Monethly Predictions upon April.

The Lord divert the crosse influences of the Starres from falling upon us Eng∣lish, either by divisions amongst our Councellors themselves, or the intemperate results of others, whether Officer or Officers of Warre, or Men officiating in the name of Ministers. We have good, we have petty newes from Ireland. We are no∣thing astonisht at various news which would make us believe an Invasion from a Scots King is expected; and he providing in several Kingdoms Men and Arms a∣gainst our Common-wealth. Oh English, fear no such Bug-bears; He fights a∣gainst providence, who drawes his Sword against this Common-wealth. With∣out future troubles we can or shall not be; without a King hereafter, both Ma∣lignant and Priest ridden zealots must be. Now we may hourly expect very com∣fortable

Letters from our friends in Ireland, as also from several other parts of the world; and a general willingness to quietness seems possesse the English Com∣mon-wealth, who begin to be sensible that no Dominion upon earth is perpetual. If not before this, the Portugal hath writ to make his peace with our State, he may neer this time smart for his folly. Our Senators or interval Governours officiate nobly and honourably. English valour and Souldiery becomes terrible unto France, where War must now approach. Nothing of good comes from Scotland.
