A Third CONFERENCE BETWEEN O. Cromwell AND Hugh Peters In Saint James 's Park Wherein The horrible Plot is Discovered about the barbarous Murder of our late Soveraign Lord King CHARLS the I. of ever blessed Memory London Printed by Tho. Mabb 1660. A Third Conference wherein the horrible Plot is discovered about the barbarous Murder of our late Soveraign Lord King Charles the I. of ever blessed memory Peters having very lately received a strict command from O. Cromwell in a speciall Message sent to him by a Succubus one of the Infernal Pursuivants attends his pleasure once again in St. Jamse's park where after a little respect Cromwell appears to and treats him as followeth Cromwell OH Peters Peters What a wretched life did I lead that I cannot rest from troubleing thee my dearest Familiar now I am dead Whatsoever is the matter amongst you in England I am very certain that there never was such a sad and mournfull Court in all the time of his infernal Majesties Domination and Principality as now there is with us in Hell When I came thither first there was never more triumphing and rejoycing amongst the infernal Orders and Degrees as then there was as if all the infernal Dignities and Preheminences under my dreadfull Soveraign depended solely on my presence and without which they would have sustained an irreparable losse in their Stations Somewhat there is in the winde more than ordinary And therefore I prethee discover it to me that I may not be too much put to my trumps to pump for Intelligence Pet. Oh Sir do you want your Intelligence now It s no marvaile indeed As I told you at our last Conference If you were here again it would bereave you of all your Intelligence and make you stark mad to see how things go with us now adayes You sent me with your thanks to my Lord General in the Devils name But if you knew all that 's done now you would say that you had little cause to thank him Crom. Why prethee Peters what 's the matter Pet. The matter and manner and form too is so that I know not what to do for my part There 's no way of escaping left either for you or my self Crom. For me Why I am safe enough I 'le warrant thee And for the true love I bear thee I wish that thou wert no worse than I and then thou shouldest be free from all despair of escaping But thou mayest be very confident that thou hast no better refuge than I my self have found Pet. Oh but Sir you had the luck to die in your bed and to have a pompous Funeral with all Prince-like solemnities never to be paid for Whereas I am yet alive t is true but how long I shall so continue I am in very great doubt However the thoughts of my death do not so much perplex me as the manner thereof as t is universally concluded Crow Why what manner of death is it Pet. Not to be broyled like a Spitch-cock as Saint Laurence was nor to be uncased of my skin as the Arch-bishop of Spoleto was but to be tortured and torn in pieces with wild horses as Ravilliac was Crom. Why as Ravilliac Peters Pet. Because as they say that I had a principall hand and stroke in the murder as they call it of the late King Charls And you know that Ravilliac was a King killer and Murdered Henry the fourth of France and therefore he was put to death with as much pain and torture as the quality and notoriety of his fact did merit Crom. Thou knowest in thy Conscience Peters that there was none that had so great an hand in procuring his death as thee and I. Did not we beguile the Lord Fairfax and all the rest of the innocent Officers of his Party carried on the work by a Faction of our own without opposition Who more than we did incite the Members of the High Court of Justice and Souldiers of the Army to act in that Tragedy Wert not thou most intimately consulted with by my self my son Ireton Tom-Harrison and Henry Martin for the abridging and shortning the Charge and Impeachment against the King when as Dorislaus and Cooke had prepared a long draught of almost an hundred sheets of paper for a Charge which was not long since in the custody of John Phelpes one of the Clerks of that Court if it be not still in his hands Bradshaw thou knowest would have made a tedious piece of businesse of it by drawing into question the death of King James and the defeat at the Isle of Ree with other miscarriages in his Goverment but thy policy concurred with ours to charge him with Generals because therein is the greatest latitude of evasion and deceipt and so we resolved onely to lay the Cause of the War in England at his doore and make him the Author and Fomentor thereof and principal Actor therein by a generall Charge upon the reason of this maxim that Frustra fit per plura quod fieri potest per pauciora reserving particulars to our clandestine proof by Witnesses without any Oath giving us private Information in the Painted Chamber upon their bare words And this we did to the end the King should never know it till it was too late for him that so we might have the larger field to fight against him and prevent him from putting us to a formal Tryal in Foro Judiciali And thus we assured our selves that he would never own our Jurisdiction and then we should the sooner dispatch him for his Contumacy out of the world But art thou in fear to be put to death for that business Why take my ghostly Counsel Peters Take thee a sufflation of the powder of black Poppey and other Opiatick Powders up into thy Nose as Miles Sindercombe did to cozen me and the Hang-man and thou needest not then be afraid of the severing of thy members but thou shall come intirely to me soule and body in thy whole skin without any fracture dislocation or extension of any part Pet. Oh! but sir T is in a great many good mens mouths that Sindercombe never poysoned himself nor ever took any Soporifick medicines whereby to sleep his last as it was commonly said that he did so but that by some secret hand or other by your complotting with Barkestead your Creature that fellow was stifled in his Bed to prevent his telling of Tales next morning at Tiburn And so they say several of the Coroners Inquest were of opinion who were Inhabitants within the Liberty of the Tower of London notwithstanding that your then Lord Chief Justice directed them to finde him a Felon of himself at his house in Lincolns Inn fields And we also know that the Doctors and Chryrurgions were put to a stand and non-plus and could not tell well what to make of it upon their Dissection And Doctor Trig was alwayes of opinion to whom Barkestead first of all applied himself at the very
