Guns and small shot gave them many vollies for a farewel Thus was he welcomed by the Scots hereafter we shall see how he will welcome himself for this is not the last time which he means to visit them his next errand I fear will be less to their content Cromwel having now finished what he came about prepares to depart October the 16 1648. he leaves Edinburgh being conducted some miles on his way by Arguile and some other of the Scotch Nobility at whose parting great demonstrations of affection past betwixt them Cromwel now bends his course directly to Carlisle from thence marches Southerly to compel Col. John Morrice and those bold fellows to yeeld that held out Pontefract Castle This place though not very great was very considerable as to the strength of it but 't was not the Fortification nor Wall of Stones but the Wall of Bones as it were that made it so famous at this time all the Kingdom over The Garison consisted of about 400 Foot and 130 Horse bold desperate Fellows as may be perceived by some of their Actions One day there issued out of the Castle a party of Horse who fetcht in Sir Arthur Ingram and made him pay 1500 l. for his Ransom before he could get from them Again afterwards Captain Clayton and most of his Troop was seized upon by them and made prisoners 200 head of Cattle with many Horses they fetch'd into the Castle whilst Sir Henry Cholmley lay before it with his Forces to keep them in But the boldest trick of all was this One morning before day there sallied out 40 Horse who post away to Doncaster where Col. Rainsborough then quartered who had a Commission to command in chief before the Castle when they were come near the Town three of the party left their Fellows without and confidently marching in enquired for Col. Rainsborough's quarters which when they had notice of they entered pretending to deliver a Letter to him from Lieutenant-General Cromwel The Col. little dreaming that these were the Messengers of death confidently opens his Chamber door to receive the Letter but instead thereof he received that fatal wound into his heart that sent him to his grave And although his Forces were about him and kept guard in the Town yet these confident Fellows got back into the Castle in the middle of the day To curb these insolencies Cromwel immediately after he had setled the Northern Counties in peace and quietness comes to the Leaguer and having ordered the several Posts for a close Siege so that now they could not range abroad he left a strong party before it commanded by Lambert who was come thither out of Scotland Himself marches up to London and takes his place in the Parliament who were sufficiently sensible of the large testimony he had given in Scotland of his prudence in governing his Army whilst they were in that Kingdom and with what civility both Officers and Souldiers behaved themselves together with their care to avoid all causes of offence both in their Quarters and March They thereupon order the hearty thanks of the House of to be given to this worthy Captain which was accordingly done by the Speaker whilst he sate among them he receiving it with great humility after his manner not taking to himself the least of all those great things that were wrought by him but attributing them wholly to GOD who is the Giver of Victories Now the smooth countenance of Peace having once againe appeared over most part of the Nation the Parliament takes into consideration the punishment of the chief abettors and promoters of the late War and looking upon the King as a chief Instrument they resolve to bring him to a speedy Tryal in order whereunto a Charge was drawn up against him consisting of many Heads chiefly That he was the Promoter of the Rebellion in Ireland The Contriver of the Wars in England and what blood soever had been spilt in the Nation in the time of the Wars was put to his Charge as an Actor in and at many ingagements with many other Enormities and Crimes which they said he was guilty of To cary on this work thus begun a high Court of Justice was erected consisting of some Lords many Members of the House of Commons and Officers of the Army over whom was set Serjeant Bradshaw as President of the Court. All things being thus prepared the King was conducted to St. James's from Windsor by a party of Horse and afterward removed to Sir Robert Cottons House in order to his Tryal which lasted three days in fine he was condemned and presently after executed before his Palace of White-hall on Tuesday January the 30 1648. Thus fell King Charles a man indued with singular Vertues temperate he was above all his Predecessors both as to Wine and Women taking no more of the first then might well suffice and cherish Nature and for the last constant to one insomuch that none of all the preceding Kings that arrived to his years except his Royal Father could be compared to him He was a good Theologician not onely in the Theorick but Practis'd what he knew None ever undertook him in dispute but much admired his Parts even those Ministers which the Parliament sent to him in Isle of Wight besides many others the Earl of Worcester and Mr. Hendersen were both silenced with his Arguments He was endued with much Patience Prosperity and Adversity being both one to him working little else in him but onely to shew that he had an absolute command over his Passions and Affections His Actions in the last scene of his Life made many pity him who before had undervaluing thoughts of his Abilities looking upon him as too weak to bear the burden of three Kingdoms on his Shoulders In a word he wanted nothing but less confidence in those about him and more courage and resolution in himself to be a happy King This Tragedy being over the Parliament immediately changed the Government into a Commonwealth voting a King and House of Lords to be unnecessary and chargeable that the Supream Authority should reside in the House of Commons alone without King or Lords and to that effect imposed an Engagement to be taken by all persons before they should receive any benefit by the Law or enjoy any place of publick trust or profit which they could hinder them of This Pill many swallowed but did not like the taste had it not been wrapt about in gold their profit few would have put it to their Mouths The Stomacks of the Clergy most of all nauseated it being point-blank against the Covenant which they had taken not long before and endeavoured still to maintain Affairs of State standing thus the Parliament finde the Nation full of Souldiers that were lately disbanded some by force in the field as the Kings and others the Parliaments formerly in their service but now disbanded for supernumeraries these for the most part were men of Fortune who
