I. CArdinals) Assume to themselves a Masculine power over the most royall consciences even of Kings and Princes, and overtopping the Crowne, dash the Septar against that truth which dares to say so. Thier Will is as rotten as old, fitter for a munument in a ruined Tower, than a princes pallace, yet be­ing of the Arch-Bishop of Yorkes Regiment to remain in the Court they will begg to be Vshers rather then to leave it: And those Cardinal alias Calde Dinates, were ever Enemies to Reformation. Ezra 4.9.

II. The French Faction) Are a feminine society of superstious wan­tons, who to advance the honour of their own Diana, hold it pure devotion to keep her active, though by blood they would awake her that cannot live, when they Dig-by the Altars of their ofen sacrificed Sucklings, they may behold a fit object to stay their hands from such Goring of their own flesh, least pearsing to the marrow it prove martall to the grand ladies their commanders, & this faction of Zaraphath, that is, France did alwaies strive to keep the people of God in bondage. Obaliah ver. 20.

III. The Spanish Faction) Are a Newtroll Sect who regard nei­ther God nor man, Religion nor Law, King, nor people, The gold and the Jewels of a Crown are to them no more valued than a stone Crucifixe, or the badg of a Spanish Pentioner, Cottington of whose Regiment these are, hath by many a fained Arand-dealt too false with England, to deceive us of our best treasure, whilst we embrasing Bristoll stones, hazard the losse of our best diadems. Of this Sect are the Faction of S [...]ad, that is, Spain, who ever reioy­sed to tyrannize over the Church of God. Obad. ver. 20.

IIII. Adamites? have all things common, and hold it a para­dice [Page]to live so because their discipline allowes both Sects to Court naked, in which they bulsh no more than Adam at his first Creati­on, Gen 2.5. This discipline a natine Germine first learned in Holland and since being in England, taught it to the Cavalrie of his Regiment.

V. Bishops) Are a doubtful brotherhood of Prelates, who Perse the sides of our Saviours Members, and would from Peter-borow a succession to sit in Pilates Judgement Hall, to passe the sentence against the Son of God, for whose sake Peter suffered death, and these are of the Bishop of London-Derries Regiment. These Bishlomites, alias Bishops, do still labour to keep us under the Bond-age of their cruel slaverie.

VI. Iesuites) Like their Father Esau, rejoyce to spill their bre­threns blood, for their greasie Cooke to make sauses with, to relish their unsatiate pallets, and where they reign in their Caps and Ro­chets starve the peoples soules, by keeping from them that heaven­ly food, which by divine influence is onely able to make them live. Sir Iohn Winter their Colonell would make us beleeve that they are Iesuites of Ieshui, corrupting the Scriptures to make it speak of such a family, Num. 26.44. In the last Translation onely, but are rather of Ieush, the wicked off-spring of Esau.

VII. Malignants) Are a malicious brood of an old Majors Varlets, who take more care to Cripse their own perewigs, then to make the Church Glorious. It may seem strange that the Malig­nitie of the Planets should produce such effects by Rupert their Ge­nerall, and yet we may read of such flowers even among the Vio­lets, which have buddeded in this famous City. These Melzerants, Malignants, out of envie to Gods people, can willingly allow them nothing but bread and water to sustaine life, Dan. 1.16.

VIII. Priests) Are a sort of small Comets, whose lustre is derived from other Stars, drinking sack with Baccus under the influence of the moon and Venus, without which their dull ingenuity cannot appear visible in any Horison. These are of Overtons Regiment, the drunken Person, and though they weare the Golden feathers of of Finches, and catter like Magpies, yet are no more to be valued then the little Wren.

IX. Arminians) Srive to rob the Protestant Church of all her glory, Featly to deck their own garden with popish flowers, which (notwithstanding) all that Dupper their Colonell, and they can do, bears nothing but Ferne and Grosse stubble, which they will fly to [Page] Armenia with, rather then let it be rooted put and taken away. Esa. 31.15.

X. Italians) Are the profest Papists, who under Inchequeen, seek to crowde out the Protestant Religion, that the Italian Sumpter, their Mother may Vsher in: and so Cosen us of our Religion, as Pocklington would have done of our Sabbath: 2 Chron. 24.7.

XI. Shelomethites) hold swearing but a complement; and blas­phemie a badge of Honour, and so Hasting their own ruine; Hurry their Liftenant Generall Wilmot to destruction, which is alwaies nigh at hand to take hold of the blasphemous sons of Shelomith, Levit. 24.11.

XII. Chiliastes) Imagine Christs Kingdom here on earth to estate them in all kindes of delicate pleasures; which though not now, yet in time to come, Greenevill and his Regiment hope to enjoy a thousand yeers. But this Icy path is a deluge onely frozen by the Hary mother of a Winter, which in passing over will melt and swallow up the passengers into her bowels, Euseb. l. 3. c. 39.

XIII. Clements) Are perswaded that after death they may re­pent, in the world to come, and it is soon enough to seek Gods mercy, which makes the bloody resolutions of Onele and his mur­dering Regiment, not to passe By-worne conceived: and venture on as desperate attemps, as Luntsford himselfe, or the bloody Lord Breton, Clem. Strom. l. 2.

XIV. Simon Maguses) Teach their Disciples, as Maurice doth his Souldiers, not onely to adore their own picture, and wear it in their bosomes, but sacrifice their strength for the honour of their Hele­naes, who like Iermin Frowes, follow the camp, as our Gallants do their Confessors, Euseb. l. 2. c. 14.

XV. Achaians) Affirme, that wen the bodie dies the soul peri­sheth, and both shall be renued again at the day of Judgement: which doctrine is some thing like that which possesseth the broken Citizens, under the Marquesse which will both meet in one center of a vast nothing: for that condition in which the soul is stated (which being immortall, cannot die) shall be increased, but never changed. Origen. com func. in chron. l. 6.

XVI. Minanders) Like Hary Iermin their Lord Lievetenant, Beleeve that the World was created by Angels, and that their Pa­tron, and divine Minander is able to blesse both their painting box­es at home, and their Armes in the camp, to make the one to pre­serve [Page]their youth; and the other their life and by a confection of their prurging ruberb: commpounded with Spanish Flies and Court Jun­ctos; they shall nevr be in fear of death, Euseb. l. 3. c. 26.

XVII. Ebonites) Like Glenhams Northerne ignoramus­ses: Denie the divinitie of Christ, and say, that he was only begotten betwene Ioseph and Mary, and therefore think it best to fill their Gorges with the worlds rarities, and desperately submit their resolu­tions to the seeming excellencie of that froth, which may encrease but never can remove their misery.

XVIII. Corinthusses) Like Baggot and his Liechfield Garison, be­leeve that the Subjects of Christs Kingdome should eat and drinke and marry, and keep holy dayes, and offer Sacrifices and live under the Prelats oath, &c. These road so fast on Roan their Popish Nag, that by reason of a suddain stop, they swore themselves into a protesta­tion, and destroyed themselves with their own Canons, and would yet destroy their own Church, to erect new Altars and Conclaves for their own resting to play the secret Gluttons in Euseb. l. 3. c. 18.

XIX. Nicholaitans) Live promiscuously, like beasts, no man having his own proper wife, but using any women at their pleasure, these are not onely plunderers of mens estates, but Robbers of their very skins and bones, as the Rapes by Colonel [...]unsfords quarters committed, can testifie.

XX. Marcions) Beleeve that there are two gods, one the Author of all good, the other of all evil things, which Sect Palicarpus in his time called, the first born of the Devill, and in these daies some of Sir Iohn Digbyes Regiment have drunk healths to the Devill, and (as I am informed by M. Allum a Divine, which was an ear witnesse: others have cast lots, when they have found their sores mortall, for the dis­posing of places in Hell and have proceeded therein to Election, Symps­on c. p. 417.

XXI. Encratica) Have a great respect to observe the traditions of men, but blaspheme Scriptures, as their predecessor did Pauls Ep. These will adore the Book of Common praier, and act their part of a play or prophane Theatre with great devotirn, but as they did at Redding, and other places) threw the Bibles into the fire and burne them to ashes. One of them when a report was made of a defeat given by the Enemie to a partee of our forces in the North, one said in my own hearing, Mosly by name (as I am justifie upon oath) Where is your Iesus to help you now? as if in beleeving the Scriptures, we had trusted in that Word which cannot save us. Euseb. l. 4. c. 18.

[Page] XXII. Valentinians) sometimes called Gnostici, at tribute every thing to the Fates: as if there were so many masculine and feminine gods, as Davenant their Commander and the Poets have fained. A branch of which heresie spreads in the adoration of Patrick, S. Taffy, Valentine &c. By a Crosse, a Leek, a Favour, &c. August index heresies.

XXIII. Theodotians) Deny Christ to be God: of whom a fect of Welch Cavalires under Colonell Gerhard have learned to call upon the Virgin Mary to command her Son to help them: and attribute more vertue to her milke then to his blood, which they daily profane by bloody oathes and execrations: Symps. ch. p. 420.

XXIV. Samseis) Are a sort of Neuterals, under Major Generall Tillier, that are Hurri-ed up and down with every blast of winde, that will use the bed for daily devotions, the Parliament for Privi­ledge; or the Court for Prerogative; England for riches, or Holland for securitie, and swear and do any thing; cost it never so Dere; to stand and remain in favour. Coment. func. in Chron.

XXV. Samosetence) under the Lord Hopton, Believe that it was onely Christs valour and wisdom; which obtained him so great a re­port in the World: And therefore hold it their chiefest wisdome to strive each to precede each others in some valour, plots or projects: to beget an applause of those the fight for. who by their Conjuring and Sophistrie, have perswaded some to (incredible) opinions of their own glory: Symps. c. p. 244.

XXVI. Manicheans) Do utterly reject the Old Testament, ascribing not sin to the free will of man, and his voluntarie defection from the estate of his first creation: but to necessitie, because mans body was made of the substance of the Prince of darkenes, which rocks the young Ca­valiers of Colonell Gorings new regiment, into a pleasing slumber of security in vice: Symps. c. p. 244.

XXVII. Apollinaries) Say that Christ in the dispensation of his In­carnation, assumed the body onely and not the soul of a man because his divinity supplied the place of his soul: And one stream of such a fountain in another case runs over all the Cavallies, under Generall Forth, who would traduce us to beleeve that the bodie of the two Houses of Parliament have no other vitall whereby to live; then the Kings presence; denying that power by which his Majeste hath put an influence to everie motion acted by that grand bodie; who enjoy both the life of the Law; Prerogatice and Priviledge: besides his Majesties owne Aact to them above all former Parliaments: Ruffem. l. 2.20.

XXVIII. Donatists) under Montrosse, Believe that neither the [Page]Word of God, nor any under the cope of Heaven; can make so perfect a Church, as their own Discipline; as if it was impossible for Rome to erre? Whose Ministers are as vitious as profane heathen. And no calling in the World live in greate impietie, as M. Carpenter one of their own Converts hath confessed since his Recantation, Symp. c. p. 430

XXIX. Seleucians) Are of opinion that the Masse whereof God made the Elements was Coeternall with him: and that Christ in his Ascension unclothed himself of the flesh of man, and left it in the Globe of the Sun. Sir Kelemne Digd-by this Gulfe, and drained in some of this puddle to water his intellect; to transmould Spencer beyond his stanzees. And I would have all such Students to wait for pay, till they attain the Philosophers Stone; for what is any man the better to study that which is only the shadow of another fancies: Symp. p. 431.

XXX. Pelagians) Do affirm that men naturally are able to fulfill the Law of God, and that the posterity of Adam are sinners by imita­tion: and not by propagation; and that the holy Fathers rather con­fessed their sins of humility then of necessity: Were not the Cavalieres under Hasting, benummed with this dulnesse and sensuality; they would not dare to commit such horrible wickednesse: Aug. consil.

XXXI. Abelarders) As their patron Abelardes, taught that the holy spirit was the soul of the World, and that he was not of the substance of the Father, so his Successors at this day Smith the Marshall and his Catch­poles do no lesse despite the spirit of God, making a jeering, and an object of laughter, at every work and operation thereof, who not only making a mock of spirituall prayer and dispensation of Gods Word, have greatly despised the Spirit of Grace; but have beaten and misused Godly Ministers; bade them tell by the spirit, who it was that struck them: Symps c. p. 440.

XXXII. Peterenins) Other waies called Gasarius, affirme, with Can­terburie that married people are not in the estate of grace; and cannot be saved. Indeed our Metropolitan Prelats durst never marry; and there are not many only common men, but great ones too amongst the Commanders, who though they be as great Whoremasters as Suckling ever was, yet hold it a damnable sin to marry: Symps. c. p. 441.

XXXIII. Patricellins) At Oxford under Sir Arthur Ashton, Think they have no need of spirituall prayer, and fasting; hearing Gods Word, Reading and such other works of piety, whereby increase of grace is obtained, and do therefore hate, deride, and scorn, all those who endeavour to live godly: against whom for this very cause they are now in armes against them: Symp. c. p. 441.

[Page] XXXIIII. Are Shipmoney Mongers, that hold it lawfull for Princes to pole the very Hides of their Subiects, and that Kings have a pro­prietie in the peoples Estates, to make use thereof at their pleasures, and of this Sect are the Malignant Judges chief in the cause.

XXXV. And the Irish Rebels, which hold it lawfull to cut the throate of, and murder all the Protestants in England Scotland and Ire­land, and that it is a meritorious worke so to do, and for that purpose rose in Ireland, and did there begin under Oneal the chief of them, and have since for that purpose come into and remain in England.

XXXVI. The last are a sort of she Cavalliers about the City, that Drinke, Roare, and Sweare, as lustily as any, in the Campe, and out­brave a malignant Report, or cause, against all truth, especially when their tongues have been well whitled at the Tavarne or Alehouse.

WHy then should we (who lay claim to the true Protestant Religion) long to be at peace with such as these; and sucmit to what discipline they will give us; who minde Whoring, Sswearing, Idolatry, Drunkeunesse, blasphemie, and all manner of vice, and prefer it before any thing that is truly good.
