An Alarum to the City and Souldiery , God grant they may not neglect it . Gentlemen , and fellow Souldiers ,

AT this time , when our Ruine and Destruction is upon us , there is no place for many words . The Fifth Monarchy men are Arm'd , Officer'd , and every way in a Readiness , upon the word given them , to surprise and suppress the Army , to Fire the City , and to Massacre all considerable People of all sorts , whom they suspect averse to what they impiously designed . Feake hath lately 〈◊〉 them the Alarum in Print : Sir Henry Vane is Chief in the Design , and lately said in confidence to a Friend , This Army was any way to be suppress'd ; for otherwise , they should not be permitted to sit long . The Parliaments new Militia , and their Listings in several Counties , is in order to no other Design . If God gives you not eyes to see the destruction that is even at your dores , or if you see it , you want hearts and courage to prevent it , it then seems the Decree is gone out against you . You have your Warning , and we have done our Duties . Beware Tuesday next ; we say , Beware .

June 6. 1659.
