The same Hand again, Against the present council of STATE'S bad Friends, John Canna, and his maintainers, the Contrivers of those very Licentious, Scandalous Books, called the Discoverer, Part the First, and Second.  JER. V. 26, 27, 28. 
For among my People are found wicked men, they lay wait as he that setteth snares, they set a trap, they catch men.  
As a Cage is full of Birds, so are their Houses full of deceit, therefore they are become great, and waxed rich.  
They are waxed fat, they shine, yea they overpass the deeds of the wicked, they judge not the cause. &c.  
LONDON, Printed in the year, MDCXLIX.   

REader, The Discoverer doth much desire that whosoever hath not seen the first part, inquire after it, &c. p. 2. in margin; and in the line, saith, We have already published something to undeceive the People, &c. and at this time shall make a further Discovery. Now I having in the Discoverer uncovered, vindicated L. C. Lilburn, M. Walwyn, &c. from the criminations of this Priest( and those( how great soever it maketh no matter to me) who did for covers, interpose this mans black coat betwixt themselves, and the Peoples ey●s) do desire you also to red that Vindication and say, Whether these men are not as like as one egg is to another, to those faithless Spies, who went to search, and Discover Canaan. Num. XIII. and brought an evil report of the Land, which( as faithful Joshua and Caleb brought word) flowed with Milk and Honey, and was conquerable by their Brethren, might be made by their courageous performances their own Possession, as the many good things proposed( by the Gentlemen so evilly spoken of) may be by our Parliament, &c.  
Further, Is it not a saucy boldness of this pedantic, this silius terrae, J. can( who was puffed up, even to Personating the council of State, in 1st part) to undertake to do( what?) no less than to Answer when the Parliament( if any one) is called upon; to undertake the Justification of their Censure, yea, to give the sense of the Commons of England assembled in Parliament( if we will believe him) touching such Particulars as their Wisdom thought fit to be silent of: Or, of which their Supreme Authority needed not to speak, viz. What was in the Book censured Destructive to the present Government; Wherein it tended to the raising of a New War, & c?  
And I would have returned words of correction touching his slanders on each Particular:( For, itis but to drop a little ink on this mans rising dust, and itis soon laid) but  
1. There's ever and anon R●f●rences to the first part of the Discov●rer for proof, vid. p. 4, 18, 29, 49, &c. and that's Disproved already in the Discoverer Uncovered.  
2. You will( no doubt) soon have the folly and baseness of the Discove●●rs here shown by Writings from the Gentlemen accused.  
3. Most of the scandals are cleanly, purely wiped off by clear matter in the preface to the Agreement of the People, and in the neat Answers to( the Successor of M ●s Gangraena) the book entitled Walwyns wiles.  
4. L. C. Lilburn hath in his Legal Fundamental Liberties of the People of England, p. 74. promised( as the Discoverer ●●lls me, who have not red it) to seal with his heart blood every line of the book( declared against.) &c.  

I Shall therefore chiefly deal with matters relating to the Discoverer Uncovered.  
And( 1) with that p. 19. Thompson stabbed one M. Haiden with a dagger, without any cause or provocation. But( you men of State) was it not a Provocation when Haiden would( and he came with company) seize upon such Papers as Thompson had at the Press, which might( as the wickedness of the times then were) occasion sufferance more than enough to Thompson, to the Printer, and to some others? And was not the stab( being in his arm, near his Shoulder) in the Opinion of himself,( who made no more of it, but would practise his Rogueries( some whereof see p. 12. of Discover or Uncovered) from Saturday to monday before he would have it dressed) as well as in the judgement of many others, a wound not dangerous, if in any time look't to, of easy cure? And did he not live about a month after this, ere death did give his heart the mortal stroke, Whereby, he, who oftener than once was like( and that justly) to be hanged( but escaped with burning in the hand) did now dy in his bed? For shane mention his death no more, it hastened upon the wheels of his own neglect, and calls to mind too much his ill-lead life.  
2. He will( p. 41. in margin) say something to the Author of the Discoverer Uncovered, who writes for his name LAPIS FRUCTIFERA. Its this, Note, there is one who stiles himself LAPIS( he saw onely with a sinister eye, with a right he might have seen FRUCTIFERA, dextrorsum posita) a ston, or rather a Block,( a special scholar, he translates properly. Speak 〈◇〉 out; Lapis, a BLOCK. How?— see you do so no more, you deserved a whipping for this. It was not so bad with you( though it was a fault great enough for one had red a Grammar) in p. 34. where irrefragabilis you turn un-gain-saying, Verbalia in bili●, accepta passive, being forgot) the Simplician( bona verba) undertakes( and performs it to thy shane) to Discover( commend him, legit ut clericus, itis Uncover) the Discoverer, but speaks never a word to the matter( 't were ill luck if not one word hit) nor understands it( how appears that?) For whereas the leveling Faction( dunghill terms) hath aspersed( as the Discoverer oft  told us, but never could prove) the Parliament, council of State,( and council of War, which we have nothing to do with) the Discoverer( wrong again. Spell it. U, N, UN-) denies the things laid to their charge( and he had good reason to do so, vid. the Discoverer Uncovered) Now( it should be And) instead of proving them( what them? the things the Undiscoverer denies? No sure, you would not have him prove Aspersions. That were a rare Task.) which he should have done,( he) undertakes the justification of them( them, comely lines, which the Discoverer made blots) The Block( ho then, we shall never have done, if he'l always be thus Cuckowing, as if he attended to some Block-house, or did serve onely to hue wood( an employment the beguiling Gibeonites were put to) since he lost his living by the Printing-Press) speaks a parcel of non-sense( Prithee, be not jealous, and blab, thou mayst ke●p thy faculty to thyself) but for their accusation he meddles not withal( it may be an Errata of the Compositer, for with at all. But then the Discoverer speaks contrary to himself, Its said in the lines above, that I undertake the Justification of them) Although he had not been as senseless as a ston( a brave piece of Non-sense. Sans controversy, he speaks it naturally, else he could never do it so kindly) he might have seen it was the main thing he had to do. Poor soul! how anger harh transported him, and he furles all? What a pitifully miserable bundle of loose confused matter was there?—! And is he otherwise when he flings the next ston? let's see him, p. 44.  
Lapis, itis like, thinks us so contemptible and mean bread, or such senseless stones( as himself) that we cannot decline TREASON, yet( he hath so mingled his words, that Yes stands like a Granting what was thought; not as Affirming the contrary) and could have found out sense too in his Book, of there had been any. It will be the best wit the Block hath, if he have the wit to conceal his Name. How the wretch is troubled that he cannot see Sense in Lapis his book. So before, the Block spake non-sense, And once more, p. 80. Lapis writes non-sense. Never was man distracted about Non-sense, till thi● Discoverer was. But, come thy ways hither, I am an English-man, tender-hearted, and prove to acts of mercy; that thou mayst not longer vex thyself thus shrewdly, Ile show you some sense in that Books words thou just now spakest, viz. That he who wrote the Epistle praefixt to the first part of the Discoverer, was, and is a contemptible, meanbred, decayed person( though he did assume the Title and Trust of the council OF STATE) being of contemptible birth( for so honourable a Place) of mean breeding, and wasted in Estate, Jack can by name( he calls L. C. Lilburn, Jack p. 60.) So that if one would express it cum Rebus( and elect a device for him) you know what small vessels will do it, and they may without dishonour be pendant for his sign. But the Counterfeiting THEIR Epistle, I dare freely say that men that have but one spark of Nobility in them, or that have the Grain of Gentlemen, will scorn to let it pass without condign reward.  
But to harken how these Discoverers decline Treason— We can &c.— sullen Schollers, they won't say their lesson: but turn M●sters, and( forsooth) would have me to conceal my Name( yet p. 80. tells of my looking like No-body it s for want of other discourse) A snivelling advice, for which I should hardly have forborn kicking the Discoverer, if he had dictated it to my face; yet wish him furnished with so much Greek and Hebrew, as to find out what LAPIS FRUCTIFERA might mean.  
But, observed you th'Application of this Marginal Note of the Discoverers to the line-reading? How loose it is? If his Pulpit exercises are stored with no closer applications, he'l hardly ere earn his bread by preaching. And if he depended not more on some of the council of State, than u in the margin, on u in the page., I am afraid he might beg, or not live in England better than in Amsterdam.  
3) page. 45. Hear what Lapis saith, This Sycophant hath invented wicked thoughts, which never entred their guiltless( what's the matter with him? Doth he red ●●●hout his Spectacles? Its g●ileless) souls. Poor hearts( toyis●●ion) las quentas en la mano, el Diablo on capillo. Yet with both ●y●s you may see the wickedly invented scurvy thoughts of these Discoverers, if you'l red the Discoverer Uncovered. Which thoughts their ungodlinesses would ●ain b●●● upon those innocent souls which this Popish p●overb no ways will stick to. Its applied ( apud Hispanes) to a special Sect of their Clergy: b●( as they say) Piensa el ladr●n, queen t●dos son de s●● c●ndicion.  
( 4) page. 49. Lapis moves like himself in p. 6. He repeats some words of the Discoverer[ viz. How they have been busy to raise Sedition and Mutiny amongst the Souldiers] and speaks never a wise word to it( to them he would say) But that the yong-man might not be discouraged, otherwise( here's some of that wherewith he stores his book, as if he made treasure of non-sense) we would ask him whether he were not enticed( an elegant word in this place) to step in between us and the Levellers, through reading the story how the ass took upon him to judge between the cuckoo, and the nightingale. Now of all others the ass might worse do it. What broad spinning here is? threads fit to be Dedicated to C. to make halters of. But first, Excellent Concealers, what did I repeat? How they &c. hold there. I repeated those words of the Discoverer, viz. They( the four Tower-Prisoners) have been busy to raise Sedition amongst the Souldiers, and shewed the invalidity of that cited to prove so much. The first quotation, being, not to be found, The second no whit concerning them, And the third ridiculous, as there you may red at large, And find somewhat more than NEVER a wise word: at which expression, if I had as much wit as the Discoverer, I could carp( like him, at by-matters, p. 4, 7, 10, 11, 24, &c. letting the main go free.) But these wise Cr●atures, would fain take me in( with them) to appear th'other Ass. Or like me to One that took upon him to judge between the cuckoo and the nightingale, i.e. as the Discoverers lay it down between them( the cuckoo) and the Levellers[ the nightingale] A Fable ex●reme new to me; and their Moral is fit to scoff themselves with. And it could hardly be avoided by them. For Prov. XXVI. 9. As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a Drunkard; so is a Parable in the mouth of Fools; that is, themselves will be pierced met with by it.  
Now, upon the sole provocation of( what's provocation enough to me) mine ingenuity, to co●●,( for, I would not witting have any line drop from my pen, b●●at should fall plumb to one of Truth; and be ayproved so, even when the curious shall appone most accurately the Level of Trueness) since the former uncovering the Discoverer, I am informed, that, though Amsterdam, Printed by John can, 1643. is in the Titl● page. of a book quoted by the Discoverer, p. 9. of first Part, yet the Book was Printed in England, without his knowledge. I therefore, upon insufficient( though likely) Ground charged it on him.  
Hitherto, of the Discoverer Uncovered, and to what said about it. Next, one word concerning their second part( and I have done for this time) its this; I think none will red farther in it( unless to confute it) after he hath red p. 12. where, with impudence sufficient for men, who would arrogate infallibility to their hooded fancies, irrefragibility to their easy argutationes, and authority to impose upon the judgement of the most judicious Reader: they thus superciliously affront him, The Reader shall find here in our Discoverer, so much clearness of Truth, force of Reason, and fullness of proof, as he will easily see their lies, unless he purposely shut his eyes, and choose rather to be deceived. He must therefore provide himself of credulity, and be sure to be obsequious, otherwise( there is no praevention) he's censured already. And to deal with them, is to have to do with men distempered, so extremely incensed, and exceedingly transported, as to say, We dare avouch it, and shall make it good, that there is not in the book one thing true, as they have set it down, p. 33. though there are these Truths of holy Scripture( for the last words) that, There is a reward for the Righteous; and that, There is a God that judgeth the earth, set down merely as the Confession which will be enforced from the World, when the People shall be comforted, and the Land enjoy her rest, after so many yeers of sorrow. Which hasten, o God, the Creator! Amen.   
The End.   

Note that in p. 13, or 15. of the Discoverer Uncovered, there's one line or two transposed.
