Anthony Nichols although about foure yeares since he was by the Committee of Priviledges voted that he was not a Member fit to sit in the House by reason his election was void yet he the said M. Nichols doth not only sit and Vote there as a Member but by his power and threats in the West-Countries and by his solicitations and indirected practises hath brought in or procured to bee brought in about twenty eight Members more out of Cornwall on purpose to carry on the designes and practises before mentioned and to make a faction in the said House and notwithstanding the selfe-denying Ordinance he the said M.

Gen. the late E. of Essex but when ever his said troop came upon any service he the said M. Long out of feare or treachery unworthily absented himself and never was seen or known to charge the enemy in person though his troop often engaged namely at the battell at Edgehill when he saw there was like to be blowes he the said M. Long left the field and never charged before his Troop and at the battell or fight at Brainford though his Troop was there yet he staid at London till the danger was past and fighting done and when his Troop was sent into the West he took no other notice of it but to receive his pay and in the mean while he repaired into the County of Essex and procured a commission to be a Collonell of Horse and in stead of fighting against the Parliaments enemies he betook himself to plunder and oppresse the Parliaments friends there contrary to order and without any authority or exigencies of War compelling him thereto inforced great summes of money many Horses and other provisions from the Country namely from M. Tho. Manwood a man well affected who had the Generalls protection whose horses were taken from his plough and others to the great losses and oppression of the people and to the great dishonor of the Parliament whose service he neverthelesse neglected and hath not hitherto given an account of the great summes of money and other things he so exacted from the Country as aforesaid XXIV That the said M. Long afterwards upon pretence of some losses susteined by the enemy and some great service he had done for the State did procure of the House a great office in the Coancery namely to be the chief Register of that Court wherein his skill was little and whereof he was and is still altother uncapable and although for a time upon the self denying Ordinance he was displaced yet upon the motion or by the power and means of the said M. Hollis he hath obtained the same office to the great prejudice of skilfull Clerks that have been bred up in the same Court and to the disservice of the Common-wealth and the dishonor of the House XXV That the said M. Long on purpose to drive on the designes in the said generall Charges expressed hath for the space of two yeares last past usually pressed and urged severall Members to give their Votes such wayes as he pleased and to that end and purpose doth constantly plac himself neare the doore of the House that when any debate is concerning any designe wherein his party is ingaged he the said M. Long hath used much tampering and violence to such of his own party as wou●d go out of the House and hath perswaded them to continue there for their Votes and he the said M. Long in case any such have gone out of the House hath been very inquisitive where they may be found that so he may go for them when the businesse in debate comes near to be put to the vote and when they come not according to his expectation doth ordinarily run out of the House himself to call them and drive them in again that he hath beene commonly called by those that are without the House and have taken notice of his actions the Parliament-driver whereby the freedome of the Members is taken from them the māner of the Parliaments proceedings much scandalized and many times evill and dangerous designes drove on in a faction by Votes to the great prejudice of the Common-wealth All which matters and things the said Army shall and will be ready in convenient time to make good by proof upon Oath as his Honorable House shall direct And for that by reasn of the straightnesse of time and other more weighty Affairs of the Army they could not so fully finish and accomplish the said Articles therefore the said Army do still reserve further liberty to adde other Articles against the said Members or any of them at any time before their Triall as occasion ssiall serve By the appointment of his Excellency Sir THOMAS FAIRFAX and his Councell of Warre Signed John Rushworth Secretary
