Richard to set his very dear Son for so he called the Bishop at liberty The K. in a kind of pleasant earnestness caused the Habergeon and Curaces of the Bishop to be presented the Pope with this question See whether this be thy Sons Coat or not Whereupon the Pope replied That he was neither his Son nor the Son of the Church and therefore should be ransomed at the Kings pleasure because he was rather to be judged a Servitor of Mars than a Soldier of Christ In this War with the French the King amongst other victories obtained one of fame Taking an hundred Knights and Servitors on Horseback and Footmen without number Thirty men of Arms also 200 great Horse whereof an 140 had Barbs and Caparisons armed with Iron The King in his own person did most nobly for with one Spear he threw to the earth Matthew de Mummerancy Alan de Rusci and Fulk de Giservall and took them So have we vanquished the King of France at Gysors howbeit we have not done it but God and our right by us said the King in his Letter to the Bishop of Durham But the fatal accident is at hand which put an end to this renowned Warrior for the Viscount of Limoges having found a great hoard of Silver and Gold sent a great part thereof to King Richard as chief Lord with which the King being not contented came with some forces to the Castle of Ch●luz belonging to the Viscount where he supposed the riches were The Garrison of which place offered to yield the same to him and all therein if only their lives and limbs might be saved but the King would accept of no conditions bidding them to defend themselves as they could for he would enter by the Sword and hang them all Whereupon an Arbalaster standing upon the Wall and seeing his time charged his Steel-bow with a Square-Arrow making first his Prayer to God that he would direct that shot and deliver the innocency of the besieged from oppression then discharging it as the King was taking a view of the Castle mortally wounded him in the left shoulder the anguish and peril whereof was extreamly increased by the unskilfulness of the Chyrurgeon The Castle by continual assaults was taken and by

EDWARD sirnamed Long-shanks at his Father Henrys death A.D. 1272 was imployed in the holy Wars wherein he so excellently behaved himself that he gained the repute of a most valiant Souldier At Acon an assasinate wounded him with a poysoned knife which wounds his Queen Eleanor daily licked with her Tongue till therewith the poyson was extracted and the wounds healed her self receiving no harm thereby When the news of his Fathers death came to his ears he grieved much more than for the death of his Son who died a little before saying to the King of Sicily who wondred thereat that the loss of Sons is but light because they are multiplied every day but the death of Parents is irremediable because they can never be had again At his arrival in England he was most joyfully welcomed and with his dearest Eleanor was Crowned at Westminster by Robert Kilwarby Arch-Bishop of Canterbury When for the more royal celebration of the Coronation-feast of so Martial a Prince there were five hundred great horses let loose every one to take them for his own who could The first matter of remark done by King Edward after his Coronation was the subduing of Wales whose Prince Lewelin the last Prince of Britains blood had refused to do him homage but being slain his head crowned with Ivie was set upon the Tower of London In his stead the King created his own son Edward born at Caernarvon Prince of Wales And now Wales being setled in quiet the King repaired into France where he sate in person with the French King in his Parliament at Paris as a Peer of that Realm in respect of such lands as he held in those parts and being returned into England he addressed himself to purge his state from the Oppressions under which it groaned Fifteen thousand of the extorting Jews he banished out of the Land confiscating their goods His corrupt Justiciars he displaced and fined and constrained all his Justices to swear that from that time they would take no Fee Pension or Gift of any man except only a breakfast or like present He also appointed that Justices Itinerants should go their several circuits at such certain times of the year And now the Crown of Scotland by the death of Alexander the third being destitute of any apparent Heir by the umpirage of King Edward it was setled on the head of John Baliol who did homage to Edward against the minds of the Scots for the whole Kingdom of Scotland But shortly after Baliol to regain the affections of his people combined with the French against the English wherefore the King advanced against the Scots with a puissant Army drove the Scots out of the North-parts of England where they had done much mischief took Berwick Town and Castle had Dunbar yielded to him and after a cruel fight obtained a victory of great importance took the Castle of Roxbrow John Peckham A.B. Cant. had Edenbrough rendred to him so brought Baliol to sue for mercy which was granted on condition that the Scots should submit to him as their Soveraign And accordingly the Nobles of Scotland at a Parliament holden at Berwick did swear to be true Subjects to Edward for ever after and hereof a solemn Instrument was there sealed by them John the late King was sent to the Tower of London and the custody of Scotland was committed to John de Warren Earl of Surrey and Sussex Out of Edenbrough Edward took the Crown Scepter and Cloth of State Burnt their Records abrogated their Laws altered the forms of their Divine service transplanted their learnedst men unto Oxford The Marble-chair in the Abby of Schone wherein the Kings of Scotland were wont to be Crowned he sent unto Westminster This is the Chair upon which was ingraven the Famous prophetical Distich Ni fallat fatum Scoti quocunque locatum Invenient lapidem regnare tenentur ibidem That the Scots should reign wheresoever that chair should be verified in King James But King Edward drawn beyond the Seas by occasion of wars in Gascoign and for aid of friends in Flanders one William Walleys Captain of the discontented Scots put Earl Warren to flight in Scotland and all the English forces that were with him taking them at an advantage as they were passing over a narrow-bridge near Striveling where the slaughter of the English was not small Hugh de Cressingham Treasurer of Scotland for King Edward was there slain whose dead body the Scots did fley dividing his skin amongst
the better to strengthen himself at home and to raise his Family into esteem he gave his eldest Son a Command in the Army his younger Son he made Lord Deputy of Ireland his two younger Daughters that were not yet disposed of in marriage he matched the elder of them with Mr. Robert Rich the Earl of Warwicks Grandson and the youngest with a person of great Honour And that he might be as King-like as possible and withal check the Commons in Parliment he constituted an Upper House of Parliament instead of the House of Lords 62 in number most of them his own creatures amongst whom were Colonel Hewson one by trade next kin to a Cobler and Colonel Pride formerly a Brewers servant who before this had been made two of his knights errants And to honour his Mushrooms he elected to set in his Upper House some few Noble men as the Earl of Warwick c. February the 20th the Parliment that had been adjourned now reassembled but because they admitted those Members to sit with them who at first refused to subscribe to Olivers Instruments and because they questioned the Protectors power in erecting his Upper House which in contempt they called the other House Oliver hereupon sent for them to his Upper House Bar where he made a large speech to them and in conclusion told them That it did concern as well the peace and tranquility of the Nation as his own interest to terminate that Parliament and therefore he did at this time put an end to their sitting February the fourth A. D. 1658. This Year began with a discovery of a most horrible Plot as Oliver called it and indeed he had an excellent Art for the discovery of Plots having his mercenary trepans and instruments of falshood who counterfeiting themselves forward Royallists thereby insinuated themselves into the Counsel of the Kings friends and then betrayed them And the King himself was troubled with one of these false Creatures about his own person for Captain Manning one of his Secretaries Clerks was taken in the very act of receiving Letters from Thurloe Olivers Secretary for the which he was instantly Shot to death But the Loyal Confederates in the late discovered Plot were divers of them apprehended as Dr. Hewit Colonel Edward Ashton Mr. Mordant the Earl of Peterboroughs Brother and others who were indicted of High Treason for endeavouring to levy War against his Highness and the Government and to promote Charles Stuart to the Government of these Nations and for holding correspondency with the said Charles Stuart Mr. Mordant was acquitted but Dr. Hewit and Sir Henry Slingsby were beheaded on Tower-hill June the eighth though many endeavours were used by divers persons of quality and Ministers for the saving of their lives especially the Doctors Colonel Ashton and others were hang'd and quartered in London Near about this time there came up the Thames as far as Greenwich a Whale of a very great length and bigness June the 25th the Town of Dunkirk was surrendred by the Spaniards to the French who immediately resigned it to the English forces which had been the main instrument in gaining it this resignation was made according to former Articles agreed upon between the King of France and Lord Protector of England But whilst the English were rejoicing abroad Oliver had occasion of sorrow at home for his most dearly beloved Daughter Mrs. Elizabeth Claypole on August the eighth departed this Life whose body was interred in the Royal Chappel at Westminster T is said of this Gentlewoman that she was much troubled at the harsh usage of the Royal party and that upon her knees she beg'd of her Father to save Dr. Hewits life but his hard heart would not yield thereto though he loved this Daughter so passionately that he never injoyed himself after her death but growing pensive and melancholy in short time was seized with a Tertian ague which ended his life at VVhite-hall on September the third He was born in the Town of Huntingdon and descended from a worshipful family of the Cromwels alias VVilliams his Mother was the Daughter of Sir Richard Steward and his wife Elizabeth the Daughter of Sir James Bourchier He was of a very martial Spirit and of excellent conduct and attended with very good success in his attempts Nor was he a Souldier only but also a very good Orator and deep Politician and so great a Dissembler that he could shed Crocodillian tears at pleasure when those would at any time advantage him among the Religious an high pretender he was to Religion though as his actions manifested it was only thereby to obtain his ambitious ends so impiously resolute for the effecting his designments that he valued not the violation of the most solemn promises or sacred Oaths nor the shedding of any though the blood of the Lords anointed Yet was this Man courted or feared by most of the Princes in Europe and the Kings of France and Sweden were entred into so strict a League with him as had he lived might have troubled good part of the world In Olivers stead Richard Cromwell his eldest Son whom he had appointed his Successor was proclaimed Protector Shortly after which several Addresses protesting both love and obedience to Richards Highness were presented from the Armies of the three Nations from the London-Ministers from divers Counties Cities and chief Towns of England And the Foreign Ambassadors then in England pretended to lament with Mr. Richard for the death of his Father desired the continuance of that League and Amity which was granted and maintained by his late Highness Oliver Lord Protector November the 23 were the Funerals of Oliver Solemnized after his Herse had lain in the greatest State some weeks in Somerset-House at a vast charge and in greater Pomp than had formerly been used for the greatest English Kings his Corps had been privately interr'd many days before in the Chappel-Royal of Henry the Seventh at Westminster But the vast expences of those Funerals were never discharged but those Tradesmen who had hopes of gaining the most by it sat down the greatest losers at last As soon at the Funeral-rites of this old Fox Oliver were accomplished his Son Richard proceeded to the carrying on of matters of publick concernment The first of which was the sending a Naval-supply to the King of Sweden for the aiding him against the King of Denmark The next of any moment was the calling of a Parliament to convene January the 27th at Westminster where when they were met they chose for their Speaker Mr Challoner Chute and the Members severally took the Oath not to alter the form of Government Which done they went to purge out those Members who had born Arms for the King then after many debates it was at length resolved that the House of Commons would transact with the persons of the other House as a House of Parliament during the present Parliament but with this proviso That it was not intended
