Pits of Hampshire who married the Lady Chandois I the rather mention his Noble Family because of the Nobleness of this subsequent Action He was apprehended with Mr. Garrent and other Citizens for the same business of the Lord Mordant and committed to New-gate after his Examination taken they would have made use of him having not enough against his Life as a witness against his Associates and in order thereunto brought him down to the High Court where he refused and resolutely denied to give any Evidence concerning or against the Prisoners whereupon after many vain Threats and Menaces he was by the Court sent back to Newgate there condemned to perpetual Imprisonment and fined 1000 l. which he willingly submitted to rather then be guilty of the Bloud of his Friends though a kind of forcible necessity would have seemed to warrant such an Action He continued a Prisoner but at large after Olivers death till the Coming of the General when he forsook that Station and recommenced his Freedom with the Kingdoms Mr. William Garrent who was tried before the same Court for the same business escaped as is generally believed through the want of that Evidence they relied upon from Mr Pits with much ado he was quitted and soon after set at Liberty Henry Friar who was one of those also was condemned at the said Court and was brought afterwards to West-Smithfield where in the Rounds a Gibbet was erected upon the Ladder and ready to die the Reprieve was produced and he carried back again to the Tower whence not long after he was dismist John Sumner and Oliver Allen the like the one drawn on a Hurdle to Bishopsgate and the other to Grace-Church street the places of their appointed Execution but were both there reprieved and afterwards freed Sr. George Booth now Lord Delameres who in 1659. rose against the Rump and was proclaimed Traytor with Major Gen.

Zanchy but the happy Revolution aforesaid restored him and his Estate together I do here also leave out all Persons who condemned by Courts Martial with others that suffered or alone were afterward reprieved because it is an undertaking of so wide a circumference that is impossible without much Errour and Uncertainty particularly I passe by the Names of those who were kept so long in Durance at Exeter and were afterwards sent away to the Barbadoes for the Rising with Col. Penruddock because of the Prosixity of that Roll and I would not be partial Lastly It were an infinite Task to particularize the several Sequestrations Plunderings and Rapines committed on the Kings good Subjects the Product of which Spoyles amounted to a vast sum of Treasure and might be sister to the Publick Faith-Money as Violence and Fraud are seldom asunder But what is herein defective would indeed be redundant and therefore I refer every Particular of those sufferers to the General Day of Account when they shall receive full Recompence FINIS Courteous Reader THere is now Published the Reconciler of the Bible Inlarged wherein above three thousand seeming Contradictions throughout the Old and New Testament are fully and plainly Reconciled being a very useful Work for all such as desire to understand the Sacred Scriptures aright unto Salvation And sold by Simon Miller at the star in S.
