Andrew he ran through the Classes of Logick and Philosophy under the tuition of several eminent Masters before he was scarce 16 years of age Afterwards applying his studies with great zeal to the Civil Law he travelled into France and in the University of Bourges he continued in an eager pursuit of that faculty for about three years time After his return to his native Country he became an Advocate in the Courts at Edenburgh being then scarce 20 years of age and in 1661 he was made choice of to be an Advocate for pleading the causes of the Marquess of Argyle and afterwards became a Judge in the criminal Court which office he performed with great faith justice and integrity In 1674 or thereabouts he was made the Kings Lord Advocate and one of his Privy Council and notwithstanding the great troubles and molestations that arose from the fanatical party yet he continued in those places and stood steady faithful and just in the opinion of all good and loyal men till the beginning of the raign of K. James 7 at which time being averse in lending his assistance to the taking away of the penal laws he was removed and Sir Joh. Dalrimple now Secretary of State in Scotland under K.

severe Puritans and under a puritanical discipline And being esteemed a plain honest man a Person of great integrity and profound in the Law he was entertained by both as well loyal as Presbyterian parties In 1643 he took the Covenant and as I have been often informed he appeared several times with other Lay-persons among the Assembly of Divines He was then in great esteem with the Parliament and was employed by the members thereof as to his counsel about several matters particularly in the reducing the Garrison of Oxford to their service who as a Lawyer was added to the Commissioners appointed by them to treat with those appointed by the King And in that capacity he did good service by advising them especially Fairfax the Generalissimo to have in his eye a preservation of that place Oxon so famous for learning from ruin Afterwards tho the loss of the blessed K. Ch. 1. was a great grief to him yet he took the oath called the Engagement and thereby was the more enabled to plead and practice his profession In Jan. 1651. he with Will. Steel Esq Recorder of the City of London Charles George Cock Esq Sir Hen. Blount Kt John Fountaine Esq a common Lawyer Hugh Peters Clerk Joh. Rushworth of Linc. inn Sir Anth. Ashley Cooper Bt c. were appointed by the Parliament to consider of the reformation of the Law and accordingly they met several times in the room formerly called the House of Lords but what the result of their meeting was I cannot yet tell On the 25. of Jan. 1653. our author Hale was by writ made Serjeant at Law and soon after one of the Justices of the Common Bench in which place he acted with great justice and integrity not without the displeasure sometimes as 't is said of the Protector In 1654 he was one of those 5 Knights who were elected for the County of Glocester to serve in that Parliament which began at Westm 3. of Sept. purposely as 't is said to obstruct the mad and wicked projects then on foot by two parties that had very different principles and ends In 1658 he was elected one of the Burgesses of the Univ. of Oxon to serve in that Parliament called Richards Parliament which began at Westm 27. Jan. the same year and in Ap. 1660 he was elected one of the Knights for Glocestershire to serve in that Parliament called the Healing and blessed Parliament which began at the same place on the 25 of the said month Which Parliament calling the King home from his Exile he was soon after made Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer and Knighted In the month of May 1671 he was upon the death of Sir John Keeling advanced to the place of L. Ch. Justice of the Court of Kings Bench and on the 18 of the said month took the usual Oathes before the Lord Keeper and his seat accordingly on that Bench. He was an unwearied Student a prudent man a solid Philosopher a famous Lawyer the Pillar and Basis of justice who would not have done an unjust act for any worldly price or motive the ornament of his Majesties Government and honour of England the highest faculty of the soul of Westminster Hall and pattern to all the reverend and honorable Judges a godly serious practical Christian the lover of goodness and all good men a lamenter of the Clergies selfishness and unfaithfulness c. a great contemner of riches pomp and vanity of the world a pattern of honest plainess and humility c.

dinner when he convey'd him to Windsore he appointed several of his Officers to ride close to the King least he should make an escape from them Fourthly that after the K. had continued at Winds for some days keeping his last but very sad Christmas he conveyed him in a Coach thence to S. James's in order to his trial at which time Harrison was with him in the said Coach with his head covered talked with little or no reverence to him And when the King proposed to him What do they intend to do with me whether to murther me or not the Major made answer that there was no intention to kill him me have no such thoughts yet the Lord hath reserved you for a public example of justice c. Fifthly That when the King was to be brought to his Trial there was a Committee sate in the Exchecquer Chamber at which the Major being present he used these expressions before them Gentlemen it will be good for us to blaken him meaning his Majesty what we can pray let us blacken him or words to that purpose Sixthly that he was one of the hellish crew that sate publickly in judgment on his Majesty when he was by them tried for his life in Westm Hall was there when sentence passed for his decollation and stood up as the rest did as consenting thereunto and did afterwards set his hand to the bloody Warrant for his Execution c. For these his services he was soon after made a Colonel and at length a Major General and on the 24 of Nov. 1652 he was one of those that were elected to be members of the Council of State While he was Major Gen. and in favour with Oliver the Principality of Wales was appointed to be under his command where the then Laws appointed were by him put in full force No orthodox Minister could there be suffered but whom he pleased to allow and with the assistance of his Chaplain Vav Powell a giddy-headed person and second brother to Hugh Peters he endeavoured the modelling of that Country so as that none but their own Proselytes should teach and instruct the people c. At length he perceiving full well that Cromwell gaped after the Government by a single person he with great scorn and indignation left him and became the Ring-leader of all the Schismaticks especially of that dangerous party called the Fift-monarchy men and great with Joh. Lilbourne as mad as he Whereupon Cromwell to be quick with committed him to safe custody and put him out of all commission Afterwards he was set at liberty but committed again and again upon every suspicious account and in Feb. 1657 he was re-baptized purposely to gain the Anabaptists to his party At length engaging himself with Maj. Gen. John Lambert newly escaped from his Prison in the Tower to raise Forces against the King who was then voiced in most parts of the Nation to be returning from his exile to take possession of his Kingdom he was snapt in the very point of time wherein he intended to have headed a party and was conveyed Prisoner to the Tower of London for the same After his Majesties restauration a greater matter being laid to his charge viz. of having a very deep and signal hand in the murder of his Prince his imprisonment was made more close At length being conveyed thence to Newgate and so to Hicks Hall and afterwards to the Sessions house in the Old Bayly was after a long Trial condemned to dye for the same 11 Octob. 1660 and thereupon was sent to the said Prison of Newgate On the 13 of the same month he was conveyed thence on a Hurdle guarded by a Troop of Horse and some of the Trained Bands to the rail'd place where Charing Cross stood within which railes a Gibbet was set up on purpose whereon he was hanged with his face towards the Banquetting house at Whitehall where the pretious and innocent blood of K. Ch. 1. was spilt by the said Harrison and the rest of the bloody Regicides When he was half hanged he was cut down his bowels burned his head severed from his body and his quarters carried back on the same Hurdle to Newgate to be disposed at his Majesties pleasure On the 16 of the same month his head was set on Westminster Hall and his quarters exposed to public view on some of the Gates of the City of London Soon after was published under his name Some occasional Speeches and memorable Passages after his coming to Newgate with his Speech upon the Ladder Printed at London in qu.

Cromwell afterwards Protector a Colonel of Horse and at length by his allurements one of the Judges of the said King in that bloody Court called The High Court of Justice where he was present and stood up as consenting when Sentence passed for his decollation and afterwards set his hand to the Warrant for his Execution He was a Gentleman of courage and valour and tho he could neither pray preach or dissemble being rather a boon companion yet complying very kindly with Oliver's new Court and being in his Principles for Kingship he was reckoned fit to be taken out of the House of Commons having before been one of the Council of State and to be made a Member of the other House that is House of Lords by his cosin the Protector who about that time committed him to the Tower but soon released him thence for beating the honest Inn-keeper of Ailesbury in Whitehall In the beginning of the year 1660 when Colonel commonly called Maj.

Baxter in several of his publick Writings doth most uncharitably suggest as if he Dr. Steuart when at Paris had a design to introduce the French Popery by preaching it appears to the contrary not only in that but in another sermon preached in defence of the Protestants against the Papists in an Auditory of Prelatists there Besides also he with that publick spirited man Sir George Ratcliff did go very far in making an accommodation between the Jansenists and the reformed Party our Author being then Chaplain to his Maj.

Kilburne flew about wherein he tells you that Nedham wrot Politicus Intelligencer As famous as old Meg Spencer Pragmaticus The Spy what not Britanicus The Counter plot Of Hell c. But notwithstanding all verbal and printed complaints he for money given to an hungry courtier obtained his pardon under the Great Seal which was his defence oftentimes particularly at Oxford Act in 1661 when then several set upon him in S. Maries Church to hale him before a Justice and so to prison for treason so that I say being free and at liberty by vertue of that Seal which he several times produced he exercised the faculty of physick to his dying day among the Brethren which was a considerable benefit to him He was a person endowed with quick natural parts was a good humanitian Poet and boon Droll And had he been constant to his Cavaleering principles he would have been beloved by and admired of all but being mercenary and valuing money and sordid interest rather than conscience friendship or love to his Prince was much hated by the Royal Party to his last and many cannot yet endure to hear him spoken of Among several things that he hath written and published these following have only come to my sight Mercurius Britanicus communicating the affairs of Great Britaine for the better information of the people These Mercuries began about the middle of Octob. 1643 and were carried on thence week by week every Munday in one sh to the latter end of 1646 or beginning of 1647.

Generally reported to have been written by this author particularly 1 By the writer of the Brief Chron. of the late intestine war c. who tells us that when the King fled from Hampton Court in Nov. 1647 to the Isle of Wight one Nedham published a most execrable and blasphemous paper called A hue and crie after the King c. But how it can be so I cannot judge unless our author Nedham could write treason and loyalty in one breath for at that time and some weeks before he wrot Merc. Pragm as I shall anon tell you 2 The writer of the witty Poem entit Merc. Britanicus his welcome to Hell wherein reckoning up most of the Intelligencies that were wrot for the Parliament saith thus Amongst all these dear son Britanicus Thou hast shew'd thy self the best Mercurius Thou hast out-slander'd Slander and prevail'd And every railing Rogue thou hast out-rail'd Thou bravely didst thy Soveraigne vilifie Persu'dst his honour with an Hue and Cry Abus'd the Queen with scandals c. But the Reader is to know notwithstanding these Writers that the Hue and Cry was not written when the K. left Hampton Court but after his defeat at Naseby an 1645.

Mercurius pragmaticus communicating intelligence from all parts touching all affairs designs humours and conditions throughout the Kingdom especially from Westminster and the Head-quarters There were two parts of them and they came out weekly in one sheet in qu. The former part commenced the 14 Sept. 1647 and ended the 9 Jan. 1648. The other which was intit Merc. pragm for K.

But who the author of this was I cannot tell Mercurius Politicus Comprising the sum of forein intelligence with the affairs now on foot in the three Nations of England Scotland and Ireland These Mercuries came out weekly every Wednesday in two sheets in qu. commencing with the 9 of June 1649 and ending with the 6 of June 1650.

both express'd the greatness of their Founders and preserved the splendor of the Kingdom which might at the reformation have in some measure been kept up and converted to sundry pious uses Upon consideration thereof those Gent. declined it and pitch'd upon the Vault where K. Ed. 4. had been inter'd being on the north side of the Choire near the Altar that K. being one his late Maj. would oftentimes make honorable mention of and from whom his Maj. was lineally propagated That therefore induced Mr. Herbert to give order to N. Harrison and Hen. Jackson to have that Vault opened partly covered with a fair large stone of Touch raised within the Arch adjoyning having a range of iron bars gilt curiously cut according to Church work c. But as they were about this work some Noble-men came thither namely the Duke of Richmond the Marq. of Hertford the Earl of Lindsey and with them Dr. Juxon B. of London who had license from the Parliament to attend the Kings body to his grave Those Gent. therefore Herbert and Mildmay thinking fit to submit and leave the choice of the place of burial to those great persons they in like manner viewed the Tomb-house and the Choir and one of the Lords beating gently upon the Paâ—ement with his staff perceived a hollow sound and thereupon ordering the stones and earth to be removed they discovered a descent into a Vault where two Coffins were laid near one another the one very large of an antique form and the other little These they supposed to be the bodies of K. Hen. 8. and Qu. Jane Seymour his third wife as indeed they were The Velvet Palls that covered their Coffins seemed fresh tho they had laid there above 100 years The Lords agreeing that the Kings body should be in the said Vault inter'd being about the middle of the Choir over against the eleventh stall upon the Soveraigns side they gave order to have the Kings name and year he died cut in lead which whilst the Work-men were about the Lords went out and gave Puddifant the Sexton order to lock the Chappel door and not suffer any to stay therein till farther notice The Sexton did his best to clear the Chappel nevertheless Isaac the Sextons man said that a Foot Soldier had hid himself so as he was not discern'd and being greedy of prey crept into the Vault and cut so much of the Velvet Pall that covered the great body as he judged would hardly be missed and wimbled also a hole thro the said Coffin that was largest probably fancying that there was something well worth his adventure The Sexton at his opening the door espied the sacrilegious person who being searched a bone was found about him with which he said he would haâ—t a knife The Governour being therefore informed of he gave him his reward and the Lords and others present were convinc'd that a real body was in the said great Coffin which some before had scrupled The girdle or circumscription of capital letters of lead put about the Kings Coffin had only these words King Charles 1648. The Kings body was then brought from his Bed-chamber down into S. George's Hall whence after a little stay it was with a slow and solemn pace much sorrow in most faces being then discernable carried by Gentlemen of quality in mourning The Noblemen in mouring also held up the Pall and the Governour with several Gentlemen and Officers and Attendants came after It was then observed that at such time as the Kings body was brought out from S. George's Hall the sky was serene and clear but presently it began to snow and the snow fell so fast that by that time the corps came to the west end of the royal Chappel the black velvet Pall was all white the colour of innocency being thick covered over with snow The Body being by the Bearers set down near the place of burial the Bishop of London stood ready with the Service book in his hands to have performed his last duty to the K. his Master according to the order and form of burial of the Dead set forth in the book of Common Prayer which the Lords likewise desired but would not be suffer'd by Col. Whitchcot the Governour of the Castle by reason of the Directory to which said he he and others were to be conformable Thus went the White King to his grave in the 48 year of his age and 22 year and 10 month of his Reign To let pass Merlins Prophecy which some allude to the White Sattin his Maj. wore when he was crowned in Westm Abbey former Kings having on purple Robes at their Coronation I shall conclude this Narrative with the Kings own excellent expression running thus Crownes and Kingdoms are not so valuable as my honor and reputation Those must have a period with my life but these survive to a glorious kind of immortality when I am dead and gone a good name being the embalming of Princes and a sweet consecrating of them to an eternity of love and gratitude amongst posterity MARTIN LLEWELLIN Lluellyn or Lluelyn so many ways I find him written the seventh son without any daughter between of Mart.

Sir are my instructions The K. took a view of and finding them proper men well mounted and armed smilingly told the Cornet His instructions were in fair characters and legible without spelling The Cornet then pressed the King to go along with him no prejudice being intended but rather satisfaction The King told him he would not stir unless the Commissioners went along with him The Cornet replyed that for his part he was indifferent However the Commissioners in this interim had by an Express acquainted the Parl. with this violence and so soon as they perceived his Majesty was inclinable to go with Joyce and that it was the Kings pleasure they should follow him they knew not whither they immediately made themselves ready And after that they had put several questions to the Cornet whose answers were insignificant and saw full well that reason was of no force to disswade nor menaces to affright they were willing to attend the K. at all adventures This audacious attempt exceedingly troubled the Commissioners and the more for that they knew not how to help it as well appeared by their countenances for indeed it sadned the hearts of many The K. was the merriest in the company having it seems some confidence in the Army especially from some of the greatest there as was imagined The K. being in his coach call'd the Earls of Pembroke and Denbigh as also the L. Mountague into it The other Commissioners members of the H. of Commons being well mounted followed leaving Holdenby languishing for that beautiful and stately structure was in two years after pulled down among other Royal Houses whereby the splendor of the Kingdom was not a little ecclips'd as it since appeared His Majesty following his guide the confident Cornet he went that night to Hinchingbroke where he lodged in the fair mansion house of Col. Edw. Mountague made Earl of Sandwich after the restauration of K Ch. 2. whose Lady was daughter to Joh. Crew Esq then one of the Commissioners and afterwards created a Baron by K. Ch. 2. in which House his Maj. was treated with honour and welcome as were also the Commissioners From Hinchingbrooke the K. went next night to Childerley a house of Sir Joh. Cutts not far from Cambridge to which during his Majesties three days stay many Doctors Graduats and Scholars of that University repaired To most of whom the K. was pleased to give his hand to kiss for which honour they returned their gratulatory and humble thanks with a Vâ—vat Reâ— Thither also came Fairfax the General of the Parl. Army Lieut. Gen. Cromwell Commissary Gen. Hen. Ireton Maj. Gen. Philip Skiâ—pon Lieut. Gen. of the Ordnance Tho. Hammond Col. Joh Lambert Col. Edw. Whalley Col. Rich. Deane Col. Charles Rich and several other Field and Commission Officers some of which as soon as they came into the presence kist his Majesties hand after the General who had began the way These things being done the K. took the General aside in the first place and discours'd with him the General unask'd disavowed his Majesties seizure by Joyce at Holdenby as done without his order and approbation but probably by some other powerful Officer in the Army seeing that Joyce was neither at a Council of War or otherwise called into question for it and by his Letter declared no less to the Parliament Whereupon as 't is farther reported the K. made answer that unless he would hang up Joyce he would not believe him c. From thence he went to Newmarket where he made a considerable stay and thence to Royston where continuing two or three days a certain Envoy from some German Prince whose dead father had been a Companion to the Knights of the most noble Order of the Garter made an Address to his Majesty with a Letter and a return of the George and Garter richly set with Diamonds according to the usual custom and to receive his Majesties direction with whom to be deposited A military Officer Whalley before mention'd afterwards one of the Kings Judges being in the room was so malepert as to interpose and would be privy to what the Envoy had to communicate to the King who by his frown expressing his displeasure at so great rudeness towards him and incivility to a stranger Mr. Babington the Kings Barber instructed the Officer better by a removal which the King was pleased with and the Officer had a reproof from the General for his disrespect to his Majesty Afterwards his Majesty by easie journeys went to Hampton Court where he continued in great splendour near a quarter of an year in which time there were great hopes of an accommodation and conclusion of peace between him and his Parliament but being frighted thence by the endeavours of the Adjutators of the Army at Putney he retired obscurely to the Isle of Wight and how he was violently taken thence and hurried to Hurst Castle you shall hear more anon As for Joyce before mention'd a pragmatical and busie person who had been a godly Taylor in London and perswaded and egg'd on by a godly Minister of that City to take up arms for the righteous Cause had soon after the said audacious act was by him performed his Arrears paid and was made at least a Captain and at length a Colonel But after Oliver had advanc'd himself to the Protectorate and thereupon had cashier'd and imprison'd divers prime Officers who worse than malign'd him for so doing an 1654 this Col. Joyce became a Malecontent at the change and signified so much to Olivers face whom he upbraided with his own service and his faithfulness but escaped any other censure than a bidding him be gone Cromwell well knowing him to be one of those mad men that would say and do any thing they were bid The next that I am to mention who had the degr of M. of A. confer'd on him if he would please to accept of it was Lieut. Colon. Ralph Cobbet an Officer in Col. Faithful Fortescue's Regiment The Reader may be pleased now to observe that the Treaty for Peace at Newport in the Isle of Wight between the Commissioners appointed by Parliament and his Majesty being in a manner concluded insomuch that it was voted by the members thereof that his Majesties answers and concessions were a ground sufficient and satisfactory to both Houses of Parliament to proceed upon in order to a settlement of a peace of the Kingdom the Adjutators of the Army did thereupon conclude that if a Peace was setled the said Army should be disbanded and become useless and therefore they framing Cases and a Remonstrance setting forth their grievances and that the principal Actors of the Kings party in the late War should be proceeded against according to justice his Majesty not being excepted they ordered among themselves that the said Treaty should be broken off and the King's person secured for their own ends thus In the latter end of Nov. 1648 a considerable party of Horse and Foot belonging to
