IN CE Great Britain hath been elevated all along the Stems of Plantagenet, Theodor or Tedor, and Stuart, to fo high a Tree of Tyranny, as fhe was afore the late Wars; the Princes had Designs proportionable to a Way of making themselves abfolute Governors; which Overture hath appeared more or lefs, according to the Humour of Times, and Inclination of the Guiders of the Stern: For fome endued with Ability and Craftinefs, neceffary to fettle an ufurped Ambition, whilft the People were willing to bear the Load of that Burden, have made a Progrefs fo politickly to bring their Aims to the

Right Honorable Senators,

W

ANDERING in the Circumference of my Contemplations, to find out what was moft fuitable to prefent to the Supremacy of Parliament, under fuch a divine Revolution as God hath brought to pass inftrumentally by your Wisdom and Direction, and his heavenly Providence: In this wide Field the Omnipotent guided my Thoughts, to dedicate a Dif courfe to your honourable Hands, concerning the fatal Cataftrophe of the laft Houfe had Superintendency over us, to the Time the Almighty put the Stern of this Commonwealth into a Parliamentary Power, which I most humbly wish our Celestial Creator to continue, till a Snail be able to creep over the whole Globe of the Earth.

In the mean while, I crave your Pardon, that I

Mark fhot at, that they have fo fubtilly diffembled the Enterprize, as no Notice or Scandal arrived at their Doors, nor Impatience to the three Countreys of England, Ireland, and (fince the Accefs of the Family of the Stuarts) to Scotland; until King James, for Hatred of his Mother's Death, plotted the Ruin of Parliaments, which ratified Queen Mary's Execution; and left it as his Teftament for his Succeffor to follow; dictating, not long after his Death, to Williams, Archbishop of York, the Course he fhould fteer to bring his Counfel to Conclufion. This devilish Advice thrust on this wilful Prince with an inconfiderate Fury; and, inflamed with that Fire, to fettle to himfelf and his Succeffors an unbridled Power of Dominion; which hurried him on with the Whirlwind of Paffion, to difcover the Myftery which ought to have been concealed till the Defign fhould be accomplished. Wherefore, of this Number in our Days was Charles the Firft, who, from the Beginning of his Government, blaming the Moderation of his Predeceffors, refolved to go a Way contrary to the Stream of a pious Rule, and the Command of God; and act, during his Time, that which God would not fuffer to be done in many Ages paft. And because the Pretenfion is always encumbred, when the Object cannot be attained; by wicked Advice perceiving he had not fo well marched to accomplish his Drifts, with the juft Power of Parliaments, which might found a Trumpet in the Behalf of a Commonwealth, by Advice of his Antecedent and his wicked Adherents, laboured to raze out the Memory, breaking up two Parliaments; and not fatisfied therewith, to practife Tyranny, kept the Nation near fourteen Years without fuch most lawful Affemblies, where the Rights of the Nation might be
