A88208	The just mans justification: or A letter by way of plea in barre; written by L. Col. John Lilburne. to the Honrble Justice Reeves, one of the justices of the Common-wealths courts, commonly called Common Pleas wherein the sinister and indirect practises of Col. Edward King against L. Col. Lilburne, are discovered. 1. In getting him cast into prison for maxy [sic] weekes together, without prosecuting any charge against him. 2. In arresting him upon a groundlesse action of two thousand pound in the Court of Common Pleas; thereby to evade and take off L. C. Lilburns testimony to the charge of high treason given in against Col. King, and now depending before the Honourable House of Commons hereunto annexed. In which letter is fully asserted and proved that this cause is only tryable in Parliament, and not in any subordinate court of justice whatsoever.	Lilburne, John, 1614?-1657.	1647 (1647)	Wing L2126; Thomason E407_26; ESTC R202758	35,413	28

were not a private store house for powder and he told me none at all then we began to reckon how many barrels were gone out since he assured Maior Frankling and my selfe that he had a 100. in store and all that both the Magazine Keeper and my selfe could reckon with those 10. in his hands and all he had since that day delivered out was as I remember ●4 or 26. Whereupon I went to Alderman T●lsons and asked him whether the Maior himselfe and the rest of his brethren had not a private Magazine and he told me no but asked me wherefore I demanded such a question of him whereupon I told him all the story at which he stood amazed and from him I went to Col. Kings wife and desired to know of of her whether she knew of any private Magazine of powder that her husband had and she told me no. Then I told her all the businesse and said to her that I wondered her Husband should assure Maior Frankl●ng and my selfe that he had 100. barrels of powder when he had but 28. and that he should send for all that he had left out of the Garrison assuring her that if the ten barrels he had sent for should be sent him we should not have one left in the Magazine to defend the Towne with being then in expectation of the Enemy to assault us I told her for my part I could not pick out the English of it which I desired the Earle of Manchester seriously to consider of who seemed then to be very much affected with it And I being by the Generall sent post to London to the Committee of both Kingdomes about his marching to take Lincolne againe and from thence to march to Yorke to joyne with the Scots I in the third place ceased not to put that which lay upon me as a duty forwards as soon as an opportunity served and renewed my complaint aga●nst him at Lincolne and desired it might receive a faire hearing before the Generall and a Counsell of Warre and Mr Archer and others of the Committee of Lincolne drew up a very hainous charge against King and laboured hard for a tryall and in the third place the Major and Aldermen and Town Clerke of Boston came to Lincolne with their Articles against him which were home enough and to my knowledge pressed Leiu Generall Crumwell to use all his interest in my Lord that they might be admitted to make them good before him and a Counsell of Warre but wee could not all prevaile the reason of which I am not able to render unlesse it were that his two Chaplins Lee and Garter prevailed with the Earles two Cha●lins Me Ash and Good to cast a Scotch-clergy mist over their Lords eyes that he should not be able to see any deformity in Colonell King but this I dare confi●ently say if there we had had faire play and justice impertially King had as surely dyed as ever Malifactor in England did and to use the words once again of his own bosome friend and Counseller Mr. Prinne in page the 6 of the fore cited book If the late Baron of Graystock who was a Lord and one of the Peares of the Realme and had taken upon him safety to keep to the aforesaid Granfather King of England the Town of Barwick The said Barron perceiving afterward that the said Granfather addressed himselfe to ride into France the said Barron without command of the said Granfather committed the said Barwick to a valiant Esquire Robert Deogle a Leiv to the said Barron for to keep safe the own of Barwic to the said Grandfather and the said went as an horse man to the said parts of France to the said Granfather and there remained in his company During which time an assault of war was made upon the said Town of Barwick by the said Scots and the said Robert as Leiv to the said Barron valiently defended the same and at last by such forceable assaults the said Town was taken upon the said Robert and two of the sons of the said Robert slain in the defence of the same notwithstanding that the said Barron himselfe had taken upon him the safeguard of the said Town to the said Granfather and departed without command of the said Granfather and the said Town of Barwick lost in the absence of the said Barron he being in the company of the said Granfather in the parts of France as aforesaid It was adjudged in Parliament before his Peares that the said Town was lost in default of the said Barron and for this cause he had judgement of life and member and that he should forfeit all that he had I say if this Lord deserved to dye who left a deputy so manfully to defend the Town also was himself with the King in the service much more C. King meerly in reference to Crowland singly who being Governer thereof and having placed Captain Cony therein as his Deputy with a company of men sent for him in a bravado humour to Newarke when he had no urgent necessity for him unlesse it were that the world might see the bravery of his Regiment which by his argumentation amounted to about 1400 when Cap. Cony certified him that the Towne being generally Malignant c. would be in great danger by the Beaverkers of being lost if he should come away yet notwithstanding King sent to him againe and did command him away and put in a guard of slender and unsafe men which presaged a losse of it to the Committee residing in Holland upon which they acquainted Commissary Generall Ireton then Deputy Governour of the I le of Ely and earnestly intreated him to send a strong guard to preserve and keepe it and he accordingly sent as I remember Captain Vnderwood a stout man with about 100. Souldiers c. of which when King heard he was exceeding mad and did write a most imperious bitter Letter yet as I beleeve in the hands of Commissary Generall Ireton to command them out of his jurisdiction whereupon they were necessitated to depart and leave Crowland to his own slender and treacherous guard by meanes of which within a little while after the Enemy had advantage to surprize that Town without opposition or difficulty and did it So that to speake in the words of the Articles remaining in Parliament against him he betrayed that Town which was not regained without much hazzard and losse the expence of a great deale of treasure and many mens lives the blood of all which lies upon his head for the losse of which alone besides his treachery both to the State universall and representative he ought to dye without mercy by the Morall and undispensable Law of God made long before that ever the Jewes were a Nation or had any cerimoniall Law given unto them which law is expressed in Gen. 9.5 6 where God spaking to Noah and his sons saith thus And surely your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of
