THE
IMAGE
OF
THE
MALIGNANTS
PEACE
:
OR
A
representation
of
the
seditious
Carriages
of
the
London
Cavaliers
,
in
their
first
endeavours
for
the
Saccage
and
plunder
of
the
City
,
under
the
specious
Vizor
of
a
Petition
for
Peace
and
Accomodation
.
Published
to
undeceive
the
Multitude
,
who
under
that
most
desirable
name
PEACE
,
have
bin
wrought
to
give
their
hands
to
the
countenancing
of
their
Catilinarian
Conspiracy
.
THat
compendium
of
Happinesse
,
Peace
,
is
the
generall
wish
,
and
every
good
mans
prayer
,
and
he
cannot
pretend
to
that
name
that
promotes
it
not
,
in
the
enjoying
seldom
valued
,
when
lost
it
commands
the
endeavours
of
all
,
(
but
the
breakers
)
to
re-obtain
it
;
which
vehement
desire
(
as
also
in
other
cases
falls
out
)
very
often
imposeth
upon
a
weaker
judgement
to
receive
and
accept
for
such
that
which
cannot
justly
boast
it selfe
so
much
as
a
shadow
of
it
;
like
the
long
thirsty
Mariner
at
his
first
salutes
of
the
shore
,
drinking
putrid
water
with
an
undistinguishing
Pallat
till
he
hath
unknowingly
sucked
in
his
death
;
or
like
the
strength
of
Lust
not
discerning
the
paint
,
kisseth
the
pox
for
Beauty
.
This
knowne
disposition
in
the
most
of
men
renders
them
too
fit
a
subject
for
the
imposture
of
those
to
worke
upon
who
under
the
name
endeavour
the
ruine
of
the
thing
it selfe
,
many
in
the
simplicity
of
their
Spirits
seeking
that
which
if
they
should
obtaine
,
they
should
possesse
therein
only
the
Asphal●●●
apples
and
a
●uilded
chain
.
There
is
no
stranger
now
within
our
Seas
that
does
not
know
what
a
length
of
peace
we
have
injoyed
,
and
an
happinesse
thereby
to
envy
,
and
all
men
that
would
●tten●
did
also
know
how
for
many
yeares
past
,
it
hath
bin
undermined
by
dangerous
plots
(
of
an
elder
conception
then
yesterday
)
whereby
while
short
sighted
and
private
S●i●●●●●
men
,
pursued
their
designes
of
W●alth
and
pleasure
(
being
wholly
on
asc●late
with
the
Dreame
of
Peace
almost
lost
that
propriety
they
onely
followed
;
But
the
more
sagacious
and
discerning
at
last
awakened
the
multitude
to
vindication
of
all
that
was
periclitant
,
viz.
both
Religion
,
and
also
our
Liberties
,
in
whole
extent
of
them
both
.
Religion
was
practised
upon
by
Popery
,
in
a
farre
more
greedy
progresse
then
that
by
which
it
first
grew
upon
the
world
,
so
far
till
a
double
War
was
raised
for
it
,
first
against
Scotland
,
then
Here
,
visible
enough
to
every
weake
eye
,
all
Protestant
Professions
notwithstanding
,
so
often
even
to
nauscousnesse
obtruded
upon
the
poore
baffled
people
:
The
common
Liberty
invaded
by
Tyranny
,
and
the
Mode
Francoy's
made
the
English
Livery
.
All
men
know
this
that
can
but
remember
the
old
Buckinghamian
endeavours
for
strange
Horse
,
Illegall
Loanes
,
Ship-money
,
Coat
and
Conduct
money
,
(
when
we
had
no
enemy
)
Propriety
given
away
by
Monopolizing
and
Excising
Patents
for
Coales
,
Salt
,
Sope
,
Wine
Pins
and
almost
every
thing
,
and
this
by
Prerogative
(
though
against
a
known
Law
,
21

)
which
is
now
also
fought
for
.
All
those
mischiefes
and
enslaving
pressures
we
suffered
in
those
times
which
the
deceived
multitude
misaccount
in
the
number
of
their
daies
of
Peace
;
and
all
which
had
bin
for
ever
bound
upon
us
by
a
Law
,
had
not
the
Authors
of
them
missed
in
their
Calculation
,
hopeing
to
effect
that
by
a
Parliament
,
which
the
divine
goodnesse
and
providence
had
appointed
to
breake
them
by
,
and
over-ruled
the
Spirits
of
men
to
such
a
choyce
then
,
as
would
not
serve
turnes
which
was
soone
seene
,
and
therefore
soone
dissolved
:
and
when
an
i●
managed
,
worse
grounded
,
and
unblist
War
,
had
necessitated
the
convention
of
another
such
an
one
by
the
same
good
hand
was
brought
together
,
as
hath
bin
hitherto
,
and
we
believe
shall
continue
to
be
the
Great
Instrument
of
Gods
glory
and
our
happinesse
:
What
endeavours
there
hath
bin
to
take
away
this
great
Bulwarke
against
Popery
and
Tyrannie
needs
not
to
be
here
remembred
;
onely
the
fourth
of
Ianuary
must
never
be
forgotten
so
long
as
we
keepe
account
of
the
fift
of
Novemb
.
This
failing
the
second
War
is
raised
,
to
give
a
Caesarian
birth
to
that
Conception
to
which
the
Parliament
denied
its
hand
.
This
War
fomented
,
assisted
and
promoted
,
by
all
these
peccant
and
noxions
humors
which
had
so
neerely
endangered
the
ruine
of
our
Body
,
viz.
The
whole
Hierarchy
,
whether
they
be
Papists
,
Atheists
,
Arch-Bishops
,
Bishops
,
and
all
the
rest
of
that
unhallowed
crew
,
all
the
instruments
of
Tyranny
,
Dam mee's
,
Monopolizers
and
every
Delinquent
whose
demerits
denies
him
safety
in
the
common
safety
.
This
Army
for
the
better
maintenance
of
the
Protestant
Religion
and
propiety
doth
by
the
hands
of
Papists
and
Atheists
in
many
places
of
this
Kingdom
together
plunder
and
spoyle
,
of
all
their
Estates
,
and
many
of
their
lives
and
now
lately
at
Marleborough
after
the
long
teaching
of
their
Irish
where
s
of
whom
a
pretty
Kennell
hath
followed
the
Cause
for
their
necessary
use
)
they
have
learned
to
strip
naked
and
ravish
the
soberest
and
gravest
Matrons
,
that
by
practise
they
might
be
more
dextrous
at
their
coming
againe
to
London
,
And
all
this
more
especially
against
them
,
who
dare
but
professe
they
stand
for
the
King
and
Parliament
for
that
Highest
Court
which
is
our
Bulwarke
,
our
Tribunitian
power
against
Tyranny
,
our
highest
concernment
,
and
that
which
God
hath
made
the
cause
that
we
are
got
Freemen
,
when
other
neighbour
Nations
are
slaves
.
This
is
that
Army
that
lately
during
a
Treaty
of
Peace
marched
against
us
to
assault
us
having
in
their
hopes
prepossessed
the
plunder
of
this
City
,
which
they
believed
would
have
been
facilitated
by
their
fellowes
here
within
.
A
true
Viperine
Brood
,
that
would
make
way
to
their
own
ends
by
their
Mothers
,
their
their
rich
and
beautifull
Mothers
ruine
.
These
,
then
kept
under
by
the
over-awing
hand
(
ever
to
be
a
doore
for
that
mercy
)
have
since
endeavoured
to
take
a
muster
of
their
owne
strength
,
and
to
list
their
Names
in
shew
of
a
Petition
,
whereby
they
might
be
able
to
assist
their
fellowes
if
they
should
returne
(
ready
enough
to
returne
if
assured
of
their
strenuous
assistance
)
of
to
defend
themselves
from
such
Leavies
as
must
be
made
upon
them
for
the
defence
of
the
common
safety
,
to
which
they
have
either
not
contributed
at
all
,
or
very
lately
out
of
feare
,
or
however
not
considerably
,
which
Petulant
and
saucy
Petition
so
point-blancke
against
the
priviledges
which
some
of
them
(
it
s
like
)
have
protested
to
defend
,
breaths
the
pure
Idiome
of
a
Cavalier
,
and
must
needs
be
inspired
by
the
same
black
Spirit
which
acts
among
them
;
of
which
they
having
now
given
an
account
in
print
,
it
may
be
read
of
all
,
and
will
not
be
subscribed
of
any
but
such
as
are
of
the
right
breed
,
which
if
they
had
pleased
to
print
the
Names
subscribed
,
there
would
be
read
a
most
famous
Catalogue
of
Papists
,
Atheists
,
and
Proctors
,
the
Inhabitants
of
the
neglected
Dens
of
Doctors
Commons
,
also
Monopolizers
,
Publicanes
,
or
Custom-house-men
,
Drunkards
,
Players
,
debauched
villaines
,
the
whole
filth
,
trash
,
and
Colluvies
of
this
City
,
though
amongst
these
are
interspersed
many
honest
men
in
too
great
simplicitie
of
their
Spirits
wrought
upon
by
that
splendid
Name
,
and
following
of
them
as
once
the
people
Absalom
the
dethroning
of
David
,
whom
yet
they
loved
.
These
are
the
men
of
great
wisdomes
,
considerable
Estates
,
singular
Modesty
,
lovers
of
their
country
,
and
such
resolute
pursuers
of
peace
,
as
they
will
overtake
or
kill
it
.
Of
admirable
Elocution
,
have
the
right
accent
,
can
pronounce
Round
headed
Rogue
and
Parliament
Dog
with
as
good
a
grace
as
any
Cavalier
either
in
the
Army
,
or
in
Hell
.
The
manner
of
their
prosecution
of
their
Peace
,
and
the
Nature
of
their
Peace
it selfe
(
the
prosecution
whereof
they
meane
shall
Saint
them
)
Take
from
Articles
and
Depositions
as
they
were
presented
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
to
all
which
Articles
the
persons
guilty
of
them
,
witnesses
proving
them
;
and
are
ready
to
be
produced
,
which
we
thought
good
to
suppresse
in
Print
least
the
witnesses
might
suffer
in
security
,
till
the
persons
of
the
others
be
secured
.
By
the
very
reading
whereof
,
every
peaceable
minded
man
,
that
desires
peace
with
truth
in
Gods
way
,
and
such
an
one
as
may
be
radically
found
just
and
dureable
in
its
own
Nature
,
will
see
sufficient
cause
to
divide
himselfe
from
these
dangerous
men
,
and
rever
believe
more
,
that
That
can
be
a
good
Peace
,
that
is
sought
so
vehemently
the
breach
of
Peace
by
Papists
,
Atheists
,
Proctors
,
Publicans
,
players
.
Drunkards
,
Delinquents
,
and
all
that
rabble
of
the
enemies
of
peace
,
and
also
that
from
hence
the
whole
Kingdom
may
receive
satisfaction
of
the
true
disposition
of
those
blessed
peacemakers
,
who
would
make
them
believe
(
had
they
credit
enough
)
that
all
those
whom
they
please
to
stile
Round-heads
are
enemies
to
a
good
peace
,
while
they
resist
their
sedition
tending
to
ruine
.
Here
followes
first
their
Petition
.
Sheweth
,
THat
the
present
sense
of
our
Miscries
and
Apprehensions
of
inevitable
Ruine
both
of
Church
and
Common-wealth
maketh
us
to
become
humble
Suiters
to
this
Honourable
Assembly
(
the
likeliest
meanes
under
God
for
our
reliefe
)
to
consider
our
distressed
sta●e
and
to
provide
a
speedy
remedy
for
our
present
and
future
evils
.
Earnestly
desiring
you
to
weigh
the
Care
and
Judgement
of
our
Predecessors
,
who
by
a
known
Law
se●tled
and
preserved
our
Protestant
Religion
,
our
Liberties
and
Properties
with
the
right
vnderstanding
betweene
King
and
Subjects
,
which
produced
Plenty
and
Peace
in
our
Streets
.
And
to
reflect
with
serious
thoughts
upon
our
present
Distempers
,
violating
Religion
by
Papists
,
and
Sectaries
ingaging
our
Nation
in
a
Civill
,
bloudy
,
and
destructive
Warre
,
in
invading
our
Lawes
and
Liberties
,
indangering
all
our
Lives
,
and
utter
disabling
us
to
relieve
our
distressed
Bretheren
in
Ireland
.
Wee
beseech
you
likewise
to
consider
the
effect
of
a
continued
Warre
,
as
the
Destruction
of
Christians
,
the
unnaturall
effusion
of
blood
,
Father
against
Son
,
Brothers
by
Brothers
,
Friends
by
Friends
slaine
;
then
a
Famine
and
sicknesse
the
followers
of
a
Civill
Warre
making
way
for
a
generall
confusion
and
Invasion
by
a
forreigne
Nation
,
while
our
Treasure
is
exhausted
,
our
Trade
lost
,
and
the
Kingdome
dispeopled
.
These
things
weighed
and
inlarged
by
your
Wisedomes
,
we
doubt
not
will
be
as
strong
motives
in
you
to
labour
as
in
us
to
desire
a
speedy
Peace
and
happy
Accomodation
.
Wherefore
wee
humbly
crave
that
not
lending
an
eare
to
any
Fomenters
of
the
present
Warre
under
what
pretence
soever
;
nor
remembring
ought
that
may
increase
Jealousies
or
continuall
Divisions
,
betweene
his
Majesty
and
his
Houses
of
Parliament
;
you
will
speedily
tender
his
Majesty
(
according
to
his
Royall
Intimations
)
such
Propositions
for
Accomodation
as
hee
may
with
Honour
and
safety
to
the
whole
Kingdome
accept
.
For
effecting
whereof
wee
shall
be
ready
to
assist
you
with
the
best
and
utmost
of
our
abilities
;
and
whilst
you
endeavour
Peace
,
wee
shall
send
up
our
Prayers
to
Heaven
for
the
blessing
of
Peace
upon
you
,
and
all
that
desire
it
.
The
8.
of
Decemb
.
1642.
Amongst
the
mul●itude
gathered
together
at
Hherdashers
Hall
where
the
Committe
of
Lords
and
Commons
sate
for
advance
of
moneyes
;
these
words
were
uttered
,
viz.
1.
IF
this
Petition
die
,
wee
die
.
2.
If
it
be
stop●
in
one
place
,
we
will
have
it
in
another
.
3.
Why
should
we
be
affraid
,
we
shall
be
sufficiently
backt
.
4.
They
have
borne
it
with
a
high
hand
all
this
while
,
and
now
they
seeke
to
us
,
and
to
take
away
our
goods
by
force
.
5.
An
unjust
peace
is
better
then
a
just
Warre
.
6.
If
my
Lord
Major
commit
one
,
he
shall
commit
all
.

One
in
the
Exchange
(
seeing
one
Mr.
Story
an
ancient
and
well
affected
Citizen
)
said
There
's
a
base
fellow
would
be
kickt
out
of
the
Hall
.
8.
At
the
conclusion
of
a
Speech
uttered
by
one
of
this
multitude
,
there
was
one
with
a
loud
voice
uttered
this
execration
:
And
a
pox
of
all
Round-heads
.
9.
That
the
Common
Councell
of
London
were
the
undoers
of
the
City
,
And
that
they
should
present
this
Petition
to
the
Common
Councell
,
and
those
of
them
that
would
not
agree
to
it
,
(
the
time
of
Election
being
neere
)
they
would
take
notice
of
them
and
turne
them
out
.
10.
Threatning
words
were
given
to
Mr.
William
LLuellin
,
the
multitude
crying
out
,
Hang
him
hang
him
,
pull
him
in
pieces
;
struck
him
,
and
puld
him
downe
.

Another

the
aforesaid
Mr.
LLuellin
by
the
hand
in
Haberdashers

,
●ying
▪
You
jeered
us
for
our
former
Petition
,
calling
us
the
Satten
Petitioners

but
all
that
hands
in
that
Petition
were
as
honest
men
as
of
the
other
party
,
and
that
Petition
shall
be
made
good
.
12.
Certaine
of
them
laying
hands
in
a
violent
manner
on
the
aforesaid
Mr.
LLuellin
said
〈…〉
shal
be
made
good
with
our
bloods
and
the
rest
assented
saying
,
yea
,
that
it
shall
.
13.
One
speaking
to
Mr.
George
Pryor
,
said
,
Add
truth
to
your
Petition
of
Peace
;
he
answered
,
A
pox
of
truth
,
what
have
we
to
do
with
truth
;
let
s
have
peace
,
and
truth
will
follow
.

Mr.

comming
out
from
the
Committee
of
Lords
and
Commons
in
Haberdashers
Hall
,
came
into
the
Hall
where
the
multitude
was

stood
up
and
told
them
what
the
