A soveraigne salve to cure the blind, or, A vindication of the power and priviledges claim'd or executed by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, from the calumny and slanders of men, whose eyes (their conscience being before blinded) ignorance or malice hath hoodwinckt. Wherein the fallacie and falsity of the anti-parliamentary party is discovered, their plots for introducing popery into the church and tyranny into the state are manifested: the pretended fears of danger from seperatists, Brownists, &c. blowne away. And a right way proposed for the advancing the just honour of the King, the due reverence of the clergy, the rights and liberty of the people: and the renewing a golden age. by J. M. Esquire.

REader, if thou expectest here a polite stile or fluent phrase, thou wilt be deceived in thy ex∣pectation: it is not Rhetorick but reason can satis∣fie the judgment (which this Author intended) the former may cozen the conscience, and dazle simple men: the latter onely can satisfie the Wise, and lead to truth. A rough Diamond is precious, when the best wrought glasse is despicable; the painted Oratory (which best pleaseth the vulgar) ill suits with the well becoming gravity of a Statist. The right stating of many questions in the insuing Trea¦tise hath necessitated the dilating of some sentences more then may stand with a pleasing stile: yet it is not doubted but the lovers of Truth will find that performed which is promised. Farwell.
