England's Warning-Piece.  
AWake, awake O England, and if thou art of the horns that must hate the whore, and make her desolate! do it now or never: or else she will do it to thee, and make thee desolate! Oh what a lethargy hath seized upon thee▪ sure thou hast forgotten thy name, and art become a stranger to thyself! thy dangers, thy deliverances, thy vows, victories are buried in oblivion! the counsels of Rome was at first thine Enemies, but now thy chiefest friends in council; the plots of Jesuits were then thy fears, but now thy favours and delights. As soon as the Lord had plucked out the sword out of thine own bowels, thou didst sheathe it in the heart of thine ancient friends of Holland: and no sooner is that over, but thou ragest against thy friends at home. Awake and stand upon thy guard, for thou art almost dru●k with the abominations of the whore; How is the air infected with Oaths, and cursings, and perjuries? How are the streets thronged with pride and drunkenness? How are thy Chambers infected with rioting, wantenness and gluttony? thou hast not heard the voice that bade thee vex the Midianites which vex the with their wiles? Thou hast not heard the voice that bade thee render unto them double? Yet the Lord hath compassion on thee, and ceaseth not to give thee warning upon warnings. Surely Rome is the Mother of harlots, and is drunk with the blood of the Saints, and the souls under the altar c●y aloud; A Religion delighting in, and laden with blood: a Religion unsari●ble and unparalleled, not end 〈…〉 ring any but itself; yet agreeing with hell itself, so the Pope be the head, making the word itself to come, and lay down at his feet the Sword, an● the Keys, and then he opens, and cuts off what Scriptures he pleases, he arogating to himself more power than the Devil, who promised but the Kingdoms of the world, and the glory thereof; but he will promise. Heaven also with Hell, and a new created place, which was never mentioned by God, men or devil's, even his own vast Territories of Purgatory; therefore it is a small thing for him to dispose of Kingdoms and Empires of the Earth. Are not there great animos●●ies against England till it return to be disposed of by him? Look ab●ut and ●ee the slaughters he hath made in our neighbour Countries about us, wi●●●ss the M 〈…〉 icre of above 100000 Protestants a●Paris, and the bloody Spanish Inquisi●ion, and the like; but to come nearer home, let us remember the Spanish Armado in 88 which came with I str●men● of cruelty to M●ssacre all the Protest●n●s of England: and let us no● forget the helli●●Powaer plot, & the Spanish Fle●● about 1639 laden also with Instruments of cruelty 〈◊〉 Mass-c 〈…〉, w●●ch were va●quished by the Holland Fleet in the Down●; and after tha●●n the year 1640. when the Pope's firebrand the Queen's Mother was in England, she brought over an Irish P●●est who b●a●●ed that he was the chief contriver of the Massac●●, in ended to cut off 〈◊〉 the Protestants in England! & Ireland, and that he was by the P●pe employed to all Catholic Princes, for their contribution towards that bloody Massacre, and he gave it under his hand about August 1640▪ that their were 7000. men 
And when the Massac●● was discovered they put another face upon it by making a breacls between the King & Parliament thereby to decide the P●o●●est●nts.  in private pay for the Massacre here: and that there were 500 Irish soldiers sent out of Flanders to guard the tower under the Popish Lord Cottington, and that the Queen would pawn the Jewels of the Crown, to supply them with ●●ny for that bloody work, whereupon William O Conner was apprehended, and committed to the gatehouse, 3. of September. 1640. which was many Months before the Irish Rebellion broke forth, and was kept prisoner above 5 years without any prosecution, and then released by the old Parliaments connivance, & so the blood of above 100000 Protestants that were murhered in Ireland in cold blood, is brought upon your Highness and this commonwealth, for justice nor being speedily executed upon William O Conner, that others might hear, and fear, and do no more so wickedly; therefore the hearts of his confederates were fully set in them to do evil, so as they went on with that bloody design, and carried it on with an unnatural war. And when they saw the hand of God against them in the war, they have ever since endeavoured to carry on their long intended Massacre, still deluding the Protestant Cavalier to strength▪ en their hands, in carrying on the Pope's design under colour of the King's Interest, when as the Pope's design is to destroy all Protestants whatsoever: and all the benefit which they could possible gain by it, was to be last destroyed; and that will more clearly appear in their intended Muss●cre in London, where all sorts of Protestants do live, and for the greater number of them were their own friends. For first they contrived some years since to Land foreign Forces at a distance from London, to draw ou● Army towards them; and then they were to cut off such of the State as stood most in their way, and to surprise our Guards, and then to fire the City in many places at once, and whilst the people were a quenching the fire, than they would fall upon the cutting of 
all which will be proved by sufficient testimony.  their throats. And for the more easy effecting thereof, the Spa Embass●dor is, and hath been for many years their ende●red friend, and hath entertained William O Conner, and Patrick Car an Irish Priest who was taken in Arms against this Common wealth, and was app●i●ted their Captain General: and also many other Priests and J● suits, who do continually plot the carrying on the intended Massacre, and do contrive from time to time the carrying on of whatsoever may tend thereunto: as when the two Irish traitors were in the To●er, the Engines that were made for their escape, was contrived at the Spanish ambassadors house; and there they were sometime secured till the search was over.  
And when the Apprentices did make a ●umult in the City upon the Sabbath day at night, then was his Gate open all night, and men in Arms passed in and out; and divers in Scarlet cloaks c●me 
〈◊〉 guire & Mac Mahone.  to those of them that were put into Newgate, and afterwards boasted that the Spanish ambassador got them released: which showeth what treacherous men were in the old Parliament, that would thus gratify the people's sworn enemies, & hold continual familiarity with th' 〈…〉; for Car hath boasted, that he could daily speak with them at the Parliamen● door. And when Garret Dillon another Irish Priest was appoin●ed to dispose of the Arms, & Ammunition which the King of Sp●i● had sent ov●r to the Catholics in England & Ireland, in the year 1640 he was secured at the Spanish ambassadors house, and from thence sent out to the King's Army, where he was s●ain. Therefore let all un●erstanding Protestanis judge, whether he be fit to have liberty of residence within the City of London or no? And for many in the old Parliament▪ who carried on the same design, as may appear by their familiarity with the sworn enemies of the commonwealth; 
Which will be apparently proved.  and by their releasing of them frequently, and protecting of them to go between the King and his Queen all the time of the Wars; and when they were app●ehended at any time, did suffer them to escape, and punished the discoveres; and from time to time have used all their art and power to stifle all intelligence, and destroy all faithful intelligencers, and protecte● S●ies and Agents for the King, to fire the City of London: and suffered above six score thousand pounds worth of malignant's goods to be conveyed away, to preserve it from the fire when the City was to be burned: and likewise suffered threescore thousand pounds to be conveyed to the King, which was in the hands of a Popish Treasurer: and also concealed a List of about 60 considerable persons in the City, who with their confederates, did constantly contribute to the King's Army considerable sums of money; All which with many other things, doth make it clearly appear, that they were resolved to uphold the wars between the King and Parliament, until the Protestants were so destroyed that the Papists might have their wills of both; And I hope by this time all the rational part of our bret●ren the Cavaliers, and also all under all diff●rent forms whatsoever, are clearly convinced of their error, in taking up Arms for the Pope instead of a King; And therefore I do humbly entreat them, as they do tender their own lives, liberties, estates, posterities, the good of their Native country and the Protestant Religion that they do never offer to stir upon any pretence whatsoever, to t●k● up Arms against the higher powers; for if they do, they will but destroy themselves, and make the wound of the Nation the deeper. And I am confident, that there were thousands of them if they had known of the Papists●esign, they would as soon have torn their own flesh off their bones, as ever have taken up Arms against their country; And truly I am sorry for those that have a hand in this cursed design, which is in part discovered, and for those of them that are undiscovered, if they shall out of conscience come in and submit, and make discovery of what they do know. I dare engage my life that a hair of their head● shall not perish.  
But some may Query why I do write in this manner? My answer is:  
That for almost 10. years after my return from Ireland, my employment was as little, as my Estate: so that I had nothing to hinder me from observing the current of the times; amongst which I could not but take notice of the policy of the Priests, Jesuits, and all the popish faction, and there accomplices in playing their game on this manner. So long as the people are oppressed, they will be discontented: and so long as they are disconteuted, they will fall into Divisions, and so long as they are divided, the easier destroyed. And to this end was the reins cast upon the neck of all corrupt Committee men to cheat by thousands, and hundreds of thousands, and then hire Clarks to copy out their Books, to cover over their cheating, but these were of the better sort of them; for they had some fear in them: but the rest of them hath gone on with as little fear as they had honesty. And so for ●ur corrupt 
Though many of them will be proved faulty.  Treasurers, which of them hath ever been called to account? And so for our unjust Judges who have judged for a Reward, are they not yet unquestioned? And for our Long-winded Lawyers, who can run races of 7. 10. 20. nay 40. or 50. years long; and make the people dance after their long tails, until they were run so quite out of breath, that they had not a groat left in their purse●, ●●d many of them gone with sorrow to their graves; but I hope to see God making inqu●sition after the blood of these poor souls, which were so mercilessly murdered. And for the corrupt Members of the first House, how did they sit hacking and hewing at the two legs upon which this Common wealth did stand? I do mean Men and Money; For Men, how have they been betrayed both by Sea and Land? And how have they been discouraged some of them, by keeping back their just and dearly earned wages? and others by long attendance, to receive considerable sums which were 
And yet hath obtained nothing.  by them disb●rsed, until some had well high perished, if not altogether, and many of them languish in prison, while unworthy 〈…〉 let's can have good rewards for there pretended good services: though indeed, they deserved to have their heads taken ●ff for their unfaithfulness. And for Money, how hath it been consumed not only by the Monsters formerly mentioned, and many more of the like nature; but I do believe it will be proved, that some of the Members hath sent out of the Land divers millions at several times, b●sides the vast Estates that some of them hath screwed into their own hands by unjust practices; but to add t 〈…〉 this, when I do consider the frequent recourse that the Irish Priests and Jesuits had to some of them; and how frequently the Priests, Jesuits & Irish bloody rebels were released from time to time, though their crimes were never so heinous; and knowing how they boasted of their great friends that they had in the House and council, by which they were extremely encouraged; and upon which their confidence was builded of carrying on of their cursed design of the bloody Massacre, and clearly ●escerning that they had more friends there than the commonwealth had; for when they attempted to make a discovery of it, they were betrayed into their hands; I could not but conclude, that the desolation of the everlasting Parliament, was one of the greatest mercies that ever this Nation received from God this many years; for if they had sitten a little longer in all probability, they had accomplished their desires: which if they had accomplished, than all mercies which God had ●ouchsafed us since these troubles, had been drowned in a Sea of b 〈…〉  
And now my Lord, I beseech you consider how many parties hath God overthrown since these troubles fell upon us, as the Bishops, the corrupt House of Lords, the late oppressing King and his potent party; yet notwithstanding all this mighty work of God, our everlasting Parliament would not learn righteousness, but went on in the same oppressing courses, if not greater, until they by walking in the same paths with their predecessors, come to the same shameful downfall which befell them; for did not God cause their Sun to set at noon day: and did not they go out like the snuff of a candle, and have left a foul stink behind them? And how contemptible hath God made them in the eyes of the people? and although the action was so unheard of, and so contrary to the letter of the Law; yet I did never hear one so much as mutter against it; for the people were sensible of their pe●●idiousness in breaking of their trust, by neglecting to seek the public good of the Nation, and seeking of their own particular advancement, by unjust practices and bribery, and acting of several Treasons against the Nation: as endeavouring to cut your highness, and our Army, by assisting of the late King, and endeavouring the destruction of this City, with many other horrid villainies, 〈…〉 e releasing of the Priests and Jesuits, and many bloody Irish Rebels: the countenancing of the sworn enemies of the Nation, and discountenancing of the most cordial friends thereof, even to the destruction of some of them; their ●●ocking to goldsmith's Hall by 5, 8. or 10 at a time, to help delinquents to come of 〈◊〉 an easy rate, which to me, did then speak thus much, that they would have their Estates preserved, that so they might be still able to carry on their wicked and hellish design against this Nation.  
But my Lord, this is that which doth stick upon the spirits of the people, that these men were never questioned for all their villainies committed by them, that so there might have been a difference between the precious and the vild: that those few that were found faithful amongst them might have been had in singular honour; for God had a small handful amongst them of faithful ones, who did spend their spirits to keep the Common w●al●h from u●ter desolation, and did precu●e some good things for their Country: which I think did exceed all that went before them.  
But my Lord, I know not what to say to these things more than this, that God doth suffer it to be so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled, in saying, Let God be tr●e and all men liars; and hath not the Spirit told us, That because Justice is not speedily executed 〈◊〉 an evil work, the hearts of the s●us of men are set in them to do evil, and that continually; for if Justice had been executed upon Widow O Couner and his accomplices, all the villainies that were committed by our perfidions Parliament, commits and others, ha' been preve 〈…〉 ed: and if Justice 〈◊〉 been done upon them, than the enemies du●st not have contiived this distinction against you, and this Nation.  
And I beseech you, give me leave by the way, to tell you, that it is impossible to reconcile Christ and Antichrist together, and that you cannot with safety put S●●pents in your b●som, and not be destroyed by them, until their stings be pluck● out; For can you remove that enmity which God hath put between the seed of the woman, and the seed of the Serpent: then you may with safety close with them; but if you cannot, as I am sure you cannot, for it is not in the power of men and Angels to do it: then take heed what you do; for if you have any further to do with them it will be your destruction. Oh I beseech you, call to mind the great and unparalleled mercies which God hath vouchiased to you in England, Ireland and Scotland! for I dare say, you dare not think, that you did achieve them by your own strength or policy, or by the power of your own arm; and if not, than it must need be by the power of the Lamb: and if so, than certainly he hath merited something at your hands by it; Therefore, why do you so evi●ly requite him, and suffer all those mercies to be burie● in oblivion? Do you think that he did exalt you to the throne, for you to leave him still sitting upon the Dunghi●? and sh〈…〉 h●● Members, and the friends of the commonwealth, to be still ●rampled upon, and destroyed by unjust Judges, and Antichristion Lawyers, and such base varlets as dare without ground imprison ●en at their pleasure, and constrain others to confine themselves to their own houses, to the utter undoing of them, and their families, choosing that rather than to be destroyed by mercyless bloodsucking jailors in stinking prisons.  
My Lord, I beseech you remember that you are sworn to maintain the Law; and I am sure that all the juggling Antichristan Lawyers in England, are not able to produce any Law for these things: neither can there be any Law made to destroy the people, seeing that the safety of the people is above all Law: And now I beseech you in the Bowels of Jesus Christ, not to suffer this unspeakable deliverance, which doth bring in the bowels of it all our former mercies; for if the enemy had now prevailed, all the former mercies had been destroyed as if they had never been● Oh let it not be passed over as all the former hath been! but let it awaken you to works of justice and mercy, and to break off your sins by repentance, and your iniquities by showing merey to the p●or, for God hath showed thee what is good; na●ely, to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humble with thy G●d. And my Lord, you have born the name of a religious man for many years; and the Apostle James doth tell us, that pure Religion, and 〈◊〉 filled before God and the Father, is to visit the fatherless and the window in their adversity, and to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. Now if God be pleased to give this mercy such a setting on upon your heart, by the power of his eternal Spirit, that it doth awaken thee to harken to the voice of the Lord, than thou shalt stand in despite of men and devils; but if thou dost refuse to harken unto the word of the Lord, and walk perversely towards thy God: I do then tell thee from the mind of God in Scriptures, that thou shalt fall and not stand, though all the Nations of the Earth should combine together to prevent it; For I am sure that all the N●●ions of the earth are not able to rescue one man out of the ●ands of Jesus Christ, when he shall seize upon him to call him to an account for his perfidious dealing with him; Therefore be wise O Princes and l●arned, O Rulers of the earth: Kiss the Son lest he be angry with you, and you perish in the mid way; For the Stone which is cut out of the Mountain without hands shall break down all Powers, and shall be exalted above the top of all Mountains. And I beseech you all consider, that God is about his overturning work, and he will overturn, and overturn until the Government be put into Christ's hands, and then we shall have justice; for the Prophet saith that he is just: We have had many overturns, but there is a greater behind then any of the former; and I hope it will be but the overthrow of all the corrupt powers of the Nation, with the overthrow of the corrupt practice of the Law also. Man was happy so long as he acted the will of God; but when he sell to acting of his own will, he made himself and ●ost●●●●ity miserable. And I cannot but admire at men, that think to make themselves happy by seeking of their own wills: Oh! when I do consider the actings of many of the Magistrates of this Nation, who are men of great Estates, and yet do daily break down the hedge of the Law, which God hath set about them to preserve them, and their Estates from the Sons of violence. I say, when I do consider their frequent practice therein, it doth make me tr●mble to think of the fearful event which might ensue, if others should take example by them; therefore I do earnestly beseech them all both for their own good, and the good of the whole Nation, that they do now begin to act in the will of God; for in so doing, they shall be blameless both in the eyes of God and man; for I am sure that man can never be happy, until he doth return into that co●●ition wherein be was first happy; and when our wills are bou●d up wholly in the will of our God, than all contro●●●sie ceaseth, between the Creator and his creatures, without which we cannot be happy. And truly, when the new overturn shall come, I think the wisest man alive cannot say what party shall be undermost. but this I am confident of, that Christ will be uppermost; for Antichrist hath had his day, and the Sun thereof is a setting, and the day of Christ is a dawning; therefore let all the Agents of Antichrist know, that they will suddenly know that all their labour is in vain, although they have digged deep to hide their council, from the Lord, yea even to the bottom of Hell itself; yet let them know that God is there, and that nothing can he hid from his All-seeing eye: and the woe that God hath denounced against them, shall assuredly overtake them speedily: and I cannot but wonder at their blindness that they do not see the hand of the Lord stretched forth against them, and how he hath made good his promise, that no weapon formed against him shall prosper; for if it could, certainly we had been swallowed up long since. Oh that this Nation from the highest to the lowest would harken what this speaking providence of late years doth say! and that they would have their ey● in their heads, to see how by a mighty and an out stretched arm he hath wrought salvation to his people, both in England, Ireland and Scotland! Could any hand but the hand of Jehovah have done it? When they had 20. nay, I am confident they had 40. for one; and yet God hath carried it against them, notwithstanding all the falseness of those ●at seemed to stand for us. What treachery and perfideousness hath, and may be discovered in some that sat at the Helm?  
Is the Pope's Emissaries, would seriously consider the mighty wonders that God hath wrought since these troubles began, it would make them cease to endanger themselves, and to perplex us; for though they have an excellent faculty in fomenting, and continuing divisions amongst us: yet I must tell them, that they do begin their work at the wrong end, for their divisions reacheth but to the creature: and so long as the Creator is not divided, the Trinity is still in unity; for the Father is not against the Son, nor the Son against the Spirit, nor the Spirit against the Father: but they are all one, and do set themselves to carry on one design, which is to advance the Son; therefore until they can work a division in the deity, it is impossible that they should ever accomplish their design, and Iam sure God can never be divided in himself and I do believe that a great part of them are convinced of it, and consequently of the impossibility of their prevailing against the Members of Christ, but they must show of what house they do come of, for they are like to their Father the devil, who knoweth he cannot prevail, yet he will do as much mischief as he can, for he knoweth his time is short, and therefore he rageth, and would not have this Nation have a being, neither in England nor Ireland, and therefore hath he stirred up nustruments of cruel●y to raise such merciless taxes in Ireland, as I think the like was never known in the world, but they that have eyes to ●ee may see, that God is a consuming of Antichrist with the spirit of his outh, and will shortly abolish him utterly with the brightness of his coming. Therefore my c●unsell to all the Governors and Magistrates of this Nation, is to close hands with Christ, in doing the will of the Father, for he saith, If he seeketh his own will, his judgement is not just, how then can they think that they do justice whilst they do seek their own wills, but let them take heed for Christ will prevail, and he will have the will and the Law of his Father established; therefore I beseech you close with him in it, fo● all power in Heaven and Earth is committed into his hands, and he will prove a burdensome stone to crush in pieces all those that shall be found to oppose him, for he will make all his enemies his footstool.  
I could wish that the Governors of the City of London had in time thought of these things, and then some of them would not have acted as they have done, in binding over to the Sessions and good behaviours, and afterwards commit him to prison, that did discover to him the design of the Irish Priests and Jesuits, to burn the city, and to massacre the people thereof; I think that God hath bereaved them the use of common reason, for could they think to escape any better than other men, but there was more in it than I will commit to public view at this time, yet I hope God will stir up the Inhabitants of this City to importune our Grandees not to suffer those to have Government in this City, who have brought off and acquitted the Plotter of the most dedesperate bloody design that ever was set on foot in the world, and stifled the treachery of a dangerous Enemy of this commonwealth, and have punished those that did discover them: My Lord, I do once again entreat you, as you tender your own safety to take heed of ●●attere●s, who cry peace and safety, even when that destruction which they have plotted is ready to seize upon you, to the destruction both of your person, this City and the whole commonwealth; but blessed be the God of m●rcies, that hath carried you on to so deep a discovery of their damnable design (and blessed be his name for ever) for regiving us all his former mercies an● deliveranci●s, for 〈…〉 the womb of this mercy were all his fo 〈…〉 merc●es 〈…〉 pped up: But my Lord you are not yet come to the bottom● of it; therefore I bese●ch you do not think that the danger is p●st, and the●●upon grow secure, but rather streng●hen your Guards, and your Army also for I am confident that their des 〈…〉 doth still go on, and I 〈◊〉 I am able to show unde●iable reasons for it; but I will ●●●bea●e to do it publicly, the great God of Heaven and Earth 〈◊〉 his mercy such a seving on upon your spirit, that it may awaken you, and make you to see wherein you have de●t unfaithfully with your God, in not performing those engagements and ovenants which you have made unto him in the time of your distress, can you think that he hath given you so many victor 〈…〉 and deliverances both in the field, and upon your sick bed, and that he doth expect no returns from you again: And truly my Lord until you do establish justice and mercy in this Not on, I date say that you have done nothing for Go 〈…〉, no nor for your Country, For God hath showed thee Oh max what is good, and what he req 〈…〉 h of thee, and if we will believe either the New or the 〈◊〉. Testament. Religion doth consist in actions of this nature, and 〈◊〉 in preaching, Heating, Reading, and Praying, though these are not to be neglected; nay I could wish that they were ●uch mor● used, notwithstanding our Saviour calleth verbal pra 〈…〉 bu● ba●ling; and for this commonwealth. I beseech you consider what benefit we are like to receive by all that which is done. whilst you receive into your bosom those that have all along endeavoured to dest●oy both you and this commonwealth to the desperate hazarding of both, and so long as you do suffer our estates and liv●es als' 〈…〉 o lie at the mercy of merciless Lawyers and Judges, who 〈◊〉 Knights of the Post ●o ●requently in the Courts, and that bon●s of considerable sums may be forged, and then proved by false ●aths. Oh my Lord it would make you tr●mble, if you did know but the o●● half of the villa 〈…〉 es of this kind, how can any man's life or estate be in safety, so long as these are suffered, I am sure that our counsellor of the Law can show no Law for these things, neither can they show any Law for keeping a widow in their Courts, which fued for 80. l. until they have gotten above 200, l. in Fees, and yet the money unrecovered, truly my soul can not but mourn for these things, and also to think of the woeful misery which will assuredly fall upon that Generation of men, for the woe was denounced by God himself, for binding heavy burdens, and laying them upon other men's shoulders, and that struck that hath been so many hundreth years in coming, must needs be dreadful when it cometh. My Lord, Solomon was a wise man, and he could see nothing in any thing under the Sun but va●ity and vexation, and he saith, that he that cometh after him shall do nothing but what he hath done before him, & certainly the more our hearts are let forth after any thing under the Sun, the further we shall be from being satisfied therewith, but experience telleth me, that God can satisfy the soul to the full without any abundance of outward things, and that it is greater riches to enjoy him without carnal greatness or honour in the world, than it can be to enjoy more of them than our hearts can desire without him, For what doth it advantage a man to win the whole world, and lose his own soul Every building that is not founded upon a rock shall fall, and I know no Rock of stability, but the Rock of ages, therefore if you mean to stand make God your stability by establishing Justice and righteousness, and M 〈…〉 y in this Nation, make Justice the Foundation, and Mercy the corner stone, and then your building shall stand, and you shall have the praise and h●nour of a wise Builder, and give me leave with Jethro, to say that the thing which thou dost is not good, the work is too great for you, and your Cou●●ell, It will weary out both you and the people therefore I beseech you let us have a Committee to examine, and, redress the grievances of the Nation, and leave the weighty matters to you, and your counsel, of such men as we shall 〈◊〉, and such as there can be no exception against, and then you shall see all the secret enemies of your person and this Nation, discover the debts of the Nation p 〈…〉, the minds of the people qu●eted and their hearts united together to the great astonis●ment of all Christendom, and you shall have such a bank of treasure, and public revenue, as shall make all the enemies of this Nation afraid ever to attempt any thing against it, for what doth or hath in former ages encouraged the Enemy, but our divisions, and the treacherous plo●s of the popish emissaries: therefore I think it unpossible for England to be in ●afety, until they be transplanted, for are they not sworn to hazard lives, and all that is dear to them to destroy those which they call heretics; and hath not this Nation in past ages sound it to be their constant endeavour, and France can likewise manifest their unsatiable thirst which they have after Protestant blood, it is time for thee O Lord to work, for men have destroyed thy Law, and unstead thereof hath brought in a 〈◊〉 Antichristiall Jugell which destroyeth the people, only to enrich themselves. My Lord, what would you have of this Nation? if Honour, than you shall have as much as you can stand under, it Wealth, than you shall have more than you can tell what to do withal. only gratify this Nation in this one thing of justice, and they will serve you for ever, and that with freedom and checifulresse, you will not need to con●●raine them, for they will be more careful of you then of their own lives, than will the prayers of the poor continually ascend unto the Thion● of 〈◊〉, until as I may speak with holy R●●●r●rce that they have surp●●ed the Almighty ●n your behalf. And my Lord if you w 〈…〉 grant us this Committee, and give them full power to p●oc●ed according to the righteous Law of God, an 〈…〉 of th' 〈…〉 Nation, than I will engage my life to pay all the public Faith B 〈…〉 of the Nation, with one moiety of what w●ll be brought in by them, a 〈…〉 r the discoverer hath had his fifth part, and the other ●●oyiety shall go in to the public Treasury to pay the Army, and to prevent the selling of the prize of the poor S●●ld ers blood for nought, that so in time the taxes may be taken off, only we shall desire liberty to attend the committees, with liberty to speak on behalf of the commonwealth, and that you do afford us a speedy and an effectual assistance, to remove any upon Just Cause, and to put in others that shall be Judged faithful in their rooms, and that any three or more of them to take any examination, and five or more of them to Judge any matter, only leaving the weighty matters to be judged by you and your council; this you will quickly find will give such content to all sorts of people, that there will not long be need of an Army in England, and after that, send an Army where you please, only take the Word for your rule, and you shall see such a presence of the Almighty going along with them, that they shall not meet with any great opposition; but my Lord, if you shall refuse to harken to the counsel of thy God, than I could wish that God would provide me a place in the wilderness, and feed me by a Raven as he did the Prophet, that so I might not see the wof●l desol●tion that God will bring upon you, and your family, and the misery which is likely will come upon this Nation; yet I am confident that God will find out a way to lay you aside, and yet preserve his people, for he hath a people in this nation which he will not sell for nought: I beseech you consider, what is it that maketh any Action lawful or unlawful? is it not God's willing, or nulling of it? if so, then (I hope) you will say to us as Pope Elutherius said to 〈…〉 lutius King of Britain, when he wrote to him to send him the Imperial Laws to govern Britain by, he wrote this answer, The Roman imperial Laws were made by men, and might be excepted against: But saith he. I have sent you the Old and New Testament, out of which you may gather sufficient laws to govern by: And (I hope) that none in this Nation dareth to be so blasphemous, as to say, that there may be found out a juster or a more righteous rule to walk by than that, if so, then what have we any longer to do with that Antichristian Juggle, which hath destroyed so many thousands of this nation: but let Christ be our King and our lawgiver, Oh! that I did know what Argument to use that might prevail with you herein! For, I am ●ssured, that so great will be the happiness that will come to this nation by it, that for the obtaining of it, I could wish, that it were written with my heart blood, rather than it should not be obtained. For the Spirit saith, justice and righteousness exal●eth a nation, and the fruit thereof shall be peace, and I am confident, that if you had more wisdom than Solomon, and could speak with the tongue of Angels, you shall never reconcile this Nation without justice; for I do see that God hath set it upon the spirits of the people of this Nation to have Christ exalted by establishing justice: My Lord, you have strong guards about you, and they are no stronger than need requireth, and I could wish they were stronger, yet my Lord remember, that except the Lord doth keep the City, the watchman waketh 〈◊〉: Now my Lord, if justice be an Attribute of God, G 〈…〉 〈◊〉 be divided, if injustice be found with you, assure y 〈…〉 that God is not present with y●●, and if any thing or per 〈…〉 can stand without God, judgye. I beseech you consider wh〈…〉 s the downfall of your predecessor, and do you think that God is changeable? would he destroy a King for the injustice 〈◊〉 was acted under him, and will he not destroy you for 〈…〉 far greater injustice, especially considering that it is committed against far greater light, and stronger engagements, and more public promises made before God and man? I beseech you remember, that all that have fallen before you, when they came once to live in the hatr●● of the people, they were short 〈◊〉, and how you do stand in the hearts of the people, I will not gratify your and the Commonwealth● enemies, so much as to commit it to public view; but I must tell you, that those that have your ears at command, and stoppeth them from your friends, those with the Gentlemen of the long robe, and others, with a religious cloak upon their backs to cover their knavery with all, will very shortly render you far more odiou● in the people's eyes than ever were any of those that fell before you. My Lord, it is not the Governor that the people kicketh against, but the manner of governing; for if the people be governed justly and righteously, they care not whether it be by OLIVER, Lord Protector, or by a Charles, by the Grace of God, or Parliament: but if they cannot have it from neither ofthem, than they will cease from them all, and lift up their eyes to the hills from whence their help cometh, and give the God of Justice no rest until the Government be put into the hands of Christ; therefore I beseech you consider what you do, lest you be found a Fighter against him; for though God hath given you many victories, yet my life for it, he will not give you the victory over his Son, but will exa●● him in despite of a 〈…〉 the Kings, Emperors, and Protectors in the world, and will suddenly call them all to a strict account for their oppressing of his members; therefore remember what God hath promised, that if you 〈…〉 〈…〉 ays please him, he will ma●e your enemies at peace with thee, therefore take no care to please this party, nor that party, but let thy care be to please thy God, by doing of justice and she wing mercy to the poor, & then never heed what this man saith, or what other men say, for it is not the sayings of men, but the counsel of the Lord that must stand; therefore take heed of making Christ thy enemy by quarrelling against his members, for he taketh any thing don't to them as done to himself: And my Lord, I beseech you consider, that though a Guard is good to preserve you against a 〈…〉 sible enemy, yet remember, that when that impartial ●e●j●●nt Death sh●● come to arrest thee, I tell thee it is not an Army no● Guard, nor Life, guard that can keep him out, and then to whom wilt thou she for help? The creature cannot help thee, and if thou shalt think to go● God, thy conssience cannot but tell thee, that thou hast not rendered to God according to what thou hast received from h 〈…〉; or he hath done thee many favours, and such as made the whole earth ring of them; but thy conscience and all this ●ation will witness against thee, that thou hast done nothing for him until thou hast freed the nation from the tyranny of the Gentlemen of the long Robe, notwithstanding that God calleth for it, his people hath prayed and s●ught it at thy hands both by writing and by word of m●uth: Oh my Lor 〈…〉▪ ●b●●eech you consider what a cloud of witnesses w●l come in against you, consider i●, (I say) before it be too late; for ●ss●redly, if you will not do that work for which he hath brought thee unto this place, ●ssuredly he will suddenly lay thee ●side; I beseech you consider that God hath put power into your hands to establish I ●stice and righteousness in this nation, and if there be a principle within you why is it not done, I do profess it maketh me to tremble to think how unanswerable it is, both before God and man. And the late King did think himself, as far from being questioned by man, as you can, yet you see what is become of him. I beseech you remember that it is God that ordreth the spirits of men, it is he that subdueth the hairs of the people unto Kings and Governors, and it is he that raiseth the spirits of the people against them when they do not govern▪ in and for the Lord; and I do not know any tie or rule in all the Scriptures, no not in the nearest relations that requireth obedience, but in the Lord, then if magistrates and governors will cast aside the will and law of God, and act in and for their own wills, and by the corrupt Antichristian laws which were divised by covetous men, with the help of the Devil, to enrich themselves by the ruin of many thousand families, widows, and fatherless; I say if they do act, and command, and govern in their own wills and by a Law which is so directly opposi●e to the will and law of God, than no wonder though there be so much murmuring and complaining in our streets, so much plotting & contriving the ruin and destruction of our governors, for the thing is of God, though the evil and bloody intention in them is from the devil and their own lusts, because they cannot set up Antichrist and establish iniquity and all ungodliness by a law, that so they might live according to their own lusts; this I say is of the devil, yet I say the thing is of god, and that for most righteous ends, to make governors afraid to act in their own wills, and by corrupt Antichristian laws; for hath not god promised that if our ways pleaseth him he will make our enemies at peace with us; then my lord, what conclusion can be drawn, when not only our enemies but our friends are at variance with us, and have sought our destructions? the Lord said to one, if thou dost well, shalt thou not be excepted? yes, thou shal● be excepted with god, and excepted with man; then my lord, who can hurt thee? who will plot any evil against the? nay, will not all bless thee, and bless god for thee that ever he brought such a man to rule over us? but my Lord, if thou dost evil, sin lieth at thy door, and certainly if sin once lie there, judgement will not be long absent, I mean judgement 〈…〉 h a witness, for it is a judgement to have the people ready to rebel and to rise up against thee, but when it cometh with a witness, it will take effect to the sweeping of thee and thine off from the land of the living, therefore my Lord, I beseech thee, lay it to heart; what will neither real mercies bestowed upon thee nor judgements threatened and shaken over thee, awake thee, though timely discovered to preserve thee? whereby god showeth thee how he could have cut thee off, but this he doth to make further trial of thee, to see if thou wil● be awakened and driven out of thy own will, to Act in the will and Law of thy god that so he might be a shield and a buckler unto thee, and unite the hearts of the people unto thee: Oh my Lord' I beseech the return to thy god and be safe, make him thy stability by establishing justice, judgement, and righteousness in this Nation: Oh! that thou woludst thus try God, and once in thy life keep a true fast by breaking the bands of wickedness, by taking off every burden, and letting the oppressed go free: Oh' I say, that thou wouldest thus try god, and see if he will not open the windows of heaven, and power down abundantly blessings of all sorts, both upon thee and thine, & this whole nation, then will the people bless thee, and when ever they do see thy face, they will make the heavens to ring with their acclamations and strong cries, which they will send up to heaven for thee, it will make the hearts of the widows and fatherless to si●g in them for joy, I beseech you consider of the greatness of the good which will come by it, for it will discover much more evil than I have, or is fit to mention in a public way, it will procure far greater good to this nation than my pen is able to express, for it will do the greatest part of your work to your hands, and it will be done on free-cost, for they will act without any salary, so that the work will be done without any trouble to you, or charge to the people, Oh, how will this unite the hearts of the people unto you! and it will remove your desperate enemies far from you, which now are in your bosom. I beseech you be no longer deluded by the Lawyers, to think that they will regulate the Law, & see justice done to the oppressed of the nation, for is it not their trade to oppress by their delatory proceedings, & putting fair glosses upon foul causes, making good seem to be evil, and evil seem to be good? whereby they do bring more detriment to the nation than all the cheaters, pick-pockets, Highway-robbers, or all the charge of the whole Army; is it possible that any which do live by the corrupt practice of the Law, should see the evil thereof, so long as the gain thereof is as a gift, which the Spirit saith doth blind the eyes of the wife? and these are wise men, they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no heart, I speak for the generality of them, I include not all, for I do know a few, and but very few of them of whom I have better hopes, but it i● an easier work to make ten 〈◊〉 Laws out of the Scriptures, than to reform the old, which is so full fraughted with corrupt juggles and deceitful tricks to make one shut beget ten others; but ●ethinks I do see the lawyers, the traitors and the tyrants. flo●king about my Lord, 〈◊〉 him, that these men cannot de●ermin things according to i 〈…〉 ce, because they are ignorant of the Law; to which 〈◊〉 answer, that they are men that are very well instructed in the Law of right 〈…〉 usness, which is the Law that must do us and ●hi Nation good, my Lord, I beseech you observe those that are most ●olici●ous against i●, and you shall see them discovered to be no friends to 〈◊〉, nor to this Commonwealth; and now my dear countryme● all, as I ●ave earnestly entreated some of you never to stir 〈◊〉 by way of hostility, for truly they do destroy themselves and families, and endanger the whole N 〈…〉 jon, for the sworn enemies thereof have made themselves as strong as possible they can waiting an opportunity to destroy us all; therefore it b 〈…〉 veth every man to have his eye about them, and to watch the movings or these vipers, who do seek to eat out the belly of their mother, and so I do as earnestly entreat you all to stir from every several County and City by impo●●unate pe●itions to move the Protector to grant us this committee, and then we shall see more good done in one quarter of a year, then ev●● all the Lawyers did since they were first created: And I beseech you give him no rest, for I know that his melting heart cannot deny nor with hold so great a good from this nation, for he cannot but see that it is a thing most acceptable, both to God and man. And now a word to the poor scatteced Saints, who goeth sighing and mourning after their God, and thirsting after a more f 〈…〉 ll ●evelation and manifestation of the unchangeable love of the father unto or in them, I do say to these, life up your heads, for your r●d●mption draweth near, the Lord whom you seek w●l come suddai●ly into h●● Temple: Christ is even at the doors to make himself glorious in his Saints, and admired in them that believe, and no wonder though they do admire their God, to think that notwithstanding all their wretched sinful courses, whereby they have provoked God to his fa●●, and done as much as in them ●y to ungod him; yet not ●ithstanding, his love is continued still unto us, and all that he doth to us, either for matter of prosperity, or adversi●y, all is out of his love to win●s back again unto himself though he be enforced sometimes to strip us of all our lovers, that so we may at the last, he arken to the voice of our first love, and then when he hath allured us to harken to him, and that he hath spoken comfortable unto us, he than proceedeth to batter and break us all to pieces in our parts, nay and in our graces also and maketh us to know that we do not only stand in need of the grace of God, but even of the god of grace, to bind us up, and to cure us of all our incurable diseases; as pride, hardness of heart, and unbelief; for it requireth no less power to work faith in an unbelieving soul, than it did to raise Christ from the dead; and if once we have found god to be a faith working god, what cannot that soul trust god with? he can trust him with all his graces and his righteousness, and be content to seek a righteosness in him, who is the Lord our righteousness; and then when he leveth in us, we shall act righteously, and justly: And yet not we but the grace of god in us, or rather the god of grace in us, these has fellowship both with the father, and with the son. And they do go to the father, in the same unction with the son, and can say, father, we know that thou hearest us always; to these I speak desiring to stir up their pure minds to be careful that when the father draweth them, they do run unto him, and by his own power surprise him, and let him not go till he doth bless this nation with the establishing of justice, judgement, and Righteousness, hold him fast I say and press him to it, for god cannot refuse to grant his own desires, which he hath stirred up in us by his spirit, for Father, Son, and Spirit are one, and all of one mind, and desireth in us of god, nothin● but what is the mind of god, both Father and Son, then why should we doubt but that Christ is at the very doors, for how strongly doth the spirit cry in his poor despised ones? and Christ saith, when the son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth, truly there is almost none that can believe that Christ is so near his coming as he is, but do we not s●e almost, all the scripture fufilled, which are to be fulfilled before his coming, as the great abounding of in●quity and the like Oh! let us not doubt but believe, for if we can believe, all things are possible, and truly I am confident that for this work I shall stir up all the corrupt Lawyers, the Papists, Priests, and Jesuits, and all the Traitors and Tyrants of this nation to combine together to destroy me, and then will pursue me even as so many eagles purfueth a partridge upon the mountains, but my god who is my father and husband, can preserve me from them all, and receive me as he did the dove into the Ark with the olive branch in her mouth; but whether he will or not, yet let them know that I fear them not in the least, for the worst hurt they can do to me is to break in pieces this veil of fl 〈…〉sh which keepeth me absent from my God, but I am sure so long as my father hath any work for me to do, they shall have no power over me, and when I have finished his work, I shall be ready to surrender that life which I have carried in my hands these five years, ready to resign it into the hands of whom soever he shall ●end for it; for than I shall enjoy the full fruition of that which he hath given me but an earnest of; & then I shall remain with him for ever, and see him as he is, Christ was obedient to the will of the father even unto death, and therefore sin, hell▪ and death were to weak to hold him, but was by the eternal spirit raised unto glory, and he hath given the same glory unto his members, and if thou wil● imm●●ate our head, in doing the will of the Father, by establishing justice and mercy, than all the bands of wickedness and snares of death wherewith thy f●●ttring enemies have encompassed thee withal, whereby ●●ine ears are stopped f●om hea●ing the cries of the poor, I say they shall all be broken, and be too weak to hold thee, and thou shalt be ●a●sed to a higher degree of glory then ever any mere man that went before thee; for assuredly the neighbour nations d 〈…〉 b●gin to tremble at thee already, and if God shall once appear ●n England in justice, judgement, and mercy, the I cell thee, they shall all fall before thee, and the good that shall come to this nation, by justice, will make all the commons of other nations rather invite thee then oppose thee. Oh! therefore, do the will of thy God, be faithful in a little, for what thou hast yet is very little, to what thou shalt have, for he will make thee ruler over much, and over and above thou shalt enter into thy Master's joy, which is greater happiness and treasure then to possess the whole earth, My Lord, Christ in the 5 of John maketh it a thing of impossibility for us to believe while we receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh of God only, and plentiful experience doth tell me, that when we do believe that God can and will give us and cast upon us far greater honour for doing of his will, than all the great monarchs of the earth can give us; then we will scorn to step forth to the creature for any addition, for what is all the honour that all the great ones of the earth can bestow upon thee? it is but titulary, and a mere shadow as nothing and endeth in trouble and horror; then much more that which thou didst receive from thy inferiors, and some of them did stand in more need of thy protection to keep them from justice, than thou didst of that honour which they did put upon thee, for thou wast much more honourable before, for assuredly they have given the but a mere bubble. But now my Lord, I beseech you be awaked to act in the will of thy God, and thou canst not want true and lasting honour, which shall remain with thee, and thy name shall be honourable to the ends of the earth, when thou art dead and gone; the work which God hath been about these many years past, is to draw all good into himself, and to leave the creature empty, that so we may see that all men, even the best of men are a mere lie, for we can no sooner receive any good by the creature, but presently we cry out, good master! whereas he telleth us, that there is none good but God, for all good cometh from him, and is but handed to us by the creature, as the water through the conduit- pipe, and yet we do rob God of his honour by ascribing that to the creature which is only due to the Creator, but when God hath taught us to cease from man and to make God to be all in all, by ascribing the glory of all the good we do receive unto God, who is the fountain of all good, than I doubt not but God will recover many of those eminent professors of religion, who have by their corrupt covetous and carnal actings, brought so great a blot upon the profession of Religion, by making them to see how they have been catching after the shadow, and lost the substance; and as I may say, have pierced the Lord of life, I doubt not I say, but God will recover them, but it will cost them deer, they must pass through the fire, nay even through hell itself, and the fire of the spirit must burn up and consume in them the fleshly principle, that Dalilah which hath betrayed them into the hands of the uncircumcised: My Lord I beseech you take care that none of the traitors of the old house, nor none of the lawyers do creep into this house, for if they do, it is impossible that any good can come to the Commonwealth.  
My Lord, the hearts of the people are much rejoiced, to see that greatness could not prevail with you to stifle justice for the blood of one innocent man, and doth fill them with hope that you will not suffer the blood of an hundred thousand men to go unexpiated. The Spirit of God never spoke any thing but truth, and that hath told us, that oppression maketh wise men mad, and some of this generation who is so mad as to act to their own destruction, did for a time cease, and would have ceased totally, if they could have seen justice established, but for want thereof did fall to their mad actings again, and were cut off. I do not read throughout the Scriptures, where there are greater promises made to any thing then to works of Justice and Mercy, nor greater judgements denounced against any thing than injustice and oppression: Oh! that thou wouldst harken to the Commandments of thy God then shall thy peace be as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the Sea, and thy name shall not be cut off, nor destroyed from before the Lord, but the Lord will do his pleasure upon Babylon, and his arm shall be upon the Chaldeans, and although the oppressor or the oppressing City Babylon should mount up to heaven, and fortify herself in the height thereof, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord, and the violence which she hath done to Zion, and the blood of Jerusalem shall be upon the inhabitants of the Chaldeans, and God will plead zions cause, and Babylon shall become heaps, &c. Oh therefore I beseech you slay out of Babylon, and deliver thine own soul, and be not cut off in her iniquity, for the time of the Lord's vengeance is at hand, and he will render unto her a recompense; therefore get thee into thine own country, for her judgement reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the ●kies, and the Lord's device is against Babylon, to destroy it. Oh my Lord! I beseech you consider that I desire nothing of you, but what God and this Nation calleth for at your hands, the doing whereof will so indeer the hearts of the Nation to you, that it will secure you for the future, the neglect thereof will set both God and the Nation at a distance from you, but the granting thereof will not only procure all the good formerly mentioned, but it will make such plentiful provision for the poor, that there shall not be a beggar in our Israel.   

A POSTSCRIPT, containing Reasons and Motives to move the present powers to grant us such a Committee.  
1. Reason. THis, and this only, is the means to ease the people's burdens, and to satisfy their minds, whereby their hearts may be united in love one to another, and to the present Government; for how can the people think that you do fulfil the end for which God hath set you over them, whilst they do see themselves so abominably cheated in every corner of the Commonwealth, and vast sums of money conveyed out of the commonwealth, and can have no redress for it?  
2. Reas. How can you think the wrath of God can be appeased towards this nation, whilst the blood of above a hundred thousand protestants, who were mass●cred in cool blood, is unexpiated, and those that had a hand in bringing it upon us, were advanced for their so doing, and are in Government amongst us, though it was discovered time enough to have had it prevented, and so to have prevented all the wars and miseries that hath since fallen upon these three Nations? In this lieth the core of England's sore, and until it be drawn out, it is impossible that this Nation can be cured.  
3. Reas. How do you think that God can bless you, by making the people to love and honour you, whilst you do suffer them to be destroyed by that abominable cheat of the corrupt practice of the Law, and suffer them to be arrested and laid in prison for many thousands, when there is not one penny due, and the greatest part of the burden o 〈…〉 doth light upon the cordi●l friends of the Commonwealth, and suffer thousands of widows and fatherless to be destroyed in their Estates by the Gentlemen of the long Robe, and by unjust sentences in the Courts, and no man's car is open to hear their cries: Assuredly, if the Scriptures be true, and if God be just, (as he cannot be otherwise) than he will continue shaking and overturning all the power of this Nation, until these things be remedied; therefore 〈◊〉 beseech your Highness ●o take these things into your serious consideration, & give your soul no rest until these things be reformed, for God hath p 〈…〉 ised that for the sighing of the poor and needy, 〈◊〉 will arise, a●d I am confident that there never was so much sighing and crying of the poor and needy unto the Almighty in any age in the world, as there is at this day. Some may object and say, that I am mistakes, & that there can be no such discoveries made out, because there hath been several Committees appointed, and little or nothing could be made to appear. To which I answer.  
1. That the Popish An●ichristian party had so interwoven themselves into the powers of this Nation, that they would not have any to be impowerd that would suffer any such thing to be done, for fear left they themselves (or their friends) should taste of the lash, and it is a thing impossible to persuade blind men to see, and who is so blind as they that will not see?  
2. I answer, that I have held correspondency with many intelligible persons from all corners of this Commonwealth, who will make it good, and I am confident that I can have hundreds of thousands that will engage in it, and if it be not performed, let me die the death.  
3. I do conceive that some in Authority may have some guilt of this kind upon their cousciences, which may make them unwilling to grant us this power. To which I answer, that the granting of this power will be so acceptable to the people, that it will be look'● upon as a sufficient means for whatsoever can be objected against any of them.  
4. My Lord, either you or the corrupt practice of the Law must of necessity fall; therefore down with that abominable thing, and establish the Righteous and merciful LAW of our GOD, and then thou wilt be established in Righteousness.  
And now honoured Senators, if there be any love unto Jesus Christ in you, or any longing for his glorious appearing, then put on bowels of compassion towards the poor and miserable oppressed of this Nation; for whatsoever is done unto any of the Members of CHRIST, he taketh it as done unto himself: And I beseech you remember, that your own Posterities are concerned in it, and must ta 〈…〉 of the Cup which you do provide.  
FINIS,
