AN
ACCOUNT
Of
the
Manner
of
Taking
the
Lord
Chancellor
,
With
the
LORD
MAYOR'S
SPEECH
To
the
People
upon
that
Occasion
,
December
the
12th
.
1688.
THe
late
betrayers
and
underminers
of
the
ancient
Laws
and
Priviledges
of
their
Country
,
being
no
longer
able
to
carry
on
their
Devilish
Designs
,
and
seeing
Vengeance
at
their
Heels
,
to
the
amazement
of
all
the
World
,
on
a
sudden
fled
away
altogether
,
every
one
shifting
for
himself
as
well
as
he
could
,
amongst
which
Number
the
late
Lord
Chancellor
was
the
chief
,
whose
Politicks
and
Law
having
at
this
time
failed
him
,
he
thought
fitter
to
trust
to
his
Heels
than
to
his
Head
,
and
accordingly
on
Monday
the
10th
.
Instant
,
between
Three
and
Four
of
the
Clock
in
the
Morning
conveyed
himself
away
,
and
having
in
Disguise
got
down
safe
to
Wapping
thought
himself
safe
enough
,
having
put
himself
on
Board
a
Collier
,
which
he
pretended
was
Bound
fow
New-Castle
,
but
indeed
was
Designed
for
Hambourough
,
but
some
Persons
having
Notice
thereof
,
by
the
means
of
the
Mate
,
they
went
to
a
certain
Justice
for
a
Warrant
to
Apprehend
him
,
but
he
thought
fit
to
put
them
off
,
whereupon
they
applied
themselves
immediately
to
the
Lords
of
the
Council
,
who
granted
them
a
Warrant
,
whereupon
they
went
immediately
to
search
the
Ship
,
but
he
on
Tuesday
Night
,
thought
not
himself
safe
on
Board
the
Collier
,
in
which
he
was
to
pass
,
but
lay
in
another
Ship
hard
by
;
those
that
came
this
day
to
search
for
him
miss'd
of
him
on
board
,
but
had
information
given
them
that
he
was
hard
by
,
at
a
little
Pedling
Ale-House
a
taking
his
farewell-Pot
,
where
accordingly
they
found
him
,
being
the
Sign
of
the
Red-cow
in
Anchor
and
Hope-Alley
near
King
Edward
Stairs
in
Wapping
,
from
whence
they
immediately
hurry'd
him
in
a
Coach
Guarded
with
several
Blunderbusses
to
the
Lord
Mayors
,
where
the
Crowd
was
so
great
,
and
the
Rabble
so
Numerous
,
all
crying
out
together
Vengeance
,
Justice
,
Justice
;
that
the
Lord
Mayor
was
forced
to
come
out
into
his
Belcony
,
and
with
his
Hat
in
his
Hand
desired
the
People
to
go
away
,
and
keep
the
Peace
;
and
did
promise
them
that
he
had
already
sent
to
the
Lords
of
the
Council
about
the
Matter
,
and
that
they
should
have
Justice
done
them
;
and
that
in
the
mean
time
,
their
Prisoner
should
be
safely
Guarded
,
whereupon
the
People
withdrew
,
and
soon
after
my
Lord
under
a
strong
Guard
,
was
sene
to
the
Lords
of
the
Council
.
