G. Cromwel Commissary General Ireton and others of that Faction in the Army tending to the utter ruine and inslaving of the English Nation and by other late printed Papers of their own Friends the Agitators in the Army and City who charge the Head of that Faction Cromwel cryed up for the holiest Saint on earth without the least dissimulation guile or falshood with these remarkable treasonable Hypocrisies and Contradictions detestable both to God and Men 1. With making many solemn and deep Protestations in the House of Commons in the presence of Almighty God upon his faith and honor that the Army should really disband when â—ver the House should give but the least order or intimation And yet at the same time giving secret order and directions to his Creatures in the Army not to disband upon any terms but to keep together and march up to London to force the Housâ—â— and City and compel them by fear to comply with all his unjust desires and designs 2. With plotting and ordering in his own Lodgings at a great meeting there on Monday night before Whitsonday last the securing of the Garrison Magazine and Train of Artillery at Oxford seising the Kings own person at Holdenby and removing him thence into the Army and giving order to Cornet Iâ—yce with is much speed and seâ—recy as might be to effect it which he accordingly did by his special direction and yet like a subtil Fox proteâ—ted to the Housâ— the King and others that it was done both without his Knowledg and approbation 3. With impeaching the XI Members and pressing theirs and oâ—hers suspentâ—on from the House before any charge or proof of guilt contrary to all Law all rules of Iustice and the Houses Votes only to strengthen his own Faction in the House though he knew and acknowledged them to be innocent of the Crimes pretended in private and yet exhibiting and printing a most false and scandalous Charge against them to wound their reputations in publick by charging them with such crimes of which he knew himself more guilty then they 4 With charging the wel-affecting Lords and Commons who continued sitting and acting in the Houses when the Speakers and some Members under pretext of a force past and ended some two or three days before their departing thence by his Solications and Menaces treacherously withdrew themselves from the Houses to the Army and the Militia Common Councel and Citizens of London for providing only for their own self-defence by Votes and Ordinances of both Houses with no less then Treason in levying a New War against the King Parliament and Kingdom When as he and his Confederates only were truly guilty of it both in seising upon the Kings own person and rescuâ—ng him from the Commissioners of both Houses by a strong party of the Army in causing the whole Army to march up to London in a warlike and assailing posture against the Houses express Orders and forcing them to repeal their Votes Ordinances and yeeld up their Members to their fury and after that in marching up with the Army it self to the Houses doors and City in triumph against the Houses express Letters and Orders with the fugitive Members whom they engaged to live and dye with them in that quarrel and in possessing themselves of all the Works and Forts about Westminster and of the Tower of London removing the City Guards and setting new of their own upon the Hâ—uses marching through the City with their whole Army like Conquerors and then throwing down their Line and Forts fiâ—st raised for the Houses defence in a most scornful manner and beleâ—guring the disâ—rmed King City and Houses ever since with the whole body of the Army which they have doubly recâ—uited to the peoples infinite oppression to captivate them all to their tyrannical pleasures Which is a treasonable levying of War and High Treason in good earnest uncapable of excuse transcending that of the impeached Members and Citâ—zens 5. With forcing the Houses to pass an Ordinance on the 20. of August last for declaring all Votes Orders and Ordinances passed in one or both Houses since the force on both Houses Iuly the 26. until the 6. of August to be null and voyd by reason of a force upon the House of Commons by a company of unarmed boys and apprenticeâ— only on Iuly 26. towards the Evening who vanished that night and never appeared after notwithstanding the Speaker and Commons House met and sate the very nâ—xt morning without any disturbance met securely aâ— the Fâ—st the nâ—xâ— day in Margarets Church where the Speaker protested against the honor of his going to the Army under pretext of this forcâ— as a most dishonorable and unworthy act which he would rather dye in the House then be guilty of to Sir Ralph Ashton and otherâ— and the Friday following most of the Membâ—rs met elected a new Speaker and voted and sate without the least violence or disturbâ—nce from the City til the sixth of August and passed all Votes Oâ—ders and Ordinances freely without any colour of force upon which grounds this Ordinance of repeal after long debate was by the major voyce of the Commons House passed four or five times in the Negative and layd aside and so ought not by the Rules of Parliament or Justicâ— to be revived And yet he and his Confederates enforce the Houses to pass this repealing Ordinance upon a meet pretence of force by a fâ—r greater armed force and violence then that of the Apprentices which they made the only ground of this Ordinance of nullity and repeal enforced to pass against the haire in this manner First by a Treasonable Remonstrance from his Evcellency Sir Thomas Fairfax and the Army under his command sent to the Houses from the Head-quarters at Kingston August 19. but dated the 18. in which p. 18. they take notice of the Commons carrying

it in the Negative against this Nulling Ordinance and thereupon used such high and treasonable Menaces and Expressions against the Members continuing in it during the Speakers absence as no age nor persons ever heard or read the like threatning to take them as prisoners of War and try them by Martial Law inhibiting them or any of them to intrude themselves to sit in Parliament til they had cleared themselves from giving their assent to any of the Votes Orders or Ordinances past in the Speakers absence and to take speedy and effectual courses to restrain them from being their own theirs and the Kingdoms Iudges and to bring them to condign punishment Secondly they put double Guards the next day upon both Houses who openly threatned at the Doors to pull out all the Members by head and shoulders that sate and voted in the Speakers absence if they presumed to intrude themselves or but enter into the House Whereupon more Members by fear refrâ—ined the House and went presently out of London then those who fled to the Army Thirdly all the Officers that were Members came that morning from the Army into the House where Cromwel and they made very high and menacing speechâ—s which daâ—nted many Fourthly Colonel Desborough came with a party of 1000 Horse drawn up in a body to Hidepark-Corner threatning to force both the Houses and Members if this Ordinance passed not And by this Treasonable force â—ractise and Declaration was this nullifying Ordinance against a thousand-fold less force forced to pass the House when thin â—nd empty by head and shoulders against the Rules and Freedom of Parliaments through a thin House of Commons whâ—n most of the Members were kept and driven away forcibly from it by the whole Army and their Guards And to evidence to all the world posterity that this Ordinance was wrested from the Houses by meer violence it was even then by Special Order of the Houses printed and published with that Treasonable thundering Declaration against the House and Members which procured it dated the 18 sent the 19 of August and read that day and the next in the Houses and the same day being the 20th compelled the House to pass it Which Ordinance declaring all Votes Orders and Ordinances of one or both Houses to be null and voyd if procured by force being thus more forcibly procured then any it repeâ—lled must needs be Felo de se and declare it self to be more voyd and null then they which being for the most part made when the Houses were free by a unanimous Vote without any division of the Houses will remain firm and valid notwithstanding this new forcâ—d Ordinance promoted and carried on â—il i passed with greater force then any it repeals Besides these detestable Machivilian and Hipocritical practises of Cromwel and his Confederatâ—s be pleased to consider only of three or four more which wil manifest them the greatest Machivillists and Hipocrites under heaven never to be credited or confided in hereafter 1. The first is his gulling and deluding his own Confederates and Creatures the busie Agitators imployed by him to mutiny the Army into publike Rebellion who underwent the greatest adventure with the hazard of their necks to accomplish his designs upon the King Parliament and City who having served his turn he now most ungâ—atefully casheers and endeavours to suppress â—postatizing from his first principles and pretences of seeking the Kingdoms welfare and peoples Freedom to advance himself his kindered and allies though with the Kingdoms and Agitators ruin playing the meer Jugler and Hocus-Pocus with them as their Advocates Lilburn Henry Martin Scot and Rainsborough complain most bitterly and others of their Fraternity in sundry of their Pasquills 2. The 2d is his and his Confedâ—rates treachery and villany towards the Lord Mayor Alderâ—en and imprisoned Citizens of London to whom though they promised all fair quarter indempnity and security of their first approaches to and match through the City in triumph yet soon after they cause them suddenly to be impeached of high Treason committed to the Tower and other prisons expell the Recorder without any legal proof or hearing from a sudden Report from a packed Committee of those who engaged with the Army out of the House and send him to the Tower to accompany the Mayor and Aldermen where they yet detain them prisoners without any further prosecution and all this to bring in an Independent Lord Mayor Aldermen and others of their own Fâ—ction into their plâ—ces and keep them from acting in the City and being chosen into publike Offices In pursuance of which design he and they have endeavoured and lately threatned to bring up the Army to quarter in the City this Winter under pretext of levying Arrears but in truth to bring in what Common-Councel-men and other Officers they pleased of their own Faction upon the New Elections and make Allen and Eâ—â—wick Aldermen That being prevented of this design Mr Speaker must discover a New Plot to seize upon the Tower by a company of horse and foot who must drop out of the clouds the Houses too to bring up the Army to guard them til the new elections be past But this not taking and proving as false as he that discovered it there upon a new Ordinance must be suddainly drawn up and passed in a moment before any notice of it to deprive the City and Citizens of their free elections of their City Officers and Common Councell men and make many of the best affected among them who had any hand in the Cities Engagement c. uncapable to be elected themselves or give any voyce in the election of others to exclude the Presbyterians and Anti-Sectarists and bring in a New Independent recruit of Cromwels and the Armies Confederates to undo and betray the City Parliament and Kingdom and enthrall them to their bondage which their Confederacies Engagements and Treasons against the King Houses City and Kingdom must make them capable of all Offices and Preferments and disable them from none 3. The 3d is his and his Confederates in the Armies damnâ—ble Hypocrisie and Dissimulation both towards the Houses City and Country and â—eer cheâ—ting them of their money â—nd free quarter At first he and thâ—y pretended that if the Houses and City advanced but so many moneths pay for the Souldiers they should all presently disband and not trouble the Country more with Free quarter or Taxes and that they would pay their quarters out of it Whereupon the pay desired was sent and received and yet never a Souldier disbanded but new recruits even of Cavaleers against the Parliament entertained without the Houses Order nay against it and no quarters at all discharged Since which upon sundry complaints of the Countries oppression by free quarter they have four or five several times at least upon receipt of so many weeks pay set down faithfully engaged to disbâ—nd their supernumerâ—ry Forces lessen the Army and pay their quarters yet

no sooner is the money desired received but they refuse to do either and grow more high and insolent in their demands then ever and more oppressive to the Country At the last general Râ—ndâ—zvouz they made the like promise of disbanding and paying quarters upon the recipt of forty thousand pounds which with much difficulty was procured and sent though the Forces in Ireland in great want and aâ—â—â—uall hard service against the Rebels are like to perish for want of pay while these Idle droans devour all the money the Houses can rake up by any means and thereupon some supernumerary Forces and Recruits were actually disbanded and word sent of it to the House but within a day or two they were all agâ—in entertained and others to boot by Ordâ—r from the General and Councell of War coâ—rary to their Eâ—gagement and the Houses Order and not one penny payd the Country for â—â—ee quarterâ— and within two or three days after a new Represâ—ntation ful of Arrogancy and Insufferable language must be sent to the Houses wherein they demand the sixty thousand pounds monethly tax to be augmented to one hundred thousand justify their not disbaâ—ding the supernumeraries augmented by them now to such a number that the whole Kingdom can neither pay nor quâ—rter them without ruin And now they make demâ—nds of new sums and then thâ—y wil obey the Houses Orders just as they did before and thus they cheat the Parliament City and Country of their money and free quarter too and though they pretend themselves no Mercenary people but publike spirited Saints who regard no pay but higher ends yet they stick not impudently to press the Houses over and over against their Votes and vote it in their Councel of War in opposition to all the Houses That all Deans and Chapters Lands Forrest-Lands the remainder of Bishops Lands shâ—l be sold the fines of the Impeached Citâ—zens and Lords whose only Treason is that they are Rich and Faithful to their Country and opposite to their real Treasons and the third paâ—t of all Delinquents of the Excâ—se too in course designed for payment of their pretended Arrears since their refusal to disbâ—nd and yet must have one hundered thousand pounds a moneth levyed on the Kingdom besides for present pay to maintain them in their mutinies and Rebellions and ruin the Parliament King Kingdom and dying Ireland 4.
