have_v be_v a_o faithful_a man_n to_o the_o nation_n and_o that_o he_o have_v never_o falsify_v his_o trust_n to_o that_o honourable_a house_n but_o that_o he_o be_v under_o very_o great_a oppression_n and_o do_v desire_v justice_n and_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v my_o desire_n that_o impartial_a justice_n shall_v take_v place_n and_o if_o capt._n bray_n do_v deserve_v to_o be_v hang_v let_v he_o be_v hang_v the_o speaker_n answer_v i_o that_o capt._n bray_n talk_v altogether_o of_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n to_o be_v within_o his_o own_o breast_n sir_n say_v i_o his_o appeal_n to_o this_o house_n demonstrate_v the_o contrary_a but_o he_o say_v so_o to_o i_o say_v the_o speaker_n it_o be_v true_a sir_n say_v i_o if_o righteousness_n and_o justice_n be_v not_o in_o your_o own_o breast_n how_o can_v you_o determine_v any_o cause_n that_o come_v before_o you_o it_o be_v truth_n say_v the_o speaker_n then_o sir_n say_v i_o it_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v in_o this_o house_n as_o in_o the_o gross_a so_o he_o ask_v i_o what_o my_o name_n be_v i_o tell_v he_o chisman_n and_o that_o i_o have_v be_v capt._n bray_v cornet_n he_o answer_v very_o love_o and_o tell_v i_o that_o he_o will_v do_v what_o he_o can_v in_o the_o business_n and_o that_o he_o will_v propose_v it_o to_o the_o house_n so_o i_o give_v he_o hearty_a thanks_o and_o take_v my_o leave_n of_o he_o i_o come_v forth_o and_o wait_v at_o the_o door_n and_o in_o westminster_n hall_n till_o the_o house_n do_v rise_v at_o which_o time_n i_o be_v walk_v in_o the_o hall_n the_o speaker_n come_v by_o with_o his_o guard_n i_o go_v to_o he_o and_o ask_v he_o whether_o he_o have_v do_v any_o thing_n for_o capt._n bray_n he_o answer_v i_o no._n i_o present_o look_v about_o towards_o my_o left_a hand_n and_o espy_v the_o lieut_n general_n who_o say_v to_o i_o be_v your_o name_n chisman_n yes_o sir_n say_v i._o take_v he_o guard_n say_v he_o speak_v with_o a_o very_a violent_a voice_n and_o according_o the_o guard_n of_o halberdier_n come_v run_v very_o greedy_o like_o so_o many_o lion_n to_o their_o prey_n pull_v and_o punch_a of_o i_o i_o give_v they_o very_o fair_a word_n beseech_v they_o as_o gentleman_n not_o to_o punch_v i_o for_o i_o will_v go_v willing_o with_o they_o but_o the_o lieut_n general_n be_v close_o by_o cry_v out_o very_o vehement_o do_v punch_v he_o punch_v he_o on_o the_o speaker_n be_v very_o near_o so_o that_o neither_o myself_o nor_o the_o guard_n can_v go_v any_o further_a so_o that_o it_o be_v very_o clear_a to_o i_o that_o what_o cromwell_n do_v be_v mere_o in_o malice_n that_o he_o shall_v command_v his_o soldier_n to_o punch_v i_o forward_o when_o neither_o they_o nor_o i_o can_v go_v any_o further_o the_o speaker_n be_v get_v into_o his_o

of_o june_n on_o which_o day_n the_o lieut_n general_n marshal_n deliver_v i_o up_o to_o the_o marshal_n general_n and_o there_o i_o remain_v till_o monday_n the_o 11._o of_o this_o instant_a june_n 1649._o in_o all_o 17._o day_n in_o the_o common_a goal_n without_o a_o bed_n and_o nothing_o lay_v to_o my_o charge_n but_o i_o shall_v have_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o lieut_n general_n about_o two_o hour_n after_o i_o be_v commit_v send_v a_o captain_n of_o the_o army_n to_o i_o who_o take_v i_o out_o as_o if_o he_o will_v carry_v i_o to_o the_o lord_n precedent_n inquire_v of_o i_o what_o i_o be_v commit_v for_o i_o tell_v he_o i_o do_v not_o know_v only_o i_o do_v conjecture_v mean_v the_o deliver_n of_o capt._n bray_v appeal_n and_o i_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n for_o as_o much_o as_o that_o i_o do_v not_o know_v so_o much_o as_o any_o colour_n for_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o when_o he_o hear_v i_o say_v so_o he_o answer_v i_o no_o that_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n but_o it_o be_v for_o break_v of_o col._n reynolds_n regiment_n of_o horse_n i_o tell_v he_o no_o that_o can_v not_o be_v the_o cause_n so_o when_o he_o have_v be_v at_o the_o lord_n president_n and_o speak_v two_o or_o three_o word_n to_o he_o for_o he_o have_v leave_v i_o at_o the_o door_n with_o a_o foot_n soldier_n and_o the_o marshal_n man_n so_o when_o he_o come_v forth_o we_o return_v back_o to_o whitehall_n and_o then_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o i_o must_v continue_v there_o till_o monday_n two_o of_o the_o clock_n at_o which_o time_n the_o council_n of_o state_n will_v sit_v when_o monday_n come_v there_o be_v no_o order_n for_o the_o marshal_n to_o bring_v i_o before_o the_o council_n of_o state_n but_o when_o the_o marshal_n see_v the_o lieut._n gen._n leave_v the_o council_n and_o be_v go_v away_o he_o run_v after_o he_o and_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v one_o cornet_n chisman_n under_o his_o charge_n commit_v by_o his_o honour_n he_o make_v he_o answer_v that_o he_o shall_v wait_v upon_o the_o council_n of_o state_n to_o to_o see_v what_o their_o pleasure_n will_v be_v my_o keeper_n return_v i_o this_o answer_n i_o take_v my_o pen_n and_o write_v a_o note_n to_o the_o council_n and_o it_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o lord_n precedent_n he_o return_v i_o this_o answer_n that_o the_o next_o day_n i_o shall_v be_v call_v and_o according_o so_o i_o be_v four_o or_o five_o time_n before_o i_o be_v carry_v over_o by_o my_o keeper_n the_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n come_v to_o inquire_v whether_o i_o be_v come_v or_o no_o and_o when_o he_o understand_v i_o be_v at_o the_o door_n he_o come_v forth_o and_o ask_v the_o marshal_n whether_o he_o have_v any_o accusation_n against_o i_o the_o marshal_n make_v answer_v no_o he_o have_v nothing_o against_o i_o so_o the_o sergeant_n return_v in_o again_o and_o a_o while_n after_o he_o come_v forth_o and_o inquire_v of_o the_o marshal_n whether_o he_o know_v one_o capt._n chaplain_n or_o no_o for_o he_o think_v he_o shall_v be_v a_o witness_n the_o marshal_n tell_v he_o no_o so_o he_o go_v in_o again_o and_o soon_o after_o come_v forth_o and_o bid_v the_o marshal_n return_n with_o i_o till_o the_o next_o day_n than_o i_o return_v back_o to_o my_o prison_n and_o there_o continue_v still_o adhere_v to_o my_o first_o thought_n wherefore_o i_o be_v imprison_v and_o my_o marshal_n hear_v i_o tell_v my_o friend_n the_o same_o he_o say_v no_o that_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o your_o imprisonment_n but_o it_o be_v for_o break_v col._n reynolds_n regiment_n of_o horse_n by_o which_o i_o do_v understand_v that_o the_o lieut._n gen._n have_v fix_v it_o whole_o upon_o that_o which_o do_v much_o amaze_v i_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n which_o never_o be_v shall_v cause_v so_o strange_a a_o operation_n upon_o the_o lieut._n gen_n as_o in_o such_o a_o sury_n to_o apprehend_v i_o give_v his_o soldier_n order_n to_o abuse_v i_o but_o this_o aspersion_n hold_v about_o four_o or_o five_o day_n and_o
