By the Ordinance for sequestering Delinquents [1. April 1643.] it was declared that their Estates should go for maintenance of the Public affairs, and several Ordinances designed Bishops Lands for pay of 200000. l. public debt: Yet by this and the following Centuries thou shalt see how both Delinquents estates and Bishops Lands are by Members of Parliament shared amongst themselves, whilst the 200000 l. is unpaid, the public affairs supported by unsupportable taxes and that Dutch Devil Excise that insensibly devours the poor, and will impoverish the rich. These are they that with Hananiah; Break the wooden yoke from our necks, [28. Jeremiah] and put on one of Iron; free us from a little Ship-money paid thrice in an age, and impose as much at once for a Monthly Tax, quit us of the Monopolies of Tobacco, and set up excise on Bread and Beer. The first easeth the wanton rich man, and the latter grindeth the needy and poor. Yet these are thy Gods O London! these are the Idoll-Calves the People have set up and do worship; These be the Molec to whom ye Sacrifice sons and servants by Troops, Regiments and Armies, to maintain their Sovereignty, Rebellion and Profit. And that these and other their Actions may never be questioned, they His Majesty's Loyal and Obedient Subjects will always imprison their King; continue their Army; perpetuate their Parliament, and entail their Memberships (as the Priesthood on Levi) upon confiding Families, to furnish them with Votes, as Mr. Gilbert Gerard and his two sons, Brampton Guidon and his two sons; Sir Robert Harley and his two sons; Three Fines, 3 Ashes, 4 Stephens, 4 pelham's, 4 Epirotes, 4 Temples; it were endless to name the Father and the Son; Brother and brother that fills the House; they come in couples more than unclean Beasts to the Ark. 2 Vanes, 2 Puries, 2 Chaloners, 2 Bacons, 2 Pierponts, 2 Bonds, 2 Onslowes: 2 Lenthalls, etc. And that our ecclesiastics may comply with our Temporal Governors, the Houses abolish (as superstitious because Legal) the Convocation of learned Divines (regularly summoned by the Kings-Writ, and duly elected by the Clergy) and the House of Commons nominates an Assembly of Gifted Divines (indeed wicked Simons) that slander the godly O●ias [2 Mac. 4.] to out him of his Priest's place; so that at this day there is not one Assembly-man but is illegally thrust into another's Benefice, a Catalogue of whose names and preferments expect shortly, and with them a view of the Militia and common-councel-men of London, observing what Places, Offices and Salaries they have from the Houses of Parliament, and then thou wilt know the Reasons of their Votes and Actions in the City. Reader, I would have presented thee at once with the entire List of all the Names, Offices and Rewards of Parliament-men, but I could not steal so much time from my weekly employment, and am therefore necessitated to divide them into Centuries; the first thou hast, and shalt the other four, whereof the next beginneth with Cornelius Holland, and Sir H. Vane. Farewell. M. El.
