Hugh peter's:  
WE here present to your view, the grand Canale or common-shore of all fanatical principles, Geneva's Calvinism, Munster's Revelations, Amsterdam's Toleration, New-england's preciseness, all bound up in one volume, and abridged in this Epitome.  
He has had the luck to outrun all his companions that started with him, he has left Mr. Case but just in sight, which is as much as he desires or deserves. Roaring Marshal he quite out-breathed, and to say the truth was the better bull of the two, for he could low the full uddered pursed Kine, the zealous women, into Guildhall mint, while Marshal rambled up and down the large field of Rebellion, with strained and wrenched Divinity, not minding the fruitfulness of the Parliaments Cattle, nor could make uses and Applications from Votes of the Houses.  
It were impossible to match him. Peter Sterry can blaspheme, and aver it on his Knowledge, that Oliver was on the right hand &c. when peter's by his Familiar was ascertained he dwelled at the sign of the Left handed Goat, and sung a Dirge to Old Nick for his patron's requiem; Saltmarsh had also an excellent faculty of principling and persuading the Army, and rose to a very great Credit and Authority among them, even to be taken for a Prophet, but when the time of Oliver's appearance came, he made room, and gave place to this venerable Emissary the Apostle St. peter's.  
This Reverend Gentleman, has been a great fundamental maker, a Searcher of the rubbish of the three ruined kingdoms, to which his immense parts made him very useful, as did his other large gear commend him, and qualify him for the holy Zealous sisters.  
He quarrelled with the Presbyters, first, because they were madder than himself, and knew not what they would have, when his bent was to have no Government, and yet every good thing beside; and secondly, because they had no more plate, nor rings, nor jewels, to sacrifice to Bell and the Dragon, the Good old cause, that his Priesthood might be maintained, and the Parliament Gospel and Ministry propagated.  
Mr. Foxely of sepulchers Parish, was his most bosom Friend for they two would lie and tell Stories by one and the same instinct, and the one was second to the other in all their juggles and impostures, if the one Romanced of a Victory a Sunday, at 40. miles' distance, the other would give you the particulars at a repetition that night, and so a lying Spirit was put into the mouth of Civicus the Scout, Dove, Post, all the Mercuries, the puny Chroniclers of the times, which did highly advance the credit and reputation of the arms and strength of the Rebellion.  
Certainly he was the bravest Ambidexter of his time, and this blinded age, or that ever was among us dull Northern people; and among the multitude of his Tricks, I shall commend to the Hocusses of Bartholomew Fair, for their information and edification, this Legerdemain (for it is supposed it will hardly be practicable any more in the Pulpit;) That's this, His great mission from the Parliament, (when he had done his utmost here with the Londoners) was to stir up all the godly and well affected in the several Countries, to a liberal contribution for the defence and support of their cause; to compass and effect his errand, he see there was no better way then by provoking them (by way of emulation) with other places large and signal gifts and loans: To which purpose, when he preached, which was always on that Subject of matter of money, he wore a pair of Breeches without Pockets, only the holes were cut in them, (and his Auditory being most women, after he had thundered at the Cavaleirs, and frighted them with the terrible characters he gave them) out at length comes a whole bunch of rings, which he had hung on his codpiece button, and my beloved quoth he, these Rings the Women of such a Town gave me, and after he had shaked them a while in one hand, then pretending he put them up, standing upright in the Pulpit, he took them through his Breeches in the other, and dearly beloved Sisters quoth he, these the godly zealous Women of another Town gave me, to subdue the wicked ungodly Cavaliers: and this Country cheat brought in a great deal of grist to his Mill. Such a thorough paced shaver too, that he never fell into any disgust with any of the usurped powers, all the time of his late horrid Anarchy, but what was merely pretended and out of design, viz. when Oliver had a pique at any of the swarm of Sects, that multiplied during his time, and were the right hand of his power; for than Hugh was to be in disgrace; and his disfavour at that barbarous Court, was trust enough with any of the prick-eared Brethren, to admit him into their Counsels,  
He went (for the Character of his Religion) under the general notion of an Independent, a Neuter betwixt Feake and Simpson, and Philip Nye and Sterry, while the aforesaid Feak began to bandy against Oliver, for than he screwed himself into high favour with fiding with his highness's Nose, and was made Chaplain Errant or in Ordinary to him.  
He was one of the pretended Judges for probate of Wills, and granting administrations, at the same time the greatest solicitor at Whitehall, and upon the business of Hispaniola and Dunkirk, was employed to preach Courage into the Soldiery. A most indefatigable maker of Addresses to Snout from the Army and other well affected people, which were well repaid him in several grants to Petitions which he managed, so that he licked his fingers sweetly, and if he did any thing for the Female Sex, which were often his clients, he would be sure to have a feeling.  
He was an absolute Ubiquitary before his late Confinement, a fellow of a very capacious intellect, and by his Travels, and the help of a good memory, well versed in any thing but Honesty and Conscience.  
His Caprichio's and whimsies in the Pulpit where he played Presto with the Bible, were certainly out of design to scandalize Learning, and make that sacred place of the Oracle a la mode to Stage-play, He was the first that ever made a Sermon out of a news Book.  
He had also an extraordinary Faculty of modelling, and was very much for that manner of Government, which the Jews used under the Law (and He and Philip Nye were great Sticklers by Commission from Cromwell for the readmission of them into England, as being excellent sponges for Nolls Necessities.) To which purpose he writ a Book called Good Work for a good Magistrate, full of chimaeras and strange invention, but the main drift is the Suppression and abolition of all manner of Learning, as in p. 33. (This being done (saith he) it is very adviseable to burn all old Records, yea even those in the Tower, the Monuments of Tyranny:) no doubt this Gimcrack maker, would willingly all the late Records were burnt also, wherein his good name has had such often occasion to be mentioned and registered.  
That sixth of December 1648. when Pride secluded 40. Members of the House of Commons, and carried them into Hell at Westminster, where they lay upon, the bare boards, Hugh peter's took a List of them standing by the Door, as they passed into the Room, with a Sword under his Arm. And the next Lord's Day, in a place in Northamptonshire (for he flew up and down like wildfire to promote the murder of the King) to vilify the Honest Patriots of the Parliament, who opposed that detestable Design, in one of his freaks diving into the Pulpit, he told the people he had been in Hell, and there was a number of Parliament men there, and that they might believe it to be as true as this Gospel, showing a Table Book, bound up like a Testament.  
It is impossible to recite or remember half of his feats of Activity, had they been harmless ones, and not polluted with blood, they had outdone Scogan or Cottington. Such a Mercurial piece of Mischief our Annals afford not. There is not a place of note in the Three kingdoms, where this priest Errant hath not been; as for Wales, Vavasour Powel and he, had measured it out in two halves for themselves, only an Ecclesiastical Tribute reserved to Major General Harrison the Deputy to the fifth Monarch, out of those Mountains of Moab.  
He is now run to the end of his rope, he hath trampled so long upon the Crown while the thorns of it (of his and his Complices grafting) have pricked his feet to the quick. So desperate a thing it is, to kick against the pricks. So e'en take him Derrick, and set up his whimsical head for a weathercock upon London-Bridge.
