THE CITIES X commandments, commanded to be read in all Churches, by my L. Warner and the Common council. Estote Proditores. Sine Rex Sine Lex. I. THou shalt not worship any god save Oliver, Harry Martin, and Mr. Warner, a trinity in unity, and unity in trinity. II. Thou shalt not make any resistance against them, or either of them, or yield obedience to any power, not derived from them; neither shalt thou grave any Image except of Mr. Warner, mounted on his palfrey, with a branch of Holly on his head, and a tod of ivy at his tail; thou shalt not when thou beholdest thy King, either bow down to him, or worship him; for we of the City are zealous Animals, and will cause our masters at Westminster, to visit such unto the third and fourth Generation, of them that hate us for our base cowardice, and will not obey our Master's Ordinances. III. Thou shalt not take the name of my Lord Mayjor in vain, by calling him Pigwidgin sectary, or Coxscomb, for we of the Common counsel will not hold him guiltless, that taketh his name in vain. iv. Remember, that thou keep holy all our thanksgiving days, on which we feast the greedy Cormorants of Westminister, especially let that day, be celebrated, on which K. Tom, had a Dinner given him by us, to the expense of 500 l. on that day thou shalt do no manner of work, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, for we have entered that day into the calendar, and command it to be kept holy. V. Thou shalt honour no father, save the penniefathers at Westminister, nor no mother save the new Church, which we the Sectaries of the Common counsel have set up, so will we entreat our masters for thee, that thy days may be long in these sequestered Lands which they legally and justly have ceased on. VI. Thou shalt aid and assist us of the Common counsel, to imprison and murder all, that will not yield obedience, to the Decrees of our masters, at Westminster. VII. Thou shalt follow the example of thy Lord Major, and us of the Common counsel, and not refrain to commit adultery, with any well shaped woman. VIII. Thou shalt steal, or purloin anything, from those that are not Saints of our new model, but that under a pretence of justice, provided thou be invested with the Power of a Parliament man, a Common counsel man, or Committee man. Ix.. Thou shalt bear false witness against thy neighbour, upon all occasions, that we of the Common counsel, call him before us, provided he be rich and worthy the screwing, thou shalt follow our example, to squeeze all men, imprison some men, and spare no man. X. Thou shalt and art hereby authorized, if any warrant come to thee from us, bearing date from Westminster, to take from thy neighbour, his wife his house, his ox, or his ass, or anything that belongs unto him, all which our masters, are first to view and we to share the reversion. All these our commandments we require all the inhabitants of great Britain strictly to observe, and put in practice, and we of the Common counsel, will not be wanting, at all times to put you in mind of keeping the same. The City Lord's Prayer. our Fathers which are at Westminster hallowed be your names, for that you have brought us into perfect bondage, and Fgyptian slavery, your kingdom come, which can never be, so long as King CHARLES is possessed with life, or any of the royal Progeny, your wills are done on Earth, though you break his will that is in Heaven, give us this day our daily bread; for you have brought us to that pass, that without you, we can have nothing, and forgive us our trespasses, though we cannot forgive you, that have trespassed against us, and lead as not any more into such temptations, as for these seven years past you have done; now at length become honest and deliver us from those evils, that now hang over our heads, for yours is the kingdom, and the power, though you merit no glory, but we hope it will not last for ever and ever, Amen. The city's Creed. I Believe in Warner, the father of all foppery, maker of trouble, and Tumults, and in Col. Barkstead, his son by adoption, who was conceived of a dairy maid in long Sutton, borne at Winchester, brought up at Salisbury, suffered under the heavy cross of doing pennace, he descended into Oliver's favour, and rose the third day into Fairfax favour, and now sitteth at the right hand of the Sophies at Westminster, from wgence each day, he comes to hunt out the royal party, to judgement; I believe he will come to an jill end; as also all the communion of our new Saints, for that it is impossible for them, to gain the forgiveness of their sins, at the resurrection of the dead, or to enjoy life everlasting, Amen.
