the Souldiers of some of their pay and Sir Arthur was certified as much who thereupon sent for Dobson and confin'd him till he had given 500 pound bond with other Bayle to answer it before a Councell of Warre which he did and upon the examination it appear'd that not above thirty pound of the Souldiers mony remained in his hands asumme far short of 1350 pound But I am affraid greater matters then these would be discovered should we peruse the story of Lilburne and examine the Records of Tinmouth Castle 5. That the said Sir Arthur Hasletigge gave Commission to Edward Brigs to be Lieutenant Collonel for Carlile Garrison and made him a Commissioner for the Militia and Ministry in Westmerland a man known dis-affected to the present Government and lately cashiered for his drunkennesse and other miscarriages by the now Lord Generall Cromwell That the said Sir Arthur gave Commissions to Thomas Craystour Cuthbert Studholme Captain Brown and others to be Captains and Lieutenants in Carlile Garrison men known to be disaffected to the present Government profess Enemies to honest men most of them having now laid down their Commissions when they were to march into Scotland And the said Sir Arthur doth countenance none in Cumberland but such as are profest Enemies to the honest party and are for the Scottish Interest John Musgrave it seems upon some occasion is not well-affected to Lieutenant Coll Brigs and therefore would have us think that Lieutenant Coll. Brigs is dis-affected to the State when the antecendent in any rationall mans opinion doth inferr the contrary Casheerd he might be upon some mis-information and both the Generall and he abused But however suppose the Accuser can speak truth Sir Arthur cannot warrant every ones fidelity knowes not the hearts of men and what t is possible they may be afterwards as this Accuser pretends to doe who peremptorily be stowes his charracter upon all he meers Those Gentlemen who layd downe their Commissions when they were to March into Scotland did it not out of any dis-affection to the present Government but upon some naturall Imperfection and infirmity of Body unable to endure those many extremities in Scotland which the strongest Complexions and best temper'd men had much adoe to overcome and t was an act of singular affection to the Common-wealth in the late Lord Generall to lay down his Commission upon such considerations whose heart as theirs too no doubt went into Scotland though their bodies did not which would have been but cumbersome not advantagious to the service 6. That by the said Sor Arthur Haslerigg's intrusting the Authorities and Militia in the hands of Delinquents and men for the Scottish Interest the well-affected in Cumberland and Bishopriek lye under greater oppressions then formerly under King and Prelats And the said Sir Arthur is a protector of Papists and Delinquents forbidding the Subsequestrators and Sollicitours for Sequestration in Bishoprick to Sequester Papists Ordered to be Sequestred of which the Papists and Delinquents doe much boast and honest men thereby are much cast down Here the Accuser railes at eleven-score and inveighs that by Delinquent's pretended authorities the well-affected in Cumberland that is he and his whining crew and Bishoprick George and Richard Lilburns suffer more then under King and Prelates which is he is not suffered to raile himselfe into an estate nor they permitted to oppresse others our of their estates But that Sir Arthur should be a protector of Papists and Delinquents is a scandall Papists themselves would sweare to be a lye and the most notorious Delinquent will absolve him from Sure the fellow intends to erect a new kind of Academy and maintain Paradoxes Were he of any Religion I should take him to be a Papist and that he pretends to Infallibility For else with what confidence could he hope the most incredulous Solifidians would assent to these impudent untruths He might as well have said my Lord President was dis-affected to the present Government and the Generall complyed with the Scotch Interest that John Musgrave is an honest man hath no gall is a Dove meek patient Prayes for his Enemies and is in Charity with all men Sir Arthur indeed at first commenced his authority with a severe hand such as was wisedome to treat Delinquents with but after sweetned his justice with some mercy the method of all such who seek not game in humane bloud for which perhaps the ingenuity of some render him the homage of good language an argument of their gratitude and conversion too 7. That Sir Arthur Haslerigge hinders and obstrusts the ordinary proceeding of Law and Justice in favour of Papists and did take 〈◊〉 of the Sheriffess custody Ralph Lampton a notorious Papist and Delinquent being under arrest and formerly arraigned for poysoning his Wife with which Lampton the said Sir Arthur is very kinde and familiar The Accuser now is advane't into Bishoprick and both the Scene and Actours changed For this Article concerns Mr. George Lilburn as will appear by Mr. Lampton who now it seems must enter Mr. Ralph Lampton being under Sequestration much opprest by Mr. George Lilburne and not onely he but the State likely to be cheated of 3000 l. estate of the said Mr Lamptons did in behalfe of himselfe and twelve children miserably distrest for want humbly Petition Sir Arthur Haslerigge and the rest of the Committee of Sequestration against Mr. George Lilburne and one Gray his Mate whereby he manifested that the said Lampton being a joynt sharer with George Grey and George Lilburne in a Colliety called Lampton Colliery and having disburst great summes of money for the winning thereof Grey and Lilburne taking advantage of his Recusancy and Delinquency endeavoured to defraud him of his Interest therein and when Mr. Lampton upon order came to prosecute and attest his Petit on Lilburne and Grey barbarously procured him to be Arrested Sir Arthur having notice of this injustice caused the Sheriffe to set him at liberty This is all the grand partiallity the Accuser here pursues with open mouth and Mr. Lampton desirs of Sir Arthur no other favour then what the justnesse of his cause shall deserve and a fist part for his Children of that which he shall make appear Grey and Lilburne have in their hands and that the State may redeem the rest For his being Indicted for poysoning his Wife if any such thing were he has undergone the Law for it as George Lilburne did when he was Arraign'd for stealing a Grey Mare Loripodem rectus derideav 8. That the said Sir Arthur Haslerigge procured Ralph Delivall Esquire a Delinquent in arms against the Parliament and dis-affected to the present Government this last yeare to be high Sheriffe for Northumberland This is a most lamentable infirme cobweb Item and only charges Sir Arthur with Mr. Dalavells Sheriffalry when t is the Judges that after the Circuit present the names of three Gentlemen and the Parliament pricks him whom they think most worthy

pay M. Wrayes debts is as ridiculous as to thinke M. Lilburne will discharge them with the Gold be plundred from him 11. That the said Sir Arthur Haslerigge doth comply with and countenance Collonell John Hilton a Delinquent in armes both in the first and second War and assists the said Hilton to defraud the poore in sundry Parishes in Bishoprick or great legacies given by the said Hiltons Elder Brother In this is involv'd another grand cheat of M. George Lilburnes against the State of 300 1. per annum viz. The mannor of Ford in Bishopricke which mannor M. Lilburne himselfe caused to be Sequestred for the Delinquency of Collonell Hilton and converted the Profits to his own use and all this while not a word of any Testament or Legacy But after when he saw himselfe questioned for this and other tricks and fear'd he should disgorge some of the thousands he had swallowed he contrived himselfe a dextrous escape by rowsing a Dormant Will of Baronett Hilton made upon some discontents between him and his Brother under pretence of charity to severall Parishes where by he was to merit pardon for 30 yeares vicious life led with the Lady Shelly Pious M. Lilburne prosecuted the s uite in Chancery at his own charge and had a Decree thereupon which the Councell of State may happily retrieve and examine better the depredation of so considerable a Composition Thus we see how charitable master Lilburne is with other mens Estates how finely he robs the State to enrich the poore and had rather build Hospitals them pay his debts 12. That Sir Arthur Haslerigge brought Collonell Hacker into the Country who contrary to an Act of Parliament Quarters his Souldiers and others under the name of Souldiers who are none upon the well-affected in Bishoprick and would but pay what they pleased and in some places nothing but upon complains Collonell Hacker gave the people no reliefe but threatned them to have them before Sir Arthur Haslerigge for complaining afterwards Captain Thomas Lilburne brought the matter in question before a Councell of Warre an whitehall but by Sir Arthurs power it could nover be fully heard which if it had there would have appeared many thousand pounds kept wrongfully from the Souldiers besides the great oppression of free-quarter some Examinations whereof were taken by master Margets which Sir Arthur Haslerigge keeps hitherto from Reading and the said Sir Arthur sore threatned the said Captain for appearing for the Soul-diery and Country against him and Collonell Hacker Sir Arthur was the cause t is probable of Collonell Hackers advance into these parts considering how behovefull and necessary the attendance of that gallant Collonell would be for the security of these Northern Counties where the malignant Party had been so active and were still so numerous But straight master George Lilbourne thinks himselfe opposed in the businesse falls presently to disgust the Collonell and conjures his son Thomas the Captain to assist him with some designe againsthim Deare Tom. layes the scene with some of Collonell Hackers Souldiers betrayes them to some misdemeanors and perswades them not to pay in manv places These incivilities make up a charge against Collonell Hacker and one master Margets came busling into the Country by order from the Lord Generall as he pretended but falsely to examine it All things being prepared and the day come Geo kich and Tho Lilburnes face the busiesse Collonell Hacker attended also to receive his charge but Margets tould him he must stay for it and both he and his Souldiers immediately leave the Towne Hereupon the Gollonell complains to the Generall who sends an order to examine Margets which was done accordingly and this truth discovered and certified This is all concerns that worthy Collonell whom none but Lilburne and Mosse-troopers disaffect 13. That the said Sir Arthur Haslerigge to dissable master George Lilburne to serve his country and the more to discourage the well-affected in Bishoptick caused him to be put out of the Commission of Peace ministery and militia and much endeavoureth to Sequester the said master George Lilburne who hath commonly been reputed the most active stirring and suffering man for the good of this nations both before the Parleament began and since of any that hath been or is in the Country This is the Grand signeour Article to which the former were but Ushers and all the rest a guard and convoy This is the master waspe yet quite without a sting T was the discharging of master George Lilburne from his shriving employments that derived a g●●●● upon all Sir Arthur's other actions But since that active stirring suffering Gentleman affects Encomiums loves to be popular and shew himselfe let him surrender up those borrowed Plumes and weare this Charecter and second Livery For his first rise was little better then from the Cloake and Trencher and of late yeares an ordinary Fitter was his greatest Title But since he scrued himslfe into the Committee for Sequestrations by letting Sequestrations to himselfe in others names for small values and bying Plundred Goods at under Rates he has purchased many thousands and now endures the burden of being very Rich and suffers the misery of a Vast Estate Quid esse nostro fortius potest Pato Ducentiens accepit tamen vivit In the Earle of Newcastles time he signed and sent out Warrants for raising men and horse for the service of the late King and when that Earle was in the North he sent out men and arms to his assistance and this is called his good affection He was so Imperious in his Sequestratorship and so shamefully over-awed the rest of the Commissioners that most of them were abused out of their stations and M. George Lilburne was left a petty monarch attended onely with his brother Richard such anothere haughty spirit as himselfe and one Tom Turke alias Coll Midford a creature of their own stamp who durst not dispease them lest they should question him for a murder he committed upon one Mr. Grosier in Newcastle upon Time The well-affected are so far from being discouraged at dispacing of him that they all deprecate his Tyranny next the Pestilence incert it in their Liturgie and prefix it to their Libera nos Domine 14. That Sir Arthur Haslerigge hath dispaced all the well-affected men in Bishoprick that were of the Committee for Sequestations there and put in their stead one Thomas Haslerigge his Kinsman and a stranger and doth continue one Collonell Francis Wren who in the head of his Regiment upon his first march into Scotland was disgracefully and justly cashiered by the now Lord General Cromwell for Plundring and other grosse and foule misde-meanours and one Thomas Dalavall an arch Malignant and dis-affected to the present Government who lived in the Enemies Quarters all the time the Earle of Newcastle had his Forces there What the displaced were the Accuser may see if he but face about and who these present Commissioners are he shall quickly
