THE Charge and Articles OF HIGH-TREASON AGAINST The Earl of Derby with the Tryal examination and Confession on Tuesday and Wednesday before a Court-Marshal at Chester UPon the 16th of this instant moneth by an extraordinary Messenger from Chester it is advertized That the Earl of Derby was brought before the Court-Marshal consisting of Col. Duckenfield and 15 Commission-Officers where the Judge Advocate brought in and read the Charge against him consisting of High-Treason viz. 1. That he had in a most traiterous and hostile manner been aiding abetting and assisting to Charles Stuart Son to the late Tyrant 2. That he had held correspondency and confederacy with the said Charles Stuart and his accomplices and to the utmost of his power indeavoured the subversion and extirpating of this present Government as also the violating and abolishing the Law and Discipline so happily by them established 3. That he had trayterously indeavoured to involve this NATION in another bloody and intestine War by issuing forth and sending Warrants in Laucashire and summoning in the people to a Randevouz 4. That he had most traiterously appeared in the head of a party both in Cheshire Lancashire and other places within this Nation and granted Commissions signed C. R being a signal used by the grand enemy of this Common-wealth to divers Gentlemen Papists and others for the raising of forces against the Parliament c. The Judge Advocate having read the Charge his Lordship made a short Speech in answer thereunto to wit That he had not acted in the least contrary to the Commands of his Master the King but what he had done was in order and obedience to the power and Instructions from him received After which Col. Duckenfield and the rest of the Councel proceeded to examination and stated the matters of fact consisting of High-Treason which caused his Lordship to look very pensively and moved him so far that he would fain do something which might be considered and himself in it and withall declares a good inclination to deliver up the Isle of Man to the present power only here lies a scruple That he is afraid it will be imputed as a very ignoble and dishonourable thing to surrender up his Children and Lady in it But after some time spent in this business the Councel referred the further proceedings in his Tryal until another time The matters of fact exhibited against him are of a very high nature and its probable may draw a severe sentence upon him divers other persous of quality there are which were ingaged also in this treasonable design who are likewise to be brought to the Bar of Justice Therefore I conceive it requisite to present to the free-born people of this Nation certain Rules and Proposals shewing the happiness and joy that will redound to all those at the hour of death that walke stedfastly in the wayes of Holiness and the misery and torments that will befall on the contrary to those that are opposers and kick against the Ordinances thereof An evident demenstration whereof followeth A seasonable Declaration and Remonstrane to the People THat when a Child of God dies though his death be never so unnatural and violent yet it is nothing else but a falling asleep Or the death of a Child of God though stoned to death though burnt to ashes though it be never so violent and unnatural is nothing else but a falling asleep When he had said this he fell asleep Somnus est mortis imago Sleep is the image of death There are many notable resemblauces betwixt sleep and death some of which I shall speak unto at this time First Sleep is common to all men there is no man can live without sleep So it is true of death death is common to all it is appointed for all men once to die And therefore David said He was to go the way of all flesh Statum est omnibus semel mori Omnibus est calcanda semel lethi via All men must sleep the sleep of death or else be changed which is a metaphorical death 2. As sleep ariseth from the vapours that ascend from the stomach to the head and tie the senses and hinder their operations so death came into the world by Adams eating the forbidden fruit and by the poysonful vapour of sin that brought death upon him and all his posterity By one man sin entred into the world and death by sin and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned Rom. 5.12 Had Adam never sinned Adam should never have died But in Illo die said God In that day thou eatest the forbidden fruit thou shalt die the death Sin brings omnimodam mortem all kinds of death it brings death temporal death spiritual and death eternal 3. As a man when he goeth to sleep puts off his Clothes and goeth naked into bed so it is with us when we come to die we came naked into the world and we must go naked out of the world as we brought nothing with us into the world so we must carry nothing with us out of the world and therefore death in Scripture is called nothing else but an uncloathing of our selves 2 Cor. 5.4 Death to a Child of God is nothing else but the putting off his Clothes Beloved when we come to die we shall be stript naked of three things 1 We shall be stript naked of all our worldly honour riches and greatness 2 We shall be stript naked of our Bodies And 3 Which is above all we shall be stript naked of our sins and that is the happiness of a Child of God he shall put off not only his mortal body but the body of sin 4 In the fourth place observe as no man knoweth the time when he falls asleep a man falls asleep before he is aware so no man can tell the certain time when he must die There is nothing so certain as that we must die nothing so uncertain as the time when we shall die Death comes suddenly even as sleep comes upon a man before he is aware 5 Observe as Children and Infants because they do not know the benefit of sleep are very loath to go to sleep many times the Mother is fain to whip the Child to bed even so it is with most of Gods people because they do not study the benefit of death 6 Observe as when a man is fast
