Lenthall their Speaker as followeth 1. FOr releasing out of New-gate 3 of the Queens Priests and Iesuits by his Warrant 2. For maintaining and protecting severall Spies and Agents for the late King within the Line of Communication during the late Warre 3. For conveying divers remarkable Prisoners of War out of the Line of Communication unto the late King 4. For assisting and protecting severall Plotters on the behalfe of the late King to destroy the City of London 5. For suffering above 30000 l. to be conveyed to the late King out of the Line of Communication wittingly and willingly 6. For sending Horses of Warre with Men and Armes to the late King 7. For holding an intercourse of Letters with the late King 8. For maintaining and keeping an Agent in the Garrison of Oxford for expediting the foregoing Treacheries 9. For corrupting many Members of the Parliament some lately excluded and some now sitting in the House to conceale and smother the foregoing Treacheries 10. For endeavouring to take away the Lives of severall the Prosecutors and Witnesses unto the foregoing Treacheries You see there is not one word in them of Cousening the Common-wealth which is now become the Private-wealth of every particular Saint because this would have broken universally the whole communion of Saints and would have set them all together by the eares to defend themselves by recriminating one another The device was by taking off the Speaker to Dissolve them since they cannot by the Priviledges of the House chuse themselves a new Speaker without the consent of a power higher then their owne to wit the KING 's And though they will be so much Masters of their own Priviledges as to coyne new every day upon emergent occasions yet those irregularities are alwaies done under the power and protection of the Sword which they could not expect against their owne Visier Basha Oliver This trick being smelt out was so highly resented that it perished in the birth onely I heare the Speaker bled in private 15000 l. towards Olivers expedition 199. 150000 l. Advance money for Cromwells expedition All the sinks of tyranny and oppression about the Towne the Committee of the Revenue Goldsmiths hall Haberdashers hall the Excise Office c. are all emptied into that Common-Sewer Olivers expedition into Ireland or rather Scotland or engaged as a security to furnish him with 150000 l. part whereof onely he is accountable for the residue is left to his discretion and conscience to buy Townes and Victories with and to be offered upon an Altar to be erected Deo ignoto At Olivers request the House admitted Sir Edward Ford to compound upon the Articles of Oxon notwithstanding his lapse of time Forde married Ireton's Sister and the Lord Culpeper's Sonne married Forde's Daughter Observe how the Generall is lessened to advance Cromwell 1. The Command of the Irish Forces taken from him and Cromwell sent with a Higher power than ever any went with into that Nation 2. All Souldiers that will are enabled to leave their Regiments and List under Cromwell so that the discontented and Levelling Party onely are left under the Command of Fairfax Col. Martin's Accounts brought into the House 200. More Gifts to the Godly 3. Iuly 1649. his Arreares came to 25000 l and 1000 l. per ann Land ordered to be setled upon him and his Heyres The Lord Gray of Grooby's Arrears for the last Summer only against Duke Hamilton 1500 l. These things considered I cannot wonder at the Petition presented to the Generall by Captaine Iubbs The Moderate from Iuly 3. to Iuly 10. 1649. in the name of Col. Huson's Regiment about Iuly 6. wherein amongst other things they complaine That the House doe Weekly bestow 1000 l. per an upon themselves out of the publique Treasury of the Nation when as the Souldiers wants are great and all the People are in great necessity As if the dividing of the Army 201. Endeavors to lessen the Generall and putting the most confiding men under Cromwell the taking the whole Command of Ireland from the Generall and conferrirg it upon Cromwell the drawing drie all Treasuries of Money to furnish Cromwell and leaving no Money to content the Generalls remaining part of the Army the turning the odium of seizing and secluding the Members and Murdering the KING upon the Generall were not sufficient diminutions of the Generall and augmentations of his Lieutenant Generall The Welch Counties are set on worke to desire Harry Martin for their Commander in Chiefe and the Westerne Garrisons the most considerable of England are to be taken from the Generall and put into the hands of Cromwell and his Party for his retreat from Ireland so that if all this doe not enable him to ruine the Generall it will at least enable him to divide the Army and cautonize the Kingdome and turne the Generall into the dangers and troubles of the starving forlorne North Counties bordering upon Scotland And if Cromwell find Ireland too hard a Bone for him it is thought he will endeavour to surprize the Isle of Man and from thence infest Scotland and Ireland 202. An Inquisition for bloud an ingenious piece newly come to light About the 18. Iuly 1649. was presented to the world an ingenious piece entituled An Inquisition for Bloud to the Parliament in statu quo nunc And to the Army Regnante wherin the Author proves That the KING dsd not take the guilt of Bloud upon Himselfe by granting the Preambulatory Proposition in the late Treaty in the Isle of Wight in these words viz That He acknowledged that the two Houses of Parliament were necessitated to undertake a Warre in their owne just and lawfull Defence c. And that therefore all Oathes Declarations or other publique Instruments against the 2 Houses of Parliament or any for adhering to them c. be Declared null suppressed and forbidden His Majesty in yeilding to this Grant had reference to two ends 1. To prepare the way to peace which without this had been hopelesse 2. To secure indemnifie the two Houses with all their Adherents and rid them from those despairing feares and jealousies which made them adversaries to peace For the words of this Preamble they were not of His penning He was not Authour of them but an Assentor to them nor was He or His Party accused or so much as mentioned in them He made this Concession sub stricta novacula when the Razor was as it were at His throat 1. An Army of 3e000 Horse and Foot effective against Him 2. When He was endangered and tired out with a long and close Imprisonment 3. When many dangerous menacing Petitions against His life had been encouraged and entertained so that the King may seem to have been necessitated to yeild to this Grant for His owne just and lawfull Defence His Majesty passed this Concession with these two Provisoes 1. That it should be of no validity until the whole Treaty were intirely
