many other Treasonable attempts of the same nature he hath since suffered as a Traitor Daniel Axtell Colonel who being proved to have a very high hand in the Kings Death by incouraging his Souldiers and otherwise hath since suffered as a Traytor Francis Hacker one of those to whom the bloody Warrant for his Majesties Execution was directed hath since suffered the pains of death according to the merits of that Treasonable Trespasse which he committed William Hewlet having in a most desperate vain-glory boasted that he was the Person who severed the Head of our late Dread Soveraign King Charls

Treasurer to the Navy who intended to match his Son to Lamberts Daughter is likewise Exempted from Pardon either to Life or Fortunes Iohn Lambert Who was so inveterate against the King that having lost all he desired that Richard Cromwell might be chosen Protector than Our Dread Soveraign should be restored to the Crown Is for that and many other Treasonable Practises exempted also from Pardon

bringing the King to his death Cried out Justice Justice Justice openly against him and spit in the Kings face in Westminster-Hall as he was going to his Tryall before his Condemnation Conducted him to the Block and was shortly after condemned in a Counsel of War by some of the Kings own Judges and shot to death as a Mutinier in Pauls Church-yard London Also John Lilburn's double-Tryall for his life soon after a grand stickler against the House of Lords The proceedings against Saxbey Syndercombe and other Levellers who were chief Instruments in that Horrid Murther of our late dread Soveraign and the Grand Opposers of the House of Lords The sudden and fearfull Deaths of Collonel Ven Rigby and others who were Engagers against his Majesty with the late pangs of Conscience which Collonel William Purefoy susteyned before his death for having a hand in the Kings blood which LAY HEAVY ON HIS HEART as he told some friends The sudden death of that Tyrant Oliver Cromwell and his two Sonnes dismounting soon after and Gods signal Providence to his Majesty in his Peaceable Restauration Maugre all the Plots and Contrivances of his Enemies May it not awaken the stupid seared Consciences of all those now living who had any hand in these Tragedies and Engagements against King and Parliament to bring them to speedy and sincere publick Repentance for them Lest they fall into the like Terrours or Judgments as others that have so wilfully Engaged in that execrable Murther FINIS
