a Member of the House whereupon Sir William wept Secondly That he should say at the Castle of Dublin that Ireland was a Conquered Nation and that the King might do with them what he pleased and speaking of the Charters of that City averred that their Charters were nothing worth and did bind the King no further than he pleased The Earles Reply That if he had been over liberal of his Tongue for want of discretion yet could not his words amount to Treason unless they had been revealed within fourteen dayes as he was informed As to the Charge he said True it is he said Ireland was a Conquered Nation which no man can deny and that the King is the Law-giver in matters not determined by Acts of Parliament be conceived all Loyal Subjects would grant 3. That R. Earl of Cork having sued out a Process in Course of Law for Recovery of possessions out of which he was put by an order of the Earl of Strafford and the Council of Ireland the said Earl threatned to Imprison him if he did not surcease his suit saying That he would have neither Law nor Lawyers dispute or question any of his Orders And when the said Earl of Cork said that an Act of King Iames his Council there about a Lease of his was of no force the Earl of Strafford replyed That he would make the said Earl know and all Ireland too so long as he had the Government there that any Act of State there should be obeyed as well as an Act of Parliament The Earles Reply It were hard measure for a Man to loose his Honour and his Life for an hasty word or because he is no wiser than God hath made him As for the words he confessed them to be true and thought he said no more then what became him considering how much his Majesties honour was concerned in him that if a proportionable obedience was not as well due to Acts of State as to Acts of Parliament in vain did Councils sit And that he had done no more than what former Deputies had done and than what was agreeable to his Instructions from the Council-Table which he produced and that if those words were Treason they should have been revealed within fourteen days 4. That the said Earl of Strafford 12 Decemb. 1635. in time of peace sentenced the Lord Mount-Norris a Peer Vice-Treasurer Receiver-General Principal Secretary of State and Keeper of the Privy Signet in Ireland and another to death by a Councel of War without Law or offence deserving such punishment The Earles Reply That there was then a standing Army in Ireland and Armies cannot be governed but by Martial Law That it hath been put in constant practice with former Deputies That had the sentence been unjustly given by him the Crime could amount but to Felony at most for which he hoped he might as well expect from his Majesty as the Lord Conway and Sir Jacob Astley had for doing the like in the late Northern Army That he neither gave sentence nor procured it against the Lord Mount-Norris but onely desired Iustice against the Lord for some affront done to him as he was Lord Deputy of Ireland That the said Lord was judged by a Council of War wherein he sate bare all the time and gave no suffrage against him that also to evidence himself a party he caused his Brother Sir George Wentworth in regard of the nearness of Blood to decline all acting in the Procejs Lastly Though the Lord Mount-Norris justly deserved to die yet he obtained his Pardon from the King 5. That he had upon a Paper-Petition of R. Rolstone without any legal Tryal disseized the Lord Mount-Norris of a Free-hold whereof he was two years in quiet possession The Earles Reply That he conceived the Lord Mount-Norris was legally divested of his Possessions there being a suit long depending in Chancery and the Plaintiff complaining of delay he upon the Complainants Petition called unto him the Master of the Rolls Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Iustice of the Common-Pleas and upon â— roofs in Chancery Deâ—reed for the Plaintiff wherein he said he did no more then what other Deputies had done before him 6. That a Case of Tenures upon defective Titles was by him put to the Judges of Ireland and upon their opinion the Lord Dillon and others were dispossessed of their Inheritances The Earles Reply That the Lord Dillon with others producing his Patent according to a Proclamation in the behalf of his Majesty the said Patent was questionable upon which a Case was drawn and argued by Council and the Iudges delivered their Opinions But the Lord Dillon or any other was not bound thereby nor put out of their Possessions but might have Traverst their Office or otherwise have Legally proceeded notwithstanding the said Opinion 8. That he October 1635. upon Thomas â—Hibbots Petition to the Council voted against the Lady Hibbots though the major part of the Council were for her and threatned her with 500l Fine and Imprisonment if she disobeyed the Council-Order entred against her the Land being conveyed to Sir Robert Meredith for his use The Earls Reply That true it is he had voted against the Lady Hibbots and thought he had reason so to do the said Lady being discovered by fraud and Circumvention to have bargained for Lands of a great value for a small Sum. And he denied that the said Lands were after sold to his use viz. That the major part of the Council-board voted for the Lady the contrary appearing by the Sentence under the hand of the Clerk of the Councâ—l which being true he might well threaten her with Commitment in case she disobeyed the said Order Lastly Were it true that he were Criminal therein yet were the Offence but a Misdemeanor no Treason 9. That he granted Warrants to the Bishop of Down and Connor and other Bishops their Chancellors and several Officers to Attach such mean people who after citation refused either to appear or undergo or perform such Orders as were enjoyned The Earles Reply That such Writs had been usually granted by former Deputies to Bishops in Ireland nevertheless being not fully satisfyed with the convenience thereof he was sparing in granting them until being informed that divers in the Diocesse of Down were somewhat refractory he granted Warrants to that Bishop and hearing of some disorders in the execution he called them in again 10. That he having Farmed the Customes of Imported and exported merchandise Inhanced the prices of the Native commodities of Ireland and caused them to be rated in the Book of Rates for the Customes according to which the Customes were gathered five times more than they were worth The Earles Reply That his interest in the Customes of Ireland accrewed to him by the Assignation of a Lease from the Dutchess of Buckingham That the Book of Rates by which the Customes were gathered was the same which was established by the Lord Deputy Faulkland Anno. 1628. some
according to Law And this whole affair was no new thing but the practise of the wise and religious King Iames who understood the interest of the Protestant Religion as well as any Prince in the world and promoted the concerns of it more ways than any man in England in whose Reign Anno 1622. this Letter was sent to the Judges After my hearty Commendations to you HIs Majesty having resolved out of deep reasons of State and in expectation of the like correspondence from Forraign Princes to the Profession of our Religion to grant some Grace and Connivance to the Imprisoned Papists in this kingdom hath Commanded me to Issue out some Writs under the Broad Seal to that purpose c. I am to give you to understand from his Majesty how his Majesties Royal Pleasure is That upon receipt of these Writs you shall make no niceness nor difficulty to extend that his Princely Favour to all such Papists as are Prisoners upon the concerns of Religion only and not matters of State Westminster Colledge August 2. 1622. Your loving friend JO. LINCOLNE The clearness of this honest but unfortunate Gentleman's Proceedings gave so much reputation to him abroad even in his lowest condition wherein great men like Dyals are not looked on because the Sun is off of them as that the Governour of Callice Le Comte de Charraâ— offered him his Coach to Paris with many other unusual Civilities Mounsieur de Chavigny not only commanded Licence for his departure from Callice but expressed great respect to his person and gave order for his accommodation with any thing that that place could afford Cardinal Richlieu invited him to his Ballet with order to Mounsieur Chavigni to bring him to his Eminence and assurance of welcome and an exceeding good Reception as he had March 12. 1640. The Cardinal after extraordinary Civilities bringing him from his own Chamber into the next giving him the upper hand and holding him by the hands Yea the King and Queen of France admitted him to a very great motion of familiarity with them respectively and upon Mounsieur Senetens ordered a Priviledge to be drawn up in as large and as ample manner as he could contrive it to free him and the other English that were Exiles there on the account of their Loyalty from that Confiscation of Estates after their deaths to which other Aliens are obnoxious by the Laws of that Kingdom Upon all which favours he makes this reflection in a letter to his Son So as though in mine own Country it be accounted a Crime to me to be her Majesties Servant yet here I shall have Reputation and receive much Honour by it As not only he did in France but likewise his Son in Rome where Cardinal Barharino treats him at a very high rate of kindness and civility â— remember it was wondered at much by some that a person rendred so odious should escape so well as to injoy his life and estate and more by others that so worthy a man that with his Father these are his own words had served the Crown near fourscore years and had the honour to be employed by the late Queen Elizabeth King Iames and his now Majesty in businesses of great trust should be outed his Secretaries Place and Banished his Country for obeying his Master's Command and that sometimes much against his own mind and opinion insomuch that Master Read protests he did many of them with a very ill will His rule was to be constant but not obstinate in his opinions he was of and when he had proper and secret motions of his own yet to yield as the Orbs do for the order of the Universe to the way of the first Mover Especially since he desired that his Secretary Master Read should come over and give an account of the grounds and reasons of all those transactions wherein he had been ministerial so confident was he of his integrity And after such a fair examination of his Services he requested only the favour of a charitable construction if his Services wherein he said he had no ill intention nor had offended willingly or maliciously and permission to return in safety to England to pass that little time which remained of his life privately in peace and mark these expressions in the Church of England whereof these are the very syllables of his Petition he will in Life and Death continue a true Member and in which he desireth to bestow the rest of his time in devotion for the prosperity thereof So modest were his expectations It was pity he was forced to live and dye among strangers more kind to him than his own Nation who while they perswaded the world he was a Papist had without God's special grace made him so by the unkindness of some Protestants who dressed him and others with Nick-names of Popery as the Heathens did the Martyrs in Beasts Skins that they might first expose and afterwards beat them Only he was happy in this that the Faction did not persecute him so rigidly as all the Court loved him intirely those very Lords that favoured the Conspiracy being very careful of him who lived to see them repent more of their Compliance than he had occasion to do of his Loyalty though his little state the argument of his honesty and generosity was broken his Relations distressed his Son Thomas of the Privy-chamber to the King displaced and what was sadder then all this one of his young Sons commonly called Colonel Windebank Shot to Death at Oxford for Delivering up Blechingdon-house to Cromwell's Horse upon first Summons there being no Foot near whatever Cromwell threatned so much to the disadvantage of Oxford A wonderful passage had it happened in any other age but that wherein men admired nothing not so much from any knowledge they attained in the causes of things as from the multitude of strange effect Some Venison there is not fit for food when first killed till it 's a while buried under-ground Some Mens Memories do not rellish so well till a while after their Interment Of this unfortunate States-men I may say what a wise man said of another Nunc quia Paula domi non sunt bene gesta foresque Paucula successus non habuere suos Creditur esse dolus fuerat quae culpa Putatur â—t scelus infaelix qui modo lapsus erat Rumpatur livor dicam quod sentio certe Infaelix potius quam sceleratus erat THE Life and Death OF Dr THOMAS IACKSON President of Corpus Christi Colledge in Oxford IT is true this Excellent Person died just when the Rebellion began to offer violence to others yet dying then he could not escape from the violence of it himself Peter Martyrs wife P.

Such his Reputation for deep skill in Divinity that he with the Reverend Dr. Davenant of Queens Dr. Carleton Bishop of Chichester Dr. Hall Dean of Worcester was sent from the Church of England by King Iames to the Synod at Dort to assist the Dutch Churches in the five Controversies of Predestination and Reprobation of the extent of Christs death of the power of mans free will both before and after his Conversion and of the Elects perseverance and to that purpose with Dr. Davenant sent for by that Learned and deep-sighted Prince to Royston October 8. 1618. where His Majesty vouchsafed his familiar Discourse with them for two hours together commanding them to sit down by him till he dismised them with this solemn Prayer which the good man would recollect with pleasure That God would bless their endeavours At that Synod besides the common Applause he had with his Brethren testified by the 10 l. a day allowed them there the entertainments given them at the Hague Amsterdam Rotterdam Vtrecht and Leiden by the 200 l. the Meddals and the Commendatory Letter sent with them at parting thence had they this peculiar Character that he was slow but sure recompensing in the exactness of his notion what he wanted in the quickness of it being but once contradicted and that at the first opening of that middle way he and his good Friend Davenant opened to them which surprized some in the Synod at first but reconciled the Synod to them and to its self at last the moderate that cut the hair in a Controversie like those that part a Fray meet with blows on both sides at first but embraced by those very arms that were lift upon them at last Bishop Carleton came home with this Commendation in the States publick Letter to King Iames.

So good a man that he was Tutor as well as Master to the whole Colledge yea kept almost as big a Colledge by his goodness as he governed by his place more depending upon him there and abroad as a Benefactor than did as a Governor Being a great recommender as well as incourager of Worth he used to say that he knew nothing that Church and State suffered more by than the want of a due knowledg of those Worthy men that were peculiarly enabled and designed to serve both And as another Argument of his goodness he went alwayes along with the moderate in the censures of Preachers in the University practices in the Courts that were under his Jurisdiction And in Opinions in the Convocation whereof he was a Member much pleased with a modest soft way that might win the persons and smoother their errors being much pleased with his Friend Mr. Dods saying that men should use soft words and hard Arguments And this so much known to others though so little observed by him this meek and slow speeched Moses his face shining to all men but himself that it procured six or 7000 l.

Rolfs Pistols B's Dagger E's Poison nor other instruments of Assassination laid about his doors and windows could dispatch a Majesty that a great while they durst not against so many obligations of heaven and earth put to death and yet durst against their own fears and guilt suffer to live They durst judge and condemn him aggravating a horrid treason with a more horrid pretence Hereby Law and Justice were forced like Queen Anne Bulloigns Father being Judge at his Daughters death to assist in a Parricide against their own Father and Author Why these ceremonies formalities and circumstances of Villany why doth Treason chuse the Bench rather than the Vault and to Sentence rather than to Blow up but that the Traytors within being more Villains than those without had a design to render Justice it self as ridiculous as the great Master of it and assassinate Law it self as well as the Law-giver First they lay violent hands on themselves threatning the Lords they should Sit no longer if they concurred not and reducing the House of Commons to forty of the reproach of that Assembly and then on his Majesty It was necessary first that they should murder the Parliament by excluding vexing and abusing above four hundred of the Commons and laying aside all the Lords before they could come at the King and leave not a sober man in power before they robbed that good Man of his life This contemptible forty of whom yet twenty dissented Vote with their Mercenary and Fanatick Army with whom they hoped to share in their spoils and power no more Addresses to the King nor any more Peace and what was more ridiculous adjust their own Crimes by their own Vote Votes so daringly overturning Foundations that all men seeing all Law and Government cut off by them at one blow looked to their Throats Estates and Children when all that secured these was at one breath overturned Here is a power ascribed the people that they never owned and a power derived from them that they never granted here are the People brought in to judge their King that abhorred it and the King tried for war against his People when all the People were ready to lay down their lives in a war for him Here are the Commons of England pretended when the whole House of Commons was almost excluded and none but such persons as were known Adulterers Cheats two Coblers one Brewer one Goldsmith one Indicted for Committing a Rape another for writing Blasphemy against the Trinity another having said that Diodorus Seculus was a better Author than Moses first asserting to themselves this new authority and then exercising it These that were to be brought to the Bar themselves bring the King in whose name all Malefactors were tried to the Bar himself Those that had been eight years indeavouring to murder the King in a war are made his Judges now that war is over A pretty sight to have seen Clement Ravillaic Faux Catesby and Garnet one day indeavouring to dispatch a King and the next advanced to be his Judges After prayers and fasts the great fore-runners of mischief whereby they indeavoured as impudently to ingage God in the villany he forbid as they had done the people for the Remonstrance framed by Ireton for questioning the King was called the Agreement of the people in a Treason they all abhorred When all the Ministry of England and indeed of the world cryed down the bloudy design contrary to Oaths and Laws and common reason as the shame and disgrace of Religion These Assassinates were satisfied with the preaments of one Pulpit Buffoon Peters a wretched fellow that since he was whipt by the Governors of Cambridge when a youth could not endure government never after and the Revelation of a mad Herfordshire woman concurring with the proceedings of the Army for which she was thanked by the House her Revelations being seasonable and proceeding from an humble spirit All the Nation abhorred their proceedings therefore they hasten them and in five hours draw up such an horrid Act as was not heard of in five thousand years An Act of the Commons of England when not one in five hundred approved it Assembled in Parliament when the Parliament by the Army destroyed for Erecting of an High Court of pretended Iustice for the Trying and Judging of Charles Stuart King of England of that Treason they should have been tried for themselves WHereas it is notorious That Charles Stuart the now King of England not content with those many incroachments which his Predecessors had made upon the People in their Rights and Freedoms hath had a wicked design totally to subvert the Ancient Laws and Liberties of this Nation And in their place to introduce an Arbitrary and Tyrannical Government with Fire and Sword Levied and Maintained a cruel War in the Land against the Parliament and Kingdom whereby the Country hath been miserably wasted the publick Treasury exhausted Trade decayed and thousands of People murthered and infinite of other mischiefs committed For all which High and Treasonable Offences the said Charles Stuart might long since be brought to exemplary and condign punishment Whereas also the Parliament well hoping that the restraint and imprisonment of his person after it had pleased God to deliver him into their hands would have quieted the disturbers of this kingdom did forbear to proceed judicially against him But found by sad experience that such their remissness served only to incourage Him and his Complices in the continuance of their evil practises and in raising of new Commotions Designs and Invasions for prevention therefore of the like greater inconveniencies and to the end that no Magistrate or Officer whatsoever may hereafter presume traiterously and maliciously to imagine or contrive the inslaving or destroying of the English Nation and

THE Life and Death OF Sir CHARLES COMPTON TWin to Sir William in actions as well as Birth one History serveth both as well as did once one Picture Of whom one may say as one did of his Country Warwick-shire that it was the Heart but not the Core of England having nothing Course in his life having had the same Education with his Brother saving that he excelled in two great Accomplishments for Pleasure and Business Musick and Mathematicks without the first of which he would affirm that a man was no Company and without the second of no use He took to the same War being as eminent for Sobriety Discipline Moderation Conduct Vigilance and Activity in the field where he Commanded as Colonel as his Brother was in the Garrison where he Commanded as Governor There are two wonders in his life 1. His surprize of Breston-Castle with six men and himself by pretending to bring in Provision according to a Letter he intercepted as he did many reckoning his intelligence the main piece of his service and having always abroad his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 his many Eyes and Ears as men of business must which injoyned it the next Towns 2. His having two Pistois clapped in his very face and yet neither fire but the owners which were so sure of his life loosing by his side both their own He was as much for Pasturage and Inclosures in his Country as his Brother was against them answering those that complained Sheep turned Cannibals in Warwick-shire eating up Men Houses and Towns their Pastures make such depopulation That though they make Houses the fewer in that Country they made them the more in the Kingdom Towns being more peopled by Cloathing and Wool than the Country is depopulated by pasturage Indeed to use the words of a modern Author in this Case Corn doth visibly employ the poor in the place where it groweth by Plowing Sowing Mowing inning threshing but Wool invisibly maintaineth people at many miles distance by Carding Spinning Weaving Dressing and Dying so that Abel need not kill Cain the Shepheard undo the Husbandman but both subsist comfortably together What service he did his Majesty and his Father during the Rebellion we may guess by the trust reposed in him since the Restauration his Prudence and Courage having been as effectual against the late Usurpation as the Ash of his Country a stand of which in Pikes in his Country mens hands under his Conduct was impregnable is against viperous Creatures of which it is said that a Serpent incircled with fire and the boughs thereof will in this Dilemma put it self rather on the hazzard of fire than adventure on the fence of Ashen-boughs but it is unhappy that he was like that Ash too of which it is written that being cut down green it burneth clear and bright as if the sap thereof had a
as she had always hearkned to his advice so she would then for his sake and for his dear Childrens sake especially to moderate her sorrows and apprehensions for him I beseech thee saith the excellent Person take care of thy health sorrow not unsoberly unusually but preserve thy self for the benefit of our dear Children to whom the occasion of my death will be as much honor as my death its self is now sadness He kept himself in a very chearful and well-composed temper of minde till his parting with his dear Lady which indeed was the saddest spectacle writes a Reverend man that ever I beheld In which occasion he could not chuse but confess a little of humane frailty yet even then he did not forget both to Comfort and Counsel her and the rest of his friends particularly in blessing the young Lord whom he commanded not to revenge his death though it should be in his power intreating the like of his Lady adding to his Son a Legacy out of Davids Psalms viz. Lord lead me in a plain path for Boy said he I would have you a plain honest man and hate dissimulation This being over which he said was the hardest part of his life in this world he dealt seriously with a Reverend Minister about his heart and his sins reflecting much upon his Cowardly compliance with as he called it and fear of a prevailing party his 〈◊〉 my Lord of Straffords death and then addressed himself to the blessed Sacrament as he would call it emphatically after a private prayer of half an hour long in an excellent method very apt expressions and a most strong hearty and passionate affections for his Sins for his Relations for the King Church and State and for his Enemies with great Humility Zeal and Devotion confessing himself much better stronger and â—hearfuller for that heavenly repast and after that he desired the Reverend Person that administred to pray preparatively to his death that in the last action he might behave himself as might be most for Gods glory for the indearing of his dead Masters Memory and for the advancing of his present Masters Service and that he might avoid the saying or doing any thing which might savor either of vanity or sullenness Whence ascending the Scaffold in the Pallace-yard Westminster and forbidding all Effeminate tears about him he very Christianly forgave his Enemies and Executioner very resolutely declared his Faith dying in the blessed Profession as he called it of the Church of England and his hope professing that he loved good works well for which he had been suspected a Papist but his Anchor-hold which was Jesus loved him and gave himself for him He very couragiously owned his late Masters Cause and Person whom he declared there after a consideration he had being a very excellent Scholar of all the Images of Princes that ever were that he was the most vertuous and sufficient Prince known in the world very heartily prayed for the Restauration of his then Soveraign his people and the peoples Obedience Peace and Prosperity under him and very solemnly desiring the peoples earnest but secret prayer with holy Ejaculations that God Almighty would stench that issue of Blood adding This will not do the business God Almighty finde some way to do it And encouraging the Executioner to strike boldly with noble expressions and a generous reward having ordered his body to be delivered to his Servant unstripped he dyed with one blow the great Pattern of true Christian Nobility doing his Majesty much service in his exemplary life and like Sampson more in his Heroick death The blond of
