when his Head was cut off and held up a loft upon the point of a Spear The very Souldiers themselves whom heretofore he did animate to slaughter and a thorough Execution of their Enemies were now ashamed of him and upon the point of their Spears shewed that guilty head which made them guilty of so much blood On this day Sir Hardresse Waller Hen.

Col. Hacker heretofore of Horse and Col. Axtell of Foot were drawn upon the Fatall Hurdle from Newgate to Tyburn Col. Hacker did speak but little that which he said was to excuse himself and to lay open the errour of his Judgement he had a paper in his hand intended as it seems to speak for him weakly declaring that he was an Officer in the Army in which too peremtorily he endeavoured to discharge his Trust Col. Axtell said that he was drawn to this War very unwillingly First in the time of the Earl of Essex and afterward under the command of the L. Fairfax under both which Authority he was a Commissionated Officer yet notwithstanding he did nothing of himself but was advised to what he did by a Minister who told him it was the cause of God and upon which account he endeavoured to doe his work Col. Hacker was only Hanged but Col. Axtell being cut down was Quartered Thus we plainly may perceive how the Kings of Christendome are daily crucifyed as Christ their Lord was between two Thieves the Jesuits and the Sectaries who haue designed all those Princes to destruction whom in their own Trayterous and Irreligious Hearts they have condemned for Tyranny I hope neither Peers nor people for the time to come will be so fond to believe them or so wicked to follow them God in his great mercy grant us all of his spirit of Truth to direct us in all Loyalty that being not seduced by these seditious Sectaries we may stand fast in Obedience embrace Love and follow Peace Amen London Printed for William Gilbertson 1660.
