A PROCLAMATION against the Home-loyterers , Recusants to the common Cause , within the Colledge of Iustice , as followeth , WEE blamelesse Beautie , badges bright of peace , White shining smyles of Lady Iustice face ; And glory of that pomp expecting Traine , Whose aymes by us , are honour now to gaine . For as much as that fleeing herald Fame , Doth still by her eare-batring voice proclame Each where ; that for our Crowne & Faiths defence , Our present progresse keepes a residence ; Here in Dunglasse , where now our curious Eyes , With long-worne looks , as waking watch-men lyes Still in await : as pleasing to bee deign'd Here to attend those unto us assign'd , By Truths blew Flags , our sister in degree , Both sprung from noble Iustice pedigree : As als our patience did not yet disdaine , To wait the lurking fragments of our Traine That yet remaines : as our assur'd supplie , Bought long agoe by love , and clemencie : Albeit to them heavens helping hand hath beene Most liberall , as mortall eyes hath seene : Whose prodigall usher Ladie Providence . Fraught their desires with a right large expence , Of golden strength , by nursing Vertues hand , And made them strong in our just Cause to stand ; Under the shelter of our famous Name , Which by the right of thankfulnesse wee claime : Aye due by them , and that for their supplie Of true Religion , and our Libertie : That so our sight might terrifie our foe , As did our noble Name a yeare a-goe . But O! those hopes were blasted long ere Time Could bring these blossomes to an happie prime . Whose fruits ( deceit's , Nay , rather ) in respect , They nothing bring but showes , of mere neglect . Which all men knowes , did spring from servile fear , Or churlish-mindes , that now the swey doth bear . Yet whilst wee did , sweet smylling Peace enjoy , Then seem'd they readie Subjects to imploy ; And trac'd the Streets with such a gallent grace , As if their worth consisted in their pace : But when proud Mars once shew his angrie brow , Their fainting hearts then seem'd for feare to bow . Their courage which their tongues some times did keep Now in their secret Cels doth soundly sleep . With gaping gried they glorie in their gaine , Which lurking they atchieved with honours staine They care not for their Faith , nor Countries good , So they buy ease with their own Brethrens blood . Thus then ( wee see ) their Faith , and courage cold , Now make their feeble breasts in nothing bold , Except it bee a Venus to imbrace , Much more esteem'd , than brave Bellonas face : Then lo , what cause wee have so to proclame , Them wanting braines to under-prop our Name . HErefore since threats , nor our perswasions faire , Nothing avails , Wee will , and wee declare That this afore-nam'd home delighting Crew , As well of White , as of the collours Blew , Bee from hence-forth , and by all humane lawes , Esteem'd Recusants , to our noble Cause . And als wee finde , and thinke expedient , That they , and every one of them bee rent : And cut cleane off , with shames infamous strock , As withred Boughes from blooming Iustice stock . And wee command , that this our will bee shown , And in each place , that Fame doe make it known . Which we here stamp with Truth faire Iustice seal , That never died : nor ever yet shall fail . Daited from Dunglasse 26. of Iuly , 1640. This Proclamation 's seal'd that now I bring , With great Apollo's hand adorning Reigne . Tho. Plaine Clerke .
