GOD governeth the world by the supream Councel of heaven, according unto righteousness and true holiness. A Parliament in England is called the su­pream Councel of England; I ask the baynes of Matrimony between Righteousness and true Holiness; if any man know any lawful reason why they may not be joyned to­gether, let them now speak; because in Parliament time is an appointment for that purpose, to be conformable to supream Councel: For Injustice or Unrighteousness hath had a brazen [Page 4]face 536 years (long enough in conscience) as appears by King James speech to the Parliament 1609 published by authority, and in Parliament time, his tongue should be cut out by the root or else we might wish his tongue might cleave to the roof of his mouth, that so his brazen face might fall and speak no more; as it did in Oxford, saying, time is, time was, times past, and then it fell: Time is of correction, time was of injustice, times past we shal have no more, the Parliament have sworn to repent of their sins, and so the brazen face wil fall and speak no more. Time was of making a brazen wall round about England, but Frier Bacon fel asleep; time overslipt, not taking time by the foretop, all the wealth of England went to Rome, into the Pope and Priests baggs. Time was of making a brazen wal within England, by planting a more righteous policy, if time be not past: because Lawyers and their generations had the Major voyce in Parliament 16 [...]9. and wearing buckram bags by their sides, they were called buckram rogues: Rogues in buckram hindred it 1609 and so all the wealth went into buckram ba [...]s: as some say, the E. of Cork was a Lawyer, whose bag held 40000 l. per annum. Since the Parliament 1640 the report went that the Souldier would get all, or run over all. The L. General went so far West, that he fell into the sea at Plimouth and rose again at Portsmouth: the whilst, Sir Wil. Waller went up a hil as high as Worcester, and then came down again: The Earl of Manchester came from York to Dunnington Castle with a great Army, and there stood stil. Sir Iohn Hotham was for the Par­liament, and after for the Privy Councel.

The Concistory of Rome hates that any should know Reli­gion but Priests, because 'tis their trade and occupation to gain, by keeping men blind in their whole Ecclesiastical or Spiritual Jurisdiction: The former Parliament of England did hate, that any should know Law but Lawyers, because it was their trade and occupation to gain, by keeping men blind in their whole temporal or politick jurisdiction: and so men are infected with false tradition and kept blind in the whole &c. Lycurgus the Lawyer was the Author of false tradition, which doth contami­nate the touchstone; for purgation whereof the best reformed Churches do prescribe a potion of Calvins white wine, the Law as plain as the Gospel, which is according to their govern­ment. For Brittain hath been taken by violence of Ro­mans, Saxons, Danes, after whom came the Normans, who brought hither the French and Cavalier Law, making it lawful to plunder men as fast as they grew rich, kill them as fast as populous, except they would s [...]eak French to be called Normans; (as Historians write) 535 years after the Norman, entred the Scot of the line of Cadwallade [...] the last Brittain King, and proved it unlawful by the Law of Moses, but Parliaments [Page 6]would still maintain the Law; whereby it appeareth that the Roman, Saxon, Dane and Norman were the plunderers of all Brittain; and the last, the Norman, made it lawful: Since the Parliament 1643 it hapned that the Lord General was a Nor­man, Sir William Waller a Roman for the Parliament; The Earl of Newcastle a Saxon, and the Lord Hastings a Dane, for the Privy Councel: Plunderers of Brittain by ancient genera­tion, and sworn to kill one another by Law, which the Scots could not salva conscientia come to maintain, ergo, the Parlia­ment swore to repent of their sins, and govern according unto best reformed Churches; to be no longer plunderers or ambi­dexters by making Prerogative above Parliament to kill up the Country, and Parliament above Prerogative to kill up the City; no man knowing Law but Lawyers, and so were like unto the Kingdom of France, where they call themselves the Kingdom of blindmen, because they know neither Law nor Religion; for they speak French, and their Law and Religion speaks Latine. About 15 years past a book was printed at Paris, called Le Roya­alme des Aueugles, dedicate to Cardinal Richelieu, who had a ve­ry rich place according to his name: for, being Admiral of the Kingdom of blindmen of France, he set them together by the ears; taxed, plundered and made himself an admirable and won­derful rich Admiral, So in England men speak English, but the Law speaks French, and differ somewhat because they know Religion; the Lord Rich Earl of Warwick, Admiral of the Kingdom of blindmen by Law, in time like to be admirable rich for the same reason; if the Scots hinder not. Moustrum horrendum, informe, ingens, cui lumen ademptum, and so confront the Cyclops, calling for help when no man hurts them, but themselves; wil ye confront the Cyclops ye Poliphemians? The [...]ory is in the 9 No-man of Homer the blind Poet, where Ʋlisse, William the Norman is the Noman; or a bastard who is an unlawful man; of the injustice in the law of France men may read Philip de Comiues, who was a privy Councellor unto Lewis the 11. Charls the 8. and Lewis XII. Kings of France; who writeth in his History that most men in Italy live by facti­ons and civil Wars, and so infect Spain and France, and they the rest of Europe, and that in France is such tedious and vexa­tious prooefs of Law that it needeth reformation, but that Re­formation [Page 7]is of so dangerous consequence, which men do hate to the loss of life and sense.

By what hath been written may be understood,

That Frier Bacon would have a brazen wall round about England, and K. James would have one within; both very ne­cessary according to the reformed, but to build after their man­ner, are yet to begin.
