ROMBUS The Moderator: OR, THE KING Restored.  
From whence follows the Arraignment of seven incomparable Malefactors: with their faults, Confessions, and Astraeas' severe Sentence, Rombus his qualifications: The Prisoners reprieves, and several PUNISHMENTS.  
A certain strange Accidental, alias, his Excellenscey begeting, and a presage of his Fortune, with other remarkable PASSAGES.  

What Soul could once imagine that these Dons  
Wise props of State, should prove such Nebulons,  
As force Astraea from her glistering Throne,  
And Heavens diviner Joys, to wait upon  
Their mortal crimes; Rombus; we all know wept  
Long since, for Sidneys death, and thence has kept  
So sure a Guard, about his drowsy eyes  
As none durst ever wake him, till our cries  
And Royull CHARLES: whose word bars all denial  
Unlocked his Golden slumbers for this Trial.  
Reader, first dress thine ears; then stretch them wide  
To hear Astraea judge: and Rombus chide.   
Printed in the Year. 1648.   

ROMBUS THE MODERATOR, OR, The King restored.  
BY your leave my Masters, I had a Mother too, as well as the proudest of You. What's here, the Counter-scuffle? Men at Tennis with the Cakes, Cream and Custards of the Kingdom? Are ye all mad? Hold your hands— or by this— I shall— shall grow angry in earnest, and then: whsrein lies all our undo; become indifferent for ever, whither you turn again to your five Senses, or go to Bealam for good and all: I say again, leave your quarrelling about fiddle-fadles, Trifles of little value. For what's the fillipping down of two or three Kingdoms, or so; and look at me. Rombus himself presents his grave presence for Moderator, and proffers to make ye all happy: but than ye must be ruled; leave your sooling at at blind man's buff, and make some honest use of your own eyes. Be judges yourselves, Is it fair play, think you, that some should run away with all the wit, and others with the money; while I that am Crier of this Court, that wears better  than a Burgess, and constantly shift a shirt once a fortnight, must stand idle, without the least particle of a share, & gaping with my finger in my mouth, like a Cornish Chough, which marking Mr. Alderman's Ape, my Lord Mayor's Babcon, and her Ladyship's Monkey; how they look, and act like men, and yet sees plainly they are none: he wonders, 
The Faction.  who the Devil made them such pretty mumping Counterfeits. Well, 'tis decreed this once, that the Wits shall be pardoned their engrossing, but the Money-masters must fine for it.— Room for the illustrious Lady, Divine Astraea— A chair for Mr. Rombus, Withdraw the Prisoners into the next Room— What lifting up of hands is here?— Ye shall have justice better than ever Martin did his Whore; for when he casts her off she never gets of him due conduct money, to return her either to honesty, her health, or hope of ever being good again; but Ye shall be provided for— All but William Lenthall depart; and Guard, present them single, as you hear them called.  
Rombus prepares to speak  
Silence in the Court, Tace, tace.  
Let me use the faculties of my long silent Tongue, first to thee the late Speaker— Lent all, Lay down thy Bags, leave Lucifer to guard thy Accumulations of Gold, and travel about thy silver mountains: but do thou answer me, Rombus calls thee to account, and bids thee Lenthall to speak on, thou Captain of the Tribe of Dan, 
Rombus speaks.  speak on,— not as formerly for thy Brethren, but not for thyself— so— Thus you that would never extend favour, desire it— Come hither Fellow— without these tremble— tell me— from what tap of low-prized drink did you draw these high conceits— To make yourself in a trice (as a man may say) as rich as Crassus— as powerful to do mischief as a Tribune of the People: and swear to sit no longer in that unfortunate Chair than while you may be allowed a King for your Cushion: you are indicted of Treason and Extortion: you hired the Soldiers to cut the Citizen's throats, for Wine and Money: you are an Atheist: and lastly a principal Contriver with those Grandees, Beelzebub and Cromwell, about the King's Enchantment— Is this all?— You see Mr, Lenthal we have heard you with the patience and temperance of Philosophers,— and you say in general, that a necessity was laid upon you, you must needs use the benefit of time: And then the safest and shortest cut to wealth, in your opinion, was by the way of several Offices, and taking Bribes: this with the rest must be considered of, Jury confer your notes, 'tis past ten, I fear the Prisoner faints, he wants his breakfast: guard him to Hell, his Soul I know is there already; you'll find (my Friends) whole Herds of Presbyterian cattles grazing there; let one of those beasts be sacrificed to the appetite of this Cannibal, your Independants are hungry Fellows, and love that flesh better than a Banquet.  

Henery Martin, hold up thy hand.  
In the name of our Sovereign Lord the King. 
Martin Arraigned.  Thou Henery Martin art charged to have forsaken the Christian Faith: for like an arrant Pagan, thou hast committed Idolatry with two of Homer's Gods, Bacchus, and Venus: Thou hast robbed the Orchard of Hesperides, and tempted Chastity with Golden-Apples: Thou carest not a Nutshell for the choicest Beauties, after thou hast deflowered them. Item. That the cracked Virginities which thou hast taken for current, and so paid for, till they fell in pieces under thy use, are numberless.— That all those Mobees thou seest there, sit weeping in dust and ashes, with dishevelled hair, wry mouths, and snotty noses: were lately fifteen honest Matrons, Wives, young and beautiful, and of a sweet reports, but now the Trophies of thy Perjury: 'tis affirmed upon Oath and Evidence sufficient, that these stiff Chastities could never be foiled, till thou struck up their heels; nor tamed by any charm, till thy fraud mingled with some force, laid salt upon their tails, and powdered them in so unfortunate a season, that they have stunk ever since. Item. That having sold those rotten Purchases thy corrupt Father left thee, thou hast conspired against thy Sovereign Lord, and seized the Royal Inheritance of Him and his Children, to the use of thee, and thy Baggages.— Make answer— jury, observe him— Well Sir. You cry guilty too, 
His Submission & Apology.  yet this in effect is your desire, that you may be looked upon, as a bold free Member, brim full of Impudence, but not a drop of flattery for any but women: Therefore no Courtier, no hope to thrive that way: Besides, you plead that Mother Shipton, being your great Granam by the Father's side, you could not choose sometimes but consult with her Prophecies, and then for kindred's sake, do something for Anarchy, which she wished well to; lest say you, that reverend Witch (being so near to me in blood) might have failed me in her Predictions, and so have tainted the whole Family with the loss of her own reputation: As for the King, it seems you cannot love him for two Reasons. First, because he takes himself for a better man than you are.  
And Secondly, by reason he did not hang your Father for cheating the Kingdom, from which cousenages, you complain, he derived so much wealth as you fear hath brought a judgement upon his name, and made you his Graceless Son fall into lewd courses— This Tub is without a bottom— His Breakfast he shall find in Hell, let him partake with Lentall.   

Cromwell hold up thy hand.  
I Rombus will not style thee as thy familiars do, 
Crumwels' Tried.  such as Aulicus, Elencticus, Pragmaticus, or the like, with the Title of Noll, or sometimes King Noll: These (although thou mayest be confident they love thee) yet value them not, for they are Dwarves in Epithets, and cannot reach thy height, but I shall give it thee. Thou Phlegon, Gorgon, Tetraegramaeton, great Patron against Mice and Emrauds; thou God of Ekron, hear thy mortal Charge: Thou Oliver stands Indicted for having distempeted the State, distracted the Church, and poisoned the wholesome constitutions of three flourishing Kingdoms. Item, Thou didst send the King to that isle in a Magical Whirlwind, and fixed him there till some power, above thine, shall finish his Enchantment, and hang thee up like another Absolom: Thou hast endeavoured to supplant thy General, towards whom thou art perfidious; that (in imitation of Julius Caesar, whose points thou arr not worthy to untruss) thou hast enslaved the Senate, and London City, that thyself might reign alone, and be perpetual Dictator: Thou conversest daily with Mackiavels; and for assurance that all this may be done, hast finally given thyself to the Devil.  
Guilty or not guilty— 'tis well— you know what follows. 
Crumwell yields and is confounded & tilent.  Confession,— but indeed Mr. Crumwel your Crimes are of such a haughty nature, so proud and popular, as would have quarrelled away the very veil that should pretend to hid them,— Consort him with his fellow States till the Court rises, let him eat porridge, Hell is within his jurisdiction, he cannot be unwelcome there, pitch him by Martin—   

Stephen Martial hold up thy hand. 
Martial Tried.   
You Stehpen are Indicted of Treason against Heaven and Earth: For you drive Religion before you for a Stalking-horse, and change your Opinion touching Church and Government, as we use to put Cows into fresh Pasture, only for increase of Milk: You are Seditious, Factious, and a Schismatic: You have taught the people to Rebel, expressly against that Text of Scripture that calls Rebellion like the sin of Witchcrast. Item. That having split your own hope of Heaven upon the Rock of wilful Perjury, you have likewise tempted his Majesty, by sundry Insinuations from little Learning, and less Honesty, to do the like, and so make a wrack of himself for ever: That the late Scotch Proposition, of dividing the Church from the Civil Magistrate; on whom, say they, it shall have no dependency: Whereby a greater Tyranny than Papal is ready to be Introduced; is an Egg of your laying, and only by you recommended to the Scots for hatching. Item. That when you went with the Commissioners for Scotland, you carried into that Country a strange Pipe with you; some affirm it Gold, others Silver; whose Music was so ravishing, as robbed many Ministers there of their wits; for at the sound thereof they are ready to dance naked, run through fire and water; protest against Parliaments, be of any Religion, and turn Turk, Inpependent, or what you please, only at your appointment; That you exceed the Scribes, and Pharises, not in Righteousness, but ambition, Covetousness, and damned Hypocrisy; that you are a Wolf in Sheep's clothing. Item. You were of the Counsel with those that sent his Majesty to the Isle: That you Preach Charity; but never practise it: And when they proffer you 4. pound for a raw Sermon of Repetitions, you are never contented with it. Memorandum, 
His Father a poor Watchman at Huntingdon: this is true. Marshals party Confession, and delatory Answer.  That you are not to be trusted by any man, for when a Collection was made, of fifty pound for an aged Indigent brother, by your entreaty, from several Churches, you detained more than forty pound of the Money, delivering to the distressed but sieve; and so cozened your own Father, who was the party;— Guilty— or not Guilty— In the Substance Guilty, but wronged in the Circumstances— The Witnesses shall clear it— Let his habitation be in Hell; and his Office to say Grace there.— Oliver will be proud of his Chaplain.   

Rainsborough hold up thy hand.  
You Rainsborough, stand Indicted of Felony and Treason; of Felony in divers parts of the Kingdom, 
Rainsborogh Indicted.  during the late War; wherein you were observed to play the part of a cruel Thief, and pick up your crumbs greedily. Item. Having taken upon you, like another Phaeton, to guide those Chariots of the Sea: our Navy: You first provoked Vantrumpe to fight, and then suffered him to beat you handsomely, you running away with severally of the Ships Royal: which were never baffled before: So that by thy Ignorance and fear, those Invincible Fortifications: and outworks of the Kingdom were in Election to have been taken or slighted: Item you were careful of nothing but the King's escape, under which pretence, and searching for Letters, you rifled all ships and passengers by your Ministers, that were as very thiefs as Caons';— Answerr to thy Charge: 
He yields.  Guilty— or not Guilty, The proofs indeed are pregnant, and thy faults manifests. Let him srolick in Hell with jesuit Martial and the rest: let their bellies swell with barley broth, till the husks break.—  
Haman— hold up thy hand. No age hath paralleled this prodigy: 
Haman accused.  since Judas Iscariot, that killed his Father, and got his Mother with child: other Subjects Act evils against the King being absent, yet in his presence they spoke him fair, but thou durst sleight him to his face: put bolts and bars upon his liberty: press him in rude language, (only Natural in such a Cerberus) to things distasteful and injurious; limit his walks and Recreations as thou art fancied to be pleased, or pettish, Letting him further know, that the changes of his Fortune are but the influences of thy smiles or frown: And lastly, thou hast laid profane and violent paws, upon his sacred Person—  
Speak— they all submit: 
He would feign implore mercy: but cannot speak. His Excellency brought trial.  he trembles every joint. Away with him too. The Infernal palace, let him not want Hell broth, Give it him scalding hot, and fire enough— string him next Rainsborough: A chain made up of such would be an excellent bracelet for the Devil.  
— A Guard for the grand Signeur— Thomas Fairfax:  son of Ferdinando Fairfax: not Ferd: the Emperor, nor any of the Archdukes, but a poor Irish Baron: and petty Lord in Yorkshire. Stand forth, and hear thy charge— Thou, Thomas, art accused of deeds darker than the Powder Plot; thy treasons are so hideous that children cry, and dogs fall a barking when they are but named, for thou hast shaken our Land like an Earthquake; Thou hast exiled our Peace, bound our Laws in chains, Robbed us of our Estates and Liberties; and dressed Religion in fools a Coat: Thou art joined in Wedlock with a Moabitish woman, as very a heathen as thyself, or the Babylonian Semiramis; by which pissekitching and Cromwell, thou art led by the nose: like Zimri; thou hast conspired against thy Master: Thou hast shut up thy Lord in a strait prison whom thou feedest with the bread of Affliction, and like a liberal Gentleman givest him his own tears for drink, while thou thyself shinest in the Title of his Excellency, and farest deliciously every day: In a word: thou and thy Cockatrice are to be forthwith excommunicate: for you are turned renegadoes, and you both have denied the faith;— Guilty or not Guilty? This is the very Answer of old Adam: My wife beguiled me, And the Devil, beguiled her. And so it seems, you made a shift to beguile one another to the end of the Chapter: but here is the first part of your punishment: That the King being returned to take possession of his own Garden, you are both to be thrown out of Paradise for ever: and this to be done immediately—   

Astraea rises.  
Astr. fair and softly goes fare— Master Rombus you have spoken well but unseasonably; the faculty of judging is ours. We came from Heaven on purpose, and therefore we proceed and say, That having duly weighed the offences of the heinous Malefactors, and pondered the proofs; which being Transparent, and Elegant in themselves, do still receive a further perspecuity and brightness from the prisoners own Confessions. We thus give Sentence.  
You Fairfax that coveted your Sovereign's Glory, shall ride like the Welsh Prince, 
Astraeas' judgement. The Prisoners condemned: and first his Excellency.  in the English Chronicles through London upon a jade with your face reversed. A paper Crown upon your loggerhead, and a Crier before you; that shall proclaim and say: This is he that would needs be honoured in despite of God and the King: you shall be thus led to the place of execution, and from thence thrown into another world: usque in Infernos: by extremest Torments; none of thy name shall ever be styled Nobilis: And thy wife shall be burnt for a Sorceress, as Joaene the rampant puzzle, was in France.  
Cromwell, alias Williams, shall die the same death, only with a little qualification of the pomp: his house shall be made a lakes; The best of his name shall be a Brewer of small Beer And the biggest of his vessels but a Kilderkin.  
Martin shall be hanged in chains, and alive for his presumption. And none suffered to bewail him, but kitchen queans, and hedge whores, such as make venery their profession, for to these only he hath been beneficial.  
Haman knows already the height of his own Gallows,  
Rainsborough shall be devoured by a Whale: in whose belly he shall live so long, and feed so much upon salt water and herrings, that in fine he shall lose his humanity, and be turned into a fish, called a Porpoise, or Sea-hogge.  
You Marshal shall think upon your predecessor: that false And Covetous Apostle Judas, with whose Example, you shall be so fare in love, that you shall do as he did, first hang yourself, and then drop into your own place.  
Last of all: You Lentall: shall be flayed, and have your skin nailed to the seat, where by virtue of a false Seal, you counterfeited the Chancellor: and took more than double fees, thy Carcase shall be buried in a quagmire, And this Inscrition upon a rotten Post adjacent.   

Lentalls Epipitaph.  

A Lawer: Briber, Speaker: Traitor. Mass  
Of Independent fraud: A Golden Ass  
All quarter here; wrapped up in one poor shirt  
Sic transit: Lentall; Glutted now with dirt.   
Finally, for thy sundry wrong judgements, and the reputation of thy pelf, thou shalt purchase for thyself the Fortune of Midas, and thy posterity shall challenge a propriety in Asses ears, which shall be their Crest for ever.  
These Principals are thus could out from the rest, for the special uses set down; And to suffer as Grandees: About two, or three hundred of the Inferior fry, their fellows are to be hanged up here, and there, in several places, to beautify the Nation, and make the hearts of Good men Glad.—  

Thus having smoothed perplexed England's snarls  
We mount to Heaven: and reinthroned CHARLES  
To his just height on Earth: where he shall sit  
A Terror to his Foes, that envy it  
Let Kings alone with Crowns, and Subjects move  
In their own Sphere: that's duty: prayers and Love.   
Aristaea vanishes.   

Rombus rises.  

Astraea gone: we Rombus next succeed  
In power to save, or make the Prisoners bleed,  
That done, we'll weep once more, like tender men  
For peerless Sydneyes' death: then sleep again.   
Now you generation of Vipers: Have ye not done finely? 
Rombus is angry, but pitiful.  think you to bring up your mother's children to this: What terrible Fellows were you but lately, when you looked all as furiously as Holofernes, before his head fell off, bigger than bears and bulls: And now to see how suddenly the case is altered, and all for fear forsooth of a little hanging.— Come hither ye snotty noses, leave your snivelling, And peg up your hearts, like Stephen Martial: Oliver: there, and the double Traitor Haman; who look all three, as if they were resolved to put Astraeas' Sentence in execution, and hang themselves in spite of pardons: the King has referred you entirely to my discretion, and whereof one of his predecessors hath had proof, to some time, especially in Hamsteed Gardens: Now I considering this to be a time rejoicing for his Majesty's restoring and your miseries, do thus moderate Astraeas' sentence, which in justice should have fall'n upon you to your own knowledge. 
His qualification with their several punishments.   
You shall live: because you submit, and are sorrowful; but you must do your penances; That's first, be sound scorched in the hand, All, but Martin: for he shall be burnt in another place: You Lentall shall build, at your own proper Cost and Charges, an Hospital as large as Suttons, and endow it with as fair revenues: It shall be a refuge for honest Cavaliers, lamed or undone in the late Service: You shall lose the rest of your substance, which shall be divided betwixt his Majesty and those high-suffering Spirits, that would never pay Composition money, though their Lands flew up and down like March dust, and the Devil took all: such I say, as would not yield an inch to those Rats in Corn, or Mice in Cheeses you Vermin parliament, one whole year ye shall plead for nothing, and during that time, be Trencher-scrapers to the new Society.  
You Martin shall likewise purchase an ample place, 
Harry Martin's penance.  with fit allowances, which you shall call The College of Relief, and discipline for the Sinner Martin and his poor Whores: in which yourself shall be chief Penetenciary; you shall fast three days in a Week for Mortification, and upon the other four; when you are permitted to eat some Scraps, six of thy she-Tygers shall be chosen out daily, who shall pinch you for an hour without mercy, and if you cry not out thrice, God save King Charles, your Posteriours shall be visited by the like number of outrageous old Women, whose hands shall be armed with Rods of Correction, and they shall be labour you by turns; after the manner of the Jews you shall be circumcised in the foreskin of your flesh, that while you are fore, you Viragoes may come upon you with their force, and prevail against you, as the two bold Patriarches Simeon and Levi did once against the Sichemites; in short, you shall be pared close, that is perfectly eunuched, and so be lodged nightly betwixt two handsome Girls, that you may remember your former Excesses, and sigh at your present incapacity— This to continue for a year—  
Rainsborow, you for the first half year shall serve as Swabber in one of the Whelps Royal, and there receive three hundred stripes weekly, with a salted Eel, for being such a Puppy, as to screw yourself into the disguise of a Vice-Admiral, considering, that if they hid a Fool never so much, he will make some shift to discover himself, as you have done sufficiently. The other six Months you shall be given to some honest Boatswain displaced perhaps for drinking the King's Health, he shall carry you about the Kingdom for the Term aforesaid, and show you for pence a piece— he shall call you a Seagull—  
You Haman shall likewise be granted to Captain Burleighs Widow, in part of miserable amends, to whose use you for the like time shall be dressed and discovered as a very strange thing, in all lineament and outward proportion, a man, but otherwise a monster as ever the jarring Element, when they were sick, angry, and in Physic, dropped out from their back door, amongst their most vile and tainted Excrements: the total of your Estate shall be shared by even and equal portions amongst the children of that Captain, whom an ignoble death by this malice, Indignified—  
Marshal, though but a threadbare Scholar, that is hardly a Latinist, you shall get pass for an old Grecian, and be allowed to beg at Whitehall gate, your Offences upon your Breast in Text Letters, but your recantantation in a small print, behind you, to signify that your sorrow in the opinion of many, is but worldly— that you took a wonderful delight in turning; and that Religion with you hath a long time gone arseward— your goods shall be distributed amongst poor Scholars, to buy Books and Sack, having loitred above three years for lack of employment, and are now grown lousy with drinking of Rotsie gut surnamed Six: your name shall no more be called Stephen but Simon, and Marshal be translated into Magus that Conjurer.  
You Oliver shall lay down your Assumpsit of Cromwell, and take up your old Fathers, Williams is your proper name, and so you must be called; and as your Designs were black, so shall your calling be, for you shall fulfil your year's penance in a Colt-pit, wherein you shall become an Anchorite, by day you shall dig incessantly, and at night call up your spirits, with whom you shall practise your Conjuration: but a vizard of proof shall be clapped upon you, least meeting with that combustible Fuel your nose should set it a fire, and so kindle as unquenchable a flame in the bowels of the Earth as you have done already upon her face and your own, you shall hue out her lodging in the quarry, you shall be clothed with your own skin, and your Diet shall be Garlic.  
And lastly Fairfax, because it was once in your sole power to have righted your wronged prince, quieted all Troubles, and established an honest greatness to yourself, all which you neglected; nay, refused being admonished: your name shall therefore no more be Tom, but Tony; and a Fool's cap with a button rampant shall always be your upper Garment and cognisance; you shall undergo the first part of Astraeas' sentence: and when you ride, in stead of a Diadem which you aimed at, you shall be garnished in the feathers of a Goose, which shall environ your most excellent Coxcomb; In the rest your penance shall follow on in the tract of your Predecessor, Lambert Simenell, first be showed in the stocks thrice a week; next you shall be made controller of the black Guard, or chief turnebroach: And lastly, to suit a little with the soaring of your high thoughts, you shall be one of his Majesty's Falconers till your year be out: which finished, and your estates disposed to the profit of the Malignant party, you shall be assembled together, to take upon you the faculty of fooling, as you term it, and be made players in spite of your teeth.  
You shall be called: 
The Mag●●●●os and Grandees turned Players.  the society of Goblins; you shall practise tumbling: picking of pockets, and plackets, with all the Science of Legerdemain: the play you shall be always presenting shall be famous, and entitled, The English Gipsy, and her damned Crew: which shall be capable of enlargement, for variety, but never lose the Tittle.  
Of this Company, you Fairfax shall be King: touching whose fortune first and last, Tradition renders it thus: In the carnal minute of thy parents quiet copulation, 
A strange chance.  and engendering thee, a horrible Tempest declared suddenly, which threatened the Room, and so affrighted thy father, that forgetting his wont method, and discreet leisure at such an Exercise, he hastened the work, and threw thee into thy mother's lap, with so violent an expedition, as she doubted then, lest thy tender brain, might be dashed against some mistaken vessel, and so cracked, which imparted with a Caldean, and his judgement required, he thus blest thy nativity, 
The Prediction of an ginger: not of the City Lillie: but a flower of the field.  That thou shouldst be coupled with a Serpent, who should poison thee not so much by a Corporal as an Animal Taint: that thou shouldst be martial, always inclining to Rebellion, and in that audaciously, bold: perhaps fortunate too, for a few years: but never in esteem, for valiant, wise, nor honest: that thou shouldst gather all the lustre of thy Tribe to thyself: and glitter for a time, but being suddenly quenched, thou shalt leave none to succeed thee in Honour: and the light of thy family shall with thyself be extinguished for ever: this is the true Reason though kept from thee, why thou art aspected so ghastly, and thy actions always without fear or wit.  
I say again: you Fairfax: or by your new and more significant name Tony: of this Company you shall be Rex, King of the vagabonds; Oliver shall be your malus genius, or evil Counsellor. Lentall, the Prologist, and Treasurer. Martin, the Humorist, or Mad Lover Martial, Annanias, or the White Devil. Rainsborough, the Intelligencer, or Scout. Hamon, the Doorkeeper. Madamoiseille Fairefax, the Gipsy, or Stigan Proserpina. And Chaloner, though exempt from public Trial, shall likewise pass upon his part, and play the Fool egregiously, Your Scene shall be the banks of Acheron; you shall Act in Hell, and be bound to fix your Stage there, from everlasting, to everlasting, world without end, Amen.   

WE have fulfilled our trust. I that was Servant to Queen Elisabeth, and Sir Philip Sidneys immortal Friend, have obeyed King Charles in this particular, be you the Gazers here his Subjects as dutiful— ye Mutineers of London, that dare fight against your King, but never for Him: You that give solemn thanks to a murdering party for killing your Brethren, and send them Money to increase the slaughter: You that deliver up your defensive Chains, that the Fetters of a true Bondage may manacle you and your children; and, being weary of your unworthy Lives, You that offer your throats to be cut, because ye will not see (which yourselves may easily prevent) the rifling of your Bags by Ruffians,— your fair Wives squeezed like Grapes, and yourselves cornuted to your own faces— You whose Eyes have observed this Miracle of your King's Deliverance— that it came from Heaven, and the dead, without your help— You that have seen the fall of these Miscreants; that have heard their trial, or shall hereafter read it; for I imagine, so famous an Occurrence, will hardly escape the Press. To all you Englishmen my quondam Countrymen, I speak to you.  

Behold the price of treason, fill your veins  
At length with loyal flames, for death and Hell  
Feed on a Rebel's heart, the high disdains  
Of Heaven and men are yours; Fools, now farewell,  
Let CHARLES reign King, bless him for your Reprieves.  
And Rombus patron of your forfeit Lives.   
FINI
