A88237	A preparative to an hue and cry after Sir Arthur Haslerig, (a late Member of the forcibly dissolved House of Commons, and now the present wicked, bloody, and tyrannicall governor of Newcastle upon Tine) for his severall ways attempting to murder, and by base plots, conspiracies and false witnesse to take away the life of Lieutenant Colonel John Lilburn now prisoner in the Tower of London: as also for his felonious robbing the said Lieut Col. John Lilburn of betwixt 24 and 2500 l. by the meer power of his own will, ... In which action alone, he the said Haslerig hath outstript the Earl of Strafford, in traiterously subverting the fundamentall liberties of England, ... and better and more justly deserves to die therefore, then ever the Earl of Strafford did ... by which tyrannicall actions the said Haslerig is become a polecat, a fox, and a wolf, ... and may and ought to be knockt on the head therefore, ... / All which the said Lieutenant Col. John Lilburn hath cleerly and evidently evinced in his following epistle of the 18 of August 1649, to his uncle George Lilburn Esquire of Sunderland, in the county of Durham.	Lilburne, John, 1614?-1657.	1649 (1649)	Wing L2162; Thomason E573_16; ESTC R12119	55,497	45

and deprive the King of his legall power and to place on Subjects an arbitrary and tyrannicall power 2. That they have endeavoured by many foul aspersions upon his Majesty and his Government to alienate the affections of his people and to make his Majesty odious to them 3. That they have endeavoured to draw his Majesties late Army to disobedience to his Majesties command and to side with them in their trayterous design 4. That they have trayterously invited and incouraged a Forraign Power to invade his Majesties Kingdome of England 5. That they have trayterously endeavoured to subvert the very rights and beings of Parliament 6. That for the compleating of their trayterous designes they have endeavoured as far as in them lay by force and terrour to compell the Parliament to joyn with them in their trayterous designs and to that end have actually raised and countenanced tumults against the King and Parliament 7. That they have trayterously conspired to levy and actually have levied warr against the King And therefore the premisses duly considered Haslerig hath dealt more unjustly more illegal●y and more unrighteously with me then ever the King dealt with him or his Associates and therefore as a Tyrant and a Traitour he ought to die therefore upon his own practised and declared principles But moreover although the King formally and for any thing I know to the contrary Parliamentarily impeached him as a Traitour and yet for all that never sought for or challenged any of his money Lands or Goods untill he were Legally convicted and yet by the Parliament it self it was looked upon for such a violation of the Law because it was not as they pretended formall in every punctilio according to the Law as occasioned the highest Declarations against the King that their pens could invent with aggravation upon aggravation and no personall recantatation from the King himself could serve their ●●rn ●he illustration of which you may notably and fully read in the 2 Edition of my book of the 8 of June 1649 pag. 12. 13. 14. 15. 18. 19. 20. 21. 'till they had made it the first declared occasion to ki●dle the flames of all the ' late eight yeers cruell warres in England yea and for it and such like as it at the conclusion they took off the Kings head as a Tyr●nt ' for that he had set his will above the law ●y which he ought to have governed as appears in the first Article of his impeachment Therefore let Haslerig look to himself for I do b●leeve if he or hi● bloodthirsty associates should murder me yet God out of my ashes would raise up some vigorously to endeavour to bring h●s neck to the gallows or his head to the block for his Tyrannies and A●bitrary dealing with me and for my part so long as I have bre●th by the gracious assistance of God I shall not bate him an●●ce although I perish in the prosecution of him let him and all his associates do the worst they dare or can And therefore Sir I most earnestly beg of you to intreat my Father to pluck up so much courage as truly and exactly to state the present condition of my businesse with Haslerig and send me an exact Narrative of it from the beginning of Haslerig 's medling with it and also I intreat you your self to certifie me if you dare under your hand the manner and particulars of all his arbitrary dealings with your particular self and your Committees c. And whether that he himself were not the absolute and single Instrument that caused you and my Father for your publike and known good affection to the Common-wealth and nothing else to be turned out of the Commission of the Peace c. And when he had so done whether he alone by his meer Will and Prerogative did not name Master Henry Draper and caused him to be made a Justice of the Peace c. although as I am credibly and certainly informed he was a notable Cavalier and had a Commission from the Earle of Newcastle and not three months before HASLERIG 's making him a Justice of Peace he had paid part of his Composition to HASLERIG 's own particular hands or his Treasurer by his order and appointment And whether he did not also lately name and by his Prerogative will put in Sir Richard B●ll●s for another Justice of Peace for your County who to my own knowledge was about my last being in your County found and proved a Delinquent Sir Arthur himselfe being one of his chiefest Prosecutors and stands sequestred as a Delinquent Cavalier to this day And whether he did not lately the same to Sir George Vane who you may remember at the Committee betwixt you and John Blaston and his Cavalier brother in Law Mr. Shadforth where Sir Arthur at Westminster in Febr. last sate Chairman I offered before Sir Arthurs face and all the rest of his fellow Members to prove Sir Georg● Vane a Cavalier and to have been actually in Arms with the King at Edge hill and also opened to Haslerig 's face and the whole Committees Haslerig 's base and partiall dealings in the North in contradicting the Orders of your Committe of Sequestration and racing out of their Orders what he pleased in the case of Shadforth and your self and putting in what he pleased yea and against the Order and mind of the Committee would have i● in his pa●ticular Order to passe for your and Shadforths drawing stakes to the great intentionall cheating and cozening of the Common wealth after Shadforth was fully proved a Delinquent upon the 14. Articles and to save himself had impeached you who desired nothing but a fair and judiciall triall to be another of which false Charge since as I understand for all Haslerig 's and John Blastons power and malice The present Jancto hath fully 〈◊〉 you which Shadforth by his meere will as I understand he hath since made a justic● of peace c. as also Colonell Francis Wren who he himself knowes was most basely and vildly in the head of his Regiment in Scotland cashiered by his friend Cromwell for a desperate plunderer c. And all th●s he hath done as to me clearly appears that he may rule and govern you by his will and pleasure and have none in power that shall dare to controul him or to tell tales of him of which rather then he will faile hee will against his owne declared Principles and the ' Ordinances of Lords and Commons yea the acts of the present Juncto make use of the notablest Cavaliers amongst you to be your principall governours and more especiall Rulers and yet lately would have hanged me for but appearing corresponding with the Princes Agents of wh●ch he was so zealous to take away my life for that rather then he would fail he c. attempted to bribe and hire false witnesse to swear against me declaring bare correspondency with the Prince his Agents to be crime enough to take away
