Testimony of him than Monsieur Cone who was Confessor to the late Pope and who was very Conversant with him when some years since he was at Rome but it is to be believed that the Confessor himself

committing a greater viz. by being one of the Judges on the life of our late Soveraign Iohn Cook who was he that did Read his Majesties Charge in the pretended High Court of Justice and for which and many other Treasonable attempts of the same nature he hath since suffered as a Traitor Daniel Axtell Colonel who being proved to have a very high hand in the Kings Death by incouraging his Souldiers and otherwise hath since suffered as a Traytor Francis Hacker one of those to whom the bloody Warrant for his Majesties Execution was directed hath since suffered the pains of death according to the

lost all he desired that Richard Cromwell might be chosen Protector than Our Dread Soveraign should be restored to the Crown Is for that and many other Treasonable Practises exempted also from Pardon either to Life or Fortunes I shall conclude all with the memorable Example of Gods Divine Justice upon Lockyer and Active Agitator and Leveller in the Army who had a principal hand in seising and bringing the King to his death Cried out Justice Justice Justice openly against him and spit in the Kings face in Westminster-Hall as he was going to his Tryall before his Condemnation Conducted him

all those now living who had any hand in these Tragedies and Engagements against King and Parliament to bring them to speedy and sincere publick Repentance for them Lest they fall into the like Terrours or Judgments as others that have so wilfully Engaged in that execrable Murther FINIS
