XXXVI. Religions, Sects, Societies, and Factions, of the Cavaliers now in arms against the Parliament.  
I Cardinal's) Assume to themselves a Masculine power over the most royal consciences even of Kings and Princes, and overtopping the Crown, dash the Septar against that truth which dares to say so. Thierry Will is as rotten as old, fit for a munument in a ruined Tower, than a prince's palace, yet being of the Archbishop of York's Regiment to remain in the Court they will beg to be Ushers rather than to leave it: And those Cardinal alias Called Dinates', were ever Enemies to Reformation. Ezra 4.9.  
II. The French Faction) Are a feminine society of superstitious wantoness, who to advance the honour of their own Diana, hold it pure devotion to keep her active, though by blood they would awake her that cannot live, when they Dig-by the Altars of their often sacrificed Sucklings, they may behold a fit object to stay their hands from such Goring of their own flesh, least piercing to the marrow it prove martall to the grand ladies their commanders, & this faction of Zaraphath, that is, France did always strive to keep the people of God in bondage. Obaliah ver. 20.  
III. The Spanish Faction) Are a Newtroll Sect who regard neither God nor man, Religion nor Law, King, nor people, The gold and the Jewels of a Crown are to them no more valued than a stone Crucifix, or the badge of a Spanish Pensioner, Cottington of whose Regiment these are, hath by many a feigned Arand-dealt too false with England, to deceive us of our best treasure, whilst we embracing Bristol stones, hazard the loss of our best diadems. Of this Sect are the Faction of S … ad, that is, Spain, who ever rejoiced to tyrannize over the Church of God. Obad. ver. 20.  
FOUR Adamites? have all things common, and hold it a paradise to live so because their discipline allows both Sects to Court naked, in which they bulsh no more than Adam at his first Creation, Gen 2.5. This discipline a natine Germine first learned in Holland and since being in England, taught it to the Cavalry of his Regiment.  
V Bishops) Are a doubtful brotherhood of Prelates, who Perseus the sides of our Saviour's Members, and would from Peterborow a succession to sit in pilate's Judgement Hall, to pass the sentence against the Son of God, for whose sake Peter suffered death, and these are of the Bishop of London-Derries Regiment. These Bishlomites, alias Bishops, do still labour to keep us under the Bond-age of their cruel slavery.  
VI jesuites) Like their Father Esau, rejoice to spill their brethren's blood, for their greasy Cook to make sauses with, to relish their unsatiate pallets, and where they reign in their Caps and Rochets starve the people's souls, by keeping from them that heavenly food, which by divine influence is only able to make them live. Sir john Winter their Colonel would make us believe that they are jesuites of jeshui, corrupting the Scriptures to make it speak of such a family, Num. 26.44. In the last Translation only, but are rather of jeush, the wicked offspring of Esau.  
VII. Malignant's) Are a malicious brood of an old Major's Varlets, who take more care to Cripse their own periwigs, then to make the Church Glorious. It may seem strange that the Malignity of the Planets should produce such effects by Rupert their General, and yet we may read of such flowers even among the Violets, which have buddeded in this famous City. These Melzerants, Malignants, out of envy to God's people, can willingly allow them nothing but bread and water to sustain life, Dan. 1.16.  
VIII. Priest's) Are a sort of small Comets, whose lustre is derived from other Stars, drinking sack with Bacchus under the influence of the moon and Venus, without which their dull ingenuity cannot appear visible in any Horizon. These are of overton's Regiment, the drunken Person, and though they wear the Golden feathers of of Finches, and catter like Magpies, yet are no more to be valued then the little Wren.  
IX. Arminians) Srive to rob the Protestant Church of all her glory, Featly to deck their own garden with popish flowers, which (notwithstanding) all that Dupper their Colonel, and they can do, bears nothing but Ferne and Grosse stubble, which they will fly to Armenia with, rather than let it be rooted put and taken away. Esa. 31.15.  
X. Italians) Are the professed Papists, who under Inchequeen, seek to crowd out the Protestant Religion, that the Italian Sumpter, their Mother may Usher in: and so Cozen us of our Religion, as Pocklington would have done of our Sabbath: 2 Chron. 24.7.  
XI. Shelomethites) hold swearing but a compliment; and blasphemy a badge of Honour, and so Hasting their own ruin; Hurry their Lieutenant General Wilmot to destruction, which is always nigh at hand to take hold of the blasphemous sons of Shelomith, Levit. 24.11.  
XII. Chiliasts) Imagine Christ's Kingdom here on earth to estate them in all kinds of delicate pleasures; which though not now, yet in time to come, Greenevill and his Regiment hope to enjoy a thousand years. But this Icy path is a deluge only frozen by the Harry mother of a Winter, which in passing over will melt and swallow up the passengers into her bowels, Euseb. l. 3. c. 39  
XIII. Clement's) Are persuaded that after death they may repent, in the world to come, and it is soon enough to seek God's mercy, which makes the bloody resolutions of Only and his murdering Regiment, not to pass By-worne conceived: and venture on as desperate attempts, as Luntsford himself, or the bloody Lord Breton, Clem. Strom. l. 2.  
XIV. Simon Maguses) Teach their Disciples, as Maurice doth his Soldiers, not only to adore their own picture, and wear it in their bosoms, but sacrifice their strength for the honour of their Helenaes', who like Iermin Frowes, follow the camp, as our Gallants do their Confessors, Euseb. l. 2. c. 14.  
XV. Achaians) Affirm, that when the body dies the soul perisheth, and both shall be renewed again at the day of Judgement: which doctrine is some thing like that which possesseth the broken Citizens, under the marquis which will both meet in one centre of a vast nothing: for that condition in which the soul is stated (which being immortal, cannot die) shall be increased, but never changed. Origen. come func. in chron. l. 6.  
XVI. Minanders') Like Harry Iermin their Lord Lieutenant, Believe that the World was created by Angels, and that their Patron, and divine Minander is able to bless both their painting boxes at home, and their Arms in the camp, to make the one to preserve their youth; and the other their life and by a confection of their prurging rhubarb: commpounded with Spanish Flies and Court Junctos; they shall neur be in fear of death, Euseb. l. 3. c. 26.  
XVII. Ebonites) Like Glenhams Northern ignoramusses: Deny the divinity of Christ, and say, that he was only begotten between joseph and Mary, and therefore think it best to fill their Gorges with the world's rarities, and desperately submit their resolutions to the seeming excellency of that froth, which may increase but never can remove their misery.  
XVIII. Corinthusses) Like Baggot and his Lichfield Garrison, believe that the Subjects of Christ's Kingdom should eat and drink and marry, and keep holy days, and offer Sacrifices and live under the Prelates oath, etc. These road so fast on Rouen their Popish Nag, that by reason of a sudden stop, they swore themselves into a protestation, and destroyed themselves with their own Canons, and would yet destroy their own Church, to erect new Altars and Conclaves for their own resting to play the secret Gluttons in Euseb. l. 3. c. 18.  
XIX. Nicholaitans) Live promiscuously, like beasts, no man having his own proper wife, but using any women at their pleasure, these are not only plunderers of men's estates, but Robbers of their very skins and bones, as the Rapes by Colonel ●unsfords quarters committed, can testify.  
XX. Martions) Believe that there are two gods, one the Author of all good, the other of all evil things, which Sect Palicarpus in his time called, the first born of the Devil, and in these days some of Sir john Digbyes Regiment have drunk healths to the Devil, and (as I am informed by M. Alum a Divine, which was an ear witness: others have cast lots, when they have found their sores mortal, for the disposing of places in Hell and have proceeded therein to Election, Sympson c. p. 417.  
XXI. Encratica) Have a great respect to observe the traditions of men, but blaspheme Scriptures, as their predecessor did Paul's Ep. These will adore the Book of Common prayer, and act their part of a play or profane Theatre with great devotirn, but as they did at Redding, and other places) threw the Bibles into the fire and burn them to ashes. One of them when a report was made of a defeat given by the Enemy to a party of our forces in the North, one said in my own hearing, Mosly by name (as I am justify upon oath) Where is your jesus to help you now? as if in believing the Scriptures, we had trusted in that Word which cannot save us. Euseb. l. 4. c. 18.  
XXII. Valentinians) sometimes called Gnostici, at tribute every thing to the Fates: as if there were so many masculine and feminine gods, as Davenant their Commander and the Poets have feigned. A branch of which heresy spreads in the adoration of Patrick, S. Taffy, Valentine etc. By a Cross, a Leek, a Favour, etc. August index heresies.  
XXIII. Theodotians) Deny Christ to be God: of whom a sect of Welsh Cavalires under Colonel Gerhard have learned to call upon the Virgin Mary to command her Son to help them: and attribute more virtue to her milk then to his blood, which they daily profane by bloody oaths and execrations: Symps. ch. p. 420.  
XXIV. Samseis) Are a sort of Neuterals, under Major General Tillier, that are Hurri-ed up and down with every blast of wind, that will use the bed for daily devotions, the Parliament for Privilege; or the Court for Prerogative; England for riches, or Holland for security, and swear and do any thing; cost it never so Dear; to stand and remain in favour. Coment. func. in Chron.  
XXV. Samosetence) under the Lord Hopton, Believe that it was only Christ's valour and wisdom; which obtained him so great a report in the World: And therefore hold it their chiefest wisdom to strive each to precede each others in some valour, plots or projects: to beget an applause of those the fight for. who by their Conjuring and Sophistry, have persuaded some to (incredible) opinions of their own glory: Symps. c. p. 244.  
XXVI. Manicheans) Do utterly reject the Old Testament, ascribing not sin to the free will of man, and his voluntary defection from the estate of his first creation: but to necessity, because man's body was made of the substance of the Prince of darkness, which rocks the young Cavaliers of Colonel goring new regiment, into a pleasing slumber of security in vice: Symps. c. p. 244.  
XXVII. Apollinaries) Say that Christ in the dispensation of his Incarnation, assumed the body only and not the soul of a man because his divinity supplied the place of his soul: And one stream of such a fountain in another case runs over all the Cavallies, under General Forth, who would traduce us to believe that the body of the two Houses of Parliament have no other vital whereby to live; then the King's presence; denying that power by which his Majeste hath put an influence to every motion acted by that grand body; who enjoy both the life of the Law; Prerogatice and Privilege: besides his Majesties own Aact to them above all former Parliaments: Ruffem. l. 2.20.  
XXVIII. Donatists') under Montrosse, Believe that neither the Word of God, nor any under the cope of Heaven; can make so perfect a Church, as their own Discipline; as if it was impossible for Rome to err? Whose Ministers are as vicious as profane heathen. And no calling in the World live in great impiety, as M. Carpenter one of their own Converts hath confessed since his Recantation, Symp. c. p. 430  
XXIX. Seleucians') Are of opinion that the Mass whereof God made the Elements was coeternal with him: and that Christ in his Ascension unclothed himself of the flesh of man, and left it in the Globe of the Sun. Sir Kelemne Digd-by this Gulf, and drained in some of this puddle to water his intellect; to transmould Spencer beyond his stanzees. And I would have all such Students to wait for pay, till they attain the Philosopher's Stone; for what is any man the better to study that which is only the shadow of another fancies: Symp. p. 431.  
XXX. Pelagians) Do affirm that men naturally are able to fulfil the Law of God, and that the posterity of Adam are sinners by imitation: and not by propagation; and that the holy Fathers rather confessed their sins of humility then of necessity: Were not the Cavalieres under Hasting, benumbed with this dulness and sensuality; they would not dare to commit such horrible wickedness: Aug. consil.  
XXXI. Abelarders) As their patron Abelardes, taught that the holy spirit was the soul of the World, and that he was not of the substance of the Father, so his Successors at this day Smith the Marshal and his Catchpoles do no less despite the spirit of God, making a jeering, and an object of laughter, at every work and operation thereof, who not only making a mock of spiritual prayer and dispensation of God's Word, have greatly despised the Spirit of Grace; but have beaten and misused Godly Ministers; bade them tell by the spirit, who it was that struck them: Symps c. p. 440.  
XXXII. Peterenins) Other ways called Gasarius, affirm, with Canterbury that married people are not in the estate of grace; and cannot be saved. Indeed our Metropolitan Prelates durst never marry; and there are not many only common men, but great ones too amongst the Commanders, who though they be as great Whoremasters as Suckling ever was, yet hold it a damnable sin to marry: Symps. c. p. 441.  
XXXIII. Patricellins) At Oxford under Sir Arthur Ashton, Think they have no need of spiritual prayer, and fasting; hearing God's Word, Reading and such other works of piety, whereby increase of grace is obtained, and do therefore hate, deride, and scorn, all those who endeavour to live godly: against whom for this very cause they are now in arms against them: Symp. c. p. 441.  
XXXIIII. Are Shipmoney Mongers, that hold it lawful for Princes to pole the very Hides of their Subjects, and that Kings have a propriety in the people's Estates, to make use thereof at their pleasures, and of this Sect are the Malignant Judges chief in the cause.  
XXXV. And the Irish Rebels, which hold it lawful to cut the throat of, and murder all the Protestants in England Scotland and Ireland, and that it is a meritorious work so to do, and for that purpose risen in Ireland, and did there begin under Oneal the chief of them, and have since for that purpose come into and remain in England.  
XXXVI. The last are a sort of she Cavaliers about the City, that Drink, Roar, and Swear, as lustily as any, in the Camp, and outbrave a malignant Report, or cause, against all truth, especially when their tongues have been well whittled at the Tavarne or Alehouse.  
WHy then should we (who lay claim to the true Protestant Religion) long to be at peace with such as these; and sucmit to what discipline they will give us; who mind Whoring, Sswearing, Idolatry, Drunkeunesse, blasphemy, and all manner of vice, and prefer it before any thing that is truly good.  Tertul: lib. de spectac titl de theatro. Libero et veneri convenit, Duo ista Daemonia conspirata et coniurata intersesunt. Bacchus and Venus agree and go together These are two foul Fiends which conspire and are cojured together: for the destruction of man kind.
