I Gave you in my last the names of those Members of the House of Commons (observing which were Officers of the Army, contrary to the selfe denying Ordinance) together with such summes, Offices, and Lands as they had given to them∣selves for services done against the King and Kingdome, now accor∣ding to my promise I appeare a second time unto you, with a Scrole containing what further Offices and rewards, have been bestowed, upon those who call themselves Parliament men, but are indeed no other then the betrayers of their King and Country, these are they who have supprest the Monopolies of Sope, Tobacco, they have monopoliz'd our lives, which they offer up on all occasions as sacri∣fices to their ambitious desire of Soveraignty, they have monopo∣liz'd our wives and daughters, whom they abuse at their pleasure for the sating of their monstrous lusts, they have monopoliz'd our Estates, so that no man is master of what hee hath, all civill pro∣priety be taken away, they Sequestring mens Lands, and plun∣dering them to a penny, upon very slight and triviall grounds, and indeed without any ground at all, save for the inriching of them∣selves, these are they, that with the King of Ammon promise us li∣berty, provided wee will permit them, to bore out our right eyes first, who bave eased us of the payment of a penny, and instead thereof constraine us to disburse millions, yea, all wee have, and yet af∣terward cast us in prison there to starve with hunger, those and such like are those glorious liberties, to which this Parliament hath re∣stored us.

I cannot but informe you, that these Commissioners of both Houses of Parliament, viz: Mr. Adam Lawrence, Mr. Dierrick Hoosts, Mr. Maurice Thompson, and Mr. Nicholas Corsells, who were im∣ployed to the States of Holland, and to the Burgomasters of the se∣verall Cities to negotiate for the reliefe of the protestants in Ireland, having given up their accounts, it appeares that they have received of the well effected in Holland for the reliefe of the Protestants in Ire∣land, the full summe of one and thirty thousand two hundred and eighteene pounds, which computed with that which hath been levi∣ed in England since the warre, amounts to full three millions where∣of the poore Protestants of Ireland have received barely but twenty thousand pounds, the rest is in the Chests of our purse Reformers, these are thy worthies oh England, to whom thou offrest up thy selfe a bloudy sacrifice.
Charles Loolen given him 600 l. with 400 l. more out of the estate of sir Iohn Srangewaies.
Thus doe our Reformers cut out large thongs out of other mens sides, and give away franckly that which is none of their owne, as a weeke since they bestowed no lesse then six hundred pounds upon se∣verall Messengers, who came one upon the neck of another, with the unfortunate newes out of Scotland, it might be proved that they have squandred away the better part of fourty thousand pounds since this warre upon Spies and Messengers these are they that have eased us of one King, to the end themselves might all turne Tyrants, who have charitably diverted us from a warre with a forreig•e Enemy, to the end we might sheath our swords in our owne bowells, that so upon our dead carkasses they might mount the throne of the Kingdome, these are they, that under pretence of purging the errours, have lef• us •o Church at all, but it fares with the people of England, as it was once with the Israelites of old when they had no King to rule over them, every man does that which is right in his owne eyes, these are they who have imprisoned and abused the most vertuous Prince in Europe, have quite marr'd the most reformed Church in Christen∣dome, and who will (without Gods great mercy) bee the ruine of the sometime) most renowned and worthy English Nation, so tha• they shall cease from under Heaven.
