Observations on OCTOBER.

THe Princes of Europe can agree but in one thing, and that is in oppressing the people: A dismal time is a coming both to Priests and Lawyers; many of them are clapped up this Month, and some of them may be made shorter by the head the next: Both these sorts of Cattel were established in their Authority by Will: the Conqueror; and the first game they played after they were established, was acted more wisely then honestly by half, which was to abscond from us the Laws we were governed by before the Conquest; ever since which time we have been bred up like birds in a cage, and know not what liberty we were in before that time: These things are like to called in question about this time. I pray God Paris in France be not fired down to the ground during the effects of this ☌ of ♄ and ♂: It promises Ierusalem to the Iews, I would to God once they had it, for then my joys would be full: The truth is, it happening in a humane sign, it will set all the world together by the ears; and I hope to see the Eastern Empire once in the hands of Christians. The old Laws and Cu∣stoms of this Nation will go near to appear in print this Month, and then we shall know better what Li∣berty is. Philosophers say it is an easier matter to get their Mercury, then to know it, for it is a volatile spirit every where, and in all things. This I know to be a truth, and I do as really beleeve it, it is an easier matter to get our Liberty, then to know what it is. You shall find about the latter end of this Month how Kings and Magistrates will scuffle to maintain their Prerogatives; but the Commonalty will not be content with bread and water, so long as they know where to get rost-meat at a cheap rate.
