FAIR WARNING, OR, THE Burnt Child Dreads the Fire.  
To the True Hearted Nobility, the Loyal Gentry, and Commonalty of this poor distracted and divided Kingdom of England, etc.  
Great Sirs,  
I Protest that I have no design or desire to revive you or your Predecessors Misfortunes, or to involve you in new ones, but only to caution y●u, That you split not on the same Rock again which our forefather's had the ill hap to do, for if we should, the whole World may laugh at us for our weakness. I confess it is a melancholy thing to reflect upon Crimes, but not always so upon Loss●s, since we may be necessitated to embrace the last, out of a Conscience to evade the first. It was a sad Omen to this Kingdom, to have the Sun Eclipsed that very hour the first Long Parliament began (Novemb. 3. 1640.) and though it was not visible here, yet the Effects were not clouded from our Eyes, for no Age was ever blest with a more Pious Prince, or any that ever brought forth more crooked Natures to perplex a Righteous Soul: it was his good Nature and easy Condescensions that gave their dark Practices confidence to appear in the light, whose yielding Clemency (thinking, like the Sun, by attracting Vapours, to disperse them) they with the help of a Northern Fog, condensed into a Cloud, that first darkened, then reigned Blood all over the Land; and what Number or Power was not able to overthrow, Treachery or Bribery did on a sudden ruin. Now in the close of Miseries, behold an Action detestable, beyond expression: a Misfortune which, heightened with accumalated Injuries, deserves to be looked on with a compassionate Eye, and a bleeding Heart; Is it not a most sorrowful Object, to see a King set forth to Sale, to behold Majesty become Merchandise, and Sovereignty sold for Silver; to see a Prince weighed in a Treacherous and Perfidious Balance, made to turn which way Coin should move the Beam; to deliver him up for the same cause Aristides was Banished (justus quia justus) and at length to Crucify him between two Thiefs? which two at this day do too much predominate in their Secret Cabals and open Attempts, witness the present most damnable Plot of the Papist at this time; which I pray God discover manifestly to their eternal shame▪ also the great hopes their Brethren, the Presbyterians, and other Sectaries have of carrying on their Designs the more secretly under the covert and colour of this Hellish Plot. That they have great hopes to overthrow the Government of Church and State once more, is legible by the bold Speeches and Threats every where; nay in the late Election in Essex, they took the Impudence to tell the Loyal Gentry there, they would Fight for it once more. For if any man do but speak a word in the Vindication of His Majesty or the Government, it is crime enough to blast him for a Papist, and then to the Press, and stigmatize him with some mark of Infamy. This was the Praeludium to the late Rebellion; loud Clamours against Popery and Arbitrary Government, Tyranny and Oppression; these were the Bugbears that they frighted the Common People with, and set them a work to cry out for a Reformation, and Liberty and Ease from Taxes, especially that Arbitrary Tax, called Ship-Money; and for the Ease of the People they brought in Excise, their Public Faith Money, Free Loans, their Fifty Subsidies and Eighteen several other Taxes: so that they drained out of the Kingdom above Forty Millions of Money, besides the Blood of above One Hundred Thousand Innocent Men shed, and their Plundering, Sequestrating, Imprisoning all that either truly Feared God and Honoured their King. Any Man that both saw and felt the Effects of the late Rebellion, cannot but do his Endeavour to prevent our relapsing into that Condition again. I beseech God to move the Hearts of all those Loyal Souls that have any thing of Conscience or Religion left, to unite and stand up as one Man for their King and Country, and maintenance of the true Protestant Religion, as it is now Established by Law: for all these new upstart Religions are but old Errors raked out of their Ashes. I pray read the following Catalogue, which is but a taste of the many Thousands that might be laid open to your view.
