The
Mysterie
of
the
two
Iuntos
,
Presbyterian
and
Independent
.
THe
Kingdome
being
overgrowne
with
Prerogative
,
Corruption
,
and
Superstition
(
the
fruits
of
a
long
and
lazie
peace
)
by
a
long
discontinuance
of
Parliaments
;
At
last
by
Providence
his
Majestie
was
necessitated
to
call
a
Parliament
the
onely
Colledge
of
Physitians
to
purge
the
much
distempered
body
of
the
Common-wealth
.
In
this
Parliament
a
contest
betweene
the
Kings
Prerogative
and
the
peoples
lawes
and
liberties
begat
a
warre
.
The
Divines
on
both
sides
out
of
their
pulpits
sounding
Alarme
thereto
:
and
not
only
Sermons
;
but
Declarations
of
Parliament
,
and
the
Nationall
Covenant
,
(
holding
forth
to
the
people
the
defence
of
Religion
,
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
properties
)
inflamed
the
people
to
the
rage
of
battle
,
as
the
Elephant
is
inraged
at
the
sight
of
Red.
This
warre
occasioned
extraordinary
Taxes
and
leavies
of
money
,
such
as
was
never
heard
of
by
our
Ancestours
,
and
were
Irritamenta
malorum
,
the
nurse
of
our
Corruptions
.
This
incentive
working
upon
the
humane
frailty
of
the
speaking
and
leading
members
of
the
Houses
,
Wherefore
the
said
Leading
men
or
Grandees
(
for
that
is
now
Parliament
language
.
two
factions
or
Junto's
:
Presbyterians
,
and
Independents
:
seeming
to
look
only
upon
the
Church
,
but
(
Religion
having
the
strongest
operation
upon
the
spirit
of
man
)
involved
the
interests
of
the
Common-wealth
.
The
Common
people
of
the
two
houses
following
(
with
an
implicite
faith
and
blind
obedience
)
the
example
of
their
leaders
,
divided
themselves
also
into
the
said
Dichotomy
;
which
they
did
with
more
seriousnesse
then
their
leaders
,
as
not
perceiving
any
thing
of
designe
therein
:
But
according
to
the
diversity
of
their
judgements
,
or
rather
fancyes
and
confidings
(
for
to
resigne
a
mans
judgement
to
the
opinion
of
another
man
is
but
a
silly
trust
and
confidence
)
studied
the
to
holding
of
their
parties
with
earnestnesse
;
whilst
the
Grandees
of
each
party
in
private
close
together
for
their
owne
advancement
,
serving
one
anothers
turn
.
The
Grandees
(
in
all
publique
debates
)
seeme
as
reall
in
their
reciprocall
oppositions
,
as
those
silly
ones
who
are
in
earnest
,
whereby
they
cherish
the
zeal
of
their
respective
partyes
,
keepe
them
still
divided
,
(
Divide
&
impera
is
the
devils
rule
)
and
so
amuse
them
,
and
take
them
off
from
looking
after
other
interests
,
in
which
(
were
they
conjoyned
)
they
might
share
with
the
Grandees
themselves
:
and
for
the
better
contentment
of
such
their
Confidents
as
look
too
intentively
after
their
own
gain
,
the
Grandees
of
each
Junto
conferre
something
of
advantage
upon
those
that
are
subservient
to
them
,
as
five
pounds
a
week
,
or
some
petty
imployment
.
The
seeds
of
these
factions
spread
themselves
into
the
Common-wealth
and
Armies
:
as
Rheume
distils
from
the
Head
into
all
the
body
.
seemingly
divided
themselves
,
and
having
really
divided
the
Houses
:
and
captivated
their
respective
parties
judgement
,
teaching
them
by
an
Implicite
faith
Jurare
in
verba
Magistri
,
to
pinne
their
opinions
upon
their
sleeves
;
They
begin
to
advance
their
Projects
of
Monopolizing
the
profits
,
preferments
and
Power
of
the
Kingdome
in
themselves
.
To
which
purpose
,
though
the
leaders
of
each
party
seem
to
maintain
a
hot
opposition
,
yet
when
any
profit
or
preferment
is
to
be
reached
at
;
It
is
observed
that
a
powerfull
Independent
especially
moves
for
a
Presbyterian
:
or
a
leading
Presbiterian
for
an
Independent
:
and
seldome
doth
one
oppose
or
speak
against
another
(
in
such
cases
)
unlesse
something
of
particular
spleen
or
Competition
come
between
,
which
causeth
them
to
break
the
common
Rule
.
By
this
meanes
the
Grandees
of
each
faction
seldome
misse
their
mark
,
since
an
Independent
moving
for
a
Presbyterian
,
his
reputation
carries
the
businesse
cleare
with
the
Independent
party
:
and
the
Presbyterians
will
not
oppose
a
leading
man
of
their
own
side
.
By
this
artifice
the
Grandees
of
each
side
share
the
Common
wealth
between
them
:
And
are
now
become
proud
,
domineering
Rehoboams
(
even
over
the
rest
of
their
follow
members
▪
contrary
to
the
liberty
of
Parl.
which
consists
in
an
equality
)
that
were
formerly
fawning
ambitious
Absoloms
.
There
hath
been
lately
given
away
to
members
openly
(
besides
innumerable
and
inestimable
private
cheates
mutually
connived
at
)
at
least
300000
l.
in
money
;
besides
rich
offices
,
Imployments
in
money
Committees
,
Sequestrations
,
and
other
advantages
.
And
those
members
who
have
so
well
served
themselves
under
colour
of
serving
the
publique
,
are
(
for
the
most
part
)
old
Canvasers
of
Factions
who
have
sate
idly
and
safely
in
the
house
watching
their
advantages
to
confound
businesses
,
and
shuffle
the
cardes
to
make
their
owne
game
,
when
others
that
have
ventured
their
persons
abroad
,
labour'd
in
the
publick
work
like
Isaelites
under
these
Egyptian
task-masters
,
and
lost
their
estates
,
are
left
to
sterve
,
untill
they
can
find
reliefe
in
that
empty
bag
,
called
by
fooles
fides
publica
,
by
wise
men
fides
punica
.
And
are
now
looked
upon
in
the
House
superciliously
,
like
unwelcome
guests
(
for
it
is
known
how
malignantly
and
how
juglingly
writs
for
new
elections
were
granted
and
executed
)
and
called
younger
brothers
,
and
like
younger
brothers
they
are
used
:
their
elder
brothers
having
slipped
into
the
world
before
them
,
and
anticipated
the
inheritance
;
They
have
broken
first
into
the
common
field
,
and
shut
the
dore
to
prevent
after
commers
even
from
gleaning
after
their
full
harvest
.
For
the
better
effecting
whereof
they
have
now
morgaged
(
in
effect
)
all
the
meanes
they
have
to
raise
money
,
unto
the
City
.
And
being
themselves
fat
and
full
with
the
publike
Treasure
(
to
expresse
rather
their
scorne
then
care
.
)
Ther
are
making
an
Ordinance
that
no
more
money
shall
be
given
to
their
members
:
And
yet
to
shew
how
carefull
they
are
of
all
such
as
have
cheated
the
Common-wealth
under
them
(
I
will
not
say
for
them
)
They
have
taken
advantage
of
the
petition
of
the
Army
:
wherein
they
desired
Indempnity
for
all
acts
done
in
relation
to
the
warre
.
And
have
passed
an
Ordinance
of
Indempnity
for
all
such
,
as
have
acted
by
authority
,
and
for
the
service
of
the
Parliament
,
wherein
(
under
great
penalties
,
&
with
an
app●ale
at
last
from
the
Judges
of
the
Law
,
to
a
Comittee
of
Parliament
)
such
as
have
gone
beyond
the
authority
given
by
Parliament
,
and
sequestred
men
unjustly
and
so
withheld
their
goods
under
pretence
thereof
,
and
such
as
have
leavied
taxes
three
or
four
times
over
,
are
quit
from
private
actions
:
and
the
benefite
of
Law
and
Justice
taken
from
the
Oppressed
,
to
secure
countrey
Committees
,
Sequestrators
,
and
others
,
(
not
Prerogative
,
but
Legislative
)
Theeves
;
contrary
to
Magna
Charta
,
which
saies
,
,
nulli
negabimus
,
nulli
differemus
justitiam
,
aut
rectum
;
We
will
deny
,
or
deferre
justice
and
right
to
no
man
.
Oh
prodigious
acts
!
and
of
greater
tyranny
then
any
King
ever
durst
adventure
upon
.
What
is
become
of
our
Nationall
Cov.
and
the
Parliament
many
Declarations
for
defence
of
Lawes
and
Liberty
?
Or
have
we
fought
our
libertie
into
slavery
?
By
these
devises
the
honest
middle
men
of
the
House
(
whose
consciences
will
not
let
them
joyn
in
any
faction
to
rend
the
Common-wealth
in
sunder
)
are
out
of
all
possibility
of
repaire
,
and
made
contemptible
as
well
by
their
own
want
,
as
the
pride
of
the
Grandees
:
and
in
the
end
,
their
poverty
will
inforce
them
to
leave
the
sole
possession
of
the
house
to
these
thriving
Junto
men
,
who
do
beleaguer
them
therin
,
making
them
(
for
farther
addition
to
their
losses
)
pay
all
taxes
from
which
the
thriving
men
go
free
:
so
that
the
poorer
part
of
the
house
payes
tribute
to
the
richer
.
Nay
it
is
further
whispered
,
that
at
last
the
Junto
men
will
quit
the
Parliament
Priviledge
of
not
being
sued
,
purposely
to
leave
these
younger
Brothers
to
the
mercy
of
their
Creditors
,
and
disable
them
to
sit
in
their
House
.
An
other
ambitious
ayme
of
those
Junto
men
is
their
devise
of
referring
all
businesses
of
moment
to
Committees
.
fore-stall
and
intercept
the
businesses
of
the
house
,
and
under
colour
of
examining
and
preparing
matters
,
they
report
them
to
the
house
with
what
glosses
,
additions
,
detractions
,
and
advantages
they
please
;
whereby
the
House
(
judging
according
to
their
report
)
oftentimes
mis-judgeth
,
and
if
it
be
a
business
they
are
willing
to
smoother
,
the
Committees
have
infinite
artificiall
delayes
to
put
it
off
,
and
keep
it
from
a
hearing
,
or
at
least
from
reporting
.
By
this
meanes
the
remaining
part
of
the
House
are
but
cyphers
to
value
,
and
Suffragans
to
ratifie
what
is
fore-judged
by
the
said
Committees
.
This
usurpation
of
theirs
is
much
helped
by
keeping
the
doors
of
their
Committee
roomes
shut
,
and
dispatching
all
affaires
privately
and
in
the
darke
.
Whereas
Justice
delights
in
the
light
,
and
ought
to
be
as
publique
as
the
common
aire
,
it
being
against
its
nature
to
be
chambred
up
and
kept
from
the
observation
of
eye
,
and
eare
witnesses
.
Parts
of
this
project
wee
may
well
call
the
Multiplicity
of
money
Committees
,
as
Goldsmiths
hall
,
Haberdashers
hall
,
The
like
may
be
said
of
such
members
as
(
in
scorne
of
the
self-denying
Ordinances
)
hold
offices
by
gift
or
connivence
of
the
Parliament
:
either
openly
in
their
own
name
,
M.
Sands
holdeth
the
chair
;
yet
is
this
meerly
a
formallitie
to
blind
the
eyes
of
the
world
,
and
foole
the
expectation
of
some
losing
members
,
who
were
then
resolute
to
know
who
had
already
received
satisfaction
for
their
losses
,
and
how
farre
they
had
outrunne
their
fellow-members
therein
.
Yet
this
Committee
is
now
let
fall
,
no
reports
demanded
of
M.
Sand
:
and
when
any
is
to
be
made
;
they
are
not
unprovided
of
a
meanes
to
make
it
fruitlesse
,
by
putting
every
particular
to
debate
:
well
knowing
that
no
man
will
be
willing
to
argue
against
the
particular
persons
and
merits
of
his
fellow-members
,
and
thereby
heape
envie
upon
his
own
head
;
besides
the
delay
of
a
particular
debate
.
How
frequently
the
countrey
Committees
act
contrary
to
the
Laws
of
the
Land
:
to
hear
and
determine
(
or
rather
to
determine
without
hearing
,
or
heare
without
understanding
)
private
controversies
of
Meum
▪
&
Tuum
,
for
debts
,
trespasses
,
nay
title
and
possession
of
lands
without
either
formality
or
knowledge
of
the
Law
,
not
having
wit
,
manners
nor
breeding
enough
(
as
being
chosen
for
the
greatest
part
,
out
o●
the
basest
of
the
people
for
base
ends
)
to
satisfy
men
with
an
outside
,
or
Complement
of
justice
:
Insomuch
that
nothing
is
now
more
Common
,
then
an
accusation
without
an
Accuser
,
a
sentence
without
a
Judge
,
and
a
condemnation
without
a
hearing
.
If
any
man
,
I
say
,
be
so
deaf
as
not
to
heare
the
loud
universall
outcrying
of
the
people
;
so
great
a
stranger
in
our
Israel
as
not
to
know
this
truth
,

but
to

These
Committees
are
excellent
spunges
to
suck

Fortification
money
,
&c.
By
these
severall
wayes
and
Taxes
about
40
millions
in
money
and
money
worth
have
been
milked
from
the
People
:
and
the
Parliament
as
(
the
Pope
did
once
)
may
call
England
,
Puteum
inexhaustum
;
yet
is
now
almost
drawn
day
.
A
vast
Treasury
,
and
so
excessive
,
as
nothing
but
a
long
peace
could
import
:
and
nothing
but
much
fraud
and
many
follies
could
dissipate
.
And
we
ought
not
to
wonder
if
it
be
accounted
●nter
arcana
novissimi
imperii
to
be
alwayes
making
,
yet
never
finishing
an
account
thereof
.
And
though
we
have
a
generall
Committee
of
Accompts
,
Inter
quotidianus
rapinas
semper
inops
)
they
are
falne
to
such
ridiculous
want
and
beggerie
,
that
they
have
lately
pawned
almost
all
the
security
they
have
for
200000.l
.
to
disband
the
Armie
,
and
enter
upon
the
Irish
imployment
.
They
have
slit
Goldsmiths
Hall
in
sunder
,
and
given
one
side
thereof
to
the
Citie
,
and
kept
the
other
halfe
thereof
to
themselves
,
and
that
already
charged
with
200000.l
.
at
least
.
So
that
if
any
sudden
occasion
happen
,
they
have
put
their
purse
into
the
hands
of
the
uncircumcised
Jews
of
the
City
,
and
cannot
raise
one
peny
but
by
new
taxes
upon
the
people
.
It
was
worth
observing
to
see
how
officiously
some
of
the
old
Stagers
took
leave
of
the
Publique
purse
,
before
it
came
into
Hucksters
hands
.
Alderman
Pennington
had
a
debt
of
3000.
l.
he
owed
to
Sir
Iohn
Pennington
forgiven
him
,
(
he
never
asked
forgivenesse
of
his
sins
so
heartily
)
and
3000.l
.
more
given
him
out
of
Goldsmiths
Hall
in
course
.
The
reason
of
this
bounty
was
forked
or
two-fold
:
1.
Because
he
had
got
enough
before
.
2.
To
comfort
his
heart
,
for
being
left
out
of
the
City
Militia
.
But
the
most
observable
thing
was
,
to
see
this
old
Parliament
like
a
young
Prodigall
,
take
up
money
upon
difficult
termes
,
and
intangle
all
they
had
for
a
security
.
1.
They
gave
way
to
the
City
to
hedge
in
an
old
debt
,
being
a
loane
of
money
after
the
rate
of
Subsidyes
:
and
other
old
debts
.
2.
Whereas
200000.
l.
only
was
the
summe
to
be
borrowed
;
the
City
injoyned
them
to
take
up
230000.
l.
whereof
the
the
odde
30000.
l.
to
be
bestowed
for
reliefe
of
decayed
occupiers
of
the
City
:
So
,
that
(
upon
the
matter
)
the
Parliament
payes
30000.
l.
Broakage
.
3.
That
the
City
may
not
trust
the
greatest
unthrifts
of
Christendome
,
with
laying
out
their
owne
money
;
they
put
upon
them
two
Treasurers
of
the
City
to
retaine
and
disburse
it
for
the
service
for
which
it
was
borrowed
.
So
ye
see
they
have
now
neither
credit
,
money
,
nor
a
purse
to
put
it
in
.
So
that
the
modest
Members
who
have
beene
more
forward
to
helpe
their
Country
then
themselves
,
thriving
Members
hope
their
younger
brothers
will
continue
as
modest
,
as
they
have
beene
,
and
digest
all
with
patience
.
But
others
(
and
those
neither
fools
nor
knaves
)
hope
all
the
modest
and
middle
men
of
the
houses
(
such
as
are
ingaged
in
no
faction
)
will
be
provoked
hereby
to
draw
into
a
third
party
or
Junto
to
moderate
the
excesses
of
the
other
two
,
when
any
thing
prejudicial
to
the
Common-wealth
is
agitated
:
and
to
call
the
old
Junto
men
those
land
Pyrates
to
account
,
making
them
cast
up
what
they
have
swallowed
,
and
bring
it
to
a
common
dividend
.
Nor
let
them
be
discouraged
with
the
supposed
difficulty
hereof
,
since
20.
or
30.
men
holding
together
,
&
observing
the
crosse
debates
,
and
different
sway
of
each
party
,
may
easily
make
themselves
moderators
of
their
differences
,
&
turn
the
scales
for
the
best
advantage
of
the
common
,
which
way
they
please
to
cast
in
their
votes
,
since
it
is
very
rare
to
have
any
question
carried
by
more
then
eight
or
tenne
voyces
.
Most
of
these
Grandees
have
for
their
retreat
,
Hocas
Pocasses
have
brought
us
:
These
unskilfull
workmen
that
have
built
up
Babel
,
and
pulled
downe
Sion
.
Others
are
said
to
prepare
Forraigne
Plantations
for
Retreat
;
To
people
which
,
children
are
ravished
from
their
parents
armes
,
and
Shipped
away
;
an
abomination
not
knowne
in
England
before
,
and
therefore
no
competent
Law
made
against
it
;
no
more
then
in
ancient
Rome
against
Parricides
.
conjoyned
interests
of
these
two
Juntos
or
Factions
Presbyterian
and
Independent
are
.
Let
us
now
consider
where
their
severall
strength
lyes
.
The
Independent
groundeth
his
strength
upon
the
Army
,
which
if
he
can
keepe
up
,
he
hopes
to
give
the
Law
to
all
;
and
to
produce
that
great
Chymaera
,
Liberty
of
Conscience
:
not
considering
that
the
confusion
and
licentiousnesse
of
such
a
liberty
will
destroy
it selfe
,
Libertas
Libertate
perit
.
The
Presbyterians
have
three
pillars
to
support
them
.
1.
The
City
is
their
chiefe
foundation
,
with
which
they
keepe
a
strict
correspondencie
,
and
dayly
communication
of
Councells
.
Upon
this
consideration
they
have
lately
put
the
Parliament
Purse
into
the
Cities
Pocket
as
aforesaid
;
setled
and
inlarged
the
City
Militia
.
Whereas
all
the
Countrys
of
England
(
being
more
obnoxious
to
injuries
then
the
Citie
)
suffer
much
for
want
of
setling
their
Militia
;
the
Parliament
not
trusting
them
with
armes
,
so
much
as
for
their
owne
defence
:
An
evident
signe
,
there
is
a
farther
designe
then
disbanding
this
Army
.
And
because
the
City
Militia
,
can
only
keepe
in
awe
the
adjacent
South
and
East
Counties
of
the
Kingdome
;
therefore
to
suppresse
the
remoter
parts
,
and
inforce
them
to
obedience
,
they
keepe
up
some
in-land
Garrisons
,
and
have
Generall
Poyntz
supernumerarie
forces
for
the
North.
And
in
the
West
(
under
colour
of
sending
men
for
Ireland
)
they
keepe
upon
free
quarter
and
pay
of
the
country
many
supernumerarie
Regiments
and
Troops
most
Cavaliers
;
at
least
five
times
as
many
as
they
really
intend
to
transport
.
These
are
alwayes
going
,
but
never
gone
:
Like
Saint
George
,
alwayes
in
his
saddle
,
never
on
his
way
.
Something
ever
is
and
shall
be
wanting
untill
Sir
Thomas
Fayrfax's
Army
be
disbanded
;
and
then
(
it
is
thought
)
the
disguise
will
fall
off
;
and
these
supernumeraries
shall
appeare
a
new
modelled
Army
under
Presbyterian
Commanders
,
you
may
bee
sure
:
and
such
whose
consciences
shall
not
befoole
their
wits
where
any
matter
of
gaine
appeareth
.
If
this
be
not
their
ayme
,
Why
did
they
not
disband
these
lewd
Supernumeraries
before
last
winter
,
since
they
might
have
raised
as
many
men
the
spring
following
for
halfe
the
charge
their
very
free
quarters
cost
?
And
most
of
these
sweare
they
will
not
goe
for
Ireland
,
vowing
they
will
cut
the
throats
of
the
Round-heads
.
The
Countrey
is
amazed
,
fearing
these
Cavaliers
are
kept
on
free-quarter
by
a
Cavaleerish
party
for
some
Cavaleerish
Designe
.
Secondly
,
why
did
they
not
rather
divide
Sir
Thomas
Fayrfax
Army
into
two
parts
,
one
to
goe
for
Ireland
,
the
other
to
stay
in
England
;
being
already
modelled
,
excellently
disciplined
,
and
having
the
visible
marks
of
Gods
favour
upon
their
actions
?
But
to
take
a
few
for
Ireland
,
a
few
for
England
,
and
leave
a
Coare
in
the
middle
to
be
plucked
forth
and
disbanded
,
was
the
way
to
discontent
them
,
and
put
them
into
mutiny
:
and
thereby
necessitate
the
Parliament
to
disband
them
all
,
and
give
an
opportunitie
to
them
that
seek
it
,
to
new
modell
another
army
out
of
the
aforesaid
Supernumeraries
,
more
plyable
to
the
desires
of
the
Presbyterian
Iuncto
:
Adde
hereunto
the
causelesse
exasperating
Speeches
and
aspersions
cast
upon
most
of
the
army
purposely
,
as
moderate
men
think
,
to
discontent
them
.
Thirdly
,
If
they
have
no
intent
to
keep
up
an
Army
upon
the
people
,
why
have
they
continued
the
military
charge
for
another
yeare
;
and
inlarge
it
from
52000
l.
to
60000
l.
a
moneth
?
Thus
the
City
,
Inland
Garrisons
,
Supernumerarie
forces
new
modelled
are
like
to
prove
the
three
stringed
whips
wherewith
the
Presbyterian
Phaetons
will
drive
their
triumphant
Chariot
if
they
prevaile
;
To
which
may
be
added
the
Presbytors
themselves
,
who
by
over-awing
mens
Consciences
with
their
Doctrine
,
will
subdue
and
worke
mens
mindes
like
wax
to
receive
any
impression
of
bondage
that
tyranny
and
oppression
can
set
upon
them
,
as
they
do
in
Scotland
:
The
Clergy
in
all
times
and
places
have
ever
held
with
the
mightyt
as
the
Jacco
hunts
still
with
the
Lion
to
partake
of
his
prey
.
1
Quere
,
Why
the
Title
and
punishment
of
Malignants
is
translated
from
the
Cavaliers
,
who
fought
for
Regall
Tyranny
against
the
Parl.
and
laid
upon
those
that
fought
against
Regall
Tyranny
for
the
Parliament
?
Is
it
not
because
those
Cavaliers
that
have
fought
for
one
Tyrannie
,
will
not
be
scrupulous
to
fight
for
another
?
and
such
well
affected
as
have
opposed
Tyranny
in
one
kinde
,
will
not
admit
of
it
in
another
?
Why
is
it
now
accounted
a
note
of
malignity
and
disaffection
to
endeavour
the
putting
down
of
Arbitrary
Government
,
and
re-establishing
our
lawes
,
liberties
and
properties
;
whereto
the
Parliament
by
their
many
Declarations
and
their
Nationall
Covenant
are
bound
?
Lay
this
to
heart
and
consider
whether
they
have
not
changed
these
their
first
principles
,
and
consequently
whether
they
are
not
desirous
to
change
their
old
friends
who
resolutely
adhere
to
the
said
principles
.
2.
If
the
King
grant
the
Propositions
;
or
if
he
deny
them
,
and
the
predominant
Juncto
(
for
both
Juncto's
joyned
in
one
(
for
this
is
probable
)
to
drive
on
one
common
interest
)
establish
the
military
and
civill
power
without
him
,
according
to
their
desires
,
and
in
order
to
their
aymes
.
Quaere
whether
the
said
leading
men
setled
in
their
postures
with
their
confident
Guards
about
them
,
may
not
draw
after
them
so
many
of
their
party
,
as
upon
an
implicite
faith
will
follow
them
,
and
lick
up
the
crums
of
the
publicke
spoyles
under
their
Tables
:
expelling
or
disabling
(
as
aforesaid
)
the
dis-ingaged
members
,
and
by
this
policy
make
themselves
perpetuall
Dictators
,
incorporating
and
ingrossing
to
themselves
both
the
Consultive
,
Directive
and
Ministeriall
power
of
the
Kingdome
in
all
causes
Civil
and
Military
,
setting
up
an
Oligarchy
or
popular
Tyranny
in
stead
of
a
Regall
:
As
the
thirty
Tyrants
of
Athens
did
.
In
order
whereto
they
already
declare
,
1.
That
an
Ordinance
of
Parliament
without
the
Kings
Royall
assent
is
equall
to
an
Act
of
Parliament
.
2.
That
an
Ordinance
is
above
a
Law
by
vertue
of
their
Legislative
power
:
upon
which
presuming
in
their
Ordinance
of
Indempnity
they
have
granted
an
Appeale
from
the
Judges
of
the
Law
to
a
Committee
of
Parliament
.
See
the
Ordinance
May
21.
1647.
3.
That
they
are
the
Irrevocable
Trustees
of
the
peoples
lawes
,
liberties
and
properties
,
without
account
:
with
other
principles
preparative
to
Tyranny
.
3.
Quaere
,
Why
Arbitrary
and
Barbarous
Government
by
Cōmittees
and
other
Illegall
proceedings
(
which
in
time
of
war
were
used
upon
Reall
or
pretended
necessitie
,
&
were
then
only
excusable
,
because
necessitas
tollit
Legem
)
are
still
continued
upon
us
now
in
time
of
peace
,
no
enemies
troubling
our
quiet
,
and
without
any
further
pretence
of
necessitie
,
Contrary
to
their
Nationall
Covenant
,
and
all
their
Declarations
?
Is
it
not
,
to
inure
the
People
to
servitude
,
and
ever
use
their
patience
?
4.
Quaere
,
Whether
the
Prodigious
oppressions
of
Committees
,
Sequestrators
,
&c.
and
of
free
Quarter
be
not
purposely
countenanced
to
necessitate
the
people
to
rise
in
tumults
,
that
thence
occasion
may
be
taken
to
keepe
in-land
Garrisons
and
Armies
?
5.
Quaere
,
Whether
our
lawes
,
liberties
,
and
properties
are
not
now
as
lyable
to
an
Invasion
from
the
Legis-lative
power
,
as
formerly
,
from
the
Prerogative
?
Considering
that
those
who
like
ambitious
Absolom
courted
and
wooed
the
people
in
the
beginning
of
troubles
,
now
like
haughtie
Rehoboams
,
care
not
though
the
people
complaine
:
Their
little
finger
is
heavier
then
the
loynes
of
the
King
,
the
controversie
betweene
the
two
Juncto's
being
no
more
,
then
whose
slaves
wee
shall
be
.
If
the
middle
and
dis-ingaged
men
in
the
House
do
not
speedily
unite
themselves
into
a
party
or
Juncto
,
as
the
Factious
have
done
,
before
hand
contrived
,
debated
,
and
digested
in
one
or
both
of
the
two
Juncto's
at
their
private
meetings
:
and
put
into
so
resolved
and
prejudicate
a
way
and
method
of
dispatch
,
that
every
man
is
appointed
his
part
or
Cue
before-hand
:
One
man
to
move
it
,
and
set
it
on
foot
,
another
to
second
him
:
One
man
to
speake
to
one
part
of
the
argument
,
another
to
another
part
:
another
to
keepe
himselfe
to
the
last
for
a
reserve
,
and
speake
to
the
question
,
which
he
is
provided
to
qualifie
with
a
distinction
,
or
vary
it
,
if
he
find
it
difficult
to
passe
.
Thus
all
publique
businesses
are
measured
by
private
respects
;
wherby
it
appears
,
that
as
frequent
Parl.
are
good
physick
:
so
continuall
Parl.
are
bad
food
;
&
the
people
may
complain
,
that
,
qui
medice
vivit
,
misere
vivit
.
Parliaments
are
Bona
peritura
;
they
cannot
keepe
long
without
Corruption
.
Their
perpetuitie
emboldens
the
members
,
by
taking
from
them
all
feare
of
being
called
to
account
:
Especially
if
they
get
their
sonnes
into
the
House
as
well
as
themselves
(
as
many
have
done
this
Parliament
:
and
more
endeavour
to
do
)
whereby
they
have
an
estate
in
their
places
for
two
or
three
lives
:
Moreover
by
long
sitting
they
become
so
familiar
with
one
anothers
persons
and
designes
,
as
to
serve
one
anothers
turnes
,
to
joyn
interest
,
and
to
draw
into
Factions
,
Hodie
mihi
,
cras
tibi
.
If
you
and
your
partie
will
helpe
me
to
day
,
I
and
my
friend
will
helpe
you
to
morrow
.
En
quo
discordia
tetra
—
perduxit

?
Shall
we
complaine
to
God
?
God
hath
a
controversie
with
us
.
Of
whom
shall
we
complaine
?
of
our selves
?
we
must
first
reforme
our selves
:
we
that
take
upon
us
to
reforme
Church
and
Common-wealth
.
Shall
we
complaine
of
our
sinnes
?
aske
the
grace
of
repentance
first
;
and
so
aske
that
we
may
obtaine
.
Shall
we
complaine
of
our
punishments
?
let
us
first
repent
,
and
amend
our
sins
that
caused
them
.
Let
us
first
pluck
off
the
maske
of
hypocrisie
,
God
will
see
through
such
a
fantasticall
garment
of
Fig-leaves
.
Let
us
no
longer
make
Religion
a
stalking-horse
;
God
who
is
all
Wisedome
,
and
all
Truth
,
will
not
be
deceived
.
If
we
talke
like
Christians
,
and
live
like
Turks
,
Christ
will
not
owne
us
.
To
fast
for
a
day
,
and
hang
our
heads
like
bulrushes
,
will
not
reconcile
us
.
We
must
fast
from
publique
spoiles
,
rapines
and
oppression
,
and
not
drink
the
teares
of
the
poore
and
needy
.
Shall
we
complaine
with
the
Prophet
,
That
our
Princes
are
become
Theeves
?
that
was
heretofore
our
complaint
,
now
we
must
invert
it
,
and
cry
,
That
our
Theeves
(
meane
and
base
people
)
are
become
Princes
.
We
are
sick
,
very
sick
,
intemperately
sick
;
and
God
hath
given
us
a
Physitian
in
his
wrath
,
a
Leper
as
white
as
snow
,
fitter
to
infect
then
cure
us
.
What
Physick
doth
hee
prescribe
?
Poyson
.
What
dyet
?
Stones
instead
of
bread
,
Scorpions
instead
of
fishes
,
hard
fare
for
them
that
formerly
fed
so
daintily
.
Before
I
conclude
,
let
me
give
you
the
pedegree
of
our
Miseries
,
and
of
their
Remedies
.
A
long
peace
begat
Plenty
,
Plenty
begat
Pride
,
and
her
sister
Riot
;
Pride
begot
Ambition
,
Ambition
begot
Faction
,
Faction
begot
Civill
War
:
And
(
if
our
eviils
be
not
incurable
,
if
we
be
not
falne
in
id
temporis
quo
nec
vitia
nostra
,
nec
corum
remedia
ferre
possumus
)
our
War
will
beget
Poverty
,
Poverty
Humility
,
Humility
Peace
againe
,
Sic
rerum
revertentibus
vicibus
annulus
vertitur
Politicus
.
The
declining
spoake
of
the
Wheele
will
rise
againe
.
But
we
are
not
yet
sufficiently
Humbled
;
we
have
not
repented
with
Nineveh
.
We
weare
Silkes
and
Velvets
instead
of
sack-cloath
and
ashes
(
even
the
meanest
upstart
hath
his
thefts
writ
upon
his
back
by
his
Taylor
in
proud
Characters
of
Gold-lace
)
we
have
not
watered
our
Couch
with
our
Teares
,
but
with
adulterous
sweat
.
Look
to
it
therefore
ye
state
Incubi
,
that
by
an
incestuous
copulation
have
begot
plenty
upon
Warre
,
and
filled
your
houses
with
the
spoyle
and
plunder
of
your
deare
Countrey
;
an
inundation
of
bloud
,
and
of
the
tears
of
the
oppressed
will
wash
away
the
foundation
of
your
houses
:
And
peace
will
be
farre
from
you
in
this
world
,
but
especially
that
peace
which
the
world
cannot
give
:
And
because
Salamander-like
you
delight
in
the
fire
of
contention
;
an
unquenchable
fire
will
be
your
lot
hereafter
.
And
though
you
escape
all
accounts
here
,
yet
upon
the
great
day
of
account
when
you
shall
receive
your
sentence
of
condemnation
,
those
your
children
for
whose
preferment
you
fell
your
soules
,
your
God
for
gold
,
shall
not
shew
so
much
thankfulnesse
or
pitty
towards
you
,
as
to
say
,
alas
our
father
!
But
your
hearts
are
hardned
with
Pharaoh
,
I
leave
you
therefore
to
Pharaoh's
destiny
,
to
be
drowned
in
your
owne
Red
Sea
,
as
he
was
in
his
.
Thus
farre
I
adventured
to
vindicate
our
Religion
,
Lawes
,
THE
END
.
