A New MAP OF ENGLAND. OR, Forty six QUÆRIES. By I. B. Contra publicos boasts, & majestatis reos omnis homo miles est, says Tertullian. Jus & aequitas vincula civitatum. Cic. LONDON, Printed in the Year, MDCLIX. I. WHether when any sober person prayed for the late Junto, it was not upon the same reason as the old Woman of S●racuse prayed for the long life of the Tyrant Dionysius, lest the Devil should come next. II. Whether Aristotle spoke right, Arist. pol. lib. 5. cap. 10. that all Tyrants have been first Generals and Captains for the People, under pretence of vindicating, or defending their Liberties. III. Whether that was not the chiefest reason that the Rump had to keep the Generalship in their own hands. iv Whether they are not justly retaliated to be so often stripped of their usurped Authority, since they as often subverted the Government, under pretence of the liberty of the people, and the Chimaera of the (Good old Cause) that they might invade that liberty themselves. V Whether if the Army should purge the Rump of all the ill humours, they would not reduce it to a Nonentity, or at least to make good the words of the Prophet Elishah. VI Whether the Junto were not mistaken in their Plot to impoverish the people by Taxes, Excise, Decimations, etc. (that they might want power if they had a will to shake off their Ægyptian Bondage) since they paid part of those Levies to the noble Army, who thereby had power as well as honesty to discharge from the great trouble of getting Estates. VII. Whether the Army hath not dealt very hard with them to turn them to Grass in so unseasonable a time. VIII. Whether Nebuchadnezar's Judgement that hath befallen our Hogen-Mogen State were not for the same sins, if not greater. IX. Whether Dr. Holmes ought not to be punished by the Marshal-law, for wresting and torturing the Scripture to prove the Junto to be a lawful Government; And that it was their Providence, and not the Valour of the Army vanquished those that so valiantly ran away at Chester. X. Whether Dr. Holmes married the Parliament (as he called it) and the Army by the Common-Prayer, since it is so soon become uneffectual. XI. Whether they be divorced a mensa & thoro, or, a vinculo matrimonii. XII. Whether it be not most advantageous that they be divorced a vinculo matrimonii causa frigiditatis (their Charity being grown so cold) lest they come once more to usurp by the Title of Dower; since all their other Titles will not hold water. XIII. Whether the Army ought not for the good of the Public to abate the place called the House of Commons, lest those running Foxes steal once more into their Den. XIV. Whether those Members do intent to rise at the second Resurrection, having risen twice already. XV. Whether the poor Cavaliers may not justly call that House a Den of Thiefs. XVI. Whether the Presbyterians might not to call the Speakers Chair the Stool of repentance. XVII. Whether Mr. H. M. ought not to have the pre-eminence to name it the Bawdy-house (being generally in fashion among the best Saints.) XVIII. Whether Sir H. V ought to be countenanced to call it the House of prayer (but rather the Preaching house.) XIX. Whether the Army are not bound to sell the Members of the Rump at the cheaper rate than in Fifty three, lest they can find no other Customer beside the Devil. XX. Whether it will not be convenient to except M. S. from Sale, and to give him liberty to set up Shop, having no other Employment now, to sell the rest of his fellow Members. XXI. Whether it be not fit for his better encouragement to prohibit any other beside himself to utter any of them. XXII. Whether such a Grant be a Monopoly. XXIII. Whether it be not Darcy and Allens Case in point, the Members of the Junto being as much the bane of a Commonwealth, the Nursery of Rogues, and the destruction of great Estates, as the making and uttering of Cards can possibly be. XXIV. Whether the Judges of the Common-law will be competent Judges of the Cause, since M. S. babbled so much against the Law which he did not understand. XXV. Whether M. S. ought not to be Indicted of wilful Murder, upon the Statute of Stabbing, being credibly reported that he killed Mr. Attorney Prideaux with his sharp words and threats of refunding. XXVI. Whether those Sycophants that fauned so much on the Infant Commonwealth (be not filii terrae) since the Army will not own them, nor give them leave once more to turn their threadbare Coats. XXVII. Whether the Cavaliers, or M. Jo. Can be now under the greater Curse. XXVIII. Whether the Saints in Southwark did not perform their promise in their Addresses to the Parliament, That they would live and die with them, when a thousand of them so valiantly appeared in Arms, and dispersed themselves at the sight of 20 Redcoats. XXIX. Whether when they said, That they would live and die with the Junto, that they did intent to live and die like them, viz. Knaves, Hypocrites and Rebels; since they construe Scripture always figuratively to serve their own turns. XXX. Whether we may not justly cry out with the Roman Host when Narcissus came into the Tribunal of Plautius, Io Saturnalia? since so many Servants in these days have put on the Habits of their Masters. XXXI Whether Dr. Owen's Infant Commonwealth was not an Anabaptist, since he nor Mr. Harrington could give it a Name. XXXII. Whether Dr. Owen ought not to unswadle the Infant Commonwealth, and lick him clean, for it is feared by many wise men that it is all bes—. XXXIII. Whether his Infant hath not cracked his crown against the Cradle, since he is become so addle headed. XXXIV. Whether it be not fit that Dr. Owen be made the Infant Commonwealth's Tutor during its Minority. XXXV. Whether Mr. Harrington is studying Monarchy, or an Aristocracy now, since his Democratical Government took no effect. XXXVI. Whether he did not take great pains to no purpose. XXXVII. Whether the Members that so highly opposed the Engagement against a Monarchy, because Christ was suddenly to Reign personally upon earth, did not intent one of the Members of the Army. XXXVIII. Whether Sir A. H. zeal for a Commonwealth be not quite set on fire in this great day of trial. XXXIX. Whether he would not willingly resign his Bishopric to be a King, notwithstanding he is a zealous Hogen Mogen man. XL. Whether Mr. Peter was not really asleep when he made his Dream, or whether it be his own or no, being it contains so much truth. XLI. Whether then it ought not to be admitted for a Proverb, viz. That Knaves and mad men do speak truth as well as Children and Fools. XLII. Whether Mr. Baxter be within the equity of the second Proposal of the Army to the last Junto, for charging Sir H.U. with Jesuitism (causelessly and groundlessly) though Sir H. be no Member of the Army. XLIII. Whether the Army would not purchase eternal honour, and the general Love of the People, If they would (now while it lies in their power) remit those Noblemen and Gentry that have offended against none besides those that were both the Armies and the Nations Scourge. XLIV. Whether those Gentlemen, and the rest of the Nation would not have omitted such a Concurrence, in defence of the Laws, Privileges of Parliament, and liberty of the people, if the Army had kept their Authority in their own hands, and not deputed those that made a breach of all, under the sacred Name of a free Parliament. XLV. Whether it be not a Duty Incumbent on each individual Member of the Army (which they own both to God and Man) to settle such a Government (upon the Basis of Religion and Law) that consists with the Genius of the greater and most considerable number of the people, yea, and upon such a Person in whom Right, Love of the People, and Law do Concentre, that we be no longer carried away like an empty Cloud, with the Whirlwind of particular men's Ambitions and Interests; more especially since a settled Religion, Law, Liberty of the People, and Privileges of Parliament wholly depended on it. XLVI. Whether if the Army seriously endeavour such a settlement, they will not be more happy; more certain of their Pay, and due encouragement, and then may justly claim the Title of a GLORIOUS ARMY.
