The Tyranny of Tyrannies.  
THese are to signify to all freeborn English men, That the new Turkish Tyrants, Cromwell and Ireton, at a council of War, have already privately condemned to death Sir WILLIAM WALLER and Major General BROWNE, Members of Parliament, free men of England, men that have faithfully fought the battles of their Country in order to their country's Peace, not their own Tyranny and Dominion over the people; One of them a sheriff of the City of London, in whose blood they will write their own victory, and the City's slavery: Neither of whom being under any Jurisdiction of Martial Law. Whereby other men may well foresee, this shall be a leading Precedent for many thousands more to follow. And this is done, they never having been heard, sent for, or any evidence produced against them. And it is resolved, their heads shall be cut off before Saturday next, to strike a terror into the whole Kingdom, that no man may oppose their Tyranny. Of which we thought good to give you notice, that all men may assist these condemned Gentlemen with their prayers; in whose veins the Religion, Laws and Liberties of this Kingdom lie bleeding, unless the whole Kingdom as one man rise up against these bloody Tyrants, and shake off their yoke before it be settled. Cromwell and Ireton have lately found out a new anabaptistical light or Principle to act these Tragedies upon the lives of innocent men: That though they have no proofs nor evidence, yet if they think in their consciences they are guilty, they may condemn them out of the testimony of their own private consciences.

GEN. 49. 5, 6.  
Simeon and Levi are brethren, instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. O my soul, come not thou into their secret: unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united; for in their anger they slew a man, & in their self-will they digged down a wall.
