THE SVMME OF THE Charge Given in by Lieutenant Generall CRVMWEL , Against the Earle of MANCHESTER .

THAT he the Earle of MANCHESTER , hath alwaies been indisposed , and backward to ingagements . And against the ending of the Warre by the sword ; And for such a peace to which a Victory would be a disadvantage ; and this declared by principles exprest to that purpose : And a continued series of cariages answerable . And since the taking of York , ( as if the Parliament had now advantage full enough ) He hath declined what ever tended to futther advantage upon the Enemy ; neglected and Studiously shifted off all opportunityes to that purpose , as if he thought the King to low , and the Parliament to high , especially at Dennington Castle . He hath drawne the Army too , and detained them in such a posture , as to give the Enemy fresh advantages ; and this before his conjunction with other Armies , by his owne absolute will , against , or without ▪ his Councell , against many Commands from the Committee of both Kingdome ; and with contempt , & vilifying of the Commands . And since the conjunction , somtimes against Councells of war , and somtimes perswading , and deluding the Councell , to neglect one opprotunity , with another , and that againe with a third , and at last when no other pretence would serve ; by perswading that it was not fit to fight at all .

After this expect a larger , and yet nothing but truth , and what is sufficiently proved , at a select Committee , of the House of Commons , whereof Mr. Lysle had the Chaire , with charge , with the prooffes therevpon ; was reported to the House , and there debated , and a home Vote thereupon passed ; above a yeare agoe , before the House was recruted with new Members ; Whereupon a potent Northerne Knight , one of Manchesters special friends &c. Made a very earnest motion that Lieu. Gen. Crumwell might with his horse be sent immediatly to relieve Taunton , as you may read in the 35. page of Englands BIRTHRIGHT ; by meanes of which the Charge hath lyen dormant ever since , although it may be spoken upon very good grounds , that it is a charge of as high a nature as ever was given into that House , and therefore it is hoped that either Lieu. Generall , or some of the honest new Members , will discharge a good conscience , by pressing the reviving of it , that so Treachery may receive , its due desert , and the Kingdome have Iustice upon its Enemies .

FINIS .
