A89431	Musgrave muzl'd: or the mouth of iniquitie stoped. Being a true and cleer vindication of Sir Arthur Hazelrige from a false and scandalous accusation of John Musgrave, in his late pamphlet intituled, A true and exact relation of the great and heavie pressurs and grievances the well-affected of the Northern bordering counties lye under by Sir A.H. misgovernment.

of Cumberland for the not displasing and putting in certain Commissioners of the Militia for Cumberland who were objected against by Mr Musgrave the Councel declares That it doth not at all appear unto them that Sir Arthur Haslerig hath broken the Trust reposed in him by the Councel or made any failer of promise or engagement to them in any of those particulars but do find that the imputations therein laid as a Charge upon Sir Arthur Haslerig are false and scandalous and do therefore touching the said scandals leave Sir Arthur Haslerig for his due vindication and reparation to take such course as he shall think fit Gualter Frost Secretary The first Article was this 1. That Sir Arthur Haslerig contrary to his Engagement to the Councel of State and Councels of States Declarations upon the Petitioners Exceptions procured lately such in the County of Cumberland to be Iustices of the Peace Commissioners for Sequestrations Commissioners for the Ministry and Commissioners for the Militia there as were known Delinquents and such as are disaffected to the present Government and complying with the Scotish Interest as by the Charge against them hereunto annexed and another Charge against them formerly exhibited to the Councel of State may appear The Charge in this Article you see is declared false and scandalous by the Councel of State which is sufficient to stop the mouth of that calumny therein vented against Sir Arthur Haslerig Artic. 2. That the said Sir Ar. Haslerig being the chief and leading Commissioners for the Ministry at Newcastle approved of such Ministers in Cumberland at Newcastle as refused the Engagement were scandalous and Delinquents and such Ministers as were well-affected without any Charge removed from their Ministry and put them out of their places whereby he discovers his dis-affection to the present Government by upholding and countenancing the Malignant party in Authority and keeping under the Parliaments friends all which this Petitioner is able to prove and further refers himself to the Copies of Letters hereunto annexed the Originals being in the Petitioners hands First Sir A. H. never acted concerning placing or displacing Ministers but in publique and that with the Commissioners of of the four Northern Counties and that upon their appointed days of publique Meeting and also with the assistance of Doctor Jennison Mr Wells Mr Hammond Mr Wolfred Mr Durant with several other godly and well-affected Ministers Secondly Sir A. verily believes that there was never any Minister approved that publiquely refused to take the Engagement and he is very confident that there was not any Minister against whom proof was made of his Delinquency or scandal but was put out Thirdly He doth not know of any one well-affected person that was put out of his living except scandalous ignorant or insufficient as for the Copies of the Letters Sir A. H. conceives they neither concern him nor prove any thing against him Artic. 3. That Sir Arthur Haslerig undertook to the Councel of State to examine the Articles exhibited by the Petitioner to the Councel of State against Mr Charls Howard High Sheriff of Cumberland but neglected the same and came privately into the Country to Naward and there feasted with the said Sheriff who is a dangerous and most notorious Delinquent as appears by the Charge exhibited against him by the Petitioner to the Councel of State The Councel hath declared this also to be false and scandalous and concerning Sir A. H. going to feast with Mr Howard about the latter end of Summer he being commanded to take care of all the Forces that were for the preservation of the Borders and to enter into Scotland upon Carlile side Sir A. H. being in those parts upon that occasion and the City of Carlile infected with the sikness Mr Howards house being next unto the Borders was necessitated to be two nights there and this was his private going into the Country to feast with Mr Howard and if so be to have Articles exhibited against a man by such an Article-maker or Forgerer be sufficient to evidence a man a dangerous and notorious Delinquent the Parliaments best Friends must beware of Musgraves Artic. 4. That the said Sir Arthur Haslerig suffers Captain Howards Troop to lie upon free quarter upon the Country for these four Moneths last past and doth conntenance one Dobson Captain Howards Leiutenant who cheated the Troop of 1350 pound and when complaint was made to Sir Arthur Haslerig he never punished him for the same Captain Howards Troop belongs to the Garison of Carlile and Sir A. H. is confident that the Governor thereof hath not suffered them to live upon free quarter and you may guesse by this at Musgraves tales for whereas he chargeth Sir A. H. for countenancing Dobson in cheating the Troop of 1350. li. and saith when complaint was made to Sir Arthur he never punished him for it the truth is this about September last Complaint being made by Captain Howard against the said Dobson his then Leiutenant for detaining money from some of his Troopers Sir Arthur understanding discontents arising in the Troop forth with gave the said Captain a Warrant all written with his own hand to seize upon his Lieutenants person and all his horses and then also put another able and honest Lieutenant to be in his place and upon further examination finding that there was 39. l. 2. s. and no more due to the Souldiers the Troop being engaged upon the Border service and the Captain and Lieut. Dobson at Newcastle with Sir A. H. the said Dobson was discarged his place and was made to enter into a Bond of 500. l. with one Robert Huntly Merchant in Newcastle an able and sufficient man bound with him the Bond bearing date the 15 of October last that the said Dobson shall answer the same at a Councel of War upon twenty days notice the Troop being upon service as aforesaid and not then at leisure immediately to prosecute and you may the better unders●●●d the truth of this by the Cirtificate following written by the now Lieutenant of the said Troop These may certifie whom it may concern That ever 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 came to be Lieutenant to Capt. Cecil Howards Troop which began the 7 of October last the Troop hath constantly paid their quarters as soon as we received our pay from the honorable Col. Thomas Fitch Governor of Carlile which he was very careful to pay to my Capt. Cecil Howard as soon as it came to his hands by order of the Committee from the Army or otherwise and lest the Country should through want of timely notice go without their money it hath been my care to cause notice to be given to them as soon as the money was to be paid out and I often told the Country that if any man did neglect to pay his quarters my Capt. Howard or my self would see them paid if they did make it known to us And to my knowledg the said Troop hath been upon constant duty

Fitch Governor of Carlisle who required an account of a Captain and some Souldiers that were assistant unto him in the execution thereof To his much honored Friend Colonel Fitch Governor of Carlisle these deliver SIR This evening I received a Letter from Captain Place wherein he intimates that he is commanded to bring two of his Soldiers before you to Carlisle upon my Father in Law Mr Vaux his complaint that they took him forth of his bed and carryed him a mile in his shirt and that they took and detained a Horse of his worth 10 l. the Captain was desirous that I should come along with them to give account of the thing so far as I knew and the same related to my Mother and me which very willingly I would have done if I had not been constrained the Audite to morrow by appointment from Mr Pollard the States Receiver I being the States Steward for the Honor of Penrith might neglect that Service but to morrow night I shall be God willing with my Brother Graham at Newbygin and the next day at Newlathes to hold the Leet for my ancient Friend Captain Sikes Purchaser of the Manor of John De Chappels whither if you send upon notice I will wait on you so be I may according to Law be free from Arrests which in that Corporation may causless be layd upon me for vexation as often heretofore hath been done I speak not this that I know or fear any just cause for I never concealed my self and shall be ready to appear gratis at Westminster to any action in the mean time take a short account of what I know there concerning I doubt not but you have heard of the difference betwixt me and Mr Vaux and him and my Mother and how while the late Kings party was Master of this County wickedly he used her and endevored to have starved her for the Committee of this County ordered her 30 l. per annum till she could obtain relief in a legal way which Order he never observed not to speak of his wilful contemning the present Authority refusing to answer any Proces or obey any Order therein for which at my Suit some fourteen days since he was proclaimed by the Sheriff and upon an Order under seal out of the High Court of Chancery for 20 l. 250 l.
