THat your Petitioner , having bin by a party of Horse taken out of Bed the 21th of May last , and delivered to a Company of Foot at St. James ; and from thence carried to the Tower , where he was cast into a Prison-lodging commonly called Nunns Bower , or The Hole , until he had submitted to pay an arbitrary Fyne , hath ever since continued a Prisoner , though not at al brought before any Officer Millitary or Civill to be examined . Al which , as he really beleives it to be unknown to this honourable House ; so is he not ignorant , that it is against Magna Charta , the Petition of Right , and the sixth Article of the present Government . And therefore being conscious to himself , that he hath not in any manner transgrest against any Law of the Land or the present Government ,

Humbly prays ,

He may be referred to a speedy legall tryall , which is it he above all things desires , to the end his innocency may be manifested to the World . Or otherwise to release him with such consideration for the heavy charge and exspence be hath thereby bin exposed to , as unto Equity and Justice doth appertein . And , as in duty bound ,

Your Petitioner shall pray , &c.
