"As your Allegiance, mask't hypocrisie. "Untill when _Charles_ shall be compos'd in dust, "Perfum'd with Epithites of good and just; "_He sav'd; Incensed Heaven may have forgot_, "_To afford one act of mercy to a Scot_. Finis." On March 9th, 1646/7, the House of Commons referred this paper to the examination and consideration of Sir Robert Pye and others, to enquire out the authors, printers, and publishers thereof.[124] A copy is preserved in the British Museum Library. 156. A warning for all the Counties of England to awake spedily out of their dreames and apply themselves to all just meanes for the recoverie and preservation of their Liberties; because of a present designe, to expell the most Faithfull out of their House of Commons, and to frustrate all the Countries good Elections, that so the Malignant party may bring the free Commons of England now (after all their bloody sufferings) into cruel Thraldome, and make themselves Lords over them. On March 25th, 1647, the House of Commons ordered that enquiry should be made who were the "authors, contrivers, designers, printers, publishers, and venders" of this "scandalous seditious pamphlet," and the Stationers' Company were forthwith to seize the same, and all other scandalous pamphlets of the like nature, and suppress them; and the Sergeant at Arms was to do the same.[125] A copy exists in the British Museum Library. It is in quarto, and contains 20 pages. It commences thus:-- "JER. 5. 1. 2. "_Run to and fro thorough the streetes in_ Jerusalem, (_as it may be truly said of_ Westminster _and_ London) _and see now, and know, and seeke in the broad places thereof, if ye can finde a man, if there be any that executeth judgement, that seeketh the Truth, and I will pardon it_. "And though they say the Lord liveth, surely they sweare falsly. "HOSEA. 10. 4. "_They have spoken words swearing falsly, in making a Covenant._ "Wee the free Commons of England, have been (for the general part) like Marchant Adventurers, who according to the Poet, _per varios casus_, _per tot discrimina rerum_, &c., through many great difficulties and dangers do saile into farr Countries, with great costs and charges to fetch home rich Treasures, the which when they have gotten, they do returne therewith joyfully: & yet upon their own Coasts, or in the very harbour at home, through the negligence, or ambition, pride, covetousnesse, falshood, or contention of the Ships-Master, or his Mariners, do suffer wrack, and loose the fruit of all their Costs, Adventures, and travells." 157.
