Scotland hangs between Hawk and Buzzard, one day for the
King, and another day for Themselves; if our Juncto would
but hire them with the other 400000.1. they would betray and
fell this King as they did his Father; The Fate of Judas light
upon them all: 'Tis a question amongest the wise, Whether the
Scot hath not more subtilty then the Serpent?
Cromwel now writes himself WEE and US and hath already
put forth a Proclamation; and over it set OCROMWEL
as Charles Rex was formerly; but you shall suddenly
see his Glory turn'd to infamy, and his ambition to destruction;
for he is strongly besieged in Dublin, and cannot stir,
thought he would, that it is Conjectured he will quickly end
his Reign in shame.
King Charls is still at Saint Iermins, and hath received the
Sense of many Princes for his Restauration to his Right, and
that first they intend to forbid all Commerce and Trade with
the English: Now it begins to work; the City have brought
their Hoggs to a fair Market; Thanks Thimbls and Bodkins; a
Horn-plague bless their Worship brows: Yet his Majesty is
so like that Mirror of Kingly Vertues, his Royal FATHER,
that he is sending a Message to them to knock this into their
Loger-heads; and tell them, what their own folly and pefidiousness
hath brought them to, even the very scorn, derision,
and hissing of all the Nations of the World:but my kind Cozens
(if they have nothing hangs in their light) may learn this
Lesson from the Man in the Moon; That a Fool that from base
poverty is raised to great riches and prosperity, is of all men the most
forgetful, nay ungrateful to that Family that first raised him: But
I might have spar'd my labour, for Instruction to such doth but
augment their folly.
Therefore go on (good Cozzens) in your way,
That Land's most best, where Fools and Knaves do sway.
That worthy Lawyer Sir Robert Heath is disceased in France,
whose loss is much bemoaned in the Court.
None need fear death, save those that commit evil.
'Tis Sin that turns a Rebel to a Devil.
FINIS.
