POSTSCRIPT.

Courteous Reader,

CErtaine Passages in the late Relation of the Illegall Procee∣dings against Mr. Larner, were through some casuall mistake omitted, which for the further satisfaction of those who are desirous to be acquainted therewith, are hereunder annexed. Ʋiz.

That the uprightnesse and fidelity of the said Mr. Larner, to this present Parliament, the ancient Immunities, Birthrights and Freedoms of the People, ever hath been such, as envy it self is not able to prove any thing against him, to render him guilty; and though in his de∣bursements for the common good, he may not in the predicament of quantity, be numbred with the mighty and wealthy, yet in quallity, he may challenge precedence from many such, even so much, as the poor mans Mite sometimes exceeds the rich mans Treasure; for from his owne voluntary Freedome, he hath abstracted from his Necessities, to make an Offering for the Redemption of our Native Freedoms, which in Equity, is more estimable, then ten times more, spared from redundant superfluity: yet (notwithstanding his continued fidelity to the State), it is his unhappinesse, from the hands of such, who should rather cherish, honour and countenance him, and all such who are so faithfull to the Common-weal of this Kingdome, then to suffer him or them to be still subjected to the malice of such fraudulent Varlets, and but lately Episcopall Arbitrary Catch-poles as Hunscott and his Confederates, who thirst after his blood; for it is Hunscots desires, (if his tongue may give evidence to his thoughts,) that Mr. Larner might be whipt once a day, for six weeks together, and then to beat Hempe other six Weekes, and then to be hanged.

Hunscott by this (dear Friends,) tells his own fate, Who well deserves a * 1.1 Halter, from the State.

Such measure as hee metrs another, ought (in equity) to be mett to him againe.

Such as are desirous to be further informed concerning the Native Free∣doms of this Nation, let them peruse the litte Treatise, Intituled Eng∣lands Birth-right, and the Book called, Another word to the wise. Where they may find much worthy Information, and great satisfaction.

FINIS.
