God befaln yon for your persideous breaking of the Covenant which might justly provoke God thus to divert your Counsell and affairs for having been so eminent an actor and Author of mischief against this Nation You abandoned the Covenant and despised the Oath of God and did invade your native Country and with most inhumane barbarous cruelty did wast and burn divers parts of it and have spilt much blood of his Majesties good subjects and for these crimes you are excommunicated by the Church and fore-faulted by the Parliament of this Kingdom and to this day you have remained without the least

please God to deal with me as for my life if you take it a way by this authority it s wel known I regard it not Death is a debt which we all owe and must once be paid by every one I shall be willing and much rejoyce to go the same way my Master passed before me it 's the joy of my heart not onely to do but to suffer for him After the Prisoner had been had in and withdrawn the Parliament agreed unanimously upon sentence of condemnation who being again called in the Chancellor cōmanded to be read which was as followeth You are to be carried back to the place from whence you came from thence
