Behold a Cry Or a TRUE RELATION OF THE Inhumane and Violent OUTRAGES of divers Souldiers Constables and others practised upon many of the Lord's People commonly though falsly called Anabaptists at their several Meetings in and about London Together With the Violence offered some of them in Newgate where they are now Prisoners by the Fellons in the same place The Earth was filled with Violence Gen. 6.11 The Lord loveth the Righteous but the Wicked and him that loveth Violence his Soul hateth Psal 11.5 As a roaring Lion and a ranging Bear so is a wicked Ruler over the people Prov. 28.15 The Prince that wanteth understanding is also a great Oppressour Prov. 28.16 A man that doth Violence to the Blood of any person shall flee to the Pit let no man stay him Prov. 28.17 London Printed in the Year 1662. Behold a Cry OR A true RELATION of the Inhumane and Violent Outrages of divers Souldiers Constables and others practised upon many of the Lord's People commonly though falsly called Anabaptists at their several Meetings in and about London c. THe sundry and divers Abuses that hath been offered time after time to the free-born People of England contrary to Magna Charta and the Petition of Right and all the known Laws of the Land the Declaration and Proclamation of the King that now is we cannot suppose the Nation wholly ignorant of but how inhumanly they have been used and with what violence Souldiers and others have proceeded in several places where they have in the fear of the Lord been assembled their usual manner being to come with Souldiers which commonly were most of them rude Youths or Mercinary men of the ruder and viler sort and they with their Muskets and some with their Swords drawn to the affrighting of Women and Children breaking and spoyling of their Goods doing violence to their persons by pulling halling and beating some of them the which they may not understand Now that all both Magistrates and People may be rightly informed the mouth of Falshood and Scandal stoped and such Abuses redressed we shall in particular give a brief hint of some of them as followeth In June 1661. there came divers rude Souldiers Wicked Swearing and Debauched persons to the Meeting-house in Brick-Lane near White-Chappel and laid hands on several men to the number of more than twenty who in a peaceable manner demanded of them their Warrant for their so doing but they would not shew them any which one William Caswel seeing he said or to this purpose That if they had a Warrant he would obey it but if they had none they should carry him for he would not go With that they beat him with their Hangers about the Head and pulled him along by force and sometime taking him up between three or four of them and then leting him fall with violence into the Dirt pulling by great force his Stomack and Breast against the Railes insomuch that with blowes and falls he is deprived of health to this day And when because the King in his Proclamation bearing date January 17. 1660. declared That if any should be so hardy as to seize the Persons of any without Warrant c. that then they should be left open to the Law to be proceeded against and receive according to their Demerit there was several of the Actors of this Tragedy arrested and Sute being according to Law commenced against them and the persons abused intending to go on they were suddenly surprised and prevented by John Robinson who granted a Warrant to seize the Body of Thomas Hull and the above said William Caswel the said Thomas Hull being taken in the street by virtue of the aforesaid Warrant and carried before John Robinson who in a fury demanded how he durst arrest his Souldiers and would not take baile but sent him to Newgate and one with him who only came along with his Friend the said Thomas Hull and desired to baile him Where they both lay about ten or twelve dayes before they could be bailed and were held bound from Sessions to Sessions for a long time after before they could be discharged So little was the Kings Proclamation regarded by John Robinson Secondly on the 20th of October 1661. there came a parcel of the aforesaid rude Souldiers to the Meeting at Brick-Lane and took away one that was then Preaching Some there desired them to shew their Warrant for their so doing one Lieutennant Wilton shewed his Commission as he was an Officer which being read he said that was sufficient one answering said that was not sufficient he ought to have a particular Warrant with the name of the Person seized expressed in it and under the Hand and Seal of some one Justice or more one Ensigne Spike answered If that were not sufficient it was sufficient Sir John Robinson as he called him bad them by word of mouth do what they did to which was answered That a verbal Order from him or any other Justice else was not according to Law in such a Case neither did the Law intitle them to be Executioners of it but if they had a Warrant as they had none it ought to be directed to some Peace-Officer and not to them yet notwithstanding they carried him away to the Tower before John Robinson who sent him to Newgate pretending and inserting great matters in his Mittimus where he lay thirty Weeks without any thing laid to his Charge and then they released him Thirdly on the third day of November 1661. they came again in the like manner to the aforesaid place in as rude a manner as before and with as little a shew or face of Law they seized him that was preaching as one was at that time and when they had taken him down they took away three more two of which were sitting at the Table whom they carried before John Robinson who committed them all to New-Prison inserting in their Mittimus things of an high nature as their speaking of treasonable Words and the like who when some questioned the Legallity of their seizure he John Robinson replyed with some Indignation That he sent them to do what they did as if his Verbal Command were sufficient to justifie their illegal Proceedings And at Sessions following there was one of them removed in time of Sessions only by John Robinsons Warrant from New-Prison to New-gate in order as he said to his Tryal which he could never attain to have nor any thing laid to his charge though he often called for it in the face of the Court but had no notice taken of him nor never returned in the Callender yet was he kept in Newgate twelve weeks unjustly till he was fetched out by a Person in authority He suffered in all near 18 Weeks Imprisonment and the rest of his Fellows suffered 28 Weeks Imprisonment and then were released nothing being laid to their Charge Fourthly the 25 of May 1662. at a Meeting in Shacksbies-Walk near Wapping Wall where
