With the particular speeches spoke on either side before the said Captaine EDVVARD WALBRUCKE was miserably wounded and slaine . Rebellion is as the sinne of Witchcraft . By H. T. Printed Anno Dom. 1647 ▪ AN VPRORE IN THE NORTH , AT HULL , By a Company of souldiers against their Captaine Edw. VValbrucke . TO desine warre is to speake of a bloody Theame : of which the subject on which I write forces me unto . Pax ubi non est ibi nilhonesti , saith one : where there is no peace honesty hath little to do , as may appear by the ensuing subject . In Hull ( the situation of which place I beleeve few are ignorant of , was a Regiment of Souldiers , who haveing some distaste of their Captain , scorning to be controuled ; told him , as he was their Captaine and commander they honoured him , but if that he went any way to tyrannize over them , he should find a souldiers malice not inferiour to a Captains , they said they came thither to fight for their King and country , for whose sakes the best blood in their bodies they would spend , all shouting forth with a generall consent cursed be he which fears to die in a iust cause , truth we love , but falshood contemne . One better minded Souldier then all the rest answered most wisely after this maner : Do but give me the hearing and you shall soone grant how rediculous this uprore is ; wise men never attempt impossibilities ; t is more easie and lawfull for any single arme to quell an army , as to effect with loyalty your intented enterprise . We come hither to fight for our King , & to relieve our country from slavery , but not to raise civill wars amongst our selves , which of all dissension is the worst : then turning to his Captaine he speaked thus : What Magick hath transform'd thee from thy self ? Where is thy wonted valour ? How hast thou lost thy boasted freedome ? What new fire burn'd up thy scorched entrayles ? What unknowne desires invade and take posession of thy soule ? All vertuous obiects vanisht ? Hastthou stood the shocks of fierce encounters ? Stopt thine ears against all syren notes moving to the least distemper against thy Souldiers ? What monster is it , which hath drawne thy barke of clemencie , ( that which wonder hath kept , an honoured and constant course : ) into the gulfe of a deserved ill fame ? and in a moment with thine own hands dig up a grave to bury the momumentall heape of all thy yeares imployd in noble actions : I sorrow for thy fate : we obey thee , and willingly put our owne fetters on to grace thy triumph , it were therefore more then cruelty in thee to use us as a tyrant useth to doe his servants , for so we are , but not your slaves ; wherefore I desire your worship to take consideration . The Captaine with sterne look answered thus : Hang consideration . When you are hanged all , England is able to furnish me with more I have courage to fetch them in . How durst you only entertaine a grumbling syllable in my cōmand ? In me great Mavors spake , my voyce did eccho in your eares his thunder , and whilst you like so many seaborne Tritons armed onely with the trumpet of our iniunction you thinke you are safe now : who durst but dispute it or make it questionable , if this moment I charge ye from yon hanging cliffe that glases his rugged forehead in the neighbour lake to throw your selves downe head long : Or like fagots to fill the ditches of defended forts while on your backs I march up to the breach . One stout souldier answered , that would not I , ( which forc'd the captaine for to frown ) but yet said the souldier : I dare as much as any of great Brittaines boldest souldiers . At which the Captaine answered , Adde one syllable more , thou dost pronounce a sentence that Earthquake-like will swallow thee : but yet obey mee according to my minde and I am yours . With a unanimus consent they thus answered : Thy flatteries we dispise , thus spit at them , and scorne them , and being arm'd in the assurance of our innocent vertue , wee stamp upon all doubts , all feares , all tortures , thy barbarous , cruelty , or villany can shewe upon us : thou art false , falser than Romish religion , more savage than the beat or she Lyon would of her whelps , we have been long burthened with the yoke of your tyrannizing command , and now at length are resolved to shake it off , we doe intend to make no Idol of you , nor as our late Temporizers did to the Altar , bow and bend to you any more upon these tearmes , for since you seeme to forget your love to us , we scorne to tender our servie to you : At which like so many ravening wolves to devour a sheepe or lamb , so ran they upon him and tooke away his life . He exercised Tyrannie over them , and they inhumanity over him , they acted their parts tragically , and he died most miserably . Alas ! who knowes whither with his body they slew his soul also . Commanders of what degree soever , mark this my admonition , Let not your rage , excell reason let not pride oversway you which is a vice by which many fall . Let not your thought be lifted up higher than it becomes . If men be your servants , make them not your slaves , for fierie spirits are not soon quenched witnes the fierce fire which was kindled against this Captaine . It is scarce within the compasse of patience to endure the tyrannie of a King , much lesse a Kings servant . As it is the part of a King parcere subiectis , so it is also Vibellare superbos . Who plucke downe the proud , such whose spirits and ambitious thoughts the highest sphere will not containe ▪ with Icaris his wings , many will soare aloft , although the son melt the wax , and they Christen more seas ; also there are many fool hardy , or rather arrogant Phaetons , whose ambitious minde , will desire to rule Phaebus hi● horses , although they burne the world , the little world I meane , their own soules . I have done with my admonition to Commanders , now in a few lines I will admonish all common Souldiers , and so conclude . You which are common Souldiers let obedience steer your actions ; let not rebellion lurke privily in your hearts , I say make not your hearts like so many closets , to keepe privy conspiracies hid , for rebellion is a horrid crime which God will punish either in this world or the world to come , be sure you obey your King , and bee not disobedient to your commanders ; if they be bad pray unto God to mend them , but doe not you with your unpartiall sword end them . Let this rebellious uproar at Hull be a cause to make others civil , llet their enormities , make others cease to be vicious : let their cruelty teach others to be mercifull : let their malice bee a cause of others love : This GOD of his gracious mercy grant : Amen . ●INIS .
