though all the world (besides themselves) will take
their Oaths they are the veriest Tyrants, Traytors, and bloudy
Persecutors, as ever tormented Christians: Mildmay thinks by
his Whimsies to battle out the Commons out of all; as they have
the King and his Posterity: Cromwel, though ready to drop into
his grave, or the Hangmans budget, still dreams of Crowns
and Scepters, Kingdoms, Nations, and People, how he may
more and more Tyrannize over them, and adde Affliction to
Affliction: Whitlock, Wylde, Steel, Cook, and the rest of those perfidious
Lawyers, how they may subborn the Laws, and wrest
Right Judgement from the Poor and Needy: Pride stands over
them all, with his Sword to see that the rest of the deadly
sins be kept to work their utmost spleen against the Servants of
the most High: Hewson, insteed of making them shooes, fits the
peoples Liberties to his own Last: and confidently goes on to
Cobble together, and new Vamp the State to his own Ends;
finching. Anarchy and Confusion together, till he brings All to a
second Chaos: Martin is busic at his Sodomy, as brisk as a cock-Sparrow:
the Committees wracking & gathering in the Livelyhoods
of poor Commons to maintain their excess and wordly
pomp, till the King and Clergy be murdered, his Children and
Nobility banished, and forced to beg their bread in a Forraign
Land.
Yet none of this must by any means be spoke of: A Crack
came forth this week for Gagging the Mouth of the Press, and
Suppressing those Pamphlets that tell Tales; they have done their
best to stop mouths of Ministers, and cannot they suffer the
Press to be at liberty! what must the Man in the Moon do now?
let them do their worst; my very Dogge farts at them; and for
my self, if they can fetch me down out of the Moon, I'le give
them leave to Sacrifice my Carkass; in the mean time, let them
not expect the least savour: I am resolved, and value the worst
of their torments no more then I do the wagging of my Doggs
tayle.
