ENGLAND'S REMEMBRANCES.  
AMONGST some say of a Wise Man, one of his best was, that the Life of a Life was a good Conscience: This may be good Counsel to our fellow subjects of England, at this time, in this Apostate Age, whereas nothing, but a present Finition is acceptable, upon no certainty; but great uncertainties, both of death, sudden changes, and alterations. This address, and faithful advice, is out of affection, and zeal, for the honour and happiness of the English Nation, which is as near and dear to a true wellwisher to his Country, as his nearest relations; all sufferings to a clear English heart in redemption of it, would be like a fair hot sun shining day, in the end of Harvest: For only excremental creatures, proceed, and dissolve in the like nature: But man that is chief born to serve God, his King, and Country (upon the principles of Virtue, Justice, and true Religion, according to revealed knowledge) hath a duty of injunction laid upon him. The blot upon our Nation, must needs trouble all English hearts: The deception under the Mask of Reliligion, which is now thoroughly unmasked, ought, and must command much Repentance: The Design of some of our Northern neighbours (with the conspiracy of some of our Country men) to pull down, one Ecclesiastical Government (for their own interest) before another was put into a method, for the settlement of Church Government, hath justly brought this confusion upon themselves in Scotland, and on us in England; and do not we see, how God hath worn our in their own actions, and blasted many of the Plotters of our alterations in England; although in Justice from Heaven we must look, upon our sins, the Nations sins, and the three Kingdoms sins, to be the moving cause from God, so to punish us: For is there any evil in the City, and God hath not done it, Amos the 3. chap. and 6. ve. that is the evil of punishment which we all justly deserve: Hath not God punished the Irish nation, now almost extirpated for that horrid Massacre, Murder and Rebellion, in that Kingdom of Ireland, palliating their wickedness under a counterfeit Commission and connivance from the last King, whose innocence was most traitorously abused in it, as was confessed, by Sir Philemon Oneal, before his execution, in presence of divers worthy and noble persons now living, who can testify it upon their voluntary or required Oaths: The King's Broad Seal being taken off from a Letters Patents for a grant of lands, and put to a forged and counterfeit Commission: And concerning those papers taken out of Mr. Secretary Windebants' study, and put by the Parliaments order into the custody of one Mr. Willingham, a Citizen of London, some years since dead, a noble Lord, and a Citizen of London, sent his Majesty word, that if any of those papers, concerning Ireland, or any other of them, might do his Majesty prejudice, (some persons of the Parliament intending to lay a charge against his Majesty about them) such a course was, and should be taken for their conveyance away (if his Majesty would have it) that they should never see light more: But the King sent that noble Lord word, and that Citizen (who acted the business with Mr, Willingham) that he thanked them for their love and care of him; but for any knowledge that he had, or had given order in, or for that business or massacre of Ireland, he defied the Devil and all his Imps, or any body else about it, but if any of his servants had done amiss, they must answer for their own faults, and this will be testified upon Oath before God and Man. And to confirm his Majesty's clearness in that business of Ireland, you see his enemies could not lay the least imputation against his Majesty in it, although they wanted neither Will nor Malice. For Scotland, how hath God punished that Nation, for the innocent blood and cruelties they have acted amongst themselves, for their perjury and falseness, for the breach of their public and national Faith, and agreement with the King, made solemnly in the Parliament of Scotland 1641. after full satisfaction given by the King in that Parliament, for that Church and kingdom, and by invading England again with an Army, contrary to their former Faith and Agreement, upon the surruptions making, wresting, and breaking their solemn League ad Covenant, construing part of it to serve their own sense and ends, and not taking the whole scope, sense, and Articles of it together, (in which Covenant the English Independents out-witted them) they supposing upon the interest of that Covenant to have overswayed the Parliament, made London their own in affection and interest, and so to have obtained the power of all England, but with what success hath God yet blessed that Covenant, being illegally entered into, at the first, although much, and not all, the contents thereof is good: The Covenant Makers, being the Covenant Breakers, who declared a public promise to have the King's approbation and confirmation of it, which was deferred, until they had a Sword to enforce and compel it, not a Christian like way to settle Religion, which otherwise should be by a Synod of Reformed Divines, legally called: And for delivering their King to the English Independents, when the Plot was visibly seen, for the destruction of King and Parliament, upon the Compact and Agreement for receiving 200000 pounds sterling, for their Army, when the King came to their Army, then at Newark for a Sanctuary (a Blot in Marble) whereas if they had kept the King, and not delivered him until they had treated with the King and Parliament of England, and London, so much longed for, and desired, the King, Parliament, and kingdoms had been settled upon the Bases of Justice, Truth and Righteousness, with a firm and lasting Peace, and a Religious and Civil Reformation, of all former errors, and although they had the public faith of the Parliament of England, for a Treaty with his Majesty, and both Kingdoms upon their delivering the King, yet they could not but well understand, by their Commissioners, who had lived long in England, at the cost and charge of England, that the Independent Faction, grew so strong in the English Parliament, and Army, which were no friends, to the King, that it could not be safe, for his Majesty, to be in that custody at Holmby, which was rather in the power of the Army than Parliament (as it proved too sadly afterwards) the Army being moulded, contrary to the first judgement of Parliament; where as if the King had been delivered, unto the protection of his subjects in London, there was then a visible power, and foundation, to guard his Majesty, from the design of Oliver Cromwell, whose design was well perceived by many at that time. And when the Scots had divested themselves of the King, by delivering his Majestey over: and Oliver Cromwell was acting that unparalleled death, which could not but be well known, (to the grand Committee of Parliament, sitting then in Scotland) by the advice of their Commissioners, being then in Westminster, who lukewarmly declared against that horrid act: and so did the Committee of Parliament in Scotland as Lukewarmly act, at that time in Sco●land, the King's best friends there, being excluded from sitting; but it is well known, what passed between Argile and Cromwell, at my Lady Humes house in Edinburgh, concerning the King's death. And after the King's horrid death, for breaking their Treaty made at Breda (fully consented unto by this present King) before they would suffer his Majesty, to land in Scotland, he then lying upon their Coast, in great peril and danger of the English Parliament ships, (then near his Majesty) whose deliverance, God prevented at Sea upon the coast, by a great mist: and for Enforcing a Declaration, upon the now innocent King after his landing, by the power of Argile, and the Church, to take the Gild of that kingdom upon his innocent self, and afterwards, by jubjugating his Majesty, under the pretended power of Church Government, and Cromwel's Creatures: For delivering up their Army, at Dunbar, (so much purged by the Church) by the Treachery, and Correspondence of some few persons, when Cromwell could not have stayed 6. Days longer in the country, and offered Scotland satisfaction, for the damage, he head done to that kingdom, and would have left it, and returned into England, with 3. or 4. Troops of horse: for delivering up there Forts, and Castles upon Treachery, and for money. As Edinburgh castle, by Dundas old Leisleyes' Son in Law, and Sterling Castle upon conditions, to save their own particular Goods, for delivering the Records of the kingdom: for their design at the coming in of Duke Hamiltons' Army in Anno 1648. not for a clear intent to relieve England, and themselves from the present treason and slavery then hathing by some compact persons of England and Scotland, but intending to have the whole power, and domination of the whole English nation to themselves, as it hath been clearly seen since, and confessed by themselves, and God prospered it accordingly: and in the Worcester business, no English power, nor Army must be raised, but under Commission, and power of the Scots, and hath not God, for their sins, and their only Acting the Scotch interest, enslaved them wholly to the English, and made their Kingdom a Mercenary Province, or Commonwealth, in subjection unto England, betrayed, and voluntarily submitted unto, by Argile, and some of their country men, lately sitting, in the late house of Commons in England, only for money, profit and their particular advantage, Scotland is never to be trusted, for the interest of England, unless the Exchequer of Edinburgh, were greater than the Exchequer of Westminster; and that Scotland were England, and England, Scotland, and is not this a greater judgement from heaven, upon Scotland, but blame not the whole nation, for many of their rulers have caused them to err, although the Commons, at this time (who have been formerly, to much enslaved by their Lords, and Landlords) are to much addicted to their lucre, and profit, wherein the English have indulged them, with long Leases, and by laying the Chief Burdens upon their Landlords, for the more quiet of that kingdom, but let Duke William Hamiltons' ingenious confession a little before his death, and his affection to the King, then also expressed at Worcester to a noble English Lord, now living, and the marquis of Moniros, his and the Lord Nappiers Loyalty, and some other Lords in custody in England, and others in Scotland upon their Parrol, have that everlasting memory, which their blood and honours have purchased. And England which is now, prevalent in power, but odious, by its Governors, both at home and abroad, unless to such, who are involved in guilt, and profit with them. If England repent not of its perjury, oppression, and injustice, to its country men, brothers, and of all the innocent blood, it hath spilt in England: for its breach of faith, solemnly engaged, in and out of Parliament before God, Men, and Angels, to the whole world (witness their declarations) and for suffering a compact number of conspirators, cunningly to deceive the people under pretence of Reformation in Religion, and the kingdom's abuses, who have brought in, a far greater destruction of Religion, than before, and overthrown all the liberties of the subject, enslaving them to an absolute illegal, and arbitrary power, and to the bloody lust, and wills, of any persons whatsoever, that may, or can hereafter, get, or obtain, any unlawful power, or Government whatsoever: who have destroyed the ancient, safe, healthful, and fundamental constitution of England by King, and Parliament, ad introduced varieties of mock Parliaments, to colour there wickedness, and to make monstrons Courts and constitutions, only to serve their own lust, ambition, and Avarice, and for the enslaving, and murdering of their fellow subjects, who with their Cap. General Oliver Cromwell, the grand Protectorian brook of the personal Treaty, in the Isle of Wight, with the last King, when his Majestey, had fully consented, unto the parliaments propositions, and given full satisfaction for a firm, and lasting peace in his three Kingdoms, and was to come to Westminster by agreement, to confirm them in full Parliament. The Parliament having voted the King's concessions satisfactory, wherein his Majesty, had given the subjects, more liberties, and freedoms in that treaty, and Consent, than all the Kings since William the first, and afterwards the said Cromwell with these Conspirators, did expel most of the members, of the house of Commons, and imprisoned, them in Hell, and two common Inns, in the strand, only leaving, such other members, in the house as were his Conspirators and pensioners who sold, their own Consciences, and the blood, lives, and liberties of the subject, by setting up a slaughter house (their high court of justice, a mere extrajudicial thing in law) on purpose to blood, and terrify the people, and to engross, the power, and wealth of the Kingdom to themselves, and the Committee men: what waste sums of money and plate, they have given to themselves, it is partly in print, but far more concealed: and can ye expect justice from them who make themselves judge and party, whose iron hands, you have sufficiently felt: and afterwards openly committed that horrid, and Barbarous Act, a thing never parralleld in the world, many or most of them, now convened, in this Fleeting wood Parliament, being those monsters, with there journey man Lentall the old Speaker (who corresponded, with the last King for his peace and assurance) that have brought all these miseries upon the nation, and do now follow the same dictates of blood, and innovations: and if ye suffer them to fit, you must expect, nothing but blood, ruin of your estates, and destruction of the kingdom, by all illegal, and arbitrary ways whatsoever, and to sell your remaining monuments of the kingdom, churches, and noble houses, and put the money in what Purses they please, and weaken the kingdom for a prey to a foreign Nation: These will be like the 30. Tyrants of Athens, the Decemviri in Rome, you have felt their hands enough already, and will feel them again, more to purpose, if you let them sit, who will call for any man's life and estate at their pleasures or displeasures, whose Pride and power is to treasure up unrighteous Mammon against the Day of Wrath: Their right to sit is nothing but force and violence (a Monster in nature) and a company of Thiefs on the High way, calling a Council in a Wood, and enlarging their unjust power by a Confederacy, have as much right to sit in Council, as these unsatiable Usurpers, and may give themselves the name of Parliament as well as these: but all pious and truly affected to their country, hope these will prove a Fleeting Parliament as fleetwood's Mock Parliament: The pact persons of the Council of War, with the old conspiring Members of the kingdoms miseries, being all Conspiratots in this misery for the nation, against Truth and Justice. That Parliament of which these were unruly and excremental Members, was absolutely dissolved by three ways: the force and violence upon the House of Commons, by expelling and imprisoning their Members, and then the utter expulsion and extirpation of the rest by Cromwell and his Conspirators (many now sitting, being part of them) which made that house sine Die●; and then the force and violence upon the House of Lords, after adjournment to a Day, the meeting of the Lords and their Speaker being prevented by the Soldiers guarding the House (who writ upon it, This House is to be Let) made it also sine Die, a natural dissolution: But the chief and main reason was the King's death, a most absolute dissolution, who called them by his Writ to consult with him, and where his Soul now is, it is feared many of them will never come without great & unfeigned Repentance. A Parliament is the great and free Council of the kingdom, not called as this Juncto is, by the Speakers or other persons, giving notice to one another for their meeting: but lawfully and freely called and chosen, for the making and mending of Laws, for the subjects good, whereby they may have protection and security, consisting of King, Lords and Commons, whereunto the subject may have address for his Grievances and redress of the same, fully confirmed by Act of Parliament, of King Lords and Commons, the great security of the kingdom: And if the Judges and Ministers of the Laws do not their Duties, they are loyable to legal judgements and sentences, according to the dismerrit of their offences. And England will never be happy without these Parliaments in Freedom, but otherwise most miserable, as at this time you feel by experience. And while that long Parliament called by the King in Anno 1648. kept its integrity and sincerity, God blessed it, but when it was cruel to its fellow Members, and unjustly intruded upon the King and kingdoms Rights, after full satisfaction given by his Majesty, as the Bill passed for taking away the Star Chamber Court, and other offensive Courts in the kingdom, Bishops out of the Lords House, and after that passed a Bill for a Triannual Parliament, and whatsoever else was for the kingdoms good, and offered the Parliament after wards only to treat with the Synod of Divines himself, or else for his Majesty to choose 20 Divines to sit amongst them, for the settlement of the Discipline of the Church, as by his message of the 20. of May, which 20. persons could not overvote 120. or more: But by the Gild and Ambition of some of the Parliament Members, when that Parliament made itself a Court to tyrannize over its fellow subjects, their lives, liberties, and estates, and accumulate the wealth and treasure of the kingdom to its self, 
●nd Pensioners to ●…vel and their ●…ittee-men: God ●…t low and con●…ble in the eyes of ●…ple and at last, ●…wn Members,  and its mercenary Members, to turn one another out of the House; and will ye serve the scum and offile of that Parliament, that create themselves a name and power without Law, Right, and Justice, whereby to murder your persons, consume your estates, and give you nothing but changes and uncertainties for security and settlement. O England, England, repent, repent of all thy Perjury and breach of Faith with God and Man, of the breach of thy Allegiance thou hast sworn to thy lawful King, and his Heyors after him sworn unto, and declared to the whole World, by the Members of that Parliament, and by these now sitting at Westminster, and all the other several Oaths, Vows, Covenants, Protestations and Declarations, in order thereunto for the honour and happiness of the King and kingdom, That you will with your Estates and Lives, mutually preserve the Rights and Privileges of Parliament, and Liberties of the kingdom, and Preserve and Defend his Majesty's Person and Authority, that the World may bear witness with your Consciences of your Loyalty, that you had no thoughts nor intentions, to diminish his Majesty's just Power and Greatness. O England, England, Repent, Repent of all the multiplication of Illegal Oaths and Engagements thou hast taken, and never take any Illegal Oath more, although it seem never so religious; but such as are confirmed by King and Parliament, the wholesome and only lawful constitution of the kingdom: you feel the event of illegal oaths well enough. And London the great Metropolis of the kingdom, sell not your estates, liberties, lives and consciences, as you do your wares and goods: you have done too much already, and make not yourselves abominable to all succeeding generations: you could fight well enough to bring yourselves into slavery, but not to free yourselves out of it the time was when you had the prize in your hand and may yet, if ye will put on wisdom and courage to redeem your honours, and yourselves from slavery, and preserve the rights and privileges of Parliaments, and restore the King upon the principles of honour and justice, and for your own, and the kingdom's liberties and security: you had those which stood in the gap for you, who thirsted to have hazarded their lives for your redemption, and their King and Country: But you suffered yourselves to be cheated and betrayed into a Treaty, by two or three of your Aldermen, and some others, Citizens and Ministers, who were Cromwel's Factors, and betrayed you, (as judas did Christ, or like Sinon who brought in the Grecian horse into Troy) when the power of the whole Army was not one quarter equivolent, to the power and strength of the City; whereas if you would have defended your own and the Parliaments liberties, and maintained your Declarations (which you so unworthily recalled, as the Parliament also did theirs) most of the Army had come off to you, and this you were told by some of your very faithful and good friends, and was there any appearance of blood, If you had not accepted the message for acceptance of the treaty, by 6. of the Clock at night one day when the Army was at Turnam Green, and by Brainford, into which you were scarced by the long wound speech of Cromwel's messenger; the said messenger telling the Common Council, that if by 6, of the Clock that night, Cromwell and his Officers of the Army, had not notice of your acceptanee of the Treaty, the Army would be engaged in blood, with the City forces at the Forts, and it was 9 or 10. of the clock at night, before the message was sent from London, and the same long wound messenger returning again the next morning, to the Common Council in London, from Cromwell, and his Complices who were then at Zion house, told the Common Council, that the night before, as he went to Zion house, that there was about half a troop of horse, in an Inn in Knightbridge, and one Centinel in the street, and at Turnam Creen about one Regiment and half of Horse, the Troopers all lying a sleep, and their horses feeding, tied to the Troopers legs, unless a Centinel or two in the high way, and that was about 10. or 11. of the clock at night, and what faith was to be given to that messenger, who ye knew, was the Cabals Creature of Cromwel's and my Lord Says: If ye had sent Cromwell word, that if he shot his Guns against the City you would Ring your Bells, as the Duke of Florence told Charles the 8. of France when his Army was before Florence, and then the King's Army durst not meddle with the City by which courage and Resolution, the Duke preserved the City and its liberties & so might ye have preserved London. Repent London, and Redeem the innocent blood that hath been spilt by your means, I say you could fight well enough to enslave yourselves, but not to Redeem your lost honour, which formerly you have long enjoyed: And until England return to its Loyalty, and its Just Principles, for King and Parliament, it will be like a man in a fever, removing from one bed or Pallet to another, but never be at ease, or rest, until the fever hath left him. Why should these new Fleeting wood Governors (so much hated) think to keep their intended Government, built upon the Principles of Injustice, Avarice, and Ambition, expect more security, than the former Protectorians, or other changes of Government have had, hath not God overthrown the former pretended Reformers, who sought their own Ambition, and power, under pretence of the kingdom's Good, how many Changes and alterations have ye had since the last King's death: and can England without Repentance, promise its self more security then former Empires, and other Kingdoms have done, hath it not been conquered by Romans, Saxons, Danes, and Normans, and are not England's sins as great now, nay greater than formerly: Is there not a General Apostasy of Magistrates, ministers, and people do not almost all serve for lucre and Gain, and dawb with untempered mortar, and ministers who would be accounted pious and Religious, Entitle God to their Daubing sins, against knowledge, only for worldly profit, and Pedantic honour: and may not England without Repentance, suck the dregs of God's wrath, and make England in Conclusion, the most miserable of the 3. nations: let then that stand, take heed lest they fall: it is a kingdom, more envied then affected, unless for its benefit; and if the pride, malice, fury and revenge, of Scotch, Irish, and Foreigners, fall on it, (from which God keep it) it may be harraced, with iron hands, and hearts, and your Children, friends, Neighbours and Country men, sold into foreign plantations, and slavery with as little, or less mercy, or pity, than ye have sent and sold your Neighbours, Country men, and brethren: Do not ye see in these alterations, how God doth visit the sins of the Parents upon their Children. Therefore as a good Physician, and Chirurgeon, must know the disease and wound, before he can cure it, so Pardon the zeal of this pen, not intentionally to Corrode, but Heal, for without sense of sin, there can be no true repentance: but let not us say like Cain, and judas, our sins are greater than God can forgive, for if we Repent, God will forgive, and if England return to its loyalty, Just Government, or lawful obedience, it will be hearty forgiven, and then, it will be firmly settled, upon a sure foundation, in its just liberties that King and people, may enjoy both their Rights, and a full oblivion of all that is past, firmly confirmed by the King in a free Parliament, the great sincerity of the kingdom all these late ways, being absolutely Mutinous and Tumultuous: and are a very few persons considerable to the good and happiness of a Nation (who seduce the Soldiers, and others that would be good Subjects) who if they please, may secure and save themselves, most of the Grand Actors of that horrid death, and murder, God having Reserved their judgements to himself: do not you now plainly preceive, that Cromwell's murdering the last King, and his fair and Religious pretences, for the Kingdom's Good, were only steps to get the Crown himself, and not finding in his life time all things concurring for his atcheivement thereof: yet after his death would have his Effigies, adorned with Trophies of the Regalia, the Crown, Globe, and Sceptre: and these few persons now, that contrive this new Government are only to make themselves, Voces Plebi & Magistri Plebi, making the Council of State, to bring forth their Monster: Their mock Parliament the God fathers, the Army their actors: and the people their porters and spectators, to receive the Blessing (from them) of Issachar, and themselves enjoy the free Common wealth, of wealth, Ambition, luxury, power, and Revenge, against whom they please: Do not ye see they begin, with Lentall their Speaker, to make him as absolute Lord Chancellor, as ever any was before, and themselves will follow in other places, being the Giving Parliament, one to another. And whereas in Monarchy you have one head, to resort unto for justice, and if his ministers fail they are Punishable by law, and Parliament; but where you have many to Resort unto, it will be like the old saying of the Deans and Chapters come to them apart, they are all honest, but together they are very knaves, and so will these be. Have ye got any thing by your often Changes, but loss of your Blood and estates. O that England would vindicate its self from those blots and just aspersions now upon it for its own honour, and happiness, and terror of its no friends abroad, that it may have a firm and lasting peace within its self, which it can never have, without its lawful King. Never was England more happy in a King, than it will be in this King's Restoration, whose nature cannot be a Tyrant, who thirsteth, to receive his subjects, into his Gracious Favour, and heartily wisheth the Good, and Prosperity of England in general, and its Metropolis London, which now serveth its Chargeable Taskmasters for the Avarice and Ambition of a very few persons: your lawful King is an Englishman born, and in heart and Affection the same (although loving, and just to all his subjects) of whose Gracious disposition and Princely parts, his Enemies must, and do Confess, and for his mercy, let him Confess it, that the King pardoned in Scotland, who was sent out of England, to murder his Majesty, as he voluntarily Confessed himself, after his apprehension: and for his care of his Subjects, let his peaceable, and unhurtfull march to Worcester with his Army, (by his Majesty's especial Command) testify, wherein the kingdom, received not the least damage by it. The kingdom's Terms, may be honourable, gracious, and secure, with the King, who thirsteth to come unto the Crown, by the interest, and love of his own people. His Majesty also hath two Royal Brothers to Confirm his subjects security: The world cannot equalise such three Princes whose fame soundeth loud abroad, and do not think, but God which so miraculously preserved his Majesty in going to Scotland, and afterwards in Scotland, in so many dangers and Casualties, and also when two were sent thither to murder him: and after the Defeat at Worcester, God so miraculously delivered him, and sent his Majesty safe into France, in which escape he shown more than Kingly Courage and Resolution, and God which hath delivered the Duke of York in so many hazards, and desperate Charges, and Dangers, in the field, wherein his Highness, hath performed to Admiration, and the Duke of Gloucester who by especial providence of God was sent out of England, young (not out of Cromwel's affection to his Highness, but fearing his Title to the Crown, and the people's affection to the Royal Family) who in the last assault before Dunkirck fought like a Prince, and never left his Royal brother the Duke of York a sword's length, and how they charged, again and again, & what service they did there is well known, for there Everlasting honours: and do not believe but that Almighty God, had reserved these three great Princes, for some great work: they are bone of your bone, and Flesh of your Flesh: and if England, will not be just to its self, in doing justice where God requireth it God may be Graciusly just, to their Lawful King, who never offended England (but desireth its good hearty and loveth it) and restore his Majesty upon the injustice of a perjured nation: doubt not but in a general peace, there will be a consideration for him by other Princes (who may be served, as he now is, by their own subjects) whose Justice and right it is to be your K. have a care of the old Motto, se● sapit ingratus. Therefore England make it thy work alone, and have the honour and happiness of it thyself without thy neighbours: The King is your father, your country is your mother, and until father and mother be united, the family must be divided: And as he is your natural and only lawful King, so no King under Heaven hath a clearer Title (most Kings not so clear) the Saxon, Norman, English, and Scotch Race, solely and wholly centring in his Maj. And if the armies by sea and land are sensible of their own honours, profit, and advantage and security, and the kingdoms happiness, they will rather serve the King and kingdom than these Fleeting masters, every day changing upon uncertainties, and upon this just settlement of King and people: Their Arrears will be paid and satisfied, and the Commanders and Soldiers employed for the honour and advantage of the nation. And is it not more noble and beneficial for ye to be in a continual and honourable employment, with the love of the kingdom, then upon these uncertainties ye now are in, with the kingdoms curse: upon this just settlement of King and people, the discipline of our religion will be settled the nearest way agreeable to divine Scripture truth, withal respect to tender consciences: your King, and his two royal brothers, are reform Protestants (in which reformed religion, with God's grace, they refolve to live and die) for which Rome is not their great friend: And upon this just settlement, oblivion of all errors will be passed in free Parl, with full indemnity, the exceptions included with your own judgements, Estates comprimized and secured by Parl, his Maj. Court regulated, the Law rectified, the kingdoms abuses reform, Trade restored and enlarged, manufactures increased, Land improved, and a great part of the kingdoms charge taken off, men's minds settled in peace and quietness, and the people governed by law and love, penalties confirmed by Parliam, against distinction of nick names, whereby the nation may be brought into an amiable posture and condition: and a full and perfect Act of amnesty and oblivion passed and confirmed by King and Parl. with invocation unto Heaven for its observance; and noble Acts advanced, for just and honourable ends, for the honour and advantage of the nation: Experience having improved your King, and our English nation, by awaking them out of the drowsiness of a slothful and luxurious Peace. This Comenting at home of King and people, will prevent all foreign designs, and make us formidable and terrible abroad, and on the contrary, by our divisions endanger us, for a prey to other nations: Therefore (again) England, have the honour of it thyself without the help of thy neighbours, who brought thee into confusion: And all ye loyal subjects of England, and excluded Members of the long Parl. by Cromwell, that were for the personal Treaty in the Isle of Wight, and all ye Nobility, Gentry, Commonalty, Justices of Peace, Sheriffs of the several counties and shires, and all cities, and towns corporate, all Magistrates and Members of the kingdom whatsoever, who have all your rights from the Crown, your lawful King and his Heyors, and that do enjoy your laws, liberties, francheses and freedoms, from the concessions of King and free Parl, Rise up, as Thrasibulus did against the 30. Tyrants of Athens, and as one man put yourselves into a posture of defence, against any power whatsoever that shall invade your Rights and Liberties and debar ye of free Parl, which are your birthrights and inheritance, and then treat with your King, from whom you may have honourable and safe conditions for the honour, happiness, and safety of the nation, the children not bearing the sins of their Parents, as in the Prophet Ezekel— and make yourselves famous over all the world, to all posterity: And unto the opposers of this happiness and settlement, throw into their hearts and faces with invocation up to Heaven, the breach of all their Oaths, Vows, Covenants, Protestations and Declarations, for the honour and happiness of the King, for the freedom and Privileges of Parliament, and for the good and liberty of the subject (as Amutath the great Turk, did against Vladislaus King of Hungary: The Time, and Covenant Breaker when his Army was almost lost before his Invocation unto Heaven, and then gave him a wonderful victory, over the Hungarians) that ye may be hereafter governed by law and not by the lust of men, and be confident, God will bless ye in it and will strike such a daunt, and terror into your Enemy's hearts, that oppose your just and righteous Cause, that 10. of ye, shall chase an hundreth, and 100 of ye put 1000 to flight, but you must do it, with zeal, and dexterity, for all the Kingdom, to Rise, as one Man, on one Day, and God bless ye in it. Ye have men enough to head ye: The protection and enjoyment, of your laws, lives, liberties and Estates, being all taken from ye. Therefore ye must protect yourselves, as ye are bound, by the law of nature, that afterwards ye may have a free Parliament called, to settle, and confirm your laws, liberties and Estates: and in your rising; use the people as Brethren, and country men, not cruelly but kindly, and be sure, ye are not created by independent treaties, nor long wound speeches, let them seem never so religious (you have experience enough of that) until you have a free Parliament chosen, not only to confirm your old Magna Carta, but to make a new Maxima Carta, Truth doth rest, and is quiet, when its just ends are granted, but falsehood never: where is now Quintus Curtius, that stopped the Gulf of Rome, and Scevola that lost his hand to save the city: remember Sisia the noble Bohemian that defended prague against the whole Imperial Army take but courage you have 9 parts of 10 of the Kingdom for ye: therefore O English Blood, and hearts, redeem your Liberties, and declare only for a free Parliament for the settlement of your laws, liberties, and Estates, (a most just cause and most safely may be Acted, with a good conscience) and God bless and prosper ye in it, that his infinite Majesty may have the honour and glory and the whole nation, and your posterity after ye, may have the benefit, and yourselves of this age be engraven in everlasting monuments, for the restorers, of your Kings and countries liberties, upon the Principles of Truth justice, mercy and amnesty; for so prayeth every true hearted English man.
