To the People of England.
Indeared, and cordial Countrey-men;
GIve me leave, I beseech you, to present you with a Glass, wherein it demonstrated the true Revolution of the year; the mutation and state of Weather; the several and great Eclipses that will be visible both in the Sun and Moon: As also Monethly Predictions of most notable Concurrences; fore-shewing, the New-game and Design of the King of Scots, (for the disturbing of the peace and tranquility of this Common-weal) and the event and success thereof: Together with a Description of his Actions, Counsels, and Results. But at famous Lepington saith; How can Charles the Gratious be better drawn to the Life, than by the description of Tarquin the proud? And how can the unparalle'ld Founders of a free-born people be better portraicted, than by the deciphering of Regal Tyranny; For, indeed, a Tyrant is to all men hateful; for he builds the whole body of his State upon the columns of fear. But I shall endeavour to moderate my Pen; desiring thee (Courteous Reader) not to be too sud∣den in thy censure; for believe me, it will admit of second thought.
G. H.
