R. for Henry Twyford and are to be sold at his Shop in Vine-Court Middle Temple An. Dom. 1655. THE Vindication of Sir IOHN STAWELLS Remonstrance against a Scurrilous Pamphlet written by Mr. Iohn Ashe c. I HAVE in my Remonstrance formerly made a Profession to fixe my selfe upon that truth which should be avowed upon The Faith of a Christian and Honour of a Gentleman and I can with much confidence affirme that I have not been wanting in the least point to that profession And I engage my selfe again to follow the same course in the ensuing Narrative wherein when I shall have demonstrated by clear proofes and arguments the wicked and malicious Practises which Mr. Iohn Ash hath used against me thereby involving me in those great Calamities and miseries which I have undergone for many years violating that private tye of Freindship which he pretends and duty of a person publickly entrusted by the Parliament I doubt not but the Reader will beleive I had more cause to have expected that Mr. Ash would rather have acknowledged by his thankfulness the moderation I used in the relating of those passages wherin he was concerned in my Remonstrance then have endeavoured as he hath lately done by a scurrilous Pamphlet published in his name to asperse me with the Writing of many fashoods in severall Pages of it and by a faigned discourse as Void of Truth as of Civility perswade the Reader First That I never had any intention to compound upon my Articles And Secondly That he had alwayes studiously performed the Office of a Faithfull Freind unto me Now these two points have been already cleered by solemne Judgments in two great and honourable Courts constituted by Authority of Parliament who having both of them declared that I submitted to a Composition according to my Articles and performed al things which were on my part requisite towards my obtaining the benefit of them have therein also by a necessary consequence resolved that Mr. Ash by whom I was refused to be admitted to my Composition when I first tendred it had not performed either the Office of a Freind or duty of a publick person towards me so that it may appear superfluous to give a further Answer to it which was the cause I had at first some thought to let it passe as being a thing which deserved not the trouble of an answer yet afterwards having more seriously weighed what ill impressions so many Shamelesse and notorious Falshoods might make in those who are but strangers unto the former proceedings in my Cause if they perceived them passe in silence without an Answer to the great prejudice of Truth and of the Justice of those two honourable Courts who have already cleared them by their Judgments I have thought fit upon these grounds and for my own vindication from those scandalls wherewith the Author of that Pamphlet hath therin Falsely and maliciously aspersed me to publish an exact Narrative of all his Actings in relation to my business from the 15th of Iuly 1646. which was the day of my first coming to London upon the Articles of Exeter untill this time that so it may appear how shamelesly he hath endeavoured to abuse the Reader by that most false and scandalous Pamphlet And therefore I shall in the first place represent clearly the condition wherein I stood at my first coming hither after the granting of those Articles being breifly thus Upon the rendring of Exeter to the Lord Generall Fairfax there were some Articles agreed upon between his Lordship and the Governour dated the 8th of Aprill 1646. which were upon the 6th of May following read and approved of by the House of Commons and afterwards by both the Houses on the 4th of November 1647. the 12. 13. and 21. of which Articles together with the Votes and Orders made in confirmation of them do follow in these words 12.

That all Lords Knights Gentlemen Clergymen and Chaplains excepted in the next precedent Article shall have Liberty to go unto any of the Kings Garrisons and to have a safe Conduct for themselves and servants to go unto the Parliament to obtain their Composition for their Estates and Indemnity for their persons which though it prove uneffectuall yet nevertheless they shall have four Moneths time next after the date of these Articles to endeavour their peace or to go beyond the Seas and shall have Passes for that purpose 21.
