Peace again in Sion, OR, HEAVEN APPEASED, man to God Reconciled, England and Scotland united.  
showing how the Sword was drawn, the battle was pitched, desolation and destruction threatened on both sides, but thanks be to God, the angel hath sheathed up his sword, the Parliament hath made us friends, and the Armies are quiter disbanded.  
With the manner of the Scots departure from New-Castle into Scotland.

Peace again in Sion, or heaven appeased.  
ARise thou( long since deceased) Prince of Orators, and let thy unparallelled eloquence a while assist me, that I may not want expression, to sound forth great Britaines happiness, by the reason of their late pacification.  
Doth not Don Phoebus shine more gloriously than heretofore! are not his uncontrowled steeds grown gentle, and yet triumphantly bear the burden of a Sun burnt Chariot, having Garlands on their heads, composed of victorious palm, which they do as it were tender to England and Scotland, both being conquerors, by a happy( at length concluded) peace; for joy of which, horned Phoebe scorns an obscure eclipse; but being accompanied( with her innumerous hand-maids) the stars, seems to inflame the sky, with a( heretofore never seen) translucent lustre.  
Dame Tellus upon the sudden is grown fruitful, being bedewed with celestial showers; the woods inspite of( approaching) Icy winter, seem to be clothed in their spring Garments, to encourage the transformed Philomel, that she would not be timorous of a second ravishing, but joyfully to carol forth her most delightful notes.  
What do mine eyes behold? me thinks Dame Flora hath newly crwoned the Fields again, usurping weeds are extirped, and in their places, spring up most sweet and Fragrant flowers, and all for joy that Mars exiled is from forth great Britaines borders.  
Neptune which bears the triple Mace, hath lately played the Barber, and shaved the curled Ocea●● pate, which now lo●kes smooth and gentle, like to the little charet or gliding spring, in which the chased Diana is not fearful for to bath herself.  
The Sea Nymphs upon the silent waves Caranto's dance, whose musician Orpheus is, being newly raised from his female grave.  
The distracted winds are all chained up, except gentle Zephyrus, who serves in stead of a Fan to cool those bodies, which by the warmth which Phoebus lends do sweaty seem, and onely for joy, that England with Scotland shakes hands again.  
Doth the Sun, moon, stars, Earth and Sea rejoice at our felicity? and shall our hearts have still their mourning Garments on? shall the woods be clad in their green Liveries, and shall we be covered with fable? in so doing wee show ourselves ingratefull and unworthy, to receive the least of benefits.  
But me thinks I hear some soul being hard oppressed with grief for the loss, either of a Father, Mother, Brother, sister, wife, or child occasioned by the contagious pestilence, which now is carried about, not onely London, but also in divers other places of England, upon the back of unpartial death.  
I speak to such a one to be joyful, but his answer is thus.  
How can I be glad, so long as the pestilence hath power to destroy my friends? if it had pleased God to have kept back the plague, I could have been contented to be joyful as well as any one.  
As if God should hire us to give him praise for the benefits, which he bestows upon us. That the pestilence is now amongst us is most certain, but what was the cause which brought it? was it not our sin? O surely yes, for God will not, nay( with reverence be it spoken) cannot afflict, except he bee provoked unto it by sin, and the wages of sin we all know is death.  
But yet wee see that in the midst of his judgement he sheweth mercy, for with the plague he hath sent a blessing, peace, which is of all terrestrial blessings the chief. A most joyful peace is concluded between England and Scotland. mark O man, whosoever thou art, which being vexed with grief a while cannot rejoice, in thy Saviour, thy deliverer, thy peace-maker; mark I say, what of late thy God hath don for thee, consider how that when two Parliaments were dissolved, yet was there a happy third called, which wisely to manage, God put it into the peoples heart to choose renowned, loyal and faithful worthies, to the terror of those which were bad, but joy to them which were not blotted nor stained with treachery: then was the pride of the Papists abated, nor were bad Priests affencted, but utterly disallowed of; the foul Cannons, and oath in the Synod are by this most happy Parliament damned, and the first framers of them in danger. Godly Priests are restored, Traytors executed. Blessed Union doth continue in both houses of Parliament. A triennial Parliament enacted: Ship ▪ money and patents put down, Universities reformed. Sabbaths better Sanctified, sporting upon those holy dayes, being quiter suppressed, Popish Ceremonies sentenced, persecuted Pastors recalled; no High Commission Court, or Star-chamber admitted. These and many more benefits, by the providence of God, and wisdom of the Parliament, have been conferred upon us, and shall one punishment eclipse the splendour of so many blessings? God forbid; wherefore let us sing unto the Lord a new song. Let us all with one accord both pray, and praise our God: pray him that the pestilence may cease, and praise him for the good, which he hath done for Israel; but especially for that of uniting England and Scotland together; again for joy of which, once more I say, let us triumph and rejoice, some one may ask the question, how he should triumph and rejoice?  
I answer, not by going to a tavern or an Ale-house, and be drunk there, or by following vain sports, to please the fancy: but by going to Church, the house of God, where He hath promised,( two or three being gathered in his name there,) to grant their requests. There let us gather ourselves together, as it is required of us, upon the seventh day of September now coming, by his Majesties proclamation, to hear Prayers, and preaching: so must we triumph and rejoice, singing psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, hallelujahs and hosannas to him, that sitteth upon the Throne, judging of the twelve Tribes of Israell; in him let us rejoice, in him let us be glad, in him let us triumph; for it is He and onely He, which can, and will preserve us, so as wee put our trust in him: To whom be all Glory, Honour, Might, Majesty, and Dominion, both now and for ever.   

The manner of the Scots departure from New-Castle into Scotland.  
THe general of the Scots made Proclamation, That every man should bring in their Bills of charge, what every soldier had run in arrearages, and every man bringing in their bills, were paid to the uttermost farthing: & further he gave Command, that none should wrong man, nor woman, nor Child, neither meddle nor make with any mans goods there marching away, but what they paid for, to the uttermost: and whosoever did offend; the general made the party that did offend, give double restitution.
