THE writ of Restitution: BY The Lady Elinor.  
ANd now in this his cause, the judge of all the earth, Prince of the Kings of the earth, a case wherein all concerned; these are to pray three, who here sit in his place judges: Give me leave to speak, and show you a mystery, from this writ Amoveas manus, defended by the happy Mr. Maynard, notwithstanding opposed by Mr. Solicitor, with S. John, not knowing what Spirit he's of.  
Before who this day, the day of judgements figure, showing by reason of a writ of Error, not executable, three stand charged with contempt of the Court, pleading Ignorance, notwithstanding the aforesaid Amoveas manus writ being executed (as it were) the forbidden fruit tasted untimely; these men yet each discharged and acquitted: as let it neither be reputed impossible, how much opposed soever by others, for All to be saved at last, when the utmost mite or minute satisfied or expired, the worst of reprobates not excepted, in his time whose immense mercy inscrutable: this is the argument, Against whom no writ of Error feasible either or possible.  
Who saw every thing very good at first made by him, reduced to be no doubt to the same estate, as holds good from that of dust return to dust, every thing to the place from whence it came; fallen Angels and men restored every one, not left a hoof, &c. or lost of that kind bearing his Image.  
Of which general deliverance well understood to be an Article of the Christian Faith, famous Origen, from whose judgement other father's erring, forced were to erect a Purgatory for Saints, that Babel edifice of theirs; of whom the aforesaid ancient father, the worst they could say of him was, As he did worst of any when he wrote ill, so exceeded all men when he did well.  
And so proceeding with this reported Case of this days Hearing, where the fiery adversary upon their surmisings, pressing for a present sentence, before the accused heard or answering, charged, that although moved in open Court such a writ, the Amoveas manus to be respited: and accordingly a Supersedis issued out, delivered to the Sheriff then in being; the Tenants nevertheless outed of possession by the now under-Sheriff of that county about three months ago: whereupon he called and appearing, demanded of whom, how those doors came to be opened, denied not what he had done by virtue of such a sealed writ, by such a Solicitor brought to him; as for other writs concerning them, pleads Ignorance: One Pomfred by name, (alias Pomum) surprised in state of innocency, like her first in the transgression; (for pursuing which Allegory thus) showing one Massingal called, pleading ignorance too as the man laying the fault on Eve; he (some three years since in that Office) only had a Supersedis, of what validity now he knows not; for other writ, none came to his hand.  
Also Jo: Rand Solicitor called, he appears, no young Fox, not to be fooled with pocket Errors, refers to the judges, whether year after year that writ like to be of much force, brought beforce such and such Officers; namely the Treasurer, &c. when as in being none such, or like to be: And so this the Epilogue or end of it, their stale Errors being quashed; the writ stands good for taking off or removing his majesty's unhealing hands, his Tenants cashiered, moreover for strengthening which, another writ, a Writ of Restitution produced, brought in COURT, stops the lion's mouths, forced to put up their pipes, as let it happen to the enemy of General Restitution, sent to that parable of the unnatural elder Brother towards his own flesh and blood, Luke; and murmuring labourers, because their fellows mads partakers with them; endless unmercifulness thereof to bid others beware.  
And here to make an end with what penance imposed on those three for a presumption of that nature; these a touch of it: The under Sheriff Pomfred, somewhat of a low pitch, he never to aspire or take upon him the state or stile of a high Sheriff; the other sometime in the same employment or Office, Massingal to return to his domestic function or calling deserting former dainties. The honest poor Solicit' i: Rand as for him unto other Solicitors an example his lot, besides to pinch himself with hard and thin fare, never to attempt the King's Solicitors place, or St. John to be called like the wandering Iew.  
And so farther, no jesting matter neither of mean consequence, where like Twins, this finished tedious Law Suit in Trinity term; and God's word both sympathising or joined wedlock like the blessed Virgin and just Joseph Cousins, though abruptly in brevity's behalf handled or penned, presaging without doubt, maugre the old Serpents plotting with his smooth outside, through the holy Ghosts power, thethird person in Trinity, long silent though, or veiled under a cloud as it were, will immediately decide our Church-Differences, of such troublesome Times the cause, which Lord hasten, and teach them to discern the time better.  
And so hastening on, showing from hence how all shut up under ignorance, know not what they do; the man undone by the woman, aleaging for himself, suspected not, she unto him given, the Author to be of his ruin, having warning of it given him never; The woman on the other side again, The serpent's intents had she known, she had not been over reached by such his falseness & flattery, to the overthrow of her and hers, so many: The Serpent his excuse, he came but to try her for his part, what would befall was above his reach, foresawit not; no more than the old Prophet, that by means of him a lion by the way should tear his fellow Prophet: Or that such a mass of corrupted mankind should succeed to perish, since the words to them twain being, Touch it not lest ye die, importing but in danger of death.  
And thus since all Original sin the root pardoned in that last prayer, Father, forgive them, &c. sealed with his own Blood on the Tree, Restitution of course follows, who can forbid it, or show why the taking off, or removing of his heavy hand should not be an Article of our Belief, seeing this Son of Adam his administrator discharges all Debts from the beginning of the world to the end, which by that erroneous Opinion, Mother of Errors, they go about to annihilate that affirm, Out of Hell is no Redemption; who is able, having Ages of Ages (Rev. 1.) even from the world's beginning, the keys of Hell and Death, to turn this water into wine; and where he hath given a being, to cause such judgements to be for the best, the only Clay to regain the eyesight, howsoever Excommunicated this Truth by envious times; of Esau's race, endeavouring to disinherit and strip the Son of God, who gave himself a Ransom, not for some, but for All; All made alive in him: Forgive them, Father, &c. as showed afore, under ignorance concluded.

ANd without proving what we say, but as saying and doing, which are two, like to a cipher alone: and of more concernment these three witnesses in earth, then supposed, what power endued with, whereof as ensues in relation to the three in the high Court of Heaven (Joh. &c.) they styled judges of the Earth (to wit) the grave and prudent Barons of Exchequer; Et hi tres unum, &c. Mr. Baron Trevare, the Ancient of days in his likeness, His voice gone out into all Lands, &c. Psal. 19 The second like the Son of man, the azure clouds mixed his Foot-Carpet; The third answerable to the holy Ghosts slow operation, Miracles and prophecy for a time ceased, or like that saying of theirs, Have not so much as heard whether any holy Ghost, &c. committed to whose ministry the Mystery of Times and Seasons, by all the world slighted or derided, &c. several days before whom this troublesome trial appearing, of no mean consequence, the Manor and Rectory of Pyreton, by what means and indirect courses taken, thereto the King entitled, by juggling Projectors plots, an old Outlawry revived, caused hereby to stretch itself out by their breathing into it, &c. to overthrow a lawful Purchase and jointure, after enjoyed so many years, waiting their opportunity, the widow's Estate to cut it off, by such trivial encumbrances sifted forth: the very Image of the Beast, Revel. 13. xswith the Great-Seal faced forth, only paying His Majesty about a Mark yearly such a costly purchase therein by his own officer born out, his Solicitor General.  
Not unlike that dispute about Moses body, between the Archangel and the other (the Tempter) reported by Jude, this Law point debated so often in open Court, by the advantage taken of her imprisonment, that got into possession: So passing from this to the judges their charge for repairing this no slender breach, appointed to stand in the gap, to take off the Lord's heavy hand from him, namely the King, by conjuring this Spirit down, raised up in his Name, a lie in Samuel's likeness: And how came to pass, for the sin against the holy Ghost committed, showing also forgiven neither in this world nor the other; witness the Archbishop, taking prophecy for no other than madness, gone to his proper place from Towerhil: and yet delivered not groaning so long in travel the Kingdoms three, such distraction under witness in Ecclesiastical and Civil affairs both. As not unknown to himself these, of her coming unto him without manifestation not of a Commission in that case armour of proof, to give him a taste or warning of his judgement at hand, the hand writing (Dan. 5.) served on him in his gallery, was immediately by a reference answered under his hand bearing date, 1633 Octob. &c. Whitehal, committed for that cause the space of two years a close prisoner in the Gate▪ house, even Octob. 23. when brought first thither, honoured with the same very day of Ireland's Massacre, Octob. 23. and of Keynton-fight, &c. stripped of all ever since, a cup where of himself since hath drunk the dregs. This is the business that sleeps not.  
Howsoever he fallen asleep, like them bidden to sleep on, &c. she though then, and since armed with no few sad tokens of that kind come to pass on others no obscure ones; witness the Duke's fatal month of August foretold.  
With this for another observation, her jointure the Manor of Englefield whilst she in the Gatehouse, bought by the marquess of Winchester, how his of Basing, such an Example not the like, unlucky Babel Towers, toward the increase of widows and fatherless, made to kiss the ground.  
And impeaced of treason in this kind; no light thing; about their neck a meeter ornament what weight not unknown; then S. George a horseback. Yet for making atonement in that case for such his majesty's folly, like as when Jobs captivity said to return, was appointed to pray for his three friends: So on the other side, the aforesaid judges three to make his peace, to turn his captivity away, fallen so low as hard to judge, whether exposed to the dunghill, or the dungeons Slavery the greater or better Estate, unhapily by his own seeking happened.  
Nor his Name wiped out of this Record, once a good Confession made, afterward makes as bad an end, opening the very YATES of Hell, like Balaam, loving the wages of unrighteousness; his own Solicitor General, M. St. Joans holiness such an adversary, wherein the general good also a copartner with this of the widow's cause, which the Lord defends and stands up for it.  
In which, if any misprision hath been since their judgement irreversable, may if they please, appoint the Amoveas Manus to be renewed, &c. And with this belief concluding, Behold, I make all things new, as including Lucifer's Restauration, first and last of that Name, when the times of refreshing comes, morning and evening star both; also from his Badge the star born, both under one Planet infers, How art thou fallen too, &c. first of that Name, and last of great Britain's Kings, counselled by her his Eve, or CHAVAH, also Adam's figure, from whose hands the Lord vouchsafes to accept satisfaction none, declared as afore, as in like case, eaten by a lion, he sent to cry O Altar, &c. charged neither to eat bread, nor water to drink there, that King's arm which restored (Kin. 13.) so learned judges, his, savoury as Saul's sacrifice too, whom the Lord repented had made King; for your charge as the substance or sum of it, when Zion's widow restored, settled in her possession, by your mediation, orders a mitigation for his discharge, set as it were fast in the Sea, about whose neck a millstone to ease him, so this inference, every one in his order, even for Sodom easier, &c. its enlargement, before &c. return of Caernaums Captivity.  
Endless praise be to whom ascribed. Anno 1648.
