THE fanatics dissected.  
I.  
WHether the two Millions and odd sum of moneys borrowed by the late long Parliament will ever be repaid to the right owners thereof.  
II.  
Whether Lily the ginger by all his rules of Astrology can calculate the time when the same shall be repaied?  
III.  
Whether Lily ought to be trsted in this calculation, since he varies as much in his calculations of the fuccesses of the late perfidious King of Sweden, as in his impudent reports of young Richard (our small reigning late Protector?  
iv  
Whether Lily spoke not truth at unawares, when he in his Almanac said, about this time the King of Sweden should have some considerable loss, he now having lost his life?  
V  
Whether Lily will call him any longer the victorious King of Sweden; since he hath met with one which hand to hand hath overcome him?  
VI  
Whether the Kings of Poland and Denmark have not as much cause to rejoice at the Death of the King of Sweden, as we of the kingdom of England, of the death of that Devil (seeming Saint) Oliver.  
VII.  
Whether the solemn League and Covenant can be said to be performed in (its being barely new shown to the world) without Charles Stuart (eldest Son to the late King) be restored to the inheritance of the Crown, according to these words in the Covenant, (Viz.) The Honour and Happiness of the King's Majesty and his posterity?  
VIII.  
Whether if this be not performed, it can be said any other, but that the Covenant is a mere collusion to the people, and a sworn for-sworn Covenant?  
IX.  
Whether any of these Members of Parliament, (commonly called and known by the name of the ●UMP) ought to have any Vote in any successor Pa●liament, they all (according to the solemn League and Covenant) being guilty of most notorious perjury?  
X.  
Whether upon this new change DUN hath not good cause to be merry, his work (in all probability) being like to go forward a pace this next Spring?  
XI.  
Whether it be not Tichbourn and Iretons best policy to speak to  before hand to use them as kindly as they have done others, (that is, to show them no more mercy than they shown to the late King's Majesty, in (craving) and passing the unjust sentence of death against him?  
XII.  
Whether that saying in the Scripture, he that digs a pit for another, shall fall into it himself, be not sufficiently verified.  
XIII.  
Whether Tho. M●wcomb his speaking of the great prejudice of the reformed cause throughout Christendom (by the death of the King of Sweden, that perfidious Prince) mean not the Reformation of the (pretended) Good old Cause, by reason he and Oliver were so great Machivillians.  
XV.  
Whether T. and I. ars●●s makes nor buttons, or whether they may not be reputed to stand like quaking puddings?  
XVI.  
Whether T. and I. had not better have studied Honesty then so much Divinity, since they are become of (any or) no Religion at all?  
XVII.  
Whether they that were never true to any trust (as T. and I.) ought ever to be trusted again?  
XVIII.  
Whether Alderman Atkins his sitting in the Parliament House, may not properly be compared to a chip in a mess of pottage?  
XIX.  
Whether the Godfathers and Godmothers of Praise God Bare-bone, are not like most godfathers and godmothers, that is, to promise much and perform little, or whether they are not sufficiently deserving to be called neglective, in seeing and suffering him to be brought up in such Heretical opinions, that in all his actions he rather blasphemes than praises God?  
XX.  
Whether it may not be supposed, and finally concluded, that vain Sir Harry, prodigious Sir Arthur, purjured Oliver, (if alive) unchaste Harry, the cheating Lord Mounson, and the long wound Speaker, (my namesake in letters W. L.) with the rest of the RUMP, would none willingly go to the Pope for a dispensation of all their villainies?  
XXI.  
Whether honest men have not good cause to wish they would all go thither and never return, since they never bred any thing but disturbances in our State, and that the pope being the grand incendiary of those persons, to foment our distractions, he ought not to take his own children home to his own Church, and afterwards send them to Purgatory, there to repent at leisure for their villainies?  
XXII.  
Whether I. M. his ready and easy way to establish a Commonwealth without readmitting of Kingship (which Tho. Newcomb mentions in his advertisements and paraphrastical book of Thursday the 8th. instant) be not borrowed in copy from the States of Holland, or whether such a fool as the Author deserve not to be sent to Bridewell for pretending so much good to his Country and dare not show his name to his Libel?  
XXIII.  
Whether his new frame of a Commonwealth without readmitting of Kingship, together with that fool harrington's, ought not to be sent to terra incognita or, Sir Th. Moor Utopia, together with the Authors themselves to frame a free State there.  
XXIV.  
Whether any ingenious person can choose but laugh at these fools assertions and pretence of maintaining such a ridiculous thing as a free State, since in 12 years' time we have found by experience, the Nation never was more Quiet, then when governed by a single person?  
XXV.  
Whether Fleetwood and those Members of Parliament the RUMP, ought not to have blow coats given to each one of them laced with yellow lace as a Livery due and fit for their ambitious foolery?  
XXVI.  
Whether overton's fifth Monarchy be not quite extinct?  
XXVII.  
Whether the poor Prisoners can ever expect to have an Act for their release so long as Wil Lenthal be Speaker of any Parliament, he making it a point and Article of his Religion and faith, that rather than break his Brother Sir joh. by such a dissection, ten thousand souls should perish?  
XXVII.  
Whether Lenthal the Speaker (having let so many blood) ought not now to be let blood himself, for fear the superfluity of blood cause him to be more bloody, or that the 400 and odd thousand pounds he put in his pocket upon gentlemen's compositions for their estates at five pound a man, ought not to be borrowed of him, and go towards the payment of the public debts of the Nation?  
XXIX.  
Whether the next Parliament (now to be summoned) can properly be called a Free Parliament, if tied to restrictions or Qualifications?  
XXX.  
Whether Lily ought not to have notice of all these Quries, and go a Stargazing after they are all resolved, and then compile a new Almanac of truths for the year ensuing, lest if he judge before hand, he be as much erroneously mistaken as heretofore?
