To the Honourable, Oliver Cromwell, Esq Lieutenant-General, etc.  
Noble Sir,  
YOur own high merit not only, but that renowned Family of yours (envied a little not) Lord Cromwell Earl of Essex, such a Benefactor or Pillar of Church, begets this boldness in her to salute you, though farther to be acquainted have not the honour; but so much honouring them or their memory, through whose clemency or zeal, when the Faith lay at stake, we enjoyed the Scriptures first in the vulgar or mother tongue, which began with the Commandments and Lords Prayer, etc. She saying nothing but according to the Scriptures; whereof thus,  
August, 1647. Being your humble Servant, etc.   

The Excommunication out of Paradise,  By the Lady Eleanor. 
THe Ark, Baptisms express figure (Pet. 3.) No such custom admits in Church, of those knowing not good from evil, to be Baptised; witness at man's estate all of them saved by water: where his three Sons, though married all, yet had none born unto them till after the flood, Noah that according to all the Lord commanded, so did he.  
Neither after our Lord's example, of obedience giving to understand, As my Father gave me commandment, so I do; he at full age arrived: The Dove when as descended, or abode on him, who began then to be about thirty of Age, thrice ten: Certainly had a great thing been commanded, as they replied, Naaman bidden, Go and wash in Jordan, etc. How much rather this imposed, But go ye and preach; He that believeth and is baptised, shall be saved (verse.) according who went forth and preached every where; where thus (ver.) Both men and women were Baptised: As the Eunuch for another, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest be Baptised: So he whose Father and Mother answering, He is of age, ask him; and again, Therefore said his Parents, He is of age, etc. (joh. 9) He bidden, Go and wash, as much to say, Godfathers and Godmothers needless.  
The Church past nonage, hath need of milk no longer, such meat no● belonging to Babes: Now (to search the Scriptures) the wedding Garment expected from none such under age; witness Marriage honoured with his first Miracle; of the good wine till last reserved, himself the blessed Bridegroom watched so long for.  
And He that despised Moses Law (Heb. 10.) if died without mercy; what incur they that offer despite thus unto the Spirit of Grace? alleging, because of Children brought unto him, and setting one in the midst of them, saying, Who shall offend such one of these little ones, etc. and laying his hands on other; and except ye receive the kingdom of God as a little child, therefore the persons of men and women are excepted: whereas of another sort in truth signify Babes and Sucklings, of whom said, I thank thee, O Father, that hast revealed these things unto such and such, hidden from the learned; whose weak Objections these, of Little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven; only spoken after a comparative way, as afore shown, little for their purpose: who produce Circumcision, appointed for Males, to uphold this Antichristian custom in times of Ignorance, through subtlety crept into the Church, with the Serpent (as it were) yea, hath God said, Ye shall not, etc. the very forbidden fruit untimely tasted, as the Common prayer book partly confesses, in old time; but at Easter and Whitsuntide administered, which custom, say they, out of use, cannot well for many considerations be restored, etc. without mentioning so much as one in behalf of their mock-Baptism, founded on Circumcision of Infants, a character not to be blotted out in the flesh, that impression even verifying the Sow's returning to the mire, and the Dog gone back, etc. as accompanied with a point of more concernment than Joroboams preferring to the priesthood the inferior sort, or his offering incense, those Mother Midwives Joan Baptists suffered to take that office upon them, because of Ziporahs' circumcising her Son.  
So turn ye to that warning piece (Apocal. 13.) of the Antichristian Beast whose desperate wound was healed; and the false Prophet's description, and see upon what foundation both State and Church stauds in the last days (verse.) And I stood upon the Sea, and I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven Heads and ten Horns, crowned, etc. expressly bears date the present seventeenth Century, even the British beast also armed at all points, from Brute its Name derived; where Europia (as it were) carried into the Sea: Besides Caesar's adored Image, not to be drowned in forgetfulness, and tribute money from strangers, wounded forest of all by Brutus, he of his own begetting foretold of the fatal Ideses of March; by whom the year was set according to the Sun, Three hundred sixty six days, corrected the Calendar, whose Names lives to this day both of them, Julius Cesar, the Month of JULY named after it. As for the Man of Sin, the other Beast his coming out of the earth, horned like the Lamb, but a Dragon's voice, the tithes (to wit) or fruits of those Rams, no few surnamed, Pope Innocent, he that runs may read it; whose feigned Miracles, with Cross and Crucifix adored, like that of Gold, whose height sixty cubits, and breadth six (Dan. 3.) and thus running over the Number of his Name 666 namely, Julius Cesar and August, whose numeral letters Vic Lwvi about the fortieth year of which Reign (Augustus) who reigned 55 years and odd Months; the Lamb of God came into the world, aged 30. in the fifteenth of Tiberius' reign (Luke, etc.) so that the aforesaid the 55 years and six Months, to Months 666 amounts the Grigean Account put into the reckoning; since which Empires rising (1600 complete) as low declined; & whether or no our British Coat the Leopards spotted or pothered robe (vers.) be not as Esau's voice from jacob's to be discerned, or the Lambs from the Dragon's language, even paralleled with the ten persecutions, these days of ours the ten horns subscribes it; one Isle calling unto another, Patmos Isle unto Great Britain's, and this great beast followed so, and admired of all the world; said to rise up out of the sea; gins not too with that Founder of the Spanish Faction, George Duke of Buckingham, of the Order of Saint George, Master of the Horse, Admiral of the Seas, as by the Names of Ships, the one a Leopard, the Lion another, the Bear, etc. he with a Butcher's knife slain at Portsmouth in the Month of August 1628. having continued from 1625. March, beyond expectation; ten years that was a Minion to the former. And so much for his three years and an half, (ver.) together with the time expressed of his continuing how long, who went away from his Parliament (1641. Jan.) until Nazebies' victory (1645. June) where the Dragon's great Authority personates, S. George the patron of that Order; as count the number of his Name also, Viscount Wilers (Vic Lwvi) or 666. wanting no open mouth, if standers by to be credited, his last words heard at Portsmouth, at whose dispose not only high Offices, but the Crown Revenue, Six hundred thousand pounds and more per annum, the weight of Solomon's Gold (2 Chro. 9) 666 Talents alluding thereto.  
Where the treasurership the other Beast that came up out of the earth, spoke as the dragon, not a true word as much to say, of late in the Clergies custody, as by the horns of the Lamb signified the two Archbishoprics bought and sold with the rest.  
And as the story of 88 the Spanish Armadoes defeat, witness in this catalogue, the Hang of the the House of Peers, bordered about with so many Heads and Names, as it were (v.) I stood upon the sand of the Sea, and I saw a Beast rise up, etc. with all those crowns, etc. also in the House of Commons, those pieces of Tapestry, of Fruitage and Flowers, all in their pots coming out of the earth about 666 sometime in number; and so much touching that Allegory of their rising up, set between pillars, referred to the beholders, Hang sometime belonging to the Abbey, as it were the others up, and that spoke, &c (vers. xi.) the influence of the ten Horns, pretending to the French R. for another, with no inferior mouth 1610. mortally wounded, whose Faction revived by the Cardinal, lives and breathes to this day by his skill, such the mutable condition of all, Behold, as he stood upon the sand, though said, Who is able to make war with the Beast? As Essex behold too Viscount Hereford such another, from Herald's mystery deriving that appellation, as the Stag or red Deer bearing it for his Crest; and so count again, Numerus ejus sex centi sexaginta sex, Rev. of whose rising from the generation of the Welter's: Walter Devorex begetting Walter: and Walter Deu. Walter and Walter, etc. some six one after another of that Name.  
Not without his sevenfold Blasphemous Titles, superscribed one as deeply interessed in the Horns as any other, in the Forehead signed with the Horn; that married was in the year 1606. at the years of 16. 1636. who fathered a son; and the year 1646. Sept. 16. aged 56. in the sixth year of the Parliament was stricken in the head by an an Apoplexy, that blow invisible too, whose Father, aged 36. that was beheaded, plotted by Walter Rawley, when as the Adored Image of the Beast, with those coat arms so adorned, as though he had been alive followed of all: In S. John Baptist Chappel interred for the Welter's sake, the last of his name of Essex.  
Lastly, in these troublesome Seas tossed Kings of the North and South, French and Spanish, such dutiful sons of Rome, the horns ten pointing that way not only from Cornu & Corona, as Carolus derived, ten in number, four of the Race of Charles the Great, and six of the House of Austria; but from Henry the fourth of Lancaster House, unto Henry the Eight, and his progeny ten even Crowned; whereof the prophet Daniel thus, cap. 7. v. 23. of these devouring Tyrants, treading down Laws, etc. And another shall rise after them, divers from the first (to wit) o● another nation, before whom three fell, by whom changed bo●h the Name of the Kingdom, and their Liberties, etc. no other than Great Brit. Scotish-horn, speaking with such a lawless mouth, succeeding those three without issue, Edw. 6. Mar. and Eliz. of whose time and times and half, or three years and half, the truth shown afore of it, from the most supreme mystery that of times and seasons, signifying how long from his unhappy departure from his Parliament, until his being taken 1645. and outed, etc. of whom the last news, his Resurrection or rising out of the sea, brought to judgement; so hitherto the end of the matter, as Daniel 7, etc. only these, Let him that is filthy, be so still, and he that is holy also, etc. and he that is a-thirst, take the water of life freely, which children and Infants are not incapable of, are free without it, cannot thirst or long for what they never knew, the Spirit and the Bride saying, Come, and if any man thirst, etc. out of his belly (he that believeth) shall flow rivers of living water, ●… Joh.) proclaimed that great day, of it so much.
