I do declare and promise, that I will be true and faithfull to the common-wealth of England, as it is now established without a King or House of Lords. Also against some of the judges of the late King in the high court of injustice. Published, to reclaim such fanatique persons, who have been too forward to promote this wicked, destructive engagement; and still designe it, which hath wounded the consciences of so many Godly Christians in this kingdome.

One Sir Henry Holcroft why had formerly been a great Professour of Religion and to see too a practiser of the power of Godlynesse but afterwards drew back and Apostatized to the Independent Faction took the Engagement and fell into great complyance with them being a Committee Gentleman and acting strenuously for them But immediatly after this it pleased the Lord that he fell into a sore disease and much and often bleeding at his nose and mouth and so continued all the time of his said sinful complyance with them and at last fell into such fits of extreme bleedding and strongly vomiting up even of gobbets of blood at his mouth and flowing out of blood at his nose with such unstintable violence that he most sadly departed this Life in one of the extreme fits thereof 19. In August 1650. Barron Rigby a most desperate Enemy to the Presbyterians Church Discipline as being a great Independent together with Baron Yates the two Judges for the Assizes then held at Chalmsford in Essex two grand Engagers as every one may know and deep complyers with the VVestminsterian power They both being at Chalimford and hearing the Assize Sermon preach't before them the Godly Ministers Text being out of Luke the 16. 2. Give an account of thy Stewardship for thou maist be no longer Steward Immediately after this Sermon it pleased the Lord to strike Judge Rigby with present sickness so as that they could not keep the Assizes there but were forced to adjourn it promising and hoping to come again and finish it there and went thence to Croydon in Surry to hold the Assizes there but having begun to sit both Judge Rigby his sickness so increased upon him and the like sicknesse suddenly so assaulted Judge Yates also and with such violent pain and great distemper upon them both and also upon the High Sheriffe of Surry then present with them who also was smitten with the same sicknesse at that time that the Assizes was enforced to cease there also and they all three were speedily conveyed away thence to London where they all three died immediatly after even within a seven nights space or thereabout of a most violent pestilential Fever and very many more of their Clerks Officers and Attendants on the said Assizes died also at the same time as was generally and most credibly informed and reported and I my self know one Captain Hindely one of Judge Rigby's chief Clerks or Officers who died at the same time immediately upon the very same time of these Judges death A most remarkable and fearful Example of Gods wrath upon Engagers and sinful Complyers with workers of iniquity VVoe woe therefore to all Apostatizing Temporizers and perfidious Backsliders Heb. 10. 38. And as is further most evident in those Scriptures beneath following 20.
