and covetousness, that no hopes nor fears can work upon him; he can speak to the point, and tell truth down-right, his tongue indeed can run through the earth, and he is not afraid to offend the gods, although thereby his hopes be crossed, and he may be hindered in his private interest; as he saith, it seems then the man hath some hopes and private interest, but sure they are in Scot∣land, not in England, and then in this discourse of his he hath secured them suf∣ficiently. In a word, this man, as he proves it, through his whole discourse is one of those who is not afraid to speak evil of Dignities, having filled his mouth with the swelling words of vanity and falshood. Next his estate cooperates much to the continuance of these virtues, he hath Far modicum, a sufficient Viaticum which he preferreth to the glystering slavery of ambitious men. Here you have an ample Testimony given of himself by himself, and certainly there is more than need of all this if any man would believe it the sooner for his saying it, when you shall compare his carriages in his discourse following with this profes∣sion in his Epistle. In the second part of his Epistle he will give you evidence and demonstration of his impartial proceeding, that you may not rest upon his bare word alone; and therefore he will begin with his own Nation, the Kingdom of Scotland (for no man that reads him will doubt of his being a Scot) the report goeth also that he hath been a School-master, or a Tutor, who hath been ac∣customed to have Boys under his Rod; and this is very probable, considering how Magisterially he carrieth himself all along, for we know your Peda∣gogue is ever the onely forward putting man; if you will make use of him, you may put him upon any thing, as this man, who having wrapped his head up in his own dream, like that bird, which useth to thrust her head into a bush, thinks he shall never be discovered and flushed, and thereupon he goes on to threaten Kingdoms, reprove Parliaments, counsel the Commissioners of another King∣dom to stir up the people of this Kingdom to sedition, and appeal from the Parliament wherein resides the Supream power, unto the multitude, he traduceth the Committee of both Kingdoms, casts the froth and falshood of his brain upon particular men of both Houses that are of greatest fidelity and integrity, he doth not name them in∣deed, that he tells you he will forbear, but so describes them that he need not say there is a Nose in the middest of your face; could you expect all this from any other but your Pedagogue? who in the mean time may fancie himself walk∣ing with his serrula in his hand up & down in the middest of his boys, elevated to the height of a supercilious gravity, as his phrase and manner of speech sheweth. Yet let us hear what he will say of the Kingdom of Scotland, it may be he hath exceeded his Commission, and will have no thanks for his labour, though his good intentions were onely to flourish there, that the better way might be made for him to give a home-thrust, where he intended it, against the Kingdom of England.He saith, not few, but many, not small ones, but the chief and leaders of the rest, not through infirmity and weakness, but with study and a high hand, upon malice, had left their integrity and sincerity to the cause of God, and followed the devises which pride and covetousness carried them unto, and for their private interest fall to plot∣ting and caballing how to supplant one another, and increase their own factions, still busying their thoughts to bear down their opposites, not sorry in their hearts at the Enemies success, hoping thereby to make advantages for the setting up of their own party.
