A
CHRONICLE
OF
THE
CIVIL
WARS
OF
ENGLAND
,
SCOTLAND
,
and
IRELAND
.
THE
FIRST
PART
:
BEING
The
Commons
War
.
NO
higher
or
greater
cause
can
be
assigned
for
this
War
(
setting
aside
the
sins
of
all
Times
and
Nations
,
to
which
the
Justice
of
Heaven
is
seldome
long
a
Debtor
)
but
the
fate
and
catastrophe
of
Kingdoms
and
Monarchies
,
which
do
at
certain
periods
of
time
taste
of
that
vicissitude
and
mutability
,
to
which
all
other
sublunary
things
are
more
frequently
subjected
.
The
secondary
causes
of
it
,
are
so
many
and
so
uncertain
,
so
variously
reported
and
believed
,
that
it
would
spend
much
of
the
paper
allotted
to
this
History
in
ascertaining
them
.
Therefore
to
contain
and
keep
within
the
limits
of
this
designment
;
something
onely
shall
be
said
of
them
,
that
was
obvious
to
every
eye
,
not
savouring
of
partiality
or
affection
.
Many
disorders
and
Irregularities
no
doubt
there
were
in
the
State
,
contracted
through
a
long
and
lazy
peace
,
bolstred
up
with
an
Universal
trade
,
which
procured
a
general
wealth
,
the
Parents
of
Wantonnesses
;
the
excess
of
National
riches
being
but
as
the
burden
which
the
Ass
carries
,
and
mistakes
for
provender
;
people
being
onely
the
better
able
to
sustain
their
future
misery
,
with
their
present
plenty
.
These
conceived
abuses
in
the
manage
of
the
State
(
like
ill
humours
,
where
they
finde
an
equal
resistance
,
or
over-power
of
nature
,
)
sunk
and
descended
upon
the
Ecclesiastical
Regiment
,
too
impotent
to
sustain
those
general
assaults
which
were
given
it
.
No
storms
or
tempests
can
be
raised
or
maintained
below
,
without
the
Celestial
influences
,
or
disturbances
in
the
upper
Region
;
nor
often
are
there
any
Commotions
or
Wars
among
or
in
Nations
,
where
Religion
,
which
ought
to
be
the
peaceablest
and
most
innocent
perswasion
,
is
not
the
Primum
Mobile
,
the
great
mover
of
the
Machine
of
Destruction
.
Quantum
Religio
potuit
suadere
malorum
?
Nothing
from
abroad
could
any
way
break
off
that
continued
series
of
peace
we
had
so
long
enjoyed
;
we
had
made
the
Nations
round
about
us
to
wonder
at
,
and
to
dread
the
putting
forth
of
that
strength
which
had
been
matured
and
ripened
by
the
sunshine
of
so
great
a
prosperity
,
so
many
years
together
,
while
the
world
about
us
was
hurled
into
the
confusions
of
Ruine
and
War
,
ready
to
become
a
prey
to
the
next
potent
Invasion
.
Distractions
and
Confusions
about
Church-Ceremonies
.
Strange
moreover
it
is
,
That
the
miserable
Distractions
and
Confusions
which
ensued
,
should
be
derived
from
no
greater
beginnings
then
a
few
Ceremonies
in
the
Church
;
that
War
,
which
stands
upon
none
,
should
be
founded
and
fixt
upon
them
:
and
yet
nothing
more
certain
can
be
charged
with
the
guilt
of
so
much
misery
as
these
Kingdoms
so
long
suffered
under
;
but
the
Cavils
,
Discontents
and
disputes
about
them
.
A
grudging
there
was
for
many
years
before
,
in
the
Raigns
of
Queen
Elizabeth
and
King
Iames
,
in
whose
days
,
and
at
his
first
assumption
to
this
Crown
,
a
Conference
was
before
him
managed
by
the
Reformists
about
them
,
In
a
Conference
about
them
,
justified
by
K.
James
.
where
that
learned
King
so
justified
the
use
of
them
,
that
for
a
while
all
ob●oqu●es
against
them
were
silenced
,
and
the
Church
and
State
enjoyed
its
greatest
blessings
of
Peace
and
Uniformity
.
Nor
was
there
much
noise
about
them
in
the
beginning
of
the
Raign
of
King
Charles
;
but
towards
the
middle
it
began
to
threaten
a
storm
,
in
the
year
1635.
towards
the
conclusion
whereof
,
some
Uproars
and
Commotions
were
raised
,
Fresh
Commotions
about
them
,
raised
by
Pryn
,
Bastwick
,
Burton
,
and
Lilburn
.
decrying
those
Ceremonial
Rites
used
and
practised
in
the
Church
;
such
being
the
ushering
in
by
a
general
murmur
,
what
was
plainly
and
distinctly
declared
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
1637.
(
from
whence
this
Chronicle
takes
its
rise
,
)
by
Mr.
Pryn
,
Dr.
Bastwick
,
and
Mr
Burton
;
seconded
and
asserted
by
that
famously
known
person
,
Iohn
Lilburn
.
These
men
,
though
questionless
from
different
grounds
and
respects
(
as
this
age
hath
lived
to
see
by
Mr.
Pryn
,
who
proved
a
great
and
happy
instrument
in
the
Kings
Restitution
,
and
consequently
,
the
resettlement
of
the
Church
)
printed
several
Books
against
the
aforesaid
Ceremonies
;
for
these
Books
they
were
apprehended
(
which
were
charged
also
to
be
full
of
Invectives
against
the
Bishops
and
Episcopal
Government
)
and
were
severely
censured
in
the
Star-Chamber
,
to
the
exasperation
of
a
great
part
of
the
Kingdom
.
All
Pillori'd
and
Crop'd
.
They
were
all
three
sentenced
to
be
set
in
the
Pillory
,
and
to
have
their
ears
cut
off
,
Mr.
Pryn
to
be
stigmatized
on
both
cheeks
,
each
of
them
fined
five
thousand
pounds
apiece
to
the
King
,
Pryn
stigmatized
:
they
are
fined
and
imprisoned
.
and
to
be
imprisoned
during
the
Kings
pleasure
;
which
was
accordingly
executed
in
every
point
of
the
sentence
,
and
as
valiantly
and
stoutly
undergone
by
these
sufferers
,
who
after
they
had
stood
in
the
Pillory
(
three
thereof
being
set
up
in
the
Palace-yard
at
Westminster
)
were
sent
to
remote
Castles
in
the
adjacent
Isles
of
Guernsey
and
Iersey
;
from
whence
,
as
we
shall
see
hereafter
,
they
were
brought
back
to
London
.
I
may
not
dis-joyn
the
story
of
Iohn
Lilburn
from
theirs
,
though
divided
by
time
,
Lilburn
whipt
at
Carts
tail
.
he
suffering
the
year
after
,
being
whipt
at
a
carts
tail
for
imprinting
and
vending
several
Books
of
the
same
purport
and
contents
against
the
Bishops
.
This
man
proved
a
great
trouble-world
in
all
the
variety
of
Governments
afterward
,
being
chief
of
a
faction
called
Levellers
:
he
was
a
great
proposal-maker
and
modeller
of
State
,
which
by
his
means
was
always
restless
in
the
Usurpation
.
He
died
a
Quaker
;
and
such
as
his
life
was
,
such
was
his
death
.
This
year
also
Dr.
Williams
then
Bishop
of
Lincoln
,
and
Dean
of
Westminster
,
formerly
Lord
Keeper
,
relapsed
again
into
the
Kings
disfavour
,
for
some
dishonourable
words
uttered
against
the
King
,
which
were
taken
hold
of
,
and
prosecuted
in
the
Star-Chamber
,
Bishop
Williams
fined
10000
l.
where
he
was
fined
ten
thousand
pounds
;
though
his
enemies
would
rather
have
had
him
resigned
his
Bishoprick
and
Deanery
:
but
he
was
of
too
great
a
spirit
to
relinquish
either
of
them
,
as
being
places
conferred
on
him
by
Patent
from
his
bountiful
Master
King
Iames
;
and
so
chose
to
pay
the
aforesaid
fine
,
which
upon
a
new
score
was
soon
after
doubled
.
These
harsh
proceedings
against
him
so
exasperated
his
mind
,
that
in
the
troubles
ensuing
he
openly
sided
with
the
Parliament
.
In
effect
,
this
whole
years
revolution
,
as
to
matters
of
importance
,
was
concerned
in
Episcopacy
.
But
this
smoak
and
smother
in
England
concerning
Ceremonies
,
Troubles
break
out
in
Scotland
.
broke
out
into
fire
in
Scotland
;
these
petty
and
particular
discontents
here
,
being
blown
up
there
into
a
National
dislike
and
abhorrence
of
them
;
so
that
this
here
,
was
but
the
forerunner
of
that
conflagration
there
,
which
afterwards
laid
waste
Three
Kingdoms
.
And
because
of
the
remarkable
and
strange
eruption
and
effects
of
it
,
I
think
fit
to
give
those
Scotish
Troubles
their
particular
Narrative
,
connext
and
intire
together
:
Which
here
follows
.
The
Troubles
and
Tumult
in
Scotland
,
about
the
Service-Book
,
Book
of
Canons
,
High-Commission
,
and
Episcopacy
.
THe
great
and
long
designed
Union
of
the
two
Kingdoms
of
England
and
Scotland
had
taken
its
desired
effect
,
England
and
Scotland
United
.
by
the
assumption
of
King
Iames
the
Sixth
to
this
Crown
;
and
the
National
feud
between
the
two
people
thereof
well
allayed
,
if
not
wholly
extinguished
;
being
both
as
one
body
under
one
supream
Head
and
Governour
.
That
King
,
Scotland
well
setled
.
at
his
departing
from
that
his
Native
Kingdom
,
had
left
it
in
a
very
flourishing
condition
,
as
ever
it
boasted
of
;
the
State
well
provided
for
by
wholsom
Laws
,
and
the
management
thereof
committed
to
the
prudentest
and
most
honourable
of
the
Nobility
,
the
Church-Regiment
under
a
godly
and
a
learned
Orthodox
Episcopacy
,
reverenced
and
well
accepted
by
the
people
.
All
things
both
in
Church
and
State
being
well
ordered
,
supported
and
maintained
by
that
accession
of
power
and
greatness
to
their
Soveraign
in
this
Kingdom
,
that
Nation
continued
in
a
firm
and
unvariable
quiet
till
about
the
middle
of
the
Reign
of
King
Charles
the
first
of
blessed
memory
,
by
whom
,
as
also
by
his
Royal
Father
,
Endeavours
for
conformitie
in
Discipline
.
several
endeavours
were
used
for
the
better
strengthning
and
perpetuating
the
Union
a●oresaid
,
by
conforming
the
Discipline
of
that
Church
to
the
pattern
of
this
.
Religion
being
the
most
sure
and
indissolvable
tie
and
mutual
security
.
In
the
time
of
King
Iames
,
those
memorable
Five-Articles
were
made
by
the
Assembly
at
Perth
,
Articles
of
Perth
.
whereby
the
High-Commission
,
the
Book
of
Canons
,
and
other
Rites
and
Ceremonies
were
introduced
and
established
.
By
King
Charles
the
First
,
the
Book
of
Service
or
Common-Prayer
was
endeavoured
likewise
to
be
brought
in
,
Common-Prayer
endeavoured
to
be
introduced
in
Scotland
.
it
having
constantly
been
used
for
twenty
years
before
in
his
Majesties
own
Royal
Chappel
in
that
Kingdom
,
before
his
Majesties
Ministers
of
State
,
and
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
attending
them
.
And
now
all
things
appeared
Retro
sublapsa
referri
,
to
precipitate
into
Confusion
and
Disorder
;
the
period
of
that
peace
was
come
,
which
had
so
long
blest
that
Kingdom
.
Not
that
really
and
singularly
that
Book
was
the
cause
of
those
Commotions
,
but
accidentally
ministring
the
male-contents
of
that
Kingdom
an
occasion
of
revolt
and
disloyalty
:
For
the
seeds
of
that
Sedition
were
sown
by
the
Plotters
of
the
Covenant
,
which
was
afterwards
so
magnified
under
the
pretence
of
Religion
,
long
before
any
of
the
grievances
or
pretended
innovations
in
Religion
complained
of
by
them
were
ever
heard
amongst
them
.
The
Kings
Revocation
cause
of
Tumults
.
The
true
Original
of
these
Tumults
,
was
a
Revocation
made
by
King
Charles
the
first
,
of
such
things
as
had
passed
away
in
prejudice
of
the
Crown
,
especially
by
some
of
the
late
Princes
in
their
minorites
;
by
this
course
some
of
the
principal
Contrivers
of
this
Covenant
,
found
their
Estates
within
the
danger
of
the
Laws
:
And
though
the
King
,
to
rectifie
that
proceeding
of
his
,
had
made
appear
his
clemency
,
in
waving
all
the
advantages
which
the
Laws
afforded
him
,
not
one
of
his
Subjects
being
damnified
by
the
said
Revocation
;
yet
for
all
this
,
the
principal
persons
laboured
a
disaffection
to
the
Government
,
laying
the
envy
of
procuring
that
Revocation
upon
the
Prelates
,
Laid
upon
the
Bishop
.
who
in
this
were
as
innocent
as
the
thing
it self
;
onely
because
they
hoped
,
that
the
very
name
of
Church-men
or
Religious
persons
,
should
in
the
point
of
Faction
have
that
operation
with
their
followers
,
which
they
conceived
the
Church
or
Religion
it self
might
have
had
,
if
they
could
have
seen
how
to
have
perswaded
them
,
that
by
this
Revocation
either
of
them
had
been
endangered
.
Other
things
there
were
relating
to
the
Ministers
themselves
,
the
Gentry
,
and
their
Farmers
,
who
paid
the
Tythes
to
the
Nobility
;
being
the
burthen
of
Impropriations
:
This
the
King
thought
to
remedy
by
granting
out
a
Commission
to
a
great
number
of
the
prime
of
all
estates
and
degrees
,
to
relieve
,
if
they
should
see
cause
,
both
the
Ministers
and
others
who
suffered
by
that
grievance
:
This
Commission
was
called
,
Commission
of
Superioritie
and
Tythes
.
The
Commission
of
Superiority
and
Tythes
;
which
effected
,
as
to
the
agrieved
,
its
intended
effect
,
and
for
which
all
possible
thanks
were
rendred
to
his
Majesty
Nor
were
the
most
of
the
Nobility
unsensible
of
the
advantage
by
this
means
to
matter
of
profit
,
but
they
fretted
privately
for
being
robbed
of
that
Lordliness
over
the
Clergy
and
Laity
,
which
by
right
of
Tythe
they
enjoyed
;
and
therefore
had
recourse
to
the
former
fetch
of
making
the
Bishops
(
when
indeed
it
was
obtained
by
the
importunity
of
Clergy
and
Laity
)
the
Procurers
also
of
this
Commission
.
Honours
and
Titles
adde
to
the
Troubles
.
The
last
ingredient
to
this
bitter
Cup
,
which
was
prepared
in
Scotland
for
the
three
Nations
,
was
matter
of
Honour
and
Title
:
For
the
King
going
to
his
Coronation
there
in
1631.
a
Parliament
being
called
to
honour
the
same
(
wherein
an
Act
passed
,
that
gave
his
Majesty
power
to
appoint
such
Vestures
for
Church-men
which
he
should
hold
most
decent
;
and
another
for
ratifying
all
Acts
heretofore
made
concerning
the
established
Religion
,
and
the
liberties
and
priviledges
of
the
Church
)
his
Majesty
finding
some
principal
men
who
were
suitors
at
the
same
time
for
the
Dignities
aforesaid
,
dissenters
to
the
confirmation
and
allowance
of
the
said
Acts
,
did
not
confer
such
expected
Honours
,
but
passed
those
by
,
and
justly
advanced
more
Loyal
persons
;
at
which
they
then
muttered
,
but
mutined
not
till
his
Majesties
departure
.
Libels
tax
the
Parliament
.
Then
they
with
Seditious
private
Libels
,
taxed
this
Parliament
with
prevarication
and
obliquity
in
their
proceedings
,
as
if
it
had
been
pack'd
;
and
also
,
that
the
voyces
were
not
truly
numbred
,
but
that
some
Acts
were
past
without
plurality
of
Votes
.
This
being
sifted
by
the
Kings
Privy
Council
there
,
the
Author
was
known
,
who
fled
;
but
the
principal
engager
,
the
Lord
Balmerino
,
Libeller
fled
.
Balmerino
apprehended
.
was
apprehended
.
His
Father
had
been
raised
by
King
Iames
to
his
Barony
and
Fortune
,
but
for
the
most
ungrateful
of
Treasons
,
was
condemned
by
his
Peers
:
His
Son
at
his
time
fell
into
the
same
crime
and
condemnation
;
but
both
,
by
their
Majesties
favour
and
clemency
,
restored
to
Life
,
Honour
,
Liberty
and
Estate
.
But
all
these
devices
could
not
serve
their
turn
,
without
Religion
,
and
such
specious
pretences
were
pleaded
,
to
the
subversion
of
the
Government
;
therefore
the
Service-Book
opportunely
offering
it self
(
though
in
1616.
at
Aberdeen
,
a
piece
very
like
it
had
passed
by
the
General
Assembly
(
onely
altered
in
some
places
,
lest
in
totidem
verbis
,
some
factious
spirits
might
have
misconstrued
it
as
a
badge
of
dependance
of
that
Church
upon
England
,
to
the
prejudice
of
the

to
the

and
miraculous
change
,
and

which
followed
,
it
is
here

,
though
satisfactorily
transcribed
.
ON
the
Twenty
third
of
July
,
being
Sunday
,
according
to
publique
warning
given
the
Sunday
before
,
the
Service-Book
was
begun
to
be
read
in
Edinburgh
,
in
St.
Giles
Church
,
called
the
Great
Church
;
where
were
present
(
as
usual
)
many
of
the
Privy
Council
,
both
the
Archbishops
and
other
Bishops
,
the
Iustices
,
and
the
Magistrates
of
Edinburgh
.
No
sooner
was
the
Book
opened
by
the
Dean
of
Edinburgh
,
but
a
number
of
the
vulgar
,
most
of
them
women
,
with
clapping
of
their
bands
,
cursing
and
outcries
,
raised
such
a
barbarous
hubbub
in
the
place
,
that
none
could
bear
or
be
heard
.
The
Bishop
of
Edinburg
,
who
was
to
Preach
,
stept
into
the
Pulpit
,
which
is
immediately
above
the
place
where
the
Dean
was
to
read
;
intending
to
appease
the
Tumult
,
by
putting
them
in
minde
of
the
sacredness
of
the
place
,
and
of
the
horrible
prophanation
thereof
:
But
then
the
rabble
grew
so
enraged
and
mad
,
that
if
a
stool
aimed
to
be
thrown
at
him
,
had
not
been
providentially
diverted
by
the
hand
of
one
present
,
the
life
of
that
Prelate
had
been
endangered
,
if
not
lost
.
The
Archbishop
of
St.
Andrews
,
the
Lord
Chancellor
,
with
divers
others
,
offering
to
appease
the
multitude
,
were
entertained
with
such
bitter
curses
and
imprecations
,
that
not
being
able
to
prevail
with
the
people
,
the
Provost
,
Bailiffs
,
and
divers
others
of
the
Council
of
the
City
,
were
forced
to
come
down
from
the
Gallery
on
which
they
usually
sit
,
and
with
much
ado
,
in
a
very
great
Tumult
and
confusion
thrust
out
these
disorderly
people
,
making
fast
the
Church-doors
.
After
all
which
,
the
Dean
proceeded
to
read
Service
,
which
was
devoutly
performed
,
being
assisted
by
the
Lords
and
the
Bishops
then
present
:
Yet
the
clamor
,
rapping
at
Church-doors
,
and
throwing
of
stones
in
at
the
Church-windows
by
the
rabble
without
was
so
great
,
that
the
Magistrates
were
constrained
to
go
out
and
use
their
endeavours
for
to
appease
the
multitude
.
After
a
little
pause
and
cessation
,
the
Bishop
of
Edinburgh
Preached
;
and
after
Sermon
done
,
in
his
going
from
Church
,
was
so
invironed
with
a
multitude
of
the
meaner
sort
of
people
cursing
and
crowding
him
,
that
he
was
near
being
trod
to
death
,
if
he
had
not
recovered
the
stayrs
of
his
Lodging
,
where
he
was
again
assaulted
,
and
was
like
to
have
been
pulled
backwards
,
if
the
Earl
of
Weems
from
his
next
Lodging
,
seeing
the
Bishops
life
in
danger
,
had
not
sent
his
servants
to
rescue
him
;
who
got
the
Bishop
almost
breathless
into
his
Chamber
.
In
other
Churches
the
Minister
was
forced
to
give
over
reading
:
And
so
that
Morning
passed
.
Between
the
two
Sermons
,
consultation
was
held
how
to
suppress
those
out-rages
;
and
'
was
so
ordered
,
that
the
Service
was
quietly
read
in
St.
Giles
&
other
Churches
in
the
afternoon
:
But
yet
the
rabble
intermitted
nothing
of
their
madness
;
The
Rabble
continued
their
madness
.
for
staying
in
the
streets
,
at
the
comming
home
of
the
Earl
of
Roxborough
,
the
Lord
Privy
Seal
,
with
the
aforesaid
Bishop
in
his
Coach
,
they
so
fiercely
assaulted
him
with
stones
,
that
he
had
like
to
have
suffered
the
death
of
the
Martyr
St.
Stephen
;
so
that
if
his
footmen
had
not
kept
the
multitude
off
with
their
drawn
Swords
,
their
lives
had
been
very
much
indangered
.
Thus
the
Reformation
began
there
with
such
terrible
profanations
of
the
Lords
day
,
and
of
the
Lords
House
;
an
ill
omen
,
what
in
future
would
be
the
conclusion
;
and
this
done
by
the
same
many-headed
Monster
,
that
in
like
manner
began
the
troubles
in
England
;
nor
ever
was
the
Union
more
perfect
and
streight
,
then
in
such
mischiefs
.
To
prevent
and
redress
these
ills
,
Proclamation
against
them
.
the
Privy
Councel
set
forth
a
Proclamation
,
thereby
discharging
all
concourses
of
people
and
tumultuous
meetings
in
Edinburgh
under
pain
of
death
;
at
which
time
the
Magistrates
of
the
said
City
,
before
the
Council-Table
,
professed
their
detestation
thereof
,
and
profered
their
utmost
power
in
the
discovery
of
the
principals
in
that
uproar
;
Magistrates
profess
a
detestation
,
but
soon
joyned
with
them
.
though
they
afterwards
shamefully
failed
in
their
promise
,
and
appeared
among
the
chief
of
the
Covenanters
,
even
while
they
were
glozing
with
the
King
and
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
in
England
,
by
letters
full
of
duty
and
affection
to
his
Majesty
,
and
his
Churches
service
.
All
businesses
of
note
for
a
time
seemed
to
be
hushed
and
calmed
,
by
reason
of
the
long
Vacation
,
(
which
in
that
Kingdom
beginneth
always
on
Lammas-day
)
and
the
Harvest
,
which
drew
all
sorts
of
people
from
Edinburgh
,
except
the
Citizens
,
so
that
all
was
quiet
till
the
ensuing
October
,
and
then
the
conflux
of
all
sorts
soon
enlivened
the
tumults
again
;
the
Ministers
who
undertook
the
reading
of
the
second
Service-book
,

recant

Libel

publiquely
relenting
their
forwardness
,
and
recanting
,
and
reneging
it
,
and
to
that
purpose
presented
a
Petition
,
desiring
it
might
not
be
imposed
on
them
:
this
being
backt
with
such
an
Universal
rendezvous
of
all
sorts
,
gave
the
Council
the
fear
of
an
Insurrection
;
for
prevention
whereof
,
a
Proclamation
again
was
published
,
which
under
pain
or
Rebellion
commanded
all
persons
,
except
they
should
show
cause
of
their
further
stay
about
their
particular
affairs
,
to
depart
the
City
,
and
return
to
their
Houses
;
Seconded
also
with
another
,
whereby
his
Majesties
Council
,
and
Session
(
which
is
the
Term
)
were
declared
to
be
removed
from
Edinburgh
to
Dundee
;
and
a
third
for
seizing
and
discovering
of
a
certain
seditious
Book
against
the
English
Ceremonies
,
which
second
book
was
ordered
to
be
publiquely
burnt
upon
the
seizure
.
Another
Insurrection
.
Bishop
of
Galloway
in
danger
.
These
Proclamations
were
next
day
overtaken
with
another
Insurrection
:
For
on
the
19
of
October
,
1667.
the
Bishop
of
Galloway
,
and
Sir
William
Elphinston
Lord
chief
Justice
of
that
Kingdom
,
being
appointed
by
the
Lords
of
the
Council
to
examine
witnesses
in
a
Cause
depending
before
them
,
passing
through
the
streets
to
the
Council-House
,
were
suddenly
encountred
and
surrounded
with
an
enraged
multitude
;
the
Bishop
hardly
by
the
means
of
one
of
the
parties
in
that
Suit
getting
safe
to
the
Council
,
where
,
through
the
like
irreverence
to
that
Tribunal
,
he
could
find
no
Sanctuary
,
being
threatned
instantly
with
death
.
Upon
report
of
this
outrage
,
Traquair
and
Wigton
came
to
his
relief
with
no
less
danger
.
the
Earls
of
Traquair
and
Wigton
came
with
their
followers
to
his
relief
,
where
with
much
ado
they
got
entrance
,
but
found
themselves
in
no
better
case
than
the
Bishop
,
the
peoples
rage
being
thereby
the
more
increased
.
The
Lords
and
the
Bishop
being
thus
beset
,
sent
privately
to
the
Lord
Provost
and
Bailiffs
of
Edinburgh
,
They
send
to
the
Provost
and
Bailiffs
of
Edinburgh
for
relief
,
who
were
as
bad
or
worse
used
.
for
relief
;
who
sent
them
word
that
they
themselves
were
in
the
same
condition
,
if
not
worse
,
if
the
Lords
attempted
not
to
appease
the
people
,
who
had
forced
them
in
their
Council-House
,
for
fear
of
their
lives
,
to
subscribe
a
Paper
then
instantly
presented
them
,
which
contained
three
particulars
.
First
,
that
they
should
joyn
with
them
in
opposition
to
the
Service-book
,
and
in
petitioning
to
the
King
.
Secondly
,
that
by
their
Authority
they
should
restore
Mr.
Ramsey
,
and
Mr.
Rolloch
,
two
lately
silenced
Ministers
.
Thirdly
,
that
they
should
restore
one
Mr.
Henderson
a
silenced
Reader
;
which
three
persons
were
notable
Ringleaders
of
the
faction
;
three
most
important
grounds
for
so
fearful
a
Commotion
.
A
Conference
,
but
in
vain
.
Thereupon
the
Lords
resolved
to
go
and
confer
with
the
Magistrates
,
and
either
by
their
authority
or
perswasion
to
reduce
the
people
to
obedience
and
reason
;
but
all
in
vain
:
for
at
their
return
re
infecta
to
the
Council-Table
again
,
they
were
set
upon
,
the
Earl
of
Traquair
being
troden
down
,
Traquair
troden
down
.
losing
his
white
Staff
,
the
Ensign
of
his
Office
of
Treasurer
,
with
his
Hat
and
Cloak
,
and
so
with
much
ado
got
back
again
to
the
Council
;
who
seeing
the
impendent
danger
from
the
fury
of
the
people
,
were
forced
to
apply
themselves
to
some
Noblemen
who
were
of
the
faction
,
by
whose
influence
upon
and
respects
from
the
people
,
they
with
the
aforesaid
Bishops
were
conveyed
to
their
respective
dwellings
;
but
the
Provost
was
pursued
with
threats
,
rayling
and
danger
,
unto
the
yard
of
his
own
house
.
This
Mornings
storm
being
blown
over
,
another
Proclamation
was
made
against
further
unlawful
Assemblies
,
and
meeting
in
the
streets
of
that
City
,
under
the
most
severe
pains
the
Laws
in
those
Cases
had
provided
;
Another
Proclamation
against
unlawful
Assemblies
:
but
not
regarded
.
The
Rabble
petition
.
but
so
little
regard
was
thereunto
given
,
that
the
next
day
they
demanded
of
the
Lords
what
they
had
demanded
of
their
Magistrates
;
and
to
that
purpose
two
Petitions
,
as
well
from
the
Rabble
,
as
also
now
from
greater
hands
,
the
chief
Citizens
,
Gentry
,
and
Nobility
,
were
presently
tendred
to
the
Lord
Chancellour
of
that
Kingdom
,
which
imported
the
whole
substance
of
the
present
Commotion
;
the
English
Service-book
still
bearing
the
burthen
:
Withal
in
this
last
petition
,
making
their
greivances
swell
,
adding
their
dislike
of
the
book
of
Canons
,
to
their
former
distast
of
the
Service-book
;
so
one
demand
ushered
in
another
,
till
they
had
nothing
to
ask
,
but
what
they
resolved
to
take
:
the
parallel
of
our
troubles
.
These
petitions
were
afterwards
sent
up
to
the
King
,
Their
petition
sent
to
the
King
,
who
by
Proclamation
resents
the
affronts
of
his
chief
Ministers
.
who
by
a
Proclamation
resented
the
injuries
and
affronts
done
his
Royal
Authority
,
by
those
attemps
upon
his
chief
Ministers
,
and
also
declared
his
firm
intentions
to
maintain
the
Protestant
Religion
,
commanding
also
all
persons
to
forbear
further
meetings
and
petitions
of
this
nature
,
upon
pain
of
treason
.
But
this
Proclamation
was
encountred
with
a
Protestation
made
by
the
Earls
of
Hume
and
Lindsey
,
Hume
and
Lindsey
justifie
the
matter
.
two
great
Covenanters
,
who
avowed
therein
the
whole
action
,
with
a
resolution
added
to
adhere
to
them
to
the
last
,
requiring
also
some
of
the
Bishops
to
be
removed
from
his
Majesties
Councel
,
and
such
other
more
unreasonable
expostulations
,
which
yet
came
short
still
of
those
that
they
made
afterwards
,
their
number
and
power
still
increasing
their
peremptory
and
haughty
designes
upon
the
Government
.
Soon
after
,
this
sedition
began
to
arm
it self
,
and
assume
another
name
;
they
of
the
faction
took
the
authority
of
the
Kingdom
to
themselves
;
Four
Tables
.
erected
four
Tables
,
as
they
called
them
,
of
the
four
ranks
of
Noblemen
,
Gentry
,
Burgesses
and
Ministers
,
out
of
all
which
was
formed
one
general
Table
,
that
was
supreme
.
This
Table
,
after
some
consultation
and
reports
from
the
other
,
resolved
upon
a
Covenant
to
be
taken
throughout
the
Kingdom
,
A
Covenant
resolved
on
.
which
for
substance
was
the
same
with
that
Solemn
League
,
afterwards
taken
in
England
;
onely
Bishops
in
express
terms
were
not
therein
then
abjured
,
but
implicitely
no
doubt
included
,
and
more
plainly
,
their
sitting
in
civil
Judicatories
.
The
King
was
most
highly
incensed
against
this
Usurpation
of
his
Royal
Authority
,
The
King
highly
incensed
thereat
.
especially
at
the
obtruding
this
Covenant
,
wherewith
the
greatest
part
of
the
Nation
were
already
infected
,
and
others
through
compulsion
and
force
scared
into
a
compliance
with
it
,
though
with
a
great
deal
of
stir
and
reluctancy
:
Wherefore
to
obviate
the
imminent
danger
it
threatned
,
the
King
dispatcht
away
the
Marquess
of
Hamilton
as
his
Commissioner
to
that
Kingdom
,
Hamilton
sent
unto
Scotland
.
to
apply
some
present
remedy
to
the
distemper
;
he
being
a
person
of
great
honour
and
influence
on
that
Nation
.
Before
his
arrival
,
of
which
the
Covenanters
had
timely
notice
,
they
made
the
more
hast
to
engage
the
people
against
any
accommodation
:
Nor
did
they
with
the
usual
respect
entertain
the
Commissioner
;
but
after
some
few
days
stay
,
after
some
overtures
by
him
made
on
the
Kings
part
towards
them
,
They
slight
him
,
and
his
demands
of
them
,
particularly
their
deserting
and
relinquishing
their
Covenant
,
he
received
a
slighting
answer
,
that
they
would
descend
to
no
particulars
of
their
part
,
till
a
general
Assembly
should
be
called
:
But
as
for
the
Covenant
,
they
would
sooner
part
with
their
lives
,
than
abate
a
syllable
of
it
;
and
resolved
never
to
hear
more
against
it
:
and
strengthen
themselves
.
And
thereupon
new
guards
were
by
them
clapt
upon
Edinburgh
Castle
,
the
Watches
of
the
City
multiplied
,
and
the
Ministers
began
to
convert
all
their
Sermons
into
Libels
,
warning
the
people
to
take
heed
of
Crafty
Compositions
,
when
they
were
resolved
against
any
.
These
difficulties
caused
the
Commissioner
to
repair
to
London
,
having
first
received
order
to
publish
the
Kings
Declaration
against
the
supposed
Popery
;
and
removed
also
the
Term
,
for
the
further
satisfying
of
the
City
of
Edinburgh
,
back
thither
again
;
Term
returned
to
Edinburgh
.
which
indeed
was
for
a
while
magnified
by
the
Citizens
as
an
Act
of
favour
,
but
presently
was
undervalued
as
a
trick
to
cajole
them
;
so
instructed
by
those
who
grudged
the
King
any
esteem
or
love

was
soon
after
published
;
which
contained
his
dispensation
of
the
Service-book
and
Canons
,
with
a
promise
of
calling
a
general
Assembly
and
Parliament
with
all
convenient
Expedition
;
requiring
his
subjects
to
contain
themselves
in
their
duty
,
and
not
further
to
hearken
to
any
Rebellious
suggestions
.
The
Covenanters
protest
against
it
.
As
soon
as
the
Herauld
had
proclaimed
it
,
the
Covenanters
were
ready
.
upon
a
Scaffold
there
erected
,
with
a
Protestation
against
it
;
(
having
before
possest
the
People
,
that
if
this
Declaration
were
hearkened
unto
,
it
would
bring
undoubted
ruine
to
their
Religion
,
Laws
and
Liberties
)
which
they
publiquely
read
,
importing
some
new
additions
to
their
former
demands
,
and
cavils
at
the
uncertainty
of
the
Kings
intentions
in
the
matters
declared
.
Hamilton
having
given
the
King
an
account
of
affairs
,
is
sent
again●
and
enters
a
Treaty
.
The
Marquess
Hamilton
being
arrived
at
London
,
gave
the
King
an
account
of
the
whole
business
;
and
according
to
his
new
instructions
,
returned
back
again
by
their
appointed
time
,
the
15
th
of
August
,
1638.
and
entred
presently
into
a
Treaty
with
them
about
the
manner
of
calling
the
General
Assembly
;
which
they
would
not
hear
of
,
but
that
a
General
Assembly
should
be
immediately
called
;
and
of
the
due
Elections
thereto
,
when
they
were
met
,
themselves
should
be
the
judge
:
For
otherwise
there
would
of
necessity
be
some
prelimitations
,
which
the
freedom
thereof
might
not
suffer
.
Upon
this
Emergency
all
things
growing
worse
and
worse
,
the
Marquess
was
forced
upon
another
journey
to
consult
the
King
(
the
Covenanters
concluding
,
He
returns
to
England
,
hath
power
given
him
to
satisfie
the
Scots
if
possible
.
that
if
he
returned
not
before
the
21
of
September
,
they
would
of
themselves
Indict
this
Convention
)
who
concluded
of
giving
that
Kingdom
the
utmost
satisfaction
;
and
with
a
Commission
to
summon
this
Assembly
returned
:
But
the
day
after
,
the
Covenanters
,
contrary
to
promise
,
made
an
Election
in
one
of
the
Presbyteries
Adjacent
,
of
themselves
;
whereas
throughout
the
Kingdom
,
according
to
the
directions
of
the
Tables
,
Lay-Elders
and
Ministers
were
chosen
together
;
a
thing
never
seen
before
in
that
Kingdom
.
The
Assembly
at
Glasgow
.
This
Assembly
,
the
Source
of
those
calamities
which
afterwards
embroyl'd
and
enslaved
that
Nation
,
was
held
at
the
City
and
University
of
Glasgow
,
in
November
1638.
in
which
they
so
carried
and
packt
the
Elections
,
that
there
was
scarce
one
Dissenter
from
those
Resolutions
they
had
profest
in
their
Covenant
.
The
Bishops
were
Totally
excluded
from
sitting
or
voting
therein
,
Bishops
excluded
:
They
protest
against
it
.
but
were
cited
to
compeer
as
offenders
,
and
answer
their
charge
.
Against
these
proceedings
,
and
the
illegality
of
the
constitution
of
this
Assembly
,
they
first
protested
,
and
tendered
their
reasons
,
but
they
would
not
be
admitted
for
such
;
so
that
the
Lord
Commissioner
seeing
no
hope
of
Justice
,
Law
,
or
Reason
,
or
Loyalty
taking
place
there
,
at
seven
days
end
dissolved
them
by
a
Proclamation
;
They
continue
fitting
,
notwithstanding
a
Proclamation
to
dissolve
them
.
which
they
took
no
further
notice
of
,
then
only
by
opposing
another
Protestation
,
wherein
they
declared
,
that
the
Assembly
ought
not
to
be
,
nor
was
as
dissolved
,
until
such
time
as
those
ends
so
often
before
expressed
were
fully
attained
;
and
so
proceeded
in
their
Session
.
Strange
and
desperate
was
the
Pride
of
this
Assembly
,
far
beyond
the
Popes
infallible
Councils
,
taking
upon
them
to
be
the
Supreme
Judicatory
on
earth
,
above
all
Laws
and
Parliaments
,
and
King
himself
,
as
Christs
Council
;
and
that
if
the
Judges
and
other
Ministers
of
State
should
not
obey
their
Commandment
,
they
might
proceed
to
sentence
of
Excommunication
against
them
:
Which
was
effectually
put
in
practice
afterwards
against
the
Bishops
,
and
their
adherents
,
before
they
armed
themselves
otherwise
against
their
Soveraign
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
they
did
pretend
that
the
King
,
should
he
be
satisfied
of
the
equity
and
lenity
of
their
proceedings
,
would
no
doubt
comply
with
them
in
the
matters
they
Petitioned
for
;
which
more
exasperated
his
Majesty
than
all
the
Violations
and
Usurpations
of
his
Authority
.
Arguile
owns
the
Covenanters
.
The
Earl
of
Arguile
,
who
had
hitherto
kept
fair
with
the
King
,
and
was
one
of
his
Privy
Council
there
,
now
owned
the
Covenanters
,
and
professed
his
adherence
to
their
cause
.
It
is
believed
he
was
one
of
the
first
that
stirred
in
this
unfortunate
business
,
and
that
therefore
the
better
to
satisfie
him
,
the
King
after
the
first
Pacification
,
made
him
a
Marquess
.
More
certain
it
is
,
he
was
the
last
that
suffered
in
it
,
as
in
the
conclusion
of
this
Chronicle
will
appear
.
I
have
insisted
the
longer
on
this
story
,
because
the
general
Commotions
that
followed
it
,
ran
almost
the
same
parallel
in
their
respective
commencements
in
the
three
Kingdoms
;
and
to
shew
,
that
neither
prudence
nor
arms
,
both
which
were
seasonably
applyed
,
could
stop
or
prevent
those
judgements
of
Confusion
and
Ruine
,
which
soon
after
ensued
this
Tragical
Prologue
in
a
miserable
catastrophe
.
For
the
Scots
presently
began
to
arm
,
The
Scots
arm

having
first
sent

the
French
King

craving
his
aid
and
assistance
;
which
was
readily
proffered
them
by
Cardinal
Richlieu
his
chief
Minister
of
State
,
who
was
supposed
to
have
fomented
the
quarrel
from
the
very
beginning
,
to
quit
scores
with
the
King
of
England
for
siding
with
the
Rochellers
in
the
beginning
of
his
Raign
.
But
before
any
blood
was
drawn
,
came
over
the
Queen-Mother

whom
the
generality
of
the
people
took
for
a
Prognostick
or
ill
Omen
of
a
War
,
or
some
Rupture
approaching
.
Many
scandals
were
raised
against
the
King
for
her
admission
hither
;
but
all
things
were
gone
too
far
beyond
the
contribution
of
her
advice
,
to
make
her
guilty
of
our
troubles
:
However
,
she
seemed
the
Comet
that
did
portend
and
foretel
them
,
the
like
Commotions
having
happened
for
some
years
past
in
the
places
of
her
residence

had
gotten
together

competent
Army
,
raised
by
the
Authority
and
Ordinance
of
the
aforesaid
Assembly
,
for
the
pretended
defence
of
the
Kingdom
,
its
Religion
and
Laws
.
Nor
did
the
King
neglect
the
affairs
of
that
Kingdom
,
but
was
arming
here
in
England
,
with
all
the
speed
his
Purse
would
afford
;
which
was
then
in
a
low
ebb
:
Yet
by
the
Loans
of
the
Nobility
,
Gentry
and
Clergy
,
he
had
raised
a
gallant
Army
,

A
Declaration
by

The
King
being
thus
in
readiness
,
Emitted
another
Declaration
,
wherein
he
taxed
the
Scots
with
several
rebellious
Libels
,
for
their
Protestations
against
his
commands
,
for
usurping
his
Authority
,
and
for
refusing
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
and
Supremacy
upon
account
of
their
having
taken
the
Covenant
;
reiterates
his
resolutions
of
maintaining
Episcopacy
in
that
Kingdom
,
and
lays
the
blood
(
if
any
were
spilt
in
that
quarrel
)
upon
themselves
as
Rebels
,
whom
he
ought
not
longer
to
suffer
to
proceed
in
those
undutiful
and
destructive
courses
,

hoped
to
reduce
to
their
former
and
due
Obedience

the
22
of
March
the
said
Assembly
reply
by
an
Ordinance
,
wherein
,
after
expostulating
the
Kings
Declaration
,
they
curse
themselves
if
they
intend
any
harm
to
England
;
concluding
their
War

be
meerly
defensive

grounded
upon

Anno
Dom.
1639.
THe
King
set
forward
with
his
Army
,
and
in
April
came
to
York
,
and
in
May
to
Barwick
,
where
both
Armies
came
in
view
one
of
another
.
When
the
King
was
at
York
,
the
Earls
of
Roxborough
and
Traquair
,
The
Earls
of
Roxborough
and
Traquair
Commissioners
from
the
Covenanters
.
two
formerly
of
his
Council
,
and
Officers
of
State
,
came
to
him
as
Commissioners
from
the
Covenanters
,
under
pretence
of
Treating
with
the
King
;
who
wanting
their
due
Commission
,
and
being
suspected
to
have
been
sent
on
an
errand
purposely
to
tamper
with
the
English
Lords
;
and
to
perswade
them
of
the
honest
intentions
of
the
Scotch
Nation
,
were
therefore
for
a
while
committed
,
Committed
and
released
.
but
soon
after
set
at
liberty
;
having
in
part
effected
their
errand
,
and
insinuated
a
good
opinion
of
their
proceedings
,
withal
begot
an
intelligence
and
correspondence
with
some
of
the
Peers
,
who
before
were
well
inclined
to
their
cause
.
This
appeared
soon
after
in
the
English
Councils
of
War
,
where
the
first
Gallantry
and
Resolutions
of
the
Principal
Commanders
were
seen
to
flag
and
abate
,
and
dissolve
into
more
soft
and
pliable
dispositions
to
peace
.
The
English
Army
being
far
superiour
in
Arms
,
men
,
and
bravery
,
was
encamped
near
Barwick
,
and
the
Scots
at
Dunslo
;
when
by
mediation
of
the
persons
aforesaid
,
A
Treaty
began
,
and
soon
ended
.
a
Treaty
was
begun
(
which
ended
presently
in
a
short-lived
Peace
,
)
upon
several
Articles
,
which
being
not
performed
on
the
Scots
part
,
are
needless
here
to
repeat
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
,
according
to
the
Kings
Proclamation
when
he
also
summoned
their
Assembly
,
met
on
the
appointed
15th
of
May
,
and
was
prorogued
till
the
last
of
August
;
The
Parliament
of
Scotland
proregued
.
at
which
time
they
sate
four
days
,
and
therein
formed
four
demands
for
the
King
.
The
Assembly
also
sate
a
little
before
,
and
abolisht
Episcopacie
,
the
Liturgy
,
and
the
Book
of
Canons
,
The
Assembly
abolish
Episc●pacie
.
with
the
High
Commission
,
&c.
These
things
coming
to
the
Kings
knowledge
,
together
with
a
Pamphlet
prevaricating
the
conditions
of
the
late
Treaty
,
their
Letters
to
the
King
of
France
for
aid
,
their
new
Provisions
for
Arms
,
their
levying
of
Taxes
of
ten
marks
per
Centum
,
and
continuing
their
Officers
and
Fortifications
,
induced
him
by
his
new
Commissioner
the
Earl
of
Traquair
to
command
the
Adjournment
of
the
Parliament
until
the
second
of
Iune
next
ensuing
,
Their
Parlialiament
adjourned
.
upon
pain
of
Treason
.
Against
which
Command
the
Covenanters
declare
,
and
send
a
Remonstrance
to
the
King
by
the
Earl
of
Dumfermling
and
the
Lord
Loudon
,
They
send
the
Earl
of
Dumfermling
and
Lord
Loudon
with
a
Remonstrance
.
the
Chancellour
of
that
Kingdom
afterwards
;
who
coming
without
Warrant
from
the
Kings
Commissioner
Traquair
,
were
sent
back
again
.
Whereupon
Traquair
,
a
person
suspected
to
have
abused
his
trust
,
comes
himself
,
and
advising
with
Hamilton
,
they
both
propound
to
the
Council
,
the
affairs
of
Scotland
being
so
desperate
,
whether
it
were
not
more
expedient
the
King
should
go
himself
in
person
into
Scotland
,
than
to
reduce
them
by
Arms
:
which
after
many
politique
considerations
,
was
Resolved
in
the
Affirmative
,
That
nothing
could
reclaim
them
to
their
duty
,
but
force
of
Arms.
This
again
brought
the
Earl
of
Dumfermling
and
the
Lord
Loudon
to
London
,
with
two
other
Commissioners
;
where
before
the
King
again
,
they
insisted
upon
the
justification
of
their
innocence
,
and
withal
desired
that
the
King
would
ratifie
and
confirm
their
proceedings
,
and
that
their
Parliament
might
proceed
to
determine
of
all
Articles
or
Bills
brought
to
them
,
to
the
establishing
of
Religion
and
Peace
:
But
instead
of
an
Answer
to
their
requests
,
the
King
charged
them
with
the
aforementioned
Libel
,
and
their
Letters
and
Intelligence
held
with
the
French
King
,
which
then
came
to
English
light
,
and
were
known
by
the
Characters
to
be
the
writing
of
the
Lord
Loudon
,
Loudon
committed
,
and
released
.
who
was
thereupon
committed
for
a
short
time
,
but
released
upon
the
mediation
of
the
Marquess
Hamilton
.
After
his
release
,
he
and
Dumfermling
presented
their
Assemblies
and
Parliaments
Remonstrance
to
the
King
;
and
the
Commissioner
returned
also
,
and
gave
a
full
account
of
the
state
of
that
Kingdom
.
All
three
of
them
being
admitted
unto
the
Council
together
,
the
matter
was
there
managed
with
so
much
anger
and
sharpness
,
that
the
King
and
the
Scots
were
more
exasperated
against
one
another
than
before
.

about
this
time
came
into

utterly
lost
his
interest
in
the
Palatinate

by
the
late
defeat
given
him
there

so
famous
afterwards
in

past
so
far
undiscovered

he
was
soon
after
released
,

returned
into

by
the
Parliament
he
had
8000

assigned

till
after
His
Murther

he
departed
home
upon
the
Articles
of

,
by
which
he
was
restored
to
his
Dignities
and
Sovereignty
,
being
conveyed
hence
in
1649.

a
man
of
War

the
Brill
in

This
year
was
signalized
also
by

famous
Sea-fight

Downs

consisted
of
seventy
Sail

great
Ships

on
which
were
put
aboard
,
as
the
report
went
,
twenty

designed
for
the
service
of
the
Spaniard
against

side

where

desired
they
might

;
but
that
could
not

,

may

passage

On

the

Majesties
Birth
,
part
of
the
Walls
of

fell
down
;
which
was
likewise
interpreted
for
an
ill

:

though
more
unhappily
,
and
nearly
significant

was
that
of
the
fall
of
the
head
of
his
staff
at
his
Tryal
,
before
the
pretended
High
Court
of
Justice
.
For
the
repairing
of
these
ruines
,
the
King
sent
the
Lord
Estrich
,
Col.
Ruthen
and
others
,
who
were
resisted
by
the
Covenanters
,
as
men
not
qualified
for
the
service
.
No
hopes
for
these
and
other
reasons
being
conceivable
of
treating
,
and
perswading
the
Scots
to
obedience
,
a
Resolution
was
taken
vigorously
to
prosecute
the
War
commenced
the
year
before
;
to
which
purpose
it
was
debated
at
a
Cabinet-Council
,
where
none
were
present
but
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
and
Hamilton
;
and
there
agreed
that
a
Parliament
must
be
called
in
England
and
Ireland
;
and
that
in
the
mean
time
,
for
the
speedy
raising
of
money
,
the
Nobility
,
Gentry
,
and
Clergy
should
subscribe
what
sums
of
money
they
would
advance
to
this
service
for
the
present
occasion
,
till
the
King
could
be
otherwise
helped
by
Subsidies
.
The
Nobility
,
Gentry
,
and
Clergy
assist
the
King
with
mony
for
the
carrying
on
of
the
War
.
To
this
purpose
the
Earl
of
Strafford
first
subscribed
twenty
thousand
pounds
,
the
like
did
the
Duke
of
Richmond
,
and
the
Nobility
according
to
the
several
values
of
their
Estates
.
The
Clergy
granted
four
shillings
in
the
pound
in
their
Convocation
,
which
presently
followed
,
to
be
paid
for
six
years
together
;
only
the
City
of
London
were
refractory
,
and
could
not
be
induced
to
lend
one
farthing
to
the
carrying
on
of
that
War
.
By
these
Loans
(
however
)
of
the
Kings
Loyally
affected
Subjects
,
he
was
again
in
a
formidable
posture
;
and
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
besides
his
own
personal
disbursments
,
Supplies
from
Ireland
.
had
procured
four
Subsidies
,
to
maintain
ten
thousand
foot
and
fifteen
hundred
Horse
,
from
the
Parliament
of
Ireland
he
had
newly
called
;
for
which
he
was
honourably
brought
into
the
House
of
Peers
in
the
Parliament
of
England
;
whither
by
his
Majesties
call
from
his
Lieutenantship
of
Ireland
he
was
then
arrived
,
to
assist
the
King
with
his
prudent
Counsels

A
Parliament
summoned
.
THe
13th
of
April
,
this
year
,
being
the
16th
of
the
Kings
Reign
,
a
Parliament
was
summoned
at
Westminster
;
at
the
opening
whereof
,
the
King
acquainted
them
with
the
affronts
and
indignities
he
had
received
from
his
Scotch
Subjects
,
They
favour
the
Scots
.
whom
he
spared
not
to
call
Rebels
;
which
was
somewhat
resented
by
the
Members
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
who
out
of
dislike
of
Episcopacie
here
,
did
not
much
favour
that
War
against
them
,
which
by
a
nick-name
was
then
called
Bellum
Episcopale
.
Therefore
upon
the
Kings
desires
to
them
for
a
supply
of
money
,
by
which
he
might
be
enabled
to
reduce
the
Scots
,
they
presently
started
their
old
grievances
;
which
caused
a
debate
,
whether
the
King
or
the
Subjects
should
be
relieved
first
;
for
so
they
made
the
Scotch
War
the
Kings
personal
and
distinct
business
.
Are
backward
in
assisting
the
King
with
mony
.
This
alteration
,
and
the
apparent
unwillingness
of
the
House
of
Commons
to
advance
any
mony
except
their
previous
desires
(
viz.
of
clearing
the
properties
of
the
Subject
,
and
the
establishing
of
the
true
Religion
,
and
Priviledges
of
Parliament
)
were
confirmed
and
granted
by
the
King
,
reduced
his
Majesty
to
a
present
necessity
and
dilemma
,
either
of
complying
with
the
Scots
,
or
to
take
mony
as
he
could
raise
it
,
by
his
own
credit
and
Authority
,
to
subdue
them
:
for
there
was
no
hopes
in
the
Parliaments
delays
.
And
this
was
the
true
Reason
of
the
dissolving
that
Parliament
,
Are
dissolved
.
which
happened
May
the
5th
,
to
the
great
grief
of
all
good
people
,
who
were
sensible
of
the
Kings
difficulties
,
and
the
approaching
evils
.
The
Convocation
of
the
Clergy
sate
at
the
same
time
,
and
were
continued
beyond
the
Parliaments
dissolution
,
though
contrary
to
practice
and
custom
;
where
,
The
Convocation
of
the
Clergy
sit
,
and
assist
the
King
with
mony
.
as
before
is
said
,
they
contributed
and
confirmed
the
Grant
of
the
fifth
part
of
their
Ecclesiastical
Livings
for
six
years
,
towards
the
carrying
on
of
the
War
against
the
Scots
.
I
may
not
omit
the
concession
of
the
King
in
this
affair
to
the
Parliament
,
wherein
he
offered
upon
the
granting
of
him
some
Subsidies
,
to
remit
and
acquit
his
claim
of
Ship-mony
,
and
other
advantages
of
his
Prerogative
.
They
make
new
Canons
in
opposition
to
Popery
and
the
the
Scotch
Covenant
.
At
this
Convocation
some
new
Canons
were
made
,
with
Salvoes
and
dispensations
for
some
which
had
been
strictly
heretofore
enjoyned
,
but
especially
and
mainly
for
Episcopacie
;
and
the
Doctrine
of
the
Church
of
England
in
opposition
to
Popery
,
was
hereby
established
by
the
Oath
of
&c.
As
likewise
in
opposition
to
the
Scotch
Covenant
.
This
Convocation
ended
May
29.
none
dissenting
but
Dr.
Goodman
Bishop
of
Glocester
,
Bishop
Goodman
dissents
,
who
since
died
a
Roman
Catholique
,
and
owned
that
faith
.
As
a
testimony
of
the
sincerity
of
the
Arch-bishop
of
Canterbury
in
the
Protestant
Religion
,
I
shall
here
insert
therefore
a
passage
relating
to
these
Canons
:
And
is
admonished
by
A.
B.
Laud.
Upon
the
Bishop
of
Glocester's
refusal
thereof
,
the
Arch-Bishop
would
have
proceeded
to
the
Censures
of
the
Church
immediately
,
and
therefore
gave
him
,
according
to
the
Canons
,
three
admonitions
one
upon
the
neck
of
another
,
that
he
should
forthwith
subscribe
:
and
if
he
had
not
been
whispered
,
that
so
weighty
a
matter
required
deliberation
and
distance
of
time
,
he
would
there
have
suspended
him
from
his
Dignities
and
Office
.
This
Noble
Prelate
,
for
these
and
the
like
vigorous
actings
both
in
Church
and
State
,
fell
into
the
obloquy
of
the
male
contents
,
the
Chief
of
whom
were
the
Nonconformists
,
then
called
Puritans
,
who
abounded
in
London
;
the
most
whereof
,
upon
a
distaste
taken
from
the
censure
of
Mr.
Pryn
,
Dr.
Bastwick
,
and
Mr.
Burton
,
did
mightily
maligne
him
;
so
that
on
the
ninth
of
May
,
a
Paper
was
posted
upon
the
Exchange
,
Tot
said
A.
B.
Libelled
,
and
his
house
assaulted
.
animating
Apprentices
to
rise
and
sack
his
house
at
Lambeth
next
Monday
;
which
they
were
the
more
forward
to
do
,
because
it
was
rumoured
,
that
he
was
the
first
instigator
of
the
King
to
dissolve
the
last
Parliament
:
But
he
had
intelligence
of
their
designes
,
and
provided
to
receive
them
.
According
to
their
appointed
time
,
in
the
dead
of
the
night
they
came
,
to
the
number
of
five
hundred
,
and
beset
his
house
,
and
endeavoured
to
enter
;
but
were
quickly
beaten
off
,
and
glad
to
retreat
,
having
in
some
measure
vented
their
anger
against
him
in
railing
and
scandalous
language
(
such
as
the
streets
were
full
of
before
in
scattered
Libels
)
and
breaking
his
glass-windows
.
The
day
following
,
Some
of
the
factio●
imprisoned
,
and
rescued
.
Bensted
a
Seaman
hanged
.
many
of
them
upon
enquiry
were
apprehended
and
imprisoned
,
but
three
days
after
forcibly
rescued
from
thence
by
their
Companions
,
who
broke
open
the
Prison-doors
;
for
which
one
Bensted
a
Sea-man
was
apprehended
,
and
hanged
afterwards
in
St.
Georges-fields
,
and
his
head
and
quarters
set
upon
the
several
Gates
of
the
City
.
The
Scotch
Parliament
now
sat
again
,
and
were
more
violent
in
their
proceedings
than
before
:
The
Scotch
Army
advance
towards
England
.
Henry
Duke
of
Glocester
b●●n
.
The
Earl
of
Northumberland
General
of
the
Kings
Army
.
Earl
of
Strafford
Lieut.
General
.
The
King
comes
to
Northallerton
.
for
having
notice
of
the
discontents
in
England
,
they
presently
advanced
with
their
Army
thitherwards
,
about
the
same
time
that
the
Queen
was
delivered
of
a
Son
,
Henry
Duke
of
Glocester
(
of
whose
decease
we
shall
speak
in
its
place
.
)
The
King
,
to
be
in
a
readiness
to
receive
them
,
had
also
appointed
an
Army
,
of
which
he
made
the
Earl
of
Northumberland
General
,
and
the
Earl
of
Strafford
Lieutenant-General
;
but
the
Earl
of
Northumberland
falling
sick
,
he
himself
sent
away
part
of
the
Army
under
the
Command
of
the
Lord
Conway
,
and
advanced
out
of
London
with
the
remainder
,
and
came
in
person
to
Northallerton
.
During
his
March
,
the
Lord
Conway
had
but
ill
success
.
He
had
drawn
about
1200
Horse
and
3000
Foot
to
secure
the
Passes
upon
Tine
near
Newborn
;
So
far
was
the
Scotch
Army
advanced
under
the
Command
of
General
Lesly
,
(
Earl
of
Leven
,
an
old
Souldier
in
the
Swedish
Wars
)
better
armed
,
intelligenced
,
and
provided
than
the
last
year
:
on
the
27th
of
August
,
Lesly
desired
leave
of
my
Lord
Conway
for
his
whole
Army
to
pass
to
the
King
with
their
Petition
;
which
he
,
as
before
,
avowed
to
be
the
hones●est
,
loyallest
,
and
innocent
thing
in
the
World

but
was
refused
and
stopped
.
Thereupon
three
hundred
Scotch
Horse
attempted
to
cross
the
River
,
and
were
therein
repelled
by
the
shot
of
the
English
Musquetiers
,
who
were
placed
under
the
shelter
of
a
Breast-work
.
This
was
no
sooner
done
,
but
the
Scots
with
nine
pieces
of
Ordinance
,
which
they
had
placed
on
the
side
of
the
River
,
and
blinded
them
with
bushes
,
plaid
upon
those
breast-works
;
which
so
affrighted
the
English
Infantry
,
being
raw
Souldiers
,
and
not
used
to
the
noise
and
execution
of
Canon
,
that
they
presently
forsook
their
Posts
,
cast
down
their
Arms
and
fled
.
Instantly
the
Scotch
Horse
with
their
General
himself
advanced
,
but
were
handsomely
welcomed
by
Commissary-General
Wilmot
,
who
with
the
Cavalry
,
which
consisted
mostly
of
Gentlemen
,
very
stoutly
stood
to
it
,
till
they
were
over-born
by
number
,
and
galled
with
great
Bullets
,
and
so
forced
into
a
disorderly
retreat
.
Here
were
slain
two
or
three
Gentlemen
of
Quality
,
among
which
was
Cornet
Porter
,
Son
to
Endymeon
Porter
of
the
Bed-chamber
,
with
some
fourscore
and
odd
of
common
Souldiers
.
The
Lord
Conway
,
Sir
Jacob
Ashley
deserts
Newcastle
;
that
and
Durham
render
themselves
to
Gen.
Lesley
.
after
this
defeat
,
carried
himself
the
first
news
of
it
to
the
King
,
that
it
might
not
be
told
by
others
to
his
prejudice
;
and
Sir
Iacob
Ashley
Governour
of
Newcastle
,
knowing
the
place
not
tenable
,
deserted
it
,
sinking
the
Ordnance
in
the
River
;
so
that
upon
Lesleys
approach
,
both
that
Town
and
Durham
rendred
themselves
into
his
hands
.
These
losses
accelerated
the
Earl
of
Strafford
into
those
parts
,
who
having
the
supreme
Command
of
the
Army
therefore
conferred
upon
him
,
and
knowing
his
Honour
and
Reputation
to
be
embarqued
in
this
business
,
resolved
to
put
it
to
the
decision
of
the
Sword
,
which
he
was
as
well
able
to
manage
as
his
Pen
:

before
the
King
,
as
if
his
ill
conduct
had
occasioned
it
;
who
as
stoutly
denied
it
,
laying
the
fault
,
as
indeed
it
ought
,
upon
the
rawness
of
his
Souldiers
.
In
Scotland
the
Earl
of
Haddington
,
who
commanded
as
Major-General
the
Forces
raised
,
and
to
be
raised
in
Lothian
,
having
recovered
from
the
Souldiers
of
Berwick
Garrison
the
pieces
of
Ordnance
which
Lesley
had
left
behind
him
at
Dunslo
,
The
Earl
of
Haddington
the
Scots
M.
G.
with
20
Knights
and
Gentlemen
slain
at
Dunglass
.
and
brought
them
to
Dunglass
,
was
the
next
day
slain
,
with
twenty
more
Knights
and
Gentlemen
,
in
the
midst
of
his
Court
,
by
the
stones
that
flew
from
the
Vault
neer
adjoyning
,
which
was
then
blown
up
with
the
Magazine
that
lay
in
it
.
Though
the
Earl
of
Strafford
was
so
eagerly
and
intensly
bent
on
fighting
with
the
Scots
,
yet
with
the
King
(
who
was
loth
to
run
that
hazard
,
not
knowing
how
to
recruit
himself
,
if
he
were
worsted
,
unless
he
should
condescend
as
much
or
more
to
his
English
Subjects
in
Parliament
)
those
Martial
resolutions
soon
abated
,
to
the
regret
of
that
Noble
Earl
,
whose
safety
as
well
as
glory
consisted
in
driving
the
Scots
out
of
this
Kingdom
.
So
that
though
the
King
had
declared
them
to
be
Rebels
and
Traytors
by
Proclamation
,
The
Scots
proclaimed
Traytors
,
and
the
Kings
Royal
Standard
set
up
at
York
.
The
Scots
petition
the
King
,
and
are
answered
by
the
Earl
of
Lanerick
.
and
commanded
that
publick
Prayers
should
be
put
up
against
them
in
all
Churches
,
and
had
set
up
his
Royal
Standard
at
York
;
yet
now
he
was
contented
to
treat
with
them
,
and
to
that
end
received
from
them
a
Petition
stuft
with
their
grievances
;
to
which
he
returned
answer
,
by
his
Secretary
of
Scotland
,
the
Earl
of
Lanerick
,
That
he
expected
their
particular
demands
;
which
were
tendered
to
him
within
three
days
after
,
and
imported
his
Majesties
calling
a
Parliament
in
England
,
without
which
there
could
be
no
satisfying
redress
for
them
.
Thay
had
likewise
published
sometime
before
their
marching
into
England
,
a
Declaration
intituled
,
The
intentions
of
the
Army
;
which
signified
that
they
would
not
lay
down
their
Armes
,
till
the
reformed
Religion
were
setled
in
both
Nations
upon
sure
grounds
,
and
the
causers
and
abetters
of
their
present
grievances
and
troubles
were
brought
to
publique
Justice
,
and
that
in
Parliament
.
In
order
to
the
speedy
accommodation
therefore
of
this
quarrel
,
Twelve
of
the
Nobility
who
were
there
with
the
King
,
by
name
,
Hertford
,
Essex
,
Bedford
,
Warwick
,
Mulgrave
,
Bristol
,
Bullingbrook
,
Say
,
Mandevil
,
Howard
,
Paget
,
and
Brook
,
drew
up
a
Petition
to
the
King
,
and
had
it
delivered
:
after
which
,
others
of
the
same
contents
were
brought
from
London
and
other
places
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
unanimously
agreed
in
this
,
That
nothing
could
satisfie
the
people
,
nor
relieve
their
grievances
and
pressures
,
but
a
Parliament
.
The
Lords
of
England
summoned
to
appear
at
York
.
They
agree
to
call
a
Parliament
.
This
the
King
willingly
assented
to
,
and
in
part
condescended
to
other
of
the
Scots
demands
;
and
for
the
present
summoned
the
Lords
of
England
to
appear
at
York
,
where
accordingly
they
met
;
and
on
the
first
day
of
their
sitting
in
Council
,
it
was
agreed
that
a
Parliament
should
be
called
,
to
convene
the
third
of
November
next
.
And
in
reference
to
the
Scotch
business
,
and
the
poor
oppressed
Northern
Counties
,
where
both
the
Armies
that
Summer
had
quartered
,
(
the
Bishoprick
of
Durham
being
then
taxed
by
the
Scots
at
three
hundred
and
fifty
pound
,
the
Country
of
Northumberland
at
three
hundred
pound
a
day
)
it
was
also
resolved
that
a
Treaty
should
be
had
;
and
thereupon
sixteen
English
Lords
,
whereof
eight
were
Earls
,
the
other
Barons
,
should
meet
with
so
many
of
the
Scotch
Nobility
;
and
the
place
was
assigned
at
York
;
which
was
refused
,
as
not
safe
enough
for
the
Scotch
Commissioners
,
by
reason
of
the
presence
of
the
Lord
Deputy
Strafford
,
who
had
proclaimed
them
Traytors
in
Ireland
,
and
against
whom
they
had
matters
of
high
Complaint
:
A
Treaty
of
peace
at
Rippon
.
And
so
it
was
resolved
it
should
begin
at
Rippon
.
The
English
insist
on
a
Cessation
:
The
Scots
refuse
,
and
propound
4
Praeliminaries
.
The
first
thing
the
English
insisted
on
,
was
a
present
Cessation
;
but
the
Scots
objected
against
that
,
and
said
that
other
things
were
more
expedient
to
be
first
considered
:
For
as
they
would
obey
the
Kings
command
in
advancing
no
further
,
so
would
they
not
go
back
again
till
they
had
accomplisht
the
business
they
came
for
;
and
therefore
propounded
four
Praeliminaries
to
be
resolved
on
,
which
were
concluded
on
and
agreed
to
.
The
Earl
of
Strafford
adviseth
the
King
to
fight
them
,
At
the
first
of
these
,
That
the
Scotch
Army
should
be
paid
and
maintained
out
of
the
English
purse
,
the
Earl
of
Strafford
was
highly
incensed
and
enraged
,
being
so
dishonourable
a
thing
to
the
Nation
;
and
therefore
would
have
perswaded
the
King
to
give
him
leave
to
fight
them
,
no
way
doubting
but
that
he
should
be
able
to
drive
them
presently
into
Scotland
again
,
though
accounted
then
far
superiour
in
Discipline
and
Souldiery
to
the
English
Army
.
But
the
affair
of
the
Treaty
was
so
far
advanced
,
for
the
reasons
aforesaid
,
that
there
was
no
fair
way
of
receding
,
if
the
King
had
been
powerful
enough
to
have
combated
them
,
But
in
conclusion
,
as
some
made
no
scruple
;
so
that
on
the
16
th
of
October
,
the
English
Commanders
,
some
through
fear
,
others
out
of
compliance
with
the
major
part
,
agreed
to
the
ensuing
Articles
,
which
for
an
envious
remark
I
have
transcribed
.
First
,
These
Articles
were
agreed
on
.
That
there
be
a
Cessation
of
Arms
both
by
Sea
and
Land
from
this
present
.
Secondly
,
That
all
Acts
of
Hostility
do
thenceforth
cease
.
Thirdly
,
That
both
parties
shall
peaceably
return
during
the
Treaty
,
whatever
they
possess
at
the
time
of
the
Cessation
.
Fourthly
,
That
all
such
persons
who
lived
in
any
of
his
Majesties
Forts
beyond
the
River
of
Tweed
,
shall
not
exempt
their
Lands
which
lye
within
the
Counties
of
Northumberland
,
and
the
Bishoprick
,
from
such
Contributions
as
shall
be
laid
upon
them
for
the
payment
of
eight
hundred
pound
per
diem
.
Fifthly
,
That
none
of
the
Kings
Forces
upon
the
other
side
of
.
Tweed
,
shall
give
any
impediment
to
such
contributions
as
are
already
allowed
for
the
competency
of
the
Scotch
Army
,
and
shall
fetch
no
victuals
nor
forage
out
of
their
bounds
,
except
that
which
the
inhabitants
and
owners
thereof
shall
bring
voluntarily
to
them
;
and
that
any
restraints
or
detention
of
Victual
,
Cattel
or
Forage
,
which
shall
be
made
by
the
Scots
within
those
bounds
for
their
maintenance
,
shall
be
no
breach
.
Sixthly
,
That
no
recruit
shall
be
brought
into
either
Armies
,
from
the
time
of
the
Cessation
,
and
during
the
Treaty
.
Seventhly
,
That
the
contribution
of
eight
hundred
and
fifty
pounds
per
diem
shall
be
onely
raised
out
of
the
Counties
of
Northumberland
,
Westmerland
,
and
the
Bishoprick
,
and
the
Town
of
Newcastle
;
and
that
the
not
payment
thereof
shall
be
no
breach
of
the
Treaty
,
but
the
Counties
and
Towns
shall
be
left
to
the
Scots
power
to
raise
the
same
,
but
not
to
exceed
the
sum
agreed
upon
,
unless
it
be
for
charges
of
driving
,
to
be
set
by
a
Prizer
of
the
forage
.
Eighthly
,
That
the
River
Tweed
shall
be
the
bounds
of
both
Armies
,
(
excepting
always
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Storkton
,
and
the
Village
of
Egyshiff
;
)
and
the
Counties
of
Northumberland
and
the
Bishoprick
,
be
the
limits
within
which
the
Scotish
Army
is
to
reside
,
having
liberty
from
them
to
send
such
Convoys
as
shall
be
necessary
onely
for
the
gathering
up
of
the
Contribution
which
shall
be
unpaid
by
the
Counties
of
Northumberland
and
Cumberland
.
Ninth
and
Tenth
Articles
of
private
injuries
.
Eleventhly
,
No
new
Fortifications
to
be
made
during
the
Treaty
against
either
Party
.
Twelfthly
,
That
the
Subjects
of
both
Kingdoms
may
in
their
trade
of
Commerce
freely
pass
to
and
fro
without
any
stay
at
all
▪
but
it
is
particularly
provided
,
that
no
member
of
either
Army
pass
without
a
formal
Pass
under
the
hands
of
the
General
,
or
of
him
that
commands
in
chief
.
This
was
the
sum
of
that
unlucky
Cessation
,
which
was
afterwards
at
London
concluded
in
a
Treaty
soon
after
the
sitting
of
the
Parliament
,
who
in
February
next
paid
the
Scots
off
,
giving
them
the
stile
of
their
dear
brethren
:
which
much
pleased
them
,
but
the
money
which
accrewed
by
an
arrear
of
124000
l.
was
a
great
deal
more
acceptable
.
And
thus
with
their
pay
and
dismission
out
of
this
Kingdom
,
I
dismiss
them
for
this
time
from
any
further
Narrative
,
and
look
home
to
our
own
affairs
in
England
.
The
Parliament
sate
down
on
the
third
of
November
,
The
Parliament
set
,
they
question
several
Bishops
and
Iudges
,
and
vote
down
Monopolies
.
and
immediately
fell
to
questioning
several
chief
Ministers
of
State
,
Bishops
and
Judges
;
pretending
thereby
both
to
satisfie
this
Nation
and
the
Scots
:
Monopolies
also
were
voted
down
,
and
much
more
good
was
promised
and
expected
from
the
Parliament
.
The
principal
of
those
Grandees
that
were
accused
,
was
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
against
whom
Mr.
Pym
is
sent
from
the
Commons
to
the
Lords
,
with
an
Impeachment
of
High
Treason
;
Mr.
pym
sent
from
the
Commons
to
the
Lords
with
an
Impeachment
of
high
treason
against
the
Earl
of
▪
Strafford
,
he
is
committed
and
Sir
George
Ratcliff
sent
for
out
of
Ireland
.
Dr.
Williams
Bishop
of
Lincoln
released
,
Mr.
Pryn
,
Dr.
Bastwick
and
Mr.
Burton
received
by
the
Londoners
in
pomp
.
Sir
John
Finch
Lord
Keeper
,
and
Francis
Windebanck
Secretary
of
State
charged
with
high
treason
,
they
with●rew
.
John
James
a
Romish
Catholique
stabs
Iustice
.
Howard
in
Westminster-Hall
whereupon
he
was
sequestred
from
sitting
as
a
Peer
,
and
his
Privado
Sir
George
Ratcliff
was
sent
for
out
of
Ireland
,
by
a
Serjeant
at
Arms.
Soon
after
,
the
aforesaid
Earl
was
committed
to
the
Usher
of
the
Black
Rod
,
and
so
to
the
Tower
,
in
order
to
his
ensuing
Tryal
;
yet
he
obtained
the
assignation
of
Councel
,
and
a
Sollicitor
for
the
better
managing
his
defence
.
The
Bishop
of
Lincoln
contrariwise
was
released
out
of
the
Tower
;
and
Mr.
Pryn
,
Dr.
Bastwick
,
and
Mr.
Burton
returned
from
their
kind
of
banishment
in
great
pomp
and
bravery
,
(
attended
by
many
hundreds
on
Horseback
,
with
boughs
in
their
hands
,
to
London
)
for
the
Tide
was
turned
,
and
ran
strong
the
other
way
.
In
the
interim
,
the
Lord
Keeper
Finch
,
and
Sir
Francis
Windebank
Secretary
of
State
,
both
charged
with
no
less
than
High
Treason
,
wisely
withdrew
themselves
into
Forein
parts
,
and
weathered
the
storm
that
would
have
sunk
them
.
One
Iohn
Iames
,
the
Son
of
Sir
Henry
Iames
of
Feversham
in
Kent
,
and
of
the
Romish
Religion
,
audaciously
adventured
to
stab
Mr.
Howard
a
Justice
of
Peace
,
in
Westminster-Hall
;
the
said
Mr.
Howard
being
about
to
deliver
to
the
Committee
for
Religion
a
Catalogue
of
such
Recusants
as
were
within
his
liberty
.
The
House
of
Commons
now
Voted
the
Assesment
of
Ship-mony
(
about
which
there
had
been
so
much
ado
,
and
so
many
contests
)
together
with
the
Opinions
of
the
Judges
,
and
the
Writs
for
it
,
and
the
judgment
of
the
Exchequer
against
Mr.
Hambden
,
to
be
all
illegal
:
and
the
Arguments
of
the
two
Justices
,
Crook
and
Hutton
,
shewing
the
illegality
thereof
,
to
be
Printed
;
and
also
ordered
a
Charge
of
High-Treason
to
be
drawn
up
against
eight
others
of
the
Judges
.
Which
business
of
Ship-money
being
made
so
accessary
to
our
ensuing
Troubles
,
I
have
thought
fit
to
insert
these
Records
concerning
the
same
.
The
Case
,
as
it
was
stated
by
the
King
to
the
Judges
:
CHARLES
REX
,
The
Case
of
Shipmoney
stated
.
WHen
the
good
and
safety
of
the
Kingdom
in
general
is
concerned
,
and
the
whole
Kingdom
in
danger
,
Whether
may
not
the
King
by
Writ
under
the
Great
Seal
of
England
,
command
all
the
Subjects
in
this
Kingdom
at
their
charge
to
provide
and
furnish
such
number
of
Ships
,
with
Men
,
Victual
,
and
Munition
,
and
for
such
a
time
as
he
shall
think
sit
,
for
the
defence
and
safeguard
of
the
Kingdom
from
such
danger
and
peril
,
and
by
Law
compel
the
doing
thereof
,
in
case
of
refusal
and
refractoriness
?
And
whether
in
such
cases
the
King
is
not
sole
Iudge
both
of
the
danger
,
and
when
and
how
the
same
is
to
be
prevented
and
avoided
?
Their
Opinions
.
The
Iudges
opinions
thereupon
.
MAy
it
please
your
most
excellent
Majesty
,
we
have
according
to
your
Majesties
command
severally
and
every
man
by
himself
,
and
all
of
us
together
,
taken
into
serious
consideration
the
Case
and
Questions
,
signed
by
your
Majesty
,
and
enclosed
in
your
Letter
;
And
we
are
of
opinion
,
that
when
the
good
and
safety
of
the
Kingdom
in
general
is
concerned
,
and
the
whole
Kingdom
in
danger
,
your
Majesty
may
by
Writ
under
the
great
Seal
of
England
command
all
the
Subjects
of
this
your
Kingdom
at
their
charge
to
provide
and
furnish
such
a
number
of
Ships
,
with
men
,
victual
,
and
munition
,
and
for
such
time
as
your
Majesty
shall
think
fit
,
for
the
defence
and
safeguard
from
such
a
danger
and
peril
,
and
that
by
law
your
Majesty
may
compel
the
doing
thereof
in
case
of
refusal
or
refractoriness
.
And
we
are
also
of
opinion
,
that
in
such
case
your
Majesty
is
sole
Iudge
both
of
the
danger
,
and
when
and
how
the
same
is
to
be
prevented
and
avoided
.
This
was
signed
by
all
the
Judges
but
Justice
Hutton
and
Justice
Crook
,
whose
Arguments
were
against
it
for
Mr.
Hambden
,
who
was
sued
for
not
paying
the
Twenty
Shillings
Taxed
upon
him
for
Shipmoney
.
DEcember
27th
,
1640.
Resolved
by
the
Commons
,
Shipmoney
v●t●d
illegal
.
that
the
Charge
impos'd
upon
the
subjects
for
the
providing
and
furnishing
of
Ships
,
and
the
A●●esments
for
that
purpose
,
commonly
called
Shipmoney
,
are
against
the
Laws
of
the
Realm
,
the
Subjects
right
of
property
,
and
contrary
to
former
resolutions
in
Parliament
,
and
to
the
Petition
of
Right
.
Resolved
,
That
the
Extrajudicial
opinions
of
the
Iudges
published
in
the
Star-chamber
,
and
inrolled
in
the
Courts
of
Westminster
,
are
in
whole
and
in
every
part
of
them
against
the
Laws
of
the
Realm
,
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
&c.
This
was
also
so
resolved
by
the
Lords
,
and
by
the
Parliament
ordered
,
That
a
Vacat
be
brought
into
the

by
Mr.

;
which
was
seconded
with

the
Scots

The
Parliament
having
thus
removed
these
men
,
and
growing
every
day
more
and
more
upon
the
affections
of
the
people
,
they
began
to
hammer
upon
the
Bill
for
Triennial
Paliaments
,
The
King
signs
the
Bill
for
Triennial
Parliaments
.
which
soon
after
passed
both
Houses
;
and
to
the
universal
content
of
the
Kingdom
,
was
signed
by
his
Majesty
;
for
which
the
Parliament
,
by
the
Lord
Littleton
Keeper
of
the
great
Seal
,
gave
him
their
most
humble
and
hearty
thanks

being
well
approved
of
by

Houses
;
by
the
lower
whereof
,
a
Vote
passed
against
Bishops
temporal
jurisdiction
;
which
was
afterwards
framed
into
an
Act
,
passed
the
Lords
,
and
was
confirmed
by
the
King
,
who
in
all
things
(
saving
his
Honour
and
Conscience
)
complyed
with
the
desires
of
this
Parliament
.
The
Earl
of
Straffords
Tryal
.
Now
came
the
Earl
of
Straffords
Tryal
,
which
after
various
debates
about
the
Place
,
was
appointed
in
Westminster-Hall
:
the
King
,
Queen
,
and
Prince
,
had
a
place
built
for
them
;
the
Nobility
had
seats
at
the
upper
end
of
the
Court
;
the
Commons
in
a
Committee
sate
below
;
several
of
whom
,
as
Mr.
Pym
,
Mr.
St.
Iohn
,
and
others
,
managed
his
Accusation
:
the
Earl
of
Arundel
was
Lord
High
Steward
,
and
the
Earl
of
Lindsey
Lord
High
Constable
.
The
Charge
or
Impeachment
consisted
of
Twenty
eight
Articles
;
all
which
he
so
learnedly
and
warily
answered
,
defending
himself
with
such
sinewy
Eloquence
,
and
warded
the
points
of
his
accusation
so
dexterously
,
that
the
Lords
could
not
find
the
guilt
which
the
Commons
so
highly
exclaimed
against
,
as
the
greatest
treason
imaginable
.

Among
other
witnesses
,
Sir
David
Fowles
,
and
Sir
William
Pennyman
appeared
against
the
Earl
;
the
first
of
whom
the
Earl
declared
was
his
enemy
,
and
the
latter
,
a
Member
of
the
House
;
of
whom
it
was
observed
,
that
having
testifyed
against
the
Earl
,
he
could
not
abstain
from
weeping
.
Anno
Dom.
1641.
THe
Commons
seeing
they
could
not
condemn
him
by
this
proceeding
,
they
betook
themselves
to
another
,
by
Bill
of
Attainder
;
which
conceding
the
matter
of
Fact
sufficiently
proved
against
him
at
his
Tryal
,
and
by
the
Testimony
also
of
the
Parliament
of
Ireland
,
who
had
prosecuted
him
there
for
the
said
offences
,
He
is

condemned
him
as
guilty
of
high
treason
.
This
Bill
stuck
for
a
while
with
the
Lords
,
till
the
Tumults
coming
down
and
stopping
their
Coaches
,
and
menacing
to
post
up
the
names
of
those
who
favoured
him
under
the
name
of
Straffordians
,
The
faction
make
a
hideous
cry
of
Iustice
.
The
King
with
much
re●uctancy
signs
the
Bill
of
Attainder
.
with
an
impetuous
cry
of
Iustice
,
frighted
many
of
the
Peers
to
assent
to
the
Bill
,
which
yet
passed
but
by
the
plurality
of
seven
voices
against
him
.
No
sooner
was
it
past
there
,
but
the
Commons
presented
it
to
the
King
for
him
to
sign
;
who
very
much
declined
it
▪
but
being
over-perswaded
by
the
dangers
that
were
represented
as
inevitable
consequents
of
his
refusal
,
and
being
also
desired
by
the
said
Noble
Earl
himself
to
give
the
Parliament
content
,
though
through
the
mediation
of
his
own
blood
;
His
Majesty
after
advice
with
the
Bishops
,
did
pass
that
fatal
Bill
,
which
proved
the
Ax
against
his
own
life
.
I
cannot
pass
the
Tragedy
of
this
excellent
States-man
▪
without
a
very
notable
remarque
,
A
notable
remarque
concerning
Sir
Alexander
Carew
.
which
hath
received
credit
from
the
mouthes
of
many
honorable
persons
;
t
was
this
:
At
the
time
of
the
passing
the
Bill
of
Attainder
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
Sir
Bevil-Greenvile
,
and
Sir
Alexander
Carew
,
sitting
together
,
they
both
serving
for
the
same
County
of
Cornwall
,
Sir
●evil
bespoke
Sir
Alexander
in
such-like
words
:
Pray
Sir
let
it
not
be
said
,
than
any
member
of
our
County
should
have
a
hand
in
this
●minous
business
,
and
therefore
pray
give
your
Vote
against
this
Bill
.
To
whom
the
other
instantly
replyed
:
If
I
were
siere
to
be
the
next
man
that
should
suffer
upon
the
same
Scaffold
,
with
the
same
Ax
,
I
would
give
my
consent
to
the
passing
of
it
.
And
we
have
seen
how
exactly
and
in
every
circumstance
this
presagious
saying
of
his
was
afterwards
verified
and
accomplished
.
It
is
observable
,
Those
Bishops
that
consented
to
the
Earls
death
escaped
not
the
fury
of
the
times
.
moreover
,
that
none
of
all
the
Bishops
that
were
advised
with
by
the
King
,
in
reference
to
his
satisfaction
concerning
the
Earls
death
,
escaped
the
fury
of
that
Parliament
and
the
times
;
he
only
excepted
,
as
the
King
himself
notes
in
his
Book
,
who
counselled
him
by
no
means
,
not
for
any
considerations
or
reason
of
State
or
Time
whatsoever
,
to
act
against
his
conscience
;
but
that
obeying
the
Dictates
thereof
,
he
should
refer
the
Issue
to
God
:
which
Counsel
had
it
been
followed
,
doubtless
those
miseries
which
ensued
presently
after
had
,
never
befallen
him
nor
his
Kingdomes
;
the
Earl
being
indeed
one
of
the
chief
Pillars
and
Basis
of
his
Authority
and
Government
,
without
whose
ruine
the
Grandees
of
the
Faction
knew
they
could
not
effect
or
accomplish
any
thing
;
such
an
absolute
,
rare
,
honest
,
and
loyal
master-piece
of
Reason
and
Prudence
,
(
so
much
strength
of
spirit
to
quicken
his
undertakings
joyned
therewith
)
the
age
present
saw
not
,
and
well
will
it
be
for
the
next
if
it
may
compare
and
parallel
him
.
Thus
far
to
the
memory
of
his
most
useful
life
;
we
must
also
parentate
something
to
his
lamented
and
most
causeless
death
,
from
which
,
as
we
shall
see
in
the
conclusion
of
this
History
,
he
had
a
most
honourable
Resurrection
here
.
On
Sunday
May
2.
was
solemnized
at
Court
the
marriage
between
the
young
Prince
of
Orange
and
the
Princess
Mary

Sir
Dudley
Carleton
the
Earls
Secretary
brings
him
word
of
his
Majesties
having
passed
the
Bill
of
Attainder
.
Before
we
attend
the
Earl
to
the
Stage
,
it
will
not
be
unworthy
the
Readers
patience
,
to
observe
Sir
Dudley
Carleton
,
the
Earls
Secretary
,
bringing
him
the
news
of
the
Kings
passing
the
Bill
of
Attainder
:
the
Earl
believing
the
King
would
not
have
done
it
,
arose
from
his
chair
,
and
lifting
up
his
eyes
to
Heaven
,
clapt
his
hand
upon
his
heart
,
and
said
,
Put
not
your
trust
in
Princes
,
nor
in
the
sons
of
men
,
for
in
them
there
is
no
salvation
.
A
design
was
laid
for
his
escape
,
if
we
may
believe
Sir
William
Balfore
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
at
that
time
,
whose
report
upon
examination
was
,
that
the
Earl
sent
for
him
four
days
before
his
suffering
,
and
endeavoured
to
perswade
him
to
connive
at
his
escape
,
promising
to
reward
him
with
twenty
thousand
pounds
,
and
his
Daughter
in
marriage
to
Balfores
Son
.
The
said
Balfore
saying
further
,
that
he
was
commanded
to
admit
Captain
Billingsley
to
march
into
the
Tower
with
an
hundred
men
,
for
the
better
securing
of
the
place
;
but
the
said
Billingsley
coming
he
was
denyed
entrance
by
Balfore
:
whereupon
the
Earl
expostulates
with
the
Lieutenant
,
of
the
danger
of
opposing
the
Kings
command
;
Balfore
answering
,
that
a
design
of
his
escape
was
discovered
by
three
good-wives
of
Tower-street
,
that
peeping
in
at
the
key-hole
of
his
door
,
they
saw
him
walking
with
Billingsley
,
and
heard
them
advising
thereon
,
and
of
a
Ship
to
be
in
readiness
for
him
below
the
River
.
On
the
8th
of
May
,
1641.
the
said
Earl
was
brought
to
the
Scaffold
on
Tower-Hill
,
where
were
present
some
of
the
Nobility
,
Sir
George
Wentworth
his
Brother
,
and
the
Archbishop
of
Armagh
,
to
whom
principally
he
directed
his
Speech
(
which
being
so
publique
,
Life
in
Mr.
Lloyds
Memoires
.
and
transmitted
by
so
many
pens
,
cannot
certainly
fail
posterity
)
and
with
much
Christian
resolution
,
was
offered
there
as
a
Sacrifice
to
popular
fury
,
heightned
and
enraged
by
the
artifices
and
designs
of
some
innovating
principal
Leaders
to
the
following
breaches
and
Rebellion
.
To
sum
up
all
our
misery
in
the
total
of
this
noble
person
,
the
same
day
the
King
signed
the
Bill
for
his
Execution
,
he
signed
also
another
for
the
continuing
of
this
Parliament
till
they
should
dissolve
themselves
;
the
only
lasting
monument
of
all
our
troubles
.
The
Scots
having
thus
obtained
their
aims
against
this
honourable
person
,
The
English
Army
disband
,
the
Scotch
receive
a
vast
sum
of
money
,
and
return
home
.
The
King
visits
his
Parliament
of
Edinburgh
.
The
Earl
of
Leicester
made
Lord
Lieutenant
of
Ireland
.
whom
they
termed
the
enemy
of
their
Country
,
and
having
received
a
vast
sum
of
money
(
blood
,
and
the
price
of
blood
together
)
were
now
pleased
upon
the
disbanding
of
the
English
Army
,
to
march
home
and
disband
also
,
as
was
before
intimated
;
having
first
obtained
of
his
Majesty
a
grant
to
be
present
at
the
next
sitting
of
their
Parliament
at
Edinburgh
;
which
his
Majesty
condescended
to
,
and
in
August
came
thither
,
having
before
his
departure
constituted
the
Earl
of
Leicester
Lord-Lieutenant
of
Ireland
,
in
the
place
of
the
Earl
of
Strafford
;
but
through
the
Rebellion
,
and
other
contingencies
and
reasons
of
State
falling
out
,
he
never
went
over
in
that
quality
,
though
preparations
were
made
both
here
and
there
in
order
to
his
Government
.
On
the
seventeenth
of
May
,
divers
of
the
Kings
chiefest
Officers
of
State
,
fearing
they
might
likewise
be
subject
to
the
same
destructive
change
with
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
resigne
their
places
;
viz.
The
Lord
Cottington
Master
of
the
Wards
,
to
the
Lord
Say
.
Doctor
Iuxon
then
Bishop
of
London
,
resignes
his
office
of
Treasurer
of
England
,
to
five
Commissioners
.
Marquess
Hertford
was
also
sworn
governour
to
the
Prince
,
in
the
stead
of
the
Earl
of
Newcastle
.
The
Earl
of
Pembroke
displaced
from
being
Lord
Chamberlain
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
the
Earl
of
Essex
ordered
to
succeed
him
.
Upon
the
Kings
going
for
Scotland
,
the
Parliament
was
Adjourned
till
the
20
of
October
;
The
Parliament
adjourned
.
The
faction
encreaseth
and
grows
strong
.
during
which
recess
,
and
his
Majesties
absence
,
the
ill
humours
of
discontents
gathered
amain
.
The
Faction
was
strengthened
at
home
,
by
open
and
avowed
correspondencies
,
which
became
publique
in
menaces
and
threatnings
against
the
remaining
disorders
and
abuses
in
the
Government
.
The
Ax
had
but
tasted
of
that
blood
,
of
which
it
soon
after
glutted
it self
;
all
persons
of
all
Ranks
and
Conditions
,
King
,
Archbishop
,
Duke
,
Marquess
,
Earls
,
Lords
,
Knights
,
Gentlemen
,
Ministers
,
Mechanicks
,
suffering
under
its
edge
.
A
remarkable
thing
,
the
parallel
of
it
being
no
where
in
our
English
Chronicles
:
But
so
the
Noble
Earl
of
Straffords
blood
was
expiated
,
and
his
innocency
attended
with
the
like
victimes
.
The
Parliament
now
met
together
after
their
adjournment
,
the
King
being
still
in
Scotland
,
The
King
settles
the
affairs
of
Scotland
.
where
he
so
ordered
affairs
by
his
indulgence
and
bounty
,
that
it
was
verily
thought
upon
his
departure
,
he
had
not
left
a
malecontent
in
that
Kingdom
:
to
the
confirmation
of
which
opinion
,
the
Scots
were
not
wanting
themselves
;
it
being
their
complement
,
grown
to
a
publique
expression
,
that
his
Majesty
departed
a
contented
King
,
from
a
contented
people
.
The
Parliament
at
Westminster
had
scarce
yet
sat
in
a
full
House
from
their
Adjournment
,
curiously
prying
into
the
Errors
and
male-Administration
of
the
Government
here
,
but
the
fearful
news
came
of
a
horrid
Rebellion
broke
forth
in
Ireland
.
A
Rebellion
in
Ireland
.
It
seems
no
sooner
that
careful
diligent
eye
of
the
Earl
of
Strafford
was
first
distorted
by
the
Scotch
affairs
,
and
after
put
out
and
extinguished
by
the
English
envy
,
but
the
Irish
resumed
their
wonted
desires
after
liberty
,
which
they
never
yet
attempted
upon
a
less
foundation
than
a
total
Massacre
,
and
utter
extirpation
of
the
English
in
that
Kingdom
;
so
that
in
effect
,
however
the
Parliament
threw
the
odium
of
that
Rebellion
there
upon
the
King
,
Questionless
it
can
be
no
where
imputable
ab
extra
,
from
without
,
but
from
their
unwarrantable
proceeding
against
the
said
Earl
,
whose
name
and
presence
alone
would
have
been
sufficient
to
have
prevented
it
,
or
his
wisdom
and
power
able
to
have
suppressed
it
.
This
affrighting
news
when
the
Kingdom
was
already
in
a
trepidation
,
labouring
with
its
own
fears
and
pretended
dangers
,
soon
brought
the
King
from
Scotland
,
The
King
returns
from
Scotland

and
is
magnificently
received
at
London

with
all
possible
haste
to
London
;
where
,
notwithstanding
those
troubles
,
he
was
most
welcomly
,
and
as
magnificently
entertained
;
the
Citizens
on
Horseback
with
Gold-chains
,
and
in
their
several
Liveries
,
in
Rayles
placed
along
the
streets
,
chearfully
receiving
him
;
the
sober
part
of
the
Nation
not
valuing
the
Irish
troubles
,
if
the
King
and
his
Parliament
should
but
happily
agree
:
if
the
breaches
could
be
but
closed
here
,
there
was
no
doubt
of
stanching
the
wound
there
.
But
it
was
otherwise
meant
by
the
faction
,
who
added
that
conflagration
as
fuel
to
this
;
suggesting
to
the
multitude
,
that
what
was
acted
against
the
Protestants
there
,
was
likewise
intended
to
be
put
in
Execution
here
;
the
Authors
of
one
,
being
also
so
of
the
other
;
sinisterly
traducing
the
King
as
inclining
to
Popery

Sir
Richard
Gurney
Lord
Mayor
of
London
.
which
they
point-blank
charged
upon
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
;
which
imputation
diffused
it self
afterwards
upon
the
whole
Order
.
This
torrent
of
the
multitude
was
swelled
so
high
,
even
at
this
reception
of
the
King
,
that
one
Walker
an
Iron-monger
,
as
his
Majesty
passed
from
Guild-Hall
(
where
he
was
most
sumptuously
feasted
at
the
City-charge
,
Sir
Richard
Gurney
being
then
Mayor
)
threw
into
his
Coach
a
scandalous
Libel
,
Intituled
,
To
your
Tents
,
O
Israel
:
which
indignity
the
King
complained
of
,
and
thereupon
Walker
was
put
in
Prison
;
yet
afterwards
he
Libelled
a
great
deal
worse
,
both
in
Press
and
Pulpit
.
But
since
the
settlement
of
the
Church
,
he
procured
a
lawful
Ordination
.
I
mention
this
man
,
as
the
shame
of
that
zealotry
which
so
furiously
commenced
this
unnatural
War
.
The
first
business
transacted
with
the
King
by
the
two
Houses
,
was
an
account
of
the
Irish
Rebellion
;
the
King
having
acquainted
them
in
a
short
Speech
of
his
composure
of
the
Scotch
troubles
,
and
soon
after
conjuring
them
to
joyn
with
him
in
the
speedy
suppressing
of
the
Irish
,
Most
of
the
Irish
Nobility
revolted
:
Sir
Phelim
Oneal
their
chief
command●r
.
whose
dangers
grew
every
day
greater
,
Iobs
Messengers
perpetually
bringing
over
worser
and
worser
news
from
that
Kingdom
,
where
most
of
the
Nobility
were
confederated
in
that
horrid
revolt
,
having
made
Sir
Phelim
Oneal
(
the
chief
of
the
family
of
Tyrone
,
the
late
famous
Rebel
there
in
the
latter
part
of
the
Raign
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
and
bred
in
Lincolns-Inn
,
and
then
a
Protestant
,
but
turned
a
bloody
Papist
,
though
a
most
sneaking
and
silly
Coward
)
the
supreme
Commander
of
their
Forces
,
which
then
were
raised
in
great
numbers
throughout
all
the
Provinces
.
Deep
waters

stillest
,
A
full
account
of
the
Irish
Rebellion
,
and
proceedings
of
the
War
there
.
and
with
the
least
noise
;
so
was
it
with
this
Plot.
It
was
very
strange
that
a
designe
of
such
vastness
,
of
so
great
mischief
and
horrour
,
should
be
concealed
among
a
multitude
that
were
concerned
in
it
:
But
this
devilish
secrecy
was
imputable
onely
to
the
ancient
irreconciliable
malice
of
the
Irish
against
the
English
,
whose
yoke
sundry
times
they
had
attempted
to
shake
off
;
not
for
any
oppression
they
were
under
,
but
out
of
a
natural
desire
of
being
Lords
and
Masters
of
their
own
liberty
.
But
nevertheless
it
pleased
God
that
it
came
in
the
very
nick
of
the
execution
of
their
Plot
to
be
revealed
by
one
of
that
Nation
,
or
otherwise
that
Kingdom
had
been
in
danger
to
be
lost
,
as
Sicily
was
from
the
French
,
by
a
sudden
massacre
.
The
chief
Instrument
in
carrying
on
this
horrible
Plot
,
Roger
Moor
the
chief
instrument
in
the
plot
.
was
one
Roger
Moor
,
descended
of
an
ancient
Irish
family
,
but
allyed
to
most
of
the
Gentlemen
of
the
English
Pale
:
He
made
several
journeys
into
all
the
four
Provinces
of
this
Kingdom
,
communicating
his
intelligences
from
forrain
Popish
Courts
,
and
the
transactions
of
their
Priests
and
Fryars
there
,
to
the
encouragement
of
this
Revolt
.
Another
of
the
greatest
confidents
and
complices
in
this
designe
,
was
the
Lord
Viscount
Gormanston
,
The
Lord
Viscount
Gormanston
one
of
their
complices
.
of
the
English
Pale
,
which
generally
sided
with
the
Rebels
,
(
as
being
inoculated
into
Irish
stocks
,
and
were
Papists
generally
)
though
against
all
opinion
of
the
Council
,
for
that
they
had
been
such
enemies
to
the
Earl
of
Tyrone
,
in
his
grand
Rebellion
.
But
the
menacing
speeches
,
and
denunciations
of
the
English
Parliament
against
Papists
in
both
Kingdoms
,
especially
in
this
,
where
they
threatned
a
total
extirpation
,
cannot
be
denyed
to
be
one
,
if
not
the
principal
cause
why
they
made
this
defection
from
their
Country
and
Allegiance
.
The
23
of
October
was
the
day
pitcht
upon
for
the
general
rising
;
and
the
Lord
Macguire
,
Col.
Mac
Mahon
,
Col.
Plunket
,
and
Capt.
Fox
,
Hugh
Birn
and
Roger
Moor
,
were
appointed
for
the
seizure
of
Dublin-Castle
;
which
would
at
once
have
done
their
work
:
those
persons
(
with
a
competent
number
of
men
to
their
assistance
)
came
one
day
before
to
Town
,
and
had
conference
together
at
the
Lyon-Tavern
near
Copper-Ally
,
where
one
Owen
O
Conally
an
Irish
Gentleman
,
but
a
retainer
to
Sir
Iohn
Clotworthy
,
was
admitted
,
and
by
Mac
Mahon
informed
of
the
conspiracy
.
After
a
large
drinking
to
their
next
mornings
success
,
Owen
O
Conally
discovers
the
Plot.
Iu●●ice
Parsons
and
Sir
Jo.
Borlace
double
their
Watches
.
O
Conally
privily
repaired
to
the
Lord
Justice
Parsons
,
(
to
whom
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Borlace
the
other
Justice
,
the
Government
was
committed
after
my
Lord
Straffords
death
:
The
Lord
Dillon
was
likewise
named
and
constituted
;
but
to
avoid
the
jealousie
,
and
grudgings
thereat
,
the
King
had
disauthorized
him
)
and
very
disturbedly
and
confusedly
,
by
reason
of
the
drink
,
and
his
horrour
at
the
story
,
revealed
the
chiefest
part
of
it
.
It
was
thereupon
advised
by
the
said
Lord
Justice
,
for
a
fuller
and
certainer
account
,
to
send
him
back
again
to
the
said
Mac
Mahon
,
commanding
him
to
return
that
night
again
to
him
;
which
he
did
from
the
said
Tavern
and
company
(
who
would
have
kept
him
there
all
night
)
by
pretending
to
ease
himself
;
and
thence
leaping
over
a
wall
and
a
set
of
pales
into
the
streets
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Lord
Justice
Parsons
went
to
the
Lord
Borlaces
house
,
and
there
assembled
a
Council
,
by
the
coming
of
Sir
Thomas
Rotheram
,
and
Sir
Robert
Meredith
;
who
resolved
first
to
attend
the
return
of
O
Conally
,
who
in
his
way
to
them
had
been
seized
by
the
Watches
,
which
by
the
order
of
Justice
Parsons
had
been
doubled
and
reinforced
,
and
the
Castle
of
Dublin
manned
and
guarded
very
stoutly
.
But
by
the
diligence
of
one
of
the
Lord
Parsons
servants
,
who
was
set
expresly
to
walk
the
streets
,
and
attend
the
motion
of
Conally
,
he
was
found
in
the
Constables
hands
,
and
brought
before
them
,
where
being
recovered
from
his
distemper
,
he
gave
a
perfect
narrative
of
the
Treason
intended
;
and
that
when
the
Conspitators
had
gotten
the
Cas●le
and
the
Ammunition
and
Stores
,
&c.
they
would
batter
the
Chimneys
,
and
then
the
Houses
of
the
Town
,
till
it
yielded
,
and
then
kill
all
the
Protestant
Inhabitants
;
and
that
the
like
would
be
executed
the
same
time
in
all
parts
of
the
Kingdom
.
Mac
Mahon
and
Mac-Guire
,
their
Lodgings
watched
.
Mac
Mahon
and
his
men
after
some
resistance
are
s●cured
,
and
confess
the
Plot.
The
Lord
Mac-guire
seized
.
Upon
this
discovery
,
the
Lords
ordered
the
Lodgings
of
Mac
Mahon
and
Mac
Guire
to
be
set
and
watched
;
but
upon
further
advice
,
they
sent
before
day
and
seized
Mac
Mahon
.
He
and
his
man
at
first
made
some
resistance
with
drawn
swords
;
but
seeing
he
was
overpowred
,
yeilded
,
and
being
brought
before
the
Council
,
confessed
the
whole
Plot
,
adding
,
that
it
was
impossible
for
them
to
prevent
it
;
and
that
it
was
true
,
they
had
him
in
their
power
,
and
might
use
him
as
they
pleased
,
but
he
was
sure
he
should
be
revenged
.
He
was
the
Grandson
of
the
Rebel
Tyrone
.
The
Lord
Macguire
was
next
seized
;
but
the
other
four
got
away
in
the
dark
,
by
the
aid
of
some
of
the
Townsmen
:
and
of
all
those
that
came
up
in
numbers
to
the
City
,
and
left
their
horses
in
the
Suburbs
,
of
which
the
Council
had
notice
betimes
,
and
seized
some
of
them
,
and
got
notice
thereby
of
the
owners
,
there
were
not
(
by
the
slack
pursuit
of
the
Inhabitants
)
above
thirty
,
(
and
those
servants
,
and
inconsiderable
persons
)
that
were
taken
.
Mac
Guire
and
Mac
Mahon
were
committed
to
the
custody
of
the
Constable
of
the
Castle
.
The
Council
warn
the
people
of
the
Rebellion
by
Proclamation
.
The
same
day
,
October
23.
the
Councel
emitted
a
Proclamation
,
giving
notice
of
the
Rebellion
,
raised
by
some
evil
affected
Irish
Papists
:
which
character
,
at
the
instance
of
the
Lords
of
the
English
Pale
,
and
to
give
them
content
,
in
whose
Loyalty
at
present
rested
the
hope
of
the
Kingdom
,
was
changed
into
this
discrimination
,
The
evil
affected
of
the
old
Irish
in
the
Province
of
Ulster
.
But
notwithstanding
,
soon
after
they
absolutely
declared
themselves
for
the
Rebels
;
having
by
their
temporizing
in
this
manner
,
gained
a
great
quantity
of
Arms
from
Dublin
,
and
then
refused
to
appear
there
at
the
summons
of
the
Council
;
giving
themselves
the
name
of
the
Confederate
Catholick
Army
.
The
Lord
Blaweys
House
,
Wife
and
Children
surprised
.
The
Newry
surprized
,
with
several
other
places
of
strength
.
The
same
night
,
the
23
of
October
,
the
Lord
Blawey
arrived
at
Dublin
with
the
news
of
the
surprizal
of
his
House
,
Wife
and
Children
by
the
Rebels
of
the
County
of
Monaghan
;
and
the
day
after
,
Sir
Arthur
Tyrringham
brought
news
of
the
suprizal
of
the
Newry
;
which
was
seconded
with
notice
of
the
like
seisure
of
Fort
Montjoy
,
Carlemont
,
To●rages
,
Carick
,
Mac-Ross
,
Cloughouter
,
and
Castle
of
Monaghan
,
being
all
of
them
places
of
considerable
strength
,
besides
a
multitude
of
other
Houses
of
strength
,
Castles
and
Towns
filled
with
British
Inhabitants
,
who
by
immuring
themselves
,
and
not
joyning
in
a
Body
,
were
ruined
easily
one
after
another
,
whereas
otherwise
they
might
have
been
able
to
have
defeated
this
barbarous
Enemy
.
The
Rebels
take
Dundalk
,
&
besiege
Tredagh
.
They
commit
horrid
Massacres
in
sundry
places
.
These
successes
were
obtained
under

ensigns

who
with
their
torces
advancing
Southwards
,
took
in
Dundalk
,
and
besieged
Tredagh
;
the
Lords
of
the
Pale
publiquely
joyning
with
them
,

being
made
Lord
General
thereof
;
Hugh
Birn
Lieutenant
General
,
and
the
Earl
of
Fingale
General
of
the
Horse
.
Every
day
and
hour
came
Tydings
of
the
most
horrid
massacres
committed
in
the
Counties
of
Down
,
Fermanagh
,
Monaghan
,
Antrim
,
and
Armagh
:
those
that
escaped
to
the
Sea-Towns
,
the
Inland
being
all
lost
,
perishing
there
by
their
hard
and
starving
march
,
both
hungry
and
naked
,
and
pestring
the
few
Garrisons
of
Colrain
,
Carick-fergus
and
London
Derry
;
and
of
the
multitude
of
those
that
got
to
Dublin
,
not
one
in
five
survived
the
want
and
tire
of
their
journey
;
insomuch
that
some
being
over-driven
by
the
Rebels
,
have
been
forced
to
leave
their
Infants
and
young
Children
in
the
High-ways
,
which
were
knocked
on
the
head
by
them
.
Nor
was
this
calamity
all
;
such
as
got
shipping
for
England
were
most
of
them
drowned
,
and
others
three
moneths
at
Sea
,
the
winter
and
that
season
of
the
year
was
so
rude
and
tempestuous
;
while
the
Rebels
gloried
in
their
successes
and
cruelties
,
and
this
extraordinary
displeasure
of
the
Almighty
towards
these
their
causless
Adversaries
.
That
I
may
not
pass
this
doleful
subject
without
some
particular
testimony
of
their
barbarousness
,
I
will
instance
that
inhumane
murder
at
Portnedown
Bridg
,
where
in
the
very
beginning
of
the
Rebellion
at
several
times
they
forced
1800
men
,
1800
P●rsons
drowned
.
women
and
children
with
pikes
and
halberts
off
that
Bridge
into
the
River
,
and
drowned
them
all
:
soon
after
which
,
there
were
such
ghastly
apparitions
seen
,
and
such
screeches
of
revenge
heard
,
that
the
Irish
inhabitants
were
forced
to
remove
their
Creats
or
Hovels
out
of
the
dreadful
noise
and
clamor
thereof
.
In
sum
,
there
was
never
such
a
Diabolical
Fury
,
Treachery
and
Perfidiousness
in
the
world
,
which
consumed
in

had
kept
in
miserable
durance
and
captivity
.
Dublin
was
now
in
great
streights
and
frights
;
which
the
miseries
of
those
poor
Wretches
that
made
it
their
refuge
,
rendred
more
dismal
.
The
whole
Irish
Army
consisted
but
of
2000
Foot
and
1000
Horse
,
and
so
dis-joyned
,
that
there
was
as
much
danger
of
embodying
them
,
as
staying
there
where
they
were
,
(
for
seven
Companies
of
Foot
had
been
lost
,
with
their
Garrisons
,
already
,
to
the
Rebels
,
most
of
the
Souldiers
being
Irish.
Nor
was
there
any
money
in
the
Treasury
;
onely
3000
l.
destined
to
pay
a
publick
debt
in
England
,
was
stopt
for
present
use
;
by
which
means
a
Regiment
was
raised
for
Sir
Henry
Titchburn

A
Regiment

to
the
King

the
Lord
Lieutenant
,
and
the
Parliament
.
to
reinforce
the
Garrison
of
Tredagh
,
into
which
the
Lord
Moor
now
Earl
thereof
had
opportunely
put
himself
with
his
Troop
of
Horse
;
for
the
Townsmen
were
false
and
wavering
:
Sir
Henry
arrived
safe
thither
in
two
days
march
from
Dublin
,
November
the
4th
.
Another
Regiment
was
raised
for
Sir
Charles
Coot
,
who
was
to
be
Governour
of
the
City
,
now
in
great
fear
and
despair
;
for
the
Rebels
were
near
it
on
every
side
:
this
Regiment
was
made
up
mostly
of
those
men
who
came
stript
and
despoiled
out
of
the
North
,
and
who
lived
to
see
themselves
revenged
of
the
Irish.
Applications
were
likewise
made
,
and
Expresses
sent
to
the
King
,
then
in
Scotland
;
to
the
Lord
Lieutenant
the
Earl
of
Leicester
,
and
both
Houses
of
Parliament
at
Westminster
,
who
readily
voted
a
potent
relief
;
but
by
their
debates
and
quarrels
with
the
King
,
on
purpose
retarded
it
,
till
all
was
near
lost
in
that
Kingdom
;
the
envy
whereof
they
loaded
upon
his
Majesty
,
than
whom
no
Prince
could
ever
be
more
affected
with
the
sadness
of
such
a
calamity
,
I
may
not
omit
that
Owen
O
Conally
,
who
was
sent
with
the
express
to
the
Parliament
,
was
rewarded
by
them
according
to
the
desire
of
the
Council
of
Ireland
with
200

The

now

the
title
of

Sir

as
did
Col.

for

a

was
raised
,

Tredagh

at
the
instance
of
the
Governour

and
accordingly
on
the
27th
of
November
they
begun
this
short
Expedition
,
accompanied
with
50
Horse
of
the
Earl
of
Ormonds
under
Sir
Patrick
Weems
;
but
by
ill
conduct
,
and
loytering
in
the
way
,
and
the
unexpertness
of
those
raw
foot-Souldiers
,
they
were
of
a
sudden
in
a
mist
attaqued
by
a
body
of
the
Rebels
near
Iulian
Town-bridg
,
and
there
being
deserted
by

most
shamefully
routed

being
cut
off
:
The
news
whereof
arrived
to
the
Governour
,
just
as
he
was
returned
from
the
place
of
his
disappointed
meeting
with
them
the
day
before
,
by
reason
of
their
delayed
advance
.
Proud
with
this
success
,
as
with
the
taking
of
Mellefont-house
,
the
Mansion
of
the
Lord
Moor
,
which
had
been
stoutly
defended
,
they
made
sure
of
Tredagh
,
and
drew
their
●orces
about
it
;
whereas
had
they
marched
for
Dublin
,
where
they
had
too
many
friends
,
and
whence
Sir
Charles
Coot
was
marched
into
the
County
of
Wicklow
to
repress
the
insolencies
of
the
Birns
and
Tools
towards
the
poor
English
,
from
whom
they
had
taken
Carews

,
and
possessed
themselves

the
chief
Gentlemens

being

was
encountred
by

Irish
,
whom
he
quickly
made
run
into
a
Bog
,
with
some
loss
,
and
came
safe
home
.
Now
the
Lords
and
Gentry
of
the
English
Pale
plainly
discovered
themselves
,
and
,
as
is
touched
before
,
assisted
in
the
siege
of
Tredagh
;
and
thereby
Lemster
and
Vlster
became
United
in
this
Rebellion
,
in
which
Munster
was
not
engaged
till
December
.
(
At
this
time
also
they
emitted
their
Declaration
,
wherein
they
dec●ared
for
the
exercise
of
the
Roman
Catholick
Religion
,
their
Rights
and
Priviledges
,
and
the
Kings
Prerogative
;
and
justified
their
taking
arms
to
those
purposes
,
by
the
example
of
the
Scots
,
who
had
obtained
their
demands
thereby
:
And
next
,
they
presume
to
face
Dublin
,
theatning
to
encamp
at
Clantarfe
very
near
the
Harbour
thereof
,
which
they
intended
to
stop
from
receiving
any
succours
,
but
at
the
approach
of
Sir
Charles
Coot
they
fled
thence
,
and
the
Town
was
pillaged
,
and
some
part
burnt
,
for
that
they
had
robbed
a
Barge
,
and
some
of
the
goods
were
found
in
Mr.
Kings
house
,
who
with
Luke
Nettervil
,
and
others
had
now
encamped
themselves
again
at
Swords
within
six
miles
of
Dublin
with
20000
men
,
and
had
possessed
the
Castle
of
Artain
and
other
places
within
two
miles
thereof
:
At
Castle-Lyons
and
Rath
there
lay
2000
more
,
who
came
out
of
Caterlagh
,
Kings
County
and
Kildare
,
under
Roger
Moor.
This
was
on
the
East-side
:
on
the
South-side
lay
the
Birnes
and
the
Tools
,

had
lodged
themselves
in

the
Sea-side

so
that
their
Forces
now
in
Lemster
amounted
to
20000
men
.
About
this
time
the
Naas
and
Kildare
were
taken
,
as
were
Trim
and
Ashbey
in
the
County
of
Meath
,
by
the
Rebels
;
and
no
better
news
was
to
be
hoped
for

the

of
Dublin
could
not

)
lent

by
agreement
at

in
revenge
of
those
spoils
and
massacres
committed
,
made
the
same
bloody
havock
and
waste
,
and
in
the
beginning
of
the
next
year
took
in
and
recovered
sundry
Towns
and
Castles
,
particularly
the
Newry
;
which
,
with
the
like
successes
of
Sir
Simon
Harcourt
and
Sir
Charles
Coot
in
Lemster
,
had
almost
flag'd
the
hearts
of
the
Irish
,

made
them
willing

a
Cessation

Leave

that
Kingdom

condition

King
soon
after
his
return

rest

vacate
himself
a
little
from
the
toil
and
burden
of
business
,
retired
to
Hampton-Court
,
whence
notwithstanding
,
the
importunity
of
his
affairs
straight
recalled
him
to
his
Court
at
White-Hall
,
where
he
was
sundry
times
tumulted
by
a
numerous
rabble
out
of
London

crying
out
No
Bishops
,
with
other
affronting
language
to
the
King
himself
,
as
they
passed
by
the
Court-Gates
to
Westminster
,
where
Col.
Lunsford
(
then
nominated
to
be
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
,
but
not
confided
in
by
the
Citizens
no
more
than
others
appointed
to
that
charge
,
till
Sir
William
Balfour
had
possession
thereof
)
and
some
other
Gentlemen
,
drew
upon
them
,
and
wounded
some
of
them
;
which
so
exasperated
them
,
that
the
next
time
they
came
down
armed
,
and
in
greater
numbers
,
to
the
terror
and
affrightment
of
the
parts
adjacent
to
the
Court
:
an
ill
omen
or
presage
of
those
dire
revolutions
which
followed
.
The
beginning
of
these
uproars
were
like
themselves
,
at
first
tumultuary
,
and
consisted
of
the
rabble
onely
;
but
the
kind
reception
they
found
from
some
Parliament-Members
,
who
tacitely
encouraged
their
rude
clamours
,
and
smiled
upon
their
numbers
,
moved
Citizens
of
the
best
quality
to
joyn
with
those
Club-men
;
and
now
they
began
to
marshal
their
multitudes
into
rank
and
File
;
the
eminent
zealots
,
some
of
them
Aldermens
fellows
,
being
right-hand-men
,
or
else
placing
themselves
in
the
intervals
like
Officers
;
and
upon
their
return
by
night
,
which
was
the
usual
course
,
carried
Links
in
their
hands
,
like
right
boutefeus
,
to
light
their
Complices
and
Partakers
in
this
monstrous
Riot
:
So
that
the
danger
appearing
in
a
method
and
form
,
the
dire
prognostick
of
Battalia
,
and
flighting
the
opposition
of

Corps
du
Guard
erected
over
against

,
Sir
William
Mason
heads
the
Gentlemen
of
Grays-Inne
to
White-Hall
,
prostering
them
and
himself
to
his
Majesty
as
a
guard
for
his
person
.
which
was
maintained
by
the
Trained
Bands
of
St.
Clements
and
St.
Martins
;
the
Gentlemen
of
the
honourable
Society
of
Grayes-Inne
,
under
the
leading
of
Sir
William
Mason
,
in
good
order
ranked
two
and
two
,
marched
from
their
randezvouz
at
Covent-Garden
to
White-Hall
,
and
proffered
their
Loyal
Service
to
the
King
,
as
a
Guard
to
his
person
,
against
those
formidable
tumults
.
They
were
received
by
the
King
with
all
respect
and
acknowledgements
of
this
seasonable
tender
;
which
manifested
that
Law
,
Reason
,
and
Civility
were
disengaged
from
the
Rebellion
:
but
the
Kings
sudden
remove
dispensed
with
their
Duty
.
The
King
receives
them
with
respect
.
The
Tumultuous
rabble
countenanced
by
some
Grandees
of
the
faction
.
Whereat
the
King
is
much
troubled
.
The
King
,
sensible
from
what
quiver
this
Arrow
came
,
and
not
longer
able
to
endure
these
indignities
,
which
he
had
so
often
moved
the
two
Houses
,
though
in
vain
,
to
prevent
or
punish
,
resolved
to
seize
on
those
Grandees
who
principally
abetted
those
tumults
,
and
also
had
had
a
deep
hand
in
the
Scotch
troubles
,
(
having
intercepted
Letters
of
correspondence
between
them
and
the
Covenanters
)
the
untoward
Issue
and
Event
whereof
(
as
whereby
his
English
Subjects
had
presumed
to
obtain
by
tumults
the
same
demands
)
lay
yet
heavy
on
his
heart
,
and
boded
the
fame
conclusions
.
Taking
therefore
with
him
a
Guard
of
his
own
domestick
Servants
,
and
some
Gentlemen

in
the
Court

in

of
the
Christmas-nights

Members

he
came
to
the
door
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
entred
,
and
demanded
five
members
thereof
,
(
as
also
one
of
the
House
of
Peers
,
the
Lord
Kimbolton
)
viz.
Mr.
Pyns
,
Mr.
Hambden
,
Mr.
Holles
,
Mr.
Stro●d
,
and
Sir
Arthur
Haslerig
;
but
they
having
notice
of
the
Kings
coming
to
this
purpose
,
by
one
Langrish
a
Servant
of
the
Queens
,
had
time
,
and
but
just
enough
,
to
withdraw
themselves
into
Westminster-Hall
,
where
they
lay
hid
in
the
Kings-bench-Court
,
until
the
business
of
that
night
was
over
,
and
then
betook
themselves
into
London
to
the
Guild-Hall
,
whereto
the
House
not
long
after
adjourned
it self
in
a
grand
Committee
,
for
their
safeguard
and
security
.
The
House
vote
it
a
breach
of
priviledge
.
This
attempt
of
the
King
,
the
House
presently
voted
a
breach
of
priviledge
;
and
ran
so
high
as
to
complain
of
evil
Councellours
about
the
King
,
demanding
the
persons
of
those
who
gave
that
advice
to
the
King
:
Nay
,
so
highly
did
they
insist
upon
and
urge
this
violation
of
their
freedom
,
that
all
the
King
could
do
,
gave
them
no
satisfaction
,
though
he
endeavoured
to
excuse
it
;
so
that
it
continued
their
plea
throughout
the
War
:
But
how
it
was
retaliated
upon
them
both
by
themselves
and
Oliver
,
in
the
several
Exclusions
and
Forces
afterwards
put
upon
that
House
,
needs
no
particular
indigitation
.
They
accuse
several
Bishops
as
guilty
of
high
Treason
.
They
are
Committed
.
Having
therefore
got
this
claw
against
the
King
,
they
resolve
to
revenge
themselves
on
the
Bishops
;
some
of
whom
they
suspected
to
be
the
chief
instruments
in
that
business
:
Particularly
,
to
gratifie
the
City
,
(
whom
they
had
wholly
devoted
at
their
service
)
who
might
see
the
Parliaments
readiness
to
comply
with
their
clamours
against
that
Venerable
Order
,
Twelve
of
these
the
Commons
accused
to
the
Lords
as
guilty
of
High
Treason
,
whereof
ten
were
committed
to
the
Tower
,
The
Irish
are
proclaimed
Rebels
.
and
two
to
the
Black
Rod.
At
the
same
time
also
the
Irish
were
proclaimed
Rebels
;
thirty
Proclamations
hereof
being
onely
Printed
,
for
some
reasons
of
State
the
King
reserved
to
himself
then
,
though
afterwards
when
the
Parliament
among
other
things
taxed
him
with
this
,
he
gave
them
a
full
and
satisfactory
answer
,
as
not
willing
to
make
the
Irish
desperate
,
and
utterly
undo
his
Protestant
Subjects
,
who
were
(
as
then
)
far
too
weak
to
withstand
so
potent
a
Rebellion
,
which
the
King
was
willing
so
far
to
comply
with
the
Parliament
as
to
declare
it
so
.
For
the
number
of
them
,
he
said
it
was
the
request
of
the
said
Lords
Justices
of
Ireland
there
should
be
but
twenty
,
as
many
of
themselves
well
knew
.
The
King
declares
his
charge
against
the
five
members
.
Like
wise
to
satisfie
the
Parliament
about
that
business
of
the
five
members
,
he
now
declared
his
charge
against
them
,
which
consisted
of
several
things
relating
to
intelligence
held
with
the
Scots
,
while
declared
Traytors
.
That
they
trayterously
endeavoured
by
many
foul
Aspersions
upon
his
Majesty
and
Government
,
to
alienate
the
affections
of
the
people
,
and
to
make
his
Majesty
odious
to
them
.
That
they
trayterously
endeavoured
to
subvert
the
fundamental
Laws
and
Government
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
to
deprive
the
King
of
his
Regal
,
and
to
place
on
Subjects
an
arbitrary
and
illegal
power
.
That
they
endeavoured
to
draw
his
Majesties
late
Army
(
in
the
North
)
to
disobedience
to
his
Majesties
command
.
That
they
invited
the
Scots
to
invade
England
.
That
they
trayterously
endeavoured
the
subversion
of
the
rights
and
very
being
of
Parliament
.
That
for
the
compleating
of
their
trayterous
designes
,
they
have
endeavoured
as
far
as
in
them
lay
,
by
force
and
terrour
to
compel
the
Parliament
to
joyn
with
them
in
their
trayterous
designes
,
and
to
that
end
countenanced
and
raised
the
tumults
against
the
King
and
Parliament
.
That
they
had
trayterously
conspired
to
levy
,
and
had
actually
levyed
war
against
the
King
.
The
Parliament
imprisons
Sir
Edw.
Herbert
.
This
was
(
as
I
said
before
)
declared
by
the
King
;
but
in
hopes
and
order
to
accommodation
(
this
course
being
thought
a
good
expedient
thereto
)
was
laid
aside
,
and
not
prosecuted
:
But
the
Parliament
left
it
not
so
,
imprisoning
for
a
while
the
Kings
Atturney
,
Sir
Edward
Herbert
,
demanding
those
evil
Councellours
that
gave
this
advice
against
the
five
Members
to
punishment
.
The
Tumults
increase
,
and
the
King
retires
to
Hampton-Court
.
Herewith
the
Tumults
so
increased
about
White-Hall
and
Westminster
,
that
the
King
,
Queen
,
Prince
,
and
Duke
of
York
,
were
forced
for
security
of
their
persons
,
to
retire
to
Hampton-Court
;
being
necessitated
to
take
sufficient
forces
of
his
Courtiers
for
his
guard
.
About
this
time
there
was
a
false
rumour
raised
,
A
rumour
concerning
the
Lord
Digby
.
Col.
Lunsford
committed
.
The
Scots
interpose
themselves
,
the
Parliament
demands
the
Tower
and
the
Militia
.
by
the
Lord
Digbies
passing
through
Kingston
neer
London
,
of
a
plot
to
raise
Horse
against
the
Parliament
;
whereupon
Col.
Lunsford
then
with
him
,
was
committed
to
Prison
,
and
this
story
improved
into
a
calumny
against
the
King
.
The
Scots
now
interposed
themselves
betwixt
the
King
and
Parliament
,
though
siding
clearly
with
the
Parliament
,
having
by
Treaty
agreed
with
them
to
send
over
2500
men
into
the
North
of
Ireland
,
upon
the
English
pay
.
Through
their
thus
taking
of
their
parts
,
the
Parliament
flew
high
now
in
their
demands
,
requiring
the
disposal
of
the
Command
of
the
Tower
,
and
the
management
of
the
Militia
;
which
being
refused
,
they
desisted
not
,
but
on
the
26
of
Ianuary
Petitioned
the
King
for
them
both
;
to
which
the
King
by
several
reasons
answered
in
the
nagative
.
Now
again
they
insisted
upon
it
,
as
also
upon
the
business
of
the
five
Members
,
still
to
exasperate
the
people
(
who
cryed
out
against
Popish
Lords
and
Bishops
sitting
in
Parliament
)
to
which
the
King
answered
as
before
,
and
declared
his
readiness
to
pass
an
Act
of
general
Pardon
,
to
take
away
all
suspition
from
the
five
Members
.
Several
Petitions
were
presented
to
the
Parliament
from
the
Countries
about
the
foresaid
matters
,
Buckinghamshire
-
men
petition
in
behalf
of
Mr.
Hambden
.
and
one
from
the
Buckinghamshire-men
to
the
King
himself
,
in
vindication
of
their
Countryman
Mr.
Hambden
.
To
this
Petition
the
King
demur'd
,
intent
onely
on
the
Irish
business
,
whose
miseries
pierced
him
to
the
quick
,
being
neither
able
effectually
to
relieve
them
,
the
Rebels
being
Masters
of
the
chiefest
places
there
;
nor
to
put
any
thing
here
in
a
way
o●
forwardness
thereto
,
The
King
leaves
Hampton-Court
,
the
Queen
and
Princess
of
Aurange
take
ship
for
Holland
.
The
Parliament
vote
the
Queen
a
Traytor
.
through
the
cross
proceedings
and
difficulties
of
his
affairs
here
.
The
King
was
departed
from
Hampton-Court
,
in
company
with
the
Queen
and
his
Daughter
the
Princess
of
Aurange
to
Dover
,
to
see
them
shipped
for
Holland
.
Whither
the
Queen
conveyed
away
most
of
the
Crown-Jewels
,
which
she
pledged
for
money
and
Arms
for
the
King
her
Husband
,
and
for
which
she
was
afterwards
voted
a
Traytor
,
the
Parliament
being
doing
it
at
her
departure
.
Now
he
returned
straight
to
Greenwich
from
thence
,
having
the
Prince
in
his
company
,
to
Theobalds
.
Still
the
difference
widened
more
and
more
according
as
he
removed
from
London
,
to
which
he
was
importunately
desired
to
return
by
both
Houses
,
by
the
Members
thereof
who
continued
sitting
;
though
the
Grandees
of
the
Faction
were
well
contented
with
what
distance
he
kept
from
them
,
as
rendring
their
pretended
Jealousies
and
Fears
more
and
more
credible
to
the
deluded
people
.
From
Theobalds
,
the
misunderstanding
still
increasing
betwixt
the
King
and
two
Houses
,
he
removed
North-ward
,
first
to
Royston
,
thence
to
Newmarket
,
and
in
conclusion
to
York
;
having
received
and
answered
several
Messages
from
the
Parliament
by
the
way
.
The
principal
difference
between
the
King
and
them
was
the
Militia
;
The
Militia
,
the
principal
difference
between
King
and
Parliament
.
this
was
disputed
betwixt
them
;
the
King
claiming
it
as
an
unseparable
right
of
the
Crown
,
and
the
Houses
urging
the
management
of
it
for
present
satisfaction
and
safety
,
and
had
thereupon
nominated
Officers
;
which
designation
the
King
disallowed
.
And
now
the
rupture
was
visible
.
I
have
thought
fit
therefore
to
insert
both
the
Commission
of
Array
,
and
the
Ordinance
of
the
Militia
,
they
seeming
to
be
as
the
Challenge
to
the
War
ensuing
,
though
they
both
are
here
inserted
out
of
order
of
time
.

,
in
the
18
Year
of
our
Raign

Per
Ipsum
Regem
.
The
Reader
must
know
,
that
this
Ordinance
of
the
Militia
was
framed
in
February
,
and
declared
to
be
a
Law
,
whether
the
King
should
give
his
Royal
assent
or
no
,
in
March
ensuing
;
and
several
things
done
at
that
time
in
the
several
Counties
,
in
pursuance
of
it
:
So
that
it
long
precedes
the
Kings
Commission
of
Array
,
though
for
dignity
sake
I
have
here
Postposed
it
.
The
Ordinance
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
for
Ordering
the
Militia
of
the
Kingdom
of
England
,
and
Dominion
of
Wales
.
WHereas
there
hath
been
of
late
a
most
dangerous
and
desperate
design
upon
the
House
of
Commons
,
An
Ordinance
of
Parliament
for
ordering
the
Militia
.
which
we
have
just
cause
to
believe
to
be
an
effect
of
the
bloodie
Councels
of
Papists
,
and
other
ill-affected
persons
,
who
have
already
raised
a
rebellion
in
the
Kingdom
of
Ireland
;
And
by
reason
of
many
discoveries
,
we
cannot
but
fear
they
will
proceed
not
onely
to
stir
up
the
like
rebellions
and
insurrections
in
this
Kingdom
of
England
,
but
also
to
back
them
with
forces
from
abroad
:
It
is
ordained
by
the
Lords
and
Commons
,
now
in
Parliament
assembled
,
that
shall
have
power
to
assemble
and
call
together
all
and
singular
his
Majesties
Subjects
within
the
County
of
as
well
within
Liberties
as
without
,
that
are
meet
and
fit
fothe
Wars
,
and
them
to
train
,
exercise
and
put
in
readiness
,
and
them
after
their
abilities
and
faculties
well
and
sufficientlie
,
from
time
to
time
,
to
cause
to
be
arrayed
and
weaponed
,
and
to
take
the
Muster
of
them
in
places
most
fit
for
that
purpose
.
And
shall
have
power
within
the
said
Countie
to
nominate
and
appoint
such
persons
of
quality
as
to
him
shall
seem
meet
to
be
his
Deputie-Lieutenants
,
to
be
approved
of
by
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
And
that
any
one
or
more
of
the
said
Deputies
so
assigned
and
approved
of
,
shall
in
the
absence
or
by
command
of
the
same

John

Clerk
Parl.
How
contrary
to
any
Law
,
Practice
or
Precedent
of
any
Parliament
,
this
Ordinance
was
,
I
refer
the
Reader
to
examine
in
his
Majesties
Answer
to
it
.
The
Parliament
send
several
Papers
to
the
King
.
Many
Messages
and
Answers
,
and
Papers
past
betwixt
the
King
and
the
Parliament
,
which
though
out
of
their
order
,
we
shall
present
at
one
view
intire
in
this
Place
;
this
History
not
allowing
every
one
a
particular
room
.
Those
of
the
Kings
were
less
strained
,
yet
more
elegant
then
the
Parliament's
:
the
great
ingredients
and
most
substantial
part
of
their
Addresses
were
Jealousies
and
Fears
;
with
which
the
King
was
constantly
baited
,
for
want
of
more
solid
Arguments
,
and
which
no
reason
could
rectifie
or
dispel
,
being
irrefutable
,
because
inexistible
;
it
being
like
fighting
with
a
shadow
,
which
canot
be
driven
away
.
They
protested
all
along
,
that
if
his
Majesty
should
persist
in
the
denyal
of
the
Militia
,
the
Dangers
were
such
as
would
indure
no
longer
delay
,
but
that
they
should
be
forced
to
dispose
of
it
by
Authority
of
Parliament
,
and
must
resolve
so
to
do
,
as
it
was
by
them
propounded
:
Desiring
,
that
for
the
safety
of
his
person
and
people
,
in
much
jealousie
and
Fear
,
he
will
be
pleased
to
reside
in
or
neer
London
,
and
to
continue
the
Prince
at
St.
Iames's
,
or
any
other
Houses
neer
London
,
to
prevent
the
Jealousies
and
Fears
of
the
people
.
Affirming
,
That
by
the
Laws
of
the
Realm
the
power
of
the
Militia
,
of
raising
,
ordering
,
and
disposing
thereof
in
any
place
,
cannot
be
granted
to
any
Corporation
by
Charter
,
or
otherwise
,
without
consent
of
Parliament
;
and
that
those
par●s
of
the
Kingdom
that
have
put
themselves
in
a
posture
of
defence
,
have
done
it
by
direction
and
Declaration
of
Parliament
.
The
King
much
troubled
with
those
unreasonable
Papers
,
replyed
,
that
he
was
so
much
amazed
at
this
Message
,
The
King
is
much
troubled
thereat
,
and
answers
.
that
he
knew
not
what
to
answer
.
You
speak
of
jealousies
and
fears
,
said
he
;
lay
your
hands
to
your
hearts
,
and
ask
your selves
whether
I
may
not
in
earnest
be
disturbed
with
jealousies
and
fears
;
and
if
so
,
I
assure
you
this
Message
hath
nothing
lessned
them
.
For
the
Militia
,
I
thought
as
much
before
.
My
last
answer
being
agreeable
to
what
in
Iustice
or
reason
you
can
ask
,
or
I
in
honour
grant
,
I
shall
not
alter
in
any
point
.
I
wish
my
residence
near
you
might
be
safe
and
honourable
,
that
I
had
no
cause
to
absent
my self
from
Whitehal
;
Ask
your selves
,
whether
I
have
not
?
I
shall
take
that
care
of
my
Son
,
which
shall
justifie
me
to
God
as
a
father
,
and
to
my
Dominions
as
a
King
.
I
assure
you
upon
mine
honour
,
I
have
no
thoughts
but
of
peace
and
Iustice
to
my
people
,
which
I
shall
by
all
means
possible
seek
to
preserve
,
relying
upon
the
goodness
of
God
for
the
preservation
of
my self
and
my
rights
.
This
quickned
in
the
Parliament
a
resolution
that
the
Kingdom
be
put
presently
into
a
posture
of
defence
,
The
Parliament
declare
their
resolution
of
putting
the
Kingdom
into
a
posture
of
defence
.
The
Earl
of
Warwick
made
Admiral
of
England
.
The
King
answers
the
Parliaments
Declation
with
another
.
and
a
publique
Declaration
thereupon
to
be
made
.
They
talkt
of
advertisements
and
extraordinary
preparations
of
forraign
Princes
by
land
and
Sea
.
In
order
to
this
,
the
Beacons
were
made
up
,
new
Sea-marks
set
up
,
much
riding
,
posting
with
packquets
,
whispering
and
tales
telling
.
The
Earl
of
Northumberland
,
Admiral
of
England
,
is
commanded
with
all
speed
to
rigg
the
Kings
ships
,
and
equip
them
forth-with
for
the
Sea
:
And
because
of
his
indisposition
,
that
charge
is
conferred
on
the
Earl
of
Warwick
,
against
whom
the
King
took
great
exception
;
one
very
affectionate
to
the
Cause
which
then
first
began
to
be
in
every
mans
mouth
.
The
Declaration
aforesaid
was
carried
to
Royston
,
whither
the
King
was
removed
from
Theobalds
,
by
the
Earls
of
Pembrook
and
Holland
,
who
delivered
him
the
substance
of
it
:
to
which
he
returned
in
a
most
polite
Declaration
also
,
and
verbally
told
the
Lords
,
that
for
the
Militia
,
he
would
not
trust
his
wife
and
children
with
it
for
an
hour
;
that
it
was
never
asked
of
any
King
:
That
to
their
Fears
and
jealousies
he
would
take
time
to
satisfie
all
the
world
,
hoping
that
God
would
in
his
good
time
discover
the
bottoms
and
secrets
of
all
plots
and
treasons
,
and
set
him
upright
with
his
people
.
The
substance
of
his
Declaration
was
this
.
That
he
had
little
encouragement
to
Replyes
of
this
nature
,
when
he
is
told
of
how
little
value
his
words
are
with
them
,
though
accompanied
with
Love
and
Iustice
:
That
his
honour
ought
not
to
be
wounded
under
the
common
stile
and
imputation
of
evil
Councellours
:
That
he
had
formerly
declared
his
faithful
affection
to
the
Protestant
Profession
,
his
whole
life
answerable
in
practice
;
which
should
rather
be
acknowledged
by
them
,
than
any
designe
of
his
framed
and
declared
to
alter
it
in
this
Kingdom
;
calling
God
to
be
witness
,
and
wishing
that
the
judgement
of
Heaven
may
be
manifested
on
those
that
have
or
had
any
such
designe
.
Concerning
his
sense
of
his
good
Subjects
in
Ireland
,
what
had
he
not
done
in
his
Messages
to
both
Houses
,
offering
his
own
person
ready
to
venture
for
their
preservation
and
redemption
,
being
to
give
God
an
account
of
his
interest
in
them
?
Denyes
any
designe
of
forcing
the
Parliament
by
his
Army
;
and
other
particulars
of
the
Petition
,
of
passes
granted
Col.
Leg
,
my
Lord
Jermins
Pass
,
as
likewise
the
Lord
Digbies
.
And
as
for
advertisements
from
Rome
,
Venice
,
Paris
,
the
Popes
Nuncio
,
the
Kings
of
France
and
Spain
,
He
is
confident
●o
sober
man
in
the
Kingdom
will
believe
that
he
is
so
desperate
or
senceless
to
entertain
such
designes
,
to
bring
the
Kingdom
to
destruction
,
and
bury
his
name
and
posterity
in
perpetual
infamy
.
He
adds
in
conclusion
,
could
there
yet
want
evidence
on
his
part
to
joyn
with
his
Parliament
?
Look
back
upon
their
own
Remonstrance
in
November
last
of
the
State
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
valued
his
Acts
of
Grace
and
Iustice
at
so
high
a
rate
,
that
it
declared
the
Kingdom
a
gainer
,
though
it
should
charge
it self
by
Subsidies
and
Pole-money
six
millions
of
pounds
,
besides
the
Contracting
the
Sents
demands
of
two
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
pounds
.
Nay
more
,
he
hath
passed
those
Bills
for
the
triennial
Parliament
,
for
relinquishing
his
Title
to
impose
upon
Merchants
goods
,
and
his
power
of
pressing
of
Souldiers
;
for
suppressing
the
Court
of
Star
,
Chamber
,
High-Commission
,
regulating
the
Council-Table
.
He
offers
a
free
Pardon
to
his
people
,
and
propounds
a
r●●●●ciliation
.
Are
these
but
words
?
The
Bills
for
the
Forrests
,
the
Stannery
Courts
,
the
Clerk
of
the
Markets
,
the
taking
away
the
Vote
of
the
Bishops
,
nothing
but
words
?
what
greater
earnest
can
be
given
,
than
the
Bill
for
the
continuance
of
the
Parliament
?
The
length
of
which
he
wishes
may
never
alter
the
nature
of
Parliaments
.
And
for
a
perfect
reconciliation
with
his
people
,
he
offers
a
free
pardon
.
Nor
doth
he
repent
of
his
favours
done
them
,
but
will
meet
them
in
an
honourable
way
,
to
add
more
,
with
the
greatest
readiness
and
kindness
,
for
the
peace
,
Honour
and
Prosperity
of
the
Nation
.
This
seemed
satisfactory
to
the
unprejudiced
and
sober
;
but
prevailed
not
at
all
with
the
factious
and
giddy
multitude
,
and
less
with
their
Chiefs
and
Abetters
,
who
now
emit
the
Ordinance
for
the
defence
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
is
resolved
to
be
no
whit
prejudicial
to
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
and
Supremacy
;
and
next
,
that
the
Kings
Commissioners
of
Lieutenancy
over
the
respective
Counties
are
illegal
and
void
:
That
their
Ordinance
for
the
Militia
is
to
be
obeyed
as
the
fundamental
law
of
this
Kingdom
▪
The
faction
set
forth
another
Declaration
concerning
the
Militia
.
and
prepare
another
Declaration
to
that
purpose
.
As
the
King
removed
North-ward
,
his
mind
went
South-ward
,
though
the
Showers
gathered
there
,
which
soon
after
came
down
in
a
storm
.
But
it
is
a
question
whether
if
the
King
had
returned
,
his
influence
had
not
dispelled
and
dissipated
them
▪
which
thickned
presently
together
,
and
resisted
that
light
which
Majesty
dispenced
in
many
after-gratious
offers
and
condescentions
,
till
the
setting
of
it
,
after
a
big
and
fatal
revolution
.
The
King
sends
a
Message
to
the
Parliament
concerning
Ireland
.
Therefore
he
sends
another
Message
to
them
from
thence
,
that
he
means
to
take
up
his
residence
at
York
;
conjures
them
to
dispatch
the
business
of
Ireland
;
and
if
calamities
increase
upon
his
Protestant
Subjects
there
,
he
shall
wash
his
hands
before
all
the
World
from
any
imputation
upon
him
.
He
saith
,
that
as
he
hath
been
forward
to
retract
any
thing
intrenching
upon
them
,
so
he
expects
an
equal
tenderness
in
them
towards
him
,
in
any
unquestionable
and
fundamental
priviledge
.
That
his
Subjects
be
not
obliged
to
obey
any
Act
,
Order
or
Injunction
,
to
which
his
Majesty
hath
not
given
his
consent
.
And
therefore
requires
that
they
presume
not
,
upon
pretence
of
any
Order
or
Ordinance
(
to
which
his
Majesty
is
not
a
party
)
of
the
Militia
,
or
any
other
thing
,
to
do
or
execute
against
the
laws
:
he
being
to
keep
the
laws
himself
,
and
his
Subjects
to
obey
them
.
They
plead
the
priviledge
of
Parliament
.
To
this
all
the
reply
they
made
was
,
That
to
have
their
Vote
questioned
or
contradicted
,
is
a
high
breath
of
priviledge
of
Parliament
:
and
a
Committee
was
by
them
appointed
to
examine
where
and
by
whom
this
Message
was
counselled
:
and
as
the
total
of
all
this
absurdity
,
they
justifie
their
last
Declaration
in
every
particular
.
The
King
knowing
what
the
Parliament
drove
at
chiefly
,
to
render
him
suspect
of
favouring
Papists
,
The
King
proclaims
against
Papists
.
being
at
Stamford
,
published
a
Proclamation
for
putting
the
Laws
in
due
execution
against
Papists
:
this
somewhat
abated
the
charge
which
his
enemies
laboured
to
fix
on
him
for
this
particular
,
though
they
wrested
this
also
,
giving
out
that
it
was
a
time-serving
policy
,
and
that
nothing
less
was
intended
.
The
Yorkshire
Gentry
desire
a
right
understanding
between
King
and
Parliament
.
What
the
two
Houses
did
ambiguously
supplicate
,
the
York-shire
Gentry
did
cordially
beg
of
the
King
,
desiring
by
such
expedients
as
his
Majesties
own
judgment
should
dictate
,
a
right
understanding
betwixt
him
and
his
Parliament
,
to
whom
they
would
likewise
address
themselves
.
The
King
returned
a
gratious
answer
,
with
thanks
;
tells
them
that
he
is
not
mistaken
in
the
confidence
of
their
affections
,
The
King
returns
a
gratious
answer
.
nor
will
he
ever
deceive
their
expectations
from
him
:
But
as
to
the
prayer
of
the
Petition
,
the
alone
way
of
a
good
understanding
,
was
for
the
Parliament
to
consider
of
his
Message
of
the
20th
of
Ianuary
,
that
the
Militia
be
setled
by
Act
of
Parliament
,
explained
in
his
Answer
to
their
Petition
for
it
;
and
wishes
them
in
the
sence
of
those
,
to
apply
themselves
to
the
Parliament
for
the
good
of
All.
He
resolving
to
go
for
Ireland
,
sends
a
Message
to
the
Parliament
.
The
King
was
now
resolved
,
since
he
saw
how
slowly
the
Irish
business
proceeded
,
for
the
dispatch
of
that
Rebellion
to
pass
over
thither
;
and
to
that
purpose
sent
a
Message
to
the
Parliament
from
York
:
From
which
expedition
they
disswade
the
King
,
and
in
lieu
of
using
the
Magazine
of
Hull
for
that
service
,
desire
it
may
be
sent
to
the
Tower
of
London
,
to
supply
that
,
almost
exhausted
;
guessing
indeed
that
the
King
intended
to
possess
himself
of
it
:
Sir
John
Hotham
admitted
into
Hull
.
but
they
prevented
him
,
by
Sir
Iohn
Hothams
admittance
into
the
Town
,
standing
affected
to
their
Cause
,
before
the
coming
of
my
Lord
Newcastle
to
the
same
purpose
.
Thereupon
they
again
petition
the
King
in
the
matter
of
the
Militia
,
The
Parliament
Petition
the
King
for
the
Militia
:
they
insist
upon
the
dangers
of
Popery
.
as
to
his
Forts
and
Magazins
,
inserting
the
old
standing
matter
of
Popery
,
in
relation
to
some
Jesuits
whom
the
King
had
reprieved
.
To
this
Petition
the
Kings
Answer
was
,
that
he
wondred
why
a
Garison
was
put
into
Hull
without
his
consent
,
and
Souldiers
billeted
without
Law
,
contrary
to
the
Petition
of
right
,
and
that
they
could
mention
to
him
the
transferring
of
his
Magazine
without
reason
or
judgement
:
Hull
is
Garrison'd
,
and
the
King
is
troubled
that
they
should
Petition
him
,
and
at
the
instant
carve
at
their
one
pleasures
.
he
would
know
why
he
might
not
be
thought
sufficient
to
impower
and
intrust
any
person
of
unquestionable
honour
and
worth
with
the
custody
of
a
Fort
,
Town
,
or
Magazine
of
his
own
;
when
they
were
so
confident
as
to
commit
it
without
his
knowledge
or
consent
to
Sir
Iohn
Hotham
,
though
he
doubts
not
but
it
will
be
rendred
to
him
when
he
shall
demand
it
.
Hopes
that
they
will
not
do
in
this
case
,
as
they
have
done
in
the
Militia
;
petition
him
,
and
make
themselves
the
Carvers
:
and
tells
them
,
that
if
they
attempt
any
thing
herein
without
his
consent
,
he
will
hold
it
as
an
act
of
violence
against
him
,
and
so
declare
it
to
all
the
world
.
For
the
Priests
,
He
excuseth
his
repriving
of
some
I●suites
.
he
refers
them
to
the
Law
and
their
Sentence
,
the
time
of
his
Reprieve
granted
them
being
expired
.
But
in
that
answer
to
his
expedition
into
Ireland
,
they
court
him
there
with
a
Compliment
of
their
fear
of
the
danger
of
his
person
,
The
Parliament
refuse
to
be
governed
by
Commissioners
in
his
Majesties
absence
.
besides
the
interruption
of
the
proceedings
of
Parliament
.
Though
to
the
first
,
they
were
more
afraid
of
that
force
he
should
raise
to
accompany
and
attend
his
person
;
and
as
to
the
second
,
the
distance
lay
onely
in
their
averseness
to
an
Accommodation
:
until
they
were
nearer
in
duty
and
affection
,
the
proximity
of
his
person
availed
not
:
but
they
would
in
no
wise
endure
to
hear
of
being
governed
by
Commissioners
in
his
Majesties
absence
,
because
it
was
presumed
there
were
more
then
enough
of
themselves
already
,
that
looked
like
such
things
in
his
presence
,
if
not
more
Soveraign
and
imperious
than
such
could
be
.
To
this
Reply
the
King
rejoyns
,
that
he
looks
upon
them
as
his
great
Council
with
great
respect
,
but
also
upon
himself
as
not
d●prived
of
his
understanding
,
or
devested
of
any
right
he
had
before
the
Parliament
assembled
:
he
called
them
by
his
Writ
and
authority
,
to
give
him
counsel
;
but
did
not
resign
his
interest
and
freedom
,
nor
will
subject
himself
to
their
determinations
;
nor
hath
he
dissented
at
any
time
without
his
reasons
given
with
candour
and
conscience
;
and
though
a
Major
part
may
bind
them
in
their
consultations
and
opinions
,
yet
he
holds
himself
free
to
dissent
from
them
.
Anno
Dom.
1642.
NOw
this
great
controversie
of
the
Militia
came
to
be
decided
;
and
what
had
been
bandyed
with
so
many
words
,
to
be
summed
up
and
stated
in
the
case
of
Hull
,
and
the
Magazine
there
,
which
the
King
as
before
had
refused
to
be
translated
any
otherwhere
than
for
his
own
accommodation
in
the
service
of
Ireland
:
The
King
resolves
to
possess
himself
of
Hull
.
besides
,
the
County
of
York
added
their
instances
to
the
Kings
resolution
,
requesting
him
,
as
well
for
his
own
as
the
publike
safety
,
it
might
be
continued
where
it
was
.
Therefore
to
end
the
dispute
,
and
ascertain
the
matter
without
any
further
contest
,
the
King
resolved
to
go
and
possess
himself
thereof
,
taking
with
him
a
Guard
onely
for
his
person
,
which
consisted
of
his
menial
servants
,
and
the
Gentry
adjacent
thereabout
.
On
the
23
of
April
his
Majesty
came
before
the
Town
,
But
is
denyed
entrance
by
Sir
John
Hotham
,
who
stood
on
the
Walls
,
and
●eard
himself
proclaimed
a
Traytor
.
when
,
contrary
to
all
expectation
,
especially
of
the
King
,
the
enterance
was
denyed
him
,
the
gates
being
shut
against
him
,
as
Sir
Iohn
Hotham
then
upon
the
Walls
of
the
said
Town
peremptorily
told
him
,
by
Authority
of
Parliament
,
by
whose
trust
he
kept
it
;
nor
by
any
means
,
after
a
long
Parley
and
perswasion
,
would
admit
the
King
into
the
Town
,
unless
under
certain
disloyal
and
undutiful
limitations
,
which
the
King
so
abhor'd
,
that
moved
with
just
indignation
,
he
caused
Hotham
instantly
and
before
his
face
to
be
proclaimed
Traytor
;
a
name
that
stuck
to
him
or
all
sides
,
and
was
his
Sentence
long
before
his
Execution
;
and
which
,
(
in
such
very
heynous
matters
not
usual
)
reached
the
life
of
his
eldest
Son
also
.
But
because
his
late
Majesties
own
Sacred
Pen
hath
so
compassionately
delivered
his
story
,
it
will
be
rudeness
to
that
blessed
Prince
,
and
barbarity
to
Sir
Iohn
Hotham
,
to
rake
further
in
his
ashes
than
what
we
shall
have
occasion
for
in
the
depositing
them
after
Execution
.
The
Duke
of
York
and
Prince
●lector
bring
in
the
Town
,
are
suffered
to
depart
.
The
Duke
of
York
and
the
Prince
Elector
Palatine
were
gone
into
the
Town
the
day
before
,
and
were
now
after
some
deliberation
suffered
to
go
out
again
;
who
came
to
the
King
,
then
in
a
very
great
discontent
retreated
to
Beverly
,
whence
he
sent
Letters
to
the
Mayor
of
Hull
,
which
signified
to
him
his
Majesties
displeasure
and
resentment
of
the
affront
done
him
;
thereby
also
warning
him
and
the
Garrison
(
which
consisted
of
a
thousand
men
)
not
to
partake
with
Hotham
,
The
King
retreat●d
to
Beverly
,
writes
to
the
Mayor
and
Garrison
of
Hull
.
but
to
lay
down
their
arms
and
receive
the
King
,
who
would
rather
enlarge
than
lessen
and
diminish
their
Charter
and
Priviledges
.
After
this
Message
,
he
likewise
dispatched
another
to
the
Parliament
,
requiring
the
Town
and
Magazine
to
be
delivered
to
him
,
and
that
his
honour
be
repaired
by
some
signal
and
remarkable
Justice
upon
Hotham
;
And
to
the
Parliament
for
I●●tice
against
Hotham
.
that
injury
so
closely
●ying
at
his
breast
,
that
till
satisfaction
be
given
him
therein
,
he
can
intend
no
other
business
whatsoever
,
as
portending
those
undutiful
actions
which
afterwards
succeeded
:
This
is
,
saith
he
,
to
make
me
worse
in
condition
than
the
meanest
Subject
,
since
I
cannot
enjoy
my
own
;
't
is
time
therefore
to
examine
how
he
lost
them
,
and
to
try
all
possible
ways
by
the
help
of
God
,
the
Laws
,
and
his
good
Subjects
,
to
recover
them
,
and
vindicate
himself
;
concluding
,
that
if
he
fail
in
the
reducing
of
the
place
,
he
is
the
first
Prince
in
Christendom
that
hath
done
so
;
and
prays
God
to
bless
him
in
these
resolutions
.
T●e
Parliament
order
the
Lord
Li●●tenant
of
Lincoln
to
●uppress
all
Forc●s
rai●ed
against
Hull
.
This
was
answered
no
otherways
,
but
by
a
Command
to
their
Lord
Lieutenant
of
the
County
of
Lincoln
to
suppress
all
Forces
that
should
be
gathered
and
raised
against
the
said
Town
of
Hull
,
and
presently
expedite
the
Ordinances
of
the
Militia
framed
by
themselves
,
having
rejected
that
of
the
Kings
own
appointment
,
and
drawn
by
his
Council
,
though
not
a
word
in
answer
against
it
to
satisfie
him
;
excluding
all
persons
named
by
the
King
in
his
draught
,
and
committed
the
trust
and
power
thereof
for
two
years
,
Sir
Richard
Gurney
Lo●d
Mayor
〈◊〉
London
,
sent
to
the
Tower
.
to
such
in
whom
they
confided
.
Soon
after
they
seized
upon
Sir
Richard
Gurney
Lord
Mayor
of
London
▪
whom
for
an
example
to
other
Loyal
Magistrates
they
sent
to
the
Tower
of
London
;
not
long
after
which
usage
he
deceased
.
The
Parliament
Authorize
Sir
John
Hotham
to
raise
the
Trained
Bands
.
Sir
Iohn
Hotham
is
also
impowered
by
the
Parliament
to
Summon
the
Trayned
Bands
of
the
County
to
his
assistance
;
which
through
the
factiousness
of
others
,
and
his
own
menaces
,
he
compass●d
;
and
having
them
within
his
reach
,
to
prevent
the
King
of
any
supply
of
Arms
thereabout
,
he
disarms
the
Country-men
,
and
dismisseth
them
.
The
King
s●mmons
the
G●ntry
of
York
,
for
the
security
of
his
Person
.
Her●upon
the
King
Summoned
the
Gentry
and
Free-holders
of
the
County
of
York
,
to
whom
he
complains
of
all
those
lawless
proceedings
of
the
Parliament
and
Hotham
,
to
the
danger
of
his
person
,
which
he
thinks
fit
to
secure
by
a
guard
from
among
them
;
reiterates
his
Protestation
to
the
Lords
then
that
w●re
with
him
,
some
of
whom
were
sent
from
the
Parliament
,
and
continued
there
,
that
he
intended
not
to
raise
a
War
,
or
embroyl
the
Kingdom
;
but
since
he
had
so
lately
received
such
an
indignity
so
neer
his
residence
,
it
could
not
be
interpreted
other
than
an
Act
of
Prudence
,
to
provide
this
way
for
his
safety
;
that
being
the
onely
end
in
this
designe
:
Which
publike
Declaration
was
attested
by
all
the
Lords
to
be
his
Majesties
intention
.
The
Parliament
Conclude
the
K.
intendeth
War
.
Now
had
the
Parliament
the
occasion
they
waited
for
;
no
Salvo's
or
Protestations
on
the
Kings
part
would
serve
turn
,
but
it
was
taken
for
granted
●hat
the
King
intended
War
,
and
therefore
they
proceeded
presently
to
put
the
peo-into
a
posture
of
War
,
by
vertue
of
their
late
Ordinance
of
the
Militia
,
to
rescue
the
King
from
his
evil
Counsel
,
They
take
up
Arms
●nder
pre●ence
of
r●scuing
the
King
from
his
evil
Cou●sel
,
and
prohibit
all
resort
to
the
King
.
who
had
engaged
him
in
a
War
against
his
Parliament
.
I
will
not
wade
further
in
this
Question
,
Who
began
it
?
because
his
Majesty
on
his
dying
Royal
word
,
hath
asserted
it
by
this
undeniable
proof
,
Who
gave
the
first
Commissions
?
In
order
to
this
open
Hostility
intended
,
they
prohibit
all
resort
to
the
King
,
save
of
those
in
his
special
service
;
and
Command
the
respective
Sheriffs
to
seize
all
other
than
such
,
as
the
disturbers
of
the
peace
,
and
to
raise
the
County-power
against
them
;
who
were
so
divided
in
themselves
by
contrary
commands
,
that
no
difficulty
remained
to
the
near
ensuing
rupture
;
sides
being
taken
and
avowed
,
every
man
on
his
guard
,
waiting
for
the
first
blow
,
and
prepared
to
return
it
as
his
judgment
or
fancy
led
him
.
To
b●ow
up
this
animosity
into
fire
and
fury
,
They
publish
a
R●monstrance
.
next
comes
out
another
Remonstrance
from
the
Parliament
,
the
Daughter
of
that
which
was
presented
to
the
King
at
Hampton-Court
;
that
taxed
the
male-administration
of
the
Government
till
the
calling
of
the
Parliament
,
this
recited
all
their
complaints
from
the
very
first
day
of
their
sitting
to
the
date
thereof
;
their
dispute
of
the
Militia
,
the
business
of
the
five
Members
,
&c.
and
so
brought
the
state
of
their
quarrel
into
one
entire
body
,
that
their
Partisans
,
by
such
a
heap
of
grievances
,
i●
not
by
the
weight
of
them
,
might
without
more
scrutiny
own
them
,
and
stand
by
their
Caus●
.
This
miss'd
not
of
a
plenary
and
satisfactory
Answer
from
the
King
;
Which
is
answ●red
by
the
King
.
but
Hands
had
no
Ears
;
the
Faction
was
busie
and
employed
in
arming
themselves
,
like
Caesars
,
The●●avi●e
the
Scots
to
their
〈◊〉

write
and
fight
together
;
solliciting
also
in
the
mean
time
their
dear
Brethren
the
Scots
to
their
party
,
whom
though
the
King
so
lately
had
obliged
,
and
vouchsafed
them
a
particular
account
of
his
intentions
throughout
all
these
unhappy
transactions
,
summed
up
in
a
Letter
to
his
Privy
Counsel
in
that
Kingdom
,
Th●
Sco●s
pretend
a
z●al
for
his
Majesty
,
b●t
de●●a●●
for
the
Parliament
,
and
have
their
thanks
.
which
after
communication
begot
a
Protestation
from
that
Kingdom
of
all
the
Loyalty
and
affection
imaginable
,
with
many
serious
expressions
of
their
thanks
,
and
gratitude
to
his
Majesty
,
whose
Royal
word
in
the
concerns
both
of
Church
and
State
,
they
deemed
a
grievous
sin
to
doubt
or
question
:
Yet
nevertheless
presently
after
they
declared
themselves
in
favour
of
the
Parliament
,
in
a
large
manifestation
of
their
most
cordial
affection
to
them
,
with
as
many
more
good
words
as
they
had
received
Pounds
;
and
in
conclusion
,
order
the
said
Privy
Council
not
to
meddle
with
any
verbal
or
real
engagement
for
the
King
against
the
Parliament
of
England
,
but
to
keep
close
to
their
Covenant
and
their
English
brethren
.
For
all
which
kindness
the
Parliament
claw
them
again
,
and
returned
them
thanks
by
their
Commissioners
resident
in
London
.
But
this
Remonstrance
did
not
reach
all
the
matter
;
T●e
Parliament
set
forth
another
Remonstrance
,
which
the
King
answers
.
therefore
out
comes
a
third
,
comprehensive
enough
;
which
the
King
likewise
answered
.
It
will
be
tedious
to
recite
them
,
because
little
new
matter
in
them
,
only
more
passionately
written
,
as
bordering
betwixt
the
Gown
and
the
Sword
,
which
was
as
good
as
half
drawn
already
.
As
the
last
essay
for
an
Accommodation
,
They
send
him
19
Propositions
to
York
.
that
the
people
might
see
the
Parliament
would
leave
no
way
untryed
,
Nineteen
Propositions
are
sent
to
the
King
at
York
,
which
in
strict
terms
comprised
the
licentiousness
of
all
their
former
Papers
.
To
these
if
the
King
assented
,
as
they
withal
Petition
him
to
do
,
they
promise
to
make
him
a
glorious
Prince
.
For
the
Answer
to
these
by
the
King
,
The
King
returns
an
answer
to
them
.
I
refer
the
Reader
to
the
Kings
book
,
where
the
vncivility
and
unreasonableness
thereof
is
justly
censured
;
though
the
reply
he
made
to
them
presently
after
their
tender
,
was
so
argumentative
and
honest
,
that
it
stumbled
many
of
their
friends
,
and
confirmed
the
Kings
good
Subjects
in
their
Loyal
integrity
.
All
hopes
being
now
lost
of
this
Paper-scuffle
,
The
King
is
assisted
by
the
Yorkshire
Gentry
.
the
King
addresses
himself
to
the
Gentry
and
Commonalty
of
the
County
of
York
(
the
populacy
being
those
on
whom
the
Parliamentary
pretences
so
greatly
operated
)
and
declares
to
them
the
same
resolutions
he
had
formerly
made
,
desiring
to
undeceive
them
of
those
opinions
the
Parliament
had
instilled
every
where
;
and
chuseth
out
of
them
a
guard
of
Horse
,
and
a
Regiment
of
the
Trained
Bands
,
as
a
guard
to
his
person
;
which
they
cheerfully
undertook
,
and
did
Duty
in
that
quality
:
Here
he
also
found
an
addition
of
many
worthy
Gentlemen
and
Nobles
ready
for
his
service
.
The
L●●do●●rs
affect
the
Parliament
.
The
City
of
London
was
likewise
as
affectionate
for
the
Parliament
,
having
profered
their
service
,
which
was
accepted
,
to
secure
the
two
Houses
.
This
caused
the
King
to
send
a
Letter
to
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Court
of
Aldermen
,
The
King
writes
to
the
Lord
Mayor
&
Court
of
Aldermen
:
they
p●rsist
:
the
King
sends
out
his
Commissions
of
Array
.
forbidding
them
either
to
levy
Arms
,
or
raise
money
upon
that
account
.
But
seeing
them
to
persist
in
the
same
courses
,
he
first
sends
out
his
Commissions
of
Array
to
the
respective
Lord-Lieutenants
and
their
assistants
,
according
to
the
Statute
of
5
H.
4.
and
other
subsequent
Records
,
which
by
the
Parliament
(
on
the
question
)
were
resolved
to
be
against
Law
,
and
the
liberty
of
the
Subject
,
&c.
And
then
summons
his
Lords
and
Privy
Council
attending
him
at
York
,
and
declares
that
he
will
not
require
any
obedience
from
them
,
but
by
the
Laws
of
the
Land
;
charging
them
not
to
yeild
obedience
to
any
commands
illegally
imposed
by
others
,
and
that
he
will
defend
them
and
all
others
from
the
Votes
of
Parliament
.
Lastly
,
that
he
will
not
engage
them
in
any
War
against
the
Parliament
,
except
for
necessary
defence
against
such
as
invade
him
or
them
.
And
publisheth
a
General
Declaration
,
inviting
all
his
loving
Subjects
to
assist
him
.
Then
came
out
his
general
Declaration
,
where
after
he
had
fully
unmasqued
the
pretences
of
the
Parliament
in
their
project
of
Liberty
and
Religion
,
he
excites
all
his
loving
subjects
,
according
to
their
Oaths
of
Allegiance
and
Supremacy
,
to
contribute
their
aid
and
assistance
for
the
opposing
and
suppressing
those
Trayterous
attempts
of
such
persons
as
would
destroy
his
Person
,
Honour
,
and
Estate
,
Promiseth
8
l.
per
cent
.
and
his
Lands
,
Parks
,
and
Houses
,
for
security
.
and
engage
the
Kingdom
in
a
Civil
War
:
D●claring
,
that
whoever
shall
bring
unto
him
Money
or
Ammunition
,
Horse
and
Arms
,
for
his
or
the
publique
defence
,
shall
receive
8
l.
per
centum
interest
,
to
be
assured
out
of
his
Forrest-Lands
,
Parks
,
and
Houses
.
And
then
issues
out
a
Proclamation
shewing
the
Legality
of
his
Commissions
of

.
Proclaims
the
Legality
of
his
Commissions
of
Array
.
To
all
these
the
Parliament
respectively
answer
;
justifie
their
proceedings
,
and
promise
to
use
the
money
advanced
for
the
Irish
service
,
according
to
the
first
designation
of
it
,
though
herein
they
failed
abundantly
,
converting
the
most
part
of
it
to
their
own
use
and
necessities
.
The
Parliament
justifie
their
proceedings
.
Though
the
Parliament
was
intent
on
the
business
of
levying
Arms
,
yet
several
Patriots
of
both
Houses
did
what
they
could
to
perswade
to
an
accommodation
;
amongst
whom
Sir
Benjamin
Rudyard
was
one
of
the
chief
,
Sir
Ben.
Rudyard
and
other
Members
of
Parliament
earnest
for
an
accommodation
.
who
all
along
warned
them
of
the
miseries
of
a
Civil
War
;
and
what
a
shame
it
would
be
to
them
in
after-times
,
and
so
consequently
to
all
Parliaments
,
if
when
the
King
had
condescended
so
far
,
they
should
proceed
to
the
effusion
of
blood
upon
so
unnecessary
a
quarrel
.
He
dyed
soon
after
the
first
blood
was
drawn
;
and
that
speech
of
his
on
his
death-bed
is
very
remarkable
:
Mr.
Pym
,
and
Mr.
Hambden
(
the
Grandees
of
the
then
Faction
)
told
me
,
Mr.
Hambden
,
(
saith
he
)
That
they
thought
the
King
so
ill
beloved
by
his
Subjects
,
that
he
could
never
be
able
to
raise
an
Army
to
oppose
them
.
Which
mistake
of
theirs
,
cost
many
thousand
lives
.
On
the
contrary
also
,
many
elaborate
vehement
Speeches
were
made
by
Mr.
Pym
and
other
Grandees
,
to
encourage
the
Citizens
to
stand
fast
to
the
interest
of
the
Parliament
;
and
the
City
was
not
wayward
to
such
councels
.
Isaac
Penington
was
Mayor
;
Mr.
Pym
,
and
Isaac
Penington
Lord
M.
of
London
,
as
violent
for
a
war
.
a
busie
stickler
of
the
Faction
;
and
many
of
the
Court
of
Aldermen
were
little
better
affected
:
the
Common
Council
were
generally
of
the
same
temper
;
and
indeed
the
greatest
number
of
the
people
inhabiting
the
said
City
were
alike
disposed
.
Now
the
Militia
was
on
foot
:
every
where
the
Parliaments
Cause
had
the
precedency
of
affection
,
The
Militia
set
on
foot
.
their
Ordinances
being
obeyed
like
Acts
;
wherefore
the
King
prohibited
by
Proclamation
any
Levi●s
or
Musters
of
his
Subjects
any
where
in
England
without
his
command
,
and
sets
on
foot
his
Commission
of
Array
;
which
the
Parliament
likewise
inhibit
to
be
obeyed
any
where
:
but
neither
of
them
signified
any
thing
to
those
that
were
bent
and
inclined
to
each
Cause
;
so
that
the
preparations
for
War
,
both
of
Men
,
Horse
,
Money
and
Arms
,
went
on
very
fast
,
especially
on
the
Parliaments
side
at
London
,
where
all
persons
of
all
ages
and
Sexes
contribute
so
excessively
to
the
furtherance
of
the
War
,
The
●●●●iament
bor●●w
money
o●●he
publick
Faith
.
that
the
sum
which
it
amounted
unto
is
almost
incredible
.
This
money
was
borrowed
upon
the
credit
of
the
PVBLIQVE
FAITH
,
by
an
Ordinance
of
Parliament
;
a
name
much
adored
then
,
and
as
much
contemned
and
hated
afterwards
.
The
King
finding
how
the
pulse
of
these
distracted
Kingdoms
did
beat
,
The
King
〈…〉
for
〈◊〉
peace
.
giving
symptoms
of
some
violent
disease
and
distemper
approaching
,
redoubled
his
instances
to
the
Houses
for
peace
,
adjuring
them
to
prevent
that
blood-sh●d
now
so
threatning
and
imminen●
;
and
they
reg●st
the
like
entreaties
and
●●●●●stations
upon
him
(
but
not
bating
an
ace
,
or
receding
a
tittle
from
the●r
〈◊〉
Demands
)
so
that
there
was
no
hopes
or
likelihood
of
a
Pacification
.
Nor
wanted
there
Artifices
to
uphold
and
maintain
this
Credit
and
Autho●
〈◊〉
which
the
Parliament
had
gained
over
the
City
,
Several
f●●tious
rumours
raised
against
the
Kings
friends
.
their
Purses
and
Affections
:
they
were
told
,
and
that
in
solemn
Assemblies
,
that
the
evil
Counsellors
about
the
King
intended
the
abrogation
of
their
Cities
Charter
;
and
if
they
prevailed
,
would
expose
their
Wives
and
Children
to
Rapine
,
Violence
,
and
Villany
,
and
the
wealth
and
riches
of
the
City
;
a
prey
to
desperate
and
necessitous
persons
:
All
which
while
they
continued
in
the
Parliaments
protection
,
they
should
have
no
cause
to
fear
.
With
these
preparatory
discourses
and
incentives
,
The
London
-
Mini●ters
and
Citizens
too
violent
for
the
Faction
.
the
War
was
presently
ushered
in
;
nay
,
the
Citizens
were
ready
to
court
it
,
as
the
certainest
way
of
safety
.
Add
we
also
the
encouragements
of
the
Ministers
of
London
,
to
the
other
incitations
,
who
were
so
violent
in
their
crying
up
the
Cause
,
that
even
meer
Children
became
Volunteers
,
forsook
their
Parents
,
and
followed
the
Camp
.
Thither
also
are
we
now
come
:
For
from
the
Kings
leaving
his
Court
at
York
,
with
an
intent
to
encourage
his
party
in
the
Commission
of
Array
,
and
stitle
the
Ordinance
of
the
Militia
,
we
cannot
call
his
removes
a
Progress
,
but
Expedition
;
and
indeed
it
was
a
perfect
War
levyed
,
though
at
such
distances
,
that
the
twilight
of
peace
was
preserved
only
by
his
hovering
neer
the
Solstice
of
his
Kingdom
,
the
midland
,
without
engaging
the
confines
of
their
Association
;
which
if
he
had
done
speedily
,
it
is
probable
we
had
not
seen
that
night
of
confusion
that
followed
in
his
setting
and
declination
.
His
Majesty
therefore
having
again
called
the
Gentry
of
York
together
at
rendezvous
,
protested
his
unwillingless
,
as
well
as
unprovidedness
for
a
War
;
desiring
(
if
he
should
be
thereunto
compelled
)
their
assistance
in
the
maintaining
his
most
just
Cause
;
and
then
departed
for
Lincolnshire
to
Newark
,
The
King
at
Newark
,
he
sends
to
the
Lord
Willoughby
of
Parham
to
defill
from
aiding
the
Rebellion
,
and
returns
to
York
.
whither
he
had
sent
before
his
Letters
Mandatory
to
my
Lord
Willoughby
of
Parham
,
charging
him
to
desist
from
raising
,
levying
,
or
exercising
any
forces
within
that
County
,
by
vertue
of
his
Commission
from
the
Parliament
;
wherein
nevertheless
he
had
proceeded
.
Here
the
King
convened
the
Gentlemen
of
this
County
,
and
made
to
them
the
like
Protestations
;
and
having
received
some
small
supplies
,
returned
back
again
to
York
.
At
the
same
time
the
Parliament
were
listing
men
apace
,
and
appointing
their
General
,
and
the
Superior
Officers
of
the
Army
.
His
Majesty
about
this
time
meeting
with
some
oppositions
from
the
Earl
of
Stamford
,
The
King
causeth
the
Earl

Stamford

Lord-Lieutenant
of

was
pleased
to

the
said

to
the
great
dissatisfaction
of
the
Parliament

On

onely
making

to
shew
his
just
indignation
,

to

lost
unhappily
some

marched
directly
into

About
the
beginning
of
August
,
he
came
to

,
and
on

published
his

GENTLEMEN
,
His
Oration
to
the
Gentry
,
Freeholders
and
Inhabitants
.
IT
is
some
benefit
to
me
from
the
insolency
and
misfortunes
which
have
driven
me
about
,
that
they
have
brought
me
to
so
good
a
part
of
my
Kingdom
,
and
to
so
faithful
a
part
of
my
people
.
I
hope
neither
you
nor
I
shall
repent
in
coming
hither
;
I
will
do
my
part
that
you
may
not
,
and
of
you
I
was
confident
before
I
came
.
The
residence
of
an
Array
is
not
usually
pleasant
to
any
place
,
and
mine
may
carry
more
fear
with
it
,
Wherein
he
promiseth
to
have
a
tender
respect
to
his
Subjects
.
since
it
may
be
thought
(
being
robbed
and
spoiled
of
all
mine
own
,
and
such
terrour
used
to
fright
and
keep
all
men
from
supplying
of
me
)
I
must
onely
live
upon
the
aid
and
relief
of
my
people
;
but
be
not
afraid
:
I
would
to
God
my
poor
Subjects
suffered
no
more
by
the
insolence
and
violence
of
that
Army
raised
against
me
(
though
they
have
made
themselves
wanton
even
with
plenty
)
than
you
shall
do
by
mine
;
and
yet
I
fear
I
cannot
prevent
all
disorders
;
I
will
do
my
best
.
And
this
I
promise
you
,
no
man
shall
be
a
looser
by
me
,
Choosing
rather
to
melt
downe
his
own
plate
,
Sell
or
Morgage
his
Land
,
than
to
oppress
them
.
if
I
can
help
it
.
I
have
sent
hither
for
a
Mint
;
I
will
melt
down
all
my
own
plate
,
and
expose
all
my
Land
to
sale
or
morgage
,
that
if
it
be
possible
,
I
may
not
bring
the
least
pressure
upon
you
:
in
the
mean
time
,
I
have
summoned
you
hither
to
do
that
for
me
and
your selves
,
for
the
maintenance
of
your
Religion
,
and
the
Law
of
the
Land
(
by
which
you
enjoy
all
that
you
have
)
which
other
men
do
against
us
.
Do
not
suffer
so
good
a
Cause
to
be
lost
,
for
want
of
supplying
me
with
that
which
will
be
taken
from
you
by
those
who
pursue
me
with
this
violence
.
And
whilst
these
ill
men
Sacrifice
their
Mony
,
Plate
,
and
utmost
industry
to
destroy
the
Common-wealth
,
be
you
no
less
liberal
to
preserve
it
.
Assure
your selves
,
if
it
please
God
to
bless
me
with
success
,
I
shall
remember
the
assistance
that
every
particular
man
here
gives
me
,
to
his
advantage
.
However
,
it
will
hereafter
,
(
how
furiously
soever
the
minds
of
men
are
now
possest
)
be
honour
and
comfort
to
you
,
that
with
some
charge
and
trouble
to
your selves
,
you
did
your
part
to
support
the
King
,
and
preserve
the
Kingdom
.
With
those
expressions
,
to
which

won
the

and
the
adjacent
,
that
before
the
middle
of
October
▪
which
was
about
three
weeks
after
his
first
coming
to
Shrewsbury
,
with
a
small
party
,
rather
than
any
force
or
Army
,
he
was
grown
to
a
compleat
strength
,
consisting
of
about
6000
foot
,
3000
brave
horse
,
and
almost
2000
Dragooners
.
From
thence
,
having
issued
out
Warrants
for
Horses
and
Ca●ts
,
in
order
to
his
removal
,
he
marched

but
made
no
essay
or
attempt
upon
it
;
not
intending
to
lose
any
time
in
sitting
down
before
it
,
unless
the
Town
had
been
freely
surrendred
to
him
.
From
thence
he
came
to
Southam
,
not
many
miles
distant
from
their
Lord
General
.
This
March
of
his
struck
some
terror
into
the
City
of
London
it self
,
The
Londoners
〈…〉
.
though
all
their
Army
was
then
in
a
readiness
,
and
attending
the
King
;
therefore
the
Trained
Bands
were
speedily
raised
for
a
guard
of
the
City
,
and
fortifications
,
such
as
the
time
would
allow
,
were
ordered
to
be
forthwith
made
round
it
;
ac●ording
to
which
Order
,
many
hundreds
of
men
were
set
on
work
,
who
were
soon
alter
seconded
by
the
several
Companies
and
Parishes
in
London
and
the
Suburbs
,
as
also
by
the
Wives
and
Maids
,
who
followed
a
Drum
in
rank
and
file
,
with
a
Rampier-basket
between
two
of
them
,
until
a
regular
Line
and
Circumva●lation
,
taking
up
twelve
miles
in
circuit
,
was
quite
finished
.

Divers
Citizens
suspected
for
their
affection
and
loyalty
to
the
King
,
were
also
at
this
time
secured
.
And
the

Indeed
the
Kings
design
was
London
,
which
at
the
approach
of
such
an
Army
would
put
his
friends
in
a
capacity
to
appear
for
him
,
and
facilitate
and
end
the
War
in
its
begining
,
which
the
King
passionately
desired
.
But
considering
that
it
was
dangerous
venturing
to
be
inclosed
between
the
Army
and
the
City
,
with
their
entire
forces
,
he
resolved
to
face
about
,
and
fight
the
Earl
of
Essex
first
,
who
having
garrisoned
several
places
,
and
lessened
his
numerous
Army
,
was
advancing
after
him

whom
and

happened

where
at
first
the
Parliament-Army
had
the
better
;
but
Prince
Rupert
falling
in
the
Rear
,
forced
them
to
leave
their
design
.
Colon●l
Sands
was
mortally
wounded
,
his
Major
Douglass
was
killed
,
with
the
loss
of
threescore
men
;
nevertheless
Essex
hastily
advancing
,
the
Royallists
quitted
Worcester
,
which
thereupon
was
Garrisoned
for
the
Parliament
.
While
the
Earl
of
Essex
staid
here
about
settling
the
Militia
,
the
King
passed
directly
away
from
Shrewsbury
,
(

he
had
coyned
money

got
the

thereupon
doubled
his
haste

therefore
resolved
to

On
Sunday
,
Octob.
23.
the
King
in
Battalia
descended
from
Edge-hill
;
whence
with
a
Prospective-glass
he
viewed
the
Parliaments
Army
;
and
being
asked
what
his
Majesty
thought
of
them
,
he
answered
:
I
never
saw
the
Rebels
before
in
a
body
;
I
am
resolved
to
fight
them
:
God
and
good
men
assist
my
righteous
cause
.
The
King
had
the
advantage
both
of
the
ground
and
Wind
,
his
Army
drawn
up
in
very
good
order
;
his
main
Battel
of
Foot
winged
on
both
sides
with
a
number
of
brave
Horse
;
but
those
on
the
right
,
where
Prince
Rupert
commanded
,
were
the
most
choice
and
couragious
.
The
other
Wing
was
led
by
the
Lord
Wilmot
,
Lieutenant-General
of
the
Horse
;
the
Battel
by
the
Earl
of
Lindsey
General
of
the
field
,
on
foot
in
the
head
of
them
,
with
a
half-Pike
in
his
hand
.
In
the
whole
Army
,
were
very
many
expert
and
valiant
Commanders
:
all
the
distrust
was
in
the
Welch
Infantry
,
who
at
first
beginning
were
somwhat
skittish
.
In
this
posture
the
King
marched
into
the
Vale
adjoyning
,
called
The
Vale
of
Red-Horse
,
a
name
sutable
to
the
colour
that
was
that
day
bestowed
on
it
:
which
Essex
having
notice
of
,
he
presently
drew
his
Army
out
of
Keynton
Town
,
where
he
quartered
that
night
,
and
put
it
into
this
order
.
He
himself
,
as
the
other
General
,
on
foot
at
the
head
of
his
Infantry
,
which
made
up
one
entire
body
,
opposed
himself
to
the
Kings
;
on
the
left
Wing
stood
Col.
Ramsey
a
Scotch
man
,
with
five
Regiments
of
Horse
;
on
the
other
Sir
William
Balfour
,
and
Sir
Philip
Stapleton
,
who
commanded
the
Generals
Life-guard
of
Horse
,
that
fought
stoutly
;
and
behind
them
,
as
a
Reserve
,
was
placed
the
Lord
Fielding
with
his
Regiment
of
Horse
.
Prince
Rupert
ov●rthrows
Col.
Ramsey
.
Col.
Essex
kill'd
.
Both
Armies
thus
facing
one
another
,
the
fight
began
with
the
exchange
of
Artillery
;
which
doing
no
great
execution
on
either
side
,
Prince
Rupert
fell
with
fury
upon
Col.
Ramsey
,
and
utterly
overthrew
him
,
so
that
that
whole
Wing
fled
with
speed
towards
Keynton
.
The
Foot
placed
neer
to
that
Wing
seeing
the
rout
and
slaughter
,
threw
down
their
Arms
,
and
fled
also
;
of
which
Colonel
Essex's
Brigade
was
the
greatest
part
.
The
Colonel
being
thus
forsaken
,
put
himself
into
the
battel
,
and
was
of
great
service
afterwards
that
day
,
till
he
was
shot
in
the
Thigh
with
a
Bullet
,
of
which
he
soon
after
dyed
.
Prince
Rupert

the
chase
to

Rupert's

fell
there
on
the
Waggons
Essex
had
left
behind
him
,
and
returned
not
to
the
Field
,
(
which
else
had
been
totally
the
Kings
)
until
Colonel
Hambdens
Regiment
,
Col.
Hambden
comes
to
assist
Essex
.
and
some
other
Forces
which
were
coming
to
joyn
with
Essex
,
forced
him
with
their
Canon
out
of
the
Lanes
wherein
he
continued
his
pursuit
.
(
The
Earl
of
Carnarvan
seconding

On
the
other
Wing
,

Wilmot
worsted
by
Sir
Wil.
Balfour
.
E.
of
Lindsey
mortally
wounded
;
his
Son
the
Lord
Willoughby

.
Sir
William
Balfour
had
put
my
Lord
Wilmot
to
it
,
and
had
beat
him
from
his
ground
;
so
that
the
Kings
Foot
on
that
side
were
left
naked
,
and
both
Front
and
Flank
attaqued
by
Foot
and
Horse
.
The
main
Battel
was
here
joyned
:
Balfour
breaking
in
pieces
two
Regiments
of
the
Kings
,
had
opened
the
way
to
the
Standard
.
Here
the
Earl
of
Lindsey
was
mortally
wounded
,
performing
the
part
of

valiant
man
,
as
well
as
an
expert
General
;

battel
Knighted
,
and
made
him
a
Banneret
for
his
noble
service
;
and
the
Parliamentarians
were
repelled
again
.
It
was
neer
evening
,
and
both
Armies
stood
at
a
gaze
;
Horse
being
drawn
,
as
in
the
beginning
of

only
to

intentions

and
to

recruit
:
a
notable
Skirmish
at
Branford
,
where
the
King
met
with
the
Regiments
of
Col.
Hollis
,
Col.
Hambden
,
and
the
Lord
Brooks
,
300
Parliamentarians
slayn
,
among
whom
Lieu.
Col.
Quarles
,
as
many
taken
prisoners
.
the
Royalists
knew
that
Essex
had
received
an
addition
as
aforesaid
under
Hambden
,
and
so
were
stronger
in
Foot
;
the
Essexians
likewise
knew
that
Prince
Ruperts
Horse
,
which
were
the
best
,
were
as
good
as
fresh
and
untouched
,
and
they
had
tasted
of
their
Gallantry
.
In
this
consultation
they
stood
till
night
,
when
the
King
retreated
to
the
place
from
whence
he
descended
,
the
side
of
Edge-Hill
,
where
with
the
Prince
in
his
Coach
he
passed
that
night
,
his
Army
keeping
great
Fires
;
and
in
the
morning
marched
his
Foot
away
,
while
the
Horse
stood
in
Battalia
towards
Ayno
.
The
Earl
of
Essex
lodged
that
night
on
the
place
where
the
fight
was
,
and
then
(
not
without
fear
and
discouragement
)
marched
to
Warwick
,
leaving
the
King
to
pursue
his
way
for
London
,
which
was
the
thing
by
this
fight
he
attempted
to
hinder
.
The
Victory
is
questioned
by
either
part
:
the
King
was
denyed
it
,
because
he
left
the
field
,
and
the
dead
to
the
disposal
of
the
enemy
,
and
marched
away
.
That
was
answered
,
that
it
was
agreeable
to
the
Kings
designe
,
which
was
no
more
than
to
make
his
way
free
for
London
aforesaid
;
and
expedition
was
requisite
.
It
is
denyed
also
to
the
Parliament
,
for
that
they
lost
somewhat
more
men
,
and
more
Standards
,
and
received
a
confess'd
defeat
in
one
part
of
the
Army
:
But
the
main
was
,
that
they
durst
not
offer
to
set
upon
or
impede
the
King
in
his
March
the
next
morning
,
but
go
away
far
enough
from
him
to
Coventry
,
and
thereby
lost
Banbury
(
wherein
was
a
well-appointed
Garrison
)
to
the
King
;
which
was
a
remarkable
Trophee
of
his
Conquest
.
However
,
both
parties
gave
God
solemn
thanks
(
on
days
set
apart
)
for
their
success
and
victory
;
the
Parliament
adding
other
to
their
General
for
his
valour
and
good
conduct
in
that
business
,
and
presented
him
with
5000
l.
for
a
reward
of
his
service
.
On
both
sides
were
slayn
here
neer
6000
men
,
as
by
the
Country
it
was
judged
,
who
had
the
burial
of
the
dead
.
On
the
Kings
party
were
slayn
of
note
,
the
right
Noble
and
valiant
the
Lord
Aubigney
,
who
died
of
his
wounds
at
Abingdon
,
and
was
buried
in
Christ-Church
Oxford
,
(
Father
to
the
most
illustrious
Charles
Duke
of
Richmond
)
;
the
Earl
of
Lindsey
,
Sir
Edmond
Varney
,
as
before
,
and
Colonel
Monro
a
Scotch-man
.
On
the
Parliaments
side
,
the
Lord
St.
Iohn
of
Bletso
,
who
dyed
also
of
his
wounds
;
Colonel
Essex
,
and
Lieutenant-Colonel
Ramsey
;
all
men
of
singular
courage
and
resolution
.
The
Earl
of
Essex
next
day
marched
towards
Coventry
,
and
the
King
by
Ayno
,
(
where
his
Army
refreshed
themselves
)
to
Banbury
,
which
was
presently
delivered
to
him
;
and
so
to
Oxford
.
The
King
marching
from
Oxford
,
was
by
the
way
to
London
met
by
Commissioners
from
the
Parliament
,
tendring
Propositions
,
and
desiring
that
during
the
Treaty
the
Kings
Army
should
march
no
neerer
this
way
;
to
spin
time
,
while
Essex
could
recruit
his
Army
:
Wherefore
the
King
advancing
from
Colebrook
,
came
to
Brainford
,
where
part
of
the
Parliaments
Army
,
(
being
the
Regiments
of
Colonel
Hollis
,
Hambden
,
and
the
Lord
Brooks
)
for
a
while
maintained
their
ground
stoutly
;
but
being
over-powred
,
some
were
driven
into
the
River
,
and
there
drowned
,
and
three
hundred
slayn
,
among
whom
was
Lieutenant-Colonel
Quarles
,
and
as
many
taken
prisoners
.
This
brought
a
general
consternation
upon
the
City
of
London
;
all
shops
were
shut
up
,
and
all
the
Regiments
,
both
Trained
Bands
and
Auxiliaries
,
were
drawn
out
:
So
that
the
Earl
of
Essex
had
a
most
compleat
and
numerous
Army
of
a
sudden
.
Hereupon
the
King
presently
marched
away
,
fearing
to
be
encompassed
by

had
been

At

,
in

,
the

besieged

and
as
he
was
viewing

a

After
General
Essex
had
recruited
his

with

,
the
first
thing
he
attempted
was
the

,
after
ten
days
siege
was
yielded
by
Colonel
Fielding
(
then
substituted
Governour
)
to
the
Parliament
.
In
the
North
,
things
went
something
equaller
then
before
on
the
Parliaments
side
:
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
had
defeated
the
Kings
Forces
under
the
Marquess
of
Newcastle
at
Wakefield
,
and
buoyed
up
the
sinking
interest
of
that
Cause
.
Monmouth
likewise
was
taken
by
the
Parliaments
Forces
under
the
command
of
Sir
William
Waller
;
who
also
took
Hereford
and
other
places
.
This
in
sum
:
more
particularly
now
.
Of
the
West
,
where
the
Kings
interest
bore
the
greatest
sway
,
we
have
hitherto
said
little
:
It
will
be
now
time
to
turn
that
way
,
and
see
from
what
beginnings
the
War
arose
in
that
quarter
,
where
for
the
most
part
,
its
principal
events
and
concerns
were
placed
.
Two
Proclamations
were
about
this
time
published
;
one
from
the
Earl
of
Cumberland
,
the
other
from

Sir

,
were
declared

which
the
Parliament
retaliate
upon
the
Earls
in
like
manner
.
The
menage
of
the
Military
matters
there
,
were
on
the
Kings
part
,
as
to
the
remote
Counties
of
Cornwal
and

shire
,
(
after

Retreat

where
they
were

committed
to
four
eminent
persons
,
viz.
the

;
by
whose
joynt
Counsels

Forces
,
levyed
by
their
respective
Friends
and
Interests
,
an
Army
was
framed
to
oppose
the
Earl
of
Stamford
,
then
coming
down
from
Glocester
,
where
he
first
was
made
Governour
,
as
Lord-Lieutenant
joyntly
with
the
Lord
Roberts
of
the
same
County
,
to
settle
the
Militia
for

having
a
Commission
therefore
,
according

was
well
advanced

it
was
taken
into
consideration
to
whom
the
alone
charge
and
ordering
of
the
Battel
should
be
intrusted
,
for
four
would
breed
distraction
:
whereupon
the
business
of
the
day
was
deservedly
devolved
upon
Sir
Ralph
Hopton
,
who
had
been
an
old
Souldier
in
the
Low-Countries
;
and
yet
before
the
War
,
had
been
taken
for
a
Puritan
,
and
a
Commonwealths-man
,
against
the
Prerogative
:
he
was
desired
by
them
all
,
as
hitherto
they
had
prevented
any
such
division
,
by
an
equal
moderation
,
to
take
it
upon
him
.
After
therefore
he
had
commanded
publique
prayers
in
the
head
of
every
Squadron
,
He
orders
publike
Prayers
at
the
head
of
each
Squadron
.
(
which
was
performed
)
he
drew
up
the
Foot
in
the
best
Order
he
could
,
placing
a
Forlorn
of
Musqueteers
in
the
little
enclosures
,
and
then
winged
them
with
the
Horse
and
Dragoons
he
had

This
done
,
The

two
Minion
small
Drakes
being
fetched
from
the
Lord
Mohuns
house
,
were
planted
within
random-shot
of
the
enemy
,
concealed
by
the
Horse
from
them
;
which
were
discharged
with
such
success
,
that
the
enemy
quickly
quitted
their
ground
,
and
in
a
rout
fled
;
on
which
the
Royalists
did
sparing
execution
.
There
were
taken
1250
prisoners
,
most
of
their
Colours
,
all
their
Canon
,
Arms

Ammunition
;

(
which
afforded
ill
footing
for

,
of
which
the
Earls
Forces
chiefly
consisted
)
Charges
the
Parliamentarians
,
where
at
last
he
obtained
a
Victory
with
the
price
of
his
life
;
a
dear
bargain
for
the
King
and
his
Cause
,
of
which
he
was
a
most
magnanimous
Assertor
;
he
was
first
unhors'd
,
whether
by
the
disadvantage
of
the
Ground
,
or
born
down
by
the
Enemies
,
is
uncertain
:
he
refused
quarter
,
and
was
killed
by
a
private
unlucky
hand
.
His
Forces
returned
afresh
to
the
Siege
,
where
soon
after
they
were
seconded
by
Prince
Rupert
,
who
having
coasted
the
Country
from
his
summons
of
Glocester
into
Wales
,
●itchfield

to
Prince
Rupert

returned
back
by
Litchfield
,
where
he
so
powerfully
carried
on
the
Siege
,
that
the
stout
Governour
was
compelled
to
hearken
to
his
Terms
,
and
surrender
that
place
,
which
continued
for
the
King
throughout
the
War
,
the
price
it
cost
being
well
worth
,

requiring
the
safe
keeping
of
the
Jewel

Anno
Dom.
1643.
THis
year
began
with
the
smart
actions
,
Prince
●upert
at
Brimingham
.
A
slight
skirmish
.
as
before
,
of
Prince
Rupert
,
who
on
the
third
of
April
entred
and
Mastered
Brimingham

,
the
residence
of
a
famed
Lecturer
.
Some
Welchmen
were
here
got
together
for
the
Parliament
,
where
they
made
some
little
defence
;
but
were
soon
beaten
up
to
their
Barricadoes
,
which
they
forsook
likewise
and
fled
;
betwixt
150
killed
and
taken
,
The
Earl
of
Denbigh
slain
.
some
good
Ammunition
,
but
all
not
worth
the
life
of
that
stout
old
Earl
of
Denbigh
,
who
was
here
killed
in
the
Service
of
his
Soveraign
.
Scarborough
delivered
by
Capt.
Brown
Bushel
.
for
which
he
was
beheaded
.
Next
ensued
a
revolt
of
a
notable
place
in
the
North
to
the
King
,
as
the
year
before
began
with
a
notable
revolt
of
Hull
to
the
Parliament
:
such
another
parallax
was
throughout
the
War
in
the
Western
and
Northern
Battels
;
if
one
had
the
better
in
the
West
,
at
the
same
time
the
other
had
it
in
the
North.
Now
Scarborough
was
delivered
to
the
King
by
the
means
of
one
Captain
Brown
Bushel
,
who
long
afterwards
paid
for
it
with
his
head
at
Tower-hill
.

several

and
Skirmishes

for
the

,
who
had
declared
this

overthrown
at
Bramham-Moor
;
and
the
Parliaments
Cause
,
through
this
and
other
losses
in
those
parts
,
greatly
endangered
;
whereupon
the
Scots
were

Now
the
Parliament
flew
high
in
their
consultations
at
home
;
the
Grandees
working
upon
the
sober
part
of
the
Parliament
,
that
the
action
of
the
Queen
,
in
bringing
over
Arms
,
Money
,
and
other
provisions
for
the
assistance
of
the
King
,
was
a
dangerous
destructive
business
,
wound
up
the
anger
of
the
two
Houses
to
such
a
pitch
,
that
she
was
proclaimed
Traytor
:
and
at
the
same
time
,
down
went
all
the
Crosses
throughout
England
;
Cheapside-Cross
and
other
Crosses
demolished
.

Regalia
seized
at
Westminster
by
Mr.
H.
Martin
.
particularly
,
the
third
of
this
moneth
,
Cheapside-Cross
was
demolished
.
And
for
the
better
carrying
on
of
the
work
of

,
Mr.
Henry
Martin
a
Member
of
Parliament
enters
violently
into
the
Abby-Church
at
Westminster
,
defaces
the
Ornaments
of
the
Church
,
and
breaking
open
two
doors
makes
his
way
to
a
private
place
where
the
Crowns
,
Scepters
,
and
other
Utensils
of
State
used
by
Kings
on
their
day
of
Coronation
were
:
but
Mr.
Wheeler
perswaded
him
to
be
more
moderate
,
he
only
secured
them
by
sealing
up

Doors

the

took
the
Solemn
League

Covenant
at
Westminster
.
It
was
first
framed
in
Scotland
,
and
was
generally
taken
by
them
in
the
Year
1639.
The
main
drift
of
it
was
against
the
Episcopal
Dignity
,
and
was
now
,
for
the
mutual
indearment
of
the
two
Nations
(
assurance
being
promised

from

on

a
Battel
happened
at

in

County

The
Kings
Forces
had
the
disadvantage
,
both
in

,
and
being
necessitated
to
March
up
a
ste●p
Hill
;
open

were
above
5000

with

quantity

supplied
that
defect
with
the
strength
of

they
were
fortified

as
resolutely
beaten

;
the
fight
continuing
from
five
in
the
morning
,
till
three
in
the
after-noon
,
without
any
certainty
of
event
or
success
on

party

stoutly
against

commanded
by
Sir

,
to
the
disordering
of

Party
,

the
overthrowing

;
but
in
time
came
Sir

,
and
restored
the
fortune
of
the
day
,
by
taking

.
Towards
the
end
of
the
day
,
the
several
parties
met
at
the
top
of
the
Hill
,
with
great
shouts
of

;

Bridg-Water
for
the
Parliament
.
Sir
William
Waller
was
now
advanced
into
the
West
with
a
well-furnished
Army
,
to
prevent
those
dangers
which
the
growing
Fortunes
of
the
Lord
Hopton
threatned
to
the
Cause
,
and
the
well-affected
in
those
Counties
.
By
force
partly
,
and
partly
by
perswasion
,
he
had
screwed
himself
into
a
great
many
Towns
,
chiefly
Taunton
and
Bridge-water
,
which
he
Garisoned
:

advanced
East-ward

and
at

met
with
Sir

drawn
up
in
a
place
of
great
advantage
with
Forlorns
.
Sir
Bevil
Greenvil
and
Sir
Nicolas
Slanning
advanced
first
upon
them
,
and
some
Horse
;
but
Sir
William
had
so
lined
the
Hedges
,
Landsdown
fight
.
and
the
Horse
were
so
galled
with
Musquet-shot
,
that
they
were
forced
to
retreat
disorderly
towards
the
Rear
of
their
Foot
:
Sir
Bevil
Greenvil
and
Sir
Nicholas
Slanning
advance
towards
Sir
William
Waller
.
when
the
Cornish-men
came
on
with
resolution
,
and
beat
them
out
of
their
Hedges
;
and
pursued
them
up
an
ascent
,
where
they
had
almost
regularly
fortified
themselves
by
Hedges
,
and
laid
Stone-walls
.
From
hence
Waller
charged
with
a
body
of
Horse
,
and
again
disordered
them
;
yet
they
rallied
,
and
received
another
Repulse
▪
in
one
of
which
Major
Lowre
(
that
commanded
part

was
slain
in

in

of
his
stand

,
with
which
he
had
done

o●ten
;
divers
Gentlemen
of
less
note
falling
with
him
,
until
in
conclusion

drawing
on
,
nay
quite
spent
,
for
it
was
one
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
,
and
past
,
before
they
gave
over
,
the
Battel
might
be
said
(
or
a
continued
Skirmish
it
was
)
to
be
drawn
betwixt
them
,
the
Royalists
continuing
in
the
Field
all

,
having
possession
of
the
Field
,
dead
,
and
of
300
Arms
,

by
some
accident

treachery
was
fired
,
Lord

and
the
Lord
Hopton
thereby
hurt

endangered
.
Here
were
slain

on
the

part
Mr.

That
which
on
the
other
side
seems
to
say
that
Sir
William
Waller
had
the
better
of
it
,
is
,
that
within
two
days
after
he
had
cooped
up
my
Lord
Hopton
in
the
Devises
;
this
again
is
imputed
to
the
want
of
Ammunition

the
Royalists
being

But
long
they
were
not
surrounded
in
that

place
,
before
Prince

,
the
Earl
of
Carnarvan
,
the
Lord
Wilmot
,
and
Lord
Biron
,
with
1500
choyce
Horse
,
came
to
their
rescue
,
and
presented
themselves
on
the
13
of
the

Month
by
break
of
day
,
to
the
Enemies
Leaguer
;
and
having
given
a
signe
to
their
Friends
within
,
fell
with
much
valour
on
their
Enemies
,
and
routed
them
on
Round-way-down
:
Which
Onset
being
seconded
from
the
Foot
within
,
proved
a
total
rout
to
the
Enemy
,
whose
Curassiers
under
Sir
Arthur
Hazlerig
made
some
resistance
;
They
ro●t
Waller
and
Hazlerig
;
who
fled
to
Bristol
,
thence
to
Farnham
,
and
so
to
London
.
but
being
once
broken
,
became
the
ruine
of
the
Infantry
,
who
presently
submitted
,
and
had
quarter
given
them
.
Here
were
slayn
800
,
besides
what
fell
in
the
pursuit
,
which
was
continued
ten
miles
an
end
with
great
Fury
;
but
then
their
tired
Horses
began
to
lag
:
And
so
Sir
William
and
Sir
Arthur
came
first
to
Bristol
,
thence
to
Farnham
,
and
from
thence
with
expedition
to
London
.
There
were
taken
two
Thousand
Prisoners
,
four
Brass
Guns
,
with
their
Ammunition
and
Baggage
,
eight
and
twenty
Colours
,
and
nine
Corners
.
Upon
this
fortunate
day
,
The
King
and
Queen
at
Oxford
.
the
Queen
with
the
King
from
Edge-Hill
made
her
joyful
Entry
into
Oxford
;
and
not
long
after
,
the
Earl
of
Lindsey
,
who
was
taken
Prisoner
when
his
Father
was
killed
at
Edge-Hill
,
was
welcomed
to
the
Court
there
from
his
restraint
.
The
young
E.
of
Lindsey
at
Oxford
.
This
loss
soon
reduced
Bristol
into
the
Kings
hands
,
being
delivered
by
Colonel
Fiennes
after
three
days
siege
to
Prince
Rupert
;
Bristol
delivered
to
Prince
Rupert
.
for
which
surrender
he
had
like
to
have
lost
his
head
.
These
successes
drew
the
King
into
the
West

Dorchester
,
Portland
,
Weymouth
,
and
Melcomb
submit

Bidiford
,
Appleford

submitted
themselves
:

surrendred

and
after
a
little
dispute
before

thrown
in

taken
in

,
that

was
delivered

We
must
retrospect
a
little
,
lest
the
hurrying
of
the
War
carry
us
from
other
remarkables
.
The
Marquess
of
New-Castle
a
little
before
,
Fryday
Iune
30
,
obtained
a
victory
over
the
Lord
Fairfax
at
Adderton-Heath
,
where
he
routed
the
Parliamentarians
,
gained
their
five
pieces
of
Cannon
,
and
so
amazed
them
,
that
they
fled
to
Leeds
,
which
way
was
precluded
and
obstructed
;
then
to
Bradford
,
in
their
flight
whither
,
he
took
and
killed
two
thousand
,
while
Fairfax
hardly
escaped
to
Leeds
with
the
Convoy
of
one
Troop
of

hanged
;
and
two
of
them
suffered
accordingly
,
leaving
sad
and
mournful
Widows
behind
them
,
for
their
Loyalty
and
affection
to
their
Soveraign
.
The
Parliament
now
set
a
Fine
of
twenty
thousand
pounds
upon
Judge
Berkley
,
Iudge
Berkley
fined
,
voted
incapable
of
any
publike
trust
,
and
a
Prisoner
during
pleasure
.
The
King
resolves
to
gain
Glocester
.
who
had
been
a
long
time
Prisoner
for
encouraging
the
designe
of
Ship-money
;
he
is
likewise
voted
incapable
of
any
Office
or
Dignity
in
the
Commonwealth
,
and
to
remain
in
Prison
during
pleasure
.
By
the
King
it
was
concluded
to
set
upon
Glocester
,
being
the
only
considerable
place
that
held
out
for
the
Parliament
in
the
West
,
and
lay
very
inconvenient
,
hindering
the
intercourse
betwixt
Wales
and
the
West-Countries
.
In
order
whereunto
,
his
Majesty
on
the
tenth
of
August
came
from
Oxford
in
Person
before
it
with
a
Royal
Army
,
(
while
it
was
hardly
imaginable
where
the
Parliament
could
raise
another
Army
)
and
that
done
,
to
march
for
London
:
which
proved
a
Fatal
mistake
to
the
King
;
for
if
he
had
gone
directly
for
London
,
there
was
no
opposition
in
readiness
against
him
,
nor
any
place
to
stay
him
.
The
King
being
resolved
to
gain
Glocester
,
after
Prince
Rupert
had
summoned
it
at
a
distance
,
having
close
begirt
it
,
and
being
displeased
that
such
a
forlorn
City
should
stand
out
against
him
,
yet
desirous
to
gain
it
without
blood
and
loss
of
time
,
which
seemed
then
precious
in
his
Career
of
victory
,
sent
in
this
honourable
Summons
by
two
Heraulds
.
CHARLES
REX
.
The
Kings
Gratious
Summons
to
the
said
City
.
OVt
of
Our
tender
compassion
to
Our
City
of
Glocester
,
and
that
it
may
not
receive
any
prejudice
by
Our
Army
,
which
We
cannot
prevent
if
We
be
compelled
to
assault
it
;
We
are
therefore
personally
come
before
it
,
to
require
the
same
;
and
are
graciously
pleased
to
let
all
the
Inhabitants
of
,
and
all
other
persons
within
that
City
,
as
well
Souldiers
as
others
,
know
,
that
if
they
shall
immediately
submit
themselves
,
and
deliver
this
City
to
Vs
,
We
are
contented
freely
and
absolutely
to
pardon
every
one
of
them
without
exception
;
and
do
assure
them
on
the
Word
of
a
King
,
that
they
,
nor
any
of
them
,
shall
receive
the
least
damage
or
prejudice
by
Our
Army
in
their
persons
and
estates
,
but
that
We
will
appoint
such
a
Governour
,
and
a
moderate
Garrison
to
reside
there
,
as
shall
be
both
for
the
ease
and
security
of
that
City
,
and
the
whole
Country
.
But
if
they
shall
neglect
this
offer
of
Grace
and
Favour
,
and
compel
Vs
by
the
power
of
Our
Army
to
reduce
that
place
(
which
by
the
help
of
God
We
shall
easily
and
shortly
be
able
to
do
)
they
must
thank
themselves
for
all
the
calamities
and
miseries
which
shall
befall
them
.
To
this
Message
We
expect
a
clear
and
positive
answer
,
within
two
hours
after
the
publishing
hereof
;
and
by
these
presents
do
give
leave
to
any
persons
safely
to
repair
to
,
and
return
from
Vs
,
whom
that
City
shall
desire
to
employ
unto
Vs
in
that
business
.
And
We
do
require
all
the
Officers
and
Souldiers
of
Our
Army
quietly
to
suffer
them
to
pass
accordingly
.
To
this
Summons
an
Answer
was
returned
in
Writing
,
delivered
by
Major
Pudsey
,
and
a
Citizen
,
in
these
Words
.
WE
the
Inhabitants
,
Magistrates
,
Officers
,
and
Souldiers
,
within
this
Garrison
of
Glocester
,
Their
equivocal
Answer
.
unto
his
Majesties
gracious
Message
return
this
humble
Answer
:
That
we
do
keep
this
City
according
to
our
Oath
and
Allegiance
,
to
and
for
the
use
of
his
Majesty
,
and
his
Royal
Posterity
;
and
do
accordingly
conceive
our selves
wholly
bound
to
obey
the
Commands
of
his
Majesty
signified
by
both
Houses
of
Parliament
;
and
are
resolved
by
Gods
help
to
keep
this
City
accordingly
.
This
equivocal
strange
answer
the
King
received
without
any
passion
;
onely
wondered
at
their
confidence
,
saying
before
the
Messengers
that
brought
the
Answer
,
Waller
is
extinct
,
and
Essex
cannot
come
.
Upon
the
return
of
the
Messengers
,
Col.
Massey
the
Governour
fired
the
Suburbs
,
and
forceth
Prince
Rupert
to
retreat
.
Colonel
Massey
the
Governour
set
fire
on
the
Suburbs
,
whither
Prince
Rupert
was
advanced
,
but
was
driven
out
by
the
flame
.
The
same
night
the
Kings
Army
intrencht
on
two
sides
of
the
City
,
within
Musquet-●hot
of
the
Wall
,
under
shelter
of
some
Houses
which
the
Fire
had
not
catched
;
which
caused
the
Besieged
to
sally
out
upon
them
,
in
commanded
parties
of
an
hundred
and
fifty
Musqueteers
at
a
time
,
then
greater
parties
of
five
hundred
;
which
came
off
with
safety
,
and
did
some
execution
,
save
the
two
last
,
where
they
received
some
loss
by
misguidance
;
which
made
them
afterwards
cautious
how
they
ventured
out
,
having
but
a
few
men
in
the
Town
;
the
vanquishing
of
any
one
of
those
parties
,
being
like
to
run
the
City
into
extream
hazard
,
whose
whole
strength
remained
upon
the
Works
day
and
night
,
except
the
reserve
of
a
hundred
and
twenty
men
at
the
Main
Guard
.
The
King
was
loth
to
spill
bloud
,
The
King
undermines
Glocester
.
and
throw
away
the
lives
of
so
many
men
as
the
Storming
would
cost
,
if
he
should
prevail
;
and
therefore
fell
to
Undermining
,
and
shooting
out
of
Morters
and
Granadoes
into
the
City
;
which
the
City
answering
,
would
speedily
consume
their
Magazine
,
which
was
at
last
reduced
to
three
Barrels
of
powder
,
by
continual
shooting
of
their
Cannon
into
the
Leaguer
,
which
did
much
mischief
.
And
to
the
Mining
,
the
Governour
used
Countermines
;
both
parties
working
with
great
industry
,
while
the
King
thought
it
not
honourable
to
vouchsafe
to
send
them
another
Summons
:
And
they
held
out
in
hopes
of
a
sudden
and
potent
relief
;
which
came
soon
after
,
as
we
now
shall
relate
.
The
Parliament
was
in
great
perplexity
to
recruit
an
Army
so
much
wasted
,
The
Parliament
raise
the
Trained
Bands
.
and
therefore
since
they
could
not
raise
a
strength
abroad
;
were
resolved
to
make
use
of
the
Trained
Bands
:
Those
that
were
well-affected
to
the
Parliament
encouraged
each
other
to
the
work
;
though
by
wise
men
the
enterprise
was
despaired
on
.
For
the
General
,
Essex
,
was
eighty
miles
off
,
and
his
march
lay
through
those
Countries
which
were
already
harrased
by
the
Enemy
.
Sir
William
Waller
,
Waller
constituted
Major-Gen
.
of
Kent
,
Essex
,
Surrey
and
Hamp-shire
.
who
first
had
received
his
Commission
about
the
time
of
Edge-bill
●ight
,
and
had
been
defeated
as
we
mentioned
before
,
in
regard
of
his
vigilance
and
experience
,
though
he
failed
therein
,
was
intended
for
a
Reserve
to
Essex
in
this
Expedition
;
but
that
Ordinance
of
Parliament
for
him
took
no
sudden
effect
,
farther
than
the
constituting
of
him
Major-General
of
Kent
,
Surrey
,
Essex
,
and
Hampshire
.
On
the
twenty
fourth
of
August
,
Essex
Ren●●vouzed
on
Hounsloe-heath
,
lodged
at
Colebrook
.
P.
Rupert
with
a
party
of
Horse
i●deavours
to
impede
his
march
.
General
Essex
Rendevouzed
on
Hounsloe-heath
,
whither
he
was
accompanied
with
most
of
the
Members
of
the
Parliament
,
and
from
thence
marched
on
his
way
,
lodging
that
night
at
Colebrook
.
Upon
intelligence
of
this
Armies
advance
,
Prince
Rupert
with
the
greatest
part
of
the
Kings
Horse
drew
off
from
Gloucester
to
oppose
their
march
,
that
so
the
Siege
might
not
be
interrupted
.
Several
incounters
were
made
by
parties
before
,
who
mis-judged
the
whole
by
the
most
resolute
Troops
in
the
Van
,
who
were
spirited
with
Money
,
and
the
Cause
,
and
so
reported
it
;
so
that
the
King
fearing
a
powerful
enemy
from
without
,
and
an
obstinate
enemy
within
,
drew
off
in
the
very
nick
,
when
he
might
probably
have
been
possessed
of
it
by
delaying
his
remove
.
We
will
not
mention
other
encounters
,
T●e
fight
in
Stow
of
the
Would
.
than
that
which
happened
on
the
fourth
of
September
,
so
commonly
known
by
the
name
of
the
fight
at
Stow
in
the
Would
.
The
General
sent
Colonel
Harvey
with
his
Regiment
of
Horse
,
and
two
Regiments
of
Foot
,
to
advance
a
little
before
towards
the
right-hand
,
and
the
City-Regiments
upon
the
left
,
under
the
conduct
of
Lieutenant-General
Boyly
,
Adjutant
of
the
Foot
.
Prince
Rupert
having
notice
thereof
,
appear'd
with
about
three
thousand
Horse
drawn
up
on
the
Hills
,
facing
the
Parliaments
Forces
;
and
a
strong
party
(
which
speedily
executed
their
Errand
)
to
enclose
those
Forces
:
which
being
perceived
,
three
Regiments
advanced
to
Colonel
Herveys
rescue
,
and
thereupon
the
Kings
Forces
retreated
to
their
main
Body
.
Better
order
was
afterwards
taken
for
that
small
distance
from
Gloucester
by
Essex
;
Gen.
Essex
at
Presbury-hills
,
the
siege
of
Glocester
deserted
.
so
that
on
the
fifth
of
September
the
General
advanced
and
came
to
Presbury-hills
,
where
he
drew
up
his
whole
Army
in
view
of
the
City
of
Gloucester
,
and
discharged
four
pieces
of
great
Ordnance
,
to
give
them
notice
of
his
approach
.
Soon
after
which
,
he
saw
the
Kings
quarters
on
fire
;
for
immediately
he
deserted
the
siege
,
and
marched
away
all
night
,
hoping
to
take
better
advantages
than
the
surrender
of
the
Town
would
have
offorded
him
;
for
Essex
was
concluded
to
be
tired
.
The
Relief
being
come
,
as
before
is
said
,
the
Town
was
freed
,
with
much
rejoycing
both
of
the
Garrison
and
Army
;
the
City
extolling
and
praysing
the
General
for
his
timely
and
valorous
advance
,
and
he
extolling
their
courage
and
constancy
,
and
highly
applauding
the
Governour
for
his
skilful
defence
of
the
City
.
The
Generals
Reer-guard
stayed
on
the
top
of
Presbury-hill
,
by
reason
of
the
steepness
thereof
,
darkness
of
the
night
,
and
tempestuousness
of
the
weather
;
Gen.
Essex
at
Cheltenham
.
but
the
General
quartered
at
Cheltenham
:
though
during
his
March
,
the
Kings
Forces
skirmished
with
part
of
his
Army
,
and
divers
times
beat
up
his
quarters
while
he
staid
at
Cheltenham
,
which
was
two
days
.
It
was
hardly
thought
indeed
that
ever
he
could
have
been
able
to
have
effected
the
business
;
but
providence
pleasing
to
continue
our
troubles
,
which
either
by
the
taking
or
letting
alone
that
City
would
have
been
at
a
neer
Period
,
suffered
the
King
to
fail
in
the
height
of
his
hopes
and
expectations
.
Solemn
thanks
for
the
d●livery
of
Glocester
,
b●th
there
and
at
London
.
At
Glocester
solemn
thanks
were
rendered
to
God
for
this
great
deliverance
,
with
all
expressions
of
Joy
and
Triumph
;
and
notice
being
sent
to
London
,
the
like
was
done
there
,
especially
by
the
Women
,
whose
Husbands
were
many
of
them
Engaged
in
that
service
.
The
King
neer
Wilt-shire
.
The
King
continued-in
his
Quarters
upon
the
borders
of
Wilt-shire
,
with
a
resolution
to
fight
Essex
in
his
return
;
which
he
must
necessarily
do
,
for
recruits
and
refreshments
,
Essex
re●●●ves
Tewskbury
&
Glocester
.
having
suffered
many
discommodities
in
the
Expedition
.
He
departed
with
this
resolution
from
Tewksbury
,
which
Garrison
and
that
of
Glocester
he
had
provided
with
necessaries
,
〈…〉
Sir
N.
Crisp
,
and
Col.
Spencer
.
and
takes
Cyre●cester
.
to
Cheltenham
,
where
he
had
notice
that
a
party
of
the
Kings
Forces
were
quartered
at
Cyrencester
,
being
the
Regiments
of
Sir
Nicholas
Crisp
,
and
Colonel
Spencer
;
which
at
midnight
he
surprized
,
and
took
the
Town
,
where
he
found
forty
●oad
of
Victuals
,
which
mightily
heartned
his
Army
,
who
had
almost
been
famished
.
From
Cyrencester
in
leisurable
short
Marches
,
of
five
Miles
a
day
,
he
came
to
Cricklade
,
and
so
to
Swinden
,
intending
to
pass
to
Hungerford
.
But
when
the
Van
and
Body
of
his
Army
had
marched
almost
over
Auborn-Chase
,
a
Gallant
Body
of
the
Kings
Horse
,
Auborn-chase
f●●t
.
consisting
of
about
five
thousand
,
tell
upon
the
Rear
of
his
Army
;
which
being
soon
disordered
,
indeavoured
to
make
a
Retreat
to
their
Body
;
but
they
were
pursued
too
hastily
both
on
Rear
and
Flank
,
so
that
it
was
done
with
great
loss
and
confusion
.
Being
come
to
their
Body
,
they
faced
the
same
Horse
,
who
again
put
them
into
the
like
disorder
,
until
some
of
the
Van
coming
to
their
assistance
,
the
Kings
Horse
were
repelled
;
but
fresh
reserves
coming
on
,
The
Parliamentarians
wors●ed
.
stopt
the
fury
of
the
Parliaments
Foot
.
Two
gallant
and
brave
Charges
were
made
,
presently
one
after
another
,
and
the
Parliamentarians
driven
again
to
their
main
Body
;
at
which
time
Sir
Philip
Stapleton
,
who
had
the
Van
for
that
day
(
as
they
changed
it
for
reservation
every
day
)
came
purposely
back
and
drew
up
his
Regiment
to
succour
them
,
which
caused
the
Royallists
to
retire
;
and
so
the
night
parted
them
.
On
the
Kings
party
,
in
those
smart
charges
and
encounters
,
were
slain
a
French
Marquess
,
De
Vieu
ville
,
with
other
Officers
of
good
quality
,
Marq.
De
Vieu
ville
slain
.
whose
worth
appeared
highly
;
on
the
Parliament
side
were
slain
two
Captains
,
Middleton
and
Hacket
:
The
worst
fell
upon
Colonel
Sheffields
Regiment
of
Horse
,
which
was
utterly
broke
,
and
two
Standards
taken
,
and
very
many
men
killed

Essex
marcheth
from
Hungerford
to
Newberry
.
On
Thursday
the
19
of
September
,
from
his
quarters
at
Hungerford
,
the
Earl
of
Essex
marched
to
Newbery
,
and
upon
approach
to
the
Twon
,
saw
the
Kings
Forces
upon
an
hill
,
just
in
opposition
to
their
March
;
which
the
General
perceiving
,
himself
first
advanced
to
a
place
neer
the
Enemy
,
and
thence
commanded
Colonel
Barcleys
and
Colonel
Holborns
Brigades
to
charge
them
:

.
That
was
done
very
fiercely
,

Barcley
and

Holborn
charge
P.
Rupert
.
but
was
as
resolutely
recharged
by
Prince
Rupert
,
who
never
wanted
the
first
and
most
furious
brunts
.
This
place
of
advantage
was
contested
for
hotly
by
both
parties
,
till
both
Armies
being
ready
to
grapple
,
the
difference
of
ground
was
not
reckoned
on
;
and
the
Kings
Forces
departed
to
their
several
Posts
.
The
Battle
being
then
begun
,
Sir
Philip
Stapleton
advanced
with
his
Regiment
of
Horse
,
and
the
Generals
Life-guard
;
who
being
received
by
the
Earl
of
Carnarvan
,

of
Carnarvan
slain

he
briskly
Charged

,
and
pursuing

unhappily

in
the
head
of
his
Troops

A
Noble-man
certainly
of
as
great
spirit
and
affection
for
the
Kings
service
as
any
,
and
as
much
deservedly
lamented
by
them
;
and
to
whose
memory
more
publike
Honours
are
due
,
than
a
private
Interment
in
Iesus
Colledge
Oxford
.
)
The
Royallists
thus
desperately
Charging
,
were
soon
fallen
upon
the
Parliaments
Body
of
Horse
;
who
giving
close
Fire
upon
them
,
put
them
to
the
●out
,
and
made
Prince
Rupert
hastily
return
to
his
whole
Body
of
Horse
.
This
gave
opportunity
for
all
the
Parliaments
Horse
of
the
right
Wing
,
Prince
Rupert
worsted
.
in
which
were
the
Regiments
of
the
aforesaid
Sir
Phil.
Stapleton
,
Dolbeir
,
Ramsey
,
Harvey
,
and
Goodwin
,
with
the
General
's
,
to
draw
up
together
;
whom
the
Prince
most
resolutely
again
Charged
,
and
that
so
thoroughly
,
that
some
Regiments
were
so
mixed
together
,
that
they
knew
not
how
to
disengage
themselves
.
In
this
confusion
many
were
slain
on
both
sides
,
and
the
Parliamentarians
at
last
forced
to
the
Lanes
end
,
where
in
the
morning
they
entred
,
and
where
their
Foot
stood
,
in
very
great
disorder
.
Some
of
the
Royalists
Troops
pursued
them
into
the
Lane
,
but
being
roundly
saluted
by
the
Foot
,
came
back
with
some
loss
and
danger
.
In
those
Charges
were
wounded
Colonel
Dalbeir
,
Commissiary
Copley
,
Captain
Hammond
,
Captain
Pym
,
and
Captain
Fleetwood
.
The
left
Wing
of
the
Parliament
and
the
right
of
the
King
could
not
be
Engaged
but
in
small
parties
,
by
reason
of
Hedges
.
As
to
the
Fight
made
by
the
Infantry
,
't
was
so
divided
,
dispersed
and
discontinued
,
that
a
stable
fixt
account
cannot
be
given
of
it
further
than
in
parcels
.
The
Kings
Infantry
led
by
Lord
Ruthen
,
Earl
of
Brentford
.
The
Lord
Ruthen
a
Scotchman
,
lately
made
Earl
of
Brentford
,
an
expert
Souldier
,
was
here
the
Kings
General
,
who
warily
managed
the
Battel
:
on
the
other
side
,
under
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
Major-General
Skippon
commanded
principally
in
the
Foot-service
,
Major-General
Skippon
principal
Commander
of
the
Foot
under
Essex
.
which
he
prudently
and
couragiously
performed
;
preventing
the
King
,
which
was
Ruthens
design
,
either
to
seize
his
Artillery
,
or
to
fall
on
the
Rear
of
his
men
that
fought
on
the
Hill
,
or
gayning
that
Hill
behind
him
,
or
their
last
nights
quarter
.
Very
many
men
were
lost
in
this
dispute
;
the
Royalists
having
seized
on
some
of
the
Artillery
,
but
were
forced
to
desert
it
,
leaving
some
of
the
most
daring
of
their
Souldiers
behind
them
.
About
four
a
clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
all
the
whole
Army
of
Foot
was
engaged
in
the
Fight
;
which
had
proved
a
great
deal
more
bloody
,
if
night
had
not
drawn
on
;
when
the
Kings
Army
,
both
Horse
and
Foot
,
stood
in
good
order
on
the
further
side
of
the
Green
,
Both
Armies
divided
by
the
night
.
intending
in
the
morning
to
fall
on
the
Parliaments
Army
afresh
.
But
other
Counsels
prevailing
,
as
supposing
better
advantages
ought
to
be
made
in
their
March
home
,
they
suffered
them
the
next
morning
to
March
on
;
which
was
very
acceptable
to
men
who
had
endured
much
hardship
,
both
for
want
of
rest
and
dyet
.
In
pursuance
therefore
of
a
resolution
to
fall
upon
them
in
the
Lanes
,
next
day
Colonel
Hurry
,
one
of
both
sides
,
newly
revolted
to
the
King
,
with
a
commanded
Party
of
800
Musqueteers
,
and
a
body
of
Horse
,
was
sent
after
them
;
who
charging
furiously
in
those
narrow
passages
,
put
the
Rear
into
an
absolute
Rout
,
who
were
compelled
to
stop
the
pursuit
,
to
overthrow
their
Carriages
across
the
way
.
Being
thus
fled
to
their
main
body
,
who
were
drawn
up
in
Battalia
in
a
Heath
,
whither
they
were
still
hotly
followed
,
they
faced
about
,
and
gave
the
Royalists
such
a
welcome
,
that
they
stood
not
to
abide
it
,
but
made
all
the
haste
possibly
back
again
.
In
this
after-Skirmish
were
slain
on
both
sides
near
500
men
;
and
in
the
main
Battel
the
day
before
,
and
in
Auburn-chase
,
betwixt
five
and
six
thousand
;
the
greatest
loss
whereof
,
if
any
material
difference
,
fell
on
the
Parliaments
side
,
of
which
the
most
considerable
were
Colonel
Tucker
,
Col.
Tucker
on
the
Parl.
side
slain
.
and
two
Captains
,
Massey
and
Hunt
:
on
the
King
's
,
the
aforesaid
Earl
of
Carnarvan
,
the
Earl
of
Sunderland
,
and
Lord
Viscount
Falkland
;
On
the
K.
side
,
the
E.
of
Sunderland
,
and
Lord
Viscount
Faulkland
.
both
which
were
killed
near
the
Kings
person
;
(
which
was
here
very
much
endangered
by
shot
)
and
other
Colonels
and
Officers
;
both
Armies
with
great
valour
and
obstinacy
maintaining
their
ground
,
especially
the
London
Trained
Bands
and
Auxiliaries
,
against
whom
the
Royalists
had
the
greatest
spleen
,
and
therefore
tasted
of
their
resolution
.
This
Battel
was
fought
Wednesday
the
20
of
September
,
and
on
Thursday
in
the
evening
.
Essex
at
●eading
,
〈…〉
.
The
General
Essex
after
that
encounter
in
the
Lanes
,
drew
up
the
Army
of
Theal
,
and
taking
some
refreshment
there
,
Marched
the
next
morning
,
being
Friday
,
with
the
whole
Army
to
Reading
,
where
he
stayed
till
the
Sabbath
was
past
,
and
caused
publique
Thanks
to
be
given
for
his
victory
.
About
this
time
Sir
Nicholas
Crispe
,
Farmer
of
the
Kings
Customes
,
and
a
Commander
for
the
King
by
Land
,
and
afterward
by
Sea
,
commanding
a
Regiment
of
Horse
,
had
the
Convoy
of
the
Train
of
Artillery
from
Oxford
to
the
S●ege
of
Glocester
;
which
he
brought
safely
thither
,
and
quartered
at
a
Knights
house
in
Rouslidge
near
Glocester
,
where
he
findes
the
best
part
of
the
house
taken
up
by
Sir
Iames
Enyon
and
other
Gentlemen
of
no
Command
in
the
Army
.
These
Gentlemen
chanced
to
miss
some
of
their
Horses
out
of
their
Pastures
,
and
suspecting
the
Colonels
Souldiers
,
very
rashly
demand
satisfaction
of
the
Colonel
;
who
refusing
to
draw
forth
his
Souldiers
upon
Sir
Iames
his
pleasure
,
the
said
Knight
departs
,
and
sends
a
Gentleman
to
him
with
a
Challenge
,
A
d●●l
between
Sir
Nicholas
Crispe
and
Sir
James
Enyon
.
the
contents
of
which
was
,
That
he
should
meet
him
in
a
certain
adjoyning
Field
with
his
Sword
;
which
if
he
did
refuse
to
do
,
he
would
Pistol
him
against
the
Wall
.
Sir
Nicholas
accompanied
with
only
one
Friend
,
within
an
hour
goes
to
the
appointed
place
,
where
he
findes
Sir
Iames
and
the
Gentleman
that
brought
the
Challenge
,
and
desired
to
understand
of
Sir
Iames
the
ground
of
his
quarrel
with
him
;
adding
,
that
his
Command
in
the
Army
might
excuse
him
from
fighting
;
however
,
he
was
come
with
a
Christian
resolution
to
give
him
all
reasonable
satisfaction
for
what
injury
he
had
done
,
of
which
he
pro●essed
to
be
ignorant
.
Sir
Iames
replied
,
he
expected
justice
from
his
Sword
;
and
thereupon
drew
,
Sir
Nicholas
doing
the
like
:
the
encounter
followed
,
Sir
James
Enyon
kill'd
.
wherein
Sir
Iames
received
an
unfortunate
thrust
about
the
rim
of
his
belly
,
and
was
straightway
conveyed
to
the
aforesaid
house
,
and
within
two
days
died
.
On
Munday
the
2
of
October
following
,
a
Council
of
War
sat
upon
Sir
Nicholas
:
but
considering
the
provocations
that
were
given
him
in
his
own
quarters
,
Sir
Nicholas
Crispe
●rye●
by
a
Council
of
War
,
and
acquitted
.
they
thought
it
justice
to
acquit
him
from
any
punishment
in
that
Court
,
and
referred
him
to
the
King
,
who
being
informed
of
the
occasion
of
their
difference
,
Sir
Nicholas
was
admitted
to
kiss
his
Majesties
hand
,
He
kisseth
the
Kingshand
,
and
is
pardoned
.
and
received
his
Gracious
Pardon
under
the
Great
Seal
.
Pity
it
were
so
worthy
and
learned
a
Divine
as
Doctor
Featly
should
be
buried
in
Oblivion
,
Doctor
Featley
committed
to
prison
for
opposing
the
Covenant
.
though
by
the
Parliament
he
was
for
some
years
in
the
Lord
Peters
House
in
Aldersgate-street
London
,
for
opposing
the
strict
Rules
of
the
Covenant
:
he
was
formerly
Minister
at
Lambeth
,
but
his
Livings
were
given
away
,
and
his
Books
bestowed
on
Mr.
White
of
Dorchester
.
From
Reading
the
General
was
received
at
London
with
great
Triumph
;
the
Army
Marching
into
the
City
,
He
is
received
at
London
in
Triumph
.
and
were
welcomed
,
especially
the
Trained
Bands
,
by
their
Friends
,
and
met
by
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Aldermen
at
Temple-bar
;
The
King
at
Oxford
.
and
the
King
departed
to
take
up
his
Winter-quarters
about
Oxford
.
This
Expedition
,
though
not
so
successful
as
the
Parliament
voyced
it
,
yet
buoyed
them
up
in
their
reputation
,
which
was
before
very
low
;
so
that
soon
after
they
came
to
ballance
the
Kings
fortune
,
which
went
less
,
through
the
Confederation
of
the
Scots
,
who
were
then
in
preparation
,
according
to
the
agreement
and
Covenant
entred
into
here
,
to
enter
this
Kingdom
in
assistance
of
the
Parliament
.
The
King
sensible
of
this
,
and
for
practising
whereof
,
or
at
least
intelligence
with
the
main
Agitators
therein
,
The
K.
committeth
Ma.
Hamilton
to
Pendennis
-
Castle
.
he
in
Ianuary
sent
the
Marquess
Hamilton
Prisoner
to
Pendennis-Castle
,
who
had
all
along
assured
him
to
the
contrary
.
And
being
daily
sollicited
by
the
pressing
miseries
of
his
Irish
Subjects
,
who
were
not
able
to
subsist
longer
under
them
,
to
procure
them
some
rest
and
respit
from
the
violence
of
that
Rebellion
,
as
also
the
better
to
withdraw
his
Protestant
Army
out
of
that
Kingdom
to
his
own
assistance
here
against
the
Invasion
of
the
Scots
,
by
the
Marquess
of
Ormond
,
his
Lieutenant
there
,
concluded
a
Cessation
for
a
year
with
those
Rebels
,
A
Cessation
for
a
year
in
Ireland
.
and
then
gave
order
that
3000
of
his
English
Army
should
be
Embarqued
;
which
soon
after
,
in
November
,
landed
in
Wales
,
under
the
Command
of
Sir
Michael
Earnely
,
a
Wilt-shire
Gentleman
,
slain
in
the
second
Newbery
Battel
,
and
Colonel
Monk
(
after
,
the
most
renowned
General
,
Duke
of
Albemarl
)
which
being
afterwards
divided
to
make
up
several
broken
Regiments
,
by
Prince
Rupert
,
were
rendred
not
so
serviceable
,
by
reason
of
the
change
of
Officers
,
and
parting
with
their
old
Comrades
,
as
they
might
have
been
,
had
they
continued
in
a
Body
together
,
being
most
of
them
veterane
and
well-experienced
Souldiers
.
The
greatest
part
of
those
Forces
besieging
Nantwich
in
Cheshire
,
Col.
Monk
surprized
at
Nantwich
,
and
imprisoned
in
the
Tower
of
London
.
were
surprized
,
after
a
sudden
and
stout
resistance
made
,
by
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
,
who
was
sent
thither
with
all
speed
to
keep
them
from
taking
head
in
those
Counties
.
Among
the
Prisoners
was
this
Colonel
Monk
,
who
was
sent
up
to
the
Tower
of
London
,
where
he
continued
a
Prisoner
in
very
hard
durance
,
till
the
War
was
near
expired
;
and
then
took
a
Commission
for
Ireland
;
from
which
auspicious
employment
have
sprung
all
his
Heroick
most
glorious
Actions
towards
the
King
and
Kingdom
.
But
to
give
a
more
particular
account
of
the
War
,
which
was
parcelled
out
into
all
the
Corners
of
the
Kingdom
,
we
must
insert
here
other
actions
of
the
noble
Marquess

and
those
Forces

the

upon
her
advance
Southward
to
Newark
.
The
hot
news
whereof
alarmed
the
Members
at
Westminster
,
most
of
the
Northern
parts
being
already
reduced
for
the
King
,
and
these
considerable
places
since
the
Battel
at
Adderton-Heath
(
gained
chiefly
by
the
valour
of
Sir
Henry
Howard
,
and
Sir
Savile

both
lost

were

had
lately

And
here
I
must
not
omit
the
death
of

most
eminent

person

upon
account
of
this
unfortunate
Garrison

brought
him
hither
;
whence
for
better
security
of
his
person
,
which
was
of
great
concernment
to
the
Kings
affairs
thereabout
,
they
resolved
to
send
him
to
Hull
.
In
the
way
thither
,
Colonel
Cavendish
,
brother
to
the
Earl
of
Devon-shire
,
with
a
party
pursued
the
Pinnace
to
a
shallow
,
which
she
could
not
pass
;
and
demanded
her
,
and
the
Earls
surrender
:
which
being
refused
,
a
Drake
was
discharged
,
which
unhappily
killed
the
said
Earl
,
and
one
of
his
servants
,
being
placed
on
purpose
on
the
Deck
to
deter
the
Royalists
from
shooting
:
whereupon
they
presently
struck
Sail
and
yeilded
;
but
with
a
just
revenge
,
were
all
sacrificed
to
the
Ghost
of
that
most
Loyal
and
Noble
Peer
.
Notice
of
this
party
and
their
design
being
given
to
the
Garrison
,
a
sufficient
number
under
Colonel
White
a
Lincoln-shire
Gentleman
were
hastned
to
relieve
the
Boat
,
or
recover
it
if
taken
,
who
accordingly
encountred
with
the
Royalists
,
and
being
too
many
for
them
,
this
right
valiant
Personage
was
forced
to
take
the
Trent
with
his
Horse
,
which
swam
him
safe
to
the
other
side
,
but
there
stuck
in
the
owze
and
mud
;
and
as
soon
as
the
Colonel
had
got
ashore
off
his
Horse-back
,
the
Enemy
was
come
round
by
Ford
,
and
seeing
him
desperately
wounded
,
offered
him
quarter
;
which
he
magnanimously
refusing
,
and
throwing
his
Blood
he
wip't
off
his
Face
among
them
,
was
killed
outright
upon
the
place
.
To
return
:
the
Earl
of
Manchester
with
his
Horse
approaching
these
parts
,
and
this
particular
place
,
most
part
of
the
Earl
of
Newcastles
Army
,
then
quartering
thereabouts
,
advanced
to
meet
him
;
but
the
Associate
Horse
were
so
well
disciplined
,
and
such
chosen
able
men
,
that
after
a
very
sharp
and
sore
conflict
near
Horn-Castle
in
Lincoln-shire
,
Horn-castle
fight
.
the
Royalists
were
forced
to
flye
,
having
sustained
a
great
loss
,
viz.
30
Colours
(
the
Parliamentarians
said
35
)
taken
,
400
slain
,
the
chief
of
whom
were
Sir

with
other

Officers
;
1000
Horse
taken
,
and
as
many
Arms
,
and
800
Prisoners
.
After
this
Victory
the
Earl
of
Manchester
marched
to
Lincoln
,
and
beleaguered
it
round
,
and
summoned
it
;
which
the
Towns-men
slighted
:
hereupon
a
storm
was
resolved
on
,
after
a
weeks
patience
,
and
expectation
of
a
surrender
;
and
on
the
20th
of
October
put
in
execution
just
at
day-break
all
round
the
City
,
which
was
speedily
entred
by
Manchester's
Regiment
of
Foot
,
Lincoln
City
and
Minster
stormed
and
taken
.
who
slew
all
they
found
in
Arms
,
and
most
cruelly
plundred
the
Town
,
leaving
it
not
worth
a
farthing
.
The
Minster
and
Close
were
surrendred
after
a
little
resistance
upon
quarter
onely
,
and
2500
Arms
taken
therein
;
Sir
Iohn
Meldrum

.
and
presently
Gainsborough
was
quitted
and
deserted
by
the
Royalists
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Meldrum
possest
it
●or
the
Parliament
,
as
not
long
after
my
Lord
Willoughby
of
Parham
took
in
Bullingbrook-Castle
.
Ld.
Willoughby

Castle

These
successes
in
those
parts
,
the
Parliamentarians
making
opposition
afresh
in
York-shire
,
assisted
by
the
Mancashire-Forces
,
under
Colonel
Rigby
and
Suttleworth
,
and
who
had
fortified
Lanchester
and
other
places
in
the
County
(
which
was
generally
for
the
Parliament
,
as
to
the
vulgar
,
in
hatred
of
the
Roman
Catholick
Gentry
,
with
which
it
abounded
)
caused
the
King
to
send
away
Sir
Lewis
Dives
and
Colonel
Hurrey
with
a
party
of
two
or
three
thousand
Horse
into
Bedford-shire
,
The
King
sends
Sir
Lewis
Dives
into
the
Associated
Counties
.
and
so
to
make
an
eruption
into
the
Associated
Counties
,
thereby
to
divert
Manchesters
further
Progress
,
who
was
now
with
Cromwel
and
Sir
Iohn
Meldrum
set
down
before
Newark
,
but
upon
this
invasion
was
presenty
recalled
;
for
the
danger
was
judged
very
great
at
London
,
which
instantly
took
an
Alarm
;
and
by
Essex's
order
the
Hartford-shire-Trained
Bands
were
presently
raised
to
oppose
this
unexpected
enemy
.
Sir
Lewis
came
first
to
Ampthill
,
thence
to
Bedford
;
where
he
entred
,
and
took
Sir
Iohn
Norris
and
some
other
Officers
,
He
takes
Sir
Iohn
Norris
:
Affrights
Hartford-shire
and
Bedfordshire
,
and
returns
.
who
would
have
encouraged
the
Towns-men
to
a
resistance
,
but
they
fared
the
better
for
their
compliance
,
whether
out
of
their
Loyalty
or
discretion
,
I
will
not
say
.
Thence
this
flying
party
came
to
Sir
Samuel
Lukes
house
,
and
served
that
as
Sir
Lewis
was
served
before
in
the
same
County
by
the
Sequestrators
;
Sir
Lewis
Dives
,
Sir
Rob.
Heath
,
Iustice
Forster
,
Sir
John
Banks
,
and
Serjeant
Glanvile
,
voted
Traytors
.
and
so
proceeded
as
far
as
to
face
Hitching
in
Hartford-shire
;
and
having
soundly
frighted
those
parts
,
informed
of
Manchesters
return
,
they
speeded
back
again
to
Oxford
.
The
Members
at
Westminster
were
so
vexed
with
this
incursion
,
that
they
voted
Sir
Lewis
Dives
a
Traytor
,
for
levying
War
against
the
Parliament
;
as
they
had
voted
the
Judges
Sir
Robert
Heath
,
Justice
Forster
,
Sir
Iohn
Banks
,
and
Serjeant
Glanvile
,
who
declared
and
affirmed
at
Salisbury
,
in
the
Circuit
,
the
several
Treasons
of
Essex
,
Manchester
,
and
other
superior
Officers
of
their
Army
,
to
be
guilty
of
the
same
Crime
charged
upon
them
;
which
was
the
recriminative
temper
of
those
times
:
And
those
persons
that
were
threatned
with
the
Curse
of
the
Law
,
were
animated
in
their
Disloyal
service
by
the
thanks
of
the
House
.
The
Kentish
Insurrection
in
behalf
of
the
K.
There
had
been
a
dangerous
Insurrection
in
Iuly
this
year
in
Kent
,
about
the
heart
of
that
County
towards
Sevenoke
,
but
quasht
by
the
early
prevention
of
Major-General
Brown
(
just
as
they
were
seizing
most
of
the
Parliement-affected
Gentry
having
already
Sir
Thomas
Walsingham
a
member
of
the
House
in
custody
)
who
was
sent
with
two
London-R●giments
to
suppress
them
:
A
small
skirmish
or
two
happened
,
but
not
worth
notice
:
for
he
had
no
Commission
to
fight
;
it
sufficed
him
to
keep
them
from
joyning
with
more
of
that
Malecon●ent
party
,
and
driving
them
further
towards
Canterbury
,
whence
by
the
care
and
diligence
of
the
Committees
,
a
party
of
their
own
Country-men
came
and
reduced
them
at
Feversham
,
with
some
little
Execution
.
Several
persons
either
fled
or
suffered
for
this
R●sing
;
but
the
greatest
damage
fell
upon
Sir
Edward
Hales
,
who
was
accused
of
promoting
it
;
as
the
like
Loyal
principle
had
in
the
beginning
of
the
War
endangered
the
Estate
of
Sir
Edward
Dering
,
a
person
formerly
very
eminent
in
the
House
for
his
defence
and
assertion
of
Episcopacy
.
These
tendencies
and
offers
of
these
Kentish-men
towards
their
duty
,
invited
the
King
at
some
of
their
own
instances
also
to
send
my
Lord
Hopton
thitherward
,
Lord
Hopton
marcheth
into
Kent
.
as
he
had
done
Sir
Lewis
Dives
into
Bedford-shire
,
to
make
a
new
diversion
;
and
the
Parliament
to
obviate
such
proceedings
,
though
in
the
depth
of
Winter
,
Essex
and
Waller
recruited
.
dispatcht
away
both
Essex
and
Waller
with
recruited
Armies
to
their
several
charges
.
Wallers
Forces
consisted
chiefly
of
Volunteers
which
lifted
themselves
in
the
new
Artillery-ground
London
,
where
he
was
greatly
beloved
and
favoured
,
presently
after
his
defeat
at
Roundway
.
Essex
marched
by
the
way
of
St.
Albans
(
where
Colonel
Fiennes
the
late
Governour
of
Bristol
was
Condemned
and
Sentenced
by
a
Council
of
War
for
cowardize
in
delivering
it
in

)
and
so
to

which
had
first
been
Garrisoned
by
Prince
Rupert
,
and
was
of
great
convenience
and
accommodation
to
the
intelligence
and
commerce
(
besides
hindrance
,
Newport-pagnal
abandoned
.
dividing
and
distracting
of
the
enemy
)
between
London
and
Oxford
,
the
chief
Garrison
for
the
King
,
but
now
presen●ly
abandoned
upon
his
approach
;
Walter
apprinted
to
attend
Hopton
.
and
so
to
Tositer
and
Northampton
;
Waller
to
Farnham
and
those
parts
,
to
attend
the
motion
of
the
Lord
H●pton
,
who
had
faced
Petworth
,
and
entred
Midhurst
,
and
at
last
was
clapt
down
before
Aundel-castle
,
the
extremest
parts
of
Sussex
;
whose
shore
before
we
leave
,
Isle
of
Jersey
delivered
to
Sir
John
Pennington
.
we
must
conjoyn
a
short
account
of
the
Isle
of
Iersey
,
which
by
Sir
Peter
Osburn
was
now
delivered
to
Sir
Iohn
Pennington
,
still
Vice-Admiral
for
the
King
in
the
narrow
Seas
;
in
exchange
of
which
good
fortune
,
the
Garrison
of
Pool
had
received
a
very
great
success
,
in
an
Expedition
into
the
Country
,
and
the
Earl
of
Warwick
had
joyned
at
Warcham
with
Col.
Earl
upon
a
designe
against
C●rf-castle
,
but
that
succeeded
not
.
Monsieur
le
Prince
de
Harcourt
came
hither
a
while
before
,
The
French
Ambassador
splendidly
received
at
Oxford
.
as
Ambassador
Extraordinary
,
to
offer
the
French
Kings
interposition
and
arbitrement
of
the
differences
between
King
and
Parliament
;
and
was
convoyed
and
splendidly
received
at
Oxford
;
but
his
Coach
and
Pacquet
searched
as
he
passed
the
London-Fortifications
;
which
he
highly
complained
of
to
the
Parliament
,
who
to
evade
his
Peace-making
errand
,
would
not
own
him
as
an
Ambassador
Extraordinary
.
He
was
followed
upon
the
same
account
to
Oxford
,
whence
he
went
and
came
twice
,
with
a
Duch
Ambassador
;
but
all
to
no
purpose
:
For
the
Parliament
had
now
two
fresh
Armies
asoot
raised
by
the
City
,
and
a
third
(
the
Scots
)
now
upon
their
march
,
though
a
little
before
they
earnestly
be●ought
an
Accommodation
.
It
is
time
here
to
remember
other
memorable
things
which
happened
a
little
before
;
Sir
John
Hothams
revolt
and
seizure
.
the
first
was
that
of
the
two
Hothams
,
Sir
Iohn
and
his
Son
;
these
persons
eminent
(
more
especially
the
Father
)
for
adherence
to
the
Parliament
,
having
first
of
all
men
denied
the
King
admittance
into
his
Towns
and
Magazines
,
by
putting
themselves
into
Hull
,
and
keeping
it
by
vertue
of
a
power
from
the
Lords
and
Commons
,
now
either
touched
in
conscience
for
the
unlawfulness
and
the
undutifulness
of
that
action
,
or
else
not
so
highly
regarded
and
considered
,
as
that
important
and
leading
piece
of
service
might
justly
challenge
from
the
Parliament
,
the
Queen
being
also
newly
arrived
in
those
parts
,
who
probably
might
have
dealt
with
Sir
Iohn
in
the
matter
,
he
began
to
falter
from
that
firmness
he
had
professed
for
the
Parliament
,
which
being
guessed
at
by
some
strict
observers
of
him
,
he
not
being
reserved
enough
in
a
thing
of
that
consequence
,
a
party
was
made
against
him
in
his
own
Garrison
;
and
he
too
late
endeavouring
to
have
secured
Hull
for
the
King
,
was
in
the
bustle
knockt
down
in
the
streets
,
secured
with
his
Son
,
He
and
his
Son
sent
Prisoners
to
the
Tower
.
and
both
sent
up
prisoners
to
the
Tower
,
whence
not
long
after
they
were
brought
to
tryal
and
execution
.
At
the
same
time
also
returned
Sir
Hugh
Cholmly
,
a
Member
likewise
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
who
had
secured
Scarborough
for
them
,
which
(
as
before
)
was
afterwards
put
into
the
Kings
hands
by
Brown
Bushel
.
The
other
thing
remarkable
was
the
death
of
Mr.
Iohn
Pym
,
the
great
stickler
against
the
King
and
his
Prerogative
,
Mr.
Pym
dyes
.
the
Speech-maker
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
that
could
wiredraw
money
with
every
word
he
uttered
to
the
City
.
He
died
when
the
Kingdom
was
in
a
flame
,
which
he
had
chiefly
blown
up
,
not
likely
to
be
extinguished
.
Nothing
is
reported
of
his
end
certainly
;
and
though
there
was
a
fable
of
his
body
being
full
of
Lice
,
sure
we
may
be
,
it
was
full
of
worms
afterward
;
and
let
judgment
be
left
to
God
,
whether
he
engaged
in
the
Times
and
Quarrel
,
out
of
a
misguided
or
a
reclaiming
Conscience
.
A
new
great
Seal
,
The
King
declares
it
treason
,
sends
a
Messenger
to
adjourn
the
Term
:
Insert
we
here
also
,
as
matters
of
State
,
not
War
,
that
upon
the
carrying
the
Great
Seal
to
Oxford
by
the
Lord
Keeper
Littleton
,
a
new
great
Seal
was
made
by
the
Parliament
,
which
the
King
declared
to
be
treasonable
;
and
soon
after
sent
a
Messenger
to
London
,
one
Daniel
Kniveton
,
to
forbid
the
holding
of
the
Term
by
any
colour
of
the
said
Seal
;
and
did
therewith
adjourn
the
said
Term
:
but
the
Parliament
were
so
far
from
giving
heed
to
that
Message
of
the
Kings
,
which
was
according
to
his
duty
delivered
to
the
Judges
in
Westminster
hall
by
the
said
Kniveton
,
He
is
condemned
for
a
spy
,
and
hanged
.
that
by
a
Council
of
War
held
at
Essex-House
they
sentenced
him
to
be
hanged
for
a
Spy
;
which
was
accordingly
executed
upon
him
at
the
old
Exchange
,
London
,
on
27
November
.
Add
we
also
,
that
in
February
the
King
convened
the
Members
of
both
Houses
who
had
deserted
them
at
Westminster
,
as
a
Parliament
in
Oxford
.
The
Parliament
at
Oxford
.
They
met
in
the
Schools
accordingly
,
and
proceeded
to
several
Consultations
;
but
within
a
year
totally
disappeared
.
To
conclude
this
year
with
Military
affairs
;
in
Ianuary
the
Scotch
Forces
according
to
compact
entred
England
with
a
well-accomplisht
Army
,
The
Scots
enter
England
.
Divers
places
surrendred
on
both
sides
.
and
in
February
cross'd
Tine
.
And
to
sum
up
the
rendition
of
places
on
both
sides
,
take
this
account
:
Scarborough
,
Brimingham
,
Litchfield
,
Howley-house
,
Burton
upon
Howarden-Castle
,
Arundel-Castle
,
taken
by
the
Lord
Hopton
;
Beeston-Castle
,
Lapley-House
,

,
Hopton-Castle
,
Warder-Castle
,
regained
;
Sturton-Castle
,
and
Newark
relieved
for
the
King
,
Prince
Rupert
relieves
Newark
,
and
overcomes
Sir
John
Meldrum
.
where
Prince
Rupert
gained
a
compleat
victory
against
Sir
Iohn
Meldrum
,
who
commanded
there
with
7000
men
against
the
Town
;
The
Parliamentarians
were
beaten
from
their
entrenchments
,
into
a
House
called
the
Spittle
,
or
Exeter-House
,
where
they
came
to
a
surrender
upon
capitulation
,
leaving
their
Arms
,
and
Bag
and
Bagage
behind
them
,
and
a
thousand
men
slain
on
their
side
;
Reading
,
Wardour-Castle
,
Monmouth
,
Taunton
,
and
Bridge-Water
,
Tamworth-Castle
,
Burley-House
,
Glocester
relieved
,
Lyn
yeilded
to
the
Earl
of
Manchester
,
Grafton-House
,
and
Arundel-House
taken
by
Sir
William
Waller
again
,
being
again
recruited
with
a
fresh
Army
,
and
a
new
Commission
given
him
to
be
a
Major-General
of
the
four
Counties
of
Kent
,
Surry
,
Sussex
,
and
Hamp-shire
;
which
leads
this
Chronicle
next
to
some
remarkable
actions
of
his
(
which
were
much
in
expectation
)
in
the
ensuing
year
.
Anno
Dom.
1644.
SIr
William
Waller
,
after
his
reducement
of
Arundel-Castle
,
Marched
to
find
out
the
Lord
Hopton
,
Brandon
or
Cheriton-down
fight
,
between
Sir
Wil.
Waller
and
the
Lord
Hopton
,
March
29.
to
cry
quits
with
him
for
his
defeat
at
Roundway-Down
.
Both
Armies
were
near
one
another
a
good
space
:
for
his
Lordship
hovered
about
Winchester
,
and
those
parts
;
and
at
Brandon-Heath
near
Alsford
,
was
drawn
up
(
having
a
little
before
in
his
intended
March
to
the
relief
of
Arundel
beaten
Colonel
Norton
into
Chichester
,
who
endeavoured
to
impede
him
)
and
stood
ready
to
receive
Sir
William
,
who
had
taken
the
advantage
of
a
Hill
,
from
which
the
Royalists
with
fury
beat
him

drove

to
another

shelter

Bushes

so
galled

Kings
Horse
,
The
Kings
party
worsted
.
that
they
were
forced
in
some
disorder
to
retreat
to
their
Foot
.
There
was
a
hollow
betwixt
both
bodies
,
which
each
endeavouring
to
gain
,
many
men
found
it
for
their
Graves
on
both
sides
.
The
Lord

seeing
the
slaughter
that
was
made

their
Armies
together
,
amounting
to
a
very
great
strength
,
with
intention
to
set
upon

wherefore
the
Queen
was
sent

actions
all
along
after
declared
,
especially
his
latter
,
in
his
Industrious
Loyal
endeavours
for
the
Restitution
of
his
Majesty
,
was
no
inconsiderable
part
of
the
War
,
having
been
designed
by
the
Parliament
to
the
suppression
of
the
Kentish-Commotions
,
and
then
as
an
assistant
to
Sir
William

taking
in
of
Winchester

the
War
was
ended
,
and
the
King
brought
to
Holmby
,
made
one
of
the
Commissioners
to
attend
his
Majesty
;
where
he
was
so
gained
upon
by
his
Princely
Goodness
and
Vertues
,
that
from
that
time
he
was
wholly
changed

sent
a

,
and

into
the
West
.
and
reduced
from
all
false
Opinions
concerning
his
Majesty
,
and
afterwards
proved
a
most
Cordial
and
Loyal
actor
and
sufferer
for
him
and
his
Cause
.
To
return
:
the
King
in
the
mean
while
marched
with
his
Army
from
Oxford
to
Worcester
;
which
caused
the
two
Parliament-Generals
to
divide
their
forces
again
:
Waller
was
to
go
after
the
King
,
as
they
termed
it
,

King-catching
,
while
Essex
marched
with
another
gallant
Army
into
the
West
,
which
was
totally
fallen
from
the
Parliament
.
The
King
had
but
few
Forces
about
him
,
by
reason
that
Prince
Rupert
was
sent
with
the
greatest
part
of
the
Army
to
the
relief
of
York
,

,
and

but
of
that
by
and
by
.
The
King
having
Traversed
his
ground
,
came
back
again
from
Worcester
;
and
Sir
William
Waller
from
out
of
the
Skirts
of
Glocester-shire
,
was
ready
at
his
heels
:
Insomuch
that
he
overtook
him
neer
Banbury
,
Corpredy
-
fight
.
at
a
place
called
Cropredy-bridge
.
Waller
drew
up
in
Battalia
on
a
Hill
,
expecting
the
advantage
of
the
Kings
passing
the
Bridge
:
which
the
King
adventuring
to
do
,
Waller
sets
upon
the
K.
is
gallantry
received
by
the
Earls
of
Cleaveland
&
Northampton
,
and
put
to
flight
.
Waller
descends
from
his
Post
,
and
falls
upon
the
Kings
Rear
beyond
the
Bridge
,
where
he
was
so
gallantly
received
by
the
Earls
of
Cleaveland
and
Northampton
,
that
he
was
quite
Routed
,
Six
hundred
killed
,
and
Seven
hundred
taken
Prisoners
,
his
Train
of
Artillery
,
and
many
of
the
Officers
;
so
that
Sir
William
was
forced
to
flie
,
and
have
recourse
to
London
for
another
recruit
.
It
was
therefore
resolved
,
upon
this
defeat
of
Waller
,
that
the
King
should
immediately
follow
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
who
was
advanced
so
far
,
that
the
Queen
,
who
was
delivered
of
the
Princess
Henrietta
at
Exeter
the
sixteenth
of
Iune
,
The
Princess
Henrietta
born
at
Exeter
,
the
Queen
goes
to
France
.
in
the
Month
of
Iuly
was
fain
to
be
gone
from
thence
for
fear
of
a
Siege
(
leaving
the
young
Lady
to
the
tuition
of
the
Countess
of
Dalkeith
)
to
France
,
where
she
landed
on
the
25th
at
Brest
in
Britany
.
At
the
beginning
of
August
,
the
King
had
overtaken
the
said
Earl
at
Lestithiel
;
The
E.
of
Essex
defeated
at
Lestithiel
.
his
Forces
in
so
ill
a
condition
through
their
long
march
,
and
their
want
of
necessaries
,
which
the
Country-people
kept
from
them
,
that
it
was
concluded
an
easie
thing
to
conquer
them
:
The
King
therefore
resolved
to
coop
them
up
,
and
keep
all
manner
of
Provision
from
them
.
After
two
or
three
days
leaguer
in
this
manner
,
the
Parliament-horse
broke
through
the
Kings
Army
by
night
;
the
General
,
and
the
Lord
Roberts
,
at
whose
instance
this
Expedition
was
undertaken
,
got
by
boat
from
Foy
to
Plymouth
;
and
the
Foot
being
destitute
,
and
deserted
by
the
Horse
,
under
the
command
of
Major-General
Skippon
,
came
to
a
Capitulation
;
by
which
it
was
agreed
,
they
should
render
their
Arms
,
Ammunition
,
Artillery
,
and
Stores
,
into
the
hands
of
the
King
,
and
have
liberty
(
as
many
as
would
)
to
pass
home
;
they
engaging
never
more
to
bear
Arms
against
the
King
.
So
that
by
this
defeat
the
Parliament
were
quite
undone
in
the
West
,
as
to
present
appearance
.
Marq.
of
Newcastle
Besieged
in
York
by
the
E.
of
Manchester
,
Lord
Fairfax
,
and
Lesly
.
The
Marquess
of
Newcastle
had
been
besieged
above
nine
weeks
in
York
,
by
the
joynt
Forces
of
the
Earl
of
Manchester
,
the
Lord
Fairfax
,
and
the
Scotch
Army
under
Lesly
;
for
the
relief
whereof
,
Prince
Rupert
was
sent
;
who
passed
through
Shrop-shire
,
and
thence
through
Lancashire
,
increasing
his
Forces
by
the
way
from
the
several
Garrisons
and
Parties
thereabouts
.
In
his
way
he
raised
the
Siege
of
Latham-house
,
where
the
Countess
of
Derby
had
stoutly
defended
her self
for
a
long
time
:
Prince
Rupert
raiseth
the
Siege
of
Latham
-
house
,
&
takes
divers
places
.
He
moreover
took
Stopford
,
Leverpool
,
and
Bolton
;
the
last
whereof
refusing
his
Summons
,
and
being
in
no
condition
to
withstand
his
power
,
he
deservedly
(
having
mastered
it
by
a
Storm
the
third
time
)
pillaged
,
using
the
right
of
Arms
to
those
who
had
provoked
him
by
their
impotent
obstinacy
.
Besides
,
it
was
noted
for
a
Town
of
Sectaries
,
and
such-like
people
.
On
Sunday
the
last
day
of
Iune
,
the
Prince
came
to
Knaresborough
,
fourteen
miles
from
York
;
the
next
morning
over
Burrough-Bridge
,
and
that
night
by
the
River
to
York
;
The
Siege
of
York
ra●●d
.
upon
whose
approach
the
besiegers
quit
their
quarters
,
and
those
in
York
pursued
their
Rear
,
and
seized
some
Provisions
:
the
next
morning
,
Iuly
the
second
,
the
Prince
advanced
after
them
,
resolving
to
give
them
Battel
:
which
resolution
was
opposed
by
the
Marquess
of
Newcastle
,
as
one
who
well
knew
the
several
concerns
of
the
three
confederate
parties
,
among
whom
there
had
passed
some
Jarrings
in
their
Councels
for
Command
.
But
the
Prince
was
determined
to
put
an
end
to
the
Scotch
danger
,
(
which
onely
retarded
the
Kings
entire
success
)
by
a
present
fight
;
and
though
he
be
much
blamed
for
it
,
yet
it
seems
and
appears
he
had
the
Kings
express
command
to
fight
that
Army
with
all
convenient
speed
and
advantage
.
Accordingly
it
was
his
intention
to
fight
them
that
morning
,
or
at
least
by
noon
;
marching
in
view
of
them
on
the
plain
called
Marston-Moor
:
Marston-Moor
fight
.
But
it
proved
seven
at
night
before
both
Armies
Engaged
.
The
Parliamentarians
had
taken
the
advantage
of
a
Corn-hill
,
on
the
South-side
of
Marston-Moor
,
four
miles
from
York
;
Prince
Rupert
commands
the
Main
Battel
,
Marq.
of
Newcastle
one
Wing
;
General
Goring
,
Sir
Charles
Lucas
and
Major-General
Porter
several
parties
.
so
that
the
Prince
accepted
of
what
fighting
ground
they
had
left
him
.
His
Army
was
divided
into
Wings
,
whereof
the
Marquess
of
Newcastle
commanded
one
,
the
Prince
the
main
Battel
;
though
he
charged
in
the
left
Wing
,
where
was
General
Goring
,
Sir
Charles
Lucas
,
and
Major-General
Porter
,
Son
to
Mr.
Endymion
Porter
of
the
Bed-Chamber
.
Being
thus
resolved
,
and
drawn
in
Battalia
,
ready
to
charge
and
begin
the
Encounter
,
it
was
resolved
upon
the
signal
,
that
the
Princes
left
Wing
should
commence
the
Battel
;
whither
some
new
Reserves
were
brought
to
enforce
and
assist
them
.
The
right
Wing
of
the
Parliamentarians
Horse
,
The
Parliaments
Horse
&
Scotch
Cavalry
routed
.
which
consisted
of
the
L.
Fair-fax's
Troops
in
the
Van
,
and
of
the
Scotch
Cavalry
in
the
Rear
,
(
against
which
the
Prince
had
a
more
peculiar
indignation
)
was
at
the
first
Onset
of
the
Kings
left
Wing
of
Horse
,
(
commanded
as
aforesaid
)
put
to
Total
rout
;
the
Royalists
following
them
in
the
pursuit
so
far
,
(
as
it
was
their
unhappy
custom
)
that
thereby
they
became
the
overthrow
of
their
own
Army
.
The
Scots
some
of
them
ran
ten
miles
an
end
,
and
a
wey
bit
,
crying
out

,
with
other
lamentable
Expressions
of
Fear

stood
dubious

,
where
the

of

●●●ions
we
should
have
spoken
before
,

have
mentioned
how
he
first
secured
those
Counties
for
the
Parliament
,
purging
,
that
is
to
say
,
extinguishing
the
University
;
suppressing

,
taking

he
did
Sir

at

soon
after
;
having
reclaimed
himself
from
the
open
vanities
of
Youth
,
and
taken
up
the
secret
Vices
of
Old
men
;
so
that
certainly
a
stranger
change
was
never
wrought
in
any
man
;
each
Vice
skipping
over
its
medium
of
vertue
,
(
which
he
touched
not
at
all
)
becoming
the
contrary
extream
;
his
youthful
Debaucheries
proving
in
his
Old
Age
all
manner
of
Atheistical
Prophaness
,
as
Perjury
,
Hypocrisie
,
Cruelty
;
in
a

what
not

had
no

a
Paragraph

more
which
are
of

here
,
for

of
Posterity
.
That
year
1599
,
was
the
last
of
that
wonderful
Century
,
and
did
just
precede
the
famous
and
celebrated
Union
of
the
two
Kingdoms
of
England

Scotland
under
King
Iames
;
as
if
it
were
congenial
to
Crowns
,
as
to
other
lesser
accessions
of
Felicity
in
private
persons
,

at
the

a

Lustre

;

of

and
insensibly
accomplished
by
the
mean
and
unobserved
hand
of
this
bold
and
perjurious
Politique
.
Every
thing
hath
its
Good
and
Evil
Angel
to
attend
it
;
and
that
grand
and
happy
Revolution
was
to
be
afflicted
and
persecuted
by
this
Fury
,
to
an
almost
dissolution
of
its
well-composed
and
established
frame
.
Born
of
an
ancient
Family
at
Huntington
.
He
was
descended
of
a
very
ancient
Knightly
Family
of
his
name
,
in
the
County
of
Huntington
,
where
for
many
Ages
they
have
had
a
large
and
plentiful
Patrimony
:
it
will
suffice
therefore
to
deduce
him
from
no
further
Originals
then
Sir
Henry
Cromwel
his
Grandfather
,
a
Gentleman
highly
honoured
and
beloved
both
in
Court
and
Country
;
who
had
issue
Sir
Oliver
his
eldest
Son
,
Henry
,
Robert
and
Richard
,
and
Sir
Philip
the
youngest
(
whose
Son
,
upon
suspicion
of
Poysoning
his
Master
,
was
accused
thereupon
,
convicted
and
hanged
,
some
thirty
five
years
ago
.
)
This
our
Oliver
was
Son
of
Mr.
Robert
Cromwel
,
the
third
Son
of
Sir
Henry
,
a
Gentleman
who
went
no
less
in
esteem
and
reputation
,
that
any
of
his
Ancestors
,
for
his
personal
worth
,
until
his
unfortunate
production
of
this
his
Son
and
Heir
,
Married
to
Elizabeth
the
Niece
of
Sir
Rob.
Steward
,
who
settled
on
him
an
Estate
after
he
had
consumed
his
Patrimony
,
and
intended
for
New-England
.
whom
he
had
by
his
wife
Elizabeth
Steward
,
the
Niece
of
Sir
Robert
Steward
,
a
Gentleman
of
a
competent
fortune
in
this
County
,
but
of
such
a
maligne
effect
on
the
course
of
this
his
Nephews
life
,
that
if
all
the
Lands
he
gave
him
(
as
some
were
Fenny
ground
)
had
been
irrecoverably
lost
,
it
might
have
past
for
a
good
providence
,
and
a
happy
prevention
of
those
Ruines
he
caused
in
the
three
Kingdoms
.
For
that
estate
continued
him
here
,
after
his
debauchery
had
wasted
and
consumed
his
own
Patrimony
;
and
diverted
him
from
a
resolution
of
going
into
New-England
,
the
Harbour
of
Nonconformists
;
which
design
,
upon
his
sudden
and
miraculous
conversion
,
first
to
a
civil
and
Religious
deportment
,
and
thence
to
a
sowre
Puritanism
,
he
straightway
abandoned
:
by
the
former
Repentance
,
he
gained
the
good
will
and
affection
of
the
Orthodox
Clergy
,
Sir
Robert
Steward
declares
O.
C.
his
Heir
.
who
by
their
perswasions
,
and
charitable
insinuations
,
wrought
him
into
Sir
Robert
Steward's
favour
,
insomuch
that
he
declared
him
his
Heir
to
an
Estate
of
four
or
five
hundred
pounds
a
year
:
by
his
second
change
to
Non-conformity
,
and
Scrupulous
Sanctity
,
he
gained
the
estimation
and
favour
of
the
Faction
;
Cromwel
gets
into
favour
with
the
Faction
;
they
procure
him
to
wife
,
Elizabeth
the
Daughter
of
Sir
James
Bòwcher
,
and
choose
him
Burgess
for
Cambridge
.
some
of
the
Heads
whereof
,
viz.
Mr.
Hambden
,
and
Master
Goodwin
,
procured
him
the
Match
with
a
Kinswoman
of
theirs
,
Mistris
Elizabeth
Bowcher
,
the
Daughter
of
Sir
Iames
Bowcher
;
and
afterwards
got
him
chosen
a
Burgess
for
Cambridge
,
by
their
interest
in
that
Town
,
which
was
totally
infected
with
Puritanism
and
Zelotry
:
and
this
was
his
first
projection
and
design
of
ambition
,
besides
that
it
priviledged
him
from
Arrests
,
his
Estate
being
sunk
again
,
and
not
to
be
repaired
but
by
the
General
Ruine
.
I
have
the
rather
insisted
upon
him
here
,
because
this
is
the
place
from
whence
he
began
to
appear
in
that
eminence
which
shewed
him
to
the
people
as
a
most
able
Champion
of
the
Parliaments
cause
,
and
from
whence
it
is
thought
he
first
derived
those
ambitious
thoughts
which
after
Ruined
three
Kingdoms
.
To
give
him
his
due
,
the
Honour
of
this
Field
was
mainly
,
if
not
solely
ascribable
to
his
courage
;
for
with
his
Regiment
of
Curassiers
he
broke
through
all
that
withstood
him
,
The
Marq.
of
Newcastle
defeated
.
Defeating
all
the
Northern
Horse
under
the
Marquess
of
Newcastle
;
at
which
time
the
main
bodies
joyned
,
animated
and
incouraged
by
his
success
.
Being
thus
over-powred
both
in
Front
and
Flank
,
the
Royallists
began
to
flie
,
and
Cromwel
being
impatient
of
any
longer
demur
to
his
victory
,
which
he
had
so
fairly
bid
for
,
omitted
not
to
prosecute
the
same
.
In
this
unhappy
juncture
,
the
Princes
right
Wing
returned
to
the
field
;
but
all
was
grown
so
desperate
,
and
in
such
confusion
and
disorder
,
that
it
was
impossible
to
Ralley
them
;
and
the
fearful
execution
that
was
made
among
them
,
had
quite
taken
away
the
hearing
of
any
Command
,
or
obedience
to
Discipline
.
There
was
yet
standing
two
Regiments
of
the
Lord
New-castle's
,
His
Lambs
excellent
Souldiers
.
one
called
by
the
name
of
his
Lambs
;
these
being
veterane
Souldiers
,
and
accustomed
to
fight
,
stood
their
Ground
,
and
the
fury
of
that
impression
of
Cromwel
,
which
Routed
the
whole
Army
besides
;
nor
did
the
danger
nor
the
slaughter
round
them
,
make
them
cast
away
their
Arms
or
their
courage
;
but
seeing
themselves
destitute
of
their
friends
,
and
surrounded
by
their
enemies
,
they
cast
themselves
into
a
Ring
,
where
though
quarter
was
offered
them
,
they
gallantly
refused
it
,
They
are
overpowred
and
destroyed
.
and
so
manfully
behaved
themselves
,
that
they
flew
more
of
the
enemie
in
this
particular
fight
,
than
they
had
killed
of
them
before
.
At
last
they
were
cut
down
,
not
by
the
Sword
,
but
showers
of
bullets
,
after
a
long
and
stout
resistance
,
leaving
their
enemies
a
sorrowful
victory
,
both
in
respect
of
themselves
whom
they
would
have
spared
,
as
in
regard
of
the
loss
of
the
bravest
men
on
their
own
side
,
who
fell
in
assaulting
them
.
A
very
inconsiderable
number
of
them
were
preserved
,
to
be
the
living
monuments
of
that
Brigades
Loyalty
and
valour
.
The
Prince
after
this
defeat
fled
to
Thursk
,
P.
Rupert
fled
to
Thursk
,
&c.
and
so
through
Lancashire
and
Shropshire
the
way
he
came
:
(
Night
ended
the
pursuit
:
for
it
was

a
clock
before
the
fight
ceased

from
whence
they
rose
to

Here
were
slain
to
the
number
of
8000
and
upwards
in
the
field
and
flight
;
which
at
certain
was
divided
equally
between
both
Armies
:
For
what
slaughter
was
made
by
the
Prince
upon
the
Scots
and
Fairfax
,
The
loss
of
men
so
great
on
both
sides
,
that
the
Inhabitants
were
poysoned
with
the
smell
of
the
Dead
bodies
.
was
requited
by
Cromwel
on
the
left
Wing
as
aforesaid
,
and
the
fight
was
furious
and
bloody
there
.
It
must
needs
be
a
great
carnivage
;
for
a
month
after
the
Battel
,
though
the
slain
bodies
were
put
into
pits
and
covered
,
there
was
such
a
stench
thereabouts
,
that
it
almost
poisoned
them
that
passed
over
the
Moor
;
and
at
Kendal
,
a
place
near
adjacent
,
the
Bell
for
six
weeks
together
never
ceased
tolling
for
the
inhabitants
who
were
poysoned
and
infected
with
the
smell

again
:
they
had
used
before

utmost
indeavours
,
by
Mines
and
Assaults
,
(
in
one
whereof
they
lost
near
one
thousand
men
,
and
were
beaten
off
)
to
have
entred
;
to
which
the
Governour
returned
answer
,
that
he
was
no
whit
dismayed
with
their
present
success
;
yet
nevertheless
on
equal
Conditions
he
would
come
to
a
Treaty
and
Surrender
;
which
in
nineteen
days
after
the
battel
was
concluded
on
.
The
main
Articles
were
:
That
the
Garrison
should
march
out
according
to
the
honourable
custome
of
War
:
That
the
Garison
the
Parliament
put
in
should
consist
two
parts
of
three
of
the
County
of
York
:
That
the
Citizens
should
be
indempnified
,
as
well
those
absent
as
present
,
and
have
the
benefit
of
those
Articles
:
That
the
Cathedral
and
Churches
should
receive
no
prejudice
,
&c.
According
to
which
agreement
,
the
Governour
and
Garison
departed
the
23
day
of
Iuly
;
but
the
Articles
were
most
of
them
basely
infringed
and
violated
,
by
plundering
the
people
that
departed
out

to
Skipton

by
Articles
they
were
to
be
convoyed

to

more
were
by
their

Easing●house
besieged
by
Sir
Wil.
Waller
,
During
the
Kings
absence
in
the
West
,
and
the
Princes
in
the
North
,
Sir
William
Waller
had
recruited
himself
,
and
joyned
with
the
forces
of
Colonel
Norton
,
and
Colonel
Morley
,
who
had
drawn
down
before
Basing
,
a
house
of
the
Marquess
of
Winchesters
,
garrisoned
by
him
,
and
kept
for
the
King
;
which
being
distressed
for
want
of
Ammunition
and
provision
,
was
close
laid
to
by
the
enemy
.
Many
brave
Salleys
were
made
,
and
a
multitude
of
men
they
slew
;
And
relieved
by
Col.
Gage
and
Col.
Sir
G.
Buncley
.
so
that
it
was
afterwards
called
Basting-house
.
Waller
was
resolved
not
to
rise
,
cost
what
it
would
:
at
length
relief
was
put
into
it
,
under
the
conduct
of
Colonel
Gage
,
and
Colonel
Sir
George
Buncley
,
who
with
a
party
of
800
Horse
,
each
having
a
Sack
of
Meal
behind
him
,
resolutely
passed
through
the
Leaguer
to
the
House
;
and
having
unladen
themselves
,
as
valiantly
returned
back
safe
again
to
Oxford
.
The
besiegers
at
Last
depart
.
Nevertheless
they
persisted
in
the
enterprize
,
till
after
Newbery-fight
,
the
King
marching
that
way
,
the
Forces
left
to
block
it
up
rose
and
departed
without
it

The
siege
of
Dennington-Castle
.
Dennington-Castle
neer
Newbery
was
Garrisoned
by
the
King
;
wherefore
Colonel
Middleton
Lieutenant-General
to
Sir
William
Waller
,
came
and
sate
down
before
it
with
the
broken
remains
of
Cropredy
,
amounting
to
three
thousand
Horse
and
Foot
;
he
presently
made
his
Approaches
,
and
seized
a
Barn
from
the
besieged
,

then
sent
in
his
Summons
;

Middleton

SIR
,
I
demand
you
to
render
me
Dennington-Castle
for
the
use
of
the
King
and

:
if
you
please
to
entertain
a
present
Treaty
,
you
shall
have
honourable
terms

My
desire

makes
me
propose
this
.
I
desire
your

John

For
Lieutenant-General
Middleton

The
Answer
from
Sir
John
Boys
the
Governour
.
SIR
,
I
am
entrusted
by
his
Majesties
express
command
,
and
have
not
learned
yet
to
obey
any
other
than
my
Soveraign
.
To
spare
blood
,
do
as
you
please
;
but
my self
,
and
those
that
are
with
me
,
are
fully
resolved
freely
to
venture
ours
in
maintaining
what
we
are
here
intrusted
with
;
which
is
the
Answer
of
John
Boys
.
The
besiegers
assault
the
Castle
,
come
off
with
loss
,
and
depart
.
Middleton
perceived
words
would
not
do
,
and
therefore
advanced
with
Foot
and
Scaling-ladders
in
three
places
;
the
fight
lasting
six
hours
,
in
which
he
lost
one
hundred
men
,
a
Colonel
,
a
Major
,
and
other
Officers
,
leaving
them
to
the
disposal
of
the
Governour
;
and
broke
up
his
siege
,
and
departed
Westward
to
Essex
;
and
by
the
way
was
met
with
by
Sir
Francis
Dorrington
,
and
Sir
William
Courtney
,
They
are
met
by
Sir
Francis
Dorrington
&
Sir
W.
Courtney
,
and
worsted
;
They
afterwards
rout
a
party
of
the
K.
Horse
neer
Sherburn
.
who
had
laid
an
Ambuscado
for
him
in
a
Lane
five
miles
long
,
beyond
Bridgewater
,
where
being
pelted
with
their
Shot
from
the
Hedges
,
he
faced
about
in
some
disorder
,
and
fell
upon
the
two
Knights
,
who
routed
his
Party
,
killed
some
,
and
took
many
Prisoners
.
Retreating
thence
as
unable
now
to
effect
his
business
,
which
was
to
second
Essex
in
the
West
,
he
fell
upon
a
Party
of
the
Kings
Horse
neer
Sherburn
in
Dorsetshire
,
which
he
totally
routed
,
and
with
this

strange
success

with

from

Hill
,
on

side

,
which
lasted
twelve
days
,
every
day
spending
eighty

at

down
their
Towers

but

in

:
at

came
the

removed
the
Battery
on
the
other
side

proceeded

but
the

sallying
out
,
sent
them
out
of
their
Trenches
,
killed
a
Lieutenant-Colonel
,
and
other
Officers
;
which
made
the
Besiegers
slacken
in
their
heat
.
They
continued
nevertheless
Battering
two
days
after
,
and
then
seeing
it
bootless
to

,
rose
from
the
Siege
;
the

soon
after

at

as
he
had

from

.
This
last
Message
from
Tavestock
in
Devonshire
coming
to
the
notice
of
Somersetshire
and
Wiltshire
Inhabitants
,
they
professed
their
Concurrence
with
the
King
,
and
that
they
would
petition
the
Parliament
to
comply
with
the
King
,
and
end
those
differences
.
From
this
root
sprung
afterwards
that
Association
of

Club-men
(
after
the
Fatal
business
at

)
in
the
Western
Counties

An

Next
to
Dennington-Siege
,
remarkable
was
that
of
Banbury
,
Banbury
Siege
raised
.
where
Col.
Iohn
Fiennes
commanded
for
the
Parliament
,
and
where
he
used
Batterings
,
Mines
,
and
Stormings
against
the
Castle
,
wherein
Sir
William
Compton
was
Governour
for
the
King
;
whom
he
summoned
twice
,
and
at
last
had
answer
,
that
the
Governour
wondred
he
would
send
again
.
Then
Granadoes
were
used
,
which
made
a
breach
,
&
gave
them
encouragement
to
Storm
it
again
;
which
was
begun
on
the
23
of
September
:
But
they
were
Repulsed
with
great
loss
,
yet
nevertheless
they
continued
their
Granadoes
and
Battery
,
The
Earl
of
Northampton
and
Col.
Gage
the
Governour
of
Oxford
,
relieve
Banbury
.
till
the
Earl
of
Northampton
was
come
from
the
Rendezvous
neer
Newbery
,
and
had
joyned
with
the
Forces
under
Colonel
Gage
,
newly
made
Governour
of
Oxford
.
Upon
the
approach
of
the
said
Earl
,
the
Parliamentarians
Retreated
to
the
West-side
of
the
Town
towards
Hanwel
,
while
the
Foot
in
some
disorder
drew
out
of
the
Town
,
following
their
Horse
;
having
sent
away
their
Baggage
and
Artillery
the
night
before
.
The
Earl
followed
them
,
while
Sir
Henry
Gage
relieved
Banbury
.
The
Enemy
being
briskly
Charged
,
made
away
in
haste
,
and
dispersed
themselves
several
ways
,
by
Cropredy
and
Compton
.
The
Earl
of
Brainford
and
Colonel
Web
were
here
wounded
,
as
also
Lieutenant-Colonel
Smith
and
Captain
Bo●eler
slain
.
The
Enemy
lost
many
men
,
a
field-Piece
,
eight
Waggons
of
Ammunition
,
and
six
barrels
of
Powder
,
four
Cornets
,
and
some
Horse
.
Thus
was
this
Siege
Raised
,
The
Siege
raised
.
which
had
continued
from
the
nineteenth
of
Iuly
,
to
the
five
and
twentieth
of
October
.
While
these
things
were
acting
hereabouts
,
when
there
was
little
motion
in
any
parts
else
of
the
Kingdom
,
at
least
not
considerable
,
another
design
was
laid
upon
Glocester
,
by
the
united
Forces
of
Worcester-shire
and
Hereford
,
while
Massey
was
abroad
on
parties
;
who
having
notice
thereof
,
having
got
an
addition
of
three
hundred
and
fifty
men
from
T●wksbury
,
to
enable
him
to
fight
with
Colonel
Myn
,
Col.
Myn
s●ain
i●
Glocestersh●re
,
and
the
Royalists
worsted
by
Mas●ey
,
a
gallant
expert
Commander
,
followed
after
him
to
his
quarters
at
Elderfield
.
By
break
of
day
both
parties
engaged
;
Massey
beating
the
Royalists
from
their
Ambuscadoes
,
put
their
Horse
to
flight
,
and
so
fell
upon
the
Van
of
their
Foot
,
routed
their
whole
body
,
killed
and
wounded
several
of
them
,
and
took
many
Prisoners
.
The
Noble
Colonel
Myn
,
who
commanded
a
Regiment
of
English
which
he
brought
with
him
out
of
Ireland
,
was
killed
here
fighting
and
bringing
up
his
men
,
and
keeping
them
from
the
rout
,
with
neer
two
hundred
more
slain
,
and
the
like
number
taken
Prisoners
.
This
defeat
happened
by
reason
the
two
County-forces
aforesaid
were
not
joyned
,
who
came
just
in
the
close
of
the
fight
,
and
killed
some
of
Masseys
men
who
followed
the
pursuit
;
but
he
himself
,
with
his
●ooty
and
Prisoners
,
got
safe
to
Glocester
,
Who
bestowed
an
hono●rable
burial
on
the

C●lon●l

where
he
very
honourably
interred

of
the
aforesaid
Colonel
Myn.
Some

hapned
every

:
Princ●

such
being
the
fortune
of
war
,
that
the
Prince
,
who
had
bid
battel
but
the
other
day
to
thirty
thousand
men
,
now
pidled
and
trifled
with
a
Brigade
or
two
,
to
seek
the
advantage
of
a
private
and
commodious
march
,
being
dogged
but
with
a
Squadron
or
two
of
Horse
at
A●t
Ferry
,
where
betwixt
some
of
his
forces
and
Colonel
Massey
a
b●●k●ring
fell
out
,
wherein
Massey
prevailed
,
He
is
worsted
by
Massey
.
but
to
no
great
loss
or
concernment
.
While
Colonel
Massey
was
thus
every
day
upon
parties
marching
up
and
down
,
one
Kirle
,
who
for
a
while
before
had
intelligence
with
him
about
the
delivery
of
Monmouth
,
Monmouth
b●●●a●●d
to
Massey
,
by
Lieutenant-Co●

Kirle
.
being
Lieutenant-Colonel
to
Holtby
the
Governour
,
took
the
advantage
of
his
approach
to
effect
it
:
for
Massey
having
shewed
himself
thereabouts
,
gave
out
that
the
enemy
being
plundering
about
Bristol
,
he
was
constrained
to
depart
:
whereupon
Kirle
is
sent
out
with
a
Troop
of
Horse
to
pursue
his
rear
:
him
and
his
party
Massey
takes
,
secures
his
men
all
but
a
Coronet
,
who
gave
the
Allarm
to
Monmouth
,
where
Kirle
suddenly
coming
with
a
hundred
Horse
of
Masseys
,
commands
the
Gates
to
be
opened
to
let
him
in
speedily
(
as
he
said
)
with
his
Prisoners
;
which
after
some
dispute
being
done
,
and
the
Draw-bridge
let
down
,
he
entred
,
and
presently
declared
hin●●●●
;
Mastering
the
Guards
,
and
making
good
the
bridge
,
till
a
body
of
Horse
and
Foot
close
behind
came
on
and
entred
the
Town
.
The
Governour
escaped
over
the
dry
Graft
,
leaving
this
place
(
the
key
of
South
-
Wales
)
thus
in
the
enemies
hands
;
Col
Holtby
Gover●our
thereof
escapes
.
but
it
was
regained
from
them
soon
after
by
as
good
Conduct
,
as
it
was
lost
by
base
Treachery
.
Several
other
encounters
and
velitations
there
were
in
those
parts
,
wherein
Massey's
activity
and
vigilance
manifested
it self
;
Massey
active
and
vigilant
.
but
because
they
were
of
no
great
moment
,
it
will
be
to
as
little
purpose
to
relate
them
.
Come
we
now
to
that
which
is
most
material
and
remarkable
.
Hitherto
the
King
seemed
to
have
fortune
equal
,
if
not
favourable
and
inclinable
to
him
,
saving
in
that
unfortunate
business
of
Marston-Moor
.
Now
the
Cause
came
to
be
disputed
.
The
King
in
his
march
out
of
the
West
,
sent
part
of
his
Army
on
several
services
;
his
reduced
enemy
still
marching
before
him
towards
London
,
as
far
as
Basing
,
where
they
had
Arms
put
again
into
their
hands
,
and
r●c●●i●s
from
all
parts
thereabouts
sent
them
.
Neer
that
House
they
gathered
into
one
body
,
but
attempted
not
the
place
.
Here
joyned
the
Earls
of
Essex
,
Manchester
and
Sir
William
Waller
,
with
some
trayned
Regiments
of
London
.
The
King
came
to
Kingsclear
,
Essex
to
Aldermarston
,
and
thence
privately
over
the
water
to
Padworth
,
and
so
to
Bucklebury-Heath
,
and
thence
to
Newberry
,
where
the
King
was

On
Sunday-morning
,
about
a
thousand
of
the
Earl
of
Manchesters
forces
,
and
London
Trained
bands
,
came
down
the
hill
very
early
,
and
undiscerned
passed
over
the
Kennet
,
and
advanced
upon
some
few
of
the
Kings
Foot
,
Manchester's
forces
over-powered
the
Kings
,
but
are
rep●lied
by
Sir
Bernard
Astley
.
and
over-powred
them
,
till
they
were
seconded
by
Sir
Bernard
Astley
,
who
drove
the
enemy
back
again
over
the
River
,
and
the
Reserves
that
were
passed
to
assist
them
,
altogether
in
the
same
rout
.
Essex
his
design
was
to
surround
the
King
toward
Spr●
;
to
which
purpose
,
about
three
a
clock
in
the
afternoon
,
four
thousand
of
their
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
and
a
stand
of
five
hundred
Pikes
,
and
some
Cannon
,
appeared
on
the
West-side
of
Newberry
beyond
the
King
;
The
Duke
of
Yorks
Regiment
led
by
Sir
Wil.
St
Leger
,
and
Pr.
Maurices
Brigade
repulsed
.
where
the
Cornish
Foot
and
the
Duke
of
Yorks
Regiment
commanded
by
Sir
William
St.
Leger
,
with
five
field-Pieces
,
and
a
Brigade
of
Prince
Maurice's
Horse
,
charged
home
,
but
were
repulsed
,
and
so
over-powered
with
number
,
that
they
were
forced
to
forsake
their
ground
and
their
five
Field-pieces
,
which
the
enemy
seized
,
and
maintained
.
Essex's
Horse
also
were
too
hard
for
the
Kings
,
whom
they
discomfited
,
and
then
with
a
part
of
them
and
some
Musqueteers
fell
upon
the
Kings
Life-guards
,
Essex
his
Horse
too
hard
for
the
Kings
,
over-powred
Sir
Humphry
Bennet
and
Major
Leg
;
but
are
repulsed
by
the
Lord
Bernard
Stuart
.
Goring
and
Cleaveland
worsted
:
Earle
of
Cleaveland
taken
Prisoner
,
and
the
Kings
person
in
danger
.
and
Sir
Humphry
Bennets
Brigade
;
they
also
over-powered
Major
Leg
,
who
was
sent
with
a
party
of
Horse
to
their
reserve
;
and
made
Colonel
Bennet
to
bear
off
in
some
disorder
:
but
being
seconded
by
the
Lord
Bernard
Stuart
,
who
fell
upon
the
enemies
Flanks
,
they
routed
them
,
killing
in
the
conflict
a
Captain
and
several
private
Souldiers
.
On
the
Kings
side
Captain
Cathlin
was
slain
,
and
Captain
Walgrave
wounded
.
On
the
East-side
of
Newberry
the
Parliaments
forces
were
not
less
successful
;
against
whom
General
Goring
and
the
old
Earl
of
Cleaveland
opposed
themselves
,
with
the
said
Earls
brigade
,
which
consisted
of
the
Regiments
of
Colonel
Thornhill
,
Colonel
Hamilton
,
Colonel
Culpepper
,
and
Colonel
Stuart
.
In
this
dispute
the
Kings
forces
had
the
better
,
killing
Major
Hurry
,
Colonel
Hurry's
Kinsman
;
but
fresh
supplies
coming
in
,
the
Earl
was
forced
to
recede
,
and
was
at
last
taken
Prisoner
,
and
the
Kings
person
very
neer
the
same
condition
.
Let
us
cast
a
view
now
into
the
bloodiest
parts
of
the
field
,
on
the
North-East
of
Newbery
,
where
Manchester
and
the
London
Trained
bands
●ought
against
the
Lord
Ashley
and
Sir
George
Lisle
,
who
had
secured
one
Mr.
Dolmans
house
,
as
a
place
of
some
advantage
,
Earl
of
Manchester
ingaged
with
Lord
Ashley
and
Sir
George
Lisle
,
they
are
worsted
but
relieved
by
Sir
John
Brown
.
having
Colonel
Thelwel
for
his
Reserve
:
Manchesters
Horse
and
Foot
descending
the
Hill
with
the
aforesaid
Trained
bands
,
advanced
hastily
upon
those
Foot
of
Sir
Georges
,
and
worsted
them
;
but
Sir
Iohn
Brown
,
with
Prince
Charles
his
Regiment
,
coming
in
time
,
gave
a
stop
to
their
fury
,
diverting
some
part
of
their
Horse
,
to
the
relief
of
their
Foot
;
which
he
fell
upon
,
and
so
retreated
:
when
the
Reserve
under
Thelwel
made
good
his
beginnings
;
and
Colonel
Lisle
animating
his
own
Regiment
by
his
example
,
by
pulling
off
his
doublet
,
brought
them
three
several
times
to
the
Charge
,
and
maugre
all
the
force
and
fury
of
the
enemy
,
could
not
be
beaten
from
his
ground
,
which
he
quitted
not
before
command
.
Several
times
here
it
came
to
the
butt-end
,
with
very
great
resolution
on
both
sides
;
which
ceased
not
while
they
had
any
light
to
see
what
they
did
;
The
King
marcheth
to
Wallingford
,
and
so
to
Oxford
.
In
the
Covert
of
night
the
King
drew
all
his
Artillery
,
Ammunition
,
and
Waggons
,
under
the
walls
of
Dennington-Castle
,
and
marched
away
to
Wallingford
(
though
his
Rear
staid
that
night
in
the
place
till
almost
morning
)
and
so
to
Oxford
.
This
was
a
most
fierce
and
bloody
Battel
,
though
of
short
continuance
,
but
of
four
hours
,
from
four
a
clock
in
the
afternoon
till
eight
at
night
;
wherein
the
Parliamentarians
strove
to
revenge
their
disgraceful
defeat
at
Lestithiel
▪
and
the
Royalists
to
redeem
their
loss
at
Marston-Moor
:
but
it
was
observed
,
that
none
fought
so
eagerly
as
those
Souldiers
who
took
the
engagement
never
to
bear
Arms
against
the
King
,
at
their
rendition
in
Cornwal
;
so
that
the
King
was
well
rewarded
for
his
lenity
▪
and
sparing
of
blood
,
which
was
at
this
place
plenteously
drawn
from
his
own
Army
:
Of
which
,
of
men
of
note
,
were
slain
fewer
than
in
any
Battel
whatsoever
;
there
being
reckoned
but
three
;
Colonel
Sir
William
St.
Leger
,
Slain
of
note
on
the
Kings
side
,
Sir
William
St.
Leger
.
Lieutenant-Colonel
Topping
,
and
Lieutenant-Colonel
Leak
:
There
were
wounded
Sir
Iohn
Greenvile
,
the
General
the
Earl
of
Brainford
in
the
head
,
and
Sir
Richard
Campfield
,
Colonel
of
the
Queens
Regiment
of
Horse
;
of
Common
Souldiers
a
greater
quantity
than

thousand

But
of
their
side
not
any
person
of
note
above
a
Captain
,
Essex
had
the
Field
.
and
some
five
and
twenty
hundred
killed
.
The
Earl
of
Essex
had
indubitably
the
honour
,
as
he
had
the
pillage
of
the
Field
,
on
which
he
lay
all
that
night
;
and
having
buried
the
Dead
,
marched
to
Besiege

where
the
Kings
Artillery
was
secured
by
the
care
of
the
aforesaid

who
intended
not
to
part
with
them
at
any
Rates
,
though
encompassed
with
so
great
and
powerful
an
Army
,
which
after
three
several
Summons
,
three
several
days
together
assaulted
it
.
The
King
having
marched
his
Army
through
Oxford
on
the
thirtieth
of
the
same
month
,
on
the
sixth
of
October
Rendezvouzed
them
on
Burlington-Green
,
within
a
Mile
Eastward
of
Oxford
;
and
so
marched
by
Dorchester
to
Wallingford
,
and
forward
for
the
relief
of
Dennington-castle
,

which
yet
stifly
defended
it self
:
Upon
his
approach
,
and
some
resolute
attempts
upon
their
out-Guards
over-night
,
which
passed
with
sundry
Skirmishes
,
the
Enemy
drew
off
next
day
,
and
departed
,
although
they
were
two
for
one
.
The
Parliament
suspect
the
Earl
of
Essex
.
Hereabout
,
and
in
this
matter
,
appears
the
first
dissatisfaction
of
the
Parliament
,
as
to
the
good
management
of
their
Arms
;
the
Earl
of
Essex
being
now
suspected
as
careless
or
discontent
:
And
therefore
they
fell
to
debate
concerning
the
Army
in
the
House
.
For
Colonel
Norton
had
writ
a
Letter
to
them
,
that
he
had
received
a
Warrant
from
a
chief
Commander
in
the
Army
to
withdraw
from
Basing
;
which
was
a
thing
to
him
unexpected
,
but
yet
he
obeyed
:
and
besides
,
the
commands
of
the
Committee
of
both
Kingdoms
to
the
Army
were
lately
much
neglected
▪
and
complained
of
.
This
debate
flew
so
high
,
as
it
came
to
this
question
:
How
chance
the
Parliament-forces
permitted
the
Enemy
to
relieve
Dennington-castle
,
when
they
were
two
for
one
?
and
why
the
Town
of
Newbery
was
quitted
before
the
Enemy
was
marched
away
?
as
the
pretence
of
not
fighting
was
,
because
they
would
not
quit
Newbery
.
It
seems
it
was
first
resolved
by
the
Council
of
State
,
that
Essex
his
Forces
should
not
quit
Newbery
,
or
draw
out
into
the
Field
,
lest
the
King
should
take
it
for
Winter-quarters
;
but
when
the
King
should
retreat
from
the
relief
of
Dennington
,
to
fall
upon
his
Rear
:
But
no
such
matter
was
prosecuted
;
for
the
King
possest
himself
of
that
Town
,
as
a
good
covert
and
quarter
for
his
Army
,
while
the
Parliaments
Forces
lay
in
the
open
Fields
,
who
being
by
the
Kings
approach
to
them
at
Hungerford
,
and
one
thousand
Horse
sent
under
the
same
Colonel
Gage
from
thence
,
hastily
dislodged
also
from
the
Siege
of
Basing
,
(
where
Manchester
and
his
whole
Army
had
shewed
themselves
onely
)
departed
to
their
Winter-quarters
in
Reading
,
Henly
,
Abington
,
and
Farnham
;
and
the
King
's
to
Basing
,
Odiam
,
Newbery
,
Blewbury
and
Marlborough
.
Whilst
they
thus
are
lodged
in
their
quarters
,
there
will
be
respite
to
look
upon
the
Counsels
and
debates
of
the
Parliament
,
and
the
consultations
of
the
King
,
and
the
debates
likewise
in
his
Court
and
Parliament
at
Oxford
.
Manchester
and
Cromwel
disser
.
And
first
,
the
Earl
of
Manchester
made
his
relation
concerning
the
management
of
the
business
at
Dennington-castle
of
great
length
in
Writing
,
which
was
in
the
nature
of
a
Charge
against
his
Lieutenant-General
Cromwel
,
who
had
fought
so
Fortunately
for
the
Parliament
:
He
thereupon
made
answer
to
several
particulars
therein
mentioned
,
and
pleaded
first
,
point
of
Priviledge
,
because
of
the
transmitting
of
that
business
from
the
Lords
,
before
any
Charge
was
brought
into
the
House
of
Commons
.
This
private
Quarrel
was
presently
quashed
,
but
the
Publike
disgusts
were
not
so
soon
laid
.
For
the
Independent
Faction
began
now
to
appear
,
and
to
be
powerful
in
the
House
of
Commons
;
so
that
a
suspicion
was
raised
and
fomented
by
them
,
that
the
Earl
of
Essex
was
more
Royal
than
the
Parliament
ever
intended
,
when
they
gave
him
his
Commission
.
Upon
this
pretence
,
and
after
several
discourses
,
it
came
at
last
to
a
debate
,
The
Parliament
resolve
to
new
model
their
Army
.
wherein
it
was
resolved
to
new
model
their
Army
,
and
so
by
degrees
to
quit
themselves
of
their
General
,
and
to
bethink
of
a
new
one
,
that
should
not
be
of
that
dangerous
greatness
and
honour
,
who
might
not
well
be
disputed
with
;
but
to
chuse
one
of
a
middle
Estate
betwixt
the
Peers
and
the
People
;
and
so
to
be
at
last
rid
of
all
the
Lords
:
which
afterwards
they
brought
to
pass
.
To
this
end
they
began
with
a
subtle
Order
,
They
Order
that
no
Member
shall
bear
command
in
either
Military
or
Civil
affairs
.
That
no
Member
of
either
House
shall
during
this
War
,
enjoy
and
execute
any
Office
or
Command
military
or
civil
,
which
hath
been
granted
or
conferred
on
any
Member
of
either
House
,
or
by
any
Authority
derived
from
either
House
.
The
Reasons
published
for
this
Order
,
were
these
fine
ones
.
That
all
Commissions
to
Parliament-men
being
void
,
the
new
modeling
the
Army
may
be
carried
on
with
the
less
exception
,
when
all
are
concerned
alike
;
That
Military
differences
among
the
great
Commanders
being
Parliament-men
which
might
retard
the
work
,
will
hereby
cease
;
Those
that
shall
be
new
elected
Officers
being
of
lesser
quality
and
sooner
subject
to
question
and
punishment
,
and
the
Army
also
maintained
at
a
lesser
charge
.
Forty
days
were
limited
from
this
Order
,
by
which
all
such
Commissions
and
Commands
were
in
the
Army
declared
void
;
with
a
resolution
nevertheless
expressed
,
to
pay
off
their
Arrears
;
which
was
meanly
performed
,
and
at
the
same
rate
that
the
Earl
of
Essex
had
the
Ten
thousand
pounds
a
year
assigned
him
(
for
the
good
service
he
had
done
the
State
)
out
of
the
Lands
of
the
Lord
Capel
(
whose
Heirs
now
have
his
Honour
)
and
other
Delinquents
,
punctually
paid
him
.
This
Ordinance
for
new
modelling
the
Army
met
notwithstanding
with
great
opposition
;
The
Ordinance
for
the
new
modeling
the
Army
Decemb.
31.
and
as
much
(
after
it
was
received
into
the
House
)
of
alteration
:
The
Lords
being
instructed
to
soresee
the
evil
consequences
;
nor
would
they
plenarily
consent
,
before
the
old
trick
of
Petitions
from
City
and
Country
compelled
them
to
pass
it
.
The
Title
whereof
was
,
An
Ordinance
for
the
raising
and
maintaining
of
Forces
for
the
defence
of
the
Kingdom
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
made
General
.
under
the
comand
of
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
.
He
thereupon
is
sent
for
,
and
privately
comes
out
of
the
North
;
and
on
the
nineteenth
of
February
,
was
brought
by
four
Members
into
the
House
of
Commons
,
where
a
Chair
was
set
,
and
he
desired
to
sit
therein
;
the
Speaker
telling
him
of
the
great
confidence
and
trust
the
Kingdom
had
put
upon
him
in
the
Command
of
this
Army
(
from
a
sence
of
his
Valour
and
Fidelity
)
for
the
defence
of
the
Laws
and
Religion
.
While
this
Army
was
a
modelling
,
many
disorders
happened
,
which
retarded
their
settlement
:
it
was
to
consist
of
fourteen
thousand
Foot
,
and
seven
thousand
Horse
and
Dragoons
effective
;
so
that
the
Spring
was
well
advanced
,
before
they
were
in
any
readiness
.
The
stots
advance
Southward
.
Therefore
the
Scots
Army
was
intreated
to
advance
South-ward
with
all
speed
,
to
assist
the
Parliament
in
the
mean
time
.
It
is
to
be
noted
,
The
first
Address
,
contrived
by
Oliver
Cromwel
.
that
the
first
contrivance
of
Addresses
was
from
Oliver
Cromwel
,
who
having
by
this
Model
(
and
by
a
Salvo
to
him
from
the
injunction
of
the
Ordinance
)
the
Regiment
of
Colonel
Leg
,
(
which
had
been
in
some
muttering
and
discontent
against
the
Parliament
)
conferred
on
him
,
did
,
as
soon
as
he
had
Mustered
them
,
present
a
Paper
to
them
,
wherein
they
professed
their
future
adherence
to
the
Parliament
in
all
duty
and
affection
,
as
to
the
utmost
hazard
of
their
lives
:
which
Precedent
and
leading
Case
was
followed
throughout
the
Army
,
and
since
throughout
the
Times
.
The
Scots
(
we
said
before
)
were
sent
for
to
march
more
Southward
,
The
Scots
t●●●
Newcastle
.
having
left
all
things
secure
behind
them
,
save
Carlisle
,
which
was
then
Besieged
;
for
Newcastle
they
had
taken
,
of
which
we
must
speak
a
little
.
They
had
layn
a
long
while
for
many
months
a
close
and
desperate
Siege
to
it
,
where
several
Sallies
and
Skirmishes
had
happened
,
it
proving
one
of
the
hardest
resolutest
Sieges
in
the
Kingdom
;
all
sorts
of
policy
,
of
peace
and
war
,
by
Treaty
,
by
Mines
,
by
Assaults
,
having
been
frequently
used
,
but
to
little
purpose
;
the
Inhabitants
resolving
never
,
if
possible
,
to
fall
into
the
Scots
hands
.
But
on
Saturday
the
nineteenth
of
October
,
all
the
Scotch
Army
furiously
set
upon
the
Town
:
and
having
weakened
the
defences
thereof
,
both
as
to
the
Fortifications
and
the
Garrison
,
having
made
three
breaches
by
their
Battery
and
Mines
,
after
a
tedious
Storm
they
at
last
mastered
it
.
Sir
Iohn
Morley
and
Sir
Nicolas
Cole
,
and
Sir
George
Baker
,
got
to
the
Castle
,
where
being
forced
by
necessity
,
they
came
to
a
Capitulation
,
which
in
Articles
concluded
a
surrender
on
the
twenty
seventh
of
the
same
month
.
The
town
being
taken
by
assault
,
was
plundered
sufficiently
over
and
over
again
;
Plunder
it
.
and
thanks
was
given
solemnly
at
London
,
So●●m
thanks
at
London
for
their
success
.
for
the
giving
of
Newcastle
up
to
their
Brethren
of
Scotland
.
And
very
great
reason
they
had
to
do
so
;
for
the
poorer
sort
of
people
had
been
almost
starved
for
the
last
two
years
,
for
want
of
fuel
;
Coles
having
risen
to
the
price
of
four
pound
a
Chaldron
,
never
heard
of
before
in
London
,
as
to
the
half
of
it
.
Sir
Iohn
Hotham
and
his
son
had
been
prisoners
in
the
Tower
of
London
since
Iuly
1643.
Now
upon
the
new
Model
,
several
of
the
old
strains
were
heard
,
as
every
Change
began
with
Outcryes
:
the
noyse
was
justice
now
against
Delinquents
;
the
Sword
had
glutted
it self
almost
with
blood
,
now
the
Ax
was
to
tast
some
of
it
:
but
because
of
order
,
it
is
fit
to
put
Sir
Alexander
Carew
in
the
forlorn
of
those
men
,
Sir
Alexander
Carew
behea●ed
,
f●●
end●avouring
to
betray
Plymouth-Fort
to
the
King
.
who
on
the
three
and
twentieth
of
December
was
beheaded
on
Tower-Hill
,
being
condemned
by
a
Council
of
War
held
at
Guild-hall
,
for
endeavouring
to
betray
Plymouth-Fort
,
where
he
was
Commander
,
to
the
King
.
This
unfortunate
person
,
of
whom
something
strange
as
to
the
business
of
the
Earl
of
Strafford
hath
been
said
before
,
was
brother
to
the
more
miserable
Iohn
Carew
,
one
of
the
Judges
of
his
late
Majesty
.
On
the
twenty
seventh
of
December
Sir
Iohn
Hotham
received
sentence
in
like
manner
,
for
his
endeavour
to
betray
Hull
to
the
King
,
and
for
holding
and
maintaining
correspondence
and
intelligence
with
the
Marquess
of
Newcastle
and
others
:
the
Earl
of
Manchester
,
and
other
great
persons
,
sitting
in
the
Hustings
Court
at
Guild-hall
as
Judges
.
He
would
have
evaded
the
Charge
▪
but
he
could
not
throughly
do
it
,
and
so
mainly
insisted
on
the
great
service
he
had
done
before
at
Hull
,
when
he
might
have
expected
great
honour
and
preferment
.
He
also
produced
some
witnesses
of
quality
,
on
purpose
to
take
off
the
testimony
of
the
Examinants
against
him
;
but
they
were
not
received
for
sufficient
.
Sir
John
Hotham

for
endeavouring
to
betray
Hull
,
and
holding
correspondence
with
the
Marquess
of
Newcastle
.
His
Excecution
should
have
been
on
the
thirty
first
of
December
upon
Tower-hill
,
where
the
multitude
was
assembled
,
the
Scaffold
,
his
Co●fin
and
Executioner
was
in
readiness
;
but
as
he
was
on
his
way
thither
,
a
Reprieve
came
from
the
Lords
for
four
days
longer
;
which
the
Commons
so
stomacked
,
that
conceiving
their
Priviledge
hereby
invaded
,
they
ordered
he
should
dye
on
the
second
of
Ianuary
;
which
was
accordingly
performed
,
(
his
son
suffered
the
day
before
for
the
same
offence
;
and
both
of
them
)
dying
with
great
reluctancy
,
and
reflecting
upon
the
Parliament
;
being
assisted
in
this
sad
business
with
no
better
comforter
than
Hugh
Peters
.
Hugh
Peters
accompanieth
them
at
their
deaths
.
In
their
grave
we
leave
them
,
with
that
most
excellent
memorial
of
them
in
the
Kings
book
,
than
which
nothing
can
be
more
truely
or
pathetically
said
of
them
;
give
me
leave
,
for
an
example
to
posterity
,
to
transcribe
a
Paragraph
.
The
Kings
observations
of
them
in
his
Me●itations
.
Nor
did
a
solitary
vengeance
serve
the
turn
;
the
cutting
off
one
head
in
a
family
is
not
enough
to
expiate
the
affront
done
to
the
head
of
the
Common-weal
;
the
eldest
son
must
be
involved
in
the
punishment
,
as
he
was
infected
with
the
sin
of
his
father
,
against
the
father
of
his
Country
;
Root
and
Branch
,
God
cuts
off
in
one
day
.
That
which
makes
me
more
pitie
him
,
is
,
that
after
he
began
to
have
some
inclinations
towards
a
repentance
for
his
sin
,
and
reparation
of
his
duty
to
me
,
he
should
be
so
unhappie
as
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
their
Iustice
,
and
not
my
Mercie
,
who
could
as
willingly
have
forgiven
him
,
as
he
could
have
asked
that
favour
of
me
.
Poor
Gentleman
!
he
is
now
become
a
notable
Monument
of
unprosperous
Disloyaltie
;
teaching
the
world
by
so
sad
and
unfortunate
a
spectacle
,
that
the
rude
carriage
of
a
Subject
carries
always
its
own
Vengeance
as
an
unseparable
shadow
with
it
;
and
those
oft
prove
the
most
fatal
and
implacable
Executioners
of
it
,
who
were
the
first
employers
in
the
service
.
Less
than
this
could
not
be
afforded
to
this
most
notable
passage
of
the
times
,
whose
ill
beginning
with
this
man
brought
him
to
this
ill
and
unfortunate
end
.
The
Assembly
of
Divines
Convocated
by
the
Parliament
had
sate
a
good
while
in
consultation
of
Church-Government
;
The
Assembly
of

and
though
they
were
forward
enough
to
subvert
what
they
sound
standing
,
yet
by
the
interposition
of
more
moderate
and
learned
Divines
,
who
happened
to
be
chosen
among
the
rest
,
such
as
Dr.
Featly
,
(
whom
at
last
the
Parliament
stifled
in
restraint
)
and
Dr.
(
after
Bishop
)
Gauden
,
and
others
,
that
speed
was
retarded
:
but
upon
this
request
of
the
Parliament
to
the
Scots
for
their
speedy
advance
,
in
exchange
of
mutual
kindness
,
they
demanded
the
speedy
settlement
of
the
Presbyterian
Government
,
and
that
the
Orders
and
Ceremonies
of
the
Church
of
England
might
not
be
used
,
in
the
interim
,
in
any
of
the
Churches
of
the
places
where
they
should
happen
to
quarter
.
Presently
upon
the
receipt
of
this
Letter
,
the
Assembly
was
ordered
to
bring
in
their
Model
of
Church-Government
;
and
those
Resolves
were
urged
afterwards
by
many
hundred
Petitions
,
The
Covena●t
prest
to
be
universally
tak●●
.
and
the
Covenant
prest
to
be
universally
taken
.
Towards
the
end
of
this
month
,
they
had
licked
up
the
form
of
their
Directory
,
but
could
not
agree
about
the
receiving
of
the
Sacrament
;
which
dispute
was
then
committed
.
Hereupon
the
Parliament
proceeded
,
and
voted
the
abolishing
of
the
Common-Prayer-Book
;
The
Comm●n-Prayer
abolished
.
which
gave
some
satisfaction
to
the
Scots
,
yet
not
fully
contended
them
:
they
had
in
the
beginning
of
our
Troubles
openly
named
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
and
prosecuted
him
as
an
Enemy
to
their
Country
,
as
the
great
Incendiary
of
the
broyls
between
both
Nations
,
and
did
not
desist
while
they
had
him
safe
in
the
Tower
;
now
they
would
have
his
life
also
as
a
gratification
of
their
assistance
:
His
head
must
be
danced
off
,
like
St.
Iohn
Baptist's
,
at
the
Musick
of
their
Bag-pipes
.
This
they
publikely
demanded
;
so
that
an
Ordinance
(
for
the
Parliament
durst
not
venture
his
Tryal
at
the
Common-Law
,
as
was
thought
by
some
,
because
of
the
clause
of
that
Bill
of
Attainder
against
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
that
his
Case
should
be
no
precedent
;
and
they
knew
the
Judges
(
though
they
might
pack
a
Jury
that
should
)
would
never
venture
to
condemn
him
:
And
his
tryal
by
Peers
they
vouchsafed
not
,
as
alike
dangerous
)
passed
the
House
of
Commons
,
whereby
he
was
declared
guilty
;
and
that
sent
up
to
the
Lords
for
their
concurrence
,
who
bogled
at
it
,
Sir
David
Hawkins
a
zealous
stickler
for
the
Parliament
.
as
a
very
ill
precedent
;
so
that
it
stuck
for
a
while
,
until
Sir
David
Hawkins
with
his
veterane
Troops
of
Justice-cryers
came
,
bawled
at
the
Lords
House
for
speedy
Execution
of
Delinquents
:
And
then
a
new
Expedient
was
set
on
foot
for
the
better
dispatch
,
that
the
Lords
should
come
and
sit
in
the
House
of
Commons
as
to
this
business
,
and
make
one
work
of
it
;
which
some
of
them
unworthily
did
:
an
ill
Omen
or
Presage
,
what
that
degenerateness
would
come
to
,
when
after
some
of
the
same
persons
sate
there
as
Commoners
.
By
this
trick
,
after
several
brave
Defences
made
at
the
Bar
of
the
Lords
House
,
where
with
might
and
main
his
Enemies
prosecuted
his
Innocence
,
he
was
condemned
;
(
the
main
Argument
against
him
being
used
by
Serjeant
Wild
,
That
he
was
so
guilty
an
offender
,
that
he
wondred
the
people
did
not
pull
him
in
pieces
as
he
came
to
and
fro
to
his
tryal
,
)
and
on
the
tenth
of
Ianuary
brought
to
Tower-hill
,
from
a
most
sound
and
sweet
repose
that
night
,
till
awakened
by
Pennington
the
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
,
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
b●head●d
.
to
go
to
his
Execution
,
whereat
he
was
no
whit
dismayed
,
his
colour
being
as
fresh
in
his
Face
as
ever
it
was
in
his
life
;
which
continued
to
his
last
minute
.
At
his
death
he
made
a
Funeral-sermon
for
himself
,
which
was
in
lieu
of
a
Speech
,
where
this
is
(
as
he
hinted
it
)
to
be
observed
,
Vide
Speech●s
.
that
though
other
Arch-bishops
had
lost
their
lives
in
this
manner
,
yet
not
the
same
way
:
He
being
the
first
English-man
that
ever
was
condemned
by
an
Ordinance
of
Parliament
.
His
body
was
decently
interred
in
Alhallows
Barkin
,
London
,
according
to
the
Rites
and
Ceremonies
of
the
Church
of
England
,
Buried
at
Alhallows
Barking
,
London
.
of
which
he
had
been
the
chief
Defender
and
Assertor
;
leaving
Sir
Iohn
Robinson
his
Nephew
,
(
since
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
)
to
inherit
the
remains
of
his
Estate
,
and
the
rewards
of
his
great
Services
and
Munificences
to
this
Church
and
Kingdom
.
Abington
had
been
made
a
Garrison
ever
since
the
Earl
of
Essex
marched
into
Cornwal
;
and
became
so
troublesome
a
neighbour
to
Oxford
,
and
the
Country
adjacent
,
by
the
continual
excursions
of
the
Horse
,
which
were
never
less
than
a
Regiment
,
that
Colonel
Sir
Henry
Gage
(
to
prevent
this
perpetual
annoyance
,
Sir
Henry
Gage
C●l
.
for
the
King
,
shot
neer
Abingdon
.
no
man
daring
to
travail
upon
any
of
the
Roads
towards
Oxford
with
provisions
or
other
business
,
more
especially
hindering
the
intercourse
betwixt
Oxford
and
Wallingford
)
resolved
to
build
a
Fort
at
Culham-bridge
,
within
a
mile
of
Abington
,
on
the
London-road
,
to
repress
the
boldness
of
those
parties
,
who
were
constantly
out
thereabouts
upon
designes
.
In
the
attempt
thereof
,
and
to
obstruct
so
dangerous
an
obstacle
to
their
Eruption
,
the
Abingdon-forces
under
Colonel
Brown
Sally
out
,
Engage
,
and
maintain
a
short
fight
with
the
Royalists
,
with
little
hopes
of
prevailing
,
till
an
Unfortunate
shot
wounded
Colonel
Gage
in
the
head
,
of
which
he
dyed
as
soon
as
he
came
to
Oxford
;
and
so
that
project
was
laid
aside
.
The
King
had
so
closely
prosecuted
his
intentions
for
Peace
,
that
it
being
in
the
depth
of
Winter
,
both
Armies
in
their
quarters
,
and
the
two
Factions
of
Presbytery
and
Independency
jealous
of
one
another
,
the
modelling
of
the
Army
requiring
also
some
gain
and
advantage
of
time
;

The

of
,
The
main
things
to
be
treated
of
were
,
Religon
,
Militia
,
and
Ireland
.
were
,
first
Religion
;
second
,
Militia
,
third
,
Ireland
.
For
Religion
,
the
King
would
not
alter
Government
by
Bishops
,
but
would
give
way
to
some
amendments
in
the
Liturgie
upon
advice
.
For
the
Militia
,
he
would
consent
some
Forts
and
Garrisons
should
remain
in
the
Parliaments
hands
pro
tempore
,
The
King
refuseth
to
alter
Religion
by
Bishops
,
but
would
admit
of
some
amendments
in
the
Liturgie
.
for
security
of
the
agreement
;
the
King
having
the
nomination
of
half
the
Commissioners
.
For
Ireland
,
the
King
would
not
abrogate
the
Cessation
,
until
he
were
sure
the
Rebellion
here
were
at
an
end
;
having
,
to
avoid
that
popular
demand
,
and
to
prevent
any
insisting
upon
that
point
,
given
Order
to
the
Marquess
of
Ormond
to
conclude
a
Peace
,
but
however
to
continue
the
Cessation
for
a
year
;
for
which
he
should
promise
the
Irish
,
He
is
willing
some
Garrisons
should
be
in
the
Parliaments
hands
pro
tempore
,
but
will
not
abrogate
the
Cessation
in
Ireland
.
if
he
could
have
it
no
cheaper
,
to
joyn
with
them
against
the
Scots
and
Inchiqueen
:
for
by
that
time
,
the
King
said
he
hoped
his
condition
would
be
such
,
as
the
Irish
should
be
glad
to
accept
of
less
,
or
he
enabled
to
grant
more
.
The
Parliament
on
the
contrary
side
,
insisted
,
as
to
Religion
,
upon
the
taking
away
of
the
Kings
Ecclesiastical
Jurisdiction
,
his
Donations
and
Temporalties
of
Bishopricks
,
his
First-fruits
and
Tenths
of
Bishops
,
Deans
,
Deans
and
Chapters
;
not
offering
to
constitute
the
least
dependance
of
the
Clergy
upon
the
King
,
to
the
Presbyterian
mode
;
compensating
him
with
Bishops
Lands
,
in
lieu
of
all
those
;
which
of
themselves
,
if
dissov'd
,
belong
unto
the
Crown
.
For
Ireland
,
the
King
should
annul
the
Cessation
,
and
leave
the
management
of
that
Kingdome
to
the
Scots
.
And
for
the
Militia
,
that
it
should
be
managed
altogether
by
such
Commissioners
as
they
should
appoint
;
so
that
the
King
should
not
have
the
least
power
of
his
own
to
assist
his
Neighbours
and
Allies
,
or
defend
himself
at
home
.
They
had
also
so
obstructed
any
hopes
of
a
conclusion
,
by
limiting
the
time
of
the
Treaty
to
twenty
days
,
and
trying
up
the
Commissioners
with
such
limitations
,
that
the
good
effect
thereof
was
despaired
at
the
entrance
into
it
.
Much
perswasion
was
used
by
the
Kings
side
,
to
the
Parliaments
Commissioners
,
that
they
would
gain
longer
time
,
and
that
the
Treaty
might
be
revived
;
but
all
to
no
purpose
.
And
to
this
matter
,
notable
is
that
of
one
Mr.
Love
,
Mr.
Love
a
strange
Incendiary
.
who
by
some
private
means
or
other
was
admitted
to
Preach
before
the
said
Commissioners
there
;
where
he
said
,
It
was
as
possible
for
Heaven
and
Hell
,
as
the
King
and
Parliament
to
agree
;
strange
words
to
be
uttered
in
such
a
juncture
,
and
in
such
a
place
,
and
before
such
an
Assembly
!
but
the
end
of
that
man
shewed
him
the
folly
and
wickedness
of
that
expression
.
So
after
two
and
twenty
dayes
Conference
,
the
Treaty
ended
in
vain
.
The
Treaty
ended
in
vain
.
The
Kings
Commissioners
complained
of
this
Love
;
but
answer
was
made
,
he
was
none
of
their
train
,
but
the
Parliament
should
be
informed
of
him
,
who
would
do
justice
upon
him
;
but
the
business
was
husht
.
In
the
interim
,
the
Lord
Macguire
,
The
Lord
Macguire
and
Col.
Mac
Mahon
hanged
drawn
and
quartered

and
one
Colonel
Mac
Mahon
,
who
were
,
as
was
said
before
,
seized
in
Dublin
the
night
of
the
breaking
forth
of
the
Rebellion
in
Ireland
,
and
had
been
Prisoners
in
the
Tower
ever
since
,
and
some
while
before
broke
out
from
thence
,
and
wading
over
the
Moat
escaped
away
,
being
found
in
Drury-Lane
London
,
at
a
private
house
,
were
brought
to
the
Kings-Bench-Bar
,
(
though
Macguire
pleaded
his
Priviledge
of
Peerage
,
and
insisted
peremptorily
on
it
,
while
over-ruled
by
the
Court
and
Parliament
together
)
and
there
after
a
Tryal
,
both
sentenced
for
their
Treason
,
to
be
hang'd
,
drawn
and
quartered
;
which
they
underwent
with
a
great
deal
of
stoutness
,
and
their
way
of
Piety
;
clearing
the
King
from
any
privity
to
that
Rebellion
.

a
most
important
and
strong
Garrison
for
the
King
,
was
by
some
treachery
not
yet
brought
to
light
,
betrayed
just
at
the
conclusion
of
the
Treaty
aforesaid
to
Major
General
Mitton
for
the
Parliament
:
It
seems
the
Parliament
rather
tampered
under-hand
,
than
dealt
fair
above-board
,
and
openly
,
during
the
time
thereof
.
For
this
good
service
,
the
said
Major-General
Mitton
,
being
a
Member
of
the
House
of

,
at
his
coming
thither
,
had
the
thanks

given
him

hath

thanks

Abundance
of
Persons
of
Quality
were
surprized
in

place

thinking
it
one
of
the
securest
Retreats
in
these
parts

the
List

sort
:
Eight

Sir
Marmaduke
Langdale
,
an
eminent
man
for
the
King
in
the
North
,
was
sent
from
Oxford
to
relieve
Ponfract-Castle
in
York-shire
,
Besieged
by
the
Forces
of
the
Lord
Fairfax
:
This
Expedition
he
so
prudently
and
valiantly
underwent
,
that
in
his
way
thither
he
routed
Colonel
Rossiter
,
who
opposed
him
at
Melton-Mowbray
,
and
passed
forward
;
and
with
resolution
,
though
twice
inferiour
in
number
,
so
charged
the
Besiegers
,
that
after
a
sharp
conflict
he
beat
them
from
the
Siege
,
and
having
relieved
the
Castle
,
departed
back
again
to
the
assistance
of
the

threatned

a
fresh
and

Army

in
a
Discontent
to
Eltham-House
in
Kent
,
where
not
long
after
he
deceased
,
as
in
due
time
shall
be
declared
.
At
that
same
time
that
Shrewsbury
was
thus
surprised
,
the
Kings
Forces
had
a
Success
,
A
notable
success
at
the
Devises
,
under
Sir
Jacob
Ashley
.
for
the
handsomness
,
though
not
for
the
consequence
of
it
,
very
Notable
.
The
Kings
Forces
had
Garrisoned
a
repayred
Castle
at
the
Devises
,
and
Colonel
Devereux
had
a
Garrison
at
Roudon-House
between
Malmsbury
and
that
;
which
therefore
for
its
inconvenience
was
Besieged
.
Colonel
Stephens
of
Glocester-shire
came
to
its
Relief
with
200
Horse
,
and
as
many
Foot
from
Malmsbury
,
and
forced
his
passage
with
provision
into
the
House
.
While
he
stayed
to
take
further
order
for
the
security
of
the
place
,
the
Royalists
surround
the
House
again
,
cast
up
a
Work
where
he
entred
,
and
keep
him
in
;
and
Sir
Iacob
Ashley
comes
to
second
the
Siege
with
3000
men
.
Massey
understanding
this
,
did
what
he
could
to
draw
off
Sir
Iacob
,
by
facing
Cyrencester
,
and
sending
a
Party
of
Horse
from
Glocester
,
which
were
to
joyn
with
a
like
number
from
Malmsbury
again
;
but
all
in
vain
:
the
besieged
were
compelled
at
last
to
render
themselves
upon
very
hard
terms
and
conditions
.
About
this
time
there
was
a
kind
of
Faction
in
the
Kings
Court
at
Oxford
,
and
some
altercations
betwixt
the
parties
concerning
the
Kings
Council
;
A
Faction
at
Oxford
;
the
Lords
,
Savil
,
Percy
,
and
Andover
,
confined
.
so
that
some
Lords
,
Savil
,
Percy
,
and
Andover
,
were
confined
;
and
the
Parliament
,
that
this
,
the
Members
of
the
same
Houses
at
Westminster
who
adhered
to
the
King
,
who
by
the
Kings
Order
were
the
year
before
convened
at
Oxford
,
were
for
some
Reasons
and
Discontents
arisen
about
the
Army
,
The
Parliament
Adjourned
.
Adjourned
till
the
10
of
October
.
But
that
Parliament
signified
nothing
.
The
House
of
Commons
Voted
,
that
in
their
new
Generals
Commission
,
the
words
,
The
Parliament's
new
Generals
Commission
.
For
preservation
of
his
Majesties
Person
,
should
be
left
out
;
and
accordingly
they
were
so
.
And
so
ended
the
year
1644.
the
last
of
the
Kings
Felicity
.
Anno
Dom.
1645.
WE
will
begin
this
year
,
though
we
post-date
the
time
,
that
we
may
recite
all
the
exploits
in
Scotland
,
The
Actions

together
with
the
actions
of
the
renowned
and
ever-glorious
Marquess
of
Montross

Governour
of
that
Kingdom

The
year
before
,
he
came
into
Scotland
,
attended
onely
by
two
,
Mr.
William
Rollock
,
and
Mr.
Sibbalds
,
in
whose
company
he
came
at
last
to
his
Cousin
Mr.
Patrick
Graham
in
the
Sheriffdom
of
Perth
,
with
whom
he
staid
a
while
disguised
,
till
he
had
sent
to
discover
the
State
of
the
Kingdom
.
He
had
all
along
given
the
King
information
of
the
Scots
Rebellions
,
and
siding
with
the
Parliament
;
but
Hamilton
was
over-trusted
.
Much
ado
he
had
to
pass
,
the
ways
being
so
strictly
guarded
,
while
the
Scotch
Army
was
in
England

of
a
great
Force
,

where
at
Tepper-Moor
he
obtained
a
great
Victory
;
his
Souldiers
,
for
want
of
Arms
and
Ammunition
,
making
use
of
the
Stones
lying
advantagiously
on
the
Fighting-ground
.
Here
he
killed
no
less
then
2000
men
;
whereupon
Perth-City
opened
its
Gates
to
the
Conquerour
.
To
withstand
and
repress
so
dangerous
an
Enemy
within
the
Bowels
of
the
Kingdom
,
another
Army
was
raised
,
and
put
under
more
Experienced
Captains
.
In
the
mean
while
,
Montross
had
fallen
into
Argyles
Country
,

,
Who
with

ma●ch
against
him
with
two
several
Armies
.
where
he
made
miserable
havock
,
intending
utterly
to
break
the
Spirits
of
that
people
,
who
were
so
surely
Engaged
to
Arguiles
side
.
Here
the
Earl
of
Seaforth
followed
him
with
an
Army
,
and
the
Marquess
of
Argyle
had
another
of
the
other
side
.
Montross
therefore
resolved
to
fight
with
one
first
;
and
so
fell
upon
that
party
under
Argyle
;
which
he
totally
routed
,
killed
1500
on
the
place
,
the
rest
escaped
;

so
the
Marquess
of
Montross
bent
his
way

he
defeated

being
newly
put
under
the
command
of
Colonel
Hurry
;
afterwards
offers
Battel
to
Bayly
,
who
had
another
Army
ready
to
fight
him
;
but
he
waited
for
advantages
:
whereupon
he
marches
after
Hurry
,
who
had
recruited
,
and
was
pressing
upon
the
Lord
Gourdon
(
having
taken
Dundee
in
his
way
)
and
at
Alderne
discomfits
him
,
killing
1800

and
dispersing
the
rest
.
He
seeks
out
Bayly
,
to
whom
was
joyned
the
Earl
of
Lindsey
;
and
at
Alesford-hills
forced
them
to
fight
,
utterly
routed
them
,
and
obtained
a
remarkable
Victory
:
But
that
which
lessened
the
Triumph
,
was

.
After
this
,
he
comes
to
St.
Iohnstons
,
where
he
alarm'd
the
Parliament
there
sitting
;
and
so
into

Lowlands
,
where
the
Kirk
had
another
Army
in
readiness
,
under

of

aforesaid

place
called

Armies
met
;
and

cruel
Battel

was
;
but
in
conclusion
,
Success
and
Victory
Crowned
Montross's
Head
,
and
almost
6000
of
his
Enemies
were
slain
in
this
fight
,
the
pursuit
being
eagerly
followed
for
a
great
way
;
the
Covenanters
at
first
fighting
very
resolutely
;
but
the
fortune
of
Montross
still
Prevailed
.
David
Lesley
routed
.
The
Nobility
now
every
where
readily
assisted
him
,
and
the
Towns
and
Cities
declared
for
him
;
The
N●bility
&
Gentry
assist
him
.
so
that
the
Kingdom
,
which
afforded
men
and
assistance
for
the
Invasion
of
another
Kingdom
,
was
not
now
able
to
defend
it self
;
the
Governour
(
so
was
Montross
dignified
)
being
seized
of
all
places
almost
of
strength
,
even
as
far
as
Edinburgh
,
where
some
Royal
prisoners
were
delivered
to
him
.
The
Estates
of
Scotland
therefore
sent
for
David
Lesley
,
while
Montross
expected
Forces
from
the
King
under
the
Lord
Digby
;
which
staid
too
long
,
and
were
afterwards
defeated
at
Sherburn
in
York-shire
.
Upon
the
arrival
of
Lesley
,
most
of
the
Forces
under
Montross
,
not
dreading
any
Enemie
so
soon
out
of
England
,
were
departed
home
;
so
that
Lesley
finding
Montross
in
a
very
weak
condition
at
Philips-Haugh
,
fell
upon
him
before
he
could
retreat
,
almost
before
his
Scouts
could
give
him
intelligence
,
and
there
routs
him
.
He
at
first
resolved
to
lose
his
life
with
the
field
;
but
being
perswaded
of
better
hopes
,
he
resolutely
charged
thorow
,
and
brought
the
flying
remains
of
his
Army
safe
into
the
High-lands
,
where
he
began
new
Levies
:
But
the
fortune
of
the
King
failing
every
where
,
he
was
the
next
year
ordered
by
the
King
,
The
King
orders
Montross
to
disband
.
then
in
the
Scots
custody
,
to
disband
,
and
depart
the
Kingdom
.
And
so
we
leave
him
till
a
more
unhappy
revolution
of
time
.
In
the
beginning
of
this
year
Colonel
Massey
received
a
defeat
at
Lidbury
,
the
manner
thus
:
Prince
Rupert
,
Colonel
Massey
defeated
at
Lidbury
by
Prince
Rupert
.
who
had
for
some
time
quartered
thereabouts
to
make
new
Levies
,
had
intercepted
some
Scouts
,
and
by
them
understood
the
Col.
had
taken
up
his
quarters
there
,
intending
to
fall
upon
Sir
Iohn
Winter
,
who
had
been
his
restless
adversary
throughout
the
War
in
Gloucester-shire
,
and
who
being
called
into
the
Army
,
had
tired
his
house
,
which
he
had
maintained
as
a
Garison
against
all
opposition
:
When
the
Prince
was
within
half
a
mile
of
the
Town
,
Massey
took
the
Alarm
,
commanded
his
Horse
to
mount
,
and
gave
order
for
his
Foot
to
march
,
that
the
Royalists
might
not
get
before
them
,
which
the
Prince
aimed
at
.
A
furious
Charge
the
said
Horse
maintained
,
consisting
principally
of
Officers
,
among
whom
was
Kirl
that
betrayed
Monmouth
:
at
last
Massey
was
forced
to
flye
,
narrowly
escaping
taking
,
Major
Backhouse
his
great
second
being
mortally
wounded
,
He
is
forced
to
flye
,
and
narrowly
escapes
.
with
divers
others
,
and
some
common
Souldiers
taken
Prisoners
,
the
rest
fled
to
Gloucester
in
haste
with
the
Governour
.
But
that
which
deservedly
ought
to
begin
the
year
,
was
the
investiture
of
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
in
the
supreme
Command
of
the
Army
:
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
takes
command
of
the
Army
.
It
was
the
first
of
April
when
he
received
his
Commission
,
and
on
the
twenty
third
of
April
he
went
from
London
to
Windsor
to
perfect
the
new
Model
;
where
he
continued
in
that
troublesome
affair
to
the
end
of
the
month
.
In
the
mean
time
Colonel
Cromwel
(
who
had
been
commanded
out
of
the
West
,
by
the
Ordinance
of
the
Parliament
against
Members
continuance
in
any
Military
command
,
whose
limitations
of
forty
days
was
then
expired
)
came
thither
to
salute
the
General
,
and
next
morning
was
stopped
there
with
a
dispensation
from
his
attendance
on
the
House
for
forty
days
longer
(
which
was
extended
to
the
length
.
)
For
Prince
Rupert
and
his
brother
Maurice
had
gathered
a
competent
Army
of
Horse
in
Worcester-shire
,
Prince
Rupert
and
Prince
Maurice
raise
Horse
in
Worcester-shire
.
and
the
confines
of
Wales
,
and
were
ordered
by
the
King
to
come
and
fetch
him
off
with
his
Infantry
and
Train
of
Artillery
from
Oxford
.
To
which
purpose
a
Convoy
of
Horse
was
presently
dispatched
,
consisting
of
near
2000
,
being
the
Regiments
of
the
Queen
,
the
Earl
of
Northampton
,
the
Lord
Wilmot
,
and
Colonel
Palmer
;
while
the
Princes
advanced
in
a
body
after
them
.
Upon
advertisement
thereof
,
the
Committee
of
both
Kingdoms
recommended
it
to
the
General
,
to
send
Lieutenant-General
Cromwel
with
some
Horse
to
march
beyond
Oxford
,
and
lye
on
the
way
to
Worcester
,
to
intercept
the
same
Convoy
.
Cromwel
sent
to
intercept
the
Kings
Forces
,
routs
them
.
With
a
party
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
therefore
then
on
the
field
,
neither
mustered
nor
recruited
,
as
of
the
new
Model
,
Cromwel
immediately
marched
,
found
the
enemy
,
and
engaged
them
neer
Islip-bridge
,
routed
them
,
took
400
Horse
,
and
200
Prisoners
,
and
the
Qeens
Standard
.
The
Queens
Standard
taken
.
He
summons
Blechington
house
;
the
Governour
Col.
Windebank
delivers
it
.
And
to
make
up
this
a
kind
of
a
victory
,
presently
summoned
Blechington-house
within
four
miles
of
Oxford
,
where
Colonel
Windebank
commanded
,
and
whither
some
of
these
routed
Troops
had
fled
for
shelter
.
At
his
approach
,
he
instantly
summoned
it
in
a
very
threatning
Message
,
if
he
rendred
it
not
immediately
,
(
his
Horse
casting
out
words
for
the
Foot
to
fall
on
,
when
there
was
none
there
.
)
The
governour
over-ruled
by
his
fair
young
Bride
,
and
some
Ladies
that
were
come
thither
to
visit
,
and
frighted
with
the
menace
,
delivered
the
House
,
with
all
the
Arms
and
Amunition
therein
.
For
which
,
the
hopeful
young
Gentleman
,
for
all
the
prayers
and
intreaties
of
his
Wife
,
And
was
therefore
shot
to
death
.
and
the
merit
of
his
Father
,
was
shot
to
death
against
Merton-Colledge-Wall
in
Oxford
;
to
the
great
regret
afterwards
of
the
King
,
when
he
understood
the
business
,
and
for
which
he
was
highly
displeased
with
Prince
Rupert
.
After
the
taking
of
this
Blechingdon-House
,
Cromwel
sent
the
Prisoners
away
to
Alisbury
,
and
slighted
that
Garrison
;
and
having
intelligence
of
a
party
of
350
Foot
under
Sir
William
Vaughan
,
who
were
marching
that
way
towards
Radcot-bridge
,
Cromwel
takes
Sir
William
Vaughan
at
Radcot
-
bridge
.
he
pursued
them
,
and
took
the
said
Sir
William
,
Lieutenant-Colonel
Littleton
,
and
about
200
more
Prisoners
.
His
next
attempt
was
upon
Farringdon
,
having
borrowed
600
Foot
from
Abingdon
,
of
Major-General
Brown
;
here
he
lost
some
50
men
withont
any
success
,
and
so
gave
over
the
design
;
but
before
he
could
get
off
,
was
attaqued
by
part
of
General
Gorings
Horse
,
commanded
by
himself
,
then
newly
come
out
of
the
West
from
Taunton-siege
;
who
by
his
valour
so
ordered
his
business
,
that
he
gave
Cromwel
the
first
brush
he
received
,
Goring
gives
Cromwel
his
first
brush
.
taking
Major
Bethel
Prisoner
,
and
three
Colours
;
and
then
retreated
to
Letchlade
,
in
order
to
his
return
to
strengthen
and
renew
the
siege
against
the
aforesaid
Town
of
Taunton
.
The
new
modeled
Army
on
the
first
of
May
began
to
march
,
The
new
modeled
Army
march
to
Blandford
in
Dorset-shire
:
take
Lieutenant-Col
.
Hacket
.
after
a
debate
whether
it
should
march
Westward
to
the
relief
of
Taunton
,
or
to
besiege
Oxford
.
The
first
designment
was
followed
;
and
so
on
the
7
of
May
,
from
Windsor
,
General
Fairfax
reached
Blandford
in
Dorset-shire
,
whither
he
marched
without
any
opposition
,
save
a
little
skirmish
betwixt
some
of
his
Troops
and
one
Lieutenant-Colonel
Hacket
,
whom
they
took
Prisoner
.
The
King
taking
this
opportunity
of
the
Armies
marching
Westward
,
The
King
leaving
Oxford
,
takes
the
field
.
drew
his
Forces
and
Artillery
out
of
Oxford
into
the
field
:
Which
the
General
foreseeing
,
had
left
Cromwel
and
Major-General
Brown
to
attend
his
motions
;
but
they
being
not
of
strength
sufficient
to
impede
his
Marches
,
or
Conjuncture
with
Prince
Rupert
,
who
advanced
out
of
Hereford-shire
and
Worcester-shire
,
Fairfax
was
recalled
out
of
the
West
,
Fairfax
recalled
from
the
West
,
but
leaves
part
of
his
Army
there
.
and
ordered
by
the
Committee
of
both
Kingdomes
to
allot
onely
a
portion
of
his
Army
for
Taunton
;
which
was
a
Brigade
consisting
of
four
Regiments
,
the
Supreme
Command
whereof
was
given
unto
the
eldest
Colonel
Welden
.
Upon
approach
of
those
Forces
,
the
Royalists
thinking
it
had
been
the
whole
Army
,
(
for
Fairfax
made
such
semblance
,
marching
as
far
as
Dorchester
with
the
said
relief
)
drew
off
,
and
gave
them
the
liberty
of
entrance
the
fourteenth
of
May
,
where
they
were
welcomed
by
the
resolute
Governour
,
afterwards
General
Blake
,
a
man
more
famous
in
the
Times
succeeding
.
General
Fairfax
on
the
14
of
May
likewise
arrived
at
Newbery
,
where
two
days
he
rested
his
wearied
Foot
,
and
there
again
received
new
Orders
to
lay
Siege
to
Oxford
;
Oxford
besieged
the
second
time
.
and
Cromwel
and
Brown
were
recalled
from
following
the
King
,
to
joyn
with
the
General
in
that
Enterprise
:
Nevertheless
a
party
of
2500
Horse
and
Dragoons
under
Colonel
Vermuden
(
Cromwel
not
being
so
acceptable
to
that
Nation
)
were
sent
to
joyn
with
the
Scots
in
their
march
Southwards
.
Fifteen
days
the
Parliaments
Army
lay
before
the
City
,
while
the
King
was
at
liberty
,
and
irresistable
in
the
Field
.
Fairfax
despairing
of
reducing
the
Town
,
never
sent
in
a
Summons
;
thereby
intending
to
save
the
first
reputation
of
the
Army
,
when
it
should
rise
from
thence
without
it
.
Nothing
occurred
of
any
remark
,
during
this
Siege
,
but
that
a
Bridge
was
laid
over
the
River
for
a
Communication
,
and
a
resolute
Sally
made
by
the
Garrison
upon
a
Corps
du
Gard
neer
Heddington-hill
,
which
they
surprized
,
killed
twelve
,
and
took
the
rest
,
which
made
up
100
Prisoners
,
who
were
Exchanged
for
the
like
number
which
the
Adjutant-General
Fleming
took
neer
Newnham
,
under
the
command
of
Captain
Gardiner
,
who
had
been
sent
Prisoners
to
Abingdon
,
A
cruel
custome
at
Abingdon
,
where
a
cruel
custom
had
been
practised
of
hanging
all
the
Irish
without
any
manner
of
Tryal
;
under
which
notion
,
very
many
English
also
suffered
:
A
barbarity
so
common
,
that
it
grew
into
the
Proverb
of
Abingdon-Law
.
Borstal
-
house
besieged
.
Gaunt
-
house
surrendred
.
Borstal-house
was
likewise
besieged
by
Skippon
,
whither
the
General
went
himself
,
but
to
no
purpose
.
Gaunt-house
being
battered
by
Colonel
Raynsborough
,
and
a
breach
made
after
a
resolute
answer
,
was
glad
to
abate
from
its
stubbornness
,
and
take
Conditions
upon
quarter
from
the
Enemy
.
But
while
General
Fairfax
trifled
at
Oxford
,
news
came
that
the
King
having
relieved
Chester
,
Chester
distressed
;
Relieved
by
the
King
.
distressed
by
Sir
William
Brereton
and
the
Neighbouring
County-forces
,
was
now
marching
towards
Leicester
,
and
the
Association
;
the
Scots
Army
,
instead
of
advancing
against
the
King
,
being
gone
more
Northward
towards
Westmerland
,
their
own
affairs
at
home
so
requiring
:
And
also
that
General
Goring
,
Goring
,
Hopton
,
and
Greenvile
joyn
,
and
besiege
Taunton
.
Leicester
Stormed
and
taken
by
Prince
Rupert
,
May
21.
Sir
Ralph
Hopton
,
and
Sir
Richard
Greenvile
,
had
joyned
all
their
Forces
against
Colonel
Weldens
Brigade
,
in
a
manner
besieging
them
,
and
the
Town
of
Taunton
together
.
And
that
which
brought
up
the
Rear
of
these
intelligences
was
worst
of
all
,
that
the
King
had
taken
Leicester
by
Storm
,
the
manner
thus
.
After
Prince
Rupert
had
summoned
it
,
wherein
he
offered
quarter
to
the
Town
,
the
Committee
of
that
County
then
resident
there
,
assembled
all
the
Commanders
,
and
read
the
Summons
unto
them
;
by
whom
it
was
resolved
to
give
answer
next
morning
.
The
Trumphet
was
no
sooner
returned
,
but
a
Drum
was
presently
dispatcht
for
a
full
answer
within
an
hour
;
which
while
they
debated
beyond
their
stint
,
the
Kings
Guns
played
from
the
Battery
,
and
all
Souldiers
were
commanded
to
their
respective
Posts
;
the
great
and
small
Shot
never
intermitting
that
day
and
night
;
when
next
morning
they
Stormed
at
six
or
seven
places
.
At
Newark-breach
they
entered
first
,
where
Colonel
St.
George
was
slain
with
a
great
shot
,
in
a
Bravery
and
Gallantry
of
Courage
,
venturing
upon
the
mouth
of
the
Cannon
.
The
Works
being
seized
,
there
yet
remained
a
Work
of
greater
Bloudshed
,
the
Market-place
,
where
the
Defendants
had
drawn
up
their
Artillery
,
and
for
three
hours
space
maintained
the
fight
at
the
Cross
therein
.
They
were
at
last
over-powered
;
the
Committee-men
,
with
Sir
Robert
Pye
,
He
takes
Sir
Robert
Pye
:
the
Town
is
plundered
.
Colonel
Hacker
,
and
Colonel
Grey
,
taken
Prisoners
,
and
put
into
custody
;
onely
Sir
Robert
had
some
more
respect
shewed
him
.
The
Town
was
plundered
,
and
some
of
the
Inhabitants
for
the
present
secured
;
the
spoil
part
of
it
carried
away
to
the
Kings
adjacent
Garrison
of
Newark
,
Ashby-Delazouch
and
Belvoyr-Castle
:
But
the
Parliament-forces
found
very
neer
as
good
Booty
in
those
sudden
spoils
that
came
from
Naseby
.
All
men
upon
this
Success
looked
upon
the
Kings
Army
as
far
the
more
puissant
.
The
Parliament
almost
driven
to
despair
.
Great
Fears
and
Distrusts
were
arisen
in
the
Parliament
it self
,
not
much
different
from
despair
;
several
Members
being
over-heard
to
say
in
their
passage
to
the
House
out
of
Westminster-hall
,
that
there
was
no
hopes
but
in
the
Kings
mercy
,
and
that
the
speediest
recourse
thereto
would
be
the
safest
Expedient
for
them
.
And
the
Royal
party
were
as
good
as
Cocksure
(
as
we
say
)
that
the
day
was
their
own
;
which
they
made
appear
,
even
in
London
,
by
all
publike
signes
and
discourses
.
The
King
and
Royalists
too
confident
of
Success
.
The
King
himself
deceived
also
with
this
Lightning
before
his
Ruine
,
which
he
construed
for
the
greatest
Sunshine
of
his
Felicity
,
was
of
the
same
Opinion
;
the
result
whereof
appeared
in
a
Letter
written
to
the
Queen
,
Iune
the
8th
,
where
he
used
this
Expression
.
I
may
without
being
too
sanguine
affirm
,
that
since
this
Rebellion
,
my
affairs
were
never
in
so
hopeful
away
.
But
behold
the
inconstancy
and
fate
of
War
!
This
his
greatest
Exaltation
,
proved
his
utter
Crushing
and
Final
overthrow
,
in
the
approaching
Encounter
at
Naseby
.
For
the
Parliament
being
alarm'd
with
this
imminent
danger
,
gave
speedy
command
to
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
to
rise
from
Oxford
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
ordered
to
give
the
King-Battel
.
and
march
after
the
King
,
and
put
their
disperate
condition
to
the
decision
of
a
Battel
:
For
they
were
now
upon
a
ticklish
Point
;
and
Treachery
and
Division
at
Home
,
with
the
Kings
growing
Success
,
would
no
doubt
improve
to
a
publike
desertion
of
the
Grandees
of
the
Faction
;
than
which
to
them
a
Conquest
could
not
be
worse
,
if
not
advantagious
,
by
linking
and
involving
so
many
in
the
danger
,
that
in
the
multitude
of
the
offenders
they
might
find
shelter
.
The
King
was
now
in
dispute
whether
he
should
turn
his
Arms
to
raise
Oxford
or
Pomfret-siege
,
York-shire
a
long
time
harrased
by
the
Scots
.
march
Southward
or
Northward
:
The
York-shire-men
insisted
on
going
homeward
to
their
own
Country
,
that
had
so
long
been
harrased
by
and
under
the
Dominion
of
the
Scots
;
of
which
opinion
was
Sir
Marmaduke
Langdale
,
and
that
in
going
thitherward
probably
Fairfax
would
rise
and
follow
,
where
some
notable
advantages
might
be
taken
of
him
,
so
far
distanced
from
any
place
or
succour
of
relief
.
Others
were
of
opinion
that
the
King
should
march
into
the
Association
,
The
unresolved
which
way
to
bend
his
Forces
.
and
bending
a
little
Westward
,
joyn
with
General
Goring
,
who
now
again
besieged
Taunton
with
a
gallant
Army
,
and
had
worsted
Colonel
Welden
,
sent
thither
with
succours
as
aforesaid
;
and
then
with
his
United
Forces
,
which
Fairfax
would
be
in
no
case
to
resist
,
to
march
directly
to
London
,
and
put
an
end
to
the
War
.
While
this
Consultation
was
held
,
The
Parliament
order
Fairfax
to
put
their
differences
to
the
decision
of
a
Battel
.
Fairfax
was
ordered
to
rise
from
before
Oxford
by
the
Committee
of
both
Kingdoms
,
who
startled
with
the
loss
of
Leicester
,
resolved
as
before
to
put
the
business
to
an
Issue
by
the
fortune
of
a
Battel
,
if
the
King
would
be
brought
to
it
.
From
Oxford
the
Army
arose
,
intending
to
put
themselves
between
the
King
and
the
Associated
Counties
,
and
fight
him
if
he
advanced
;
if
not
,
to
follow
him
with
the
same
resolution
.
The
5th
of
Iune

miles
from

;
and
Major-General
Brown
put
a
substantial
Garrison
into
Gaunt-house
,
as
a
Curb
and
Bridle
to
the
Oxonians
;
when
news
was
brought
them
that
the
King
was
come
to
Daventry
with
an
intent
to
raise
the
Siege
.
Iune
the
6th
,
the
Army
marched
to
Brickhil
,
designing
Stony-Stratford
for
the
Head-quarter
,
but
that
intelligence
came
that
the
King
had
faced
Northampton
with
some
of
his
Horse
,
and
it
was
thought
dangerous
to
come
so
near
him
,
before
the
Horse
under
Vermuden
were
returned
out
of
Derby●shire
,
and
joyned
with
them
.
Lieutenant-General
Cromwel
,
Cromwel
sent
for
by
the
Parliament
to
command
their
Horse
.
who
had
been
sent
with
three
Troops
of
Horse
a
little
before
to
secure
the
Isle
of
Ely
in
case
the
King
should
make
an
irruption
as
was
supposed
,
was
now
by
a
Letter
from
the
General
to
the
Parliament
desired
to
return
to
the
Army
to
command
the
Horse
;
and
accordingly
by
their
order
he
came
back
with
600
Horse
of
the
Association
:
the
General
writ
likewise
to
Sir
Iohn
Gell
,
Colonel
Rossiter
,
and
the
respective
Governours
of
Warwick
,
Coventry
,
Northampton
,
and
Nottingham
,
to
send
what
Forces
they
could
spare
;
and
then
came
Colonel
Vermuden
with
2500
Horse
and
Dragoons
.
After
this
Conjunction
,
the
Army
marched
within
three
miles
of
Northampton
,
where
they
were
informed
that
the
King
was
still
about
Daventry
,
The
Kings
Foot
and
Carriages
quartered
upon
Burrough-hill
.
Quartering
all
his
Foot
and
Carriages
upon
Burrough-hill
,
as
if
he
intended
to
fight
upon
that
ground
if
they
should
advance
;
but
he
stayed
onely
till
1200
Horse
which
he
had
sent
to
Oxford
,
as
a
Convoy
of
the
Cattel
out
of
Leicester
and
Northampton-shire
were
returned
.
The
Parliaments
Army
then
came
to
Gilsborough
,
The
Parliaments
Army
at
Gilsborough
.
within
five
miles
of
Burrough
hill
;
where
,
as
their
General
was
riding
in
the
morning
(
having
been
stopt
in
the
night
,
which
was
rainy
and
tempestuous
,
by
a
private
Souldier
for
the
Word
,
till
the
Captain
of
the
Guard
being
sent
for
gave
it
him
)
about
three
a
clock
he
discerned
the
Royalists
to
ride
fast
over
the
said
hill
,
making
fires
in
abundance
,
as
if
they
were
firing
their
Huts
;
which
gave
some
cause
to
believe
that
they
were
about
to
march
,
as
it
presently
appeared
.
About
five
in
the
morning
,
Iune
13
,
certain
notice
was
given
,
that
the
Royalists
were
drawn
off
from
Burrough-hill
,
having
stood
in
Arms
all
night
,
being
amazed
that
the
Parliaments
Army
were
so
neer
;
it
having
been
spread
abroad
among
them
,
that
they
were
gone
for
security
into
the
Association
:
So
that
the
Convoy
of
Horse
being
come
from
Oxford
,
The
Kings
Army
march
to
Pomfret
.
they
speedily
resolved
to
march
to
Pomfret
,
thinking
that
Sir
Tho.
Fairfax
would
not
follow
them
;
or
if
he
did
,
they
should
fight
him
with
more
advantage
.
Hereupon
the
Parliaments
Drums
and
Trumpets
began
to
sound
;
Ireton
with
a
strong
party
of
Horse
sent
to
fall
upon
his
Flank
.
and
a
strong
party
of
Horse
was
sent
under
Colonel
Ireton
to
fall
upon
the
flank
of
the
Kings
Army
if
he
should
see
cause
;
and
the
main
Body
came
that
night
to
Gilling
;
the
Kings
Head-Quarters
being
at
Naseby
,
The
Kings
Head-quarters
at

.
Alarm'd
by
Ireton
,
he
goes
to
Harborough
,
and
unhappily
resolves
to
fight
.
which
Ireton
Alarm'd
;
so
that
the
King
not
having
notice
of
it
till
eleven
a
Clock
at
night
,
as
he
had
little
imagined
the
nearness
of
an
Army
,
or
that
they
durst
bear
up
to
him
,
much
amazed
,
left
his
own
quarters
at
that
unseasonable
time
,
and
for
security
went
to
Harborough
,
where
Prince
Rupert
and
the
Van
of
the
Army
quartered
;
and
as
soon
as
he
came
thither
,
sent
to
call
up
his
Nephew
,
resting
himself
in
a
Chair
in
a
low
room
.
In
the
mean
time
a
Council
of
War
was
also
presently
summoned
,
where
it
was
resolved
,
that
seeing
there
was
no
bringing
off
the
Rear
if
they
should
march
further
for
Leicester
,
but
that
the
whole
Army
would
be
put
in
hazard
,
they
should
give
the
enemy
battel
,
relying
upon
the
valour
of
the
Infantry
,
and
in
a
bravery
to
march
back
and
find
him
out
.
But
this
was
more
the
Kings
unhappy
resolution
,
than
his
Commanders
,
who
would
have
avoyded
fighting
till
General
Goring
were
joyned
with
them
.
Naseby
-
fight
.
On
Saturday
,
Iune
the
14
,
a
day
fatal
to
the
King
,
the
Parliamentarians
advanced
by
three
a
clock
in
the
morning
to
retard
the
Royalists
March
with
their
Horse
.
The
Parliament
forces
Rendezvouz
neer
Naseby
:
they
discover
the
Kings
Horse
neer
Harborough
.
By
five
a
clock
they
Rendezvouzed
neer
Naseby
;
and
immediately
great
bodies
of
the
Kings
Horse
were
discerned
on
the
top
of
the
hill
short
of
Harborough
;
which
shewed
that
he
intended
not
to
draw
away
,
but
that
he
would
come
forward
and
engage
them
on
the
ground
where
they
stood
;
which
they
presently
took
the
best
advantage
of
,
possessing
the
edge
of
a
hill
,
from
which
they
afterwards
retreated
100
paces
,
that
the
Kings
Army
,
marching
upon
plain
ground
,
might
not
well
discern
in
what
form
their
Battel
was
drawn
,
nor
see
any
confusion
therein
.
The
King
misinformed
.
The
King
being
falsly
informed
that
the
Parliaments
Army
was
drawing
off
in
haste
and
flying
to
Northampton
,
marched
on
with
the
greater
precipitancy
,
leaving
many
of
his
Ordnance
behind
him
.
The
place
of
the
fight
was

of

wherein
were
five

,
and
the
addition
of
Colonel

Troops
,
who
was
newly
come
when
the
fight
began
,
and
took
his
post
there
:
Commissary-General
Ireton
commanded
the
left
Wing
of
Horse
and
Dragoons
;
and
the
General
and
Major-General
Skippon
the
main
Battel
of
Foot
.
Both
the
Wings
of
Horse
charged
together
upon
the
King
's
,
who
were
drawn
in
the
same
Order
,
and
marched
swiftly
,
but
very
regularly
upon
the
Enemy
.
Colonel
Whaley
,
being
in
the
right
Wing
,
charged
first
two
Divisions
of
Horse
of
the
Kings
left
Wing
,
commanded
by
the
Lord
Langdale
,
who
made
a
gallant
resistance
,
firing
at
a
very
close
charge
,
and
came
to
the
Sword
;
but
were
by
force
Routed
and
driven
back
to
Prince
Ruperts
Regiment
,
being
the
Reserve
of
the
Kings
Foot
.
But
the
whole
Right
Wing
of
the
Parliaments
advancing
(
which
was
with
some
difficulty
,
by
reason
of
a
Coney-warren
they
passed
)
they
were
totally
routed
,
after
a
Rally
made
,
and
put
to
flight
,
from
which
they
never
returned
to
their
ground
again
;
so
that
in
this
part
there
was
an
absolute
Conquest
.

.
Ireton
taken
Prisoner
,
and
(
the
fortune
of
the
day
changing
)
is
released
.
The
success
of
the
left
Wing
,
which
charged
the
right
Wing
of
the
Kings
,
was
quite
contrary
:
Prince
Rupert
commanding
it
,
according
to
his
wonted
custome
,
charged
furiously
,
and
broke
in
upon
and
routed
the
three
rightmost
Divisions
of
that
left
Wing
,
which
was
also
distressed
by
a
Brigade
of
the
Kings
Foot
,
in
which
Ireton
himself
charged
,
and
therein
being
run
through
the
Thigh
with
a
Pike
,
and
into
the
face
with
a
Halbert
,
was
taken
Prisoner
,
and
kept
so
;
till
the
battel
and
fortune
of
the
day
changing
,
he
changed
his
condition
,
giving
his
Keeper
that
liberty
which
he
timely
offered
,
and
came
over
to
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
.
The
left
Wing
being
thus
routed
,
Prince
Rupert
pursued
his
advantage
and
success
almost
to
Naseby-Town
;
in
his
return
summoning
the
Train
,
and
offering
them
Quarter
;
who
instead
of
accepting
it
,
fired
lustily
upon
him
;
who
despairing
of
forcing
it
,
being
well
guarded
by
Fire-locks
,
and
perceiving
the
Success
of
the
right
Wing
of
Horse
,
retreated
in
great
hast
to
the
rescue
of
his
friends
,
whom
he
found
in
such
general
distress
,
that
instead
of
attempting
any
thing
in
their
Relief
,
being
close
followed
in
the
Rear
by
the
Parliaments
Horse
of
both
Wings
,
who
were
joyned
,
he
stopped
not
until
he
came
to
the
ground
where
the
King
was
rallying
his
broken
Forces
himself
in
person
.
In
the
main
Battel
,
the
Kings
Regiment
,
Sir
Bernard
Ashley's
and
Sir
George
Lisle's
Tertia's
stood
manfully
to
it
;
their
Horse
being
in
the
Rear
of
them
,
but
could
no
way
assist
them
,
being
kept
from
it
by
part
of
the
Enemies
Horse
,
who
kept
them
in
action
;
The
Kings
Foot
over-powered
by
the
Parliaments
Horse
.
the
other
part
fell
in
with
their
own
Foot
,
and
joyntly
poured
their
whole
strength
upon
the
Kings
Infantry
,
which
now
,
except
one
Tertia
,
were
all
at
mercy
,
the
Reserves
being
likewise
routed
.
This
standing
parcel
of
Foot
Cromwel
endeavoured
to
break
with
his
Horse
;
attempting
them
in
Flank
,
Front
,
and
Rear
,
but
in
vain
,
till
the
Generals
own
Regiment
of
Foot
came
up
,
and
fell
in
with
the
butt-end
of
their
Musquets
;
the
Horse
Charging
them
at
the
same
time
,
and
so
trampled
them
down
.
The
King
had
now
nothing
in
the
Field
but
his
Horse
,
His
Cavalry
in
great
distress
.
(
where
he
himself
was
)
which
he
had
put
in
as
good
order
as
the
time
and
the
near
pressing
of
the
Enemy
would
permit
:
which
Fairfax
perceiving
,
he
resolved
to
stay
for
his
Foot
,
who
were
a
quarter
of
a
mile
behind
him
,
that
he
might
not
put
the
day
in
hazard
again
.
As
soon
as
they
came
up
,
the
Horse
opened
at
great
distance
to
receive
their
Foot
in
the
midst
of
them
,
and
stood
again
in
the
same
form
of
Battalia
as
before
the
commencement
of
the
Fight
;
having
not
onely
the
advantage
of
ground
,
but
the
Kings
Artillery
,
who
besides
had
no
Foot
to
entertain
the
levelled
Volleys
against
his
Cavalry
.
During
this
respite
,
Okey's
Dragoons
do
notable
Execution
on
the
Kings
Horse
.
the
Dragoons
of
Fairfax
under
Colonel
Okey
advanced
(
a
person
miserable
by
nothing
more
than
his
valour
,
which
betrayed
him
to
the
Artifices
of
Cromwel
in
the
matter
of
the
King
)
and
with
notable
courage
and
smartness
fired
upon
the
Kings
Troops
;
his
Majesty
now
discharging
the
part
of
a
Souldier
,
animating
his
men
to
a
second
round
Charge
upon
the
Horse
opposite
to
him
,
not
yet
secured
by
their
Infantry
;
but
they
soon
appearing
,
the
gallantry
of
that
resolution
was
lost
,
and
the
danger
and
despair
of
doing
any
good
by
any
further
resistance
prevailed
against
the
Kings
entreaties
,
and
indeed
against
the
reasonableness
of
the
attempt
.
For
who
can
but
expostulate
the
misery
of
this
day
!
The
Calamities
of
this
day
.
the
Troops
of
those
calamities
that
broke
in
upon
the
Kingdom
,
sadly
upbraiding
the
relasch
and
weakness
of
that
Cavalry
,
which
might
by
a
generous
Bravery
have
saved
themselves
,
their
honour
,
the
King
,
and
the
Kingdom
,
and
,
which
is
more
,
the
innocence
of
the
Nation
.
But
the
Justice
and
over-ruling
Wisdom
of
Almighty
God
vouchsafed
not
his
assistance
and
favour
to
those
Arms
,
reserving
the
Honour
and
Reputation
of
the
Cause
they
defended
to
his
unquestionable
all-puissant
Arm
;
that
it
might
hereafter
be
transcribed
to
posterity
from
the
visible
and
glorious
manifestations
of
Digitus
Dei
.
Read
then
and
peruse
with
thine
eyes
,
O
guiltless
Posterity
,
the
Fates
of
the
flying
Royalists
,
on
whom
for
fourteen
miles
(
the
despicable
condition
of
the
Enemy
,
but
that
morning
,
proving
the
most
potent
and
formidable
strength
)
the
Parliamentarians
did
Execution
,

of
them

they
unworthily

but
were
freed
from
the
extremity
of
the
pursuit
,
more
by
the
tire
of
their
enemies
Horse
,
than
by
the
celerity
of
their
own
.
The
Prisoners
taken
at

fight
,
were

published
afterwards
in
a
most

manner
(
of
which
the

most
elegantly
complained
)

the
irreconciliable
Enemies

.
The
number
of
the
Common
Souldiers
taken
,
amounted
to
4500
,
who
were
afterwards
brought
to
London
,
and
enclosed
in
the
new
Church-yard
in
Westminster
by
Tuttle-fields
;
from
whence
they
were
freed
by

Captivity
,

Princes
.
The
advantage
equal
to
both
parties
.
This
Battel
was
fought
much
upon
equal
advantage
for
number
both
of
Horse
and
Foot
;
the
ground
also
as
equal
:
For
the
fury
of
the
fight
dispensed
with
the
first
commodiousness
of
the
Campania
,
which
was
uncertainly
maintained
by
the
diversity
of
Success
;
being
thereunto
very
fit
,
by
reason
of
its
playnness
,
which
was
a
mile
broad
from
the
utmost
Flank
of
the
Right
,
to
the
left
Wing
of
the
Parliaments
Army
,
who
first
disposed
of
it
;
and
the
neutrality
of
the
Wind
favoured
both
alike
.
The
Commanders
on
both
sides
behaved
themselves
worthy
of
their
places
:
(
nothing
can
be
faulted
in
matter
of
courage
,
but
the
Northern
Horse
for
the
King
,
who
were
disgus●ed
in
the
beginning
,
for
that
they
fought
unwillingly
,
as
resolute
upon
the
enterprize
of
Pomfret
.

To

for

we
will
onely
mention
my
Lord
Bard
,
because
this
Chronicle
hath
given
no
former
account
of
his
Honour
,
to
which
he
rose
from
a
Commoner
,
by
excellent
services
done

And
since
it
is
by
the
Victor-party
,
even
by
the
General
himself
,
thought
a
crime
,
this
Relation
shall
not
spread
it
.
He
himself
became
the
Command
,
had
it
been
lawful
;
the
other

Officers
were

onely
they
were

with

Prisoners

The
next
day
Colonel
Iohn
Fiennes
with
his
Regiment
was
sent
up
to
London
by
the
General
with
the
Prisoners
and
Colours
taken
in
the
fight
,
who
had
been
all
along
eminent
in
the
services
of
that
side
.
The
Parliaments
Forces
pursut
the
Kings
.
The
Kings
Forces
being
thus
vanquished
,
Fairfax
gave
orders
for
the
Army
and
Train
to
march
after
them
the
next
day
,
being
Sunday
,
without
any
more
intermission
;
the
pursuit
of
the
Victory
being
of
parallel
consequence
with
the
obtaining
of
it
.
These
Orders
were
chearfully
obeyed
,
though
the
long
march
of
the
Foot
for
many
days
together
,
and
the
vehemency
of
the
Battel
,
might
have
made
them
rest
:
That
night
they
quartered
at
Great
Glyn
,
four
miles
short
of
Leicester
;
but
the
Horse
came
nearer
;
which
so
much
Alarm'd
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
that
had
fled
thither
for
security
,
that
they
fled
thence
in
great
haste
,
leaving
the
Lord
Hastings
to
defend
the
place
.

The
King
in
the
mean
time
not
judging
it
safe
to
lodge
at
Leicester
,
departed
to
Ashby
de
la
zouch
,
where
he
reposed
himself
some
few
hours
;
but
stayed
not
there
,
making
all
speed
he
could
from
Litchfield
in
the
night
,
and
from
thence
into

.

incontinently

escaped

who
was
advancing
with

The
General

was
once
unresolved

relieve
Taunton

by
the
Lord
Goring
,

or

He
had
received
full
information
of
the
strength
of
that
Army
,
and
what
a
desperate
forlorn
condition
Blake
the
Governour
was
in
;
yet
knowing
that
now
there
was
no
possibility
of
juncture
with
the
King
,
of
which
before
the
fight
Goring
had
assured
his
Majesty
within
few
days
,
Leicester
retaken
.
he
resolved
to
reduce

first

Lord
Hastings
Governour
thereof
.
On
Munday
the
16
of
Iune
,
the
whole
Army
came
before
the
Town
,
when
the
General
sent
a
Summons
to
the
Lord
Hastings
to
deliver
it
to
the
use
of
the
Parliament
;
who
very
resolutely
refused
them
,
and
thereupon
command
was
given
for
a
present
Storm
.
On
the
17
,
being
Tuesday
,
great
store
of
Ladders
were
brought
in
,
a
Battery
raised
,
upon
which
two
Demy-Cannons
and
a
whole
Culverin
taken
at
Naseby
were
planted
upon
an
old
Work
against
the
Newark
,
being
the
very
same
Guns
which
the
King
not
many
days
before
had
used
against
the
same
place
.
Whereupon
the
Lord
of
Loughborough
,
seeing
this
resolution
of
the
enemy
,
sent
a
Trumpeter
out
that
day
with
Letters
,
desiring
a
Parley
concerning
the
surrender
of
the
Town
;
which
began
that
evening
,
and
concluded
in
an
agreement
;
and

,

to

,
the

and
other
Officers
to
Litchfield
,
with
staves
onely
in
their
hands
.
There
were
taken
in
the
Town
14
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
30
Colours
,
2000
Arms
,
500
Horse
,
50
barrels
of
Powder
,
and
other
Ammunition
proportionable
thereunto
.
Then
consultation
was
held
whether
any
Horse
should
be
sent
after
the
King
,
who
hastned
to
Hereford
;
but
the
distress
of
Taunton
in
the
West
swayed
the
Parliaments
Army
thither-ward
,
being
newly
mustered
,
and
gratified
with
their
pay
sent
down
from
London
.
With
this
intention
the
Army
marched
towards
Marlborough
,

where
they
should
be
nevertheless
in

mid-way
to

and

,
if
the
King
should
appear
formidable
;
but
no
such
account
being
likely
to
be
given
of
him
,
they
advanced
further
West-ward
,
and
by
the
way
took
in
Highworth-Garrison
,
and
came
to
Salisbury
,
where
their
General
had
noti●e
that
the

under
the
Stile
of
Club-men
were
generally
risen
in
those
Counties
,

(
being
distinguished
by

in
their

and
had
been
bickering
with
part
of
Major-General
Massey's
forces
,
which
were
the
onely
considerable
for
the
Parliament
thereabouts
;
and
that
there
might
be
some
suspition
of
danger
,
either
in
their
Quarters
or
in
the
field
from
them
:
For
it
was
supposed
they
were
risen
in
favour
of
the
King
,
however
they
pretended
a
neutrality
,
and
preservation
of
themselves
.
To
this
purpose
they
presented
the
General
with
two
Petitions
;
the
one
to
the
King
,
the
other
to
the
Parliament
;

Petition

desiring
a
Safe-conduct

number
of
ten
thousand
,
then
ready
at
an
hours
warning
to
be
embodyed
together
;
Armed
with
Country-weapons
,
Bills
and
Pitchtorks
,
and
Clubs
,
and
some
Fire-Armes
,
under
the
command
of
one
Mr.
Hollis
,
who
transacted
with
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
in
the
matter
aforesaid
.
Their
Demands
were
high
,
though
reasonable
:
but
of
these
men
more
anon
.
Goring
hearing
of
this
advance
of
the
Army
,
Taunton
freed
,
Iuly
7.
made
a
semblance
and
show
of
drawing
off
from
Taunton
(
where
Colonel
Welden
and
the
relief
lately
sent
were
besieged
:
)
after
he
had
marched
some
two
miles
,
the
Garrison
sally'd
out
to
fall
upon
his
Rear
;
when
on
a
sudden
he
faces
about
,
falls
with
fury
and
execution
upon
the
party
,
kills
many
,
and
pursues
the
rest
into
the
Town
up
to
the
very
Gates
,
And
Goring
after
his
defeating
the
besieged
departed
.
and
then
sets
down
closer
than
before
:
But
his
Scouts
giving
him
continual
notice
of
Fairfax's
approach
,
he
finally
departed
,
to
prevent
the
enemies
hastie
advance
,
and
to
get
an
opportunity
of
joyning
with
the
Forces
which
he
expected
to
his
assistance
from
the
King
.
To
this
purpose
he
commodiously
quartered
his
Army
at
Long
Sutton
,
His
Army
quartered
at
Long-Sutton
,
keeping
the
River
betwixt
him
and
his
enemies
,
having
the
Garrisons
of
Bridgewater
,
Langport
,
Burrough
,
and
Ilchester
,
and
several
Passes
upon
the
River
,
to
friend
;
the
Bridges
every
where
broken
down
;
and
it
would
have
been
hazardous
to
force
a
passage
in
view
of
his
Army
,
who
were
in
good
order
,
ready
to
receive
any
attempt
.
It
was
therefore
concluded
by
the
Parliamentarians
,
to
force
a
passage
at
a
Town
called
Evil
,
and
there
to
put
up
the
bridge
again
,
and
so
fall
upon
him
.
The
Royalists
understanding
that
Evil
was
gained
,
marched
to
Langport
,
and
quitted
Ilchester
,
and
a
Pass
at
Load-bridge
;
and
made
show
as
if
(
leading
the
most
part
of
the
Army
that
way
)
they
would
surprize
Taunton
.
they
march
to
Langport
.
To
prevent
that
,
Major-General
Massey
was
ordered
to
fall
on
their
Rear
,
Massey
resolutely
attempis
their
Rear
,
but
with
loss
.
being
of
that
side
the
water
;
which
he
resolutely
attempted
,
but
with
loss
,
for
nevertheless
the
Royalists
kept
themselves
in
their
station
and
way
.
Langport
fight
.
The
next
day
,
Iuly
the
10
,
General
Goring
advanced
from
Langport
with
his
Foot
to
the
Pass
,
having
lined
the
hedges
thick
with
Musqueteers
,
and
drawn
up
his
Ordnance
,
the
main
Body
being
placed
in
good
order
upon
a
hill
,
about
a
Musquet-shot
from
the
Pass
.
The
fight
began
with
the
roaring
of
the
Cannon
from
Fairfax's
Camp
with
some
execution
;
then
the
Foot
advanced
,
and
beat
the
Royalists
from
their
hedges
,
General
Fairfax
routs
the
Lord
Goring
.
and
made
way
for
their
Horse
,
who
charged
resolutely
under
Major
Bethel
,
and
were
couragiously
received
by
the
Royalists
Horse
,
drawn
up
in
a
lane
;
who
with
pure
valour
beat
them
back
in
disorder
,
and
made
notable
execution
;
especially
the
Regiment
of
Colonel
Nevil
,
formerly
that
of
the
Earl
of
Carnarvan
,
did
with
their
wonted
,
yet
extraordinary
magnanimity
,
renew
the
encounter
,
till
Desbrough
coming
in
with
fresh
supplies
,
of
which
Goring
knew
they
had
store
,
he
in
some
handsome
order
drew
off
,
having
given
their
Cavalry
such
a
smart
entertainment
,
that
they
were
willing
to
stay
till
their
Foot
came
up
.
By
this
time
the
Royalists
had
marched
two
miles
in
the
Lanes
,
when
the
whole
Army
appearing
again
,
giving
another
Charge
,
they
drew
off
in
haste
and
confusion
towards
Bridgewater
,
having
fired
and
deserted
Langport
.
In
this
fight
and
pursuit
,
of
both
sides
,
Langport
fired
.
were
slain
about
1000
,
about
1200
Prisoners
taken
,
some
1000
Horse
,
two
Pieces
,
30
Colours
of
Horse
and
Foot
;
the
flight
and
pursuit
continuing
till
within
two
miles
of
Bridgewater
,
where
that
night
Fairfax
took
up
his
Quarters
,
General
Fairfax
at
Bridgewater
.
in
deliberation
whether
he
should
follow
the
Lord
Goring
,
or
besiege
that
Town
,
through
which
the
Royalists
in
their
flight
p●●●ed
to
the
North
of
Devonshire
,
Sir
Richard
Greenvile
,
and
Sir
John
Berkley
joyn
with
the
Lord
Goring
.
where
Sir
Richard
Greenvile
and
Sir
Iohn
Berkley
joyned
with
him
,
making
6000
strong
;
and
Prince
Charles
and
the
Lord
Hopton
were
raising
Forces
in
Cornwal
for
the
same
purpose
.
Fairfax
determined
therefore
not
to
weary
his
Foot
with
a
sudden
march
,
but
to
attaque
Bridgewater
;
and
resolution
was
made
after
a
little
respite
to
storm
it
.
It
was
a
natural-well-fortified
place
,
lying
level
with
the
adjacent
valley
;
the
Works
about
it
very
regular
and
strong
,
the
Foss
or
Ditch
deep
,
and
about
30
foot
wide
,
which
was
filled
up
every
Tide
to
the
brim
;
the
Line
of
no
great
compass
,
and
well
manned
with
1800
Souldiers
;
having
a
Castle
also
of
a
considerable
strength
within
,
and
the
support
and
maintenance
of
all
provision
,
victual
and
Ammunition
,
every
way
sufficient
.
Such
was
the
difficulty
of
undertaking
it
;
and
the
disreputation
of
leaving
it
after
a
siege
,
was
cast
likewise
into
the
danger
:
But
trusting
to
their
uncontroulable
Fortune
,
the
Parliamentarians
resolved
to
storm
it
,
as
a
way
conducing
to
free
the
Army
to
follow
their
success
abroad
,
and
make
a
final
end
.
Accordingly
,
on
Munday-morning
,
Iuly
22.
(
Hugh
Peters
having
encouraged
them
the
day
before
)
just
at
break
of
day
the
Forlorn
was
led
on
by
Lieutenant-Colonel
Hewson
,
and
seconded
by
Lieutenant-Colonel
Ashfield
,
(

by

Parliament
.
The
Parliaments
forlorn
led
by
Hewson
a
daring
Souldier
.
and
infamous
afterwards
)
who
da●ingly
having
thrown
their
Bridges
over
the
Graft
,
mounted
the
Walls
;
and
for
all
the
showers
of
Bullets
,
beat
the
defendants
from
their
Cannon
,
and
turned
them
upon
the
Town
,
and
let
down
their
Draw-bridge
,
where
Captain
(
afterwards
Colonel
and
Comissary
)
Reynolds
entred
with
the
Forlorn
of
Horse
immediately
,
and
secured
that
part
of
the
Town
called
Eastover
,
charging
as
far
as
the
Draw-bridge
of
the
other
.
Hereupon
600
of
the
defendants
,
who
were
assigned
to
the
defence
of
that
place
,
and
had
made
manful
resistance
,
craved
Quarter
,
and
had
it
granted
;
the
whole
Storm
falling
upon
them
,
while
the
other
on
the
West-side
were
but
alarmed
;
but
they
perceiving
this
unhappy
stratagem
,
soon
after
with
Granadoes
fired
that
part
of
the
Town
possessed
by
the
enemy
,
and
gave
signs
of
an
obstinate
resistance
.
The
town
fired
.
Both
sides
continued
in
quiet
till
Tuesday-night
,
at
which
time
another
round
alarm
onely
was
given
,
to
keep
the
besieged
waking
:
the
General
then
sent
in
another
Summons
,
which
was
refused
;
but
the
Cannon
playing
,
and
several
Granadoes
lighting
in
the
Town
;
after
some
Messages
past
,
the
General
proving
very
difficult
to
any
Conditions
,
Colonel
Okey
takes
Burrough
-
Garrison
for
the
Parliament
.
and
prepared
for
an
Assault
,
the
Town
was
rendred
by
the
Governour
upon
Quarter
onely
for
life
,
on
the
23
of
Iuly
;
1000
more
Gentlemen
,
Clergy
,
and
common
Souldiers
being
made
Prisoners
.
Both
Towns
were
lamentably
fired
.
The
adjacent
Garrison
of
Burrough
was
a
little
while
before
rendred
to
Colonel
Okey
.
After
this
surrender
,
The
Clubmen
dispersed
.
the
General
before
he
would
march
further
Westward
,
resolved
to
reduce
the
Clubmen
,
who
were
so
peremptory
in
their
demands
:
Colonel
Fleetwood
on
the
second
of
August
encompassed
them
in
Shaftsbury
with
1000
Horse
,
They
were
Ten
thousand
in
a
Body
.
and
took
fifty
of
the
principal
,
who
were
Mr.
Hollis
,
Dr.
Goche
,
Mr.
Cary
,
&c.
and
disarmed
and
sent
them
to
Prison
;
but
on
the
fourth
of
August
,
Lieutenant-General
Cromwel
was
sent
against
several
parties
of
10000
of
them
,
who
threatned
much
danger
;
some
he
perswaded
to
return
to
their
dwellings
;
but
on
Hambleton-hill
neer
Strawton
4000
of
them
stood
on
their
guard
,
in
a
place
which
had
been
an
old
Roman-Work
,
deeply
trenched
:
Thereupon
Cromwels
Troop
charged
up
the
hill
,
and
were
repulsed
at
the
passage
into
the
Fort
;
but
Desborough
coming
behind
on
their
Rear
,
they
were
presently
dispersed
,
some
40
killed
,
and
200
wounded
,
and
400
taken
Prisoners
,
with
about
12
Colours
taken
,
in
one
whereof
was
Written
,
If
you
offer
to
plunder
,
or
take
our
Cattel
,
The
Motto
of
one
of
their
Colours
.
Be
assured
we
will
bid
you
Battel
.
No
doubt
,
as
was
said
before
,
they
had
some
design
for
the
King
,
as
was
guessed
from
the
general
affection
of
these
parts
formerly
and
constantly
to
his
Cause
:
but
what
ever
it
was
,
it
was
now
defeated
;
and
the
Club-folks
had
Club-law
.
Sherburn-Castle
was
now
besieged
,
Sherburn
-
Castle
besieged
,
and
Bath
taken
.
while
Colonel
Rich
took
in
the
City
of
Bath
,
having
none
but
Horse
and
Dragoons
with
him
,
and
the
place
Tenable
:
and
Prince
Rupert
was
also
on
his
way
to
relieve
it
from
Bristol
with
1500
Horse
and
Foot
;
but
Okey's
Dragoons
creeping
on
their
bellies
over
the
Bridge
to
the
Gate
,
which
they
fired
,
made
the
Governour
surrender
Iuly
the
29.
upon
Articles
.
To
return
to
Sherburn-Castle
;
Sir
Lewes
Dives
the
Governour
of
Sherburn
-
Castle
maks
a
nota●●●
defence
.
there
Sir
Lewes
Dives
was
Governour
,
who
made
a
most
notable
defence
;
which
for
the
honour
of
that
noble
Knight
,
who
so
constantly
,
and
through
so
many
hazards
adhered
to
the
King
,
and
because
this
was
a
place
of
remarque
,
and
the
first
that
endured
a
formal
siege
in
the
beginning
of
the
War
,
shall
be
more
largely
spoken
of
.
A
Hay-stack
(
August
the
fifth
at
night
)
within
a
stones
throw
of
the
Works
was
gained
;
a
Storm
was
then
resolved
on
,
but
afterwards
deferred
,
and
Battery
and
Approaches
pitcht
upon
,
together
with
Mining
,
for
that
the
ground
wherein
the
Castle
stood
was
minable
.
Much
hurt
was
done
out
of
the
Castle
by
Birding-peices
,
by
very
skilful
Marks-men
;
several
Officers
and
Gunners
being
killed
by
such
shot
.
Both
Mines
and
Galleries
were
now
made
;
The
General
Summons
the
Castle
,
and
offers
the
Ladies
and
women
their
liberty
to
depart
.
every
worker
being
rewarded
with
twelve
pence
a
day
and
twelve
pence
a
night
,
so
hazardous
was
the
service
;
and
then
a
second
Summons
was
sent
in
,
with
an
offer
from
the
General
that
the
Ladies
and
Women
might
depart
.
Sir
Lewis
acknowledged
that
civility
,
but
contemned
the
peremptoriness
of
the
demand
.
The
Miners
were
got
within
two
yards
of
the
Wall
,
where
the
Rock
appearing
,
they
began
to
doubt
of
any
effect
;
but
it
proving
but
a
soft
stone
,
on
the
14
of
August
the
great
Guns
played
,
and
had
made
a
Breach
by
the
evening
in
the
middle
of
the
Wall
,
so
that
ten
a
breast
might
enter
;
and
one
of
the
Towers
was
beaten
down
,
when
the
Parliament-Souldiers
were
so
venturous
,
as
for
six
pence
a
Bullet
to
fetch
off
all
the
Cannon-shot
that
rebounded
from
the
Castle
,
of
which
there
was
great
scarcity
.
A
third
Summons
was
now
sent
in
,
The
Castle
again
Summoned
.
The
Governours
resolute
answer
.
to
deliver
the
Castle
,
or
expect
extremity
;
to
which
Sir
Lewis
told
the
Drum
,
that
he
would
hang
him
:
That
the
language
was
so
far
different
from
what
he
had
formerly
received
,
that
he
could
not
believe
it
came
from
the
same
hand
:
That
whatever
happened
,
he
would
not
lose
his
honour
to
save
his
life
,
which
he
should
think
well
bestowed
in
the
service
.
Sherburn
-
Castle
taken
August
.
15.
The
Mine
being
now
ready
to
spring
,
a
general
Assault
was
resolved
on
,
the
Gallery
being
advanced
so
neer
the
Works
,
that
the
Souldiers
pulled
the
Wool
out
of
the
Woolsacks
from
the
besieged
,
who
made
fires
all
night
to
discover
the
Mines
and
Approaches
.
Two
of
the
Towers
were
also
gained
,
and
with
that
encouragement
the
Assaylants
without
order
improved
it
,
forcing
them
within
from
their
Guns
,
which
they
had
planted
to
oppose
their
entrance
at
the
Breach
;
so
that
presently
they
were
forced
to
quit
the
great
Court
within
the
Castle
:
Which
so
disheartned
them
,
that
the
Besiegers
hastily
,
and
before
the
time
appointed
,
leapt
over
the
Works
,
and
so
into
the
Castle
;
which
was
followed
by
the
whole
Army
,
who
presently
possessed
themselves
of
it
,
and
plundered
it
sufficiently
,
stripping
every
person
within
it
;
but
because
of
the
little
opposition
they
found
,
Sir
Lewis
Dives
imprisoned
in
the
Tower
:
he
escapes
to
Ireland
.
giving
indifferent
good
quarter
.
Sir
Lewis
was
taken
Prisoner
,
and
kept
so
a
long
while
in
the
Tower
,
till
after
the
death
of
the
King
,
being
designed
for
the
slaughter
also
,
he
made
an
escape
from
his
Keeper
at
White-hall
,
whither
he
was
brought
to
be
examined
,
and
soon
after
did
notable
service
in
Ireland
for
his
present
Majesty
.
There
were
taken
also
400
Prisoners
,
Colonel
Giles
Strangeways
,
Sir
William
Walcot
,
Colonel
Thornhil
:
and
the
Clubmen
of
the
parts
adjacent
fully
quieted
by
the
loss
of
this
place
,
their
Leaders
being
sent
Prisoners
with
those
of
Sherburn
.
The
next
place
designed
as
a
further
Trophee
of
the
Parliaments
victorious
Army
,
after
some
dispute
(
because
Plymouth
was
straightly
beset
,
and
in
the
same
plight
now
,
as
Taunton
formerly
)
was
Bristol
.
In
the
march
of
the
Army
thither
,
Colonel
Rainsborough
took
in
Nunny-Castle
the
21
of
August
,
upon
condition
of
liberty
to
go
to
their
own
houses
.

Commissary-General
Ireton
was
first
sent
with
2000
Horse
to
secure
the
Villages
and
Towns
adjacent
to
Bristol
,
from
being
fired
by
the
Royalists
in
that
City
,
which
because
of
its
importance
,
being
justly
reckoned
in
the
first
rank
of
populous
Cities
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
onely
considerable
part
the
King
had
for
Shipping
,
Trade
and
Riches
,
and
lay
advantagious
for
supplies
from
Ireland
,
was
thought
necessary
to
be
reduced
;
Ireton
sent
towards
Bristol
.
and
the
danger
of
leaving
so

SIR
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax's
Summons
to
Prince
Rupert
.
FOr
the
service
of
the
Parliament
,
I
have
brought
their
Army
before
the
City
of
Bristol
,
and
do
Summon
you
in
their
Names
to
render
it
,
with
all
the
Forts
belonging
to
the
same
,
into
my
hands
for
their
use
.
Having
used
this
plain
language
,
as
the
business
requires
,
I
wish
it
may
be
as
effectual
unto
you
,
as
it
is
satisfactory
to
my self
,
that
I
do
a
little
expostulate
with
you
about
the
Surrender
of
the
same
;
which
I
confess
is
a
way
not
common
,
and
which
I
should
not
have
used
,
but
in
respect
to
such
a
person
,
and
such
a
place
.
I
take
into
consideration
your
Royal
Birth
,
and
Relation
to
the
Crown
of
England
,
your
Honour
,
Courage
,
the
vertues
of
your
person
,
and
the
strength
of
that
place
,
which
you
may
think
your self
bound
and
able
to
maintain
.
Sir
,
the
Crown
of
England
is
and
will
be
where
it
ought
to
be
;
we
fight
to
maintain
it
there
;
but
the
King
misled
by
evil
Counsellours
,
or
through
a
seduced
heart
,
hath
left
his
Parliament
,
under
God
the
best
assurance
of
his
Crown
and
Family
:
the
maintaining
of
this
Schism
,
is
the
ground
of
this
unha●pie
War
on
your
part
;
and
what
sad
effects
it
hath
produced
in
the
three
Kingdoms
,
is
visible
to
all
men
.
To
maintain
the
rights
of
the
Crown
and
Kingdom
joyntly
,
a
principal
part
thereof
is
,
that
the
King
in
Supream
Acts
is
not
to
be
advised
by
men
of
whom
the
Law
takes
no
notice
,
but
by
his
Parliament
,
the
great
Council
of
the
Kingdom
,
in
whom
(
as
much
as
man
is
capable
of
)
he
hears
all
his
people
as
it
were
at
once
advising
him
,
and
in
which
multitude
of
Counsellours
lies
his
safety
,
and
his
peoples
Interest
:
And
to
see
him
right
in
this
,
hath
been
the
constant
and
faithful
endeavours
of
the
Parliament
;
and
to
bring
those
wicked
instruments
to
justice
that
have
misled
him
,
is
the
principal
ground
of
our
fighting
.
Sir
,
Observe
the
strange
guise
of
these
words
.
if
God
makes
this
clear
to
you
,
as
he
hath
to
us
,
I
doubt
not
but
he
will
give
you
a
heart
to
deliver
this
place
,
notwithstanding
all
the
other
considerations
of
Honour
,
Courage
,
Fidelity
,
&c.
Because
of
their
constancy
and
use
in
the
present
business
,
depends
upon
the
right
or
wrongfulness
of
this
that
hath
been
said
.
And
if
upon
such
conviction
you
shall
surrender
it
,
and
save
the
loss
of
blood
,
or
hazard
the
spoiling
of
such
a
City
,
it
would
be
an
occasion
glorious
in
it self
,
and
joyful
to
us
,
for
the
restoring
of
you
to
the
endeared
affections
of
the
Parliament
and
People
of
England
,
the
truest
friend
to
your
Family
it
hath
in
the
World
.
But
if
this
be
hid
from
your
eyes
,
and
through
your
wilfulness
,
this
so
great
,
famous
and
ancient
a
City
be
by
your
putting
us
to
force
the
same
exposed
to
the
ruine
and
extremities
of
War
(
which
yet
we
shall
in
that
case
as
much
as
possible
endeavour
to
prevent
)
then
I
appeal
to
the
righteous
God
,
to
be
judge
between
you
and
us
,
and
to
require
the
wrong
.
And
let
all
England
judge
whether
the
burning
of
its
Towns
,
ruining
its
Cities
,
and
destroying
its
people
,
be
a
good
requital
from
a
person
of
your
Family
,
which
hath
the
Prayers
,
Tears
,
Purses
,
and
blood
of
its
Parliament
and
People
.
And
if
you
look
on
either
as
now
divided
,
hath
ever
had
that
same
party
both
in
Parliaments
and
People
,
most
zealous
for
their
assistance
and
restitution
,
which
you
now
oppose
and
seek
to
destroy
,
and
whose
constant
grief
hath
been
,
that
their
desires
to
serve
that
your
Family
,
have
been
ever
hindred
or
made
fruitless
by
that
same
party
about
his
Majesty
,
whose
Counsel
you
act
,
and
whose
Interest
you
pursue
in
this
unnatural
War
.
I
expect
your
speedy
Answer
to
this
Summons
,
with
the
return
of
the
Bearer
this
evening
,
and
remain
Your
Highness
Humble
Servant
,
THO.
FAIRFAX

Prince

Answer
.
I
desire
to
know
whether
you
will
give
me
leave
to
send
to
the

to

his
pleasure
in
it
.
Your
Servant

To
which
this
was
the
Reply
next
day
.
SIR
,
YOur
overture
of
sending
to
the
King
to
know
his
pleasure
,
I
cannot
give
way
to
,
because
of
delay
.
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax's
reply
.
I
confess
your
Answer
doth
intimate
your
intention
not
to
surrender
without
his
Majesties
consent
;
yet
because
it
is
but
implicite
,
I
send
again
to
know
a
more
positive
Answer
from
you
self
,
which
I
desire
may
be
such
as
may
render
me
capable
of
approving
my self
Your
Highness
Humble
Servant
,
THO.
FAIRFAX
.
In
the
mean
while
,
additions
of
Country-forces
,
by
means
of
Mr.
Ashe
and
others
,
promoting
the
Generals
Warrant
to
that
purpose
,
being
come
to
the
Leaguer
,
a
Storm
was
concluded
on
,
for
that
intelligence
came
to
the
Army
,
and
was
seconded
with
advice
from
the
Committee
of
both
Kingdoms
,
that
the
King
,
who
was
then
newly
come
out
of
the
Associated
Counties
,
of
which
by
and
by
,
was
intended
for
the
relief
of
Bristol
,
and
to
that
purpose
was
to
joyn
with
General
Goring
,
who
was
newly
inforced
,
as
was
said
before
,
and
was
now
about
Collumpton
in
Devonshire
;
whose
Letters
intercepted
,
being
sent
to
Secretary
Nicholas
,
said
,
that
within
three
Weeks
time
he
should
be
in
a
condition
to
relieve
the
Town
:
So
that
the
Prince
did
prudently
temporize
with
Fairfax
,
by
sending
out
a
Draught
of
very
high
Articles
,
while
succour
might
be
sent
him
,
and
his
Lines
finished
;
though
others
,
and
those
valiant
expert
Commanders
,
of
whom
for
honours
sake
Colonel
Pretty
ought
not
to
be
forgotten
,
declared
,
that
the
Town
was
tenable
by
force
,
and
needed
not
the
courtesie
or
charms
or
words
to
preserve
it
:
but
it
since
appears
,
that
the
Prince
had
Orders
from
the
King
,
if
it
came
to
extremity
,
to
surrender
it
upon
honourable
Articles
.
On
the
10
of
September
,
the
City
having
been
alarmed
two
nights
together
,
about
two
of
the
Clock
in
the
morning
the
Storm
began
,
Bristol
Stormed
Sept.
10.
which
was
round
the
City
;
(
for
the
Sea-men
also
having
(
by
the
loss
of
Portshed
,
which
was
rendred
to
Colonel
Weldens
Regiment
)
free
riding
in
the
River
,
attempted
it
of
their
side
;
but
the
Tide
failed
them
)
the
disposal
of
the
several
posts
of
the
several
Regiments
was
after
this
manner
.
The
signal
being
given
,
which
was
by
setting
on
fire
a
great
heap
of
straw
and
faggots
on
the
top
of
a
hill
,
and
the
shooting
of
four
great
Pieces
of
Ordnance
against
Pryors
Fort
,
from
the
place
where
the
General
was
to
reside
all
the
time
of
the
Storm
,
the
General
Assault
began
:
Colonel
Montague
and
Colonel
Pickerings
Brigade
,
with
their
Regiments
,
at
Lawfords
gate
entred
speedily
,
and
recovered
two
and
twenty
great
Guns
,
and
took
many
Prisoners
in
the
Works
;
them
Major
Desborough
seconded
with
his
Horse
of
the
Generals
Regiment
,
and
part
of
Colonel
Graves
.
Sir
Hardress
Waller's
Regiment
,
and
the
Generals
,
between
Lawfords
gate
and
the
River
Froom
.
Lieutenant-Colonel
Pride's
Regiment
part
against
Pryors
Fort
,
and
part
to
alarm
the
great
Fort
,
who
in
the
mean
while
took
a
Fort
wherein
were
some
Welch-men
.
Colonel
Horn
,
and
Colonel
Raustings
attempted
neer
Pryors
Fort.
The
Horse
that
entred
here
,
were
led
on
by
Captain
Ireton
,
seconded
by
Major
Bethel
,
who
received
a
shot
in
the
thigh
,
whereof
he
after
dyed
:
whose
Troops
likewise
mortally
wounded
Colonel
Taylor
of
the
Kings
party
.
The
Line
being
thus
thrown
down
by
the
Pioneers
,
and
mastered
both
by
the
Foot
and
Horse
,
the
Royalists
Horse
retreated
,
and
stood
in
a
Body
under
the
favour
of
the
great
Fort
,
and
Coulstons
Fort.
Priors-hill-Fort
held
out
the
most
obstinately
,
but
at
length
was
resolutely
mastered
,
where
Prides
Souldiers
gave
no
quarter
except
to
a
very
few
,
in
regard
of
the
great
slaughter
they
within
made
by
their
gallant
defence
.
But
on
the
Somersetshire-●ide
,
the
success
was
not
answerable
,
where
Colonel
Weldens
,
Ingoldsby
,
and
Herberts
Regiments
were
appointed
to
storm
;
these
,
by
reason
of
the
height
of
the
Work
,
which
they
had
not
rightly
calculated
,
the
Ladders
proving
too
short
,
were
repulsed
with
great
loss
of
above
300
men
;
Leiutenant-Colonel
Purefoy
,
and
Major
Cromwel
killed
in
the
general
Assault
;
and
soon
after
,
some
part
of
the
Town
was
set
on
fire
,
to
make
the
other
more
defensible
:
and
afterwards
delivered
upon
Articles
.
And
then
the
Prince
thought
good
to
treat
,
and
obtained
the
Conditions
he
first
propounded
,
saving
that
the
General
would
not
admi●
of
freeing
the
City
from
any
Garrison
.
I
may
not
omit
,
that
Sir
Richard
Crane
,
Sir
Richard

slain

to
Oxford
.
a
familiar
and
Favorite
of
the
Prince
,
was
killed
some
time
before
in
a
Salley
.
According
to
the
honourable
Articles
of
the
Surrender
,
on
the
14
of
September
the
Royalists
Marched
out
,
and
then
assigned
(
as
was
before
agreed
)
Oxford
for
the
place
they
would
go
to
;
and
because
of
the
danger
of
the
Clubmen
,
had
1000
Arms
lent
them
at
the
Princes
intreaty
for
his
Foot
,
to
secure
them
in
their
way
,
which
in
all
amounted
to
1500
,
and
the
Horse
to
near
half
as
many
;
and
were
exactly
to
their
Conditions
convoyed

aforesaid

the
General
waiting
upon
the
Prince
two
miles
out
of
Bristol
.
After
this
Rendition
,
the
General
thought
it
not
fit
to
reside
at
Bristol
,
because
of
the
Plague
that
was
rife
in
the
City
:
It
seems
that
infection
hath
an
antidote
against
its
communicableness
in
right
and
Battel
,
The
Plague
at
Bristol
.
and
onely
kills
in
peace
;
To
God
orders
it
,
that
two
such
devourers
should
not
at
one
time
be
entertained
together
;
nor
was
it
ever
known
that
two
contrary
Armies
were
at
the
same
time
,
though
never
so
neer
one
another
,
afflicted
with
the
same
Contagion
.
The
General
therefore
,
to
avoid
the
after-clap
,
removed
to
Bath
,
Sir
Tho.
Fairfax
removes
to
Bath
.
to
intend
his
health
,
and
repose
in
that
salubrious
place
,
assigning
the
Army
their
refreshments
against
a
March
further
Westward
,
where
it
is
now
time
to
leave
them
to
their
surfetting
sweets
of
Conquest
.
We
will
now
therefore
travel
on
with
this
discourse
Northward
,
where
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Scarborough
,
so
gallantly
defended
for
a
long
time
against
several
Commanders
,
and
lately
against

Scot
,
(
of
whom
before
at
Newark
)
who
laid
his
bones
under
the
Walls
thereof
,
was
now
freshly
and
more
vigorously
besieged
by
Sir
Matthew
Boynton
in
his
place
;
to
whom
,
after
a
long
and
tedious
leaguering
,

intreaty
,

more

were
now
prevailed
with
to
march
Southward
,
and
in
the
way
took

strong

.
On
the
15
of
August
they
sate
down
before

,
having
made
miserable
spoil
in
their
march
,
which
they
hoped
to
compleat
at
this
City
,
against
which
they
proceeded
in
all
hostile
manner
,
by
Mines
,
Batteries
and
Assaults
;
but
all
to
no
purpose
,
more
than
the
perswasion
,
Summons
,
and
inducement
from
the
oppressed
▪
Country

Gentlemen
whereof
were
wrought
upon
to
request
Sir

to
deliver
the
Town
to
their
burdensome
guests

Scots
,
and
so
deliver
them
from
their
present
charge
and
oppression

great
number
of

they
lost
here
daily

being
rejected

scorn
upon
all
their
Summons

The
Siege

.
and
at
last
hearing
of
the
Kings
approach
,
who
was
come
from
Oxford
that
way
,
they
raised
their
shameful
Siege
,
and
by
the
way
of
Gloucester
departed
to
Warwick
,
and
so
Northward
again
,
to
the
hissing
and
laughter
of
the
people

whom
they
passed

But
now
to
a
more
sorrowful
business
,
the
distracted
unpleasant
progress
of
the
King
.
The
King
after
his
defeat
at
Naseby
had
fled
towards
Wales
,
with
an
intention
to
recruit
;
but
the
necessity
of
his
affairs
requiring
no
long
stay
thereabout
,
he
posted
back
again
,
his
Armies
being
thus
bestowed
:

,
and
the
King
with
a
flying
Army
every
where
.
The
first
account
of
his
actions
was
from
Bewdley
(
whither
he
advanced
from
Litchfield
)
where
he
Encountred
some
of
the
Scots
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
The
King
in
person

Scots
at
Bewdley
,
and
wors●eth
them
:
defeats
Sir
John
Gell
,
and
enters
the
Association
,
and
surpriseth
Huntingdon
.
and
worsted
them
;
then
he
passed
to
Sedbury
and
Ashburn
in
Derby-shire
,
and
Skirmishes
with
Sir
Iohn
Gell
,
and
defeated
his
party
;
and
on
the
16
of
August
came
to
Welbeck-house
,
belonging
to
the
Marquess
of
Newcastle
in
Nottingham-shire
.
Here
he
stayed
not
long
,
but
made
all
the
hast
he
could
,
(
being
at
liberty
to
go
whither
he
would
,
but
of
no
strength
to
make
use
of
and
enjoy
it
;
like
Consumptive
bodies
,
whose
Legs
do
last
of
all
fail
them
)
into
the
Association
.
His
Marches
were
so
volatile
,
uncertain
,
and
swift
,
that
no
preparatory
resistance
could
be
made
;
so
that
he
mastered
where
e're
he
came
,
Alarming
his
Enemies
every
where
;
who
while
they
consult
to
joyn
Forces
,
are
forced
to
dis-joyn
those
they
have
together
,
to
meet
with
every
emergency
his
nimble
Troops
occasioned
.
In
this
manner
he
surprized
Huntingdon-Town
,
which
he
entred
on
Sunday
after
Noon
in
Service-time
,
with
some
little
opposition
made
against
him
at
the
Bridge
,
where
he
slew
the
Captain
and
Lieutenant
that
maintained
it
,
with
most
of
the
Souldiers
,
and
put
the
Town
to
ransome
,
August
24.
and
Cambridge
.
From
thence
he
marched
with
the
like
expedition
and
celerity
,
faced
the
Town
and
University
of
Cambridge
;
but
out
of
his
favourable
regard
to
that
place
,
departed
as
suddenly
;
but
yet
the
fright
of
his
Coming
had
driven
the
most
factious
out
of
Colledges
and
Town
;
while
his
Majesty
contented
himself
with
casting
a
benevolent
look
upon
that
Nursery
,
that
had
been
Planet-strook
with
the
astonishing
seizures
of
the
Rebellion
.
His
next
Stage
was
Ouburn
,
having
by
the
way
fined
St.
Ives
in
500
pound
:
and
good
reason
of
State
there
was
for
this
manner
of
Tax
in
such
places
as
the
Association
,
St.
Ives
fined
500
pound
by
toe
King
.
which
had
so
largely
contributed
to
the
Rebellion
,
and
so
far
assisted
and
maintained
it
,
free
besides
from
the
burthen
of
the
War
;
and
the
great
Bulwark
,
as
London
was
the
Castle
and
Magazine
,
of
the
Parliaments
Cause
.
His
next
remove
was
to
Doncaster
,
the
way
he
took
for
Oxford
,
whither
he
came
on
the
28
of
August
.
The
King
at
Oxford
.
The
Royalists
began
to
come
in
upon
composition
.
At
his
first
arrival
he
found
his
Court
much
altered
;
some
of
the
Nobility
(
besides
others
)
very
Right
Honourably
run
away
to
the
Parliament
,
being
thereto
allured
by
the
late
Propositions
of
Peace
,
which
the
House
after
much
importunity
vouchsafed
his
Majesty
;
which
imported
in
one
clause
,
that
all
such
as
would
come
in
,
should
be
received
upon
payment
of
the
tenth
part
of
their
Estates
:
which
for
the
richer
sort
signified
to
be
clapt
in
Prison
,
and
received
into
custody
;
but
yet
this
stratagem
mainly
helped
forward
the
sinking
of
the
Royal
Cause
,
which
having
no
Arms
to
protect
it self
,
fell
thus
into
the
treacherous
embraces
of
its
enemies
:
For
while
they
adventured
rashly
upon
the
security
of
the
Propositions
,
they
found
themselves
mistaken
upon
the
Preliminary
,
and
stumbled
at
the
threshold
,
not
having
obtained
Passes
for
their
access
to
the
Parliaments
Quarters
;
which
error
being
rectified
at
last
,
the
two
Houses
enhanced
that
commodity
;
such
a
quick
Trade
there
was
of
the
same
,
that
Composition
could
not
be
had
at
the
first
rate
;
the
Publi●ue
Faith
being
alike
good
,
and
of
the
same
value
,
in
taking
from
Friends
and
Enemies
:
for
now
the
expiatory
money
of
their
Loyalty
was
come
to
the
Fifth
part
,
and
a
time
limited
for
that
favour
too
,
if
men
made
not
extraordinary
hast
to
undo
themselves
and
their
Families
,
to
save
a
little
bread
and
salt
,
the
remainders
of
some
fair
Estates
.
Oh
unfortunate
Allegiance
and
Duty
!
The
King
marcheth
towards
Wales
;
comes
to
Ludlow
,
designing
to
relieve
Chester
.
These
heavy
misfortunes
both
of
publique
and
private
concernment
,
the
King
not
able
,
or
unwilling
to
be
enured
to
,
by
a
constant
sight
of
them
,
departed
with
his
flying
Army
towards
Wales
again
,
intending
for
the
relief
of
Chester
:
with
this
purpose
,
on
the
19
of
September
he
came
to
Ludlow
,
and
there
understood
that
General
Pointz
out
of
the
North
was
dogging
him
at
the
heels
,
being
thereto
appointed
by
the
Committee
of
both
Kingdoms
,
expecting
an
advantagious
juncture
of
time
and
place
to
fight
him
;
which
upon
the
Kings
neer
advance
to
Chester
,
offered
it self
.
It
was
fore-thought
that
his
design
was
there
,
and
therefore
it
was
agreed
by
the
besiegers
and
Poyntz
,
that
as
soon
as
the
King
should
approach
,
he
should
instantly
engage
,
and
upon
signal
accorded
on
,
they
should
draw
off
,
leaving
a
convenient
force
to
make
good
the
Leaguer
,
and
joyn
with
him
in
the
fight
.

General
Poyntz

;
but

coming
in
,
the
King
is
worsted
.
within
two
miles
of
Chester
,
the
King
made
a
halt
,
to
give
notice
to
the
besieged
likewise
,
when
Poyntz
desperately
fell
on
,
and
being
far
engaged
,
was
presently
worsted
and
beaten
,
the
Kings
Horse
,
which
was
all
his
strength
,
fighting
couragiously
;
but
while
he
was
Rallying
again
,
in
the
very
nick
of
a
compleat
Victory
to
the
King
(
which
had
disowned
and
forsook
him
)
in
come
his
Reserves
commanded
by
Colonel
Iones
and
Louthian
,
with
neer
1000
Horse
and
Foot
;
which
gave
so
much
encouragement
to
Poyntz
broken
Forces
,
that
they
returned
to
another
Charge
.
While
the
King
was
a
musing
what
to
do
,
being
beset
in
Front
and
Rear
,
in
fine
,
he
made
another
brave
Charge
,
where
though
he
had
the
worst
,
yet
he
made
thereby
his
Retreat
good
in
part
,
though
in
some
disorder
,
and
with
loss
particularly
of
that
thrice-Noble
Lord
Bernard
Stuart
,
Earl
of
Litchfield
,
the
last
of
the
three
Illustrious
Brothers
of
the
Duke
of
Richmond
late
deceased
;
and
so
got
into
Chester
with
the
remains
of
his
Army
,
The
King
quits
Chester
,
and
goes
into
Wales
.
where
there
was
no
safety
for
him
to
continue
,
but
upon
advice
it
was
held
expedient
to
depart
again
for
Wales
,
of
the
fixed
affection
of
which
people
the
King
had
had
constant
experience
.
After
so
many
disasters
upon
the
neck
of
one
another
,
yet
did
not
the
King
despair
of
his
Arms
,
nor
with
pusillanimity
give
himself
over
to
the
complaints
of
his
hard
Fortune
:
Though
he
had
lost
Armies
in
the
field
,
and
Fortresses
and
Cities
in
every
Corner
of
the
Kingdome
,
yet
was
he
inexpugnable
and
invincible
in
his
own
mind
,
and
in
the
Loyal
affection
and
constant
sincerity
of
his
Friends
and
good
Subjects
,
whose
firm
adherence
(
till
he
totally
disarmed
them
himself
,
by
his
express
command
)
and
Gods
Soveraign
assistance
and
strengthning
of
him
within
,
when
there
was
no
help
from
without
,
was
admirable
,
and
more
admirably
improved
in
his
Meditations
on
this
subject
.

he
let
me
see
that
I
was
not
wholly
forsaken
by
my
peoples
love
,
or
his
protection
.
My
sins
sometimes
prevailed
against
the
justice
of
my
Cause
;
and
those
that
were
with
me
wanted
not
matter
and
occasion
for
his
just
chastisement
both
of
them
and
me
.
Nor
were
mine
enemies
less
punished
by
that
prosperity
,
which
hardned
them
to
contrive
that
Injustice
by
open
Hostility
,
which
was
begun
by
most
riotous
and
Vnparliamentary
Tumults
.
I
never
had
any
Victory
which
was
without
my
sorrow
,
because
it
was
on
mine
own
Subjects
,
who
like
Absalom
died
many
in
their
sin
.
And
I
never
suffered
any
defeat
which
made
me
despair
of
Gods
mercy
and
defence
.
When
Providence
gave
me
or
denyed
me
vitory
,
my
desire
was
neither
to
boast
of
my
power
,
nor
charge
God
foolishly
,
whom
I
beleived
at
last
would
make
all
things
work
together
for
my
good
.
I
wished
no
greater
advantages
by
the
War
,
than
to
bring
my
Enemies
to
moderation
,
and
my
Friends
to
peace
.
I
was
affraid
of
the
temptation
of
an
absolute
Conquest
;
and
never
prayed
more
for
Victory
over
others
,
than
over
my self
.
When
the
first
was
denyed
,
the
second
was
granted
me
;
which
God
saw
best
for
me
.

.
For
notwithstanding
these
sad
losses
so
thick
together
,
the
King
by
moving
up
and
down
recollecting
the
scatterings
of
several
parties
,
had
gotten
together
a
good
body
of
Horse
,
with
which
on
the
10
of
October
he
marched
to
Texford
,
thence
to
Welbeck
,
and
quartered
part
of
his
Army
at
Blits
the
13
day
,
and
rendezvoused
the
14
at
Walsop
,
where
,
to
answer
the
instant
request
of
the
Marquess
of
Montross
(
who
was
de●●ated
as
beforesaid
at
Philipshaugh
)
for
some
assistance
in
Horse
,
he
divided
his
Army
,
and
appointed
Sir
Marmaduke
Langdale
and
the
Lord
Digdy
to
march
Northwards
,
and
with
all
convenient
speed
to
joyn
with
the
said
Marquess
.
This
they
attempted
,

for

a

About
Sherburn
they
wheeled
off
,
and
beat
up
a
guard
,
intending
to

at
Bramton-Brierly
,
the
whole
number
of
their
Horse
amounting
to

At
this
Camisade
,
they
surprised
at

and
Mylford

Foot
,
and
disabled
Colonel
Wren's
Regiment
of
Horse
.
All
their
Arms
they
endeavoured
to
have
carried
off
,
laying
them
in
heaps
on
the
street
,
till
they
could
get
Carriages
to
convey
them
away

and
Colonel
Lilburn
,
who
had
attended
their
Motion
,
fell
upon
them
with
the
like
number
of
fresh
Horse
;
and
after
a
sharp
dispute
,
where
Copley's
Regiment
were
first
defeated
,
the
Royalists
were
forced
to
give
back
,
and
so
fled
Northwards
;
the
enemy
recovering
all
their
Arms
and
Prisoners
,
took
400
of
them
Prisoners

(
among
the
slain
was

;
and
the
best
prize
of
all

was

Lord

charged
with
disloyalty
by
divers
Lords
,
the

his
friend
.
The
King
was
at
Newark
▪
where
a
dissention
happned
concerning
this
very
misfortune
,
as
if
it
had
not
been
calamitous
enough
it self
,
while
the
King
and
the
Lord
Bellasis
(
then
Governour
of
that
Town
)
sided
with
the
reputation
of
the
Lord
Digby
,
against
the
imputation
with
which
the
two
Princes
Rupert
and
Maurice
,
the
Lord
Gerrard
,
Sir
Richard
Willis
,
(
formerly
Governour
of
the
same
)
charged
him
,
as
disloyal
and
treacherous
.
For
upon
t●●s
difference
,
which
was
grown
to
a
quarrel
,
the
Lord
Gerrard
,
and
Sir
Richard
Willis
,
with
some
hundreds
more
,
withdrew
themselves
in
a
discontent
,
and
laid
down
their
Commissions
;
and
the
two
Princes
,
as
they
were
coming
to
take
their
leave
of
the
King
in
the
same
mood
,
were
treating
with
General
Poyntz
for
Passes
and
Terms
according
to
their
respective
qualities
.
This
was
first
agitated
at
Worton-house
,
some
fourteen
miles
from
Newark
,
and
was
accordingly
entertained
by
the
Parliament
,
who
gave
Colonel
Rossiter
order
to
give
such
Passes
and
Conditions
;
the
severest
whereof
was
,
That
all
persons
going
beyond
Seas
by
Warrant
of
either
Houses
,
and
after
returning
,
shall
have
neither
pardon
nor
quarter
given
them
by
the
Parliament
.
The
King
returns
to
Oxford
.
The
King
staid
at
Newark
about
ten
days
;
it
being
reputed
the
safest
Garrison
he
had
,
for
that
there
was
no
considerable
enemy
neer
it
;
and
the
Souldiers
within
were
numerous
and
resolute
,
and
the
place
known
to
be
tenable
and
well
provided
,
and
besides
,
lay
most
advantagious
for
the
King
to
draw
together
any
Force
,
having
lost
and
drayned
most
of
his
Garrisons
in
other
Counties
:
But
upon
this
Feud
,
and
untowardness
of
his
affairs
,
he
in
the
beginning
of
November
departed
from
hence
,
with
a
Convoy
of
600
Horse
to
Oxford
;
so
free
and
safe
was
the
passage
in

The

was
now
approaching

Basing-house
stormed

for
thither

The

in
the
morning
:
Pickering
stormed
the
new
house
,
passed
through
,
and
got
the
gate
of
the
old
house
;
whereupon
the
defendants
beat
a
Parly
,
but
it
would
not
be
hearkened
,
to
.
In
the
mean
time
Mountague
and
Waller's
Regiments
assaulted
the
strongest
Works
,
where
their
Court
of
guard
was
kept
,
which
they
resolutely
recovered
,
with
a
whole
Culverin
;
and
drawing
their
Ladders
after
them
,
got
over
another
Work
,
and
the
House-Wall
,
before
they
could
enter
.
Sir

supposed
)

,
and
Sir

This
Fortress
of
Loyalty
,
(
the
place
being
called
by
that
name
,
Love
Loyalty
being
written
in
every
window
of
that
spacious
house
)
which
Mr.
Peters
said
,
(
who
gave
the
relation
of
its
taking
to
the
house
of
Commons
)
would
become
an
Emperor
to
dwell
in
,
by
the
spite
and
fury
of
a
Rebellious
crew
was
turned
into
Ashes
,
Basing-house
demolished
.
to
the
incredible
loss
of
the
Marquess
,
who
notwithstanding
in
the
very
ruining
of
it
was
heard
to
say
,
That
if
the
King
had
no
more
ground
in
England
but
Basing-house
,
he
would
adventure
as
he
did
,
and
so
maintain
it
to
the
utmost
.
It
was
commonly
called
Basting-house
,
and
that
truely
enough
;
but
now
it
must
needs
crumble
under
the
heavy
load
of
the
Kings
adverse
fortune
,
which
brought
three
Kingdomes
with
it
to
no
less
a
ruine
.
The
plunder
great
and
rich
.
Great
and
rich
was
the
plunder
here
;
one
Common
Souldier
getting
300
pounds
in
silver
,
and
was
left
in
an
instant
by
his
Camerades
worth
but
one
Half-crown
of
it
all
.
And
no
less
was
the
quantity
of
provisions
,
which
were
enough
to
suffice
for
some
years
.
All
which
came
into
the
Conquerours
hands
entire
,
with
a
Bed
worth
1400
pounds
;
who
unhandsomly
enough
seized
and
disposed
of
them
;
the
account
whereof
will
one
day
be
as
justly
required
.
Langford-house
Surrend●ed
to
Cromwel
.
These
Services
being
over
,
and
the
Western-Road
cleared
,
Cromwel
was
commanded
to
attend
on
the
General
,
now
advanced
after
the
Lord
Goring
:
in
his
way
thither
,
he
came
and
besieged
Langford-house
,
belonging
to
the
Lord
of
Colerain
,
neer
Salisbury
,
and
upon
Summons
,
had
it
delivered
to
him
upon
fair
and
equal
Conditions
,
October
18.
While
the
General
on
the
19
intending
to
storm
Tiverton
,
the
Chain
of
the
Draw-bridge
by
one
unlucky
shot
broke
in
two
,
and
let
down
the
bridge
;
whereupon
the
Souldiers
ran
in
,
and
seized
all
but
the
Church
and
Castle
,
which
were
presently
yeilded
,
and
quarter
upon
their
asking
for
it
given
;
but
plundered
they
were
even
to
their
skins
.
Here
was
taken
one
Major
Sadler
,
an
active
valorous
fellow
,
who
had
revolted
from
the
Parliament-side
,
and
had
now
held
intelligence
,
and
proffered
them
the
like
service
he
had
done
the
King
,
for
his
pardon
;
notwithstanding
he
was
cond●mned
,
and
yet
made
a
shift
to
escape
to
Exeter
,
where
upon
the
same
score
of
Treachery
to
them
,
Tiverton
taken
by
Fairfax
.
Major
Sadler
executed
:
Sir
Gilbert
Talbot
taken
Prisoner
.
having
understood
of
his
practices
(
by
collusion
no
doubt
of
both
parties
)
and
for
deserting
of
his
post
at
Tiverton
,
he
was
sentenced
and
executed
.
Here
was
also
taken
Sir
Gilbert
Talbot
the
Governour
,
and
4
Majors
,
and
200
Common
Souldiers
,
who
were
made
Prisoners
of
War
.
There
was
nothing
now
left
the
King
in
the
West
,
but
what
lay
in
the
farthermost
parts
of
Devonshire
and
Cornwal
,
Transactions
in
the
West
betwixt
the
Armies
.
and
6000
Horse
,
of
whom
the
onely
fear
was
,
left
they
might
break
through
and
get
Eastward
:
The
Country
therefore
was
commanded
to
keep
diligent
Watch
,
and
to
be
assistant
in
intelligence
,
if
the
Royalists
should
attempt
it
:
and
because
it
was
Winter-time
,
and
the
Army
wearied
,
it
was
not
thought
fit
to
advance
after
the
Royalists
,
but
to
set
down
before
Exeter
.
The
siege
of
Exeter
,
by
the
Lord
Fairfax
.
Prince
Rupert
endeavours
accommodation
with
Fairfax
.
During
this
siege
,
which
was
at
a
good
distance
,
blocking
up
the
City
by
Forts
round
about
it
,
an
Accommodation
was
endeavoured
by
the
Prince
with
the
Lord
Fairfax
,
by
a
Letter
sent
to
him
from
the
Lord
Capel
for
Passes
and
such
other
previous
things
to
a
Treaty
,
which
he
desired
should
take
effect
betwixt
the
King
his
Father
and
the
Parliament
:
but
Fairfax
refused
that
,
saying
he
was
a
Souldier
,
and
but
the
servant
of
the
Parliament
,
who
alone
might
so
allow
,
or
consider
of
such
desires
.
This
was
seconded
by
General
Goring
,
General
Goring
goes
into
France
.
whose
design
was
like
that
intended
before
when
the
Earl
of
Essex
was
at
Lestithiel
,
to
have
both
Armies
joyn
,
and
make
the
King
and
Parliament
come
to
a
conclusion
and
peace
;
Lord
Wentworth
commands
his
Troops
.
but
this
with
no
other
effect
than
formerly
.
Soon
after
this
,
General
Goring
passed
over
into
France
,
leaving
his
Troops
to
the
command
of
the
Lord
Wentworth
,
resolving
to
return
with
supplyes
by
Spring
:
but
providence
had
otherwise
determined
of
the
Kings
affairs
.
The
King
was
very
industrious
,
but
his
Councels
so
distracted
with
the
refractoriness
of
his
Fortune
,
that
he
could
effect
nothing
;
nevertheless
,
to
shew
his
willingness
,
A
skirmish
at
Corf
-
Castle
between
the
Kings
Horse
and
the
Parliaments
;
the
Kings
Horse
worsted
.
and
to
be
doing
,
he
sent
a
party
of
Horse
Westward
,
which
for
a
while
rambled
up
and
down
about
Oxford
,
fetching
in
Contribution
,
to
the
regret
of
the
Parliament
,
who
complained
of
it
to
their
General
,
who
presently
sent
away
a
party
of
Horse
,
who
fell
upon
some
of
those
Horse
neer
Corf-Castle
,
and
rescued
the
Committee-men
of
Dorset
at
War●ham
taken
by
them
;
and
seeing
no
further
danger
of
those
Horse
,
returned
to
their
Army
,
there
being
some
likelihood
of
engagement
.
For
it
was
now
resolved
by
the
Prince
,
by
all
means
to
free
Exeter
,
about
which
City
some
inconsiderable
skirmishes
had
happened
,
till
the
taking
of
Pouldram-Castle
;
Captain
(
afterwards
Colonel
)
Deane
,
Comptrouler
of
the
Ordnance
,
appearing
therein
very
active
:
and
it
was
informed
the
Lord
Hopton
,
that
the
Army
was
wasted
with
sickness
;
which
indeed
was
true
,
but
they
never
wanted
recruits
,
nor
any
other
necessary
:
so
that
the
Prince
having
come
as
far
as
Okehampton
,
in
his
way
understanding
the
force
of
the
Army
,
drew
back
again
;
whereupon
Fairfax
presently
set
down
before
Dartmouth
,
Fairfax
at
Dartmouth
.
Plymouth
siege
d●serted
.
being
so
far
advanced
,
and
gave
notice
of
the
Princes
retreat
to
Plymouth
,
to
encourage
them
in
their
defence
;
who
having
been
long
besieged
,
and
bar'd
of
all
Trade
by
land
,
were
impatient
of
the
Siege
,
but
had
lately
made
a
successful
Salley
,
and
expected
a
final
deliverance
from
their
General
,
now
something
neer
them
;
which
accordingly
happened
without
the
Generals
presence
,
for
the
onely
Rumour
of
his
coming
served
turn
.
The
Prince
being
marched
back
without
any
encounter
,
Lord
Wentworth
worsted
by
Cromwel
.
save
that
Cromwel
beat
up
one
of
my
Lord
Wentworth's
Brigades
quarters
at
Bovey-Tracy
,
and
took
some
50
Prisoners
,
and
300
Horse
;
and
a
skirmish
by
Sir
Hardress
Waller
,
where
he
took
some
Prisoners
also
;
the
General
resolved
to
attaque
Dartmouth
,
a
Port-Town
,
and
where
supplies
from
France
or
else-where
might
be
landed
;
and
therefore
summoned
Sir
Hugh
Pollard
the
Governour
,
who
refused
to
treat
;
Darmouth
stormed
and
taken
,
Sir
Hugh
Pollard
Governour
.
which
put
him
in
a
resolution
to
storm
it
.
He
came
thither
on
the
12
of
Ianuary
,
and
on
the
18
at
eleven
at
night
furiously
assaulted
it
,
having
no
Artillery
with
him
;
yet
his
men
went
on
against
100
Pieces
ready
mounted
,
which
being
but
once
discharged
against
them
,
they
got
under
them
,
and
quickly
turned
them
against
the
Town
,
which
they
presently
mastered
,
together
with
the
Castle
which
commanded
the
River
.
There
were
two
other
great
Forts
,
wherein
were
34
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
that
stood
a
mile
from
the
Town
;
Sir
Henry
Cary
hath
conditions
to
march
,
the
Governour
and
the
Earl
of
Newport
have
quarter
given
.
who
beat
a
Parley
,
but
in
the
hurry
and
noise
could
not
be
heard
:
at
last
one
of
them
,
in
which
was
Sir
Henry
Cary
,
had
Conditions
to
march
away
,
he
and
his
Officers
with
Arms
;
but
the
Governour
,
the
Earl
of
Newport
,
Colonel
Seymor
,
and
Mr.
Denham
,
in
the
other
,
could
gain
no
other
Conditions
but
Quarter
.
Here
the
General
practised
a
civil
Stratagem
,
giving
all
the
Cornish-men
their
liberty
,
and
two
shillings
a
man
to
carry
them
home
;
they
being
the
onely
standing
,
as
they
had
been
constant
,
enemy
to
〈◊〉
Parliament
.
The
General
went
on
board
Vice-Admiral
Batten
,
who
●●●ked
●he
place
up
by
Sea
,
and
was
nobly
treated
.
From
thence
the
Parliament-Army
marched
to
Totnes
,
and
so
back
again
to
the
Siege
at
Exeter
;
but
were
from
thence
diverted
again
by
another
action
:
for
news
came
that
the
Prince
was
fully
resolved
to
attempt
something
in
relief
of
that
City
,
and
to
that
purpose
had
made
up
his
Army
neer
10000
strong
,
having
mustered
and
assembled
a
great
many
of
the
Cornish
at
Launceston
,
and
were
come
as
far
as
Torrington
;
Torrington
-
fight
.
and
Letters
were
intercepted
from
the
Lord
Wentworth
to
Sir
Iohn
Berkley
the
Governour
,
encouraging
him
with
expectation
of
Relief
.
On
the
15
of
February
,
the
Parliaments
Army
rendezvoused
within
two
miles
of
Torrington
,
where
the
Lord
Hapton
continued
;
and
an
eye
was
kept
by
Colonel
Cook
,
who
for
that
purpose
lay
about
Barnstable
,
that
they
should
not
break
through
.
On
the
16
of
February
,
the
Army
marched
,
and
by
five
in
the
evening
drew
up
their
Van
in
the
Park
,
and
Forlorns
were
sent
out
,
betwixt
Torrington
and
Mr.
Roll's
house
,
to
line
Hedges
,
to
make
good
the
retreat
of
the
Horse
.
The
Lord
Hopton
likewise
drew
out
of
the
Town
,
four
or
five
Closes
off
,
and
lined
the
Hedges
within
a
Close
of
the
enemy
,
and
flankt
his
Foot
with
Horse
;
whereupon
the
Enemy
sent
good
Reserves
,
lest
by
the
advantage
of
the
ground
they
might
be
encompassed
.
Towards
night
the
Lord
Hopton
drew
off
from
some
of
the
Closes
he
formerly
possessed
;
which
the
enemy
entred
,
and
made
a
halt
,
intending
not
to
venture
upon
the
Town
,
barricadoed
,
and
such
a
strength
within
it
,
in
the
dark
:
but
hearing
a
noise
in
the
Town
,
as
if
the
Royalists
were
retreating
,
and
being
loth
that
they
should
go
off
without
some
taste
of
their
old
Fortune
and
Success
,
the
Parliamentarians
sent
a
party
of
Dragoons
to
fire
on
the
enemy
neer
the
Hedges
and
Barricadoes
,
and
withal
to
get
some
intelligence
of
the
estate
of
the
Royalists
in
the
Town
.
This
being
accordingly
attempted
,
the
Dragoons
were
answered
with
a
round
Volley
of
Shot
;
thereupon
their
Forlorn
Hope
of
Foot
went
and
engaged
themselves
to
bring
off
the
Dragoons
;
and
the
Reserve
fell
on
to
bring
off
their
Forlorn
.
The
Royalists
also
drew
out
Supplies
and
Seconds
,
and
reinforced
the
Hedges
,
standing
as
before
.
Both
Armies
far
engaged
,
the
Parliamentarians
manifesting
a
resolution
to
go
on
for
all
their
disadvantage
of
the
night
,
it
came
at
last
to
a
plain
Fight
,
the
Regiments
successively
falling
on
;
which
continued
a
hot
service
for
two
hours
,
till
at
last
the
Royalists
were
beaten
from
their
aforesaid
Hedges
,
and
up
to
their
Barricadoes
,
where
they
again
disputed
it
,
manfully
maintaining
them
at
push
of
Pike
,
and
with
the
But-end
of
their
Musquets
;
and
then
by
command
drew
off
,
and
gave
the
Fairfaxians
entrance
;
where
the
Foot
first
entred
,
and
then
the
Horse
,
who
there
joyntly
charged
the
enemy
drawn
up
in
the
Town
;
the
Lord
Hopton
commanding
the
Rear
to
make
their
retreat
good
;
in
which
action
he
had
his
Horse
shot
dead
under
him
.
Here
the
Parliament-foot
were
forced
back
again
to
the
Barricadoes
,
where
Colonel
Hammond
opposed
himself
,
and
by
the
assistance
and
timely
supply
of
Major
Stephens
,
beat
Horse
and
Foot
into
the
Town
again
,
it
is
taken
by
the
Parliament
.
from
whence
the
Foot
marched
away
,
but
the
Horse
made
several
stands
,
and
charged
in
at
several
Avenues
of
the
Town
,
and
at
the
Barricadoes
which
themselves
had
deserted
.
In
fine
,
all
their
Horse
marched
over
a
Bridge
,
and
at
several
other
passes
of
the
River
,
and
so
Westward
;
the
Parliamentarians
not
adventuring
to
pursue
them
,
but
contented
themselves
with
those
Prisoners
whom
they
took
in
the
Town
,
being
disordered
and
divided
from
their
Body
by
the
darkness
of
the
night
;
who
being
put
into
the
Church
,
where
the
Lord
Hoptons
Magazine
of
80
Barrels
of
Powder
was
kept
,
and
there
guarded
by
some
of
the
Parliaments
Forces
;
80
ba●rels
of
Powder
fired
in
a
Church
,
the
guard
killed
,
the
Army
and
Town
endangered
.
the
said
Powder
either
casually
or
by
design
was
fired
,
the
Church
blown
into
the
Air
,
those
Prisoners
and
the
Guard
killed
,
and
the
whole
Army
all
over
the
Town
endangered
by
the
stones
,
timber
,
and
lead
,
which
with
the
blast
were-carried
up
very
high
,
and
scattered
throughout
,
and
beyond
the
Town
;
so
that
neer
as
much
mischeif
was
done
by
this
Powder
,
as
by
the
Powder
and
Bullet
together
in
the
Fight
,
scarce
a
stone
being
left
standing
of
the
Church
,
which
since
is
raised
from
its
ruines
.
The
Royalists
fought
resolutely
here
,
the
Cornish
not
forgetting
the
reputation
they
had
formerly
got
during
the
War
:
For
here
were
not
taken
in
all
above
400
Prisoners
,
the
chief
whereof
were
Lieutenant-Colonel
Wood
,
eight
Captains
,
Commissary
Boney
,
six
Lieutenants
,
one
Cornet
,
three
Ensignes
,
one
Chyrurgion
,
four
Serjeants
,
fifty
two
Troopers
,
one
hundred
twenty
seven
Gentlemen
,
and
about
150
common
Souldiers
,
and
six
Colours
.
The
slain
were
Major
Threave
and
Captain
Fry
,
the
Lords
Hopton
and
Capel
wounded
,
and
the
Lord
Hopton's
Commission
to
be
General
under
the
Prince
,
Lord
Hopton
and
Lord
Capel
wounded
.
Lord
Hoptons
Commission
taken
.
and
500
pounds
in
money
left
in
Portmantles
,
came
also
to
the
hands
of
the
Victors
.
The
Lord
Hopton
after
this
Encounter
made
back
into
Cornwal
,
where
he
rendezvouzed
his
Army
again
;
whither
the
Princes
Regiment
of
eight
hundred
Horse
,
and
some
other
additional
Cavalry
of
the
County
,
not
before
joyned
with
them
,
came
in
,
and
so
made
up
a
new
entire
Body
of
five
thousand
Horse
,
able
to
give
Battel
again
to
their
enemy
,
on
convenient
Champion
ground
,
or
at
least
in
such
a
condition
as
to
make
their
own
terms
.
And
the
policy
of
the
Lord
Hopton
was
as
eminent
as
his
valour
in
the
late
service
,
having
thereby
given
a
fair
earnest
for
a
Victory
;
Lord
Hopton
a
valiant
and
discreet
Souldier
.
and
made
them
consider
of
his
Forces
,
if
reduced
to
a
necessity
of
fighting
,
as
of
couragious
brave
spirits
,
to
whom
Fortune
could
not
but
be
obliged
to
a
favourable
aspect
;
and
her
least
inconstancy
would
undo
the
Fairfaxians
.
We
will
now
draw
off
from
those
main
Bodies
,
this
whole
Winter
in
the
field
,
Shelford
-
house
stormed
and
taken
,
and
return
to
the
Garrisons
,
who
thick
and
threefold
rendred
themselves
to
the
Parliament
:
We
will
begin
with
Shelford-house
,
where
Colonel
Stanhop
,
akin
to
the
Earl
of
Chesterfield
,
was
Governour
;
which
after
Summons
refused
,
by
Maj.
Gen.
Poyntz
.
Col.
Stanhop
the
Governour
thereof
killed
,
and
the
house
demolished
.
was
stormed
by
Major-General
Poyntz
,
who
put
all
to
the
Sword
they
met
with
:
some
Gentlemen
getting
within
a
Seiling
till
the
fury
was
over
,
found
quarter
;
the
Governour
himself
was
killed
in
the
defence
after
the
House
was
entred
,
and
the
House
demolished
.
On
the
4
of
December
,
the
magnanimous
Countess
of
Derby
,
who
had
endured
a
Siege
off
and
on
for
two
years
last
past
,
rendred
Latham-house
to
the
Parliament
upon
very
fair
terms
;
The
Countess
of
Derby
surrenders
Larham
-
house
.
the
Governour
,
Officers
,
and
Souldiers
to
march
out
either
to
the
Garrison
of
Tidbury
,
or
Ashby
de
la
zouch
.
In
this
Siege
I
may
not
omit
one
Military
neat
Stratagem
:
The
besiegers
at
dinner-time
were
jearing
the
Garrison
with
Shoulders
of
mutton
and
fresh-meat
they
shewed
them
:
A
neat
Stratagem
.
whereupon
a
Captain
sallied
out
,
took
both
the
guests
and
the
provision
,
and
two
Colours
,
and
brought
them
into
the
House
;
Whereupon
the
Assaylants
took
the
Alarm
,
both
great
and
small
Guns
playing
on
both
sides
.
This
continuing
for
a
while
,
the
Captain
caused
the
Colours
he
had
taken
to
be
set
on
the
Works
backward
from
the
Post
where
he
had
surprized
them
;
which
they
of
that
quarter
seeing
,
and
imagining
their
men
on
the
other
side
had
entred
the
House
,
and
erected
their
Ensigns
,
they
fell
on
without
fear
or
wit
,
Bolton
-
Castle
and
Beeston
-
Castle
delivered
.
and
were
presently
cut
down
in
heaps
,
and
beaten
to
their
Trenches
,
Bolton-Castle
,
and
Beeston-Castle
in
Lancashire
,
were
likewise
delivered
to
the
Parliament
;
and
Hereford-City
surprized
by
another
Stratagem
,
the
manner
thus
.
The
Garrison
was
strong
and
well
appointed
,
Hereford
taken
by
surpris●
.
December
18.
the
inlet
also
for
the
Kings
Welch
Forces
,
and
therefore
much
aimed
at
;
and
to
that
purpose
intelligence
had
been
held
by
some
within
,
from
Colonel
Birch
and
Colonel
Morgan
Governour
of
Gloucester
;
but
their
greedy
and
impatient
desire
of
the
present
possession
,
abrupted
all
those
practices
,
and
put
them
upon
an
honester
and
safer
way
:
With
2000
Horse
and
Foot
they
came
from
Gloucester
in
one
day
and
night
,
where
they
had
provided
six
men
in
Country-habits
,
with
a
seventh
like
a
Constable
(
in
pursuance
of
Warrants
directed
the
day
before
to
the
adjacent
Villages
,
for
some
Labourers
to
be
sent
in
to
break
the
Ice
in
the
Trenches
,
and
such
other
work
)
by
morning
to
present
themselves
at
the
Gates
;
and
as
seconds
to
them
,
were
placed
150
Firelocks
,
which
in
the
covert
of
the
night
were
lodged
as
neer
as
possible
out
of
discovery
;
and
next
them
,
a
Body
of
men
ready
at
hand
to
succeed
in
the
attempt
,
and
enter
with
them
.
Accordingly
the
stratagem
took
effect
;
the
Draw-bridge
was
let
down
to
the
Constable
and
his
crew
,
with
their
Pickaxes
and
Spades
;
which
they
no
sooner
possessed
,
but
the
Guard
began
to
suspect
,
and
make
some
resistance
;
but
the
Reserves
powring
in
upon
them
,
after
three
of
them
were
killed
,
the
Town
was
entred
,
first
by
Colonel
Birch
and
his
Firelocks
,
and
then
by
Morgan
:
The
Garrison
amazed
,
presently
submitted
,
and
yeilded
themselves
Prisoners
;
the
chief
whereof
were
the
Lord
Brudenel
,
Lord
Brudenel
,
fourteen
Knights
,
and
Iudge
Jenkins
taken
Prisoners
.
fourteen
Knights
,
Judge
Ienkins
,
(
of
whom
more
hereafter
)
four
Lieutenant-Colonels
,
five
Captains
,
Officers
and
Gentlemen
neer
a
hundred
more
,
besides
eleven
Pieces
of
Ordnance
mounted
,
with
Provision
sutable
to
the
strength
and
quality
of
the
place
.
This
loss
was
very
much
regretted
by
the
Royalists
,
who
now
perceived
that
Fortunes
right
and
left
hand
,
Valour
and
Policy
,
were
lifted
up
against
them
.
The
next
place
of
importance
which
followed
the
fate
of
the
Kings
declination
,
Westchester
taken
.
was
the
City
of
Chester
,
which
had
been
long
besieged
,
and
thrice
attempted
to
be
relieved
;
Sir
William
Brereton
Commander
for
the
Parliament
.
and
still
rendred
worse
,
by
the
loss
and
slaughter
of
their
friends
that
came
to
its
rescue
,
as
we
have
said
before
.
Sir
William
Brereton
now
commanded
in
chief
,
as
Major-General
of
those
Counties
;
who
civilly
courted
the
Lord
Byron
the
Governour
to
a
Surrender
,
laying
before
him
the
impossibility
of
any
Army
of
Forces
that
could
be
advanced
that
way
,
for
that
the
King
was
beset
in
all
his
Garrisons
,
either
by
close
or
open
Sieges
:
which
at
last
the
Noble
Lord
hearkned
unto
,
Lord
Byron
surrenders
Chester
.
and
upon
very
honourable
Conditions
,
Surrendred
it
by
Articles
,
the
3
of
February
.
And
thence
Sir
William
went
to
besiege
Litchfield-close
,
which
not
long
after
he
gayned
by
the
same
way
of
Treaty
,
as
will
appear
in
its
due
place
.
Several
other
places
of
lesser
concernment
without
much
parley
surrendred
likewise
,
suspected
of
bribery
or
such-like
practises
,
which
were
finely
palliated
by
the
necessity
that
compelled
the
greater
to
their
rendition
.
The
Court
of
Wards
Voted
down
.
The
House
now
upon
discharging
the
Wardship
of
the
heirs
male
of
Sir
Christopher
Wray
,
a
Member
of
the
said
House
,
take
an
occasion
to
Vote
down
the
Court
of
Wards
and
Liveries
.
The
Kings
Forces
under
Sir
Jacob
Ashley
defeated
at
Stow
in
the
Would
,
March
12.
All
the
Kings
strength
in
the
field
,
except
that
Army
that
was
pen'd
up
in
Cornwal
,
was
now
collected
under
the
Command
of
the
Lord
Ashley
,
who
was
marching
to
joyn
his
Infantry
with
the
Kings
remains
of
his
Cavalry
about
Farringdon
,
whereabouts
Colonel
Rainsborough
and
Fleetwood
kept
their
Post
,
having
an
eye
upon
that
design
of
conjunction
;
and
Colonel
Morgan
and
Sir
William
Brereton
pursued
him
in
the
Rear
,
from
Hereford
and
Worcestershire
.
At
Stow
in
the
Would
,
they
overtook
and
set
upon
him
,
wearied
in
his
Quarters
;
but
his
men
were
yet
not
willing
to
resigne
their
swords
,
till
after
a
fair
dispute
they
were
over-powred
,
1500
taken
Prisoners
,
with
himself
,
and
all
his
Baggage
and
Ammunition
.
Sir
Jacob
Ashley
taken
Prisoner
.
This
was
the
last
battel
that
was
fought
hac
vice
for
the
King
in
England
,
and
which
put
a
period
to
any
further
attempts
in
the
field
;
the
Royalists
being
forced
to
take
up
in
their
strong
Holds
,
or
submit
to
the
Parliament
,
and
endeavour
a
Composition
;
which
was
the
main
work
,
but
too
hastily
entred
upon
,
as
their
own
sad
experience
soon
informed
them
.
Lord
Hopton
disbands
.
And
just
before
this
,
the
14
of
March
,
the
Lord
Hopton
accepted
of
Terms
for
the
disbanding
of
his
Army
,
which
was
in
this
manner
.
After
this
worsting
at
Torrington
,
and
marching
back
into
Cornwal
,
General
Fairfax
followed
him
within
two
days
to
Launceston
,
(
where
Colonel
Basset
with
500
men
at
first
made
opposition
,
but
was
compelled
to
abandon
it
,
as
likewise
Saltash
was
quitted
,
and
Mount
Edgecomb
offered
a
Treaty
)
and
not
far
from
thence
Sir
Iames
Smith
with
a
strong
party
fell
upon
some
of
the
Van
of
their
Army
with
good
success
;
Sir
James
Smith
falls
on
a
party
of
Parliamentarians
,
with
success
.
The
Prince
and
Lord
Culpeper
set
sail
for
Scilly
.
but
having
notice
of
Cromwels
approach
,
timely
withdrew
,
and
gave
them
liberty
to
possess
Bodmin
,
while
the
Lord
Hopton
made
his
head-Quarters
at
Truro
:
from
whence
the
Prince
embarqued
,
and
set
Sail
for
the
Island
of
Scilly
,
with
the
Lord
Culpeper
and
others
:
which
occasioned
General
Fairfax
to
complement
the
Lord
Hopton
to
a
disbanding
,
as
reckoning
them
,
by
the
Princes
forsaking
them
,
as
good
as
lost
.
Among
other
terms
offered
him
,
this
to
his
particular
self
,
as
being
honour
from
the
mouth
of
an
enemy
,
is
requisite
to
be
inserted
.
Lord
Hopton
complemented
by
the
Parliament
General
.
Lastly
,
for
your self
,
besides
what
is
imployed
to
you
in
common
with
others
,
you
may
be
assured
of
such
Meditation
to
the
Parliament
on
your
behalf
,
both
from
my self
and
others
,
as
for
one
whom
for
personal
worth
and
many
vertues
,
but
especially
for
your
care
of
,
and
moderation
towards
the
Country
,
we
honour
and
esteem
above
any
other
of
your
party
;
whose
error
(
supposing
you
more
swayed
with
principles
of
Honour
and
Conscience
)
we
most
pity
,
and
whose
happiness
,
so
far
as
is
consistant
with
the
publique
welfare
,
we
should
delight
in
,
more
than
in
your
least
suffering
.
In
the
mean
while
the
Army
advanced
,
and
neer

Columbe
beat
up

Quarters
of

Major-General
Perr
,
a
gallant-Commander
,
mortally
wounded
.
who
made
a
gallant
Charge
through
the
enemy
,
and
broke
their
first
divisions
;
but
fresh
supplies
coming
,
they
drew
off
in
order
,
leaving
behind
them
Major-General
Pert
,
a
gallant
person
,
mortally
wounded
,
a
Prisoner
;
but
so
rebated
the
edge
of
the
enemies
courage
,
that
they
halted
a
while
,
and
part
of
the
Army
drew
back
to
Bodmin
,
more
resolved
for
Treaty
than
Conquest
:
To
which
place
came
the
Lord
Hopton's
answer
,
wherein
he
pretended
his
understanding
of
a
likelyhood
of
agreement
between
the
King
his
Master
and
the
Parliament
,
which
he
said
without
any
other
Treaty
would
conclude
him
,
and
desired
to
be
referred
thereto
:
but
Fairfax
urging
this
Overture
to
his
advantage
,
would
allow
of
no
such
delays
;
but
his
Terms
he
offered
being
honourable
,
was
all
he
could
grant
;
acquainting
his
Lordship
that
there
was
no
such
probability
of
Accommodation
(
and
indeed
his
Lordship
was
greatly
mistaken
,
for
there
was
never
any
such
intention
before
nor
after
)
and
delays
were
dangerous
,
in
respect
of
assistance
both
from
the
French
and
Irish
,
which
had
been
promised
to
be
landed
for
the
Kings
service
in
that
County
.
Hereupon
the
Army
also
advancing
,
A
Treaty
concluded
on
at
Tresilian
-
bridge
:
a
Cessation
agreed
on
.
a
Treaty
was
concluded
on
at
Tresilian-bridge
,
and
a
Cessation
agreed
to
;
and
the
General
thereupon
,
though
with
much
reluctancy
of
the
Lord
Hopton
,
made
Truro
his
Head-quarters
;
so
that
now
the
Kings
Forces
had
but
six
miles
in
bredth
,
being
as
it
were
pounded
up
,
as
Essex
before
.
The
conclusion
of
the
Treaty
was
followed
by
the
rendition
of
St.
Mawes
Castle
.
The
number
of
the
disbanded
was
nine
Brigades
;
Nine

,
the
Lord
Cleveland's
of

,
Major-General
Web's
of

,
the
Lord
Hopton's
commanded
by
Colonel
Bevil
,
the
Lord
Goring's
of
five
,
and
the
Princes
Regiment
consisting
of
seven
hundred
,
and
Sir
Richard
Greenvil's
Reformadoes
.
The
Conditions
were
,
The
Conditions
of
their
disbanding
.
That
they
should
march
away
with
Horse
and
Arms
,
in
number
according
to
their
respective
qualities
more
or
less
,
as
they
should
chuse
to
go
abroad
to
Foreign
Service
,
or
with
Passes
to
go
home
:
each
Colonel
with
eight
or
six
horses
,
six
or
two
pair
of
Pistols
;
and
so
other
inferior
Officers
respectively
;
the
common
Troopers
to
have
twenty
shillings
a
man
for
their
Horses
;
which
,
upon
ratifying
the
Agreement
being
noised
,
many
of
the
Royalists
sold
their
horses
before-hand
,
and
got
spittle-Jades
in
their
stead
,
which
upon
their
disbanding
were
turned
upon
their
hand
.
The
Lord
Hopton
was
allowed
fourty
Horse
and
Arms
for
himself
and
twelve
men
;
the
Lord
Wentworth
twenty
five
Horse
and
Arms
for
himself
and
eight
men
.
These
were
the
most
material
,
Th●●
take
shipping
at
Plymouth
.
and
in
six
days
performed
.
All
the
French
were
presently
shipped
for
their
Country
,
by
provision
made
by
the
General
at
Plymouth
,
whither
he
went
accompanied
by
Lieutenant-General
Cromwel
,
being
welcomed
by
the
discharge
of
300
Pieces
of
Ordnance
,
while
the
Army
retreated
back
into
Devon-shire
,
to
make
an
end
of
the
Siege
of
Exceter
,
where
Sir
Hardress
Waller
had
continued
during
this
Cornish
Expedition
;
and
the
Lords
Hopton
and
Wentworth
,
not
deigning
the
Jurisdiction
,
or
indeed
any
favour
from
their
fellow-subjects
at
Westminster
,
Lord
Hopton
and
Wentworth
sail
into
Scilly
.
who
Lorded
it
at
a
brave
rate
,
gallantly
waived
and
declined
any
advantage
(
but
what
was
Military
)
in
the
Articles
,
and
Sailed
after
the
Prince
into
Scilly
.
About
this
time
a
resolute
Attempt
was
made
upon
Abingdon
,
Abingdon
attempted
by
Sir
Stephen
Hawkins
.
where
Major-General
Brown
was
Governour
(
as
before
)
then
absent
in
London
,
by
a
strong
party
under
the
command
of
Sir
Stephen
Hawkins
from
Oxford
:
The
Foot
had
gained
the
Works
,
and
had
entred
the
Town
as
far
as
the
Market-place
;
but
some
resistance
being
there
made
,
and
the
Horse-guard
taking
the
Alarm
by
the
appearance
of
Major
Blundel
,
who
desperately
charged
,
they
were
by
Force
driven
out
again
;
no
Horse
,
but
onely
three
Gentlemen
of
Christ-Church
Oxon
,
clambering
over
to
assist
them
;
Ashby
de●la-zouch
surrendred
to
the
Parliament
by
the
Lord
Loughborough
.
the
Pioneers
and
their
instruments
being
so
far
behind
in
the
Rear
,
that
they
could
not
timely
advance
to
make
a
breach
for
the
Cavalry
to
enter
:
and
so
that
noble
design
,
not
without
suspition
of
treachery
,
was
frustrated
.
Ashby
de-la-zouch
,
the
maiden-Garrison
,
that
was
never
before
Besieged
during
the
War
,
was
now
rendred
by
the
Lord
Loughborough
,
(
whose
Government
it
was
)
upon
honourable
terms
to
the
Parliament
.
And
so
we
have
finished
this
unfortunate
year
,
which
with
its
period
and
revolution
may
be
said
to
have
concluded
the
Government
;
Monarchy
being
beaten
out
of
the
field
and
out
of
doors
together
;
the
Enemies
thereof
having
nothing
more
of
hazard
to
do
,
but
to
encounter
its
Authority
at
the
Bar
with
Pleas
,
not
in
Battalia
with
push
of
pike
;
and
so
the
main
of
the
Interregnum
between
that
and
the
Kings
death
,
was
spent
in
contrivances
,
designs
and
new
models
of
I
know
not
what
;
whereof
(
after
the
reduction
of
some
other
places
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
1646
,
which
languished
in
a
Consumption
till
May
,
the
Critical
month
for
that
disease
)
there
will
be
unwelcome
occasion
for
this
Chronicle
next
to
discourse
.
Anno
Dom.
1646.
Dennington
-
Castle
surrendred
(
Mar.
25.
1646.
)
to
the
Parliament
,
DEnnington-Castle
leads
the
dance
;
and
though
it
had
withstood
the
many
Sieges
and
attempts
made
by
the
enemy
,
could
not
now
resist
its
Fate
,
nor
the
easie
Summons
of
a
Brigade
of
the
Victor-Army
;
but
despairing
of
Relief
,
and
so
of
honourable
Terms
,
if
they
should
stand
to
their
usual
extremity
,
submitted
:
But
out
of
revenge
for
the
slaughter
and
disappointment
the
Parliament
had
suffered
under
its
walls
,
by
the
resolution
of
the
Governour
,
he
upon
his
return
to
his
own
house
according
to
Articles
,
was
notwithstanding
,
contrary
thereunto
,
sued
and
impleaded
for
several
demolitions
by
firing
of
the
out-houses
,
for
the
strength
and
security
of
the
Castle
;
and
by
the
neighbours
for
damages
.
And
to
palliate
this
breach
the
better
,
they
made
an
Ordinance
,
being
cock-sure
of
a
plenary
Conquest
,
That
all
Articles
of
Surrenders
should
insert
the
damages
by
wilful
firing
;
which
as
it
was
most
unjust
,
so
was
it
as
uncivil
and
base
,
and
befitting
none
but
tumultuary
,
head-strong
,
and
undisciplined
enemies
.
And
for
the
fuller
satisfaction
of
their
spleen
and
adust
choler
against
this
Fortress
,
they
themselves
,
not
thinking
of
any
reckoning
,
laid
the
goodly
Fabrick
in
ashes
;
and
demolished
.
made
yet
more
notable
by
its
loyal
ruines
,
than
it
could
have
been
if
standing
.

By
whom
,
after

days
debate
,
it
was
agreed
as
followeth
:
The
Conditions
.
That
the
City
should
be
rendred
to
General
Fairfax
on
Monday
the
13th
of
April
,
with
all
the
Stores
,
&c.
The
Princess
Henrietta
to
depart
any
where
with
her
Governess
,
in
England
and
Wales
,
until
His
Majesty
should
give
order
for
her
disposal
.
The
Cathedral
nor
Churches
to
be
defaced
.
That
the
Garrison
shall
march
out
according
to
the
most
honourable
custom
of
War
,
and
to
have
free
quarter
all
the
way
,
and
not
to
be
compelled
to
march
above
ten
miles
a
day
,
and
with
their
Arms
,
to
the
places
agreed
upon
for
their
laying
them
down
.
The
Composition
of
persons
of
quality
shall
not
exceed
two
years
purchase
.
That
all
persons
comprised
within
these
Articles
,
shall
quietly
and
and
peaceably
enjoy
all
their
goods
,
debts
and
moveables
,
during
the
space
of
four
moneths
next
ensuing
:
And
be
free-from
all
Oaths
,
Covenants
and
Protestations
,
and
have
liberty
within
the
said
time
of
four
moneths
,
in
case
they
shall
not
make
their
Composition
with
the
Parliament
,
and
shall
be
resolved
to
go
beyond
Sea
(
for
which
they
shall
have
Passes
)
to
dispose
of
their
said
goods
,
debts
,
and
moveables
,
allowed
by
these
Articles
.
These
were
the
chief
Articles
,
though
there
were
a
great
many
more
;
very
honourable
all
of
them
,
as
it
was
the
humour
or
else
policy
of
the
Army
to
grant
them
,
and
served
as
the
original
Draught
for
other
places
.
In
these
Articles
Sir
Iohn
Stawel
was
included
,
Sir
John
Stawel
included
in
the
Articles
.
who
for
his
constant
avowance
of
those
Immunities
in
these
Articles
from
Oaths
,
&c.
was
most
dishonourably
and
savagely
used
;
insomuch
that
the
Faith
of
the
Army
,
with
their
disloyal
and
perfidious
actions
towards
the
King
,
appeared
at
the
same
time
alike
villanous
and
tyrannical
.
After
the
Articles
were
signed
,
The
General
marcheth
to
Tiverton
,
which
was
the
ninth
,
the
General
would
not
lose
so
much
time
as
to
stay
till
Munday
the
thirteenth
,
the
time
of
their
Rendition
;
but
though
the
weather
was
unseasonable
,
marched
away
to
Tiverton
,
and
so
to
form
a
Siege
at
Barnstable
,
which
concluded
upon
the
same
Terms
with
Exeter
;
and
then
Dunstar-Castle
,
who
embraced
the
same
Conditions
;
of
which
anon
.
The
West
being
cleared
,
Pendennis-Castle
onely
excepted
,
General
Fairfax
on
the
18th
of
April
began
his
march
towards
Oxford
,
and
towards
Oxford
.
it
being
then
rumoured
that
the
King
in
the
perplexity
of
his
affairs
would
escape
thence
;
but
whither
,
it
could
not
be
so
much
as
conjectured
.
In
his
way
thither
,
saith
one
of
their
own
[

Historians
,
so
many
Complaints
were
made
to
him
of
outrages
and
barbarisms
done
in
contravention
of
the
Articles
both
of
Cornwal
and
Exeter
,
by
the
Committee-Troops
,
(
forsooth
)
that
if
they
were
particularly
related
,
would
make
such
a
Volume
as
would
scarce
be
imagined
.
In
the
interim
of
this
March
,
Woodstock
surrendred
(
April
26
)
to
Colonel
Rainsborough
for
the
Parliament
.
Colonel
Rainsborough
,
who
had
beleaguered
Wood-stock
,
and
attempted
it
by
storm
with
very
great
loss
,
it
being
manfully
defended
,
and
as
well
fortified
,
had
it
at
last
Surrendred
to
him
upon
such
Articles
as
manifested
the
Governours
worth
and
honour
in
the
acknowledgments
thereby
given
him
from
his
Enemies
.
The
King
foreseeing
that
Oxford
was
the
next
place
which
they
designed
,
The
King
leaves
Oxford
,
April
.
27.
not
to
make
his
own
Court
his
Prison
,
what
ever
should
be
done
by
his
Enemies
,
if
it
should
please
God
to
reduce
him
to
that
distress
,
resolved
to
withdraw
himself
in
time
to
the
Scotch
Army
,
who
(
as
was
reported
and
generally
believed
)
had
given
him
some
assurance
,
that
not
onely
his
Majesty
,
but
all
others
,
that
adhered
to
him
,
should
be
safe
in
their
persons
,
honours
and
consciences
in
their
Army
;
yet
not
to
lay
more
upon
them
,
having
so
much
already
,
I
can
hardly
credit
it
.
The
manner
of
the
traverse
of
the
King
is
thus
related
:
He
went
out
of
Oxford
,
as
Colonel
Rainsborough
informed
the
Parliament
(
who
no
doubt
were
well
acquainted
with
it
before
,
for
they
had
no
other
means
to
be
rid
of
the
Kings
instances
for
Peace
(
of
which
hereafter
together
)
that
continually
sounded
in
their
ears
so
neer
hand
,
than
to
have
him
removed
from
so
neer
a
convenience
of
personal
accommodation
)
in
the
disguise
of
a
servant
to
Colonel
Iohn
Ashburn●am
,
who
was
accompanied
with
one
Mr.
Hudson
a
Minister
,
who
for
his
singular
Loyalty
and
fidelity
was
intrusted
in
the
menage
of
that
affair
,
and
for
which
he
deserves
a
better
remarque
,
than
this
Chronicle
can
contribute
or
set
upon
him
;
losing
his
life
afterwards
in
the
same
Cause
,
in
1648
,
in
the
Commotions
of
that
unfortunate
year
.
By
his
Examination
upon
this
business
,
it
appeared
that
the
King
came
first
to
Henly
,
then
to
Brainford
,
and
so
neer
London
,
removed
back
to
Harrow
on
the
hill
,
there
being
a
general
Training
of
the
City-Forces
in
Hide-Park
,
whither
the
King
was
expected
to
come
,
General
Essex
being
them
in
the
field
,
and
his
Majesty
almost
perswaded
to
venture
himself
into
their
hands
;
but
other
Counsels
prevailing
,
he
departed
to
St.
Albans
,
and
thence
to
Harborough
in
Leicestershire
,
where
he
expected
the
French
Agent
with
some
Horse
to
meet
him
,
T●e
King
disguised
com●s
to
the
Scotch
Army
,
May
4.
and
conduct
him
to
the
Scots
:
but
he
mssing
,
the
King
went
(
yet
uncertain
and
irresolute
what
to
do
)
to
Stamford
in
Lincolnshire
,
and
thence
to
Downham
in
Norfolk
,
from
whence
the
examinant
was
sent
to
the
Agent
;
and
upon
his
return
,
they
three
passed
into
the
Scotch
Army
,
where
for
the
present
we
shall
leave
him
with
this
account
of
it
from
the
General
of
that
Army
to
the
Parliament
at
London
,
which
imported
thus
much
.
That
out
of
a
desire
to
keep
a
right
understanding
between
the
two
Kingdomes
,
he
acquainted
them
with
a
strange
providence
with
which
his
Army
was
surprized
,
together
with
their
carriage
and
desires
thereupon
:
That
the
King
came
the
4
of
May
,
in
so
private
a
manner
,
that
after
they
had
made
some
search
for
him
▪
upon
the
surmises
of
persons
who
pretended
to
know
his
face
,
yet
they
could
not
find
him
out
in
sundry
houses
.
Trusting
to
our
integrity
,
we
are
so
far
perswaded
that
none
will
so
far
misconster
us
,
as
to
make
use
of
this
seeming
advantage
,
for
promoting
any
other
ends
than
are
expressed
in
the
Covenant
—
We
do
ingenuously
declare
,
that
there
hath
been
no
Treaty
nor
Capitulation
betwixt
his
Majesty
and
us
,
nor
in
our
names
;
leaving
the
ways
and
means
of
Peace
unto
the
Parliament
of
both
Kingdomes
.
And
with
such
twilight
of
language
concluded
.
This
was
the
happiest
oportunity
that
ever
offered
it self
,
to
do
honour
to
the
Scotch
Nation
,
who
had
the
Peace
of
three
Kingdomes
,
but
their
own
particular
glory
,
at
their
sole
Arbitrement
;
and
how
miserably
they
abused
this
advantage
,
and
how
they
debauched
their
duty
to
their
Prince
,
and
their
reputation
to
the
World
,
we
will
not
descant
upon
,
since
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
,
in
the
year
1661
,
have
so
passionately
protested
against
the
conduct
of
this
business
,
and
have
exempted
from
pardon
whomsoever
shall
afterwards
be
found
guilty
of
this
most
base
and
disloyal
usage
of
the
King
;
of
which
in
its
time
.
Before
this
adventure
,
which
the
King
would
have
avoided
,
if
the
insolence
of
the
prevailing
Houses
at
Westminster
could
have
been
by
any
means
rebated
,
his
Majesty
had
courted
the
Parliament
to
a
Peace
by
several
Letters
and
Messages
from
Oxford
;
The
King
reiterated
Messages
for
peace
:
the
first
,
Dec.
5.
the
abstracts
whereof
it
will
not
be
tedious
to
recite
.
The
first
of
them
was
soon
after
the
aforesaid
overture
from
the
Prince
by
the
Lord
Fairfax
,
and
was
onely
to
desire
a
Pass
or
Safe-conduct
for
the
Duke
of
Richmond
,
the
Earl
of
Southampton
,
John
Ashburnham
and
Jeffery
Palmer
Esquires
,
for
their
journey
and
continuance
at
Westminster
,
being
furnished
with
such
Propositions
as
his
Majesty
was
confident
would
be
the
foundation
of
an
happy
Peace
.
The
Parliaments
answer
.
To
this
Address
,
if
I
may
so
term
it
,
though
the
Houses
thought
lesser
of
it
,
as
appears
by
their
Answer
,
they
retort
,
That
had
his
Majesties
intentions
been
the
same
with
his
pretences
and
expressions
,
a
happy
Peace
had
been
settled
long
since
:
That
they
cannot
agree
to
his
desires
,
as
to
the
coming
of
those
Lords
and
Gentlemen
into
their
Quarters
,
in
regard
the
designe
(
for
Peace
)
may
be
of
dangerous
consequence
:
That
they
are
in
debate
of
Propositions
,
which
they
will
draw
up
,
and
send
to
be
signed
by
way
of
Bill
,
by
his
Majesty
.
This
was
in
December
1645.
The
Reader
will
excuse
this
retrospection
,
because
we
will
repeat
this
transaction
in
its
own
series
.
Message
of
the
15
of
December
,
1645.
To
this
the
King
ten
days
after
replies
with
more
quickening
Language
;
That
his
Majesty
cannot
but
extremely
wonder
,
that
after
so
many
expressions
on
their
part
,
of
a
deep
and
seeming
sence
of
the
miseries
of
this
afflicted
Kingdom
,
and
of
the
dangers
incident
to
his
person
,
during
the
continuance
of
these
unnatural
Wars
;
their
many
,
great
,
and
so
often-repeated
Protestations
,
that
the
raising
of
these
Arms
hath
been
onely
for
the
defence
of
Gods
true
Religion
,
his
Majesties
honour
,
safety
,
and
prosperity
,
the
peace
,
comfort
and
security
of
his
people
;
they
should
delay
a
Safe-conduct
to
the
persons
mentioned
in
his
Majesties
Message
of
the
5
of
this
instant
December
,
which
are
to
be
sent
unto
them
with
Propositions
for
a
well-grounded
Peace
.
A
thing
so
far
from
having
been
denyed
at
any
time
by
his
Majesty
,
whensoever
they
have
desired
the
same
,
that
he
believes
it
hath
been
seldome
practised
among
the
most
avowed
and
professed
Enemies
,
much
less
from
Subjects
to
their
King
.
But
his
Majesty
is
resolved
that
no
discouragements
whatsoever
shall
make
him
fail
of
his
part
in
doing
his
utmost
indeavours
to
put
an
end
to
these
Calamities
,
&c.
And
therefore
doth
once
again
desire
a
Safe-Conduct
.
This
would
not
do
neither
;
Message
of
the
15
of
Decem.
for
a
Personal
Treaty
.
the
King
therefore
aggresseth
them
anothe
way
,
and
offers
a
personal
Treaty
ten
days
after
.
His
Majesty
laying
aside
all
expostulations
,
as
rather
losing
time
,
than
contributing
any
remedy
to
the
evils
,
will
not
complain
of
their
neglect
of
him
,
and
delays
of
Answer
,
but
sends
these
Propositions
this
way
,
which
he
intended
by
the
forementioned
persons
.
For
conceiving
that
the
former
Treaties
hitherto
proved
ineffectual
,
chiefly
for
want
of
power
in
those
persons
that
treated
,
as
likewise
because
those
from
whom
their
power
was
derived
(
not
possibly
having
the
particular
information
of
every
several
debate
)
could
not
give
so
clear
a
judgment
as
was
requisite
in
so
important
a
business
;
his
Majesty
therefore
desires
that
he
may
have
the
engagement
of
the
two
Houses
at
Westminster
,
the
Commissioners
of
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
,
the
Mayor
,
Aldermen
and
Common-Council
and
Militia
of
London
,
of
the
chief
Commanders
in
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
his
Army
,
for
his
Majesties
free
and
safe
coming
to
,
and
abode
in
London
or
Westminster
,
with
such
of
his
Servants
and
Train
,
not
exceeding
the
number
of
three
hundred
,
for
the
space
of
forty
days
;
and
after
the
same
time
,
for
his
free
and
safe
repair
to
any
of
his
Garrisons
,
Oxford
,
Newark
,
Worcester
,
&c.
which
he
shall
appoint
,
there
to
have
a
Personal
Treaty
with
his
two
Houses
,
to
begin
with
the
three
heads
which
were
Treated
on
at
Oxford
.
And
for
the
better
ingredience
and
expedition
thereto
,
will
commit
the
great
trust
of
the
Militia
for
seven
years
into
the
hands
of
a
mixt
number
of
his
own
and
their
party
;
and
calls
God
to
witness
of
his
sincere
intentions
to
Peace
,
and
adjures
them
likewise
to
the
same
.
To
this
he
is
instant
with
them
for
an
answer
;
Another
to
the
same
purpose
,
Decemb
29.
and
for
the
facilitating
of
the
way
to
a
Treaty
,
and
their
better
inducement
,
without
any
expostulation
,
which
he
says
he
purposely
forbears
,
he
adds
now
more
particularly
,
and
to
the
respective
interests
,
That
upon
his
repair
to
Westminster
,
he
doubts
not
but
so
to
joyn
his
indeavours
with
his
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
as
to
give
just
satisfaction
not
onely
concerning
the
business
of
Ireland
,
but
also
for
the
setling
a
way
for
the
payment
of
publique
debts
,
as
well
to
the
Scots
,
as
to
the
City
of
London
and
others
:
and
resumes
his
desire
afresh
for
a
Personal
Treaty
,
and
that
they
would
accept
of
his
former
offers
.
But
the
House
of
Commons
resolved
to
keep
to
their
first
Answer
,
Royalists
expeled
the
Lines
of
Communication
.
not
to
treat
,
but
to
send
Propositions
;
the
main
whereof
was
an
absolute
avoydance
of
the
Kings
concession
as
to
the
Militia
,
which
they
would
have
solely
vested
in
themselves
,
and
no
other
.
And
to
give
colour
to
this
unreasonable
stifness
,
and
to
obstruct
a
Personal
Treaty
,
they
Vote
how
great
danger
there
is
already
to
the
Parliament
and
City
,
in
the
resort
of
so
many
Cavaliers
to
London
;
and
thereupon
an
Ordinance
is
made
anew
,
setling
the
Militia
thereof
,
and
requiring
them
to
provide
for
the
safety
of
the
City
,
and
to
search
for
Delinquents
,
and
to
expel
them
the
Lines
of
Communication
:
and
then
on
the
14
of
Ianuary
returned
his
Majesty
this
Answer
.
They
repeated
the
innocent
blood
spilt
by
his
Majesties
Command
and
Commission
,
The
Parliaments
Answer
January
14.
Irish
Rebels
brought
over
,
and
more
,
with
Forraign
Forces
,
on
coming
;
the
Prince
of
Wales
heading
an
Army
in
the
West
,
and
Garrisons
kept
against
them
,
and
Forces
likewise
in
Arms
for
him
in
Scotland
.
That
for
that
reason
,
until
satisfacton
and
security
be
given
unto
both
Kingdoms
,
his
coming
cannot
be
convenient
;
nor
do
they
conceive
it
can
be
any
way
conducing
to
Peace
,
that
his
Majesty
should
come
to
his
Parliament
for
a
few
days
,
with
thoughts
of
leaving
it
,
especially
with
intentions
of
returning
to
Hostility
against
it
.
And
do
note
likewise
,
that
his
Majesty
desires
not
onely
the
engagement
of
the
Parliament
,
but
of
the
Lord
Mayor
,
and
the
Officers
of
the
Army
,
and
the
Scotch
Commissioners
;
which
is
against
the
honour
and
priviledges
of
Parliament
,
those
being
joyned
with
them
,
who
are
subject
and
subordinate
to
their
Authority
.
They
insist
upon
their
Propositions
as
the
safest
and
surest
way
to
settle
Peace
,
as
well
in
England
as
in
Scotland
,
of
which
Kingdom
in
his
Letters
he
makes
no
mention
.
In
proceeding
according
to
these
just
and
necessary
grounds
for
the
putting
an
end
to
the
bleeding
calamities
of
these
Nations
,
his
Majesty
shall
have
the
glory
to
be
the
principal
instrument
in
so
happy
a
work
,
and
they
(
however
misinterpreted
)
shall
approve
themselves
to
God
and
man
.
But
what
?
Before
this
came
to
hand
,
the
King
sends
another
Message
,
to
know
the
reason
of
the
detention
of
his
Trumpet
;
The
King
replies
,
Jan.
15.
and
farther
offers
the
free
and
publique
use
of
the
Directory
(
as
commanded
by
the
Parliament
,
and
then
practised
in
some
parts
of
the
City
of
London
)
to
such
as
shall
desire
it
;
and
testifies
to
God
and
the
World
,
who
they
are
that
not
only
hinder
,
but
reject
this
Kingdoms
future
happiness
;
it
being
so
much
the
stranger
,
that
his
Majesties
coming
to
Westminster
,
which
was
the
first
and
greatest
pretence
of
taking
up
Arms
,
should
be
so
much
as
delayed
,
much
less
not
accepted
or
refused
.
But
his
Majesty
hopes
that
God
will
no
longer
suffer
the
malice
of
wicked
men
to
hinder
the
Peace
of
his
too
much
afflicted
Kingdoms
.
From
Oxford
,
Ianuary
15.
In
the
mean
while
,
some
Papers
concerning
the
Kings
Transactions
about
a
Peace
in
Ireland
were
published
on
purpose
by
the
Parliament
,
to
cast
a
scruple
into
the
minds
of
men
,
as
if
while
the
King
Treated
,
he
meant
a
new
War
by
Ayds
from
thence
;
and
so
to
prejudice
him
in
his
peoples
minds
,
who
began
to
murmur
at
the
averseness
and
delays
of
the
Parliament
:
which
news
coming
to
the
Kings
ears
,
he
sends
them
a
stinging
and
sharp
Message
,
which
was
the
next
day
after
he
had
received
their
Answer
.
The
Kings
Message
and
Answer
of
the
17
of
January
to
that
of
the
13.
His
Majesty
thinks
not
fit
to
Answer
those
aspersions
which
are
returned
as
Arguments
for
his
not
admittance
to
Westminster
to
a
Personal
Treaty
,
because
it
would
enforce
a
stile
not
sutable
to
his
end
,
being
the
peace
of
these
miserable
Kingdoms
;
yet
thus
much
he
cannot
but
say
to
Those
that
have
sent
him
this
Answer
,
That
if
they
had
considered
what
they
had
done
themselves
in
occasioning
the
sheding
of
so
much
inocent
blood
,
by
withdrawing
themselves
from
their
duty
to
him
,
in
a
time
when
he
had
granted
so
much
to
his
Subjects
;
and
in
violating
the
known
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
to
draw
an
exorbitant
power
to
themselves
over
their
fellow-Subjects
,
(
to
say
no
more
,
to
do
as
they
have
done
)
they
could
not
have
given
such
a
false
Character
of
his
Majesties
Actions
.
That
his
Majesty
with
impatient
expectation
requires
their
Answer
to
his
desire
of
a
Personal
Treaty
,
as
the
onely
expedient
.
For
certainly
no
rational
man
can
think
their
last
Paper
can
be
an
Answer
to
his
former
Demands
,
the
scope
of
it
being
,
That
because
there
is
a
War
,
therefore
there
should
be
no
Treaty
for
Peace
.
And
is
it
possible
to
expect
that
the
Propositions
mentioned
should
be
the
ground
of
a
lasting
Peace
,
when
the
persons
that
send
them
will
not
endure
to
hear
their
own
King
speak
?
But
what
ever
his
success
this
way
hath
hitherto
been
,
or
how
small
his
hopes
,
considering
the
high
strain
of
those
who
deal
with
his
Majesty
,
yet
he
will
not
want
Fatherly
Bowels
to
his
Subjects
,
nor
will
he
forget
that
God
hath
appointed
him
for
their
King
with
whom
he
treats
.
At
His
Court
at
Oxford
,
January
17.
1645.
This
was
well
resented
by
the
House
of
Peers
;
but
the
averse
Commons
would
hear
them
no
more
at
their
Conference
than
the
Kings
Messages
;
wherefore
the
King
plies
them
again
with
a
large
Message
,
wherein
he
shows
tha
reasonableness
and
necessity
of
his
desires
for
a
Treaty
.
His
Majesty
being
resolved
not
to
desist
(
though
his
discouragements
be
never
so
many
and
great
)
from
his
endeavours
after
Peace
,
His
Majesties
Message●
of
the
24th
of
Jan.
till
he
see
it
altogether
impossible
,
thinks
fit
to
make
this
Answer
to
the
Objections
of
his
two
Houses
in
their
Answer
of
the
thirteenth
instant
,
against
his
coming
to
Westminster
;
expecting
still
a
Reply
to
his
Messages
of
the
fifteenth
and
the
seventeenth
,
which
he
hopes
by
this
time
have
begotten
better
thoughts
and
resolutions
in
the
Members
of
both
Houses
.
And
first
,
as
to
the
innocent
blood
spilt
,
he
will
not
dispute
who
was
the
Author
of
it
,
but
rather
presseth
there
should
be
no
more
;
it
being
no
Argument
to
say
,
There
shall
be
no
such
Personal
Treaty
,
because
there
have
been
Wars
;
it
being
a
strong
inducement
to
have
such
a
Treaty
,
to
put
an
end
to
them
.
As
to
the
next
Objection
of
the
assistance
he
had
from
some
of
his
Irish
Subjects
;
he
saith
,
they
are
Protestants
,
who
were
formerly
s●nt
thither
by
the
two
Houses
,
and
impossibilitated
to
stay
there
longer
,
by
the
neglect
of
those
who
sent
them
thither
▪
who
should
have
better
provided
for
them
.
And
that
for
Forraign
Forces
,
their
Armies
have
swarmed
with
them
,
when
his
Majesty
had
few
or
none
.
Thirdly
,
to
the
Princes
heading
an
Army
in
the
West
,
that
there
are
divers
Garrisons
yet
standing
for
him
,
and
Forces
likewise
in
Scotland
;
it
must
be
as
much
confessed
,
that
as
yet
there
is
no
Peace
,
and
therefore
is
this
Treaty
required
.
But
his
Majesty
desires
it
may
be
remembred
how
long
since
he
hath
pressed
the
disbanding
of
all
Forces
;
the
refusing
whereof
hath
been
the
Cause
of
this
Objection
.
As
to
the
time
of
fourty
days
limited
for
the
Treaty
,
whereupon
they
infer
that
he
would
again
return
to
H●stility
;
his
Majesty
protesteth
the
sincerity
of
those
resolutions
he
bringeth
with
him
for
Peace
,
which
if
they
meet
with
the
like
inclinations
from
them
,
will
end
all
these
unhappy
bloody
differences
.
To
his
requiring
those
engagements
of
the
City
,
&c.
for
his
security
;
whosoever
will
call
to
mind
the
particular
occasions
that
enforced
his
Majesty
to
leave
his
Cities
of
London
and
Westminster
,
they
will
not
think
his
demands
unreasonable
.
But
he
no
way
conceiveth
how
the
Lord
Mayor
,
Aldermen
,
Common
Council
,
and
Militia
of
London
,
were
either
subject
or
subordinate
to
their
Authority
,
there
being
neither
Law
nor
practice
for
it
,
and
so
not
to
be
parallel'd
.
That
the
breach
of
priviledge
they
mention
,
is
more
likely
to
be
infringed
by
hindering
his
Majesty
from
this
Treaty
.
As
for
Scotland
,
and
their
Religion
,
and
securing
the
peace
,
his
Majesty
conceives
it
was
included
in
his
former
Messages
,
particularly
that
of
the
fifteenth
;
but
his
sincere
meaning
and
endeavours
are
after
it
,
as
he
new
expresseth
himself
for
their
better
satisfaction
.
Lastly
,
he
saith
,
that
there
is
but
two
ways
of
finally
ending
these
distractions
;
either
by
Treaty
,
or

and
for
the
former
,
no
better
Expedient
can
be
in
the

thereof

than
by
his
Personal
assistance
in
it

no

which
will
remove

Wherefore
his

who
is

concerned

doth
again

the
King
was
not

sollicitous
and
instant
at
the
High
Court
of

;
having
commanded
a

was
raised
against

by
the
intercepting
or
discovering
of

Commission
to
the
Earl
of

,
the
Marquess
of
Worcester's
Son
,
impowering
him
to
treat
with
the
Irish
(
for
which
he
was
afterwards
impeached
by
the
Lord
Digby
,
charged
on
suspicion
of
high
Treason
,
and
imprisoned
for
a
while
;
(
but
soon
after
set
at

)
as
having
concluded

imputation
laid
on

he
gives
this
account
to

And
the
words
of
this
Prince
are
of

unqu●stionable
credit

〈◊〉

〈◊〉
,
Jan.
29.
His
Majesty
having
received
inf●rmation
from
the
Lord-Lieutenant
and
Council
in
Ireland
,
that
the
Earl
of
Glamorgan
hath
without
his
or
their
directions
or
privity
entred
into
a
Treaty
with
some
Commissioners
on
the
Romane
Catholique
party
there
,
and
also
agreed
unto
certain
Arti●les
,
highly
derogatory
to
his
Majesties
honour
and
Royal
dignity
and
prejudicial
to
the
Protestant
Religion
there
,
whereupon
the
said
Earl
is
arrested
,
&c.
hath
thought
fit
to
give
this
relation
thereof
,
to
shew
how
contrary
it
was
to
his
Majesties
intention
and
directions
;
the
Earls
Commission
being
onely
to
raise
Forces
in
that
Kingdom
,
and
to
conduct
them
into
this
,
for
his
Majesties
service
;
and
not
to
treat
about
any
thing
else
,
much
less
about
Religion
,
or
any
propriety
belonging
to
their
Church
or
Laity
.
That
what
the
Earl
did
there
,
came
to
his
knowledge
meerly
by
accident
;
protesting
,
that
until
the
news
of
the
said
Earls
restraint
,
he
had
no
notice
of
any
Capitulation
with
those
Rebels
,
so
destructive
to
Church
and
State
,
and
repugnant
to
his
Majesties
publique
professions
:
That
therefore
he
is
so
far
from
considering
any
of
those
Articles
framed
as
aforesaid
,
that
he
doth
absolutely
disown
the
said
Earl
therein
;
having
given
order
to
his
Lieutenant
there
,
the
Marquess
of
O●mond
,
to
proceed
against
the
said
Earl
,
as
one
who
either
out
of
falseness
,
presumption
,
or
folly
,
hath
hazarded
the
blemishing
of
his
Majesties
reputation
of
his
own
head
,
&c.
But
true
it
is
,
that
for
the
necessary
preservation
of
his
Majesties
Protestant
Subjects
in
Ireland
,
whose
case
was
dayly
represented
unto
him
to
be
desperate
,
his
Majesty
had
given
a
Commission
to
his
Lieutenant
to
treat
and
conclude
such
a
Peace
there
,
as
might
be
for
the
safety
of
that
Crown
,
&c.
And
yet
if
the
Houses
will
admit
of
a
personal
Treaty
with
him
at
London
,
and
will
send
him
a
Pass
or
Safe-Conduct
for
a
Messenger
to
be
sent
immediately
to
Ireland
,
he
will
dispatch
one
thither
to
prevent
any
accident
that
may
hinder
his
Majesties
Resolution
of
leaving
the
Manage
of
the
business
of
Ireland
wholly
to
the
two
Houses
;
and
will
make
no
Peace
but
with
their
consent
.
And
further
,
in
order
to
this
desired
Personal
Treaty
,
he
offers
the
Militia
for
seven
years
,
with
such
limitations
as
were
expressed
at
Uxbridge
the
6
of
February
1644
,
all
Forces
disbanded
,
and
Garrisons
dismantled
,
and
then
all
things
to
be
in
Statu
quo
.
That
the
Houses
shall
nominate
the
Admiral
,
Officers
of
State
,
and
Iudges
,
to
hold
their
places
during
life
,
or
quamdiu
se
bene
gess●rint
,
which
shall
be
best
liked
.
And
likewise
liberty
to
Tender
Consciences
behaving
themselves
peaceably
,
with
a
general
Act
of
Oblivion
,
in
both
his
Parliaments
of
both
Kingdoms
respectievly
.
These
Concessions
extending
likewise
to
his
native
Realm
of
Scotland
.
And
now
his
Majesty
having
so
fully
and
clearly
expressed
his
intentions
and
desires
of
making
a
happy
and
well-grounded
Peace
,
if
any
person
shall
decline
that
happiness
by
opposing
of
so
apparent
a
way
to
attain
it
,
he
will
sufficiently
demonstrate
to
all
the
World
,
his
intention
and
design
can
be
no
other
,
than
the
total
subversion
and
change
of
the
ancient
and
happy
Government
of
this
Kingdom
,
under
which
this
Nation
hath
so
long
flourished
.
This
was
followed
with
two
Messages
more
;
the
first
of
the
26
of
February
,
where
he
saith
,
that
he
needs
make
no
excuse
,
though
he
sent
no
more
Messages
unto
them
,
for
he
very
will
knows
he
ought
not
to
do
it
,
if
he
either
stood
upon
punctilio's
of
honour
,
or
his
own
private
interest
:
but
nothing
being
equally
dear
unto
him
as
the
preservation
of
his
People
,
he
passeth
by
many
scruples
,
neglects
,
and
delays
,
and
once
more
desires
a
speedy
Answer
;
which
he
provokes
by
a
second
Message
of
the
3
of
March
,
complayning
of
their
unexpected
silence
,
and
offering
upon
the
faith
of
both
Houses
for
the
preservation
of
his
honour
,
person
,
and
estate
,
and
liberty
given
to
all
who
adhered
to
him
to
go
quietly
to
their
houses
without
any
manner
of
Sequestration
,
and
not
to
be
compelled
to
take
any
Oath
save
what
was
warranted
by
the
Laws
of
the
Land
,
to
disband
his
Forces
,
and
dismantle
his
Garrisons
,
and
with
no
Martial
but
Royal
attendance
return
to
his
two
Houses
,
and
there
reside
with
them
:
And
Concludes
with
a
tender
of
an
Act
of
General
Pardon
and
Oblivion
.
Yet
notwithstanding
all
these
forcible
and
reasonable
perswasions
,
and
as
many
obliging
Caresses
and
Condescentions
,
with
which
never
Subjects
or
Parliaments
of
England
were
so
treated
,
they
continue
inflexible
,
and
rather
the
worse
and
more
arrogant
than
at
his
first
overture
:
for
they
resolved
to
proceed
in
their
own
method
,
spending
their
spare
time
in
wrangling
and
debating
their
most
quarrelsome
Propositions
;
and
on
purpose
totally
to
obviate
and
preclude
the
Kings
designe
(
if
he
should
so
resolve
)
of
coming
to
London
,
they
throw
these
rubs
in
the
way
thither
,
by
this
Ordinance
,
in
the
first
place
.
That
in
case
the
King
shall
,
contrary
to
the
advice
of
Parliament
already
given
him
,
come
or
attempt
to
come
within
the
Lines
of
Communication
,
that
then
the
Committee
of
the
Militia
of
the
City
of
London
shall
have
Power
,
The
Parliament
publish
an
Ordinance
for
the
Scizure
of
the
King
and
his
Adherents
.
and
are
hereby
enjoyned
to
raise
such
Forces
as
they
shall
think
fit
,
to
prevent
any
Tumult
that
may
arise
by
his
coming
,
and
to
Suppress
any
that
shall
so
happen
,
and
to
apprehend
and
secure
any
such
as
shall
come
with
him
,
and
to
secure
his
Person
from
danger
.
That
all
persons
whatsoever
,
that
have
born
Arms
against
the
Parliament
,
are
to
depart
the
City
and
Lines
of
Communication
,
by
the
6
of
April
;
or
to
be
taken
for
Spies
,
and
proceeded
against
according
to
the
Rules
of
War
in
such
cases
.
This
Order
to
continue
for
a
month
,
and
no
longer
.
Which
shewed
it
was
a
sudden
Legislative
by-blow
,
made
temporary
,
according
to
their
present
apprehension
,
fear
and
occasion
.
And
then
to
bear
the
people
in
hand
,
and
to
seem
to
intend
their
satisfaction
,
they
promise
to
dispatch
their
Propositions
with
all
speed
;
and
to
make
this
shew
to
appear
more
real
,
as
if
they
were
about
a
Settlement
,
they
resolve
to
vouchsafe
to
give
the
Prince
a
like
account
of
it
,
They
pretend
to
invite
the
Prince
by
Commissioners
.
That
Commissioners
shall
forthwith
be
sent
,
&c.
Which
Letters
and
Cajole
were
turned
afterwards
into
another
deeper
fetch
,
or
invitation
(
upon
his
Majesties
going
to
the
Scotch
Army
)
of
the
Prince
to
the
Parliament
;
whom
,
it
was
spread
by
the
Faction
,
if
the
King
should
by
his
complyance
prevail
upon
the
Scots
to
take
upon
them
his
Interest
,
they
would
set
up
as
a
balance
to
his
Majesties
Authority
,
having
the
Scale
of
indubitable
Succession
on
their
side
,
against
the
quarrelled
and
perplexed
possession
of
the
Crown
and
the
Person
of
the
King
on
the
Scots
.
But
these
were
but
sudden
emergent
thoughts
,
pro
re
nata
,
and
to
be
used
onely
if
the
Rebellion
came
to
such
extremity
.
And
here
we
may
wonder
,
how
through
so
many
patches
of
policy
,
and
the
changes
of
designes
,
one
single
Usurper
attained
the
compleat
intire
result
of
so
many
inconsistent
devices
and
practices
.
The
Prince
was
then
departing
for
France
,
when
this
sollicitation
was
intended
;
and
we
shall
see
how
soon
their
mind
changed
.

escaped

Thomas
Fairfax
c●m●s
before
Oxford
:
he
summons
a
Council
of
War
,
raiseth
a
great
Fort
neer
the
Town
.
Upon
his
approach
,
he
summoned
a
Council
of
War
,
to
advise
which
way
to
proceed
:
by
whom
it
was
agreed
,
that
considering
the
strength
of
the
place
,
they
should
make
a
Line
and
Starve
them
,
for
that
it
would
be
very
hazardous
to
attempt
it
by
Storm
;
to
which
was
added
another
reason
,
pretence
of
their
Civility
,
lest
by
Batteries
they
should
demolish
the
Colledges
,
and
destroy
the
Library
by
their
Shot
and
Granadoes
preceding
the
assault
.
To
this
purpose
a
regular
Circumvallation
was
finished
,
and
a
great
Fort
raised
upon
Hedington
hill
,
within
half
a
mile
and
less
of
the
City
(
Eastward
thereof
)
and
a
Battery
likewise
;
but
to
little
effect
.

for

moneths
,
and
upward
,
against
Sickness
,
Famine
,
and
War
,
having
eaten
things
most
reluctant
to
nature
;
till
the
Kings
affairs
1645
,
being
desperate
,
he
accepted
of
no
less
honourable
(
than
his
York
)
Conditions
,
and
was
now
deservedly
,
and
as
the
onely
fit
person
,
intrusted
with
this
chief
Bulwark
and
Fortress
of
Loyalty
.
By
him
many
additions
were
made
,
to
render
it
impregnable
;
one
most
dangerous
to
the
enemy
was
,
that
he
had
ca●s●d
the
ground
before
the
Trenches
to
be
broke
and
digged
into
pits
,
wherein
he
had
driven
stakes
;
so
that
it
was
neither
safe
for
Horse
nor
man
,
if
they
should
attempt
to
storm
,
to
approach
the
Works
.
But
all
this
strength
availed
not
against
the
Fate
upon
the
Kings
Cause
:
besides
that
there
was
some
Division
among
the
Nobles
at
Court
,
Divisions
at
Court
among
the
Nobles
at

.
to
whom
the
King
had
left
a
power
of
Treating
with
the
Enemy
,
insomuch
that
after
a
Summons
,
the
Governour
by
the
advice
of
the
Lords
condescended
to
a
Treaty
,
which
was
managed
at
Marston
at
Mr.
Crooks
House
,
by
Commissioners
on
both
sides
;
and
after
a
long
debate
,
all
Hostility
being
exercised
in
the
mean
time
(
especially
when
it
was
thought
they
would
agree
,
the
besieged
shot
their
great
Guns
continually
,
by
which
they
did
some
hurt
,
killing
a
Lieutenant-Colonel
in
the
Works
;
and
Prince
Rupert
received
a
shot
in
a
Salley
that
he
made
,
rather
to
take
the
air
,
than
out
of
any
great
designe
)
the
Treaty
came
to
a
conclusion
,
upon
very
noble
Terms
;
which
Fairfax
was
willing
to
grant
,
not
knowing
but
that
he
might
have
been
forced
to
continue
there
till
the
depth
of
Winter
,
at
which
time
the
over-flowing
of
the
Rivers
,
which
were
now
diverted
,
might
make
him
rise
and
leave
the
Siege
;
there
being
plenty
of
all
provisions
in
the
Town
to
maintain
it
beyond
that
time
.
The
Articles
being
tedious
,
and
like
those
of
Exeter
,

no
repetition

had
Passes

the
rest

took
service
under
Colonel
Tillier
,
one
of
the
Garrison
,
for
the
French
,
and
some
for
the
Spaniard

A

departed
on
the
Monday
before
to
Oatlands
,
upon
special
Articles
for
themselves
;
and
a
number
of
Gentlemen
on
Tuesday
;
besides
near
2000
that
staid
a●●er
the
Army
was
entred
,
for
Passes
;
so
that
there
could
not
be
less
than
7000
men
(
besides
three
Auxiliary
Regiments
of
Scholars
and
Townsmen
,
which
were
disarmed
by
the
General
upon
his
entrance
)
then
in
the
Town
,
being
the
very
flower
and
the
Chivalry
of
the
Kings
Army
.
There
marched
out
likewise
the
Duke
of
York
,
Duke
of
York
and
many
persons
of
great
Quality

from
Oxford

Earls
of

Southampton
(

and
Earl
of

,
being
comprised
in
the
said
Articles

who
departed

the
Lords

and
Dunsmore
;
Secretary
Nicholas
,
Sir
George
Lis●e
,
and
abundance
of
brave
Gentlemen
and
Officers
:
so
that
it
was
a
pleasant
martial
fight
,
and
many
were
the
spectators
from
London
,
to
behold
their
exit
.
The
Duke
of
York
was
conveyed
to
St.
Iames's
to
his
Royal
Brother
and
Sister
under
the
Government
of
the
Earl
of
Northumberland
;
from
whence
,
by
means
of
Colonel
Ioseph
Bamfield
,
he
was
conveyed
away
,
(
according
to
the
directions
of
the
Queen
his
Mother
)
into
Holland
,
as
some
while
before
,
the
Princess
Henrietta
,
(
after
married
to
the
Duke
of
Orleans
)
was
by
the
Lady
Dalkeith
,
her
Governess
,
privately
carried
into
France
.
In
these
Articles
Faringdon
was
also
included
;
the
Governour
,
Sir
George
Lisle
,
being
then
in
Oxford
,
ratifying
the
same
.
Colonel
Poyntz
and
Colonel
Rossiter
had
joyned
their
Forces
,
〈◊〉
Parliament-Forces
under
Col.
Poyntz
and
Col.
Rossiter
besiege
Newark
.
and
with
the
access
of
the
Scottish
Army
resolved
to
besi●ge
Newark
,
upon
which
they
long
had
a
hankering
desire
.
They
began
the
Siege
in
December
,
which
was
continued
with
all
obstinacy
,
the
Town
defending
it self
resolutely
,
and
by
often
Salleys
annoyed
the
besiegers
,
doing
notable
Execution
upon
them
.
The
Scots
lodged
on
the
North-side
with
6000
men
,
making
good
Muschams
bridge
;
Poyntz
on
the
South-side
,
Colonel
Rossiter
and
Lebunt
at
Blechington
;
Claypool
,
(
the
first
time
he
appears
in
service
,
now
put
on
by
Cromwel
)
with
Leicester
and
Ely
forces
at
Bennington
;
the
Nottingham
Brigade
at
Stoak
,
where
the
Lord
Bellasis
,
(
the
Noble
stout
Governour
)
gave
them
such
a
Camisade
by
a
sudden
eruption
,
that
he
totally
routed
their
Horse
,
(
Poyntz
being
there
)
and
had
near
surprized
the
Foot
,
but
that
Rossiter
came
opportunely
in
,
and
designing
to
get
between
the
Salliers
and
the
Town
,
made
them
leave
their
Victory
,
and
make
home
:
in
their
way
whither
,
they
defeated
the
said
Colonel
Rossiter
,
and
safely
returned
in
at
their
Works
.
Nevertheless
,
and
though
General
Leven
with
his
Army
was
drawn
off
from
Newark
,
General
Leven
with
his
Scots
draws
of
from
Newark
:
the
Town
Summoned
;
Lord
Bellasis
the
Governour
commanded
by
the
King
to
surrender
.
disgusted
for
want
pay
,
Poyntz
would
not
give
over
;
but
having
turned
the
River
Trent
quite
from
the
Town
on
the
North-side
,
and
the
Scots
having
taken
Sands
Fort
before
,
who
paid
dear
for
their
Approaches
,
and
the
other
River
being
also
turned
aside
,
and
several
Forts
and
Batteries
new
raised
within
Musquet-shot
of
the
Town
,
a
second
Summons
was
sent
in
unto
the
Governour
;
which
had
not
prevailed
,
for
all
their
bravado's
of
danger
,
had
they
not
been
reinforced
with
a
command
from
the
King
to
his
Lordship
,
to
make
as
good
Terms
as
he
could
,
and
deliver
the
place
,
for
that
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdome
might
the
sooner
be
r●stored
.
Accordingly
,
on
the
4
of
May
,
May
4
a
Treaty
entred
into
,
and
Newark
yeilded
.
a
Treaty
was
entred
into
;
the
Articles
very
fair
,
but
not
so
comprehensive
as
those
given
by
Fairfax
,
but
yet
such
as
signified
the
noble
Governours
resolution
,
and
pointed
at
his
great
desert
;
he
having
approved
himself
an
eminent
Souldier
and
Servant
of
his
King
and
Country
throughout
the
War
,
and
was
afterward
his
Majesties
Governour
of
his
Town
of
Hull
.
While
the
Army
was
marching
to
Oxford
,
The
Parliament-Forces
under
Col.
Whaley
besiege
Banbury
.
Colonel
Whaley
with
a
thousand
Foot
,
and-four
Troops
of
Horse
,
was
sent
to
besiege
Banbury
;
who
lay
before
it
ten
weeks
ere
the
Governour
would
hearken
to
any
Terms
,
as
nobly
angry
with
the
Fortune
of
his
Cause
,
as
disdainfully
vext
with
the
disparagement
of
the
Siege
;
the
Castle
able
to
defie
their
entire
Army
,
and
which
had
often
disappointed
and
beaten
several
united
strengths
that
beleaguered
it
.
But
I
cannot
so
regretfully
partake
with
that
Loyal
Garrison
,
as
Mr.
Sprig
[
](A43206-e64570-b)*
*
Anglia
Rediviva
.
doth
zealously
with
the
Town
,
in
a
Paragraph
of
his
worthy
observation
,
and
which
m●●●
very
justly
be
construed
in
a
better
sense
than
he
meant
it
,
being
a
full
●ccount
of
that
once-famous
place
for
Zealotry
.
Banbury
,
once
a
great
and
fair
Market-Town
,
before
the
late
Troubles
,
but
now
having
scarce
the
one
half
standing
to
gaze
on
the
Ruines
of
the
other
,
was
ever
till
now
unfortunate
in
all
means
and
endeavours
used
for
its
recovery
,
having
lain
under
the
possession
and
Tyranny
of
the
Enemy
from
the
beginning
,
without
almost
any
intermission
;
which
happened
to
it
,
partly
through
the
commodiousness
of
its
Situation
for
the
Enemy
,
as
lying
but
eighteen
miles
North
from
Oxford
,
and
in
such
a
convenient
place
as
gave
it
a
command
into
divers
other
Counties
,
viz.
North-hampton-shire
,
Warwick-shire
,
&c.
from
out
of
which
it
gathered
large
Contributions
from
Oxford
:
the
sweetness
that
the
Enemy
tasted
in
the
fruits
and
effects
thus
reaped
by
this
Garrison
,
made
them
,
that
upon
all
our
attempts
to
reduce
it
,
they
were
still
ready
with
great
Forces
to
relieve
it
.
But
yet
I
cannot
but
also
look
upon
and
observe
the
end
,
a
special
hand
and
intimation
of
God
against
that
Professing
▪
Place
,
where
in
a
manner
Judgment
began
as
at
the
House
of
God
,
and
was
removed
with
one
of
the
last
.
The
strange
sights
in
the
Air
over
it
,
as
fighting
,
&c.
whereof
I
was
an
eye-Witness
,
might
po●tend
the
portion
which
providence
hath
since
prepared
for
them
.
All
endeavours
were
used
by
the
Besiegers
,
by
Sapping
,
and
Mining
;
which
were
again
Countermined
by
the
vigilance
of
Sir
William
Compton

Brother
to
the
Earl
of
Northampton
the
resolute
Governour
,
who
by
flinging
down
stones
and
hand-Granadoes
,
mightily
annoyed
the
Enemy
;
who
nevertheless
couragiously
persisting
in
their
work
,
being
advanced
close
to
the
Wall
,
Sir
William
accepted
of
honourable
Terms
,
and
yeilded
it
on
the
eighth
of
May
,
the
Anniversary
of
his
Majesties
Proclayming
.
I
may
not
pass
this
notable
place
without
another
remarque
.
When
the
Grandees
of
the
Faction
in
1648
were
dividing
the
spoyls
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
Loyal
demolitions
(
which
made
entire
structures
of
some
of
their
partisans
Fortunes
)
were
conferred
mutually
by
them
,
(
of
which
in
its
place
)
and
several
Castles
were
then
ordered
to
be
rased
;
A
friend
of
the
Lord
Say's
,
Lord
Say
Proprietor
of
the
place
.
(
the
Proprietor
of
the
place
,
)
moved
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
that
this
Castle
also
might
be
ruined
,
as
having
been
such
a
thorn
to
the
Parliament
;
and
that
the
Lord
Say's
consent
might
be
procured
(
who
had
all
along
served
them
as
chief
of
their
Council
and
Cabal
,
and
dyed
after
the
King's
restitution
,
to
say
no
more
of
him
,
though
a
grand
engine
of
our
Troubles
)
Two
thousand
Pounds
should
be
given
him
in
compensation
:
The
Castle
demolished
.
A
Member
,
(
that
understood
his
Lordships
drift
,
who
put
in
for
his
share
among
the
Commoners
,
while
they
were
of
the
giving
hand
,
and
the
Lords
looked
onely
on
others
bounty
)
stood
up
and
said
,
that
the
Publique
had
no
need
of
such
penny-worths
,
as
to
give
his
Lordship
two
thousand
pounds
for
that
which
cost
him
but
five
hundred
;
a
cheaper
time
might
be
expected
:
which
his
Lordship
was
forced
to
await
,
and
be
content
with
an
under-sale
;
when
it
was
enviously
by
them
,
and
dishonourably
by
him
laid
in
its
dust
;
the
rather
to
be
pitied
,
because
of
its
reviviscency
,
having
bravely
and
vigorously
recovered
it self
from
the
decays
of
a
long
Antiquity
;
so
much
Art
and
industry
being
bestowed
on
it
,
that
neither
the
Approaches
of
Time
,
nor
the
Batteries
,
fury
and
violence
of
the
Enemy
,
were
to
be
seen
in
any
part
of
it
.
But
it
seems
the
Loyal
Genius
,
the
new
Penates
,
agreed
not
well
with
their
Mansion
,
and
so
abandoned
it
to
the
lust
and
spight
of
a
deforming
Reformation
.
May
the
present
inhabitants
consider
,
and
the
Reader
pardon
this
digression
.
Colonel
Whaley
marcheth
to
Worcester
.
From
Banbury
,
Colonel
Whaley
was
ordered
to
march
to
Worcester
,
and
with
some
Troops
of
Horse
to
assist
the
Siege
began
by
Colonel
Morgan
,
who
was
then
commanded
to
the
Siege
of
Ragland
,
to
command
in
chief
the
Forces
before
that
place
;
so
that
the
Carrying
on
of
Worcester-siege
was
devolved
upon
Colonel
Whaley
,
who
for
want
of
Foot
could
not
lay
a
close
and
regular
Leaguer
,
until
that
defect
was
supplyed
by
Colonel
Rainsborough
,
Besiegeth
it
for
the
Parliament
.
who
came
with
a
Brigade
thither
,
and
lustily
p●yed
the
raising
of
Forts
and
Approaches
,
which
in
short
time
he
effectually
brought
to
pass
;
so
that
the
Governour
(
Colonel
Washington
,
who
had
done
the
King
excellent
service
throughout
the
War
,
particularly
at
the
first
taking
of
Bristol
,
where
the
breach
he
couragiously
entred
was
afterwards
called
by
his
name
,
made
terrible
thereafter
by
his
brave
Regiment
of
Dragoons
,
whose
fierce
and
active
gallantry
bestowed
a
Proverbe
on
every
resolute
exploit
,
Colonel

Away
with
it
,
quoth
Washington
)
who
before
had
refused
Terms
,
(
or
to
accept
a
Summons
)
but
upon
his
own
high
Conditions
,
seeing
how
feasible
the
forcing
of
the
City
might
prove
,
and
that
no
Relief
could
be
expected
,
having
also
information
of
the
surrender
of
Oxford
,
inclined
now
to
a
Treaty
,
which
took
effect
Iuly
19.
and
rendred
the
23
of
Iuly
;
the
Articles
being
something
less
equal
than
the
General
gave
;
which
was
the
manner
of
those
substitute
Commanders
,
who
either
might
not
,
or
rather
were
not
indued
with
so
much
Military
honour
,
as
to
grant
them
honourable
Articles
,
the
best
Military
policy
:
a
courtesie
,
for
which
the
Low-country-war
is
very
deservedly
famous
;
and
the
great
master-piece
of
Souldiery
in
the
late
Princes
of
the
House
of
Aurange
.
At
the
same
time
the
Generals
Regiment
and
Colonel
Lilburn's
were
sent
to
assist
and
carry
on
the
Siege
before
Wallingford
,
Wallingford
yeilded
,
July
28
,
to
the
Parliament
.
where
Colonel
Thomas
Blague
commanded
;
and
after
Oxford
was
yeilded
,
the
General
came
himself
thither
in
person
,
to
honour
the
Noble
Governour
,
by
the
rendition
of
it
to
the
main
Army
.
His
Terms
were
as
good
as
any
that
had
been
given
before
;
Sir
Thomas
as
well
respecting
the
merit
and
worth
of
the
person
,
as
the
value
and
considerableness
of
the
place
.
By
Treaty
it
should
have
been
surrendred
on
the
29
of
Iuly
;
but
a
mutiny
happening
among
the
Souldiers
of
the
Garrison
,
the
Governour
was
forced
to
render
it
the
day
before
,
having
had
six
days
time
,
from
the
conclusion
of
the
Treaty
,
to
prepare
for
his
departure
.
After
this
rendition
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
went
to
the
Bath
to
refresh
himself
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
goeth
to
the
Bath
,
from
thence
to
Ragland
-
Castle
,
to
assist
Colonel
Morgan
,
Sir
Trevor
Williams
,
and
Colonel
Laughorn
.
after
so
tedious
attendance
on
several
Leaguers
;
and
from
thence
,
being
informed
of
the
resolution
of
the
Noble
Marquess
of
Worcester
in
defending
his
Castle
of
Ragland
(
where
he
had
made
many
desperate
Salleys
,
and
kept
the
besiegers
at
hard
and
constant
duty
)
he
advanced
to
the
aid
and
assistance
of
his
Forces
under
Colonel
Morgan
,
Sir
Trevor
Williams
,
and
Colonel
Laughorn
;
and
upon
his
arrival
sent
in
the
Marquess
this
Summons
.
My
LORD
,
BEing
come
into
these
parts
with
such
a
strength
as
I
may
not
doubt
,
but
with
the
same
hand
of
good
providence
that
hath
hitherto
blessed
us
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
summons
the
Marquess
of
Worcester
.
in
short
time
to
reduce
the
Garrison
of
Ragland
to
the
obedience
of
the
Parliament
:
I
have
,
in
order
thereto
,
thought
good
to
send
your
Lordship
this
Summons
,
hereby
requiring
you
to
deliver
up
to
〈◊〉
for
the
Parliament's
use
,
the
said
Garrison
and
Castle
of
Ragland
,
which
as
it
onely
obstructs
the
Kingdom
's
universal
Peace
,
the
rendition
may
beget
such
terms
as
by
delay
or
vain
hopes
cannot
be
expected

The
Marquess
his
Answer

ALthough
my
infirmities
might
justly
claim
priviledge
in
so
sudden
an
Answer

the
condition
I
am
in

I
dare
say
,
out
of

you

it

I

loth
to

sides

therefore
desire
to
have
leave
to

He
desires
to
send
to
know
the
Kings
pleasure

what
he
will
have
done
with
his

As
for
my

I

he
will
command
nothing
;
neither
know
I
how
,
either
by
Law
or
Conscience

I
should
be

out

To
this

The
General
denyes
it
,
shews
the
inconveniencies
of
the
Marquess
hi●
refusal
.
To
which
the
General
replyed
,
that
for
sending
to
his
Majestie
,
it
had
been
denyed
to
the
most
considerable
Garrison
in
England
,
further
than
an
account
of
the
thing
done
upon
the
Surrender
;
which
he
offered
:
that
for
the
destruction
of
his
Lordships
house
and
Garrison
,
he
should
not
have
troubled
his
Lordship
,
were
it
disgarrisoned
.
And
repeats
inconveniences
upon
a
refusal
.
To
this
the
Marquess
answers
,
The
Marquess
urgeth
reasons
on
his
side
.
that
he
hath
twenty
thousand
pounds
due
from
the
King
lent
out
of
his
Purse
,
(
it
is
believed
the
Loyal
Noble
Marquess
might
have
said
four
times
as
much
,
being
the
richest
and
freest
Subject
the
King
had
)
which
would
be
lost
,
if
he
in
this
matter
should
displease
him
,
alledges
his
familiarity
with
Sir
Thomas
his
Grandfather
in
Henry
Earl
of
Huntingtons
time
,
President
of
the
North
;
for
whose
sake
,
he
supposeth
,
were
it
known
to
him
,
the
General
would
do
what
safe
courtesie
he
could
:
Desires
,
if
he
might
have
his
Means
,
and
be
at
quiet
by
the
Parliaments
approbation
,
and
not
vexed
with
the
malice
of
the
Committees
of
that
County
,
to
be
quit
of
the
Garrison
,
and
to
that
purpose
expects
what
Conditions
he
will
give
.
The
Marquess
excepted
out
of
the
Parliaments
Pardon
.
The
General
returns
,
that
he
will
give
such
as
shall
be
fit
and
satisfactory
for
the
Souldiers
,
to
his
Lordship
and
Family
all
security
and
quiet
from
any
that
belongs
to
him
(
note
that
the
Marquess
was
then
excepted
out
of
Pardon
;
)
he
will
interpose
betwixt
his
Lordship
and
the
Committees
,
that
they
shall
do
nothing
without
order
from
the
Parliament
,
The
General
promiseth
to
interpose
between
his
Lordship
and
the
Committees
.
to
whom
he
hath
liberty
to
send
,
and
from
whom
,
upon
a
present
Surrender
and
submission
to
their
Mercy
and
Favour
,
he
may
presume
on
better
Terms
than
if
he
stand
to
extremity
.
Proposeth
the
sad
example
of
the
Marquess
of
Winchester
,
who
lost
all
by
the
same
resolution
.
For
the
twenty
thousand
pounds
,
he
may
send
to
the
King
at
the
same
time
with
an
account
of
the
Surrender
.
The
Marquess
rejoyns
,
and
desires
to
be
satisfied
,
whether
if
any
conclusion
shall
be
made
,
he
shall
afterwards
be
left
to
the
mercy
of
the
Parliament
for
alteration
at
their
Wills
and
pleasures
;
The
Marquess
cites
the
Earl
of
Shrewsburies
Case
.
and
cites
to
that
purpose
the
Earl
of
Shrewsburies
case
,
and
divers
others
,
whose
Conditions
were
broken
.
He
knows
that
by
the
Generals
Will
and
Consent
it
should
never
be
;
but
Souldiers
are
unruly
,
and
the
Parliament
Vnquestionable
,
and
therefore
desires
Pardon
for
his
just
cause
of
Fear
.
This
was
Answered
by
Sir
Thomas
,
that
what
he
granted
,
he
would
undertake
to
make
good
.
And
as
to
the
instance
of
the
Lord
of
Shrewsbury
,
the
Actors
in
that
breach
,
who
were
none
of
his
Army
,
have
received
their
Censure
,
and
by
this
time
he
believes
Execution
.
The
first
result
between
them
,
Ragland
-
Castle
surrendred
Aug.
19
,
to
the
Parliament
.
was
,
at
the
desire
of
the
Marquess
,
a
Cessation
for
six
hours
;
but
nothing
being
concluded
on
,
the
Army
proceeded
in
their
Approaches
,
which
were
cast
up
within
sixty
yards
of
their
Works
;
when
the
Marquess
was
induced
and
perswaded
by
them
within
to
come
to
a
Capitulation
,
which
was
in
effect
,
the
same
with
others
:
And
on
the
19
of
August
the
Castle
was
Surrendred
,
according
to
Agreement
;
into
which
the
General
entred
,
and
had
some
speech
with
the
Marquess
,
and
so
back
again
to
Bath
.
There
marched
out
besides
the
Marquess
,
The

as
by
the
Catalogue
of
them
taken
by
the
Advocate

Army
appeared
.
I
do
not
wonder
the
gallant
Marquess
was
so
loth
to
part
with
his
house
:
for
not
long
after
,
The
Marquess
a
great
Scholar
,
to
whom
the
King
was
much
indebted
:
he
departs
this
life
.
and
't
is
presumed
from
some
thought
,
sadness
,
and
trouble
of
minde
,
of
being
forced
from
this
his
Castle
,
and
exposed
to
the
fury
of
his
Enemies
,
he
departed
this
life
.
A
man
of
very
great
Parts
,
and
becoming
his
Honours
,
of
great
Fortitude
of
mind
,
either
Actively
or
Passively
,
and
to
whom
the
King
was
much
beholden
.
He
was
nevertheless
better
at
his
Pen
than
the
Sword
and
a
great
deal
happier
;
for
he
hath
used
that
with
rare
success
,
as
some
of
his
Works
in
print
,
viz
,
his
Apophthegms
and
Discourses
,
and
Disputes
with
his
Majesty
concerning
Religion
,
do
abundantly
demonstrate
.
He
lived
●o
see
himself
undone
,
and
a
most
plentiful
estate
spoyled
and
Ruined
;
but
anticipated
and
fore-ran
that
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
soon
after
followed
.
Conway-Castle
was
taken
by
storm
,
by
Forces
under
Major-General
Mitton
,

Carnarvan

delivered
;
as
also
Ludlow
,
Litchfield
-
Close
,
and
Borstal
house
.
to
whom
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
would
have
spared
some
Forces
,
but
he
would
have
no
partakers
of
his
Trophies
,
but
those
men
he
had
raised
himself
,
and
hitherto
kept
as
a
distinct
Body
,
pretending
he
had
more
men
than
money
to
pay
them
.
He
also
took
in
Carnarvan-Castle
,
seconded
by
Major-General
Laugborn
his
Country-man
,
being
delivered
upon
good
Articles
by
the
Lord
Byron
,
who
had
before
so
stoutly
maintained
Chester
.
Ludlow
was
likewise
delivered
,
and
Litchfield-Close
to
Sir
William
Brereton
;
Borstal-house
by
Sir
Charles
Campian
,
slain
after
at
Colchester
;
together
with
Goth●ridge
.
So
that
the
Pen
is
quite
worn
out
with
scribling
of
Articles
,
and
desires
to
be
excused
from
further
particulars
.
Onely
we
may
not
omit
Pendennis-Castle
(
and
Mount
Michael
in
Cornwal
taken
during
the
siege
of
Exeter
by
Colonel
Hammond
)
which
stood
out
still
,

and

taken
for

,
by

John
Arundel
Esq.
the
Governour
having
order
from
the
King
to
surrender
.
by
the
resolution
and
Loyalty
of
a
right
Noble
Gentleman
of
that
County
,
Iohn
Arundel
of
Treacise
Esquire
,
the
Governour
:
it
had
been
blockt
up
by
Land
by
Colonel
Richard
Fortescue
,
and
by
Vice-Admiral
Batten
by
Sea
,
ever
since
the
General
departed
:
no
Summons
could
prevail
,
without
his
Majesties
special
Order
to
Surrender
;
whom
the
Governour
was
very
instant
to
have
leave
to
send
to
.
All
the
deficiency
was
in
Provision
;
and
no
Relief
could
enter
,
save
two
Shallops
,
who
got
in
at
the
break
of
day
,
at
which
time
the
Parliaments
Shallops
that
in
the
night-time
lay
close
to
the
Castle
to
intercept
them
,
drew
off
,
for
fear
of
being
discovered
as
they
were
so
neer
within
the
reach
of
the
Cannon
.
The
Governour
therefore
gave
the
Prince
notice
;
who
not
being
in
a
condition
to
relieve
the
place
,
there
being
a
numerous
Garrison
within
,
he
accepted
of
Terms
,
which
,
to
give
Colonel
Fortescue
his
due
,
were
the
best
given
by
any
but
the
General
himself
,
and
came
the
neerest
his
generous
way
of
Treating
,
and
caressing
an
yielding
Enemy
.
Not
long
after
followed
the
rendition
of
Scilly-Island
;
Scilly
-
Island
,
Denbigh
and
Holt
-
Castle
Surrendred
.
and
the
Prince
departed
for
France
:
the
like
of
Denbigh
,
and
Holt-Castle
,
which
concluded
the
Military
Actions
,
and
left
the
Conquerours
(
whose
wreathed
Bays
would
not
well
twine
together
;
the
Presbyterian
Thistle
,
and
the
Independant
Bramble
,
not
apt
to
such
coalition
,
but
scratching
and
tearing
one
another
,
)
worse
embroyled
than
they
had
been
throughout
,
or
before
the
War
,
in
the
greatest
difficulties
of
their
designs
or
defeats
.
The
Pricks
of
these
Triumphant
Coronets
sharply
troubled
the
heads
of
the
wearers
;
and
how
to
set
them
easily
they
knew
not
.
Ambition
was
the
most
poignant
and
grievous
to
Cromwel
,
Disdain
and
Envy
to
the
old
Presbyterian
Commanders
;
from
whence
resulted
a
just
indignation
in
some
of
their
Grandees
of
having
taken
Arms
to
such
ill
purposes
against
the
King
:
But
in
most
others
of
them
,
the
Itch
of
Sacriledge
and
Covetousness
,
the
longing
after
the
spoils
of
the
Kingdom
,
rebated
the
acuteness
of
those
animosites
,
jealousies
and
distrust
,
intending
their
private
advantages
,
and
chiefly
aiming
at
the
kirnel
,
Wealth
and
Riches
,
and
leaving
the
shell
of
Government
to
be
crackt
and
broken
by
other
mens
teeth
,
to
give
them
the
fruition
of
their
projected
profits
and
Estates
.
For
Cromwel
(
as
it
might
well
be
presumed
)
now
took
up
these
resolutions
,
which
he
had
staggered
at
some
while
before
,
to
invade
the
Soveraignty
:
unto
which
end
,
incredible
will
it
be
,
how
he
had
wrought
upon
the
Grandees
of
his
Faction
,
and
they
upon
the
Rascality
and
rabble
of
the
same
leaven
,
into
so
great
a
popularity
,
Cromwell
the
Idol
of
the
pretended
Saints
.
that
he
became
the
very
Idol
of
those
(
so
then
called
)
Saints
.
The
News-books
every
day
were
filled
with
the
wonders
of
his
Atchievements
;
where
he
was
present
at
any
success
,
all
was
attributed
either
to
his
fortune
or
Valour
;
where
they
had
Victory
in
his
absence
,
it
was
acknowledged
to
his
Counsel
and
Prudence
:
insomuch
that
by
sober
men
it
was
well
hoped
such
affronts
to
his
General
might
have
awakened
him
to
some
distruct
of
his
aspiring
method
;
but
by
the
secret
wisdome
of
God
he
was
blinded
,
not
onely
in
a
destructive
and
supine
compliance
with
this
Rebel
,
by
a
guilty
omission
of
his
care
and
inspection
over
him
,
but
infatuated
into
his
most
scelerate
and
abominable
practises
,
to
the
subversion
of
the
Parliament
,
and
the
execrable
murther
of
the
King
.
They
who
Raised
this
Army
against
their
Soveraign

being
Raised
afterwards
by
that
(
one
of
their
own
listing
)
Usurper
.
He
disbands
〈◊〉
of
the
Arm●
under
Major-General
Massey
.
His
main
and
first
engine
to
the
overthrow
of
the
Government
and
Laws
,
which
took
its
mischievous
effect
,
was
the
disbanding
part
of
the
Army
under
Major-General
Massey
,
a
Noble
person
,
and
though
formerly
an
enemy
to
the
King
in
that
unlucky
Siege
of
Gloucester
,
now
suspected
as
inclinable
to
a
moderate
use
of
that
Victory
the
Parliament
had
obtained
.
He
was
known
to
have
much
affected
General
Essex
,
of
whose
principles
,
and
intentions
of
duty
to
his
Prince
,
one
may
without
danger
say
they
were
tainted
by
the
contagion
of
the
times
,
but
never
corrupted
or
alienated
from
the
Kings
person
,
Authority
,
or
Family
,
or
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
.
By
disbanding
the
Forces
under
him
,
the
design
of
Cromwel
was
first
to
make
a
division
,
Cromwel
designes
to
create
differences
in
the
Army
.
and
stir
some
ill
humour
in
the
Army
,
as
if
that
were
the
leading
case
;
next
,
to
make
the
standing
Officers
,
when
they
should
know
they
were
at
his
disposal
,
more
sure
and
obliged
to
him
,
and
then
to
instil
into
them
his
own
Trayterous
devices
;
in
sum
,
to
perpetuate
the
War
till
he
had
attained
his
ends
,
and
then
continue
them
,
as
the
Turk
doth
his
Ianizaries
.
Colonel
Cooks
Brigade
disbanded
.
Accordingly
,
at
the
Devises
,
General
Fairfax
(
for
upon
him
it
was
put
)
disbanded
Major-General
Massey's
and
Colonel
Cook
's
Troops
,
being
in
all
2500
Horse
,
prepared
,
but
falsely
[
](A43206-e66850-b)*
*
Anglia
Rediviva
.
to
obey
the
Ordinance
of
Parliament
,
receiving
onely
six
weeks
pay
for
many
moneths
Arrears
:
and
because
the
Parliament
so
vehemently
tax
the
King
for
entertaining
of
Forreigners
,
and
also
because
it
is
very
strange
,
observe
what
[
](A43206-e66860-b)*
*
Anglia
Rediviva
.
he
saith
further
:
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
his
Pen
travelling
as
far
as
great
Alexanders
Sword
.
Many
of
the
disbanded
Souldiers
of
Forreign
Countries
.
Divers
of
the
disbanded
came
from
very
remote
Countries
,
and
bad
Passes
,
some
for
Egypt
,
others
for
Mesopotamia
and
Ethiopia
.
Upon
consideration
of
this
passage
(
besides
that
it
wipes
away
the
cavil
of
the
Kings
entertainment
of
Forraigners
,
a
more
general
and
no
less
envious
observation
ariseth
,
viz.
that
in
some
sort
it
may
be
said
(
what
was
spoke
of
the
Roman
Civil
Wars
,
That
all
Nations
and
people
were
engaged
in
the
fortune
and
Fate
of
Caesar
or
the
Senate
)
that
the
whole
World
was
concerned
in
our
English
Confusions
:
for
by
this
black
list
of
Auxiliaries
from
the
other
side
of
the
Line
,
and
such
remote
Regions
(
it
being
also
unquestionable
how
dexterously
and
designedly
all
our
potent
Neighbours
thrust
themselves
in
at
our
Breaches
)
our
troubles
and
intestine
feuds
may
be
allowed
to
pretend
to
a
like
obnoxious
greatness
and
reputation
;
since
the
fame
of
our
conflagration
and
incendiaries
flew
to
such
distant
and
scorched
Climates
.
Those
Salamanders
embroyled
themselves
in
the
fire
of
our
contentions
,
and
by
their
Hue
it
had
been
no
great
prejudice
to
the
Cause
they
maintained
,
if
a
man
had
guessed
them
to
be
the
Tutelary
Angels
thereof
;
the
inside
of
all
the
pretences
of
the
War
against
the
King
,
appearing
as
black
and
foul
as
the
outside
of
these
their
fellow-Souldiers
.
So
that
while
we
shall
now
in
its
order
and
time
repeat
the
subsequent
perpetrations
of
the
Party
and
Faction
,
the
War
being
wholly
finished
,
and
they
by
the
wise
providence
and
permission
of
God
possessed
of
all
they
quarrelled
for
;
(
though
it
is
not
fair
to
prepossess
posterity
)
the
Reader
and
after-times
will
suspect
or
think
there
is
some
Hiatus
or
deficiency
in
the
Register
of
these
troubles
,
if
after
such
a
promising
conclusion
(
wherein
the
necessity
and
blessing
of
Peace
seemed
to
be
well
accommodated
in
that
juncture
,
besides
the
opportunity
and
obligation
of
the
Parliament
to
make
appear
their
many
Declarations
and
Protestations
,
both
in
behalf
of
his
Majesty
and
the
Kingdom
)
he
shall
be
on
a
sudden
,
without
any
pause
or
expostulation
,
or
account
of
the
designes
and
practises
of
the
Parliament
and
Army
,
plunged
immediately
,
and
involved
again
in
new
,
The
Factions
begin
now
to
unmask
themselves
,
and
lay
open
their
intentions
.
and
worser
,
and
more
perplexed
actions
and
politicks
than
in
the
middle
of
the
War
:
for
now
having
laid
aside
the
mask
,
the
smooth
and
soft
cover
of
their
beautiful
pretences
,
they
put
on
the
gastly
and
terrible
Vizor
,
that
personated
the
Tyranny
and
Usurpation
which
soon
after
followed
.
To
proceed
then
,
The
state
of
the
matter
was
briefly
this
:
It
was
thought
now
high
time
by
the
principals
of
the
conquering
side
,
to
share
the
Soveraignty
;
but
the
difficulty
of
doing
it
,
in
regard
of
those
mutual
distrusts
that
waxed
every
day
stronger
betwixt
the
two
factions
of
Presbytery
and
Independency
,
The
two
Factions
,
Presbytery
and
Independency
distruct
each
other
.
delayed
a
while
the
actual
fruition
of
their
desires
.
The
Bucket
of
interest
went
up
and
down
a
long
while
,
one
side
secretly
closing
with
the
King
in
a
seeming
tenderness
for
his
Rights
and
Person
,
to
ballance
the
other
,
who
by
an
obstinacy
against
him
and
his
Government
,
engaged
most
of
the
first
leaven
of
that
tumultuous
rabble
to
an
adherence
and
strengthning
of
their
party
,
from
an
expectation
of
spoil
and
preferment
upon
their
Models
,
after
their
subversion
of
Monarchy
.
In
these
their
distractions
,
the
onely
expedient
for
both
,
was
to
protract
time
,
and
await
a
more
advantagious
and
favourable
juncture
for
either
of
them
,
wherein
to
compass
and
accomplish
their
several
aims
and
divided
projections
upon
the
Kingdom
.
Therefore
the
same
publike
ends
and
common
concernments
,
which
were
the
pretended
causes
of
the
War
,
were
now
declared
to
be
insisted
on
,
as
to
constant
and
perpetual
security
,
viz.
the
Laws
,
Religion
and
Liberty
.
That
the
b●●ting
the
Enemy
in
the
Field
,
was
not
sufficient
alone
to
that
purpose
,
but
that
some
provision
must
be
made
for
the
future
;
and
that
those
establishments
of
the
publike
upon
a
firm
Peace
,
would
require
time
,
after
so
many
commotions
and
dislocations
,
such
disorder
and
confusion
of
the
policy
of
the
Government
.
To
this
purpose
the
King
was
held
out
to
his
people
as
an
obstinate
person
,
The
King
maligned
to
his
people
.
no
way
changed
in
his
mind
as
to
their
good
,
but
that
all
his
offers
of
Treaty
and
Peace
were
meerly
to
impose
upon
their
credulous
affections
,
intending
nothing
less
than
satisfaction
to
his
Parliament
,
against
whom
he
had
waged
a
long
and
bloody
War
.
That
in
a
just
resolution
,
they
had
proceeded
,
and
would
persist
on
their
way
of
Propositions
,
on
which
alone
a
lasting
Peace
might
be
grounded
and
expected
.
That
in
the
mean
time
they
would
take
care
that
the
Common
Enemy
should
take
no
advantage
of
raising
a
new
War
,
(
indeed
their
tyrannical
method
of
Composition
for
their
Loyalty
in
the
first
,
might
well
make
them
as
good
as
their
words
.
)
And
with
the
old
flourishes
of
Liberty
,
and
happy
times
,
inculcating
their
Successes
,
and
ascribing
them
to
their
Cause
,
they
thus
offered
to
amuse
the
people
,
exchanging
their
fineness
and
smoothness
of
words
,
for
the
real
repose
and
tranquillity
looked
for
by
the
Kingdom
.
This
proceeding
highly
exasperated
the
Kings
party
,
and
as
much
encouraged
the
desperadoes
of
their
own
,
his
party
highly
exasperated
.
to
claw
them
with
Petitions
and
Addresses
of
Thanks
for
these
resolutions
,
proving
the
onely
means
to
continue
the
rupture
,
and
consequently
their
Power
and
Authority
;
which
how
then
and
hereafter
they
executed
,
we
will
now
more
particularly
relate
,
having
laid
down
these
SEEDS
of
the
SECOND
WAR
,
as
they
,
and
from
then
their
Sequestrators
and
Committees
were
most
wrathfully
pleased
to
call
it
,
when
they
wrongfully
placed
it
upon
their
score
and
account
.
The
Scotch
Parliament
and
Army
ingross
the
wealth
of
the
Nation
.
The
Scots
are
for
ready
Cash
,
the
others
for
Delinquents
Estates
.
The
King
in
the
Scots
possession
.
These
were
the
transactions
and
the
devices
of
the
English
Parliament
and
Army
:
it
will
be
requisite
to
see
what
the
same
bodies
of
Scotland
do
in
reference
to
the
Peace
of
both
Kingdoms
;
and
we
shall
finde
them
in
as
great
a
strangeness
to
it
as
the
former
,
and
not
with
far
different
purposes
and
intentions
:
For
the
Scots
would
have
money
in
Coyn
and
Specie
,
the
other
were
for
the
value
in
great
penny-worths
,
and
purchases
of
Delinquents
Estates
.
The
Scots
,
as
was
said
before
,
had
the
King
in
their
possession
,
a
good
pawn
and
pledge
for
the
debt
accrued
to
them
before
,
for
the
pay
due
for
their
service
in
England
;
which
being
not
over-hastily
pay'd
,
they
quitted
their
post
at
the
Siege
of
Newark
,
and
with
the
King
marched
Northwards
,
bearing
him
in
hand
that
they
were
his
gude
Subjects
,
and
would
stand
as
far
as
't
was
consistent
with
their
Covenant
,
for
his
person
and
interests
.
As
the
Army
marched
,
so
did
the
King
,
making
the
limits
of
their
Quarters
to
be
his
Court
,
until
by
leasurable
journeys
(
and
which
were
interrupted
by
several
Expostulations
,
Expresses
from
Westminster
)
he
came
at
last
and
took
up
his
residence
at
Newcastle
,
where
appeared
such
a
deal
of
Scotch
bravery
,
especially
among
the
Commanders
of
their
Army
,
that
the
place
appeared
like
the
revived
Court
of
King
Iames
after
his
assumption
to
the
Crown
of
England
.
Every
rag
worn
by
them
,
being
bought
and
purchased
(
if
so
fairly
come
by
)
with
English
gelt
.
The
Parliament
of
England
consult
concerning
the
Kings
person
.
In
the
mean
while
the
Parlianent
were
debating
concerning
the
Person
of
the
King
;
but
it
was
so
ticklish
a
point
,
that
they
agreed
not
to
any
present
positive
settlement
or
entertainment
of
it
,
but
negatively
,
in
signifying
to
the
Scots
,
that
in
England
his
Majesty
might
be
disposed
by
none
but
the
Parliament
of
England
:
That
their
Army
in
England
is
theirs
,
and
under
their
pay
,
and
pretending
the
inconvenience
of
the
great
distance
of
the
King
from
them
,
as
to
obtaining
of
his
assent
;
and
then
the
Covenant
.
This
begat
in
the
King
another
meditation
,
in
his
Eikon
Basil.
where
he
discourseth
and
deplores
those
events
,
which
put
him
to
such
a
choice
;
but
resolutely
fixeth
himself
on
his
own
Honour
and
Conscience
,
however
it
should
please
God
to
order
this
disposition
of
him
in
the
Scots
hands
.
And
contrariwise
it
raised
in
the
faction
Soliloquies
and
Charms
,
which
way
they
might
extricate
this
puzling
difficulty
.
As
the
first
expedient
,
the
old
stalk
of
courting
the
Prince
was
agreed
upon
;
and
therefore
they
sent
a
Letter
to
the
Governour
of
G●ernsey
to
be
conveyed
to
him
.
The
King
at
Newcastle
May
13.
At
the
Kings
Arrival
at
Newcastle
,
he
was
there
received
with
all
demonstrations
of
respect
,
both
from
the
Town
and
the
Scots
;
on
the
Towns
part
,
with
the
usual
customes
of
Bone-fires
,
and
ringing
of
the
bells
,
and
apprecations
for
his
Majesties
happy
restitution
,
and
speedy
accommodation
with
his
Parliament
;
on
the
Scots
,
in
a
semblance
of
the
same
gladness
and
duty
,
with
protestations
to
the
same
purpose
as
the
inhabitants
wishes
;
but
which
suddenly
lost
belief
,
The
S●ots
Gen.
Pro●laims
that
no
Papists
nor
Delinquents
shall
came
neer
the
Kings
Person
.
The
Sc●ts
lay
heavy
Assessments
on
the
Northern
Counties
.
They
send
for
their
Horse
.
when
their
General
signified
by
Proclamation
,
not
onely
that
no
Papists
or
Delinquents
should
come
neer
his
Person
,
but
also
,
That
although
his
Majesties
Person
were
present
,
yet
all
men
whatsoever
should
yield
Authority
to
the
Ordinances
of
the
Parliament
.
A
parcel
of
which
Authority
they
themselves
imitated
,
laying
heavy
Assessments
upon
all
the
Northern
Counties
,
pretending
the
Parliaments
negligence
of
their
pay
;
so
that
those
poor
people
were
ready
to
rise
and
free
themselves
from
these
oppressors
,
having
in
vain
Petitioned
them
at
Westminster
for
relief
:
which
the
Scots
senting
,
they
privately
sent
for
their
Horse
under
David
Lesly
,
who
had
defeated
Montross
at
Philipshaugh
(
of
which
briefly
before
)
and
driven
him
far
enough
into
the
High-lands
,
to
return
to
their
main
Army
then
at
Newcastle
,
to
reinforce
it
,
and
to
secure
themselves
in
their
Quarters
,
till
the
bargain
should
be
made
.
They
at
Westminster
understanding
hereof
,
do
resent
this
additional
force
of
Scots
,
and
thereupon
in
anger
Vote
,
The
English
Parliament
Vote
them
home
,
and
100000
l.
to
be
paid
to
their
Army
.
That
this
Kingdom
hath
no
further
need
of
the
Army
of
their
brethren
the
Scots
in
this
Kingdom
,
and
that
the
sum
of
one
hundred
thousand
pounds
should
be
advanced
and
paid
to
that
Army
,
as
followeth
,
viz.
50000
l.
after
their
surrender
of
Newcastle
,
Carlile
,
and
other
English
Garrisons
possessed
by
them
in
England
,
and
the
other
50000
l.
after
their
departure
into
Scotland
;
and
order
should
be
taken
for
the
payment
of
their
Arrears
.
This
was
a
good
come
on
,
and
a
handsome
induction
to
greater
sums
:
in
the
mean
while
the
Scotish
Commissioners
,
The
Scotch
Commissioners
gloze
with
the
English
Parliament
.
with
their
Omne
tulit
punctum
qui
miscuit
utile
Dulci
,
address
themselves
to
the
Parliament
with
their
glozing
oratory
,
protesting
the
good
intention
of
their
Army
and
Nation
,
and
obtesting
some
speedy
satisfaction
of
money
,
that
they
might
not
be
burdensome
to
the
Country
;
assuring
them
on
one
hand
,
of
their
complying
with
the
Parliament
according
to
Covenant
,
and
offering
something
for
the
King
too
a
la
Mode
the
same
Covenant
;
like
the
man
in
the
Fable
,
that
could
blow
hot
and
cold
with
the
same
breath
.
But
where
so
many
words
pass
between
buyer
and
seller
,
a
man
may
suspect
little
honesty
or
reason
in
either
.
To
confirm
this
their
firm
adherence
in
all
fairness
to
the
Covenant
,
The
Dispates
betwixt
the
King
and
Mr.
Henderson
at
Newcastle
.
Mr.
Alexander
Henderson
,
the
Moderator
formerly
in
that
illegal
Assembly
at
Glasgow
in
1639.
and
Commissioner
here
in
England
afterwards
,
a
famed
preacher
,
Scholar
,
and
Presbyter
,
was
set
upon
the
King
at
Newcastle
,
whom
the
King
handled
with
that
acuteness
both
in
private
Conferences
and
Disputes
,
as
also
in
discussive
Papers
of
the
Controversies
of
the
Discipline
of
the
Church
of
England
,
and
so
well
plyed
him
(
his
Majesties
prudent
and
laborious
undertaking
of
this
person
serving
to
stop
the
weaker
yet
more
malapert
assaults
of
his
English
Reformists
who
followed
this
grand
Pattern
)
by
asserting
the
practice
and
universal
consent
of
the
Primitive
Church
beyond
any
private
or
modern
opinion
whatsoever
,
that
it
is
more
than
credible
that
Mr.
Henderson
convinced
in
his
conscience
of
the
errours
he
had
maintained
to
the
promoting
of
Schism
and
Rebellion
,
from
such
a
Church
,
and
against
so
excellent
a
Prince
,
whose
Learning
,
Clemency
and
Courtesie
,
were
alike
eminent
,
not
long
after
upon
his
return
,
Mr.
Henderson
languisheth
and
dyeth
.
or
rather
sending
home
into
Scotland
,
languished
with
grief
and
anxiety
of
mind
;
and
with
plain
symptoms
thereof
,
and
no
other
outward
cause
,
dyed
.
Mr.
Stephen
Marshal
,
Mr.
Stephen
Marshal
a
great
Preacher
of
the
Covenant
at
Newcastle
.
another
Presbyterian
Minister
,
and
a
famous
Teacher
of
the
Covenant
,
was
there
also
;
but
the
King
would
not
be
troubled
with
his
discourses
,
having
such
cause
of
offence
at
his
prayers
;
which
made
him
afterwards
wholly
decline
any
intercourse
with
him
:
the
Papers
wherein
he
had
so
rationally
refuted
the
same
principles
with
Mr.
Henderson
,
being
publike
,
and
therefore
he
might
well
be
disobliged
from
further
trouble
in
that
Controversie
.
Politick
disputes
between
the
Parliament
and
the
Scotch
Commissioners
.
Nor
were
the
disputes
less
between
the
Scots
Commissioners
and
the
Parliament
,
which
every
day
came
in
Print
,
being
politick
,
subtile
wranglings
for
nothing
,
de
lana
Caprina
,
each
party
endeavouring
to
cajole
the
other
into
absurd
beliefs
:
meer
names
of
things
,
and
distinctions
,
as
the
Person
of
the
King
,
&c.
wholly
imploying
those
State-Logicians
,
with
whom
Majesty
and
duty
were
non●Entia
.
Into
these
frivolous
jars
,
Cromwel
and
his
Army-Fellows
put
in
their
Pleas
,
and
suborned
some
serious
fools
to
throw
in
their
considerations
of
the
matter
;
〈◊〉
and
〈…〉
.
which
reflected
bitterly
on
the
Scots
,
not
by
way
of
Reason
,
but
bold
impudent
aspersions
,
and
indeed
,
as
to
them
,
ungrateful
and
unmannerly
dict●ries
.
Those
the
Commissioners
take
notice
of
,
complaining
to
the
Parliament
;
but
in
vain
,
the
Independant
party
laughing
secretly
at
the
pudder
they
made
for
such
trifles
as
Religion
and
Government
,
which
so
forwardly
and
designedly
they
themselves
had
overthrown
,
and
aukwardly
and
scrupulously
they
would
now
seem
to
intend
and
establish
.
It
being
generally
received
by
them
,
as
proclaimed
by
others
,
That
all
was
but
a
Juggle

the
conclusion

disputes
concerning
the
obligations
of
the
Covenant
,
as
to
mutual
interests
and
polity
of
Government
,
whereby
the
one
Kingdome
might
not
act
without
the
concurrence
of
the
other
,
insisted
on
by
the
Scots
,
and
waved
by
the
Members
,
because
these
shadows
and
the
Covenant
it self
is
vanished
,
and
the
best
friends
of
it
would
be
loath
to
have
these
absurdities
and
clashings
of
the
said
League
revived
;
the
Confederates
,
as
at
the
building
of
Babel
(
such
our
after-Commonwealth
)
being
divided
within
three
years
time
among
themselves
in
the
very
language
of
it
;
and
some
great
promoters
of
it
then
,
calling
it
now
an
Old
Almanack
:
I
say
,
not
to
rake
in
this
unconcerning
matter
,
which
is
intended
to
be
forgotten
,
let
's
proceed
onely
with
this
due
insertion
of
another
matter
,
That
Cromwel
seeing
how
the
Scots
drove
at
money
for
pay
,
to
ripen
a
division
betwixt
them
and
the
Houses
,
set
Poyntz's
Souldiery
and
Garrison
of
York
,
where
he
was
Governour
,
to
mutiny
for
pay
,
and
to
force
it
as
the
Scots
did
,
whose
example
they
pleaded
;
and
with
the
same
blow
to
discard
Poyntz
first
from
the
affection
,
and
then
from
the
command
of
his
Forces
;
one
suspected
to
be
honester
than
the
designes
of
the
Army
could
suffer
.
〈…〉
11.
On
the
11
of
Iuly
the
Propositions
were
finished
,
and
sent
to
the
King
by
the
Earls
of
Pembroke
and
Suffolk
,
Mr.
Goodwyn
,
Sir
Walter
Earl
,
Sir
Iohn
Hippesly
,
and
Mr.
Robinson
:
who
met
on
the
way
with
a
Message
from
the
King
to
the
Two
Houses
in
answer
to
their
demand
for
the
Marquess
of
Ormonds
disbanding
in
Ireland
;
wherein
he
desires
their
Propositions
,
as
the
readiest
and
safest
way
to
gratifie
them
in
that
and
other
things
conducing
to
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
.
A
little
while
before
this
also
,
Monsieur
Bellieure
,
a
French
Ambassador
being
sent
to
accommodate
the
difference
between
the
King
and
Parliament
,
received
thanks
from
the
Parliament
,
to
whom
he
first
addressed
;
but
the
interposition
of
his
Master
was
wholly
denyed
:
whereupon
he
did
the
like
fruitless
office
to
the
King
;
and
having
had
some
private
Audience
with
him
,
after
many
good
morrows
departed
.
To
keep
a
punctual
account
of
the
Prince
his
Son's
peregrination
;
the
first
forrain
place
we
find
him
in
is
about
this
time
at
the
French
Court
in
Paris
;
of
which
the
Queen
,
then
there
also
,
gave
notice
to
the
King
by
Mr.
Montril
the
French
Agent
residing
there
.
The
Propositions
sent
now
to
the
King
were
quarrelled
at
by
the
Scots
Commissioners
;
first
,
because
they
were
not
the
same
with
those
formerly
sent
to
Oxford
and
Vxbridge
.
Secondly
,
Because
all
the
additions
,
omissions
and
alterations
made
in
them
,
are
in
those
things
which
concern
the
joynt
interest
and
union
of
both
Kingdomes
.
And
thirdly
,
the
danger
of
wholly
excluding
the
King
and
his
Posterity
,
and
so
the
Crown
,
from
their
right
to
the
Militia
;
which
was
an
alteration
of
the
Fundamental
Laws
.
And
fourthly
,
the
uncertainty
of
the
Religion
the
Parliament
would
establish
,
they
refusing
to
give
their
Brethren
,
the
Scots
,
the
particulars
thereof
;
Presbytery
being
then
piece-meal
offered
by
the
Assembly
of
Divines
to
the
Parliaments
consideration
.
In
this
point
,
The
Scots
urge
the
Parliaments
promise
of
Uniformity
,
and
their
ordering
the
Covenant
to
be
printed
in
most
Forrain
Languages
.
the
Scots
urged
how
many
promises
of
UNIFORMITY
the
Parliament
had
made
at
their
instances
to
them
throughout
the
War
;
and
that
this
Uniformity
might
be
extensive
,
and
become
the
Discipline
of
the
Reformed
Churches
every
where
,
and
so
be
the
Catholick
Rule
,
had
ordered
the
Covenant
as
a
Model
or
Pattern
to
be
printed
in
most
of
the
Forrain
Languages
;
that
it
should
be
a
sin
and
shame
to
England
,
that
all
sorts
of
Heresies
,
Sects
and
Schisms
should
be
so
multiplied
;
Liberty
of
Conscience
not
onely
pleaded
for
,
but
in
place
already
,
and
all
the
kindnesses
done
them
,
so
unhandsomly
slighted
.
And
as
to
the
Presbyterial
Government
to
be
established
here
,
Exceptions
were
taken
at
the
subordination
of
Church-Assemblies
to
Parliament
,
in
the
words
prescribed
,
lest
it
should
be
interpreted
as
if
the
Civil
Power
were
not
onely
conversant
about
matters
of
the
Church
and
Religion
,
but
were
formally
Ecclesiastical
,
and
to
be
exercised
Ecclesiastically
,
and
be
counted
such
a
Supremacy
in
the
Church
,
as
in
the
Pope
and
the
late
High-Commission
of
England
.
Next
,
they
scrupled
their
Provincial
Commissioners
for
judging
of
Scandal
,
there
being
no
such
Warrant
for
such
a
mixture
of
Lay
with
Spiritual
Officers
;
which
they
suppose
may
be
the
laying
of
a
New
Foundation
of
the
said
High-Commission
or
Episcopacy
.
Thirdly
,
That
admitting
the
Power
of
calling
and
convening
a
National
Assembly
be
in
the
Civil
Magistrates
as
positive
,
yet
they
cannot
allow
it
privative
or
destructive
,
and
that
therefore
such
Assemblies
may
not
be
restrained
to
times
of
Session
,
the
safety
of
the
Church
being
the
supreme
Law
;
That
therefore
it
should
not
be
left
ad
libitum
to
the
pleasure
of
the
Civil
Power
,
but
that
fixed
times
for
their
meeting
might
be
appointed
.
From
this
the
English
perceived
that
the
Scotch
Yoak
would
not
fit
their
necks
;
and
though
they
could
be
content
with
their
Spirituals
,
there
was
no
enduring
of
their
Temporals
:
which
consideration
,
with
those
Cavils
printed
and
published
,
produced
a
Declaration
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
The
Parliament
publish
a
Declaration
.
wherein
(
being
now
in
no
need
of
further
assistance
,
having
no
Enemy
left
but
that
Army
)
they
come
to
a
point
,
and
withal
thus
gird
their
gude
Brethren
(
we
shall
repeat
onely
one
Paragraph
.
)
Concerning
Church-Government
,
we
having
so
fully
declared
for
Presbyterian
Government
,
One
Paragraph
thereof
,
relating
to
Church-Goverment
,
&c.
having
spent
so
much
pains
,
taken
up
so
much
time
,
for
the
settling
of
it
;
passed
most
of
the
particulars
brought
to
us
from
the
Assembly
of
Divines
(
called
onely
by
us
to
advise
of
such
things
as
shall
be
required
of
them
by
the
Parliament
)
and
having
published
several
Ordinances
for
putting
the
same
in
execution
,
because
we
cannot
consent
to
the
granting
of
an
arbitrary
and
unlimited
Power
and
Jurisdiction
to
near
TEN
THOVSAND
IVDICATORIES
to
be
erected
within
this
Kingdom
,
and
this
demanded
in
a
way
INCONSISTENT
with
the
FVNDAMENTALS
of
GOVERNMENT
,
excluding
the
POWER
of
PARLIAMENT
in
the
exercise
of
that
IVRISDICTION
;
nor
have
we
resolved
yet
,
how
a
due
regard
may
be
had
,
that
TENDER
CONSCIENCES
which
differ
not
in
any
Fundamentals
of
Religion
,
may
be
so
provided
for
as
may
stand
with
the
word
of
God
,
and
peace
of
the
Kingdom
.
And
let
it
be
OBSERVED
,
that
we
have
had
the
more
reason
not
to
part
with
the
Power
out
of
our
hands
,
since
all
by-past
Ages
manifest
,
that
the
Reformation
and
purity
of
Religion
,
and
the
preservation
and
protection
of
the
people
,
hath
been
by
Parliament
,
and
the
exercise
of
this
power
:
our
endeavours
being
to
settle
the
Reformation
in
the
Kingdoms
of
England
and
Ireland
,
in
Doctrine
,
Worship
,
Discipline
,
and
Government
,
according
to
the
Word
of
God
,
and
the
example
of
the
best
Reformed
Churches
,
and
according
to
our
COVENANT
.
That
's
the
burden
of
the
Ditty
;
but
how
that
comes
to
be
set
in
opposition
to
the
Scotch
Model
of
Presbytery
,
may
be
left
to
the
distinguishing
Expositors
,
between
Bell
and
the
Dragon
.
The
Poets
Fiction
concerning
Proteus
,
was
certainly
a
meer
vaticination
and
prediction
of
this
variable
Monster
;
for
the
King
,
the
Kirk
,
the
Parliament
,
the
Sectaries
,
for
every
thing
according
to
its
present
interest
,
as
the
Camelion
appears
in
the
colours
that
are
neerest
it
.
A
serious
Kirk-fallacy
,
made
a
Parliament-Riddle
.
The
23
Propositions
sent
to
the
King
at
Newcastle
.
These
the
chiefest
of
the
Propositions
,
the
rest
relating
to
Ireland
,
and
other
private
Concerns
.
Come
we
now
to
those
long-hammered
Propositions
sent
to
the
King
at
Newcastle
,
Iuly
11.
as
aforesaid
,
which
were
twenty
three
in
number
.
First
,
That
his
Majesty
would

at
randome
]
Seventhly

For
taking
away
part

Mass
in
England
.

And
the
same
in
Scotland
if
they
please
.
Twelfthly
,
For
observation
of
the
Lords
day
,
against
Pluralities
and
Non-residents
,
and
for
Visitations
and
regulating
the
Vniversities
.
Thirteenth
,
That
the
Militia
of
the
three
Kingdoms
be
in
the
hands
of
the
Parliament
for
twenty
years
,
with
power
to
raise
money
and
suppress
all
Forces
,
&c.
Fourteenth
,
That
all
Honours
,
and
Titles
,
and
Dignities
,
conferred
on
any
since
the
great
Seal
was
conveyed
from
the
Parliament
,
May
21
1642.
be
nulled
;
and
that
those
who
hereafter
shall
be
made
Peers
by
the
King
,
shall
not
sit
in
Parliament
,
without
consent
of
both
Houses
.
Fifteenth
,
That
an
Act
be
passed
to
confirm
all
the
Treaties
between
England
and
Scotland
,
and
a
Committee
of
both
Houses
to
be
nominated
Conservators
of
the
Peace
between
both
Kingdoms
.
Sixteenth
,
An
Act
for
the
establishing
the
Declaration
of
both
Kingdoms
of
the
THIRTIETH
of
JANUARY
,
1643.
touching
Delinquents
,
with
other
qualifications
added
now
,
which
were
so
comprehensive
,
that
they
seemed
accommodated
for
the
fatal
prognostick
of
that
days
Revolution
in
1648.
when
accumulative
treason
(
a
word
invented
by
themselves
against
the
Earl
of
Strafford
)
was
extended
to
other
the
Kings
Friends
as
to
number
,
and
in
the
amassed
guilt
of
all
impiety
,
afterwards
practised
upon
the
life
of
his
Martyred
Majesty
;
exempting
from
pardon
all
such
as
had
proved
themselves
zealous
and
stout
asserters
of
the
King
and
his
Cause
;
Sequestrations
,
Bonds
,
Fines
,
and
Securities
abiding
the
rest
:
as
to
the
King
himself
,
they
had
left
him
nothing
but
the
name
and
Title
of
Regality
,
the
honour
and
support
thereof
being
quite
taken
away
.
The
rest
of
them
were
private
reserves
and
advantages
for
themselves
and
their
partisans
,
and
some
relating
to
the
Kingdom
of
Ireland
;
such
an
unreasonable
miscellany
,
that
the
Scots
for
pretence
of
honour
could
not
digest
them
,
but
scrupled
at
most
of
them
,
as
they
were
framed
at
Westminster
,
for
some
of
the
reasons
afore
mentioned
,
but
swallowed
then
,
and
were
satisfied
at
their
delivery
at
Newcastle
,
by
the
Solution
of
Two
hundred
thousand
pounds
,
when
in
a
peremptory
manner
,
as
will
presently
be
related
,
they
told
him
he
must
assent
.
At
the
delivery
of
those
Propositions
on
the
23
Iuly
,
the
King
asked
the
Commissioners
if
they
had
power
to
Treat
;
who
replyed
,
No
:
then
said
the
King
,
Discou●●
between
the
King
and
the
Parliaments
Commissioners
.
Saving
the
honour
of
the
business
,
an
honest
Trumpeter
might
have
done
as
much
.
I
hope
you
expect
not
a
present
Answer
to
this
high
concernment
.
To
which
they
answered
,
that
their
time
was
limited
to
ten
days
.
By
which
time
the
King
having
viewed
them
,
declined
them
altogether
,
though
hardly
be
laboured
and
sollicited
on
all
hands
to
comply
with
them
;
and
put
into
the
Commissioners
hands
a
Paper
containing
offers
of
coming
to
London
to
Treat
there
;
which
they
nevertheless
excused
themselves
from
sending
to
the
Parliament
:
whereupon
the
King
sent
this
Answer
to
the
two
Houses
by
a
Messenger
of
his
own
.
The
Propositions
tendered
to
his
Majesty
by
the
Commissioners
,
The
King
Answer
to
the
Propositions
August
1.
&c.
(
to
which
the
Parliament
have
taken
up
twice
so
many
moneths
for
deliberation
,
as
they
have
assigned
days
for
his
Majesties
Answer
)
do
import
so
great
alterations
of
Government
both
in
Church
and
Kingdom
,
as
it
is
very
difficult
to
return
a
particular
and
positive
Answer
,
before
the
explanations
,
true
sense
,
and
right
reason
thereof
be
understood
;
and
that
his
Majesty
upon
a
full
view
of
the
whole
Propositions
,
may
know
what
is
left
,
as
well
as
what
is
taken
away
or
changed
.
In
all
which
he
finds
that
the
Commissioners
are
in
no
capacity
to
Treat
with
him
.
That
it
is
impossible
for
him
to
give
such
a
present
judgment
of
,
and
answer
to
the
Propositions
,
whereby
he
shall
be
able
to
answer
to
God
,
that
a
safe
and
well-grounded
Peace
will
ensue
;
and
therefore
desires
to
come
to
London
upon
the
security
of
Parliament
and
Scotch
Commissioners
,
where
,
by
his
personal
presence
,
he
may
not
onely
raise
a
mutual
confidence
betwixt
him
and
his
people
,
but
also
have
those
doubts
cleared
,
and
difficulties
explayned
unto
him
,
which
he
now
conceives
destructive
to
his
Royal
power
,
if
he
shall
give
a
full
consent
as
they
now
stand
:
as
likewise
to
make
known
unto
them
his
reasonable
demands
,
which
he
is
assured
will
be
conducible
to
Peace
,
&c.
and
will
be
there
ready
to
give
his
assent
to
all
Bills
for
the
security
and
stability
thereof
,
not
having
regard
to
his
own
particular
.
Conjuring
them
as
Christians
,
as
Subjects
,
and
as
men
,
who
desire
to
leave
a
good
name
behind
them
,
that
they
will
so
receive
and
make
use
of
this
Answer
,
that
all
Issues
may
be
stopped
,
and
these
unhappy
distractions
peaceably
settled
.
And
postscribes
,
that
upon
such
assurance
of
agreement
he
will
immediately
send
for
the
Prince
his
Son
,
not
doubting
of
his
perfect
obedience
,
to
return
into
this
Kingdom
.
This
Answer
had
a
various
reception
in
the
House
of
Commons
;
it
startled
the
Presbyterians
,
as
who
found
it
difficult
to
effect
their
purposes
otherwise
than
by
and
with
the
King
;
it
tickled
the
Independents
,
who
did
all
they
could
,
by
thrusting
in
harsh
words
and
terms
,
to
make
the
King
indisposed
and
averse
to
all
.
Both
became
very
sensible
the
King
was
not
the
man
they
took
him
for
,
but
a
Prince
of
prudence
and
resolution
;
no
evil
Counsellors
being
to
be
taxed
with
the
penning
of
this
,
as
their
custom
was
,
except
Duke
Hamilton
,
Duke
Hamilton
and
the
Earl
of
Lanerick
industrious
to
work
his
Majesty
to
consent
.
and
his
Brother
the
Earl
of
Lanerick
,
both
of
whom
were
very
industrious
in
perswading
his
Majesty
to
consent
:
nay
,
even
better
friends
than
they
to
the
King
,
who
feared
this
peremptoriness
of
the
Parliament
would
grow
to
somwhat
worser
,
were
almost
of
the
same
mind
,
as
far
as
preferring
the
safety
of
his
life
would
indulge
such
thoughts
:
whom
the
Presbyterians
saw
there
was
no
way
,
but
by
strict
and
undutiful
restraint
,
to
bend
to
their
will
;
and
the
Independents
,
by
treachery
and
barbarous
villanies
to
break
and
utterly
to
destroy
.
Most
highly
incensed
therefore
was
the
Parliament
at
this
refusal
of
those
means
which
they
said
their
most
elaborate
prudence
,
and
diligent
ponderation
of
every
circumstance
(
after
so
long
a
time
)
conducing
to
the
King
and
Kingdoms
happiness
,
had
prepared
and
digested
to
such
an
equal
temperament
of
the
rights
of
the
King
and
the
people
.
The
Fastio●s
scandalize
the
King
as
being
obstinate
and
perverse
.
The
King
was
scandalized
and
reported
every
where
as
obstinate
and
perverse
;
while
nothing
but
the
ipse
dixit
of
the
equity
,
justice
,
or
reasonableness
of
their
Propositions
was
produced
;
nor
was
the
Kingdom
at
all
satisfied
with
their
shallow
suggestions
.
But
this
served
the
turn
with
those
who
were
glad
it
should
be
so
,
and
gratified
the
Rabble
and
the
Army
,
who
fearful
of
a
disappointment
of
their
shares
in
the
Ruine
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
hopes
whereof
had
so
long
flattered
them
,
more
especially
by
the
better
perswasions
and
irresistible
.
Arguments
of
money
,
they
(
suspecting
the
Issue
some
while
before
)
prevailed
upon
the
Scots
reason
,
and
faith
,
and
honesty
to
Boot
,
who
were
so
clearly
convinced
of
the
Kings
refractoriness
to
the
Counsel
of
his
Parliament
in
denying
those
Propositions
,
that
they
would
nor
could
no
longer
maintain
nor
abet
such
his
persistency
therein
,
but
would
leave
him
to
the
disposal
of
his
English
Parliament
;
having
first
procured
from
him
an
Order
and
severe
Injunction
to
the
Marquess
of
Montross
to
lay
down
Arms
(
though
in
a
probable
condition
of
recovering
his
late
Defeat
)
and
to
accept
such
Conditions
as
he
could
procure
for
him
;

Marquess
of
Montross

which
indeed
were
mean
,
and
full
of
secret
fraud
and
revenge
against
that
Noble
and
famous
Captain
.
He
was
forced
,
He
takes
ship
for
Norway
,
sollicites
for
the
King
in
forain
Courts
,
at
last
betakes
himself
to
the
Court
of
King
Charles
the
2.
in
the
disguise
of
his
Captains
habit
,
at
his
prefixed
time
,
to
put
himself
on
board
an
old
and
leaky
vessel
,
(
designed
for
him
by
the
Estates
of
Scotland
,
but
pretending
want
of
Victual
and
other
necessaries
,
while
the
time
of
his
embarquing
)
and
set
sail
for
Norway
,
where
it
pleased
God
he
arrived
in
safety
,
and
after
traversed
much
ground
,
solliciting
the
Kings
cause
in
several
forain
Courts
,
where
he
refused
all
imployments
,
intent
onely
upon
his
Majesties
affairs
;
and
at
last
betook
himself
to
the
Court
of
King
Charles
the
second
:
but
of
that
,
and
what
afterwards
happened
to
this
illustrious
Heroe
,
there
is
yet
room
for
another
Memento
.
The
Earle
of
Lowdon
unravels
the
compact
of
both
Parliaments
to
the
King
.
The
Scotch
Compact
being
concluded
,
the
Earl
of
Lowdon
very
fairly
tells
the
King
(
still
at
Newcastle
)
what
he
must
trust
to
,
if
he
will
not
comply
with
the
offers
of
the
Parliament
.
If
you
refuse
to
assent
,
you
will
lose
all
your
friends
in
Parliament
,
lose
the
City
and
all
the
Country
;
The
Lord
Lowdon
's
speech
to
the
King
.
and
all
England
will
joyn
against
you
as
one
man
:
they
will
process
and
depose
you
,
they
will
charge
us
to
deliver
your
Majesty
to
them
,
to
render
their
Garrisons
,
and
to
remove
our
Armies
out
of
England
;
and
so
both
Kingdoms
for
eithers
safety
to
agree
,
and
settle
Religion
and
Peace
without
you
,
to
the
Ruine
of
your
Majesty
and
posterity
:
and
if
you
lose
England
,
you
will
not
be
admitted
to
come
and
Reign
in
Scotland
.
We
confess
the
Propositions
are
higher
in
some
things
than
we
approved
of
,
but
we
see
no
other
means
of
closing
with
the
Parliament
.
And
immediately
thereupon
,
Instructions
are
sent
them
from
Scotland

concerning
the

It
had
been
debated
in
their
Parliament
,
and
from
thence
sent
to
the
Assembly
for
their
advice
,
by
whom
it
was
remitted
in
the
affirmative
,
and
carried
but
by
two
voices
in
the
Parliament
:
and
was
accordingly
transacted
at
Newcastle
and
London
.
The
Scots
oppress
the
Northern
Counties
.
But
the
Scots
were
not
so
willing
to
be
rid
of
the
King
,
as
the
Northern
Counties
were
to
be
rid
of
the
Scots
;
of
whom
,
besides
free
quarter
,
that
Army
had
levied
20000
l.
a
month
;
an
unheard-of
rate
,
and
a
most
unreasonable
.
Several
general
complaints
had
been
made
,
but
now
they
made
up
a
charge
of
particulars
,
with
variety
of
imputation
upon
them
;
which
being
also
Printed
,
the
Scots
Commissioners
desired
the
suppression
thereof
,
or
some
other
reparation
;
which
was

for
security
of
performance
.
as
one
may
think
,
well
repaid
in
the
sums
of
money
they
received
upon
this
Contract
,
which
at
first
demand
was
no
less
than
a
Million
;
but
in
consideration
of
a
present
round
sum
,
abated
to
400000
l.
whereof
200000
l.
to
be
paid
at
two
payments
,
the
first
upon
quitting
Newcastle
(
and
marching
beyond
the
River
Tine
)
the
other
upon
the
delivery
of
the
King
,
and
their
departure
out
of
England
,
and
surrendring
Carlile
and
Berwick
:
to
the
performance
on
either
part
,
Hostages
to
be
given
.
The
Scots
insisted
upon
security
for
the
remaining
200000
l.
naming
very
conscionably
and
brotherly
,
the
sale
of
Delinquents
estates
;
but
the
Parliament
would
not
so
undervalue
their
credit
,
nor
prostitue
it
to
their
lustful
eye
,
cast
upon
so
fair
a
partage
of
their
Conquest
;
nor
buy
the
King
,
and
sell
his
friends
.
The
money
they
had
was
enviously
enough
bestowed
on
them
,
But

p●id

of
Church-Lands

of
Pa●liament
.
being
the
sacrilegious
rapine
of
Church-Lands
then
exposed
to
sale
by
Ordinance
of
Parliament
,
but
conveyed
in
pomp
to
the
place
of
payment
in
thirty
six
Waggons
,
six
Regiments
of
the
Army
by
the
order
of

General
going
with
it
for
its
Convoy

and
according
to
the
agreement
,
the
first
100000
l.
was
paid
at
Northallerton
in
December
.
Not
to
prosecute
this
subject
further
through
so
many
diversities
,
The
King
delivered
by
the
Scots
.
and
change
of
countermines
,
nor
to
touch
on
those
irreverend
Declarations
from
the
Scotch
Parliament
and
Assembly
,
and
their
Reasons
as
unmannerly
,
of
not
admitting
the
King
into
that
his
Kingdom
,
it
will
suffice
to
say
,
that
at
last
they
acquainted
the
Parliament
(
having
received
their
money
)
that
they
were
now
upon
going
home
,
and
desired
to
know
what
service
the
Parliament
would
command
them
to
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
:
which
the
King
foreseeing
,
and
that
he
should
be
thus
basely
abandoned
by
them
,
he
betakes
himself
afresh
to
his
sollicitation
of
his
English
Parliament
,
wherein
he
saith
,
That
he
had
endeavoured
by
his
Answer
of
the
24th
of
July
last
,
The
Kings
Message
from
Newcastle
of
the
20th
of
December
.
to
their
Propositions
delivered
him
in
the
Name
of
both
Kingdoms
,
to
make
his
intentions
fully
known
.
But
the
more
he
endeavoured
it
,
he
more
plainly
saw
that
any
Answer
be
could
make
,
would
be
subject
to
misinformations
,
and
misconstructions
;
which
upon
his
own
explanations
he
is
most
confident
will
give
such
satisfaction
,
as
to
establish
a
lasting
Peace
.
He
proposeth
therefore
again
his
coming
to
London
,
He
pr●p●s●th
.
again
his
coming
to
London
.
upon
security
of
both
Houses
,
where
by
his
personal
presence
he
may
not
onely
raise
a
mutual
confidence
betwixt
him
and
his
people
;
but
also
have
all
doubts
cleared
,
&c.
To
conclude
,
it
is
your
King
who
desires
to
be
heard
(
the
which
if
refused
to
a
subject
by
a
King
,
he
would
be
thought
a
Tyrant
for
it
)
and
to
that
end
which
all
men
did
profess
to
desire
.
Wherefore
he
conjures
them
,
as
they
desire
really
to
shew
themselves
what
they
profess
,
as
good
Christians
or
subjects
,
that
they
accept
this
his
Offer
,
which
he
is
confident
God
will
so
bl●ss
as
to
a
happy
Settlement
,
&c.
A
Reply
was
sent
to
the
former
by
Sir
Peter
Killigrew
,
one
who
had
been
the
Parliaments
Messenger
throughout
;
but
none
to
this
,
the
two
Houses
being
taken
up
with
the
business
of
disposal
of
his
person
somewhere
else
,
which
was
wholly
remitted
to
them
by
the
Negative
Resolves
of
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
,
Scotch
Parliament
resolves
concerning
the
Kings
person
.
upon
the
Question
of
the
Kings
coming
into
that
Kingdom
:
That
the
Government
shall
be
managed
in
the
same
manner
and
way
as
it
hath
been
these
five
years
last
past
,
and
that
fresh
Assays
and
all
means
in
the
interim
shall
be
used
to
make
the
King
take
the
Covenant
.
That
if
he
shall
do
so
,
yet
the
taking
of
it
,
or
passing
the
Propositions
,
will
not
warrant
them
to
assist
him
in
England
;
nor
is
the
bare
taking
of
it
sufficient
otherwise
.
That
the
clause
in
the
Covenant
for
defence
of
the
Kings
person
,
is
to
be
understood
of
the
defence
and
safety
of
the
Kingdom
.
That
if
he
refuse
the
Propositions
,
he
shall
be
disposed
according
to
the
Covenant
and
Treaty
.
That
he
shall
execute
no
power
or
Authority
in
Scotland
,
till
he
do
signe
them
,
and
take
the
Covenant
;
and
that
the
Vnion
be
kept
between
both
Nations
.
His
Majesty
guessing
at
this
their
desperate
and
perfidious
desertion
of
him
,
had
sounded
their
Commissioners
then
attending
him
,
in
what
condition
or
estate
he
was
among
them
;
whether
at
Liberty
,
or
a
Prisoner
:
and
put
the
Dilemma
upon
them
,
If
at
liberty
,
why
he
might
not
dispose
of
himself
any-whither
?
if
in
restraint
,
what
did
they
mean
by
his
assenting
and
signing
the
Propositions
,
which
in
no
case
could
be
valid
or
binding
,
if
agreed
by
him
while
a
Prisoner
?
To
this
the
Scots
had
nothing
to
say
,
but
their
Covenant
with
the
English
,
which
they
might
not
contravene
;
and
that
according
to
the
above
mentioned
Resolves
,
which
they
now
declared
,
he
was
to
be
rendred
to
such
hands
as
the
Parliament
of
England
should
appoint
,
who
were
expected
every
day
upon
that
errand
.
They
further
excused
themselves
from
their
reception
and
admission
of
his
Majesty
into
Scotland
,
from
the
danger
and
hazard
they
might
incur
,
his
party
being
not
yet
so
disbanded
,
but
that
by
his
neer
presence
,
and
advantage
of
his
person
,
they
would
resume
their
Arms
and
Courages
,
and
put
that
Nation
in
a
worse
broyl
than
before
:
and
for
conclusion
,
they
told
him
,
they
were
in
no
condition
to
entertain
him
in
that
state
and
dignity
due
to
his
person
;
the
Treasure
exhausted
,
and
his
Revenews
eaten
up
:
so
that
there
was
but
one
way
for
his
Majesty
to
turn
,
which
he
might
make
hereafter
large
and
convenient
enough
,
by
a
present
speedy
complyance
with
his
two
Houses
at
Westminster
.
This
made
the
King
to
look
about
him
,
and
to
cast
about
which
way
to
prevent
and
eschew
this
streight
in
which
the
baseness
of
the
Scots
had
thus
engaged
him
.
A
Plot
noysed
of
the
King's
escape
.
A
design
was
therefore
thought
on
of
his
escape
from
them
;
but
it
was
presently
discovered
,
and
the
surrender
of
him
the
rather
expedited
:
for
the
Scots
were
such
honest
dealers
,
that
having
received
their
money
upon
the
bargain
,
they
would
not
defeat
their
Chapmen
of
their
purchase
.
A
wretched
advantage
to
either
!
the
Scots
never
thriving
after
it
,
but
being
totally
at
last
vassalized
and
subdued
;
and
the
Presbyterians
in
England
every
day
growing
less
and
less
,
till
they
were
swallowed
up
in
the
Anarchy
and
Medly
of
the
following
times
,
and
benighted
in
the
succeeding
confusions
and
Schisms
.
We
will
leave
the
King
thus
in
the
Ballance
between
England
and
Scotland

and
cross
over
to
Ireland
,
of
which
little
mention
hath
been
yet
made
,
but
shall
now
be
remembred
in
its
own
series
.
In
the
first
four
months
of
that
Rebellion
,
no
less
than
150000
Men
,
Women
and
Children
were
Massacred
there
by
the
Irish
Rebels
;
an
account
whereof
hath
been
published
,
taken
by
the
Rebels
themselves
,
lest
they
should
have
seemed
more
Cruel
and
Barbarous
than
indeed
they
were
.
Some
of
these
Murders
were
committed
by
old
English
Families
Grafted
upon
Irish
stocks
,
and
thereby
became
Roman-Catholicks
;
such
as
were
the
Lords
of
the
Pale
,
who
openly
sided
with
the
Irish
,
and
were
their
Chief
Officers
and
Leaders
.
The
Earl
of
Leicester
had
been
appointed
Lord
Deputy
;
and
he
hastned
thither
;
but
some
difficulties
intervening
,
he
by
Commission
appointed
the
Earl
(
afterwards
Marquess
,
then
Duke
)
of
Ormond
to
be
his
Lieutenant-General
in
that
service
;
who
after
many
successful
Encounters
with
the
Irish
(
whose
numbers
maintained
the
War
more
than
their
Valour
,
(
though
raised
by
the
greatest
incentive
imaginable
,
Natural
desire
of
Libertie
)
from
the
pressing
Calamities
of
the
Protestants
there
,
and
the
urgency
of

had
concluded
a
Cessation
by
order
of
the
King
in
1643.
Notwithstanding
the
Parliament-party
and
the
Scots
still
carried
on
the

Irish

they

and
after
a
months
hiding
were
taken
)
at
the
Kings-Bench
Bar
,
where
Macquire
insisted
mainly
on
his
Peerage
,
but
was
over-ruled
,
and
both
by
a
Jury
of
Middlesex-Gentlemen
found
guilty
,
and
sentenced
for
High-Treason
,
for
which
soon
after
they
were
Executed
as
Traytors
at
Tyburn
.
The
Lord
Inchiquin
and
the
Lord
Broughil
condescended
not
likewise
to
this
Treaty
,
but
with
intermixed
success
stood
out
against
the
whole
power
of
the
Rebels
,
and
were
at
last
greatly
distressed
.
To
remedy
this
,
the
Lord
Lisle
,
Son
to
the
Earl
of
Leicester
,
was
now
ordered
to
go
for
Ireland
,
with
an
Army
of
8000
men

Marquess
of

converts
the
Cessation
into
Peace
,
it
is
●●p●●ed
by
the
Popi●h
C●ergy
,
and
the
inve●●ate
Papist
.
who
took
several
places
of
strength
in
a
short
time
;
whereupon
the
Marquess
of
Ormond
proceeded
to
make
that
Cessation
a
kind
of
Peace
;
it
being
judged
by
the
Lords
of
the
Council
there
,
not
onely
an
expedient
for
their
safety
(
for
the
Rebels
threatned
to
besiege
Dublin
)
but
also
to
divide
them
against
one
another
:
the
more
moderate
of
them
,
who
had
some
sence
of
the
Kings
condition
,
and
had
not
altogether
Renounced
their
Loyalty
,
being
for
a
composure
;
but
the
Popes
Nuncio
and
the
inveterate
Irish
,
such
as
the
Family
of
Oneal
and
Masquire
,
and
generally
the
Popish
Clergy
Opposing
themselves
thereto
.
Notwithstanding
it
took
some
effect
;
for
the
Marquess
perceiving
that
no
good
could
be
done
at
present
with
the
Parliament
of
England
,
with
whom
he
had
Treated
for
supplies
and
assistance
,
and
had
in
lieu
of
it
offered
the
Surrender
of
the
places
he
held
,
upon
conditions
,
to
them
and
the
Forces
they
should
send
,
came
to
agreement
with
the
Rebels
there
;
and
though
the
King
had
by
his
Letters
from
Newcastle
ordered
him
not
to
proceed
farther
to
any
conclusion
with
them
,
according
as
the
Parliament
had
desired
him
,
yet
seeing
the
necessity
of
falling
into
the
hands
of
the
Rebels
or
the
Parliament
,
and
considering
that
the
King
when
he
writ
this
was
in
restraint
,
and
so
his
Commands
might
be
dispensed
with
,
and
that
the
Kings
intention
was
to
be
judged
better
by
them
who
saw
the
necessity
of
it
upon
the
place
,
and
so
not
give
way
to
other
mens
designs
and
false
representations
of
it
to
his
Majesty
;
received
these
Propositions
for
Peace
following
,
being
signed
in
November
1646
,
from
the
haughty
Irish
,
who
thought
themselves
absolute
.
-
First
,
That
the
exercise
of
the
Roman
Catholick
Religion
be
in
Dublin
,
and
Drogheda
,
and
in
the
Kingdom
of
Ireland
,
as
free
as
in
Paris
or
Brussels
.
-
Secondly
,
That
the
Council-Table
consist
of
Members
true
and
faithful
to
his
Majesty
,
and
who
have
been
enemies
to
the
Parliament
.
-
Thirdly
,
That
Dublin
,
Drogheda
,
Team
,
Newby
,
Cathirly
,
Carlingford
,
and
all
Protestant
Garrisons
,
be
manned
by
the
confederate
Catholicks
,
to
keep
the
same
for
the
use
of
the
King
,
and
defence
of
the
Kingdom
.
-
Fourthly
,
That
the
said
Counsellours
,
Generals
,
Commanders
,
and
Souldiers
,
do
swear
and
engage
to
fight
against
the
said
Parliament
of
England
,
and
all
the
Kings
Enemies
;
and
that
they
will
never
come
to
any
agreement
with
them
,
to
the
prejudice
of
his
Majesties
rights
,
or
the
Kingdoms
.
-
Fifthly
,
That
both
parties
,
according
to
their
Oath
of
Association
,
shall
to
the
best
of
their
power
and
cunning
,
defend
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
Kings
rights
,
and
liberties
of
the
Subject
.
These
the
Irish
insisted
upon
,
and
were
held
in
play
,
that
they
should
be
granted
with
such
Provisoes
as
should
become
the
Kings
Honour
and
Conscience
,
of
which
,
if
that
Loyalty
they
pretended
was
any
way
Real
,
they
ought
not
to
be
less
sollicitous
than
the
Marquess
;
and
in
the
mean
while
,
the
Peace
to
be
as
good
as
Established
:
A
half
peace
made
in
Ireland
.
which
indeed
by
the
said
moderate
party
was
thenceforward
observed
,
as
to
his
Majesties
Interest
in
that
Kingdom
.
The
Parliament
to
stop
this
Agreement
,
a
little
before
dispatcht
away
the
Lord
Lisle
,
who
weary
of
his
Journey
at
his
setting
out
,
was
recalled
;
but
part
of
his
Army
was
Transported
,
with
whom
was
Colonel
Monck
(
the
after
Renowned
General
)
who
being
Tampered
with
,
Colonel
Monck
is
sent
by
the
Parliament
into
Ireland
.
and
for
his
Liberty
,
having
endured
a
long
Imprisonment
in
the
Tower
for
the
space
of
three
years
,
undertook
an
Employment
for
the
Parliament
in
Ireland
.
The
Forces
shipped
from
Chester
were
neer
two
thousand
,
accompanied
with
three
Commissioners
from
the
Parliament
to
the
Marquess
,
who
having
offered
Dublin
upon
some
Terms
,
which
they
were
to
present
to
his
Majesty
for
him
to
signe
;
upon
non-performance
thereof
on
their
part
,
by
keeping
the
Paper
from
the
Kings
sight
,
now
refused
the
delivery
of
the
City
without
his
Majesties
Command
:
so
that
after
a
Noble
Treatment
given
the
Commissioners
,
they
for
the
present
ceased
any
further
Transaction
,
and
shipped
away
the
said
Forces
,
under
Colonel
Monck
,
for
Belfast
in
the
North
of
Ireland
,
where
they
did
very
good
service
against
Oneal
and
his
fellow-Rebels
.
The
conclusion
of
this
Peace
was
as
ill
resented
by
the
Nuncio
,
The
Parliament
and
Popes
Nuncio
alike
unconcerned
in
the
Peace
..
and
all
the
said
Popish
party
,
as
it
was
by
the
Parliament
:
For
the
Catholick
Armies
having
lately
had
several
great
successes
,
and
neither
of
the
two
other
Kingdoms
then
in
a
condition
to
relieve
that
of
Ireland
,
thought
upon
nothing
less
than
a
shaking
off
the
English
yoak
,
which
so
often
in
former
ages
they
had
attempted
,
but
never
had
the
like
probabilities
as
now
:
the
Clergy
therefore
,
who
were
generally
addicted
to
the
Spaniard
,
under
whose
protection
they
would
render
themselves
and
the
Nation
,
The
Spaniard
threatens
to
besiege
Dublin
.
thundered
out
Excommunication
against
any
that
should
acquiesce
in
the
said
Peace
and
Agreement
,
and
with
an
Army
of
17000
Horse
and
Foot
,
resolve
,
notwithstanding
thereof
,
to
march
and
besiege
Dublin
.
This
result
begot
a
division
among
them
,
as
by
the
Marquess
was
afore
consulted
;
The
Nun●io
and
his
party
,
notwithstanding
some
divisions
among
them
,
prosecute
the
War
.
but
yet
so
great
a
strength
remained
to
that
party
against
the
Peace
,
that
the
said
Marquess
was
forced
to
resume
his
former
Treaty
with
the
Parliament
,
concerning
the
delivery
of
those
places
he
held
to
their
Commissioners
;
who
being
sensible
how
difficult
a
work
it
would
prove
to
begin
a
new
Conquest
of
that
people
,
if
either
by
force
or
a
Treacherous
Peace
they
should
possess
themselves
of
that
little
that
was
left
to
the
English
Protestant
interest
,
did
labour
with
the
King
,
the
Marquess
,
and
the
Scots
,
that
there
might
be
no
entertainment
of
any
Accommodation
with
them
,
being
ready
(
they
said
)
to
Transport
over
a
numerous
Army
,
to
r●duce
and
subdue
that
Rebellion
;
which
they
pretended
had
ere
long
been
done
,
if
the
King
would
have
permitted
them
,
by
a
complyance
with
their
Propositions
.
The
King
indeed
was
loth
to
abandon
himself
and
his
hopes
in
that
Kingdom
,
with
his
Forces
in
England
and
Scotland
at
the
same
time
,
sadly
foreseeing
how
the
two
Houses
would
use
their
Victory
,
and
plainly
seeing
how
his
Scotch
Subjects
had
already
abused
him
;
therefore
he
with
no
little
reluctancy
was
brought
to
give
way
to
the
demand
concerning
Ireland
:
but
there
being
no
remedy
,
(
all
the
assurances
he
had
from
the
Marquess
,
and
the
Lord
Digby
,
as
well
as
from
the
transaction
of
the
Marquess
of
Worcester
,
then
Earl
of
Glamorgan
,
being
disappointed
by
the
Rebels
falseness
and
Treachery
,
who
indeed
thought
of
nothing
less
than
Peace
,
whereby
the
English
Forces
there
could
not
be
spared
to
his
assistance
)
he
consented
to
supersede
and
cease
all
manner
of
Treaty
with
the
Enemy
as
aforesaid
;
which
it
is
probable
they
coming
to
understand
,
did
therefore
the
rather
Violate
their
Accord
which
so
unwillingly
they
entred
into
,
as
doubting
of
the
performance
of
it
,
it
being
wholly
out
of
his
Majesties
Power
and
Authority
.
Whatsoever
the
matter
was
,
the
Lord
of
Ormond
was
at
last
constrained
(
as
the
lesser
Evil
)
to
close
with
the
Parliament
,
and
surrender
:
of
which
,
and
the
War
prosecuted
there
by
them
,
in
the
next
year
.

poysoned

A
Zealous
man
for
a
composure
,
and
an
able
Souldier
.
The
13
of
September
,
the
Earl
of
Essex
(
the
former
General
)
dyed
of
an
Apoplexy
,
suddenly
(
having
for
a
little
while
before
retired
himself
to
his
house
at
Eltham
,
)
not
without
great
suspicion
of
poyson
,
or
some
such
practice
.
For
he
was
known
to
have
had
his
judgment
rectified
concerning
the
Quarrel
,
and
to
have
stickled
for
a
composure
of
the
War
in
the
House
of
Peers
;
and
his
influence
on
the
Army
not
yet
so
weakned
,
but
that
he
could
make
a
party
there
to
any
design
he
should
stand
for
,
and
the
Reformadoes
his
fast
friends
.
He
was
an
able
Souldier
,
confest
;
whether
so
much
a
man
,
disputed
;
the
reproaches
of
his
debility
that
way
,
as
loud
and
unmannerly
,
as
the
praises
of
his
Valour
and
conduct
were
justly
due
and
renowned
.
The
Royalists
derided
him
with
the
stile
of
his
OXCELLENCY
,
jeering
him
with
his
two
unfortunate
Marriages
,
He
was
unfortunately
married
to
the
Lady
Francis
Howard
,
and
afterwards
married
to
Sir
Amias
Pawlet's
Daughter
.
first
with
the
Lady
Francis
Howard
,
from
whom
he
was
divorced
for
his
impotency
and
frigidity
,
quoad
hanc
;
and
the
Daughter
of
Sir
Amias
Pawlet
in
Wiltshire
,
suspected
of
incontinency
with
Mr.
V●edal
.
Her
he
had
declined
himself
,
who
during
the
War
continued
at
Oxford
,
while
her
Husband
was
in
the
field
.
Nor
did
he
suffer
less
reproach
from
the
P●anatick
Rabble
,
who
prostituted
his
honour
at
the
same
rate
:
They
that
were
once
most
highly
in
love
with
his
person
,
scorning
and
contemning
him
;
like
adulterous
fondness
,
which
converts
into
extreme
hate
and
contempt
.
By
them
whom
his
popularity
had
estranged
from
their
first
love
to
their
Prince
,
was
he
alike
repudiated
,
with
publike
dicteries
and
representations
in
Pictures
.
So
Transitory
is
Vulgar
esteem
,
grounded
no
other
where
than
upon
levity
and
desire
of
change
,
the
deserved
fate
of
such
Grandees
,
who
with
the
specious
debauchery
of
good
Commonwealths-men
and
Patriots
,
corrupt
the
minds
,
and
alienate
the
affections
of
the
Subject
,
to
dote
upon
the
bewitches
and
flatteries
of
Liberty
,
of
which
such
persons
are
held
forth
by
their
courtesie
and
affability
to
be
the
main
ass●rtors
:
so
that
it
may
be
said
of
this
Earl
,
that
he
was
alike
served
with
his
wives
,
and
the
Commonalty
;
saving
that
by
the
last
he
lost
his
innocency
,
and
the
real
honour
of
his
house
and
Family
.
But
the
Parliament
(
to
which
the
Faction
very
readily
concurred
)
to
make
reparation
for
those
indignities
done
him
,
His
Funeral
solemnized
,
Oct.
22
in
a
magnificent
manner
.
of
which
they
could
not
otherwise
acquit
themselves
,
ordered
his
Exequies
to
be
performed
in
a
very
solemn
and
magnificent
manner
.
The
Independent
party
,
to
colour
and
allay
with
the
pomp
and
honour
of
his
Funerals
the
envy
and
suspicion
of
his
death
,
not
grudging
belike
to
make
a
golden
bridge
for
a
departing
Enemy
;
as
they
might
well
reckon
him
to
prove
to
their
succeeding
designs
,
when
his
duty
to
his
injured
Prince
,
and
love
to
his
abused
deluded
Country
,
and
indignation
of
those
affronts
and
contumelies
put
upon
him
,
should
raise
in
him
a
spirit
as
able
to
lay
that
white
Devil
of
Reformation
,
as
he
was
to
conjure
it
up
in
the
dreadful
shape
of
an
unnatural
and
disloyal
War

The
very
soul
of
Presbytery
now
departed
,
that
which
actuated
its
mass
and
matter
,
the
inform
Schism
in
the
Church
,
to
a
most
unnatural
division
in
the
State
,
and
armed
its
hands
with
Force
and
violence
to
propagate
its
dominion
,
and
Magisterial
Usurpation
;
when
from
pretentions
of
Ecclesiastical
Authority
,
it
invaded
the
Civil
Supremacy
and
Government
:
it
was
now
culminant
,
and
with
this
great
Patron
and
Champion
of
it
was
come
to
its

or
full
stop
,
having
been
declared
by
Ordinance
of
Parliament
,
for
the
onely
Religion
and
manner
of
Worship
in
England
:
The
Ordinance
for
Presbyterian
Government
to
be
in
force
but
three
years
.
but
to
make
an
experiment
of
in
onely
,
the
Ordinance
was
to
continue
no
longer
than
three
years
;
a
limitation
which
boded
its
abolition
,
and
forespoke
the
inconveniences
and
unsuitableness
thereof
to
our
Laws
,
Manners
and
Customs
.
Nothing
but
the
best
things
are
perpetual
,
say
the
Philosophers
,
all
immoderate
things
are
short-lived
;
and
't
was
a
secret
,
but
mortal
wound
,
this
prescription
of
time
gave
to
the
pretended
Divine
Right
of
Presbytery
,
which
by
that
Plea
must
always
be
invariable
,
unchangeable
and
indeterminable
.
But
when
this
first
great
Pillar
of
it
fell
,
(
as
it
is
observable
,
such
Great
Ones
seldome
go
unaccompanied
)
it
submitted
to
its
period
;
its
great
blaze
and
flames
it
had
raised
waning
into
a
glimmering
and
suspicious
light
,
lookt
upon
rather
as
a
Meteor
or
Exhalation
,
that
any
fixed
Luminary
,
the
ill
influence
thereof
confirming
our
belief
.
And
the
Directory
established
the
same
time
,
The
Directory
established
.
was
clearly
such
an
ignis
fatuus
,
which
was
to
serve
as
a
guide
to
the
wandring
extemporary
excursions
of
prayer
,
not
allowing
any
certain
or
sure
Form
,
the
onely
help
and
promoter
of
true
Piety
and
Devotion
.
It
languished
for
a
while
after
in
London
,
but
with
such
slighting
and
disregarding
,
as
was
due
to
the
worshipful
Pageantry
of
that
Motly
and
time-serving
Ordinance
,
wherein
Presbytery
and
Independency
were
so
blended
and
moulded
together
,
that
the
least
touch
would
separate
and
divide
them
;
as
was
presently
seen
in
the
Contests
between
these
two
parties
.
The
Presbyterian
and
Independent
parties
divided
.
It
will
be
therefore
requisite
to
give
an
account
here
of
the
manner
and
design
of
that
rupture
between
them
,
it
proving
the
rise
of
all
those
calamities
that
after
befel
the
King
.
The
Presbyterians
were
more
numerous
,
the
Independents
more
active
,
vigilant
and
restless
,
watching
all
opportunities
,
and
present
both
in
publike
and
private
Counsels
:
oft
have
they
wearied
out
the
House
with
long
unnecessary
debates
,
to
unseasonable
times
of
night
;
and
when
the
Members
of
the
other
faction
,
being
tyred
and
diseased
,
had
withdrawn
themselves
,
slipt
in
a
Vote
of
great
concernment
,
and
carried
it
by
themselves
.
If
in
a
full
House
any
thing
contrary
or
destructive
to
their
designs
was
ready
to
pass
,
by
putting
in
Proviso's
,
and
perplexing
the
matter
,
or
by
instance
of
further
consideration
of
affairs
of
such
importance
,
they
so
hinder'd
it
,
that
it
dyed
an
Embryo
abortive
.
Some
of
the
Grandees
of
the
other
party
they
likewise
so
wrought
upon
,
that
they
became
false
friends
to
their
own
side
;
the
weaker
sort
of
them
they
amused
with
fair
offers
.
They
scrued
themselves
by
one
means
or
other
,
The
Independents
subtile
practices
.
by
promises
,
preferments
,
largesses
,
into
all
manner
of
persons
who
could
either
hinder
or
advance
their
designs
;
and
when
they
had
proceeded
so
forward
by
this
smooth
way
,
they
attained
the
rest
by
Menace
and
Threats
,
and
the
formidable
insolence
of
their
Army
,
which
they
had
solely
at
their
Devotion
:
yet
notwithstanding
they
were
shreudly
put
to
it
,
and
countermined
by
some
eminent
Patriots
,
whose
indefatigable
diligence
and
sagacity
was
yet
deluded
by
these
following
Artifices
.
Their
prodigal
liberality
of
bestowing
5000
l.
and
10000
l.
on
some
of
the
chief
of
the
Presbyterian
Members
for
their
losses
and
sufferings
,
far
beyond
the
value
of
them
,
was
the
first
.
This
clearly
begot
in
them
a
supine
negligence
of
their
main
drift
.
Next
,
they
surrogated
and
substituted
in
the
place
of
those
Members
whom
they
had
expelled
for
their
Loyalty
,
men
of
mean
fortunes
,
and
wholly
addicted
to
,
and
of
the
Army
,
who
awed
(
by
drawing
their
Troops
thither
,
)
the
several
Boroughs
at
their
Elections
,
by
which
means
they
became
at
last
a
competent
party
in
the
House
to
carry
any
thing
.
But
the
main
Engine
was
the
Self-denying
Ordinance
,
whereby
all
Members
of
either
House
were
discharged
from
bearing
any
Office
Military
or
Civil
,
The
self-denying
Ordinance
,
by
which
the
Independents
out-wit
the
Presbyterians
.
and
obliged
to
quit
all
their
places
of
profit
and
preferment
,
that
the
publike
business
might
be
better
attended
.
By
this
shift
they
heaved
out
many
eminent
Presbyterians
,
who
were
possessed
of
Places
and
Offices
in
the
Treasury
,
Garrisons
and
Commands
of
like
consequence
,
and
put
in
their
friends
,
or
those
whom
the
profit
would
soon
render
such
,
in
their
stead
.
So
that
by
this
device
the
Presbyterians
were
absolutely
stript
of
all
Power
,
and
were
wip'd
and
cheated
out
of
the
Militia
,
for
which
they
began
the
War
,
and
which
they
had
violently
wrested
from
their
Soveraign
.
Who
cannot
here
but
admire
the
wonderful
steps
and
traces
of
Divine
Justice
?
The
Presbyterians
were
not
wholly
insensible
whitherto
this
tended
;
but
they
could
not
with
any
pretence
of
honesty
resist
the
plausibility
of
this
Ordinance
,
lest
they
should
seem
all
along
to
have
sought
themselves
,
and
not
the
Kingdoms
good
.
A
cry
very
rife
and
loud
,
put
into
the
heads
of
some
Democratical
and
Levelling
Scriblers
of
the
Fanatick
Rabble
,
by
Cromwel
and
his
Privy
Council
.
They
cast
about
therefore
to
check
and
counterplot
this
grand
Stratagem
by
another
as
subtile
,
The
Presbyterians
Counterplot
,
of
disbanding
the
Army
.
and
altogether
more
feisible
and
necessary
,
that
was
,
to
disband
the
Army
,
since
they
perceived
they
had
lost
their
Command
and
disposal
of
it
.
The
Independents
had
used
the
same
trick
with
good
success
in
their
modelling
and
disbanding
Colonel
Massey
;
and
the
Peace
of
the
times
,
and
the
charge
of
the
Kingdom
,
did
seem
more
instantly
to
require
an
end
of
the
War
here
,
as
Ireland
the
translation
of
it
thither
.
But
the
Independent
Faction
soon
smelt
out
the
design
,
Cromwel
sents
it
,
and
●pre●s
it
among
his
Souldiers
.
and
gave
notice
to
Cromwel
(
who
was
still
licensed
to
continue
in
all
his
Commands
,
his
Ironsides
,
by
which
name
he
was
now
called
,
being
ORDINANCE-PROOF
)
of
its
undoubted
effect
,
if
the
Army
interposed
not
.
He
upon
conference
with
his
Privado
Ireton
,
agrees
to
spread
it
among
the
Souldiers
,
and
withal
to
add
their
own
comment
,
That
the
Parliament
by
the
prevailing
Vote
of
some
unsound
Members
,
were
resolved
to
disband
the
Army
,
and
cheat
them
of
their
Arrears
,
and
send
them
in
a
wanting
condition
into
Ireland
,
to
be
Butchered
by
the
Rebels
,
for
having
thus
faithfully
served
them
in
England
.
And
we
may
soon
imagine
what
a
quarrel
and
hatred
this
begot
in
the
lump
of
the
Souldiery
against
the
Parliament
;
but
it
was
best
judged
by
the
irreconcileable
malice
against
them
,
which
they
made
appear
not
long
after
,
in
those
most
insolent
and
daring
affronts
,
in
assaulting
,
seising
,
impeaching
,
and
secluding
them
several
times
in
the
two
years
ensuing
.
From
this
Military
rage
and
indignation
they
were
presently
put
upon
an
unpractised
,
and
as
licentious
as
dangerous
a
design
,
even
to
the
Authors
themselves
(
as
it
afterwards
proved
,
though
their
confident
ambition
made
them
venture
it
)
of
chusing
out
two
out
of
each
Company
and
Troop
to
be
their
Adjutators
,
They

Polititian
.
and
to
draw
up
the
sence
of
the
Army
,
and
to
assist
at
the
Councils
of
War
,
and
advise
therein
for
the
Peace
and
safety
of
the
Kingdom
,
even
to
such
a
sawcy
degree
of
strange
freedom
,
as
to
give
their
Vote
,
and
to
put
in
their
spoke
to
any
debate
.
This
highly
conciliated
them
and
the
whole
Army
to
act
whatever
was
privately
suggested
to
them
by
Cromwel
,
and
engaged
them
alike
in
the
hazard
which
by
these
desperate
courses
he
was
resolved
to
run
;
counting
it
no
diminution
of
his
greatness
,
if
by
the
basest
servilities
,
and
wretched
Familiarities
,
he
could
attain
his
Tyranny
.
By
these
ADJUTATORS
,
or
AGITATORS
,
a
Protestation
of
the
Army
was
drawn
and
published
,
where
they
declared
not
to
disband
nor
go
for
Ireland
,
The
Army
declare
not
to
disband
till
all
their
Arrears
are
paid
.
until
all
their
Arrears
were
paid
,
and
the
people
restored
to
those
rights
for
which
they
had
engaged
,
and
the
Kingdom
setled
,
and
Peace
secured
,
by
an
Act
of
Indempnity
principally
for
themselves
.
Which
demands
being
formed
into
a
Petition
(
which
was
pretended
to
be
no
more
than
a
Transcript
of
a
nother
from
several
Counties
to
the
General
to
the
same
purpose
)
was
delivered
to
the
House
by
Colonel
Hammond
,
Colonel
Rich
,
and
Colonel
Ireton
.
The
Presbyterians
now
plainly
saw
what
they
must
trust
to
,
and
therefore
put
on
a
good
face
,
and
generously
shewed
their
displeasure
of
this
undutiful
procedure
;
and
to
cry
quits
with
their
Country-cheat
,
put
the
County
of
Essex
,
and
some
other
adjacent
,
to
Petition
them
to
pursue
their
resolutions
of
disbanding
.
In
the
intrigues
of
which
affair
,
we
will
leave
them
embroyled
,
and
proceed
to
their
no
less
perplexed
consultation
concerning
the
King
.
On
the
sixth
of
February
the
King
was
delivered
,
The
King
and
Newcastle
turned
over
to
the
English
Commissioners
,
Feb.

and
Newcastle
at
the
same
time
,
by
the
Scots
,
to
the
Parliament
Commissioners
,
whose
names
were
as
followeth
:
the
Earl
of
Pembroke
,
Earl
of
Denbigh
,
Lord
Mountague
,
Sir
Walter

,
Sir

,
Sir

Harrington
,
Sir
Iohn
Cook
,
Mr.
Crew
,
(
afterwards
Lord
Crew
of
Stene
)
and
Major-General
Brown
,
and
two
Ministers
,
Mr.
Marshal
and
Mr.
Caryl
,
whom
they
might
well
have
spared
▪
Marshal
being
an
Amphibiam
or
Hermaphrodite
of
Presbytery
and
Independency
;
to
this
as
a
Pensioner
,
to
the
other
a
Chaplain
;
and
was
not
much
unlike
Major-General
Skippon
,
who
had
the
same
Ianus
aspect
to
the
Army
and
City
,
to
the
last
whereof
he
approved
himself
a
most
Treacherous
friend
,
as
in
all
other
the
secret
practices
of
the
Presbyterians
afterward
.
Caryl
was
downright
Independent
;
both
of
them
so
inacceptable
to
the
King
,
that
he
would
by
no
means
admit
either
of
them
to
preach
before
him
;
which
begat
such
a
disgust
in
Caryl
,
that
he
mightily
promoted
ever
after
the
Independent
slander
of
the
Kings
obstinacy
:
Marshal
lived
not
long
after
,
being
discovered
and
slighted
by
all
Parties
.

The

having

his
Majesty's
hand
,
acquainted
him
with
their
Order
and
Instructions
to
convey
him
to
his
house
at
Holdenby
,
in
North-hamptonshire
;
but
the
King
desired
New-Market
,
as
more
convenient
,
and
nearer
to
London
:
but
understanding
he
was
not
at
their
disposal
,
who
were
tyed
up
by
the
Parliament
,
he
acquiesced
,
and
with
a
sorrowful
mind
departed
,
attended
with
near
1000
Horse
,
accompanied
by
the
Commissioners
.
On
the
eighth
of
February
at
night
he
lodged
at
Durham
,
next
to
Aukland
,
to
Richmond
,
to
Kippon
,
to
Leeds
,
to
Wakefield
,
to
Rotheram
,
to
Mansfield
(
whereabouts
he
was
met
by
the
General
,
who
at
his
approach
alighted
,
and
his
Majesty
gave
him
his
hand
to
kiss
,
and
this
commendation
,
That
he
was
a
truely
Noble
person
,
and
had
kept
the
Articles
and
Conditions
he
had
so
fairly
given
)
to
Leicester
,
and
so
to
Holmby
;
being
all
the
way
thither
gratulated
by
the
people
,
as
if
in
a
Progress
.
So
far
was
any
part
of
the
Kingdom
(
and
those
had
been
his
sharpest
and
sorest
Enemies
)
from
thinking
him
the
cause
of
their
Troubles
,
(
as
he
was
afterwards
most
untruly
Blasphemed
,
)
that
with
all
joy
and
gladness
imaginable
they
would
have
brought
him
in
with
their
Peaceful
Troops
,
without
more
ado
,
to
his
innocent
Throne
,
instead
of
a

Proclamation
was
made
,
That
none
that
had
assisted
him
,
or
deserted
the
Parliament
,
should
presume
to
come
near
his
person
.
This
solitude
gave
him
opportunity
,
though
(
as
he
saith
most
elegantly
himself
)
sad
occasion
for
some
of
those
excellent
Meditations
in

Basil.
particularly
that
of
his
restraint
in
this
place
;
which
was
so
much
the
more
tedious
,
This
solitude
the
occasion
of
his
writing
his
excellent
Meditations

by
their
barbarous
refusal
of
admitting
his
Chaplains
,
or
but
any
two
of
them
,
to
minister
to
him
in
this
distress
.
He
had
twice
so
passionately
,
and
with
such
obliging
language
(
that
his
Christianity
passed
on
his
Regality
)
wooed
the
House
of
Lords
to
do
him
that
favour
,
that
they
could
not
in
pity
and
Piety
refuse
;
but
the
House
of
Commons
peremptorily
withstood
them
,
alleaging
that
those
Chaplains
would
the
more
indispose
him
,
and
avert
him
from
complying
with
them
as
to
Religion
.
This
denyal
grievously
troubled
the
King
;
but
since
there
was
no
perswasion
of
them
,
he
endeavoured
to
convince
their
Commissioners
,
in
whose
company
he
past
some
hours
of
his
confinement
at
Bowles
and
other
exercise
;
which
he
in
particular
affected
with
Major-General
Brown
,
who
most
dutifully
reconciled
himself
to
the
King
,
protesting
his
sorrow
to
have
engaged
so
far
against
him

and

This
perhaps
might
be
indured
by
Subjects
from
their
fellows
,
from
the
consideration
of
precedents
of
other
the
like
Commotions
,
especially
from
such
starveling
States-men
as
these
;
but
in
prudential
manners
,
they
could
not
be
presumed
to
be
more
cruel
to
their
Soveraign
.
He
had
waged
no
War
for
the
lust
of
any
Favorite
,
nor
exercised
any
Tyranny
over
his
people
,
but
had
been
defended
and
ayded
in
his
just
quarrel
,
by
the
Noblest
and
most
considerable
of
his
Subjects
;
not
abandoned
like
Edward
the
second
,
Richard
the
second
or
third
;
but
in
the
decay
and
decli●ing
of
his
fortune
,
more
intently
beloved
,
by
how
much
his
vertues
in
such
a
fiery
probation
became
more
conspicuous
and
relucent
.
But
for
all
this
,
he
is
treated
by
his
two
Houses
as
one
of
the
worst
,
and
most
undervalued
and
slighted
of
all
his
predecessors
;
they
vouchsafe
not
a
thought
of
him
,
but
what
's
scared
with
the
jealousie
of
publike
safety
,
the
main
thing
to
be
attained
:
it
is
sufficient
for
him
,
that
he
breathes
the
fresh
Ayr
,
theirs
is
indeed
too
hot
and
contagious
.
While
they
thus
neglect
him

Major
part
of

House
,
and
were
sure
of
the
Lords
to
concur
with
them
)
the
King
,
by
an
Audacious
Policy
,
which
puzled
most
men
what
to
make
on
it
,
is
on
the
4
of
Iune
late
at
night
seized
on
by
a
Guard
of
1000
men
from
the
Army
,
under
one
Cornet
Ioyce
a
great
Adjutator
,
who
being
very
importunate
to
speak
with
the
King
,
though
at
such
an
unseasonable
time
,
was
at
last
admitted
;
where
he
declared
his
Arrand
was
to
remove
his
Majesties
person
to
the
Army
,
for
his
and
their
security
.
The
King
told
him
it
was
too
late
for
that
night
,
but
in
the
Morning
he
would
speak
with
him
.
Next
morning
the
King
arose
early
,
The
King
deliberates
what
to
do
.
and
had
conference
with
the
Commissioners
,
who
were
highly
troubled
with
the
news
;
but
their
Guards
were
not
sufficient
to
maintain
them
in
the
resolution
of
keeping
him
;
onely
General
Brown
offered
to
adventure
;
but
't
was
concluded
to
no
purpose
:
for
't
was
not
to
be
doubted
that
they
who
durst
attempt
so
dangerous
a
thing
,
had
seconds
neer
at
hand
to
reinforce
them
;
and
the
House
was
so
guarded
,
that
there
was
no
hopes
neither
of
his
escape
:
so
that
the
King
went
down
into
the
Court-Yard
,
and
after
some
few
private
words
with
Ioyce
,
asked
the
Souldiers
,
puts
several
questions
to
the
Souldiers
.
By
whose
Authority
they
came
thither
.
They
Answered
,
From
the
Army
.
He
was
instant
,
if
from
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
his
Army
?
they
continued
,
From
the
Army
.
His
Majesty
then
replyed
,
What
if
I
should
refuse
to
go
with
you
,
would
you
compel
me
?
They
Answered
,
We
hope
your
Majesty
will
not
refuse
;
but
we
have
command
to
bring
you
.
His
Majesty
concluded
,
I
have
these
Questions
to
put
to
you
,
which
if
you
grant
,
I
will
go
with
you
.
He
requests
them
.
First
,
That
he
might
have
no
violence
offered
his
person
.
To
which
they
all
together
shouted
,
and
cryed
,
None
,
None
.
Secondly
,
He
desired
that
his
Trunks
and
Papers
might
not
be
rifled
and
tumbled
,
(
here
were
parcels
of
his
Eik
.
Basil.
and
some
other
choice
Pieces
,
as
was
known
since
.
)
They
promised
to
set
a
guard
upon
them
,
and
that
they
should
not
be
touched
.
Thirdly
,
He
required
such
servants
to
attend
him
,
against
whom
there
were
no
just
exceptions
.
They
Answered
,
He
should
.
And
Lastly
,
desired
that
nothing
might
be
imposed
on
him
contrary
to
his
conscience
.
They
Answered
,
that
it
was
not
their
judgment
to
force
any
thing
against
Conscience
on
any
one
,
much
less
on
his
Majesty
.
Whereupon
his
Majesty
took
horse
,
His
Majesty
takes
horse
,
is
welcomed
at
Childersly
by
the
General
,
but
especially
by
Cromwel
.
and
was
conveyed
by
them
to
the
Head-quarters
at
Childersly
,
where
he
was
welcomed
by
the
General
,
but
with
greater
Reverence
and
expressions
of
Loyalty
received
by
Cromwel
,
who
now
plaid
his
Master-piece
of
dissimulation
,
professing
himself
a
devoted
servant
to
his
Majesties
interest
,
and
that
the
strangeness
of
this
action
of
the
Army
,
proceeded
of
meer
care
of
his
person
,
and
out
of
respect
to
his
Authority
,
which
they
should
equally
assert
with
their
own
rights
and
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
against
any
persons
whatsoever
.
His
Majesty
then
propounded
that
they
would
conduct
him
to
Mewmarket
,
the
house
he
had
formerly
designed
to
go
to
,
there
to
expect
what
judgement
or
resolutions
his
two
Houses
would
make
of
his
Treasonable
enterprise
;
wherein
though
he
dealt
as
warily
with
Cromwel
,
as
he
did
fallaciously
with
his
Majesty
,
not
seeming
to
look
upon
it
as
so
heinous
a
fact
as
it
was
,
yet
he
expected
the
Parliament
,
(
if
they
were
absolute
,
and
not
awed
;
which
by
this
means
would
be
experimented
)
to
call
the
principals
and
complices
in
it
to
a
severe
account
,
and
therefore
reserved
himself
to
Cromwel
,
till
he
could
thence
judge
of
it
;
hoping
if
the
Army
were
masterless
,
to
make
better
Terms
with
them
,
than
he
had
yet
hopes
of
from
his
two
Houses
;
and
the
Impostor
did
not
stick
to
declare
as
much
;
which
was
more
manifest
and
easier
of
belief
,
when
all
persons
that
were
formerly
of
his
side
,
The
Army
suffer
the
Kings
friends
and
Chaplai●s
to
attend
him
.
without
any
distinction
,
were
admitted
;
his
Chaplains
,
suffered
to
attend
him
,
and
the
use
of
the
Liturgy
and
Common
Prayer
publikely
allowed
him
.
Upon
the
Kings
first
arrival
at
the
Head-quarters
,
the
General
sent
to
the
Parliament
,
giving
them
an
account
thereof
,
but
withal
clearing
himself
from
any
hand
in
it
,
and
saying
as
much
for
the
Council
of
Officers
:
And
't
is
very
credible
he
knew
not
who
it
was
did
it
,
or
by
whose
direction
it
was
done
,
but
was
informed
by
his
Council
of
Officers
,
that
now
it
was
done
,
't
was
very
requisitely
and
oportunely
done
;
and
it
being
the
sence
of
the
Army
,
he
had
done
enough
in
giving
them
at
Westminster
(
for
the
Parliament
sounded
no
more
at
the
Head-quarters
)
an
account
of
Him
.
But
of
this
presently
at
large
.
Cromwel
the
chief
conspirator
in
seizing
the
King
.
Most
certain
it
is
,
that
this
designe
was
laid
solely
by
Cromwel
and
Ireton
,
and
personated
by
the
Agitatours
,
suspected
many
of
them
,
and
that
rationally
,
for
Jesuits
;
who
were
as
good
at
wicked
Plots
and
Contrivances
,
as
either
of
those
Catilines
;
but
most
accomplished
for
execution
,
having
such
Lawless
,
yet
most
powerful
Indemnity
,
not
onely
to
protect
them
,
but
to
shroud
their
other
Conspiracies
for
themselves
,
against
this
Church
and
State
.
It
is
strange
indeed
to
consider
how
many
several
interests
were
driven
on
among
the
Belials
of
this
Army
,
as
then
,
under
the
appearance
of
honest
and
most
just
ends
;
the
same
pretence
whereof
served
,
and
was
accommodate
to
each
particular
combinating
against
the
Publike
,
as
so
many
lines
tending
to
one
Center
:
with
all
which
Cromwel
wisely
temporized
,
giving
secret
encouragement
to
them
all
,
professing
to
intend
the
same
things
,
and
to
be
of
the
Party
,
but
that
for
a
while
there
was
a
necessity
of
concealing
his
resolutions
:
To
this
purpose
cares●ing
the
Papists
,
upon
all
addresses
or
discourses
with
him
;
as
also
familiarizing
himself
with
the
Levellers
,
Cromwel
sets
up
the
Levellers
.
as
the
men
indeed
that
were
to
do
his
business
,
and
were
right
of
his
complexion
for
the
spoyl
of
the
Kingdom
,
to
be
compassed
any
manner
of
way
,
but
by
setting
up
a
Government
or
Laws
(
for
their
projected
Democracy
was
but
a
more
exact
method
or
Rule
of
Thievery
)
of
all
which
they
most
abominated
Monarchy
,
as
the
most
regular
and
strict
,
whose
awful
Authority
could
solely
restrain
their
loose
and
licentious
practises
,
and
keep
the
mad
vulgar
within
their
bounds
from
invading
all
propriety
,
secured
by
the
ancient
Tenure
of
all
Lands
and
Inheritances
from
the
Crown
,
They
designe
to
lay
all
things
in
common
.
and
the
Laws
,
which
their
devilish
intention
was
to
abrogate
and
abolish
,
and
by
a
Wild
parity
lay
all
things
in
Common
.
But
for
fuller
satisfaction
what
this
Intrigue
or
designe
meant
,
it
will
be
requisite
to
consult
the
King's
and
the
General
's
,
or
rather
the
Armies
account
thereof
,
just
as
it
was
done
:
and
first
from
the
Actors
,
the
General
and
Council
of
War
.
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
his
Letter
.
MAster
Speaker
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
his
Leter
to
the
Parliament
.
yesterday
the
King
was
taken
from
Holdenby
by
some
Souldiers
,
who
brought
him
thence
by
his
consent
,
the
Commissioners
going
along
with
Him
:
That
his
Majesty
lay
that
night
at
Colonel
Mountagues
,
(
after
Earl
of
Sandwich
,
)
and
would
be
at
New
market
next
day
:
That
the
ground
of
the
removing
the
King
,
was
from
an
apprehension
of
some
strength
gathered
to
force
the
King
from
them
;
whereupon
he
sent
Colonel
Whaley
with
his
Regiment
to
meet
the
King
and
the
Commissioners
,
and
to
return
them
back
again
;
but
they
refused
,
and
were
come
to
Sir
John
Cuts
neer
Cambridge
.
Professing
That
this
remove
was
without
his
consent
,
or
his
Officers
about
him
,
or
the
body
of
the
Army
,
or
without
their
desire
or
Privity
,
and
that
he
will
secure
the
King's
person
from
danger
.
Further
assuring
the
Parliament
,
that
the
whole
Army
endeavours
Peace
,
will
not
oppose
Presbytery
,
nor
affect
Independency
,
or
to
hold
a
licentious
freedom
in
Religion
,
or
interest
in
any
particular
party
,
but
will
leave
all
to
the
Parliament
.
Tiberius
Letters
about
Sejanus
were
not
half
so
mystical
as
these
,
nor
was
there
ever
so
daring
,
braving
an
attempt
done
in
the
face
of
the
Sun
,
to
the
face
and
person
of
a
Prince
,
so
covered
and
concealed
under
such
obscurities
and
pretended
ignorances
,
which
rendred
the
impudence
of
the
action
more
dangerously
fearful
,
by
how
much
the
less
it
was
conjecturable
what
it
portended
;
nor
could
the
King
himself
at
present
well
resolve
himself
or
his
two
Houses
in
this
juncture
,
as
we
shall
see
in
his
acquainting
of
the
Parliament
with
it
by
the
Earl
of
Dunfermling
,
where
he
saith
,
contrary
to
what
Fairfax
before
,
That
he
was
unwillingly
taken
away
by
a
strong
party
of
Horse
:
The
Kings
Message
concerning
it
.
and
desired
of
the
Parliament
to
maintain
the
Laws
of
the
Land
;
and
that
though
he
might
signe
to
many
things
in
this
condition
,
yet
he
would
not
have
them
believed
till
further
notice
given
by
him
to
his
two
Houses
.
The
King
imagined
they
would
make
use
of
his
Authority
,
by
forcing
his
consent
to
some
Proposals
and
designes
of
Government
;
but
they
onely
made
a
stalking
Horse
of
his
person
,
keeping
his
interest
,
by
pretences
of
respect
to
him
,
on
foot
,
meerly
to
countenance
their
own
,
and
outvy
and
awe
the
Presbyterian
party
.
The
perplexed
thoughts
of
the
Parliament
and
City
about
it
.
At
the
news
of
it
in
London
,
both
Parliament
and
City
were
in
such
confusion
,
and
so
distracted
,
that
they
might
well
be
excused
from
rightly
judging
of
the
fact
;
therefore
they
first
bethink
of
remedy
:
the
Houses
order
the
Committee
of
Safety
to
sit
all
night
,
and
provide
,
ne
quid

and
dispatch
a
Messenger
to
the
General
,
requesting
him
not
to
come
neerer
London
than
twenty
five
miles
;
for
news
was
brought
them
they
were
upon
a
speedy
March
for
the
City
,
who
at
the
same
time
shut
up
their
shops
,
run
to
their
Arms
,
and
make
a
fearful
hurry
for
a
while
,
and
then
resolve
to
send
Commissioners
likewise
,
and
attend
the
Issue
in
peace
:
in
such
a
maze
did
this
accident
put
them
.
In
the
mean
while
the
King
is
caressed
by
the
Army
,
and
shown
in
state
to
the
people
,
who
with
great
joy
every
where
receive
him
,
and
applaud
the
Army
,
who
to
carry
their
business

some
of
his
Majesties
old
Friends
to
have
access
to
his
person

as
the
Duke
of
Richmond
,
The
Duke
of
Richmond
,
Dr.
Sheldon

Dr.
Hammond

suffered
to
have
access

the

who
Officiated
with
him
in

,
according
to
the
Church

,
and

others
of

note
.
At
this
the
Parliament
take
exceptions
,
and
send
again
to
the
General
,
expostulating
the
matter
,
and
desiring
him
to

The
Army
declare
.
In
Answer
to
this
,
the
Army
declare
,
and
require
(
after
their
like
manner
of
expostulation
about
the
Irish
Expedition
,
and
Transporting
the
Army
thither
,
that
it
was
against
former
Declarations
of
the
Parliament
,
the
precedent
case
of
the
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
and
the
liberty
and
freedom
of
the
People
)
That
the
Houses
may
speedily
be
purged
of
such
as
ought
not
to
sit
there
.
That
such
who
abused
the
Parliament
and
Army
,
and
endanger
the
Kingdom
,
may
speedily
be
disabled
from
doing
the
like
or
worse
.
That
some
determinate
period
of
time
may
be
set
to
this
and
future
Parliaments
,
according
to
the
intent
of
the
Bill
for
Triennial
Parliaments
.
That
provision
be
made
that
they
be
not
adjournable
and
dissolvable
by
any
power
but
their
own
consent
during
their
Respective
period
,
and
then
to
determine
themselves
.
That
the
freedom
of
the
people
to
present
Grievances
by
Petition
to
the
Parliament
,
may
be
vindicated
.
That
the
exorbitant
powers
of
Country-Committees
may
be
taken
away
.
That
the
Kingdom
may
be
satisfied
of
the
Parliaments
accounts
for
the
vast
sums
received
,
and
in
other
things
where
the
Kingdom
hath
been
abused
.
That
after
Delinquents
have
passed
their
Compositions
,
an
Act
of
Oblivion
may
be
passed
.
Then
they
proceed
to
a
Charge
against
ELEVEN
Members
;
which
being
read
to
them
,
they
stood
up
and
made
defence
.
Their
names
were
as
followeth
:
Denzil
Hollis
,
Sir
Philip
Stapleton
,
Sir
William
Lewis
,
Sir
Iohn
Clotworthy
,
Sir
William
Walter
,
Sir
Iohn
Maynard
,
Colonel
Massey
,
Mr.
Glyn
,
Colonel
Long
,
Colonel
Edward
Harley
,
Anthony
Nichols
Esquire
;
all
of
them
active
men
for
Presbytery
,
and
obnoxious
to
their
future
undertakings
,
and
therefore
by
all
means
to
be
removed
.
This
was
sent
up
by
Colonel
Scroop
,
Okey
,
Hewson
,
and
Pride
,
Lieutenant-Colonel
Goff
,
Major
Desborough
,
Colonel
Berry
,
Clark
,
Carter
,
Rolph
,
Saxby
:
to
which
Charge
a
Paper
was
added
,
wherein
they
set
forth
,
That
in
pursuance
of
these
Representations
,
they
have
the
heads
of
the
Charge
ready
,
and
shall
appoint
fit
persons
on
their
and
the
Kingdoms
behalf
to
make
it
good
.
That
if
the
Parliament
shall
admit
this
Charge
,
that
the
persons
impeached
may
be
forthwith
suspended
from
fitting
in
the
House
,
having
appeared
notoriously
to
the
prejudice
and
provocation
of
the
Army
.
That
another
Months
pay
be
sent
down
.
That
if
those
who
deserted
the
Army
,
and
have
engaged
for
Ireland
,
have
received
more
,
that
the
Army
be
equally
paid
,
and
that
such
have
no
more
pay
till
the
Army
are
paid
their
Arrears
.
That
because
of
secret
practices
and
designes
to
raise
new
Forces
,
and
to
bring
back
to
London
those
ordered
for
Ireland
;
That
no
Forces
be
raised
or
invited
back
or
other
Forrein
preparations
to
interrupt
the
Liberty
and
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
.
That
all
this
be
speedily
performed
;
the
condition
of
the
Army
,
the
Kingdom
and
the
King
(
mark
the
order
)
so
requiring
.
This
concerning
no
raising
of
Forces
,
The
Parliament
demur
to
the
suspending
of
their
Members
.
&c.
was
agreed
to
;
but
to
the
suspension
of
the
Eleven
Members
the
Parliament
demur
,
and
answer
,
That
by
law
no
judgment
can
be
given
to
suspend
those
Members
,
before
the
particulars
of
their
Charge
be
produced
,
and
proofs
made
.
Nor
have
those
Members
said
or
done
any
thing
for
which
the
House
can
suspend
them
.
They
forbeare
sitting
of
themselves
.
Nevertheless
not
to
enrage
them
,
the
Members
forbore
of
themselves
;
whereupon
the
Army
drew
off
to
Berkamstead
,
twenty
seven
miles
distant
,
and
so
to
Vxbridge
,
having
marched
the
King
from
Royston
to
Hatfield
,
and
so
to
Causam
neer
Reading
.
To
this
Answer
of
the
Parliament
,
The
Army
quote
th●
Cases
of
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
Arch●B
.
of
Canterbury
and
Ld.
Keeper
Finch
.
the
Army
returned
,
That
by
the
Laws
and
the
precedent
case
of
the
Earl
of
Strafford
,
and
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
(
observe
how
that
blood
is
thrown
or
flyes
in
●he
faces
of
the
Parliament
)
and
the
Lord
keeper
Finch
(
who
upon
Papers
of
accusation
were
suspended
sitting
)
they
might
not
be
permitted
likewise
;
but
are
contented
as
yet
,
because
they
of
themselves
have
forborn
the
House
.
From
Vxbridge
the
Army
marched
to
Wickham
,
in
complyance
with
the
desires
of
the
Parliament
.
See
here
the
Villanous
Artifices
of
this
Independent
faction
,
to
so
neer
an
imitation
of
Machiavel
,
that
they
were
neither
discoverable
nor
resistible
,
cheating
and
overpowring
the
King
,
The
King
and
Parliament
over-aw●d
by
Cromwel
:
his
remarkable
expression
.
the
Parliament
,
the
City
,
nay
the
whole
Kingdom
at
once
:
for
while
all
men
stood
at
gaze
what
would
be
the
event
,
they
had
so
obliged
opportunity
by
their
diligent
attendance
on
her
,
that
they
were
already
in
fruition
of
it
:
for
remarkable
is
that
speech
of
Cromwel
,
who
,
upon
notice
given
him
that
Ioyce
had
the
Kings
person
in
his
possession
,
replyed
,
Then
I
have
the
Parliament
in
my
pocket
;
making
sure
of
his
full
attainment
of
all
his
ambitious
purposes
,
by
this
auspicious
entrance
and
beginning
of
them
.
For
he
dared
now
to
shew
his
teeth
,
and
manifest
that
quarrel
with
the
Presbyterians
,
which
had
festred
inwardly
so
long
;
and
by
widening
the
rupture
,
give
vent
to
that
filthy
matter
enclosed
betwixt
them
:
All
which
cannot
better
be
laid
open
,
than
the
excellent
Pen
of
the
King
hath
done
it
,
in
this
ensuing
Meditation
thereupon
.
WHat
part
God
will
have
me
now
to
act
or
suffer
in
this
new
and
strange
Scene
of
affairs
,
His
Majesties
Meditation
on
the
designes
of
the
several
factions
.
I
am
not
much
sollicitous
;
some
little
practice
will
serve
that
man
,
who
onely
seeks
to
present
a
part
of
honesty
and
honour
.
This
surprize
of
me
tells
the
World
,
That
a
KING
cannot
be
so
low
,
but
he
is
considerable
;
adding
weight
to
that
Party
where
he
appears
.
This
motion
,
like
others
of
the
times
,
seems
excentrick
and
irregular
,
yet
not
well
to
be
resisted
or
quieted
:
Better
swim
down
such
a
stream
,
than
in
vain
to
strive
against
it
.
These
are
but
the
struglings
of
those
Twins
,
which
lately
one
womb
enclosed
,
the
younger
striving
to
prevail
against
the
elder
:
what
the
Presbyterians
have
hunted
after
,
the
Independents
now
seek
to
catch
for
themselves
.
So
impossible
is
it
for
Lines
to
be
drawn
from
the
Center
,
and
not
to
divide
from
each
other
,
so
much
the
wider
,
by
how
much
they
go
farther
from
the
point
of
union
.
That
the
builders
of
Babel
should
from
division
fall
to
confusion
,
is
no
wonder
;
but
for
those
that
pretend
to
build
Jerusalem
,
to
divide
their
tongues
and
hands
,
is
but
an
ill
omen
,
and
sounds
too
like
the
fury
of
those
Zealots
,
whose
intestine
bitterness
and
divisions
were
the
greatest
occasion
of
the
last
fatal
destruction
of
that
City
.
Well
may
I
change
my
Keepers
and
Prison
,
but
not
my
captive
condition
;
onely
with
this
hope
of
bettering
,
that
those
who
are
so
much
professed
Patrons
for
the
Peoples
Liberties
,
cannot
be
utterly
against
the
Liberty
of
their
King
:
what
they
demand
for
their
own
Consciences
,
they
cannot
in
reason
deny
to
mine
.
In
this
they
seem
more
ingenuous
than
the
Presbyterian
Rigour
,
who
,
sometimes
complaining
of
exacting
their
Conformity
to
Laws
,
are
become
the
greatest
Exactors
of
other
mens
submission
to
their
novel
Injunctions
,
before
they
are
stamped
with
the
Authority
of
Laws
,
which
they
cannot
well
have
without
my
consent
.
'T
is
a
great
Argument
that
the
Independents
think
themselves
manumitted
from
their
Rivals
service
,
in
that
they
carry
on
a
business
of
such
consequence
,
as
the
assuming
my
person
into
the
Armies
custody
,
without
any
Commission
,
but
that
of
their
own
will
and
power
.
Such
as
will
thus
adventure
on
a
King
,
must
not
be
thought
over-modest
or
timorous
to
carry
on
any
designe
they
have
a
mind
to
.
Their
next
motion
menaces
and
scares
both
the
two
Houses
and
the
City
;
which
soon
after
acting
over
again
that
former
part
of
tumultuary
motions
,
(
never
questioned
,
punished
,
or
repented
)
must
now
suffer
for
both
;
and
see
their
former
sin
,
in
the
glass
of
the
present
terrours
and
distractions
.
No
man
is
so
blinde
,
as
not
to
see
herein
the
hand
of
Divine
Iustice
;
they
that
by
Tumults
first
occasioned
the
raising
of
Armies
,
must
now
be
chastened
by
their
own
Army
for
new
Tumults
.
So
hardly
can
men
be
content
with
one
sin
,
but
add
sin
to
sin
,
till
the
latter
punish
the
former
.
Such
as
were
content
to
see
me
and
many
Members
of
both
Houses
driven
away
by
the
first
unsuppressed
Tumults
,
are
now
forced
to
flie
to
an
Army
,
to
defend
themselves
against
them
.
But
who
can
unfold
the
Riddle
of
some
mens
justice
?
the
Members
of
both
Houses
who
at
first
withdrew
,
(
as
my self
was
forced
to
do
)
from
the
rudeness
of
the
Tumults
,
were
counted
desertours
,
and
outed
of
their
places
in
Parliament
.
Such
as
stayed
then
,
and
enjoyed
the
benefit
of
the
Tumults
,
were
all
asserted
for
the
onely
Parliament-men
:
now
the
flyers
from
,
and
forsakers
of
their
places
,
carry
the
Parliamentary
Power
along
with
them
,
complain
highly
against
the
Tumults
,
and
vindicate
themselves
by
an
Army
;
such
as
remained
and
kept
their
stations
,
are
looked
upon
as
Abettours
of
Tumultuary
insolencies
,
and
Betrayers
of
the
freedom
and
Honour
of
Parliament
.
They
will
find
that
Brethren
in
iniquity
are
not
far
from
becoming
insolent
Enemies
,
there
being
nothing
harder
,
than
to
keep
ill
men
long
in
one
minde
,
&c.
The
King
,
as
before
,
desired
the
free
enjoyment
of
what
company
exceptionless
he
should
need
,
wherein
in
part
he
had
been
gratified
(
though
to
avoid
offence
the
Duke
of
Richmond
had
withdrawn
himself
:
)
he
thought
fit
therefore
by
a
more
equitable
request
to
desire
the
company
of
his
Children
,
His
Majesty
desires
his
Childrens
company
.
which
the
Parliament
had
denied
;
which
the
General
civilly
undertook
,
in
this
Letter
.
MASTER
SPEAKER
,
I
Was
sent
unto
by
the
King
on
Fryday
last
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
his
Letter
to
the
Parliament
concerning
the
Kings
desire
of
seeing
his
Children
.
to
desire
the
Parliament
to
give
him
way
to
see
his
Children
,
and
that
they
might
for
that
purpose
be
sent
unto
him
.
If
I
may
be
bold
humbly
to
offer
my
opinion
.
I
think
the
allowance
of
such
a
thing
may
be
without
the
least
prejudice
to
the
Kingdom
,
and
y●t
gain
more
upon
his
Majesty
than
by
denying
it
.
And
if
it
be
in
the
Prayers
of
every
good
man
,
that
his
heart
may
be
gained
,
the
performance
of
such
Civilities
to
him
is
very
suitable
to
those
desires
,
and
will
bear
well
with
all
men
▪
who
if
they
can
imagin●
it
their
own
case
,
cannot
but
b●
sorry
if
his
Majesties
natural
affection
in
so
small
a
thing
shall
not
be
complied
with
,
I
engaging
for
their
return
within
what
time
the
Parliament
shall
limit
.
Denies
(
occasion
being
taken
hereby
by
some
)
any
underhand
contract
or
bargain
with
the
King
,
and
assures
them
of
their
Fidelity
to
them
and
the
Kingdom
;
nothing
being
so
likely
to
settle
an
agreement
and
peace
,
as
an
accord
betwixt
them
and
the
Army
,
which
they
shall
study
to
preserve
.
What
is
done
in
reference
to
a
just
consideration
and
settlement
of
the
Kings
Rights
(
he
first
giving
his
Concurrence
to
secure
the
Rights
of
the
Kingdom
)
is
declared
in
our
Remonstrance
,
since
which
several
Addresses
have
been
made
to
him
by
several
Officers
,
to
clear
the
intentions
of
such
Papers
as
the
Representation
and
Remonstrance
,
whereunto
his
Majesty
might
make
any
question
,
but
no
bargain
of
advantage
for
our selves
,
having
thereby
utterly
disclaimed
any
such
thing
:
But
the
onely
intent
and
effect
of
those
Addresses
,
hath
been
to
desire
his
Majesties
free
Concurrence
with
the
Parliament
for
establishing
and
securing
the
Common
Rights
and
Liberties
,
&c.
and
to
assure
him
(
that
being
done
)
that
it
is
fully
agreeable
to
their
principles
,
and
that
they
should
be
desirous
,
that
in
such
setling
of
the
publike
,
the
Rights
of
his
Majesties
Royal
Family
should
be
also
provided
for
.
And
that
as
we
had
declared
,
so
in
general
,
if
things
came
to
a
settlement
,
we
should
not
be
wanting
in
our
Sphere
,
to
own
that
general
desire
in
any
particulars
of
Natural
or
Civil
Rights
to
his
Majesties
Person
or
Family
,
which
might
not
endanger
the
publike
.
And
in
the
mean
time
,
that
his
Majesty
shall
finde
all
personal
respects
and
civilities
,
and
all
reasonable
freedom
from
us
,
that
might
stand
with
safety
,
&c.
And
f●r
that
particular
of
the
Duke
of
Richmond
and
his
two
Chaplains
,
Doctor
Hammond
and
Doctor
Shelden
,
lately
admitted
to
attend
his
Majesty
,
it
was
not
done
without
much
reluctancie
,
because
we
doubted
we
might
therein
be
misunderstood
by
the
Kingdoms
best
friends
.
But
upon
his
Majesties
continual
importunity
,
we
did
allow
him
such
Company
,
of
persons
least
dangerous
,
such
as
we
hoped
would
not
do
ill
offices
,
and
in
whom
his
former
acquaintance
might
cause
him
to
take
pleasure
,
being
both
reasonable
and
just
;
and
the
debarring
of
that
liberty
▪
especially
of
his
Chaplains
,
would
but
make
him
the
more
prejudiced
against
their
Ministers
.
In
general
,
we
humbly
conceive
,
that
to
avoid
all
harshness
,
and
afford
all
kinde
usage
to
his
Majesties
Person
,
in
things
consisting
with
the
peace
and
safety
,
&c.
is
the
most
Christian
,
honourable
and
most
prudent
way
;
and
we
think
that
tender
,
moderate
,
and
equitable
dealing
both
towards
his
Majesty
,
his
Royal
Family
,
and
late
Party
(
so
far
(
again
)
as
may
stand
with
the
safety
,
&c.
)
is
the
most
hopeful
course
to
take
away
the
seeds
of
War
,
future
feuds
amongst
us
for
Posterity
,
and
to
procure
a
lasting
Peace
,
and
settle
Religion
,
&c.
And
if
God
shall
make
us
instrumental
thereto
,
we
shall
thenceforth
account
it
our
greatest
happiness
and
honour
(
if
God
see
it
good
)
to
be
disengaged
from
any
publike
employment
whatsoever
.
This
in
the
name
of
the
Army
,
or
at
least
most
considerable
part
thereof
.
A
Letter
from
the
King
to
the
Duke
of
York
inclosed

In
this
Letter
he
likewise
enclosed
another
from
the
King
to
the
Duke
of
York
,
wherein
he
ordered
him
to
ask
leave
of
the
two
Houses

for
Him
,
his
Brother
,
and
Sister
,
to
come
and
see
Him

if
but
for
a
Dinner-time

acquainting
him
,
that
if
the
Parliament
should
make
any
scruple
for
fear
lest
the
Army
should
d●●ain
them
also
,
that
he
had
assurance
from
the
General
and
other
principal
Officers
(
such
caut●●●
was
then
necessarily
used

for

To
digr●ss
a

to
the
review
of
the
Generals
Letter
,
but
the
p●oduct
of
Iretons
brain
,
who
was
Secretary
all
along
to
these
whidling
and
●●●lacious
Paper-Kites
;
no
less
than
ten
Salvo's
or
Restrictious
to
the
●●●ttlement
of
the
King
:
yea
to
curry
with
him
,
setting
forth
a
necessity
of
〈…〉
his
just
rights
,
and
the
equity
of
their
declaring
for
them
;
still
not
〈◊〉
the
performance
of
the
least
Syllable
they
wr●●●●r
uttered
in
his
behalf
.
They
desire
not
to
be
misunderstood
,
and
it
is
impossible
for
any
man
to
understand
them
aright
,
their
Language
and
Actions
being
so
distanced
:
yet
so
plausible
and
swimmingly
they
carried
it
,
that
no
Party
was
disobliged
save
the
Presbyterian
,
with
whom
upon
any
sl●nder
pretence●
,
they
desired
and
had
offered
to
be
at
open
defiance
.
But
their
conclusion
of
this
Epistle
bewrayed
all
,
and
gave
some
light
to
th●se
designes
in
the
dark
behind
,
in
that
they
so
voluntarily
offered
to
disband
,
and
to
take
it
for
an
honour
to
be
dismist
,
(
tho●gh
with
a
Reserve
of
a
Settlement
)
when
as
a
more
honourable
service
,
and
a
most
Christian
work
,
of
assisting
their
poor
Countrymen
in
Ireland
,
was
with
so
much
indignation
and
mercilesness
upbraided
and
refused
by
them
.
But
of
this
enough
.
The
Armies
designe
upon
the
City
of
London
.
The
Armies
now
thinking
the
King
securely
confident
,
turned
their
designes
upon
the
City
,
which
seeing
they
could
not
separate
from
the
Parliament
,
and
because
the
late
purge
of
the
11
Members
had
not
awed
them
sufficiently
;
(
though
they
had
patiently
enough
put
it
up
,
considering
their
insolence
to
the
King
,
on
his
demand
of
their
Five
Members
)
the
Country
being
lulled
also
by
their
pretences
,
they
by
a
Remonstrance
demand
the
Militia
of
London
to
be
put
into
other
hands
:
which
insolent
bravado
in●●●gated
this
Petition
to
the
Right
Honourable
the
Lord
Mayor
,

of
the
City
of
London

being
stiled

The
humble
Petition
of
the
Citizens

Commanders

Souldiers
,
and
Officers
,
in
the
Regiments
of
Trained-bands
,
and
Auxiliaries

The
Citizens
Petition
the
Lord
Mayor
in
behalf
of
the
King
and
the
Army
.
That
your
Petitioners
taking
into
serious
consideration
,
that
their
Religion
,
his
Majesties
Honour
and
Safety
,
the
Priviledges
of
Parliament
,
and
Liberties
of
the
Subject
,
are
at
present
greatly
endangered
,
and
like
to
be
destroyed
;
and
also
sadly
weighing
with
our selves
what
means
might
likely
prove
the
most
effectual
to
procure
a
firm
and
lasting
Peace
,
without
a
further
effusion
of
Christian
English-blood
:
We
are
therefore
entred
into
a
solemn
Engagement
,
which
is
hereunto
annexed
;
and
do
humbly
desire
,
that
this
whole
City
may
joyn
together
,
by
all
Lawful
and
possible
means
,
as
one
man
,
in
hearty
endeavours
for
his
Majesties
present
coming
up
to
his
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
with
Honour
,
Safety
,
and
Freedom
,
and
that
without
the
approach
of
the
Army
;
there
to
confirm
such
things
as
he
hath
granted
in
his
Message
of
the
12th
of
May
last
[
which
was
his
Answer
to
the
Pr●positions
from
Holdenby
,
not
inserted
,
because
insignificant
to
that
unreasonableness
of
the
Parliament
,
being
loth
to
weary
the
Reader
with
the
Kings
unwearied
desir●s
after
Peace
to
no
purpose
]
in
Answer
to
those
Propositions
of
both
Kingdoms
:
And
that
by
a
personal
Treaty
with
his
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
and
the
Commissioners
of
Scotland
,
such
things
as
are
yet
in
difference
may
be
speedily
settled
,
and
a
firm
and
lasting
Peace
established
.
All
which
we
desire
,
may
be
presented
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
from
this
Honourable
Assembly
.
The
Solemn
Engagement
,
The
solemn
●n●agement
of
the
City
.
so
was
it
called
,
run
thus
:
Whereas
we
have
entred
into
a
Solemn
League
and
Covenant
for
Reformation
and
Defence
of
Religion
,
the
Honour
and
Happiness
of
the
King
,
the
Priviledges
of
Parliament
,
&c.
All
which
we
do
evidently
perceive
not
onely
to
be
endangered
▪
but
ready
to
be
destroyed
;
we
do
therefore
,
in
pursuance
of
our
said
Covenant
,
Oath
of
Allegiance
,
Oath
of
every
Free-man
,
and
Protestations
,
Solemnly
engage
our selves
,
and
Vow
unto
Almighty
God
,
that
we
will
to
the
utmost
of
our
power
ardently
endeavour
,
that
his
Majesty
may
speedily
come
to
his
〈◊〉
Houses
of
Parliament
,
to
the
end
here
specified
.
For
effecting
whereof
,
we
do
protest
,
and
re-oblige
our selves
,
as
in
the
presence
of
God
,
the
searcher
of
all
hearts
with
our
Lives
and
Fortunes
,
to
endeavour
what
in
us
lies
,
to
preserve
and
defend
his
Majesties
Royal
person
and
Authority
,
the
Priviledges
,
&c.
and
the
Cities
of
London
and
Westminst●r
,
and
Lines
of
Communication
,
and
all
other
that
shall
adhere
to
us
in
the
said
Engagement
.
Nor
shall
we
by
any
means
admit
suffer
,
or
endure
any
kind
of
Neutrality
in
this
common
Cause
of
God
,
the
King
,
and
Kingd●m
,
as
we
do
expect
the
blessing
of
God
,
whose
help
we
crave
,
and
wholly
devolve
our selves
upon
,
in
this
our
undertaking
.
This
was
the
honestest
,
and
most
genuine
aspect
,
as
to
the
fair
pretences
of
the
Covenant
,
Presbyter●
ever
appeared
in
;
here
being
some
realities
of
those
many
semblances
that
Party
had
made
before
,
and
shewed
that
there
was
a
sober
misled
number
,
and
that
for
the
major
part
too
,
who
were
onely
Church-dissenters
,
hurt
onely
in
their
opinions
,
not
festered
or
corrupted
in
their
affections
to
the
State
,
the
Kings
Person
and
Government
.
For
they
prosecuted
this
Confederacy
so
vigorously
,
(
and
with
all
manner
of
diligence
,
openly
averring
the
justice
and
equity
of
his
Majesties
offers
,
listing
and
encouraging
all
men
to
a
present
undertaking
of
his
quarrel
,
of
which
more
particularly
by
and
by
)
that
the
Ind●pendents
perceiving
the
sudden
dangerous
consequence
thereof
,
they
prevailed
upon
the
Houses
in
a
Vote
,
(
which
they
wire-drawed
by
arguments
of
the
indignity
and
affront
,
and
breaches
of
Priviledge
of
Parliament
,
by
such
illegal
and
Tumultuous
Combinations
)
and
got
it
digested
in
a
Declaration
,
●orbidding
all
subscriptions
to
the
said
Engagement
.
See
it

Saturday
14
Iuly
1647.
The
Lords
and
Commons
having
seen
a
printed
Paper
entituled
,
A
Declaration
of
the
Lords
and
Commons
,
forbidding
subscriptions
to
the
Engagement
.
A
Petition
to
the
Right
Honourable
the
Lord
Mayor
,
&c.
and
the
names
of
divers
Citizens
,
&c.
together
with
a
dangerous
Engagement
of
the
same
persons
by
Oath
and
Vow
,
concerning
the
Kings
present
coming
to
the
Parliament
,
upon
terms
far
different
from
those
which
both
Houses
,
after
mature
deliberation
,
have
declared
to
be
necessary
for
the
good
and
safety
of
the
Kingdom
;
casting
reflexions
upon
the
proceedings
both
of
the
Parliament
and
Army
and
●●nding
to
embroil
the
Kingdom
in
a
new
War
:
And
the
Lords
and
Commons
taking
notice
of
great
endeavours
used
by
divers
ill-affected
persons
to
get
subscriptions
thereunto
,
whereby
well-meaning
people
may
be
misled
;
do
therefore
declare
,
That
whosoever
after
publication
,
or
notice
hereof
,
shall
proceed
with
,
or
promote
,
or
set
his
name
to
,
or
give
consent
that
his
name
be
set
to
,
or
any
way
joyn
in
the
said
Engagement
,
shall
be
deemed
and
adjudged
guilty
of
high
Treason
,
and
shall
forfeit
Life
and
Estate
,
as
in
cases
of
high
Treason
accustomed
.
Mark
how
eagerly
they
fall
upon
men
,
the
very
same
persons
,
credibly
,
whom
at
first
they
had
put
upon
the
very
same
course
to
commence
our
Confusions
▪
that
is
now
by
their
Authority
high
Treason
,
which
by
their
Lawless
perswasions
,
then
,
was
but
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
the
birth-right
of
English
Free-men
.
A
good
caution
for
the
Vulgar
,
and
for
such
Democraticks
also
,
how
they
imbibe
,
or
how
they
instil
such
dangerous
and
leud
suggestions
not
warranted
by
Law
,
which
every
unhappy
emergency
or
displeasing
event
may
retort
upon
their
own
heads
;
as
was
most
apparent
in
the
ensuing
Tumults
,
which
the
King
excellently
observes
as
a
just
judgement
of
God
upon
the
Authors
and
Actors
of
the
like
violences
and
insolences
against
himself
in
the
beginning
of
our
Troubles
.
But
the
City
of
London
were
not
so
scared
with
this
Ordinance
,
as
they
thought
they
would
be
;
the
cause
of
their
discontent
not
onely
not
ceasing
,
but
being
more
exasperated
,
by
a
justification
of
the
injuries
they
were
resolved
to
redress
;
they
continued
their
Subscriptions
;
and
while
the
Army
was
yet
at
some
distance
,
and
abundance
of
cashiered
Officers
,
(
the
Presbyterian
party
in
Parliament
being
some
time
before
surprized
in
a
Vote
,
whereby
all
Officers
and
Souldiers
not
of
General
Fairfax's
Army
were
disbanded
from
their
Commands
)
and
old
Reformado●s
of
the
Earl
of
Essex's
now
in
the
Town
,
to
attempt
the
execution
of
what
they
had
so
publikely
declared
.
The
rashness
and
precipetancy
of
the
City
.
A
great
and
fatal
over-sight
,
in
lying
so
open
to
so
subtle
and
cunnig
an
Enemy
,
whom
they
needed
not
to
have
valued
,
if
by
equal
and
considerate
progressions
,
they
had
silently
advanced
their
enterprize
,
not
precipitated
it
with
noise
,
and
presumptuous
ostentation
.
For
the
City
was
furnished
with
men
,
both
Souldiers
and
Officers
,
as
expert
,
daring
,
and
ready
for
such
a
piece
of
Service
,
as
they
could
have
desired
.
In
some
,
their
recent
animosities
for
those
cheats
put
upon
them
by
taking
away
their
Commissions
,
in
recompence
of
their
good
service
:
In
others
,
a
true
and
rectified
sense
of
what
they
had
done
amiss
against
the
King
:
In
others
,
and
the
most
indifferent
,
the
very
Employment
it self
,
which
was
sure
to
be
gainful
,
by
the
certainty
of
Pay
.
But
before
they
could
be
formed
,
or
the
designe
digested
into
that
formidable
appearance
which
the
other
Faction
jealously
dreaded
,
the
Plot
was
spoiled
by
a
Tumul●uous
Rabble
,
who
on
the
26
of
Iuly
,
(
a
Petition
being
delivered
that
morning
to
the
Parliament
for
the
settlement
of
the
Militia
,
The
Pre●tices
and
R●●●le
Tumult
the
Parliament-House
.
as
of
the
4
of
May
by
that
Committee
of
Citizens
)
ran
down
to
Westminster
,
and
forced
the
House
of
Commons
to
comply
with
their
Commands
,
the
Lords
having
granted
that
Petition
before
.
For
on
the
26
of
Iuly
,
the
Parliament
had
made
an
Ordinance
whereby
the
Militia
of
London
was
changed
,
and
put
into
the
hands
of
a
mixt
number
of
Presbyterians
and
Independents
,
but
where
the
latter
were
most
prevalent
;
reversing
thereby
their
Ordinance
of
the
fourth
of
May
,
which
had
vested
it
in
the
Lord
Mayor
,
&c.
for
that
year
.
From
disgust
of
this
change
,
the
occasion
of
this
Riot
was
taken
;
first
therefore
,
the
Speaker
thinking
to
leave
the
Chair
,
and
depart
at
the
noise
of
their
coming
,
●a
man
of
a
covetous
mind
,
who
being
in
fear
of
being
questioned
for
several
sums
of
money
purloined
from
the
Publike
,
and
wisely
foreseeing
the
Army
would
have
the
better
of
it
,
stuck
to
that
Party
(
though
he
had
also
held
intelligence
with
the
King
formerly
)
firmly
for
the
future
)
was
seized
on
by
them
,
forced
to
return
to
his
Chair
,
and
there
,
with
the
like
comp●lsion
of
th●
rest
of
the
Members
,
to
Unvote
that
Ordinance
for
the
change
of
the
Militia
,
which
now
stood
entrusted
in
the
said
hands
before
,
as
if
that
Ordinance
had
never
been
.
Next
they
obtained
another
Vote
,
whereby
that
Declaration
against
abetting
,
carrying
on
,
or
subscribing
to
the
said
Engagement
,
under
penalty
of
high
Treason
,
was
annihilated
.
Yet
not
content
with
this
,
(
which
had
not
done
any
great
mischief
,
and
seemed
another
matter
,
no
way
relating
to
the
King
,
whose
interest
was
to
be
carryed
on
by
the
said
sp●cious
sh●●●s
,
though
honested
otherwise
than
those
of
the
Army
,
with
whom
the
counterparts
of
the
said
deceits
were
to
be
practised
,
and
their
juggles
colluded
)
a
madder
crew
of
the
said
multitude
,
just
as
the
House
was
risen
,
and
after
the
Speaker
had
adjourned
it
,
did
constrain
them
back
again
,
and
both
Lords
and
Commons
to
Vote
this
Resolve
;
That
his
Majesty
shall
come
to
London
forthwith
to
Treat
.
To
the
sollicitation
and
forcing
whereof
,
it
was
more
than
suspected
,
that
the
multitude
was
instigated
by
the
Fanaticks
,
who
had
mixt
and
dispersed
themselves
among
them
for
that
purpose
;
it
being
clearly
besides
the
first
intention
of
that
Tumult
;
which
nevertheless
yet
ceased
not
,
till
the
Sheriffs
with
what
force
they
could
get
together
(
the
Militia
then
unsetled
,
through
the
contradicting
Order
of
Parliament
)
pacified
them
,
and
brought
the
Speaker
home
in
safety
.
The
Lords
,
who
had
been
more
ready
to
this
complyance
with
the
City
,
especially
as
to
the
Militia
,
it
being
its
custom
all
along
before
the
said
alteration
,
to
name
their
Commissioners
for
the
Parliaments
approbation
;
and
because
they
smelt
the
Armies
designe
in
it
,
(
whose
partakers
in
the
House
of
Commons
said
,
that
otherwise
there
was
no
stopping
them
from
coming
to
London
,
which
they
had
hitherto
in
duty
forborn
,
and
greatly
magnified
as
their
respectful
observance
of
the
Parliaments
Commands
)
adjourned
from
the
26
,
to
the
30
of
Iuly
,
the
Commons
to
the
next
day
the
27.
where
they
sate
quietly
,
and
adjourned
to
the
said
time
with
the
Lords
.
And
the
next
day
being
Wednesday
,
the
Monthly
Fast
,
they
observed
it
at
their
usual
Churches
of
St.
Peters
Abb●y
,
and
St.
Margarets
Westminster
.
On
Friday
many
of
both
Houses
met
accordingly
,
The
Parl.
〈…〉
Speak●rs
.
where
of
the
Commons
appeared
140.
but
the
Speaker
was
missing
,
The
former
Speaker
to
the
Commons
m●naced
by
Cromwel
.
Both
the
old
Speakers
go
to
the
Army
.
and
the
House
after
some
inquiry
was
informed
that
he
was
gone
to
the
Army
,
fetcht
thither
it
seems
by
this
menace
from
Cromwel
,
That
if
he
did
not
comply
with
their
designes
,
he
would
cause
the
Army
to
impeach
him
,
for
cozening
the
State
of
many
vast
sums
of
money
.
The
Earl
of
Manchester
,
Speaker
likewise
to
the
House
of
Lords
,
was
gone
the
same
way
:
Both
Houses
thereupon
,
without
more
hesitation
,
chuse
two
new
Speakers
,
which
were
the
Lord
Grey
of
Wark
for
the
Lords
,
The
Lord
Grey
of
Wark
ch●●en
Speaker
to
the
Lords
,
Mr.
Hen.
Pelham
Speaker
for
the
Commons
.
and
Mr.
Henry
Pelham
for
the
Commons
,
who
wanted
40
of
their
number
that
were
Army-driven
;
and
then
proceeded
to
Vote
,
and
Act
as
a
Parliament
.
The
first
thing
they
did
as
such
,
and
as
became
English-men
,
was
to
Vote
the
re-admission
of
the
11
Members
who
had
subducted
themselves
;
and
then
they
revived
and
set
up
again
the
Committee
of
Safety
,
The
Parl.
Vote
the
re-admission
of
the
11
Membe●s
.
by
Ordinance
of
both
Houses
,
enabling
them
to
joyn
with
the
Committee
of
the
restored
Militia
of
London
;
giving
them
power
to
List
and
raise
Forces
,
to
appoint
Commanders
and
Officers
,
and
to
Issue
forth
Arms
and
Ammunition
,
The
Committee
of
Safety
set
up
.
for
defence
of
both
Houses
and
the
City
,
against
all
that
should
invade
them
.
This
would
clearly
have
done
the
business
,
Tumults
in
London
about
listing
of
Forces
.
had
not
their
openness
before
,
layd
the
rubs
and
obstacles
in
the
way
,
which
so
much
time
of
preparation
against
it
had
contrived
.
For
while
the
City
was
in
a
great
division
by
the
sticklers
of
Independency
,
yet
carrying
on
their
levies
,
having
appointed
Major-General
Massey
and
Poyntz
to
Command
in
chief
the
Forces
so
to
be
raised
,
who
were
listed
at
Guild-hall
;
several
multitudes
of
Fanaticks
broke
in
,
and
disturbed
the
Court
of
War
,
to
so
great
an
affront
,
that
the
two
Major-Generals
were
forced
to
draw
their
Swords
,
and
wound
some
of
those
Tumultuaries
,
before
they
could
be
quiet
;
and
were
scarce
returned
to
their
seats
before
they
had
notice
of
the
approach
of
the
Army
,
who
in
scorn
of
the
Parliaments
Commands
of
keeping
at
30
miles
distance
,
The
Army
approach
within
10
miles
of
London
.
were
approached
to
10
,
and
had
appointed
a
Rendezvouz
on
Hounsloe-heath
.
This
Alarm
begot
strange
and
different
passions
in
the
Citizens
:
the
wealthier
sort
began
to
flinch
from
those
resolutions
of
adhering
to
their
Engagement
,
to
save
their
bags
;
nothing
being
more
vogued
among
the
people
,
than
that
the
City
would
be
plundered
▪
as
it
was
given
out
by
some
of
the
Grandees
of
the
Army
:
but
the
Milita●●●●en
,
and
those
of
meaner
fortunes
,
seemed
to
take
courage
from
the
nearness
of
the
danger
,
offering
to
meet
it
;
and
if
the
pusillanimity
of
the
Court
of
Aldermen
had
not
hindred
,
Massey
would
have
given
the
Army
,
then
quartering
(
part
of
it
)
on
this
side
Braynford
,
a
salute
or
Camisado
,
by
that
means
to
make
Rupture
wide
,
and
past
the
cure
of
a
reconciliation
.
Nevertheless
the
defensive
part
,
from
their
own
concerns
,
they
undertook
,
guarding
the
Works
and
Fortifications
round
the
City
,
quartering
several
reserves
in
whole
Regiments
in
the
fields
,
more
particularly
those
parts
nearest
the
Army
,
out
of
dread
of
another
Wat
Tyler
,
or
Iack
Cade
with
his
Rebel-rout
,
(
a
judgement
this
famous
City
hath
been
more
subject
to
than
any
City
in
the
World
,
most
of
which
have
often
suffered
by
their
own
intestine
divisions
)
but
were
in
fine
glad
to
seek
Peace
,
(
betrayed
at
their
own
doors
by
one
Hardwick
,
Colonel
of
the
Southwark
Regiment
,
and
who
then
guarded
the
Works
on
that
side
,
which
were
opened
to
Colonel
Hewsin
;
)
by
their
Commissioners
Fouk
,
Gibs
,
and
Estwick
,
(
acceptable
men
to
the
Army
,
for
they
durst
not
for
fear
of
a
dismission
re
infecta
send
others
)
then
attending
the
General
at
Hounsloe
.
The
King
hears
this
,
and
to
avoid
the
Scandal
of
these
Uproars
,
which
he
in
prudence
did
see
primarily
concern
others

they

this
Paper

The

of

THere
having
been
many
Rumours
spread
,
and
Informations
given
,
which
may
have
induced
many
to
believe
,
that
We
intend
to
make
War
against
Our
Parliament
;
We
profess
before
God
,
and
declare
to
all
the
World
,
That
We
always
have
,
and
do
abhor
all
such
designes
;
and
desire
all
our
Nobility
and
Commoners
who
are
here
upon
the
place
,
to
declare
whether
they
have
not
been
witnesses
of
as
frequent
and
earnest
Declarations
and
Professions
to
this
purpose
,
whether
they
see
any
colour
of
pr●parations
and
Counsels
that
might
reasonably
beget
a
belief
of
any
such
designe
,
and
whether
they
be
not
fully
perswaded
that
We
have
no
such
intention
,
but
that
all
Our
endeavours
(
according
to
Our
many
Professions
)
tend
to
the
firm
and
constant
Settlement
of
the
true
Protestant
Religion
,
the
just
Priviledges
of
Parliament
,
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
the
Law
,
Peace
,
and
Prosperity
of
this
Kingdom
.
He
as
a
Neuter
attends
the
Issue
of
Divine
Providence
.
This
even
course
of
the
Kings
,
and
constancy
to
himself
so
well
known
to
the
Army
,
made
them
speak
less
to
the
Kings
prejudice
in
the
altercation
about
the
priviledges
of
Parliament
,
of
which
they
now
(
forsooth
)
were
the
main
assertors
;
so
that
the
King
,
as
he
got
nothing
,
lost
as
little
by
this
brangle
between
both
Parties
,
neither
of
them
having
whereon
to
fasten
any
cavil
on
the
King
in
this
matter
,
who
without
medling
with
their
differences
,
further
than
his
own
private
descants
upon
them
,
awaited
the
Issue
of
Divine
Providence
.
〈◊〉
Fugitive
Members
sit
in
Council
with
the
Army
.
The
Army
therefore
,
the
better
to
proceed
and
countenance
their
Rebellion
,
His
Majesty
and
Parliament
being
made
a
meer
Cypher
,
invite
and
engage
the
two
Speakers
and
Fugitive
Members
,
to
sit
in
consultation
,
and
pass
Votes
promiscuously
with
the
Council
of
War
in
the
nature
of
a
Parliament
;
and
to
Signe
an
Engagement
,
dated
the
4
of
August
,
to
live
and
dye
with
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
and
the
Parliament
and
Army
,
both
under
his
Command
;
affirming
therein
,
that
generally
throughout
,
their
sense
agrees
with
the
Declaration
of
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
and
his
Council
of
War
,
The
Armies
Declaration
.
which
shewed
the
grounds
of
their
present
advance
towards
the
City
of
London
.
In
this
Declaration
the
Council
of
the
Army
took
upon
them
also
to
be
the
Supream
Judges
of
the
Parliament
,
discriminating
whom
of
the
two
Houses
they
held
for
persons
in
whom
the
publike
trust
of
the
King
remained
,
and
by
whose
advice
they
meant
to
govern
themselves
in
managing
the
weighty
affairs
of
the
Kingdom
.
They
highly
resent
the
late
choice
of
a
new
Speaker
by
those
Gentlem●n
at
Westminster
,
and
say
,
that
as
things
now
stand
,
there
is
no
free
nor
legal
Parliament
sitting
,
such
being
through
the
violence
of
the
26
of
Iuly
suspended
.
That
the
Orders
and
Votes
,
&c.
passed
the
29
of
Iuly
last
,
and
all
such
as
shall
pass
in
this
Assembly
of
Lords
and
Gentlemen
at
Westminster
,
are
void
and
null
,
and
ought
not
to
be
submitted
unto
.
This
Remonstrance
was
the
second
to
a
Letter
to
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Court
of
Aldermen
,
upbraiding
them
with
the
late
Tumult
,
as
Enemies
to
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
Treacherous
to
the
Parliament
,
and
uitable
to
secure
that
,
or
themselves
;
and
therefore
demanding
the
City
to
be
put
into
their
hands
,
to
which
purpose
they
were
then
on
their
way
.
And
to
brave
the
City
to
a
surrender
,
their
General
sends
out
Warrants
to
raise
the
Trained-Bands
of
the
near
Counties
to
march
with
him
against
the
City
and
both
Houses
,
Fairfax
sends
warrants
for
the
Trained-Bands
to
march
against
the
City
.
although
such
Bands
were
not
under
pay
of
the
Parliament
,
and
so
not
under
any
Command
of
the
General
by
any
Order
or
Ordinance
.
But
armed
violence
was
not
to
be
stopt
with
Lawyers
niceties
.
A
Bumkin
in
a
Leather-doublet
,
must
be
a
Red-coat
;
by
the
same
rule
,
that
Foxes
have
Horns
.
This
brought
the
City
to
the
expected
submission
,
The
City
submits
,
on
dishonourable
Conditions
.
by
which
they
obtained
(
and
thank
you
too
)
these
most
dishonourable
Conditions
:
That
they
should
yield
to
desert
the
Impeached
Members
,
call
in
their
Declaration
newly
published
,
relinquish
their
Militia
,
deliver
up
all
their
Forts
and
Line
of
Communication
to
the
Army
,
together
with
the
Tower
of
London
,
(
which
they
had
so
clamorously
and
impudently
extorted
out
of
the
Kings
disposal
)
and
all
the
Magazines
and
Arms
therein
;
disband
all
their
Forces
,
and
turn
all
the
Reformadoes
out
of
the
Line
;
withdraw
ail
their
guards
from
the
Parliament
,
and
receive
such
guards
of
Horse
and
Foot
within
the
Line
,
as
the
Army
should
appoint
to
guard
them
;
demolish
their
Works
,
and
suffer
the
whole
Army
to
ma●ch
through
their
City
:
all
which
were
suddenly
and
dishonourably
yielded
to
,
and
insolently
executed
;
the
Souldiers
marching
in
Triumph
,
with
Bays
in
their
Hats
,
through
all
the
principal
streets
of
the
City
,
boasting
of
their
civil
march
as
a
great
courtesy
,
when
there
was
men
enough
,
if
they
had
offered
to
Plunder
,
to
have
●aten
them
.
This
envious
disdainful
Triumph
being
over
,
The
Fugitive
Members
reseated
Aug.
6.
and
the
former
Speakers
placed
by
the
General
.
the
next
work
was
to
reseat
the
Fugitive
Members
,
whom
the
General
himself
brought
to
both
Houses
with
a
strong
party
,
(
the
two
Palaces
filled
with
Souldiers
,
and
double
Files
clean
through
Westminster-hall
up
to
the
stairs
of
the
House
of
Common
,
and
so
through
the
Court
of
Requests
to
the
Lords
House
;
the
Souldiers
looking
scornfully
upon
many
of
these
Members
(
as
they
were
instructed
to
know
them
)
that
had
sate
in
the
absence
of
the
Speakers
)
and
seated
the
Speakers
respectively
in
their
Chairs
,
and
was
by
them
,
in
return
,
placed
in
a
Chair
of
State
,
where
they
gave
him
special
thanks
for
his
service
to
the
Parliament
;
The
Parl.
appoint
a
day
of
Thanksgiving
for
their
re●settlement
.
and
likewise
appointed
,
to
signalize
his
desert
,
a
solemn
day
of
Thanksgiving
for
the
re-settlement
of
the
Parliament
,
their
usual
prophane
and
impious
practice
of
mocking
God
:
to
which
they
now
added
the
abuse
of
the
Creature
,
at
a
Dinner
provided
for
the
Parliament
and
chief
Officers
of
the
Army
by
the
City
;
The
Army
feas●ed
by
the
City
.
at
whose
costs
they
s●r●eited
,
while
the
Poor
thereof
starved
through
want
of
Trade
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
made
Generalissimo
and
Constable
of
the
Tower
.
which
decayed
sensibly
in
a
short
time
;
no
Bullion
likewise
being
afterwards
brought
to
the
Mint
.
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
was
now
likewise
constituted
Generalissimo
(
so
sudden
their
favour
,
and
so
great
their
confidence
)
of
all
the
Forces
and
Forts
in
England
,
to
dispose
of
them
at
his
pleasure
;
The
Souldiers
ordered
a
months
gratuity
.
and
Constable
of
the
Tower
of
London
.
The
Common
Souldiers
were
likewise
ordered
a
Months
gratuity
,
and
the
General
remitted
to
his
own
discretion
,
for
what
Guards
he
should
please
to
set
upon
both
Houses
;
in
such
a
servile
fear
were
those
Members
that
sate
in
the
absence
of
the
Speakers
,
that
they
durst
not
dissent
from
any
thing
propounded
by
the
contrary
Faction
.
The
effect
of
this
was
,
that
the
Independents
displaced
immediately
all
Governours
,
though
placed
by
Ordinance
of
Parliament
,
and
put
in
men
of
their
own
party
,
which
they
could
not
so
currantly
do
before
;
and
by
vertue
of
the
same
,
the
Militia's
of
London
,
Westminster
,
and
Southwark
,
from
whence
was
their
sole
danger
,
which
were
all
united
before
,
were
now
divided
,
to
make
them
the
weaker
;
the
Lines
of
Communication
dismantled
,
that
the
Parliament
and
City
mightly
open
to
any
sudden
invasion
,
that
so
they
might
have
a
perpetual
and
easie
awe
upon
their
Counsels
and
actions

The
Eleven
Impeached
Members
,
before
mentioned
,
who
had
superseded
themselves
,
and
were
newly
re-admitted
,
(
the
Army
not
being
able
to
produce
their
Charge
,
upon
pretence
of
more
weighty
affairs
)
now
altogether
withdrew
,
and
had
Passes
,
(
though
some
staid
in
London
)
some
for
beyond
Sea
,
and
other
for
their
homes
;
in
the
way
whither
,
one
of
them
(
Mr.
Nichols
)
was
seized
on
,
and
basely
abused
by
Cromwel
:
another
,
Sir
Philip
Stapleton
,
one
who
had
done
them
very
good
service
,
passed
over
to
Calice
,
where
falling
sick
,
as
suspected
,
of
the
Plauge
,
he
was
turned
out
of
the
Town
,
and
perished
in
the
way
near
to
Graveling
;
whose
end
was
inhumanely
commented
on
by
our
Mamaluke
like
Saints
,
who
inscribed
it
to
the
Divine
Vengeance
.
All

〈◊〉
of

Having
thus
Levelled
all
things
before
them
,
they
proceed
to
an
abrogation
of
all
those
Votes
,
Orders
,
and
Ordinances
,
that
had
passed
in
the
absence
of
the
said
Speakers
.
This
was
first
carried
in
the
Lords
House
without
any
trouble
;
the
Peers
that
sate
there
that
time
absenting
themselves
,
so
that
there
was
not
more
than
seven
Lords
to
make
up
their
House
.
By
these
an
Ordinance
was
sent
to
the
Commons
for
their
concurrence
,
to
make
all
Acts
,
Orders
and
Ordinances
passed
from
the
26
of
Iuly
to
the
sixth
of
August
following
,
when
the
Members
did
return
,
Void
and
Null
,
ab
initio
.
This
was
five
or
six
days
severally
and
fully
debated
,
and
as
often
put
to
the
question
,
and
carried
in
the
Negative
;
yet
the
Lords
still
renewed
the
same
Message
to
them
,
being
prompted
and
instigated
by
the
Army
,
rejecting
their
Votes
,
nor
would
acquiesce
,
but
put
them
to
Vote
again
,
contrary
to
the
priviledge
of
the
House
of
Commons
;
nor
could
it
pass
,
for
all
the
threats
of
the
Sollicitour-General
Saint
Iohn

mancipated

the

nor
the
fury
of
Hazelrigg
,
when
he
used
these
words
—
Some
Heads
must
fly
off
,
and
he
feared
the
Parliament
of
England
would
not
save
the
Kingdom
of
England
,
but
that
they
must
look
another
way
for
safety

Thomas
Scot

Cornelius

Gourdon
,
Sir
Iohn
Evelin
junior
,
and
Henry

,
(
all
Regicides
,
and
Contrivers
of
it
)
until
the
Speaker
perceiving
some
plain
apparent
enforcements
must
be
used
,
pulled
a
Letter
out
of
his
pocket
from
the
General
and
General
Council
of
the
Army
,
(
for
that
was
now
their
stile●
)
pretending
he
then
received
it
;
which
soon
terrified
the
Members
,
(
either
by
withdrawing
themselves
,
or
sitting
mute
,
as
if
they
had
been
Planet-struck
)
into
a
compliance
;
so
that
the
next
morning
,
August
the
20.
in
a
thin
House
,
the
Ordinance
passed
;
the
procuring
thereof
being
palpably
and
notoriously
forced
and
Arbitrary
.
This
Letter
to
the
Speaker
,
was
received
by
him
over-night
,
as
was
conceived
,
The
Ordinance
of
Null
and
Void
,
passed
August
20.
with
directions
to
conceal
it
,
if
the
Question
had
passed
in
the
Affirmative
:
But
that
not
fadging
,
it
was
was
produced
in
the
nick
,
accompanied
with
a
Remonstrance
full
of
villanous
language
against
those
that
continued
sitting
while
the
two
Speakers
were
with
the
Army
,
calling
them
pretended
Members
,
and
taxing
them
in
General
with
Treason
,
Treachery
,
and
Breach
of
Trust
;
declaring
,
that
if
they
shall
presume
to
come
there
,
before
they
have
cleared
themselves
that
they
did
not
give
their
assents
to
such
and
such
Votes
,
they
should
sit
at
their
Peril
,
and
he
would
take
them
as
Prisoners
of
War
,
and
try
them
at
a
Council
of
War
.
Having
thus
invalidated
or
annihilated
those
Laws
,
the
Law-makers
could
not
think
to
escape
untouched
:
〈…〉
Citizens
of
London
,
impeache●
and
com●●●t●d
.
The
impeachment
〈◊〉
by
Sir
John
Evelin
junior
and
Miles
Corbet
.
Iudgement
began
with
the
House
of
Lords
,
whose
degenerate
remnant
,
upon
an
Impeachment
(
carried
up
by
Sir
Iohn
Evelin
the
younger
)
of
High
Treason
in
the
name
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
for
their
levying
War
against
the
King
,
Parliament
,
and
Kingdom
,
committed
the
Earls
of
Suffolk
,
Lincoln
,
and
Middlesex
,
the
Lords
Berkley
,
Willoughby
of
Parham
,
Hunsdon
,
and
Maynard
,
to
the
Black
Rod.
Then
divers
of
the
House
of
Commons
were
suspended
,
as
Mr.
Boynton
;
others
committed
to
the
Tower
,
as
Recorder
Glyn
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Maynard
:
but
the
wrath
of
the
Army
●ell
principally
on
the
Citizens
,
the
chief
of
whom
were
,
viz.
the
Lod
Mayor
Sir
Iohn
Gayre
,
Alderman
Adams
,
Alderman
Langham
,
Alderman
Bunch
,
and
Sheriff
Culham
,
with
others
;
these
without
any
more
ado
than
an
Impeachment
preferred
against
them
by
Miles
Corbet
,
one
of
the
Regicides
,
and
Chair-man
to
the
Close-Committee
of
Examinations
to
the
House
of
Lords
,
were
(
never
being
called
to
any
Bar
)
sent
Prisoners
to
the
Tower
of
London
,
where
they
lay
a
long
time
,
and
could
never
obtain
a
Trial
;
but
at
last
sued
out
a
precious
and
precarious
liberty
:
Poyntz
and
Massey
〈◊〉
to
Holland
.
so
that
by
this
means
the
Spirit
of
Presbytery
was
quite
daunted
,
and
the
Independent
Faction
absolutely
ruled
the
roast
,
and
were
paramount
:
Poyntz
and
Massey
fled
over
to
Holland
,
and
so
escaped
.
Having
concluded
this
Contrast
or
Feud
betwixt
them
,
we
will
see
with
what
aspect
they
regard
their
Soveraign
,
upon
whom
,
having
worried
one
another
in
this
despiteful
manner
,
they
fly
as
freely
,
as
if
there
had
been
no
such
quarrel
.
His
Majesty
after
several
removes
by
direction
of
the
Council
of
Officers
,
The
King
brought
to
Hampton
-
Court
:
Commissioners
sent
to
him
from
the
Parliament
with
Propositions
.
was
brought
to
Hampton-Court
,
whither
,
on
the
7
of
September
,
the
Houses
having
hammered
out
the
same
substance
of
the
former
Propositions
,
into
a
new
but
stranger
shape
,
sent
Commissioners
,
to
whom
were
joyned
some
Scots
in
the
like
quality
from
that
Kingdom
.
The
names
of
both
were
as
followeth
;
the
Earls
of
Pembroke

Lauderdale
,
Sir

Sir
Charles

The
preface
to
which
Propositions
(
omitting
themselves
,
as
recited
before
)
was
this
.
May
it
please
your
Majesty
,
The
Preface
thereunto
.
We
the
Lords
and
Commons
Assembled
in
the
Parliament
of
England
,
in
the
name
and
in
the
behalf
of
the
Kingdoms
of
England
and
Ireland
,
and
the
Commissioners
of
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
,
&c.
Do
humbly
present
unto
your
Majesty
the
humble
Desires
and
Propositions
for
a
safe
and
well-grounded
Peace
,
agreed
upon
by
the
Parliaments
of
both
Kingdoms
respectively
;
unto
which
we
pray
your
Majesties
Assent
,
and
that
they
,
and
all
such
Bills
as
shall
be
tendred
to
your
Majesty
in
pursuance
of
them
,
or
of
any
of
them
,
may
be
Established
and
Enacted
for
Statutes
,
and
Acts
of
Parliament
,
by
your
Majesties
Royal
Assent
,
in
the
Parliaments
of
both
Kingdoms
respectively
.
—
And
never
a
good
word
after
.
To
these
,
his
Majesty
,
being
accustomed
to
the
unreasonableness
of
the
men
,
in
two
days
returns
this
Answer
.
For
the
SPEAKER
of
the
House
of
Lords
,
&c.
C.
R.
HIs
Majesty
cannot
chuse
but
be
passionately
sensible
(
as
he
believes
all
his
good
Subjects
are
)
of
the
late
great
distractions
,
His
Majesties
Answer
to
them
,
Sept.
9.
and
still
languishing
,
and
unsetled
state
of
this
Kingdom
:
And
he
calls
God
to
witness
,
and
is
willing
to
give
Testimony
to
all
the
World
,
of
his
readiness
to
contribute
his
utmost
endeavours
,
for
restoring
it
to
a
happy
and
flourishing
condition
.
His
Majesty
having
perused
the
Propositions
now
brought
to
him
,
finds
them
the
same
in
effect
which
were
offered
to
him
at
Newcastle
:
Those
Prop●si●ti●●s
〈…〉
with
〈…〉
a
Newcastle
.
To
some
of
which
,
as
he
could
not
then
consent
,
without
violation
of
his
Honour
and
Conscience
,
so
neither
can
he
agree
to
others
now
concerning
them
,
in
many
respects
more
disagreeable
to
the
present
condition
of
his
Majesty
,
than
when
they
were
formerly
presented
to
him
,
as
being
destructive
to
the
main
principal
interests
of
the
Army
,
and
of
all
those
whose
affections
concur
with
them
.
And
his
Majesty
having
seen
the
Proposals
of
the
Army
,
to
the
Commi●sioners
from
his
two
Houses
residing
with
them
,
therewith
then
to
be
Treated
on
,
in
order
to
the
clearing
and
securing
the
Rights
and
Liberties
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
settling
of
a
just
and
lasting
Peace
,
to
which
Proposals
,
as
he
conceives
his
two
Houses
are
not
strangers
,
so
he
believes
they
will
think
with
him
,
that
they
much
more
conduce
to
the
satisfaction
of
all
interests
;
and
may
be
a
fitter
Foundation
for
a
lasting
Peace
,
than
the
Propositions
which
at
this
time
are
tendered
unto
him
:
He
therefore
Propounds
(
as
the
best
way
in
his
judgement
in
order
to
Peace
,
)
that
his
two
Houses
would
instantly
take
into
consideration
those
Proposals
,
upon
which
there
may
be
a
personal
Treaty
with
his
Majesty
,
and
upon
such
other
Propositions
as
his
Majesty
shall
make
;
hoping
that
the
said
Proposals
may
be
so
moderated
in
the
said
Treaty
,
as
to
render
them
the
more
capable
of
his
Majesties
fu●l
Concession
;
wherein
he
resolves
to
give
full
satisfaction
unto
his
People
,
for
whatsoever
shall
concern
the
settling
of
the
Protestant
Profession
,
with
Liberty
to
tender
Consciences
,
and
the
securing
of
the
Laws
,
Liberties
,
and
Properties
of
all
his
Subjects
,
and
the
just
Priviledges
of
Parliament
for
the
future
.
And
likewise
by
his
present
Deportment
in
this
Treaty
,
He
will
make
the
world
clearly
judge
of
his
intentions
in
matter
of
future
Government
.
In
which
Treaty
his
Majesty
will
be
well
pleased
,
if
it
be
thought
●it
,
that
Commissioners
from
the
Army
(
whose
the
Proposals
are
)
may
likewise
be
admitted
.
His
Majesty
therefore
conjures
his
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
by
the
Duty
they
owe
to
God
,
and
his
Majesty
their
King
,
and
by
the
Bowels
of
compassion
they
have
to
their
fellow-Subjects
,
both
for
the
relief
of
their
present
sufferings
,
and
to
prevent
future
miseries
;
That
they
will
forthwith
accept
of
this
his
Majesties
offer
,
that
hereby
the
joyful
news
of
Peace
may
be
restered
to
this
distressed
Kingdom
.
And
for
what
concerns
the
Kingdom
of
Scotland
mentioned
in
the
Propositions
,
his
Majesty
will
very
willingly
Treat
upon
those
particulars
with
the
Scotch
Commissioners
,
and
doubts
not
but
to
give
reasonable
satisfaction
to
that
his
Kingdom
.
His
Majesty
〈◊〉
the
Army
Proposa●
.
The
Kings
h●rping
upon
those
Proposals
of
the
Army
,
(
acknowledging
a
greater
equity
,
and
just
mensuration
,
and
comprehensiveness
of
them
,
and
that
they
did
much
more
conduce
to
the
satisfaction
of
all
interests
,
and
were
a
fitter
foundation
for
a
lasting
Peace
than
the
Propositions
)
seemed
very
pleasing
to
Cromwel
,
Cromwel
i●g●gl●s
with
his
Majesty
.
who
complemented
the
King
with
the
Armies
glad
sense
of
his
preferring
their
ways
and
method
to
Peace
before
the
Parliament's
,
which
would
no
doubt
credit
them
likewise
to
the
People
;
not
sticking
to
upbraid
the
Members
with
their
disloyal
and
peevish
carriage
toward
the
King
,
and
yet
secretly
He
enraged
the
Vulgar
against
him
.
The
Traytor
yet
knew
that
the
King
did
but
shew
them
Art
for
Art
,
for
that
it
was
impossible
to
produce
any
thing
out
of
that
Chaos
of
their
Proposals
,
without
a
Divine
Fiat
;
which
being
made
to
serve
onely
as
a
temporary
shift
,
a
bone
of
contention
,
could
not
beyond
the
purpose
of
the
Contrivers
be
durable
:
it
will
be
requisite
therefore
to
take
a
short
view
of
them
,
that
posterity
may
see
what
curious
Legislators
these
Souldiers
were
,
and
how
well
capacitated
for
Government
.
—
Bless
us
from
the
Goblin
,
this
idaea
of
STRATOCRACY
.
The
first
principle
is
the
dissolution
of
the
Parliament
,
A
abstract
of
the
Armies
Proposals
.
[
a
preposterous
beginning
,
where
Nature
ends
;
but
yet
not
intended
by
them
till
they
had
served
their
own
ends
,
lust
,
and
ambition
,
from
whence
these
structures
.
]
1.
That
there
be
Biennial
Parliaments
,
and
at
more
certainty
than
these
.
2.
Each
Biennial
Parliament
to
sit
120
days
certain
,
afterwards
adjournable
or
dissolvable
by
the
King
.
3.
This
Biennial
Parliament
to
appoint
Committees
to
continue
during
the
interval
,
for
such
purposes
afore
mentioned
in
the
Proposals
.
4.
That
the
King
,
upon
the
advice
of
the
Council
of
State
,
in
the
Intervals
call
a
Parliament
extraordinary
,
with
limitation
of
meeting
and
dissolving
,
that
the
course
of
the
Biennial
one
may
never
be
interrupted
.
5.
That
a
better
rule
of
proportion
may
be
observed
in
Electing
,
all
Coun●ies
to
have
a
number
of
Parliament-Members
competent
to
their
charges
as
they
are
rated
to
the
publike
;
that
no
poor
Boroughs
have
any
more
Elections
;
and
that
an
addition
of
Members
may
be

sale
of

Lands

which
they
knew
the
Presbyterians
were
entangled
;
but
the
King
extreamly
gratified
,
who
abominated
Sacriledge
,
and
so
was
the
likelier
never
to
comply
with
the
Parliament
,
(
who
made
it
one
of
their
principal
demands
)
which
Cromwel
designed
.

That

things
before

provided
for
,

Queen
and

Issue
,
may
be

to

condition

in
this
Nation
,
without
diminution
to
their
personal
Rights
,
or
further
limitation
to
the
exercise
of

Power

to
the
particulars
aforegoing
.
The
rarest
Article
in
the
Pack
.
Fifteenthly
,
For
the
matter
of
Compositions
.
1.
That
a
less
number
out
of
the
persons
excepted
in
the
two
first
qualifications
,
Divers
pretences
in
favour
of
the
Cavaliers

designes
to
please
all
Parties
,
by

;
Asserting

rights
in

;

(
not
exceeding
five
for

)

nominated

by
the
Parliament
,
besides
the
Irish
Rebels
,
may
be
reserved
to
the
Iudgment
of
the
Parliament
,
&c.
[
And
many
more
good
morrows
in
favourable
restrictions
of
the
Parliament's
severity
to
poor
Cavaliers
,
whom
they
reserved
for
their
more
ravenous
jaws
;
thinking
by
these
wiles
,
first
to
betray
,
and
then
devour
them
:
and
therefore
now
the
Tyger
is
become
a
mediator
to
the
Wolf
,
to
spare
the
innocent
sheep
that
's
encompassed
between
them
.
]
The
rest
of
this
batch
was
for
particular
redresses
of
the
Law
,
and
abuses
of
the
Lawyers
;
concerning
Imprisonments
for
Debts
,
Regulating
Assessements
,
and
remedies
against
the
contentious
Suits
of
Tythes
;
for
asserting
the
peoples
right
in
Petitioning
;
against
Forrest-Lands
;
and
almost
all
particular
grievances
,
especially
the
Excise
and
Monopolies
;
against
Corporation-Oaths
,
as
grievous
to
tender
Consciences
,
being
too
long
to
enumerate
.
The
drift
of
all
being
to
please
all
sorts
of
people
,
one
or
other
hitting
the
humour
of
every
man
;
but
chiefly
gratifying
the
Fanaticks
,
and
miserable
Vulgar
,
who
were
to
be
deluded
,
and
then
used
as
a
bridge
to
their
own
slavery
.
The
conclusion
of
them
,
was
to
tye
the
hands
of
the
Militia
of
the
Trained-Bands
,
by
regulating
the
Commissioners
and
Officers
,
from
their
former
Arbitrariness
,
that
so
the
Souldiers
might
be
under
no
Command
,
and
unable
to
offend
them
:
To
which
was
subjoyned
a
demand
of
their
Arrears
to
the
utmost
penny
,
and
the
publike
Faith
to
be
satisfied
and
relieved
.
[
And
then
they
have
more
particulars
to
offer
;
if
any
body
that
knew
their
jugling
should
take
them
now
at
their
word
,
which
they
would
rather
eat
their
Swords
than
perform
.

Signed
by
the
appointment

Excellency
Sir
Tho.

and

of

Ioh.
Rushworth
,
Secretary

This
Hodgpodg
or
Alchoran
,
containing
Jewish
,
Turkish
,
and
some
Christian
sentences
;
some
of
the
Parliaments
,
and
some
of
their
own
,
and
some
of
the
Kings
Condescentions
too
,
were
far
more
tolerable
than
those
Heathenish
and
Pagan
Institutes
of
the
Parliaments
,
sent
to
the
King
in
the
name
of
Propositions
:
which
He
having
declined
,
did
hope
to
effect
his
and
his
Kingdoms
Peace
and
restitution
at
easier
terms
from
the
Army
;
and
therefore
was
instant
with
Cromwel
and
other
Grandees
of
the
Army
,
Cromwel
and
other
Grandees
of
the
Army
,
frequently
with
the
King
.
who
were
evermore
at
his
Elbow
,
to
appoint
Commissioners
to
Treat
with
him
of
those
Proposals
:
His
Majesty
not
doubting
,
but
so
to
temper
them
,
as
to
come
to
a
right
understanding
;
which
if
it
should
happen
,
it
would
be
the
Glory
and
Honour
of
the
Army
,
that
they
had
laid
such
a
platform
and
expedient
,
for
the
good
,
quiet
,
Peace
and
happiness
of
their
King
and
Country
.
But
Cromwel
began
to
turn
a
deaf
ear
to
those
Charms
,
Cromwel
hasfleth
with
the
King
,
and
is
discovered
.
to
●alter
in
his
Addresses
to
the
King
,
to
be
full
of
uncertainties
and
scruples
;
and
at
last
,
to
tell
his
Majesty
that
He
did
not
rightly
understand
them
,
and
so
interpret
their
words
otherwise
than
they
were
spoken
,
and
that
they
had
forgotten
they
had
promised
him
any
such
things
.
He
excused
himself
at
another
time
,
for
not
performing
of
their
Engagements
,
from
a
reverence
to
the
Parliament
,
whom
as
yet
they
durst
not
so
openly
oppose
,
as
to
take
up
his
Quarrel
.
And
lastly
,
as
the
main
artifice
,
he
acquaints
Him
with
the
boldness
and
malice
of
the
Agitators
and
Levellers
,
who
Conspired
his
Murth●r
;
and
that
for
the
present
he
could
not
mitigate
their
violent
and
wicked
Counsels
;
but
when
the
Discipline
of
the
Army
should
be
recovered
,
he
would
make
good
what
he
had
undertook
to
perform
.
And
so
from
time
to
time
courted
the
King
,
till
the
Plot
,
which
he
might
well
forespeak
,
was
ready
for
execution
;
of
which
by
and
by
.
The
King
was
kept
at
Hampton-Court
in
very
great
State
,
The
King
still
kept
at
Hampton
-
Court
,
with
the
publike
use
of
Common-prayer
,
in
great
State
,
his
friends
and
Chaplains
about
him
.
as
usually
in
times
of
Peace
,
his
Chaplains
and
Friends
about
him
,
all
people
permitted
to
see
him
,
Liberty
of
Hunting
with
the
Duke
of
Richmond
,
and
others
of
the
Loyal
Nobility
allowed
him
together
;
so
that
great
was
the
concourse
thither
;
and
most
men
that
judged
by
the
outside
and
fine
appearance
of
things
,
concluded
all
things
would
do
well
,
and
that
the
Army
would
prove
honest
and
Loyal
.
Others
contrarily
thought
that
the
Army
had
some
designe
in
this
pompous
and
open
Treatment
of
the
King
,
who
thereby
imagining
himself
in
his
Regality
and
proper
Orb
,
would
keep
and
maintain
the
greater
distance
from
the
bold
approaches
of
the
Parliament
upon
his
Soveraignty
;
as
all
men
in
prosperity
are
naturally
more
elated
,
more
jealous
of
affronts
,
and
less
ductile
,
than
in
an
adverse
condition
.
These
came
nearest
the
Mark
,
and
yet
the
Kings
constancy
to
himself
not
disputed
;
nothing
being
able
to
make
him
recede
from
those
his
two
great
principles
of
Honour
and
Conscience
;
which
yet
may
admit
of
a
magis
and
minus
in
the
accidental
and
circumstantial
defence
of
them
,
sometimes
more
magnanimously
,
and
sometimes
more
warily
.
This
concourse
to
the
King
,
which
shewed
the
love
the
people
,
especially
the
Citizens
of
London
,
The
Faction
and
Cromwel
suspect
and
fear
●he
Kings
neerness
to
London
.
bare
him
,
began
to
be
no
way
pleasing
to
the
Faction
,
less
to
Cromwel
and
his
party
,
who
feared
a
surprize
of
his
person
out
of
his
hands
to
London
,
and
then
his
designes
and
wits
were
at
an
end
.
He
resolved
therefore
speedily
to
be
rid
of
that
fear
:
and
though
he
had
deliberated
whether
it
were
more
conducing
to
his
purpose
to
assassinate
the
King
there
,
and
invade
the
Government
by
a
sudden
and
impetuous
violence
,
when
all
men
should
have
been
in
a
consternation
at
the
atrocity
of
the
Fact
,
and
would
save
all
those
tedious
arts
to
be
practised
in
a
solemn
way
of
Regicide
;
yet
more
slower
Counsels
prevailed
,
the
image
and
fright
of
Death
should
serve
turn
at
present
.
To
this
purpose
,
Colonel
Whaley
is
ordered
to
tell
the
King
,
Colonel
Whaley
pretends
to
the
King
that
the
Adjutators
designe
to
Murther
him
.
that
the
Adjutators
were
grown
to
that
height
of
violence
,
as
that
they
had
combined
to
Murther
Him
;
and
therefore
as
his
duty
was
,
besides
his
particular
affection
for
his
Majesty
,
he
could
not
but
acquaint
him
,
desiring
him
to
consult
for
his
own
Safety
;
it
being
also
(
as
he
said
)
the
advice
of
the
chief
of
the
Army
,
who
were
loath
he
should
be
Murdered
while
they
helplesly
looked
on
.
They
fright
the
King
from
Hampton
-
Court
:
who
by
the
advice
of
Sir
John
Berkley
and
Mr.
John
Ashburnham
escapes
to
the
Isle
of
Wight
.
Colonel
Hammond
Governour
thereof
.
The
designe
of
this
parricide
had
purposely
been
muttered
up
and
down
the
Court
,
and
so
came
to
the
ear
of
the
Kings
Friends
,
by
whom
he
was
near
the
same
time
acquainted
with
it
.
The
King
therefore
called
to
him
Sir
Iohn
Berkley
and
Mr.
Iohn
Ashburnham
then
attending
him
,
and
advised
with
them
concerning
his
Escape
,
where
between
them
they
unfortunately
,
and
upon
deceitful
grounds
,
concluded
to
fly
to
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
the
Government
whereof
was
newly
conf●rred
upon
Colonel
Hammond
,
(
Brother
to
that
Reverend
Doctor
Henry
Hamond
,
the
Kings
beloved
Chaplain
)
whom
the
crafty
Traytor
did
forecast
,
the
King
in
such
a
perplexity
would
chuse
to
trust
,
from
that
Relation
.
Horses
being
therefore
laid
ready
on
the
other
side
of
the
Water
,
the
King
leaves
his
Chamber
November
the
11.
(
in
a
very
dark
and
tempestuous
night
)
with
his
Cloak
spread
in
the
floor
thereof
,
and
by
the
back-stayrs
descends
to
the
Vault
,
and
so
ever
the
Thames
to
his
Company
,
who
were
the
same
of
his
Counsel
;
and
by
Farnham
(
after
much
tedious
straying
in
the
night
out
of
the
way
in
that
bad
weather
)
came
to
the
Sea-side
neer
Southampton
,
where
missing
of
a
passage
,
the
Boat
●ailing
the
prefixed
time
,
he
was
conveyed
to
the
Countess
Dowager
of
Southampton
at
Tedworth
,
〈…〉
Dowagers
of
South-hampton
.
where
he
lay
that
night
,
while
Sir
Iohn
Berkley
and
Colonel
Ashburnham
passed
over
to
the
Isle
of
Wight
to
the
said
Governour
,
concerning
the
entertainment
of
him
:
where
we
rest
this
relation
▪
and
return
to
Hampton-Court
.
Nov.
11.
The
King
is
misled
.
Whaley
takes
●he
Kings
●apers
left
behind
him
in
his
Chamber
.
About
9
a
clock
at
night
the
King
was
missed
,
but
no
doubt
to
the
little
wonder
,
less
trouble
of
his
Guardians
;
for
the
Centries
had
been
on
purpose
drawn
off
,
to
give
him
free
passage
:
and
it
had
been
discoursed
in
the
Army
some
while
before
,
that
He
would
ere
long
be
in
the
Isle
of
Wight
.
No
more
ado
therefore
was
made
of
it
,
but
onely
a
Letter
with
a
bare
account
of
his
flight
sent
to
the
Parliament
,
and
the
watchful
Guard
remanded
to
the
body
of
the
Army
;
Whaley
having
first
taken
up
the
Papers
which
the
King
had
left
,
the
contents
of
which
are
as
follow
;
the
first
superscribed
,
To
the
Lord
Mountague
of
Boughton
.
MOUNTAGUE
,
The
First
directed
to
the
Lord
Mountague
.
FIrst
,
I
do
hereby
give
you
and
the
rest
of
your
fellows
thanks
,
for
the
civilities
and
good
conversations
that
I
have
had
from
you
.
Next
,
I
command
you
to
send
this
my
Message
,
which
you
will
finde
on
the
Table
,
to
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
;
and
likewise
to
give
a
Copy
of
it
to
Colonel
Whaley
,
to
be
sent
to
the
General
.
Likewise
I
desire
you
to
send
all
my
Saddle-Horses
to
the
Duke
of
York
.
For
what
concerns
the
resolution
that
I
have
taken
,
my
Declaratory
Message
says
so
much
,
that
I
refer
you
to
it
;
and
so
I
rest
Your
Assured
Friend
,
C.
R.
The
second
to
Colonel
Whaley
.
Col.
WHALEY
,
I
Have
been
so
civilly
used
by
you
and
Major
Huntington
,
The
second
to
Colonel
Whaley
.
that
I
cannot
but
by
this
parting
farewel
acknowledge
it
under
my
Hand
,
as
also
to
desire
the
continuance
of
your
Courtesie
,
by
the
protecting
of
my
Houshould-stuff
and
Moveables
of
all
sorts
which
I
leave
behind
me
in
this
House
,
that
they
be
neither
spoiled
nor
Imbez'led
.
Only
there
are
here
three
Pictures
which
are
not
mine
,
that
I
desire
you
to
restore
;
to
wit
,
my
Wives
Picture
in
Blew
sitting
in
a
Chair
,
you
must
send
to
Mrs.
Kirk
;
my
Eldest
Daughters
Picture
Copied
by
Belcan
,
to
the
Countess
of
Anglesey
;
and
my
Lady
Stanhop's
Picture
,
to
Cary
Raleigh
.
There
is
a
Fourth
,
which
I
had
almost
forgot
,
it
is
the
Original
of
my
Eldest
Daughter
,
it
hangs
in
this
Chamber
over
the
board
next
the
Chimney
,
which
you
must
send
to
my
Lady
Aubigney
.
So
being
confident
that
you
wish
my
Preservation
and
Restitution
,
I
rest
Your
Friend
,
C.
R.
CHARLES
REX
.
I
assure
you
it
was
not
the
Letter
you
shewed
me
yesterday
that
made
me
to
take
this
resolution
,
nor
any
Advertisement
of
that
kind
.
But
I
confess
,
that
I
am
loath
to
be
made
a
close
Prisoner
,
under
pretence
of
securing
my
life
.
I
had
almost
forgot
to
desire
you
to
send
the
Black
Grew
Bitch
to
the
Duke
of
Richmond
.
The
third
was
the
Message
to
both
Houses
.
CHARLES
REX
.
LIberty
being
that
which
in
all
times
hath
been
,
His
Majesties
Message
left
behinde
Him
at
Hampton-Court
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
but
especially
now
is
,
the
common
Theme
and
desire
of
all
men
;
common
Reason
shews
,
that
Kings
less
than
any
should
endure
Captivity
.
And
yet
I
call
God
and
the
World
to
Witness
,
with
what
patience
I
have
endured
a
tedious
Restraint
,
which
so
long
as
I
had
any
hopes
that
this
sort
of
my
suffering
might
conduce
to
the
Peace
of
my
Kingdoms
,
or
the
hindring
of
more
effusion
of
Blood
,
I
did
willingly
undergo
:
But
now
finding
by
too
certain
proofs
,
that
my
continued
patience
would
not
only
turn
to
my
Personal
ruine
,
but
likewise
be
of
much
more
prejudice
than
furtherance
to
the
Publike
good
;
I
thought
I
was
bound
as
well
by
Natural
as
Political
Obligations
to
seek
my
safety
,
by
retiring
my self
for
some
time
from
the
publike
view
both
of
my
Friends
and
Enemies
.
And
I
appeal
to
all
indifferent
men
to
judge
,
if
I
have
not
just
cause
to
free
My self
from
the
hands
of
those
who
change
their
Principles
with
their
Condition
,
and
who
are
not
ashamed
openly
to
intend
the
destruction
of
the
Nobility
by
taking
away
their
Negative
Voice
,
and
with
whom
the
Levellers
Doctrine
is
rather
countenanced
than
punished
.
And
as
for
their
intentions
to
My
Person
,
their
changing
and
putting
more
strict
Guards
upon
Me
,
with
the
discharging
most
of
all
those
Servants
of
Mine
,
who
formerly
they
willingly
admitted
to
wait
upon
Me
,
does
sufficiently
declare
.
Nor
would
I
have
this
My
Retirement
misinterpreted
:
for
I
shall
earnestly
and
uncessantly
endeavour
the
settling
of
a
safe
and
well-grounded
Peace
wherever
I
am
,
or
shall
be
,
and
that
(
as
much
as
may
be
)
without
the
effusion
of
Christian
Blood
.
For
which
,
how
many
times
have
I
desired
,
prest
to
be
heard
,
and
no
ear
given
me
?
And
can
any
reasonable
man
think
,
that
(
according
to
the
ordinary
course
of
affairs
)
there
can
be
a
settled
Peace
without
it
,
or
that
God
will
bless
those
who
refuse
to
hear
their
King
?
Surely
no!
nay
,
I
must
further
add
,
that
(
besides
what
concerns
My self
)
unless
all
other
chief
Interests
have
not
onely
a
hearing
,
but
likewise
just
satisfaction
given
unto
them
,
(
to
wit
,
the
Presbyterians
,
Independents
,
Army
,
those
who
have
adhered
to
Me
,
and
even
the
Scots
)
I
say
there
cannot
(
I
speak
not
of
miracles
,
it
being
in
My
opinion
a
sinful
presumption
in
such
cases
to
expect
or
trust
to
them
)
be
a
safe
or
lasting
Peace
.
Now
as
I
cannot
deny
,
but
My
Personal
security
is
the
urgent
cause
of
this
My
Retirement
,
so
I
take
God
to
Witness
,
that
the
Publike
Peace
is
no
less
before
My
eyes
:
and
I
can
finde
no
better
way
to
express
this
My
Profession
,
(
I
know
not
what
a
wiser
man
may
do
)
than
by
desiring
and
urging
that
all
chief
Interests
may
be
heard
,
to
the
end
each
may
have
just
satisfaction
.
As
for
example
,
The
Army
(
for
the
rest
,
though
necessary
,
yet
I
suppose
not
difficult
to
content
)
ought
(
in
My
judgment
)
to
enjoy
the
Liberty
of
their
Consciences
,
have
an
Act
of
Oblivion
or
Indempnity
,
(
which
should
extend
to
all
the
rest
of
My
loving
Subjects
)
and
that
all
their
Arrears
should
be
speedily
and
duely
paid
;
which
I
will
undertake
to
do
,
so
I
may
be
heard
,
and
that
I
be
not
hindered
from
using
such
lawful
and
honest
means
as
I
shall
chuse
.
To
conclude
,
Let
Me
be
heard
with
Freedom
,
Honour
,
and
Safety
,
and
I
shall
instantly
break
through
this
Cloud
of
Retirement
,
and
shew
My self
to
be
Pater
Patriae
.
From
the
hazard
of
a
faigned
attempt
to
be
made
on
His
person
,
behold
the
Majesty
of
so
excellent
a
Prince
really
enda●gered
,
and
in
the
very
pit
of
destruction
which
his
Enemies
had
digged
for
him
.
For
upon
notice
given
to
Hamond
by
the
said
Attendants
,
of
the
Kings
Adventure
,
which
they
would
have
to
be
valued
at
no
less
than
His
Liberty
;
He
presently
replied
,
that
for
security
of
Him
from
danger
he
would
undertake
,
but
His
Liberty
and
that
were
inconsistent
,
nor
could
be
answer
it
to
his
Superiors
the
Army
and
Parliament
;
whereupon
since
they
perceived
the
necessity
of
yielding
to
these
terms
,
they
Boated
over
with
him
,
accompanied
by
one
Captain
Basket
to
the
place
where
the
King
was
,
The
King
seized
by
Col.
Hamond
in
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
and
conveyed
to
Carlsbrook
-
Castle
,
Nove.
14.
The
Parl.
make
it
High
Treason
for
any
to
conceal
the
King
.
They
command
Col.
Hamond
to
send
the
Kings
attendants
up
to
London
,
he
refuseth
.
The
King
pleads
in
their
behalf
.
who
delivered
Himself
into
their
hand
,
and
was
presently
conveyed
over
to
the
Castle
of
Carisbrooke
in
the
said
Island
.
In
the
interim
the
Parliament
had
made
it
High
Treason
for
any
man
to
conceal
His
person
,
and
with
Spies
and
Guards
laid
every
place
to
intercept
Him
:
but
being
soon
informed
by
Hamond
that
He
was
in
his
custody
,
they
derived
their
fury
upon
those
Gentlemen
that
accompanied
Him
,
commanding
Hamond
to
send
them
up
to
London
to
be
proceeded
against
;
which
he
refused
;
pretending
first
,
the
just
offence
thereby
given
the
King
,
in
removing
His
only
Friends
and
Familiars
:
then
,
his
Honour
engaged
,
as
he
said
,
for
their
indempnity
;
and
declaring
,
that
what
they
had
done
therein
,
was
out
of
a
desire
of
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
:
whereas
the
meaning
was
,
that
their
safety
and
protection
was
obliged
partly
to
that
unwitting
service
they
had
done
the
Faction
,
who
were
(
honourably
)
pleased
to
shield
those
,
who
had
skreened
them
from
the
odium
of
that
unfortunate
and
pernicious
Escape
;
and
partly
to
the
King
,
who
interposed
himself
in
the
matter
,
declaring
,
If
those
Gentlemen
were
taken
and
punished
as
evil
doers
,
for
Counseling
Him
not
to
go
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
but
rather
to
come
to
the
place
where
he
now
is
,
for
the
ends
aforesaid
,
and
for
their
endeavours
in
attending
Him
thither
,
He
cannot
but
expect
to
be
dealt
with
accordingly
,
His
Case
being
the
same
.
The
next
consideration
of
this
affair
by
the
Parliament
was
a
result
of
five
Votes
,
The
Parliament
vote
that
no
Cavalier
or
Papists
be
admitted
into
the
Island
.
The
Gen.
hath
the
command
of
his
person
.
The
King
allowed
5000
l.
for
the
●xpences
of
his
Court.
which
forbad
any
Cavaliers
or
Papists
to
be
admitted
in
the
Island
,
and
left
the
guard
of
his
Person
and
the
nomination
of
Officers
to
attend
Him
to
the
General
,
and
allowed
5000
l.
for
the
expences
of
his
Court
;
the
last
of
which
Hamond
quarrelled
at
,
as
an
incompetent
pittance
,
but
it
's
questionable
whether
he
meant
not
for
himself
;
and
no
doubt
he
was
better
paid
for
his
service
.
He
also
required
more
aid
,
that
(
forsooth
)
he
might
be
as
good
as
his
word
,
in
keeping
the
King
in
security
and
out
of
danger
,
who
having
passed
—
(
Per
varios
casus
per
tot
discrimina
rerum
,
—
ad
Latium
tendit
,
)
so
many
perils
and
discouragements
,
gave
not
yet
over
his
endeavours
after
Peace
,
but
with
a
just
resolution
of
not
being
denied
this
time
,
when
he
now
granted
almost
the
whole
controversie
,
He
wooes
them
in
this
Message
from
His
Prison
at
Carisbrook
,
(
where
He
had
only
the
liberty
of
the
Walls
under
a
Guard
:
)
It
indeed
comprehends
and
clears
all
the
differences
between
the
King
and
Parliament
.
CHARLES
REX
.
HIs
Majesty
is
confident
that
before
this
time
His
two
Houses
of
Parliament
have
received
the
Message
which
he
left
behinde
Him
at
Hampton-Court
the
11th
of
November
,
The
Kings
Message
to
the
Parliament
from
his
inprisonment
in
Carisbrook-Castle
.
by
which
they
will
have
understood
the
reasons
which
enforced
Him
to
go
from
thence
,
as
likewise
his
constant
endeavours
for
the
settling
of
a
safe
and
well-grounded
Peace
wheresoever
he
should
be
.
And
being
now
in
a
place
where
he
conceives
himself
to
be
at
much
more
freedom
and
security
than
formerly
,
He
thinks
it
necessary
(
not
only
for
making
good
his
own
Professions
,
but
also
for
the
speedy
procuring
of
a
Peace
in
these
languishing
and
distressed
Kingdoms
)
at
this
time
to
offer
such
grounds
to
His
two
Houses
for
that
effect
,
He
professeth
as
he
is
a
Christian
and
a
King
to
defend
the
Government
of
the
Church
,
by
Arch-bishops
,
Bishops
,
&c.
Their
Order
being
placed
in
the
Church
by
the
Apostles
.
which
upon
due
examination
of
all
Interests
may
best
conduce
thereunto
.
And
because
Religion
is
the
best
and
chiefest
Foundation
of
Peace
,
His
Majesty
will
begin
with
that
particular
.
—
That
for
the
abolishing
Arch-bishops
,
Bishops
,
&c.
His
Majesty
clearly
professeth
,
that
he
cannot
give
his
consent
thereunto
,
both
in
relation
as
he
is
a
Christian
and
a
King
.
For
the
first
,
he
avows
that
he
is
satisfied
in
his
judgment
,
that
this
Order
was
placed
in
the
Church
by
the
Apostles
themselves
,
and
ever
since
that
time
hath
continued
in
all
Christian
Churches
throughout
the
World
,
until
this
last
Century
of
years
;
and
in
this
Church
in
all
times
of
Change
and
Reformation
it
hath
been
upheld
by
the
wisdom
of
His
Ancestors
,
as
the
great
preserver
of
Doctrine
,
Discipline
,
and
Order
in
the
Service
of
God
.
As
a
King
,
at
his
Coronation
He
hath
not
onely
taken
a
Solemn
Oath
to
maintain
this
Order
,
And
he
and
His
Predecessors
having
Sworn
to
maintain
it
.
but
His
Majesty
and
His
Predecessors
in
their
Confirmation
of
the
Great
Charter
,
have
inseparably
woven
the
Rights
of
the
Church
into
the
Liberties
of
the
rest
of
their
Subjects
.
And
yet
he
is
willing
it
be
provided
,
that
the
particular
Bishops
perform
the
several
Duties
of
their
Callings
,
both
by
their
Personal
residence
,
B●t
agrees
that
their
Power
may
be
so
limited
as
not
to
be
grievous
to
tender
Consciences
.
and
frequent
Preaching
in
their
Dioceses
,
as
also
that
they
Exercise
no
Act
of
Iurisdiction
or
Ordination
,
without
the
consent
of
their
Presbyters
;
and
will
consent
that
their
Powers
in
all
things
be
so
Limited
,
that
they
be
not
grievous
to
Tender
Consciences
.
Wherefore
since
His
Majesty
is
willing
to
give
ease
to
the
Consciences
of
others
,
He
sees
no
reason
why
he
alone
,
and
those
of
his
Iudgement
,
should
be
pressed
to
a
Violation
of
theirs
.
Nor
can
His
Majesty
Consent
to
the
Alienation
of
Church-Lands
,
because
it
cannot
be
denied
to
be
a
sin
of
the
Highest
Sacriledge
,
as
also
that
it
subverts
the
intentions
of
so
many
Pious
Donors
,
who
have
laid
a
heavy
Curse
upon
all
such
prophane
Violations
,
which
His
Majesty
is
very
unwilling
to
undergo
:
And
besides
the
matter
of
Conscience
,
His
Majesty
believes
it
to
be
a
prejudice
to
the
Publike
Good
;
many
of
His
Subjects
having
the
benefit
of
renewing
Leases
at
much
easier
rates
than
if
those
Possessions
were
in
the
hands
of
Private
men
:
Not
omitting
the
discouragement
which
it
will
be
to
all
Learning
and
Industry
,
when
such
eminent
rewards
shall
be
taken
away
,
which
now
lye
open
to
the
Children
of
the
meanest
persons
.
Yet
His
Majesty
considering
the
present
great
distempers
concerning
Church-Discipline
,
and
that
the
Presbyterian
Government
is
now
in
practice
,
His
Majesty
,
to
eschew
Confusion
as
much
as
may
be
,
and
for
the
satisfaction
of
His
two
Houses
,
is
content
that
the
said
Government
be
Legally
permitted
to
stand
in
the
same
condition
it
now
is
for
three
years
:
provided
,
that
His
Majesty
and
those
of
his
Iudgement
,
(
or
any
other
who
cannot
in
Conscience
submit
thereunto
)
be
not
obliged
to
comply
with
the
Presbyterian
Government
,
but
have
free
Practice
of
their
own
Profession
,
without
receiving
any
prejudice
thereby
:
and
that
a
free
Consultation
and
Debate
be
had
with
the
Divines
at
Westminster
(
twenty
of
his
Majesties
nomination
being
added
unto
them
)
whereby
it
may
be
determined
by
his
Majesty
and
the
two
Houses
,
how
the
Church-Government
after
the
said
time
shall
be
setled
,
(
or
sooner
,
if
differences
be
agreed
)
as
is
most
agreeable
to
the
Word
of
God
;
with
full
Liberty
to
all
those
who
shall
differ
upon
Conscientious
Grounds
from
that
Settlement
.
Always
provided
,
that
nothing
aforesaid
may
be
understood
to
tolerate
those
of
the
Popish
Profession
,
nor
the
exempting
of
any
Popish
Recusant
from
the
penalties
of
the
Laws
,
or
to
tolerate
the
publike
profession
of
Atheism
or
Blasphemy
,
contrary
to
the
Doctrine
of
the
Apostles
,
Nicene
,
and
Athanasian
Creeds
,
they
having
been
received
by
,
and
had
in
reverence
of
,
all
the
Christian
Churches
,
and
more
particularly
by
us
of
England
ever
since
the
Reformation
.
Next
,
the
Militia
being
that
right
which
is
inseparably
and
undoubtedly
Inherent
in
the
Crown
,
by
the
Laws
of
this
Nation
,
and
that
which
former
Parliaments
,
as
likewise
this
,
hath
acknowledged
to
be
so
;
His
Majesty
cannot
so
much
wrong
that
Trust
which
the
Laws
of
God
and
the
Land
hath
annexed
to
the
Crown
for
the
protection
and
security
of
his
people
,
as
to
Devest
himself
and
His
Successors
of
the
Power
of
the
Sword
:
Yet
to
give
an
infallible
evidence
of
His
desire
to
secure
the
performance
of
such
Agreements
as
shall
be
made
in
order
to
Peace
,
The
King
cons●nts
that
the
power
of
the
Militia
both
by
Land
and
Sea
shall
be
ordered
by
the
Parliament
during
his
Raign
.
his
Majesty
will
consent
to
an
Act
of
Parliament
,
that
the
whole
Power
of
the
Militia
both
by
Land
and
Sea
,
for
and
during
his
whole
Raign
,
shall
be
ordered
and
disposed
by
his
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
or
by
such
persons
as
they
shall
appoint
,
with
Powers
limited
for
suppressing
of
Forces
within
this
Kingdom
to
the
disturbance
of
the
Publike
Peace
,
and
against
Forain
Invasion
;
and
that
they
shall
have
Power
during
his
said
Raign
to
raise
money
for
the
present
purposes
aforesaid
;
and
that
neither
his
Majesty
that
now
is
,
or
any
other
(
by
his
Authority
derived
onely
from
him
)
shall
execute
any
of
the
said
Powers
during
his
Majesties
said
Raign
,
but
such
as
shall
act
by
the
consent
and
approbation
of
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
.
Nevertheless
His
Majesty
intends
that
all
Patents
,
Commissions
,
and
other
Acts
concerning
the
Militia
,
be
made
and
acted
as
formerly
;
and
that
after
His
Majesties
Raign
all
the
Power
of
the
Militia
shall
return
entirely
to
the
Crown
,
as
it
was
in
the
times
of
Queen
Elizabeth
and
King
Iames
of
Blessed
Memory
.
After
this
head
of
the
Militia
,
He
promiseth
to
pay
the
Army
their
Arrears
.
the
consideration
of
the
Arrears
due
to
the
Army
is
not
improper
to
follow
;
for
the
payment
whereof
,
and
the
ease
of
his
people
,
His
Majesty
is
willing
to
concur
in
any
thing
that
can
be
done
without
the
violation
of
His
Conscience
and
Honour
.
Wherefore
if
His
two
Houses
shall
consent
to
remit
unto
Him
such
benefit
out
of
Sequestrations
from
Michaelmas
last
,
and
out
of
Compositions
that
shall
be
made
before
the
concluding
of
the
Peace
,
and
the
Arrears
of
such
as
have
been
already
made
,
the
assistance
of
the
Clergy
,
and
the
Arrears
of
such
Rents
of
His
own
Revenue
as
His
two
Houses
shall
not
have
received
before
the
concluding
of
the
Peace
,
His
Majesty
will
undertake
within
the
space
of
eighteen
months
,
the
payment
of
400000
l.
for
the
satisfaction
of
the
Army
.
And
if
those
means
shall
not
be
sufficient
,
His
Majesty
intends
to
give
way
to
the
sale
of
Forrest-Lands
for
that
purpose
;
this
being
the
publike
debt
which
in
His
Majesties
judgment
is
first
to
be
satisfied
:
And
for
other
publike
debts
already
contracted
upon
Church-Lands
,
or
any
other
Engagements
,
His
Majesty
will
give
His
consent
to
such
Act
or
Acts
for
raising
of
moneys
for
payment
thereof
,
as
both
Houses
shall
hereafter
agree
upon
,
Consenteth
that
the
great
Offices
of
State
,
and
naming
of
Privy
Counsellors
shall
be
in
the
Power
of
the
two
Houses
,
during
his
raign
.
so
as
they
be
equally
laid
,
whereby
His
People
(
already
too
heavily
burthened
by
these
late
distempers
)
may
have
no
more
pressures
upon
them
than
this
absolute
necessity
requires
.
And
for
the
further
securing
all
Fears
,
His
Majesty
will
consent
that
an
Act
of
Parliament
be
Passed
for
the
disposing
of
the
great
Offices
of
State
,
and
naming
of
Privy
Counsellours
for
the
whole
term
of
his
Raign
by
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
;
their
Patents
and
Commissions
being
taken
from
His
Majesty
,
and
after
to
return
to
the
Crown
,
as
is
exprest
in
the
Article
of
the
Militia
.
For
the
Court
of
Wards
and
Liveries
,
His
Majesty
very
well
knows
the
consequence
of
taking
that
away
,
by
turning
of
all
Tenures
into
common
Soccage
,
as
well
in
point
of
Revenue
to
the
Crown
,
as
in
the
protection
of
many
of
His
Subjects
being
Infants
:
Nevertheless
,
if
the
continuance
thereof
seem
grievous
to
His
Subjects
,
rather
than
he
will
fail
on
His
part
in
giving
satisfaction
,
He
will
consent
to
an
Act
for
taking
of
it
away
;
so
as
a
full
recompence
be
settled
upon
his
Majesty
and
His
Successors
in
perpetuity
,
and
that
the
Arrears
now
d●●
,
be
reserved
unto
Him
towards
the
payment
of
the
Arrears
of
the
Army
.
And
that
the
memory
of
these
late
distractions
may
be
wholly
wiped
away
,
His
Majesty
will
consent
to
an
Act
of
Parliament
for
the
Suppressing
and
making
Null
Oaths
,
Declarations
,
and
Proclamations
,
against
both
or
either
House
of
Parliament
,
and
of
all
Indictments
and
other
Proceedings
against
any
persons
for
adhering
unto
them
.
And
His
M●jesty
proposeth
(
as
the
best
expedient
to
take
away
all
seeds
of
future
differences
)
that
there
be
an
Act
of
Oblivion
to
extend
to
all
His
Subjects
.
As
for
Ireland
,
the
Cessation
there
is
long
since
determined
;
but
for
the
future
(
all
other
things
being
fully
agreed
)
His
Majesty
will
give
full
satisfaction
to
His
Houses
concerning
that
Kingdom
.
And
although
His
Majesty
cannot
consent
in
Honour
and
Iustice
to
avoid
all
His
own
Acts
and
Grants
,
past
under
His
Great
Seal
since
the
22
of
May
1642.
or
to
the
confirming
all
the
Acts
and
Grants
passed
under
that
made
by
the
two
Houses
;
yet
His
Majesty
is
confident
,
that
upon
perusal
of
particulars
,
He
shall
give
full
satisfaction
to
His
two
Houses
,
to
what
may
be
reasonably
desired
in
that
particular
.
And
now
his
Majesty
conceives
that
by
these
his
Offers
(
which
he
is
ready
to
make
good
upon
the
settlement
of
a
Peace
)
he
hath
clearly
manifested
his
intentions
to
give
full
security
and
satisfaction
to
all
Interests
for
what
can
justly
be
desired
,
in
order
to
the
future
happiness
of
his
people
.
And
for
the
perfecting
of
these
Concessions
,
as
also
for
such
other
things
as
may
be
proposed
by
the
two
Houses
,
and
for
such
just
and
reasonable
demands
as
his
Majesty
shall
finde
necessary
to
propose
on
his
part
,
he
earnestly
desireth
a
Personal
Treaty
at
London
with
his
two
Houses
,
in
Honour
,
Freedom
,
and
safety
;
He
〈…〉
at
London
with
〈…〉
.
it
being
in
his
Iudgment
,
the
most
proper
,
and
indeed
only
means
,
to
a
firm
and
settled
Peace
;
and
impossible
,
without
it
,
to
reconcile
former
,
or
to
avoid
future
misunderstandings
.
All
these
things
being
by
Treaty
perfected
,
his
Majesty
believes
his
two
Houses
will
think
it
reasonable
,
that
the
Proposals
of
the
Army
concerning
the
Succession
of
Parliaments
,
and
their
due
Election
,
should
be
taken
into
consideration
.
As
for
what
concerns
the
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
his
Majesty
will
very
readily
apply
himself
to
give
all
reasonable
satisfaction
,
when
the
desires
of
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
on
their
behalf
,
or
of
the
Commissioners
of
that
Kingdom
,
or
of
both
joyned
together
,
shall
be
made
known
unto
him
.
This
Answer
was
full
,
and
apportioned
to
all
interests
,
and
shewed
the
incomparable
prudence
,
as
well
as
invincible
constancy
of
the
King
:
at
which
the
Parliament
shewed
themselves
much
offended
,
and
communicated
this
their
displeasure
to
the
Scots
Commissioners
,
(
who
participated
seemingly
with
them
therein
)
but
made
no
Reply
to
the
King
;
their
custom
being
to
set
other
Pens
on
work
to
discant
upon
them
,
Several
scurrilous
Pamphlets
published
to
defame
His
Majesty
.
Especially
Needham's
,
●atitul●d
a
Hue
and
Cry
after
the
King
.
and
pick
out
some
jealous
Observations
,
to
keep
the
people
still
to
their
party
,
by
bold
assertions
of
His
Majesties
preva●ications
and
injustices
in
all
his
Papers
and
Messages
to
the
Parliament
;
some
of
them
writ
meanly
,
scurrilously
and
impudently
,
(
among
the
rest
,
a
most
execrable
and
blasphemous
Paper
called
a
Hue
and
Cry
after
the
King
,
upon
his
flight
from
Hampton
,
by
one
Needham
that
writ
afterward
the
News-Book
for
them
)
in
others
more
modestly
and
politely
,
with
a
fine
but
false
edge
,
which
yet
served
to
wound
His
Majesties
Reputation
,
and
to
carve
to
the
Grandees
the
spoils
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
were
to
be
secured
by
these
misunderstandings
.
But
against
these
Writers
there
appeared
a
Champion
of
Loyalty
,
Judge
Ienkins
,
who
out
of
the
Parliaments
Wrath
,
Iudge
Jenkins
sloutly
vindicates
the
King's
Cause
and
Party
.
(
with
the
Earl
of
Cleveland
,
Sir
Lewis
Dives
,
Sir
Iohn
Stawel
,
and
others
Royalists
)
was
Committed
to
the
Tower
,
and
being
brought
to
the
Chancery-Bar
,
refused
to
own
the
Court
and
the
Authority
thereof
,
and
so
was
remanded
in
Order
to
a
Tryal
at
the
Kings-Bench
,
where
in
the
me●n
while
he
fully
Answered
all
those
Cavils
against
the
King
,
by
Reason
,
Law
,
and
from
the
Parliaments
own
words
and
Declarations
,
ridling
their
nice
,
time-serving
distinction
of
the
Kings
Person
and
Authority
,
his
Politick
and
Natural
Capacity
,
to
be
a
meer
Fiction
never
heard
of
before
;
and
that
their
as
bold
assumption
of
the
Kings
Vertual
presence
in
the
two
Houses
,
was
also
and
alike
Treasonable
,
as
he
cited
in
the
Case
of
the
two
Spencers
,
in
the
7
of
Edward
the
2.
from
their
own
Oracle
Sir
Edward
Coke
,
in
the
7
part
of
his
Reports
,
fol.
11.
He
then
runs
over
the
whole
Case
and
state
of
the
Question
and
Dispute
betwixt
the
Royalists
and
Parliamentarians
;
which
being
published
,
incredible
it
is
how
greedily
they
were
bought
up
,
and
how
many
honest
people
undeceived
;
so
that
His
Majesties
Cause
was
every
where
under
the
nose
of
the
Faction
well
spoken
of
.
We
will
,
for
the
honour
of
that
Noble
person
,
give
this
short
and
summary
account
of
it
,
as
a
Sea-mark
to
Posterity
.
First
,
The
Royalists
have
aided
the
King
in
this
War
(
contrary
to
the
Parliaments
Negative
Oath
and
Votes
,
)
warranted
by
the
Statute
of
25
Ed.
2.
ch.
2.
They
have
maintained
the
Commission
of
Array
by
the
Kings
Command
against
their
Votes
,
by
the
Statute
of
the
5
Hen.
4.3
.
They
have
maintained
Arch-bishops
,
Bishops
,
&c.
from
Magna
Charta
,
and
many
other
Statutes
.
4.
They
have
maintained
the
Book
of
Common
prayer
,
warranted
by
five
Acts
of
Parliament
,
in
Edw.
6.
Queen
Eliz.
for
Libels
against
which
and
Church-Government
,
some
have
been
Executed
.
5.
They
maintained
the
Militia
of
the
Kingdom
to
belong
to
the
King
,
from
the
Statute
of
the
7
Edw.
1.
and
many
Statutes
since
.
6.
They
maintained
the
Counterfeiting
of
the
Kings
Great
Seal
to
be
High
Treason
,
as
likewise
the
usurpation
of
the
Kings
Forts
,
Ports
,
and
Shipping
,
&c.
from
the
said
Statute
of
25
Ed.
3.
and
divers
others
since
,
and
the
practice
of
all
times
.
7.
They
maintain
,
that
the
King
is
the
only
Supreme
Governour
in
all
Cases
;
the
Parliament
,
that
his
Majestie
is
to
be
governed
by
them
.
The
former's
warrant
is
the
Statute
of
Queen
Eliz.
&c.
8.
They
maintain
that
the
King
is
King
by
an
inherent
Birth-right
,
by
Nature
,
by
Gods
Law
,
and
by
the
law
of
the
Land
;
These
say
,
that
his
Kingly
Right
is
an
Office
upon
Trust.
Their
warrant
is
the
Statute
of

This

made
the
wilfully
blinde
more
peevish
,
and
fuller
of
smart
and
anguish
,
so
that
they
were
resolved
to
have

but
he
had
so
hedged
up
their
way
to
it
,
by
upbraiding
them
with
their
former
Illegal
and
Tyrannical
Cruelty
,
that
they
only
kept
him
in
a
strict
duress
,
which
was
enlarged
by
degrees
,
till
the
time
of
Restitution
1660
,
when
he
was
in
health
,
and
at
perfect
freedom
.
He
was
a
great
stickler
likewise
in
the
Feud
betwixt
the
Presbyterian
and
Independent
,
siding
with
the
Army
,
and
doctrinating
them
with
the
Principles
of
Allegiance
,
which
they
pretended
to
;

animating
them
against
the
Parliament
,
by
perswading
them
that
all
their
Ordinances
made
for
their
Indemnity
and
Arrears
,
were
insignificant
and
invalid
,
and
were
but
so
many
blinds
for
the
present
;
and
that
their
security
and
satisfaction
depended
wholly
upon
the
King
:
which
designe
of
his
,
in
that
juncture
of
time
,
did
operate
successfully
,
until
the
cause
of
the
contention
ceasing
,
Cromwel
having
mastered
and
surmounted
all
the
rubs
to
his
designe
,
the
effect
,
the
ruine
of
both
,
likewise
failed
.
Miserable
now
were
the
complaints
from
several
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
by
reason
of
the
burden
of
Free-quarter
.
The
burden
of
Free-quarter
.
In
the
third
year
of
King
Charles
,
upon
the
Expedition
for
the
Isle
of
Rhee
,
the
Lords
and
Commons
in
their
Petition
of
Right
,
when
not
above
2
or
3000
Souldiers
were
thinly
Quartered
upon
the
people
,
but
for
a
Month
or
two
,
complained
thereof
to
his
Majesty
as
a
great
grievance
,
contrary
to
the
Laws
and
Customs
of
the
Realm
;
and
humbly
prayed
,
as
their
right
,
according
to
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
that
he
would
remove
it
:
which
his
Majesty
presently
granted
.
Yet
now
,
though
the
Country
was
ten
times
more
oppressed
,
no
remedy
could
be
had
;
the
Army
under
pretence
of
Lodging
,
Fire
,
and
Candle
,
taking
all
other
necessaries
:
for
which
if
at
any
time
they
pretended
to
offer
money
,
yet
durst
none
take
it
for
fear
of
greater
damage
,
the
spoiler
being
only
triable
by
a
Council
of
War
.
This
,
the
Souldiers
were
taught
likewise
by
their
Adjutators
to
load
upon
the
Parliament
,
Cromwel
and
his
supernumeraries
,
the
cause
thereof
.
through
their
neglect
of
paying
them
;
when
indeed
the
supernumeraries
with
which
Cromwel
daily
recruited
the
Army
,
without
any
Authority
,
far
beyond
the
pay
or
number
established
,
was
the
cause
of
the
Arrears
,
and
this
oppression
of
Free-quarter
;
for
upon
complaints
thereof
made
in
the
House
,
the
Army
being
quartered
in
several
Brigades
,
supernumeraries
have
been
disbanded
in
one
Brigade
,
their
Arms
taken
by
their
Officers
,
and
shortly
after
they
have
been
listed
again
in
another
Brigade
,
and
their
Arms
sold
again
to
the
State
after
a
while
,
to
new
arm
them
.
By
which
means
Cromwel
had
amassed
a
Magazine
of
such
,
which
being
lodged
in
the
City
,
and
rumoured
by
some
zealots
to
be
for
arming
some
Reformadoes
,
were
now
upon
examination
found
to
belong
unto
Him
,
and
so
the
business
was
husht
up
;
which
if
they
could
have
fastned
upon
the
other
Party
,
should
have
been
noised
for
horrid
Treason
.
By
this
grievance
of
Free-quarter
they
were
doubly
and
trebly
payed
,
taking
it
in
one
place
,
and
Composition
for
it
in
another
,
perhaps
in
three
or
four
places
at
once
,
by
false
Billets
;
yet
nevertheless
,
though
by
these
tricks
they
owed
money
to
the
State
,
they
demanded
and
compelled
an
Ordinance
from
the
Parliament
to
secure
their
Arrears
of
the
24
of
December
,
whereby
they
had
the
two
thirds
of
Delinquents
Estates
,
mentioned
or
comprehended
in
the
three
first
qualifications
of
them
,
in
the
Propositions
sent
to
the
King
at
the
Isle
of
Wight
;
and
all
the
money
arising
out
of
the
remaining
part
of
Bishops
Lands
,
appointed
to
be
sold
by
former
Ordinances
;
Vast
sums
of
money
raised
for
the
Souldiery
.
and
the
sum
of
600000
l.
charged
on
the
receipt
of
EXCISE
,
(
with
the
Forrest-Lands
and
other
incomes
)
for
the
securing
of
the
said
Arrears
,
to
be
issued
out
to
the
Treasurers
at
War
,
to
such
and
such
persons
for
the
uses
aforesaid
,
in
such
manner
as
the
Committee
of
Lords
and
Commons
for
the
Army
,
or
any
five
of
them
under
their
hands
would
limit
and
appoint

long
after
upon
doublings
on
purchases
of
the
Crown
and
other
forfeited
Lands
for
Half
a
Crown
in
the
pound
,
besides
innumerable
cheats
by
counterfeit
hands
,
but
more
to
the
talk
than
trouble
of
the
Kingdom
,
whose
general
Note
was
—
Caveat
Emptor
.
Wonderful
it
is
(
since
we
have
now
mentioned
that
Dutch
Devil
,
as
it
was
called
,
the
Excise
)
what
vast
sums
of
money
the
Parliament
had
raised
by
it
,
amounting
,
as
by
their
Ordinance
of
the
28
of
August
this
year
appears
,
to
that
time
,
from
its
Commencement
some
three
years
before
,
to
One
million
three
hundred
thirty
four
thousand
five
hundred
thirty
two
pounds
ten
shillings
and
eleven
pence
half
peny
,
clear
,
and
deducted
of
all
charges
in
the
levying
of
it
,
which
defalked
not
above
two
shillings
in
the
pound
.
The
Excise
an
excessive
Tax
,
and
carefully
upheld
.
No
wonder
therefore
they
did
so
carefully
enjoy
▪
and
uphold
this
Tax
,
which
had
supported
and
enabled
them
in
all
their
atchievements
;
and
upon
this
score
they
made
it
over
to
the
Souldiers
,
several
Uproars
and
Tumults
happening
in
the
refusal
of
payment
,
Several
refuse
to
pay
it
,
and
tumults
happen
.
The
Butchers
at
Smithfield-bars
London
,
fire
the
Excise-house
:
several
of
them
tryed
,
but
acqitted
.
particularly
at
Smithfield-bars
London
,
where
the
Butchers
who
then
paid
Excise
for
the
Flesh
sold
,
at
two
shillings
in
the
pound
,
rose
and
fired
the
Excise-house
neer
adjoyning
,
with
all
the
Papers
of
Books
of
Account
;
for
which
several
of
them
were
tryed
,
but
acquitted
:
thereafter
,
that
Duty
upon
Cattle
,
as
likewise
upon
all
Salt
made
in
the
Kingdom
,
was
wholly
laid
aside
.
But
a
most
severe
injunction
was
now
made
for
the
continuance
of
the
rest
,
and
the
refractory
threatned
with
exemplary
punishments
.
So
that
while
Cromwel
could
finde
Men
and
Arms
at
such
a
rate
,
and
the
Parliament
such
heaps
of
Money
by
several
Revenues
,
it
was
in
vain
to
think
of
a
Peace
,
when
such
visible
powerful
advantages
subserved
to
those
wicked
designes
of
inthralling
King
,
Parliament
,
City
and
Kingdom
,
now
mainly
prosecuted
by
the
Adjutators
;
but
so
lendly
and
unseasonably
,
that
Cromwel
,
to
palliate
his
secret
impiety
,
abandoned
one
of
the
Ringleaders
,
one
White
,
White
a
Leveller
Executed
at
Ware
.
And
Thompson
condemned
by
a
Council
of
War
.
to
his
Execution
at
Ware
,
by
a
Sentence
of
a
Council
of
War
,
for
mutinous
speeches
and
Papers
of
the
Levelling
principle
(
but
suspected
also
to
aim
at
himself
)
among
the
Common
Souldiers
.
Neer
the
same
time
,
one
Tompson
of
the
same
Crue
,
was
seized
on
in
the
Lobby
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
supposed
to
be
ready
with
some
Impeachment
or
Articles
against
him
,
and
condemned
in
the
same
manner
by
a
Council
of
War
.
They
cryed
out
of
the
King
as
useless
,
and
had
got
a
Stork
of
their
own
making
ten
times
more
dangerous
,
who
durst
crush
them
to
Ruine
in
the
very
rise
of
his
Ambition
.
These
misdoings
,
and
no
Government
,
highly
displeased
and
incensed
the
people
,
who
too
late
(
—
Sero
sapiunt
Phryges
)
saw
how
they
had
fool'd
themselves
into
slavery
;
the
resentments
whereof
became
so
publike
,
and
so
fearlesly
Voyced
,
that
the
Parliament
was
constrained
to
humour
it
,
and
to
personate
a
serious
study
to
an
Accommodation
.
Hereupon
,
the
same
24
day
of
December
on
which
they
had
Voted
Security
for
the
Armies
Arrears
,
(
an
ill
Omen
of
what
Kindness
they
had
for
the
King
,
whom
they
would
not
bate
an
ace
of
their
demands
)
their
Commissioners
present
to
the
King
at
Carisbrook-Castle
four
Bills
to
be
Passed
as
Acts
of
Parliament
,
The
Parliament
constrained
to
humour
a
Treaty
.
(
with
divers
other
Proposals
,
such
or
worse
than
those
at
Hampton-Court
)
before
any
Treaty
might
be
admitted
.
Four
Bills
tendred
to
the
King
at
the
Isle
of
Wight
before
the
Treaty
should
begin
.
The
first
was
an
Act
with
this
Title
,
Concerning
the
raising
,
setling
,
and
maintaining
Forces
by
Sea
and
by
Land
,
within
the
Kingdoms
of
England
and
Ireland
,
and
Dominion
of
Wales
,
the
Isles
of
Gernsey
and
Jersey
,
and
the
Town
of
Berwick
upon
Tweed
;
whereby
it
was
to
be
Declared
,
That
the
Lords
and
Commons
then
Assembled
in
Parliament
,
or
whom
they
should
appoint
,
(
that
was
a
Council
of
State
of
Pickt
Grandees
)
should
for
twenty
years
have
the
Militia
in
their
disposal
,
against
the
King
,
His
Heirs
,
and
Successors
for
that
term
,
and
after
that
term
the
same
Power
to
be
exercised
by
the
King
,
but
with
the
consent
of
the
Parliament
,
if
they
shall
declare
the
safety
of
the
Kingdom
to
be
concerned
;
and
the
Moneys
raised
for
that
purpose
to
be
imployed
by
the
same
persons
in
the
like
manner
:
Which
was
in
effect
,
to
take
away
the
Kings
Negative
Voyce
from
him
and
His
Heirs
for
ever
.
Besides
,
it
grants
an
unlimited
Power
to
the
two
Houses
,
to
raise
what
Forces
,
and
of
what
persons
they
please
,
and
to
raise
money
in
what
sort
,
and
as
much
,
and
of
whom
,
as
they
shall
think
fit
,
without
any
restriction
or
exception
.
The
second
was
,
An
Act
for
Iustifying
the
Proceedings
of
Parliament
in
the
late
War
,
and
for
Declaring
all
Oaths
,
Declarations
,
Proclamations
,
and
other
proceedings
against
it
to
be
Void
;
whereby
they
were
to
b●
declared
to
have
stood
upon
the
Defensive
part
,
(
their
Conscience
prickt
them
with
their
Blood-guiltiness
,
and
they
would
fain
throw
it
off
,
and
by
adding
more
Guilt
to
it
,
load
it
upon
the
Innocent
;
a
wicked
shift
!
)
and
be
Indempnified
(
still
they
are
tormented
)
for
all
their
past
actions
therein
.
The
third
was
,
An
Act
whereby
all
Titles
,
and
Honour
of
Peerage
,
conferred
on
any
since
the
20
of
May
,
1642.
being
the
day
that
the
Lord
Keeper
Littleton
deserted
the
Parliament
,
and
carried
away
the
Seal
,
were
Declared
Void
.
And
it
was
further
to
be
Enacted
,
that
no
person
that
shall
hereafter
be
made
a
Peer
,
or
his
Heirs
,
shall
sit
or
Vote
in
the
Parliament
of
England
,
without
the
consent
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
The
fourth
was
,
An
Act
concerning
the
Adjournment
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
;
whereby
it
was
Declared
,
that
when
and
wither
the
two
Houses
shall
think
fit
to
Adjourn
themselves
,
the
said
Adjournments
shall
at
all
times
be
valid
and
good
,
and
shall
not
be
judged
or
deemed
to
end
or
determine
the
Session
of
this
Parliament
.
Their
Proposals
to
the
King
.
The
Proposals
were
,
1.
That
the
new
Seal
be
Confirmed
,
and
the
old

and
all
things

in
Ireland
be
made

,
and
the

both
Houses
.

Act
of
Indempuity

The

Assent
to
those
four
Bills
by
His

under

Signed

it

with
the

to
do

otherwise

(

at

and
a

for

a

whereupon
a

shall
be

to

to
Treat
with
Him
only
.
It
was
not
intended
to
shew
these
shapeless
abortions
of
Laws
,
but
that
they
should
have
been
buried
in
their

The

having

There

nothing

constantly
endeavoured

do

The

their

than
a
good
Agreement
and
happy
Vnion
between
Your
Majesty
and
your
Parliaments
of
both
Kingdoms
;
neither
have
we
left
any
means
unessayed
,
that
by
united
Councils
with
the
Parliament
of
England
,
and
making
joynt
applications
to
Your
Majesty
,
there
might
be
a
composition
of
all
differences
.
But
the
new
Propositions
communicated
to
us
by
the
two
Houses
,
and
the
Bills
therewith
presented
to
Your
Majesty
,
are
so
prejudicial
to
Religion
,
the
Crown
,
the
Vnion
and
Interest
of
the
Kingdoms
,
and
so
far
different
from
the
former
proceedings
and
engagements
betwixt
the
Kingdoms
,
as
we
cannot
concur
therein
.
Therefore
we
do
in

This
was
the
first
equal
and
good
Office
meant
the
King
,
though
they
had
greater
concerns
of
their
own
;
but
it
something
served
to
justifie
the
King
to
His
people
in
His
refusal
to
Sign
them
.

Kings
Answer

CHARLES
REX
.
His
Majesties
Answer
to
the
Bills
,
&c.
THe
necessity
of
complying
with
all
engaged
Interests
in
these
great
distempers
for
a
perfect
Settlement
of
Peace
,
His
Majesty
finds
to
be
none
of
the
least
difficulties
he
hath
met
with
since
the
time
of
His
afflictions
;
which
is
too
visible
,
when
at
the
same
time
that
the
two
Houses
of
the
English
Parliament
do
present
to
His
Majesty
several
Bills
and
Propositions
for
His
Consent
,
the
Commissioners
for
Scotland
do
openly
protest
against
them
:
so
that
were
nothing
in
the
case
but
the
consideration
of
that
difference
,
His
Majesty
cannot
imagine
how
to
give
such
an
Answer
to
what
is
now
proposed
,
as
thereby
to
promise
himself
his
great
End
,
A
Perfect
Peace
.
And
when
his
Majesty
further
considers
,
how
impossible
it
is
(
in
the
condition
he
now
stands
)
to
fulfil
the
desires
of
his
two
Houses
,
since
the
onely
ancient
and
known
ways
of
passing
Laws
,
are
either
by
his
Majesties
personal
Assent
in
the
House
of
Peers
,
or
by
Commission
under
his
Great
Seal
of
England
;
He
cannot
but
wonder
at
such
failings
in
the
manner
of
Address
which
is
now
made
unto
him
;
unless
his
two
Houses
intend
that
his
Majesty
shall
allow
of
a
Great
Seal
made
without
his
Authority
,
before
there
be
any
consideration
had
thereupon
in
a
Treaty
;
which
as
it
may
hereafter
hazard
the
security
it self
,
so
for
the
present
it
seems
very
unreasonable
to
his
Majesty
.
And
though
his
Majesty
is
willing
to
believe
that
the
intention
of
very
many
in
both
Houses
,
in
sending
those
Bills
before
a
Treaty
,
was
onely
to
obtain
a
Trust
from
him
,
and
not
to
take
any
advantage
by
passing
them
to
force
other
things
from
him
,
which
are
either
against
his
Conscience
or
Honour
;
yet
his
Majesty
believes
it's
clear
to
all
understandings
,
that
these
Bills
contain
(
as
they
are
now
Penned
)
not
onely
the
devesting
himself
of
all
Soveraignty
,
and
that
without
possibility
of
recovering
it
,
either
to
him
or
his
Successors
(
except
by
repeal
of
these
Bills
)
but
also
the
making
his
Concessions
guilty
of
the
greatest
pressures
that
can
be
made
upon
the
Subject
,
as
in
other
particulars
,
so
by
giving
an
Arbitrary
and
unlimited
power
to
the
two
Houses
for
ever
,
to
raise
and
levy
,
for
Land
and
Sea-service
,
of
what
persons
(
without
distinction
and
quality
)
and
to
what
numbers
they
please
;
and
likewise
for
the
payment
of
the
Arrears
,
to
levy
what
monies
,
in
such
sort
,
and
by
such
ways
and
means
,
(
and
consequently
upon
the
Estates
of
whatsoever
persons
)
as
they
shall
think
fit
and
appoint
;
which
is
utterly
inconsistent
with
the
Liberty
and
Property
of
the
Subject
,
and
his
Majesties
Trust
in
Protecting
them
:
so
that
if
the
major
part
of
both
Houses
shall
think
it
necessary
to
put
the
rest
of
the
Propositions
into
Bills
,
his
Majesty
leaves
the
world
to
judge
how
unsafe
it
would
be
for
him
to
Consent
thereunto
;
and
if
not
,
what
a
strange
condition
(
after
passing
those
four
Bills
)
his
Majesty
and
all
his
Subjects
would
be
cast
into
.
And
here
his
Majesty
thinks
it
not
unfit
,
to
wish
his
two
Houses
to
consider
well
of
the
manner
of
their
proceeding
;
That
when
his
Majesty
desires
a
personal
Treaty
with
them
for
the
setling
of
a
Peace
,
they
in
answer
propose
the
very
subject
matter
of
the
most
essential
part
thereof
,
to
be
first
granted
;
a
thing
which
will
be
hardly
credible
to
posterity
:
Wherefore
his
Majesty
Declares
,
That
neither
the
desire
of
being
freed
from
this
tedious
and
irksome
condition
of
life
his
Majesty
hath
so
long
suffered
,
nor
the
apprehension
of
what
shall
befal
him
in
case
his
two
Houses
shall
not
afford
him
a
personal
Treaty
,
shall
make
him
change
his
Resolution
of
not-consenting
to
any
Act
,
till
the
whole
be
concluded
.
Yet
then
he
intends
not
onely
to
give
just
and
reasonable
satisfaction
in
the
particulars
presented
to
him
;
but
also
to
make
good
all
other
Concessions
mentioned
in
his
Message
of
the
16
of
Novemb.
last
,
which
he
thought
would
have
produced
better
effects
,
than
what
he
finds
in
the
Bills
and
Propositions
now
presented
unto
him
.
And
yet
his
Majesty
cannot
give
over
,
His
Majesty
again
presseth
for
a
personal
Treaty
.
but
now
again
earnestly
presseth
for
a
personal
Treaty
,
(
so
passionately
is
he
affected
with
the
advantages
which
Peace
will
bring
to
his
Majesty
,
and
all
his
Subjects
)
of
which
he
will
not
at
all
despair
,
(
there
being
no
other
visible
way
to
obtain
a
well-grounded
Peace
.
)
However
his
Majesty
is
very
much
at
ease
within
himself
,
for
having
fulfilled
the
Offices
both
of
a
Christian
and
a
King
,
and
will
patiently
wait
the
good
pleasure
of
Almighty
God
,
to
incline
the
hearts
of
his
two
Houses
to
consider
their
King
,
and
Compassionate
their
fellow-Subjects
Miseries
.
Given

On
the
third
of
Ianuary
following
,
Sir
Thomas
Wroth
flies
high
,
and
inveighs
against
the
King
in
the
House
of
Commons
.
this
Answer
was
debated
in
the
House
of
Commons
.
And
first
Sir
Thomas
Wroth
had
his
Cue
(
set
by
the
Faction
)
to
run
high
,
and
to
feel
the
pulse
of
the
House
;
which
was
uttered
in
this
,
or
the
like
Expression
:
[
](A43206-e84210-b)*
*
The
History
of
Ind●pendency
,
p.
70.
That
Bedlam
was
appointed
for
Mad-men
,
and
Tophet
for
Kings
;
That
our
Kings
had
carried
themselves
of
late
as
if
they
were
fit
for
no
place
but
Bedlam
:
That
his
Humble
Motion
should
consist
of
three
parts
.
1.
To
secure
the
King
,
and
keep
him
in
some
close
Inland-Castle
with
Guards
.
2.
To
draw
up
Articles
of
Impeachment
against
him
.
3.
To
lay
him
by
,
and
settle
the
Kingdom
without
him
.
He
cared
not
what
Form
of
Government
they
set
up
,
so
it
were
not
by
Kings
and
Devils
.
—
Then
Commissary
Ireton
(
seeming
to
speak
the
sense
of
the
Army
,
under
the
notion
of
many
Godly
men
,
who
had
ventured
their
Lives
to
subdue
their
Enemies
)
said
after
this
manner
.
The
King
had
denied
Safety
and
Protection
to
his
People
,
He
is
seconded
by
Commisary
Ireton
.
by
denying
the
four
Bills
:
That
Subjection
to
him
,
was
but
in
lieu
of
his
Protection
to
his
People
;
this
being
denied
,
they
might
well
deny
any
more
Subjection
to
him
,
and
settle
the
Kingdom
without
him
.
That
it
was
now
expected
,
after
so
long
patience
,
they
should
shew
their
resolution
,
and
not
desert
those
Valiant
men
who
had
engaged
for
them
beyond
all
possibility
of
Retreat
,
and
would
never
forsake
the
Parliament
,
unless
the
Parliament
forsook
them
first
.
After
some
more
debate
,
when
the
House
was
ready
for
the
Question
,
Cromwel
brought
up
the
Rear
;
and
giving
an
ample
Character
of
the
Valour
,
good
affections
,
and
Godliness
of
the
Army
,
argued
,
That
it
was
now
expected
the
Parliament
should
Govern
and
Defend
the
Kingdom
by
their
own
power
and
resolutions
,
And
both
of
them
backed
by
Cromwel
.
and
not
teach
the
people
any
longer
to
expect
Safety
and
Government
from
an
Obstinate
Man
,
whose
heart
God
had
hardned
.
That
those
men
who
had
defended
the
Parliament
from
so
many
dangers
,
with
the
expence
of
their
blood
,
would
defend
them
herein
with
Fidelity
and
courage
against
all
opposition
.
Teach
them
not
,
by
neglecting
your
own
and
the
Kingdoms
safety
,
(
in
which
their
own
is
involved
)
to
think
themselves
betrayed
,
and
left
hereafter
to
the
Rage
and
Malice
of
an
irreconcileable
Enemy
,
whom
they
have
subdued
for
your
sake
,
and
therefore
are
likely
to
finde
his
future
Government
of
them
insupportable
,
and
fuller
of
Revenge
than
Iustice
;
Lest
despair
teach
them
to
seek
their
safety
by
some
other
means
then
adhering
to
you
,
who
will
not
stick
to
your selves
;
and
how
destructive
such
a
resolution
in
them
will
be
to
you
all
,
I
tremble
to
think
,
Who
laid
his
Hand
upon
his
Sword
;
not
long
before
baffled
by
Sir
Philip
Stapleton
.
and
leave
you
to
judge
.
—
At
the
latter
end
of
this
contrived
Speech
,
he
laid
his
Hand
upon
his
Sword
,
that
Sword
which
by
his
side
could
not
keep
him
from
Trembling
,
when
Sir
Philip
Stapleton
some
while
before
baffled
him
in
the
House
of
Commons
.
Now
we
discover
these
two
Matchiavels
,
avowing
in
a
manner
their
ends
and
designes
,
which
they
had
hitherto
cloaked
by
fair
pretences
to
the
King
,
and
charged
upon
the
Adjutators
:
And
henceforward
we
shall
see
them
using
all
manner
of
scelerate
practises
to
promote
their
Conspiracie
.
This
bold
Harangue
and
Menace
so
far
availed
them
,
that
the
Parliament
over-awed
therewith
,
after
a
long
debate
,
from
9
in
the
morning
till
night
,
upon
the
first
of
the
ensuing
Votes
,
the
House
being
divided
,
141
Yeas
,
to
91
Noes
,
came
to
these
following
Resolutions
;
the
other
three
,
except
the
last
,
being
carried
more
easily
:
They
were
prefaced
with
a
short
Declaration
(
yet
of
twelve
days
deliberation
)
dated

of

into
this
Charge

They
would
fain
have
made
use
also
of
that
Story
of
the
Plaister
applied
to
King
Iames
by
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
;
but
their
subornation
failing
,
which
was
attempted
by
Sir
Arthur
Haselrig's
Brother
,
who
produced
one
Smalling
for
that
purpose
,
who
dis●ppointed
them
,
as
to
the
Papers
he
was
said
to
have
as
proofs
thereof
,
(
it
being
a
most
notorious
lye
)
they
let
that
falshood
alone
,
and
betook
themselves
to
more
plausible
,
yet
self-guilty
criminations
.
But
all
these
devices
and
fig-leaves
could
not
hide
the
guilt
of
their
actions
;
the
people
every
were
loathing
to
be
abused
any
longer
with
these
fictions
of
misgovernment
,
when
they
perceived
what
masters
of
misrule
they
had
proved
themselves
.
This
the
Grandees
found
at
some
conferences
with
the
City
,
whom
still
they
thought
to
have
befooled
and
sweetned
out
of
their
money
,
but
soon
saw
they
were
mistaken
.
The
Art
of
perswasion
had
lost
its
power
;
and
plain
force
,
if
any
thing
,
was
to
be
used
;
which
as
the
case
stood
,
they
durst
not
venture
:
for
the
Town
was
full
of
rage
and
madness
▪
and
expected
but
the
first
blow
.
However
,
the
richer
sort
reserved
themselves
,
as
equally
slaves
to
the
Army
and
Riches
.
From
this
difficulty
therefore
they
turn
to
a
more
facile
undertaking
,
hoping
to
delude
the
King
,
whom
his
hard
restraint
could
not
but
have
softned
to
their
hands
:
Col.
Hamond
tu●●s
away
his
Majesties
Servants
.
and
though
Colonel
Hamond
upon
the
delivery
of
the
Kings
Answer
to
the
Propositions
to
the
Commissioners
,
had
turned
away
His
Majesties
Servants
,
and
made
Him
a
close
prisoner
,
(
telling
the
King
,
who
demanded
the
reason
of
it
,
The
King

cl●se
Prisoner
.
that
He
was
acted
by
ill
Counsels
to
the
destruction
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
that
He
did
it
by
Authority
of
Parliament
,
before
they
knew
the
said
Answer
,
which
the
King
said
they
would
never
reply
to
)
yet
was
he
now
employed
by
Cromwel
,
during
the
force
of
these
Votes
,
to
make
new
Offers
to
the
King
from
the
Army
,
the
drift
being
to
get
Him
to
own
the
Army
,
as
He
had
formerly
done
against
the
Parliament
,
till
by
that
means
His
Friends
reposing
themselves
likewise
on
their
integrity
,
and
the
people
also
amused
,
they
might
of
a
sudden
irresistibly
destroy
Him
.
To
this
purpose
they
cajoled
Colonel
Ashburnham
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Berkley
,
whom
Hamond
yet
retained
about
the
Kings
Person
,
to
convey
their
poyson
of
perfidy
more
unsuspectedly
into
the
King
;
and
the
Earl
of
Southampton
was
likewise
dealt
withal
;
but
he
better
understood
them
,
and
declined
all
manner
of
commerce
or
correspondence
with
them
,
having
had
the
advantages
of
liberty
,
and
opportunity
of
prying
into
the
Cabal
.
Several
persons
were
employed
as
Messengers
in
this
transaction
,
who
were
never
questioned
or
punished
,
as
the
Resolves
had
declared
.
Very
many
,
as
was
said
before
,
were
the
discontents
of
the
people
against
the
Parliament
,
ready
,
but
for
fear
of
the
Army
,
to
burst
out
into
Insurrections
;
when
the
near
sense
of
the
Kings
Captivity
,
whose
sighs
were
imagined
to
be
heard
in
the
Island
,
so
affected

upon

going

transported
himself
into

from

(
not
long
after
)
back
again
into

by
the

Commission

mentioned
Forces

some
recruits

and
other
broken
Troops
of
the
Marquesses
,
amounting
in
all
to
3000.
Colonel
Iones
resolved
to
march
against
the
Irish
,
who
under
the
Lord
Preston
,
within
12
miles
of
Dublin
,
Col.
Jones

met
him
at

totally
routed
him
,
killing
many
,
and
taking
some
few
prisoners
,
the
rest
escaping
with
difficulty
to
Dublin
.
The
Parliament
had
undertaken
the
War
,
and
were
therefore
troubled
at
this
unsuccessful
beginning
;

they
presently
re-inforced

met
with
the

Enemy
again
,
and
neer
Trim
utterly
defeated
him
,
crying
over
and
above
quits
with
him
for
his
last
defeat
.
After
his

had
discomfited
the
two
Wings

by

Valour

their

Battle

followed

slaughter

This
slaughter
(
one

Upon

Victory
twenty
several
places
yielded
themselves
to

,
who
omitted
not
to
prosecute
his
success
,
till
the
Winter
summoned
him
to
his
quarters
at

to

for
a
speedy
composure
with

forthwith
joyned
his
Forces
with
the
said
Lord
Taaf
,
who
with
a
part

Catholick
Army
had
declared
solely

This
spoiled
all

being

The
Independent
party
Proposed
to
unite
all
Interests
in
the
Houses
,
City
,
and
Army
;
and
Cromwel
made
a
Speech
in
Parliament
to
that
purpose
,
but
was
snapt
up
by
a
Member
,
That
they
were
chosen
and
trusted
by
the
people
to
pursue
one
Common
interest
,
and
Common
good
,
Safety
and
Liberty
of
the
People
;
and
whosoever
had
any
peculiar
Interest
eccentrick
from
that
,
was
not
fit
to
Sit
in
that
Assembly
,
and
deserved
to
be
called
to
a
strict
account
by
those
that
trusted
him
.
And
one
of
Cromwels
Agents
,
Mr.
Glover
,
was
employed
to
the
City
on
the
same
errand
,
who
offered
them
the
release
of
their
Aldermen
,
then
Prisoners
,
and
the
setting
up
their
Fosts
and
Chains
,
upon
a
mutual
agreement
;
which
the
City
likewise
generously
rejected
,
as
foreseeing
the
Scots
Invasion
;
and
therefore
denyed
any
correspondency
with
them
;
upbraiding
them
with
their
past
actions
,
and
reiterated
Violences
.
Cromwel
was
troubled
at
this
rejectment
;
Cromwel
troubled
thereat
.
but
resuming
his
wonted
impudence
,
taxed
his
Agents
by
what
Authority
they
had
made
that
Overture
;
who
producing
his
own
,
he
falsly
renounced
it
.
Yet
the
plot
ceased
not
here
;
his
implacable
malice
cast
about
presently
another
way
to
effect
his
mischievous
intent
against
the
City
;
of
which

had
answer

They

In
the

comes
an
angry
and
expostulating
Declaration
from
Scotland
,
where
,
as
usual
,
the
Covenant
was
mentioned

with
such
scorn
received

so
opprobriously
vilified

that
of

might

reward
of

restore

condition
is

we
have
elegantly

himself

in

His
Majesties
elegant
Declaration
in
Answer

the
Votes
of
no
further
Addresses

AM
I
thus
laid
aside
?
and
must
I
not
speak
for
my self
?
No
,
I
will
speak
,
and
that
to
all
my
people
,
(
which
I
would
rather
have
done
by
the
way
of
my
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
but
that
there
is
a
publike
Order
neither
to
make
Addresses
to
,
nor
receive
Message
from
me
.
)
And
who
but
you
,
can
be
Iudge
of
the
Difference
betwixt
me
and
my
two
Houses
?
I
know
none
else
:
for
I
am
sure
it
is
you
,
who
will
enjoy
the
happiness
,
or
feel
the
misery
of
good
or
ill
Government
;
and
we
all
pretend
who
shall
run
fastest
to
serve
you
,
without
having
a
regard
(
at
least
in
the
first
place
)
to
particular
Interests
.
And
therefore
I
desire
you
to
consider
the
state
I
am
and
have
been
in
this
long
time
,
and
whether
my
Actions
have
more
tended
to
the
publike
,
or
my
own
particular
good
.
For
whosoever
will
look
upon
me
barely
as
I
am
a
man
,
without
the
liberty
(
which
the
meanest
of
my
Subjects
enjoys
)
of
going
whither
,
and
conversing
with
whom
I
will
;
as
a
Husband
and
a
Father
,
without
the
comfort
of
my
Wife
and
Children
;
or
lastly
,
as
a
King
,
without
the
least
shew
of
Authority
or
power
to
protect
my
distressed
Subjects
;
must
conclude
me
,
not
only
void
of
all
natural
Affection
,
but
also
to
want
Common
Vnderstanding
,
if
I
should
not
most
chearfully
embrace
the
readiest
way
to
the
settlement
of
these
distracted
Kingdoms
.
As
also
on
the
other
side
,
do
but
consider
the
Form
and
Draught
of
the
Bills
lately
presented
to
me
,
and
as
they
are
the
conditions
of
a
Treaty
,
ye
will
conclude
,
that
the
same
spirit
which
hath
still
been
able
to
frustrate
all
my
sincere
and
constant
endeavours
for
Peace
,
hath
had
a
powerfull
influence
on
this
Message
:
for
though
I
am
ready
to
grant
the
substance
,
and
comply
with
what
they
seem
to
desire
;
yet
,
as
they
had
framed
it
,
I
could
not
agree
thereunto
without
deeply
wounding
my
Conscience
and
Honour
,
and
betraying
the
Trust
reposed
in
me
,
by
abandoning
my
people
to
the
Arbitrary
and
Vnlimited
Power
of
the
two
Houses
for
ever
,
for
the
levying
and
maintaining
of
Land
and
Sea-Forces
,
without
distinction
of
quality
,
or
limitation
for
Money
and
Taxes
.
And
if
I
could
have
passed
them
in
terms
,
how
unheard-of
a
condition
were
it
for
a
Treaty
,
to
grant
before-hand
the
most
considerable
part
of
the
Subject
Matter
?
How
ineffectual
were
that
debate
like
to
prove
,
wherein
the
most
potent
Party
had
nothing
left
to
ask
,
and
the
other
nothing
more
to
give
?
so
consequently
how
hopeless
of
mutual
compliance
?
without
which
,
a
settlement
is
impossible
.
Besides
,
if
after
my
Concessions
,
the
two
Houses
shall
insist
on
those
things
from
which
I
cannot
depart
,
how
desperate
would
the
condition
of
these
Kingdoms
be
,
when
the
most
proper
and
approved
Remedy
should
become
ineffectual
?
Being
therefore
fully
resolved
,
that
I
could
neither
in
Conscience
,
Honour
,
or
Prudence
pass
those
four
Bills
,
I
only
endeavoured
to
make
the
reasons
and
justice
of
my
denial
to
appear
to
all
the
world
,
as
they
do
to
me
,
intending
to
give
as
little
dissatisfaction
to
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
(
without
betraying
my
own
Cause
)
as
the
matter
would
bear
.
I
was
desirous
to
give
my
Answer
of
the
28
of
December
last
to
the
Commissioners
sealed
(
as
I
had
done
others
heretofore
,
and
sometimes
at
the
desire
of
the
Commissioners
)
chiefly
because
when
my
Messages
and
Answers
were
publikely
known
before
they
were
read
in
the
Houses
,
prejudicial
interpretations
were
forced
on
them
,
much
differing
,
and
sometimes
contrary
to
my
meaning
.
For
example
,
my
Answer
from
Hampton-Court
was
accused
of
dividing
the
two
Nations
,
because
I
promised
to
give
satisfaction
to
the
Scots
in
all
things
concerning
that
Kingdom
;
and
this
last
suffers
in
a
contrary
sense
,
by
making
me
intend
to
interest
Scotland
in
the
Laws
of
this
Kingdom
,
(
the
which
nothing
is
or
was
further
from
my
Thoughts
)
because
I
took
notice
of
the
Scots
Commissioners
protesting
against
the
Bills
and
Propositions
,
as
contrary
to
the
Interests
and
Engagements
of
the
two
Kingdoms
.
Indeed
,
if
I
had
not
mentioned
their
dissent
,
an
Objection
,
not
without
some
probability
,
might
have
been
made
against
me
,
both
in
respect
the
Scots
are
much
concerned
in
the
Bill
for
the
Militia
,
and
several
other
Propositions
,
and
my
silence
might
seem
to
approve
of
it
.
But
the
Commissioners
refusing
to
receive
my
Answer
sealed
,
I
(
upon
the
Engagement
of
theirs
and
the
Governours
Honour
,
that
no
other
use
should
be
made
or
notice
taken
of
it
,
than
as
if
it
had
not
been
seen
)
read
and
delivered
it
open
unto
them
;
whereupon
what
hath
since
passed
,
either
by
the
Governour
in
discharging
most
of
my
servants
,
redoubling
the
Guards
,
and
restraining
me
of
my
former
liberty
,
(
and
all
this
,
as
himself
confest
,
meerly
out
of
his
own
dislike
of
my
Answer
,
notwithstanding
his
beforesaid
Engagement
;
)
or
afterwards
by
the
two
Houses
,
as
the
Governour
affirms
,
in
confining
me
within
the
circuit
of
this
Castle
;
I
appeal
to
God
and
the
World
,
whether
my
said
Answer
deserved
the
Reply
of
such
Proceedings
;
besides
the
the
unlawfulness
for
Subjects
to
Imprison
their
King
.
That
by
the
permission
of
Almighty
God
I
am
reduced
to
this
sad
condition
,
at
which
as
I
no
way
repine
,
so
I
am
not
without
hope
,
but
that
the
same
God
will
in
due
time
convert
these
afflictions
unto
my
advantage
.
In
the
mean
time
,
I
am
content
to
bear
those
crosses
with
Patience
,
and
a
great
equality
of
minde
.
But
by
what
means
or
occasion
I
am
come
to
this
relapse
in
my
affairs
,
I
am
utterly
to
seek
;
especially
,
when
I
consider
that
I
have
sacrificed
to
my
two
Houses
of
Parliament
(
for
the
Peace
of
my
Kingdoms
)
all
,
but
what
is
much
more
dear
to
me
than
my
Life
,
my
Conscience
and
Honour
;
desiring
nothing
more
,
than
to
perform
it
in
the
most
proper
and
natural
way
,
A
Personal
Treaty
.
But
that
which
makes
me
most
at
a
loss
,
is
,
the
remembring
my
signal
comply
〈◊〉
with
the
Army
and
their
Interests
,
and
of
what
importance
my
com●●yance
was
to
them
,
and
their
often-repeated
Professions
and
Enga●●●●●ts
for
my
just
Rights
in
general
,
at
New-Market
,
and
Saint
〈◊〉
and
their
particular
Explanations
of
these
generals
,
by
〈…〉
and
Revoted
Proposals
,
which
I
had
reason
to
understand
〈…〉
utmost
extremity
would
be
expected
from
me
,
and
that
in
〈…〉
therein
I
should
be
eased
,
(
herein
appealing
to
the
Conscien●●
〈◊〉
●●me
of
the
chiefest
Officers
in
the
Army
,
if
what
I
have
said
be
not
punctually
true
)
and
how
I
have
failed
of
their
expectations
,
or
my
professions
to
them
,
I
challenge
them
and
the
whole
World
to
produce
the
least
colour
of
reason
.
And
now
I
would
know
what
it
is
that
is
desired
:
Is
it
Peace
?
I
have
shewed
the
way
,
(
being
both
willing
and
desirous
to
perform
my
part
in
it
)
which
is
a
just
complyance
with
all
chief
Interests
.
Is
it
Plenty
and
Happiness
?
they
are
the
inseparable
effects
of
Peace
.
Is
it
Security
?
I
,
who
wish
all
men
would
forget
and
forgive
like
me
,
have
offered
the
Militia
for
my
time
.
Is
it
Liberty
of
Conscience
?
He
who
wants
it
,
is
most
ready
to
give
it
.
Is
it
the
right
Administration
of
Iustice
?
Offices
of
Trust
are
committed
to
the
choice
of
my
two
Houses
of
Parliament
.
Is
it
the
Arrears
of
the
Army
?
Vpon
a
settlement
they
will
certainly
be
paid
with
much
ease
;
but
before
,
there
will
be
found
much
difficulty
,
if
not
impossibility
in
it
.
Thus
all
the
World
cannot
but
see
my
real
and
unwearied
Endeavours
for
Peace
,
the
which
(
by
the
Grace
of
God
)
I
shall
neither
repent
me
of
,
nor
ever
be
slackned
in
,
notwithstanding
my
past
,
present
,
or
future
sufferings
:
But
if
I
may
not
be
heard
,
let
every
one
judge
,
who
it
is
that
obstructs
the
good
I
would
or
might
do
.
What
is
it
that
men
are
afraid
to
hear
from
me
?
It
cannot
be
Reason
(
at
least
,
none
will
declare
themselves
so
unreasonable
as
to
confess
it
;
)
and
it
can
less
be
impertinent
or
unreasonable
discourses
,
for
thereby
peradventure
I
might
more
justifie
this
my
Restraint
than
the
Causers
themselves
can
do
:
so
that
of
all
wonders
,
this
yet
is
the
greatest
to
me
.
But
it
may
be
easily
gathered
hence
,
how
these
men
intend
to
govern
,
who
have
used
me
thus
.
And
if
it
be
my
hard
sate
to
fall
together
with
the
Liberty
of
this
Kingdom
,
I
shall
not
blush
for
my self
,
but
much
lament
the
future
miseries
of
my
People
,
the
which
I
shall
still
pray
to
God
to
avert
,
whatever
becomes
of
me
.
C.
R.
So
we
have
attained
the
end
of
this
bustling
year
,
the
23
of
King
Charles
the
first
,
wherein
the
Pen
laboured
more
than
the
Sword
,
and
the
politick
Matchiavel-Head
of
the
Army
combated
all
opposition
with
the
same
success
as
their
victorious
Arms
lately
before
;
their
power
now
appearing
Paramount
,
and
from
whence
the
Kingdoms
were
to
expect
their
future
Government
,
unless
they
could
be
able
to
master
and
disperse
that
Formidable
Host
,
now
joyntly
and
unanimously
concurring
with
their
aspiring
and
Rebel-Leaders
.
And
behold
,
the
next
year
gives
us
a
proof
of
a
noble
and
gallant
Attempt
for
the
recovery
of
Englands
Majesty
,
Liberty
and
Safety
;

Anno
Dom.
1648.
THat
the
beginning
of
this
calamitous
and
black
year
might
correspond
and
suit
with
its
end
,
(
as
the
annual
revolution
thereof
was
never
better
assimilated
,
than
by
the
antient
Hieroglyphick
of
a
Serpent
rounding
its
tail
to
its
Mouth
;
the
Serpentine
windings
of
this
monstrous
Rebellion
,
terminating
at
the
Head
of
their
most
sacred
Soverain
)
the
Grandees
of
the
Faction
following
that
State-principle
,
That
it
is
as
great
prudence
to
keep
as
to
win
an
Empire
,
resolved
to
put
out
(
as
the
accursed
Philistins
did
to
Sampson
)
the
eyes
of
the
Kingdom
,
that
so
they
might
make
sport
with
our
Laws
,
Franchises
,
and
Priviledges
,
and
then
ruine
and
fatally
destroy
us
;
at
last
separating
the
Head
from
the
Body
Politick
,
in
their
ensuing
monstrous
Regicide
.

under
the
notion
and
term
of
a
Visitation
of
the
University
of
Oxford
,
(
whereby
Authority
from
the
Parliament
was
delegated
to
certain
Inquisitors
,
such
as
were
mancipated
to
their
interest
,
of

some

)
Philip
Earl
of
Pembroke
,
with
the
Stile
and
Title
of
Chancellour
of
the
said
University
.
)
The
aforesaid
persons
proceeded
to
the
ejectment
of
above
two
thirds
of
the
Heads
,
Fellows
,
and
Students
of
the
respective
Colledges
,
the
most
eminent
for
Learning
,
and
Piety
,
and
Duty
to
the
Church
,
and
Loyal
obedience
to
His
Majesty
;
for
no
other
reason
,
but
that
they
would
not
subscribe
and
recognize
,
that
the
two
pretended
Houses
had
any
Right
or
Authority
to
visit
that
University
;
which
by
the
known
antient
Statutes
thereof
,
and
the
Laws
of
the
Land
,
is
invested
only
in
the
King
,
and
such
as
He
from
time
to
time
shall
depute
thereunto
.
By
this
most
wicked
practise
and
Dilemma
,
of
either
ruining
men
,
or
violating
their
Conscience
,
they
had
nearly
barbarized
those
Fountains
of
Learning
;
with
no
less
rage
and
fury
inveighing
against
those
Confessors
of
the
Royal
Cause
,
than
the
Goths
did
to
Old
Rome
,
sparing
neither
young
nor
old
;
even
very
Children
,
such
of
16
years
,
being
outed
of
their
places
,
upon
the
same
score
,
and
under
pain
of
death
,
(
having
endured
a
civil
death
already
)
by
posting
up
their
names
at
St.
Maries
Church-Gates
,
Commanded
within
24
Hours
to
depart
that
City
,
or
to
be
taken
and
proceeded
against
as
Spies
.
It
will
indeed
rather
require
an
Elegie
,
or
some
Satyrical
Lamentation
,
than
an
History
;
though
I
could
not
pass
it
,
out
of
reverence
I
owe
my
Mother
,
and
having
but
slightly
touched
the
same
rudenesses
done
to
Her
Sister
of
Cambridge
by
Cromwel
and
his
Complices
;
and
out
of
commiseration
to
those
Noble
persons
that
suffered
this
persecution
,
who
(
though
perhaps
the
Commonwealth
may
recover
this
loss
by
timely
recruits
of
Literature
)
do
no
doubt
irremediably
rue
this
their
violent
Revulsion
out
of
that
Bosome
,
where
they
might
and
ought
to
have
been
cherished
to
a
competent
vigour
,
enabling
them
to
serve
the
Commonwealth
,
and
their
own
thus
enforced
necessities
:

Sed
quo

?
By
these
and
the
like
distempers
and
pains
in
every
part
of
it
,
England
began
now
to
be
Heart-sick
;
and
those
ambulatory
running
Humours
which
spread
through
the
whole
mass
of
the
people
,
to
Center
at
last
in
the
Metropolis
,
the
City
of
London
;
which
had
more
successfully
broke
out
,
but
for
the
opposition
it
met
with
from
the
then
Lord
Mayor
,
Alderman
Warner
,
Pennington's
own
second
,
Alderman
Warner
Lord
Mayor
of
London
,
a
factious
person
.
a
Factious
and
Seditious
person
,
who
discountenanced
it
by
the
Authority
of
his
place
,
appearing
at
the
first
hubbub
thereof
openly
against
it
.
The
manner
was
as
followeth
.
On
the
9
of
April
,
being
the
Lords-day
,
a
number
of
Apprentices
(
as
was
usual
)
were
playing
in
Moor-fields
,
A
Tumu●t
and
Insurrection
is
London
by
the
Boys
and
Prentices
,
Apr.
9.
in
the
afternoon
;
(
for
the
Parliament
had
abrogated
all
H●lydays
,
and
by
a
venerable
Order
had
appointed
one
day
in
every
Month
for
their
Recreation
,
in
lieu
of
those
Festivals
,
after
much
coil
and
many
elaborate
Petitions
,
and
reference
to
,
and
reports
from
Committees
of
both
Houses
concerning
them
)
which
being
told
to
a
Company
of
Trained-Bands
then
upon
the
Guards
,
whose
Officers
were
some
precise
Schismaticks
,
they
came
into
the
Fields
,
and
commanded
them
to
depart
;
which
they
refusing
or
delaying
,
they
fired
some
Pieces
at
them
:
whereupon
the
Boys
incensed
,
took
up
Stones
,
and
couragiously
fell
upon
them
,
and
routed
them
,
taking
from
them
their
Ensign
,
which
in
a
tumultuous
and
childish
bravery
they
marched
with
into
the
City
;
and
being
increased
with
additions
like
themselves
,
affronted
the
Mayor
,
and
made
him
hastily
retire
to
his
own
House
for
Sanctuary
,
whither
they
followed
him
,
and
seized
on
one
of
the
Drakes
he
had
planted
for
his
defence
,
and
thence
marched
to
the
several
Gates
,
which
they
likewise
secured
;
more
especially
Ludgate
,
which
lay
neerest
their
Enemy
the
Army
,
who
were
then
quartered
at
White-Hall
and
the
Mews
,
they
guarded
with
the
same
Drake
:
The
City
remaining
the
rest
of
that
day
and
night
in
great
terrour
and
confusion
,
the
Rabblé
crying
out
for
God
and
King
Charles
;
but
no
Person
of
Quality
undertaking
their
Conduct
,
or
to
bring
them
into
Order
and
Discipline
.
In
the
mean
while
,
the
Army-Guards
take
the
Alarm
;
and
conceiving
it
dangerous
to
venture
into
the
City
by
night
,
kept
themselves
in
a
readiness
for
the
morning
,
when
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
himself
entred
by
Aldersgate
with
Horse
and
Foot
,
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
with
part
of
the
Army
enters
,
quells
it
,
and
disperseth

.
who
fell
a
scouring
the
Streets
,
and
driving
this
unarmed
and
ungoverned
Multitude
before
them
,
wounding
and
killing
divers
innocent
persons
,
Men
,
Women
,
and
Children
,
in
a
cruel
and
hostile
manner
,
until
they
came
to
Leaden-hall
,
where
the
Apprentices
entred
,
and
endeavoured
to
maintain
it
:
But
the
avenues
thereof
being
found
defenceless
,
and
themselves
not
strong
enough
,
besides
want
of
necessaries
requisite
thereunto
,
they
wisely
(
and
more
prudently
than
any
thing
they
did
before
)
slipt
away
and
shifted
for
themselves
,
few
or
none
falling
into
the
Armies
hand
;
but
some
upon
enquiry
afterward
,
in
the
beginning
of
the
Commonwealth
,
were
discovered
,
and
arrained
of
High
Treason
,
for
levying
War
,
&c.
Two
of
whom
,
a
Vintner
and
a
Meal-man
,
Kensey
and
Matthews
,
were
convicted
and
condemned
;
but
by
the
mediation
of
Alderman
Tichborn
(
one
of
the
best
deeds
likewise
he
ever
did
)
were
reprieved
,
Kensey
and
Matthews
,
the
one
a
Vintner
,
the
other
a
Meal-man
,
condemned
;
but
reprieved
by
the
mediation
of
Alderman
Tichborn
,
and
afterwards
pardoned
.
and
by
the
same
means
at
last
pardoned
,
and
assumed
by
him
,
for
a
demonstration
of
his
goodness
,
to
be
the
guard
to
his
person
on
publike
Trayning
days
.
This
Insurrection
,
or
Riot
rather
,
was
quickly
noised
to
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
Nation
,
where
it
was
reported
and
received
with
great
advantage
,
as
we
usually
fancy
and
credit
what
we
expect
;
to
the
encouraging
of
all
honest
people
to
rise
now
and
follow
this
example
,
and
redeem
and
rescue
their
Religion
,
Laws
,
Lives
and
Liberties
now
at
stake
:
for
neither
the
several
nor
united
practices
of
Parliament
and
Army
,
Presbyterian
nor
Independents
,
could
impose
upon
them
any
longer
.
Nor
was
there
an
easie
belief
given
to
this
check
of
that
Tumult
,
but
was
supposed
an
Artifice
,
and
one
of
their
old
Lies
,
with
which
they
stuffed
their
News-Books
;
since
the
whole
Nation
saw
how
they
had
irritated
the
City
by
their
insolent
carriage
towards
them
,
in
changing
their
Militia
,
&c.
so
that
it
was
undoubtable
they
would
embrace
and
improve
the
first
opportunity
.
Whereupon
,
Col.
Laughorn
Poyer
and
Powel
,
rise
for
the
King
in
Wales
,
th●y
secure
Pembroke
and
Tenby
Castles
.
as
the
next
Scene
of
this
years
Tragedy
,
Colonel
Laughorn
,
Poyer
and
Powel
,
who
had
done
notable
service
for
the
Parliament
in
Wales
,
rose
in
Pembroke-shire
and
Flint-shire
,
to
neer
the
number
of
8000
men
.
They
had
been
by
the
Council
of
the
Army
(
which
was
Authorized
always
by
the
Parliament
)
ordered
to
disband
,
(
as
being
men
of
better
and
surer
principles
than
they
durst
confide
in
,
in
order
to
their
subsequent
designs
)
which
they
understanding
the
drift
of
,
refused
,
and
flew
to
their
Arms
;
and
for
the
strengthening
of
their
Party
,
Declare
for
the
settlement
of
the
King
and
Kingdom
;
and
gave
notice
to
the
Prince
,
who
then
issued
out
Commissions
as
General
for
his
Father
,
of
their
intentions
and
present
posture
,
having
secured
●enby-Castle
,
and
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Pembroke
,
to
the
same
end
.
This
sudden
and
threatning
defection
put
the
Juncto
at
Derby-house
to
their
dumps
,
when
another
Express
brought
news
that
the
like
effects
were
to
be
looked
for
from
North-Wales
,
Chopstow
-
Castle
〈…〉
●●cholas
Kemish
:
and
Si●
John
Owen
〈…〉
for
the
King
in
North-Wales
.
where
Sir
Iohn
Owen
was
risen
with
a
Force
,
and
had
def●ated
and
taken
Prisoner
the
High-Sheriff
that
opposed
him
;
and
that
Sir
Nicholas
Kemish
(
an
eminent
Cavalier
)
had
likewise
surprized
Chepstow-Castle
;
so
tha●
all
Wales
was
like
to
be
lost
,
without
a
blow
strucken
,
from
the
late
Conquerors
,
who
therefore
hastened
away
Forces
to
re-establish
their
Dominion
,
and
suppress
these
dangerous
beginnings
.
Over
these
Colonel
Horton
was
now
Commissioned
,
for
the
reducing
those
new
and
old
Royalists
;
Col.
H●rton
sent
to
〈◊〉
them
.
Cromwel
being
(
if
occasion
should
require
)
preparing
to
second
him
.
Horton
with
the
Stafford
and
Worcester-Forces
,
and
part
of
the
Army
quartering
thereabouts
,
advanceth
against
Laughorne
,
his
whole
power
consisting
of
not
above
3000
men
;
with
whom
making
more
hast
than
good
speed
,
Col.
Fleming
Commands
a
party
against
the
Royalists
:
he
is
set
upon
and
routed
,
lays
violent
hands
on
himself
,
and
dieth
.
a
party
thereof
being
under
the
Command
of
Colonel
Fleming
,
fell
unawares
into
an
Ambuscado
,
and
were
most
of
them
cut
off
;
the
rest
sheltring
themselves
in
a
neighbouring
Church
,
were
forced
to
render
at
discretion
:
which
Fleming
seeing
,
and
despairing
that
he
should
be
able
to
answer
this
oversight
at
a
Council
of
War
,
or
for
some
other
cause
,
laid
violent
hands
upon
himself
,
and
so
dyed
.
Horton
no
way
daunted
with
this
inauspicious
entrance
,
marched
up
and
faced
the
Enemy
,
who
shewed
themselves
upon
the
hills
and
places
of
advantage
,
making
their
Hubbubs
to
call
the
Country
to
their
assistance
.
In
their
descent
whence
into
more
even
ground
,
the
Parliamentarians
desperately
Engaged
with
them
,
no
way
prepared
,
or
thinking
of
fighting

day

who
was
then
on
his
way
)
and
having
laid
an
Ambuscado
behind
some
Shrubs
and
Hedges
in
a
Meadow
,
did
so
gall
and
terrifie
these
raw
and
undisciplined
Britons
,
that
they
could
not
be
made
to
stand
,
or
to
keep
any
order
,
but
annoyed
their
fellows
,
and
gave
the
Parliament-Horse
opportunity
to
engage
their
whole
Body
;
which
being
vigorously
prosecuted
and
maintained
,
the
whole
Army
ran
,
some
1500
killed
,
500
Officers
,
besides
3000
Prisoners
taken
,
with
all
their
Ammunition

But
the
chief
Officers
,
and
ablest
Souldiers
,
got
some
into
Tenby
,
and
others
into
Pembroke
,
whither
Cromwel
came
presently
,
and
Besieged
them
both
.
In
his
advance
whither
,
that
he
might
not
give
Sir
Nicholas
Kemish
leave
or
leisure
,
and
time
to
nestle
in
his
acquisition
,
he
sent
away
Colonel
Eure
to
attempt
him
;
who
having
a
sufficient
strength
,
resolved
forthwith
to
storm
Chepstow-Castle
,
(
having
before
Loyally
refused
all
manner
of
Treaty
)
which
successfully
was
attempted
,
Sir
Nich.
Kemish
killed
in
cold
blood
.
and
a
disastrous
slaughter
made
;
the
resolute
and
noble
Knight
being
killed
in
cold
blood
.
Sir
Jo
Owen'
s
Forces
suppressed
by
M.
Gen.
Mitton
,
and
himself
taken
.
Cromwel
joyns
with
Horton
:
Tenby
stormed
and
yieldeth
.
Sir
Iohn
Owen's
Forces
were
likewise
at
the
same
time
suppressed
by
Major-General
Mitton
,
and
himself
likewise
taken
prisoner
.
Cromwel
was
now
joyned
with
Horton
;
by
whose
united
Forces
,
Tenby
was
first
stormed
,
and
then
yielded
upon
discretion
;
but
Pembroke
was
a
harder
bit
,
being
naturally
and
artificially
well
fortified
,
and
as
well
manned
,
though
not
proportionably
stored
with
necessaries
;
and
two
or
three
Parliament-Ships
lay
before
the
Haven
to
keep
out
all
supply
,
if
the
Prince
should
have
endeavoured
it
,
who
was
then
at
Sea
;
of
which
presently
.
Pembroke
besieged
by
Oliver
Cromwel
.
But
Cromwel's
impatience
of
loitering
before
a
single
Town
,
in
a
corner
of
the
Kingdom
,
when
the
Scots
were
advancing
upon
the
same
account
with
the
besieged
into
England
,
put
him
upon
a
resolution
of
storming
it
;
to
which
glorious
and
facile
work
Hugh
Peters
by
his
Sermons
and
Stories
of
Iericho
animated
the
Souldiers
.
Hugh
Peters
encourageth
his
Souldiers
in
his
Sermon

Accordingly
Approaches
were
made
,
and
a
Line
drawn
round
,
within
Carbine-shot
of
the
Works
,
and
the
night
and
hour
appointed
for
their
falling
on
;
the
Horse
being
drawn
up
,
and
in
the
dark
got
close
under
the
Gates
,
to
be
ready
at
the
opening
of
them
by
their
Foot
when
entred
.
The
besieged
suspecting
this
stilness
of
the
Leaguer
would
and
in
a
Storm
,
had
as
closely
prepared
for
the
onset
;
just
about
the
time
thereof
,
calling
off
their
Guards
and
Centries
,
Pembroke
stormed
to
the
besiegers
loss
.
and
making
semblance
of
betaking
themselves
to
rest
;
when
with
great
fury
the
Parliament-Foot
fell
on
,
and
having
planted
their
Ladders
,
scaled
the
Works
,
the
Trenches
being
filled
with
men
like
to
a
swarm
of
Bees
,
making
hast
to
get
over
;
which
being
the
designed
advantage
,
the
Flankers
of
the
Town
discharged
all
their
Cannon
laden
with
Chain-shot
,
and
so
swept
the
Trenches
,
that
not
a
Ladder
was
standing
,
abundance
of
men
killed
and
maimed
,
and
left
therein
,
the
rest
forced
to
retreat
,
being
pelted
fore-right
from
the
Walls
,
and
those
that
were
entred
knockt
on
the
Head
,
some
few
onely
escaping
and
becoming
Prisoners
.
This
so
daunted
the
Army
,
that
Cromwel
thought
not
fit
to
expose
them
any
more
to
such
danger
,
but
to
block
and
starve
them
out
;
which
the
Besieged
perceiving
,
and
no
hopes
of
Relief
,
and
being
already
pinched
with
want
,
they
bethought
themselves
of
making
Conditions
in
time
,
while
the
late
Storm
was
yet
in
recent
memory
,
and
some
regard
had
to
their
strength
and
courage
,
and
while
Cromwel
was
himself
there
;
upon
which
account
they
entred
into
a
Treaty
,
But
at
length
delivered
.
whereby
Cromwel
was
too
hard
for
them
:
For
giving
good
terms
to
the
Souldiery
and
the
inferior
Officers
,
who
were
willing
to
accept
of
less
,
he
reserved
their
three
Leaders
to
discretion
,
and
some
Superiour
Commanders
to
two
years
Banishment
;
and
so
having
quieted
that
Welch
commotion
,
hastned
on
his
Expedition
against
the
Scots
.
While
all
things
appeared
now
ready
to
run
into
worser
and
more
desperate
mischiefs
,
equally
feared
from
a
new
War
,
and
that
cicatrized
and
more
perilous
Peace
we
had
rather
past
than
enjoyed
,
during
the
quarrelling
Intrigues
of
the
Independant
and
Presbyterian
parties
;

County
of
Essex
,

not
so
considerably

Peace
.
then
the
neighbouring
County
of
Surrey
,
thought
it
a
good
and
neighbourly
Office
to
the
Parliament
,
to
give
them
a
taste
(
in
fair
and
civil
language
,
and
peaceable
quiet
deportment
)
of
the
whole
Kingdoms
resentment
of
their
proceedings
with
the
King
,
that
so
without
any
more
effusion
of
blood
,
a
stop
might
be
put
to
those
threatning
evils
,
that
visibly
were
imminent
upon
the
Nation
.
To
this
purpose
,
a
calm
,
milde
,
and
rational
Petition
was
with
all
humility
,
and
without
any
tumultuous
disorder
(
attended
on
by
a
numerous
,
yet
civil
,
and
a
well-reputed
train
)
presented
to
the
two
Houses
on
the
16
of
May
,
by
the
hands
of
the
prime
Gentlemen
of
that
County
,
who
were
presently
ordered
to
withdraw
,
and
await
their
Answer
,
while
in
the
mean
time
the
Faction
gave
notice
to
the
Guards
at
White-hall
and
the
Mews
to
come
and
free
them
from
this
(
otherwise
unanswerable
)
Address
.
In
the
interim
,
the
Honest
Country-men
understanding
their
Answer
was
respited
,
The
Guards
of
the
Army
fall
upon
them
,
and
disperse
the●
.
and
that
the
chief
of
their
County
would
onely
be
admitted
to
receive
it
,
withdrew
themselves
to
several
Inns
in
Westminster
,
to
put
up
and
refresh
their
horses
and
themselves
,
where
they
found
the
Troopers
very
quarrelsom
,
and
telling
them
,
that
there
was
no
room
,
nor
scarce
accommodation
for
the
Army
;
which
made
most
of
them
go
into
the
Suburbs
;
when
presently
the
Guards
of
Janiza●ies
marched
in
haste
into
the
Hall
,
and
fell
a
hewing
and
cutting
(
without
any
expostulation
of
the
Petitioners
business
there
,
)
and
with
some
slaughter
,
some
are
killed
,
and
more
terrour
,
drove
them
into
the
Palace-yards
.
Among
the
rest
that
were
killed
,
was
the
Miller
of
Wandsworth
,
a
stout
Fellow
,
and
who
died
not
unrevenged
,
being
cut
and
run
through
with
a
Halbert
;
the
rest
scattered
and
dispersed
themselves
,
being
in
no
capacity
of
resistance
,
and
carried
home
their
Answer
for
Peace
,
written
in
the
red
Letters
of
their
Fellows
Blood
.
This
Petition
had
been
Subscribing
a
Month
before
,
and
much
order
and
exactness
used
therein
;
but
one
Rubrick
blot
dasht
it
into
nothing
:
the
Triumphant
Grandees
never
knew
the
ways
of
Peace
,
and
this
method
to
it
retorting
their
own
practices
in
the
beginning
of
our
troubles
,
was
most
distastful
;
for
it
discovered
to
the
people
that
the
right
prayer
of
Petitions
was
onely
for
Parliamentary
Priviledges
,
and
that
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
was
but
a
subservient
pretence
:
They
had
attained
the
mystery
and
mastership
of
Government
,
and
therefore
those
silly
Rudiments
were
to
be
forgotten
;
but
if
their
Crue
would
Petition
against
the
King
and
their
Country
,
(
so
was
our
English
spirit
charmed
and
transformed
before
)
they
should
be
honoured
with
the
Title
of
the
well-effected
,
and
have
the
thanks
of
the
House
for
nothing
.
This
sanguinous
reception
of
so
innocent
a
Paper
,
was
highly
resented
every
where
;
The
Kentish
Insurrection
May
24.
but
the
Kentish-men
reflected
most
upon
it
,
who
were
then
in
a
readiness
with
a
Petition
to
the
same
tenor
,
believing
the
Parliament
would
never
so
far
vary
from
that
principle
they
had
so
mainly
held
forth
and
asserted
,
viz.
the
Peoples
right
of
declaring
their
grievances
to
that
High
Court
:
But
now
sadly
convinced
of
that
opinion
,
they
resolved
to
save
their
honour
,
and
their
Journey
to
London
;
not
to
be
baffled
by
Red-coats
,
or
to
travel
up
on
a
fools
errand
,
but
with
their
swords
in
their
Hands
,
which
was
the
onely
reason
then
prevailing
,
to
reduce
those
by
force
to
their
duty
,
they
could
not
induce
by
the
most
urgent
and
winning
intreaties
;
They
Rendezvouze
neer
Rochester
,
Lord
Goring
Earl
of
Norwich
their
General
.
and
accordingly
appointed
a
Rendezvous
neer
Rochester
,
to
resolve
upon
the
affair
,
and
chuse
their
Officers
.
On
the
24
of
May
they
assembled
together
,
and
named
the
Lord
Goring
Earl
of
Norwich
(
then
upon
the
place
)
for
their
General
,
being
their
next
Countryman
of
Sussex
,
though
they
had
pitcht
upon
the
Duke
of
Richmond
then
at
Cobham
;
who
declined
it
,
out
of
his
incapacity
for
action
,
or
that
Command
.
Hither
also
resorted
many
hundreds
of
London-Prentices
,
the
chief
and
flower
of
the
Youth
,
with
many
of
the
Old
Cavalry
;
and
many
thousands
more
had
gone
,
but
that
all
the
ways
from
London
thither
were
so
laid
,
that
there
was
no
passage
,
the
River
of
Thames
being
guarded
with
the
like
diligence
,
and
several
adventurers
,
and
well-willers
to
the
King
and
the
quarrel
,
intercepted
.
'T
was
therefore
thought
hazardous
to
dally
with
such
an
Enemy
who
increased
every
hour
,
being
already
formidable
,
not
for
the
number
onely
,
but
the
considerableness
,
experience
,
and
gallantry
of
them
:
so
that
the
General
himself
with
all
the
Forces
he
could
make
,
being
8000
,
six
of
Foot
,
and
two
of
Horse
,
drew
out
against
them
:
which
advantage
(
as
it
was
designed
and
hoped
)
the
Citizens
might
have
taken
;
but
it
seems
the
Army
was
sensible
of
that
;
The
Army
yield
the
Militia
again
to
the
City
,
and
cajole
them
.
and
since
they
could
not
keep
it
,
were
contented
to
part
with
the
Militia
,
and
leave
it
according
to
that
establishment
which
they
so
abominably
quarrelled
before
;
which
artificial
kindness
so
obliged
the
City
,
that
though
several
promises
had
been
made
of
their
concurrence
with
the
grand
designe
,
Colonel
Culpeper
negotiating
and
pressing
their
speedy
resolution
and
Declaration
for
the
King
and
Kingdom
,
Col.
Culpeper
endeavours
to
perswade
the
City
to
Declare
for
the
King
:
they
refuse
.
at
the
very
same
time
at
Guild-hall
,
to
his
no
little
danger
and
honour
;
yet
would
they
not
by
any
means
or
arguments
of
their
Honour
and
Safety
,
be
drawn
into
any
publike
undertaking
;
not
minding
that
story
of
Polyphemus
to
Vlysses
,
whose
onely
favour
to
him
was
,
that
he
should
be
eaten
up
last
.
And
it
was
a
strange
confidence
in
them
,
to
think
that
their
Militia
could
secure
them
,
which
before
had
seen
so
scurrilously
and
contumeliously
wrested
from
them
;
when
they
were
upbraided
in
47
that
they
were
not
able
therewith
to
preserve
the
City
,
much
less
the
Parliament
or
the
King
.
However
,
they
now
undertook

Maidstone
-
fight
June
2.
Fairfax
therefore
securely
and
resolutely
advanceth
against
these
Kentish
Forces
;
and
understanding
that
the
Body
of
the
Army
quartered
about
Rochester
,
whose
Bridge
was
broke
,
he
resolved
to
pass
the
River
of
Medway
something
lower
neer
Maidstone
,
and
so
march
toward
them
.
But
the
Royalists
sensible
,
and
fore-judging
he
would
attempt
that
way
,
had
manned
it
with
1500
men
,
of
the
resolutes●
and
willingest
of
their
Army
,
consisting
chiefly
of
London-Auxiliaries
;
who
though
surprized
by
Fairfax's
sudden
approach
,
who
had
received
intelligence
from
some
Traitors
within
the
Town
,
at
what
distance
and
in
what
security
the
Army
lay
dispersed
,
did
yet
make
a
most
manful
resistance
.
The
first
Dispute
(
after
a
slight
skirmish
at
Crayfield-heath
by
Gravesend
)
happened
at
Northfield-bridge
,
the
pass
to
Maidstone
,
whither
Fairfax
sent
Major
Husbands
with
a
strong
party
before
him
,
himself
marching
with
a
full
Body
,
not
trusting
altogether
to
his
Kentish
intelligence
.
Major
Husbands
after
a
sharp
and
hot
contest
prevailed
,
more
for
fear
of
the
approach
of
the
whole
Army
,
than
his
own
strength
;
when
yet
that
handful
of
men
daringly
engaged
this
whole
Body
,
and
fought
very
much
of
their
ground
with
such
pertinacious
valour
,
that
Fairfax
(
then
troubled
with
the
Gout
)
was
forced
to
light
out
of
his
Coach
,
and
to
lead
his
men
on
in
person
for
their
animation
,
the
service
proved
so
tedious
and
desperate
.
At
last
the
Royalists
(
fresh
supplies
overpowring
them
)
were
beat
up
to
the
Barricadoes
of
the
Town
,
where
they
made
a
more
bloudy
defence
than
in
the
Fields
and
Hedges
,
repelling
the
Enemy
twice
:
And
being
thence
beaten
into
the
Town
,
did
worser
annoy
them
than
ever
before
,
firing
out
of
the
Windows
and
Leads
,
and
using
all
those
ready
Engines
of
death
which
the
Houses
afforded
,
to
the
very
great
slaughter
of
the
Red-coats
,
so
that
it
was
6
hours
compleat
before
the
Town
was
fully
gained
;
The
Royalists
Ro●ted
.
and
had
the
Royalists
from
Rochester
moved
to
their
relief
,
it
was
more
than
probable
the
Army
had
been
utterly
baffled
,
and
the
Quarrel
at
an
End
.
Of
the
Kentish
were
killed
300
,
and
almost
1000
taken
Prisoners
,
with
400
Horse
,
8
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
and
some
Ammunition
.
Fairfax
confessed
they
were
the
toughest
Enemy
he
had
met
with
in
England
.
The
Fight
began
at
7
a
clock
at

and
lasted
till
midnight

the

instead
of
coming
to

,
marched
in

for

,
where
most
of
the
Kentish-men
(
leaving

500
)
deserted

(
The
reason
of
their
not
seconding
their
Fellows
,
was
reported
to
be
this
:
The
one
half
of
them
was
marched
to

,

places
,
to
seize
on
those
Castles
,

was

3.
From
Black-heath
the
Earl
sent
a
Message
to
the
City
of
London
,
desiring
free
passage
through
it
,
and
declaring
the
intentions
of
his
undertaking
:
But
they
flatly
refused
any
such
thing
,
though
some
former
assurances
had
been
given
of
their
joyning
in
the
designe
;
whereupon
,
the
Royalists
were
forced
to
Ferry
and
Swim
their
Horses
,
and
Boat
themselves
into
the
Isle
of
Dogs
,
and
so
to
Mile-End-Green
,
whence
afresh
they
Sollicited
the
City
to
partake
in
this
Honourable
Confederacy
;
but
they
were
deaf
to
all
such
perswasions
;
their
Major-General
and
his
Tarriers
inveagling
them
with
the
honesty
and
good
resolutions
of
the
Army
,
both
to
them
and
the
Kingdom
.
Thence
the
Earl
marched
to
Stratford-Bow
,
where
joyned
with
him

Essex-Forces
,

the
Command
of
Sir
Charles
Lucas

they
had

being
under

of

,
Rendezvouzed
by
Colonel
Far
,
a
Gentleman
of

County
;
whence
they
were
drawn
to

to
countenance
and
favour
any
Loyal
attempt
in

City
,
and
to
encourage
them
to
shew
themselves

and
Subjects
.
But
that
hope
proving
more
and
more
vain
,
so
wretchedly
stupid
were
the
Londoners
,
they
marched
into
Essex
;
They
seize
the
Earl
of

Arms
,
and
march
to

.
and
by
the
way
,
seized
upon

then
lay
in

(

so
further

aforesaid

had
taken
,
with
all
hast
passed

Army
over
at

to
make

that
Road
,
came
also
entire
at
the
same
time
,
just
as
the
Van
of
Fairfax
his
Army
was
Skirmishing
at
the
Towns-end
where
they
so
peppered
the
Enemy
,
that
in
great
confusion
he
ran
to
the
Body
,
having
had
an
Essay
what
Sparks
he
had
to
deal
with
.
Sir
George
Lisle
Major-General
of
the
Essex
-
Forces
for
the
King
.
Colchester
Siege
.
Sir
George
Lisle
was
made
Major-General
of
the
Essex-Forces
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Army
distributed
into
Regiments
,
and
distinct
Commands
,
and
had
their
posts
and
places
assigned
them
.
The
Town
was
inconsiderable
,
either
in
it self
,
as
being
intenible
and
undefensive
,
nothing
but
a
Brest-work
cast
up
about
it
;
and
as
to
the
adjacent
parts
of
the
County
,
to
receive
any
provisional
relief
or
great
Force
into
it
;
so
that
there
was
no
hopes
of
setling
or
planting
in
it
,
for
in
all
probability
it
was
not
thought
possible
to
hold
out
a
Month
to
an
end
;
nevertheless
,
by
their
industry
,
courage
,
vigilance
,
and
patience
,
it
held
out
three
compleatly
,
against
a
victorious
Enemy
,
recruited
(
as
aforesaid
)
and
assisted
with
the
Forces
of
the
Neighbouring
County
of
Suffolk
,
on
whom
deservedly
the
slaughter
principally
fell
,
for
so
basely
engaging
against
(
whom
they
had
promised
to
joyn
with
)
these
Essex-Royalists
.
Several
attempts
were
made
by
Fairfax
to
take
the
place
by
Force
,
and
many
Sallies
were
in
requital
made
by
the
Besieged
,
who
both
in
assayling
and
defending
did
great
Execution
.
From
the
beginning
to
the
ending
of
the
Siege
scarce
a
day
passed
without
actions
from
within
,
at
first
to
fetch
in
Cattel
,
then
to
cut
Grass
,
which
was
stained
all
over
with
Blood
;
for
the
Besieged
would
have
it
,
who
had
now
planted
some
Cannons
upon
St.
Mary's-Steeple
,
whence
they
cruelly
annoyed
the
Leaguer
.
Insomuch
that
Fairfax
seeing
the
loss
of
his
men
,
and
the
courage
of
the
Defendants
,
gave
over
his
resolution
of
Storming
,
The
Lord
Lucas
(
Sir
Charles
his
Brother
)
his
House
ruined
.
proceeding
with
his
Approaches
to
begirt
them
close
,
and
fortifying
his
Camp
to
starve
them
,
and
also
to
fire
them
out
;
which
forced
the
Besieged
to
burn
the
Suburbs
,
that
he
intended
for
shelter
;
but
he
possest
the
Lord
Lucas
his
House
(
Sir
Charles
his
Brother
)
and
ruined
it
.
The
provision
they
had
in
the
Town
(
besides
what
they
fought
for
and
brought
in
afterwards
)
would
not
suffice
for
above
a
Month
;
The
condition
of
the
besieged
.
and
all
hopes
were
abandoned
of
getting
in
more
;
yet
the
courageous
and
generous
sufferance
of
these
Loyal
Souldiers
,
resolved
to
undergo
all
misery
rather
than
yield
▪
and
so
free
the
Army
to
march
against
the
Scots
,
who
were
now
entred
England
upon
the
same
account
.
Their
main
support
was
the
sauce
and
relish
to
their
meat
,
good
store
of
Prunes
and
Plums
with
which
the
Town
was
stored
,
that
did
a
little
palate
their
Hors-flesh
to
them
,
They
eat
horse-flesh
.
which
they
were
forced
to
kill
and
dress
for
their
victuals
,
a
good
while
before
their
Surrender
;
there
was
also
some
Corn
,
which
Sir
Charles
charitably
distributed
among
the
Towns-folk
,
but
the
Souldiers
borrowed
it
again
in
their
extremity
:
in
which
we
must
leave
these
Noble
Gentlemen
,
and
take
a
view
of
other
concurrent
endeavours
for
the
King
and
Kingdom
.

Fleet

the
Parliament
had
stollen
,

and
debauched
from
their
Duty
by
their
first
pretences
,
perceiving
that
indeed
they
were
but
such
,
and
no
more
,
repenting
of
their
past
service
,
did
,
to
satisfie
for
their
former
offences
,
now
turn
sides
,
and
rendred
themselves
to
the
Prince
,
now
made
Captain-General
of
His
Fathers
Forces
.
Their
Commander
Col.
Rainsborough
set
on
Shore
.
The
Parliament
had
some
inkling
thereof
,
and
therefore
had
Commissioned
Colonel
Rainsborough
(
a
Sea-man
formerly
)
to
the
Command
thereof
,
whom
the
Loyal
Mariners
fairly
put
on
Shore
,
having
posed
him
with
this
Question
,
of
engaging
for
their
Soverain
;
and

the
same
time

they
would
have

,
brought
some

Ships

Obedience
.
With
this
Naval
Force
the
Prince
departed
from
Holland
,
and
came
into
Yarmouth-Road
,
where
it
was
deliberated
,
whether
he
should
land
,
and
attempt

thereupon
weighed

ordered
to
set
forth
a
Fleet.
a
Hamborough-bound
Ship
richly
laden
being
seized
on
by
him
.
In
all
haste
there●ore
the
Parliament
order
their
old
Admiral
Robert
Rich
Earl
of
Warwick
to
Equip
another
Fleet
then
in
the
River
,
and
to
set
to
Sea
;
hoping
by
his
Authority
and
influence
to
reclaim
their
Revolters
;
or
if
not
,
upon
the
coming
of
more
Ships
from
Portsmouth
(
which
accordingly
joyned
with
him
)
to
fight
the
Prince
.
In
pursuance
of
this
Command
,
Warwick
appears
with
his
Fleet
about
Quinborough
;
but
for
all
his
former
indearedness
to
the
Sea-men
,
and
their
affection
his
Masters
confided
in
,
he
durst
not
engage
,
Earl
of
Warwick
at
Quinborough
,
the
Prince
summons
him
.
lest
a
total
defection
might
have
ensued
:
for
the
Mariners
were
grown
sensible
how
Trade
,
and
consequently
Navigation
was
decayed
by
the
long
continuance
of
the
War
;
and
had
more
kindness
besides
for
Batten
,
than
they
had
for
the
Earl
;
which
the
Prince
was
sensible
of
,
and
therefore
in
civil
terms
,
by
a
Message
required
him
to
submit
,
and
bring
in
the
Fleet
under
his
Command
,
He
refuseth
.
offering
him
those
advantages
,
and
so
obligingly
inviting
him
to
such
just
ends
and
purposes
,
that
of
all
the
unhappinesses
that
befel
that
Nobleman
,
(
as
there
were
many
in
his
Family
and
Relations
afterwards
,
)
this
his
refusal
made
the
greatest
breach
of
his
Honour
,
as
appeared
to
him
not
long
after
this
,
when
he
was
ignominiously
turned
out
as
a
dangerous
person
by
his
Masters
,
and
saw
his
onely
Brother
murdered
by
their
Hands
.
In
the
mean
while
of
Warwick's
preparation
,
the
Prince
,
that
he
might
not
seem
to
be
unactive
,
and
to
have
done
nothing
worthy
his
adventure
and
presence
,
landed
500
men
to
the
Relief
of
Sandwich
,
Walmer
,
and
Deal-Castles
,
besieged
as
abovesaid
.
At
Deal
they
were
first
opposed
;
and
though
they
did
as
much
as
possible
could
be
expected
from
men
,
yet
were
they
finally
vanquished
by
the
unerring
victorious
hand
of
the
Army-Forces
;
whereupon
instantly
ensued
the
rendition
of
those
Castles
;
and
the
Prince
,
without
any
other
effect
than
a
perswasive
Letter
sent
to
the
House
of
Lords
for
the
obtaining
of
a
Personal
Treaty
with
his
Father
,
which
soon
after
ensued
,
set
sail
for
Goree
in
Holland
,
Prince
Charles
with
the
Fleet
at
Goree
in
Holland
.
where
he
Anchored
his
Ships
:

vauntingly
following
him
,
and
demanding
the
States
to
thrust
them
out
to
Sea
,
according
to

thereof
;

the
States
were
civiller
and
wiser

To

another

laid

no

rose

Major
Gibbons
were
upon
the
back
of
them
,
as
they
Rend●zvouz'd
between
Ewel
and
Nonsuch-Park
.
Sir
Michael
Livesy
joyned
also
with
the
other
Parliament-Forces
,
and
presently
attaqued
these
upstarts
,
who
had
intended
for
Rygate
,
but
were
compelled
to
steer
their
course
for
Kingston
;
in
the
way
whither
,
they
were
all
along
skirmished
:
for
,
to
preserve
their
few
Foot
they
had
placed
before
,
they
were
forced
to
march
slowly
.
In
one
of
those
onsets
,
the
nobly-spirited
Lord
Francis
(
being
too
far
engaged
by
his
metalsom
courage
)
was
taken
Prisoner
,
and
refusing
Rebels
quarter
,
was
basely
killed
by
a
mean
and
rude
hand
;
with
whose
fall
fell
the
courage
of
all
the
other
.
For
Holland
having
gotten
the
Town
,
gave
the
Foot
opportunity
to
shift
for
themselves
,
and
posted
away
with
his
Horse
to
St.
Neots
in
Huntington-shire
,
where
the
next
day
he
and
his
Party
was
surprized
by
Colonel
Scroops
Regiment
of
Horse
,
Colonel
Dalbeir
(
formerly
a
great
Parliamentarian
)
being
slain
in
the
defence
of
his
quarters
;
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
and
the
Earl
of
Peterborough
escaped
into
Lincoln-shire
,
and
so
beyond
Sea
,
leaving
their
Estates
to
satisfie
for
their
offence
;
and
the
Earl
of
Holland
was
sent
Prisoner
to
Warwick-Castle
,
where
he
continued
till
he
was
removed
to
his
Tryal
and
his
Death
.
To
sum
up
all
the
disastrous
events
of
this
Second
War
,
as
it
was
called
,
(
though

mention
and
hopeful
concerns
of

should

right
interv●ne

we
must
look
Northwards

where
,
on

of

Scotch
Army
,
after
tedious
debates
and
struglings
with
the
Kirk
and
Presbyterian
party
of
that
Kingdom
,
entred
England
bringing
with
them
a
Declaration
containing
these
five
points
.
1.
That
the
King
be
forthwith
brought
to
London
to
Treat
in
Person
with
the
two
Houses
of

.
2.
That
all
those
who
had
a
hand
in
or
contrived
the
carrying
of
the
King
away
from
Holdenby
,
be
condignly
punished
.
3.
That
the
Army
be
disbanded
.
4.
That

be
setled
.
5.
That

-
Fight
August
.
17.
At
Preston
in
Lancashire
both
Armies
faced
one
another
;
and
some
two
miles
thence
,
on
a
Moor
,
on
the
East-side
of
the
Town
,
engaged
:
the
brunt
of
the
fight
continued
but
two
hours
;
nor
had
it
endured
so
long
,
but
through
the
valour
of
the
English
Royalists
,
on
whom
the
stress
lay
.
The
Scots
Army
was
so
ill
ordered
,
that
they
came
not
all
to
the
Fight
,
nor
could
relieve
one
another
;
so
that
a
general
Rout
ensued
;
one
part
flying
towards
Lancaster
,
who
were
pursued
by
Col.
Twisleton
and
Tho●nhills
Regiments
of
Horse
;
and
the
other
over
Ribley-River
,
whom
the
Body
of
the
Army
●ollowed
:
most
of
their
Foot
,
under
Major-General
Baily
,
came
that
night
to
Wigan
,
fighting
and
crying
Quarter
in
the
Rear
;
and
the
next
day
to
Warrington-Bridge
,
where
in
their
way
,
at
a
place
called
Red-bank
,
in
a
narrow
lane
,
they
made
a
stand
with
a
Body
of
Pikes
,
and
lined
the
Hedges
with
Muskets
,
who
so
rudely
entertained
the
pursuing
Enemy
,
that
they
were
compelled
to
stop
(
having
lost
abundance
of
men
,
and
Col.
Thornhill
himself
)
until
the
coming
up
of
Col.
Pride's
Regiment
of
Foot
,
who
after
a
sharp
dispute
put
those
brave
Fellows
to
the
run
:
The
Scots

were
Commanded
by

Spark
in
a
blew
Bonnet
,
that
performed
the
part
of
an
excellent
Commander
,
and
was
killed
on
the
place
.
After
this
,
they
never
turned
Head
,
but
ran
,
crying
,
Mercy
,
Mercy
,
(
so
that
the
noise
thereof
was
heard
at
5
Miles
distance
)
until
they
came

with

Horse
,
where
the
Country-people
surprized
500
of
them
;
and
thence
in
haste
to
Vttoxeter
in
Staffordshire
,
where
he
yielded
himself
to
the
Lord
Gray
of
Grooby
,
and
Col.
Wayt
,
who
were
ready
to
encounter
him
;
Is
taken
by
the
Lord
Gray
of
Grooby
.
and
was
thence
brought
prisoner
to
Ashby
de
la
Zouch
,
where
he
was
kept
in
great
state
,
and
courted
by
those
the
Grandees
appointed
to
attend
him
,
on
purpose
to
cajole
and
fish
out
what
Great
Oues
,
Members
of
both
Houses
,
the
City
,
and
Clergy
,
had
a
hand
in
his
undertaking
;
it
being
more
than
suspected
that
he
had
such
Invitation
.
But
the
unhappy
man
was
yet
so
fortunate
to
others
,
as
to
reveal
little
or
nothing
to
their
prejudice
,
reserving
his
thoughts
till
the
last
extremity
,
for
his
ransom
;
but
he
overstood
the
Market
.
To
save
the
Reader
the
trouble
of
particulars
,
he
may
know
,
that
all
that
ever
belonged
to
that
Army
was
taken
,
the
Scots

escaped
(
which
were
but
few
)

Sword

who
was
marching
after
Hamilton
with
a
Reserve
;
and
upon
news
of
this
defeat
,
hasted
back
again
into
Scotland
,
having
intelligence
that
Cromwel
was
marching
towards
him
.
Cromwel

Who
to
compleat
his
Successes
and
Designes
together
,
thought
it
expedient
to
make
sure
of
a
party
in
Scotland
,
that
should
keep
all
things
quiet
there
,
while
he
should
accomplish
his
intended
mischief
here
,
and
under
the
notion
of
Godliness
,
and
the
Godly
Party
,
should
amuse
and
cheat
one
another
,
to
the
helping
and
bringing
about
his
most
ungodly
Conspiracie
.
To
this
purpose
he
marched
into
Scotland
,
complementing
the
Kirk-men
with
the
civility
of
his
Journey
to
secure
and
settle
them
,
in
return
of
their
kindness
to
the
Parliament
in
1643.

cawed
him
again
,
and
congratulated
his
Victory
in
Scripture-Language
,
who
was
no
way
behind
them
in
those
hypocritical
Cantings
.
He
was
likewise
sumptuously
feasted
by
Argyle

of
that
Party
;
He

by

he
required

obtained
,
that
all
the
Armies
both
of
Monro
and
Lanerick
,
who
yet
stood
out
,
and
Argyle's
in
opposition
to
them
,
should
be
disbanded
(
Berwick
and
Carlisle
being
already
delivered
to
him
)
that
so
there
might
be
none
in
readiness
to
hinder
his
resolutions
.
Secondly
,
that

,

or
in
the
General
Assembly
,
that
had
any
hand
in
the
late
Invasion
under
Hamilton
.
And
so
,
after
many
high
expressions
of
their
thankful
resentments
and
obligations
for
his
meritorious
service
,
took
his
leave
of
them
,
and
return'd
into
England
;
being
,
as
he
passed
through
York-shire
with
his
Forces
,
desired
by
that
Committee
to
assist
them
in
the
reducing
of
Scarborough
,
some
while
before
declared
for
the
King
.
Sir
Matthew
Boynton
(
the
former
Governour
)
returning
to
his
Allegeance
,
and
securing
the
Town
on
that
score
.
Tinmouth-Castle
was
likewise
seized
on
for
the
King
by
Major
Lilburn
,
one
of
(
that
famous
)
Iohn
Lilburn's
Brothers
,
who
only
seriously
repented
of
his
disloyalty
,
and
would
have
made
satisfaction
,
to
the
redemption
of
his
Families
and
his
own
Honour
,
but
was
presently
,
and
before
he
had
time
to
fortifie
and
prepare
for
defence
,
set
upon
by
Forces
sent
by
Sir
Arthur
Haslerig
from
Newcastle
,
who
stormed
the
Castle
and
carried
it
,
putting
the
Souldiers
and
Lilburn
himself
to
the
Sword
.
Return
we
now
to
the
distressed
and
starved
Colchester
,
where
the
Defendants
had
eaten
up
most
of
their
Horses
,
in
expectation
of
relief
from
the
Scotch
Army
,
being
encouraged
to
hold
out
by
Letters
from
the
Lord
Langdale
of
their
Armies
speedy
advance
to
their
succour
.
But
understanding
by
information
from
the
Enemy
without
,
that
that
Army
was
totally
defeated
,
these
unfortunate
Heroical
Royalists
were
forced
to
bethink
themselves
of
a
Surrender
;
which
Fairfax
would
now
accept
upon
no
other
terms
(
after
much
debate
by
Treaty
)
than
the
Common
Souldiers
to
quarter
for
life
,
and
the
Officers
to
mercy
.
These
hard
Terms
were
disputed
within
,
and
were
at
the
first
generously
scorned
;
and
thereupon
a
resolution
was
taken
,
seconded
with
a
Protestation
,
whereby
they
engaged
one
to
another
,
by
the
assistance
of
God
,
to
break
through
the
Enemy
on
Friday
night
the
23
of
August
:
but
through
the
dissatisfaction
or
personal
consideration
of
some
of
the
Grandees
,
this
noble
Designe
was
hindered
,
and
the
Souldiers
by
the
delay
and
after-consultation
of
it
(
it
being
respited
a
day
longer
)
being
enjealoused
as
if
the
Officers
would
leave
the
Foot
in
the
action
,
and
shift
for
themselves
(
and
it
was
impossible
to
attempt
their
Line
without
Foot
and
Pioneers
)
they
were
forced
to
accept
of
the
former
Conditions
;
Colchester
surrendred
August
28.
on
hard
terms
.
and
accordingly
August
the
28th
they
rendred
themselves
,
a
sad
spectacle
to
all
,
but
that
barbarous
and
insulting
Enemy
,
who
presently
stript
them
of
all
they
had
left
comfortable
,
their
Money
and
Apparel
.
Within
two
hours
after
the
surrender
,
Sir
Charles
Lucas
and
Sir
George
Lisle
shot
to
death
Aug.
28.
Col.
Ireton
was
sent
to
the
Inne
where
all
the
Officers
were
put
,
to
acquaint
Sir
Charles
Lucas
,
Sir
George
Lisle
,
and
Sir
Bernard
Gascoyn
,
that
by
a
doom
of
the
Council
of
War
they
were
sentenced
to
be
shot
to
death
within
three
hours
,
and
that
they
should
prepare
themselves
accordingly
.
They
all
of
them
undauntedly
received
this
sad
Message
;
Sir
Charles
only
desiring
some
little
time
longer
to
prepare
himself
,
both
in
reference
to
his
peace
with
God
,
and
concerns
of
his
Relations
;
which
he
said
he
asked
not
for
fear
of
death
,
or
in
hope
of
life
,
which
he
would
not
value
from
their
hands
.
But
this
was
refused
by
Ireton
,
who
,
on
purpose
to
make
the
General
odious
,
then
the
only
impediment
to
his
Father-in-Law's
Greatness
(
which
was
afterwards
removed
by
a
more
innocent
wile
)
had
urged
him
to
this
murder
.
Seven
a
Clock
at
night
was
the
appointed
time
;
to
prepare
them
against
which
,
Ireton
proffered
the
Generals
Chaplain
;
but
him
they
refused
,
the
Lord
Capel's
being
desired
to
assist
them
in
this
last
duty
to
God
and
Nature
.
Accordingly
they
were
brought
unto
the
place
of
Execution
(
Sir
Bernard
Gascoyn
being
upon
more
humane
consideration
as
a
Stranger
reprieved
)
where
after
two
or
three
ejaculations
,
Sir
Bernard
Gascoyn
sentenced
to
be
shot
to
death
,
but
reprieved
.
Sir
Charles
tearing
open
his
Doublet
,
and
crying
,
Shoot
Rebels
,
was
presently
dispatched
.
Sir
George
seeing
him
fall
,
ran
to
him
,
and
fell
upon
his
Face
,
and
kissed
him
,
saying
,
Oh
how
soon
hath
a
brave
Soul
expired
!
but
I
shall
not
stay
long
behind
thee
;
my
death
at
hand
shall
joyn
us
both
together
again
.
And
then
standing
up
in
a
most
heroical
posture
,
drawing
out
of
his
Pocket
five
pieces
of
Gold
,
four
whereof
he
sent
to
four
Friends
,
the
other
he
gave
to
his
Executioners
;
and
looking
round
about
him
,
saying
,
Oh
how
many
do
I
see
here
,
whom
I
have
saved
i●
but
blood
,
and
must
mine
now
be
shed
in
cold
!
sure
such
barbarity
is
not
among
the
Scythians
!
He
likewise
then
opened
his
Doublet
,
and
with
the
Invocation
of
the
Name
of
Jesus
,
and
bidding
the
Rebels
shoot
and
do
their
worst
,
was
likewise
shoot
dead
and
both
their
Bodies
interred
in
the
Vault
where
Sir
Charles
his
Family
were
laid
:
where
those
impious
wretches
,
the
Common
Souldiers
,
(
as
they
were
bid
,
and
to
fit
them
for
succeeding
Barbarisms
)
did
violate
those
Honourable
Reliques
,
by
taking
the
Hair
from
the
Scalps
;
so
extending
their
malice
beyond
his
death
,
even
to
his
deceased
Ancestors
.
This
odious
Fact
(
for
which
the
Sufferers
Memories
,
and
the
due
Renown
of
their
Virtue
and
Valour
shall
flourish
,
and
the
Names
of
those
blood-thirsty
men
that
perpetrated
and
counselled
it
,
shall
stink
and
rot
)
was
most
highly
resented
:
For
it
was
very
obvious
,
that
it
was
done
on
purpose
to
exasperate
and
grieve
the
King
,
with
whom
at
the
same
time
the
Parliament
had
Voted
(
and
were
proceeding
in
)
a
Treaty
;
of
which
we
come
next
to
speak
:
leaving
these
two
Heroes
to
a
resuscitation
of
their
Glories
,
being
without
any
partiality
of
affection
declared
by
those
that
knew
them
,
one
of
them
the
best
for
Horse-service
,
and
the
other
for
Infantry
,
that
ever
Commanded
in
their
quality
in
the
Kings
Armies
.
The
Londoners
continue
Neuters
.
During
all
these
several
warlike
endeavours
for
the
Kings
Restitution
,
the
City
of
London
,
as
was
said
before
,
kept
it self
in
a
kind
of
Neutrality
,
vainly
expecting
to
accomplish
those
ends
which
had
been
so
powerfully
prosecuted
by
the
Loyal
Sword
,
by
the
peaceful
Subscriptions
of
the
Pen
to
a
Petition
for
a
Personal
Treaty
.
But
indeed
the
appearance
of
so
many
dangers
to
the
Parliament
,
gave
them
hopes
that
they
would
begin
to
consider
,
if
not
of
Peace
to
the
Kingdom
,
yet
of
safety
to
themselves
,
if
any
one
of
those
Loyal
Essays
should
have
taken
effect
:
Nor
were
they
deceived
therein
;
but
they
did
not
cast
this
consideration
far
enough
,
nor
did
they
manage
it
rightly
.
For
they
might
have
fore-thought
of
the
Armies
prevailing
success
,
and
consequently
of
the
variation
and
different
course
of
their
intentions
to
the
Publique
,
and
should
have
therefore
kept
the
balance
even
between
the
Royalists
(
whose
Revenge
upon
Victory
they
pretended
to
fear
)
and
the
insolent
Sectarian
Host
,
who
not
long
after
requited
them
for
their
looking
on
,
by
the
most
impudent
outrages
upon
their
Charter
;
excluding
all
men
from
any
place
of
Trust
,
or
Vote
,
or
Benefit
of
a
Vote
,
that
signed
to
this
Personal
Treaty
,
which
upon
their
unanimous
Address
they
obtained
of

who
to
methodize
and
open
the
way
thereto
,
proceeded
as
followeth
.
Seeing
themselves
thus
compelled
into
this
Affair
,
and
that
their
former
Resolves
of
Non-address
had
so
quickly
altered
the
Scene
,
with
the
Hypocritical
Repentance
of
the
Army
at
the
very
same
time
(
for
their
former
sawcie
intermed●ings
with
them
,
or
Civil
Affairs
)
they
fain
and
imitate
likewise
the
better
part

Penitence

pretended
Restitution

right
place

indeed
at

Resolves

you

have
thought
fit
to
deliver
the
whole
Treaty
entire

any
intercurrencie

the
main

Propositions

&c.

two
Houses
to
be
transacted
with
H●nour
,
Freedom
,
and
safety
to

in
the

.
And
accordingly
Instructions
were
given
to
the
Earl

Middlesex
,
Earl

Sir
Io.
Hippe●ley
,
and

Sir
Iohn
Hippesley
and

Bulkley
Esquire
,
delegated
to
attend
upon
the
King
,
what
they
should
say
to
,
or
receive
from
his
Majesty
.
At
their
arrival
,
the
King
shewed
himself
gladded
with
the
good
news
brought
,
and
received
them
very
affectionately
,
and
forwith
applied
himself
to
an
answer
to
the
Parliament
,
as
they
had
desired
,
in
haec
verba
.
CHARLES
REX
.
IF
the
Peace
of
my
Dominions
were
not
much
dearer
to
me
than
any
particular
Interest
whatsoever
,
His
Majesties
Answer
to
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
.
I
had
too
much
reason
to
take
notice
of
the
several
Votes
which
passed
against
me
,
and
the
sad
condition
I
have
been
in
now
above
these
seven
Months
.
But
since
you
my
two
Houses
of
Parliament
have
opened
(
as
it
seems
to
me
)
a
fair
beginning
to
a
happy
Peace
,
I
shall
heartily
apply
my self
thereunto
;
and
to
that
end
,
The
King
chearfully
embraceth
the
overt●●es
of
Peace
.
I
will
as
clearly
,
and
as
shortly
as
I
may
,
set
you
down
those
things
which
I
conceive
necessary
to
this
blessed
work
,
so
that
we
together
may
remove
all
Impediments
that
may
hinder
a
happy
Conclusion
of
this
Treaty
,
which
with
all
chearfulness
I
do
embrace
.
And
to
this
end
,
you
your selves
have
laid
most
excellent
grounds
:
For
what
can
I
reasonably
expect
more
,
than
to
Treat
with
Honour
,
Freedom
,
and
Safety
,
upon
such
Propositions
as
you
have
,
or
shall
present
unto
me
,
and
such
as
I
shall
make
unto
you
?
But
withal
remember
,
it
is
the
definition
,
not
names
of
things
,
which
makes
them
righly
known
;
and
that
without
means
to
perform
,
no
Propositions
can
take
effect
.
And
truly
my
present
condition
is
such
,
that
I
can
no
more
Treat
,
Demands
of
the
Parliament
to
recal
those
Votes
and
Orders
by
which
his
Subjects
are
frighted
from
coming
or
sending
to
him
.
than
a
blind
man
can
judge
of
colours
,
or
he
run
a
race
who
hath
both
his
Feet
fast
tied
together
;
wherefore
my
first
necessary
demand
is
,
That
you
will
recall
all
such
Votes
and
Orders
,
by
which
people
are
frighted
from
coming
,
writing
,
or
speaking
freely
to
me
.
Next
,
that
such
men
of
all
Professions
whom
I
shall
send
for
,
as
of
necessary
use
to
me
in
this
Treaty
,
may
be
admitted
to
wait
upon
me
.
In
a
word
,
that
I
may
be
in
the
same
state
of
Freedom
I
was
in
when
I
was
last
at
Hampton-Court
.
That
all
men
of
necessary
Professions
be
admitted
to
come
to
him
.
And
indeed
,
less
cannot
in
any
reasonable
measure
make
good
those
offers
which
you
have
made
me
by
your
Votes
.
For
how
can
I
Treat
with
Honour
,
so
long
as
people
are
terrified
with
Votes
and
Orders
against
coming
to
speak
or
write
to
me
?
And
am
I
honourably
Treated
,
so
long
as
there
is
none
about
me
(
except
a
Barber
who
came
now
with
the
Commissioners
)
that
ever
I
named
to
wait
upon
me
?
Or
with
Freedom
,
until
I
may
call
such
to
me
of
whose
service
I
shall
have
use
in
so
great
and
difficult
a
work
?
Note
,
That
His
Majesty
had
suffered
his
Beard
to
overgrow
in
that
solitary
restraint
of
near
seven
Months
;
so
that
Compassion
wooed
,
where
Majesty
once
awed
.
And
for
Safety
(
I
speak
not
of
my
Person
,
having
no
apprehension
that
way
)
how
can
I
judge
to
make
a
safe
and
well-grounded
Peace
,
until
I
may
know
(
without
disguise
)
the
true
present
state
of
all
my
Dominions
,
and
particularly
of
all
those
,
whose
Interests
are
necessarily
concerned
in
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdoms
?
Which
leads
me
naturally
to
the
last
necessary
demand
I
shall
make
for
the
bringing
this
Treaty
to
an
happy
end
;
which
is
,
That
the
Scots
may
be
invited
to
send
their
Propositions
.
That
you
alone
,
or
you
and
I
joyntly
,
do
invite
the
Scots
to
send
some
persons
authorized
by
them
,
to
treat
upon
such
Propositions
as
they
shall
make
.
For
certainly
the
Publique
and
Necessary
Interest
they
have
in
this
great
Settlement
,
is
so
clearly
plain
to
all
the
world
,
that
I
believe
no
body
will
deny
the
necessity
of
their
concurrence
,
in
order
to
a
durable
Peace
.
The
King
declaring
a
tend●r
affection
for
both
his
Kingdoms
.
Wherefore
I
will
only
say
,
that
as
I
am
a
King
of
both
Nations
,
so
will
I
yield
to
none
in
either
Kingdom
,
for
being
truly
and
zealously
affected
for
the
Good
and
Honour
of
both
;
my
resolution
being
never
to
be
partial
for
either
,
to
the
prejudice
of
the
other
.
The
King
appoints
Newport
for
the
place
of
Treaty
.
Now
,
as
to
the
place
(
because
I
conceive
it
to
be
rather
a
circumstantial
,
than
a
real
part
of
this
Treaty
,
I
shall
not
much
insist
upon
it
)
I
name
Newport
in
this
Isle
;
yet
the
fervent
zeal
I
have
that
a
speedy
end
be
put
to
these
unhappy
distractions
,
doth
force
me
earnestly
to
desire
you
to
consider
,
what
a
great
loss
of
time
it
will
be
,
to
Treat
so
far
from
the
Body
of
my
two
Houses
,
when
every
small
Debate
(
of
which
doubtless
there
will
be
many
)
must
be
transmitted
to
Westminster
,
But
urgeth
the
reconveniencies
of
Treating
so
far
from
London
▪
before
they
be
concluded
.
And
really
,
I
think
(
though
to
some
it
may
seem
a
Paradox
)
that
peoples
minds
will
be
much
more
apt
to
settle
,
seeing
me
Treat
in
or
near
London
,
than
in
the
Isle
,
because
,
so
long
as
I
am
here
,
it
will
never
be
believed
by
many
,
that
I
am
really
so
free
,
as
before
this
Treaty
begin
I
expect
to
be
.
And
so
I
leave
,
and
recommend
this
Point
to
your
serious
consideration
.
And
thus
I
have
not
only
fully
accepted
of
the
Treaty
which
you
have
propounded
to
me
by
the
Votes
of
the
3
of
this
Month
,
but
also
given
it
all
the
furtherance
that
lies
in
me
,
by
demanding
the
necessary
means
for
the
effectual
performance
thereof
.
All
which
are
so
necessarily
implied
by
,
though
not
particularly
mentioned
in
the
Votes
,
that
I
can
no
way
doubt
of
your
ready
compliance
with
me
herein
.
His
Majesty
〈◊〉
the
Delegates
to
expedite
the
Treaty
by
dispatching
their
Commissioners
.
I
have
now
no
more
to
say
,
but
to
conjure
you
by
all
that
is
dear
to
Christians
,
Honest
Men
,
or
good
Patriots
,
that
you
will
make
all
the
expedition
possible
to
begin
this
happy
Work
,
by
hasting
down
your
Commissioners
,
fully
authorized
,
and
well
instructed
,
and
by
enabling
me
(
as
I
have
shewed
you
)
to
Treat
;
Praying
the
God
of
Peace
so
to
bless
our
endeavours
,
that
all
my
Dominions
may
speedily
enjoy
a
safe
and
well-grounded
Peace
.

single
against

(
none

that

up

both
in

of

His

for
the
same
term
.

if
it
will
not

that
the
Propriety
and
Inheritance
of
those
Lands
do
still
remain
in
the
Church
,
according
to
the
pious
intentions
of
the
Donors
;
and
the
rest
that
shall
be
reserved
to
be
for
their
maintenance
.
That
there
be
a
Reformation
,
and
concerning
Papists
.
His
Majesty
will
give
Consent
for
a
Reformation
,
viz.
Observation
of
the
Lords-day
,
and
such
other
things
in
these
their
Propositions
as
they
have
desired
,
as
also
Consents
to
those
Propositions
against
Papists
.
But
as
to
the
[
](A43206-e95270-b)*
*
Thrust
in
by
some
rigid
Presbyterians
,
and
maintained
there
by
the
Independants
,
because
they
knew
the
King
would
never
Assent
to
it
,
and
so
no
Conclusion
.
Covenant
,
his
Majesty
is
not
therein
satisfied
that
he
can
either
Signe
or
Swear
it
,
or
Consent
to
impose
it
on
the
Consciences
of
others
;
nor
conceives
it
proper
or
useful
at
this
time
to
be
insisted
on
.
That
the
two
Houses
shall
dispose
of
the
Militia
for
10
years
,
or
during
his
Reign
.
Touching
the
Militia
,
his
Majesty
conceives
that
their
Propositions
demand
a
far
larger
Power
over
the
persons
of
his
Subjects
,
than
hath
ever
hitherto
been
warranted
by
the
Laws
and
Statutes
of
the
Realm
:
yet
considering
the
present
distractions
require
more
,
and
trusting
in
his
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
that
they
will
not
abuse
the
Power
hereby
granted
;
his
Majesty
will
consent
to
an
Act
of
Parliament
,
wherein
it
shall
be
declared
,
That
for
the
space
of
ten
years
,
or
during
his
Majesties
whole
Reign
,
if
they
shall
think
it
more
satisfactory
,
the
two
Houses
shall
have
the
sole
disposal
of
the
Militia
,
and
raise
Mony
,
as
in
their
Propositions
:
And
that
neither
the
King
,
his
Heirs
or
Successors
,
or
any
other
,
but
such
as
shall
act
by
the
Authority
or
Approbation
of
the
Lords
and
Commons
,
shall
during
the
space
of
ten
years
exercise
any
of
the
Powers
aforesaid
;
nor
after
that
term
,
without
the
Advice
of
the
Lords
and
Commons
.
And
Consents
to
the
entrusting
the
Militia
into
the
Cities
hands
,
according
to
their
Propositions
:
Provided
,
That
all

other
Acts
concerning
the
Premises
,
be

acted
in
his
Majesties
Name
,
That
the
affairs
of
Ireland
be
determined
by
the
Parliam
.
by
Warrant
signified
by
the
Lords
and
Commons
,
or
such
other
as
they
shall
authorize
for
that
purpose
.
Touching
Ireland
,
his
Majesty
leaves
it

of
his
two

equal
Taxations

for
the
payment
and
satisfying
the
Arrears
of
the
Army
,
and
Publique
Engagementss
of
the
Kingdom
,
as
shall
be
agreed
on
by
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
and
shall
be
ordered

of

and
in
the
intervals
of
Parliament
,
to

by
such

they
shall

His
Majesty
will
Consent
,
That

for

may
be

.
His
Majesty
having
thus
far
expressed
his
Consent
for
the
present
satisfaction
and
securing
of
his
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
and
those
that
have
adhered
unto
them
,
touching
the
four
first
Propositions
,
and
other
the
particulars
before-specified
;
as
to
all
the
rest
of
the
Propositions
delivered
to
him
at
Hampton-Court
(
not
referring
to
those
●eads
)
and
to
that
of
the
Court
of
Wards
since
delivered
;
as
also
,
to
the
remaining
Propositions
concerning
Ireland
,
His
Majesty
desires
only
when
he
shall
come
to
Westminster
,
personally
to
advise
with
his
two
Houses
,
and
to
deliver
his
Opinion
and
Reasons
of
it
:
which
being
done
,
he
will
leave
the
whole
matter
of
those
remaining
Propositions
to
the
determination
of
his
two
Houses
,
which
shall
prevail
with
him
for
his
Consent
accordingly
.
And
his
Majesty
doth
(
for
his
own
particular
)
only
propose
,
His
Majesty
proposeth
his
liberty
to
repair
to
Westminster
,
and
to
be
restored
to
his
Revenues
.
Proffereth
an
Act
of
Oblivion
to
all
persons
.
that
he
may
have
liberty
to
repair
forthwith
to
Westminster
,
and
be
restored
to
a
condition
of
absolute
Freedom
and
Safety
(
a
thing
which
he
shall
never
deny
to
any
of
his
Subjects
)
and
to
the
possession
of
his
Lands
and
Revenues
;
and
that
an
Act
of
Oblivion
and
Indemnity
may
pass
,
to
extend
to
all
persons
,
for
all
matters
relating
to
the
late
unhappy
differences
:
which
being
agreed
by
his
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
his
Majesty
will
be
ready
to
make
these
his
Concessions
binding
,
by
giving
them
the
force
of
Laws
by
his
Royal
assent
.
Though
these
Condescentions
(
nor
indeed
if
they
had
been
to
the
very
letter
of
the
Propositions
would
they
have
been
satisfactory
)
did
not
at
present
sute
the
high
and
imperious
humour
of
the
Parliament
;
The
Parliament
imperious
.
Most
of
their
Commissioners
dutiful
in
their
behaviour
towards
the
King
.
yet
by
the
good
temperament
and
respectful
behaviour
of
the
major
part
of
the
Commissioners
,
such
a
mutual
confidence
was
wrought
,
that
the
King
won
with
their
dutiful
perswasion
,
did
in
most
of
those
things
(
besides
Religion
and
Church-lands
)
comply
with
their
demands
;
and
then
the
Parliament
upon
debate
of
the
whole
Treaty
,
Voted
his
Concessions
a
ground
to
settle
the
Kingdom
:
of
which
presently
.
But
a
little
before
the
conclusion
of
the
Treaty
,
which
hapned
on
the
27th
of
Nov.
the
Army
(
Cromwel
being
now
come
out
of
Scotland
)
had
after
a
long
Consultation
how
to
break
it
off
,
The
Army's
Remonstrance
at
St.
Albans
.
hammered
out
a
villanous
Remonstrance
on
the
16th
of
that
Month
,
at
St.
Albans
;
and
on
the
28th
presented
it
to
the
House
of
Commons
by
Col.
Ewers
(
related
to
the
Lord
Ewers
)
and
seven
Officers
more
:
the
Treasonable
and
Execrable
Heads
thereof
(
setting
aside
that
Principle
,
That
the
Magistery
of
the
People
is
Supreme
)
were
as
followeth
:
-
First
,
The
villanous
heads
thereof
.
That
the
King
be
brought
to
Iustice
.
That
the
Capital
and
Grand
Author
of
our
Troubles
,
viz.
the
Person
of
the
King
,
by
whose
procurement
,
and
for
whose
Interest
of
Will
and
Power
all
our
Wars
have
been
,
may
be
brought
to
Iustice
,
for
the
Treason
,
Blood
,
and
Mischief
he
is
therein
guilty
of
.
-
Secondly
,
That
the
Prince
of
Wales
and
Duke
of
York
render
themselves
by
a
certain
day
,
or
be
proclaimed
Traytors
.
That
a
Timely
Day
may
be
set
for
the
Prince
of
Wales
and
the
Duke
of
York
to
come
in
;
by
which
time
,
if
they
do
not
,
that
then
they
may
immediately
be
declared
incapable
of
any
Trust
or
Government
in
this
Kingdom
,
or
its
Dominions
,
and
thence
to
stand
exiled
for
ever
,
as
Enemies
or
Traytors
,
to
die
without
mercy
if
ever
after
found
or
taken
therein
,
&c.
If
by
the
time
limited
they
do
render
themselves
,
that
then
the
Prince
be
proceeded
with
as
on
appearance
he
shall
give
satisfaction
or
not
;
and
then
the
Duke
as
he
shall
give
satisfaction
,
may
be
considered
as
to
future
Trust
or
not
.
That
the
Revenue
of
the
Crown
be
sequestred
.
But
however
,
that
the
Revenue
of
the
Crown
(
saving
necessary
allowances
for
the
Children
,
and
for
Servants
and
Creditors
to
the
Crown
)
be
Sequestred
,
and
the
costly
pomp
suspended
,
for
a
good
number
of
years
;
and
that
this
Revenue
be
for
that
time
disposed
toward
Publike
Charges
,
Debts
,
and
Damages
,
for
the
easing
of
the
people
;
so
as
the
Estates
neither
of
Friends
to
publique
Interest
,
nor
alone
of
inferior
Enemies
thereunto
,
may
bear
the
whole
burthen
of
that
loss
and
charge
,
which
by
and
for
that
Family
the
Kingdom
hath
been
put
unto
.
-
That
Capital
punishments
be
inflicted
on
some
Chief
Instruments
in
the
Wars
.
Thirdly
,
That
Capital
punishment
be
speedily
Executed
upon
a
competent
number
of
his
Chief
Instruments
also
,
both
in
former
and
later
Wars
;
and
that
some
of
both
sorts
be
pitcht
upon
,
as
are
really
in
your
hands
or
reach
.
-
Fourthly
,
That
the
rest
of
the
Delinquents
,
English
,
may
upon
rendring
themselves
to
Iustice
,
have
mercy
for
their
lives
,
and
that
only
Fines
be
set
upon
them
;
and
their
persons
declared
incapable
of
any
Publique
Trust
,
That
all
Delinq●ents
come
in
by
a
certain
day
,
or
their
Estates
be
confiscated
,
and
they
to
die
without
mercy
.
or
having
any
voice
in
Elections
thereto
,
at
least
for
a
good
number
of
years
:
And
that
a
short
day
may
be
set
by
which
all
such
Delinquents
may
come
in
:
and
for
those
who
come
not
in
by
that
day
,
that
their
Estates
be
absolutely
Confiscated
and
sold
to
the
Publike
use
,
and
their
Persons
stand
Exiled
as
Traytors
,
and
to
die
without
mercy
,
if
ever
after
found
in
the
Kingdom
or
its
Dominions
.
-
That
Fines
,
Compositions
,
and
Confiscations
be
disposed
for
the
payment
of
the
Souldiery
.
Fifthly
,
That
the
satisfaction
of
Arrears
to
the
Souldiery
,
with
other
publike
Debts
,
and
competent
reparations
of
publique
Damages
,
may
be
put
into
some
orderly
way
:
And
that
therefore
the
Fines
and
Compositions
of
Delinquents
be
disposed
to
those
uses
only
,
as
also
the
Confiscations
of
such
who
shall
be
excluded
from
Pardon
,
or
not
come
in
by
the
day
assigned
.
Now
after
Publique
Iustice
thus
provided
for
,
we
proceed
in
order
to
the
general
satisfaction
and
Settlement
of
the
Kingdom
.
That
the
Parliament
set
some
period
to
their
own
Power
.
First
,
That
you
would
set
some
reasonable
and
certain
period
to
your
own
Power
.
Secondly
,
That
with
a
period
to
this
Parliament
,
that
there
may
be
a
Settlement
of
the
Peace
and
future
Government
of
the
Kingdom
.
And
in
order
thereto
,
First
,
That
there
may
be
a
certain
Succession
of
future
Parliaments
,
Annual
or
Biennial
,
That
the
future
Government
of
of
the
Kingdom
may
be
setled
.
with
secure
provision
,
1.
For
the
certainty
of
their
Sitting
,
Meeting
,
and
Ending
.
2.
For
equal
Elections
.
3.
For
the
Peoples
meeting
to
Elect
:
Provided
that
none
engaged
in
War
against
the
Kingdom
,
may
Elect
or
be
Elected
,
nor
any
other
who
oppose
this
Settlement
.
4.
For
clearing
the
power
of
Parliaments
as
Supreme
;
only
they
may
not
give
away
any
Foundation
of
Common
Right
.
5.
For
liberty
of
Entring
Dissents
in
the
said
Representatives
,
that
the
people
may
know
who
are
fit
for
future
Trusts
;
but
without
any
penalty
for
their
free
Iudgments
.
That
no
King
be
hereafter
admitted
,
but
upon
Election
.
Thirdly
,
That
no
King
be
hereafter
admitted
,
but
upon
Election
of
,
and
as
upon
Trust
from
the
people
by
such
their
Representatives
;
nor
without
first
disclaiming
all
pretence
to
a
Negative
Voice
against
the
Determinations
of
the
Commons
in
Parliament
:
and
this
to
be
done
in
some
Form
more
clear
,
than
heretofore
in
the
Coronation-Oath
.
And
he
to
accord
to
these
Propositions
as
they
shall
be
established
by
the
Agreement
of
the
people
.
These
Matters
of
General
Settlement
,
we
propound
to
be
provided
by
the
Authority
of
the
Commons
in
this
Parliament
;
and
to
be
further
Established
by
a
general
Contract
or
Agreement
of
the
people
,
with
their
Subscriptions
thereunto
:
And
that
no
King
be
admitted
to
the
Crown
,
nor
other
person
to
any
Office
of
publique
Trust
,
without
express
Accord
and
Subscription
to
the
same
.
This
was
the
Basis
,
Method
,
and
Model
of
Cromwels
Tyranny
;
and
though
he
had
changed
his
pretences
,
according
to
the
exigences
of
time
and
occasions
,
yet
he
was
fixed
here
,
as
having
learnt
from
Matchiavel
,
Something
near
the
same
stuff
,
except
what
toucht
the
King
,
was
Signed
by
nine
Regiments
of
Horse
,
and
seven
of
Foot
,
and
afterward
promoted
in
London
by
Lieutenant-Colonel
Lilburne
,
and
Mr.
Prince
,
by
Petition
to
the
Parliament
,
who
condemned
both
,
Novemb.
1647.
and
yet
the
same
Moneth
next
year
it
revived
.
that
there
is
no
readier
way
to
an
Usurpation
,
than
by
destroying
the
Fundamental
Laws
and
Essentials
of
Government
,
and
proposing
pleasing
Innovations
to
the
Vulgar
.
This
he
drove
at
in
his
possessed
Servants
the
Levellers
,
whom
he
put
on
to
divulge
this
new
secret
of
Empire
;
The
Levellers
set
on
by
Cromwel
to
prosecute
this
designe
.
but
they
thundering
of
it
out
(
and
to
try
its
acceptance
)
as
the
rain
in
unseasonable
weather
,
he
was
content
to
abandon
them
to
a
shower
of
Bullets
,
influenced
on
one
of
his
prime
Bo●tefeus
,
by
the
Command
of
the
Parliament
to
the
General
,
as
beforesaid
,
in
1647
at
Ware
.
For
observe
the
trace
of
his
Policie
after
this
Critical
Juncture
,
when
he
had
superated
all
difficulties
,
and
removed
all
obstacles
;
and
you
shall
see
how
sequaciously
he
copied
these
Articles
of
Agreement
(
as
they
were
called
)
of
the
people
.
First
,
Destroy
the
King
as
a
Tyrant
,
then
exclude
the
Royal
Progeny
,
then
disable
its
potent
Friends
,
and
ingratiate
with
the
mean
.
Next
,
Gratifie
and
engage
the
Souldiers
with
promise
of
Arrears
and
Establishment
.
Then
the
next
subsequent
great
work
is
the
dissolution
of
the
Parliament
;
then
a
Chimaera
of
Government
,
such
as
Barebones
Convention
:
And
lastly
,
A
pretended
Elective
Tyranny
,
under
the
Style
of
Protector
;
which
his
impiety
afforded
him
not
only
to
subscribe
,
but
to
swear
to
.
The
ill
news
of
this
pestilent
Paper
flew
amain
to
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
where
the
King
surprised
with
this
monstrous
disloyalty
,
at
the
reading
of
it
to
him
at
Newport
,
propounded
these
Queries
.
-
1.
Whether
this
Remonstrance
be
agreeable
to
the
former
Declarations
of
the
Army
?
The
Kings
Queries
to
the
Remonstrance
.
and
if
not
Whether
the
Parliament
would
maze
good
their
Votes
,
that
after
he
had
consented
to
what
they
desired
,
he
should
be
in
a
capacity
of
Honour
,
Freedom
,
and
Safety
?
-
2.
Whether
his
acknowledgment
of
the
Blood
that
hath
been
spilt
in
the
late
Wars
(
nothing
being
as
yet
absolutely
concluding
or
binding
)
could
be
urged
so
far
,
as
to
be
made
use
of
by
way
of
evidence
against
him
,
or
any
of
his
party
?
-
3.
Whether
the
Arguments
that
he
hath
used
in
a
free
and
personal
Treaty
,
to
lessen
,
or
extenuate
,
and
avoid
the
exactness
of
the
Conditions
,
though
in
manner
and
form
only
,
might
be
charged
against
him
as
an
act
of
obstinacie
,
or
wilful
persistence
in
what
is
alledged
against
him
,
in
that
he
goes
on
in
a
destructive
course
,
and
enmity
against
the
People
and
Laws
of
the
Land
;
when
he
hath
declared
,
that
his
Conscience
was
satisfied
concerning
divers
parti●ulars
in
the
Propositions
?
-
4.
Whereas
by
the
Letter
of
the
Law
,
all
persons
charged
to
offend
against
the
Law
ought
to
be
tried
by
their
Peers
or
Equals
,
what
the
Law
is
if
the
person
questioned
is
without
a
Peer
?
And
if
the
Law
(
which
of
it self
is
but
a
dead
Letter
)
seems
to
condemn
him
,
by
what
Power
shall
Iudgment
be
given
,
and
who
shall
judge
it
,
or
from
whence
shall
the
Administrators
of
such
Iudgment
derive
their
power
,
which
may
(
by
the
same
Law
)
be
deemed
the
Supreme
Power
or
Authority
of
Magistracie
in
the
Kingdom
?
These
his
Queries
were
resolved
no
otherwise
,
A
strict
Guard
put
upon
the
King
.
than
by
a
strict
Guard
put
upon
him
;
so
that
the
Commissioners
coming
to
receive
his
Answer
of
him
,
he
told
them
be
thought
to
have
sent
his
Answer
sealed
,
because
he
had
been
prejudiced
by
sending
others
open
:
but
since
his
condition
could
not
be
worse
(
no
body
suffered
to
speak
with
him
without
suspition
)
he
had
sent
it
open
;
and
reading
it
,
desired
their
opinion
;
who
told
him
,
they
thought
it
would
procure
a
well-grounded
Peace
.
He
then
desired
them
to
put
a
good
Interpretation
upon
his
manage
of
this
Treaty
,
and
those
vehement
expressions
in
some
of
his
Debates
,
there
being
nothing
in
his
Intentions
but
kindness
;
&
acknowledged
their
abilities
which
had
taken
him
off
from
some
of
his
own
opinions
;
as
he
doubted
not
,
if
they
had
had
power
to
recede
,
he
could
have
prevailed
upon
theirs
;
as
also
,
if
he
had
been
present
,
upon
the
two
Houses
.
And
he
desires
them
to
use
the
same
freedom
and
instance
to
his
two
Houses
,
to
indulge
his
Conscience
wherein
he
cannot
be
satisfied
,
and
to
represent
him
candidly
to
his
two
Houses
,
since
he
hath
parted
with
all
how
near
or
dear
soever
,
but
wherein
his
Conscience
is
unsatisfied
.
And
at
their
taking
leave
,
he
added
these
Pathetick
Sentences
.
—
MY
LORDS
,
You
are
come
to
take
your
leave
of
me
,
and
I
believe
,
we
shall
scarce
see
each
other
again
;
His
Majesties
Pathetick
Expressions
to
the
Parliaments
Commissioners
at
parting
.
but
God's
Will
be
done
.
I
thank
God
I
have
made
my
Peace
with
him
,
and
shall
without
fear
undergo
what
he
shall
be
pleased
to
suffer
men
to
do
unto
me
.
—
My
Lords
,
You
cannot
but
know
,
that
in
my
Fall
and
Ruine
you
see
your
own
,
and
that
also
near
to
you
.
I
pray
God
send
you
better
Friends
than
I
have
found
.
—
I
am
fully
informed
of
the
whole
Plot
and
Carriage
against
me
and
mine
;
and
nothing
so
much
afflicts
me
,
as
the
sense
and
feeling
I
have
of
the
sufferings
of
my
Subjects
,
and
the
miseries
that
hang
over
my
three
Kingdoms
,
drawn
upon
them
by
those
,
who
upon
the
pretences
of
good
,
violently
pursue
their
own
Interests
and
Ends.
After
which
,
he
presently
withdrew
himself
to
his
Guards
.
Let
the
Reader
give
me
leave
to
compleat
his
sorrow
with
this
last
Captive
Breath
of
the
King
's
in
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
and
I
am
confident
he
will
not
blame
me
for
vouchsafing
him
a
Sympathy
or
Part
in
this
Threnody
and
Lamentation
,
sinc●
it
was
delivered
to
one
of
his
Servants
just
at
his
departure
thence
,
and
Commanded
by
him
to
be
published
for
the
satisfaction
of
all
his
Subjects
.
His
Majesties
Declaration
concerning
the
Treaty
,
and
his
dislike
of
the
Armies
proceedings
.
WHen
large
Pretences
prove
but
the
shadows
of
weak
Performances
,
then
the
greatest
Labours
produce
the
smallest
Effects
;
and
when
a
period
is
put
to
a
Work
of
great
Concernment
,
all
mens
ears
do
as
it
were
hunger
,
till
they
are
satisfied
in
their
Expectations
.
Hath
not
this
distracted
Nation
groaned
a
long
time
under
the
burden
of
Tyranny
and
Oppression
?
And
hath
not
all
the
Blood
that
hath
been
spilt
these
seven
years
been
cast
upon
my
Head
,
who
am
the
greatest
Sufferer
,
though
the
least
guilty
?
And
was
it
not
requisite
to
endeavour
the
stopping
of
that
Flux
,
which
if
not
stopt
will
bring
an
absolute
destruction
to
this
Nation
?
And
what
more
speedy
way
was
there
to
consummate
those
distractions
,
than
by
a
Personal
Treaty
being
agreed
on
by
my
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
and
condescended
to
by
me
?
And
I
might
Declare
,
that
I
conceive
it
had
been
Physick
,
had
not
the
Operation
been
hindred
by
the
interposition
of
this
Imperious
Army
,
who
were
so
audacious
,
as
to
stile
me
in
their
unparallel'd
Remonstrance
,
their
Capital
Enemy
.
But
let
the
world
judge
,
whether
my
endeavours
have
not
been
attended
with
reality
in
this
late
Treaty
;
and
whether
I
was
not
as
ready
to
grant
as
they
to
ask
?
and
yet
all
this
is
not
satisfaction
to
them
that
pursue
their
own
ambitious
Ends
,
more
than
the
welfare
of
a
miserable
Land
.
Were
not
the
dying
hearts
of
my
poor
distressed
People
much
revived
with
the
hopes
of
a
happiness
from
this
Treaty
?
and
how
suddenly
are
they
frustrated
in
theire
xpectations
!
Have
I
not
formerly
been
condemned
,
for
yielding
too
little
to
my
Houses
of
Parliament
,
and
must
I
now
be
condemned
for
yielding
too
much
?
Have
I
not
formerly
been
imprisoned
for
making
War
,
and
shall
I
now
be
condemned
for
making
Peace
?
Have
I
not
formerly
enjoyed
the
society
of
my
dear
Wife
and
Children
in
peace
and
quietness
,
and
shall
I
now
neither
enjoy
them
nor
Peace
?
Have
not
my
Subjects
formerly
obeyed
me
,
and
shall
I
now
be
obedient
to
my
Subjects
?
Have
not
I
been
condemned
for
Evil
Counsellours
,
and
shall
I
now
be
condemned
for
having
no
Counsel
but
God
?
These
are
unutterable
miseries
,
that
the
more
I
endeavour
for
Peace
,
the
less
my
endeavours
are
respected
:
and
how
shall
I
hereafter
know
what
to
grant
,
when
your selves
know
not
what
to
ask
?
I
refer
it
to
your
Consciences
,
whether
I
have
not
satisfied
your
desires
in
every
particular
since
in
this
Treaty
:
if
you
find
I
have
not
,
then
let
me
bear
the
burthen
of
the
fault
;
but
if
I
have
given
you
ample
satisfaction
(
as
I
am
sure
I
have
)
then
you
are
bound
to
vindicate
me
from
the
●ury
of
those
,
whose
thoughts
are
filled
with
blood
:
though
they
pretend
zeal
,
yet
they
are
but
Wolves
in
Sheeps
cloathing
.
I
must
further
Declare
,
that
I
conceive
there
is
nothing
can
more
obstruct
the
long-hoped-for
Peace
of
this
Nation
,
than
the
illegal
proceedings
of
them
that
presume
from
Servants
to
become
Masters
,
and
labour
to
bring
in
Democracie
,
and
to
abolish
Monarchy
.
Needs
must
the
total
alteration
of
Fundamentals
be
not
only
destructive
to
others
,
but
in
conclusion
to
themselves
;
for
they
that
endeavour
to
rule
by
the
Sword
,
shall
at
last
fall
by
it
:
for
Faction
is
the
Mother
of
Ruine
,
and
it
is
the
humour
of
those
that
are
of
this
Weather-cock-disposition
,
to
love
nothing
but
Mutabilities
;
neither
will
that
please
them
but
only
pro
tempore
,
for
too
much
variety
doth
but
confound
the
senses
,
and
make
them
still
hate
one
folly
,
and
fall
in
love
with
another
.
Time
is
the
best
cure
for
Faction
;
for
it
will
at
length
(
like
a
spreading
Leprosie
)
infect
the
whole
Body
of
the
Kingdon
,
and
make
it
so
odious
,
that
at
last
they
will
hate
themselves
for
love
of
that
;
and
like
the
Fish
,
for
love
of
the
Bait
be
catched
with
the
Hook
.
I
once
more
declare
to
all
my
loving
Subjects
,
and
God
knows
whether
or
no
this
may
be
my
last
,
that
I
have
earnestly
laboured
for
Peace
,
and
that
my
thoughts
were
sincere
and
absolute
,
without
sinister
ends
;
and
that
there
was
nothing
left
undone
by
me
,
that
my
Conscience
would
permit
me
to
do
.
And
I
call
God
to
witness
,
that
I
do
firmly
conceive
,
that
the
interposition
of
the
Army
(
that
Cloud
of
Malice
)
hath
altogether
eclipsed
the
glory
of
that
Peace
,
which
began
again
to
shine
in
this
Land
.
And
let
the
world
judge
,
whether
it
be
expedient
for
an
Army
to
contradict
the
Votes
of
a
Kingdom
,
endeavouring
by
pretending
for
Laws
and
Liberties
to
subvert
both
.
Such
acts
as
these
must
produce
strange
consequences
,
and
set
open
the
flood-gates
of
ruine
,
to
over-flow
this
Kingdom
in
a
moment
.
Had
this
Treaty
been
only
mine
own
seeking
,
then
they
might
have
had
fairer
pretences
to
have
stopt
the
course
of
it
;
but
I
being
importuned
by
my
two
Houses
,
and
they
by
most
part
of
the
Kingdom
,
could
not
but
with
a
great
deal
of
alacrity
concur
with
them
in
their
desires
,
to
the
performance
of
so
commodious
a
work
.
And
I
hope
by
this
time
,
that
the
hearts
and
eyes
of
my
people
are
opened
so
much
,
that
they
plainly
discover
who
are
the
underminers
of
this
Treaty
.
For
my
part
,
I
here
protest
before
the
Face
of
Heaven
,
that
my
own
afflictions
(
though
they
need
no
addition
)
afflict
me
not
so
much
as
my
peoples
sufferings
,
for
I
know
what
to
trust
to
already
,
and
they
know
not
:
God
comfort
both
them
and
me
,
and
proportion
our
patience
to
our
sufferings
.
And
when
the
malice
of
mine
Enemies
is
spun
out
to
the
smallest
thread
,
let
them
know
that
I
will
by
the
Grace
of
God
,
be
as
contented
to
suffer
,
as
they
are
active
to
advance
my
Sufferings
;
and
mine
own
Soul
tells
me
,
that
the
time
will
come
when
the
very
Clouds
shall
drop
down
vengeance
upon
the
heads
of
those
that
barricado
themselves
against
the
proceedings
of
Peace
;
for
if
God
hath
proclaimed
a
blessing
to
the
Peace-makers
,
needs
must
the
Peace-breakers
draw
down
curses
upon
their
heads
.
I
thank
my
God
I
have
armed
my self
against
their
fury
;
and
let
the
Arrows
of
their
envy
fly
at
me
,
I
have
a
breast
to
receive
them
,
and
a
heart
possest
with
patience
to
sustain
them
:
for
God
is
my
Rock
and
my
Shield
,
therefore
I
will
not
fear
what
men
can
do
unto
me
.
I
will
expect
the
worst
;
and
if
any
thing
happen
beyond
my
expectation
,
I
will
give
God
the
Glory
,
for
vain
is
the
help
of
man
.
The
Presbyterians
satisfied
with
this
Declaration
,
and
troubled
at
the
proceedings
of
the
Army
.
This
Declaration
gave
entire
and
compleat
satisfaction
to
the
most
refractory
of
the
Presbyterian
Party
,
who
when
too
late
perceived
their
untoward
scuffling
and
debating
with
so
excellent
a
Prince
,
had
brought
him
and
themselves
to
ruine
,
together
with
three
Kingdoms
;
the
care
of
which
,
when
his
Protection
failed
,
the
King
as
his
last
and
most
incumbent
business
resumed
in
this
following
Letter
.
For
having
thus
resigned
himself
into
the
hands
of
God
,
and
patiently
submitted
to
his
Cross
,
he
in
a
way
of
renunciation
and
Self-deposition
of
his
Government
,
transferred
and
bequeathed
the
Scepter
,
with
these
following
excellent
Advices
,
to
his
Son
the
Prince
.
Newport
,
Novemb.
29.
1648.
SON
,
His
Majesties
Letter
to
the
Prince
his
Son
,
our
present
Sovereign
.
BY
what
hath
been
said
,
you
may
see
how
long
We
have
laboured
in
the
search
of
Peace
:
Do
not
you
be
discouraged
to
tread
those
ways
in
all
worthy
means
to
restore
your self
to
your
Right
,
but
prefer
the
way
of
Peace
:
Shew
the
greatness
of
your
mind
,
rather
to
Conquer
your
Enemies
by
pardoning
,
than
by
punishing
.
If
you
saw
how
unmanly
and
unchristian
this
implacable
disposition
is
in
Our
Ill-willers
,
you
would
avoid
that
spirit
.
Censure
Vs
not
for
having
parted
with
too
much
of
Our
own
Right
;
the
Price
was
great
,
the
Commodity
was
Security
to
us
,
Peace
to
Our
People
.
And
We
are
confident
another
Parliament
would
remember
how
useful
a
Kings
Power
is
to
a
Peoples
Liberty
;
and
of
how
much
We
have
devested
Our Self
,
that
We
and
they
might
meet
again
in
a
due
Parliamentary
way
,
to
agree
the
Bounds
for
Prince
and
People
.
And
in
this
give
belief
to
Our
Experience
,
never
to
affect
more
Greatness
or
Prerogative
,
than
what
is
really
and
intrinsecally
for
the
good
of
your
Subjects
(
not
satisfaction
of
Favourites
.
)
And
if
you
thus
use
it
,
you
will
never
want
means
to
be
a
Father
to
all
,
and
a
bountifull
Prince
to
any
you
would
be
extraordinarily
gracious
unto
.
You
may
perceive
all
men
trust
their
Treasure
where
it
returns
them
Interest
;
and
if
Princes
,
like
the
Sea
,
receive
and
repay
all
the
fresh
Streams
and
Rivers
trust
them
with
,
they
will
not
grudge
,
but
pride
themselves
to
make
up
an
Ocean
.
These
considerations
may
make
you
a
Great
Prince
,
as
your
Father
is
now
a
low
one
;
and
your
State
may
be
so
much
the
more
established
,
as
mine
hath
been
shaken
.
For
Subjects
have
learned
(
We
dare
say
)
that
Victories
over
their
Prince
,
are
but
Triumphs
over
themselves
;
and
so
will
be
the
more
unwilling
to
hearken
to
Changes
hereafter
.
The
English
Nation
are
a
sober
people
,
however
at
present
under
some
infatuation
.
We
know
not
,
but
this
may
be
the
last
time
We
may
speak
to
you
or
the
world
publikely
.
We
are
sensible
into
what
hands
We
are
fallen
;
and
yet
we
bless
God
we
have
those
inward
refreshments
,
that
the
malice
of
Our
Enemies
cannot
disturb
.
To
conclude
,
His
excellent
Advice
to
him
▪
if
God
give
you
Success
,
use
it
humbly
,
and
far
from
Revenge
:
If
he
restore
you
to
your
Rights
upon
hard
Conditions
,
whatever
you
promise
keep
.
Those
men
which
have
forced
Laws
which
they
were
bound
to
observe
,
will
find
their
Triumphs
full
of
troubles
.
Do
not
think
any
thing
in
this
world
worth
obtaining
by
force
and
unjust
means
.
You
are
the
Son
of
Our
Love
,
and
as
We
direct
you
to
what
We
have
recommended
to
you
,
so
We
assure
you
We
do
not
more
affectionately
pray
for
you
,
to
whom
We
are
a
Natural
Parent
,
than
We
do
that
the
antient
Glory
and
Renown
of
this
Nation
be
not
buried
in
Irreligion
and
Fanatick
Humour
,
and
that
all
Our
Subjects
(
to
whom
We
are
a
Politick
Parent
)
may
have
such
sober
thoughts
,
as
to
seek
their
Peace
in
the
Orthodox
Profession
of
the
Christian
Religion
,
as
it
was
established
since
the
Reformation
in
this
Kingdom
,
and
not
in
new
Revelations
;
and
that
the
antient
Laws
,
with
the
Interpretation
according
to
known
Practices
,
may
once
again
be
a
hedge
about
them
;
that
You
may
in
due
time
Govern
,
and
they
be
Governed
as
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
.
The
Commissioners
are
gone
,
the
Corn
is
now
on
the
Ground
;
We
expect
the
Harvest
:
if
the
Fruit
be
Peace
,
we
hope
the
God
of
Peace
will
in
time
reduce
all
to
Truth
and
Order
again
;
which
that
he
may
do
,
is
the
Prayer
of
C.
R.
With
this
his
Majesties
final
account
of
this
unconsummated
Treaty
,
I
will
conclude
all
his
State-Missives
and
Papers
,
the
justice
and
reasonableness
whereof
no
doubt
will
be
so
convincing
,
that
there
needed
no
other
Pen
to
assert
his
Quarrel
.
As
he
was
the
chief
Subject
of
this
History
,
so
was
he
the
Life
of
it
,
affording
it
the
greatest
light
of
Truth
towards
its
composition
;
so
that
these
his
happy
Labours
shall
perpetuate
his
just
Renown
,
and
make
his
Moral
and
intellectual
Virtues
endure
together
,
enshrined
in
the
hearts
of
pious
Posterity
:
To
contribute
whereto
,
as
far
as
my
humble
devoir
would
reach
,
I
have
made
these
Collections
;
and
so
with
reverential
leave
to
their
blessed
Author
,
I
proceed
in
this
Chronicle
.
The
Army
conspire
to
force
the
House
.
In
pursuance
of
that
accursed
Remonstrance
presented
the
20
of
November
aforesaid
,
Cromwel
drew
the
Army
into
the
Suburbs
of
London
,
quartering
them
at
the
Mews
and
at
York-house
(
and
afterwards
into
London
it self
)
the
General
quartering
himself
at
Whitehall
,
to
keep
the
King
out
in
defiance
of
the
Treaty
,
with
a
resolution
to
awe
the
Parliament
into
a
non-compliance
with
his
Majesty
,
whose
great
and
most
reasonable
Arguments
for
a
Composure
,
and
his
un-exampled
Condescentions
in
order
thereunto
,
they
could
neither
fairly
refel
or
honestly
refuse
.
But
notwithstanding
,
such
was
the
justice
of
God
in
favour
of
his
Majesties
Cause
,
that
the
Parliament
who
had
so
obstinately
and
dilatorily
(
to
the
ruine
of
the
Kingdom
)
rejected
all
his
other
Accommodations
,
closed
with
him
now
.
For
upon
the
4th
of
December
,
the
Question
being
put
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
Whether
the
Kings
Answer
was
satisfactory
or
no
?
(
though
the
Army-party
argued
that
they
were
not
satisfactory
,
because
the
King
had
not
granted
all
their
Propositions
in
terms
(
contrary
to
the
nature
of
all
Treaties
,
where
something
must
be
bated
on
both
parts
)
and
so
kept
the
business
in
question
(
until
8
a
Clock
at
night
next
day
,
being
Tuesday
the
5●h
of
December
)
the
Independents
hoping
(
by
their
usual
trick
)
to
tire
out
the
moderate
Party
)
it
was
then
Resolved
,
The
Parliament
Vote
the
Kings
Answer
satisfactory
,
Dec.
5.
That
the
Answers
of
the
King
to
the
Propositions
of
both
Houses
,
are
a
Ground
for
both
Houses
to
proceed
upon
,
for
the
Settlement
of
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
.
This
being
carried
Affirmatively
,
and
that
so
clearly
,
that
the
House
was
not
divided
about
it
;
to
secure
this
Vote
,
and
the
earnest
of
a
Peace
,
a
Committee
of
six
Members
was
appointed
to
attend
the
General
,
to
keep
a
good
Correspondencie
,
&c.
but
we
shall
now
see
Hell
broke
loose
in
the
Armes
Insolencies
and
Violence
.
For
these
Caitiffs
understanding
the
courage
and
honesty
of
the
House
,
resolved
to
play
no
longer
with
the
weak
Reed
of
Priviledge
,
but
with
a
bold
Sword
to
solve
the
Oracle
of
their
Villanies
,
in
th●s●
ensuing
complicated
mischiefs
.
To
this
purpose
,
Pride
,
Hewson
,
and
other
Officers
,
having
had
some
Conference
in
Westminster
Hall
the
Doors
being
shut
)
with
the
Speaker
,
sent
in
a
Paper
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
The
Army
require
that
the
I●p●a●hed
Members
and
Major-General
Brown
be
secured
and
brought
to
Iustice
.
Requiring
the
Impeached
Members
and
Major-General
Brown
(
as
guilty
of
calling
in
Hamilton
)
to
be
secured
and
brought
to
Iustice
;
and
that
the
ninety
and
odd
Members
,
who
refused
to
Vote
against
the
late
Sco●ch
Engagement
▪
and
all
that
Voted
for
recaling
the
four
Votes
of
Non-Addresses
,
and
Voted
for
a
Treaty
,
and
concurred
in
the
Yesterday's
acquiescing
Vote
in
his
Majesties
Answers
,
may
be
immediately
suspended
the
House
;
and
that
all
such
faithful
Members
,
who
are
innocent
of
those
Votes
,
would
by
Protestation
acquit
themselves
from
any
concurrence
(
that
so
they
might
know
their
own
Goats
)
and
so
be
distinguished
.
To
this
Paper
they
admitted
no
demur
,
not
caring
for
,
or
not
daigning
them
the
consideration
of
an
Answer
,
but
presently
brought
three
or
four
Regiments
of
Horse
and
Foot
,
The

Col.

,
Col.
Hewson

Members

6.
and
set
strong
Guards
at
the
Houses-doors
,
the
Lobby-stairs
,
and
every
where
about
the
Palace
,
admitting
none
but
Parliament-men
into
the
Hall
;
where
the
said
two
Colonels
,
and
Sir
Hardress
Waller
violently
seized
upon
divers
Knights
and
Burgesses
of
the
Parliament
,
and
forcibly
carried
them
away
Prisoners
;
others
were
by
feigned
excuses
called
out
of
the
House
,
and
then
pull'd
away
,
and
committed
likewise
without
any
Warrant
or
cause
shewn
.
And
though
the
House
remaining
sent
the
Serjeant
of
Mace
to
command
their
attendance
,
(
when
Pride
would
not
suffer
him
to
pass
)
and
sent
likewise
to
the
General
about
it
,
declaring
they
would
not
proceed
in
any
business
without
them
;
yet
the
secured
Members
were
still
kept
indurance
,
while
the
Rump
(
or
Conventicle
)
became
of
the
Armies
Complexion
,
and
so
prevaricated
,
and
deserted
their
Fellows
.
The
Gentlemen
thus
detained
,
were
afterwards
listed
in
a
Catalogue
by
Hugh
Peters
,
Hugh
Peters

Agent
for
the
Army
in
this
Designe
.
and
carried
to
a
Victualling-place
called
Hell
,
being
number
41.
where
they
were
kept
without
Beds
,
or
other
fitting
accommodation
all
that
night
;
and
the
next
day
,
after
a
tedious
attendance
on
the
Council
of
Officers
,
were
committed
Prisoners
under
Guard
to
two
several
Inns
in
the
Strand
.
Besides
these
,

several
days
with

debarred

160

besides
40
more
who
voluntarily
withdrew
to
avoid
their
violence

Ireton
insolently
bidding
them
to
look
to
themselves
,
and
to
act
nothing
against
the
present
Parliament
and
Army
at
their
peril
.
But
Major-General
Brown
was
sent
Prisoner
to
St.
Iames's
,
where
they
would
have
put
a
trick
upon
him
,
by
a
forged
Letter
brought
thither
and
delivered
him
(
which
he
understanding
their
Plot
,
Major-General
Brown

have

read
)
as
from
the
Prince

The
Messenger
seeing
his

would
not
take
,
threw
the
Paper
into
the
fire
,
and
escaped
,
as
was
forelaid
:
He
was
afterwards
sent
prisoner
to
Windsor

The

met
and

at

was
afterwards
delivered
by

their
own
.
The
first
Question
started
by
some
Lords
(
who
had
rather
had
a
thinner
House
)
was
,
Whether
it
should
be
presently
debated
;
which
was
affirmed
.
The
first
Debate
was
upon
the
Declaratory
Vote
,
to
which
the
Earl
of
Manchester
said
,
That
the
Parliament
of
England
by
the
Fundamental
Laws
,
consisted
of
three
Estates
;
King
,
Lords
,
and
Commons
;
whereof
the
King
is
the
first
and
chiefest
:
He
Calls
and
Dissolves
Parliaments
,
and
without
him
there
can
be
no
Parliament
;
and
therefore
it
's
absurd
to
say
,
the
King
can
be
a
Traytor
against
the
Parliament
.
Then
the
Earl
of
Northumberland
added
,
That
the
greatest
part
,
at
least
twenty
to
one
of
the
people
of
England
,
were
not
yet
satisfied
,
whether
the
King
Levied
War
first
against
the
Houses
,
or
the
Houses
against
him
?
And
if
the
King
did
Levy
War
first
against
the
Houses
,
there
is
no
Law
to
make
it
Treason
in
him
:
And
for
them
to
declare
Treason
by
an
Ordinance
,
when
the
matter
of
Fact
is
not
proved
;
nor
any
Law
extant
to
judge
it
by
,
is
very
unreasonable
.
The
Earls
of
Pembroke
and
Denbigh
said
,
The
Lords
cast
out
the
Ordinance
,
and
adjourned
for
7
days
.
they
would
be
torn
in
pieces
before
they
would
assent
with
the
Commons
;
so
the
Lords
cast
off
the
Debate
,
and
cast
out
the
Ordinance
,
and
adjourned
for
seven
days
.
This
netled
the
Commons
,
who
thereupon
resolved
to
rid
their
hands
of
King
,
The
Commons
netled
,
they
resolve
to
rid
their
hands
of
King
,
Lords
,
and
dissenting
Commons
.
Lords
,
and
their
Fellow-Commons
together
,
by
a
leading
Vote
,
That
all
Members
of
Committees
should
proceed
and
act
in
any
Ordinance
wherein
the
Lords
were
joyned
,
though
the
Peers
should
not
Sit
nor
concur
with
them
.
And
added
thereunto
three
other
Democratical
Resolves
,
Ian.

1648.
1.
That
the
People
are
under
God
the
Original
of
all
just
Power
.
2.
That
the
Commons
of
England
in
Parliament
Assembled
,
chosen
by
and
Representing
the
People
,
have
the
Supreme
Power
of
the
Nation
.
3.
That
whatsoever
is
enacted
or
declared
for
Law
by
the
House
of
Commons
Assembled
in
Parliament
,
hath
the
force
of
Law
.
Which
passed
without
one
Negative
Voice
;
which
shewed
at
whose
beck
they
were
.
And
thus
first
they
hatcht
this
Monster
,
called
An
Act
for
the
Trial
of
the
King
,
&c.
which
is
here
transcribed
;
transferring
the
names
of
the
Commissioners
to
their
ensuing
Character
.
An
Act
of
Parliament
of
the
House
of
Commons
for
Trial
of
Charles
Stuart
King
of
England
.
An
Act
of
the
House
of
Commons
for
the
Tryal
of
King
Charles
the
First
.
WHereas
it
is
notorious
,
that
Charles
Stuart
the
now
King
of
England
,
not
content
with
the
many
Encroachments
which
his
Predecessors
had
made
upon
the
People
in
their
Rights
and
Freedom
,
hath
had
a
wicked
designe
to
subvert
the
Antient
and
Fundamental
Laws
and
Liberties
of
this
Nation
,
and
in
their
place
to
introduce
an
Arbitrary
and
Tyrannical
Government
;
and
that
besides
all
other
evil
ways
to
bring
his
designe
to
pass
,
he
hath
prosecuted
it
with
Fire
and
Sword
,
levied
and
maintained
a
Civil
War
in
the
Land
,
against
the
Parliament
and
Kingdom
;
whereby
this
Country
hath
been
miserably
wasted
,
the
Publique
Treasure
exhi●●ted
,
Trade
decreased
,
thousands
of
people
murthered
,
and
infinite
other
mischiefs
committed
;
for
all
which
high
offences
,
the
said
Charles
Stuart
might
long
since
have
been
brought
to
exemplary
and
condign
punishment
.
Whereas
also
the
Parliament
,
well
hoping
that
the
restraint
and
imprisonment
of
his
person
,
after
it
had
pleased
God
to
deliver
him
into
their
hands
,
would
have
quieted
the
distempers
of
the
Kingdom
,
did
forbear
to
proceed
judicially
against
him
,
but
f●und
by
sad
experience
,
that
such
their
remisness
,
served
only
to
encourage
him
and
his
Complices
in
the
continuance
of
their
evil
practices
,
and
in
raising
new
Com●●tions
,
Rebellions
and
Practises
.
For
prevention
of
the
like
and
greater
inconveniences
,
and
to
the
end
no
Chief
Officer
or
Magistrate
may
hereafter
presume
traiterously
and
maliciously
to
imagine
or
contrive
the
enslaving
or
destroying
of
the
English
Nation
,
and
to
expect
impunity
:
Be

This
Act
was
followed
by
a
Proclamation
Ianuary

made
by
Serjeant
Dendy
,
Jan.
9.
Serjeant
Dendy
makes
Proclamation
,
that
the
Commissioners
of
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
were
to
sit
the
next
day
,
and
all
persons
invited
to
give
in
Evidence
against
Charles
Stuart
.
by
sound
of
Drums
and
Trumpets
,
and
Guards
of
Horse
and
Foot
in
Westminster-Hall
,
whereby
notice
was
given
,
that
the
Commissioners
of
the
(
pretended
)
High
Court
of
Justice
were
to
sit
down
on
the
morrow
,
and
that
all
those
that
had
any
thing
to
say
against
Charles
Stuart
King
of
England
,
might
be
heard
.
The
like
was
done
in
Cheap-side
,
and
the
old
Exchange
.
The
Actors
or
Tragical
Persons
in
this
Ordinance
,
were
stumbled
at
several
illegalities
and
irregularities
thereof
,
which
in
a
presumptuous
confidence
(
as
drunken
men
passing
over
a
dangerous
Bridge
)
then
yet
slighted
.
But
when
it
was
perfected
,
and
the
consummatory
part
of
the
Seal
to
be
affixed
,
and
the
whole
result
to
be
warranted
thereby
,
they
were
at
a
stand
,
as
knowing
the
Kings
Seal
could
not
be
made
use
of
against
him
;
Proclaimed
in
three
places
,
Westminster
,
Cheap-side
,
and
the
Old
Exchange
.
while
the
Army-Familiars
inspired
them
,
that
the
King
and
his
Seal
was
alike
unnecessary
,
and
that
they
must
now
(
according
to
their
advice
)
act
by
themselves
and
their
own
Authority
;
which
direction
they
followed
,
and
gave
order
for
a
new
Seal
to
their
ensuing
Acts
as
hereafter
.
We
have
omitted
the
Cypher-Names
specified
in
the
said
pretended
Act
,
because
cause
many
of
them
,
upon
reluctancie
of
Conscience
,
or
more
happy
perswasions
of
Friends
,
did
not
undertake
the
Impiety
;
as
also
,
because
we
would
not
defame
the
Names
of
those
Lords
and
Peers
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Judges
(
whose
Function
instructed
them
to
the
contrary
)
that
were
invited
,

listed

by
the
same
Treasonable
Combination
,
The
Names

so
pined
at

that
taking
a
just
desperation

he
died

Two
Terms

Perpetration
of
the
Kings
Murther
,
he
had
took
the
Oath
of
Allegeance
as
a
Serjeant
at

being
called
to
that
Dignity
from
the
scolding
and
railing
of
Guild-hall
London
,
to
convitiate
and
reproach
his
most
peaceable
Sovereign
.
He
grew
conscious
(
as
to
the
safety
of
his
Body
)
of
his
Fact
,
when
he
shewed
his
aversness
to
Oliver

very
name

a
Single
Person
frighting
him
;

so
cauterized

departed

obstinacie

Fact

presuming

High
Court
of

,
as
a
Prisoner
,
was
commanded
to
bring
him
to
the
Court
;
who
within
a
quarter
of
an
hours
space
brought
him
,
attended
with
about
twenty
Officers
with
Partizans
marching
before
him

there
being
Colonel
Hacker
and
other
Guard-men

to
whose
care
and
custody
he
was
then
committed

marching

Being
thus
brought
up
within
the
face
of
the
Court
,
He
is
brought
to
the
Bar
,
a

of
crimson-Velvet
set
for
him
.
the
Serjeant
at
Arms
,
with
his
Mace
,
received
and
conducted
him
streight
to
the
Bar
,
where
a
Crimson-Velvet
Chair
was
set
for
the
King
.
After
a
stern
looking
upon
the
Court
,
and
the
people
in
the
Galleries
on
each
side
of
him
,
he
placed
himself
,
not
at
all
moving
his
Hat
,
or
otherwise
shewing
the
least
respect
to
the
Court
;
but
presently
rose
up
again
,
and
turned
about
,
looking
downwards
upon
the
Guards
placed
on
the
left
side
,
and
on
the

of
Spectators

After
Silence
made
among
the
people
,
the
Act
of
Parliament
for
the
Trying
of
Charles
Stuart
King
of
England
,
was
read
over
by
the
Clerk

;
who
sate
on
one
side
of
the
Table
covered
with
a
rich
Turkey-carpet
,
and
placed
at
the
feet
of
the
said

;
upon

Table
was
also
laid
the
Sword
and
Mace
.
After
reading
the
said
Act
,
The
Names
of
the
Commissioners
read
.
the
several
names
of
the
Commissioners
were
called
over
;
every
one
who
was
present
,
rising
up
,
and
answering
to
his
call
.
The
King
having
again
placed
himself
in
his
Chair
,
with
his
face
towards
the
Court
,
Silence
being
again
ordered
,
the

stood
up

and
said
;
President

Charles

The

speech
to
the
King
.
King
of
England
,
The
Commons
of
England
Assembled
in
Parliament
,
being
deeply
sensible
of
the
Calamities
that
have
been
brought
upon
this
Nation
,
(
which
is
fixed
upon
you
as
the
principal
Author
of
it
)
have
resolved
to
make
inquisition
for
Blood
,
and
according
to
that
debt
and
duty
they
owe
to
Iustice
,
to
God
,
the
Kingdom
,
and
themselves
,
and
according
to
the
Fundamental
Power
that
rests
in
themselves
,
They
have
resolved
to
bring
you
to
Tryal
and
Iudgement
;
and
for
that
purpose
have
constituted
this
High
Court
of
Justice
,
before
which
you
are
brought
.
This
said
Cook
Sollicitor-General
of
the
Commonwealth
(
standing
within
a
Bar
on
the
right
hand
of
the
King
)
offered
to
speak
;
Cook
Solicitor-General
offers
to
speak
;
is
forbid
by
the
King
.
but
the
King
having
a
staff
in
his
hand
,
held
it
up
,
and
laid
it
upon
the
said
Cooks
shoulder
two
or
three
times
,
bidding
him
hold
:
Nevertheless
,
the
President
ordering
him
to
go
on
,
he
said
:
Cook
.
My
Lord
,
He
proceeds
.
I
am
commanded
to
charge
Charles
Stuart
King
of
England
,
in
the
name
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
with
Treason
and
high
Misdemeanors
;
I
desire
the
said
Charge
may
be
read
.
The
said
Charge
being
delivered
to
the
Clerk
of
the
Court
,
the
President
ordered
it
should
be
read
,
but
the
King
bid
him
hold
:
Nevertheless
,
being
commanded
by
the
President
to
read
it
,
The
Charge
read
.
the
Clerk
begun
.
The
Charge
being
read
,
(
which
,
for
its
falshood
and
Treasonable
impudence
,
is
purposely
omitted
,
as
imputing
to
the
King
the
Blood
spilt
,
by
his
presence
in
several
Fights
;
President
demands
the
Kings
Answer
.
)
The
President
replyed
:
Sir
,
you
have
heard
your
Charge
read
,
&c.
The
Court
expects
your
Answer
.
King
.
I
would
know
by
what
power
I
am
called
hither
:
I
was
,
not
long
ago
,
in
the
Isle
of
Wight
;
how
I
came
there
,
is
a
longer
story
than
I
think
is
fit
at
this
time
for
me
to
speak
of
;
but
there
I
entred
into
a
Treaty
with
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
with
as
much
publike
faith
as
't
is
possible
to
be
had
of
any
people
in
the
World
.
I
Treated
there
with
a
number
of
Honourable
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
and
Treated
honestly
and
uprightly
:
I
cannot
say
but
they
did
very
nobly
with
me
;
we
were
upon
a
conclu●ion
of
the
Treaty
.
Now
I
would
know
by
what
Authority
,
His
Majesty
refuseth
to
Answer
,
and
disowns
the
Authority
of
the
Court.
I
mean
,
lawful
:
there
are
many
unlawful
Authorities
in
the
world
,
Theeves
and
Robbers
by
the
high
ways
;
but
I
would
know
by
what
Authority
I
was
brought
from
thence
,
and
carried
from
place
to
place
,
(
and
I
know
not
what
)
and
when
I
know
by
what
lawful
Authority
,
I
shall
answer
:
Remember
I
am
your
King
,
and
what
sins
you
bring
upon
this
Land
.
Think
well
upon
it
,
I
say
,
think
well
upon
it
,
before
you
go
further
from
one
sin
to
a
greater
;
therefore
let
me
know
by
what
lawful
Authority
I
am
seated
here
,
and
I
shall
not
be
unwilling
to
Answer
:
in
the
mean
time
I
shall
not
betray
my
Trust.
I
have
a
Trust
committed
to
me
by
God
,
by
old
and
lawful
descent
,
I
will
not
betray
it
,
to
Answer
to
a
new
and
unlawful
Authority
;
therefore
resolve
me
that
,
and
you
shall
hear
more
of
me
.
President
.
If
you
had
been
pleased
to
have
observed
what
was
hinted
to
you
by
the
Court
at
your
first
coming
hither
,
you
would
have
known
by
what
Authority
,
which
Authority
requires
you
,
in
the
name
of
the
people
of
England
,
of
which
you
are
Elected
King
,
to
answer
them
.
King
.
No
Sir
,
I
deny
that
.
President
.
If
you
acknowledg
not
the
Authority
of
the
Court
,
they
must
proceed
.
King
.
I
do
tell
them
so
,
England
was
never
an
Elective
Kingdom
,
but
an
Hereditary
Kingdom
for
neer
these
thousand
years
:
Proves
his
Title
to
the
Crown
,
by
succession
,
not
Election
.
therefore
let
me
know
by
what
Authority
I
am
called
hither
.
I
do
stand
more
for
the
Liberty
of
my
people
than
any
here
,
that
come
to
be
my
pretended
Judges
;
and
therefore
let
me
know
by
what
lawful
Authority
I
am
seated
here
,
and
I
will
Answer
it
,
otherwise
I
will
not
Answer
it
.
President
.
Is
prevented
by
the
Presidents
insolent
rebukes
.
Sir
,
how
really
you
have
managed
your
Trust
,
is
known
:
your
way
of
Answer
is
to
interrogate
the
Court
;
which
beseems
not
you
in
this
condition
.
You
have
been
told
of
it
twice
or
thrice
.
King
.
Here
is
a
Gentleman
(
Lieutenant-Colonel
Cobbet
)
ask
him
,
if
he
did
not
bring
me
from
the
Isle
of
Wight
by
force
?
I
do
not
come
here
as
submitting
to
the
Court
;
I
will
stand
as
much
for
the
priviledge
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
rightly
understood
,
as
any
man
here
whatsoever
.
I
see
no
House
of
Lords
here
that
may
constitute
a
Parliament
,
and
(
the
King
too
)
should
have
been
.
Is
this
the
bringing
of
the
King
to
his
Parliament
?
Is
this
the
bringing
an
end
to
the
Treaty
in
the
Publike
faith
of
the
world
?
Let
me
see
a
legal
Authority
warranted
by
the
Word
of
God
,
the
Scriptures
,
or
warranted
by
the
Constitutions
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
I
will
Answer
.
President
.
Sir
,
You
have
propounded
a
Question
,
and
have
been
Answered
:
seeing
you
will
not
Answer
,
Who
urgeth
for
an
Answer
.
the
Court
will
consider
how
to
proceed
;
in
the
mean
time
,
those
that
brought
you
hither
,
are
to
take
charge
of
you
back
again
.
The
Court
desires
to
know
whether
this
he
all
the
Answer
you
will
give
,
or
no
?
King
.
The
King
still
refuseth
,
demanding
their
Authority
.
Sir
,
I
would
desire
that
you
would
give
me
and
all
the
world
satisfaction
in
this
;
let
me
tell
you
,
it
is
not
a
slight
thing
you
are
about
.
I
am
sworn
to
keep
the
Peace
by
that
duty
I
owe
to
God
and
my
Country
,
and
I
will
do
it
to
the
last
breath
of
my
Body
;
and
therefore
you
shall
do
well
to
satisfie
first
God
,
and
then
the
Country
,
by
what
Authority
you
do
it
:
if
you
do
it
by
an
usurped
Authority
,
that
will
not
last
long
.
There
is
a
God
in
Heaven
that
will
call
you
,
and
all
that
give
you
Power
,
to
an
account
:
satisfie
me
in
that
,
and
I
will
Answer
,
otherwise
I
betray
my
Trust
,
and
the
Liberties
of
the
people
,
and
therefore
think
of
that
,
and
then
I
shall
be
willing
.
For
I
do
avow
,
that
it
is
as
great
a
sin
to
withstand
lawful
Authority
,
as
it
is
to
submit
to
a
Tyrannical
,
or
any
other
ways
unlawful
Authority
;
and
therefore
satisfie
God
,
and
me
,
and
all
the
World
in
that
,
and
you
shall
receive
my
Answer
:
I
am
not
afraid
of
the
Bill
.
President
.
The
Court
expects
you
should
give
them
a
final
Answer
:
The
President
answers
,
their
Authority
is
Gods
and
the
Kingdoms
.
their
purpose
is
to
adjourn
till
Monday
next
,
if
you
do
not
satisfie
your self
,
though
we
do
tell
you
our
Authority
,
we
are
satisfied
with
our
Authority
,
and
it
is
upon
Gods
Authority
and
the
Kingdoms
:
and
that
Peace
you
speak
of
,
will
be
kept
in
the
doing
of
Iustice
,
and
that
's
our
present
work
.
King
.
Let
me
tell
you
,
if
you
will
shew
me
what
lawful
Authority
you
have
,
I
shall
be
satisfied
:
But
what
you
have
hitherto
said
,
satisfies
no
reasonable
man
.
President
.
That
's
in
your
apprehension
;
we
think
it
reasonable
that
are
your
Iudges
.
King
.
'T
is
not
my
apprehension
,
nor
yours
neither
,
that
ought
to
decide
it
.
President
.
The
Court
hath
heard
you
,
The
Court
riseth
and
you
are
to
be
disposed
of
as
they
have
commanded
.
Two
things
were
remarkable
in
this
days
proceedings
.
It
is
observed
,
That
as
the
Charge
was
reading
against
the
King
,
the
silver
head
of
his
staff
fell
off
,
The
head
of
the
Kings
staff
falls
down
,
●e
stoops
and
takes
it
up
.
Some
cry
,
God
save
the
King
;
others
,
Iustice
and
Execution
,
by
Axtels
directions
.
the
which
he
wondered
at
;
and
seeing
none
to
take
it
up
,
he
stoop'd
for
it
himself
,
and
put
it
in
his
pocket
.
The
other
,
that
the
people
as
the
King
went
out
cried
aloud
and
shouted
God
save
the
King
,
while
the
weaker
noise
of
hired
and
commanded
Souldiers
cried
out
Iustice
and
Execution
,
at
Colonel
Axtels
Threats
and
Bastinadoes
.
At
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
sitting
in
Westminster-Hall
,
Monday
,
January
22.
1648.
Upon
the
Kings
coming
a
shout
was
made
.
The
Court
sits
,
the
King
comes
in
,
the
people
shout
.
Solicitor
moves
for
the
Kings
Answer
.
Sollicitor
.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
my
Lord
President
,
I
did
at
the
last
Court
in
the
behalf
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
exhibit
and
give
into
this
Court
a
Charge
of
High
Treason
,
and
other
High
Crimes
,
against
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
&c.
My
humble
Motion
to
this
High
Court
is
,
That
the
Prisoner
may
be
directed
to
make
a
positive
Answer
,
or
else
the
Charge
may
be
taken
pro
confesso
,
and
the
Court
may
proceed
according
to
Justice
.
President
.
Sir
,
You
may
remember
at
the
last
Court
you
were
told
the
occasion
of
your
being
brought
hither
,
&c.
you
were
then
pleased
to
make
some
scruples
concerning
the
Authority
of
this
Court
,
&c.
Since
that
,
the
Court
hath
taken
into
consideration
what
you
then
said
,
they
are
fully
satisfied
with
their
own
Authority
,
and
they
hold
it
fit
you
should
stand
satisfied
with
it
too
:
and
they
do
require
it
,
that
you
do
give
a
positive
and
particular
Answer
to
this
Charge
that
is
exhibited
against
you
:
President
insists
upon
it
.
they
do
expect
you
should
either
confess
or
deny
it
;
if
you
deny
it
,
it
is
offered
in
the
behalf
of
the
Nation
to
be
made
good
against
you
;
their
Authority
they
do
avow
to
the
whole
world
,
that
the
whole
Kingdom
are
to
rest
satisfied
in
;
and
you
are
to
lose
no
more
time
,
but
to
give
a
positive
Answer
thereunto
.
King
.
When
I
was
here
last
,
't
is
true
,
I
made
that
Question
;
and
truly
if
it
were
onely
my
own
particular
case
,
His
Majesty
still
denies
the
Authority
of
the
Court.
I
would
have
satisfied
my self
with
the
Protestation
I
made
the
last
time
I
was
here
against
the
Legality
of
this
Court
,
and
that
a
King
cannot
be
tried
by
any
Superiour
Jurisdiction
on
Earth
;
but
it
is
not
my
case
alone
,
it
is
the
Freedom
and
Liberty
of
the
people
of
England
,
and
do
you
pretend
what
you
will
,
I
stand
more
for
their
Liberties
.
For
of
Power
without
Law
,
may
make
Laws
,
may
alter
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
I
do
not
know
what
Subject
he
is
in
England
,
that
can
be
sure
of
his
Life
,
or
any
thing
that
he
calls
his
own
;
therefore
when
I
came
here
,
I
did
expect
particular
Reasons
,
Refuseth
to
plead
▪
and
offers
to
sh●w
his
Reasons
.
to
know
by
what
Law
,
what
Authority
you
did
proceed
against
me
here
,
and
therefore
I
am
a
little
to
seek
what
to
say
to
you
in
this
particular
,
because
the
Affirmative
is
proved
,
the
Negative
often
is
very
hard
to
do
:
but
since
I
cannot
perswade
you
to
do
it
,
I
shall
tell
you
my
Reasons
as
short
as
I
can
.
My
Reasons
why
in
Conscience
,
and
the
duty
I
owe
to
God
first
,
and
my
people
next
,
for
the
preservation
of
their
Lives
,
Liberties
and
Estates
;
I
conceive
I
cannot
answer
this
,
Here
the
King
would
have
delivered
his
Reasons
,
but
was
not
suffered
.
till
I
be
satisfied
of
the
legality
of
it
.
All
proceedings
against
any
man
whatsoever
—
President
.
Sir
,
I
must
interrupt
you
;
which
I
would
not
do
,
but
that
what
you
do
is
not
agreable
to
the
proceedings
of
any
Court
of
Iustice
:
you
are
about
to
enter
into
Argument
and
Dispute
concerning
the
Authority
of
this
Court
,
before
whom
you
appear
as
a
Prisoner
,
and
are
Charged
as
a
Delinquent
;
if
you
take
upon
you
to
dispute
the
Authority
of
the
Court
,
we
may
not
do
it
,
nor
will
any
Court
give
way
unto
it
;
you
are
to
submit
unto
it
,
you
are
to
give
in
a
punctual
and
direct
Answer
,
whether
you
will
Answer
to
your
Charge
or
no
,
and
what
your
Answer
is
.
King
.
Sir
,
by
your
favour
,
I
do
not
know
the
forms
of
Law
,
I
do
know
Law
and
Reason
:
His
Majesty
presseth
to
shew
his
Reasons
,
though
I
am
no
Lawyer
professed
,
yet
I
know
as
much
Law
as
any
Gentleman
in
England
;
and
therefore
(
under
favour
)
I
do
plead
for
the
Liberties
of
the
people
of
England
more
than
you
do
,
and
therefore
if
I
should
impose
a
belief
upon
any
man
without
Reasons
give
for
it
,
it
were
unreasonable
;
but
I
must
tell
you
,
That
by
that
Reason
that
I
have
as
thus
informed
,
I
cannot
yield
unto
it
.
President
.
Sir
,
I
must
interrupt
you
,
you
may
not
be
permitted
:
you
speak
of
Law
and
Reason
,
but
cannot
be
permitted
.
and
there
is
both
against
you
.
Sir
,
the
Vote
of
the
Commons
of
England
Assembled
in
Parliament
,
it
is
the
Reason
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
they
are
those
two
that
have
given
that
Law
,
according
to
which
you
should
have
Ruled
and
Reigned
.
Sir
,
you
are
not
to
dispute
our
Authority
,
you
are
told
it
again
by
the
Court.
Sir
,
it
will
be
taken
notice
of
,
that
you
stand
in
contempt
of
the
Court
,
and
your
contempt
will
be
recorded
accordingly
.
King
.
I
do
not
know
how
a
King
can
be
a
Delinquent
:
not
by
any
Law
that
ever
I
heard
of
;
all
men
(
Delinquents
or
what
you
will
)
let
me
tell
you
,
they
may
put
in
Demurrers
against
any
proceedings
as
legal
,
He
desires
to
Demur
.
and
I
do
demand
that
,
and
demand
to
be
heard
with
my
Reasons
;
if
you
deny
that
,
you
deny
Reason
.
President
.
Sir
,
you
have
offered
something
to
the
Court
,
I
shall
speak
something
unto
you
of
the
sense
of
the
Court
;
Sir
,
neither
you
nor
any
man
are
permitted
to
dispute
that
point
,
He
is
over-ruled
by
the
Court
,
you
are
concluded
,
you
may
not
Demur
to
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
Court
;
if
you
do
,
I
must
let
you
know
,
that
they
over-rule
your
Demurrer
:
they
sit
here
by
the
Authority
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
and
all
your
Predecessors
and
you
are
responsible
to
them
.
King
.
I
deny
that
,
shew
me
one
precedent
.
—
President
.
Sir
,
you
ought
not
to
interrupt
while
the
Court
is
speaking
to
you
;
this
point
is
not
to
be
debated
by
you
,
and
Interrupted
.
neither
will
the
Court
permit
you
to
do
it
;
if
you
offer
it
by
way
of
Demurrer
to
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
they
have
considered
of
their
Iurisdiction
,
they
do
affirm
their
own
Iurisdiction
.
King
.
I
say
Sir
,
by
your
favour
,
that
the
Commons
of
England
was
never
a
Court
of
Judicature
,
I
would
know
how
they
came
to
be
so
.
President
.
Sir
you
are
not
to
be
permitted
to
go
on
in
that
speech
,
and
these
Discourses
.
Then
the
Clerk
of
the
Court
read
as
followeth
.
Charles
Stuart
,
The
Cle●k
re●d
.
King
of
England
,
You
have
been
accused
on
the
behalf
of
the
people
of
England
,
of
High
Treason
,
and
other
high
Crimes
;
the
Court
have
determined
,
that
you
ought
to
Answer
the
same
.
King
.
I
will
Answer
the
same
,
as
soon
as
I
know
by
what
Authority
you
do
this
.
President
.
If
this
be
all
that
you
will
say
,
The
Guards
charged
to
take
away
their
Prisoner
.
then
,
Gentlemen
,
you
that
brought
the
Prisoner
hither
,
take
charge
of
him
back
again
.
King
.
I
do
require
that
I
may
give
in
my
Reasons
why
I
do
not
Answer
;
and
give
me
time
for
that
.
President
.
Sir
,
'T
is
not
for
Prisoners
to
require
.
King
.
Prisoner
?
Sir
,
I
am
not
an
ordinary
Prisoner
.
President
.
The
Court
hath
considered
of
their
Iurisdiction
,
and
they
have
already
affirmed
their
Iurisdiction
:
if
you
will
not
Answer
,
we
shall
give
order
to
Record
your
default
.
King
.
You
never
heard
my
Reasons
yet
.
President
.
Sir
,
your
Reasons
are
not
to
be
heard
against
the
highest
Iurisdiction
.
King
.
Shew
me
that
Jurisdiction
,
where
Reason
is
not
to
be
heard
.
President
.
Sir
,
we
shew
it
you
here
,
the
Commons
of
England
:
and
the
next
time
you
are
brought
,
you
will
know
more
the
pleasure
of
the
Court
,
and
it
may
be
,
their
final
determination
.
King
.
Shew
me
wherever
the
House
of
Commons
was
a
Court
of
Judicature
of
that
kind
.
President
.
Serjeant
,
take
away
the
Prisoner
.
King
.
Well
Sir
,
remember
that
the
King
is
not
suffered
to
give
his
Reasons
for
the
Liberty
and
Freedom
of
all
his
Subjects
.
President
.
Sir
,
you
are
not
to
have
liberty
to
use
this
Language
;
how
great
a
friend
you
have
been
to
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
the
people
,
let
all
England
and
the
World
Iudge
.
King
.
Sir
,
under
favour
,
it
was
the
Liberty
,
Freedom
and
Laws
of
the
Subject
that
ever
I
took
—
defended
my self
with
Arms
:
I
never
took
up
Arms
against
the
people
,
but
for
my
people
and
the
Laws
.
President
.
The
command
of
the
Court
must
be
obeyed
;
no
answer
will
be
given
to
the
Charge
.
King
.
Well
Sir
.
Then
the
President
ordered
the
default
to
be
recorded
,
and
the
contempt
of
the
Court
,
The
Court
order
the
default
and
contempt
to
be
Recorded
.
and
that
no
Answer
would
be
given
to
the
Charge
.
And
so
the
King
was
guarded
forth
to
Sir
Robert
Cotton's
house
.
Then
the
Court
adjourned
to
the
Painted-chamber
on
Tuesday
at
twelve
a
clock
,
The
King
guarded
to
Sir
Ro.
Cottons
.
The
Court
adjourns
.
The
Court
sits
again
.
and
from
thence
they
adjourned
again
to
Westminster-hall
,
at
which
time
all
persons
concerned
were
to
give
their
attendance
.
At
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
sitting
in
Westminster-hall
,
Tuesday
,
January
23.
1648.
O
yes
made
.
Silence
commanded
,
The
Court
called
,
seventy
three
persons
present
.
The
King
came
in
with
his
Guard
,
The
King
comes
.
looking
with
an
austere
countenance
upon
the
Court
,
and
sate
down
.
Cook
.
Sollicitor-General
.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
my
Lord
President
,
This
is
now
the
third
time
,
that
by
the
great
grace
and
favour
of
this
high
Court
,
the
Prisoner
hath
been
brought
to
the
Bar
,
before
any
Issue
joyned
in
the
Cause
.
My
Lord
,
I
did
at
the
first
Court
Exhibit
a
Charge
against
him
,
&c.
—
The
Sollicitor
moves
the
Court
for
Iudgement
.
My
Lord
,
after
this
great
delay
of
Justice
,
I
shall
now
humbly
move
your
Lordship
for
speedy
Judgment
against
him
.
My
Lord
,
I
might
press
your
Lordship
upon
the
whole
,
according
to
the
known
Rules
of
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
That
if
a
Prisoner
shall
stand
as
contumacious
in
contempt
,
and
shall
not
put
in
an
Issuable
Plea
,
Guilty
or
not
Guilty
of
the
Charge
given
against
him
,
whereby
he
may
come
to
a
fair
Tryal
;
that
as
by
an
implicite
Confession
,
it
may
be
taken
pro
confesso
,
as
it
hath
been
done
to
those
who
have
deserved
more
f●vour
than
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
has
done
:
but
besides
,
my
Lord
,
I
shall
humbly
press
your
Lordship
upon
the
whole
Fact
.
The
House
of
Commons
,
the
supreme
Authority
and
Jurisdiction
of
the
Kingdom
,
they
have
Declared
,
that
it
is
notorious
,
that
the
matter
of
the
Charge
is
true
,
as
it
is
in
truth
(
my
Lord
)
as
clear
as
Crystal
,
and
as
the
Sun
that
shines
at
Noon-day
;
which
if
your
Lordship
and
the
Court
be
not
satisfied
in
,
I
have
notwithstanding
,
on
the
People
of
Englands
behalf
,
several
Witnesses
to
produce
:
And
there●ore
I
do
humbly
pray
,
and
yet
I
must
confess
it
is
not
so
much
I
,
as
the
●nnocent
Blood
that
hath
been
shed
,
the
cry
whereof
is
very
great
for
Justice
and
Judgement
;
and
therefore
I
do
humbly
pray
,
that
speedy
Judgement
be
pronounced
against
the
prisoner
at
the
Bar.
President
.
Sir
,
you
have
heard
what
is
moved
by
the
Counsel
on
the
behalf
of
the
Kingdom
against
you
.
Sir
,
you
may
well
remember
,
and
if
you
do
not
▪
the
Court
cannot
forget
,
what
Dilatory
dealings
the
Court
hath
found
at
your
hands
.
You
were
told
,
The
Presidents
speech
in
behalf
of
the
Court
,
that
it
was
not
for
you
,
nor
any
other
man
,
to
dispute
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Supreme
and
highest
Authority
of
England
,
from
which
there
is
no
appeal
,
and
touching
which
there
must
be
no
dispute
;
yet
you
did
persist
in
such
carriage
,
as
you
gave
no
manner
of
obedience
,
nor
did
you
acknowledge
any
Authority
in
them
,
nor
the
High
Court
that
constituted
this
Court
of
Justice
.
Sir
,
I
must
let
you
know
from
the
Court
,
that
they
are
very
sensible
of
these
delays
of
yours
,
and
that
they
ought
not
,
being
thus
Authorized
by
the
Supreme
Court
of
England
,
to
be
thus
trifled
withal
;
and
that
they
might
in
Iustice
,
if
they
pleased
,
and
according
to
the
Rules
of
Iustice
,
take
advantage
of
the
delays
,
and
proceed
to
pronounce
Iudgement
against
you
;
yet
nevertheless
they
are
pleased
to
give
direction
,
and
on
their
behalfs
I
do
require
you
,
that
you
make
a
positive
Answer
unto
this
Charge
that
is
against
you
.
Sir
,
in
plain
terms
,
for
Iustice
knows
no
respect
of
persons
,
you
are
to
give
your
positive
and
final
Answer
in
plain
English
,
he
demands
a
positive
answer
from
the
King
.
whether
you
be
Guilty
or
not
Guilty
of
these
Treasons
laid
to
your
charge
.
The
King
after
a
little
pause
,
said
,
His
Majesty
desires
to
speak
for
the
Liberties
of
the
people
:
When
I
was
here
yesterday
,
I
did
desire
to
speak
for
the
Liberties
of
the
people
of
England
;
I
was
interrupted
:
I
desire
to
know
yet
whether
I
may
speak
freely
or
not
.
President
.
Sir
,
you
have
heard
the
resolution
of
the
Court
upon
the
like
Question
the
last
day
,
and
you
were
told
,
that
having
such
a
Charge
of
so
high
a
Nature
against
you
,
and
your
Work
was
,
that
you
ought
to
acknowledge
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
And
to
Answer
to
your
Charge
.
Sir
,
if
you
Answer
to
your
Charge
,
which
the
Court
gives
you
leave
now
to
do
,
though
they
might
have
taken
the
advantage
of
your
contempt
,
but
is
not
permitted
till
he
gives
his
Answer
to
Guilty
or
not
Guilty
.
yet
if
you
be
able
to
Answer
to
your
Charge
,
when
you
have
once
Answered
,
you
shall
be
heard
at
large
;
make
the
best
Defence
you
can
.
But
Sir
,
I
must
let
you
know
from
the
Court
,
at
their
commands
,
that
you
are
not
to
be
permitted
to
issue
out
into
other
discourses
,
till
such
time
as
you
have
given
a
positive
Answer
concerning
the
Matter
that
is
Charged
upon
you
.
King
.
For
the
Charge
,
I
value
it
not
a
Rush
,
it
is
the
Liberty
of
the
People
of
England
that
I
stand
for
;
for
me
to
acknowledge
a
new
Court
,
that
I
never
heard
of
before
,
I
that
am
your
King
,
that
should
be
an
example
to
all
the
people
of
England
,
to
uphold
Justice
,
to
maintain
the
old
Laws
;
indeed
I
do
not
know
how
to
do
it
:
you
spoke
very
well
the
first
day
that
I
came
here
,
(
on
Saturday
)
of
the
Obligations
that
I
had
laid
upon
me
by
God
,
to
the
maintenance
of
the
Liberties
of
my
people
:
The
same
Obligation
you
spake
of
,
I
do
acknowledge
to
God
that
I
owe
to
Him
,
and
to
my
people
,
to
defend
,
as
much
as
in
me
lies
,
〈…〉
to
give
any
particular
answer
,
desires
〈◊〉
to
shew
his
Reasons
.
the
antient
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
;
therefore
until
I
may
●now
that
this
is
not
against
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
by
your
f●vo●r
,
I
can
put
in
no
particular
Answer
:
If
you
will
give
me
time
,
I
will
then
shew
you
my
Reasons
why
I
cannot
do
it
,
and
this
—
Here
being
interrupted
,
he
said
,
B●
your
favour
,
is
interrupted
,
you
ought
not
to
interrupt
me
:
how
I
came
here
,
I
know
no●
,
th●re's
no
Law
for
it
,
to
make
your
King
your
Prisoner
:
I
was
lately
in
a
Treaty
up
on
the
publike
Faith
of
the
Kingdom
,
again
,
that
was
the
known
—
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
that
was
the
Representative
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
when
that
I
had
almost
made
an
end
of
the
Treaty
,
then
I
was
hurried
away
and
brought
hither
,
and
therefore
—
Here
the
President
interrupted
him
,
and
again
.
and
said
,
Sir
,
you
must
know
the
pleasure
of
the
Court.
King
.
By
your
favour
Sir
,
—
President
.
Nay
Sir
,
by
your
favour
,
you
may
not
be
permitted
to
fall
into
these
discourses
;
you
appear
as
a
Delinquent
,
you
have
not
acknowledged
the
Authority
of
the
Court
;
the
Court
craves
it
not
of
you
,
and
once
more
they
command
you
to
give
your
positive
Answer
—
Clerk
,
do
your
Duty
.
King
.
Duty
Sir
!
The
Clerk
reads
.
The
Clerk
reads
Charles
Stuart
,
King
of
England
,
you
are
accused
in
the
behalf
of
the
Commons
of
England
,
of
divers
high
Crimes
and
Treasons
;
which
Charge
hath
been
read
unto
you
;
the
Court
now
requires
you
to
give
your
positive
and
final
Answer
,
by
way
of
confession
or
denial
of
the
Charge
.
King
.
Sir
,
I
say
again
to
you
,
So
that
I
might
give
satisfaction
to
the
people
of
England
of
the
clearness
of
my
proceedings
,
His
Majesty
justifies
his
proceedings
,
and
refuseth
to
Answer
to
the
Charge
.
not
by
way
of
Answer
,
not
in
this
way
,
but
to
satisfie
them
that
I
have
done
nothing
against
that
Trust
that
hath
been
committed
to
me
,
I
would
do
it
;
but
to
acknowledge
a
new
Court
against
their
Priviledges
;
to
alter
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
;
Sir
,
you
must
excuse
me
.
President
.
Sir
,
this
is
the
third
time
that
you
have
publikely
disowned
the
Court
,
and
put
an
affront
upon
it
;
how
far
you
have
preserv'd
the
Priviledges
of
the
People
,
your
Actions
have
spoke
it
;
but
truly
Sir
,
mens
intentions
ought
to
be
known
by
their
Actions
:
you
have
written
your
meaning
in
bloody
Characters
throughout
the
whole
Kingdom
:
but
Sir
,
you
understand
the
pleasure
of
the
Court.
—
Clerk
,
Record
the
default
,
The
Guards
ordered
to
take
charge
of
their
Prisoner
.
—
and
Gentlemen
,
you
that
took
charge
of
the
Prisoner
,
take
him
back
again
.
King
.
I
will
onely
say
this
one
word
to
you
,
If
it
were
onely
my
own
particular
,
I
would
not
say
any
more
,
nor
interrupt
you
.
President
.
Sir
,
you
have
heard
the
pleasure
of
the
Court
,
and
you
are
(
notwithstanding
you
will
not
understand
it
)
to
finde
that
you
are
before
a
Court
of
Iustice
.
Then
the
King
went
forth
with
his
Guard
,
The
King
goes
forth
,
and
the
Court
adjourns
.
and
Proclamation
was
made
,
that
all
persons
who
had
then
appeared
,
and
had
further
to
do
at
the
Court
,
might
depart
into
the
Painted-Chamber
,
to
which
place
the
Court
did
forthwith
adjourn
,
and
intended
to
meet
in
Westminster-hall
by
ten
of
the
Clock
the
next
morning
.
Cryer
.
God
bless
the
Kingdom
of
England
.
His
Majesties
Reasons
against
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
which
be
intended
to
speak
in
Court
,
but
was
hindered
.
His
Majesties
Reasons
against
the
pretended
Iurisdiction
of
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
,
which
he
intended
to
have
delivered
in
writing
on
Monday
,
January
22.
1648.
But
was
not
permitted
.
HAving
already
made
my
Protestations
,
not
onely
against
the
illegality
of
this
pretended
Court
,
but
also
that
no
earthly
Power
can
justly
call
Me
(
who
am
your
King
)
in
question
as
a
Delinquent
;
I
would
not
any
more
open
my
Mouth
upon
this
occasion
,
more
than
to
refer
my self
to
what
I
have
spoken
,
were
I
in
this
case
alone
concerned
.
But
the
duty
I
owe
to
God
in
the
preservation
of
the
true
Liberty
of
my
People
,
will
not
suffer
me
at
this
time
to
be
silent
:
For
,
how
can
any
free-born
Subject
of
England
call
life
,
or
any
thing
he
possesseth
,
his
own
,
if
Power
without
Right
may
daily
make
new
▪
and
abrogate
the
old
Fundamental
Law
of
the
Land
?
which
I
now
take
to
be
the
present
case
.
Wherefore
when
I
came
hither
,
I
expected
that
you
would
have
endeavoured
to
have
satisfied
me
concerning
these
grounds
which
hinder
me
to
answer
to
your
pretended
Impeachment
;
but
since
I
see
that
nothing
I
can
say
will
move
you
to
it
(
though
Negatives
are
not
so
naturally
proved
as
Affirmatives
)
yet
I
will
shew
you
the
Reasons
why
I
am
confident
you
cannot
Judge
me
,
nor
indeed
the
meanest
man
in
England
:
for
I
will
not
(
like
you
)
without
shewing
a
Reason
,
seek
to
impose
a
belief
upon
my
Subjects
.
No
proceeding
just
,
but
what
is
warranted
by
the
Laws
of
God
or
man
.
There
is
no
proceeding
just
against
any
man
,
but
what
is
warranted
either
by
Gods
Laws
,
or
the
Municipal
Laws
of
the
Country
where
he
lives
.
Now
I
am
most
confident
,
this
days
proceeding
cannot
be
warranted
by
Gods
Law
;
for
on
the
contrary
,
the
Authority
of
obedience
unto
Kings
is
clealy
warranted
,
and
strictly
commanded
both
in
the
Old
and
New
Testaments
;
which
if
denied
,
I
am
ready
instantly
to
Prove
:
and
for
the
Question
now
in
hand
,
there
it
is
said
,
That
where
the
word
of
a
King
is
,
there
is
Power
;
and
who
may
say
unto
him
,
What
doest
thou
?
Eccles.
8.4
.
Then
for
the
Law
of
this
Land
,
I
am
no
less
confident
that
no
learned
Lawyer
will
affirm
that
an
Impeachment
can
lie
against
the
King
,
No
Impeachment
can
lie
against
the
King
.
they
all
going
in
His
Name
:
and
one
of
their
Maximes
is
,
That
the
King
can
do
no
wrong
.
Besides
,
the
Law
upon
which
you
ground
your
proceedings
,
must
either
be
Old
or
New
:
if
Old
,
shew
it
;
if
New
,
tell
what
Authority
warranted
by
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
the
Land
hath
made
it
,
and
when
.
But
how
the
House
of
Commons
can
erect
a
Court
of
Iudicature
,
The
House
of
Commons
cannot
erect
a
Court
of
Iudicature
.
which
was
never
one
it self
,
(
as
is
well
known
to
all
Lawyers
)
I
leave
to
God
and
the
world
to
Iudge
:
And
it
were
full
as
strange
that
they
should
pretend
to
make
Laws
without
King
or
Lords
House
,
to
any
that
have
heard
speak
of
the
Laws
of
England
.
And
admitting
,
but
not
granting
,
that
the
People
of
Englands
Commission
could
grant
your
pretended
Power
;
I
see
nothing
you
can
shew
for
that
:
for
certainly
you
never
asked
the
question
of
the
tenth
man
in
the
Kingdom
:
and
in
this
way
you
manifestly
wrong
even
the
poorest
Plow-man
,
if
you
demand
not
his
free
consent
;
nor
can
you
pretend
any
colour
for
this
your
pretended
Commission
without
the
Consent
at
least
of
the
major
part
of
every
man
in
England
,
Nor
are
the
Membe●●
of
this
House
Co●●issioned
by
the
people
of
England
.
of
whatsoever
quality
or
Condition
,
which
I
am
sure
you
never
went
about
to
seek
;
so
far
are
you
from
having
it
.
Thus
you
see
that
I
speak
not
for
my
own
right
alone
as
I
am
your
King
,
but
also
for
the
true
Liberty
of
all
my
Subjects
;
which
consists
not
in
the
power
of
Government
,
but
in
living
under
such
laws
,
such
a
Government
,
as
may
give
themselves
the
best
assurance
of
their
lives
,
and
propriety
of
their
goods
.
The
Priviledges
o●●a●liame●t
Violated
Nor
in
this
must
or
do
I
forget
the
Priviledges
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
which
this
days
proceedings
do
not
onely
violate
,
but
likewise
occasion
the
greatest
breach
of
their
publike
Faith
,
that
I
believe
ever
was
heard
of
;
with
which
I
am
far
from
charging
the
two
Houses
:
for
all
the
pretended
Crimes
laid
against
me
,
bear
date
long
before
this
late
Treaty
at
Newport
,
in
which
I
having
concluded
,
as
much
as
in
me
lay
,
and
hopefully
expecting
the
Houses
agreement
thereunto
,
I
was
suddenly
surpriz'd
,
and
hurried
from
thence
as
a
Prisoner
,
upon
which
account
I
am
against
my
will
brought
hither
;
where
since
I
am
come
,
I
cannot
but
to
my
power
,
defend
the
antient
Laws
and
Liberties
of
this
Kingnom
,
together
with
my
own
just
Rights
.
Then
for
any
thing
I
can
see
,
The
higher
House
excluded
,
and
the
major
part
of
the
lower
deterred
from
sitting
.
the
Higher
House
is
totally
excluded
;
and
for
the
House
of
Commons
,
it
is
too
well
known
that
the
major
part
of
them
are
detained
or
deterred
from
sitting
;
so
as
if
I
'had
no
other
,
this
were
sufficient
Reason
for
me
to
protest
against
the
Lawfulness
of
your
pretended
Court.
Besides
all
this
,
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
is
not
the
least
of
My
thoughts
:
and
what
hopes
of
Settlement
is
there
,
so
long
as
Power
reigns
without
Rule
or
Law
,
The
frame
of
Government
cha●ged
.
changing
the
whole
frame
of
that
Government
,
under
which
this
Kingdom
hath
flourished
for
many
hundred
years
?
(
nor
will
I
say
what
will
fall
out
,
in
case
this
lawless
unjust
Proceedings
against
me
do
go
on
.
)
And
believe
it
,
the
Commons
of
England
will
not
thank
you
for
this
Change
,
for
they
will
remember
how
happy
they
have
been
of
late
years
,
under
the
reign
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
the
King
my
Father
,
and
my Self
,
until
the
beginning
of
these
unhappy
Troubles
;
and
will
have
cause
to
doubt
that
they
shall
never
be
so
happy
under
any
new
.
And
by
this
time
it
will
be
too
sensibly
evident
,
that
the
Arms
I
took
up
,
were
onely
to
defend
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
this
Kingdom
,
against
those
who
have
supposed
my
Power
hath
totally
changed
the
antient
Government
.
Thus
having
shewed
you
briefly
the
Reasons
why
I
cannot
submit
to
your
pretended
Authority
,
without
violating
the
Trust
which
I
have
from
God
,
for
the
Welfare
and
Liberty
of
my
People
:
I
expect
from
you
either
clear
Reasons
to
convince
my
Iudgement
,
shewing
me
that
I
am
in
an
Error
(
and
then
truly
I
will
Answer
)
or
that
you
will
withdraw
your
proceedings
.
¶
This
the
King
intended
to
speak
in
Westminster-hall
on
Monday
,
Jan.
22.
but
against
Reason
was
hindred
.
The
Court
sits
.
The
Proceedings
of
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
sitting
at
Westminster-hall
,
on
Saturday
the
27
of
January
,
1648.
Silence
commanded
.
O
yes
made
.
Silence
commanded
.
The
Court
called
,
Serjeant
Bradshaw
President
,
in
his
Scarlet-Robe
(
sutable
to
the
work
of
this
day
)
with
sixty
eight
other
Members
of
the
Court
called
.
As
the
King
came
into
the
Court
,
The
King
comes
,
the
souldiers
cry
for
Iustice
.
His
Majesty
desires
to
be
heard
.
in
his
usual
posture
,
with
his
Hat
on
,
a
cry
made
in
the
Hall
by
some
of
the
Souldiers
for
Iustice
,
Iustice
,
and
Execution
.
King
.
I
shall
desire
a
word
to
be
heard
a
little
,
and
I
hope
I
shall
give
no
occasion
of
interruption
.
President
.
You
may
Answer
in
your
time
,
hear
the
Court
first
.
King
.
If
it
please
you
Sir
,
I
desire
to
be
heard
,
and
I
shall
not
give
any
occasion
of
interruption
,
and
it
is
onely
in
a
word
:
A
sudden
judgment
—
President
.
but
not
permitted
.
You
shall
be
heard
in
due
time
,
but
you
are
to
hear
the
Court
first
.
King
.
Sir
,
I
desire
it
;
it
will
be
in
order
to
what
I
believe
the
Court
will
say
;
and
therefore
Sir
,
a
hasty
Judgement
is
not
so
soon
re-called
.
President
.
Sir
,
you
shall
be
heard
before
the
Iudgement
be
given
,
and
in
the
mean
time
you
may
forbear
.
King
.
Well
Sir
,
shall
I
be
heard
before
the
Judgement
given
?
President
.
Gentlemen
,
it
is
well
known
to
all
or
most
of
you
here
present
,
That
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
●ath
been
several
times
convented
,
and
brought
before
the
Court
,
to
make
Answer
to
a
charge
of
Treason
and
other
high
Crimes
exhibited
against
him
,
in
the
name
of
the
People
of
England
;
to
which
Charge
,
being
required
to
Answer
he
hath
been
so
far
from
obeying
the
commands
of
the
Court
,
by
submitting
to
their
Iustice
,
as
he
began
to
take
upon
him
to
offer
Reasoning
and
debate
unto
the
Authority
of
the
Court
,
and
of
the
highest
Court
that
constituted
them
to
try
and
judge
him
;
but
being
over-ruled
in
that
,
and
required
to
make
his
Answer
,
he
was
still
pleased
to
continue
contumacious
,
and
to
refuse
to
submit
or
Answer
,
&c.
But
Sir
,
if
you
have
any
thing
to
say
in
defence
of
your self
concerning
the
matter
charged
,
the
Court
hath
given
me
command
to
let
you
know
they
will
hear
you
.
King
.
Since
I
see
you
will
not
hear
any
thing
of
debate
concerning
that
which
I
confess
I
thought
most
material
for
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
for
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
I
shall
wave
it
,
I
shall
speak
nothing
to
it
;
but
onely
I
must-tell
you
,
that
this
many
a
day
all
things
have
been
taken
away
from
me
,
but
that
that
I
call
more
dear
to
me
than
my
life
,
which
is
My
Conscience
and
my
Honour
;
and
if
I
had
respect
to
my
life
more
than
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdoms
and
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
certainly
I
should
have
made
a
particular
defence
for
my self
;
for
by
that
at
least-wise
I
might
have
delayed
an
ugly
Sentence
,
which
I
believe
will
pass
upon
me
:
therefore
certainly
Sir
,
as
a
man
that
hath
some
understanding
,
some
knowledge
of
the
world
,
if
that
my
Zeal
to
my
Country
had
not
over-born
the
care
that
I
have
of
my
own
preservation
,
I
should
have
gone
another
way
to
work
than
that
I
have
done
.
Now
Sir
,
I
conceive
that
an
hasty
Sentence
once
past
,
may
be
sooner
repented
than
recalled
;
and
truely
the
self-same
desire
that
I
have
for
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
more
than
my
own
particular
,
does
make
me
now
at
last
desire
,
that
having
somethimg
to
say
that
concerns
both
,
I
desire
before
Sentence
be
given
,
that
I
may
be
heard
in
the
Painted
Chamber
before
the
Lords
and
Commons
:
this
delay
cannot
be
prejudicial
to
you
,
whatsoever
I
say
;
if
no
Reason
,
those
that
hear
me
must
be
Judges
;
if
it
be
Reason
,
and
real
for
the
Welfare
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
I
am
sure
on
it
,
it
is
very
well
worth
the
hearing
;
therefore
I
do
conjure
you
,
as
you
love
that
you
pretend
,
I
hope
it
is
real
,
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
that
you
will
grant
me
the
hearing
,
before
any
Sentence
●e
passed
:
I
onely
desire
you
will
take
this
into
your
consideration
;
it
may
be
you
have
not
heard
of
it
beforehand
;
if
you
will
,
I
'le
retire
,
and
you
may
think
of
it
:
but
if
I
cannot
get
this
Liberty
,
I
do
here
protest
,
that
so
fair
shews
of
Liberty
and
Peace
are
pure
shews
,
and
not
otherwise
,
and
that
you
will
not
hear
your
KING
.
President
.
Sir
,
you
have
now
spoken
?
King
.
Yes
Sir
.
President
.
And
this
that
you
have
said
is
a
further
declining
of
the
Iurisdiction
of
this
Court
,
which
was
the
thing
wherein
you
were
limited
before
.
King
.
Pray
excuse
me
Sir
,
for
my
interruption
,
because
you
mistake
me
;
it
is
not
a
declining
of
it
,
you
do
Judge
me
before
you
hear
me
speak
;
I
say
it
will
not
,
I
do
not
decline
it
,
though
I
cannot
acknowledge
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Court
;
yet
Sir
,
in
this
give
me
leave
to
say
,
I
would
do
it
though
I
did
not
acknowledge
it
in
this
:
I
do
protest
it
is
not
the
declining
of
it
,
since
I
say
,
if
that
I
do
say
any
thing
but
that
that
is
for
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
and
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
then
the
shame
is
mine
.
Now
I
desire
that
you
will
take
this
into
your
consideration
,
if
you
will
I
'll
withdraw
.
President
.
Sir
,
this
is
not
altogether
n●w
that
you
have
moved
unto
us
;
not
altogether
new
to
us
,
though
the
first
time
in
person
you
have
offered
it
to
the
Court
:
Sir
,
you
say
you
do
not
Decline
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
Court
?
King
.
Not
in
this
that
I
have
said
.
President
.
I
understand
you
well
Sir
:
That
which
you
now
tender
,
is
to
have
another
Iurisdiction
,
and
a
co-ordinate
Jurisdiction
.
I
know
very
well
you
express
your self
,
Sir
,
that
notwithstanding
what
you
will
offer
to
the
Lords
and
Commons
in
the
Painted-Chamber
,
you
would
nevertheless
proceed
on
here
.
Sir
,
because
you
shall
know
the
further
pleasure
of
the
Court
upon
that
which
you
have
moved
,
the
Court
will
withdraw
for
a
time
.
King
.
Shall
I
withdraw
?
President
.
Sir
,
you
shall
know
the
pleasure
of
the
Court
presently
.
The
Court
withdrew
for
half
an
hour
into
the
Court
of
Wards
.
The
Court
withdraws
.
Then
the
Court
commanded
the
Serjeant
at
Arms
to
withdraw
the
King
,
and
to
expect
order
for
his
return
again
.
Serejant
at
Arms
withdraws
the
King
.
The
Court
withdrew
for
half
an
hour
,
and
returned
(
this
withdrawing
was
occasioned
by
the
importunacy
and
disturbance
of
Colonel
Downs
,
who
sate
next
to
Cromwel
;
The
Court
returns
,
but
Downs
was
quickly
quieted
,
being
awed
by
Cromwel
during
this
short
stay
.
)
President
.
Serjeant
at
Arms
,
send
for
your
Prisoner
.
Sir
,
their
withdrawing
and
adjournment
was
pro
forma
tantum
;
for
it
did
not
seem
to
them
that
there
was
any
difficulty
in
the
thing
;
resolving
to
proceed
.
the
Court
is
now
resolved
to
proceed
.
King
.
Sir
,
The
King
brought
into
the
Court
:
he
urgeth
to
be
heard
,
and
adviseth
the
Court
against
a
ha●ty
Iudgement
.
I
know
it
is
in
vain
for
me
to
dispute
,
I
am
no
Sceptick
for
to
deny
the
power
that
you
have
,
I
know
that
you
have
power
enough
:
Sir
,
I
confess
I
think
it
would
have
been
for
the
Kingdoms
Peace
,
if
you
would
have
taken
the
pains
to
have
shown
the
lawfulness
of
your
power
.
For
this
delay
that
I
have
desired
,
I
confess
it
is
a
delay
,
but
very
important
for
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
;
for
it
is
not
my
person
that
I
look
on
alone
,
it
is
the
Kingdoms
welfare
,
and
the
Kingdoms
Peace
:
it
is
an
old
sentence
,
That
we
should
think
on
long
before
we
have
resolved
of
great
matters
suddenly
;
Therefore
Sir
,
I
do
say
again
,
that
I
do
put
at
your
doors
all
the
inconveniency
of
an
hasty
Sentence
.
I
confess
I
have
been
here
now
I
think
this
week
;
this
day
eight
days
was
the
day
I
came
here
first
;
but
a
little
delay
of
a
day
or
two
further
,
may
give
peace
,
whereas
an
H●sty
Iudgement
may
bring
on
that
trouble
and
perpetual
inconveniency
to
the
Kingdom
,
that
the
Child
that
is
unborn
may
repent
it
;
and
therefore
again
,
out
of
the
Duty
I
owe
to
God
,
and
to
my
Country
,
I
do
desire
that
I
may
be
heard
by
the
Lords
and
Commons
in
the
Painted-Chamber
,
or
any
other
Chamber
that
you
will
appoint
me
.
President
.
The
Court
will
proceed
.
King
.
I
say
this
Sir
,
That
if
you
will
hear
me
,
I
doubt
not
but
I
shall
give
some
satisfaction
to
you
all
here
,
and
to
my
people
after
that
;
and
therefore
I
do
require
you
,
as
you
will
answer
it
at
the
dreadful
day
of
Judgement
,
that
you
will
consider
it
once
again
.
President
.
Sir
,
I
have
received
direction
from
the
Court.
King
.
Well
Sir
.
President
.
If
this
must
be
re-enforc'd
,
or
any
thing
of
this
nature
,
your
Answer
must
be
the
same
,
and
they
will
proceed
to
Sentence
if
you
have
nothing
more
to
say
.
King
.
I
have
nothing
more
to
say
;
but
I
shall
desire
that
this
may
be
entred
what
I
have
said
.
President
.
The
Court
then
Sir
hath
something
to
say
to
you
,
which
although
I
know
it
will
be
very
unacceptable
,
yet
notwithstanding
they
are
willing
,
and
are
resolved
to
discharge
their
Duty
.
The
Presidents
speech
in
defence
of
the
Courts
proceedings
.
[
and
so
proceeded
by
way
of
●iery
,
how
other
Nations
in
all
times
had
taken
the
same
course
with
their
Kings
and
Princes
,
deposing
and
executing
of
them
,
especially
,
and
more
frequently
in
the
Kings
Native
Realm
of
Scotland
;
mis-citing
,
and
wresting
,
and
abusing
the
truth
of
History
,
to
varnish
the
Rhapsody
and
Treason
of
this
lying
Harangue
:
of
all
which
,
one
most
remarkable
paragraph
,
as
noted
by
the
King
himself
with
an
admiration
,
is
here
inserted
.
Sir
,
That
that
we
are
now
upon
by
the
command
of
the
highest
Court
,
hath
been
and
is
to
Try
and
Iudge
you
for
those
great
offences
of
yours
.
Sir
,
the
Charge
hath
called
you
Tyrant
,
a
Traytor
,
a
Murtherer
,
and
a
publike
Enemy
to
the
Commonwealth
of
England
.
Sir
,
it
had
been
well
,
if
any
of
all
these
terms
rightly
and
justly
might
have
been
spared
,
if
any
one
of
them
at
all
.
King
.
Ha!
—
President
.
—
To
do
Iustice
Impartially
,
and
even
upon
You
,
is
all
our
Resolutions
.
Sir
,
I
say
for
your self
,
we
do
●eartily
wish
and
desire
,
that
God
would
be
pleased
to
give
you
a
sense
of
your
sins
,
that
you
would
see
wherein
you
have
done
amiss
,
that
you
may
cry
unto
him
,
that
God
would
deliver
you
from
Blood
guiltiness
.
A
good
King
was
once
guilty
of
that
particular
thing
,
and
was
clear
otherwise
,
saving
in
the
matter
of
Uriah
.
Truly
Sir
,
the
story
tells
us
that
he
was
a
repentant
King
,
and
it
signifies
enough
that
he
had
died
for
it
,
but
that
God
was
pleased
to
accept
of
him
,
and
to
give
him
his
pardon
.
Thou
shalt
not
dye
,
but
the
Child
shall
dye
;
thou
hast
given
cause
to
the
enemies
of
God
to
blaspheme
.
King
.
I
would
desire
onely
one
word
before
you
give
Sentence
,
and
that
is
;
That
you
would
hear
me
concerning
those
great
Imputations
that
you
have
laid
to
my
charge
.
President
.
Sir
,
You
must
give
me
leave
to
go
on
,
for
I
am
not
far
from
your
Sentence
,
and
your
time
is
now
past
.
King
.
But
I
shall
desire
you
will
hear
me
a
few
words
to
you
;
for
truly
,
what
ever
Sentence
you
will
put
upon
me
,
in
respect
of
those
heavy
Imputations
I
see
by
your
speech
you
have
put
upon
me
,
His
Majesty
is
interrupted
.
that
I
Sir
,
it
is
very
true
that
—
President
.
Sir
,
I
must
put
you
in
minde
:
truly
Sir
,
I
would
not
willingly
at
this
time
especially
interrupt
you
in
any
thing
you
have
to
say
,
that
is
proper
for
us
to
admit
of
;
but
Sir
,
you
have
not
owned
us
as
a
Court
,
and
you
look
upon
us
as
a
sort
of
people
met
together
;
and
we
know
what
Language
we
receive
from
your
party
.
King
.
I
know
nothing
of
that
.
President
.
You
dis-avow
us
as
a
Court
,
and
therefore
for
you
to
address
your self
to
us
,
and
not
to
acknowledge
us
as
a
Court
to
judge
of
what
you
say
,
it
is
not
to
be
permitted
:
and
the
truth
is
,
all
along
from
the
first
time
,
you
were
pleased
to
dis-avow
and
disown
us
,
the
Court
needed
not
to
have
heard
you
one
word
;
for
unless
they
be
acknowledged
a
Court
,
and
engaged
,
it
is
not
proper
for
you
to
speak
:
Sir
,
we
have
given
you
too
much
liberty
already
,
and
admitted
of
too
much
delay
,
&c.
The
President
commands
the
Sentence
to
be
read
.
Make
an
O
Yes
,
and
command
Silence
while
the
Sentence
is
read
.
O
Yes
made
,
Silence
commanded
,
the
Sentence
read
.
Silence
commanded
.
The
Clerk
read
the
Sentence
,
which
was
drawn
up
in
Parchment
.
Whereas
the
Commons
of
England
in
Parliament
,
have
appointed
them
an
high
Court
of
Iustice
,
for
the
Trying
of
Charles
Stuart
King
of
England
;
before
whom
he
had
been
three
times
convented
,
and
at
first
time
a
Charge
of
high
Treason
and
other
Crimes
and
Misdemeanours
was
read
in
the
behalf
of
the
Kingdom
of
England
,
&c.
Here
the
Clerk
read
the
Charge
.
The
Charge
read
.
Which
Charge
being
read
unto
him
as
aforesaid
,
He
the
said
Charles
Stuart
was
required
to
give
his
Answer
;
The
King
required
to
give
his
Answer
,
he
refuseth
.
but
he
refused
so
to
do
.
[
expressing
the
several
passages
of
his
refusing
in
the
former
proceedings
.
]
For
all
which
Treasons
and
Crimes
,
this
Court
doth
adjudge
,
that
He
the
said
Charles
Stuart
,
as
a
Tyrant
,
Traytor
,
Murtherer
,
and
a
publike
Enemy
,
shall
be
put
to
Death
by
severing
his
Head
from
his
Body
,
Jan.
27.
1648.
Which
being
read
,
Bradshaw
added
—
This
Sentence
now
read
and
published
,
it
is
the
Act
,
Sentence
,
Judgement
,
and
Resolution
of
the
whole
Court
.
To
which
they
all
expressed
their
assent
by
standing
up
,
as
was
before
agreed
and
ordered
.
And
then
the
King
(
not
being
admitted
to
reply
)
was
taken
by
his
Guards
and
carried
to
Sir
Robert
Cottons
:
The
King
guarded
awa●
.
He
is
abused
by
the
Souldiers
,
the
Souldiers
as
he
passed
down
the
Staires
,
scoffing
at
him
,
and
casting
the
smoak
of
their
Tobacco
(
a
thing
odious
to
him
)
in
his
Face
,
and
strewing
the
Pipes
in
his
way
.
And
one
more
insolent
than
the
rest
Spitting
in
his
Face
;
which
his
Majesty
according
to
his
wonted
Heroick
Patience
,
took
no
more
notice
of
,
than
to
wipe
it
away
.
As
he
passed
along
further
,
hearing
the
same
wretches
crying
out
Justice
,
Execution
;
He
said
—
Alass
poor
souls
,
for
a
piece
of
money
they
would
do
so
for
their
Commanders
.
Being
brought
thus
to
Sir
Robert
Cottons
,
a
house
neer
adjoyning
and
thence
by
water
to
White-●all
;
the
Souldiers
(
at
their
Commanders
instigation
,
who
were
set
on
likewise
by
Cromwel
)
continued
their
brutish
carriage
toward
him
,
abusing
all
that
seemed
to
shew
any
respect
or
even
compassion
to
him
,
not
suffering
him
to
rest
in
his
Chamber
,
but
thrusting
in
,
and
smoaking
their
Tobacco
,
disturbed
in
his
Devotions
.
His
admirable
patience
.
and
disturbing
his
privacy
.
But
through
all
these
Trials
(
unusual
to
Princes
)
he
passed
with
such
a
calm
and
even
temper
,
that
he
let
nothing
fall
unbeseeming
his
former
Majesty
and
Magnanimity
.
In
the
Evening
,
a
Member
of
the
Army
acquainted
the
Committee
with
his
Majesties
desire
,
that
seeing
they
had
passed
a
Sentence
of
Death
upon
him
,
He
desires
to
see
his
Children
and
Doctor
Juxon
.
and
his
time
might
be
nigh
,
he
might
see
his
Children
,
and
Doctor
Iuxon
Bishop
of
London
might
be
admitted
to
assist
him
in
his
private
Devotions
,
and
receiving
the
Sacrament
.
Both
which
at
length
were
granted
.
At
this
time
did
some
of
the
Grandees
of
the
Army
tempt
the
King
with
new
Proposals
;
The
King
tempted
with
new
Proposals
from
some
Grandees
of
the
Army
.
but
so
destructive
to
the
peoples
Liberty
and
Safety
,
so
contrary
to
his
Honour
and
Conscience
,
and
so
reproachful
to
any
Christian
Government
,
that
he
with
the
like
courage
and
constancy
which
he
had
shewed
throughout
his
Troubles
,
rejected
,
and
chose
the
Cross
;
to
prepare
him
whereto
,
the
Lord
Bishop
of
London
on
Sunday
(
being
that
day
guarded
at
Saint
Iames's
)
preached
before
him
on
these
words
—
In
the
day
when
God
shall
judge
the
secrets
of
all
men
by
Iesus
Christ
,
B.
Juxon
preacheth
before
him
at
Saint
James
'
s.
according
to
my
Gospel
.
On
Monday
following
,
His
Maj.
giveth
his
Blessing
to
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
and
the
Lady
Elizabeth
.
His
pious
advice
to
them
.
the
day
before
his
death
,
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
and
the
Lady
Elizabeth
were
brought
to
him
,
whom
he
most
joyfully
received
;
and
giving
his
Blessing
to
the
Princess
▪
He
had
her
remember
to
tell
her
Brother
James
,
when
even
she
should
see
him
,
That
it
was
his
Fathers
last
desire
,
that
he
should
look
no
more
upon
Charles
as
his
eldest
Brother
onely
,
but
be
obedient
unto
him
as
his
Sovereign
:
And
that
they
should
love
one
another
,
and
forgive
their
Fathers
Enemies
.
And
then
said
unto
her
,
Sweet-heart
,
you
will
forget
this
.
No
,
said
she
,
I
shall
never
forget
it
while
I
live
.
And
pouring
forth
abundance
of
Tears
,
promised
him
to
write
down
the
particulars
.
Then
the
King
taking
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
upon
his
Knee
,
said
,
Sweet-heart
,
now
they
will
Cut
off
thy
Fathers
Head
.
(
upon
which
words
the
Child
looked
very
wishfully
on
him
.
)
Mark
Child
what
I
say
;
They
will
Cut
off
my
Head
,
and
perhaps
make
thee
a
King
:
But
mark
what
I
say
,
you
must
n●t
be
a
King
,
so
long
as
your
Brothers
Charles
and
James
do
live
;
for
they
will
Cut
off
your
Brothers
Heads
(
when
they
can
catch
them
)
and
Cut
thy
Head
off
too
at
last
:
and
therefore
,
I
charge
you
do
not
be
made
a
King
by
them
.
At
which
the
Child
sighing
,
said
,
I
will
be
torn
in
pieces
first
.
Which
falling
so
unexpectedly
from
one
so
young
,
The
Duke
of
Gloucester
's
reply
.
it
made
the
King
rejoyce
exceedingly
.
Another
Relation
from
the
Lady
Elizabeths
own
Hand
.
What
the
King
said
to
me
29
of
January
last
,
being
the
last
time
I
had
the
happiness
to
see
him
:
The
Lady
Elizabeths
Relation
of
what
passed
between
his
Majesty
and
her
.
He
told
me
he
was
glad
I
was
come
,
and
although
he
had
not
time
to
say
much
,
yet
somewhat
he
had
to
say
to
me
,
which
he
had
not
to
another
,
or
leave
in
writing
,
because
he
feared
their
Crueltie
was
such
,
as
that
they
would
not
have
permitted
him
to
write
to
me
.
He
wished
me
not
to
grieve
and
torment
my self
for
him
;
for
that
would
be
a
glorious
Death
that
he
should
die
,
it
being
for
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
the
Land
.
He
bid
me
read
Bishop
Andrews
Sermons
,
Hookers
Ecclesiastical
Policy
,
He
adviseth
her
to
read
Bp.
Andrew
's
Sermons
,
Hookers
Policy
,
and
Bp.
Laud
against
Fisher.
and
Bishop
Laud
's
Book
against
Fisher
,
which
would
ground
me
against
Poperie
.
He
told
me
,
he
had
forgiven
all
his
Enemies
,
and
hoped
God
would
forgive
them
also
;
and
commanded
us
,
&c.
to
forgive
them
.
He
bid
me
tell
my
Mother
,
that
his
thoughts
had
never
strayed
from
her
,
and
that
his
Love
would
be
the
same
to
his
last
.
Withal
,
he
commanded
me
and
my
Brother
to
be
obedient
to
her
.
And
bid
me
send
his
Blessing
to
the
rest
of
my
Brothers
and
Sisters
,
with
commendation
to
all
his
Friends
.
So
after
he
had
given
me
his
Blessing
,
I
took
my
leave
.
Further
,
he
commanded
us
all
to
forgive
those
People
,
but
never
to
trust
them
;
for
they
had
been
most
false
to
him
,
and
to
those
that
gave
them
power
,
and
be
feared
also
to
their
own
Souls
.
And
desired
me
not
to
grieve
for
him
,
for
he
should
die
a
Martyr
;
and
that
he
doubted
not
but
that
the
Lord
would
settle
his
Throne
upon
his
Son
,
and
that
we
should
all
be
happier
than
we
could
have
expected
to
have
been
if
he
had
lived
.
With
many
other
things
,
which
at
present
I
cannot
Remember
.
A
Committee

But
to
amuse
the
people
,
for
prevention
of
a
rescue
,
they
caused
it
to
be
rumoured
as
if
they
would
respit
the
King
,
and
better
consider
of
so
weighty
and
important
a
business
,
when
the
next
day
discovered
their
villany
.
For
Tuesday
the
30
of
Ianuary
(
the
Fatal
day
)
being
come
,
the
Comissioners
met
,
and
ordered
four
or
five
of
their
Ministers
to
attend
upon
the
King
at
Saint
Iames's
,
Factious
Ministers
appointed
to
attend
the
King
;
he
refuseth
to
confer
with
them
.
where
they
yet
kept
him
;
but
his
Majesty
well
knowing
what
miserable
comforters
they
were
like
to
prove
,
refused
to
have
conference
with
them
.
That
Morning
,
before
his
Majesty
was
brought
thence
,
the
Bishop
of
London
d●d
again
Officiate
,
and
read
Divine
Service
in
his
presence
;
to
which
Duty
,
the
27
Chapter
of
Saint
Matthew
,
being
the
History
of
our
Saviours
Passion
,
was
appointed
by
the
Church-Calendar
for
the
second
Lesson
.
The
King
supposing
it
to
have
been
selected
on
purpose
,
thanked
him
afterwards
for
his
seasonable
choice
.
But
the
Bishop
modestly
declining
those
undue
thanks
,
told
him
that
it
came
by
course
to
be
read
on
that
day
;
Bp.
of
London
readeth
prayers
to
him
,
and
administers
the
Sacrament
.
which
very
much
comforted
his
Majesty
,
who
proceeded
to
the
remaining
duties
of
receiving
from
the
Bishop
the
Holy
Sacrament
,
and
the
other
preparations
for
his
approaching
passion
.
His
Devotions
being
ended
,
about
ten
a
clock
his
Majesty
was
brought
from
Saint
Iames's
to
White
hall
by
a
Regiment
of
Foot
,
The
King
brought
to
White-hall
.
with
Colours
flying
,
and
Drums
beating
,
(
through
the
Park
)
part
marching
before
,
and
part
behind
,
with
a
private
Guard
of
Partizans
about
him
,
the
Bishop
on
the
one
hand
,
and
Colonel
Thomlinson
(
who
had
the
charge
of
him
)
on
the
other
,
bare-headed
.
The
Guards
marching
a
slow
pace
,
as
on
a
solemn
and
sad
occasion
,
to
their
ill-tuned
Drums
:
He
bid
them
go
faster
,
(
as
his
usual
manner
of
walking
was
)
saying
—
That
he
now
went
before
them
to
strive
for
an
Heavenly
Crown
,
with
less
Sollicitude
than
he
had
often
encouraged
his
Souldiers
to
fight
for
an
Earthly
Diadem
.
B●ing
●ome
to
the
end
of
the
Park
,
he
went
up
the
stayers
leading
to
the
Long
-
〈◊〉
in
White-hall
,
where
he
used
formerly
to
lodge
.
There
finding
an
unexpected
delay
in
being
brought
upon
the
Scaffold
,
which
they
had
begun
but
that
Morning
,
He
past
the
most
of
that
time
(
having
received
a
Letter
from
the
Prince
in
the
interim
by
Mr.
Seymor
)
in
prayer
.
Mr.
Seymor
presents
his
Majesty
with
a
Letter
from
the
Prince
.
About
twelve
a
clock
his
Majesty
(
refusing
to
dine
)
eat
onely
a
bit
of
Bread
,
and
drank
a
g●ass
of
Claret
;
and
about
an
hour
after
,
Colonel
Hacker
with
other
Officers
and
Souldiers
,
brought
him
with
the
Bishop
and
Colonel
Thomlinson
through
the
Banqueting-house
to
the
Scaffold
,
whereto
the
passage
was
made
through
a
Window
.
A
strong
Guard
of
several
Regiments
of
Horse
and
Foot
were
placed
on
all
sides
,
which
hindred
the
neer
approach
of
his
miserable
and
distracted
Subjects
,
The
Kings
friends
●arbarously
u●●d
.
Engines
to
force
the
King
〈…〉
had
●●s●ted
.
(
who
for
manifesting
their
sorrow
,
were
barbarously
used
)
and
the
King
from
speaking
what
he
had
designed
for
their
Ears
:
whereupon
his
Majesty
finding
himself
disappointed
,
omitted
much
of
his
intended
Matter
;
but
having
viewed
the
Scaffold
(
which
had
Irons
driven
in
it
to
force
him
down
to
the
Block
by
Ropes
,
if
he
should
have
resisted
)
and
the
Axe
,
(
of
whose
Edge
he
was
very
careful
,
having
minded
one
(
a
Knight
then
present
)
of
touching
it
wi●h
his
Cloak
.
)
The
King
being
come
upon
the
Scaffold
,
look'd
very
earnestly
upon
the
Block
,
and
asked
Colonel
Hacker
if
there
were
no
higher
:
And
then
spake
thus
:
(
directing
his
Speech
chiefly
to
Colonel
Thomlinson
.
)
I
Shall
be
very
little
heard
of
any
body
else
,
I
shall
therefore
speak
a
word
to
you
here
:
Indeed
I
could
have
held
my
peace
very
well
,
His
Majesty
had
●ot
spo●en
b●t
that
●therwise
he
might
be
thought
to
submit
to
the
guilt
.
if
I
did
not
think
,
that
holding
my
peace
would
make
some
men
think
that
I
did
submit
to
the
Guilt
,
as
well
as
to
the
Punishment
:
But
I
think
it
is
my
dutie
to
God
first
,
and
then
to
my
Countrie
,
to
clear
my self
,
both
as
an
honest
man
,
a
good
King
,
and
a
good
Christian.
I
shall
begin
first
with
my
Innocency
;
and
in
troath
,
I
think
it
not
very
needful
for
me
to
Insist
long
upon
this
:
For
all
the
world
knows
,
that
I
did
never
begin
a
War
with
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
;
H●
began
not
〈◊〉
War
;
and
I
call
God
to
witness
,
unto
whom
I
must
shortly
make
an
account
,
that
I
did
never
intend
to
incroach
upon
their
Priviledges
:
They
began
upon
me
;
it
is
the
Militia
they
began
upon
:
span●
Ho●s●s
.
They
confess'd
the
Militia
was
mine
,
but
they
thought
it
fit
to
have
it
from
me
.
And
to
be
short
,
if
any
body
will
look
to
the
dates
of
Commissions
,
of
their
Commissions
and
mine
,
and
likewise
to
the
Declaration
,
he
will
see
clearly
,
that
they
began
these
unhappie
Troubles
,
not
I.
So
as
for
the
guilt
of
these
enormous
Crimes
that
are
laid
against
me
,
I
hope
that
God
will
clear
me
out
.
I
will
not
(
for
I
am
in
charitie
)
and
God
forbid
that
I
should
lay
it
upon
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
His
Majes●y
lays
not
the
〈…〉
the
two
〈◊〉
:
i●l
●●struments
the
cau●e
of
it
.
there
is
no
necessity
of
either
,
I
hope
they
are
free
of
this
guilt
;
but
I
believe
,
that
ill
instruments
between
them
and
me
,
have
been
the
chief
cause
of
all
this
blood-shed
:
So
that
as
I
finde
my self
clear
of
this
,
I
hope
(
and
pray
God
)
that
they
may
too
:
Yet
for
all
this
,
God
forbid
that
I
should
be
so
ill
a
Christian
,
as
not
to
say
,
that
Gods
judgements
are
just
upon
me
:
Many
times
he
doth
pay
justice
by
an
unjust
Sentence
,
〈…〉
Sentence
pu●●shed
with
another
.
that
is
ordinarie
:
I
will
say
this
,
That
unjust
Sentence
that
I
suffered
to
take
effect
,
is
punished
by
an
unjust
Sentence
upon
me
:
So
far
I
have
said
to
shew
you
,
〈…〉
am
an
innocent
man
.
Now
to
shew
you
that
I
am
a
good
Christian
;
I
hope
there
is
a
good
man
that
will
bear
me
witness
,
that
I
have
forgiven
all
the
world
,
His
Majesty
forgives
all
the
world
,
ev●●
the
ca●sers
〈◊〉
his
death
.
and
even
those
in
particular
,
that
have
been
the
chief
causers
of
my
Death
:
who
they
are
,
God
knows
I
do
not
desire
to
know
,
I
pray
God
forgive
them
.
But
this
is
not
all
,
my
charitie
must
go
further
;
I
wish
that
they
may
repent
,
for
in
●eed
they
have
committed
a
great
sin
in
that
particular
;
I
pray
God
with
St.
Stephen
,
〈…〉
wa●
to
P●ace
.
that
this
be
not
laid
to
their
charge
:
And
with●●
that
they
may
take
the
way
to
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
;
for
my
charitie
commands
me
,
not
onely
to
forgive
particular
men
,
but
to
endeavour
to
the
last
gasp
,
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
.
So
(
Sirs
)
I
do
wish
with
all
my
soul
,
(
I
see
there
are
some
here
that
will
carry
it
further
)
that
they
endeavour
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
.
(
Sirs
)
I
must
shew
you
,
both
how
you
are
out
of
the
way
,
and
put
you
in
a
way
.
First
,
You
are
out
of
the
way
;
for
certainly
all
the
ways
you
ever
had
yet
,
as
far
as
I
could
finde
by
any
thing
,
is
in
the
way
of
Conquest
:
Conquest
an
ill
way
,
seldom
〈◊〉
.
certainly
this
is
an
ill
way
;
for
Conquest
,
in
my
Opinion
,
is
never
just
,
except
there
be
a
just
and
good
cause
,
either
for
matter
of
wrong
,
or
a
just
Title
;
and
then
if
ye
go
beyond
the
first
quarrel
that
ye
have
,
that
makes
it
unjust
at
the
end
,
that
was
just
at
first
:
for
if
there
be
onely
matter
of
Conquest
,
then
it
is
a
great
Robbery
;
as
a
Pirate
said
to
Alexander
,
That
he
was
a
great
Robber
,
himself
was
but
a
petty
Robber
:
And
so
Sirs
,
I
think
for
the
way
that
you
are
in
,
you
are
much
out
of
the
way
.
Now
,
Sirs
,
to
put
you
in
the
way
;
believe
it
,
you
shall
never
go
right
,
nor
God
will
never
prosper
you
,
To
give
God
his
due
,
and
the
K●ng
his
〈◊〉
,
is
the
right
way
.
until
you
give
God
his
due
,
the
King
his
due
(
that
is
,
my
Successor
)
and
the
people
their
due
;
I
am
as
much
for
them
as
any
of
you
.
You
must
give
God
his
due
,
by
regulating
rightly
his
Church
,
according
to
the
Scripture
,
(
which
is
now
out
of
order
.
Give
God
his
due
in
set●ing
the
Church
.
)
And
to
set
you
in
a
way
particularly
,
now
I
cannot
;
but
onely
this
:
A
National
Synod
freely
called
,
freely
debating
among
themselves
,
must
settle
this
:
When
every
Opinion
is
freely
heard
.
As
to
the
King
,
it
concerning
〈◊〉
,
hi●
Majesty
●aves
it
.
For
the
King
,
indeed
I
will
not
,
the
Laws
of
the
Land
will
clearly
instruct
you
for
that
;
therefore
because
it
concerns
mine
own
particular
,
I
onely
give
you
a
touch
of
it
.
For
the
People
,
truly
I
desire
their
Libertie
and
freedom
as
much
as
any
body
whomsoever
:
Peoples
Liberty
consi●●s
in
having
Government
,
not
s●aring
in
it
.
But
I
must
tell
you
,
that
their
Libertie
and
their
freedom
consist
in
having
Government
under
those
Laws
,
by
which
their
lives
and
theirs
may
be
most
their
own
;
it
is
not
in
having
a
share
in
the
Government
,
that
is
nothing
pertaining
to
them
:
A
Subject
and
a
Soveraign
are
clean
different
things
;
and
therefore
until
you
do
that
,
I
mean
,
that
you
put
the
People
into
that
Libertie
,
as
I
say
,
certainly
they
will
never
enjoy
themselves
.
Sirs
,
it
was
for
this
that
now
I
am
come
hither
;
for
if
I
would
have
given
way
to
an
Arbitrary
way
,
for
to
have
all
Laws
changed
according
to
the
Power
of
the
Sword
,
I
need
not
have
come
here
;
and
therefore
I
tell
you
(
and
I
pray
God
it
be
not
laid
to
your
charge
)
that
I
am
the
MARTYR
of
the
people
.
His
Majesty
the
Martyr
of
the
People
.
In
troath
Sirs
,
I
shall
not
hold
you
any
longer
;
I
will
onely
say
this
to
you
,
that
I
could
have
desired
some
little
time
longer
,
because
I
would
have
put
this
,
what
I
have
said
,
a
little
better
digested
than
I
have
done
;
and
therefore
I
hope
you
will
excuse
me
.
I
have
delivered
my
Conscience
:
I
pray
God
you
take
those
Courses
,
that
are
best
for
the
good
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
your
own
Salvation
.
Dr.
Juxon
.
Will
your
Majesty
(
though
your
Majesties
affections
may
be
very
well
known
to
Religion
,
)
yet
it
may
be
expected
that
you
should
say
somewhat
for
the
worlds
satisfaction
.
King
.
I
thank
you
very
heartily
,
my
Lord
,
for
that
I
had
almost
forgotten
it
.
Introath
Sirs
,
My
Conscience
in
Religion
I
think
is
very
well
known
to
all
the
world
,
and
therefore
I
declare
before
you
all
,
His
Majestie
de●●ares
h●s
R●ligio●
.
That
I
die
a
Christian
,
according
to
the
profession
of
the
Church
of
England
,
as
I
found
it
left
me
by
my
Father
:
and
this
honest
man
I
think
will
witness
it
.
Then
turning
to
the
Officers
,
said
,
Sirs
,
excuse
me
for
this
same
;
I
have
a
good
cause
,
and
I
have
a
gracious
God
,
I
will
say
no
more
.
Then
turning
to
Colonel
Hacker
,
he
said
;
Take
care
they
do
not
put
me
to
pain
;
and
Sir
,
this
,
and
it
please
you
.
But
then
a
[
](A43206-e113130-b)*
*
Afterwards
Sir
William
Clerk
.
Gentleman
coming
near
the
Ax
,
the
King
said
,
Take
heed
of
the
Ax
,
pray
take
heed
of
the
Ax.
Then
the
King
speaking
to
the
Executioner
,
said
,
I
shall
say
but
very
short
prayers
;
and
when
I
thrust
out
my
hands
Then
the
King
called
to
Doctor
Iuxon
for
his
Night-cap
;
and
having
put
it
on
,
he
said
to
the
Executioner
,
The
King
makes
ready
for
Execution
.
Does
my
hair
trouble
you
?
who
desired
him
to
put
it
all
under
his
Cap
;
which
the
King
did
accordingly
,
by
the
help
of
the
Executioner
and
the
Bishop
:
Then
the
King
turning
to
Doctor
Iuxon
,
said
,
I
have
a
good
Cause
and
a
gracious
God
on
my
side
.
Dr.
Juxon
.
Dr.
Juxon
comforts
him
.
There
is
but
one
Stage
more
;
this
Stage
is
turbulent
and
troublesome
,
it
is
a
short
one
:
But
you
may
consider
,
it
will
soon
carry
you
a
very
great
way
:
it
will
carry
you
from
Earth
to
Heaven
;
and
there
you
will
finde
a
great
deal
of
cordial
Ioy
and
Comfort
.
King
.
I
go
from
a
corruptible
to
an
incorruptible
Crown
;
where
no
disturbance
can
be
,
no
disturbance
in
the
world
.
Dr.
Juxon
.
You
are
exchanged
from
a
Temporary
to
an
Eternal
Crown
;
a
good
exchange
.
The
King
then
said
to
the
Executioner
,
Is
my
hair
well
?
Then
the
King
took
off
his
Cloak
and
his
George
,
giving
his
George
to
Doctor
Iuxon
,
It
is
known
for
to
give
it
the
Prince
.
saying
,
Remember
.
Then
the
King
put
off
his
Doublet
,
and
being
in
his
Wast-coat
,
put
his
Cloak
on
again
:
then
looking
upon
the
Block
,
said
to
the
Executioner
,
You
must
set
it
fast
.
Executioner
.
It
is
fast
,
Sir
.
King
.
His
Majesty
gives
the
Signal
.
When
I
put
my
hands
out
this
way
,
stretching
them
out
,
then
,
—
After
that
,
having
said
two
or
three
words
(
as
he
stood
)
to
himself
,
with
hands
and
eyes
lift
up
;
Immediately
stooping
down
,
he
laid
his
Neck
upon
the
Block
;
and
then
the
Executioner
again
putting
his
hair
under
his
Cap
,
the
King
(
thinking
he
had
been
going
to
strike
)
said
,
Stay
for
the
Signe
.
Executioner
.
Yes
,
I
will
,
and
it
please
your
Majesty
.
And
after
a
very
little
pause
,
the
King
stretching
forth
his
Hands
,
the
Executioner
at
one
Blow
severed
his
Head
from
his
Body
.
He
is
Executed
.
The
Head
being
off
,
the
Executioner
held
it
up
,
and
shewed
it
to
the
people
;
which
done
,
it
was
with
the
Body
put
in
a
Coffin
covered
with
Black
Velvet
for
that
purpose
,
and
conveyed
into
his
Lodgings
there
:
And
from
thence
it
was
carried
to
his
House
at
Saint
Iames's
,
where
his
Body
was
Embalmed
and
put
in
a
Coffin
of
Lead
,
and
laid
there
a
fortnight
to
be
seen
by
the
people
:
and
on
the
Wednesday
sevennight
,
his
Corps
Embalmed
and
Coffined
in
Lead
,
was
delivered
chiefly
to
the
care
of
four
of
his
Servants
,
The
Corps
committed
to
the
care
of
his
servants
.
viz.
Mr.
Herbert
,
Captain
Anthony
Mildmay
,
his
Sewers
;
Captain
Preston
,
and
Iohn
Ioyner
,
formerly
Cook
to
his
Majesty
:
they
attended
(
with
others
)
clothed
in
Mourning
●utes
and
Cloaks
;
accompanied
the
Herse
that
night
to
Windsor
,
Carri●d
to
Windsor
.
and
placed
it
in
h●t
which
was
formerly
the
Kings
Bed-chamber
:
next
day
it
was
removed
into
the
Deans
Hall
,
which
Room
was
hanged
with
black
,
and
made
dark
,
with
Lights
burning
round
the
Herse
;
in
which
it
remained
till
three
in
the
afternoon
,
about
which
time
came
the
Duke
of
Lenox
,
the
Marquess
of
Hertford
,
the
Marquess
of
Dorchester
,
Some
Lords
get
an
order
for
the
burial
of
the
King
.
and
the
Earl
of
Lyndsey
,
having
obtained
an
Order
from
the
Parliament
for
the
decent
Interment
of
the
King
their
Royal
Master
,
provided
the
expence
thereof
exceeded
not
five
hundred
pounds
.
At
their
coming
into
the
Castle
,
they
shewed
their
Order
of
Parliament
to
Colonel
Whichcot
Governour
of
the
Castle
,
They
desire
it
might
be
in
St.
Gorge
's
Chappel
by
Common-prayer
:
are
denyed
.
They
expostulate
,
but
prevail
not
.
desiring
the
Interment
might
be
in
Saint
George's
Chappel
,
and
by
the
form
in
the
Common-prayer-Book
of
the
Church
of
England
.
This
request
was
by
the
Governour
denyed
,
saying
,
it
was
improbable
that
the
Parliament
would
permit
the
use
of
what
they
had
so
solemnly
abolished
,
and
therein
destroy
their
own
Act.
To
which
the
Lords
replyed
,
There
was
a
difference
betwixt
destroying
their
own
Act
,
and
dispensing
with
it
,
and
that
no
Power
so
binds
its
own
hands
,
as
to
disable
it self
in
some
Cases
.
But
all
could
not
prevail
,
the
Governour
persisting
in
the
search
of
a
convenient
place
for
the
Burial
of
the
Corps
;
Seeking
a
place
for
Burial
,
they
finde
Hen.
8
's
Vault
.
the
which
after
some
pains
taken
therein
,
they
discovered
a
Vault
in
the
middle
of
the
Quire
,
wherein
,
as
it
was
probably
conjectured
,
lyeth
the
body
of
King
Henry
the
eighth
,
and
his
beloved
Wife
,
the
Lady
Iane
Seymor
,
both
in
Coffins
of
Lead
:
in
this
Vault
,
there
being
room
for
one
more
,
they
resolved
to
interre
the
Body
of
the
King
;
the
which
was
accordingly
brought
to
the
place
,
The
Funeral
.
born
by
the
Officers
of
the
Garrison
,
the
four
Corners
of
the
Velvet
Pall
born
up
by
the
aforesaid
four
Lords
,
the
Lord
Bishop
of
London
following
next
,
and
other
persons
of
Quality
;
the
Body
was
committed
to
the
Earth
with
sighs
and
Tears
,
especially
of
the
Reverend
Bishop
,
as
denyed
to
do
the
last
Duty
and
Service
to
his
Dear
and
Royal
Master
;
the
Velvet
Pall
being
cast
into
the
Vault
,
was
laid
over
the
Body
.
Upon
the
Coffin
were
these
words
set
:
KING
CHARLES
.
1648.
All
Elegies
are
useless
and
in
vain
,
While
Charles
the
Second
shall
be

No

A
CHRONICLE
OF
THE
CIVIL
WARS
OF
ENGLAND
,
SCOTLAND
,
and
IRELAND
.
THE
SECOND
PART
:
BEING
The
Democracie
.
THe
Scepter
had
not
departed
from
Great
Britain
,
nor
had
the
Imperial
Majesty
of
England
been
ever
darkned
,
England
had
not
been
without
Regal
Government
from
the
begininng
.
or
in
any
part
so
Eclipsed
,
since
the
Nation
first
Inhabited
the
Island
,
which
is
beyond
the
computation
of
any
History
.
Regnum
Britanniae
principio
Regis
habuere
,
was
an
original
and
constant
truth
through
innumerable
successions
,
nor
did
it
ever
vary
in
the
most
difficult
perplexities
of
whatsoever
Revolutions
.
Indeed
Monarchy
was
so
congenerous
with
the
People
and
Inhabitants
of
this
Island
,
that
civil
Fortune
,
when
she
had
given
up
the
rest
of
the
world
to
the
potent
Arms
of
Romes
Senate
,
and
that
victorious
Commonwealth
(
for
Caesar
had
Conquered
France
and
Spain
as
a
General
in
their
service
)
yet
reserved
us
to
be
the
infallible
next
and
immediate
Omen
of
his
future
Empire
,
when
he
parted
hence
with
a
resolved
and
facilitated
Ambition
of
seizing
the
universal
Soveraignty
;
and
't
is
observable
,
that
the
Britains
were
never
taken
into
the
protection
of
the
Senate
and
people
of
Rome
,
but
of
Caesar
onely
.
After
the
decay
of
that
Empire
,
we
changed
our
Governours
onely
,
It
had
change
of
Governours
,
not
change
of
Government
.
not
the
Government
,
which
in
our
British
,
Saxon
,
and
Danish
Rule
,
was
one
and
the
same
,
save
that
it
was
divided
into
several
Principalities
under
the
Heptarchy
,
and
afterwards
parted
among
the
Invading
Potentates
,
until
the
Norman
Line
successfully
grasped
all
,
and
united
the
whole
Realm
of
England
under
one
entire
Regality
.
The
Royal
race
had
continued
562
years
in
ou●
Regality
.
In
this
Royal
race
the
Crown
had
continued
562
years
;
and
though
some
of
those
Princes
had
been
dispossessed
and
outed
of
the
Throne
,
yet
was
it
but
transferred
to
another
proprietor
;
changed
onely
the
Temples
,
that
it
might
sit
faster
and
easier
,
and
with
more
spreading
splendor
shew
its
self
to
the
World
.
Of
such
a
veneration
was
the
Royal
right
always
esteemed
,
that
the
Laws
placed
it
beyond
the
power
of
Fate
,
and
made
it
the
supreme
sanction
,
that
the
King
never
Dieth
;
like
the
Sun
in
his
Glorious
Orb
,
that
perpetually
shires
,
though
our
interposed
sight
conceives
him
benighted
,
Moritur
&
Oritur
,
In
the
s●me
instance
and
moment
he
sets
and
riseth
.
Now
clouds
a●●
darkn●●●
,
black●ess
and
〈…〉
.
But
oh
,
the
thick
gloominess
,
those
dismal
Clouds
,
that
palpable
Darkness
,
which
enveloped
the
setting
of
this
our
Martyr'd
Soveraign
!
The
Face
of
the
Kingdom
gathered
blackness
,
and
we
seemed
to
have
returned
to
our
first
Cha●s
;
nothing
of
Order
,
Frame
,
or
Constitution
remaining
to
be
seen
.
If
we
l●oked
upwards
,
the
incensed
Heavens
had
vailed
themselves
from
beholding
this
Impiety
:
if
upon
our selves
,
our
stupified
senses
and
our
despairing
looks
gave
s●gnes
,
Humanity
was
fled
,
and
Nature
could
not
long
continue
:
if
round
about
us
,
the
reproaches
and
derision
of
the
world
,
and
the
affronts
and
impudence
of
these
flagitious
Regicides
,
pointing
at
,
and
deriding
us
for
our
disloyal
cowardise
,
sharpned
those
stings
of
Conscience
,
and
made
us
seek
Soli●udes
,
and
wish
for
a
total
dissolution
:
If
downwards
,
the
mournful
Earth
gaped
for
vengeance
,
and
represented
us
the
infernal
Tomb
of
less
wicked
Rebels
,
Corah
and
his
Tribe
.
Horrour
and
Amazem●nt
.
Nothing
but
horrour
and
amazement
possest
us
,
Hope
abandoned
us
;
Women
miscarried
and
died
.
Young
people
made
vows
of
abstinence
and
perpetual
chastity
,
Old
Mens
spirits
●ai●ed
them
,
and
they
gave
up
the
Ghost
,
Children
wept
and
lamented
(
by
a
natural
instinct
)
for
this
Father
of
their
Country
;
an
universal
out-cry
there
was
to
Heaven
for
help
and
mercy
:
those
whose
stronger
hearts
could
not
presently
yield
,
felt
such
Convulsions
within
them
,
as
if
they
were
in
travel
with
grief
,
and
knew
not
how
to
be
delivered
of
their
unwieldy
burden
.
In
fine
,
shame
and
anguish
laid
hold
upon
us
,
and
our
Glory
departed

〈…〉
dissolution
.
No
less
extasies
of
grief
could
serve
to
shew
how
sensible
we
were
of
the
dissolution
of
that
Political
Machine
,
which
had
so
long
and
so
happily
conserved
our
Honour
,
our
Lives
,
and
our
Liberties
;
wherein
the
Princes
Prerogative
,
and
the
Subjects
Propriety
,
so
harmoniously
moved
,
without
the
least
jar
and
discordance
for
so
many
hundred
of
years
,
till
our
unhappy
Reformers
took
too
much
upon
them
,
and
would
be
tampering
with
that
Noli
me
Tangere
▪
the
sacred
(
and
not
to
be
profaned
)
right
of
Princes
;
boldly
distingui●●ing
betwixt
the
personal
and
political
capacity
of
the
King
,
and
so
making
him
co-ordinate
with
his
Parliament
:
An
impious
Treasonable
Tenet
,
and
the
corrupt
Founta●n
and
bitter
source
of
all
those
undutiful
and
rebellious
actions
●gainst
that
blessed
Prince
,
and
since
damn'd
by
a
Parliament
it self
in
those
●x●ress
Epithets
.
It
therefor●
the
Indians
do
customarily
every
night
with
sorrowful
Lamentations
take
le●ve
of
the
Sun
,
whom
yet
undoubtedly
they
expect
in
the
Morning
;
no
wonder
will
it
seem
to
posterity
(
nor
will
these
evidences
of
our
consternation
(
before
recited
)
be
thought
an

if
so
disconsolately
we
saw
our
Sun
pulled
out
of
his
Orb
,
and
darkned
in
the
shadow
of
Death
;
his
Beams
cut
off
and
eloigned
into
obscure
and
remote
corners
,
from
whence
,
it
was
treason
against
these
Princes
of
Darkness
to
return
,
and
with
their
hereditary
successive
influence
to
re-visit
and
revive
the
drooping
dying
hearts
of
a
forlorn
and
deserted
people
.
Such
was
our
condition
in
the
deprivation
and
extinguishing
of
that
lamp
of
life
,
which
supplied
with
so
many
vertues
and
graces
,
rendred
our
Martyr'd
Soveraign
the
most
conspicuous
of
all
Monarchs
,
His
Majesty
might
have
lived
very
long
.
The
Prince
ab●●●t
,
and
might
have
prolonged
his
days
to
an
extraordinary
term
;
so
proportionate
and
fit
,
had
God
and
Nature
made
him
to
Eternity
.
The
same
was
our
fearful
case
,
in
the
absence
and
exile
of
our
present
miraculously-restored
Prince
,
Charles
the
second
;
whom
yet
wiser
and
kinder
providence
had
secured
in
that
cloud
,
but
in
safety
.
and
by
a
timely
rescue
had
in
safety
conveyed
into
Forrain
Parts
,
out
of
the
reach
of
these
Herods
,
who
would
have
stretched
out
their
Hands
also
against
his
innocent
and
most
precious
Life
.
Now
when
there
was
neither
Sun
,
Moon
,
nor
Stars
(
the
King
murthered
,
Regal
Authority

,
the
Heir
excluded
,
the
House
of
Lords
turned
out
of
doors
,
and
the
House
of
Commons
turned
into
a
Den
of
Thieves
,
and
packt
Juncto
and
Conventicle
of
a
most
perdite
sort
of
men

did
these
Bats
and
Scritch-owls
usurp
the
Dominiou
of
the
night
of
our
confusions
,
In
the
night
of
confusion
,
Bats

Scritch-owles
rule
.
and
take
upon
them
to
Enact
and
give
Laws
suitable
to
their
interests
,
as
rational
as
true
;
which
shewed
they
concerned
the
Law-givers
,
not
the
receivers
.
The
first
hoarse
and
ominous
noise
they
made
,
as
a
foundation
and
main
principle
of
their
wild
Government
,
was
a
fained
note
to
catch
the
Vulgar
and
the
mad
rabble
,
on
whom
they
wholely
depended
,
and
whom
they
were
to
flatter
(
no
force
)
into
slavery
and
servitude
,
by
the
specious
hopes
of
their
arriving
also
in
time
to
be
Governours
and
States-men
,
and
to
share
in
the
honours
and
profits
of
their
new
Commonwealth
.
They
make
an
Act
forbidding
the
Proclamation
of
a
King
,
&c.
Jan.
30.
This
was
concluded
,
as
is
mentioned
before
,
in
these
few
words
,
viz.
That
all
power
and
Authority
is
originally
in
the
people
:
And
in
order
to
that
,
they
now
emitted
a
Tidy
Act
by
way
of
a
Proclamation
;
which
was
with
wonderful
Expedition
sounded
all
the
Kingdom
over
,
in
these
or
the
like
words
.
That
where
as
several
pretences
might
be
made
to
this
Crown
,
and
Title
to
the
Kingly
Office
set
on
foot
,
to
the
apparent
hazard
of
the
publike
Peace
;
Be
it
Enacted
and
Ordained
by
this
present
Parliament
,
and
the
Authority
of
the
same
,
that
no
Person
whatsoever
do
presume
to
Proclaim
,
declare
,
publish
,
or
any
ways
to
promote
Charles
Stuart
,
Son
of
the
said
Charles
late
King
of
England
,
commonly
called
Prince
of
Wales
,
or
any
other
person
to
be
King
on
chief
Magistrate
of
England
or
Ireland
,
or
of
any
Dominions
belonging
to
them
;
by
colour
of
Inheritance
,
Succession
,
Election
,
or
any
other
claim
whatsoever
,
without
the
free
consent
of
the
People
in
Parliament
first
had
or
signified
by
a
particular
Act
or
Ordinance
for
that
purpose
:
any
Law
,
Statute
,
Vsage
,
or
Custom
to
the
contrary
notwithstanding
.
And
whosoever
shall
contrary
to
this
Act
,
Proclaim
or
cause
to
be
Proclaimed
,
&c.
shall
be
deemed
and
adjudged
a
Traytor
,
and
suffer
accordingly
.
So
did
they
contrive
and
imagine
to
obstruct
and
bar
the
way
to
the
Throne
which
themselves
had
Invaded
,
and
parted
into
shares
;
but
such
monstrous
wickedness
boyling
up
to
an
excess
of
malice
towards
the
dead
and
living
Proprietors
of
the
Crown
,
was
not
suffered
to
pass
without
an
allay
and
cooler
,
in
a
Printed
Proclamation
thrown
about
streets
,
A
Proclamation
thrown

letting
them
see
the
people
would
not
run
a
gadding
after
their
Calves
at
Bethel
,
as
they
would
have
fancied
to
themselves
,
but
would
keep
in
the
old
path
,
and
beaten
track
of
Government
,
in
the
succession
of
Charles
the
second
to
the
Majesty
of
England
.
Which
Proclamation
was
as
followeth
:
We
the
Noblemen
,
The
Procclamation
.
Iudges
,
Knights
,
Lawyers
,
Gentlemen
,
Ministers
,
Freeholders
,
Merchants
,
Citizens
,
&c.
and
other
Free-men
of
England
,
do
according
to
our
Allegiance
and
Covenant
,
by
these
Presents
,
heartily
,
joyfully
,
and
unanimously
acknowledge
,
and
Proclaim
,
the
Illustrious
Charles
Prince
of
Wales
,
next
Heir
of
the
Blood
Royal
to
his
Blessed
Father
King
Charles
(
whose
late
wicked
and
Trayterous
Murder
we
do
from
our
so●ts
abominate
,
and
all
parties
and
consenters
thereunto
)
to
be
by
Hereditary
Birth-right
,
and
Lawful
Succession
,
rightful
and
undoubted
King
of
Great
Britain
,
France
,
and
Ireland
,
and
the
Dominions
thereunto
belonging
—
And
that
we
will
faithfully
,
constantly
,
and
sincerely
,
in
our
several
places
and
callings
defend
and
maintain
his
Royal
Person
,
Crown
,
and
Dignity
,
with
our
Blates
,
Lives
,
and
last
drop
of
our
Blood
,
against
all
Opposers
thereof
,
whom
we
do
hereby
declare
to
be
Traytors
,
and
Enemies
to
his
Majesty
and
his
Kingdoms
.
In
Testimony
whereof
,
we
have
ordered
,
and
caused
these
to
be
published
and
Proclaimed
throughout
all
Countries
and
Corporations
of
this
Realm
,
the
first
day
of
February
,
and
the
first
year
of
his
Majesties
Raign
.
God
save
King
Charles
the
second
.
This
without
any
solemnity
,
or
indeed
open
appearance
,
met
with
the
chearful
reception
,
and
inward
Loyal
resolutions
,
as
if
vent
had
been
given
to
a
publike
manifestation
of
Duty
and
Joy
,
upon
his
Majesties
present
accession
to
the
Crown
:
for
it
revived
the
Hearts
of
mourning
and
disconsolate
Subjects
,
to
see
the
sure
and
certain
Succession
thereof
to
be
continued
in
the
same
most
beloved
name
,
the
Eldest
Branch
and
descendant
of
their
Martyr'd
Soveraign
,
in
whose
ruines
the
Regicides
thought
to
have
raked
up
and
buried
all
the
claims
and
just
Titles
to
this
Impartial
Diadem
.
In
tendency
whereunto
,
they
first
considered
how
to
keep
the
honest
Members
(
the
Army
had
Secluded
)
from
entring
in
again
,
They
Vote
the
Exclusion
of
the
Members
the
Army
had
secluded
.
that
they
might
not
have
too
many
partakers
in
the
spoil
of
the
Kingdoms
;
and
therefore
another
Legislative
by-blow
was
Enacted
,
That
all
those
Members
that
had
assented
to
the
Vote
of
the
5
of
December
,
concerning
the
Kings
Concessions
,
should
never
be
re-admitted
;
and
such
as
Voted
in
the
Negative
should
presently
enter
their
said
dissent
,
or
before
they
were
to
be
admitted
.
And
this
characteristical
discrimination
they
most
punctually
insisted
on
to
the
very
last
,
as
the
main
Pillar
of
their
Oligarchy
:
and
we
shall
see
this
difference
hardly
laboured
throughout
their
Usurpation
.
The
House
of
Lords
Voted
useless
,
Feb.
5.
On
the
5
of
February
they
fell
again
upon
the
standing
remains
of
the
dissolved
Government
,
the
Peerage
and
Nobility
of
the
Kingdom
,
whose
medling
in
State-affairs
to
the
settlement
of
the
Nation
,
and
their
Message
to
that
purpose
,
they
had
scornfully
rejected
,
not
looking
upon
them
as
a
part
of
the
people
;
but
at
one
blow
,
and
with
the
breath
of
one
Vote
,
which
imported
that
the
House
of
Lords
were
useless
and
dangerous
,
and
so
ought
to
be
abolished
,
they
laid
them
aside
,
having
given
order
for
an
Act
to
be
drawn
up
accordingly
;
yet
so
far
indulging
their
Honours
the
favour
of
any
mean
Subjects
priviledge
,
to
be
Elected
either
Knight
or
Burgess
to
serve
in
their
House
.
Against
this
civil
and
political
Execution
,
came
forthwith
likewise
a
Declaration
and
Protestation
,
The
protestation
of
the
Nobility
against
it
.
dated
,
February
the
8.
in
the
name
of
the
Nobility
,
braving
them
with
their
illegal
,
Trayterous
,
Barbarous
,
and
bold
saucy
Usurpation
,
with
other
arguments
,
mingled
with
threats
,
menaces
,
invectives
,
which
will
be
too
tedious
to
recite
:
And
indeed
it
was
to
little
purpose
then
,
for
it
was
too
late
to
argue
with
,
or
to
Vapour
against
those
men
,
who
were
so
Fortified
in
their
new
Empire
,
by
a
so
numerous
,
and
potent
,
and
well-paid
Army
.
—
Something
might
have
been
done
when
this
Cockatrice
was
a
hatching
;
but
now
its
angry
looks
were
enough
to
kill
those
that
enviously
beheld
it
.
And
to
let
them
see
how
little
they
valued
,
and
how
slightly
they
thought
of
the
injury
the
Peers
so
highly
urged
,
they
with
the
same
easie
demolition
of
Kingly-Government
,
The
Kingly
Power
Voted
Useless
,
Feb.
7.
by
a
Vote
that
it
is
unnecessary
,
burdensome
,
and
dangerous
,
overwhelm
the
whole
Fabrick
together
,
bidding
them
seek
a
place
to
erect
their
Monumental
Lordships
;
and
Honour
was
never
yet
so
neer
a
shaddow
.
Now
that
they
were
thus
possest
of
the
whole
entire
Power
and
Authority
,
for
the
better-exercise
thereof
,
and
the
speedier
fruition
of
the
sweets
thereof
,
they
agree
to
part
and
divide
the
Province
,
the
Government
among
them
.
To
this
end
,
they
concluded
to
erect
an
Athenian
Tyranny
of
some
40
of
them
,
under
the
Name
and
Title
of
a
Council
of
State
,
A
Council
of
Sate
in
Force
.
to
whom
the
Executive
part
of
their
Power
should
be
committed
,
while
the
Parliament
(
as
they
called
their
Worships
)
should
exercise
onely
the
Judicatory
part
thereof
;
and
so
between
them
make
quick
work
of
their
business
,
in
confounding
and
ruining
the
Kingdom
.
And
that
they
might
likewise
appear
to
the
people
as
great
preservers
of
the
Laws
,
and
to
study
their
weal
in
the
due
aministration
of
Justice
;
their
next
care
was
for
drawing
up
Commissions
for
the
Judges
;
Iudges
Commissioned
.
which
ran
in
the
new
stile
of
the
Keepers
of
the
Liberties
of
England
,
by
Authority
of
Parliament
;
and
to
that
purpose
,
a
Conference
was
had
by
a
Committee
with
the
Judges
about
it
;
-
six
whereof
agreed
to
hold
,
upon
a
Proviso
to
be
made
by
an
Act
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
that
the
Fundamental
Laws
should
not
be
abolished
:
a
very
weak
security
,
but
that
it
met
with
strong
and
prepared
confidence
:
these
were
Lord
Chief
Justice
Rolls
,
and
Justice
Iermyn
of
the
Kings-Bench
;
Chief
Justice
Saint-Iohn
,
and
Justice
Pheasant
,
of
the
Common-Pleas
,
and
Chief
Justice
Wilde
,
(
how
he
was
made
so
,
Captain
Burleigh
tells
us
,
)
and
Baron
Yates
:
the
other
six
refused
,
as
knowing
the
Laws
and
the
present
Anarchy
were
incompatible
and
incapable
of
any
expedient
to
sute
them
together
.
But
the
one
half
was
very
fair
,
and
served
to
keep
the
Lawyers
in
practice
,
and
from
dashing
at
their
illegal
Authority
.
In
pursuance
of
that
promise
made
to
those
Judges
that
held
,
and
to
deceive
and
cologne
the
people
,
they
Passed
a
Declaration
,
That
they
were
fully
resolved
to
maintain
,
They
declare
to
preserve
and
maintain
the
Laws
.
and
would
uphold
and
maintain
,
preserve
and
keep
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
the
Nation
,
as
to
the
preservation
of
the
Lives
,
Liberties
,
and
Properties
of
the
People
,
with
all
things
incident
thereunto
,
saving
those
alterations
concerning
the
King
and
House
of
Lords
already
made
.
And
yet
notwithstanding
,
they
at
the
same
time
were
Erecting
High
Courts
of
Justice
;
impressed
Sea-men
,
and
levied
illegal
Taxes
by
Souldiers
,
and
many
other
Enormities
.
But
it
seems
those
Judges
were
content
with
the
preservation
of
the
litigious
part
of
the
Law
,
extending
this
Proviso
no
further
,
than
to
the
private
disputes
of
Meum
&
Tuum
,
whilst
this
publike
Monster
swallowed
all
.
Having
thus
establisht
themselves
in
the
Civil
Power
,
with
some
face
of
a
Democratical
Authority
,
they
proceeded
to
other
Acts
of
State
,
to
give
reputation
to
themselves
,
and
strength
to
their
Government
;
the
first
whereof
,
was
their
Voting
a
New
stamp
for
Coyn
,
A
new
stamp
for
Coyn
Voted
.
whereby
their
Soveraignty
might
be
notified
to
all
the
world
,
in
the
Trade
and
traffique
thereof
:
Next
,
designing
several
Agents
and
Envoys
to
go
to
the
Courts
of
Forrain
Princes
,
Agents
and
Envoys
designed
to
Forrain
Princes
.
and
there
by
their
specious
challenges
and
shews
of
Liberty
and
publike
good
,
the
pretence
of
the
Law
of
Nations
,
peculiarly
the
Municipal
Laws
of
this
,
to
palliate
over
,
the
Justifie
their
unparallell'd
proceedings
against
the
King
;
of
which
Messengers
we
shall
presently
speak
.
And
so
we
shall
for
a
while
leave
these
Usurpers
amidst
the
several
Complements
given
them
by
way
of
Salutation
from
the
Army
and
Sectarian
party
,
under
the
yet-continued
Notion
of
the
Godly
;
who
forsooth
highly
magnified
their
Justice
in
this
,
and
urged
them
in
their
Addresses
to
extend
it
further
.
The
monthly
Fast
Nulled
.
(
About
this
time
the
Parliament
Nulled
the
Monthly
Fast
on
Wednesday
,
which
had
continued
through
all
the
War
,
thinking
to
impose
upon
the
people
,
as
if
God
had
answered
all
their
prayers
in
that
Murther
of
the
King
,
and
that
the
work
of
Reformation
was
now
accomplished
.
)
It
was
high
time
therefore
for
such
of
the
Kings
party
as
were
in
their
hands
to
look
about
them
;
for
besides
the
rise
and
most
certain
rumour
of
a
general
Massacre
intended
against
the
whole
,
which
was
debated
at
a
Council
of
War
;
and
carried
but
by
two
Votes
,
Several
escapes
of
the
Cavalier
party
.
viz.
Col.
Massey
,
Sir
Lewis
Dives
,
Mr
Holden
,
and
Lord
Capel
;
the
last
of
them
betrayed
by
Davis
a
Water-man
,
they
had
special
information
of
proceedings
to
be
had
against
them
,
in
the
same
way
of
Tryal
,
before
a
High
Court
of
Justice
.
First
therefore
Colonel
Massey
escapes
away
from
Saint
Iames's
,
just
upon
the
Kings
Death
;
next
,
Sir
Lewis
Dives
and
Master
Holden
being
brought
to
White-hall
upon
examination
,
pretending
to
ease
themselves
,
got
down
the
Common-shore
to
the
Water-side
,
and
escaped
,
leaving
their
Warders
in
the
lurch
;
and
to
a
vain
research
after
them
.
The
Lord
Capel
likewise
made
a
handsome
escape
out
of
the
Tower
;
but
passing
by
Water
to
Lambeth

Lord

escapes
from
Windsor-Castle
with

And
the
Lord
of
Loughborough
Brother
to
Ferdinando
then
Earl
of
Huntingdon
,
famous
for
several
Loyal
Services
,
but
most
maligned
by
the
Parliament
for
the
last
effort
thereof
at
Colchester
,
gave
them
also
the
slip
from
Windsor-Castle
(
where
he
and
the
Colonels
Tuke
,
Hamond
,
and
Francis
Heath
(
newly
at
liberty
upon
his
parole
to
finde
good
security
)
and
other
Royalists
were
imprisoned
)
and
got
cleaverly
away
,
and
in
March
arrived
at
Rotterdam
in
Holland
,
where
on
the
New-bridge
he
accidently
met
with
Colonel
Massey
,
who
claiming
knowledge
of
him
,
from
Lidbury-figh●
,
where
they
more
unhappily
encountred
each
other
;
his
Lor●ship
was
civilly
and
Nobly
pleased
●upon
the
Colonels
protestation
of
a
●●urn
and
entire
obedience
to
his
Majesties
Authority
)
to
pass
with
him
in
company
to
the
Hague
,
whither

this
occasion
happily

.
The
King
at
the
Hague
,
Feb.
&c.
The
Prince
of
A●range
a
friend
to
the
Royal
Family
.
The
King
our
Soveraign
,
Charles
the
second
,
then
kept
his
Court
there
,
furnished
with
Blacks
and
other
mournful
Embl●●s
of
his
ra●●●rs
Death
,
at
the
charge
of
the
Prince
of
Aurange
,
whose
mo●●●ignal
kindnesses
to
the
Royal
Fa●●●y
may
not
pass
without
a
due
Commemoration
.
The
King
was
here
attended
by
the
Lord
Marquess
of
Montress
the
Lords
Hopton
,
Wilmot
,
Culpeper
,
We●worth
,
and
other
great
Personages
,
Sir
Edward
Hide
,
Sir
Edward
Nicholas
,
and
a
Noble
(
though
poor
)
retinue
of
old
Royalists
,
who
had
vowed
to
his
Majesties
Fortunes
.
The
Relator
was
present
,
when
the
Lord
of
Loughborough
added
Colonel
Massey
to
that
number
,
both
of
them
kissing
the
Kings
Hand
the
same
morning
;
the
Lord
in
his
Majesties
Privy-Chamber
,
where
he
was
received
by
the
King
with
all
possible
gladness
and
joy
of
his
escape
,
and
other
endearments
;
the
Colonel
was
very
respectfully
and
civilly
treated
,
and
confirmed
into
the
Kings
Service
and
Trust
,
by
his
Majesties
gracious
acceptation
of
his
sorrow
for
his
former
actions
,
and
his
resolutions
of
reparatory
Duty
.
The
new
Estates
of
England
liked
not
well
of
his
so
neer
neighbourhood
and
entertainment
,
in
a
Commonwealth
too
,
and
thought
their
greatness
so
formidable
,
that
it
could
perswade
(
without
any
more
trouble
)
all
places
and
people
to
his
dereliction
;
and
to
this
purpose
,
they
insinuated
the
same
intentions
to
Myn
Heer
Pauw
(
the
then
Dutch
Resident
here
)
who
was
sent
over
by
the
States
,
as
also
another
Embassador
from
the
French
,
besides
the
earnest
intervention
of
the
Scots
Commissioners
,
to
intercede
for
the
King
)
with
whom
they
had
several
discourses
about
the
dangerous
greatness
of
the
Prince
of
Aurange
:
and
't
is
reported
the
Man
was
made
by
them
.
He
departed
hence
about
the
middle
of
March
,
very
well
pleased
with
the
pronts
of
his
Embassie
.
Though
they
could
not
reach
the
King
,
and
though
some
of
his
best
Subjects
had
outreached
them
,
yet
many
others
could
not
so
escape
them
.
Master
Beaumount
a
Minister
belonging
to
the
Garison
of
Pomfret
,
then
beleagured
by
Major-General
Lambert
,
in
place
of
Rainsborough
,
who
was
killed
,
and
buried
at
Wapping
neer
London
,
as
aforesaid
,
was
taken
for
holding
correspondence
in
cypher
;
and
by
a
Council
of
War
Condemned
and
Hanged
before
the
Castle
,
Mr.
Beaumont
Executed
at
Pomfret
,
Feb.
7.
presently
after
the
Kings
Death
;
and
deserves
to
be
placed
as
the
Protomartyr
for
King
Charles
the
second
.
But
this
was
but
a
puny
victime
to
the
ensuing
Sacrifices
:
for
the
old
pretence
of
Justice
challenged
new
does
,
by
the
evidence
of
its
former
administration
,
which
would
have
been
thought
but
a
step
purposely
made
to
their
ambitious
Usurpation
,
if
other
blood
,
not
so
obnoxious
to
their
grand
designe
,
should
not
(
in
pursuance
of
their
declared
impartial
bringing
to
condigne
punishment
all
sorts
of
Delinquents
)
be
offered
up
to
their
Idol
of
Liberty
.
There
was
also
another
Reason
of
State
in
it
;
for
that
the
House
of
Lords
being
so
easily
laid
aside
,
it
was
requisite
while
the
first
violence
was
yet
recent
,
utterly
to
disanimate
the
Nobility
by
another
as
lawless
,
more
bloody
infringement
of
their
Priviledges
.
In
order
to
this
,
A
new
High
Court
of
Iustice
erected
.
a
new
High
Court
of
Iustice
was
Erected
,
by
an
Act
to
that
purpose
,
wherein
other
Drudges
were
named
under
the
conduct
of
the
former
President
;
for
that
the
State-Grandees
could
not
themselves
intend
such
minute
matters
,
as
the
lives
of
the
Peerage
.
Before
this
Tribunal
were
brought
(
as
in
the
said
Act
were
named
)
Iames
Duke
Hamilton
as
Earl
of
Cambridge
,
and
Naturalized
thereby
in
this
Kingdom
,
Henry
Rich
Earl
of
Holland
,
George
Lord
Goring
then
Earl
of
Norwich
,
Arthur
Lord
Capel
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Owen
of
North-Wales
.
Duke
Hamilton
was
the
first
of
those
that
came
to
this
Bar
,
Duke
Hamilton
,
Earl
of
Holland
,
Lor●
Capel
,
Tr●ed
by
the
High
Court
of
Iusti●●
.
where
he
was
sooth●d
by
Bradshaw
according
to
instruction
,
in
hopes
he
would
be
won
to
discover
his
partakers
in
the
late
Parliament
and
City
;
and
Peters
to
that
purpose
gave
evidence
that
Lambert
gave
him
quarter
,
when
Colonel
Wait
(
who
took
him
)
denied
it
to
the
House
:
but
when
the
Court
perceived
he
was
not
so
free
therein
,
offering
in
lieu
of
such
Treachery
100000
l.
for
his
life
,
and
promising
to
joyn
interests
with
Arguile
in
Scotland
;
Bradshaw
took
him
up
short
,
and
for
all
his
plea
of
quarter
,
and
to
what
he
further
●rged
against
his
Naturalization
,
(
that
he
himself
was
never
Naturalized
,
but
that
it
was
his
Father
,
whose
right
devolved
no
more
to
him
by
the
Civil
Law
,
than
the
same
Franchise
doth
to
Children
in
other
Countries
)
hastily
was
answered
,
that
in
the
15
year
of
King
Charles
,
he
was
called
to
Parliament
by
Writ
as
Earl
of
Cambridge
.
They
objected
against
him
also
his
breach
of
Faith
passed
to
the
Governour
of
Windsor
for
his
true
Imprisonment
,
from
whence
he
had
escaped
,
and
was
retaken
in
Southwark
;
which
breach
he
denied
,
and
challenged
the
Governour
of
untruth
in
that
particular
.
After
much
delay
,
which
he
obtained
in
hopes
of
a
discovery
,
and
several
arguments
of
his
Counsel
assigned
for
him
,
Bradshaw
at
last
snapt
him
up
,
telling
him
of
his
Treasons
and
Murthers
,
and
gave
final
Sentence
.
The
Lord
Capel
'
s
legal
Defences
.
The
Lord
Capel
likewise
after
several
brave
legal
Defences
,
as
his
Peerage
,
&c.
and
his
plea
of
quarter
given
by
Fairfax
,
who
in
open
Court
construed
that
quarter
to
be
but
a
present
saving
from
the
promiscuous
slaughter
,
with
a
reference
still
to
a
Judicial
proceeding
,
was
over-ruled
;
they
urged
also
against
him
,
his
escape
out
of
the
Tower
,
which
he
proved
to
amount
to
no
more
(
at
the
most
of
it
in
any
other
case
)
than
a
bare
Felony
,
and
within
the
benefit
of
the
Clergy
.
His
resumed
argument
(
when
all
would
not
do
)
was
the
Honour
of
the
Sword
,
which
seeing
how
little
those
(
that
should
have
justly
asserted
it
)
did
value
,
he
resolved
to
trouble
himself
no
longer
at
their
Bar
;
but
being
demanded
what
he
could
say
more
for
himself
,
replied
nothing
;
but
with
a
chearful
resignation
of
himself
to
providence
,
expected
his
Doom
,
then
impending
over
him
.
The
Earl
of
Holland
came
not
to
their
Bar
while
they
had
finished
with
the
other
Lords
,
by
reason
of
his
indisposition
which
delayed
him
at
Warwick-Castle
;
but
such
was
their
impatient
pretensions
to
Justice
,
that
they
got
him
conveyed
to
their
High
Court
,
and
as
they
had
done
by
the
rest
,
over-ruled
his
plea
(
which
he
argued
in
much
weakness
,
taking
a
spoonful
of
some
Cordial
every
foot
between
his
words
)
of
quarter
given
,
and
concluded
him
in
the
same
Sentence
.
The
Lord
Goring
so
artificially
and
wisely
pleaded
to
them
in
Form
,
The
Lord
Goring
and
Sir
John
Owen
reprieved
.
Not
Guilty
,
and
withal
insisted
upon
his
Commission
and
Authority
,
and
harmlesness
therein
,
that
he
escaped
the
Execution
of
the
like
Condemnation
;
as
also
did
Sir
Iohn
Owen
,
who
with
a
Britain
confidence
denied
every
tittle
of
the
Charge
against
him
;
especially
that
part
relating
to
the
death
or
Master
Loyd
the
Sheriff
of
Cardigan
,
and
came
off
with
the
same
danger
,
and
the
like
success
as
the
Lord
preceding
,
whose
Fate
being
referred
to
the
Parliament
,
proved
fortunate
but
by
the
decision
of
one
Vote
,
24
to
24
being
divided
in
the
question
of
his
life
;
and
as
I
Remember
,
it
was
the
saving
double
voice
of
Lenthall
the
Speaker
;
Sir
Iohn
Owen
was
carried
more
affirmatively
;
the
rest
all
in
the
Negative
,
being
turned
off
with
their
Ladies
and
their
Relations
Petitions
,
to
the
same
High
Court
,
who
to
shew
their
civility
more
than
their
mercy
,
were
pleased
to
gratifie
the
Ladies
with
a
respit
of
two
days
,
as
long
as
their
Commission
and
power
lasted
.
D●ke
Hamilton
,
E.
of
Holland
,
and
Lord
Capel
beheaded
,
Mar.
9.
On
the
9th
of
March
,
the
Duke
,
the
Earl
of
Holland
;
and
Lord
Capel
being
guarded
from
Saint
Iames's
to
Sir
Robert
Cottons
House
,
(
the
next
fatal
Stage
of
late
to
the
Scaffold
)
were
severally
brought
to
the
Palace-Yard
through
the
Hall
,
their
Judges
then
sitting
,
and
looking
fore-right
upon
their
Execution
.
The
Duke
ascended
first
;
and
to
give
him
his
due
,
he
kept
a
good
seeming
decorum
in
his
last
words
and
actions
.
The
Earl
of
Holland
succeeded
to
this
bloody
Theatre
,
who
very
Christianly
,
penitently
,
and
compassionately
enough
,
prepared
him
for
his
end
,
justifying
his
honest
intentions
in
that
his
first
and
last
action
for
the
King
,
and
intimating
that
Duty
we
all
owed
to
our
present
Soveraign
,
and
so
suffered
for
him
.
But
the
Lord
Capel
(
like
a
true
Christian
Heroe
)
as
he
came
last
,
so
did
he
sum
up
all
(
both
in
his
Speech
,
Countenance
,
and
Gestures
)
that
was
good
,
praise-worthy
,
and
generous
in
them
both
;
resolutely
asserting
his
own
actions
,
his
late
Soveraigns
Cause
,
and
his
present
Majesties
Rights
;
recommending
him
to
his
people
as
the
great
example
of
true
English
worth
,
and
as
the
onely
hope
of
the
Kingdom
.
So
as
with
Sampson
he
may
be
said
to
have
done
these
Philistins
more
harm
at
his
Death
than
in
all
his
Life
,
raising
and
renewing
the
desires
of
the
people
after
so
deserving
a
Prince
.
This
Tragedy
being
over
,
they
resume
afresh
the
debate
of
what
persons
were
yet
within
their
Clutches
,
Other
capital
Delinquents
in
nomination
.
As
Sir
John
Stowell
,
Iudge

Several
qualifications
of
Delinquents
to

.
T●e
chief
of
whom
were
,
the
Kings

,
the
D.

,
D.
of

,
Lord

,
Sir
Ed.

,
L●rd
Culpepe●
,
and
Lord
W●ddrington
.
any
way
obnoxious
to
their
Cannibal-Idol
of
Justice
,
who
could
not
be
pleased
but
with
whole
Hecatombs
:
and
therefore
the
Noble
Sir
Iohn
Stowel
and
Judge
Ienkins
,
those
Champions
of
Law
and
Loyalty
,
with
Captain
Brown
Bushell
,
were
next
ordered
to
be
put
in
that
fatal
List
of
Traytors
against
their
Commonwealth
:
the
Marquess
of
Winchester
,
and
Bishop
Wren
,
who
had
lain
prisoner
from
the
beginning
of
our
Troubles
,
hardly
escaping
the
like
dangerous
qualification
;
which
was
upon
a
●orged
information
intended
likewise
against
Major-General
Brown
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Clotworthy
;
and
to
that
purpose
the
Case
of
all
those
secluded
(
and
thereafter
imprisoned
)
Members
was
ordered
to
a
Committee
,
to
make
a
discrimination
of
their
offences
,
and
render
those
two
the
most
liable
to
their
severity
.
As
for
those
who
had
escaped
their
hands
by
departing
the
Kingdom
,
they
satisfied
their
indignation
,
by
a
decree
of
perpetual
Banishment
,
and
present
death
upon
the
return
of
any
so
sentenced
.
The
chief
of
these
,
besides
the
Kings
Majesty
,
whom
God
long
preserve
,
and
the
Duke
of
York
,
&c.
were
the
Earl
of
Bristol
,
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
the
Lord
Digby
▪
Lord
Cottington
,
Marquesses
of
Newcastle
and
Worcester
,
Sir
Edward
Hide
,
Lord
Culpeper
,
Lord
Widdrington
,
and
some
others
,
who
were
very
well
satisfied
they
could
do
no
more
to
them
,
and
were
then
following
●he
hopeful
fortunes
of
the
King
.
The
rest
of
that
unfortunate
party
were
put
to
Ransome
,
a
Fine
being
set
upon
their
Heads
,
proportionable
to
their
Estates
;
to
be
paid
within
such
times
,
or
else
to
be
in
the
same
predicament
with
the
condemned
.
Having
thus
made
good
their
Conspiracy
or
(
by
them
stiled
)
Agreement
,
of
bringing
Delinquents
to
Justice
,
that
the
exactness
of
their
dire
performances
might
credit
th●ir
intentions
and
resolutions
,
and
make
them
seem
to
the
Vulgar
the
most
impartial
lovers
of
their
Lives
and
Liberties
;
(
but
rather
of
their
Estates
)
they
proceeded
in
the
political
part
of
Government
,
by
filling
up
their
Committee
of
Estates
to
the
number
of
41.
who
were
ordered
particularly
to
enter
their
Assent
to
whatsoever
the
Juncto
had
done
in
reference
to
the
King
and
Lords
,
before
they
should
act
in
that
Committee
;
and
Cromwel
thereupon
reported
to
the
House
,
being
impowered
by
them
,
that
of
that
just
number
,
22
had
refused
to
engage
,
as
to
what
was
past
;
but
would
joyn
with
them
for
the
future
,
and
acknowledge
the
Supreme
Power
to
be

There
could
no
expedient
be
found
to
salve
this
sore
;
so
they
were
contented
to
cicatrize
it
,
and
gently
lay
aside
all
disputes
,
or
further
contrasts
about
it
:
but
though
they
past
it
without
doors
,
they
would
not
so
within
,
but
totally
precluded
any
further
pretences
of
the
Members
of
taking
their
places
in
Parliament

Secluded
Members

Excluded

in

numbers
returned

That

5
of

was
never

Lord
Mayor

Court
of
Aldermen
,
and
to
make
the
Government
of
London
à

Democratical
,
they
ordered
a
Quorum
of
the
Common-Council
to
act
without
the
Lord
Mayor

the
said
Aldermen
,
if
they
should
refuse
to

not
long
after
,
to
put
another
affront
(
though
distant
some
space
of
time

being
the
24
of
March

upon
the

Alderman

was
Elected
in
his
place

for
whose
choice
at
his
presentment
for
their
approbation
,
the
House
gave
the
City
thanks

ordered
the
Barons

him
in
these
words
,
That
he
should
be
faithful
to
the
Commonwealth
(
as
it
was
now
established
)
in
the
Government
of
the
City

where
he
in

Proclaimed
the
said
Act
,
though
the
people
hooted
and
reviled
it
,
and
cryed
aloud
,

from

were
likewise
degraded
from
their
Dignity

Alderman
Culham

excused
themselves

A●
Exeter

,
the

refused
to

joyn
in
Commission
with
Baron
Wilde
,
sent
down
that
Circuit
;
and
divers
other
places
were
very
stiff
in
complyance
with
these
new
Masters
:
but
their
Iron
Bodies
quickly
brought
them
to
perform
those
new
Instructions
the
Parliament
had
given
for
altering
the
Patents
and
the
Oaths
of
Sheriffs
,
as
in
all
Indictments
,
a
little
before
,
instead
of
Contra

they
had
ordered

To
compleat
the
Martyrology
of
those
that
fell
with
,
and
accompanied
their
Soveraign
,
Col.
Poyer
Executed
April
,
25.
Col.
Laughorn
and
Col.
Powel
condemned
.
Colonel
Laug●orn
,
Colonel
Powel
,
and
Colonel
Poyer
,
were
now
brought
before
a
Court
Martial
,
for
the
Welch
Insurrection
at
Saint
Fagons
and
Pembroke
,
where
they
were
all
three
Condemned
:
but
at
the
importunity
of
their
Wives
and
Friends
,
the
General
was
pleased
to
exempt
two
of
them
,
such
as
the
Lot
should
spare
;
which
being
delivered
out
of
a
Hat
by
a
little
Child
,
fell
upon
Poyer
,
his
scroll
of
Paper
being
a
Blank
,
the
other
ha●ing
written
in
it
,
Life
given
by
the
Lord
.
Accordingly
Poyer
was
Executed
in
Co●ent-garden
against
Bedford-House-wall
,
on
the
25
of
April
,
where
he
died
in
some
reluctancy
,
but
ought
nevertheless
to
be
numbred
with
other
Loyal
Sacrifices
,
from
whom
therefore
I
could
not
,
though
against
order
of
time
,
disjoyn
him
:
Nor
indeed
is
the
thred
of
this
Chronicle
possible
to
keep
straight
,
in
such
a
diversity
and
multitude
of
transcurrencies
,
which
weave
it
up
and
down
in
the
various
confusions
of
this
new-fashioned
State
;
but
we
shall
now
proceed
more
regularly
:
Our
Lords
a
Westminster
having
lickt
their
Cub
into
some
form
,
and
shewed
us
a
glimpse
of
its
Complexion
,
and
how
like
it
was
to
its
monstrous
Parent
(
a
Rebellion
)
in
the
shapes
ensuing
.
Yet
first
we
must
Northward
in
our
way
to
Scotland
,
Pomfret-Castle
delivered
,
Mar.
24
,
to
Maj.
Gen.
Lambert
.
and
behold
Pomfret-Castle
,
that
had
held
out
9
Months
,
now
delivered
(
after
much
debate
)
to
Major-General
Lambert
,
with
this
condition
,
That
Colonel
Morris
the
Governour
,
and
five
more
,
should
be
exempted
from
Mercy
;
but
if
they
could
escape
any
way
,
they
might
attempt
it
betwixt
the
Agreement
and
the
Surrender
;
the
Article
to
stand
force
otherwise
to
all
purposes
.
These
six-divided
themselves
into
two
parties
,
wher●of
Morris
,
Cornet
Blackburn
,
and
another
,
broke
quite
through
the
Leaguer
,
but
the
other
three
were
taken
;
the
rest
of
the
Garrison
had
liberty
to
go
home
,
leaving
two
Months
Provision
,
and
some
Ammunition
behind
them
.
Lambert
was
the
willinger
to
give
these
terms
,
for
the
easing
of
the
Country
,
which
by
reason
of
an
Armies
lying
before
it
so
long
,
was
wasted
and
exhausted
of
all
provisions
;
who
to
avoid
the
like
future
inconveniencies
,
sollicited
and
procured
the
Demolition
of
that
Castle
,
which
from
the
Grave
of
Richard
the
second
,
became
now
the
Sepulcher
of
departed
Layalty
,
whose
last
efforts
Expired
here
,
as
became
the
repository
of
a
Princes
Ashes
,
and
his
Royal
Manes
.
There
is
something
to
be
said
in
this
place
,
concerning
the
seizing
of
Lieutenant-Colonel
Iohn
Lilburn
,
John
Lilburn
,
and
some
of
his
party
secured
.
Master
Walwyn
,
Master
Prince
,
and
others
of
the
Levelling
Faction
,
which
began
now
to
shew
it self
in
the
same
rise
and
danger
to
the
Independent
Faction
,
as
that
did
to
the
Presbyterian
;
but
we
will
take
that
story
all
together
:
upon
which
account
we
refer
the
Reader
likewise
as
to
the
sale
of
the
Kings
Goods
,
Moveables
,
and
Houshouldstuff
,
now
condemned
there
,
to
a
more
exact
account
in
the
year
following

the

of

ensuing

to

the

This
being
over

the
Estates
sent
an
expostulatory
Letter
to
their
former
Brethren
at
Westminster
,
concerning
their
proceedings
with

King

were
in

Letters
flattered
with
the
cajole
of
good
amity

friendship

other
fineries
from
those
Regicides

with
many
other
flams

tampers
with

But
the
passion
of
the
Scot
,
as
seeing
how
his
Countries
Honour
had
been
lost
by
the
same
Trayterous
proffers
,
boiled
too
high
,
and
would
give
no
ear
to
such
overtures
,
nor
would
they
enter
into
any
Treaty

them

nor
own
them

what
they
had
done
,
and
were
preparing
to
do
;
when
on
a
sudden
some
of
the
Mackenzeys
,
a
great
Sept
in
the
North
of
Scotland
,
and
the
Lord
Freezer's
Brother
,
seized
Innerness
for
the
King
,
and
put
them
into
perpleased
Counsels
about
it
:
Innerness
seized
for
the
King
.
The
news
whereof
those
at
Westminster
thought
a
good
occa●ion
for
them
to
lay
hold
upon
in
order
to
a
rupture
with
their
King
;
and
when
that
distemper
came
to
the
Head
(
some
of
the
Gourdens

Marquess

Huntly

had
made
an
escape
from
Barwick
into

parts

the
Lord
Rea

they
failed
not
of
doing
their
devoir
,
by
offering
their
assistance
,
and
ince●sin●
the
Scots
against
the
King

whose
sole

they
said
all
those

fomented

that

ended

again
reduced

The
Commissioners
in
the
mean
while
were
dispatched
to
the
King
,
being
one
Earl
,
one
Lord
,
one
Burgess

one
Minister
;
of
which
the

the

;

the
Earl

Glendonning

having
sent

Paper

withdrew
themselves
privately

worse

worse

turned
him
home
again
without
any
Answer

prepared
for
defence
,
intending
to
Levy
17000
Foot
,
and
6000
Horse
▪
as
expecting
the
return
of
their
Commissioners
,
who
landing
about
the
middle
of
the
Summer
,
though
they
brought
no
Confirmation
of
Agreement
,
yet
gave
certain
hopes
of
it
,
by
Treaty
presently
to
be
Commenced
;
the
King
offering
all
whatever
his
Father
had
promised
to
the
settlement
of
Presbytery
:
whereupon
the
Lord
Liberton
was
dispatcht
to
wait
on
the
King
,
Lord
〈…〉
now
intending
to
remove
from
the
Hague
through
Flanders
into
France
.
The
English
Army
next
comes
under
our
consideration
,
who
perceiving
this
Principle
of
the
Levellers
(
which
was
to
lay
all
things
in
Common
,
and
ma●●an
Hodgepodge
,
an
Ochlarchy
of
Government
)
was
very
taking
,
and
fl●w
high
in
their
speeches
,
and
was
higher
in
the
Noddle
of
the
covetous
Souldier
;
had
ordered
,
That
no
Souldiers
or
Officers
should
keep
any
private
Meetings
,
to
bege●
a
disturbance
in
the
Army
,
their
right
of
Petitioning
being
still
preserved
:
whereupon
several
Souldiers
were
seized
,
and
sentenced
to
ride
the
Wooden-horse
with
Papers
on
their
Heads
,
and
Cashiered
.
Lieutenant-Colonel
Lilburn
,
&c.
as
aforesaid
,
was
likewise
seized
,
for
a
Book
of
his
called
,
Englands
New
Chains
Discovered
,
which
was
the
bottome
and
foundation
of
the
Levellers
designe
;
and
one
Lockier
a
Trooper
,
for
promoting
of
the
like
Models
,
and
two
others
,
were
sentenced
by
a
Court-Martial
;
Lockier
the
Leveller
shot
to
death
in
Saint
Paul
's
Church-yard
.
and
Lockier
was
shot
to
death
accordingly
in
Saint
Paul's
Church-yard
,
and
most
sumptuously
,
and
in
great
state
,
a
Foot-man
leading
his
Horse
in
black
after
his
Herse
,
attended
by
thousands
with
black
and
Sea-green
Ribbons
,
all
of
his
party
,
and
some
men
of
note
and
Estates
,
carried
to
his
Grave
in
the
New
Church-yard
London
.
These
appearances
of
danger
from
the
same
party
,
whom
Cromwel
had
used
as
his
foot-step
to
his
designs
,
lookt
very
untowardly
upon
Him
and
the
Grandees
,
whom
this
deceived
people
were
ten
times
more
enraged
at
,
than
ever
against
the
King
.
For
the
prevention
therefore
of
this
evil
,
he
had
timely
bethought
himself
of
a
Remedy
,
the
transporting
of
these
Mutineers
and
Male-contents
under
any
Government
,
Eleven
Regiments
designed
by
Cromwel
for
the
Irish
service
.
to
the
service
of
Ireland
;
(
for
which
11
Regiments
,
besides
one
of
Dragoons
under
Colonel
Abbot
,
were
by
lot
designed
,
viz.
of
Horse
,
Iretons
,
Scroops
,
Hortons
,
and
Lamberts
;
of
Foot
,
Eures
,
Cooks
,
Hewsons
,
and
Deans
;
and
three
new
ones
,
viz.
Cromwels
,
Venables
,
and
Phayrs
)
their
combining
against
or
discouraging
one
another
whereto
,
he
had
ca●tioned
before
by
the
said
Order
:
but
that
proved
the
meer
crisis
of
that
disease
;
for
the
Army
being
generally
infected
and
bewitched
with
the
promises
Cromwel
himself
and
his
Agents
had
spread
abroad
(
in
order
to
the
bringing
about
the
death
of
the
King
)
of
sharing
the
Kingdom
among
them
,
could
not
endure
to
hear
of
fighting
in
another
Country
,
where
they
were
sure
of
hardships
and
more
desperate
service
,
and
leaving
their
sweets
(
they
had
already
swallowed
in
their
fancies
)
of
their
Conquest
here
.
There
was
one
Thompson
the
great
ringleader
of
them
,
a
Cornet
,
who
had
for
these
tricks
of
medling
with
Government
,
and
other
adjutating
pranks
,
and

condemned
at

Council
of
War
,
and
reprieved
.
This
fellow
now
with
two
Troops
of
Horse
enters
Northampton
,
and
emits
a
Declaration
,
shewing
the
Armies
resolution
of
not
going
for
Ireland
(
though
they
think
that
Expedition
in
time
fit
to
be
undertaken
)
till
those
main
ends
,
the
peoples
Liberty
,
for
which
the
Army
first
engaged
,
should
be
secured
:
and
generally
the
Army
was
of
this
leven
,
through
the
licentio●sness
and
intolerable
boldness
which
their
Antimonarchical
Leaders
had
trained
them
up
in
,
to
fit
them
to
their
purpose
.
The
first
formidable
eruption
of
it
was
at
Salisbury
,
where
Colonel
Scroop's
Regiment
of
Horse
laid
aside
their
Officers
,
Several
Regiments
confederate
in
the
same
designe
.
and
with
their
Colours
marched
thence
,
in
order
to
a
conjunction
with
Harrisons
,
Iretons
,
and
Skippous
Regiments
,
who
had
confederated
(
by
means
of
those
Adjutators
)
in
the
same
designe
:
which
affair
admitting
no
delay
,
Fairfax
and
Cromwel
with
his
own
Regiment
advanced
to
them
,
to
Bagshot
,
and
to
Alton
,
where
they
had
notice
that
they
were
marched
to
Abingdon
,
whither
(
after
a
tedious
march
of
fourty
miles
in
one
day
)
the
General
came
;
and
Cromwel
fell
presently
to
work
with
his
old
arts
of
Treachery
,
for
Harrison's
Regiment
was
hasting
to
the
Conjunction
.
His
first
finess
in
order
to
their
reducing
,
was
the
offer
of
a
Treaty
,
wherein
satisfaction
might
be
mutually
given
;
Cromwel
by
treachery
surprizeth
them
.
and
that
done
,
that
neither
party
should
come
within
ten
miles
of
one
another
:
whereupon
the
Levellers
marched
to
Burford
,
and
being
opposed
at
a
Pass
called
Newbridge
over
the
River
,
to
avoid
any
quarrel
,
and
hoping
the
Souldiery
there
would
no
doubt
joyn
with
them
upon
the
Treaty
,
passed
a
mile
lower
,
and
arriving
at
the
Town
,
relied
so
much
upon
the
Generals
and
Cromwels
engagements
,
that
most
of
them
had
put
their
Horses
to
Grass
,
leaving
a
Corps
de
guard
of
some
60
men
,
the
whole
party
making
in
all
900
men
,
consisting
of
12
entire
Troops
,
reputed
the
best
in
the
Army
,
and
whose
defeat
would
have
cost
many
men
lives
,
if
the
Army
would
have
stood
against
them
.
But
to
save
that
difficulty
,
while
those
secure
Troops
were
resting
themselves
,
and

Horses

were
saluted
with
a

couragiously
defending
himself
,
he
was
killed
by
Carbine-shot

he

from
thence

which
was
so
well
liked
,
that
they
ordered

should
be
made
after
that
pattern

But
that
which
they
did
most
like

,
was
giving
and
bounteously
bestowing

Great
givers
must
be
great
receivers

therefore
,
besides
their
former
Act
of
selling
the
Kings
Houshold-goods
(
which
was
pretended
to
satisfie
his
Debts
,
but
such
Creditors
as
ventured
upon
them
,
found
them
dear
pennyworths
,
not
onely
in
conclusion
,
but
for
the
present
,
being
rated
and
prized
so
unreasonably
,
that
100
l.
in
goods
would
not
yield
above
ten
in
money
)
There
came
out
an
Act
for
the
sale
of
Deans
and
Chapters
Lands
,
Several
Acts
to
raise
money
.
the
product
whereof
(
though
encumbred
with
Debentures
)
amounted
to
a
clear
account
of
incredible
sums
;
and
another
for
the
sale
of
the
Mannors
,
Houses
,
Lands
,
and
Forrests
of
the
King
,
Queen
,
or
Prince
:
but
White-hall
(
for
that
it
was
the
residence
of
my
Lords
the
Committee
of
Estates
)
Saint
Iames's
and
Windsor-Castle
were
by
them
excepted
;
and
Cromwel
for
a
pleasant
retreat
for
his
future
greatness
,
saved
Hampton-Court
and
Greenwich
;
and
the
French-Church
,
having
obtained
the
use
of
the
Chappel
of
Somerset-house
,
rescued
that
likewise
from
sale
,
because
the
Purchasers
could
not
build
upon
the
ground
with
any
conveniencie
,
if
that
were
not
demolished
.
But
the
grand
money-making
Act
,
the
very
Mint
of
their
Commonwealth
,
was
an
Act
of
the
7th
of
April
,
for
90000
l.
a
Month
,
which
rose
higher
afterwards
,
though
in
the
middle
of
the
War
it
was
never
more
than
56000
,
and
there
were
three
Armies
in
pay
;
but
it
seems
the
good
Husbands
had
accounted
,
and
then
published
it
,
that
the
Monthly
charge
was
160000
pound
,
and
that
the
standing
force
amounted
to
40000
men
in
England
and
Ireland
.
Several
Castles
demolished
.
About
this
time
several
Inland
Castles
were
demolished
,
as
Winchester
,
Lancaster
,
Belvoir
,
Nottingham
,
&c.
and
some
reparations
made
to
the
several
Proprietors
.
It
will
be
requisite
now
to
enquire
what
and
how
the
King
doth
,
A
short
account
of
the
King
at
the
Hague
.
since
we
left
him
at
the
Hague
,
while
his
Rebels
rant
it
away
in
such
ample
manner
,
and
carry
all
before
them
.
'T
is
true
,
he
wanted
not
a
Kingdom
,
being
lookt
upon
by
the
people
of
those
Vnited
Provinces
with
the
same
respect
as
if
he
were
their
Soveraign
,
nor
did
they
●ail
of
giving
manifest
demonstration
thereof
.
His
Fathers
Death
was
with
all
State
Condoled
,
and
his
ascent
to
the
Throne
Gratulated
,
and
that
moreover
both
by
the
Swedish
and
Danish
Embassadors
,
then
resident
at
that
Court
;
especially
the
Prince
of
Aurange
by
his
respects
and
observance
,
obliged
all
persons
to
the
reverence
of
his
Person
,
as
if
no
such
misfortunes
had
befallen
him
;
nor
could
any
thing
but
a
vertuous
tempered
minde
(
amidst
such
caresses
and
Honours
)
been
sensible
of
so
sudden
,
so
dis-regarded
and
discountenanced
adversity
.
To
better
also
his
condition
as
to
his
Kingdoms
,
came
forth
several
defences
of
his
Authority
in
several
Treatises
,
especially
that
of
Salmasius
called
The
Royal
Defence
(

Thus
He
triumpht
by
the
Pen
,
and
great
were
the
expectations
of
his
like
success
by
the
Sword
,
Scotland
being
wholely

and
Ireland
v●ry
neer
reduced
to
the
same
obedience
;
the
affairs
of
both
which
Kingdoms
calling
him
away
,
He
resolved
to
depart
from
this
His
long-continued
abode
,
and
after
mature
consultations
with
the
Princes
His
Allyes
,
and
His
neerer
Relations
,
His
disconsolate
Mother
then
in
France
,
to
determine
to
which
Realm
He
should
first
betake
Him
:
but
before
His
departure
,
fell
out
this
remarkable
passage
at
His
Court
at
the
Hague
.
One
Doctor
Dorislaus
a
Dutch-man
and
School-Master
that
fled
his
Country
,
and
here
became
a
Civilian
,
then
pertainer
to
the
University
of
Oxford
,
and
a
Professor
there
,
but
disappointed
of
his
ambitious
expectations
,
in
the
beginning
of
the
War
became
the
Parliaments
Judge-Advocate
in
their
Army
,
and
at
the
expiration
thereof
,
by
his
acquaintance
with
Sir
Henry
Mildmay
,
a
great
Enemy
to
(
though
raised
by
)
the
King
(
at
whose
House
in
Essex
,
he
ordinarily
played
at
Cards
on
Sundays
)
was
promoted
to
the
Employment
of
drawing
up
that
Charge
against
the
King
;
and
the
rather
,
for
that
no
Englishman
durst
finde
or
make
a
way
to
that
illegal
and
unprecedented
business
.
After
that
perpetration
,
he
was
thought
the
onely
fit
man
to
be
sent
over
as
an
Envoy
to
his
Country-men
,
to
prosecute
the
designs
of
that
Fact
;
which
would
look
the
handsomer
to
them
,
by
this
their
Subjects
hand
in
it
(
though
he
durst
not
have
app●ard
there
but
in
the
quality
of
a
Forrain
Minister

He
arrived
there
in
May
,
and

first
night

as
he
was
at

there
,
one
Colonel
Whitford
a
Scotch-man
(
then
attending

with
some
twelve

affront
done
to

having
done
the

quietly
departed
:

the

pretended
a
Hue

,
yet
the
people
were
generally
well
satisfied
,
and
applauded
the
Execution
;
but
our
States
here
were
outragiously
mad
,
and
published
a
Paper
,
wherein
they
imputed
this
Fact
to
the
Royalists

and
upon
the
next
occasion
threatned
to
retaliate

promised
fair

had
had
several

yet
did
the
Popish
and

under
General
O

,
very
much
perplex
the
hopes
of
these
Affairs
.
For
this
Nuntio

had
Excommunicated
the
Confederates
,
which
consisted
of
most
of
the
old
English
Papists
,
and
some
Irish

wisely
foresaw
their
further
obstinacy

made

to

and
the
other
very
patiently
(
for
a

absented
himself
from

In
the
time

this
was
in

corrupted

positively
declined

as
appears
by

having
at

waved
all
things

more
than
what
was
granted
in

insists
finally
upon
the

,

with
those
other
conditions
that
since
were
granted

will
permit
his
Excellency
to
allow
him
no
more
but
4000
Foot

;
which
number
they
obstinately
refused
to
exceed
,
denying
him
also
several
other
of
his
l●●s●r
demands
:
whereupon
O
Neal
seeing
them
willing
to
leave
him
quite
out
,
or
to
have
him
come
in
upon
such
terms
as
he
judged
inconsiderable
(
they
peradventure
thinking
themselvs
able
to
do
the
work
without
him

makes
present
application
unto

either
to
be
revenged

great

denying

were
content

intrust

the
rest
concurring

the
rather
,
because
he
knew
that
by
his
standing
out

that
accursed
quarrel
between
the
Kings
and

(
not

of

ill

the

,
and

great
Cities
were
animated
to
refuse

,
to
deny
the
payment
of
impositions
,
and
to
disrespect

the
Lord-Lieutenant
and
the
Commissioners
:
yet
was
it
not
in
his
power
to
help
it
by
any
means
,
unless
he
would
have
broken
Conditions
with
the
Confederates
,

no
consideration
of
any
advantage
(
how
great
soever
)
could
induce

to
do

plentifully

with

not

place

,
together
with

Garrisons

so
convenient
to

resolved
that

should
(
with

part
of

Army
)
Encamp
at

from
thence
to
awe

distress
the
Town

be
ready
to
countenance

within

of
Horse
,

,
endeavours

All
this

his

found
great
wants

encounter
with

his

coming
in
so
slowly

disproportionably
to

necessities

Army
;

many

to
compose

temper
;
the

and
the
rest
of
the

Forces
murmuring
against
the
Liberty

Irish
had
there
in
the
exercise
of
their
Religion
,
and
the
Irish
again
repining
to
see
themselves
murmured
at
;
but
more
especialy
,
to
see
the
English
Munster-Forces
(
though
they
were
fewer
in
number

had

to
swallow
up
both
their
Pay
,
and
Provisions
also
;
which
though
the
rest
of
the
Army
did
Petition
against
,
his
Excellency
could
in
no
ways
remedy
,
being
constrained
to
humor
and
comply
with
that
party
,
as
being
a
people
so
ticklish
,
and
unsteady
,
that
if
disgusted
,
might
probably
either
side
with
Iones
,
or
retiring
to
their
own
Garrisons
,
compel
the
Army
to
withdraw
from
Dublin
,
by
declaring
themselves
for
the
Parliament
,
of
which
Grudge
slightly
hinted
before
.
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
,
Col.
Trevors
,
and
the
Lord
Moor
declare
for
the
King
.
Sir
Thomas
Armstronge
and
the
Lord
Moor
,
being
come
in
to
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
;
Colonel
Mark
Trevors
(
that
was
but
newly
declared
for
the
King
)
having
got
notice
of
a
choice
party
of
O
Neals
,
sent
to
Dundalke
,
to
convey
thence
such
Arms
and
Ammunition
as
Monke
had
undertaken
to
supply
him
withal
,
invited
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
to
intercept
them
,
who
came
so
opportunely
thither
,
that
he
gained
O
Neals
supply
of
Ammunition
,
with
the
utter
de●eat
of
his
Party
;
whereupon
,
soon
after
the
gaining
of
Drogheda
,
which
ensued
immediately
upon
O
Neales
defeat
,
O
Neal
defeated
,
Drogheda
taken
,
Dundalke
surrendred
to
the
King
.
Dundalke
it self
being
summoned
,
the
Souldiers
compelled
Monke
to
a
Surrender
,
and
themselves
took
Arms
for
the
King
.
Immediately
after
this
defeat
of
his
Party
,
O
Neale
hastneth
towards
the
Relief
of
Derry
,
which
was
the
onely
Town
in
that
Province
untaken
,
all
the
rest
being
already
reduced
by
the
Lord
of
Ards
,
Sir
George
Monr●
,
and
Colonel
Trevors
,
who
were
now
hindered
onely
by
O
Neales
Army
and
the
Siege
of
Derry
,
from
bringing
up
a
considerable
Body
of
Horse
and
Foot
to
the
Leaguer
of
Dublin
.
Where
may
be
observed
how
great
a
prejudice
the
Faction
of
those
men
(
who
desiring
out
of
animosities
and
ends
of
their
own
,
to
stave
off
O
Neal
and
his
party
from
the
benefit
of
the
Peace
,
stood
chaffering
with
him
about
his
Command
of
4000
,
or
6000
men
,
and
other
trifles
)
have
done
to
the
Kings
service
,
and
to
the
whole
Kingdom
,
in
depriving
themselves
thereby
,
not
onely
of
the
forementioned
assistance
of
the
Scots
,
but
also
of
the
possession
of
London-Derry
,
together
with
so
considerable
an
addition
of
Forces
,
as
O
Neal
could
then
have
brought
;
whereby
not
onely
the
whole
Province
of
Vlster
would
have
been
secured
to
the
King
;
but
Dublin
it self
either
reduced
,
or
so
strongly
surrounded
,
that
it
would
have
been
impossible
,
either
for
Iones
to
relieve
himself
,
or
Cromwel
to
invade
the
Kingdom
:
Which
,
notwithstanding
all
these
forementioned
disadvantages
,
was
upon
the
matter
,
even
gained
already
,
and
would
have
been
entirely
,
without
any
manner
of
question
,
if
it
had
fortuned
that
His
Majesty
had
seasonably
come
thither
himself
in
Person
,
which
by
all
parties
was
desired
with
infinite
passion
;
but
especially
by
those
whose
prudence
made
them
best
able
to
Judge
,
how
effectual
his
presence
would
be
,
His
Maj●sties
Presence
most
necessary
and
most
desired
in
Ireland
.
not
onely
for
the
animating
of
his
own
Loyal
Party
;
but
also
suppressing
of
all
Factious
humours
,
and
uniting
all
Interests
chearfully
and
unanimously
to
go
on
against
the
common
Enemy
:
which
must
soon
have
put
a
period
to
that
War
,
and
made
his
Authority
absolute
in
that
Kingdom
,
without
dispute
;
for
as
upon
his
arrival
His
Majesty
should
have
found
Munster
entirely
in
the
Irish
and
the
Lord
In●hiqueens
possession
,
Vlster
all
reduced
,
but
the
Fort
of
Culmore
and
Derry
into
the
Hands
of
the
Scots
;
Connaght
by
the
Marquess
of
Clanricards
fortunate
gaining
the
strong
Fort
of
Slego
(
with
what
else
the
Enemy
had
then
remaining
in
that
Province
)
wholly
cleared
:
In
Leinster
,
nothing
left
for
Rebellion
to
nestle
in
,
but
Dublin
and
Ballisannon
;
both
which
were
so
well
attended
upon
,
that
the
Defendants
had
but
little
pleasure
to
air
themselves
without
the
circuit
of
their
Works
:
so
by
his
coming
he
would
undoubtedly
have
diverted
Owen
O
Neal
(
who
would
immediately
have
submitted
unto
the
person
of
the
King
)
from
relieving
London-Derry
,
and
thereby
have
secured
both
that
Town
and
Province
,
with
Dublin
also
,
as
it
is
thought
:
for
they
that
had
reason
to
know
Iones's
minde
,
apprehended
that
his
leaving
the
Kings
party
did
proceed
from
a
Pique
,
●●●her
against
the
Lord-Lieutenant
or
Sir
Robert
Byron
,
about
a
Lieutenant-Colonels
place
,
which
was
conferr'd
over
his
head
upon
another
;
and
that
then
the
Scene
being
altered
in
England
,
and
his
old
Friends
out
of
Authority
there
,
his
new
terms
with
the
Independents
also
yet
unmade
,
he
himself
would
come
over
,
if
the
King
had
been
there
in
person
;
or
if
not
,
yet
his
Party
would
have
all
deserted
him
,
and
the
work
have
been
done
one
way
or
other
;
that
Kingdom
wholly
reduced
without
a
blow
,
all
Factions
(
as
I
said
before
)
extinguisht
;
and
his
Majesty
had
had
an
Army
of
above
20000
men
,
to
have
employed
where
he
pleased
.
After
the
taking
in
of
Trim
(
which
followed
soon
upon
the
surrender
of
Dundalke
)
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
brings
up
his
Forces
(
now
much
improved
in
number
)
to
the
Army
before
Dublin
;
whereupon
his
Exellency
leaving
a
part
of
his
Army
at
Castleknock
,
under
the
command
of
the
Lord
Dillon
of
Costelo
(
a
person
of
much
Gallantry
)
to
keep
them
in
on
that
side
the
Water
;
removes
his
Camp
to
the
other
side
the
Town
,
to
distress
the
Enemy
that
way
also
:
Which
,
whilst
they
are
endeavouring
to
do
(
upon
intelligence
that
Cromwel
was
ready
with
an
Army
to
Embark
himself
for
Ireland
,
and
that
he
intended
to
land
in
Munster
)
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
thought
if
fit
,
that
he
should
with
a
good
party
of
Horse
go
down
into
those
parts
,
to
secure
his
Garrisons
and
provide
for
the
worst
.
His
Lordship
was
no
sooner
gone
,
The
Siege
of
Dublin
by
the
Kings
Forces
;
Aug.
but
the
Lord-Lieutenant
designing
to
shut
up
the
Enemy
within
his
Works
,
and
quite
impede
as
well
their
getting
in
Hay
,
as
the
Grasing
of
their
Cattel
without
their
Line
;
gave
order
to
Patrick
Purcell
,
Major-General
of
the
Irish
Foot
,
to
march
with
a
sufficient
Party
of
men
and
an
Engineer
to
Baggot-Rath
,
there
to
possess
himself
of
that
place
immediately
,
and
cast
up
such
a
Work
as
had
been
already
designed
:
Sir
Wiliam
Vaughan
Commissary-General
of
the
Horse
,
had
order
likewise
to
draw
together
most
part
of
the
Troops
that
were
on
that
side
the
Water
,
and
to
keep
them
in
a
Body
upon
a
large
plowed
Field
looking
towards
the
Castle
of
Dublin
,
there
to
countenance
the
Foot
while
the
Works
were
finishing
,
and
to
secure
them
in
case
the
Enemy
(
out
of
the
Town
)
should
attempt
to
interrupt
them
.
These
were
the
Orders
given
,
but
not
executed
:
for
notwithstanding
it
did
not
much
exceed
a
mile
whither
the
Foot
were
to
go
,
yet
through
the
ignorance
or
negligence
of
the
Officers
that
were
to
conduct
them
,
many
hours
were
spent
ere
they
came
at
the
place
:
whither
when
they
were
come
,
they
found
the
Work
so
wretchlesly
advanced
by
Master
Welsh
the
Engineer
,
and
(
to
help
all
)
themselves
kept
such
negligent
Guards
,
that
many
judged
it
was
done
on
purpose
;
and
that
these
neglects
proceeded
from
those
lurking
seeds
of
discord
between
the
Kings
and
the
Nuntio's
Parties
:
For
it
is
certain
,
that
about
that
time
,
upon
an
apprehension
that
things
went
on
too
prosperously
with
the
Lord
Lieutenant
,
there
were
Letters
written
to
Owen
O
Neal
about
broaching
a
New
War
,
in
case
Dublin
had
been
taken
.
Whatever
the
grounds
of
these
failings
were
,
the
Enemy
never
stood
to
examine
,
but
being
troubled
to
see
a
Fort
designing
there
,
(
where
,
with
so
much
ease
they
might
not
onely
be
kept
from
all
Forrage
and
succour
by
Land
,
but
intercourse
with
the
Sea
also
)
and
perceiving
the
posture
they
were
in
,
destitute
of
Horse
to
Guard
them
,
resolved
upon
a
desperate
Sally
to
disturb
this
Work
,
which
they
happened
to
make
about
eight
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
,
when
his
Excellency
who
had
been
on
horse-back
most
part
of
the
night
(
as
his
constant
custom
was
since
his
coming
neer
Dublin
)
was
newly
laid
him
down
in
his
Tent
to
take
his
rest
,
however
the
Westminster-Scandals
of
those
days
did
asperse
him
.
The
Enemy
found
the
new
Fortification
so
slight
,
Dublin
Relieved
by
a
sally
the
Forces
of
the
Gairison
made
,
Aug.
22.
and
the
resistance
there
so
weak
,
that
they
soon
became
Masters
of
the
place
;
from
whence
seeing
the
Irish
fly
in
such
fright
and
disorder
(
contrary
to
their
first
intentions
)
they
pursued
them
up
to
the
Avenues
of
their
Camp
,
where
finding
the
Souldiers
also
that
were
in
Guard
with
great
security
and
unconcernment
looking
on
,
they
laid
hold
on
the
advantage
,
Charging
briskly
in
,
and
in
a
trice
beat
them
off
their
Posts
;
which
if
they
had
defended
(
as
a
far
less
number
might
very
easily
have
done
)
the
Camp
being
no
way
accessible
towards
the
Town
(
excepting
by
those
few
Avenews
which
there
purposely
had
been
left
open
,
nay
some
of
them
thrown
open
(
contrary
to
orders
)
for
the
conveniency
of
the
Souldiers
)
they
could
possibly
have
run
no
hazard
.
But
these
Passes
being
thus
lost
and
abandoned
,
and
more
men
coming
out
of
the
Town
to
re-inforce
those
that
were
alr●ady
so
successful
,
the
whole
Army
(
in
the
greatest
t●rrour
and
confusion
that
might
be
)
falls
a
running
every
one
a
several
way
:
and
in
this
condition
were
all
things
brought
,
before
the
Lord
Taafe
,
then
General
of
the
Ordnance
,
had
awaked
the
Lord-Lieut●nant
,
who
presently
taking
Horse
,
together
with
the
Lord
Castlehaven
(
who
was
now
returned
back
to
his
Command
)
and
Colonel
Milo
Power
,
made
towards
the
Enemy
,
taking
all
such
along
with
them
,
as
they
could
either
by
force
or
fair
means
perswade
to
face
about
,
with
intention
to
beat
them
back
,
or
at
least
,
by
making
head
a
while
,
to
stop
their
progress
,
till
some
considerable
part
of
the
Army
could
be
Rail●●d
and
brought
up
again
to
oppose
them
:
But
by
that
time
they
came
neer
the
Enemy
,
their
followers
were
g●own
so
thin
▪
that
his
Excellency
(

was
fain
to
retire
at

,
and
s●ek
to

This
was

on

.
Thus
,
besides
the
slaughter
that
was
made
,
and
the
Prisoners
that
were
taken
,
one
of
which
,
was
the

The
total
plunder
of
the
Camp
,
with
all
the
Ar●il●ery
,
T●n●s
and
Baggage
fell
into
the
Enemies
hands
.
Most
of
the
Lord
Inchiqueens
Foot
,
that
at
first
made
some
resistance
,
seeing
the
day
lost
,
upon
this
disaster
changed
sides
,
and
revolted
to
the
Enemy
.
All
this
was
done
in
so
short
a
space
,
and
with
so
little
noise
,
that
the
Lord
Di●●on
,
and
the
res●
of
the
Forces
that
were
on
the
other
side
the
River
of
the
I●iffy
▪
knew
nothing
of
what
was
done
,
till
the
business
was
over
,
and
some
runaways
brought
him
word
of
it
;
the
Irish
making
such
hast
every
one
towards
his
home
,
and
with
such
distraction
,
that
it
was
impossible
for
the
Lord-Lieutenant
to
draw
any
Body
of
them
together
;
and
therefore
(
having
met
with
the
news
of
the
Surrender
of
Ballisannon
(
that
very
day
)
into
the
hands
of
his
Forces
that
lay
before
it

he
rested

night

B●ll●sannon

.
and
went
the
next
day
to
confer
with
the
Commissioners
of
Trust
and
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
at
Kilkenny
.
A
●ust
deploration
of
this
calamity
.
When
this
great
disaster
is
well
considered
,
scarce
any
other
●ound
reason
can
be
given
for
so
sad
a
misfortune
,
but
the
good
pleasure
of
Almighty
God
,
who
(
if
it
be
lawful
to
look
so
far
into
the
Judgements
of
Heaven
)
knowing
the
ill
int●ntions
and
designes
that
were
in
the
Hearts
of
many
,
both
of
the
Irish
and
English
there
,
in
case
Dublin
had
been
taken
,
saw
them
unworthy
of
that
Blessing
,
and
took
that
time
for
their
punishment
and
humiliation
;
not
onely
this
,
but
a
torrent
of
other
crosses
following
in
the
neck
one
upon
another
:
for
besides
this
mischance
before
Dublin
,
to
the
ruine
of
so
great
an
Army
,
about
which
same
time

to
the
immediate
loss
of
that
Province
,
and
the
future
scourge
of
his
own
followers
:
Not
long
before
likewise
the
Plague
was
brought
by
a
Ship
out
of
Spain
into
Galloway
,
The
Plagu●
in
the
Loyal
Provinces

and
besides
the
havock
it
made
in
that
Town
,
so
disperst
it self
over
all
the
Province
of
Connaught
,
that
the
Lord
Marquess
of
Clanrickard
being
deprived
,
through
the
Calamities
that
were
upon
that
Town
and
Country
both
of
Money
and
Means
to
march
withal
,
could
not
for
many
Months
draw
his
Army
together
,
either
to
act
any
thing
alone

or
joyn
with
any
other
,
for
fear
lest

made
such
spoil
while
they
were
asunder
,
should
Mow
them
down
now
when
they
were
all
together
.
This
rout
at
Dublin
,
the
Relief
of
Derry
,
and
the
Plague
,
might
be
thought
competent
afflictions
to
be
cast
upon
a
people
so
impoverished
,
and
a
Kingdom
so
wasted
b●fore
;
yet
this
sufficeth
not
,
there
are
heavier
losses
yet
to
follow
,
and
a
worse
Pestilence
to
land
shortly
at
Dublin
,
that
will
sweep
away
their
Men
and
Towns
together
.
But
here
you
may
justly
interrupt
me
,
and
say
,
that
though
it
must
be
confessed
,
that
whatsoever
befals
us
in
this
Vale
of
misery
is
to
be
attributed
to
the
Hand
of
Heaven
,
or
the
permission
at
least
of
the
Divine
Providence
(
into
the
Reasons
of
whose
secret
and
hidden
Counsels
our
weak
capacities
are
unable
to
search
)
yet
nevertheless
,
those
visible
causes
whereby
we
draw
misfortunes
upon
our selves
,
by
such
who
through
neglect
of
their
Duty
,
and
disobedience
to
their
Superiours
,
are
apparently
the
Authors
thereof
,
ought
not
to
pass
unpunished
;
and
therefore
you
see
no
reason
why
those
were
not
called
to
an
account
,
that
deserved
it
both
by
their
cowardise
,
and
so
shameful
omission
of
their
Duty
,
as
could
admit
of
no
excuse
.
But
when
you
shall
be
pleased
to
reflect
upon
what
I
said
before
,
The
Marq.
of
Ormond
not
able
to
punish
the
cowardise
and
treachery
of
the
Parties
.
that
the
Lord-Lieutenant
Commanded
this
Army
,
and
indeed
the
Kingdom
,
but
as
it
were
upon
courtesie
,
all
his
Authority
in
effect
consisting
in
the
awing
one
Faction
with
another
,
the
best
of
which
he
found
to
be
on
so
uncertain
and
unsetled
terms
,
that
you
will
I
doubt
not
when
you
reflect
upon
it
easily
grant
,
that
the
Lord-Lieutenant
could
not
in
prudence
do
an
act
that
was
likely
to
give
so
great
and
general
a
distast
,
as
indeed
to
have
proceeded
against
Major-General
Purcell
would
have
been
to
the
Confederates
,
amongst
whom
he
had
so
many
alliances
and
friends
:
and
the
running
away
of
the
rest
was
so
universal
a
fault
,
that
it
was
hard
to
discover
who
deserved
punishment
most
,
and
harder
to
find
a
Court
of
War
to
censure
them
.
During
this
short
residence
at
Kilkenny
,
The
Marq.
of
Ormond
recruits
his
Forces
.
his
Excellency
having
taken
Order
with
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
to
bring
up
what
Forces
he
could
possibly
make
,
and
with
the
Commissioners
,
for
the
recruiting
,
drawing
together
,
and
arming
their
dispersed
Forces
as
soon
as
could
be
,
to
the
end
they
might
be
sent
after
him
;
he
speeds
away
himself
(
in
the
Company
onely
of
20
or
30
Horse
)
towards
Trim
and
Drogheda
,
as
the
places
both
neerest
the
Enemies
attempts
,
and
likeliest
to
totter
back
,
if
not
secured
in
time
:
At
Tecroghan
(
a
House
of
Sir
Luke
Fitzgarretts
)
he
makes
a
stay
,
till
those
several
Bodies
that
he
then
expected
were
come
up
;
and
upon
notice
of
their
coming
removes
to
Trim
,
where
he
meets
with
news
of
Iones
his
being
before
Drogheda
,
who
soon
after
,
upon
intelligence
that
the
Lord-Lieutenant
was
at
Trim
,
and
supposing
his
Forces
to
be
greater
than
indeed
they
were
,
drew
off
in
the
night
,
and
returned
immediately
to
Dublin
.
The
next
day
his
Excellency
went
through
to
Drogheda
,
Drogheda
Garrisoned
with
the
flower
of
the
Army
.
where
a
party
of
the
Scotch
Horse
and
Foot
,
under
the
Command
of
the
Lord
of
Ards
and
the
Lord
Clanbrazill
came
up
unto
him
;
but
whilst
they
were
consulting
what
to
do
,
they
received
assurance
of
Cromwels
landing
with
very
considerable
Forces
:
Whereupon
concluding
that
Town
necessary
to
be
kept
,
to
entertain
the
Enemy
before
,
whilst
they
made
up
their
Army
,
as
they
hoped
to
do
very
considerable
,
and
soon
enough
to
come
to
the
Relief
of
the
place
;
of
which
if
they
should
fail
,
no
question
was
made
,
but
after
the
gaining
of
time
(
which
was
then
precious
)
they
in
the
Town
should
be
able
to
make
Honourable
Conditions
for
themselves
,
whilst
Cromwel
is
refreshing
his
own
men
in
Dublin
,
and
reducing
Iones's
:
There
is
put
into
Drogheda
a
Garrison
of
2500
Foot
,
and
300
Horse
,
Sir
Arthur
Aston
made
Governour
of
Drogheda
.
which
was
thought
sufficient
;
and
so
having
furnisht
it
with
Provisions
,
as
well
as
that
short
time
would
give
them
leave
,
his
Excellency
commits
the
charge
of
that
place
to
Sir
Arthur
Aston
,
as
a
person
whose
Experience
,
Courage
,
and
approved
Fidelity
,
did
worthily
deserve
the
highest
Trust.
These
things
thus
ordered
,
Col.
Daniel
O
Neal
Governour
of
Trim
,
dispatched
to
treat
with
Owen
O
Neal.
his
Excellency
returns
to
Trim
,
and
from
thence
he
dispatched
away
Colonel
Daniel
O
Neal
,
then
Governour
of
that
place
,
with
a
Commission
to
set
on
foot
the
Treaty
again
with
Owen
O
Neal
if
it
were
possible
,
and
to
endeavour
the
reducing
of
the
Vlster-Army
,
even
upon
any
conditions
;
a
person
esteemed
by
all
best
qualified
for
that
employment
,
as
well
in
regard
of
his
singular
ability
,
and
approved
Fidelity
to
the
King
,
as
for
the
great
Interest
he
was
supposed
to
have
in
his
Unkle
,
who
managed
the
business
with
that
dexterity
,
Sir
Richard
Barnwell
and
〈◊〉
Nicholas
Plunkett
sent
to
assist
him
,
and
conclude
an
Agreement
.
as
he
won
his
Unkle
to
hearken
again
unto
an
Agreement
:
whereupon
Sir
Richard
Barnewell
and
Sir
Nicholas
Plunkett
are
sent
after
,
to
make
an
absolute
conclusion
with
him
;
though
by
the
way
this
may
not
be
unworthy
of
observation
,
that
those
persons
who
were
formerly
most
opposite
to
this
Agreement
,
were
now
become
the
greatest
sticklers
to
promote
it
with
his
Excellency
,
being
grown
sensible
of
the
imminent
and
approaching
danger
that
now
threatned
them
.
Tecroghan
is
the
next
Stage
his
Excellency
removes
unto
:
here
he
makes
a
stand
,
as
being
the
most
●●portune
place
to
draw
his
Army
together
in
,
and
lying
most
convenient
(
after
that
was
done
)
to
Relieve
Drogheda
,
or
make
any
other
attempt
upon
the
Enemy
:
Where
,
besides
the
remains
of
the
Irish
Army
,
already
somewhat
recruited
,
there
joyned
unto
him
a
good
Regiment
of
the
Lord
Marquess
Clanrickards
of
above
1000
Foot
,
together
with
300
Horse
;
likewise
that
party
of
the
Scots
before
mentioned
,
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
and
Colonel
Trevors
,
together
with
what
Forces
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
could
bring
out
of
his
Precincts
:
these
being
got
together
,
and
daily
additions
being
still
expected
,
to
the
making
them
up
a
more
considerable
Body
than
they
were
at
Dubllin
;
the
Lord-Lieutenant
received
several
advices
from
Sir
Arthur
Aston
,
to
precipitate
nothing
;
Drogheda
besieged
by
Cromwel
.
for
he
doubted
not
of
finding
Cromwel
play
a
while
,
as
certainly
he
had
done
,
had
not
Colonel
Wall
's
Regiment
,
after
the
Enemy
had
been
twice
bravely
Repulsed
,
upon
the
unfortunate
loss
of
their
Colonel
in
the
third
Assault
,
being
so
happily
dismaid
,
as
to
listen
(
before
they
had
need
)
unto
the
Enemy
offering
them
Quarter
,
and
admitted
them
in
upon
these
Terms
;
thereby
betraying
both
themselves
and
all
their
Fellow-Souldiers
to
the
slaughter
.
For
Cromwel

Master
of

the

caused
his
Excellency
to
remove
his
Army
from
Castle-Iordan
,
down
towards
the
Counties
of
Wexford
and
Kilkenny
,
there
not
onely
to
lye
secure
till
General
O
Neal's
Army
came
up
unto
them
(
with
whom
now
at
last
,
he
having
been
rejected
by
the
Parliament
and
the
Commissioners
,
and
whipt
to
Reason
with
adversity
,
there
was
an
Agreement
made
,
and
he
submitted
to
the
Kings
Authority
)
but
also
ready
to
be
drawn
into
either
Wexford

Kilkenny

as
there
should
be
occasion
;
for
upon
one
of
those
places
,
after
the
Enemies
retreat
from
Drogheda
to
Dublin
,
it
was
concluded
they
would
tall

For
which
reason
,
his

but
they
(
affirming
they
were
able

defend
their
Town
themselves
)
would
never
be
brought
to
admit
of
one
,
till
the
Enemy
was
at
the
Walls
,
and
then
tumultuarily
Sir
Edmund
Butler
with
neer
1500
men
was
received
in
as
Governour
;
whom
to
re-inforce
,
after
the
Enemy
was
now
set
down
before
it
,
the
Lord-Lieutenant
comes
with
new
supplies
within
sight
of
the
Town
,
and
had
put
them
in
,
to
the
infallible
preservation
of
the
place
,
if
(
before
his
Excellencies
eyes
)
the
Town
had
not
been
given
up
into
the
hands
of
the
most
Cruel
and
Faithless
Enemy

This
new
Conjunction
with
Owen
O
Neal
,
and
so
great
an
accession
of
Forces
,
brings
the
Lord-Lieutenant
into
a
condition
not
onely
of
putting
a
stop
upon
Cromwels
hasty
progress
,
but
even
of
gaining
ground
upon
him
,
as
questionless
he
would
have
done
,
had
not
another
misfortune
greater
than
any
of
the
former
,
intervened
to
frustrate
all
:
which
was
this
,
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
having
(
as
I
said
before
)
conditioned
to
have
the
ordering
of
those
Garrisons
and
Forces
that
he
brought
in
with
him
to
the
Kings
Obedience
〈◊〉
wholly
to
himself
,
out
of
desire
(
as
is
believed
)
to
keep
himself
still
considerable
upon
a
bottome
of
his
own
,
would
never
hearken
unto
any
Proposition
of
admitting
a
proportion
of
Irish
into
any
of
his
Towns
,
Kingsale
onely
excepted
,
into
which
place
(
at
the
importunity
of
Prince
Rupert
)
he
at
last
admitted
some
:
Being
confident
that
the
English
Forces
under
his
Command
,
having
served
under
him
so
long
upon
several
scores
,
all
or
the
most
of
the
Officers
whereof
,
being
either
creatures
of
his
own
,
or
men
obliged
and
indeared
unto
him
upon
a
long
account
,
would
never
separate
themselves
from
his
Fortune
,
or
abandon
his
Service
.
But
his
Lordship
(
it
seems
)
took
wrong
measures
;
for
the
most
part
of
them
being
steered
wholly
be
self-Interest
,
and
knowing
the
way
already
how
for
advantage
to
serve
against
the
King
(
whose
business
they
saw
so
much
declining
,
that
no
more
was
likely
to
be
got
that
way
)
whilst
Cromwel
was
full
of
money
and
success
;
Conspired
together
how
to
possess
themselves
of

Lord
Inchiqueens
Person
,
Lord
Inchiqueen

Officers

together
with
the
Towns
under
his
Command
,
that
they
might
make
a
surrender
of
all
at
once
unto
the
Enemy
.

Command

that
were
quartered
there
,
imprisoned
and
disarmed
them
all
,
and
afterwards
stood
upon
their
Guard
.
Whilst
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
is
by
all
gentle
means
endeavouring
to
reclaim
back
this
Town
,
several
of
his
Officers
combine
to
seize
upon
him
(
then
lying
secure
at
Lieutenant-General
Barries
house
of
Castle
Lions
)
but
they
and
their
designe
being
discovered
to
his
Lordship
by
one
of
their
complices
,
were
so
far
prevented
,
They
are
discovered
and
taken
,
and
no
conditions
Released
.
as
to
be
seized
upon
all
themselves
.
Whereupon
the
Town
of
Youghall
seeing
Cromwel
yet
at
too
great
a
distance
,
and
the
time
of
his
coming
into
Munster
uncertain
,
offered
to
submit
,
upon
assurance
of
Indemnity
,
the
relief
of
the
Imprisoned
Officers
,
and
removal
of
the
Royalists
;
which
his
Lordship
either
wanting
the
means
to
compel
them
,
or
being
willing
with
kindness
and
fait
means
to
win
upon
them
,
and
keep
them
in
Order
,
Assented
unto
.
After
which
,
having
visited
his
Garrisons
,
and
believing
all
things
so
secure
,
as
not
to
require
either
his
stay
further
there
,
or
the
bringing
any
proportion
of
the
Irish
into
those
other
Towns
;
Cromwel
ba●●●ed
by
Colonel
Wogan
at
Duncannon
.
he
returns
unto
his
charge
in
the
Army
.
And
now
Cromwel
having
newly
received
an
affront
before
Duncannon
,
through
the
Courage
and
Gallantry
of
Wogan
,
with
those
English
Gentlemen
that
were
put
in
with
him
upon
that
occasion
,
was
retired
back
to
Rosse
,
there
(
under
the
Protection
of
the
Town
)
to
make
a
Floting-Bridge
over
the
River
,
to
the
end
,
that
by
having
a
passage
to
the
other
side
,
he
might
at
his
pleasure
,
either
compel
his
Excellency
to
divide
his
Army
to
attend
upon
his
motions
,
and
so
give
him
an
opportunity
of
setting
upon
one
part
or
other
of
it
;
or
at
least
,
if
it
kept
together
,
of
getting
a
passage
into
Munster
,
where
he
expected
to
finde
a
general
Revolt
of
those
Garrisons
under
the
Lord
Inchiqueens
Command
,
as
it
afterwards
happened
.
The
Lord
Taafe
was
sent
with
a
part
of
the
Army
to
hinder
the
work
;
but
what
through
want
of
Powder
(
and
indeed
all
sorts
of
Ammunition
)
which
was
now
grown
exceeding
scarce
,
extremity
of
soul
weather
,
distempers
amongst
his
men
,
and
other
ill
concurring
accidents
;
he
was
not
able
to
effect
it
.
The
Lord-Lieutenant
(
through
Cromwels
sudden
retreating
in
the
night
from
before
Duncannon
having
lost
the
opportunity
of
fighting
him
,
as
he
was
then
resolved
,
finding
his
Army
chearfully
desiring
the
occasion
)
had
nothing
left
him
now
to
do
,
but
wait
upon
the
Enemies
motion
,
and
endeavour
to
cut
off
his
Provisions
,
which
the
Country-people
(
allured
by
the
orderliness
of
his
Souldiers
,
who
had
money
to
pay
for
what
they
took
,
and
Command
it
seems
to
do
so
)
brought
them
in
as
fast
as
could
be
;
whilst
his
Excellency
having
no
money
to
pay
his
Army
,
nor
indeed
a
competence
of
Bread
to
give
them
,
was
constrained
to
let
them
take
their
sustenance
where
they
could
finde
it
.
Corke
,
Youhall
,
and
all
the
English
Towns
of
Munster
revolt
.
During
this
intermission
of
Action
,
Corke
,
Youghall
,
and
all
the
English
Towns
of
Munster
(
even
through
the
incitation
of
those
Officers
that
were
but
lately
released
)
being
openly
Revolted
,
and
the
Lord
Broghall
with
some
men
landed
in
those
parts
;
very
many
of
the
Lord
Inchiqueens
party
(
both
of
Horse
and
Foot
)
deserted
the
Lord-Lieutenant
,
and
ran
daily
over
to
the
Enemy
;
insomuch
,
that
both
the
Commanders
and
Souldiers
of
the
Irish
(
not
without
reason
)
grew
very
jealous
of
the
rest
that
remained
behind
,
fearing
that
if
ever
they
came
to
Engage
against
the
Enemy
,
they
would
turn
upon
them
,
and
betray
them
:
there
wanted
not
divers
also
(
though
doubtless
very
unjustly
)
that
extended
their
jealousies
unto
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
himself
,
Lord
Inchiqueen
suspected
,
accused
by
the
Marq.
of
Antrim
.
grounding
their
accusations
upon
his
Lordships
not
punishing
the
Conspirators
,
when
he
had
them
in
his
Power
,
upon
so
fair
a
warning
,
and
just
an
occasion
,
as
was
then
given
him
;
his
not
putting
Irish
into
his
Garrisons
;
upon
his
Wife
,
his
Family
,
Plate
,
and
Goods
being
sent
him
safely
out
of
Corke
into
the
Irish
Quarters
;
upon
his
not
consenting
to
the
dismounting
and
disarming
the
rest
of
his
men
,
when
some
of
the
Commissioners
prest
the
doing
of
it
;
upon
his
delivering
his
advice
in
Council
(
as
they
heard
)
for
his
Excellencies
coming
to
Conditions
with
Cromwel
,
and
making
this
an
Argument
for
it
,
That
his
men
would
fight
no
longer
;
and
lastly
,
upon
an
impertinent
accusation
without
Head
or
Tail
(
as
appeared
when
he
came
to
be
examined
in
the
business
)
brought
against
him
by
the
Marquess
of
Antrim
,
for
holding
correspondence
,
and
having
made
Conditions
underhand
with
the
Enemy
.
Upon
these
Foundations
,
and
such
as
these
,
did
many
of
the
Irish
represent
unto
the
Lord-Lieutenant
the
necessity
of
discharging
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
of
his
Command
,
and
securing
his
person
;
which
his
Excellency
being
more
tender
of
the
Kings
Honour
and
his
own
,
than
upon
bare
surmises
and
suspitions
to
deal
in
that
manner
with
a
person
that
had
but
lately
deserved
so
well
both
of
the
King
and
him
,
would
not
be
brought
unto
;
chusing
rather
to
run
any
adventure
,
than
to
be
guilty
of
breach
of
Conditions
with
him
;
which
he
must
needs
have
been
,
if
before
a
Conviction
of
apparent
Treachery
,
he
should
upon
the
score
of
the
Lord
Inchiqueen's
over-sights
,
or
the
uncertain
jealousies
of
the
Irish
,
have
condescended
unto
either
of
the
things
proposed
.
This
Temper
and
Justice
in
the
Lord-Lieutenant
(
in
not
suffering
himself
to
be
led
by
the
clamors
and
importunity
of
the
people
and
Souldiers
)
involves
him
also
at
last
under
their
displeasure
and
mistrust
;
so
that
out
of
want
of
confidence
in
their
Chief
Commanders
,
and
out
of
diffidence
in
one
another
,
the
Army
was
now
fallen
into
a
very
unfit
condition
of
hazarding
a
battel
with
the
Enemy
,
if
an
occasion
should
offer
it self
:
and
to
make
it
worse
,
the
Scots
that
were
there
(
being
tired
out
with
the
necessities
the
whole
Army
suffered
,
and
receiving
news
of
the
Enemies
prevalence
in
their
Country
)
desired
leave
to
return
into
the
North
;
which
after
great
importunity
at
last
being
granted
them
,
they
immediately
withdrew
their
Forces
,
and
hasted
homewards
;
where
they
were
no
sooner
come
,
and
Sir
George
Monro
joyned
with
them
,
but
they
received
so
sore
a
blow
from
Coote
,
with
so
much
loss
and
dispersion
of
their
men
,
that
they
were
never
able
to
make
Head
in
Vlster
a●ter
.
Cromwel
now
finding
the
Army
so
much
weakened
by
the
desertion
of
so
many
of
the
Lord
Inchiqueens
men
,
and
the
departure
of
the
Scots
,
and
likewise
knowing
that
it
was
in
such
disorder
through
the
distrust
and
animosities
that
were
amongst
them
,
so
that
in
reason
he
was
like
to
have
much
the
advantage
if
they
should
fight
him
;
adventures
over
his
Bridge
at
Rosse
,
into
the
County
of
Kilkenny
,
where
by
facing
the
Lord
Lieutenants
Army
,
and
moving
after
it
up
and
down
▪
he
amazed
the
Irish
;
whilst
Iones
his
Lieutenant-General
,
with
parties
,
Carrick
taken
by
Lieu.
Gen.
Jones
.
took
in
the
Castles
of
the
Country
,
and
had
Carrick
given
into
his
hands
wretchedly
by
Martyn
that
Commanded
there
:
Upon
notice
whereof
Cromwel
hastens
thither
,
to
pass
his
Army
over
into
Munster
,
which
was
now
his
business
;
for
notwithstanding
his
purse
to
buy
provisions
of
the
Country
,
and
his
Ships
that
wherever
he
went
waited
continually
upon
him
,
his
Army
through
the
unseasonableness
of
the
weather
,
and
want
of
Quarters
,
was
so
much
harassed
and
wasted
,
many
of
his
men
falling
sick
and
dying
daily
,
that
it
he
did
not
hasten
to
his
Winter-quarters
,
he
would
in
probability
have
perished
without
a
blow
;
which
nevertheless
to
make
sure
work
,
the
Lord-Lieutenant
(
whose
Army
also
was
qui●●tired
out
with
wants
,
sufferings
,
and
continual
marches
)
nearing
that
he
was
gone
towards
Carrick
,
intended
to
bestow
upon
him
,
before
necessity
forced
him
to
disperse
his
men
;
and
to
that
end
his
Excellency
marcht
speedily
after
the
Enemy
,
The
Marq.
of
Ormond
de●●●●
to
sight
Cromwel
.
with
designe
to
s●t
on
him
,
whist
he
was
either
Engaged
before
Car●ick
,
or
else
incumb●●●d
at
some
other
Pass
upon
the
River
:
but
after
all
this
diligence
,
when
his
Excellency
came
neer
the
Town
,
he
then
learnt
that
the
place
was
lost
before
,
and
that
Cromwel
leaving
a
competent
Garrison
therein
,
had
onely
past
his
Army
over
,
and
was
gone
towards
Waterford
;
which
Town
during
Cromwels
Residence
a●
Rosse
,
through
the
perswasion
(
as
it
is
said
)
of
Geoffry
Baron
and
Hugh
Rochford
,
had
underhand
begun
a
treaty
with
him
for
the
delivery
of
the
Town
unto
him
;
which
Treaty
onely
stuck
upon
the
free
exercise
of
their
Religion
and
the
Churches
,
denied
unto
them
by
Cromwel
.
The
knowledge
of
this
,
caused
the
Lord-Lieutenant
now
to
hasten
thither
,
with
no
small
danger
to
his
person
,
to
press
them
to
admit
of
a
Garrison
;
which
being
a
long
time
denied
,
and
the
Lord
Castlehaven
,
with
divers
others
that
his
Excellency
propounded
,
being
utterly
rejected
by
them
;
yet
at
last
they
were
content
to
admit
of
Farrell
and
the
Vlster-men
,
who
accordingly
were
sent
immediately
unto
them
.
Lieu.
General
Farrel
made
Governour
of
Waterford
.
After
Farrells
admittance
,
he
upon
notice
of
the
Enemies
motion
that
way
,
fearing
some
commotion
in
the
Town
,
and
thinking
himself
not
strong
enough
to
resist
the
Enemy
without
,
and
master
them
within
;
writes
unto
his
Excellency
for
a
supply
of
men
;
and
these
his
Excellency
(
seeing
Cromwel
so
unexpectedly
got
over
into
Munster
,
through
the
Treachery
of
the
Garrison
of
Carrick
)
intends
now
to
conduct
himself
out
of
hand
into
Waterford
,
before
which
the
Enemy
was
supposed
to
be
:
thereupon
,
some
Principal
Officers
of
the
Army
desired
leave
that
they
might
in
the
interim
attempt
the
re-gaining
of
Carrick
;
against
whom
his
Excellency
objecting
the
want
of
materials
necessary
for
such
an
enterprize
,
was
assured
they
had
enough
to
serve
their
turn
for
that
work
;
yea
,
and
some
of
them
positively
undertook
the
taking
of
the
place
that
night
.
Wherefore
leaving
them
to
their
business
,
his
Lordship
bends
his
course
for
Waterford
,
Cromwel
attempting
Waterford
,
in
vain
departs
.
where
he
arrived
when
it
was
late
;
upon
notice
whereof
,
Cromwel
despairing
of
doing
any
good
upon
that
Town
,
and
finding
many
of
his
men
fall
sick
and
dye
of
the
Flux
,
which
then
raged
amongst
them
,
draws
off
in
the
night
,
and
hastens
towards
his
Winter-quarters
at
Corke
and
Youghall
;
in
which
march
,
as
he
gained
Dungarvan
,
so
he
lo●●
Iones
his
Lieutenant-General
.
Col.
Jones
dyes
of
the
Flux
.
During
the
Lord-Lieutenants
absence
,
the
Army
at
Carrick
assaults
the
place
,
the
Foot
falling
on
with
extraordinary
gallantry
and
resolution
,
The
Kings
Forces
Assault
Carrick
;
but
depart
with
loss
.
where
after
the
loss
of
many
of
them
,
they
failed
of
carrying
the
place
onely
for
want
of
a
few
Pickaxes
and
Spades
,
which
being
call'd
for
,
were
no
where
to
be
found
;
which
necessitated
the
poor
Foot
,
after
having
done
so
handsomely
,
and
stood
under
the
Walls
some
hours
,
to
quit
the
business
and
draw
off
;
when
extreme
want
of
Food
(
they
having
eaten
nothing
almost
for
two
days
)
enforced
them
to
march
away
towards
Clonmell
;
all
the
Country
betwixt
Carrick
and
Kilkenny
being
totally
spoiled
already
.
This
Carrick
was
gained
and
now
defended
by
Colonel
Reynolds
.
The
removal
of
the
Army
hence
,
without
sending
notice
of
it
to
the
Lord-Lieutenant
,
had
like
to
have
put
his
Excellency
into
the
Enemies
hands
:
for
he
making
full
account
of
the
regaining
of
Carrick
,
upon
the
former
assurance
that
was
given
him
,
was
upon
his
way
directly
thither
(
where
the
Enemy
had
300
Horse
,
and
he
not
40
in
his
Company
)
when
Colonel
Milo
Power
by
good
fortune
found
him
out
,
and
told
him
of
the
ill
success
of
the
Enterprize
,
and
the
motion
of
the
Army
thence
:
whereupon
he
altered
his
course
another
way
.
And
then
considering
that
the
Enemy
was
now
retired
into
his
Garrisons
,
Both
Armies
retire
to
their
Winter-quarters
.
that
the
weather
was
bitter
and
unfit
for
action
,
the
Winter
being
now
come
on
,
or
if
it
were
not
so
,
that
he
had
neither
Meat
,
nor
Money
wherewith
to
keep
his
men
any
longer
together
;
having
since
the
Revolt
of
Munster
(
which
deprived
him
of
the
greatest
share
of
his
Contributions
and
Provisions
)
been
a
long
time
already
forced
to
live
upon
the
spoil
of
the
rest
of
the
Country
;
he
concluded
upon
dispersing
his
Army
into
Quarters
also
,
which
(
because
the
Principal
Towns
refused
to
admit
them
in
)
he
was
fain
to
scatter
over
all
the
Kingdom
.
The
greatest
part
of
the
Vlster-Forces
were
sent
into
their
own
Province
,
there
to
chuse
a
new
General
,
according
as
their
conditions
allowed
them
,
for
Owen
O
Neal
was
dead
;
Gen.
Owen

Ulster

Luke

Connaght
,
Lord
Inchiqueen

to
Clare
,
Lord
Dillon
into
Meath
.
Maj
General
Hugh
O
Neal
made
Govern●ur
of
Clonmel
for
the
King
.
Kilkenny
garrisoned
for
the
King
.
and
Luke
Taafe
with
his
men
were
sent
back
into
Connaght
to
the
Lord
of
Clanrickard
:
The
Lord
Inchiqueen
with
the
remainder
of
such
as
belonged
unto
him
,
went
over
into
the
County
of
Clare
;
the
Lord
Dillon
with
his
into
Meath
,
and
towards
Athlone
;
all
the
rest
were
scattered
several
ways
,
onely
Major-General
Hugh
O
Neal
was
admitted
with
about
1600
Vlster-men
into
Clonmell
as
Governour
;
and
Kilkenny
received
also
a
competent
Garrison
,
to
secure
them
against
so
ill
Neighbours
as
both
Rosse
and
Carrick
were
.
Here
you
may
behold
a
summary
of
what
past
in
the
field
,
since
the
Army
first
set
forth
,
until
their
going
to
their
Winter-quarters
;
in
all
which
time
,
how
ill
soever
the
success
hath
been
,
nothing
can
with
any
colour
of
reason
be
laid
to
the
Lord-Lieutenants
charge
,
except
the
not
punishing
those
many
Failings
,
Treacheries
,
and
Disorders
that
were
committed
during
this
Summers
Expedition
:
Yet
as
to
the
disobedience
and
neglects
in
the
Siege
of
Dublin
,
I
gave
you
Reasons
why
that
was
past
over
before
;
and
those
that
were
committed
since
,
were
for
the
most
part
by
men
of
that
condition
and
interest
,
that
it
was
neither
safe
nor
fit
(
all
things
considered
)
to
call
them
to
an
account
.
As
for
Treacheries
,
most
of
the
Authors
of
them
took
care
to
secure
themselves
,
and
in
time
get
out
of
reach
;
onely
Crosby
that
betrayed
Kingsale
,
Crosby
betrayeth
Kingsale
;
he
is
Reprieved
and
pardoned
.
after
he
was
designed
to
dye
by
the
Lord-Lieutenant
,
upon
the
Lord
Inchiqueens
coming
to
Town
,
was
(
I
know
not
for
what
considerations
)
reprieved
and
saved
.
The
want
of
money
to
pay
the
Souldiers
,
and
the
exigences
they
were
for
the
most
part
in
,
after
the
mischance
at
Dublin
,
did
so
much
Authorize
their
disorders
in
the
Country
,
that
if
they
had
not
been
past
by
and
connived
at
,
there
had
been
no
means
of
keeping
them
together
.
So
that
I
have
many
reasons
to
believe
,
that
notwithstanding
the
defeat
at
Dublin
,
and
success
upon
Drogheda
,
Cromwel
with
all
his
great
Army
,
his
Fleet
,
and
store
of
Money
,
had
been
lost
and
sunk
to
nothing
,
if
the
Castles
of
Wexford
and
Carrick
had
not
been
so
foully
given
up
;
nay
,
and
after
that
too
,
if
those
Towns
and
Forces
in
Munster
had
not
so
treacherously
Revolted
.
Thus
did
the
knavery
and
malice
of
a
few
,
steal
away
the
Hearts
of
the
generality
of
that
undiscerning
simple
people
from
the
Lord-Lieutenant

The

of
Dublin
truly
had
been
made
unto
the
people
of
Ireland
by
the
arts
of
those
that
were
at
that
time
in
Government
amongst
them
,
a
most
odious
thing
;
though
those
very
persons
knew
well
enough
,
it
was
themselves
and
not
the
Lord-Lieutenant
,
that
was
in
the
fault
,
by
twice
foully
violating
their
Publike
Faith
with
him
:
First
,
in
breaking
a
Peace
made
,
and
solemnly
published
both
at
Dublin
and
Kilkenny
(
the
Respective
seats
of
the
Kings
Lieutenant
,
and
the
Council
of
the
Confederates
)
and
in
seconding
that
Act
(
after
having
imprisoned
the
Lord
Muskery
,
Sir
Robert
Talbott
,
Sir
Lucas
Dillon
,
Master
Brown
,
Master
Belings
,
and
the
rest
of
their
Supreme
Council
,
that
had
made
the
Peace
,
and
still
stood
honestly
to
what
they
had
done
)
with
bringing
their
Armies
before
Dublin
,
where
having
caused
the
burning
and
destruction
of
those
quarters
▪
the
Town
it self
must
have
been
lost
unto
them
,
it
upon
overture
of
a
Treaty
with
the
Parliament
they
had
not
sent
Men
and
Supplies
to
rescue
it
.
And
next
,
in
the
breach
of
that
solemn
Engagement
made
between
them
and
the
Marquess
of
Clanrickard
,
as
soon
as
(
upon
belief
of
their
resolution
to
return
unto
their
Duty
)
the
Treaty
was
broke
off
,
and
the
Forces
of
the
Parliament
sent
home
again
.
Could
it
be
expected
that
after
two
such
acts
as
these
,
any
wise
man
would
trust
or
treat
with
the
Irish
any
more
,
whilst
the
Government
was
still
in
the
same
mens
hands
?
who
after
all
this
,
wrought
the
whole
Assembly
to
declare
they
would
never
have
any
Protestant
Governour
more
,
and
namely
not
the
Lord-Lieutenant
;
and
who
were
not
ashamed
at
the
same
time
,
both
to
annul
the
Peace
,
and
yet
acknowledge
that
the
forementioned
Gentlemen
that
had
been
makers
of
it
,
and
suffered
in
justification
of
it
,
had
neither
exceeded
their
instructions
,
nor
done
any
thing
misbecoming
honest
men
.
His
Excellency
was
now
at
Kilkenny

He
is
at

where
having
in

endeavoured

observing

(
notwithstanding

admonitory
Declaration
of

being

now
began
to
spread
into

;
and
others
for
want
of
livelihood
,
as
having
neither
meat
nor
pay
,
flockt
in
unto
the
Enemy
:
He
went
into
Connaght
to
confer
about
carrying
on
of
the
publike
business
,
and
the
remedy
of
those
disorders
,
with
the
Marquess
of
Clanrickard
,
at
his
Castle
of
Portumna
,
about
the
end
of
Christmas
;
who
being
a
person
of
that
eminent
Merit
towards
our
King
and
Nation
,
and
deserving
so
much
Honour
from
all
honest
men
,
I
must
,
I
believe
,
do
a
thing
very
displeasing
to
you
,
not
to
give
you
a
due
Character
of
him
here
.
Upon
his
coming
to
Portumna
,
the
Lord-Lieutenant
meets
with
Sir
George
Monro
,
who
was
posted
thither
out
of
the
North
,
to
make
some
Proposals
in
order
to
the
reduction
of
Vlster
to
his
Excellency

Lord
Clanrickard

who
had
the
Summer

,
out
of
the
Province

)
and
in
case
those
overtures
of
his
were
not
approved
of
,
to
demand
his
Pass
,
that
he
might
leave
the
Kingdom
:
but
what
he
propounded
was
so
plausible
,
that
in
case
Money
and
Arms
could
be
had
in
time
,
and
in
proportion
to
what
he
demanded
(
as
the
infection
of
Galloway
,
out
of
which
Town
chiefly
both
were
to
be
had
,
made
it
very
difficult
)
they
judged
it
a
very
likely
Expedition
:
Whereupon
the
Lord

,
and
sends
him
Northwards

;
promising
to
do
his
uttermost
endeavours
to
procure
him
those
supplies
of
Money
,
Ammunition
,
and
Arms
,
by
the
time
appointed
;

also

to
countenance

should

endeavouring
with
the
Lord
Clanrickard
to
provi●●
an
Army
against
next
spring
.
After
four
or
fiv●
days
stay
at
the
most
,
his
Excellency
took
his
leave
,
and
hastened
towards
Kilkenny
,
obliging
the
Lord
Clanrickard
to
come
after
him
,
to
be
present
at
a
meeting
he
had
appointed
there
,
for
the
procuring
of
a
good
understanding
between
the
Clergy
,
the
Commissioners
,
and
himself
,
and
for
taking
the
best
order
they
could
,
for
the
raising
and
maintaining
an
Army
against
the
next
Spring
:
But
though
they
met
,
nothing
at
that
time
could
be
done
or
agreed
upon
;
wherefore
the
Lord
Clanrickard
returns
into
Connaght
,
to
take
order
for
his
Northern
Exp●dition
;
which
out
of
the
great
difficulties
of
getting
his
men
together
,
arising
out
of
the
universal
distractions
that
were
then
in
the
Kingdom
,
the
hard
Season
of
the
year
,
the
Pestilence
,
the
want
of
Moneys
and
Provisions
,
he
could
not
possibly
go
through
with
against
February
,
which
was
the
time
designed
;
nor
even
then
when
he
did
,
without
very
great
necessities
and
inconveniencies
to
himself
and
his
Army
;
though
that
Noble
Person
declined
no
difficulty
,
nor
spared
no
Charge
in
his
Majesties
Service
.
This
failing
in
point
of
time
,
and
a
great
part
of
the
Moneys
promised
him
(
which
nevertheless
as
things
stood
,
no
mans
industry
could
have
remedied
)
Sir
George
Monro
complained
very
much
of
,
affirming
,
that
their
opportunity
was
lost
thereby
,
especially
,
now
they
being
come
,
the
Army
was
able
to
move
no
further
through
extreme
want
of
Provision
(
kept
from
them
by
foul
and
contrary
weather
)
for
which
,
and
the
residue
of
the
Money
,
together
with
hopes
of
an
accord
between
the
Lord-Lieutenant
and
the
Commissioners
,
some
days
were
spent
in
expectation
;
but
nothing
in
the
end
,
except
onely
a
Letter
from
the
Lord
Ormond
summoning
the
Lord
Clanrickard
suddainly
away
;
his
Lordship
was
forced
to
leave
his
Army
and
the
Northern
business
to
the
hazard
,
and
return
back
to
meet
the
Lord-Lieutenant
and
the
Commissioners
at
Loghreogh
:
W●ereupon
Sir
George
Monro
believing
now
the
Lord-Lieutenant
would
leave
the
Kingdom
,
seeing
the
divisions
amongst
the
Irish
grew
daily
greater
,
and
giving
all
for
lost

and
lastly
,
finding
the
impatience
of
his

to
treat
with
the
Enemy
,
(
as
he
had
often
before
publikely
declared
he
would
)
retires
himself

;
and
having
made
Conditions
for
himself
,
the
remainder
of
his
Party
,
and
his
Officers
that
were
in
Prison
,
gave
up
that
place
to
the
Enemy
,
and
departed
the
Kingdom
.
Very
soon
after
whose
retirement
,
the
Lord
Clanrickard's
Army
through
extremity
of
want
was
forced
to
return
from
Sligo
back
towards
the
County
of
Galloway
.
Where
I
will
leave
it
,
and
come
back
to
his
Excellency

being
left

the
Lord
Clanrickard

in
Kilkenny

after
having
caused

to
be

he
had
of
betraying
that
Town
to

was
by
the
breach
growing
daily
wider
between
him
and

and

the
increase
of

Cromwels
Army
takes
the
Field
.
where
being
negligently
received
,
without
the
accustomed
respect
used
to
the
Kings
Lieutenant
,
he
after
a
short
stay
departed
thence
into
the
County
of
Clare
.
Immediately
thereupon
,
the
Enemy
having
refreshed
his
men
,
and
encreased
his
Army
with
a
great
accession
of
old
Souldiers
that
had
formerly
served
under
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
and
the
Lord-Lieutenant
,
takes
the
field
,
and
falls

,
and
bringing
the
Country
under
Contribution
;
wherein
he
had
a
general
success
,
most
of
the
Castles
surrendring
upon
appearance
of
a
party
of
Horse
;
except
Kiltenan
,
which
gave
him
some
resistance
.
His
Excellencies
Army
,
The
Kings
Army
dispersed
.
through
the
forementioned
obstinacy
and
disobedience
of
the
Towns
against
receiving
Garrisons
,
was
so
far
dispersed
,
that
there
was
no
means
of
drawing
them
together
;
neither
,
if
that
were
done
,
of
drawing
them
in
a
Body
;
for
the
Country
was
destroyed
and
wast
,
so
that
it
could
not
supply
him
:
besides
,
during
these
disagreements
between
the
Lord-Lieutenant
,
the
Clergy
,
and
the
Commissioners
,
there
were
few
or
none
of
the
Irish
Souldiers
(
if
there
had
been
Provisions
for
them
)
that
would
obey
his
Excellencies
Orders
.
Of
all
which
Cromwel
was
well
aware
,
and
therefore
went
securely
,
and
with
confidence
to
work
,
carrying
all
before
him
.

of
his
successes

(
then
the
dwelling-house
of
Master
Matthews
,
a
young
youth
,
and
half
Brother
to

Lord-Lieutenant
)
given
him
,
contrary
to
those
strict
orders
left
by
his
Excellency
with
Master
Matthews
for
the
keeping
of
it
;
who
was
so
conscious
of
his
own
misdoing
in
the
Act
,
that
he
refused
upon
several
summons
and
invitations
to
appear
before
his
Lordship

all
this

run

if
there
were
no

man

;
insomuch
,
that
seeing
so
many
several
meetings
assigned
,
and
so
much
time
spent
to
so
little
purpose
,
his
Excellency
concludes
that
those
people
would
never
be
brought
into
order
by
him
,
and
therefore
resolves
to
withdraw
himself
from
the

,
if
not
to
depart
the

to
commit
the
management
of
all
unto

withdraws

assents
unto
This
Agreement
being
made
,
the
English
were
accordingly
(
to
free
the
Irish
of
their
Jealousies
,
who
either
were
or
would
seem
to
be
equally
suspicious
of
the
Royalists
,
as
of
those
that
had
served
the
Parliament
before
)
disbanded
;
and
since
there
was
no
further
employment
for
them
,
The
English
under
Ormond
disbanded
and
take
Conditions
.
nor
means
of
getting
away
by
Sea
,
they
had
leave
to
make
their
Conditions
with
Cromwel
,
to
pass
through
his
quarters
out
of
the
Kingdom
:
which
being
granted
by
him
all
,
all
the
small
remainder
of
the
Lord
Inchiqueens
men
(
except
a
few
that
Colonel
Buller
was
to
carry
for
Scilly
)
went
under
the
conduct
of
Colonel
Iohn
Daniel
into
the
Enemies
quarter
;
so
did
the
Lord
Ards
,
and
after
him
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
,
with
whom
went
also
Master
Daniel
O
Neal
,
upon
the
score
of
carrying
a
Regiment
into
Spain
.
There
remained
none
behind
that
was
permitted
to
bear
any
charge
,
but
Lieutenant-Colonel
Treswell
,
at
the
Lord
Ormonds
particular
instance
,
to
Command
his
Guards
of
Horie
;
onely
Iohn
Digby
,
Colonel
Henry
Warren
,
and
Colonel
Hugh
Butler
●aid
to
wait
upon
his
Excellencies
person
,
and
bear
him
company
in
his
a●●entures
:
Colonel
Trevor
rendred
himself
likewise
upon
the
same
account
.
But
before
I
go
on
,
I
must
not
omit
to
tell
you
,
how
Dean
Boile
,
who
was
sent
to
treat
with
Cromwel
for
the
English
that
were
disbanded
,
being
offered
it
(
as
he
says
)
by
Cromwel
,
and
imagining
(
as
himself
affirms
)
to
do
a
service
to
the
Lord-Lieutenant
and
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
in
it
,
adventured
of
his
own
head
to
take
Passes
from
him
,
for
their
departure
out
of
the
Kingdom
;
whereof
,
as
soon
as
ever
Dean
Boile
was
gone
,
he
makes
use
,
to
debauch
the
Irish
Garrisons
to
take
Conditions
from
him
,
assuring
them
the
Lord-Lieutenant
had
received
his
Pass
to
depart
the
Kingdom
;
though
the
Passes
were
absolutely
without
his
Lordships
privity
or
license
accepted
,
and
with
indignation
resented
;
but
in
the
mean
time
Emer
Mac
Mahon
Bishop
of
Cloghor
,
Emer
Mac
Mahon
Bp.
of
Cloghor
,
made
General
of
the
Ulster
-
Army
.
who
had
been
chosen
General
of
the
Vlster-Army
,
having
a
good
while
since
received
his
Commission
from
the
Lord-Lieutenant
,
was
now
gathering
together
his
Army
,
which
in
a
short
time
after
he
had
made
up
to
be
about
6000
men
,
wherewith
having
taken
several
little
Castles
in
his
way
,
he
was
marched
up
into
the
Claneboyes
,
and
become
Master
of
the
field
.
Cromwel
repulsed
and
worsted
at
Clonmel
,
by
Maj.
General
Hugh
O
Neal
Governour
thereof
.
The
next
enterprize
Cromwel
went
in
hand
with
,
was
to
take
Clonmell
which
was
kept
by
Major-General
Hugh
O
Neal
,
who
behaved
himself
so
discreetly
and
gallantly
in
defending
it
,
that
Cromwel
lost
neer
upon
2500
men
before
it
;
and
had
notwithstanding
gone
away
without
it
,
if
they
within
had
had
store
of
Powder
;
but
their
small
proportion
being
spent
,
the
Governour
with
his
Souldiers
was
fain
to
go
out
of
the
Town
on
the
other
side
of
the
River
,
by
night
,
towards
Waterford
,
and
leave
the
Towns-men
to
make
Conditions
for
themselves
;
which
they
did
the
next
morning
,
the
Enemy
not
knowing
but
the
Garrison
was
still
in
Town
,
Clonmel
surrendred
to
Cromwel
.
till
the
Conditions
were
signed
.
Thus
the
loss
of
this
place
,
and
several
other
Garrisons
,
for
want
of
Ammunition
,
was
another
effect
of
the
disobedience
of
the
Towns
;
insomuch
,
that
had
it
not
been
for
a
little
Magazine
that
the
Lord
Clanrickard
had
providently
made
beforehand
,
and
wherewith
(
since
the
loss
of
Drogbeda
)
his
Excellencies
Army
,
the
Scots
,
the
Vlsters
,
and
most
of
the
Garrisons
were
furnished
;
all
might
have
gone
to
an
irrecoverable
ruine
,
whilst
the
Walled-Towns
(
like
Free-States
)
lookt
on
as
unconcern'd
,
denying
to
afford
it
to
them
.
David
Roch
defeated
by
the
L.
Broghall
.
The
Bp
of
Rosse
and
two
other
Priests
hanged
.
About
the
time
of
the
Siege
of
Clonmel
,
David
Roch
having
raised
above
2000
men
in
the
Counties
of
Corke
and
Kerry
,
and
beginning
to
make
head
with
them
,
received
a
small
brush
from
the
Lord
Broghall
,
which
onely
dispersed
his
men
for
a
few
days
,
his
loss
being
not
considerable
for
any
thing
but
the
Bishop
of
Rosse
,
who
being
taken
was
hanged
with
two
other
Priests
by
Cromwel
,
for
being
found
in
Arms
(
as
he
said
)
against
the
States
of
England
.
Soon
after
the
gaining
of
Clonmel
,
Cromwel
goes
for
England
,
Ireton
chief
Commander
in
his
place
.
Cromwel
upon
Letters
out
of
England
inviting
him
thither
;
went
to
Sea
,
and
leaves
Ireton
in
chief
Command
behind
him
,
to
subdue
the
rest
of
that
miserable
wasted
Kingdom
,
whilst
himself
went
about
the
Conquest
of
new
Empires
,
more
worthy
of
his
presence
.
Here
I
cannot
but
observe
,
that
of
all
those
thousands
that
either
came
with
him
thither
,
or
were
sent
after
,
there
are
now
few
tens
surviving
,
either
to
reap
the
benefit
,
or
report
the
stories
of
their
Victories
;
his
Army
upon
his
departure
being
sunk
to
a
very
inconsiderable
number
,
especially
in
Foot
;
and
neer
three
parts
of
those
,
consisting
of
either
Irish
,
Ione's
,
or
the
Lord
Inchiqueen's
men
,
who
onely
are
able
to
undergo
the
woful
incommodities
of
that
Country
,
now
groning
under
a
universal
Plague
,
Famine
,
and
Desolation
,
to
that
degree
,
that
if
they
had
known
but
half
the
miseries
that
expect
them
there
,
An
account
of
the
Irish
affairs
.
I
am
confident
that
no
Threats
nor
Flatteries
could
have
perswaded
men
out
of
England
thither
,
in
hopes
of
reaping
the
fruits
of
their
fellows
labours
,
in
that
destroyed
Kingdom
.
Which
,
as
low
as
't
is
brought
,
may
chance
to
cost
Cromwel
a
second
Expedition
,
and
another
Army
,
and
yet
go
without
it
.
For
they
have
Waterford
,
Galloway
,
and
Limerick
,
three
of
the
strongest
and
most
considerable
Towns
of
the
Kingdom
still
untaken
;
any
of
which
,
if
they
be
well
Garrisoned
(
as
questionless
now
they
are
)
will
be
neer
a
Summers
work
to
reduce
:
The
Forts
of
Duncannon
and
Sligo
,
the
Castles
of
Caterlo
,
Athlone
,
Charlemont
and
Neanagh
,
are
not
easie
purchases
:
the
Province
of
Connaght
is
still
preserved
entire
by
the
Lord
Clanrickard
,
who
will
be
able
to
bring
4000
men
of
his
own
into
the
field
,
now
that
Galloway
and
his
Country
is
somewhat
cleared
from
the
infection
of
the
Plague
;
which
begins
to
rage
greatly
in
the
Enemies
quarters
,
as
Corke
,
Youghall
,
Wexford
,
and
Dublin
it self
;
Kilkenny
,
Clonmel
,
with
several
places
thereabouts
being
left
desolate
with
it
.
The
County
of
Clare
in
Munster
brought
unto
the
Lord-Lieutenant
at
a
Rendezvouze
at
the
same
time
above
2000
men
,
wherewith
his
Excellency
(
being
invited
by
the
Magistrates
)
was
ready
to
march
into
Limerick
to
Garrison
that
place
,
and
to
make
it
his
residence
.
What
Forces
the
Irish
had
in
Vlster
and
towards
Kerry
,
I
have
already
told
you
,
as
likewise
what
Connaght
and
the
County
of
Clare
afforded
:
I
must
adde
that
Hugh
Mac
Phelim
had
in
Wi●klow
,
and
towards
Wexford
,
hard
upon
2000
men
;
and
at
Waterford
,
General
Preston
and
Hugh
O
Neal
had
little
less
:
to
conclude
,
besides
all
this
,
the
Lord
Castlehaven
,
the
Lord
Dillon
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Drummore
,
made
account
they
should
draw
together
a
considerable
Body
in
Meath
,
and
the
rest
of
Leimster
to
joyn
with
the
Marquess
of
Clanrickard
towards
the
relief
of
Tecroghan
,
then
besieged
by
Colonel
Reynolds
.
Thus
you
may
see
that
(
provided
they
be
united
amongst
themselves
,
and
that
means
can
be
found
of
keeping
them
in
bodies
together
)
there
are
men
enough
in
Arms
yet
to
dispute
the
business
with
an
Enemy
that
is
not
half
their
number
,
and
whose
quarters
are
pestered
likewise
with
the
Plague
and
Famine
,
as
well
as
theirs
;
especially
these
having
such
strengths
and
fastnesses
still
in
their
hands
,
as
are
almost
inaccessible
to
Cromwels
Souldiers
.
Who
after
having
mastered
the
greatest
part
of
Munster
and
Leimster
,
their
supplies
from
England
coming
in
but
slowly
,
have
made
bold
at
last
with
the
people
they
flattered
with
before
,
and
altered
their
manner
of
proceedings
,
taking
from
them
by
force
what
they
pleased
,
and
violating
their
protections
given
;
making
not
nice
to
tell
them
,
they
suffered
them
to
possess
their
Estates
but
during
pleasure
,
and
till
they
could
have
Planters
to
put
into
their
rooms
:
by
which
kind
of
clear
dealing
,
they
have
so
lost
and
made
desperate
the
Natives
,
that
lamenting
their
former
too
ready
compliance
with
the
Enemy
,
they
now
called
for
the
Lord-Lieutenant
again
,
and
taking
Arms
in
their
hand
,
began
to
rise
in
all
quarters
of
the
Kingdom
,
so
that
it
is
impossible
for
a
greater
power
than
Ireton
hath
there
to
attend
to
the
suppression
of
them
all
.
This
is
the
perfect
account
of
the
Irish
affairs
,
whereby
the
first
Trophees
of
the
English
Commonwealth
raised
themselves
to
greater
Atchievements
,
by
a
chain
of
successes
;
but
Winter
growing
on
,
their
Army
was
put
into
Winter-quarters
,
Cromwel
himself
to
that
purpose
taking
up
Youghall
lately
,
with
Corke
(
wherein
were
the
Lord
Inchiqueens
Lady
and
Family
)
revolted
by
the
treachery
of
the
Colonels
Gilford
,
Warren
,
and
Townsend
:
Col.
Wogan
defeated
and
taken
prisoner
.
Prince
Rupert
departs
Kingsale
with
his
Fleet
,
leaving
three
empty
ships
behind
him
.
Oct.
24.
(
Colonel
Wogan
newly
defeated
in
his
attempt
in
Passage-Fort
,
and
then
taken
prisoner
by
Colonel
Zanchy
)
whereupon
Prince
Rupert
with
the
Constant
Reformation
,
the
Convertine
,
wherein
was
Prince
Maurice
,
the
Swallow
where
was
Sir
Iohn
Mien
,
and
some
other
Sips
,
set
sail
from
Kingsale
,
where
he
had
continued
Blockt
up
most
part
of
the
last
Summer
by
Admiral
Popham
,
and
betook
themselves
to
the
Narrow
Seas
,
now
that
the
Parliament
had
most
of
that
Coast
in
their
possession
,
and
sailed
for
France
.
In
the
mean
while
Captain
Young
had
fired
the
Antilope
(
one
of
the
Kings
ships
)
at
Helvoet-sluce
in
Holland
,
and
the
Guinny-Frigot
was
mastered
and
taken
neer
Scilly
,
the
Rendezvouze
and
Harbour
of
his
Majesties
Fleet
,
that
did
very
much
hinder
and
obstruct
the
Trade
at
Sea
,
wherein
his
Majesties
Rebels
were
now
principally
concerned
;
of
which
we
shall
have
yet
further
occasion
to
speak
in
the
ensuing
year
.
The
Parliament
had
in
Iune
filled
up
the
Benches
at
Westminster
.
Aske
from
Clerk
of
the
Crown
(
one
of
their
Beagles
at
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
)
was
made
one
of
the
Justices
of
the
Vpper
(
so
was
the
Kings
)
Bench
newly
called
;
and
Broughton
(
a
Clerk
to
the
same
Court
)
had
his
former
Office
.
Puliston
and
Warberton
in
the
Common-pleas
,
to
whom
in
the
place
of
Judge
Phesant
,
Serjeant
Atkins
was
added
:
Colonel
Rigby
and
Thorpe
were
made
Barons
of
the
Exchequer
;
Col.
Morris
and
Cornet
Blackborne
Executed
at
York
,
Aug.
by
the
last
of
whom
,
Colonel
Morris
(
the
late
noble
Governour
of
Pomfret
)
and
Cornet
Blackborne
,
were
Condemned
and
Executed
at
York
,
on
the
18
day
of
August
;
at
which
Sessions
Thorpe
likewise
in
his
Charge
to
the
Grand-Jury
magnified
the
late
Actions
of
the
Parliament
,
and
justified
their
Authority
,
and
endeavoured
to
shew
its
consonancy
to
the
Laws
:
which
fine
Oration
is
yet
extant
in
Print
.
About
this
time
,
after
much
debate
by
these
Judges
,
and
at
the
instance
of
the
Army
,
the
Parliament
passed
the
Act
commonly
called
the
Five
Pound
Act
,
whereby
Debtors
in
Prison
,
upon
their
Oath
that
they
were
not
worth
five
pound
,
were
discharged
;
by
Vertue
whereof
,
most
of
the
Goals
in
England
were
emptied
,
and
room
made
for
Cavaliers
and
Royalists
;
of
which
party
Sir
Robert
Heath
,
Lord
Chief-Iustice
Heath
dyes
.
the
Noble
and
most
Loyal
Lord
Chief-Justice
of
England
(
being
an
excepted
person
by
the
Parliament
)
died
at
Caen
in
Normandy
,
about
the
end
of
August
;
and
Sir
Kenelm
Digby
and
Master
Walter
Mountague
were
ordered
to
depart
the
Kingdom
,
Sir
Kenelm
Digby
and
Mr.
Walter
Mountague

Kingdom
Forrain
Princes
,
how
affected
.
as
not
being
within
any
of
the
qualifications
for

Composition
.
Thus
stood
things
at
home
,
in
a
Commanding
and
Authoritative
posture
:
we
will
see
next
how
they
fadge
abroad
;
and
first
,
the
Scot
their
next
Neighbours
having
an
Army
moving
up
and
down
in
the
North
of
that
Kingdom
,
to
suppress
the
Montrossian
Party
,
which
appeared
in
the
Isles
of
Orkney
[
the
Marquess
then
bestirring
himself
in
the
Court
of
the
Duke
of
Holstein
for
supplies
,

ready
to
Embarque

having
sent
a
forerunning
Declaration

The
Marq.
of
Montross
his
Declaration

wherein
he
recited
the
greatness
of
those
condescentions
to

that
confidence
his
late
Majesty
had
of
them
,
when
he
put
himself
into
their
Hands
at
Newark
;
both
which
some
wicked
persons
of
that
Nation
had
Trayterously
abused
,
even
to
the
Murther
of
that
blessed
Prince
,
and
thereafter
would
impose
Conditions
and
Limitations
to
their
present
Soveraign
;
and
desired
all
good
and
honest
Subjects
who
had
been
misled
,
to
appear
with
him
to
the
vindication
of
those
injuries
,
as
well
as
reproach
of
the
Scotch
Nation
,
&c.
]
and
other
Forces
quartering
about
Edenborough
,
had
Decreed
that
no
Provision
whatsoever
should
he
carried
into
England
,
and
shewed
an
absolute
averseness
to
any
further
Treaty
or
Correspondence
with
the
English
;
but
had
dispatcht
away
the
Laird
of
Windram
,
one
Master
Libberton
,
to
the
King
,
who
after
his
arrival
at
Zeland
,
sailed
to
the
King
at
Iersey
,
with
the
onely
Conditions
of
taking
the
National-Covenant
,
and
renouncing
of
Montross
and
other
Royalists
of
that
Nation
.
For
in
the
beginning
of
September
,
the
King
was
arrived
there
with
His
Brother
the
Duke
of
York
in
company
with
Sir
George
Carteret
the
Governour
,
and
other
his
Nobles
and
Confident
Followers
,
having
before
his
departure
designed
some
of
his
Lords
as
Embassadors
to
several
Princes
.
The
French
also
had
prohibited
the
Importation

and

States
General
of
the
Vnited

had
denied
Audience
to
Walter
Strickland
their
new
Resident
,
after
several
instances
;
onely
the
Spaniard
(
who
had
lately
before
acknowledged
the
same
Provinces
for
a
Free
State
)
began
to
wind
about
,
and
to
insinuate
a
Compaliance
w●th
the
English
One
,
as
imagining
it
no
way
dangerous
,
but
advantageous
to
his
Interest
and
Stale
Ambition
of
Universal
Soveraignty
,
as
Campanella
had
designed
it
.
For
in
tendency
thereunto
,
he
prohibited
his
Subjects
in
Flanders
to
serve
the
King
at
Sea
,
his
Ports
being
before
open
to
such
Vessels
that
served
the
King
,
and
were
Manned
with
Flemings
for
the
most
part
,
and
did
also
under●tand
hold
Intelligence
with
this
State
.
But
the
Emperour
of
Russia
no
sooner
heard
of
the
Kings
Death
,
but
he
immediately
Commanded
all
the
English
to
depart
his
Dominions
,
and
was
hardly
perswaded
(
having
first
secured
their
Goods
)
to
give
them
leave
to
stay
a
while
in
Arch-Angel
,
his
onely
Port
of
Trade
,
whither
from
his
Court
and
City
of
Musco
he
had
driven
them
.
He
had
profered
to
the
Lord
Culpeper
(
His
Majesties
Embassador
)
to
have
given
him
all
the
English
Estates
;
but
he
declining
it
,
and
telling
the
Emperour
the
King
conceived
very
well
of
those
His
Subjects
,
He
lends

he
very
frankly
lent
the
King
20000

with
a
protestation
of
his
further
good
will
,
if
he
had
not
been
so
greatly
engaged
in
a
War
at
home
.
The
Dane
,
the
Swede
,
and
the
Pole
knew
not
what
to
make
of
our
New
Lords
,
and
so
let
them
alone
:
the
Portugal's
actions
Declared
Him
.
Several
Affronts
were
likewise
given
them
under
their
very
Noses
:
Presbyterian
Ministers
decline
t●●
Parliament
.
the
London
Presbyterian
Ministers
would
not
Officiate
,
neither
at
their
Fasts
nor
Thanksgivings
;
for
which
Contempts
,
several
of
them
were
brought
before
their
Committees
,
and
after
severe
reprehension
and
warning
dismissed
,
as
namely
Master
Love
.
Master
Ienkins
,
and
Master
Ash
:
The
Level●rs
discontented
.
And
the
Levellers
began
to
make
new
broils
,
the
Garrison
of
Oxford
,
of
Colonel
Ingoldsby's
Regiment
,
mutining
,
and
securing
their
Officers
;
while
Lilburn
and
his
Associates
vex
them
in
print
,
by
a
new
Pamphlet
called
the
Apprentices
Outcry
.
The
Mutineers
were
suppressed
in
a
manner
by
themselves
,
and
two
of
them
shot
to
Death
:
New
commotions
by
the
Levelers
.
Lilburn
having
been
kept
a
long
while
before
Prisoner
in
the
Tower
,
was
now
brought
to
his
Tryal
at
Guild
hall
,
by
a
Commission
of
Oyer
and
Termier
,
directed
to
the
new
Lord-Commissioner
Keeble
,
Justice
Iermin
,
and
others
;
where
after
a
confident
defence
of
himself
,
reading
of
several
Statutes
,
and
thumming
of
Magna
Charta
,
and
a
hundred
Slurs
upon
the
Court
,
he
was
acquitted
by
his
Jury
,
John
Lilburn
chosen
a
Common-Council-man
for
London
,
but
disabled
by
the
Parliament
.
and
not
long
after
chosen
a
Common-Council-man
for
the
City
;
though
the
Parliament
(
by
Vote
afterwards
)
disallowed
it
,
and
made
him
uncapable
of
any
Office
:
And
finally
,
that
I
may
have
done
with
this
Trouble-world
,
not
long
after
Sentenced
him
to
Banishment
,
which
was
procured
by
the
old
Feud
betwixt
him
and
Sir
Arthur
Hasilrigge
.
To
secure
themselves
therefore
from
that
and
all
other
Parties
,
they
Legislated
a
thing
called
an
Engagement
,
The
Engagement
Voted
,
Octob.
which
though
at
its
first
designment
it
reached
onely
persons
in
Office
and
Trust
,
and
the
Lawyers
that
Pleaded
(
with
an
additional
precept
to
the
several
Benches
,
to
remove
out
of
their
Chambers
(
in
the
Respective
Inns
of
Court
)
all
who
had
served
the
King
in
the
late
War
(
saving
the
benefit
of
Articles
)
as
they
had
kept
them
some
good
while
before
from
the
Bar
)
yet
at
last
it
included
all
sorts
of
men
from
18
years
old
and
upwards
,
who
were
enjoyned
to
recognize
,
and
then
subscribe
this
knack
,
in
these
Republican
words
,
—
You
shall
promise
to
be
true
●●d
faithful
to
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
as
it
is
now
established
without
King
or
House
of
Lords
.
And
their
repeated
prosperous
violation
of
all
things
Sacred
and
Civil
,
had
so
(
prob
Dolor
!
)
Atheisted
the
Land
,
that
people
jested
themselves
into
this
snare
:
the
Royalists
and
some
such
sober
Presbyterians
onely
disavowing
it
,
though
no
protection
or
benefit
of
the
Law
was
to
be
had
without
it

The
terrible
Powder-blow
in
Tower-street
,
Jan.
4.
On
the
4
of
Ianuary
,
happened
a
most
terrible
blow
by
Gunpowder
in
Tower-street
,
out
of
a
Ship-chandlers
cellar
,
who
going
down
about
8
of
the
Clock
about
some
business
there
with
a
Candle
,
it
unfortunately
sparkled
into
the
Powder
,
as
was
conceived
,
and
blew
up
and
spoiled
above
100
Houses
,
some
60
persons
being
killed
,
the
most
whereof
were
slain
as
they
were
drinking
in
the
Rose-Tavern
,
in
whose
Ruines
they
were
over-whelmed
.
This
accident
invited
the
curiosity
of
some
to
say
,
that
the
Treason
committed
that
time
Twelve
month
before
,
was
followed
with
this
its
sutable
attendant
,
to
point
to
the
Authors
the
likeness
of
their
Villany
.
But
whatever
that
disaster
signified
,
the
Death
of
Alderman
Hoyle
(
a
great
Rumper
)
of
York
,
Alderman
Hoyle
hanged
him●elf
,
Jan.
30.
who
hanged
himself
on
the
same
day
and
hour
Twelve
month
that
the
King
was
Murthered
,
plainly
shewed
the
vengeance
and
displeasure
of
God
against
that
monstrous
and
abominable
Fact
.
This
was
the
Evening-Sacrifice
to
their
Thanksgiving-Devotion
,
in
most
solemn
manner
celebrated
by
the
States
a●
Westminster
,
in
commemoration
of
their
lately
recovered
Liberty
from
the
Laws
and
a
just
Government
,
by
the
Death
of
the
King
,
being
the
Anniversary
of
his
Martyrdom
;
but
had
so
many
ill
Omens
and
sinister
Prognosticks
,
that
they
rased
this
Festival
out
of
their
Kalendar
,
which
carried
in
it
so
many
signal
remarques
of
the
just
Judgement
and
Ve●geance
of
God
upon
that
impious
Fact
,
and
their
no
less
abominable
mockery
of
Him
as
the
Author
thereof
,
in
this
their
pretended
religious
observation
of
that
fatal
Providence
.
Gen.
Blake
commands
a
Fleet.
General
Blake
was
now
fitting
out
to
Sea
with
a
lusty
Fleet
,
to
hinder
Prince
Rupert
,
(
now
Commanding
in
the
Western-seas
)
from
doing
further
prejudice
to
the
Trade
,
the
Nation
being
then
much
incommodated
by
several
Ships
of
War
set
out
by
His
Majesties
Commission
,
the
execution
whereof
could
not
discern
betwixt
His
Subjects
and
His
Rebels
.
The
Prince
was
then
in
Harbour
at
Lisbone
,
Prince
Rupert
blockt
up
Lisbone
,
Mar.
whither
Blake
directly
sailed
with
16
able
Men
of
War
,
and
blockt
up
the
Port
,
demanding
license
to
fall
upon
the
Prince
in
the
River
;
which
being
denied
,
an
attempt
was
made
by
him
;
but
the
Castles
firing
upon
his
foremost
Frigots
,
in
favour
and
protection
of
the
Prince's
Fleet
,
he
was
forced
to
give
it
over
,
and
come
to
an
Anchor
at
the
Mouth
of
the
Tagus
,
resolving
to
stop
and
seize
such
Vessels
of
the
Portugals
as
should
make
for
that
place
:
and
the
Brazile
Sugar-Fleet
was
then
daily
expected
.
An
Act
now
passed
for
removing
obstructions
in
the
sale
of
the
King
,
Queen
,
and
Princes
Lands
,
as
they
then
called
them
:
and
several
Mannors
and
Lands
were
apportioned
to
the
Souldiers
for
their
Arrears
,
whose
Debentures
were
now
stated
by
the
Committee
of
the
Army
,
the
Common
Souldiers
purchasing
in
manner
of
a
Corporation
by
Regiments
;
the
frequency
of
these
Debentures
(
which
the
old
Officers
and
Reformadoes
sold
at
Half
a
Crown
in
the
pound
,
and
so
drew
in
a
great
number
of
Citizens
to
be
Bargainers
with
the
Trustees
named
in
the
Act
for
the
sale
of
the
said
Lands
and
Hereditaments
,
which
were
thereby
invested
and
setled
on
them
for
the
use
of
the
Common-wealth
)
gave
an
opportunity
to
one
Granger
and
his
Complices
to
counterfeit
the
Hands
of
the
said
Committee
,
Granger
's
notorious
Cheats
.
by
which
means
several
false
Debentures
were
put
upon
the
Commissioners
,
and
more
Cheats
upon
those
that
bought
them
,
when
at
last
they
came
to
be
discovered
.
This
Granger
,
who
justified
his
little
Cheats
by
their
great
ones
,
continued
this
kinde
of
Trade
throughout
the
Usurpation
,
in
levying
Assessements
by
Warrants
,
which
he
would
counterfeit
and
make
use
of
to
any
of
the
Treasurers
of
the
Costome-house
or
Chamber
of
London
,
and
to
any
Collectors
and
Receivers
of
any
publike
Money
,
especially
in
Cromwels
raign
,
and
yet
never
suffered
further
than
the
Pillory
and
a
Temporary
Imprisonment
,
and
is
yet
alive
,
and
in
custody
for
his
former
Cheats
,
and
the
like
endeavours
and
attempts
of
late
.
The
King
was
yet
at
Iersey
,
whither
the
Lord
Libberton
was
Arrived
,
and
having
delivered
his
Letters
to
the
King
from
the
Committee
of
Estates
of
Scotland
,
Lord
Liberton

was
very
well
received
and
liked
of
by
the
King
,
and
in
February
dispacht
away
,
and
on
the
18
of
the
said
Month
landed
at
Leith
with
Letters
likewise
from
the
King
,
which
though
they
were
not
in
all
particulars
according
to
the
wish
and
mind
of
the
Estates
;
The
Scots
appoint
Commissioners
to
treat
at
Breda
.
yet
did
they
so
far
satisfie
,
that
Commissioners
were
appointed
forthwith
to
go
for
Holland
,
to
commence
the
Treaty
which
was
appointed
by
the
King
at
Breda
,
the
Prince
of
Aurange
being
desired
by
the
Scots
to
moderate
and
mediate
in
that
affair
.
The
King
in
danger
of
drowning
.
The
King
in
his
departure
from
Iersey
,
was
by
a
sudden
Gust
of
Wind
near
over-set
(
it
being
a
little
Bark
that
conveyed
him
into
France
)
had
not
one
of
his
Retinue
very
fortunately
with
his
Knife
cut
the
Cordage
that
held
the
Main-sheet
,
and
let
it
flie
in
the
Wind.
So
the
good
hand
of
Providence
still
took
care
of
and
preserved
him
to
most
glorious
and
wonderful
Revolutions
.
In
the
interim

were
not
throug●ly
Kirkified
,
twelve
of

being
turned
out

,
to
leave
no
advantage
to
the

of
requiring
any
favour
for
such
of

own
or
that
Party
to
be
admitted
into
Places
or
Trust
;
and
withal
,
they
thought
fit
now
to
give
an
answer
to
that
mentioned
Declaration
of
the
Marquess
of
Montross
,
most
virulently
and
falsly
answering
the
Contents
thereof
,
by
utter
denial
of
their
promoting
the
War
in
England
,
or
selling
the
late
King
,
or
tying
his
Son
(
their
present
Sovereign
)
to
any
further
Conditions
or
Agreements
than
what
his
Predecessors
had
constantly
been
bound
to
,
and
the
Laws
and
Customs
of
the
Nation
did
require
;
and
finally
,
adjured
all
men
to
beware
of
Apostacie
,
or
taking
part
with
that
Monster
of
Men
(
so
they
stiled

Martyr

)
Iames
Graham
,
more
deservedly
and
famously
known
Marquess
of
Montross
.
But
the
Sun
was
not
clearer
at
Noon-day
,
than
the
truth
of
that
Charge
in
very
particular
,
as
full
experience
did
convincingly
demonstrate
.
The
Commissioners
names
that
were
sent
,
and
who
departed
in
March
,
were
the
Earls
of
Cassils
and
Lothian
,
Sir
Iohn
Smith
,
the
Lord
Libberton
,
Laird
Broady
,
Iefferies
,
Leviston
,
Wood
,
and
Hutchinson
,
who
had
In●●ructions
to
acquaint
the
King
,
that
the
Committee
of
Estates
and
General
Assembly
were
not
satisfied
with
his
last
Letters
,
and
to
insist
that
he
would
take
the
National
Covenant
,
and
enjoyn
others
to
do
it
;
that
he
would
abandon
the
Counsel
and
Company
of
the
Marquess
of
Montross
,
and
other
such
Malignants
;
that
then
they
should
invite
him
to
come
into
his
Realm
of
Scotland
,
They
except
against
Malignants
.
and
take
his
Word
that
he
would
not
bring
any
Cavaliers
over
with
him
,
they
having
already
excepted
(
not
deigning
further
mention
of
Montross
)
against
Duke
Hamilton
,
the
Earl
of
Lauderdaile
,

,
the
Lords
Napier
,
Fendraught
,
St.

and
Eython

and
some
others
;
and
commanded
the
Earl
of
Calendar
upon
penalty
of
100000
Mark
Scots
to
depart
the
Kingdom
:
other
matters
upon
the
Treaty
the
King
left
to
the
Parliament
,
which
he
likewise
allowed
and
confirmed
,
and
all
proceedings
had
been
had
or
done
therein
:
which
shall
suffice
for
the
account
of
that
Transaction
;
neither
the
King
nor
the
Commissioners
taking
any
notice
of
Montrosses
preparation
to
come
into
that
Kingdom
,
but
purposely
avoiding
any
dispute
about
it
,
of
which
we
shall
have
occasion
to
speak
presently
.
At
home
,
the
Parliament
to
comply
with
the
Proposals
of
the
Army
and
their
former
Agreements
,
made
shew
of
dissolving
themselves
,
and
chusing
a
new
Representative
,
and
debated
upon
qualifications

Members

Colonel
Walter
Slingsby
were
now
taken
at
Colonel
Travanions
house
in
Cornwal
,
and
secured
;
which
made
them
conceive
there
was
some
designes
on
foot
for
the
King
to
be
put
in
execution
.
At
the
same
time
they
proceeded
with
the
old
Vizor
of
Piety
,
voting
some
Expedients
for
the
propagation
of
the
Gospel
,
and
withal
,
very
strictly
urging
Subscriptions
to
the
new
Engagement
;
The
Engagement
pressed
by
the
Parliament
.
which
at
last
visited
the
University
of
Oxford
,
and
was
as
unwelcome
and
destructive
to
the
new
Fellows
and
Scholars
,
put
in
by
the
Presbyterian
Party
of
Parliament
in
1647
,
and
48.
as
the
Covenant
was
(
being
tendered
in
the
like
manner
)
to
the
rightful
proprietors
(
the
Loyal
Students
)
then
ejected
;
particularly
Doctor
Reynolds
,
who
come
in
the
place
of
Doctor
Fell
,
resigned
it
to
one
Owen
,
who
was
made
Doctor
in
Divinity
(
famous
for
his
primer
and
his
better
Lesson
of
flattery
with
Oliver
)
and
Dean
of
Christ-Church
.
Never
greater
or
more
Robberies
committed
by
Thieves
than
at
this
time
,
Great
Robberies
.
for
which
almost
60
suffered
at
Tyburn
at
two
Sessions
.
A
new
Council
of
State
.
A
new
Council
of
State
was
(
as
their
annual
change
required
)
now
constituted
,
Basil
Earl
of
Denbigh
being
first
named
in
the
Act
by
which
it
was
appointed
;
by
whom
Mr.
Anthony
Ascham
and
Mr.
Charles
Vane
were
sent
Agents
to
the
respective
Kings
of
Spain
and
Portugal
,
Mr.
Ascham
and
Mr.
Vane
sent
Agents
into
Spain
and
Portugal
.
in
the
Fleet
with
General
Blake
.
Care
was
likewise
taken
for
another
Fleet
to
be
presently
equipped
,
which
should
consist
of
30
great
Men
of
War
:
and
several
Frigats
of
great
Force
were
now
upon
the
Stocks
,
and
preparation
made
for
others
;
the
Names
of
most
of
the
former
Navy
being
changed
,
The
Names
of
Ships
changed
.
taking
their
new
Names
from
the
several
places
of
the
Parliaments
Successes
and
Victories
;
others
relating
to
the
Dignities
of
the
Government
,
as
the
President
,
and
the
Faithful
Speaker
,
now
newly
lanched
;
so
that
the
Dutch
began
to
look
about
them
.
Several
Complaints
were
now
made
to
them
,
from
some
that
had
suffered
for
their
disloyalty
in
the
Isle
of
Barbadoes
,
A
Fleet
sent
to
Barbadoes
against
the
Lord
Willoughby
of
Parham
.
as
also
from
other
of
the
Loyal
American
Dominions
,
except
New
England
,
that
yet
kept
in
Statu
quo
;
whereupon
the
State
decreed
to
send
a
Fleet
thither
to
reduce
that
place
,
it
being
now
Governed
by
the
Lord
Willoughby
of
Parham
,
sent
thither
by
the
King
from
Holland
,
whither
his
Lordship
had
withdrawn
from
the
violence
of
the
Army
,
being
one
of
those
Peers
whom
they
questioned
for
Treason
in
1647.
Cavaliers
to
depart
London
.
And
Act
came
now
out
likewise
,
Commanding
all
Royallists
to
depart
London
,
and
twenty
miles
beyond
it
,
with
an
injunction
not
to
stir
five
miles
from
their
own
habitation
,
and
to
give
notice
to
the
next
Officer
of
their
arrival
there
:
and
to
make
through
work
with
them
,
the
Parliament
was
now
in
Debate
of
exposing
several
of
their
Estates
to
sale
,
Orders
concerning
Delinquents
Estates
.
and
such
in
the
first
place
who
were
then
beyond
Sea
;
and
(
to
raise
these
unhappy
forfeitures
to
their
greater
advantage
)
ordering
that
no
Estate
not
Compounded
for
in
the
Delinquents
life-time
,
should
be
now
Compounded
for
by
his
Heirs
,
but
should
accrue
entire
to
the
State
.
Against
several
Branches
of
this
and
other
harsh
usage
,
particularly
of
that
restraint
and
confinement
within
five
miles
of
their
dwelling
,
the
kinder
Army
interposed
their
desires
,
as
not
consistent
with
their
former
Proposals
:
but
they
well
knew
they
were
not
to
ask
,
and
must
be
disobeyed
in
that
particular
;
yea
,
even
in
this
most
reasonable
request
of
Liberty
to
those
,
who
had
the
benefit
of
Articles
,
A
new
High
Court
of
Iustice
constituted
.
Keeble
made
President
thereof
.
and
had
Compounded
.
Another
High
Court
of
Iustice
was
now
a
forming
,
which
though
the
Act
that
Constituted
it
bore
date
the
5
of
April
in
the
year
ensuing
,
yet
we
mention
it
here
,
because
Montrosses
Expedition
and
final
defeat
do
challenge
an
entire
space
of
time
to
register
them
.
Of
this
Court
,
Keble
one
of
the
Commissioners
of
the
Seal
was
now
made
President
,
Bradshaw
being
too
high
to
do
that
Journey-work
any
longer
,
being
President
of
the
Councel
of
State
:
it
was
erected
in
revenge
of
Ascham's
and
Doristaus's
death
,
as
a
Vote
and
Declaration
of
the
States
angrily
expressed
.
An
Act
passed
likewise
for
the
better
managing
of
Estates
under
Sequestration
;
which
trust
was
committed
to
Samuel
Moyer
,
Iames
Russel
,
Edmund
Winstow
,
Iosias
Barners
,
William
Mullins
,
Arthur
Squib
,
and
Rowland
Moor
;
names
so
terrible
,
and
Haberdashers-Hall
their
Court
or
Judicature
so
hated
and
infamed
,
for
the
violences
done
by
these
persons
there
,
that
they
are
not
to
be
passed
without
a
mark
to
Posterity
.
They
likewise
Enacted
the
outing
of
all
Officers
who
should
not
nor
had
taken
the
Engagement
;
another
Act
against
Mariners
serving
of
Forrein
Princes
,
which
still
carried
an
ill
aspect
towards
the
Dutch
:
another
(
according
to
their
tenour
of
professed
Sanctity
)
against
Fornication
;
which
was
passed
in
April
,
An
Act
against
Fornication
.
but
was
not
to
take
place
till
the
24
of
Iune
ensuing
;
the
first
Reading
thereupon
was
Harry
Martin's
,
who
said
it
was
made
to
catch
Fools
,
for
that
there
was
a
Clause
in
it
,
That
no
person
should
be
convicted
without
the
joynt-testimony
of
two
witnesses
;
yet
an
Old
Man
and
an
Old
Woman
of
above
80
years
old
apiece
suffered
afterwards
for
it
;
and
for
the
open
guilt
whereof
,
they
had
turned
out
Gregory
Clement
,
one
of
their
Members
,
though
others
lewd
enough
kept
their
Seats
;
and
finally
,
one
for
the
levying
of
90000
lib.
per
mensem
for
the
three
first
and
60000
l.
for
the
three
last
months
,
by
which
they
hoped
to
ingratiate
with
the
people
,
now
heavily
complaining
of
the
pressures
and
the
ruine
of
their
Trade
.
And
so
we
conclude
this
first
year
of
the
Government
of
our
Novel
Free
States
.
Anno
Dom.
1650.
WE
begin
the
Year
with
the
end
of
one
of
the
Noblest
Gallantest
Persons
that
Age
saw
amongst
all
the
Wars
and
Broils
in
Christendom
:
An
Account
of
the
last
actions
of
the
Marquess
of
Montross
.
A
Captain
whose
unexampled
Atchievements
have
fam'd
a
History
;
and
were
its
Volume
ten
times
bigger
,
it
would
yet
be
disproportionate
to
the
due
praises
of
this
matchless
Heroe
.
Enter
and
Exit
the
glorious
Marquess
of
Montross
,
whose
most
lamentable
Fare
and
Catastrophe
,
we
will
here
sum
up
in
this
(
no
way
competent
)
compendious
Narrative
.
After
his
departure
out
of
Scotland
,
He
was
offered
to
be
Capt.
of
the
Scots
Guards
to
the
King
of
France
.
as
you
have
read
,
he
betook
himself
to
the
Court
of
France
,
where
he
was
proffered
the
Captainship
of
the
Scots
Guards
to
that
King
,
a
place
of
great
Honour
and
Revenue
;
but
being
delayed
by
Cardinal
Mazarine
,
who
affected
not
that
Nation
,
and
his
spirit
aiming
at
his
own
Princes
Service
,
he
betook
himself
to
the
King
then
at
the
Hague
,
where
he
endeavoured
after
the
Murther
of
King
Charles
the
first
,
a
like
new
Commission
for
Scotland
;
but
being
thwarted
therein
by
Duke
Hamilton
,
then
residing
there
likewise
(
and
his
confident
Friends
the
Earls
of
Lauderdale
and
Calendar
)
who
was
aemulous
of
his
former
glories
in
the
Government
,
and
late
War
of
that
Kingdom
;
he
betook
himself
to
the
Emperor
at
Vienna
,
where
he
was
presently
proffered
the
Command
of
an
Army
of
10000
men
,
and
to
be
independent
of
any
other
General
;
The
Emperor
at
Vienna
offers
to
make
him
one
of
his
Generals
.
but
the
Peace
being
concluded
betwixt
the
Swede
and
the
Emperour
,
he
departed
,
upon
pursuit
of
his
adventure
into
Scotland
,
having
obtained
a
Commission
from
the
King
;
and
in
order
to
that
Expedition
,
was
furnished
with
four
ships
from
the
Duke
of
Holstein
,
some
supplies
from
the
King
of
Denmark
,
and
1500
Arms
from
the
Queen
of
Sweden
(
and
some
Horse
promised
under
General
King
from
thence
)
and
a
little
neat
Frigat
●or
his
own
conveyance
;
some
monies
also
were
disburst
to
him
,
which
were
transmitted
to
Amsterdam
,
for
other
the
like
occasions
and
necessaries
,
and
there
falsly
and
basely
squandred
away
by
one
Colonel
Ogilby
,
an
old
friend
,
and
now
entrusted
by
the
Marquess
in
that
affair
unfortunately
and
unhappily
enough
,
a
limb
of
the
Designe
being
thus
broken
.
With
these
the
Marquess
(
as
is
supposed
)
fearing
lest
he
should
have
an
express
command
to
desist
from
his
purpose
,
because
the
Treaty
betwixt
the
Prince
and
the
Scotish
Commissioners
was
now
very
neer
a
conclusion
,
did
precipitate
himself
and
those
that
were
with
him
into
a
most
inevitable
ruine
.
Now
all
those
great
Levies
and
Aids
,
those
mighty
preparations
for
the
Invading
of
a
Kingdom
settled
in
a
posture
of
War
,
and
well
forewarned
of
his
intentions
,
amounted
not
above
the
number
of
six
or
seven
hundred
at
the
most
,
strangers
and
all
.
The
Common
Souldiers
which
adventured
over
with
him
,
most
of
them
Holsteyners
or
Hamburgers
.
He
had
sent
him
by
the
Queen
of
Sweden
,
for
the
arming
of
such
Gentlemen
as
should
upon
his
arrival
betake
themselves
to
his
Party
(
as
before
)
1500
Arms
compleat
for
Horse
,
Back
,
Brest
,
Head-piece
,
Carbines
,
Pistols
,
and
Swords
;
all
which
(
after
his
defeat
in
Cathnes
)
were
taken
untouch'd
.
With
this
small
preparation
,
it
was
a
desperate
action
to
attempt
so
mighty
a
business
.
And
although
his
touching
first
upon
the
Island
did
encrease
his
number
,
and
gave
him
almost
the
beginning
of
an
Army
;
yet
were
those
barbarous
people
so
raw
and
unacquainted
with
Discipline
,
that
they
proved
in
a
manner
useless
and
unserviceable
.
'T
is
true
,
the
Inhabitants
of
those
Isles
were
a
people
in
former
times
very
fierce
and
warlike
,
Marquess
of
Montross
Arms
for
the
King
in
Scotland
.
and
have
under
their
own
Captains
made
many
great
Impressions
into
the
very
heart
of
the
Kingdom
.
But
whether
it
was
the
policie
of
the
late
Kings
to
leave
them
untrained
of
purpose
to
break
their
natural
fierceness
,
or
because
their
own
Captains
being
quelled
or
cut
off
,
they
cared
not
much
to
engage
under
any
other
;
certain
it
is
,
that
Kingdom
for
200
years
last
past
hath
not
made
less
use
of
any
they
had
under
their
Jurisdiction
,
nor
have
they
at
this
present
less
opinion
of
any
Scots
for
Military
courage
and
valour
.
And
this
may
be
alledged
as
a
great
cause
of
their
remissness
and
unweildiness
,
whilst
they
were
in
the
Marquesses
Service
.
I
told
you
a
little
before
of
Montross's
whole
strength
which
did
accompany
him
from
Germany
,
whereof
two
ships
(
with
near
upon
a
third
part
)
were
sent
before
;
but
by
storm
of
weather
(
which
is
both
frequent
and
dangerous
)
amongst
those
Northern
Islands
,
His
ill
success
.
they
were
lost
with
all
the
men
and
Arms
,
nothing
saved
:
This
was
another
check
,
and
as
it
were
a
warning
and
a
forerunner
of
the
sad
event
which
followed
.
But
the
business
being
fatal
,
he
must
needs
contribute
his
own
endeavours
towards
that
destruction
which
his
cruel
fortune
had
provided
for
him
.
For
he
being
nothing
terrified
with
this
success
,
sends
out
a
second
party
,
which
making
a
more
prosperous
Voyage
,
landed
at
Orkney
,
and
entred
the
Island
without
any
resistance
;
there
being
at
that
time
no
Garrison
or
defence
placed
in
any
of
those
Islands
by
the
States
of
Scotland
:
together
with
these
he
sent
several
Commissions
for
levying
Horse
and
Foot
.
Immediately
there
were
several
dispatched
to
Scotland
,
and
the
Islands
adjacent
for
that
purpose
:
the
people
of
the
Country
being
in
no
condition
to
resist
these
Officers
,
endeavoured
in
hopes
of
favour
as
much
as
they
could
to
further
the
designe
:
And
those
who
were
not
so
earnest
,
were
by
their
own
neighbours
,
favourers
of
the
Cause
,
and
these
violent
Commissioners
,
forced
to
take
up
Arms.
Not
long
after
,
landed
.
the
Marquess
himself
with
the
rest
of
his
Company
,
together
with
those
Gentlemen
which
were
resolved
to
partake
of
his
fortune
;
amongst
whom
were
several
persons
of
note
:
Colonel
Hurry
was
there
,
a
man
who
had
engaged
in
all
Quarrels
,
but
never
prospered
in
any
;
the
Lord
Frendraught
(
for
his
Kinsman
the
Lord
Napier
was
left
in
Holland
)
Colonel
Iohnson
a
resolute
man
and
an
old
Souldier
,
Colonel
Gray
a
German
Souldier
,
Harry
Graham
his
own
natural
Brother
,
Colonel
Iames
Hay
of
Naughton
,
Sir
Francis
Hay
of
Dalgety
,
George
Drummond
of
Ballach
.
For
he
had
employed
as
was
thought
Colonel
Sibbalds
(
his
Companion
heretofore
)
as
his
Agent
in
Scotland
;
but
he
was
apprehended
at
Musselburgh
,
and
did
accompany
his
General
in
death
upon
the
same
Scaffold
.
The
Marquess
continued
a
considerable
time
in
Orkney
,
raising
of
Forces
,
and
strengthning
himself
with
such
Recruits
as
the
place
would
afford
:
Neither
was
there
any
preparation
at
all
made
in
Scotland
to
dispossess
him
of
these
Islands
,
either
because
it
might
be
thought
a
difficult
business
to
assail
him
within
those
places
naturally
guarded
with
a
rough
and
dangerous
Sea
,
or
because
they
knowing
his
strength
,
expected
a
better
opportunity
of
him
,
as
they
found
indeed
,
within
the
Country
.
After
this
poor
rabble
of
silly
creatures
was
amassed
,
he
resolved
at
last
to
Embarque
;
and
to
that
purpose
gathers
all
the
Boats
he
could
finde
,
ships
his
men
,
and
in
a
short
space
Lands
them
all
upon
the
point
of
Cathnes
,
which
is
the
farthest
land
to
the
North-west
of
Scotland
.
The
people
having
some
experience
of
the
carriage
of
his
former
souldiery
,
and
now
far
more
dreading
the
name
of
Forrainers
,
partly
by
the
terrible
reports
which
were
constantly
given
out
of
him
,
fled
away
in
heaps
,
many
of
them
not
stopping
till
they
came
to
the
chief
City
Edenborough
,
The
Parliament
at
Edenburgh
Alarmed
.
and
there
gave
the
terrible
Alarm
to
the
Parliament
then
sitting
.
The
Commanders
were
immediately
summoned
,
and
charged
with
all
possible
hast
to
get
the
standing
Forces
in
readiness
;
and
a
Rendezvouze
(
in
order
to
the
States
Command
)
was
hereupon
presently
enjoyned
at
Brechin
Northward
.
Col.
Straughan
sent
with
a
choice
party
of
Horse
to
oppose
him
.
Colonel
Straughan
(
who
was
then
in
high
esteem
with
the
great
ones
for
his
Valour
lately
expressed
in
the
English
service
,
and
his
Zeal
to
the
Presbyterian
Cause
,
much
extol'd
at
that
time
)
had
an
ample
and
particular
Commission
granted
to
him
by
the
Parliament
,
to
command
a
choice
party
of
Horse
,
which
should
not
be
subject
to
David
Lesly's
Orders
,
but
might
Engage
and
Fight
with
the
Enemy
at
his
best
advantage
.
With
these
(
being
not
above
300
)
he
advanced
before
the
Army
;
After
him
follows
Lesly
and
Holborn
.
David
Lesley
with
the
rest
of
the
Horse
,
and
Holborne
with
the
Foot
marching
after
him
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Marquess
advanced
,
but
very
slowly
;
and
that
he
might
not
be
mistaken
,
(
since
all
the
world
was
much
astonished
at
this
Invasion
now
whilst
the
King
was
upon
a
Treaty
)
he
published
a
second
Declaration
,
The
Marq
Publisheth
a
Declaration
.
wherein
he
laboured
to
clear
himself
of
any
aspersion
of
sinister
ends
.
That
his
intention
was
onely
against
some
particular
persons
,
who
had
against
the
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
raised
and
maintained
a
War
against
the
Kings
Father
,
and
did
now
by
their
subtile
practises
endeavour
to
destroy
the
Son
also
.
That
he
intended
nothing
against
the
Generality
of
the
Kingdom
.
The
danger
of
this
attempt
.
Lastly
,
Exhorting
all
Subjects
of
that
Nation
to
endeavour
to
free
themselves
from
the
Tyranny
of
those
who
for
the
present
ruled
the
State
,
and
the
oppression
of
the
Ministry
.
But
the
Country
,
for
several
Causes
,
did
not
come
to
second
him
as
he
expected
.
For
the
Earl
of
Sunderland
,
Earl
of
Sunderland
opposeth
him
.
a
potent
man
in
those
parts
,
his
Lands
being
next
to
the
place
where
the
Marquess
then
was
,
raised
a
great
power
of
his
Tenants
and
Friends
,
and
did
his
best
to
terrifie
and
hinder
all
that
were
willing
to
joyn
with
him
.
And
though
he
found
himself
unable
to
deal
with
the
Marquess's
Forces
,
yet
did
he
stop
all
intercourse
betwixt
him
and
his
Friends
.
And
those
Gentlemen
who
had
heretofore
followed
him
,
and
yet
inclined
to
assist
him
,
knowing
the
danger
of
the
enterprse
,
considering
the
fewness
of
his
number
,
and
that
his
Souldiers
were
much
undisciplined
,
and
unlike
to
the
former
with
whom
he
had
done
so
great
things
,
began
to
be
averse
,
and
have
a
suspition
of
the
event
.
Yet
have
I
heard
some
say
,
which
knew
well
enough
the
situation
of
that
Country
,
that
if
he
had
not
been
suppressed
in
the
nick
,
he
might
have
gained
such
strength
amongst
the
Hills
,
as
might
have
given
him
leisure
enough
to
have
strengthened
his
own
Party
,
and
tired
out
the
Enemy
.
Howsoever
,
he
was
not
altogether
unmindful
of
a
retreat
:
There
is
in
that
Country
a
Castle
called
Dumbath
;
Dumbath
-
Castle
surrendred
to
the
Marquess
his
Forces
.
the
Lord
or
Laird
thereof
is
the
head
of
a
very
Antient
Family
,
but
no
friend
of
the
Marquesses
.
This
Gentleman
(
having
left
his
House
in
the
keeping
of
his
Lady
and
some
servants
)
fled
to
Edenburgh
.
The
Lady
(
though
the
place
was
naturally
fortified
)
yet
upon
summons
delivered
it
to
Colonel
Hurry
,
(
who
was
sent
thither
by
the
Marquess
with
a
party
of
Foot
to
reduce
it
)
upon
conditions
her
Goods
and
Estate
might
be
secured
,
and
she
with
her
Servants
suffered
to
march
away
.
Hurrey
having
placed
a
Governour
and
a
Garrison
(
as
he
thought
)
sufficient
for
the
defence
of
the
place
,
returned
to
the
Marquess
,
who
was
advanced
to
the
place
,
or
neer
it
,
where
he
was
to
lose
at
one
Throw
both
his
Life
and
Fortune
.
The
Marquess
hearing
of
the
Enemies
approach
,
made
his
whole
Forces
March
at
a
great
Trot
,
to
recover
a
Pass
which
they
were
not
very
far
from
,
when
he
himself
in
the
Van-guard
discovered
the
first
party
,
which
was
Straughan's
Forlorn-hope
,
Col.
Straughan
sets
upon
him
.
advancing
very
fast
upon
him
.
So
that
these
,
with
their
has●e
and
the
Soul
diers
running
,
found
them
both
out
of
Breath
and
Order
.
The
second
Party
was
Commanded
by
Straughan
himself
,
and
the
Rear-guard
by
Colonel
Ker
,
for
he
had
divided
them
into
three
Bodies
:
But
now
the
first
party
being
very
neer
,
there
was
a
Forlorn-hope
of
100
Foot
drawn
out
to
meet
them
,
who
giving
fire
upon
them
,
put
them
to
a
disorderly
retreat
;
but
being
immediately
seconded
by
Straughan's
Party
,
they
made
good
their
Charge
,
and
so
terrified
the
Islanders
with
that
breach
,
that
most
of
them
threw
down
their
Arms
,
and
called
for
Quarter
.
Onely
the
Dutch-companies
(
after
they
had
bestowed
a
Volley
or
two
amongst
the
Horse
)
retreated
into
some
shrubs
hard
by
,
and
there
very
valiantly
defended
themselves
a
while
,
The
Marq.
of
Montross
defeated
Ap.
29.
but
were
all
taken
at
last
.
There
were
killed
in
this
business
to
the
number
of
200.
taken
1200
;
very
few
escaped
.
For
the
whole
Country
being
in
Arms
,
especially
Sunderland-men
(
who
came
not
to
the
Fight
,
but
to
the
Execution
)
they
killed
or
took
Prisoners
all
such
as
fled
.
In
that
skirmish
was
taken
the
Standard
which
he
had
caused
to
be
made
on
purpose
to
move
the
affections
of
the
people
,
with
this
Motto
,
Iudge
and
revenge
my
Cause
,
O
Lord
;
and
the
Portraict
of
the
late
King
beheaded
,
exactly
well
done
.
The
Standard-bearer
(
a
very
gallant
young
Gentleman
)
was
killed
,
His
Standard
taken
,
and
the
bear●r
thereof
slain
taken
besides
on
the
Marquess
his
side
,
Col.
Hurrey
,
Lord
Frendraught
Sir
Francis
Hay
,
&c.
after
he
had
several
times
refused
quarter
:
there
was
Colonel
Hurrey
taken
,
the
Lord
Frendraught
,
Sir
Francis
Hay
of
Dalgetie
,
Colonel
Hay
of
Naughton
,
Colonel
Gray
,
and
most
of
the
Officers
,
and
two
Ministers
.
The
Marquess
(
after
he
saw
the
day
was
absolutely
lost
)
threw
away
his
Cloak
,
which
had
the
Star
on
it
(
having
received
the
Order
of
the
Garter
a
little
while
before
:
)
his
Sword
was
likewise
found
,
and
not
very
far
off
his
Horse
,
which
he
had
forsaken
:
For
so
soon
as
he
had
got
clear
off
that
ground
where
the
Skirmish
was
,
he
betook
himself
to
foot
;
and
lighting
upon
one
of
that
Country
,
or
one
of
his
own
Souldiers
(
I
know
not
whether
)
took
his
Highland
Apparel
from
him
,
and
so
in
that
Habit
conveyed
himself
away
:
But
such
narrow
search
being
made
for
him
,
he
could
not
long
escape
;
yet
he
continued
in
the
open
fields
three
or
four
days
,
without
any
notice
gotten
of
him
.
At
last
the
Laird
of
Aston
(
being
in
Arms
with
some
of
his
Tenants
,
and
abroad
in
that
search
)
happened
on
him
:
He
had
been
one
of
his
followers
before
.
The
Marq.
of
Montross
taken
,
May
3.
by
the
Laird
of
Aston
,
In
that
place
he
had
continued
three
or
four
days
without
Meat
or
Drink
,
with
one
onely
man
in
his
company
.
The
Marquess
knowing
him
,
and
believing
to
finde
friendship
at
his
hands
,
willingly
discovered
himself
;
but
Aston
not
daring
to
conceal
him
,
and
being
greedy
of
the
reward
which
was
promised
to
the
Apprehender
by
the
Council
of
State
,
seized
upon
him
and
disarmed
him
.
'T
is
said
he
profered
great
sums
for
his
Liberty
;
which
being
in
vain
,
he
desired
to
dye
by
the
hands
of
those
that
took
him
,
rather
than
be
made
an
object
of
misery
and
shame
(
as
he
knew
very
well
he
should
)
by
his
enraged
Enemies
.
But
neither
of
his
desires
was
granted
,
but
in
place
of
them
a
strong
Guard
set
on
him
,
and
so
conveyed
to
David
Lesley
.
and
conveyed
to
David
Lesley
.
Straughan
having
atchieved
his
business
with
great
expedition
,
and
freed
the
State
from
this
much-feared
danger
,
returned
to
Edenburgh
,
leaving
the
rest
of
the
business
to
Lesley
and
Holborn
,
where
he
received
great
rewards
and
thanks
for
his
Eminent
Service
;
not
without
the
great
heart-burning
of
David
Lesley
,
who
seeing
a
rival
risen
up
to
his
honour
,
and
one
whom
he
lookt
upon
as
an
upstart
Souldier
,
have
so
great
success
,
fretted
not
a
little
.
Howsoever
,
forwards
he
moves
to
accomplish
the
rest
of
the
work
,
which
was
now
of
no
great
consequence
;
for
there
rested
nothing
within
the
Country
,
but
onely
the
Castle
of
Dumbath
,
Dumbath
-
Castle
yielded
to
the
Covenanters
.
which
being
out
of
all
hopes
of
relief
after
the
defeat
,
so
soon
as
they
were
perfectly
assured
thereof
by
some
Prisoners
they
knew
,
yielded
the
Garrison
.
The
Governour
was
prisoner
at
mercy
;
the
Souldiers
being
Dutch
,
were
upon
terms
to
return
homewards
.
There
was
nothing
else
to
be
done
,
save
the
reducing
of
the
Islands
,
and
the
Town
of
Kirkwall
in
Orkney
,
where
Colonel
Iohnson
and
Colonel
Harry
Graham
were
left
,
when
the
Marquess
passed
over
to
Cathnes
:
but
Montross
(
either
because
he
could
not
spare
any
Souldiers
,
or
because
he
expected
better
success
)
had
left
them
almost
naked
,
though
there
were
several
places
in
those
Isles
which
might
have
been
made
very
Tenable
.
Colonel
Iohnson
having
had
notice
of
the
defeat
,
with
those
that
were
with
him
,
took
shipping
,
and
returned
from
whence
he
came
;
so
did
Harry
Graham
likewise
,
else
both
of
them
had
tasted
of
the
same
sauce
which
their
General
did
.
Thus
Lesley's
Forces
entred
without
any
resistance
,
seized
upon
the
Arms
which
Montross
had
brought
thither
,
together
with
two
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
the
Queen
of
Swedens
present
;
the
little
Friggot
of
16
Guns
which
lay
in
Harbour
,
the
Master
of
her
being
gon
ashore
into
one
of
the
Islands
,
and
the
Company
seeing
the
event
of
the
business
,
revolted
,
and
brought
in
that
likewise
.
The
Victory
being
now
compleat
,
The
Covenanters
give
solemn
thanks
for
their
Victory
.
there
was
a
solemn
day
of
Thanksgiving
appointed
through
the
whole
Kingdom
,
Bonfires
,
Shooting
of
Ordnance
,
and
other
testimonies
or
joy
:
but
many
of
the
Gentry
who
had
been
under
his
Command
before
,
having
now
engaged
with
him
again
,
were
no
partakers
in
this
joy
.
For
some
of
his
Papers
being
taken
,
many
of
them
were
afterwards
discovered
,
and
suffered
in
their
Estates
.
The
Marquess
being
now
in
the
Custody
of
his
mortal
Enemies
,
from
whom
he
could
not
expect
the
least
favour
;
yet
exprest
a
singular
constancy
,
and
in
a
manner
a
carelessness
of
his
own
condition
.
Coming
to
his
Father-in-laws
house
,
the
Earl
of
Southesk
,
Montross
visits
his
Children
at
his
Father-in-laws
the
Earl
of
Southesk
.
where
two
of
his
Children
were
,
he
procured
liberty
from
his
Guard
to
see
them
;
but
neither
at
meeting
or
parting
could
any
change
of
his
former
countenance
be
discerned
,
or
the
least
expression
heard
which
was
not
suitable
to
the
greatness
of
his
spirit
,
and
the
same
of
his
former
actions
.
'T
is
Memorable
of
the
Town
of
Dundee
,
where
he
lodged
one
night
,
though
it
had
suffered
more
by
his
Army
than
any
else
within
that
Kingdom
,
yet
were
they
amongst
all
the
rest
so
far
from
insulting
over
him
;
that
the
whole
Town
testified
a
great
deal
of
sorrow
for
his
woful
condition
;
and
there
was
he
likewise
furnished
with
Cloaths
suitable
to
his
Birth
and
Person
.
Being
come
to
Leith
,
His
journey
to
Edenburgh
.
he
was
received
by
the
Magistrates
of
the
City
of
Edenburgh
;
and
staying
a
while
there
to
refresh
himself
,
he
was
afterward
led
towards
the
City
,
by
that
way
which
goes
betwixt
Leith
and
the
Water-gate
of
the
Abbey
,
and
with
him
all
the
Prisoners
of
quality
on
foot
,
betwixt
thirty
and
fourty
;
but
he
himself
had
the
favour
to
be
mounted
on
a
Cart-horse
.
He
is
mounted
on
a
Cart-horse
and
delivered
to
the
Executioner
;
Having
ended
this
part
of
his
journey
,
with
as
much
state
as
in
Triumphs
is
accustomed
to
be
,
he
was
met
at
the
end
of
the
Cannon-gate
by
some
other
Officers
,
and
the
Executioner
in
his
Livery-coat
,
into
whose
hands
he
was
delivered
.
There
was
framed
for
him
a
high
seat
in
fashion
of
a
Chariot
,
upon
each
side
of
which
were
holes
,
through
which
a
Cord
being
drawn
,
and
crossing
his
Brest
and
Arms
,
bound
him
fast
down
in
the
Chair
.
bound
with
Ropes
in
a
Chair
,
and
d●spitefully
used
The
people
pity
him
,
The
Executioner
(
being
commanded
so
to
do
)
took
off
the
Marquess's
Hat
,
and
put
on
his
own
Bonnet
;
and
the
Chariot
being
drawn
by
four
Horses
,
he
mounted
one
of
the
first
and
very
solemnly
began
to
drive
along
towards
the
Tol-Booth
.
The
people
who
were
assembled
in
great
multitudes
,
and
were
many
of
them
heretofore
very
desirous
to
see
this
spectacle
,
could
not
now
refrain
from
tears
;
and
those
who
had
heretofore
wished
him
all
misfortune
,
began
to
be
shaken
with
the
first
Scene
of
his
Tragedy
.
But
the
implacable
Ministry
having
him
now
at
their
mercy
,
but
the
Ministers
revile
him
.
could
never
be
satisfied
with
his
Calamities
:
they
reviled
him
with
all
possible
spite
,
objected
frequently
to
him
his
former
condition
,
and
his
present
misery
,
and
pronounced
heavy
judgements
against
him
.
Being
come
to
the
Tol-Booth
,
He
is
Imprisoned
in
the
Tol-booth
.
His
friends
not
suffered
to
visit
him
.
he
was
very
closely
shut
up
,
and
strong
Guards
set
upon
him
,
and
access
denied
to
him
;
no
,
not
his
Father-in-law
,
or
any
of
his
friends
suffered
to
come
nigh
him
.
There
he
was
a
considerable
time
,
the
Ministers
never
ceasing
to
exacerbate
his
misery
:
of
whom
one
being
asked
why
they
could
not
otherwise
be
satisfied
,
but
by
so
ignominious
handling
of
him
?
He
answered
,
They
knew
no
other
way
to
humble
him
,
and
bring
him
home
to
God
.
The
Parliament
having
notice
of
his
approach
to
Edenburgh
,
fearing
his
gallant
presence
might
gain
favour
among
the
people
(
which
the
Kirk-Ministers
thundred
at
afterwards
)
appointed
a
Committee
to
draw
up
a
Sentence
against
him
on
the
17
of
May
,
which
they
did
presently
:
The
first
part
about
his
entrance
we
have
already
seen
performed
;
The
Marquess
of
Montross
sentenced
to
die
by
a
Committee
of
Parliament
in
Scotland
.
the
latter
part
ran
thus
,
That
he
should
be
hanged
on
a
Gibbet
at
the
Cross
in
Edenburgh
until
he
died
,
his
History
and
Declaration
being
tied
about
his
Neck
,
and
to
hang
three
hours
in
publique
view
of
all
the
people
;
after
which
he
should
be
Beheaded
and
Quartered
,
his
head
to
be
fixt
upon
the
Prison-house
of
Edenburgh
,
and
his
Legs
and
Arms
over
the
Gates
of
the
Cities
of
Sterling
,
Glascow
,
Perth
,
alias
Saint
Johns-town
,
and
Aberdeen
:
And
in
case
●e
repented
(
whereby
the
Sentence
of
Excommunication
may
be
taken
off
by
the
Church
)
the
bulk
of
his
Body
should
be
buried
in
the
Gray-Friers
;
if
not
,
in
the
Borrow-moor
(
a
place
like
Tyburn
.
)
Some
Members
and
Ministers
sent
to
examine
him
.
He
refuseth
to
answer
them
.
It
was
seven
a
Clock
at
Night
before
he
was
entred
into
the
Prison
;
and
immediately
the
Parliament
met
,
and
sent
some
of
the
Members
and
some
Ministers
to
examine
him
;
but
he
refused
to
answer
any
thing
to
them
,
until
he
was
satisfied
upon
what
terms
they
stood
with
the
King
,
his
Royal
Master
:
which
being
reported
unto
the
Parliament
,
they
ceased
proceedings
against
him
until
Monday
,
and
allowed
their
Commissioners
to
tell
him
,
that
the
King
and
they
were
agreed
:
he
then
desired
to
be
at
rest
,
for
he
was
weary
with
a
long
Journey
;
and
said
,
The
Complement
they
had
put
upon
him
that
day
was
somewhat
tedious
.
The
next
day
(
being
Sunday
)
he
was
constantly
attended
by
Ministers
and
Parliament-men
,
who
still
pursued
him
:
he
told
them
,
They
thought
they
had
affronted
him
the
day
before
by
carrying
him
in
a
Cart
,
but
they
were
much
mistaken
;
for
he
thought
it
the
most
honourable
and
joyfullest
Cavalcade
that
ever
he
made
,
God
having
all
the
while
most
comfortably
manifested
his
presence
to
him
,
and
furnished
him
with
a
resolution
to
over-look
the
reproaches
of
men
,
and
to
behold
Him
,
for
whose
Cause
he
suffered
.
The
Chancellours
Speech
in
Parliament
against
the
Marquess
.
Upon
Monday
in
the
forenoon
he
was
brought
before
the
Parliament
,
and
after
the
delivery
of
a
long-penned
discourse
by
the
Chancellor
,
wherein
he
was
pleased
to
take
notice
of
his
miscarriages
against
the
first
Covenant
,
the
League
and
Covenant
,
his
Invasion
and
joyning
with
the
Irish
Rebels
,
and
blood-guiltiness
;
and
that
now
how
God
had
brought
him
to
just
punishment
:
He
desired
to
know
if
he
might
be
allowed
to
speak
for
himself
;
The
Marquess
of
Montrosses
Answer
in
Parliament
.
which
being
granted
,
he
said
,
Since
you
have
declared
unto
me
that
you
have
agreed
with
the
King
,
I
look
upon
you
,
as
if
his
Majesty
were
sitting
among
you
;
and
in
that
Relation
I
appear
with
this
Reverence
,
Bare-headed
:
My
care
hath
been
always
to
walk
as
became
a
good
Christian
and
a
Loyal
Subject
▪
I
engaged
in
the
first
Covenant
,
and
was
faithful
to
it
,
until
I
perceived
some
private
persons
under
colour
of
Religion
intended
to
wring
the
Authority
from
the
King
,
and
to
seize
on
it
for
themselves
;
and
when
it
was
thought
fit
,
for
the
clearing
of
honest
men
,
that
a
Bond
should
be
Subscribed
,
wherein
the
security
of
Religion
was
sufficiently
provided
for
,
I
subscribed
.
For
the
League
and
Covenant
,
I
thank
God
I
was
never
in
it
,
and
so
could
not
break
it
;
but
how
far
Religion
hath
been
advanced
by
it
,
and
the
sad
consequences
that
have
followed
it
,
these
poor
distressed
Kingdoms
can
witness
:
for
when
his
late
Majesty
had
by
the
blessing
of
God
almost
subdued
those
Enemies
that
rose
●p
against
him
in
England
,
and
that
a
Faction
of
this
Kingdom
went
in
to
the
assistance
of
them
▪
His
Majesty
gave
Commission
to
me
to
come
into
this
Kingdom
,
and
to
make
a
diversion
of
those
Forces
that
were
going
from
hence
against
him
.
I
acknowledged
the
Command
most
just
,
and
I
conceived
my self
bound
in
Conscience
and
Duty
to
obey
it
.
What
my
carriage
was
in
this
Country
,
many
of
you
may
bear
witness
;
disorders
in
any
Army
cannot
be
Prevented
,
but
they
were
no
sooner
known
than
punished
;
never
was
any
Blood
spilt
but
in
Battle
,
and
even
then
many
thousand
lives
have
I
preserved
;
and
as
I
came
in
upon
his
Majesties
Warrant
,
so
upon
his
Letters
did
I
lay
aside
all
Interests
,
and
retreated
.
And
for
my
coming
in
at
this
time
,
it
was
by
his
Majesties
Command
,
in
order
to
the
accelerating
of
the
Treaty
betwixt
Him
and
you
;
His
Majesty
knowing
,
that
when
ever
he
had
ended
with
you
,
I
was
ready
to
retire
upon
his
Call
.
I
may
justly
say
,
that
never
Subject
acted
upon
more
honorable
grounds
,
nor
by
a
more
Lawful
Power
,
than
I
did
in
this
Service
;
and
therefore
I
desire
you
to
lay
aside
prejudice
,
and
consider
me
as
a
Christian
,
in
relation
to
the
justice
of
the
Quarrel
;
as
a
Subject
,
in
relation
to
my
Royal
Masters
Command
;
and
as
your
Neighbour
,
in
relation
to
the
many
of
your
lives
I
have
preserved
in
Battle
:
And
be
not
too
rash
,
but
let
me
be
judged
by
the
Laws
of
God
,
the
Laws
of
Nature
and
Nations
,
and
the
Laws
of
this
Land
;
if
you
do
otherwise
,
I
do
here
Appeal
from
you
to
the
righteous
Iudge
of
the
World
,
who
one
day
must
be
both
your
Iudge
and
mine
,
and
who
always
gives
righteous
Iudgment
.
This
he
delivered
with
such
gravity
,
The
Chancellor
comands
the
Sentence
to
be
read
.
and
without
passion
,
as
was
much
admired
even
of
his
Enemies
.
After
which
the
Chancellour
commanded
the
Sentence
to
be
read
;
which
he
heard
with
a
settled
and
an
unmoved
Countenance
;
and
desiring
to
be
further
heard
,
was
presently
stopt
by
the
Chancellour
,
who
Commanded
he
should
be
presently
removed
back
again
to
prison
;
And
the
Marquess
to
be
conveyed
back
to
prison
.
where
he
was
no
sooner
come
,
but
the
Ministers
assault
him
afresh
,
aggravating
the
terrour
of
the
Sentence
,
thereby
to
affright
him
.
He
acknowledged
himself
much
beholding
to
the
Parliament
for
the
Honour
they
had
put
upon
him
,
saying
,
He
took
it
for
a
greater
honour
to
have
his
Head
stand
upon
the
Prison-gate
for
this
Quarrel
,
than
to
have
his
Picture
in
the
Kings
Bed-chamber
.
His
noble
behaviour
there
.
And
(
lest
his
Loyalty
should
be
forgotten
)
they
had
highly
honoured
him
,
in
designing
lasting
Monuments
to
four
of
the
chiefest
Cities
,
to
bear
up
his
Memorial
to
all
Posterity
;
wishing
he
had
had
flesh
enough
to
have
sent
a
piece
to
every
City
in
Christendom
,
to
witness
his
Loyalty
to
his
King
and
Country
.
His
Friends
were
not
suffered
to
come
neer
him
,
but
a
Guard
was
always
in
the
Chamber
with
him
,
insomuch
as
he
had
neither
time
nor
place
for
his
private
Devotions
,
but
in
their
hearing
.
The
next
day
being
the
21.
cloathed
in
a
Scarlet-cloak
richly
laced
with
Gold-lace
,
He
comes
to
the
Scaffold
in
rich
attire
.
he
was
brought
to
the
Scaffold
:
He
came
along
the
Streets
with
so
great
state
,
and
there
appeared
in
his
Countenance
so
much
Beauty
,
Majesty
,
and
Gravity
,
as
amazed
the
Beholders
;
and
many
even
of
his
Enemies
did
acknowledge
him
to
be
the
gallantest
Subject
in
the
World
.
But
because
all
his
Friends
and
Well-willers
were
debarred
from
coming
near
him
,
there
was
a
Boy
(
designed
for
that
purpose
on
the
Scaffold
)
who
took
his
last
Speech
;
which
was
to
this
effect
:
I
Am
sorry
if
this
manner
of
my
End
be
scandalous
to
any
good
Christian.
The
Marquess
of
Montross
his
Speech
on
the
Scaffold
.
Doth
it
not
often
happen
to
the
righteous
according
to
the
ways
of
the
righteous
?
doth
not
sometimes
a
just
man
perish
in
his
righteousness
,
and
a
wicked
man
prosper
in
his
malice
?
They
who
know
me
should
not
disesteem
me
for
this
;
many
greater
than
I
have
been
dealt
with
in
this
kind
:
yet
I
must
not
say
,
but
that
all
Gods
Iudgments
are
just
:
For
my
private
sins
,
I
acknowledge
this
to
be
just
with
God
,
I
submit
my self
to
him
;
but
in
regard
of
man
,
I
may
say
,
that
they
are
but
Instruments
,
God
forgive
them
,
I
forgive
them
:
they
have
oppressed
the
poor
,
and
vioiently
perverted
Iudgment
and
Iustice
,
but
he
that
is
higher
than
they
will
reward
them
.
What
I
did
in
this
Kingdom
,
was
in
obedience
to
the
most
just
Command
of
my
Sovereign
,
for
his
defence
in
the
day
of
his
distress
,
against
those
that
rose
up
against
him
.
I
acknowledge
nothing
,
but
fear
God
and
Honour
the
King
,
according
to
the
Commandments
of
God
,
and
the
Law
of
Nature
and
Nations
;
and
I
have
not
sinned
against
man
,
but
against
God
,
and
with
him
there
is
mercy
,
which
is
the
ground
of
my
drawing
near
unto
him
.
It
is
objected
against
me
by
many
,
(
even
good
People
)
that
I
am
under
the
Censure
of
the
Church
:
This
is
not
my
fault
▪
since
it
is
only
for
doing
my
Duty
,
by
obeying
my
Princes
most
just
Command
for
Religion
,
his
Sacred
Person
and
Authority
.
Yet
I
am
sorry
they
did
Excommunicate
me
,
and
in
that
which
is
according
to
Gods
Laws
,
without
wronging
my
Conscience
or
Allegeance
,
I
desire
to
be
relaxed
:
if
they
will
not
do
it
,
I
appeal
to
God
,
who
is
the
righteous
Iudge
of
the
world
,
and
who
must
,
and
will
,
I
hope
,
be
my
Iudge
and
Saviour
.
It
is
spoken
of
me
,
that
I
should
blame
the
King
(
God
forbid
;
)
for
the
late
King
,
he
lived
a
Saint
,
and
died
a
Martyr
;
I
pray
God
I
may
so
end
as
he
did
:
If
ever
I
should
wish
my
Soul
in
another
mans
stead
,
it
should
be
in
his
.
For
his
Majesty
now
living
,
never
people
I
believe
might
be
more
happy
in
a
King
:
His
Commands
to
me
were
most
just
:
in
nothing
that
he
promiseth
will
he
fail
.
He
deals
justly
with
all
men
,
I
pray
God
he
be
so
dealt
withal
,
that
he
be
not
betrayed
under
trust
,
as
his
father
was
.
I
desire
not
to
be
mistaken
,
as
if
my
carriage
at
this
time
in
relation
to
your
ways
were
stubborn
;
I
do
but
follow
the
light
of
my
own
Conscience
,
which
is
seconded
by
the
working
of
the
Spirit
of
God
that
is
within
me
:
I
thank
him
,
I
go
to
Heavens
Throne
with
joy
.
If
he
enable
me
against
the
fear
of
Death
,
and
furnish
me
with
courage
and
confidence
to
embrace
it
,
even
in
its
most
ugly
shape
,
let
God
be
glorified
in
my
end
,
though
it
were
in
my
damnation
.
Yet
I
say
not
this
out
of
any
fear
or
mistrust
,
but
out
of
my
Duty
to
God
,
and
Love
to
his
people
.
I
have
no
more
to
say
,
but
that
I
desire
your
Charity
and
Prayers
.
I
shall
pray
for
you
all
I
leave
my
Soul
to
God
,
my
Service
to
my
Prince
,
my
Good-will
to
my
Friends
,
and
my
Name
and
Charity
to
you
all
.
And
thus
briefly
I
have
exonerated
my
Conscience
.
Mark
the
horrib●●
unchristianity
of
the
Scotch
Kirk
.
Being
desired
to
pray
apart
,
he
said
,
I
have
already
poured
out
my
Soul
before
the
Lord
,
who
knows
my
heart
,
and
into
whose
hands
I
have
commended
my
Spirit
;
and
he
hath
been
pleased
to
return
to
me
a
full
assurance
of
peace
in
Iesus
Christ
my
Redeemer
;
and
therefore
if
you
will
not
joyn
with
me
in
prayer
,
my
reiterating
it
again
will
be
both
Scandalous
to
you
and
me
.
So
closing
his
eyes
,
and
holding
up
his
hands
,
he
stood
a
good
space
at
his
inward
Devotions
,
being
perceived
to
be
inwardly
moved
all
the
while
:
The
Marquess
gives
mo●y
to
the
Executioner
,
who
according
to
the
Sentence
hanged
his
Declaration
and
History
about
his
Neck
.
when
he
had
done
,
he
called
for
the
Executioner
,
and
gave
him
money
;
who
having
brought
unto
him
(
hanging
in
a
Cord
)
his
Declaration
and
History
,
hanged
them
about
his
Neck
,
when
he
said
,
Though
it
hath
pleased
his
Sacred
Majesty
that
now
is
,
to
make
him
one
of
the
Knights
of
the
most
Honourable
Order
of
the
Garter
,
yet
he
did
not
think
himself
more
honoured
by
the
Garter
,
than
by
that
Cord
and
Book
which
he
would
embrace
about
his
Neck
with
as
much
joy
and
content
,
as
ever
he
did
the
Garter
,
or
a
Chain
of
Gold
;
and
therefore
desired
them
to
be
tied
unto
him
as
they
pleased
.
When
this
was
done
,
and
his
arms
tied
,
he
asked
the
Officers
,
If
they
had
any
more
Dishonour
(
as
they
conceived
it
)
to
put
upon
him
,
He
is
hanged
on
a
Gibbet
.
he
was
ready
to
accept
it
.
And
so
with
an
undaunted
Courage
and
Gravity
suffered
according
to
the
Sentence
past
upon
him
.
Thus
fell
that
Heroical
Person
by
a
most
malicious
and
barbarous
sort
of
cruelty
,
but
—
Sequitur
ultor
à
tergo
Deus
,
there
is
a
Fury
at
hand
ready
with
a
Whip
of
Snakes
to
punish
this
Viperous
Brood
of
men
:
Cromwel
for
England
,
May.
For
Cromwel
having
been
secretly
called
for
over
from
Ireland
,
to
amuse
all
parties
(
both
the
Irish
who
trembled
at
his
presence
,
and
made
no
considerable
resistance
against
him
and
his
fortune
;
and
the
General
himself
at
home
,
who
expected
not
such
his
sudden
rivalship
to
his
Command
,
which
gave
him
no
time
for
mature
consideration
of
the
designe
;
the
Scots
,
who
though
allarmed
by
frequent
rumours
of
an
English
Invasion
,
yet
were
not
so
forward
in
their
Levies
,
as
having
assurance
of
Fairfax's
dissatisfaction
)
was
now
wasted
over
into
England
,
preventing
his
Letters
he
had
sent
to
the
States
to
know
their
express
pleasure
for
his
departing
that
Kingdom
;
which
before
we
leave
,
we
must
insert
some
omissions
.

Cromwels
cruelty
to
the
English

being
by
the
mutiny
of
his
Souldiers
(
the
Marquess
of
Ormonds
Regiment
)
which
he
Commanded
,
forced
to
render
himself
and
Officers
at
discretion
(
the
Garrison
being
the
Castle
before
mentioned
of
Gowran
,
accepting
of
life
from
Cromwel
,
and
refusing
to
fight
)
was
immediately
shot
to
death
,
one
Lieutenant
only
escaping
:
The
like
fate
suffered
a
Dutch
Colonel
,
one
Major
Syms
,
and
another
Lieutenant-Colonel
of
the
Lord
Inchiqueens
Loyal
Party
that
yet
adhered
to
him

Colonel
Wogan

that

who
had
been
so
constant
a
terrour
to
them
,
having
corrupted
or
converted
his
Keeper
Colonel
Phair's
Marshal
,
escaped
with
him
to
his
old
friends
,

reserv'd
to
the

by

to
be
a
further
plague
to
them
,
An
Embassador
from
Holland
.
in
that
&
another
Kingdom
&
place
,
as
we
shall
see
in
the
continuation
of
this
Chronicle
.
About
the
same
time
with
Cromwel
arrived
here
from
Holland
the
Lord
Ioachimi
,
in
quality
of
Embassador
from
the
States
General
,
sent
on
purpose
to
understand
the
condition
of
affairs
here
,
&
what
stability
this
Common-wealth
was
yet
grounded
upon
or
like
to
obtain
,
and
report
it
to
his
Superiors
.
Further
yet
in
Ireland
.
After
the
departure
of
Cromwel
,
in
the
Province
of
Vlster
,
where
the
Bishop
of
Cloghor
,
Emir
Mac
Mahon
was
Generalissimo
,
the
Irish
not
being
to
be
satisfied
till
the
Conduct
of
Affairs
was
wholly
left
to
themselves
,
having
gathered
an
Army
of
5000
Foot
and
600
Horse
,
was
ranging
that
Country
at
his
pleasure
,
having
so
ordered
and
interposed
his
Forces
,
that
Sir
Charles
Coot
the
President
of
Connaught
,
and
Colonel
Venables
who
Commanded
in
Chief
in
Vlster
for
the
Parliament
,
could
not
joyn
Forces
;
and
though
other
additions
had
been
made
to
Coot
,
with
which
they
had
faced
Finagh
,
and
that
part
of
that
Province
some
while
before
,
yet
durst
they
not
engage
till
Iune
;
on
the
second
of
which
Month
,
Cloghor
being
incamped
on
a
boggy
ground
within
half
a
mile
of
Sir
Charles
his
Leaguer
,
who
was
about
800
Horse
and
as
many
Foot
,
stood
and
faced
him
for
almost
four
hours
,
and
then
drew
over
a
Pass
,
wherein
Coot
fell
upon
his
Rear
with
250
Horse
,
and
charged
through
two
Divisions
of
Foot
,
and
had
routed
them
,
but
that
their
Horse
came
in
to
their
rescue
,
and
repelled
that
Party
:
but
Colonel
Richard
Coot
likewise
advancing
,
both
came
off
with
even
hand
,
and
so
the
enemy
over
Faggots
passed
another
way
.
This
was
but
a
Trial
of
Skill
;
but
on
the
18
of
Iune
,
Colonel
Fenwick
with
1000
having
joyned
with
Sir
Charles
,
Bishop
of
Cloghor
defeated
June
18.
by
Sir
Charles
Coot
.
Mortally
wounded
and
taken
with
his
Lieut.
Gen.
Hen.
Oneale
.
the
matter
came
to
a
final
decision
.
Cloghor
was
encamped
strongly
on
a
side
of
a
Hill
,
to
which
Coot
approached
;
the
Irish
courageously
descended
to
Battle
,
but
were
so
most
resolutely
received
,
that
in
an
hours
time
this
Mitred
General
was
defeated
,
himself
mortally
wounded
and
taken
,
with
his
Lieutenant-General
Henry
O
Neale
,
together
with
most
of
the
Officers
,
all
of
them
Irish
,
to
the
total
loss
of
that
Province
,
and
the
utter
ruine
and
destruction
of
that
Rebel-Party
that
began
the
War
,
and
continued
it
when
it
might
have
expired
by
the
closing
with
the
Marquess
of
Ormond
,
to
the
taking
of
Dublin
and
London-Derry
.
The
remaining
Irish
War
was
meerly
defensive
,
and
of
such
weak
dying
efforts
,
that
all
was
given
over
there
for
desperate
and
lost
:
and
who
cannot
,
must
not
,
here
acknowledge
the
unerring
certainty
of
Divine
Justice
upon
that
bloody
and
pitiless
people
?
Now
appeared
in
Print
,
Marchamount
Needham
the
Parliament-Droll
,
Author
of
a
scurrilous
Pamphlet
.
as
the
weekly
Champion
of
the
new
Common-wealth

to
bespatter
the
King
with
the
basest
of
scurrilous
raillery
,
one
Marchamount
Needham

under
the
name
of
Politicus
;
a
Iack
of
all
sides
,
transcendently
gifted
in
opprobrious
and
treasonable
Droll
,
and
hired
therefore
by
Bradshaw
to
act
the
second
part
to
his
starcht
and
more
solemn
Treason
;
who
began
his
first
Diurnal
with
an
Invective
against
Monarchy
and
the
Presbyterian
Scotch
Kirk
,
and
ended
it
with
an
Hosanna
to
Oliver
Cromwel
,
who
in
the
beginning
of
Iune
returned
by
the
way
of
Bristol
from
Ireland
to
London
,
Cromwel
returns
from
his
Conquest
in
Ireland
,
June
6.
and
was
welcomed
by
Fairfax
the
General
,
many
Members
of
Parliament
and
Council
of
State
at
Hounslo-heath
,
and
more
fully
complemented
at
his
Lodgings
,
and
in
Parliament
,
by
the
Thanks
of
the
House
,
and
the
like
significant
address
of
the
Lord
Mayor
,
&c.
of
London
,
being
lookt
upon
as
the
only
Person
,
to
the
Eclipse
and
diminution
of
his
Generals
Honour
,
whom
we
shall
presently
see
paramount
in
the
same
supreme
Command
.
Prince
Rupert
was
yet
in
the
Harbor
of
Lisbon
,
Prince
Rupert
blockt
up
in
Lisbon
.
whither
the
Parliament
had
sent
a
Fleet
to
fight
him
and
reduce
those
Ships
to
their
service
;
which
the
Prince
declining
,
and
the
King
of
Portugal
refusing
to
suffer
Blake
to
fall
on
in
his
Port
,
and
trom
his
Castles
shooting
at
some
of
the
Frigats
who
adventured
within
their
reach
;
a
Quarrel
arose
betwixt
that
King
and
this
State
,
whose
Men
of
War
seized
on
nine
Brazile-ships
as
they
were
passing
into
that
Harbour
.
The
Estates
of
Scotland
had
now
notice
of
the
Kings
present
coming
into
that
Kingdom
;
the
Earl
of
Dunfermling
,
Mr.
Murrey
,
and
Sir
William
Fleming
,
being
sent
before
by
the
King
to
acquaint
them
therewith
;
when
the
two
last
were
dispatcht
again
,
to
give
the
King
to
understand
the
exceptions
they
took
against
some
uncovenanted
Scotch
Lords
,
as
Hamilton
and
Lauderdail
,
and
other
English
Royalists
coming
over
with
Him
;
but
before
their
Arrival
the
King
was
shipt
,
having
newly
received
the
distastful
intelligence
of
the
Murther
of
his
faithful
Servant
the
Marquess
of
Montross
,
which
,
as
Cases
then
stood
,
He
was
forced
to
pass
by
,
having
expostulated
very
sorrowfully
thereof
with
the
Parliament
,
who
by
all
means
endeavoured
to
smooth
and
colour
that
perpetration
with
the
Vows
of
their
Allegiance
;
in
order
whereunto
,
they
said
,
they
Executed
that
Nobleman
,
and
some
others
with
him
,
viz.
Sir
Iohn
Vrrey
,
Colonel
Spotswood
,
Ogilby
,
and
Sibbald
:
a
very
inauspicious
entrance
and
beginning
of
a
right
understanding
between
his
Majesty
and
them
,
that
was
cemented
with
such
Loyal
Blood
.
The
King
ships
himself
for
Scotland
from
Schevelt
,
June
.
The
King
(
as
was
said
before
)
shipt
himself
at
Terbeyden
,
a
Village
neer
the
Hague
,
aboard
a
Friggot
(
an
excellent
Sailor
)
Commanded
by
young
Van
Trump
,
old
Van
Trump
attending
the
King
on
board
,
and
charging
his
Son
to
do
his
utmost
devoir
for
the
Kings
preservation
,
and
with
Tears
parting
(
for
there
was
some
intelligence
of
the
English
Fleet
lying
to
intercept
him
:
)
there
were
also
two
other
Men
of
War
in
Company
,
who
carried
his
Goods
and
Retinue
,
well
provided
,
and
alike
able
for
Fight
and
Defence
.
With
these
Ships
He
had
not
long
been
under
sail
,
but
a
Tempest
drove
Him
upon
one
of
the
Danish
Islands
unknown
to
the
Fleet
,
but
where
they
were
most
humanely
and
civilly
Treated
,
and
whence
(
after
a
tedious
Navigation
)
they
Arrived
at
the
Spey
in
the
North
of
Scotland
(
Colonel
Graves
and
Captain
Titus
alone
of
the
English
attending
on
his
person
)
just
as
the
English
King-catchers
were
set
sail
from
thence
,
under
their
Admiral
Popham
,
His
Majesty
complemented
by
the
Nobility
of
Scotland
.
to
seek
out
after
him
.
At
His
Arrival
He
was
Complemented
in
great
State
by
the
Nobility
,
and
brought
to
Saint
Iohnstons
,
and
so
to
Sterling
,
being
presented
in
the
way
with
very
great
gifts
,
according
to
the
ability
of
that
Nation
,
who
were
now
rising
generally
in
Arms
;
and
a
Party
of
Horse
under
Major
Cuningham
,
sent
to
visit
the
English
Borders
,
and
to
get
intelligence
;
for
the
Messenger
they
had
sent
to
London
(
Colonel
Gray
)
was
secured
,
(
at
which
time
Mr.
Prin
was
laid
up
in
Dunster-Castle
)
and
dismissed
with
a
Guard
back
again
unheard
,
an
Answer
being
then
in
preparation
to
be
sent
by
a
General
,
a
more
honourable
and
more
powerfully-attended
Officer
.
Fairfax
layes
down
his
Commission
,
June
26.
That
Command
of
course
was
devolved
upon
the
Lord
Fairfax
,
and
he
desired
to
accept
it
;
but
he
being
inscrupled
by
some
of
the
Presbyterian
Ministers
(
who
were
highly
incensed
at
this
War
)
as
it
was
cunningly
foreseen
by
Oliver
and
his
Party
,
who
never
endeavoured
his
satisfaction
)
and
pretending
a
reluctancy
from
the
obigations
of
the
National
Covenant
to
engage
against
their
Brethren
,
totally
declined
it
,
transferring
the
long-expected
Military
Supremacy
by
a
Vote
of
the
Parliament
to
Cromwel
,
who
very
zealously
accepted
the
Charge
,
and
with
all
readiness
prepared
for
the
Expedition
;
which
makes
the
second
Trophy
or
Garland
of
these
strangely
and
wonderfully
prosperous
Free-States
of
England
.
The
Army
marches
into
Scotland
,
July
22.
On
the
12
of
Iune
it
had
been
resolved
that
the
Army
should
Advance
Northward
,
but
it
was
the
middle
of
Iuly
before
they
Arrived
there
;
for
on
the
21
of
that
Month
Cromwel
quartered
at
Berwick
,
from
whence
he
sent
a
Letter
and
Declaration
to
the
Committee
of
Estates
,
fraught
with
hypocritical
canting
expressions
;
which
the
said
Committee
supprest
,
returning
answer
that
they
would
reply
to
it
by
Messengers
of
their
own
.
And
lest
any
of
their
people
should
be
deluded
by
the
like
fair
words
,
they
made
it
Treason
for
any
person
to
Correspond
with
the
English
,
and
fell
a
driving
all
their
Cattle
and
Provisions
in
the
parts
next
adjacent
to
them
,
beyond
Edenborough
.
Cromwel's
Army
was
now
reckoned
16000
men
effective
,
with
which
he
came
first
to
Mardington
his
Head-quarters
,
Iuly
25.
thence
to
Hadington
,
within
12
miles
of
Edenborough
,
on
the
Hills
whereabout
the
Scots
had
Encamped
themselves
,
declining
to
Engage
till
their
additional
Forces
were
come
off
the
Hig●-lands
.
On
the
25
of
Iuly
the
English
advanced
,
and
attempted
one
of
the
said
Hills
,
A
light
Skirmish
and
Encounter
at
Mussleborough
,
July
29.
where
a
small
party
of
the
Scots
were
,
and
beat
them
presently
off
;
when
a
party
of
Scotch
Horse
fell
in
their
Rear
with
such
fury
and
vigour
,
that
they
wholly
disordered
it
,
and
with
Reserves
and
fresh
Bodies
seconded
and
pursued
this
advantage
:
which
being
perceived
by
Major-General
Lambert
and
Colonel
Whaley
,
who
had
the
Rear-guard
,
they
couragiously
Repulsed
them
to
their
Trenches
;
in
which
action
Lambert
had
his
Horse
shot
under
him
,
was
r●n
through
the
Arm
with
a
Lance
,
and
was
taken
Prisoner
,
but
was
rescued
by
one
Lieutenant
Empson
.
This
past
,
and
the
Army
wet
and
weary
on
their
way
to
Muscleborough
.
Betwixt
3
and
4
in
the
Morning
,
another
party
of
some
1500
Horse
,
the
flower
of
the
Army
,
being
veterane
Blades
,
under
the
Command
of
Colonel
Montgomery
and
Straughan
,
fell
with
great
fury
,
and
more
exact
valour
upon
them
betwixt
sleeping
and
waking
,
and
brought
a
terrible
fright
and
dismay
upon
the
whole
Army
,
Charging
almost
clear
through
upon
the
Sands
;
but
returning
with
their
Prisoners
,
were
set
upon
by
fresh
Troops
under
Colonel
Okey
in
good
order
,
and
forced
to
double
their
speed
home
to
their
Camp
,
having
lost
100
men
(
to
the
same
number
in
the
former
attempt
)
and
some
of
their
Officers
slain
and
wounded
,
but
came
off
otherwise
with
Honour
enough
,
giving
the
Invaders
little
hopes
of
so
easie
a
Victory
and
Conquest
,
as
the
Fates
had
decreed
to
them
,
and
their
invincible
Fortune
.
At
Home
the
Parliament
was
busie
about
their
High
Court
of
Iustice
,
and
making
orders
for
the
Composition
of
Royalists
,
excluding
all
such
who
within
six
weeks
(
from
their
last
limitation
some
time
before
)
should
not
effectually
have
finished
it
;
and
in
order
thereunto
,
they
Debated
upon
an
Act
August
the
6
(
being
pressed
for
Money
to
carry
on
this
great
undertaking
abroad
)
for
the
sale
of
Delinquents
Lands
;
and
Voted
so
many
Estates
to
be
sold
,
as
would
make
up
security
for
200000
l.
and
that
an
Act
should
likewise
be
Passed
for
doubling
on
the
Purchases
of
those
Estates
of
Deans
and
Chapters
,
&c.
And
into
this
black
list
the
Earl
of
Derby
was
now
put
,
and
other
unfortunate
Royalists
:
of
which
hereafter
.
In
the
Month
of
Iune
Doctor

Dr.
Levens
hanged
in
●
Cornhill
.
formerly
a
Doctor
of
the
Civil-law
,
who
had
all
along
served
the
King
,
was
apprehended
in
his
Lodgings
,
being
set
by
the
State-spies
,
and
several
Commissions
from
the
King
,
and
such
papers
found
with
him
;
whereupon
he
was
brought
before
a
Court-Martial
,
and
there
Sentenced
to
be
Hanged
:
which
was
accordingly
Executed
on
the
13
day
of
Iuly
,
against
the
Old-Exchange
in
Cornhill
,
where
he
Triumpht
in
his
suffering

See
we
next
a
piece
of
their
Justice
upon
an
inanimate
Statue
,
the
old
Kings
Effigies
in
the
Old-Exchange
,
and
the
same
with
his
Fathers
at
the
West-end
of
Saint
Pauls
:
the
first
they
had
ridiculously
(
in
imitation
of
their
more
scelerate
cruelty
)
decollated
;
but
ashamed
of
that
impotent
Revenge
,
had
now
ordered
to
be
taken
out
of
its
Nich
altogether
,
and
under
the
Basis
thereof
these
words
were
decreed
to
be
inscribed
:
The
Kings

down
Aug.
—
Exit
Tyrannus
Regum
ultimus
,
Anno
Libertatis
Angliae
restitutae
primo
,
Annoque
Domini
1648.
Which
stood
a
long
while
,
a
Testimony
of
their
Guilt
,
and
a
memorial
to
Strangers
of
their
impudent
and
bold-fac'd
Treason
;
which
gave
not
onely
Truth
,
but
even
Time
it self
the
lye
:
For
never

Myn
Heer
Ioachim

Resident
here
about
the

from

the
Parliament
(
because
the

refused
to
give
Audience
to

sent
home

limited
his
stay
here

time

at

departure
gratified
him
with
the
free
transport
of
some
able
Horses

expressing
likewise
their
desire
of
Amity

Rebellion
in
France

offering
aid
to

City

in
Arms

Soveraign

hoping
to
make
all
the
world
follow
their
humour
,

that
,
as
their
Libellers
said
,
the
Government
thereof
might
return
to
that
Form

Constitution
it
obtained
most
universally
,
before
the
Ambition
and
Tyranny
of
Single
Persons
,
within
1600
years

had
invaded

overthrown
it

followed
the

Fortune

gave
the
Parliament
such
hopeful
assurance
of
a
sudden
plenary
Conquest
,
that
they
were
thinking
of
transporting
some
of
their
Foot
thence
into
the
West
of
Scotland
,
where
Sultan
Cromwel
was
now
practising
,
hoping
to
gain
Colonel
Ker
and
Straughan
(

kinde
of

Several
jealousies
,
Animosities
among
the
Scots
.
animosities
and
discontents
,
were
now
reigning
among
the
Scots
,
more
supremely
than
the
Kings
Authority
:
the
Kings
friends
wholly
discountenanced
and
laid
by
,
even
Presbyterians
themselves
no
way
understanding
one
another
;
some
willing
to
give
the
King
His
Rights
without
more
stipulation
and
Engagements
;
others
of
them
thinking
they
could
not
sufficiently
debase
His
Authority
,
and
that
it
should
wholly
depend
on
the
Kirk
;
and
to
that
purpose
several
irreverend
Postulata
were
put
to
him
,
beyond
the
Tenour
of
the
Treaty
at
Breda
;
and
in
fine
,
that
party
prevailed
so
,
as
that
the
Army
then
on
foot
was
in
effect
but
very
little
for
the
Kings
Interest
and
Service
,
but
was
wholly
at
the
disposal
of
the
rigid
Covenanters
.
This
was
not
unknown
to
Cromwel
,
Cromwel
makes
use
of
them
.
who
thereupon
never
ceased
Scribling
and
Divulging
of
the
English
Armies
good
intentions
to
the
people
of
Scotland
;
With
whom
they
have
no
Quarrel
,
but
against
a
Malignant
powerful
Faction
,
who
had
brought
in
the
King
to
the
disturbance
of
the
Publike
National
Peace
and
Frendship
betwixt
the
two
People
;
and
that
he
was
willing
by
Conference
to
give
and
receive
satisfaction
therein
,
otherwise
to
decide
the
Iustice
of
that
Cause
by
Battle
.
To
which
when
no
Answer
would
be
returned
,
he
advanced
on
the
10
of
August
(
having
recruited
his
Army
by
those
Provisions
that
were
plentifully
brought
by
sea
,
the
Fleet
sailing
an
even
pace
with
him
,
and
observing
the
same
Signals
)
on
the
West-side
of
Edenburgh
up
to
the
Line
of
the
Scotch
Army
,
playing
his
Cannon
,
which
were
likewise
Answered
,
and
Encamped
on
Pencland-hills
a
little
above
Edenburgh-Castle
;
intending
to
march
for
Queens-ferry
,
but
the
Passes
were
so
difficult
,
and
other
considerations
intervened
,
that
he
proceeded
no
further
.
Next
morning
came
a
Letter
to
the
General
,
with
a
Declaration
from
the
Estates
and
Kirk
,
by
sound
of
Trumpet
,
Declaring
that
the
Quarrel
being
now
stated
,
and
the
King
ready
to
consent
to
their
demands
,
they
were
resolved
to
put
it
to
the
Issue
:
and
that
the
world
may
see
what
that
was
like
to
prove
,
it
will
be
worthy
the
memory
of
those
transactions
,
to
particularize
them
in
this
short
abstract
.
In
the
Declaration
of
the
Kirk
(
or
Commissioners
of
the
General
Assembly
)
to
Cromwel
as
the
state
of
the
Quarrel
,
they
most
undutifully
set
forth
(
to
the
giving
up
the
merit
of
the
Cause
)
That
the
King
stumbling
at
,
and
refusing
to
Subscribe
unto
the
Declaration
offered
him
by
the
Committee
of
Estates
,
and
Commissioners
of
the
Kirk
,
concerning
His
former
carriage
,
and
resolution
for
the
future
,
is
cause
of
just
grief
and
offence
,
in
reference
to
the
Cause
of
God
,
and
the
Enemies
and
Friends
thereof
.
The
peremptory
resolution
of
the
Kirk
of
Scotland
.
And
therefore
they
do
Declare
,
that
they
do
not
,
nor
will
not
Espouse
any
Malignant
Party
or
Quarrel
,
but
that
they
Fight
meerly
upon
their
former
grounds
and
Principles
,
in
the
Cause
of
God
and
the
Kingdom
;
nor
will
they
own
the
King
,
nor
his
Interest
,
further
than
be
owns
and
prosecutes
the
Cause
of
God
,
&c.
Concluding
that
they
will
Answer
Oliver
Cromwel
's
Letters
,
and
clear
themselves
from
the
Falshoods
contained
therein
,
as
if
they
owned
the
late
Kings
proceedings
,
and
were
resolved
to
prosecute
His
present
Majesties
Interest
upon
any
other
terms
than
as
above
mentioned
.
And
this
peremptory
Kirk-resolution
was
Signed
by
A.
Ker
,
then
one
of
the
chief
Colonels
of
the
Scotch
Army
.
To
this
Cromwel
takes
very
good
occasion
to
reply
,
Cromwel
causeth
the
Kirk-Declaration
to
be
read
to
his
Army
.
and
help
out
their
Sophistry
with
some
more
of
his
own
;
and
to
let
the
Scots
see
of
how
neer
affinity
the
Kirk
and
the
Congregational
way
were
in
this
respect
to
the
King
,
he
permitted
,
nay
,
caused
their
Declaration
to
be
publikely
read
to
his
Army
;
putting
the
Scotch-remonstrants
upon
these
Dilemma's
;
namely
,
That
their
professed
disowning
of
Malignants
,
and
receiving
and
assisting
their
Head
and
Chief
,
in
whom
all
their
hope
lies
,
cannot
consist
in
common
sence
or
prudence
,
(
reciting
(
as
evidence
thereof
)
the
late
Popish
affairs
in
Ireland
,
and
Prince
Rupert
's
raving
at
Sea
)
That
suppose
He
(
the
King
)
should
give
security
of
his
turning
,
it
must
be
some
other
way
,
than
by
a
few
and
faigned
formal
submissions
;
for
it
is
his
necessity
and
his
old
Complices
that
Counsel
him
to
that
Compliance
:
Nor
is
it
possible
for
the
Scots
(
in
the
way
that
they
are
now
in
)
to
be
able
to
secure
themselves
or
England
;
and
concludes
,
that
upon
this
Quarrel
,
if
they
be
ready
to
fight
,
his
Army
attends
there
for
that
purpose
;
and
therefore
the
Scots
cannot
complain
for
want
of
an
opportunity
.
These
pestilent
and
alike
dangerous
Papers
,
(
which
in
effect
seemed
rather
an
Agreement
than
cause
of
quarrel
between
the
Antagonists
)
were
warily
considered
by
some
,
even
of
themselves
,
who
loved
the
King
,
as
of
sudden
and
desperate
consequence
to
His
Majesties
Person
and
Government
,
so
highly
vilified
and
disregarded
;
so
that
a
Declaration
(
to
the
liking
of
the
Kirk
)
was
extorted
from
him
,
that
there
might
no
cause
of
pretence
remain
,
either
for
their
obstinate
carriage
towards
Him
,
or
ready
Compliance
with
the
Enemy
.
Hereupon
the
English
Army
advanced
again
;
and
though
several
Bodies
of
Scotch
Horse
appeared
,
yet
they
presently
withdrew
upon
their
approach
:
which
that
it
might
not
be
altogether
frustrate
,
Cromwel
in
sight
of
them
caused
a
Garrison
(
called
Red-house
,
Red-house
stormed
.
within
a
mile
and
a
half
of
Edenburgh
)
to
be
storm'd
,
wherein
were
taken
60
Foot
,
and
the
House
made
Tenable
,
and
manned
by
the
English
;
while
the
Scots
(
being
necessitated
for
Provisions
,
and
to
joyn
with
some
other
Forces
from
Fife
and
the
West
)
had
marched
two
miles
beyond
Edenburgh
,
The
Armies
face
one
another
.
having
a
great
Hill
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
City
and
a
River
on
the
other
,
so
that
it
was
very
hazardous
to
Engage
them
,
being
drawn
up
in
Battalia
,
the
great
Guns
playing
on
both
sides
.
In
which
posture
and
attendance
the
Scots
and
English
stood
,
and
neither
changed
ground
,
till
Provisions
growing
exceeding
scarce
,
Cromwel
retreated
to
Pencland-hills
(
Lambert
having
had
some
discourse
and
conference
with
Straughan
,
&c.
about
the
former
equity
of
their
Cause
,
de
lana
Caprina
)
and
thence
with
some
difficulty
(
by
reason
of
bad
weather
)
to
Mussleborough
for
provant
,
and
thence
a
few
days
after
to
Dunbar
,
The
English
retreat
to
Dunbar
.
with
intention
by
shipping
or
any
other
way
to
get
into
England
,
being
now
closely
followed
by
the
Scoth
Army
in
their
Rear
;
who
rightly
guessing
the
English
to
be
weakned
with
long
marches
and
want
of
Victual
,
made
cock-sure
of
a
total
Victory
,
which
snatching
at
before
it
was
ripe
for
them
,
fearing
nothing
more
than
that
they
would
escape
them
;
they
saw
themselves
miserably
frustrated
,
and
their
despairing
Enemy
,
a
most
insulting
Conquerour
.
On
Sunday
at
night
,
the
first
of
September
,
the
English
(
making
at
most
not
above
12000
men
)
came
to
Dunbar
,
whither
the
Scots
(
keeping
close
at
their
Heels
)
came
also
and
drew
up
their
whole
Army
,
consisting
of
between
20
and
24
thousand
men
,
upon
a
high
Hill
within
a
mile
of
the
Town
,
to
the
great
amazement
at
first
of
the
English
;
but
despair
adding
resolution
to
their
Courage
,
they
presently
drew
out
in
Battalia
,
in
the
Corn-field
neer
adjoyning
,
and
so
stood
all
night
,
being
Encamped
upon
a
neck
of
Land
,
whose
breadth
was
not
a
mile
and
a
half
from
Sea
to
Sea
;
so
that
they
were
by
Land
quite
cooped
up
.
In
confidence
therefore
of
an
assured
Victory
,
David
Lesley
who
Commanded
this
Kirk-Army
in
chief
,
began
to
advance
as
early
as
the
Sun
next
morning
,
and
drew
down
the
Hill
,
fixing
at
the
foot
thereof
,
and
about
four
a
clock
in
the
afternoon
brought
down
his
Train
,
there
being
a
great
Ditch
betwixt
both
the
Armies
.
That
night
the
English
(
by
Command
)
placed
themselves
close
to
the
Ditch
,
and
placed
their
Field-pieces
likewise
in
every
Regiment
,
that
they
might
be
in
a
readiness
in
case
the
Enemy
should
attempt
any
thing
upon
them
,
who
were
vainly
expecting
terms
of
a
Rendition
;
boasting
that
they
had
them
in
a
worle
Pound
than
the
King
had
the
Earl
of
Essex
at
Lestithiel
in
Cornwall
.
The
Ministers
having
their
Voice
in
the
Council
of
War
held
by
this
Kirk-Army
,
most
earnestly
urged
the
Engagement
,
and
Fight
,
(
against
those
that
were
of
opinion
to
let
the
English
escape
,
and
not
venture
the
fortune
of
War
upon
an
Enemy
made
desperate
,
of
which
there
were
so
many
sad
examples
)
saying
,
that
God
had
delivered
Agag
(
meaning
Cromwel
)
into
their
power
;
and
if
they
let
him
go
,
would
require
him
at
their
hands
.
On
Tuesday-morning
at
four
of
the
Clock
,
a
Brigade
of
the
English
Army
drew
down
to
possess
themselves
of
a
Pass
upon
the
Road
between
Edenburgh
and
Berwick
;
which
being
had
,
they
might
with
the
more
ease
and
advantage
make
their
way
home
,
and
in
order
thereto
,
pass
over
to
the
Enemy
,
to
fall
upon
them
.
Dunbar
fight
,
Sep.
3.
This
Brigade
consisted
of
three
Regiments
of
Horse
,
of
Major-General
Lambert's
,
Commissary-General
Whaley's
,
and
Colonel
Lilburn's
,
and
two
of
Foot
.
This
gave
the
Scots
a
great
Alarm
,
and
a
sore
dispute
happened
about
the
Pass
,
which
lasted
above
an
hour
,
the
great
Guns
playing
in
the
mean
time
against
both
the
Bodies
.
At
length
that
stout
Brigade
gained
and
possessed
the
Pass
,
much
gallantry
and
bravery
being
shewed
on
both
sides
.
(
This
Pass
lay
at
Copperspeth
in
the
English
way
homewards
;
to
impede
which
,
they
had
drawn
off
their
best
Horse
upon
the
right
Wing
to
receive
the
English
,
whose
Word
was
,
The
Lord
of
Hosts
;
theirs
,
The
Covenant
.
The
Enemy
charged
hereupon
with
their
Lanciers
,
so
that
the
Horse
gave
way
a
little
,
but
immediately
Rallied
▪
and
the
Foot
advancing
to
second
them
,
the
Scots
were
charged
so
home
,
that
they
put
them
presently
to
the
rout
,
it
being
about
six
a
clock
in
the
morning
;
the
left
Wing
of
Horse
without
striking
one
stroke
following
the
same
way
:
the
Foot
seeing
this
rout
and
flight
of
the
Horse
,
and
not
able
in
any
order
by
reason
thereof
to
Engage
,
were
all
of
a
sudden
so
confused
and
confounded
,
that
without
any
resistance
or
offer
of
Engagement
,
they
threw
down
their
Arms
and
fled
,
giving
the
English
the
full
pursuit
of
them
above
eight
miles
beyond
Haddington
.

The
full
Contents
of
all
which
,
was
signified
in
a
Letter
from
the
General
in
his
usual
strain
of
devout
zeal
,
tending
very
much
to
strengthen
the
Independent
against
the
Presbyterian
at
home
,
and
the
advancement
of
a
Commonwealth
to
the
imitation
of
the
rest
of
the
World
;
the
latter
part
thereof
,
for
the
severe
aspect
it
had
towards
the
Ministry
,
in
favour
of
Anabaptists
,
with
which
the
Army
swarmed
,
I
have
here
inserted
.
—
The
Ministers
of
Scotland
have
hindered
the
passage
of
those
things
(
meaning
his
Affection
to
the
good
people
of
Scotland
)
to
those
to
whom
we
intended
them
,
Cromwel
's
Letter
after
the
fight
.
and
now
we
see
that
not
onely
the
deceived
people
,
but
some
of
the
Ministers
(
three
or
four
)
are
fallen
in
the
fight
.
This
is
the
great
hand
of
the
Lord
,
and
worthy
of
the
consideration
of
those
who
taking
into
their
hands
the
Instrument
of
a
foolish
Shepherd
,
to
wit
,
medling
with
worldly
policies
,
and
mixtures
of
Earthly
powers
,
to
set
up
that
which
they
call
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
(
which
is
neither
it
,
nor
if
it
were
it
,
would
such
be
found
effectual
to
that
end
)
and
neglect
,
or
trust
not
to
the
Word
of
God
,
the
Sword
of
the
Spirit
,
which
is
alone
able
and
powerful
to
that
end
,
and
when
trusted
to
,
will
be
found
effectually
able
,
&c.
This
is
HUMBLY
offered
for
their
sakes
(
who
have
lately
turned
too
much
aside
)
that
they
might
return
again
to
Preach
Iesus
Christ
,
&c.
and
then
no
doubt
they
will
discern
and
finde
your
protection
and
encouragement
.
Which
Humble
offer
was
to
command
a
strict
Inquisition
upon
them
,
as
those
most
probable
to
obstruct
the
new
Model
and
his
future
greatness
.
The
glory
of
this
field
,
though
it
were
by
his
own
party
ascribed
to
his
Valour
,
yet
it
laid
a
great
blemish
on
his
Conduct
:
and
indeed
the
rescue
of
his
honour
is
principally
to
be
referred
to
Colonel
Monke
,
General
Monk
chiefly
conc●●●'d
in
the
honour
of
this
field
.
whose
company
he
had
obliged
in
this
Expedition
,
(
being
very
understanding
in
the
choice
,
and
as
subtile
in
the
shaking
off
his
Friends
and
Familiars
.
)
He
had
newly
had
a
Regiment
conferred
on
him
,
made
up
of
recruits
and
other
imp●rfect
Comp●●●es
,
and
did
now
at
the
Generals
request
draw
and
designe
the
fight
,
and
embattle
the
Army
,
and
seconded
that
deliberate
speculation
,
with
forwardest
of
action
;
for
which
indeed
most
of
the
Officers
were
very
praise-worthy
.
After
the
fight
,
Cromwel
used
some
catching
courtesies
to
the
wounded
Souldiers
,
and
the
feebler
sort
of
Prisoners
;
but
the
poor
Highlanders
,
The
Highlanders
sold
for
Slaves
.
and
such-like
,
paid
dear
for
that
partial
kindness
shewed
their
Country-men
,
as
many
as
with
difficulty
lived
being
sold
for
slaves
.
Nor
were
their
Lords
and
Superiours
at
home
in
much
better
condition
of
minde
,
being
confounded
and
distracted
at
this
strange
and
most
unexpected
disaster
.
The
Kirk
immediately
ran
to
her
old
trick
of
humiliation
,
assigning
their
vain
confidence
in
the
arm
of
flesh
,
to
be
the
sole
and
most
just
cause
of
this
their
defeat
;
not
considering
their
disloyal
arrogance
to
,
and
most
unnatural
diffidence
in
their
Leige-Lord
and
Soveraign
,
was
that
accursed
thing
,
which
God
made
inquisition
after
in
this
blood
,
though
they
had
hidden
it
,
and
most
hypocritically
vail'd
it
under
the
covering
of
the
Covenant
.
These
were
the
rigid
Kirk-men
,
whose
peevish
obstinacy
this
remarkable
success
of
the
English
was
so
far
from
reclaiming
,
that
in
the
conclusion
they
totally
prevaricated
from
the
interest
of
their
Nation
.
Others
the
more
sober
,
being
taught
by
this
Lesson
what
it
was
to
set
up
and
maintain
parties
and
factions
when
the
Enemy
was
at
the
door
,
A
union
of
parties
endeavoured
by
the
Scots
.
and
so
Victoriously
potent
,
were
for
the
perfect
reconciling
and
uniting
them
;
which
necessary
,
most
incumbent
,
and
pressing
affair
,
was
yet
unhappily
hindred
by
even
those
men
themselves
,
who
when
they
began
to
consider
how
they
must
part
with
that
Supream
and
extraordinary
power
they
had
so
long
Usurped
,
made
so
many
nice
difficulties
,
by
their
Cavils
and
Disputes
about
the
admission
of
the
Royal
party
,
that
Cromwel
had
fixed
such
●ooting
in
their
Country
,
that
made
it
a
difficult
task
to
them
to
keep
any
part
for
themselves
.
The
Royalists
onely
,
and
the
King
himself
,
by
all
manner
of
tenderness
and
condescentions
,
studying
the
common
preservation
,
and
suffering
any
thing
from
these
,
though
uncertain
friends
,
rather
than
expect
it
from
so
implacable
an
Enemy
.
And
in
some
sort
it
may
be
said
,
that
this
overthrow
did
much
serve
to
conciliate
both
interests
:
for
the
Kirk
could
not
now
defend
it self
with
its
own
Arms
,
and
was
constrained
to
accept
of
help
from
those
they
had
rejected
;
so
that
the
Earl
of
Cleaveland
,
Lord
Wilmot
,
and
other
English
Royalists
(
we
shall
mention
the
Scotch
by
and
by
)
who
were
upon
their
departure
,
(
none
but
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
and
Colonel
Massey
,
Graves
and
Titus
being
permitted
to
stay
)
now
continued
there
;
so
that
the
common
voice
then
was
,
that
the
King
had
lost
nothing
in
the
discomfiture
of
that
Army
of
the
Kirk
.
The
same
day
in
the
afternoon
presently
after
this
blow
,
the
Scots
quitted
Leith
and
Edenburgh
,
whither
old
Leven
got
by
nine
of
the
clock
,
Lesley
at
two
,
and
had
packt
up
their
Bag
and
Baggage
,
and
by
Queens-ferry
marched
to
Sterling
.
Cromwel
marched
fast
after
them
,
and
the
next
day
quartered
at
the
two
places
aforesaid
,
with
a
resolution
to
fortifie
Leith
;
Lieutenant-Colonel
Paul
Hobson
being
made
Governour
thereof
,
and
Colonel
Overton
of
Edenburgh
with
his
Brigade
to
secure
it
,
while
the
Army
marched
towards
Sterling
,
having
received
recruits
by
shipping
from
Dunbar
.
Upon
occasion
of
this
Victory
,
several
Ministers
in
London
,
of
the
Presbyterian
way
,
were
summoned
to
appear
,
Sept.
18
,
before
the
Committee
of
the
Militia
,
The
Parliament
at
Westminster
appoint
a
Thanksgiving
day
.
according
as
Cromwel
had
intimated
in
the
before-recited
Letter
,
and
charged
to
observe
the
Thanks-giving
day
the
Parliament
had
appointed
for
this
their
great
success
in
Scotland
.
On
the
14
of
September
,
General
Cromwel
marched
out
of
Edenburgh
with
7
days
Provision
,
Cromwel
marcheth
for
Sterling
,
Sep.
14.
for
the
Scots
had
not
left
any
manner
of
subsistance
betwixt
that
and
Sterling
,
and
on
the
15
reached
beyond
Linlithgow
,
but
through
bad
weather
was
constrained
to
retreat
thither
that
night
for
shelter
:
the
16
to
Falkirk
,
within
a
mile
of
Sterling
,
from
whence
fresh
Letters
of
the
old
strain
were
sent
into
that
City
,
but
the
Trumpeter
was
not
suffered
to
enter
;
whereupon
Order
was
given
for
a
Storm
,
but
upon
better
thoughts
of
the
danger
,
forborn
,
so
that
on
the
19
of
September
they
returned
to
Linlithgow
,
(
whither
came
General
Dean
to
him
from
shipboard
,
being
newly
arrived
at
Leith
in
the
Speaker
Frigot
)
and
fortified
the
Town
,
being
the
Road-way
betwixt
Edenburgh
and
Sterling
,
and
a
sufficient
Garrison
was
left
to
maintain
it
;
and
so
on
the
22
the
English
returned
to
Edenburgh
,
where
Colonel
Whaley
had
offered
the
Ministers
fled
to
the
Castle
leave
to
come
out
and
Preach
in
their
several
Parishes
;
but
they
refused
.
Now
was
the
time
of
the
Independent
Ecclesiastical
Government
:
for
the
Parliament
would
no
longer
halt
between
two
opinions
.
Liberty
of
Conscience
Enacted
in
England
.
An
Act
was
now
published
for
relief
of
Religious
and
Peaceable
people
,
from
the
rigour
of
former
Acts
of
Parliament
,
whereby
the
compulsive
Authority
of
Presbytery
,
and
its
appurtenances
of
Lay
Elders
,
was
quite
annihilated
,
and
the
Separatists
and
Sectaries
were
the
onely
Church
countenanced
then
in
London
;
who
to
make
themselves
more
considerable
,
and
in
grateful
acknowledgment
to
the
Parliament
,
raised
one
Regiment
of
Horse
,
The
Sectaries
raise
an
Army
.
and
another
of
Foot
,
of
well-affected
persons
,
to
be
ready
upon
all
occasions
for
defence
of
the
Commonwealth
,
and
marched
in
good
equipage
through
the
City
to
Hide-park
,
being
then
made
up
three
Regiments
of
Foot
,
and
two
of
Horse
,
to
the
number
of
8000.
being
led
by
Colonel
,
then
made
Major-General
Harrison
:
Col.
Harrison
.
made
Maj.
Gen.
Several
other
recruits
for
the
Army
were
now
drawn
out
of
Colonel
Barkstead's
Regiment
in
the
Tower
,
and
new
men
raised
in
divers
Counties
for
the
same
service
.
The
Duke
of
York
was
now
at
the
Hague
,
The
Duke
of
Yoak
at
the
Hague
.
from
whence
he
went
to
Breda
,
whereabout
at
a
Town
called
Longstraet
in
Brabant
,
His
Brother
the
Prince
of
Aurange
was
raising
of
some
Troops
,
designed
as
it
was
thought
for
Scotland
,
to
be
commanded
by
the
Duke
;
from
whence
a
while
after
he
passed
to
the
Rhyne
in
Guelderland
,
accompanied
with
some
English
Noble-men
,
and
Sir
George
Ratcliff
,
Sir
Iohn
Byron
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Berkley
,
and
thence
returned
to
the
Hague
,
where
the
Lords
Iermyn
and
Seymor
,
with
Colonel
Progers
,
left
him
with
the
Piercy
,
(
the
Lord
Culpeper
taking
his
journey
into
the
Dutchy
of
Cleve
:
)
the
Lord
Cottington
,
and
Sir
Edward
Hide
,
were
at
the
same
time
at
Madrid
in
Spain
,
negotiating
the
Kings
affairs
at
that
Court
;
where
finding
nothing
but
shews
and
temporary
Counsels
in
relation
to
any
assistance
from
thence
,
they
resolved
to
depart
.
The
Lord
Goring
was
likewise
newly
come
into
the
Low
Countries
.
Prince
Rupert
having
disengaged
himself
of
the
English
Fleet
at

,
Prince

Nov.
that
had
long

him
up

being
now
at

coast
of
Spain
,
on
the
beginning
of
November
,
where
at
Velos
and
Malaga
he
had
burnt
five
or
six
English
ships

advice
hereof
was
presently
given
to
General
Blake

then
with
the

who
on
the
3
and
4
of
November
,
with
some
of
his
said
ships
,
first
mastered
the
Robuck

another
of
the
Princes

named
the
Black
Prince

of
44
Guns

being
ready
to

demanded
of
the

promised
to
be
delivered

as
a
pledge
of
that
respect

now
manifesting
to

to

,
and
took
an
English
ship
called

Marmaduke
,
laden
from
Archangel
in
Russia
to
Legorn
,
with
Caveer
and
Hides
of
a
great
value
,
and
with
her
sailed
into
Toulon
,
and
there
exposed
her
to
sale

and
●ook
up
their
remaining
part
of
Winter
in
that
station
:
In
requital
of
which
e●tertainment
,
the
Parliament
made
seizure
of
several
ships
,
both
of
War
and
Merchandise
,
belonging
to
the
French
Nation
.
But
before
this
loss
,
came
a
greater
to
the
King
;
for
it
pleased
God
on
the
16
of
September
to
lessen
the
number
of
that
sorrowful
Family
,
by
the
death
of
the
Princess
Elizabeth
,

Elizabeth
dieth
at
Carisbroke
-
Castle
:
is
buried
in
Newport
.
who
died
at
Carisbroke-Castle
;
having
lain
sick
a
fortnight
:
she
first
complained
of
her
Head
,
after
her
coming
from
Bowls
with
her
Brother
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
;
and
though
little
care
was
taken
there
,
the
place
affording
no
learned
Physician
,
yet
Dr.
May●rn
sent
down
some
fitting
Cordials
;
but
her
grief
was
irremediable
:
In
October
she
was
buried
in
the
Church
of
Newport
,
the
Mayor
and
Aldermen
attending
her
to
her
Grave
.
This
was
seconded
with
the
death
of
the
Prince
of
Aurange
,
who
some
while
before
having
had
several
contests
with
the
Burgermasters
of
some
of
the
chief
Cities
of
Holland
,
and
had
designed
the
seizing
of
Amsterdam
,
in
order
to
the
accomplishing
his
intentions
of
reducing
the
stubborness
of
some
of
the
principal
there
to
their
obedience
,
in
the
discussing
and
conclusion
of
that
affair
,
as
he
was
Hunting
neer
Arnhem
,
a
destemper
seized
him
,
which
turning
to
the
Small
Pox
,
and
a
Flux
of
putrified
blood
falling
upon
his
Lungs
,
Prince
of
Aurange
died
Octb.
27.
presently
carried
him
away
,
on
the
17
of
October
,
not
without
suspition
of
Poison
;
leaving
behind
him
the
Princess
Royal
neer
her
time
,
who
to
the
great
joy
of
the
Low
Countries
,
was
deliv●red
of
a
young
Prince
on
the
5
of
November
,
as
a
cordial
to
that
immoderate
grief
Her
Highness
and
her
Family
took
from
this
sad
providence
;
the
Prince
being
the
most
sincere
and
absolute
friend
his
late
and
present
Majesty
found
in
the
greatest
difficulties
of
their
affairs
.
The
War
in
Ireland
went
on
prosperously
still
with
the
Parliament
,
the
success
being
very
much
facilitated
by
the
misunderstanding
and
divisions
that
were
among
the
Catholicks
and
the
Protestant
Loyal
party
there
,
Divisions

in
so
much
that
the
Lord
Ormond
the
Lieutenant
was
not
regarded
among
them
,
nor
he
able
through
this
means
to
make
any
head
against
Ireton
,
then
left
Deputy
in
that
Kingdom
;
so
that
little
of
any
memorable
action
passed
in
the
field
till
the
expiration
of
the
Summer
,
at
which
time
Ireton
intending
to
besiege
Limrick
,
one
of
the
strongest
Cities
in
Ireland
,
marched
from
Waterford
,
and
made
a
compass
into
the
County
of
Wicklow
,
which
being
stored
with
plundered
Cattle
,
furnished
him
with
1600
Cows
for
provision
in
that
Leaguer
,
and
so
marched
to
Athlo●e
in
hopes
to
gain
it
;
but
finding
the
Bridge
broke
,
and
the
Town
on
this
side
burnt
,
he
left
that
,
and
took
two
other
Castles
,
and
the
Bur
on
the
same
side
,
and
presently
clapped
down
before
Limrick
,
having
marched
150
miles
(
and
in
some
Counties
30
miles
together
,
and
not
a
house
or
living
creature
to
be
seen

▪
The
Marquess
Clanrickard
(
to
whom
the
Military
power
was
by
general
consent
devolved
,
as
being
a
Papist
,
and
a
Native
of
most
Antient
and
Noble
Extraction
,
and
by
the
very
good
liking
of
the
Marquess
of
Ormond
,
who
had
had
large
experience
of
his
exemplary
fidelity
to
the
King
and
the
English
interest
,
ever
since
the
very
first
Rebellion
in
1641
)
having
notice
of
the
Enemies
being
at
Athlone
,
marched
with
3000
men
,
to
whom
joyned
afterwards
young
Preston
late
at
Waterford
,
presently
to
the
relief
of
it
,
if
any
thing
should
have
been
attempted
;
and
passing
the
Shanon
,
having
notice
of
Ireton's
quitting
Athlone
,
took
the
two
Castles
again
,
and
laid
siege
to
the
Bur
,
where
two
great
Guns
had
been
left
by
the
English
.
To
the
relief
whereof
likewise
Colonel
Axtel
(
having
fac'd
them
before
,
but
now
reinforced
)
marched
with
a
resolution
to
Engage
,
being
in
all
some
2500
men
:
whereupon
the
Marquess
Clanrickard
quitted
the
Siege
,
and
retreated
to
Meleke
Island
,
bordering
upon
the
Shanon
,
into
which
there
was
but
one
Pass
,
and
a
Bog
on
each
side
:
On
the
25
of
October
,
a
little
before
night
,
Axtel
made
a
resolute
attempt
upon
them
,
and
after
a
sharp
disp●te
beat
them
from

entred

deserted

,

▪
so
that
what
by
the
Sword
and
the
River
,
one
half
of
that
Army
perished
:
On
the
English
side
,
Captain
Goff
and
a
hundred
more
were
killed
:
the
Marquess
was
himself
not
present
,
but
was
gone
upon
a
designe
against
the
Siege
at
Limerick
,
which
advanced
very
slowly
.
The
next
day
the
Irish
quitted
all
the
Garrisons
they
had
taken
,
and
fired
th●m
;
whereupon
Ireton
drew
from
Limerick
,
and
took
in
the
st●o●g
Castle
of
Neanagh
in
low
Ormond
,
and
so
retreated
to
his
Winter-quarters
a●
Kilkenny
in
November
.
These
untoward
events
and
misfortunes
one
upon
the
neck
of
another
,
together
with
the
displacency
and
dissatisfaction
among
themselves
,
The
Marq.
of
Ormo●●
,
and
Lord
Inchiqueen
,
resolved
to
depart
out
of
Ireland
,
Nov.
made
the
Lord
Ormond
despair
of
retriving
His
Majesties
interest
in
that
Kingdom
without
forrain
assistance
,
and
therefore
he
resolved
to
depart
;
and
signified
his
intentions
accordingly
to
the
Council
of
of
the
Irish
,
who
after
some
arguments
and
intreaties
of
his
further
stay
,
did
at
last
humbly
and
sorrowfully
take
leave
of
him
,
rendring
him
all
expressions
of
thanks
and
honour
for
those
unwearied
Services
he
had
done
his
Country
,
and
passed
several
Votes
in
record
thereof
,
desiring
his
Lordship
to
excuse
those
many
failures
which
evil
times
and
strange
necessities
had
caused
in
them
,
and
desiring
him
to
be
their
Advocate
to
His
Majesty
,
and
to
other
Princes
,
to
get
some
aid
and
supplies
from
them
,
to
the
defence
of
that
gasping
Realm
,
that
now
strugled
with
its
last
Fate
.
About
the
beginning
of
December
the
Marquess
took
shipping
in
a
little
Frigat
called
the
Elizabeth
,
of
28
Tuns
and
4
Guns
,
and
set
sail
from
Galloway
,
followed
by
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
,
Colonel
Vaughan
,
the
Noble
Colonels
Wogan
and
Warren
,
and
some
20
more
persons
of
Honour
,
intending
for
France
,
Scilly
,
or
Iersey
,
but
happily
landed
at
St.
Malos
,
in
France
in
Ianuary
;
whence
they
went
to
Paris
,
and
gave
the
Queen-Mother
an
account
of
that
Kingdom
.
Thence
the
Marquess
of
Ormond
removed
to
Flanders
,
and
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
into
Holland
,
and
came
to
Amsterdam
;
the
Valiant
Wogan
taking
the
first
opportunity
in
Scilly
,
in
order
to
his
further
service
of
the
King
in
Scotland
,
where
he
first
manifested
his
Zeal
and
gallantry
to
the
Royal
Cause
.
The
noise
of
these
lucky
Atchievements
,
had
made
most
of
the
Neighbouring
Princes
consider
a
little
further
and
more
regardfully
of
this
Commonwealth
,
more
especially
such
whose
Trade
by
Sea
might
be
incommodated
by
their
Naval-force
,
which
now
Lorded
it
in
gallant
Fleets
upon
the
adjoyning
Seas
.
The
first
whom
this
danger
prevailed
upon
,
was
the
King
of
Portugal
Iohn
the
4.
whose
Fleet
(
laden
with
Sugar
from
Brasile
)
General
Blake
had
met
with
,
and
for
his
entertainment
of
Prince
Rupert
with
his
Fleet
(
now
newly
taken
and
dispersed
)
brought
away
9
of
them
into
the
River
of
Thames
,
where
they
were
delivered
to
the
Commissioners
for
Prize-goods
,
then
newly
established
by
Authority
of
Parliament
(
upon
which
score
the
State
received
in
few
years
many
hundred
thousand
pounds
,
and
was
cheated
of
almost
as
much
)
whose
names
were
,
Blackwel
,
Blake
,
Sparrow
;
and
upon
the
Dutch-War
others
particularly
named
for
that
very
Affair
,
because
of
its
continual
Employment
.
In
the
Month
of
December
therefore
he
sent
hither
his
Embassador
,
An
Embassador
from
Portugal
to
the
new
States
.
Dec.
who
landed
at
●he
Isle
of
Wight
,
and
gave
notice
to
the
Council
of
State
of
his
Arrival
,
who
(
instead
of
a
better
complement
)
sent
him
a
safe
Conduct
for
his
Journey
to
London
,
there
being
then
open
Hostility
between
the
two
Nations
,
for
that
the
King
of
Portugal
,
to
satisfie
himself
of
his
damages
sustained
in
his
Sugar-fleet
,
had
sei●●d
all
the
English
Merchants
goods
in
Lisbon
.
On
the
11
of
December
,
he
had
Audience
before
a
Committee
of
Parliament
(
attended
with
the
Master
of
the
Ceremonies
and
20
of
his
own
retinue
)
in
the
House
of
Lords
;
which
he
at
first
refused
to
accept
,
as
being
a
Diminution
to
his
Masters
Greatness
;
but
at
last
was
forced
to
accept
of
the
Lord-Commissioner
Whitlock
,
Major-General
Harrison
,
Sir
Henry
Vane
,
Thomas
Challoner
,
and
others
,
being
appointed
thereunto
.
He
delivered
his
Credentials
,
which
were
to
the
Parliament
of
England
,
and
made
an
excellent
Rhetorical
Harangue
,
setting
forth
the
Constant
Friendship
betwixt
both
Kingdoms
,
and
the
Civilities
they
had
received
formerly
and
of
late
from
the
English
,
and
desiring
that
the
late
mis-understanding
might
occasion
no
further
breach
thereof
,
but
that
a
firm
and
new
League
might
be
ratified
as
formerly
.
He
had
answer
,
that
the
Committee
would
report
his
Message
to
the
Parliament
:
and
so
after
a
mutual
Salutation
upon
the
Embassadors
rising
from
his
Chair
,
he
withdrew
with
the
same
attendance
.
But
the
reason
he
had
no
solemner
Reception
,
was
the
pride
and
opimonastry
the
States
had
of
themselves
,
by
the
Courtships
and
flattering
Insinuations
of
the
Spanish
Kings
Embassador
,
who
had
likewise
desired
Audience
of
them
,
and
came
with
a
most
welcome
acknowledgement
of
their
Commonwealth
;
and
it
was
a
reciprocal
kindness
to
him
,
not
to
allow
the
Portugal
(
his
pretended
Rebel
,
and
a
much
less
potent
Prince
)
the
said
Grandeurs
and
Legatory
Honours
,
considering
besides
the
uninterrupted
amity
that
had
yet
been
maintained
by
the
Spaniard
.
On
the
16
of
December
,
therefore
,
Don
Alonzo
de
Cardenas
,
who
had
lain
Leiger
Embassador
in
the
Kings
time
throughout
the
War
,
The
Spanish
Embassador
likewise
acknowledg'd
them
a
Free-State
,
Decem.
was
with
all
State
received
to
Audience
in
the
Parliament-house
,
he
having
delivered
his
Credentials
to
the
Speaker
,
which
were
directed
[
Ad
Parliamentum
Reipublicae
Angliae
]
and
Conducted
back
again
with
large
protestations
of
friendship
,
and
good
correspondence
on
their
part
to
be
inviolately
observed
.
During
these
Forrain
Agencies
,
the
New
State
was
Alarmed
with
an
Insurrection
in
Norfolk
,
An
Insurrection
in
Norfolk
:
where
some
hundreds
of
men
were
gathered
together
,
Declaring
for
King
Charles
the
second
:
but
the
County-Horse
quartering
at
Lyn
,
and
a
Troop
of
Rich's
men
that
were
neer
at
hand
(
being
there
before
)
having
some
intelligence
of
the
designe
,
Suppressed
.
presently
dispersed
them
,
most
flying
into
Lincolnshire
;
and
saved
the
London-Forces
the
trouble
of
a
long
Journey
,
who
were
then
on
their
way
.
A
High
Court
of

To
try
these
Insurrectors
,
a
High

was
Erected
by
the

at
Norwich

the
Members

,
A
memorable
accident
at
Oxford
.
a
very
remarkable
instance
of
the
Justice
of
Heaven
(
the
Highest

)
deserves
mention
.
One
Anne

in
Oxfordshire
,
being
supposed
to

constantly
affirmed

with
over-working
her self
by

fell
in
Travel

and
not
knowing
what
the
matter
might
be
,
went
to
the
House
of

,
and
with
some
straining
,
the
Childe

not
above
a
span-long

and
of
what
Sex
not
to
be
distinquished
)
fell
unawares
(
as
she
all
along
affirmeth

Now
there
appearing
the

the
Anatomy-Reader
in
that
University
.
When
they
opened
the
Coffin
to
prepare
the
Body
for
Dissection
,
they
perceived
some
small
ratling
in
her
Throat
;
and
a
lusty
Fellow
standing
by
,
thinking
to
do
an
act
of
Charity
,
stamped
upon
her
Breast
and
Belly
.
Doctor
Petty
,
Mr.
Willis
of
Christ-Church
,
and
Mr.
Clerk
of
Magdalen-Colledge
,
presently
used
means
,
and
opening
a
Vein
,
laid
her
in
a
warm
Bed
,
and
caused
one
to
go
into
Bed
to
her
;
and
continued
the
use
of
divers
Remedies
,
respecting
her
senselessness
,
Head
,
Throat
,
and
Brest
;
so
that
it
pleased
God
within
14
hours
she
spoke
,
and
the
next
day
talked
and
prayed
very
heartily
,
and
was
in
a
hopeful
way
of
perfect
health
:
whereupon
the
Governour
presently
procured
her
a
Reprieve
;
thousands
of
people
coming
to
see
her
,
and
magnifying
the
just
providence
of
God
in
asserting
her
Innocency
of
Murther
.
After
two
or
three
days
of
her
recovery
,
when
Doctor
Petty
heard
she
had
spoken
,
and
suspecting
that
the
Women
about
her
might
suggest
unto
her
to
relate
of
strange
Visions
and
Apparitions
to
have
been
seen
by
her
in
that
time
wherein
she
seemed
dead
(
which
they
had
begun
to
do
)
having
caused
all
to
depart
the
room
but
the
other
Gentlemen
of
the
Faculty
,
she
was
asked
concerning
her
sense
and
apprehensions
during
that
time
she
was
Hanged
.
At
first
she
spake
somewhat
impertinently
,
talking
as
if
she
had
been
now
to
suffer
;
and
when
they
spake
unto
her
of
her
miraculous
deliverance
from
so
great
sufferings
,
she
answered
,
That
she
hoped
that
God
would
give
her
patience
,
and
the
like
.
Afterward
,
when
she
was
better
recovered
,
she
affirmed
,
and
doth
still
,
that
she
neither
remembereth
how
her
Fetters
were
knocked
off
,
how
she
went
out
of
the
Prison
,
when
she
was
turned
off
t●e
Ladder
,
whether
any
Psalm
was
sung
or
not
,
nor
was
she
sensible
of
any
pain
as
she
can
remember
.
Another
thing
observable
is
,
that
she
came
to
her self
as
if
she
had
awakened
out
of
a
Sleep
,
not
recovering
the
use
of
speech
by
slow
degrees
,
but
in
a
manner
all
together
,
beginning
to
speak
just
where
she
had
left
off
on
the
Gallows
.
I
have
thought
this
occurrence
no
way
unworthy
of
a
Remembrance
in
this
Chronicle
,
but
very
fit
to
be
transmitted
to
Posterity
,
for
Gods
Glory
,
and
Mans
Caution
in
Judging
and
punishing
.
Several
Acts
passed
the
Parliament
this
Ianuary
;
Several
Acts
of
Parliament
Passed
.
as
namely
,
for
continuance
of
the
Committee
for
the
Army
,
and
Treasurers
at
War
;
for
the
Receiving
and
Issuing
of
the
several
sums
of
Money
appointed
to
be
received
and
paid
,
by
vertue
of
their
Act
for
the
raising
of
120000
pounds
per
mensem
,
for
4
Months
,
to
Commence
the
28
of
Decemb.
1650.
for
the
Maintenance
of
the
Army
,
&c.
Another
Act
passed
for
Importation
of
Bullion
,
with
the
usual
priviledges
,
and
to
have
free
passage
and
protection
without
any
seizure
upon
any
pretence
whatsoever
;
(
which
was
very
well
cautioned
)
and
another
against
Forced
and
Stolen
Marriages
,
Enabling
Commissioners
of
the
Great
Seal
to
Issue
Commissions
of
Delegates
in
case
of
pretended
Marriage
;
and
lastly
,
one
for
taking
away
the
Fee
of
Damage-clear
,
or
Damna
Clericorum
,
from
the
first
of
Ianuary
1650.
Not
to
omit
in
this
place
,
that
Sir
Iohn
Stawell
was
now
the
third
time
before
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
.
From
the
Gown
pass
we
to
the
Sword
.
The
Progress
of
Cromwel
in
Scotland
.
The
English
Army
in
Scotland
,
not
being
able
to
effect
any
thing
against
the
main
Army
of
the
Kings
that
lay
on
Sterling-side
,
resolved
to
be
doing
with
a
party
that
then
lay
in
the
West
of
Scotland
,
under
the
Command
of
Colonel
Ker
and
Stra●ghan
,
with
whom
Cromwel
had
maintained
an
open
intercourse
,
and
had
profered
them
a
Cessation
;
driving
at
this
,
to
take
them
off
,
and
subdivide
the
Nation
in
several
parties
:
and
the
effect
of
his
Papers
taxing
the
Scots
with
the
admission
of
the
King
upon
the
old
Malignant
score
,
did
operate
as
he
projected
;
for
thereupon
out
comes
a
Declaration
or
Remonstrance
from
these
Western
Fellows
,
The
Trayterous
Western
Remonstrance
of
some
Scots
,
full
of
saucy
and
Treasonable
Language
,
which
accordingly
was
Voted
both
by
the
Commissioners
of
the
Kirk
,
and
the
Committee
of
Estates
,
to
be
scandalous
and
seditious
:
Sir
Iames
Stuart
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Cheisly
,
and
one
Mr.
Leviston
(
who
seemed
to
countenance
it
)
were
strictly
watched
,
and
Straughan
taken
and
made
Prisoner
in
Dunbarton
,
and
after
in
Cathnes-Castle
,
whence
he
escaped
,
and
came
over
to
the
English
at
Edenburgh
:
but
't
was
more
the
sacred
hunger
of
Gold
than
Zeal
for
Religion
,
made
him
first
betray
his
King
,
and
his
Country
after
:
and
we
shall
see
all
Cromwel's
Proselytes
of
that
Nation
,
both
Dundass
,
Warreston
,
and
Giffin
,
to
love
nothing
so
much
as
the
Mammon
of
Presbytery
.
Straughan
thus
removed
,
Major-General
Lambert
was
sent
to
prevail
with
Ker
,
either
by
blows
or
words
;
the
latter
being
thought
as
feasible
as
the
former
:
and
accordingly
on
the
last
of
November
,
having
difficulty
found
and
passed
a
Ford
over
Hamilton-River
,
Ker
got
notice
of
it
,
and
resolutely
fell
into
the
Major-Generals
Quarters
at
a
Town
of
that
name
;
but
the
Horse
being
in
a
readiness
to
receive
him
,
he
lost
a
hundred
men
,
had
his
Hand
almost
cut
off
,
and
was
taken
Prisoner
;
Ker
defeated
and
taken
Prisoner
.
and
the
rest
of
his
party
,
being
5
Regiments
of
Horse
,
two
whereof
were
the
Earl
of
Cassels
and
Kirconbrights
,
pursued
as
far
as
Ayre
,
where
Commissary-General
Whaley
was
now
left
to
Command
in
chief
in
those
Western-parts
.
Cromwel
had
marched
with
his
Army
this
way
as
far
as
Glasgow
in
October
;
but
understanding
or
dreading
the
Enemy
would
come
and
relieve
Edenburgh-Castle
with
Provisions
and
another
Governour
(
being
in
Treaty
with
the
present
for
a
sum
of
Money
)
he
forthwith
retired
;
having
there
took
and
Garrisoned
two
Houses
,
while
Colonel
Whaley
took
in
Dalkeith
and
another
nest
of
Moss-Troopers
:
yet
his
coming
thither
hindred
Major-General
Mountgomery
from
marching
into
those
parts
,
to
reduce
Ker
likewise
to
his
obedience
to
the
King
.
Edenburgh-Castle
had
been
Besieged
some
Months
and
upwards
,
with
little
loss
on
either
side
,
save
that
the
Great
Guns
from
the
Castle
did
some
mischief
in
Edenburgh-streets
,
and
one
Captain
Hamilton
was
shot
in
the
Head
with
a
Musquet
as
he
was
viewing
the
Castle
,
and
the
Morter-pieces
made
semblance
of
great
terrour
and
annoyance
to
the
Besieged
;
a
Mine
was
likewise
carried
on
some
60
foot
,
the
Stone
being
cut
all
the
way
;
but
then
they
could
proceed
no
further
,
being
come
to
the
Rock
whereon
the
Castle
stands
:
nevertheless
the
Derby-shire-Miners
(
being
12
in
number
)
did
what
they
could
to
proceed
,
the
Enemy
throwing
Pitch
and
Flax
,
and
other
combustible
stuff
into
the
Works
.
At
last
the
personated
Hostility
came
to
a
period
;
and
Dundass
old
Levens
Son-in-law
pretending
want
of
Water
,
came
to
a
Parley
;
and
having
premised
a
colourable
request
of
10
days
time
,
to
send
to
the
Committee
of
Estates
,
by
whom
he
said
he
was
intrusted
,
which
he
knew
was
to
be
denied
;
and
after
several
Missives
betwixt
Cromwel
and
Him
,
concluded
the
rendition
of
that
most
important
place
to
the
Kings
Service
,
Edenburgh
-
Castle
yielded
Dec.
24.
in
these
Articles
agreed
on
betwixt
Major
Abernethy
Dundasses
man
,
and
Captain
Henderson
on
one
side
,
and
Colonel
Monke
and
Lieutenant-Colonel
White
on
the
other
.
(
It
was
always
before
called
the
Maiden
,
it
may
henceforth
be
called
the
Prostitute
-
Castle
.
)
The
Articles
were

follow
.
The

as
they
shall
appoint
.

be
made
for
all
that
had
Goods
in
the

,
to

or
send
to

and
receive
them
.
5.
All
sick
Officers
and
Souldiers
,
as
well
such
as
hurt
(
in
reputation
)
to
have
liberty
to
stay
in
Edenburgh
,
and
the
English
to
provide
Horses
and
Waggons
for
the
Governour
and
other
Officers
,
and
Hostages
to
be
given
on
the
Scots
part
for
performance
.
There
were
found
in

Col.
Fenwick
mad●
Gove●nour
〈◊〉
,
and
of
Leith
for
the
Parliament
.
Colonel
Fenwick
was
presently
upon
the
Surrender
made
Governour
of
this
and
Leith
.
Sir
Arthur
Haslerig
and
Mr.
Scot
were
present
at
the
Rendition
thereof
,
and
then
departed
,
their
work
being
done
;
which
that
it
may
the
better
appear
for
a
piece
of
the
vilest
Treachery
any
Scot
ever
committed
(
though
Cromwel
ascribes
it
in
his
Letter
to
the
Speaker
to
the
alone
wisdom
of
God
,
beyond
all
humane
power
and
accomplishment
)
take
this
account
from
the
lovers
themselves
of
this
Treason
at
Edenburgh
.
The
greatest
want
they
had
was
of
Beer
;
but
as
for
Oatmeal
,
Butter
,
Fresh
Water
,
and
Salt
Meat
,
they
had
enough
.
The
Master
Gunner
told
me
,
that
when
our
Guns
were
a
drawing
to
the
Batteries
,
he
had
so
placed
his
Peices
that
ours
could
not
possibly
have
been
planted
without
great
loss
;
but
when
he
prepared
to
give
fire
,
he
was
forbidden
by
the
Governour
upon
pain
of
death
.
His
man
Abernethy
went
often
out
of
the
Castle
upon
pretence
of
getting
Intelligence
;
(
but
it
was
to
hold
it
with
Cromwel
:
)
sure
it
is
,
that
Dundass
and
he
and
some
others
were
a
little
wiser
,
and
went
not
over
the
Water
as
they
had
made
Conditions
,
some
of
th●se
that
did
being
Imprisoned
(
the
Court
and
Camp
being
sadly
affected
with
this
loss
.
)
The
Provost
of
Edenburgh
,
Sir
James
Stuart
,
is
in
Town
,
but
keeps
private
,
lest
the
Wives
in
the
streets
should
abuse
him
as
they
did
Straughan
and
Ker
at
their
coming
hither
:
the
Lord
Warreston
,
who
came
as
he
pretended
for
the
Records
,
is
not
yet
returned
,
but
stays
in
Town
,
for
he
cares
not
to
go
back
.
He
and
the
rest
of
that
Remonstrant
Tribe
are
Summoned
to
come
to
Parliament
;
Colonel
Dundass
,
Straughan
▪
and
Captain
Giffan
,
with
Abernethy
,
Swinton
and
Andrews
,
were
else
to
be
Excommunicated
,
and
Declared
Traytors
,
which
was
done
,
January
14.
Mr.
James
Guthry
,
and
the
Earl
of
Lothian
,
and
General
Holborn
,
were
generally
suspected
,
with
Sir
John
Chiefly
,
who
are
every
day
expected
in
our
Quarters
.
Rutherford
and
Gillespy
are
likewise
dissenters
from
the
present
manage
of
affairs
.
Ker
saith
,
his
wound
on
his
right
hand
is
Gods
Justice
against
him
,
for
lifting
it
up
against
us
in
such
a
cause
as
he
maintained
.
And
so
I
will
conclude
all
those
Treasonable
practices
,
and
fomented
divisions
of
that
Nation
against
their
common
Interest
.
Having
first
acquainted
the
Reader
with
an
occurrence
of
the
like
nature
,
from
the
better
mannered
and
necessity-instructed
Kirk
,
who
yet
would
fain
have
been
paramount
,
The
Scots
boldly
sollicitous
with
the
King
.
and
were
most
boldly
sollicitous
with
the
King
to
consent
to
some
other
Acts
mis-becoming
the
Majesty
of
a
Soveraign
,
and
the
Honour
of
His
Crown
;
which
the
King
generously
and
disdainfully
refusing
,
there
flew
such
rumours
and
whispers
,
as
if
some
disloyal
and
dishonest
Counsels
were
hatching
against
his
Person
;
His
Majesty
withdraws
to
Gen.
Middleton
.
whereupon
the
King
privately
withdrew
himself
to
his
Northern
Friends
and
Forces
under
General
Middleton
,
till
such
time
as
a
right
understanding
(
Hostages
being
given
on
both
sides
,
as
to
his
party
and
theirs
)
was
setled
betwixt
them
;
which
was
firmly
and
absolutely
concluded
in
an
unanimous
resolve
of
his
immediate
Coronation
,
which
was
solemnly
performed
on
the
first
of
Ianuary
in
this
manner
.
First
the
Kings
Majesty
,
The
manner
of
His
Coronation
January
1.
in
a
Princes
Robe
,
was
conducted
from
his
Bedchamber
,
by
the
Constable
on
his
right
hand
,
and
the
Marshal
on
his
left
,
to
the
Chamber
of
Presence
;
and
there
,
was
placed
in
a
Chair
under
a
Cloath
of
State
by
the
Lord
of
Angus
,
Chamberlain
,
appointed
by
the
King
for
that
day
;
and
there
after
a
little
repose
,
the
Noblemen
,
with
the
Commissioners
of
Barons
and
Burroughs
,
entred
the
Hall
,
and
presented
themselves
before
His
Majesty
.
Thereafter
the
Lord
Chancellor
spoke
to
the
King
,
to
this
purpose
:
Sir
,
your
good
Subjects
desire
You
may
be
Crowned
,
The
Lord-Chancellors
Speech
to
the
King
.
as
the
righteous
and
Lawful
Heir
of
the
Crown
of
this
Kingdom
;
that
You
would
maintain
Religion
as
it
is
presently
professed
and
established
:
Also
that
You
would
be
graciously
pleased
to
receive
them
under
Your
Highness's
Protection
,
to
Govern
them
by
the
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
to
defend
them
in
their
Rights
and
Liberties
by
Your
Royal
Power
;
offering
themselves
in
most
humble
manner
to
your
Majesty
,
with
their
Vows
to
bestow
Land
,
Life
,
and
what
else
is
in
their
Power
,
for
the
maintenance
of
Religion
,
for
the
safety
of
Your
Majesties
sacred
Person
,
and
maintenance
of
Your
Crown
;
which
they
intreat
Your
Majesty
to
accept
;
and
pray
Almighty
God
,
that
for
many
years
You
may
happily
enjoy
the
same
.
His
Majesties
Answer
.
The
King
made
this
Answer
:
I
do
esteem
the
affections
of
my
good
People
more
than
the
Crowns
of
many
Kingdoms
,
and
shall
be
ready
by
Gods
assistance
to
bestow
my
Life
in
their
defence
;
wishing

Prince
of
Aurange
Christned
.
A
la
mode
the
Covenant
.
About
this
time
the
young
Prince
of
Aurange
was
Christened
;
at
which
celebration
the
States
General
of
Holland
,
of
Amsterdam
,
of
Delf
,
were
his
God-fathers
,
and
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
and
the
old
Princess
of
Aurange
his
God-mothers
,
and
was
named
William
Frederick
Henry
.
But
this
being
over
,
the
King
intended
to
march
Northward
,
to
hasten
the
said
levies
by
his
presence
:
but
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
the
High-lands
,
promising
to
effect
that
affair
with
all
expedition
,
he
went
no
further
than
Aberdeen
,
having
more
occasion
to
continue
in
the
Southern
parts
to
keep
the
newly
re-cemented
friendship
betwixt
both
parties
entire
,
and
from
other
new
Ruptures
,
and
to
countenance
his
friends
,
Several
of
the
King
Friends
preferred
and
intrusted
.
who
now
were
admitted
into
the
chiefest
places
of
Trust
and
Offices
:
Duke
Hamilton
being
received
into
the
Army
;
Earl
of
Crawford
made
Governour
of
Sterling
,
Middleton
Lieutenant-General
,
and
other
Loyal
Scotch
Lords
in
Offices
and
Commands
befitting
their
quality
,
and
to
their
seats
in
Parliament
,
which
was
to
set
down
the
15
of
February
;
the
King
diverting
himself
in
the
mean
time
at
his
house
of
Falkland
,
care
being
taken
to
secure
the
Castle
of
Fife
from
any
Invasion
;
two
attempts
that
way
being
already
made
in
the
beginning
of
February
,
upon
Brunt
Island
;
which
nevertheless
miscarried
,
with
a
great
loss
of
men
:
but
the
want
of
Provisions
the
English
then
laboured
under
,
and
their
having
hopes
of
plenty
on
that
●ide
(
Fife
being
the
fertilest
and
most
abounding
place
in
all
Scotland
)
made
them
every
day
contrive
and
venture
a
landing
thereon
,
Fife
-
Castle
attempted
by
the
English
.
and
flat-bottomed
Boats
and
Sloops
were
now
a
coming
from
Newcastle
and
London
for
the
accommodating
their
passage
.
Cromwel
likewise
was
very
earnest
and
intent
upon
making
or
finding
a
way
by
Sterling
;
and
therefore
on
the
eighth
of
February
he
marched
thither
again
,
having
been
informed
of
some
Fords
thereabouts
where
he
might
pass
his
Army
,
or
at
least
impede
their
raising
of
new
Forces
,
and
way-lay
their
marching
into
England
,
which
was
given
out
as
the
grand
designe
,
a
Force
being
lef●
on
that
side
the
Water
sufficient
to
sustain
any
impression
of
the
English
;
and
to
that
Expedition
Duke
Hamilton
,
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
Lords
Cleaveland
,
Wentworth
,
Wilmot
,
and
Colonel
Massey
,
who
had
a
Noble
and
full
Reg●ment
,
and
was
to
be
Major-General
,
with
Titus
,
and
Colonel
Graves
,
were
designed
.
Cromwel
,
as
was
said
,
to
this
purpose
,
in
very
tempestuous
weather
reached
his
intended
passes
;
but
found
the
approaches
to
them
so
boggy
and
unpassable
,
that
in
the
same
stress
of
weather
his
Army
half
spoiled
with
cold
and
other
discommodities
,
he
was
forced
to
retire
again
,
as
he
had
done
twice
before
,
(
having
onely
Alarm'd
the
Scots
,
and
put
them
into
a
sudden
posture
of
defence
)
and
to
await
the
time
of
his
Boats
arrival
,
and
a
happier
season
of
the
year
.
About
this
time

as
he
tells

without
your

(
he

it

left
it

,
to
the
Parliament

which
had
been
very
prejudicial
to
the
English
Sea-traders
to
Leith
,
and
had
taken
more
men
than
all
the
Garrisons
in
Scotland
,
having
been
Besieged
above
a
week
by
Colonel
Monke
;
upon
the
21
of
February
,
after
the
Mortar-pieces
had
played
,
and
a
Battery
of
six
Great

was
raised
,
yielded
to

;
Sir
Iames
Seaton
the
Governour
,
newly
knighted
,
not
being
able
to
obtain
any
other
Condition
;
but
Colonel
Monke
,
out
of
his
usual
civility
,
suffered
not
a
man

to
be
stript
or
plundered
.
There
were
15

Our
New
States
at
home
found
it
opportune
,
being
grown
so
potent
abroad
,
and
so
dreaded
at
home
,
to
discard
their
Journey-men
of
the
Council
of
Sate
,
A
new
Council
of
State
,
March
.
whose
assistance
they
were
forced
to
use
(
though
they
would
not
assent
and
concur
with
them
in
their
alteration
of
the
Government
,
and
the
Murder
of
the
King
,
&c.
but
would
act
as
it
was
now
altered
)
in
the
rearing
of
their
Model
;
twenty
one
of
them
,
such
as
were
instrumental

principal
in
the
Change
,
as
Cromwel
,
Bradshaw
,
and
others
of
the
Kings
Judges
,
being
continued
,
and
twenty
new
ones
of
the
same
gang
were
surrogated
in
the
others
places
:
for
they
could
now
do
the
work
and
receive
the
wages
themselves
.
To
those
a
power
was
given
of
executing
the
Admiralship
to
all
purposes
and
intents
,
as
any
Admiral
of
England
had
executed
it
before

John

a
Book
against

About
this
time
one
Iohn
Fry
another
of

having
written
a
blasphemous
Book
against
the
Trinity
,

purposely
against
the
Divinity

as
the
Socinians
teach
,
was
by
a
Vote
disbanded
their
Company
in
the
House
,
and
his
Book
ordered
to
be
burnt
by
the
Sheriffs
of
London
:
not
a
word
of
the
Hangman
in
the
Order
,
for
that
would
have
sounded
ominous
to
the
whole
pack
of
them
,
now
in
pomp
and
great
splendor
.

The

likewise
seized
divers
Vessels

held

was
pursued
with

100
pounds
offered
to
any

,
Maj.

This
Month
Maj.
Harrison
of

having
a
designe
upon
Cornet-Castle
(
held
by

,
being
now
and
then
relieved
with
Shallops

Boats

struck
in
thither
from
the
Coast

attempted
it
by
Storm
,
having
false
information
that
most
of
the
Garrison
were
dead
,
and
the
rest
weak
and
feeble
;
but
were
so
stoutly
received
,
that
very
few
that
Engaged
got
off
again
,
the
Tide
too
coming
in
and
drowning
many
of
them
,
to
the
utter
disheartning
of
them
from
any
future
Assault
;
so
that
they
resolved
to
try
what
fair
means
would
do
,
and
by
a
sum
of
Money
amounting
to
1500
pounds
,
Cornet

with
other

(
there
being
no
likelihood

doing
His

any
Service
by
longer
keeping
it
,
relief
also
being
so
very
scarce
,
difficult
,

accepted

that
little
Citadel
delivered
into
their
Hands

The
Irish
defeated
at
Finagh
,
March
13.
In
Ireland
,
the
Forces
there
remaining
being
now
under
the
sole
Command
of
the
Marquess
of
Clanrickard
,
whom
the
Earl
of

did
to
the
last
assist

killed
,

376
Officers
besides
taken
;
upon
which
followed
the
Rendition
of
Finagh
upon
Articles
.
After
these
successes
,
several
Officers
having
liberty
to
go
for
England
,
it
was
the
fortune
of
the
Colonels
Axtell
,
Sadler
,
the
Irish
Adjutant-General
,
and
Colonel
Le
Hunt
to
be
taken
Prisoners
by
a

there
Landed

Imprisoned

till
such
time

that
Island
acknowledged
the
possession
of
the
States
of
England
;
who
having
erected
their
High
Court
of
Iustice
,
had
in
revenge
of
Dorislaus
and
Ascham
Sentenced
Sir
Henry
Hide
Cosen
to
Sir
Edward
then
Lord-Chancellor
with
the
King
,
for
taking
upon
him
the
quality
of
an
Embassador
from
His
Majesty
to
the
Grand
Seignior
at
Constantinople
,
and
demanding
Audience
in
his
Name
;
which
they
aggravated
with
imputations
of
his
designe
of
seizing
those
Merchants
Estates
there
,
and
Affronting
Sir
Thomas
Bendish
the
old
Resident
there
with
his
new

.
It
booted
nor
availed
Sir
Henry
(
who
at
his
Tryal
(
having
been
long
out
of
England
)
would
have
used
the
Italian
Tongue
as
the

was
also
charged
upon

the
several
parts
of
his
accusation
:

(
who
had
delivered
Scarborough
to
Sir
Hugh
Cholmly
,
then
revolted
in
the
year
1643.
from
the
Parliament
,

Prisoner
at
Hull

the
same
,
had
been
exchanged
by
Hotham
,
then
winding
about
to
his
Allegiance
)
suffered
in
the
same
manner
the
29
of
March
.
But
it
is
not
a
rude
Prolepsis
of
the
time
,
to
assigne
him
(
because
of
the
nearness
of
their
Deaths
for
the
same
cause
of
Loyalty
)
his
place
in
this
year
,
in
the
Company
of
Sir
Henry
Hide
.
Yet
before
we
conclude
the
Revolution
of
this
year
,
we
must
adde
one
of
the
most
remarkable
occurrences
in
it
,
viz.
the
Embassadors
sent
by
this
State
to
that
of
the
Low
Countries
,
who
departed
hence
about
March
the
10
,
and
landed
at
Rotterdam
the
14
,
being
met
by
the
way
by
two
Yachts
of
State
,
and
handsomely
accommodated
at
the
English-house
there
,
by
some
of
the
said
Company
.
The
Names
of
them
were
,
Chief-Justice
Saint
Iohn
of
the
Common-Pleas
,
formerly
the
Kings
Sollicitor
,
and
the
Earl
of
Straffords
vehement
Adversary
;
and
Mr.
Walter
Strickland
;
stiled
in
their
Credentials
the
Lords
Embassadors
Extraordinary
from
the
Parliament
of
England
,
and
were
the
first
that
they
ever
sent
to
any
Forrain
Princes
;
for
as
from
Kings
and
Sovereigns
they
had
just
cause
to
fear
their
united
Forces
,
to
chastise
that
infamous
Regicide
,
whose
example
was
so
dangerous
to
themselves
.
Anno
Dom.
1651.
ON
the
30
of
March
(
attended
by
a
gallant
Retinue
of
their
own
,
and
such
as
that
State
sent
with
Coaches
)
they
were
received
to
Audience
,
The
Lord
Saint
John
and
Strickland
Embassadors
to
Holland
.
They
desire
a
firm
League
.
where
Saint
Iohn
in
a
well-composed
Speech
,
very
gravely
declared
,
that
notwithstanding
several
injuries
received
by
the
English
Commonwealth
and
Subjects
from
that
State
;
yet
the
Parliament
had
sent
them
first
to
make
a
firm
League
and
Friendship
with
them
,
if
they
should
think
fit
.
2.
That
to
that
purpose
they
would
renew
that
most
amicable
Treaty
of
Commerce
,
made
between
the
King
of
England
and
the
Duke
of
Burgundy
,
their
then
Sovereign
in
1495.
3.
He
set
forth
those
many
advantages
in
point
of
Trade
and
Navigation
the
Dutch
might
receive
from
England
by
such
a
League
,
discoursing
of
the
commodiousness
and
Excellent
Situation
of
the
Ports
and
Harbours
,
and
other
Emoluments
.
4.
He
expressed
the
just
resentment
of
the
Parliament
for
the
Death
of
Doctor
Darislaus
,
and
that
he
doubted
not
but
their
High
and
Mighty
Lordships
would
give
satisfaction
therein
,
and
cause
Justice
to
be
Executed
upon
those
Offenders
.
Which
said
,
a
Committee
was
appointed
to
confer
with
him
further
,
and
he
conducted
in
the
same
manner
as
he
came
,
to
his
own
Lodgings
.
The
States
General
shew
no
forwardness
to
this
new
friendship
.
But
the
States
General
shewed
no
great
readiness
to
embrace
this
new
Friendship
of
their
Rival
States
,
although
the
Province
of
Holland
did
endeavour
to
promote
it
;
for
the
Prince
of
Aurange's
Interest
was
yet
very
potent
in
their
Assemblies
,
which
was
the
reason
no
Address
had
been
made
before
in
his
life-time
from
the
Parliament
,
who
very
much
courted
this
peoples
Amity
,
not
onely
from
the
nearness
and
likeness
of
both
their
rises
to
be
Commonwealths
;
but
for
that
no
danger
was
so
neer
,
and
to
be
feared
elsewhere
from
the
Interest
and
Alliance
of
the
King
.
But
the
people
were
far
more
averse
to
any
accommodation
with
Traytors
and
Murderers
,
as
they
called
these
Ministers
and
their
followers
;
which
Clamours
were
heightned
by
the
Royalists
,
then
yet
in
great
numbers
residing
there
.
The
Duke
of
York
being
then
in
the
Country
with
the
Princess
of
Aurange
his
Sister
,
as
also
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
,
and
Prince
Edward
her
Son
,
who
first
gave
these
Embassadors
an
Affront
as
they
chanced
to
meet
him
in
their
Coach
,
taking
the
Air
neer
the
Hague
,
with
his
Sister
the
Princess
Henrietta
in
his
Hand
,
where
in
indignation
he
gave
them
the
opprobrious
names
of
Dogs
and
Traytors
.
The
Embassadors
affronted
by
Prince
Edward
son
to
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
.
The
next
day
several
uproars
were
made
about
their
House
,
as
if
there
were
a
resolution
to
Storm
it
;
nor
was
it
safe
for
them
or
any
of
their
Gentlemen
to
stir
abroad
,
and
several
advices
were
given
them
of
designed
attempts
upon
their
persons
:
Of
both
these
affronts
and
injuries
they
complained
to
the
States
;
They
complain
to
the
States
,
and
have
a
Guard
appointed
them
.
who
after
a
long
and
tedious
delay
,
summoned
Prince
Edward
to
appear
and
answer
;
but
he
pleaded
he
was
a
Prince
of
the
Empire
,
and
Subject
to
no
other
Jurisdiction
;
and
for
the
other
appointed
them
a
Corps
du
guard
to
secure
the
House
;
and
by
a
Proclamation
prohibited
all
manner
of
injuries
or
violence
to
be
done
unto
them
:
but
notwithstanding
the
said
indignities
were
yet
committed
frequently
.
In
this
sort
they
continued
there
,
expecting
an
Answer
and
Conclusion
(
which
Mounsieur
Bellieur
did
likewise
hinder
what
in
him
lay
,
his
Servants
and
attendants
being
as
quarrelsome
and
slighting
of
these
English
as
any
whosoever
)
and
in
the
interim
six
of
the
chiefest
Gentlemen
of
their
Retinue
travelling
upwards
the
Country
,
were
met
by
a
Lorain-Colonel
one
Harter
then
going
to
the
Spaw
,
and
kept
Prisoners
for
a
Ransome
,
which
at
length
was
paid
to
the
Spanish-Governour
of
Limburgh
,
into
whose
hands
upon
a
remove
they
lighted
.
This
troublesome
delay
so
displeased
their
Westminster-masters
,
that
on
the
18
of
May
the
Parliament
recalled
them
;
which
being
notified
to
the
States
,
they
seemed
surprized
,
and
by
consent
of
the
Embassadors
sent
away
an
Express
,
accompanied
with
Mr.
Thurloe
,
Saint
Iohn's
Secretary
,
to
London
,
to
desire
a
longer
respit
,
in
hope
of
a
satisfactory
Conclusion
.
But
after
a
vain●r
Expectation
thereof
[
saving
this
dubious
insignificant
Resolution
,
as
the
States
called
it
,
In
haec
verba
,
—
The
States
General
of
the
Netherlands
having
heard
the
report
of
their
Commissioners
having
had
a
Conference
the
day
before
with
the
Lords
Embassadors
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
do
declare
,
That
for
their
better
satisfaction
,
they
do
wholly
and
fully
condescend
and
agree
unto
the
6

7

8

9

11
Propositions
of
the

were

most
unconcerning
)

also
the
said
States
do
agree
unto
the
1
,
2
,
3
,
and
5
Articles
of
the
year
1495.
Therefore
the
States
do
expect
in
the
same
manner
as
full
and
clear
an
Answer
from
the
Lords
Embassadors
,
upon
the
36
Articles
delivered
in
by
their
Commissioners
the
24
of
June
1647.

This
indifferency

the
trouble
(
as
was

)
of
most
of

take

him
,
Saint
John
's
Speech
at

these
parting
words
,
—
My
Lords
,
You
have
an
Eye
upon
the
Event
of
the
Affairs
of
the
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
and
therefore
do
refuse
the
Friendship
we
have
offered
;
now
I
can
assure
you
that
many
in
the
Parliament
were
of
opinion
that
we
should
not
have
come
hither
,
or
any
Embassadors
to
be
sent
to
you
,
before
they
had
superated
th●se
matters
between
them
and
that
King
,
and
then
expected
your
Embassadors
to
us
.
I
n●w
perceive
our
errour
,
and
that
those
Gentlemen
were
in
the
right
:
in
a
short
time
you
shall
see
that
business
ended
,
and
then
you
will
come
to
us
and
seek
what
we
have
freely
offered
,
when
it
shall
perplex
you
that
you
have
refused
our
proffer
.
—
And
it
●ell
ou●
as
he
had
Divined
it
.
Upon
his
coming
home
,
after
those
welcomes
and
thanks
given
him
by
the
Parliament
,
he
omitted
not
to
aggravate
those
rudenesses
done
him
,
and
to
exasperate
them
against
the
Dutch
:
and
the
angry
effects
of
his
Counsels
and
report
soon
after
appeared
.
On
the
9
of
April
,
in
order
and
designe
to
abolish
all
Badges
of
the
Norman
Tyranny
(
as
they
were
pleased
to
call
it
)
now
that
the
English
Nation
had
obtained
their
natural
Freedom
,
they
resolved
to
Manumit
the
Laws
,
and
restore
them
to
their
Original
Language
;
which
they
did
by
this
ensuing
additional
Act
;
and
forthwith
all
or
most
of
the
Law-books
were
turned
into
English
,
(
according
to
the
Act
a
little
before
,
for
turning
Proceedings
of
Law
into
English
)
and
the
rest
written
afterwards
in
the
same
Tongue
;
but
so
little
to
the
benefit
of
the
people
,
that
as
Good
store
of
Game
is
the
Country-mans
Sorrow
,
so
the
multitude
of
Sollicitors
and
such
like
,
brought
a
great
deal
of
trouble
to
the
Commonwealth
,
not
to
speak
of
more
injuries
by
which
that
most
honourable
profession
of
the
Law
was
profaned
and
vilified
,
as
being
a
discourse
out
of
my
Sphere

At

Judgement

I
must
remember

The
Kirk
conv●●●d
at
Glascow

that
here
the
first
Scene
of
our
misery
was
laid

illegal
convention
of

general
Assembly
of

of

By

Forces
thereabouts
,
the
Earl
of
Eglington
,
with
his
second
Son
,
and
some
other
persons
of
Note
,
were
surprized

Cromwel
after
some
debates
and
publike
disputes
with
the
Ministers
,
viz.
Gillespy
,
Rutherford
,
&c.
of
Glascow
aforesaid
,
concerning
the
lawfulness
of
his
Invasion
,
which
he
performed
;
as
he
said
,
in
much
weakness
of
(
both
Argument

)

seeing
there
was
no
drawing
the
Scot
out
that
way
to
fight
,
which
way
they
intended
for
an
undisturbed
march
,
marched
back
to
Edenburgh
by
the
beginning
of
May
,
(
and
in
his
way
burned
the
Lady
Kilsithes
House

King
)
having
notice
of
the
arrival
of
his
Boats
at
Leith
,
for
the
Transportation
of
his
Army
into
Fife
;
which
was
the
last
remedy
;
the
failure
of
Victuals
in
the
Scotch
Camp
,
which
therefore
they
should
be
forced
to
abandon
and
march
,
proving
a
meer
delusion
.
In
the
mean
while
,
on
the
15
of
April
,
in
a
mist
,
the
Lord
Montgomery
,
Son
to
the
Earl
of
Eglington
,
and
Lord
Cranston
,
with
500
Horse
and
Dragoons
marched
from
Sterling

resolutely
charged
into

(
a
Garrison

English
had
fortified

their
first
march

)
to
the
Market-place

whence
having
taken
what
Prisoners
they
could

place
of
Colonel
Sanderson
lately
deceased
,
they
faced
about
and
routed
him
,
killing
most
of
his
Followers
,
to
the
number
of
some
60

himself
being
wounded
mortally
in

whereof
not

after
he
died

The

The
Reduction
of
Scilly
-
Island
in
May.
The
Dutch
had
now
sent
Van
Trump
their
Admiral
with
12
sail
of
Men
of
War
to
Scilly
Island
,
to
demand
satisfaction
for
20
ships
which
Sir
Iohn
Greenvile
the
Governour
had
seized
;
and
had
further
instructions
to
Treat
with
the
said
Governour
:
which
,
besides
the
aim
this
State
had
to
integrate
all
the
Antient
Dominions
of
England
under
a
new
Commonwealth
,
did
very
much
enjealous
them
that
that
important
place
might
be
put
into
Dutch
hands
:
thereupon
a
Fleet
was
presently
manned
for
the
Reduction
of
that
place
,
and
Sir
George
Ayscue
(
who
was
then
preparing
for
a
Voyage
to
Barbadoes
in
the
Rainbow
and
two
other
Men
of
War
upon
the
same
account
)
was
ordered
to
attend
General
Blake
in
that
Service
,
who
Imbarqued
in
the
Phoenix-Frigat
;
and
on
the
18
of
May
with
great
resolution
he
landed
some
of
his
Forces
in
the
Islands
of
Tresco
and
Brier
,
which
were
as
stoutly
defended
by
the
Noble
Colonel
Wogan
,
who
in
his
Voyage
from
Ireland
had
taken
up
Arms
here
for
the
King
again
,
and
made
a
very
great
slaughter
of
the
first
Invaders
:
but
footing
being
gained
by
fresh
Boats
succeeding
the
other
,
he
past
over
to
the
Isle
of
St.
Maries
,
both
more
naturally
and
Artificially
Fortified
,
and
of
very
difficult
access
.
Some
few
attempts
were
nevertheless
made
;
but
rather
to
shew
there
was
an
Enemy
there
,
who
would
fain
be
admitted
,
and
who
otherwise
might
prove
very
troublesome
to
their
Trade
:
and
to
that
effect
a
Summons
or
invitation
was
sent
unto
the
Governour
;
who
having
(
as
it
was
believed
)
the
Kings
leave
for
what
he
should
do
therein
,
and
knowing
with
England
it
would
return
,
and
without
would
be
of
little
use
to
the
Crown
;
after
some
Messages
accepted
of
a
Treaty
;
which
after
caresses
and
civilities
on
both
sides
,
concluded
in
a
Rendition
of
the
Isle
,
St
Maries
Island
surrendred
June

,
by
Sir
John
Greenvile
,
to

Blake
and

Geo

on
the
second
of
Iune
,
upon
very
Honourable
Terms

Governour
Sir
Iohn
,
the
son
of
Noble
Sir
Bevil
Greenvile
,
after
Earl
of
Bath
,
a
person
always
much
in
the
Kings
Favour
,
receiving
a
considerable
sum
of
Money
and
Indemnity
for
his
Estate
and
person
,
freed
from
all
manner
of
Arrests

molestations
whatsoever
:
the
Officers

Souldiers
to
go

they
would
;
of
whom
,
Sir
Fulk
Hunks
with
Doctor
Lesley
the
Bishop
of
Down
sailed
for
Ireland
,
Colonel
Wogan

10
Serjeant-Majors
,
60
Captains
,
(
saith
the

40

a
proportionable
number

,
in
Company
with

much
discourse
there
was
of
the

shipping
and
Transporting
some
Forces
for
Ireland
,
by
an
Agreement
made
with
the
Irish
,

promoted
at
the
French
Court
(
whither
the
Duke
of
York
was
now
expected
,
and
Sir
Edward
Hide
arrived
out
of
Spain
)
and
several
Provinces
and
Cities
were
by
report
assigned
him
for
his
security
;
but
the
whole
story
proved
meer
Castles
in
the
Air
:
for
it
's
supposed
the
Duke
was
unwilling
to
come
where
his
plundering
Troops
should
finde
Blows
instead
of
Booty
;
and
he
had
his
own
Country
and
Dominions
to
regain
first
.
An
Agent
from
the
D.
of
Florence
to

Parliament

An
Agent
likewise
came
now
to
the
Parliament
of

,
and
owned
them
as

from

Lord
Howard
committed
to
the
Tower
for
Bribery

Cromwel
being
at
Edenburgh
,
having
notice
how
the
King
lay
encamped
at
Sterling
,
Lesley's
Foot
quartering
on
the
South-side
,
and
Middleton's
on
the
North-side
of
the
Park
encompassed
with
a
Stone-wall
;
and
that
abundance
of
Provision
was
brought
in
daily
,
supposing
they
would
march
,
drew
all
his
Forces
out
of
the
West
with
as
much
care
and
conduct
as
could
be
,
and
Encamped
likewise
in
the
Fields
by
Edenburgh
in
a
readiness
for
them
,
whether
to
march
or
fight
:
Cromwel
sick
May.
But
in
the
mean
time
he
was
taken
very
ill
of
his
Ague
,
so
that
Doctor
Wright
,
and
Doctor
Bates
(
an
eminent
Physitian
,
and
a
concealed
Royalist
,
as
appears
by
a
polite
Piece
of
his
,
written
some
time
before
,
entituled
,
Elenehus
Motuum
nuperorum
in
Anglia
)
were
sent
down
to
attend
his
Cure
;
and
many
blithe
and
anxious
discourses
were
concerning
his
Death
,
as
either
partie
wished
,
for
he
was
brought
very
low
;
but
being
recovered
to
some
degree
of
Health
by
these
Gentlemen
,
it
was
presently
sounded
like
a
Proclamation
;
and
I
have
therefore
thought
fit
to
transcribe
a
piece
of
the
Letter
,
that
the
World
may
see
what
queer
Hypocrites
his
Attendants
,
like
himself
and
his
times
,
were
,
by
the
pious
Nonsense
and
most
Blasphemous
Flattery
of
this
Apocryphal
Epistle
.
If
I
knew
the
Secretary
or
Inditer
,
I
would
Chronicle
him
for
his
Pen.
—
Truly
Sir
,
Part
of
a
Letter
from
one
of
Cromwels
Creatures
.
His
Life
and
Health
are
exceeding
precious
,
and
I
account
it
every
day
a
greater
mercy
than
other
that
we
have
his
Life
,
observing
that
every
dispensation
of
God
draws
him
nearer
to
himself
,
and
makes
him
more
Heavenly
and
Holy
,
and
by
consequence
more
useful
for
his
Generation
,
in
the
management
of
that
power
God
hath
Committed
to
him
,
&c.
An
Act
of
Oblivion
in
Scotland
.
The
Parliament
of
Scotland
after
long
debate
had
Passed
an
Act
of
Olivion
for
all
things
done
thitherto
;
inviting
thereby
all
Parties
to
joyn
in
carrying
on
the
Service
of
King
and
Kingdom
;
and
a
new
Engagement
with
the
Sacrament
was
taken
by
the
Kings
Army
to
adhere
to
him
:
whereupon
all
Faction
and
Division
seemed
to
be
laid
aside
;
the
Royalists
and
Kirk-men
good
Friends
,
The
Royalists
a●d

Earl
of
Calender
Commander
in
chief
of
their
new
Levies
.
and
the
Earl
of
Calendar
made
Commander
in
chief
of
the
new
Levies
:
and
this
newly
made
Peace
and
Friendship
was
no
more
than
just
necessary
,
for
the
Wolf
was
at
the
Door
,
and
ready
to
seize
.
In
the
interim
,
it
was
thought
expedient
for
some
of
their
Horse
to
march
to
Dumfrize
in
the
West
of
Scotland
,
now
deserted
by
the
Enemy
,
and
to
make
more
considerable
Levies
.
The
Presbyterian
Ministers
seized
by
the
Council
of
State
,
in
order
to
their
Tryal
,
May.
On
the
7
of
May
,
Mr.
Love
,
Mr.
Ienkins
,
Mr.
Drake
,
and
other
Presbyterians
had
been
seized
by
order
of
the
Council
of
State
,
in
order
to
their
Tryal
before
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
,
as
yet
standing
by
Adjournments
(
and
having
three
times
convened
before
them
old
and
resolute
Sir
Iohn
Stawel
,
who
so
gravelled
them
,
that
at
the
third
Hearing
they
were
forced
to
desist
from
the
pursuit
of
his
Blood
;
and
making
report
thereof
to
the
Parliament
,
they
Voted
the
sale
of
his
Estate
,
giving
him
sad
cause
to
complain
with
Iob
,
With
the
Skin
of
my
Teeth
am
I
escaped
;
making
an
exception
to
that
general
Rule
,
—
Vestigia
cerno
omnia
te
adversum
spectantia
nulla
retrorsum
:
He
first
escaping
Condemnation
at
that
Tribunal
.
)
Now
the
aforesaid
Ministers
,
with
some
Laicks
(
Engaged
in
the
said
practise
for
the
King
)
were
brought
thither
;
and
Mr.
Love
first
and
principally
charged
with
High
Treason
against
the
State
,
Mr.
Love
charged
with
High
Treason
.
for
holding
correspondence
with
the
King
and
his
Party
,
and
supplying
them
with
Money
,
contrary
to
an
Act
of
Parliament
in
that
case
provided
.
After
several
appearances
,
in
all
which
Mr.
Love
very
undauntedly
disputed
the
Court
,
one
Mr.
Iackson
a
Minister
denying
to
give
in
Evidence
against
him
,
Mr.
Jackson
fined
500
l.
and
committed
to
the
Fleet
,
for
refusing
to
give
Evidence
against
Mr.
Love
.
was
fined
500
l.
and
committed
to
the
Fleet
(
which
made
him
more
passionate
and
confident
)
but
the
accusation
being
at
last
proved
against
him
,
he
desired
Lawyers
to
assist
him
,
and
had
them
assigned
;
but
they
not
having
taken
the
Engagement
,
would
not
be
admitted
to
Plead
,
Mr.
Hales
onely
excepted
.
In
sum
,
his
main
defence
appearing
to
be
equivocal
,
in
that
he
averr'd
he
did
not
personally
correspond
,
neither
Write
,
nor
receive
Letters
,
nor
send
any
,
or
receive
any
Money
to
that
use
himself
;
and
to
consist
also
of
an
allegation
of
his
merits
,
mixt
with
invectives
against
the
Court
and
its
Authority
,
which
he
aided
with
Scripture-proof
,
in
an
Oration
of
two
hours
,
on
the
15
of
Iune
:
On
the
5
of
Iuly
they
proceeded
to
Sentence
;
Mr.
Love
Sentenced
,
July
5.
which
was
,
that
he
should
be
Beheaded
:
the
time
appointed
,
the
15
day
of
the
same
Month
,
which
by
several
Petitions
of
his
Wife
and
others
was
respited
to
the
15
of
August
.
Mr.
Potter
and
Mr.
Gibbons
Sentenced
,
July
25.
And
in
the
mean
time
,
on
the
18
of
the
same
Month
,
Mr.
Potter
an
Apothecary
in
Black-friers
,
and
one
Mr.
Gibbons
,
were
tryed
before
the
same
Court
-
Potter
confessed
,
and
craved
their
mercy
;
Gibbons
pleaded
matter
of
Law
:
but
on
the
25
of
Iuly
they
were
both
Sentenced
as
Mr.
Love
,
who
not
coming
up
to
the
Parliaments
expectation
of
discovery
,
and
more
humble
submission
and
acknowledgement
of
their
Authority
,
and
the
King
advanced
into
England
,
had
his
Reprieve
cassated
by
the
Parliament
,
Mr.
Love
and
Mr.
Gibbons
▪
Executed
on
Tower-hill
.
who
referring
him
to
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
,
they
ordered
his
Execution
with
Gibbons
on
the
22
of
August
;
which
was
done
on
Tower-hill
accordingly
.
Mr.
Love
resolutely
enough
,
and
I
am
loath
to
prejudice
his
Memory
;
for
his
designe
was
good
proof
of
his
Loyalty
:
Gibbons
bewrayed
something
of
pusillanimity
,
as
being
a
Taylor
,
and
after
,
a
kind
of
Sollicitor
to
Mr.
Hollis
,
for
whose
relation
more
than
his
own
guilt
,
he
was
thought
fit
to
suffer
;
for
when
the
Blow
was
just
a
coming
upon
his
Neck
,
he
turned
his
Eyes
and
Face
towards
the
Executioner
,
in
hopes
(
or
desire
at
least
)
of
some
Reprieve
;
but
present
Death
freed
him
with
other
troubles
and
sollicitudes
of
Life
from
that
sudden
anxiety
.
And
so
we
have
done
with
our
High
Court
of
Iustice
for
this
Session
.
This
High
Court
of
Iustice
was
so
much
their
darling
,
that
the
antient
Judicatures
had
little
or
no
respect
,
especially
they
could
not
endure
any
of
those
Courts
that
more
immediately
related
to
the
King
:
and
as
they
had
changed
the
name
of
his
Bench
to
the
Vpper-Bench
;
so
now
,
that
there
might
remain
no
footsteps
of
a
Court
,
An
Act
for
abolishing
the
Marshals-Court
in
Southwark
.
or
the
Majesty
of
a
Prince
,
they
abolished
the
Marshals-Court
at
Southwarke
,
which
was
a
kinde
of
a
peculiar
Kings-Bench
for
the
Verge
,
that
is
,
12
miles
circuit
every
way
round
the
Kings
Residence
and
Palace
(
that
there
might
be
no
annoyance
nor
disorder
committed
neer
his
Person
.
)
It
was
resolved
therefore
Iuly
the
8
,
that
the
Court
of
the
Knight-Marshal
held
in
Southwarke
,
should
be
from
and
after
the
first
of
August
next
,
absolutely
dissolved
and
taken
away
,
and
no
further
Suit
,
Action
,
or
Proceeding
to
be
had
thereupon
.
About
this
time
they
passed
another
Act
,
Another
for
the
sale
of

as
that
struck
at
the
Root
of
the
Royalty
of
England
,
so
this
lopt
the
Branches
that
clave
to
it
,
viz.
An
Act
for
the
sale
of
Delinquents
Lands
,
such
as
had
with
the
utmost
of
their
Lives
and
Fortunes
served
the
late
King
in
our
unnatural
Wars
.
It
will
be
needless
and
too
bulky
to
name
them
particularly
;
we
will
mention
onely
some
of
the
principal
:
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
the
Marquesses
of
Newcastle
,
Worcester
,
Winchester
;
the
Earls
of
Cleveland
,
Norwich
,
Scarsdale

Hapton
,
Wilmot
,
Langdale
,
Gerard
,
Cottington
,
Iermin
,
Percy
,
Culpeper
,
Hide
,
and
lastly
the
Lord
Craven
,
whose
Princely
Estate
was
enough
to
help
them
to
a
quarrel
against
him
;
which
they
managed
by
a
perjured
Fellow

Faulkner

into
a
suspition
of
Treason
▪
he
deposing
that
the
said
Lord
Craven
had
delivered
a
Petition
to
the
King
at
Breda
,
from
him
,
and
other
Cavalier-Officers
,
wherein
the
Parliament
were
termed
Bloody
and
Barbarous
Rebels
and
Traytors
.
This
wretched
subornation
was
laid
to
the
charge
of
the
Lord
Gray
of
Grooby
,
who
afterwards
sold
his
own
Inheritance
to
purchase
some
of
this
Lord's
,
whom
the
Parliament
had
peremptorily
summoned
to
appear
by
a
day
at
Westminster
▪
which
he
wisely
declining
,
as
having
heard
sufficiently
of
their
High
Court
of
Iustice
,
they
proceeded
to
sale
;
and
although
afterwards
he
convicted
the
abovesaid
Villain
of
wilful
Perjury
,
and
afterwards
prosecuted
his
right
before
a
Committee
appointed
to
adjudge
claims
,
where
Bradshaw
had
the
Chair
;
(
who
to
captate
an
opinion
of
Justice
,
seemed
to
favour
the
merit
of
the
Cause
,
and
gave
a
resolution
accordingly
:
)
yet
could
his
Lordship
by
no
means
recover
his
possession
;
being
baukt
and
wearied
with
a
fruitless
Suit
and
Attendance
during
the
Usurpation
.
To
single
also
out
of
the
number
of
the
Honourable
the
Loyal
Commoners
,
Sir
Iohn
Stawel
,
who
for
all
the
Honour
of
the
Sword
,
his
Articles
at
Exeter
(
which
as
they
saved
his
Life
,
should
in
the
same
manner
have
preserved
his
Estate
)
was
now
put
into
this
Black
Bill
of
Forfeiture
and
Attainder
;
the
Estates
of
them
all
being
vested
in
the
hands
of

These
were
again
named
to
the

trusts
in
the
second
Edition
of
this
libellous
Act
,
which
began
with
a
Preface
of
Treason
and
Rebellion
against
the
Commonwealth
:
and
great
fear
there
was
that
such
Acts
would
at
last
become
as
constant
as
those
of
the
Monthly
Assessments
,
till
they
had
not
left
a
Royalist
but
what
was
enslaved
and
sold.
And
that
they
might
appear
the
more
like
to
what
they
had
reduced
them
in
this

and

they
Enacted
the
stripping
them
of
those
Honours
which
their
Loyalty
and
worth
had
purchased
them

to

with

Coached

with
all
the
other
distinctions

even
to
the
laughter
of
the
enraged
people
;
who
perceived
they
had
Fought
for
those
,
that
were
so
much
uninteressed
in
the
Quarrel
,
as
to
what
they
had

,
as
the

It
was
made
by
these
men
,
a
penalty
of
5
l.
for
any
Knight

proportionably
50

a

receive
a
Title

had
been
conferred
on
him
since
Ianuary
1641.

Commanded
to

But
this
not
being
such
an
Affront

Indignity
as
the
abrogating
the
power

was
taken

for
a
bravado
;
nor
did
I
ever
hear
any

civility

even
such
of

The
Irish
affairs
June
.
In
Ireland
the
Lord
Broghal
had
given
a
notable
defeat
to
the
Lord
Muskerry
;
who
having
beaten
up
his
Quarters
could
not
so
conveniently
and
nimbly
retire
,
but
Brogal
was
at
his
Heels
:
Lord
Broghall
defeats
the
Lord
Muskerry
.
It
was
a
dispute
with
all
Cavalry
,
no
Foot
on
either
side
;
which
before
had
not
happened
in
Ireland
:
there
was
loss
on
both
sides
;
but
the
least
thereof
with
the
Victory
fell
to
the
English
.

landed
some
few
Forces
upon

of
the
Enemies
Guards
,
(
who
suspected
no
Boats
possible
to
be
had
without
danger
of
sinking
as
they
passed
)
and
mastered
it
;
whereupon
all
the
Irish
Forces
disposed
thereabouts
in
several
Posts
,
ran
away
to
Limerick
,
leaving
the
River
free
;
which
was
laid
over
presently
with
a
Bridge
to
bear
Horse
and
Artillery

a
week
before
had
been
delivered
by
the
Lord

The
English
Army
in
Scotland
was
now
in
motion
for
grass
,
and
marched
upon
their
old
designe
of
Sterling
to
Newbridge
,
so
to
Lithgow
,
from
whose
Castle-Battlements
they
might
espy
the
Tents
of
the
Scotch
Army
,
Encamped
in
Tor-wood
,
some
four
miles
off
this
side
Sterling
:
(
whither
Warriston
was
now
summoned
by
the
Commissioners
of
the
Assembly
peremptorily
by
the
third
of
Iuly
)
having
cast
up
a
regular
and
well-fortified
Line
with
Bulworks
mounted
with
Guns
,
and
having
a
River
behind
them
,
which
they
might
pass
at
pleasure
:
in
this
posture
they
awaited
the
English
,
who
coming
up
and
facing
them
the
third
of
Iuly
,
in
the
night
following
the
Scots
drew
up
their
Cannon
,
and
planted
them
on
the
brow
of
the
Hill
,
and
next
morning
saluted
Cromwel
with
50
Great
Guns
;
but
with
little
Execution
;
which
made
him
quickly
draw
out
of
shot
,
and
give
over
his
once-begun
resolution
of
attaquing
them
at
so
much
disadvantage
.
The
English
therefore
marched
back
again
:
Major-General
Lambert
being
sent
from
Glascow
a
week
after
to
view
the
Passes
;
which
he
reported
by
reason
of
the
boggy
approaches
there
,
to
be
very
hazardous
.
Upon
their
departure
from
Lithgow
to
Glascow
the
Scots
removed
from
Tor-wood
,
and
Encamped
at
Kilfith
,
a
place
environed
with
insuperable
desences
,
having
a
Bog
on
one
hand
,
and
craggy
Mountains
on
the
other
:
but
the
English
Army
having
eaten
up
all
at
Glascow
and
those
parts
,
and
trod
down
the
Corn
standing
,
that
the
Scots
might
finde
no
sustenance
that
way
,
if
they
should
march
,
appearing
and
marching
with
great
noise
;
on

hastened
back
again
to
their

,
whither
Cromwel
followed
,
and
to
provoke
them
to
an
Engagment
,
Stormed

in
their
view
,
and
put
all
the
Defendants
except
the
Governour
to
the
Sword
,
and
then
seeing
there
was
no
possibility
of
fighting
with
them
,
but
that
they
were
resolved
to
keep
them
in
play
,
till
Winters
scarcity
of
Horse-meat
should
make
them
give
over
and
depart
the
Kingdom
;
he
Encamped
himself
,
awaiting
the
success
of
his
designe

Prince

and
Captain
Pen
Commander
of
a
Fleet
in
the
Streights
for
the
Parliament
,
were
now
both
at
Sea
together
;
but
it
was
not
their
fortune
to
meet
one
another
.
The
Prince
had
lately
taken
a
Spanish
Ship
,

worth
100000
Crowns
,
and
had
put
forth
a
Declaration
,
shewing
the
reason
thereof
,
(
satisfying
partly
his
own
Revenge
for
the
Spanish
injuries
towards
the
Palatinate
)
which
were
,
First
,
That
Kings
giving
Protection
and
Free
Port
to
the
Kings
Rebels
,
and
Owning
them
,
and
denying
the
like
to
His
Majesties
ships
,
contrary
to
the
Treaty
between
both
Crowns
;
his
forcing
the
Marriners
that
were
put
on
shore
by
Blake
,
on
board
the
said
Admiral
,
and
making
them
serve
the
Rebels
against
their
wills
,
&c.
The
like
he
declared
against
the
Genoese
,
from
whom
he
had
taken
another
Vessel
;
the
objections
against
them
being
their
Entertainment
of
Captain
Hall
,
sent
into
those
Seas
before
Pen.
As
for
the
recognition
of
this
State
,
the
Genoese
did
not
that
till
afterwards
,
when
they
saw
what
Influence
the
potent
Fleets
of
this
Commonwealth
had
upon
all
the
Trade
of
Italy
.
With
these
two
Vessels
and
his
own
Men
of
War
,
the
Prince
sailed
to
the
Isles
of
Madera
,
upon
a
designe
against
the
Spanish
Plate-fleet
,
and
Domingo
;
but
his
ship
the
Reformation
was
so
crazy
and
leaking
,
that
they
could
hardly
bring
her
thither
,
where
it
had
been
happier
she
had
been
broken
up
,
than
so
bunglingly
mended
;
those
Carpenters
and
Ship-wrights
not
well
understanding
the
Repair
of
such
our
Ships
;
but
indeed
she
was
too
Old
for
any
slight
Remedy
.
While
Cromwel
attended
the
Scots
at
Tor-wood
,
within
a
mile
and
a
half
of
them
at
Falkirk
,
at
length
the
long-expected
success
of
a
Transportation
into
Fife
manifested
it self
;
for
Colonel
Overton
with
1400
Foot
of
his
own
,
and
Colonel
Daniels
Regiment
,
with
four
Troops
of
Horse
of
Colonel
Lydcots
,
having
with
the
loss
of
a
few
men
gained
a
place
called
North-ferry

the
other
side

Frith
,
on
the
17
of
Iuly

as
the
time

intrenched
themselves
;
and
before
the
Scotch
Army
then
beyond
Sterling
could
reach
them
with
a
sufficient
Force
to
drive
them
out
,
Major-General
Lambert
was
passed
over
to
them
,
it
being
an
Arm
of
the
Sea
,
on
the
19
being
Saturday
,
in
the
afternoon
;
whereupon
Sir
Iohn
Brown
Major-General
of
the
Scotch
Forces
,
drew
down
upon
them
;
but
Lambert
with
his
Foot
defended
himself
till
his
Horse
came
over
,
the
next
day
,
and
then
he
drew
out
;
which
Brown
perceiving
,
and
that
the
Enemy
was
stronger
than
himself
,
he
wheeled
about
,
intending
a
retreat
;
but
being
closely
followed
,
he
Embatteled
himself
on
the
side
of
a
Hill
,
intending
to
protract
time
(
unless
Lambert
would
venture
up
to
him
)
till
more
Forces
then
neer
him
were
come
up
.
Lambert
perceived
as
much
,
and
therefore
committing

the
Horse

in

,
the
brunt
of
it
not
continuing
above
a
quarter
of
an
hour
:
the
slaughter
was
very
great
,
occasioned
(
said
the
English
)
by
reason
of
the
Highlanders
not
understanding
English
,
and
so
uncapable
of
crying
Quarter
;
but
by
others
it
's
more
justly
imputed
to
Command
,
for
that
the
Highlanders
were
most
hateful
of
all
Scots
to
the
Army
,
as
being
more
Loyal
than
the
other
,
the
onely
cause
of
the
Quarrel
.
However
it
were
,
here
were
no
less
than
2000
slain
,
and
some
1600
taken
Prisoners
;
few
of
4500
,
as
they
were
computed
(
the
English
far
Exceeding
them
in
number
)
escaped
with
the
lamentable
tidings
.
Sir
Iohn
Brown
their
Major-General
,
and
Colonel
Buchanan
and
Scot
were
taken
Prisoners
:
in
which
condition
Brown
died
not
long
after
at
Leith
.
Before
this
defeat
the
Scots
marched
over
Sterling-bridge
to
step
this
Invasion
;
but
understanding
the
remedilessness
of
it
,
and
Cromwel
marching
towards
Sterling

made
him
to

;
which
being
thus
over
,
he
marched
his
men
with
all
hast
to
Brunt-Island
,
where
he
Ferried
to
Leith
,
leaving
General
Monke
to
Command
in
Scotland
,
with

,
and

his
march
to
reduce

,
and
hastned
after

.
The
King
marches
for
England
,
July
21.
It
had
all
along
been
the
Kings
desire
to
have
marched
into
England
before
this
fatal
opportunity
,
and
His
coming
was
expected
by
His
Friends
every
day
,
though
in
no
condition
able
to
help
Him
,
being
so
spent
,
wasted
and
terrified
with
the
late
and
yet
grievous
Sequestrations
and
Sales
;
but
the
King
was
imagined
here
by
His
Party
to
be
able
to
do
His
business
without
them
;
and
the
late
immature
discovery
of
Loves
designe
and
his
Sentence
,
had
quite
bogled
his
Presbyterian
well-wishers
,
whatever
they
muttered
to
themselves
of
their
adventurous
Loyalty
.
Indeed
nothing
so
much
heightned
the
hopes
of
all
good
men
,
as
those
fears
,
and
distrusts
,
and
ill
looks
which
the
Phanatick-party
discovered
upon
this
occassion
,
the
rather
because
Harrison
had
lain
so
long
in
those
parts
by
which
the
King
entred
,
on
purpose
and
by
express
order
to
keep
him
out
if
possible
,
or
at
least
retard
Him
so
in
the
Borders
,
that
Cromwel
might
overtake
him
there
,
who
was
now
three
days
march
behind
,
and
Harrison
also
not
very
forward
in
his
march
:
And
surely
Cromwel
was
very
sensible
of
his
loytering
at
Saint
Iohnstons
,
through
a
proud
humour
of
not
rising
without
it
,
since
England
was
of
the
far
greater
concernment
;
and
it
set
him
a
little
awry
in
the
opinion
of
his
Partisans
.
The
Parliament
no
sooner
had
notice
of
this
Emergency
by
several
Expresses
(
who
Rid
as
if
their
Necks
had
been
at
stake
)
but
out
come
three
Acts
or
Proclamations
together
;
The

the
one
for
the
Militia
,
setling
it
as
it
stood
established
,
and
further
forbidding
all
Royalists
to
depart
from
their
Houses
,
and
Commanding
all
other
people
to
give
an
account
of
their
Servants
to

they
shall

with

.

And
therewith
another
product
of
Treason
in
grain
against
the
King
,
His
Person
and
Authority
:
which
said
Decrees
they
did
with
confidence
command
to
be
published
,
setting
a
good
gloss
and
resolute
Face
upon
their
despairing
and
misgiving
thoughts
,
lest
they
might
not
seem
(
what
they
were
most
sure
of
from
the
people
)
to
be
wanting
to
themselves
,
in
this
perplext
and
unconsulted
occurrence
.
The
King
at
Carlisle
,
Proclaimed
there
King
of
Great
Britain
:
He
publisheth
his
Declaration
.
The
King
departed
from
Sterling
the
last
of
Iuly
,
and
came
into
England
by
the
way
of
Carlisle
;
and
upon
His
first
footing
there
,
was
Proclaimed
rightful
King
of
Great
Britain
,
and
did
thereupon
publish
his
Declaration
,
wherein
He
offered
His
free
Grace
and
Pardon
(
to
be
confirmed
by
an
Act
thereafter
)
to
all
His
Subjects
of
England
,
Offereth
an
Act
of
Pardon
to
all
but
Cromwel
,
Bradshaw
,
and
Cook
.
of
whatever
Nature
or
Crime
their
Offences
,
were
,
excepting
Cromwel
,
Bradshaw
,
and
Cook
,
the
more
immediate
Murtherers
of
His
Father
;
and
therewith
prosecuted
His
march
,
being
Proclaimed
in
the
same
manner
through
all
the
Towns
He
passed
.
The
English
that
accompanied
Him
of
Note
,
were
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
Earl
of
Cleaveland
,
Lord
Wentworth
,
Lord
Wilmot
,
Colonel
Wogan
,
(
I

Services
)
Colonel
Matthew
Bointon
,
Major-General
Massey
,
and
Colonel
Graves
,
Titus
,
and
Major
Ashurst
.
The
King
marched
directly
North-west
to
Lancashire
,
whither
Harrison
with
some
of
Lamberts
men
had
got
before
Him
,
intending
to
stop
His
further
passage
at
Warrington

to
which
service
they
had
obliged
and
animated
the
new-raised
Cheshire-Foot
,
amounting
to
neer
3000
;
but
both
they
and
Harrison
received
a
notable
defeat
at
that
place
by
the
conduct
of
Colonel
Massey
,
who
set
them
a
forerunning
with
a
greater
speed
than
they
had
made
hitherto
to
overtake
the
King
;
to
whom
in
this
County
came
the
Earl
of
Derby
,
who
landed
at
Wye-water
from
the
Isle
of
Man
,
The
Earl
of
Derby
joyus
with
the
King
in

though
not
with
the
same
instantaneous
(
or
indeed
any
)
success
,
which
his
great
Ancestor
the
noble
Stanly
brought
to
His
Majesties
Royal
Progenitor
King
Henry
the
seventh
,
upon
his
like
dispute
,
for
the
regaining
of
the
Crown
.
With
the
Earl
of
Derby
the
King
left
some
Forces
of
English
under
his
Major-General
Sir
Thomas
Tildesly
,
to
strengthen
what
Forces
he
brought
with
him
,
and
to
countenance
those
Levies
he
was
to
make
in
that
County
,
where
he
was
very
well
beloved
,
both
for
his
own
and
his
Ancestors
worth
,
and
most
liberal
Hospitality
.
Massey
was
left
here
behind
,
but
presently
recalled
.
From
Warrington
the
King
passed
with
quick
marches
through
part
of
Cheshire
to
Newport
in
Shropshire
,
The
King
summons
Shrewsbury
,
in
vain
.
whence
He
sent
His
Invitations
and
Summons
to
Colonel
Mackworth
Governour
of
Shrewsbury
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Middleton
.
Mackworth
confidently
refused
,
directing
his
answer
to
the
Commander
in
chief
of
the
Scotch
Forces
,
not
owning
the
King
for
so
much
as
their
Soveraign
.
On
the
22
of
August
,
the
Van
of
the

by
the
influence
of

Wilde
;
but
the
Towns-men
saved
them
the
labour
of
driving
them
out
,
and
most
joyfully
welcomed
these
weary
guests
,
and
such
too

had
been
extremely
oppressive
and
intolerably
burdensome
,
at
the
Siege
of
Hereford
:
but
their
gladness
at
the
Kings
presence
,
and
hope
of
his
Restitution
,
obliterated
all
other
considerations
and
remembrances
whatsoever
.
The
Mayor
and
his
Brethren
at
the
Kings
Intrado
did
him
the
customary
,
but
most
chearful
Obeysances
,
tendring
Him
the
Keys
and
the
Mace
upon
their
Knees
,
and
bidding
Him
and
His
Forces
welcome
to
this
His
Majesties
Antient
and
Loyal
City
;
where
the
same
day
with
great
solemnity
He
was
anew
Proclaimed

and
the
tired
Souldiers
most
abundantly
provided
for
,

in
all
,
Scotch
and
English
,
some
13000
,
who
had
marched
300
miles
outright
in
3
weeks
.
In

time

Parliament

amassed

the

and
London

Regiments
.
and
had
mustred
the
London-Regiments
in
Morefields
,
with
a
full
,
yet
not
quarter
appearance
of
such
as
would
fight
for
them
against
their
Prince
,
as
they
witnessed
by
that
dumb
silence
which
was
obstinately
kept
,
upon
the
Reading
of
their
Proclamation
against
the
King
,
and
burning
his
Declaration
at
the
head
of
every
Regiment
;
who
were
designed
onely
for
the
service
and
security
of
the
City
.
The
Country-Troops
in
the
mean
time
advanced
,
and
glad
were
the
Members
that
the
King
stayed
for
them
;
for
nothing
was
more
dreaded
than
His
continued
march
to
London
,
which
place
would
have
soon
ridded
their
fears
,
upon
an
approach
of
the
Kings
Army
but
30
miles
further
from
Worcester
:
but
to
prevent
that
,
as
Essex
did
before
at
the
beginning
of
the
War
(
whose
first
efforts
took
this
way
)
Cromwel
by
long
marches
through
Newcastle
,
Rippon
,
Ferrybrigs
,
Doncaster
,
Mansfield
,
and
Coventry
,
had
interposed
himself
,
and
joyned
with
his
Army
at
Keynton
,
where
a
General
Council
of
all
his
Officers
was
held
,
and
a
speedy
advance
to
Worcester
resolved
on
;
Lieutenant-General
Fleetwood
being
dispatcht
to
bring
up
his
Forces
then
on
their
way
at
Banbury
,
the
gross
of
all
the
Forces
amounting
to
above
40000
effective
,
Militia
and
all
.
The
King
Summons
the
Country
.
The
King
had
Summoned
in
all
the
Country
to
his
assistance
,
and
Rendezvouzed
on
the
26
of
August
upon
Pitzfodder-Heath
neer
that
City
,
and
went
on
with
the
Fortifications
and
rearing
the
Mount
.
Of
the
chief
of
those
that
came
in
was
the
Lord
Talbot
after
Earl
of
Shrewsbury
,
and
Colonel
Howard
,
Colonel
Sir
Edward
Broughton
,
and
Captain
Benbow
,
and
some
adventurers
from
London
,
who
were
forced
to
pass
through
the
Parliaments
Army
;
nor
could
it
be
expected
any
could
appear
,
when
such
powerful
Militia's
were
up
every
where
,
so
that
all
the
new
accessional
strength
the
King
received
,
was
no
way
considerable
,
save
for
the
Gallantry
and
Noble
Loyalty
of
such
as
in
these
disadvantages
owned
His
Majesties
Cause
and
Fortunes
.
Yet
there
was
a
Noble
Person
,
and
some
few
of
his
partakers
,
whom
froward
unkinde
Fate
had
banded
from
one
ruine
to
a
worse
,
and
had
added
to
that
number
of
English
at
Worcester
.
This
was
the
truly
Honourable
Earl
of
Derby
,
that
was
left
behinde
in
Lancashire
to
raise
that
County
,
whose
Levies
with
that
Force
left
him
did
not
amount
to
above
1200
men
,
though
a
little
more
time
had
rendred
him
formidable
;
with
those
he
was
marching
upon
a
designe
to
fall
upon
Cromwel's
own
Regiment
,
quartering
upon
their
march
in
Lancaster
,
when
in
the
nick
comes
Colonel
Lilburn
with
10
Troops
of
Horse
sent
by
the
General
from
York
upon
this
very
Service
,
having
with
him
two
Regiments
of
the
Cheshire-Foot
,
and
other
additions
of
Horse
.
The
Earl
was
now
in
the
midst
of
both
these
Parties
,
and
therefore
resolved
to
fight
with
Lilburn
,
finding
his
men
couragious
and
desirous
to
engage
,
though
most
Horse
,
and
in
Lanes
,
and
accordingly
charged
them
so
furiously
,
that

totally
routed

made
an
impression
into

so
far
that
they
began
to
run
,
while
other
fresh
Reserves
coming
in
,
they
were
forced
to
face
about
,
being
annoyed
with
the
Musquets
;
yet
did
they
renew
the
charge
again
,
and
had
they
had
but
another
Reserve
,
they
had
in
all
probability
won
the
day
;
for
it
was
upon
a

Turn
,
when
another
supply
resisted
the
torrent
of
their
Valour
,
which
left
undeniable
proofs
of
it self
,
in
the
death
of
most
of
the
Commanders
of
their
Wounds
in
and

having
by
the
good

of

,
who

to

out
of

,
sheltered
himself
one
night
in

house
called

means
had
prepared
for
the
Kings
retreat

By
this
time
Cromwel
had
surrounded
that
City
with
his
spreading
Host
,
in
as
neer
a
compass
as
the
Rivers
and
Passes
would
suffer
him
,
the
Kings
Army
as
yet
lying
out
of
the
Town
a
mile
in
the
fields
.
The
first
Pass
endeavoured
to
be
taken
,
was
Vpton-Bridge
on
Fleetwoods
side
,
which
Major-General
Lambert
attempted
with
500
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
and
after
a
brisk
dispute
wrested
from
Col.
Massey
,
who
in
defence
thereof
received
a
wound
in
his
Hand
,
the
first
mark
of
his
redeemed
honour
,
in
that
member
which
had
been
so
unhappily
active
and
successful
against
the
King
.
The
Scots
having
thus
abandoned
the
place
,
it
was
presently
possest
by
a
strong
party
of
Horse
and
Foot
,
in
order
to
the
present
advance
of
the
rest
of
the
Army
.
The
Scots
now
drawn
closer
to
Worcester
,
made
many
Salleys
,
breaking
down
two
or
three
Bridges
over
the
River
Team
,
and
shewing
a
well-ordered
and
governed
courage
;
but
September
the
3
that
ominous
day
being
arrived
,
Cromwel
resolved
to
venture
the
event
upon
its
former
auspicia
,
and
to
that
purpose
having
his
Boats
in
readiness
pass'd
over
his
men
:
in
the
afternoon
of
that
day
he
drew
out
from
his
own
Post
,
and
(
having
given
the
signal
to
the
whole
Army
to
fall
on
)
began
the
Fight
in
this
manner
.
Cromwel
himself
in
person
(

clock

with
his
Life-Guard
,
and
Colonel
Hacker's
Regiment
of

,
with

of

Regiment
and
Colonel
Ingoldsby's
,
and
Fairfax's
entire
)
passed
over
his
Bridge
of
Boats
upon
the
Severn
,
and
marched
towards
the
City
;
after
him
,
Lieutenant-General
Fleetwood
,
who
had
been
most
part
of
that
day
marching
of
five
miles
from
Vpton
to
Powick-bridge
,
which
the
Kings
Army
had
broken
down
,
passed
with
Colonel
Goff's
and
Major-General
Dean's
Regiments
,
and
joyntly
advanced
;
the
Kings
Forces
encountering
them
at
the
Hedges
,
and
disputing
every
field
with
them
,
in
such
order
,
and
with
such
gallantry
,
that
these
already
over
(
lest
they
should
not
be
wholly
discouraged
with
the
hotness
of
the
Service
)
were
relieved
by
Reserves
,
and
they
by
others
;
no
considerable
progress
yet
made
,
the
Highlanders
proving
excellent
fire-men
,
and
coming
to
the
But-end
at
every
foot
,
till
weary
,
and
their
Ammunition
spent
,
the
King
being
then
upon
the
place
Commanded
them
in
some
haste
into
the
City
,
and
hastened
himself
to
the
other
side
,
where
Colonel
Hayn's
Regiment
with
Cobbet's
stood
about
Powick-Bridge
,
and
were
entertained
with
no
less
manhood
and
slaughter
:
and
though
Colonel
Matthews
was
the
Reserve
to
the
other
two
Regiments
,
yet
did
the
Scotch
Foot
fairly
drive
them
from
their
ground
,
till
their
little
Army
being
every
way
engaged
,
and
no
seconds
or
supplies
to
be
expected
,
after
some
wheelings
in
a
careless
regard
of
the
Enemy
,
as
if
they
feared
not
to
make
which
way
they
pleased
,
they
drew
likewise
into
the
Town
,
as
did
that
Brigade
which
opposed
the
Regiments
of
the
Lord
Gray
,
Colonel
Blague
,
Gibbons
,
and
Marsh.
But
they
stayed
not
long
there
;
but
as
if
their
pent
spirits
had
broke
out
with
greater
fury
,
they
sallied
out
in
great
Bodies
upon
the
Generals
side
,
who
had
now
brought
the
Militia-Forces
into
play
,
the
Veterans
wisely
detrecting
to
engage
first
upon
the
Storm
which
was
then
intended
;
but
there
was
yet
field-matter
enough
to
do
.
In
the
head
of
one
of
those
Squadrons
,
the
King
himself
Charged
with
that
gallantry
which
would
have
become
our
admiration
in
other
men
,
and
shewed
he
had
not
forgot
the
Discipline
of
War
in
which
he
had
been
brought
up
from
his
youth
:
In
one
of
those
Charges
he
made
,
Duke
Hamilton
,
a
better
Souldier
,
and
noble
gallanter
person
than
his
Brother
,
received
a
shot
in
his
Thigh
,
whereof
presently
after
he
died
.
The
loss
that
was
sustained
by
the
Enemy
,
fell
principally
upon
the
Essex-Foot
,
and
those
of
Cheshire
and
Surrey
,
who
returned
in
thin
Troops
and
Companies
to
their
Counties
:
but
fresh
and
entire
Brigades
and
Regiments
,
in
Reserves
,
namely
Desborough's
Regiment
of
Horse
,
Cromwel's
of
Horse
,
Major-General
Lambert's
of
Horse
,
Whaley's
,
Harrison's
,
and
Tomlinson's
Brigades
,
with
other
Foot
re-inforcing
them
;
the
Scots
by
the
over-powering
multitude
were
driven
into
the
Town
,
Lesley
with
2000
Horse
(
upon
what
account
not
known
)
not
stirring
out
of
the
Town
to
relieve
them
,
when
the
Enemy
entred
pell-mell
with
them
,
and
gained
the
Fort-Royal
about
seven
a
clock
at
night
,
at
which
time
the
King
left
the
Town
,
The
King
defeated
at
Worcester
,
Sep.
3.
it
being
dusk
,
and
accompanied
with
some
60
Horse
of
the
chiefest
and
most
confident
of
his
Retinue
,
(
though
many
more
pressed
to
bear
him
Company
)
departed
out
of
St.
Martins
gate
;
and
it
was
reported
that
Cobbet
very
narrowly
mist
of
him
as
the
King
left
his
Lodging
,
whither
he
first
hastned
.
The
Enemies
Foot
was
now
got
into
the
Town
,
and
according
to
their
order
fell
a
Plundering
the
Town
in
a
most
barbarous
manner
,
as
if
Turks
were
again
Sacking
of
Constantinople
,
and
giving
no
Quarter
to
any
they
found
in
the
Streets
:
Through
this
their
greediness
of
spoil
,
they
kept
the
Horse
out
,
lest
they
should
have
shared
the
better
part
,
and
to
that
purpose
kept
the
Gates
fast
as
they
were
,
and
so
favoured
(
as
God
would
have
it
)
the
Kings
escape
.
Some
Scots
who
had
got
into
one
of
the
Churches
held
out
till
next
morning
,
when
they
obtained
Quarter
for
Life
,
by
which
time
there
was
not
an
Inhabitant
in
Worcester
Friend
or
Foe
left
Unplundered
:
Worcester
miserably
plundered
.
but
the
Loyal
Inhabitants
soon
recovered
themselves
,
being
supplied
with
fresh
Wares
to
their
desires
from
London
,
without
any
scruple
of
credit
or
payment
,
and
their
Debts
forborn
till
such
time
as
God
should
enable
them
;
which
the
Gentry
and
Inhabitants
round
about
them
endeavoured
to
bring
to
pass
,
by
th●i●
more
than
ordinary
resort
to
that
Market
,
for
all
necessaries
,
and
upon
all
occasions
.
The
Mayor
(
being
Knighted
by
the
King
)
and
Aldermen
were
Committed
to
Prison
,
and
the
Wife
of
one
Guyes
(
who
for
betraying
the
designes
of
the
King
in
that
Garrison
was
Hanged
)
was
rewarded
with
200
l.
per
annum
,
A
Traytor
hanged
,
and
his
Widow
bountifully
rewarded
.
and
200

There
were
slain
in
Field
,
and
in
Town
(
in
the
last
the
most
)
and
in
pursuit
,
some
2000
,
and
some
8000
taken
Prisoners
in
several
places
,
most
of
the
English
escaping
by
their

the
principal
were

with

he
had
set
up
when
he
Summoned
the
Country
,
the
Kings
Coach
and
Horses
,
and
Collar
of
SS
;
but
that
which
was
ten
times
more
worth
than
all
,
the
Kings
Person
,
they
had
no
power
to
touch
.
He
(
as
was
said
before
)
departed
in
the
dusk
,
leaving
Colonel
Carcles
(
now
by
the
King
(
in
honour
of
his
carefulness
of
his
Majesties
person
)
Named
Carlos
,
and
a
Coat
of
Arms
pointing
at
this
service
added
)
in
his
Rear
,
to
keep
the
Enemy
in
dispute
while
he
was
something
onward
on
his
way
,
and
the
dusk
and
deliberation
might
favour
his
escape
.
To
which
end
,
all
persons
about
him
were
Commanded
to
speak
French
;
The
King
deliberates
whither
to
fly
.
and
a
present
consultation
was
held
which
course
they
should
steer
,
and
it
was
resolved
by
the
Earl
of
Derby
,
that
they
should
make
what
speed
they
could
,
and
recover
a
place
called
Whiteladies
before
morning
,
which
was
some
25
miles
from
Worcester
;
and
thereupon
one
Mr.
Giffard
then
in
the
Company
was
called
,
for
his
guidance
thither
,
it
belonging
to
his
Family
,
and
one
Walker
that
had
been
formerly
a
Scout-master
in
the
Kings
Army
was
his
assistant
;
yet
the
way
was
mistaken
as
they
passed
a
Heath
,
but
by
good
providence
soon
recovered
.
Betwixt
three
and
four
a
Clock
the
King
reached
this
place
,
and
Mr.
Giffard
(
after
some
knocking
at
the
Door
)
called
up
one
George
Penderill
,
a
servant
in
the
House
,
who
heating
and
knowing
his
Voice
,
●an
down
in
his
Shirt
and
opened
the
Door
,
and
the
King
and
his
Retinue
entred
;
where
after
a
little
debate
about
the
security
of
his
person
,
the
said
Earl
having
called
thither
William
Penderill
the
House-keeper
of
Boscobel
,
and
another
dispatcht
towards
Tong
to
see
if
the
Coast
was
yet
clear
;
His
Majesty
having
had
his
Hair
cut
off
,
and
his
Buff-doublet
and
Linnen-breeches
Buried
,
and
disguised
in
Country-Habit
,
was
with
adjuration
of
the
Fidelity
of
the
Penderills
(
who
were
with
their
Brother-in-law
George
Yates
in
number
five
)
Committed
and
intrusted
by
the
Earl
of
Derby
to
their
Tuition
,
which
they
most
solemnly
and
dutifully
promised
.
Then
the
Earl
and
the
rest
of
the
Lords
,
The
Lords
leave
him
at
Whiteladies
.
viz.
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
and
that
train
,
with
Tears
took
their
leave
(
Derby
would
have
staid
;
but
there
was
no
probability
of
secrecy
for
two
)
and
the
Lord
Wilmot
with
Iohn
Penderil
withdrew
himself
from
that
Company
to
another
retreat
:
The
rest
(
except
the
Duke
,
who
lay
concealed
in
other
friends
houses
about
that
Country
)
were
taken
as
aforesaid
at
Newport
by
Lilburns
Horse
,
the
same
who
had
defeated
the
Earl
of
Derby
,
who
now
rendred
himself
a
Prisoner
to
one
Captain
Edge
of
Lancashire
,
on
promise
of
quarter
for
Life
.
As
soon
as
the
King
was
thus
left
by
his
Company
,
The
King
in
the
wood
Thursday
morning
Sep.
4.
with
a
Wood-hill
in
his
hand
he
was
conducted
into
a
Wood
or
Coppice
neer
adjoyning
,
borrowing
the
Name
of
William
Iones
a
Wood-cutter
newly
come
thither
for
Work
,
and
was
accordingly
instructed
in
his
Tongue
and
Behaviour
.
That
day
proved
very
wet
,
so
that
Yate's
Wife
brought
him
a
Blanket
to
cover
him
,
and
a
dish
of
Milk
and
Apples
for
his
refreshment
,
and
at
night
against
his
coming
home
(
where
the
Mother
of
the
Penderils
at
her
Son
Richard's
most
joyfully
welcomed
him
)
provided
an
ordinary
Country
Supper
:
which
ended
,
the
King
with
Richard
his
Guide
resolving
for
Wales
,
went
to
one
Mr.
Wolfe
's
of
Madely
,
The
King
at
Madely
.
where
for
fear
of
search
,
the
King
was
fain
to
take
up
his
quarters
in
the
Barn
;
Mr.
Wolfe
and
his
Wife
attending
on
him
there
,
while
no
accomodations
was
good
enough
for
his
Rebels
,
now
lying
in
multitudes
up
and
down
that
Country
.
Here
his
Majesty
understood
that
the
Passes
over
the
Water
and
the
River
Severn
were
so
guarded
,
that
it
was
unfeasible
●or
him
to
adventure
over
into
Wales
,
so
that
on
Friday-night
the
King
retreated
in
his
Woolen
accoutrements
about
his
Legs
,
in
which
he
had
lain
in
that
hard
lodging
in
great
pain
and
soreness
,
to
Boscobel
,
To
Boscobel
.
where
he
found
Colonel
Carlos
,
who
had
also
betaken
himself
thither
for
shelter
:
by
his
direction
that
Saturday
the
King
went
into
the
Wood
,
from
the
pleasantness
whereof
the
House
took
its
name
,
and
by
his
assistance
ascended
into
the
top
of
that
most
Celebrated
Oak
,
Col.
Carlos
directs
the
King
to
the
Oak
.
which
being
thick
with
Branches
stretching
and
shaddowing
foreright
,
was
altogether
impervious
to
the
sight
;
and
here
the
Colonel
bore
him
Company
while
He
laid
his
Head
and
slept
upon
a
Pillow
in
his
Lap
:
At
night
they
both
descended
and
came
into
the
House
,
and
refresht
themselves
.
The
King
perceiving
the
secrecy
of
the
place
,
was
not
willing
to
keep
longer
abroad
:
Sunday
the
King
past
away
in
a
kinde
of
Arbour
or
Banquetting-house
at
the
end
of
the
Garden
.
At
this
House
Iohn
Penderil
found
him
,
being
sent
before
by
the
Lord
Wilmot
,
to
conduct
him
to
Mr.
Whitgraves
at
Mosely
,
whither
with
much
difficulty
and
danger
he
himself
had
arrived
;
but
the
safety
there
answered
all
.
The
King
approved
of
the
Lord
Wilmot's
Residence
,
and
on
Munday
night
(
with
the
guard
of
the
five
Brethren
)
on
Humphrey
the
Millers
Horse
,
and
like
accoutrements
,
came
to
Mr.
Whitgrave's
,
At
Mosely
with
Mr.
Whitgrave
.
where
he
was
joyfully
welcomed
by
the
Lord
and
that
Gentleman
,
and
conveyed
into
a
secret
place
;
and
there
consultation
was
held
,
for
a
further
progression
in
this
happy
escape
;
To
Bently
with
Mrs.
Jane
Lane
for
Bristol
.
and
to
this
purpose
one
Colonel
Lane
of
Bentley
was
made
acquainted
with
it
,
and
by
them
agreed
,
that
Mrs.
Iane
Lane
,
upon
pretence
of
assisting
at
the
Child-bed
of
her
Sister
,
should
Ride
to
Bristol
,
and
the
King
as
her
Servant
before
her
,
with
Mr.
Lassels
and
his
Wife
behinde
him
;
a
Pass
accordingly
having
been
procured
.
On
their
way
thither
,
the
Lord
Wilmot
(
as
of
chance
)
met
with
them
,
The
King
met
by
the
Lord
Wilmot
.
having
a
Hauk
on
his
Fist
;
and
so
they
journeyed
together
to
Bromsgrove
,
where
the
Kings
Horse
losing
a
Shoe
,
His
Majesty
was
forced
to
carry
the
Horse
to
a
Farrier
,
who
enquiring
of
News
of
the
King
,
and
being
answered
with
the
success
of
the
Fight
at
Worcester
,
but
that
the
King
was
escaped
into
Scotland
;
replied
,
that
no
doubt
the
King
was
secretly
somewhere
in
England
,
The
dangerous
Expression
of
a
Farrier
.
and
wisht
he
knew
where
,
for
that
he
could
get
1000
l.
by
taking
of
him
.
That
he
providentially
mist
,
the
King
departing
from
thence
to
Evesham
,
The
King
by
Evesham
.
where
advising
how
to
avoid
Troopers
then
Grazing
their
Horses
in
the
Meadows
adjoyning
,
they
light
upon
them
in
a
neer
Village
,
but
were
civilly
past
:
from
thence
to
Cirencester
to
the
Crown
,
At
Cirencester
to
Mr.
Nortons
at
Leigh
.
where
one
night
they
Lodged
,
and
so
to
Bristol
,
within
three
miles
of
which
place
was
the
House
of
Mr.
Norton
at
Leigh
,
the
designed
Journeys
end
.
Here
the
King
feigned
himself
sick
,
and
took
his
Chamber
by
the
order
and
care
of
Mrs.
Lane
;
but
the
next
morning
coming
into
the
Celler
,
He
was
taken
notice
of
by
the
Butler
,
one
Iohn
Pope
,
a
Souldier
formerly
in
His
Majesties
Army
,
who
upon
an
intent
look
discerned
him
,
and
in
all
dutiful
manner
discovered
to
him
his
trusty
discovery
of
the
King
,
which
gained
His
Majesties
belief
so
far
as
to
employ
him
in
getting
a
Ship
for
his
Transportation
.
Thence
the
King
was
conducted
by
the
Lord
Wilmot
to
one
Colonel
Windham's
at
Trent
in
Dorsetshire
,
where
,
though
to
the
knowledge
of
six
or
seven
persons
of
that
Houshould
,
He
yet
continued
almost
three
weeks
,
in
expectation
of
a
passage
from
Lime
.
Soon
after
his
arrival
here
,
Mrs.
Iane
Lane
with
Mr.
Lassels
parted
,
being
openly
entertained
as
Kinsfolk
,
and
came
in
safety
back
again
to
Staffordshire
.
The
occurrences
that
happened
here
,
I
cannot
certainly
relate
,
onely
the
King
was
disappointed
of
a
Passage
,
which
a
Merchant
had
procured
for
him
at
Lime
;
but
by
some
strange
accident
(
though
it
pleased
God
no
dangerous
one
)
he
performed
not
his
Word
,
though
a
very
Loyal
and
True-hearted
person
.
The
King
was
a
while
Sick
at
this
place
.
The
King
and
Lord
Wilmot
in
danger
of
discovery
at
Chayermouth
The
Lord
Wilmot
who
lay
hereabouts
,
was
employed
about
this
shipping
with
Colonel
Windham
;
but
this
errour
or
disappointment
had
like
to
have
proved
his
ruine
,
by
the
shooing
of
his
Horse
,
(
there
was
one
Mr.
Hen.
Peters
that
attended
him
for
his
Guide
.
)
The
Ostler
and
the
Smith
,
who
discovered
by
the
Shoos
that
they
and
the
Gentlemen
were
come
somewhere
from
the
Northern
parts
by
their
manner
of
Nailing
them
,
presently
raising
a
rumour
of
the
King
being
thereabouts
,
and
some
Horse
presently
scoured
the
Road
to
London
;
but
his
Lordship
was
got
away
by
providence
,
and
the
King
directed

came
to
Bridport
;
where
,
as
't
is
since
reported
,
he
had
like
to
have
been
known
by
an
Ostler
,
as
he
was
setting
up
the
Horses
,
who
welcomed
him
,
as
having
formerly
seen
him
at
Exeter
,
but
did
not
fully
at
present
discern
him
;
and
the
King
with
a
proffer
of
drinking
with
him
when
he
was
more
at
leisure
,
withdrew
himself
from
any
further
sight
of
him
.
That
night
they
touched
at
Broad-Windsor
,
where
again
the
King
met
with
some
disturbance
by
Souldiers
,
then
filling
those
places
in
order
to
their
shipping
for
Iersey
.
The
King
now
returned
to
Mr.
Windham's
with
the
Lord
Wilmot
,
who
had
overtaken
them
,
and
passed
by
them
at
Bridport
as
was
agreed
,
and
thence
(
for
it
could
not
be
safe
to
continue
longer
in
that
place
)
was
sent
to
Salisbury
to
look
out
for
another
Sanctuary
,
and
to
confer
to
that
purpose
with
Mr.
Coventry
,
who
agreed
to
bring
the
King
to
Mrs.

drinking
in

the
Host
seeing
the

stand
off

as
a

said
,
Thou
look'st

's

Health
to
the

;
who
unreadily
answering
it
,
made
the
man
expostulate
with
the
Colonel
what
Fellow
he
had
brought
:
)
Here
the
King
(
the
Servants
being
sent
abroad
)
was
introduced
to
a
secret
place
,
having
visited
Stonehenge
upon
that
plain
,
attended
onely
with
Colonel
Robert
Philips
(
also
Dr.
Hinchman

Bishop
of
Salisbury
had
the
honour
to
be
made
acquainted
with
the
Kings
Condition
)
and
the
Colonel
presently
dispatcht
away
to
procure
some
shipping
at
Southampton
,
where
the
Barks
being
taken
up
and
employed
by
the
Juncto
,
after
he
had
hired
one
,
he
returned
with
his
labour
lost
,
save
that
he
met
with
Colonel
Gunter
,
who
being
informed
of
the
business
,
happily
ingaged
another
at
Brighthemstead
in
Sussex

the

(
and
the
Lord

of
this
Noble

having
formerly
seen
him
in
the
Downs
,
when
he
obtained
the
release

Whereupon
the
King
was
beckoned
to
come
and
confer
with
the
Master

Tetershal
resolves
to
proceed
in
his
voyage
with
the
King

who
being
wrought
upon
by
promises
,
and
Money
paid
down
,
and
his
own
Loyalty
,
agreed
to
perform
his
bargain
,
and
departed
to
call
up
his
Marriners
then
on
shore
,
pretending
his
ship
half
laden
with
Coles
was
a
drift
;
and
coming
home
for
a
Bottle
of
Aqua
Vitae
,
his
Wife
by
the
unseasonableness
of
the
night
suspecting
the
truth
,
encouraged
him
to
the
undertaking
,
not
caring
(
as
she
said
)
if
she
and
her
little
ones
begg'd
their
Bread
so
the
King
were
Transported
in
safety
.
The
Iune-keeper
also
guessing
at
the
matter
,
gave
the
King
an
apprecation
,
King
Embarques

and
himself
the
hopes
of
being
somebody
hereafter
.
About
five
a
clock
,
in
the
dark
of
the
morning
,
about
the
20
of
October

the
King
Embarqued

with
the
Lord
Wilmot

keeping

all
that

passage

In
their
passage
the
King
sitting
upon

observing

directing

course

as
they
call
it

Conning
the

of
the
Marriners
blowing
Tobacco
in
the
Kings
Face

the
Master

Arrives
at
Rohan
,
to
Paris
.
]
At
Rohan
the
King
had
his
Cloaths
changed
by
two
English
Merchants
residing
there
,
and
was
there
saluted
(
though
at
first
hardly
known
)
by
Doctor
Earls
after
Lord-Bishop
of
Worcester
;
and
upon
notice
of
his
arrival
,
the
Queen-Mother
,
and
Duke
of
Orleans
,
and
that
whole
Court
went
out
to
meet
him
,
and
congratulate
his
wonderful
Deliverance
.
A
Providence
indeed
not
parallell'd
in
History
,
and
able
to
have
convinced
his
Rebels
,
if
their
rage
had
not
blinded
them
;
but
it
cheered
the
mindes
and
hopes
of
his
Subjects
,
by
this
pledge
of
their
salvation
in
this
marvellous
protection
of
Gods
Anointed
:
no
less
than
50
men
and
women
being
privy
to
his
escape
.
But
very
few
of
his
Nobles
and
Officers
that
came
in
with
him
escaped
.
Most
of
the
Scots
taken
Prisoners
.
David
Lesley
and
Lieutenant-General
Middleton
were
taken
in
Lancashire
,
and
carried
Prisoners
to
Chester
,
whence
the
Earl
of
Lauderdale
,
Earls
of
Kelly
and
Rothes
,
&c.
were
Committed
to
the
Tower
,
from
whence
the
Lord
Middleton
happily
escaped
;
the
rest
were
(
not
long
after
)
sent
to
Windsor-Castle
,
where
they
continued
till
the
Restitution

Cromwel
came
to
London
,
and
was
met
about
Acton
with
the
Speaker
and
the
Members
,
and
the
Lord
Mayor
,
and
Recorder
Steel
,
who
in
a
set
Speech
congratulated
his
great
Successes
,
and
like
a
false
Prophet
,
by
a
mistaken
Prolepsis
,
applied
these
words
of
the
Psalmist
,
—
To
binde
their
Kings
in
Chains
,
and
their
Nobles
in
Fetters
of
Iron
,
The
Prisoners
sold.
The
Colours
taken
,
hanged
up
in
Westminster
-
hall

in
an
arrogant
Exaltation
of
his
Atchievements
.
Next
day
the
Common
Prisoners
(
being
driven
like
a
herd
of
Swine
)
were
brought
through
Westminster
into
Tuthill-Fields
,
(
a
sadder
spectacle
was
never
seen
,
except
the
miserable
place
of
their
defeat
)
and
there
sold
to
several
Merchants
,
and
sent
to
the
Barbadoes
;
the
Colours
taken
,
were
likewise
hanged
up
in
Westminster-hall
,
with
those
taken
before
at
Preston
and
Dunbar

where
the
Kings

Robes
,
the
Cloth
of

Scots
had
conveyed
the
best
part
of

Moveables
as
a

being
then
in

cups

worse
drunk
with
a
haughty
confidence
,
after
a
short
but
sharp
resistance
,
mastered
the
place
;
and
put
all
they
found
in
Arms
to
the
Sword

plundered
the
Town
of
all
its
former
and
newly-put-in
wealth

The
Town
miserably
plundred

which
amounted
to
vast
sums

Houshould-goods
were
of
so
mean
an
account

that
nothing
but
Plate
and
Money
was
regarded
,
and
for
which
Feather-beds
were
ript
,
and
the
Feathers
thrown
about
;
for
it
was
absolutely
the
richest
Town
in
Scotland
,
but
now
lest
not
worth
a
groat
:
there
were
taken
here
also
60
sail
of

sorts
of
ships

lay
in

Harbour

was
fined
500

for
not
surrendring
upon

Summons

Fined
500

upon

forth
that

not
without
suspition
of
their
own
setting
themselves
,

at
least
of
some
treacherous
persons
among
them

now
Lord-Arch-bishop

five

six
more

with
70
Servants

the
Souldiers
that
took

had
as
good
(
if
not
a
better
)
Market
than
the
Dundee-blades
,
getting
many
of
them
500
,
or
400
pounds
apiece
,
and
all
of
them
very
considerable
sums
.
These
Lords
and
Lairds
,
and
their
fellows
the
Ministers
,
were
●hipt
for
London
(
that
they
might
give
no
disturbance
to

Parliaments
new-intended
settlement
and
union
of
that
Kingdom
with

favour
from

to
stay
at

Son-in-laws

A
New
Representative
debated
of
.
The
first
thing
the
Parliament
now
debated
upon
after
Cromwel's
sitting
in
the
House
,
was
a
new
Representative
,
at
his
instance
and
motion
;
which
same
project
he
had
hinted
covertly
in
all
his
Letters
to
the
Parliament
,
under
the
true
interest
of
a
Commonwealth-Foundation
:
but
that
which
was
least
talkt
of
,
and
mainly
intended
,
was
an
Act
for
the
encouragement
of
the
English
Navigation
;
the
Soveraignty
at
Sea
,
being
the
main
controversie
which
both
in
point
of
Honour
and
Interest
,
neither
State
(
we
nor
the
Dutch
)
would
acknowledge
to
the
other
.
The
High
Court
of
Justice
pardons
Mr.
Jenkins
and
others
.
The
Judges
of
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
now
proceeded
where
they
left
off
with
Mr.
Love
,
in
the
Presbyterian-Plot
;
and
accordingly
on
the
10
of
October
Colonel
Vanghan
a
Leatherseller
,
Captain
Hugh
Massey
,
Mr.
Ienkins
,
Mr.
Drake
,
did
all
of
them
confess
their
fault
and
guilt
,
alledging
onely
for
defence
their
Oath
of
Secrecy
,
&c.
After
this
confession
they
were
remanded
to
Prison
;
but
at
the
intercession
of
the
Lord
Fairfax
,
as
't
is
supposed
,
and
to
honour
their
late-acquired
Victory
,
the
Parliament
was
pleased
upon
their
Petitions
(
that
of
Mr.
Ienkins
coming
home
to
their
haughty
humour
,
and
acknowledging
their
Authority
from
God
,
and
which
was
Printed
here
by
their
Order
for
a
pattern
to
the
rest
of
the
Presbyters
,
and
reprinted
at
Holland
,
to
divulge
their
other
Conquest
over
the
stubborn
Rabbinical
Tribe

they
were
quitted
of
their
Imprisonment
,
and
restored
.
But
though
they
escaped
,
it
was
not
other
persons
good
hap
:
A
Court
Marshal
was
now
established
at
Chester
,
whither
divers
English
Prisoners
taken
at
Newport
and
in
the
pursuit
had
been
brought
;
ten
whereof
were
Comdemned
by
Vertue
of
the
Act
against
holding
correspondence
with
the
King
;
and
five
Executed
,
among
whom
was
one
Captain
Symkins
,
Cap.
Symkins
,
Sir
Timothy
Fetherstonhaugh
,
and
Col.
Benbow
Executed
,
Oct.
a
Gentleman
that
carried
the
Kings
Letter
of
Invitation
to
Sir
Thomas
Middleton
;
and
presently
after
Sir
Timothy
Fetherstonhaugh
,
Colonel
Benbow
,
and
the
Earl
of
Derby
,
were
Tryed
by
the
same
Court-Marshal
,
wherein
Colonel
Mackworth
(
above
mentioned
)
sate
President
,
and
Major-General
Mitton
assisted
,
with
other
standing
Officers
.
The
Earl
would
fain
have
been
heard
by
the
Members
at
Westminster
,
and
writ
up
to
the
General
,
and
sent
a
Petition
,
offering
the
surrender
of
the
Isle
of
Man
;
but
nothing
would
move
the
inexorable
Rhadamanths
of
the
Parliament
,
though
he
had
subjoyned
an
account
of
the
designe
,
at
their
own
or
their
Agents
desire
:
whereupon
,
he
held
to
his
Plea
for
Quarter
given
him
by
Captain
Edge
;
which
being
over-ruled
with
the
same
argument
and
solution
as
they
made
to
the
Lord
Capel
,
they
avowing
the
Court
to
be
a
Civil
Authority
,
as
proceeding
upon
and
by
direction
of
Authority
of
Parliament
,
he
,
as
the
other
two
Gentlemen
afterwards
,
was
adjudged
to
dye

Earl

Sir
Timothy
at
Chester
by
the
Axe
,
and
Colonel
Benbow
to
be
shot
at
Shrewsbury
.
After
Sentence
the
Earl
made
an
escape
out
of
the
Window
,
being
as
't
is
supposed
,
Tranpann'd
out
of
some
money
in
hope
and
proffer
of
an
Escape
;
but
was
presently
retaken
upon
the
sands
of
the
River
Dee
,
and
secured
and
guarded
till
the
day
of
his
Martyrdom
at
Bolton
aforesaid
,
where
to
the
publike
grief
and
lamentation
of
the
Inhabitants
,
who
refused
to
lend
a
Nail
or
Stick
to
the
building
of
the
Scaffold
though
the
very
pretence
of
his
Execution
there
,
was
for
the
Blood
spilt
there
by
him
on
Prince
Rupert's
Storming
the
Town
in
1644.
)
which
was
the
reason
it
was
late
ere
he
suffered
,
and
beyond
his
appointed
time
by
three
hours
,
piously
spent
by
him
:
He
most
Christianly
and
worthy
of
all
Memory
gave
up
his
Soul
to
his
Redeemer
,
being
a
little
troubled
at
his
longer
detainer
in
this
Vale
of
misery
,
by
the
Executioner's
missing
the
Signe
.
And
this
sad
occasion
will
direct
us
to
a
further
account

having
escaped
the
fate
of
that
day
at

and
being
tired
with
Riding
,
having
wounds
yet
green
,
threw
himself
at

upon

engaging
his

when
he
was
removed
likewise
to

after
made

The
often-to-be-with-Honour-mentioned
Colonel

off

for
Robbing

being
from

carried
to
the
next
Assizes

was
at

An
Act
for
sale
of
Delinquents
Lands
had
passed
some
time
before
;
now
their
Trustees
with
Boon
Courage
resolved
to
proceed
,
the
danger
of
voiding
their
Trusts
and
the
Authority
conferred
on
them
being
now
past
,
and
some
more
Grist
being
like
to
come
into
their
Mill
by
new
Forfeitures
;
wherefore
they
appointed
the
8
day
of
September
for
their
sitting
down
,
in
pursuance
of
those
powers
granted
by
the
said
Act
of
Sale
,
The
Estates
of
the
Lord
Craven
and
other
Royalists
exposed
to
sale
.
and
chose
Drury-house
(
the
Mansion
of
the
Lord
Craven
)
for
the
place
of
their
Sitting
;
where
they
made
several
conveniencies
for
their
Registers
,
Accountants
,
Cashiers
,
and
Clerks
,
like
to
any
other
legal
Office
,
and
there
with
other
Estates
exposed
that
Lord

to
common
sale
.
The
Members
had
appointed
the
second
of
October
for
the
Thanksgiving-day
for
this
Worcester-Victory
;
but
because
they
would
have
it
Celebrated
with
the
greater
solemnization
by
notice
thereof

together
,
they
adjourned
it

deceased
on
the
19
of
August
before
,
attended
by
Cromwel
and
most
of
the
Members
,
was
Interred
in
Westminster-Abbey
.
This
day
was
without
any
more
scruple
punctually
observed
;
the
Presbyterians
,
who
were
in
the
best
Livings
generally
,
(
and
indeed
no
body
else
scarce
in
any
)
not
offering
to
mutter
against
the
Command
of
these
their
(
not-to-be-contended-with
)
Lords
and
Superiors
.
The
Scotch
affairs
were
now
the
consultation
of
the
Parliament
:
for
having
reduced
that
Kingdom
to
neer
a
plenary
Conquest
,
no
English
Forces
,
or
scarce
a
single
man
having
passed
so
far
as
their
Army
was
now
Quartered
and
in
Garrison
,
the
Civil
Government
was
very
fit
to
be
considered
of
,
and
how
it
should
be
managed
.
In
the
beginning
of
the
raign
of
King
Iames
,
much
pains
and
endeavours
were
used
by
Him
,
about
the
draught
and
accomplishment
of
an
Union
between
both
Kingdoms
,
The
Scotch
Union
projected
.
which
might
be
so
comprehensive
as
to
be
equally
advantagious
to
both
people
;
and
the
Lord
Bacon
writ
an
Elaborate
discourse
and
project
of
it
;
but
all
came
to
nothing
,
so
many
Scotch
proud
and
surly
difficulties
were
thereupon
raised
:
but
now
one
Weeks
work
finished
that
mighty
matter
in
a
short
Vote
and
Resolution
,
That
England
and
Scotland
shall
be
Incorporated
into
one
Commonwealth
;
Commissioners
named
to
go
into
Scotland
.
and

named
to

Kingdom

Titchburn
,
Major
Salway
,
Major-General

,
Colonel
Fenwick
,
and
General
Monke
,
before
whose
arrival
(
onely
Major-General
Lambert
and
Dean
were
upon
perambulation
of
the
limits
already
gained
,
and
receiving
submissions
and
granting
terms
)
several
of
the
Scotch
Nobility
(
whose
Ancestors
thought
the
English
Union
a
diminution
of
their
Greatness
,
and
disdainfully
rejected
all
tendencies
thereunto
)
came
quietly
in
,
having
made
a
bluster
of
doing
something
in
the
Highlands
;
such
were
the
Marquess
of
Huntly
(
who
to
be
repaired
of
some
injuries
done
him
by
Arguile
,
though
his
neer
Kinsman
,
thought
good
to
prevent
him
by
a
timely
acquiescence
,
upon
pact
of
having
right
done
him
in
the
said
controversie
)
the
Lord
Balcarris
,
the
Earls
of
Weems
,
Angus
and
Calendar
:
and
Arguile
himself
was
now
in
Treaty
;
but
to
shew
himself
more
considerable
,
held
it
on
foot
almost
half
a
year
,
guarding
his
Castles
the
County
,
and
Levying
Assessments
like
a
Prince
upon
the
Country
.
The
late
Marquess
of
Montross

Nor
were
the
Royal
Party
half
so
averse
and
intractable
to
the
English
Usurpation
(
for
they
had
(
as
they
well
hoped
)
shaken
off
the
insupportable
Tyranny
of
the
Presbytery
,
and
could
hardly
suffer
more
by
any
power
whatsoever
,
which
might
in
time
veer
about
unto
its
lawful
Scepter
)
as
the
Kirkmen
and
that
brood
,
who
having
lost
their
Arbitrary
and
most
Tyrannical
sway
over
the
Consciences
,
Estates
,
and
Lives
of
men
,
raged
at
this
Change
,
the
rather
for
having
fooled
and
bewitched
themselves
into
an
opinion
,
that
they
should
be
able
by
the
Keys
of
the
Kirk
(
which
they
doubted
not
to
re-establish
in
that
Kingdom
)
to
oversway
the
Sword
of
the
Sectary
,
and
to
bring
him
to
conform
,
there
being
such
a
proximity
in
many
of
their
Principles
,
assigning
to
themselves
that
time-serving
Complement
of
Oliver's
,
The
good
people
of
the
Nation
of
Scotland
,
that
were
to
be
preserved
in
their
Rights
,
Civil
and
Spiritual
;
and
accordingly
the
Grandees
of
the
Western
Remonstrants
took
upon
them
to
indict
an
Assembly
,
and
there
they
damned
all
which
had
been
done
by
the
late
Parliament
and
Assembly
,
and
published
a
Fast
,
with
the
grounds
wherefore
they
were
to
humble
themselves
(
which
being
ridiculous
Crambs
of
miscarriages
about
the
King
,
are
purposely
omitted
)
and
proceeded
afterwards
to
that
boldness
,
as
to
expostulate
and
refuse
in
Print
the
Tender
of
Union
for
several
Reasons
,
which
we
shall
hint
in
its
proper
place
.
Limerick
besieged
by
Deputy
Ireton
,
for
the
Parl.
In
Ireland
,
while
the
Deputy
Ireton
lay
before
Limerick
,
which
Siege
had
continued
most
part
of
the
Summer
,
the
Irish
played
pranks
,
offering
at
a
redemption
of
their
losses
;
but
were
too
far
spent
:
for
though
Colonel
Venables
,
Hewson
,
and
Reynolds
were
out
in
parties
to
attend
their
motion
,
Sir
Walter
Dungan
Stormed
Ross-Town
,
and
Castle-Iordan
,
and
had
carried
the
Castle
of
Ross
,
but
for
want
of
Provision
,
which
made
him
in
hast
to
retreat
into
his
Fastnesses
,
where
the
Marquess
Clanrickard
kept
about
Slego
and
the
County
of
Cavan
;
they
surprized
likewise
three
Troops
of
Colonel
Sanchy's
Regiment
,
and
the
notable
Quarter-beater
Nash
killed
Colonel
Cook
coming
with
a
party
from
Cork
;
but
was
slain
in
the
onslaught
,
though
his
party
were
victorious
.
The
besieged
likewise
in
Limerick
made
many
fierce
Salleys
,
refusing
to
hearken
to
any
Conditions
,

being
governed
by
that
right-valliant
Hugh
O
Neal
▪
who
defended
Clonmel
so
resolutely
,
and
resolved
to
hold
this
out
to
extremity
.
In
one
Salley
of
1000
men
they
killed
above
300
,
five
whereof
were
Captains
,
two
of
th●m
in
Colonel
Henry
Cromwel's
Regiment
;
and
upon
the
English
attempt
made
upon
the
Island
before
the
Town
,
which
was
encompassed
with
a
Line
,
and
a
Fort
in
the
middle
of
it
,
(
by
reason
the
Boats
not
being
able
to
carry
above
forty
men
,
and
being
but
three
Boats
in
all
,
could
not
return
with
seconds
to
make
good
the
Landing
and
footing
that
was
made
in
time
)
the
whole
party
consisting
of
160
,
was
partly
cut
off
and
drowned
with
their
Leaders
,
Major
Walker
,
Captain
Graves
,
and
Captain
Whiting
,
in
the
view
of
the
Leaguer
,
but
out
of
their
power
to
relieve
them
.
This
happened
on
the
15
of
Iuly
;
Ireton
defe●ted
before
Limerick
.
and
being
so
signal
a
defeat
,
was
imputed
by
Ireton
who
pret●nded
too
great
acquaintance
with
Gods
Counsels
)
to
breach
of
Articles
,
(
as
to
Quarter
promised
to
the
Irish
,
who
delivered
a
Castle
neer
adjoyning
)
by
Colonel
Tuthil
,
who
after
caused
the
men
to
be
knockt
on
the
head
,
and
for
which
he
was
worthily
by
Ireton
cashiered
the
Army
.
Ireton
was
nevertheless
resolute
not
to
depart
without
it
,
though
the
Governour
,
in
hopes
that
Winter
would
force
him
to
draw
off
,
or
else
some
happy
r●ncounter
,
might
relieve
him
,
was
as
obstinate
on
the
other
side
;
but
at
last
the
Victuals
being
all
spent
,
about
the
middle
of
October
he
was
forced
to
embrace
a
Treaty
,
hoping
for
those
Articles
which
Ireton
had
offered
the
Town
three
months
before
;
but
they
would
not
be
granted
,
so
that
in
conclusion
himself
and
21
more
were
constrained
to
yield
to
mercy
;

natured
to
mischief

the
evil
of
those
times
he
was
born

most
prodigiously
Infamous
:
no

great

his
impiety

Morter-pieces
first
played
,
one
of
which
lighting
and
bursting
in
the
Chappel
of
the
Castle
,
killed
some
20
men
,
and
tore
the
stones
into
shivers
,
and
made
him
the
willinger
to
Treat
.
Sir
George
having
clearly
indemnified
himself
and
the
Islanders
,
and
some
way
bettered
his
condition
,
departed
into
France
;
and
General
Blake
came
home
by
G●ernsey-Castle
,
which
having
faced
,
not
willing
to
attempt
or
stay
before
it
,
he
le●t
order
to
buy
it
;
which
was
now
about
this
time
effected
,
as
we
have
anterelated
it
,
(
in
the
account
of
its
storming
by
Major
Harrison
,
the
Commander
in
chief
of
that
Island
,
and
since
at
Iersey
)

fear
so
little
a
spot
of

should
have
mist
our
observation
.
Isle
of
Man
reduced
,
Dec.
The
Isle
of
Man
was
also
at
the
same
time
reduced
by
Colonel
Duckenfield
,
without
any
considerable
opposition
:
Rushen
and
Peel-Castle
stood
out
a
while
;
but
upon
the
news
of
the
Death
of
the
Earl
,
whom
Duckenfield
in
his
Letters
(
not
thinking
a
Summons
befitting
him
to
a
woman
)
had
stiled
the
late
Earl
of
Derby
,
grief
overcame
their
courage
;
and
it
being
resolved
before
to
deliver
it
,
as
the
Earl
had
proffered
:
that
former
resolution
da●ht
any
other
,
so
that
though
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
who
was
come
thither
out
of
Ireland
,
a
famous
Souldier
,
offered
to
have
maintained
Rushen-Castle
,
where
the
Lady
was
;
yet
upon
very
slender
terms
it
was
rendred
:
Into
such
distractions
do
the
continued
strokes
of
persecuting
Fortune
drive
the
most
resolute
mindes
,
that
the
most
constant
magnanimity
(
for
which
this
Countess
was
highly
famous
,
as
at
Latham-house
)
is
at
last
depressed
,
and
forced
to
submit
to
her
arbitrary
and
uncontrolable
Tyranny
.
The
Isle
of
Barbadoes
,
where
the
King
had
been
Proclaimed
,
and
was
now
in
open
defiance
of
the
Parliament
,
and
prosecuted
their
Trade
onely
with
the
Hollanders
,
was
the
next
and
onely
place
to
be
reduced
,
with
some
other
of
the
Caribbe-Islands
there
adjacent
.
About
the
16
of
Octob.
Sir
George
Ayscue
having
coasted
several
places
about
Spain
and
Portugal
,
to
finde
out
Prince
Rupert
,
arrived
at
Barbadoes
,
Barbadoes
reduced
by
Sir
Geo
:
Ayscue
,
Jan.
in
Carlisle-bay
,
where
he
found
fourteen
sail
of
Hollanders
in
the
Road
;
and
to
prevent
their
running
on
shore
,
sent
in
the
Amity
Frigat
commanded
by
Captain
Peck
,
with
three
other
ships
,
to
seize
them
;
who
presently
Commanded
the
respective
Masters
aboard
,
and
so
gained
the
Vessels
,
and
kept
them
as
prize
,
for
Trading
with
the
Enemies
of
the
Common-wealth
in
that
Island
,
with
three
other
Hollanders
,
as
they
were
sailing
to
the
other
Islands
.
The
Fleet
having
plied
up
and
down
in
the
sight
of
the
Islanders
,
who
were
now
in
Arms
to
the
number
of
4000
Horse
and
Foot
,
came
to
anchor
at
Spikes-bay
:
and
the
Virginia-Merchant-Fleet
arriving
in
December
,
Sir
George
advised
it
very
advantageous
for
the
Service
,
by
the
countenance
of
those
ships
which
seemed
as
his
reserve
of
Men
of
War
,
to
attempt
a
landing
;
which
accordingly
was
done
by
a
Regiment
of
700
men
,
made
up
with
150
Scotch
Slaves
,
the
rest
being
Seamen
.
This
was
effected
on
the
17
of
December
,
and
the
Islanders
beaten
up
to
their
Fort
,
which
on
a
sudden
was
by
them
deserted
,
after
the
loss
of
some
60
men
on
both
sides
,
and
the
same
Fort
,
and
four
pieces
of
Ordnance
gained
by
them
;
and
then
the
Seamen
retreated
again
to
the
ships
,
which
lay
crusing
up
and
down
continually
to
intercept
any
Trade
or
Traffick
coming
thither
.
That
inconvenience
made
some
of
the
Islanders
weary
of
the
War
:
which
Sir
George
very
well
understanding
,
negotiated
with
one
Colonel
Muddyford
,
a
chief
man
in
one
part
of
the
Island
,
about
a
peace
and
accommodation
;
and
the
conclusion
of
that
transaction
was
Muddyford's
publike
declaring
for
Peace
,
Lord
Willoughby
Governour
thereof
.
and
joyning
with
Sir
G
Ayscue
,
to
bring
the
Governour
the
Lord
Willoughby
to
reason
,
as
it
was
called
.
Sir
George
and
his
Forces
made
up
2000
Foot
,
and
100
Horse
,
so
that
to
avoid
the
uncertainty
of
battel
,
and
the
Effusion
of
blood
,
both
parties
agreed
to
treat
,
and
the
11
of
Ian.
agreed
upon
the
Rendition
on
Articles
every
day
comprehensive
and
honourable
.
Commissioners
names
for
Sir
George
were
,
Captain
Peck
,
Mr.
Searl
left
Governour
there
,
Colonel
Muddyford
,
and
Mr.
Colleton
;
and
for
the
Lord
Willoughby
,
Sir
Richard
Peers
,
Mr.
Charles
Pym
,
Colonel
Ellice
,
and
Major
Byham
:
his
Lordship
having
his
desired
Conditions
of
Indemnity
,
and
freedom
of
Estate
and
person
,
not
long
after
returned
into
England
,
St.
Christophers
the
same
.
as
did
Sir
George
,
having
vis●●ed
Mevis
and
St.
Christophers
.
Before
his
coming
,
Major-General
Poyntz
newly
Governour
thereof
had
shipt
himself
for
Virginia
,
the
onely
retreat
for
Royalists
,
as
lying
so
far
up
in
the
Continent
,
and
affording
subsistence
of
it self
.
Thus
nothing
remained
of
all
the
British
Dominions
,
either
of
profit
,
honour
,
or
security
to
the
Nation
,
which
their
Handmaid
Success
had
not
attained
to
;
and
that
in
as
short
a
space
of
time
,
as
the
most
indulgent
Fates
ever
apportioned
to
their
greatest
and
whitest
Favourites
;
whose
Glories
of
Conquest
they
increased
,
by
sparing
and
lessening
their
sweat
and
travail
in
the
Atchievement
.
In
Scotland
,
the
Major-Generals
-
Lambert
,
Dean
,
and
Lieutenant-General
Monke
,
had
brought
things
to
that
pass
,
that
the
people
were
rated
by
Assessments
towards
the
charge
of
the
Army
:
and
this
the
Kirk
in
their
new
Assembly
(
since
it
could
not
be
otherwise
)
would
permit
to
be
paid
;
but
expresly
forbad
the
people
to
comply
,
or
give
meeting
,
or
cause
any
to
be
●ad
,
in
order
to
the
closing
with
the
Declaration
of
the
Commissioners
,
who
were
to
receive
from
the
Deputies
of
each
Shire
(
who
were
ordered
to
chuse
such
)
their
Subscriptions
to
the
projected
Union
,
now
directly
remonstrated
against
,
besides
other
arguments
,
yea
and
from
the
Covenant
,
The
Scotch
Kirk
reject
,
and
declare
against
the
Union
.
from
this
main
one
,
because
that
incorporation
would
draw
with
it
a
subordination
of
the
Kirk
to
the
State
in
the
things
of
Christ
:
for
here
the
Shop
painfully
wrung
them
.
This
was
dated
Ian.
the
21.
The
Parliament
to
correct
this
perversness
,
and
in
pursuance
of
their
Commissioners
Declaration
to
the
same
purpose
,
Decreed
,
1.
An
Act
for
the
Vnion
,
Abolishing
Kingly
Goverment
,
&c.
and
for
punishing
such
as
should
contrav●ne
or
offend
against
the
meaning
and
purpose
of
the
said
Act.
2.
That
in
Complyance
with
the
said
Vnion
,
the
Shires
or
Burghs
should
Chuse
their
Deputies
or
Burgesses
in
a
proportionable
number
as
the
Parliament
should
think
fit
to
represent
them
in
Parliament
;
and
this
was
stiled
a
great
favour
,
and
a
freeing
the
Nation
from
the
villanage
of
their
Heritors
,
Lairds
and
Lords
,
most
of
whose
Estates
(
that
were
in
the
two
late
Invasions
with
Hamilton
and
at
Worcester
)
they
had
declared
Confiscate
,
together
with
all
the
Crown-lands
and
Houses
,
to
the
use
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
towards
the
defraying
of
the
charge
of
this
their
labour
of
Love
,
in
the
reducing
of
that
Kingdom
.
The
Bishops
lands
could
not
be
found
,
for
the
Kirk
had
mingled
and
mixt
them
with
their
own
sacred
rights
and
perquisites
,
so
that
the
most
quick-sighted
sacriledge
could
hardly
discern
them
.
By
these
Summons
the
Deputies
of
the
Shires
of
this
side
and
the
other
side
Tay
,
were
ordered
(
the
most
remote
)
to
appear
on
the
26
of
February
,
and
in
the
mean
time
,
about
the
black
30
of
Ianuary
,
the
Commissioners
proceeded
with
their
instructions
,
and
issued
out
several
Proclamations
against
the
King's
,
and
Monarchical
Government
,
and
that
Writs
should
no
longer
run
in
His
Name
,
and
Mutatis
mutandis
in
Scotland
as
in
England
;
Monarchy
abolished
in
Scotland
,
Jan.
His
Arms
defaced
,
and
for
an
English
Judicature
to
be
there
established
,
and
to
keep
the
Sessions
,
which
was
the
Term.
Thus
far
the
Political
and
Civil
Government
was
provided
for
already
;
nor
was
there
any
thing
of
Note
among
the
Martialists
,
save
the
taking
in
Dumbarton-Castle
,
Dumbarton
surrendered
,
Jan.
5
,
by
Sir
Charles
Erskin
,
to
the
Parliament
.
which
was
rendred
by
Sir
Charles
Erskin
upon
Articles
,
Ianuary
the
5
,
with
a
Salvo
to
the
Duke
of
Lenox
and
Richmond
of
his
Goods
and
Great
Guns
therein
,
as
being
the
proper
Goods
of
the
said
Duke
.
This
surrender
opened
a
way
to
the
same
terms
with
Bass-Island
(
the
most
dangerous
place
in
the
Frith
to
the
English
Navigation
)
some
time
after
.
Some
Forces
under
Colonel
Overton
landed
in
the
Isles
of
Orkney
,
and
Colonel
Fitch's
Regiment
marched
towards
Innerness
.
The
Dutch
had
rankled
with
spleen
at
the
successes
of
this
State
,
as
no
way
compatible
with
,
but
surmounting
those
indifferent
equal
Proposals
and
Overtures
made
before
the
accomplishment
thereof
:
and
perceiving
how
regardless
and
cool
the
Parliament
was
now
as
to
any
further
transaction
of
a
League
,
but
that
on
the
contrary
their
Fishing
was
molested
in
these
Seas
upon
the
old
Title
of
Soveraignty
,
The
Dutch
Commerce
,
and
Fishing
molested
at
Sea
.
and
that
upon
any
the
least
pretences
of
French
Goods
and
Lading
,
their
Merchant-ships
were
searched
,
stayed
,
and
sometimes
adjudged
Prize
;
thought
it
advisable
to
send
over
Embassadors
,
as
well
to
obtain
reparation
for
those
damages
,
as
to
provide
for
future
security
against
the
like
,
by
a
Treaty
;
and
in
case
they
perceived
the
aversness
or
untowardness
of
the
State
thereto
,
to
fully
inform
themselves
what
Naval
preparation
there
was
in
hand
,
and
in
what
readiness
,
and
how
the
Nation
stood
affected
to
or
would
yet
endure
the
Government
;
as
by
a
Copy
of
their
Instructions
since
appeared
.
The
Embassadors
,
Myn
heeren
Catz
,
Schaep
,
and
Vande
Perre
of
Zealand
(
as
of
custome
and
right
one
of
that
Province
must
be
in
the
Embassie
hither
)
were
ordered
to
be
gone
with
all
speed
,
upon
the
notice
of
the
Act
for
the
encouragem●nt
of
the
English-Navigation
,
&c.
But
the
Wind
blowing
at
Southwest
from
the
very
day
of
the
date
of
the
said
Act
,
neither
they
nor
other
ships
bound
thence
from
England
with
East
and
West-India
Commodities
,
Spice
and
such-like
,
could
stir
out
of
their
Ports
,
to
the
great
exasperation
of
that
people
;
who
when
they
see
the
day
elapsed
,
The
1
of
Dec.
the
time
limited
by
t●●
Act
,
●●omacked
by
the
Dutch.
being
the
first
of
December
,
and
had
notice
that
the
Parliament
would
not
allow
a
day
longer
(
even
to
the
English
themselves
upon
any
account
whatsoever
,
though
to
the
breaking
of
several
Merchants
,
whose
Estates
were
coming
over
in
such
Goods
thence
)
procured
the
Lords
to
make
an
Arrest
and
Imbargo
upon
all
English
ships
then
in
the
Texel
;
but
which
the
States
were
willing
soon
after
to
recal
,
and
make
shew
of
good
Correspondence
and
Friendship
,
as
in
this
and
other
occasions
they
yet
testified
.
The
Embassadors
with
the
first
opportunity
(
the
rather
to
prevent
Monsieur
Speering
,
then
at
the
Hague
,
and
Commissioned
by
the
Queen
of
Sweden
for
her
Embassador
into
England
,
as
unwilling
to
be
the
last
should
own
this
Common-wealth
)
put
to
Sea
,
and
arrived
here
about
the
middle
of
Ianuary
;
and
for
the
greater
credit
of
the
sincerity
of
their
intentions
to
Peace
and
Amity
,
they
brought
over
their
Families
,
by
which
it
might
appear
they
intended
to
stay
till
that
great
affair
was
finished
by
them
;
being
also
men
for
their
particular
persons
,
very
acceptable
to
the
State
here
.
The
Dutch
Embassadors
t●eat
January
.
Soon
after
their
Reception
they
had
Audience
in
the
Parliament-house
,
and
a
Committee
appointed
to
confer
with
them
,
by
whom
they
were
at
the
entrance
of
their
business
choaked
with
our
claim
to
and
their
dues
for
the
Herring-fishing
,
with
the
old
story
of
bloody
Amboyna
,
and
a
demand
of
a
Free-trade
in
the
Schelde
from
Middleburgh
to
Antwerpe
,
where
the
English
had
a
good
Trade
once
within
100
years
,
then
the
most
famous
Mart
of
the
Low-countries
,
yea
of
Europe
;
but
by
the
Hollanders
seizing
of
Flushing
,
and
building
the
Fort
Lillo
opon
that
River
in
their
Wars
against
the
Spaniard
,
the
Merchants
and
Inhabitants
,
disaffected
otherwise
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
in
the
beginning
of
that
War
betook
themselves
to
Amsterdam
,
which
by
the
sudden
breaking
in
of
the
Sea
,
and
breaking
down
of
Dams
,
became
a
most
convenient
and
capacious
Harbour
,
and
consequently
a
great
Mart
,
as
lying
most
opportune
for
the
Trade
of
the
East
,
and
North-East
Seas
.
Monsieur
Speering
arrived
here
likewise
,
and
was
well
received
a
short
while
after
,
and
laid
a
foundation
of
that
Treaty
,
which
was
afterwards
concluded
by
the
Lord
Whitlock
with
that
Queen
:
but
he
deceasing
here
,
soon
after
Monsieur
Appleboom
,
Resident
also
at
the
Hague
,
was
substituted
to
his
Embassie
in
like
manner
.
The
Parliament
publish
an
Act
of
Oblivion
.
The
24
of
February
came
out
their
Act
of
Oblivion
,
whereout
Sir
Iohn
Webster
of
Amsterdam
was
totally
excluded
,
together
with
the
Executors
of
the
Arch-bishop
of
Canterbury
,
the
slayers
of
Dorislaus
and
Ascham
,
the
Viscount
Mansfield
,
and
Lord
Goring
,
and
General
George
Lord
Goring
,
and
Charles
his
Sons
:
which
particulars
out
of
a
multitude
of
publike
exceptions
(
as
H.
Martin
discanted
on
it
)
I
thought
fit
to
give
the
Reader
a
hint
of
,
that
such
a
precious
Record
of
their
absolute
greatness
(
as
the
taking
upon
them
to
pardon
,
when
they
needed
it
onely
themselves
,
)
might
not
totally
be
lost
:
the
Preface
and
Induction
to
it
being
a
fallacy
,
a
non
concesso
,
that
because
the
generality
of
the
Nation
had
shewed
themselves
ready
to
suppress
the
late
Scotch
Invasion
at
Worcester
;
therefore
the
Parliament
out
of
meer
grace
,
&c.
but
all
this
favour
to
be
of
no
benefit
to
any
one
without
taking
the
Engagement
.
Their
Committee
for
Regulation
of
the
Law
had
likewise
proceeded
so
far
,
as
to
take
an
account
of
all

for

wherein
,
Iohn
Lilburn
and
Iosiah
Primate
having
taxed
their

at
Haberdashers-hall
(
about
a

Primate
pretended

but
Sir

Haslerig
had
possession

the

In
Ireland
the
War
was
almost
at
an
end
,
nothing
considerable
but
Galloway
and
some
few
Castles
holding
out
,
and
some
loose
parties
forraging
the
Country
;
whereupon
the
Lord
●lanrickard
then
in
Galloway
,
about
the
beginning
of
March
sent
a
Letter
to
Lieutenant-General
Ludlow
,
Lord
Clanrickard
sues
to
Lieu.
Gen.
Ludlow
for
a
peace
.
to
desire
of
him
,
that
in
order
to
a
composure
and
conclusion
of
that
bloody
wasting
War
in
that
Kingdom
,
he
or
the
Commissioners
would
give
safe-conduct
for
the
chief
persons
of
the
Irish
,
out
of
every
County
,
to
meet
and
to
agree
of
terms
about
a
Peace
;
not
doubting
,
as
he
expressed
,
if
it
should
be
refused
,
but
that
they
were
able
to
maintain
themselves
,
till
supplies
from
abroad
,
and
courage
at
home
,
and
their
wants
and
discouragements
from
England
,
should
alter
the
case
.
To
this
was
answered
by
Ludlow
,
His
Answer
;
That
the
Commissioners
could
not
,
nor
would
allow
such
a
thing
as
a
Council
of
the
Irish
to
settle
the
Kingdom
;
but
that
if
they
would
submit
,
they
should
have
such
Articles
and
Conditions
as
was
fit
for
them
.
For
that
the
Parliament
,
whose
that
Kingdom
was
,
would
have
the
ordering
and
Government
of
it
;
and
that
it
was
not
for
those
in
Arms
against
their
Authority
,
to
think
of
such
an
absurd
condescention
.
This
Answer
being
returned
to
two
or
three
offers
of
surrender
,
took
not
effect
;
yet
prevailed
on
several
parties
,
as
the
Lord
Muskerry's
,
Fitz
Patrick's
,
and
the
Odwyr's
,
to
come
in
and
submit
,
with
liberty
of
transporting
their
Forces
into
the
service
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
or
to
abide
at
home
under
such
and
such
fines
;
but
none
to
be
indempnified
by
any
Articles
,
that
should
be
found
guilty
of
any
Massacre
in
the
first
year
of
the
Rebellion
.
Galloway
had
before
offered
to
capitulate
;
but
because
the
Articles
were
somewhat
of
the
largest
demand
,
they
were
first
transmitted
to
the
Parliament
;
for
there
was
no
plenipotence
then
in
Ireland
;
Lambert
was
nominated
,
but
by
Cromwel
mockt
of
the
honour
of
Lord-Deputy
;
a
person
too
brisk
(
and
understanding
,
and
seeking
his
Interest
too
much
)
for
that
employment
,
it
being
reserved
for
Fleetwood
after
his
Marriage
with
Oliver's
Daughter
and
Ireton's
Relict
.
The
English
had
now
a
meeting
with
the
Marquess
of
Arguile
,
after
many
delays
and
put offs
,
Arguile
treats
with
Commissioners
,
at
Dumbarton
.
and
fine
excuses
for
them
,
about
the
20
of
March
at
Dumbarton-Castle
,
whither
within
an
hour
after
the
arrival
of
the
Parliaments-Commissioners
(
Major-General
Dean
,
and
Major
Saloway
;
for
Dean
was
not
thought
Mercurial
enough
of
himself
,
to
word
it
with
the
Scot
)
he
came
attended
by
some
30
persons
,
having
ordered
before
the
most
of
his
Name
and
Septs
of
Highland-Gentry
to
wait
on
him
.
He
insisted
much
upon
the
Salvo
Iure
of
the
Kirk
,
who
had
fasted
and
prayed
for
a
blessing
on
this
meeting
,
the
Marquess
being
the
Patron
and
principal
defender
of
their
mouldering
Presbytery
.
After
two
or
three
days
conference
,
the
Sophie's
parted
,
having
entertained
their
time
with
some
Godly
descants
upon
providence
,
the
Parliaments
most
Supreme
Authority
,
Blackness
-
Castle
ordered
to
be
blown
up
.
and
his
Highland
mightiness
.
Blackness-Castle
was
now
ordered
to
be
blown
up
with
Powder
by
Dean
,
who
passed
by
Newark-house
,
(
Garrisoned
as
was
said
last
Summer
by
the
English
,
but
retaken
soon
after
by
Colonel
Massey
in
his
march
upon
the
Lancashire
designe
)
to
Ayre
,
where
the
platform
of
a
Citadel
was
now
laid
,
as
being
most
convenient
for
the
Trade
either
of
France
or
Ireland
,
lying
the
most
Westward
part
of
Scotland
to
the
Highlands
.
Moss-Troopers
busie
and
mischievous
.
Several
mischiefs
were
about
this
time
done
by
the
Moss-Troopers
about
the
Borders
.
A
considerable
party
of
Horse
and
Foot
under
Commissary-General
Reynolds
,
were
sent
to
Athlone
,
which
lies
in
the
center
of
Ireland
,
where
he
in
this
month
of
March
reduced
Bally
League
,
Several
places
in
Ireland
taken
by
the
English
.
and
two
other
Garrisons
in
the
Collough
,
and
thereby
gained
a
very
considerable
Pass
over
the
Shannon
,
and
firm
hold
and
footing
in
the
County
of
Longford
,
so
that
in
all
with
Logh-rea
,
Portumna
,
Ballinaston
,
Melecha
,
Ragera
,
&c.
thirty
several
places
were
taken
:
Galloway
was
now
likewise
upon
Treaty
of
a
surrender
,
and
had
sent
out
their
Propositions
,
in
the
framing
whereof
some
disputes
and
difference
arose
betwixt
the
Souldiers
and
Citizens
;
but
by
the
wisdome
and
menage
of
the
Marquess
Clanrickard
were
again
accommodated
.
That
which
made
this
willingness
of
yielding
,
was
the
several
losses
of
Vessels
with
Corn
and
Provision
intercepted
by
some
ships
of
the
Parliament
,
who
watched
that
Harbour
;
and
Lorrain
was
despaired
of
,
being
now
engaged
upon
a
march
into
France
.
Those
Articles
being
thought
too
high
by
L.
G.
Ludlow
then
Commander
in
chief
in
Ireland
,
were
by
him
and
the
Commissioners
transmitted
to
England
.
An
Act
for
removing
obstructions
in
the
sale
of
Crown-lands
.
The
year
ends
with
an
Act
for
removing
obstructions
in
the
sale
of
the
King
,
Queens
Lands
,
&c.
the
Commissioners
being
,
Sir
William
Roberts
,
Francis
Mussenden
,
and
others
,
who
made
quick
work
of
the
Royal
Revenue
.
Anno
Dom.
1652.
Black-monday
March
29
,
predicted
by
Will
.
Lilly
.
THis
Year
began
with
a
most
dreadful
expectation
of
an
approaching
Eclipse
on
the
29
of
March
,
the
effects
whereof
one
William
Lilly
(
a
man
infamous
for
Prognosticks
and
Divinations
against
the
King
,
His
Cause
,
and
His
Party
)
and
others
of
that
Astrological
Tribe
had
predicted
should
be
sudden
and
most
pernicious
;
and
during
the
time
thereof
,
it
should
be
so
dark
,
that
men
should
hardly
be
able
to
Read
or
Write
without
a
Candle
;
the
day
it
happened
on
being
therefore
called
by
them
Black-munday
:
But
Lilly
so
shot
beyond
the
mark
,
(
it
proving
not
half
so
gloomy
and
terrible
,
though
most
people
were
so
foolishly
fearful
,
as
to
take
Antidotes
and
keep
close
for
fear
of
some
maligne
Influences
and
Vapours
)
that
his
credit
of
Vaticination
was
utterly
lost
,
and
regarded
no
more
for
the
future
than
one
of
his
old
worthless
Almanacks
.
I
mention
this
the
rather
,
because
this
mans
wilde
presages
were
the
Oracles
of
the
Vulgar
;
for
on
his
fatidical
Lips
they
depended
,
which
never
failed
of
pronouncing
successes
to
those
Worthies
of
Westminster
,
whose
Balaam
he
might
have
been
said
to
have
been
,
being
hired
by
them
to
detract
from
the
King
.
The
Parliament
having
the
Dutch
business
mainly
in
their
Eye
,
it
was
necessary
that
a
full
and
plenary
deliberation
and
resolution
should
be
used
in
that
affair
;
and
therefore
they
ordered
the
vacating
of
several
Committees
,
that
the
House
might
be
better
attended
,
and
the
Publike
first
served
:
the
powers
of
the
Committees
for
the
University
and
Indemnity
(
which
it
had
been
happy
for
the
Royalists
had
never
been
in
〈◊〉
.
)
were
now
recalled
;
the
one
was
utterly
extinct
,
the
other
revived
soon
〈◊〉
,
in
that
of-it-self-enough
injurious
Judicature
at
Haberdashers-hall
,
the
C●●missioners
thereof
being
Authorized
to
proceed
in
this
.
The
King
was
yet
at
Paris
during
the
Commotions
and
Broils
between
the
French
King
and
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
The
King
at
Paris
,
April
.
more
especially
the
two
Princes
of
Conde
and
Comi
;
for
the
Duke
of
Orleans
,
the
Kings
Uncle
,
was
rather
an
abettor
than
a
principal
in
the
Quarrel
,
which
arose
from
Cardinal
Mazarine's
prevalency
and
Authority
at
Court
.
Paris
was
then
troubled
with
the
same
Meagrome
that
whirl'd
the
City
of
London
into
those
tumultuous
Uproars
in
1641.
and
as
mad
against
the
Errours
of
Government
and
evil
Counsellors
;
and
had
the
like
,
nay
,
greater
advantages
and
countenance
of
a
Nobility
and
the
Blood
Royal
,
though
that
King
was
not
then
to
seek
for
Arms
,
Money
,
or
his
Castles
,
but
with
a
well-furnisht
Army
was
able
to
chastise
these
undutiful
demeanors
of
His
Subjects
.
The
Spaniard
(
whose
Interest
it
was
to
keep
these
dissentions
on
foot
)
foreseeing
the
weakness
of
the
Princes
Forces
,
offered
them
his
assistance
(
having
almost
mastered
Barcelona
the
Capital
City
in
Catalonia
held
by
the
French
,
and
Graveling
in
Flanders
just
upon
the
surrender
and
Dunkirk
designed
also
to
the
same
Conquest
)
and
presently
sent
in
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
with
all
his
Forces
into
France
,
while
in
the
interim
Marshal
De
Turenne
the
Kings
General
had
defeated
the
Duke
De
Nemours
with
the
Princes
Army
at
Estampes
.
But
these
Auxiliaries
seemed
so
to
turn
the
ballance
of
that
Victory
,
that
the
King
our
Soveraign
,
who
had
from
his
first
arrival
laboured
in
the
intrigue
of
that
difference
,
perswading
the
French
King
to
some
condescentions
of
Peace
,
and
had
passed
personally
betwixt
both
parties
,
advising
that
King
,
from
the
unhappy
Issues
of
the
War
in
England
,
which
had
so
fatally
evened
to
Himself
,
not
to
refuse
an
Accommodation
;
and
accounting
to
the
Princes
the
Kings
strength
and
power
,
and
probability
of
reducing
them
,
though
to
little
effect
:
Now
to
save
the
further
effusion
of
Blood
,
and
to
prevent
that
Ruine
which
he
saw
so
neer
at
hand
,
wherein
He
was
so
much
concerned
(
by
the
obstinacy
of
the
Princes
party
,
who
would
not
yield
to
any
thing
without
the
Cardinals
removal
,
which
the
King
and
Queen-mother
would
no
way
grant
at
the
Command
of
their
Subjects
)
He
betook
himself
to
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
then
at
Dampmartin
,
where
he
was
received
with
all
possible
demonstrations
of
Honour
,
by
that
Army
drawn
up
in
Battalia
,
the
Irish
Officers
of
three
Regiments
of
that
Nation
being
admitted
to
kiss
his
Hand
.
In
this
encounter
at
Estampes
,
the
Duke
of
York
(
then
on
the
Kings
side
)
did
so
nobly
and
valiantly
behave
himself
,
The
Duke
of
York
Renowned
for
this
Service
.
that
the
Marshal
de
Turenne
his
General
,
gave
a
very
obliging
Character
of
him
in
his
Letters
,
as
the
onely
meriting
person
in
that
Service
;
which
procured
him
especial
regard
and
Honour
from
that
Court
,
and
all
the
Grandees
of
that
Nation
,
which
they
abundantly
testified
on
all
occasions
.
In
the
interim
of
that
Action
,
the
King
,
His
Brother
,
after
some
Conference
with
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
,
had
engaged
him
to
a
kind
of
Neutrality
,
which
he
declared
and
made
evident
;
just
as
the
two
Armies
of
the
King
and
Princes
were
facing
one
another
,
to
the
disappointment
of
a
resolution
and
desperate
Engagement
on
the
Princes
●ide
,
who
were
compell'd
to
retreat
to
Paris
,
and
resume
those
thoughts
of
Peace
,
which
from
their
Confidence
in
Lorrain
they
had
totally
abandoned
.
The
frantick
Parisians
were
so
incensed
at
this
peaceful
conclusion
,
that
they
publikely
taxed
the
King
and
His
Mothers
menage
thereof
with
that
Duke
;
so
that
till
the
advantages
thereof
should
reclaim
their
mistake
,
the
King
withdrew
himself
for
some
time
to
St.
Germains
,
The
King
at
St.
Germains
with
the
Marq.
of
Ormond
and
E.
of
Castlehaven
.
whence
upon
the
conclusion
of
the
whole
affair
he
returned
most
infinitely
welcome
to
those
so
lately-passionate
and
inconsiderate
people
.
Whither
a
while
before
,
the
Marchioness
of
Ormond
,
having
left
Ireland
,
came
to
meet
the
Marquess
her
Husband
,
and
was
followed
by
the
Earl
of
Castlehaven
.
We
must
back
again
return
to
that
Kingdom
,
now
quite
spent
with
the
continued
Calamities
of
a
luckless
War
,
which
after
several
Surrenders
and
Capitulations
,
was
managed
there
by
flyi●●
〈◊〉
,
and
sudden
Excursions
and
Retreats
;
the
sum
of
which
was
in
〈◊〉
:
Several
parties
of
the
Irish
submit
.
On
the
third
of
April
,
Roscommon-Castle
was
yi●lded
(
as
likewise
〈◊〉
-
Town
)
to
Commissary-General
Reynolds
,
by
Major
Daly
;
and
Colonel
Connor
Teige
O.
Roe
submitted
at
the
same
time
upon
Articles
;
soon
after
the
Earl
of
Westmeath
,
and
Sir
William
Tungan
,
Sir
Francis
Talbot
,
and
many
others
,
to
the
number
of
800
,
after
a
Treaty
at
Kilkenny
did
the
same
▪
and
the
Lord
Muskerry
was
sending
the
same
way
,
but
thought
his
past
Actions
and
his
Condition
more
considerable
,
than
to
be
hudled
up
in
common
and
ordinary
Terms
.
Onely
the
Lord-Marquess
Clanrickard
,
according
to
the
Tenour
of
his
past
promise
upon
his
first
undertaking
the
Service
,
and
after
the
sole
Command
of
the
Army
,
resolvedly
and
Loyally
waived
the
proffer
of
those
Kilkenny-Articles
(
which
were
now
tendered
as
their
standing
Rule
to
all
the
Irish
,
namely
,
upon
submission
,
protection
;
and
those
who
ever
they
were
that
should
be
found
guilty
of
the
Massacres
in
the
first
Rebellion
,
to
be
questionable
for
it
,
and
to
be
excluded
from
any
benefit
of
Conditions
)
and
prosecuted
the
War
afresh
.
On
the
16
of
May
,
with
the
Connaught-Forces
he
marched
to
Ballishannon
,
having
drawn
with
him
some
Ordnance
from
Slego
,
Lord
Clanrickard
takes
Ballishannon
,
and
Dungal
-
Castle
.
and
after
two
days
Battery
made
a
breach
and
Stormed
it
,
and
after
two
repulses
carried
it
by
main
force
,
and
gave
such
Quarter
as
his
Party
on
the
like
occasion
used
to
receive
;
next
he
took
Dungal-Castle
,
and
there
the
Vlster-Forces
under
Sir
Phelim
O
Neal
,
the
O.
Relies
and
Mac
Mahon's
joyned
with
him
;
but
upon
notice
of
Sir
Charles
Coot's
advancing
thither
after
him
,
and
of
Venable's
Brigades
to
assist
him
,
he
departed
to
Armagh
,
intending
for
Raphoe
;
and
in
the
mean
time
Lieutenant-General
Ludlow
marched
towards
Ross
in
Kerry
,
to
attaque
that
strength
of
the
Lord
Muskerries
:

In

the
Commissioners
of
the
Parliament
for
the
settlement
of
the
Nation
of
Scotland
,
The
affairs
of
Scotland
.
having
had
conference
with
the
Deputies
of
some
Shires
,
who
accepted
the
Union
,
and
refused
to
Treat
with
others
,
that
came
not
with
a
Plenipotence
for
their
acquiescing
therein
,
and
engagement
to
it
,
and
the
Authority
of
the
Parliament
;
and
to
the
fuller
effect
thereof
,
had
caused
Proclamation
to
be
made
,
that
such
Deputies
as
should
acknowledge
and
accept
the
said
Union
,
should
proceed
to
the
Election
of
14
Deputies
of
Shires
,
and
7
for
the
Burghs
,
by
August
,
to
attend
the
Parliament
at
London
,
in
the
behalf
of
the
whole
Kingdom
;
departed
out
of
Scotland
for
London
to
make
report
of
their
transaction
,
which
had
hitherto
met
with
very
obstinate
averseness
to
the
Parliaments
tender
of
Incorporation
;
the
provincial
Assemblies
of
the
Kirk
every
where
declaring
against
it
,
&
forbidding
the
people
to
accept
or
embrace
any
such
motion
.
Nor
did
the
new
English
Judges
finde
better
welcome
than
the
Commissioners
,
though
three
of
them
were
noted
men
of
the
Scotch
Nation
,
the
chief
of
whom
was
the
Lord
Swinton
and
Colonel
Lockhart
;
and
though
at
their
opening
of
the
Session
or
Term
,
they
declared
the
Parliaments
resolution
of
not
altering
any
thing
from
their
Laws
,
save
the
Stile
and
Form
of
proceedings
in
the
Kings
Name
;
nor
would
lay
aside
their
Church-Government
if
peaceable
,
nor
suffer
long
such
as
were
Ignorant
and
Scandalous
persons
to
preach
,
or
Exercise
in
publike
,
the
great
Eye-sore
to
that
Kirk-governed
people
.
At
first
the
Officers
of
the
several
Courts
refused
to
give
their
Attendance
,
and
absented
themselves
;
but
seeing
their
places
wou●d
be
without
demur
disposed
of
,
they
as
suddenly
complied
.
As
to
Martial
Affairs
,
Dunotter
-
Castle
yielded
,
May
28.
Dunotter-Castle
after
the
Cannon
had
played
two
days
against
it
,
was
rendred
to
Colonel
Morgan
,
with
several
Regalia
and
Goods
belonging
to
the
Crown
(
though
that
and
the
Chair
of
State
and
Scepter
,
supposed
to
be
there
,
could
not
be
found
)
and
the
Earl
Marshal
,
on
the
28
of
May
:
the
Garrison
having
yielded
upon
Souldier-like
Honourable
Articles
:
Colonel
Fitch's
Regiment
was
sent
to
Innerness
,
where
a
little
Frigat
of
four
Guns
,
built
six
mile
up
Land
,
was
brought
down
by
the
strength
of
Men
to
the
Logh
wherein
the
Highlanders
passed
to
and
fro
,
to
secure
and
provide
for
the
Garrison
,
and
hinder
the
entercourse
of
the
Scots
.
A
Citadel
was
likewise
now
designed
here
,
Citadels
built
in
Scotland
.
and
another
at
Ayre
,
by
Major-General
Dean
,
consisting
of
six
Bulworks
,
which
being
to
be
raised
upon
Sand
,
it
was
ordered
that
within
and
without
it
should
be
lined
with
Lime
;
and
these
two
Fortifications
,
with
two
more
,
one
at
Leith
,
and
another
at
St.
Iohnstons
,
being
all
built
with
Free-stone
,
became
the
most
artful
and
impregnable
places
,
and
a
Bridle
to
any
Scotch
Insurrection
or
National
designe
of
Liberty
.
Some
Companies
of
Colonel
Overton's
were
likewise
shipped
for
the
Orkney
and
Shetland-Islands
,
the
most
Northern
parts
and
point
of
Scotland
,
who
forsooth
had
readily
embraced
the
English
Union
,
to
no
other
purpose
I
wis
than
to
give
friendly
Entertainment
and
Harbour
to
General
Blake
,
upon
his
sailing
neer
this
time
thither
,
after
Van
Trump
and
the
Dutch
East
India
ships
then
expected
home
that
way
.
The
Treaty
continued
yet
with
Arguile
and
other
the
Highland
Hogens
,
where
he
,
and
Marquess
Huntly
and
Montross's
Sons
had
another
conference
at
Saint
Iohnstons
;
but
neither
concluded
nor
abrupted
the
matter
of
their
meeting
,
saving
promises
,
and
protestations
of
Friendship
,
and
Peaceableness
,
and
a
kinde
of
neutrality
,
in
order
to
satisfie
the
expectation
of
a
Plenary
compliance
,
of
which
Arguile
was
most
prodigally
complemental
;
so
that
now
neither
from
Irish
nor
Scot
,
nor
other
of
the
Kings
Dominions
,
was
there
any
thing
more
to
be
feared
,
than
that
the
States
of
England
would
loose
the
profit
of
Seizure
and
Confiscation
by
the
submission
and
timely
application
of
those
in
Arms
against
the
Authority
of
their
Victorious
Commonwealth
.
And
they
had
sufficiently
cautioned
against
such
retrenchments
of
their
Conquest
,
except
in
case
of
Articles
to
important
places
and
persons
(
in
Ireland
(
as
is
said
before
)
it
being
taken
for
a
known
and
unvariable
Rule
:
)
as
for
England
,
there
were
now
more
.
Forfeitures
hastening
to
their
Corban
,
by
a
new
List
of
Papist-Delinquents
,
to
be
Limboed
by
the
States
Inquisitors
General
at
Drury-House
.
These
were
their
civil
Garlands
and
Ovations
,
not
because
they
had
saved
,
but
because
they
had
ruined
so
many
of
their
fellow-Subjects
,
whose
Fortunes
and
Estates
Oyled
the
Wheels
of
their
Triumphant
Chariots
,
and
galloped
it
over
all
Obstacles
and
Impediments
,
even
through
Rivers
,
nay
an
Ocean
of
Blood
.
For
their
precipitant
Successes
,
disdaining
to
be
taken
off
their
Glorious
Career
,
made
the
Belgick
Lyon
stoop
to
the
Yoak
,
and
draw
his
part
in
the
progress
of
their
Fame
,
which
flew
swift
to
all
the
parts
of
the
World
;
more
to
the
wonderment
than
expectation
of
all
Men
:
who
thinking
the
Circum
abient
Seas
of
their
new-acquired
Dominions
,
not
Water
enough
to
wash
off
that
Pollution
and
deep-dyed
Guilt
of
the
Murther
of
their
Soveraign
,
saw
them
most
officiously
to
receive
and
swallow
a
further
tribute
of
Blood
,
as
due
to
their
challenged
Soveraignty
thereon
,
and
their
impatient
ambition
of
being
supreme
Lords
over
the
High
and
Mighty
,
and
to
domineer
far
and
wide
without
Rivals
or
Competitors
,
in
this
extended
Empire
of
the
Ocean
.
The
rise
of
the
Dutch
War
.
The
rise
of
this
War
on
this
side
,
we
partly
hint
here
,
and
have
partly
touched
before
,
namely
the
rejectment
of
their
civil
offer
and
Embassie
made
to
the
Dutch
by
Saint
Iohn
(
from
the
similitude
of
their
Governments
,
and
their
Arrival
to
it
,
the
danger
they
feared
from
Monarchs
and
Princes
,
and
from
the
interest
of
the
Prince
of
Aurange
with
these
States
,
which
by
all
means
was
to
be
weakened
by
the
neerer
alliance
of
both
Commonwealths
)
their
indignation
and
disdain
to
be
thus
refused
,
and
lastly
the
proud
felicity
of
their
Atchievements
,
which
gave
the
advantage
of
Quarrel
with
whom
they
pleased
;
and
especially
,
to
revenge
those
Contumelies
done
to
Dorislaus
and
Saint
Iohn
,
in
the
very
presence
of
the
States
General
;
their
displeasure
whereat
they
gave
the
Dutch
a
tast
of
,
in
their
Act
forbidding
forrain
ships
to
trade
hither
,
&c.
the
last
October
.
On
the
Dutch
side
the
Quarrel
arose
chiefly
from
a
vain
presumption
that
they
were
able
to
Master
the
English
at
Sea
,
for
that
people
naturally
measure
their
interest
by
Power
,
not
by
Justice
;
and
there
wanted
not
those
great
ones
(
related
to
the
Prince
of
Aurange
)
who
mainly
promoted
this
Rupture
among
the
States
themselves
;
and
indeed
they
proved
the
Major
part
,
hoping
then
well
of
his
Majesties
affairs
in
Scotland
.
But
they
proving
bad
,
the
States
of
Holland
and
Zealand
,
being
maritime
Provinces
,
who
had
at
first
stickled
for
an
alliance
,
as
was
tendered
,
had
prevailed
that
three
Embassadors
,
to
wit
,
Myn
Heeren
Cats
,
Schaep
,
and
Vandeperre
,
should
immediately
pass
into
England
,
upon
the
notice
of
the
above-mentioned
Act
,
and
resume
the
Treaty
offered
at
the
Hague
:
these
being
at
last
come
,
found
very
cool
&
difficult
tendencies
or
inclinations
to
Peace
;
for
the
case
(
as
Saint
Iohn
said
)
was
now
altered
:
whereupon
another
Embassador
the
Lord
Newport
was
sent
,
with
private
Instructions
,
(
but
no
power
to
conclude
)
to
enquire
and
inform
himself
,
in
what
readiness
and
preparation
the
Parliament
were
for
a
Naval
War
;
what
discontents
from
the
Royalist
,
or
Faction
in
the
Army
,
or
Ambition
among
the
Grandees
themselves
,
might
effect
to
their
advantage
:
where
though
he
mist
of
the
main
,
about
Cromwel's
intended
overthrow
of
the
Parliament
;
yet
they
had
encouragement
enough
to
proceed
on
the
designe
of
the
Ocean●mastership
,
and
making
themselves
absolute
Lords
of
the
Worlds
Commerce
:
for
having
beaten
and
overcome
the
English
,
and
having
their
Harbours
at
command
,
no
Prince
or
people
whatsoever
,
should
be
able
on
dare
to
offend
them
;
but
endure
all
whatsoever
they
should
insolently
enough
command
and
require
.
This
was
the
main
original
and
Bottom
of
that
War
,
though
hastened
and
urged
by
some
peremptory
unexpected
demands
made
here
to
their
Embassadors
,
concerning
the
old
duty
of
the
Herring-fishing
,
the
opening
of
the
Scheld
Custom-free
from
Middleburgh
to
Antwerp
,
the
Right
of
the
Flag
,
and
the
business
of
Amboyna
;
which
shewed
they
must
now
enter
into
League
upon
unequal
Terms
,
and
that
the
Market
was
risen
,
and
the
Exchange
higher
here
than
it
was
at
the
Hague
;
so
that
without
further
trifling
away
time
in
such
stiff-neckt
debates
,
it
was
resolved
that
the
Dutch
Lyon
should
no
longer
couch
and
fawn
,
but
raise
up
himself
,
and
try
by
one
seizure
how
the
English
Pulse
beat
,
whether
to
Fear
or
more
Courage
;
and
so
accordingly
govern
themselves
.
They
had
besides
,
about
the
time
of
this
resolution
,
several
Advertisements
of
injuries
done
their
ships
and
Traffique
upon
account
of
the
said
Act
,
purposely
laid
in
their
way
to
give
them
the
occasion
.
Just
before
,
and
at
the
entrance
of
War
,
several
fore-running
Accidents
were
taken
notice
of
:
in
Scotland
,
a
great
Fire
at
Glascow
,
A
great
Fire
at
Glascow

which
defaced
that
City

and
did

of

Air.
with
●1
men
killed
thereby
;
the
same
fire
at
East-Okendon
in
Essex
,
preceded
by
a
great
and
continual
drought
.
On
Holland-side
,
the
State-house
of
Amsterdam
was
burnt
,
much
money
lost
,
and
other
Writings
and
Goods
lost
and
burned
.
At
the
mouth
of
the
Maze
,
Sea-fights
were
seen
in
the
Air
at
noon-day
with
English
and
Dutch
Colours
;
and
such
other
the
like
Prognosticks
,
which
much
amazed
all
people
,
who
were
now
solely
intent
upon
the
Issue
of
this
War
.
To
the
riddance
of
this
anxious
Expectation
,
the
Dutch
had
prepared
a
Fleet
of
War
under
their
old
Admiral
Van
Trump
,
and
given
order
for
the
speedy
equipping
of
another
Fleet
of
150
sail
,
while
the
Parliament
was
yet
unprovided
of
an
answerable
Force
;
for
General
Blake
plied
then
about
the
Downs
with
about
25
sail
,
and
no
more
:
thither
the
Dutch
Fleet
came
,
in
pretence
of
Convoy
to
some
of
their
Merchant-men
from
the
Straights
;
attempted
by
some
Parliament-Frigats
under
Captain
Young
;
and
thereupon
ensued
an
Encounter
,
An
Encounter
between
the
Forces
of
England
and
Holland
.
to
the
open
breach
of
Amity
and
Peace
between
the
Commonwealths
:
In
which
,
because
both
parties
pleaded
the
Defensive
part
,
though
apparently
the
Dutch
began
it
in
the
Downs
,
it
will
be
best
to
give
you
what
either
of
the
Generals
or
Officers
said
and
writ
themselves
on
this
occasion
:
Whereunto
are
added
the
Memorials
of
the
Dutch
Embassadors
,
and
the
Answer
of
the
Parliament
upon
the
same
.
The
open
rupture
was
honested
on
both
sides
with
a
punctilio
of
Honour
,
the
Right
of
the
Flag
,
which
the
Dutch
could
not
without
prejudice
to
their
more
Antient
State
give
to
this
puisny
Commonwealth
;
who
contrarily
more
confidently
expected
it
:
and
therefore
take
these
accounts
from
several
of
their
Commanders
.
The
first
,
in
a
Letter
from
Capt.
Young
.
Right
Honourable
,
As
I
was
coming
to
the
Westward
to
take
the
Command
of
the
West-guard
,
Capt.
Young
's
Letter
.
the
twelfth
instant
,
off
the
Start
,
I
descried
a
Fleet
of
ships
about
a
dozen
sail
,
coming
from
the
Southward
,
being
Admiral
,
Vice
,
and
Rear
in
the
Fleet
,
so
that
I
did
conceive
them
to
be
Sir
George
Ayscue's
Fleet
;
but
I
making
sail
off
to
them
,
found
them
a
Fleet
of
Hollanders
come
from
Genoa
and
Legorn
;
those
three
with
Flags
were
States-men
of
War
their
Convoyers
,
the
other
Merchants
ships
,
some
upwards
of
thirty
Guns
,
and
some
under
;
so
I
bore
with
the
Admiral
,
and
did
send
to
him
by
my
Master
,
that
he
should
strike
his
Flag
,
and
did
desire
a
right
understanding
might
be
between
us
before
any
Blood
was
shed
in
the
controversie
;
on
this
the
Admiral
took
in
his
Flag
,
and
put
abroad
a
Pendant
:
he
said
he
did
belong
to
Amsterdam
,
but
his
Name
I
know
not
,
but
the
ship
hath
two
wilde
men
or
the
like
in
her
Stern
,
and
some
other
things
between
them
;
she
hath
some
38
Guns
:
to
then
the
Vice-Admiral
came
up
with
me
with
his
Flag
abroad
,
being
a
ship
of
42
Guns
;
so
I
called
to
perswade
him
to
strike
:
he
bid
me
come
on
board
and
strike
it
;
so
I
sent
my
Boat
on
board
to
perswade
him
to
it
,
to
prevent
the
loss
of
Blood
,
if
it
might
be
;
but
he
sent
me
word
by
my
Master
he
would
not
strike
;
so
then
being
fitted
for
it
,
I
came
up
very
neer
on
the
Weather-quarter
;
but
before
I
fired
,
I
called
to
the
Captain
my self
to
take
in
his
Flag
,
but
he
said
he
would
not
;
so
then
I
commanded
a
Broad
side
and
a
Volley
of
small-shot
to
be
fired
on
him
,
and
I
received
the
like
from
him
again
:
thus
we
past
some
four
or
five
Broad
sides
each
at
other
,
though
I
was
forced
to
be
at
some
further
distance
from
him
than
at
first
,
I
fearing
the
Admiral
would
have
laid
me
on
Board
on
the
Weather-side
,
he
having
fitted
his
ship
,
and
come
up
Main-sail
,
and
all
to
gain
the
Wind
of
me
,
forced
me
to
keep
the
Wind
of
him
;
then
Captain
Reynolds
being
come
up
fair
within
shot
of
his
Weather-quarter
,
having
fired
six
Guns
before
at
the
Rear-Admiral
,
as
he
came
in
amongst
us
;
so
he
fired
part
of
a
Broad
side
at
the
Vice-Admiral
,
just
at
that
instant
as
he
was
taking
in
his
Flag
,
the
Recovery
being
come
up
even
within
shot
just
as
his
Flag
was
in
,
and
the
Rear-Admiral
struck
likewise
:
So
I
sent
aboard
the
Admiral
,
That
I
did
demand
the
Vice-Admiral
,
either
in
his
person
or
his
ship
to
carry
into
Port
,
to
make
good
what
damage
was
done
:
he
told
my
Master
,
he
did
not
meddle
in
the
least
himself
as
yet
,
as
long
as
it
was
onely
about
striking
the
Flag
,
the
which
he
said
was
now
taken
in
;
but
if
I
sought
any
further
matter
,
as
the
Surprizal
of
him
or
his
ship
,
he
was
bound
and
would
assist
,
she
being
the
States-ship
as
well
as
he
,
not
then
knowing
,
or
could
take
any
notice
of
any
further
intentions
:
So
I
desired
Captain
Reynolds
and
Captain
Chapman
to
come
on
board
to
consult
with
me
what
further
to
do
in
it
;
it
being
neer
night
;
and
it
was
the
Judgement
of
us
all
,
not
to
proceed
any
further
in
it
,
the
Flag
being
taken
in
,
by
reason
the
Treaty
being
between
the
Nations
at
present
,
the
case
of
Breach
of
the
Peace
might
not
be
any
way
imputed
on
our
part
.
I
have
received
some
damage
in
my
Hull
,
Sails
,
and
Rigging
,
the
which
I
shall
soon
;
God
willing
,
get
repaired
again
.
I
had
one
man
even
as
good
as
killed
out-right
,
died
●ince
,
and
some
four
wounded
,
but
I
hope
they
will
recover
.
For
my
own
part
,
I
bless
God
for
it
,
I
am
very
well
:
I
do
believe
I
gave
him
his
Belly-full
of
it
;
for
he
sent
me
word
he
had
Orders
from
the
States
,
That
if
he
struck
he
should
lose
his
Head
;
but
at
length
he
did
strike
,
which
makes
me
conceive
he
had
enough
of
it
.

The
second
,
in
a
Letter
from
Gen.
Blake
.
Right
Honourable
,
Gen.
Blake
's
Letter
.
I
have
dispatcht
away
this
Express
to
your
Honours
,
to
give
you
an
account
of
what
past
yesterday
between
us
and
the
Dutch
Fleet.
Being
in
Rye-bay
,
I
received
intelligence
from
Major
Bourn
,
that
Van
Trump
with
40
sail
was
off
the
South-sand-head
,
whereupon
I
made
all
possible
speed
to
ply
up
towards
them
,
and
yesterday
in
the
morning
we
saw
them
at
Anchor
in
and
neer
Dover-Road
;
being
come
within
three
Leagues
of
them
,
they
weighed
and
stood
away
by
a
Wind
to
the
Eastward
:
we
supposing
their
intention
was
to
leave
us
,
to
avoid
the
dispute
of
the
Flag
;
about
two
hours
after
they
altered
their
course
and
bore
directly
with
us
,
Van
Trump
the
headmost
;
whereupon
we
lay
by
,
and
put
ourselves
into
a
fighting
posture
,
judging
they
had
a
resolution
to
engage
.
Being
come
within
Musquet-shot
,
I
gave
order
to
fire
at
his
Flag
,
which
was
done
thrice
:
after
the
third
shot
he
let
flie
a
Broad
side
at
us
.
Major
Bourn
,
with
those
ships
that
came
from
the
Downs
,
being
eight
,
was
then
making
towards
us
:
we
continued
fighting
till
night
;
then
our
ship
being
unable
to
sail
,
by
reason
that
all
our
Rigging
and
Sails
were
extreamly
shattered
,
our
Mizen-mast
shot
off
,
we
came
with
advice
of
the
Captains
to
an
Anchor
about
three
or
four
Leagues
off
the
Ness
,
to
refit
our
ship
,
at
which
we
laboured
all
the
night●
this
morning
we
espied
the
Dutch
Fleet
about
four
Leagues
distance
from
ours
towards
the
Coast
of
France
,
and
by
advice
of
a
Council
of
War
,
it
was
resolved
to
ply
to
windward
to
keep
the
Weather-gage
,
and
we
are
now
ready
to
let
fail
our
Anchor
this
Tide
:
what
course
the
Dutch
Fleet
steers
we
do
not
well
know
,
nor
can
we
tell
what
harm
we
have
done
them
;
but
we
suppose
one
of
them
to
be
sunk
,
and
another
of
thirty
Guns
we
have
taken
,
with
the
Captains
of
both
;
the
Main-mast
of
the
first
being
shot
by
the
Board
,
and
much
water
in
the
Hold
,
made
Captain
Lawson's
men
to
forsake
her
.
We
have
six
men
of
ours
slain
,
and
nine
or
ten
desperately
wounded
,
and
25
more
not
without
danger
,
amongst
them
our
Master
and
one
of
his
Mates
,
and
other
Officers
.
We
have
received
about
seventy
great
shot
in
our
Hull
and
Masts
,
in
our
Sails
and
Rigging
without
number
,
being
Engaged
with
the
whole
Body
of
the
Fleet
for
the
space
of
four
hours
;
being
the
Mark
at
which
they
aimed
.
We
must
needs
acknowledge
it
a
great
mercy
that
we
had
no
more
harm
,
and
our
hope
is
the
Righteous
God
will
continue
the
same
unto
us
,
if
there
do
arise
a
War
between
us
;
they
being
first
in
the
Breach
,
and
seeking
an
occasion
to
Quarrel
,
and
watching
,
as
it
seems
,
an
Advantage
to
brave
us
upon
our
own
Coast
,
&c.
Your
most
humble
Servant
,
Robert
Blake
.

Hydes

of

The
third
,
in
a
Letter
from
Maj.
Bourne
.
Upon
the
18th
of
May
,
Maj.
Bourne
's
Relation
.
the
Wind
being
at
North-East
,
the
weather
something
hazy
,
about
ten
in
the
morning
we
saw
a
great
Fleet
on
the
back-side
of
the
Goodwyn-sand
,
which
lay
with
their
Sails
hayl'd
up
,
and
drove
to
the
Southward
,
the
latter
Tide
of
Ebb
in
land
;
about
twelve
they
were
so
nigh
,
that
we
plainly
descried
them
to
be
all
Men
of
War
,
consisting
of
41
in
number
,
one
whereof
had
a
Flag
at
the
Main-top-mast-head
,
the
rest
Jacks
and
Ancients
,
Hollands
Colours
,
at
which
time
they
were
neer
the
South-sand-head
.
There
was
in
the
Downs
,
the
Andrew
,
Triumph
,
Fairfax
,
Entrance
,
Centurion
,
Adventure
,
Assurance
,
Grey-hound
,
and
the
Seven
Brothers
,
all
the
rest
of
the
Fleet
being
with
the
General
to
the
Westward
,
by
whose
special
Command
I
wore
a
Flag
at
the
Main-top-mast-head
;
the
appearance
of
which
I
humbly
conceive
was
one
cause
amongst
others
which
moved
their
General
to
send
two
Frigats
towards
me
;
which
as
soon
as
I
perceived
plying
into
the
Road
,
I
sent
out
the
Grey-hound
to
Examine
them
,
and
know
the
ground
of
their
Approach
;
who
returned
this
Answer
to
the
Captain
,
That
they
had
a
Message
from
their
Admiral
to
the
Commander
in
the
Downs
;
at
which
he
made
sail
towards
me
,
and
permitted
them
to
come
in
:
the
two
Frigats
came
neer
and
saluted
the
Flag
,
and
then
the
Captains
came
on
Board
,
whose
Names
were
,
one
Tyson
,
and
the
other
Aldred
,
who
brought
this
Message
from
their
Admiral
Van
Trump
,
That
by
reason
of
much
Northerly
Winds
,
he
with
his
Fleet
was
put
to
the
Southward
further
than
he
intended
,
and
having
Anchored
the
day
before
off
Dunkirk
,
many
of
his
ships
had
lost
Anchors
and
Cables
,
and
so
were
forced
to
Leewards
;
but
withal
declared
,
that
they
had
special
Command
from
their
Admiral
to
signifie
thus
much
,
That
it
was
the
onely
cause
of
their
coming
to
prevent
any
thoughts
or
misapprehensions
,
for
that
he
had
not
the
least
purpose
to
offer
injury
to
any
of
the
English
Nation
;
but
for
fear
lest
any
Noise
or
Alarm
should
be
given
either
at
Land
or
Sea
,
he
thought
good
to
send
this
Message
.
And
further
,
the
one
of
them
in
discourse
said
,
that
their
Admiral
Trump
would
have
come
himself
into
the
Road
,
but
that
he
was
not
willing
to
breed
any
difference
about
his
Flag
,
forasmuch
as
he
had
not
order
to
take
it
down
.
To
whom
I
replied
,
That
I
presumed
there
would
be
no
new
thing
required
of
them
,
and
neither
more
nor
less
would
be
Expected
from
them
,
but
what
they
knew
to
be
the
Antient
Rights
of
this
Nation
;
and
withal
I
desired
them
to
return
this
Answer
from
me
to
their
General
,
That
their
Message
was
civil
,
that
our
General
was
to
the
Westward
,
whom
I
looked
for
hourly
,
and
that
received
;
and
if
what
they
delivered
was
so
intended
,
I
desired
the
Reality
thereof
might
be
manifested
by
their
speedy
drawing
off
from
this
place
with
their
Fleet
,
for
else
this
their
appearance
would
be
otherwise
expounded
:
and
so
I
dismiss'd
them
,
who
made
sail
to
their
Admiral
,
who
lay
off
the
South-sands-head
.
I
expected
them
to
come
into
the
Road
every
moment
,
and
therefore
was
in
readiness
with
the
small
strength
I
had
under
my
charge
.
So
soon
as
the
two
Frigats
(
before
mentioned
)
came
back
to
their
General
,
they
all
made
Sail
and
stood
towards
Dover
,
and
there
they
came
to
an
Anchor
that
Tide
.
At
the
first
appearance
of
them
,
after
I
had
made
them
certainly
to
be
the
Holland-fleet
,
I
did
according
to
my
Duty
give
such
an
Account
thereof
to
the
Right
Honourable
the
Council
of
State
,
as
the
time
and
other
business
would
permit
;
and
withal
I
immediately
dispatcht
a
Ketch
to
our
General
,
who
met
with
the
advice
thereof
that
night
about
Ness.
All
the
next
night
we
lay
in
readiness
,
our
Anchors
apeak
,
and
kept
two
Frigats
one
at
a
distance
from
the
other
betwixt
us
and
them
,
giving
them
Instructions
to
make
a
Signal
to
me
,
either
night
or
day
,
that
I
might
understand
their
motion
,
whether
towards
the
General
or
elsewhere
,
to
the
end
I
might
the
better
be
able
to
order
my self
and
the
party
with
me
to
the
best
advantage
,
for
security
of
the
General
's
Fleet
and
our selves
.
In
the
morning
about
ten
a
clock
I
received-advice
from
the
General
,
being
a
little
to
the
Westward
off
Foulstone
;
and
according
to
Order
received
from
him
,
Calculated
the
Time
and
Tide
,
so
that
we
might
most
opportunely
make
Conjunction
of
our
Forces
.
About
twelve
a
clock
I
set
sail
out
of
the
Downs
,
the
Wind
being
Easterly
:
immediately
after
I
p●rceived
the
Hollanders
to
be
under
sail
some
of
them
,
and
the
rest
making
ready
.
We
Steered
alongst
,
and
when
we
came
as
high
as
the
South-foreland
,
the
Holland-Fleet
was
got
off
the
Shore
,
and
were
half
Channel
over
,
plying
to
Windward
towards
Calice
;
at
which
time
I
saw
our
General
and
those
with
him
;
and
within
an
hour
after
or
thereabouts
,
the
Holland
Fleet
bore
up
and
made
sail
towards
him
:
We
hastened
towards
him
,
and
hope
I
may
say
,
seasonably
came
in
,
for
by
that
time
the
Guns
were
fired
betwixt
the
Admirals
,
we
were
with
the
Body
of
their
Fleet
,
and
Engaged
with
them
from
half
an
hour
past
four
in
the
afternoon
till
it
was
dark
:
What
Execution
we
did
upon
them
they
best
know
,
I
shall
not
determine
it
;
but
surely
they
were
sensible
of
us
,
for
they
did
their
utmost
to
decline
us
,
and
avoid
our
coming
near
,
which
we
endeavoured
by
all
means
;
but
their
Admiral
leading
the
Van
,
they
all
made
Sail
after
him
,
and
so
shot
themselves
to
Leeward
of
us
,
and
so
left
the
Rear
of
the
Fleet
to
us
,
which
we
endeavoured
to
sever
from
the
rest
,
and
accordingly
did
in
part
break
the
Body
;
and
some
of
us
who
were
the
neerest
,
and
had
the
advantage
of
the
Wind
,
fell
upon
the
Sternmost
,
who
I
suppose
found
it
hot
work
:
the
one
of
them
of
30
Guns
we
took
,
which
fought
stoutly
;
another
of
the
same
force
so
lamed
,
her
Main-mast
shot
down
,
and
having
much
Water
in
Hold
yielded
,
and
the
Captain
thereof
came
into
our
Boat
to
save
himself
;
the
night
coming
on
and
no
hope
left
him
:
I
presume
she
sunk
in
the
night
.
We
not
knowing
what
might
be
the
Issue
of
this
beginning
,
endeavoured
to
finde
out
our
General
,
to
the
end
we
might
receive
Instructions
how
to
order
our selves
in
the
morning
,
expecting
certainly
to
prosecute
the
business
then
,
for
which
end
we
presently
came
to
Anchor
because
we
would
be
neer
them
in
the
morning
;
but
they
did
not
stop
,
so
that
,
in
the
morning
we
could
scarce
discern
them
at
Top-mast-head
;
by
which
we
concluded
that
they
were
bound
over
to

To
which
may
be
added
,
the
Translation
of
the
Letter
of
the
Admiral
Trump
to
the
States
General
.
High
and
Mighty
Lords
,
My
last
Letter
was
of
the
tenth
instant
,
Admiral
Trump
's
Letter
to
the
States
of
Holland
.
sent
by
the
Messenger
that
brought
my
Instructions
aboard
,
since
when
I
crossed
the
Sea
before
the
Mase
,
Vilistringen
,
Ostend
,
and
Newport
,
until
the
24
of
the
same
Month
,
when
we
were
forced
to
cast
our
Anchor
,
and
stay
there
in
a
hard
Weather
and
a
rough
Sea
,
until
the
26
in
the
Morning
.
The
Weather
growing
fairer
,
and
being
under
sail
,
divers
Captains
of
the
Direction
came
aboard
,
complaining
,
That
they
had
lost
their
Anchors
and
Cables
,
some
having
but
two
Anchors
and
two
Cables
left
;
so
it
was
resolved
,
because
the
Wind
did
grow
big
,
to
go
under
the
point
of
Dover
,
to
prevent
the
loss
of
our
ships
.
At
one
of
the
clock
,
coming
before
the
Downs
,
we
did
send
the
Commander
Iohn
Thissen
of
Flissingen
,
and
Captain
Peter
Alders
towards
the
Downs
,
to
the
Commander
Bourn
,
who
was
there
with
some
ships
of
the
Parliament
,
whom
they
saluted
in
my
Name
,
advertising
him
that
we
were
bound
to
cruse
the
Sea
about
our
Coast
;
and
that
having
lost
some
Anchors
by
the
last
hard
Weather
,
we
were
forced
to
Anchor
under
Dover
,
to
help
one
another
,
and
so
to
return
to
our
appointed
limits
;
having
also
no
other
order
but
to
protect
our
Merchant-ships
and
Fishermen
,
and
to
maintain
the
Honour
of
our
Country
.
That
we
therefore
thought
it
fit
to
acquaint
the
said
Commander
with
the
same
,
because
he
should
not
suspect
any
thing
to
the
contrary
;
who
also
did
salute
me
,
and
thankt
me
for
this
notice
.
Upon
the
19th
,
at
two
of
the
clock
,
we
made
sail
,
the
Wind
North-East
,
good
Weather
,
sailing
towards
Calice
,
with
intention
to
cross
towards
our
Coast
,
to
provide
us
of
Cables
and
Anchors
:
Coming
about
Calice-cliff
,
we
met
with
Captain
Ioris
van
Sanen
of
Amsterdam
,
coming
out
the
Streights
,
with
Captain
Hugeluyt
,
having
in
their
company
7
rich
Merchants
ships
,
who
are
esteemed
at
above
50
Tuns
of
Gold
,
whom
he
left
the
19th
at
Anchor
right
against
Feverly
,
where
about
12
ships
of
the
Parliament
did
lye
,
and
divers
Frigats
came
to
see
them
:
and
forasmuch
as
the
said
Ioris
van
Sanen
upon
the
12
of
May
,
about
Goutstart
,
was
met
by
a
Frigat
of
the
Parliament
,
who
fiercely
set
upon
him
to
make
him
strike
,
and
against
whom
he
defended
him
neer
about
two
hours
,
and
so
was
left
by
the
said
Frigat
;
whereupon
the
said
Commander
Hugeluyt
,
and
the
said
Van
Sanen
,
did
endeavour
to
finde
out
our
main
Fleet
,
and
to
give
us
notice
of
it
;
as
he
did
accordingly
,
fearing
much
,
that
the
said
Merchants
Vessels
already
might
be
taken
:
Thereupon
I
presently
went
thither
,
to
take
them
under
my
protection
,
and
if
they
were
taken
,
to
put
them
at
Liberty
,
if
it
was
possible
,
according
to
the
seventh
and
eighth
Articles
of
my
Instruction
of
the
6
of
May
instant
.
Upon
the
way
we
met
15
Ships
and
Frigats
of
the
Parliaments
,
among
whom
one
was
an
Admiral
,
whom
I
intended
to
view
,
taking
in
all
my
Sails
,
except
both
my
Marsh-sails
,
whom
we
did
avail
until
the
midst
of
the
Stangs
.
Being
within
a
Cannon-shot
,
he
shot
a
Ball
over
our
ship
,
we
answering
not
,
he
shot
another
,
to
which
we
answered
with
one
;
presently
he
gives
me
a
Broad
side
,
being
within
a
Musquet-shot
,
and
shot
all
his
side
through
our
Ship
and
Sails
:
Divers
were
Wounded
,
some
with
the
loss
of
their
Arms
,
some
otherwise
;
whereupon
we
presently
gave
him
our
Broad
side
,
not
knowing
what
they
intended
,
which
as
yet
I
know
not
,
because
they
did
not
speak
a
word
to
us
,
neither
we
to
them
;
and
we
fell
thereupon
to
a
general
Fight
.
In
the
mean
while
came
the
Commander
Bourn
out
of
the
Downs
,
with
12
of
suchlike
ships
and
Frigats
mounted
,
as
he
told
himself
to
the
said
Commander
Iohn
Thyssen
and
Captain
Peter
Alders
,
being
aboard
of
him
,
with
60
to
70
,
and
the
Frigats
with
38
,
to
50
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
who
in
the
same
while
Assaulted
our
Fleet
from
behinde
;
and
we
fought
thus
from
half
an
hour
past
four
,
till
nine
of
the
clock
,
the
darkness
parting
us
from
one
another
;
when
both
the
Admirals
a
little
beyond
the
reach
of
our
Ordnance
cast
their
Sails
towards
the
Lee
,
to
gather
their
Fleets
,
and
to
mend
what
was
shot
to
pieces
,
we
floted
the
whole
night
with
a
Light
on
every
ship
.
The
20th
in
the
Morning
we
saw
the
English
Fleet
driven
Windward
from
us
,
who
made
sail
and
went
towards
Dover
.
We
wanted
two
of
our
Ships
,
who
were
in
the
Rear
of
our
Fleet
;
the
Captains
,
Tuynman's
of
Middleburgh
,
and
Siphe
Fook's
of
Amsterdam
,
both
ships
of
the
Direction
;
whereof
we
found
that
of
Captain
Siphe
Fook's
about
noon
,
floating
without
Masts
:
The
Skipper
and
the
Officers
declared
unto
us
that
they
were
taken
by
three
ships
of
the
Parliament
,
two
hours
after
Sun-set
,
who
took
from
aboard
the
Captain
and
Lieutenant
,
with
14
or
15
men
more
,
and
put
instead
of
them
many
of
the
English
;
but
they
fearing
that
the
ship
would
sink
,
they
took
the
flight
,
after
they
had
plundered
all
in
hostile
manner
.
They
declared
also
,
that
they
see
the
said
Tuynman's
(
being
with
them
in
the
Rear
of
our
Fleet
)
an
hour
before
he
was
taken
.
We
intend
with
this
Easterly
wind
to
cross
to
and
fro
,
that
we
may
finde
out
the
said
Streight
vaerders
,
if
it
be
possible
,
and
with
all
other
Ships
with
whom
we
may
meet
,
to
bring
them
safe
in
our
Country
.

Paper

Iune

To
the
Council
of
State
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
.
Most
Illustrious
Lords
,
The
Datch
Embassadors
Paper
to
the
Council
of
State
.
Even
as
both
by
word
of
mouth
,
and
also
by
Writing
,
we
have
signified
to
this
Council
on
the
3
and
6
days
of
this
Month
,
taking
God
the
searcher
of
Mens
Hearts
to
witness
,
that
the
most
unhappy
Fight
of
the
Ships
of
both
Commonwealths
did
happen
against
the
knowledge
and
will
of
the
Lords
States
General
of
the
Vnited
Netherlands
;
so
also
are
we
daily
more
and
more
assured
both
by
Messages
and
Letters
,
witnessing
the
most
sincere
hearts
of
our
said
Lords
,
and
that
with
Grief
and
astonishment
they
received
the
Fatal
News
of
that
unhappy
rash
Action
;
and
that
upon
what
we
thereupon
presently
sent
them
word
of
,
they
did
consult
and
endeavour
to
finde
out
what
Remedy
chiefly
may
be
applied
to
mitigate
that
raw
and
Bloody
Wound
:
To
which
end
,
they
have
written
out
for
to
gather
a
solemn
Meeting
or
Parliament
of
all
the
Provinces
,
whereby
we
do
not
doubt
but
there
will
be
provided
for
these
Troubles
(
by
Gods
favour
)
such
a
Cure
and
present
help
,
whereby
not
onely
the
outward
cause
of
all
further
Evil
may
be
taken
away
;
but
also
by
an
Int●rn
comfort
,
the
mindes
may
be
redressed
and
reduced
again
to
a
better
hope
of
our
Treaty
in
hand
;
which
thing
being
now
most
earnestly
agitated
by
our
Lords
,
for
the
common
good
of
both
Nations
,
to
shun
that
detestable
shedding
of
Christian
Blood
,
(
so
much
desired
,
and
would
be
dearly
bought
by
their
common
Enemies
of
both
Nations
,
and
of
the
Reformed
Religion
)
We
again
do
crave
of
this
most
Honourable
Council
,
and
beseech
you
by
the
Pledges
both
of
the
common
Religion
and
Liberty
,
mean
while
to
suffer
nothing
to
be
done
out
of
too
much
heat
,
that
afterwards
may
prove
neither
revocable
nor
repairable
by
too
late
idle
Vows
and
Wishes
;
but
rather
,
that
you
would
let
us
receive
a
kinde
Answer
without
further
delay
upon
our
last
Request
.
Which
we
do
again
and
again
desire
so
much
the
more
,
because
we
understand
,
that
the
Ships
of
our
Lords
and
of
our
Skippers
,
both
on
the
broad-sea
,
as
in
the
Ports
of
this
Commonwealth
,
some
by
force
,
some
by
Fighting
are
taken
by
your
men
and
kept

occasion
of
the
late
Fight
between
the
Fleets
.
The
Parliament
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
calling
to
minde
with
what
continued
Demonstrations
of
Friendship
and
sincere
Affections
,
The
Parliaments
Answer
thereunto
.
from
the
very
beginning
of
their
Intestine
Troubles
they
have
proceeded
towards
their
Neighbours
of
the
Vnited
Provinces
,
omitting
nothing
on
their
part
that
might
conduce
to
a
good
Correspondence
with
them
,
and
to
a
growing
up
into
a
more
neer
and
strict
Union
than
formerly
;
do
finde
themselves
much
surprized
with
the
unsutable
Returns
that
have
been
made
thereunto
,
and
especially
at
the
Acts
of
Hostility
lately
committed
in
the
very
Roads
of
England
,
upon
the
Fleet
of
this
Commonwealth
;
the
matter
of
Fact
whereof
stated
in
clear
Proofs
,
is
hereunto
annexed
:
upon
serious
and
deliberate
consideration
of
all
,
and
of
the
several
Papers
delivered
in
by
our
Excellencies
to
the
Council
of
State
,
the
Parliament
thinks
fit
to
give
this
Answer
to
those
Papers
.
The
Parliament
,
as
they
would
be
willing
to
make
a
charitable
Construction
of
the
Expressions
used
in
the
said
Papers
,
endeavouring
to
represent
the
late
Engagement
of
the
Fleets
to
have
happened
without
the
knowledge
,
and
against
the
minde
of
Your
Superiours
:
So
when
they
consider
how
disagreeable
to
that
profession
the
Resolutions
and
Actions
of
Your
State
,
and
their
Ministers
at
Sea
have
been
,
even
in
the
midst
of
a
Treaty
offered
by
themselves
,
and
managed
here
by
Your
Excellencies
;
the
extraordinary
preparations
of
150
Sail
of
Men
of
War
,
without
any
visible
occasion
but
what
doth
now
appear
(
a
just
ground
of
jealousie
in
your
own
Judgements
,
when
Your
Lordships
pretended
to
excuse
it
)
and
the
Instructions
themselves
given
by
Your
said
Superiours
to
their
Commanders
at
Sea
,
do
finde
too
much
cause
to
believe
,
That
the
Lords
the
States
General
of
the
Vnited
Provinces
have
an
intention
by
Force
to
Usurp
the
known
Rights
of
England
in
the
Seas
,
to
destroy
the
Fleets
that
are
,
under
God
,
their
Walls
and
Bulworks
,
and
thereby
expose
this
Common-wealth
to
Invasion
at
their
pleasure
,
as
by
their
late
Action
they
have
attempted
to
do
:
Whereupon
the
Parliament
conceive
they
are
obliged
to
endeavour
,
with
Gods
assistance
,
as
they
shall
have
opportunity
,
to
seek
Reparation
of
the
Wrongs
already
suffered
,
and
Security
that
the
like
be
not
attempted
for
the
future
.
Nevertheless
,
with
this
minde
and
desire
,
That
all
Differences
betwixt
the
Nations
may
(
if
possibly
)
be
peaceably
and
friendly
composed
,
as
God
by
his
Providence
shall
open
a
way
thereunto
,
and
Circumstances
shall
be
conducing
to
render
such
Endeavours
less
delatory
,
and
more
effectual
than
those
of
this
kinde
heretofore-used
have
been
.
This
Answer
Insinuating
the
intention
of
a
War
,
being
Communicated
to
the
States
General
,
they
ordered
their
remaining
Embassador
to
insist
upon
,
and
demand
a
Categorick-Answer
(
so
was
it
called
)
to
their
Proposals
in
the
Treaty
,
positively
off
or
on
;
which
being
made
,
The
House
took
into
debate
the
business
of
the
Embassador
Extraordinary
from
the
States
General
of
the
Vnited
Provinces
,
and
thereupon
Passed
these
Resolutions
,
to
be
sent
to
the
Embassador
in
Answer
to
his
fourth
and
last
Paper
.
-
1.
That
the
Lords
the
States
General
of
the
United
Provinces
do
pay
and
satisfie
unto
this
Commonwealth
the
Charges
and
Damages
this
State
hath
sustained
,
Their
Demands
.
and
been
put
unto
by
the
Preparations
of
the
said
States
General
,
and
their
attempts
this
Summer
,
the
Particulars
whereof
shall
be
in
due
time
produced
.
-
2.
That
upon
the
payment
of
the
sum
to
be
agreed
upon
(
as
aforesaid
)
for
Charges
and
Damages
,
or
securing
the
same
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
Parliament
,
there
shall
follow
immediately
thereupon
a
Cessation
of
all
Acts
of
Hostility
,
and
the
Ships
and
Goods
taken
since
the
Difference
shall
be
Released
.
-
3.
The
two
former
Propositions
being
assented
unto
,
and
put
in
Execution
,
the
security
for
the
time
to
come
which
the
Parliament
doth
expect
,
is
by
both
States
contracting
a
firm
Alliance
and
Consistency
of
Interest
for
the
good
of
both
,
which
the
Parliament
of
England
is
willing
on
their
part
by
all
just
ways
and
means
to
endeavour
.
And
so
we
pass
from
these
civil
Debates
,
to
the
prosecution
of
the
War
.

Van
Trump
(
having
understood
the
aforesaid
opportunity
)
clapt
in
between
the
River
and
Sir
George
,
leaving
part
of
his
Fleet
to
the
Westward
,
resolving
to
surprize
those
ships
coming
out
,
or
to
sink
those
under
Sir
George
Ayscue
;
but
advice
being
immediately
given
from
Dover
of
the
posture
of
the
Enemy
,
the
Navy
within
budged
not
;
and
thereupon
the
Dutch
presently
addrest
themselves
to
the
other
part
of
the
designe
,
and
the
opportune
time
of
Ebb
coming
on
,
the
8
of
Iuly
they
sailed
towards
Sir
George
;
but
the
Wind
failing
,
they
came
to
an
Anchor
a
League
off
,
and
the
next
Ebb
(
against
which
time
,
a
Platform
was
cast
up
between
Deal
and
Sandown-Castles
,
and
Cannon
planted
thereon
to
bear
upon
them
as
they
came
in
,
and
the
Militia
thereabouts
in
Arms
at
the
shore
,
from
whence
several
Mariners
reinforced
the
Fleet
,
which
consisted
of
no
more
than
15
ships
)
as
they
were
under
sail
the
Wind
came
fully
about
South-west
(
which
the
Dutch
afterwards
said
was
the
Witch-Act
Wind
)
and
blew
so
directly
in
their
Teeth
,
that
they
could
not
possibly
make
up
to
them
;
and
it
being
likely
to
continue
so
,
for
it
came
in
with
a
brisk
gale
,
Trump
that
had
no
longer
time
to
stay
,
the
Fleets
of
Merchants
for
the
Northern
,
Eastern
,
and
West-India
Seas
,
waiting
his
return
for
their
Convoy
Northwards
,
departed
for
Holland
;
and
having
received
the
said
charge
of
ships
,
and
order
about
the
Fishing
,
sailed
towards
the
Sound
,
whence
having
secured
and
left
that
part
of
his
Fleet
to
their
Voyage
,
he
proceeded
with
the
rest
towards
the
Northermost
point
of
Scotland
,
the
Isles
of
Orkney
,
where
General
Blake
was
newly
in

-
Encounter
.
after
a
Squadron
of
his
Frigats
had
spoiled
the
Herring-fishing
,
by
driving
most
,
seizing
some
other
Busses
,
which
after
the
accustomed
Toll
of
every
tenth
Herring
,
as
was
in
gross
computed
,
being
paid
,
were
released
,
with
a
charge
of
Fishing
there
no
more
without
English
leave
,
and
the
taking
of
their
12
Men
of
War
that
guarded
them
,
3
whereof
were
afterwards
sunk
.
(
They
made
a
stout
and
gallant
resistance
,
and
killed
abundance
of
the
English
.
)
They
are
scattered
by
a
Storm
.
It
was
Trump's
Resolution
to
have
here
Engaged
likewise
with
Blake
,
having
met
already
with
the
Dutch
East-India
Fleet
of
five
Sail
;
but
upon
a
sudden
such
a
Storm
arose
,
that
he
was
glad
to
put
to
Sea
,
and
there
his
Fleet
was
so
scattered
and
dispersed
,
that
he
came
home
but
with
42
sail
;
the
rest
came
after
much
tossing
to
an
Anchor
,
some
at
Norway
,
the
rest
in
Scotland
,
with
two
of
the
East-India
ships
which
at
first
were
given
for
lost
,
with
those
War-ships
that
were
missing
,
but
shortly
after
,
all
except
six
came
home
in
safety
:
Trump
to
Scheveling
,
Blake
takes
several
of
their
Frigats
,
and
divers
Prisoners
.
and
so
to
the
Hague
,
to
give
an
account
:
Blake
first
to
the
Coast
of
Holland
with
six
of
the
Dutch
Frigats
he
had
taken
,
and
900
Prisoners
in
them
,
and
thence
to
Yarmouth
for
Victual
,
and
cross
again
to
the
Enemies
Coast
;
several
losses
having
happened
to
both
Nations
in
the
mean
time
by
private
Free-booters
,
and
some
small
Men
of
War
taken
from
us
.
While
Van
Trump's
Fleet
was
now
rigging
and
fitting
out
,
another
Fleet
of
50
Men
of
War
set
to
Sea
from
Zealand
to
go
Westward
,
and
Convoyed
a
Fleet
of
Merchant-men
the
same
way
where
Sir
George
Aycue's
station
was
about
Plymouth
(
at
which
Port

Streights-men
newly
arrived
,

and

,
Au.

and
five
East-India
ships
came
in
soon
after
in
safety
)
in
expectation
of
them
.
They
were
seen
first
at
Bright
hemstead
in
Sussex
,
where
they
chased
and
took
some
Barques
,
and
so
Westward
〈◊〉
the
back
of
the
Isle
of
Wight
;
advertisement
whereof
being
given
,
it
was
resolved
that
Sir
George
with
his
Fleet
of
40
Men
of
War
,
most
Merchant-men
except
the
Flag-ships
,
should
stretch
over
to
the
Coast
of
France
to
meet
them
.
Accordingly
on
the
16
of
August
,
between
one
and
two
of
the
clock
in
the
afternoon
,
they
got
sight
of
the
Enemy
,
who
quitted
their
Merchant-men
,
being
50
in
number
.
About
four
the
fight
began
,
the
English
Admiral
with
9
others
charging
through
their
Fleet
;
but
received
most
damage
in
the
Shrouds
,
Masts
,
Sails
,
and
Rigging
,
which
was
repaid
the
Dutch
in
their
Hulls
:
Sir
George
having
thus
passed
through
them
,
got
the
Weather-gage
and
Charged
them
again
;
but
all
his
Fleet
not
coming
up
,
and
the
night
already
entred
,
they
parted
with
a
drawn
Battle
.
Captain
Peck
the
Rear-Admiral
lost
his
Leg
,
whereof
soon
after
he
died
;
several
Captains
were
wounded
,
but
no
ship
lost
,
onely
some
shattered
and
torn
;
of
the
Dutch
not
one
was
said
to
be
lost
,
though
many
of
them
shot
through
and
through
,
but
so
that
they
were
able
to
proceed
in
their
Voyage
,
and
Anchored
the
next
day
after
,
being
followed
by
the
English
,
at
the
Isle
of
Bassa
;
but
no
further
attempt
was
made
by
our
Fleet
,
by
reason
,
as
't
was
pretended
,
of
the
danger
of
the
French
Coast
,
from
whence
they
returned
to
Plymouth
sound
to
mend
and
repair
their
damage
.
Whatever
the
matter
might
be
,
Sir
George
was
never
employed
more
in
their
Service
;
but
't
was
judged
not
any
default
here
,
but
the
Honourable
largeness
of
his
Articles
at
Barbadoes
were
the
cause
thereof
;
and
Dean
was
now
remanded
and
returned
from
Scotland
,
as
a
more
confiding
deserver
,
on
whom
another
Sea-General
was
to
be
conferred
.
Sir
Geo
:
Ayscue
rewarded
for
h●s
service
.
The
States
of
Holland
excite
several
Princes
to
assist
them
.
Sir
George
had
300
l.
in
Ireland
per
annum
,
and
300
l.
in
Money
for
his
pains
.
In
the
mean
time
the
States
of
Holland
sent
away
Messengers
and
Expresses
to
Denmark
,
and
the
Hans
Towns
,
to
Sweden
and
Poland
,
to
give
notice
of
the
Commencement
of
this
War
,
and
to
gain
these
several
States
to
their
party
,
Cordage
and
Tar
being
no
way
else
to
be
had
,
as
also
to
give
timely
advice
to
their
Merchants
,
how
to
manage
and
secure
their
Estates
from
the
English
.
A
Proposal
was
likewise
framed
of
sending
for
Prince
Rupert
(
then
about
the
Western
Isles
of
America
,
having
taken
some
West-Country
Ships
,
being
known
by
his
black
Ancient
which
he
wore
in
his
Poop
,
as
a
mourning
Emblem
of
the
Kings
Death
,
attended
but
with
a
Fleet
of
six
ships
)
and
espousing
the
Kings
Quarrel
;
but
those
were
but
high-flown
vapours
of
their
own
without
any
ground
,
save
that
the
Prince
of
Aurange
was
generally
and
publickly
commended
to
,
and
almost
enforced
upon
the
State
as
Statdholder
,
and
Captain-General
as
was
his
Father
;
and
some
affronts
were
done
to
those
that
were
known
to
be
disaffected
to
that
Family
,
among
whom
was
the
Lord
Embassador
Paw
,
whose
house
they
attempted
to
Storm
;
nor
was
De
Wit
,
one
of
their
prime
Seamen
,
much
more
in
favour
,
as
the
Zealanders
soon
after
evidenced
.
Their
Interest
indeed
was
so
much
the
more
considerable
,
because
of
the
Marquess
of
Brandenburgh
,
the
next
ally
but
the
King
(
whose
Usurped
Rights
,
it
vindicated
and
asserted
,
would
much
conduce
to
the
advantaging
of
them
in
a
vigorous
prosecution
of
the
War
)
from
whom
they
had
already
promises
of
a
large
assistance
of
10000
men
,
upon
no
other
score
but
his
Nephews
,
as
appeared
in
his
non-performance
of
that
proffer
,
when
the
States
of
Holland
boggled
at
the
Overtures
and
Demands
made
by
the
other
Provinces
about
the
Prince
;
and
in
the
same
kinde
he
served
them
,
having
engaged
their
concernment
in
the
Polish
War
not
long
after
,
leaving
them
in
the
lurch
after
the
Elbing-Treaty
:
So
that
of
all
Princes
,
their
Friends
,
they
now
relied
most
upon
the
Dane
and
the
French
,
with
whom
they
doubted
not
to
make
a
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
against
the
English
,
Slily
assisted
by
the
Spaniard
,
and
hoping
of
a
fair
beginning
of
Amity
with
Sweden
onely
.
Yet
nevertheless
confident
were
our
States
of
going
luckily
through
this
hazardous
and
potent
Enmity
,
or
would
their
proud
stomacks
(
Drunk
with
success
,
as
the
Dutch
Declaration
twitted
them
)
abate
a
sillable
of
what
they
had
determined
:
for
having
given
that
Categorick
or
positive
Answer
above
recited
,
upon
the
Dutch
Embassadors
desire
of
leave
to
depart
,
according
to
their
Superiours
as
peremptory
orders
;
they
without
any
more
ado
,
presently
offered
them
Audience
in
order
thereunto
(
Monsieur
Paw
in
a
Latine
Speech
delivered
the
sense
of
the
Quarrel
and
Breach
in
very
equal
words
)
without
any
further
expedients
mentioned
by
them
to
resume
the
accommodation
.
Paw
at
his
return
quickly
died
of
a
surfeit
of
broyl'd
Salmon
,
The
Lord
Embassador

Paw

no
way
lamented
by
the
house
of
Aurange
:
a
man
suspected
of
ill
Counsel
given
against
the
Martyr-King
,
he
being
sent
hither
about
the
time
of
his
Martyrdom
,
and
known
to
have
some
of
his
Majesties
Houshold-goods
and
Jewels
as
Bribes
(
however
honested
by
a
pretence
of
purchase
)
for
his
service
to
the
English
States
.
The
Lord
Williamson
and
his
colleague
,
Embassadors
of
Denmark
demanded
the
same
Audience
the
same
time
,
being
about
the
29
of
Iune
.
In
Ireland
,
after
Sir
Charles
Coot
had
taken
in
Ballymote
,
he
pressed
so
hard
upon
the
Lord
Clanrickard
,
that
he
was
forced
for
shelter
to
betake
himself
into
the
Isle
of
Carick
,
while
Sir
Charles
quartered
at
Portumna
resolved
to
reduce
him
;
which
being
inevitable
,
the
gallant
Marquess
came
now
at
last
in
this
desperate
Juncture
to
an
Agreement
,
which
was
no

than

Not
long
after
,
Colonel
Richard
Grace
being
pursued
into
his
Fastness
,
being
the
strong
Fort
of
Inchlough
in
a
Bog
,
yielded
upon
the
like
Terms
,
on
the
first
of
August
,
to
Colonel
Sanckey
;
there
marched
out
with
him
1050
men
for
Transportation

to

places
,
under
Reynolds
,
Venables
,
Sanchy
,
Sir
Charles
Coot
,
and
Lieutenant-General
Ludlow
,
distinct
Forces
were
ordered
to
march
.
Fitz
Patrick
and
Odwire's
men
were
also
now
shipt
,
the
Commissioners
for
the
Parliament
very
willing
to
be
rid
of
their
Company
,
and
they
as
glad
to
be
gone
,
to
avoid
the
Halter
,
then
threatned
by
a
High
Court
of
Iustice
.
In
Scotland
there
were
some
stirs
in
the
Highlands
,
by
Glengary
,
the
Frazers
,
and
Mac
Reynolds
,
and
some
other
Septs
,
whereof
one
Mac
Knab
was
killed
,
with
some
more
of
his
men
,
being
in
a
party
which
was
met
with
by
the
English
Highland-Forces
of
Lilburn

Regiments
Encamped
at
Innerara
one
of
Arguile's
strong
Castles
;
but
nothing
else
happened
,
though
the
Scots
were
1500
strong
:
but
Arguile
absolutely
complied
with
the
Parliament
,
sending
them
provision
and
supplies
of
all
sorts
;
yet
before
Summer
was
quite
spent
,
the
Highlanders
had
made
a
shift
to
surprize
two
of
their
new-Garrisoned
Castles
in
these
parts
,
and
made
good
their
several
Clans
and
possessions
.
Cromwel
's
designe
upon
the
Parliament
appears
.
At
home
the
Parliament
had
a
greater
mischief
breeding
against
them
,
than
they
feared
from
the
most
dangerous
of
their
Forrain
Enemies
:
A
dangerous
Imposture
of
Ambition
,
whose
quabbing
beating
pains
gave
them
no
rest
,
nor
could
all
their
skill
tell
how
to
asswage
or
cure
it
.
It
swelled
every
day
more
and
more
,
in
continual
Addresses
,
Desires
,
Petitions
,
Declarations
,
till
it
came
to
be
ripe
,
and
then
burst
out
to
the
dissolution
of
this
Political
body
.
This
was
the
reiterated
and
inculcated
story
of
the
Parliaments
providing
for
future
equal
Representatives
,
and
putting
a
period
to
this
;
than
which
,
nothing
could
be
more
distastful
,
and
of
greater
antipathy
to
the
present
Members
:
which
yet
they
did
most
artfully
conceal
and
dissemble
,
in
a
hundred
complying
Votes
and
Resolves
,
even
to
the
ascertaining
of
the
longest

for
their
sitting
;
but
that
was
two
years
too
long
for
Cromwel
,
whose
Fingers
itched
to
be
managing
a
Scepter
.
In
order
to
this
delay
,
the
Committee
that
first
sat
and
hatcht
upon
this
Bill
,
were
removed
from
the
Nest
,
and
the
addle
Eggs
put
under
the
chill
incumbency
of
other
Wilde-towl
,
and
they
to
proceed
therein
with
all
expedition
:
a
thing
so
unlikely
,
that
Sultan
Cromwel
,
who
expected
a
Grand
Cairo
brood
,
resolved
not
to
be
baffled
much
longer
,
or
await
the
leisure
of
his
Mercenary
servants
,
as
after
a
Fast
and
Humiliation
of
him
and
his
Council
of
Officers
,
and
the
Communication
of
the
grounds
thereof
to
the
whole
Army
in
England
and
Ireland
(
which
was
a
Lamentation
for
the
tedious
continuance
of
self-interested
persons
in
the
Authority
,
and
other
Religious
melancholy
about
Charity
,
the
want
whereof
was
greatly
bemoaned
)
we
shall
fully
discover
.
An
oblique
glancing
hit
of
Fortune
now
saluted
the
successful
Forces
of
this
State
by
Sea
:
Dunkirk
taken
by
the
Spaniard
,
and
the
French
Fleet

about

to
which
purpose
their
Lord
Great
Admiral
the
Duke
of
Vendosme
had
equipped
a
Fleet
,
which
from
the
Coasts
of
Normandy

Britanny
came
to
an
Anchor
at

,

some
of
General
Blake's
Frigats
,
Crusing
up

down
from
the
Body
of
the
Fleet
with
Him
,
espied
them
;

thereupon
weighed
,

made

with
a
little
Frigat

were
taken
and
brought
to

by
which
disaster
the
Besieged
were
necessitated
to
capitulate
,
and
the
Governour
the
Count
d'Estrades
(
who
was
also
after
in
the

Command
)
yielded
it
thereupon

with
as
much
Authority

they
did
heretofore

such

there
was
of
Remonstrants

Protestations
,

such-like
knacks
amongst
these
crums
of
the
Kirk
,
which
was
now
in
a
hundred
fractions
,
that
for
very
quietness
sake
,
and
some
small
considerations
of
the
publick
Peace
(
whose
danger
in
their
former
more
unanimous
Rebellion
was
not
quite
forgotten
)
one
Lieutenant-Colonel
Cotterel
was
sent
to
dismiss
them
from
their
Seats

Cotterel

which
he
roundly
did

charging
them
upon

further
meeting
;
and
that
to
that
purpose
,
not
any
three
of

should
presume
to
meet

together

So
that
what
the

by

,
by
the
force
of
Laws
,
by
his
Vice-Roys
or
Governours
General
could
not
effect
,
an
Armed
Officer
quickly
speeded
,
to
the
perpetual
shame

infamy
of
that

Convention

Episcopacy
had
the
honour
to
precede
(
nor
could
Monarchy

The
Judges
there
now
went
their
Circuit
,
where
they
met
with
innumerable
Accusations

Indictments
of
Adultery
,
and
Fornication
,
and
Incest
,

as
many
almost
of

such
the

cruel
usage
of

such
weak
conviction

that
though
at

exercised
towards

yet
the
Judges
finding
there

sometimes
more
devi●ish

that
numerous
Condemnation

That
Fleet
under
de

,
that
fought
with
Sir
George
Ayscue
in
the
West
,
lay
now
at
the
Mouth
of
the
Channel
,
crossing
to
and

,
to
stop
and
seize
all
English
Ships
and
Goods
coming
from
the
Southern
and
Western
parts
of
the
World
;
yet
notwithstanding
,
six
East-India
(
and
two
from
the
Streights
)
whereof
the
Eagle
was
the
chief
,
arrived
safe
at
Plymouth
,
and
there
staid
in
Harbour
till
the
Fleet
of
War
Convoyed
them
home
,
having
fitted
and
Armed
themselves
for
the
Encounter

De

was
ordered
to
stay
here
,
upon
this
designe
,
till
de

,
another
Admiral
,
should
be
sent
to
bring
him
home
through
the
Channel

with
what
Merchant-men
he
had
ready
in
his
Convoy
,
and
such
as
should
casually
light
upon
him
at
Sea
,
where
he
ranged
at
pleasure
.
He
sent
Sir
George
Ayscue
word
,
in
a
Bravado
,
by
a
Vessel
he
took
and
freely
discharged
,
that
he
stayed
there
for
him
to
fight
him
;
but
Sir
George
had
no
such
orders
;
nor
indeed
was
he
in
a
condition
,
ever
since
his
last
Encounter
with
him

(
while
General
Blake
was
gone
Westward
to
bring
about
the
Plymouth-Fleet
)
on
the
21
of
September
,
at
the
South-sands-head
,
(
and
it
was
no
more
than
time
,
for
Blake
had
seized
five
West-India
ships
of
good
value
,
sneaking
by
the
French
Coast
;
and
Vice-Admiral
Pen

taken
six
Streights-men

richly
laden
,
that
had
been
,

were
newly
come
out
of
the
Duke
of
Venice's
Service
,
worth
above
200000
l.
being
laden
with
Piece-goods
,
and
the
best
Commodities
of
those
parts
)
and
came
in
●ight
of
the
English
Fleet
neer
Torbay
in
Devonshire
,
with
the
Wind
almost
in
his
Teeth
;
but
it
proving
thick
and
hazy
Weather
,
by
the
obscurity
thereof
,
he
slipt
and
made
aboard
to
the
French
Coast
,
and
joyned
with
de
Ruyter
,
and
received
six
Plate-ships
,
laden
from
Cadiz
,
into
his
Convoy
,
and
set
sail
homewards
;
and
Blake
having
touched
at
Portsmouth
,
came
Eastward
likewise
,
and
on
the
back
of
the
Goodwyn
discovered
him
again
,
having
dismist
his
charge
into
Holland
;
but
the
Wind
blowing
hard
,
could
not
Engage
him
;
nor
would
de
Wit
move
from
his
station
,
then
on
the
side
of
the
North-foreland
,
knowing
most
of
the
English
ships
to
be
very
great
,
and
to
draw
much
Water
;
and
there
was
a
Shallow
and
sand
lay
betwixt
the
Fleets
.
On
the
28
of
October
,
notwithstanding
,
General
Blake
in
three
Squadrons
(
as
the
Dutch
were
divided
,
one
Commanded
by
himself
,
the
second
by
his
Vice-Admiral
Pen
,
and
the
third
by
Rear-Admiral
Bourn
)
sailed
towards
him
;
and
as
de
Wit
had
fore-laid
it
,
struck
most
of
them
upon
the
Sand
;
among
the
rest
the
Soveraign
,
Rigg'd
and
Mann'd
for
this
present
service
,
the
first
she
ever
was
in
,
was
on
ground
;
but
was
presently
got
off
again
,
and
stood
aloof
,
till
de
Wit
came
freely
from
his
advantages
to
the
Engagement
,
which
was
first
begun
by
Bourn
,
and
seconded
immediately
by
the
whole
Fleet
,
and
was
fought
stoutly
on
both
sides
(
a
courageous
Drunken
Dutch
man
of
War
presuming
to
give
the
Soveraign
a
Baoad-side
,
and
a
vapour
of
Boarding
her
,
was
presently
sunk
by
her
side
,
so
that
she
obtained
among
them
,
the
Name
of
the
Golden
Devil
;
)
soon
after
a
Rear-Admiral
of
the
Dutch
was
Boarded
and
taken
,
and
two
more
of
their
Men
of
War
were
sunk
,
and
another
Blown
up
at
the
same
time
;
so
that
de
Wit
was
glad
to
give
over
the
Conflict
,
and
to
ply
his
Sails
(
being
followed
till
the
English
Fleet
was
no
more
than
12
Leagues
East-South-East
off
the
Maze
,
De
Wit
worsted
by
Blake
.
and
that
Coast
of
Holland
,
which
was
no
good
shore
for
them
to
trust
to
)
and
with
the
remainder
of
his
Fleet
,
pitifully
torn
,
came
into
Goree
,
and
there
Harboured
.
This
Defeat
he
imputed
to
several
of
his
Captains
,
who
did
not
their
devoir
in
the
Fight
;
so
that
Commissioners
of
the
Admiralty
were
appointed
,
to
try
such
as
he
should
charge
for
their
Cowardise
or
Failure
;
he
also
added
,
for
another
Reason
,
the
over-match
of
the
English
in
number
and
ships
,
which
being
beyond
expectation
,
more
troubled
the
States
,
than
this
easie
Discomfiture
.
Blake
with
Triumph
came
into
the
Downs
,
and
the
most
of
his
Fleet
into
Port
,
to
mend
and
recruit
the
Damages
they
had
received
,
having
lost
besides
neer
300
men
,
and
as
many
wounded
(
the
Dutch
twice
their
number
)
for
whose
cure
and
entertainment
,
several
Houses
in
the
nature
of
Hospitals
were
erecting
on
the
Coast
of
Kent
,
neer
Dover
and
Deal
,
by
order
of
Parliament
,
who
enacted
also
the
return
of
all
Sea-men
out
of
the
Service
of
any
other
Prince
or
State
into
England
in
40
days
,
in
these
parts
of
the
World
,
allowing
a
twelvemonth
to
those
in
the
East-Indies
;
confirming
the
usage
and
custom
of
Death
without
mercy
,
by
throwing
over-board
such
Carpenters
and
Ship-wrights
as
should
be
found
in
the
Enemies
ships
,
&c.
The
Noble
Marquess
of
Worcester
lately
come
from
beyond
Seas
(
where
his
wants
and
distresses
suffered
him
not
to
continue
any
longer
)
was
this
Month
of
September
taken
in
London
,
and
Committed
to
the
Tower
,
Marq.
of
Worcester
taken
,
and
committed
to
the
Tower
.
and
ordered
for
a
speedy
Trial
;
but
after
consideration
of
the
matter
,
it
was
superseded
,
and
his
Lordship
left
in
that
forgotten
durance
.
There
had
been
great
discontents
among
the
Vnited
Provinces
,
concerning
their
chusing
of
a
Sta●dholder
,
Mutiny
in
Holland
.
and
Captain-General
,
which
was
to
be
the
Prince
of
Aurange
,
as
was
said
before
;
and
these
Disorders
and
Misfortunes
at
Sea
did
rather
improve
the
Pince's
Interest
(
and
therefore
the
States
of
Holland
and
Friesland
prudentially
bethought
themselves
of
a
means
to
be
rid
of
both
,
and
that
was
by
sending
a
Letter
tending
to
an
accommodation
into
England
;
which
at
the
worst
should
happen
,
would
be
of
much
advantage
to
them
:
this
came
about
this
time
after
the
Fight
,
and
was
in
like
manner
answered
as
their
other
Papers
)
so
that
as
de
Wit
went
out
with
a
Mutiny
,
(
the
Sea-men
refusing
to
go
on
Board
till
they
were
paid
for
their
service
already
done
in
this
War
;
for
which
two
of
them
were
Executed
at
Amsterdam
,
Some
of
their
Seamen
Executed
.
and
some
Burgers
shot
upon
a
sudden
surmise
of
a
Rescue
)
so
was
he
welcomed
home
with
the
like
Uproar
of
the
Women
of
Flushing
,
who
hated
him
the
rather
,
because
he
was
a
main
Anti-party
to
the
Family
of
Aurange
,
to
which
that
Province
was
always
so
addicted
,
that
though
the
States
of
Holland
sent
an
Embassie
to
them
,
to
disswade
them
from
their
resolution
taken
in
favour
of
the
Prince
;
(
and
they
hardly
laboured
it
with
Arguments
of
the
Common
Safety
,
and
the
Nature
of
the
War
in
hand
,
which
would
thereby
upon
all
events
be
made
Irreconcilable
)
yet
they
prevailed
not
,
but
were
dismist
to
the
next
General
Vergadering
or
Assembly
of
all
the
Provinces
,
who
had
effected
their
designe
in
Denmarke
,
by
making
sure
of
that
King
to
their
Interest
,
he
refusing
to
let
the
22
English
Merchant-men
go
away
out
of
his
Port
,
being
laden
with
Hemp
,
and
Tar
,
and
such
other
necessaries
for
shipping
,
and
had
recalled
his
Embassadors
here
in
England
;
but
till
their
Arrival
,
proceeded
no
further
than
a
bare
Imbargo
,
having
brought
them
within
the
Booms
of
his
Castle
at
Elsenore
,
for
the
better
securing
of
them
.
The
want
of
those
Commodities
(
which
mightily
retarded
the
equipping
of
the
English
Fleets
)
caused
the
Parliament
to
give
order
to
Blake
to
send
away
Captain
Ball
with
a
Squadron
of
18
Men
of
War
,
A
Fleet
of
War
sent
to
the
Sound
,
&c.
to
sail
for
the
Sound
,
and
to
carry
a
Letter
to
the
King
,
desiring
him
to
deliver
the
said
Ships
and
Goods
,
to
be
Convoyed
(
for
the
Dane
at
first
pretended
his
care
of
saving
them
from
the
Dutch
)
home
by
the
said
Fleet
,
who
in
ten
days
time
,
came
to
an
Anchor
within
a
mile
of
Elsenore-Castle
,
and
sent
the
Letter
ashore
by
one
of
his
Captains
,
(
who
was
affronted
by
some
of
the
Dutch
there
seizing
his
Boat
)
but
received
a
cold
Answer
,
that
the
King
would
not
deliver
them
,
and
did
wonder
they
did
approach
so
neer
his
Royal
Residence
with
so
great
a
Fleet
:
which
being
received
,
Captain
Ball
concluded
presently
to
return
;
but
the
night
of
his
departure
,
on
the
last
of
September
,
the
Antelope
(
a
new
stately
built
Frigat
,
of
50
Brass
Guns
)
run
upon
a
Rock
on
Iutland
side
(
by
the
unadvisedness
of
the
Pilot
)
about
three
in
the
Morning
,
and
was
there
bulged
and
broke
to
pieces
.
In
his
return
he
met
and
took
14
Holland
Fisher-men
;
but
the
Tyger-Frigat
,
after
a
fight
,
took
and
Boarded
a
Man
of
War
of
20
Guns
,
having
killed
and
wounded
40
of
them
,
and
brought
them
all
up
to
Yarmouth
.
Upon
further
dispute
of
this
detainer
,
which
was
of
such
evil
consequence
to
our
States
,
it
was
at
last
alledged
by
that
King
,
that
he
kept
those
ships
and
Goods
in
lieu
of
those
Moneys
due
to
him
from
the
late
King
,
according
to
his
engagement
with
his
Father
in
the
German-War
,
for
the
maintenance
of
so
many
Regiments
against
the
Emperor
,
and
for
other
Sums
accruing
to
him
,
in
the
right
of
his
Aunt
,
the
Mother
of
the
said
King
:
and
the
Dutch
were
very
willing
to
be
dealing
and
chaffering
on
that
account
,
offering
him
the
value
of
the
Goods
,
to
what
they
should
be
rated
at
there
,
in
ready
Money
;
or
rather
than
fail
,
they
would
content
the
English
Merchants
that
were
concerned
in
those
Bottoms
and
Ladings
.
Myn
Heer
Boreel
was
likewise
instant
with
the
French
King
at
this
time
for
a
speedy
Conclusion
of
a
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
.

the
Dutch
would
have
fallen
upon

,
September
.
The
Lord
Hopton
,
that
most
Renowned
General
in
the
West
for
the
King
,
departed
this
Warfare
of
Life
in
the
end
of
September
,
at
Bruges
in
Flanders
;
an
Heroe
worthy
of
Pompey's
distanced
Urns
,
that
each
Region
of
the
World
should
have
inhumed
a
piece
of
him
,
that
his
Interment
might
have
been
as
large
as
his
Fame
,
which
hath
told
the
Universe
the
Glory
of
his
Actions
;
but
what
is
so
envied
him
,
was
direfully
indulged
to
the
Royal
Cause
,
and
the
assertors
of
it
.
—
Iacere

All
Nations
and
people
saw
and
felt
the
woful
Effects
and
Consequences
of
our
subverted
Monarchy
,
and
in
that
overthrow
nothing
was
more
miserable
than
the
undeserved
Wandrings
and
Distresses
of
these
Loyal
and
most
Noble
Exiles
,
whose
Condition
mindes
us
to
attend
it
a
little
further
.
Against
the
French
Kings
returning
in
peace
to
his
tumultuous
City
of
Paris
,
in
this
Month
,
wrought
by
the
means
and
counsel
of
our
Soveraign
,
He
with
the
rest
of
his
Lords
and
Nobility
,
then
of
his
Council
at
Paris
,
in
great
State
went
out
to
meet
him
,
and
welcome
him
home
to
his
Palace
of
the
Louvre
.
A
most
acceptable
glad
Complement
to
that
Prince
,
but
a
sad
reduction
to
his
own
minde
,
of
that
untamable
force
and
injury
,
by
which
he
was
kept
out
from
his
Kingdoms
;
though
now
the
progress
of
Providence
did
seem
to
verge
and
dispose
events
to
the
former
course
of
the
English
Soveraignty
:
For
the
French
King
before
the
Cardinals
return
,
gave
most
express
assurance
of
his
utmost
assistance
to
the
regaining
his
Crowns
,
as
soon
as
he
had
setled
his
own
,
and
was
thereby
rendered
capable
of
doing
it
;
and
the
Dutch
had
now
likewise
made
overtures
to
him
of
espousing
his
Interest
,
and
had
granted
him
already
free
Ports
in
their
Country
for
his
Men
of
War
to
harbour
in
,
and
sell
their
Prizes
they
should
take
;
and
there
was
every
day
expectation
of
Prince
Rupert
to
come
and
command
a
Squadron
in
that
Service
,
upon
the
Kings
account
.
The
same
forward
hopes
he
had
likewise
received
from
several
Princes
of
Germany
,
viz.
The
Emperour
himself
,
with
whom
the
King
had
one
Mr.
Taylor
his
Resident
in
honourable
esteem
;
the
Marquess
of
Brandenburgh
,
the
Dukes
of
Brunswick
and
Lunenburgh
,
and
the
rest
of
those
Potentates
:
(
His
Couzen
the
Prince
Elector
Palatine
was
yet
raw
in
the
World
,
having
newly
Frankendale
delivered
to
him
by
the
Spaniard
,
who
had
kept
it
neer
forty
years
)
as
also
from
the
King
of
Denmark
.
A
Diet
was
now
also
to
be
held
at
Ratisbone
,
for
the
Election
of
a
King
of
the
Romans
;
the
onely
opportune
time
for
●●m
to
prosecute
his
business
,
for
supplies
and
assistance
to
recover
his
Rights
,
finding
all
the
respective
Princes
personally
present
.
Therefore
the
Lord
Wilmot
,
now
honoured
upon
this
grand
Affair
with
the
Title
of
Earl
of
Rochester
,
The
Earl
of
Rochester
to
the
Diet
in
Germany
.
(
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
was
designed
his
Colleague
)
was
honoured
with
the
Embassie
thither
,
and
provision
made
to
discharge
the
State
and
expence
of
it
,
that
the
King
might
appear
not
altogether
lost
in
the
world
,
or
as
an
abject
and
forlorn
Prince
;
since
not
pitty
of
his
misfortunes
,
but
indignation
at
his
injuries
,
was
the
best
motive
to
his
assistance
:
and
this
becoming
Grandeur
was
in
good
time
set
out
amply
and
honourably
enough
,
by
the
liberal
Purse
of
his
dear
Relations
,
and
the
seasonable
payment
of
his
Money
out
of
the
French
Treasury
.
His
Lordship
departed
home
but
in
Ianuary
,
and
by
the
way
of
Heidelberg
(
where
the
same
Prince
Elector
was
gone
before
)
arrived
at
Strasburgh
,
and
was
with
all
possible
evidence
and
expressions
of
Honour
and
Devotion
to
his
Majesties
cause
,
and
present
business
,
received
by
that
most
Illustrious
and
grand
Assembly
.
The
Lord
Wentworth
was
afterwards
sent
in
the
same
Employment
to
the
King
of
Denmark
,
and
by
him
welcomed
and
entertained
with
all
demonstrations
of
love
and
affection
,
becoming
his
Relation
;
where
the
Dutch
upon
their
engagement
of
saving
that
King
harmless
from
any
demand
,
or
whatsoever
pretence
of
the
English
,
had
engaged
him
to
joyn
in
a
League
Offensive
and
Defensive
with
that
State
,
and
to
concur
in
any
other
designe
whatsoever
.
The
King
yet
at
Paris
amidst
a
hundred
Caresses
,
Gratulations
,
and
Treatments
given
him
by
the
King
,
the
Queen-Mother
,
and
all
the
Grandees
of
that
Court
,
upon
the
happy
occasion
of
the
late
peaceful
settlement
.
The
Dutch
with
extraordinary
diligence
and
intent
care
of
their
honour
and
interest
in
this
Quarrel
,
Van
Trump
at
Sea
with
a
Fleet.
had
equipped
another
Fleet
,
which
was
now
committed
to
Van
Trump
,
(
though
some
rumours
were
spread
,
as
if
he
should
be
honourably
laid
aside
in
the
administration
of
another
Land-Office
in
the
inspection
of
the
Admiralty
)
a
Fleet
of
300
Merchant-men
bound
for
France
,
and
the
Levant
,
and
these
Occidental
parts
,
being
ready
for
his
Convoy
.
Intelligence
was
now
likewise
given
him
,
that
(
as
formerly
the
States
had
been
informed
)
the
English
Fleet
was
no
way
recruited
,
but
that
the
most
part
of
that
Fleet
with
which
De
Wit
Engaged
,
was
gone
into
Ports
,
and
that
now
Blake
might
be
easily
beaten
in
the
Downs
,
and
so
the
Mouth
of
the
River
stopt
,
the
War
come
to
a
period
,
and
the
Dutch
have
satisfaction
for
the
damage
done
them
,
and
Sea-Towns
in
England
put
into
their
hands
for
future
security
;
and
nothing
less
would
content
Hans
in
this
Top-gallant
humour
.
On
the
29
of
November
,
Trump
presented
himself
with
80
Men
of
War
,
and
ten
Fireships
,
Blake
defeated
in
the
Downs
by
Trump
,
Nov.
29.
on
the
back-side
of
the
Goodwyn
again
,
and
according
to
expectation
found
General
Blake
attended
with
no
more
than
forty
and
odd
fail
,
as
if
he
had
been
ignorant
how
to
use
his
late
Victory
(
which
came
now
to
the
dispute
,
and
to
be
an
undecided
controversie
again
:
)
yet
Blake
generously
disdaining
to
be
affronted
again
in
the
Downs
,
having
called
a
Council
of
War
,
it
was
concluded
he
should
fight
,
though
at
so
unequal
disadvantage
:
but
the
Wind
rising
,
the
Engagement
was
hindred
till
the
next
day
;
and
Anchoring
the
night
before
a
little
above
Dover-road
,
fair
by
the
Enemy
,
neer
morning
both
Fleets
plyed
Westward
,
we
having
the
Weather-gage
,
and
about
eleven
or
twelve
a
clock
Engaged
,
neer
the
same
place
where
the
first
Encounter
was
;
but
not
with
the
same
success
;
for
half
the
Fleet
did
not
Engage
;
the
Victory
,
Vantguard
,
and
the
Triumph
,
the
Admiral-ship
,
bore
most
of
the
stress
of
the
Fight
,
being
at
one
time
engaged
with
20
Dutch
men
,
and
were
sorely
torn
in
their
Rigging
,
Sails
,
Yards
,
and
Hull
;
yet
they
fought
till
after
it
was
dark
;
a
little
before
which
,
the
Garland
,
(
whose
venturous
Captain
,
out
of
a
noble
resolution
,
boarding
Van
Trump
himself
,
was
slain
in
the
fight
,
and
overpowred
with
his
Reserves
:
)
a
Navy-ship
of
the
third
Rate
with
forty
Guns
,
was
boarded
by
two
Dutch
Flags
,
and
taken
;
as
likewise
the
Bonadventure
,
attempting
to
relieve
them
,
its
Captain
Hookston
being
slain
before
the
Tryumph
,
could
succour
them
:
and
this
was
not
done
without
great
hazard
;
for
Blake
was
boarded
twice
,
and
had
his
Top-mast
shot
by
the
board
,
and
had
not
the
Vantguard
and
Saphire
stood
resolutely
to
him
,
might
have
gone
neer
to
be
lost
;
the
Hercules
was
likewise
run
on
shore
,
and
all
the
whole
Fleet
that
engaged
,
was
miserably
rent
and
torn
,
and
had
it
not
been
for
the
night
,
would
hardly
have
come
off
,
whereas
now
they
retreated
to
Dover
,
and
so
into
the
River
against
Leigh
,
to
save
themselves
.
The
Dutch
Triumphantly
continued
where
they
were
,
resolving
to
fall
upon
Blake
with
their
whole
Fleet
and
Fire-ships
the
next
day
at
two
of
the
clock
;
The
Dutch
Seamen

Marsh
,
and

off

but
missing
of
them
,
sent
their
Scouts
to
Harwich
and
Yarmouth
,
to
see
if
they
were
there
,
purposing
to
pursue
the
same
Resolution
.
In
the
mean
time
,
some
of
their
Sea-men
went
ashore
into
Rumney-marsh
to
steal
Sheep
;
but
the
Troopers
were
in
a
readiness
,
and
killed
six
of
them
,
and
took
eight
more
.
Trump
neer
the
Isle
of
Wight
.
Trump
still
continued
with
his
Fleet
plying
between
the
Isle
of
Wight
and
the
North-foreland
,
somewhat
betwixt
Calice
and
Dungenness
,
having
put
ashore
the
Lieutenant
of
the
Garland
and
other
Sea-men
,
who
informed
,
that
one
Dutch
ship
was
blown
up
,
and
but
two
men
saved
;
and
that
Trump
,
and
another
Flag-shi●
,
and
de
Ruyter
,
had
received
damage
.
Amidst
all
this
Fray
,
a
rich
Streights
English
ship
,
called
the
Employment
,
valued
at
200000
l.
got
safe
into
Harbour
at
Portsmouth
,
being
pursued
by
seven
Dutch
sail
of
Frigats
.
And
a
little
before
this
Grand
Engagement
,
the
Diamond
had
more
luckily
light
upon
a
Hollander
from
Spain
,
laden
with
100
Buts
of
Sack
,
a
great
quantity
of
Cocheneal
,
60
Bags
of
fine
Spanish-wool
,
2000
Bars
of
Silver
,
400
West-India
Hides
,
to
a
great
value
:
the
Ruby
and
the
Portsmouth
had
likewise
set
upon
two
Dutch
Men
of
War
,
and
were
just
upon
boarding
of
them
,
having
disabled
their
sailing
;
but
at
the
very
instant
,
an
unlucky
shot
came
and
carried
away
the
Ruby's
Masts
by
the
Board
,
and
put
her
into
the
same
condition
,
being
Towed
home
by
the
Portsmouth
,
and
leaving
the
Hollanders
a
drift
at
Sea
:
but
for
that
disappointment
,
see
a
more
successful
,
and
deservedly
famed
English
Exploit
.
It
was
related
before
,
how
the
Dutch
at
Portolongone-fight
had
taken
the
Phoenix
Frigat
and
brought
her
into
Leghorn-Road
,
where
they
blockt
up
Captain
Appleton
and
his
Squadron
;
this
was
〈◊〉
an
eye-sore
to
the
English
,
as
well
for
the
scandal
and
dishonour
of
it
,
she
lying
in
view
,
Commanded
by
young
Van
Trump
,
as
also
for
the
ill
consequences
of
it
,
being
a
pattern
or
module
for
the
Dutch
to
build
by
(
for
she
was
an
excellent
Saylor
)
and
might
be
made
use
of
also
to
decoy
other
ships
:
that
Captain
Cox
(
the
former
Lieutenant
of
her
)
having
imparted
his
designe
to
the
rest
of
the
English
,
on
the
twentieth
of
November
at
night
,
being
St.
Andrews
day
(
which
is
an
usual
Feasting
day
with
the
Hollander
,
as
well
as
the
Scot
)
accompanied
with
three
Boats
,
in
which
were
about
100
men
,
Rowed
close
on
board
the
Phoenix
,
The
Phoenix
regained
,
Nov.
30
,
by
Capt.
Cox
.
and
answering
the
Sentinel
that
they
were
Fisher-men
,
got
under
her
Stern
,
and
so
by
her
Sides
,
and
presently
entred
,
and
having
shut
down
the
Hatches
,
and
secured
the
Decks
,
they
made
towards
the
Great
Cabin
,
where
Van
Trump
and
other
Captains
were
making
merry
:
one
of
those
with
his
Servants
about
him
,
made
some
resistance
,
and
killed
one
with
a
Pistol
:
Trump
got
out
of
the
Windows
in
the
mean
while
into
a
Boat
that
was
tyed
at
the
Stern
,
and
escaped
.
'T
was
an
hour
and
a
half
before
they
had
subdued
the
Dutch
to
a
submission
,
being
nevertheless
all
the
while
under
sail
,
and
no
noise
,
so
much
as
of
a
Musquet
(
to
give
notice
to
the
Dutch
Fleet
)
being
to
be
heard
;
and
so
came
with
her
cleverly
away
to
Naples
;
having
killed
in
the
Conflict
nine
of
that
Company
.

the

to

(
at
which
rate
it
had
almost
continued
since

,
and
out-lived
them
but
two
Months
.
)
And
lo
,
a
new
Scene
,
the
Council
of
State
shifted
for
the
next
year
again
,
21
of
the

designe
upon
Blake
,
who
avoided
sinking
or
stranding
by
his
getting
into
the
River
,
plied
somewhat
more
Westward
betwixt
Calice
and
Dungenness
,
and
there
met
with
some
English
ships
come
from
the
Barbadoes
,
wherein
were
most
of
the
Goods
and
other
things
belonging
to
the
late
Governour
for
the
King
,
the
Lord
Willoughby
of
Parham
;
and
so
leisurely
crossing
up
and
down
the
Channel
to
Guernsey
Island
(
on
which
it
was
voiced
they
had
concluded
an
attempt
,
having
examined
a
Master
of
a
Barque
belonging
to
the
place
concerning
its
Ports
and
Havens
)
intending
thereby
with
Fleets
of
War
to
impede
altogether
our
Navigation
.
And
so
confident
were
they
grown
by
this
success
,
The
Dutch
Bravadoes
.
that
they
reported
their
General
wore
a
Broom
in
his
Main-top
,
intimating
that
he
would
sweep
the
Narrow
Seas
of
all
English
shipping
;
who
in
this
Rant
and
Vapour
arrived
at
the
Isle
of
Rhee
,
to
stay
there
for
his
re-convoying
the
Merchants
from
those
quarters
.
The
States
of
Holland
were
not
more
perplext
about
their
admission
of
a
Stadtholder
,
than
ours
were
cunningly
and
imperceptibly
undermined
,
by
a
(
would
be
)
Protector
;
who
to
leave
no
Competitor
to
that
single
Greatness
he
grasped
at
,
and
was
to
lay
hold
on
,
very
dexterously
quitted
his
fears
from
those
dangers
his
ambition
of
being
a
Monarch
did
so
fairly
invite
,
from
the
indubitable
Right
,
and
neer
assumption
,
and
ascent
to
the
Throne
,
of
Henry
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
The
Duke
of
Gloucester
sent
away
from
Carisbrook
to
Dunkirk
,
Feb.
whose
claim
and
person
was
ready
against
his
intrusion
,
and
at
hand
upon
any
such
occasion
.
On
the
17
of
December
,
he
carried
a
Vote
of
Transporting
him
beyond
Sea
,
on
pretence
of
lessening
the
charge
of
the
Commonwealth
;
all
which
should
now
allow
him
a
pittance
,
and
that
quamdiu
se
bene
gesserit
,
as
long
as
he
should
please
them
,
and
not
keep
his
Brother
company
:
which
condition
was
sure
to
discharge
their
fine
Exhibition
before
any
payment
would
come
about
.
Accordingly
in
February
●ollowing
they
sent
him
away
to
Dunkirk
from
his
Prison
at
Carisbrook
,
(
where
none
but
a
Barber
and
a
sorry
Tutor
attended
him
,
besides
Anthony
Mildmay
his
Keeper
)
where
he
was
very
joyfully
received
,
and
thence
conveyed
to
Brussels
,
where
he
had
further
grandeurs
and
civilities
done
him
,
and
brought
thence
in
the
Princess
of
Aurange's
Coach
,
to
Breda
in
Holland
,
to
the
great
joy
of
the
Royal
Family
,
who
every
day
feared
his
Life
from
those
Bloody
Usurpers
.
Soon
after
he
had
enjoyed
the
Company
of
his
Sister
,
Conducted
into
France
by
the
Lords
Langdale
and
Inchiqueen
.
he
was
conducted
into
France
by
the
Lord
Langdale
,
and
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
,
to
visit
his
Mother
,
his
Royal
Brothers
,
and
the
Princess
Henrietta
,
whose
delight
and
content
in
the
fruition
of
him
,
as
one
risen
from
the
Dead
,
I
will
not
be
so
bold
as
to
take
upon
me
to
express
.
Some
while
before
his
arrival
at
Dunkirk
,
and
just
upon
the
news
of
his
leave
and
dismission
out
of
England
,
the
French
King
had
by
the
advice
of
the
Cardinal
Mazarine
(
who
was
returned
in
great
state
to
Court
and
Council
,
being
accompanied
by
most
of
the
principal
persons
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
more
particularly
by
the
Duke
of

who
was
in
high
Reputation
in
the
Army
,
and

notwithstanding
all
the

were
used
by

The
Portugal
Embassador
concludes
.
The
Portugal
Embassador
(
who
had
been
in
Treaty
here
about
the
Damages-done
the
English
in
1649.
)
came
now
to
a
conclusion
thereof
;
and
there
remaining
15500
l.
in
difference
betwixt
Him
and
the
Parliaments
Commissioners
,
upon
his
submission
,
and
reference
of
it
to
the
Parliament
,
they
defaulked
and
abated
the
said
sum
,
as
a
token
of
their
respect
and
good
will
to
that
King
.
M.
Bourdeaux's
Negotiation
was
most
abominably
resented
here
,
as
well
as
abroad
,
for
a
piece
of
the
uncivilest
policy
the
French
were
ever
guilty
of
;
but
the
Cardinal
could
not
be
secure
,
nor
better
ingratiate
with
the
Traffiquers
and
Traders
,
which
consists
of
the
Commonalty
,
who
had
suffered
more
by
English
Sea-Rovery
,
than
by
a
Peace
here
;
the
Superscription
of
those
Letters
being
a
meer
Falsifie
,
and
a
present
satisfaction
to
the
desires
of
the
said
Queen
.
The
Dutch
Lion
was
now
Rampant
,
and
roaring
out
Proclamations
and
Placa●●s
against
bringing
in
any
English
Manufactures
,
or
holding
correspondence
with
us
;
as
if
he
had
the
Prey
under
his
Paws
,
and
were
sure
of
Victory
:
all
Princes
were
made
acquainted
with
this
late
success
,
which
lost
nothing
by
carrying
,
and
their
Friends
and
Allies
encouraged
to
come
in
and
take
part
of
the
spoil
;
The
Dutch
forbid
any
to
supply
the
English
with
provisions
of
War
.
and
to
Friend
and
Foe
,
they
peremptorily
forbid
by
a
Declaration
the
supply
of
the
English
with
any
Utensils
or
provisions
of
War
;
and
Trump
had
already
seized
eleven
Lubeckers
,
laden
with
Eastland
Commodities
,
pretending
to
Ostend
;
by
which
Lubeckers
and
Hamburgers
,
most
of
the
Holland-Trade
in
single
ships
was
disguised
,
so
that
the
English
ships
resolved
to
seize
all
those
that
spoke
IA
,
without
any
Shiboleth
or
distinction
.
Torce
of
their
Hamburgh
ships
laden
with
Plate
taken
.
Upon
this
score
,
three
Hamburgh
ships
,
laden
with
Plate
,
coming
from
Cadiz
,
were
brought
into
Plymouth
,
though
they
pretended
to
be
bound
for
Flanders
,
and
that
the
Money
belonged
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
was
consigned
for
the
pay
of
his
Armies
:
immediately
upon
notice
of
their
Seizure
,
the
Spanish
Embassador
at
London
made
application
by
a
special
Audience
in
Parliament
for
their
delivery
,
and
did
most
industriously
sollicite
and
prosecute
the
same
;
but
the
Wealth
was
too
considerable
,
and
of
as
great
concernment
to
their
occasions
in
this
Dutch
War
,
as
the
Spaniard
could
alledge
any
;
and
therefore
they
remitted
the
Examination
of
the
business
to
the
Judges
of
the
Admiralty
,
where
it
proved
a
most
tedious
Affair
;
one
Mr.
Violet
a
Goldsmith
,
and
Prosecutor
for
this
State
,
engaging
himself
most
busily
,
in
procuring
their
adjudication
for
lawful
Prize
.
A
High
Court
of
Iustice
in
Ireland
.
In
Ireland
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
was
now
erected
and
in
Circuit
;
the
first
place
of
their
sitting
being
at
Kilkenny
,
where
the
Grand
Council
of
the
Rebels
in
1641.
had
their
Residence
;
and
thence
to
Waterford
,
Corke
,
Dublin
,
and
Vlster
,
&c.
They
were
attended
and
sate
in
very
great
State
,
neer
the
pattern
in
England
,
with
24
Halberdiers
in
good
Apparel
for
their
Guard
,
and
all
other
Officers
sutable
.
The
President
of
this
Court
was

thereof

were
joyned

Infamous
Sollicitor

King

(
whom
they
would
have
most
wickedly
,
and
by
all
abominable
artifices
(
by
urging
and
soothing
their
Prisoners
to
confess
as
much
)
entituled
to
that
Rebellion
;
but
found
not
by
all
their
scelerate
practises
what
they
sought
for

and
Commissary-General
Reynolds
:
Several
persons
Condemned
.
many
persons
were
by
these
Condemned
;
some
of
the
chief
whereof
,
as
Colonel
Walter
Bagnal
,
Colonel
Tool
,
Colonel
Mac
Hugh
,
and
a
greater
number
of
lesser
Quality
,
suffered
Death
;
Bagnal
being
Beheaded
,
a
manner
of
Execution
not
usual
in
Ireland
:
the
Lord
Clanmallero
,
the
Viscount
Mayn
,
and
some
others
escaped
;
but
the
Nation
was
was
so
generally
scared
,
and
in
such
a
fright
,
that
happy
was
he
that
could
get
out
of
it
:
for
no
Articles
were
pleadable
here
;
and
against
a
Charge
of
things
done
12
years
before
,
little
or
no
defence
could
be
made
;
and
the
cry
that
was
made
of
Blood
,
aggravated
with
the
expressions
of
so
much
horrour
,
and
the
no
less
daunting
aspect
of
the
Court
,
quite
contounded
the
amazed
Prisoners
,
so
that
they
came
like
Sheep
to
the
slaughter
,
which
had
been
such
ravenous
Wolves
in
preying
upon
the
Lives
of
the
poor
unarmed
English
:
but
the
Spanish
Army
was
so
full
of
them
,
and
their
late
revolt
at
Burdeaux
to
the
French
side
made
them
so
suspicious
,
that
thereafter
they
became
very
unwelcome
Auxiliaries
;
and
upon
that
account
the
Lord
of
Muskerry
,
who
had
according
to
Articles
Transported
himself
,
came
back
again
to
Ireland
without
leave
,
and
was
taken
and
committed
to
Dublin-Castle

Sir
Phelim
O
Neal
the
great
Rebel
hanged
,
&c.
and
some
while
after
Tried
at
the
same
High
Court
of
Iustice
.
Sir
Phelim
O
Neal
,
that
great
and
prime
Ringleader
of
the
Rebellion
,
was
likewise
betrayed
by
his
own
party
in
February
following
at
Vlster
neer
Charlemount
,
and
brought
Prisoner
to
the
Lord
Caufield's
house
,
whose
Father
he
had
treacherously
Murthered
;
and
sent
with
a
Guard
to
the
same
place
,
and
Hanged
and
Quartered
.
Insomuch
that
all
Ireland
was
now
wholly
reduced
:
for
Colonel
Barrow
had
taken
most
of
the
places
in
Vlster
,
save
what
Forces
were
skulking
in
the
Fastnesses
,
and
made
a
kinde
of
thieving
War
,
and
that
was
yet
very
desperate
.
Captain
Gibbons
with
100
men
staid
in
Kerry
,
where
the
Irish
out
of
fear
and
distrust
of
any
preservation
or
favour
from
the
English
,
rose
in
Arms
again
:
there
remained
too
the
Island
of
Enisbuffin
,
whose
Forces
had
in
December
,
to
the
number
of
500
in
Boats
,
fallen
down
upon
the
Isles
of
Arran
,
Garrisoned
by
an
English
company
of
150
,
under
a
Captain
,
who
upon
the
first
Summons
rendred
the
Fort
in
that
Island
upon
leave
to
depart
;
for
which
he
was
condemned
to
dye
,
and
the
Officers
under
him
Cashiered
.
To
recover
this
Isle
,
being
of
consequence
to
the
peace
of
the
Neighbouring
Country
,
Commissary-General
Reynolds
was
sent
with
a
sufficient
Force
,
and
likewise
to
reduce
Enisbuffin
.
At
his
approach
to
Arran
,
it
rendred
to
him
upon
the
first
Summons
,
as
before
it
was
lost
,
on
the
15
of
Ianuary
;
where
he
left
some
ships
for
the
better
securing
of
it
,
their
absence
being
the
occasion
of
the
loss
of
it
before
;
and
so
marched
to
Enisbuffin
,
but
with
more
hast
than
good
speed
,
300
of
the
Van
of
his
Forces
being
cut
off
:
but
the
Island
being
blockt
up
,
Colonel
C●sack
the
Governour
accepted
of
the
usual
Articles
for
Transportation
,
and
Surrendered
that
place
.
The
Condition
of
Ireland
.
Never
were
any
Christian
people
or
Nation
in
such
a
wretched
condition
as
those
Irish
,
who
from
a
vain
conceit
of
obtaining
their
Liberty
,
and
shaking
off
the
English
Yo●k
by
their
Rebellion
,
now
found
i●
set
closer
and
harder
on
,
suffering
the
very
extremity
of
Revenge
,
and
the
dregs
of
Rage
,
from
a
merciless
Conquering
Enemy
,
to
whom
first
the
crying
Sin
of
their
barbarous
Massacres
,
and
then
their
contempt
of
the
Kings
Authority
when
received
among
them
;
and
lastly
their
fatal
divisions
among
themselves
,
caused
by
their
Fryers
and
the
Nuncio-party
,
had
given
them
over
.
As
to
the
Priests
,
The
Priests
Banished
.
they
were
by
Proclamation
,
upon
pain
of
Death
,
Banished
for
ever
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
as
the
like
had
been
done
lately
before
in
England
,
and
many
of
them
had
already
been
snapt
by
the
Irish
High
Court
of
Iustice
.
The
Parliament
were
no
way
insensible
of
the
Damage
and
disgrace
they
had
suffered
from
the
Dutch
in
the
Downs
,
Cromwel
and
his
Officers
keep
a
Fast.
(
and
to
minde
them
the
more
of
it
,
Cromwel
and
his
Officers
kept
a
Fast
by
themselves
upon
that
occasion
,
but
added
other
causes
,
viz.
the
delay
of
the
new
Representative
,
according
to
the
old
strain
)
and
therefore
thinking
the
meanness
of
their
Pay
might
dishearten
the
Seamen
from
serving
in
the
Fleet
,
Seamens
Wages
raised
.
they
raised
their
Wages
from
19
,
to
24
shillings
a
month
,
and
20
Nobles
for
every
Gun
in
any
ship
they
should
take
from
the
Enemy
,
with
other
advantages
as
to
the
shares
of
the
Prizes
:
and
the
better
to
defray
this
allowance
,
The
Kings
Houses
of
Hampton
Court
to
be
sold
,
&c.
Moneys
there●pon
at
six
per
cent
.
they
ordered
the
Sale
of
Somerset-house
,
Windsor-Castle
,
Greenwich
,
Hampton
Court
Va●●●
hall
in
Lambeth
&
Cornbury-Park
.
For
the
invitation
to
which
purchases
,
and
all
other
Forf●i●●d
Lands
,
they
had
abated
the
interest
of
Moneys
from
eight
to
six
per
cent
.
that
the
advantages
of
laying
out
their
Money
with
them
,
might
appear
to
the
Usurer
,
who
by
such
Bargains
could
not
get
less
than
50
l.
per
cent
.
provided
it
would
last
,
and
the
Lands
continue
in
their
possession
.
Those
Houses
notwithstanding
escaped
,
by
the
hinderance
and
artful
delays
of
Oliver
Cromwel
,
who
designed
them
for
his
own
greatness
and
State
in
his
projected
Supremacy
.
He
was
now
debating
in
Council
with
his
Bashaws
about
the
very
same
matter
,
and
the
Parliament
fell
presently
upon
the
Bill
to
prevent
him
and
his
Armies
desires
for
the
same
Representative
,
and
offered
fair
,
Ianuary
the
fifth
.
The
Danish
Embassadors
had
in
the
beginning
of
October
departed
England
;
and
by
the
way
visited
Holland
,
and
continued
their
Journey
by
Land
home
;
where
upon
their
arrival
,
that
King
had
declared
himself
for
the
Hollander
;
yet
the
Parliament
hoping
to
reclaim
him
,
and
the
want
of
those
Merchandizes
he
had
seized
urging

sent
Bradshaw
a
bold
fellow
like
his
Kinsman
who
preferred
him
,
to
Copenhagen
from
Hamburgh
,
where
he
resided
with
that
City
as
their
Agent
.
He
came
to
the
Court
before
Christmas
,
but
was
delayed
Audience
till
after
the
Holy-daies
;
and
when
he
had
it
granted
,
it
was
to
so
little
purpose
,
He
is
affronted
and
in
danger
.
and
of
so
great
danger
to
him
at
his
return
,
he
being
besides
affronted
highly
in
the
streets
,
that
he
wisht
himself
quit
of
his
Employment
,
and
at
home
again
.
At
his
request
for
a
Guard
to
convey
him
back
,
and
his
payment
of
them
,
and
passing
by-ways
,
and
over
several
Waters
,
he
at
last
in
much
fear
(
being
certainly
way-laid
)
recovered
Hamburgh
,
whence
he
sent
the
Parliament
an
account
of
his
fruitless
Negotiation
,
(
for
the
goods
were
unladen
and
sold
,
and
the
Merchants
Books
of
Accompt
seized
,
and
in
the
Kings
hands
,
desiring
also
the
repayment
of
those
Moneys
he
had
disbursed
,
for
the
carrying
the
Masters
and
Seamen
of
those
ships
to
Lubeck
and
those
parts
,
being
not
able
to
stay
in
Denmark
any
longer
;
where
a
Comet
newly
appeared
,
the
effects
whereof
were
very
visible
in
those
calamities
that
presently
began
in
this
and
the
Swedish
War
,
in
which
that
King
was
desperately
Engaged
.
The
Dutch
had
been
Commanded
to
Sea
from
Porto
Longone
some
while
before
,
by
the
Spanish
Governour
,
so
that
the
English
ships
were
at
liberty
;
and
Badiley
was
now
at
Leghorn
,
of
whom
the
Great
Duke
demanded
the
Phoenix
to
be
restored
to
the
Dutch
,
at
their
instance
to
him
,
as
taken
in
his
Port
;
which
being
refused
,
he
commanded
that
those
English
ships
that
then
lay
within
the
Mole
,
being
six
in
number
,
should
put
to
Sea
within
ten
daies
:
the
debate
had
lasted
a
good
while
before
this
resolution
,
which
the
Duke
said
he
could
not
in
justice
and
by
the
Law
of
Nations
deny
to
the
Hollander
;
the
event
of
which
we
will
presently
relate
.
At
home
the
Dutch
were
still
far
perter
;
Songs
,
and
by
words
,
and
Pictures
,
made
of
this
English
defeat
;
the
names
of
the
ships
discanted
upon
that
were
taken
,
as
ominous
to
us
,
having
lost
the
Garland
,
&c.
and
the
like
devices
:
this
the
Vulgar
:
the
Great
ones
were
consulting
of
sending
a
Fleet
to
seize
all
our
America-Isles
,
and
to
Lord
it
there
,
as
their
Ships
did
in
the
Streights
;
and
de
Wit
was
also
now
almost
ready
to
put
to
Sea
,
with
another
F●eet
of
40
ships
,
and
Van
Trump
was
ordered
to
come
away
speedily
,
with
such
Merchant-men
as
were
r●●dy
to
set
Sail
,
and
Anchor
at
the
Thames
mouth
,
and
block
up
General
Blake
,
and
the
Fleet
that
was
there
ready
:
but
he
came
too
late
to
effect
it
,
English
under
Blake
at
Sea
.
for
on
the
8
of
February
,
from
Quinborough
,
the
General
set
sail
with
about
60
men
of
War
,
intending
to
joyn
with
20
more
from
Portsmouth
;
such
a
Force
,
and
of
so
sudden
a
rise
,
that
the
Dutch
found
themselves
much
deceived
in
their
designe
abroad
,
and
Conclusions
at
home
.
On
the
11
of
February
,
the
Portsmouth-Fleet
,
the
Wind
blowing
Eastward
,
joyned
with
the
General
at
Beechy
head
,
and
thence
sailed
over
against
Portland
,
where
they
lay
a
cross
the
Channel
,
half
Sea
over
,
to
discover
Van
Trump
on
either
Shore
he
should
pass
by
.
Van

through

Channel
,
Feb.
On
the
18th
,
just
at
break
of
day
,
the
Southermost
ships
,
among
whom
was
the
Admiral
,
having
General
Dean
aboard
also
,
descryed
the
Dutch
Ships
,
being
betwixt
three
and
four
hundred
Vessels
,
close
by
the
Land
,
betwixt
them
and
Portland
;
and
immediately
the
English
made
what
sail
they
could
towards
them
;
and
Van
Trump
having
recollected
his
Ships
of
War
,
did
the
same
:
About
eight
a
clock
in
the
Morning
,
the
Triumph
with
12
ships
more
(
for
all
the
Fleet
could
not
get
up
)
Engaged

-
fight
Feb.
18
,
between
Dutch
and
English
.
the
Triumph
was
hardly
put
to
it
,
and
was
as
gallantly
relieved
by
Captain
Lawson
in
the
Fairfax
;
for
which
Service
he
was
much
looked
upon
afterwards
:
Both
were
lamentably
shattered
,
and
lost
100
men
out
of
each
ship
;
it
being
Trump's
resolution
and
Command
,
if
possible
,
to
have
carried
them
both
:
the
Vantguard
plaid
her
part
here
again
,
but
lost
her
Captain
Mildmay
,
as
the
Triumph
lost
her
Captain
Ball
,
and
Mr.
Sparrow
the
General
's
Secretary
;
Blake
was
wounded
in
the
Thigh
with
a
piece
of
Iron
a
Shot
had
driven
,
and
Dean's
Coat
and
Breeches
torn
therewith
;
the
Prosperous
,
a
ship
of
44
Guns
,
was
boarded
by
the
Dutch
,
but
presently
recovered
by
the
Merlin
Frigat
,
Commanded
by
Captain
Vessey
:
the
Assistance
,
the
Vice-Admiral
of
the
Blue
Squadron
,
was
disabled
in
the
very
beginning
of
the
Fight
,
and
was
brought
off
to
Portsmouth
,
whither
followed
the
Advice
,
being
not
longer
able
to
keep
the
Sea
.
The
Dutch
lost
six
Men
of
War
taken
and
sunk
,
the
Rigging
of
those
that
were
taken
being
besmeared
with
Brains
and
Blood
in
a
most
terrible
manner
:
Night
coming
on
,
they
parted
.
Saturday-morning
they
were
seen
again
,
being
judged
seven
Leagues
off
Weymouth
,
and
over
against
Dungenness
,
whither
the
English
plied
,
and
in
the
afternoon
began
the
Fight
again
,
the
Frigats
fetching
upon
them
,
while
the
whole
Fleet
came
up
:
Trump
now
had
put
his
Merchantmen
afore
him
,
and
fought
retreating
towards
Bulloign
,
in
his
way
whither
,
the
English
Frigats
at
large
,
snapt
many
of
his
Merchants
,
and
Captain
Lawson
boarded
a
Dutch
Man
of
War
,
and
carried
her
,
and
brought
her
to
the
Downs
.
Sunday-morning
the
Dutch
were
at
Bulloign
,
where
the
Fight
began
again
,
but
with
little
effect
,
and
in
the
dark
Trump
slipt
away
(
having
sent
his
Merchant-men
before
)
to
Calice-sands
,
where
he
Anchored
that
day
with
forty
sail
,
(
the
Wind
lying
cross
at
N.
N.
E.
but
no
further
dispute
or
encounter
happened
)
and
thence
Tyded
it
home
,
whither
a
Fleet
of
100
sail
from
Roan
,
Guarded
by
ten
Men
of
War
,
had
slipt
through
the
Channel
a
little
before
,
during
the
Fight
)
having
lost
in
all
eleven
Men
of
War
,
and
thirty
Merchants
,
1500
killed
,
and
as
many
wounded
.
On
our
side
we
had
one
ship
,
named
the
Sampson
,
shot
through
and
through
,
and
the
Captain
Button
wounded
,
was
sunk
by
him
in
the
fight
,
the
men
being
saved
aboard
other
Vessels
.
Though
it
could
not
be
dissembled
that
the
Dutch
had
the
worst
of
it
,
yet
Van
Trump
was
highly
magnified
for
his
good
conduct
,
especially
for
his
bringing
off
the
Fleet
from
Calice
,
which
argued
the
English
had
no
more
minde
to
fight
,
as
they
said
in
Holland
.
It
was
a
stiff
bout
,
especially
the
first
day
,
and
both
English
and
Dutch
did
very
gallantly
,
Stoutly
maintained
on
either
side
.
more
especially
our
Red-Coats
,
who
were
put
on
board
for
want
of
Sea-men
,
did
most
gallantly
and
undauntedly
behave
themselves
,
perpetually
firing
and
keeping
their
Station
,
in
all
danger
either
of
Fire
or
Water
,
so
that
half
of
the
Victory
belonged
to
them
;
there
being
little
odds
on
either
Side
,
save
that
we
were
the
cleaner
,
being
newly
Tallowed
and
trimmed
,
and
just
set
out
to
Sea
.
Several
Collections
were
made
in
the
West
Country
of
Money
and
Linnen
for
the
maimed
and
wounded
Sea-men
and
Souldiers
,
and
Provision
made
for
their
Reception
into
Hospitals
.
A
Fight
at
Leghorn
,
March
2.
The
next
Encounter
we
had
with
this
Enemy
,
was
off
Leghorn
;
for
Captain
Appleton
(
according
to
the
Duke's
Command
)
now
put
to
Sea
,
divers
Voluntier
English
freely
adventuring
themselves
on
board
for
their
Countries
Honour
,
the
whole
Coast
being
filled
with
Spectators
to
see
the
Combate
;
for
the
second
of
March
was
the
longest
day
allowed
for
their
stay
in
that
Port
:
Now
it
was
agreed
between
Captain
Badiley
and
Appleton
,
that
as
soon
as
Appleton
should
see
the
Dutch
set
sail
after
him
,
for
he
was
come
from
Porto
Ferraio
with
9
ships
and
a
Fire-ship
,
that
he
should
come
out
and
make
hast
to
joyn
with
him
.
Accordingly
as
soon
as
Badiley
appeared
,
and
the
Dutch
made
semblance
of
making
to
him
,
the
Wind
blowing
off
the
Shore
,
he
weighed
and
came
out
;
which
the
Dutch
observing
,
they
ceased
their
prosecution
of
Badiley
,
and
turning
the
Helm
,
sailed
directly
upon
Appleton
,
not
any
way
to
be
relieved
by
Badiley
as
the
Wind
stood
;
who
suspecting
the
event
,
with
all
speed
got
off
to
Sea
and
away
,
left
when
that
Encounter
was
over
,
the
whole
brunt
would
fall
also
on
him
.
Nevertheless
these
six
ships
resolved
to
make
a
stout
resistance
,
being
in
sight
of
that
City
and
Country
where
their
Reputation
had
been
hitherto
nobly
maintained
:
in
the
very
first
Engagement
the
Henry
Bonadventure
was
unluckily
blown
up
,
by
a
shot
from
Van
Galen
the
Dutch
Admital
,
that
came
into
the
Powder
;
the
Sampson
(
another
of
the
six
)
was
Boarded
on
both
sides
,
and
Entred
by
young
Van
Trump
,
and
afterwards
fired
by
a
Fire
ship
;
the
Peregrine
was
set
upon
by
four
Dutch
Men
of
War
,
and
having
her
Masts
shot
by
the
board
,
was
entred
and
taken
;
the
Levant
having
fought
four
hours
side
by
side
with
two
Dutch
Flag-ships
(
one
whereof
was
the
Virgin
of
Enchuysen
)
was
likewise
taken
;
The
English
worsted
.
but
the
Mary
(
amidst
the
Smoak
and
confusion
of
the
fight
)
got
clear
away
,
there
remained
only
now
the
Leopard
,
a
Navy-ship
of
50
Brass
Guns
,
who
after
six
hours
fight
with
Van
Galen
himself
,
and
another
Flag-ship
,
by
Name
the
Sun
and
the
Iulius
Caesar
,
after
a
great
slaughter
was
commanded
by
Appleton
to
be
blown
up
,
to
prevent
the
coming
into
the
Enemies
hands
;
but
the
Marriners
securing
the
Gunner
,
and
forcing
him
to
yield
,
the
ship
was
possest
by
the
Dutch
,
Van
Galen
having
lost
one
of
his
Legs
in
the
fight
,
whereof
soon
after
he
died
.
There
were
taken
Prisoners
in
this
fight
400
,
one
hundred
whereof
were
wounded
(
among
them
was
Captain
Wood
of
the
Peregrine
)
who
were
set
on
shore
and
at
liberty
,
and

taken
by
the
English
for
their
return
home
and
recovery

THE
THIRD
PART
:
BEING
The
Protectorate
.
Anno
Dom.
1653.
NOw
to
the
reproach
of
Fortune
,
and
her
glorious
Pageant
of
an
English
Commonwealth
,
which
she
had
set
up
for
another
Wonder
in
the
world
,
to
brave
the
Pyramids
of
Stone
,
Colossus
of
Brass
,
as
to
the
defence
of
Times
injury
,
having
subdued
all
likelihood
or
appearance
of
danger
from
without
(
all
Princes
being
ready
to
entertain
their
Friendship
:
)
See
the
frailty
of
this
structure
,
the
undermines
,
and
the
cheating
deceitful
labour
of
their
Architect
and
prime
Workman
in
the
Ground-work
of
this
Republican
Fabrick
.
That
Foundation
was
laid
upon
the
Ruines
of
Monarchy
,
the
seeds
whereof
being
laid
in
the
King's
Death
,
through
a
four
years
corruption
of
time
,
reared
its
Head
now
,
though
with
a
forced
and
precoce
blade
(
a
fading
verdure
that
bespoke
its
unseasonableness
and
sudden
perishment
in
the
Family
and
Person
of
this
Usurper
)
and
exerted
it self
afterwards
in
the
Hundredfold
Fruits
of
an
yielding
and
obedient
people
to
their
Rightful
Soveraign
.
It
was
perceivable
now
what
Chimera's
were
in
the
projection
of
the
Commonwealth
,
which
had
so
many
ambitious
and
covetous
Masters
,
every
one
of
them
managing
his
designe
,
and
stretching
it
to
the
same
measure
of
perpetuity
;
Sons
and
Nephews
being
brought
into
the
Parliament
,
and
the
same
Relations
upon
the
score
of
Inherent
Merit
brought
into
the
Army
,
and
these
interessedly
opposite
and
contrary
to
one
another
;
the
Single
self
(
to
the
reducing
of
it
to
Monarchical
Regiment
in
this
very
Democratick
form
)
being
solely
intended
;
so
that
it
was
little
labour
for
Cromwel
with
his
Instrument
in
his
Hand
to
charm
the
several
divided
Factions
of
that
Individuum
vagum
,
there
being
no
other
cement
or
obligation
of
their
holding
together
,
but
that
glutinous
and
sticking
Guilt
of
the
Kings
Blood
;
and
all
places
of
Command
and
Profit
were
already
in
the
Hands
of
his
Friends
and
Favourites
,
without
any
quarrel
,
or
indeed
without
any
perceivance
of
his
Grand
designe
,
which
as
it
had
worried
the
Kingdom
to
the
destruction
of
the
King
,
so
was
it
after
to
weary
them
with
another
Parliament
,
by
their
barbarous
and
strange
proceedings
,
and
so
recommend
himself
to
the
People
.
He
indeed
took
a
very
happy
juncture
for
the
Execution
of
it
,
just
as
the
Scale
of
the
Dutch
difference
was
turned
,
and
Victory
was
inclining
to
the
English
,
and
when
a
very
potent
Fleet
was
out
at
Sea
,
and
the
Moneys
at
the
rate
of
120000
l.
per
mensem
was
just
coming
in
,
and
their
Exchequer
and
other
Receipts
pretty
full
with
the
several
Incomes
,
Forfeitures
,
and
Revenues
:
and
as
to
his
assurance
of
it
,
he
wanted
not
any
assistance
,
the
Army
onely
his
,
and
a
third
part
of
the
Parliament
joyning
with
him
in
his
Conspiracy
;
which
yet
was
a
rash
and
hazardous
venture
.
There
had
been
no
Law
nor
Government
before
;
now
even
Prudence
and
Wisdom
forsook
the
Grandees
and
Principals
in
the
proceeding
Rebellion
.
For
it
was
then
clearly
and
truly
judged
,
that
the
setting
up
of
this
private
,
and
indeed
debaucht
Person
and
Family
in
opposition
to
the
King
(
the
memory
of
whose
super-excellent
Vertues
,
Gifts
and
Graces
,
and
His
cruel
Martyrdom
,
were
yet
recent
)
and
His
Heirs
,
would
presently
ruine
the
Usurper
:
for
it
being
like
to
prove
a
War
betwixt
the
Crown
and
Iack
Cade
,
it
was
rightly
concludible
,
that
no
longer
than
his
Rebel-rout
could
be
maintained
and
kept
together
,
could
it
be
expected
that
Oliver's
bloody
house
could
stand
.
The
prosperous
Rebel
never
boded
this
,
nor
did
he
think
it
within
his
consideration
:
his
great
aims
were
upon
the
Parliament
,
an
impotent
and
feeble
Crue
that
stood
upon
his
Crutches
,
and
yet
threatned
to
beat
him
with
them
;
such
Masters
of
Defence
they
were
.
This
made
him
forsake
his
Wiles
and
Fabian
delays
,
and
with
his
Sword
riddle
the
Oracle
of
this
Delphick
Parliament
by
its
dissolution
.
Fate
never
played
such
a
frolick
prank
,
nor
was
there
ever
such
a
Scene
of
Mirth
in
all
her
Mazes
and
Varieties
of
Government
.
Nor
often
do
wicked
great
men
survive
the
infamy
and
dishonour
of
their
Actions
,
and
live
the
infamous
obloquie
and
reproach
of
themselves
:
but
as
if
God
would
invert
the
threatned
punishment
of
the
breach
of
the
fifth
Commandment
,
these
unexampled
parricides
were
decreed
to
outlive
the
desire
of
Life
,
and
to
see
all
their
Greatness
buried
;
their
Reputation
abroad
,
and
their
Dread
at
home
,
fallen
into
such
Ignominy
and
Disgrace
,
that
it
was
turned
to
a
Ballad
,
[
](A43206-e172620-b)*
*
Twelve
Parliament-men
for
a
penny
.
in
the
most
scummy
and
vilest
Language
conceivable
;
and
this
so
all
of
an
instant
and
sudden
,
that
the
Portugal
Embassador
,
who
then
attended
them
here
,
said
,
That
his
Masters
assumption
to
that
Crown
in
1640
was
very
speedy
and
miraculous
,
but
this
Revolution
did
far
exceed
it
,
both
as
to
the
bloodlessness
and
stilness
of
it
;
it
seeming
to
be
done
as
in
a
dream
,
so
pitifully
and
abjectly
did
these
petty
Princes
behave
themselves
in
this
rencounter
,
which
happened
on
the
20
of
April
,
in
this
manner
.
Oliver
himself
,
attended
by
Major-General
Lambert
,
Harrison
,
and
some
8
more
Officers
(
having
after
several
conferences
with
their
Committees
(
who
shewed
him
the
danger
of
calling
a
new
Representative
,
as
the
case
then
stood
with
the
Commonwealth
,
for
that
no
Qualifications
could
sufficiently
secure
the
Interest
thereof
;
and
that
the
onely
way
was
to
recruit
the
House
,
which
could
judge
of
such
Elections
by
their
own
Authority
)
received
no
satisfaction
)
entred
the
House
,
(
some
Members
being
made
privy
to
his
designe
before
,
especially
Sir
Gilbert
Pickering
,
who
had
held
consultation
the
night
before
with
him
,
and
was
up
armed
in
his
Chamber
till
the
very
time
)
and
after
a
Speech
therein
,
shewed
the
reasons
and
necessity
of
their
Dissolution
,
did
declare
it
to
be
so
,
and
desired
them
to
depart
:
and
presently
Major-General
Harrison
peremptorily
bid
the
Speaker
to
leave
the
Chair
;
The
manner
of
dissolving
the
Parliament
.
which
he
refusing
to
do
without
the
Order
of
the
House
,
and
till
he
was
pulled
out
,
Harrison
desired
him
to
lend
him
his
Hand
,
and
gently
heaved
him
out
.
Cromwel
also
commanded
that
Bauble
(
as
he
called
the
Mace
)
to
be
taken
away
,
and
to
be
carried
no
more
in
State
before
him
:
and
so
having
turned
them
out
of
Doors
,
lockt
them
up
,
and
clapt
Guards
before
them
,
and
about
all
the
Avenues
of
the
Palace
,
to
keep
these
Spirits
out
from
possessing
it
again
.
The
news
of
this
Luciferian
fall
,
was
quickly
spread
throughout
the
City
,
and
from
thence
into
the
Kingdom
,
being
related
and
received
with
all
imaginable
gladness
,
while
the
Members
slunk
away
,
muttering
to
themselves
the
affront
they
had
received
,
and
laying
their
Heads
together
how
to
retrieve
themselves
;
for
loath
they
were
to
suffer
this
violence
,
or
acknowledge
their
Dissolution
,
which
they
would
by
no
means
hear
of
.
But
what
ever
they
fancied
to
the
contrary
,
raving
at
this
boldness
and
audaciousness
of
their
Servant
,
as
they
stiled
Cromwel
,
he
minded
it
not
,
but
went
on
in
his
work
.
The
Government
(
such
as
it
was
)
was
now
lodged
in
the
Council
of
Officers
of
his
own
making
and
preferring
;
and
the
first
thing
done
by
them
after
this
new
Model
,
was
the
emitting
of
a
Declaration
from
him
and
his
Officers
,
shewing
the
grounds
and
reasons
of
this
Dissolution
of
the
Parliament
,
with
an
account
of
their
Intentions
as
to
the
present
and
future
Government
of
the
Nation
:
which
that
it
may
appear
by
how
slender
a
Thread
the
Sword
of
this
Lawless
Commander
hung
over
the
Heads
of
those
Parliament-Tyrants
,
is
very
requisite
to
be
inserted
,
it
holding
forth
the
present
intrigues
of
Cromwel's
designes
and
method
of
Ambition
.
A
Declaration
of
the
General
and
Council
of
Officers
about
the
Dissolution
,
&c.
OVr
intention
is
not
to
give
an
account
,
at
this
time
,
of
the
grounds
which
first
moved
us
to
take
up
Arms
,
and
engage
our
Lives
and
all
that
was
dear
unto
us
in
this
Cause
;
nor
to
minde
in
this
Declaration
the
various
Dispensations
through
which
Divine
Providence
hath
led
us
,
or
the
witness
the
Lord
hath
born
,
and
the
many
signal
Testimonies
of
acceptance
which
he
hath
given
to
the
sincere
endeavours
of
his
unworthy
servants
,
whilst
they
were
contesting
with
the
many
and
great
difficulties
,
as
well
in
the
Wars
,
as
other
transactions
in
the
three
Nations
;
being
necessitated
,
for
the
defence
of
the
same
Cause
they
first
asserted
,
to
have
recourse
unto
extraordinary
actions
;
the
same
being
evident
by
former
Declarations
published
on
that
behalf
.
After
it
had
pleased
God
not
onely
to
reduce
Ireland
,
and
give
in
Scotland
,
but
so
marvelously
to
appear
for
his
people
at
Worcester
,
that
these
Nations
were
reduced
to
a
great
degree
of
Peace
,
and
England
to
perfect
quiet
,
and
thereby
the
Parliament
had
opportunity
to
give
the
people
the
Harvest
of
all
their
Labour
,
Blood
,
and
Treasure
,
and
to
settle
a
due
Liberty
both
in
reference
to
Civil
and
Spiritual
things
;
whereunto
they
were
obliged
by
their
Duty
,
their
Engagements
,
as
also
the
great
&
wonderful
things
which
God
hath
wrought
for
them
:
it
was
matter
of
much
grief
to
the
good
and
well-affected
of
the
Land
to
observe
the
little
progress
which
was
made
therein
;
who
thereupon
applied
to
the
Army
,
expecting
redress
by
their
means
;
notwithstanding
which
,
the
Army
being
unwilling
to
meddle
with
the
civil
Authority
in
matters
so
properly
appertaining
to
it
,
it
was
agreed
,
that
his
Excellency
and
Officers
of
the
Army
,
which
were
Members
of
Parliament
,
should
be
desired
to
move
the
Parliament
to
proceed
vigorously
in
reforming
what
was
amiss
in
Government
,
and
to
the
setling
of
the
Commonwealth
upon
a
foundation
of
justice
and
righteousness
;
which
having
done
,
we
hoped
that
the
Parliament
would
seasonably
have
answered
our
expectations
:
But
finding
(
to
our
grief
)
delays
therein
,
we
renewed
our
desires
in
an
humble
Petition
to
them
,
which
was
presented
in
August
last
;
and
although
they
at
that
time
,
signifying
their
good
acceptance
thereof
,
returned
us
thanks
,
and
referred
the
particulars
thereof
to
a
Committee
of
the
House
,
yet
no
considerable
effect
was
produced
,
nor
any
such
progress
made
,
as
might
imply
their
real
intentions
to
accomplish
what
was
petitioned
for
;
but
on
the
contrary
,
there
more
and
more
appeared
amongst
them
an
aversion
to
the
things
themselves
,
with
much
bitterness
and
opposition
to
the
people
of
God
,
and
his
Spirit
acting
in
them
;
which
grew
so
prevalent
,
that
those
persons
of
Honour
and
Integrity
amongst
them
who
had
eminently
appeared
for
God
and
the
Publick
good
,
both
before
and
throughout
this
War
,
were
rendred
of
no
further
use
in
Parliament
,
than
by
meeting
with
a
corrupt
party
,
to
give
them
countenance
to
carry
on
their
ends
,
and
for
effecting
the
desire
they
had
of
perpetuating
themselves
in
the
supream
Government
.
For
which
purpose
,
the
said
party
long
opposed
,
and
frequently
declared
themselves
against
having
a
new
Representative
,
and
when
they
saw
themselves
necessitated
to
take
that
Bill
into
Consideration
,
they
resolved
to
make
use
of
it
to
recruit
the
House
with
persons
of
the
same
Spirit
and
Temper
,
thereby
to
perpetuate
their
own
sitting
.
Which
Intention
divers
of
the
activest
amongst
them
did
manifest
,
labouring
to
perswade
others
to
a
consent
therein
:
And
the
better
to
effect
this
,
divers
Petitions
preparing
from
several
Counties
for
the
continuance
of
this
Parliament
,
were
encouraged
,
if
not
set
on
foot
by
many
of
them
.
For
obviating
these
evils
,
the
Officers
of
the
Army
obtained
several
Meetings
with
some
of
the
Parliament
,
to
consider
what
fitting
means
and
remedy
might
be
applied
to
prevent
the
same
:
But
such
endeavours
proving
altogether
ineffectual
,
it
became
most
evident
to
the
Army
,
as
they
doubt
not
it
also
is
to
all
considering
persons
,
that
this
Parliament
,
through
the
corruption
of
some
,
the
jealousie
of
others
,
the
non-attendance
and
negligence
of
many
,
would
never
answer
those
ends
which
God
,
his
People
,
and
the
whole
Nation
expected
from
them
,
but
that
this
Cause
which
the
Lord
hath
so
greately
blessed
,
and
bore
witness
to
,
must
needs
languish
under
their
Hands
,
and
by
degrees
be
wholly
lost
,
and
the
Lives
,
Liberties
,
and
Comforts
of
his
people
delivered
into
their
Enemies
hands
.
All
which
being
sadly
and
seriously
considered
by
the
honest
people
of
this
Nation
,
as
well
as
by
the
Army
,
and
Wisdome
and
Direction
being
sought
from
the
Lord
,
it
seemed
to
be
a
duty
incumbent
upon
us
,
who
had
seen
so
much
of
the
power
and
presence
of
God
going
along
with
us
,
to
consider
of
some
more
effectual
means
to
secure
the
Cause
which
the
good
people
of
this
Commonwealth
had
been
so
long
engaged
in
,
and
to
establish
Righteousness
and
Peace
in
these
Nations
.
And
after
much
debate
,
it
was
judged
necessary
,
and
agreed
upon
,
that
the
Supream
Authority
should
be
by
the
Parliament
devolved
upon
known
persons
,
men
fearing
God
,
and
of
approved
Integrity
;
and
the
Government
of
the
Commonwealth
committed
unto
them
for
a
time
,
as
the
most
hopeful
way
to
encourage
and
countenance
all
Gods
people
,
reform
the
Law
,
and
administer
Iustice
impartially
,
hoping
thereby
the
people
might
forget
Monarchy
,
and
understanding
their
true
Interest
in
the
Election
of
successive
Parliaments
,
may
have
the
Government
setled
upon
a
true
Basis
,
without
hazard
to
this
glorious
Cause
,
or
necessitating
to
keep
up
Armies
for
the
defence
of
the
same
.
And
being
still
resolved
to
use
all
means
possible
to
avoid
extraordinary
courses
,
we
prevailed
with
about
twenty
Members
of
Parliament
to
give
us
a
Conference
;
with
whom
we
freely
and
plainly
debated
the
necessity
and
justness
of
our
Proposals
on
that
behalf
;
and
did
evidence
that
those
▪
and
not
the

An
Act
for
filling
up
the
Parliament
.
Act
under
their
Consideration
,
would
most
probably
bring
forth
something
answerable
to
that
Work
,
the
foundation
whereof
God
himself
hath
laid
,
and
is
now
carrying
on
in
the
World
.
The
which
notwithstanding
found
no
acceptance
;
but
in
stead
thereof
,
it
was
offered
,
that
the
way
was
to
continue
still
this
present
Parliament
,
as
being
that
from
which
we
might
reasonably
expect
all
good
things
.
And
this
being
vehemently
insisted
upon
,
did
much
confirm
us
in
our
apprehensions
,
That
not
any
love
to
a
Representative
,
but
the
making
use
thereof
to
recruit
,
and
so
to
perpetuate
themselves
,
was
their
aim
.
They
being
plainly
dealt
with
about
this
,
and
told
,
that
neither
the
Nation
,
the
honest
Interest
,
nor
we
our selves
,
would
be
deluded
by
such
dealings
;
They
did
agree
to
meet
again
the
next
day
in
the
Afternoon
for
mutual
satisfaction
;
it
being
consented
to
by
the
Members
present
,
that
Endeavours
should
be
used
,
that
nothing
in
the
mean
time
should
be
done
in
Parliament
that
might
exclude
or
frustrate
the
Proposals
before-mentioned
.
Notwithstanding
this
,
the
next
Morning
the
Parliament
did
make
more
hast
than
usual
in
carrying
on
their
said
Act
,
being
helped
on
therein
by
some
of
the
persons
engaged
to
us
the
night
before
,
none
of
them
which
were
then
present
endeavouring
to
oppose
the
same
;
and
being
ready
to
put
the
main
Question
for
consummating
the
said
Act
,
whereby
our
aforesaid
Proposals
would
have
been
rendered
void
,
and
the
way
of
bringing
them
into
a
fair
and
full
Debate
in
Parliament
obstructed
.
For
preventing
whereof
,
and
all
the
sad
and
evil
consequences
which
must
upon
the
grounds
aforesaid
have
ensued
,
and
whereby
at
one
blow
the
Interest
of
all
honest
men
,
and
of
this
glorious
Cause
,
had
been
endangered
to
be
laid
in
the
Dust
,
and
these
Nations
embroyled
in
new
Troubles
,
at
a
time
when
our
Enemies
abroad
are
watching
all
advantages
against
us
,
and
some
of
them
actually
engaged
in
War
with
us
;
We
have
been
necessitated
,
though
with
much
reluctancy
,
to
put
an
end
to
this
Parliament
;
which
yet
we
have
done
,
(
we
hope
)
out
of
an
honest
heart
,
preferring
this
Cause
above
our
Names
,
Lives
,
Families
,
or
Interests
,
how
dear
soever
;
with
clear
intentions
,
and
real
purposes
of
heart
,
to
call
to
the
Government
persons
of
approved
fidelity
and
honesty
;
believing
,
that
as
none
wise
will
expect
to
gather
Grapes
of
Thornes
,
so
good
men
will
hope
,
that
if
persons
so
qualified
be
chosen
,
the
fruits
of
a
just
and
righteous
Reformation
,
so
long
prayed
and
wished
for
,
will
(
by
the
blessing
of
God
)
be
in
due
time
obtained
,
to
the
refreshing
of
all
those
good
hearts
who
have
been
panting
after
these
things
.
Much
more
might
have
been
said
,
if
it
had
been
our
desire
to
justifie
our selves
by
aspersing
others
,
and
raking
into
the
Mis-government
of
affairs
;
but
we
shall
conclude
with
this
,
That
as
we
have
been
led
by
Necessity
and
Providence
to
act
as
we
have
done
,
even
beyond
and
above
our
own
thoughts
and
desires
;
so
we
shall
and
do
,
in
that
of
this
great
Work
which
is
behinde
,
put
our selves
wholly
upon
the
Lord
for
a
Blessing
;
professing
we
look
not
to
stand
one
day
without
his
support
,
much
less
to
bring
to
pass
any
of
the
things
mentioned
and
desired
without
his
assistance
:
And
therefore
do
solemnly
desire
and
expect
,
that
all
men
,
as
they
would
not
provoke
the
Lord
to
their
own
destruction
,
should
wait
for
such
issue
as
he
shall
bring
forth
,
and
to
follow
their
business
with
peaceable
spirits
;
wherein
,
we
promise
them
protection
by
his
assistance
.
And
for
those
who
profess
their
fear
and
love
to
the
Name
of
God
,
that
seeing
in
a
great
measure
,
for
their
sakes
,
and
for
Righteousness
sake
,
we
have
taken
our
Lives
in
our
hand
to
do
these
things
;
they
would
be
instant
with
the
Lord
day
and
night
on
our
behalfs
,
that
we
may
obtain
Grace
from
him
:
And
seeing
we
have
made
so
often
mention
of
his
Name
,
that
we
may
not
do
the
least
dishonour
thereunto
;
which
indeed
would
be
our
confusion
,
and
a
stain
to
the
whole
profession
of
Godliness
.
We
beseech
them
also
to
live
in
all
Humility
,
Meekness
,
Righteousness
,
and
Love
one
towards
another
,
and
towards
all
men
;
that
so
they
may
put
to
silence
the
Ignorance
of
the
Foolish
,
who
falsly
accuse
them
;
and
to
know
,
that
the
late
great
and
Glorious
Dispensations
,
wherein
the
Lord
hath
so
wonderfully
appeared
in
bringing
forth
these
things
,
by
the
travel
and
Blood
of
his
Children
,
ought
to
oblige
them
so
to
walk
in
the
Wisdom
and
love
of
Christ
,
as
may
cause
others
to
honour
their
holy
Profession
,
because
they
see
Christ
to
be
in
them
of
a
truth
.
We
do
further
purpose
,
before
it
be
long
,
more
particularly
to
shew
the
grounds
of
our
Proceedings
,
and
the
Reasons
of
this
late
great
Action
and
Change
,
which
in
this
we
have
but
hinted
at
.
And
we
do
lastly
Declare
,
That
all
Iudges
,
Sheriffs
,
Iustices
of
Peace
,
Mayors
,
Bayliffs
,
Committees
,
and
all
other
Civil
Officers
,
and
Publick
Ministers
whatsoever
,
within
this
Commonwealth
,
or
any
parts
thereof
,
do
proceed
in
their
respective
Places
and
Offices
;
and
all
persons
whatsoever
are
to
give
Obedience
to
them
as
fully
as
when
the
Parliament
was
sitting
.
Signed
in
the
Name

the
22
of
April
,
1653.
The
next
thing
they
published
,
was
an
Injunction
to
all
the
Officers
and
Souldiers
in
the
Army
,
forbidding
them
to
make
any
disturbance
in
Churches
,
or
affronting
of
Ministers
and
people
in
Congregations
;
which
was
done
to
gain
them
an
opinion
of
Religious
Piety
and
Zeal
for
the
Worship
and
Service
of
God
,
now
frequently
profaned
by
the
Sectarian
Principles
of
Anabaptism
,
Quaking
,
and
Ranting
,
(
the
two
later
whereof
began
to
spread
about
this
time
,
and
be
very
infectious
in
the
Army
and
their
Quarters
)
which
were
licensed
among
the
Souldiery
,
who
were
every
where
drawn
together
to
Rendezvouzes
,
to
subscribe
Addresses
to
their
General
,
Addresses
to
Cromwel
.
declaring
their
approbation
of
what
he
had
done
to
the
Government
,
and
promising
to
assist
him
in
his
undertakings
with
their
Lives
,
with
their
hopeful
expectation
of
the
great
and
glorious
Work
to
be
accomplished
by
him
,
to
the
building
up
of
Sion
,
&c.
The
like
he
received
from
the
Fleet
upon
the
news
of
the
Change
communicated
to
them
,
who
resolved
with
the
same
courage
to
proceed
against
the
common
Enemy

Dutch
;

the

with
a
Fleet

Vice-Admiral
Pen
being
now
in
the
Downs
with
seventy
sail
of
●●out
Men
of
War
,
and
General
Monke
and
Dean
expected
with
some
more
of
the
Western
squadron
,
with
which
they
now
Anchored
at
Saint

.
The
first
Forrain
Address
that
was
made
to
this
DICTATOR
,
(
for
such
another
Regiment
was
that
of
Lucius
Scylla
,
and
C.
Marius
amongst
the
Romans
,
for
by
that
term
of
Authority
he
is
b●●t
distinguished
▪
was
from
the
Agents
of
the
Rebel-City
of
Bourdeaux
,
(
then
maintained
by
the
Prince
of
Conti
against
the
French
King
)
while
his
Embassador
Bourdeaux
was
here
for
a
Peace
;
whose
offering
a
more
advantageous
Treaty
to
the
Interest
of
Cromwel
,
was
one
occasion
of
crushing
that
transaction
;
and
Cromwel
besides
was
ready
to
Prince
it
himself
;
and
those
Examples
were
no
way
to
be
encouraged
by
him
.
The
Dictator
having
held
the
Supreme
Power
some
few
days
,
Cromwel
a
Dictator
.
devolved
it
by
a
Declaration
to
a
Council
of
State
;
(
his
ignorant
conceited
Officers
soaring
such
flights
,
and
such
their
extravagant
notions
of
Government
,
and
their
pertness
in
them
,
that
made
him
quickly
weary
of
such
Counsellors
or
Companions
:
)
these
were
partly
the
greatest
Officers
in
the
Army
;
as
Lambert
,
Dean
,
Harrison
;
and
partly
Members
of
the
late
Parliament
,
(
among
whom
the
Lord
Fairfax
was
by
name
now
listed
into
this
Juncto
)
and
some
other
new
Gamesters
of
Cromwel's
Cabinet
Counsel
.
At
the
latter
end
of
this
Declaration
,
he
limited
the
time
of
their
power
till
the
persons
of
known
Fidelity
and
Honesty
should
meet
,
according
to
the
nomination
&
appointment
of
his
Council
,
to
take
upon
them
the
Supream
Authority
;
A
Council
of
State
.
and
in
the
interim
,
to
this
Council
all
obedience
upon
Peril
was
required
,
and
all
Justices
and
Sheriffs
,
and
other
Officers
were
ordered
to
continue
in
their
respective
Commissions
and
places
,
and
Writs
to
run
in
the
same
stile
,
of
the
Keepers
of
the
Liberties
of
England
.
The
first
work
this
Council
did
,
was
the
publishing
of
an
Ordinance
for
six
months
Assessment
,
from
the
24
of
Iune
,
and
was
obeyed
in
all
points
like
an
Act
of
Parliament
,
and
better
welcomed
than
any
of
the
late
ones
,
for
its
decrease
of
the
Tax
to
a
considerable
fall
;
another
Artifice
to
gain
the
people
:
but
the
Treasuries
were
now
reasonable
full
by
the
Providence
of
all
Parliament
.

This
turn

very
acceptable
news
to
the

his
Friends

Counsellors
saluting
and
complementing
him
with
the
infallible
hopes
of
his
Restitution

those
means

Gladness

was
concerning
it

late
Lord
Digby
,
was
now
honoured
with
the
Order
of
the
Garter
at

great
expectation
there
was
of
a
successful
Issue
of
the
Earl
of

Negotiation
at
the
Diet
at

,
and
of
potent
assistance
from
other
Princes
His
Allies

Confederates
,
among
whom
the
Dutch
were
now
reckoned
not
the
least
considerable
;
General
Middleton
being
on
his
Journey
thither
to
Treat
with
them
about
furnishing
an
Expedition
into
Scotland
,
where
he
was
to
Command
in
chief
:
but
the
Dutch
having
offered
a
Treaty
at
any
neutral
place
,
which
was
now
refused
by
Cromwel
except
at
London
,
they
would
not
presently
Engage
,
till
that
Issue
was
known
.

On
the
4
of
May
,
Trump
with
80
Men
of
War
set
sail
again
from
the
Texel
,
to
meet
a
Fleet
of
200
sail
from
Nants
and
other
parts
in
France
coming
round
about
by
Ireland
,
and
to
secure
other
ships
from
the
Eastland
laden
with
Cordage
and
other
Ship-materials
and
necessaries
;
which
the
Nants
Fleet
being
ready
for
him
,
he
nimbly
effected
,
missing
of
our
English
Navy
,
who
having
Rendezvouzed
at
Humber-mouth
,
sailed
to
Aberdeen
,
and
so
to
Shetland
,
and
thence
passed
over
to
the
Danish
Shore
,
where
they
had
intelligence
that
Trump
had
dispatcht
his
errand
by
that
lucky
meeting
of
his
Nants
Fleet
,
and
had
returned
for
Holland
:
whereupon
they
presently
steered
for
England
;
but
before
their
arrival
in
any
Port
,
Van
Trump
having
quitted
his
Merchant-men
,
and
delivered
them
sate
,
to
the
great
rejoycing
of
the
Dutch
,
came
instantly
into
the
Downs
,
Trump
in
the
Downs
,
having
given
the
English
a
go-by
.
with
a
resolution
to
fire
and
seize
all
such
Ships
as
were
before
Dover
,
there
being
no
Guard
nor
protection
neer
them
;
and
on
the
26
of
May
,
missing
of
his
aim
,
rantingly
battered
Dover
with
his
whole
Fleet
all
that
day
,
to
the
Alarming
of
all
the
Coast
adjacent
;
while
the
English
Fleet
,
having
visited
the
Coast
of
Holland
,
put
them
into
no
less
consternation
and
wonder
how
we
were
able
to
Equip
and
Man
100
sail
of
War-ships
in
so
short
a
time
,
and
in
such
a
distracted
condition
of
State
.
Next
day
Trump
having
laid
his
Scouts
abroad
to
get
intelligence
of
the
English
Fleet
,
as
also
to
intercept

coming
into

stayed
in

and
continued
the
Service
without
further
notice
of
the
accident

Of
the

side
an
Admiral
was
blown
up
,
the
Captain
Cornelius
Van
Velso
,
and
Captain
Bolter's
ship
and
three
more
sunk
;
which
made
Trump
sail
for
the
Dunkirk-Coast
between
,
and
some
of
his
ships
over
the
Flats
,
in
hope
to
strand
the
English
upon
the
pursuit
;
and
in
case
the
great
ships
should
with
more
heed
desist
from
the
Chase
,
that
the
nimble
and
formost
Frigats
being
too
far
Engaged
,
and
that
without
succour
from
them
,
in
those
Shallows
might
fall
without
recovering
into
his
hands
,
by
his
turning
upon
them
with
his
ablest
and
lightest
Vessels
,
of
which
he
had
store
,
and
so
escaped
that
night

in
the
Morning
,
(
General
Blake
being
now
joyned
with
them
,
with
a
Squadron
of
18
more
Men
of
War
)
and
continued
till
eleven
or
twelve
,
when
the
Dutch
began
to
flye
for
it
,
and
Van
Trump
to
fire
at
those
ships
that
ran
;
but
they
being
not
to
be
staid
,
run
all
into
a
huddle
,
which
made
them
an
easie
prey
,
by
reason
of
their
confusion
;
ninety
Men
of
War
being
so
mingled
one
with
another
,
that
they
could
not
come
to
do
any
Execution
upon
us
,
without
greater
damage
to
themselves
.
This
lucky
pursuit
was
continued
till
night
,
Trump
defeated
,
June
2
,
3.
and
some
fifteen
more
ships
taken
;
and
had
day
lasted
,
few
of
them
had
escaped
.
Trump
now
steered
S.
and
by
E.
with
a
fresh
Eastward
Gale
,
it
having
been
calm
before
;
and
General
Monke
E.
N.
E.
to
Zealand
,
and
came
to
an
Anchor
at
seven
Fathom
water
,
and
found
the
Dutch
Fleet
arrived
at
Blackenburgh
,
one
of
those
places
of
strength
pawned
to
Queen
Elizabeth
for
security
of
that
assistance
in
men
and
money
she
afforded
those
States
.
Van
Trump
laid
the
misfortune
of
this
Defeat
upon
the
ignorance
and
unskilfulness
of
his
Captains
.
And
thus
ended
this
Dutch
Bravado
upon
our
Coast
,
and
in
the
Downs
,
where
they
had
first
attempted
the
tryal
of
strength
,
and
to
wrest
the
Soveraignty
of
the
Seas
;
The
Dutch
hang
out
a
white
Flag
,
and
send
a
Messenger
to
the
English
,
in
order
to
a
Peace
.
A
new
Parliament
called
.
to
the
so
breaking
of
their
Stomacks
,
that
a
resolution
for
Peace
and
Agreement
was
presently
taken
up
,
and
a
Vessel
with
a
white
Flag
,
and
a
Messenger
to
prepare
the
way
for
two
Embassadors
,
was
sent
into
England
:
so
uncertain
and
ridiculous
is
the
greatest
Humane
confidence
!
The
Council
of
State
now
issued
out
Summons
for
the
Parliament-men
the
Officers
had
nominated
and
presented
to
Cromwel
,
being
persons
of
Integrity
and
Fidelity
to
the
Commonwealth
,
as
the
project
was
,
because
there
was
no
choice
could
be
made
by
the
Country
without
apparent
hazard
to
the
good
Cause
so
long
contested
for
,
for
that
the
disaffected
would
creep
in
;
and
therefore
this
extraordinary
Proceeding
was
to
be
Authorized
by
the
safety
of
the
people
,
the
Supreme
Law
.
This
was
Sophistry
in
the
Parliament
:
it
was
the
highest
reason
now
with
Oliver
,
though
the
most
palpable
and
bold
subversion
of
the
English
Freedom
that
could
be
imagined
;
but
Oliver
had
the
Sword
,
and
thought
he
gratified
the
people
another
way
in
exchange
,
by
freeing
them
from
the
Task-masters
of
the
Parliament
,
than
whom
,
with
the
Old
Woman
,
they
thought
they
could
not
have
worse
,
whoever
came
next
.
And
that
the
new
Commonwealth
and
its
friends
might
see
that
there
was
no
good
to
be
done
by
a
Parliament
after
the
utmost
experiment
of
it
,
and
to
prepare
the
greater
acceptableness
of
his
Image
of
Government
;
(
which
had
the
Brass
,
the
Iron
,
and
the
Clay
to
its
Composition
,
in
its
rise
,
maintenance
and
perishment
)
he
gave
them
a
tast
and
sight
of
the
gross
and
most
absurd
destructive
errours
of
this
Purest
Convention
,
men
differenced
from
the
rest
by
the
Character
of
Nathaniel
,
being
without
Guile
;
to
whom
he
directed
this
Paper
.
Forasmuch
as
upon
the
Dissolution
of
the
late
Parliament
,
The
Summons
.
it
became
necessary
that
the
Peace
should
be
provided
for
;
and
in
order
thereunto
,
divers
persons
fearing
God
,
&c.
and
of
approved
Fidelity
and
Integrity
,
&
c.
are
by
my self
and
the
Council
of
Officers
nominated
to
the
Trust
,
&c.
and
having
good
assurance
of
your
Love
,
and
courage
for
God
,
and
the
Interest
of
his
Cause
and
good
people
:
I
Oliver
Cromwel
,
Captain
General
of
all
the
Forces
raised
,
and
to
be
raised
within
this
Commonwealth
,
do
require
and
Summon
You
—
being
one
of
the
persons
nominated
,
to
appear
in
the
Chamber
commonly
called
the
Council-Chamber
in
Whitehall
in
the
City
of
Westminster
,
on
the
4
of
July
,
there
to
take
upon
you
the
Trust
,
&c.
to
which
ye
are
called
,
and
appointed
a
Member
for
the
County
of
A.
—
And
these
good
men
and
true
resolved
to
come
together
and
give
their
Verdict
against
the
Publick
.
A
good
juncture
now
offered
it self
to
the
Scotch
Nobility
,
and
the
Loyal
Party
their
adherents
,
to
redeem
themselves
and
Country
from
the
slavery
of
their
new
Master
,
a
great
deal
more
costly
and
absolute
than
their
Kirk-Rulers
,
as
having
no
other
Communion
with
this
,
New
Scotch
Troubles
.
than
in
the
perillous
concerns
of
Person
and
Estate
:
The
chief
of
these
Nobles
were
the
Earls
of
Glencarne
,
Seaforth
,
and
Athol
;
the
Lairds
Mac
Cloud
,
Mac
Renalds
;
the
Frazers
;
the
Lord
Kenmore
,
the
Earl
of
Kinoule
,
though
at
present
a
Prisoner
in
Edenburgh-Castle
,
from
whence
he
,
Colonel
Montgomery
,
and
Lieutenant-Colonel
Peter
Hay
very
nearly
afterwards
escaped
into
this
Party
.
They
had
lately
received
a
Commission
from
the
King
,
(
and
in
Parties
appeared
up
and
down
)
in
order
to
their
raising
new
Levies
,
which
they
encreased
to
some
competent
numbers
,
expecting
additional
supplies
from
beyond
Sea
,
and
their
Friends
in
the
Low-lands
,
and
some
English
Auxiliaries
;
of
all
which
,
and
the
Velitatory
War
made
by
them
,
hereafter
in
its
place
expect
an
Abstract
and
Epitome
.
Nothing
remarkable
in
Ireland
but
the
raging
of
the
Plague
,
which
followed
the
Sword
,
and
accompanied
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
;
as
if
no
affliction
could
satisfie
for
the
Barbarous
Wickedness
of
that
Nation
;
on
whom
notwithstanding
it
fell
not
alone
,
but
spread
it self
afterwards
into
the
English
Quarters
,
and
carried
away
a
great
number
of
people
.
Colonel
Sullyman
was
now
defeated
in
Kerry
,
and
his
Major
Fitz
Gerald
taken
Prisoner
;
and
the
Transplantation
now
begun
.
The
English
still
lay
upon
the
Coast
of
Holland
,
(
having
for
a
while
refreshed
themselves
at
Soal-Bay
)
into
whose
Ports
and
Harbours
,
upon
the
pursuit
as
far
as
the
Texel
,
they
had
driven
and
scattered
the
Dutch
Fleet
;
which
had
so
brought
down
the
stomacks
of
the
Hollander
,
that
that
Province
having
as
before
sent
away
a
Boat
with
a
white
Flag
,
with
a
Messenger
for
a
Pasport
and
a
Safe-Conduct
for
two
Embassadors
;
and
having
obtained
it
,
sent
away
the
Lords
Youngstall
and
Vande
Perre
,
to
follow
two
others
newly
gone
before
.
These
arrived
the
20
of
Iune
,
and
had
Audience
the
22
,
their
Message
being
of
such
importance
:
for
every
day
their
Merchant-ships
were
taken
coming
home
,
and
there
was
no
stirring
out
for
any
,
so
that
there
was
an
absolute
Cessation
there
of
Trade
,
The
Dutch
Trade
at
a
stand
.
no
less
than
30
ships
of
good
lading
having
been
taken
by
our
Fleet
riding
up
and
down
about
their
Havens
.
But
this
expedited
and
the
more
hastily
and
intently
carried
on
their
preparations
for
War
,
if
Peace
should
not
be
presently
concluded
;
the
major
part
of
their
Fleet
being
put
into
Zealand
and
that
Coast
,
was
new
Rigging
there
,
and
some
new
ships
off
the
Stocks
,
and
this
Van
Trump
supervised
:
another
new
Fleet
was
equipping
at
Amsterdam
,
and
that
De
Wit
took
the
care
and
charge
of
:
the
Marriners
Wages
(
though
there
was
no
other
Employment
for
them
)
were
now
raised
:
the
Lords
States
themselves
came
down
to
the
several
Ports
,
and
saw
the
men
imbarqued
,
to
whom
they
gave
Money
in
hand
,
and
took
them
by
it
,
requesting
of
them
now
to
do
valiantly
for
their
Country
;
and
telling
them
,
that
if
they
fought
well
this
time
,
they
should
fight
no
more
:
and
for
the
better
incitement
,
and
to
see
every
man
do
his
duty
,
two
of
the
States
went
on
board
a
nimble-Frigat
,
to
be
present
at
the
Fight
,
now
with
all
speed
resolved
on
;
and
in
confidence
of
success
,
this
Fleet
was
Victualled
for
five
Months
,
which
time
it
should
continue
abroad
,
blocking
up
our
Harbours
in
like
manner
as
we
did
theirs
;
for
as
yet
in
Forrain
Courts
and
Countries
they
would
not
confess
we
were
too
hard
for
them
;
and
this
bout
would
rectifie
all
,
and
adjust
their
Stories
.
The
last
Dutch
Engagement
between
Gen.
Monke
and
Van
Trump
on
the
Coast
of
Holland
,
July
29.
This
happened
in
the
end
of
Iuly
;
it
having
been
so
ordered
,
that
both
the
Fleets
under
Van
Trump
from
the
Weilings
in
Zealand
,
and
De
Wit
from
the
Texel
,
should
meet
upon
the
Engagement
:
General
Monke
with
the
English
Fleet
lying
as
it
were
in
the
mid-way
.
On
the
29
of
Iuly
,
the
Scouts
a
Head
discovered
this
Dutch
Fleet
,
whereupon
the
General
made
after
them
;
but
they
standing
away
for
De
Wit
,
it
was
five
a
clock
at
night
ere
any
of
our
Frigats
got
up
to
them
,
when
they
appeared
to
be
90
sail
of
Men
of
War
,
and
ten
Fire-ships
:
about
7
that
night
,
General
Monke
(
aboard
the
Resolution
)
got
up
to
them
,
with
some
30
ships
and
Frigats
in
all
,
and
charged
through
their
whole
Fleet
;
when
it
beginning
to
grow
duskish
,
the
Masters
advised
the
General
not
to
stand
to
them
again
that
night
for
fear
of
the
Fire-ships
:
but
the
noble
General
turning
himself
with
indignation
towards
them
,
commanded
them
in
some
disgraceful
,
but
more
unproper
terms
,
that
they
should

said
He
,
The
very
Powder
of
the
Guns
of
this
Ship
is
able
to
blow
away
a
Fire-ship
from
it
;
and
so
they
tackt
about
,
and
through
the
Dutch
again
:
in
which
by
a
Ball
from
the
Enemy
(
both
Fleets
being
close
to
one
another
)
the
Mizen-shrouds
of
the
Resolution
were
fired
,
but
quickly
put
out
again
by
the
courageous
Activity
of
one
Captain
Ioseph
Taylor
,
then
assisting
and
standing
by
the
General
.
Nothing
of
more
remarque
was
done
that
night
,
save
that
the
Garland
with
the
Enemy
received
much
prejudice
,
being
known
and
saluted
by
every
ships
Broad-side
,
though
the
Dutch
had
altered
her
Decks
:
and
so
the
English
stood
to
the
Southward
,
and
Van
Trump
to
the
Northward
that
night
,
and
joyned
with
De
Wit
,
and
withal
got
the
Weather-gage
,
by
reason
his
sailing
Northwards
was
no
way
suspected
by
our
Fleet.
The
next
day
there
being
much
Windy
and
foul
Weather
,
both
Fleets
could
not
Engage
,
the
Sea
was
so
high
,
but
found
it
a
difficult
work
to
get
off
of
a
Lee-shore
,
which
was
so
much
the
worse
to
the
English
,
being
on
an
Enemies
Coast
;
but
a
most
gallant
delightful
sight
it
was
to
see
the
two
Fleets
so
neer
one
another
,
plying
their
Sails
,
fill'd
with
as
much
Revenge
and
desire
of
Engagement
,
as
with
those
envious
Gusts
that
kept
them
asunder
.
But
next
morning
being
Sunday
,
the
Weather
proving
fair
,
and
little
Wind
,
Iuly
31
,
both
Fleets
Engaged
again
in
a
most
terrible
Fight
;
the
Dutch
animated
with
the
equal
if
not
the
inclinable
success
of
Friday
,
and
the
English
loth
to
contest
so
long
for
a
resolved
Victory
,
as
if
three
days
were
always
to
be
the
apportioned
time
of
their
labour
in
Conquest
.
It
is
impossible
to
give
a
distinct
account
of
this
Battle
,
in
Fire
and
Smoak
,
Board
and
Board
,
for
eight
hours
together
incessant
.
The
Garland
was
the
first
disabled
,
and
the
Dutch
Fire-ships
notably
managed
their
business
:
the
Andrew
,
Victory
,
Triumph
,
and
Rainbow
,
the
great
ships
(
at
whom
the
Dutch
spight
was
greatest
)
being
so
endangered
,
that
out
of
the
Triumph
(
which
was
fired
by
one
of
them
)
several
of
the
ships
crue
threw
themselves
into
the
Sea
;
but
others
of
better
spirits
(
remaining
behinde
)
with
great
gallantry
quenched
the
Fire
,
and
gave
a
merry
occasion
of
a
Civil
Law
or
Admiralty-Controversie
,
Whether
the
Chests
,
Goods
,
and
Cloaths
(
which
those
that
stayed
in
the
ship
had
got
on
)
of
those
that
deserted
it
,
and
when
the
danger
of
the
Flame
was
past
got
in
again
,
should
belong
to
the
present
Possessor
,
who
refused
to
d'off
or
re-deliver
them
to
the
former
owner
,
who
was
much
troubled
to
see
other
men
in
his
Apparel
.
The
Victory
(
in
which
was
Captain
Lane
)
was
stoutly
beset
with
a
Vice-Admiral
and
two
other
Flemish
War-ships
,
and
so
distressed
,
that
another
Dutch
Vice-Admiral
(
in
an
East-India-ship
of
60
Guns
)
coming
up
by
her
Quarter
,
and
mistaking
the
Condition
as
well
as
Resolution
of
that
Captain
,
proffered
him
Quarter
,
and
bid
him
yield
;
which
was
answered
with
the
thanks
of
a
Broad-side
,
that
sunk
the
Dutch-man
immediately
by
his
side
.
No
less
gallant
service
did
the
Speaker-Frigat
,
so
well
known
to
the
Dutch
by
the
name
of
the
Prater
;
and
truly
there
was
nothing
but
the
antient
glory
&
right
of
the
English
to
be
Superiors
to
that
Nation
,
which
differenced
the
valour
of
both
;
since
had
the
Dutch
fought
upon
a
juster
Quarrel
,
Fortune
might
have
been
as
equal
.
Besides
,
the
Death
of
their
Admiral
(
the
brave
Van
Trump
)
in
the
beginning
of
the
Fight

by
the
shot
of
a
Musquet-bullet
in
his

slain
,
and

defeated

31.
mainly
contributed
to
their
Defeat
:
His
Flag
,
the
Original
of
the
War
,
was
strucken
with
a
shot
;
and
whether
they
would
not
,
(
for
a
signe
to
their
Fleet
to
revenge
his
Death
)
or
could
not
make
it
stand
,
there
was
no
such
Ensigne
the
greatest
part
of
the
Fight
;
which
having
continued
from
seven
in
the
morning
till
one
or
two
in
the
afternoon
,
the
Dutch
at
last
gave
out
and
fled
towards
the
Texel
,
having
but
one
Flag
standing
among
them
,
the
English
Frigats
pursuing
them
;
the
smalness
of
some
whereof
made
an
Admiral-ship
turn
the
Helm
,
and
stand
to
them
and
Engage
;
but
just
upon
his
Boarding
of
one
of
them
,
the
biggest
Frigats
came
in
and
took
the
Dutch-man
,
whose
Commanders
with
Lights
in
their
Poops
(
for
day
was
so
far
spent
in
the
Chace
)
recovered
the
Texel
;
and
the
English
not
daring
to
venture
too
far
upon
that
Coast
,
rode
some
●ix
Leagues
that
night
over
against
it
,
having
lost
two
ships
,
the
Oak
,
who
perished
by
fire
,
thrusting
her self
between
,
to
preserve
the
Rainbow
from
a
Fire-ship
;
and
the
Hunter-frigat
,
an
English
Fire-ship
,
who
attended
the
orders
of
the
Rear-Admiral
Lawson
,
whose
behaviour
this
day
,
also
of
Vice-Admiral
Pen
,
was
very
noble
and
Renowned
:
most
of
the
Fleet
were
maimed
in
their
Rigging
,
Shrouds
,
and
Masts
;
especially
the
Merchant-men
,
(
whose
Captains
having
withdrawn
themselves
formerly
from
the
brunt
of
the
Engagement
,
to
save
their
Owners
,
were
now
transferred
to
one
anothers
Commands
,
and
sought
here
stoutly
,
)
especially
the
May-flower
was
terribly
battered
,
and
hardly
able
to
keep
above
Water
:
but
the
greatest
loss
was
of
Commanders
,
whose
Names
and
their
respective
Ships
out
of
which
they
were
killed
and
wounded
,
were
as
followeth
.
The
Dutch
lost
,
and
had
Burnt
and
Sunk
26
Men
of
War
;
30
were
first
reckoned
,
but
two
of
that
number
got
into
the
Elbe
much
torn
,
and
two
into
Zealand
;
the
particulars
of
whose
Captains
taken
Prisoners
were
as
follows
;
the
rest
were
lost
beyond
our
research
,
for
the

A

on

,
managed
by
Owen

The
Dutch
had
given
their
Reward
before
,
having
ordered
1000
l.
besides
the
ship
and
furniture
,
to
those
that
should
take
the
chief
Admiral
,
other
Admirals
600
l.
their
Flag-ships
400
l.
and
100
l.
to
those
that
with
a
valiant
and
courageous
hand
should
take
down
the
Admiral
's
Flag
,
and
so
proportionably
;
but
none
of
these
Payments
were
ever
claimed
,
for
the
attempt
was
found
more
unfeasible
.
The
Dutch
got
upon
the
Steeples
at
the
Hague
,
and
other
high
places
about
Scheveling
,
and
saw
something
of
the
Fight
,
which
they
fancied
to
their
advantage
;
but
the
perfecter
fight
at
Amsterdam
undid
their
belief
:
notwithstanding
the
English
presently
leaving
their
Coast
,
heightned
them
to
a
vapour
,
that
it
was
an
equal
Combat
;
and
they
gave
it
out
accordingly
.
General
Monke
having
staid
12
Leagues
to
the
Westward
of
the
Texel
some
three
or
four
days
,
sailed
for
Soal-Bay
again
,
and
met
upon
the
English
Coast
with
a
terrible
Storm
,
to
the
endangering
the
Fleet
,
but
especially
such
ships
as
were
shattered
;
and
thence
some
while
after
sent
away
Vice-Admiral
Lawson
to
the
Coast
of
Holland
,
while
De
Wit
was
got
ready
,
and
to
Sea
and
home
again
,
with
a
Fleet
of
60
Sail
of
War
,
to
fetch
home
300
Merchant-men
from
the
Sound
,
De
Wit
conveys
a
great
Fleet
from
the
Sound
.
from
the
East-Indies
and
all
parts
of
the
World
,
(
the
Sound
being
the
appointed
Rendezvouz
of
them
all
)
and
brought
them
in
safety
home
,
to
the
no
little
rejoycing
and
Triumph
of
the
Dutch
Merchants
,
and
to
the
asswaging
the
publick
discontent
at
their
late
defeat
.
The
States
had
been
in
election
of
a
Lieutenant-Admiral
in
place
of
Van
Trump
,
and
at
last
agreed
upon
the
Lord
Opdam
,
Lord
Opdam
made
Lieutenant-Admiral
in
place
of
Van
Trump
,
who
was
Interred
at
Delf
in
great
State
.
one
that
had
been
a
Colonel
of
Horse
in
their
service
,
and
of
good
Conduct
and
personal
worth
,
whom
,
in
imitation
of
the
English
,
they
chose
to
this
Sea-employment
.
Trump's
Funerals
were
ordered
to
be
solemnized
in
the
beginning
of
September
,
when
he
was
Interred
at
Delf
in
great
State
,
becoming
so
great
a
Captain
,
the
honour
and
defence
of
his
Country
,
in
which
he
nobly
fell
.
A
person
of
great
affection
to
the
Family
and
person
of
our
King
,
and
very
much
an
English-man
in
all
things
but
his
Nativity
.
Of
such
an
interest
in
this
War
,
that
with
him
it
begun
,
and
with
him
expired
,
he
being
the
soul
that
actuated
it
throughout
.
In
his
glorious
Urn
we
will
deposite
therefore
this
History
and
Record
thereof
,
and
re-assume
the
mention
of
the
Dutch
in
more
friendly
and
amicable
language
:
but
it
is
very
necessary
to
look
first
homewards
,
and
retrospect
the
elaps'd
sitting
down
of
Oliver's
Juncto
at
Westminster
.
According
to
their
Summons
,
on
the
fourth
of
Iuly
,
Little
Parliament
met
July
4.
the
Members
of
approved
Fidelity
,
&c.
met
at
the
Council-chamber
in
White-hall
,
where
Cromwel
in
a
zealous
Speech
,
much
to
the
purpose
of
his
Declaration
,
and
the
occasion
of
the
present
meeting
,
stuft
with
various
citations
of
Scripture
(
I
am
loth
to
nauseate
the
Reader
with
any
more
of
his
Harangues
at
large
)
to
his
(
but
far
from
the
)
purpose
;
devolved
the
supreme
Trust
,
which
they
translated
into
more
common
English
,
adjourning
themselves
after
a
short
Consultation
to
Westminster
,
a●d
giving
themselves
the
Title
and
Authority
of
the
Parliament
of
England
,
voting
Mr.
Francis
Rouse
for
their
Speaker
;
but
with
a
Collateral
Vote
,
Mr.
Francis
Rouse
their
Speaker
.
that
he
should
continue
in
the
Chair
no
longer
than
for
a
Month.
They
were
persons
for
the
most
part
of
such
mean
and
ignore
extractions
,
that
so
far
were
they
from
being
taken
notice
of
by
the
Shires
each
of
whom
but
two
or
three
represented
▪
that
they
were
scarce
known
in
the
very
Towns
they
were
born
,
or
afterwards
inhabited
,
till
the
Excise
,
then
Committees
for
Sequestration
,
and
the
War
in
the
respective
Counties
,
made
them
infamously
known
.
The
rest
were
of
his
Partisans
in
the
Parliament
and
High
Court
of
Iustice
;
and
for
credit-sake
some
two
or
three
Fanatick-Noblemen
,
(
excepted
always
the
latent
honour
of
the
Renowned
Monke
,
Howard
,
and
Montague
)
and
some
Knights
,
and
amongst
them
,
for
honesty
sake
,
Sir
A.
Ashley
Cooper
;
though
for
all
those
Titles
and
Generosities
,
it
was
better
known
like
it self
by
the
Name
of
Barebone's
Parliament
,
Called
Barebone
's
Parliament
,
a
Leather-sellers
Name
in
Fleetstreet
,
one
of
the
said
Convention
.
whose
Christian-Name
was
Praise
God
,
a
Leather-seller
in
Fleetstreet
,
a
Brownist
,
or
such
kinde
of
Separatist
from
the
Church
of
England
,
long
before
the
War
,
and
now
a
Member
in
this
Convention
,
into
which
these
Evocati
had
adopted
Cromwel
,
Lambert
,
Harrison
,
Thomlinson
,
and
Desborough
;
because
forsooth
none
of
the
Army
would
intrude
;
and
generally
none
to
be
admitted
,
but
such
of
whom
this
House
should
be
satisfied
of
their
real
Godliness
;
and
this
by
a
preliminary
Vote
,
Iuly
5.
These
strangers
to
our
Israel

Proselytes
of
the
Good
Cause
,
and
Iewish
in
every
other
respect
,
since
they
obtained
the
Name
of

Such
an
Assembly
,
or
Trim
Tram
,
was
very
unlikely
to
settle
the
Nation
,
who
though
they
expected
all
mischief
imaginable
from
them
,
yet
could
not
forbear
with
the
Sun
in
a
Cloud
to
smile
at
their
ridiculous
unhappiness
.
Indeed
it
was
but
a
Cloud
,
for
it
soon
vanished
and
disappeared
at
the
storm
of
Oliver's
furious
Ambition
;
and
therefore
there
needs
not
much
more
to
be
said
of
it
,
than
Astrologers
do
of
Comets
and
Eclipses
,
who
reckon
onely
their
continuance
,
which
was
from
the
4
of
Iuly
,
to
the
12
of
December
,
in
which
these
angry
products
were
visible
.
First
,
an
Act
for
Marriages
by
a
Justice
of
Peace
,
Act
for
Marriages
.
(
having
been
in
debate
by
the
Long
Parliament
)
the
Banes
to
be
published
in
the
Market
three
several
days
,
and
the
words
of
that
Sacred
Ordinance
onely
inverted
,
and
the
fashion
changed
,
with
an
Appendix
concerning
Church-Registers
,
and
a
Proviso
that
no
other
Marriage
should
be
valid
and
Lawful
:
whereupon
all
civil
people
were
forced
to
be
twice
joyned
,
though
but
once
Married
.
Next
after
this
Matrimonial
Coupling
,
in
a
wilder
humour
they
fell
upon
a
Consultation
of
Repudiating
the
Body
of
the
Law
,
A
new
Body
of
the
Law
to
be
made
.
by
divorcing
it
from
the
People
,
and
a
new
Foundation
to
be
laid
,
and
Systems
of
their
own
projections
to
be
brought
in
the
place
of
it
;
and
these
were
to
be
adequated
to
the
measure
and
square
of
a
Fifth
Monarchy
,
and
those
Monstrous
absurdities
.
Then
in
order
thereunto
,
an
Act
was
hammering
for
abolishing
of
Tithes
,
ejecting
scandalous
Ministers
,
and
constituting
Commissioners
to
go
the
Circuit
to
enquire
and
visit
the
Parishes
:
and
most
of
their
Debates
were
spent
hereupon
.
And
lastly
,
in
preparation
to
Oliver's
designe
,
(
who
yet
managed
and
put
them
upon
those
enormous
Whimseys
,
to
the
making
them
most
odious
,
and
all
Parliame●ts
with
them
)
though
under
pretence
of
grievance
to
many
Godly
people
especially
,
and
the
whole
Nation
in
general
;
the
non-procedure
at
Law
without
subscribing
the
Engagement
,
was
taken
away
;
also
all
Fines
upon
Bills
,
Declarations
,
and
Original
Writs
,
were
taken
off
,
and
the
Chancery
very
neer
a
total
subversion
,
a
Bill
being
ready
to
that
purpose
.
Those
were
their
devices
as
to
the
Law
,
and
the
Regulation
of
Government
;
see
the
rest
to
the
maintenance
of
it
▪
and
the
carrying
on
of
the
Affairs
of
the
Commonwealth
,
as
their
Secretaries
t●●med
it
.
First
,
an
Act
was
framed
out
of
an
Ordinance
of
the
late
preceding
Council
of
State
,
for
a
Lottery
of
the
Rebels
Lands
in
Ireland
,
in
which
one
Methuselah
Turner
,
a
Linnen-draper
in
Cheapside
,
and
one
Brandriffe
a
Cloth-drawer
,
were
Named
Commissioners
,
and
had
already
sate
in
Grocers-Hall
,
with
such
other
most
incompetent
Judges
of
the
affair
:
In
this
Act
,
the
Rebellion
was
declared
to
be
at
an
end
,
An
Act
for
●●●●h
Adventurers
and
Allotments
.
and
that
the
several
Adventurers
and
Souldiers
for
their
Arrears
should
have
ten
Counties
set
out
and
assigned
for
their
satisfaction
;
and
if
that
should
not
satisfie
,
the
County
of
Louth
should
be
added
to
make
it
up
;
with
many
other
clauses
of
length
and
restriction
:
and
this
was
passed
as
an
Introduction
to
the
Grand
Grievance
of
Publick
Faith-money
,
undertaken
by
those
shrimps
,
which
was
able
to
crush
their
House
full
of
such
as
Hercules
;
but
it
was
well
applied
to
cajole
the
People
,
(
many
of
whom
had
been
very
forward
in
supplies
of
Money
to
the
Irish
war
)
and
the
Souldiers
there
,
that
were
to
be
made
firm
to
Cromwel's
Interest
,
by
such
obligations
of
Lands
and
Estates
.
A
new
Council
of
State
was
now
of
the
same
teeming
,
but
of
a
mightier
strain
;
Oliver
,
and
his
Grand
Officers
and
Partisans
entirely
constituting
it
,
not
a
puny
of
those
Dwarfish
Politicians
being
admitted
into
the
number
.
Those
Hogens
of
the
Council
did
all
the
business
,
transacted
with
Forrain
States
,
kept
the
Wheels
of
Government
on
going
here
and
abroad
,
received
Embassadors
,
particularly
the
Spanish
,
Dutch
,
and
French
Residents
,
and
a
new
one
from
the
Great
Duke
of
Florence
,
and
other
Princes
▪
and
put
upon
the
Parliament
all
their
Intrigues
and
ill-looked
necessities
of
Money
,
so
that
this
Convention
at
first
dash
ran
the
Tax
up
again
to
120000
l.
per
mensem
for
six
Months
;
as
if
Pluto
kept
Court
there
again
,
and
that
like
possessed
men
they
could
speak
nothing
else
but
that
and
Excise
,
now
continued
,
and
an
additional
Act
for
sales
of
Fee-farm
Rents
,
Forrest-lands
,
and
more
Delinquents
Estates
,
for
the
finishing
of
that
whole
affair
.
Whitlock
Embassador
to
Sweden
.
The
Lord
Whitlock
(
between
whom
and
the
Lord
Lisle
the
Embassie
of
Sweden
was
in
dispute
for
a
while
,
till
Cromwel
had
made
sure
of
Whitlock
)
was
now
recommended
to
the
Parliament
for
their
Approbation
and
Commission
to
proceed
in
his
Voyage
with
all
hast
,
to
pursue
those
designes
of
Agreement
which
had
been
layd
by
that
Queens
Embassadors
here
;
that
Kingdom
labouring
with
such
another
Change
,
in
some
manner
,
as
we
did
here
:
and
accordingly
he
was
dispatcht
,
and
his
Instructions
(
as
all
other
things
of
designe
and
consequence
)
referred
to
the
Council
of
State
.
He
departed
about
the
beginning
of
November
,
in
the
Phoenix
and
Elizabeth
Frigats
,
and
arrived
the
15
at
Go●tenburgh
in
that
Kingdom
,
with
a
Retinue
of
100
persons
very
gallant
,
with
a
suitable
state
of
Furniture
;
and
travelled
from
thence
in
very
ugly
way
,
and
base
Accommodation
,
(
no
Beds
being
to
be
had
for
Money
)
to
Vpsal
,
an
University
,
where
the
Queen
then
resided
,
because
of
the
Plague
at
Stockholme
,
the
chief
City
and
Metropolis
of
that
Kingdom
.
General
Blake
,
Monke
,
Desborough
,
and
Pen
,
were
commended
likewise
to
be
Generals
at
Sea
for
the
next
year
,
(
a
suitable
Change
with
that
inconstant
Element
)
and
approved
of
.
And
lastly
,
that
they
might
in
all
things
be
like
a
Parliament
,
and
alike
odious
to
all
people
;
and
that
the
Cavaliers
might
have
recent
cause
to
hate
them
,
a
High
Court
of
Iustice
was
Enacted
again
,
and
Lisle
made
President
:
for
Bradshaw
,
as
a
great
Commonwealths-man
,
and
Enemy
to
a
Single
Person
,
was
quite
lain
aside
.
This
is
the
sum
of
what
these
Sages
and
men
of
Fidelity
did
during
their
Session
,
A
Summary
of
what
the
Parliament
did
.
besides
their
Prayers
and
Preachments
in
the
House
,
so
that
from
the
something
Honourable
Stile
of
a
Convention
▪
it
raised
not
it self
above
the
Reputation
of
a
Conventicle
;
and
in
effect
,
the
Parliament
was
but
a
Sub-committee
,
that
truckled
under
the
Council
of
State
and
Oliver
for
their
occasions
,
and
Feake's
(
a
great
Fifth-Monarchy-Preacher
)
Congregation
held
at
Black-fryers
,
(
this
H●y
of
the
Commonwealth
being
betwixt
S●ylla
and
Charybdis
)
who
cut
out
every
days
work
for
the
House
;
the
very
last
knack
of
their
Legislative-power
being
a
Bill
formed
in
Paper
,
and
ready
drawn
to
the
last
Clause
,
(
and
would
have
presently
passed
)
for
the
perpetual
meetings
of
Parliament
one
upon
the
Dissolution
of
another
,
(
the
very
Coloquintida
of
their
Counsels
to
Oliver
)
and
that
the
people
should
be
judged
by
Committees
,
and
no
Courts
remain
at
Westminster
,
but
the
Mosaical
Law
should
take
place
;
Magistracy
and
Ministry
both
being
to
be
abolished
,
that
the
Saints
of
the
Earth
might
Rule
in
all
things
.
—
But
see
the
Evil
Spirit
laid
by
their
own
artful
Conjurer
.
On
the
12
of
December
,
Barebone
's
Parliament
dissolved
,
Dec.
12.
(
as
it
had
been
directed
by
the
Council
of
State
)
the
Parliament
being
sate
,
some
of
the
Members
stood
up
,
one
after
another
,
and
made
a
motion
for
a
Dissolution
thereof
,
for
that
it
would
not
be
for
the
good
of
the
Nations
to
continue
it
longer
:
this
Court-Air
almost
Blasted
the
Men
of
Fidelity
and
Committee-Blades
,
who
had
scarce
warmed
their
Fingers
ends
in
the
Government
,
and
were
newly
setling
themselves
and
their
Friends
in
a
thriving
way
,
as
they
had
done
in
their
Offices
they
had
passed
before
;
and
thereupon
they
began
one
after
another
to
make
Perorations
of
the
Cause
of
God
and
the
Godly
people
committed
to
their
charge
:
which
they
could
not
tell
how
to
answer
to
Him
,
if
so
easily
they
should
give
it
up
,
and
leave
the
Commonwealth
in
such
a
distraction
as
would
inevitably
ensue
:
and
Major-General
-
Harrison
,
Squib
's
,
and
Harrison
's
Speeches
upon
this
occasion
in
the
House
.
and
Arthur
Squib
(
the
great
Sequestrator
of
Haberdashers
Hall
)
were
very
copiously
zealous
in
defence
of
their
Authority
:
but
the
Military
or
Court-party
being
the
Major
part
,
not
thinking
them
worthy
of
a
dispute
or
longer
Debate
,
the
Speaker
being
of
their
side
,
rose
,
and
left
the
House
,
and
them
sitting
in
it
,
where
to
Prayers
they
went
,
and
then
resolved
to
continue
●itting
.
In
the
mean
time
Rous
the
Speaker
(
with
the
Mace
before
him
and
his
followers
)
came
to
White-hall
,
and
there
resigned
the
Instrument
he
gave
them
,
The
Speaker
resignes
the
Instrument
.
by
which
they
were
constituted
a
Parliament
;
and
gave
him
likewise
to
understand
and
how
they
had
left
their
Fellows
.
Their
Surrender
was
kindely
received
by
Oliver
,
and
they
thanked
for
the
pains
they
had
taken
in
the
service
of
the
Commonwealth
;
however
he
and
they
had
missed
of
their
intentions
of
the
good
should
thereby
have
come
to
the
Commonwealth
,
which
a
strange
spirit
,
and
perverse
principle
in
some
of
the
Members
had
solely
hindered
.
And
as
to
them
yet
sitting
in
the
Parliament-house
,
he
dispatcht
away
Lieutenant-Colonel
White
,
a
confident
of
his
,
to
dislodge
them
;
who
accordingly
with
a
guard
of
Red-coats
came
thither
,
and
entring
the
House
,
Commanded
them
in
the
Name
of
the
General
to
depart
,
for
that
the
Parliament
was
Dissolved
:
who
replying
to
the
contrary
,
and
telling
him
they
were
upon
Business
,
and
ought
not
to
be
thus
disturbed
;
he
asked
,
What
Business
?
they
answered
,
We
are
seeking
of
God
.
P●gh
,
saith
he
,
is
that
all
?
that
's
to
no
purpose
;
for
God
hath
not
been
within
these
Walls
these
twelve
years
.
And
so
fairly
compelled
them
out
,
muttering
with
the
same
wrath
,
and
sorrowful
look-backs
,
as
those
that
had
sate
30
times
the
same
term
,
and
could
almost
have
pleaded
prescription
.
Thus
was
the
Power
emptied
from
one
Vessel
to
another
,
as
the
Scribes
and
Chaplains
of
the
Grandees
phrased
it
;
and
could
finde
settlement
,
till
Oliver
was
called
to
it
by
his
Council
of
Officers
,
to
supply
this
Gap
in
Government
.
And
now
a
Single
Person
with
a
Council
is
the
onely
expedient
for
the
safety
of
the
People
,
for
that
there
is
no
Trust
nor
Truth
in
Parliaments
,
as
their
often
aberrations
and
failures
had
sufficiently
declared
:
and
it
was
dis●cursed
by
the
Abettors
of
this
Change
,
that
't
was
not
Monarchy
which
was
quarrelled
at
,
but
the
corruptions
and
abuses
of
it
,
in
its
unlimited
,
unbounded
Prerogative
;
all
which
would
be
avoided
,
by
the
circumscription
of
it
in
a
Protector
,
by
his
Council
,
and
a
new
Instrument
of
Government
,
and
the
Supreme
power
of
a
Trie●nial
Parliament
,
in
whom
during
their
Session
the
Soveraign
Authority
should
reside
.
So
they
said
,
and
so
they
did
:
for
after
four
days
time
(
in
which
Feak
and
his
Freaking
Partisans
were
almost
run
from
their
Wits
in
rage
and
madness
)
Cromwel
was
Appointed
and
Declared
for
Protector
of
this
Infant-Commonwealth
,
(
and
it
was
a
tedious
interval
to
him
:
)
the
Chancery-Court
at
Westminster-hall
being
prepared
for
the
Ceremony
of
the
Instalment
in
this
manner
,
after
the
usual
seeking
of
God
by
the
Officers
of
the
Army
.
The
Protector
Install's
,
Dec.
16.
The
Protector
about
one
of
the
clock
in
the
afternoon
came
from
White
hall
to
Westminster
to
the
Chancery-Court
,
attended
by
the
Lords
Commissioners
of
the
Great
Seal
of
England
,
Barons
of
the
Exch●quer
,
and
Judges
in
their
Robes
;
after
them
,
the
Council
of
the
Commonwealth
,
and
the
Lord
Mayor
,
Aldermen
,
and
Recorder
of
the
City
of
London
,
in
their
Scarlet
Gowns
:
then
came
the
Protector
attended
with
many
of
the
chief
Officers
of
the
Army
.
A
Chair
of
State
being
set
in
the
said
Court
of
Chancery
,
the
Protector
stood
on
the
left
hand
thereof
uncovered
,
till
a
large
Writing
in
Parchment
(
in
the
manner
of
an
Oath
)
was
read
;
there
being
the
power
with
which
the
Protector
was
Invested
,
and
how
the
Protector
is
to
Govern
the
three
Nations
:
which
the
Protector
accepted
of
,
and
subscribed
in
the
face
of
the
Court
,
and
immediately
hereupon
sate
down
covered
in
the
Chair
.
The
Lords
Commissioners
then
delivered
up
the
Great
Seal
of
England
to
the
Protector
,
and
the
Lord
Mayor
his
Sword
and
Cap
of
Maintenance
;
all
which
the
Protector
returned
immediately
to
them
again
.
The
Court
then
rose
,
and
the
Protector
was
attended
back
as
aforesaid
,
to
the
Banqueting-house
in
White-hall
,
the
Lord
Mayor
himself
uncovered
,
carrying
the
Sword
before
the
Protector
all
the
way
:
and
coming
into
the
Banqueting-house
,
an
Exhortation
was
made
by
Mr.
Lockyer
;
after
which
,
the
Lord
Mayor
,
Aldermen
,
and
Judges
departed
.
The
Instrument
or
Module
framed
to
be
the
Foundation
of
this
present
Government
,
was
chiefly
made
up
of
these
following
Heads
.
The
heads
of
the
Module
of
Government
.
1.
The
Protector
should
call
a
Parliament
every
three
years
.
2.
That
the
first
should
Assemble
on
the
third
of
September
,
1654.
3.
That
he
would
not
Dissolve
the
Parliament
till
it
had
sat
five
Months
.
4.
That
such
Bills
as
they
offered
to
him
,
he
not
Passing
them
in
twenty
days
,
should
Pass
without
him
.
5.
That
he
should
have
a
select
Council
,
not
exceeding
one
and
twenty
,
nor
under
thirteen
.
6.
That
immediately
after
his
Death
,
the
Council
should
chuse
another
Protector
before
they
rose
.
7.
That
no
Protector
after
him
should
be
General
of
the
Army
.
8.
That
the
Protector
should
have
power
to
make
Peace
or
War
.
9.
That
in
the
Intervals
of
Parliament
,
he
and
his
Council
might
make
Laws
that
should
be
binding
to
the
Subjects
,
&c.
With
some
other
popular
Lurdes
and
common
incidencies
of
Government
,
not
worth
the
recital
,
which
were
confirmed
and
strenuously
validated
by
this
his
Oath
.
The
Protector
's
Oath
.
I
Promise
in
the
presence
of
God
,
not
to
violate
or
infringe
the
matters
and
things
contained
in
the
Instrument
;
but
to
observe
,
and
cause
the
same
to
be
observed
;
and
in
all
things
to
the
best
of
my
understanding
,
govern
the
Nations
according
to
the
Laws
,
Statutes
,
and
Customs
;
to
seek
their
Peace
,
and
cause
Justice
and
Law
to
be
equally
administred
.
The
Feat
needed
no
more
security
,
as
good
altogether
as
its
Authority
,
in
this
fo●lowing
Proclamation
,
which
was
published
throughout
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
in
these
words
.
Whereas
the
late
Parliament
Dissolved
themselves
,
The
Proclamation
of
the
Protector
.
and
resigning
their
Powers
Authorities
,
the
Government
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
in
a
Lord
Protector
,
and
successive
Triennial
Parliaments
,
is
now
established
.
And
whereas
Oliver
Cromwel
,
Captain-General
of
all
the
Forces
of
this
Common-wealth
is
declared
Lord
Protector
of
the
said
Nations
,
and
hath
accepted
thereof
:
We
have
therefore
thought
it
necessary
(
as
we
hereby
do
)
to
make
publication
of
the
Premises
,
and
strictly
to
charge
and
command
all
and
every
person
or
persons
,
of
what
quality
and
condition
soever
,
in
any
of
the
said
three
Nations
,
to
take
notice
hereof
,
and
to
conform
and
submit
themselves
to
the
Government
so
established
.
And
all
Sheriffs
,
Mayors
,
Bayliffs
,
&c.
are
required
to
publish
this
Proclamation
;
to
the
end
none
may
have
cause
to
pretend
Ignorance
in
this
behalf
.
Great
shooting
off
Guns
at
night
,
and
Vollies
of
acclamations
,
were
given
at
the
close
of
this
mock-solemnity
,
by
Cromwel's
Janizaries
,
while
the
Royalists
were
more
joyfully
disposed
at
the
hopes
of
the
King's
Affairs
;
but
no
body
of
any
account
giving
the
Usurper
a
good
word
or
miskiditchee
with
his
Greatness
,
save
what
was
uttered
in
Fur
by
the
Lord
Mayor
and
the
Complices
in
this
Fact
,
who
tickled
his
Ears
with
the
Eccho
of
the
Proclamation
done
with
the
usual
Formalities
.
These
Triumphs
so
disgusted
Harrison
,
Major-Gen
.
Harrison
,
and
other
Colonels
disgust
the
Usurper
.
(
as
also
Colonel
Rich
)
that
he
withdrew
himself
from
the
Gang
,
and
turned
publick
Preacher
or
Railer
against
his
Comrade
Oliver
,
who
was
glad
to
be
rid
of
such
a
busie
and
impertinent
Assistant
in
the
moduling
of
Government
.
So
Cromwel
had
now
two
Commonwealth
contra-divided
Factions
against
him
,
the
old
and
the
new
Parliaments
;
and
therefore
it
neerly
concerned
him
to
make
much
of
the
Anabaptist
and
Sectary
,
The
Anabaptists
and
Sectaries
favoured
by
the
Protector
.
which
now
succeeded
Independency
as
the
Religion
maintained
and
favoured
above
all
other
;
and
Kiffin
a
great
Leader
and
Teacher
was
now
in
great
request
at
the
Court
at
White-hall
,
and
contrarily
Sir
Henry
Vane
jun.
was
looked
on
a-skue
,
as
also
Sir
Ar.
Hazilrig
,
and
Bradshaw
,
and
Scot.
And
so
the
Babel-builders
were
confounded
one
amongst
another
.
The
Council
appointed
by
Officers

or
taken
rather
by
himself
,
by

advice
he
was

By
these
another
Proclamation
came
out
,
enabling
all
Officers
,
Sheriffs
,
and
Justices
of
the
Peace
to
continue
in
their
respective
places
:
The
Dutch
Embassadors
have
Audience
.
and
Audience
and
Conference
was
given
to
the
Dutch
Embassadors
,
who
besides
their
last
loss
by
Fight
,
had
suffered
very
greatly
by
the
same
storm
that
endangered
our
Fleet
,
as
De
Wit
was
returning
from
the
Sound
;
which
made
them
ply
hard
for
a
Cessation
,
in
order
to
a
speedy
Peace
:
And
General
Monke
was
now
riding
at
St.
Hellens-point
,
by
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
with
a
considerable
Fleet
:
Col.
Lilburn
chief
Commander
in
Scotland
.
Colonel
Lilburn
was
likewise
ordered
to
Command
in
chief
the
Forces
of
Scotland
,
who
had
defeated
the
Earl
of
Kinoule
and
his
party
;
and
Sir
Arthur
Forbes
(
another
Chieftain
of
the
Royal
party
)
was
routed
neer
Dumfrieze
,
He
defeats
the
Royalists
.
and
himself
desperately
wounded
,
while
the
main
Army
Quartered
in
Murrey-land
,
and
thence
to
Elgin
;
Colonel
Morgan
being
sent
to
attend
their
motion
.
The
Noble
Wogan
,
Col.
Wogan
slain
.
who
from
France
had
by
the
way
of
Durham
and
Barwick
,
and
through
a
Fayr
in
open
day
,
marched
into
Scotland
,
and
had
joyned
with
those
Scotch
Royalists
,
and
done
excellent
service
in
beating
up
of
Quarters
,
and
attempting
them
in
all
their
marches
and
advances
,
came
now
at
last
to
his
End
;
Providence
having
reserved
this
honourable
Destiny
for
him
,
that
he
alone
of
all
the
English
of
Note
,
should
fall
in
his
Majesties
last
Quarrel
in
the
Kingdom
of
Scotland
,
the
manner
thus
.
Being
abroad
with
his
party
of
some
60
English
,
he
met
with
Captain
Elsenore's
Lieutenant
,
ranging
upon
the
same
adventure
,
with
some
more
than
his
number
,
neer
Drummond
and
Weems
,
and
fell
upon
him
;
and
after
a
very
sharp
and
stout
Conflict
(
for
they
were
Armed
with
Back
and
Brest
,
and
were
Veteran●
Blades
,
and
never
fled
before
)
routed
them
,
but
was
Wounded
himself
with
a
Tuck
,
whereof
not
long
after
he
died
,
and
was
buried
in
great
State
,
and
much
lamentation
,
with
a
Military
Funeral
in
the
Church
of
Kenmore
;
and
Captain
Ker
a
valiant
Scot
was
killed
with
him
:
the
said
Lieutenant
was
killed
also
upon
the
place
,
with
30
of
his
men
,
to
accompany
the
fate
of
this
Noble
person
;
so
that
he
fell
not
unrevenged
.
Great
indignation
there
was
against
Robinson
the
Surgeon
that
Drest
him
,
for
his
neglect
of
him
,
the
Earl
of
Athol
having
threatned
to
kill
him
;
so
dearly
was
this
Heroe
beloved
by
that
Nation
,
who
constantly
envied
the
worth
and
gallantry
of
ours
.
And
here
we
must
leave
him
till
some
grateful
Learned
Muse
shall
sing
the
Honorable
Atchievements
,
and
most
laudable
high
actions
of
this
famous
and
renowned
Captain
.
Mortogh
O
Brian
,
the
onely
remaining
General
of
the
remnant
of
Irish
in
Arms
,
had
lately
fallen
into
the
Quarters
,
and
defeated
several
parties
,
and
took
some
small
places
;
but
upon
the
approach
of
a
Body
of
English
,
retreated
again
to
his
Fastnesses
,
where
he
better
bethought
himself
of
his
sculking
condition
;
and
therefore
sent
and
obtained
the
usual
Articles
of
Transportation
;
Mortogh
O
Brian
submits
,
March
.
there
being
reckoned
now
above
27000
men
that
had
departed
that
Kingdom
within
a
year
:
and
the
transplantation
of
most
of
the
rest
into
Connaught
,
(
a
Province
environed
on
one
side
by
the
Sea
,
and
lockt
up
by
Rivers
and
Garrisons
on
the
other
,
for
the
security
of
the
Peace
,
and
enjoyment
of
English
Lands
and
Estates
in
other
Counties
)
had
so
dispeopled
that
Kingdom
,
that
the
Commissioners
there
,
and
their
Commander
Fleetwood
,
sent
over
Letters
,
desiring
some
Colonies
of
English
to
be
sent
over
to
them
;
very
good
Conditions
being
offered
such
as
would
Transport
themselves
:
The
chief
Towns
of
Limerick
,
Galloway
,
and
Waterford
,
to
enjoy
the
like
Priviledges
with
Bristol
,
&c.
and
Cromwel
failed
not
to
confirm
Mannours
and
Hereditaments
upon
his
Confiding
Creatures
there
,
who
were
very
industrious
to
procure
Tenants
and
Inhabitants
to
make
Rent
for
them
,
with
the
same
Expedition
as
he
himself
would
here
have
sold
the
Forrest-lands
,
now
ready
for
a
Purchase
.
The
King
was
yet
at
Paris
,
having
lately
received
a
considerable
sum
of
Money
from
Germany
,
where
the
Lord
of
Rochester
continued
at
the
Diet
,
and
promises
from
the
Emperour
of
his
appearing
in
his
behalf
,
and
of
Engaging
the
other
Princes
with
him
,
upon
his
declaring
for
his
Interest
at
the
same
Diet.
The
French
King
was
yet
very
uncertain
how
to
carry
himself
in
that
Affair
,
it
being
yet
doubtful
whether
the
Spaniard
or
he
should
first
be
Leagued
to
Cromwel
;
and
some
suspition
there
was
of
his
Rupture
with
him
first
,
as
lying
most
opportune
for
his
Arms
,
and
most
aimed
at
,
because
of
his
Relation
to
the
King
;
and
therefore
underhand
he
gave
the
King
assurance
of
his
inviolable
respects
to
him
,
and
laboured
by
all
means
to
stave
off
the
Dutch
from
an
Agreement
,
offering
them
very
largely
:
but
by
the
sagacious
policy
of
Cardinal
Mazarine
,
Cromwel
was
inclined
to
Friendship
with
the
French
;
and
the
King
being
sensible
whereto
that
would
tend
,
Cromwel
inclined
to
Friendship
with
the
French
.
resolved
to
depart
.
There
was
notwithstanding
a
kinde
of
Pyratical
War
excercised
by
the
French
,
and
some
English
and
Irish
,
upon
the
Western
Trade
,
by
some
15
sail
of
little
Men
of
War
,
The
Frigats
at
Brest
rove
at
Sea
.
who
harboured
on
the
Coast
of
Britany
,
in
Brest
,
and
thereabouts
,
and
did
very
much
mischief
;
the
chief
and
Admiral
of
whom
,
was
one
Captain
Beach
,
in
the
Royal
Iames
,
of
38
Guns
,
whom
at
last
the
Constant
Warwick
met
with
.
(
other
Friga●s
plying
up
and
down
to
free
the
Channel
)
and
after
a
long
fight
forced
to
yield
.
Beach
coming
aboard
demanded
his
Articles
of
being
set
ashore
in
France
.
Captain
Potter
denied
any
such
;
and
if
he
did
not
like
the
Terms
he
had
given
,
he
bid
him
go
abord
his
own
ship
again
with
his
men
,
and
right
for
better
:
which
Beach
seeing
the
bravery
of
the
man
,
refused
,
and
was
brought
Prisoner
to
Plymouth
,
and
so
that
Nest
was
broken
.
Cromwel
now
supplied
the
Benches
of
the
Courts
at
Westminster
with
the
ablest
of
the
Lawyers
,
Serjeants
at
Law
made
.
whom
he
had
invited
to
the
publick
service
:
and
Mr.
Maynard
,
Twisden
,
Nudigate
,
Hugh
Windham
,
were
made
Serjeants
,
and
Mr.
Hales
one
of
the
Justices
of
the
Common-Pleas
,
where
Saint
Iohn
y●t
sate
,
and
of
the
Cabinet
to
this
Protector
besides
;
having
pre●erred
his
Man
Thurloe
(
his
Secretary
at
the
Hague
)
to
be
his
Secretary
of
State
;
the
Candle
or
Light
of
that
Dark-Lanthorn
,
which
Saint
Iohn
was
said
to
be
in
these
mysterious
times
to
Cromwel
,
in
all
his
attempts
and
designes
of
consequence
and
moment
.
Colonel
Mackworth
the
Governour
of
Shrewsbury
was
called
now
to
the
Council
,
and
to
partake
of
the
Cabal
of
the
Usurpation
,
as
a
person
of
fit
Interest
and
principles
to
strengthen
it
:
And
the
Dutch
Peace
now
concluded
on
by
their
Embassadors
,
and
the
Commissioners
of
the
said
Council
for
the
Protector
,
between
whom
this
private
Article
was
agreed
,
That
the
Prince
of
Aurange
should
never
be
restored
to
the
Dignities
,
Offices
,
and
Charge
his
Ancestors
held
and
enjoyed
:
and
this
was
urged
,
for
the
better
Conservation
of
the
peace
,
which
would
in
his
restitution
be
endangered
,
because
of
his
Relation
to
the
King
.
This
was
ill
resented
by
the
other
six
Provinces
;
but
Holland
,
whose
Interest
was
to
have
a
Peace
,
and
who
paid
more
than
half
of
the
publick
charge
,
stood
to
it
,
alledging
there
could
no
Peace
be
made
without
it
:
The
rest
of
the
Articles
,
save
the
restoring
of
the
Ships
and
Goods
detained
by
the
King
of
Denmark
,
or
140000
l.
in
lieu
of
them
,
and
taking
that
King
into
this
Treaty
,
according
as
the
Hollander
had
engaged
to
the
Dane
,
and
paying
the
damages
of
the
War
,
and
giving
reparation
for
all
private
injuries
,
(
Amboyna-business
being
an
express
Article
of
it self
,
and
the
Massacrers
to
be
punished
if
living
)
were
usual
and
of
course
;
save
also
that
the
Right
of
the
Flag
was
acknowledged
and
Articled
to
be
given
to
the
English
in
all
Rencounters
;
and
Mr.
Thompson
,
Mr.
Winslow
,
and
Mr.
Russel
,
and
others
of
this
side
,
were
appointed
Arbitrators
of
the
said
differences
,
and
about
the
ships
kept
by
the
Dane
.
Crom●el
was
the
willinger
to
conclude
this
Peace
,
by
reason
of
his
new
settlement
in
the
Throne
;
and
the
Dutch
Friendship
was
very
necessary
for
his
establishment
;
besides
,
the
Money
was
very
welcome
:
both
of
them
added
reputation
to
him
,
though
the
Wiser
sort
knew
and
discoursed
that
he
might
have
brought
the
Dutch
to
any
thing
.
The
Dutch
Peace
.
The
Peace
,
though
now
concluded
,
was
not
ratified
and
proclaimed
till
April
,
after
the
arrival
of
the
Embassadors
Newport
and
Youngstal
,
in
March
,
towards
the
end
of
this
year
,
when
it
was
done
with
great
Solemnity
;
especially
the
Dutch
here
were
very
magnificent
in
Treatments
,
and
Fireworks
set
up
in
the
nature
of
Beacons
in
the
Thames
neer
their
House
.
The
Protector
Dined
in
great
State
upon
an
Invitation
from
the
Lord
Mayor
,
&c.
at
Grocers-Hall
,
the
eighth
of
February
,
being
Ash-Wednesday
,
a
very
unsuitable
day
for
any
Festival
but
his
entertainment
,
who
inverted
all
things
,
the
streets
being
railed
from
Temple-Bar
thither
,
the
Liveries
in
their
Gowns
in
their
Gradual
standings
there
:
he
was
met
at
the
said
Gate
by
Alderman
Viner
the
Lord
Mayor
,
who
delivered
him
the
Sword
there
,
and
having
received
it
from
him
back
again
,
bore
it
on
Horse-back
before
him
all
the
way
;
through
which
the
●ame
silence
was
kept
,
as
if
a
Funeral
had
been
en
passant
:
and
no
doubt
,
it
was
that
muteness
which
Tacitus
mentioned
in
Tiberius
,
quale
magn●
Ire
vel
magni
Metus
est
silentium
;
no
apprecations
,
or
so
much
as
a
How

being
given
during
the
whole
Cavalcade
.

▪
After
Dinner
,
he
was
served
with
a
Banquet
,
in
the
conclusion
whereof
he
Knighted
Alderman
Viner
,
and
would
have
done
the
same
to
the
Recorder
Steel
,
for
his
learned
Speech
of
Government
,
calculated
and
measured
for
him
;
but
he
for
some
reasons
avoided
it
;
the
Lord
Mayor
was
forced
to
carry
it
home
,
and
anger
his
Wife
with
it
,
who
had
real
honour
both
in
her
Name
and
Nature
.
Oliver
at
his
return
had
the
second
course
of
a
Brick-bat
,
A
Brick-bat
flung
at
the
Protectors
Coach
.
from
the
top
of
a
House
in
the
Strand
by
St.
Clements
,
which
light
upon
his
Coach
,
and
almost
spoiled
his
digestion
with
the
daringness
of
the
Affront
.
Search
was
made
,
but
in
vain
;
the
person
could
not
be
found
,
and
Vengeance
was
not
yet
from
Heaven
to
rain
upon
him
.
General
Middleton
now
landed
at
Vney-Ferry
in
the
Highlands
with
two
Vessels
from
Holland
,
with
the
Lord
Napier
,
Sir
George
Monro
,
Major-General
Dalyel
,
Colonel
Lod●wick
Drummond
,
and
some
200
more
,
in
March
,
with
some
Arms
,
with
a
Commission
to
Command
in
chief
all
his
Majesties
Forces
in
that
Kingdom
,
who
under
the
Command
of
the
Earls
of
Glencarn
,
Athol
,
Seaforth
,
and
Kenmore
,
being
followed
and
attended
by
Colonel
Morgan
,
had
marched
up
and
down
from
Eglin
into
Ross
,
and
had
lately
been
met
withal
at
Cromar
,
where
they
lost
after
a
short
dispute
some
140
killed
and
taken
;
and
presently
the
Garrison
of
Kildrumny
the
Lord
of
Athol's
house
rendered
to
Morgan
,
and
Colonel
Cotterel
was
sent
to
follow
the
Enemy
,
whose
purpose
was
to

English

uncouth
and
weary
marches

till
Middleton
came
,
whose
additional
strength
signifying
little

(
besides
the
Kings
Authority
in
so
eminent
a
person
and
Office
now
amongst
them
)
and
General
Monke
being
sent
from
London
to

for
Oliver
,
Gen.
Monke
sent
by
the
Protector
to
Scotland
,
to
command
in

▪
their
condition
was
little
better
than
before
;
Colonel
Brayn
being
likewise
ordered
into
the
Highlands
with
2000
Foot
by
Sea
from
Ireland
,
to
surround
them
in
on
all
sides
,
and
hem
them
in
to
an
Engagement
.
A
Plot.
At
home
(
prevention
being
Oliver's
best
State-physick
)
a
Plot
was
started
in
February
,
and
a
great
many
committed
to
the
Tower
;
the
chief
whereof
were
Colonel
Sir
Gilbert
Gerrard
,
Col.
Gerrard
,
&c.
seized
,
Feb.
Colonel
Iohn
Gerrard
his
Brother
,
one
Iones
,
and
Tudor
an
Apothecary
;
and
afterwards
Somerset
Fox
,
young
Mr.
Charles
Gerrard
another
Brother
;
and
lastly
,
Mr.
Iohn
and
William
Ashburnham
,
Mr.
Vowel
a
School-master
at
Islington
;
the
Earl
of
Oxford
,
Mr.
Philip
Porter
,
Mr.
Finch
,
Mr.
Wiseman
,
Mr.
Bayly
,
and
Sir
Richard
Willis
,
who
to
keep
himself
unsuspected
of
Intelligence
,
now
and
ever
after
,
was
sure
to
make
one
of
the
number
of
those
in
Custody
.
The
Plot
was
said
to
be
,
by
him
that
best
understood
it
,
to
be
an
Assassinate
upon
Oliver's
person
,
though
most
rationally
refuted
by
those
who
were
tried
about
it
.
Tuder
attending
his
Examination
at
White-hall
,
pretending
to
ease
himself
,
escaped
down
the
House
of
Office
,
and
got
away
;
but
was
afterwards
retaken
in
Norfolk
and
re-committed
,
but
never
Arraigned
.
The
rest
of
them
were
kept
in
custody
,
till
a
High
Court
of
Iustice
was
erected
of
the
old
stamp
to
try
them
.
This
was
one
of
the
first
acts
of
Cromwel's
Tyranny
,
with
which
he
exercised
the
Royal
party
throughout
his
Domination
;
and
most
necessary
to
his
security
,
as
a
main
principle
of
Government
,
according
to
the
policy
of
such
wretched
Times
.
Cromwel
sends
his
Son
Henry
into
Ireland
.
The
Protector
now
sent
his
Son
Henry
Cromwel
into
Ireland
,
to
shew
himself
there
in
State
against
his
approaching
Viceroy-ship
there
;
whence
the
Lord
Broghil
,
and
Colonel
Rich.
Coot
were
sent
with
Addresses
to
him
from
that
Kingdom
,
the
like
about
the
same
time
from
Coventry
,
being
a
most
zealous
Complement
.
General
Monke
was
likewise
sent
as
aforesaid
into
Scotland
;
so
that
he
had
made
sure
of
the
three
Nations
:
and
that
no
Enemy
of
his
might
remain
in
any
place
of
Trust
,
Cromwel
ensures
himself
.
Command
,
or
Judicature
,
the
Chancellorship
of
the
Dutchy
of
Lancashire
was
taken
from
Bradshaw
,
and
by
Ordinance
transferred
to
Thomas
Fell
,
and
the
Seal
likewise
given
him
:
yet
Richard
Bradshaw
was
graced
with
the
Title
of
Oliver's
Resident
at
Hamburgh
,
as
he
was
before
,
because
there
were
no
Candidates
for
the
place
.
The
Lord
Embassador
Whitlock
likewise
owned
Him
to
the
Queen
of
Sweden
,
Whitlock
Embassador
to
Sweden
owns
the
Protector
.
with
the
Title
of
His
most
Serene
Highness
my
Master
;
having
staid
there
all
that
Winter
to
conclude
that
Treaty
,
which
depended
upon
the
Dutch
here
,
and
was
made
up
after
,
for
the
Swede
would
be
governed
solely
by
that
;
the
Agent
or
Embassador
of
the
Country
of
Switzerland
,
Myn
Here
Stockhart
,
to
whom
the
Umpirage
between
the
Dutch
and
the
English
was
committed
,
took
leave
of
his
said
Highness
,
and
departed
by
the
way
of
Holland
,
where
he
proffered
his
Superiours
best
endeavour
between
them
both
.
Monsieur
Burdeaux
appeared
in
March
,
Monsieur
Burdeaux
Embassador
in
Ordinary
to
the
Protector
.
in
the
quality
of
an
Embassador
in
Ordinary
to
the
Protector
,
and
Sir
Anthony
Ashly
Cooper
,
Colonel
Sydenham
,
and
Mr.
Strickland
,
were
appointed
Commissioners
to
confer
with
him
.
In
such
a
fair
way
was
Cromwel
already
of
fixing
his
Soveraignty
,
and
being
accepted
for
a
Prince
abroad
and
at
home
;
but
as
the
French
insinuated
into
his
Friendship
,
the
Spaniard
abated
in
it
,
and
Mazarine
was
the
onely
Privado
and
confident
Friend
.
An
Ordinance
passed
for
continuance
of
the
Imposition
on
Sea-coal
for
the
use
of
the
Navy
.
The
year
ends
with
another
Ordinance
for
the
tryal
and
approbation
of
Ministers
,
wherein
Philip
Nye
,
Commissioners
,
Nye
,
&c.
for
approbation
of
Ministers
,
March
.
Goodwyn
,
Hugh
Peters
,
Mr.
Manton
and
others
,
were
named
Commissioners
.
The
Question
these
men
put
to
the
Examinants
,
was
not
of
abilities
or
Learning
,
but
Grace
in
their
Hearts
;
and
that
with
so
bold
and
saucy
inquisition
,
that
some
mens
Spirits
trembled
at
their
interrogatories
;
they
phrasing
it
so
,
as
if
(
as
was
said
of
the
Council
of
Trent
)
they
had
the
Holy
Ghost
in
a
Cloak-bag
,
or
were
rather
Simon
Magus
his
own
Disciples
:
and
certainly
there
were
never
such
Simoniacks
in
the
World
;
not
a
Living
of
value
,
but
what
a
Friend
or
the
best
Purchaser
was
admitted
into
,
to
which
Humane
Learning
(
even
where
a
former
Right
was
)
was
a
good
and
sufficient
Bar
;
no
less
to
the
Ruine
than
the
Scandal
of
the
Church
of
England
,
and
the
Protestant
Religion
and
professors
thereof
:
several
ignorant
bold
Laicks
being
inducted
into
the
best
Spiritualities
,
as
best
consisted
with
Oliver's
Interest
,
which
depended
upon
the
Sectaries
,
and
their
hideous
divisions
in
Religion
.
Anno
Dom.
1654.
HAving
thus
described
the
Foundation
of
this
Stratocracy
or
Army-power
,
we
shall
not
be
obliged
to
any
tedious
survey
of
the
superstructure
,
which
was
onely
for
shew
,
and
of
little
duration
,
supported
with
temporary
shifting
Props
in
every
emergency
;
for
this
great
one
rather
inhabited
a
Labyrinth
,
than
a
Court
;
which
shewed
much
variety
of
Art
,
but
like
a
House
of
Cards
was
ready
to
be
whelmed
over
his
Head
with
every
gust
of
adverse
Fortune
:
a
cross
Restive
Government
he
had
of
it
,
and
was
never
able
to
keep
it
in
the
right
Road
,
and
true
way
of
policy
.
And
so
we
proceed
in
a
brief
account
of
State-Occurrences
.
The
6
of
April
came
forth
an
Ordinance
settling
Commissioners
for
Probation
of
Wills
,
and
Administrations
,
&c.
by
want
of
which
power
,
there
having
been
no
settled
Judge
of
the
Prerogative-Court
,
(
whose
Name
abolished
the
thing
)
very
great
and
many
inconveniencies
had
happened
to
the
Nation
.
Another
Ordinance
prohibited
Cock-matches
,
Cock-matches
,
and
Horse-races
prohibited
,
and
all
such
concourses
of
people
.
and
Horse-races
,
and
all
such
confluxes
or
meetings
of
people
:
for
a
Plot
was
now
a
hatching
at
White-hall
,
and
this
was
the
first
overt-signe
of
it
.
Next
,
the
Commission
of
the
Great
Seal
was
altered
,
and
Whitlock
,
Lisle
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Widdrington
were
made
Commissioners
.
A
Prohibition
by
another
Ordinance
to
the
Committee
at
Salters
Hall
concerning
Prisoners
,
The
Commission
of
the
Great
Seal
altered
.
which
were
selling
of
Estates
,
though
never
so
barred
by
Law
,
to
satisfie
the
Creditors
;
which
would
have
made
a
quick
confusion
of
Propriety
:
Hannah
Trapnel
a
Quaking
Prophetess
secured
.
And
the
Dutch
Peace
(
the
charge
of
the
War
being
now
paid
by
that
State
,
according
to
private
agreement
of
the
sum
)
was
fully
concluded
,
and
in
April
Proclaimed
.
A
Quaking
Prophetess
,
named
Hannah
Trapnel
,
a
forerunner
of
Iames
Naylor
,
now
appeared
,
who
reported
her
Visions
and
Raptures
,
and
was
attended
by
several
of
the
Grandees
of
the
male-contented
party
,
as
Carew
and
others
:
the
most
of
her
delusions
she
acted
in
the
Counties
of
Devonshire
and
Cornwal
,
till
she
was
with
some
of
her
Partizans
secured
in
Prison
.
The
Scotch
Affairs
were
reputed
finished
,
as
to
any
War
,
though
the
Bustle
yet
so
held
and
encreased
in
the
Highlands
,
that
the
spoils
of
the
Conquest
were
now
set
out
,
and
made
accomptable
to
the
Victor
.
The
Lords
Estates
and
Hereditaments
of
the
Scotch
Nobility
and
Gentry
who
Invaded
England
under
Duke
Hamilton
,
and
came
in
with
the
King
to
Worcester
,
and
were
yet
in
Arms
,
Scotch
Estates
sold.
were
ordered
to
be
sold
;
and
to
that
purpose
were
invested
in
the
Trust
of
Sir
William
Hope
,
Lockhart
,
Sir
Richard
Saltonstall
,
Lieutenant-Colonel
Wilks
,
and
others
,
and
were
actually
seized
into
their
hands
;
and
the
rest
of
them
were
Fined
in
several
sums
of
Money
,
to
be
paid
within
six
Months
;
some
2000
l.
some
5000
l.
some
few
10000
l.
but
none
under
1000
l.
amounting
to
a
greater
mass
of
silver
than
Scotland
was
worth
in
ready
Cash
▪
so
that
those
who
were
compell'd
to
obey
,
(
though
many
complemental
and
humble
applications
and
addresses
(
as
is
customary
to
that
Nation
)
were
made
for
mitigation
)
were
forced
to
take
up
Money
at
unreasonable
Interest
;
which
rose
at
last
by
the
like
occasions
to
30
in
the
hundred
.
An
Ordinance
passed
with
this
,
for
uniting
of
Scotland
into
one
Commonwealth
with
England
,
(
it
seems
the
Act
of
Parliament
to
the
same
purpose
was
not
sufficient
)
and
the
Arms
thereof
ordered
to
be
quartered
,
as
were
the
Irish
,
with
our
Cross
and
Harp
;
and
Oliver's
Lion
Sal●ant
was
placed
in
the
middle
,
which
is
as
good
Herauldry
as
this
Escutcheon
deserves
:
That
Kingdom
by
vertue
thereof
to
be
charged
no
otherwise
in
Assessments
and
Tax
,
than
proportionably
to
England
,
and
to
pay
no
greater
Excise
,
&c.
An
Ordinance
likewise
for
mending
and
repairing
Highways
and
Bridges
which
the
War
had
spoiled
,
and
were
yet
every
where
unrepaired
:
a
very
necessary
and
good
work
for
the
benefit
of
the
Nation
;
no
Waggon
being
suffered
thereafter
to
travel
with
above
five
Horses
,
nor
six
Oxen
and
one
Horse
;
and
care
was
taken
likewise
about
the
shodding
of
the
Wheels
.

Arguile
sides
with
the
English

and
Proclaims
Oliver
in
great
state
at
Edenburgh
;
and
Arguile
plainly
and
openly
sides
with
the
English
,
and
foments
divisions
among
the
Scots
;
his
Son
the
Lord
Lorn
departing
in
a
discontent
and
quarrel
from
the
Earl
of
Glencarn
,
and
returning
to
the
old
Fox
his
Father
.
The
French
King
Crowned
at
Rheims
,
having
been
declared
Major
,
and
our
Soveraign
invited
to
the
Solemnity
,
while
the
Intrigues
of
Mazarine
were
driving
a
conclusion
of
peace
with
Cromwel
.
The
Designe
now
appeared
,
which
Oliver
had
hatched
for
some
while
,
and
had
laboured
by
his
treacherous
Agents
to
mature
to
something
:
therefore
first
of
all
,
a
general
search
is
made
throughout
London
for
Cavaliers
;
and
thereupon
Colonel
Iohn
Gerrard
,
as
before
,
Mr.
Vowel
,
and
Somerset
Fox
,
were
brought
before
the
High
Court
of
Iustice
,
A
High
Court
of
Iustice
.
Proclaimed
the
13
▪
and
sitting
the
31
of
Iune
:
in
which
interval
they
had
prepared
their
business
,
and
provided
Witnesses
,
and
drew
up
the
Charge
.
After
twice
or
thrice
Conventing
of
the
aforesaid
Gentlemen
,
an
Accusation
was
brought
of
their
intention
to
assassinate
the
Protector
,
with
one
Major
Henshaw
and
others
fled
;
to
the
proof
whereof
,
they
produced
young
Mr.
Charles
Gerrard
against
his
Brother
,
as
also
one
Wiseman
,
and
one
Mr.
Hudson
a
blinde
Minister
(
whose
Brother
was
that
eminent
person
who
accompanied
and
guarded
the
late
King
in
his
flight
from
Oxford
)
that
had
been
cherished
by
Mr.
Vowel
,
against
him
;
who
yet
retracted
from
his
Examination
,
and
could
not
be
brought
by
the
threats
of
the
Court
to
make
it
good
,
and
yet
they
made
it
valid
:
Somerset
Fox
(
as
he
was
instructed
before
)
by
promise
of
Life
confessing
the
Guilt
,
(
thereby
involving
the
other
two
innocent
Gentlemen
)
and
craving
mercy
.
It
availed
not
them
to
deny
this
Charge
,
though
never
so
much
reason
and
strength
of
argument
on
their
side
:
Lisle
the
President
summing
up
the
prejudiced
suffrages
of
the
Court
,
Lisle
President
thereof
.
gave
Sentence
of
Hanging
,
which
was
Executed
Iuly
the
10
,
on
Mr.
Vowel
at
Charing-Cross
,
where
with
a
Roman
Spirit
,
tempered
with
Christian
Patience
,
he
suffered
his
Martyrdom
,
off
from
a
Stool
●etcht
from
the
Guard
,
the
adjacent
Neighbours
refusing
to
lend
any
thing
to
his
Death
,
the
Executioner
having
his
Ladder
not
in
readiness
.
Col.
Gerrard
and
Vowel
Executed
,
July
10.
Colonel
Gerrard
was
Beheaded
on
Tower-hill
,
who
expresly
denied
the
intention
of
the
Fact
;
and
from
this
reason
,
because
he
thought
it
might
be
far
from
the
honour
and
great
minde
of
the
King
(
whose
injunction
this
was
said
to
be
)
to
consult
any
such
thing
,
though
by
the
like
practises
his
Father
,
lost
his
Life
;
and
that
he
feared
he
should
not
die
right
in
his
Favour
,
for
being
suspected
of
such
a
thing
:
and
then
most
courageously
stooped
to
the
Block
.
With
him
upon
the
same
Scaffold
suffered
the
Portugal
Embassador's
Brother
,
(
then
Residing
with
Oliver
)
by
Name
Don
P●ntaleon-Sa●
●
He
had
a
while
before
made
a
Riot
in
the
New-Exchange
,
upon
conceit
of
an
Affront
or
some
scorn
cast
upon
him
there
,
and
killed

Gentleman

quietly
at

Stall

no
opposition
being
made
but
by
this
Colonel
Gerrard
,
who
was
now
fatally
joyned
with
him
in
Death
.
The
Murther
was
Committed
by
a
Knight
of
Maltha
,
who
escaped
;
but
this
Nobleman
and
four
more
of
the
Embassador's
Servants
,
among
whom
was
an
Irish
youth
,
were
arraigned
before
Chief-Justice
Rolls
,
Sir
Henry
Blunt
,
and
Recorder
Steel
,
Tichburn
and
others
,
joyned
in
a
Commission
of
Oyer
and
Terminer
,
and
Tried
by
a
party-Jury
of
English
and
Forrainers
,
as
of
custom
:
and
though
he
at
first
refused
to
Plead
,
alledging
his
Quality
,
he
was
at
last
Convicted
and
Condemned
.
He
had
made
an
Escape
by
the
civil
industry
of
the
Lady
Philip
Mohun
,
and
attempted
it
again
;
but
was
retaken
,
and
now
Beheaded
.
After
the
Priests
and
he
had
prayed
upon
the
Scaffold
,
he
shewed
some
little
aversion
of
D●ath
;
but
whether
out
of
anger
or
fear
,
is
uncertain
;
the
people
and
spectators
shewing
different
passions
at
the
fall
of
both
these
Victimes
to
crafty
Tyranny
and
impartial
Justice
.
This
was
done
upon
the
King
of
Portugal's
order
,
to
whom
the
cause
and
Execution
of
Justice
in
his
own
Kingdom
was
first
remitted
.
The
Embassador
soon
after
the
conclusion
of
a
Peace
disconsolately
departed
.
The
Irish
Youth
suffered
at
Tyburn
;
the
rest
were
Reprieved
,
and
afterwards
Released
.
In
the
same
month
a
ship
on
Southwark-side
took
accidental
Fire
as
she
lay
at
Anchor
,
Ships
blown
up
neer
London
-
Bridge
.
which
being
cut
away
,
the
ship
(
as
Providence
would
have
it
)
was
driven
by
the
flowing
Tide
upon
a
Shelf
neer
the
Bridge
,
where
she
stuck
,
and
blew
up
her
powder
.
There
were
8
persons
killed
▪
one
a
Draper
upon
his
Leads
on
the
Bridge
,
by
a
Plank
of
the
said
ship
;
and
had
the
blow
been
any
nigher
,
it
would
have
broke
that
famous
Pile
.
Another
ship
neer
the
same
time
fired
in
Fresh-wharf
,
neer
the
Bridge
likewise
:
and
generally
there
were
many
and
very
sad
Conflagrations
that
attended
this
Boutefeu
and
his
Usurpation
;
and
as
memorable
unruly
accidents
ended
it
,
as
by
the
sequel
will
appear
.
We
will
now
cursorily
run
over
the
Highland-War
of
Scotland
,
A
short
account
of
the
Highland
War
.
where
notwithstanding
those
many
divisions
and
animosities
concerning
Command
that
were
between
the
Commanders
in
this
Scotch
Army
,
the
Earl
of
Glencarn
stomacking
the
supream
Command
to
be
conferred
upon
General
Middleton
,
which
was
thought
the
best
expedient
to
unite
all
Divisions
amongst
them
,
the
said
Royal
Party
was
yet
re-inforced
to
the
number
of
3
or
4000
men
,
whom
both
General
Monke
and
Colonel
Morgan
(
in
distinct
Bodies
and
several
ways
)
attended
:
Morgan
was
about
Loughaber
and
Lo●ghness
,
in
the
Western
Highlands
,
about
Arguile's
Country
,
and
keeping
close
at
the
Heels
of
them
;
who
ever
and
anon
took
over
the
Mountains
and
gave
them
the
slip
:
for
it
was
by
no
means
advised
to
venture
an
Encounter
,
but
tire
their
Enemy
out
;
and
nothing
but
invincible
patience
and
resolution
could
have
endured
it
:
For
be●ides
the
want
of
Provisions
in
that
scarce
,
barren
Country
,
against
which
the
Souldiers
were
armed
onely
with
Bread
and
Cheese
,
which
they
eat
20
days
together
,
that
Nature
could
hardly
discharge
it self
:
the
Ways
were
most
times
so
abrupt
,
that
hardly
more
than
one
could
go
abreast
;
and
over
the
Hills
if
a
Horse-Foot
slipt
,
men
were
in
danger
of
breaking
their
Necks
down
the
Precipices
,
and
Horse
and
Man
sure
to
be
lost
:
no
Quarter
to
be
had
but
in
the
Glens
;
and
great
happiness
was
it
counted
to
meet
with
them
and
fresh
Water
,
neer
which
to
pitch
Tents
;
the
General
chearfully
undergoing
the
same
necessities
.
After
much
Traversing
these
difficult
ways
,
which
were
notwithstanding
easie
(
as
usual
)
to
the
Highlander
,
it
was
the
Fortune
of
Colonel
Morgan
to
light
upon
General
Middleton
neer
Badgenoth
,
at
one
of
those
narrow
Passes
,
now
proving
incommodious
to
the
Natives
themselves
;
for
they
could
neither
well
fight
nor
retreat
,
so
that
they
Engaged
in
no
order
nor
figure
;
and
after
a
short
Medly
or
Tumult
,
rather
than
Battle
,
were
forced
to
flie
:
the
General
endeavouring
what
he
could
to
resist
his
misfortune
,
was
so
neer
being
taken
,
that
he
lost
his
Commission
and
Instructions
,
and
one
of
his
rich
Coats
,
with
a
Sumpter-horse
.
This
happened
on
the
19
of
Iuly
,
and
was
the
total
defeat
and
suppression
of
that
War
:
The
Earl
of
▪
Glencarn
submits
to
the
English
.
For
immediately
the
Earl
of
Glencarn
with
500
men
submitted
,
at
Dumbarton
;
and
though
there
happened
some
puny
Skirmishes
afterwards
,
as
the
defeating
of
a
party
of
the
Earl
of
Athol
,
Captain
Elsmores
taking
of
Sir
Arthur
Forbes
,
and
routing
of
Mac
Naughton
at
Glenlyon
,
and
Captain
Lisle
with
a
party
from
Colonel
Cobbet
Governour
of
Dundee
defeated
the
Earl
of
Kinoule
,
and
took
him
(
and
the
Lord
Diddup
,
and
Lieutenant-Colonel
Mercer
)
Prisoner
,
who
was
returned
now
to
Edenburgh-Castle
,
and
the
young
Marquess
of
Montross
routed
by
Blair-Castle
;
yet
Submissions
and
Treaties
spent
most
of
the
time
that
the
Lord
Middleton
with
the
Earl
of
Seaforth
staid
in
Scotland
,
who
now
with
a
small
party
of
the
Clans
were
in
Catheness
;
the
Lords
Forrester
and
Kenmore
,
the
Earl
of
Athol
and
Marquess
of
Montross
capitulated
,
desiring
onely
the
Terms
(
and
mitigation
of
Fines
)
the
Earl
of
Glencarn
had
at
his
Rendition
at
Dumbarton-Castle
.
Lorn
now
flew
again
into
Arms
,
(
to
colour
those
late
Treacheries
and
Treasons
he
now
underhand
managed
for
Cromwel
)
and
joyned
with
Mac
Naughton
,
who
had
surprized
Colonel
Brayn
and
Captain
Nichols
Governour
of
Inner●ra-Castle
,
as
they
,
thinking
themselves
secure
in
the
Confines
of
the
Lowlands
,
had
dismiss'd
their
Convoy
,
and
made
his
Terms
by
that
lucky
surprize
to
his
advantage
.
Generally
the
Noble
General
Monke
gave
very
obliging
Conditions
,
and
so
did
Twisleton
and
Morgan
,
by
his
order
,
to
those
that
capitulated
with
them
,
and
shewed
all
the
favour
that
could
be
expected
in
point
of
Fines
and
Forfeitures
;
which
firmly
obliged
the
Nobles
and
Gentry
to
him
for
the
future
;
(
which
no
doubt
he
had
then
principally
in
his
Eye
)
and
also
invited
General
Middleton
and
the
Earl
of
Seaforth
to
enter
into
Treaty
with
him
;
which
was
managed
and
in
a
manner
concluded
by
Major-General
Drummond
;
but
rescinded
by
Middleton
,
as
was
alledged
here
,
because
of
the
English
insistency
upon
the
former
Fines
and
Security
;
but
judged
as
proceeding
from
a
principle
of
Honour
and
Right
,
since
this
departure
of
the
King's
Lieutenant
with
Conditions
obtained
from
the
Enemy
,
might
be
construed
a
Cession
of
that
Kingdom
to
the
Usurper
,
as
the
Lord
Ormond
with
great
Punctilio
given
him
a
very
noble
Precedent
.
He
departed
not
till
the
beginning
of
the
next
year
;
and
Glengary
had
the
honour
(
for
Mac
Cloud
and
Mac
Eldow
had
Articled
some
time
before
)
to
render
the
last
Arms
that
were
taken
up
for
his
Majesty
in
that
Ki●gdom
.
The
Farewel
to
the
Scotch
War
.
And
so
we
dismiss
that
War
with
this
valedictory
Elogie
to
both
those
honourable
Generals
;
the
one
of
them
just
ceased
his
indefatigable
industry
for
the
Recovery
of
the
Kings
Rights
,
and
had
a
Royal
Conge
and
Writ
of
Emeri●us
est
;
and
the
other
like
an
Altern
Luminary
,
began
,
or
rather
renewed
his
auspicious
aspect
upon
the
Kings
Restitution
;
so
that
the
brightness
of
the
Majesty
of
Scotland
was
never
totally
obscured
;
and
long
may
they
now
shine
together
,
without
diminution
to
each
others
lustre
,
in
this
glorious
Firmament
of
his
Majesties
present
and
perpetual
Empire
.
In
England
,
the
French
Embassadors
prosecuted
the
Treaty
am●in
,
and
with
very
great
secrecy
:
but
some
mistake
happening
in
point
of
civility
and
ceremony
by
Monsieur
de
Baas
,
Bourdeaux's
Colleague
,
he
returned
into
France
to
meet
a
report
of
his
carriage
at
Paris
;
from
whence
upon
timely
overture
of
the
proceedings
in
that
affair
,
our
Soveraign
withdrew
,
and
departed
to
the
Spaw
by
Leige
,
The
King
through
Leige
to
the
Spaw
.
where
he
was
magnificently
treated
by
that
City
;
and
so
onward
in
his
journey
to
meet
the
Princess
of
Aurange
his
Sister
,
who
had
left
her
Son
the
Prince
in
Holland
,
where
the
divisions
about
his
being
Stadtholder
were
as
high
as
ever
;
and
to
help
them
forward
,
Cromwel
writ
to
the
States
of
Zealand
,
to
perswade
them
to
the
Holland-resolution
:
which
the
Towns
of
Campen
and
Swol
had
so
far
withstood
,
as
to
accept
and
Swear
Prince
William
of
Frizeland
to
be
their
Stadtholder
,
during
the
minority
of
the
Prince
of
Aurange
,
which
was
19
years
,
or
till
he
should
be
capable
of
the
Government
.
The
Duke
of
York
was
to
have
Commanded
as
Lieutenant-General
of
the
French
Army
in
Italy
;
but
this
unhandsome
Peace
disobliged
his
better-deserving
and
victorious
Arms
,
and
turned
them
afterward
against
such
thankless
and
regardless
Relations
:
he
continued
yet
nevertheless
at
Paris
till
after
the
said
Treaty
was
concluded
,
and
then
took
his
Farewel
of
that
unkinde
and
politick
Court
.
Prince
Rupert
was
now
at
Vienna
,
where
he
was
highly
Complemented
and
presented
by
the
Emperour
,
and
from
thence
came
back
to
Heydelberg
.
Prince
Cromwel
,
Cromwel
falls
from
his
Coach-box
.
who
was
now
wholly
out
of
action
,
having
laid
his
Scene
in
the
Counties
and
Boroughs
for
Elections
to
the
ensuing
Parliament
,
gave
himself
and
the
Town
a
little
recreation
.
It
happened
on
a
Friday
in
Iuly
,
that
desirous
to
divert
himself
with
driving
of
his
Coach
and
six
Horses
in
Hide-park
,
with
his
Secretary
Thurloe
in
it
,
like
Mephistophilus
and
Doctor
Faustus
careering
it
in
the
Air
,
to
try
how
he
could
govern
Horses
,
since
Rational
Creatures
were
so
unruly
and
difficult
to
be
reined
;
like
another
Phaeton
he
fell
in
the
Experiment
from
the
Coach-box
,
which
was
presently
posted
into
the
City
,
and
many
ominous
and
true
Conjectures
made
of
his
certain
Catastro●ph●
;
one
of
the
ingenious
Songs
on
the
occasion
ending
in
this
presagio●●
Rythme
.
Every
Day
and
Hour
hath
shew'd
us
his
power
,
But
now
he
hath
shew'd
us
his
Art
.
Mr.
Scrugg's
Counsellor●
His
first
Reproach
,
was
a
fall
from
a
Coach
,
His
next
will
be
from
a
Cart.
According
to
the
late
Instrument
of
Government
of
42
Strings
or
Articles
,
A
Parliament
,
and
met
,
Sep.
3.
one
whereof
was
,
that
a
Parliament
should
be
call●d
every
three
years
,
the
first
the
third
of
September
next
;
He
accordingly
Issued
out
his
Writs
,
the
Election
to
be
made
one
and
the
same
day
throughout
England
:
most
of
the
Boroughs
had
but
one
Burgess
,
and
the
Shires
some
of
them
six
or
seven
Knights
;
all
of
them
under
sure
qualifications
of
not
having
been
or
being
of
the
Cavalier-party
:
There
were
30
also
by
the
Instrument
Elected
for
Scotland
,
and
as
many
for
Ireland
;
all
or
most
of
whom
were
English
Commanders
.
On
the
third
of
September
they
met
,
and
adjourned
from
the
House
to
the
Abbey
,
where
Mr.
Marshal
Preached
;
and
so
to
the
Painted
Chamber
,
where
they
had
a
Message
from
the
Protector
to
invite
them
to
a
Sermon
the
next
day
again
,
when
Dr.
Goodwyn
Preached
;
and
the
Protector
came
in
great
State
in
his
Coach
;
Cleypole
the
Master
of
his
Horse
,
and
Strickland
the
Captain
of
his
Guard
,
bare-headed
on
both
sides
.
At
his
entrance
into
the
Church
,
Lambert
carried
the
Sword
before
him
,
and
Whitlock
the
Purse
.
The
Sermon
done
,
to
the
Painted
Chamber
again
,
and
there
in
a
Speech
he
set
forth
these
Heads
:
That
some
few
years
ago
none
would
have
thought
of
such
a
Door
of
Hope
;
Cromwel's
Speech
.
that
he
knew
there
were
yet
many
Humours
and
Interests
,
and
that
Humours
were
above
Interest
;
that
the
condition
of
England
was
like
Israel
in
the
Wilderness
,
(
of
which
the
Sermon
was
)
that
this
was
a
Healing
day
:
there
was
neither
Nobleman
,
nor
Gentleman
,
nor
Yeoman
before
known
by
any
distinction
;
we
had
not
any
that
bore
Rule
or
Authority
,
but
a
great
Contempt
of
Magistracy
and
Christ's
Ordinances
:
That
the
Fifth-Monarchy
was
highly
cried
up
by
persons
who
would
Assume
the
Government
,
but
that
desired
thing
wanted
greater
manifestation
than
appeared
for
such
men
to
change
the
Authority
by
.
(
And
this
directed
at
the
late
Parliament
.
)
He
desired
this
Honourable
Assembly
to
remedy
all
these
Disorders
;
shewed
that
the
Wars
with
Portugal
,
French
,
and
Dutch
,
do
and
did
eat
up
the
Assessments
;
that
swarms
of
Iesuits
are
crept
in
to
make
Divisions
,
which
were
grown
so
wide
,
that
nothing
but
his
Government
could
remedy
them
;
and
let
men
say
what
they
will
,
he
could
speak
it
with
comfort
before
a
greater
than
any
of
them
.
Then
he
shewed
what
he
had
done
during
his
Government
.
First
,
his
endeavour
of
Reforming
the
Laws
,
having
joyned
all
parties
to
assist
in
that
great
Work
:
Next
,
his
filling
the
Benches
with
the
ablest
Lawyers
:
Then
,
his
Regulation
of
the
Court
of
Chancery
,
and
his
Darling-Ordinance
for
approbation
of
Ministers
,
(
which
hindred
all
that
list
from
invading
the
Ministry
)
by
men
of
both
perswasions
,
Presbyterians
and
Independents
,
&c.
And
lastly
,
his
being
Instrumental
to
call
a
Free
Parliament
,
which
he
valued
,
and
would
keep
it
so
above
his
life
.
Then
he
shewed
the
advantages
of
the
Peace
with
Dutch
,
Dane
,
and
Swede
,
and
the
Protestant
Interest
,
which
he
would
have
them
improve
and
intend
chiefly
:
That
they
were
now
upon
the
edge
of
Canaan
:
That
he
spake
not
as
their
Lord
,
but
their
Fellow-servant
.
And
then
bad
them
go
and
chuse
their
Speak●r
;
which
they
did
without
presenting
of
him
,
his
Name
William
Lenthal
,
the
old
Chair-man
▪
and
next
day
fell
upon
the
Instrument
,
as
they
had
Voted
,
by
Parts
as
it
lay
,
and
questioned
the
Power
:
which
Oliver
understanding
,
to
put
them
out
of
that
Course
,
which
touched
his
Copy-hold
,
after
9
days
he
came
to
the
Painted
Chamber
,
and
sending
for
them
,
declared
and
asserted
four
Fundamentals
in
the
Instrument
,
which
they
were
not
to
meddle
with
or
to
alter
.
1.
The
Government
by
a
Single
person
and
Parliament
.
2.
The
Imperpetuity
of
Parliaments
,
or
continued
Succession
.
●
▪
The
Militia
,
which
was
his
onely
.
And
4.
Liberty
of
Conscience
.
And
that
a
Free
Parliament
was
but
a
reciprocation
;
for
that
power
which
made
him
a
Protector
,
made
them
a
Parliament
;
and
therefore
was
very
sorry
they
should
go
about
to
destroy
the
Settlement
;
which
to
prevent
,
and
cease
such
Debates
,
(
though
he
denied
any
Negative
Voice
)
he
was
necessitated
to
appoint
a
T●st
or
Recognition
of
the
Government
as
it
was
established
(
by
every
Member
)
before
they
sate
in
the
House
again
.
This
bogled
at
the
first
three
quarters
of
them
,
especially
the
Commonwealths-men
,
and
those
of
the
late
Long
Parliament
;
so
that
of
four
hundred
and
odd
,
there
appeared
but
two
hundred
;
but
were
made
up
at
last
three
hundred
,
for
the
old
ones
would
not
be
baulked
so
,
and
fell
afr●sh
upon
the
same
dispu●es
,
and
ran
out
all
the
Articles
,
resolving
to
put
the
whole
judgement
of
the
House
upon
them
into
one
entire
Bill
,
and
so
present
it
;
but
in
truth
to
spin
out
time
,
and
work
upon
the
Protector
's
occasions
for
Money
,
which
was
proposed
in
the
House
,
and
coldly
and
slowly
considered
.
S●vera
▪
Or●●nances
pub●i●hed
in
P●●●iament
.
Just
at
their
sitting
down
,
the
Protector
published
several
Ordinances
;
which
being
passed
,
and
bore
date
before
,
were
to
pass
as
Authentick
as
Acts
by
the
Instrument
:
one
for
paying
the
Money
into
the
Trea●●●y
that
was
raised
for
the
propagation
of
the
Gospel
in
Wales
;
another
for
making
Souldiers
free
of
all
Corporations
,
and
to
exercise
any
Trades
;
another
to
turn
out
all
honest
men
under
the
notion
of
scandalous
Preachers
and
Ministers
,
Common-Prayer
being
their
chiefest
imputation
;
and
a
fourth
to
survey
Kings
Lands
,
&c.
and
for
doubling
upon
Deans
and
Chapters
;
which
sales
those
many
changes
of
Power
had
much
retarded
and
depretiated
.
The
more
occult
cause
of
the
publication
of
these
Ordinances
,
was
to
let
the
Parliament
understand
that
Oliver
took
his
Instrument
to
be
in
a
good
Case
,
and
sufficiently
warranted
already
.
Amidst
these
Jars
and
discords
about
it
,
the
Serpentine
Charms
of
Cardinal
Mazarine
had
lulled
the
Protector
in
an
imaginable
Dream
of
the
worlds
Wealth
,
and
rich
Empire
of
America
,
The
designe
on
the
West-Indies
,
Sep.
to
divert
his
neer
designes
upon
the
neighbourhood
of
France
;
to
which
War
he
was
the
rather
enclined
,
from
the
near
allyance
of
this
Crown
to
that
,
and
having
excluded
its
Interest
in
Holland
,
to
drive
it
out
of
that
Kingdom
:
But
the
policy
of
the
Cardinal
so
outreached
that
designe
,
that
it
extended
his
thoughts
to
the
other
World
,
giving
him
the
fruition
of
Great
Alexander's
Wish
.
This
complot
between
them
,
which
of
the
Spanish
and
English
side
very
much
conduced
to
the
French
,
was
most
pertinaciously
secreted
to
the
very
time
of
publick
Hostility
in
those
American
parts
,
though
it
was
guessed
at
,
and
the
noise
of
Hispaniola
was
very
rife
in
discourse
about
this
time
.
The
Protector
began
to
Arm
for
the
expedition
,
in
November
and
December
,
2000
men
,
old
Royalists
,
and
reduced
necessitated
persons
making
up
the
gross
of
the
Army
;
to
which
some
Red-coats
for
the
more
terrour
and
assurance
were
added
,
being
drawn
by
Lot
out
of
the
several
Regiments
.
The
Command
of
the
Land-service
was
conferred
upon
Colonel
,
now
General
Venables
,
a
confident
of
Cromwels
,
who
very
unmanly
carried
his
Wife
with
him
;
and
General
Pen
for
Sea
,
who
at
the
end
of
December
was
ready
at
Portsmouth
,
where
attended
Colonel
Hayns
Major-General
of
the
Army
,
and
departed
first
with
the
Rear-Admiral
Blag
for
Barbadoes
,
and
was
followed
soon
after
by
the
whole
Fleet
,
who
had
on
board
Commissioners
for
managing
the
Treasure
that
was
expected
from
the
Mountains
of
Gold
;
which
Publicans
,
like
Achans
in
the
Camp
,
were
one
chief
cause
of
the
successlessness
of
this
Indian
War
.
On
the
29
of
Ianuary
following
,
the
whole
Fleet
arrived
,
after
a
good
and
speedy
passage
,
at
Carlisle-Bay
,
in
the
Isle
of
Barbadoes
,
all
except
the
two
Charities
,
which
were
driven
by
Weather
into
Ireland
,
putting
out
to
Sea
after
the
Fleet
,
and
were
much
wanted
,
the
Horses
for
the
service
being
aboard
them
;
and
here
for
a
while
we
leave
them
.
The
Parliament
after
they
had
chawed
upon
the
Recognition
,
and
voted
it
not
to
b●
taken
as
absolute
in
every
point
of
the
Instrument
,
limited
it
onely
to
the
Single
person
,
and
successive
Parliaments
;
and
continued
their
debates
as
high
as
ever
,
The
Parl.
Examine
the
Cases
of
the
Lord
Craven
and
Sir
John
Stawel
.
resolving
themselves
into
a
Grand
Committee
,
to
examine
every
particle
of
it
;
another
to
hear
and
examine
the
Case
of
the
Lord
Craven
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Stawel
,
and
to
give
redress
to
them
,
(
for
there
were
abundance
of
good
Patriots
in
the
House
,
and
who
were
resolved
to
do
their
Country
service
.
)
The
Cases
were
accordingly
heard
;
Mr.
Serjeant
Maynard
of
Counsel
with
the
Lord
Craven
,
and
Latch
for
the
Purchasers
;
who
argued
it
very
hard
:
but
before
a
Report
could
be
made
,
which
was
in
favour
of
his
Lordship
,
Cromwel
terminated
his
hopes
,
(
and
it
was
in
vain
to
look
for
remedy
from
him
,
for
that
would
deter
all
future
Purchasers
)
and
the
Parliaments
sitting
;
for
he
had
never
heard
from
them
since
their
coming
thither
;
telling
them
after
many
good
morrows
,
of
a
designe
of
the
common
Enemy
,
(
to
whose
hands
it
was
then
agreed
by
some
of
themselves
whom
he
could
discover
,
to
deliver
the
Cause
,
and
the
good
people
,
&c.
)
and
so
they
parted
.
Cromwel
spake
not
without
book
;
for
at
that
time
he
held
good
intellig●nce
with
one
Manning
,
one
of
the
Clerks
belonging
to
the
Secretary
with
the
King
now
at
Colen
,
where
he
was
most
amply
,
and
with
more
than
customary
honours
welcomed
from
the
Spaw
and
Aken
in
Germany
.
From
Colen
the
King
to
convey
his
Sister
into
Holland
,
brought
her
on
h●r
way
to
Dusseldorp
,
to
the
Duke
of
Newburgh
,
where
they
were
no
less
sumptuously
treated
;
thence
the
King
journeyed
with
the
Princess
as
●ar
as
Benningen
on
the
way
,
and
returned
to
Hunt
with
the
said
Duke
,
The
Duke
of
Gloucester
with
the
King
at
Colen
.
the
King
's
Cordial
and
most
Noble
Friend
.
At
his
return
to
Colen
,
the
Marquess
of
Ormond
had
conducted
and
brought
away
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
from
the
Jesuits
Colledge
at
Paris
,
who
with
the
Queen-Mother
(
that
sent
the
Marquess
of
Praslin
,
and
the
Lord
Abbot
Mountague
,
to
perswade
him
him
to
stay
,
and
not
to
displease
his
Mother
,
but
follow
her
advice
,
which
was
to
have
him
trained
up
in
the
Romish
Religion
)
laboured
to
that
purpose
:
but
the
young
Prince
understanding
his
Brothers
pleasure
,
answered
according
as
his
blessed
Father
had
enjoyned
him
,
That
he
was
to
obey
his
Soveraign
before
his
Mother
:
and
so
came
away
with
the
Marquess
to
the
King
.
General
Blake
was
in
the
interim
set
to
Sea
for
the
Streights
,
and
it
was
given
out
to
intercept
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
who
was
then
going
to
invade
the
Kingdom
of
Naples
;
but
he
was
landed
14
days
before
he
came
to
that
Coast
,
though
he
might
have
prevented
him
if
he
had
had
such
Commission
;
but
the
League
was
certainly
struck
betwixt
the
Cardinal
and
Protector
,
however
they
v●nted
such
talk
to
amuse
the
Spaniard
;
for
every
day
there
was
news
of
a
Rupture
and
an
Embargo
in
France
;
and
the
Cardinals
Regiment
was
in
good
●arnest
drawn
down
to
the
Sea-side
by
Deip
,
on
purpose
to
countenance
these
rumours
.
Blake
from
Naples
came
into
Leghorn-road
,
and
demanded
150000
l.
damages
,
for
what
we
sustained
in
the
Fight
with
Van
Galen
;
but
what
satisfaction
he
received
,
is
uncertain
.
From
whence
he
sailed
for
Algiers
,
being
met
at
Sea
by
De
Wit
the
Dutch
Vice-Admiral
,
and
saluted
with
extraordinary
respect
,
and
civilly
treated
as
yet
by
the
Spaniards
themselves
,
as
also
at
Lisbon
by
that
King
.
At
Naples
they
would
have
invited
him
on
shore
;
but
the
wary
Commander
excused
himself
by
Command
from
the
Protector
not
to
leave
his
Charge
;
Gen.
Blake
a
wary
Commander
.
in
which
we
shall
at
present
leave
him
.
Cromwel's
Mother
dieth
,
and
is
Buried
in
State
,
in
Hen.
7th
's
Chappel
.
On
the
18
of
November
died
(
the
unhappy
Parent
of
this
Usurper
)
His
aged
Mother
,
who
lived
to
see
her
Son
through
such
a
Deluge
of
Blood
swim
to
a
perplexed
Throne
,
in
the
best
share
of
whose
greatness
she
was
concerned
,
as
to
the
Princely
accommodation
of
her
maintenance
in
Life
,
and
burial
in
Death
;
being
laid
in
Henry
the
seventh's
Chappel
in
great
state
.
On
the
first
of
December
following
,
Mr.
John
Selden
dyes
.
died
that
most
Famous
and
Learned
Antiquary
Mr.
Iohn
Selden
,
a
person
of
such
worth
and
Use
,
that
no
Learned
Eye
could
refrain
a
tear
upon
the
consideration
of
Death
,
and
its
rude
indifferencing
hand
,
which
mingled
the
Dust
of
this
great
Restorer
,
with
the
putrid
Rottenness
of
her
,
that
was
the
Womb
to
this
Destroyer
.
Fleetwood
made
Deputy
of
Ireland
,
Steel
Lord-Chancellour
,
and
Pepys
Lord-Chief-Iustice
.
In
Ireland
all
things
continued
very
quiet
,
Fleetwood
being
sworn
Lord-Deputy
,
Steel
made
Lord-Chancellour
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
Pepys
Lord-Chief-Justice
;
and
Corbet
,
Goodwyn
,
Thomlinson
,
and
Colonel
Robert
Hammond
of
the
Council
:
by
whom
the
Transplantation
was
so
prosecuted
,
that
the
first
of
March
was
the
longest
day
of
respit
,
upon
very
severe
penalties
.
In
the
mean
while
this
new
Deputy
and
Council
,
till
the
arrival
of
Steel
,
diverted
themselves
in
Progress
through
the
Kingdom
.
In
Ianuary
arrived
at
London
an
Embassador
,
the
Marquess
Hugh
Fiesco
,
from
the
State
of
Genoa
,
and
was
splendidly
received
and
dismissed
.
The
Cavaliers
and
Fifth-Monarchy-Plot
.
The
effects
of
this
Parliament-rupture
,
encouraged
two
most
opposite
parties
to
conspire
against
the
Protector
,
the
Fifth-Monarchists
and
Cavaliers
;
(
for
as
to
the
Commonwealth
,
having
once
lost
their
Army
,
they
were
miserably
inconsiderable
,
and
the
Herd
of
the
Rebellious
multitude
followed
any
thing
that
could
continue
it
in
what
form
soever
.
)
A
Monarchy
was
sought
on
by
all
hands
;
the
true
Royal
party
(
for
we
must
so
distinguish
it
)
longed
for
their
rightful
Soveraign
Charles
the
Second
;
the
Fifth-Monarchy
expected
King
Iesus
;
the
Courtiers
and
those
engaged
by
them
or
with
them
with
Cromwel
himself
,
desired
King
Oliver
:
and
every
of
these
manifested
much
impatience
▪
but
none
o●
them
could
attain
their
Wishes
;
and
when
Oliver
might
afterwards
,
he
durst
not
.
The
Protector
was
no
way
ignorant
of
this
,
and
therefore
he
resolved
to
deal
with
the
weakest
first
,
which
yet
by
underminings
was
more
dangerous
than
the
other
.
The
Army
was
corrupted
by
that
Millenary
Principle
,
and
that
was
to
be
purged
;
so
that
as
Harrison
and
Rich
had
been
laid
aside
,
and
not
long
after
committed
with
Carew
and
Courtney
into
several
remote
Castles
:
Maj.
Gen.
Overton
,
Col.
Okey
,
and
other
Officers
Cashiered
:
Overton
Committed
to
the
Tower
.
so
now
General
Monke
had
order
to
seize
Major-General
Overton
,
and
the
Majors
Bramston
and
Holms
,
and
other
Officers
,
and
Cashire
them
,
after
Fines
and
good
Security
for
their
Behaviour
.
Overton
was
sent
up
to
the
Tower
,
and
his
Regiment
conferred
on
Colonel
Morgan
.
Colonel
Okey's
Regiment
was
likewise
taken
from
him
,
and
given
to
the
Lord
Howard
;
and
so
the
danger
from
the
Army
was
quickly
supprest
.
Cornet
(
but
since
Colonel
)
Ioyce
was
likewise
male-content
at
this
change
,
and
signified
so
much
to
Cromwel's
Face
,
whom
he
upbraided
with
his
own
service
,
and
his
faithlesness
;
but
escaped
any
other
Censure
than
a
bidding
him
be
gone
;
Cromwel
well
knowing
him
to
be
one
of
those
mad-men
that
would
say
or
do
any
thing
they
were
bid
.
But
the
Royalists
designe
was
of
a
more
potent
combination
,
The
Kings
designe
discovered
by
Manning
.
and
had
been
truly
formidable
,
had
it
not
by
Treachery
and
Treason
been
revealed
to
the
Protector
,
who
came
by
that
means
to
know
the
rise
,
progress
,
and
first
appearance
of
those
Arms
against
him
;
and
this
was
Manning's
perfidy
,
which
the
King
too
late
discovered
.
All
the
Gentlemen
in
-
England
of
that
party
were
one
way
or
other
engaged
,
or
at
least
were
made
acquainted
with
it
;
but
the
snatching
of
the
principal
of
them
up
throughout
the
Kingdom
a
little
before
the
Execution
of
it
,
frustrated
the
most
probable
effects
of
that
Rising
.
The
Lord
Mayor
,
&c.
of
the
City
of
London
was
likewise
sent
●or
,
and
informed
of
it
,
and
the
Militia
established
;
Skippon
being
made
their
Major-General
there
:
several
persons
under
the
character
of
dissolute
persons
were
seized
by
vertue
of
a
Proclamation
to
that
effect
;
as
also
all
Horse-races
were
forbidden
;
Counterplots
were
used
,
and
all
sorts
of
Ammunition
were
sent
down
to
several
Gentlemens
Houses
with
Letters
unsubscribed
,
and
the
said
Gentlemen
upon
receipt
secured
,
and
brought
up
Prisoners
,
to
bear
company
with
the
old
standers
of
that
party
;
and
a
Ship-chandler
,
one
Frese
,
and
a
Merchant
or
two
trepan'd
this
way
:
Sir
Ralph
Vernon
Imprisoned
.
Sir
Ralph
Vernon
of
Derby-shire
,
an
old
Royalist
,
was
Committed
,
and
Examined
before
Oliver
,
concerning
a
Trunk
of
Pistols
,
and
who
sent
them
:
Who
resolutely
answered
,
His
Self
;
which
so
dasht
him
,
that
he
was
without
one
word
more
dismist
,
but
not
from
his
Imprisonment
.
Notwithstanding
all
these
discouragements
and
warnings
to
give
over
,
the
Western
Association
thought
themselves
in
Honour
engaged
to
rise
upon
the
day
which
they
had
agreed
upon
with
one
another
in
the
other
parts
,
Western
Insurrection
.
and
had
notified
to
the
King
,
who
was
now
removed
from
Colen
,
and
absconded
himself
neer
the
Sea-coast
,
upon
the
first
success
of
the
Affair
to
be
ready
to
pass
over
to
his
Friends
.
Accordingly
on
the
11
of
March
,
being
Monday
,
(
very
early
in
the
Morning
)
a
party
of
100
under
the
Command
of
Sir
Ioseph
Wagstaff
,
Sir
Joseph
Wagstaff
,
Col.
Penruddock
,
and
Grove
,
at
Salisbury
.
Colonel
Penruddock
and
Grove
,
entred
the
City
of
Salisbury
,
(
at
which
time
the
Judges
Rolls
and
Nichols
were
there
in
Circuit
)
and
seized
all
their
Horses
;
and
having
declared
the
cause
of
this
appearance
(
without
any
further
injury
or
medling
with
any
Money
which
lay
in
the
Chambers
of
Serjeant
Maynard
and
other
Lawyers
)
departed
,
promising
to
return
and
break
their
Fast
with
the
Judges
Provisions
;
which
they
did
,
and
encreased
their
number
to
400
;
and
had
they
returned
once
more
,
the
whole
City
had
risen
with
them
.
Thence
they
marched
to
Blandford
,
where
Colonel
Penruddock
himself
Proclaimed
the
the
King
in
the
Market-place
,
The
King
Proclaimed
at
Blandford
,
March
.
and
so
marched
Westward
;
Captain
Butler
with
two
Troops
of
Cromwel's
Horse
keeping
at
a
distance
in
their
Rear
,
to
give
them
opportunity
of
encreasing
;
but
,
by
the
means
aforesaid
,
very
few
came
in
;
which
made
a
great
many
more
slink
away
from
the
party
,
when
they
saw
no
hopes
of
that
great
number
promised
and
expected
.
But
the
Noble
Penruddock
resolved
yet
to
try
what
could
be
done
in
Devonshire
and
Cornwal
:
and
as
to
him
,
it
was
all
one
whether
he
retreated
or
went
forward
,
for
he
was
engaged
too
far
already
.
In
this
condition
some
100
of
the
most
faithful
and
cordial
of
the
party
,
Hungry
,
Sleepy
,
and
Weary
,
having
staid
no
where
,
reached
Southmolton
in
Devonshire
,
hoping
at
worst
to
get
away
by
Sea
;
but
that
night
,
on
the
15
of
March
,
their
Quarters
were
beaten
up
by
Captain
Crook
,
about
ten
a
clock
,
Penruddock
and
Grove
taken
.
and
some
Houses
forced
:
but
Colonel
Penruddock
maintained
his
quarters
till
he
had
Quarter
promised
,
and
Articled
;
which
Crook
afterwards
unworthily
and
basely
denied
.
There
were
taken
with
him
Colonel
Iones
a
Kinsman
of
Cromwel's
,
and
Colonel
Grove
an
old
Royalist
,
and
some
60
other
Prisoners
,
and
120
Horse
,
Sir
Ioseph
Wagstaff
,
Sir
Joseph
Wagstaff
escapes
.
Mr.
Robert
Mason
,
Esquire
Clark
,
and
Mr.
Thomas
Mompesson
escaped
beyond
Sea
;
and
so
this
unhappy
effort
was
suppressed
.
There
were
some
shadows
of
the
like
at
Rufford-Abbey
in
Nottinghamshire
,
at
Hessen-moor
in
York-shire
,
neer
Wrexham
in
Montgomery
,
in
Northumberland
;
for
which
some
were
Executed
;
and
a
like
rumour
of
a
designe
upon
Shrewsbury
,
(
Sir
Henry
Slingsby
in
Custody
,
and
Sir
Richard
Maleverer
and
Mr.
Hutton
taken
,
who
fled
for
it
,
and
were
retaken
at
Chester
,
from
whence
they
made
a
final
escape
)
and
Sir
Thomas
Harris
and
the
Lord
Newport
secured
ther●upon
;
but
all
vanished
and
came
to
nothing
,
and
those
mighty
and
pregnant
hopes
of
the
King's
Restitution
,
now
in
every
mans
Mouth
and
Wish
proved
frustraneous
hac
vice
;
and
Oliver
very
prajeant
that
he
could
thus
over-reach
the
King
in
his
own
Designes
.
This
Treason
came
to
be
discovered
to
the
King
in
this
manner
:
Some
Gentlemen
that
were
seized
upon
their
coming
home
,
having
visited
his
Majesty
at
Colen
,
who
was
pleased
upon
their
parting
to
go
to
the
Stairs
head
with
them
,
and
expressed
some
good
apprecations
of
a
designe
,
which
at
their
Examination
were
verbatim
interrogated
,
if
they
were
not
spoken
at
such
a
time
:
Advice
hereof
was
given
to
the
King
,
who
remembring
none
but
Colonel
Tuk●
and
this
Manning
,
who
light
the
Candle
,
to
be
present
at
the
parting
the
same
time
,
declared
the
whole
matter
to
the
Colonel
,
who
surprized
with
the
news
,
having
protested
his
Innocency
,
by
the
Kings
command
went
directly
to
Manning's
Chamber
,
and
not
staying
the
opening
of
the
Door
,
forced
it
,
and
found
him
a
chawing
of
Papers
,
and
a
Packet
by
him
newly
come
from
Thurloe
;
but
so
agast
,
that
he
knew
not
what
to
say
:
His
Father
had
been
slain
a
Colonel
in
the
Kings
Service
,
as
is
afore
related
;
he
himself
had
been
the
Earl
of
Pembroke's
Secretary
;
and
for
these
considerations
admitted
into
this
Trust
,
which
he
so
basely
abused
.
At
the
instance
of
the
whole
Court
,
the
King
was
prevailed
upon
to
let
him
be
shot
in
one
of
the
Castles
of
the
Duke
of
Newburgh
,
Manning
shot
in
the
Duke
of
Newburgh
's
Country
.
(
to
terrifie
all
other
faithless
and
disloyal
Servants
,
and
to
satisfie
for
some
of
that
Blood
Cromwel
had
spilt
upon
the
score
of
his
Per●idy
)
where
he
wretchedly
and
most
abjectly
died
.
Cromwel
had
drawn
4000
Foot
out
of
Ireland
,
under
Colonel
Axtel
and
Sadler
,
and
600
Horse
were
marching
out
of
Scotland
,
two
Troops
whereof
came
from
Ireland
by
that
short
cut
of
Sea
to
Ayre
;
but
upon
the
quelling
of
this
Western-rising
they
all
were
remanded
.

Anno
Dom.
1655.
THe
Cabal
of
Cardinal
Mazarine
and
Cromwel's
designe
was
now
visible
in
the
West-Indies
,
and
that
formidable
and
amusing
Expedition
displayed
to
those
parts
of
the
World
:
The
rich
Conceits
the
Usurper
cherished
from
thence
,
appeared
in
those
frequent
divertisements
he
gave
himself
beyond
his
usual
reservedness
,
and
from
that
more
than
ordinary
Pomp
and
State
he
arrogated
to
himself
,
like
another
Grand
Seignior
:
nothing
but
Golden
Smiles
to
be
seen
in
his
Court
,
where
the
solemn
Cringe
and
the
parasitical
Glaver
were
as
much
now
studied
,
to
humour
this
Greatness
,
as
matriculating
and
introducing
Piety
,
and
austere
Hypocrisie
.
And
never
was
such
a
strange
mixture
in
the
Arts
of
any
Courtier
as
these
Times
beheld
,
much
like
the
mysteries
of
the
as
strangely
framed
and
tempered
Government
.
With
much
impatience
did
all
men
indeed
await
the
issue
of
this
grand
Affair
;
and
to
be
certain
,
the
Hours
could
not
be
less
tedious
to
them
,
to
whom
belonged
the
approaching
Golden
Age
:
but
Parturiunt
montes
,
—
The
following
abstract
will
admonish
the
great
ones
,
that
Fortune
is
not
to
be
over-tempted
;
and
that
without
the
Concurrence
of
good
Deliberation
,
Conduct
,
and
Valour
,
she
is
not
always
obliged
to
her
Favourites
.
But
to
proceed
:
during
the
abode
of
the
Fleet
at
Barbadoes
,
the
Generals
,
Colonels
,
and
inferiour
Officers
were
not
negligent
in
their
several
stations
.
General
Pen
caused
the
Carpenters
of
each
ship
to
set
up
those
Shallops
which
were
brought
over
in
quarters
out
of
England
;
and
ordered
the
Coopers
to
trim
and
fit
Water-Casks
:
Besides
,
he
sent
two
Frigats
to
St.
Christophers
and
Mevis
,
for
raising
of
Voluntiers
there
.
In
the
mean
time
,
General
Venables
formed
a
new
Regiment
of
Seamen
to
serve
upon
occasion
at
Land
;
these
were
put
under
the
conduct
of
Vice-Admiral
Goodson
;
the
rest
of
the
Regiments
brought
out
of
England
,
were
easily
compleated
to
a
full
number
;
likewise
a
Troop
of
gallant
Horse
were
raised
by
the
Islanders
,
Hispaniola
and
Jamaica
Expidition
.
at
their
own
cost
and
charges
:
(
the
Carcases
of
which
were
afterwards
buried
in
the
Souldiers
Bellies
,
for
want
of
better
food
.
)
But
these
were
not
all
the
strength
;
for
the
Planters
Servants
understanding
that
if
they
would
serve
the
State
,
their
time
should
still
go
on
,
and
that
at
last
(
in
spight
of
their
Masters
)
they
should
enjoy
their
Freedoms
in
as
ample
a
manner
as
if
they
had
served
them
;
this
spurred
them
on
to
become
Souldiers
of
Fortune
;
and
many
were
presently
listed
into
several
Regiments
accordingly
.
The
Fleet
was
also
augmented
by
twenty
sail
of
Dutch
Vessels
,
which
were
made
prize
for
presuming
to
traffique
with
Prohibited
Goods
,
contrary
to
the
Articles
of
Peace
betwixt
the
two
Nations
.
The
Land-Army
being
now
in
readiness
,
their
number
was
found
to
be
so
great
,
that
every
ships
share
was
as
many
as
it
could
carry
.
March
31
they
set
Sail
from
Barbadoes
,
and
in
six
days
after
came
by
the
Lee
under
St.
Christophers
:
Here
joyned
with
them
about
1300
more
,
which
came
off
from
several
Islands
,
in
hopes
to
be
made
for
ever
:
from
hence
they
shaped
their
course
directly
for
Hispaniola
.
On
the
13
of
April
,
the
whole
Navy
came
fair
by
the
Island
,
and
plainly
discovered
the
sown
of
Sancta
Domingo
:
Immediately
hereupon
a
Council
was
called
,
and
the
Guides
consulted
withal
:
here
it
was
concluded
that
General
Venables
should
to
Land
.
According
to
which
resolution
,
the
next
day
he
landed
about
ten
Leagues
to
the
West-ward
of
the
Town
,
with
7000
Foot
,
a
Troop
of
Horse
,
and
three
days
Provision
of
Victuals
.
No
sooner
were
they
landed
,
but
every
mans
Tongue
was
tipt
with
Gold
;
nothing
could
be
thought
on
,
but
the
plunder
of
Plate
and
Jewels
;
small
things
could
not
enter
their
minds
:
as
for
Hangings
,
Housholdstuff
,
&c.
they
would
be
cumbersome
to
carry
;
and
therefore
they
resolved
to
leave
such
things
behinde
them
.
In
this
extasie
of
joy
was
the
Souldiery
;
when
behold
,
upon
a
sudden
there
appeared
a
Proc●amation
from
the
General
,
commanding
,
that
when
they
entred
the
Town
of
Sancta
Domingo
,
no
man
should
plunder
either
Money
,
Plate
,
or
Jewels
,
neither
kill
any
tame
Cattle
,
on
pain
of
Death
.
This
made
the
Army
look
Sower
on
their
imaginary
Sweetness
;
their
Golden
Hearts
were
now
turned
to
Leaden
Heels
;
so
that
it
was
indifferent
to
them
,
whether
they
went
farther
,
or
tarried
there
:
yet
for
all
this
,
on
they
marched
through
Woods
of
incredible
thickness
,
meeting
no
Enemy
,
except
the
excessive
heat
of
the
Sun
,
which
caused
an
intolerable
drought
,
that
oppressed
them
sorely
,
having
not
had
one
drop
of
Water
in
many
miles
march
,
but
what
they
carried
in
their
own
Bladders
;
so
that
Urine
was
as
White-wine
to
them
that
could
swallow
it
.
General
Pen
,
after
the
landing
of
these
men
,
set
ashore
three
Regiments
more
,
under
the
Command
of
Colonel
Buller
,
in
a
Bay
where
a
fair
Fresh-water-River
disburdened
it self
;
this
was
within
two
Leagues
of
the
Town
,
and
appointed
to
be
the
place
for
conjunction
of
the
whole
Army
.
It
was
not
long
before
the
General
,
(
according
to
the
appointment
)
having
peaceably
past
the
Woods
,
came
to
the
River
,
and
joyned
himself
with
Buller's
Brigade
.
Here
upon
view
,
the
Army
was
sound
to
be
9700
(
but
few
fighting
)
men
.
From
this
River
the
Army
hasted
away
to
take
possession
of
the
Town
,
which
in
imagination
was
already
won
:
there
marched
on
before
the
rest
,
a
Forlorn
Hope
,
consisting
of
500
men
;
afterward
followed
the
main
Body
of
the
Army
.
In
this
order
they
marched
within
four
miles
of
the
Town
,
when
on
the
sudden
,
a
small
party
of
Spaniards
encountered
the
Forlorn
Hope
,
A
sudd●●
and
strange
De●eat
to
the
English
.
and
in
an
instant
forced
them
in
confusion
through
the
next
Regiment
,
which
was
also
routed
:
the
Body
of
the
Army
coming
up
to
their
rescue
,
made
the
Enemy
to
retire
to
a
Fort
hard
by
in
the
Woods
,
without
any
considerable
loss
at
all
to
the
Spaniards
.
On
the
English
side
was
slain
Captain
Cox
,
the
chief
Guide
for
the
place
,
and
many
others
.
The
General
having
now
seen
the
imbecility
of
his
men
,
through
want
of
Water
and
many
other
necessaries
,
he
caused
them
to
march
back
again
to
the
River
,
from
whence
they
came
to
refresh
themselves
,
in
order
to
a
full
prosecution
of
the
designe
in
hand
.
They
Rally
.
To
which
end
,
Scaling-Ladders
were
made
,
and
two
small
Drakes
mounted
,
with
a
Morter-piece
and
Granado-shells
,
which
were
landed
from
the
Fleet
:
these
were
conveyed
by
Water
to
be
set
on
shore
at
a
convenient
place
neer
the
Fort.
All
things
being
now
in
readiness
,
to
try
conclusions
,
the
Army
once
again
dislodged
,
and
were
by
the
Guides
promised
to
be
brought
upon
the
Town
of
St
Domingo
by
a
private
way
,
where
they
might
pass
thorough
the
Woods
free
from
any
Fort.
Such
a
way
there
certainly
was
;
but
these
blinde
Guides
taking
another
to
be
it
,
the
whole
Army
were
brought
neer
to
the
place
where
before
they
had
been
shamefully
repulsed
.
The
Spaniards
in
the
mean
time
having
certain
intelligence
by
Negroes
and
Molattoes
of
the
English
march
,
prepared
to
entertain
them
in
their
passage
.
April
25
,
1655.
the
whole
Army
approached
near
to
a
Fort
which
the
Spaniards
had
in
the
Wood
,
built
of
Brick
,
in
a
triangular
form
,
without
Flankers
:
in
it
were
nine
pieces
of
good
Ordnance
,
and
300
resolute
fellows
to
manage
them
.
The
English
Army
,
a
little
before
noon
,
approaching
neer
this
Fort
,
were
upon
the
sudden
charged
by
a
party
of
the
Enemy
that
lay
undiscovered
among
the
Trees
.
These
resolute
Spaniards
,
being
about
seventy
in
number
,
at
first
fired
a
round
Volley
of
small
shot
upon
the
Forlorn
Hope
,
and
then
flew
in
like
mad-men
with
their
sharp
Steel-Lances
upon
the
English
,
(
who
were
already
even
suffocated
with
Thirst
,
and
hardly
able
to
stand
,
much
less
to
fight
)
so
that
in
a
moment
the
General
's
running-Regiment
,
And
are
again
Defeated
by
the
Spaniards
.
with
half
the
Army
,
flew
back
to
the
Rear
,
and
possest
their
fellows
there
with
such
a
Pannick
fear
,
that
every
one
began
to
shift
for
himself
.
Mean
while
the
Spaniards
pursued
the
Victory
with
the
greatest
slaughter
they
were
able
to
make
:
for
meeting
with
no
resistance
,
(
but
what
that
ever-Renowned
Gentleman
Major-General
Hayns
was
able
to
make
with
twelve
men
,
(
whom
he
engaged
by
the
honour
of
their
Country
)
one
whereof
was
Ensigne
Boys
,
who
died
not
unrevenged
in
the
midst
of
their
Enemies
)
they
wreaked
their
fury
at
pleasure
on
these
frighted
men
;
till
at
last
,
being
overcome
with
killing
,
they
retreated
back
in
Triumph
with
seven
English
Colours
,
the
evident
Trophies
of
their
Victory
.
The
retreat
of
the
Enemy
gave
opportunity
for
the
Living
to
number
the
Dead
.
Upon
view
,
it
was
found
that
600
were
slain
outright
,
300
Wounded
,
(
most
in
their
backs
)
and
besides
200
more
crept
into
Bushes
,
and
ran
away
to
save
themselves
;
which
afterward
were
knockt
on
the
head
by
Negroes
and
Molattoes
.
Upon
this
sad
disaster
,
the
Army
that
night
drew
up
nearer
the
Spanish
Fort
,
as
if
they
intended
some
mighty
matters
;
and
having
planted
a
Morter-piece
in
a
convenient
plot
of
ground
,
and
all
things
being
ready
to
do
Execution
on
the
Fort
;
upon
a
sudden
the
Souldiers
were
ordered
to
draw
off
:
So
the
Army
without
doing
any
thing
marched
away
to
their
old
Watering-place
in
the
Bay
.
To
what
intent
and
purpose
this
was
,
could
never
yet
be
comprehended
.
The
Army
being
come
into
the
Bay
,
had
not
that
supply
of
Victuals
from
the
ships
as
formerly
,
but
were
necessitated
by
parties
to
go
into
the
Woods
to
catch
Cattle
,
which
many
times
cost
them
dear
:
for
the
Negroes
instead
of
hunting
Cows
,
would
oftentimes
change
their
Game
,
and
breathe
them
back
again
to
their
Quarters
.
These
things
brought
the
Army
to
such
distress
,
that
(
fearing
to
fight
for
Food
abroad
)
they
exercised
their
Valour
at
home
upon
the
Troop-horses
belonging
to
their
own
Army
.
Thus
did
they
continue
for
some
days
,
till
a
resolution
was
taken
to
Imbarque
them
,
and
with
all
speed
to
make
for
Iamaica
.
May
the
third
day
,
(
all
the
remaining
part
of
the
Army
being
shipped
without
the
least
disturbance
from
the
Spaniard
)
the
Fleet
set
sail
for
the
aforesaid
Island
.
This
disastrous
defeat
was
rightly
imputable
to
these
foregoing
causes
;
Considerations
of
this
defeat
.
but
there
were
others
also
,
as
namely
the
Discipline
,
or
rather
the
Licentiousness
and
Debauchery
of
those
Auxiliary-Islanders
;
a
crue
of
such
dissolute
Fellows
,
that
were
fitter
to
work
and
slave
in
the
Mines
,
than
to
fight
for
the
Gold
.
But
they
did
not
alone
frustrate
the
assured
hopes
of
Victory
,
(
for
it
is
supposed
they
were
not
listed
but
for
number
,
and
to
make
Drudges
)
but
made
the
defeat
far
more
miserable
,
by
eating
up
the
Provisions
designed
for
the
Army
,
who
were
set
on
shore
very
weak
and
feeble
,
at
so
strange
and
unreasonable
distance
,
when
the
advice
was
they
should
have
landed
at
the
Bay
of
Domingo
,
while
the
Spaniard
was
in
his
Cups
,
and
the
Town
overflowed
with
Drink
and
Gladness
for
the
arrival
of
their
Fleet
thither
,
they
supposing
this
Armada
of
ours
to
be
their
own
about
that
time
expected
.
There
was
such
a
complication
of
errours
and
misfortunes
,
through
the
insufficiency
and
ill
Conduct
of
the
General
,
to
say
no
worse
,
and
the
faintness
of
the
Souldier
,
caused
by
the
carelessness
of
their
Friends
,
who
should
better
have
Provisioned
them
,
and
the
terrour
of
their
Enemies
,
besides
the
scorching
heat
of
the
Sand
,
which
made
it
painful
to
stand
or
go
,
that
hardly
any
Expedition
in
History
can
parallel
it
;
for
they
were
beaten
in
a
manner
without
a
Blow
.
Yet
these
miseries
were
not
at
an
end
;
it
was
not
yet
easily
resolvable
what
should
be
done
with
this
frighted
and
pestering
multitude
;
for
all
the
Victual
was
spent
,
and
it
was
impossible
to
turn
to
Windward
with
such
a
company
and
so
little
sustenance
:
and
some
thoughts
there
were
of
abandoning
this
impotent
wretched
Crue
,
and
return
to
the
Barbadoes
;
but
it
was
their
kinde
and
undeserved
fate
that
proposed
the
Island
of
Iamaica
,
whither
on
the
3
of
May
they
directed
their
course
,
and
without
any
opposition
Landed
;
there
being
a
resolution
made
by
the
Council
of
War
,
(
to
prevent
the
like
Cowardise
)
that
if
any
man
turned
his
back
to
the
Enemy
,
his
Bringer-up
should
kill
him
.
The
Spaniards
having
no
intelligence
of
the
late
overthrow
at
Hispaniola
,
nor
indeed
suspecting
any
Hostility
,
fled
away
at
the
approach
of
this
formidable
Army
,
and
withdrew
their
Goods
;
their
pretended
Governour
staving
off
the
English
with
a
Treaty
,
while
all
was
conveyed
away
into
the
Woods
,
whither
parties
were
sent
,
to
follow
and
to
kill
Cattle
for
the
Army
,
of
which
they
found
very
good
,
and
good
store
,
without
any
fighting
:
which
no
doubt
was
a
great
comfort
,
and
gave
them
time
to
recover
their
Spirits
;
so
that
afterwards
they
dreaded
not
a
Molatto
,
as
they
lighted
upon
them
in
parties
in
those
Forrests
of
Cedar
,
and
other
excellent
Physical
and
useful
Trees
;
where
for
a
while
we
leave
them
.
At
home
another
Portugal
Embassador
arrived
,
and
brought
a
Ratification
of
the
Treaty
;
that
King
having
consented
to
the
Damages
adjusted
in
one
of
the
Articles
thereof
.
A
Commission
passed
under
the
Seal
likewise
for
the
Tryal
of
those
Western
Gentlemen
taken
at
Southmolton
;
two
of
whom
,
Colonel
Penruddock
and
Iones
,
being
brought
up
from
Exeter
,
were
Examined
here
by
Cromwel
;
but
nothing
could
be
extracted
to
the
prejudice
of
their
Confederates
,
whose
Estates
he
aimed
at
;
and
so
they
were
re-guarded
to
their
former
Custody
.
James
Duke
of
Richmond
dieth
.
In
the
interim
whereof
,
Iames
the
noble
Duke
of
Richmond
died
of
a
Quartan
Ague
,
that
had
held
him
above
a
year
,
contracted
as
't
is
supposed
from
a
continued
and
Consumptive
grief
for
the
King
and
his
Affairs
;
nor
was
he
ever
in
any
healthful
condition
since
the

During

lay
in

parts

was
thought
the
main
aim
of
our
preparation

and
was
therefore
much
feared

now
at

the

who
defended
Maestricht
so
bravely
some
time
before
against
the
Prince
of
Aurange
,
was
sent
Embassador
to
the
Protector
,
that
the
honourableness
of
his
Person
might
gratifie
Cromwel's
ambition
of
Courtship
,
and
sweeten
him
to
the
Friendship
and
Alliance
he
had
in
his
Instructions
to
offer
,
and
more
easily
to
insinuate
into
the
mystery
of
this
conjunct
designe
.
He
was
nobly
attended
,
besides
a
numerous
train
of
Lacqueys
in
silver
and
Green
Livery
,
and
had
Audience
May
5
,
and
continued
his
Complement
and
Cabal
together
the
space
of
five
Weeks
,
in
which
time
most
of
the
action
had
passed
in
America
;
and
returned
unsatisfied
,
and
re
infecta
,
though
dismist
with
more
than
ordinary
respects
,
about
the
middle
of
Iune
.
Now
happened
an
occasion
,
or
rather
Cromwel
made
it
one
,
for
him
to
shew
his
zeal
to
the
Protestant
Cause
,
and
to
shew
himself
to
the
World
the
Champion
or
Hector
thereof
:
this
was
also
one
secret
step
and
reach
to
the
Crown
,
by
invading
the
sacred
Title
of
the
Defender
of
the
Faith
,
due
onely
to
the
Hereditary
Soveraigns
of
England
.
Herein
also
he
aimed
,
as
in
the
Proverb
,
to
hit
two
Birds
with
one
Stone
,
not
doubting
but
to
finde
another
Mine
in
the
Charitable
mindes
and
compassion
of
this
Nation
towards
the
parallel
suffering
of
the
old
Waldenses
in
Piedmont
to
the
Irish
Massacres
;
Cromwel
pretends
to
compassionate
the
Waldenses
.
which
were
set
out
and
drest
here
with
greater
skill
of
Butchery
than
the
actors
could
handsomely
do
it
there
;
and
it
was
said
the
Copy
was
drawn
from
that
Original
.
Most
certain
it
is
,
that
they
were
in
Rebellion
,
and
that
the
Duke
of
Savoy
their
Soveraign
did
chastise
them
to
their
Obedience
,
though
the
Marquess
Pianella
a
very
zealous
Catholick
,
and
the
Earl
of
Quince
the
French
Kings
Lieutenant-General
of
his
Italian
Armies
,
then
joyned
with
that
Dukes
,
(
and
stranger-Souldiers
have
little
regard
to
any
Religion
,
where
they
may
ravage
without
controle
)
might
exceed
their
Commiss●on
in
inflicting
the
extremity
of
War
,
which
they
had
brought
upon
themselves
,
and
were
before
also
odious
,
more
than
enough
to
their
Catholick
Neighbours
.
Whatever
the
matter
was
,
Cromwel
takes
the
Massacre
for
granted
,
enjoyns
a
Fast
,
and
at
the
close
of
that
,
a
Collection
;
not
limited
and
terminated
in
the
liberal
contributions
in
the
Church
at
the
Bason
,
but
the
Collectors
and
other
Officers
of
the
Parish
,
with
the
Minister
,
were
to
go
from
door
to
door
,
and
stir
up
the
Richer
sort
to
a
chearful
Contribution
;
which
indeed
was
very
forwardly
and
charitably
given
and
intended
:
and
forthwith
Mr.
(
now
Sir
Samuel
)
Moreland
,
one
of
Mr.
Thurloe's
Secretaries
,
was
sent
away
as
Envoy
to
the
Court
of
Savoy
:
Mr.
Moreland
in
Savoy
.
Mr.
Pell
was
dispatcht
to
the
Protestant
Cantons
of
Switzerland
upon
the
same
account
;
and
Mr.
(
now
Sir
George
)
Downing
was
sent
after
Mr.
Moreland
,
by
the
way
of
France
,
where
he
began
the
complaint
,
and
proceeded
.
All
those
three
met
together
at
Geneva
,
to
advise
with
that
State
how
to
manage
this
importance
of
Religion
:
but
Mr.
Downing
never
pursued
this
Project
farther
,
being
remanded
hence
to
go
Secretary
of
the
Council
newly
made
for
Scotland
.
Pell
was
s●nt
of
his
form●r
errand
to
the
Cantons
,
and
Mr.
Moreland
returned
to
Turin
to
the
Duke's
Court
;
where
perceiving
this
fraud
of
Cromwel
,
it
was
no
great
matter
to
bring
him
over
soon
after
to
the
Kings
service
,
in
which
he
continued
.
Alderman
Viner
and
Pack
were
made
Treasurers
for
this
Money
,
which
amounted
to
a
very
large
sum
,
and
reaching
the
designe
of
the
Protector
;
a
small
parcel
whereof
was
now
remitted
to
Geneva
,
the
French
King
having
newly
before
accommodated
the
business
,
the
Duke
refusing
to
admit
Cromwel's
Mediation
.
By
this
conclusion
the
truth
appeared
;
for
in
the
very
liminary
words
,
they
acknowledged
the
Rebellion
in
express
terms
,
and
begged
pardon
of
their
gracious
Lord
his
Royal
Highness
;
which
was
here
imputed
and
charged
to
the
preva●ication
and
collusion
of
the
Cantons
Mediation
,
and
the
three
Pastors
their
Commissioners
in
that
affair
.
There
was
one
Artifice
of
the
Protectors
to
set
this
business
forward
,
and
to
countenance
it
,
omitted
,
which
was
,
Addresses
from
the
Army
here
and
abroad
,
offering
their
service
in
this
common
Cause
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
no
way
doubting
but
that
God
in
his
due
time
would
confound
those
Enemies
of
his
People
,
as
he
had
shewn
his
Salvation
by
themselves
in
the
same
Controversie
to
that
day
.
Several
Fires
yet
burst
out
in
many
parts
of
the
Kingdome
;
one
in
Barnaby-street
in
Southwark
;
and
new
diseases
were
most
rife
and
mortal
.
This
Easter-Term
,
one
Mr.
George
Coney
a
Merchant
having
been
committed
by
the
Commissioners
of
the
Customes
to
the
Serjeant
at
Arms
,
for
refusing
to
obey
their
Orders
and
Fine
set
,
for
not
paying
the
dues
of
some
Merchandizes
,
brought
his
Habeas
Corpus
in
the
Kings-Bench
,
where
he
intended
to
disprove
the
Authority
and
Legality
of
his
Commitment
,
and
baffle-their
Warrant
.
To
this
purpose
Serjeant
Maynard
,
Serj.
Maynard
,
&c.
to
the
Tower
.
Twisden
,
and
Mr.
Wadham
Windham
were
retained
of
Counsel
by
him
;
who
pleading
such
matters
for
their
Client
,
as
entrenched
upon
the
Protector
's
pretensions
,
and
his
Publicans
Power
in
that
place
,
(
into
which
profitable
Employment
they
had
scrued
themselves
,
by
a
pretence
of
serving
the
publick
gratis
,
and
without
any
Salary
)
were
instantly
committed
to
the
Tower
,
to
consider
better
of
Cromwel's
Prerogative
,
and
to
help
his
Jaylor
Berkstead
the
Lieutenant
thereof
with
the
Fees
of
that
chargeable
Imprisonment
,
where
no
Habeas
Corpus
would
be
allowed
,
except
upon
the
Knee
;
their
enlargement
being
granted
upon
their
Petition
and
Submission
to
the
Usurper
.
Those
and
the
like
Forces
and
violences
in
the
Law
,
and
the
fear
of
infaming
the
Bench
and
his
own
Credit
,
made
Chief-Justice
Rolles
relinquish
his
place
,
and
sue
for
a
Quietus
est
;
just
as
old
Sir
Henry
Vane
deceased
,
entailing
his
Estate
upon
his
Grand-son
,
as
divining
what
his
Son
(
with
whom
he
died
in
feud
)
would
come
to
.
General
Blake
was
yet
in
the
Streights
,
demanding
satisfaction
of
the
Algier-Pirates
for
the
depredations
committed
on
the
English
,
and
required
the
delivery
of
the
Captives
of
our
Nation
,
whose
number
was
very
great
:
but
neither
of
these
would
be
hearkned
to
;
whereupon
Blake
sent
in
a
threatning
Message
;
to
which
they
returned
in
scorn
and
contempt
this
Answer
:
—
Here
are
our
Castles
of
Guletto
,
and
Castles
of
Porta
Ferino
,
do
what
you
can
;
do
ye
think
we
fear
the
shew
of
your
Fleet
?
A
Council
of
War
being
called
upon
this
daring
affront
,
it
was
resolved
to
Burn
those
ships
in
Ferino
,
in
defiance
of
their
Stone-line
Forts
,
and
Castles

furnished
with
Ordinance
,

ships
,
with
their
seconds
,
coming
within
Musquet-shot
of
the
Castle
and

,
which
in
two
hours
time
they
rendred
defenceless
,
dismounting
all
the
Great
Guns
,
and
clattering
the
Stones
so
about
their
Ears
,
that
the
Enemy
abandoned
them
,
having
seen
their
nine
Ships
and
Frigats
burning
in
the
mean
time
;
which
was
done
by
Boats
from
every
ship
during
this
hot
service
,
atchieved
in
this
honourable
manner
.
Blake
set
sail
again
to
the
same
place
,
and
renewed
his
Demand
,
and
was
Answered
in
another
strain
,
that
not
Ours

now
Those
,
were
the
Castles
and
ships
of
the
Grand
Seigniour

An

from

and

Kingdom
was
re-peopled
.
An
Agent
that
had
come
hither
from
Ragotski
Prince
of
Transilvania
,
now
departed
;
the
Conspiracy
betwixt
whom
and
the
King
of
Sweden
,
and
the
Swede
and
Cromwel
,
was
just
ripe
for
Execution
.
For
the
terrible
news
came
,
The
King
of
Sweden
in
Poland
.
that
Carolus
Gustavus
with
an
Army
of
20000
Swedes
was
landed
in
Pomerania
,
and
fallen
into
Poland
;
and
that
the
Palatinate
of
Posen
had
submitted
,
and
the
Vice-Chancellor
Radzikousky
was
come
in
and
complied
with
that
King
;
and
little
doubt
was
made
of
his
over-running
that
Kingdom
:
the
like
Treachery
and
other
divisions
among
the
discontented
Nobility
opening
him
a
way
.
Cromwel's
reach
in
this
War
was
to
divert
the
Emperour
(
who
was
arming
apace
in
aid
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
defence
of
the
House
of
Austria
against
the
French
(
as
foreseeing
also
the
rupture
of
the
Peace
with
the
Spaniard
by
Cromwel
)
in
the
Low-Countries
,
and
a
Peace
once
by
this
ballance
effected
,
to
espouse
the
quarrel
of
our
King
:
)
to
the
same
purpose
the
Transilvanian
was
engaged
,
who
like
a
stormy
Cloud
hung
over
the
Imperial
Dominions
;
so
that
no
assistance
could
be
had
from
this
part
of
the
World
.
This
highly
disappointed
the
Spaniard
,
and
retarded
those
hopes
of
our
King
,
in
order
to
his
Restitution
by
Arms.
He
was
yet
at
Colen
,
and
caressed
by
several
Princes
,
who
Honoured
his
Privacy
:
among
many
others
,
the
Landtgrave
of
Hessen
gave
him
an
honourable
Visit
,
and
Prince
Rupert
,
returned
from
the
Emperour
,
gave
him
his
due
attendance
,
to
evidence
that
the
Relation
of
a
King
in
some
such
cases
may
be
without
a
Kingdome
or
Subjects
.
A
Swedish
Embassador
.
A
Swedish
Embassador
Named
Christian
Bond
arrived
here
neer
the
same
time
,
and
was
in
great
State
received
,
according
to
the
Amplitude
of
his
Highness
:
and
Rolt
a
Bed-chamber-man
of
this
Altess
was
sent
recipocrally
to
the
King
of
Sweden
;
but
was
neer
quitting
the
Cost
of
his
Journey
by
a
terrible
Storm
.
About
the
time

came

of
the
King
at
Colen
,
(
in
which
parts
he
was
no
stranger
)
broke
Prison
and
escaped
likewise
.
From
the
noble
Exploit
of
Porta
Ferino
,
Blake
sailed
to
Cadiz
and
those
parts
of
Spain
,
where
he
found
that
the
Armada
of
Spain
was
at
Sea
,
to
look
after
the
arrival
of
their
India-Fleet
;
and
it
fell
out
that
the
English
and
Spaniards
met
together
in
those
Seas
,
the
Spaniards
being
32
ships
in
all
;
but
no
quarrel
happened
,
for
neither
had
Commission
to
right
.
The
same
indifferent
(
but
more
cowardly
)
temper
at
the
same
instant
(
in
August
)
made
the
Iamaica-Fleet
(
returning
home
)
suffer
the
longed-for
Plate-Fleet
to
pass
untought
,
when
discovered
in
the
Gulf
of
Florida
upon
their
Voyage
to
Spain
;
so
that
none
of
the
Fates
were
wanting
to
make
this
the
most
unglorious
undertaking
of
the
English
.
Upon
a
resolution
taken
by
a
Council
of
War
at
Iamaica
,
the
greatest
part
of
the
Fleet
under
General
Pen
set
sail
for
England
,
and
neer
half
way
home
lost
the
Paragon
a
Navy-ship
by
fire
;
none
of
that
company
daring
to
come
in
to
her

,
because
of
her
Powder
;
so
that
neer
140
men
were
lost
by
fire
and

;
those
that
could
swim
escaped
,
being
taken
up
by

Upon

coming

encrease
of

for
the
cause

they
were
both
Committed
to
the

to
satisfie
the
expectation
of
the
people

more
than
any
intention
of
bringing
Venables
to
an
account
for
this
base
and
dishonourable
Expedition
.
The

now
regested

retorted
upon

Enemies

party
was
very
well
pleased
with
this
disgrace
done
to
Oliver

reception
given
them

The
Prince
Elector
of
Heidelburgh
,
with
Prince
Rupert
,
gave
her
likewise
a
visit
in
this
Town
,
and
had
the
same
converse
with
her
:
Both
the
King
and
She
were
invited
by
him
to
Heidelburgh
,
but
they
took
several
ways
;
for
his
Majesty
having
continued
some
time
at
Frankfort
,
where
the
States
and
Deputies
of
the
Empire
were
assembled
,
to
finish
what
was
left
at
the
Diet
,
(
the
Kings
business
there
depending
before
that
Assembly
)
and
having
been
splendidly
entertained
,
He
is
honourably
treated
by
the
Prince
Elector
of
Mentz
.
(
as
in
all
places
of
Germany
where
he
came
)
and
there
received
an
honourable
pressing
invitation
from
the
Prince
Elector
of
Mentz
,
by
his
Earl-Marshal
,
who
was
sent
on
the
Embassie
with
a
Train
to
conduct
him
from
Frankfort
,
d●parted
thence
with
the
noise
of
the
Cannon
,
and
the
Volleys
and
Acclamations
of
the
Citizens
,
and
arrived
at
Mentz
,
having
been
feasted
at
a
magnificent
Supper
in
a
Village
by
the
way
;
whence
next
morning
in
all
the
State
that
Prince
could
set
out
or
furnish
his
entrance
with
,
the
King
departed
for
Mentz
,
and
was
there
entertained
two
or
three
days
with
an
Expence
befitting
his
Dignity
,
and
diverted
with
all
honourable
Recreations
;
and
with
the
same
Grandeurs
departed
for
Colen
.
Most
abominable
impudent
scandals
were
Printed
in
the
News-Book
here
of
the
King
,
and
the
meanness
of
those
Respects
done
him
;
when
it
is
most
true
,
greater
Honours
were
not
done
to
any
Prince
in
the
World
;
so
much
did
the
injury
of
his
Condition
advance

(
who
would

be
doing
in
Religious
Plots
as
well
as

with
all
the
Churches
of

,
about
an
Agreement

Union

and
that
the
Doctrine
might
be
one
and
the
same
;
and
that
his
Highness
desired
to
be
Instrumental
in
such
a
Pious
Work
of
general
Communion
:
but
the
main
of
his
Mission
being
to
set
forth

An
Embassador

Cromwel

this
Will
in
the
Wisp
vanished
and
returned
for
England
;
whither
an
Embassador
from
Venice
,
that
had
layn
some
while
here
incognito
,
appeared
in
that
quality

in

room
of

did
notably
complement
Cromwel

his

of
that

On
the
24
of
October
,
the
French
Peace
having
been
some
while
before
concluded
,
was
solemnly
Proclaimed
;
first
in
the
Court
at
White-hall
,
next
at
Temple-Bar
,
and
so
in
other
places
:
French
peace
concluded
,
Octob.

and
Monsieur
De
Bourdeaux
the
French
Embassador
next
day
treated
at
Dinner
by
the
Protector
.
In
this
Treaty
the
Royal
Family
of
England
,
The
Royal
Family
of
England
Excluded
.
all
but
the
Queen-Mother
,
were
totally
Excluded
,
though
the
Duke
of
York
still
continued
at
Paris
,
(
till
after
the
arrival
of
Lockhart
Cromwel's
Embassador
thither
soon
after
)
when
he
departed
for
Brussels
,
having
been
complementally
invited
to
the
next
Summers
Campagnia
.
Thus
Corruptio
unius
est
generatio
alterius
,
the
Spanish
Peace
was
all
to
pieces
;
for
the
same
day
that
the
French
Peace
was
Proclaimed
,
an
Embargo
was
laid
upon
all
Goods
in
the
Canaries
,
The
Spaniard
declare
a
war
with
England
.
and
the
Spanish
Embassador
Don
Alonso
de
Cardenas
departed
hence
,
and
by
Gravesend
shipt
himself
for
Flanders
;
and
a
Trader
at
Vigo
in
Spain
was
taken
and
seized
;
and
a
Declaration
of
War
published
by
that
King
:
Whereupon
,
Cromwel
presently
erected
a
Committee
of
Trade
,
of
which
his
Son
and
Heir
apparent
,
Richard
,
was
the
first
named
,
to
consult
how
to
manage
and
secure
it
.
An
Embargo
was
likewise
soon
after
laid
here
upon
all
ships
,
and
one
Mr.
Maynard
dispatcht
to
the
King
of
Portugal
,
to
make
sure
of
his
Ports
,
and
with
some
other
intrigues
:
a
Fleet
was
likewise
preparing
to
set
out
to
Sea
,
and
the
Footing
in
Iamaica
resolved
to
be
kept
:
Maj.
Sedgewick
and
Colonel
Humphries
,
with
a
Squadron
of
ships
,
and
a
Regiment
to
1000
fresh
men
,
having
toucht
at
Barbadoes
,
being
landed
there
now
;
where
Sedgewick
sent
to
Command
in
chief
,
with
Colonel
Fortescue
of
the
old
,
and
most
of
the
new
comers
died
of
the
Infection
that
was
among
them
:
Humphries
with
much
ado
,
and
danger
of
Death
,
returned
home
in
safety
.
This
Humphries
was
the
Son
of
him
that
carried
the
Sword
before
Bradshaw
at
the
High
Court
.
With
the
commencement
of
this
Rupture
,
the
Protector
began
new
practises
against
the
Cavalier-party
,
whose
Interest
and
Spirit
against
his
Government
was
as
high
as
ever
.
He
had
foreseen
,
that
by
this
Peace
,
the
King
onely
shifted
and
changed
that
storm
from
one
quarter
to
another
,
and
was
as
yet
as
neer
as
ever
,
and
in
a
more
opportune
and
advantageous
posture
,
for
that
the
King
of
Spain
and
he
would
certainly
concur
against
him
,
and
so
the
Low
Countries
,
his
Provinces
and
Ports
,
be
open
and
at
the
service
of
our
Soveraign
;
therefore
his
party
was
by
all
all
ways
,
how
unjust
and
Tyrannical
soever
,
to
be
crusht
and
supprest
.
The
Loyal
Clergie
supprest
.
It
began
with
the
Clergy
,
who
were
neither
to
keep
School
nor
Cure
,
nor
be
Chaplains
,
except
they
gave
signal
Testimony
of
their
Apostacy
from
the
Church
:
It
next
extended
to
all
sorts
of
men
,
the
reviving
Act
of
1652.
forbidding
all
Royalists
,
or
such
as
meant
well
to
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
in
their
subscription
to
the
p●rsonal
Treaty
in
1648.
by
a
new
Proclamation
to
that
purpose
,
from
giving
voices
of
Electing
,
or
to
be
Elected
themselves
,
upon
their
utmost
peril
.
Then
came
out
a
Declaration
for
Decimating
such
who
were
actually
in
Arms
,
and
to
shew
the
reasons
of
such
proceedings
against
them
.
Cromwel
therein
taking
it
for
granted
,
that
the
whole
Mass
of
them
were
engaged
in
the
late
d●signe
of
Penruddock's
;
and
observing
their
malignity
to
the
Government
,
by
their
refusing
to
match
their
Relations
but
within
themselves
,
and
so
to
propagate
the
Quarrel
from
one
generation
to
another
:
that
they
supplied
their
King
(
as
they
called
him
)
with
Money
:
that
their
Clergy
were
as
refractory
as
ever
;
and
that
therefore
since
by
them
the
Peace
so
endangered
could
not
be
kept
,
nor
the
Cause
and
the
well-affected
s●cured
but
by
keeping
up
a
standing
Army
by
a
constant
pay
;
it
was
requisite
the
charge
should
be
born
by
those
who
caused
it
.
●●omwel
〈◊〉
a
new
Authority
Aut●●●y
.
For
the
better
dispatch
of
this
affair
,
He
had
erected
a
new
Military
Authority
,
like
the
Turkish
Bashaws
,
distributed
into
several
Provinces
or
Counties
,
with
an
unbounded
power
;
England
being
now
cantoned
into
this
Hendecarchy
,
viz.
Kent
and
Surrey
under
Colonel
Kelsey
;
Sussex
,
Hampshire
,
and
Berkshire
under
Goff
;
Gloucester-shire
,
Wilts
,
Dorset
,
Somerset
,
Devon
,
and
Cornwal
,
under
Colonel
Desborough
;
Oxford-shire
,
Buckingham
,
Hartford
,
Cambridge
,
Isle
of
Ely
,
Essex
,
Norfolk
and
Suffolk
under
Lieutenant-General
Fleetwood
;
London
,
under
Major-General
Skippon
;
Lincoln-shire
,
Nottingham
,
Derby
,
Warwick
,
and
Leicester
,
under
Whaley
;
Northampton-shire
,
Bedford
,
Rutland
,
and
Huntington
,
under
one
Major
Butler
;
Worcester-shire
,
Hereford
,
Shropshire
,
and
North-Wales
,
under
Colonel
Berry
;
Cheshire
,
Lancashire
,
and
Stafford
,
under
Colonel
Worsely
;
York-shire
,
Durham
,
Cumberland
,
Northumberland
,
and
Westmerland
,
under
Lord
Lambert
;
Westminster
,
and
Middlesex
,
under
Colonel
Berkstead
.
Their
Commission
was
to
take
a
Roll
and
account
of
all
suspected
persons
of
the
Kings
party
;
and
such
as
were
actually
so
,
to
receive
security
of
them
,
in
which
they
were
to
be
bound
to
act
nothing
against
the
Government
,
and
to
reveal
all
Plots
that
should
come
to
their
knowledge
:
they
were
to
suppress
all
Horse-races
,
Cock-matches
,
and
other
concourses
of
people
;
to
secure
the
Highways
,
to
take
engagement
from
Royalists
for
their
Servants
and
Children
;
and
those
that
did
not
so
,
nor
give
security
,
to
commit
to
prison
;
and
to
rate
and
receive
Money
rising
from
this
Decimation
.
In
short
,
there
was
nothing
which
they
might
not
do
,
nor
which
they
did
not
;
such
an
Arbitrary
vast
power
they
had
from
the
Protector
.
To
this
purpose
a
Fast
was
kept
by
the
charitable
Gentlemen
,
and
an
Office
was
erected
here
in
London
,
called
the
Major-Generals-Office
,
somewhere
in
Fleet-street
,
as
other
Courts
had
,
where
these
Recognizances
were
entred
,
and
all
other
the
like
Affairs
,
Dependencies
,
and
concerns
thereof
entred
and
Recorded
.
By
this
means
the
Tyrant
intended
to
inform
himself
of
the
value
and
quality
of
every
Estate
and
Person
,
together
with
the
number
of
that
Party
in
every
County
throughout
the
Kingdom
.
Most
of
those
Loyal
persons
formerly
secured
,
were
hereupon
set
at
Liberty
;
but
by
another
twenty-mile-Proclamation
driven
into
the
Country
,
into
the
bounds
of
the
several
Major-Generals
,
who
presently
took
Cognizance
of
them
,
and
summoned
them
to
their
respective
Residences
:
they
sate
sometimes
without
,
other
times
with
some
of
the
old
Committees
,
where
they
received
accounts
of
Estates
,
which
were
rated
to
the
tenth
peny
yearly
.
Some
bought
off
that
Tax
and
incumbrance
by
a
present
Sum
,
at
three
years
purchase
;
which
was
very
acceptable
,
for
Money
was
the
thing
the
Usurper
wanted
:
others
looked
for
a
nearer
Redemption
,
and
to
be
constrained
to
that
payment
.
The
well-affected
and
Godly
people
still
voiced
this
to
be
a
just
and
reasonable
Imposition
;
for
when
should
they
be
at
quiet
,
and
enjoy
themselves
in
the
Goods
they
had
got
,
free
from
the
interrupting
endeavour
of
this
old
and
restless
Enemy
?
so
that
there
wanted
not
Abettors
and
Assistants
to
this
most
Religious
work
of
the
Major-Generals
;
who
had
ordered
in
the
first
place
,
that
no
Royalist
should
keep
or
wear
either
Arms
offensive
or
defensive
,
Royalists
forbid
to
wear
Arms.
but
straightways
deliver
them
;
so
that
they
lay
at
the
mercy
of
whomsoever
they
met
,
and
at
the
discretion
and
charity
of
whosoever
resorted
to
their
Houses
,
for
what
they
had
left
.
Several
persons
were
apprehended
again
,
for
breach
of
the
20
miles
Proclamation
,
and
other
Loyal
guilt
,
and
committed
to
a
neglected
restraint
to
the
Marshal
at
St.
Iames's
,
which
yet
continued
a
Goal
;
three
of
whom
being
spent
almost
with
the
charge
and
tediousness
of
their
Confinement
,
endeavoured
an
escape
,
having
obtained
of
the
Marshal's
Wife
the
liberty
of
walking
in
the
Park
with
a
Souldier
,
who
withstanding
their
endeavour
of
escape
,
Mr.
Davison
,
&c.
escapes
at
St.
James's
.
(
and
being
hair-brain'd
,
resolved
to
hinder
their
flight
)
was
by
them
,
after
several
warnings
of
the
mischief
,
if
he
yet
held
them
,
as
one
of
them
he
did
,
shot
in
the
Arm
with
a
Pistol
,
They
kill
a
Souldier
,
and
are
retaken
:
are
Indicted
for
Murther
,
but
found
guilty
onely
of
Man-slaughter
.
whereof
he
died
.
This
bustle
brought
in
other
Souldiers
,
who
took
them
again
.
They
were
tried
for
this
Murther
(
as
the
Indictment
run
)
at
the
Upper
Bench
,
before
Chief-Justice
Glyn
,
and
by
a
serious
Jury
found
onely
Guilty
of
Man-slaughter
;
at
which
the
Court
seemed
much
incensed
,
and
Chief-Justice
Glyn
in
a
seeming
anger
discharged
the
honest
Foreman
of
the
Jury
,
one
Mr.
William
Sanderson
of
Shoreditch
,
from
all
Service
thereafter
.
It
madded
Cromwel
the
rather
,
because
Mr.
Davison
(
the
other
two
were
Mr.
Henry
Holder
,
and
Mr.
Robert
Thorold
)
was
highly
suspected
of
Colonel
Rainsborough's
Death
.
Cromwel
was
resolved
to
have
Money
one
way
or
other
,
and
therefore
besides
the
late
rapine
of
Decimation
,
and
the
Piedmont-Sacriledge
,
(
for
the
speedier
bringing
in
of
which
Money
,
he
had
appointed
a
great
and
numerous
Committee
,
who
were
to
credit
the
receipt
)
now
he
would
venture
upon
a
greater
impiety
,
to
the
derogation
of
the
Saviour
of
the
World
:
that
nothing
might
be
wanting
to
fill
up
the
measure
of
his
Wickedness
,
he
had
dealt
underhand
with
some
Agents
from
the
Nation
of
the
Iews
,
Cromwel
and
the
Jews
treat
about
a
Toleration
.
Manasseh

Israel

Agent

who
had
proposed
a
Toleration

their
own

,
their
Burying-places
,
the
revocation
of
all
Laws
and
Statutes
against
them
,
protection
from
,
the
fealty
to
him
;
and
had
strengthned
the
reason
of
this
with
a
round
sum
of
Money
.
Cromwel
wanted
not
plausible
Arguments
of
his
own
,
from
the
hopeful
juncture
of
time
of
making
the
flock
of
Christ
but
one
Fold
;
and
others
cited
places
of
Scripture
:
several
Conferences
were
held
about
it
before
him
,
Note
that
it
cost
the
people
of
England
a
whole
fifteenth
to
get
them
expelled
,
in
Ed.
r.
with
the
Judges
,
as
Steel
,
&c.
and
Ministers
,
as
Ienkins
,
Manton
,
&c.
who
being
not
satisfied
with
what
appeared
from
the
arguments
of
Manasseh
Ben
Israel
the
Jewish
Agent
,
the
publick
admission
of
them
was
laid
aside
,
and
the
Iews
gull'd
of
their
Money
they
had
upon
that
account
already
paid
.
The
Ships
at
Iamaica
had
been
roving
abroad
,
and
burnt
St.
Martha
,
and
took
some
spoil
,
while
Doyley
the
Commander
in
chief
by
Land
had
made
some
Inroads
into
the
Country
under
Colonel
Wood
,
and
was
building
or
planting
a
new
Town
at
Cagway-Point

In
Scotland
,
new
Commissioners
were
added
for

and
to
prevent
their
frauds
in
the
purchasing
thereof
,
a
New
great
and
Privy-Seal
and
Signet
was
likewise
sent
down
thither
from
England
,
and
the
Protestors
and
Resolution-men
continued
at

now
by

abated

having
continued

years

The
Princess
of
Aurange
departed
by
the
way
of
Antwerp
,
and
Peronne
in
France
,
in
Ianuary
,
to
visit
her
Mother
at
Paris
:
and
the
King
preparing
according
to
invitation
to
go
into
Flanders
,
where
neer
Lovain
,
in
February
,
he
privately
conferred
with
the

From

,

came
to
the
Royal

in

to
a
nearer
conjunction
of
Counsels
:
and
Odwyr
newly
returned
,
and
concealing
himself
in
Ireland
,
gave
suspition
here
of
some
new
designe
upon
Ireland
;
and
thereupon
all
Papists
and
Irish

again
disarmed
,
and
commanded
to
keep

within
their
Limits

The
King's

continued
at

upon
his
remaining
setling
in
Brugis
,
where
soon
after
he
was
received
in
State
,
it
removed
thither
also
;
so
the
Spaniards
embraced
and
shook
hands
with
his
Interest
,
as
their
own
affairs
governed
them
.
In
England
many
sad
accidents
happened
together
:
the
Abbey
of
Spalding
being
let
out

,
in
one

as
the

a
Prelate

sufficiently
declare
;
a
person
challenged
as
Indifferent
to
the
Church-Government
by
Bishops
,
but
no
doubt
falsly
;
however
,
it
gave
the
Protector
a
fine
occasion
of
personating
a
love
to
Learning

but
Fate
so
crost
Oliver
,
that
no
Governour
of
his
sending
and
nomination
survived
long
after
their
arrival
;
and
Colonel
Doyley
was
a
kinde
of
an
old
Royalist
,
as
were
many
or
the
most
of
the
remaining
Officers
,
whom
he
had
made
it
his
Religion
not
to
trust
.
He
had
in
England
appointed
at
this
time
a
Committee
for
inspecting
of
Charters
;
A
Committee
appointed
for
inspection
of
Charters
.
and
some
forward
pragmatical
Country-Burgesses
were
very
busie
to
supplicate
a
renewal
of
some
,
augmenting
of
and
granting
others
de
novo
;
of
this
Committee
Mr.
Gabriel
Beck
his
Highness's
Sollicitor
was
chief
,
who
were
to
report
their
Consults
to
the
Council
.
Gloucester
Cathedral
was
now
very
ruinous
;
Gloucester
Cathedral
a
School-house
and
Church
.
and
the
Citizens
begg'd
it
for
a
School-house
,
and
afterwards
had
it
for
a
Church
,
in
some
part
according
to
its
first
pious
institution
.
The
Spanish
War
was
like
to
prove
too
chargeable
for
Oliver's
Purse
,
for
all
his
devices
of
Decimation
,
Piedmont
,
and
Iews
;
and
therefore
resolved
to
call
another
Parliament
,
Cromwel
's
designe
in
setting
up
the
Maj.
Generals
first
to
awe
Elections
.
hoping
so
to
awe
the
Elections
,
(
having
had
time
to
improve
that
power
he
had
assumed
to
himself
)
together
with
the
disappointment
the
late
Parliament
had
met
with
,
and
the
desire
of
Settlement
(
which
the
new
acquired
Wealth
and
Estates
,
by
the
vast
purchases
of
Crown
and
other
Lands
vehemently
enforced
;
together
with
the
severe
penalties
on
Royalists
Electing
and
Elected
,
and
the
flagging
wearied
opposition
of
striving
thus
in
vain
against
his
uncontroulable
will
)
would
so
propitiate
his
designes
in
this
Convention
,
that
under
the
pretence
of
the
said
Settlement
,
he
might
establish
himself
,
and
obtain
supplies
for
carrying
on
the
said
War
.
He
set
up
the
Major-Generals
,
to
force
themselves
into
the
peoples
trust
and
abhorence
together
:
for
as
the
mad
actions
of
the
Little
Parliament
were
on
purpose
suffered
and
dictated
to
them
,
to
make
the
people
chuse
any
Government
rather
,
and
submit
to
a
Single
Person
upon
his
own
score
:
So
these
Major-Generals
tyrannical
proceedings
by
vertue
of
his
unknown
unlimited
Authority
,
would
incline
men
to
seek
for
a
Government
established
by
Law
,
to
which
he
and
his
Officers
under
him
might
be
thought
at
least
,
and
deemed
accountable
;
and
he
was
in
a
fair
way
to
a
Monarchical
Form
,
and
nothing
wanting
but
a
good
Title
,
or
the
peoples
Assent
.
These
were
his
aims
upon
this
Convention
;
for
suffrages
wherein
,
his
party
,
and
all
that
he
could
make
to
his
side
,
were
no
less
sedulous
and
industrious
;
and
if
they
failed
in
the
major
voice
,
he
could
but
use
the
same
trick
of
Seclusion
.
The
Major-Generals
had
pretty
well
prepared
the
way
,
by
aspersing
many
,
seizing
others
,
and
threatning
the
rest
of
the
Gentry
;
by
displacing
Burgesses
,
and
disfranchising
one
sort
,
and
admitting
another
to
Freedoms
;
and
at
the
day
of
Election
,
The
awe
of
Elections
to
Parliament
.
which
was
the
20
of
August
,
attending
at
the
places
with
Foot
and
Horse
,
and
got
themselves
returned
by
this
means
,
with
others
of
their
nomination
.
Thus
Berkstead
got
himself
,
with
Kiffin
the
Anabaptist
,
returned
Knights
for
Middlesex
.
And
when
such
persons
were
chosen
in
the
very
face
of
the
Kingdom
,
little
other
choice
could
be
expected
in
obscure
and
remoter
parts
.
A
rout
was
brought
down
for
Kiffin
,
who
together
with
Red-coats
(
that
were
onely
the
good
people
,
and
had
most
right
to
chuse
)
bawled
,
scuffled
,
and
jugled
away
the
fair
Election
of
young
Mr.
Chute
,
his
Father
difficultly
carrying
it
.
And
worse
Jugling
there
was
in
Scotland
and
Ireland
,
of
which
60
there
could
not
be
said
to
be
any
choice
at
all
,
further
than
the
nomination
of
the
respective
Councils
of
both
Kingdoms
.
To
facilitate
the
effect
of
this
project
,
Sir
Henry
Vane
and
Feak
,
upon
the
Commonwealth
and
Little
Parliaments
account
;
and
Colonel
Russel
and
other
Royalists
,
upon
the
Cavalier-account
,
were
seized
and
sent
to
Prison
,
and
a
Proclamation
of
20
miles
again
the
12
of
September
.
During
this
Cabal
,
and
the
serious
carrying
of
it
on
,
a
Freak
or
Crotchet
took
Mr.
Robert
Villiers
(
next
related
to
the
Lord
Purbeck
)
in
the
Head
,
Mr.
Villiers
changeth
his
Name
by
patent
to
Danvers
.
of
changing
his
Name
,
by
Patent
of
Cromwel
,
to
Danvers
,
having
Married
the
Daughter
of
Sir
Iohn
Danvers
,
(
Brother
to
the
Earl
of
Danby
)
the
last
of
that
Family
,
being
another
of
the
Kings
Judges
,
as
was
observed
in
Sir
William
Constable
.
The
reason
he
alledged
was
,
the
many
disservices
his
Name
had
done
the
Commonwealth
,
and
he
intended
to
become
a
probationer
for
a
Parliament-mans
place
,
and
a
Protectorian-Consider
:
but
it
was
said
some
Natural
,
not
Political
,
reasons
induced
him
to
this
alteration
.
The
Parliament
met
.
On
the
17
of
September
the
Members
met
at
the
Abbey-Church
in
Westminster
,
whither
came
Cromwel
with
his
Guard
and
Gentlemen
,
and
heard
a
Sermon
Preached
by
Dr.
Owen
,
Dr.
Owen
Preacheth
before
the
Protector
.
Dean
of
Christ-Church
,
upon
these
words
in
Isaiah
,
What
shall
one
then
answer
to
the
Messengers
of
the
Land
?
That
the
Lord
hath
founded
Zion
,
and
the
poor
of
his
people
shall
rejoyce
.
(
A
Sermon
calculated
to
the
device
of
the
Settlement
;
and
for
which
,
next
day
,
by
Sir
Iohn
Berkstead
(
Knighted
a
little
before
)
and
Mr.
Maidstone
the
Protector
's
Steward
of
his
house
,
he
had
the
Thanks
of
the
Parliament
.
)
At
the
entrance
whereunto
,
after
this
Preachment
,
Exclusion
of
Memb●rs
thr●
Parliament
.
the
Members
found
a
Guard
,
and
an
Officer
standing
with
a
List
in
his
Hand
,
and
demanding
the
Names
of
every
of
them
;
and
such
as
were
marked
for
non-admittance
were
turned
back
:
for
notwithstanding
all
this
diligence
and
foul
play
,
far
the
major
part
of
the
House
were
against
the
Single
Person
,
especially
against
Oliver
,
whom
the
Republicans
hated
more
than
ever
they
did
the
Kingship
in
our
Soveraign
:
those
within
nevertheless
stood
not
to
ask
what
was
become
of
their
Fellows
without
,
but
proceeded
,
and
appointed
a
Fast
;
and
to
prevent
application
of
the
Secluded
to
them
,
as
of
right
,
they
turned
them
over
by
an
Order
to
the
Protector
's
Council
for
approbation
;
which
most
of
the
Country-Gentlemen
disdaining
,
quickly
departed
home
;
which
others
seeing
that
were
admitted
,
not
thinking
the
most
of
this
remnant
fit
company
for
men
of
honesty
or
fashion
,
they
also
absented
themselves
,
that
their
Names
might
not
be
abused
by
continuing
with
them
to
countenance
their
proceedings
.
Cromwel
saw
the
Test
of
a
Recognition
would
not
serve
turn
;
for
they
had
learnt
his
own
Art
of
time-serving
Engagements
,
and
therefore
went
this
illegal
bold
way
to
work
,
contenting
himself
with
this

in
expectation
of
the
Plate-flee●
coming
in
,
or
their
Convoy
of
40
Men
of
War
going
out
from
Cadiz
,
(
one
of
which
the
Spaniard
feared
in
earnest
,
and
the
other
he
threatned
in
a
Bravado
.
)
It
happened
thus
:
the
Generals
Blake
and
Montague
being
gone
to
the
Bay
of
Wyers
to
take
in
fresh
Water
,
le●t
Rear-Admiral
Stayner
with
7
Frigats
to
ply
before
that
Port
;
who
about
the
middle
of
September
descryed
at
Sea
eight
sail
,
(
as
it
proved
from
the
West
Indies
)
who
having
met
and
taken
a
Portugal
Prize
,
and
informed
by
them
that
the
English
were
gone
off
the
Coast
,
The
Plate-ships
taken
by
Capt.
Stayner
,
Sep.
made
securely
to
Cadiz
,
where
Captain
Stayner
and
his
Squadron
(
but
two
whereof
engaged
with
him
in
the
Speaker
,
viz.
the
Bridgewater
and
Plymouth
,
taken
by
them
at
first
for
Fisher-men
,
by
reason
of
their
lying
so
low
in
the
Water
)
assailed
them
,
and
after
a
fierce
fight
(
the
Spaniard
being
loth
to
part
with
his
Treasure
)
overcame
them
.
There
were
two
Sunk
,
two
escaped
,
two
run
aground
,
and
two
taken
by
the
Speaker-Frigat
.
In
one
of
them
was
the
Marquess
of
Badajox
,
Marq.
of
Badajox
one
of
the
King
of
Spain
's
Governours
killed
.
of
the
Family
of
Lopez
,
who
had
been
Governour
for
the
King
of
Spain's
Peru
,
who
was
killed
in
the
Fight
,
with
his
Wife
and
a
Daughter
;
the
Eldest
Son
and
his
Brother
were
saved
,
and
brought
safe
to
the
Generals
with
this
Prize
,
wherein
were
two
millions
of
Pieces
of
eight
,
and
as
much
there
was
in
one
of
them
that
was
Sunk
.
The
Admiral
who
carried
the
Flag
(
for
concealing
of
the
chiefest
ship
)
with
the
Portugal
prize
,
recovered
the
Shore
.
Soon
after
General
Montague
with
the
young
Marquess
and
part
of
the
Fleet
to
convoy
the
Silver
,
returned
into
England
,
and
delivered
the
Bullion
into
the
Mint
;
and
the
young
Marquess
was
set
at
liberty
.
For
this
a
Thanksgiving
,
with
a
Narrative
to
be
read
thereon
,
was
appointed
by
the
Parliament
,
The
Parliament
appoint
a
day
of
Thanksgiving
.
who
emitted
their
Declaration
of
War
against
Spain
.
About
the
same
time
Five
Frigats
returned
also
from
Iamaica
.
According
to
the
34th
Article
of
the
Instrument
,
which
this
Juncto
roundly
danced
to
,
Cromwel
having
Named
Fiennes
and
Lisle
to
be
Lord-Commissioners
of
the
Great
Seal
,
and
Serjeant
Glyn
to
be
Lord
Chief-Justice
of
England
,
he
now
proposed
them
to
the
House
for
their
approbation
;
which
they
did
with
Glee
,
and
confirmed
them
in
their
places
:
and
to
reciprocate
his
officious
comportment
,
they
of
their
part
opened
the
intercourse
betwixt
him
and
the
Parliament
,
by
presenting
him
several
Bills
to
Signe
and
Ratifie
as
Acts
;
the
chief
whereof
were
the
Annulling
the
Title
of
the
King
,
for
security
of
his
Person
,
taking
away
Wards
and
Liveries
,
and
that
the
Passing
those
Acts
should
not
determine
the
Session
:
these
were
firmed
in
the
Painted-Chamber
,
in
ample
manner
and
form
,
by
this
new-fangled-Legislator
,
Nov.
27.
At
the
latter
end
of
October
died
Iohn
the
4th
King
of
Portugal
,
The
King
of
Portugal
dies
.
who
had
so
sucessfully
wrested
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
from
the
unjust
possession
of
the
Spanish
Monarchy
,
after
almost
100
years
Usurpation
of
it
,
in
the
remarkable
year
of
1640.
He
died
of
the
Stone
in
his
Kidneys
in
the
fifty
and
odd
year
of
his
Age
,
leaving
behinde
him
by
his
Queen
,
the
Sister
of
the
Duke
of
Medina
Sidonia
in
Spain
,
his
Son
Alphonso
the
sixth
King
of
Portugal
,
and
Donna
Catharina
the
Illustrious
Infanta
of
the
same
,
since
Married
to
our
Gracious
Soveraign
King
Charles
the
second
.
The
Sect
of
Quakers
was
grown
to
such
a
heigth
of
Impudence
,
by
the
presumptions
and
deceitful
Revelations
of
the
Light
within
,
that
there
was
scarce
any
Blasphemy
which
they
would
not
say
and
act
;
and
yet
very
many
were
bewitched
with
it
.
The
Divinity
of
Christ
had
been
oppugned
by
Biddle
the
Socinian
,
and
now
it
was
Personated
(
with
reverence
be
it
spoken
)
by
one
Iames
Naylor
a
Quaker
,
James
Naylor
the
Quaker
appears
.
He
p●●sonates
our
Saviour
.
who
resembling
in
his
Proportions
and
Complexion
the
picture
of
Christ
,
had
,
in
all
other
things
,
as
the
setting
of
the
Beard
and
Lo●ks
in
the
same
fashion
,
●ar●d
to
counterfeit
our
Blessed
Lord
.
To
this
purpose
he
had
Disciples
and
Women
ministring
to
him
,
whose
Blasphemous
Expressions
,
and
a●●●ications
of
several
Scriptures
relating
properly
to
the
loveliness
and
Transce●●●●nt
Excellency
of
Christ
(
〈◊〉
〈◊〉

〈◊〉
)
to
this
Impostor
,
will
(
if
repeated
)
move
Horrour
and
Trembling
in
every
Christian.
His
first
appearance
in
this
manner
was
at
Bristol
,
where
a
man
leading
his
Horse
Bare-headed
,
and
one
Dorcas
Erbury
and
Martha
Symmonds
going
up
to
the
Knees
in
Mire
by
his
Horse-side
,
sung
aloud
,
Holy
,
Holy
,
Holy
▪
Hosanna
,
&c.
For
this
they
were
seized
by
the
Magistrates
,
and
being
complained
of
to
the
Parliament
,
were
brought
up
to
Town
,
into
which
(
as
in
all
places
)
they
entred
singing
the
same
Blasphemies
.
At
the
Bar
of
the
House
(
a
Committee
having
reported
their
opinion
concerning
his
punishment
)
he
was
Sentenced
in
December
to
be
set
in
the
Pillory
twice
,
He
is
sentenced
to
stand
twice
in
the
Pillory
,
to
be
twice
whipt
,
to
be
Stigmatized
,
and
to
be
Bored
through
the
Tongue
.
and
Whipt
twice
,
and
his
Forehead
to
be
Stigmatized
with
the
letter
B.
for
Blasphemer
,
and
Bored
through
the
Tongue
,
with
which
he
used
to
answer
to
any
Question
,
Thou
hast
said
it
,
and
the
like
.
He
was
likewise
Whipt
at
Bristol
,
and
thence
returned
to
Bridewel
,
to
be
kept
close
,
and
to
eat
no
more
than
what
he
earned
.
In
Newgate
(
after
his
punishment
)
the
Impostor
continued
:
one
Mr.
Rich
(
a
Merchant
of
credit
)
that
held
him
by
the
Hand
while
he
was
in
the
Pillories
,
with
divers
others
,
licked
his
Wounds
:
the
Women
were
observed
some
to
lay
their
Head
in
his
Lap
,
lying
against
his
Feet
;
others
to
lean
it
upon
his
Shouldiers
:
and
questionless
the
Quakers
would
have
persisted
in
this
delusion
,
and
set
up
,
and
made
something
of
this
Idol
,
if
he
had
not
been
kept
from
them
(
for
as
soon
as
ever
any
came
into
his
Company
,
they
would
first
take
him
by
the
Hand
,
and
in
a
strange
note
say
,
Holy
,
&c.
)
But
being
thus
removed
,
after
three
days
wilful
abstinence
,
having
weakned
himself
even
unto
Death
,
he
begged
some
Victuals
,
and
then
was
set
to
work
,
which
he
performed
,
and
came
by
degrees
to
himself
,
and
to
reduction
.
At
the
return
of
the
Rump
he
got
his
liberty
,
but
survived
it
not
;
his
additional
pretended
Divinity
having
attenuated
and
wasted
his
Humanity
;
and
that
Body
sublimed
and
prepared
for
Miracles
,
went
the
way
of
all
Flesh.
It
is
to
be
noted
,
Lambert
appears
in
his
behalf
.
that
Lambert
stickled
much
to
have
saved
him
from
Sentence
and
punishment
,
he
being
his
Souldier
:
but
the
truth
was
,
Lambert
perceived
what
Cromwel
was
driving
at
,
to
engross
the
Soveraignty
to
himself
and
Family
;
and
it
was
high
time
therefore
to
ingratiate
with
all
parties
,
the
better
to
be
able
to
oppose
him
:
and
henceforth
sprung
and
appeared
the
feud
betwixt
these
two
Army-Potentates
.
The
King
at
Bruges
.
The
King
kept
his
Court
at
Bruges
,
some
eight
Leagues
from
the
Court
at
Brussels
,
where
Don
Iohn
was
now
Governour
for
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
had
had
several
consultations
together
about
the
carrying
on
of
the
War
,
and
many
fair
overtures
made
.
The
Duke
of
York
was
newly
arrived
,
as
also
the
Princess
of
Aurange
;
so
that
all
the
Royal
Family
,
except
the
youngest
Daughter
and
Mother
,
were
present
together
.
He
had
newly
listed
some
Regiments
of
his
three
Nations
into
his
service
and
pay
,
which
were
now
quartered
about
Flanders
.
Several
Prisoners
released
.
Several
Prisoners
of
both
sorts
were
now
released
,
as
Sir
Henry
Vane
,
Mr.
Feak
,
Mr.
Rogers
,
Judge
Ienkins
Esquire
;
as
little
time
before
,
one
Mrs
Lucy
Barlow
committed
,
upon
the
score
of
some
Letters
of
the
King
's
found
about
her
.
Sindercomb
's
Plot.
A
most
formidable
Plot
was
again
whispered
to
be
discovered
,
that
tended
to
the
destruction
of
the
Nation
;
and
most
terrible
expectations
there
were
.
What
more
monstrous
wickedness
could
be
practised
,
than
what
the
Nation
had
already
seen
perpetrated
.
—
The
Fox
had
a
Wound
he
could
not
tell
where
,
—
The
Drudgery
of
Mr.
Thurloe
,
(
Cromwel's
Second
in
the
Plot
)
had
most
laboriously
undermined
a
sap-headed
fellow
,
one
Miles
Syndercombe
a
Leveller
,
Cas●iered
in
Scotland
about
Overton's
business
,
to
designe
the
Life
of
his
most
Serene
Highness
.
This
was
effected
by
the
hired
combination
of
one
Cecil
,
and
one
Toop
of
Cromwel's
Life-guard
,
who
drew
in
this
male-content
.
There
was
another
vizarded
or
disguised
person
,
said
to
be
a
Priest
sent
from
Don
Alonso
the
Spanish
Embassador
in
Flanders
,
who
was
engaged
as
principal
.
Several
opportune
Houses
taken
to
Shoot
him
,
with
Engines
,
Calivers
,
Blunderbusses
,
at
his
going
to
the
Parliament
,
to
Hampton
Court
,
at
a
convenience
in
Hammersmith
,
in
Hide-Park
,
the
Gates
whereof
were
unhinged
:
and
lastly
,
by
firing
the
Chappel
at
White-hall
,
with
a
strange
combustible
matter
.
Those
horrible
circumstances
Master
Secretary
delivered
in
such
anxious
,
and
the
discovery
of
it
in
such
grave
words
,
that
the
House
was
resolved
into
a
joyful
wonderment
of
this
good
Providence
,
The
Parliament
congratulates
Cromwel
's
deliverance
.
for
which
they
first
ordered
a
Thanksgiving
,
and
a
Narrative
of
the
Plot
,
and
the
House
to
come
and
congratulate
his
Highness
upon
this
deliverance
at
a
day
he
should
appoint
;
which
was
the
23
of
Ianuary
,
when
the
House
with
their
Speaker
went
to
the
Banquetting-house
,
and
met
their
live-like
Protector
with
a
Sospital
Oration
(
consisting
of
these
Heads
)
by
the
Mouth
of
Sir
Thomas
Widdrington

were

Blow

Then
the
cunning
secrecy
of
it

no
more
than

to
know

3.
The
extensiveness
of
it
,
if
they
failed
in
one
place
,
resolved
to
do
in
another
;
that
if
Cicero
were
living
,
he
would
want
expression
to
set
out
the
Danger
or
the
Mercy
,
and
that
being
so
unparallell'd
unprecedented
a
Mercy
,
the
Parliaments
Hymn
was
,
O
cantemus
canticum
novum
,
O
come
let
us
sing
a
new
Song
,
&c.
This
Speech
(
like
the
Plot
)
had
neither
Head
nor
Tail
,
yet
was
well
enough
taken
by
the
Sword-men
,
who
had
no
other
acuteness
than
what
was
in
their
Scabbards
:
but
the
disaster
that
was
the
preface
to
this
Lame
Story
,
was
taken
in
dudgeon
.
As
the
Members
were
ascending
the
Stairs
of
the
Banquetting-house
,
a
press
of
people
crowding
with
them
,
the
Stairs
broke
under
them
,
and
spoiled
the
Cringes
and
Obeysances
of
many
of
these
Parliament-gratulators
,
particularly
Mr.
Ellis
(
afterwards
Knighted
by
Cromwel
)
his
Sollicitor-General
broke
his
Leg
,
and
lost
the
Fees
of
a
whole
Term
for
a
Complement
.
Cromwel's
Son
Richard
was
much
bruised
,
and
lay
in

this
Treason

and
by
Cecil's
and
Toop's
Evidence
(
who
discovered

craved
mercy
)
Convicted
:
He
resolutely
denied
and
retorted
the
Plot
,
and
interrogated
the
Court
about
it
;
but
it
availed
not
,
Justice
Glyn
condemning
him
,
when
he
declared
that
the
Statute
25
Edw.
3.
was
declaratory
of
the
Common
Law
provided
in
that
Case
before
,
and
that
by
King
was
understood
any
Chief-Magistrate
.
He
was
carried
thence
to
the
Tower
,
He
is
sent
to
the
Tower
,
and
the
night
before
his
Execution
found
dead
.
He
is
buried
under
the
Scaffold
at
Tower-hill
,
a
Stake
being
driven
through
his
Body
.
where
the
night
before
his
Execution
,
it
was
supposed
(
and
so
the
Coroners
Jury
gave
their
Verdict
)
that
he
Poysoned
himself
:
He
went
well
into
his
Bed
,
desiring
a
while
before
a
space
of
half
an
hours
privacy
for
his
Prayers
;
which
time
elapsed
,
he
opened
the
Door
,
and
rubbing
his
Hands
together
,
and
his
Nose
with
them
,
chearfully
bid
his
Guard
good-night
.
His
Body
afterwards
was
tied
with
his
Head
forwards
to
a
Horses
Tail
,
and
drawn
Naked
to
the
Scaffold
at
Tower-hill
,
and
under
that
Buried
,
and
a
great
Stake
driven
through
him
,
which
was
covered
with
Iron

For

Alderman
Pack
(
a

,
and
in
greater
arrears
for
it
,
to
30000
l.
and
deep
in

)
from
the
advantage
of
this
Royal
Treat
,
suddenly
started
a
motion
like
a
Puppet
jerkt
with
a
Wire
,
That
in
regard
of
the
strange
unsettlement
and
discomposure
of
the
Nation
,
and
the
mindes
of
men
,
and
the
ill
aspect
it
had
upon
Forrain
Princes
,
and
all
Trade
;
that
therefore
the
Protector
might
be
desired
to
assume
the
Stile
of
King
,
as
the
most
known
and
most
agreeable
Government
.
And
presently
Tooth
and
Nail
the
Court-party
were
at
it
;
and
after
sundry
Consultations
,
passed
a
Resolution
in
order
to
his
being
King'd
,
by
the
second
part
of
the
Instrument
,
called
the
Humble
Petition
and
Ad●ice
of
the
Parliament
;
which
being
now
in
debate
,
we
must
leave
to
the
ensuing
Year
.
The
Peace
with
Portugal
Proclaimed
.
The
Year
ends
with
a
Proclamation
of
the
Portugal
Peace
,
which
had
been
ratified
so
long
before
:
and
a
fright
given
Lockhart
by
a
pretended
Quarrel
between
some
Embassadors
Lacqueys
,
at
his
stately
going
to
Audience
to
the
French
King
at
Paris
,
where
notwithstanding
his
Guards
,
he
very
seldom
as
yet
,
but
upon
publick
occasions
,
appeared
abroad
.
Anno
Dom.
1657.
THe
sutable
political
talk
of
the
party
of
the
Usurper
,
was
now
engaged
in
strained
arguments
for
a
Monarchy
in
the
person
of
this
their
Ring-leader
;
and
this
Maxime
was
broacht
in
the
News-book
,
That
there
was
no
everlasting
principle
in
Government
as
to
any
particular
Form
;
That
Government
is
but
a
temporary
expedient
;
that
it
is
like
Vltima
tabula
post
naufragium
,
in
the
hazard
of
the
Commonwealth
,
the
next
shift
may
be
made
use
of
.
The
same
was
the
inspired
reason
into
the
Humble
Petition
and
Advice
;
which
after
several
Debates
and
Resolutions
,
was
drawn
into
that
Consistency
;
the
main
whereof
,
was
to
desire
the
Protector
to
change
that
Title
for
the
other
of
King
.
On
the
9
of
April
,
the
Parliament
having
desired
a
meeting
with
him
,
came
to
the
Banquetting-house
in
White-hall
,
where
Sir
Thomas
Widdrington
in
a
Speech
commended
the
Title
and
Office
of
a
King
,
Sir
Thomas
Widdrington
commends
the
Title
and
Office
of
a
King
.
as
setled
here
with
Christianity
,
approved
by
our
Ancestors
,
consisting
with
our
Laws
and
Temper
of
the
people
:
and
then
presented
him
with
the
Module
of
the
Humble
Petition
,
&c.
To
this
tender
,
Cromwel
in
a
fit
of
Devotion
answered
,
That
it
was
a
weighty
matter
,
and
therefore
desired
space
to
seek
God
:
that
the
Charge
laid
upon
him
was
too
great
for
him
to
bear
without
His
assistance
:
that
the
English
were
the
best
people
in
the
World
,
and
required
therefore
all
tenderness
and
consideration
of
their
Liberties
,
&c.
Cromwel
courted
to
accept
it
.
The
next
day
a
Committee
was
appointed
to
attend
him
,
and
receive
his
Answer
;
which
being
insignificant
,
but
that
the
Protector
desired
satisfaction
,
they
upon
report
thereof
resolved
to
adhere
to
their
Petition
,
and
appointed
a
Committee
of
above
half
the
House
to
attend
him
,
to
receive
from
him
his
doubts
and
scruples
touching
any
of
the
particulars
contained
in
the
,
&c.
and
to
offer
Reasons
for
his
satisfaction
,
for
the
maintenance
of
the
Resolution
of
the
House
;
and
wherein
they
cannot
satisfie
,
to
report
.
The
chief
of
this
Committee
were
,
Whitlock
,
Lord
Chief-Justice
Glyn
,
Lord
Broghall
,
Lenthall
,
Lisle
,
Philip
Iones
,
Fines
,
Strickland
,
Thurloe
,
Sir
Richard
Onsl●w
,
Sir
Charles
Woolsley
,
&c.
These
wanted
not
arguments
from
the
Law
,
from
the
Safety
and
Honour
of
the
people
to
have
a
King
;
under
which
Government
it
had
flourished
so
many
hundred
years
,
and
from
the
safety
and
honour
of
his
own
person
:
to
all
which
they
were
answered
from
a
mixt
result
of
ambition
and
anger
,
till
the
deliberated
certainty
of
the
latter
had
crusht
the
Airy
conceit
of
the
other
.
The
danger
and
his
scruples
consisted
in
these
Objections
.
First
,
That
the
Title
of
King
is
a
name
of
Office
,
which
any
name
that
may
imply
the
Supreme
Magistrate
hath
the
same
signification
,
and
therefore
no
necessity
of
change
.
Answer
,
that
the
Name
of
a
King
is
onely
adequate
to
,
and
comprehensive
of
the
Office
of
the
Supreme
Magistrate
.
It
is
a
Rule
,
that
the
Kings
of
England
cannot
alter
the
Laws
,
by
reason
of
their
Name
;
and
that
there
is
no
obligation
upon
any
other
.
That
the
very
Title
was
declared
necessary
in
9
Edw.
4.
in
the
controversie
betwixt
him
and
Hen.
7.
every
action
done
by
the
King
in
possession
was
valid
,
for
it
was
his
Jurisdiction
Royal
:
so
in
Hen.
7.
the
same
of
a
King
de
Facto
.
That
there
is
a
prius
a
former
,
and
primum
a
first
;
the
Name
King
had
beginning
with
our
Laws
:
that
for
Protector
there
must
be
a
new
Law
introductive
of
such
a
Title
.
The
other
Objections
of
danger
,
namely
,
The
difficulty
in
altering
the
same
Government
to
a
Commonwealth
,
and
the
refusal
of
some
Iudges
,
and
actings
of
others
upon
that
ground
;
that
another
Parliament
might
change
those
Resolutions
;
the
dislike
of
the
good
people
,
and
the
bent
of
the
Army
;
that
Providence
had
laid
aside
this
Title
of
the
King
after
seven
years
War
,
and
many
of
the
chief
of
those
instruments
dissatisfied
(
of
which
presently
)
were
answered
with
his
own
Logick
of
Providence
,
which
would
(
was
bound
,
they
would
have
said
)
to
wait
upon
these
beloved
and
glorious
necessities
:
and
that
as
to
Dissatisfied
Persons
,
there
never
was
any
the
most
just
and
happy
Government
free
from
them
.
But
because
the
most
material
part
and
effect
of
our
Civil-War
came
to
Entitle
it self
to
this
grand
Event
,
it
will
be
very
just
and
equal
to
shew
it
in
its
full
proportion
,
and
in
its
genuine
sense
,
from
the
Mouths
of
the
then
Lord
Whitlock
and
Cromwel
himself
.
I
omit
to
acquaint
the
Reader
at
large
with
the
Protector
's
Jealousie
,
that
they
would
fortifie
his
Title
,
and
dis-enable
his
Revenue
;
for
he
demanded
no
less
security
to
his
Greatness
,
than
190000
l.
a
year
,
and
the
charge
of
the
Spanish
War
besides
.
The
Lord
Whitlock's
Speech
,
the
26
of
April
.
SIR
,
I
Have
very
little
to
trouble
your
Highness
with
;
The
Ld.
Whitlock's
Speech
to
the
Protector
.
so
much
hath
been
already
spoken
,
and
so
well
,
that
it
will
be
hard
for
me
or
any
other
to
undertake
to
adde
to
it
:
onely
the
duty
of
my
Employment
,
and
something
due
to
your
Highness
,
occasions
me
to
speak
a
few
words
,
to
acknowledge
with
very
humble
thanks
the
Honour
and
Right
which
you
have
done
this
Committee
,
by
the
clear
and
free
Discourses
and
Conferences
which
they
have
had
with
your
Highness
;
and
for
your
frequent
Expressions
and
Testimonies
of
affection
and
respect
to
the
Parliament
,
whose
sense
in
this
I
may
presume
to
speak
,
that
never
any
persons
met
their
Supreme
Magistrate
with
more
Love
,
Duty
,
and
Honour
,
than
the
Parliament
have
met
your
Highness
with
,
in
their
present
Addresses
;
which
argument
of
love
deserves
the
esteem
and
force
,
which
I
doubt
not
but
your
Highness
will
put
upon
it
.
I
am
fearful
to
be
too
tedious
at
any
time
,
especially
at
so
late
an
hour
,
and
therefore
shall
speak
but
short
,
to
some
things
which
I
remember
not
to
have
been
mentioned
.
Your
Highness
was
pleased
at
the
last
meeting
,
to
say
,
that
the
Original
Institution
of
the
Title
King
,
was
by
common
consent
,
and
that
the
same
common
consent
might
institute
any
other
Title
,
and
make
it
as
effectual
as
that
of
King
.
This
must
be
acknowledged
;
but
withal
you
may
be
pleased
to
observe
,
that
the
Title
of
King
is
not
onely
by
an
Original
common
consent
,
but
that
consent
also
approved
and
confirmed
,
and
the
Law
fitted
thereunto
,
and
that
fitted
to
the
Laws
,
by
the
experience
and
industry
of
many
ages
,
and
many
hundreds
of
years
together
;
whereas
any
other
Title
will
be
onely
by
present
common
consent
,
without
that
experience
and
approbation
:
for
that
experience
which
your
Highness
mentioned
to
have
been
of
other
Titles
,
and
the
due
administration
of
Iustice
under
them
:
this
experience
is
far
short
of
the
other
;
and
for
the
course
of
Iustice
,
we
have
cause
to
thank
that
care
which
plac'd
so
good
Iudges
and
Officers
over
us
;
yet
give
me
leave
to
say
,
that
in
private
Causes
between
party
and
party
;
and
in
publick
matters
in
nominal
causes
,
it
was
not
easie
to
finde
justice
to
be
done
by
some
Iurors
:
and
many
questions
have
risen
upon
the
occasion
of
those
new
Titles
,
concerning
that
tender
point
of
good
mens
satisfaction
.
I
think
it
requires
a
very
great
regard
from
us
,
and
I
doubt
not
but
those
good
People
will
be
fully
satisfied
,
if
they
consider
the
Covenants
,
Promises
,
and
Precepts
,
which
in
the
Scriptures
are
annex'd
to
the
Name
of
King
:
and
although
some
have
alledged
,
that
they
belong
to
any
chief
Magistrate
as
well
as
to
King
;
yet
no
man
did
ever
read
the
Original
word
translated
otherwise
than
King
,
neither
do
I
finde
the
present
Title
once
mentioned
in
the
Holy
Text.
If
the
present
Authority
be
a
lawful
Authority
,
which
I
hope
none
of
us
will
deny
;
surely
those
good
men
,
who
are
so
well-principled
in
Godliness
,
will
not
forget
that
precept
of
submission
to
Authority
,
and
to
be
satisfied
with
that
which
Lawful
Authority
shall
ordain
.
Their
Rights
and
Liberties
are
the
same
with
ours
,
and
the
Parliament
cannot
advise
any
thing
for
the
preservation
of
the
Peoples
Rights
,
but
these
good
men
are
included
;
which
I
hope
will
be
no
dissatisfaction
to
them
.
In
all
the
changes
which
we
have
seen
,
there
hath
been
a
dissatisfaction
to
some
;
yet
still
the
Blessing
of
God
hath
gone
along
through
all
these
Changes
,
with
those
who
carried
on
his
interest
;
and
the
Cause
being
the
same
,
the
same
Mercies
have
been
continued
:
And
I
doubt
not
but
if
the
intended
Change
,
or
rather
Restitution
be
made
,
(
as
I
hope
it
will
)
the
same
God
will
continue
his
Blessings
to
that
Good
Old
Cause
wherein
we
are
engaged
;
and
that
good
men
will
receive
satisfaction
by
it
.
Your
Highness
hath
been
told
,
that
the
Title
of
King
is
upon
the
Foundation
of
Law
,
and
that
a
new
Title
must
have
a
constitution
to
make
the
Laws
relate
unto
it
,
and
that
unto
the
Laws
.
I
shall
onely
adde
this
,
that
a
Title
by
relation
is
not
so
certain
and
safe
,
as
a
Title
upon
the
old
Foundation
of
the
Law
;
and
that
a
Title
upon
a
present
single
Constitution
(
as
any
new
Title
must
be
)
cannot
be
so
firm
,
as
a
Title
both
upon
the
present
Constitution
,
and
upon
the
old
Foundation
of
the
Law
likewise
,
which
the
Title
of
King
will
be
.
If
any
inconvenience
should
ensue
upon
your
acceptance
of
this
Title
which
the
Parliament
adviseth
,
your
Highness
satisfaction
will
be
,
that
they
did
advise
it
.
On
the
contrary
part
,
if
any
inconvenience
should
arise
upon
your
Highness
refusal
of
this
Title
which
the
Parliament
hath
advised
,
your
burden
will
be
the
greater
.
And
therefore
whatsoever
may
fall
out
,
will
be
better
answered
by
your
Highness
complying
with
your
Parliament
,
than
otherwise
.
This
question
is
not
altogether
new
;
some
instances
have
been
given
of
the
like
,
to
which
I
shall
adde
two
or
three
.
The
Title
of
the
Kings
of
England
in
the
Realm
of
Ireland
,
was
Lord
of
Ireland
;
and
the
Parliament
in
the
33
year
of
Hen.
8.
reciting
,
that
inconveniencies
did
arise
there
by
reason
of
that
Title
,
did
Enact
that
Hen.
8.
should
assume
the
Stile
and
Title
of
King
of
Ireland
,
which
in
the
Iudgement
of
this
Parliament
was
preferred
before
the
other
.
In
the
State
of
Rome
,
new
Titles
proved
fatal
to
their
Liberties
.
Their
case
was
not
much
unlike
ours
;
they
were
wearied
with
a
Civil
War
,
and
coming
to
a
Settlement
,
Cuncta
discordiis
civilibus
●●ssa
,
nomine
principis
sub
imperium
accepit
;
some
would
not
admit
the
Title
Rex
to
be
used
,
but
were
contented
to
give
the
Titles
of
Caesar
,
perpetuus
Dictator
,
Princeps
,
Senatus
,
Imperator
.
Non
sum
R●x
,
sed
Caesar
,
came
at
last
to
this
,
Voluntas
Caesaris
pro
lege
habebatur
.
The
Northern
people
were
more
happy
amongst
themselves
;
a
private
Gentleman
of
a
Noble
Family
took
up
Arms
with
his
Country-men
against
a
Tyrant
,
and
by
the
blessing
of
God
rescued
their
Native
Liberties
,
and
Rights
of
their
Country
,
from
the
oppression
of
that
Tyrant
.
This
Gentleman
had
the
Title
of
Marshal
given
unto
him
,
which
continued
for
some
years
:
Afterwards
their
Parliament
(
judging
it
best
to
resume
the
old
Title
)
Elected
this
Gentleman
King
,
and
with
him
was
brought
in
the
liberty
of
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
establishment
of
the
Civil
Rights
of
that
people
,
which
have
continued
in
a
prosperous
condition
ever
since
unto
this
day
.
Sir
,
I
shall
make
no
other
application
,
but
in
my
prayers
to
God
,
to
direct
your
Highness
and
the
Parliament
(
as
I
hope
be
will
)
to
do
that
which
will
be
most
for
his
honour
and
the
good
of
his
people
.
Cromwel's
Speech
to
the
Parliament
in
the
Banquetting-house
at
White-hall
,
the
8
of
May.
Mr.
Speaker
,
I
Come
hither
to
answer
that
that
was
in
your
last
Paper
to
your
Committee
you
sent
to
me
,
The
Protector
's
Speech
to
the
Parliament
concerning
the
Title
of
King
.
which
was
in
relation
to
the
desires
which
were
offered
to
me
by
the
House
,
in
that
they
called
their
Petition
.
I
confess
that
business
hath
put
the
House
,
the
Parliament
,
to
a
great
deal
of
trouble
,
and
spent
much
time
:
I
am
very
sorry
that
it
hath
cost
me
some
,
and
some
thoughts
;
and
because
I
have
been
the
unhappy
occasion
of
the
expence
of
so
much
time
,
I
shall
spend
little
of
it
now
:
I
have
the
best
I
can
revolved
the
whole
business
in
my
thoughts
▪
and
I
have
said
so
much
already
in
testimony
of
the
whole
,
that
I
think
I
shall
not
need
to
repeat
any
thing
that
I
have
said
.
I
think
it
is
a
Government
,
that
the
aims
of
it
seek
much
a
setling
the
Nation
on
a
good
foot
in
relation
to
Civil
Rights
and
Liberties
,
which
are
the
Rights
of
the
Nation
;
and
I
hope
I
shall
never
be
found
to
be
of
them
that
shall
go
about
to
Rob
the
Nation
of
these
Rights
,
but
to
serve
them
what
I
can
to
the
attaining
of
them
.
It
hath
also
exceeding
well
provided
for
the
safety
and
security
of
honest
men
,
in
that
great
Natural
and
Religious
Liberty
,
which
is
Liberty
of
Conscience
:
These
are
great
Fundamentals
,
and
I
must
bear
my
testimony
to
them
,
(
as
I
have
and
shall
do
still
,
so
long
as
God
lets
me
live
in
this
World
)
that
the
intentions
of
the
things
are
very
honourable
and
honest
,
and
the
Product
worthy
of
a
Parliament
.
I
have
onely
had
the
unhappiness
both
in
my
Conferences
with
your
Committees
,
and
in
the
best
thoughts
I
could
take
to
my self
,
not
to
be
convicted
of
the
necessity
of
that
thing
,
that
hath
been
so
often
insisted
upon
by
you
,
to
wit
,
the
Title
of
King
,
as
in
it self
so
necessary
,
as
it
seems
to
be
apprehended
by
your selves
:
and
I
do
with
all
honour
and
respect
to
the
judgment
of
the
Parliament
,
testifie
,
that
(
caeteris
patibus
)
no
private
judgement
is
to
lye
in
the
Ballance
with
the
judgement
of
a
Parliament
;
but
in
things
that
respect
particular
persons
,
every
man
that
is
to
give
an
account
to
God
of
his
actions
,
he
must
in
some
measure
be
able
to
prove
his
own
Work
,
that
is
,
to
have
an
approbation
in
his
own
Conscience
of
that
he
is
to
do
or
forbear
;
and
whilst
you
are
granting
others
Liberties
,
surely
you
will
not
deny
me
this
,
it
being
not
onely
a
liberty
,
but
a
duty
(
and
such
a
duty
as
I
cannot
without
sinning
forbear
)
to
examine
my
own
Heart
,
and
thoughts
,
and
judgement
,
in
every
work
which
I
am
to
set
mine
Hand
to
,
or
to
appear
in
or
for
.
I
must
confess
therefore
,
that
though
I
do
acknowledge
all
the
other
,
yet
I
must
be
a
little
confident
in
this
,
that
what
with
the
circumstances
that
accompany
Humane
Actions
,
whether
they
be
circumstances
of
time
or
persons
,
whether
circumstances
that
relate
to
the
whole
,
or
private
or
particular
circumstances
,
that
compass
any
person
that
is
to
render
an
account
of
his
own
actions
:
I
have
truely
thought
,
and
do
still
think
,
that
if
I
should
(
at
the
best
)
do
any
thing
on
this
account
to
answer
your
expectation
,
it
would
be
at
the
best
doubtingly
;
and
certainly
what
is
so
,
is
not
of
faith
;
whatsoever
is
not
of
faith
,
is
sin
to
him
that
doth
it
,
whether
it
be
with
relation
to
the
substance
of
the
action
about
which
the
consideration
is
conversant
,
or
whether
to
circumstances
about
it
,
which
make
all
indifferent
actions
good
or
evil
to
him
that
doth
it
.
I
lying
under
this
consideration
,
think
it
my
duty
;
onely
I
could
have
wished
I
had
done
it
sooner
,
for
the
sake
of
the
House
,
who
have
laid
so
infinite
obligations
on
me
:
I
wish
also
I
had
done
it
sooner
for
your
sake
,
for
saving
time
and
trouble
;
and
indeed
for
the
Committees
sake
,
to
whom
I
must
acknowledge
publickly
,
I
have
been
unseasonably
troublesome
:
I
say
,
I
could
have
wished
I
had
given
it
sooner
;
but
truely
this
is
my
Answer
,
that
although
I
think
the
Government
doth
consist
of
very
excellent
parts
in
all
,
but
in
that
one
thing
the
Title
:
as
to
me
,
I
should
not
be
an
honest
man
,
if
I
should
not
tell
you
,
that
I
cannot
accept
of
the
Government
,
nor
undertake
the
trouble
and
charge
of
it
,
which
I
have
a
litle
more
experimented
than
every
man
,
as
to
what
troubles
and
difficulties
do
befal
men
under
such
Trusts
,
and
in
such
undertakings
;
I
say
,
I
am
perswaded
to
return
this
Answer
to
you
,
That
I
cannot
undertake
this
Government
with
the
Title
of
a
King
;
and
that
is
mine
Answer
to
this
great
and
weighty
business
.
A
rumour
was
spread
during
this
juncture
,
which
is
too
pertinent
to
be
omitted
,
that
the
King
was
sickly
and
languishing
,
and
of
a
melancholy
lost
spirit
;
That
his
Brothers
were
Papists
,
and
professed
ones
:
which
with
the
Act
of
annulling
,
&c.
plainly
shewed
Cromwel's
first
Ambitious
intentions
;
but
the
truth
was
,
he
had
consulted
the
Oracle
of
the
Army
,
whom
he
had
first
Disciplin'd
with
Mutiny
against
the
Civil
Authority
,
or
any
coercive
Jurisdiction
whatsoever
,
and
was
therefore
the
best
acquainted
with
their
constitution
:
and
they
were
at
such
a
pitch
,
lately
Sult●ning
of
it
in
the
powers
of
their
Major-Generals
,
that
it
was
impossible
or
improbable
to
bring
them
to
the
Yoak
of
the
Laws
,
which
he
must
by
this
Title
undergo
himself
;
and
Lambert
was
so
stiff
hereupon
,
perceiving
how
Cromwel
prevaricated
from
the
Contract
between
them
of
his
succeeding
to
this
Lawless
Protectorship
after
,
as
to
brave
him
with
the
Army-Interest
,
to
brandish
the
same
Sword
,
and
to
dispute
the
business
in
publick
.
A
whispering
there
was
,
that
his
Lady
was
more
familiar
with
Cromwel
than
suted
with
her
Relation
,
and
that
she
discovered
his
secrets
as
well
as
her
own
;
insomuch
that
it
became
a
Court-jest
,
that
Oliver's
Instrument
was
found
in
my
Lady
Lamberts
Petticoat
:
but
he
was
open
enough
of
himself
,
and
of
too
pregnant
and
forward
a
Spirit
to
conceal
his
disgust
.
It
was
time
therefore
,
as
the
Protector
had
served
Major-General
Harrison
before
,
to
deal
with
Lambert
,
Lambert
turned
off
.
and
to
dismiss
him
from
Council
and
all
Command
;
but
for
fear
of
displeasing
the
Army
,
not
securing
him
:
which
kinde
of
usage
in
the
throwing
off
an
old
,
but
disgusted
Friend
,
was
credited
into
a
by-word
of
Lambertizing
.
Thus
Oliver
chose
the
better
part
,
betaking
himself
to
the
Interest
of
the
Army
,
in
this
Title
of
their
own
making
and
forming
;
confiding
more
in
the
Arms
and
Embraces
of
the
Souldiery
,
than
in
the
Legs
and
Complements
of
the
Parliament
,
and
that
a
Cripple
also
.
Fifth-Monarchy
Plot.
In
the
midst
of
this
Regal
Scene
,
appeared
other
Actors
:
the
Fifth-Monarchy-men
were
contriving
an
Insurrection
,
and
had
had
several
Meetings
in
a
house
at
Shoreditch
,
where
they
were
all
along
betrayed
,
and
seized
,
and
at
last
some
Arms
and
Ammunition
taken
with
them
,
with
a
Standard
of
a
Lyon
Couchant
(
of
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
)
with
this
Motto
,
Who
shall
rouse
him
up
?
The
fellows
taken
,
were
Thomas
Venner
,
with
their
Scribe
(
as
they
named
their
Secretary
)
Gray
,
Gowlet
,
Hopkins
,
and
Ashton
,
with
others
,
(
these
named
owe
another
more
desperate
and
Trayterous
account
to
this
Chronicle
.
)
About
them
was
found
a
Declaration
in
Print
,
with
this
Title
,
The
Principle
of
the
Remnant
,
&c.
One
Machlin
〈◊〉
in
his
Age.
A
Miracle
seconded
this
Millenary
Phantasie
:
one
Machlin
a
Scotch
Minister
,
but
Beneficed
in
Northumberland
,
aged
one
hundred
and
sixteen
years
,
was
restored
by
a
wonderful
reviviscency
beyond
all
Poetical
Fiction
,
to
his
Teeth
,
Hair
,
and
Eye-sight
,
so
that
he
was
as
able
in
his
Body
as
he
was
at
the
age
of
fifty
.
Several
conjectures
were
made
and
applied
to
the
Government
of
our
Kings
,
and
the
issue
credited
them
.
Nor
was
the
right
of
the
King
at
any
time
so
hopeful
as
now
,
not
onely
from
these
unpracticable
Counsels
at
home
,
against
his
Crown
and
unextinguishable
Authority
,
but
also
from
those
Aids
and
Forces
he
had
abroad
,
and
the
assurance
of
a
plenary
conjuncture
with
the
Spaniard
to
this
purpose
.
The
Marquess
of
Ormond
,
the
Lord
Wilmot
,
the
Lords
Gerrard
and
Wentworth
,
the
Lord
Taaf
and
General
Middleton
had
their
several
Regiments
Quartered
up
and
down
the
Sea-Coasts
;
and
the
Dukes
of
York
and
Gloucester
had
Commands
likewise
in
Flanders
.
To
oppose
this
growing
strength
,
The
King
●●tertains
Forces
in
Flanders
.
and
to
re-inforce
the
French
,
who
had
been
worsted
last
Summer
at
Valenchienne
,
and
lost
other
places
,
Cromwel
sent
over
6000
men
under
the
Command
of
Colonel
Iohn
Reynolds
,
the
Commissary-General
in
Ireland
,
Cromwel
assists
the
French
with
6000
having
trained
and
drilled
most
of
them
as
Recruits
to
Colonel
Berkstead's
Regiment
of
the
Tower
,
and
the
like
service
,
and
then
drew
them
out
for
this
Forrain
expedition
.
They
Rendezvouzed
at
Black-Heath
,
where
Hugh
Peters
gave
them
a
Sermon
for
encouragement
,
and
were
shipped
with
a
Months
pay
in
hand
at
Dover
,
by
the
care
of
Major-General
Kelsey
,
and
landed
at
St.
Iohns
Bay
,
within
seven
miles
of
Bulloyn
,
whither
Reynolds
and
their
Major-General
Morgan
followed
them
towards
the
end
of
May
:
they
had
new
Red-coats
given
them
,
for
the
terrible
Name
thereof
.
Of
all
the
desperate
attempts
that
ever
were
made
in
the
World
against
an
Enemy
by
Sea
,
Ge●
.
Blake
:
desperate
attempt
on
the
Spaniard
.
this
of
Noble
Blake's
is
not
inferiour
to
any
.
He
lying
upon
the
Spanish
Coast
,
had
intelligence
given
him
that
the
West-India-Fleet
were
arrived
at
the
Canary-Islands
,
and
put
into
the
Bay
of
Sancta
Cruz
,
on
the
Island
of
Teneriff
.
Upon
this
the
Fleet
weighed
Anchor
on
the
13
of
April
1657.
and
by
the
20
of
the
same
Month
,
were
fair
in
the
Offing
of
Sancta
Cruz
,
where
they
discovered
how
bravely
the
Spanish
ships
(
sixteen
in
number
)
were
barricado'd
in
this
Bay
,
where
they
lay
in
a
manner
Semi-circular
.
Neer
to
the
Mouth
of
this
Haven
,
stands
a
Castle
sufficiently
furnished
with
great
Ordnance
,
which
threatned
destruction
to
any
that
durst
enter
without
its
leave
into
the
Harbour
:
besides
this
,
there
stood
seven
Forts
more
round
about
the
Bay
,
with
six
,
four
,
and
three
great
Guns
apiece
;
and
united
together
by
a
Line
of
Communication
from
one
Fort
to
another
,
which
was
manned
with
Musqueteers
.
To
make
all
safe
,
Don
Diego
Diagues
General
of
the
Spanish
Fleet
was
not
idle
in
making
Provision
for
the
best
defence
of
his
Armado
:
he
caused
all
the
smaller
ships
to
be
mored
close
along
the
shore
,
and
the
six
Great
Galleons
stood
farther
out
at
Anchor
,
with
their
Broad-sides
towards
the
Sea
.
It
happened
at
this
time
,
there
was
a
Dutch
Merchants
ship
in
the
Bay
;
the
Master
whereof
seeing
the
English
ready
to
enter
,
and
that
a
Combat
would
presently
be
commenced
,
it
made
him
fear
that
among
all
the
Blows
that
would
be
given
,
he
could
not
avoid
some
knocks
;
therefore
to
save
himself
,
he
went
to
Don
Diego
,
and
desired
his
leave
to
depart
the
Harbour
:
For
(
said
he
)
I
am
very
sure
Blake
will
presently
be
amongst
you
.
To
this
,
the
resolute
Don
made
no
other
reply
,
but
,
Get
you
gone
if
you
will
,
and
let
Blake
come
if
he
dares
.
They
that
knew
Blake's
Courage
,
could
not
but
know
it
needless
to
dare
him
to
an
Engagement
.
All
things
being
ordered
for
fight
,
a
Squadron
of
ships
was
drawn
out
of
the
whole
Fleet
to
make
the
first
onset
;
these
were
Commanded
by
Captain
Stainer
in
the
Speaker-Frigat
,
who
no
sooner
had
received
Orders
,
but
immediately
he
flew
into
the
Bay
with
his
Canvas
Wings
,
and
by
eight
in
the
Morning
fell
pell-mell
upon
the
Spanish
Fleet
,
Sancta
Cruz
fight
,
Apr.
20.
without
the
least
regard
to
the
Forts
,
that
spent
their
shot
prodigally
upon
him
.
No
sooner
were
these
entered
into
the
Bay
,
but
Blake
following
after
,
placed
certain
ships
to
pour
Broad-sides
into
the
Castle
and
Forts
:
these
played
their
parts
so
well
,
that
after
some
time
the
Spaniards
found
their
Forts
too
hot
to
be
held
.
In
the
mean
time
Blake
strikes
in
with
Stainer
,
and
bravely
fought
the
Spanish
ships
,
which
were
not
much
inferiour
in
number
to
the
English
,
but
in
Men
they
were
far
the
superiour
.
Here
we
see
a
resolute
bravery
many
times
may
carry
the
day
,
and
make
number
lie
by
the
Lee
:
this
was
manifest
;
for
by
two
of
the
clock
in
the
afternoon
,
the
English
had
beaten
their
Enemies
out
of
their
ships
.
Now
Blake
seeing
an
impossibility
of
carrying
them
away
,
The
Spanish
Fleet
fired
.
he
ordered
his
men
to
fire
their
Prizes
;
which
was
done
so
effectually
,
that
all
the
Spanish
Fleet
were
reduced
to
Ashes
,
except
two
ships
that
sunk
downright
,
nothing
remaining
of
them
above
water
but
some
part
of
their
Masts
.
The
English
having
now
got
a
compleat
Victory
,
The
English
in
danger
,
but
delivered
by
a
Miracle
.
were
put
to
another
difficulty
by
the
Wind
,
which
blew
so
strong
into
the
Bay
,
that
many
despaired
of
getting
out
again
.
But
Gods
Providence
was
miraculously
seen
,
in
causing
the
Wind
upon
the
sudden
to
Vere
about
to
the
South-West
,
(
a
thing
not
known
in
many
years
before
)
which
brought
Blake
and
his
Fleet
safe
to
Sea
again
,
notwithstanding
the
Spaniards
from
the
Castle
played
their
Great
Guns
perpetually
upon
them
as
they
passed
by
.
The
Wind
,
as
it
proved
a
Friend
to
bring
the
English
forth
,
so
it
continued
to
carry
them
back
again
to
their
former
station
near
to
Cadiz
.
This
noble
Service
made
Blake
as
terrible
as
Drake
to
the
Spaniard
;
there
being
less
difference
betwixt
the
Fame
and
report
of
their
Actions
and
Exploits
,
than
in
the
sound
of
their
Names
;
and
it
was
accordingly
resented
here
by
all
parties
.
Cromwel
(
whom
it
most
concerned
)
sent
his
Secretary
to
acquaint
the
House
with
the
particulars
,
The
Par●
.
appoint
a
Thanksgiving
,
and
present
their
General
Blake
with
500
l.
who
ordered
a
Thanksgiving
,
and
500
l.
to
buy
the
General
a
Jewel
,
as
a
testimony
of
his
Countries
Gratitude
,
and
the
honour
they
bore
him
;
One
hundred
pound
to
the
Captain
that
brought
the
Tidings
,
and
Thanks
to
all
the
Officers
and
Souldiers
:
and
shortly
after
the
Speaker
returning
home
,
(
being
so
bruised
and
torn
in
the
late
Engagement
,
that
she
was
unfit
for
further
service
till
repaired
)
the
Captain
of
her
(
Richard
Stainer
)
was
Knighted
,
who
indeed
deserved
that
Honour
from
a
better
Hand
;
nor
did
his
merit
miss
of
it
.
Capt.
Stainer
Knighted
.
This
was
atchieved
on
Munday
the
20th
of
April
.
The
Protector
having
refused
the
Title
of
King
,
(
awaiting
a
more
opportune
time
and
advantage
to
reach
that
top
and
height
of
his
Ambition
which
inwardly
tormented
him
)
was
now
by
the
Parliament
to
be
confirmed
in
his
former
Dignity
;
and
a
Committee
called
of
the
Settlement
was
ordered
to
prepare
an
Explanatory
part
to
the
Humble
Petition
and
Advice
,
in
respect
of
the
Protector
's
Oath
,
his
Councils
,
the
Members
of
Parliament
,
the
other
House
,
which
was
to
consist
of
sixty
and
odd
Lords
of
Cromwel's
Election
,
of
which
in
their
place
we
shall
give
an
account
:
all
which
being
prepared
and
finished
,
the
Lord
Craven
thought
it
a
fit
time
for
him
to
offer
his
Case
to
the
Parliament
,
The
Lord
Craven
's
Case
offered
to
the
Parl.
but
deferred
by
the
Protector
.
by
whom
a
day
was
no
sooner
set
for
Hearing
,
and
the
Protector
's
Council
ordered
to
attend
;
but
he
sends
a
Letter
,
directed
to
Our
Trusty
and
Well-beloved
Sir
Thomas
Widdrington
,
Speaker
of
the
Parliament
,
to
Adjourn
:
but
understanding
the
main
business
of
the
Assessment
was
not
yet
finished
,
he
sent
another
to
forbid
his
former
;
but
desired
them
to
make
it
their
sole
Affair
.
Whereupon
the
Lord
Craven
was
referred
to
the
first
day
of
their
Access
after
the
Adjournment
.
Cromwel
Signes
Acts.
When
all
the
Acts
were
ready
for
Signing
,
the
Protector
came
to
the
Painted-Chamber
and
sent
for
the
Parliament
,
where
the
Speaker
tendered
him
these
Acts
of
State
,
besides
others
relating
to
Trade
,
&c.
1.
An
Act
for
Assessment
of
60000
l.
a
Month
,
for
three
Months
from
March
,
for
the
three
Kingdoms
.
Another
Money-Act
for
50000
l.
for
three
years
,
at
35000
l.
for
England
,
6000
l.
for
Scotland
,
and
9000
l.
for
Ireland
.
An
Act
for
preventing
multiplicity
of
Buildings
in
and
about
the
Suburbs
of
London
,
and
within
ten
miles
thereof
:
and
a
whole
years
Revenue
to
be
paid
for
every
Dwelling
or
House
built
upon
any
new
Foundation
since
1620.
(
and
this
was
the
reason
and
soul
of
that
Law
.
)
An
Act
for
punishing
such
as
live
at
High
Rates
,
and
have
no
visible
Estates
.
And
lastly
,
for
the
observation
of
the
Lords
day
.
There
was
a
Bill
brought
in
for
ascertaining
and
satisfying
the
Publick
Faith
,
that
these
Patriots
might
seem
to
intend
the
ease
of
the
people
;
but
it
was
but
once
read
and
committed
,
and
resumed
afterwards
to
as
much
purpose
very
briskly
by
the
Council
of
this
Protector
.
At
the
signing
of
these
,
Cromwel
made
this
short
Speech
.
His
Speech
.
I
perceive
,
that
among
these
many
Acts
of
Parliament
,
there
hath
been
a
very
great
care
had
by
the
Parliament
,
to
provide
for
the
just
and
necessary
support
of
the
Commonwealth
,
by
these
Bills
for
Levying
of
Money
now
brought
to
me
,
which
I
have
given
my
consent
unto
;
and
understanding
it
hath
been
the
practise
of
those
who
have
been
chief
Governours
,
to
acknowledge
with
thanks
to
the
Commons
,
their
care
and
regard
of
the
Publick
,
I
do
very
heartily
and
thankfully
acknowledge
their
kindeness
herein
.
The
principal
substance
of
the
Humble
Petition
,
&c.
was
this
.
1.
That
his
Highness
under
the
Title
of
Lord
Protector
,
The
Humble
Petition
and
Advice
.
would
be
pleased
to
exercise
the
Office
of
Chief
Magistrate
over
England
,
&c.
and
to
Govern
according
to
all
things
in
this
Petition
and
Advice
;
also
,
that
in
his
Life-time
he
would
appoint
the
person
that
should
Succeed
in
the
Government
after
his
Death
.
2.
That
he
would
call
Parliaments
,
consisting
of
two
Houses
,
once
in
three
years
at
farthest
.
3.
That
those
persons
who
are
Legally
chosen
by
a
Free
Election
of
the
people
to
serve
in
Parliament
,
may
not
be
excluded
from
doing
their
Duties
,
but
by
consent
of
that
House
whereof
they
are
Members
.
4.
In
the
fourth
,
was
shown
the
qualifications
of
Parliament-Members
.
5.
In
the
fifth
,
the
power
of
the
other
House
.
6.
That
the
Laws
and
Statutes
of
the
Land
be
observed
and
kept
,
and
no
Laws
altered
,
Suspended
,
Abrogated
,
Repealed
,
or
new
Laws
made
,
but
by
Act
of
Parliament
.
7.
For
a
constant
yearly
Revenue
,
ten
hundred
thousand
pounds

and
three
hundred
thousand
pounds
for
support
of
the
Government
,
besides
other
Temporary
supplies
,
as
the
Commons
in
Parliament
shall
see
the
necessities
of
the
Nations
to
require
.
8.
That
the
number
of
the
Protector
's
Council
shall
not
be
above
one
and
twenty
;
whereof
the
Quorum
to
be
seven
,
and
not
under
.
9.
The
Chief
Officers
of
State
,
as
Chancellors
,
Keepers
of
the
Great
Seal
,
&c.
to
be
approved
of
by
Parliament
.
10.
That
his
Highness
would
encourage
a
Godly
Ministry
in
these
Nations
;
and
that
such
as
do
revile
or
disturb
them
in
the
Worship
of
God
,
may
be
punished
according
to
Law
;
and
where
the
Laws
are
defective
,
new
ones
to
be
made
in
that
behalf
.
11.
That
the
Protestant
Christian
Religion
,
as
it
is
contained
in
the
Old
and
New
Testaments
,
be
asserted
and
held
forth
for
the
publick
profession
of
these
Nations
,
and
no
other
▪
and
that
a
Confession
of
Faith
be
agreed
upon
and
recommended
to
the
People
of
these
Nations
;
and
none
be
permitted
by
Words
or
Writings
to
revile
or
reproach
the
said
Confession
of
Faith
,
&c.
Which
he
having
Signed
,
declared
his
acceptance
in
these
Words
.
That
he
came
thither
that
day
,
Cromwel's
Speech
at
his
acceptance
thereof
.
not
as
to
a
Triumph
,
but
with
the
most
serious
thoughts
that
ever
he
had
in
all
his
life
,
being
to
undertake
one
of
the
greatest
Burthens
that
ever
was
laid
upon
the
back
of
any
Humane
Creature
,
so
that
without
the
support
of
the
Almighty
,
he
must
sink
under
the
weight
of
it
,
to
the
damage
and
prejudice
of
these
Nations
.
This
being
so
,
he
must
ask
help
of
the
Parliament
,
and
of
those
that
fear
God
,
that
by
their
Prayers
he
might
re●●ive
assistance
from
God
:
For
nothing
else
could
enable
him
to
the
discharge
of
so
great
a
Duty
and
Trust.
That
seeing
this
is
but
an
Introduction
to
the
carrying
on
of
the
Government
of
these
Nations
,
and
there
being
many
things
which
cannot
be
supplied
without
the
assistance
of
the
Parliament
,
it
was
his
duty
to
ask
their
help
in
them
;
not
that
he
doubted
:
for
the
same
Spirit
that
had
led
the
Parliament
to
this
,
would
easily
suggest
the
same
to
them
.
For
his
part
,
nothing
would
have
induced
him
to
take
this
unsupportable
Burthen
to
Flesh
and
Blood
,
but
that
he
had
seen
in
the
Parliament
a
great
care
in
doing
those
things
which
might
really
answer
the
ends
that
were
engaged
for
,
and
make
clearly
for
the
Liberty
of
the
Nations
,
and
for
the
Interest
and
Preservation
of
all
such
as
fear
God
under
various
Forms
.
And
if
these
Nations
be
not
thankful
to
them
for
their
care
therein
,
it
will
fall
as
a
Sin
on
their
Heads
.
Yet
there
are
some
things
wanting
that
tend
to
Reformation
,
to
the
discountenancing
Vice
,
and
encouragement
of
Vertue
;
but
he
spake
not
this
as
in
the
least
doubting
their
progress
,
but
as
one
that
doth
heartily
desire
,
to
the
end
God
may
Crown
their
Work
,
that
in
their
own
time
,
and
with
what
speed
they
judge
fit
,
these
things
may
be
provided
for
.
There
remained
onely
the
solemnity
of
the
Inauguration
or
Investiture
;
which
being
agreed
upon
by
the
Committee
and
the
Protector
,
was
by
the
Parliament
appointed
to
be
performed
in
Westminster-hall
;
His
Investiture
.
where
at
the
upper
end
thereof
,
there
was
an
ascent
raised
,
where
a
Chair
and
Canopy
of
State
was
set
,
and
a
Table
with
another
Chair
for
the
Speaker
,
with
Seats
built
Scaffold-wise
for
the
Parliament
on
both
sides
,
and
places
below
for
the
Aldermen
of
London
,
and
the
like
:
All
which
being
in
a
readiness
,
the
Protector
came
out
of
a
Room
adjoyning
to
the
Lords
House
,
and
in
this
order
proceeded
into
the
Hall
.
First
went
his
Gentlemen
,
then
a
Herald
;
next
the
Aldermen
,
another
Herald
,
the
Attorney-General
,
then
the
Judges
,
(
of
whom
Serjeant
Hill
was
one
,
being
made
a
Baron
of
the
Exchequer
Iune
16.
)
then
Norroy
,
the
Lords
Commissioners
of
the
Treasury
,
and
the
Seal
carried
by
Commissioner
Fiennes
;
then
Garter
,
and
after
him
the
Earl
of
Warwick
with
the
Sword
born
before
the
Protector
Bare-headed
,
the
Lord
Mayor
Titchborn
carrying
the
City-Sword
(
by
the
special
Coaks
of
the
Protector
)
by
his
left
Hand
.
Being
seated
in
his
Chair
,
on
the
left
hand
thereof
stood
the
said
Titchborn
and
the
Dutch
Embassador
,
the
French
Embassador
and
the
Earl
of
Warwick
on
the
Right
;
next
behinde
him
stood
his
Son
Richard
,
Fleetwood
,
Claypool
,
and
the
Privy
Council
;
upon
a
lower
descent
stood
the
Lord
Viscount
Lisle
,
Lords
Montague
and
Whitlock
,
with
drawn
Swords
.
The
Protector
installed
,
&c.
Then
the
Speaker
(
Sir
Thomas
Widdrington
)
in
the
Name
of
the
Parliament
,
presented
to
him
a
Robe
of
Purple-Velvet
,
a
Bible
,
a
Sword
,
and
a
Scepter
;
(
all
which
were
precious
Tokens
of
the
Parliaments
favour
.
)
At
the
delivery
of
these
things
,
the
Speaker
made
a
short
Comment
upon
them
to
the
Protector
,
which
he
divided
into
four
parts
,
as
followeth
.
-
The
Speaker's
Comment
on
the
Ceremonies
thereof
.
1.
The
Robe
of
Purple
,
this
is
an
Emblem
of
Magistracy
and
imports
Righteousness
and
Iustice
.
When
you
have
put
on
this
Vestment
,
I
may
say
you
are
a
Gown-man
.
This
Robe
is
of
a
mixt
colour
,
to
shew
the
mixture
of
Iustice
and
Mercy
.
Indeed
,
a
Magistrate
must
have
two
bands
,
Plectentem
&
amplectentem
,
to
cherish
and
to
punish
.
-
2.
The
Bible
is
a
Book
that
contains
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
in
which
you
have
the
happiness
to
be
well
vers'd
.
This
Book
of
Life
consists
of
two
Testaments
,
the
Old
and
New
:
the
first
shews
Christum
Velatum
,
the
second
Christum
Revelatum
;
Christ
Vailed
and
Revealed
:
it
is
a
Book
of
Books
,
and
doth
contain
both
Precepts
and
Examples
for
good
Government
.
-
3.
Here
is
a
Scepter
,
not
unlike
a
Staff
;
for
you
are
to
be
a
Staff
to
the
Weak
and
Poor
:
it
is
of
antient
use
in
this
kinde
.
It
's
said
in
Scripture
,
that
the
Scepter
shall
not
depart
from
Iudah
.
It
was
of
the
like
use
in
other
Kingdoms
;
Homer
the
Greek
Poet
calls
Kings
and
Princes
Scepter-bearers
.
-
4.
The
last
thing
is
a
Sword
,
not
a
Military
but
Civil
Sword
,
it
is
a
Sword
rather
of
defence
than
offence
;
not
to
defend
your self
onely
,
but
your
People
also
.
If
I
might
presume
to
fix
a
Motto
upon
this
Sword
,
as
the
Valiant
Lord
Talbot
had
upon
his
,
it
should
be
this
,
Ego
sum
Domini
Protectoris
,
ad
protegendum
populum
meum
,
I
am
the
Protector
,
to
protect
my
People
.
This
Speech
being
ended
,
the
Speaker
took
the
Bible
and
gave
the
Protector
his
Oath
:
afterwards
Mr.
Manton
made
a
Prayer
,
wherein
he
recommended
the
Protector
,
Parliament
,
Council
,
the
Forces
by
Land
and
Sea
,
Government
,
and
People
of
the
three
Nations
,
to
the
protection
of
God
.
Which
being
ended
,
the
Heralds
by
sound
of
Trumpet
Proclaimed
his
Highness
Protector
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
and
the
Dominions
thereunto
belonging
;
requiring
all
persons
to
yield
him
due
obedience
.
At
the
end
of
all
,
the
Protector
,
with
his
Train
carried
up
by
the
Lord
Sherard
,
Warwick's
Nephew
,
and
the
Lord
Roberts
his
Eldest
son
,
returned
in
the
same
posture
,
the
Earl
of
Warwick
sitting
at
one
end
of
the
Coach
against
him
;
Richard
his
son
and
Whitlock
in
one
,
and
Lord
Lisle
and
Montague
in
the
other
Boot
,
with
swords
drawn
,
and
the
Lord
Claypool
Master
of
the
Horse
led
the
Horse
of
Honour
in
rich
Caparisons
to
White-hall
.
The
Members
to
the
Parliament-house
,
where
they
Prorogued
their
sitting
to
the
twentieth
of
Ianuary
.
Great
Rhodomontadoes
of
Proclaimings
,
and
little
less
than
Blasphemy
in
the
several
Addresses
in
and
from
all
parts
of
the
three
Kingdoms
,
were
the
vapouring
and
ranting
conclusions
of
this
story
▪
which
reduceth
to
memory
another
terrible
occurrence
to
the
Protector
,
amidst
those
ambages
and
suspence
of
a
Crown
,
namely
a
Book
published
under
the
Title
of
Killing
no
Murther
,
A
Book
called
Killing
no
Murther
published
now
.
by
which
it
was
proved
,
and
that
most
evidently
,
that
it
was
not
onely
Lawful
but
Honourable
to
slay
this
Tyrant
:
It
was
a
very
ingenious
and
Learned
Piece
,
and
frighted
Oliver
exceedingly
,
who
searched
for
it
as
Herod
did
in
another
case
;
but
it
could
not
be
discovered
:
whoever
the
Author
was
,
his
Book
and
he
deserves
everlasting
memory
.
It
was
also
attended
like
the
preceding
part
of
his
Usurpation
,
with
a
most
terrible
blow
of
Gunpowder
,
A
terrible
Blow
of
Gunpowder
neer
Wapping
.
out
of
a
Mill
neer
Wapping
,
which
ruined
and
destroyed
several
Houses
,
and
killed
several
persons
,
and
answered
with
its
crack
and
vicine
Eccho
the
but
just-ceased
Guns
from
the
Tower
of
London
upon
that
occasion
;
or
as
others
said
,
it
was
an
Introduction
or
Warning-blow
of
the
intended
mischief
by
the
Committee
for
New
Buildings
,
who
now
began
their
work
in
all
earnestness
,
sitting
in
Salisbury-Court
at
Mr.
Sadler's
the
Town-Clerk
of
Lon●●n
.
This
was
seconded
with
as
remarkable
an
Earth-quake
at
Bickly
in
Cheshire
,
An
Earthquake
in
Cheshire
.
on
the
eighth
of
Iuly
,
where
some
twenty
yards
of
Ground
,
with
three
great
Oaks
and
other
Trees
,
fell
as
with
the
noise
of
a
Cannon
(
the
same
tenour
of
alluding
Fate
in
its
portents
against
this
Governour-General
)
thirty
yards
deep
in
the
ground
,
Several
Murthers
and
other
accidents
,
&c.
where
nothing
but
Water
could
be
discovered
.
Other
accidents
of
Murther
and
Slaughter
there
were
:
one
Butler
,
a
Comrade
and
Companion
of
one
Knight's
,
Servant
to
one
Worth
a
Silk-man
,
then
upon
his
affairs
at
Bristol
,
being
tempted
with
the
sight
of
the
Money
,
which
lying
with
this
Knight
in
his
Masters
absence
he
had
opportunity
to
observe
,
cut
his
Friends
Throat
after
some
strugling
,
and
escaped
with
the
Money
;
but
was
most
providentially
discovered
.
One
Parsons
Lieutenant-Colonel
to
Pride
,
being
set
upon
in
the
Highway
for
his
Purse
,
and
making
resistance
,
was
shot
,
for
all
the
care
of
his
Comrades
the
Major-Generals
,
whose
Authority
now
began
to
wain
.
But
that
which
is
most
remarkable
of
these
occurrences
and
casualties
,
was
the
Execution
of
Captain
Bernard
,
for
Robbing
the
House
of
his
Colonel
Winthrop
,
Colonel
in
Harrison's
place
and
Regiment
,
Bernards
that
betrayed
Col.
Andrews
Hanged
for
Robbery
.
wherein
,
this
Bernard
,
for
betraying
his
former
Colonel
the
Noble
Eusebius
Andrews
,
as
before
,
had
a
Troop
given
him
by
the
Long
Parliament
;
so
commensurate
was
the
Divine
Justice
to
his
sin
,
punishing
his
Treachery
against
the
one
,
by
his
crime
of
Burglary
against
his
other
Colonel
.
He
made
applications
to
Cromwel
,
and
alledged
his
past
,
and
proffered
great
future
service
for
a
Reprieve
;
but
even
Cromwel
himself
thought
not
such
a
fellow
fit
to
live
;
besides
,
he
was
infamous
,
and
too
well
known
;
and
he
had
new
ones
of
greater
abilities
retained
to
that
purpose
,
no
way
in
the
world
suspicable
of
such
practises
,
namely
one
Corker
a
Minister
formerly
in
York-shire
,
but
a
violent
and
Active
Royalist
in
the
War
,
and
one
that
had
a
hand
in
that
Exploit
of
killing
of
Rainsborough
;
and
a
Knight
formerly
Governour
of
Newark
,
far
more
eminent
in
the
Royal
service
;
of
which
presently
.
The
Forrain
adjunct
transactions
,
were
first
the
Danish
War
with
the
Swede
,
then
engaged
in
a
far
distant
War
with
the
almost-subdued
Pole
.
The
reason
of
this
suddain
Rupture
,
was
the
like
Invasion
made
by
the
Swede
some
thirteen
years
before
,
and
wresting
by
his
Arms
some
Provinces
from
that
Kingdom
,
of
which
now
this
occasion
offered
them
the
recovery
;
however
it
answered
not
its
promising
beginnings
.
The
Duke
of
York
,
who
Commanded
a
part
of
the
Spanish
Army
,
was
marching
to
joyn
with
other
Forces
to
the
Relief
of
Montmedy-Castle
in
Lorrain
,
besieged
by
the
French
Marshal
de
Ferte
.
While
the
English
Forces
joyned
with
four
Regiments
of
Horse
;
were
advancing
from
Vervins
,
part
of
them
,
to
the
number
of
300
,
quartered
in
a
Castle
something
distant
from
the
Body
,
the
Duke
with
a
Brigade
attaqued
,
and
thereupon
they
presently
yielded
and
,
took
up
Arms
with
him
:
notwithstanding
this
inauspicious
entrance
,
they
marched
and
joyned
with
Turenne
,
then
at
the
siege
of
St.
Venant
,
St.
Venant
taken
by
the
United
Forces
.
where
Colonel
Morgan
in
an
attempt
made
by
his
men
,
(
who
seeing
some
of
their
fellows
in
danger
,
bravely
forsook
their
Trenches
)
took
a
Hal●-Moon
,
and
lodged
themselves
under
the
Counterscarp
,
(
the
custom
of
taking
Towns
there
being
by
slower
progressions
)
which
mainly
conduced
to
the
speedy
surrender
of
that
place
.
Colonel
Morgan
received
a
Wound
in
his
Arm
at
this
siege
.
From
thence
the
United
Forces
marched
towards
Dunkirk
,
having
gained
and
secured
the
Passes
upon
the
Colne
,
that
they
might
march
either
to
Gravelin
or
Dunkirk
;
but
the
latter
being
aimed
at
,
they
took
up
their
first
quarters
at
Bourbrock
,
designing
upon
Mardike-Fort
:
some
of
the
English
quartered
at
Watton
,
where
there
is
a
Colledge
of
English
Jesuits
,
and
where
there
was
between
them
a
reciprocation
of
civil
usage
.
Mr.
Talon
Was
dispatcht
by
Turenne
for
more
supplies
,
and
Colonel
Reynolds
followed
him
to
London
,
and
in
the
mean
while
,
about
the
middle
of
September
,
the
Armies
sat
down
before
Mardike
,
and
put
themselves
between
it
and
Dunkirk
,
General
Montague
riding
before
the
Splinter
with
a
Fleet
of
War
:
it
w●●
not
long
before
a
continual
Battery
had
made
the
Besieged
quit
the
Wood●
Fort
;
which
so
incommodated
them
,
being
seized
by
the
Enemy
,
that
they
were
forced
to
yield
to
Mercy
,
Sept.
23.
Mardike
taken
Sep.
23.
and
put
into
English
hands
.
Turenne
not
allowing
better
,
because
they
had
refused
his
first
offers
:
the
Fort
was
immediately
put
into
the
possession
of
the
English
,
a
party
of
French
being
added
to
them
,
under
Colonel
Morgan
;
and
the
rest
of
the
Army
(
it
being
thought
unadviseable
to
attempt
a
Siege
against
Dunkirk
,
the
Winter
growing
so
hard
upon
them
)
returned
to
Bourbrock
where
the
English
took
up
their
Winter-quarters
to
be
neer
Mardike
,
and
the
French
at
Ardres
.
Afterwards
it
was
resolved
that
two
Regiments
,
to
wit
,
Colonel
Reynold's
and
Alsop's
,
should
march
into
French
quarters
,
and
relieve
(
and
be
relieved
)
every
two
Months
their
fellows
hereabouts
;
to
the
strengthning
of
which
place
,
and
while
the
Fortifications
were
finished
,
Marshal
Turenne
staid
some
time
with
his
Army
.
The
taking
of
Mardike
was
very
grievous
to
the
Dunkirkers
and
Spanish-side
,
and
therefore
it
was
resolved
by
Don
Iohn
to
hazard
a
Scalado
and
Assault
by
night
:
The
illustrious
Duke
of
York
and
the
Marquess
of
Caracene
ordered
and
were
present
in
the
business
;
and
the
King
our
Soveraign
,
and
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
had
conveyed
themselves
to
Dunkirk
,
to
see
the
management
of
this
attempt
.
On
the
22
of
October
at
night
,
some
4000
English
,
Scotch
and
Irish
,
Mardike
Stormed
by
night
,
Octo.
22.
and
some
Spaniards
,
about
ten
a
clock
at
night
began
the
Storm
with
Hand-Granadoes
,
and
all
sorts
of
Assaulting
Engines
,
and
were
got
into
the
Trenches
,
and
mounted
their
Scaling-ladders
;
but
the
English
within
being
in
a
readiness
,
and
Reynolds
,
Morgan
,
and
Lillingstone
,
being
at
that
same
time
there
,
the
Assailants
were
with
great
slaughter
repelled
and
beaten
down
;
the
Great
Guns
from
the
English
Fleet
(
riding
at
the
Splinter
)
firing
their
Broad-sides
,
being
directed
by
four
great
Links
(
set
up
in
the
Corners
of
the
Fort
)
how
to
miss
it
:
nevertheless
,
about
four
a
clock
the
Duke
commanded
the
Assault
to
be
renewed
again
;
which
was
done
with
greater
fury
,
but
to
as
little
advantage
;
which
event
with
the
approaching
day-light
caused
a
retreat
,
the
Dead
being
most
of
them
carried
off
in
Waggons
.
There
were
some
hundreds
guessed
to
be
slain
,
but
the
number
is
uncertain
.
This
was
a
rude
accost
and
greeting
of
Country-men
,
which
used
to
be
the
most
obliging
in
Forrain
Countries
;
but
Rebellion
is
a
Witch
(
as
they
are
compared
with
a
pejoration
of
the
former
in
Scripture
)
that
had
transformed
the
Military
part
of
the
Nation
.
Often
have
we
fought
on
both
sides
,
but
were
never
opposed
in
any
Battle
one
against
another
,
much
less
to
fight
an
home-bred
quarrel
of
our
own
in
Out-landish
ground
.
The
Noble
Duke
therefore
thinking
the
Hearts
of
the
Leaders
of
this
Garrison
,
if
they
had
any
true
English
Worth
or
Honour
suitable
to
their
Commands
,
might
be
touched
with
the
unnaturalness
of
the
Fact
,
and
a
sense
of
their
Allegiance
,
and
respect
to
their
Rightful
Soveraign
,
and
himself
the
next
Prince
of
the
Blood
,
(
against
whom
they
indirectly
and
collaterally
militated
)
as
being
now
out
of
the
Reach
,
Influence
,
and
Awe
of
the
Usurper
,
sought
therefore
by
fair
means
to
win
this
Party
,
which
would
highly
and
sufficiently
conduce
to
his
Majesties
Service
,
to
their
obedience
.
In
order
to
this
,
by
the
means
of
a
Scotch
Knight
(
whose
Name
slips
our
present
use
)
well
acquainted
with
Colonel
Reynolds
,
he
was
prevailed
upon
to
give
the
Duke
a
meeting
in
the
mid-way
betwixt
Dunkirk
and
Mardike
,
which
are
distant
about
two
miles
,
with
a
party
of
Horse
on
either
side
.
Reynolds
at
the
approach
of
the
Duke
did
the
reverence
which
was
redevable
to
his
Highness
,
and
shewed
himself
in
all
respects
as
became
him
towards
such
an
Illustrious
Personage
,
and
with
the
same
handsome
demeanour
departed
to
the
Fort.
What
conference
they
had
was
never
perfectly
related
,
for
it
was
private
;
but
the
very
news
of
the
meeting
in
that
amicable
respectful
manner
,
being
conveyed
with
speed
to
Cromwel
,
caused
in
him
such
jealousies
and
distrusts
,
that
inflamed
with
anger
at
this
his
great
Confident
and
Favourite
,
he
presently
dispatcht
away
a
Messenger
to
Command
him
for
London
;
which
he
,
and
Colonel
White
,
with
one
Mr.
Devaux
the
Secretary
to
Reynolds
,
readily
obeying
,
and
taking
the
first
ship
was
ready
,
and
that
would
venture
to
go
off
;
(
which
was
a
Dutch
Pink
of
10
Guns
,
in
a
stormy
night
the
12
of
December
,
a
Frigat
offering
to
wait
on
him
next
Morning
)
he
was
cast
away
the
same
night
on
the
back
of
the
Goodwyn-sands
,
Col.
Reynolds
,
&c.
cast
away
on
the
Goodwyn-sands
.
his
Chest
,
Sword
and
Belt
being
found
thereabouts
,
and
thereby
saved
the
ungrateful
excuse
of
his
duty
,
and
prevented
the
prejudiced
revenge
of
his
Master
Oliver
.
Morgan
Commanded
in
his
place
till
the
arrival
of
Marshal
D'
Aumont
,
(
who
brought
with
him
Monsieur
Mancini
the
Cardinal's
Nephew
,
desirous
out
of
curiosity
to
see
this
vicissitudinary
Fortress
)
who
had
the
supreme
Command
,
but
devolved
the
exercise
and
trust
thereof
to
the
same
hand
as
before
.
Here
Marshal
D'
Aumont
was
furnished
with
some
ships
of
ours
for
a
designe
upon
Ostend
,
which
he
had
thought
he
had
surely
purchased
:
but
of
this
hereafter
.
As
to
other
Forrain
News
,
there
was
great
discourse
about
the
right
to
the
Vicariat
or
Vicarship
of
the
Empire
,
which
now
happened
by
the
Death
of
the
Emperour
Ferdinand
the
4
of
Austria
,
his
Son
the
King
of
the
Romans
being
dead
some
while
before
.
It
did
indisputably
belong
to
the
Prince
Elector
Palatine
;
but
upon
the
quarrel
for
the
Crown
of
Bohemia
,
he
was
proscribed
and
degraded
,
and
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
(
a
descendant
of
the
younger
House
)
did
now
assert
and
maintain
that
right
,
as
lately
confirmed
on
him
by
the
Emperour
against
the
Palatine
;
and
so
it
remained
sub
judice
.
The
Protector
(
the
War
growing
hot
betwixt
the
two
Northern
Kings
,
the
Dane
having
attaqued
Bremerwarden
,
a
very
strong
place
,
and
soon
after
Mastered
it
)
dispatcht
away
two
Envoys
Extraordinary
,
Sir
Philip
Medows
the
Protector
's
Envoy
to
Denmark
,
Colonel
Jephson
to
Sweden
.
viz.
Sir
Philip
Medows
Knighted
by
himself
(
afterwards
by
that
King
with
the
Order
of
the
Elephant
)
to
the
King
of
Denmark
,
and
since
by
our
Soveraign
;
being
the
same
Gentleman
that
was
employed
before
to
the
King
of
Portugal
:
and
Colonel
Iephson
to
the
King
of
Sweden
,
then
journeying
Post
out
of
Poland
to
encounter
this
new
Enemy
.
They
were
both
well
received
,
the
first
at
Copenhagen
,
the
other
(
by
the
way
of
Lubeck
)
at
Wismar
,
whither
the
Swede
was
arrived
:
to
whom
,
during
this
offered
Mediation
betwixt
both
,
Cromwel
sent
supplies
of
2000
Men
and
Arms
from
London
,
Yarmouth
,
and
Hull
,
in
several
ships
;
so
radicated
was
his
Hate
against
the
most
offenceless
and
distant
Allies
and
Relations
of
the
Crown
,
as
the
Dane
was
;
which
he
took
all
occasions
,
how
villanous
and
base
soever
,
to
render
of
feared
and
damnifying
consequence
,
and
dangerous
prejudices
to
all
the
neighbouring
States
and
Princes
.

those
hinder
parts
of
the
Kingdom
which
had
submitted
to
the
Swede
,
and
were
now
by
him
deserted
;
but
the
designe
of
the
other

Piedmont
was
yet
recent
and

,
and
so
it
took
not
.
Cromwel
Swears
his
Privy
Council
.
The
Earl
of
Mulgrave
made
on●
,
Rich.
Cromwel
another
Lord
of
the
Council
,
and
Chancellor
of
Oxford
.
At
home
,
Cromwel
was
now
Swearing
his
Privy-Council
over
,
according
to
one
of
the
Articles
of
the
Humble
Petition
and
Advice
,
and
the
Earl
of
Mulgrave
was
made
one
of
them
;
and
because
the
Parliament
had
declared
the
next
succession
into
his
Dignity
should
be
at
the
appointment
of
himself
by
Act
or
publick
Declaration
,
he
thought
it
time
to
produce
his
Son
Richard
,
and
to
train
him
in
the
Government
.
He
was
therefore
made
another
Lord
of
the
Council
,
and
the
Chancellorship
of
Oxford
(
which
the
Protector
had
resigned
)
was
bestowed
on
him
,
and
a
solemn
Instalment
of
him
by
Dr.
Owen
the
Vice-Chancellor
was
acted
with
all
the
Formalities
at
White-hall
.
The
course
of
his
life
before
this
calling
to
the
State
,
spent
it self
in
the
pleasures
and
divertisements
of
the
Country
,
where
he
appeared
in
a
medium
of
privacy
and
greatness
,
tempering
one
another
to
the
estimate
of
a
civil
and
noble
disposition
,
manifested
in
several
kindnesses
obtained
at
his
Fathers
hands
for
the
Loyal
Gentry
,
to
whose
Converse
and
Familiarity
he
was
out
of
policy
addressed
,
to
the
captating
their
good
will
and
favour
,
towards
the
easier
ascent
to
his
designed
Soveraignty
.

in
a
Stock
:
which
turned
to
the
account
of
his
Majesty
(
as
of
due
)
some
time
afterwards
.
Mr.
Downing
was
sent
his
Envoy
into
Holland
.
One
Colonel
Saxby
taken
at
Gravesend
on
shipboard
,
(
of
Syndercombe's
Counsel
)
being
a
Leveller
,
died
(
as
was
supposed
of
Poyson
)
in
the
Tower
of
London
;
which
rendered
Syndercombe's
end
more
plainly
suspected
.
The
solemnizations
of
Christmass
forbidden
,
&c.
The
Festival
of
Christmass
,
which
had
been
abrogated
by
several
Lawless
Ordinances
,
and
endeavoured
to
be
suppressed
,
revived
its
head
,
and
began
to
recover
its
pristine
veneration
.
This
greatly
offended
the
Usurper
,
who
perceived
that
notwithstanding
all
his
Edicts
and
Interminations
against
the
Church
and
her
Protestant-Professors
,
Dr.
Gunning
's
Congregation
seized
and
Plundered
.
the
true
Religion
prevailed
against
him
,
and
with
that
infallibly
the
Kings
Interest
would
joyntly
rise
,
the
thought
of
which
was
most
grievous
,
and
not
endurable
.
Notice
being
given
him
now
of
a
private
Assembly
solemnizing
the
mercy
and
memory
of
that
day
,
at
Dr.
Gunning's
at
Exeter-house
in
the
Strand
;
he
sent
a
Band
of
Red-coats
to
seize
them
,
who
over-and-above
Plundered
and
Stript
many
of
them
,
and
carried
some
away
Prisoners
to
answer
this
contempt
against
his
Injunction
.
And
so
without
any
Blood
(
which
was
taken
for
a
wonder
)
in
this
interval
,
we
are
arrived
to
the
return
of
the
Parliament
after
the
expiration
of
the
Adjournment
,
when
according
to
the
4th
Article
of
the
Petition
and
Advice
,
which
provided
for
the
freedom
of
Parliaments
,
and
another
for
Another
House
,
as
't
was
called
(
Cromwel
giving
it
that
Nick-name
or
Mid-word
,
as
bordering
upon
an
Upper-House
of
Parliament
,
and
of
the
same
new
coyning
as
Protectorship
,
which
entrencht
upon
the
Soveraignty
:
ut
Canis
,
sit
Catuli
.
)
They
met
together
in
two
Houses
,
that
of
the
Commons
to
their
full
number
of
Elections
,
that
of
the
What
do
ye
call
um's
in
the
House
of
Lords
,
in
and
according
to
the
usual
customs
of
the
Peers
.
These
conscious
of
their
own
worthlessness
,
and
their
inconsistency
with
the
English
honour
,
like
the
basest
of
Upstarts
,
bewrayed
their
meanness
by
all
manner
of
abject
compliance
,
The
Other
House
as
instructed
fawn
upon
the
lower
▪
and
fawning
upon
the
Commons
their
half-Parent
,
who
being
rightly
constituted
,
disowned
the
spurious
Brat
,
as
a
by-blow
of
the
former
Convention
;
and
with
such
scorn
and
derision
did
they
receive
the
notice
of
their
meeting
there
,
besides
the
neglect
of
it
,
as
if
they
had
been
the
most
ridiculous
fellows
in
the
World
,
a
may-game
,
spleen-moving
spectacle
;
with
What
did
they
there
?
who
sent
for
them
?
what
was
their
business
?
like
intruding
Fidlers
to
serious
Company
.
Notwithstanding
,
these
Imps
of
the
Usurpers
Prerogative
,
as
instructed
,
persisted
in
their
Courtships
and
Blandiments
of
the
Commons
as
aforesaid
.
(
It
should
have
been
mentioned
,
that
Oliver
in
his
Speech
to
them
did
highly
magnifie
the
Settlement
,
as
beyond
all
expectation
that
ever
such
brave
things
would
have
been
done
for
England
,
and
hinted
much
of
the
establishment
of
Religion
,
(
the
Neck
whereof
was
just
then
broken
,
as
we
may
say
)
and
that
if
they
persevered
in
that
hopeful
beginning
,
the
Generations
to
come
should
call
them
Blessed
.
)
That
posterity
may
be
fully
informed
of
the
Institution
,
Number
,
and
Names
of
the
aforesaid
fellows
of
the
other
House
,
in
brief
take
this
account
.
The
Parliament
left
the
choice
of
them
to
Cromwel
by
the
Humble
Petition
,
and
he
graced
with
this
Dignity
most
of
his
superiour
Officers
,
some
Grandee-Comnonwealths-men
,
some
Presbyterians
,
some
of
the
Nobility
,
as
the
Earl
of
Manchester
,
Lord
Wharton
,
Lord
Mulgrave
,
all
of
his
Privy-Council
and
Relations
,
and
one
or
two
private
Gentlemen
,
of
which
Mr.
Hambden
was
one
:
The
Nobility
prudentially
forbore
sitting
with
that
riff-raff
,
the
Presbyterians
with
much
scruple
,
but
Sir
Arthur
Haslerig
utterly
abominated
it
,
and
kept
his
station
with
the
Commons
,
as
so
contra-distinguished
.
The
whole
number
named
was
62
,
of
which
some
ten
were
the
worst
of
Mechanicks
,
such
as
Pride

But
to
proceed
:
after
Cromwel
had
made
that
fair
Speech
,
Fiennes
the
Lord-Commissioner
of
the
Seal
resumed
(
by
his
order
)
the
discourse
,
which
was
to
beg
more
Money
:
for
Cromwel's
Heart
could
not
stoop
to
such
Humble
Oratory
;
declaring
,
That
the
Money
granted
(
though
thought
sufficient
)
fell
much
beneath
the
expence
and
necessity
of
the
State
,
especially
that
Tax
of
the
new
Buildings
failed
altogether
of
what
was
expected
and
intended
by
it
;
and
so
recommended
the
whole
affair
to
their
consideration
.
Being
sate
in
the
Houses
(
as
aforesaid
)
the
other
House
sent
to
the
Commons
(
by
two
of
their
number
)
a
Message
for
a
day
of
Humiliation
,
A
Humiliation
day
appointed
but
were
returned
with
this
Answer
,
The
House
would
consider
of
it
;
and
then
they
fell
upon
a
Vote
for
two
Months
time
to
exhibite
any
Petitions
against
undue
Elections
,
and
assented
to
a
Humiliation
,
which
was
kept
within
the
Walls
of
both
Houses
,
by
Dr.
Reynolds
,
and
Mr.
Caryl
,
Mr.
Calamy
,
and
Mr.
Griffith
,
half
Presbyterian
,
half
Independent
,
as
was
the
temper
and
constitution
of
this
Assembly
.
This
past
,
they
fell
a
questioning
the
Frame
of
the
Government
,
which
their
fellow-Members
had
erected
during
their
Seclusion
;
which
yet
notwithstanding
was
carried
but
by
two
Voices
in
the
Affirmative
:
and
in
a
resolution
of
unravelling
it
all
again
they
proceeded
very
fiercely
;
which
being
told
at
White-hall
,
allarmed
on
the
other
ear
with
danger
from
abroad
,
and
that
the
designe
had
already
footing
in
some
of
the
adjacent
Counties
;
Cromwel
dallied
not
with
this
two-handed
necessity
,
but
to
rid
himself
of
the
nearest
first
,
accompanied
with
his
Guards
,
he
by
Water
came
to
the
other
House
,
and
sent
for
the
tother
;
and
having
ranted
away
a
quarter
of
an
hour
out
of
the
old
Bias
,
(
for
now
he
plainly
perceived
the
old
stales
would
not
serve
,
and
that
his
Life
and
Greatness
lay
at
the
same
stake
;
)
to
break
them
up
,
he
broke
forth
into
very
rash
and
cholerick
Language
,
to
which
,
as
a
pertinent
resolution
,
corolla●y
and
period
,
he
added
an
adjuration
to
the
stain
of
his
larved
sanctity
,
in
these
or
such
Words
,
The
Parliament
dissolved
.
—
By
the
Living
God
I
must
and
do
dissolve
you
.
As
to
the
Royal
Enterprize
,
it
was
begun
ever
since
the
Investiture
of
Oliver
,
who
suspecting
such
practises
,
had
with
Money
debauch'd
the
Fidelity
o●
Sir
Richard
Willis
,
and
one
Corker
a
Parson
as
aforesaid
,
that
now
professed
Physick
,
and
made
always
one
at
any
Match
or
Horse-race
whatsoever
;
and
being
a
noted
Royalist
,
scrued
himself
into
all
Royalists
Company
and
Discourse
.
The
Treachery
of
these
men
was
employed
,
and
now
manifested
in
this
affair
,
and
thereby
Cromwel
was
certified
,
that
the
Marquess
of
Ormond
personally
laboured
in
t●●
Intrigue
,
and
for
that
purpose
was
arrived
in
England
,
to
lead
the
Forces
of
the
Loyal
Combination
,
which
were
instantly
to
be
seconded
with
an
Army
out
of
Flanders
:
Cavalier-Plot
discovered
,
and
Marq.
of
Ormond
hardly
escapes
.
Just
therefore
as
the
designe
was
ripe
,
he
emitted
out
a
Proclamation
of
twenty
miles
,
and
seized
divers
eminent
Royalists
,
and
among
them
Sir
Richard
Will●s
;
and
Feak
the
frantick
roarer
of
Sermons
was
sent
to
bear
them
company
,
but
soon
after
(
when
this
danger
from
the
Kings
party
was
more
compert
)
released
.
The
Marquess
of
Ormond
latitating
somewhere
in
Sussex
,
very
difficultly
,
by
the
assistance
of
one
Mr.
Graves
a
Gentleman
of
that
County
,
got
away
in
a
small
Boat
,
and
escaped
seizure
;
so
neer
was
he
set
,
and
the
designe
so
particularly
discovered
.
While
those
were
the
private
close
Intrigues
at
White-hall
,
more
publique
ones
were
agitating
in
the
Army
,
in
the
three
Kingdoms
;
from
every
Regiment
whereof
Addresses
were
signed
and
sent
to
the
Protector
,
wherein
they
glanced
upon
the
late
Parliament
,
and
offered
themselves
,
and
more
than
they
were
worth
,
to
the
defence
of
his
Highness's
Person
and
Government
,
against
the
Common
and
Secret
Enemy
:
the
like
came
from
Mardike
;
(
who
joyned
with
some
French
,
had
made
an
excursion
towards
Graveling
,
and
surprized
and
taken
two
out-Forts
,
and
so
returned
:
)
the
same
Complement
came
also
from
the
County-Troops
,
and
their
Officers
,
who
attended
the
Sheriffs
,
and
succeeded
in
the
room
of
the
Major-Generals
,
(
now
(
for
their
Exorbitances
and
dangerous
power
even
to
their
Author
,
and
because
the
work
for
which
they
were
called
was
over
)
laid
aside
)
in
place
of
Liveries
,
to
lessen
(
as
was
pretended
)
the
charge
of
that
place
;
but
in
truth
the
Protector
knowing
he
could
not
be
served
●aithfully
by
the
Gentry
,
Sheriffs
discharged
of
expence
at
Assizes
.
would
name
such
,
no
matter
whom
,
as
he
could
confide
in
;
and
the
expence
of
retinue
and
treating
the
Judges
being
taken
off
,
a
Yeoman
or
Tradesman
of
the
well-affected
might
serve
turn
,
and
make
profit
of
his
place
,
as
in
all
other
Offices
of
the
Commonwealth
;
and
in
this
very
prick
for
the
year
coming
of
58
,
Cromwel
observed
the
Rule
he
had
given
,
which
was
in
its
place
omitted
.
The
Victorious
Blake
returning
into
England
from
the
Coast
of
Spain
,
having
awed
all
the
Ports
and
Harbours
thereof
,
fell
sick
by
the
way
of
a
Disease
his
Seafaring
had
brought
upon
him
,
Blake
dies
returning
home
.
the
Scurvy
and
Dropsie
,
and
died
just
as
the
Fleet
was
entring
into
Plymouth-Sound
,
where
he
passionately
enquired
for
the
Land
.
His
Character
.
A
man
of
eminent
Fortitude
,
both
active
and
passive
.
A
master
of
as
many
Successes
and
Atchievements
,
as
any
person
except
Cromwel
,
being
never
Worsted
but
once
in
his
whole
Warfare
,
and
that
was
in
the
Downs
by
Van
Trump
,
and
had
merited
exceedingly
of
his
Country
,
had
he
been
as
tender
of
its
Home-bred
as
Forrain
Honour
,
of
which
he
was
jealously
observant
,
it
serving
for
his
argument
to
keep
the
Fleet
free
from
any
Divisions
of
Factions
upon
the
news
of
the
several
changes
in
England
.
He
was
buried
with
a
handsome
Funeral
,
just
in
the
same
manner
as
General
Dean
was
from
Greenwich
;
but
especial
notice
was
taken
of
Colonel
Lambert's
(
then
in
disgrace
)
attendance
on
his
Horse
,
between
whom
there
was
it
seems
a
more
intimate
correspondence
.
He
was
Interred
in
Hen.
7th's
Chappel
,
as
other
of
the
Grandees
that
died
in
the
Usurpation
usually
were
,
without
any
other
Monument
than
that
of
his
Indelible
Renown
for
pure
Valour
.
Anno
Dom.
1658.
NOw
did
the
Usurper
feel
the
Thornes
of
his
unjust
Acquists
in
the
restless
Fears
and
Disquiets
,
which
measured
every
moment
of
his
time
,
his
sleeps
being
disturbed
with
the
apprehensions
of
those
dangers
the
day
presented
unto
him
in
the
approaches
of
any
strange
Face
,
whose
motion
he
would
most
fixedly
attend
.
Above
all
,
he
very
carefully
observed
such
whose
mind
or
aspect
were
featured
with
any
chearful
and
debonair
Lineaments
;
for
such
he
boded
were
they
that
would
dispatch
him
:
to
that
purpose
he
always
went
secretly
Armed
,
Cromwel
's
Fears
and
perplexed
condition
.
both
offensive
and
defensive
,
and
never
stirred
without
a
great
Guard
.
In
his
usual
Journey
between
White-hall
and
Hampton-Court
,
by
several
Roads
,
he
drove
full-speed
in
the
Summer-time
,
making
such
a
dust
with
his
Life-guard
,
part
before
,
and
part
behinde
,
at
a
convenient
distance
,
for
fear
of
choaking
him
with
it
,
that
one
could
hardly
see
for
a
quarter
of
an
hour
together
,
and
always
came
in
some
private
way
or
other
:
he
likewise
never
Lodged
above
twice
or
thrice
in
a
Room
,
to
which
there
was
no
passage
but
by
twenty
several
Locks
.
Sometimes
he
would
pretend
to
be
merry
,
and
invite
persons
of
whom
he
had
some
suspition
to
his
Cups
,
and
then
drill
out
of
their
opened
Hearts
such
secrets
as
he
fisht
for
.
He
had
freaks
also
to
divert
the
vexations
of
his
misgiving
thoughts
,
calling
in
by
the
beat
of
Drum
his
Foot-guards
,
like
a
Kennel
of
Hounds
to
snatch
away
the
scraps
and
reliques
of
his
Table
.
He
saw
every
mans
hand
was
against
him
,
and
that
he
ran
daily
into
farther
perplexities
,
out
of
which
it
was
impossible
to
extricate
,
or
secure
himself
therein
,
without
running
into
further
danger
,
so
that
he
began
to
alter
much
in
the
tenour
of
his
former
converse
,
and
to
run
and
transform
into
the
manners
of
the
ancient
Tyrants
,
thinking
to
please
and
mitigate
his
own
Tortures
with
the
sufferings
of
others
.
Royalists
ordered
to
depart
from
London
.
Thus
began
the
year
with
a
Proclamation
of
the
old
relish
,
for
Royalists
to
depart
London
twenty
miles
,
&c.
and
instantly
Colonel
Russel
,
Sir
William
Compton
,
Sir
William
Clayton
,
and
other
old
Prison-guests
of
that
party
were
Committed
to
the
Tower
;
but
many
of
those
against
whom
the
information
from
the
two
aforesaid
intelligencers
was
given
,
were
Gentlemen
and
Citizens
not
in
any
service
or
designe
before
;
A
Plot
discovered
,
and
the
persons
engaged
in
it
secured
.
whether
out
of
some
reluctancy
of
conscience
they
would
not
ruine
their
old
Comrades
,
or
for
fear
of
discovering
of
his
Spies
,
of
which
he
should
have
perpetual
need
,
Cromwel
thought
not
fit
to
engage
and
set
them
upon
such
face
to
face
,
they
being
not
otherwise
to
be
decoy'd
.
These
fresh-men
were
some
of
them
Citizens
of
London
;
as
Mr.
Manly
a
Merchant
,
Mr.
Carent
,
Mr.
Iackson
,
and
Mr.
Sumner
:
the
other
principals
,
&c.
were
Mr.
Mordant
the
Earl
of
Peterburgh's
Brother
,
and
Dr.
Iohn
Hewet
Preacher
then
at
St.
Gregories
by
Pauls
;
Mr.
(
after
Sir
Thomas
)
Woodcock
,
Mr.
Maunsel
,
both
engaged
in
the
Kings
escape
and
shipping
out
of
Sussex
from
Worcester
;
Mr.
Mallory
,
Mr.
Stapely
,
Mr.
Hartgil
Baron
,
and
others
:
most
of
these
were
taken
and
kept
close
Prisoners
,
till
such
time
as
some
were
wrought
upon
to
witness
against
their
fellows
,
and
then
set
at
liberty
.
The
Designe
was
laid
in
Kent
,
Essex
,
Surry
,
and
Sussex
;
the
King
being
ready
to
have
passed
over
,
The
King
in
readiness
with
Forces
under
General
Marsin
.
(
as
before
)
with
an
Army
under
the
Conduct
of
the
Count
of
Marsin
,
the
Prince
of
Conde's
General
,
newly
honoured
with
the
Order
of
the
Garter
:
but
this
Treachery
frustrated
the
Designe
.
Which
being
so
well
known
to
Cromwel
,
and
that
other
places
,
as
Portsmouth
,
Hull
,
and
such
Maritime
Fortresses
were
treated
for
and
reckoned
into
the
bargain
;
he
set
afoot
the
like
practises
by
his
own
Emissaries
and
Trepans
,
viz.
upon
Sir
Henry
Slingsby
a
Prisoner
off
and
on
ever
since
Worcester-fight
in
Hull
,
some
of
the
Officers
whereof
insinuating
into
his
acquaintance
,
and
casting
out
some
disgustful
words
against
the
Protector
,
and
mixing
some
overtures
of
their
good
will
to
the
King
;
withal
intimating
that
if
he
could
procure
a
Commission
from
his
Majesty
for
them
,
Sir
Henry
Slingsby
decoyed
.
the
Town
was
at
his
service
.
The
old
Loyal
Gentleman
gladly
embracing
a
proffer
of
such
concernment
,
made
use
of
an
old
Commission
he
had
by
him
;
which
being
the
length
of
their
Line
,
these
Officers
hooked
him
,
and
sent
him
up
to
the
same
Condemnation
a
Prisoner
in
the
Tower
.
The
Names
of
these
Officers
were
Major
Waterhouse
,
Captain
Overton
,
and
one
Lieutenant
Thompson
.
The
chief
Actors
being
thus
secured
,
Cromwel
,
to
Collogue
with
the
City
,
sent
for
the
Mayor
and
Aldermen
,
and
communicated
to
them
the
Plot
,
naming
several
persons
and
particulars
,
many
of
which
he
accommodated
to
the
danger
of
the
City
,
and
dressed
them
for
their
horrour
and
resentment
,
telling
them
that
the
danger
was
not
over
,
though
so
happily
foreseen
;
taking
hereby
the
advantage
of
having
a
new
Militia
chosen
of
the
most
desperate
Phanaticks
,
and
his
party
in
London
,
&c.
A
general
Train
was
soon
after
made
in
Finsbury-fields
,
and
Addresses
by
the
Officers
,
testifying
their
resolutions
to
adhere
to
the
Protector
,
delivered
in
very
express
and
humouring
Language
.
When
he
had
thus
raised
the
expectation
of
the
story
,
(
though
the
chief
in
the
business
understanding
they
were
detected
,
and
many
of
their
associates
in
Prison
,
had
defisted
from
any
further
Attempt
)
on
the
16
of
May
he
doubled
his
Guards
,
The
City
Alarm'd
with
a
pretended
Plot
,
May
16.
and
sent
an
Alarm
to
the
City
,
that
that
night
the
Royalists
had
appointed
for
their
rising
and
firing
the
Town
;
and
forthwith
marched
several
Forces
of
Horse
and
Foot
into
the
Liberties
;
the
Drums
of
the
Trained-bands
likewise
beat
,
and
all
the
6
Regiments
appeared
presently
,
and
kept
Guard
that
night
,
being
employed
for
the
most
part
in
seizing
some
of
those
Citizens
afore-mentioned
,
with
divers
others
,
as
Mr.
Southcot
,
Mr.
Hern
,
and
some
young
men
and
Apprentices
whom
his
Drags
had
Trepan'd
.
These
made
work
for
a
High
Court
of
Iustice
,
now
founded
and
erected
upon
a
Law
of
the
late
Parliament
,
the
Act
for
security
of
his
Highness's
person
;
who
restrained
the
power
thereby
given
with
this
clause
,
that
they
should
Try
none
but
such
as
should
be
named
to
them
by
him
or
his
Council
;
for
it
might
be
by
the
same
Sophistry
as
the
Parliament
fought
against
the
King
for
the
preservation
of
his
Person
,
they
might
try
the
Usurper
for
the
security
of
his
Highness
.
Such
a
strange
Judicature
was
this
High
Court
of
Iustice
,
that
they
that
advised
,
framed
,
and
established
it
,
could
not
tell
how
to
binde
or
tye
up
the
Mastiff
from
tearing
his
Masters
Throat
:
—
Nec
Lex
est
Iustior
ulla
,
Quam
necis
artifices
arte
perire
sua
.
—
Certainly
haunted
the
minde
of
this
Tormenter
;
most
of
the
Lords
of
the
other
House
were
Commissioners
herein
,
the
Earl
of
Salisbury
being
named
among
them
.
A
High
Court
of
Iustice
.
The
Tryal
of
Sir
Henry
Slingsby
,
and
Dr.
John
Hewit
.
Before
these
,
Sir
Henry
Slingsby
and
Dr.
Hewet
were
first
brought
,
and
Sir
Henry
charged
that
he
and
one
Gardiner
(
never
heard
of
,
but
such
another
as
Iohn
Doe
)
did
Traiterously
Conspire
against
the
Life
and
Dignity
,
&c.
and
the
said
Trepans
brought
as
Evidence
to
prove
it
.
He
defended
himself
by
allegation
that
that
which
was
said
by
him
was
but
in
jest
and
discourse
,
and
that
the
Action
was
altogether
impossible
,
he
being
but
a
single
person
.
Dr.
Hewit
would
not
acknowledge
the
Court
,
but
pleaded
several
Cases
against
it
,
and
was
taken
or
surprized
for
a
Mute
.
Had
he
pleaded
,
it
is
thought
he
might
have
escaped
;
for
Mallory
(
the
main
Witness
against
him
)
was
fled
for
the
present
.
Mr.
John
Mordant
tryed
and
acquitted
.
Next
,
Mr.
Iohn
Mordant
was
set
to
the
Bar
,
who
argued
his
Case
so
warily
and
pliantly
,
after
a
Demurrer
to
the
Court
,
taking
Notes
of
the
Witnesses
Evidence
,
that
he
alone
of
the
three
was
quitted
but
by
one
Voice
;
Colonel
Pride
(
his
undoubted
Fate
,
troubled
with
the
Stone
,
and
being
long
at
Urine
)
withdrawing
himself
on
that
occasion
,
while
in
the
mean
time
the
Court
by
one
suffrage
agreed
upon
his
acquittal
;
so
that
he
may
well
be
said
Evasisse
Calculis
,
it
being
the
custom
of
the
Court
to
give
Sentence
by
plurality
of
Voices
.
Mr.
Mallory
being
retaken
,
together
with
Sir
Humphry
Bennet
and
Mr.
Woodcock
,
were
charged
next
with
the
said
Designes
.
Mallory
pleaded
Guilty
,
and
was
respited
and
saved
.
Sir
Humphry
Bennet's
Cause
was
not
then
determined
.
Mr.
Woodcock
so
handsomely
and
bravely
defended
himself
,
that
they
could
not
fasten
the
Charge
.
In
the
mean
while
,
on
the
8
of
Iune
,
Sir
Henry
Slingsbury
and
Dr.
Hewit
were
beheaded
on
Tower-hill
;
Sir
Henry
Slingsby
and
Dr.
Hewit
Beheaded
on
Tower-hill
,
June
8.
Sir
Henry
suffering
very
readily
and
with
submission
;
the
Doctor
most
devoutly
and
courageously
,
with
prayers
for
the
King
.
The
Tyrant
not
satisfied
with
this
,
brought
in
more
,
viz.
Mr.
Carent
,
(
in
whose
Ware-house
Arms
were
found
)
and
Iohn
Summers
,
Edward
Stacy
,
Iohn
Bettely
,
Edward
Ashton
,
Oliver
Allen
,
and
Fryar
to
the
same
Bar
,
where
they
were
all
but
Mr.
Carent
Condemned
,
who
escaped
by
the
noble
refusal
of
one
Mr.
Pits
of
the
same
party
(
whose
Examination
they
relyed
upon
)
to
give
Evidence
against
his
Friends
,
and
chose
rather
to
suffer
Imprisonment
,
and
a
Fine
of
500
l.
to
be
laid
on
him
,
than
to
be
branded
with
the
note
of
Treachery
,
how
fairly
soever
to
be
excused
.
Three
of
the
other
,
Ashton
Bettely
and
Stacy
hanged
,
&c.
viz.
Ashton
(
as
before
,
and
at
the
time
of
his
seizure
,
a
Prisoner
to
Newgate
)
and
Iohn
Bettely
,
were
Executed
at
Tower-street
and
Cheap-side
by
Hanging
and
Quartering
,
both
protesting
their
Innocency
:
Bettely
after
he
had
hung
almost
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
pulled
off
his
Cap
with
his
Hands
.
Stacy
two
days
after
was
Hanged
against
the
Exchange
in
Cornhil
.
None
of
them
but
were
worthy
of
far
better
ends
;
which
made
the
Tyrant
most
Execrably
Odious
.
Earl
of
Warwick
dieth
.
The
old
Earl
of
Warwick
(
presently
after
the
Espousals
of
his
Grand-son
young
Mr.
Rich
,
with
Frances
the
youngest
Daughter
of
the
Protector
)
died
April
18.
to
whom
,
his
late
honorary
services
,
and
dishonourable
Relations
to
this
Protector
,
were
none
of
the
least
unhappinesses
.
At
the
end
of
May
the
Lord
Faulconbridge
the
other
son
(
for
Fleetwood
nor
Claypole
had
either
Manners
or
Worth
to
be
employed
in
the
Complement
)
was
sent
away
with
a
great
Train
to
Salute
and
Gratulate
the
French
King
,
now
at
Calis
,
upon
the
opening
of
the
Campania
,
and
was
received
very
splendidly
,
in
the
mean
while
that
his
Uncle
Sir
Henry
Slingsby
was
adjudged
to
Death
:
and
though
he
returned
on
the
fifth
of
Iune
,
three
days
before
Execution
,
and
did
what
he
could
to
save
him
;
yet
all
proved
in
vain
:
for
since
Mr.
Mordant
and
Mr.
Woodcock
had
escaped
,
there
was
no
room
for
his
life
.
Soon
after
,
Monsieur
Mancini
,
Mazarine's
Nephew
,
and
the
Duke
of
Crequi
,
came
hither
with
the
return
of
the
Complement
,
and
were
entertained
highly
at
Brook-house
and
at
Hampton-court
,
with
Feasting
and
Hunting
,
and
presently
returned
;
and

the

at

,
of
a
disease
in
her
Inwards
;
and
being
taken
Frantick
with
the
stopping
of
her
Terms
,
raved
much
against
the
bloody
cruelties
of
her
Father
,
and
about
the
death
of
Dr.
Hewit
,
for
whom
(
to
give
her
her
due
)
't
is
said
she
interceded

She
was
brought
by
Water
to
the

of
such

hunted
him
with

thousands
of

went

and

,
w●●ch
hotly
Alarm'd
the
Spaniards
in
all
their
quarters
:
hereupon
Don
Iohn
of
Austria
takes
these
two
things
into
serious
consideration
:
first
,
the
Importance
of
the
place
;
●or
its
Situation
,
it
was
a
Key
to
Flanders
,
a
Frontier
to
France
,
(
next
after
Graveling
)
and
a
certain
supply
of
Moneys
,
by
continual
Booties
brought
in
thither
by
his
Men
of
War
.
On
the
other
side
,
should
he
l●se
Dunkirk
,
the
English
(
in
whose
possession
it
would
be
put
)
had
a
Door
opened
,
and
fit
opportunity
to
bid
fair
for
all
Flanders
:
Here
might
an
Army
be
landed
from
England
,
and
from
hence
incursions
made
into
the
heart
of
the
Country
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
Spanish
Ports
,
Newport
and
Ostend
,
could
expect
no
less
than
to
be
perpetually
infested
by
Men
of
War
;
which
would
utterly
spoil
their
Trade
,
Don
John
of
Austria
designes
to
relieve
Dunkirk
.
and
ruine
the
Inhabitants
.
These
and
such-like
considerations
,
mounted
Don
Iohn
upon
fixt
resolutions
to
undertake
the
Relief
of
Dunkirk
,
though
it
were
to
the
hazard
of
his
whole
Army
.
In
the
mean
while
,
the
Confederate
Forces
Beleaguering
this
strong
place
,
did
in
a
small
time
(
working
like
Moles
)
run
their
Trenches
to
the
Spanish
Counterscarp
;
and
still
encroaching
upon
the
Wall
,
they
promised
fair
to
a
speedy
accomplishment
of
their
Designe
.
These
things
were
well
known
to
the
Spanish
Army
,
who
now
saw
the
Relief
of
Dunkirk
would
admit
of
no
delay
;
for
were
it
not
speedily
accomplished
,
the
Town
of
necessity
must
lie
prostrate
to
the
Enemies
mercy
.
The
better
to
effect
which
therefore
,
Don
Iohn
the
Spanish
General
,
having
drained
his
Garrisons
to
fill
up
his
Army
,
suddenly
advanced
with
15000
men
to
the
relief
of
his
distressed
Friends
;
these
by
a
swift
march
through
Fuernes
,
quickly
seated
themselves
upon
some
sandy
Hills
,
within
an
English
mile
and
a
half
of
Turenne
the
French
General
's
Camp
.
The
report
of
the
Enemies
neer
advance
,
made
both
the
French
and
English
Officers
consult
upon
the
best
course
that
could
be
taken
to
repel
the
Force
that
now
sate
upon
their
Skirts
,
and
endeavoured
to
frustrate
their
labours
in
the
present
Siege
,
if
no
worse
success
.
Time
for
consultation
being
short
,
(
for
it
was
on
the
over-night
)
they
agreed
unamimously
to
give
the
Spaniards
the
next
morning
a
warm
Breakfast
.
All
this
night
the
Officers
of
both
Nations
were
very
busie
to
provide
for
the
ensuing
action
;
the
Army
being
found
sufficient
to
fight
a
Field-battle
,
and
at
the
same
time
to
keep
the
Besieged
from
ranging
abroad
.
For
this
service
most
of
the
English
were
drawn
from
their
Entrenchment
;
and
being
joyned
to
the
French
Horse
,
they
marched
against
the
Enemy
.
In
the
morning
(
both
Armies
being
come
near
together
)
it
was
perceived
,
the
Spaniards
posture
was
rather
Defensive
than
Offensive
;
but
the
English
Commanders
knowing
it
was
no
time
to
dally
,
and
being
desirous
withal
to
shew
the
Discipline
of
their
own
Country
,
(
which
is
to
make
seeing
and
fighting
all
one
)
did
presently
mount
the
Sand-hills
,
with
a
Forlorn
of
300
Musqueriers
,
Dunkirk
Battle
.
Commanded
by
Captain
Devaux
;
after
these
followed
the
newly-made
General
Lockhart's
Regiment
,
and
others
successively
.
The
Spaniards
perceiving
that
the
resolution
of
these
men
was
furiously
to
fall
on
at
But-end
,
as
highly
resolved
to
keep
them
off
at
the
Arms-end
,
by
pouring
down
perpetually
Volleys
of
Great
and
Small
shot
.
General
Lockhart
(
newly
preferred
to
that
Command
,
and
Embassador
nevertheless
to
the
French
King
)
seeing
the
French
unwilling
to
enter
,
now
the
English
had
opened
the
gap
;
and
on
the
other
side
,
seeing
the
gallantry
of
his
own
Regiment
,
who
although
they
could
no
longer
gain
ground
,
yet
still
kept
their
station
,
notwithstanding
they
were
exposed
to
the
Enemies
Assaults
;
caused
a
considerable
Brigade
of
fresh
men
to
reinforce
those
that
had
first
born
the
brunt
of
the
Battle
.
This
Reserve
(
through
General
Lockhart's
care
)
coming
in
time
to
the
relief
of
their
tired
fellows
,
made
no
long
delay
,
but
fell
into
the
Spanish
Foot
with
the
But-ends
of
their
Musquets
,
who
not
being
able
to
withstand
their
courage
,
The
Spanish
Army
routed
.
left
the
Field
,
and
fled
towards
Fuernes
.
The
French
Horse
seeing
the
good
success
of
the
English
Foot
,
did
likewise
make
a
Charge
upon
the
Spanish
Cavalry
,
who
being
disheartned
with
the
routing
of
their
Infantry
,
thought
it
their
safest
course
to
run
after
them
.
But
the
French
shewed
excellent
valour
in
Pursuit
:
for
the
day
being
won
,
none
durst
stand
in
their
way
;
the
poor
Spaniards
were
sadly
handled
by
them
,
and
hew'd
down
on
all
sides
;
and
being
extreamly
scattered
in
their
flight
,
both
the
English
and
French
were
put
to
the
trouble
of
gleaning
for
Prisoners
;
the
custody
and
benefit
of
whom
redounded
only
to
the
French
,
the
English
being
meerly
Auxiliary
in
this
Field
,
and
were
to
be
recompenced
by
the
Siege
of
Dunkirk
,
whither
in
Triumph
they
returned
,
and
possessed
themselves
of
their
former
Posts
.
The
Duke
of
York
's
Conduct
and
Valour
in
this
service
.
This
Fight
was
managed
chiefly
on
the
Spanish
side
,
by
the
noble
Duke
of
York
,
(
accompanied
with
his
Brother
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
)
the
Military
Renown
of
whose
actions
very
early
raised
it self
in
the
French
service
,
(
as
before
)
and
was
brighter
far
,
and
more
eminent
in
the
glories
of
this
day
,
which
suffering
an
envious
Eclipse
,
drew
greater
admiration
upon
him
:
he
did
not
only
maintain
the
Fight
till
the
irresistible
daring
gallantry
of
the
Honour-seeking
Red-coats
made
the
Spaniard
abandon
his
Punctilio's
,
and
mend
his
retreating
pace
,
but
sustained
the
impression
upon
the
flight
,
and
at
least
saved
the
day
.
Colonel
Blague
,
who
Commanded
the
Kings
Regiment
there
of
Foot
,
did
very
nobly
likewise
.
Of
that
side
were
slain
1000
and
odd
,
and
1500
taken
Prisoners
,
with
all
the
Artillery
,
Bag
and
Baggage
,
besides
800
Officers
,
(
upon
which
account
the
French
refused
Ransome
or
Exchange
,
because
Don
Iohn
should
be
straightned
for
Commanders
to
his
new
Levies
.
)
Of
the
slain
were
the
Counts
of
Motene
and
Mille
,
the
Sieurs
of
Coligni
and
Bo●teville
.
On
the
French
side
were
slain
,
the
Marquess
of
Biragne
Captain
of
the
Cardinal's
Guard
,
the
Sieur
Berbezet
Lieutenant-Colonel
to
Turenne
,
with
some
Captains
;
the
Marquess
of
Castelnau
was
mortally
wounded
through
the
Body
,
of
which
he
died
during
the
siege
of
Graveling
(
which
was
next
besieged
by
the
French
alone
under
Le
Ferte
,
where
the
Marquess
of
Vxelles
,
the
Counts
of
Varennes
and
Moret
were
killed
by
one
shot
)
the
Marshals
Staff
of
France
being
given
him
for
a
Cordial
upon
his
Death-bed
.
On
the
English
side
were
slain
Lieutenant-Colonel
Fenwick
in
ascending
the
Hill
,
who
died
of
his
Wounds
;
and
one
Colonel
Drummond
a
Scotch
Voluntier
:
Capt.
Iones
,
who
Commanded
the
Horse
in
Hispaniola
,
did
venturously
and
gallantly
here
;
but
was
taken
Prisoner
,
and
recovered
again
,
and
Knighted
after
by
Cromwel
.
Some
200
Red-coats
were
slain
in
the
Battle
:
after
which
,
the
resolute
Governour
of
Dunkirk
the
Marquess
De
Lede
(
in
a
Salley
he
made
)
was
shot
with
a
Bullet
by
the
English
;
The
Governour
Marquess
De
Lede
killed
.
which
Fate
he
owed
more
to
his
Honour
than
his
Reason
.
He
being
dead
,
a
cold
damp
seized
upon
the
Dunkirkers

who
seeing
what
prodigous
Balls
of
fire
were
flung
out
of
the
English
Morter-pieces
into
the
Town
,
were
sorely
terrified
thereby
;
and
so
much
the
more
,
in
regard
of
their
not
being
accustomed
to
such
Engines
,
his
Holiness
the
Pope
having
prohibited
the
use
of
Granadoes
amongst
his
Catholicks
,
to
prevent
burning
of
Churches
.
Considering
therefore
that
the
longer
they
stood
out
,
the
harder
would
be
their
Terms
;
and
seeing
all
hope
of
Relief
by
Land
was
lost
,
the
Sea
secured
against
them
,
and
daily
discouragements
arising
every
way
;
therefore
,
to
prevent
further
inconveniences
,
the
Spaniards
offered
Capitulation
;
which
being
easily
granted
,
And

upo●
Articles
.
it
was
agreed
that
the
Town
should
be
surrendered
upon
these
following
Articles
.
1.
That
the
Town
should
be
yielded
up
with
all
the
great
Guns
,
their
stores
of
Victuals
,
Magazine
of
Arms
and
Ammunition
,
without
any
Imbezlement
.
2.
The
Officers
and
Souldiers
to
march
out
with
Drums
beating
,
Colours
flying
,
two
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
and
their
Baggage
.
3.
That
they
should
have
the
liberty
to
march
with
a
Convoy
to
conduct
them
to
St.
Omers
.
4.
The
Inhabitants
to
remain
indemnified
in
their
persons
,
and
to
enjoy
their
former
Customes
and
Priviledges
for
two
years
,
and
not
to
be
molested
touching
the
Exercise
of
their
Religion
.
These
Articles
being
ratified
by
the
King
of
France
,
this
strong
Town
of
Dunkirk
was
delivered
up
into
the
hands
of
the
English
,
The
English

.
by
the
King
of
France
and
Cardinal
in
person
,
upon
Tuesday
Iune

,
1658.
The
Spaniards
at
the
same
time
quitting
it
.
Here
marched
out
1000
Horse
and
Foot
,
and
700
more
(
that
had
been
Wounded
in
the
Siege
)
followed
after
,
as
their
strength
gave
them
leave
.
The
English
having
possession
of
the
Town
,
found
in
it
140
Guns
,
all
Brass
except
eight
,
with
Ammunition
and
Provision
sufficient
to
maintain
it
for
a
great
while
longer
than
it
was
kept
.
Dunkirk
thus
possess'd
by
the
English
,
the
Inhabitants
were
sworn
to
Fealty
and
Allegiance
to
the
Protector
,
and
a
Regiment
of
Foot
,
and
〈◊〉
Troop
of
Horse
were
commodated
to
the
French
under
Marshal
Turenne
,
yet
keeping
the
Field
,
while
La
Ferte
carried
on
the
Siege
at
Graveling
,
and
the
Cardinal
at
Dunkirk
diverted
himself
with
the
delightful
Wonder
the
Naseby
,
as
he
at
his
treatment
on
board
the
same
by
General
Montague
expressed
himself
.
The
Fortune
of
this
Usurper
,
by
its
constancy
and
confluence
of
success
in
so
many
desperate
hazards
and
adventures
,
in
which
his
ambition
had
engaged
him
,
made
the
Nation
give
him
over
for
impatible
,
and
as
one
exempted
from
those
Conditions
to
which
other
Mortals
were
obliged
,
and
with
a
setled
Terrour
to
expect
the
Extremity
of
all
mischief
,
and
that
it
would
come
at
last
to
that
Calamity
and
Tragical
Slavery
,
of
delivering
our
Children
and
Posierity
Tributaries
and
Vassals
to
the
Lust
and
Dominion
of
his
new-found
Family
.
Nothing
was
more
certainly
concluded
on
,
than
this
,
that
before
we
should
arrive
at
our
Liberty
,
and
our
Fundamental
Rights
and
Laws
,
we
were
to
pass
through
another
Red-sea
,
and
its
like
coloured
Element
of
Fire
.
Such
his
untractable
obstinacy
and
fixed
resolution
of
uncontroulable
Empire
or
vast
Ruine
,
that
Nero's

would
better

Nor
had
ever
any
that
confidence
in
any
presages
or
Fortuning-accidents
,
as
to
suppose
them
of
any
manner
of
concernment
or
portent
to
him
?
no
,
though
the
loud
voice
of
Heaven
had
Proclaimed
it
in
a
most
mighty
and
terrible
Wind
:
for
as
to
that
of
the
Whale
,
and
the
approaches
of
Death
to
him
,
in
his
Family
by
the
decease
of
Mrs.
Claypole
;
it
was
thought
a
foolish
curiosity
and
a
wresting
of
Providence
,
(
so
much
his
Friend
and
familiar
Favourite
)
to
apply
their
Prognosticks
to
his
departure
;
and
I
may
safely
say
,
that
had
it
been
Treason
to
Imagine
the
Death
of
this
Protector
,
very
few
but
his
Doctors
would
have
been
guilty
of
it
;
and
one
reason
was
,
the
verdure
of
his
Lawrel
and
yet-flourishing
Triumphs
,
whose
blooming
Glories
computed
him
very
young
and
vigorous
,
(
for
Fortune
is
seldom
seen
a
friend
to
Old
Age
)
which
his
trim
and
dress
did
help
to
personate
.
In
short
,
his
own
Domesticks
and
those
best
acquainted
with
him
,
nay
even
himself
,
were
presumptuously
confirmed
against
any
thoughts
of
his
death
,
in
the
very
desperation
of
his
life
,
as
will
presently
appear
.
For
it
pleased
Heaven
,
that
had
given
us
so
many
bitter
Cups
to
drink
,
now
to
throw
away
the
dregs
of
them
in
the
Carcass
of
this
Usurper
,
and
empty
this
Vessel
of
his
Wrath
,
which
was
as
the
7th
Vial
,
justly
taking
the
forfeiture
of
all
his

that
he
might
not
die
in
debt
to
the
exhausted
credit
of
Prodigal
Success
.
And
who
knows
but
he
might
decease
on
that
his
Rubrick
day
,
which
he
annually
celebrated
with
a
Thanksgiving
,
to
give
the
Nation
a
most
just
and
solemn
cause
of
gratitude
?
not
to
be
so
uncharitable
as
to
say
,
that
he
descended
with
the
train
and
tincture
of
that
days
slaughter
,
as
the
further
commaculation
of
his
unrepented
Parricide
.
He
was
taken
sick
at
Hampton-court
,
having
not
been
well
in
Minde
sometime
before
(
troubled
with
the
last
frantick
words
of
his
beloved
Daughter
Claypole
,
who
threatned
Judgement
like
another
mad
Cassandra
,
and
with
the
insinuations
and
encroachments
of
the
Republicans
party
into
the
Army
;
nor
were
some
of
his
Relations
taint-free
of
those
principles
,
but
were
winding
towards
them
.
)
The
Disease
was
a
bastard
Tertian
,
which
appeared
not
at
first
of
any
danger
;
but
after
a
weeks
time
it
began
to
shew
very
desperate
Symptoms
;
wherefore
he
was
removed
to
White-hall
,
where
his
Chaplains
,
and
others
of
that
pious
Family
,
kept
private
meetings
and
Fastings
for
his
recovery
;
of
which
they
were
so
vainly
confident
(
as
before
)
that
they
obtruded
their
unseasonable
thanks
to
God
for
the
certainty
of
it
,
and
with
the
same
unseasonable
flattery
and
pickthank
with
the
Protector
,
deluded
him
into
the
like
perswasion
,
so
that
he
told
his
Physicians
,
He
should
not
die
this
bout
;
but
the
Fits
proving
worse
and
worse
,
Cromwel
senseless
before
his
death

and
causing
him
to
talk
Idlery
,
and

they
in
Council
concluded
,
he
could
scarce
survive
another
Paroxysm
:
at
which
the
Privy-Council
being
astonish'd
,
they
immediately
repaired
to
him
about
his
fetling
a
Successor
,
whom
by
the
Petition
he
was
to
declare
in
his
Life-time
;
but
he
was
then
scarce
himself
;
which
they
perceiving
,
interrogated
him
,
if
he
appointed
not
his
Son
Richard
?
whereunto
he
answered
in
the
Affirmative
.
It
was
thought
that
he
had
designed
Fleetwood
in
his
ultimate
thoughts
;
but
the
distraction
of
the
choice
betwixt
his
Son
and
Son-in-law
,
had
made
him
leave
it
undetermined
:
(
a
private
Will
relating
to
his
Family
he
made
at
his
first
sickning
at
Hampton-court
.
)
Continuing
in
this
condition
,
he
died
on
Friday
the
3d
of
September
,
at
three
of
the
clock
in
the
afternoon
,
though
divers
rumours
were
spread
,
that
he
was
carried
away
in
the
Tempest
the
day
before
.
His
Body
being
opened
and
Embalmed
,
his
Milt
was
found
full
of
Corruption
and
Filth
;
which
was
so
strong
and
stinking
,
that
after
the
Corps
were
Embalmed
and
filled
with
Aromatick
Odours
,
and
wrapt
in
Cerecloath
six
double
,
in
an
inner-sheet
of
Lead
,
and
a
strong
Wooden-coffin
;
yet
the
Filth
broke
through
them
all
,
and
raised
such
a
noysome
stink
,
that
they
were
forced
to
bury
him
out
of
hand
:
but
his
Name
and
Memory
stinks
worse
.
His
Character
.
As
to
his
Character
,
little
can
be
added
more
,
than
what
hath
been
said
in
the
progress
of
this
Chronicle
:
This
various
shifting
Polititian
,
best
shewing
himself
in
his
Contaction
,
nearness
and
present
relation
to
the
several
Changes
,
and
diversities
of
Affairs
,
Counsels
,
and
Governments
he
passed
;
as
the
Chamelion
appears
in
that
colour
that
is
next
to
it
,
and
cannot
otherwise
be
described
.
He
was
alter
Ego
,
or
with
the
Comedian
,
he
might
have
given
this
devise
,
Egomet
ipse
non
sum
Ego
;
and
certainly
the
first
of
his
designes
were
Enthusiasted
,
and
he
acted
beyond
himself
,
as
prevailing
in
many
things
beyond
the
power
of
Reason
or
Strength
,
and
indeed
all
imagination
;
such
was
the
subversion
of
the
Government
,
a
thing
not
to
be
thought
possible
to
be
projected
by
one
of
such
(
every
way
)
Insufficiencies
.
He
was
as
feat
a
Priest
as
a
Prince
,
yet
acted
them
both
very
well
,
according
to
the
humour
of
the
times
,
which
are
the
Standard
of
Government
.
Sometimes
Alloy
is
as
current
as
pure
Metal
;
and
he
could
never
have
Princed
it
,
but
through
the
distempers
and
misrules
that
raigned
before
him
;
and
his
Preaching
was
none
of
the
unserviceablest
Functions
to
the
preceding
Anarchy
and
his
own
Usurpation
:
which
made
him
never
quit
it
to
the
last
.
The
Turkish
Emperours
have
always
a
Trade
;
and
Oliver's
was
this
Knack
,
with
which
he
was
so
much
in
love
,
that
when
in
the
Humble
Petition
there
was
inserted
an
Article
against
publick
Preachers
being
Members
of
Parliament
,
he
excepted
against
it
disertly
and
expresly
,
Because
he
(
he
said
)
was
one
,
and
divers
Officers
of
the
Army
,
by
whom
much
good
had
been
done
,
and
those
things
brought
about
;
and
therefore
desired
they
would
explain
the
said
Article
.
But
I
am
engaged
far
beyond
my
bounds
.
—
He
was
,
in
sum
,
fit
to
have
made
a
Prince
of
Tartars
,
or
some
other
Cannibal
Barbarous
and
Perfidious
people
;
or
had
he
been
a
Hun
or
a
Vandal
,
we
should
have
read
him
big
and
Famous
in
History
.
His
Court-friends
did
so
far
extol
him
,
that
after
his
Death
Sterry
,
one
of
his
Sycophant
Chaplains
,
was
heard
to
preach
,
That
he
was
certain
,
that
that
blessed
Person
(
meaning
Cromwel
)
was
now
sitting
at
the
Right
Hand
of
God
making
Intercession
,
&c.
which
was
more
than
any
meer
Humane
Glory
could
reach
unto
:
and
his
Funerals
were
set
out
to
such
a
pomp
and
ostentation
,
to
vouch
that
value
which
by
such
people
was
set
upon
him
.
Here
should
have
been
inserted
the
Honour
he
arrogated
to
himself
by
bestowing
of
Dignities
:
but
there
being
but
one
Viscount
feigned
by
him
,
and
he
the
right
Noble
now
Earl
of
Carlisle
,
and
some
Baronets
and
Knights
that
are
weary
of
their
Titles
;
I
will
not
further
weary
the
Reader
.
RICHARD'S
SHORT
Usurpation
.
THE
Protectorian
Government
,
like
a
Hybrida
or
Mungrii-Monster
begot
of
two
different
Species
,
the
Army
the
Sire
,
and
the
Commonwealth
the
Dam
,
could
not
be
imagined
in
Reason
propagable
;
however
Fortune
,
that
sports
her self
in
strange
productions
,
prevailed
against
the
course
of
Nature
in
her
Political
principles
,
for
this
one
Experiment
or
Curiosity
,
meerly
to
demonstrate
the
power
of
her
proud
and
most
scornful
inconstancy
.
This
miserable
Person
(
as
far
as
she
could
make
him
such
)
Richard
the
Son
and
Successor
of
Oliver
,
being
meerly
set
up
as
the
But
and
Object
of
all
her
disgraceful
and
contemptuous
injuries
,
with
which
she
Implacably
exercised
the
deposed
Estate
of
this
Impotent
Usurper
.
The
Vulture
died
,
and
out
of
his
Ashes
rose
a
Titmouse
,
who
with
the
Frog
in
the
Fable
,
being
swollen
up
with
the
flatteries
and
fond
advice
of
his
Counsellors
,
Richard
's
Advi●●
and
Co●●sellors
.
durst
vie
his
greatness
with
the
Regal
right
,
till
the
tumid
Bubble
burst
and
vanish'd
into
nothing
.
His
great
encouragers
to
his
assuming
the
Title
,
were
Fleetwood
himself
,
Desborough
his
Uncle
,
Sydenham
the
two
Iones's
,
and
Thurloe
,
who
with
other
of
the
Council
,
(
some
of
whom
from
this
time
provid●d
themselves
of
a
surer
interest
in
the
Crown
)
upon
notice
of
the
death
of
his
Father
,
immediately
in
a
body
attended
him
in
his
Lodgings
,
and
declared
to
him
his
Fathers
appointment
of
him
for
his
Successor
;
which
they
did
most
obediently
acknowledge
to
him
,
as
their
Rightful
and
most
Indubitable
Prince
and
Governour
;
and
the
next
morning
,
being
Saturday
,
Proclaimed
him
in
great
State
,
(
the
said
Lords
,
and
most
of
the
Superior
Army-Officers
attending
the
solemnity
)
at
the
usual
places
in
London
;
the
tenour
of
which
was
,
Richard
Proclaimed
,
That
whereas
it
had
pleased
God
by
his
providence
to
take
away
the
most
Serene
and
most
Illustrious
Oliver
Lord-Protector
,
who
according
to
the
Petition
and
Advice
,
in
his
life-time
had
declared
the
most
Noble
and
Illustrious
,
his
Son
the
Lord
Richard
Cromwel
to
be
his
Successor
:
the
Council
,
the
Lord
Mayor
,
the
Officers
of
the
Army
therefore
do
heartily
and
unanimously
acknowledge
the
said
Lord
Richard
as
rightful
●rotector
and
Chief
Magistrate
,
and
do
require
all
persons
to
yield
obedience
;
beseeching
God
,
by
whom
Princes
Raign
,
to
bless
him
with
long
life
,
and
the
Nations
under
him
with
peace
and
happiness
.
This
being
over
,
the
Mayor
a●d
Aldermen
of
the
City
of
London
,
according
to
Order
from
the
Council
,
that
Saturday
in
the
afternoon
came
down
to
White-hall
,
and
Condoled
and
Congratulated
Richard
at
once
;
and
in
their
sight
Fiennes
the
Lord-Commissioner
gave
him
his
Oath
,
〈◊〉
Sworn
.
which
was
sufficient
inauguration
to
the
Protectorate
,
according
to
the
said
Humble
Petition
;
and
Mr.
Manton
the
peculiar
Chaplain
to
this
Dignity
,
as
Prelate
of
the
Protectorship
,
said
Prayers
,
and
Blessed
him
,
his
Council
,
Armies
,
and
People
:
and
so
the
Scene
ended
.
Notice
was
also
given
by
Sir
Oliver
Fleming
to
all
Forrain
Ministers
and
Embassadors
of
the
Decease
of
the
Father
,
and
the
setting
up
of
the
Son
;
who
all
came
and
Condoled
,
and
then
Congratulated
him
in
very
ample
manner
,
especially
the
French
;
though
the
Cardinal
then
at
Paris
,
immediately
upon
the
news
that
Cromwel
was
Dead
,
French
Cardinal
●oys
the
Queen-Mother
with
Cromwel
's
death
.
hastened
to
our
Queen
Mother
,
and
congratulated
her
in
a
●incerer
and
more
effectual
manner
,
telling
her
,
that
the
grand
Enem●
of
her
and
her
Family
was
no●
removed
,
and
that
most
certainly
and
infallibly
the
Restauration
of
the
King
our
Soveraign
was
at
hand
;
as
indeed
it
was
concluded
,
and
I
will
add
,
resolved
on
here
by
all
his
Friends
,
and
some
of
his
former
Enemies
:
and
from
this
very
time
the
ground-work
of
his
Restauration
was
most
artfully
layed
.
But
these
Aiery
Complements
were
nothing
comparable
to
the
Domestick
Addresses
which
fl●w●●
flocks
from
all
parts
of
the
three
Nations
of
White-hall
,
to
salute
and
〈…〉
his
assumption
to
the
Soveraignty
:
he
was
celebrated
there
for
the
excellence
of
his
Wisdom
and
nobleness
of
Minde
;
even
in
some
,
for
the
lovely
composition
of
his
Body
,
as
if
he
had
been
another
Titus
,
Deliciae
Gentis
&
Dominii
Britannici
.
Nay
some
drops
of
this
Court
Holy-water
stilled
upon
his
Wife
,
his
Father-in-law
and
Relations
:
his
dead
Father
was
stiled
and
compared
to
Moses
,
Addresses
to
Richard
full
of
Blasphemous
expressions
of
Oliver
.
to
Zerubbabel
,
to
Ioshua
,
to
Gideon
,
to
Elijah
,
to
the
Chariots
and
Horsmen
of
Israel
,
to
David
,
to
Solomon
,
to
Hezekiah
,
to
Constantine
,
to
all
that
was
either
good
or
great
in
Holy
or
Humane
writ
;
and
in
most
,
their
parallels
were
nearer
to
Blasphemy
than
any
of
his
qualities
:
he
was
lamented
as
the
Father
of
his
Country
,
(
but
't
was
in
that
sence
no
doubt
in
which
he
was
caressed
by
that
Book
of
Killing
no
Murther
;
for
as
long
as
he
lived
the
people
should
never
enjoy
their
inheritance
:
)
the
restorer
of
pleasant
Paths
to
dwell
in
;
of
whom
we
were
not
worthy
,
and
what
not
?
every
one
striving
to
exceed
the
other
in
this
monstrous
and
most
absurd
vanity
;
of
which
the
Independent
Churches
were
also
most
foully
guilty
,
their
Addresses
being
drawn
by
their
Metropolitans
,
Goodwyn
and
Nye
.
These
were
ordered
here
first
,
and
Instructions
sent
down
where
any
of
the
Council
had
interest
,
to
get
the
ablest
Pens
they
could
to
indite
and
discant
upon
this
solemn
occasion
.
But
the
Army
for
powerful
words
and
number
outdid
all
the
other
;
not
a
sneaking
Garrison
but
hired
a
Scribe
to
write
their
minde
to
their
young
Master
Richard
.
These
Flies
tainted
the
contented
and
private
minde
of
the
unhappy
man
,
who
having
Maried
one
Major's
Daughter
of
Southampton
,
with
whom
he
had
a
very
competent
Fortune
,
aimed
at
no
great
things
,
till
the
Grandeurs
done
to
him
had
insinuated
Pride
,
and
that
inveagled
his
judgement
to
a
persistency
upon
the
ticklish
point
of
the
Supreme
Power
.
He
was
learned
and
instructed
now
to
keep
State
;
and
for
the
Government
,
his
Council
would
take
care
:
from
whom
,
in
his
name
,
came
first
out
a
Proclamation
,
continuing
all
Officers
and
Justices
of
the
Peace
in
the
life
of
his
dear
Father
,
of
most
renowned
and
blessed
Memory
,
as
the
stile
run
;
whose
Funerals
were
under
consultation
,
to
be
made
and
solemnized
sutable
to
the
Glory
and
greatness
in
which
he
had
left
this
his
Successor
.
No
less
therefore
than
60
thousand
pounds
was
alloted
to
defray
the
expence
thereof
;
60000
l.
allotted
for
the
Expence
.
more
by
one
half
than
was
ever
used
to
any
King
or
Queen
of
England
:
Some
said
it
was
advised
by
none
of
his
Friends
,
the
designe
being
thereby
to
bring
him
into
debt
,
and
so
ruine
him
,
which
in
effect
it
did
,
and
those
that
trusted
him
with
Blacks
and
other
Funeral-Accommodation
;
especially
one
Walton
a
Draper
,
who
in
his
failure
spoiled
several
Clothiers
,
whose
Goods
he
had
upon
his
Credit
,
notwithstanding
that
Colonel
(
after
Lord
)
Pride
was
lately
become
his
Father-in-law
,
and
he
himself
moreover
of
Kin
to
the
Protector
.
The
Funeral
(
because
of
the
great
concourse
it
drew
of
spectators
)
is
here
fully
described
,
it
being
one
of
the
chiefest
remarques
of
this
short-lived
Government
,
whose
Exequies
soon
after
followed
.
The
Corps
(
presently
after
his
expiration
)
being
buried
by
reason
of
the
stench
thereof
,
Cromwel
's
Funeral
.
a
Coffin
was
on
the
26
of
September
,
about
ten
at
night
,
privately
removed
from
White-hall
in
a
Mourning-herse
,
attended
by
his
Domestick
Servants
,
to
Somerset-house
,
where
it
remained
in
private
for
some
days
,
till
all
things
were
in
readiness
for
publick
view
;
which
being
accomplished
,
his
Effigies
was
with
great
state
and
magnificence
exposed
openly
,
multitudes
daily
flocking
to
see
the
sight
,
which
appeared
in
this
order
.
The
first
Room
where
the
Spectators
entered
,
was
wholly
hung
with
Black
;
at
the
upper-end
whereof
,
was
placed
a
Cloth
and
Chair
of
State
.
In
the
like
manner
was
the
second
and
third
,
all
having
Scutcheons
very
thick
upon
the
Walls
,
and
Guards
of
Partizans
placed
in
each
Room
for
people
to
pass
through
.
The
fourth
Room
was
compleatly
hung
with
Black-velvet
,
the
Cieling
being
of
the
same
;
here
lay
the
Effigies
,
with
a
large
Canopy
of
Black-Velvet
Fringed
,
which
hung
over
it
.
The
Waxen-Picture
lying
upon
its
Back
,
was
Apparrell'd
in
a
rich
Suit
of
Velvet
,
robed
in
a
little
Robe
of
Purple-Velvet
,
laced
with
a
rich
Gold-lace
,
Furr'd
with
Ermins
:
upon
the
Kirtle
was
a
large
Robe
of
Purple-Velvet
,
laced
and
furr'd
as
the
former
,
with
rich
Strings
and
Tassels
of
Gold
.
The
Kirtle
was
girt
with
a
rich
embroidered
Belt
,
wherein
was
a
Sword
bravely
guilt
and
hatched
with
Gold
,
which
hung
by
the
side
of
this
Fine
thing
.
In
the
Right
hand
was
a
Scepter
,
in
the
Left
a
Globe
:
upon
his
Head
was
placed
a
Purple-Velvet-Cap
furr'd
with
Ermins
sutable
to
the
Robes
.
Behinde
the
Head
was
placed
a
rich
Chair
of
Tissued
Gold
,
whereon
was
placed
an
Imperial
Crown
,
which
lay
high
,
that
the
people
might
behold
it
.
The
Bed
of
State
whereon
he
lay
,
was
covered
with
a
large
Pall
of
Black-Velvet
,
under
which
was
a
Holland-sheet
born
up
by
six
Stools
covered
with
Cloath
of
Gold
.
About
the
Bed
was
placed
a
compleat
suit
of
Arms
,
and
at
the
Feet
of
the
Effigies
stood
his
Crest
.
This
Bed
had
fix'd
about
it
an
ascent
of
two
steps
;
a
little
from
thence
stood
eight
silver
Candlesticks
about
five
foot
high
,
with
white
Wax-tapers
standing
in
them
,
of
three
foot
long
.
All
these
things
were
environed
with
Rails
and
Ballasters
four-square
,
covered
with
Velvet
;
at
each
corner
whereof
there
was
erected
an
upright
Pillar
,
which
bore
on
their
tops
Lions
and
Dragons
,
who
held
in
their
Paws
Streamers
Crowned
.
On
both
sides
of
the
Bed
were
set
up
in
Sockets
four
great
Standards
of
the
Protector
's
Arms
,
with
Banners
and
Banrols
in
War
,
painted
upon
Taffaty
.
About
the
Bed
stood
men
in
Mourning
bare-headed
;
and
without
the
Rails
,
others
to
receive
people
in
,
and
turn
them
out
again
.
When
this
Show
had
been
seen
for
many
weeks
together
,
the
Scene
was
then
altered
;
the
Effigies
being
removed
into
another
Room
,
it
was
there
set
up
,
standing
upon
an
Ascent
under
a
Cloath
of
State
,
being
vested
as
it
was
before
,
lying
;
onely
now
his
Purple-Velvet
was
changed
for
a
Crown
.
In
the
same
manner
(
as
formerly
)
were
men
waiting
upon
him
bare-headed
.
In
this
manner
he
continued
until
the
23
of
November
,
which
day
was
appointed
to
carry
him
with
all
solemnity
to
Westminster-abbey
.
This
great
Funeral
was
performed
with
very
great
Majesty
,
in
this
manner
following
.
All
things
being
in
readiness
,
the
Waxen
Picture
of
the
Protector
(
with
a
Crown
on
his
Head
,
a
Sword
by
his
Side
,
a
Globe
and
Scepter
in
his
Hands
)
was
taken
down
from
his
standing
,
and
laid
in
an
open
Chariot
,
covered
all
over
with
Black-Velvet
,
adorned
with
Plumes
and
Scutcheons
,
and
drawn
by
six
horses
in
Black-Velvet
.
The
Streets
from
Somerset-house
to
Westminster-abbey
,
were
guarded
by
Souldiers
in
new
Red
▪
coats
and
Black-buttons
,
with
their
Ensignes
wrapt
in
Cypres
;
which
made
a
lane
to
keep
off
Spectators
from
crowding
the
Actors
.
The
Procession
.
In
the
first
place
went
a
Marshal
attended
by
his
Deputy
,
and
13
more

Horse-back
to
clear
the
way
;
after
him
followed

Mourning
Gowns
and
Hoods
;
next
to
them
,
the
Servants
of
those
persons
of
Quality
that
attended
the
Funeral
.
These
were
followed

the
Protector
's
late
Domestick
Servants
,
and
his
Barge-men
and
Water-men
.
Then
came
the

the
Lord-Mayor
and
Sheriffs
of
London
.
Following
them
,
were
Gentlemen
Attendants

Forrain
Embassadors
and

After

these
followed
all
the
Officers
,
Messengers
,
and

belonging

the
Privy-Council

and
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
Next
in

of
the

and
the
Members
of
the
other
House
.
The
publick
Ministers
of
Forrain
Princes
.
The
Holland-Embassador
alone
,
having
his
Train
held
up
by
four
Gentlemen
.
Then
the
Portugal

,
and
the
French
Embassador
,
in
the
like
manner
.
The
Commissioners
of
the
Great
Seal
.
The
Commissioners
of
the
Treasury
.
The
Members
of
his
Privy-Council
.
All
the
Grandees
in
close
Mourning
,
(
but
it
was
once
advised
otherways
,
for
fear
of
a
surprize
in
the
Streets
)
the
rest
but
in
ordinary
.
The
whole
Assembly
passing
along
in
divisions
,
were
distinguished
by
Drums
,
Trumpets
,
Banners
,
and
Horses
,
whereof
there
were
eleven
in
all
,
four
being
covered
with
Black-Cloath
,
and
seven
in
Velvet
.
These
passing
in
fine
order
,
at
length
came
the
Chariot
with
the
Effigies
,
on
each
side
of
which
were
six
Banner-Rolls
,
(
twelve
in
all
)
born
by
several
persons
;
and
likewise
several
pieces
of
the
Protector
's
Arms
carried
by
eight
Officers
of
the
Army
,
attended
by
the
Heralds
.
Next
went
Garter
principal
King
of
Arms
,
attended
by
a
Gentleman
on
each
hand
bare-headed
.
Next
came
the
chief
Mourner
.
And
to
conclude
all
,
came
the
Horse
of
Honour
,
in
very
rich
Trappings
embroidered
on
Crimson-Velvet
,
and
adorned
with
White
,
Red
,
and
Yellow
plumes
of
Feathers
,
being
led
by
the
Master
of
the
Horse
.
The
Rear
of
this
brave
Show
was
brought
up
by
the
Protector
's
Guard
of
Halberdiers
,
the
Warders
of
the
Tower
,
and
a
Troop
of
Horse
.
The
Effigies
in
this
manner
being
brought
to
the
West-gate
of
the
Abbey-Church
of
Westminster
,
it
was
taken
from
the
Chariot
by
ten
Gentlemen
,
who
carried
it
to
the
East-end
of
the
Church
,
and
there
placed
the
Picture
in
a
most
magnificent
Structure
,
built
in
the
same
form
as
one
before
had
been
(
on
the
like
occasion
)
for
King
Iames
,
but
much
more
stately
.
There
had
been
a
Convention
or
Synod
of
the
Independent
Ministers
resolved
upon
,
Independent
Synod
at
the
Savoy
.
and
called
by
Oliver
in
his
Life-time
,
to
make
out
a
Declaration
and
Confession
of
their
Faith
,
and
to
make
a
kinde
of
Canon
or
System
of
their
Tenets
and
Doctrine
;
he
of
all
Religions
most
favouring
this
:
for
by
their
means
he
began
and
carried
on
his
Designes
.
(
Sometimes
he
would
offer
to
make
an
Agreement
and
reconcile
and
unite
the
Presbyters
and
them
;
but
when
any
such
thing
came
in
agitation
,
he
would
be
sure
to
divide
them
further
than
ever
.
)
This
Synod
or
Assembly
met
now
at
the
Savoy
,
and
Prince
Richard
had
the
honour
to
have
his
Reign
ennobled
with
a
discovery
of
what
Independency
was
,
and
its
consistency
,
which
the
World
never
heard
of
before
,
nor
was
it
the
wiser
or
better
satisfied
now
it
was
fully
informed
.
There
was
another
as
notable
a
passage
,
and
as
memorable
:
Richard
still
followed
his
old
Game
of
Hawking
;
Richard
out-runs
his
guards
,
and
endangered
at
hawking
.
and
being
one
day
with
his
Horse-guard
engaged
in
a
flight
,
the
eagerness
of
the
sport
carried
him
out
of
their
sight
;
and
his
Horse
Floundring
or
Leaping
short
,
threw
him
into
a
Ditch
,
where
by
the
help
of
a
Country-man
he
was
taken
out
and
preserved
:
he
had
carried
himself
very
quietly
thitherto
to
all
about
him
;
this
disaster
and
accident
made
him
angry
,
and
to
charge
them
roughly
with
this
neglect
,
telling
them
,
he
expected
more
service
and
respect
,
and
would
have
it
from
them
.
He
began
also
to
be
weary
of
his
Old
Cavalier-Friends
,
and
to
require
their
absence
from
his
Court
,
where
now
the
Army
beginning
to
swerve
from
their
loving
Addresses
,
the
Republicans
and
Lambert
secretly
tampering
with
them
,
and
undermining
their
Fidelity
and
Zeal
to
Oliver's
house
,
(
as
it
was
timely
enough
discovered
)
a
resolution
was
taken
to
call
a
Parliament
to
meet
the
27
of
Ianuary
next
,
Richard
's
Parliament
meet
,
Jan.
27.
and
(
by
pretence
of
restoring
the
people
to
their
antient
way
of
Elections
,
but
really
)
that
the
Court
might
command
the
more
Votes
,
the
Burroughs
had
Writs
also
se●t
to
them
,
and
the
Elections
were
all
made
in
the
ancient
way
;
onely
thirty
Members
were
called
by
Writs
from
Scotland
,
and
as
many
from
Ireland
,
according
to
the
late
Combination
of
the
three
Nations
into
one
Common-wealth
.
This
new
kinde
of
Parliament
being
met
at
the
time
and
place
appointed
,
(
having
heard
a
Sermon
of
course
at
Westminster
Abbey
,
the
young
Protector
also
in
State
coming
to
the
other
House
,
and
making
a
Speech
,
which
was
seconded
by
Fiennes
,
who
began
with
a
gross
ridiculous
flattery
(
though
designed
)
What
can
a
man
say
after
the
King
?
a
quotation
borrowed
from
the
Proverbs
)
God
had
so
well
ordered
the
Elections
,
notwithstanding
the
practices
of
men
,
that
their
English
spirit
quickly
appeared
both
against
Impositions
from
Court
and
Army
.
And
though
their
Counsels
were
at
first
interrupted
with
an
Act
of
Recognition
of
the
Protector
,
prepared
and
brought
in
by
the
Court
,
which
took
up
the
first
fortnight
of
their
time
upon
the
very
point
of
Recognition
;
yet
they
were
at
length
extricated
from
that
difficulty
by
the
Expedient
of
an
honest
Gentleman
,
in
passing
these
Votes
on
Munday
the
14
of
February
1658.
without
any
division
or
Negative
.
Resolved
,
That
it
be
part
of
this
Bill
to
Recognize
and
declare
his
Highness
Richard
Lord
Protector
,
and
Chief
Magistrate
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
and
the
Dominions
and
Territories
thereunto
belonging
.
And
2.
That
before
this
Bill
be
committed
,
the
House
do
declare
such
additional
clauses
to
be
part
of
this
Bill
,
as
may
bound
the
power
of
the
Chief
Magistrate
,
and
fully
secure
the
Rights
and
Priviledges
of
Parliament
,
and
the
Liberties
and
Rights
of
the
people
:
And
that
neither
this
,
nor
any
other
previous
Vote
that
is
or
shall
be
passed
in
order
to
this
Bill
,
shall
be
of
force
,
or
binding
to
the
people
,
until
the
whole
Bill
passed
.
Their
next
work
was
to
appoint
a
Committee
for
inspection
into
the
Accounts
and
Revenue
of
the
Commonwealth
,
which
had
been
lamentably
squandered
and
wasted
ever
since
1648.
and
twelve
Members
versed
in
matters
of
account
,
whereof
Mr.
Scowen
was
in
the
Chair
,
were
selected
for
this
work
,
and
fully
impowered
for
the
work
they
had
in
hand
,
in
order
to
the
retrenching
and
lessening
the
charge
of
the
Commonwealth
.
On
Saturday
the
19
of
February
,
they
proceeded
in
the
Act
of
Recognition
,
and
resolved
,
That
it
shall
be
part
of
this
Bill
to
declare
the
Parliament
to
consist
of
two
Houses
.
An
Expedient
in
Recognizing
Richard
,
And
had
afterwards
several
days
debate
by
order
,
concerning
the
bounding
of
the
Chief
Magistrate's
power
,
and
the
Bounds
and
powers
of
another
House
,
in
relation
to
the
former
Votes
;
but
could
come
to
no
resolution
thereupon
;
the
Court-party
stickling
hard
for
the
Powers
given
them
by
the
Petition
and
Advice
,
and
the
honest
Patriots
of
the
House
(
whose
weighty
Reasons
then
convinced
the
Commonwealth-party
to
go
along
with
them
)
denying
it
to
be
a
Law
,
being
obtained
by
force
and
Exclusion
of
above
a
hundred
Members
in
the
year
1656.
by
which
force
also
the
Purse
was
taken
from
the
Commons
,
by
setling
a
Revenue
of
1300000
l.
a
year
,
in
perpetuity
of
the
Command
of
the
Single
person
;
and
the
ruling
Members
of
the
other
House
being
most
of
them
Officers
of
the
Army
and
Courtiers
;
which
being
allowed
for
Law
,
the
people
would
have
been
absolute
Slaves
to
their
power
,
the
Purse
being
stolen
from
the
Commons
as
aforesaid
.
Whilest
the
Temper
of
the
House
was
thus
tried
,
and
they
appeared
sufficiently
to
be
English
men
,
divers
of
the
Members
of
Scotland
and
Ireland
joyning
with
them
in
the
same
resolutions
.
By
the
joynt
advice
of
the
Court
and
Army-party
,
the
question
of
Transacting
with
the
persons
sitting
in
the
Other
House
,
as
an
House
of
Parliament
,
was
set
before
them
,
upon
pretended
grounds
of
Law
and
Necessity
,
and
by
Arguments
of
Force
and
Interposition
from
the
Army
,
and
of
impossibility
to
proceed
in
any
thing
without
the
said
Other
House
.
This
attempt
was
as
stoutly
opposed
for
fourteen
days
by
the
moderate
honest
Patriots
of
the
House
,
as
the
former
;
the
undoubted
right
of
the
antient
Peers
asserted
,
and
all
the
said
grounds
and
Arguments
confuted
,
except
that
of
Force
;
which
was
not
to
take
place
with
any
thing
like
a
Free-Parliament
of
English-men
.
But
in
the
close
of
the
fourteen
days
debate
,
wherein
much
of
the
Honesty
,
Ingenuity
,
and
Courage
of
the
English
Nation
did
appear
,
(
seeing
all
Affairs
at
a
stand
till
something
were
resolved
in
this
point
)
they
came
in
a
very
full
House
to
this
well-qualified
Resolution
:
and
the
other
House
not
Excluding
the
ancient
Peers
.
Resolved
,
That
this
House
will
transact
with
the
persons
now
sitting
in
the
Other
House
,
as
an
House
of
Parliament
,
during
this
present
Parliament
:
And
that
it
is
not
hereby
intended
to
Exclude
such
Peers
as
have
been
faithful
to
the
Parliament
from
their
priviledge
of
being
duly
summoned
to
be
Members
of
that
House
.
The
House
of
Commons
(
between
the
Protector
,
the
Other
House
,
and
the
General
Council
of
Officers
now
summoned
to
meet
at
Wallingford-house
)
may
well
be
conceived
at
this
time
to
have
had
a
Wolf
by
the
Ears
,
and
(
having
shewed
themselves
English-men
and
not
Slaves
)
had
reason
to
entertain
wary
Counsels
,
having
some
of
their
own
Members
undermining
them
without
doors
;
and
foreseeing
a
Dissolution
,
though
not
knowing
whether
they
should
die
a
Violent
or
Natural
death
,
or
have
a
mixt
kinde
of
Disease
,
as
it
fell
out
afterwards
.
And
therefore
they
resolved
not
to
own
them
in
the
Other
House
as
Lords
,
but
called
them
,
The
persons
now
sitting
in
the
Other
House
of
Parliament
;
neither
would
they
treat
and
confer
with
them
in
the
usual
way
,
as
with
the
House
of
Peers
,
and
therefore
found
out
the
new
word
of
Transacting
;
and
not
intending
to
have
to
do
with
them
,
but
for
a
tryal
,
they
limited
the
time
to
be
during
this
present
Parliament
,
which
they
foresaw
would
not
be
long
:
and
to
Muzzle
the
new
inconsiderable
Upstarts
sufficiently
,
(
if
they
should
take
too
much
upon
them
)
they
asserted
the
priviledge
of
the
ancient
Peers
as
a
good
reserve
,
if
the
Parliament
should
by
the
Protector
and
Army
be
suffered
upon
second
thoughts
to
sit
longer
than
was
first
intended
.
And
resolved
also
,
That
they
would
receive
no
Message
from
those
persons
sitting
in
the
Other
House
,
but
by
some
of
their
own
number
.
The
House
of
Commons
by
this
time
had
also
by
a
Saving
Vote
concerning
the
Fleet
,
asserted
their
interess
in
the
Militia
;
and
had
under
consideration
an
Act
for
taking
away
all
Laws
,
Statutes
,
and
Ordinances
concerning
the
Excise
and
new
Impost
,
and
concerning
Customes
,
Tunnage
and
Poundage
,
after
three
years
.
And
had
vindicated
the
peoples
Liberties
,
by
setting
Major-General
Overton
and
Mr.
Portman
,
and
divers
others
(
illegally
committed
by
the
late
Protector
)
at
Liberty
without
paying
Fees
,
and
declaring
their
Imprisonment
and
Detention
illegal
and
unjust
;
and
had
their
Lord-Jaylor
Berkstead
,
and
others
at
their
Bar
under
question
for
the
same
(
who
was
also
Arrested
upon
the
Exchange
in
London
,
The
notable
proceedings
of
the
Parliament
.
at
the
Suit
of
the
said
Overton
,
for
false
Imprisonment
.
)
And
had
also
a
high
resentment
of
the
illegal
sending
Free-born
English-men
against
their
wills
to
the
Barbadoes
,
and
other
Forrain
Plantations
,
and
to
the
Isles
of
Guernsey
and
Iersey
,
out
of
the
reach
of
the
Writ
of
Habeas
Corpus
;
and
had
appointed
a
strict
Bill
to
be
prepared
for
remedy
thereof
.
And
had
Examined
and
discovered
many
other
Grievances
brought
upon
the
people
by
the
Officers
and
Farmers
of
the
Excise
,
and
others
;
and
by
Major-Generals
,
amongst
which
Butler
was
for
his
insolent
actings
and
high
affronts
to
the
Law
and
Courts
of
Justice
,
put
out
of
the
Commission
of
the
Peace
,
and
a
Committee
appointed
to
draw
up
an
Impeachment
against
him
.
The
Committee
also
for
Inspection
(
before-mentioned
)
had
brought
in
and
reported
to
the
House
the
state
of
the
publick
Accounts
,
and
of
the
Martial
and
Civil
Lists
in
the
three
Nations
,
by
which
it
did
appear
,
That
the
yearly
Incomes
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
came
to
Eighteen
hundred
sixty
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventeen
pounds
:
The
Revenue
and
charges
of
the
Kingdom
.
And
the
yearly
Expences
to
Two
Millions
two
hundred
and
one
thousand
five
hundred
and
forty
pounds
:
So
that
Three
hundred
thirty
two
thousand
eight
hundred
twenty
three
pounds
of
Debt
incurred
yearly
by
the
ill
management
of
double
the
Revenue
that
ever
King
of
England
enjoyed
.
And
to
maintain
the
unjust
Conquest
of
Scotland
,
cost
us
yearly
One
hundred
sixty
three
thousand
six
hundred
and
nineteen
pounds
more
than
the
Revenue
it
yielded
.
Many
other
particulars
were
under
their
consideration
,
as
to
the
Religion
and
Civil
Rights
of
the
people
,
too
long
now
to
be
mentioned
:
but
in
short
,
to
give
them
their
due
,
they
did
some
good
whilest
they
sate
,
both
to
the
publick
and
particulars
,
and
intended
much
more
;
and
did
no
hurt
,
gave
no
Offices
nor
Gratuities
to
themselves
out
of
the
publick
Treasure
,
nor
granted
any
money
from
the
people
;
which
is
more
than
can
be
said
of
any
Parliament
in
our
memory
.
Proceeding
thus
successfully
and
hopefully
to
the
general
satisfaction
of
the
people
in
the
three
Nations
who
chose
them
,
the
Protector
and
chief
Officers
of
the
Army
,
who
were
jealous
of
one
another
before
▪
and
Competitors
for
Government
,
grew
now
jealous
of
the
House
of
Commons
also
,
who
being
the
Representatives
of
the
people
,
were
become
also
their
Minions
and
Favourites
.
It
was
therefore
now
thought
seasonable
to
contend
among
themselves
for
the
power
,
The
Army
and
Protector
jar
.
before
the
people
should
recover
it
from
them
both
.
In
order
to
which
,
the
General
Council
of
Officers
kept
their
constant
Meetings
at
Wallingford-house
,
and
the
Protector
with
his
party
countermined
them
at
White-hall
.
but
we
must
interrupt
the
thred
of
this
story
,
to
i●tromit
the
year
1659.
which
began
with
the
Voyage
into
the
Sound
.
Anno
Dom.
1659.
THe
former
respects
and
mutual
designes
betwixt
the
King
of
Sweden
and
Cromwel
,
which
had
been
promoted
so
far
as
to
a
Treaty
concerning
places
of
caution
for
our
Engagement
and
Expence
in
the
Danish
War
,
(
Elsenore-Castle
newly
taken
by
the
Swede
,
Gottenburgh
in
his
own
Province
being
demanded
,
and
Gluckstad
and
another
place
offered
in
lieu
thereof
)
though
without
any
conclusion
by
the
Death
of
Cromwel
,
obliged
his
son
Richard
and
the
Council
,
upon
the
request
of
the
Swede
,
to
send
a
Fleet
into
the
Baltick-sea
;
and
in
the
mean
time
Sea-Officers
and
Seamen
were
taken
into
his
Service
(
who
set
to
Sea
in
December
before
,
but
by
stormy
and
cold
weather
were
forced
back
again
,
divers
of
them
by
the
hardship
of
the
Voyage
dying
at
their
return
)
under
the
Command
of
Sir
George
Ayscue
,
who
was
upon
his
arrival
to
be
Commissioned
High-Admiral
of
Sweden
,
to
mate
the
Dutch
,
who
then
openly
sided
with
the
Dane
,
and
had
a
Fleet
of
War
ranging
thereabouts
.
The
Parliament
likewise
,
to
secure
the
Commerce
and
Trade
of
those
parts
,
condescended
to
the
Expedition
,
with
the
Conditions
and
Limitations
aforesaid
.
At
the
end
of
March
General
Montague
was
Commissioned
by
Richard
,
with
a
Fleet
of
40
sail
of
the
best
ships
,
and
manned
accordingly
;
who
in
ten
days
time
from
Yarmouth
arrived
at
the
Scaw
,
G●●
.
Montague
with
a
Fleet
to
the
Sound
,
Mar.
30.
and
so
to
Elsenore
,
where
the
King
of
Sweden
was
,
before
the
Dutch
Vice-Admiral
de
Ruyter
,
who
was
coming
with
another
Fleet
out
of
Holland
to
re-inforce
his
Admiral
Opdam
,
then
at
Copenhagen
.
The
General
here
met
with
Instructions
from
his
Majesty
,
to
whose
Cause
he
had
upon
the
disposition
of
affairs
betwixt
the
Army
and
Protector
devoted
himself
;
and
instead
of
aiding
the
Swede
,
stood
more
than
neutral
upon
the
Danes
side
,
having
received
the
like
civilities
from
that
King
,
to
the
murmur
of
the
Swedes
;
and
several
intercourses
of
intelligence
a●d
friendship
,
and
other
intrigues
betwixt
the
Dutch
Admiral
and
himself
frequently
passed
.
But
to
return
to
the
Parliament
.
Now
the
Game
began
;
out
came
a
Remonstrance
from
the
Army
to
Richard
,
setting
forth
in
what
danger
the
Good
Old
Cause
was
,
(
by
which
term
it
was
cognized
ever
after
:
The
Armies
Remonstrance
to
Richard
.
)
That
the
asserters
of
it
were
every
where
Vilified
,
the
great
Patriots
and
Patrons
of
it
(
the
Judges
of
the
King
)
put
into
Printed
Lists
,
and
marked
for
destruction
,
with
the
ruine
of
all
the
Godly
and
the
Cause
together
:
the
Army
was
purposely
kept
from
Pay
that
they
might
Mutiny
▪
and
therefore
desired
be
would
signifie
as
much
to
the
Parliament
,
for
some
speedy
redress
.
And
in
the
mean
while
,
the
Souldiers
that
kept
Guard
made
bold
with
his
Victuals
,
and
would
stop
it
from
his
Table
.
This
Remonstrance
was
Lambert's
and
the
Republicans
project
,
who
never
left
haunting
of
Fleetwood's
house
upon
pious
and
Religious
pretences
,
soothing
him
with
the
complements
of
his
Gifts
and
Graces
,
and
what
happiness
it
were
for
the
Nation
if
the
Government
were
laid
upon
his
Shoulders
,
as
no
doubt
(
they
urged
)
it
was
intended
by
his
Father-in-law
.
In
the
heat
of
this
business
died
Mr.
Chaloner
Ch●●e
,
on
the
15
of
April
,
their
Speaker
;
a
man
fit
in
every
respect
for
the
Chair
,
and
of
a
judgement
and
resolution
as
cross
to
the
sway
of
the
Times
,
which
he
was
designed
in
this
place
to
oppose
.
The
Speaker
Mr.
Chaloner
Chute
dieth
.
In
pursuance
of
this
Remonstrance
,
Alderman
Titchborne
,
being
set
at
work
by
the
same
hands
that
moulded
Fleetwood
,
engaged
Oliver's
Militia-Officers
of
the
last
Establishment
to
make
an
Address
to
Fleetwood
and
the
Army
,
whom
they
promised
to
stand
by
,
in
their
defence
of
the
same
Good
Old
Cause
;
so
that
being
now
back'd
with
these
seconds
of
the
City
,
they
resolved
on
the
project
of
Ruining
the
Protector
(
though
when
too
late
,
the
Officers
,
hurl'd
into
such
confusions
that
they
could
neither
help
themselves
nor
him
(
by
the
implacable
ambition
and
revenge
of
Lambert
,
who
had
scrued
and
recovered
his
interest
in
the
Officers
)
would
have
made
him
a
kind
of
Duke
of
Venice
,
with
a
Title
and
a
Pension
)
and
Parliament
together
.
Richard
offered
terms
by
the
Danish
Embassador
.
Several
advices
were
given
Richard
all
this
while
by
his
Friends
Col.
Ingoldsby
,
Goffe
,
and
Col.
Charles
Howard
,
made
a
Viscount
by
Oliver
;
and
he
urged
by
them
to
seize
upon
the
chief
of
those
Army-Conspirators
,
and
dispatch
them
,
as
the
onely
sure
way
to
be
rid
of
their
Interest
in
the
Army
:
he
was
likewise
sollicited
by
other
hands
to
embrace
the
Kings
Title
,
and
close
with
his
party
;
and
there
was
a
report
that
the
Danish
Embassador
(
then
Resident
here
)
had
Instructions
to
treat
with
him
about
it
,
to
offer
him
most
honourable
Terms
,
and
to
engage
his
Masters
Word
for
the
performance
:
which
hath
since
been
confirmed
to
be
true
.
As
to
the
Counsel
about
seizing
the
Officers
,
Col.
Ingoldsby
his
Cousen
undertook
it
upon
his
own
score
,
and
engaged
at
his
own
peril
with
his
order
to
effect
it
:
The
wretched
suspence
of
Richard
.
but
such
the
suspense
and
pusillanimity
that
possessed
Richard
,
(
his
neer
Relation
to
Fleetwood
and
Desborough
prompting
him
to
expect
nor
dread
any
harm
from
that
party
,
where
they
were
chief
;
and
he
thought
himself
well
enough
if
he
saved
his
Skin
)
that
he
could
be
brought
to
no
resolution
;
and
so
the
fair
occasion
of
crushing
that
Cockatrice
of
the
Rump
,
which
was
hatching
at
Wallingford-house
,
where
Fleetwood
dwelt
,
and
by
which
House
that
party
was
distinguished
,
was
totally
lo●t
.
The
Protector
at
last
beginning
,
when
it
was
too
late
,
and
but
then
thinking
of
securing
himself
from
being
surprized
with
their
Complements
,
and
stood
upon
his
Guard
.
But
the
Commons-House
,
as
became
English-men
,
wisely
and
courageously
resolved
to
let
the
Officers
know
,
that
they
took
them
still
to
be
their
Servants
,
though
they
had
for
too
many
years
ill
deserved
their
Wages
,
Rebelling
and
Usurping
the
Government
at
their
pleasure
:
and
intending
to
try
what
they
meant
by
the
Good
Old
Cause
;
which
,
as
they
seemed
to
represent
it
,
smelt
of
Gunpowder
and
Ball
;
and
whether
the
Repentance
held
forth
in
their
said
Representation
,
were
real
or
Military
,
passed
these
Votes
on
Munday
April
18.
Resolved
,
Resolves
of
Parliament
against
Meeting
of
the
Army-Officers
.
That
during
the
Sitting
of
the
Parliament
,
there
shall
be
no
General
Council
,
or
Meeting
of
the
Officers
of
the
Army
,
without
direction
and
Authority
of
his
Highness
the
Lord
Protector
,
and
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
And
secondly
,
That
no
person
shall
have
or
continue
any
Command
or
Trust
in
any
of
the
Armies
or
Nations
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
or
any
the
Dominions
and
Territories
thereto
belonging
,
who
shall
refuse
to
subscribe
,
That
he
will
not
disturb
or
interrupt
the
free-meetings
in
Parliament
of
any
the
Members
of
either
House
of
Parliament
,
or
their
freedom
in
their
Debates
and
Counsels
.
And
the
same
time
,
to
shew
their
care
of
the
Army
,
and
to
prevent
jealousies
,
they
passed
these
following
Votes
.
Resolved
,
That
the
House
do
presently
take
into
consideration
the
ways
and
means
for
satisfaction
of
the
Arrears
of
the
Armies
,
and
providing
present
pay
for
them
.
And
secondly
,
That
Serjeant
Maynard
,
the
Attorney-General
and
Sollicitor-General
,
do
forthwith
prepare
an
Act
of
Indemnity
for
all
such
as
have
acted
under
the
Parliament
and
Commonwealth
.
While
the
House
spent
the
rest
of
their
time
in
considering
how
to
provide
Money
without
laying
new
Burthens
on
the
people
,
great
contests
grew
between
the
Protector
and
the
opposite
Officers
of
the
Army
,
both
sides
keeping
Guards
night
and
day
againct
one
another
;
the
Protector
having
,
in
pursuance
of
the
Votes
of
the
House
,
forbidden
the
meetings
of
the
Officers
.
In
this
divided
posture
,
affairs
continued
till
Friday
the
22
of
April
,
on
which
Morning
early
,
Fleetwood
the
Protector
's
Brother
,
Desborough
his
Uncle
,
and
the
rest
of
the
mutinous
Officers
,
carrying
the
greater
part
of
the
Army
after
them
,
and
the
Protector
's
party
flinching
,
the
Conquest
was
made
without
one
drop
of
Blood
,
(
which
was
strange
in
so
Ancient
,
Hereditary
,
just
,
and
undoubted
a
Title
)
and
the
Protector●forced
to
consent
to
a
Commission
and
Proclamation
ready
prepared
,
giving
Desborough
and
others
power
to
Dissolve
the
Parliament
,
contrary
to
the
best
advice
,
and
his
own
Interest
and
promise
.
And
accordingly
the
same
day
,
the
Black
Rod
was
sent
twice
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
(
from
Fiennes
Speaker
of
the
Other
House
)
for
them
to
come
thither
;
but
they
admitted
him
not
in
,
and
much
scorned
the
motion
,
having
ever
looked
upon
that
Mushroom-house
as
the
Lower-house
,
and
their
own
creature
;
the
language
being
to
send
down
to
the
Other
House
,
when
they
sent
the
Declaration
for
a
Fast
,
for
a
trial
of
transacting
with
them
.
And
therefore
understanding
there
were
Guards
of
Horse
and
Foot
in
the
Palace-yard
,
after
some
motion
made
by
Mr.
Knightly
,
Sir
Arthur
Haselrig
and
others
,
wherein
Sir
Arthur
exceeded
,
That
the
House
should
first
declare
it
Treason
for
any
person
whatsoever
to
put
force
upon
any
Members
of
the
House
:
And
next
,
that
all
Votes
,
Acts
,
and
Resolutions
,
passed
by
any
Members
of
Parliament
,
when
the
rest
were
detained
from
,
or
taken
out
of
the
House
,
should
be
null
and
void
;
and
other
motions
becoming
English-men
to
that
end
,
judging
themselves
under
a
force
,
and
finding
they
were
very
unanimous
,
though
neer
400
in
the
House
.
In
the
things
proposed
they
resolved
no
question
,
but
adjourned
till
Munday-morning
the
25
of
April
,
and
attended
the
Speaker
in
order
through
Westminster-hall
to
his
Coach
in
the
face
of
the
Souldiery
.
Now
the
Court
(
according
to
the
guise
of
the
World
in
like
accidents
)
shrunk
out
of
White-hall
into
Wallingford-house
;
and
Fleetwood
,
Desborough
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Officers
,
great
and
small
;
took
the
Government
into
their
own
hands
,
Richard
thrown
aside
,
and
in
danger●
of
Arrests
,
and
dares
not
appear
.
and
discarded
their
Idol
the
Protector
,
whom
they
had
Worshipped
and
Deified
in
their
Addresses
;
the
Milksop
not
so
much
as
muttering
at
these
Affronts
and
Indignities
:
a
fine●
worthy
Fellow●
and
becoming
the
greatness
of
his
House
,
out
of
which
God
wonderfully
rescued
the
Majesty
Royal
and
Honour
of
the
Crown
of
England
,
from
being
sullied
with
such
base
and
sordid
wearing
(
and
great
talk
there
once
was
of
such
a
thing
as
Richard
the
4th
.
)
Within
two
or
three
Mornings
after
this
cast
out
of
his
Office
,
instead
of
his
Guards
,
poor
Richard
was
beset
with
all
the
Bayliffs
of
Middlesex
,
who
had
a
Writ
against
him
(
for
a
Debt
of
the
late
Funeral-Expences
)
by
the
Name
of
Richard
Cromwel
,
Esq.

The
House
of
Commons
was
also
shut
up
,
and
entrance
denied
to
the
Members
when
they
came
on
Monday
(
even
to
Sir
Henry
Vane
and
Sir
Arthur
Haselrig
themselves
)
according
to
Adjournment
;
the
Court
of
Requests
and
all
Avenues
being
full
of
Souldiers
,
who
told
the
Members
that
they
must
Sit
no
more
.
THE
RUMP
.
AFTER
the
new
Officers
had
moduled
themselves
,
Cashiering
Whaley
,
Ingoldsby
,
Goffe
,
and
divers
others
of
the
Protector
's
party
,
and
restoring
Lambert
,
Haslerig
,
Okey
,
and
others
displaced
by
Protector
Oliver
,
and
played
with
the
Government
for
a
few
days
,
and
grew
weary
of
it
,
(
the
inferiour
Officers
and
the
Pamphlets
,
that
now
flew
about
daily
without
controul
)
carrying
things
beyond
the
intention
of
the
Chief
Officers
;
they
sent
to
some
of
their
old
●lackney
Drudges
of
the
Long
Parliament
then
in
London
,
who
they
knew
would
do
any
thing
so
they
might
be
suffered
to
Sit
,
and
on
the
fifth
and
sixth
days
of
May
had
conference
with
them
;
the
last
of
which
was
at
their
never-failing
Speaker
the
Master
of
the
Rolls's
House
in
Chancery-lane
,
where
both
Officers
,
viz.
Lambert
,
who
had
already
gotten
his
old
place
,
and
others
with
him
,
and
Members
,
viz.
Sir
Henry
Vane
,
Sir
Arthur
Haslerig

Ludlow
,
Iohn
Iones
,
Mr.
Chaloner
,
Mr.
Scot
,
and
others
,
to
the
number
of
twenty
,
sollicited
William
Lenthal
Esquire
to
sit
Speaker
again
:
but
he
objected
scruples
in
Judgement
and
Conscience
,
and
the
uncertain
state
of
Commonwealth
and
Army
;
nevertheless
fifteen
Articles
between
the
Officers
and
some
of
the
Members
(
who
it
seems
over-confidently
undertook
for
the
rest
)
being
agreed
on
at
some
of
their
Meetings
,
they
resolved
to
meet
in
the
House
on
Saturday
the
7
of
May
;
yet
that
they
might
do
it
by
surprize
,
they
gave
out
that
they
would
not
sit
till
Tuesday
the
10th
of
May
:
But
the
Itch
of
Ambition
and
Lording
it
over
the
peopl●
giving
them
no
quiet
,
on
Saturday
the
7th
of
May
early
they
met
in
the
Painted-Chamber
at
Westminster
;
and
to
make
up
their
number
,
sent
for
the
two
chast
Cock-Sparrows
,
the
Lord
Munson
,
and
Mr.
Henry

out
of
Prison
,
where
they
were
in
Execution
for
Debt
;

stole
on
a
sudden
into
the
House
:
the
Invitation
of
the
Army
for
the
sitting
of
the
Long
Parliament
,
(
as
they
call
it
)
being
first
published
in
Westminster-hall
;
wherein
,
at
the
conclusion
they
added
,
that
calling
to
minde
that
Gods
presence
and
his
Blessing
was
visible
among
the
late
Members
of
the
Long
Parliament
,
who
sate
till
April
23.
1653.
they
did
invite
them
to
their
Trust
:
and
they
answer
this
with
a
like
Declaration
,
(
not
dashing
at
the
least
upon
the
Army
)
setting
forth
that
they
are
resolved
to
apply
themselves
to
the
discharge
of
their
Trust
,
and
to
endeavour
a
Settlement
upon
such
a
Foundation
as
might
best
secure
all
Christian
and
civil
Interest
,
Liberty
,
and
Propriety

without

,
or

;
and

Declaration
.
so
much
desired
,
and
often
declared
for
;
and
a
Godly
and
Faithful
Ministry
,
to
the
glory
and
praise
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
to
the
reviving
and
making
glad
the
Hearts
of
the
Upright
in
the
Land
.
Upon
Notice
of
their
sitting
,
there
being
double
their
number
Members
of
the
same
Parliament
in
Town
,
and
many
of
them
in
the
Hall
;
to
prevent
the
mischiefs
of
a
surreptitious
packed
Parliament
,
they
agreed
among
themselves
in
the
Hall
,
(
though
they
were
doubtful
that
Parliament
was
dissolved
)
that
about
a
dozen
or
fourteen
of
them
should
immediately
go
to
the
House
:
Secluded
Members
offer
to
sit
with
the
Rump
.
and
the
persons
that
did
so
were
these
,
viz.
-
Mr.
Ansley
,
since
Earl
of
Anglesey
,
my
(
right
Noble
)
Author
.
-
Sir
George
Booth
.
-
Mr.
Pryn.
-
Mr.
George
Montague
.
-
Sir
Iohn
Eveling
.
-
Mr.
Gowen
.
-
Mr.
Eveling
.
-
Mr.
Knightly
.
-
Mr.
Clive
.
-
Mr.
Hungerford
.
-
Mr.
Harley
.
-
Mr.
Peck
.
Who
though
with
much
ado
they
got
into
the
Lobby
,
(
where
they
found
Mr.
Iames
,
and
Mr.
Iohn
Herbert
)
they
were
not
suffered
,
by
the
Officers
of
the
Army
,
to
go
into
the
House
,
though
they
disputed
their
priviledge
of
Sitting
,
(
if
the
Parliament
were
yet
in
being
:
)
but
Reason
as
well
as
the
Laws
must
be
silent
among
men
of
War
:
and
therefore
after
they
had
fairly
made
their
claim
,
and
found
the
House
under
force
,
they
retired
,
and
resolved
by
Letter
to
acquaint
the
Speaker
,
and
those
Gentlemen
assembled
with
him
,
what
usage
they
had
received
.
And
accordingly
on
Munday
the
9
of
May
,
they
went
to
Westminster
,
where
understanding
that
there
were
no
Guards
upon
the
House
,
Mr.
Ansley
,
Mr.
Pryn
,
and
Mr.
Hungerford
went
up
to
the
House
,
and
had
free
admittance
,
receiving
the
Declaration
of
the
7th
of
May
at
the
Door
,
which
was
published
the
same
day
;
but
Mr.
Ansley
walking
afterwards
into
the
Hall
(
the
House
not
being
ready
to
sit
)
to
let
the
Members
know
,
that
though
they
were
repulsed
by
force
on
Saturday
,
the
House
was
open
for
honest
men
this
day
:
at
his
return
,
Captain
Lewson
of
Goff's
Regiment
(
as
he
confessed
himself
)
and
other
Officers
,
denied
him
entrance
:
he
asking
them
,
whether
they
were
a
Committee
to
judge
of
Members
without
doors
?
they
said
,
No
,
but
they
were
Commanded
by
their
superiour
Officers
to
let
none
in
that
had
not
sate
till
April
1653.
After
some
reasoning
the
case
with
them
,
the
Captain
told
Mr.
Ansley
,
that
if
he
would
give
his
Parol
to
return
without
sitting
,
he
might
go
in
and
speak
with
whom
he
pleased
;
so
upon
his
Parol
passed
to
the
Captain
,
he
was
permitted
to
go
in
the
second
time
,
and
soon
after
returned
,
telling
the
Captain
as
he
came
out
,
that
he
had
kept
his
Parol
,
and
wished
he
and
the
Souldiers
would
do
the
like
.
Mr.
Pryn
continued
still
there
,
and
resolved
so
to
do
,
since
he
saw
there
was
Force
again
upon
the
House
;
and
had
some
discourse
within
doors
,
and
made
them
lose
that
Morning
,
and
adjourn
by
reason
of
his
presence
,
without
the
Speakers
taking
the
Chair
:
he
attempted
to
sit
again
in
the
Afternoon
,
but
found
there
a
Troop
of
Horse
,
and
two
Companies
of
Red-coats
,
Keepers
of
the
Liberties
of
England
,
and
so
bid
them
farewel
:
immediately
after
which
,
to
prevent
further
interruption
in
their
works
of
Darkness
from
Honest
men
,
they
barred
the
Door
against
three
parts
of
four
of
the
Members
of
the
House
,
by
the
following
Vote
.
The
Rump
Exclude
the
former
secluded
Members
.
Ordered
,
That
such
persons
heretofore
Members
of
this
Parliament
,
as
have
not
sate
in
this
Parliament
since
the
year
1648.
and
have
not
subscribed
the
Engagement
in
the
Roll
of
Engagement
of
this
House
,
shall
not
sit
in
this
House
till
further
order
of
the
Parliament
.
Whereupon
,
Sir
George
Booth
,
Mr.
Ansley
,
Mr.
Knightly
,
Mr.
Pryn
,
and
the
rest
,
who
had
agreed
on
a
Letter
to
be
sent
to
them
,
finding
them
in
their
old
temper
of
trampling
the
priviledges
of
Parliament
under
foot
,
and
Judging
without
Hearing
,
resolved
to
make
no
application
to
them
.
Thus
we
saw
(
to
the
vexation
of
the
Kingdom
)
the
same
pretended
Parliament
as
was
sitting
in
1653.
(
till
the
Protector
Oliver
by
the
best
act
of
his
life
pull'd
them
out
of
the
House
)
sitting
again
upon
a
Declaration
of
the
Army
(
whose
Slaves
they
were
)
to
do
what
they
please
,
as
time
discovered
.
And
that
we
might
see
they
could
trust
few
but
themselves
,
and
were
not
changed
,
(
for
all
their
fained
repentance
)
they
were
already
returned
to
the
Good
Old
Cause
of
preferring
one
another
and
their
Friends
into
good
Offices
and
Commands
,
and
Counsellors
places
,
Qualifications
of
the
9
of
May
as
appeared
by
their
Vote
of
the
9th
of
May
,
viz.
The
Parliament
doth
declare
,
That
all
such
as
shall
be
employed
in
any
place
of
Trust
or
Power
in
the
Commonwealth
,
be
able
for
the
discharge
of
such
Trust
;
and
that
they
be
persons
fearing
God
,
and
that
have
given
testimony
to
all
the
people
of
God
,
and
of
their
faithfulness
to
this
Commonwealth
,
according
to
the
Declaration
of
Parliament
of
the
7
th
of
May
1659.
And
such
their
proceedings
thereupon
,
A

.
-
Lord

.

Sir
Tho.
Honeywood
.

Sir

Iohnson

-
Iosiah

.
-
Sir
Anth.
Ashley
Cooper
,
a
Gentleman
too
wise
&
honest
to
sit
in
such
company
.
-
Sir
Hor.
Townsend
,
a
Gent.
of
too
good
an
Estate
to
be
hazarded
with
such
a
crew
.
Next
they
discontinued
the
Term
,
The
Term
discontinued
.
(
to
the
great
damage
and
discontent
of
the
people
)
because
many
Suits
were
depending
against
Vane
and
Haslerig
.
In
fine
,
what
they
were
like
to
prove
,
or
what
good
,
rather
what
evil
was
dreaded
and
expected
from
them
,
to
an
utter
despair
and
enragement
of
the
whole
Nation
,
did
sufficiently
appear
from
the
esteem
the
people
had
of
them
,
in
the
Elections
to
the
last
Parliament
;
wherein
,
though
none
but
persons
well-affected
to
Parliaments
had
Votes
,
and
the
persons
now
sitting
laboured
hard
to
be
chosen
,
very
few
of
them
were
Elected
,
the
people
generally
looking
upon
them
as
apostates
from
the
Good
Old
Cause
;
and
therefore
no
wonder
they
would
have
that
Parliament
to
which
onely
they
were
chosen
,
never
dissolved
.
Going
about
(
by
the
example
of
the
Army
,
whose
Apes
they
were
)
to
cozen
the
people
of
their
Religion
,
Laws
,
Liberties
,
Parliaments
and
Money
,
with
a
Rattle
,
called
the
Good
Old
Cause
,
which
was
a
Cheat
greater
than
any
of
the
former
.
Being
thus
reseated
,
and
having
entred
for
qualitie
(
though
not
for
number
)
worse
,
if
worse
could
be
,
than
when
they
were
turned
out
before
,
they
fell
as
readily
as
if
there
had
been
no
disaster
on
their
power
,
upon
selling
the
remainder
of
the
King's
Lands
,
Note
,
Richard
was
to
have
20000
l.
in
all
per
annum
,
and
his
Mother
8000
l.
more
.
as
Hampton-court
,
Somerset-house
,
Greenwich
,
&c.
All
persons
were
commanded
to
quit
White-hall
,
whence
the
miserable
Richard
(
for
whom
the
Army
had
conditioned
for
ten
thousand
per
annum
for
his
life
,
&c.
in
fear
of
Arrests
,
had
withdrawn
himself
into
the
Country
.
)
Thither
these
his
Masters
sent
to
him
a
Committee
,
for
his
submission
and
resignation
;
to
which
they
sweetned
him
,
with
a
kinde
demand
of
his
Debts
,
of
which
by
their
Conditions
they
were
tied
to
discharge
him
:
He
at
first
answered
not
home
to
the
Resignation
;
but
being
urged
(
for
they
knew
his
Title
was
as
good
as
theirs
)
to
do
it
,
he
in
express
terms
added
,
He
had
learnt
not
to
be
unquiet
under
Gods
hand
,
and
should
cause
all
persons
relating
to
him
to
behave
themselves
peaceably
under
the
Government
,
from
whom
he
expected
Protection
,
May
25.
Then
he
gave
them
a
Transcript
of
his
Debts
,
by
the
hands
of
his
Steward
;
and
they
thereupon
took
him
off
a
debt
of
29640
l.
and
gave
him
a
Protection
for
six
Months
,
and
together
his
dismission
,
having
taken
and
seized
all
the
Plate
,
Hoshould-stuff
,
and
other
Utensils
whatsoever
in
White-hall
,
together
with
what
Jewels
they
could
finde
,
into
their
possession
;
and
so
exit
Richard
in
such
a
pitiful
regardless
condition
,
but
by
his
Creditors
,
that
we
shall
hear
but
little
of
him
further
in
this
Chronicle
.
They
were
next
saluted
with
an
Address
from
the
Army
in
Scotland
,
wherein
they
confessed
and
lamented
their
former
miscarriages
towards
them
;
but
at
the
end
thereof
there
was
a
hard
word
subjoyned
,
That
the
defection
was
fomented
and
caused
by
some
of
themselves
:
and
this
was
afterwards
construed
as
a
bone
of
Contention
and
Jealousie
thrown

At

they
appointed

the
Kings-Bench
,
Serjeant
Atkins
and
Archer
for
the
Common-Pleas
,
and
Serjeant

and
Voted
the
Courts
and
the
Term
to
be
in
as
full
force
as
if
the
Benches
were
full
;
afterwards
they
anew
constituted
all
those
Serjeants
in
Oliver's
time
;
and
Bradshaw
,
Serjeant
Terril
,
(
a
Buckingham-shire-Gentleman
,
and
one
formerly
of
their
party
,
but
never
in
such
publick
Office
before
,
and
now
making
use
of
it
to
good
purposes
)
and
Serjeant
Fountain
(
an
eminent
Royalist
formerly
at
Oxford
)
were
made
Lords
Commissioners
of
the
Great
Seal
.
Bradshaw
was
sick
,
the
other
two
received
it
at
the
Hands
of
the
Speaker
,
at
the
Clerk
(
Thomas
St.
Nicholas
in
stead
of
Scobel
)
his
Table
,
and
took
the
old
Engagement
;
whither
came
now
a
Petition
or
Address
from
the
Army
,
Armies
Address
.
in
prosecution
of
their
condition
of
dividing
the
Judicative
and
Executive
power
;
and
to
that
purpose
they
had
couched
herein
a
project
of
a
co-ordinate
or
select
Senate
,
the
product
of
Sir
Henry
Vane's
Wisdome
,
and
conveyed
into
their
Heads
by
Lambert
who
was
Dominus
fac
totum
.
This
was
promised
to
be
forthwith
considered
,
and
the
presenters
had
the
Thanks
of
the
House
,
who
resolved
to
new
Commissionate
the
Officers
;
which
was
done
in
the
same
manner
as
before
,
the
Speaker
in
few
words
declaring
,
That
the
Parliament
in
confidence
of
their
Ability
and
Fidelity
did
confer
,
&c.
and
this
went
throughout
the
Army
one
Regiment
after
another
.
Fleetwood
,
who
(
by
another
of
those
)
by
15
Conditions
was
to
be
Commander
in
Chief
by
Land
and
Sea
,
was
made
Lieutenant-General
with
the
said
express
Command
;
the
Transcript
of
an
Act
so
Intituled
(
it
being
so
agreed
)
being
presented
,
and
read
,
and
delivered
to
him
at
the
Clerks
Table
aforesaid
,
as
his
Commission
.
Captain
Lawson
was
made
Vice-Admiral
,
and
to
Command
the
Fleet
for
the
Narrow
Seas
this
Summer
:
This
disposal
laying
aside
General
Montague
,
who
was
expected
shortly
from
the
Sound
,
as
one
in
whom
they
had
no
confidence
,
nor
any
Interest
.
Addresses
likewise
came
from
the
Independent
and
Anabaptist
Churches
,
some
of
whom
kept
a
Thanksgiving
,
and
invited
all
the
other
Congregations
of
that
Sect
to
joyn
with
them
in
that
Voluntary
Solemnization
of
this
good
providence
;
the
chief
of
these
were
one
Iessey's
and
Canne's
Disciples
,
the
prime
favourites
of
this
RUMP
;
which
Name
it
now
universally
obtained
.
And
it
will
not
be
impertinent
to
the
designe
of
this
Chronicle
to
give
an
account
of
it
,
since
it
was
the
frequentest
word
or
by-word
of
the
times
.
This
Term
was
first
given
them
by
one
Mr.
Walker
,
The
derivation
of
Rump
.
who
writ
the
History
of
Independency
,
upon
their
secluding
and
debarring
the
House
to
their
Fellow-Members
in
1648.
when
there
remained
a
Fag-end
or
Tail
;
but
was
almost
abolished
by
the
height
and
violence
of
their
prosperity
,
nor
was
heard
of
again
until
Richard's
Parliament
,
when
Major-General
Brown
,
repeating
the
many
injuries
he
had
received
from
that
party
or
Juncto
,
in
a
scornful
Apostrophe
,
branded
it
with
this
Note
of
Infamy
,
The
RVMP
,
which
now
upon
their
re-admission
again
,
was
their
onely
appellation
,
except
among
their
own
party
.
To
court
and
oblige
the
Souldiery
about
Town
,
and
who
as
their
Guards
attended
them
,
they
raised
the
Foot
's
Pay
a
penny
,
and
the
Horse
three
pence
a
day
.
Colonel
Alured
and
Overton
were
taken
into
favour
;
the
last
made
Governour
of
Hull
,
the
other
Captain
of
their
Life-guard
,
which
now
they
had
established
,
Addresses
from
Forrain
Princes
.
Sir
Henry
Vane's
son
being
their
Cornet
.
Lockhart
was
also
confirmed
Governour
of
Dunkirk
,
from
which
place
they
had
received
Addresses
,
as
also
an
Embassador
from
France
,
another
from
the
States
General
,
from
the
King
of
Poland
,
an
Evoy
from
Sweden
,
the
like
from
the
Hans
Towns
,
from
Genoa
and
Portugal
;
so
far
had
the
dread
of
those
inconsiderable
persons
,
by
their
former
successes
,
possessed
most
of
the
Princes
of
Europe
.
Spain's
friendship
they
made
themselves
sure
of
,
with
whom
at
their
breaking
up
they
were
in
most
perfect
friendship
and
correspondence
.
They
had
an
eye
also
to
Ireland
,
and
by
Dispatches
thither
had
frighted
the
Illustrious
Lord
Harry
to
a
tame
surrender
of
that
Government
into
the
hands
of
the
Lord
Chancellor
Steel
,
Henry
Cromwel
ordered
to
surrender
the
Government
of
Ireland
.
and
Miles
Corbet
the
Chief-Baron
of
that
Exchequer
,
upon
the
very
first
notice
of
such
Orders
coming
;
which
to
oblige
them
the
more
,
he
signified
by
an
Express
,
and
that
he
was
preparing
to
follow
with
all
speed
to
give
them
an
account
of
that
Kingdom
,
which
he
left
in
a
very
good
condition
,
and
hoped
his
Successors
might
reap
more
content
in
the
Government
than
he
had
found
.
He
arrived
post-hast
immediately
after
;
and
having
given
his
account
to
the
Council
of
State
,
had
liberty
granted
him
of
going
into
the
Country
,
or
whither
he
pleased
,
as
his
Order
expresly
and
indulgently
declared
.
To
perform
on
their
part
with
the
Army
,
An
Act
of
Indemnity
published
.
now
came
out
the
new
Act
of
Indemnity
to
all
such
as
had
been
any
way
instrumental
or
active
,
or
concerned
in
the
late
Mutations
of
Government
,
from
the
date
of
the
22
of
April
,
to
the
7th
of
May
1659.
with
a
Proviso
of
their
taking
the
Engagement
.
Just
in
the
publication
of
which
,
happened
a
Fray
or
skirmish
at
Enfield
forrest
;
A
Skirmish
at
Enfield
-
chace
.
the
Country
who
had
right
of
Commons
,
being
deprived
thereof
by
certain
Enclosures
to
new-erected
Buildings
,
by
some
Officers
of
the
Army
,
who
had
purchased
the
Kings
Lands
there
,
and
kept
Guards
there
to
secure
this
their
Trespass
and
violence
;
but
the
Country-people
mastered
them
,
killing
one
or
two
,
and
wounded
a
Serjeant
,
took
the
rest
,
and
got
them
committed
to
Newgate
,
(
for
assaulting
them
as
they
were
throwing
down
the
Ditches
and
Hedges
)
whence
their
good
Masters
ordered
them
soon
after
to
be
bayled
,
being
nine
in
number
.
To
the
old
trade
they
fell
next
against
the
Royal
party
,
Priests
and
Jesuits
being
joyned
with
them
in
the
same
Condemnation
;
which
was
,
that
all
such
as
had
not
compounded
,
or
compounded
and
not
paid
their
Fines
,
should
first
depart
twenty
miles
,
Royalists
,
Priests
and
Iesuits
banished
.
and
before
the
first
of
August
leave
the
Kingdom
,
or
else
suffer
as
Traytors
:
notwithstanding
the
Council
of
State
was
impowered
,
upon
subscription
and
security
to
do
as
they
should
see
cause
in
that
matter
;
for
besides
the
old
grudge
,
they
had
now
information
of
a
Cavalier-plot
,
A
new
Cavalier-Plot
generally
laid
,
and
discovered
by
indiscretion
and
Treachery
,
&c.
laid
some
time
before
,
(
by
the
same
hands
that
betrayed
the
last
to
Cromwel
,
who
fearing
the
quick
reward
of
their
Treachery
,
did
the
same
Offices
to
this
Rump
.
)
Hereupon
they
began
to
settle
their
respective
Militia's
;
and
being
fully
satisfied
concerning
Mr.
Mordant's
actings
for
,
and
correspondence
with
the
King
,
they
required
him
by
Proclamation
to
appear
before
the
17
of
August
,
or
else
his
offences
should
be
taken
pro
confesso
;
the
designe
still
opening
by
the
unwary
discourses
of
the
Lady
Howard
,
Daughter
to
the
Earl
of
Berk-shire
,
and
the
indiscreet
conveyance
of
some
Letters
:
whereupon
she
,
and
Mr.
Ernestus
Byron
,
and
Mrs.
Sumner
,
were
committed
to
the
Tower
;
as
also
Mr.
Harlow
for
some
reports
and
stories
of
their
base
actions
,
by
the
Council
of
State
,
in
order
to
Tryal
.
The
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
who
had
some
while
before
Married
the
Lord
Fairfax's
Daughter
,
and
was
therefore
spighted
by
Cromwel
,
who
had
designed
one
of
his
Daughters
for
him
,
and
had
been
lately
released
by
Richard's
Parliament
out
of
Windsor-castle
,
came
in
now
,
and
gave
security
for
his
peaceable
demeanour
.
Arms
were
every
where
privately
bought
up
;
and
on
the
other
side
,
Ireton
the
then
Lord-Mayor
,
a
very
active
person
,
Brother
to
Ireton
deceased
,
raised
a
Regiment
of
City-Horse
,
though
the
City
Petitioned
against
it
;
and
the
separated
Churches
raised
three
Regiments
of
their
Members
,
under
Sir
Henry
Vane
,
Colonel
White
,
and
Skippon
,
who
being
through-paced
for
the
Good
Old
Cause
,
was
by
them
made
Major-General
of
the
City
,
and
all
Horses
secured
therein
,
Posts
came
now
from
several
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
of
Stirs
and
Insurrections
;
the
two
first
whereof
were
at
Tunbridge
;
Tunbridg
and
Red-hill
Risings
suppressed
.
but
a
party
of
Horse
(
the
Council
of
State
having
right
and
punctual
Information
)
were
soon
at
the
appointed
place
of
Rendezvouze
,
so
that
those
that
would
have
met
there
dispersed
themselves
;
some
few
being
taken
Prisoners
.
The
other
at
Red-hill
in
Surrey
,
where
appeared
some
100
,
under
the
Command
of
the
Earl
of
Litchfield
,
since
Duke
of
Richmond
,
who
upon
notice
of
the
Armies
Horse
advancing
,
got
timely
away
;
young
Mr.
Sackvile
Crow
,
Mr.
Penruddock
,
and
some
others
of
note
,
among
whom
was
one
Captain
Elsemere
,
formerly
a
Captain
in
Ingoldsby's
Regiment
,
being
taken
,
and
some
former
Troopers
of
the
same
,
who
were
afterwards
Sentenced
.
Massey
likewise
in
Gloucester-shire
.
Colonel
Massey
appeared
likewise
in
Gloucester-shire
;
but
by
the
same
perfect
intelligence
at
White-hall
,
he
was
no
sooner
up
,
but
he
was
seized
and
taken
by
some
of
their
Horse
,
and
being
put
behinde
one
of
the
Troopers
to
bring
him
away
,
as
they
were
marching
down
a
Hill
the
Horse
fell
,
and
gave
the
Colonel
an
opportunity
to
shove
the
Trooper
forwards
,
and
to
make
his
escape
into
an
adjoyning
Wood
;
which
was
the
fourth
he
made
during
these
troubles
.
Hertford
shire
and
Essex
were
associated
likewise
in
the
same
designe
now
forming
and
acting
;
but
the
like
discovery
prevented
it
;
Sir
Thomas
Leventhorpe
and
Mr.
Thomas
Fanshaw
hardly
escaping
a
surprize
and
seizure
.
Major-General
Brown
was
not
idle
all
the
while
in
London
;
several
Lists
being
filled
with
undertakers
of
the
Kings
Quarrel
:
but
such
was
the
vigilance
of
the
Council
of
State
who
sate
day
and
night
,
and
so
many
defeats
and
disappointments
,
and
so
many
Prisoners
evey
day
brought
in
,
that
nothing
was
done
here
.
Lambeth
Gate-house
was
made
a
Goal
,
and
Sir
Francis
Vincent
,
and
Colonel
Brown
of
Surrey
,
concerned
in
the
Earl
of
Litchfield's
attempt
,
were
Committed
thither
.
Sir
George
Booth
's
rising
in
Cheshire
,
Aug.
But
that
which
look'd
indeed
formidable
,
was
the
rising
of
Sir
George
Booth
in
Cheshire
,
who
was
a
secluded
Member
of
the
Parliament
;
with
him
appeared
the
Lord
Kilmorry
,
Mr.
Needham
Brother
to
the
said
Lord
,
Mr.
Henry
and
Mr.
Peter
Brook
a
Member
likewise
;
Sir
William
Neil
,
Major-General
Randal
Egerton
an
eminent
constant
Royalist
,
who
brought
his
former
Valour
upon
this
Stage
,
and
Colonel
Robert
Werden
of
the
same
party
,
(
which
last
two
were
put
into
that
Proclamation
,
wherein
Sir
George
Booth
,
Sir
Thomas
Middleton
,
with
their
adherents
were
Proclaimed
Traytors
)
the
same
Sir
Thomas
Middleton
and
his
sons
who
Garrisoned
Chirk
and
Harding
Castles
,
the
last
belonging
of
Justice
Glyn
:
there
joyned
also
with
him
,
the
Earl
of
Derby
(
whose
Family
Interest
in
that
Country
,
with
the
same
magnanimous
Loyalty
this
young
Nobleman
essayed
to
resuscitate
,
and
gave
great
demonstration
of
his
personal
worth
and
Gallantry
in
the
ensuing
Engagement
:
but
I
may
not
be
(
as
I
ought
)
copious
in
his
praise

)
Colonel
Gilbert
Ireland
,
who
seized
Liverpole
,
Mr.
Warburton
,
and
Mr.
Leigh
,
the
Lord
Cholmondley
,
Mr.
Marbury
,
Mr.
(
since
Sir
)
Ieoffery
Shackerly
,
and
others
:
these
Rendezvouzed
at
Routon
heath
,
and
appeared
to
the
number
of
3000
and
upwards
,
where
a
Declaration
was
read
and
published
,
shewing
that
they
took
up
Arms
for
a
Free-Parliament
,
and
to
unyoak
the
Nation
from
the
slavery
of
those
men
at
Westminster
.
To
second
this
,
the
noble
Lord
Byron
with
Colonel
Charles
White
,
with
a
party
from
Nottingham
,
Rendezvouzed
at
Sherwood-forrest
,
with
a
designe
on
Belvoyr-castle
,
but
were
frustrated
;
and
so
onward
to
Derby
,
where
they
published
Sir
George's
Declaration
,
which
the
Towns-men
very
well
approved
of
;
but
Forces
under
Colonel
Sanders
being
on
their
way
thither
,
they
were
forced
to
sit
still
,
and
cry
peccavi
;
Colonel
White
was
taken
Prisoner
.
Another
appearance
there
was
about
Shrewsbury
,
but
all
came
to
nothing
;
the
Lady
Littletons's
Sons
,
and
the
Whittingtons
were
herein
engaged
.
As
soon
as
the
news
of
this
Sir
George
Booth's
rising
was
publique
,
a
Petition
was
presented
to
the
Parliament
from
some
pretended
Cheshire-men
,
wherein
they
set
forth
,
that
to
prevent
the
like
Rebellious
Insurrections
,
the
Parliament
should
discharge
all
Tenants
of
their
Tenures
from
Delinquent
Land-lords
,
and
that
they
should
hold
their
Lands
thenceforth
of
the
Commonwealth
at
the
same
time
;
and
straight
a
Committee
was
ordered
to
withdraw
,
and
bring
in
a
draught
of
this
devi●e
:
Lambert
sen●
to
reduce
Sir
Geo
:
Booth
.
and
Major-General
Lambert
was
Commissioned
to
march
with
three
Regiments
of
Horse
and
three
of
Foot
,
and
some
Dragoons
,
(
Militia-forces
being
to
joyn
with
him
in
his
march
)
and
some
Forces
out
of
Ireland
under
Colonel
Zanchy
and
Ax●el
●
to
the
reduction
of
Sir
George
and
his
Forces
.
Colonel
Desb
rough
was
likewise
sent
with
the
same
Command
,
and
some
Forces
into
the
West
.
Proclamati●n
came
out
at
this
time
against
Mr.
Mordant
,
the
Earl
of
Litchfield
●●jor-Gen●ral
Brown
,
Sir
William
Compton
,
Sir
Thomas
Leventhorpe
,
Several

.
and
Mr.
Fa●shaw
;
the
three
last
of
whom
rendered
themselves
within
the
time
;
the
two
first
fled
;
and
the
Major-General
awaiting
another
opportunity
,
absconded
himself
at
Stationers-Hall
,
by
the
faithful
secrecy
of
Captain
Burrough●
.
The
Earl
of
Stamford
,
who
was
likewise
engaged
in
this
business
,
was
taken
at
his
House
in
Arms
,
and
carried
Prisoner
to
Leicester
,
which
was
the
condition
of
many
other
Gentlemen
;
the
Earl
of
Oxford
Prisoner
to
the
Serjeant
at
Arms
,
the
Lords
Faulkland
and
Delaware
to
the
Tower
,
whither
not
long
after
was
brought
the
Lord
Viscount
Falconbridge
,
the
Lord
Bellasis
,
and
Earl
of
Chesterfield
,
Lord
Charles
Howard
,
and
Lord
Castleton
.
Lambert
with
no
great
hast
marched
to
the
Confines
of
Chester
,
desirous
to
make
a
War
of
it
,
and
to
settle
himself
in
the
Souldiers
affections
;
but
such
course
had
been
taken
by
his
Masters
,
that
very
few
accessions
of
strength
came
in
to
Sir
George
more
than
what
were
first
numbered
,
who
nevertheless
resolved
to
abide
the
fortune
of
Battle
,
and
drew
up
neer
Norwich
(
whither
Lambert
was
advancing
)
in
the
Meadows
adjoyning
,
having
the
Rivers
before
them
,
and
the
Bridges
guarded
;
but
Lambert's
Horse
and
Foot
resolutely
fal●●●g
on
together
at
the
Bridge
,
Sir
George
Booth
defeated
,
Aug.
19
▪
the
Fight
was
soon
over
,
all
the
defence
being
made
by
one
Morgan
a
gallant
Gentleman
,
and
some
Horse
of
his
Troop
,
who
presently
died
of
his
Wounds
.
There
were
not
above
30
killed
in
all
,
and
some
500
taken
Prisoners
,
and
most
of
the
Gentlemen
and
Officers
.
This
was
August
16.
and
presently
the
Army
advanced
to
Chester
,
(
where
Colonel
Croxton
yet
held
out
the
Castle
)
and
had
it
presently
delivered
;
from
thence
to
Leverpool
,
which
was
yielded
likewise
by
Colonel
Ireland
,
while
in
the
mean
time
Colonel
Zanchy
and
Axtel
took
in
Chirk-castle
,
delivered
by
young
Mr.
Middleton
upon
terms
of
having
two
Months
time
to
make
Addresses
to
the
Parliament
;
the
rest
were
to
be
Prisoners
of
War
,
and
among
them
was
Colonel
(
since
Sir
)
Edward
Broughton
.
Harding-Castle
was
yielded
likewise
upon
the
like
Capitulations
.
Sir
George
Booth
had
made
his
escape
out
of
the
Field
,
and
got
away
,
accompanied
with
four
of
his
Servants
,
Sir
George
Booth
taken
at
Newport-pagnel
.
in
a
Womans
Disguise
;
but
at
his
Inne
in
Newport-pagnel
was
discovered
;
and
being
guarded
and
secured
,
one
Gibbons
a
Minister
posted
to
give
the
Parliament
account
of
it
,
and
was
rewarded
by
them
,
as
were
no
less
than
three
several
Messengers
sent
before
from
Lambert
,
with
the
particulars
of
the
Cheshire-defeat
.
Upon
his
bringing
to
London
,
Fleetwood
was
ordered
to
send
a
Guard
and
meet
him
at
Highgate
,
and
secure
him
to
the
Tower
,
whither
the
next
day
Sir
Henry
Vane
and
Sir
Arthur
Haslerig
were
sent
to
Examine
him
.
It
hath
since
been
plainly
confirmed
,
that
General
Monke
was
engaged
with
him
in
the
same
designe
,
under
pretence
of
a
Free-Parliament
▪
(
and
that
the
Marquess
of
Ormond
,
in
the
Habit
of
a
Pedlar
,
was
seen
ab●●●
his
House
at
Dalkeith
)
but
it
was
so
secretly
carried
,
that
nothing
appeared
at
this
time
;
nor
would
Sir
George
be
drawn
to
accuse
any
man
.
Most
certain
it
is
,
the
Kings
Restitution
was
the
bottome
of
this
Designe
:
for
before
the
appearance
of
it
,
he
had
withdrawn
privately
from
Brussels
,
and
lay
ready
upon
the
Coast
of
Britany
about
St.
Malo's
and
those
places
,
The
King
about
St.
Malos
and
Coast
of
Britany
.
to
take
shipping
for
England
upon
the
first
good
event
of
those
his
Loyal
Friends
and
Subjects
;
but
Kent
or
Sussex
was
the
place
intended
for
his
Landing
,
Turenne
the
French
General
having
engaged
to
wait
upon
him
if
he
would
oblige
it
.
But
this
unhappy
account
reaching
him
there
,
he
resolved
to
give
over
the
prosecution
of
his
right
by
the
Sword
at
present
,
(
seeing
the
almost-impossibility
of
recovering
it
by
his
English
Subjects
against
these
standing
Armies
)
and
pass
to
St.
Iean
de
Luz
,
At
St.
Jean
de
Luz
.
where
the
Treaty
betwixt
the
two
Crowns
was
then
begun
,
and
whither
Lockhart
(
upon
the
arrival
of
a
French
Embassador
hither
)
was
ordered
to
Travel
;
where
after
several
affronts
done
him
(
while
the
Ministers
of
the
King
(
not
to
mention
the
Grandeurs
of
the
Honours
done
to
himself
by
the
Cardinal
and
Don
Lewis
de
Haro
,
and
during
his
short
stay
in
the
Realm
of
Spain
)
who
were
first
the
Lord
Iermyn
his
Plenipotentiary
at
that
Treaty
,
the
Earl
of
Bristol
,
the
Lord
Chancellor
,
Sir
Henry
Bennet
the
Kings
Resident
at
the
Court
of
Spain
,
after
Secretary
of
State
,
and
others
)
he
was
better
advised
to
return
,
and
be
gone
with
more
hast
than
he
came
;
His
Master's
Concerns
being
wholly
rejected
,
and
his
Majesty's
most
affectionately
undertaken
by
both
those
Potentates
,
in
private
distinct
Articles
agreed
between
them
.
As
those
Iuncto-men
or
Rumpers
would
have
been
taken
into
this
affair
of
the
Peace
between
France
and
Spain
,
so
they
thrust
themselves
into
the
difference
between
the
two
Northern
Kingdoms
of
Denmark
and
Sweden
,
sending
Mr.
Sidney
and
Sir
Thomas
Honeywood
(
Sir
Henry
Vane's
Brother-in-law
)
their
Plenipotentiaries
to
those
Crowns
;
The
Rumps
Plenipotentaries
into
the
Sound
who
having
s●aid
there
to
no
purpose
,
returned
some
time
after
to
as
much
;
their
Masters
at
home
being
lurcht
before
:
they
had
order
to
proceed
in
the
same
method
,
and
as
far
as
the
French
or
Dutch
,
whose
project
of
the
Peace
framed
at
the
Hague
being
humbly
tendered
here
by
their
Embassador
,
was
approved
,
and
these
Commissioners
to
act
according
to
that
Module
.
General
Montague
returned
September
the
24
,
about
their
coming
thither
;
and
having
given
an
account
(
not
of
all
he
knew
or
did
there
)
concerning
the
War
there
to
the
Council
of
State
,
was
dismissed
,
having
given
the
King
very
good
assurance
of
his
readiness
and
affection
to
his
service
.
—
The
Parliament
now
were
consulting
what
more
standing
Forces
to
keep
in
the
Kingdom
;
and
to
keep
in
with
the
Sects
and
Quakers
,
now
numerous
,
they
repealed
the
Act
of
Iohn
Lilburn's
Banishment
,
and
released
Iames
Naylor
(
as
aforesaid
)
out
of
Bridewel
;
The
Act
for
Lilburn
's
Banishment
repealed
.
James
Naylor
released
.
then
against
the
last
Royalists
,
caused
a
new
Sequestration-Act
to
be
presently
passed
,
and
Commissioners
Names
expedited
.
Thus
brisk
they
were
always
upon
the
Atchievement
and
accomplishment
of
every
success
;
which
when
it
tickled
them
to
arrogance
and
confidence
,
scratched
them
soon
after
to
their
trouble
and
vexation
:
for
Lambert
having
done
the
Feat
for
them
,
was
now
upon
his
progress
in
the
Country
to
his
own
House
at
Craven
in
York-shire
,
caressing
the
people
,
having
used
his
Victory
very
civilly
;
although
he
was
heard
to
say
upon
his
setting
forth
,
(
questionless
to
make
him
more
acceptable
and
less
suspect
to
the
Rump
)
That
he
would
not
leave
a
Cavalier
to
Piss
against
the
Wall
,
or
words
to
that
effect
.
Especially
he
made
much
of
his
Officers
,
having
invited
them
to
his
House
aforesaid
,
where
their
entertainment
was
concluded
with
a
Draught
of
another
Advice
,
stiled
,
A
Petition
to
the
Parliament
.
The
General
's
policy
in
securing
the
Scotch
Nobility
.
General
Monke
in
the
mean
time
(
the
better
to
conceal
his
affection
to
the
King
)
caused
most
of
the
Scotch
Nobility
to
be
seized
on
a
sudden
,
and
upon
the
refusal
of
the
Engagement
secured
them
in
Castles
.
Very
many
,
yea
most
of
them
refused
,
besides
the
Earl
of
Glencarn
,
the
General
's
Confident
and
Privado
,
as
appeared
not
long
after
.
Lambert
was
Voted
a
Jewel
of
1000
l.
for
a
gratuity
from
the
Parliament
for
his
Cheshire-service
:
but
his
ambition
aimed
at
a
higher
Gem
;
he
therefore
desired
the
Parliament
that
they
would
think
of
paying
off
the
Militia
,
who
had
deserved
well
,
as
also
the
Irish
Brigades
,
and
the
Widows
and
relicts
of
such
whose
Husbands
were
drowned
passing
from
thence
to
their
assistance
:
which
they
readily
promised
,
sitting
brooding
continually
upon
Acts
of
Sale
and
Forfeitures
of
such
Estates
whose
last
moities
upon
purchase
had
not
been
paid
;
as
also
in
sifting
out
all
the
persons
engaged
with
Sir
George
;
and
had
traced
it
so
close
by
their
Beagles
,
Sir
Anthony
Ashley
Cooper
questioned
by
the
Rump
.
as
to
bring
Sir
Anthony
Ashley
Cooper
(
one
of
their
Council
of
State
)
into
suspicion
;
(
as
really
he
was
a
principal
in
the
Plot
,
having
been
of
the
Cabal
,
and
had
kept
intelligence
with
Sir
George
,
and
had
a
party
in
Dorset
shire
,
which
timely
dispersed
themselves
)
but
the
great
opinion
they
had
of
him
,
stop'd
the
mouth
of
his
Accusers
;
and
he
knew
well
enough
how
to
defend
himself
at
their
Bar.
They
had
likewise
got
one
of
the
King's
Letters
,
dated
the
16
of
May
,
and
other
Papers
,
which
with
the
several
Examinations
were
read
in
the
House
,
and
a
Thanksgiving-day
thereupon
appointed
,
for
this
their
great
preservation
.
They
likewise
Voted
the
Charter
of
the
City
of
Chester
void
,
and
that
it
should
be
no
longer
a
County
of
it self
,
Chester
-
Corporation
and
Charter
taken
away
.
but
lie
in
Common
;
as
also
the
Ejection
of
the
whole
Ministry
as
Malignant
;
and
received
soon
after
an
Address
from
the
Leicester-shire
Levites
of
gratulation
upon
this
their
success
,
and
a
disclaiming
and
renouncing
of
any
hand
in
that
business
,
(
which
was
feared
would
prove
most
Fatal
to
the
whole
Presbytery
,
whose
designe
this
was
vogued
to
be
by
the
insulting
Sectary
,
who
could
not
endure
to
hear
of
Tithes
,
which
the
Rump
in
policy
had
lately
Voted
pro
tempore
.
)
But
Lambert's
ambition
interposed
betwixt
them
and
danger
;
for
a
Paper
(
sent
to
Colonel
Ashfield
,
Cobbet
,
and
Lieutenant-Colonel
Duckenfield
,
from
other
of
Lambert's
Officers
)
coming
to
the
notice
of
the
Rump
,
they
sent
to
demand
it
;
and
having
it
delivered
,
presently
understood
the
device
of
it
,
and
after
a
quick
debate
of
this
Petition
,
Address
,
and
Proposals
,
angrily
Voted
,
—
That
to
have
any
more
General
Officers
in
the
Army
,
than
are
already
setled
by
the
Parliament
,
was
unnecessary
,
burdensome
,
and
dangerous
to
the
Commonwealth
.
Notwithstanding
the
Officers
met
in
solemn
Council
about
it
,
Lambert
being
come
to
Town
,
and
sitting
there
in
person
,
and
acting
his
own
designe
among
them
,
and
bidding
fair
for
it
among
the
Rump
,
the
ablest
of
whom
he
had
made
sure
to
himself
,
and
What
need
was
there
of
the
other
?
Haslerig
who
was
the
most
formidable
,
being
known
to
dare
and
say
more
than
he
would
do
,
as
Cromwel's
carriage
towards
him
had
sufficiently
evidenced
.
At
this
Council
the
Petition
was
concluded
on
,
and
ordered
to
be
presented
to
the
Parliament
on
the
4
of
October
,
by
Major-General
Desborough
;
which
he
accordingly
delivered
to
the
Speaker
as
the
sense
of
the
Army
:
which
coming
in
such
attendance
,
and
the
countenance
and
awe
of
their
Masters
,
made
them
put
on
another
face
,
and
very
fairly
answer
the
Sword-Grandee
,
with
a
Complement
of
taking
it
into
their
first
Consideration
,
nothing
to
intervene
,
save
the
Dinner
the
City
gave
them
(
both
Parliament
and
Army-Officers
)
after
a
Sermon
preached
at
Christ-Church
upon
their
Thanksgiving
October
the
sixth
,
at
Grocers-Hall
,
for
the
Cheshire-Victory
;
where
they
eat
in
spite
,
and
would
have
better
become
a
Fray
than
a
Feast
,
though
the
Army-friends
in
London
designed
this
Treat
to
conciliate
the
Rump
by
their
surfeiting
on
the
Memory
of
this
day
,
which
they
owed
to
Lambert
,
as
he
that
freed
them
from
a
worser
danger
,
than
his
whatsoever
designements
:
but
the
result
was
,
they
fed
heartily
,
and
thanked
the
City
next
day
heartily
by
Members
,
whereof
Atkins
was
one
,
sent
to
take
the
other
repast
and
Bottle
of
this
high
Entertainment
;
and
withal
the
City
obtained
the
favour
of
having
liberty
to
chuse
a
new
Lord
Mayor
,
which
was
Sir
Thomas
Alleyn
,
(
which
had
been
before
denied
,
and
Ireton
Voted
to
continue
it
again
)
so
that
the
City-Cost
was
well
expended
.
An
Answer
was
now
again
required
to
be
given
to
this
Representation
,
as
it
was
now
called
;
and
thereupon
the
Members
(
who
had
had
under
their
consideration
an
Act
for
Assessment
of
120000
l.
per
mensem
,
which
they
had
perfected
some
while
before
,
and
let
it
rest
,
as
being
informed
of
this
device
of
Lambert
,
Army-Representation
debated
.
on
purpose
to
leave
him
Moneyless
,
and
without
any
support
to
his
Ambition
)
very
closely
and
as
cunningly
applied
themselves
to
the
debate
of
the
Representation
,
which
consisting
of
seven
or
eight
immaterial
desires
concerning
maimed
Souldiers
,
Widows
,
the
Militia-pay
,
Lambert's
Officers
rewards
,
and
such
like
,
had
this
onely
substantial
Article
,
that
the
Parliament
would
Commission
a
General
,
whom
they
named
,
viz.
Charles
Fleetwood
.
The
Rump
answered
readily
in
the
affirmative
to
the
rest
;
but
to
this
Choak-pear
they
by
Resolve
stoutly
declared
,
That
the
Army
,
as
other
Free-men
,
have
right
to
Petition
,
but
must
take
care
both
in
the
manner
and
matter
of
it
;
and
that
the
Wisdom
of
the
Parliament
is
to
be
referred
to
in
all
matters
,
and
what
they
had
or
should
decree
:
and
this
for
answer
to
their
demand
of
a
General
;
and
withal
Voted
hereupon
,
(
as
knowing
they
were
betrayed
by
some
of
their
own
selves
)
That
it
is
the
duty
of
every
Member
to
inform
to
his
knowledge
of
any
thing
that
concerns
the
publick
safety
:
and
foreseeing
the
imminent
danger
of
a
force
,
ordered
the
Council
of
State
to
seize
all
publick
Papers
whatsoever
;
and
at
the
same
instant
passed
an
Act
which
did
the
feat
,
that
it
should
be
Treason
for
any
person
or
persons
to
levy
Money
without
the
consent
of
Parliament
.
Published
by
Lambert
before
answered
.
Before
the
whole
answer
could
be
framed
,
Lambert
not
liking
a
word
of
that
about
the
General
,
which
was
the
main
,
caused
his
Representation
to
be
Printed
,
that
the
equity
and
justice
of
it
might
be
publick
,
and
justifie
his
future
Actions
,
(
for
though
Fleetwood
was
mentioned
to
that
Supreme
Command
,
it
was
resolved
as
easie
a
thing
to
supplant
him
as
Richard
,
if
the
Rump
had
consented
to
the
Proposals
.
)
This
no
sooner
appeared
,
together
with
a
Letter
delivered
by
Okey
,
a
friend
to
his
fellow-Regicides
,
to
the
House
,
that
was
sent
him
from
some
Officers
of
the
Army
to
the
same
purpose
,
but
the
Rump
Voted
October
the
12
,
that
the
several
Commissions
of
Colonels
Iohn
Lambert
,
Iohn
Desborough
,
Rump

,
and
void
the
Commissions
of
Lambert
,
&c.
Iames

,
Thomas
Kelsey
,
Richard
Ashfield
,
Ralph
Cobbet
,
William
Packer
,
Robert
Barrow
,
and
Major
Richard
Creed
,
who
subscribed
the
same
Letter
,
should
be
vacated
.
Resolved
also
,
that
the
Government
of
the
Army
should
be
managed
by
Commissioners
:
That
an
Act
be
brought
in
for
repealing
the
Act
whereby
Fleetwood
was
constituted
Lieutenant-General
and
Commander
in
chief
;
and
that
Fleetwood
,
Ludlow
,
General
Monke
,
Haslerig
,
Walton
,
Morly
,
and
Overton
do
execute
the
powers
granted
to
Fleetwood
until
the
12
of
February
,
four
months
from
the
date
of
this
Resolve
,
as
also
the
next
Officers
in
the
respective
Regiments
of
these
Colonels
do
succeed
in
their
places
,
Lieutenant-Colonel
Campfield
to
Lambert
,
and
so
in
the
rest
;
and
the
Serjeant
at
Arms
was
ordered
to
attend
these
Cashiered
Officers
with
these
Orders
and
Resolutions
.
In
the
mean
while
Haslerig
in
a
great
heat
,
and
Herbert
Morley
his
Son-in-law
,
and
other
the
Commissioners
then
present
for
the
Army
,
by
Order
sare
up
all
night
in
the
Speakers
Chamber
adjoyning
to
the
House
,
and
issued
out
several
Commands
to
such
Forces
and
Commanders
as
they
thought
would
stand
by
them
,
resolving
to
oppose
Force
to
Force
,
and
be
baffled
no
more
,
with
this
Legionary
Spirit
,
that
had
haunted
and
plagued
them
so
often
.
But
Lambert
was
awake
also
,
and
at
the
same
time
marched
several
Regiments
into
King-street
Westminster
,
and
possessed
himself
of
all
the
avenues
to
the
Palace
;
such
Forces
as
these
Commissioners
had
got
to
their
side
being
forced
to
march
round
St.
Iames
Wall
in
the
night
time
,
and
so
through
Tuttle-street
into
the
Abby
,
and
St.
Margarets
Westminster
Church-yard
,
both
parties
standing
upon
their
Guard
till
the
Morning
,
The
Speaker
stopt
,
and
a
Fray
expected
.
October
13.
at
which
time
about
eleven
a
Clock
,
the
Speaker
coming
to
the
House
in
his
Coach
,
was
stopped
neer
the
Gate
that
leads
into
the
Palace
,
by
Lieutenant
Col.
Duckenfield
,
and
his
Coach
turned
and
sent
back
:
Lambert
on
Horseback
then
faced
the
Regiment
of
Morley
and
Mosse
in
the
said
Church-yard
;
and
much
stiffness
,
and
ill
looks
there
passed
between
the
Officers
,
and
some
words
,
but
never
a
blow
,
for
the
Soldiers
were
resolved
not
to
Fight
one
against
the
other
for
the
best
Parliament
or
the
best
Cause
that
ever
was
in
England
.
In
this
posture
they
continued
till
Night
,
when
the
Council
of
State
,
Lambert
prevailed
against
the
Rump
.
who
umpired
the
difference
between
the
Red-Coats
,
commanded
and
ordered
them
to
their
several
Quarters
,
as
good
friends
as
ever
.
It
must
be
remembred
,
that
the
Rump
suspecting
of
this
Juncto
of
State
,
had
privately
named
another
to
Act
,
if
a
dissolution
should
happen
.
The
Army-Officers
the
next
day
after
this
Conquest
,
met
at
Whitehal
,
and
declared
Fleetwood
for
their
General
.
They
appointed
also
a
select
number
of
the
Council
of
State
to
consider
of
fit
ways
to
carry
on
the
Affairs
of
the
Common-wealth
,
and
suspended
all
those
Officers
that
were
active
on
the
other
side
,
and
referred
them
to
a
Court
Martial
for
remedy
;
Army

giving

to
Fleetwood
,
Ludlow
,
Desborough
,
Lambert
,
Sir
Henry
Vane
,
and
Berry
,
to
nominate
all
Officers
;
and
appointed
the
reviving
of
the
old
Laws
of
Military
Discipline
,
and
that
Fleetwood
,
as
before
,
should
be
owned
for
General
,
and
Lambert
and
Desborough
as
Major
and
Commissary
General
;
the
latter
in
England
and
Scotland
too
;
not
a
syllable
mentioned
of
General
Moncks
consent
to
the
bargain
,
save
that
Colonel
Cobbet
was
dispatched
thither
to
inform
him
of
the
Passages
;
as
Colonel
Barrough
was
sent
upon
the
same
errand
to
Ireland
.

Lambert
and
Berry
were

(
Fleetwood
and
Desborough
must
needs
be
in
)
begot
or
gigged
themselves
into
another
Committee
called
a
Committee
of
Safety
,
some
few
more
being
added
from
the
City
,
who
were
to
consider
of
a
form
of
Government
;
and
if
they
thought
fit
,
to

with
the

and
to
bring
in
a
Draught

six
weeks
,
their
power
the
same
with
the
former
Council
of
State
;
to
which
this
was
added
,
they
were
to
call
Delinquets
to
Tryal
,
and
to
give
Indemnity
to
all
that
had
acted
for
the
Parliament
since
1641.

and
to

(
which

had
already
Projected

the

betwixt

)
the
Council

emitted
a
Declaration
,
The

Declaration
upon
this

shewing
the
reasons
of
the
late
Change
,
and
do
thereby
disanul
the
pretended
Act
of
Treason
,
Octob.
10.
to
Levy
Money
without
consent
in
Parliament
,
as
done
precipitantly
and
unduly
,
and
not
according
to
the
Custome
of
Parliament
;
declare
for
Ministry
,
and
the
maintenance
of
it
,
by
a
less
vexatious
way
than
Tithes
;
for
Liberty
;
and
that
the
Army
will
not
meddle
in
Civil
Affairs
,
but
refer
the
Civil
and
Executive
Power
to
the
Council
of
State
,
or
Safety
,
to
provide
for
the
Government
,
and
to
set
up
a
free
State
without
King
,
single
Person
,
or
House
of
Lords
:
And
for
Conclusion
,
desire
the
Prayers
of
the
Godly
.
The
Judges
were
nevertheless
(
in
this
mad
state
of
Affairs
)
perswaded
to
sit
in
the
several
Courts
,
Whitlock
officiating
the
Chancery
;
Sir
Thomas
Alleyn
the
Lord
Mayor
of
London
was
likewise
sworn
before
the
Barons
of
the
Exchequer
.
Sir
William
Waller
and
others
that
had
been
snapt
up
by
the
Rump
,
took
advantage
of
it
,
and
brought
their
Habeas
Corpus
to
the
Kings
Bench.
Sir
William
got
his
liberty
;
and
shortly
after
the
Earl
of
Northampton
,
Lord
Bellasis
,
Faulconbridge
,
Faulkland
,
Castelton
,
Lord
Herbert

Bradshaw

President
dieth
.
Novemb.
That
wretch
Bradshaw
died
,
at
the
Lodgings
given
him
in
the
Deans-house
at
Westminster
,
the
beginning
of
this
Moneth
of
Novemb.
in
the
same
desperate
impenitence
in
which
since
the
Fact
he
lived
,
saying
to
a
Gentleman
on
his
Death-bed
,
that
charitably
advised
him
to
examine
himself
about
the
matter
of
the
Kings
Death
,
That
if
it
were
to
do
again
,
he
would
be
the
first
man
that
should
do
it
.
He
was
freed
by
this
his
Disease
(
which
was
occasioned
by
an
Ague
,
as
Cromwel's
)
from
the
terrour
and
fear
of
the
ensuing
Change
,
the
apprehensions
whereof
setled
in
him
,
ever
since
his
Country
the
Cheshire
Design
.
He
was
grown
publiquely
confident
,
and
had
left
off
his
Guards
he
first
kept
about
him
;
but
his
privacy
was
more
than
usually
,
and
all
his
actions
and
gestures
more
reserved
:
He
was
carried
out
with
a
great
Funeral
,
and
much
attendance
of
the
Men
of
those
Times
,
and
Interred
in
the
Abby
,
and
his
Crime
published
for
his
Commendation
.
A
little
before
died
Edmund
Prideaux
,
Aturney
Gen-Prideaux
dieth
.
the
Attorney-General
throughout
the
Usurpation
,
by
which
he
got
a
very
vast
Estate
,
leaving
Sixty
Thousand
pounds
in
Gold
(
as
credible
report
went
)
in
his
Coffers
,
besides
Lands
of
very
great
demesnes
.
This
Change
(
like
a
nine
days
wonder
)
was
quite
over
,
and
the
Army
and
Lambert
here
very
brisk
and
slighting
the
Rump
,
and
all
it
could
do
;
when
a
Cooling
Card
came
from
the
North
,
in
a
Letter
from
General
Monk
,
declaring
his
unsatisfiedness
with
those
proceedings
of
the
Army
:
which
hugely
deceived
their
Expectations
,
because
he
had
so
readily
concurred
with
their
former
mutation
,
and
the
Officers
there
were
many
of
them
Phanaticks
;
but
the
Case
was
altered
,
G.
Monke
declares
his
unsatisfiedness
with
the
Army
proceedings
,
the
the
manner
how
,
Oct.
18.
he
resolved
to
assert
the
Parliamentary
Interest
;
and
when
Cobbet
(
sent
hence
)
came
to
Berwick
,
he
had
him
secured
there
,
and
sent
with
a
Guard
Prisoner
to
Edinborough
Castle
.
The
manner
of
his
declaring
for
the
Parliament
,
was
thus
:
On
the
Eighteenth
of
October
being
at
Dalkeith
,
he
sent
for
Col.
Wilks
Governour
of
Leith
,
Lieutenant-Col
.
Emerson
,
Captain
Ethelbert
Morgan
now
made
his
Lieutenant-Colonel
,
Lieutenant-Col
.
Hubberthorne
,
Cloberry
,
and
Miller
,
to
come
to
him
,
whom
he
acquainted
with
his
Resolution
;
and
they
engaged
to
stand
by
him
,
against
the
Factious
part
of
the
Army
;
as
he
characterized
them
.
On
the
Nineteenth
he
come
to
Edinburgh
,
where
his
own
,
and
Col.
Talbot's
Regiment
with
lighted
Matches
and
Ball
received
him
;
to
whom
he
declared
the
same
,
and
promised
them
their
Arrears
,
at
which
they
loudly
shouted
:
then
he
went
to
Leith
,
where
he
was
entertained
in
the
like
manner
;
and
at
his
departure
had
Seventeen
Guns
given
him
from
the
Citadel
,
and
Volleys
from
the
Regiment
:
Secures
Anabaptist
Officers
.
Then
he
turned
all
the
Anabaptist-Officers
out
of
the
Regiments
,
and
secured
them
in
Timptallon-Castle
.
At
the
same
time
,
upon
pretences
of
consulting
with
Lieutenant-Col
.
Young
of
Cobbets
Regiment
,
Lieutenant-Col
.
Keyn
,
and
Major
Kelke
of
Pearsons
Regiment
,
he
sent
for
them
to
him
;
and
upon
their
coming
clapt
them
up
,
but
released
Keyn
upon
his
promise
of
adherence
.
Together
with
them
,
he
had
advertisement
that
Col.
Read's
and
Col.
Fairfax's
Regiments
were
at
his
service
.
On
the
Twenty
first
he
marched
to
Lithgow
with
some
Horse
and
Foot
,
intending
for
Ayre
;
but
understanding
that
his
own
Lieutenant-Col
.
Holms
was
got
there
before
him
,
who
was
an
Anabaptist
,
being
loth
to
receive
any
opposition
in
the
beginning
of
his
Enterprise
,
he
returned
,
and
under
his
own
Hand
and
Seal
constituted
and
commissioned
several
Officers
in
the
room
of
those
he
had
secured
;
and
forthwith
sent
away
for
Fairfax's
,
Read's
,
and
Cobbet's
Regiments
to
March
and
joyn
with
him
,
leaving
Captain
Winter
with
Two
hundred
men
to
keep
the
Citadel
of
Saint
Iohnstons
;
which
like
number
,
and
no
more
,
he
left
in
the
other
Three
,
upon
his
departure
for
England
;
and
Rendezvouz'd
his
other
Forces
the
last
of
October
,
and
dispatcht
away
Letters
to
the
Speaker
,
The
Gen.
sends
Letters
.
Fleetwood
,
Lambert
;
as
also
to
Hull
,
where
Overton
was
now
Governour
,
by
the
Pearl-Frigot
:
and
lastly
,
a
Letter
to
the
gathered
Churches
;
for
he
was
to
fight
with
these
Hypocrites
at
their
own
Weapons
.
Colonel
Pearson
(
one
of
General
Monkes
Officers
in
Scotland
)
was
by
order
hence
sent
down
as
to
his
Charge
there
,
but
secretly
to
corrupt
and
incline
the
Army
to
Lambert
:
but
arriving
at
Newcastle
,
and
understanding
by
several
transfuges
from
Scotland
of
the
Anabaptist
Perswasion
,
what
course
G.
Monke
had
taken
,
he
staid
there
,
his
Field-Officers
being
in
custody
already
,
except
Lieutenant-Col
.
Keyn
newly
released
:
during
his
stay
here
,
Letters
were
by
his
means
intercepted
as
they
were
carrying
to
Exeter
and
Devonshire
,
And
maintains
correspondence
,
&c
,
sowed
up
in
a
mans
Doublet
,
without
any
direction
,
but
Signed
with
his
own
Hand
,
and
Written
by
Master
(
after
Sir
)
William
Clark
;
wherein
he
gave
his
Friends
notice
to
stand
upon
their
Guard
,
and
that
as
soon
as
the
Army
was
drawn
from
London
,
the
City
would
declare
with
him
,
as
he
expected
likewise
they
would
,
&c.
Pearson
at
the
sending
up
of
these
Letters
(
a
Treaty
being
then
mentioned
betwixt
both
parties
,
and
to
which
end
the
discarded
Officers
,
as
Whally
and
Goffe
,
Mr.
Caryl
and
Mr.
Barker
Independent
Ministers
,
went
in
the
way
of
Brotherly-love
to
move
and
perswade
him
)
gave
this
Comment
of
them
,
as
one
well
acquainted
with
his
General
,
That
what
ever
he
pretended
,
he
scorned
all
their
messages
and
overtures
,
meerly
winning
time
by
them
;
and
that
nothing
but
force
could
reduce
him
.
Col.
(
after
Major
General
)
Morgan
upon
the
same
pretences
,
with
Col.
Whally
,
&c.
went
out
of
Yorkshire
to
Scotland
,
and
joyned
with
the
General
,
as
he
had
received
an
invitation
from
him
by
a
private
Messenger
,
and
did
mainly
assist
in
this
ground-work
,
to
the
conclusion
and
perfection
thereof
.
In
the
mean
while
it
was
resolved
by
the
Officers
here
,
for
fear
of
the
worst
,
and
to
be
ready
against
all
accidents
,
if
no
good
could
be
done
by
this
fair
way
of
Message
,
to
send
down
Lambert
with
most
of
the
Army
Northwards
,
and
there
in
that
posture
to
expect
the
issue
;
and
he
very
willingly
(
it
being
his
own
advice
)
undertook
it
,
having
refused
and
declined
those
tenders
and
offers
,
which
particularly
my
Lord
Hatton
made
to
him
in
the
name
of
the
King
;
Lambert
offered
Terms
from
the
King
by
the
Lord
Hatton
.
If
he
would
now
at
last
mind
his
own
good
,
and
the
Kingdoms
,
in
returning
to
his
Allegiance
;
and
convert
his
designs
for
himself
,
to
the
service
of
his
Soveraign
in
his
Restitution
:
the
said
Lord
further
assuring
him
,
that
if
he
did
it
not
,
it
would
be
presently
done
without
him
,
beyond
his
power
of
remedying
it
;
and
that
therefore
he
should
not
let
slip
such
an
opportunity
of
raising
himself
and
his
posterity
.
But
he
replying
upon
the
Army-Interest
(
which
if
it
could
have
been
cemented
with
money
,
would
have
caused
a
hazardous
opposition
to
any
other
)
and
the
Anabaptist-party
(
now
very
numerous
,
Anabaptist
like
Presbytery
hath
its
turn
.
and
at
this
time
uppermost
)
for
that
had
its
turn
too
as
well
as
Presbytery
and
Independency
,
but
swayed
not
so
long
(
all
the
other
Sects
centring
here
;
for
now
was
the
time
of
the
fulness
,
and
visible
power
of
Sion
,
as
it
was
counted
by
these
People
)
resolved
to
proceed
on
this
Expedition
;
and
if
fortune
favoured
him
there
,
he
feared
no
other
Enemy
to
his
ambition
.
On
the
Third
of
November
,
a
very
ominous
day
,
as
it
was
observed
,
by
reason
the
Long-Parliament
sate
down
that
day
in
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
,
he
departed
from
London
by
Ware-road
,
and
hastned
to
New-castle
,
just
as
Col.
Barrow
was
returned
from
Ireland
,
with
the
supposed
acquiescence
of
that
Kingdome
in
this
change
;
Tomlinson
,
Iohn
Iones
and
Corbet
,
who
were
then
the
Governours
and
Commissioners
declaring
as
much
,
but
Sir
Charles
Coot
,
Sir
Hardress
Waller
upon
different
grounds
,
and
his
party
combined
against
it
.
There
was
a
project
to
get
the
City
to
write
to
General
Monke
for
a
good
Understanding
,
Sir
William
Wild
chose
Recorder
of
London
.
where
Master
(
now
Sir
)
William
Wild
very
opportunely
for
the
Times
,
he
being
a
most
knowing
and
upright
Gentleman
,
was
chosen
Recorder
in
place
of
young
Master
Green
deceased
.
General
Monke
removed
the
Officers
he
had
secured
in
Timptallon-Castle
to
the
Basse-Island
,
out
of
all
way
of
Communication
,
and
sent
Major
Knight
(
of
his
own
Regiment
of
Horse
)
with
five
Troops
as
far
as
Morpeth
in
Northumberland
;
and
upon
notice
of
the
readiness
of
Lambert
,
drew
out
more
Southwards
for
a
Bravado
,
to
let
them
see
how
resolved
and
prepared
their
General
was
,
and
departed
.
Doctor
Clargis
sent
to
the
Gen.
in
Scotland
,
Novemb.
In
the
same
instant
Col.
Talbot
and
Mr.
Thomas
Clargis
his
Excellencies
Brother-in-law
were
sent
with
another
Complement
from
hence
to
ingratiate
with
the
General
:
and
now
he
is
pleased
(
though
he
had
refused
Goff
and
Whally
(
Regicides
)
and
Caryl
their
Priest
,
whose
person
he
yet
outwardly
liked
)
to
accept
of
a
Treaty
;
and
Col.
Wilks
,
Lieutenant-Col
.
Clobery
,
and
Major
Knight
were
appointed
his
Commissiomers
to
go
for
London
to
Treat
with
Three
more
;
and
in
the
mean
while
his
Forces
should
not
stir
further
Southwards
.
These
upon
their
journey
Lambert
met
with
;
and
hoping
their
Errand
would
end
in
an
acquiescence
as
they
promised
,
did
acquisce
himself
,
and
await
the
Issue
,
which
upon
the
arrival
of
them
at
London
came
to
a
speedy
result
(
though
Three
Kingdoms
were
the
subject
of
this
Treaty
)
betwixt
Six
unlearned
men
;
and
like
a
happy
Revelation
was
cryed
about
the
Streets
the
next
morning
:
the
Heads
were
these
.
Moncks
Commi●sioners
agree
,
to
no
purpose
,
Novemb.
Novemb.
16.
They
were
proposed
,
the
Seventeenth
concluded
,
viz.
The
Family
of
the
King
utterly
to
be
excluded
,
a
Free-State
Setled
,
the
Ministry
and
Vniversities
encouraged
,
the
Generals
Officers
imprisoned
to
be
released
,
and
a
general
Indemnity
of
the
Parliament-party
,
and
the
Armies
to
retire
presently
into
Quarters
,
and
Three
Army-Officers
of
each
Kingdome
,
and
a
general
Council
of
them
,
with
ten
Sea-Off●cers
,
and
I
know
not
what
Embryo
,
to
meet
on
the
Sixth
of
December
at
Whitehall
,
and
to
conclude
as
Vane
had
codled
it
:
about
which
time
Captain
Robinsons's
and
Captain
Deans's
Troops
deserted
him
,
Robinson
bringing
his
Troop
away
with
him
,
his
Brother
being
then
Clerk
of
the
Committee
of
Safety
,
and
allied
,
by
Marriage
of
a
Daughter
,
to
Sir
Nicholas
Crispe
.
But
the
General
was
intent
upon
another
more
taking
Assembly
at
home
,
having
issued
out
Writs
by
his
own
Precept
and
Authority
for
convening
some
of
the
Nobles
,
and
two
for
every
County
of
Scotland
(
while
as
yet
he
lay
in
the
Confines
of
England
with
some
part
of
his
Army
,
from
which
parts
he
sent
away
a
Letter
by
Col.
Markham
and
Atkins
to
the
City
of
London
,
of
the
Tenour
of
the
former
intercepted
to
Devonshire
,
which
being
read
at
a
Common-Hall
,
was
by
all
means
endeavoured
to
be
blasted
as
fictitious
,
and
the
Messengers
imprisoned
.
General
Monke
calls
a
Scotch
Convention
,
and
obtains
his
demands
.
The
Scotch
Convention
met
the
General
according
to
his
Summons
,
at
Edenburgh
,
where
he
propounded
to
them
;
First
,
The
security
of
the
Peace
in
his
absence
;
which
,
he
said
,
He
was
constrained
to
,
in
defence
of
the
Parliament
,
and
our
Laws
(
in
general
terms
.
)
Secondly
,
That
they
would
Assist
him
if
any
Troubles
should
arise
.
And
Thirdly
,
That
they
would
raise
him
some
money
.
To
this
they
readily
answered
,
(
being
Oracled
,
)
That
as
to
the
first
,
they
had
no
Arms
,
and
therefore
were
in
no
condition
nor
capacity
to
provide
against
any
Insurrections
,
but
would
endeavour
.
Secondly
,
That
it
could
not
be
expected
,
nor
were
it
reasonable
for
them
to
interest
themselves
in
a
War
,
which
if
prosperous
,
had
no
assurance
of
advantage
;
if
unhappy
,
would
be
farther
ruinous
to
them
.
Thirdly
,
That
as
to
moneys
,
they
were
exhausted
already
;
but
yet
confiding
in
his
Noble
and
Honourable
design
,
they
would
raise
him
a
Twelve
Moneths
Assessement
,
which
amounted
to
Sixty
thousand
pounds
;
and
the
Revenues
of
the
Excise
and
Customes
besides
.
The
Earl
of
Glencarn
Chair-man
to
that
Convention
.
The
Earl
of
Glencarn
had
the
Chair
here
,
one
of
the
General
's
Privadoes
,
a
former
Eminent
Royallist
,
and
at
present
deem'd
a
moderate
man
;
having
in
all
things
complyed
with
the
General
's
Orders
.
—
This
is
one
of
the
Curtain-stories
which
cannot
be
pryed
into
as
yet
,
as
are
the
other
abstruse
contrivances
of
the
Kings
Restitution
;
it
is
sufficient
to
mind
the
Reader
,
that
some
great
Providence
was
at
hand
,
when
a
revengeful
and
most
desperate
Enemy
gratified
his
Conquerour
by
the
opening
of
his
Heart
and
his
Hands
,
instead
of
striving
with
this
advantage
,
and
arming
himself
to
the
recovery
of
that
Peoples
Liberty
.
The
Committee
of
Safety
(
for
all
Vane's
curious
Modules
)
liked
not
themselves
in
this
their
Government
;
but
to
free
themselves
by
a
Proclamation
,
declared
their
resolution
for
another
Parliament
,
and
that
they
were
upon
qualifications
,
and
summoning
one
speedily
.
One
Barret
sent
out
of
Ireland
with
a
Letter
to
Gen.
Monke
from
the
Army-party
there
,
was
likewise
imprisoned
:
all
the
whole
Force
in
Scotland
were
now
together
;
to
wit
,
the
Generals
Regiments
,
Wilks's
,
Talbot's
,
Fairfax's
,
Pearson's
,
Read's
,
Smith's
,
and
Sawrey's
of
Foot
;
and
His
own
Col.
Twisleton's
Morgan's
,
and
Saunders's
of
Horse
(
the
latter
of
whom
was
detained
in
a
kind
of
restraint
of
Coventry
)
nevertheless
the
General
pretended
still
to
an
Agreement
,
and
therefore
declaring
not
himself
fully
satisfied
,
desired
the
addition
of
two
more
Commissioners
to
treat
with
his
other
three
at
Newcastle
,
with
five
more
of
Wallingford-house
;
the
chief
of
whom
was
Col.
Clerk
,
who
came
post
to
Newcastle
;
where
having
conferred
,
the
General
sends
for
his
Commissioners
,
to
be
fully
informed
of
the
transaction
before
he
ratified
it
,
because
of
the
late
mistake
of
his
Commissioners
at
London
;
and
upon
their
arrival
,
clapt
up
Col.
Wilks
for
exceeding
his
Instructions
.
The
General
was
now
at
Berwick
,
whence
he
sent
Letters
to
Fleetwood
,
assuring
him
,
that
in
all
this
difference
there
,
he
had
no
personal
quarrel
against
him
,
but
could
return
into
a
most
firm
friendship
with
him
.
But
now
his
temporizing
came
to
an
end
:
for
Hazelrig
,
Portsmouth
seized
by
Hazelrig
,
December
4.
Morley
,
Walton
,
(
Col.
Norton
was
then
also
present
)
got
into
Portsmouth
;
and
Whetham
the
Governour
(
formerly
of
the
Generals
Council
in
Scotland
)
siding
with
them
,
they
presently
seized
upon
such
Officers
as
were
thought
to
favour
the
Wallingfordians
,
of
which
were
Captain
Brown
,
and
Captain
Peacock
,
and
declared
for
the
Parliament
;
which
coming
to
the
Ears
of
the
Council
of
Officers
,
they
presently
ordered
Major
Cadwel
with
a
Party
of
Horse
to
block
them
up
,
who
accordingly
came
to
Gospur
on
the
other
side
the
water
;
and
Riches
and
Berries
Troops
were
sent
to
joyn
with
him
;
who
instead
thereof
,
being
inveagled
by
Col.
Vnton
Crook
and
Major
Bremen
,
marched
into
Portsmouth
,
and
joyned
with
Hazelrig
.
Then
began
the
Tumults
in
London
,
Tumults
in
London
about
a
Free-Parliament
,
Decemb.
throughout
.
and
instant
applications
were
made
to
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Aldermen
to
declare
against
both
Army
and
Rump
,
the
last
of
whom
was
most
abhorred
,
and
cryed
out
against
with
the
general
voice
,
of
No
Rump
;
and
a
Petition
for
a
Free-Parliament
,
as
the
only
way
to
preserve
the
City
and
Kingdome
,
was
preferred
for
Hands
;
which
the
Committee
of
Safety
under
high
Penalties
forbid
:
but
no
regard
being
had
to
them
,
nor
no
application
of
any
person
to
them
,
but
their
own
Army-folk
(
save
that
Sir
George
Booth
obtained
his
Liberty
upon
Bail
,
from
them
,
because
of
indisposition
,
and
for
recovery
of
his
health
in
better
Ayr
)
the
said
Petitions
were
carried
on
,
and
high
things
resolved
on
;
Shops
being
shut
up
,
and
the
Publick
only
minded
,
people
running
in
clusters
in
the
middle
of
the
Street
,
and
hearing
and
telling
of
News
,
an
threatning
or
expecting
(
as
news
came
)
nothing
but
Destruction
.
These
things
being
posted
to
Wallingford-house
,
Hewson
Marcheth
with
Terrour
into
London
.
Colonel
Hewson
with
his
Regiment
was
ordered
to
march
into
the
City
,
and
quell
these
Tumults
and
Uproars
;
who
accordingly
came
strutting
in
,
and
seeing
some
gatherings
of
Apprentices
and
others
,
having
commanded
them
to
be
gone
,
bid
his
Musquetiers
fire
,
who
killed
two
men
about
the
Exchange
:
Horse
and
Foot
were
also
quartered
in
the
Streets
,
and
round
about
the
City
.
Lambert
seeing
no
good
was
to
be
expected
by
this
Treaty
,
Lambert
would
Fight
.
his
Messenger
Col.
Zanchy
being
secured
at
Berwick
,
advanced
to
Perith
,
having
almost
spoiled
and
wasted
the
Country
about
Newcastle
,
with
his
numerous
(
and
indeed
gallant
)
Army
;
for
he
had
the
flower
of
it
with
him
,
both
for
Horse
and
Men
:
money
was
wanting
,
and
could
not
be
had
;
so
that
free-quarter
,
on
which
he
was
forced
to
subsist
(
having
almost
undone
himself
,
to
supply
his
incident
necessities
of
the
Expedition
,
)
made
him
not
only
odious
,
but
disheartned
his
men
;
which
to
remedy
,
he
concluded
to
March
forward
;
and
so
came
to
Perith
,
intending
to
Fight
.
Nothing
in
the
interim
,
but
fears
,
rage
,
desperation
,
revenge
,
private
and
publick
consultations
about
the
redress
of
these
mischiefs
,
filled
the
City
of
London
;
and
nothing
but
a
Free-Parliament
could
be
thought
of
as
a
fit
expedient
:
which
,
the
Committee
of
Safety
found
it
high
time
to
personate
;
being
already
certain
,
that
Portsmouth-story
would
spoil
all
:
and
therefore
to
prevent
the
Rump
,
A
Free-Parliament
noised
as
the
only
expedient
.
Proclaimed
,
December
15.
a
Free-Parliament
to
sit
down
the
Twenty
fourth
of
Ianuary
,
upon
sundry
qualifications
,
which
were
to
be
formed
out
of
these
Seven
Fundamentals
:
1.
No
King
.
2.
No
single
Person
.
3.
The
Army
to
be
continued
.
4.
Liberty
of
Conscience
.
5.
No
House
of
Peers
.
6.
Legislative
and
Executive
Power
distinct
.
7.
Both
Assemblies
of
the
Parliament
and
Council
of
State
to
be
chosen
by
the
People
;
which
was
the
Co-ordinate
Senate
of
Sir
Henry
Vane's
Fiction
,
of
which
he
was
desperate
in
love
,
with
Narcissus
,
unto
his
death
.
These
made
the
Commonalty
worse
mad
than
before
,
and
made
them
more
the
scorn
,
than
the
fear
of
the
People
;
which
to
lessen
also
,
Lawson
declares
for
the
Parliament
,
and
came
up
with
his
Fleet
into
the
River
;
and
the
Portsmouth-blades
began
to
stir
;
so
that
Wallingford-house
began
to
look
thin
.
Sir
Henry
Vane
and
Salway
howsoever
undertook
to
cajole
Lawson
;
but
Mr.
Scot
met
them
on
Board
the
said
Vice-Admiral
(
where
the
righteousness
of
these
Actions
was
disputed
)
and
spoiled
their
Game
.
Another
Cavalier-Plot
was
discovered
;
which
was
the
likeliest
of
all
to
take
,
Major
General
Brown
in
a
new
Design
.
being
laid
in
the
City
,
and
under
the
Conduct
of
Major-General
Brown
;
some
part
of
the
Forces
being
in
Arms
the
Night
appointed
;
but
it
was
discovered
,
and
divers
Gentlemen
and
Horse
taken
at
the
White-Horse
by
More-gate
.
I
should
mention
also
a
Plot
upon
the
Tower
,
by
Scot
and
Okey
for
the
Rump
,
&c.
but
it
taking
no
effect
,
I
pass
it
.
But
the
Reader
will
be
weary
of
these
traverses
,
and
therefore
to
the
event
.
Wallingford-House
broke
up
,
and
Army
submit
.
Things
being
thus
brought
about
by
the
activity
of
some
Rumpers
,
and
the
Army
not
likely
to
receive
a
penny
pay
more
,
as
full
information
was
given
the
Souldiery
,
the
Wallingford
people
broke
up
House
;
and
the
Officers
and
Army
in
Town
presently
submitted
to
the
Speaker
;
Rendezvouzing
first
in
Lincolns-inne-fields
,
where
they
were
headed
by
Col.
Okey
and
Col.
Alured
;
and
thence
they
Marched
down
Chancery-lane
through
Holborn
,
where
the
Speaker
was
come
down
to
the
dore
of
the
Rolls
,
and
there
the
Officers
made
their
obeysance
,
and
expressed
their
joy
,
and
cheerfully
returned
to
their
duty
;
which
done
,
the
Speaker
with
Sir
Anthony
Ashly
Cooper
,
&c.
took
Coach
and
went
to
the
Tower
,
where
they
were
likewise
admitted
,
and
had
the
Keys
delivered
by
Lieutenant-Colonel
Miller
;
and
the
said
Sir
Anthony
,
Mr.
Weaver
,
and
Iosiah
Berners
left
by
the
said
Speaker
as
Lieutenant-Commissioners
in
that
place
:
This
happened
on
the
24
of
December
.
Lord
Fairfax
Arms
against
Lambert
.
Desborough's
Regiment
of
Horse
(
sent
out
of
the
North
to
assist
against
Portsmouth
,
and
to
countenance
the
Wallingfordians
)
stayed
at
Saint
Albans
,
and
concluded
on
submission
,
as
did
their
Clown
or
Colonel
,
while
in
the
mean
time
Col.
Salmon
was
sent
away
by
the
Officers
here
,
to
give
Lambert
an
account
of
this
turn
,
upon
whose
back
the
County
of
York
was
risen
;
the
Lord
Fairfax
with
a
great
party
of
Horse
being
then
in
York
,
whither
Col.
Lilburn
came
and
joyned
with
him
:
the
Irish
Brigades
also
marched
off
in
discontent
,
so
that
there
needed
not
any
Order
of
Parliament
for
Lambert
to
lay
down
,
his
Arms
and
be
quiet
;
Lambert
deserted
.
for
as
soon
as
Salmon
came
,
the
mighty
design
was
crawl'd
into
an
Inne
,
and
a
Pot-Consulatation
held
how
to
come
off
,
not
with
Honour
,
but
with
Safety
;
and
the
next
News
heard
of
him
,
was
,
that
he
was
seen
at
Northallerton
,
with
about
Fifty
Horse
,
and
no
more
,
of
all
his
great
Army
.
And
thus
was
Richard
Cromwel's
deposition
revenged
by
Lambert's
just
desertion
;
and
the
Rump
victorious
,
returned
again
to
their
old
House
at
Westminster
,
with
such
proud
surly
looks
,
as
made
the
Red-coats
themselves
to
quake
.
The
26.
of
Decemb.
at
Night
,
The
Rump
reseated
.
Dec.
26.
they
got
Possession
again
;
and
Voted
several
Orders
,
especially
about
the
Souldiery
:
and
because
Sir
Arthur
and
Morley
,
the
former
Commissioners
,
were
not
present
,
they
Constituted
new
ones
,
viz.
Mr.
Alexander
Popham
,
Sir
Anthony
Ashley
Cooper
,
Scot
,
Okey
,
Thompson
,
Markham
,
and
Allured
;
giving
them
power
to
suppress
Insurrections
,
of
which
they
were
much
in
danger
.
However
,
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Court
of
Aldermen
had
stilled
the
clamours
and
Petitions
for
a
Free-Parliament
(
for
they
scorned
to
ask
the
Rump's
consent
)
with
a
promise
it
should
be
effected
:
for
nothwithstanding
the
Rump
sate
,
which
was
thought
by
the
Vulgar
the
only
thing
intended
after
all
this
stir
(
for
they
did
prank
it
like
the
Flie
on
the
Wheel
(
in
the
Fable
)
who
gloried
that
he
raised
the
dust
)
the
Mayor
and
Court
of
Aldermen
sent
away
their
Sword-bearer
to
the
General
with
Letters
of
Cachet
,
The
City
sent
their
Sword-bearer
to
the
Gen.
which
came
safe
to
his
Hands
,
and
were
with
all
affection
and
civility
received
,
and
answered
in
time
to
the
purpose
.
In
Ireland
,
Sir
Theophilus
Iones
and
Col.
Warren
seize
Dublin-castle
;
and
after
,
Ludlow
,
Corbet
,
Tomlinson
,
and
Iohn
Iones
were
summoned
into
England
,
to
answer
an
Impeachment
of
Sir
Charles
Coot
against
them
.
A
new
Council
of
State
was
appointed
;
and
all
what
General
Monck
had
done
in
displacing
Officers
,
and
carrying
on
the
Service
,
was
approved
of
,
and
thanks
ordered
him
;
and
Hazelrig
being
come
to
Town
,
Hazelrig
thanked
,
&c.
and
lighting
at
the
Palace-yard
in
Triumph
,
at
the
Head
of
Thirty
Troops
of
Horse
,
was
thanked
likewise
most
solemnly
,
as
was
Rich
also
in
the
House
;
and
as
much
had
Col.
Henry
Ingoldsby
for
his
Relation
of
the
taking
of
Windsor-castle
.
The
next
work
was
,
to
make
sure
of
the
City
of
London
,
and
so
to
borrow
some
money
,
(
for
all
the
revenues
of
the
Good
Old
Cause
were
not
worth
one
farthing
,
besides
Excise
and
Customes
;
)
and
therefore
a
Conference
was
held
at
Whitehall
,
Sir
Arthur
being
the
chief
of
the
Committee
of
the
Rump
:
but
the
one
would
not
endure
to
hear
of
lending
of
money
to
pay
their
Enemies
;
nor
would
the
other
hear
of
a
Free-Parliament
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
General
signified
to
the
House
,
that
because
he
supposed
them
not
yet
free
enough
,
he
would
with
his
Army
come
to
London
:
(
his
Souldiers
were
then
very
full
of
money
by
the
Scotch
advance
,
and
some
Thousands
of
pounds
from
London
;
which
made
them
willing
to
undergo
that
hard
duty
(
the
necessity
of
guarding
themselves
from
surprize
and
treachery
had
put
them
upon
.
)
Upon
Receipt
of
this
Letter
,
General
Monk
signifies
his
intentions
of
coming
to
London
.
they
Vote
him
a
Thousand
pounds
a
year
;
and
that
he
be
desired
to
come
to
London
;
and
a
hundred
thanks
again
:
and
this
News
kept
them
from
proceeding
severely
against
Lambert
;
upon
whom
they
had
an
eye
,
to
oppose
him
against
the
General
,
if
he
should
Army-master
them
:
they
discharged
Sir
Henry
Vane
of
his
Membership
;
as
likewise
they
did
Saloway
,
and
committed
him
to
the
Tower
,
for
their
Committee
of
Safety
project
.
All
the
Officers
in
Lamberts
Combination
,
were
commanded
to
their
respective
Houses
in
the
Country
;
and
Vane
to
his
a
Raby
,
in
Durham
Bishoprick
;
and
Sir
Anthony
Ashley
Cooper
constituted
a
Col.
of
Horse
—
in
very
good
time
!
Sir
Henry
Vanes's
Phanaticks
of
the
Three
Regiments
were
disarmed
,
and
their
Arms
ordered
to
be
carried
into
the
Tower
;
and
new
Commissions
to
the
Officers
in
England
;
when
news
came
of
several
stirs
and
commotions
in
Gloucestershire
,
Devonshire
,
and
Cornwal
,
about
a
Free-Parliament
.
I
ommitted
,
that
the
Officers
here
in
London
submitted
,
upon
a
promise
of
Indemnity
,
which
was
Passed
by
a
Vote
,
Robinson
and
Scot
sent
to
meet
him
.
with
this
condition
,
That
they
return
to
their
duty
by
the
ninth
of
Ianuary
;
and
Captain
Chillingham
was
sent
with
this
Order
to
Lambert
.
But
because
of
the
frequency
of
these
Commotions
,
and
that
matter
of
Fact
will
sufficiently
shew
this
Transaction
of
the
General
with
the
several
Counties
,
and
the
Commissioners
of
the
Rump
,
Scot
and
Robinson
,
appointed
to
wait
on
him
,
meerly
to
sift
out
,
and
discover
his
intentions
:
I
will
give
the
Reader
a
bare
Journal
of
the
Affairs
as
they
passed
.
But
before
I
proceed
,
the
Reader
is
to
take
notice
,
That
our
Soveraign
having
been
highly
treated
at
his
return
from
St.
Iean
de
Luz
,
at
Paris
,
by
the
Duke
of
Orleans
,
The
King
returns
in
State
,
and
with
great
Reception
to
Brussels
and
regarded
now
as
the
Monarch
of
great
Britain
,
(
such
assured
confidence
there
was
of
his
Restitution
;
)
passed
in
great
State
publiquely
to
Brussels
,
where
His
return
was
no
less
magnificently
welcomed
,
and
there
abode
till
the
dissolution
of
this
Parliament
,
the
Rump
,
which
now
,
as
their
last
Engine
(
and
dying
Efforts
are
most
vigorous
)
against
Monarchy
,
and
its
fortress
of
Loyalty
,
had
under
their
consideration
an
Act
for
Renuntiation
and
Abjuration
of
the
Title
and
Right
of
the
King
,
and
the
whole
Line
of
King
Iames.
Abjuration
of
the
King
intended
by
the
Rump
.
Oliver
had
proceeded
to
the
disanulling
it
;
this
,
to
the
damning
of
the
Nation
,
who
had
sworn
to
maintain
it
.
But
rather
than
sink
,
as
they
plainly
saw
the
King
would
at
last
be
too
hard
for
them
,
by
the
late
Commotions
and
Insurrections
in
his
behalf
;
therefore
they
bethought
themselves
of
this
Italian
revenge
,
to
ruine
the
Bodies
and
Souls
together
of
their
Enemies
:
this
was
afterwards
prosecuted
while
the
General
was
among
them
;
and
a
Petition
delivered
by
Barebones
,
and
other
Good-Old-Cause-men
,
and
Fanaticks
,
and
they
most
abominably
thanked
for
this
their
love
and
care
of
the
Common-wealth
.
At
the
same
time
Sir
Iohn
Roll
,
and
other
Devonshire
Gentlemen
,
listed
and
engaged
all
that
Country
upon
the
account
of
a
Free-Parliament
;
according
to
the
Cabal
betwixt
the
General
and
him
,
Mr.
Morrice
now
Secretary
,
and
others
.
And
this
strength
the
General
relyed
on
,
upon
all
events
,
as
his
own
Country-men
;
and
doubtless
this
resolution
of
that
County
was
of
very
great
influence
in
the
ensuing
Affairs
.
Scot
and
Robinson
were
sent
to
cajole
the
General
with
another
Letter
of
thanks
to
him
;
as
also
another
was
sent
to
Major-General
Morgan
;
Col.
Sydenham
a
Member
of
the
Committee
of
Safety
,
and
of
Oliver
Cromwels's
Council
,
discharged
the
House
.
A

Exeter

Alderman
Fouk

General

The
General
at
Nottingham
,
came
our
a
Declaration
of
the
Parliament
against
Kingship
,
but
not
a
word
of
D●ssolving
themselves
,
or
filling
up
the
House
.
Sir
Robert
Pye
and
Major
Fincher
,
for
tendring

of
the
County
of

were
committed
to

General
Monck
arrived
at
Leicester
,
and
was
met
there
by
Scot
and
Robinson
,
who
sent
the
Parliament
a
copy
of
his
Letter
to
the
Devonshire
Gentlemen
:
great
seeming
kindness
past
between
them
.
An
Act
passed
the
House
,
being
a
Bill
of
Assessment
of
One
hundred
thousand
pounds

Moneth
,
for
six
Moneths
,
throughout
England

and
compendious

Scotland
,
and
Ireland
:
they
had
made
it
at
first
for
Twelve
;
but
it
passed
at
last
for
Six
.
At
Harborough
the
General
was
met
with
the
London-Commissioners
,
to
whom
he
speaks
fair
:
the
High
Sheriff
of
Northamptonshire
,
and
the
Major
of
the
Town
,
congratulate
him
;
The
Lord
Falkland
came
thither
also
with
the
Oxfordshire
Address
for
a
Free-Parliament
,
attended
by
the
Gentry
of
that
County
,
and
had
a
fair
reception
:
at
Stony
Stratford
the
Gentlemen
of
Bucks:
the
like
at
Dunstable
;
and
at
St.
Albans
he
received
more
of
the
same
nature
from
the
County
of
Norfolk
,
by
the
hands
of
the
Lord
Richardson
,
and
Sir
Horatio
Townsend
;
and
other
places
:
to
which
he
answered
ambiguously
and
fairly
,
giving
them
all
civil
and
most
obliging
Reception
,
even
to
the
Apprentices
of
London
,
who
came
thither
with
a
Petition
of
the
same
nature
;
the
General
parting
with
the
expressions
of
his
care
and
endeavour
for
their
and
the
Cities
good
,
and
was
uncovered
all
the
while
.
Thence
he
desired
the
Parliament
,
that
the
Army
in
Town
,
for
fear
of
Infection
,
be
distributed
into
the
Country
,
to
make
room
for
his
own
Forces
:
about
which
,
Tumults
arose
in
the
Guards
at
St.
Pauls
;
and
more
pertinaciously
at
Somerset-house
;
which
caused
the
General
,
being
invited
also
by
the
Rump
,
to
make
extraordinary
hast
thither
.
Several
Reports
made
to
the
House
,
concerning
Qualifications
and
Elections
.
On
the
second
of
February
he
Rendezvouzed
that
morning
at
Finchly-heath
,
where
he
drew
up
his
Army
,
having
marched
from
Barnet
;
Gen.
Monck
at
London
.
and
by
St.
Iohns-street
and
Holborn
,
down
Chancery-lane
,
came
with
his
Army
into
the
Strand
,
where
at
Somerset-house
he
was
met
by
the
Speaker
.
They
saluted
each
other
with
the
Title
of
Lord-General
:
The
General
afterwards
waited
on
him
to
his
Coach
,
and
then
to
refresh
;
but
he
refused
White-hall
for
his
Quarters
.
Next
day
after
he
was
conducted
to
his
audience
at
the
House
,
where
he
had
a
Speech
made
to
him
by
the
Speaker
,
being
a
thankful
Commemoration
of
his
services
;
to
which
he
modestly
replied
,
refusing
to
sit
in
the
Chair
placed
for
him
by
their
order
,
declining
all
the
praises
given
him
(
as
he
never
intended
any
service
for
them
)
but
desiring
them
to
be
very
tender
of
the
Gentry
of
this
Kingdom
,
(
which
would
prove
their
Interest
)
and
of
Oaths
and
Engagements
,
&c.
so
was
with
great
respects
reconducted
and
attended
to
his
Lodging
,
where
he
continued
in
good
intelligence
with
them
,
till
their
politick
Revenge
put
him
upon
this
Adventure
to
make
a
Feud
between
him
and
the
City
:
for
the
City
refusing
to
pay
the
money
assessed
upon
them
by
the
late
Act
of
100000
l.
per
mensem
,
the
Rump
order
the
Gates
and
Portcullices
to
be
pulled
down
by
the
General
,
Gates
and
Portcullices
pulled
down
,
Feb.
9.
and
several
Citizens
to
be
apprehended
,
viz.
Sir
William
Vincent
,
Sir
Thomas
Bludworth
,
Sir
Laurence
Bromfield
,
Sir
Richard
Ford
,
Major
Cox
,
Mr.
Penning
Lieutenant-colonel
Iackson
,
Mr.
Spencer
,
Major
Chamberlain
,
and
Mr.
Brown
a
Grocer
in
Wood-street
,
and
sent
to
the
Tower
;
which
the
General
performed
.
They
likewise
ordered
the
discontinuance
of
the
Common
Council
for
that
year
,
and
proceeded
to
nominate
another
,
and
to
settle
a
new
Militia
.
The
Gates
were
accordingly
pulled
down
,
the
thumps
of
the
Hammers
even
piercing
the
hearts
of
the
Citizens
.
Such
an
affront
and
revenge
never
any
of
our
Princes
in
his
greatest
rage
did
to
this
place
,
where
likewise
the
Army
was
perforce
Quartered
.
But
after
the
pulling
down
of
the
Gates
,
the
General
sent
a
Letter
to
the
Parliament
,
acquainting
them
how
grievous
and
distastful
the
action
was
to
his
nature
,
intimating
also
the
great
Merit
of
the
City
towards
them
throughout
the
War
;
and
on
Friday
,
after
several
Conferences
managed
before
him
by
some
of
the
secluded
Members
and
City
,
and
others
of
the
Rump
,
(
He
pretending
his
desire
of
satisfaction
for
their
Exclusion
,
of
the
evidence
of
danger
of
their
readmission
,
which
the
Rump
were
now
unarmed
to
dispute
,
(
his
Commission
from
them
as
Commissioner
for
governing
the
Army
being
then
also
expired
)
(
and
the
publication
of
a
Petition
subscribed
by
Barebone's
and
others
to
abjure
the
King
)
as
afterwards
with
the
Mayor
and
Court
of
Aldermen
at
Guild
hall
,
who
used
their
endeavours
with
him
in
the
business
;
he
marched
out
of
the
City
with
his
Army
to
their
Quarters
;
and
on
Saturday
sent
another
Letter
to
the
Parliament
,
wherein
he
laid
open
the
dangerous
designes
countenanced
by
themselves
in
conniving
at
Lambert
,
particularly
the
business
of
Barebone's
Petition
,
setting
forth
that
there
had
been
Oaths
too
many
already
;
The
General
rendezvoused
in
Finsbury-fields
,
and
declares
for
a
free
Parliament
and
City
,
Feb.
9.
Bonfires
and
Rumps
roasted
that
night
.
(
and
as
before
)
in
the
afternoon
he
Rendezvoused
in
Finsbury-fields
,
and
from
thence
marched
into
London
,
where
he
and
his
Army
were
joyfully
entertained
,
declaring
himself
for
the
City
and
a
free
Parliament
.
Towards
evening
,
the
City
rung
every
where
with
the
news
of
it
,
with
such
Acclamations
,
and
shone
with
so
many
Bonfires
,
(
where
they
burnt
and
roasted
all
manner
of
Rumps
in
detestation
of
the
Juncto
then
sitting
)
that
it
seemed
a
Theatre
of
mad
&
extasied
people
;
nor
is
it
possible
any
expressions
of
it
should
reach
the
sense
and
belief
of
Posterity
;
Money
being
thrown
among
the
Souldiers
,
as
if
now
there
would
be
no
more
occasion
for
it
,
but
that
the
Golden
Age
swiftly
approached
:
The
Speaker
at
his
return
from
the
House
being
in
danger
of
his
life
.
Innumerable
the
Ballads
and
Ribaldry
made
of
this
Rump
.
The
General
continued
in
London
,
and
disarmed
most
of
those
Phanatick
persons
who
had
been
listed
by
the
Committee
of
Safety
;
and
notwithstanding
the
Order
of
the
Rump
,
yet
kept
their
Arms.
The
aforesaid
Conferences
were
yet
held
,
and
the
General
assisted
at
the
debates
between
some
of
the
Members
sitting
,
and
those
that
were
excluded
in
1648
,
in
order
to
some
composure
;
having
promised
to
stand
by
the
City
in
the
attainment
of
such
a
settlement
as
should
secure
the
Nation
.
These
conferences
coming
to
no
Issue
,
and
the
Rump
having
at
last
finished
their
Qualifications
,
so
rigid
and
unreasonable
,
that
no
good
or
fair
meaning
appeared
in
them
,
as
he
modestly
and
fairly
told
them
;
He
came
with
his
Army
into
Westminster
,
and
parts
adjacent
;
and
having
that
morning
convened
the
aforesaid
secluded
Members
at
White-hall
,
went
with
them
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
see
them
safely
sit
in
Parliament
;
who
presently
vacated
many
Orders
made
by
the
aforesaid
Remnant
in
1648
,
in
reference
to
the
Death
of
the
King
,
and
their
own
forcible
seclusion
;
Secluded
Members
restored
,
Feb.
21.
as
also
all
Votes
lately
made
by
them
,
touching
new
Members
to
be
elected
to
sit
and
serve
in
Parliament
:
also
all
Orders
referring
to
Sir
George
Booth's
business
,
and
all
Imprisonments
,
and
Sequestrations
thereupon
.
Next
,
they
constituted
the
General
,
Captain
and
Commander
in
chief
of
all
the
Forces
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
;
discharged
all
Prisoners
upon
the
account
of
a
Free
Parliament
,
and
suspended
the
Power
of
the
Council
of
State
,
till
they
had
erected
a
new
one
,
of
which
the
General
was
made
one
.
They
likewise
ordered
the
Gates
and
Portcullises
of
the
City
of
London
to
be
repaired
and
set
up
at
the
publick
charge
;
more
especially
,
care
was
taken
by
them
for
securing
the
Militia
into
honest
and
faithful
hands
,
both
in
London
and
the
respective
Counties
.
The
dispatch
of
the
aforesaid
Assessment
was
also
recommended
to
the
Commissioners
,
and
a
great
advance
of
money
lent
by
the
City
for
the
present
occasions
;
their
promptness
now
,
overmatching
the
Force
before
.
Sir
Charles
Coot
wonderfully
reduceth
Ireland
.
Sir
Charles
Coot
declares
for
a
Free-Parliament
,
by
the
re-admission
of
the
secluded
Members
,
and
thereupon
possessed
himself
of
Dublin-castle
,
(
having
first
of
all
surprized
Galloway
from
Colonel
Sadler
in
this
manner
:
He
invited
him
and
his
Officers
,
all
Anabaptists
,
to
his
house
over
the
water
,
to
be
merry
;
which
doing
,
Sir
Charles
pretended
a
desire
of
drinking
a
glass
of
Wine
in
Galloway
privately
with
Sadler
:
so
they
two
secretly
took
Boat
,
with
each
a
servant
;
and
being
on
the
other
shore
,
Sir
Charles
said
,
Colonel
Sadler
,
I
am
resolved
for
a
Free-Parliament
,
and
to
have
this
Garrison
:
you
have
a
Sword
about
you
;
draw
and
fight
,
or
else
engage
your
honour
will
make
no
disturbance
in
the
Town
upon
our
admission
,
and
my
Declaration
:
to
which
,
Sadler
amazed
and
troubled
,
answered
,
He
would
acquiesce
.
Whereupon
he
caused
the
Gate
to
be
opened
;
and
Sir
Charles
having
declared
himself
,
the
Souldiers
cried
out
,
A
Coot
,
a
Coot
,
and
a
Free-Parliament
:
Whereupon
,
nevertheless
,
he
secured
and
kept
him
prisoner
,
as
he
did
Sir
Hardr.
Waller
at
Dublin
aforesaid
:
and
immediately
all
Ireland
declared
themselves
satisfied
in
this
most
happy
Change
,
offering
their
lives
and
fortunes
in
the
maintenance
and
defence
of
the
Parliament
to
be
now
assembled
.
Rich
his
Regiment
mutiny
.
Some
Phanatick
Troops
of
Rich's
Horse
rendezvoused
at
Bury
in
Suffolk
,
where
they
began
to
mutiny
:
but
Colonel
Ingoldsby
and
Captain
Philip
Howard
(
Captain
of
the
Life-guard
)
being
sent
against
them
,
they
presently
were
quieted
,
and
received
their
old
Colonel
Ingoldsby
for
their
Commander
:
whereupon
a
Proclamation
issued
for
the
better
regulating
the
Army
,
and
keeping
it
in
obedience
;
requiring
all
Officers
and
Souldiers
immediately
to
depart
to
their
several
Quarters
,
and
not
remove
without
the
Generals
order
or
license
in
that
behalf
.
This
made
the
Army
sensible
of
that
duty
the
Parliament
expected
from
them
:
whereupon
they
,
(
one
Regiment
after
another
)
presented
their
Addresses
to
the
General
,
owning
and
congratulating
his
happy
management
of
the
Affairs
of
the
Kingdome
.
The
City
Feast
the
General
.
Nor
indeed
was
ever
any
man
so
deservedly
courted
:
but
especially
the
City
shewed
themselves
most
affectionate
admirers
of
those
great
Services
he
had
done
his
Country
;
most
of
the
Twelve
Companies
having
invited
him
successively
to
their
Halls
,
where
he
was
feasted
with
all
sumptuous
Magnificence
,
love
or
charge
could
show
and
afford
.
The
Parliament
had
no
less
resentments
of
his
glorious
undertakings
:
for
besides
the
Generalate
they
setled
upon
him
the
Stewardship
of
the
Mannor
of
Hampton-court
,
to
preserve
,
not
Usurp
and
possess
that
Royal
Mansion
.
Several
Prisoners
of
the
Phanatique-Party
,
nothing
being
charged
against
them
,
were
freed
by
the
General
,
who
was
now
also
constituted
one
of
the
Generals
at
Sea
;
Made
Gen.
at
Sea
with
Montague
.
and
Col.
Montague
now
Earl
of
Sandwich
the
other
.
The
Scotch
Lords
who
were
taken
Prisoners
at
Worcester
,
and
had
been
long
secured
in
Windsor-Castle
,
were
now
,
by
order
of
Parliament
released
;
that
Nation
under
Major
General
Morgan
quietly
awaiting
the
issue
of
the
Affairs
in
England
.
The
Presbyterian-party
were
now
very
busie
to
have
their
Profession
Established
by
Act
of
Parliament
;
Presbytery
tendring
an
Establishment
.
and
therefore
a
Confession
of
Faith
was
tendred
to
the
House
,
which
having
been
seven
times
read
,
was
passed
,
and
ordered
to
be
Printed
;
and
likewise
the
Solemn
League
and
Covenant
was
also
ordered
to
be
reprinted
,
and
read
in
all
Churches
once
in
every
year
,
and
to
be
set
up
in
the
Parliament-house
▪
but
it
soon
after
found
a
different
entertainment
.
The
Parliament
resolved
during
their
Session
,
which
should
continue
no
longer
than
the
end
of
March
,
to
proceed
only
with
matters
of
Religion
,
the
Militia
,
Qualifications
and
Writs
for
Elections
;
and
in
the
interim
,
endeavours
were
used
,
more
especially
at
Hull
by
Major
Gen.
Overton
,
to
debauch
part
of
the
Army
at
York
;
and
the
same
tricks
also
at
Chester
with
the
Irish
Brigades
,
but
were
Defeated
,
and
came
to
nothing
.
Therefore
Col.
Lambert
refusing
to
put
in
security
of
Twenty
thousand
pounds
,
was
now
at
last
Committed
to
the
Tower
,
to
prevent
any
future
danger
from
the
unsatisfied
part
of
the
Souldiery
.
About
this
time
died
Carolus
Gustavus
King
of
Sweden
.
The
Engagement
made
by
the
remnant
of
the
Parliament
,
The
Engagement
annulled
▪
Viz.
I
do
declare
and
promise
,
that
I
will
be
true
and
faithful
,
&c.
was
now
ordered
to
be
expunged
out
of
the
Journal-book
of
the
House
of
Commons
:
which
made
the
Phanaticks
begin
to
fear
their
unjust
Possessions
.
Hull
was
now
delivered
to
Col.
Fairfax
,
according
to
the
Generals
Order
.
The
Inscription
under
the
Statue
of
King
Charles
the
first
,
in
the
Exchange
London
,
Exit
Tyrannus
,
was
expunged
and
blotted
out
by
a
private
hand
.
According
to
,
Writs
for
a
Free-Parliament
.
the
Parliament
resolves
to
Dissolve
themselves
;
and
being
pressed
by
the
General
,
whose
well-governed
impatience
of
the
Kings
return
permitted
not
the
least
delay
in
that
dangerous
place
;
Writs
were
ordered
to
be
issued
out
for
the
Election
of
Members
in
the
ensuing
Parliament
,
in
the
name
of
The
Keepers
of
the
Liberty
of
England
,
The
Long-Parliament
Dissolved
,
Marc.
23.
by
Authority
of
Parliament
;
and
the
Bill
of
their
Dissolution
being
read
and
passed
,
leaving
a
power
in
the
Council
of
State
,
in
the
interval
of
Parliament
,
to
govern
the
Nations
,
they
broke
up
:
and
so
this
long-lasting
Parliament
,
which
hath
done
and
suffered
so
many
strange
things
,
came
with
fair
expectations
to
a
peaceable
conclusion
;
but
shall
never
want
the
Elegies
,
and
the
doleful
complaints
of
the
three
Kingdoms
.
The
Parliament
being
thus
Dissolved
,
Agitating
forbid
.
the
first
thing
the
Council
of
State
acted
,
was
the
emitting
of
a
Proclamation
,
forbidding
all
Persons
whatsoever
to
make
applications
to
any
of
the
Officers
and
Souldiers
in
the
Army
,
in
the
way
of
Agitating
;
declaring
that
pernitious
course
was
the
ruine
of
the
King
and
Kingdome
,
in
the
years
1647
,
and
48.
This
actuated
with
a
diligent
eye
upon
some
suspected
persons
,
and
securing
of
others
,
happily
retained
the
Army
in
their
duty
and
obedience
,
to
the
bringing
about
his
Majesties
Restitution
;
which
was
every
day
more
visible
.
The
Council
of
State
were
hammering
a
Proclamation
,
requiring
such
qualifications
as
were
intended
by
Parliament
for
the
Election
of
Members
to
be
strictly
observed
,
whereby
Cavaliers
were
to
be
excluded
;
but
there
were
enow
Royallists
besides
,
to
do
that
great
and
happy
work
,
which
was
soon
after
accomplisht
;
and
yet
in
the
mean
while
made
Addresses
to
the
King
,
some
Letters
passing
from
them
to
him
,
being
unhappily
delayed
by
the
death
of
Mr.
Annesley
,
Brother
to
the
now
Earl
of
Anglesey
,
who
was
drowned
as
he
was
taking
Boat
to
proceed
in
his
Voyage
for
the
delivery
of
them
to
the
King
.
Mr.
Barebone
and
Mr.
Scot
signed
an
Engagement
,
wherein
they
promised
to
live
peaceably
;
but
divers
others
of
that
Faction
,
for
agitating
,
and
other
misdemeanors
,
were
secured
,
and
committed
to
prison
:
the
Elections
in
the
interim
went
hopefully
on
,
and
the
Militia
was
every
where
well
established
.
A
Letter
was
sent
by
the
Council
to
the
Bassa
of
Algier
,
for
releasing
the
Lord
Inchequeen
and
his
Son
,
who
were
lately
taken
by
a
Turkish
Pirate
neer
the
Port
of
Lisbon
,
and
carried
to
Algier
.
Colonel
Massey
appeared
in
Gloucestershire
with
an
intention
to
stand
for
an
Election
there
:
Elections
for
the
Free-Parliament
.
he
was
ordered
to
appear
before
the
Council
;
which
he
did
,
and
was
afterwards
unanimously
chosen
one
of
the
Burgesses
for
that
City
;
as
Major-General
Brown
,
who
sate
with
the
secluded
Members
before
,
with
the
Recorder
Sir
William
Wilde
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Robinson
,
(
with
whom
the
General
constantly
conversed
in
the
suspence
of
his
declaring
himself
,
but
was
riddled
to
the
Royallists
by
the
Company
he
kept
)
were
Elected
for
London
:
both
these
eminent
Captains
were
very
active
and
instrumental
in
the
King's
Restauration
.
The
City
of
London
emitted
a
Declaration
,
wherein
they
clear
themselves
of
the
Guilt
of
the
King's
Death
,
and
the
Crimes
of
the
Usurpation
;
their
Counsels
being
under
a
force
of
a
desperate
Juncto
put
upon
them
:
and
as
a
signet
of
the
Revolution
ensuing
,
suffered
the
same
Tumults
to
the
Restitution
,
which
it
had
fomented
and
cherished
in
the
beginning
of
the
Wars
,
to
the
ruine
and
overthrow
of
the
Kingdoms
.
Anno
Dom.
1660.
WE
begin
this
mirabilis
Annus
,
the
wonderful
year
of
1660
,
(
which
by
the
old
Philosophical
Axiome
of
twenty
years
revolution
was
to
return
all
things
in
statu
quo
,
to
wit
,
the
same
condition
)
with
an
occurrence
of
no
seeming
tendencie
or
aspect
to
the
product
thereof
,
viz.
The
Proclamation
from
the
Council
of
State
,
against
Election
of
any
to
this
Parliament
that
had
served
his
Majesty
in
the
late
Wars
:
which
proceeded
from
the
unreconciled
Results
of
those
secluded
Members
,
who
yet
retained
some
grudge
of
their
first
Quarrel
,
and
would
fain
do
away
the
imputation
of
their
unjust
Arming
themselves
and
the
people
against
their
Soveraign
,
by
a
Vote
passed
this
last
sitting
,
wherein
they
again
declared
,
That
the
late
King
began
the
War
with
the
two
Houses
;
and
this
was
now
for
a
subsequent
confirmation
of
that
fallacious
Maxime
of
the
Rebellion
.
Mr.
Saint
Iohn
that
was
of
this
Council
of
State
,
St.
John
stickles
in
the
Council
of
State
for
Propositions
and
Terms
with
the
King
.
now
opened
and
discovered
himself
in
the
solution
of
his
former
actions
,
by
his
suspicions
and
fears
of
the
approaching
Revolution
.
He
stickled
first
for
the
Qualifications
which
the
Parliament
,
through
the
General
's
designed
importunity
,
had
left
unestablished
and
undetermined
;
and
that
being
thus
decreed
(
though
the
Gentry
found
means
to
Elude
this
Paper-scare-crow
)
foreseeing
the
necessity
and
absolute
combination
of
all
things
to
the
King's
Return
,
he
laboured
to
clog
that
also
with
limitations
and
conditions
;
but
to
less
purpose
than
he
had
straightned
this
Free
Convention
ensuing
,
which
was
very
unlike
to
prove
so
,
if
such
designes
had
taken
effect
.
For
to
the
Honour
and
everlasting
entire
Felicity
of
this
unparallelled
Rovolution
,
and
the
noble
General
's
Loyal
,
and
most
generous
,
and
obliging
Prudence
(
beyond
all
Parliamentory
Engagements
and
Terms
whatsoever
)
his
Majesties
Rights
and
undoubted
Prerogative
were
left
and
returned
to
him
most
free
and
inviolate
.
A
Convention
in
Ireland
.
A
Convention
was
held
in
Ireland
,
in
nature
of
a
Parliament
,
till
such
time
as
one
might
be
conveniently
and
rightly
called
,
for
to
provide
for
the
Peace
and
Safety
of
that
Kingdom
;
from
whence
the
L.
Shannon
,
Sir
Iohn
Clothworthy
,
and
Major
Aston
were
sent
as
Commissioners
to
the
Council
.
During
the
Election
of
Members
,
it
was
wonderful
to
see
the
general
chearfulness
that
possessed
the
minds
and
looks
of
all
men
,
and
the
no
less
stupid
consternation
of
the
Phanatick
party
(
which
term
they
likewise
obtained
,
from
a
Letter
of
the
General
's
from
Scotland
a
little
while
before
)
so
that
it
was
plainly
seen
,
God
had
disarmed
their
spirits
of
that
violence
that
had
so
●ong
possessed
them
,
even
to
their
personating
a
concurrent
Contentment
in
this
strange
mutation
of
affairs
.
Only
the
vexed
Rump
,
and
furious
Sir
Arthur
Hazelrig
,
were
most
outragiously
disturbed
,
by
finding
themselves
so
out-witted
,
and
to
have
made
all
this
stir
with
Lambert
,
for
no
other
purpose
but
to
undo
themselves
:
they
recollected
now
,
A
Letter
sent
to
the
Rump
by
the
King
.
what
Idiots
and
desperate
Fools
they
were
,
in
rejecting
a
Letter
from
the
King
,
which
was
presented
by
Henry
Nevil
,
as
casually
put
into
his
hand
(
and
their
Voting
of
it
not
to
be
read
or
opened
in
the
House
)
full
of
all
Princely
tenderness
to
their
monstrous
Crimes
and
Treasons
,
which
being
now
on
their
part
in
exorable
and
unexpiable
,
but
in
their
deserved
punishment
,
they
resolved
on
another
Essay
and
device
,
like
the
Foxes
tyed
by
the
Tayls
with
fire
at
them
,
to
offer
at
another
attempt
,
which
though
it
would
not
revenge
them
,
would
if
it
succeeded
indempnate
and
impunifie
them
.
For
while
all
things
thus
seemed
to
forward
and
further
his
Majesties
Return
into
these
Kingdoms
,
an
Address
being
signed
by
the
whole
Army
,
wherein
they
vehemently
testified
their
acquiescence
in
whatever
the
Counsels
of
the
ensuing
Parliament
should
produce
,
and
their
abhorrence
of
former
practices
by
intruding
into
the
Government
,
and
interposing
themselves
against
all
Reason
and
Duty
in
civil
Matters
;
Lambert
escapes
from
the
the
Tower
,
April
11.
Colonel
Lambert
(
as
the
last
dying
effort
of
those
monstrous
Violences
which
had
so
long
prevailed
against
the
bars
of
Law
and
Authority
)
broke
out
from
his
imprisonment
in
the
Tower
;
notice
whereof
being
given
,
a
Proclamation
was
sent
after
him
,
requiring
him
to
render
himself
within
24
hours
at
his
utmost
Peril
,
and
prohibiting
any
to
conceal
him
;
declaring
likewise
,
that
whosoever
should
take
him
should
have
100
l.
for
his
pains
.
This
Escape
was
thought
to
have
been
effected
by
the
connivence
or
permission
of
Colonel
Morley
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
:
whereupon
the
General
sent
four
Companies
of
Foot
,
under
Major
Nicholas
,
of
whose
faith
he
had
experience
,
to
command
there
;
and
presently
gave
order
for
Forces
to
march
,
in
order
to
the
reducing
and
re-taking
of
the
said
Colonel
Lambert
;
to
which
service
,
most
of
the
Gentry
and
Nobility
in
Town
presently
offered
themselves
,
as
also
in
the
Country
,
especially
in
Warwick-shire
under
the
Lords
Brook
,
Defeated
and
taken
,
Apr.
22.
and
Conway
,
where
the
first
intelligence
of
him
was
had
.
He
appeared
first
about
Tocester
,
with
a
small
company
of
Horse
;
from
thence
to
Naseby
,
where
Major
Creed
joyned
with
one
hundred
more
,
intending
for
Edge-hill
;
but
within
two
miles
of
Daventry
,
Colonel
Ingoldsby
met
him
augmented
to
four
Troops
,
and
some
Foot
,
making
neer
seven
hundred
;
(
but
if
he
had
stood
two
or
three
days
,
would
have
encreased
to
a
formidable
power
,
the
Phanaticks
of
the
Army
marching
from
all
parts
of
the
Kingdom
to
this
Rendezvouze
)
one
whereof
was
Captain
Haselrig's
,
who
being
surprized
by
Ingoldsby's
Forlorn
,
promised
upon
his
Liberty
to
bring
over
his
Troop
;
which
accordingly
was
done
.
Upon
this
,
Lambert
desired
a
Parley
,
Lambert
proposeth
the
restoring
of
Rich.
Protector
.
thinking
so
to
work
upon
the
Souldiery
;
and
there
offered
as
a
security
to
all
Interests
,
the
re-admission
of
Richard
to
be
Protector
:
this
being
waived
as
a
stale
device
,
and
Lambert
seeing
Colonel
Ingoldsby
ready
to
fall
on
,
Lambert
dismayed
and
taken
,
Apr.
22.
and
that
another
Troop
was
revolted
from
him
,
he
presently
betook
himself
to
flight
,
losing
there
the
name
of
that
Valour
(
especially
among
his
enraged
Phanaticks
)
which
he
had
purchased
throughout
the
War
;
crying
out
twice
,
Pray
my
Lord
let
me
escape
;
what
good
will
my
life
or
perpetual
imprisonment
do
you
?
(
he
divined
well
)
which
,
though
mounted
on
a
Barb
,
being
on
Plow-lands
,
he
could
not
effect
,
but
was
taken
by
Colonel
Ingoldsby's
own
hands
:
Creed
,
Axtel
,
and
Cobbet
escaped
,
though
pursued
some
miles
.
Being
thus
secured
,
he
was
sent
up
in
a
Coach
to
the
Tower
,
and
came
by
Hide-park
on
Tuesday
,
April
the
24
,
the
day
before
the
opening
of
the
Parliament
,
when
the
City-forces
,
exceeding
for
gallantry
and
number
all
former
shows
,
Mustred
there
before
the
General
,
and
the
Council
of
State
:
the
field
resounding
with
the
cry
of
King
Charles
the
second
.
A
Free-Parliament
.
Now
at
last
,
our
Right
and
desires
,
so
long
contended
for
,
prevailed
:
for
,
April
the
25.
the
Free-Parliament
sate
down
in
two
Houses
;
they
met
first
at
Saint
Margare●s
Church
,
April
22.
Westminster
,
where
Doctor
Reynolds
Preached
before
them
.
The
Lords
chose
the
Earl
of
Manchester
for
their
Speaker
;
and
the
House
of
Commons
Sir
Harbottle
Grimston
:
Mr.
Brown
Clerk
to
the
former
;
Mr.
Iessop
to
the
latter
.
I
may
not
omit
,
that
the
Lord
General
was
chosen
Knight
of
his
own
County
of
Devon
,
and
also
by
the
University
of
Cambridge
;
and
not
above
four
Rumpers
were
returned
.
Scot
made
a
bustle
for
his
new
Election
at
Wickham
,
against
Major-Gen
.
Brown's
Eldest
Son
,
but
stood
not
to
it
;
for
he
fled
to
Bruxels
,
where
he
was
known
,
though
he
relyed
on
the
Protection
of
the
Spanish-Ambassador
here
formerly
;
and
was
taken
,
and
sent
hither
back
again
not
long
after
.
The
first
thing
of
note
done
by
the
Parliament
,
was
an
appointment
of
a
Thanksgiving-day
to
God
,
for
raising
up
his
Excellency
,
and
other
eminent
persons
,
and
making
them
instrumental
in
delivering
the
Kingdome
from
Thraldom
and
Misery
;
and
ordered
,
that
the
said
General
should
have
the
acknowledgment
and
hearty
thanks
of
the
Parliament
,
for
the
eminent
and
unparallel'd
Services
done
these
Nations
,
in
freeing
them
from
Slavery
;
which
was
accordingly
performed
:
Thanks
also
were
given
afterwards
to
Col.
Ingoldsby
,
for
his
retaking
of
Lambert
.
Several
persons
,
Officers
of
the
Army
,
and
other
ill-affected
people
,
were
apprehended
,
and
secured
in
several
places
,
for
the
strengthning
and
establishing
the
peace
and
happiness
of
the
Kingdom
,
so
forwardly
and
so
happily
begun
and
advanced
;
for
now
at
last
we
were
arrived
at
the
brink
,
and
to
the
prospect
of
our
ancient
Government
,
and
to
the
hopeful
confirmation
of
our
Peace
,
after
which
we
had
so
long
laboured
in
vain
;
and
here
our
Troubles
cease
,
to
whom
in
this
alluding
rapture
we
bid
farewel

A
CHRONICLE
OF
THE
CIVIL
WARS
OF
ENGLAND
,
SCOTLAND
,
and
IRELAND
.
THE
FOURTH
PART
:
BEING
The
Restitution
.
THE
suspence
and
stilness
which
ensued
so
many
tempestuous
Agitations
,
was
so
far
from
becalming
the
Passions
of
Men
,
and
entertaining
the
Nation
in
the
present
felicity
and
acquiscence
of
things
,
as
is
usual
in
the
complacency
of
such
unexpected
and
impatienced
blessings
,
that
it
transported
them
at
the
same
instant
to
more
vigorous
and
active
Resolutions
in
pursuance
of
that
happy
Auspicium
which
so
faitly
directed
to
a
plenary
and
compleat
Establishment
.
It
was
enviously
fresh
in
the
minds
of
all
Loyal
and
good
men
,
with
what
scorn
and
contemptuous
derision
,
the
Enemies
of
the
Kingdoms
peace
,
and
the
brood
of
the
Usurpation
,
had
mocked
at
this
Revolution
,
as
a
most
ridiculous
and
impossible
thing
:
withal
,
it
ocurred
,
how
insolently
they
had
upbraided
,
and
how
impiously
charactered
all
former
endeavours
that
way
;
which
the
Wisdom
of
God
(
whose
own
time
is
best
)
was
pleased
to
disappoint
,
(
although
he
thereby
made
the
folly
of
those
wretches
the
more
desperately
hardened
,
and
the
more
calamitous
)
and
to
appear
at
last
himself
,
beyond
their
contradiction
,
and
the
bold
Sophistry
of
those
Gainsayers
.
The
same
divine
Wisdom
had
taught
the
afflicted
to
humble
themselves
,
and
to
rely
more
immediately
upon
his
Justice
,
than
that
of
their
Cause
;
and
to
wait
his
retribution
,
whose
Nature
and
Essence
it
is
to
vindicate
Right
,
and
deliver
the
injured
and
oppressed
:
and
therefore
now
was
the
acceptable
time
,
by
this
prepared
reception
of
the
Mercie
,
wherein
the
sole
Glory
of
the
Miracle
was
visibly
ascribable
to
himself
;
as
to
himself
it
mainly
and
chiefly
belonged
,
to
rescue
his
own
Honour
&
Veracity
from
the
impudent
Blasphemies
of
wicked
men
.
The
Triumphs
of
Atheists
had
almost
prevailed
unto
Victory
,
and
braved
Heaven
with
their
success
,
as
if
it
were
unconcerned
below
,
and
those
Affairs
were
only
at
their
disposal
,
which
through
so
many
shifts
and
variations
had
still
reverted
into
the
first
hand
,
and
seemed
in
meer
fondness
and
play
to
have
but
hided
from
them
:
but
they
were
now
to
be
convinced
,
that
the
Power
they
had
seized
and
wrested
,
could
never
be
aliened
from
the
Crown
of
England
,
to
whose
Restitution
so
many
Enforcements
,
both
Divine
and
Humane
,
were
obliged
to
concur
,
in
this
most
happy
and
present
Juncture
of
the
Almighty's
own
appointment
.
Indeed
the
former
Disappointments
,
Defeats
,
and
Disasters
,
which
by
irresistible
Force
and
undiscoverable
Treachery
had
hitherto
all
along
exercised
the
Heroical
patience
of
our
Soveraign
,
had
most
severely
afflicted
the
Loyalty
of
many
of
his
Subjects
in
their
Lives
and
Estates
,
and
seemed
to
threaten
the
Constancie
of
the
rest
with
the
like
Fate
(
the
power
circulating
,
like
an
ill
winde
,
into
the
same
corner
whence
our
Tempest
first
arose
,
which
by
vulgar
conjecture
portended
its
boysterous
duration
there
,
)
had
so
far
indisposed
the
minds
of
men
to
desire
or
hope
for
any
thing
but
a
lingring
death
of
the
English
Honour
,
Freedom
and
Laws
,
that
it
was
a
preceding
Miracle
to
their
Restauration
,
that
there
was
vertue
enough
left
among
our selves
,
to
resume
and
re-engage
in
that
calamitous
and
destructive
Enterprise
,
or
that
any
should
be
of
that
unshaken
and
noble
confidence
as
to
put
himself
upon
those
Rocks
by
which
so
many
had
already
perished
.
The
Restitution
of
the
King
and
Kingdom
.
But
(
as
in
the
Jewish
servitude
and
slavery
to
the
Philistins
,
and
at
the
expiration
of
their
Babylonish
Captivity
,
God
raised
up
men
to
be
his
great
and
glorious
Instruments
,
in
bringing
about
those
his
gracious
purposes
)
so
did
he
inspire
and
animate
some
eminent
persons
of
this
Nation
,
now
his
displeasure
was
almost
ceased
,
with
Courage
and
Conduct
suitable
to
the
Atchievement
of
our
Redemption
.
Indeed
it
may
be
said
,
that
he
caused
the
whole
Chain
and
Series
of
his
Providence
to
conspire
and
combine
against
this
arrogant
and
most
Rebellious
Usurpation
;
who
forgetting
that
they
were
the
Scourge
in
Gods
hands
to
chastise
us
,
would
have
his
Omnipotence
the
Sword
in
theirs
to
consume
us
;
as
they
had
all
along
intituled
him
to
their
actions
and
successes
.
To
this
purpose
did
he
so
often
remove
and
change
their
Modules
of
Government
,
and
some
of
those
Leaders
and
Rulers
themselves
,
never
suffering
them
to
come
to
any
consistency
;
but
in
the
fairest
hopes
of
it
,
like
the
Apples
of
Sodom
,
caused
it
to
moulder
and
perish
:
By
this
means
at
last
exasperating
and
clashing
them
one
against
the
other
,
while
with
impatience
and
mutual
hate
,
they
pursued
their
Prey
,
the
Estates
of
King
and
Kingdom
;
which
the
one
having
seized
,
the
other
never
left
snarling
and
baying
at
his
fellow
,
while
the
Owner
came
in
and
recovered
his
right
from
them
both
.
Nor
were
their
Divisions
much
more
favourable
to
this
happy
Juncture
,
than
was
the
Reconciliation
and
firm
Accord
made
between
the
two
Crowns
of
France
and
Spain
,
at
the
same
time
prop●tious
and
promising
.
The
Kings
Affairs
,
as
was
touched
before
,
being
taken
into
the
concern
of
the
General
Peace
,
and
this
the
quarrelling
Grandees
here
very
well
knew
;
but
their
fewds
were
so
far
advanced
,
and
the
blows
of
their
Ruine
fell
so
thick
one
upon
the
neck
of
another
,
that
they
durst
not
take
off
their
eye
to
bestow
a
glance
,
to
the
foreseeing
the
consequences
of
that
auspicious
Intrigue
.
However
,
it
pleased
the
Divine
Wisdom
to
free
us
at
once
from
the
kindness
and
danger
of
Forreign
assistance
,
and
to
put
this
his
great
Work
into
the
hands
of
true
English
men
,
who
alone
did
operate
in
this
wonderful
change
;
that
it
might
not
be
imputed
to
us
the
most
famous
Islanders
in
the
World
,
The
renowned
General
,
the
happy
instrument
of
the
Restitution
.
that
we
stood
in
need
of
any
thing
from
abroad
;
and
ordered
it
so
by
the
management
of
such
an
English
man
,
the
great
Captain
,
the
for-ever-renowned
Monck
that
the
beginners
of
our
Troubles
might
see
and
be
confounded
,
that
as
they
raised
Arms
against
their
Soveraign
,
by
the
Popularity
and
Fame
of
their
first
General
;
so
their
last
(
but
far
more
dear
&
beloved
than
be
in
the
heighth
of
the
peoples
Lovesick
madness
)
should
turn
them
against
their
own
selves
,
and
effect
that
judgment
and
vengeance
which
had
been
acted
,
and
thought
accomplished
by
Cromwel
;
and
was
in
the
like
intentions
of
Lambert
.
A
Fate
they
always
feared
from
so
many
Experiences
,
yet
was
it
not
in
their
power
to
avoid
,
for
so
was
their
final
overthrow
most
justly
decreed
.
The
Noble
Duke
of
Ormond
,
The
Duke
of
Ormond

next

who
was
likewise
another
principally
concerned
in
this
blessed
Affair
,
cannot
be
denied
to
be
an
English
man
;
however
originally
descended
of
a
most
honourable
Irish
Family

of

The
King
the
great
Agent
.
Nor
was
the
superior
Orb
or
Primum
mobile
of
this
great
Affair
at
rest
;
the
King
contributed
as
much
as
any
person
to
his
Return
to
his
people
,
by
his
extraordinary
diligence
and
wisdom
,
which
improved
all
advantages
and
opportunities
to
the
accomplishing
of
it
.
He
courted
the
very
worst
of
his
Enemies
,
in
the
worst
of
their
condition
,
to
be
good
,
and
be
tender
of
themselves
;
and
to
prevent
his
justice
by
his
Clemency
and
super-added
Munificence
,
even
when
he
was
as
good
as
sure
to
effect
his
Restitution
by
insuperable
means
,
and
unconquerable
hands
.
To
the
best
and
Loyalist
of
his
Subjects
,
he
spared
no
promises
nor
encouragements
:
and
though
the
great
unalterable
constancy
of
his
life
and
word
was
as
firm
and
valid
Caution
as
could
be
of
any
thing
under
the
Sun
,
yet
did
He
strengthen
them
with
most
obliging
,
and
kindest
assurances
.
Nor
did
he
omit
any
just
ways
or
means
from
abroad
,
letting
his
Subjects
see
that
he
had
a
hand
ready
to
strike
and
inflict
the
punishment
of
the
Rebellion
,
if
they
delayed
his
imbraces
.
In
fine
,
it
was
an
Affair
,
in
which
all
the
faculties
and
passions
of
the
Soul
,
(
Love
,
Fear
,
Hope
,
and
Joy
)
were
tempered
together
to
a
MIRACLE
,
by
his
skilful
hand
,
and
art
of
Government
;
and
wherein
Reason
and
Necessity
jumpt
together
,
and
to
which
the
whole
frame
of
Policie
officiously
humbled
and
submitted
it self
,
at
this
his
Majesties
most
absolute
and
uncontroulable
disposal
of
his
Empire
.

All
the

And
Nature
as
thy
right
and
choice
doth
leave
:

reign

But
besides
those
of
the
first
Magnitude
,
All
the
Loyal
Nobility
and
Gentry
,
there
were
Illustrious
persons
,
and
others
that
rendred
themselves
conspicuous
by
their
conjunction
in
this
Revolution
:
such
were
the
Lord
Chancellour
,
the
Earls
of
Southampton
,
Oxford
,
Bristol
,
S.
Albans
,
&
the
two
Secretaries
of
State
,
the
old
Earl
of
Norwich
Ld.
Goring
(
a
person
whose
memory
is
highly
ennobled
by
such
grand
Events
and
Occurrences
of
State
,
as
the
Spanish
Peace
with
the
Low
Countries
,
which
owes
it self
to
his
Transaction
and
Accommodation
)
the
Earl
of
Manchester
,
the
noble
Earl
of
Sandwich
,
whose
hand
was
engaged
with
his
head
,
and
was
the
excellent
General
's
second
in
this
Affair
;
the
faithful
and
couragious
Lord
Ashly
Cooper
,
who
intrepidly
engaged
himself
among
the
Usurpers
,
and
dreaded
not
their
spies
and
quicksighted
sagacious
discovery
of
designes
and
intelligence
against
them
,
which
he
constantly
managed
;
the
Lord
Annesly
,
now
Earl
of
Anglesey
;
Lord
Hollis
;
Lord
Booth
of
Delamere
,
who
broke
the
Ice
,
and
endangered
his
Life
and
Fortunes
in
the
Attempt
,
but
was
bravely
rescued
by
his
Reserve
,
the
General
,
who
came
time
enough
to
preserve
him
:
And
of
some
formerly
engaged
against
it
.
not
to
omit
the
Dii
minores
,
persons
of
lesser
Rank
,
but
Eminent
in
their
Qualities
;
Sir
Samuel
Moreland
,
Thurlo's
Secretary
,
and
Cromwel's
Resident
in
Savoy
,
where
he
was
set
as
Intelligencer
,
which
he
proved
most
punctually
to
his
Majesty
,
and
countermined
all
the
designes
of
his
Masters
;
and
by
which
means
the
King
came
to
have
intelligence
of
those
disloyal
,
treacherous
,
and
ingrate
persons
formerly
of
his
side
,
whom
we
have
mentioned
:
(
He
came
to
the
King
at
Breda
,
where
his
Majesty
Knighted
him
,
and
made
him
a
Baronet
,
and
gave
him
this
Testimony
,
That
he
had
done
him
very
signal
Services
for
some
years
last
passed
.
)
Neither
was
Sir
George
Downing
unserviceable
to
the
same
designe
,
in
his
station
,
in
Holland
,
as
his
Majesty's
Respects
to
him
at
his
coming
to
the
Hague
(
with
recommendation
from
the
General
)
did
sufficiently
declare
.
To
conclude
,
the
whole
Mass
of
the
people
had
a
hand
(
at
the
least
)
in
it
,
conspiring
the
same
purposes
in
their
wishes
and
affections
;
with
the
effect
whereof
,
in
a
compendious
Narrative
,
(
for
the
Subject
grows
upon
me
to
a
bulk
)
I
am
next
to
indulge
and
pleasure
the
Reader
.
The
King
was
yet
at
Brussels
,
in
a
setled
quiet
expectation
of
the
sitting
down
of
the
Parliament
;
the
results
of
whose
Counsels
were
not
thought
so
quick
by
the
deliberating
and
slow
Spaniard
,
(
who
had
allowed
the
King
yearly
the
sum
of
9000
l.
besides
the
pay
of
his
Forces
which
his
Majesty
kept
there
;
which
money
was
since
repayed
by
the
King
,
soon
after
his
return
)
and
therefore
,
upon
the
King's
departure
from
Breda
,
The
King
departs
to
Breda
,
from
Brussels
;
Complemented
upon
his
departure
.
(
upon
assurance
that
the
Parliament
would
not
fail
of
sitting
down
at
the
appointed
time
)
he
having
traversed
to
and
fro
,
back
and
again
to
Antwerp
,
the
civil
Governour
of
these
Countries
gave
the
King
his
Complement
of
departure
,
and
honourably
conveyed
him
on
his
way
to
the
City
of
Antwerp
,
the
Road
to
Breda
aforesaid
;
when
it
was
feared
by
very
many
,
that
the
slye
Spaniard
would
have
put
some
demur
or
stay
upon
him
,
in
his
Dominions
:
He
afterwards
indeed
sent
a
Complement
to
him
,
by
an
Envoy
well
attended
,
intreating
him
to
return
that
way
,
and
to
take
shipping
at
one
of
the
Ports
of
Flanders
,
for
England
;
and
acquainted
him
,
that
for
his
greater
honour
and
satisfaction
,
he
should
see
his
Souldiers
payed
as
he
passed
:
but
the
King
civilly
refused
that
kind
proffer
.
The
King
was
no
sooner
come
to
Breda
,
the
Town
and
Castle
whereof
belonged
to
his
Nephew
the
Prince
of
Aurange
,
Dispatches
the
L.
Mordaunt
and
Sir
John
Greenvil
from
Breda
.
but
having
notice
the
Parliament
was
ready
to
sit
,
he
dispatcht
away
his
Letters
by
Mr.
(
now
made
Lord
Viscount
)
Mordant
,
(
the

Goring
having
been

of

and

)
and

Iohn
Greenvil
,

of
Bath
,
with
his
Letters

the
Parliament
in
both
Houses
respectively
;

the
Lord-General

speedily
made

,
and
the
Town
in
a
kind
of
extasie
for
two
days
together
,
the
Press
never
ceasing
to
print
them
,
His
Majesty's
Letter
:
and
Declaration
was
brought
.
and
all
persons
having
no
other
thing
to
do
but
to
read
them
;

with

will
confirm
upon
the
word
of
a

.
And
as
to
tender
Consciences
,
none
shall
be
called
in

of

Received
most
ho●ourably
by
the
Parliament
This
gracious
Message
,
with
the
Letter
to
his
Excellencie
,
and
the
Declaration
,
were
read
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
with
most
extraordinary
Ceremony
and
Reverence
,
as
if
some
strange
awe
had
seized
upon
the
minds
of
the
Parliament
;
every
man
at
the
Speakers
naming
of
the
King
rising
up
and
uncovering
himself
,
desiring
the
Letters
might
be
forthwith
read
;
the
like
also
was
done
in
the
House
of
Lords
:
In
the
House
of
Commons
,
remarkable
was
that
of
Mr.
Luke
Robinson
,
who
being
a
great
Commonwealths-man
,
first
of
all
spoke
to
the
Letters
,
and
acknowledged
his
conviction
.
Nor
was
this
Declaration
less
acceptable
to
all
the
people
,
who
were
overjoyed
with
the
news
,
and
the
infallible
hopes
of
having
their
gracious
Prince
and
Soveraign
restored
to
them
in
Peace
and
Honour
.
The
Parliament
resolved
,
Parliament
resolves
thereupon
.
That

do
own
and
declare
,
that
according
to
the
Ancient
and
Fundamental

of
this
Kingdom
,
the
Government
is
,
and
ought
to
be
,
by
King
,
Lords
,
and
Commons
.
And
having
a
deep
sense
of
the
Miseries
and
Distractions
in
which
this
Kingdom
hath
been
involved
since
the
violent
attempts
to
dissolve
the
Established
Government
;
the
best
way
to
make
up
those
breaches
,
is
by
all
means
to
obtain
the
Restoration
of
the
King
to
his
people
;
and
that
in
order
thereunto
,
a
Letter
from
both
Houses
,
(
drawn
up
by

)

of
the
House
to

;
and
a
badge
of
Honour
,
which
they
thought
fit
to
place
upon
him
:

which
was
with
great
solemnity
&
punctuality
performed
.
Moreover
,
to
testifie
their
hearty

,
they
ordered

.
Nor
were
the
Souldiery
wanting
to
this
concourse
and
stream
of
general
Affection
and
Loyalty
to
his
Majesty
;
for
upon
communication
of
his
Majesty's
Letters
and
Declaration
,
they
quickly
drew
up
an
Address
to
the
General
,
wherein
they
shewed
their
willing
and
ready
submission
,
as
formerly
in
all
Transactions
to
him
their
General
,
so
in
this
their
perfect
Duty
to
the
King
:
To
whom
they
doubted
not
to
evince
,
that
his
Excellencie
,
and
the
Army
under
his
Command
,
and
those
engaged
in
the

Cause

of

the

Colonel

,
did

.
A

and
Sir
William
Wilde
for
the
City
.
Those
that
were
there
at
their
Audience
,
agreed
in
Opinion
,
that
never
person
spoke
with
more
affection
,
or
in
better
terms
,
than
Master
Hollis
.
He
insisted
chiefly
upon
the
Miseries
the
Kingdoms
had
groaned
under
by
the
tyranny
of
the
pretended
Parliament
and
Cromwel
;
which
should
now
be
exchanged
into
their
repose
,
quiet
,
and
lawful
liberty
:
beseeching
his
Majesty
in
the
name
of
his
people
to
return
and
resume
the
Scepter
,
&c.
and
assured
him
he
should
be
infinitely
welcome
without
any
terms
:
a
thing
so
much
stomacked
by
the
Phanaticks
;
but
most
just
and
honourable
.
After
several
Treatments
given
the
King
by
the
Dutch
,
which
he
shortned
as
much
as
he
could
,
The
King
prepares
to
d●part
.
and
other
Complements
by
Forraign
Ministers
,
to
whom
he
gave
publick
Audience
,
the
Portugal
only
excepted
,
and
Spaniard
;
having
notice
of
the
Fleets
arrival
,
which
consisted
of
near
Forty
Sail
of
great
Men
of
War
,
he
prepared
to
depart
:
At
this
time
came
also
to
his
hands
the
Proclamation
made
in
London
,
as
a
little
before
returned
Sir
Iohn
Greenvil
with
the
happy
news
of
his
peoples
love
and
entire
affection
.
The
Proclamation
followeth
,
being
very
fit
to
be
recorded
;
that
which
we
mentioned
in
the
second
Part
,
being
but
an
earnest
of
this
.
ALthough
it
can
no
way
be
doubted
,
King
Charles
the
Second
Solemnly
Proclaimed
.
but
that
his
Maiesties
Right
and
Title
to
these
Crowns
and
Kingdoms
,
is
and
was
every
way
compleat
by
the
Death
of
his
most
Royal
Father
of
Glorious
Memory
,
without
the
Ceremony
or
Solemnity
of
a
Proclamation
:
Yet
since
Proclamations
in
such
cases
have
been
always
used
,
to
the
end
that
all
good
Subjects
might
upon
this
occasion
testifie
their
Duty
and
Respect
.
And
since
the
Armed
Uiolence
,
and
other
the
Calamities
of
many
years
last
past
,
have
hitherto
deprived
us
of
any
opportunity
,
wherein
we
might
express
our
Loyalty
and
Allegiance
to
his
Majesty
:
We
therefore
,
the
Lords
and
Commons
now
assembled
in
Parliament
,
together
with
the
Lord
Mayor
,
Aldermen
,
and
Common-Council
of
the
City
of
London
,
and
other
Free-men
of
this
Kingdom
now
present
,
do
according
to
our
Duty
and
Allegiance
,
heartily
,
joyfully
,
and
unanimously
,
Acknowledge
and
Proclaim
,
That
immediately
upon
the
decease
of
our
late
Soveraign
King
CHARLES
the
First
,
the
Imperial
Crown
of
the
Realm
of
England
,
and
of
all
the
Kingdoms
,
Dominions
,
and
Rights
belonging
to
the
same
,
did
by
Inherent
Birthright
,
and
lawful
undoubted
Succession
,
descend
,
and
come
to
his
Most
Excellent
Majesty
King
CHARLES
the
Second
,
as
being
lineally
,
justly
,
and
lawfully
next
Heir
of
the
Blood
Royal
of
this
Realm
;
and
that
by
the
goodness
and
providence
of
Almighty
God
,
He
is
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
the
most
Potent
,
Mighty
,
and
Undoubted
King
.
And
thereunto
We
most
humbly
,
and
faithfully
do
submit
,
and
oblige
our Selves
,
our
Heirs
,
and
Posterities
for
ever
.
This
was
Solemnized
with
the
greatest
Magnificence
and
joy
possible
,
the
Lords
and
Commons
,
and
Lord
Mayor
attending
it
:
the
shouts
and
acclamations
at
the
reading
of
it
in
Cheap-side
were
so
loud
and
great
,
that
Bow-bells
,
or
any
other
Bells
in
the
Town
(
though
all
then
Ringing
)
could
not
be
heard
.
All
was
concluded
with
unspeakable
mirth
,
and
numerous
Bonefires
at
night
,
which
yielded
not
their
flames
but
to
the
rising
Sun
.
I
shall
not
intrude
other
matters
at
home
into
this
grand
Affair
;
but
reserve
them
until
●hereafter
,
and
proceed
.
The
Dutch
also
(
as
knowing
it
would
please
the
King
)
enlarged
their
Civilities
and
respects
to
the
Commissioners
of
the
Parliament
and
City
;
who
received
them
from
their
Deputies
with
much
satisfaction
:
likewise
,
several
Provisions
were
sent
aboard
the
Fleet
,
and
the
General
:
He
also
complemented
with
the
Kings
Restitution
.
The
Dutch
magnificent
Treatment
of
the
King
.
For
a
Conclusion
of
those
great
Magnificences
with
which
they
had
entertained
his
Majesty
a
Fortnight
,
they
resolved
to
give
him
a
Farewel-Treatment
,
with
all
the
sumptuousness
expressible
;
which
they
performed
;
and
in
the
end
,
presented
him
with
the
richest
Bed
and
Furniture
,
with
Tapestry
for
Hangings
,
imbossed
with
Gold
and
Silver
,
and
adorned
with
Pictures
,
as
could
be
had
:
the
Bed
was
made
at
Paris
for
the
Princess
of
Orange
;
but
her
Husband
dying
Eight
days
before
she
was
delivered
,
it
was
never
used
.
A
little
before
this
time
,
Sir
Samuel
Moreland
,
Sir
Samuel
Moreland
,
and
Thurloe's
Agent
for
Oliver
at
the
Court
of
Savoy
,
came
to
the
King
,
where
he
was
kindly
received
,
(
having
done
the
King
several
good
Offices
)
and
discovered
the
intrigues
of
Oliver
and
the
Rump
,
and
was
Knighted
;
he
revealed
also
several
eminent
Royalists
,
as
Sir
Richard
Willis
,
Colonel
Bamfield
,
and
others
,
who
betrayed
the
King's
Affairs
and
Friends
to
Oliver
.
Hither
also
about
the
same
time
came
Sir
George
Downing
,
Sir
George
Downing
.
who
was
also
graciously
received
,
who
had
done
the
like
good
services
for
his
Majesty
,
and
was
likewise
Knighted
,
and
continued
his
Majesties
Resident
with
the
States
.
On
Sunday
the
20
th
of
May
,
Duke
of
York
aboard
the
Fleet.
the
King
heard
Doctor
Hardy
(
after
Dean
of
Rochester
)
Preach
before
him
:
the
place
intended
was
the
French-Church
,
after
their
Sermon
;
but
they
knowing
of
it
,
being
greedy
to
see
the
King
,
would
not
come
out
of
their
Seats
;
so
that
it
was
done
in
the
Princesses
Lodgings
.
Here
the
King
touched
many
of
the
Evil.
In
the
mean
while
,
the
Duke
of
York
took
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
of
the
Fleet
,
having
gone
aboard
the
Naseby
,
where
the
General
treated
him
;
which
Ship
,
at
his
departure
,
when
the
shore
resounded
with
the
Artillery
,
he
called
the
Charles
:
as
afterwards
the
whole
Fleet
was
new
Christened
in
their
way
homewards
.
The
King
having
thanked
the
States
General
and
of
Holland
in
their
Publick
Assemblies
,
whither
he
went
on
foot
,
took
his
leave
of
them
;
recommending
to
them
the
interest
of
his
Sister
,
and
Nephew
the
Prince
of
Orange
;
and
was
re-saluted
by
them
upon
the
same
,
as
also
by
the
several
Ministers
of
the
several
Princes
,
one
whereof
,
the
Count
of
Oldenham
,
sent
an
Embassador
with
Credentials
to
the
King
just
before
his
departure
,
being
the
sole
Minister
so
qualified
while
his
Majesty
staid
at
the
Hague
.
On
Wednesday
the
22
of
May
,
Stilo
veteri
,
the
King
departed
;
The
King
departs
for
England
.
and
it
may
be
said
,
there
was
no
night
between
Tuesday
and
that
;
particularly
for
those
who
found
no
place
to
put
their
heads
in
,
the
houses
not
being
able
to
lodge
the
croud
of
people
that
ran
there
from
all
the
neighbouring
Towns
,
the
most
part
whereof
were
constrained
to
walk
the
streets
,
though
the
wiser
sort
took
up
their
Quarters
for
their
advantage
of
seeing
the
King's
departure
on
Downs
and
Sand-hills
which
bordered
all
along
the
Sea-coast
,
where
they
might
see
the
Fleet
and
the
King
Embarquing
;
so
that
it
is
a
question
,
whether
the
Hollander
more
wondered
,
or
we
more
joyed
.
The
Speech
spoken
by
the
States
of
Holland
,
at
his
Farewel
,
for
the
notableness
thereof
,
is
here
inserted
.
IF
one
may
judge
of
the
content
which
we
have
to
see
your
Majesty
depart
from
our
Province
,
The
Speech
of
the
States
thereupon
.
by
the
satisfaction
we
had
to
possess
you
,
we
shall
have
no
great
trouble
to
make
it
known
to
you
.
Your
Majesty
might
have
observed
in
the
Countenance
of
all
our
people
,
the
joy
they
had
in
their
hearts
,
to
see
a
Prince
cherished
of
God
,
a
Prince
wholly
miraculous
,
and
a
Prince
that
is
probably
to
make
a
part
of
their
Quietness
and
Felicity
.
Your
Majesty
shall
see
presently
all
the
streets
filled
,
all
the
ways
covered
,
and
all
the
hills
loaden
with
people
which
will
follow
you
even
to
the
place
of
your
Embarquement
,
and
would
not
leave
you
,
if
they
had
wherewith
to
pass
them
to
your
Kingdom
.
Our
joy
is
common
unto
us
with
that
of
our
Subjects
:
but
as
we
know
better
than
they
the
inestimable
value
of
the
Treasure
we
possess
,
so
are
we
more
sensible
of
this
sad
separation
.
It
would
be
insupportable
to
us
,
Sir
,
if
we
re-entred
not
into
our selves
,
&
considered
not
that
it
is
the
thing
of
the
world
we
most
desired
,
and
the
greatest
advantage
also
that
we
could
wish
to
your
Majesty
.
We
acquiesce
therein
,
because
we
know
that
this
removal
is
no
less
necessary
for
us
,
than
glorious
to
your
Majesty
;
and
that
't
is
in
your
Kingdom
that
we
must
finde
the
accomplishment
of
the
prayers
we
have
made
,
and
make
still
for
you
and
us
:
so
shall
we
not
fail
to
profit
thence
,
as
well
as
from
the
assurances
which
it
hath
pleased
you
to
give
us
of
an
immutable
affection
towards
this
Republick
.
We
render
most
humble
thanks
unto
your
Majesty
for
them
,
and
particularly
for
the
illustrious
proof
which
it
hath
pleased
you
to
give
us
thereof
,
by
the
glorious
Visit
wherewith
you
honoured
our
Assembly
.
We
shall
conserve
the
memory
of
it
most
dearly
,
and
make
the
marks
of
that
goodness
to
pass
to
our
last
Posterity
,
to
the
end
they
may
acknowledge
it
with
the
same
respect
with
which
we
have
received
it
.
The
appointment
wherein
we
see
your
Majesty
ready
to
take
horse
for
the
pursuit
of
your
Iourney
,
forbids
us
to
enlarge
our selves
upon
a
Subject
which
would
never
weary
us
,
if
we
had
words
conformable
to
our
respectful
sentiments
.
But
we
have
no
minde
to
encrease
the
just
impatience
which
your
Majesty
shall
have
to
see
your self
returned
into
your
Kingdom
.
We
pray
God
,
Sir
,
that
it
be
quiet
and
happy
;
and
that
as
he
hath
disposed
the
hearts
and
affections
of
your
Subjects
to
acknowledge
their
Soveraign
and
lawful
Prince
,
it
will
please
him
also
to
command
the
Winds
and
Seas
to
expedite
your
Voyage
;
and
that
after
you
have
received
on
your
own
Coast
the
same
Prayers
which
we
shall
reiterate
,
you
may
injoy
in
your
Royal
Person
,
and
in
your
Posterity
for
ever
,
all
the
Felicity
and
Prosperity
which
your
humble
Servants
wish
unto
your
Majesty
.
'T
is
certain
that
their
entertainment
of
the
King
,
and
their
Presents
,
cost
the
Dutch
above
100000
l.
The
King
departs
,
and
embarques
.
The
King
departed
(
as
before
is
mentioned
)
accompanied
with
Prince
William
of
Nassau
,
and
the
Admiral
of
Holland
,
having
the
Prince
of
Orange
before
him
,
being
in
the
midst
of
his
two
Brothers
the
Dukes
of
York
and
Gloucester
on
horse-back
,
the
Ladies
attending
on
him
in
their
Coaches
all
along
the
way
,
where
the
Citizens
,
the
Horse
,
and
the
Regiment
of
the
Guards
stood
in
Battalia
;
the
Cannon
thundred
,
being
answered
with
peals
of
Musick
,
which
conveyed
the
like
Mirth
to
the
English
Fleet
Riding
at
Scheveling
.
The
King
,
with
his
Aunt
,
his
Sister
,
and
some
other
Illustrious
Persons
(
having
taken
his
last
leave
of
the
States
)
went
first
on
board
a
Barge
prepared
by
the
Dutch
,
whose
Streamers
and
Flags
had
this
impress
,
Quo
fas
&
fata
,
alluding
to
Dieu
&
mon
Droit
;
but
upon
the
approach
of
a
Brigandine
from
General
Montague
,
The
King
Embarques
for
England
,
May
23.
he
entered
therein
,
and
came
on
board
the
Charles
;
the
Seamen
seeming
to
be
in
an
extasie
,
being
possessed
of
their
beloved
Prince
.
Soon
after
he
came
up
to
the
Poop
to
behold
again
that
multitude
on
the
Downs
of
Scheveling
,
saying
,
That
he
thought
his
own
Subjects
could
scarce
have
more
tenderness
for
him
than
those
people
,
on
whose
Affections
he
saw
he
reigned
no
less
than
he
was
going
to
raign
on
the
Wills
of
the
English
.
Much
ado
there
was
to
part
the
Princess
of
Orange
from
him
,
whom
many
other
considerations
as
strong
as
Birth
had
rendred
most
dear
to
him
,
till
at
last
the
General
,
who
with
all
possible
demonstrations
of
Loyalty
had
received
the
King
,
having
all
the
Retinue
shipt
,
caused
the
Anchors
to
be
weighed
,
and
the
Sails
to
be
spread
;
and
then
with
Tears
and
Embraces
she
left
him
,
and
was
rowed
back
again
with
the
same
company
to
the
Holland-shore
,
which
lost
fight
of
the
Fleet
about
the
evening
.
No
sooner
was
the
Fleet
under
sail
,
but
the
Cannon
began
to
roar
,
giving
notice
that
the
Lord
of
the
Sea
was
in
his
rightful
possession
;
which
Thundring
continued
till
night
:
Next
day
they
had
little
winde
,
but
so
much
,
as
on
Friday-morning
they
came
within
sight
of
Dover
;
whereupon
an
Express
was
sent
to
the
General
(
then
at
Canterbury
)
to
hasten
to
Dover
;
which
he
did
accordingly
,
and
about
one
of
the
clock
with
a
gallant
Train
came
thither
:
About
three
of
the
clock
in
the
afternoon
,
Lands
at
Dover
,
May
25.
his
Majesty
landed
at
the
Beach
neer
the
Peer
of
Dover
,
with
the
Dukes
and
his
Nobles
.
Every
man
now
put
themselves
into
a
posture
to
observe
the
meeting
of
the
best
of
Kings
,
and
best-deserving
(
without
flattery
is
it
spoken
)
of
Subjects
.
The
General
meets
him
at
his
arrival
.
This
solemn
and
unexampled
meeting
,
did
with
the
joy
thereof
infuse
a
suspence
of
fear
,
that
the
Congress
of
the
King
and
the
General
would
of
one
part
or
other
fail
in
Affection
or
Ceremony
;
but
this
Interview
dispensed
with
all
punctilio
,
other
than
that
the
General
kneeled
,
and
the
King
kissed
and
embraced
him
,
to
the
most
pleasing
satisfaction
of
Nobility
and
People
.
His
Majesty
then
walked
up
with
the
General
under
a
Canopy
,
a
Chair
of
State
being
carried
by
his
Coach-side
.
In
the
way
,
the
Mayor
and
Aldermen
of
Dover
,
with
the
Minister
,
met
his
Majesty
;
who
after
a
short
Speech
,
presented
him
a
Bible
with
Gold-clasps
(
the
ordinary
Present
of
the
Presbyterian
Ministers
.
)
Then
his
Majesty
took
Coach
,
he
and
the
Duke
of
York
at
one
end
,
and
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
and
his
Exellencie
at
the
other
,
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
in
the
Boot
.
The
King
rides
to
Canterbury
.
About
two
miles
from
Dover
the
King

Royal
Brothers

order
he
had
all

Thus
have
you
in
a
view
all
that
pleased
and
gratified
the
Eye

no
Pen
or
Tongue
is
able
to
express
those
ravishing
and
loud
musical
notes
of
Acclamations
and
Vive
le
Roy's
,
which
charmed
the
Ears
of
all
Loyal
Subjects
,
even
to
Extasie
and
Transportation
,
and
with
which
his
Majesty
himself
(

all
that
day

was

pleasingly
affected
.
With

joyful
accents
he

Commons
awaited

by
the
Earl
of
Manchester
Speaker
of
the
House
of
Lords
;
by
which
,
that
Posterity
may
know
the
sense
of
the
Kingdome
upon
this
Miraculous
Change
,
it
is
here
Recorded
.
The
Earl
of
Manchester's
Speech
to
the
King
.
THat
this
day
may
prove
happy
to
your
Majesty
,
is
the
hope
,
the
Expectation
,
and
the
earnest
desire
of
my
Lords
the
Peers
,
whose
Commands
are
upon
me
to
make
this
humble
Tender
to
your
Majesty
of
their
Loyal
joy
for
your
Majesties
safe
Return
to
your
Native
Kingdome
,
and
for
this
happy
Restoration
of
your
Majesty
to
your
Crown
and
Dignity
,
after
so
long
,
and
so
severe
a
Supression
of
your
just
Right
and
Title
.
I
shall
not
reflect
upon
your
Majesties
Sufferings
,
which
have
been
your
Peoples
Miseries
;
yet
I
cannot
omit
to
say
,
That
as
the
Nation
in
general
,
so
the
Peers
with
a
more
personal
and
particular
sense
have
felt
the
stroke
that
cut
the
Gordian
Knot
which
fastned
your
Majesty
to
your
Kingdome
,
and
your
Kingdome
to
your
Majesty
.
For
since
those
strange
and
various
Fluctuations
and
Discomposu●es
in
Government
,
since
those
horrid
and
unparallel'd
Violations
of
all
Order
and
Iustice
,
Strangers
have
Ruled
over
us
,
even
with
a
Rod
of
Iron
:
But
now
,
with
satisfaction
of
heart
,
we
own
and
see
your
Majesty
,
our
Native
King
,
and
Son
of
the
wise
;
a
Son
of
the
antient
Kings
,
whose
hand
holds
forth
a
Golden
Scepter
.
Great
King
!
Give
me
leave
to
speak
the
Confidence
,
as
well
as
the
Desires
,
of
the
Peers
of
England
:
Be
you
the
Powerful
Defender
of
the
true
Protestant
Faith
;
the
Iust
Assertor
and
Maintainer
of
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
your
Subjects
:
so
shall
Judgment
run
down
like
a
River
,
and
Justice
like
a
mighty
stream
;
and
God
,
the
God
of
your
Mercy
,
who
hath
so
miraculously
preserved
you
,
will
establish
your
Throne
in
Righteousness
and
in
Peace
.
Dread
Soveraign
!
I
offer
no
flattering
Titles
,
but
speak
the
Words
of
Truth
:
you
are
the
desire
of
Three
Kingdoms
,
the
Strength
and
the
Stay
of
the
Tribes
of
the
People
;
for
the
moderating
of
Extremities
,
the
reconciling
of
differences
,
the
satisfying
of
all
interests
,
and
for
the
restoring
of
the
collapsed
Honour
of
these
Nations
.
Their
Eyes
are
toward
your
Majesty
;
their
Tongues
with
loud
Acclamations
of
Ioy
,
speak
the
thoughts
and
Loyal
intentions
of
their
Hearts
;
their
Hands
are
lift
up
to
Heaven
with
Prayers
and
Praises
:
and
what
Oral
Triumph
can
equal
this
your
Pomp
and
Glory
?
Long
may
your
Majesty
Live
and
Reign
;
a
Support
to
your
Friends
,
a
Terrour
to
your
Enemies
,
an
Honour
to
your
Nation
,
and
an
Example
to
Kings
,
of
Piety
,
Iustice
,
Prudence
and
Power
;
that
this
Prophetick
Expression
may
be
verified
in
your
Majesty
,
King
Charles
the
Second
shall
be
greater
than
ever
was
the
greatest
of
that
Name
.
His
MAjESTIES
Gracious
Answer
to
the
Earl
of
Manchester's
Speech
.
My
Lord
,
I
Am
so
disordered
by
my
Iourney
,
and
with
the
Noise
still
sounding
in
my
Ears
,
(
which
I
confess
was
pleasing
to
me
,
because
it
expressed
the
Affections
of
my
People
)
as
I
am
unfit
at
the
present
to
make
such
a
Reply
as
I
desire
;
yet
thus
much
I
shall
say
unto
you
,
That
I
take
no
greater
Satisfaction
to
my Self
in
this
my
Change
,
than
that
I
find
my
Heart
really
set
to
endeavour
by
all
means
for
the
Restoring
of
this
Nation
to
their
Freedome
and
Happiness
;
And
I
hope
,
by
the
advice
of
my
Parliament
,
to
effect
it
.
Of
this
also
you
may
be
confident
,
That
next
to
the
Honour
of
God
,
from
whom
principally
I
shall
ever
own
this
Restoration
to
my
Crown
,
I
shall
study
the
Welfare
of
my
People
;
And
shall
not
only
be
a
True
Defender
of
the
Faith
,
But
a
Iust
Assertor
of
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
my
Subjects
.
This
passed
,
the
King
retired
to
Supper
,
and
soon
after
to
his
rest
,
where
it
was
time
he
should
find
it
,
after
so
many
difficulties
and
turmoils
in
the
World
for
Twenty
whole
years
together
.
But
the
Citizens
were
not
so
weary
of
their
Joy
and
Triumph
;
The
joy
of
the
City
.
for
as
soon
as
Night
came
,
an
Artificial
day
was
begun
again
,
the
whole
City
seeming
to
be
one
great
Light
,
as
indeed
properly
it
was
a
Luminary
of
Loyalty
;
the
Bonfires
continuing
till
day-break
,
fed
by
a
constant
supply
of
Wood
,
and
maintained
with
an
equal
excess
of
gladness
and
fewel
.
Thus
far
this
memorable
and
miraculous
Affair
hath
carried
me
:
not
willing
to
break
off
the
gladsome
speculation
and
review
of
his
glory
and
happy
Influences
,
I
must
now
a
little
retrospect
to
what
passed
at
home
in
the
Parliament
and
Kingdome
.
Several
Acts
were
in
agitation
;
Affairs
〈◊〉
home
.
one
for
removing
and
preventing
all
questions
and
disputes
concerning
the
Sitting
and
Assembling
of
this
present
Parliament
;
as
also
,
that
of
Oblivion
and
Indempnity
;
and
another
for
Sales
and
Purchases
:
and
in
the
mean
while
,
it
was
ordered
by
the
Lords
,
That
a
stop
be
put
to
the
demolishing
,
defacing
,
or
committing
wast
in
any
Houses
or
Lands
belonging
to
his
Majesty
;
and
that
no
Wood
nor
Timber
should
be
felled
:
and
the
like
done
in
the
Lands
belonging
to
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
the
Lord
Craven
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Stawel
.
The
Commons
ordered
Ten
thousand
pounds
to
be
sent
as
a
present
to
the
Duke
of
York
;
also
that
the
Scotch
Colours
taken
at
Preston
,
Dunbar
,
and
Worcester
,
and
hung
up
in
Westminster-hall
,
should
be
taken
down
:
which
was
accordingly
executed
,
and
the
Kings
Arms
placed
in
the
Courts
of
Judicature
.
Col.
Harrison
(
one
of
the
Kings
most
malicious
Judges
)
was
apprehended
in
Staffordshire
,
and
brought
up
to
London
;
and
by
his
Excellencies
Order
Committed
to
the
Tower
,
while
Whitehall
was
then
a
preparing
for
his
Majesty
.
The
House
of
Commons
taking
into
consideration
the
business
of
the
Piedmont-Collection-money
,
declared
their
detestation
and
abhorrence
of
the
diversion
of
the
said
Money
from
the
charitable
uses
to
which
pretendedly
it
was
designed
.
The
King
was
Proclaimed
with
great
joy
throughout
the
Nation
;
while
divers
of
the
Kings
Judges
(
out
of
consciousness
of
their
guilt
)
escaped
beyond
Sea
.
And
in
Ireland
.
In
Ireland
also
the
King
was
by
the
Convention
there
Assembled
,
Proclaimed
with
the
usual
Ceremonies
.
Several
of
the
eminentest
of
that
Nation
were
also
ordered
to
be
sent
to
his
Majesty
,
in
the
name
of
that
Kingdome
,
with
a
present
of
Four
thousand
pound
to
the
Duke
of
York
;
so
sympathetically
did
the
Irish
Harp
move
with
the
same
touches
on
the
English
.
The
King
and
the
Dukes
to
the
House
of
Lords
.
The
most
Illustrious
Princes
the
Dukes
of
York
and
Gloucester
went
to
the
House
of
Lords
,
and
there
took
their
places
;
whither
the
next
day
came
the
King
himself
by
Water
in
the
Brigandine
which
brought
him
aboard
the
Charles
from
Holland
;
the
Yeomen
of
the
Guard
making
a
lane
,
the
Heralds
at
Arms
in
their
rich
Coats
,
The
King
comes
to
the
Parliament
,
and
passeth
several
Acts.
the
Maces
,
and
the
Lord
General
Bare-headed
before
him
:
being
seated
,
the
Commons
were
called
;
to
whom
the
King
in
a
Speech
pressed
very
much
the
Act
of
Oblivion
;
and
Signed
some
Bills
,
viz.
One
for
Confirmation
of
the
Parliament
.
Another
for
the
Tax
of
Seventy
thousand
pounds
per
Mensem
,
for
three
Moneths
,
from
the
24
of
Iune
.
A
third
for
continuance
of
Process
,
and
Judicial
Proceedings
:
and
then
returned
to
Whitehall
,
where
he
chose
the
Lords
of
his
Privy
Council
;
among
whom
,
were
several
of
the
Long
Parliament
.
His
Majesty
also
graciously
and
judiciously
provided
for
the
Benches
and
Courts
of
Judicature
:
for
the
Chancery
the
Lord
Chancellour
Hide
;
for
the
Rolls
,
the
Lord
Culpepper
(
who
soon
after
dyed

and

this
a
fuller
account
.
A
Proclamation
for
the
King's
Iudges
to
render
themselves
.
Several
Persons
guilty
of
the
Murther
of
King
Charles
the
First
,
making
their
escapes
beyond
Sea
,
a
Proclamation
drawn
up
by
the
Parliament
was
published
by
his
Majesty
,
summoning
the
persons
therein
named
,
who
sate
,
gave
Judgment
,
and
Assisted
in
that
horrid
and
detestable
Fact
,
to
render
themselves
within
Fourteen
days
after
the
Publication
of
that
His
Majesties
Royal
Proclamation
,
to
the
Speaker
,
or
Speakers
of
the
Parliament
,
or
to
the
Lord
Mayor
of
London
,
or
to
the
respective
Sheriffs
of
the
Counties
of
England
and
Wales
;
and
that
no
person
should
presume
to
conceal
or
harbour
them
,
under
misprision
of
Treason
:
whereupon
divers
came
in
,
and
submitted
,
and
were
secured
in
the
Tower
.
Several
Addresses
were
made
to
the
King
from
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
all
the
Counties
,
congratulating
his
Majesties
Restitution
to
his
Throne
and
Kingdoms
,
and
testifying
their
exceeding
joy
and
willingness
to
maintain
his
Majesties
Royal
Person
and
Authority
.
Divers
eminent
persons
for
their
service
and
affection
to
his
Majesty
,
were
honoured
with
Knighthood
.
The
House
of
Commons
ordered
,
that
others
,
besides
the
Actual
Judges
of
the
King
,
Other
persons
excepted
out
of
the
Act
of
Oblivion
.
Hutchinson
and
Lassels
crave
Pardon
.
should
be
excepted
out
of
the
Act
of
Oblivion
(
which
was
now
very
far
proceeded
in
)
as
namely
,
Andrew
Broughton
,
Phelps
,
Iohn
Cook
,
Hugh
Peters
,
and
Edward
Denby
.
This
so
affrighted
others
who
had
a
hand
in
that
execrable
business
,
that
Colonel
Iohn
Hutchinson
a
Member
in
this
Parliament
,
and
Colonel
Francis
Lassells
Petitioned
the
House
,
confessing
their
guilt
,
and
withal
the
Artifices
that
were
used
to
draw
them
in
;
and
by
this
submission
obtained
Pardon
,
upon
some
forfeitures
.
Hugh
Peters
was
taken
about
this
time
in
Southwarke
:
at
first
he
denyed
his
Name
,
but
being
brought
before
Sir
Iohn
Robinson
,
then
made
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
,
he
was
known
,
and
acknowledged
himself
,
Parliament
lay
hold
on
his
Majesties
Declaration
from
Breda
.
and
was
there
secured
.
The
Parliament
thought
not
themselves
nor
the
people
of
England
freed
from
that
guilt
and
punishment
which
our
unhappy
times
had
contracted
,
unless
they
laid
hold
on
his
Majesties
Grace
,
mentioned
in
his
Declaration
from
Breda
;
and
therefore
Resolved
,
That
the
House
doth
declare
,
that
they
do
in
the
Name
of
themselves
,
and
all
the
Commons
of
England
,
lay
hold
on
his
Majesties
gracious
Pardon
mentioned
in
his
Declaration
,
with
reference
to
the
excepting
of
such
as
shall
be
excepted
in
an
Act
of
Pardon
:
and
accordingly
a
Declaration
was
made
,
and
presented
to
the
King
by
Master
Denzill
Hellis
.
His
Majesty
was
graciously
pleased
to
signifie
his
readiness
and
willingness
to
comply
with
that
his
Royal
Word
,
and
gave
direction
for
a
Proclamation
to
that
purpose
:
In
the
mean
while
,
several
of
the
eminentest
in
Offices
under
the
Usurpation
,
to
make
sure
of
this
Grace
offered
from
Breda
,
got
their
particular
Pardons
exemplified
under
the
Great
Seal
of
England
,
as
they
were
well
advised
by
the
notoriety
of
their
Guilt
,
and
their
distrustful
Consciences
:
to
secure
and
discharge
which
trouble
,
the
King
was
more
than
ordinary
pressing
for
a
speedy
Passing
of
the
Act
of
Oblivion
;
as
on
the
other
side
his
Sentiments
of
those
services
to
his
Restitution
,
gave
him
the
immediate
resolutions
of
dignifying
those
Illustrious
Personages
,
who
most
instrumentally
and
principally
did
accomplish
it
.
And
therefore
,
on
the
12
of
Iuly
,
The
General
dignified
with
the
Title
of
D.
of
Albemarle
.
he
honoured
the
most
noble
General
Monck
with
the
Titles
of
Duke
of
Albemarle
(
which
Dutchy
formerly
was
appropriate
to
the
Blood
Royal
,
and
was
extinct
in
the
Reign
of
Henry
the
Fourth
,
the
Demeasnes
and
Jurisdiction
whereof
lay
in
the
Dutchy
of
Normandy
in

the
English
Soveraginty
)

his
own
native
County
of
Devon

and
Baron
of

(

own
Patrimony
)
Beauchamp
and
Teyes
;
by
which
he
hath
right
of
Peerage
in
the
three
Kingdoms
,
whose
equal
Felicity
and
Honour
he
advanced
and
raised
before
himself
,
and
now
most
deservingly
shared
with
them
by
his
Investiture
in
these
Dignities
,
which
were
compleated
Iuly
the
13
,
by
his
taking
his
place
in
the
House
of
Lords
,
attended
by
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
introduced
by
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
.
In
the
same
month
General
Montague
was
created
Earl
of
Sandwich
,
Viscount
Hinchingbrooke
his
famous
Mannor
in
Huntingtonshire
,
and
Baron
of
St.
Neots
in
the
same
County
;
and
on
the
16
of
Iuly
took
likewise
his
place
in
the
House
of
Peers
,
where
they
both
shine
with
that
degree
of
splendor
,
by
which
the
Duke
reduced
,
and
the
Earl
dawned
at
,
the
day
of
Englands
Glory
and
Liberty
.
Several
Dignities
and
Offices
conferred
.
The
Duke
of
Ormond
was
likewise
made
Earl
of
Brecknock
,
and
took
his
place
among
the
Peers
of
England
:
he
was
also
made
Lord
Steward
of
his
Majesties
Houshold
,
as
the
Earl
of
Lindsey
was
made
Lord
High-Chamberlain
,
the
Earl
of
Manchester
Lord
Chamberlain
of
his
Majesties
Houshold
,
and
the
Earl
of
Southampton
Lord
High-Treasurer
of
England
:
Sir
Frederick
Cornwallis
was
made
Treasurer
of
the
Kings
Houshold
by
an
old
Grant
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Berkley
Comptroller
;
and
other
Royalists
were
made
Officers
therein
.
Several
presents
were
made
to
the
King
from
the
several
Cities
and
Boroughs
of
the
Kingdom
,
in
Gold
and
Plate
,
Fee-farm

resigned
.
and
resignation
of
Fee-farm-rents
purchased
from
the
Usurpers
;
among
the
rest
,
the
City
of
London
(
with
a
Complement
of
their
good
Stewardship
,
by
the
mouth
of
their
Recorder
Sir
William
Wilde
)
rendred
their
like
Grant
of
New
Parke
in
Surrey
.
All
the
Rents
accruing
at
Michaelmas-day
were
now
secured
from
the
late
Purchasers
of
Kings
,
Queens
,
Bishops
,
Dean
and
Chapters
lands
,
for
the
use
of
the
right
and
unquestionable
Proprietors
;
to
the
defeating
the
miserable
and
unjust
covetousness
of
such
undue
and
unwarrantable
penniworths
.
A
splendid
Embassy
came
this
Month
of
August
from
Denmark
,
to
congratulate
his
Majesties
most
happy
Restitution
;
as
a
little
before
,
the
Lord
Iermyn
,
Lord
Jermyn
Earl
of
St.
Albans
Embassador
into
France
.
Prince
de
Ligne
.
newly
made
Earl
of
Saint
Albans
(
the
Title
last
failing
in
the
renowned
Marquess
of
Clanrickard
Vlick
de
Burgh
,
who
had
so
eminently
asserted
his
Majesties
Rights
in
Ireland
,
and
after
the
reduction
thereof
came
into
England
,
and
died
in
London
in
some
distress
,
far
unfitting
his
nobleness
of
minde
,
as
well
as
former
most
honourable
Estate
,
a
while
before
the
Kings
Return
)
was
sent
to
France
in
the
quality
of
Lord
Embassador
Extraordinary
to
that
Crown
.
Soon
after
,
the
Prince
de
Ligne
,
with
a
right
Princely
Train
and
retinue
becoming
the
grandeur
of
the
Affair
,
(
he
was
sent
to
Congratulate
from
his
Majesty
of
Spain
,
betwixt
whom
and
this
Kingdom
a
Peace
after
a
six
years
War
was
lately
Proclaimed
)
was
with
great
state
received
,
and
had
solemn
Audience
by
the
King
,
and
departed
;
and
was
succeeded
by
the
Baron
of
Battevile
to
be
Resident
and
Embassador
in
Ordinary
at
this
Court.
From
the
French
King
soon
after
came
another
Illustrious
and
grand
Personage
upon
the
same
account
,
by
name
the
Count
of
Soissons
,
Count
de
Soissons
Embassador
hither
.
who
had
married
the
Cardinal's
Neece
,
and
entred
and
was
entertained
here
with
all
sumptuous
and
extraordinary
Magnificence
.
In
sum
,
there
was
no
Prince
nor
State
in
Europe
who
sent
not
,
or
were
not
a
sending
their
Embassador
upon
this
wonderful
occasion
.
The
Parliament
,
after
many
debates
and
disputes
,
alterations
and
insertions
,
at
last
finished
the
Act
of
Oblivion
;
which
was
extraordinary
comprehensive
and
indulgent
,
Act
o●
Oblivion
passed
.
to
the
regret
of
many
injured
Royalists
,
who
found
no
better
perswasive
to
their
acquiescence
in
it
,
but
their
unalterable
duty
to
the
King
,
whose
special
Act
this
was
.
Out
of
this
were
only
excepted
the
Regicides
and
Murderers
of
their
late
Soveraign
,
as
to
Life
and
Estate
;
besides
Colonel
Lambert
,
and
Sir
Henry
Vane
,
and
Twenty
others
,
reserved
to
such
Forfeitures
as
should
by
Parliament
be
declared
:
the
principal
of
these
were
Sir
Arthur
Haselrig
,
Oliver
Saint
Iohn
,
William
Lenthal
the
Speaker
,
Mr.
Ny
the
Independent
Minister
,
Burton
of
Yarmouth
;
and
some
Sequestrators
,
Officers
,
and
Major-Generals
of
the
Army
;
amongst
whom
was
Desborough
,
Pine
,
Butler
,
Ireton
,
&c.
They
passed
likewise
an
Act
for
a
perpetual
Anniversary
Thanksgiving
on
the
29
of
May
,
the
day
of
his
Majesties
Birth
and
Restauration
;
a
day
indeed
memorable
,
and
the
most
auspicious
in
our
English
Kalendar
,
and
worthy
of
a
Parliaments
Canonization
:
Both
which
his
Majesty
gave
his
Royal
Assent
to
,
as
at
the
Adjournment
to
another
for
Disbanding
of
the
Army
(
and
paying
off
the
Navy
)
which
once
looked
upon
us
with
the
same
feared
perpetual
danger
,
as
the
Mamalukes
or
Ianizaries
;
but
by
this
happy
conjuncture
of
his
Majesties
Fortune
with
his
Wisdom
and
Goodness
,
yielded
(
after
many
Modules
)
to
its
last
Dissolution
.
Great
sums
by
Pole-money
and
other
Assessments
were
imposed
,
and
speedily
and
cheerfully
levied
and
paid
,
to
finish
this
desired
work
,
which
had
before
wasted
so
many
Millions
of
Treasure
.
Mr.
Scowen
,
Mr.
Pryn
,
Col.
King
,
and
Sir
Charles
Doyley
,
were
appointed
Commissioners
to
disband
them
;
to
which
the
Souldiery
very
willingly
and
with
thanks
to
the
King
submitted
;
the
King
giving
them
a
Weeks
pay
as
a
Donative
and
Largess
.
The
Parliament
adjourned
till
the
6
of
November
.
These
Felicities
of
the
King
we
have
hitherto
insisted
on
,
as
the
course
of
all
worldly
things
is
guided
,
were
abated
and
allayed
by
the
immature
and
most
lamented
Death
of
the
right
Excellent
Prince
Henry
Duke
of
Gloucester
,
his
Majesties
youngest
Brother
;
a
Prince
of
very
extraordinary
hopes
.
Silence
will
best
become
our
lamentation
:
for
his
vertues
,
and
our
loss
of
them
,
transcend
expression
.
Duke
of
Gloucester
dies
,
Sept.
13.
Princess
of
Orange
arrives
,
Sept.
He
died
of
the
Small-pox
,
Aged
Twenty
years
and
two
months
,
after
much
Blood-letting
,
and
was
Interred
with
a
private
Funeral
in
Henry
the
Seventh's
Chappel
at
Westminster
,
just
before
the
arrival
of
his
Sister
the
Princess
of
Orange
,
who
came
to
joy
and
felicitate
her
Brothers
in
their
happy
Restitution
.
With
the
King
and
Monarchy
,
the
Ecclesiastical
Regiment
by
Bishops
recovered
it self
,
Episcopacy
re-established
.
by
his
Majesties
Piety
and
Prudence
;
that
Aphorism
being
most
sadly
verified
,
No
Bishop
,
No
King
;
and
therefore
,
on
the
20
of
September
,
Dr.
Iuxon
Bishop
of
London
,
that
antient
and
excellent
Prelate
,
was
by
the
King
translated
from
that
See
to
the
Arch-bishoprick
of
Canterbury
;
which
was
performed
with
great
Solemnity
:
and
not
long
after
,
several
new
Bishops
(
persons
the
most
eminent
and
valiant
assertors
of
the
Church
and
Laws
of
England
)
were
Consecrated
in
the
Abby
at
Westminster
,
and
all
the
Diocesses
filled
;
of
which
together
presently
,
in
an
ensuing
Catalogue
.
The
Kings
Iudges
brought
to
Tryal
,
Oct.
9.
Divine
Vengeance
had
with
a
slow
foot
traced
the
murtherers
of
our
Martyr'd
Soveraign
,
and
through
several
Mazes
at
last
overtook
them
;
the
iron
hand
of
Justice
delivering
them
to
the
punishment
due
to
that
grand
impiety
:
nor
was
it
the
least
of
his
present
Majesties
Felicities
in
his
Restitution
,
that
he
should
parentate
,
in
this
solemn
manner
,
to
His
most
vilely
and
rebelliously
abused
Father
;
That
his
justice
might
appear
equally
as
resplendent
as
his
clemency
to
the
lesser
guilt
of
his
undutiful
people
,
in
not
suffering
his
innate
goodness
to
be
wrought
upon
so
far
,
that
this
unexampled
parricide
should
pass
with
an
unexampled
impunity
;
since
the
Parliament
in
detestation
,
and
to
wipe
away
the
stain
of
that
perpetration
,
had
given
up
these
persons
following
,
as
Sacrifices
to
the
Law
,
and
the
Honour
of
their
Country
.
On
the
Ninth
of
October
,
The

Edw.
3
d.
by
which
it
was
made
Treason
,
to
compass
and
imagine
the
death
of
the
King
:
which
he
largely
,
learnedly
,
and
eloquently
opened
,
the
Statute
being
but
declarative
of
the
Common
Law
.
Which
ended
,

of

,
the

by
Adjournment
sate
in
Justice-Hall
in
the
Sessions-house
in

and
the

,
the

desiring

answered
,
I
am
here
;
he
at
last
held
up
his
hand
:
then
the
Indictment
was
read
in
these
words
:
That
he
,
together
with
others
,
not
having
the
fear
of
God
before
their
eyes
,
and
being
instigated
of
the
Devil
,
did
maliciously
,
treasonably
,
and
feloniously
,
contrary
to
his
due
Allegiance
and
bounden
Duty
,
sit
upon
and
condemn
our
late
Soveraign
Lord
King
Charles
the
First
,
of
ever-blessed
Memory
;
and
also
did
,
upon
the
Thirtieth
day
of
January
1648
,
signe
and
seal
a
Warrant
for
the
Execution
of
his
Sacred
Majesty
,
where
also
,
&c.
To
which
Waller
after
some
debate
,
pleaded
guilty
;
Heveningham
and
Harrison
,
Not
guilty
:
Then
Isaac
Pennington
,
Henry
Marten
,
Gilbert
Millingham
,
Robert
Tichburn
,
Owen
Roe
,
and
Robert
Lilburn
,
after
the
said
Indictment
read
,
were
bid
to
plead
,
who
did
;
except
Henry
Marten
,
who
said
,
he
was
not
excepted
out
of
the
Act
of
Indemnity
,
the
person
there
being
Henry
Martin
,
not
Marten
:
but
the
Court
answered
,
A
misname
would
not
be
pleadable
,
Mr.
Sollicitor
citing
a
Case
in
the
difference
of
names
betwixt
Bagster
and
Baxter
.
All
of
them
insisted
for
Counsel
.
Then
Adrian
Scroop
,
Iohn
Carew
,
Iohn
Iones
,
Thomas
Scot
,
Gregory
Clement
,
and
Iohn
Cook
were
likewise
set
to
the
Bar
;
where
seeing
the
Court
insist
upon
a
present
Plea
,
as
the
rule
of
the
Law
,
or
else
Judgement
,
pleaded
to
the
Indictment
Not
guilty
;
Carew
making
this
salvo
,
Saving
to
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
his
Right
to
the
Government
of
these
Nations
.
Next
,
Edmund
Harvey
,
Henry
Smith
,
Iohn
Downs
,
Vincent
Potter
,
and
Augustine
Garland
;
and
after
them
George
Fleetwood
,
Simon
Meyn
,
Iames
Temple
,
Peter
Temple
,
Thomas
Wait
,
Hugh
Peters
,
Francis
Hacker
,
Daniel
Axtel
,
who
all
but
the
last
presently
pleaded
,
and
would
be
tried
by
God
and
their
Country
:
Peters
would
be
tried
,
at
first
,
by
the
Law
of
God
,
having
pleaded
Not
guilty
,
no
not
for
a
thousand
worlds
;
but
the
people
laught
him
out
of
it
.
Axtel
,
not
till
informed
of
the
danger
of
a
mute
,
and
that
no
man
can
justifie
Treason
;
if
the
matter
which
he
had
to
say
be
justifiable
,
it
is
not
Treason
;
if
Treason
,
it
is
not
justifiable
:
and
therefore
he
must
go
to
the
ordinary
way
of
guilty
,
or
not
guilty
.
Harrison
tried
,
Oct.
11.
Harrison
was
the
next
day
set
to
the
Bar
,
with
Scroop
and
●our
more
;
but
they
severally
challenging
the
Judges
,
the
Court
ordered
to
try
them
singly
;
and
proceeded
with
Harrison
,
who
excepted
his
full
number
thirty
five
of
the
Jury
;
and
the
other
twelve
being
sworn
,
Mr.
Sollicitor-General
much
Rhetorically
laid
forth
the
nature
and
atrocity
of
the
Fact
:
That
the
very
thoughts
of
such
attempts
were
in
all
Ages
,
Sir
Heneage
Finch
opens
the
Indictment
.
and
among
all
people
,
counted
an
unpardonable
Treason
,
as
the
story
of
the
two
Eunuchs
against
Ahasuerus
;
Voluerunt
insurgere
,
they
only
had
a
Will
to
rise
up
against
him
:
and
the
testimony
of
Tacitus
,
qui
deliberant
desciverant
;
who
consult
of
this
Fact
,
are
Rebels
already
.
That
it
is
not
the
sole
interest
of
one
Royal
Person
concerned
in
this
parricide
,
but
all
of
the
Nation
.
That
Sir
Edward
Cooke
hath
a
Notion
,
that
to
the
perfection
of
this
Law
of
the
25
Edw.
3.
a
time
to
be
limited
to
the
accuser
was
requisite
;
but
how
great
a
mistake
that
was
,
would
appear
by
this
,
That
this
Treason
had
so
long
out-faced
the
Law
,
and
the
Justice
of
the
Kingdom
,
that
if
there
had
been
a
time
of
limitation
,
there
would
have
been
no
time
nor
place
left
to
punishment
;
and
so
the
guilt
would
have
stuck
upon
the
Kingdom
,
and
this
wickedness
grown
up
into
an
impunity
.
That
the
scope
of
the
Indictment
was
,
for
the
compassing
of
the
King's
death
;
the
rest
,
as
usurping
power
over
the
King's
person
,
the
Assembling
,
Sitting
,
and
Judging
,
are
but
as
so
many
overt
Acts
to
prove
the
intentions
of
the
heart
;
all
which
are
not
necessary
to
be
proved
against
every
particular
person
.
That
every
other
overt
Act
,
besides
what
is
laid
in
the
Indictment
,
as
incouraging
of
the
Souldiers
to
cry
Justice
and
Execution
,
or
preaching
up
the
Work
as
godly
,
may
be
given
in
evidence
against
the
guilty
persons
,
whose
Crime
was
of
that
unmeasurable
impiety
,
that
it
could
neither
be
heightned
by
any
aggravation
,
or
lessened
by
any
excuse
.
Then
he
traced
the
steps
and
gradations
to
this
Villany
from
the
Treaty
in
1648
,
and
shewed
the
wicked
Circumstances
and
Formalities
thereof
;
particularly
he
declared
this
person
of
those
living
(
twenty
six
being
already
deceased
,
and
six
or
seven
reserved
to
other
penalties
,
and
a
sorrowful
repentance
;
and
twenty
nine
more
before
their
Lordships
)
to
be
the
onely
chief
Leader
,
Captain
,
and
Conductour
in
this
horrible
Treason
:
and
hinted
at
his
sawcy
demeanour
to
the
King
in
his
bringing
him
to
his
Tryal
;
his
irreverend
speeches
and
carriages
then
towards
the
King
;
at
his
malicious
designe
of
blacking
him
to
the
people
.
Sir
Edward
Turner
used
the
like
harangue
;
and
then
the
Witnesses
were
sworn
;
and
after
evidence
given
,
Mr.
Windham
closed
it
with
this
Speech
:
That
the
Indictment
was
for
compassing
the
King's
death
;
there
lay
the
Treason
:
for
there
is
not
one
word
in
that
Statute
of
killing
the
King
;
insomuch
that
if
after
that
sitting
upon
the
King
,
they
had
acquitted
him
,
yet
would
it
have
been
Treason
still
:
that
this
imagination
of
Harrison's
was
plainly
proved
,
and
the
more
confirmed
by
his
mention
of
blacking
the
King
:
that
he
had
confessed
he
sat
,
and
signed
,
and
therefore
there
was
no
difficulty
in
the
Verdict
.
This
saying
of
his
,
of
blacking
the
King
,
was
proved
by
one
Mr.
Nutly
,
who
having
got
admittance
into
the
Committee
that
drew
up
the
Charge
against
the
King
,
over-heard
him
say
those
words
upon
a
dispute
of
contracting
the
said
Charge
;
which
Harrison
rejected
,
for
this
Reason
,
as
knowing
[
calumniare
fortiter
,
aliquid
haerebit
]
of
a
multitude
of
imputations
,
some
of
them
would
stick
.
It
will
be
a
trouble
,
cumberance
,
and
labour
to
the
Reader
,
to
particularize
any
more
Speeches
of
the
King's
Counsel
,
or
their
shewing
the
Record
of
the
Warrant
for
Execution
,
&c.
to
every
one
of
the
Prisoners
;
or
the
Courts
denying
the
Prisoners
Counsel
,
because
it
is
very
neer
the
same
throughout
;
and
therefore
there
is
here
subjoyned
only
a
breviate
of
each
persons
defence
,
referring
the
more
unsatisfied
and
curious
to
the
Original
and
entire
Copy
of
them
.
Harrison
began
his
by
a
strange
argumentation
,
from
the
notoriety
of
the
Fact
,
that
it
was
not
done
in
a
corner
;
that
he
believed
God
was
with
his
servants
in
those
days
,
(
however
it
seemed
good
to
him
to
suffer
this
turn
to
come
upon
them
:
)
that
he
had
desired
to
know
the
minde
of
God
in
it
;
but
he
had
received
no
conviction
of
the
evil
of
it
,
but
rather
assurance
;
professed
the
harmlesness
of
his
Nature
to
Man
,
Woman
,
and
Childe
;
that
he
followed
not
his
own
judgement
,
but
his
Conscience
to
the
Lord
;
that
he
had
suffered
imprisonment
,
because
he
would
not
turn
aside
from
the
Cause
to
Oliver
,
and
refused
his
temptation
of
sitting
at
his
right
hand
:
That
what
he
had
done
in
this
matter
,
was
by
authority
of
Parliament
;
and
that
this
,
nor
any
other
inferiour
Court
,
hath
any
Cognizance
or
Jurisdiction
on
that
:
and
therefore
,
they
could
not
question
him
that
acted
in
obedience
to
that
Authority
;
and
that
he
did
act
in
the
fear
of
God
.
Hereat
the
Court
and
Auditory
were
agast
,
and
cried
,
Away
with
him
,
for
he
made
God
the
Author
of
his
wickedness
:
and
as
to
the
pretended
Authority
,
and
his
Actions
he
warranted
thereby
,
It
was
answered
,
that
if
the
Lords
and
Commons
in
full
Houses
had
then
taken
upon
them
such
Authority
,
it
had
yet
been
Treason
:
For
the
Lords
and
Commons
do
not
,
nor
never
did
,
constitute
a
Parliament
,
without
the
King
;
but
that
there
was
not
an
eighth
part
of
the
House
of
Commons
that
contrived
and
ordered
this
Treason
.
And
to
this
purpose
spoke
Mr.
Annesly
,
now
Earl
of
Anglesey
,
and
Mr.
(
now
Lord
)
Hollis
,
ripping
up
the
violence
and
insolence
of
this
Prisoner
and
his
Associates
in
forcing
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
secluding
them
and
other
Members
thereof
in
December
1648.
That
this
discourse
was
to
infect
the
people
;
and
Sir
Edward
Turner
added
,
that
he
had
the
Plague
all
over
him
:
and
the
whole
Court
unanimously
,
and
severally
,
rejected
that
treasonable
Tenet
of
an
Authority
in
both
or
either
Houses
without
the
King
;
and
over-ruled
that
Plea
.
To
which
Harrison
was
instant
for
Counsel
to
assist
him
.
After
some
interlocurions
,
he
began
a
discourse
of
the
War
;
the
Kings
setting
up
his
Standard
against
the
people
(
and
that
God
is
no
respecter
of
persons
)
and
shedding
of
innocent
blood
:
and
being
interrupted
there
,
avouching
the
same
Authority
again
,
he
profest
his
abhorrence
of
blacking
the
King
;
aequivocated
with
his
bringing
the
King
to
his
Tryal
from
Hurst-castle
;
for
he
was
commanded
to
do
it
from
the
General
:
At
last
he
urged
his
impreparation
for
his
Tryal
,
being
six
months
a
close
Prisoner
;
but
that
he
had
some
Acts
of
the
Parliament
ready
to
produce
to
his
justification
:
and
here
he
concluded
.
And
Judgement
being
demanded
,
the
Jury
gave
in
their
Verdict
,
(
which
they
did
without
stirring
from
the
place
)
and
Sentence
was
past
upon
him
,
The
Sentence
.
in
these
words
:
You
are
to
be
led
back
to
the
place
from
whence
you
came
,
and
from
thence
to
be
drawn
on
a
Hurdle
to
the
place
of
Execution
,
and
there
you
shall
be
hanged
by
the
Neck
;
and
being
alive
shall
be
cut
down
,
your
privy
Members
to
be
cut
off
,
your
Entrails
to
be
taken
out
of
your
Body
,
and
you
living
,
the
same
to
be
burnt
before
your
eyes
;
and
your
Head
to
be
cut
off
,
your
Body
to
be
divided
into
four
parts
,
and
your
Head
and
Quarters
to
be
disposed
at
the
pleasure
of
the
Kings
Majesty
.
And
so
he
was
returned
to
Newgate
,
in
order
to
Execution
.
Colonel
Adrian
Scroop
was
next
set
to
the
Bar
;
Col.
Adrian
Scroop
.
and
after
some
challenge
of
the
Jury
,
which
(
as
Harrison
did
before
,
and
all
the
rest
after
)
was
to
pick
out
the
meanest
of
them
,
afraid
of
the
Gentry
,
over
whom
they
had
tyrannously
and
insolently
Lorded
;
and
convicted
by
the
same
evidence
of
sitting
in
the
High
Court
,
and
subscribing
the
Warrant
,
&c.
As
also
by
the
testimony
of
Sir
Richard
Brown
,
the
Lord
Mayor
Elect
for
the
next
year
,
who
witnessed
that
since
the
Return
of
the
King
,
in
some
accidental
conference
,
he
seemed
to
allow
and
approve
of
the
Fact
,
by
saying
,
Many
people
did
not
think
it
such
a
heynous
matter
;
or
that
some
be
of
one
minde
,
and
some
of
another
:
which
he
denied
now
to
have
expresly
said
;
but
bewailed
the
misfortune
of
that
Encounter
with
Sir
Richard
;
for
whereas
before
he
was
not
excepted
out
of
the
Act
of
Indemnity
,
the
very
last
day
it
passed
he
was
by
that
means
even
then
excepted
.
He
justified
that
Authority
,
and
the
Fact
committed
by
that
Authority
,
but
not
the
person
;
protested
he
had
no
malice
against
the
King
,
and
that
it
was
an
errour
of
Judgement
,
not
of
his
Will
:
that
he
took
the
Parliament's
Authority
for
valid
,
(
but
over-ruled
by
a
precedent
Tryal
)
acquainted
the
Jury
that
he
lay
under
a
great
prejudice
by
the
Fact
,
and
desired
them
to
consider
his
Case
as
they
would
their
own
;
and
hinted
at
the
benefit
of
the
Proclamation
:
he
was
found
likewise
guilty
,
and
sentenced
.
Carew
tryed
.
Iohn
Carew
was
next
set
to
the
Bar
,
who
rambled
into
the
discourse
of
Harrison
;
talkt
of
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
the
Authority
of
the
Parliament
by
which
he
acted
:
that
he
declined
it
at
first
,
but
being
put
in
the
Act
for
Tryal
,
could
not
disobey
the
Lord
nor
the
Parliament
;
acknowledged
his
sitting
and
signing
,
but
not
his
guilt
therein
,
but
highly
vindicated
the
Parliament
and
their
Power
to
the
Jury
;
but
was
sentenced
as
the
rest
.
Scot
tryed
,
Octob.
12.
To
Thomas
Scot
the
same
Witnesses
were
produced
in
all
things
as
the
former
;
only
he
added
,
that
the
Authority
of
the
remaining
Members
might
be
as
good
as
the
Parliament
was
when
the
Bishops
were
excluded
;
and
if
two
Estates
may
take
away
a
third
,
if
the
second
do
not
continue
to
Execute
their
Trust
,
he
that
is
in
occupancie
may
have
a
title
to
the
whole
:
by
which
Argument
,
he
affirmed
the
Parliaments
Authority
.
To
this
was
answered
,
that
the
Bishops
were
taken
away
by
an
Act
,
with
the
consent
of
the
King
,
Lords
,
and
Commons
;
and
that
the
Justification
of
this
blasphemous
principle
(
as
the
Lord
Finch
termed
it
,
as
also
Lord
Annesly
and
the
whole
Court
)
was
unsufferable
,
and
High
Treason
.
Mr.
William
Lenthall
,
Mr.
Theophilus
Biddulph
,
and
Lord
Mayor
Elect
,
were
sworn
to
prove
,
that
he
said
he
would
have
it
written
on
his
Grave
,
That
Here
lies
Thomas
Scot
,
one
that
adjudged
the
King
to
Death
.
And
to
this
purpose
,
afterwards
in
the
House
,
upon
the
Dissolution
of
the
Parliament
,
he
was
heard
to
have
added
,
Since
it
is
your
pleasure
to
Dissolve
the
House
,
I
know
not
how
to
hinder
;
but
when
that
is
done
,
I
know
not
where
to
hide
my
hated
head
.
Gregory
Clement
waved
his
Plea
,
Gregory
Clement
.
and
confessed
his
Crime
,
and
delivered
a
Petition
,
as
Waller
had
done
before
.
And
Colonel
Iones
made
little
defence
,
Colonel
Iones
but
acquiesced
upon
the
proof
of
his
sitting
and
signing
;
and
so
they
all
had
Sentence
as
before
.

Iohn
Cook
was
next
Arraigned
,
for
Assuming
a
Power
over
the
King's
Life
;
for
drawing
and
exhibiting
the
Charge
;
for
demanding
Judgment
;
for
pressing
the
Charge
to
be
taken
pro
Confesso
;
in
sum
,
for
being
instrumental
in
the
Kings
Death
.
To
this
he
Answered
very
acutely
,
to
the
glory
of
his
parts
,
and
infamy
of
his
practice
,
and
to
set
up
his
Law
above
the
Gospel
,
from
whence
he
borrowed
St.
Pauls
elegant
Defence
,
Neither
against
the
Law
,
nor
against
Caesar
have
I
,
I
hope
,
offended
.
He
alledged
,
he
was
but
Counsel
,
and
acted
in
his
Sphere
for
his
Fee
:
in
that
his
Crime
was
avaritiae
,
of
covetousness
;
not
malitiae
,
nor
falsly
nor
Treasonably
,
in
advising
the
Charge
:
that
he
was
no
Sword-man
:
that
he
executed
no
Power
over
the
King
:
that
in
drawing
the
Charge
,
he
discharged
rather
the
part
of
a
good
Subject
;
for
the
King
being
Prisoner
,
to
accelerate
his
Tryal
was
a
Courtesie
;
that
he
had
retrencht
the
prolixity
of
it
to
that
purpose
:
he
denyed
the
examining
of
any
Witnesses
against
the
King
:
that
in
demanding
Judgment
,
he
did
not
mean
Judgment
against
the
King
of
Condemnation
,
but
of
Absolution
.
He
observed
,
that
the
word
Instrumental
in
the
exception
of
the
Act
,
was
insignificant
,
or
otherwise
incomprehensive
of
him
:
that
by
the
Kings
gracious
Letter
,
a
Free
Parliament
was
to
declare
the
excepted
persons
;
which
this
could
not
be
,
not
being
called
by
his
Majesties
Writ
.
All
which
were
fully
Answered
by
Sir
Heneage
Finch
;
but
for
fear
I
may
pervert
or
miss
the
sinewy
strength
of
that
Reply
,
this
shall
suffice
to
be
the
reduction
;
That
his
entring
the
Charge
,
and
a
protestation
in
the
Conclusion
of
Liberty
to
put
in
a
new
one
,
and
desiring
that
the
King
as
a
Traytor
may
be
brought
to
Justice
,
was
no
such
demand
as
could
be
imagined
to
end
in
acquittal
:
that
to
the
Act
of
Indemnity
,
the
Parliament
having
made
a
special
proviso
,
and
inserted
him
by
name
therein
,
the
Words
concluding
him
,
it
is
not
material
what
the
subsequent
Reasons
are
;
so
that
though
he
might
say
,
the
Parliament
was
mistaken
in
their
Reason
,
yet
not
in
their
Conclusion
.
As
to
the
Kings
Letter
from
Breda
referring
all
Crimes
and
Offences
soever
to
a
Free
Parliament
(
that
the
Honour
of
the
King
might
be
for
ever
Sacred
)
he
said
,
that
in
case
the
Parliament
,
was
not
a
right
Parliament
,
that
Letter
in
it self
is
no
Pardon
,
until
it
had
been
under
the
Broad
Seal
,
and
in
more
express
terms
,
as
in
the
Case
of
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
:
but
as
to
the
Parliament
,
it
is
plain
the
King
meant
this
Parliament
,
the
Letter
being
directed
to
the
Speaker
of
our
House
of
Commons
;
to
them
it
was
left
to
provide
for
security
and
indemnity
,
and
to
expiate
this
crying
Sin
;
and
to
dispence
his
Mercy
and
Justice
in
this
particular
:
they
then
Address
themselves
to
his
Majesties
Clemency
for
the
whole
Nation
,
and
the
Kings
Proclamation
grants
a
Pardon
;
so
that
this
must
needs
be
the
Parliament
,
though
as
the
times
were
,
it
were
not
so
duly
Constituted
,
but
since
Confirmed
by
his
Majesty
.
It
was
added
by
Mr.
Windham
,
that
words
and
advice
,
when
the
Act
follows
,
will
make
any
Counsellor
guilty
:
as
if
a
Counsellor
should
advise
one
man
to
kill
another
,
and
he
does
it
.
All
was
sum'd
up
in
an
accurate
repetition
of
it
,
with
Evidence
and
Defence
,
by
Sir
Orlando
Bridgman
;
and
he
thereupon
found
guilty
.
The
Court
used
him
very
civilly
,
and
he
shewed
very
much
respect
and
reverence
to
the
Court
,
behaving
himself
to
the
removing
of
that
prejudice
which
the
generality
had
of
him
,
as
of
a
Monster
.
But
see
what
a
narrow
Fortune
,
and
the
streights
of
Debt
,
and
the
Devils
wide
World
,
and
vast
Preferments
can
tempt
man
to
,
since
his
first
Delusions
bewitcht
our
understanding
!
Hugh
Peters
came
to
the
Bar.
Peters
,
Octob.
13.
He
was
charged
with
contriving
the
Kings
Death
at
Ware
with
Oliver
Cromwel
,
at
Windsor
,
at
Coleman-street
,
at
the
Painted
Chamber
,
Bradshaw's
House
;
that
in
a
Sermon
he
had
compared
the
King
to
Barabbas
:
that
in
another
,
the
Text
whereof
was
to
bind
Kings
in
Chains
,
&c.
he
had
declared
,
that
there
was
an
Act
of
Gods
own
making
,
that
they
that
spilt
mans
blood
,
by
man
should
his
blood
be
spilt
;
and
that
out
of
that
Law
neither
the
King
,
nor
Prince
,
or
Prince
Rupert
,
nor
none
of
that
rabble
are
excepted
:
that
on
the
Twenty
seventh
of
Ianuary
he
had
Preached
before
the
High
Court
of
Justice
,
at
Westminster
,
on
the
14
of
Isaiah
,
18
,
19.
verses
;
All
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
&c.
All
he
said
to
this
,
was
to
cavil
at
the
Witnesses
:
he
declared
his
course
of
Life
,
and
his
Orthodox
perseverance
;
but
,
as
to
the
purpose
,
he
said
he
was
sorry
to
hear
of
his
carriage
towards
the
King
,
but
he
had
no
malice
toward
him
,
but
was
meerly
engaged
in
he
Army
.
He
was
also
upon
suspition
of
being
the
Executioner
,
but
he
proved
he
was
sick
a
bed
that
day
;
so
Cook
and
he
were
Sentenced
together
.
Dani●l
Axtel
.
Daniel
Axtel
was
next
set
to
the
Bar
,
(
He
had
escaped
as
he
thought
the
exception
in
the
Act
,
being
lately
added
to
this
miserable
number
,
for
there
was
other
blood
barbarously
shed
by
him
,
that
lay
upon
him
)
and
charged
with
imagining
and
compassing
the
Kings
Death
;
the
overt
Act
whereof
was
commanding
the
Guard
at
his
Tryal
;
his
beating
the
Souldiers
for
not
crying
out
Justice
and
Execution
;
for
bidding
them
to
do
it
,
and
to
shoot
at
a
Lady
,
supposed
the
Lady
Fairfax
,
whom
he
there
termed
Whore
,
for
saying
that
Cromwel
was
a
Rogue
,
and
that
the
twentieth
part
of
the
People
never
consented
to
the
Tryal
of
the
King
.
For
defence
he
said
,
that
he
was
Commanded
thither
by
his
General
,
whom
the
Lords
and
Commons
had
Commissioned
:
that
they
had
declared
themselves
to
be
the
Interpreters
of
the
Law
;
and
if
he
had
not
obeyed
his
Generals
Command
,
he
was
then
liable
to
the
Punishment
:
that
that
Statute
of
25
Edward
the
3.
did
not
extend
to
private
persons
in
that
Case
:
that
Iermyn
,
Nichols
,
and
Thorpe
Judges
,
had
declared
,
that
it
was
lawful
and
justifiable
to
obey
the
Parliament
:
that
if
the
Collected
body
in
Parliament
be
guilty
of
Treason
,
where
will
they
find
a
Jury
to
try
him
in
the
distributed
part
of
the
People
?
(
Here
he
was
charged
for
being
one
of
those
that
actually
and
in
person
put
the
force
upon
the
House
,
by
Mr.
Annesly
,
and
made
the
Parliament
a
Juncto
.
)
To
this
he
answered
,
That
he
was
not
to
Justifie
that
fault
;
for
being
no
Statesman
,
he
did
as
commanded
:
produced
his
Commission
;
said
,
that
Fairfax
,
nay
General
Monke
were
guilty
for
acting
by
the
same
Commission
:
that
it
was
no
Treason
to
silence
a
Lady
that
spoke
impertinently
:
and
being
charged
with
smiling
at
the
same
time
,
he
said
that
was
no
Treason
;
that
he
was
set
there
to
keep
the
Peace
:
that
the
People
and
Souldiers
did
cry
Iustice
,
Iustice
;
&
to
quiet
the
Souldiers
,
he
might
beat
them
;
and
say
,
I
'le
Iustice
you
,
I
'le
Execution
you
.
That
at
the
worst
,
Justice
being
an
Attribute
of
God
,
it
were
no
Treason
to
require
it
;
and
that
the
execution
of
it
is
no
more
.
He
took
much
advantage
of
a
Witness
against
him
,
who
said
he
had
been
imprisoned
by
him
:
his
Evidence
was
about
hiring
the
Executioner
;
to
which
one
Nelson
likewise
,
and
Hewlet
was
named
.
That
,
as
Cook
said
before
,
he
neither
Sentenced
,
Signed
,
Sealed
,
nor
Sate
:
that
Throgmorton
in
Queen
Maries
days
was
acquitted
for
Words
:
that
Words
may
make
a
Heretick
,
not
a
Traytor
;
and
cited
Sir
Edward
Coke
,
urged
also
the
Statute
of
Hen.
7.
ayding
the
King
de
facto
.
He
was
answered
to
all
,
that
there
are
no
excuses
for
Treason
:
That
the
Parliament
could
never
give
any
Authority
to
Murther
the
King
,
nor
the
General
;
nor
was
it
in
his
Commission
to
Guard
the
Court
of
Justice
at
Westminster-Hall
,
nor
to
cry
for
Execution
:
that
any
of
those
things
was
an
Overt
Act
of
his
imagination
,
and
Proved
sufficiently
,
that
Justice
and
Execution
was
the
intent
of
Murthering
the
King
;
and
his
wrathful
Speech
to
the
Lady
discovered
it
.
After
a
little
Consultation
,
the
Jury
brought
him
in
guilty
;
to
whom
he
had
pleaded
his
Family
and
small
Children
.
Colonel
Hacker
Colonel
Francis
Hacker
was
the
next
.
He
was
Charged
with
Guarding
the
King
at
the
High
Court
of
Justice
;
of
taking
him
from
Colonel
Tomlinson
the
day
of
Execution
;
for
Signing
of
the
Warrant
of
Execution
to
him
that
did
it
,
(
writ
by
Cromwel
;
but
who
the
man
was
named
in
it
,
his
memory
could
not
tell
,
or
he
would
not
,
upon
much
inquisition
:
)
that
he
was
on
the
Scaffold
,
and
brought
the
King
thither
.
He
Pleaded
little
,
and
said
,
he
was
under
Authority
;
and
that
he
did
not
read
the
Warrant
that
Cromwel
writ
,
and
so
could
not
inform
the
Court
concerning
the
same
.
He
was
also
found
guilty
,
His
being
the
most
Overt
Act
in
compassing
the
Kings
Death
.
William
Hewlet
.
William
Hewlet
,
a
Serjeant
of
Colonel
Hewson's
Regiment
,
was
Indicted
for
being
the
man
that
was
in
the
Frock
,
and
cut
off
the
Kings
Head
:
it
was
averred
from
his
own
Confession
,
by
three
several
witnesses
;
and
as
many
attested
it
was
Brandon
the
Common
Executioner
:
that
he
,
viz.
the
Executioner
,
was
put
into
a
Boat
,
and
trembled
(
after
it
was
done
)
every
joynt
of
him
:
that
he
affirmed
as
much
to
the
Lord
Capel
at
his
Suffering
by
the
same
Axe
,
of
which
the
Executioner
assured
him
.
He
said
,
that
he
could
make
it
appear
he
was
not
upon
the
Scaffold
that
day
,
nor
near
it
,
for
that
he
and
other
Serjeants
were
secured
that
day
,
for
refusing
to
be
there
;
but
the
other
Witnesses
Evidence
being
express
,
He
was
found
guilty
.
The
Court
gave
him
all
the
advantage
that
could
be
,
and
reprieved
him
,
so
that
he
Suffered
not
.
Daniel
Harvey
The
other
of
the
Judges
that
rendred
themselves
upon
the
Proclamation
were
called
.
Mr.
Daniel
Harvey
was
called
first
,
who
pleaded
his
ignorance
,
and
no
malice
,
for
that
he
Signed
not
,
though
he
was
present
at
Sentence
:
then
he
proved
by
witness
his
Reluctancy
of
Conscience
,
his
endeavours
with
few
others
to
adjourn
the
Court
upon
the
Kings
motion
;
that
he
resolved
to
have
no
more
to
do
with
them
;
and
that
he
endeavoured
to
save
his
Life
.
Isaac
Pennington
.
Isaac
Pennington
next
,
Pleaded
his
ignorance
,
and
no
malice
,
and
utterly
refused
to
Sign
the
Warrant
.
Henry
Marten
Henry
Marten
,
against
whom
the
Sitting
,
Signing
,
and
Sealing
were
proved
,
and
also
that
at
the
meeting
of
the
High
Court
of
Justice
,
before
they
went
into
Westminster-Hall
,
being
in
the
Painted
Chamber
,
and
upon
the
Landing
of
the
King
from
White-Hall
to
Sir
Robert
Cotton's
House
;
Cromwel
upon
sight
thereof
,
asking
them
this
question
,
The
first
thing
the
King
will
demand
of
us
,
will
be
,
by
what
Authority
we
bring
him
before
us
;
what
shall
we
say
,
by
whose
Authority
?
After
a
little
pause
,
Marten
replyed
,
In
the
Name
and
Authority
of
the
Commons
in
Parliament
Assembled
,
and
the
good
People
of
England
.
To
this
he
answered
,
that
he
had
no
malice
to
the
King
.
It
was
replyed
,
It
is
evident
he
had
against
the
Government
.
Further
he
said
,
that
the
Commission
ran
in
the
name
of
the
good
people
,
and
so
it
was
no
great
matter
for
him
to
repeat
it
.
Here
Sir
Heneage
Finch
took
hold
,
and
gave
notice
to
the
Jury
of
the
entituling
the
good
people
to
it
,
and
hoped
they
would
be
none
of
them
;
and
observed
the
impenitence
of
the
Man
:
then
he
justified
the
Parliament
;
and
though
it
were
but
a
remnant
of
Parliament
,
yet
in
the
case
of
Commons
to
a
Cottage
,
if
a
stick
be
but
left
,
the
Commons
appertained
to
that
Cottage
.
He
added
conclusively
,
his
acquiescing
in
the
Royal
Government
,
since
the
King
was
called
in
by
the
People
in
Parliament
,
which
he
intimated
as
the
Kings
best
right
,
and
so
added
to
his
greater
Condemnation
.
Gilbert
Millington
Confessed
the
Fact
,
Gilbert
Millington
.
and
the
guilt
of
it
;
and
was
favoured
with
an
acceptance
of
it
from
the
Court.
Alderman
Tichburn
did
the
same
,
Alderman
Tichburn
.
with
much
candidness
declaring
his
sin
,
and
ignorance
of
the
atrocity
of
the
Crime
;
protested
his
inability
of
Contrivance
,
his
raw
years
,
his
unskilfulness
in
the
Laws
;
said
he
would
have
rather
gone
into
a
hot
Oven
than
into
this
business
,
if
he
had
known
it
;
instanced
that
Paul
was
a
Persecutor
,
and
found
Mercy
;
and
had
rendred
himself
,
with
the
three
before
,
upon
the
Proclamation
.
Owen
Roe
pleaded
the
same
,
Owen
Roe
.
and
his
reluctancy
to
the
Kings
Sentence
,
and
the
Proclamation
.
Colonel
Robert
Lilburn
did
the
same
;
Robert
Lilburn
.
mentioned
his
endeavour
for
withdrawing
the
Court
of
Justice
,
as
Mr.
Harvey
said
before
:
that
he
wept
and
mourned
the
day
of
the
Kings
Death
.
Mr.
Smith
pleaded
the
same
,
Mr.
Smith
.
and
desired
the
Courts
mediation
.
Iohn
Downes
,
Vincent
Potter
,
Augustine
Garland
,
Downs
,
Potter
,
Garland
,
&c.
Simon
Meyne
,
Iames
Temple
,
Peter
Temple
,
Thomas
Wayt
,
and
William
Heveningham
,
set
(
again
)
at
the
Bar.
Something
extraordinary
must
be
said
of
Downes
,
because
he
obliged
the
Court
to
hear
him
,
in
these
words
,
(
and
they
are
worthy
of
mans
memory
)
which
he
expressed
in
that
abominable
Judicature
,
upon
the
Kings
request
of
hearing
in
Parliament
,
as
he
sate
between
Colonel
Wauton
,
and
Mr.
Cawley
,
and
Oliver
Cromwel
[
said
I
,
Have
we
hearts
of
stone
,
or
are
we
men
?
They
laboured
to
appease
me
;
they
told
me
I
would
ruine
both
my self
and
them
.
Said
I
,
If
I
dye
for
it
,
I
must
do
it
.
Cromwel
sate
just
the
seat
below
me
.
He
hearing
of
me
make
some
stir
by
whispering
,
he
looked
at
me
,
and
asked
if
I
was
my self
;
what
I
meant
to
do
,
that
I
could
not
be
quiet
.
So
I
started
upon
the
nick
when
the
Clerk
was
Commanded
by
Bradshaw
to
Read
the
Sentence
,
I
stepped
up
and
said
,
My
Lords
,
I
have
Reasons
to
offer
against
it
,
and
I
desire
the
Court
may
adjourn
to
hear
me
.
Presently
Bradshaw
viewed
me
,
and
said
,
If
any
Member
dissented
,
they
must
adjourn
.
So
they
did
into
the
Court
of
Wards
,
where
I
alledged
the
Kings
general
satisfaction
to
the
Parliament
,
(
that
a
Common
Prisoner
was
not
used
so
,
but
that
he
might
be
heard
.
)
I
urged
the
Order
of
Parliament
,
that
upon
any
emergency
or
renata
in
the
Court
,
we
should
apply
our selves
to
them
.
To
which
Cromwel
answered
,
Sure
you
do
not
know
that
you
have
to
deal
with
the
hardest
hearted
man
in
England
.
And
much
other
incitation
was
used
by
some
of
those
that
are
doomed
(
whom
he
desired
favour
not
to
nominate
)
telling
me
I
was
either
a
Sceptick
or
an
Infidel

Vincent

and
could
hardly
endure
standing
;
and
had
a
Chair
to

himself

confessed

guilt
.
Augustine
Garland
was
further
accused
of

He
answered
,
he
was
a
Parliament
man
but
in
1648
,
and
drawn
into
this
business
,
and
desired
no
favour
from
God
if
he
was
guilty
of
that
inhumanity
;
to
avoid
which
imputation
he
made
this
troublesome
defence

and
buried

Axtel's
head
was
set
up
at
the
furthest
end
of
Westminster-Hall
.
To●
dye
impinitent
as
to
the
Fact
.
Not
any
one
of
these
at
his
Death
expressed
any
sorrow
or
Repentance
for
the
Fact
,
but
justified
the
Authority
by
which
they
did
it
,
and
themselves
therein
:
but
whether
they
agreed
now
,
by
a
Combination
at
their
death
,
as
in
the
Conspiracy
of
the
King
's
,
or
whether
it
were
not
Diabolical
infatuation
,
or
the
Sin
and
impiety
of
their
Crime
,
that
they
were
given
over
to
a
Reprobate
sense
,
it
is
not
in
man
to
determine
:
their
Party
and
Abettors
in
the
Rebellion
highly
magnified
this
their
obstinacy
for
Christian
Courage
,
and
printed
their
Prayers
and
Speeches
with
all
the
advantages
Revenge
and
Rebellion
could
invent
;
and
if
they
could
have
brought
the
Law
,
the
sense
of
the
Kingdome
,
nay
,
the
whole
Word
into
their
mould
,
they
might
have
passed
for
Martyrs
:
for
as
to
the
repugnant
s●ffrage
of
Divine
Authority
,
they
could
and
did
wrest
that
with
an
easie
finger
.
Thus
much
therefore
may
suffice
to
Posterity
concerning
the
ends
of
these
men
,
That
they
were
Convicted
according
to
Law
,
whose
utmost
benefit
they
had
,
by
a
Jury
of
their
Peers
,
against
whom
they
had
full
liberty
of
exception
:
That
the
Person
of
the
Prince
they
Murthered
,
was
(
beyond
any
parallel
)
by
the
confession
of
his
Enemies
,
of
some
of
these
[

*
Cook
the
Solicitor
.
,
a
most
virtuous
,
most
Innocent
,
most
Religious
,
and
Fit
for
the
Government
:
That
these
his
Judges
and
Murtherers
were
for
the
most
part
,
nay
generally
,
mean
and
desperate
persons
,
and
their
hands
lifted
up
by
Ambition
,
Sacriledge
,
Covetousness
,
and
success
,
against
the
Life
of
this
incomparable
Prince
,
whose
lamented
and
barbarous
Death
God
would
not
suffer
to
go
unrevenged
,
nor
His
own
sacred
Name
to
be
Blasphemed
,
as
not
only
said
by
them
to
be
the
Author
,
but
the
maintainer
of
this
impiety
.
And
it
is
remarkable
,
that
Hugh
Peters
,
who
by
his
Function
,
as
a
Priest
,
had
most
dishonoured
God
in
Preaching
and
pressing
this
Parricide
,
making
use
of
his
holy
Writ
to
this
same
wicked
purpose
,
most
plainly
discovered
the
footsteps
of
the
Divine
Vengeance
in
his
Tragedy
.
Hugh
Peters
's
stupidity
.
The
miserable
Wretch
had
not
a
word
to
say
for
himself
,
or
to
God
,
of
whom
he
said
he
was
abandoned
:
he
that
was
so
nimble
and
quick
in
all
Projects
of
this
nature
before
,
was
now
like
a
Sot
or
a
Fool
,
playing
with
the
Straw
in
the
Sledge
,
as
he
went
to
Execution
.
Of
which
his
sad
condition
,
Cook
,
his
fellow-sufferer
,
was
so
sensible
,
as
to
pray
for
some
respite
for
him
;
but
it
was
out
of
the
Sheriffs
power
,
who
attended
them
in
person
to
their
respective
Executions
.
It
was
observed
also
by
Scot
,
who
having
wished
the
mention
of
this
Fact
to
be
graven
on
his
Tomb
,
Digitus
Dei
hath
written
it
on
the
Gates
of
London
in
such
bloody
Characters
and
Hieroglyphicks
,
that
whoever
passes
cannot
but
read
it
.
Those
being
thus
Executed
,
Prisoners
that
came
in
upon
Proclamation
respited
.
the
other
Prisoners
that
came
in
upon
Proclamation
,
and
were
to
be
respited
from
Execution
till
the
pleasure
of
the
Parliament
should
be
known
,
were
after
Sentence
remitted
to
the
Tower
from
whence
they
came
,
their
Estates
being
seized
on
to
the
use
of
the
King
.
The
Quarters
of
the
other
had
not
long
been
set
up
,
but
a
report
was
raised
that
a
bright
Star
appeared
over
those
at
Aldgate
,
and
this
in
favour
of
these
Saints
as
they
were
termed
,
and
as
if
it
were
a
Constellation
of
their
bright
innocence
:
but
it
was
observed
and
known
to
be
the
Planet
Venus
then
in
her
greatest
Elongation
from
the
Sun
,
the
same
distance
as
their
Phanatical
stories
were
from
the
Truth
.
This
parentation
being
over
to
his
Father
,
His
Majesties
next
respects
were
due
to
his
Mother

Queen

whose
welcome
to
his
Kingdomes
he
could
not
better
manifest
,
or
oblige
to
her
,
than
by
rendring
them
innocent
and
free
of
that
horrible
guilt
which
had
divorced
her
from
her
Husband
,
and
estranged
her
from
his
People
.
Nor
was
it
just
or
civil
she
should
be
here
received
without
satisfaction
and
expiation
of
those
Crimes
,
the
very
tendencies
whereto
had
so
rudely
driven
her
to
seek
her
safety
abroad
.
The
King
brought
her
back
to
his
Palace
at
White-Hall
,
after
Nineteen
years
discontinuance
,
the
second
of
November
:
with
her
came
the
Illustrious
Princess

absence

of

Recess
of

Parliament
being
ended
,
The

the
Lords

met
again
in

to
resume
their
weighty
task
of
setling
the
Kingdoms
;
and
a
Council
for
Trade
now
began

sitting

Commission

dangerous
and
pestilent

daily
uttered

vented
,
especially
by
the
Fifth
Monarchists
at
their
Meeting-house
in
Coleman-street

other
places
,
and
Colonel
Overton
being
the
chief
man
of
that
perswasion
;
by
Order
of
the
Councel
he
was
seized
,
and
upon
some
further
information
against
him
committed
to
the
Tower
for
Treason
:
which
soon
after
appeared
,
in
some
of
his
Opinion

With
him
Mr.

the
Speakers

Committed
,
upon
suspicion
of
Counterfeiting

Upon
the
Kings
Restitution
,
the
Marquess
of
Arguile
had
the
confidence
to
come
up
from
Scotland
,
hoping
to
have
inveagled
and
obtained
his
Pardon
for
all
those
base
Treasons
he
had
acted
so
covertly
in
that
Kingdom
since
his
Majesties
departure
;

that
his
Majesty

according

his
gracious
inclination

would
have
past

those
many
undutiful
and
irreverent
usages
of
him
,
by
him
and
the
Kirk
,
while
He
was
there
among
them
:
but
such
was
the
general
hatred
and
detestation
of
that
People
(
and
especially
of
the
Nobility
)
against
him
,
that

He

Mr.

,
in
his
way
to

but
that
was
refused
:
from
thence
by

private
Funeral
;
in
the
narration
of
which
,
I
shall
crave
leave
for
this
digression
:
there
was
indeed
as
much
Honour
in
that
privacy
,
as
there
was
vain
and
profane
solemnity
in
the
gewgaw
Exequies
of
Oliver
,
which
wanted
of
their
due
Grandeurs
till
his
Execution
.
In
opposition
therefore
to
that
rabble
medley
of
a
Funeral
,
it
will
not
be
extravagant
to
set
down
,
here
,
the
Compact
,
yet
Illustrious
manner
of
this
Princess
,
to
shew
the
difference
betwixt
Princes
and
Ring-leaders
of
the
Rout.
On
Saturday
December
the
26
th
.
but
five
days
after
her
Decease
,
the
chiefest
of
the
Nobility
met
together
in
the
House
of
Peers
,
to
attend
the
Royal
Corpse
of
the
Princess
,
which
was
brought
about
Nine
a
Clock
at
Night
from
Somerset-House
thither
:
from
whence
they
proceeded
with
the
Funeral
,
Princess
of
Aurange
her
Funeral
,
Decemb.
26.
through
a
lane
of
Guards
of
the
Duke
of
Albermarl's
Regiment
of
Foot
.
First
,
went
several
Gentlemen
and
Knights
;
next
,
the
Servants
of
his
Highness
the
Duke
of
York
;
then
the
Servants
of
the
Queen
;
after
whom
came
his
Majesties
Servants
;
and
next
,
those
of
the
Deceased
Lady
:
then
two
Heraulds
before
Iames
Marquess
(
now
Duke
)
of
Ormond
Lord
Steward
of
his
Majesties
Houshold
,
and
Edward
Earl
of
Manchester
Lord
Chamberlain
of
the
same
;
after
whom
went
Edward
Lord
Hide
Lord
Chancellor
of
England
,
with
the
Purse
and
Mace
born
before
him
:
after
whom
came
another
Herauld
with
a
Coronet
upon
black
Velvet
;
and
then
the
Royal
Corpse
carried
by
her
own
Servants
,
the
Pall
being
supported
by
six
Earls
,
and
the
Canopy
carried
over
it
by
several
Baronets
.
His
Highness
the
Duke
of
York
(
as
principal
Mourner
)
followed
the
Corpse
with
a
Herauld
before
him
,
divers
persons
of
quality
bearing
his
Train
.
In
this
order
they
came
to
King
Henry
the
7th's
Chappel
,
where
she
was
Interred
in
a
Vault
particularly
set
apart
for
the
Royal
Line
.
This
Princess
,
and
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
who
preceded
her
to
Bliss
,
needed
no
Effigies
to
present
them
to
our
Eye
,
being
(
like
Vertue
)
not
to
be
Pictured
,
and
can
have
no
resemblances
but
in
the
mind
,
where
with
immortality
they
have
placed
their
Monuments
,
to
dure
and
last
with
Eternity
it self
.
E
contra
,
on
the
Thirtieth
of
Ianuary
,
that
the
Earth
might
no
longer
cover
the
Blood
which
was
impiously
and
traiterously
split
on
that
day
,
Vengeance
pursuing
those
wicked
miscreants
even
beyond
the
Sanctuary
of
the
Grave
,
the
odious
Carcasses
of
Cromwel
,
Sejanus
ducitur
unco
spectandus
,
gaudent
omnes
,
quae
labra
quis
illis
vultus
erat
?
Ireton
and
Bradshaw
,
were
digged
out
of
the
ground
,
from
those
sumptuous
Monuments
,
which
(
as
they
did
the
Throne
in
their
Life
)
they
had
now
Usurped
in
their
Death
:
they
were
drawn
in
a
Cart
from
Westminster
,
where
they
were
first
interred
,
to
the
Red
Lyon
in
Holborn
,
and
thence
on
Sledges
to
Tyborn
,
where
they
were
pulled
out
of
their
Coffins
,
and
hang'd
at
the
several
Angles
or
Corners
of
that
accursed
Tree
,
Cromwel
,
Ireton
and
Bradshaw
dig'd
up
and
hang'd
,
&c.
(
with
the
dregs
of
Peoples
Curses
and
Execrations
)
from
Ten
a
Clock
till
Sun-setting
,
and
then
cut
down
;
their
loathsome
Bodies
thrown
into
a
deep
hole
under
the
Gallows
:
their
Heads
cut
off
,
and
placed
aloft
upon
Westminster-Hall
.
Where
they
will
continue
the
Brand-marks
of
their
Posterity
,
and
the
expiatory
remains
of
their
accursed
Crime
.
Notwithstanding
the
seizing
of
many
suspected
Persons
,
Fifth
Monarchists
,
as
Colonel
Overton
,
of
whom
before
,
Cornet
Day
,
Courtney
,
Major
Allen
,
&c.
yet
that
Sect
persisted
in
a
Devilish
design
,
which
soon
after
,
in
the
beginning
of
Ianuary
,
they
thus
executed
.
This
strange
and
unheard-of
Action
will
afford
the
truest
sight
and
judgment
of
this
Fanatick
crew
,
Venner
's
Insurrection
.
even
beyond
all
Example
or
History
of
the
most
perdite
sort
of
men
:
For
but
a
handful
of
these
wild
People
dared
to
attempt
the
City
of
London
,
and
that
at
two
several
times
:
First
,
on
Sunday
the
Sixth
of
Ianuary
1660.
After
their
meeting
at
Coleman-street
in
the
same
City
(
having
then
a
gracious
Liberty
from
the
King
for
their
Devotion
)
they
Armed
themselves
,
and
came
to
St.
Pauls
in
the
Dusk
of
the
Evening
,
where
having
Mustered
and
ordered
their
small
Party
,
they
placed
Centinels
for
the
time
,
one
of
whom
killed
an
Innocent
Person
coming
by
accidentally
,
for
saying
,
(
when
he
was
demanded
by
them
who
he
was
for
)
For
God
and
King
Charles
.
After
this
Exploit
the
Alarm
being
given
,
and
some
Parties
of
the
Trained
Bands
coming
upon
them
and
Charging
them
,
after
they
had
repulsed
those
few
Files
,
they
Marched
to
Bishops-gate
,
where
they
passed
,
and
from
thence
to
Cripple-gate
,
where
they
came
into
the
City
again
,
and
so
to
Aldersgate
,
where
the
Constable
(
being
weakly
attended
)
at
their
threatning
him
for
the
Keys
,
let
them
out
again
.
Here
they
declared
themselves
for
King
Iesus
,
and
their
Friends
or
Masters
upon
the
Gates
:
Thence
they
proceeded
to
Beech-lane
,
where
a
Headborough
opposing
them
,
they
shot
him
,
and
killed
him
.
[
It
is
observable
,
that
none
whomsoever
,
or
wheresoever
they
shot
,
recovered
of
the
hurt
;
it
being
conceived
they
poysoned
their
Bullets
and
Slugs
,
by
chawing
or
other
destructive
Art
.
]
And
so
with
all
haste
made
towards
Canewood
,
where
they
lurked
a
while
,
resolving
to
make
another
Insurrection
in
the
City
,
till
they
were
routed
by
a
Party
of
Horse
and
Foot
sent
to
drive
them
out
thence
,
and
some
Thirty
taken
Prisoners
and
brought
before
the
General
,
who
sent
them
to
the
Gate-house
.
Notwithstanding
the
others
,
after
they
had
quitted
the
Wood
,
returned
for
London
,
with
assurance
of
success
in
their
begun
enterprize
;
Venner
telling
them
(
a
Wine-Cooper
by
Trade
)
he
was
assured
that
no
Weapons
formed
against
them
should
prosper
,
nor
a
hair
of
their
Head
be
touched
;
which
their
impunity
in
their
first
attempt
made
them
very
credulous
of
,
even
to
an
absolute
confidence
.
It
may
not
be
omitted
,
that
just
before
this
sudden
eruption
,
the
King
was
gone
to
Conduct
his
Mother
and
Sister
(
who
feared
the
same
mortal
Infection
of
the
small
Pox
,
and
had
had
some
grudges
thereof
)
to
Portsmouth
,
in
order
to
their
Embarquing
for
France
;
which
opportunity
they
took
for
their
Rebellious
Tumult
,
having
disposed
,
as
they
thought
,
the
minds
of
their
late
Party
to
take
part
with
them
,
by
their
Declaration
,
called
,
A
door
of
Hope
opened
,
stuft
with
abominable
slanders
against
the
whole
Royal
Family
,
and
the
General
,
who
(
with
the
Duke
of
York
)
appeared
presently
with
part
of
the
Life-Guards
to
suppress
them
.
To
proceed
:
on
Wednesday-morning
,
Ianuary
the
Ninth
,
after
the
Watches
and
Guards
were
removed
,
they
re-inforced
their
first
Enterprize
.
Their
first
effort
and
appearance
was
at
Thredneedle-street
,
where
they
alarm'd
the
Trained
Band
that
was
to
watch
all
that
Day
;
a
Party
of
whom
being
sent
out
to
follow
them
,
were
forced
to
retreat
to
their
Mainguard
;
who
Marching
in
a
Body
towards
them
,
the
Fifth-Monarchists
retreated
into
Bishops-gate-street
,
some
of
them
into
an
Ale-house
known
by
the
Sign
of
the
Helmet
,
where
,
after
a
sharp
Dispute
,
two
were
killed
,
and
as
many
taken
;
the
same
number
being
killed
and
wounded
of
the
Trained-Bands
.
The
next
sight
of
them
(
for
they
were
just
like
wild-fire
)
was
at
Golledg-Hill
,
by
which
way
they
went
up
into
Cheapside
,
and
so
into
Wood-street
,
Venner
being
their
chief
Leader
,
having
a
Murrion
on
his
Head
,
and
a
Halbert
in
his
Hand
.
Here
was
the
main
and
fiercest
Action
;
for
they
fought
stoutly
with
two
of
the
Trained-Bands
of
Foot
,
in
very
good
Discipline
and
Order
.
Here
also
they
received
a
Charge
from
the
Horse
of
the
Life-Guard
,
whom
they
put
to
the
Retreat
,
till
being
over-powr'd
,
and
Venner
knockt
down
and
wounded
with
Shot
,
Tufney
and
Crag
,
two
more
of
the
chief
of
their
Teachers
being
killed
by
him
,
they
began
to
give
ground
,
and
soon
after
dispersed
themselves
in
flight
,
taking
several
routs
and
ways
.
The
greatest
part
of
them
went
down
Wood-street
to
Cripple-gate
,
firing
in
the
Rear
at
the
Trained-Bands
of
Yellow
,
then
in
close
pursuit
of
them
.
This
Train-Band
lodged
ten
of
them
in
the
Blew-Anchor
Alehouse
by
the
Postern
;
which
house
they
maintained
.
Soon
after
came
Lieutenant-Colonel
Cox
with
his
Company
,
and
surrounded
all
places
about
it
.
In
the
interim
,
part
of
the
Yellow
aforesaid
had
gotten
up
into
the
Tylings
of
the
next
House
,
which
they
threw
off
,
and
fired
in
,
the
Rebels
being
in
the
uppermost
Room
,
who
even
then
refused
Quarter
;
when
at
the
very
same
time
another
File
of
Muskets
got
up
the
Stairs
,
and
having
shot
down
the
door
,
entred
upon
them
:
six
of
them
were
killed
before
,
another
wounded
,
and
one
refusing
of
Quarter
,
then
also
was
knockt
down
with
the
But-end
,
and
afterwards
shot
with
a
Musket
.
The
rest
being
demanded
why
they
craved
not
quarter
before
?
answered
,
They
durst
not
,
for
fear
their
own
Fellows
should
shoot
them
;
such
was
their
Resolution
and
Desperation
.
The
whole
number
of
this
last
Insurrection
cannot
be
reckoned
to
more
than
Fifty
Persons
:
though
not
above
Forty
were
ever
seen
together
,
yet
so
great
was
their
confidence
in
the
Revelations
of
their
Teachers
,
that
they
presumed
to
Subdue
and
Conquer
with
that
small
remnant
,
alluding
to
that
History
of
Gideon
recorded
in
Holy
Writ
;
admitting
of
no
other
Sect
but
the
Quakers
,
(
and
but
those
also
who
agreed
with
them
in
the
Tenet
of
their
Monarchy
)
being
the
nearest
of
Affinity
to
their
Enthusiastick
Opinions
,
to
have
the
honour
of
partaking
with
them
in
this
their
great
and
glorious
Design
,
as
they
termed
it
in
their
aforesaid
Declaration
;
wherein
they
further
Blasphemously
said
,
That
if
they
were
deceived
or
misled
,
't
was
God
that
deceived
them
;
laying
their
delusions
,
and
charging
their
sinful
and
desperate
folly
upon
him
as
the
Author
.
In
this
Tumult
and
Rebellious
Insurrection
were
slain
of
the
Kings
People
Twenty
two
,
and
as
many
of
the
Traytors
,
most
whereof
were
killed
in
Houses
;
and
some
after
being
taken
Prisoners
,
for
refusing
to
tell
their
Names
were
presently
shot
.
There
were
taken
Twenty
,
besides
a
few
upon
suspicion
:
the
Twenty
were
as
followeth
,
viz.
Thomas
Venner
the
Wine-cooper
their
Captain
,
Roger
Hodgkins
a
Button-seller
in
St.
Clements-lane
Lumbard-street
;
Leonard
Gowler
,
Ionas
Allen
,
Iohn
Pym
,
William
Orsingham
,
William
Ashton
,
Giles
Pritchard
A
Cow-keeper
,
Stephen
Fall
,
Iohn
Smith
,
William
Corbet
,
Iohn
Dod
,
Iohn
Elston
,
Thomas
Harris
,
Iohn
Gardener
,
Robert
Bradley
,
Richard
Marten
,
Iohn
Patshal
,
Robert
Hopkins
,
and
Iohn
Wells
;
five
of
these
had
been
in
the
design
against
Oliver
,
as
before
.
These
were
brought
to
the
Bar
together
;
the
Wounded-men
had
Chairs
allowed
them
:
and
after
the
Indictment
read
to
them
,
which
was
laid
both
to
Treason
and
Murther
,
Thomas
Venner
was
first
called
,
who
,
when
he
had
held
up
his
hand
at
his
Arraignment
,
being
asked
Guilty
,
or
Not
Guilty
,
began
a
wild
Phanatique
discourse
about
his
Conversation
in
New
England
,
and
concerning
the
Fifth
Monarchy
,
and
the
Testimony
within
him
above
these
Twenty
years
,
with
such
like
impertinent
discourses
and
stories
.
He
confessed
he
was
in
the
late
Rising
,
but
was
not
guilty
of
Treason
,
intending
not
to
levy
War
against
the
King
;
and
so
sallied
out
into
the
same
nonsensical
defences
as
at
first
:
but
at
the
Court's
instance
of
his
Pleading
directly
to
the
Indictment
,
he
answered
Not
Guilty
,
and
put
himself
upon
his
Country
.
In
the
like
manner
Hodgkins
,
after
some
rambling
diversions
from
his
present
Business
,
and
the
Threats
of
the
Court
of
his
being
Recorded
Mute
,
and
the
submission
of
the
rest
of
his
Fellows
,
(
who
all
pleaded
,
after
some
previous
excursions
in
their
way
and
manner
)
pleaded
likewise
to
the
Indictment
:
whereupon
the
Witnesses
being
sworn
,
two
against
every
particular
Person
,
they
made
it
appear
,
That
Venner
,
Tufney
,
and
Cragg
,
(
the
two
last
whereof
were
slain
in
the
Business
)
did
several
times
perswade
their
Congregation
to
take
up
Arms
for
King
Jesus
,
against
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
(
which
were
his
Majesty
,
the
Duke
of
York
and
the
General
:
)
That
they
were
to
kill
all
that
opposed
them
:
That
they
had
been
Praying
and
Preaching
,
but
not
Acting
for
God
:
That
they
Armed
themselves
at
their
Meeting-house
in
Coleman-street
with
Blunderbusses
,
Musquets
,
&c.
and
other
particular
Evidence
against
each
to
matter
of
Fact
.
The
proof
against
Martin
,
Hopkins
and
Wells
was
not
so
full
,
and
against
Patshal
only
one
Witness
;
who
were
acquitted
by
the
Jury
.
The
other
sixteen
being
found
Guilty
,
and
brought
to
the
Bar
,
were
demanded
to
shew
Cause
why
Sentence
should
not
pass
against
them
,
&c.
The
Lord
Chief
Justice
Foster
charging
this
Venner
with
the
Blood
of
his
Complices
by
his
Seduction
and
leading
of
them
;
He
answered
,
He
did
not
.
To
which
the
Witnesses
being
produced
again
,
he
Blasphemously
quibled
,
and
said
,
It
was
not
he
,
but
Iesus
that
led
them
.
Three
of
them
confest
their
Crime
and
Error
,
and
craved
Mercy
;
so
they
were
all
sixteen
Condemned
to
be
Hang'd
,
Drawn
,
and
Quartered
.
According
to
which
Sentence
,
on
Saturday
Ianuary
19
▪
1660
,
Venner
and
Hodgkins
(
both
uncured
of
the
Wounds
they
received
in
their
Rebellion
)
being
guarded
by
two
Companies
of
the
Trained-Bands
,
were
drawn
on
a
Sledge
from
Newgate
through
Cheapside
,
over
against
their
Meeting-house
in
Swar-Alley
in
Coleman-street
,
and
Executed
according
to
their
Sentence
.
Venner
spoke
little
but
in
vindication
of
himself
and
his
Fact
,
and
something
of
his
Opinion
,
being
confident
the
Time
was
at
hand
when
other
Iudgment
would
be
;
There
were
two
Executed
in
Cheap-side
the
same
day
Prichard
the
Cow-keeper
and
another
of
them
.
reflecting
much
upon
the
Government
.
The
other
,
Hodgkins
,
raved
and
cursed
in
manner
of
Praying
,
calling
down
Vengeance
from
Heaven
upon
the
King
,
the
Iudges
,
and
the
City
of
London
;
nor
would
he
give
over
,
though
the
Sheriff
forbad
him
to
run
on
in
that
strange
way
,
until
the
Hang-man
was
hastned
from
his
Imployment
of
Quartering
Venner
,
to
turn
him
off
;
so
as
in
that
mad
Religion
they
lived
,
in
the
same
they
dyed
.
Their
Quarters
were
set
upon
the
Four
Gates
of
the
City
by
the
late
Executed
Regicides
,
whose
Quarrel
and
Revenge
they
undertook
in
this
their
Phanatique
Attempt
;
their
Heads
also
set
upon
Poles
by
some
of
them
on
London-Bridge
.
On
Munday
the
Twenty
first
of
Ianuary
Nine
more
of
them
were
Executed
all
in
one
Morning
,
at
five
several
places
,
by
one
Executioner
;
Two
at
the
West-end
of
St.
Pauls
,
two
at
the
B●ll
and
Mouth
,
two
at
Beech-lane
,
Two
at
the
Royal
Exchange
;
and
a
notable
Fellow
,
the
last
,
by
name
Leonard
Gowler
,
at
Bishops-Gate
.
They
all
obstinately
persisted
in
their
Error
(
especially
the
last
,
who
began
with
Imprecations
like
Hodgkins
,
and
was
silenced
the
same
way
by
the
Command
of
the
Sheriff
)
excepting
a
Young
man
who
was
Harged
in
Redcross-street
,
who
did
relent
and
Repent
of
his
Sin
,
and
the
Blood
he
had
spilt
,
but
yet
dyed
in
the
Opinion
of
Chilianism
.
After
they
were
cut
down
,
the
Sentence
was
not
Executed
upon
them
to
the
full
,
only
their
Heads
were
cut
off
,
and
set
upon
London-Bridge
.
Most
remarkable
was
the
prudence
and
valour
of
the
Right
Honorable
Sir
Richard
Brown
the
Lord
Major
,
in
this
tumultuary
and
dangerous
Insurrection
.
He
it
was
whom
they
designed
as
a
Sacrifice
to
their
first
outrages
;
and
had
they
met
with
a
person
of
indifferency
of
Spirit
,
had
undoubtedly
surprized
the
Magistracy
and
Government
of
this
Famous
City
,
and
in
him
subdued
(
their
great
Quarrel
)
Authority
.
Sir
Arthur
Hazelrig
dies
.
Sir
Arthur
Haslerig
died
a
Prisoner
in
the
Tower
of
London
,
with
impatience
at
the
happiness
of
the
Times
;
and
Mr.
Crofton
,
an
eminent
stickler
for
Presbytery
,
came
in-his
room
.
Mr.
Crofton
committed
.
But
we
must
pass
to
the
Glories
of
the
entrance
of
the
Year
One
thousand
six
hundred
sixty
one
,
the
Thirteenth
of
the
Kings
Reign
.
Anno
Domini
1661.
AND
now
,
lest
any
of
these
scattered
Rays
and
refractions
of
this
Monarchs
Glory
should
be
dimmed
or
disappear
in
the
obscurity
of
Time
,
we
will
translate
them
to
their
bright
Orb
(
as
Iupiter
is
feigned
to
have
Stellified
his
Heroes
)
encircle
them
in
the
Diadem
,
Eternize
them
in
that
Spherical
Figure
,
and
fix
them
in
his
Crown
,
the
FIRMAMENT
of
his
past
,
present
,
and
future
greatness
:
the
Celebrity
of
which
Action
is
not
less
due
to
the
intrinsick
matter
,
than
to
the
outward
beauteous
form
;
it
being
not
so
much
an
excess
of
Pomp
,
as
a
Boundary
of
Government
;
not
so
much
height
of
Glory
,
as
profoundness
of
State-reason
;
and
in
that
large
capaciousness
may
justly
pass
for
the
consummation
and
perfect
excellence
of
all
Regal
felicity
.
This
,
was
the
Crown
profaned
by
the
lewd
hands
of
those
prostitute
Members
at
Westminster
,
when
the
Regalia
were
seized
on
by
them
,
and
by
H.
M.
his
advice
thought
fit
to
be
alienated
to
the
Publique
,
that
is
,
shared
among
the
Usurpers
.
This
was
the
Crown
,
afterwards
violated
,
deprived
,
and
widdowed
of
that
Sacred
and
Royal
Head
of
King
Charles
the
Martyr
.
This
was
the
Crown
which
alone
of
all
the
Insignia
of
Majesty
,
(
as
Elijah
of
all
the
Prophets
that
had
not
bowed
their
knees
to
Baal
)
abhorred
the
Idolatry
of
Cromwel's
Usurpation
,
and
escaped
the
ravishing
and
polluted
hands
of
that
Tyrant
,
when
like
Caligula
,
that
set
the
heads
of
the
gods
upon
his
own
Statues
,
he
assumed
all
the
other
Regalities
of
his
rightful
Soveraign
,
but
could
no
way
fit
this
Sacred
Symbole
of
Majesty
(
though
he
could
all
other
Holy
things
,
and
the
Scripture
it self
,
)
to
his
impious
designments
.
That
was
that
Crown
which
the
Malignity
of
a
dire
Pestilence
had
envied
the
sight
and
blessing
thereof
to
the
City
of
London
,
his
Majesties
Imperial
Chamber
(
which
sadly
felt
the
other
Plagues
of
War
and
Want
in
a
more
forcible
absence
of
it
thereafter
)
at
his
Royal
Fathers
Inauguration
,
and
was
now
Boded
and
bespoke
with
the
like
Contagion
;
when
never
were
the
Influences
of
Heaven
more
curiously
propitious
,
the
two
Serene
days
of
that
Solemnity
exsiccating
and
exhaling
those
vapours
,
which
a
long
moisture
to
the
danger
of
a
Flood
did
seem
to
portend
.
Lastly
,
this
was
that
Crown
,
whose
just
and
ancient
Discent
,
under
which
we
have
flourished
ever
since
we
were
a
Nation
,
till
our
late
Anarchy
;
upon
the
Head
of
this
Miraculous
Prince
,
now
vindicated
it self
from
the
indignities
and
assaults
of
base
and
insolent
Demagogues
,
who
from
our
Kings
regardlesness
of
State
and
Sovereignty
,
have
evermore
wrought
their
contempt
in
the
Subject
:
who
now
,
with
a
like
joy
of
reverence
,
fear
,
and
love
,
beheld
this
awful
and
most
delightful
Triumph
which
is
here
related
.
HIS
Majesty
on
the
Twenty
second
of
April
early
in
the
Morning
passed
from
Whitehall
to
the
Tower
by
Water
,
from
thence
to
go
through
the
City
to
Westminster
Abby
,
there
to
be
Crowned
.
Two
days
were
allotted
to
the
Consummation
of
this
great
and
most
celebrated
Action
,
the
wonder
,
and
admiration
,
and
delight
of
all
Persons
both
Forraign
and
Domestick
:
and
pity
it
was
,
that
the
solid
and
lasting
happiness
it
portended
should
not
have
taken
up
a
Month
,
and
given
it
the
name
Coronalis
.
First
therefore
we
begin
with
the
City
of
London
,
The
King●s
passage
through
London
to
his
Coronation
.
which
participating
the
greatest
share
of
that
inexpressible
happiness
that
the
Three
Kingdoms
received
by
the
auspicious
Restoration
of
the
King
,
took
occasion
to
express
in
this
Triumph
of
his
Majesties
Coronation
their
joy
and
gladness
with
the
greatest
Magnificence
imaginable
:
They
spared
not
therein
any
cost
to
manifest
their
affectionate
duty
to
the
King
,
considering
,
that
if
ever
excessive
charges
might
be
justified
,
this
signalizing
their
affection
at
this
time
might
well
be
allowed
.
In
his
passage
through
Crouched
Friers
,
He
was
entertained
with
Musick
,
a
Band
of
Eight
Waits
,
placed
on
a
Stage
.
Near
Algate
,
with
another
Band
of
Six
Waits
in
like
manner
,
with
Musick
,
from
a
Balcony
.
In
Leaden-Hall
Street
,
near
Lime-Street-end
,
was
Erected
the
First
Triumphal
Arch
after
the
Dorick
Order
:
on
the
North-side
,
on
a
Pedestal
,
before
the

,
was
a
Woman
personating
REBELLION
,
mounted
on
a

,
in
a
Crimson

torn

Snakes
crawling

Snaky
;
a
Crown
of
Fire
on
her
Head
;
a
bloody
Sword
in
one
hand
,
a

Rod
in
the
other
.
Her
attendant
,
CONFUSION
,
in
a
deformed
Shape
,
a
Garment
of
several
ill-matched
Colours
,
and
put
on
the
wrong
way
;
on
her
Head
Ruines
of
Castles
;
torn
Crowns
,
and
broken
Scepters
in
each
Hand
.
On
the
South-Pedestal
was
a
Representation
of
BRITAIN'S
MONARCHY
,
supported
by
LOYALTY
,
both
Women
;
Monarchy
in
a
large
purple
Robe
,
adorn'd
with
Diadems
and
Scepters
;
over
which
,
a
loose
Mantle
,
edg'd
with

and
silver
Fringe
,
resembling

Marriage
with

,
at

,
to

,
Gallantry

Riches
,
unto
this

Illustrious
Cavalcade
.
Which

The

was
guarded
by
the
Hamlets
,
from
thence
to
Temple-Bar
by
the
Trained-Bands
of
London
,
on
one
side
,
and
lined
with
the
Liveries
on
the
other
side
,
with
the
Banners
of
each
Company
.
The
Windows
were
all
along
laid
with
the
best
Carpets
and
Tapestry
;
Bands
of
Musick
in
several
places
,
and
the
Conduits
running
with
Wine
.
In
St.
Pauls
Church-yard
stood
the
Blew-coat
boys
of
Christ-Church
Hospital
.
One
in
behalf
of
the
rest
declared
their
joy
for
his
Majesties
wonderful
preservation
in
his
absence
,
and
his
Arrival
thither
;
humbly
beseeching
his
Majesties
Gracious
favour
and
indulgence
,
according
to
the
example
of
his
Royal
Ancestors
,
and
his
Father
of
blessed
memory
.
The
King
was
very
well
pleased
with
this
Speech
,
and
after
conferred
something
on
the
Boy
that
spoke
it
.
In
the
Strand
,
and
through
Westminster
also
the
ways
were
gravelled
and
rayled
,
being
guarded
on
both
sides
with
the
Trained
bands
of
that
Liberty
and
City
;
and
his
Majesties
two
Regiments
of
Foot
,
under
the
command
of
his
Grace
the
Duke
of
Albemarle
,
and
Colonel
Russel
brother
to
the
Earl
of
Bedford
.
The
houses
were
also
richly
adorned
with
the
Carpets
and
Tapestry
;
and
Musick
,
(
particularly
a
stage
of
Morice-dancers
at
the
Maypole
in
the
Strand
)
in
the
several
places
all
along
his
Majesties
passage
.
When
his
Majesty
came
through
Temple-bar
into
his
Antient
and
Native
City
of
Westminster
,
the
Head-bayliff
in
a
Scarlet
Robe
,
and
High
Constable
in
Scarlet
,
received
his
Majesty
with
loud
Musick
;
where
alighting
off
their
horses
,
and
kneeling
down
to
his
Majesty
,
the
Head-bayliff
on
behalf
of
the
Dean
and
Chapter
,
City
and
Liberty
,
signified
their
joyful
reception
of
his
Royal
person
into
that
Liberty
;
declaring
how
much
more
happy
they
were
than
any
part
of
the
Nation
,
in
that
their
Sovereign
Lord
and
King
was
born
within
their
Liberty
,
and
humbly
desiring
his
Majesty
to
continue
his
Grace
and
Favour
still
to
them
,
whereby
that
City
might
still
be
enabled
to
do
his
Majesties
Service
.
When
the
Head-Bayliff
had
ended
his
Speech
,
he
and
the
High-Constable
mounted
their
Horses
,
and
fell
in
next
after
his
Majesties
Servants
at
Mace
;
in
which
order
they
attended
his
Majesty
to
White-hall
.
Infinite
and
innumerable
were
the
Acclamations
and
Shouts
from
all
the
parts
as
his
Majesty
passed
along
,
to
the
no
less
joy
than
●mazement
of
the
Spectators
,
who
beheld
those
glorious
Personages
that
rid
before
and
behinde
his
Majesty
.
Indeed
it
were
in
vain
to
attempt
to
express
this
Solemnity
,
it
was
so
far
from
being
utterable
,
that
it
is
almost
inconceiveable
:
and
much
wonder
it
caused
in
Outlandish
persons
,
who
were
acquainted
with
our
late
Troubles
and
Confusions
,
(
to
the
ruine
almost
of
three
Kingdoms
)
which
way
it
was
possible
for
the
English
to
appear
in
so
Rich
and
Stately
a
manner
.
It
is
incredible
to
think
what
costly
Cloathes
were
worn
that
day
;
the
Cloaks
could
hardly
be
seen
what
Silk
or
Sattin
they
were
made
of
,
for
the
Gold
and
Silver-Laces
and
Embroidery
that
was
laid
upon
them
:
the
like
also
was
seen
in
their
Foot-cloaths
.
Besides
the
inestimable
value
and
treasures
of
Diamonds
,
Pearl
and
other
Jewels
,
worn
upon
their
Backs
and
in
their
Hats
:
To
omit
also
the
sumptuous
and
rich
Liveries
of
their
Pages
and
Footmen
;
(
some
suits
of
Liveries
amounting
to
fifteen
hundred
pounds
;
)
the
numerousness
of
these
Liveries
,
and
the
orderly
march
of
them
;
as
also
the
stately
Equipage
of
the
Esquires
attending
each
Earl
by
his
Horse-side
:
so
that
all
the
World
that
saw
it
,
could
not
but
confess
,
that
what
they
had
seen
before
,
was
but
solemn
Mummery
,
to
the
most
August
,
noble
and
true
Glories
of
this
great
day
.
In
this
order
the
King
arrived
at
White-hall
a
good
time
before
the
Evening
,
and
then
retired
himself
to
Supper
,
and
so
to
his
Rest
,
to
recommence
the
next
day
,
and
to
put
an
end
to
this
Triumph
.
On
the
23
of
April
,
St.
George's
day
,
to
consummate
the
Coronation
,
the
King
came
from
his
Privy-stairs
to
the
Old
Palace
,
to
a
Room
called
the
Princes
Lodgings
,
behinde
the
House
of
Lords
,
and
stayed
there
till
the
Lords
and
his
Train
had
Robed
and
ranked
themselves
in
Westminster-hall
;
who
being
ready
,
the
King
placed
himself
on
a
Throne
at
the
upper
end
thereof
,
when
the
Dean
of
Westminster
(
with
the
Prebends
in
their
rich
Copes
,
each
having
a
part
of
the
Regalia
)
with
St.
Edward's
Crown
,
came
and
delivered
them
to
the
Lord
High-Constable
,
and
he
to
the
Lord
Great
Chamberlain
,
who
set
them
on
a
Table
;
and
the
King
immediately
bestowed
them
on
this
manner
;
(
Sir
Gilbert
Talbot
the
Master
of
the
Kings
Jewels
,
having
laid
the
Sword
of
State
and
Sword
called
Curtana
with
two
others
on
the

)
St.

,

of

,
the

of

to

,
the

with

to
the
Duke
of

,
the
Orb
with
the
Cross
to
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
St.
Edwards
Crown
to
the
Duke
of
Ormond
,
the
Patina
to
the
Bishop
of
Exeter
,
and
the
Chalice
to
the
Bishop
of
London
:
and
then
his
Majesty
set
forward
on
foot
(
in
the
same
order
as
before
almost
)
upon
blue
Cloath
laid
upon
the
ground
from
the
Hall
to
his
Chair
in
the
Abbey
,
The
Kings
procession
to
the
Abbey
.
by
the
appointment
of
Sir
George
Carteret
,
His
Almoner
appointed
for
that
day
.
The
King
was
supported
by
the
Lord-Bishops
of
Bath
and
Durham
;
his
Train
was
carried
up
by
the
Lords
Mandevil
,
Cavendish
,
Ossery
,
and
Percy
,
assisted
by
the
Lord
Viscount
Ma●sfield
,
Master
of
the
Robes
:
then
came
the
Earl
of
Lauderdale
Gent.
of
his
Majesties
Bed-chamber
,
next
came
Mr.
Seymore
,
Mr.
Ashburnham
,
Grooms
of
the
same
,
the
Captain
of
the
Guard
,
Captain
of
the
Pensioners
,
and
Yeomen
.
All
the
Peers
with
their
Coronets
in
their
hands
came
up
along
with
his
Majesty
,
till
his
Majesty
was
placed
in
a
Chair
of
State
(
not
in
his
Throne
:
)
then
the
Lord
Bishop
of
London
▪
for
the
Lord
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
went
to
every
of
the
four-sides
of
the
Throne
,
and
at
every
of
them
spoke
to
the
People
in
these
words
.
Here
I
present
unto
you
KING
CHARLES
the
rightful
Inheritor
of
the
Crown
of
this
Realm
.
Wherefore
all
you
that
are
come
this
day
to
do
your
Homage
,
Service
,
and
bounden
duty
,
be
ye
willing
to
do
the
same
?
Whereupon
all
the
Peers
in
their
Parliament-Robes
,
and
People
,
gave
a
shout
,
testifying
their
willingness
.
This
while
the
King
standing
from
his
Chair
,
turned
himself
to
every
of
the
four
sides
of
the
Throne
,
and
at
every
of
them
spake
to
the
People
,
who
again
with
loud
acclamations
signified
their
willingness
all
in
one
voice
.
After
which
the
Choire
sung
an
Anthem
,
in
the
interim
whereof
his
Majesty
,
Supported
by
the
two
Bishops
of
Durham
and
Bath
and
Wells
,
and
attended
by
the
Dean
of
Westminster
,
went
to
the
steps
before
the
Communion-Table
,
where
upon
Carpets
and
Cushions
the
King
offered
a
Pall
and
a
piece
of
Gold
.
After
his
Majesty
had
offered
,
he
went
on
the
right
hand
,
and
kneeled
down
during
a
short
Collect
or
Prayer
;
and
then
Sermon
began
,
which
was
Preached
by
the
Lord
Bishop
of
WORCESTER
.
Sermon
being
ended
,
the
Lord-Bishop
of
LONDON
went
to
the
King
,
for
the
Lord
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
and
asked
if
he
were
pleased
to
take
the
Oath
usually
taken
by
his
Predecessors
;
to
which
his
Majesty
shewed
himself
most
willing
.
Then
his
Majesty
rose
out
of
his
Chair
,
and
by
those
two
that
before
Assisted
Him
,
was
led
up
to
the
Communion-Table
,
where
he
made
a
solemn
Oath
to
observe
those
things
he
had
before
promised
.
After
this
Oath
,
the
King
returned
to
his
Chair
,
and
kneeled
at
his
foot-stool
,
while
the
Hymn
of
the
Holy
Ghost
was
singing
;
which
ended
,
the
Letany
was
sung
by
two
Bishops
.
After
which
,
the
Lord
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
began
and
said
,
Lift
up
your
hearts
,
&c.
Then
his
Majesty
arose
from
his
Devotion
,
and
dis-robed
himself
of
his
upper
Garment
(
his
under
Garment
being
so
made
,
as
the
places
to
be
anointed
might
be
opened
by
undoing
certain
loops
;
which
the
Arch-Bishop
undid
,
his
Majesty
sitting
in
a
Chair
.
)
The
Archbishop
first
Anointed
the
Palms
of
both
his
hands
,
the
Choire
singing
an
Anthem
;
after
which
and
certain
Prayers
,
the
Lord
Arch-bishop
proceeded
and
anointed
his
breast
between
the
shoulders
,
on
both
the
shoulders
,
the
bending
of
his
Arms
,
and
the
Crown
of
his
Head
:
whereupon
the
Dean
of
Westminster
closed
the
Loops
,
and
the
Lord
Arch-bishop
said
several
Prayers
;
which
ended
,
the
Coif
was
put
on
His
Majesties
Head
,
and
the
Colobium
syndonis
or
Dalmatica
,
then
the
Super-tunica
of
cloth
of
Gold
,
with
the
Tissue
buskins
and
Sandals
of
the
same
;
then
the
Spurs
were
put
on
by
the
Peer
that
carried
them
:
then
the
Arch-bishop
took
the
Kings
Sword
and
laid
it
on
the
Communion-Table
,
and
after
Prayer
restored
it
to
the
King
,
which
was
Girt
upon
him
by
the
Lord
great
Chamberlain
:
then
the
Armil
was
put
on
,
next
the
Mantle
,
or
open
Pall
;
after
which
,
the
Lord
Arch-bishop
took
the
Crown
into
his
hands
,
and
laid
it
on
the
Communion-Table
,
Prayed
,
and
then
set
it
on
the
Kings
Head
;
whereupon
,
all
the
Peers
put
on
their
Coronets
and
Caps
,
the
Choire
singing
an
Anthem
:
next
,
the
Arch-Bishop
took
the
Kings
Ring
,
prayed
again
,
and
put
it
on
the
Fourth
Finger
of
the
Kings
Hand
;
after
which
his
Majesty
took
off
his
Sword
,
and
offered
it
up
;
which
the
Lord
great
Chamberlain
redeemed
,
drew
it
out
,
and
carried
it
naked
before
the
King
.
Then
the
Arch-Bishop
took
the
Scepter
with
the
Cross
,
and
delivered
it
into
His
Majesties
right
Hand
,
the
Rod
with
the
Dove
in
the
left
;
and
the
King
kneeling
,
blessed
him
:
which
done
,
the
King
ascended
his
Throne
Royal
,
the
Lords
Spiritual
and
Temporal
attending
him
,
where
after
Te
Deum
the
King
was
again
Enthroned
,
and
then
all
the
Peers
did
their
Homage
;
The
Arch-Bishop
first
,
who
then
kissed
the
Kings
left
Cheek
,
and
after
him
the
other
Bishops
.
After
their
Homage
,
the
Peers
all
together
stood
round
about
the
King
,
and
every
one
in
their
order
toucht
the
Crown
upon
his
Head
,
promising
their
readiness
to
support
it
with
their
power
.
The
Coronation
being
ended
,
the
Communion
followed
,
which
his
Majesty
having
received
and
offered
,
returned
to
his
Throne
till
the
Communion
ended
,
and
then
went
into
St.
Edwards
Chappel
,
there
took
off
his
Crown
,
and
delivered
it
to
the
Lord
Bishop
of
London
,
who
laid
it
upon
the
Communion-Table
:
which
done
,
the
King
withdrew
into
a
Traverse
,
where
the
Lord
great
Chamberlain
of
England
disrobed
the
King
of
St.
Edward's
Robes
,
and
delivered
them
to
the
Dean
of
Westminster
,
then
His
Majesty
was
newly
arrayed
with
his
Robes
prepared
for
that
day
,
and
came
to
the
Communion-Table
in
St.
Edward's
Chappel
,
where
the
Lord
Bishop
of
London
,
for
the
Arch-Bishop
,
set
the
Crown
Imperial
,
provided
for
the
King
to
wear
that
day
,
upon
his
Head
.
Then
His
Majesty
took
the
Scepter
and
the
Rod
,
and
(
the
Train
set
in
order
before
him
)
went
up
to
the
Throne
,
and
so
through
the
Choyre
and
body
of
the
Church
out
at
the
West-door
,
to
the
Palace
of
Westminster
.
The
Oathes
of
Fealty
being
casually
omitted
,
are
here
subjoyned
as
they
were
sworn
in
order
.
-
I
William
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
shall
be
True
and
Faithful
,
and
true
Faith
and
Truth
bear
unto
you
ou●
Soveraign
Lord
,
and
your
Heirs
Kings
of
England
;
and
shall
,
and
do
,
and
truly
acknowledge
the
service
of
the
Land
which
I
claim
to
hold
of
You
in
right
of
the
Church
.
So
help
me
God
.
-
Then
the
Duke
of
York
did
the
same
,
in
these
Words
(
Garter
principal
King
at
Arms
attending
him
in
his
Ascent
to
the
Throne
.
)
-
I
James
Duke
of
York
become
Your
Leigeman
of
Life
,
of
Limb
,
and
of
Earthly
Worship
;
and
Faith
and
Truth
shall
I
bear
unto
You
,
to
live
and
dye
,
against
all
manner
of
Folk
.
-
The
Dukes
of
Buckingham
and
Albemarle
did
the
same
for
the
Dukes
.
The
Marquesses
of
Worcester
and
Dorchester
for
the
Marquesses
.
The
Earl
of
Oxford
for
the
Earls
.
Viscount
Hereford
for
the
Viscounts
.
And
the
Lord
Audley
for
the
Barons
.
Note
,
that
there
were
Collects
and
Prayers
said
upon
the
putting
on
of
the
Regalia
,
as
the
Armil
,
the
Pall
;
the
delivery
of
the
Scepter
,
the
Sword
,
all
according
to
ancient
Form
;
and
upon
the
setting
on
of
the
Crown
,
a
peculiar
Benediction
.
The
Bishop
of
Worcester's
Sermon
was
Preached
upon
the
28
of
Prov.
verse
2.
Before
the
King
,
the
Peers
now
according
to
their
Ranks
and
degrees
proceeded
to
the
said
Palace
,
and
not
as
they
entred
the
Abbey
,
but
with
their
Coronets
on
;
at
the
upper
end
whereof
there
was
a
Table
and
Chair
of
State
raised
upon
an
ascent
:
on
the
South-East-side
of
the
Hall
were
two
Tables
placed
;
the
first
for
the
Barons
of
the
Cinque
Ports
,
the
Bishops
and
Judges
;
the
other
for
the
Masters
and
six
Clerks
of
Chancery
;
at
which
Table
▪
by
some
mistake
or
disturbance
,
the
Barons
dined
.
At
the
North-East-end
the
Nobility
at
one
Table
,
and
behinde
them
,
close
to
the
Wall
,
the
Lord-Mayor
,
the
Recorder
,
the
Aldermen
,
and
twelve
principal
Citizens
:
in
the
Court
of
Common-pleas
dined
the
Officers
at
Arms.
Which
Tables
being
served
(
each
had
in
all
three
Courses
and
a
Banquet
)
the
King
came
in
from
the
inner
Court
of
Wards
,
where
he
had
staid
half
an
hour
,
and
sat
down
,
and
the
Duke
of
York
sate
at
the
end
of
the
same
Table
on
the
left
hand
:
the
Earl
of
Dorset
was
Sewer
,
and
the
Earl
of
Chesterfield
his
Assistant
,
the
Earl
of
Lincoln
was
Carver
;
the
Dishes
were
most
of
them
served
up
by
the
Knights
of
the
Bath
:
at
the
second
course
came
in
Sir
Edward
Dymock
who
by
the
service
of
this
day
,
as
the
King's
Champion
,
holds
his
Mannor
of
Serivelsby
in
the
County
of
Lincoln
;
as
several
other
services
were
performed
upon
the
same
account
:
(
particularly
Mr.
Henry
Howard
,
in
behalf
of
his
Brother
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
for
a
Mannor
in
Norfolk
;
gave
the
King
a
rich
right-hand-Glove
,
during
the
Coronation
,
with
which
he
held
the
Scepter
.
)
He
was
mounted
upon
a
goodly
White
Courser
,
himself
Armed
at
all
points
;
and
having
staid
a
while
,
advanced
a
little
further
,
with
his
two
Esquires
,
one
bearing
a
Lance
,
the
other
a
Target
,
and
threw
down
his
Gantlet
;
the
Earl-Marshal
riding
on
his
Left
,
and
the
Lord
High-Constable
on
his
Right
hand
,
when
York
the
Herauld
read
aloud
his
Challenge
,
which
was
done
the
third
and
last
time
at
the
foot
of
the
Ascent
where
the
King
dined
,
and
his
Gantlet
by
the
Herauld
returned
to
him
at
every
of
the
three
times
,
after
it
had
layn
a
little
while
:
the
Challenge
was
in
these
words
.
If
any
person
of
what
degree
soever
,
High
or
Low
,
shall
deny
or
gainsay
our
Soveraign
Lord
King
Charles
the
second
,
King
of
England
,
Scotland
,
France
and
Ireland
,
defender
of
the
Faith
,
&c.
and
Son
and
Heir
to
our
Soveraign
Lord
Charles
the
first
,
the
late
King
deceased
,
to
be
right
Heir
to
the
Imperial
Crown
of
the
Realm
of
England
,
or
that
he
ought
not
to
enjoy
the
same
:
Here
is
his
Champion
,
who
saith
that
he
lyeth
,
and
is
a
false
Traytor
,
being
ready
in
person
to
Combate
with
him
,
and
on
this
quarrel
will
adventure
his
life
against
him
,
what
day
soever
he
shall
be
appointed
.
Which
read
aloud
,
the
Earl
of
Pembrook
presented
the
King
with
a
Guilt
Cup
fill'd
with
Wine
;
who
drank
to
his
Champion
,
and
sent
him
the
said
Cup
by
the
said
Earl
;
which
after
three
Reverences
,
and
some
steps
backward
,
he
drunk
off
,
and
kept
it
as
his
Fee
,
and
departed
.
Then
Garter
Principal
King-at-Arms
Proclaimed
the
King
thrice
with
his
Title
in
Latine
,
French
▪
and
English
,
and
at
every
time
at
the
end
cried
Largess
,
and
the
people
shouted
God
save
the
King
:
then
the
Lord
Mayor
Sir
Richard
Brown
presented
a
Golden
Cup
and
Cover
full
of
Wine
,
which
the
King
drank
off
,
and
gave
it
the
Lord
Mayor
for
his
Fee
.
By
that
time
the
third
course
was
carrying
in
,
the
King
called
for
Water
;
which
the
Earl
of
Pembrook
assisted
by
another
Earl
brought
in
a
Basin
and
Ewer
;
and
the
King
having
washed
,
withdrew
to
his
Barge
:
but
before
his
departure
,
it
fell
a
Thundering
,
Lightning
,
and
Raining
,
as
if
it
imitated
the
noise
and
fire
of
the
Cannon
which
played
from
the
Tower
;
and
it
was
observed
that
they
kept
time
in
this
loud
Musick
,
so
that
they
were
distinctly
to
be
heard
;
the
Thunder
intermitting
,
as
if
it
staid
to
receive
and
answer
the
reciprocated
and
ecchoed
Boation
and
clashes
of
the
Guns
.
And
in
all
ancient
Augury
,
such
signes
were
taken
for
the
most
auspicious
,
however
the
mad
remnant
of
the
Rebellion
would
have
it
parallell'd
to
Saul's
inauguration
,
never
considering
the
season
,
nor
the
different
occasion
and
case
between
the
most
ancient
Kingly
Right
and
descent
in
Christendom
,
and
that
a
new
Title
and
Government
in
Iewry
,
which
had
before
the
most
special
presence
of
God
among
them
.
All
the
Kingdom
over
,
great
rejoycing
was
made
by
Feasting
and
other
Shows
,
as
Training
the
several
Bands
of
the
Countries
,
with
the
additional
Voluntary
Gentry
in
a
new
and
gallant
Cavalry
,
which
shewed
the
resurrection
of
their
former
Loyalty
,
in
its
immutable
state
of
Peace
.
But
to
proceed
to
the
disclosing
the
whole
lustre
of
this
our
present
and
most
delightful
Subject
(
omitting
the
same
Triumphs
in
Scotland
and
Ireland
,
in
the
express
resemblances
of
this
Magnificence
;
several
Honours
being
conferred
both
by
the
Lord-Commissioner
his
Grace
,
and
the
Lords-Justices
on
that
Solemnity
)
we
will
take
a
full
view
of
all
our
personal
Dignities
at
home
.
We
proceed
then
to
those
Magnificences
of
the
King
which
are
in
him
Honorante
,
not
in
Honorato
.
After
the
miserably
vulgarly
multitude
of
those
evil
Counsellors
we
had
been
oppress'd
with
for
so
many
years
(
who
had
raised
themselves
to
the
mysteries
of
Government
by
their
publick
scandals
thereof
in
its
former
administration
,
following
the
impious
politicks
of
Absalom
)
we
saw
an
Assembly
of
Princes
met
in
his
Majesties
most
Honourable
Privy
Council
,
whose
superlative
and
eminent
endowments
,
assisted
by
their
conspicuous
Grandeur
,
restored
the
form
of
the
Brittish
Empire
,
such
,
as
Pallas
gloried
to
be
in
the
midst
of
her
Heavenly
descent
;
such
their
Noble
Extractions
,
and
their
excellencies
in
all
prudent
menage
of
the
Publick
,
accomplished
to
Her
own
AUTHENTICAL
INSTITUTION
of
true
policy
:
such
Pilots
,
whose
happy
and
skilfull
hand
could
guide
the
tossed
Bark
of
the
Kingdom
in
the
darkest
Night
,
and
the
most
frightful
Tempests
,
when
there
was
neither
Sun
,
Moon
,
nor
Stars
,
no
face
of
Authority
nor
Rule
,
no
Directions
nor
Chart
to
follow
,
in
the
unexampled
case
of
our
late
Distractions
,
and
without
any
other
Compass
than
their
Piety
to
God
,
Duty
to
their
Prince
,
and
love
to
their
Country
,
by
which
they
confidently
steered
through
all
those
Shelves
,
Rocks
,
and
Sands
,
which
imminently
threatned
its
Shipwrack
and
Destruction
.
Their
sacred
Names
,
for
perpetual
Memory
,
and
to
the
Eternal
Fame
of
this
their
blessed
Conduct
,
(
understanding
that
by
his
Majesties
call
to
this
sublime
eminent
dignity
,
their
precedent
Services
were
signated
and
notified
to
the
World
)
as
most
Religiously
and
gratefully
is
due
,
are
here
transmitted
among
the
rest
of
his
Majesties
felicities
to
inquisitive
Posterity
.

To
which
have
been
since
added
Christopher
Lord
Hatton
,
Rupert
Duke
of
Cumberland
,
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
Earl
of
Middleton
a
Scotch
Lord
,
the
Kings
Commissioner
there
.
From
these
Glories
of
the
Crown
,
we
are
next
invited
to
as
Illustrious
,
those
of
Chivalry
,
a
medium
betwixt
War
and
Peace
,
that
there
might
be
nothing
that
his
Majesties
Fortunes
could
not
comprehend
.
The
most
Honourable
Order
of
the
Garter
,
Famous
for
its
Martial
and
Civil
Atchievements
,
had
been
drag'd
in
the
Dirt
,
and
trampled
under
Foot
of
Plebeian
Anarchy
and
Usurpation
;
when
the
innocent
charm
of
its
Motto
,
H●ni
soit
qui
mal
y
pense
,
Evil
be
to
him
that
Evil
thinks
,
which
had
preserved
it
so
many
Ages
,
found
not
veneration
nor
respect
,
being
ridled
by
that
Monster
of
Rebellion
,
to
be
a
badge
and
significator
of
its
certain
,
though
long-look'd-for
Vltion
and
Avengement
,
in
its
own
dire
Retorts
,
and
self-punishing
Revolutions
.
It
is
not
,
nor
ever
will
be
forgotten
,
how
they
abased
this
Royal
Ensigne
,
the
highest
Order
of
Knighthood
in
the
World
,
when
it
was
derided
by
the
most
abject
and
meanest
degree
of
the
People
;
when
its
True
Blue
was
stained
with
the
Blot
of
Faintise
and
imbecility
of
courage
,
till
another
Saint
George
arose
to
be
its
Champion
,
Assertor
,
and
Restorer
of
its
Renown
and
Glory
.
Some
of
these
most
Honourable
Knights
survived
his
Majesties
Restitution
;
some
he
made
abroad
,
others
he
decreed
so
;
and
they
were
so
de
jure
,
having
had
the
Order
sent
them
,
but
the
Investiture
wanting
.
The
rest
of
these
Noble
Companions
were
allied
to
the
Restoration
;
all
of
them
are
ranked
in
the
manner
as
they
sate
at
Windsor
,
April
16.
1662
,
being
St.
George
his
day
;
where
after
the
usual
Magnificent
Procession
,
His
Majesty
renewed
the
usual
Solemnities
and
Grandeurs
thereof
;
Himself
being
there
in
Person
.

And
so
we
have
glided
through
this
Sphere
of
Glory
,
in
which
the
ancient
honour
of
the
Government
is
refixed
,
and
gives
us
the
full
and
compleat
fight
of
this
wonderful
Revolu●●on
;
each
Luminary
shining
in
its
proper
Orb
,
and
in
its
Degree
;
the
Soveraign
,
Nobility
,
Clergy
,
and
Gentry
recovered
to
their
former
and
distinct
Lustre
:
and
to
say
no
more
,
the
whole
community
of
English
Freemen
,
whose
state
and
condition
no
Nation
can
parallel
,
from
being
the
servants
of
servants
,
are
become
their
own
Masters
,
and
are
arrived
by
this
Change
,
to
be
again
the
envy
,
that
were
but
lately
the
scorn
and
derision
of
the
World
.
In
this
Consistency
the
King
was
desirous
to
meet
this
Illustrious
Body
in
Parliament
,
to
close
those
distances
and
separations
,
and
redintegrate
the
mutual
affections
,
endearments
,
and
natural
kindnesses
,
which
the
unnaturalness
and
perverse
malignity
of
the
times
had
by
our
Divisions
abrupted
and
hitherto
discontinued
:
the
King
had
promised
so
much
at
the
Dissolution
of
the
late
Free-Parliament
or
Convention
,
and
accordingly
issued
out
His
Writ
,
(
soon
after
)
for
their
sitting
down
the
Eighth
of
May
(
a
little
before
which
,
A
new
Parliament
,
May
8.
several
Musters
had
been
made
in
England
of
the
Militia
;
and
a
General
Train
in
London
,
in
Hide-Park
of
Horse
and
Foot
,
Fourteen
Regiments
whereof
the
King
was
pleased
to
view
there
.
)
In
these
Elections
it
appeared
how
much
a
Commonwealth
,
or
those
Actions
which
were
pretended
to
be
done
by
the
People
in
Parliament
(
by
a
few
modulers
thereof
)
were
ever
approved
;
for
not
such
a
man
had
a
Voyce
,
and
the
Election
of
the
Free
Parliament
gave
little
Encouragement
to
stand
for
it
:
the
main
stickling
was
between
the
Episcopal
and
Presbyterian
Parties
;
and
even
that
numerous
Party
(
as
was
said
by
themselves
)
found
how
much
they
were
mistaken
in
the
Suffrages
of
the
Kingdome
,
when
under
no
awe
,
nor
in
the
phrensy
of
misguised
Zeal
:
several
Letters
were
intercepted
from
the
chief
Ministers
of
that
Perswasion
,
exhorting
their
Correspondents
to
do
their
utmost
for
favourable
Elections
to
their
Discipline
,
and
that
very
confidently
,
after
the
choyce
made
at
London
,
of
persons
the
most
of
them
of
their
way
.
But
nevertheless
,
that
there
might
not
the
least
remain
of
the
Government
be
left
unjustified
and
unreared
;
it
so
happened
,
that
far
the
major
part
of
this
House
of
Commons
were
not
better
affected
to
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdome
,
than
to
the
Restauration
and
Settlement
of
the
Church
.
To
this
Parliament
the
King
with
his
Nobles
,
according
to
the
splendid
custome
of
opening
these
grand
Assemblies
,
rode
in
State
and
Triumph
:
but
because
so
full
a
Narrative
of
such
Glory
hath
already
preceded
,
I
will
not
further
dazile
the
Reader
.
The
House
being
met
,
the
King
sent
for
the
Commons
into
the
House
of
Lords
,
where
most
obligingly
he
declared
,
His
content
in
meeting
them
;
most
of
them
being
known
to
him
:
that
he
was
as
confident
,
as
of
any
thing
whatsoever
,
that
it
would
be
a
happy
Parliament
;
and
in
conclusion
,
acquainted
them
with
his
Resolution
of
marrying
the
Infanta
of
Portugal
,
which
Match
(
he
said
)
he
had
proposed
to
his
Privy
Council
,
and
they
had
every
one
highly
approved
it
;
that
he
thought
none
of
them
would
willingly
have
him
live
and
dye
a
Batchelour
,
and
therefore
he
had
newly
made
and
signed
a
Treaty
with
the
King
of
Portugal
by
his
Ambassadour
Don
Francisco
De
Mello
here
Resident
,
Portugal
Match
mentioned
by
the
King
to
the
Parliament
.
and
now
upon
departure
with
the
same
Treaty
,
in
which
this
Article
of
Marriage
was
inserted
.
And
then
my
Lord
Chancellour
,
by
His
Order
,
gave
the
Parliament
a
further
Account
of
His
Majesties
calling
them
.
Sir
Edward
Turner
the
Dukes
Attourney
General
was
chosen
Speaker
for
the
House
of
Commons
;
who
in
his
Speech
to
the
King
expressed
the
hopes
of
the
Commons
,
that
as
His
Majesty
had
manifested
his
great
Indulgence
to
that
Adopted
,
so
that
he
had
a
Blessing
left
for
this
his
Natural
Parliament
.
These
Ceremonies
being
over
,
wherein
the
dutiful
respects
of
the
Houses
answered
the
favour
and
affection
of
the
King
;
the
Parliament
proceeded
to
the
Affairs
of
the
Kingdome
.
Near
that
very
time
,
a
Parliament
began
in
Ireland
(
after
a
like
happy
Convention
had
been
by
his
Majesties
Order
,
from
their
Adjournment
upon
his
Restitution
,
reassembled
in
that
quality
)
Sir
Audly
Mervin
being
chosen
Speaker
.
The
Convocation
of
the
English
Clergy
,
all
eminent
and
most
learned
pious
Persons
,
met
on
the
sixteenth
of
May
at
Westminster
.
And
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
his
Majesties
Aunt
,
from
a
long
absence
of
forty
eight
years
;
The
Queen
of
Bohemia
returns
into
England
.
returned
to
White-Hall
,
where
She
was
Married
in
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
twelve
to
the
Prince
Elector
Palatine
.
He
return
was
further
signalized
by
the
reviviscency
of
the
memory
of
the
most
renowned
Marquess
of
Montross
,
whose
Limbs
having
been
set
upon
the
Gates
of
four
distant
Cities
by
the
Kirk
and
Argyles
party
there
,
were
taken
down
,
and
in
State
,
and
in
all
fit
Solemnity
,
and
with
the
same
Honour
brought
together
,
The
Marquess
of
Montross
enterred
in
State
,
May
11.
and
by
his
Majesties
Order
(
whose
love
and
memory
of
his
Servants
is
one
of
his
many
other
Princely
vertues
,
and
great
evidence
of
the
sweetness
of
his
Nature
)
and
the
resolution
of
the
Parliament
,
Interred
with
a
Funeral
becoming
his
Family
,
and
(
as
far
as
such
too
late
evidences
and
expressions
of
Grief
and
Honour
could
reach
his
merit
)
his
own
personal
Renown
and
Glory
;
so
much
the
more
indeed
conspicuous
,
by
the
Death
and
deserved
Execution
of
the
Marquess
of
Argyle
,
Arguile
beheaded
,
May
a●
and
Guthrey
and
Giff●n
Hang'd
,
June
1
who
was
this
Hero's
mortal
and
spightful
Enemy
,
that
now
expiated
by
a
juster
Sentence
,
those
barbarous
violencies
he
had
done
to
Montross
:
he
cunningly
defended
himself
,
and
Pleaded
the
Kings
Pardon
,
and
the
Treaties
in
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
,
and
One
thousand
six
hundred
fifty
one
;
but
there
were
Crimes
of
a
later
date
(
besides
the
never-to-be-forgotten
Treachery
of
Selling
King
Charles
the
first
to
the
English
)
which
Condemned
him
.
He
seemed
at
his
Death
to
be
resolved
enough
,
and
justified
the
Covenant
,
and
had
his
Head
taken
off
with
the
Maiden
,
so
is
the
Axe
called
in
Scotland
.
Near
the
same
time
Mr.
Iames
Guthery
one
of
the
Remonstrators
,
and
a
violent
Adversary
of
the
Marquess
of
Montross
and
all
the
Loyal
party
,
together
with
Captain
Giffan
a
●eneg●do
to
Cromwel
,
by
Sentence
and
Decree
of
Parliament
,
were
Hanged
in
Edenburgh
:
so
far
the
Laws
,
and
a
suffering-sense
of
the
Miseries
and
Reproaches
that
Nation
lay
under
by
these
men
,
and
their
Partizans
guilt
,
did
now
prevail
against
the
Dominion
of
the
Kirk
,
which
had
Inslaved
and
Inchanted
the
whole
mass
of
that
people
.
And
for
a
final
blow
(
as
these
mens
Fates
did
usher
out
what
their
devices
had
introduced
(
as
great
Events
never
go
unattended
)
the
Solemn
League
and
Covenant
,
(
first
invented
by
Arguile
and
his
Complices
)
which
had
raised
such
a
Combustion
in
the
three
Kingdoms
,
was
Sacrificed
to
the
Flames
by
a
Vote
in
Parliament
;
the
common
Hang-man
in
ample
manner
burning
it
in
several
places
in
London
;
which
also
was
done
all
the
Kingdom
over
with
great
Acclamations
;
which
being
omitted
hitherto
,
when
so
often
unwelcome
occasion
hath
been
given
to
recite
it
,
take
it
now
in

how
much
their
Rage
,
Power
,
and
Presumption
,
are
of
late
,
and
at
this
time
encreased
and
exercised
,
whereof

We

now
at

for

according

the
commendable
practice
of
these

in

and
the
example
of
God's
People
in

Nations
,
after
mature
deliberation

resolved

determined
to
enter
into
a
Mutual

Solemn
League

wherein
we
all
subscribe

one
of
us
for
himself

with
our
Hands
lifted
up
to
the
most
High
God

Swear
,
-
1.
THat
we
shall
sincerely
,
really
,
and
constantly
,
through
the
Grace
of
God
,
endeavour
in
our
several
Places
and
Callings
,
the
Preservation
of
the
Reformed
Religion
in
the
Church
of
Scotland
,
in
Doctrine
,
Worship
,
Discipline
,
and
Government
,
against
our
Common
Enemies
:
The
Reformation
of
Religion
in
the
Kingdoms
of
England
and
Ireland
,
in
Doctrine
,
Worship
,
Discipline
,
and
Government
,
according
to
the
Word
of
God
,
and
the
Example
of
the
best
Reformed
Churches
:
and
shall
endeavour
to
bring
the
Churches
of
God
in
the
three
Kingdoms
to
the
neerest
Conjunction
and
Vniformity
in
Religion
,
Confession
of
Faith
,
Form
of
Church-Government
,
Directory
of
Worship
,
and
Catechising

That
we
and
our
Posterity
after
us
,
may
as
Brethren
live
in
Faith
and
Love
,
and
the
Lord
may
delight
to
dwell
in
the
midst
of
us
.
-
2.
That
we
shall
in
like
manner
,
without
respect
of
persons
,
endeavour
the
extirpation
of
Popery
,
Prelacy
,
(
that
is
,
Church-Government
by
Arch-Bishops
,
Bishops
,
their
Chancellors
and
Commissaries
,
Deans
,
Deans
and
Chapters
,
Arch-Deacons
,
and
all
other
Ecclesiastical
Officers
depending
on
that
Hierarchy
)
Superstition
,
Heresie
,
Schism
,
Prophaneness
,
and
whatsoever
shall
be
found
to
be
contrary
to
Godliness
,
and
sound
Doctrine
,
and
the
power
of
Godliness
;
left
we
partake
in
other
mens
sins
,
and
thereby
be
in
danger
to
receive
of
their
plagues
:
And
that
the
Lord
may
be
one
,
and
his
Name
one
in
the
three
Kingdoms
.
-
3.
We
shall
with
the
same
sincerity
,
reality
,
and
constancy
,
in
our
several
Vocations
,
endeavour
with
our
Estates
and
Lives
,
mutually
to
preserve
the
Rights
and
Priviledges
of
the
Parliaments
,
and
the
Liberties
of
the
Kingdoms
,
and
to
preserve
and
defend
the
Kings
Majesties
person
,
and
Authority
in
the
preservation
and
defence
of
the
true
Religion
and
Liberties
of
the
Kingdoms
,
That
the
World
may
bear
Witness
with
our
Consciences
of
our
Loyalty
,
that
we
have
no
thoughts
or
intentions
to
diminish
his
Majesties
just
Power
and
Greatness
.
-
4.
We
shall
also
with
all
faithfulness
endeavour
the
discovery
of
all
such
as
have
been
or
shall
be
Incendiaries
,
Malignants
,
or
evil
Instruments
,
by
hindering
the
Reformation
of
Religion
,
dividing
the
King
from
his
people
,
or
one
of
the
Kingdoms
from
another
,
or
making
any
Faction
or
parties
amongst
the
people
contrary
to
this
League
and
Covenant
:
that
they
may
be
brought
to
publick
Trial
,
and
receive
condigne
punishment
as
the
degree
of
their
offences
shall
require
or
deserve
,
or
the
supreme
Iudicatories
of
both
Kingdoms
respectively
,
or
others
having
power
from
them
for
that
effect
,
shall
judge
convenient
.
-
5.
And
whereas
the
happiness
of
a
blessed
Peace
between
these
Kingdoms
,
denied
in
former
times
to
our
Progenitors
,
is
by
the
good
providence
of
God
granted
unto
us
,
and
hath
been
lately
concluded
and
setled
by
both
Parliaments
.
We
shall
each
one
of
us
according
to
our
place
and
interest
endeavour
that
they
may
remain
conjoyned
in
a
firm
Peace
,
and
Vnion
to
all
Posterity
;
and
that
justice
may
be
done
upon
the
wilful
opposers
thereof
in
manner
expressed
in
the
precedent
Article
.
-
6.
We
shall
also
according
to
our
Places
and
Callings
,
in
this
common
Cause
of
Religion
,
Liberty
,
and
Peace
of
the
Kingdoms
,
assist
and
defend
all
those
that
enter
into
this
League
and
Covenant
▪
in
the
maintaining
and
pursuing
thereof
,
and
shall
not
suffer
our selves
directly
or
indirectly
,
by
whatsoever
Combination
,
Perswasion
,
or
Terrour
,
to
be
divided
and
withdrawn
from
this
blessed
Vnion
and
Conjunction
;
whether
to
make
defection
to
the
contrary
part
,
or
to
give
our selves
to
a
detestible
indifferency
or
neutrality
in
this
Cause
,
which
so
much
concerns
the
Glory
of
God
,
the
good
of
the
Kingdoms
,
and
Honour
of
the
King
;
but
shall
all
the
daies
of
our
lives
zealously
and
constantly
continue
therein
,
against
all
opposition
,
and
promote
the
same
according
to
our
power
against
all
Lets
and
Impediments
whatsoever
.
And
what
we
are
not
able
our selves
to
suppress
,
or
overcome
,
we
shall
reveal
or
make
known
that
it
may
be
timely
prevented
or
removed
.
All
which
we
shall
doe
as
in
the
sight
of
God
.
And
because
these
Kingdoms
are
guilty
of
many
sins
and
provocations
against
God
and
his
Son
Iesus
Christ
,
as
is
too
manifest
by
our
present
distresses
and
dangers
,
the
fruits
thereof
:
We
profess
and
declare
before
God
and
the
World
our
unfeigned
desire
to
be
humbled
for
our
own
sins
,
and
for
the
sins
of
these
Kingdoms
,
especially
that
we
have
not
as
we
ought
valued
the
inestimable
benefit
of
the
Gospel
:
That
we
have
not
laboured
for
the
Purity
and
Power
thereof
;
and
that
we
have
not
endeavoured
to
receive
Christ
in
our
Hearts
,
nor
to
walk
worthy
of
him
in
our
Live●
which
are
the
Causes
of
other
sins
and
transgressions
,
so
much
abounding
amongst
〈◊〉
and
our
true
unfaigned
purpose
,
desire
,
and
endeavour
,
for
our selves
and
all
others
under
our
Power
and
Charge
,
both
in
publick
and
in
private
,
in
all
Duties
we
owe
to
God
and
Man
,
to
amend
our
lives
,
and
each
other
to
go
before
another
in
the
Example
of
a
real
Reformation
,
that
the
Lord
may
turn
away
his
Wrath
and
heavy
Indignation
,
and
establish
these
Churches
and
Kingdoms
in
Truth
and
Peace
.
And
this
Covenant
we
make
in
the
presence
of
Almigh●y
God
,
the
Searcher
of
all
Hearts
,
with
a
true
intention
to
perform
the
same
,
as
we
shall
answer
at
that
great
day
,
when
the
secrets
of
all
Hearts
shall
he
disclosed
;
most
humbly
beseeching
the
Lord
to
strengthen
us
by
his
Holy
Spirit
for
this
end
.
And
to
bless
our
desires
and
proceedings
with
such
success
,
as
may
be
deliverance
and
safety
to
his
People
,
and
encouragement
to
the
Christian
Churches
,
groaning
under
,
or
in
danger
of
the
York
of
Antichristian
Tyranny
,
to
joyn
in
the
same
or
like
Association
and
Covenant
,
to
the
Glory
of
God
,
the
Inlargement
of
the
Kingdom
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
the
Peace
and
Tranquility
of
Christian
Kingdoms
and
Commonwealths
.
It
consisted
just
of
666
Words
,
as
some
curious
Criticks
observed
the
number
of
the
Beast
in
the
Revelations
.
Most
certain
it
is
,
the
baiting
and
disputing
of
it
,
made
the
Field
,
the
Pulpit
,
and
the
Press
,
a
sad
Theatre
.
Plots
and
Designes
laid
by
the
Fanaticks
.
The
good
Progress
was
made
by
this
Parliament
in
this
way
,
to
return
us
where
we
were
,
did
highly
urge
the
discontents
of
the
late
Anarchy
;
and
their
anger
suggested
to
them
some
hopes
of
undoing
all
again
;
and
in
this
revenge
they
parted
themselves
,
because
they
saw
the
Presbyterians
concerned
,
who
either
must
comply
,
or
equally
Suffer
with
them
by
such
proceedings
;
and
therefore
new
designs
were
meditated
,
and
divers
Conspiracies
framed
,
and
Councels
and
Meetings
had
by
several
of
that
Party
,
who
afterward
were
seized
into
custody
,
after
they
had
vainly
endeavoured
and
projected
new
troubles
;
such
were
Praise

Samuel

Colonel
Salmon

Major
Wildman

late
Alderman
Ireton

Major
Hains

and
others

some
of
them
since
released

discharged

In
the
like
manner

Loyal

the
place
that
he
came
to
confirm
the
League
made
formerly
between

;
and
a
Treaty
accordingly
ensued
:
but
they
refusing
to
deliver
the
●●p●ves
,
except
upon
hard
conditions
,
and
not
to
be
brooked
by
those
who
had
made
them
feel
the
smart
of
their
former
Insolence
;
the
General
weighed
,
and
stood
into
the
Harbour
;
but
they
ever
since
their
former
disaster
had
with
new
Fortifications
and
a
Mole
with
Forts
so
secured
themselves
,
that
after
the
firing
of
some
of
their
Ships
,
and
doing
some
Execution
on
them
,
it
was
advised
the
Fleet
should
make
out
again
;
which
they
did
with
the
loss
of
some
men
,
and
the
Wounding
and
maiming
of
others
;
as
also
of
their
Yards
,
Sails
and
Rigging
.
After
which
Enterprize
,
the
Earl
leaving
Sir
Sohn
Lawson
to
block
them
up
,
and
their
Thieving-trade
being
stopt
,
departed
with
part
of
his
Fleet
to
the
Coast
of
Spain
,
to
Tangier
,
and
so
at
length
to
Lisbon
,
according
to
his
Orders
.
Several
Laws
confirmed
and
made
,
&c.
In
the
mean
time
the
Parliament
,
at
the
special
instance
&
desire
of
the
King
,
had
passed
an
Act
for
Confirmation
of
the
Act
of
Oblivion
;
which
being
done
by
the
Free
Parliament
not
called
by
his
Majesties
Writ
,
was
not
thought
by
the
guilty
valid
,
and
security
enough
to
them
.
They
likewise
ratified
most
or
all
of
the
other
Laws
Enacted
by
the
same
Authority
.
They
framed
another
for
Regulating
Corporations
,
Impowring
Commissioners
to
displace
such
as
bore
Offices
,
and
were
any
way
suspected
as
Ill-willers
to
the
Government
and
his
Majesties
Authority
,
or
should
refuse
to
take
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
and
Supremacy
;
or
finally
,
which
was
the
onely
Test
,
if
they
would
not
renounce
the
Solemn
League
and
Covenant
,
as
unlawful
in
it self
,
and
illegally
imposed
;
the
Wisdom
of
the
Parliament
knowing
what
Seeds
were
sown
of
that
Thistle
,
and
how
untractable
it
was
.
During
this
Debate
of
the
House
,
Mr.
Pryn
questioned
,
&c.
Mr.
Pryn
could
not
refrain
,
against
the
priviledge
of
the
House
,
of
which
he
was
a
Member
,
from
publishing
of
certain
Reasons
against
the
said
Bill
,
as
contrary
to
Magna
Charta
;
which
the
House
being
informed
of
,
the
Serjeant
at
Arms
was
ordered
to
seize
the
Printer
;
and
Mr.
Pryn
owning
of
it
,
he
was
brought
to
the
Bar
,
Mr.
Pryn
questioned
by
the
House
.
and
rebuked
by
the
Speaker
;
but
upon
his
submission
,
and
the
Houses
favourable
reflection
on
his
great
endeavours
to
the
Restitution
of
the
King
,
he
was
remitted
the
censure
and
punishment
he
had
by
this
oversight
incurred
,
not
considering
the
necessity
and
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
required
this
course
,
and
how
usual
and
constant
it
was
with
the
Usurpers
;
whereas
now
the
Supreme
Legislative
Power
,
who
may
,
and
do
substitute
,
Repeal
and
Enact
such
Laws
as
the
times
require
,
had
thought
fit
to
establish
this
.
There
passed
also
another
Act
repealing
that
of
the
1
Caroli
7.
against
the
Prelacy
,
Acts
against
Bishops
repealed
and
the
Bishop●
medling
in
civil
Judicature
and
Affairs
,
debarring
them
also
from
their
Priviledges
to
fit
as
Peers
in
the
House
of
Lords
;
to
all
which
Honours
,
they
were
by
this
Repeal
restored
to
all
purposes
,
as
if
the
same
had
never
been
Enacted
:
a
little
before
which
,
the
whole
Order
of
them
were
magnificently
feasted
at
Sir
Richard
Brown's
the
Lord-Mayor
his
house
,
the
25
of
Iune
.
The
Free-Parliament
having
respited
the
punishments
of
several
of
the
Regicides
,
as
well
those
that
lay
under
Condemnation
,
as
others
not
so
fully
guilty
of
that
Crime
;
the
Houses
resumed
the
matter
,
and
caused
the
Lord
Munson
,
Lord
Munson
,
Sir
Henry
Mildmay
and
Wallop
sentenced
.
Sir
Henry
Mildmay
,
and
Mr.
Robert
Wallop
,
to
be
brought
to
the
Bar
,
where
their
Estates
were
declared
confiscate
,
and
they
degraded
from
all
Titles
and
Arms
of
Gentility
,
and
farther
Sentenced
to
be
drawn
from
the
Tower
through
the
City
of
London
to
Tyburn
on
the
30
of
Ianuary
next
,
and
so
back
again
with
Halters
about
their
Necks
,
upon
Sledges
,
and
to
suffer
perpetual
Imprisonment
.
Sir
Iames
Harrington
was
to
have
been
in
this
very
predicament
,
but
he
having
his
Liberty
upon
Bail
from
the
Serjeant
at
Arms
,
left
his
Bail
in
the
lurch
,
and
fled
for
it
,
and
put
himself
out
of
the
benefit
of
this
qualification
.
Phelps
,
one
of
the
Clerks
of
the
Court
of
Justice
,
was
marked
for
this
,
but
was
not
Sentenced
.
The
Earl
of
Middleton
the
King
's
great
Commissioner
,
came
about
this
time
from
Scotland
to
White-hall
;
and
on
the
30th
of
this
Moneth
the
Parliament
was
adjourned
by

the
King
and
they
parting
with
mutual
satisfaction
;
the
Lord-Chancellor
declaring
that
the
King's
confidence
in
them
had
not
in
the
least
deceived
him
.
Much
discourse
there
was
all
the
Summer
,
that
his
Majesty
would
take
a
Progress
to
visit
his
Loyal
City
of
Worcester
,
and
the
places
of
his
Sanctuary
and
Refuge
in
his
escape
thence
;
and
to
that
end
,
his
Tent-Office
was
held
at
Clarkenwell
green
,
to
prepare
and
make
all
things
ready
for
the
accommodation
of
his
Progress
:
but
the
suspition
of
affairs
,
and
the
designes
of
the
old
Enemy
,
who
as
was
said
before
was
at
work
,
deferred
it
this
year
,
and
a
shorter
journey
took
up
the
next
.
Commissioners
likewise
came
from
the
Parliament
in
Ireland
with
an
acceptable
present
to
the
King
at
White-hall
.
The
Duke
of
York
,
who
had
been
chosen
Captain
to
the
Artillery-company
in
London
,
and
by
their
Deputies
humbly
requested
to
honour
them
with
his
acceptance
,
which
he
was
nobly
pleased
to
do
,
and
lead
with
them
in
their
Ground
,
and
see
them
Exercise
to
his
good
content
;
accepted
now
likewise
from
them
an
invitation
to
dine
with
them
,
on
their
annual
Feast-day
,
at
Merchant-Taylors
Hall
;
whither
accompanied
him
with
the
same
invitation
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
and
divers
other
Persons
of
Honour
.
This
Moneth
of
August
was
the
Reading
of
that
excellent
Lawyer
and
most
accomplisht
Gentleman
Sir
Heneage
Finch
his
Majesties
Sollicitor
,
at
the
Inner
Temple
;
whose
Nobleness
and
Generosity
were
herein
equal
to
his
matchless
Abilities
in
the
Laws
,
as
his
magnificence
in
this
Solemn
occasion
did
make
appear
,
especially
in
that
particular
Treatment
he
gave
the
King
,
The
King
is
entertained
at
the
Inner
Temple
by
Sir
Heneage
Finch
.
who
to
honour
this
,
one
of
his
best
servants
,
was
graciously
pleased
to
accept
of
it
,
and
to
dine
in
that
Hall
;
a
favour
not
before
indulged
to
any
of
these
famous
Societies
by
any
of
his
Royal
Progenitors
:
the
most
Illustrious
Duke
of
York
was
present
,
and
Dined
here
with
his
Brother
,
to
both
their
likings
and
approbations
.
Count
Conningsmark
,
from
the
young
King
and
Queen
of
Sweden
,
had
been
here
some
while
;
and
now
came
another
more
splendid
Embassy
by
Count
Brahe
,
at
whose
reception
near
the
Tower
,
a
Fray
or
Conflict
happened
betwixt
the
French
and
Spanish
Embassadours
Coaches
for
Precedency
which
should
first
follow
the
Swedes
Coach
:
both
Parties
came
prepared
for
the
Encounter
;
but
the
French
were
basely
worsted
,
and
seven
or
eight
of
them
killed
.
This
had
like
to
have
caused
a
new
Rupture
betwixt
both
Crowns
,
the
French
King
sending
a
Messenger
to
Madrid
to
demand
satisfaction
;
but
at
the
intreaty
of
the
new-Married
Queen
,
the
difference
was
put
up
.
While
I
am
relating
this
Forreign
matter
,
I
must
insert
,
that
the
Prince
of
Spain
,
a
Child
about
five
years
old
,
dyed
,
and
a
young
Prince
or
Dolphin
was
born
to
the
French
King
on
All
Saints
day
,
and
therefore
Christned
Lewis
Tous
Sancts
.
Several
Prisoners
in
the
Tower
,
Regicides
and
others
,
by
reason
of
the
practices
of
their
Parties
,
were
now
in
October
sent
a
way
from
the
Tower
to
several
remote
places
,
Castles
,
and
Islands
,
for
securing
the
Peace
;
and
with
them
,
the
Market
of
Herbs
,
which
usually
stood
before
in
Cheap-side
,
(
and
by
Tichburn
in
his
Majoralty
,
because
it
cumbred
up
the
ways
,
was
placed
in
St.
Pauls
Church-yard
,
)
and
a
Cross
built
there
,
which
is
yet
standing
,
was
by
Proclamation
,
to
avoid
the
scandal
of
selling
and
buying
in
that
Ground
,
now
removed
into
Aldersgate-street
,
and
Aldermanbury
.
Several
suspected
persons
of
the
Phanatick
Party
were
now
seized
,
and
committed
to
several
Prisons
.
The
Right
Noble
Iames
Duke
of
Ormond
,
after
several
uneffectual
designments
of
others
,
was
appointed
by
his
Majesty
Lieutenant
of
Ireland
,
which
Place
and
Dignity
he
had
before
so
prudently
discharged
.
The

After
the
expiration
of
the
Adjournment
of
the
Parliament
from
Iuly
last
,
they
met
again
the
Twentieth
of
November
,
now
in
their
full
and
entire
Constitution
;
the
Lords
Spiritual
the
Bishops
,
by
virtue
of
the
Act
of
Repeal
made
the
last
Session
,
taking
their
places
;
which
the
King
in
his
Speech
to
the
Houses
did
congratulate
to
them

a
felicity
He
much
desired
to
see
accomplished

On
the
Twenty
fifth
of
the
same
Month
,
the
Regicides
that
came
in
upon
Proclamation
,
and
were
respited
after
Sentence
to
the
pleasure
of
the
Parliament
,
were
brought
to
the
Bar
of
the
House
of
Lords
,
to
answer
what
they
could
for
themselves
,
why
Judgment
should
not
be
Executed
:
they
all
Pleaded
the
Proclamation
,
which
they
understood
and
supposed
did
extend
to
favour
of
Life
upon
the
rendring
themselves
thereupon
,
as
likewise
that
as
to
the
Crime
they
were
all
of
them
guilty
of
no
malice
toward
the
Person
of
the
King
:
Henry
Marten
added
,
that
he
never
obeyed
any
Proclamation
before
but
this
,
and
hoped
that
he
should
not
be
Hanged
for
taking
the
Kings
Word
now
.
They
were
remanded
back
again
to
the
Tower
from
whence
they
came
,
and
no
further
proceeding
had
concerning
them
.
The
Lord
Chancellour
in
his
Speech
made
mention
of
a
Plot
,
which
one
Major
White
had
discovered
,
and
upon
which
several
Persons
had
been
secured
,
that
were
Officers
formerly
in
the
Army
;
and
what
care
had
been
taken
by
the
King
to
prevent
the
danger
,
and
to
attain
to
a
full
discovery

himself
the

had
not
departed
from
his
malice
ever
since
that
disappointment
,

continued
his
Meetings

Conventicles
with
others
of
his
desperate
Crew
,
among
whom
he
was
a
great
Rabby

Teacher

flew
out
into
several
Traiterous
Speeches
and
Invectives
against
the
Kings
Person
,
Government
,
and
Family
,
which
relisht
of
the
same
Design
couched
in
Venners
Declaration
;
which
being
over-heard
by
some
Neighbours
living
near
the
same
Conventicle
,
Iames
was
seized
and
carried
before
a
Justice
,
who
Committed
him
to
Newgate
,
whence
this
Term
he
was
brought
to
the
Kings
Bench
Bar
,
and
there
the
Words
were
proved
against
him
,
and
he
Convicted
and
Condemned
as
a
Traytor
:
On
the
Twenty
seventh
he
was
drawn
on
a
Sledge
to
Tyburn
,
some
of
his
Sect
and
Opinion
throwing
themselves
into
the
same
Sledge
,
and
embracing
him
;
so
fond
were
they
of
this
their
silly
though
bold
Seducer
.
At
the
Gallows
he
denyed
the
words
,
but
owned
and
avowed
his
Chilianism
and
the
Personal
Reign
of
Christ
,
out
of
which
respect
he
prayed
not
for
the
King
,
or
any
Authority
,
but
with
the
usual
confidence
of
his
Party
made
an
end
.
His
Quarters
were
disposed
of
by
his
Majesties
Orders
,
and
his
Head
set
upon
a
Pole
in
White
Chappel
near
the
place
of
his
Meeting
,
for
example
to
his
Fellows
.
Some
discourses
there
were
of
a
Design
about
Dunkirk
,

the
Duke
of
York
passed
over
there
this
Month
,
carrying
the

excellent
Service

by

he
was
one
of

right
hands
in
carrying

Change

this
time
was
one
Iohn
Lort
Esquire
,
a
Gentleman
of
Wales
,
by
the
Title
of
Prince
Le
Grange
:
he
gave
,
and
the
King
was
pleased
to
accept
a
Treatment
from
him
;
the
Ceremonies
due
to
a
Prince
being
exactly
observed
in
every
respect
,
a
Council
,
Judges
,
and
Officers
of
State
Honour
and
Nobility
attending
this
his
Highness
,
whom
the
King
at
the
expiration
of
his
term
of
Royalty
made
a
Knight
Baronet
.
The
Marquess
Durazzo
Embassador
from
the
Republick
of
Genoa
was
about
this
time
honourably
received
by
the
King
attended
through
the
City
to
Sir
Abraham
Williams
his
house
by
the
Earl
of
Carlisle
;
Complemented
from
the
King
by
the
Earl
of
Bullingbrook
,
and
brought
to
Audience
by
the
Lord
Buckhurst
.
In
Scotland
,
Episcopacy
established
in
Scotland
.
Episcopacy
which
had
been
so
long
banished
thence
,
was
now
reduced
with
all
gladness
and
testimonies
of
a
welcome
reception
,
after
the
experience
of
so
many
miseries
and
confusions
which
had
befallen
that
Nation
,
through
the
Fury
and
Zealotry
of
the
Kirk
.
The
four
Bishops
that
were
Consecrated
at
Lambeth
a
little
before
this
,
whereof
Dr.
Iames
Sharpe
Arch-Bishop
of
St.
Andrews
Metropolitan
of
Scotland
was
one
,
Consecrating
others
in
that
Kingdom
;
the
whole
Order
being
there
defunct
,
by
the
long
Usurpation
of
the
Presbyterian
Discipline
.
To
the
confirmation
therefore
of
this
Sacred
resetled
Authority
,
the
Lord-Commissioner
,
with
most
of
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
accompanied
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Glascow
,
where
the
Kirk-Rebellion
was
first
hatched
,
to
that
City
,
where
the
face
of
things
was
quite
altered
;
no
Person
or
occasion
ever
welcomer
or
more
acceptable
than
this
,
as
their
Bells
and
Bonefires
declared
.
And
here
the
Lord
Commissioner
put
forth
a
Proclamation
prohibiting
the
payment
of
any
Ecclesiastical
Rents
o
Tythe
,
or
profits
of
the
Ministry
whatsoever
,
to
any
who
in
a
short
time
limited
should
not
acknowledge
and
own
their
Diocesan
Bishop
and
his
Authority
,
and
receive
Induction
from
him
.
Some
few
grand
Factious
Predicants
stood
out
,
and
were
cured
of
their
Livings
,
and
others
the
most
unquiet
and
refractory
Commanded
to
depart
that
Kingdom
,
now
well
cleared
of
that
Clergy
,
the
Original
and
Fountain
of
those
bitter
waters
and
Rivers
of
Blood
which
overflowed
the
three
Nations
.
A
like
Church-work
was
taken
in
hand
in
England
:
the
King
at
his
Entrance
into
London
,
upon
his
Restitution-day
,
May
29
,
sadly
observed
,
and
shook
his
Head
at
the
Ruines
of
St.
Paul's
Cathedral
▪
The
King
reflects
on
the
ruine
of
St.
Pauls
London
.
and
therefore
the
first
vacancy
his
affairs
permitted
him
,
was
bestowed
on
the
consideration
of
that
Religious
Structure
;
and
thereupon
he
issued
out
a
Commission
to
Sir
Orlando
Bridgeman
,
Sir
Ieoffery
Palmer
,
and
others
of
the
Long
Robe
,
with
other
Gentlemen
,
to
take
some
speedy
Order
for
the
Repair
thereof
:
and
to
that
pious
work
he
gave
the
Arrears
of
Impropriations
and
Ecclesiastical
Livings
excepted
out
of
the
Act
of
Oblivion
;
impowering
to
call
all
such
as
owed
any
Moneys
thereupon
to
account
,
and
to
lay
it
out
to
that
use
.
The
former
Dean
of
which
Cathedral
(
Dr.
Nicholas
,
Brother
to
Master
Secretary
of
State
Sir
Edward
)
died
now
of
a
malignant
Feavor
,
called
the
Country
new
Disease
:
and
Dr.
Barwick
,
a
man
that
had
suffered
all
Extremities
even
of
Dungeon
and
Famine
in
the
Tower
from
the
Rump
,
soon
after
the
King's
death
was
substituted
by
the
King
in
his
place
,
it
being
reckoned
with
the
late
improvement
the
best
Deanry
now
in
England
.
Fatality
among
the
Clergy
.
Soon
after
Dr.
Nicholas
,
died
Dr.
Nicholas
Monke
Bishop
of
Hereford
,
and
Brother
to
the
Noble
General
,
whose
private
Contemplative
li●e
,
was
no
less
observed
than
Jewels
in
the
dark
,
which
then
shine
brightest
;
his
Illustrious
Brother
governing
the
conspicuous
splendor
of
the
Times
,
while
he
ruled
with
the
recluse
vertues
of
his
minde
in
the
obscurity
of
the
Church
:
(
which
afterwards
spread
and
lustre
it
borrowed
from
the
Beams
of
this
its
Luminary
,
though
now
suddenly
deprived
of
a
great
part
of
it
in
this
his
Setting
.
)
And
most
fit
it
is
,
that
his
Name
should
be
Canonized
,
and
for
ever
had
Sacred
in
our
Kalendar
and
Church-Annals
.
About
the
same
time
died
also
Dr.
Brian
Walton
Lord-Bishop
of
Chester
,
famous
for
the
Polyglotte-Bible
,
and
other
Excellencies
becoming
a
Prelate
;
nor
did
his
successor
Dr.
Ferne
many
weeks
outlive
him
,
whose
defences
of
the
Church
will
never
be
forgotten
.
And
lastly
died
Dr.
Thomas
Fuller
,
known
by
his
several
Books
and
indefatigable
industry
,
better
than
by
any
account
can
here
be
given
of
him
.
Such
a
Train
of
Scholars
and
Learned
men
did
barbarous
Death
lead
in
Triumph
to
the
Captivating
Grave
,
that
her
envious
Pomp
might
draw
our
eye
and
tears
to
this
sad
spectacle
,
and
that
might
honourably
accompany
the
Fate
of
the
Bishop
of
Hereford
.
Another
Fleet
for
Portugal
and
Tangier
.
A
Fleet
was
Rigg'd
and
set
to
Sea
to
fetch
home
the
Queen
from
Portugal
,
and
to
carry
the
Forces
to
Tangier
,
which
was
delivered
by
the
Portugueze
Garrison
to
Sir
Richard
Stayner
,
who
with
500
men
was
left
to
maintain
it
till
the
Earl
of
Peterborough
,
designed
for
that
Command
,
should
arrive
.
And
for
the
Queens
own
Transportation
,
the
Royal
Charles
,
which
brought
the
King
from
Holland
,
was
sent
with
this
Fleet.
In
the
mean
while
,
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
the
King's
Aunt
died
,
February
13.
aged
66
years
,
having
been
out
of
England
49
years
,
and
survived
all
the
misfortunes
of
her
Family
,
which
almost
from
the
time
of
her
Marriage
in
1612.
on
St.
Valentines
day
(
on
the
eve
of
which
she
now
died
)
had
fallen
very
thick
,
and
chiefly
and
solely
upon
it
:
Queen
of
Bohemia
dies
Feb.
13.
A
Storm
Feb.
18.
She
now
came
to
her
rest
among
her
Royal
Ancestors
and
Relations
,
whose
Glories
and
Honours
she
left
more
flourishing
and
greater
than
ever
.
Her
Decease
was
followed
with
a
most
violent
and
Tempestuous
Winde
,
February
the
18th
,
(
by
which
several
persons
were
killed
,
and
much
damage
done
in
all
parts
of
the
three
Kingdoms
,
and
in
Forrain
Countries
)
which
might
give
notice
,
that
all
those
Troubles
and
Calamities
this
Princess
had
suffered
,
and
by
which
most
parts
of
Europe
were
Tempested
,
were
quite
blown
over
,
and
she
gone
to
her
last
Repose
.
A
very
unfortunate
accident
happened
the
same
Month
;
An
unfortunate
Accident
happened
to
the
Lord
Buckhurst
and
others
.
The
Lord
Buckhurst
but
now
mentioned
,
his
Brother
Mr.
Edward
Sackvile
,
Sir
Henry
Bellasis
Knight
of
the
Bath
Son
and
Heir
to
the
Lord
Bellasis
,
Mr.
Bellasis
Brother
to
the
Lord
Faulconbridge
,
and
Mr.
Wentworth
Son
to
Sir
George
,
accompanying
an
acquaintance
out
of
Town
,
upon
their
Return
,
being
informed
there
were
High-way
men
and
Thieves
in
the
Road
,
meeting
a
Tanner
,
and
suspecting
him
for
one
of
them
,
after
some
resistance
made
by
him
,
killed
him
:
for
this
mischance
they
were
Arraigned
at
the
Kings
Bench
Bar
,
but
by
the
Iury
quitted
;
it
not
being
probable
,
that
Persons
of
their
Estates
and
Quality
would
set
upon
a
single
Person
to
do
him
injury
,
but
it
might
happen
meerly
by
a
mistake
,
and
good
intent
of
freeing
the
Road.
The
Parliament
had
under
their
consideration
the
bringing
of
Lambert
and
Vane
to
their
Tryal
,
Lambert
and
Vane
ordered
to
Tryal
.
being
excepted
out
of
the
Act
of
Oblivion
,
as
main
Authors
and
Contrivers
of
those
Troubles
in
the
Rebellion
,
and
therefore
desired
His
Majesty
that
he
would
be
pleased
to
send
for
them
from
their
remote
Prisons
they
were
in
,
that
they
might
be
brought
to
Tryal
;
that
such
bold
Treasons
might
not
pass
with
impunity
.
On
the
other
hand
,
that
they
might
testifie
their
acknowledgments
to
the
Duke
of
Albemarle
,
of
his
great
merit
and
services
,
in
the
Redemption
of
his
Country
;
they
by
Act
now
resolved
to
settle
some
Mannors
and
Lands
upon
him
,
The
General
honoured
,
&c.
and
confirmed
the
Kings
Grants
and
Patents
,
or
what
should
afterwards
by
Grants
or
Patents
be
conferred
on
him
.
The
Duke
of
Ormond
was
likewise
presented
with
the
sum
of
Thirty
thousand
pounds
in
Bills
of
Exchange
,
as
a
gratuity
from
the
Parliament
of
Ireland
,
in
respect
of
the
Services
he
had
done
that
Kingdome
in
the
same
capacity
before
;
where
also
the
Bill
of
settlement
of
Lands
was
the
sole
Affair
in
Debate
,
the
difficulty
about
Claims
of
the
English
and
Irish
,
intricating
and
perplexing
the
Bill
;
so
that
the
Dukes
presence
was
very
much
desired
,
as
by
whose
prudence
,
understanding
,
and
competent
knowledge
,
together
with
his
equal
relation
to
both
Parties
,
that
tedious
Work
could
only
be
accommodated
,
which
brings
with
it
the
conclusion
of
the
year
1661
,
the
14
th
year
of
the
King
.
Anno
Domini
1662.
THE
beginning
of
this
,
and
the
end
of
the
last
year
,
was
remarkable
with
a
very
notable
Providence
,
which
for
the
more
compact
account
of
it
,
is
totally
referred
hither
.
It
hapned
,
that
among
other
the
Fugitives
for
the
parricidial
Conspiracy
in
the
Death
of
the
King
,
Miles
Corbet
,
Colonel
Okey
,
and
Col.
Barkstead
,
which
had
traversed
most
parts
of
Low
,
and
some
of
High
Germany
,
where
they
had
for
a
while
resided
at
the
City
of
Hanow
,
under
borrowed
names
;
about
the
beginning
of
March
were
returned
to
Delf
in
Holland
,
having
appointed
their
Wives
to
meet
them
there
,
to
understand
their
Affairs
in
England
;
but
these
their
Letters
being
intercepted
and
opened
by
the
vigilance
of
Sir
George
Downing
His
Majesties
Resident
at
the
Hag●e
,
they
were
all
three
taken
together
at
Barkstead's
and
Okey's
Lodging
,
just
as
Corbet
after
Supper
was
going
home
,
Miles
Corbet
.
Colonel
Okey
and
Barkstead
taken
in
Holland
,
sent
over
to
the
Tower
.
by
the
Thief-takers
and
the
Marshal
of
that
Town
.
Okey
offered
a
resolute
Escape
;
Barkstead
denyed
himself
,
and
desired
he
might
fetch
his
Cloak
in
the
next
Room
,
Corbet
(
as
he
said
)
having
taken
Physick
that
day
,
fell
a
Purging
upwards
and
downwards
in
a
very
strange
manner
.
Sir
George
himself
was
present
at
the
seizure
,
and
had
them
that
Night
secured
in
the
common
and
ordinary
Prison
,
and
thence
conveyed
them
by
the
States
order
on
Board
the
Blackmore
Frigot
,
then
accidentally
at
Helve●t-Sluce
,
having
only
brought
over
Mr.
Armorer
sent
from
the
King
to
the
Lords
upon
special
occasions
.
About
the
end
of
March
they
came
to
Gravesend
,
where
Sir
Iohn
Robinson
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
,
by
Warrant
from
his
Majesty
,
with
a
Guard
carried
them
to
the
Tower
;
whence
on
the
16th
of
April
they
were
brought
to
the
Kings
Bench
Bar
,
and
there
demanded
what
they
could
say
for
themselves
,
why
they
should
not
die
according
to
Law
,
the
Act
of
Attainder
being
read
to
them
:
To
which
they
alledged
,
they
were
not
the
same
persons
mentioned
therein
;
whereupon
Witnesses
being
ready
,
were
called
,
and
a
Jury
impannelled
,
who
gave
verdict
that
they
were
the
same
persons
;
and
so
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
Foster
proceeded
to
Sentence
,
which
was
the
same
with
the
former
complices
and
sufferers
for
that
Fact
,
Sentenced
and
Executed
Ap.
2.
and
was
Executed
on
Saturday
,
April
the
19
,
at
Tyburn
,
where
they
with
better
ends
than
any
of
the
rest
,
acknowledged
their
resolved
acquiescence
under
the
Kings
Government
,
as
of
God
,
and
exhorted
others
to
do
so
;
especially
Colonel
Okey
,
a
person
that
for
his
valour
and
other
good
qualities
was
pitied
by
all
men
,
for
his
being
so
blinded
and
ensnared
in
this
Crime
to
his
destruction
.
They
all
pretended
no
malice
to
his
late
Majesty
,
and
their
mistake
of
the
Parliaments
Authority
for
good
and
sufficient
.
They
were
all
three
Hanged
,
Bowelled
,
and
Quartered
;
but
his
Majesty
was
graciously
pleased
,
Col.
Okey
's
body
gi●en
to
his
Friends
.
out
of
regard
to
Colonel
Okey's
Christian
and
dutiful
carriage
,
to
return
his
Quarters
to
his
Friends
to
be
interred
;
which
was
done
in
the
Chappel
of
the
Tower
,
by
the
Rites
appointed
in
the
Common-Prayer
,
to
prevent
the
unruly
concourse
of
the
Fanaticks
,
who
assembled
in
multitudes
to
accompany
his
Corps
,
insomuch
that
the
Sheriffs
were
forced
to
disperse
them
.
Barkstead's
and
Corbet's
quarters
were
set
upon
the
Gates
,
the
Head
of
the
former
upon
a
Pole
on
Traytors
Gate
in
the
Tower
;
and
Corbet's
on
London-Bridge
.
For
this
kindeness
and
civility
of
the
Dutch
States
,
the
King
ordered
his
Resident
to
thank
them
in
his
Name
;
from
which
parts
several
of
the
Fanaticks
that
fled
thither
upon
the
Kings
Restitution
,
about
this
time
travelled
into
Germany
,
an
invitation
being
published
from
one
of
the
Princes
there
,
for
all
Nations
to
come
and
inhabit
(
with
full
priviledges
and
immunities
)
certain
waste
places
of
his
Dominions
;
and
an
invitation
was
sent
hither
from
them
to
others
of
the
same
principles
to
follow
them
.
Her
Majesty
Queen
Catharina
was
now
expected
to
be
at
Sea
,
and
therefore
his
Majesty
came
to
the
Parliament
and
acquainted
them
with
the
same
,
and
desired
that
as
a
Complement
to
her
,
they
would
cause
the
Highways
and
Streets
of
London
to
be
fitted
and
cleansed
against
her
reception
,
and
to
make
what
hast
with
convenience
they
could
,
with
the
dispatch
of
those
Bills
under
their
consideration
.
And
soon
after
,
to
remedy
the
perversness
and
obstinacy
of
the
Quakers
against
taking
the
Oaths
of
Allegeance
and
Supremacy
,
and
their
meeting
(
and
Conventicling
publickly
together
)
to
the
pestring
of
the
prisons
whither
they
were
Committed
,
and
their
Enthusiast
tricks
(
one
Thomas
formerly
a
Lieutenant
of
that
party
,
poysoning
himself
;
and
one
Powel
a
Widdow
poysoning
of
her
Son-in-law
and
another
person
)
a
Bill
was
passed
against
them
,
Acts
of
Parliament
passed
.
with
the
said
Bill
for
High-ways
,
now
ready
for
the
King's
assent
,
which
he
gave
by
his
Commission
to
the
Lord
Chancellor
,
Lord
Treasurer
,
Duke
of
Albemarle
,
and
Earl
of
Manchester
.
By
this
Act
several
inconvenient
passages
in
London
are
to
be
enlarged
,
and
Houses
that
jutted
into
the
street
and
obstructed
the
ways
,
were
to
be
pulled
down
,
as
the
upper
end
of
Ludgate-hill
,
on
the
South-side
of
the
street
,
and
elsewhere
.
Having
but
onely
mentioned
the
Kings
Declaration
of
his
Marriage
,
for
his
choice
,
whereof
both
the
Lords
and
Commons
returned
him
their
thanks
;
it
will
not
be
impertinent
in
this
place
to
give
a
larger
and
fuller
account
thereof
.
This
Royal
Bride
Heaven
had
more
especially
prepared
and
predisposed
out
of
the
Royal
Family
of
the
Kings
of
Portugal
;
An
account
of
the
Marriage
of
the
King
,
&c.
which
having
suffered
an
Ecclipse
by
the
powerful
interposition
of
the
Spanish
Monarchy
,
for
the
space
of
neer
an
hundred
years
,
was
now
revisited
in
its
Splendor
in
the
assumption
of
Iohn
(
Duke
of
Braganza
)
the
fourth
of
that
Name
King
of
Portugal
,
by
almost
as
miraculous
a
Turn
as
that
of
our
Captivity
by
the
Kings
Restitution
.
So
Providence
was
pleased
to
adapt
and
fit
both
these
Princes
Conditions
and
Estates
to
this
happy
juncture
of
them
in
this
Royal
and
happy
Estate
.
This
was
designed
by
King
Iohn
in
the
beginning
of
our
Troubles
,
and
of
his
Reign
;
and
was
one
of
the
first
Acts
of
State
he
did
with
us
,
managed
here
by
Don
Antonio
de
Souza
his
Embassadour
hither
,
who
was
very
instrumental
in
transacting
His
late
Majesties
Affairs
of
Forraign
Concernments
,
receiving
and
returning
his
Dispatches
.
One
Ingredient
no
doubt
in
point
of
Civility
and
Honour
,
among
those
other
of
Affection
and
Interest
,
that
make
up
this
Princely
Match
.
These
were
something
,
as
also
his
Majesties
reflection
on
his
Personal
picque
with
the
Spaniard
,
who
had
very
much
disobliged
him
in
the
time
of
the
Usurpation
,
by
courting
and
owning
his
Rebels
,
to
satisfie
himself
of
some
pretended
injuries
done
him
by
his
Grandfather
and
Father
,
by
loss
of
his
Spanish
Fleet
in
the
Downs
,
which
the
King
had
a
most
inviting
opportunity
here
to
remember
.
Upon
the
return
of
the
Conde
de
Mello
,
as
aforesaid
,
with
the
Articles
of
Treaty
and
Marriage
to
Lisbon
,
they
were
presently
noysed
about
the
City
,
and
more
loudly
reported
from
all
the
Cannon
in
the
River
,
both
Portuges
and
Forraigners
;
by
which
means
,
without
further
Proclamation
,
it
was
publick
about
the
Town
;
who
like
over-joyed
People
,
betook
themselves
to
the
presentest
,
yet
most
solemn
de
monstrations
thereof
,
by
Bonfires
and
Entertainments
,
&c.
the
Streets
resounding
with
Healths
,
al
Re
del
Grand
Brettanna
;
which
continued
that
Night
and
the
next
Day
.
Not
long
after
,
by
an
Express
from
England
from
the
King
to
her
,
she
was
Complemented
with
the
Stile
of
Queen
of
Great
Britain
;
which
put
that
Court
into
a
new
Splendor
,
both
to
her
Retinue
and
Attendance
;
and
all
Honours
and
Duties
done
her
,
as
if
she
were
actually
Crowned
.
It
will
not
be
much
material
to
insist
on
all
the
other
particulars
,
viz.
those
several
Messages
sent
and
returned
betwixt
those
two
Royal
Lovers
,
together
with
the
intercourse
betwixt
the
Two
Crowns
in
point
of
Alliance
and
Security
;
nor
the
numerous
resort
of
the
English
every
day
to
Worship
this
Sun
of
the
East
,
and
pay
their
Early
Devotions
to
her
:
It
will
be
more
unnecessary
to
relate
those
Romances
and
Fictions
made
by
the
Phanatick
Crew
at
Home
,
that
there
were
a
Fleet
of
Spaniards
and
Hollanders
that
lay
ready
in
her
way
to
intercept
her
Passage
into
England
.
We
will
only
mention
the
happy
Arrival
of
that
Fleet
and
the
Royal
Charles
from
England
,
(
with
Sir
Richard
Fa●shaw
sent
to
salute
the
Queen
for
his
Majesty
,
who
now
impatiently
expected
her
Arrival
,
as
did
the
whole
Nation
together
with
him
.
)
Just
at
the
same
time
the
Earl
of
Sandwich
now
the
second
time
visited
the
Queen
,
being
appointed
to
attend
her
departure
,
and
to
convey
her
into
England
;
the
King
her
Brother
,
and
Mother
,
with
his
Nobles
and
the
whole
Court
,
in
a
solemn
Procession
and
Cavalcade
from
his
Palace
,
where
the
English
Gallantry
there
present
assisted
,
accompanied
her
,
till
she
Arrived
at
the
River-side
(
the
Golden
Tagus
)
where
she
entred
a
Stately
Brigandine
,
and
the
Naval
Triumphs
commenced
their
Glory
.
For
as
soon
as
the
King
and
Queen
were
reimbarqued
for
Lisbon
,
The
Queen
reReimbarques
April
13.
and
returned
with
the
discharge
of
all
the
Cannon
,
the
Fleet
immediately
with
a
fair
wind
and
leading
Gale
,
began
their
course
,
being
as
they
past
the
River
saluted
by
all
the
Block-Houses
,
Forts
,
and
Castles
,
with
the
imitation
of
their
Thunder
.
That
Night
,
and
part
of
the
next
day
,
the
Wind
and
Weather
was
very
propitious
;
but
then
coming
clear
about
and
contrary
,
it
so
retarded
the
Voyage
,
that
in
a
Fortnights
time
they
hardly
got
into
the
middle
of
the
Bay
of
Biscay
,
where
the
Queens
Majesty
dispatcht
away
Mr.
Montague
,
Sir
Tho.
Sands
,
and
Sir
Ioseph
Douglas
,
on
the
29
of
April
at
Seven
at
Night
,
to
give
an
account
to
the
King
of
Her
Condition
;
which
the
untowardliness
and
averseness
of
the
Wind
had
much
altered
,
by
protracting
her
longing
desires
of
meeting
the
King
;
and
also
incommodating
her
by
the
tossing
and
topping
of
the
Sea
,
so
that
she
lay
sick
for
the
most
part
of
the
Voyage
;
until
about
Fifth
of
May
,
with
indefatigable
working
and
skill
,
the
whole
Fleet
reached
the
Islands
of
Scilly
▪
the
furthermost
Western
Dominions
of
England
.
The
Duke
of
York
at
Sea
to
attend
the
Queens
Arrival
,
with
the
Duke
o●
Osmond
,
&c.
Her
Arrival
had
been
every
day
expected
a
fortnight
before
;
which
caused
the
King
to
send
down
his
only
Brother
the
Duke
of
York
,
Lord
High
Admiral
,
to
attend
on
her
upon
the
Coast
,
and
to
Complement
her
in
his
Name
:
whereupon
his
Highness
hasted
to
Portsmouth
;
and
on
the
Eleventh
of
May
attended
by
the
Duke
of
Ormond
,
the
Earls
of
Suffolk
and
Chesterfield
,
the
Lord
Berckley
,
and
other
Persons
of
Quality
,
went
aboard
the
stately
Yacht
,
with
which
the
City
of
Amsterdam
presented
the
King
,
to
Coast
about
the
Isle
of
Wight
to
meet
her
Majesty
.
On
the
same
day
Sir
Ioseph
Douglas
making
towards
Portsmouth
with
an
Express
from
her
Majesty
to
the
King
,
was
met
by
his
Highness
the
Duke
of
York
,
five
Leagues
off
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
who
commanded
him
back
with
him
to
the
Fleet.
On
Sunday
morning
about
ten
a
Clock
,
they
discovered
the
Royal
Iames
;
but
there
was
so
great
a
Calm
,
that
they
could
not
reach
the
Royal
Charles
till
six
at
Evening
.
No
sooner
had
the
General
espied
his
Highness
Yacht
,
but
he
went
out
in
his
Barge
to
meet
him
,
the
Royal
Banner
being
all
the
while
vayl'd
till
he
was
aboard
.
When
his
Highness
came
into
the
Ship
,
the
Souldiers
gave
three
several
shouts
,
and
all
the
great
Guns
in
the
Royal
Charles
(
which
from
that
time
to
the
Queens
Entrance
had
been
silent
)
proclaimed
his
Welcome
;
after
which
,
several
Ships
of
the
Fleet
paid
him
their
Salutes
.
Being
conducted
to
her
Majesties
Cabbin
,
he
was
placed
in
a
Chair
on
her
right
hand
,
where
after
several
expressions
of
Joy
for
her
Majesties
happy
Arrival
on
the
Coast
of
England
;
and
having
presented
his
Majesties
high
respects
to
,
and
as
exceeding
Affection
for
Her
;
his
Royal
Highness
took
his
leave
,
to
retire
himself
to
his
Yacht
for
that
Night
:
and
the
next
morning
Sir
Ioseph
Douglas
was
again
dispatched
to
the
King
,
in
the
illustrious
Company
of
the
said
Duke
of
Ormond
and
Earls
;
but
was
forced
to
Tide
it
thence
,
and
sometimes
lay
at
Anchor
,
and
could
not
reach
Portsmouth
till
the
Evening
,
Thirteenth
of
May
,
from
whence
Sir
Ioseph
took
Post
,
leaving
the
Duke
of
Ormond
to
make
preparation
for
the
Reception
of
her
Majesty
.
Queen
Arrives
May
13.
That
Night
the
Royal
Fleet
with
the
Princely
Bride
came
to
St.
Helens
point
,
the
Eastermost
Promontory
of
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
almost
opposite
to
Portsmouth
,
from
whence
,
had
it
not
been
too
bold
an
adventure
to
hazard
her
Majesty
in
that
narrow
Streight
of
Sea
,
and
in
a
Night-Tide
,
they
might
have
reached
Portsmouth
the
next
morning
;
but
making
use
of
the
Day-tide
,
which
served
about
Ten
of
the
Clock
,
on
Wednesday
the
Fourteenth
of
May
,
the
Queen
landed
at
Portsmouth
,
about
Four
of
the
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
where
She
was
received
with
all
possible
demonstrations
of
Honour
;
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
,
and
Multitudes
of
Londoners
,
in
most
rich
Apparel
,
and
in
great
numbers
,
waiting
on
the
Shore
for
her
Landing
;
and
the
Major
and
Aldermen
,
and
the
Principal
Persons
of
that
Corporation
,
being
in
their
Gowns
,
and
with
a
Present
and
Speech
,
ready
to
entertain
Her
;
the
Cannon
and
small
shot
,
both
from
round
that
Town
,
and
the
whole
Fleet
,
Ecchoing
to
one
another
the
loud
Proclamations
of
their
Joy
.
The
King
stays
to
give
his
consent
to
Bills
Preparing
.
The
King
having
received
the
express
of
his
Queens
Landing
,
prepared
to
be
gone
forthwith
,
to
Salute
her
upon
her
Arrival
:
but
his
great
Affairs
of
State
,
and
Bills
to
be
ratified
by
him
into
Acts
of
Parliament
,
which
were
not
quite
ready
for
his
Royal
Assent
,
delayed
him
at
Whitehall
till
Monday-night
the
19
th
of
May
,
having
sent
before
him
the
Bishop
of
London
,
who
departed
the
Seventeenth
,
in
order
to
the
Solemnizing
of
the
Marriage
aforesaid
.
Which
Bills
being
numerous
,
and
very
important
,
when
passed
into
Acts
,
set
us
right
where
we
were
the
same
time
Twenty
years
,
designing
and
enacting
Remedies
against
those
Mischiefs
which
prevailed
against
the
happy
Estate
of
the
Kingdome
before
,
such
as
their
Act
passed
in
the
former
Session
against
Armed
,
or
Army-like
Multitudes
,
and
number
of
Petitioners
,
which
are
not
to
exceed
seven
or
eight
;
and
have
,
as
far
as
humane
Wisdome
can
,
provided
against
the
like
dangers
of
our
late
Confusions
.
There
passed
likewise
many
several
private
Bills
for
selling
of
Lands
,
The
Nature
of
several
private
Bills
.
and
alienating
them
for
payment
of
Debts
;
which
gave
his
Majesty
occasion
to
take
notice
of
the
depravity
and
corruption
of
manners
in
the
late
times
;
and
to
declare
,
that
his
goodness
in
passing
them
now
,
should
not
be
brought
into
precedent
for
the
future
,
and
he
himself
would
become
an
example
of
frugality
,
and
would
provide
sumptuary
Laws
against
the
Excess
and
Vanity
of
the
Age
,
whose
looseness
and
superfluity
did
so
sadly
affect
him
.
But
to
return
.
His
Majesty
having
Signed
all
the
Acts
,
which
are
now
so
many
wholesome
and
good
Laws
,
as
no
Age
of
our
Fore-fathers
can
boast
of
,
to
adorn
and
Honour
his
Queens
Arrival
,
posted
away
at
Nine
a
Clock
that
Night
,
with
his
ordinary
Guards
,
in
the
Earl
of
Northumberland's
Coach
,
Prince
Rupert
with
him
only
,
to
Kingston
,
where
he
came
soon
after
Ten
;
and
at
the
end
of
that
Town
entered
into
the
Earl
of
Chesterfield's
,
there
set
ready
for
him
,
and
the
Duke
of
York's
Guards
to
attend
him
,
and
came
before
Twelve
at
Night
to
Guilford
,
being
Twenty
five
miles
,
where
he
Lodged
that
Night
,
and
next
morning
Posted
with
the
same
speed
to
Portsmouth
,
King
at
Portsmouth
.
where
he
arrived
about
Noon
;
and
because
of
the
Queens
indisposedness
,
which
yet
held
her
in
her
Chamber
,
the
King
satisfied
himself
by
giving
her
a
Visit
privately
that
day
,
and
then
withdrew
to
his
own
appartments
.
Yet
it
pleased
God
to
restore
her
Majesty
to
such
a
degree
of
Health
,
that
she
was
able
to
Consummate
the
Marriage
Sacred
Rites
,
which
were
performed
in
that
Town
,
in
private
;
after
which
the
Nuptials
were
concluded
there
,
by
his
Majesties
Bedding
his
Queen
that
night
.
During
the
rest
of
the
stay
,
Visits
were
given
to
the
Grandees
of
Portugal
who
came
over
with
the
Queen
,
by
all
the
English
Lords
and
Ladies
,
and
by
them
again
returned
,
until
the
removal
of
the
Court
next
week
to
Winchester
,
thence
to
Farnham
,
to
Windsor-Castle
,
and
so
to
Hampton-Court
,
where
their
Majesties
took
up
the
most
part
of
this
Summer
1662.
as
well
for
the
Salubrity
as
Majesty
of
it
,
being
one
of
the
most
Magnificent
Structures
of
all
the
Royal
Palaces
.
Here
the
Queen
received
the
Addresses
of
all
the
Nobility
,
Queen

Hampton-Court
.
and
Submissions
of
the
several
Deputies
for
the
Cities
of
England
;
more
particularly
,
from
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Aldermen
of
London
,
who
by
Sir

Wylde
their
Recorder
(
who
pronounced
a
Spanish
Oration
)
presented
her
with
a
Purse
of
Gold
,
Iune

On
the
Twenty
third
of
August
she
was
in
great
Triumph
brought
by
Water
from
Hampton-Court
to
finish
her
Voyage
to
Whitehall
;
all
the
Companies
in
their
Barges
nobly
set
out
,
attending
the
Lord
Mayor
at
this
Solemnity
;
and
several
Pageants
were
placed
upon
the
River
,
and
Speeches
designed
.
All
which
made
a
very
noble
sight
,
illustrated
by
the
rich
and
glorious
setting
out
of
the
King's
Barge
.
About
seven
at
night
,
their
Majesties
arrived
to
that
Palace
;
as
somewhat
before
,
the
Queen-Mother
,
being
fetch'd
and
attended
by
the
Earl

a
while
after
she

,
till
her

likewise
agreed
upon
an
Act
for
raising
One
hundred

twenty
thousand

in
two
years
,
by
Subsidies
.
In
Scotland
,
six
Bishops
were
Consecrated
,
in
the
Abbey-Church
of
Holy-Rood-House
at
Edenburgh
,
with
great
satisfaction
and
solemnity
;
where
also
the
King
had
gratiously
Pardoned
Lorn
the
Marquess
of
Arguile's
Son
,
Lord
Lorn
pardoned
by
the
King
.
his
Life
,
which
he
had
forfeited
by
judgment
in
Parliament
;
the
merciful
disposition
of
the
King
declining
the
instigates
of
his
justice
against
the
demerits
of
so
obnoxious
and
Capital
a
Deliquent
.
While
the
main
Fleet
,
with
the
General
the
Earl
of

,
was
upon

with
the
Queen
from
Lisbon
,
Vice-Admiral
Sir
Iohn
Lawson
,
with
the
Frigots
left

fro
about
the
Barbary-shore
,
taking
and
sacking
all
Vessels
belonging
to
the
Pyratical
Trade
of
those
Places
,
to
the

the
Nest
of
those
Infidel
Thieves
;
and
on
the
Twentieth
of
April
,
having
notice
of
some
of
their
Ships
in
a
Port
called
Bugia
,
he
fell
in
with
his
Frigots
in
spight
of
their
Castles
and
Guns
,
and
burnt
and
rendred
them
unserviceable
,
and
came
out
again
with
little
loss
,
April
the
Twentieth
;
which
,
with
the
despair
of
being
rid
of
him
and
his
Fleet
,
made
the
Algier
Bashaw
stoop
now
to
the
offer
of
a
Treaty
,
and
to
former
Articles
,
with
the
required
advantage
to
our
Commerce
in
those
Ports
and
Seas
,
which
were
sent
from
Sir
Iohn
Lawson
about
Iune
,
and
brought
to
the
King
at
Hampton-Court
,
who
very
well
approved
of
it
;
the
Dutch
having
concluded
a
very
shameful
Peace
or
Truce
with
them
about
the
same
time
.
Tangiers
condition
.
Our
Prossession
of
Tangier
alarm'd
the
adjacent
African
Potentates
with
the
danger
of
our
encroachments
,
and
the
Fame
of
our
Warlike
Martial
Atchievements
by
Land
as
well
as
by
Sea
;
which
consideration
drew
down
into
the
confines
of
that
Place
one
Gayland
a
Warlike
Prince
,
but
then
a
Rebel
against
the
King
of
Morocco
and
Fez
,
and
usurping
part
of
his
Dominions
;
who
continued
there
,
appearing
and
disappering
for
a
space
of
time
,
upon
pretence
of
a
League
and
Friendship
,
when
meeting
of
a
suddain
as
he
was
ranging
thereabouts
with
his
Horse
(
the
swiftest
in
the
World
,
)
with
some
of
our
Forces
Forraging
for
Provision
and
Horse-meat
,
he
surprized
and
defeated
them
.
Their
manner
of
fight
being
to
leave
and
take
as
they
see
advantage
,
which
they
do
with
very
active
and
quick
force
and
resolution
.
Since
,
we
requited
it
upon
some
of
his
venturing
straglers
:
not
long
after
,
he
came
very
freely
and
entred
into
Treaty
,
which
he
finished
,
and
is
in
good
Amity
at
present
with
us
.
Shortly
after
,
the
Earl
of
Peterborough
returned
thence
,
and
gave
his
Majesty
an
account
of
the
place
,
and
the
Lord
Rutherford
late
Governour
of
Dunkirk
,
and
newly
made
Earl
of
Tiviot
,
is
now
the
Governour
thereof
;
and
Colonel
Alsop
,
an
antient
Souldier
throughout
the
War
,
Commands
under
him
.
The
King
hath
made
it
a
Free
Port
,
and
granted
it
all
the
Priviledges
of
a
Merchant-City
,
being
seated
very
conveniently
for
Commerce
,
especially
by
reason
of
the
security
thereof
.
This
Trinity-Term
Sir
Henry
Vane
and
Colonel
Lambert
,
at
the
request
of
the
Parliament
,
having
been
brought
from
their
remote
Prisons
in
Scilly
to
the
Tower
,
were
Arraigned
Iune
the
Fourth
,
before
Sir
Robert
Foster
Lord
chief
Justice
at
the
Kings
Bench
Bar
,
and
Indicted
;
Sir
Henry
,
Sir
Henry
Vane
and
Colonel
Lambert
Condemned
.
for
imagining
and
compassing
the
Death
of
the
King
,
and
for
taking
upon
him
,
and
usurping
the
Government
;
and
Colonel
Lambert
,
for
Levying
War
against
the
King
in
Middlesex
,
Cheshire
,
Yorkshire
,
and
other
places
of
the
North
of
this
Kingdom
.
Sir
Henry
Pleaded
the
Authority
of
Parliament
,
and
justified
it
,
and
put
the
Court
to
a
deal
of
needless
trouble
and
impertinent
repetition
,
but
disowned
his
medling
or
making
with
the
Kings
Death
.
Colonel
Lambert
behaved
himself
very
civilly
and
respectively
to
the
Court
,
and
pleaded
as
his
last
Plea
,
that
it
did
not
appear
by
any
additional
word
,
that
he
was
the
same
Iohn
Lambert
mentioned
in
the
Indictment
:
but
he
was
told
it
was
Iohn
Lambert
Esquire
;
and
then
he
confessed
civilly
his
not
minding
it
before
,
and
submitted
.
The
Counsel
then
craved
Judgment
against
him
;
the
Sollicitor-General
saying
,
That
good
manners
cannot
commute
for
Treason
.
Both
were
Sentenced
as
Traytors
,
but
the
Colonel
Reprieved
at
the
Bar
by
the
King's
favour
,
and
regard
had
to
the
report
the
Justices
had
given
him
of
his
submissive
and
handsome
deportment
at
his
Tryal
and
therefore
desired
the
Judges
to
return
unto
his
Majesty
his
most
humble
thanks
for
his
so
unexpected
mercy
(
which
the
Judges
said
might
have
been
,
and
was
)
once
thought
to
be
extended
to
Sir
Henry
,
if
his
frowardness
and
contemptuous
behaviour
had
not
precluded
the
way
to
it
:
He
nevertheless
had
this
favour
shown
him
,
at
the
intercession
of
some
of
his
Relations
,
who
had
deserved
well
of
the
King
in
his
service
,
Sir
Henry
Vane
Executed
June
1●
.
that
his
Majestie
mitigated
the
Sentence
to
a
Beheading
only
,
which
was
Executed
on
the
Fourteenth
of
Iune
,
on
the
Scaffold
at
Tower-Hill
(
where
the
Earl
of
Strafford
bled
first
by
his
Fathers
Treachery
,
)
and
there
he
ran
out
into
Treasonable
Discourses
,
but
was
stopt
;
and
after
two
or
three
warnings
,
his
Notes
endeavoured
to
be
taken
from
him
;
which
to
prevent
,
he
tore
them
in
pieces
,
and
in
that
Passion
submitted
to
the
Block
.
Several
Contrivances
and
Designes
being
related
to
the
Councel
,
A
Proclamation
for
Twenty
miles
,
againt
Rump
.
Officers
.
hatched
by
the
Phanatick
Party
,
caused
the
King
in
their
usual
method
to
retort
their
Twenty
Miles
Proclamation
upon
their
own
heads
,
commanding
all
Officers
,
&c.
under
any
of
the
late
Usurped
Powers
,
that
had
been
disbanded
,
to
depart
Twenty
miles
from
the
City
and
Suburbs
of
London
,
and
not
to
return
within
Eight
Moneths
;
such
only
excepted
as
by
the
Privy-Councel
upon
their
Application
to
them
,
should
obtain
licence
.
The
only
Discourse
and
Disputation
throughout
the
Kingdome
was
,
what
the
Presbyterian
could
expect
after
the
Act
of
Uniformity
was
passed
,
and
St.
Bartholomews
day
the
Twenty
fourth
of
August
expired
,
which
was
the
time
limited
for
their
Conforming
to
what
the
Act
had
required
,
by
renouncing
the
Covenant
,
and
reading
Divine
Service
and
Common-Prayer
in
Church-Vestments
,
as
the
Surplice
(
the
main
thing
bogled
at
.
)
Many
endeavours
there
had
been
before
in
Parliament
for
some
Toleration
,
Presbyterians
endeavours
for
Toleration
.
and
their
Friends
sollicited
to
the
utmost
;
but
not
able
to
carry
it
there
,
they
Applied
themselves
to
his
Majesty
and
the
Privy-Councel
,
(
the
most
of
them
having
deserted
and
relinquished
their
Livings
,
which
the
Bishop
of
London
with
much
prudence
and
foresight
had
provided
of
able
and
pious
Minister
,
and
exceptionless
,
whom
he
setled
in
their
places
)
but
upon
full
debate
of
their
Petition
,
and
as
full
a
hearing
,
the
Councel
laid
it
aside
,
there
being
none
present
to
answer
and
dispute
their
pretences
to
a
superseding
the
express
meaning
of
the
Act
,
but
the
aforesaid
Bishop
;
and
so
all
their
Chimaera's
or
expectations
they
had
raised
in
the
Country
by
their
Letters
,
to
the
obstinating
of
the
more
indifferent
to
the
resistance
of
this
Law
,
from
which
they
made
sure
to
get
a
Dispensation
(
to
the
ruine
of
some
Families
)
came
to
nothing
:
and
now
nothing
but
Transportation
was
talked
of
,
for
using
the
free
Exercise
of
that
Religion
.
The
Commissioners
for
Regulating
Corporations
had
likewise
proceeded
to
the
dismission
of
such
from
all
Offices
and
Places
in
Councel
,
and
otherwhere
,
who
refused
to
renounce
and
declare
the
said
Covenant
Illegal
,
and
Suspected
,
and
not
cleared
for
disaffection
to
the
Government
;
but
not
many
they
were
that
were
upon
this
account
outed
and
discharged
.
By
virtue
of
the
Allyance
and
Treaty
with
the
Crown
of
Portugal
,
several
Forces
were
sent
hence
to
Assist
that
Kingdome
against
the
prevailing
Power
of
the
Spaniard
,
who
just
at
the
Majority
of
that
King
,
and
his
taking
the
Government
into
his
own
hands
,
had
made
a
formidable
Invasion
and
Progress
into
those
Dominions
.
Forces
sent
under
the
Earl
of
Inchequeen
to
Assist
the
King
of
Portugal
.
These
Forces
most
of
them
immediately
set
Sayl
from
Dunkirke
,
some
Troops
and
Companies
Landing
there
from
Leith
,
all
Commanded
in
chief
by
his
Excellency
the
Earl
of
Inchiqueen
(
the
famous
Souldier
in
Ireland
)
Colonel
Morgan
late
Governour
of
Scotland
being
his
Major-General
:
they
arrived
well
and
in
good
health
there
,
on
the
Twenty
ninth
of
Iune
;
and
after
a
little
refreshment
,
(
and
being
prohibited
to
eat
the
Fruit
of
the
Countrey
for
fear
of
Fevours
and
other
Distempers
)
advanced
towards
the
Campania
:
but
the
Spaniard
having
notice
thereof
,
thought
it
not
advisable
to
Fight
with
them
in
their
strength
and
vigour
,
but
to
waste
them
with
the
usual
incommodities
of
those
Climates
to
us
,
and
retreated
back
again
immediately
into
Spain
.
In
Iuly
following
,
the
Duke
of
Ormond
Lord
Lieutenant
of
Ireland
,
His
Majesty
having
given
him
a
very
Honourable
and
friendly
farewel
,
Duke
of
Ormond
arrived
in
Ireland
.
and
having
received
the
like
civilities
from
the
whole
Court
,
set
forwards
in
his
Journey
and
Voyage
to
that
Kingdome
,
where
he
Arrived
three
weeks
after
,
and
was
most
Magnificently
received
into
the
City
of
Dublin
,
and
congratulated
and
welcomed
by
the
whole
Body
of
that
People
in
Parliament
;
to
whom
in
their
Assembly
he
delivered
himself
in
a
most
Excellent
Speech
.
There
was
mention
made
before
of
the
Commissioners
for
Regulating
Corporations
,
for
the
securing
of
the
peace
of
the
Kingdome
;
by
these
Gentlemen
named
for
each
County
,
City
and
Borrough
,
it
was
ordered
,
besides
the
displacing
of
Officers
,
that
the
Walls
of
the
respective
Cities
and
Towns
of
Gloucester
and
Coventry
,
Gloucester
Walls
,
&c.
Demolished
.
Northampton
,
Taunton
,
and
Leicester
,
and
other
places
which
had
Bulworks
and
Garrisons
,
and
maintained
them
throughout
the
War
against
the
King
,
and
were
the
Reception
of
and
maintenance
the
Rebellion
,
should
be
demolished
,
as
Examples
and
Security
to
successive
times
:
the
County-Troops
and
respective
Trained
Band-Regiments
guarded
these
places
when
they
were
Demolished
.
Dr.
Gauden
the
Bishop
of
Exeter
died
about
this
time
,
September
;
as
also
William
Lenthal
the
Speaker
of
the
Long
Parliament
,
very
penitently
.

the
Spaniard
in
One
thousand
six
hundred
fifty
eight
,
and
kept
ever
since
at
a
vast
and
great
charge
,
was
by
advice
of
the
Lords
of
his
Majesties
Privy
Councel
,
as
being
never
annexed
by
Act
of
Parliament
to
the
Crown

,
returned
to
the
French
King
,
who
upon
surrender
of
it
in
the
year
aforesaid
delivered
it
unto
us
.
Now
,
for
the
sum
of
Five
hundred
Thousand
pounds
fully

The
Honourable
Sir
Edward
Nicholas
,
having
served
his
Majesty
and
his
Father
as
Secretary
of
State
for
many
years
,
obtained
his
Quietus
est
from
the
King
,
who
would
have
dignified
his
Merit
with
a
Barrony
,
which
Sir
Edward
modestly
declined
,
because
His
Majesty
should
not
increase
the
Nobility
;
and
Sir
Henry
Bennet
,
late
the
Kings
Resident
in
Spain
,
a
very
excellent
Person
,
was
named
to
that
Preferment
.
Among
these
and
the
like
Honours
conferred
by
the
King
upon
his
Faithful
and
Loyal
Servants
and
Subjects
,
which
the
purport
of
this
Chronicle
obliged
me
to
take
notice
off
,
and
be
their
Herauld
;
this
time
challenged
my
observance
of
a
Dignity
conferred
on
that
eminent
and
worthy
Personage
Dr.
Iohn
Berkenhead
,
Dr.
John
Berkerhead
Knighted
.
Knighted
with
a
Testimony
from
his
Majesty
that
he
had
done
his
Father
and
himself
very
signal
and
great
services
during
the
last
twenty
years
Revolution
:
and
there
is
scarce
any
Honest
man
in
the
Three
Kingdoms
who
will
not
say
Amen
to
this
his
Majesties
EVGE
.
There
had
been
suspition
of
a
Plot
,
and
the
City
Trained
Bands
had
watched
and
warded
every
Night
,
for
the
most
part
of
the
Summer
,
ever
since
the
Kings
departure
to
meet
the
Queen
:
but
now
,
the
Design
appeared
;
the
first
named
was
one
Captain
Baker
a
New-England-man
,
an
acquaintance
of
Hugh
Peters
there
,
and
preferred
to
be
one
of
Olivers
Band
of
Pensioners
:
this
Fellow
acquaints
one
Hill
,
A
Plot
discovered
.
the
Son
of
a
Phanatick
or
Independant
Preacher
in
the
Street
,
and
tells
him
of
a
Designe
,
and
brings
him
acquainted
at
several
Meetings
of
divers
of
the
Conspiracy
,
which
he
having
good
information
of
,
revealed
,
with
the
names
of
the
Conspirators
,
to
Sir
Richard
Brown
.
Some
of
those
engaged
thus
,
only
met
,
and
heard
,
and
reported
their
discourses
of
Arms
and
other
preparations
to
their
own
gang
,
but
approved
the
Treason
so
well
,
that
they
never
discovered
it
.
This
Plot
was
against
the
Sacred
Life
of
the
King
,
the
Duke
of
York
,
the
noble
Duke
of
Albemarle
,
and
Sir
Richard
Brown
;
and
generally
the
Bishops
,
Nobility
,
Gentry
and
Commonalty
that
were
not
of
their
Opinions
,
and
Assisted
them
not
:
and
they
had
ready
prepared
a
draught
of
their
Government
:
their
Councels
were
carried
on
by
six
,
who
never
sate
twice
in
a
Place
;
nor
could
be
known
to
any
two
:
their
Commander
in
chief
was
Ludlow
,
Colonel
Danvers
,
Mr.
Nye
,
Mr.
Lockyer
,
and
one
Lieutenant
Strange
;
the
Captains
,
Spencer
and
Taverner
,
were
favourable
to
the
Design
,
and
would
surprize
Deal
Castle
in
Kent
,
as
Windsor
was
certain
to
be
theirs
:
and
the
Word
the
Night
they
were
to
fall
on
(
which
after
several
put offs
,
was
appointed
the
last
of
October
)
was
to
be
given
them
by
George
Phillips
a
Serjeant
in
the
Colonels
Company
of
the
White
Regiment
.
For
this
,
the
Eleventh
of
December
,
the
said
George
Phillips

Thomas
Tongue

a
Cheesmonger
,
Iames

,
Iohn

Nathanael
Gibs

were
Convicted
by
Evidence
of
their
fellow-Conspirators
,
Edward
Rigge
,
Bradley
and
others
;
only
Hind
Pleaded
Guilty
,
and
craved
the
King's
Mercy
:
they
alledged
,
they
never
Acted
such
Trayterous
intentions
;
but
the
Design
was
proved
to
have
been
communicated
and
laid
open
to
them
:
after
their
full
Defence
,
they
were
all
found
Guilty
;
and
on
the
Twenty
second
of
December

22.
Tongue
,
Gibs
and
Stubs
were
Executed
according
to
Sentence
:
but
His
Majesty
was
graciou●ly
pleased
to
give
their
Quarters
to
be
buried
,

their
Heads
to
be

nearest
place
to
the
Tower
.
On
the
Twenty
sixth
of
December
,
his
Majesty
,
to
satisfie
the
Kingdome
of
his
intents
,
in
reference
to
the
unsatisfiedness
of
Dissenters
to
the
Established
Settlement
of
the
Church
,
expressed
his
Indulgence
to
their
Consciences
,
so
far
as
such
Liberty
would
not
Disturb
the
Publick
Peace
;
nor
entrench
upon
the
Orthodox
Religion
professed
;
and
that
he
would
use
his
best
endeavours
with
the
Parliament
to
that
end
.
About
the
same
time
came
hither
a
very
splendid
Ambassy
from
the
Emperour
of
Russia
,
delegated
to
three
of
his
Knez
or
Princes
;
the
one
of
them
came
some
time
before
the
other
,
Embassadors
with
Presents
from
Russia
.
to
prepare
all
things
suitable
to
the
State
of
their
Reception
,
and
had
Audience
by
the
King
in
privatate
at
Hamton-Court
.
The
Principal
was
Knez
Peter
Simonewitz
formerly
Governour
of
Archangel
,
our
Port
of
Trade
in
those
Dominions
:
he
was
received
in
greater
State
than
any
former
Ambassadours
from
any
Prince
whatsoever
,
both
in
respect
He
useth
the
same
Honours
to
our
Soveraigns
Publick
Ministers
,
and
the
great
Immunities
and
Priviledges
the
English
enjoy
again
there
;
as
also
from
that
particular
Affection
which
is
between
these
Two
Monarchs
:
as
hath
been
hinted
before
.
At
his
Receipt
,
the
whole
Military
Force
of
the
City
was
in
Arms
,
Trained
Bands
,
Auxiliaries
,
Hamlets
,
Westminster-Regiments
;
several
of
the
Companies
and
Liveries
of
the
City
on
Horseback
in
their
Gold
Chains
,
with
the
Aldermen
of
the
City
Riding
before
him
,
who
near
York-House
(
where
he
was
to
be
entertained
by
the
King
,
during
his
stay
)
made
a
Lane
for
Him
to
pass
through
them
thereunto
:
Two
of
them
Rode
in
the
Kings
Coach
;
the
Principal
was
at
that
time
sick
,
and
came
by
Water
to
his
House
:
their
Retinue
,
according
to
their
Countrey
Fashion
,
were
Vested
in
a
long
Robe
girt
about
the
Middle
,
loop-laced
on
the
Breast
,
and
caped
behind
;
His
two
Coachmen
and
Postilions
the
like
,
though
English
men
:
there
were
some
Thirty
Servants
that
Rode
a
Horseback
with
Hawks
on
their
Fists
,
as
Presents
.
On
New
years-day
they
were
Conducted
to
White
Hall
,
where
they
delivered
their
Presents
of
Furs
,
as
black
Fox
Skins
,
Ermins
,
many
Timber
or
scores
of
Martins
,
Beavers
,
and
the
like
;
Persian-Carpets
,
three
Persian
Horses
,
Argamarick
,
and
other
Commodities
of
that
Country
,
as
Damask
,
Silks
,
and
Embroyderies
;
also
a
Ship
Loading
of
Hemp
:
there
were
Presents
of
the
like
Nature
from
the
Empress
to
the
Queen
;
and
from
the
Prince
of
Russia
likewise
:
they
were
all
received
with
that
affection
and
kindness
which
the
King
on
all
occasions
hath
manifested
to
have
for
that
great
Potentate
.
Two
of
those
Embassadors
departed
hence
for
France
,
and
so
to
Italy
;
the
Chief
stayed
to
to
return
in
Iune
with
our
ships
for
his
own
County
.
On
the
Twenty
sixth
of
December
at
night
,
in
the
House
of
one
Mr.
●
.
la
Noy
,
an
Hamborough
Merchant
,
who
had
lately
married
Sir
Thomas
All●●
Daughter
of
Middlesex
,
being
now
with
Child
,
as
the
Family
were
in
Bed
,
a
suddain
fire
,
without
breaking
out
into
the
Street
(
which
was
the
new
Buildings
in
Loathbury
,
where
others
stood
)
or
being
discerned
,
suddenly
consumed
all
that
were
within
,
goods
and
all
,
the
Chambers
and
Goods
being
all
burnt
from
top
to
bottom
,
and
not
a
shreik
or
cry
heard
,
it
being
supposed
the
greenness
of
the
Timber
,
smoking
more
vehemently
at
the
eruption
of
the
fire
,
instantly
smothered
them
.
A
very
sad
and
much-lamented
providence
,
seven
being
reckoned
that
were
killed
in
this
manner
.
The
fire
was
perceived
at
last
by
the
heat
it
caused
in
the
next
House
;
but
the
Bricks
and
the
shutters
in
the
Windows
kept
it
from
breaking
out
.
Notwithstanding
the
inhibition
to
Non-conforming
Ministers
to
Preach
or
Exercise
their
Ministry
,
and
the
penalties
thereof
;
yet
Mr.
Calamy
,
late
Pastor
of
Aldermanbury
,
by
reason
the
Parish
was
disappointed
on
Sunday
the
Twenty
eighth
of
December
by
a
blind
old
Minister
that
should
have
Preached
there
,
as
he
pretended
,
went
into
the
Pulpit
and
Preached
;
and
by
his
Text
,
and
Sermon
,
and
Inferences
,
did
reflect
hardly
and
strangely
upon
the
state
of
the
Church
,
and
beyond
his
Last
,
if
he
had
been
also
capacitated
to
Preach
.
Mr.
Calamy
Committed
.
For
this
Transgression
and
Contempt
,
he
was
by
Warrant
of
the
Lord
Mayor
committed
to
Newgate
,
where
many
persons
came
to
visit
him
,
to
his
no
little
advantage
;
but
within
two
or
three
days
,
was
by
his
Majesties
gracious
Clemency
and
his
Order
discharged
from
this
Imprisonment
,
though
it
were
an
Offence
done
,
as
it
were
,
to
affront
that
tenderness
held
forth
in
His
Majesties
Declaration
aforesaid
.
The
Bishop
of
Lincoln
the
famous
Casuist
,
Dr.
Sanderson
,
died
in
the
middle
of
Ianuary
;
as
many
of
that
Function
had
preceded
him
since
the
King's
Restitution
,
and
left
his
See
to
the
Lord
Bishop
of
Peterborough
,
Dr.
Laney
.
Lord
Warreston
in
the
Tower
.
The
Lord
Warreston
,
a
Committee
of
Safety-man
,
and
infamous
for
his
Treason
in
Scotland
,
and
a
Fugitive
there
,
being
Proclaimed
Rebel
and
Traytor
,
was
taken
and
secured
in
France
,
and
sent
over
hither
,
where
he
was
Committed
by
his
Majesties
Order
to
the
Tower
,
in
order
to
his
sending
for
Scotland
:
from
thence
Gibs
the
Brother
of
the
aforesaid
Nathanael
,
who
fled
,
and
was
lately
retaken
,
was
sent
to
the
Sessions
at
the
Old
Baily
,
February
the
Twentieth
,
and
with
the
before-mentioned
Baker
,
Condemned
for
the
same
former
Treason
,
and
both
Executed
at
Tyburn
in
like
manner
.
The
Nineteenth
of
February
the
Parliament
met
,
where
the
King
took
notice
of
his
said
Declaration
of
the
Twenty
sixth
of
December
,
Declaration
of
the
King
,
and
Resolutions
of
the
Parliament
.
wherein
he
cleared
himself
of
any
mistakes
,
as
favouring
Popery
:
though
he
acknowledged
the
Services
of
many
of
that
Profession
,
yet
he
was
so
far
from
Tolerating
or
qualifying
them
thereby
to
hold
any
Office
or
places
of
Trust
in
the
Government
,
that
he
desired
Laws
might
be
made
to
hinder
the
growth
of
their
Doctrine
:
That
his
Zeal
to
the
Protestant
Religion
and
Uniformity
shall
not
yield
to
the
Bishops
themselves
;
and
yet
,
if
the
Dissenters
will
demean
themselves
peaceably
and
modestly
under
the
Government
,
he
could
heartily
wish
He
had
such
a
Power
of
Indulgence
,
to
use
upon
occasions
,
as
might
not
needlesly
force
them
out
of
the
Kingdome
,
or
staying
here
,
give
them
Cause
to
Conspire
against
the
Peace
of
it
.
In
Answer
to
this
His
Majesties
Explanation
of
Himself
,
and
his
Declaration
of
the
Twenty
sixth
of
December
,
the
House
of
Commons
distinctly
and
separately
,
to
every
particular
thereof
,
gave
His
Majesty
their
most
humble
Thanks
;
withal
,
by
their
Votes
and
Addresses
to
him
,
Vindicating
their
settlement
of
Religion
in
the
antient
Form
,
Discipline
,
and
Government
thereof
,
from
the
Calumny
and
danger
of
Schism
;
and
promised
to
Assert
it
with
their
Lives
and
Estates
,
as
their
particular
and
Parliamentary
Honour
:
which
Resolutions
and
Reasons
being
of
so
recent
Date
,
and
the
Answer
of
the
King
not
yet
given
thereunto
,
which
out-measures
the
time
of
this
Chronicle
,
I
do
remit
to
another
unwearied
and
unperplexed
Pen.
Scotland
in
a
most
Peaceful
state
and
condition
;
and
the
Kingdome
of
Ireland
in
a
tendency
thereunto
:
but
through
so
many
variations
and
vicissitudes
of
Domination
and
propriety
the
Lands
thereof
had
passed
,
that
it
was
not
imaginable
the
total
subversion
thereof
by
the
Rebellion
of
both
Parties
there
,
the
Irish
and
Long
Parliament
,
could
devolve
things
into
any
presumed
security
,
it
having
been
the
first
and
last
Stage
of
the
War
.
—
sed
Tucro
Duce
&
Auspice
Tucro
—
But
the
Eminence
and
Prudence
of
this
Lord
Lieutenant
,
the
most
noble
Duke
of
Ormond
,
who
hath
so
often
Governed
this
Realm
,
hath
given
the
greatest
pledges
of
assurance
of
an
happy
Establishment
,
whose
beginning
I
will
not
trouble
with
the
short-lived
rumours
of
Commotions
and
Stirs
now
very
frequent
and
rise
by
the
Arts
of
our
Male-Contents
.
Thus
far
have
I
deduced
the
account
of
the
Three
Kingdoms
from
the
most
Funest
War
,
to
a
blessed
and
most
promising
Peace
to
us
and
our
Posterity
:
and
may
there
be
in
the
succeeding
years
of
His
Majesties
and
his
Royal
Progenies
Reign
(
which
Almighty
God
derive
through
innumerable
descents
)
no
other
occasion
of
our
Pens
than
the
gratulatory
Records
of
our
undisturbed
,
unalterable
Repose
,
Plenty
and
Tranquillity
.
