Customs
,
and
Manners
unto
us
,
yet
for
matter
of
conscience
they
wold
bring
our
necks
into
their
yoak
,
as
if
they
had
a
greater
talent
of
reason
,
and
clearer
illuminations
,
as
if
they
understood
Scripture
better
,
and
were
better
acquainted
with
God
Almighty
then
we
,
who
brought
them
first
from
Paganisme
to
Christianity
,
and
also
to
be
reformed
Christians
:
but
it
seems
,
matters
have
little
thriven
with
them
;
nay
the
visible
hand
of
heaven
hath
bin
heavily
upon
them
divers
waies
since
they
did
lift
their
hands
against
their
native
King
;
For
notwithstanding
the
vast
summs
they
had
hence
,
yet
is
the
generality
of
them
as
beggarly
as
ever
they
were
;
besides
,
the
Civil
Sword
hath
rag'd
ther
as
furiously
as
here
,
and
did
as
much
execution
among
them
.
Moreover
the
Pestilence
hath
bin
more
violent
,
and
sweeping
in
their
chief
Town
(
Edenburgh
)
then
ever
it
was
since
they
were
a
peeple
.
And
now
lately
ther
's
the
notablest
dishonour
befaln
them
that
possibly
could
light
upon
a
Nation
,
in
that
7000.
of
ours
shold
upon
even
ground
encounter
,
kill
,
slay
,
rout
and
utterly
discomfit
thrice
as
many
of
theirs
,
though
as
well
appointed
and
arm'd
as
men
could
be
:
And
truly
Sir
,
the
advantages
that
accrue
to
this
Nation
are
not
a
few
by
that
exploit
;
For
of
late
years
that
Nation
was
cryed
up
abroad
to
be
a
more
Martial
peeple
then
we
,
and
to
have
baffled
us
in
open
field
in
divers
traverses
:
besides
,
I
hope
a
small
matter
will
pay
now
their
Arrerages
here
,
and
elsewhere
;
but
principally
,
I
hope
they
will
not
be
so
busie
hereafter
in
our
Court
and
Counsel
,
as
they
have
bin
formerly
.
Another
cause
of
our
calamity
is
a
strange
race
of
peeple
(
the
Puritans
)
sprung
up
among
our selfs
,
who
were
confederat
with
those
of
the
North
;
they
wold
make
Gods
House
cleane
,
and
by
putting
out
the
candle
of
all
ancient
learning
and
knowledge
,
they
would
sweep
it
only
by
the
light
of
an
Ignis
fatuus
:
but
't
is
visibly
found
that
they
have
brought
much
more
rubbage
into
it
,
and
wheras
in
reforming
this
house
,
they
shold
rather
find
out
the
groat
that
is
lost
,
they
go
about
to
take
away
the
mite
that
's
left
,
and
so
put
Christs
Spouse
to
live
on
meer
almes
:
True
it
is
,
there
is
a
kind
of
zeal
that
burns
in
them
,
(
and
I
could
wish
there
were
so
much
piety
)
but
this
zeal
burns
with
too
much
violence
and
presumption
,
which
is
no
good
symptom
of
spirituall
health
,
it
being
a
rule
,
that
as
the
naturall
heat
,
so
the
spirituall
shold
be
moderat
,
els
it
commonly
turns
to
a
frenzy
,
and
that
is
the
thing
which
causeth
such
a
giddinesse
and
distraction
in
their
braines
;
This
(
proceeding
from
the
suggestions
of
an
ill
spirit
)
puffs
them
up
with
so
much
spirituall
pride
;
for
the
Devill
is
so
cunning
a
Wrastler
,
that
he
oftentimes
lifts
men
up
to
give
them
the
greater
fall
:
they
think
they
have
an
inerring
spirit
,
and
that
their
Diall
must
needs
go
tru
,
howsoever
the
Sun
goes
:
they
wold
make
the
Gospell
,
as
the
Caddies
make
the
Alchoran
,
to
decide
all
civill
temporall
matters
under
the
large
notion
of
slander
,
whereof
they
forsooth
to
be
the
Judges
,
and
so
in
time
to
hook
in
all
things
to
their
Classis
:
I
believe
if
these
men
were
dissected
when
they
are
dead
,
they
would
be
a
great
deale
of
Quicksilver
found
in
their
braines
.
Proh
Superi
,
quantum
mortalia
pectora
coecae
Noctis
habent
!
—
But
I
could
pitty
the
giddinesse
of
their
braines
,
had
they
not
so
much
gaul
in
their
breasts
,
were
they
not
so
thirsting
after
blood
,
so
full
of
poison
and
irreconcileable
malice
;
in
so
much
that
it
may
be
very
well
thought
,
these
men
are
a
kin
to
that
race
which
sprung
out
of
the
Serpents
teeth
:
these
are
they
which
have
seduced
our
great
Counsell
,
and
led
this
foolish
City
by
the
nose
to
begin
and
foment
this
ugly
War
,
insomuch
that
if
those
numberless
bodies
which
have
perish'd
in
these
commotions
,
were
cast
into
her
streets
,
and
before
her
doores
,
many
thousand
Citizens
noses
would
bleed
of
pure
guilt
.
Not
to
hold
you
long
,
these
are
the
men
who
have
baffled
common
sence
,
blasted
the
beams
of
nature
,
and
offered
violence
to
reason
it self
;
these
are
they
who
have
infatuated
most
of
the
peeple
of
this
Iland
;
so
that
whereas
in
times
past
,
som
call'd
her
the
I
le
of
Angels
,
she
may
be
term'd
now
the
I
le
of
Gulls
,
or
more
properly
the
I
le
of
Doggs
,
or
rather
indeed
●…he
I
le
of
Wolfs
,
there
is
such
a
true
Lycanthrepy
com
in
among
us
:
I
am
loth
to
call
her
the
Iland
of
Devills
,
though
she
hath
bin
branded
so
abroad
.
To
conclude
Sir
,
the
glory
of
this
Isle
is
quite
blasted
;
't
is
tru
they
speak
of
peace
,
but
while
the
King
speakes
to
them
of
it
,
they
make
themselves
ready
for
battle
;
I
much
fear
,
that
Ixion-like
we
imbrace
a
cloud
for
peace
,
out
of
which
there
will
issue
out
Centaures
,
and
Monsters
,
as
sprung
out
of
that
cloud
.
Touching
that
ancient'st
holy
Order
whereof
you
see
me
to
be
;
I
well
hoped
,
that
in
regard
they
pretended
to
reforme
things
only
,
they
wold
not
have
quite
extirpated
,
but
regulated
only
this
Order
:
it
had
bin
enough
to
brayle
our
wings
,
not
to
have
●…ear'd
them
:
to
have
lopp'd
and
prun'd
,
not
to
have
destroyed
root
and
branch
of
that
ancient
tree
which
was
planted
by
the
hands
of
the
Apostles
themselfs
:
In
fine
Sir
,
we
are
a
lost
peeple
,
't
is
no
other
Dedalus
,
but
the
high
Deity
of
heaven
can
clue
us
out
of
this
labyrinth
of
confusions
,
can
extricat
us
out
of
this
maze
of
miseries
:
the
Philosopher
saith
,
't
is
impossible
for
man
to
quadrat
a
Circle
;
so
't
is
not
in
the
power
of
man
,
but
of
God
alone
,
to
make
a
loyall
Subject
of
a
Round
head
:
Among
other
things
that
strangers
report
of
this
Iland
,
they
say
that
Winter
here
hath
too
many
teares
in
his
eyes
:
Helas
Sir
,
't
is
impossible
he
shold
have
too
many
now
,
to
bewaile
the
lamentable
base
slavery
,
that
a
free-born
peeple
is
com
to
:
and
though
they
are
grown
so
tame
as
to
kisse
the
rod
that
whips
them
,
yet
their
Taskmasters
will
not
throw
it
into
the
fire
.
Truly
Sir
,
as
my
tongue
is
too
feeble
to
expresse
our
miseries
,
so
the
plummet
of
the
best
understanding
is
too
short
to
fadom
the
depth
of
them
.
With
this
,
the
grave
Venerable
Bishop
giving
me
his
benediction
,
fetcht
such
a
sigh
,
that
would
have
rended
a
rock
asunder
;
and
suddenly
vanish'd
(
methought
)
out
out
of
my
sight
up
towards
Heaven
.
I
presently
after
awoke
about
the
dawnings
of
the
day
,
when
one
could
hardly
discern
Dog
from
Wolf
;
and
my
soul
,
my
Arimula
vagula
blandula
,
being
re-entred
through
the
Horn
gate
of
sleep
into
her
former
mansion
,
half
tyr'd
after
so
long
a
Peregrination
;
and
having
rub'd
my
eyes
,
distended
my
limms
,
and
return'd
to
a
full
expergefaction
,
I
began
to
call
my self
to
account
touching
those
world
of
objects
my
fancy
had
represented
unto
me
that
night
;
and
when
by
way
of
reminiscence
I
fel
to
examin●…
and
ruminate
upon
them
;
Lord
,
what
a
masse
of
Ideas
ran
in
my
head
!
but
when
I
call'd
to
mind
the
last
Countrey
my
soul
wandred
in
,
methought
I
felt
my
heart
like
a
lump
of
lead
within
me
,
when
I
considered
how
pat
every
circumstance
might
be
applyed
to
the
present
condition
of
England
:
I
was
meditating
with
my self
what
kind
of
dream
this
might
be
;
wherupon
I
thought
upon
the
common
division
that
Philosophers
make
of
dreams
,
that
they
are
either
Divine
,
Diabolicall
,
Naturall
,
or
Humane
.
For
the
first
,
they
are
Visions
more
properly
or
Revelations
,
wherof
ther
are
divers
examples
in
the
holy
Oracles
of
God
,
but
the
puddled
cranies
of
my
brain
are
not
rooms
clean
enough
to
entertain
such
:
Touching
the
second
kind
,
which
come
by
the
impulses
of
the
Devil
,
I
have
heard
of
divers
of
them
,
as
when
one
did
rise
up
out
of
his
sleep
,
and
fetcht
a
poyniard
to
stab
his
bed-fellow
,
which
he
had
done
,
had
he
not
bin
awake
;
Another
went
to
the
next
chamber
abed
to
his
mother
,
and
wold
have
ravish'd
her
;
but
I
thank
God
this
dream
of
mine
was
not
of
that
kind
.
Touching
the
third
species
of
dreams
;
which
are
naturall
dreams
,
they
are
according
to
the
humor
which
predominats
;
if
Melancholy
sway
,
we
dream
of
black
darksom
devious
places
;
if
Phlegm
,
of
waters
;
if
Choler
,
of
frayes
,
fightings
,
and
troubles
;
if
Sanguin
predominat
,
we
dream
of
green
fields
,
gardens
,
and
other
pleasant
representations
;
and
the
Physitian
comes
often
to
know
the
quality
of
a
disease
by
the
nocturnal
objects
of
the
patients
fancy
.
Humane
dreams
the
last
sort
relate
to
the
actions
of
the
day
past
,
or
of
the
day
following
,
and
som
representations
are
clear
and
even
;
others
are
amphibious
,
mongrell
,
distorted
and
squalid
objects
,
(
according
to
the
species
of
trees
over
troubled
waters
:
)
and
the
object
is
clear
or
otherwise
,
accorning
to
the
tenuity
or
grossenesse
of
the
vapors
which
ascend
from
the
ventricle
up
to
the
brain
.
Touching
my
Dream
,
I
think
it
was
of
this
last
kind
;
for
I
was
discoursing
of
,
and
condoling
the
sad
distempers
of
our
times
the
day
before
:
I
pray
God
som
part
of
it
prove
not
propheticall
;
for
,
although
the
Frenchman
sayeth
,
Songes
sont
Mensonges
,
dreames
are
delusions
,
and
that
they
turn
to
contraries
,
yet
the
Spaniard
hath
a
saying
,
Et
ciego
sonnava
que
via
Yera
lo
que
querria
.
The
blind
man
dreamt
he
did
see
light
,
The
thing
he
wish'd
for
happen'd
right
.
Insomuch
that
some
Dreams
oftentimes
prove
tru
;
as
S.
Austin
makes
mention
of
a
rich
Merchant
in
Milan
,
who
being
dead
,
one
of
his
Creditors
comes
to
his
son
to
demand
such
a
sum
of
money
which
he
had
lent
his
father
;
the
son
was
confident
't
was
paid
,
but
not
finding
the
Creditors
Receipt
,
he
was
impleaded
and
like
to
be
cast
in
the
Sute
,
had
not
his
fathers
Ghost
appeared
to
him
,
and
directed
him
to
the
place
where
the
Acquittance
was
,
which
he
found
the
next
day
accordingly
.
Galen
speaks
of
one
that
dreamt
he
had
a
wooden
leg
,
and
the
next
day
he
was
taken
with
a
dead
Palsie
in
one
whole
side
.
Such
a
Dream
was
that
of
William
Rufus
,
when
he
thought
he
had
felt
a
cold
gust
passing
through
his
bowels
;
and
the
next
day
he
was
slain
in
the
guts
,
by
the
glance
of
an
arrow
,
in
new
Forrest
,
a
place
where
he
and
his
Father
had
committed
so
many
Sacrileges
.
I
have
read
in
Artimedorus
,
of
a
woman
that
dreamt
she
had
seen
the
pictures
of
three
faces
in
the
Moone
like
her self
,
and
she
was
brought
to
bed
of
three
daughters
a
little
after
,
who
all
died
within
the
compas
of
a
moneth
.
Another
dreamt
,
that
Xanthus
water
ran
red
,
and
the
next
day
he
fell
a
spitting
of
blood
.
To
this
I
will
add
another
fore-telling
Dream
,
whereof
I
have
read
,
which
was
thus
:
two
young
Gentlemen
being
travelling
abroad
in
strange
Countreyes
,
and
being
come
to
a
great
towne
,
the
one
lay
far
in
the
Citie
,
the
other
in
an
Hostry
without
the
wall
in
the
Suburbs
:
he
in
the
City
did
dream
in
the
dead
of
night
,
that
his
friend
which
he
had
left
in
the
Suburbs
rush'd
into
his
chamber
panting
and
blowing
,
being
pursued
by
others
;
he
dreamt
so
againe
,
and
the
third
time
he
might
see
his
friends
Ghost
appearing
at
his
beds
side
with
bloud
trickling
down
his
throat
,
and
a
Poyniard
in
his
brest
,
telling
him
,
Dear
friend
,
I
am
come
now
to
take
my
last
farewell
of
thee
,
and
if
thou
rise
betimes
,
thou
shalt
meet
me
in
the
way
going
to
be
buryed
;
the
next
morning
his
friend
going
with
his
Host
towards
the
Inn
in
the
Suburbs
wher
he
left
his
friend
,
they
met
with
a
Cart
laden
with
dung
in
the
way
,
which
being
staid
and
search'd
,
the
dead
body
was
found
naked
in
the
dung
.
I
will
conclude
with
a
notable
Dream
that
Osman
the
Great
Turk
had
not
many
years
since
,
a
few
days
before
he
was
murthered
by
his
Janizaries
,
1623.
He
dreamt
,
that
being
mounted
upon
a
huge
Camel
,
he
could
not
make
him
go
,
though
he
switch'd
and
spur'd
him
never
so
much
;
at
last
the
Camel
overthrew
him
,
and
being
upon
the
ground
,
only
the
bridle
was
left
in
his
hand
,
but
the
body
of
the
Camel
was
vanished
:
the
Mufti
not
being
illuminated
enough
to
interpret
this
Dream
,
a
Santon
who
was
a
kind
of
Idiot
,
told
him
,
the
Camel
represented
the
Ottoman
Empire
,
which
he
not
being
able
to
govern
,
he
shold
be
o'rethrown
,
which
two
dayes
after
proved
tru
.
By
these
,
and
a
cloud
of
examples
more
,
we
may
conclude
,
that
Dreams
are
not
altogether
impertinent
,
but
somthing
may
be
gathered
out
of
them
;
though
the
application
and
meaning
of
them
be
denyed
to
man
,
unless
by
special
illumination
.
Somnia
venturi
sunt
praescia
saepe
diei
.
By
Dreams
we
oft
may
guesse
At
the
next
dayes
successe
.
THus
have
you
a
rough
account
of
a
rambling
Noctivagation
up
and
down
the
world
:
I
may
boldly
say
,
that
neither
Sir
Iohn
Mandevile
,
or
Coryat
himself
travell'd
more
in
so
short
a
time
:
whence
you
see
what
nimble
Postillions
the
Animal
Spirits
are
;
and
with
what
incredible
celerity
the
imagination
can
crosse
the
Line
,
cut
the
Tropiques
,
and
pass
to
the
other
Hemisphere
of
the
world
;
which
shews
that
humane
souls
have
somthing
in
them
of
the
Almighty
,
that
their
faculties
have
a
kind
of
ubiquitary
freedom
,
though
the
body
be
never
so
under
restraint
,
as
the
Authors
is
.
They
erre
as
much
who
think
all
Dreams
false
,
As
They
who
think
Them
alwayes
tru

A
VINDICATION
OF
HIS
MAJESTY
,
Touching
a
Letter
He
writ
to
Rome
from
the
Court
of
Spain
,
in
Answer
to
a
Letter
which
Pope
Gregory
the
15th
.
had
sent
Him
upon
passing
the
Dispensation
for
concluding
the
Match
with
the
I●…fanta
.
Which
Letter
Mr.
Pryn
mention's
in
his
Book
call'd
the
Popish
Royal
Favorit
,
wherby
the
World
is
apt
to
beleeve
that
His
Majesty
had
Inclinations
to
Pope●…y
.
Ther
goe's
also
herewith
,
A
clearing
of
som
Aspersions
that
the
said
Mr.
Pryn
cast's
upon
the
Author
hereof
in
the
same
Pamphlet
,
viz.
That
he
was
a
Malignant
,
and
no
friend
to
Parlements
.
WHERBY
,
He
takes
occasion
to
speak
somthing
of
the
first
Rise
,
And
also
of
the
Duty
as
well
as
the
Authority
of
Parlements
.
To
my
worthily
honor'd
friend
Sir
W.
S.
Knight
.
SIR
,
I
Have
many
thanks
to
give
you
for
the
Book
you
pleased
to
send
me
,
called
the
Popish
Royal
Favorite
;
and
according
to
your
advice
(
which
I
value
in
a
high
degree
)
I
did
put
pen
to
paper
,
and
somthing
you
may
see
I
have
done
(
though
in
a
poor
pamphleting
way
)
to
clear
my self
of
those
aspersions
that
seem
to
be
cast
upon
His
Majesty
;
But
truly
Sir
,
I
was
never
so
unfit
for
such
a
task
;
all
my
Papers
,
Manuscripts
,
and
Notes
having
bin
long
since
seized
upon
and
kept
from
me
:
Adde
hereunto
,
that
besides
this
long
pressure
and
languishment
of
close
restraint
(
the
sense
wherof
I
find
hath
much
stupified
my
spirits
)
it
pleased
God
to
visit
me
lately
with
a
dangerous
fit
of
sickness
,
a
high
burning
fever
,
with
the
new
disease
,
wherof
my
Body
as
well
as
my
Mind
is
yet
somwhat
crazie
:
so
that
(
take
all
afflictions
together
)
I
may
truly
say
,
I
have
passed
the
Ordeal
,
the
fiery
Tryal
.
But
it
hath
pleased
God
to
reprieve
me
to
see
better
daies
I
hope
;
for
out
of
this
fatal
black
Cloud
,
which
now
ore-sets
this
poor
Island
,
I
hope
ther
will
break
a
glorious
Sun-shine
of
peace
and
firm
happinesse
:
To
effect
which
,
had
I
a
Jury
,
a
grand-Jury
of
lives
,
I
wold
sacrifice
them
all
,
and
triumph
in
the
oblation
.
So
I
most
affectionately
kiss
your
hands
,
and
rest
Your
faithfull
(
though
afflicted
)
Servant
,
From
the
Prison
of
the
Fleet.

The
Pre-eminence
,
and
Duty
OF
PARLEMENT
.
Sectio
Prima
.
I
Am
a
Free-born
Subject
of
the
Realm
of
England
;
wherby
I
claim
as
my
native
Inheritance
,
an
undoubted
right
,
propriety
,
and
portion
in
the
Laws
of
the
Land
:
And
this
distinguisheth
me
from
a
slave
.
I
claim
likewise
protection
from
my
Soverain
Prince
,
who
as
He
is
my
Liege
Lord
is
obliged
to
protect
me
,
and
I
being
one
of
His
Liege
peeple
am
obliged
to
obey
Him
by
way
of
Reciprocation
;
I
claim
also
an
interest
and
common
right
in
the
High
National
Court
of
Parlement
,
and
in
the
power
,
the
priviledges
and
jurisdiction
therof
,
which
I
put
in
equal
ballance
with
the
Laws
,
in
regard
it
is
the
fountain
whence
they
spring
;
and
this
I
hold
also
to
be
a
principall
part
of
my
Birth-right
;
which
Great
Councell
I
honour
,
respect
,
value
,
and
love
in
as
high
a
degree
as
can
be
,
as
being
the
Bulwark
of
our
liberties
,
the
main
boundary
and
bank
which
keeps
us
from
slavery
,
from
the
inundations
of
tyrannicall
Rule
,
and
unbounded
Will-government
.
And
I
hold
my self
obliged
in
a
tye
of
indispensable
obedience
,
to
conform
and
submit
my self
to
whatsoever
shall
be
transacted
,
concluded
,
and
constituted
by
its
authority
in
Church
or
State
with
the
Royal
assent
,
whether
it
be
by
making
,
enlarging
,
altering
,
diminishing
,
disanulling
,
repealing
,
or
reviving
of
any
Law
,
Statute
,
Act
,
or
Ordinance
whatsoever
,
either
touching
matters
Ecclesiastical
,
civil
,
common
,
capital
,
criminall
,
martial
,
maritime
,
municipall
,
or
any
other
;
of
all
which
the
transcendent
and
uncontrollable
jurisdiction
of
that
Court
is
capable
to
take
cognizance
.
Amongst
the
three
things
which
the
Athenian
Captain
thank'd
the
gods
for
,
one
was
,
That
he
was
born
a
Grecian
,
and
not
a
Barbarian
;
For
such
was
the
vanity
of
the
Greeks
,
and
after
them
of
the
Romans
in
the
flourish
of
their
Monarchy
,
to
arrogat
all
civility
to
themselves
,
and
to
terme
all
the
world
besides
Barbarians
:
so
I
may
say
to
rejoyce
,
that
I
was
born
a
vassall
to
the
Crown
of
England
;
that
I
was
born
under
so
well-moulded
and
tempered
a
Government
,
which
endows
the
subject
with
such
Liberties
and
infranchisements
that
bear
up
his
naturall
courage
,
and
keep
him
still
in
heart
;
such
Liberties
that
fence
and
secure
him
eternally
from
the
gripes
and
tallons
of
Tyranny
:
And
all
this
may
be
imputed
to
the
Authority
and
wisedome
of
this
High
Court
of
Parlement
,
wherein
there
is
such
a
rare
co-ordination
of
power
(
though
the
Soveraignty
remain
still
entire
,
and
untransferrable
in
the
person
of
the
Prince
)
there
is
such
a
wholsom
mixture
'twixt
Monarchy
,
Optimacy
,
and
Democracy
,
'twixt
Prince
,
Peers
,
and
Commonalty
,
during
the
time
of
consultation
,
that
of
so
many
distinct
parts
,
by
a
rare
co-operation
and
unanimity
they
make
but
one
Body
Politick
,
(
like
that
shea●…e
of
arrows
in
the
Emblem
)
one
entire
concentricall
peece
,
the
King
being
still
the
Head
,
and
the
results
of
their
deliberations
but
as
so
many
harmonious
diapasons
arising
from
different
strings
.
And
what
greater
immunity
and
happinesse
can
there
be
to
a
Peeple
,
than
to
be
liable
to
no
Laws
but
what
they
make
themselves
?
to
be
subject
to
no
contribution
,
assessement
,
or
any
pecuniary
erogations
whatsoever
,
but
what
they
Vote
,
and
voluntarily
yeeld
unto
themselves
?
For
in
this
compacted
Politick
Body
,
there
be
all
degrees
of
peeple
represented
;
both
the
Mechanick
,
Tradesman
,
Merchant
,
and
Yeoman
have
their
inclusive
Vote
,
as
well
as
the
Gentry
,
in
the
persons
of
their
Trustees
,
their
Knights
and
Burgesses
,
in
passing
of
all
things
.
Nor
is
this
Soveraign
Surintendent
Councell
an
Epitome
of
this
Kingdom
only
,
but
it
may
be
said
to
have
a
representation
of
the
whole
Universe
;
as
I
heard
a
fluent
well-worded
Knight
deliver
the
last
Parliameut
,
who
compared
the
beautifull
composure
of
that
High
Court
to
the
great
work
of
God
,
the
World
it self
:
The
King
is
as
the
Sun
,
the
Nobles
the
fixed
Stars
,
the
Itineant
judges
and
other
Officers
(
that
go
upon
Messages
'twixt
both
Houses
)
to
the
Planets
;
the
Clergy
,
to
the
Element
of
fire
;
the
Commons
,
to
the
solid
Body
of
Earth
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Elements
.
And
to
pursue
this
comparison
a
little
farther
;
as
the
heavenly
Bodies
,
when
three
of
them
meet
in
Conjunction
,
do
use
to
produce
some
admirable
effects
in
the
Elementary
World
;
So
when
these
three
States
convene
and
assemble
in
one
solemne
great
Iunta
,
some
notable
and
extraordinary
things
are
brought
forth
,
tending
to
the
welfare
of
the
whole
Kingdom
our
Microcosme
.
HE
that
is
never
so
little
versed
in
the
Annals
of
this
I
le
,
will
find
that
it
hath
bin
her
fate
to
be
four
times
conquered
,
I
exclude
the
Scot
for
the
scituation
of
his
Country
,
and
the
Quality
of
the
Clime
hath
been
such
an
advantage
and
security
to
him
,
that
neither
the
Roman
Eagles
would
fly
thither
for
fear
of
freezing
their
wings
,
nor
any
other
Nation
attempt
the
work
.
These
so
many
Conquests
must
needs
bring
with
them
many
tumblings
and
tossings
,
many
disturbances
and
changes
in
Government
;
yet
I
have
observed
,
that
notwithstanding
these
tumblings
,
it
retained
still
the
forme
of
a
Monarchy
,
and
something
there
was
always
that
had
an
Analogy
with
the
great
Assembly
of
Parlement
.
The
first
Conquest
I
find
was
made
by
Claudius
Caesar
,
at
which
time
(
as
some
well
observe
)
the
Roman
Ensignes
,
and
the
Standard
of
Christ
came
in
together
:
It
is
well
known
what
Lawes
the
Roman
had
;
He
had
his
Comitia
,
which
bore
a
resemblance
with
our
Convention
in
Parlement
;
the
place
of
their
meeting
was
called
Praetorum
,
and
the
Laws
which
they
enacted
,
Plebiscita
.
The
Saxon
Conquest
succeeded
next
,
which
were
the
English
,
there
being
no
name
in
Welsh
or
Irish
for
an
English
man
,
but
Saxon
,
to
this
day
;
They
also
governed
by
Parlement
,
though
it
were
under
other
names
,
as
Michel
Sinoth
,
Michel
Gemote
,
and
Witenage
Mote
.
There
are
Records
above
a
thousand
years
old
of
these
Parlements
in
the
Reigns
of
King
Ina
,
Offa
,
Ethelbert
,
and
the
rest
of
the
seven
Kings
during
the
Heptarchy
:
The
British
Kings
also
,
who
retain'd
a
great
while
some
part
of
the
Isle
unconquered
,
governed
and
made
Laws
by
a
kind
of
Parlementary
way
;
witnesse
the
famous
Laws
of
Prince
Howell
,
called
Howell
Dha
,
(
the
good
Prince
Howell
)
whereof
there
are
yet
extant
some
British
Records
:
Parlements
were
also
used
after
the
Heptarchy
by
King
Kenulphus
,
Alphred
,
and
others
;
witnesse
that
renowned
Parliament
held
at
Grately
by
King
Athelstan
.
The
third
Conquest
was
by
the
Danes
,
and
they
govern'd
also
by
such
generall
Assemblies
,
(
as
they
do
to
this
day
)
witnesse
that
great
and
so
much
celebrated
Parlement
held
by
that
mighty
Monarch
Canutus
,
who
was
King
of
England
,
Denmark
,
Norway
,
and
other
Regions
150
years
before
the
compiling
of
Magna
Charta
;
and
this
the
learned
in
the
Laws
do
hold
to
be
one
of
the
specialst
,
and
most
authentick
peeces
of
antiquity
we
have
extant
.
Edward
the
Confessor
made
all
his
Laws
thus
,
(
and
he
was
a
great
Legis-lator
,
)
which
the
Norman
Conquerour
(
who
liking
none
of
his
sons
,
made
God
Almighty
his
heir
by
bequeathing
unto
him
this
Island
for
a
legacy
)
did
ratifie
and
establish
,
and
digested
them
into
one
entire
methodicall
Systeme
,
which
being
violated
by
Rufus
,
(
who
came
to
such
a
disastrous
end
as
to
be
shot
to
death
in
lieu
of
a
Buck
for
his
sacriledges
)
were
restor'd
by
Henry
the
first
,
and
so
they
continued
in
force
till
King
Iohn
;
whose
Reign
is
renowned
for
first
confirming
Magna
Charta
,
the
foundation
of
our
Liberties
ever
since
:
which
may
be
compar'd
to
divers
outlandish
graffes
set
upon
one
English
stock
;
or
to
a
posie
of
sundry
fragrant
flowers
;
for
the
choicest
of
the
British
,
the
Roman
,
Saxon
,
Danish
,
and
Norman
Laws
,
being
cull'd
and
pick'd
out
and
gathered
as
it
were
into
one
bundle
,
out
of
them
the
foresaid
Grand
Charter
was
extracted
;
And
the
establishment
of
this
great
Charter
was
the
work
of
a
Parliament
.
Nor
are
the
Lawes
of
this
Island
only
,
and
the
freedome
of
the
Subject
conserved
by
Parlement
,
but
all
the
best
policed
Countries
of
Europe
have
the
like
.
The
Germanes
have
their
Diets
,
the
Danes
and
Swedes
their
Rijcks
Dachs
;
the
Spaniard
calls
his
Parlement
las
Cortes
;
and
the
French
have
,
(
or
should
have
at
least
)
their
Assembly
of
three
States
,
though
it
be
growne
now
in
a
manner
obsolete
,
because
the
Authority
thereof
was
(
by
accident
)
devolv'd
to
the
King.
And
very
remarkable
it
is
,
how
this
happened
;
for
when
the
English
had
taken
such
large
footing
in
most
parts
of
France
,
having
advanced
as
far
as
Orleans
and
driven
their
then
King
Charles
the
seventh
,
to
Bourges
in
Berry
the
Assembly
of
the
three
States
in
these
pressures
,
being
not
able
to
meet
after
the
usuall
manner
in
full
Parlement
because
the
Countrey
was
unpassable
,
the
Enemy
having
made
such
firme
invasions
up
and
down
through
the
very
bowels
of
the
Kingdom
;
That
power
which
formerly
was
inhaerent
in
the
Parlementary
Assembly
,
of
making
Laws
,
of
assessing
the
Subject
with
Taxes
,
subsidiary
levies
,
and
other
impositions
,
was
transmitted
to
the
King
during
the
war
;
which
continueth
many
years
,
that
entrusted
power
by
length
of
time
grew
as
it
were
habitual
in
him
,
and
could
never
after
be
re-assumed
and
taken
from
him
;
so
that
ever
since
,
his
Edicts
countervaile
Acts
of
Parlement
.
And
that
which
made
the
businesse
more
feasable
for
the
King
,
was
,
that
the
burthen
fell
most
upon
the
Communalty
(
the
Clergy
and
Nobility
not
feeling
the
weight
of
it
)
who
were
willing
to
see
the
Peasan
pull'd
down
a
little
,
because
not
many
years
before
,
in
that
notable
Rebellion
,
call'd
la
jaquerie
de
Beauvoisin
,
which
was
suppressed
by
Charles
the
wise
,
the
Common
people
put
themselves
boldly
in
Arms
against
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
,
to
lessen
their
power
.
Adde
hereunto
as
an
advantage
to
the
work
,
that
the
next
succeeding
King
Lewis
the
eleventh
,
was
a
close
cunning
Prince
,
and
could
well
tell
how
to
play
his
game
,
and
draw
water
to
his
own
mill
;
For
amongst
all
the
rest
,
he
was
said
to
be
the
first
that
put
the
Kings
of
France
,
Hors
de
page
,
out
of
their
minority
,
or
from
being
Pages
any
more
,
though
therby
he
brought
the
poor
peasans
to
be
worse
than
Lacquays
,
and
they
may
thank
themselfs
for
it
.
Neverthelesse
,
as
that
King
hath
an
advantage
hereby
one
way
,
to
Monarchize
more
absolutely
,
and
never
to
want
money
,
but
to
ballast
his
purse
when
he
will
;
so
ther
is
another
mighty
inconvenience
ariseth
to
him
and
his
whole
Kingdom
another
way
;
for
this
peeling
of
the
Peasan
hath
so
dejected
him
,
and
cowed
his
native
courage
so
much
by
the
sense
of
poverty
(
which
brings
along
with
it
a
narrownesse
of
〈◊〉
)
that
he
is
little
usefull
for
the
war
:
which
put
's
the
French
King
to
make
other
Nations
mercenary
to
him
,
to
fill
up
his
Infantery
:
Insomuch
,
that
the
Kingdom
of
France
may
be
not
unfitly
compared
to
a
body
that
hath
all
it's
bloud
drawn
up
into
the
arms
,
breast
and
back
,
and
scarce
any
le●…t
from
the
girdle
downwards
,
to
cherish
and
bear
up
the
lower
parts
,
and
keep
them
from
starving
.
All
this
seriously
considered
,
ther
cannot
be
a
more
proper
and
pregnant
example
than
this
of
our
next
Neighbours
,
to
prove
how
infinitly
necessary
the
Parlement
is
to
assert
,
to
prop
up
and
preserve
the
publick
liberty
,
and
national
rights
of
a
peeple
,
with
the
incolumity
and
well-fare
of
a
Countrey
.
Nor
doth
the
Subject
only
reap
benefit
thus
by
Parlement
,
but
the
Prince
,
(
if
it
be
well
consider'd
)
hath
equal
advantage
therby
;
It
rendreth
him
a
King
of
free
and
able
men
,
which
is
far
more
glorious
than
to
be
a
King
of
Cowards
,
Beggars
,
and
Bankrupts
;
Men
that
by
their
freedom
,
and
competency
of
wealth
,
are
kept
still
in
heart
to
do
him
service
against
any
forrain
force
.
And
it
is
a
tru
maxime
in
all
States
,
that
't
is
lesse
danger
and
dishonour
for
the
Prince
to
be
poor
,
than
his
people
:
Rich
Subjects
can
make
their
King
rich
when
they
please
,
if
he
gain
their
hearts
,
he
will
quickly
get
their
purses
.
Parlement
encreaseth
love
and
good
intelligence
'twixt
him
and
his
peeple
,
it
acquaints
him
with
the
reality
of
things
,
and
with
the
tru
state
and
diseases
of
his
Kingdom
,
it
brings
him
to
the
knowledg
of
his
better
sort
of
Subjects
,
and
of
their
abilities
,
which
he
may
employ
accordingly
upon
all
occasions
;
It
provides
for
his
Royal
Issue
,
pays
his
debts
,
finds
means
to
fill
his
Coffers
:
and
it
is
no
ill
observation
,
That
Parlementmoneys
(
the
great
Aid
)
have
prospered
best
with
the
Kings
of
England
;
It
exceedingly
raiseth
his
repute
abroad
,
and
enableth
him
to
keep
his
foes
in
fear
,
his
Subjects
in
awe
,
his
Neighbours
and
Confederates
in
security
,
the
three
main
things
which
go
to
aggrandize
a
Prince
,
and
render
him
glorious
.
In
summe
,
it
is
the
Parlement
that
supports
,
and
bears
up
the
honour
of
his
Crown
,
and
settles
his
Throne
in
safety
,
which
is
the
chief
end
of
all
their
consultations
:
For
whosoever
is
entrusted
to
be
a
Member
of
this
High
Court
,
carryeth
with
him
a
double
capacity
;
he
sits
ther
as
a
Patriot
,
and
as
a
Subject
:
as
he
is
the
one
,
the
Country
is
his
object
,
his
duty
being
to
vindicat
the
publick
liberty
,
to
make
wholsom
Lawes
,
to
put
his
hand
to
the
pump
,
and
stop
the
leaks
of
the
great
vessel
of
the
State
,
to
pry
into
,
and
punish
corruption
and
oppression
,
to
improve
and
advance
trade
,
to
have
the
grievances
of
the
place
he
serves
for
redressed
,
and
cast
about
how
to
find
somthing
that
may
tend
to
the
advantage
of
it
.
But
he
must
not
forget
that
he
sits
ther
also
as
a
Subject
,
and
according
to
that
capacity
,
he
must
apply
himself
to
do
his
Soveraignt
businesse
,
to
provide
not
only
for
his
publick
,
but
his
personall
wants
;
to
bear
up
the
lustre
and
glory
of
his
Court
;
To
consider
what
occasions
of
extraordinary
expences
he
may
have
,
by
encrease
of
Royal
Issue
,
or
maintenance
of
any
of
them
abroad
;
To
enable
him
to
vindicat
any
affront
or
indignity
that
might
be
offered
to
his
Person
,
Crown
,
or
Dignity
,
by
any
forrain
State
or
Kingdom
,
or
intestin
Rebellion
;
To
consult
what
may
enlarge
his
honour
,
contentment
,
and
pleasure
.
And
as
the
French
Tacitus
(
Comines
)
hath
●…t
,
the
English
Nation
was
used
to
be
more
●…orward
and
zealous
in
this
particular
than
●…ny
other
;
according
that
to
ancient
eloquent
speech
of
a
great
Lawyer
,
Domus
Regis
vigi●…a
defendit
omnium
,
otium
illius
labor
omni●…m
,
deliciae
illius
industria
omnium
,
vacatio
●…lius
occupatio
omnium
,
salus
illius
periculum
●…nium
,
honor
illius
objectum
omnium
.
Eve●…
one
shold
stand
Centinell
to
defend
the
Kings
house
,
his
safety
shold
be
the
danger
of
〈◊〉
,
his
pleasures
the
industry
of
all
,
his
ease
●…old
be
the
labour
of
all
,
his
honour
the
ob●…ct
of
all
.
Out
of
these
premisses
this
conclusion
●…ay
be
easily
deduced
,
That
,
the
principall
●…ntain
whence
the
King
derives
his
happiness
and
safety
,
is
his
Parlement
;
It
is
that
great
Conduit-pipe
which
conveighes
unto
him
his
peoples
bounty
and
gratitude
;
The
truest
Looking-glasse
wherin
he
discernes
their
loves
;
(
now
the
Subjects
love
hath
been
always
accounted
the
prime
Cittadell
of
a
Prince
.
)
In
his
Parlement
he
appears
as
the
Sun
in
the
Meridian
,
in
the
altitude
of
his
glory
,
in
his
highest
State
Royal
,
as
the
Law
tells
us
.
Therfore
whosoever
is
averse
or
disaffected
to
his
Soveraign
Law-making
Court
▪
cannot
have
his
heart
well
planted
within
him
,
he
can
be
neither
good
Subject
,
no●…
good
Patriot
,
and
therfore
unworthy
to
breath
English
aire
,
or
have
any
benefit
,
advantage
,
or
protection
from
the
Laws
.
Sectio
Secunda
.
BY
that
which
hath
bin
spoken
,
which
is
the
language
of
my
heart
,
I
hope
no
indifferent
judicious
Reader
will
doubt
of
the
cordiall
affection
,
of
the
high
respects
and
due
reverence
I
bear
to
Parlement
,
as
being
the
wholsomest
constitution
,
(
and
done
by
the
highest
and
happiest
reach
of
policy
that
ever
was
established
in
this
Island
)
to
perpetuate
the
happinesse
therof
.
Therfore
I
must
tell
that
Gentleman
,
who
was
Author
of
a
Book
entituled
the
Popish
Royal
Favorite
,
(
lately
printed
and
exposed
to
the
world
)
that
he
offers
me
very
hard
measure
;
nay
,
he
doth
me
apparent
wrong
,
to
term
me
therin
,
No
friend
to
Parlement
,
and
a
Malignant
▪
A
character
,
which
as
I
deserve
it
not
,
so
I
disdain
it
.
For
the
first
part
of
his
charge
,
I
wold
have
him
know
,
that
I
am
as
much
a
friend
and
as
reall
an
affectionat
humble
servant
and
Votary
to
the
Parlement
as
possibly
he
can
be
,
and
will
live
and
die
with
these
affections
about
me
:
And
I
could
wish
,
that
he
were
Secretary
of
my
thoughts
a
while
,
or
if
I
may
take
the
boldnesse
to
apply
that
comparison
his
late
Majesty
used
in
a
famous
speech
to
one
of
his
Parlements
,
I
could
wish
ther
were
a
Chrystal
window
in
my
breast
,
through
which
the
world
might
espye
the
inward
motions
and
palpitations
of
my
heart
,
then
would
he
be
certified
of
the
sincerity
of
this
protestation
.
For
the
second
part
of
his
Charge
,
to
be
a
Malignant
,
I
must
confesse
to
have
som
Malignity
that
lurks
within
me
much
against
my
will
;
but
it
is
no
malignity
of
mind
,
it
is
amongst
the
humors
,
not
in
my
intellectuals
;
And
I
believe
,
ther
is
no
naturall
man
,
let
him
have
his
humors
never
so
well
ballanced
,
but
hath
som
of
this
Malignity
reigning
within
him
;
For
as
long
as
we
are
composed
of
the
four
Elements
,
whence
these
humors
are
derived
,
and
with
whom
they
symbolize
in
qualities
;
which
Elements
the
Philosophers
hold
to
be
in
a
restlesse
contention
amongst
themselves
(
and
the
Stoick
thought
that
the
world
subsisted
by
this
innated
mutual
strise
)
as
long
I
say
,
as
the
four
humors
,
in
imitation
of
their
principles
(
the
Elements
)
are
in
perpetual
reluctancy
and
combate
for
praedominancy
,
ther
must
be
som
malignity
lodg'd
within
us
,
as
adusted
choler
,
and
the
like
;
wherof
I
had
late
experience
,
in
a
dangerous
fit
of
sicknesse
it
pleased
God
to
lay
upon
me
,
which
the
Physitians
told
me
proceeded
from
the
malignant
hypocondriacall
effects
of
melancholy
;
having
bin
so
long
in
this
Saturnine
black
condition
of
close
imprisonment
,
and
buryed
alive
between
the
walls
of
this
fatal
Fleet
:
These
kinds
of
malignities
,
I
confesse
are
very
rife
in
me
,
and
they
are
not
only
incident
,
but
connaturall
to
every
man
according
to
his
complexion
;
And
were
it
not
for
this
incessant
strugling
and
enmity
amongst
the
humors
for
mastery
,
which
produceth
such
malignant
effects
in
us
,
our
souls
wold
be
loth
ever
to
depart
from
our
bodies
,
or
to
abandon
this
mansion
of
clay
.
Now
what
malignity
my
Accuser
means
,
I
know
not
;
if
he
means
malignity
of
spirit
,
as
som
antipathy
or
ill
impression
upon
the
mind
,
arising
from
disaffection
,
hatred
,
or
rancor
,
with
a
desire
of
som
destructive
revenge
,
he
is
mightily
deceived
in
me
;
I
maligne
or
hate
no
Creature
that
ever
God
made
but
the
Devill
,
who
is
the
Author
of
all
malignity
;
and
therfore
is
most
commonly
called
in
French
le
Malin
Esprit
,
the
malignant
spirit
.
Every
night
before
I
go
to
bed
,
I
have
the
grace
,
I
thank
God
for
it
,
to
forgive
all
the
world
,
and
not
to
harbour
,
or
let
roost
in
my
bosom
the
least
malignant
thought
;
yet
none
can
deny
,
but
the
publick
aspersions
which
this
my
Accuser
casts
upon
me
,
were
enough
to
make
me
a
malignant
towards
him
;
yet
it
could
never
have
the
power
to
do
it
:
For
I
have
prevail'd
with
my self
to
forgive
him
this
his
wrong
censure
of
me
,
issuing
rather
from
his
notknowledge
of
me
,
than
from
malice
,
for
we
never
mingled
speech
,
or
saw
one
another
in
our
lives
to
my
remembrance
;
which
makes
me
wonder
the
more
,
that
a
Professor
of
the
Law
,
as
he
is
,
shold
pronounce
such
a
positive
sentence
against
me
so
slightly
.
But
methinks
I
over-hear
him
say
,
that
my
precedent
discourse
of
Parlement
is
invol'd
in
generals
,
and
the
Topique
Axiome
tells
us
,
that
Dolus
versatur
in
universalibus
,
ther
is
double
dealing
in
universals
:
His
meaning
is
,
that
I
am
no
friend
to
this
present
Parlement
(
though
he
speaks
in
the
plurall
number
Parlements
)
and
consequently
,
he
concludes
me
a
Malignant
;
Therin
I
must
tell
him
also
,
that
I
am
traduc'd
,
and
I
am
confident
it
will
be
never
prov'd
against
me
,
from
any
actions
,
words
,
or
letters
(
though
divers
of
mine
have
bin
intercepted
)
or
any
other
misdemeanor
,
though
som
things
are
father'd
upon
me
which
never
drop'd
from
my
quill
.
Alas
,
how
unworthy
and
uncapable
am
I
to
censure
the
proceedings
of
that
great
Senate
,
that
high
Synedrion
,
wherin
the
wisdom
of
the
whole
State
is
epitomized
?
It
were
a
presumption
in
me
,
of
the
highest
nature
that
could
be
:
It
is
enough
for
me
to
pray
for
the
prosperous
successe
of
their
consultations
:
And
as
I
hold
it
my
duty
,
so
I
have
good
reason
so
to
do
,
in
regard
I
am
to
have
my
share
in
the
happinesse
;
And
could
the
utmost
of
my
poor
endeavours
,
by
any
ministerial
humble
office
(
and
somtimes
the
meanest
Boat-swain
may
help
to
preserve
the
Ship
from
sinking
)
be
so
happy
,
as
to
contribut
any
thing
to
advance
that
great
work
(
which
I
am
in
despair
to
do
,
while
I
am
thus
under
hatches
in
this
Fleet
,
)
I
wold
esteem
it
the
greatest
honor
that
possibly
could
befall
me
,
as
I
hold
it
now
to
be
my
greatest
disaster
,
to
have
fallen
so
heavily
under
an
affliction
of
this
nature
,
and
to
be
made
a
sacrifice
to
publick
fame
,
than
which
there
is
no
other
proof
,
nor
that
yet
urg'd
against
me
,
or
any
thing
else
produc'd
after
so
long
,
so
long
captivity
which
hath
brought
me
to
suck
a
low
ebbe
,
and
put
me
so
far
behind
in
the
course
of
my
poor
fortunes
,
and
indeed
more
than
halfe
undone
me
.
For
although
my
whole
life
(
since
I
was
left
to
my self
to
swim
,
as
they
say
,
without
Bladders
)
has
bin
nothing
else
but
a
continued
succession
of
crosses
,
and
that
there
are
but
few
red
letters
found
(
God
wot
)
in
the
Almanack
of
my
Age
,
(
for
which
I
account
not
my self
a
whit
the
lesse
happy
)
yet
this
crosse
has
carried
with
it
a
greater
weight
,
it
hath
bin
of
a
larger
extent
,
longer
continuance
,
and
lighted
heavier
upon
me
than
any
other
;
and
as
I
have
present
patience
to
beare
it
,
so
I
hope
for
subsequent
grace
to
make
use
of
it
accordingly
,
that
my
old
Motto
may
be
still
confirmed
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
HE
produceth
my
attestation
for
some
passages
in
Spaine
at
his
Majesties
being
there
,
and
he
quotes
me
right
,
which
obligeth
me
to
him
;
and
I
hope
all
his
quotations
wherein
he
is
so
extraordinarily
copious
and
elaborate
in
all
his
workes
,
are
so
;
yet
I
must
tel
him
,
that
those
interchangeable
letters
which
pass'd
between
His
Majesty
&
the
Pope
,
which
were
originally
couch'd
in
Latin
,
the
language
wherin
all
Nations
treat
with
Rome
,
and
the
Empire
with
all
the
Princes
thereof
,
those
letters
I
say
are
adulterated
in
many
places
,
which
I
impute
not
to
him
,
but
to
the
French
Chronicler
,
from
whom
he
took
them
in
trust
.
The
truth
of
that
businesse
is
this
;
The
world
knows
there
was
a
tedious
treaty
of
an
Alliance
'twixt
the
Infanta
Dona
Maria
(
who
now
is
Empresse
)
and
His
Majesty
,
which
in
regard
of
the
slow
affected
pace
of
the
Spaniard
,
lasted
above
ten
yeares
,
as
that
in
Henry
the
sevenths
time
,
'twixt
Prince
Arthur
,
and
(
afterwards
)
Queen
Katherine
,
was
spun
out
above
seven
:
To
quicken
,
or
rather
to
consummate
the
work
,
his
Majesty
made
that
adventurous
journey
through
the
whole
Continent
of
France
into
Spaine
;
which
voyage
,
though
there
was
a
great
deale
of
gallantry
in
it
(
wherof
all
posterity
will
ring
untill
it
turne
at
last
to
a
Romance
)
yet
it
prov'd
the
bane
of
the
businesse
,
which
't
is
not
the
errand
of
so
poor
a
Pamphlet
as
this
to
unfold
.
His
Majesty
being
there
arriv'd
,
the
ignorant
common
people
cried
out
,
the
Prince
of
Wales
came
thither
to
make
himself
a
Christian
;
The
Pope
writ
to
the
Inquisitor
Generall
,
and
others
,
to
use
all
industry
they
could
to
reduce
him
to
the
Romane
Religion
;
And
one
of
Olivares
first
complements
to
him
,
was
,
That
he
doubted
not
but
that
his
Highnesse
came
thither
to
change
His
Religion
:
whereunto
he
made
a
short
answer
,
That
He
came
not
thither
for
a
Religion
but
for
a
Wife
:
There
were
extraordinary
processions
made
,
and
other
artifices
us'd
by
protraction
of
things
,
to
make
him
stay
ther
of
purpose
till
the
Spring
following
,
to
work
upon
him
the
better
;
And
the
Infanta
her self
desir'd
him
(
which
was
esteem'd
the
greatest
favour
he
received
from
her
all
the
while
)
to
visit
the
Nunne
of
Carton
,
hoping
that
the
say'd
Nunne
,
who
was
so
much
cried
up
for
miracles
,
might
have
wrought
one
upon
him
;
but
her
art
failed
her
,
nor
was
His
Highness
so
weak
a
subject
to
work
upon
according
to
His
late
Majesties
speech
to
Doctor
Mawe
and
Wren
,
who
when
they
came
to
kisse
his
hands
before
they
went
to
Spaine
to
attend
the
Prince
their
Master
,
He
wish
ed
them
to
have
a
care
of
Buckinham
;
as
touching
his
Sonne
Charles
,
he
apprehended
no
feare
at
all
of
him
;
for
he
knew
him
to
be
so
well
grounded
a
Protestant
,
that
nothing
could
shake
him
in
his
Religion
.
The
Arabian
proverb
is
,
That
the
Sun
never
soiles
in
his
passage
,
though
his
beams
reverberate
never
so
strongly
,
and
dwell
never
so
long
upon
the
myry
lake
of
Maeotis
,
the
black
turf'd
moores
of
Holland
,
the
aguish
woose
of
Kent
and
Essex
,
or
any
other
place
,
be
it
never
so
dirty
;
Though
Spaine
be
a
hot
Countrey
,
yet
one
may
passe
and
repasse
through
the
very
Center
of
it
,
and
never
be
Sun-burnt
,
if
he
carry
with
him
a
Bongrace
,
and
such
a
one
His
Majesty
had
.
Well
,
after
his
Majesties
arrivall
to
Madrid
,
the
treaty
of
Marriage
went
on
still
,
(
though
he
told
them
at
his
first
comming
,
that
he
came
not
thither
like
an
Ambassador
to
treat
of
a
Marriage
,
but
as
a
Prince
,
to
fetch
home
a
Wife
;
)
and
in
regard
they
were
of
different
Religions
,
it
could
not
be
done
without
a
dispensation
from
the
Pope
,
and
the
Pope
would
grant
none
,
unlesse
some
Capitulations
were
stipulated
in
favour
of
the
Romish
Catholikes
in
England
,
(
the
same
in
substance
were
agreed
on
with
France
.
)
Well
,
when
the
dispensation
came
,
which
was
negotiated
solely
by
the
King
of
Spains
Ministers
(
because
His
Majesty
would
have
as
little
to
do
as
might
be
with
Rome
)
Pope
Gregory
the
fifteenth
,
who
died
a
little
after
,
sent
His
Majesty
a
Letter
,
which
was
delivered
by
the
Nuncio
,
whereof
an
answer
was
sent
a
while
after
:
Which
Letters
were
imprinted
and
exposed
to
the
view
of
the
world
,
because
His
Majesty
would
not
have
people
whisper
,
that
the
businesse
was
carried
in
a
clandestine
manner
.
And
truly
besides
this
,
I
do
not
know
of
any
Letter
,
or
Message
,
or
Complement
,
that
ever
pass'd
twixt
His
Majesty
and
the
Pope
afore
or
after
;
some
addresses
peradventure
might
be
made
to
the
Cardinalls
,
to
whom
the
drawing
of
those
matrimoniall
dispatches
was
referred
to
quicken
the
work
,
but
this
was
only
by
way
of
civil
negotiation
.
Now
touching
that
responsory
Letter
from
His
Majesty
,
it
was
no
other
than
a
Complement
in
the
severest
interpretation
;
and
such
formalities
passe
'twixt
the
Crown
of
England
,
the
great
Turke
,
the
Mogor
and
divers
Heathen
Princes
.
The
Pope
writ
first
,
and
no
man
can
deny
,
but
by
all
morall
rules
,
and
in
common
humane
civility
His
Majesty
was
bound
to
answer
it
,
specially
considering
how
punctual
they
are
in
those
Countries
to
correspond
in
this
kind
,
how
exact
they
are
repaying
visits
,
with
the
performance
of
such
Ceremonies
;
And
had
this
compliance
bin
omitted
,
it
might
have
made
very
ill
impressions
,
as
the
posture
of
things
stood
then
;
for
it
had
prejudiced
the
great
work
in
hand
,
I
mean
,
the
Match
,
which
was
then
in
the
heat
and
height
of
agitation
,
His
Majesties
person
was
ther
engaged
,
besides
,
and
so
it
was
no
time
to
give
the
least
offence
:
They
that
are
never
so
little
vers'd
in
businesse
abroad
,
do
know
that
ther
must
be
addresses
,
compliances
,
and
formalities
of
this
nature
us'd
in
the
carriage
of
matters
of
State
,
as
this
great
businesse
was
,
wheron
the
eyes
of
all
Christendom
were
so
greedily
fix'd
;
A
businesse
which
was
like
to
bring
with
it
such
an
universal
good
,
as
the
restitution
of
the
Palatinat
,
the
quenching
of
those
hideous
fires
in
Germany
,
and
the
establishing
of
a
peace
throughout
all
the
Christian
World.
I
hope
none
will
take
offence
,
that
in
this
particular
which
comes
within
the
compasse
of
my
knowledg
(
being
upon
the
Stage
when
his
Scene
was
acted
)
I
do
this
right
to
the
King
my
Master
,
in
displaying
the
Truth
,
and
putting
her
forth
in
her
own
colours
,
a
rare
thing
in
these
days
.
TOuching
the
Vocall
Forrest
,
an
Allegorical
Discourse
,
that
goes
abroad
under
my
name
,
a
good
while
before
the
beginning
of
this
Parlement
,
which
this
Gentleman
cites
(
and
that
very
faithfully
,
)
I
understand
ther
be
som
that
mutter
at
certain
passages
therin
,
by
putting
ill
glosses
upon
the
Text
,
and
taking
with
the
left
hand
,
what
I
offer
with
the
right
,
(
Nor
is
it
a
wonder
for
trees
which
ly
open
,
and
stand
exposed
to
all
weathers
to
be
nipt
.
)
But
I
desire
this
favour
,
which
in
common
justice
,
I
am
sure
in
the
Court
of
Chancery
cannot
be
denyed
me
,
it
being
the
priviledge
of
every
Author
,
and
a
received
maxime
through
the
World
,
Cujus
est
condere
,
ejus
est
interpretari
;
I
say
,
I
crave
this
favour
,
to
have
leave
to
expound
my
own
Text
,
and
I
doubt
not
then
but
to
rectifie
any
one
in
his
opinion
of
me
,
and
that
in
lieu
of
the
Plums
which
I
give
him
from
those
Trees
,
he
will
not
throw
the
stones
at
me
.
Moreover
,
I
desire
those
that
are
over
criticall
Censu●…ers
of
that
peece
,
to
know
,
that
as
in
Divinity
it
is
a
rule
,
Scriptur
a
parabolica
non
est
argumentativa
,
so
it
is
in
all
other
kind
of
knowledg
;
Parables
(
wherof
that
Discourse
is
composed
)
though
pressed
never
so
hard
,
prove
nothing
.
The●…
is
another
Rule
also
,
That
Parables
must
be
gently
used
,
like
a
Nurses
breast
;
which
if
you
presse
too
hard
,
you
shall
have
bloud
in
stead
of
milk
.
But
as
the
Author
of
the
Vocall
Forrest
thinks
he
hath
done
,
neither
his
Countrey
,
nor
the
Common
wealth
of
Learning
any
prejudice
therby
(
That
maiden
fancy
having
received
so
good
entertainment
and
respect
abroad
,
as
to
be
translated
into
divers
Languages
,
and
to
gain
the
publick
approbation
of
som
famous
Universities
)
So
he
makes
this
humble
protest
unto
all
the
World
,
that
though
the
designe
of
that
Discourse
was
partly
Satyricall
(
which
peradventure
induc'd
the
Author
to
shrowd
it
of
purpose
under
the
shadowes
of
trees
,
and
where
should
Satyres
be
but
amongst
Trees
?
)
yet
it
never
entred
into
his
imagination
to
let
fall
from
him
the
least
thing
that
might
give
any
offence
to
the
High
and
Honourable
Court
of
Parlement
,
whereof
he
had
the
honour
to
be
once
a
Member
,
and
hopes
he
may
be
thought
worthy
again
:
And
were
he
guilty
of
such
an
offence
,
or
piacle
rather
,
he
thinks
he
shold
never
forgive
himself
,
though
he
were
appointed
his
own
Judge
.
If
ther
occur
any
passages
therin
,
that
may
admit
a
hard
construction
,
let
the
Reader
observe
,
That
the
Author
doth
not
positively
assert
,
or
passe
a
judgement
on
any
thing
in
that
Discourse
,
which
consists
principally
of
concise
,
cursory
narrations
of
the
choisest
▪
Occurrences
and
Criticismes
of
State
,
according
as
the
pulse
of
time
did
beat
then
:
And
matters
of
State
,
as
all
other
sublunary
things
,
are
subject
to
alterations
,
contingencies
and
change
,
which
makes
the
opinions
and
minds
of
men
vary
accordingly
.
I
will
conclude
with
this
modest
request
to
that
Gentleman
of
the
long
Robe
;
That
having
unpassionately
perus'd
what
I
have
written
in
this
small
Discourse
,
in
penning
wherof
,
my
conscience
guided
my
quill
all
along
as
well
as
my
hand
,
he
wold
please
to
be
so
charitable
and
just
,
as
to
reverse
that
harsh
sentence
upon
me
,
To
be
no
Friend
to
Parlements
and
a
Malignant
.
A
GLANCE
UPON
THE
I
LE
of
WIGHT
,
AND
Upon
the
unparallell'd
Concessions
of
GRACE
HIS
MAJESTY
pass'd
in
that
Trety
,
&c.
Concluding
with
the
horrid
Murther
committed
afterwards
upon
His
Sacred
Person
.
Cui

?
A
GLANCE
UPON
THE
I
LE
of
WIGHT
,
OR
AN
INQUISITION
AFTER
TRUTH
.
WHo
vindicats
Truth
doth
a
good
office
not
onely
to
his
own
Country
,
but
to
all
Mankind
;
It
is
the
scope
of
this
short
discourse
,
viz.
to
make
som
researches
after
Truth
,
and
to
rectifie
the
world
accordingly
in
point
of
opinion
,
specially
touching
the
first
Author
and
Aggressor
of
the
late
ugly
war
in
England
,
which
brought
with
it
such
an
inundation
of
bloud
,
and
so
did
let
in
so
huge
a
torrent
of
mischiefs
to
rush
upon
us
.
Ther
be
many
,
and
they
not
only
Presbyterians
and
Independents
,
but
Cavaliers
also
,
who
think
that
the
King
had
taken
the
guilt
of
all
this
bloud
upon
himself
,
in
regard
of
that
Concession
he
passed
in
the
preamble
of
the
late
Treaty
at
the
Isle
of
Wight
;
The
aim
of
this
Paper
is
to
clear
that
point
,
but
in
so
temperat
a
way
,
that
I
hope
't
will
give
no
cause
of
exception
,
much
lesse
of
offence
to
any
:
the
bloud
that
's
sought
after
here
,
shall
not
be
mingled
with
gaule
,
much
lesse
with
any
venom
at
all
.
We
know
ther
is
no
Principle
either
in
Divinity
,
Law
or
Philosophy
,
but
may
be
wrested
to
a
wrong
sense
;
ther
is
no
truth
so
demonstrative
and
clear
,
but
may
be
subject
to
cavillations
;
no
Tenet
so
plain
,
but
perverse
inferences
may
be
drawn
out
of
it
;
such
a
fate
befell
that
preambular
Concession
His
Majesty
passed
at
the
Transactions
of
the
late
Treaty
,
in
that
he
acknowledg'd
therin
that
the
two
Houses
of
Parlement
were
necessitated
to
undertake
a
war
in
their
own
just
and
lawful
defence
,
&c.
and
that
therfore
all
Oaths
,
Declarations
,
or
other
public
Instruments
against
the
Houses
of
Parlement
,
or
any
for
adhering
to
them
,
&c.
be
declared
null
,
suppressed
,
and
forbidden
.
'T
is
true
,
His
Majesty
passed
this
grant
,
but
with
this
weighty
consideration
as
it
had
reference
to
two
ends
.
First
,
to
smoothen
and
facilitate
things
thereby
to
open
a
passage
,
and
pave
the
way
to
a
happy
peace
,
which
this
poor
Iland
did
so
thirst
after
,
having
bin
so
long
glutted
with
civil
blood
.
Secondly
,
that
it
might
conduce
to
the
further
security
,
and
the
indemnifying
of
the
two
Houses
of
Parlement
,
with
all
their
instruments
,
assistants
,
and
adherents
,
and
so
rid
them
of
all
jealousies
,
and
fear
of
future
dangers
which
still
lodg'd
within
them
.
Now
touching
the
expressions
and
words
of
this
Grant
,
they
were
not
his
own
,
nor
did
he
give
order
for
the
dictating
or
penning
thereof
;
the
King
was
not
the
Author
of
them
,
but
an
Assentor
only
unto
them
:
nor
was
He
or
his
Party
accus'd
,
or
as
much
as
mentioned
in
any
of
them
,
to
draw
the
least
guilt
upon
themselves
.
Besides
,
He
pass'd
them
as
he
doth
all
Lawes
and
Acts
of
Parlement
,
which
in
case
of
absence
another
may
do
for
him
in
his
politic
capacity
,
therfore
they
cannot
prejudice
his
person
any
way
.
I
am
loth
to
say
that
he
condescended
to
this
Grant
,
—
Cum
strict
a
novacula
supra
,
When
the
razor
was
as
it
were
at
his
throat
,
when
ther
was
an
Army
of
about
thirty
thousand
effectif
Horse
and
Foot
that
were
in
motion
against
him
,
when
his
Person
had
continued
under
a
black
long
lingring
restraint
,
and
dangerous
menacing
Petitions
and
Papers
daily
ob●…ruded
against
him
.
Moreover
,
His
Majesty
pass'd
this
Concession
with
these
two
provisos
and
reservations
,
First
,
that
it
should
be
of
no
vertu
or
validity
at
all
,
till
the
whole
Treaty
were
intirely
consummated
;
Secondly
,
that
he
might
when
he
pleas'd
inlarge
and
cleer
the
truth
with
the
reservednesse
of
his
meaning
herein
,
by
public
Declaration
:
Now
the
Treaty
being
confusedly
huddled
up
,
without
discussing
,
or
as
much
as
receiving
any
Proposition
from
himself
as
was
capitulated
,
(
and
reciprocall
proposalls
are
of
the
essence
of
all
Treaties
)
it
could
neither
bind
him
,
or
turne
any
way
to
his
disadvantage
:
Therfore
under
favour
,
ther
was
too
much
hast
us'd
by
the
Parlement
,
to
draw
that
hipothetick
or
provisional
Concession
to
the
form
of
an
Act
so
suddenly
after
in
the
very
heat
of
the
Treaty
,
without
His
Majesties
knowledg
,
or
the
least
intimation
of
his
pleasure
.
Add
hereunto
,
that
this
Grant
was
but
a
meer
preambular
Proposition
,
't
was
not
of
the
essence
of
the
Treaty
it self
:
And
as
the
Philosophers
and
Schoolemen
tell
us
,
there
is
no
valid
proof
can
be
drawn
out
of
Proemes
,
Introductions
or
Corollaries
in
any
science
,
but
out
of
the
positive
assertions
and
body
of
the
Text
,
which
is
only
argument-proof
;
so
in
the
Constitutions
and
Laws
of
England
,
as
also
in
all
accusations
and
charges
,
forerunning
prefaces
&
preambles
(
which
commonly
weak
causes
want
most
)
are
not
pleadable
:
and
though
they
use
to
be
first
in
place
,
like
gentlemen-Ushers
,
yet
are
they
last
in
dignity
,
as
also
in
framing
,
nor
had
they
ever
the
force
of
Laws
,
but
may
be
term'd
their
attendants
to
make
way
for
them
.
Besides
,
ther
's
not
a
syllable
in
this
preface
which
repeals
or
connives
at
any
former
Law
of
the
Land
,
therefore
those
Laws
that
so
strictly
inhibit
English
Subjects
to
raise
armes
against
their
Liege
Lord
the
King
,
and
those
Lawes
è
contrario
which
exempt
from
all
dangers
,
penalties
or
molestation
,
any
Subject
that
adheres
to
the
person
of
the
King
in
any
cause
or
buarrell
whatsoever
,
are
still
in
force
.
Furthermore
,
this
introductory
Concession
of
the
Kings
,
wherein
he
is
contented
to
declare
,
That
the
two
Houses
were
necessitated
to
take
Armes
for
their
defence
,
may
be
said
to
have
relation
to
the
necessity
,
à
parte
pòst
,
not
à
parte
antè
:
self-defence
is
the
universall
Law
of
Nature
,
and
it
extends
to
all
other
cretures
,
as
well
as
to
the
Rationall
:
As
the
fluent
Roman
Orator
in
that
sentence
of
his
,
which
is
accounted
among
the
Critiques
the
excellentest
that
ever
drop'd
from
Cicero
;
Est
enim
haec
non
scripta
,
sed
nata
Lex
quam
non
didicimus
,
accepimus
,
legimus
,
verum
ex
natura
ipsa
arripuimus
,
hausimus
,
expressimus
,
ad
quam
non
docti
,
sed
facti
,
non
instituti
,
sed
imbuti
sum●…s
,
ut
si
vita
nostra
in
&c.
For
this
(
meaning
self-defence
)
is
not
a
written
,
but
a
Law
born
with
us
;
A
Law
which
we
have
not
learnt
,
receiv'd
or
read
,
but
that
which
we
have
suck'd
,
drawn
forth
,
and
wrung
out
of
the
very
brests
of
Nature
her self
;
A
Law
to
which
we
are
not
taught
,
but
made
unto
,
wherwith
we
are
not
instructed
,
but
indued
withall
,
that
if
our
lifes
be
in
jeopardy
,
&c.
we
may
repel
force
by
force
.
Therfore
when
the
House
of
Parliament
had
drawn
upon
them
a
necessity
of
self
defence
(
And
I
could
have
wish'd
it
had
bin
against
any
other
but
their
own
Soverain
Prince
)
His
Majesty
was
contented
to
acknowledge
that
necessity
.
As
for
example
:
A
man
of
war
meets
with
a
Marchant
man
at
Sea
,
he
makes
towards
him
,
and
assaults
him
;
The
Marchant
man
having
a
good
stout
vessell
under
him
,
and
resolute
,
generous
Seamen
,
bears
up
against
him
,
gives
him
a
whole
broad-side
,
and
shoots
him
'twixt
wind
and
water
;
so
there
happens
a
furious
fight
betwixt
them
,
which
being
ended
,
the
Marchant
cannot
deny
but
that
the
man
of
war
,
though
the
first
Assailant
,
was
necessitated
to
fight
,
and
that
justly
in
his
own
defence
,
which
necessity
he
drew
upon
himself
,
and
so
was
excusable
,
à
posteriori
,
not
à
priori
;
As
the
Civilians
speak
of
a
clandestine
marriage
,
Fieri
non
debuit
,
sed
factum
valet
;
It
ought
not
to
have
been
,
but
being
done
't
is
valid
:
wherunto
relates
another
saying
,
Multa
sunt
quae
non
nisi
per
acta
approbantur
.
Ther
are
many
things
which
are
not
allowable
til
they
are
pass'd
.
The
Kings
of
France
have
had
sundry
civil
wars
,
They
have
had
many
bloudy
encounters
and
clashes
with
their
Subjects
,
specially
the
last
King
Lewis
the
thirteenth
,
which
turn'd
all
at
last
to
his
advantage
;
Among
other
Treaties
in
that
of
Loudun
,
he
was
by
force
of
Article
to
publish
an
Edict
,
Dont
lequel
le
Roy
approuvoit
tout
le
passé
comme
ayant
esté
fait
pour
son
service
,
&c.
Wherin
the
King
approv'd
of
all
that
w●…s
pass'd
,
as
done
for
his
service
,
&c.
and
these
concessions
and
extenuations
are
usuall
at
the
close
of
most
civil
wars
,
but
ther
was
never
any
further
advantage
made
of
them
,
then
to
make
the
adverse
party
more
capable
of
grace
and
pardon
,
as
also
to
enable
them
to
bear
up
against
the
brunt
of
Laws
,
and
secure
them
more
firmly
from
all
after-claps
;
They
were
pass'd
in
order
to
an
Act
of
Abolition
,
to
a
generall
pardon
,
and
consequently
to
a
re-establishment
of
Peace
;
now
,
Peace
and
War
(
we
know
)
are
like
Water
and
Ice
,
they
engender
one
another
:
But
I
do
not
remember
to
have
read
either
in
the
French
History
,
or
any
other
,
that
such
Royal
Concessions
at
the
period
of
any
intestin
war
were
ever
wrung
so
hard
,
as
to
draw
any
inference
from
them
,
to
cast
therby
the
guilt
of
bloud
,
or
indeed
the
least
stain
of
dishonour
upon
the
King
;
For
Royal
Indulgences
and
grants
of
this
nature
are
like
nurses
breasts
,
if
you
presse
them
gently
ther
will
milk
come
forth
,
if
you
wring
them
too
hard
you
will
draw
forth
bloud
in
lieu
of
milk
:
And
I
have
observed
that
the
conclusion
of
such
Treaties
in
France
,
both
parties
wold
hugg
and
mutually
embrace
one
another
in
a
gallant
way
of
national
humanity
;
all
rancor
,
all
plundrings
,
sequestration
,
and
imprisonment
wold
cease
,
nor
wold
any
be
prosecuted
,
much
lesse
made
away
afterwards
in
cold
bloud
.
Touching
the
Comencer
of
this
monstrous
war
of
ours
,
the
world
knows
too
well
,
that
the
first
man
of
bloud
was
Blew-cap
,
who
shew'd
Subjects
the
way
,
how
to
present
their
King
with
Petitions
upon
the
Pikes
point
,
and
what
visible
judgements
have
fallen
upon
him
since
,
by
such
confusions
of
discord
and
pestilence
at
home
,
and
irreparable
dishonour
abroad
,
let
the
world
judge
.
The
Irish
took
his
rise
from
him
:
and
wheras
it
hath
bin
often
suggested
,
that
His
Majesty
had
foreknowledge
therof
,
among
a
world
of
convincing
arguments
which
may
clear
him
in
this
particular
,
the
Lord
Maguair
upon
the
ladder
,
and
another
upon
the
Scaffold
,
when
they
were
ready
to
breath
their
last
,
and
to
appear
before
the
Tribunall
of
heaven
,
did
absolutely
acquit
the
King
,
and
that
spontaneously
of
their
own
accord
,
being
unsought
unto
,
but
only
out
of
a
love
to
truth
,
and
discharge
of
a
good
conscience
:
but
touching
those
cruentous
Irish
wars
,
in
regard
ther
was
nothing
wherof
more
advantage
was
made
against
His
late
Majesty
,
to
imbitter
and
poyson
the
hearts
of
his
Subjects
against
him
then
that
Rebellion
,
I
will
take
leave
to
wind
up
the
main
causes
of
them
upon
a
small
bottom
as
was
spoken
elsewhere
.
1.
They
who
kept
intelligence
and
complyed
with
the
Scot
,
in
his
first
and
second
insurrection
.
2.
They
who
dismiss'd
the
first
Irish
Commissioners
(
who
came
of
purpose
to
attend
our
Parlement
with
som
grievances
)
with
such
a
short
unpolitic
harsh
answer
.
3.
They
who
took
off
Straffords
head
,
(
which
had
it
stood
on
,
that
Rebellion
had
never
been
)
and
afterwards
retarded
the
dispatch
of
the
Earl
of
Leicester
from
going
over
to
be
Lord-Lievtenant
.
4.
Lastly
,
they
,
who
hindred
part
of
that
disbanded
Army
of
8000
men
rais'd
there
by
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
which
His
Majesty
,
in
regard
they
were
souldiers
of
fortune
,
and
loose
casheer'd
men
,
to
prevent
the
mischiefs
that
might
befall
that
Kingdome
,
by
their
insolencies
,
had
promised
the
two
Spanish
Ambassadors
,
the
Marquesses
of
Veloda
and
Malvezzi
,
then
resident
in
this
Court
;
which
souldiers
rise
up
first
of
any
,
and
put
fire
to
the
tumult
to
find
somthing
to
do
.
They
,
I
say
,
who
did
all
this
,
may
be
justly
said
to
have
bin
the
tru
causes
of
that
horrid
Insurrection
in
Ireland
;
and
consequently
't
is
easie
to
judge
upon
the
account
of
whose
souls
must
be
laid
the
bloud
of
those
hundred
and
odd
thousand
poor
Christians
who
perished
in
that
war
▪
and
had
it
bin
possible
to
have
brought
o're
their
bodies
unputrified
to
England
,
and
to
have
cast
them
at
the
lower
House
door
,
and
in
the
presence
of
som
Members
,
which
are
now
either
secluded
,
or
gone
to
give
an
account
in
another
world
,
I
believe
their
noses
wold
have
gush'd
out
with
bloud
for
discovery
of
the
tru
murtherers
.
Touching
this
last
fire-brand
of
war
,
which
was
thrown
into
England
,
who
they
were
that
kindled
it
first
,
the
consciences
of
those
indifferent
and
unbiassed
men
are
sittest
to
be
judges
,
who
have
bin
curious
to
observe
with
impartial
eyes
,
the
carriage
of
things
from
the
beginning
.
I
confesse
,
't
was
a
fatal
unfortunat
thing
,
that
the
King
shold
put
such
a
distance
'twixt
his
Person
and
his
Parlement
,
but
a
more
fatal
and
barbarous
thing
it
was
,
that
he
should
be
driven
away
from
it
,
that
there
should
be
a
desperate
designe
to
surprize
His
Person
,
that
Ven
with
his
Myrmidons
,
and
Bourges
with
his
Bandogs
,
(
for
so
▪
they
calld
the
riffraff
of
the
City
they
brought
along
with
them
)
should
rabble
him
away
,
with
above
four
parts
in
five
of
the
Lords
,
and
near
upon
two
parts
in
three
of
the
Commons
:
Yet
't
is
fit
it
should
be
remembred
,
what
reiterated
Messages
His
Majesty
sent
from
time
to
time
afterward
,
That
he
was
alwaies
ready
to
return
,
provided
there
might
be
a
course
taken
to
secure
his
Person
,
with
those
Peers
and
other
who
were
rioted
away
from
the
Houses
,
'T
is
fit
it
should
be
remembred
,
that
there
was
not
the
least
motion
of
war
at
all
,
till
Hotham
kept
His
Majesty
out
of
His
own
Town
Kingston
upon
Hull
,
(
for
the
Name
whereof
shew'd
whose
Town
it
was
)
where
being
attended
by
a
few
of
His
meniall
Servants
,
he
came
onely
to
visit
her
,
having
peaceably
sent
the
Duke
of
York
,
and
the
Palsgrave
thither
the
day
before
)
which
act
of
Hotham's
by
shutting
the
gates
against
him
was
voted
warrantable
by
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
it
may
be
call'd
the
first
thunderbolt
of
War
:
'T
is
fit
it
should
be
remembred
,
that
a
while
after
there
was
a
compleate
Army
of
16000.
effectif
Horse
and
Foot
inrolled
in
and
about
London
to
fetch
him
to
his
Parliament
by
force
,
and
remove
ill
Counsellours
from
about
him
,
(
long
before
he
put
up
his
Royal
Standard
)
and
the
Generall
then
nam'd
was
to
live
and
die
with
them
:
and
very
observable
it
is
,
how
that
Generalls
Father
was
executed
for
a
Traytor
,
for
but
attempting
such
a
thing
upon
Queen
Elizabeth
,
I
mean
to
remove
ill
Counsellors
from
about
her
by
force
.
'T
is
also
to
be
observed
,
that
the
same
Army
which
was
rais'd
to
bring
him
to
his
Parliament
,
was
continued
to
a
clean
contrary
end
two
years
afterwards
to
keep
him
from
his
Parliament
.
'T
is
fit
it
should
be
remembred
,
who
interdicted
Trade
first
,
and
brought
in
Forraigners
to
help
them
,
and
whose
Commissions
of
War
were
neere
upon
two
moneths
date
before
the
Kings
.
'T
is
fit
it
should
be
remembred
how
His
Majesty
in
all
His
Declarations
and
publick
Instruments
made
alwaies
deep
Protestations
,
that
't
was
not
against
his
Parliament
he
raised
Armes
,
but
against
some
seditious
Members
,
against
whom
he
had
onely
desired
the
common
benefit
of
the
Law
,
but
could
not
obtain
it
;
'T
is
fit
to
remember
,
that
after
any
good
successes
and
advantages
of
his
,
he
still
Courted
both
Parliament
and
City
to
an
Accommodation
;
how
upon
the
Treaty
at
Uxbridge
,
with
much
importunity
for
the
generall
advantage
and
comfort
of
his
peeple
,
and
to
prepare
matters
more
fitly
for
a
peace
,
he
desired
there
might
be
freedom
of
Trade
from
Town
to
Town
,
and
a
Cessation
of
all
Acts
of
Hostility
for
the
time
,
that
the
inflammation
being
allayed
,
the
wound
might
be
cur●…d
the
sooner
;
all
which
was
denyed
him
.
'T
is
fit
to
remember
how
a
Noble
Lord
(
The
Earl
of
Southampton
)
at
that
time
told
the
Parliaments
Commissioners
in
His
Majesties
Name
,
at
the
most
unhappy
rupture
of
the
said
Treaty
,
That
when
he
was
at
the
highest
he
would
be
ready
to
treat
with
them
,
and
fight
them
when
he
was
at
the
lowest
:
'T
is
fit
the
present
Army
should
remember
how
often
both
in
their
Proposalls
,
and
publick
Declarations
they
have
inform'd
the
world
,
and
deeply
protested
that
their
principall
aime
was
to
restore
His
Majesty
to
honour
,
freedom
and
safety
,
whereunto
they
were
formerly
bound
,
both
by
their
own
Protestation
and
Covenant
,
that
the
two
Commanders
in
chief
pawn'd
unto
him
their
soules
thereupon
.
Let
them
remember
,
that
since
he
was
first
snatch'd
away
to
the
custody
of
the
Army
by
Cromwells
plot
,
who
said
,
that
if
they
had
the
Person
of
the
King
in
their
power
,
they
had
the
Parliament
in
their
pockets
.
I
say
being
kept
by
the
Army
,
He
never
displeas'd
them
in
the
least
particular
,
but
in
all
his
Overtures
for
Peace
,
and
in
all
his
Propositions
he
had
regard
still
that
the
Army
should
be
satisfied
:
let
it
be
remembred
,
that
to
settle
a
blessed
Peace
,
to
preserve
his
Subjects
from
rapine
and
ruine
,
and
to
give
contentment
to
his
Parliament
,
He
did
in
effect
freely
part
with
His
Sword
,
Scepter
,
and
Crown
,
and
ev'ry
thing
that
was
proprietary
to
him
:
Let
it
be
remembred
with
what
an
admired
temper
,
with
what
prudence
and
constancy
,
with
what
moderation
and
mansuetude
he
comported
himself
since
his
deep
afflictions
,
insomuch
that
those
Commissioners
and
others
who
resorted
unto
him
,
and
had
had
their
hearts
so
averse
unto
him
before
,
return'd
his
Converts
,
crying
him
up
to
be
one
of
the
sanctifiedst
persons
upon
earth
:
and
will
not
the
bloud
of
such
a
Prince
cry
loud
for
vengeance
?
Bloud
is
a
crying
sin
,
but
that
of
Kings
Cryes
loudest
for
revenge
,
and
ruine
brings
.
Let
it
be
remembred
,
that
though
there
be
some
Precedents
of
deposing
Kings
in
his
Kingdom
,
and
elsewhere
,
when
there
was
a
competition
for
the
right
Title
to
the
Crown
by
some
other
of
the
bloud
Royall
,
yet
't
is
a
thing
not
onely
unsampled
,
but
unheard
of
in
any
age
,
that
a
King
of
England
whose
Title
was
without
the
least
scruple
,
should
be
summon'd
and
arraign'd
,
tryed
,
condemned
,
and
executed
in
His
own
Kingdom
,
by
His
own
Subjects
,
and
by
the
name
of
their
own
King
,
to
whom
they
had
sworn
Alleagiance
.
The
meanest
Student
that
hath
but
tasted
the
Laws
of
the
Land
can
tell
you
,
that
it
is
an
unquestionable
fundamentall
Maxime
,
The
King
can
do
no
wrong
,
because
he
acts
by
the
mediation
of
his
Agents
and
Ministers
,
he
heares
with
other
mens
eares
,
he
sees
with
other
mens
eyes
,
he
consults
with
other
mens
braines
,
he
executes
with
other
mens
hands
,
and
judges
with
other
mens
consciences
;
therefore
his
Officers
Counsellors
or
favorites
are
punishable
,
not
He
:
and
I
know
not
one
yet
whom
he
hath
spar'd
,
but
sacrificed
to
Justice
.
The
Crown
of
England
is
of
so
coruscant
and
pure
a
mettall
▪
that
it
cannot
receive
the
least
taint
or
blemish
;
and
if
there
were
any
before
in
the
person
of
the
Prince
,
it
takes
them
all
away
and
makes
him
to
be
Rectus
in
curia
.
This
as
in
many
others
may
be
exemplified
in
Henry
the
Seventh
,
and
the
late
Queen
Elizabeth
:
when
she
first
came
to
the
Crown
't
was
mention'd
in
Parlement
,
that
the
attainder
might
be
taken
off
him
,
under
which
he
lay
all
the
time
he
liv'd
an
Exile
in
France
;
it
was
then
by
the
whole
house
of
Parlement
resolv'd
upon
the
question
,
that
it
was
unnecessary
,
because
the
Crown
purg'd
all
.
So
likewise
when
Queen
Elizabeth
was
brought
as
it
were
from
the
Scaffold
to
the
Throne
;
though
she
was
under
a
former
attainder
,
yet
't
was
thought
superfluous
to
take
it
off
,
for
the
Crown
washeth
away
all
spots
,
and
darteth
such
a
brightnesse
,
such
resplendent
beams
of
Majesty
,
that
quite
dispell
all
former
clouds
:
so
that
put
case
King
Iames
died
a
violent
death
,
and
his
Son
had
been
accessary
to
it
,
(
which
is
as
base
a
lie
as
ever
the
devil
belch'd
out
)
yet
his
accesse
to
the
Crown
had
purged
all
.
This
businesse
about
the
playster
which
was
applyed
to
King
Iames
,
was
sifted
and
winnow'd
as
narrowly
as
possibly
a
thing
could
be
in
former
Parlements
,
yet
when
it
was
exhibited
as
an
Article
against
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
't
was
term'd
but
a
presumption
or
misdemeanure
of
a
high
nature
:
And
't
is
strange
that
these
new
accusers
shold
make
that
a
parricide
in
the
King
,
which
was
found
but
a
presumption
in
the
Duke
,
who
in
case
it
had
been
so
,
must
needs
have
been
the
chiefest
Accessary
.
And
as
the
ancient
Crown
and
Royall
Diadem
of
England
is
made
of
such
pure
allay
,
and
cast
in
so
dainty
a
mould
,
that
it
can
receive
no
taint
,
or
contract
the
least
speck
of
enormity
and
foulenesse
in
it self
,
so
it
doth
endow
the
person
of
the
Prince
that
weares
it
with
such
high
Prerogatives
;
that
it
exempts
him
from
all
sorts
of
publique
blemishes
;
from
all
Attainders
,
Empeachments
,
Summons
,
Arraignments
and
Tryalls
;
nor
is
there
or
ever
was
any
Law
or
Precedent
in
this
Land
,
to
lay
any
Crime
or
capitall
charge
against
him
,
though
touching
civill
matters
:
touching
propertie
of
meum
and
tuum
,
he
may
be
impleaded
by
the
meanest
vassall
that
hath
sworn
fealty
to
him
;
as
the
Subjects
of
France
and
Spaine
may
against
their
Kings
,
though
never
so
absolute
Monarchs
.
In
the
Constitutions
of
England
,
there
are
two
incontroulable
Maximes
,
whereof
the
meanest
mootman
that
hath
but
saluted
Littleton
cannot
be
ignorant
:
the
first
is
,
Rex
in
suis
Dominiis
neque
habet
parem
,
nec
superiorem
.
The
King
in
his
own
Dominions
hath
neither
Peer
,
or
Superior
.
The
other
is
Satis
habet
Rex
ad
poenam
quod
Deum
expectet
ultorem
:
't
is
punishment
enough
for
a
King
that
God
will
take
revenge
of
him
:
Therefore
if
it
be
the
Fundamentall
Constitution
of
the
Land
,
that
all
just
Tryalls
must
be
by
Teers
,
and
that
the
Law
proclaimes
the
King
to
have
no
peer
in
his
own
Dominions
,
I
leave
the
world
to
judg
,
what
capacity
or
power
those
men
had
to
arraign
their
late
King
,
to
be
in
effect
his
Accusers
and
Iudges
;
and
that
an
exorbitant
unsampled
Tribunall
should
be
erected
,
with
power
and
purpose
to
condemn
All
to
cleer
none
,
and
that
sentence
of
death
should
passe
without
conviction
or
Law
upon
Him
that
was
the
heard
and
protector
of
all
the
Lawes
.
Lastly
,
that
They
who
by
their
own
confession
represent
but
the
Common
people
,
should
assume
power
to
cut
off
Him
who
immediately
represented
God
,
Cui
dabit
partes
scelus
expiandi
Iupiter
?
—
Well
,
we
have
seen
such
portentous
things
,
that
former
Ages
never
beheld
,
nor
will
future
Ages
ever
be
witnesse
of
the
like
:
Nay
,
posterity
,
after
a
Century
or
two
of
yeers
will
hold
what
is
now
really
acted
to
be
but
Romances
.
And
now
with
thoughts
full
of
consternation
and
horror
,
And
a
heart
trembling
with
amazement
and
sorrow
for
the
crying
flagrant
sins
of
this
forlorn
Nation
,
specially
for
that
fresh
Infandous
murther
committed
upon
the
sacred
Person
of
his
Majesty
,
I
conclude
with
this
Hepastick
,
wherein
all
cretures
(
though
irrationall
)
that
have
sence
,
yea
the
very
vegetalls
seeme
to
abhor
so
damnable
a
fact
.
So
fell
the
Royal
Oake
by
a
wild
crew
Of
mongrel

So
fell

So

So
fell

ADVICE
Sent
from
the
prime
Statesmen
OF
FLORENCE
,
HOW
ENGLAND
may
come
to
HERSELF
again
,
Which
is
,
To
call
in
the
KING
,
Not
upon
ARTICLES
,
But
in
a
Free
confident
way
:
Which
Advice
came
immediatly
upon
the
Readmission
of
the
Secluded
Members
,
And
Coppies
therof
being
delivered
to
the
Chiefest

It
produc'd
happy
Effects

A
Letter
sent
from
the
City
of
Florence
,
Written
by
a
Great
Counsellor
there
,
touching
the
present
Distempers
of
England
;
wherein
He
,
with
som
of
the
Prime
Statesmen
in
Florence
passe
their
Iudgements
which
is
the
onely
way
to
compose
the
said
Distempers
.
To
my
Honored
,
and
most
Endeared
Patron
.
IT
is
no
small
diminution
to
my
former
happinesse
that
I
have
not
receiv'd
your
commands
any
time
these
two
moneths
,
which
makes
me
lodg
within
me
certain
apprehensions
of
fear
that
som
disaste●…
might
befall
you
in
those
new
Distractions
,
therefore
I
pray
be
pleased
to
pull
this
thorn
out
of
my
thoughts
as
speedily
as
it
may
stand
with
your
conveniency
.
We
are
not
here
so
barren
of
Intelligence
,
but
we
have
weekly
advice
of
your
present
Confusions
,
and
truly
the
severest
sort
of
speculative
persons
here
who
use
to
observe
the
method
of
Providence
,
do
not
stick
to
say
,
that
the
hand
of
Heaven
doth
visibly
stirre
therein
,
and
that
those
Distractions
in
Army
,
State
,
and
City
are
apparent
judgements
from
above
,
for
if
one
revolve
the
Stories
of
former
Times
,
as
I
have
done
many
(
but
you
more
)
he
will
find
that
it
hath
been
alwaies
an
inevitable
Fate
which
useth
to
hang
over
all
popular
Insurrections
to
end
in
confusion
and
disorders
among
the
chief
actors
themselfs
at
last
;
And
we
have
had
divers
examples
thereof
here
among
us
,
which
hath
caus'd
us
to
be
so
long
in
quietnesse
and
peace
.
But
truly
Sir
,
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
that
your
Nation
hath
lost
much
of
their
Repute
abroad
all
the
World
over
in
statu
quo
nunc
;
Som
do
laugh
at
you
;
Others
do
scorn
,
and
hate
you
;
And
som
do
pitty
and
comiserat
you
.
They
who
laugh
at
you
,
think
you
are
no
better
than
Mand
men
▪
having
strange
Magots
in
your
brains
bred
out
of
the
fat
of
so
long
wanton
plenty
,
and
peace
.
They
who
scorn
and
hate
you
,
do
it
for
your
Sacriledge
,
your
horrendous
Sacrileges
,
the
like
whereof
was
never
committed
on
Earth
since
Christianity
had
first
a
hole
to
put
her
head
in
.
They
who
pitty
you
are
few
,
and
We
are
of
the
nomber
of
Them
,
as
well
in
the
common
sense
of
Humanity
,
as
for
the
advantages
,
and
improvement
of
Wealth
which
this
State
hath
receiv'd
by
your
Trading
at
Ligorne
,
for
that
Town
doth
acknowledge
her
prosperity
,
and
that
she
is
arrived
to
this
flourishing
Estate
of
Riches
,
of
Buildings
and
bravery
by
the
correspondence
she
hath
had
this
latter
Age
with
England
in
point
of
Commerce
,
which
yet
we
find
doth
insensibly
impair
every
day
,
and
I
believe
you
feel
it
more
;
Therefore
out
of
the
well-wishes
,
and
true
affections
we
bear
unto
England
,
some
of
the
most
serious
,
and
soberest
Persons
of
this
place
who
are
well
seasoned
in
the
World
,
and
have
studyed
men
under
divers
Climes
,
and
conversed
also
much
with
Heavenly
Bodies
,
had
lately
a
private
Junto
,
or
meeting
,
whereunto
I
was
admitted
for
one
,
and
two
of
us
had
been
in
England
where
we
received
sundry
free
Civilities
;
Our
main
businesse
was
to
discourse
,
and
descant
upon
these
sad
confusions
,
and
calamitous
condition
wherein
England
with
the
adjoyning
Kingdomes
are
at
present
involved
,
and
what
might
extricate
Her
out
of
this
Labyrinth
of
Distractions
,
and
reduce
Her
to
a
setled
Government
;
Having
long
canvased
the
businesse
,
and
banded
arguments
pro
&
con
with
much
earnestnesse
,
all
our
opinious
did
concenter
at
last
in
this
point
,
That
there
was
no
probable
way
under
Heaven
to
settle
a
fast
,
and
firm
Government
among
you
,
then
for
the
Men
that
are
now
upon
the
Stage
of
power
to
make
a
speedy
application
to
their
own
King
,
their
own
Liege
Lord
and
Soveraigne
,
whom
God
,
and
Nature
hath
put
over
them
;
Let●…
them
beat
their
brains
,
scrue
up
their
witts
,
and
put
all
the
policy
they
have
upon
the
tenterhooks
as
farre
as
possibly
they
can
,
yet
they
will
never
be
able
to
establish
a
durable
standing
Government
otherwise
,
They
do
but
dance
in
a
circle
all
this
while
,
for
the
Government
will
turn
at
last
to
the
same
point
it
was
before
▪
viz.
to
Monarchy
,
and
this
King
will
be
restored
to
His
Royall
Inheritances
,
maugre
all
the
Cacodaemons
of
Hell
:
Our
Astrologers
here
,
specially
the
famous
Antonio
Fiselli
hath
had
notes
to
look
into
the
horoscope
of
his
Nativity
,
and
what
predictions
he
hath
made
hitherto
of
him
have
proved
true
to
my
knowledge
,
He
now
confidently
averrs
,
with
the
concurrence
of
the
rest
,
that
the
aspect
of
all
the
starrs
,
and
conjunction
of
the
Planetts
much
favour
him
the
next
two
yeares
;
Nam

For
the
Medium
coeli
in
the
Geniture
of
Charles
the
Second
according
to
the
axiomes
of
Genethliacall
Astrology
is
directed
to
the
Sextile
rayes
of
the
Moon
,
and
signifies
an
accesse
to
Dominion
.
Adde
hereunto
that
a
most
lucky
conjunction
followes
the
same
year
,
in
the
very
Centre
of
the
said
Kings
horoscope
betwixt
Iupiter
and
Sol
in
the
moneth
of
September
.
When
I
was
employed
by
this
State
in
Paris
not
many
years
agoe
,
I
had
occasion
to
make
my
addresse
to
your
young
King
,
and
when
I
observed
His
Physiognomy
,
and
the
Lineaments
of
his
face
,
I
seemed
to
discern
in
it
something
extraordinary
above
vulgar
countenances
,
and
that
he
carryed
a
Majesty
in
His
very
looks
,
and
noting
besides
the
goodly
procerity
,
and
constitution
of
His
body
,
he
seemed
to
be
cut
out
for
a
King.
Now
,
in
point
of
extraction
,
and
lineage
,
it
cannot
be
denyed
but
he
is
one
of
the
greatest
born
Princes
that
ever
was
in
the
world
;
for
whereas
His
Grand-Father
,
and
Father
were
allyed
onely
if
you
regard
Forraigne
Consanguinity
,
to
the
House
of
Denmark
and
the
Guyses
,
this
King
bears
in
his
veines
not
onely
that
bloud
,
but
also
the
blouds
of
all
the
great
Princes
of
Christendom
,
being
nearly
linked
to
the
House
of
Bourbon
and
France
,
to
the
House
of
Austria
,
and
consequently
to
the
Emperour
,
and
Spaine
,
as
also
to
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
and
our
Grand-Duke
:
Moreover
he
is
nearly
allyed
to
all
the
greatest
Princes
of
Germany
,
as
the
Saxe
,
Brandenburg
,
Bavaria
,
the
Palsgrave
,
and
to
the
Duke
of
Lorain
who
descends
in
the
directest
line
from
Charlemain
;
Adde
hereunto
that
the
young
Prince
of
Orenge
is
his
Nephew
,
and
which
is
considerable
he
is
a
pure
Englishman
born
,
whereas
your
two
former
Kings
were
Forreigners
.
The
Queen
His
Mother
is
of
as
Glorious
an
Extraction
,
which
makes
me
admire
the
frontlesse
impudence
of
some
of
your
poor
Pamphletors
who
call
Her
ever
and
anon
the
Little
Queen
,
notwithstanding
that
the
World
knowes
Her
to
be
the
Daughter
of
Henry
the
Great
,
and
Queen
of
Great
Britain
,
which
Title
and
Character
is
indelible
,
and
must
die
with
Her.
Hereunto
may
be
adjoyn'd
,
that
this
young
King
is
now
mounted
to
the
Meridian
of
his
Age
,
and
maturity
of
judgement
to
govern
,
and
doubtlesse
hee
is
like
to
make
a
rare
Governour
,
having
this
advantage
of
all
other
Soverain
Princes
in
the
world
to
have
been
bredd
up
in
the
Schoole
of
Affliction
so
long
,
to
have
Travelled
so
many
strange
Countreys
and
observed
the
humors
of
so
many
Nations
.
But
to
come
to
the
Cardinall
point
of
our
Communication
,
after
divers
debates
,
and
alterations
how
England
might
be
brought
to
a
stable
condition
of
tranquility
and
perfect
peace
,
to
her
former
lustre
,
and
glory
,
the
finall
result
of
all
,
ended
in
this
,
that
there
was
no
other
imaginable
meanes
to
do
it
then
for
you
to
make
a
timely
and
fitting
humble
addresse
unto
your
own
King
,
and
without
question
it
is
in
his
power
to
grant
you
such
an
absolute
pardon
,
such
an
abolition
of
all
things
pass'd
,
such
a
gracious
Amnestia
,
such
Royall
concessions
that
may
extend
to
the
security
of
every
person
for
the
future
that
was
engaged
in
these
your
revolutions
,
both
touching
his
life
and
fortunes
;
Unlesse
their
guilt
of
Conscience
be
such
that
like
Cain
or
Iudas
they
thinke
their
Sinne
is
greater
then
can
be
forgiven
them
.
Now
the
mode
of
your
application
to
Him
may
avail
much
,
for
if
you
chopp
Logique
with
him
too
farr
,
and
stand
upon
Puntillios
,
and
too
rigid
termes
,
if
you
shew
your selfs
full
of
feares
,
jealousies
,
and
distrusts
,
it
will
intangle
,
and
quite
marr
the
businesse
,
for
in
a
Soveraign
Prince
ther
must
be
an
Implicit
,
unavoidable
necessary
trust
repos'd
by
his
peeple
,
which
all
the
Laws
that
mans
brain
can
possibly
invent
cannot
provide
against
;
Therefore
if
you
proceed
in
a
frank
,
and
confident
tru
English
way
you
may
work
upon
his
affections
more
powerfully
,
and
overcome
him
sooner
so
,
then
by
any
outward
Arms
,
This
way
will
make
such
tender
impressions
,
upon
that
he
will
grant
more
then
you
can
possibly
expect
.
Some
Forein
Historians
as
the
French
Comines
and
our
Guicciardin
do
cry
up
the
English
Nation
for
using
to
love
their
King
in
a
more
intense
degree
then
other
peeple
,
and
to
regard
his
honour
in
a
higher
strain
,
to
support
which
they
have
bin
alwayes
so
ready
,
and
cheerful
both
with
their
persons
and
purses
;
There
is
now
a
fair
opportunity
offered
to
rake
up
the
embers
of
these
old
affections
,
and
to
recover
the
Reputation
of
tru
Englishmen
;
There
is
no
peeple
but
may
sometimes
stand
in
their
own
light
,
go
astray
,
and
err
,
for
Error
was
one
of
the
first
frailties
that
were
entayled
upon
man
(
and
his
posterity
)
as
soon
as
he
was
thrust
out
of
Paradis
;
'T
is
a
human
thing
to
err
,
but
to
persevere
in
an
error
is
diabolicall
;
You
shall
do
well
and
wisely
to
follow
the
example
of
the
Spanish
Mule
,
who
out
of
a
kind
of
wantonesse
being
gone
out
of
the
high
beaten
road
into
a
by
path
,
which
led
her
to
a
dirty
narrow
lane
full
of
pitts
and
holes
,
at
last
she
came
to
the
top
of
a
huge
hideous
Rock
where
she
could
go
no
farther
,
for
before
her
ther
was
inevitable
destruction
,
and
the
lane
was
so
narrow
that
she
could
not
turn
her
body
back
,
therupon
in
this
extremity
she
put
one
foot
gently
after
an
other
,
and
Crablike
went
backward
untill
she
came
again
to
the
common
road
;
This
must
be
your
course
,
by
a
gentle
retrogradation
to
come
into
the
Kings
high
road
again
,
and
ther
is
no
question
but
he
will
meet
you
more
than
three
parts
of
the
way
:
If
you
do
not
,
truly
in
our
opinions
you
will
precipitat
your selfs
down
a
Rock
of
inevitable
destruction
;
For
Heaven
and
Earth
are
conspir'd
to
restore
him
,
and
though
all
the
Spirits
of
the
Air
shold
joyn
with
you
,
you
shall
not
be
able
to
oppose
it
.
I
presume
you
are
not
ignorant
how
●…he
two
great
Monarks
of
Spain
and
France
(
which
may
be
said
to
be
the
main
Poles
wheron
Europe
doth
move
)
have
comprehended
him
within
the
private
capitulations
of
peace
,
The
Emperour
hath
promised
to
wed
his
quarrell
,
and
there
is
no
Prince
or
State
in
Christendom
but
would
gladly
reach
a
frendly
hand
to
restore
him
,
being
depriv'd
of
his
birth-right
,
and
his
Royal
indubitable
Inheritance
(
as
you
your
felfs
confesse
)
for
observing
the
fifth
commandement
,
for
obeying
his
Father
and
Mother
;
From
which
Birth-right
he
may
be
said
to
have
been
thrust
out
when
he
was
in
the
state
of
Innocency
,
being
but
in
a
manner
a
Child
,
and
very
young
then
.
Now
touching
your selfs
I
will
not
flatter
you
,
but
plainly
tell
you
that
you
have
not
one
friend
any
where
beyond
the
Seas
,
nay
your
great
Confederate
the
Swed
(
as
I
had
good
intelligence
)
could
upbraid
one
of
your
Ambassadors
that
are
now
there
,
that
He
had
not
washed
his
hands
clean
since
they
had
been
embrued
in
His
Princes
bloud
.
The
time
that
I
sojourned
in
England
I
was
curious
to
read
your
Annals
,
and
to
make
some
inspections
into
your
Laws
,
and
Method
of
Government
;
as
also
into
the
Genius
of
the
peeple
,
and
I
find
there
is
no
species
of
Government
that
suits
better
with
the
nature
of
the
Inhabitants
,
the
quality
of
the
Clime
,
and
relates
more
directly
to
the
civil
Constitutions
,
Laws
,
and
Customs
of
the
Land
then
Monarchal
;
The
I
le
of
Great
Britain
hath
been
alwaies
a
Royall
Island
from
her
very
Creation
,
from
her
Infancy
,
she
may
be
said
to
have
worn
a
Crown
in
her
Cradle
,
and
although
she
had
four
or
five
Revolutions
and
changes
of
Masters
,
yet
she
still
continued
Royal
,
whereunto
alludes
a
saying
that
I
observed
in
your
old
Records
,
Britannia
ab
initio
mundi
semper
fuit
Regia
,
&
Regimen
Illiu●…
simile
illi
caelorum
:
Great
Britain
hath
been
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
Royall
,
and
Her
Government
like
that
of
the
Heavens
.
Therefore
,
all
these
premises
being
weighed
in
the
balance
of
true
judgement
you
shall
do
well
,
and
wisely
to
recollect
your selfs
,
and
call
in
your
hopefull
young
King
,
whose
Title
your
consciences
do
acknowledge
to
be
unquestionable
,
otherwise
it
is
not
onely
improbable
but
impossible
for
England
to
be
Her self
again
,
and
to
be
setled
in
any
stable
Government
which
may
reach
to
posterity
;
you
may
wind
up
your
wits
as
high
as
you
can
,
you
may
consult
with
your
first
,
second
,
and
third
thoughts
,
but
will
never
be
able
to
settle
a
fixed
Government
,
you
will
be
still
at
a
losse
,
your
Debates
will
be
like
a
skeyn
of
ravell'd
threed
,
you
will
be
in
a
labyrinth
of
confusions
,
and
the
end
of
one
,
will
be
still
the
beginning
of
another
.
To
conclude
,
the
current
and
concurrent
opinion
of
all
Ministers
of
State
here
both
Forren
and
Florentine
is
,
that
if
you
do
not
make
a
timely
application
to
your
King
,
you
will
have
all
the
Princes
of
Christendom
about
your
ears
,
and
what
a
sad
calamitous
Country
,
what
an
Aceldama
will
England
be
then
?
Therefore
if
there
be
a
true
Patriot
,
and
publick
soul
amongst
you
,
if
there
be
ever
any
drops
of
true
English
bloud
running
in
your
veins
,
or
the
least
spark
of
nationall
fire
and
affections
glowing
in
your
bosoms
toward
your
own
dear
Country
,
prevent
these
imminent
dangers
,
and
invite
your
King
by
discreet
and
moderate
proposals
;
The
gallant
Samnit
General
could
tell
the
Romans
who
had
over
powred
them
,
that
if
they
gave
them
easie
and
gentle
capitulations
they
would
perform
them
,
but
if
they
would
tye
them
to
too
high
and
strict
terms
,
they
would
observe
them
no
longer
then
they
cold
have
opportunity
to
break
them
.
Touching
the
affairs
of
Italy
,
we
are
like
to
have
a
general
blessed
peace
this
side
the
Alpes
,
and
Lombardy
who
hath
been
so
pittifully
harass'd
a
long
time
,
and
hath
had
her
face
so
often
scratch'd
,
is
in
a
fair
way
to
recover
her
former
beauty
;
