POSTSCRIPT.

Courteous Reader,

IN this brief Catalogue, you have written as it were in short hand within the compasse of a penny, the Tragical and more then barbarous Cruelties, exercised up­on the true Protestant Clergy, as well within as without the Walls and Liberties of London; As they were acted in good earnest by the Brethren of the Presbytery, who now themselves cry out so much of Persecution. It is much desired that some Inge­nuous Persons in the severall Counties of this Kingdome, will collect and present to the World in larger Characters, a Catalogue likewise of those Loyall Ministers, who in each respective County, have past through the Presbyterian Furnace, which like Nebuchadnezzars Oven, was made seven times hotter, then that into which Gods justice, and the peevishnesse of their refractory Spirits, hath now cast their mercilesse Persecutors.

Cursed be their wrath for it was fierce, and their rage for it was cruell; I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

Gen. 49.7.
