being Friday the Court called to the Bar Col. Adrian Scroope Mr. John Carew Mr. Thomas Scot Mr. Gregory Clement and Col. John Jones Col. Scroope leads the Van of these Five to the Bar and after his Indictment was read and being charged as one that sate in that bloody Court and set his hand to that Wicked Warrant for the Execution the Kings Councel produced Witnesses which confirmed the same to which Col. Scroope pleaded that he could not justifie himself from the Fact but did intreat Councel as to matter of Law that he was no Parliament Man but onely acted in the High Court of Justice by a Commission from the Parliament which was then accounted the supream Authority of the Nation and was owned by the Generality of the people and that sitting in that Court by command of that Authority he hoped it would justifie him and therefore desired Councel to provide himself But being told as Major General Harrison had been that there was no matter of Law in the thing and that the Illegal Usurpt power of those few members which Authorized that black Court had not the least colour of an Authority which answer silenced him and so being left to the Jury was likewise found Guilty Mr. John Car●w was next called for to the Bar and being Taxt in manner and form with Col. Scroope for signing to the Act for Establishing a High Court of Injustice and signing the aforesaid bloody Warrant for the Kings Execution he like Major Gen. Harrison would have justifyed the Act pleading Error to the Indictment because that said he did it not having the Fear of God before his Eyes whereas what he had done was in the Fear of the most Holy and most Righteous Lord he likewise was found Guilty by the Jury Mr. Thomas Scot is called who so much Gloried in his being a Contriver of the Kings Death that he desired it might be writ upon his Tomb that all ●he World might know it but now being brought to the Bar he pleads not Guilty he said that he had often prayed with tears that if there were any wickednesse in the Death of the King God would be pleased to convince him of it but that he never received any conviction he would have pleaded the Authority of the Parliament but being told there could not be a Parliament without King Lords and Commons his Plea had the like success of the former Col. John Jones who was Mr. Scotts bed-fellow who seeing that all the Arguments which they had contrived between them to answer the charge proved ineffectuall and that the Plea on the other side of the Kings Councell was un-answerable confest his being present at the Court and signing of the Warrant for the Kings Execution upon which he was by the Jury returned guilty Mr. Gregory Clement delivered a Petition to the Court and desired to plead guilty to the Indictment acknowledging the hainousnesse of the crime and that his former plea of Not guilty might be waved Upon which the five received the aforesaid sentence together On Saturday Mr. John Cocke and Mr. Hugh Peters were brought to the Bar. Mr. Cooke was taxed for signing that wicked Libel called A charge of High treason exhibited on behalfe of the people of England against Charles Stuart King He pleaded so much like a Lawyer that it was answered That he he had transgrest the Law very much that unders●ood it so much that whereas he pretended to be a servant to the people of England it did concern the Jury to take notice thereof for they were part of the people and ifthey did own what he said they justified the Prisoner but it was hoped that they stood there to tell the World that the people of England had nothing to doe in it that he was the man that said the King must die and Monarchy with him and that he frequently interrupted the King not suffering him to answer for himselfe and was aegry with the Court that as he pretended they suffered the King to trifle away time He was likewise found guilty Mr. Hugh Peters stood strangely amazed and could say nothing for himselfe against that Jury of witnesses that appeared against him as that he said England could not be setled till 150. were taken away which he said were L L L viz. the Lords the Levites and the Lawyers that he was often conspiring privately with Oliver Cromwell the Kings death that he could even reverence the High Court of Justice it lookt so like the judgement of the world which should be at the last day by the Saints With many other blasphemies too large to enumerate he was as aforesaid found guilty On Monday Col.

Aztell commanded the Souldiers to cry Justice justice Execution execution Col. Hacker signed the bloudy Warrant for that wicked Murther and Capt. Hewlet was the probably supposed Man that gave the Fatal BLOW as by the course of the evidence may appear viz. That his voice was heard upon the Scaffold and his Breeches were seen under his Frock that he confest he was to have 100 l. and preferment in Ireland to doe it that being asked whether he Cut off the King's Head or no he said what he had done he would not be ashamed of and if it were to doe again he would doe it more to the same purpose was witnessed by several witnesses and by one who being sworn said that the Common-Hangman profest he did not doe it all three-were found guilty The other Eighteen viz.
