A74878	A brief review of the most material Parliamentary proceedings of this present Parliament, and their armies, in their civil and martial affairs. Which Parliament began the third of November, 1640. And the remarkable transactions are continued untill the Act of Oblivion, February 24. 1652. Published as a breviary, leading all along successiviely, as they fell out in their severall years: so that if any man will be informed of any remarkable passage, he may turne to the year, and so see in some measure, in what moneth thereof it was accomplished. And for information of such as are altogether ignorant of the rise and progresse of these times, which things are brought to passe, that former ages have not heard of, and after ages will admire. A work worthy to be kept in record, and communicated to posterity.	Vicars, John, 1579 or 80-1652.; Hamilton, James Hamilton, Duke of, 1606-1649. Several speeches of Duke Hamilton Earl of Cambridg, Henry Earl of Holland, and Arthur Lord Capel, upon the scaffold immediately before their execution, on Friday the 9. of March.	1652 (1652)	Wing V294A; Thomason E693_2; ESTC R206997	57,270	63

to_o the_o declaration_n will_v see_v clear_o that_o they_o begin_v these_o unhappy_a trouble_n not_o i_o so_o that_o as_o for_o the_o guilt_n of_o these_o enormous_a crime_n that_o be_v lay_v against_o i_o i_o hope_v in_o god_n that_o god_n will_v clear_v i_o of_o it_o i_o will_v not_o i_o be_o in_o charity_n god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v lay_v it_o upon_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o either_o i_o hope_v they_o be_v free_a of_o this_o guilt_n for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o ill_a instrument_n between_o they_o and_o i_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o this_o blood_n shed_v so_o that_o by_o way_n of_o speak_v as_o i_o find_v myself_o clear_a of_o this_o i_o hope_v and_o pray_v god_n that_o they_o may_v too_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o ill_a a_o christian_a as_o not_o to_o say_v that_o god_n judgement_n be_v just_a upon_o i_o many_o time_n he_o do_v pay_v justice_n by_o a_o unjust_a sentence_n that_o be_v ordinary_a i_o will_v only_o say_v this_o that_o a_o unjust_a sentence_n that_o i_o suffer_v to_o take_v effect_n be_v punish_v now_o by_o a_o unjust_a sentence_n upon_o i_o that_o be_v so_o far_o i_o have_v say_v to_o show_v you_o that_o i_o be_o a_o innocent_a man_n now_o for_o to_o show_v you_o that_o i_o be_o a_o good_a christian_n i_o hope_v there_o be_v a_o good_a man_n point_v to_o dr_n juckson_n that_o will_v bear_v i_o witness_v that_o i_o have_v forgive_v all_o the_o world_n and_o those_o in_o particular_a that_o have_v be_v the_o chief_a causer_n of_o my_o death_n who_o they_o be_v god_n know_v i_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o know_v i_o pray_v god_n forgive_v they_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o my_o charity_n must_v go_v far_o i_o wish_v that_o they_o may_v repent_v for_o indeed_o they_o have_v commit_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o that_o particular_a i_o pray_v god_n with_o st_n stephen_n that_o this_o be_v not_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n nay_o not_o only_o so_o but_o that_o they_o may_v take_v the_o right_a way_n to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n so_o sir_n i_o do_v wish_v with_o all_o my_o soul_n and_o i_o do_v hope_n there_o be_v some_o here_o will_v carry_v it_o further_o that_o they_o may_v endeavour_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n now_o sir_n i_o must_v show_v you_o how_o you_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o will_v put_v you_o in_o a_o way_n first_o you_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n for_o certain_o all_o the_o way_n you_o ever_o have_v have_v yet_o as_o i_o can_v find_v by_o any_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o conquest_n certain_o this_o be_v in_o a_o ill_a way_n for_o conquest_n sir_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v never_o just_a except_o there_o be_v a_o good_a just_a cause_n either_o for_o matter_n of_o wrong_n or_o just_a title_n and_o then_o if_o you_o go_v beyond_o it_o that_o make_v it_o unjust_a at_o the_o end_n that_o be_v just_a at_o first_o but_o if_o it_o be_v only_a matter_n of_o conquest_n than_o it_o be_v a_o great_a robbery_n as_o a_o pirate_n say_v to_o alexander_n that_o he_o be_v the_o great_a robber_n he_o be_v but_o a_o petty_a robber_n and_o so_o sir_n i_o do_v think_v the_o way_n that_o you_o be_v in_o be_v much_o out_o of_o the_o way_n now_o sir_n for_o to_o put_v you_o in_o the_o way_n believe_v it_o you_o will_v never_o do_v right_a nor_o god_n will_v never_o prosper_v you_o until_o you_o give_v god_n his_o due_a the_o king_n his_o due_a that_o be_v my_o successor_n and_o the_o people_n their_o due_n i_o be_o as_o much_o for_o they_o as_o any_o of_o you_o you_o must_v give_v god_n his_o due_a by_o regulate_v right_o his_o church_n according_a to_o his_o scripture_n which_o be_v now_o out_o of_o order_n for_o to_o set_v you_o in_o a_o way_n particular_o now_o i_o can_v but_o only_o this_o a_o national_a synod_n free_o call_v free_o debate_v among_o themselves_o must_v settle_v this_o when_o that_o every_o opinion_n be_v free_o and_o clear_o hear_v for_o the_o king_n indeed_o i_o will_v not_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n will_v clear_o instruct_v you_o for_o that_o therefore_o because_o it_o concern_v my_o own_o particular_a i_o only_o give_v you_o a_o touch_n of_o it_o for_o the_o people_n and_o true_o i_o desire_v their_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n as_o much_o as_o anybody_o whosoever_o but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o their_o liberty_n and_o their_o freedom_n consist_v in_o have_v of_o government_n those_o law_n by_o which_o their_o life_n and_o their_o good_n may_v be_v most_o their_o own_o it_o be_v not_o for_o have_v share_n in_o government_n sir_n that_o be_v nothing_o pertain_v to_o they_o a_o subject_a and_o a_o sovereign_n be_v clean_o different_a thing_n and_o therefore_o until_o they_o do_v that_o i_o mean_v that_o you_o do_v put_v the_o people_n in_o that_o liberty_n as_o i_o say_v certain_o they_o will_v never_o enjoy_v themselves_o sir_n it_o be_v for_o this_o that_o now_o i_o be_o come_v here_o if_o i_o will_v have_v give_v way_n to_o a_o arbitrary_a way_n for_o to_o have_v all_o law_n change_v according_a to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n i_o need_v not_o to_o have_v come_v here_o and_o therefore_o i_o tell_v you_o and_o i_o pray_v god_n it_o be_v not_o lay_v to_o your_o charge_n that_o i_o be_o the_o martyr_n of_o the_o people_n introth_o sir_n i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v you_o much_o long_o for_o i_o will_v only_o say_v this_o to_o you_o that_o intruth_o i_o can_v have_v desire_v some_o little_a time_n long_o because_o that_o i_o will_v have_v put_v this_o that_o i_o have_v say_v in_o a_o little_a more_o order_n and_o a_o little_o better_a digest_v than_o i_o have_v do_v and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v excuse_v i_o i_o have_v deliver_v my_o conscience_n i_o

of_o england_n as_o i_o find_v it_o leave_v i_o by_o my_o father_n and_o this_o honest_a man_n i_o think_v will_v witness_v it_o than_o turn_v to_o the_o officer_n say_v sir_n excuse_v i_o for_o
