The occasion and manner of Mr. FRANCIS WOLLEYS death slaine by the Earle of CHESTERFIELD at KENSINGTON January 17. 1659. Written by a Gentleman of the Middle Temple to his friend in Ches-shire SIR TO give you a more exact account of this sad disaster and death of Mr. Wolley I hold it proper to impart to you the first 〈◊〉 of their unhappy acquaintance Mr. Wolley mounted on a sprightly Maire about a quarter of a year before the accident passed in the streets at London and riding in the Covent-Garden the Earle seeing and liking the Maire dispatcht a Foot-man to him to know whether the Maire was to be sold or not Mr. Wolley answered she was if he might have his price hereupon a second message was sent to him to speak with the Earle which direction presently observed the Earle and he agreed of a price eighteen pieces in gold and immediately the Earle was owner of the Maire and the Gentleman of the money And having acquainted the Earle in the presence of Master Windam his friend now of the Middle Temple that the Maire before he had her was Major Salkills who liveth in St. Martins-Lane and that she was a gift bestowed on him relating likewise that he resided sometimes at the Middle Temple and sometimes with his father at Hammer-smith whither he was then returning his Lordship tendred Master Wolley his Coach to carry him thither which civility refused they then parted from which time being about three moenths Master Wolley never saw the Earle nor received a line or word from him untill accidentally passing in the street on Saturday last the Earle being in his Coach seeing Master Wolley called him to him telling him that his Maire proved not according to his word and therefore he required him to retake the Maire and refund the money To which Master Wolley replied that he looked on that command of his Lordship as neither reasonable nor just for that he never made him any such promise and therefore desired his pardon for he would not obey it in that particular To which the Earle speedily added that he should expect then to hear further from him so they parted at that time It seems from these sparks a greater fire was quickly kindled on Monday morning following the Earle did hasten to Hammersmith where lighting at the Goat he dispatched Master Philip Howard son to the Earle of Berk-shire to enquire for Master Wolley at his fathers house meeting presently with him he desired him to walk up to the Inne where the Earle of Chesterfield stayed to which motion Master Wolley assented and went but what passed betwixt the Earle and Master Wolley is not yet discovered his Lordship or Master Howard best know After half an houre or thereabouts Master Wolley returning to his Fathers House and being demanded what was the result and conclusion with his Lordship told his father that he was pressed to retake his Maire but he resolved the contrary and said that the Earl and he parted friendly after dinner on Monday Master Wolley rode abroad and pretended to visit a Gentleman who lived not far from Fulham and returned not till it began to grow dark discovering no distemper either by his carriage or language And in this composure having after Supper craved his parents blessing he 〈◊〉 to his Chamber and so to Bed the next morning being Tuesday he rose very early and privately without noise got out of his Chamber walking as he was wont towards the Stable for so the Cook-maid observed him in his Gown where he found his Groome In the mean time his father having no suspition of his sons death and danger so neere continued his repose in his bed untill in the revolution of some second thoughts he knockt and call'd for his servant to come up and directed her to wish his sonne to come to his father who when she returned told her that Mr. Wolley was not to be found then she was desired to enquire for his Groome and she returned with a second answer that she could not meet with him The afflicted parents in their bed alarm'd with these confused circumstances rose speedily and in their so divided and distracted thoughts knew not where to seek and search for their sonne yet in their amazements and affrights his father intreated a civil person who lodged in the house and some neighbours to walk abroad and enquire after him but no news was brought to the Doctor of his sonne until it was dispatcht to him by a messenger sent from Mr. Colebies of Kensington who told him oh Sir your sonne is slaine and lies dead in a field below Mr. Colebies house which sadnesse proved too true The Corps gored with blood fallen on the ground had received two wounds the one on the left hand which tore and pierced the nerves and sinews The other passed quite thorough the body making the orifice neer the right Pap came forth on his back under the plate of his left shoulder Having now as neer as I can related the occasion and manner of his death I shall impart to you what I observed at his Funerals which were honoured by many Templars and Persons of quality as well as others who with wet eyes testified the dolour and sadnesse of their hearts for the Gentlemans violent and untimely death but that which I conceived most observable was an elegant Oration of the preacher Mr. Fowler who commended the Gentleman to the grave with a large Character and a Catalogue of many worthy vertues which were eminent in him when he was alive and therefore more happily now honoured him at his death amongst other graces and qualities he highly commended him for Piety towards God Charity to the poore Modesty Chastity Temperance and Sobriety and it was a sincere note of his devotion That in this Re'ncounter the Common-prayer Book was found in his pocket when he was dead as his only best Companion to the last gasp The preacher gave him another encomium before he suffered the dust to cover the Corps That his lips were never accustomed or polluted with Lies nor blasphemous and horrid Oathes And as for obedience to his parents That he was an unparalell'd Example and truely as he had some advantages by his four years travel abroad so for his six yeares Residence in the Temple he was observed to be as civil and hopeful a Student as the choicest in that Society FINIS
