concerning the great distraction that was in the Common-wealth by reason of delaying of justice upon those two great men the late Earle of Strafford and the Archbishop of Canterbury Delaying of justice sayes Master Barrell I speak really and upon my conscience they are absolutely two of the most pious and religious men that are in the Kingdome of England 7 That when the Railes about the Communion-Table were riotously broken down by a Tumultuous Company of the said Parish it being in question before the Justices at Brainford he said openly before the same Justices that it was his act and doing that hee himselfe did command it to be done and would justifie the doing thereof 8 That being bound to the Peace he ranne at my servant with a pitchfork when he came only to make Tith-Hay upon his ground and swore with many oathes to be his death 9 That upon occasion he said before very good witnesse there being speech made of Davids murther and adultery his murther and adultery sayes Master Barrell if hee had not committed murther it had been no matter for his adultery 10 That he often said and avouched that if ever he fall out with any man hee will never bee reconciled and if ever it lie in his power he will do him the greatest mischiefe he can 11 That hee did most malitiously and vexatiously without any just ground or cause arrest the foresaid Vicar twice in the Terme last past and threatneth to doe the same day by day to the great interruption of him in his Ministry who is Lecturer in the Collegiate Church of Westminster to preach there twice a weeke in the Terme time and was disabled by such vexatious suites to perform the same 12 That one Lawrence Rutter in the Parish of Istleworth having bin displaced by the whole parish from officiating the place of Parish-clarke for most notorious misdemeanours committed and confessed by him the said Gilbert Barrell notwithstanding endeavoured to introduce him againe by most unjust and indirect meanes as namely by using the name of the Right Honourable the Earle of Northumberland in open Court without any order at all from him who upon notice thereof disclaimed it openly and declared himselfe displeased thereat by meanes whereof the Judges being falsely possessed by him that it was his Lordships pleasure to have him restored made a rule that unlesse William Grant should referre his cause to the determination of the said Earle that writ should issue forth to restore him which accordingly did and was recalled again by the aforesaid Judges upon information of his Lordships disclaiming such abuse of his name And notwithstanding that the same Laurance Rutter was displaced by the whole parish and another man chosen by them and sworne and licensed for the place by the Civill Law neither could find any reliefe upon his motion at the Common Law but was also indited for his misdemeanour at the sessions in Hicks his Hall and there bound upon it unto his good behaviour for a twelve-month and after all this was forbidden by the Iustices of Peace at their sessions in Brainford by a warrant under their hands not to make any disturbance in the Church by officiating but to suffer Henry Bennet quietly to officiate there untill such time as hee was evicted by law being sworn and licensed thereunto notwithstanding all this I say the said Gilbert Barrell doth still encourage and command the aforesaid Rutter that was thus displaced to officiate the place of parish Clark to the high affront and contempt of Iustice and continuall disturbance of the whole congregation 13 May 2 1641. Gilbert Barrell Attorney did openly and publickly disturbe William Grant Vicar of Istleworth as hee was preaching in the pulpit to his congregation by most uncivill words and actions by laughing and jearing in his face on the sudden and immediately after that reading of a pamphlet and refusing and denying openly to lay it aside or to sit out of sight being requested thereunto by the said Vicar as hee was in preaching insomuch that not being able to proceed in his Sermon as he himselfe then professed hee broke off in his Sermon twice at the first time called for a Psalme and the second time dismissed us Upon this misdemeanour the said Gilbert Barrell was indited at the sessions in Hicks his Hall last past and it was found Billa Vera against him by the Iury. 14 Iuly 18. 1641. The said Gilbert Barrell laid violent hands on one Henry Bennet Parish-Clark of the foresaid parish to pluck him out of a pew where hee was appointed by the Vicar to sit for to officiate and againe getting within him heaved and thrust at him with like violence in the time of Divine Service who being admonished by the Curate beforehand that he disturbed the whole Congregation do I said he I will disturbe it more yet And presently thereupon fell upon the foresaid disturbance Upon this misdemeanor also he was indited at the forenamed Session it was likewise found Billa vera against him by the foresaid Jury 15 That the foresaid Gilbert Barrell for the space of eleven or twelve weeks together lately past did most notoriously disturbe the whole Congregation almost every Lords day in some scandalous way or other As namely sometimes by quarrelling and brawling with this and that man sometimes by laughing and jearing and sometimes clapping his hat on his head on the sudden and running out of the Church in a most uncivill manner both in time of Service and Sermon One bow one string and shafts though not so many Be broke or crackt or snap't by him or any Sic clavis simul pellitur infigitur FINIS
