absolved from the secrecy enjoyned by this Oath by any other Oath which should be afterwards taken by them They having taken the Oath Mr Peircy declared That they were were resolved not to admit of any body else into their Councells And Mr Jermyn and this Examinate moved that Sir John Suckling might be received amongst them which being opposed by the rest after some debate it was laid aside And some speech there was of Sir Iohn Suckling his being employed in the Army but how it was agreed upon this Examinate doth not remember After this Mr Piercy made his Propositions which he read out of a paper which were to this effect That the Army should presently be put into a posture to serve the King and then should send up a Declaration to the Parliament of these particulars viz. That nothing should be done in Parliament contrary to any former Act of Parliament which was explayned That Bishops should be maintained in their Votes and Functions And the Kings Revenue be established From these Propositions none of Mr Percyes Company did declare themselves to dissent Then came into consideration if the Army should not immediately be brought to London which as this Examinate remembers was first propounded by Mr Jermyn and also the making sure of the Tower These things this Examinate did urge to shew the vanity and danger of the other Propositions without undertaking this In the conclusion this Examinate did protest against his having any thing to do in either designe for the proof of which he appeals to the consciences of them that were present and so parted with them About this businesse this Examinate saith That they had two meetings and cannot distinguish what passed at the one and what at the other but the result of all was as he formerly declared further then which he cannot depose To the fourth Int. He can say no more then he hath already said To the fifth Int. He saith That the very day that Sir Iohn Suckling first moved this unto him he gave some touch of it to my Lord Dungarvan and the day after his second meeting at Mr Peircyes Chamber he discovered it to my Lord of Newport and defined him to bring him to some other Lords such as might be likeliest to prevent all mischief And accordingly the next day my Lord of Newport brought him to my Lord of Bedford my Lord Say and my Lord Mandevill to whom he imparted the main of the businesse but not the particulars in regard of his Oath and desired them to make use of it as they should see cause for the safety of the Common-wealth but not to produce him nor name any person except there were a necessity for it He further saith That he did at the same time make a Protestation unto those Lords of his fidelity unto the Common-wealth and of his readinesse to run all hazards for it George Goring Master PERCIES LETTER written to the Earle of NORTHUMBERLAND Iune 14th 1641. WHat with my own innocency and the violence I heare is against me I finde my selfe much distracted I will not ask your councell because it may bring prejudice upon you but I will with all faithfulnesse and truth tell you what my part hath been that at least I may be cleered by you whatsoever becomes of me When there was 50000 pound designed by the Parliament for the English Army there was as I take it a sudden demand made by the Scots at the same time of 25000 pound of which there was but 15000 pound ready this they pressed with so much necessity as the Parliament after an Order made did think it fit for them to deduct 10000 pound out of the fifty formerly granted upon which the souldiers in our house were more scandalized amongst which I was one and sitting by Wilmott and Ashburnham Wilmott stood up and told them if such papers as that of the Scots would procure monies he doubted not but the Officers of the English Army might easily do the like but the first order was reversed notwithstanding and the 10000 pound give to the Scots this was the cause of many discourses of dislike amongst us and came to this purpose that they were disobliged by the Parliament and not by the King this being said often one to another we did resolve that is Wilmott Ashburnham Pollard Oneale and my selfe to make some expression of serving the King in all things he would command us that were honourable for him and us being likewise agreeable to the fundamentall lawes of the kingdome that so farre we should live and dye with him This was agreed upon by us not having any communication with others that I am coupled now withall and further by their joynt consent I was to tell his Majesty thus much from them but withall I was to order the matter so as that the King might apprehend this as a great service done unto him at this time when his affaires were in so ill a condition and they were most confident that they could ingage the whole Army thus farre but farther they would undertake nothing because they would neither infringe the liberties of the Subject or destroy the Lawes to which I and every one consented and having their sence I drew the Heads up in a paper to which they all approved when I read it and then we did by an oath promise to one another to be constant and secret in all this and did all of us take that oath together Well Sirs I must now be informed what your particular desires are that so I may be the better able to serve you which they were pleased to do and I did very faithfully serve them therein as farre as I could this is the truth and all the truth upon my soule In particular discourses after that we did fall upon the petitioning the King and Parliament for money there being so great arreares due to us and so much delayes made in the procuring of them but that was never done The preserving of Bishops functions and votes The not disbanding of the Irish Army untill the Scots were disbanded too The endeavouring to settle his revenew to that proportion it was formerly and it was resolved by us all if the King should require our assistance in these things that as farre as we could we might contribute thereunto without breaking the Lawes of the kingdome and in case the King should deny these things being put to them we would not fire from him All these persons did act and concurre in this as well as I. This being all imparted to the King by me from them I perceived he had been treated with by others concerning something of our Army which did not agree with what we proposed but enclined a way more high and sharpe not having limits either of Honour or Law I told the King he might be pleased to consider with himselfe which way it was fit for him to hearken unto For us we were resolved not to depart from our
