should crown his beginnings But Sir Geor. party being dispers'd in Aug. 1659 in the County of Chester where he first appeared the Rump Beagles did trace the scent of the Abettors of that rising so closely that Sir Anth. being shrewdly suspected to have a most considerable hand in it and to have kept intelligence with the King then in exile was publickly accused of it in the Rump Parliament then sitting So that being called to the bar of the House he made answer so dexterously to their objections that he stopt the mouthes of his Accusers and most of the Members having a great opinion of his fidelity did then dismiss him After this he perceiving full well that in short time Monarchy would be restored he studied all the ways imaginable especially when it could not be hindred to promote it He corresponded with Monk then in Scotland when he took discontent that the Rump Parliament which was invited to sit again by the Army on the 6. of May 1659 was thrust out of doors on the 13 of Oct. following So that he being very forward in that affair he was on the 2 of Jan. following the Rump having been a little before readmitted to sit nominated one of the Council of State and about 9 days after had the Regiment of Horse then very lately belonging to Charles Fleetwood commonly called the Lord Fleetwood given to him to be Colonel thereof Soon after Monks coming to Westminster he became very great with him and was for his sake not only made Governour of the Isle of Wight but one of the Council of State by the Rump and secluded members then newly added to them on the 16. of March 1659 on which day they dissolved themselves In the beginning of 1660 he was chosen one of the Knights of Wilts to serve in that Parliament called the Healing Parliament began at Westm 25. of Apr. the same year at which time the authority of the Council of State ceased In the latter end of May following he went with General George Monk to Dover to meet the King then about to take possession of his Kingdoms after 12 years absence thence The next day being May 26 he was sworn a Privy Counsellour to his Majesty being at that time at Canterbury in his way to London to be received by his Subjects there at which time Sir Anthony took one or more Oathes In the beginning of Oct. following when his Majesty was pleased to issue out the grand commission of Oyer and Terminer for the Trial of the Regicides directed to several noble persons choice was made of Sir Anthony to be one So that he sitting upon the Bench first at Hicks-hall and afterwards at the Old Baylie with others that had been deeply engaged in the then late grand rebellion caused Adrian Scrope Esq one of the Regicides that then was tried to say of himself and them thus his words being directed to Sir Orl. Bridgman Lord Chief Baron of the Exchecquer the chief Judge then in that affair But my Lord I say this if I have been misled I am not a single person that have been misled My Lord I could say but I think it doth not become me to say so that I see a great many faces at this time that were misled as well as my self but that I will not insist upon c.

Ash Cooper being put into the road to gain honour and riches he was in the year following on the 20. of Apr. three days before his Majesties Coronation advanced to the degree and dignity of a Baron of this Realm by the title of Lord Ashley of Wimbourne S. Giles Afterwards he was made Chancellour and Under-Treasurer of the Exchecquer in which places he was succeeded by Sir John Duncombe about the 20 of Nov. 1672 and upon the death of Thomas Earl of Southampton Lord Treasurer he was made one of the five Commissioners by his Majesty for the executing the said office on the first of June an 1667. About that time he was Lieutenant of Dorsetshire and a person in great favour with the K. and Court In Dec. 1671 he with Sir Thomas Clifford were the principal advisers of his Majesty to shut up the Exchecquer which was accordingly effected on the first of January following and in granting injunctions in the case of Bankers In the beginning of March following he with the said Sir Thomas were great promoters of the indulgence for liberty of Conscience effected also by the Kings Proclamation for that purpose dat 15. of the same month 1671 which was the source of all misfortunes that followed even to the Popish Plot an 1678. But that Indulgence or Toleration was happily annull'd by the Parliament which did begin to re-sit 4. Feb. 1672. On the 27. of Apr. 1672 he was by Letters Pat. then bearing date created Lord Cooper of Paulet and Earl of Shaftesbury and at that time tugging hard for the Lord Treasurers place his Majesty was pleased to advance him higher that is to be Lord Chancellour of England 17. Nov. the same year and on the 28 of the same month he gave the office of Lord Treasurer to the said Sir Thomas then Lord Clifford 'T is reported by a nameless author but of no great credit that when his Majesty upon an occasional hearing of this Lords Shaftesbury publick sagacity in discussing publickly some profound points did as in a rapture of admiration say that his Chancellour was as well able to vye if not out-vye all the Bishops in point of Divinity and all his Judges in point of Law and as for a Statesman the whole world in forreign Nations will be an evident witness c. Before I go any farther it must be known that altho his Majesty did publish his Declaration of War against Holland with a manifesto of its causes on the 17. of Mar. 1671 seconded by the French Kings Declaration of War by Sea and Land against the States dat 27. of the same month in pursuance of which the English and French had a sharp engagement with the Dutch 28. May 1672 off of Southwould-bay the D. of York being then Admiral yet this War was not communicated to the Parliament till they did re sit 4. Feb. 1672 In the opening of which Session I say that Shaftesbury did in a speech the next day promote and much forward the said War and enforced it moreover with a Rhetorical flourish Delenda est Carthago that a Dutch Commonwealth was too near a Neighbour to an English Monarch c. By which advice the Triple-League which had been made between us the Dutch and the Sweed in the latter end of the year

Soon after he was made York Herald was imployed into France in the first of Car. 1 and from thence attended Qu. Henrietta Maria into
Holdenby in Northamptonshire there to continue during the Treaty because it was a more convenient place for his Majesty and much more near to London than the former place On the 3 of Feb. therefore an 1646 he was conveyed thence by certain Forces appointed by Parliament and on the 16 of the said month he arrived at Holdenby with the Commissioners viz. Philip Earl of Pembroke Basil Earl of Denbigh Edward Lord Mountague of Boughton with double their number of some eminent members of the H. of Commons namely Sir Jam. Harrington Sir John Holland and Sir Joh. Coke Baronets Sir Walter Earle Kt Joh. Crew Esq and Serg. Maj. Gen. Rich. Browne Being all setled there the Treaty went on with fair hopes of a conclusion but by the diabolical machinations of O. Cromwell and his confederates the Adjutators it was after this manner dissolved and the King by force taken thence On the 3 of June 1647 his Maj. being in the afternoon at Bowls in the Green at Aâ—thorp near Holdenby belonging to the Lord Spencer Earl of Sunderland it was whisper'd among the Commissioners then there with him that a party of Horse obscurely headed were marching towards Holdenby and for no good it was presumed in regard that neither the Commissioners nor Colonel Rich. Greaves a most confiding Presbyterian who kept the Guard at Holdenby and was an Officer in the Army nor the Commissioners servants had the least notice of it from any Officer or other correspondent in the Army other than that the General had removed his Head-quarter from S. Edmunds Bury to Newmarket when the Army entred into an Engagement not to suffer themselves to be disbanded such a motion having been made by the Commons in Parliament Whereupon his Majesty so soon as he was acquainted with it he immediately left the Green and returned to Holdenby where the Commissioners after consultation had with Col. Greaves resolved to stand upon their guard and accordingly they forthwith doubled their guards for the defence of his Majesties person and Serg. Maj. Gen. Browne calling all the Soldiers together acquainted them with the occasion who promised to stand by him and not to suffer any attempt upon the Kings person or affront on the Commissioners as I have been informed by one then present on the place whom I shall anon mention But the difference is great 'twixt saying and doing as soon appeared for about midnight came that party of Horse which in good order drew up before the House or Pallace at Holdenby and at all avenews placed guards This done the Officer that commanded the party alighted and demanded entrance Whereupon Greaves and Browne asked him his name and business he answer'd his name was Joyce a Cornet in Col. Edw. Whalleys Regiment and his business was to speak with the King From whom said they From my self said Joyce at which they laughed and thereupon Joyce said 't was no laughing matter They advised him to draw off his men and in the morning he should speak with the Commissioners I came not hither said he to be advised by you nor have I any business with the Commissioners my errand is to the King and speak with him I must and will presently c. They then bad the Soldiers within stand to their Arms and be ready to fire when ordered But during this short Treaty between the Cornet and Greaves and Browne the Soldiers on each side had conference together and so soon as they understood that they were Fellow-Soldiers of one and the same Army they quickly forgot what they had promised for they opened the gates and doors shoke one another by the hand and bad them welcome so little regard had they to their promises either in reference to the Kings safety or the Commissioners that attended him Entrance being made strict search was made after Col. Greaves who tho faultless yet was it suggested that he would privately have conveyed away the King to London got happily out of their reach Sentinels were ordered by Joyce to be set at the Commissioners chambers doors that he might with less noise carry on his design and find way to the Back-stairs where the Grooms of his Majesties Bedchamber attended Cornet Joyce being come unto the door he in rude manner knock'd Those within asked who it was that in such an uncivil manner and unseasonable time came to disquiet the Kings rest The Cornet answer'd My name is Joyce an Officer of the Army and sorry I am that I should disquiet the King but I cannot help it for speak with him I must and that presently c This strange confidence of his and the posture he was in having a cock'd Pistol in his hand amazed the four Grooms of the Bedchamber Jam. Maxwell Patr. Maule Jam. Harrington and Thom. Herbert from the last of which I had this story in writing whose duty it was and care to preserve his Majesties person and were resolv'd to sacrifice their lives rather than give him admittance They therefore in the first place ask'd Joyce if he had the Commissioners approbation for his intrusion he said no for I have ordered a guard to be set at their doors and have orders from those that feared them not They then perswaded him to lay aside his arms and to forbear giving disturbance the K. being then asleep assuring him that in the morning he should have his Majesties answer to his errand The Cornet refused to part with either Sword or Pistol and yet insisted to have the Chamber door opened But the Grooms of the Bedchamber keeping firm to their resolution that he should not enter the noise was so loud which in this contest could not be avoided that it awakened his Majesty who thereupon rung his silver bell Upon which Maxwell went into the Bedchamber to know the Kings pleasure the other three Grooms in the mean time securing the door The K. being acquainted with the business and uncivil carriage of the Cornet he sent word he would not rise nor speak with him until morning Which being told the Cornet he huff'd and seeing his design could not be effected in the night he retired so as for a few hours there was silence Morning being come the K. arose a little sooner than ordinary and having performed his morning devotions he sent for Joyce who with no less confidence than if he had been a supreme Officer approached the King and acquainted him with the commands he had concerning his removal The K. desired that the Commissioners might be sent for and his orders communicated to them the Cornet made answer that they were to return back to the Parliament by whose appointment said the King to which the Cornet made no answer The K. then said Let them have their liberty and give me a sight of your instructions That said Cornet Joyce you shall see presently And forthwith drawing up the greatest and best part of his party into the inner Court as near as he could unto the King said These

Higgs descended of a wealthy and honest Family living in Glocestershire was born at Stoke Abbat commonly called South Stoke near Henley in Oxfordshire and was baptized there on the day of S. Sim. and Jude in the year 1589. After he had been trained up in Grammar learning at Reading he was sent to S. Johns Coll. in the beginning of the year 1606 where making great proficiency in Logick and Philosophy under Mr. Rich. Tillesley his Tutour he was worthily esteemed the flower of the undergraduats of that house whether for Oratory or Disputations After he had taken the degree of Bach. of Arts he wrot in Lat. verse Nativitas vita mors D.

Coll. whom the Juniors have annually for the most part elected from the first foundation of the College And in the beginning of Qu. Elizabeths Reign John Case afterwards Doctor of Phys and a noted Philosopher did with great credit undergo that Office When the said Tooker was elected Prince he assumed these titles viz. The most magnificent and renowned Thomas by the favour of fortune Prince of Alba Fortunata Lord of S. Johns High Regent of the Hall Duke of S. Giles Marquess of Magdalens Landgrave of the Grove Count Palatine of the Cloysters Chief Baylive of Beaumont High Ruler of Rome Master of the Mannour of Walton Governour of Glocester Green sole Commander of all titles turnaments and triumphs Superintendent in all solemnities whatsoever The said Tooker who was Fellow of S.

Coll where from the first foundation the Fellows annually elected about S. Edmunds day in November a Christmas Lord or Lord of misrule stiled in their registers Rex Fabarum and Rex regni fabarum Which custome continued till the reformation of Religion and then that producing Puritanisme and Puritanisme Presbytery the professors of it looked upon such laudable and ingenious customes as Popish Diabolical and Antichristian Our Author Higgs was about the same time that he wrot and collected the said Folio Book elected Probationer Fellow of Mert. Coll. an 1611 and taking the degree of Master had Holy Orders confer'd on him and two small cures successively in that College gift In 1622 he did undergo with great courage tho of little stature the procuratorial office of the University and being afterwards Bach. of Div. was in the year 1627 sent to the Hague by his Majesty to be Chaplain to his Sister Elizabeth Qu. of Bohemia in which employment he continued at least 12 years In the year 1629 30 he performed his exercise at Leyden for the degree of Doctor of Divinity and was forthwith created Doctor of that fac by the famous Andrew Rivet At length being called home from his service by his Majesty he was by the endeavours of Dr. Laud made Rector of the rich Church of Clive or Cliff near to Dover in Kent Chauntor of S. Davids and upon the removal of Dr. Sam. Fell to the Deanery of Ch. Ch. in Oxon was made Dean of Lichfield in 1638 the Cathedral of which he adorned to his great charge and Chapl. in ord to his Majesty At length the Civil Wars breaking forth he sufferâ—d for his Majesties cause was plundred sequestred lost his spiritualities c.

a Republick and I know not what to advance himself In the month of Aug. the same year he was made Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire by the Parliament and was persuaded almost to fortifie the City of Oxon for their use and to make Bulstrode Whitlock sometimes of S. Johns Coll. then a Member of Parliament Governour thereof but for what reasons he could not be overcome it appears not At the same time he did endeavour to engage the People of the said County in a Rebellion not only at Oxon but afterwards at Woodstock where he did protest upon his honour after Edghill Fight that the King had neither men nor money nor arms but the Parliament had all these c. On the 27 of Dec. and 8 of Febr. in 1642 his Maj. published two Proclamations commanding all the Officers of the Court of Wards to attend him at Oxon but this Lord Say refusing to come was outlaw'd and attainted of Treason So that he being put out of his place and a new Seal made for the use of the said Court it was ordered then to remain in the custody of the said Francis Lord Cottington In 1646 the Court of Wards was taken away by the Parliament sitting at Westminster the Members of which did recompence the Lord Say for his loss as being Master with the sum of 10000 l and Sir Ben. Rudyard the Surveyour of the said Court with the sum of 6000 l and both with Lands from the Earl of Worcester's Estate In 1648 he shew'd himself a zealous enemy in the House against a personal Treaty with his Majesty and the same year was present with the Parliament Commissioners in the Isle of Wight when they treated in order for Peace with the King At which time this Lord Say did boldly urge to his Maj. a passage out of the three last and corrupted books of Mr. Rich. Hocker's Ecclesiastical Polity that tho the King was singulis major yet he was universis minor which was answer'd with great prudence and dexterity by his Maj. as may be elsewhere seen At that time the Kings Arguments concerning several matters did so much work upon him that at his return to London he sided with that party in the House that voted that the Kings Answers to the Propositions were a firm ground for them to proceed upon for a Peace After the King's death he altogether sided with the Independents as before he had done with the Presbyterians became great with Oliver who made him one of the other House that is House of Lords After the restauration of K. Ch. 2. at what time he had acted as a grand Rebell for his own ends almost 20 years he was rewarded forsooth with the honorable Office of Lord Privy Seal while others that had suffered in estate and body and had been reduced to a bit of bread for his Maj. cause had then little or nothing given to relieve them for which they were to thank a hungry and great Officer who to fill his own Coffers was the occasion of the utter ruin of many A person of the Lord Say's persuasion who had run with the times as he did purposely to raise a family saith that he was a person of great parts wisdom and integrity and another who was taken to be a Puritan in his time tells us that Say and Sele was a seriously subtil piece and always averse to the Court ways something out of pertinaciousness his temper and constitution ballancing him altogether on that side which was contrary to the wind so that he seldom tack'd about or went upright though he kept his course steady in his way a long time c. As for the things that he hath published the titles of them are these Several Speeches as 1 Two Speeches in Parliament One upon the Bill against the Bishops and the other touching the Liturgy of the Church of Engl Lond. 1641. in two sh in quart 2 Sp. in the Guildhall London 27 Oct. 1642. Lond. 1642. qu. This was spoken just after Edghill Fight to encourage the Citizens to raise more money to carry on the War At which time also were very earnest in their Speeches for that purpose Philip Lord Wharton Philip Earl of Pembroke Henry Earl of Holland and Will. Strâ—de one of the 5 Members 3 Speech in Parliament against the Supremacy of the Bishops and their power in civil Affairs Lond. 1642. qu. This with the former against the Bishops were much applauded among the patriotical Party whose sense they spoke out to the full and were the core of the Canker bred in them against the Church These Speeches also did the Clergy take to be their chief reason of their several years of Persecution that followed and why they were banished from their Livings for fear forsooth they should preach the People then in a great manner deceived into obedience to the King After the War was ceased and no Malignants there were as he called the Cavaliers to oppose him he shew'd himself an Enemy to the Quakers with whom he was much troubled at or near Broughton and thereupon wrot certain books against them as I shall tell you by and by The Scots designe discovered relating their dangerous attempts lately practised against the English Nation with the sad consequence of the same Wherein divers matters of publick concernment are disclosed and the book called Truths manifest is made apparent to be Lies manifest Lond. 1653 qu. This is usually called Vindiciae veritatis or an Answer to a Discourse intit Truth it 's manifest c. Folly and madness made manifest Or Some things written to shew how contrary to the word of God and practice of the Saints in the Old and New Testament the doctrines and practices of the Quakers are c. Oxon. 1659. qu. This I think was printed before The Quakers reply manifested to be rayling or a pursuance of those by the light of the Scriptures who through their dark imaginations would evade the truth c. Oxon. 1659 60. qu. and other things which I have not yet seen At length this noble Author after he had spent 80 years mostly in an unquiet and discontented condition had been a grand promoter of the Rebellion which began in 1642 did die quietly in his bed but whether in conscience I cannot tell on the fourteenth day of April in sixteen hundred sixty and two whereupon his body was buried in Broughton Church among the graves of his Ancestors and had over it soon after a rich and costly monument erected more befitting a Hero than a Rebell He left behind him several sons living at the time of his death among whom James his eldest son was one who succeeding him in his Honours was made L. Lieutenant of Oxfordshire having always been reputed an honest Cavalier and a quiet man Nathaniel the second son whom I shall mention elsewhere c. ROBERT SIBTHORPE was initiated in Academical Learning in Linc. Coll. as it seems but leaving the University
before he took a degree entred into holy Orders and taking to wife the daughter of Sir John Lamb of Rothwell in Northamptonshire Chancellour of Peterborough and afterwards Dean of the Arches was put into the Commission of Peace being then Rector of Water-Stratford in Bucks by the gift of Sir Arth. Throcmorton of Paulerspury About that time shewing himself a fierce Persecutor of the Puritans living near him was thro the means of his Father-in-law made Vicar of Brackley in Northamptonshire and by the endeavours of Dr. Piers Vicechanc. of this University Doctor of Divinity an 1624 being then a Member of Linc. Coll. tho he before had not been honoured with any degree in this or as I presume in any other University He with Rog. Manwaring were stiff assertors of the Kings Cause and Prerogative and great promoters for the raising a Loan of money without the knowledge and assistance of his Parliament an 1626. For which service both had preferment Manwaring being afterwards made Rector of Stanford Rivers in Essex c. and Sibthorpe Chaplain in ord to his Maj. Prebendary of Peterborough and Rector of Burton Latimers in Northamptonshire from which two last he was violently ejected in the beginning of the Civil Wars He was a person of little learning and of few parts only made it his endeavours by his forwardness and flatteries to gain preferment If you 'll believe one that was no great friend to the Church of England he 'll tell you that Sibthorpe and Manwaring were exceeding pragmatical so intollerably ambitious and so desperately proud that scarce any Gentleman might come near the tail of their Mules c. He hath published Several Sermons as 1 A counterplea to an Apostates pardon on Jerem. 5.7 Lond. 1618. qu. 2 Apostolical obedience an Assize Serm. at Northampton on Rom. 13.7 Lond. 1627. qu. The whole scope of which is to justifie the lawfulness of the general loan then set on foot by the Kings ill Counsellors as one saith to keep off Parliaments and of the Kings imposing publick taxes by his own regal Power without consent in Parliament and to prove that the People in point of conscience and religion ought chearfully to submit to such loanes and taxes without any opposition For which matters he was called into question and censured by the Parliament He hath other things extant as I have been informed but such I have not yet seen and therefore can only say that in the time of the Rebellion he suffered very great calamities for his Majesties cause but upon the return of K. Ch. 2. in 1660 he was restored to his Prebendship Rectory of Burton Latimers and other Ecclesiastical Benefices if he had any besides them and that dying in a good old age was buried on the 25 of April in sixteen hundred sixty and two in the Chancel of the Church of Burton Latimers One Robert Sibthorpe Son of a Father of both his names Rector of Northcadbury in Somersetshire became a Student of Ball. Coll. in 1613 aged 18 years which is all I know of him being not to be understood to be the same with the former And another Rob. Sibthorpe I find to have been M. of A. of Cambridge and afterwards Bishop of Kilfenore in Ireland See more in the Fasti among the incorporations an 1619. PETER HEYLYN Son of Henry Heylyn descended from an antient Family of his name living at Pentrie-Heylyn in Mountgomeryshire was born in a Market Town called Burford in Oxfordshire on the 29 of Nov. 1599 educated in Grammar learning in the Free-school there under Mr. Thom. North first and after under Mr. Edw. Davys where profiting in Trivials to a miracle especially in Poetry in which he gave several ingenious Specimens as occasion offer'd was in the year 1613 plac'd by his Father in Hart Hall under the tuition successively of two Tutors viz. Mr. Joseph Hill and Mr. Walt. Newbury a zealous Puritan The next year he stood to be Demie of Magd. Coll but being then put by was the year following elected by which time he had made a considerable progress in Academical Literature After he had taken the degree of Bach. of Arts which was in Oct. 1617 he read every Long vacation till he was Master Cosmography Lectures in the common refectory of the said College of which the first being performed in the latter end of July 1618 it was so well approved that for that and his other learning he was chose Probationer and the year following perpetual Fellow of the said house On the 22 of Feb. 1619 he began the composing of his Geography according to the hint which he had taken the year before in his Cosmography Lectures and finished it on the 29 of Apr. following In Nov. the same year it was printed and being dedicated to Prince Charles he presented him being then at Theobalds with a copy of it which was very graciously received In 1623 he was made Deacon and Priest by Dr. Howson Bishop of Oxon in S. Aldates Church and the year after having augmented and corrected his Geography 't was printed again and presented to the Prince the Author being then introduced by Henry Lord Danvers who then spake very affectionately in his commendations About that time Dr. John Young Dean of Winchester presenting a Copy of it to the King he approved of it well but unfortunately falling on a passage therein whereby the Author gave precedency to France before England he became so much offended that he gave order to the Lord Keeper to call in the Book whereupon the Author then at Oxon being advised to repair to the Court and make use of the Prince to salve that sore he gave such satisfaction concerning it in writing sent to the said Dean that the King perusing it rested very well contented with the matter In 1625 he went into France where spending about six weeks in several placâ—â— wrot the particulars of the said journey in a Book the original of which he presented to the said Lord Danvers but a copy of it he kept by him which at length 30 years after or thereabouts he publish'd to correct a false copy that had crept abroad On the 24 April 1627 he answer'd pro forma on these questions 1 An Ecclesia unquam fuerit invisibilis 2 An Ecclesia possit errare Both which he determined negatively contrary to the mind and judgment of Prideaux the Kings Professor of Divinity in his lecture De Visibilitate Ecclesiae who thereupon fell foul upon him calling him Bellarminian Pontifician and I know not what and did his best to beat him from his grounds but he held his own This raised great clamour for the present which Prideaux increased the munday after when Heylyn opposed Mr. Will. Haies of Magd. Hall at which time he was once again proclaimed a Papist by him in the publick School of Divinity which might have done him more mischief among his friends but that as he saith God stood with him On the

Euseb Andrews being engaged suffer'd death an 1650. for which being imprison'd was at length tried for his life before the High Court of Justice but being found only guilty of misprision of treason for concealing it he was condemn'd to loose his estate and to perpetual imprisonment from the last of which he was released by order of Parliament 5. of Apr. 1653. He died in the Parish of S. Martin in the Fields in the City of Westminster in Nov. 1671 aged 79 years or thereabouts and was as I suppose buried at Hopton Quaere having had this character given of him by the Presbyterians while they were dominant that he was a man beloved of his Country and feared by his enemies valiant in his actions and faithful in his ends to promote truth and peace Of the same family was Rob.

Barthelmew in the month of August in sixteen hundred sixty and two and was buried in the Cathedral Church there At which time one of his perswasion intended to preach a Sermon of Mortality but Dr. Piers the then Bishop of that place who had no affection for Jeanes because he knew him to have been an Heretick and often had call'd him so examined the Sermon least any thing therein might be spoken in commendation of him and his opinions JOHN BIDDLE or Biddellus as he is by some Authors written Son of Edw. Bid. a Taylor was born at Wotton Under Edge in Glocestershire baptized on the 14. of January 1615 and afterwards being a youth of great hopes was by the benevolence and exhibition of George Lord Berkley educated in Grammar learning in the Free-school there by John Rugg and John Turner successive Masters thereof Under the last he made so great proficiency in his studies that he englished Virgils Bucolicks and the Two first Satyrs of Juvenal Both which were printed at Lond. in 1634 in oct and dedicated to John Smith of Nibley in the said County Esq Mecaenas of the Wottonian Muses In the beginning of that year having a little before composed and recited before a full auditory an elaborate oration in Latine for the gracing the funeral of an honorable School fellow he was entred a Student of Magd. Hall and for a time if I mistake not was put under the tuition of John Oxenbridge a Person then noted to be of no good principles Before he had taken the degree of Master of Arts being about that time a Tutor in the said Hall he was invited to take upon him the care of teaching the School wherein he had been educated by the Overseers thereof but refused it and after he had compleated the said degree which was in 1641 he became Master of Crypt School within the City of Glocester where for a time he was much esteemed for his diligence in his profession severity of manners and sanctity of life At length the Nation being brought into confusion by the restless Presbyterians the said City garrison'd for the use of the Parliament and every one vented his or their opinions as they pleased he began to be free of his discourses of what he had studied there at leisure hours concerning the Trinity from the holy Scriptures having not then as he pretended convers'd with Socinian Books But the Presbyterian Party then prevalent there having notice of these matters and knowing full well what mischief he might do among his disciples the Magistrate summoned him to appear before him and after several interrogatories a form of confession under three heads was proposed to him to make which he accordingly did 2. May 1644 but not altogether in the words proposed Which matter giving then no satisfaction he made another confession in the same month more evident than the former to avoid the danger of imprisonment which was to follow if he should deny it Afterwards being more satisfied in his mind by reading various Authors he drew up several arguments against the generally received deity of the Holy Ghost which he intended shortly after to print but being betrayed by one whom he took to be his sure friend who had as it seems a copy of them he acquainted the Magistrate and Parliament Committee then in the said City of the matter Whereupon after they had perused them they committed the Author then labouring under a feaver to the common Goal there on the 2. of Decemb. 1645 to remain in that place till the Parliament should take cognizance of the matter But a certain Person of note dwelling in Glocester who had a respect for Biddle for the truth is except his opinions there was little or nothing blame worthy in him he procured his liberty by giving sureties for his appearance when it should please the Parliament to send for him About the month of June in 1646 the learned Usher Primate of Ireland travelled through that City in his way to London and having before heard of spake to and used him with all fairness and
and sometimes at London he continued with that Count more than an year In which time he did translate one of Virgils Aeneids and burlesqu'd it but whether he ever publish'd it I know not K. Ch. 1. did grant to him the reversion of the place of Surveyor of his buildings after the decease of Inigo Jones Which place he entring upon at the restauration of K.

Burton Bac. of Div. Minister of S. Mathews Church in Friday-street in London On the 27 of July following our Author Prynne was removed from the Tower to the Fleet and the same day being guarded he began his journey towards Caernarvan Castle in Wales from which time till the 5 of Aug. when then he arrived at Caernarvan he was met saluted bless'd and exhibited to by the godly party in all chief Towns that he passed thro But such a haunt there was to the said Castle when he was there that for the prevention of all intelligence and correspondence to be held between him and Burton in Lancaster Castle or with the said Party the State found it necessary to remove him to Mount Orgueil Castle in the Isle of Jersey So that by vertue of a warrant dated 27 Aug. Prynne was conveyed thither not without great danger in January following where being well used tho closely shut up he exercised his pen in writing divine and profitable Meditations In 1640 Nov. 7. an order issued out from the blessed House of Commons as by the said godly party it was called for his releasment from his prison as also for the releasment of Bastwick who was then in S. Maries Castle in the Isle of Scilly and for Burton in Castle Cornet in the Isle of Guernsey So that our Author Prynne and Burton who were Prisoners at no great distance met together at Guernsey and travelled in each others company to London In whose passage thither divers of the godly party met them at Dartmouth Exeter Lime Dorchester Salisbury Andover Basing and elsewhere visited them blest them and accompanied them on horse-back some part of their way On the 28 of the same month they triumphantly entred London being then accompanied by thousands on foot and horse-back and in coaches with rosemary and bays in their hats crying Welcome home welcome home God bless you God be thanked for your return c. to the great defiance and contempt of Authority and Justice On the 30 of the said month they were both presented by their Keepers who came with them to the Commons House where they had liberty granted to frame new Petitions in their own names according to their own liking and to present them to the house as soon as they could prepare them The 3 of Dec. following Prynne presented a large Petition fully shewing his sufferings and the grand tyranny as he call'd it of the Archbishop c. for which afterwards he had a large requital Not long after upon the leaving of the House of Commons by divers Members purposely to adhere to his Majesty he was elected a Recruiter for a Borough in Cornwall to serve in that most unhappy Parliament So that being setled in the House he became the most busie and pragmatical person of the Herd and so inveterate and implacable against the Bishops but more in an especial manner against Laud in private action and speech with him while he was Prisoner in the Tower in publick speeches against him in the Parliament-house and in writing and publishing books and Pamphlets of and against him that he could scarce take quiet rest till he had fetch'd off his head in requital of his ears that he as Prynne pretended had taken off before But of these matters when it was too late and that he had fully seen to what great woe misery and confusion the godly party had brought the King and the Nation he did heartily repent and wished that when they had cut off his ears they had cut off his head During the sitting of the Long Parliament he shew'd himself a zealous Covenantier in ordering and setling Presbytery but when the Independents began to overtop the Brethren he shew'd himself a bitter enemy to them and advanced much the Kings Cause especially in his declension In 1647 he was appointed one of the Visitors for the Univ. of Oxon by the said Parliament and how busily he behaved himself theâ—e in Apr. 1648 I have told you elsewhere See in Hist Antiq. Univ. Oxon lib. 1. sub an 1648. On the 6 of Dec. 1648 he with other members of the H. of Com. were turn'd out from the House by the Army and imprison'd for that they were zealous for peace and in bringing the King to his Parliament Whereupon he became a bitter enemy to the said Army and Oliver their Leader doing them also much mischief by publishing divers Pamphlets against them and their tyranny Soon after he conveyed his Estate away to one or more of his Relations and thereupon denied the paying of taxes and stood in open defiance to Oliver for which he was imprison'd in Dunster Castle in Somersetshire and brought into trouble He then stood much upon Magna Charta the liberty of the Subject for which he was beloved by several Cavaliers and I know not what But all that he did being to little purpose he bent his mind and pen for some time against the Papists Jews Quakers c. and in writing books of Divinity which being not answer'd or seem'd to be regarded he grew as 't were weary of himself began to look up at last and to settle on more moderate and quiet courses On the 21 of Feb. 1659 he as a secluded Member of the Commons house being restored to sit again became instrumental for the Kings Restauration and so forward and bold that he openly spoke in the house when it was not then seasonable for such expressions that if the King must come in it was safest for them that he should come in by the Votes who had made the War against his father c. Which I say being then unseasonably spoken he was sent for by General Monk and his privy Counsellors and admonished to be quiet and then it was the business of Mr. Will. Morice to keep the then expiring Parliament steddy and clear from intermedling in the change of Government in which case he did excellent service punctually observing the directions of the General who passionately longed for their dissolution In Apr. 1660 he the said Prynne was chose a Burgess for the City of Bathe to sit in the Healing Parliament that began at Westm 25 of the said month and after his Maj. Restauration he instead of being made one of the Barons of the Exchequer which as 't is said he sought after was made chief Keeper of his Maj.

In all which time being unseen and unheard he by his letter sent to the Lord Mayor for releasment was sent for to him But being there accused of several things by John Levet a Tallow chandler which were only praying for peace and preaching up obedience at an unseasonable time he was remitted back to prison not to Crosbie House where he was detained before but to Gresham Coll. where he continued a long time and afterwards in Newgate where he had scarce straw allow'd him to lie in whilst his Majesty was exclaimed against when he afforded the Rebels better usuage He hath also written and published The Scriptures vindicated from the unsound conclusions of Card.

Stephens Church in Coleman-street In 1625 he retired to Magd. Hall for a time performed his exercise for the degree of Bach. of Div accumulated and took that degree and in short time after retired to London again where by the Brethren he was esteemed a person of excellent gifts in preaching and in other qualities belonging to a Divine About the year 1630 he was appointed by certain factious and discontented persons one of the Feoffees for the buying in of impropriations but that project tho seem'd good to some being quash'd he about the year 1633 left his pastoral charge under pretence of opposition by the Prelates because he scrupled at certain ceremonies but without a certificate or testimony to shew what he was or what he had been and forthwith went beyond the Seas to Amsterdam without a call or invitation At that place he endeavouring to be a Minister in the English congregation and to joyn with them in all duties he was much opposed by Mr. John Paget an Elder or one of the chief Ministers there and especially for this reason that he would not agree with him in all things relating to baptisme Whereupon our author Davenport taking these and other matters in great disdain he wrot in his own defence Letter to the Dutch classis containing a just complaint against an unjust doer wherein is declared the miserable slavery and bondage that the English Church at Amsterdam is now in by reason of the tyrannical government and corrupt doctrine of Mr. Jo.

Gen. intended his good and advancement and that his particular errand was that he would make use of his Pen to write the History of the late War desiring withal that nothing but matters of fact be impartially set down c. To which he returned answer that he desired his humble service and hearty thanks be returned for that great honour done unto him and withal that he was uncapable in several respects for such an employment and could not so impartially engage in it but that his subject would force him to make such reflections as would be ungrateful if not injurious to his Lordship Notwithshanding this answer Cromwell seemed so sensible of his worth that tho he could not win him over to his desires yet he acknowledged a great respect for him and as a testimony thereof he ordered that upon the first demand there should be delivered three or four hundred pounds by a certain Bookseller in London whose name was Cromwell whensoever his occasions should require without acknowledging any benefactor at the receipt of it But this offer as I have been informed by our authors Son John Casaubon a Chirurgion of Canterbury he scorned to accept tho his condition was then mean At the same time it was proposed by the said Greaves who belonged to the library at S. James that if our author would gratifie him in the foregoing request Cromwell would restore unto him all his Fathers books which were then in the Royal Library there given by K. James who had invited him into England and withal a Patent for 300 l. per an to be paid to the family so long as the youngest Son of Dr. Is Casaubon should live but this also was refused Not long after there was a proposal made by the then Sweedish Ambassador in England from Christina Qu. of Sweedland to our author M. Casaubon whereby he was invited by the said Queen into her Country to have the government of one or inspection of all her Universities and for an encouragement she proposed not only an honorable Salary for himself but offered to settle 300 l. per an upon his eldest Son during life But this also was waved with full design to spend the remainder of his days in England After the Kings return he was restored to his Spiritualities and went on in writing books which he continued almost to his last He was a general Scholar but not extraordinary in any one sort unless in criticisms wherein his Fathers notes might probably have set him up He was also a religious man loyal to his Prince exemplary in his life and conversation and very charitable to the poor The Writings and Translations which he published were many as the Catalogue following will tell you Pietas contra maledicos patrii nominis religionis hostes Lond. 1621. oct Vindicatio patris adversus impostores qui librum ineptum impium De origine idolatriae nuper sub Isaaci Casauboni nomine publicavit Lond. 1624. 25. in 8. sh in qu.

Parish in the suburb of Oxon the Hostes of which was one of his perswasion where he ended his days He was esteemed by all especially by those of his opinion a learned Man well vers'd in the Poets of a quiet disposition and gentile behaviour which made him therefore respected and his company to be desired by certain Scholars of the University especially by Tho. Masters and other ingenious men of New Coll. But this their civility to and esteem of him was not while the Presbyterians governed who made it a most dreadful and damnable thing to be seen in the company of Papists especially of Romish Priests but before the rebellion broke forth upon their account when then the Men of the Church of England had a respect for Papists as they now have for Presbyterians The things that this Father hath written are The judgment of an University man concerning Mr. Will.

Langbaine and a severe discipline he became a noted Disputant and at length through several advances Fellow of the said College In 1642 he was actually created Master of Arts and soon after Oxford being garrison'd he became Master of the Grammar School at Tetbury in Glocestershire After the surrender of the Garrison he returned to his College and became a noted Tutor and Preacher and in 1657 he was admitted Bach. of Divinity Soon after he was made Principal of S. Edm. Hall so that whereas from the surrender of the said Garrison and before there were very few or no Students in that House only some of Queens Coll. that lodged there he by his diligence and severe government made it flourish equal with if not beyond any Hall in Oxon.

severe Puritans and under a puritanical discipline And being esteemed a plain honest man a Person of great integrity and profound in the Law he was entertained by both as well loyal as Presbyterian parties In 1643 he took the Covenant and as I have been often informed he appeared several times with other Lay-persons among the Assembly of Divines He was then in great esteem with the Parliament and was employed by the members thereof as to his counsel about several matters particularly in the reducing the Garrison of Oxford to their service who as a Lawyer was added to the Commissioners appointed by them to treat with those appointed by the King And in that capacity he did good service by advising them especially Fairfax the Generalissimo to have in his eye a preservation of that place Oxon so famous for learning from ruin Afterwards tho the loss of the blessed K. Ch. 1. was a great grief to him yet he took the oath called the Engagement and thereby was the more enabled to plead and practice his profession In Jan. 1651. he with Will.

Jan. the same year and in Ap. 1660 he was elected one of the Knights for Glocestershire to serve in that Parliament called the Healing and blessed Parliament which began at the same place on the 25 of the said month Which Parliament calling the King home from his Exile he was soon after made Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer and Knighted In the month of May 1671 he was upon the death of Sir John Keeling advanced to the place of L.

Heylyn Fellow of that House by whose directions and conversation he improved himself much in several sorts of learning In 1636 just after his Majest had left Oxon where he had been splendidly entertained by the members of the University and by the Archbishop at S. Johns Coll he was among other Persons of honor actually created Master of Arts being then esteemed a Person of good parts and in hopes to do the State service In the beginning of the Long Parliament of which he was a member he became one of the eminent Darlings of the People as being a Person discontented and therefore was appointed one of the Committee to prepare a charge against the most noble and eminently conspicuous Thomas Earl of Strafford 11. Nov. 1640 and appointed one of the managers of the evidence against him But upon a discovery of the unjust practices against him he became his Advocate tho all the advantage he got by it was that he lost his own esteem both among the House of Commons and among the Faction From that time he became their declared enemy by being a bold friend of truth and justice which he shewed in a Speech at the passing of the Bill of Attainder against the said Earl 21. Apr. 1641 ordered to be burnt as I shall tell you anon and therefore was posted up by some in the head of those called Straffordians He was also a friend to the Bishops and their function when both were called into question about that time and a zealous enemy to the Covenant All which do appear in speeches uttered in good language and sweetness On the 10. of June 1641. he was expell'd the House of Commons not only for exceptions taken by them for words spoken concerning an oath which Colonel G. Goring confessed he had taken to be secret to saying he was a perjur'd Person but because he was the day before made a Baron and introduced into the upper House the very same 10. of June In the beginning of January following he went on a message from his Maj. to Kingston upon Thames to certain Gentlemen there some say to give Coll. Tho. Lundsford a visit in a Coach with 6 horses and no other equipage with him save only a servant riding by him and a Companion in a Coach But his appearance there being represented to the Parliament as in a warlike manner and every Coach horse reckoned for a Troop the House of Commons made a complaint thereof on the 10. of the same month to the House of Lords Whereupon it being voted that he then took up Arms for his Majesty he was proclaimed Traitor banished and made the publick hatred of the Puritans or Presbyterians But the King soon after leaving the Parliament because of their desperate proceedings he drew by degrees many Lords and Commons after him together with this Lord from beyond the Seas and therefore he was excepted by the Parliament in a treaty of peace with the King at Oxon in the latter end of the year 1642. In 1643 he was made one of the Secretaries of State to his Majesty and high Steward of this University in the place of Will Lord Say who adher'd to the Parliament and in the next year he would have been question'd for an Incendiary by the Parliament sitting at Oxon because of a Mutiny that hapned among the Soldiers of the Garrison there but it was dissolved before the members could do any thing in the matter In the latter end of 1645 he being then a stirring active man he went into Ireland where he did good service for his Majesty and underwent great hazards of his life but upon the declining of the Kings cause he left that place and on the 24. of Oct. 1648 he was exempted from pardon by the Parliament Afterwards upon the death of his Father he became Earl of Bristow and Knight of the Garter being then in exile beyond the Seas suffering much by the loss of his Estate After the Kings return he was restored to what he had lost and the year after was installed with others Knight of the said Order became a frequent Speaker in Parliaments and an enemy to Clarendon while he was Lord Chancellour Under his name were printed these things following Several Speeches as 1 Speech in Parl. 9.

Ch. from Westminster School 1617 aged 17 years or thereabouts left the University without a degree or being matriculated otherwise I might have spoken of his Parentage and was taken into the retinew of Mr. Howard one of the sons of Tho. Earl of Arundel he being then a R. Catholick At length he went beyond the Seas and settling for a time in a certain University there took the degree as t is said of Doctor of Law for by that name or title he was written when he borrowed an old MS. copy of L. Apuleius from Archb. Lauds MSS. in Bodlies Library Afterwards he returned into England where continuing for some time he went into Ireland and was taken into the service of Tho. Earl of Strafford L. Lieutenant of that Realm and then became acquainted with Dr. Usher the learned and religious Primat thereof But the said most noble Count being brought into trouble and question'd by the Parliament in 1640 he returned into England and published certain Pamphlets for the Kings cause but what the titles of them are I could never learn certain it is that he for so doing was cast into prison and remained there for some time Afterwards being enlarged he went beyond the Seas and at length into Italy about 1652 and setling in Florence was received into the Court of Cosmo the great Duke of Tuscany who made him Supervisor of his Medals yet enjoyed little health there and much solitude

Dedicated to the supreme authority of the Nation the Parliament of England He had a son of both his names sometimes a Communer of Wadham Coll. afterwards M.

MARCHAMONT NEDHAM was born in a Market Town called Burford in Oxfordshire in the month of Aug. 1620 and on the 21. of the said month received baptisme there He was son of a Father of both his names born of gentile parents in Derbyshire sometimes Bach. of Arts of S. Johns Coll. and Gloc. Hall afterwards an Attendant on the Lady Elizab. Lucas Sister to John Lord Lucas and Wife of Sir Will. Walter of Sarsden near Burford before mention'd by Margery his Wife Daughter of John Collier the Host of the George inn then the principal place for the reception of Guests in Burford But the said Father dying in the year following the Mother was the next year after that scil in 1622 married to Christoph Glynn Vicar of the said Town and Master of the Free-school there which Glynn perceiving his Son-in-law to have very pregnant parts did take him under his tuition and spared not to encourage his forwardness At about 14 years of age he was sent to All 's Coll. where being made one of the Choristers continued there till 1637 at which time he took the degree of Bach. of Arts. So that being not capable of keeping that place any longer because inconsistent with his degree he retired to S. Maries Hall for a time At length being invited to London he had confer'd upon him an Ushers place in Merchant Taylors School then presided by one Mr. Will. Staple but how long he continued there I cannot justly tell Sure it is that upon the change of the times he became an under-clerk in Greys inn where by vertue of a good legible court-hand he obtained a comfortable subsistance Soon after siding with the rout and scum of the people he made them weekly sport by railing at all that was noble in his intelligence called Merc. Britan. wherein his endeavours were to sacrifice the fame of some Lord or person of Quality nay of the King himself to the beast with many heads Diego writeth that Barcaeus meeting with the Devil sitting at his ease upon a chair bid him rise up and give place to his betters The tale was moraliz'd in Britanicus who might very well have challenged the precedency of Satan and to have thrust him out of his chair the seat of the scornful wherein he sate several years and out-railed all the Shimies and Rabsekehs and out-lyed all the Simmeasses and Psedolusses that ever sate in that chair So that this Nedham being become popular and an active man in person among the rout he was commonly called Capt. Nedham of Greys inn and what he said or wrot was looked upon as Gospel About that time he studied Physick followed the chymical way and in 1645 began to practice it and by that and his writing maintained himself in very gentile fashion But so it was that whether by his imprisonment in the Gatehouse for his aspersions of his Majesty in the opening or explaining his Cabinet Letters an 1645 or for some scorn or affronts put upon him he forthwith left the blessed cause and obtaining the favour of a known Royallist to introduce him into his Majesties presence at Hampton-court an 1647 he then and there knelt before him and desired forgiveness for what he had written against him and his cause which being readily granted he kiss'd his Majesties hand and soon after wrot Mercurius Pragmaticus which being very witty satyrical against the Presbyterians and full of Loyalty made him known to and admired by the Bravadoes and Wits of those times But he being narrowly sought after left London and for a time sculk'd at Minster Lovel near Burford in Oxfordsh in the house there of Dr. Pet. Heylyn At length being found out imprison'd in Newgate and brought into danger of his life Lenthall the Speaker of the House of Commons who knew him and his Relations well and John Bradshaw President of the High Court of Justice treated him fairly and not only got his pardon but with promise of rewards and places perswaded him to change his stile once more meaning for the Independents then carrying all before them So that being brought over he wrot Merc. Politicus so extream contrary to the former that the generality for a long time especially the most generous Royallists could not believe that that intelligence could possibly be written by the same hand that wrot the M. Pragmaticus The truth is these last were written for about an year and an half and were endeavoured by the Parliamenteers to be stifled but the former the Politici which came out by authority and flew every week into all parts of the Nation for more than 10 years had very great influence upon numbers of inconsiderable persons such who have a strange presumption that all must needs be true that is in print He was then the Goliah of the Philistines the great Champion of the late Usurper whose pen in comparison of others was like a

Maries Hall holy orders and then became Vicar of Almeley in Herefordshire where he preached twice every Sunday but the Chancellour of the Dioc. commanding him to turn his afternoons Sermon into a Catechisme Lecture he upon that occasion setled himself to study the second Commandment more elaborately and industriously than before he had done and so became dissatisfied concerning Episcopacy and the Ceremonies of the Church Afterwards being troubled in the Bishops Court for Nonconformity he did by consent leave Almeley and lived about three years in a small Peculiar exempt from Episcopal Jurisdiction called Longdon in Shropshire where continuing till the Rebellion began he sided with the Presbyterians afterwards with the Independents and became Pastor to a Congregational Church at Duckenfield in Cheshire Thence removing into Ireland about 1650 at which time he took the Engagement he became Minister of Carickfergus there and much resorted to by Presb. and Independents After the restauration of his Maj. Ch. 2 he was silenc'd and thereupon removing to his hired house called the Grange near Carickfergus carried on the trade of preaching in private whereby he gained a comfortable subsistance In 1668 he removed to Dublin took charge of a Church of Dissenters there as Colleague with Sam.

Magd. by the presentation of Sir Will. Portman Bt and Rob. Hill Gent. After his settlement in that Vicaridg he behaved himself conformible for a time but upon the breaking out of the rebellion he sided with the Presbyterians having alwaies been puritanically educated preached against the K. and his followers when Taunton was garrison'd for the Parliament and became a mighty man in that interest and much followed and adored by factious people In 1654. he was by ordinance appointed one of the Assistants to the Commissioners for the ejecting of such whom the godly party called scandalous ignorant and insufficient Ministers and Schoolmasters in which employment he sufficiently gave an helping hand to the undoing of many loyal persons and afterwards by his and the preaching of other Presbyterians and Independents who ridiculously make preaching only their religion the said Town of Taunton became the most factious place in all the Nation In 1662 about S. Bartholmews day he was deprived of his Vicaridg for Nonconformity and for the present that place was supplied by Mr. Thom. James fellow of All 's Coll. in Oxon much frequented by the loyal party there and by the Gentry adjoyning Afterwards our author Newton preaching in several Conventicles very seditiously he was seised on imprison'd for several years and justly suffer'd as a mover of sedition He hath written and published An exposition with notes unfolded and applyed on Joh. 17 delivered in sermons preached weekly on the Lords day in the Congregration in Taunton Magdelene Lond. 1660 in a pretty large fol.

Apr. 1617 spent some time in the condition of a Sojourner in Oxon. 1633. and after but his natural Geny to Astronomy and Mathematicks was so predominant that little or nothing of Logic and Philosophy could take place in him Afterwards he retired to his Patrimony prosecuted his genius which was assisted by Will. Milbourne Curate at Bransepeth near Durham and by the name of George Naworth Wharton of West-Awckland published Almanacks But being soon discontented at the then growing rebellion he turn'd all his inheritance into money espous'd his Majesties cause and interest and raised a gallant Troop of horse therewith After
72 persons Members of the House of Commons Officers of the Army and Citizens of London sate upon benches some degrees above one another as Judges Hacker I say by order of the Court which was erected in the same place where the Judges of the Kings-bench use to hear causes brought his Majesty to a velvet chair opposite to the President at which time John Cook the Sollicitor General was placed on the Kings right hand I shall pretermit the Judges names the formality of the Court and the proceedings there by way of charge as also his Majesties replies in regard all those particulars have been published at large by several writers Nor indeed was much to be observed seeing his Majesty having heard the allegations against him would sometimes smile but not acknowledge their jurisdiction or that by any known law they had any authority to proceed in that manner against the King it being without example also whereupon the Court made no farther proceedings on that day Afterwards his Majesty was conveyed to Cotton house where Sir Tho. Cotton the Master thereof and Mr. Kinnerslie of the Wardrobe did make the best accommodation they could in so short a time in the Kings Chamber The Soldiers that were upon the Guard were in the very next Chamber to that of the King which his Majesty perceiving he commanded Mr. Herbert to bring his pallet and place it on one side of the Kings bed which he did and there slept Sunday the 21. of Jan. Dr. Will. Juxon the good Bishop of London had as his Majesty desired the Liberty to attend the King which was much to his comfort and as he said no small refreshing to his spirit especially in that his uncomfortable condition The most part of that day was spent in prayer and preaching to the King Munday 22. Jan. Col. Hacker brought his Majesty the second time before the Court then sitting as formerly in Westminster Hall Now the more noble the person is the more heavy is the spectacle and inclines generous hearts to a sympathy in his sufferings Here it was otherwise for assoon as his Majesty came into the Hall some Soldiers made a hideous cry for justice justice some of the Officers joyning with them At which noise the King seemed somewhat abashed but overcame it with patience Sure to persecute a distressed soul and to vex him that is already wounded at the heart is the very pitch of wickedness yea the utmost extremity malice can do or affliction suffer as the learned Bishop of Winchester Bilson saith in one of his Sermons preached before Qu. Elizabeth upon Good Friday which was here very applicable As his Majesty returned from the Hall to Cotton house a Soldier that was upon the Guard said aloud as the King passed by God bless you Sir The King thank'd him but an uncivil Officer struck him with his cane upon the head which his Majesty observing said The punishment exceeded the offence Being come to his apartment in Cotton house he immediatly fell upon his knees and went to prayer which being done he asked Mr. Herbert if he heard the cry of the Soldiers in Westminster hall for justice he answer'd he did and marvell'd much at it So did not I said the King for I am well assur'd the Soldiers bare no malice towards me the cry was no doubt given by their Officers for whom the Soldiers would do the like if there were occasion His Majesty likewise demanded of him how many there were that sate in the Court and who they were he replied there were upward of threescore some of them members of the House of Commons others Commanders in the Army and others Citizens of London some of whom he knew but not all The King then said he viewed all of them but knew not the faces of above eight and those he named The names tho Mr. Herbert told me not yet they were generally supposed to be Thomas Lord Grey of Grobie William L. Monson Sir Henry Mildmay Sir John Danvers Oliver Cromwell who had shew'd seeming civility to him at Childerlie Newmarket and Hampton Court Major Harrison Lieut. Gen. Tho. Hammond c. Tuesday 23. Jan. The King was the third time summoned and as formerly guarded to the Court where as at other times he persisted in his judgment that they had no legal jurisdiction or authority to proceed against him Upon which Cook the Solicitor began to offer some things to the President of the Court but was gently interrupted by the King laying his staff upon the Solicitors arme the head of which being silver hapned to fall off which Mr. Herbert who as his Majesty appointed waited near his Chair stoop'd to take it up but falling on the contrary side to which he could not reach the King took it up himself This was by some looked upon as a bad Omen But whereas Mr. Herbert puts this passage under the 22 of Jan. is a mistake for it hapned on the first day of the Trial when the charge was read against the King The Court sate but a little time that day the K. not varying from his principle At his going back to Cotton house there were many men and women crouded into the passage behind the Soldiers who as his Majesty pass'd said aloud God almighty preserve your Majesty for which the King returned them thanks Saturday 27. Jan. The President came into the Hall and seated himself in his Scarlet Gown whereupon the K. having quick notice of it he forthwith went seated himself in his chair and observing the President in his red Gown did imagine by that sign that it would be the last day of their sitting and therefore he earnestly press'd the Court that altho he would not acknowledge their jurisdiction for those reasons he had given yet nevertheless he desired that he might have a conference in the Painted Chamber with a Committee of Lords and Commons before the Court proceeded any farther whereupon the President and Court arose and withdrew In which interval the K. likewise retired to Cotton house where he and Dr. Juxon were private near an hour and then Colonel Hunks gave notice that the Court was sate The King therefore going away he seated himself in the Chair The President told his Majesty that his motion for a conference with a Committee of Lords and Commons had been taken into consideration but would not be granted by the Court in regard he would not own their jurisdiction nor acknowledge them for a lawful assembly Whereupon the King with vehemency insisted that his reasonable request might be granted that what he had to offer to a Committee of either House might be considered before they pronounced sentence His Majesty had the former day mov'd the President that the grounds and reasons he had put in writing for his disavowing their authority might be publickly read by the Clerk but neither would that desire be granted The President then gave judgment against the King who at the Presidents pronouncing it
1667 at which time William Albert Count of Dona Embassador from Sweedland was here in England was broken and thereupon an alliance was made with France In which act we are to thank Henry Coventry Secretary of State for his pains if his own affirmation may be credited when he went into Sweedland 1671. In the same Session of Parliament Shaftesbury had a principal hand in promoting and establishing the Test to render Papists uncapable of publick employments And this he did as 't is thought because he perceiving the Court to be sick of him provided himself by having a hand therein with a retreat to the favour and applause of the populacy On the 9. of Nov. 1673 he being then President of his Majesties Council for trade and plantations the Great Seal was taken from him by the endeavours of James Duke of York who found him untractable and not fit according to moderation for that high place or as another tells us for his zeal and activity in promoting the Bill for the aforesaid Test and thereupon he grew much discontented and endeavoured several times to make a disturbance On the 16. of Feb. 1676 he with George Duke of Buckingham James Earl of Salisbury and Philip Lord Wharton were sentenced by the H. of Lords to be committed Prisoners to the Tower under the notion of contempt for that they refused a recantation for what the day before was spoken by them viz. that Buckingham just after the King had ended his Speech to both Houses at their then meeting endeavouring to argue from Law and reason that the long prorogation was null'd and that the Parliament was consequently dissolved was seconded by Salisbury Shaftesbury and Wharton For which reason I say and for endeavouring to raise sedition they were sent to the Tower Buckingham Salisbury and Wharton were by petition to his Majesty freed thence in the beginning of May following but Shaftesbury remained there till the beginning of Dec. next ensuing notwithstanding he before Jun. 22. an 1677 had moved for a Habeas Corpus to the Kings Bench which was granted yet the Judges declared they could not release him In Sept. 1678 upon the breaking out of the Popish Plot he became head of the factious party who making it more terrible than 't was endeavoured all ways imaginable to promote their interest thereby To stop Shaftesbury's mouth therefore and so consequently please his party his Majesty vouchsafed to constitute him Lord President of his Privy Council consisting then but of 30 21. Apr. 1679 but he shewing himself too busie and forward and little or not at all to keep pace with the Kings moderate humour he was laid aside on the 5 of Octob. following and was succeeded in that honorable office by John Lord Roberts who behaving himself much like a Gentleman was soon after created Earl of Radnor After this Shaftesbury plays his old game by recurring to the People remov'd into the City and to vent his spleen became the most bitter enemy in the H. of Lords against the Duke of York especially at that time 15. of Nov. 1680 when William Lord Russell eldest Son of William Earl of Bedford did in the head of more than 200 of the House of Commons carry up a Bill to the House of Lords for the disinheriting the said Duke of the Imperial Crown of Britaine Then and there I say he was so heated with passion being excellently well opposed in what he then said by George Earl of Halyfax that he talked almost all the time being ten of the Clock at night before they gave over But all that he then and afterwards said effecting nothing he wrot or caused to be written abusive Pamphlets and endeavoured with others by an Association to depose the King in case he and his Parliament held at Oxon in Mar. 168â— should disagree which he fully expected But his trayterous designs being discovered he was seized on in his House in London by one of his Majesties Serjeants at armes on the 2. Jul. 1681 examined by the Council the K. being then present and forthwith was committed close Prisoner to the Tower for High Treason in compassing and imagining the death of the King and endeavouring to depose him from his Crown and Dignity and to raise armes to that purpose On the 24. of Nov. following there was a Bill of indictment of High Treason against him read before his Majesties Commissioners of Oyer and Terminer in the Sessions-house in the Old Baylie London and afterwards proved by several sufficient Witnesses but the fanatical Jury pack'd on purpose by the then fanatical Sheriffs Tho. Pilkington and Sam. Shute they returned the Bill Ignoramus and so forthwith Shaftesbury was set at liberty Upon which deliverance the seditious party made Bonefires and caused a medal to be cast of which medal Dryden the Poet Laureat made a witty Poem In Octob. 1682 when Dudley North and Pet. Rich the loyal Sheriffs of London were sworn a Warrant was issued out against to apprehend him Whereupon he sculk'd for a time till an opportunity wafted him over the Seas to Holland where he remained to the time of his death He hath written divers things of which these are some The fundamental constitutions of Carolina Lond. in 7. sh in fol.

Johns Parish within the City of Dublin on the tenth day of July an 1614 became a Fellow Commoner of Magd. Coll. in 1630 or thereabouts continued there under the tuition of a careful Tutor three years or more and having laid a sure foundation in literature to advance his knowledg in greater matters he returned to his native Country for a time In 1640 he was elected Knight for Radnorshire to serve in that Parliment which began at Westm 3. Nov. 1640 but his election being questioned Charles Price Esq then elected also was voted by the Committee of Elections to stand as more lawfully elected yet soon after he left that Parliament and followed the K. to Oxon where he sate in that called by his Majesty In the time of the rebellion our author Annesley was entrusted by both Houses of Parliament or appointed by them one of the Commissioners for the ordering and governing the affairs in Ireland an 1645 or thereabouts and became instrumental there to preserve the British and Protestant Interest Country and Garrisons from being swallowed up by Owen Oneill's barbarous Army or falling into the body of Irish hands c. Afterwards he went into England complied with the Parliament Ol. Cromwell and his party took the Oath called the Engagement as before he had the Covenant But when he saw that K. Ch. 2. would be restored to his Kingdoms he then when he perceived that it could not be hindred struck in and became instrumental for the recalling of him home as many of his perswasion did and thereupon they soothed themselves up and gave it out publickly that they were as instrumental in that matter as the best of the Royal party nay they stuck not to say that if it was not by their endeavours his Majesty would not have been restored At that time he was made a Privy Counsellour and to shew his zeal for his Majesties cause he procured himself to be put in among the number of those Justices or Judges to sit first at Hicks-hall and afterwards at the Old Bayly on the Regicides where one of them named Adrian Scrope did reflect upon him as 't was by all there present supposed and of others too as having before been misled as well as himself as I have told you in Anthony E. of Shaftsbury under the year 1682. In the year following 1661 a little before his Majesties Coronation he was by Letters Pat. bearing date on the 20 of Apr. created a Baron of this Kingdom by the title of Lord Annesley of Newport-Paynel in Bucks of which Town one Thom Annesley Great Uncle to Sir Franc. Annesley before mention'd had been High Constable as also a Count by the title of Earl of Anglesey as comming more near to his name than another place or Town Afterwards he enjoying certain Offices of trust was at length made Lord Privy Seal about the middle of Apr. 1673 and kept it till Aug. 1682 at which time he was deprived of it some have thought unjustly for several reasons as I shall anon tell you whereupon retiring to his Estate at Blechingdon in Oxfordshire which he some years before had purchased vindicated himself by writing an account of the whole proceeding of that affair as I shall tell you by and by He was a person very subtle cunning and reserv'd in the managery and transacting his affairs of more than ordinary parts and one who had the command of a very smooth sharp and keen Pen. He was also much conversant in books and a great Calvinist but his known countenance and encouragement given to persons of very different perswasions in matters of Religion hath left it somwhat difficult at least in some mens judgments peremptorily to determine among what sort of men as to point of Religion he himself ought in truth to have been ranked Yet it is to be observed that he did not dispense his favours with an equal hand to all these the dissenting party having still received the far largest share of them who did all along generally esteem him and his interest securely their own especially after the Popish Conspiracy broke out when then out of policy he avoided and shook off his numerous acquaintance of Papists as it was notoriously observed by them and of other pretenders to Politicks meerly to save themselves and to avoid the imputation of being Popishly affected As for his published writings they are these The truth unvailed in behalf the Church of England c. being a vindication of Mr. Joh.

Ormonde therefore represented the case in writing to the King on the 17 of June following which being read openly before the Council then sitting at Hampton Court his Maj. declared that he would hear the matter thereof in Council and did order that a copy of the said Representation should be delivered to Anglesey and that he appear and make answer thereunto at a Council to be holden at Whitehall on the 23 of the said month In obedience to this Anglesey tho much troubled with the Gout appeared made a short speech to his Majesty in vindication of himself bandied the matter with Ormond and then put in his answer to Ormond's representation or complaint against him These things being done another Council was held 13 July at which time Ormond delivering a paper to the Board containing several charges against him it was then

Ch. there In the afternoon of the very same day that he died Dr. Tho. Barlow Provost of Qu. Coll did by the endeavours of the two Secretaries of State both formerly of his Coll. kiss his Majesties hand for that See and accordingly was soon after consecrated The said Dr. Fuller did once design to have written the Life of Dr. Joh. Bramhall sometimes Primate of Ireland and had obtained many materials in his mind for so doing wherein as in many things he did he would without doubt have quitted himself well as much to the instruction of the living as honor of the dead And therefore it was lamented by some that any thing should divert him from doing so acceptable service But the providence of God having closed up his much desired life has deprived us of what he would have said of that most worthy Prelate See in the beginning of the said Dr. Bramhall's Life written by Joh. L. Bish of Limerick Lond. 1677. fol. WALTER BLANDFORD son of a father of both his names was born at Melbury Abbats in Dorsetshire became a Servitour or poor Scholar of Ch.

Raymond In thâ— beginning of July 1688 he and Sir Joh. Powell another Just of the same Bench did receive their Quietus from K.

Bridgman the Dean and all the members of the Cathedral habited in their Albes received a blessing from his Lordship sung Te Deum and so compassing the Choir in manner of procession conveyed him to his chair This was on the eleventh of the said month of Sept. a day not to be forgotten by all the true Sons of the Church of England tho curs'd then in private by the most rascally faction and crop-ear'd whelps of those parts who did their endeavours to make it a maygame and a piece of foppery After his Lordship had made some continuance there and was highly caress'd and entertained by noble and generous spirits he return'd to London fell sick and died in his house in Aldersgate-street on the 29 of Nov. an 1661 to the great reluctancy of all learned and loyal persons On the 5 of Dec. following he was buried in the south side of the Cathedral Church of S.

Here awaiteth the sound of the last trump Brian Walton Lord Bishop of Chester Reader look for no farther epitaph on him whose very name was epitaph enough Nevertheless if thou lookest for a larger and louder one consult the vocal oracles of his fame and not of this dumb marble For let me inform thee if it be not a shame to be ignorant this was he that with the first brought succour and assistance to the true Church sick and fainting under the sad pressure of persecution This was he that fairly wiped of those foul and contumelious aspersions cast upon her pure and spotless innocence by those illiterate and Clergy-trampling Schismaticks This was he that brought more light and lustre to the true reformed Church here establish'd whilst maugre the malice of those hellish Machinators he with more earnest zeal and indefatigable labour than any carried on and promoted the printing of that great Bible in so many Languages So that the Old and New Testament may well be his monument which he erected with no small expence of his own Therefore he little needs the pageantry of pompous titles emblazoned or displayed in Heralds books whose name is written in the book of life He died on S. Andrews Eve in the 62 year of his age in the first year of his consecration and in the year of our Lord God 1661. This worthy person Dr. Walton hath written besides Bibl.

Paul in Covent Garden within the Liberty of Westminster in the Parish of which he had before lived several years CREATIONS The Creations this year were made in all faculties especially in that Creation called by some the Fairfaxian Creation that is that Creation which was made when the Lord Fairfax Generalissimo of the Parliam Army and his Lieut. Gen. Cromwell were created Doctors of Law and when others afterwards were created by the said Generals nomination when he was entertained by the then Members of the University Bach. of Arts. May 19. Robert Scrope lately made Fellow of Linc. Coll. by the Visitors was then actually created Bach. of Arts being done in the same Convocation that Fairfax and Cromwell were created Doctors of the Civil Law as I shall tell you by and by He was a younger son of Adrian Scrope of Wormesley in Oxfordshire Esq sometimes a Gent. Com. of Hart Hall and afterwards a noted Puritan which made him take up Arms for the blessed Cause in the beginning of the Presbyterian Rebellion in which being first a Captain was at length a Colonel of a Regiment of Horse When K. Ch. 1. of ever blessed memory was tried for his life by a pack of Hell-Hounds this person sate and was one of his Judges in that dismal Tragedy and afterwards signed the bloody Warrant for severing his head from his body Just after his Majesties restauration Sir Rich. Browne soon after elected L. Mayor of Lond. did accidentally meet him in the Speakers Chamber to whom I suppose he came to surrender himself upon his Maj. Proclamation and when the said R. Browne was acquainted who he was he drew up and said to him What a sad case have we brought this Kingdom unto Whereupon Scrope answer'd Why Saith Browne then Do you not see how it is ruined now the King is murthered c. To which Scrope made answer I will not make you my Confessor or words to the same effect All which being witnessed against him at his Tryal as words to justifie what he had done Browne being then L. Mayor elect were the chief Cause of his Execution otherwise as 't was then thought he would only have suffer'd perpetual imprisonment and the loss of his Estate as many others of the same Gang did He suffer'd by hanging drawing and quartering with Tho. Scot Greg. Clement and Joh. Jones at Charing Cross on the 17 of Octob. 1660 Whereupon his Quarters were not hanged up as others were but given to his Relations to be buried His death was then much pityed by many because he was a comely person beg'd the Prayers of all good people and that he was of a noble and antient family being descended from the Scropes Barons of Bolton After his death were printed under his name his Speech and Prayer spoken at the Gallows May 31. Aubrey Thompson of Qu. Coll. He was then created by the favour of Fairfax and Cromwell lately in Oxon. Jul. 14. Franc. Blackwall an Assistant to or an Officer about a Captain in the Parl. Army He is stiled in the common Register Optimae indolis eruditionis Adolescens In 1657 I find one Capt. Blackwall to be Treasurer of the Army whether the same I cannot tell Mar. 14. Edw. Reynolds lately of Merton now of Magdalen Coll. He was about this time made Fellow of Magd. Coll. by the Visitors See among the Doct. of Div. an 1676. 20. Brook Bridges of Glâ—c Hall lately a Student of Trin. Coll. in Cambr. He was son of Coll. John Bridges Governour of Warwick and was about this time made Fellow of New Coll. by the Visitors Bach. of Law Jun. 5. Vnton Croke a Captain in the Parl. Army was then created by vertue of a Dispensation from the Delegates of the University This person who was son of Vnton Croke of Merston near Oxon Counsellour at Law descended from the antient family of the Crokes of Chilton in Bucks had been made a Captain or at least a Lieutenant for his ventrous service done in seizing on and carrying away with his party to Abendon Garrison where he was a Soldier many horses belonging to the Royalists of Oxford Garrison while they were grazing in the meadows joyning on the east side to Magd. Coll. He was afterwards a Major and in 1658 made High Sheriff of Oxfordshire by Richard and his Council and soon after a Colonel of a Regiment of Horse This is the Gentleman who became infamous to the Royalists and all true generous Hearts for his falsness in denying and breaking the Articles which he had made with the truly loyal Col. Joh. Penruddock when he and his party were taken by him and his at South Molton in Devonshire 15 March 1654 after they had retreated from Salisbury where they first rose at which time they endeavour'd but in vain to redeem the Kingdom from Slavery and Tyranny For this Service done by Croke his father was called to the degree of Serjeant at Law by Oliver by a Writ bearing date 21 of June following and he himself if I mistake not to that of Major of a Reg. of Horse After his Majesties restauration when he and his Reg. were disbanded he was shun'd and hated by Gentlemen and Royallists where he abode whether in Dâ—vonshire from whence he married his wife at Cheddington in Bucks in Oxford or at the Wick in the Parish of Hedington near Oxon or elsewhere He is now or at least was lately living in a gouty condition at or near London He has a younger brother named Charles Croke sometimes Com. of Ch.

Cromwell was after his Majesties restauration made a Baronet and elected several times a Parliament-man in that Kingdom He had an elder brother called Henry who was also made Fellow of All 's Coll. by the Visitors and another elder than he named John who was by King Ch. 2. made Baron of Kingston in the same Kingdom Jan. 18. Peter Pett of All 's Coll. was admitted by vertue of an Order from the said Delegates Besides the three before mention'd Rowl Hunt who had been lately made Fellow of the said Coll was created also this year which is all I know of him only that he was a Salopian born Mast of Arts. Those that were created this year Masters of Arts were mostly Officers that attended Fairfax the General and Cromwell his
head of a considerable party of desperate Phanaticks near to Daventry in Northamptonshire to hinder if possibly it might be not only the said Settlement but Restauration of the King he the said Col. Ingoldesbie did with his own Regiment and some other Troops and Companies of Foot such as he could confide in draw towards him and about the 23 of Apr. making an Onset took Lambert with his own hands while the other prime Officers were taken by others of Ingoldesbie's party c. Whereupon for this his good service his Majesty did not only spare his life as having been one of his fathers Judges but gave order that he should be made a Knight of the Bath at his Coronation which accordingly was done Afterwards he retired to Lethenborough lived several years after in a quiet repose and died in the beginning of Sept. 1685. Before which time his Estate at Lethenborough was as it was then reported sold to Elianor Gwynn for the use of her natural son which she had by K. Ch. 2. called Sir Charles Beaucleer Earl of Burford and afterwards Duke of S. Albans This Col. Ingoldesbie was elder brother to Henry Ingoldesbie a Colonel also in the Parliam Army and to Thomas a Captain c. May 19. Col. John Hewson a Colonel of Foot was also presented by Proct. Zanchy and by him conducted to his place among the other Officers He was sometimes an honest Shoomaker in Westminster but getting little by that trade he in the beginning of the grand rebellion went out a Captain upon the account of the blessed cause was very zealous for it fought on stoutly and in time became a Colonel When K. Ch. 1. was by the godly brethren brought to trial for his life he sate as one of the Judges consented to the sentence passed upon him and sealed and subscribed the warrant for his execution Afterwards for his said service he became Governour of Dublin one of the Council of State in July 1653 a member of the Little or Barebones Parliament held the same year and of all the Parliaments since before his Majesties restauration a Knight also of the new stamp and at length one of Olivers Lords to have a negative voice in the Other House Upon an infallible foresight of the turn of the times he conveyed himself away into Holland to save his neck and soon after died and was buried at Amsterdam about 1662 as the vulgar report went at that time Colonel John Okey was another great Officer that was then also presented by Proct. Zanchy May 19. and by him conducted to the rest His parentage was as mean as his calling having been originally as 't is supposed a Dray-man afterwards a Stroaker in a Brew-house at Islington near London and then a poor Chandler near Lyon-Key in Thamestreet in London At length changing his Apron for a Buff-coat he became thro certain military degrees a Col. of Dragoons and by the artifice of Cromwell had unknowing to him his name inserted among the Kings Judges and so consequently was by him appointed to sit among that diabolical crew which if he refus'd to do he knew full well it would displease Cromwell much and in the end contract prejudice against him This Fellow who was of greater bulk than brains and of more strength than wit or conscience left Cromwell when he saw that he aimed at the office of a single person sided with the Anab. and Fift-Monarchy-men and thereupon was committed to custody for a time and his Regiment taken from him and given to a great Creature of Ol. called Ch. L. Howard afterwards E. of Carlile At length upon a foresight of the return of Monarchy he fled into Holland and setling at Delfâ— in a very timorous condition under the name of Frederick Williamson because his fathers name was William with Miles Corbet and John Barkstead two other Regicides the last of which went by the name of Joh. Harman they were all seized upon in the beginning of March 1661 by the forward Endeavours of Sir George Downing his Majesties Envoy or Resident at the Hague by order from the States they being then in an Ale-house Soon after they were sent to England in the Blackamore Frigot and upon their arrival were committed Prisoners to the Tower of London Afterwards being convey'd to the Kings-bench Bar at Westm Hall to know what they could say for themselves why Execution should not pass upon them they were returned to the Tower again and on the 19 of April 1662 were all convey'd thence each in a Sledge to Tybourn and there hang'd drawn and quarter'd Afterwards Okey's quarters were instead of being hang'd on several gates of the City of London permitted by his Majesty's order to be inter'd by his Relations because he had behaved himself dutifully towards him in his last words at the Gallows Soon after were publish'd their Speeches and Prayers together with several passages at the time of their Execution at Tybourne with some due and sober animadversions on the said Speeches Lond. 1662. in 5 sh in qu. and A letter from Col. Barkstead Col. Okey and Mil. Corbet to their friends in their congregational Churches in Lond. with the manner of their apprehension Lond. 1662 in 1 sh in qu. But this last is a feigned thing and reflects upon Sir Geor. Downing as a Revolter from their Cause as indeed he was which afterwards was his advancement He was then a member of that Parl. which began at Westm 8 of May 1661 wherein acting much to the great dislike of those that took themselves to be the honest party of the House had this character given of him Sir Geor. Downing a poor child bred upon charity like Judas betray'd his Master What can his Country expect He drew and advised the Oath of renouncing the Kings family and took it first himself For his honesty fidelity c. he was rewarded by his Maj. with fourscore thousand pounds at least and is a Commissioner of the Customes the House-bell to call the Courtiers to vote at six of the clock at night an Exchecquer teller c. May 19. Geor. Sedascue Adjutant General of the Parliament Army was also then presented and took his place He had been a Cornet of Horse in the Expedition against the Rebels in Ireland 1641. 42. Col. Edward Grosvenour Quartermaster General of the said Army was presented and created M. of A. the same day In 1656 he was chose Burgess for Westminster to serve in that Parl. which began 17 of Sept. the same year he being then a favourite of Oliver and for the same place also to serve in Richards Parliament c. May 19. Owen Roe Scoutmaster General was also then created and conducted by Proctor Zanchy to the rest of the Officers He was originally a Silk-man and in the beginning of the Rebellion being a violent Covenantier and afterwards an Independent was by Oliver's interest made a prime Officer Lieut. Col. I think in the Militia of London and
Zanchy with a flattering speech in a most humble posture which being done he that then held the Chancellours Chair who all the time stood up bare admitted him with another flattering speech by his authority or rather observance Which being done Zanchy and the Beadles conducted him to his place next on the left hand to the Chancellours Chair This person also who had a greater name in his time than Fairfax had not only in England but throughout the whole World which he obtained more by policy dissimulation under the cloak of religion whether in prayer preaching discourse and action rather than valour must according to method have something said of him which shall with as much brevity as may be done because all Histories ring of his fame as well as infamy Born therefore he was in the Parish of S. John in the antient Borough of Huntingdon on the 24 of Apr. 1599 41. of Elizab. and was Christned in that Church on the 29 of the same month where Sir Oliver Cromwell his Uncle gave him his name His Father who lived in the same Town was Rob. Cromwell second Son of Sir Hen. Cromwell of Hinchingbrook in Huntingdonshire Kt. who died in 1603 His Mother was Elizabeth sister to Sir Thomas Son of Sir Richard Steward Kts whence 't was that when Oliver gaped after the Protectorship it was given out by those of his party that he was descended of the Royal Blood and had right to the Crown of England His said Mother Elizabeth lived to See her Son Lord Protector and dying in Whitehall 18. Nov. 1654 was buried in K. Hen. 7. Chappel at Westm where her body continuing till after his Majesties restoration was removed from that place 12. of Sept. 1661 and buried with other Cromwellian bodies in a pit dug in S. Margarets Church-yard adjoyning where it now resteth Oliver her Son was educated in Grammar learning in the Free-school at Huntingdon under one Dr. Tho. Beard a Minister in that Town and in Academical in Sidney Coll. in Cambridge but his Father dying while he was there he was taken home and sent to Lincolns Inn to study the Common Law but making nothing of it he was sent for home by his Mother became a Debauchee and a boysterous and rude Fellow At length being reformed and pretending to Saintship he married Elizabeth Daughter of Sir James Bouchier of Essex became heir to his Uncle his Mothers Brother spent the estate which was considerable took a Farm at S. Ives thrived not and therefore had intentions to go to New England a receptacle for Puritans and Nonconformists but that project taking not he removed to the Isle of Ely where he more frequently and publickly own'd himself a Teacher In 1640 he by the endeavours of one Rich. Tyms afterwards Alderman of Cambridge who had several times heard him preach at Ely was first made free of the Corporation of Cambridge then a Burgess thereof to sit in that unhappy Parliament which began at Westm 3. Nov. 1640. Soon after when the rebellion began towards which he gave a considerable helping hand he had a Commission given to him to be a Captain of Horse which he soon raised in his native Country and doing great service in those parts he soon after was made a Colonel and at length Lieutenant General to Edward Earl of Manchester who had the separate command in a distinct supremacy of the associated Counties Afterwards doing great service at Marston-moor near York after Sir Tho. Faâ—rfax and the Scots had been totally routed there Cromwell and his party of Curassiers being then in the left wing his atchievment was industriously cried up at Westminster and all the Grandees of Scriptural Ovation were fitted and accommodated thereunto Within 4 months after we find him in the second battle at Newbury in Beâ—ks where the fates favoured him again tho not with a complete victory yet on that side where he fought with a part of one and so much as endangered the Person of the King if the noble and stout Earl of Cleveland had not hazardously interposed and bore off the pursuit Soon after the Army being new modell'd Essex the General was laid aside as unfortunate and Sir Thomas Fairfax being put into his place Cromwell was made Lieutenant General of the same Army from which time he continued as Fairfax did victorious and upon all occasions did lull and bewitch with the syrene charmes of his zealous insinuations the said Fairfax to carry on his pernitious designs Afterwards we find him the chief person under the cloak of great dissimulation of hurrying the King from place to place of defaming him among the people and bringing him to judgment Which done he sat with the rest of the Judges on him stood up when sentence was passed and set his hand and seal to the warrant for his execution Soon after he being made one of the Council of State he was ordained Commander in chief or Lord Governour of Ireland in June 1649 conquer'd there returned and was made General of the Parliament Army upon Fairfax's laying down his Commission Afterwards he went into Scotland did some seats there against K. Ch. 2 but that King giving him the go-by he followed him into England encountred him at Worcester conquer'd his party and put him to flight Thence he went to London and was highly caressed by the Citizens and Parliament and soon after dissolving the Parliament he called another but that being not suitable to his designs he dissolv'd that and took upon him the Protectorship which he enjoyed during his life time Under his name were published Many Letters written to the Speaker of the House of Commons to the House of Commons Sir Thomas Fairfax Committees c. containing relations of skirmishes victories taking of Castles Towns c. as also some Speeches and Declarations c.
