severally made an incomparable Speech wherein with great eloquence they set forth the many years misery under which the Nation laboured then repeated the Kingdomes Joyes at present for their hoped happinesse in the future by his Majesties Restauration and so commended to his Princely care his three Kingdomes and people with their Laws and priviledges whereto the King in a Majestick style made this short but full return That he was so disordered by his Journey and the Acclamations of the people still in his Ears which yet pleased him as they were demonstrations of Affectiou and Loyalty that he could not express himself so full as he wished yet promised them that looking first to Heaven with a Thank-ful heart for his Restoration he would have a careful Eye of especial grace and favour towards his Three Kingdomes protesting that he would as well be a Defendor of their Laws liberties properties as of their faith Having thus received and taken several Congratulations and Entertaiments and dismissed his Noble Honourable Worshipful and Reverend Guard of the Nobility Gentry Citizens and Ministry he retired to Supper and afterwards having devoutly offered the Sacrifice of Prayer and Praise to the most high for his safe return he went to his Repose and Bed The first Beam that darted from our Royal Sun infused such a sense of piety into the peoples Affection that it even made them break into an Excess of Joy it was that happy Omen of a vertuous Government the admirable Proclamation against debauchednesse wherein such is his Majesties zeal he takes no notice of his Enemies but our sin which had so long occasioned his exile not sparing therein those who pretended to be his friends yet by their prophanenesse disserved him A happy Prince and happy people sure where the Extremity of Justice endevoureth to take nothing from the Subject but a Liberty to offend which so highly pleased the people that their Joyes rather increased then diminished according to that of the Poet. Littora cum plausu clamor superasque Deorum Implevere Domos gaudent generumque salutant Auxiliumque Domus servatoremque fatentur The Shores ring with applause the Heavens abound With grateful Clamours which therein resound All men salute him Father Prince and King That home again their banish'd peace doth bring Which is further also expressed by the Poet in these words Largis satiantur odoribus ignes Sertaque dependent tectis ubique lyraeque Tibiaque cantus animi felicia laeti Argumenta sonant reseratis aurea valvis Atria tota patent pulchroque instructa paratu Proceres ineunt convivia Regis The Bonfires light the Skie Garlands adorn The Streets and Houses Nothing is forborn That might express full joy while to his Court The King by Nobles follow'd doth resort And in their Feasts Gods wondrous Acts report So restless were the Nights of our pious King that he began to account all time spent in vain and amisse wherein he did not do or offer some good to his Kingdome to this purpose on the first of June the very next day but one after his Arrival accompanied with his two Brothers and Sir Edward Hide Lord Chancellour of England with many other honourable persons went by water to the House of Lords where having seated himself in his Royal seat the Black Rod was sent to the Commons to inform them of his being there They immediately adjourned and with their Speaker waited his Majesties pleasure who in a short speech acquainted them with the Occasion and Cause of his present sending for them viz.

Fleetwood James Temple Thomas VVayte Peter Temple Robert Lilburn Gilbert Millingon Vincent Potter Thomas VVogan and Iohn Downes And therefore though they be all attainted convicted of High Treason by the Law of the Land at a fair and legal Trial by a special Commission of Oyer and Terminer directed to several of the Judges learned in the Law and to divers other worthy and honourable persons yet they are not to suffer the pains of death but their executions are to be suspended until his Majesty by the advice and assent of the Lords and Commons in Parliament shall order the execution by Act of Parliament to be passed to that purpose The persons that have been taken were Thomas Harrison Adrian Scroop Iohn Carew Iohn Iones Francis Hacker Gregory Clement Thomas Scot Iohn Cooke Hugh Peters Daniel Axtel and VVilliam Heulet Thomas Harrison having received his Tryal and being condemned to be hanged drawn and quartered accordingly on Saturday betwixt nine and ten of the clock in the morning the thirteenth of October 1660 he was drawn upon a hurdle from Newgate to the place that is rayled in by Charing-cross where a Gibbet was erected and he hanged with his face looking towards the Banqueting-house at White-hall the fatal place pitched upon by those infernal Regicides for the solemn murther of our late Soveraign Charles the first of glorious memory when he was half dead the common Hangman cut him down cut off his privy members before his eyes then burned his bowels severed his head from his body and divided his body into four quarters which were sent back upon the same sledge that carried it to the prison of Newgate from thence his head was brought and set on a pole at the South end of Westminster-hall looking toward the City of London but his Quarters are exposed to view as a publick example upon some of the Gates of the same City His pleading at his arraignment were nothing but treasonable and seditious speeches rather justifying the crime he had committed then any whit relenting and so he continued a desperate Schismatick to the Church of England to the last moment of his breath 2. John Carew was the next that followed who at the time of his tryal endeavoured onely to justify the late Rump and their actings but that would not serve his turn for it was proved that he did consult and meet together with others how to put the King to death that he sate at the time of the sentence and signed the Warrant for execution so that the Jury found him guilty of compassing and imagining the Kings death for which he was also condemned to be hanged drawn and quartered c. which sentence on Monday the fifteenth of October in the morning was put in execution on the body of the said Carew his Quarters being likewise carried back on the Hurdle to Newgate but such was the goodness of his Majesty that upon the humble intercession of his friends he was graciously pleased to give them his body to be buried though his execrable treasons had merited the contrary 3 4. The next in order were Mr. John Coke the Solicitor and Mr. Hugh Peters that Carnal Prophet and Jesuitical Chaplain to the trayterous High Court upon Cooke's Trial it was proved against him that he examined witnesses against the King that he was at the drawing of the Charge that he exhibited it in the name of the Commons assembled in Parliament and the good people of England that this Charge was of High Treason that he complained of delayes prayed that the Charge might be taken pro Confesso and at last that it was not so much he as innocent blood that demanded Justice and that notwithstanding all this he acknowledged the King to be a gracious and wise King upon which the Jury found him guilty 2. Then Peters was set to the Bar against whom was proved that he did at five several places consult about the Kings death at Windsor at Ware in Coleman-street in the Painted Chamber and in Bradshaw's house that he compared the King to Barrabas and preached to binde their Kings in chaines c. That he had been in New England that he came thence to destroy the King and foment war that he had been in arms and called the day of his Majesties Tryal a glorious day resembling the judging of the world by the Saints that he prayed for it in the Painted Chamber preached for it at White-hall St. James's Chappel St. Sepulchres and other places upon which proofes the Jury finding him guilty also of compassing and imagining the Kings death the Court sentenced them viz. Cooke and Peters both to be led back to the place from whence they came and from thence to be drawn upon a Hurdle to the place of execution c. On Tuesday following being the sixteenth of October they were drawn upon two Hurles to the rayled place near Charing-cross and executed in the same manner as the former and their Quarters returned to the place whence they came since which the head of Iohn Cooke is set on a Pole on the Northeast end of Westminster-hall on the left of Mr. Harrisons looking towards London And the head of Mr. Peters is placed on London Bridge their Quarters also being exposed upon the tops of some of the Gates of the City 5. The next brought to Tryal were Scot and Clement Scroope and Iones against Thomas Scot was proved that he did sit and consult about the Kings death that he agreed to the sentence and signed the Warrant whereby the King was murthered that since he hath owned the business of the Kings death by glorying in it defending it and saying he would have it engraven on his Tomb-stone that all the world might know it which being high aggravations of his crime he was soon found Guilty by the Jury 6. Then Gregory Clement was set to the Bar who immediately confessed himself Guilty modo forma and so without troubling the Jury was set aside till Judgement 7. Next was brought Mr. Iohn Iones against whom the proofs were short that he did sit upon the King in that monstrous Court and that he signed the Sentence and horrid Instrument whereby the King was ordered to be put to death upon which the Jury found him guilty 8. Then Scroop was tried upon the like Indictment for compassing the Kings death and against him was proved that he sate in the Court and did Sentence the King and sign the bloody Warrant and after the coming in of his Majesty that now is justified the committing of that detestable murther for which the Jury finding him guilty the Court gave sentence of death against them as the former to suffer as Traytors and accordingly on Wednesday the 17. of October about 9. of the clock in the morning Mr. Thomas Scot and Mr. Gregory Clement were brought on several hurdles to the Gibbet erected near Charing-cross and were there hanged bowelled and quartered and about an houre after Mr.

day of May and the better to compass their ends by a base and clandestine surprise they gave out that they would not sit till Tuesday the tenth of May yet surreptitiously as I say they met early on Saturday in the painted Chamber at Westminster and wanting of their number to make up a house they sent for those two debauched lustfull Devills the Lord Munson and Harry Martin out of prison where they were in Execution for debt with Whitelock and Lisle of the Chancery Court making in all forty two the Chancery Mace also for hast being carried before them William Lenthall Esq their tender conscienc'd Speaker together with the said L.

Bingham Col. Ayre Mr. Smith Col. Ingoldsby And Lieutenant Generall Fleetwood Stole on a sudden into the house the invitation of the Army for sitting of the long Parliament being first published in westminster-Hall Upon notice of this surprise of the house by so few there being more than double the like number of members of the same Parliament there and about town some of them at the same instant in the Hall they to prevent future mischief whereof this packing of Parliament men was an ill Omen to the number of fourteen went immediately into the Lobby and the persons that did so were these Viz. Mr. Anslewy Sr. George Booth Mr. James Harbet Mr. Prinne Mr. George Montague Sir John Evelin Mr. John Harbert Mr. Gowen Mr. Evelin Secluded members Mr. Knightly Mr. Clive Mr. Hungerford Mr. Harbey Mr. Pecke But assoon as they came near the door they were not suffered by the Officers of the Army to go into the house though they disputed their priviledge of sitting if the Parliament were not dissolved but reason not prevailing after they had thus fairly made their claim they retired resolving to acquaint the Speaker by letter of their usage And accordingly on Munday the 9th of May they went to Westminster where the guards being not yet come Mr. Ansley Mr. Prinne and Mr. Hungerford went freely into the house receiving the Declaration of the 7th of May at the door But Mr. Ansley walking down into the Hall the house not being ready to sit at his return was by one Capt. Lewson of Goffes Regiment and other officers denyed entrance Mr. Prinne continued within and resolved so to do Vote against the secluded members since he saw there a new force upon the house whose only staying so guilty were the rest of their evill actions made them loose that morning and adjourn without the Speakers taking the chair And to prevent his or any other honest mans coming in among them after that they barred the door by the following Vote Ordered That such persons heretofore Members of this Parliament as have not sate in this Parliament since the year 1648. And have not subscribed the engagement in the Roll of engagement of this House shall not sit in this house till further order of the Parliament Thus to the griefe of all honest and true hearted Christians the same pretended Parliament that was fitting in 1653. till Oliver disseized them sitting again in 1659. upon a Declaration of the Army with the same resolutions they had before minding nothing but prefering one another The good old cause what and their friends into good Offices and commands and Counsellors places as appears by their Vote of the 29th of May Viz. The Parliament doth declare that all such as shall be employed in any place of trust or power in the Common-wealth be able for the discharge of such trust and that they be persons fearing God and that have given testimony to all the people of God and of their faithfulness to this Common-wealth according to the Declaration of Parliament of the 7 th of May. Now who they mean by persons fearing God in their canting language by their very next work you shall see which is the nominating a Councill of State Councill of State nominated into whose hands is given the dispose of all places of trust and profit yea and the command of the wealth of the Kingdom those of the house are as follow Sir Arthur Haselrig Sir Henry Vane Ludlow Jo.

Lambert Desborow Fairfax Berry Sir Anthony Ashley-Cooper Sir Horatio Townsend Sir Robert H●●ywood Sir Archibald Johnson And Josia Berners Who under the mask of the good old cause began now to act as high villains as ever before having forgotten how justly they formerly had been laid aside but they are like the dog that returnes to his vomit and with the sow that is washed to her wallowing in the mire And the better to cast a seeming gloss over the foulness of their actions The good old cause what it is and their clandestine intrusion into the Government they send forth a Declaration in print the particulars whereof might very well have been here observable if they had not already been so cleerly demonstrated by the laborious pen of learned Mr. William Prinne in his book entituled The Republicans good old cause stated having therein so fully detected them Remainder of Crown ●ands to be fold that there remains nothing more to be said in the same matter And now as if already they had not wasted enough by exposing to sale the Kings Queens Princes Nobles and Gentries Lands and Goods being very quick sighted and of a long and large memory whereby they knew all was not sold therefore about the beginning of June to shew us further what they meant by the good old cause they ordered the bill for publick sales to be brought in A sweet act to enrich the saints as they in their canting language called themselves but their necessities by the long deteining of the publick purse from them being grown very pressing and though they thought the money arising from those sales would be sure yet for their present urgencies not being able to stay till that could be raised they appointed the same afternoon to consider of a more speedy way for raising money for that was all they ever aimed at or hoped for and to this purpose a bill of Assessement is concluded the most fitting Quaerenda pecunia primum est And because they would leave no stone unturned from which they might
