be left behind to see all accounts adjusted which had requir'd very good Rhetorick to have made it Justice especially to have appear'd so to the Scotish Soldiers for to have sent them away without Money and then ask the Country-man what the Soldiers had taken when he might say what he thought â— good the Soldier not there to answer for himself and yet his Pay to be thereby determin'd would have been but hard measure But the Rhetorick had been Sir Thomas Fairfax to have gone down with his Army which should have made it just and easie and every thing for this was it they desir'd to bring it to as it was often mov'd and press'd by them 64. At last the well-wishers to Peace with much ado prevail'd in the House and it was carry'd to offer the Scots a gross Sum for all so to part fair and avoid the delay and disputes of an account to which they presently agreed Then the question was what Sum. Here again we had a strong debate For our Incendiaries hung by every twig sticking fast to their Principles to dissatisfie the Scots and break with them if possible upon any point pretending the poverty of the Kingdom and the great Sums the Scots had rais'd and therefore they would give but 100000 l. which they knew was all one with a hundred Shillings as to the satisfying of the Soldiers for marching away In the end after many debates in the House and passages to and again with the Scotch Commissioners the lowest Sum that could be agreed unto by the Commissioners was 400000 l. two in hand and the other two after some time with a protestation of theirs that the Army would not be satisfy'd with less nor inabled to march which was motive enough for these Men to deny it for if they could have wrought the dissatisfaction of the Army so as to have refus'd to go it was where they would have it Whereupon 't was oppos'd by them with all the power they had but in the end the better part that is the moderate Party who were the Peace-makers those that labour'd to keep things even and fair between the two Kingdoms carry'd it And the sum was voted and all things agreed upon tho with difficulty for they fought it out and lost it by Inches then the Scots declar'd they would march out by such a day 65. Yet had our Boutefeus one hope left which was to quarrel at last about the person of the King believing the Scots would certainly have taken his Majesty with them into Scotland This they knew had been ground sufficient and would have engag'd all England against them giving a confirmation to all the jealousies formerly rais'd and occasion'd a thousand more And had certainly more advantag'd the designs of those who thirsted after the destruction of the King first the Scots next and then all such as desir'd Peace within this Kingdom and have made them a smoother way to their damnable Ends the altering of the Government and bringing in a confusion both in Church and State than any thing that could have happen'd And the two Kingdoms had been together in blood the author of the mischief undiscover'd mask'd over with the glorious pretences of zealously vindicating the honesty and interest of England and every breach of Covenant and Treaty in this Cause which made them with so much peremptoriness and incivility and in truth injustice demand that the Scots would deliver up his Majesty who had an equal interest in his Royal Person with the Kindom of England he being equally King of both and an equal interest in the closing and binding up the unhappy differences which were between him and both his Kingdoms they having been engag'd in that Quarrel at the entreaty of England and made up together with an intire Body with England as is before shewed for the prosecution of it Therefore they had no more reason to trust us with the King than we had them and as much were they concern'd in all that related to his Majesty's Person so as they had ground enough to have disputed it and out of that hope was it press'd by the others But the wisdom of the Scotish Nation foresaw the inconveniencies which must have necessarily follow'd had they been positive at that time how they had plaid their Enemies game to their own ruin and even ruin to his Majesty Therefore they made for him the best conditions they could that is for the safety and honour of his Person and to avoid greater mischiefs were necessitated to leave him in England and so march away Which they did in February 1646. 66. Here then the very mouth of Iniquity was stopt Malice it self had nothing to say to give the least blemish to the faithfulness and reality of the Kingdom of Scotland the clearness of their Proceedings their zeal for Peace without self-seeking and self-ends to make advantage of the miseries and misfortunes of England This gave such a reputation to them and to those that appear'd for them that is so far for them as to endeavour the doing of them right and prevent the practices of those who sought all means of doing them wrong and gave such a blow to the other violent Party so broke their power and lessen'd their authority in the Parliament as it made way for obtaining those resolutions which were presently taken for disbanding Sir Thomas Fairfax's Army Till when by the fomenting jealousies against the Scots and against all moderate and well affected persons as if their designs were to betray the Cause deliver over the Honour and Interest and Strength of England into the hands of the Scots they prevail'd so far generally upon the affection of the people and especially upon many well-meaning but not so well discerning persons Members of Parliament as they were able to suppress all good motions tending towards Peace all endeavours of smoothing those rugged ways that their violence had put all things in and to swell up that Independent Army like the Spleen in the Body by the concourse of all ill humours to the ruin and consumption of the Body it self And yet other Forces cashier'd as Major General Massey's Brigade which had done all the Service in the West of which those Drones robb'd the sweet getting the honour and advantage of it to themselves That tho that Army was compos'd for the most part of factious Sectaries except some few gallant Men that were scatter'd here and there amongst them as Colonel Greves Colonel Thomas Sheffield Sir Robert Pye Colonel Herbert Colonel Butler Quarter-Master General Fincher and other Officers of Quality and Gentlemen of the Life-Guard who had formerly serv'd under my Lâ—â—d of Essex and Sir William Waller and in other parts of the Kingdom to whom they did the honour of letting them perform all the Action which that Army had to do and who every one of them afterward left it when it left its obedience to the Parliament and fidelity to the Kingdom and
punishment and expect mercy neither from God nor Man nay even in relation to the Army and those persons who have a long time sought my ruin if all I desir'd and aim'd at in disbanding that schismatical factious Soldiery in carrying on the business of the House in opposition to that Party and even in this last great Treason of levying War against King Parliament and Kingdom as they stile it which was only to do my best endeavour to defend them and my self from a rebellious Army that was marching up for all our destructions contrary to the Orders of both Houses against whom it first rebell'd instead of an obedient disbanding then cudgel'd them to own it for their Army forc'd the City into a trouble and shew of opposition to what it had made the Parliament do then took that occasion to march both against it and the Parliament If notwithstanding all this in what I did I had any thought of personal revenge or to do the least hurt to any particular person in case we had prevail'd but only to return into the way whence we were put out of a free quiet Parliamentary proceeding to accomplish the great work of settling the Peace both of Church and State let me perish and God who is the searcher of hearts knows I now speak nothing but truth 199. Well then I say if all our endeavours must like an untimely birth come to nothing our hope be cut off our persons destroy'd our integrity innocency fidelity question'd and decry'd our good names traduc'd torn in sunder our memories made to stink to all posterity by the false calumnies of our malicious Enemies and their power in suppressing truth and which is worst for all this is but particular the general the publick the Common wealth once in so fair a way of recovery at the eve of a happy day to be rid of Armies enjoy a Peace hear no more of the Instruments of War but see a blessed composure of all unhappy differences reap the fruits of Justice and Mercy and upon a sudden to find all this but as the hungry man's Dream who is the more empty when he awakes so instead of this solid happiness to embrace a Cloud have nothing but the empty promises of a false deceitful Army and be cast back into a greater gulf of misery and confusion than all the enemies in the World could have brought it into and the latter end to be far worse than the beginning 200. If this be our Portion were I a Heathen I should say with Brutus when he meant to kill himself seeing the assertors of publick Liberty overcome and ruin'd and the Invaders prevail and conquer O misera virtus eras igitur fabula seu verba ego te ut rem colebam exercebam tu autem fortunae serviebas But being a Christian I am taught another Lesson to know that nothing comes by chance God who dos all things in number weight and measure orders and disposes all as may most make for his own Honour and the good of his Church and Children to which even the wickedness of the wicked and these Disorders will conduce tho the wit of Man cannot fathom it therefore I will lay my Hand upon my Mouth and not once whisper because the Lord has done it only take up St. Paul's admiration and with it end crying out O Altitudo O the Depth of the Riches both of the Wisdom and Knowledg of God!

LONDON Printed for Tim. Goodwin at the Queen's Head against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleetstreet M. DC.XC.IX To His Grace JOHN Duke of Newcastle c. May it please your Grace WHEN the following Papers of the famous Lord Holles Your Great Uncle happen'd to fall into my Hands I could not long deliberat whether they deserv'd a public View and therefore intended to get them printed without any further Ceremony for the large share he had in the Transactions of those Times will as much engage others to read these Memoirs as the Defence he was oblig'd to make for himself are a sufficient Reason for his writing them But when I understood that Your Grace out of the Love You bear to virtuous Actions and Your Piety towards so near a Relation did order a stately Monument to be erected at Dorchester for this Illustrious Person I was of opinion that as well for that Reason as because in his Life-time he entertain'd an extraordinary Affection and Esteem for You Your Name should in like manner be inscrib'd on this Monument which he has left of Himself to Posterity The Justice of the thing and the Sincerity of my Intentions must be all my Apology to Your Grace for this Presumtion for the Public of whom You deserv'd so well and particularly in appearing early like Your Noble Ancestors for the Liberty of these Nations will acknowledg it an Obligation nor if any thing should chance to be amiss can I doubt but an easy Pardon will be granted to one who is tho unknown my Lord with so profound a Respect Your Grace's most humble Servant March 28. 1699. THE PUBLISHER TO THE READER SUch as really desire to know the naked Truth and propose for their chiefest aim the common good which are certainly the best tho not the greatest part of Mankind have ever exprest a desire in their Writings of seeing the Memoirs of all parties made public as the most effectual means of framing a true General History For in those places where nothing is licens'd to appear but what visibly tends to the advantage of one side there can be no sincere representation of Affairs the basest Cowards must pass for the bravest Heroes the worst of Villains for the greatest Saints the most Ignorant and Vicious for Men of Learning and Virtue and the Enemies of their Country for its Preservers and Friends Without consulting therefore the particular interest or reputation of any Faction but only the benefit of England in general these Memoirs of the Great Lord Holles are communicated to the World that by comparing them with those of Ludlow and such as appear'd before or will be publish'd hereafter relating to the same times they may afford mutual Light to each other and after distinguishing the personal resentments or privat biasses of every one of 'em the Truth wherein they are all found to agree tho drest by them in different Garbs may by som impartial and skilful hand be related with more candor clearness and uniformity What figure our Author made in the Parliament and in the Wars at home and abroad in his privat and public Capacities is generally known and needs not therefore be mention'd in this place The account he gives of himself in the following Papers is confirm'd by many living Witnesses as well as in the greatest part by other VVriters of the same Transactions But whether the vehemence of his Stile the barbarous Usage he receiv'd his concern for the Presbyterian Party and his Displeasure at the King's misfortunes to whom he was then an adherent and a friend have not guided his Pencil to draw the lines of Cromwel's Face too strong and the shadows too many I refer to the judgment of the disinterested Reader desiring him to allow all that is reasonably due to one in these or the like Circumstances This caution iustice has oblig'd me to insert For as to that tyrannical Usurper of the Supreme Administration who prov'd so ungrateful to the Commonwealth so treacherous to the King and so fatal toboth I think him bad enough painted in his own true Colours without standing in need of exaggerating Rhetoric to make him look more odious or deform'd I should write something here likewise with relation to General Fairfax but that the properest place for it seems to be in a Preface to his own MEMORIAL which is in good hands and it 's hop'd may be shortly expos'd to public view How far soever King Charles the First 's Enemies in England may look on themselves disoblig'd or any of his Friends neglected by my Lord Holles the Scots are surely beholding to him for in his long Panegyric on that Nation he has said more in their behalf than their own Historians have ever been able to offer But in this and other matters of the like nature we shall not anticipate the Readers Curiosity or Iudgment I shall therefore only acquaint him that tho this Piece be entitul'd Memorials from the History it contains yet in substance it is an Apology for that Party who took up Arms not to destroy the King or alter the Constitution but to restore the last and oblige the former to rule according to Law To the Unparallel'd Couple Mr. Oliver St. Iohn his Majesty's Sollicitor General and Mr. Oliver Cromwel the Parliament's Lieutenant General the two grand Designers of the Ruin of three Kingdoms GENTLEMEN AS You have been principal in ministring the matter of this Discourse and giving me the leisure of making it by banishing me from my Country and Business so is it reason I should particularly address it to You. You will find in it some representation of the grosser Lines of your Features those outward and notorious Enormities that make You remarkable and Your Pictures easie to be known which cannot be expected here so fully to the Life as I could wish He only can do that whose Eye and Hand have been with You in Your secret Counsels who has seen You at Your Meetings Your Sabbaths where You have laid by Your assumed Shapes with which You cozen'd the World and resumed Your own imparting each to other and both of You to Your fellow Witches the bottom of Your Designs the policy of Your Actings the turns of Your Contrivances all Your Falshoods Cozenings Villanies and Cruelties with Your full intentions to ruin the three Kingdoms All I will say to You is no more than what St. Peter said to Simon the Sorcerer Repent therefore of this Your wickedness and pray God if perhaps the thoughts of Your Hearts may be forgiven You. And if you have not Grace to pray for Your selves as it may be You have not I have the Charity to do it for You but not Faith enough to trust You. So I remain I thank God not
Common-wealth's Money by Gifts and Rewards and paying pretended Arrears in a word seek the ruin of the Kingdom and the advancement of themselves and their Party this made them change their Minds and many of them to confess and acknowledg they had been abused 47. But this was not the work of one day Some time passed before they could make these clear discoveries and disabuse themselves our grand Impostors kept them a good while at gaze with putting jealousies into their heads against the Scots as if the Scots had a design of making good their footing in this Kingdom and that we who were of the other Party from them did carry on the Scotch Interest and design'd to betray the Rights and Liberties of England with which Engine they batter'd a long time and made no small impression in many mens Minds 48. For the next step they meant to make was to fall foul with the Scots and engage the Kingdoms one against another in Blood which was the return they would give the Scots as a reward of the good Service they had done them coming to their help in time of need when they were so low so despairing of carrying on their work and effecting what they had projected to themselves as that the chief of them a little before were ready to run away Ships prepared good store of Treasure which they had shark'd pack'd up to carry with them or return'd beyond Sea by Bills of Exchange and all things in a readiness for their remove so well were they resolved to hazard and if need were sacrifice themselves for their Country tho they would be thought to be the only Patriots but they had certainly left it in the lurch if first my Lord of Essex had not done that memorable piece of Service in relieving Glocester which was so gallantly defended by Major General Massey and fighting the great Battel of Newbury And a little before that the Kingdom of Scotland engaging in the Cause sent in their Army to their assistance My Lord of Essex as has been shewed already had his reward he was cashier'd and so was Major General Massey who since likewise is turn'd out of the House being one of the eleven Members and voted to be impeached of High Treason And next the Scots must have theirs The quarrelling with them and endeavouring to destroy their Army is what I must now speak of as the Subject of the next Act in this Tragedy The first endeavour is to break the Scotish Army by not paying it which before whilst they had need of it or hopes that the Kingdom of Scotland might cooperate to the working of their Designs they could be careful to do their utmost to satisfie and to provide for it fitting Accommodations But now they can let many months pass without sending them any Money or taking any care for their supply or so much as affording them good words One of these two effects they thought this would certainly produce either the Soldiers to run away perhaps mutiny so the Army disband and fall to pieces or else live upon Free-quarters so by oppressing the Country to become odious and the people rise against them Nor were they wanting to give all encouragement so to do Emissaries were sent out and Agents employ'd in all places to stir up and imbitter mens Spirits Many Complaints were by their procurements sent up to the Parliament and all means used to get hands to those Complaints and strange things were suggested vast Sums to be levy'd by them so many thousand Pounds a week to be levy'd upon a County unheard of Insolencies to be committed Robbing Killing Ravishing Riots all manner of Villanies This would come up with open cry make a great noise be received and heighten'd in the House of Commons with railing Speeches bitter Invectives blown over the City and Kingdom to the disadvantage and reproach not only of the Army but the Nation in a word all done that could be imagin'd to set Man Woman and Child and even the very Stones against them The Commissioners of Scotland that were in London would many times send in their Papers to the Houses of Parliament to shew the falshoods of those Reports and desire that Committees might be sent down to join with theirs to examine these things pressing that it ought to be so done by the Treaty between the two Kingdoms and that there should always be a Committee of both Kingdoms with the Army to govern it to provide what was sit for the Soldiers and prevent both disorders and misunderstandings but it was not that which our Masters desir'd and therefore they would send none 49. The Members of the House who dislik'd those Courses and saw the endeavours that were us'd to cause a breach between the two Nations did yet desire that if those relations were true it might so appear and be represented not only to the General of the Army and to that part of the Committee of Estates of Scotland which was in England both those with the Parliament and those with the Army but even to the Kingdom of Scotland that there might be redress the Offenders punish'd and the Kingdom of England righted and satisfy'd If false that the raisers and contrivers of those Reports might be punish'd and the Kingdom of Scotland repaired which was the way to keep Peace between the Nations And so sometimes they prevail'd and got it order'd for an Examination but never any thing could be made of it Only at a Market-Town in Yorkshire there had been a Riot and some Men killed for which a Council of War had passed on the Offenders and some as I remember were executed some cashier'd And for the raising those great Sums of Money it is true Money they did raise or else their Soldiers must have starv'd But for that exorbitancy of raising so many thousand Pounds a Week upon one County it was a Scandal and false Lye grounded upon notable Cheat and Collusion For the Scots drawing their Quarters near together which they did as well for the better governing of their Army as for the safety of it knowing they had many back-friends this made them lie heavy upon places and exact the more Money and Provisions from those several Townships Then did these Men who were employed to blow the Coals and put all into a flame if possible between the Country and the Scots take the highest rate that was set upon any one of these Towns and make a computation what it would come to upon the whole County at that proportion which Sum they inform'd to be the charge upon that County for the payment of the Scotish Army and this must be made a great business and past for a truth as if the Scots had rais'd so much Money when in truth there was no such thing 50. Yet let me not be thought to excuse and justifie all that the Soldiers of that Army have done upon the Country and not to pity with a very tender Sense
the deep Sufferings of those Northern parts the Scotish Army lying so long upon them on Free-quarter I must be very ignorant of the carriage of an unpaid Army if I did not believe that many disorders were committed many a poor Country-man exceedingly oppress'd and abus'd by the unruly Soldiers and more by half taken and spoiled by them than would have sufficed for their Pay and Entertainment if it had been orderly raised and provided by the authority and care of the State which was to pay them And so should I likewise have very small bowels towards my Country England in general and particularly those poor Counties in one of which I receiv'd my being if I did not grieve and mourn from the bottom of my Soul for the sad condition which did then overspread them the poverty to which they are reduced the ruin of so many Houses and Families the Land lying in many places an uninhabited Wilderness all over a face of misery and desolation But then the more I am raised to an indignation against them who were the cause of this those who had rather suffer not one County or two but all the Counties in England and two Kingdoms besides to perish and ruin than they to fail of their Ends. So must all the North be made a Sacrifice to their malice and revenge upon the Scotish Nation and rather than not enforce the Scots to oppress those parts hoping at last they would fall one upon another they will suffer the Country to endure any Misery and not only so but impudently and perfidiously wrest and misinterpret the Treaty themselves had made and so put a great scorn thereon to give greater provocations to the Scots and thus they make themselves ridiculous and infamous to the World and to all posterity by a gross and palpable collusion 51. For when the Commissioners of Scotland and the General of the Army did so often and earnestly move for Pay for the Soldiers representing that on the monthly Pay which was condition'd for and promised they have not of so many Months received any thing and that it was impossible to observe that Discipline in the Army which was requisite for the ease of the County because the Soldiers were unpaid they had the face to say that by the Treaty the Scots could not receive their Pay at present because there was a Clause that if any part thereof were behind they should be allowed Interest for forbearance which Interest was not to be presently paid neither but afterwards when the Peace was setled and the Kingdom more able upon which these conscionable Logicians infer'd that allowing Interest nothing could be demanded So that which the Scots gave way to out of friendliness and confidence to shew they would not exact upon our necessities if at any time through the great occasions of expence we were not able to give them their full Pay is now made use of and ungratefully turned upon them to defer the payment of any part And this only to affront them and make them desperate 52. And as they deal with the Army so did they with the State and Kingdom of Scotland by putting neglects and indignities upon their Ministers raising jealousies of them and of the whole Nation For this they had their Robert Wright and their unknown Knight to give intelligence of Correspondencies held by them with the Queen of undertaking to do great matters for the King Treaties with France strange designs and practices against the Parliament and every foot Letters of Information from some well-wishers abroad to Mr. Sollicitor or Sir Henry Mildmay or some other of that Gang upon this strain Then this is whisper'd about and these Letters go from hand to hand and told as a secret in every bodies Ears to make people afraid and mistrust even their own Shadows as if all were in danger Sometimes the House must be acquainted with some of these things or some person or other brought to the Bar to make some relation as Sir Thomas Hanmore Then the doors are shut long winded Speeches made to set out our dangers and great expectations rais'd of strange discoveries and all but a parturiunt montes Yet this serves to make a noise and they had Instruments abroad to improve it and many hones well meaning men were cozen'd and stood at gaze knew not what to think of their Brethren of Scotland nor yet of the Members of either House and desir'd to have things more fairly carry'd towards them and as they had had experience of their faithfulness formerly so could they not be brought by such artifices to have an ill opinion of them without better grounds for it and therefore differ'd in the entertainment they gave to those alarms judging them false and causeless accordingly expressing themselves diverting and breaking the desperate thrusts which these men made and were therefore decry'd as Scotish malignant and prejudged in all they did or said 53. The malice against the Scots rests not here it carries them to discover and manifest slighting and neglecting and that not sufficiently provoking a violent injuring and affronting of them First they vouchsafe not to answer the Papers they put into the House some not at all none presently as formerly they were wont to do nor in any convenient time but make them wait days and weeks and months for a return to what the Commissioners present from the Kingdom of Scotland or from themselves in the name of that Kingdom 54. The Committee of the two Kingdoms is now no more in esteem than as they say a Saint without a Holiday That which before did manage all the great business which was looked upon with so much reverence even as a sacred thing pray'd for in the Churches like the Lords in the Council had all the `trust all the power not only in matters of War which were wholly left to them by the ordinance of their Constitution but all other business of consequence as framing propositions for Peace and all Addresses to his Majesty all Negotiations with foreign States whatsoever did in any high degree concern the Parliament or Kingdom was still referred to them and what they did passed for Law was seldom or never alter'd in the House But now the Tide was turn'd they had nothing to do Sir Thomas Fairfax was discharg'd of his subordination to them and left to himself to do as he saw cause with his Army They of the Committee who were of that Faction seldom or never came to it so that the Commissioners of Scotland and the other Members of it did come and attend three or four days one after another sometimes oftner to no purpose and no Committee could sit for want of a number nay they prevail'd so far as now to vilifie and shew their neglect or jealousie of the Scotish Commissioners They would sometimes get business referred to the Members of both Houses that were of that Committee with their Exclusion 55. To provoke them yet more
upon them If either of which had taken they had still kept themselves behind the Curtain and hid the Arm which had thrown the Stone they had seem'd alas innocent well-meaning Men and yet the mischief befallen which they had contriv'd But rather than fail they will throw of the Vizard and come downright with open face to the executing their Design They set on their Teazers as Haslerig Mildmay Martin and many others to move That Sir Thomas Fairfax might go down with his Army to protect those Northern Counties and relieve them from the oppression of the Scots a pretty way of protection and giving ease to send an Army into a Country We see how this Army eases the Country now to the breaking both of their backs and hearts But could they have gotten a Vote for this their work had been done and we should soon have heard of mischief and felt it The animosity between those two Armies had instantly put them and the Kingdoms into blood for which no question Sir Thomas Fairfax had his Instructions but the House would never give way to it tho with earnestness prest many times by that Party And when they saw they could not prevail the presumptions are very strong that they would have had the Army to have march'd thither without the Parliament's order for the Scots had an alarm of the Army 's moving towards them and their Commissioners so inform'd the House with a protestation against it upon which there was a stop with a denial and disavowment of their having any such intention Yet certainly there was an attempt and it is said orders out for part of the Army to move that way but God be thanked it went no further for that would have been a sad business 59. Before I go off this matter I must do that right to Col. Pointz who commanded the Northern Forces as to attribute to his care and vigilancy and his discreet ordering of his business a great part of our happiness that all that mischief was prevented which was so earnestly endeavour'd to be pull'd on us by engaging the Country and Scotish Army in quarrel and bloodshed and that was his Crime with these Men to be for it since so unjustly put out of his Command after they had stir'd up the unruly Rabble of the Agitators to take him by violence out of his House at York being as absolutely in his Command as Fairfax was in his Meerly doing it by an act of power force and violence breaking through all Rules of Justice Equity and Honesty bringing him a Prisoner to the Army not suffering him so much as to put on his Clothes or speak to his Wife or any Friend but use him as if he had been the greatest Traytor in the world when Sir Thomas Fairfax could not pretend to the least jurisdiction over him not any thing could be laid to his charge Such is their hatred of every honest Man who stands in their way to their pernicious designs 60. Their next hope was that the Scotish Army would not go out of the Kingdom at the desire of the Parliament so bloody Noses would be upon that occasion and I must give them their due there was no failure in them to do all that was possible to have kept them in still only to quarrel with them but with a seeming to desire nothing so much as their going Very forward they were to get the Vote of the Parliament that they should be gone but to inable them to go they would not help rather hinder and hang on all the weights they could To say the truth they had some ground to believe First That they would not go Secondly That they could not if they would for the Scots had a colour if not just reason to have refus'd 61. By the Covenant and Treaty the two Kingdoms had bound themselves before God and one to another as one intire Body to prosecute the Cause these are the very words of the Declaration of both Houses to the State of the united Provinces which Declaration Mr. Sollicitor himself penn'd therefore they must hold it Canonical and that neither Kingdom should lay down Arms till the Ends mention'd in the Covenant and Treaty were obtain'd If then in this Cause the Forces of both Kingdoms made but one intire Body the Scots had a good Plea Why will you send us away and disband us wholly This proceeding is not equal the Body must suffer and cannot act as an intire Body if one whole Member be cut off or if there be no more need of acting if the Ends be obtain'd for which the Body was constituted and therefore you send us away then why do you keep up your own Army the other part of this Body This had certainly been strong reason which Mr. Sollicitor would have been puzled to answer 62. Besides the Scots had cause enough to have their jealousie prompt them that it was not safe for them to depart with their Army lay by their Swords and leave standing in this Kingdom so great a Force which they knew to be so ill affected to them and might act to their prejudice and the King being in their power perhaps force both him and the Parliament to a Peace disadvantageous to Scotland and differing from those grounds upon which by the Kingdom of England they were engag'd in this Quarrel or else make no Peace at all but interpose as Cromwel to the Earl of Manchester to hinder it and themselves govern by the Sword not only to the prejudice of Scotland but also ruin of England One may swear there was ground enough for such a fear for since it hath prov'd so to purpose But according to the old Rule they who mean well themselves are not suspicious of others The Scots had no thoughts but of setling a Peace laying down of Arms calling the People and all things to revert into their old Channel therefore they were willing to be gone and return into their own Country in confidence that after their departure the Army under Sir Thomas Fairfax should likewise presently be disbanded since there was no more need of any Army at all so they were willing to go 63. But then the question was if they would go or not and how the Soldiers would be dispos'd to march out who had not been paid of so many Months insomuch as the Scotish Commissioners gave in an account of some 800000 l. Arrears Here our Gallants hop'd they had them upon the Hip and should surely give them a fall Then they thrust on some of their little Northern Beagles as Mr. Blaxton and others to inform what high Sums they had rais'd upon the Country upon which they conclude the Scotish Army was in their debt and therefore they would come to an account with them which had been a sure way to have kept them in the Kingdom five or six months longer But to help that our just Pay-masters said the Army should march away and some persons
full of honour and greatness was I think never heard of 165. And now the Houses fall to voting the Lords leading the way and outdoing the Commons as much as Mr. Lenthal outdid the Earl of Manchester in the Thanksgiving or Mr. Marshal did Mr. Nye in the thanksgiving Sermon They make Sir Thomas Fairfax Generalissimo Commander in chief of all the Forces in the Kingdom and Constable of the Tower otherwise signifying Mr. Oliver Cromwel of whom Sir Thomas was the shadow they thank his Excellency over again for his care of the safety of the City and Parliament Risum teneatis amici leave it wholly to him to appoint what Guards he thinks fit for their security Sed quis custodiet custodes give a months Pay for a gratuity to the Army for their many good Services which is praemium nequitiae then set up the Star Chamber the High Commission the Spanish Inquisition in one Committee of ten Lords and twenty Commoners read over but their names and you will swear it except for four of the Commoners who are very unequally yok'd sixteen against them to sit in the painted Chamber de die in diem to examine the business of the Mutiny and of forcing the Houses 166. So far the Lords lead and the Commons follow but in another Vote they go by themselves a good while that all things done by the Members since as they injuriously and falsly pretend the Speakers and other Members were driven away from the Parliament be annull'd and of no effect and declar'd to have been so at the making thereof The Commons can't agree to this but put off the debare to another time Some sense of honour there was amongst them and of the dangerous consequence of such a Vote besides the unreasonableness and injustice taking away the Authority by which those Votes were made and so exposing to question and ruin all such as were at the passing of them or had acted by them Many days debates were spent upon it but it could not be carry'd the House of Commons would be a House of Commons still and as they represent the people of England so assert their Liberties if they were left to themselves and not overaw'd by the power of the Army 167. Therefore the Agitators must to work again with an humble Address to his Excellency and some Proposals on behalf of the Kingdom and the Army First That all those that have fat at Westminster usurping a parliamentary Authority since the forcible expulsion of the Parliament may immediately be excluded the House Secondly That those Members who have adher'd to that pretended Parliament may be also excluded under a penalty if they presume to sit Thirdly That all former Votes against disaffected Members may be put in execution And this is to make a free Parliament for those Rogues to determine who shall sit who shall not and how they shall be punish'd who disobey them These Lords and Commoners deserve well of Parliament and Kingdom that ran away from the Parliament and went to the Army for this 168. Sir Thomas Fairfax and the Council of War answer presently for it is but a Song of two parts making one harmony all set by the same hand A Remonstrance is forthwith produc'd and sent to both Houses the 18 th of August a sorrowful Ditty for the poor House of Commons which tells them plainly after a long deduction of all passages just lying over the same Lies again That those Members which sat during the absence of the Speakers are guilty of the prosecution and maintenance of the said treasonable engagement and violence and therefore must not be their Judges but their adverse Party shall be theirs which is Army Justice That they might have been made Prisoners of War wherefore they protest and declare if they hereafter intrude themselves to sit in Parliament they can no longer suffer it but will take some speedy effectual course that both they and others guilty of the same practices may be brought to condign punishment 169. And they back this Remonstrance for which the Lords return a Letter of approbation and great thanks to his Excellency for his continu'd care of the honour and freedom of Parliament with a Party of a thousand Horse drawn up to Hide-Park Cromwel and Ireton making menacing Speeches in the House and Guards out of the Army besetting the doors and avenues By all which means and the terror of their surly impeaching looks as some of the Pamphleteers observe it many of the Members were driven away and the poor House forc'd the 20 th of August to pass the Ordinance for declaring all Votes Orders and Ordinances made in one or both Houses from Iuly 26 till August 6 null and void And now they are a free Parliament or as Haslerig told them the next day after the eleven Members were withdrawn a glorious Parliament in truth no Parliament but they are what Mr. Cromwel will have them to be 170. Then they lay about them impeach seven Lords of High Treason sparing only my Lord of Pembrook They proceed against some of their own Members suspend Mr. Bainton put Commissary Copley and Mr. Recorder out of the House whom they commit to the Tower for high Misdemeanours expel likewise Sir Iohn Maynard and send him to the Tower The rest of the eleven Members upon the City's delivering up it self and the Parliament to the will of the Army having sent for their Passes which the House had order'd and upon them withdrawn themselves into foreign parts the Lord Mayor and some of the Aldermen were likewise imprison'd in the Tower and charg'd with Treason And all honest Men persecuted threaten'd and therefore fled and scatter'd some one way and some another and these are the effects of a free Parliament 171. The Lieutenant of the Tower Colonel West an honest and gallant Man after he had been at charge to treat and entertain Sir Thomas Fairfax coming to take possession of his Place as Constable was by that worthy General by way of thankfulness for his good entertainment turn'd out And an Independent one Tichburn a Linen Draper put in which was done with so much insolency and scorn of the City as when his favourite Alderman Gibbs had prepar'd a long winded Speech in the name of the City who crav'd it as a Boon and Act of Grace that he would keep in the old Lieutenant he cut him off short and bid him speak no more of it Indeed it had been against his Instructions and the Maxim of his Master Cromwel and all that faction which is to suffer none in any power save such as are theirs Body and Soul and put all others out 172. So Colonel Pointz was seiz'd upon and by force fetch'd out of his Command in the North Major General Massey must not continue in his of the West Captain Patten turn'd out of his Vice Admiralship and Rainsborough put in Colonel Carne out of the Government of the Isle of Wight and Hammond
