The last farewell to the rebellious Crew of the Fifth MONARCHY-MEN  
NOw thou brave Renowned City of London, and Famous Heroical Citizens, whose late and Loyal Actions hath made thy Glory shine even to the Honour of the Kingdom, and a Mirror to the world, whereby future Generations will call thee blessed.  
So now most Grave, Worthy, and Prudent Senators, I cannot forbear but to declare and make known unto the world, the most inveterate spleen, and deadly poison which lieth in the hearts of some Ill-br●d, Tre●cherous, Tyrannical Phanatticks, who seek to make a breach in our True catholic and apostolic Religion, and root up the Foundation of our Fundamental Laws, both Spiritual and Temporal, to the ruin and Destruction both of King and Kingdom.  
And to bring on their devilish Design, these hannibal Caterpillars, as Fifth Monarchy-men, and Anabaptists, but in general, fanatics, for a long time did contri●e, abet●, and invent, the most horrid, treacherous, and barb●rous Insurection that ever was heard of since the Creation: For on the sixth of January these Rebells gathered to a head, and at twelve a clock at night m●de their enterprise at the Cathedral Church of St. Pauls, but having not th●ir assistance according to expectation, they were routed and dispersed, most part of them taken prisoners; but so audacious where these traytors in pursuit of their ambition, were not a whit dismiad at this their first ill success: but like wolves of undainted spirits made a second attempt, Ian. the ninth, and divided themselves into three parties, they were near upon the number of four hundred, where I shall d●cl●re their beginning and ending, with all their proce●dings in full and general.  
january the ninth the Seditious fifth Monarchy-men at six a clock in the morning broken forth in furious and public hostility, with a party from Bishopsgate, and another party from London-bridge, and very excellent well accoutred both for muskets, Blunderbusses, Carbines, and Halbirds, with buff-coats, and Helmets, both back and breast being thus completely Armed, they marched in Order, rank, and Fil●e down Canon-street, cleared the way as they went; they were lead by colonel Okey who was seen by a Gentleman tht knew him very well, so they came up Watling street and thorough Soper-lane into Cheapside, saying to some of their gang, make hast, make hast the day is our own: so being come into Cheapside they were met by 〈◇〉 Company of the Train Bands who encountered with them, and gave them the first Charge, and beat them into Woodstreet where the Rebels did sturdily ingrapple with them, and very stoutly maintained the passage for above a quarter of an hour, with bold, impudent and audacious spirits, fiercely shooting one at another, but then came one mayor Cox with another Company, and gave them a volley, by which as 'tis related four of the Rebels dropped, observe, these were but eight that maintained the passage, their main body lay nearer the lower end; but in this conflict there was a Gentleman in mayor Cox his Company that knew colonel Okey, and said, well colonel Okey we shall know you, where immediately upon the word speaking he was shot through the body, it is reported his name was Snow a Chandler living at Dowgate he was put in the Church for the present, after brought in a chair home; the Rebels that were killed were carried away upon mens shoulders, the residue fled up Cateaten street, where they had another party of their own met with them Armed with Firelocks and Holberds, and Coats of male on, and passed up Frogmorten-street, intending to take Leaden Hall for ●h●ir Refuge, but at the upper end of Bishopsgate street near the Standard in cornwall they had another bloody conflict, for there they met with another Company of the Train-bands, and about six or eight files of the Duke of Albermarles R●giment of foot, who had not the pati●nce to stand at distance with them above two volleys ▪ but furiously and valiantly ran in upon them, and knocked them down with the butt end of their muskets, yet the Rebells stood it out with such bold impudent spirits, that they repulc'd them again, and had them at a distance, then the Trained Bands Charged, and ordered and gave them another volley whereby five of the Traytors dropped, and one shot thorough the thigh, whom they would willingly have brought off but the valiant Citiz●ns and warlike Souldiers plied them so hard with powd●r and bullet that they were fain to leave him and quit the place, and ran down Leaden Hall and Gracious street, so they totally routed that party, none of the Train band men hurt, as we can h●ar of, but they clos●ly pursued them and ●ook three at that time and stripped them of their B●ff-coats and shining Helmets, and disposed of them to the Souldiers, and conveyed them to Newgate, and the rest of their scattering gang.  
Our most famous and ever renowned Lord Mayor with a company of the City horse, himself in his buff Coat, and his sword drawn in his hand, where he met with a party of those Seditious fellows and charged through them very valiantly, but did no great execution in regard of their Coats o● Male, yet he left them not off till he took some of them, and defeated all the rest; by which time the Middlesex Regiment and all the Oxilliaries were together in a ready posture, and the Trained bands stood in a public brave Hostility, which did show a great deal of Loyalty, and true Allegiance to their Prince, whereby they have got such a mark of honour, that will remain upon their posterities unto futune generations.  
The City Gates were all shut up, and no passing in nor out from seven a clock till ten, likewise all the Shop doors and windows were shut up and kept close all day long ▪ and the Trained bands wheeling and traversing up and down the streets, and making search over all the City both for Arms, Armer, and Traytors, which for Arms they found a considerable number, and in Bishopsgate-street in one house they found a whole Cart load of Armer, Helmets, and both back and breast. At Bishopsgate there was a Skirmish, and a Captain of the Militia slain, and one boy near Bedlam by a party seen to come from Moone-fields, but not long they had been there, but my good Lord Mayor came and saluted them with Powder and and bullet, and they stood against him with such audacious impudence, that even rebellion itself might stand amaz●d at it: yet nevertheless through the Heroical courage and brave behaviour of our prudent, famous and ever renowned Lord Mayor, these merciless and cruel tigers were soon dispersed and totally rounted, some fled, and some taken to the number of six.  
In Billiter-lane there came a party to one Gibbs his house a joiner and bad him come away, come away for the day is our own, this Gibs was amongst them, but he escaped and came home, which immediately the Trained bands searched for him, and took both him and his wife and some others in the house, and carried them to Newgate.  
About ten of the clock strong Guards were placed about White-hall, which being done, Prince James Duke of York mounted and prepared for the City, his Attendance was the Life guard to the number of seven hundred gallants substantial Horse two silver Trumpets, and twelve noble Gentlemen rid before him bare headed, the Duke of Richmond rid of the right hand of him, and the Duke of Albermarle rid on the left, the Duke of Buckingham and the Lord Fairfax rid n●xt after him, the earl of ●outhampton the earl of Norwitch, the Lord Herbert, and the Lord Gerrard, with the Earl of Coventry, five hundred Knights and Gentlemen besides, bravely Armed with Swo●d●, Pistols, and Carbines, who came in voluntary with their Loyal assistance if occasion had required.  
In Cheapside the Lord Mayor with a Troop of the City Horse saluted the Prince with all his Nobility; the Prince returned him thanks, and all the brave Citizens for their Loyal and faithful fidelity to their sovereign, and  told them he did much Congratulate to see how unanimously they did stand up both for their Laws and Lib rties King and Kingdom: The business being over, the Prince with all his Nobility and lifeguard departed and so returned back to Whitehall: The City Trained Band continued searching Phannatick parties: In the Afternoon there was a woman in Cheapside speaking most horrible and malicious speeches against his Majesty and people, for which high piece of impudence she was cruelly mauled with stones in th street by the Boyes. Their great and ancient Meetinghouse, the Bull and mouth at Aldersgate was searched and they found there a Chest of money which was laid up for a reserve to maintain their mischievous, horrid and detestable villainy; the people of the inn were likewise carried to Newgate: The unparallelled traitor and merciless Tyrant that murdered the Const●ble in Chizel street was taken amongst the rest of of these Seditious Rebels and carried to Newgate. There was likewise a Lady who thought to make her self a person of wisdom, like an imPudent fool spake treasonable words against King and people, was thrown into the Counter for her good manners also: The conclusion of the dayes business was thus ended, the Trained Bands bestirred themselves still in searching, and in George Alley in Shoo-lane was found in the house of Tho. Bayly, the late Kings Saddle and his sword with his name on it, with a great deal of his rich Tapestry Hangings, and himself secured in Dorset house: One Broughton an arch traitor and son to Broughton that was Clerk to the pretended High-Court of Iustice, he was secured in Overtons late lodging, and brought to Dorset house. Several other prisoners were secured in Legg-ally, Newstreet, White-friers, and other places to the number of twenty seven, as also one Bare-bones a prime instigator and four or five more in his house, and numourous more in other places, and Arms almost in every house, this being the Barbarest insurrection that ever happened in any Kings Government, and as it was the Greatest piece of impudence and grandest plot of treachery, lets leave them to the slash of the greatest stripes of punishments that due for the reward of such unparallelled, rebellious and notorious Traytors, that after ages may hear the story, and lay it as a pattern or sad spectacle before their eyes to take warning by: Let this satisfy to give the Kingdom content of this days business, for this is the whole Relation in general, So God preserve our gracious King from his enemies.
