I PETER CHAMBERLEN, a Servant of the Most High, through the Mercies of Jesus Christ▪ First Physician to the Royal Progeny, and in Ordinary to His Sacred Majesty: To Discharge My Conscience towards God, my Duty, Love and Faithfulness to my Royal Master, to the Parliament, and to my Na­tive Countrey.

Do Testifie, in Presence of God, Angels and Men, that the WOES given me to Denounce against the Bloody City, against the Presbyte [...]ean Ministers and Lawyers, and against the Idol Parlia­ment, the Bloody Parliament, when they had ALL the POWER in Their Hands, and thought Themselves IMMOVEABLE and SECURE: Sending it with the Sign of the Bloody Arm to the Lord Major, and to the Speaker that then were, God hath (in part) Fulfilled, to the Amazement of the World. Because they De­spised Warning from the Lord, and Counsel to SAVE Many Thou­sand LIVES and SOULS: Calling Publick things Private, and Private things they called Publick, Branding Me with the Report of Madness, which Fools and Others Believe, and report to this Day. But God hath returned the Madness on their own heads, though it was my portion then for Disobedience, because (to avoid the Censure of Madness) I did not personally Proclaim the Woes with a Naked Bloody Arm, and Bare feet, from the Royal Exchange to Westmin­ster-Hall.

Now let all men Judge, whether the Woes are not come to pass in a great measure. When the City was brought under the Power of the Sword? Her Magistrates Disgrac't, Displac't, and Others in Their room, at the Lust, and Pleasure, or Discretion of the strongest Weapon? But they are not yet Burnt or Massacred (as some Feared, and Others Maliciously reported they should be) by Ana­baptists: What they may be by Others of their Own Chusing, if they repent not, is not for me to Determine.

Were not some Woes fulfilled on the Presbyterian Ministers, when Some were Beheaded, Some forced to recant for their Lives, and Many turn'd Independents: and All at this day in Present Danger of Per­jury for Compelling Their Scottish Covenant?

Were not also the Lawyers Termes made Vacation, the Inns of Court Desolate, Inhabited by a few Women and Landresses, and Lawyers Gownes Threatned to be Hung up by the Scottish Co­lours?

But were not the Woes fulfilled most of all against the PAR­LIAMENT so often Pieced and Made up till it became like Sir Francis Drakes Ship (scarce one Planck left of the Old One) yet at last broken up, then Whistled for again by the Souldiers, and Broken up again, and by Some of Themselves, with others, revil'd into the Stinck and Scorn of a Rump? Are not All their Members Scattered; their Names Blotted with Ignominy, Some Imprisoned, and Some brought to the Grave in Blood and Sorrow?

Not that I dare Judge them Greater Sinners than Those, on whom the Tower of Shilo fell: for the Words of our Saviour are,

The Arm of the Lord is not shortned. There is yet a Cup of Trembling in the Hand of the Lord.

Many great Works may yet be done, which are not.
