A93839	To the supreme authority the Parliament of the Common-wealth of England, his excellency the Lord General Cromwell, and his Councell of Officers the humble remonstrance of Sir John Stawell, setting forth the reason of his first engaging on the late Kings part, and his deportment therein. His desisting from further action upon the Articles of Exeter. The benefit which he claimes by vertue of the said articles. The meanes by which that benefit hath been retarded. His several tryals, both by indictment at Common Law and in the High Court of Justice, for high treason, murder, and other felonies in relation to actions committed in the late unhappy warre; and his almost seven yeares imprisonment. The sequestration of his estate, and sale of the greatest part thereof. The proceedings and judgement of the Honourable Court of Articles thereupon: and his present state and condition.	Stawell, John, Sir, 1599-1662.	1653 (1653)	Wing S5351; Thomason E1072_2; ESTC R208213	69,107	80

of_o exeter_n which_o i_o think_v will_v not_o have_v concern_v i_o be_v a_o private_a person_n to_o look_v into_o or_o judge_v of_o and_o i_o the_o rather_o do_v the_o less_o heed_n they_o have_v then_o as_o i_o still_o have_v a_o assure_a confidence_n in_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o parliament_n that_o if_o at_o any_o time_n they_o be_v right_o convince_v that_o the_o say_a sir_n john_n

the_o doubtfulness_n whether_o sir_n john_n stawell_n shall_v have_v benefit_n by_o the_o say_a article_n or_o no_o do_v make_v for_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o the_o purchasor_n in_o several_a
