the Grandees were that abetted those riotous Assemblies and also had had a hand in the Scorch Troubles whose untoward issue and conclusion lay heavy upon his heart he resolved to seise them in the Parliament-house and so bring them to a speedy Trial. This was attempted by the King but the birds were flown notice being given the House of Common by one Langrish a Servant of the Queens of the Kings coming thither to demand the Five Members But the business ended not so the House vote it a breach of priviledge and complain o● evil Counsellors about the Kings person who not able or willing longer to endure those indignities oftered daily at his Court gates leaves Whitehal and departs from Hampton Court and soon after the Five Members return to their places in the House guarded thither in much bravery by the Trained Bands by water This added fuel to the fire that was now ready to flame nor could another combustion in the sister Kingdom of Ireland which broke forth in October some two moneths before give them caution to look to this at home The manner of the breaking forth and the discovery of that Irish Rebellion was as followeth Anno Domini 1641. ON the 23. day of October 1641. that horrid Rebellion broke forth there that day they intended to seize the Castle of Dublin the Irish being every where else risen and in arms but the design was discovered by one Owen Conally an Irish Gentleman by birth and family but a retainer to Sir Iohn Clotworthy who being acquainted with the plot by one of the Rebells leaping over a set of pales whether he pretended to go and ease himself escaped by the favour of a dark night ran away and informed the Lord Justice Parsons with the whole design Upon this discovery the Lord Mack Gutre and one Mr. Mac Mahon were seised in Dublin the Town though in a most terrible fright was presently put into a posture of defence Advice was sent thorowout the Kingdom of Ireland of the Rebellion but all too late for it was universal and no part of the Kingdom where they were not risen so that a Proclamation against them and all raising of Arms was the best present remedy Notwithstanding the Rebels under the command of Sir Phelim Oneal as General seize all Vlster except the Castle of Eneskelin sparing for a while the Scotch Plantations there but growing so numerous that they dreaded not any supplies from the vicinity of Scotland they at last force them plunder them and garrison the cheil places of strength Sir Phelim Oneale taketh Dundalk and publisheth his Declaration called The Declaration of the Catholique Confederate Subjects of his Majesties Kingdome of Ireland s●uft with many shews of their Religion and Loyalty as could be and which is notable asserting that they did it to remove that Tyranny put upon their consciences in imitation of their fellow-subjects of Scotland who got a priviledge by that course Presently after they besieged Tredah but after several encounters betwixt the besieged their relief being defeated at Gillington-bridge by reason of a mutiny amongst them and the Rebels The Town was at last freed by a strong assistance and supply sent them from Dublin under the command of Sir Henry Titchburn who soon after upon the dislodgement of the Enemy from the Town followed him overtook him and routed him recovering Dundalk again by storm putting all to the sword while Oneale hardly escaped over the river and so fled Leave we this Kingdom in a forlorn miserable condition and cast an eye homeward The King was departed from Hampton Court thence in company with his Queen and his Daughter the Princess of Aurange to Dover to see them shipped for Holland he returned streight to Greenwich from thence having the Prince in his company to Theoballs Still the difference widened more and more according as he removed from London to which he was importunately desired to return by both Houses by the members thereof who continued sitting though the Grandees of the Faction were well contented with what distance he kept from them as rendring their pretended jealousies and fears more and more credible to the deluded people From Thoballs the misundestandings still increasing betwixt the King and his Two Houses he removed Northward first to Royston thence to Newmarket and in conclusion to York having received and answered several messages from the Parliament by the way The principal difference between the King and them was the Militia this was disputed betwixt them the King claiming it as an unseparable right of the Crown and the Houses urging the management of it for present satisfaction and safety and had thereupon nominated Officers which designation the King disallowed and now the rupture was visible Anno Domoni 1642. THe Gentry and the Generality of the County of York proffer to raise a Guard from amongst themselves for the Kings person in the mean time the Parliament desire him that the Magazine might be removed from Hull at which the King being displeased goes from York and demands the said Town stores and Magazines therein to be delivered to him which the Governour Sir Iohn Hotham presenting himself on his knees upon the walls refused to do save that if the King with some small retinue would enter he freely might This affront very much ne●led his Majesty so that he did very sharply complain of it to the Parliament but they rather justified Sir Iohn Hotham then gave the King any satisfaction which made him attempt for his Honour sake something against the Town by force in which enterprise some twenty of the Kings Guards were killed and so he retreated to Beverley where he found a very great addition of Gentlemen from all parts of the Kingdom who with their duty presented him their service In the mean while the Parliament was intent on the business of leavying Arms though several Patriots of both Houses did what they could to perswade to an accommodation amongst whom Sir Benjamin Rudyard was one of the chief who all along warned them of the miseries of a Civil War and what a shame it would be to them in after times and so consequently to all Parliaments if when the King had condescended so far they should proceed to the effusion of blood upon so unnecessary a quarrel he dyed soon after the first blood was drawn and that speech of his on his death-bed is very remarkable Mr. Pym and Mr Hamden saith he the Grandees of the then Faction told me That they thought the King so ●ll-beloved by his Subjects that he could never be able to raise an Army to oppose them which mistake of theirs cost many thousand live Nom the Militia was on foot every where the Parliaments Cause had the precedency of affection their Ordinances being obeyed like Acts wherefore the King prohibited by Proclamation any Levies Musters or of his Subjects any where in England without his command and

you in a way First you are out of the way for certainly all the wayes you ever had yet as far as I could find by any thing is in the way of Conquests Certainly this is an ill way for Conquest in my Opinion is never just except there he a just and good cause either for matter of wrong or a just title and then if ye go beyond the first quarrel that ye have that makes it unjust at the end that was just at first for if there be only matter of Conquest then it is a great robbery as a Pyrate said to Alexander That he was the great Robber himself himself was but a petty Robber And so Sirs I do think for the way that you are in you are much out of the way Now Sirs to put you in the way believe it you will never go right nor God will never prosper you until you give God his due the King his due that is my Successor and the people their due I am as much for them as any of you You must give God his due by regulating rightly his Church according to the Scripture which is now out of order and to set you in a way particularly now I cannot but only this A National Synod freely called freely debating among themselves must settle this When every Opinion is freely and clearly heard For the King indeed I will not the Laws of the Land will clearly instruct you for that therefore because it concerns mine own particular I only give you a touch of it For the People truly I desire their liberty and freedome as much as any body whomsoever But I must tell you that their liberty and their freedome consist in having Government under those Laws by which their lives and theirs may be most their own it is not in having a share in the Government that is nothing pertaining to them A Subject and a Soveraign are clean different things and therefore until you do that I mean that you put the people into that liberty as I say certainly they will never enjoy themselves Sirs it was for this that now I am hither come for if I would have given way to an arbitrary way for to have all Laws changed according to the power of the Sword I need not have come here and therefore I tell you and I pray God it be not laid to your charge that I am the Martyr of the people Introath Sirs I shall not hold you any longer I will only say this to you that I could have desired some little time longer because I would have put this what I have said in a little better order and have had it a little better digested then I have done and therefore I hope you will excuse me I have delivered my Conscience I pray God you take those courses that are best for the good of the Kingdome and your own Salvation After some Ejaculations he laid down his Head upon the Block and stretched out his hands The S●gn 〈◊〉 had it severed from his body at one blow by the Vizarded Executioner who presently held it up and shewed it to the people His Head and Trunk were afterwards coffined in Lead and exposed to publick view at S. Iames's till lastly the Duke of Len●● the Marquess of Hartford the Earl of Southampton and the Bishop of London begged the Body to bury it which they conducted to Windsor Chappel-Royal and there interred it with only this Insc●●ption upon the Co●●● CHARLES KING OF ENGLAND MDC.XLVIII After this most 〈◊〉 murder they declared themselves to be a Free State setting out a Proclamation wherein they declare th●t no person hath Right to the Crown o● England abolishing thereby the ●ingly ●overnment and debarring of our Rightful Soveraign ●om any claim c. declaring him also a Traytor with the rest of the Royal Issue for refusing the publication of which the Lord Mayor Reynoldson was outed imprisoned and fined 2000 l. In March they proceed with their High Court of Justice newly modelled and a new President to the Tryal of these Noble persons they had in custody about the last years risings whereof Duke Hamilton Earl of Holland Earl of Norwich the Lord Capel and Sir Iohn Owen were condemned to be beheaded the Duke and Holland and Capel were accordingly executed in the Palace-yard the other two with much ado were pardoned P●nt●fract Castle was now rendred to the Parliament by Colonel Morris being the last Garrison for the King in England Now they had leisure to look towards Ireland whether Lievtenant General Cromwell was sent with an Army of 10000 men which landed about this time at Dublin where a little before Colonel Iones the Governour having received a supply of 1000 men had sallied out and beaten my Lord of Ormond from off the siege where he lay with 20000 and upwards through the carelesness and treachery of the Guards Here were slain to the number of three thousand and five thousand taken prisoners this proved the loss of all Ireland which was then entirely for the King save this City and London-Derry Anno Domoni 1649. Cromwell upon his arrival sets presently forward towards Tredah whereinto the Lord Lievtenant Ormond had put a Garrison of choice English and some Irish to this Town he gave three assaults and was valiantly repulsed but in conclusion of the third the Town was entred and man woman and children put to the sword for three daies in cold bloud with the Governour himself Sir Arthur Aston a well experienced and valiant Captain Anno Dom. 1649. and 1650. VPon this success Trim and Dundalk yielded themselves to him the Marquess of Ormond hovering neer him with his Army but yet not daring to attempt any thing Wexford was the next Town he attaqued which by storm he took also putting all in arms to the sword thence to Passage Fort and so to Waterford from whence he considering the Winter approaching drew off to quarters having already possession of most of the Towns of Ireland Limrick Galloway Clonmell and Kilkenny excepted which soon after were reduced by him and his Successor Ireton and that Kingdome was wholly brought in subjection to the Parliament The next thing that busied the new Commonwealth was the affairs of Scotland who had long before proclaimed the King and were now treating with him therefore they recalled home Lievtenant General Cromwell whom upon Fairfaxes refusal of going against the Scots they now advanced to be General He came Iune the last to London having landed at Bristol and was highly treated by the Parliament Dorislaus that drew up the charge against the King was killed at the Hague in May last and Ascham that was sent on the same errand to the King of Spain was killed also by some English men in his Inne at Supper this did mightily inrage the new Commonwealth that their Min●sters could no where be protected According to the conclusion of the Treaty between the King and his Subjects
