<HEAD>A Vindication of the Army, by way of re|crimination again&s;t the Lords &amp; Commons, &amp;c.</HEAD>
<P>THe name and title of Army and Souldier hath of late been as formidable and odious as Seque&s;trator, Excize, Committee, or Parliament-man. And the complaint of the Lords, Commons and City of London have cau&s;ed the greate&s;t part of this hate and rancour again&s;t the Army. I therefore challenge them not with &s;word, for they are mo&s;t of them errand cowards, but with my pen, and bid them &s;e|verally an&s;wer if they can.</P>
<P>And fir&s;t thou &ocirc; City, why and with what face can&s;t thou complain of me while I call for Ju&s;tice, and the &s;trict execution thereof, when as thou thy &s;elf fir&s;t made&s;t the loud cry to the Parliament for Ju&s;tice, and thereby mo&s;t unju&s;tly &s;hedde&s;t the blood of the innocent?</P>
<P N="2">2. Why and with what face complaine&s;t thou of the Army for exclu|ding &s;ome Members from the Parliament, who did&s;t never cea&s;e bawling at the Parliament doores for the ejection of the mo&s;t ancient and mo&s;t rightfull Members in Parliament?</P>
<P N="3">3. Why and with what face complaine&s;t thou of the Army for taking a&s;&s;e&s;&s;e and quartering upon you, who were the fir&s;t principall rai&s;er of this Army, and were ever well content that others &s;hould pay and give free quarter?</P>
<P N="4">4. Thou O City who ha&s;t rai&s;ed and fir&s;t ha&s;t maintained this Army to be as a rod or &s;word of God, why and with what face can&s;t thou deny them 40000. <ABBR>l.</ABBR> granted them, and much more by an Ordinance, when thou ha&s;t mo&s;t ambitiou&s;ly &s;ued, that thou mighte&s;t freely give many millions for the conquering the King, aboli&s;hing Religion, and &s;ubjecting the Lawes, Liberties, and properties of all the Subjects in England to an arbitrary power? Yea and when it was put into thy hands to have reme|died all, yet then for fear, fal&s;hood or trechery, thou for&s;ooke&s;t thy &s;elf, and betrayed&s;t the whole Kingdome.</P>
<P><HI>Thinke&s;t thou therefore</HI> (&ocirc; City) <HI>that judgest them which do &s;uch things and doe&s;t, the &s;ame that thou &s;halt e&s;cape the judgement of God?</HI> Rom. 2.3. No, heare what God hath &s;poken, <HI>The &s;poiler is come upon her even upon Babilon the great City,</HI> Revel. 18. <HI>and her mighty men are taken, for the Lord God of recompences &s;hall &s;urely requite,</HI> Jer. 51.5.6.</P>
<P><PB N="2" REF="5">
And ye Commons, why and with what face can ye complain of the Ar|my for their Remon&s;trance and Declarations tending to Ju&s;tice and pub|like good, when your &s;elves have publi&s;ht &s;uch gro&s;&s;e &s;landerous and im|pudent lies both in Declarations and Remon&s;trances, thereby to cheat the People, to the Kings de&s;truction, and the Kingdomes ruine?</P>
<P N="2">2. Why and with what face can ye complain of the Army for impri&s;o|ning &s;ome of your Members, in Royal and great hou&s;es, when your &s;elves have driven &s;o many thou&s;ands of Clergy and Laity out of their free|holds, and thru&s;t too many by thou&s;ands into noy&s;ome and clo&s;e pri&s;ons, to the lo&s;&s;e both of liberty and life, and yet never to this houre &s;hewing any cau&s;e why?</P>
<P N="3">3. Why and with what face complaine ye of the Army for excluding &s;ome of your Members from your hou&s;e? when ye your &s;elves a fir&s;t, &s;e|cond, and third time &s;ent up forged Bills for the utter ca&s;ting out of the Bi&s;hops from their mo&s;t ancient and mo&s;t ju&s;t &s;itting in the upper Hou&s;e, and at la&s;t by threats and menaces put upon the Lords, forced them to give their mo&s;t di&s;honourable and uncon&s;cionable a&s;&s;ent thereunto: Yea and did not this alone to the Members of the Lords Hou&s;e, but did as much or more even to your own, either by not admitting &s;uch though rightly e|lected, or by threats and force driving them away by 200. at a clap; which was the onely true cau&s;e of their &s;itting at Oxford.</P>
<P N="4">4. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army for breaking the Lawes and Priviledges of Kingdome and Parliament, when ye your &s;elves have been not only Authors and Actors, but Teachers and In&s;tructers of them by your examples to do the like to you, as you have done both to your Soveraigne Lord the King, and to your fellow Subjects?</P>
<P N="5">5. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army, for bani&s;hing all ill affected to them 10. miles from London for a moneth? when as your &s;elves have bani&s;ht all ill affected to you, 20. miles thence &s;ometimes for 2. at other times for 6. moneths; and that on no le&s;&s;e penalty then High Trea&s;on, and accordingly to be arraigned, tryed and executed as Traytors without mercy.</P>
<P N="6">6. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army, for committing your Members to cu&s;tody? when as your &s;elves the 15. June 1648. authori|zed any 3. of your Hou&s;e (though tho&s;e Colonels and clo&s;e friends to the Army,) to &s;eize impri&s;on and carry away Subjects free from Delinquency, to our Army lying then before Colche&s;ter.</P>
<P N="7">7. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army, for calling you corrupt fal&s;e trayterous Members? who 21. April. 1648. gave power to any 3. Committee-men in all the &s;everall Counties in England to &s;eque|&s;ter
<PB N="3" REF="5">and impri&s;on any whom the&s;e Committee-men &s;hould judge or deem to have &s;poken reproachfully again&s;t the proceedings of this Parliament.</P>
<P>I could be infinite in the inlarging your unju&s;t and unequall complaints again&s;t the Army, judging and condemning them for tho&s;e and the like things, wherein your &s;elves have been mo&s;t guilty: but I &s;hall end all in this kind with a word to the Gent. of the long Robe, Lawyers, as Mem|bers of your Hou&s;e.</P>
<P N="8">8. And why, and what face complain ye of the Army for de&s;iring 1. That the&s;cattred and unknowne Lawes of this Kingdome, may be wi&s;ely and carefully collected, and the be&s;t and fitte&s;t being culled out, to have them all printed and publi&s;ht in one volum or body? 2. That they may be tran&s;lated or put into our own Engli&s;h and known tongue, whereby e|very &s;ubject may be able to read, under&s;tand and know what he is to do, and what to e&s;chew, what may &s;ave and what may de&s;troy him; and that he may not be con&s;trained to give twenty &s;hillings or more for every &s;poonfull of compounded or &s;ophi&s;ticated hot-water which may perhaps poy&s;on him or his E&s;tate. 3. That the &s;ubject may not be compelled to trudge to four &s;tanding Marts or yearly Faires kept in We&s;tmin&s;ter Hall there to be forced to buy, and to be cheated in &s;uch pedling commodi|ties (to &s;ay no wor&s;e) as they might have better for le&s;&s;e money in their own Countreys.</P>
<P>I &s;ay why and with what faces complain you of the Army for this? when ye your &s;elves the&s;e eight yeares and upwards have not only been &s;ilent, but con&s;enting, voting, acting to the de&s;truction of all our ancient be&s;t Lawes: yet few or none can conceive to what end ye have done all this, except either for the advance of your own pre&s;ent ba&s;e gaine, or el&s;e here|by to comply with the Grandees and Parliament drivers, to keep them from the&s;e ju&s;t things which now the Army &s;o earne&s;tly doe de&s;ire,</P>
<P>Why and with what face complaine you of us, becau&s;e we being your &s;ervants would rule and govern you? when as you have been our ma&s;ters and teachers in the art, and accordingly under the pretence and name of Religion, Ju&s;tice and publike good, have ridd your Ma&s;ters the people of this Kingdome, not only out of their fat, but their fle&s;h, and almo&s;t off their leggs too: And why may not we, being &s;o many thou&s;ands, who have with our blood conquered all, rule and reap the &s;weet? as well as 3. or 400. of you have all the while injoyed the benefit of our travailes and hazards, dayly raking Offices, and heaping up riches, to the impoveri&s;h|ing the Kingdome.</P>
<P>And to you we may add, as to the whole people of this Land, that as well may we be their rulers as you, or any other &s;orts of the people, for
<PB N="4" REF="6">while they come to their ancient government, let them be a&s;&s;ured that they &s;hall be rid one while by one, another by another Faction, and ever by that which by turnes &s;hall get the power, till in a &s;hort time all will and mu&s;t fall into &s;uch confu&s;ion, that we can expect no other rule or go|verment but cutting of throats.</P>
<P>But if any &s;eriou&s;ly ask me, why may not this State come to be gover|ned by an Ari&s;tocracy as well as Venice, and &s;ome parts of lower Germa|ny? I mu&s;t an&s;wer, that the que&s;tion di&s;covers &s;o much ignorance in Po|liticall government, that it de&s;erves no an&s;wer, yet (in a word) who is &s;o ignorant that he knowes not, be&s;ides the un&s;peakable danger of new modelling a State, as of new altering the temper of an old crazy body, that in this the body naturall and civill agree, that that diet, exerci&s;e, phy&s;ick, government which pre&s;erves the one body, may and will de&s;troy the other, and that as Suits fit not every body, &s;o neither are the tempers and di&s;po&s;itions of all men taught and guided by the &s;ame rule and pow|er: <HI>England,</HI> within the&s;e 8. la&s;t yeares pa&s;t, hath payed deare for the learning her Latine tongue, as Delinquent, Malignant, Seque&s;ter, Secure, Compound; and I dare &s;ay, two or three Greek words &s;halbe more worth to it then all tho&s;e, and the like, if they will under&s;tand and follow the&s;e, which is no more then <HI>Homer</HI> read long ago, <GAP DESC="foreign">; each State a rule and Government mu&s;t have, which the many de&s;troy while the one doth &s;ave: or if you be|leeve not rea&s;on and truth, becau&s;e it comes from a Poet, yet heare and beleeve God which is truth it &s;elfe, and who <HI>can neither deceive nor be de|ceived,</HI> and he tells you <HI>Prov.</HI> 28.2. <HI>For the trangre&s;&s;ions of a land many are the Princes thereof, but by a man of under&s;tanding and knowledge the State &s;hall be prolonged.</HI></P>
<P>In a word, O ye Commons, nor murmure nor complain any longer a|gain&s;t us, for ruling you and the re&s;t, for God hath &s;poken it and it &s;hall come to pa&s;&s;e, with what judgement ye judge ye &s;hall be judged, Math. 7.2. And with what mea&s;ure ye mete it &s;hall be mea&s;ured to you again: and Rom. 2.2. <HI>We are &s;ure</HI> (&s;aith S. <HI>Paul</HI>) <HI>That the judgement of God is according to truth to them which commit &s;uch things, and v.</HI> 3. <HI>thinke&s;t thou that doe&s;t &s;uch things that thou &s;halt e&s;cape the judgement of God?</HI></P>
<P>But of all others, &ocirc; ye Lords, who are lea&s;t to be pittied, why and with what face complain ye of the Army, for taking away your negative Voices in the upper Hou&s;e, when as you who vote only for your &s;elves, yet af|ter that (at two &s;everall times) ye had voted, and &s;o &s;ent it down to the Hou&s;e of Commons, that ye could not with ju&s;tice and honour re|move the Bi&s;hops out of the Lords Hou&s;e, yet after with inju&s;tice and
<PB N="5" REF="6">di&s;honour ye voted them forth, and from that Hou&s;e which was their proper free-hold, by the ju&s;t and lawfull pre&s;cription of above 8000. yeares, to the third part of which time no Peer now in England can pre|tend, and who &s;ate and voted there not for them&s;elves alone but for God, the Church, and as the Repre&s;entative of all the Churchmen in <HI>Eng|land.</HI></P>
<P N="2">2. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army, for endeavou|ring to &s;ubject you to the Lawes of the Land equally with other Subjects, who have been the principall Authors and Actors in de&s;troying both the Lawes and the freedoms of all the Subjects in England?</P>
<P N="3">3. Why and with what face complain ye of this Army as Rebellious, when as you your &s;elves &s;o lately in a &s;torme, or rather &s;troken with a Pannique feare, like your &s;elves, that is, like valiant Lords, run away from a few boyes unarm'd, and fled to this Army for help as to your Tutelar God.</P>
<P N="4">4. Why and with what face can ye complain of the Army for level|ling you with other free-borne Subjects, and bringing you down to the Commons, when mo&s;t of you have neither &s;o much hone&s;ty nor true ho|nour as mo&s;t of the ordinary Gentlemen in England have, no nor yet can plead anything of worth in your &s;elves for &s;itting there in that high place, more then either purcha&s;e of titular honour for money, or Royall favour to &s;ome of your entituled Predece&s;&s;ors, to who&s;e vertues notwith&s;tanding ye are as little of kin as perchance ye are rightly, if all were known, to their blood.</P>
<P N="5">5. Why and with what face complain ye of the Army, for cen&s;uring and &s;entencing you, who &s;uffered the Commons to cen&s;ure and &s;entence your own Members, contrary to the Priviledges of your Hou&s;e, and the Lawes of this Kingdome? Heare the righteous Judge of all the world &s;peak; With what judgment ye judge ye &s;hall be judged, (<HI>Math.</HI> 7.2.) And with what mea&s;ure ye mete it &s;halbe mea&s;ured to you again. For it is written, <HI>vengeance is mine, I will repay &s;aith the Lord.</HI> Rom. 12.19.</P>
<P>And yet O ye Lords, Commons and City, why &s;tand ye as men affrigh|ted at our Remon&s;trances and Declarations? know rather that though we are and would be accounted ju&s;t and righteous, yet we may and will act according to rea&s;on and prudence, with which God hath inriched us a|bove other &s;inners.</P>
<P>And therefore be a&s;&s;ured, that if ye &s;hall repent and turne unto us, and go our waies, which are the waies of our Lord God, we likewi&s;e will re|pent and turne and be mercifull unto you, we will receive you into our
<PB N="6" REF="7">favour, and with us ye &s;hall eat the good things of the land, and be &s;ati&s;|fied plentifully therewith.</P>
<P>But and if ye &s;hall not &s;peedily returne and joyne with us, and to be commanded by us into who&s;e hands the Lord of Ho&s;ts hath delivered you and all yours; then know for a certain that what ever we have denounced &s;hall come to pa&s;&s;e, that is you &s;hall be &s;cattred among the People, and &s;hall be devoured by wild bea&s;ts, the mouth of the Lord of Ho&s;ts hath &s;poken it.</P>
<P>But O Army, lea&s;t that I &s;eem partiall in pleading your cau&s;e again&s;t the Lords Commons and City, making their crimes and errors as it were a cloke for your enormities and mi&s;doings, give me leave to &s;peak and to propound a que&s;tion to you or two to you in the name and behalf of the Lords Commons and City.</P>
<P>For if you truly be (as you pretend to be) the rod and &s;word of God, appointed to reward and puni&s;h ungodly and unju&s;t offenders; yet boa&s;t not your &s;elf, neither &s;ay in your pro&s;perity you &s;hall not be moved, your mountain is made &s;o &s;trong: or that becau&s;e the&s;e are &s;inners and tran&s;|gre&s;&s;ors, whom you have judged and condemned, that therefore you are inexcu&s;able and clear from all unrighteou&s;ne&s;&s;e; for know that God who breaketh the bow, and cutteth the &s;peare in &s;under, and ca&s;ts the rod of his anger into the fire, when they have fulfilled his will can and will do the like to you, unle&s;&s;e you have good evidence and warrant from Gods revealed Will for what you have or &s;hall intend to do; or if your de|&s;ignes or actions have any other bia&s;&s;ed ends or &s;elfe-intere&s;ts be&s;ides Gods glory, and the publike good.</P>
<P>And whether the&s;e things be &s;o, let me interrogate you: Why, and with what face can you complaine of the late Treaty, the Movers thereof and the Propo&s;itions therein? who your &s;elves &s;o lately did Court the Royall party, and wooe the King to a peace and pardon by the tender of more advantagious Propo&s;alls on his behalfe, and his friends then were offered in the Treaty?</P>
<P N="2">2. Why, and with what face can you &s;o &s;uddenly call for fire from heaven to de&s;troy &s;uch and &s;uch Delinquents, whenas in your for|mer Declarations and Remon&s;trances you profe&s;&s;ed, (and rightly) the contrary way, to be mo&s;t agreeable both to Gods Word and humane prudence?</P>
<P N="3">3. Why, and with what face can you &s;o &s;uddenly ca&s;hiere the Lords, and levell them, who &s;o lately profe&s;&s;ed the maintenance of them in all their Priviledges and Honors?</P>
<P N="4"><PB N="7" REF="7">
4. <HI>Why, and with what face can you, who have &s;worne to maintaine and defend the Lawes of this Kingdome, dare now not only in your own per&s;ons and places to act, but to profe&s;&s;e against all tho&s;e Lawes, and to hold no|thing binding but your owne will and de&s;ires, or the de&s;ires and wills of &s;uch of your own Party, whom alone you &s;tile the godly, hone&s;t, &amp; well-affected?</HI></P>
<P N="5">5. <HI>La&s;tly, can you think, that if &s;elf-love, pride, or ignorant zeal, have &s;o blinded your eyes, that you cannot &s;ee your &s;elves, nor di&s;cover your own hearts, that therefore neither other men, no, nor God him&s;elf doth espie and abhorre all hypocriticall and abominable wayes? Be not deceived, nor think that you can long blind and deceive the world with vaine pretences and windie words of Godline&s;&s;e, Ju&s;tice, &amp; Righteou&s;ne&s;&s;e, for God wil not thus be mocked, no, nor man will ever be thus fooled &amp; cheated; rather fore-&s;ee, feare, and prevent the ju&s;t judgement of God, who doth and will in his time repay both in weight and mea&s;ure, for</HI> Vengeance is mine, I will repay, &s;aith the Lord, (who is the Lord of Ho&s;ts) <HI>Rom,</HI> 12.19. <HI>and therefore can do it, as he hath done to an Army which twenty times exceeds yours.</HI></P>
<P>And that you may &s;top the mouthes of tho&s;e that murmure and repine at your Power &amp; Greatne&s;&s;e, and that you may in part redeem or &s;atisfie for what you have tre&s;pa&s;&s;ed upon and wronged your Countreymen, &s;uffer a word of exhortation, as from the whole Kingdome of <HI>England.</HI></P>
<P>We confe&s;&s;e you have propounded 12 <HI>Herculean</HI> Labors, and how we affect or relli&s;h them, you may ghe&s;&s;e by &s;ome hints or glances in the preceding pa&s;&s;ages: but above the re&s;t, that one for the abridging, Engli&s;hing, and regulating the &s;uperfluities, defects and abu&s;es of our Law as now in u&s;e, we &s;o farre approve and commend, that we wi&s;h our Votes and de&s;ires might be &s;ent up with yours: <HI>viz.</HI></P>
<P N="1">1. <HI>That we conceive the pre&s;ent Common Law now in practi&s;e, to be little more then as you tearm it, an hair-loome of the</HI> Norman <HI>Conque&s;t.</HI></P>
<P N="2">2. <HI>That contrary to the Lawes of all be&s;t and wi&s;est Nations, our Law is a di&s;-joynted, &s;cattered &amp; confu&s;ed thing, or a thing like a Taylors Cu&s;hi|on, &s;o patched together out of many pieces, and that without all or any au|thoritie given thereunto, that it looks more like the new Serjeants Coats, or a motley Cloak-bag, then the Law of a wi&s;e and great People.</HI></P>
<P N="3">3. <HI>That this Law, all or the mo&s;t part of it, is written in an unknowne Pedlar-like Language, which edifieth not the poore Subject, though it be|nefiteth the Lawyer.</HI></P>
<P N="4">4. <HI>That the Law, as now u&s;ed, may have that word given it which was written on the head of the woman,</HI> Revel 17.5. My&s;terie, <HI>and</HI> &s;uch as worketh, 2 <HI>The&s;&s;.</HI> 2.10. with all deceivablene&s;&s;e of unrighteou&s;ne&s;&s;e.</P>
<P N="5">5. <HI>That many Lawyers, but especially Pettifoggers and Officers may</HI>

<P>And though at this time &s;ome of your Army and of the people, for your &s;ake may he droven to &s;o much wickedne&s;&s;e, as to depo&s;e or murther their Liege Lord, the Vicegerent or God, without all Law; yet conceive you not, that either the&s;e, the re&s;t of the people of the old Army, or even of your owne new Modell, may not either return to their right wits, or retaine &s;o much Loyalty or Religion, as to re|quite this act, (according as they are bound by all the Lawes of God, Nations, and this Kingdome.)</P>
<P>And whether your de&s;igne be to depo&s;e or murther the King, be|cau&s;e he did leave you &amp; lean to your oppo&s;ites; or to de&s;troy the <HI>Pre&s;|hyterian</HI> leaders, becau&s;e they did adhere to the King, &amp; again&s;t you; yet be a&s;&s;ured, that as your aym is blood &amp; de&s;truction, &s;o de&s;tructi|on and blood &s;hall be your end; remember <HI>Adonibezek,</HI> Judges 1.6.7. <HI>as I have done, &s;o God hath requited me:</HI> and heare the Poet,</P>
