A Prospective Glass For the Revolters at Sea, AND New Malignants at Land:  
Being a Letter sent from Sir Anthony Saintleger, an Attendant on the Prince, to a Person of quality in COLCHESTER. Whereby may be clearly discerned how the Prince doth intent to land the Seamen, and ship the land-men that have served the Parliament against the King, And now serve the KING against the Parliament.  PSAL. 46.3. 
Put not your trust in Princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

A Prospective-glass for the Revolters at SEA, and new Malignants at LAND.  
Thrice Noble Cousin,  
YOU cannot think how it joys my heart, that any of my Kin be so valorous; ere long you shall see your Father a Bishop, and that function as glorious as ever. As for those that cowardly left you, they will be as well hanged, as all the Independent Roundheads; For all that have borne Arms for this corrupt Parliament, must hang all: 
An ominous mistake.  and then I doubt not but to have our ancient Land as formerly, in whose hands soever it is. As for Hales, we have enough of him; speak the Roundheads fair, and be kind to them till we have all as we would, and then have at all, take notice of all that run from you.  
Had not the drunken Dutch, and cowardly French deceived us, we had relieved you long since, and then a fig for the Treaty; yet it hath taken well for us of any thing. A pox of the Scots, they have done us more hurt than good, they are crafty Rogues, but we will order them, if we get but England as we would. Many here turned cowards or fools, yet hanging on his Highness shamelessly. We want money, that is the thing; we know not how to trust the turncoat Mariners: But his Highness will never forget their forwardness to assist the Parliament at first, we will pay them at last. The rogues begin to grumble for want; I. P. is turned Sot, R. H. frenzy, N. C. coward. If we do not something speedily, or can land, and have some to join with us, all is lost. We can do no considerable service for the Castle: and if you hold out you are brave fellows; If that black Tom and Noll were dead, all were our own. We drink your triple healths every day, I doubt not but you do the like for us. Yesternight my Master said to me, here is to Sir Walrom Horsemande, 
Reader, take it as it is, th●gh this passage seems nonsense.  this or more, or either land or Officer to maintain it. My service to your three noble Personages with you, Lords or Dukes at the least: However we speed, our enemies are so disjointed, that they will never be knit again. Excuse my haste that am ever  
Your indulgent Uncle I am Anthony Saintleger. Downs, 15. July, 1648.  
Promise land or Offices, any thing for our design,   

A short Paraphrase upon the LETTER.  
actions of Deceit are always recompensed with Deceit in the end, and treachery to trust is ever rewarded with jealousy in trusting; deceitful works have deceitful wages, and he that thinks with Judas to multiply his pence by betraying his Master, shall find that when his accounts are audited, they will amount to an halter, as do clearly appear by the preceding letter, wherein you may perceive  
First, what their design is in point of Reformation, the expected Presbytery will be the quondam Episcopacy, witness these words, Ere long you shall see your father a Bishop, and that function as glorious as ever, and I doubt not but to have our ancient la●● as formerly, in whose hands soever it is. Hear this all ye pious Presbyters, and be ye admonished ye purchasers of Bishop's lands your moneys had been better employed at six in the hundred, and I believe you had better have given an hundred for six; for you must build what you h●ve pulled down, and pay dearly for ●our adjudged ●●●riledge.  
Second●● that ●ll Roundheads are Independents, and all 〈◊〉 h●ve b … 〈◊〉 for t●e Parliament, are Round heads, a … 〈…〉 all Roundheads must be hanged, for so saith the Letter: As for those that cowardly left you, they will be as well hanged as all the Independent Roundheads; for all that have born Arms for this corrupt Parliament, must hang all. Where we may note:  
Thirdly, the ominous placing their jocund Language: for in stead of saying they must all be hanged, their pen stumbled at the gallows, and left themselves there: for thus it runs, that all that have born Arms for the Parliament, must hang all, viz. those that have opposed them. If so, festin●t Deus.  
Fourthly, we see their design in courting their fresh allies made up of the Parliament party, thus, Speak the Roundheads fair, and be kind to them till you have all, and then have at all.  
Fifthly, see their tamperings with other nations to enslave us all: the scum of other Countries must come to help up England's interest, Had not the drunken Dutch and cowardly French deceived us, we had relieved you long since.  
Sixthly, their great game, and present advantages by a personal treaty, that is their Spring to catch Woodcocks withal, A fig for the Treaty, yet it bathe taken well for us of any thing.  
Seventhly, their zeal for their dear brethren the Scots, is discerned by their prayers for them, A pox of the Scots, they have done us more hurt than good, they are crafty Rogues, but we will order them if we get but England.  
Eightly the revolting Seamen begin to languish, Many here turn cowards, or fools, yet hang upon his Highness shamelessly.  
Ninthly, see their high opinion of the treacherous Seamen; we know not how to trust the Turncoate Mariners: but his Highness will never forget their forwardness to assist the Parliament at first, we will pay them at last: the Rogues begin to grumble for want.  
10. Their bravest spirits are dispirited, and their most Capital captivated. J. P. is turned sot, R. H. frenzy, N. C. coward. By these we presume is meant not the meanest.  
11. See their desperate condition for all their vapouring. If we do not something speedily, or can land and have some to join with us, all is lost. And for the better understanding of their present case, know that this letter was dated the 15. of July, 1648. since which you know in what coin they have been paid in Kent, upon their attempts of landing once and again.  
12. We see the remora of their present hopes; if that black Tom, and Noll were dead all was our own. Is't not pity that such Traitors should live that preserve the Kingdom (through God) from utter ruin, and that these should be hanged, keeping us all from the gallows?  
13. See their devotion, prayers & remembrance each of other at the throne of the Devil. We drink your triple healths every day, I doubt not but you do the like for us, etc.  
14. We see what was the morningstar of their expected day; Our enemies are so disjoined, they will never be knit again; our division is their greatest hope.  
By all which the revolted Seamen may see how they finke in their design, that Princes are liars, and that by sowing vanity, they are like to reap vexation; when they kept their trust, their trust kept them, their wages were moneys: and now words are their wages, and care their coin: They have ravelled themselves in their own ruin, which is most commonly the recompense of treachery; seldom thrives a Traitor, for his credit is cracked with all he trade's with, penury and misery concludes his days. When all the Traitors at Sea are diven on shore, and Traitors at Land are put a Shipboard, the Sea will be more calm, and the Land more quiet, the Wars concluded, and we shall be all friends.
