came to Westminster with the number of five or six thousand having Weapons and Battoons in their hands at the entring of every Coach some cried Justice others Execution a third man told his Fellows that both were to be conjoyned and that Justice and Execution was the noble Word upon which quasi dato-signo all the Rabble cried aloud with one voice Justice and Execution with a wonderful strange noise Some went to the Coach side and told the Lords that they must and would have Justice done upon the Deputy In particular above 1000 of them beset the Lord Steward's Coach and demanded Justice and Execution of him Justice said they we have gotten already and we only desire and must have it Execution The Lord Steward replied they should have Justice and Execution and desired them only to forbear and have patience a while No said they we have had too much patience we will not suffer longer and therefore my Lord before you go from us you must grant us Execution The Lord Steward told them he was going to the House to that effect and that they should have all content But whilst they were about to detain him longer some of the greatest Power amongst them said We will take his word for once and with difficulty enough made passage for him The Lords stayed within 'till twelve of the Clock nor was there any course taken in the mean time for dissolving of the multitude the greatest part of them went home the back way by Water only when the Lord Holland Lord Chamberlain and Bristol came out to their Coach all of them called Justice and Execution but when they perceived that Bristol was in the Coach they drew near the Coach side and told him For you my Lord Bristol we know you are an Apostate from the Cause of Christ and our mortal Enemy we do not therefore crave Justice from you but shall God willing crave Justice upon you and your false Son the Lord Digby Let a man cast his Eyes back now but for some few Months past and he shall see what trust may be reposed in the favour of the giddy multitude unless a man shall resolve to quit all Religion and Honesty and to mould and fashion his Conscience to the present distemper and fancy of the people neither can he do so safely when so much hazard lies in the Inconstancy of their Conceptions After this they drew up all the Names of those either in the House of Commons or the House of Lords whom they imagined to favour the Lieutenant and gave them the Title of Straffordians with this close That all those and all other Enemies to the Common-wealth should perish with him and did post up the Paper at the Gate of Westminster as if the old Democracy of Rome and the Tribunitial Power thereof in Cippo proscribere were now renewed and revived A Copy of the Paper posted up at the corner of the Wall of Sir William Brunkard's House in the Old Palace-Yard in Westminster Monday May 3. 1641.
