General Cromwel craving his protection in several publick Addresses who declining to meddle in this affair left him to the Law and he was committed to Newgate and the next Sessions being brought to the Old-Baily he first demanded Council which was granted him Next day he refused to put in his Plea unless he might have a Copy of his Indictment which was likewise admitted Next day he delivered in his Bill of Exceptions to the Indictment after that he demanded a Copy of the Judgment given against him in Parliament together with the Act Then he joined issue and made his defence for several hours and about twelve at Night the Jury brought him in Not Guilty but he was sent back to Newgate and thence to the Tower where he continued some time and then turned Quaker and dying soon after was buried from the Bull and Mouth Meeting place near Aldersgate with a numerous company of that party attending him to his Grave As to the condition of Scotland at this time the English had taken most of their strong Towns Forts and Castles in the Low-lands yet the High-landers made divers Incursions upon them robbing and killing many and then returned to their inaccessible Fastnesses where they could not be pursued being commanded by the Lords Glencarn Athol Seaforth and others the last of whom sent a summons to a Ship that lay at Anchor at Lewis-Island having before surprized seven or eight men that went ashoar for provisions a Copy of which follows Being incited not only by conscience but honour to stand firm to the principles of loyalty but also disdaining even in rational Interest to stoop to such a wavering and servile power as now Ruleth I have laid hold on those men come ashoar as promoting the same Wherefore I summon you to deliver your Vessel for His Majesties service and being certainly perswaded that all or most part of you are with grief of heart imployed in such service I assure all that will voluntarily shun the unnecessary effusion of blood by that surrender shall have such fair Quarter as is fitting for me to grant and as your several conditions do require and according to your demeanours herein you may expect to find me your friend accordingly Seaforth For the Captain Master and Mariners of the Fortune But the Captain did not think fit to obey this summons sailing away and leaving his men behind And thus they continued awhile in expectation of supplies of men from Lieutenant Gen. Midleton and the Low Countries but in the mean time a considerable party under the E. of Glencarn were defeated himself hardly escaping and afterward several other parties by the English so that they could not join At length Midleton arrived from Holland with the expected provisions of War and a Commission to be General and Monroe Lieutenant General which so incensed Glencarn that he who had imployed his utmost interest in raising men must now be commanded by others that they quarrelled among themselves Glencarn was contented to be Lt. General but Monro would not agree to it whereupon a Duel was fought between them in which Monro being wounded and disarmed deserted the service with about 500 Gentlemen and agreed with the Governour of Dunbarton to live peaceably at home others did the like yet Midleton stood out still till first in Argyle and then at Loughary he was by Gen. Monk and Coll. Morgan wholly overthrown and afterward returned to Holland the Assembly of the Kirk was likewise dissolved by Coll. Morgan and the Clergy subjected As for Ir●land it was by the English arms brought to such a condition as there was no fear of disturbance for the future only some few Tories kept themselves in some inaccessible places and sometimes made irruptions to steal and plunder An high Court of Justice was erected there of which Cook was President by whom many Irish and some of their ancient Nobility were sentenced and executed for the bloody Massacre committed upon the Protestants in 1641. and about 14000 sold to the King of Spain and many transported into other Countries the rest being driven into the Province of Connaught out of which upon pain of death they were not to stir without leave The other three Provinces Ulster Munster and Lenster were allotted to the English and all forfeited Lands divided among such Adventurers as had advanced money toward the management of the Irish affairs and for satisfaction of the souldiers arrears General Fleetwood succeeded Ireton as Lord Governor of Ireland by order of Gen. Cromwel who had married his eldest Daughter Bridget the Widow of Ireton The Hollanders finding little advantage by the war with the English sent four Commissioners hither to begin a Treaty during which there was no cessation of arms for at the same time a remarkable battel happened between the two Navies July 29. 1653. The Scouts discovered a Dutch Fleet from the Wielings of about 95 men of War upon which the English made what sail they could after them which the enemy perceiving stood away yet about five in the evening near 30 of the English ingaged the rest of the Fleet being astern so that they bore the whole brunt of that days fight till Night parted them the Dutch were observed to send away their maimed Ships in the Night and in the dark got by with their whole Fleet in order to join 25 sail of stout ships more from the Texel which the English could not prevent because of the foul weather Next morning the Dutch with these new recruits fell upon the English Fleet in a gallant posture and fought couragiously from five in the morning till one after noon both Fleets passing through and endeavouring to burn sink and destroy each other At length the Dutch went off with the loss of some ships either sunk or burnt the Garland a stout man of War taken formerly by the Dutch from us was burnt by the VVorcester The Triumph and the Andrew were boarded by three Dutch Fireships and had some damage in their sails but were quickly cleared The Dutch observing themselves decline made away directly for the Texel and the English being somewhat disabled and not daring to venture too near the Holland Coasts it was resolved that the whole Fleet should sail for Sole Bay The English Admirals in this fight were Gen Blake and Gen. Monk Pen was Vice Admiral and Lawson Rere-Admiral VVhen Monk with the English Fleet set sail and stood out to Sea the Dutch supposed they fled for fear which made one of the Captains desire Van Trump to pursue For saith he these Skellums dare not stand one broad-side from your Excellency you may see them plainly running home and therefore my Lord miss not the opportunity But Trump who understood better gave this short reply Sir look to your charge for were the enemy but 20 sail they would never refuse to fight us The English had 300 slain in this battel whereof seven were Captains and 700 wounded five of them Captains The
