yet by his Speeches full of Oaths and Asseverations that we were Traitors and Rebels casting off all Monarchical Government c. He extorted from them four new Subsidies indicta causa before we were heard procured that a War was undertaken and Forces should be levied against us as a rebellious Nation which was also intended to be an example and precedent to the Parliament of England for granting Subsidies and sending a joynt Army for our utter ruine According to his appointment in Parliament the Army was gathered and brought down to the Coast threatning a daily invasion of our Countrey intending to make us a conquered Province and to destroy our Religion Liberties and Laws and thereby laying upon us a necessity of vast charges to keep Forces on foot on the West Coast to wait upon his coming And as the War was denounced and Forces levied before we were heard So before the denouncing of the War our Ships and Goods on the Irish coast were taken and the owners cast in prison and some of them in Irons Frigats were sent forth to scour our Coasts by which they did take some and burn others of our Barques Having thus incited the Kingdom of Ireland and put his Forces in order there against us with all hast he cometh to England In his parting at the giving up of the Sword he openly avowed our utter ruine and desolation in these or the like words If I return to that Honourable Sword I shall leave of the Scots neither root nor branch How soon he cometh to Court as before he had done very evil Office against our Commissioners clearing our proceedings before the point So now he useth all means to stir up the King and Parliament against us and to move them to a present War according to the precedent and example of his own making in the Parliament of Ireland And finding that his hopes failed him and his designs succeeded not that way in his nimbleness he taketh another course that the Parliament of England may be broken up and despising their Wisdom and Authority not only with great gladness accepteth but useth all means that the conduct of the Army in the expedition against Scotland may be put upon him which accordingly he obtaineth as General Captain with power to invade kill slay and save at his discretion and to make any one or more Deputies in his stead to do and execute all the Power and Authorities committed to him According to the largeness of his Commission and Letters Patents of his devising so were his deportments afterwards for when the Scots according to their Declarations sent before them were coming in a peaceable way far from any intention to invade any of His Majesties Subjects and still to supplicate His Majesty for a setled Peace he gave order to his Officers to fight with them on the way that the two Nations once entred in Blood whatsoever should be the success he might escape Trial and censure and his bloody designs might be put in execution against his Majesties Subjects of both Kingdoms When the Kings Majesty was again enclined to hearken to our Petitions and to compose our differences in a peaceable way and the Peers of England convened at York had as before in their great wisdom and faithfulness given unto His Majesty Counsels of Peace yet this Firebrand still smoaketh and in that Honourable Assembly taketh upon him to breath out threatenings against us as Traitors and enemies to Monarchical Government and threatened that we be sent home home again in our blood and he will whip us out of England And as these were his Speeches in the time of the Treaty appointed by His Majesty at Rippon that if it had been possible it might have been broken up So when a cessation of Arms was happily agreed upon there yet he ceaseth not but still his practises were for War his under-Officers can tell who it was that gave them Commission to draw near in Arms beyond the Teese in the time of the Treaty at Rippon The Governor of Berwick and Carlisle can shew from whom they had their Warrants for their Acts of hostility after the cessation was concluded It may be tryed how it cometh to pass that the Ports of Ireland are yet closed our Countreymen for the Oath still kept in Prison Traffique interrupted and no other face of affairs then if no cessation had been agreed upon We therefore desire that your Lordships will represent to the Parliament that this great Incendiary upon these and the like offences not against particular persons but against Kingdoms and Nations may be put to a Tryal and from their known and renowned Justice may have his deserved punishment THis Noble Earl was in person of a tall stature something inclining to stooping in his Shoulders his Hair black and thick which he wore short his countenance of a grave well composed Symetry and good Features only in his Forehead he exprest more Severity than Affability yet a very courteous Person And as he went from the Tower to the Scaffold his Countenance was in a Mild posture between dejection in contrition for Sin and a high Courage without perceiving the least affection of disguise in him He saluted the People as he walked on foot from the Tower to the Scaffold often putting off his Hat unto them sometimes to the right and sometimes to the left hand being apparelled in a Black cloth Suit having White Gloves on his Hands And tho at this time there were gathered together on the great open place on Tower-Hill where the Scaffold stood a numerous croud of people standing as thick as they could by one another over all that great Hill insomuch as by the modest computation they could not be esteemed to be less than 100000 people yet as he went to the Scaffold they uttered no reproachful or reflecting Language upon him He had Three Wives the First the Lady Margaret Clifford Sister to the Earl of Cumberland who left no issue The Second the Lady Arabella Hollis Sister to the Earl of Clare who left him his only Son William now Earl of Strafford and Two Daughters The Third Wife was Daughter to Sir Francis Rhodes of Yorkshire by whom he had one Daughter an Infant at the time of his death On the First of December in the 17th year of the Kings Reign by His Majesties Letters Patents his Son William was restored to all his Fathers Dignities and Titles and was made Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter having doubled his Paternal Glorys and his own by marrying the worthy Daughter of two incomparable Parents Henrietta Maria the Daughter of Iames Earl of Darby and Charlotte Daughter of Claude Duke de Temoille and Charlotte of Nassaw Daughter to William Prince of Orange A brief Account of his Secretary Slingsby MR.

October 1635. viz. That the Lady Hibbot c. should on sight thereof forthwith deliver the said Deeds c. to Sir Paul Davis and to appear at Council-Table the 20th of this instant October The Manager observed That the Petition was preferred in the name of Thomas Hibbots though in truth he had never knowledge of the exhibiting of it and that the first Bargain with the Lady Hibbots was made 22.

That by not payment of a part of it the bargain with Mr. Martin the cause of his treaty with the Lady was disappointed That the Lady pretended an Estate for life in the Lands when she had only an Estate in part for 99 years if she lived so long and no Estate in other parts thereof which the Plaintiff knowing not of could not suffer a Praecipe quod reddat without her joyning whereas being but Lessee for 99 years he might That it appears by the Deeds that the Plaintiff intended not to sell the Lands for that he knew them not as appeared by Circumstances which the Order doth more particularly set down That the criminal part should be reserved to be made use of by the King's Council that for the civil part the said Bargain was Ordered to be void That the Fine not yet recorded but remaining unreturned shall be cancelled if the Plaintiff shall require it And the Lady to have only such Estate as she had before and no other And both Parties are hereunto to yield Obedience 24.

November 1635. the Term there beginning as in England but adjourned to the 2. of November and the said Order was contrary to the Vote of the Council-Board That when that Bargain was overthrown the Lands were purchased by Sir Robert Meredith and others for 3000 l. to the use of the Earl of Strafford and he sold them back to the Lady Hibbots for 7000 l. That when this Petition was preferred Thomas Hibbots desired to be gone and have his money applies himself to Sir William Parsons for advice Whether he might not withdraw his Petition he sends him to Sir George Ratcliffe Sir George opposes it the Petitioner goes to my Lord of Strafford and he tells him Do not withdraw your Suit 500 l. more in your purse will do you no hurt Iohn Hoy was first produced as a Witness and sworn My Lord of Strafford offered to their Lordships Consideration that the Witness is to have the Inheritance of the Lands and so swears directly for himself But the Manager Answered That if he shall have the Inheritance his Lordship knows the terms he hath paid 7000 l. for it And Mr. Maynard added that if the Decree were of force against him it were something but the Land is since paid for and whether the Decree be good or bad he can neither lose nor win by it for he comes in as a Purchasor Yet my Lord of Strafford prest it that the Witness complained and seeks Relief against the Decree But the Manager Answered It was for his Mother not for himself though upon my Lord Stewards
