Speeches
in

,
on

day
of
Iune
,
in
the
yeare
1637.
At
the
Censure
of
those
three
worthy
Gentlemen
,
Dr.
Bastwick
,
Mr.
Burton
,
and
Mr.
Prynne
.
BEtweene
eight
and
nine
a
clocke
in
the
morning
(
the
14.
of
Iune
)
the
Lords
being
set
in
their
places
in
the
said
Court
of
Starre-chamber
,
and
casting
their
eyes
upon
the
Prisoners
,
then
at
the
Bar
,
Sr.
Iohn
Finch
(
chiefe
Iustice
of
the
Common
Pleas
)
began
to
speake
after
this
manner
:
Sr.
Iohn
Finch
.
I
had
thought
M.
Prynne
had
had
no
eares
,
but
me
thinkes
hee
hath
eares
,
which
caused
many
of
the
Lords
to
take
the
stricter
view
of
him
;
and
for
their
better
satisfaction
,
the
Usher
of
the
Court
was
commanded
to
turne
up
his
haire
,
&
shew
his
eares
:
Upon
the
sight
wherof
the
Lords
were
displeased
they
had
beene
formerly
no
more
cut
off
;
and
cast
out
some
disgracefull
words
of
him
.
To
which
M.
Prynne
replied
;
M.
Pryn.
My
Lords
,
there
is
never
a
one
of
your
Honours
,
but
would
be
sorry
to
have
your
eares
as
mine
are
.
The
Lord
Keeper
replied
againe
;
L.
Keeper
.
In
good
faith
,
hee
is
some
what
sawcy
.
M.
Pryn.
I
hope
(
said
M.
Prynne
)
your
Honours
will
not
be
offended
,
I
pray
God
give
you
eares
to
heare
.
L.
Keeper
The
busines
of
the
day
(
said
the
Lord
Keeper
)
is
to
proceed
on
the
Prisoners
at
the
Barr.
M.
Pryn.
M.
Prynne
then
humbly
desired
the
Court
to
give
him
leave
to
make
a
motion
or
two
,
which
being
graunted
,
he
mooves
,
First
,
that
their
Honours
would
be
pleased
to
accept
of
a
crosse
Bill
against
the
Prelates
,
signed
with
their
owne
hands
,
being
that
which
stands
with
the
Iustice
of
the
Court
,
which
he
humbly
craved
,
and
so
tendred
it
.
L.
Keeper
As
for
your
crosse
Bill
,
it
is
not
the
busines
of
the
day
;
Hereafter
if
the
Court
shall
see
just
cause
,
and
that
it
savours
not
of
Libelling
,
wee
may
accept
of
it
;
for
my
part
I
have
not
seene
it
,
but
have
heard
somewhat
of
it
.
M.
Pryn.
I
hope
your
Honours
will
not
refuse
it
,
being
it
is
on
his
Majesties
behalfe
;
wee
are
his
Majesties
Subjects
,
and
therefore
require
the
Iustice
of
the
Court.
L.
Keeper
But
this
is
not
the
busines
of
the
day
.
M.
Pryn.
Why
then
,
My
Lords
,
I
have
a
second
motion
,
which
I
humbly
pray
your
Honours
to
graunt
;
which
is
,
That
your
Lordships
will
be
pleased
to
dismisse
the
Prelates
,
here
now
sitting
,
from
having
any
voyce
in
the
censure
of
this
cause
,
(
being
generally
knowne
to
be
Adversaries
)
as
being
no
way
agreeable
with
equity
or
reason
that
they
,
who
are
our
Adversaries
,
should
bee
our
Iudges
:
Therefore
wee
humbly
crave
,
they
may
be
expunged
out
of
the
Court.
L.
Keeper
In
good
faith
,
it
's
a
sweet
motion
,
is
't
not
?
Herein
you
are
become
Libellous
.
And
if
you
should
thus
Libell
all
the
Lords
and
Reverend
Iudges
,
as
you
doe
the
most
Reverend
Prelates
,
by
this
your
Plea
,
you
would
have
none
to
passe
sentence
upon
you
for
you
Libelling
,
because
they
are
parties
.
M.
Pryn.
Vnder
correction
(
My
Lord
)
this
doth
not
hold
:
Your
Honour
need
not
put
that
for
a
certainty
,
which
is
an
uncertainty
;
we
have
nothing
to
say
to
any
of
your
Honours
,
but
onely
to
the
Prelates
.
L.
Keeper
Well
,
proceed
to
the
busines
of
the
day
;
Read
the
Information
.
Which
was
read
,
being
very
large
;
and
these
five
Bookes
annexed
thereunto
(
viz.
)
a
Booke
of
D.
Bastwicks
,
written
in
Latin
.
The
second
,
a
little
Booke
,
intituled
,
Newes
from
Ipswich
.
The
third
intitled
,
A
Divine
Tragedy
,
Recording
Gods
fearefull
judgements
on
Sabbath-breakers
.
The
fourth
,
Mr.
Burtons
Booke
,
intituled
,
An
Apology
of
an
Appeale
to
the
Kings
most
Excellent
Majesty
,
with
two
Sermons
for
God
and
the
King
,
preached
on
the
fifth
of
November
last
.
The
fifth
and
last
,
Dr.
Bastwickes
Letany
.
The
Kings
Counsell
(
being
five
)
tooke
each
of
them
a
severall
Booke
,
and
descanted
there
at
the
Barre
upon
them
,
according
to
their
pleasure
.
M.
Attorney
.
Mr.
Attorney
began
first
with
D.
Bastwickes
Latin
Booke
,
picking
out
here
&
there
particular
conclusions
,
that
best
served
for
his
owne
ends
,
(
so
did
all
the
other
Counsell
out
of
the
former
other
Bookes
)
to
the
great
abuse
of
the
Authors
,
as
themselves
there
immediately
complain'd
,
intreating
them
to
reade
the
foregoing
grounds
,
upon
which
the
said
conclusions
depended
,
without
which
they
could
not
understand
the
true
meaning
of
them
.
Serjeant
.
Next
unto
the
Attorney
,
Serjeant
Whitfeild
fals
upon
Reverend
M.
Burtons
Booke
,
who
vented
much
bitternes
against
that
unreprooveable
Booke
(
as
all
that
read
it
with
an
honest
and
orthodox
heart
may
clearely
perceive
)
swearing
:
In
good
faith
,
My
Lords
,
there
is
never
a
page
in
this
Booke
,
but
deserves
a
heavier
and
deeper
Censure
then
this
Court
can
lay
upon
him
.
Next
followed
A.
B.
who
in
like
manner
descanted
upon
the
Newes
from
Ipswich
,
charging
it
to
be
full
of
pernitious
lyes
,
and
especially
vindicating
the
honor
of
Mathew
Wren
,
Bishop
of
Norwich
,
as
being
a
learned
,
pious
,
and
Reverend
Father
of
the
Church
.
M.
Littleton
.
In
the
fourth
place
,
followes
the
Kings
Solicitor
,
who
acts
his
part
upon
the
Divine
Tragedy
;
To
which
part
of
it
,
concerning
Gods
judgements
on
Sabbath-breakers
,
he
had
little
to
say
,
but
onely
put
it
off
with
a
scoffe
;
saying
,
That
they
sate
in
the
Seate
of
God
,
who
judged
those
accidents
which
fell
out
upon
persons
suddainly
strooken
,
to
be
the
judgement
of
God
for
Sabbath
breaking
,
or
words
to
the
like
effect
:
but
enlarged
himselfe
upon
that
passage
,
which
reflected
upon
that
late
Reverend
(
as
he
termed
him
)
and
learned
Professor
of
the
Law
,
and
his
Majesties
faithfull
Servant
M.
William
Noy
,
his
Majesties
late
Attorney
,
who
(
as
hee
said
)
was
most
shamefully
abused
by
a
slaunder
layd
upon
him
;
which
was
,
That
it
should
be
reported
,
That
Gods
judgement
fell
upon
him
for
so
eagerly
prosecuting
that
innocent
person
M.
Prynne
;
which
judgement
was
this
;
That
he
,
laughing
at
M.
Prynne
,
while
hee
was
suffering
upon
the
Pillory
,
was
strooke
with
an
issue
of
blood
in
his
privy
part
,
which
by
all
the
art
of
man
could
never
bee
stopped
unto
the
day
of
his
death
,
which
was
soone
after
.
But
the
truth
of
this
my
Lords
(
saith
he
)
you
shall
finde
to
be
as
probable
as
the
rest
;
for
we
have
here
three
or
foure
Gentlemen
of
good
credit
and
ranke
,
to
testify
upon
oath
,
that
hee
had
that
issue
long
before
,
and
thereupon
made
a
shew
,
as
if
he
would
call
for
them
in
before
the
Lords
,
to
witnesse
the
truth
thereof
,
with
these
particular
words
,
Make
roome
for
the
Gentlemen
to
come
in
there
,
but
no
one
witnesse
was
seene
to
appeare
:
Which
was
pretty
delusion
,
and
worth
all
your
observations
that
read
it
:
and
so
concluded
(
as
the
rest
)
that
this
Booke
also
deserved
a
heavy
and
deepe
Censure
.
Mr.
Harbert
.
Lastly
,
followes
M.
Harbert
,
whose
descant
was
upon
Dr.
Bastwickes
Letanie
,
picking
out
one
or
two
passages
therein
,
and
so
drawing
thence
his
conclusion
,
that
jointly
with
the
rest
,
it
deserved
a
heavy
Censure
.
The
Kings
Counsell
having
all
spoken
what
they
could
,
the
Lord
Keeper
said
to
the
Prisoners
at
the
Barre
:
Lord
Keeper
.
You
heare
Gentlemen
,
wherewith
you
are
charged
;
and
now
,
least
you
should
say
,
you
cannot
have
libertie
to
speake
for
your selves
,
the
Court
gives
you
leave
to
speake
what
you
can
,
with
these
conditions
:
First
,
That
you
speake
within
the
bounds
of
modesty
.
Secondly
,
That
your
speeches
bee
not
Libellous
.
They
all
three
answered
:
Prisoners
.
They
hoped
so
to
order
their
speech
as
to
be
free
from
any
immodest
or
libellous
speaking
.
Lord
Keeper
.
Then
speake
a
Gods
name
,
and
shew
cause
why
the
Court
should
not
proceed
in
Censure
(
as
taking
the
cause
pro
confesso
)
against
you
?
M.
Pryn.
My
Honourable
good
Lords
,
such
a
day
of
the
moneth
,
there
came
a
Subpoena
from
your
Honours
,
to
enter
my
appearance
in
this
Court
;
which
being
entred
,
tooke
forth
a
copy
of
the
Information
,
which
being
taken
,
I
was
to
draw
my
Answere
,
which
I
endeavoured
to
doe
,
but
being
shut
up
close
prisoner
,
I
was
deserted
of
all
meanes
,
by
which
I
should
have
done
it
;
for
I
was
no
sooner
served
with
the
Subpoena
,
but
I
was
shortly
after
shut
up
close
prisoner
,
with
suspention
of
Pen
,
Inke
and
Paper
;
which
close
imprisonment
did
eat
up
such
a
deale
of
my
time
,
that
I
was
hindred
the
bringing
in
of
my
Answer
.
You
did
assigne
me
Counsell
,
't
is
true
,
but
they
neglected
to
come
to
me
,
and
I
could
not
come
to
them
,
being
under
lock
and
key
.
Then
upon
motion
in
Court
,
yee
gaue
me
liberty
to
goe
to
them
;
but
then
presently
after
that
motion
(
I
know
not
for
what
cause
,
nor
upon
whose
commaund
)
I
was
shut
up
againe
:
and
then
I
could
not
compell
my
Counsell
to
come
to
me
,
&
my
time
was
short
,
and
I
had
neither
Pen
nor
Incke
,
nor
Servant
to
do
any
thing
for
me
,
for
my
Servant
was
then
also
kept
close
prisoner
under
a
Pursevants
hands
;
This
was
to
put
impossibilities
upon
mee
.
Then
upon
a
second
motion
for
Pen
&
Inke
(
which
was
graunted
me
)
I
drew
up
some
Instructions
,
&
in
a
fortnight
time
sent
40.
sheetes
to
my
Councell
;
suddainly
after
I
drew
up
40.
sheetes
more
,
and
sent
to
them
;
My
Lord
,
I
did
nothing
but
by
the
advise
of
my
Counsell
,
by
whom
I
was
ruled
in
the
drawing
up
of
all
my
answer
,
and
payd
him
twice
for
drawing
it
,
and
some
of
my
Counsell
would
have
set
their
hands
to
it
.
Here
is
my
Answer
,
I
tender
it
upon
my
oath
,
which
your
Lordships
cannot
deny
with
the
Iustice
of
the
Court.
Lord
Keeper
.
Wee
can
give
you
a
President
,
that
this
Court
hath
proceeded
&
undertaken
a
cause
pro
confesso
for
not
putting
in
an
Answeare
in
six
dayes
;
you
have
had
a
great
deale
of
favour
shewed
in
affording
you
longer
time
,
&
therefore
the
Court
is
free
from
all
calumny
or
aspersion
,
for
rejecting
your
Answer
,
not
signed
with
the
Counsels
hands
.
M.
Pryn.
But
one
word
or
two
(
my
Lords
)
I
desire
your
Honours
to
heare
me
;
I
put
a
case
in
Law
,
that
is
often
pleaded
before
your
Lordships
,
One
man
is
bound
to
bring
in
two
witnesses
,
if
both
,
or
one
of
them
faile
,
that
hee
cannot
bring
them
in
,
doth
the
Law
(
my
Lords
)
make
it
the
mans
act
?
You
assigned
me
two
Counsellors
;
one
of
them
failed
,
I
cannot
compell
him
;
Here
now
he
is
before
you
,
let
him
speake
,
if
I
have
not
used
all
my
endeavours
to
have
had
him
signed
it
(
which
my
other
Counsell
would
haue
done
,
if
this
would
haue
set
his
hand
to
it
with
him
)
and
to
have
put
in
long
since
.
Counsell
.
My
Lord
,
there
was
so
long
time
spent
ere
I
could
doe
any
thing
;
after
I
was
assigned
his
Councell
,
that
it
was
impossible
his
Answere
could
bee
drawne
up
in
so
short
a
time
as
was
allotted
;
for
after
long
expectation
,
seeing
he
came
not
to
me
,
I
went
to
him
,
where
I
found
him
shut
up
close
prisoner
,
so
that
I
could
not
have
accesse
to
him
:
Whereupon
I
motioned
to
the
Lieftenant
of
the
Tower
,
to
have
free
libertie
of
speech
with
him
concerning
his
aunswear
;
which
being
graunted
mee
,
I
found
him
very
willing
&
desirous
to
have
it
drawne
up
;
whereupon
I
did
moove
in
the
Court
for
Pen
and
Paper
,
which
was
graunted
,
the
which
hee
no
sooner
had
gotten
,
but
hee
set
himselfe
to
draw
up
Instructions
,
and
in
a
short
time
,
sent
me
40
sheetes
;
and
soone
after
I
received
40
more
;
but
I
found
the
Answer
so
long
,
of
such
a
nature
,
that
I
durst
not
set
my
hand
to
it
,
for
feare
of
giving
your
Honours
distast
.
M.
Pryn.
My
Lords
,
I
did
nothing
,
but
according
to
the
direction
of
my
Counsell
,
only
I
spake
mine
owne
words
,
my
answear
was
drawne
up
by
his
consent
,
it
was
his
owne
act
,
and
hee
did
approove
of
it
;
and
if
he
will
be
so
base
à
Coward
,
to
doe
that
in
private
which
he
dares
not
acknowledge
in
publick
,
I
will
not
such
a
sin
lye
on
my
conscience
,
let
it
rest
with
him
.
Here
is
my
Answer
,
which
,
though
it
be
not
signed
with
their
hands
,
yet
here
I
tender
it
upon
my
oath
,
which
you
cannot
in
Iustice
deny
.
L.
Keeper
.
But
Mr.
Prynne
,
the
Court
desires
no
such
long
Answer
;
Are
you
guilty
or
not
guilty
?
M.
Pryn.
My
good
Lord
,
I
am
to
Answer
in
a
defensive
way
,
Is
here
any
one
,
that
can
witnes
any
thing
against
me
?
Let
him
come
in
.
The
Law
of
God
standeth
thus
;
that
a
man
is
not
to
be
condemned
,
but
under
the
mouth
of
two
or
three
witnesses
.
Here
is
no
witnesse
comes
in
against
me
,
my
Lord
,
neither
is
there
in
all
the
Information
one
clause
that
doth
particularly
fall
on
me
,
but
onely
in
generall
,
there
is
no
Booke
laid
to
my
charge
.
And
shall
I
be
condemned
for
a
particular
act
,
when
no
accusation
of
any
particular
act
can
bee
brought
against
mee
?
This
were
most
unjust
and
wicked
.
Here
I
tender
my
aunswere
to
the
Information
upon
my
oath
;
My
Lord
,
you
did
impose
impossibilities
upon
me
,
I
could
doe
no
more
then
I
was
able
.
L.
Keeper
.
Well
,
holde
your
peace
:
your
answere
comes
too
late
.
Speake
you
Dr.
Bastwick
.
Dr.
Bast
.
My
Honorable
Lords
,
Mee
thinks
you
looke
like
an
Assembly
of
Gods
,
and
sit
in
the
place
of
God
;
yee
are
called
the
Sonnes
of
God
:
And
since
I
have
compared
you
to
Gods
,
give
me
leave
a
little
to
paralell
the
one
with
the
other
,
to
see
whither
the
comparison
betweene
God
and
you
doth
hold
in
this
noble
and
righteous
cause
.
This
was
the
car●iage
of
Almighty
God
in
the
cause
of
Sodome
,
Before
hee
would
pronounce
sentence
,
or
execute
judgement
,
he
would
first
come
downe
,
and
see
whether
the
crime
was
altogether
according
to
the
cry
that
was
come
up
.
And
with
whom
doth
the
Lord
consult
,
when
he
came
downe
?
With
his
Servant
Abraham
,
and
hee
gives
the
reason
;
for
I
know
(
saith
hee
)
that
Abraham
will
commaund
his
children
&
household
after
him
,
that
they
shall
keepe
the
way
of
the
Lord
to
doe
Iustice
&
Iudgment
.
My
good
Lords
,
thus
stands
the
case
between
your
Honours
and
us
this
day
;
there
is
a
great
cry
come
up
into
your
eares
against
us
from
the
Kings
Attourney
;
bee
now
pleased
to
descend
and
see
if
the
crime
be
according
to
the
cry
,
and
consult
with
God
(
not
the
Prelates
being
the
adversary
part
,
and
;
as
it
is
apparant
to
all
the
World
doe
proudly
set
themselves
against
the
wayes
of
God
,
and
from
whom
none
can
expect
Iustice
or
Iudgement
)
and
with
righteous
men
,
will
be
impartiall
on
either
side
,
before
you
proceed
to
censure
:
which
censure
you
cannot
passe
on
us
without
great
unjustice
before
you
heare
our
Answers
read
:
Here
is
my
Answer
,
which
I
here
tender
upon
my
oath
;
My
good
Lords
;
give
us
leave
to
speake
in
our
owne
defence
;
wee
are
not
conscious
to
our selves
,
of
any
thing
we
have
done
that
deserves
a
Censure
this
day
in
this
Honourable
Court
,
but
that
we
have
ever
laboured
to
maintaine
the
Honour
,
Dignity
,
&
Prerogative
Royall
of
our
Soveraigne
Lord
the
King
,
let
my
Lord
the
King
live
for
ever
.
Had
I
a
thousands
lives
,
I
should
thinke
them
all
too
little
to
spend
for
the
maintenance
of
his
Majesties
Royall
Prerogative
:
My
good
Lords
,
can
you
proceed
to
Censure
before
you
know
my
cause
?
I
dare
undertake
,
that
scarce
any
one
of
your
Lordships
have
read
my
Bookes
;
And
can
you
then
Censure
me
for
what
you
know
not
,
and
before
I
have
made
my
defence
?
O
my
Noble
Lords
!
is
this
righteous
judgement
?
This
were
against
the
Law
of
God
and
Man
,
to
condemne
a
Man
,
before
you
know
his
crime
.
The
Governour
before
whom
S.
Paul
was
carried
(
who
was
a
very
Heathen
)
would
first
heare
his
cause
before
he
would
passe
any
Censure
upon
him
;
And
doth
it
beseeme
so
Noble
and
Christian
Assembly
to
condemne
mee
,
before
my
Answer
be
perused
,
and
my
cause
knowne
?
Men
,
Brethren
,
and
Fathers
,
into
what
an
age
are
wee
fallen
?
I
desire
your
Honours
to
lay
aside
your
Censure
for
this
day
&
inquire
into
my
cause
,
heare
my
Answer
read
;
which
,
if
you
refuse
to
doe
I
here
professe
,
I
will
cloath
it
in
Roman
Buffe
,
and
send
it
abroad
unto
the
view
of
all
the
world
,
to
cleare
mine
innocency
,
and
shew
your
great
injustice
in
this
cause
.
Lord
Keeper
.
But
this
is
not
the
busines
of
the
day
;
Why
brought
you
not
in
your
Answer
in
due
time
?
D.
Bastwicke
.
My
Lord
,
a
long
time
since
I
tendred
it
to
your
Honour
,
I
failed
not
in
any
one
particular
:
And
if
my
Counsell
be
so
base
and
cowardly
,
that
they
dare
not
signe
it
for
feare
of
the
Prelates
(
as
I
can
make
it
appeare
)
therefore
have
I
no
Answer
?
My
Lord
,
here
is
my
Answer
,
which
,
though
my
Counsell
out
of
a
base
spirit
,
dare
not
set
their
hands
unto
,
yet
I
tender
it
upon
my
oath
.
L.
Keeper
But
M.
D.
you
should
have
beene
briefe
;
you
tendred
in
too
large
an
Answer
,
which
(
as
I
heard
)
is
as
Libellous
as
your
Bookes
.
D.
Bastw
.
No
,
my
Lord
,
it
is
not
Libellous
,
though
large
,
I
have
none
to
answer
for
me
but
my selfe
,
and
being
left
to
my selfe
,
I
must
plead
my
conscience
in
answer
to
every
circumstance
of
the
Information
.
L.
Keeper
What
say
you
M.
D.
Are
you
guilty
,
or
not
guilty
?
Answer
yea
or
no
,
you
needed
not
to
have
troubled
your selfe
so
much
about
so
large
an
Answer
.
D.
Bastwicke
.
I
know
,
none
of
your
Honours
have
read
my
Booke
;
And
can
you
with
the
Iustice
of
the
court
,
condemne
me
before
you
know
what
is
written
in
my
bookes
?
L.
Keeper
What
say
you
to
that
was
read
to
you
even
now
?
D.
Bast
.
My
Lord
,
he
that
read
it
did
so
murther
the
sence
of
it
,
that
had
I
not
knowne
,
what
I
had
written
,
I
could
not
tell
what
to
have
made
of
it
.
L.
Keeper
What
say
you
to
the
other
sentence
read
to
you
?
D.
Bast
.
That
was
none
of
mine
,
I
will
not
father
that
which
was
none
of
my
owne
.
L.
Dorset
.
Did
not
you
send
that
booke
,
as
now
it
is
,
to
a
Noble
mans
house
,
together
with
a
Letter
directed
to
him
?
D.
Bast
.
Yea
my
Lord
,
I
did
so
,
but
withall
you
may
see
in
my
Epistle
set
before
the
booke
,
I
did
at
first
disclaime
what
was
not
mine
;
I
sent
my
Booke
over
by
a
Dutch
Merchant
,
who
it
was
that
wrote
the
addition
I
doe
not
know
,
but
my
Epistle
set
to
my
Booke
,
made
manifest
what
was
mine
,
and
what
was
not
;
and
I
cannot
justly
suffer
for
what
was
none
of
mine
.
L.
Arund
.
My
Lord
,
you
heare
by
his
owne
speech
,
the
cause
is
taken
pro
confesso
.
L.
Keeper
Yea
,
you
say
true
my
Lord
.
D.
Bast
.
My
noble
Lord
of
Arundell
,
I
know
you
are
a
noble
Prince
in
Israel
,
&
a
great
Peere
of
this
Realme
;
There
are
some
honourable
Lords
in
this
Court
,
that
have
beene
forced
out
as
combatants
in
a
single
duell
,
it
is
betweene
the
Prelates
and
us
,
at
this
time
as
betweene
two
that
have
appointed
the
field
.
The
one
being
a
coward
goes
to
the
Magistrate
,
&
by
vertue
of
his
Authority
disarmes
the
other
of
his
weapons
,
&
gives
him
a
Bullrush
,
and
then
challenges
him
to
fight
.
If
this
be
not
base
cowardice
,
I
know
not
what
belongs
to
a
Souldier
.
This
is
the
case
betweene
the
Prelates
and
us
,
they
take
away
our
weapons
(
our
Answers
)
by
vertue
of
your
Authority
,
by
which
we
should
defend
our selves
,
and
yet
they
bid
us
fight
.
My
Lord
,
doth
not
his
savour
of
a
base
cowardly
spirit
?
I
know
,
my
Lord
,
there
is
a
Decree
gone
forth
,
for
my
Sentence
was
passed
long
since
,
to
cut
of
our
eares
.
Lord
Keeper
.
Who
shall
know
our
Censure
,
before
the
Court
passe
it
?
Doe
you
prophesy
of
your selves
?
D.
Bastwicke
.
My
Lord
,
I
am
able
to
proove
it
,
and
that
from
the
mouth
of
the
Prelates
owne
Servants
,
that
in
August
last
it
was
decreed
,
that
D.
Bastwicke
should
loose
his
eares
.
O
my
Noble
Lords
?
is
this
righteous
judgement
?
I
may
say
,
as
the
Apostle
once
said
,
What
,
whipp
a
Roman
?
I
have
beene
a
Souldier
,
able
to
lead
an
Army
into
the
field
,
to
fight
valiantly
for
the
honour
of
their
Prince
;
Now
I
am
a
Physitian
,
able
to
cure
Nobles
,
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
Emperors
:
And
to
curtolize
a
Romans
eares
,
like
a
Curre
,
O
my
honourable
Lords
!
is
it
not
too
base
an
act
for
so
noble
an
assembly
,
and
for
so
righteous
and
honourable
a
cause
?
The
cause
my
Lords
is
great
,
it
concernes
the
glory
of
God
,
the
honour
of
our
King
,
whose
Prerogative
we
labour
to
maintaine
and
to
set
up
in
a
high
manner
,
in
which
your
Honours
Liberties
are
engag'd
:
And
doth
not
such
a
cause
deserve
your
Lordships
consideration
,
before
you
proceed
to
Censure
?
Your
Honours
may
be
pleased
to
consider
,
that
in
the
last
cause
heard
and
censured
in
this
Court
,
between
St.
Iames
Bagge
,
&
the
Lord
Moone
,
wherein
your
Lordships
tooke
a
great
deale
of
paines
,
with
a
great
deale
of
patience
,
to
heare
the
Bills
on
both
sides
,
with
all
the
Answers
&
Depositions
largely
laid
open
before
you
;
which
cause
when
you
had
fully
heard
,
some
of
your
Honours
now
sitting
in
Court
,
said
,
You
could
not
in
conscience
proceed
to
Censure
,
till
you
had
taken
some
time
to
recollect
your selves
.
If
in
a
cause
of
that
nature
,
you
could
spend
so
much
time
,
and
afterwards
recollect
your selves
before
you
would
passe
Censure
:
How
much
more
should
it
moove
your
Honours
,
to
take
some
time
in
a
cause
wherein
the
glory
of
God
,
the
Prerogative
of
his
Majestie
your
Honours
dignity
,
and
the
Subjects
Liberty
is
so
largely
ingaged
?
My
good
Lords
,
it
may
fall
out
to
be
any
of
your
Lordships
cases
to
stand
as
Delinquents
at
this
Barre
,
as
we
now
doe
:
It
is
not
unknowne
to
your
Honours
,
the
next
cause
that
is
to
succeed
ours
,
is
touching
a
person
that
sometimes
hath
beene
in
greatest
power
in
this
Court
:
And
if
the
mutations
and
revolutions
of
persons
and
times
be
such
,
then
I
doe
most
humbly
beseech
your
Honours
to
looke
on
us
,
as
it
may
befall
your selves
.
But
if
all
this
will
not
prevaile
with
your
Honours
,
to
peruse
my
Bookes
;
and
heare
my
Answer
read
,
which
here
I
tender
upon
the
word
and
oath
of
a
Souldier
,
a
Gentleman
,
a
Scholler
,
and
a
Physitian
:
I
will
cloath
them
(
as
I
said
before
)
in
Roman
Buffe
,
and
disperse
them
throughout
the
Christian
world
,
that
future
generations
may
see
the
innocency
of
this
cause
,
and
your
Honours
unjust
proceedings
in
it
;
all
which
I
will
doe
,
though
it
cost
me
my
life
.
L.
Keeper
Mr.
D.
I
thought
you
would
be
angrie
.
Dr.
Bast
.
No
my
Lord
,
you
are
mis-taken
,
I
am
not
angrie
nor
passionate
;
all
that
I
doe
presse
,
is
,
that
you
would
be
pleased
to
peruse
my
Answer
.
D.
Keeper
Well
,
hold
your
peace
.
Mr.
Burton
,
what
say
you
?
Mr.
Burton
.
My
goods
Lords
,
your
Honours
(
it
should
seeme
)
doe
determine
to
Censure
us
,
and
take
our
cause
pro
confesso
,
although
we
have
laboured
to
give
your
Honours
satisfaction
in
all
things
:
My
Lords
,
what
you
have
to
say
against
my
Booke
,
I
confesse
I
did
write
it
,
yet
did
I
not
any
thing
out
of
intent
of
Commotion
or
Sedition
:
I
delivered
nothing
,
but
what
my
Text
led
me
too
,
being
chosen
to
suite
with
the
day
,
namely
,
the
fifth
of
November
;
the
word
were
these
,
&c.
L.
Keeper
M.
Burton
,
I
pray
stand
not
naming
Texts
of
Scripture
now
,
we
doe
not
send
for
you
to
preach
;
but
to
answer
to
those
things
that
are
objected
against
you
.
M.
Burt.
My
Lord
,
I
have
drawne
up
my
Answer
to
my
great
paines
and
charges
,
which
Answer
was
signed
with
my
Counsels
hands
,
and
received
into
the
Court
,
according
to
the
rule
and
Order
thereof
.
And
I
did
not
thinke
to
have
beene
called
this
day
to
a
Censure
,
but
have
had
a
legall
proceeding
by
way
of
Bill
and
Answer
.
L.
Keeper
Your
Answer
was
impertinent
.
M.
Burt.
My
Answer
(
after
it
was
entred
into
the
Court
)
was
referred
to
the
Judges
,
but
by
what
meanes
I
doe
not
know
,
whither
it
be
impertinent
,
and
what
cause
your
Lordships
had
to
cast
it
out
,
I
know
not
.
But
after
it
was
approved
of
;
and
received
,
it
was
cast
out
as
an
impertinent
Answer
.
L.
Finch
.
The
Iudges
did
you
a
good
turne
to
make
it
impertinent
,
for
it
was
as
Libellous
as
your
Booke
,
so
that
your
Answer
deserved
a
Censure
alone
.
L.
Keeper
What
say
you
Mr.
Button
,
are
you
guilty
,
or
not
?
M.
Burton
.
My
Lord
,
I
desire
you
not
onely
to
peruse
my
Booke
,
here
and
there
,
but
every
passage
of
it
.
L.
Keeper
Mr.
Burton
,
time
is
short
,
are
you
guilty
,
or
not
guilty
?
What
say
you
to
that
which
was
read
?
Doth
it
become
a
Minister
to
deliver
himselfe
in
such
a
rayling
and
scandalous
way
?
M.
Burton
.
In
my
judgement
,
and
as
I
can
proove
it
,
it
was
neither
rayling
not
scandalous
;
I
conceive
that
a
Minister
hath
a
larger
liberty
then
alwayes
to
goe
in
a
milde
straine
:
being
the
Pastor
of
my
people
,
whom
I
had
in
charge
,
and
was
to
instruct
,
I
supposed
it
was
my
duety
to
informe
them
of
those
innovations
that
are
crept
into
the
Church
,
as
likewise
of
the
danger
and
ill
consequence
of
them
:
As
for
my
answer
,
yee
blotted
out
what
yee
would
,
and
then
the
rest
which
made
best
for
your
owne
ends
,
you
would
have
to
stand
;
And
now
for
your
owne
turnes
and
renounce
the
rest
,
were
to
desert
my
cause
,
which
before
I
will
doe
,
or
desert
my
conscience
,
I
will
rather
desert
my
body
,
and
deliver
it
up
to
your
Lordships
,
to
doe
with
it
what
you
will
.
L.
Keeper
This
is
a
●lace
where
you
should
crave
mercy
and
favour
,
Mr.
Burton
,
and
not
stand
upon
such
termes
as
you
doe
.
M.
Burt.
There
wherein
I
have
offended
through
humane
frailty
,
I
crave
of
God
&
Man
pardon
:
And
I
pray
God
,
that
in
your
Sentence
,
you
may
so
Censure
us
,
that
you
may
not
sinne
against
the
Lord
.
Thus
the
prisoners
desiring
to
speake
a
little
more
for
themselves
,
were
commaunded
to
silence
.
And
so
the
Lord
proceeded
to
Censure
.
The
Lord
Cottingtons
Censure
.
I
Condemne
these
three
men
to
loose
their
eares
in
the
Pallaceyard
at
Westminster
;
To
be
fined
five
thousands
pounds
a
man
to
his
Majestie
:
And
to
perpetuall
prisonment
in
three
remote
places
of
the
Kingdome
,
namely
,
the
Castles
of
Carnaruan
,
Cornwall
,
and
Lancaster
.
The
Lord
Finch
added
to
this
Censure
.
MR.
Prynne
to
be
stigmatized
in
the
Cheekes
with
two
Letters
(
S
&
L
)
for
a
Seditious
Libeller
.
To
which
all
the
Lord
agreed
.
And
so
the
Lord
Keeper
concluded
the
Censure
.
THE
Execution
of
the
Lords
Censure
in
Starre-Chamber
upon
D.
Bastwijcke
,
M.
Prynne
,
and
M.
Burton
,
in
the
Pallace-yard
at
Westminster
,
the
30th.
day
of
Iune
last
1637.
at
the
spectation
whereof
the
number
of
people
was
so
great
(
the
place
being
very
large
)
that
it
caused
admiration
in
all
that
beheld
them
;
who
came
with
tender
affections
to
behold
those
three
renowned
Souldiers
and
Servants
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
came
with
most
undaunted
and
magnanimous
courage
thereunto
,
having
their
way
strawed
with
sweet
hearbes
from
the
house
out
of
which
they
came
to
the
Pillary
,
with
all
the
honour
that
could
bee
done
unto
them
.
Dr.
Bastwijcke
and
Mr.
Burton
first
meeting
,
they
did
close
one
in
the
others
armes
three
times
,
with
as
much
expressions
of
love
as
might
bee
,
rejoycing
that
they
met
at
such
a
place
,
upon
such
an
occasion
,
&
that
God
had
so
highly
honoured
them
,
as
to
call
them
forth
to
suffer
for
his
glorious
Truth
.
Then
immediately
after
,
M.
Prynne
came
,
the
D.
and
hee
saluting
each
other
,
as
M.
Burton
and
hee
did
before
.
The
D.
then
went
up
first
on
the
Scaffold
,
and
his
wife
immediately
following
,
came
up
to
him
,
and
like
a
loving
Spouse
saluted
each
care
with
a
kisse
,
and
then
his
mouth
;
whose
tender
love
,
boldnes
,
and
cheerefullnes
so
wrought
upon
the
peoples
affections
,
that
they
gave
marvailous
great
showte
for
joy
,
to
behold
it
.
Her
Husband
desired
her
not
to
bee
in
the
least
maner
dismay'd
at
his
suffrings
:
And
so
for
a
while
they
parted
,
she
using
these
words
:
Farewell
my
Deerest
,
be
of
good
comfort
,
I
am
nothing
dismay'd
.
And
then
the
D.
began
to
speake
these
words
.
There
are
many
that
are
this
day
Spectators
of
our
standing
here
,
Mr.
Prynne
shaking
the
Dr.
by
the
hand
,
desired
him
that
hee
might
speake
a
word
or
two
.
With
all
my
heart
,
sayd
the
Doctor
.
Te
cause
(
sayd
Mr.
Prynne
)
of
my
standing
here
,
is
,
for
not
bringing
in
my
Answer
,
for
which
my
cause
is
taken
pro
confesso
against
mee
.
What
endeavours
J
used
for
the
bringing
in
thereof
,
that
,
God
and
my
owne
conscience
,
and
my
Counsell
knowes
,
whose
cowardise
stands
upon
Record
to
all
ages
.
For
rather
then
J
will
have
my
cause
a
leading
cause
,
to
deprive
the
subjects
of
that
libertie
which
J
seek
to
maintaine
,
J
rather
expose
my
person
to
a
leading
example
,
to
beare
this
punishment
:
And
J
beseech
you
all
to
take
notice
of
their
proceedings
in
this
cause
,
when
J
was
served
with
a
Subpoena
into
this
Court
,
J
was
shut
up
close
prisoner
,
that
J
could
have
no
accesse
to
Counsell
,
nor
admitted
pen
,
inke
or
paper
to
draw
up
my
answere
by
my
Jnstructions
,
for
which
J
feed
them
twice
(
though
to
no
purpose
)
yet
when
all
was
done
,
my
Answer
would
not
be
accepted
into
the
Court
,
though
I
tendered
it
upon
my
oath
.
I
appeale
to
all
the
world
,
if
this
were
a
legall
or
just
proceeding
.
Our
accusation
is
in
point
of
Libell
(
but
supposedly
)
against
the
Prelates
:
to
cleere
this
now
,
I
will
give
you
a
little
light
what
the
Law
is
in
point
of
Libell
(
of
which
profession
I
have
sometimes
beene
,
and
still
professe
my selfe
to
have
some
knowledge
in
)
you
shall
finde
in
case
of
Libell
,
two
statutes
:
The
one
,
in
the
second
of
Queene
Mary
;
The
other
,
in
the
seventh
of
Queene
Elizabeth
.
That
in
the
second
of
Queene
Mary
,
the
extremity
and
heighth
of
it
runs
thus
:
That
,
if
a
Libeller
doth
goe
so
farre
and
so
high
as
to
Libel
against
King
or
Queene
,
by
denomination
,
the
high
and
extremity
of
the
Law
is
,
that
they
lay
no
greater
fine
on
him
then
an
hundred
pounds
,
with
a
moneths
imprisonment
,
And
no
corporall
Punishment
,
except
hee
doe
refuse
to
pay
his
fine
;
and
then
to
inflict
some
punishment
in
liewe
of
that
fine
,
at
the
moneths
end
.
Neither
was
this
Censure
to
be
passed
on
him
,
except
it
were
fully
prooved
by
two
witnesses
,
who
were
to
produce
a
certificat
of
their
good
demeanor
for
the
credit
of
their
report
,
or
else
confessed
by
the
Libeller
.
You
shall
finde
in
that
Statute
7.
Eliz.
some
further
addition
to
the
former
of
2.
Marie
,
and
that
onely
in
point
of
fine
&
punishment
,
and
it
must
still
reach
as
high
as
the
person
of
King
or
Queen
.
Here
this
statute
doth
set
a
fine
of
two
hundred
pounds
;
the
other
,
but
one
:
This
sets
three
moneths
emprisonment
;
the
former
but
one
:
So
that
therein
onely
they
differ
.
But
in
this
they
both
agree
,
namely
,
at
the
end
of
his
imprisonment
to
pay
his
fine
,
and
soo
to
goe
free
without
any
further
question
:
But
if
hee
refuse
to
pay
his
fine
,
then
the
Court
is
to
inflict
some
punishment
on
him
correspondent
to
his
fine
.
Now
,
see
the
disparity
between
those
times
of
theirs
,
and
ours
.
A
libeller
in
Queen
Maries
time
,
was
fined
but
an
hundred
pounds
,
in
Queen
Elizabeth
time
two
hundred
;
In
Queen
Maries
daeys
but
a
moneths
imprisonment
;
In
Queen
Elizabeths
three
moneths
;
and
not
so
great
a
fine
,
if
they
libelled
not
against
King
or
Queen
.
Formerly
the
greatest
fine
was
but
two
hundred
pounds
,
though
against
King
or
Queen
;
Now
five
thousand
pounds
,
though
but
against
the
Prelates
,
&
that
but
supposedly
,
which
cannot
be
prooved
:
Formerly
,
but
the
moneths
imprisonment
;
Now
perpetuall
imprisonment
:
Then
,
upon
paying
the
fine
,
no
corporall
punishment
was
to
be
inflicted
;
But
now
,
infamous
punishment
,
with
the
losse
of
blood
,
and
all
other
circumstances
that
may
aggravate
it
.
See
now
what
times
we
are
fallen
into
,
when
that
Libelling
(
if
it
were
so
)
against
Prelates
onely
,
shall
fall
higer
,
then
if
it
touched
Kings
and
Princes
?
That
which
I
have
to
speake
of
next
,
is
this
:
The
Prelates
finde
themselves
exceedingly
agrieved
and
vexed
against
what
we
have
written
concerning
the
usurpation
of
their
calling
,
where
indeed
we
declare
their
calling
not
to
be
Iure
divino
.
I
make
no
doubt
,
but
there
are
some
Intelligencers
or
Abbertors
within
the
hearing
,
whom
I
would
have
well
know
and
take
notice
of
what
I
now
say
.
I
here
in
this
place
make
this
offer
to
them
:
That
,
if
I
may
be
admitted
a
faire
dispute
,
on
faire
termes
,
for
my
cause
,
that
I
will
maintaine
,
and
doe
here
make
the
challenge
against
all
the
Prelates
in
the
Kings
Dominions
,
and
against
all
the
Prelates
in
Christendome
,
(
let
them
take
in
the
Pope
,
and
all
to
help
them
)
that
their
calling
is
not
Iure
Divino
.
I
will
speake
it
againe
;
I
make
the
challenge
,
against
all
the
Prelates
in
the
Kings
Dominions
,
and
all
Christendome
to
maintaine
,
that
their
calling
is
not
Iure
Divino
.
If
I
make
it
not
good
,
let
mee
bee
hanged
up
at
the
Hall-Gate
:
Where
upon
the
people
gave
a
great
shout
.
The
next
thing
that
I
am
to
speake
of
,
is
this
:
The
Prelates
find
themselves
exceedingly
agrieved
and
vext
against
what
I
have
written
in
point
of
Law
,
concerning
their
Writs
and
Proces
,
That
the
sending
forth
of
Writs
and
Proces
in
their
owne
name
,
is
against
all
Law
and
Iustice
,
and
doth
entrench
on
his
Majesties
Prerogative
Royall
,
and
the
Subjects
Liberties
.
And
here
now
I
make
a
second
challenge
against
al
the
Lawyers
in
the
Kingdom
in
way
of
fayre
Dispute
,
That
I
will
maintaine
,
the
Prelates
sending
forth
of
Writs
and
Proces
in
their
owne
names
,
to
be
against
all
Law
and
Iustice
,
and
entrencheth
on
his
Majesties
prerogative
Royall
,
and
subjects
Liberty
.
Lest
it
should
bee
forgotten
,
I
speake
it
again
,
I
here
challenge
all
the
whole
Society
of
the
Law
upon
a
fayre
dispute
,
to
maintaine
,
that
the
sending
forth
of
Writs
and
Proces
in
the
Prelates
owne
names
,
to
be
against
all
Law
and
Iustice
,
and
entrencheth
on
the
Kings
Prerogative
Royall
,
&
the
Subjects
Liberty
.
If
I
bee
not
able
to
make
it
good
,
let
mee
bee
put
to
the
tormentingest
death
they
can
devise
.
Wee
praise
the
Lord
,
wee
feare
none
but
God
and
the
King
:
Had
wee
respected
our
Liberties
wee
had
not
stood
here
at
this
time
:
it
was
for
the
generall
good
and
Liberties
of
you
all
,
that
we
have
now
thus
farre
engaged
our
own
Liberties
in
his
cause
.
For
did
you
know
,
how
deeply
they
have
entrenched
on
your
Liberties
in
point
of
Popery
;
If
you
knew
but
into
what
times
you
are
cast
,
it
would
make
you
looke
about
you
:
and
if
you
did
but
see
what
changes
and
revolutions
of
persons
,
causes
and
actions
,
have
beene
made
by
one
man
,
you
would
more
narrowly
looke
into
your
priviledges
,
and
see
how
farre
your
Liberty
did
lawfully
extend
and
so
maintaine
it
.
This
is
the
second
time
that
I
have
beene
brought
to
this
place
who
hath
beene
the
Author
of
it
,
I
thinke
you
all
well
know
:
For
the
first
time
,
if
I
could
have
had
leave
given
me
,
I
could
easily
have
cleered
my selfe
of
that
which
was
then
laid
to
my
charge
:
As
also
I
could
have
done
now
,
if
I
might
have
been
permitted
to
speake
.
That
booke
for
which
I
suffered
formerly
,
especially
for
some
particular
words
therin
written
,
which
I
quoted
out
of
Gods
word
,
and
ancient
Fathers
,
for
which
notwithstanding
,
they
passed
Censure
on
me
;
that
same
booke
was
twice
licensed
by
publicke
Authority
,
and
the
same
words
I
then
suffered
for
,
they
are
againe
made
use
of
,
and
applied
in
the
same
sence
by
Heylin
in
his
booke
lately
printed
,
and
dedicated
to
the
King
,
and
no
exceptions
taken
against
them
,
but
are
very
well
taken
.
Dr.
Bastwicke
.
Aye
(
said
D.
Bastwicke
)
and
there
is
another
Booke
of
his
licensed
,
wherein
he
rayles
against
us
three
at
his
pleasure
;
and
against
the
Martyrs
that
suffered
in
Queen
Maries
dayes
,
calling
them
Schismaticall
Hereticks
,
and
there
is
another
Booke
of
Pocklingtons
licensed
;
they
bee
as
full
of
lyes
as
dog
bee
full
of
fleas
,
but
were
the
presses
as
open
to
us
as
they
are
to
them
,
wee
would
pay
them
,
and
their
great
Master
that
upholds
them
,
and
charge
them
with
notorious
Blasphemy
.
M.
Pryn.
Said
Mr.
Prynne
,
You
all
at
this
present
see
,
there
be
no
degrees
of
men
exempted
from
suffering
:
Here
is
a
Reverend
Divine
for
the
soule
,
a
Phisition
for
the
Body
,
and
a
Lawyer
for
the
Estate
:
I
had
thought
they
would
have
let
alone
their
owne
Society
,
and
not
have
meddled
with
any
of
them
.
And
the
next
(
for
ought
I
know
)
may
bee
a
Bishop
.
You
see
they
spare
none
of
what
society
or
calling
soever
,
none
are
exemted
that
crosse
their
owne
ends
.
Gentlemen
,
looke
to
your selves
;
If
all
the
Martyrs
that
suffered
in
Queen
Maries
dayes
,
are
accounted
and
called
Schismaticall
hereticks
,
and
Factious
Fellowes
:
What
shall
we
looke
for
?
Yet
so
they
are
called
in
a
Booke
lately
come
forth
under
Authority
.
And
such
Factious
Fellowes
are
wee
,
for
discovering
a
Plot
of
Popery
.
Alas
poore
England
!
what
will
become
of
thee
,
if
thou
looke
not
the
sooner
into
thine
owne
Priviledges
,
and
maintainest
not
thine
owne
lawfull
Liberty
?
Christian
people
:
I
beseech
you
all
,
stand
firme
,
and
bee
zealous
for
the
cause
of
God
,
and
his
true
Religion
,
to
the
shedding
of
your
dearest
blood
,
otherwise
you
will
bring
your selves
,
and
all
your
posterities
,
into
perpetuall
bondage
and
slavery
.
Now
,
the
Executioner
being
come
,
to
seare
him
,
and
cut
of
his
eares
,
M.
Prynne
spake
these
words
to
him
:
Come
friend
,
Come
,
burne
mee
,
cu●
mee
,
I
feare
not
.
I
have
learn'd
to
feare
the
fire
of
hell
,
and
not
what
man
can
doe
unto
mee
:
Come
,
seare
mee
,
seare
mee
,
I
shall
beare
in
my
body
the
markes
of
the
Lord
Iesus
:
Which
the
bloody
Executioner
performed
with
Extraordinary
Cruelty
,
Heating
his
Iron
twice
,
to
Burne
One
Cheeke
:
And
cut
one
of
his
eares
so
close
,
that
hee
cut
off
a
piece
of
his
Cheeke
.
At
which
exquisit
torture
Hee
never
mooved
with
his
body
,
or
so
much
as
changed
his
Countenance
,
but
still
lookt
up
as
well
as
he
could
towards
Heaven
,
with
a
smiling
countenance
,
even
to
the
astonishment
of
all
the
beholders
.
And
uttering
(
assoone
as
the
Executioner
had
done
)
this
Heavenly
sentence
:
The
more
I
am
beaten
downe
,
the
more
am
I
lift
up
.
And
returning
from
the
execution
in

Mr.
Burtons
heavenly
and
most
comfortable
Speech
,
which
he
made
at
the
time
of
his
fuffering
,
both
before
and
while
he
stood
in
the
Pillary
,
which
was
something
distant
from
the
other
double
Pillary
,
wherein
Dr.
Bastwicke
and
Mr.
Prynne
stood
.
THE
night
before
his
suffering
,
about
eyght
a
clock
,
when
he
first
had
certaine
notice
thereof
,
upon
occasion
of
his
Wives
going
to
aske
the
Warden
,
whither
her
Husband
should
suffer
the
next
day
,
immediately
he
felt
his
spirits
to
be
raysed
to
a
farre
higher
pitch
of
resolution
and
courage
to
undergoe
his
sufferings
,
then
formerly
he
did
,
so
as
he
intreated
the
Lord
to
hold
up
his
spirits
at
that
heigth
all
the
next
day
in
his
sufferings
,
that
he
might
not
flagg
nor
faint
,
least
any
dishonour
might
come
to
his
Majestie
or
the
cause
:
And
the
Lord
heard
him
:
For
all
the
next
day
in
his
suffering
(
both
before
and
after
)
his
spirits
were
carried
aloft
as
it
were
upon
Eagles
wings
(
as
himselfe
said
)
farre
above
all
apprehension
of
shame
or
paine
.
The
next
morning
(
being
the
day
of
his
sufferings
)
hee
was
brought
to
Westminster
,
and
with
much
cheerefullnes
beeing
brought
into
the
Pallace-yard
unto
a
Chamber
that
looked
into
the
Yard
,
where
he
viewed
three
Pillaries
there
set
up
:
Me
thinkes
(
said
hee
)
I
see
Mount
Calvery
,
where
the
three
Crosses
(
one
for
Christ
,
and
the
other
two
for
the
two
theeves
)
were
pitched
:
And
if
Christ
were
numbred
among
theeves
,
shall
a
Christian
(
for
Christs
cause
)
thinke
much
to
be
numbred
among
Rogues
,
such
as
wee
are
condemned
to
be
?
Surely
,
if
I
be
a
Rogue
,
I
am
Christs
Rogue
,
and
no
mans
.
And
a
little
after
,
looking
out
at
the
casement
toward
the
Pillary
,
hee
sayd
:
I
see
no
difference
betweene
looking
out
of
this
square
window
,
and
yonder
round
hole
poyning
towards
the
Pillary
)
hee
said
:
It
is
no
matter
of
difference
,
to
an
honest
man
.
And
a
little
after
that
,
looking
some
what
wishly
upon
his
Wife
,
to
see
how
shee
did
take
it
;
shee
seemed
to
him
to
be
something
sadd
▪
to
whom
hee
thus
spake
:
Wise
,
why
art
thou
so
sadd
?
To
whom
shee
made
answer
;
Sweet
heart
,
I
am
not
sadd
:
No
,
said
hee
?
See
thou
be
not
,
for
I
would
not
have
thee
to
dishonour
the
day
,
by
shedding
one
teare
,
or
fetching
one
sigh
:
for
behold
therefore
thy
comfort
,
my
triumphant
Chariot
on
the
which
I
must
ride
for
the
honour
of
my
Lord
&
Master
:
And
never
was
wedding
day
so
welcome
and
joy
full
a
day
,
as
this
day
is
;
and
so
much
the
more
,
because
I
have
such
a
noble
Captaine
and
Leader
,
who
hath
gone
before
mee
with
such
undauntednes
of
Spirit
,
that
hee
sayth
of
himselfe
,
I
gave
my
backe
to
the
smiters
,
my
cheekes
to
the
nippers
,
they
pluckt
off
the
haire
,
I
hidd
not
my
face
,
from
shame
and
spitting
,
for
the
Lord
God
will
helpe
mee
;
therefore
shall
I
not
be
confounded
,
therefore
have
I
set
my
face
like
a
flint
,
and
I
know
I
shall
not
be
ashamed
.
At
length
being
carried
toward
the
Pillary
,
hee
met
D.
Bastwicke
at
the
foot
of
the
pillary
;
where
they
lovingly
saluted
and
embraced
each
other
;
and
parting
a
little
from
him
,
hee
returned
(
such
was
the
ardency
of
his
affection
)
and
most
affectionately
embraced
him
the
second
time
,
being
heartily
sorry
hee
missed
Mr.
Prynne
,
who
was
not
yet
come
before
hee
was
gonne
up
to
his
Pillary
,
which
stood
alone
next
the
Starre-Chamber
,
and
about
halfe
a
stones
cast
from
the
other
double
Pillary
,
wherein
the
other
two
stood
:
so
as
all
their
faces
looked
Southward
,
the
bright
Sun
all
the
while
for
the
space
of
two
howers
shining
upon
them
:
Being
ready
to
be
put
into
the
Pillary
standing
upon
the
Scaffold
,
he
spied
Mr.
Prynne
new
come
to
the
Pillary
,
&
Dr.
Bastwicke
in
the
Pillary
,
who
then
hasted
of
his
band
,
&
called
for
a
Handkercher
,
saying
:
What
,
shall
I
be
last
?
or
shall
I
be
ashamed
of
a
Pillary
for
Christs
,
who
was
not
ashamed
of
a
Crosse
for
mee
?
Then
being
put
into
the
Pillary
,
●e
sayd
:
Good
people
,
I
am
brought
hither
to
be
a
spectacle
to
the
world
,
to
Angels
,
and
men
.
And
howsoever
I
stand
here
to
undergoe
the
punishment
of
a
Rogue
,
yet
except
to
bee
a
faithfull
servant
to
Christ
,
&
a
loyall
Subject
to
the
King
,
be
the
property
of
a
rogue
,
I
am
no
Rogue
.
But
yet
if
to
bee
Christs
faithfull
Servant
,
and
the
Kings
loyall
Subject
,
deserve
the
punishment
of
a
Rogue
,
I
glory
in
it
,
and
I
blesse
my
God
,
my
conscience
is
cleare
,
&
is
not
stained
with
the
guilt
of
any
such
crime
,
as
I
have
beene
charged
with
,
though
otherwise
I
confesse
my selfe
to
be
a
man
subject
to
many
frailties
&
humane
infirmities
.
Indeed
,
that
Booke
intiteled
,
An
Apology
of
an
Appeale
with
sundry
Epistles
,
and
two
Sermons
,
for
God
and
the
King
,
charged
against
me
in
the
Information
,
I
have
,
and
doe
acknowledge
(
the
misprinting
excepted
)
to
be
mine
,
and
will
by
Gods
grace
never
disclaime
it
whilst
I
have
breath
within
mee
.
After
while
,
hee
having
a
Nosegay
in
his
hand
,
a
Bee
came
and
pitched
on
the
Nosegay
,
&
began
to
suck
the
flowers
very
savourly
,
which
hee
beholding
and
well
observing
,
said
:
Doe
yee
not
see
this
poore
Bee
?
She
hath
found
out
this
very
place
to
suck
sweetnes
from
Christ
.
The
Bee
sucking
all
this
while
,
and
so
tooke
her
flight
.
By
and
by
,
hee
tooke
occasion
from
the
shining
of
the
Sunne
,
to
say
:
You
see
how
the
Sunne
shines
upon
us
,
but
that
shines
as
well
upon
the
evill
as
the
good
,
upon
the
just
and
unjust
,
but
that
the
Sonne
of
righteousnes
(
Iesus
Christ
,
who
hath
healing
under
his
wings
)
shines
upon
the
soules
and
consciences
of
every
true
beleever
onely
,
and
no
clowd
can
hide
him
from
us
,
to
make
him
ashamed
of
us
,
no
not
of
our
most
shamefull
sufferings
for
his
sake
:
And
why
should
wee
be
ashamed
to
suffer
for
his
sake
who
hath
suffered
for
us
?
All
our
sufferings
be
but
fleabitings
to
that
bee
endured
,
hee
endured
the
Crosse
,
and
despised
the
shame
,
and
is
set
on
the
right
hand
of
God
:
Hee
is
a
most
excellent
patterne
for
us
to
looke
upon
,
that
,
treading
his
stepps
,
and
suffering
with
him
,
wee
may
bee
glorified
with
him
.
And
what
can
wee
suffer
,
wherein
hee
hath
not
gone
before
us
,
even
in
the
same
kinde
?
Was
hee
not
degraded
,
when
they
scornefully
put
on
him
a
purple
Robe
,
a
Reede
into
his
hand
,
a
thorny
Crowne
upon
his
head
,
saluting
him
with
Hayle
King
of
the
Iewes
;
and
so
disrobed
him
againe
?
was
not
hee
deprived
,
when
they
smote
the
Shepherd
,
and
the
Sheepe
were
scattered
?
Was
not
violence
offered
to
his
sacred
person
,
when
hee
was
buffited
,
and
scourged
,
his
hands
and
his
feet
pierced
,
his
head
pricked
with
thornes
,
his
side
goared
with
a
Speare
,
&
c.
?
Was
not
the
Crosse
more
shamefull
,
yea
and
more
painfull
then
a
Pillary
?
Was
not
hee
stript
of
all
he
had
,
when
he
was
left
starke
naked
upon
the
Crosse
,
the
Souldiers
dividing
his
garments
,
and
casting
lots
upon
his
vesture
?
And
was
hee
not
confin'd
to
perpetuall
close
imprisonment
in
mans
imagination
,
when
his
body
was
layd
in
a
Tombe
,
and
the
Tombe
sealed
,
least
hee
should
breake
prison
,
or
his
Disciples
steale
him
away
?
And
yet
did
hee
not
rise
againe
,
and
thereby
brought
deliverance
and
victory
to
us
all
,
so
as
we
are
more
then
Conquerors
through
him
that
loved
us
?
Here
then
we
have
an
excellent
Patterne
indeed
.
And
all
this
hee
uttered
(
and
whatsoever
else
hee
spake
)
with
marvailous
alacrity
.
One
sayd
unto
Mr.
Burton
,
Christ
will
not
be
ashamed
of
you
at
the
last
day
.
Hee
replied
,
Hee
knew
whom
he
had
beleeved
,
and
that
Christ
was
able
to
keep
that
he
had
committed
to
him
against
that
day
.
One
asked
him
how
hee
did
?
Hee
said
,
never
better
,
I
blesse
God
,
who
hath
accounted
mee
worthy
thus
to
suffer
.
The
Keeper
,
keeping
of
the
people
from
pressing
neere
the
Pillary
;
hee
sayd
,
Let
them
come
and
spare
not
,
that
they
may
learne
to
suffer
.
This
same
Keeper
,
being
weary
,
and
sitting
him
downe
,
asked
Mr.
Burton
,
if
he
were
well
,
and
bad
him
be
of
good
comfort
.
To
whom
hee
replied
,
Are
you
well
?
If
you
be
well
,
I
am
much
more
,
and
full
of
comfort
,
I
blesse
God
.
Some
asked
him
,
if
the
Pillary
were
not
uneasy
for
his
neck
and
shoulders
.
Hee
answered
:
How
can
Christs
yoake
be
uneasy
?
This
is
Christs
yoake
,
and
he
beares
the
heavier
end
of
it
,
and
I
the
lighter
,
&
if
mine
were
too
heavy
,
hee
would
beare
that
too
.
O
good
people
!
Christ
is
a
good
and
sweet
Master
,
&
worth
the
suffering
for
!
And
if
the
world
did
but
know
his
goodnes
,
&
had
tasted
of
his
sweetnes
,
all
would
come
and
be
his
servants
;
and
did
they
but
know
what
a
blessed
thing
it
were
to
beare
his
yoake
,
O!
who
would
not
beare
it
?
The
Keeper
going
about
to
ease
the
Pillarie
,
by
putting
a
stone
or
a
bricke-batt
betweene
,
Mr.
Burton
sayd
,
Trouble
not
your selfe
,
I
am
at
very
good
ease
,
and
feele
no
wearines
at
all
.
And
espying
a
young
man
at
the
foote
of
the
Pillary
,
and
perceyving
him
to
looke
pale
on
him
:
Hee
said
,
Sonne
,
Sonne
,
what
is
the
matter
you
looke
so
pale
?
I
have
as
much
comfort
as
my
heart
can
hold
,
and
if
I
had
need
of
more
,
I
should
have
it
.
One
asked
him
a
while
after
,
if
he
would
drinke
some
aqua
vitae
.
To
whom
he
replied
,
that
he
needed
it
not
;
for
I
have
,
sayd
he
,
(
laying
his
hand
upon
his
breast
)
the
true
water
of
life
,
which
,
like
a
well
doth
spring
up
to
eternall
life
.
Pawsing
a
while
,
he
sayd
with
a
most
cheereful
,
&
grave
countenance
,
I
was
never
in
such
a
Pulpit
before
,
but
little
doe
ye
know
(
speaking
to
them
that
stood
about
him
)
what
fruits
God
is
able
to
produce
from
this
drye
tree
;
They
looking
stedfastly
upon
him
,
hee
sayd
,
Marke
my
words
,
and
remember
them
well
,
I
say
,
Little
doe
you
know
,
what
fruites
God
is
able
to
produce
from
this
dry
tree
:
I
say
,
remember
it
well
,
for
this
day
will
never
be
forgotten
;
and
through
these
holes
(
poynting
to
the
Pillary
)
God
can
bring
light
to
his
Church
.
The
Keeper
going
about
againe
to
mend
the
Pillary
,
he
sayd
:
Doe
not
trouble
your selfe
so
much
:
But
indeed
we
are
the
troublers
of
the
world
.
By
&
by
after
,
some
of
them
offering
him
a
cup
of
wine
;
He
thanked
them
,
telling
them
,
he
had
the
wine
of
consolation
within
him
,
&
the
joyes
of
Christ
in
possession
,
which
the
world
could
not
take
away
from
him
,
neither
could
it
give
them
unto
him
.
Then
he
looked
towards
the
other
Pillary
,
and
making
a
signe
with
his
hand
,
cheerefull
called
to
Dr.
Bastwicke
,
and
Mr.
Prynne
,
asking
them
,
how
they
did
?
Who
answered
,
Very
well
.
A
woman
said
unto
him
,
Sir
,
every
Christian
is
not
worthy
this
Honour
,
which
the
Lord
hath
cast
upon
you
this
day
.
Alas
(
said
he
)
who
is
worthy
of
the
least
mercy
?
But
it
is
his
gracious
favour
&
free
gift
,
to
account
us
worthy
in
the
behalf
of
Christ
to
suffer
any
thing
for
his
sake
.
Another
woman
said
,
There
are
many
hundreds
which
by
Gods
assistance
wou●d
willingly
suffer
,
for
the
cause
you
suffer
for
this
day
.
To
whom
he
said
,
Christ
exalts
all
of
us
that
are
ready
to
suffer
afflictions
for
his
Name
with
meeknes
&
patience
:
But
Christs
military
discipline
in
the
use
of
his
spirituall
warfare
in
point
of
suffering
,
is
quite
forgotten
,
and
we
have
in
a
manner
lost
the
power
of
religion
,
in
not
denying
our selves
,
and
following
Christ
as
well
in
sufferings
as
in
doing
.
After
a
while
Mr.
Burton
calling
to
one
of
his
friends
for
a
Handkercher
,
returned
it
againe
,
saying
:
It
is
hott
,
but
Christ
bore
the
burthen
in
the
heate
of
the
day
;
Let
us
alwayes
labour
to
approove
our
selves
to
God
in
all
things
,
and
unto
Christ
,
for
therein
stands
our
happines
,
come
of
it
what
will
in
this
world
.
A
Christian
friend
sayd
to
Mr.
Burton
,
The
Lord
strengthen
you
.
To
whom
hee
replied
,
I
thanke
you
,
and
I
blesse
his
name
hee
strengthens
.
For
though
I
am
a
poore
sinfull
wretch
,
yet
I
blesse
God
for
my
innocent
conscience
in
any
such
crime
as
is
laid
against
mee
;
and
were
not
my
cause
good
,
and
my
conscience
sound
,
I
could
not
enjoy
so
much
unspeakeable
comfort
in
this
my
sufferings
as
I
doe
:
I
blesse
my
God
.
Mistris
Burton
sends
commendation
to
him
by
a
friend
:
Hee
returned
the
like
to
her
,
saying
,
Commend
my
love
to
my
wife
,
and
tell
her
,
I
am
hartely
cheerefull
,
and
bidd
her
remember
what
I
sayd
to
her
in
the
morning
,
namely
,
That
she
should
not
blemish
the
glory
of
this
day
with
one
teare
,
or
so
much
as
one
sigh
.
She
returned
answer
,
that
shee
was
glad
to
heare
him
so
cheerefull
;
and
that
shee
was
more
cheerefull
of
this
day
,
then
of
her
wedding
day
.
This
Answere
exceedingly
rejoyced
his
heart
,
who
thereupon
blessed
God
for
her
,
and
sayd
of
her
,
Shee
is
but
a
young
Souldier
of
Christs
,
but
shee
hath
already
endured
many
a
sharp
brunt
,
but
the
Lord
will
strengthen
her
unto
the
end
:
And
hee
having
on
a
payre
of
new
gloves
,
shewed
them
to
his
friends
there
about
him
,
saying
:
My
wife
yesterday
of
her
owne
accord
bought
me
these
wedding
gloves
,
for
this
is
my
wedding
day
.
Many
friends
spake
comfortable
to
Mr.
Burton
,
and
hee
againe
spake
as
comfortably
to
them
,
saying
:
I
blesse
my
God
,
that
called
me
forth
to
suffer
this
day
.
One
said
to
him
,
Sr.
by
this
(
Sermon
)
your
suffering
God
may
convert
many
unto
him
.
Hee
answered
:
God
is
able
to
doe
it
indeed
.
And
then
he
called
againe
to
Dr.
Bastwicke
and
Mr.
Prynne
asking
them
how
they
did
?
Who
answered
as
before
.
Some
speaking
to
him
concerning
that
suffering
of
shedding
his
blood
:
Hee
answered
,
What
is
my
blood
to
Christs
blood
?
Christs
blood
is
a
purging
blood
,
but
mine
is
corrupted
and
polluted
with
sin
.
One
friend
asked
another
,
standing
neere
Mr.
Burton
,
If
there
should
bee
any
thing
more
done
unto
him
▪
Mr.
Burton
overhearing
him
,
answered
:
Why
should
there
not
be
more
done
?
For
what
God
will
have
done
,
must
bee
accompished
.
One
desiring
Mr.
Burton
to
be
of
good
cheere
:
To
whom
hee
thus
replied
:
If
you
knew
my
cheere
,
you
would
be
glad
to
be
partaker
with
mee
;
for
I
am
not
alone
,
neither
hath
God
left
me
alone
in
all
my
sufferings
,
&
close
imprisonment
,
since
first
I
was
apprehended
.
The
Halbertmen
standing
round
about
,
one
of
them
had
an
old
rusty
Halbert
,
the
Iron
whereof
was
tacked
to
the
staffe
with
an
old
crooked
naile
;
which
one
observing
,
and
saying
,
What
an
old
rusty
Halbert
is
that
?
M.
Burton
said
,
This
seemes
to
mee
to
be
one
of
those
Halberts
,
which
accompanied
Iudas
,
when
he
went
to
betray
&
apprehend
his
Master
.
The
people
observing
Mr.
Burtons
cheerefulnes
,
and
courage
in
suffering
,
rejoyced
,
and
blessed
God
for
the
same
.
Mr.
Burton
said
againe
,
I
am
perswaded
that
Christ
my
Advocate
,
is
now
pleading
my
cause
at
the
Fathers
right
hand
,
and
will
judge
my
cause
,
(
though
none
be
found
here
to
plead
it
)
and
will
bring
forth
my
righteousnes
as
the
light
at
noone
day
,
&
cleere
my
innocency
in
due
time
.
A
friend
asking
M.
Burton
,
if
he
would
have
bin
without
this
particular
suffering
?
To
whom
hee
sayd
,
No
:
not
for
a
world
.
Moreover
,
he
sayd
,
that
his
conscience
is
the
discharge
of
his
Ministeriall
duety
and
function
,
in
admonishing
his
people
to
beware
of
the
creeping
in
of
Popery
&
Superstition
,
exhorting
them
to
sticke
close
unto
God
&
the
King
,
in
duties
of
obedience
was
that
which
first
occasioned
his
sufferings
,
&
sayd
,
as
for
this
truth
I
have
preached
,
I
am
ready
to
seale
it
with
my
blood
,
for
this
is
my
Crowne
both
here
and
hereafter
.
I
am
jealous
of
Gods
honour
,
and
the
Lord
keepe
us
that
wee
may
doe
nothing
that
may
dishonour
him
,
either
in
doing
or
suffering
,
God
can
bring
light
out
of
darkenes
,
and
glory
out
of
shame
:
And
what
shall
I
say
more
?
I
am
like
a
Bottle
which
is
so
full
of
liquor
,
that
it
cannot
runne
out
freely
;
So
I
am
so
full
of
joy
,
that
I
am
not
able
to
expresse
it
.
In
conclusion
:
some
tolde
him
of
the
approach
of
the
Executioner
,
and
prayed
God
to
strengthen
him
.
Hee
sayd
,
I
trust
hee
will
,
why
should
I
feare
to
follow
my
Master
Christ
,
who
sayde
:
I
gave
my
Backe
to
the
smiters
,
and
my
cheecke
to
the
nippers
,
that
plucked
of
my
haire
,
I
hidde
not
my
face
from
shame
and
spitting
,
for
the
Lord
God
will
helpe
mee
,
therefore
shall
I
not
bee
confounded
,
I
have
set
my
face
like
a
flint
,
and
I
know
that
I
shall
not
bee
ashamed
.
When
the
Executioner
had
cut
off
one
eare
,
which
hee
had
cut
deepe
and
close
to
the
head
,
in
an
extraordinary
manner
:
Yet
this
Champion
of
Christ
never
once
mooved
or
stirred
for
it
,
though
he
had
cut
the
veyne
,
so
as
the
blood
ranne
streaming
downe
upon
the
Scaffold
,
which
divers
persons
standing
about
the
Pillary
,
seeing
,
dipped
their
Handkerchers
in
,
as
a
thing
most
precious
,
the
people
giving
a
mournefull
shout
,
and
crying
for
the
Chyrurgeon
,
whom
the
crowd
and
other
impediments
for
a
time
kept
off
,
so
that
hee
could
not
come
to
stop
the
blood
;
This
Patient
all
the
while
held
up
his
hands
,
and
sayd
,
Bee
content
,
It
is
well
,
blessed
bee
God
.
The
other
eare
,
being
cut
no
lesse
deepe
,
hee
then
was
freed
from
the
Pillary
,
and
come
downe
,
where
the
Chyrurgeon
waiting
for
him
,
presently
applyed
remedy
for
stopping
the
Blood
after
a
large
effusion
thereof
,
yet
for
all
this
hee
fainted
not
in
the
least
manner
,
though
through
expense
of
much
blood
hee
waxed
pale
.
And
one
offering
him
a
little
wormwood
water
,
hee
sayd
:
It
needs
not
,
yet
through
importunitie
he
onely
tasted
of
it
,
and
no
more
,
saying
,
My
master
Christ
was
not
so
well
used
,
for
they
gave
him
Gall
and
Veniger
,
and
you
give
me
strong
water
,
to
refresh
mee
,
blessed
be
God
.
His
head
being
bound
up
,
two
Friends
led
him
away
to
an
house
provided
for
him
in
Kings
Street
,
where
being
set
downe
,
and
bid
to
speake
little
,
yet
hee
sayd
after
a
pawse
,
This
is
too
hot
to
hold
long
.
Now
,
lest
they
in
the
roome
,
or
his
wife
should
mis-take
,
and
thinke
he
spake
of
himselfe
concerning
his
paine
,
hee
sayd
;
I
speake
not
this
of
my self
:
for
that
which
I
have
suffered
is
nothing
to
that
my
Saviour
suffered
for
mee
,
who
had
his
hands
&
feete
nayled
to
the
Crosse
:
And
lying
still
a
while
,
●●e
tooke
Mr.
Prynnes
sufferings
much
to
heart
,
and
asked
the
people
how
he
did
,
for
(
said
he
)
his
sufferings
have
beene
great
.
He
asked
also
how
Dr.
Bastwicke
did
,
with
much
compassion
and
griefe
,
that
hee
(
being
the
first
that
was
executed
)
could
not
stay
to
see
how
they
two
fayred
after
him
.
His
wife
being
brought
to
him
,
behaved
herself
very
graciously
towards
him
,
saying
:
Wellcome
Sweet
heart
,
wellcome
home
.
He
was
often
heard
to
repeate
these
words
:
The
Lord
keepe
us
,
that
we
doe
not
dishonour
him
in
any
thing
.
AMEN
.
