came to Westminster with the number of five or six thousand having Weapons and Battoons in their hands at the entring of every Coach some cried Justice others Execution a third man told his Fellows that both were to be conjoyned and that Justice and Execution was the noble Word upon which quasi dato-signo all the Rabble cried aloud with one voice Justice and Execution with a wonderful strange noise Some went to the Coach side and told the Lords that they must and would have Justice done upon the Deputy In particular above 1000 of them beset the Lord Steward's Coach and demanded Justice and Execution of him Justice said they we have gotten already and we only desire and must have it Execution The Lord Steward replied they should have Justice and Execution and desired them only to forbear and have patience a while No said they we have had too much patience we will not suffer longer and therefore my Lord before you go from us you must grant us Execution The Lord Steward told them he was going to the House to that effect and that they should have all content But whilst they were about to detain him longer some of the greatest Power amongst them said We will take his word for once and with difficulty enough made passage for him The Lords stayed within 'till twelve of the Clock nor was there any course taken in the mean time for dissolving of the multitude the greatest part of them went home the back way by Water only when the Lord Holland Lord Chamberlain and Bristol came out to their Coach all of them called Justice and Execution but when they perceived that Bristol was in the Coach they drew near the Coach side and told him For you my Lord Bristol we know you are an Apostate from the Cause of Christ and our mortal Enemy we do not therefore crave Justice from you but shall God willing crave Justice upon you and your false Son the Lord Digby Let a man cast his Eyes back now but for some few Months past and he shall see what trust may be reposed in the favour of the giddy multitude unless a man shall resolve to quit all Religion and Honesty and to mould and fashion his Conscience to the present distemper and fancy of the people neither can he do so safely when so much hazard lies in the Inconstancy of their Conceptions After this they drew up all the Names of those either in the House of Commons or the House of Lords whom they imagined to favour the Lieutenant and gave them the Title of Straffordians with this close That all those and all other Enemies to the Common-wealth should perish with him and did post up the Paper at the Gate of Westminster as if the old Democracy of Rome and the Tribunitial Power thereof in Cippo proscribere were now renewed and revived A Copy of the Paper posted up at the corner of the Wall of Sir William Brunkard's House in the Old Palace-Yard in Westminster Monday May 3. 1641.

Mr. Warwick This and more shall be done to the Enemies of Justice afore-written Nor stayed they here one of them in the height of his fury cryed out Hornesco Referens if we get not satisfaction of the Lieutenant we will have it of the King or as some say worse If we have not the Lieutenant's life we will have the King 's Oh impious Mouth Oh un-natural Miscreant This Man was marked by a Gentleman of the Inns of Court and four or five requested by him to bear witness of the Words Nor did he stay here but the Gentleman with fidelity and courage enough went to the fellow and kindly invited him to drink a Pint of Wine the Fellow suspecting nothing went along with him but in the mean time he sent for a Constable in whose hearing he asked how he durst speak such Words as those he like a mad-man replied That he would maintain them Whereupon he was apprehended by the Constable and committed to the Gate-house where he was three or four times examined yesternight some report that he freely confessed his Words and withall threatned to shew great Authority for them even within the Gates of the Court This day I hear little of him but some say the business will be slubber'd over with this That he said only If we get not satisfaction of the Lieutenant we will go to the King And it is likely this will be the Issue of the business lest this zeale should be quenched in the breeding and beginning whose surcharge and excess is laudable yea necessary in a time of Reformation Add to this that if this man should suffer it might settle and calm the forwardness of the people before the whole business be ended about the Earl of Strafford They have further threatned that after Wednesday they will shut up their shops and never rest from petitioning till not only the Liuetenants matter but also all things else that concern a Reformation be fully perfected The house of Commons sat all that day Monday till 8 at ●ight nor were they Idle all that time but brought forth that Protestation or band of Association as they term it which is now in print it was then drawn up and without further process or delay before they came out subscribed by the whole House except the Lord Digby and an Uncle or Friend of his It is thought by some whose heads are not green that it is very like a Covenant in Scotland but that must be left to further time and wiser heads if that Comment that perhaps will follow be not worse then the ●ext it may in probability happen out to be canonical enough but the too general Phrase in it lyes very open to have sences pro re nat● thrust upon them which may be very justly suspected to have been intended where

times or help our patience and Resolutions give us either redress in thee or confidence in thee The wiser sort conceived these two Bills too big for them to desire at once and that both of them together might procure a flat denial but the more couragious knew the readier way by far having often had experience of his Majesties readiness to grant just desires resolving that he that expects to lose the day is beaten at his own diffidence and it is the quality of some men to swallow Camels upon a sudden who if you give them leisure will perchance strain at a Gnat. Their Resolutions may aim at this but despair to remedy that Nature gives the reason Omne agens se exercet intra spharam Activitatis Dangers if they come but stragling upon us we may collect our spirits well enough and easily resist them but if they come by whole troops Amazment and Fear admits of no consultation for the future but only intends to decline the present and pressing hazard whereon the ancient Ga●ls made their first on-sets with valour beyond the courage of men and with feareful cryings and shouts belying their own Animosity to stupify and quell that of the enemy Sunday All the day the King was resolute never to give way to the Bill against the Lord Strafford telling them withal that it seemed strange to him that the man could not dy unless he and he only by giving Sentence the Kings Legislative way should condemn him The Lord Pembrook brought the King a piece of Scripture 2 Sam. 19. from the 5 to the 9 verse the words indeed became a Joab rather than himself till he had scattered the force of the Kings not eldest Son yet eldest Daughter the Kingdom of Scotland here is some Analogy with Absalom and in nothing else for David was sorry for shedding the nocent they not sorry for shedding the Innocent blood though the Issue be not the same Four Bishops were sent for by the King the Primate of Ireland the Bishop of Durham Lincoln and Carlile Some say and I do rather believe it that the King was desirous the Bill should be voiced again and argued the Bishops had their suffrages in the admission though not in the approbation of the Bill others think in regard the Primate was there who had no Interest in this Kingdom it was to resolve the Kings Conscience for my part I see not how they should do this seeing the business was grounded upon a case in Law which none of them unless the Bishop of Lincoln had learned when he was Lord Keeper could possibly discuss for if the King was tender in it how could they persuade him to give way if not what needed their Resolution But it may be that they persuaded him that in conscience he might prefer the Opinion of the Judges before his own and that if though with some reluctation they thought upon their Oaths the Proceedings to be lawful he might give way to them This is not unlikely because the Judges were sent for the same time and it seems for the same Service and if it be so I admire and adore too the wonderful providence of God who in his preparatory Act to this unlawful Judgment which undoubtedly will follow suffers not only the King and the Country but the Church too as if her Cup were not yet full to be involved But could this be to the matter of Fact the King I am sure knew him to be free from any the least intention of subverting the fundamental Laws of the Kingdom and could the Bishops satisfie this scruple too it may be they are persuaded that the Proofs might be taken Implicitly from the House of Commons as the Law from the Judges It is reported indeed that they besought the King with many Tears to give way and that to prevent the ruin of the Kingdom which these Statesmen who will be ever content with the longest life for themselves 'till by piece-meal they be thrust from all did see would necessarily follow Well I dare Prophesie to them they shall not want their Reward neither from the King nor People for the next tumult of people shall be against their Liturgies Surplices and Church-Ornaments And seeing they have now over-persuaded the King in this if they can procure him then to protect themselves from those imminent dangers which hang over their heads they shall do a miracle Sed quos perdere vult Jupiter dementat Some body else will persuade the King that to satisfie the common People and to prevent the Ruin of the Kingdom Bishopricks Deans Prebends and all Cathedrals must down Sed omen avertat Deus optimus Sunday all day nothing sounded in the King's Ears but fears terrors and threatnings of worse and worse the noise of Drums and Trumpets were imagined to be heard of rebelling People from every corner of the Kingdom yea Apprentices Coblers and Fruiterers presented themselves as already running into the King's Bed-Chamber After they they had wrestled him breathless and as they do with great Fishes given him scope of Line wherein to spend his strength at last victus dedit manus being overcome with such uncessant Importunities he yielded up the Buckler And about Nine of the Clock at Night oh deplorable necessity of the times or rather oh the frailty of human Nature that can neither foresee nor sustain this necessity the King promised to Sign both the Bills the next Morning which was accordingly done and a Commission drawn up for his I do not care in what Relation you take the word Execution Ingentes Curae stupent loquuntur leves Though I had resolved with the Painter who could not express his Grief sufficiently in weeping for his Daughter here to have drawn the Curtain yet it will not be something must overflow Consider the Gentleman as a Man his Judgment Memory Eloquence real Perfections in this age of appearances consider him as a Subject his Loyalty his Courage his Integrity to King and Country in these disloyal and faint-hearted times consider him as a Christian his love to the Church his respect to Church-men in this prophane and over-weaning Generation let Worth Honesty and Religion weep his Funerals who suffers for all and yet by all yea as an Enemy to all these talk not hereafter to me of Justice Equity or Conscience they are but Names and those scornful and empty Names too It is Power Faction and Interest that are the managers of human Affairs and sways the times I defie all History to furnish us with the like Parallel of a man accused by his Country by reason of his noble and eager desires to maintain them in plenty and reputation convicted by the Church for his actual performance and serious intention to restore both the Dignities and Revenues thereof his Prince even forced to condemn him after his integrity to persuade due obedience and to protect Royal Authority Happy yea thrice happy he whose Innocence was wedded to
