AN ANSWER IN Just vindication of some religious and worthy Gentlemen of Pembrokeshire Against a scandalous Pamphlet published in print by one Iohn Poyer late Mayor of Pembroke Set forth by such as have been eye-witnesses of of the affairs of that County from the beginning of these unnaturall warres who love Truth and Justice hate Oppression and Falshood Auritis denis oculatum testibus unum Cur praefers audis nam Poyer ipse malè As also the Petition of Mr. Nathaniel Cradock a very godly Preacher to the Honourable Committee of the House of Commons in Parliament concerning plundered Ministers of intolerable abuses done him by the said John Poyer with severall Orders Certificates and Letters concerning that businesse London Printed 1646. To the Reader THe following Vindication was drawn up and finished within three dayes after sight of the Relation and was presently intended for the Presse but there being a rumour of a second part to be set forth by another hand within few dayes it was thought fit to expect that also for preventing trouble of a second Impression This second hath not yet appeared and therefore it is requisite no longer to defer the dis-abusing of them that have seen and read the Relation who by this time perchance have passed their verdict and taken all for granted because not gainsayed The Author of the Relation hath had notice of this Answer and the Reader is moved in arrest of Judgement to peruse the Vindication before sentence 'T is hoped this motion will easily be granted by the moderate Intelligencer who this week hath begunne to deliver his opinion in this matter upon hearing of one side It is presumed the case being truly stated and both parties with their proofs heard will both alter his opinion in this matter and keep him within the limits of moderation which is very much desired An Answer in just vindication of some Religious and Worthy Gentlemen of Pembrokeshire IN pursuance of the Relation as it lies this following Discourse must passe through these two Stages Truth and Impartiall Dealing both which are bawked by the Relator in every line so that if the Reader please to cast his eye upon the Relation first and then peruse this Vindication he will finde every thing in charge either convinced of untruth partiality or both It was long after the beginning of these unhappy differences betweene King and Parliament that the Marquesse of Hertford came to Carmarthen the Battell of Edghill being then fought in Octob. 1642. at which time the Gentry were by him first summoned to appeare nor were the Summons otherwise then by particular Letters directed only to some few Gentlemen of that County whereby it is evident no generall appearance was intended The Marquesse declared his Majesty had received Supplies of Men Armes and Money out of all other Shires of Wales except that County and therefore required the like Complyance To which answer was returned by the Sheriffe a discreet man now a Colonell in the Army and those few Gentlemen present That the Irish Rebels did daily infest their Coast and therefore neither men nor Armes could be spared and to the Money they pleaded losses by Sea and non ability With which Answer the Marquesse not satisfied commands the Sheriffe to summon the Country to Haverford where Contribution being motioned by the Sheriffe in pursuance of his Lordships Commands nothing was concluded all Parties declined and the Marquesse went for England That negotiation thus finished a calme continued severall months after nor was there any such labouring or intreaties for gayning parties to either side as the Relator pretends nor was there any party at all or division for a long time after nor any Commission of Array published or executed nor Master Elliot Commissioner or Master Lort Treasurer of that Committee there being then no Committee in that County Neither was there any such thing executed by them or any such Warrants thundred forth as is injuriously related the said particulars being no other then a fardle of untruths And here doth the Relator to save his credit slip over a great hiatus and intervall of time almost a whole yeare without mentioning one syllable of a Treaty Agreement and Subscription to an Association with Carmarthen and Cardigan Shires wherein to prevent the Lord Herberts Command over those Counties who was a notorious Papist and had Commission from the king to be Lord Lieutenant of South Wales the Earle of Carbery was made Commander in Chiefe by the consent and Subscription of all the Justices of Peace and Gentry of that County except only two or three Officers of the Souldiery who kept within the strong Towne and Castle of Pembroke And now see how the Designe was laid and carried some of these Gentlemen who had subscribed the Association betooke themselves into Pembroke about May 1643. and not intending at first to be seene in the head of any Party themselves they set up one Poyer a man of meane birth and education brought up by Master John Mevrick Customer of Milford first a boy in his Kitchin then Groome of his Stable after in the Trade of a Glover one of such impudent rudenesse that few Gentlemen though desirons to have served the Parliament and have made their abode in that Town could indure his insolency Now was Poyer made forthwith Deputy-Mayor of Pembroke though the Mayor himselfe resided in Towne he commands all first violates the Peace goes with some Horse to Tinby a Towne then well affected and pretending a friendly visit seizes upon the Ordnance drives the Townesmen into the Steeple then departs jeering at their distracted feares without any Guard left for preserving the Towne for the Parliament Hence the source and fountaine of that Counties calamity and of Poyers rising Hereupon the Mayor and Aldermen of Tinby thus affrighted call a Councell where is resolved that two of them viz. Thomas Wyat Mayor and Evan Longe Alderman should ride to the Earle of Carbery who accordingly did the day following and procured him to send down two Companies of Foot which are received and Tinby Garrisoned for the King All this was so suddenly done in the midst of Harvest 1643. that the whole County stood amazed in great perplexity the occasion whereof proceeded meerly by that ill carriage of the Deputy Mayor of Pembroke yet by the Relation injuriously cast upon Master Lort and Master Elliot who were then many miles absent and in no wise privy to any part of the designe After this not many daies passed before the Earle of Carbery and Judge Jenkins came with Supplies of Horse and Foot to Tinby the Judge being sent as was conceived by many that knew the Earles carriage and inclination of purpose to observe the others actions and demeanor The Judge frames the Warrants and the Earle subscribes the Summons first to the Gentry after to the rest of the County Some of the Gentlemen that had formerly subscribed the Association appeare either there or at
