workmen, who must effect; only many hands make quick worke, and
the more ayde wee have, the sooner wee shall set our State Empericks
packing; before the next Summer bee past, if things doe out suceede
according to what is now both promised and doubtlesse will be performed
for enthroning our Soveraigne, I shall then bee freed from this
weekely undertaking, and shall not neede to mention the word Traytor,
unlesse it bee to deterre others by the lewd example of these State-Imporsters.
But the Salnts would faine rid mee of my paines, before I have seene
the end of their ungodlynesse, for Juck Bradshaw is very Chollerick, and
vowes if hee had mee, hee would not let mee scape, I should bee sure of
State-Mercy, hee hath promised forty pounds to have mee bettayed, but
hee might as well have throwne feathers against the Winde, it is not an

What ignoble actions are thought on by such Gracelesse-Miscreants?
was ever the like heard? A Lord to say hee would bee a headsman?
Yes, and to his Soveraigne, The Lords Anoyated, by whose Power his
Honour was upheld; but it is no wonder the Westminster Senate is composed
of such Vagabonds, there is a whole knot of such Excrements of
Nobilitie; Moulgrave, Gray of Grooby, Pembroke, the veriest Foole
in the Pack) Salisbury, of all them Men not worth the naming but to
their Infamy.
The Westminster Traytors have set their Mint a going, and their new
Coyne begins to appeare amongst them, but that they thinke not sufficient,
that they may coyne what they please for themselves of the new
fort; they thirst still for more of the old, and are now knocking their
Rebell-joules together, how to advance a new Excise, by prohibiting
