A Seasonable MEMENTO TO ALL THE ELECTORS OF Knights, Citizens & Burgesses OF ENGLAND, For the approaching Convention to Meet the 22. of this Instant January, 1689. SInce it hath pleased God to make England a place, where at this time He doth so eminently display the effects of His Wisdom, Goodness and Power, those glorious Attributes of His Divine Being, and thereby puts a price into the Hands of England, let it not hereafter be said, It was in the Hands of Fools; and if you shall neglect this opportunity, you may well be accounted to Desert your own selves, and run away from your own Happiness, since I think I may, without a lie, assert that no Record Sacred or human, can president our Case; such a Conjuncture made up of so many Important and wonderful Circumstances, and plainly calls aloud to all good Protestants and true English men, to give due praise to the Divine Author of all these Revolutions; and next seek His Blessing and Direction upon the farther use of means, laying aside all Animosities or Heats, and concur together, putting in their Mite into the common Treasury of Providential means, towards the perfecting this great and glorious Work, securing Religion, and restoring Property to all, according to the Laws of the Land, and undoubted Rights of every free-born Protestant so successfully begun by you, Prince of Orange, and those glorious English Patriots his Assistants in this Work, and that I may bring my share into the common Treasury, I offer these things following to the Consideration of every serious and unprejudiced Reader; and hope that the sincerity of the Design will Apologize for the weakness of the doing it. And tho this Convention be not a Parliament ipso facto, in full Sanction and legal Parliamentary qualifications, yet I am sure the consequence of that Assembly seems to call for all our care and prudence in the choice of fit Men to fill it up, and an Error in that Convention will be very mischievous to the Nation. 1. Then: Let me advice you to choose none Members to serve for Corporations that have had a hand in delivering up of Charters: and pleading for their Excuse Arguments taken out of Observators; and particularly, review those of the Aldermen of the City of London, who occasioned the delivery of Londons Charter; and so basely betrayed the Citizen to become a Courtier, which Action I hope is at this time not forgotten by any. II. Consider the panel of Jurors that were concerned in those great and remarkable trials, in which there were such strange Verdicts given, as Sir George Wakeman, Count Conings●ark, the brave Lord russel, Colonel Sidney, Alderman Cornish, Alderman Pilkington, the City Ryoters, and oats his Perjuries, and Braddon and Speak, and then Reflect, That if you choose any concerned in these Cases, you approve of the Verdicts, and Reward them for it, and give them opportunity to excuse their own Faults. III. Consider who were Judges, Counsellors, and Managers of all those before mentioned things, either in the first or second Paragraph, and think seriously, whether they did discharge themselves as just Judges, or honest Lawyers, or conscientious Jurors, and would in every state be done by, as they have done to others. IV. Choose Men of Parts to Know and Courage to Act whatsoever may be 〈◇〉 to the public; such who in former Parliaments have behaved themselves well. Let them be also men of Estates, such as will not buy your Voice now, in hopes to sell their own for profit hereafter. V. Such whom you Really believe have a true sense of Holy Religion, and that are men of a Christian Principle, in reference to due Liberty of Conscience, so that all that will live soberly and civilly under the Government, may have the Protection of it, and not made liable to be made a Prey, and their Families undone for want of strict Conformity to Ecclesiastical Superiors. Lastly, Choose none Members who attempted unheard of tricks in Elections about three years since, and afterwards did dare to sit, tho so oddly chosen: But rather, in the general choose those Gentlemen in their places that have been made Instruments of our present Deliverance. The occasion will refresh your Memory, that they have been Patriots for Religion and Liberty, and bold ones too. And when you have thus done, by your Prayers recommend them and their Counsels to the Almighty, that He will be pleased by them to settle His Holy Religion among us, and secure us our Liberty, so that it may not be in the power of any to subvert it for the future.
