Gregory Clement Francis Hacker Edmund Harvey Augustine Garland Henry Marten Vincent Potter Will. Heveningham Henry Smith Thomas Waite George Fleetwood All which being brought to the Bar were indicted and arraigned to the following effect That they not having the fear of God before their eyes but being led by the instigation of the Divel had maliciously traiterously and advisedly imagined consulted contrived and compassed the death of His late Majesty Charles the first of ever blessed memory and that they had aided procured a betted assisted and comforted a certain person with a vizard upon his face and a frock upon his body for that purpose To which all pleaded Not guilty except Sir Hardres Waller and Col. George Fleetwood who being conscious of their own guilt and satisfied with the hainousness of their fact pleaded guilty and put in their Petitions to the Court craving mercy And although Mr. Hugh Peters said he would not plead guilty for ten thousand worlds yet he was found to be a great forwarder of that black designe This being the first daies work which was only to arraigne the next day being Thursday Major Gen. Harrison singly was brou●ht to the Bar but before he could get a Jury that he liked he took upon him the liberty of an English man excepted against thirty five persons which being done twelve were chosen upon whom he put himself for his Tryal and being charged by the Kings Councel for being one that Signed the Commission for the establishing a High Court of Justice One that Sate among them One that Signed that Horrid Warrant for the Kings Execution and was One likewise who had Contrived the Time the Place and the Manner of the Kings Execution Major General Harrison in his Pleadings carried himself so confidently to the Court as if he thought himself Carelesse and Unconcerned in the businesse and seemed to justifie not onely the Power under which he Acted but also the Act it self saying that Kings had formerly been privately Assassinated and Murthered but what they had done was in the Face of the Sun and in the Fear of the Lord whereat the Court was much troubled to see that he should make God the Author of that Horrid Murther and being told that the thing he called the Commons of England were so far from being a Parliament that they had not the least colour of Authority and that if they had been the whole house of Commons and joyned to the whole house of Lords they could not by any Act of theirs take away the Life of the least Cripple at the Gate much lesse of the King c. Major General Harrison not being able to speak to the matter of Fact it was left to the Jury who without going forth of the Court immedia●ely found him Guilty and Sentence accordingly passed on him To go from that place to the place from whence he came and from thence to be drawn upon a Hurdle to the place of Execution there to be Hanged by the Neck till he were half Dead that he should be cut down a Live and his Members cut off before his Face and burnt in the Fire his Bowels to be taken out and burnt likewise his Head to be cut off and his Body to be divided into four Quarters disposed of as his Majesty shall think fit Which sentence was put in Execution on Saturday following at Charing-cross The next day

being Friday the Court called to the Bar Col. Adrian Scroope Mr. John Carew Mr. Thomas Scot Mr. Gregory Clement and Col. John Jones Col. Scroope leads the Van of these Five to the Bar and after his Indictment was read and being charged as one that sate in that bloody Court and set his hand to that Wicked Warrant for the Execution the Kings Councel produced Witnesses which confirmed the same to which Col. Scroope pleaded that he could not justifie himself from the Fact but did intreat Councel as to matter of Law that he was no Parliament Man but onely acted in the High Court of Justice by a Commission from the Parliament which was then accounted the supream Authority of the Nation and was owned by the Generality of the people and that sitting in that Court by command of that Authority he hoped it would justifie him and therefore desired Councel to provide himself But being told as Major General Harrison had been that there was no matter of Law in the thing and that the Illegal Usurpt power of those few members which Authorized that black Court had not the least colour of an Authority which answer silenced him and so being left to the Jury was likewise found Guilty Mr. John Car●w was next called for to the Bar and being Taxt in manner and form with Col. Scroope for signing to the Act for Establishing a High Court of Injustice and signing the aforesaid bloody Warrant for the Kings Execution he like Major Gen. Harrison would have justifyed the Act pleading Error to the Indictment because that said he did it not having the Fear of God before his Eyes whereas what he had done was in the Fear of the most Holy and most Righteous Lord he likewise was found Guilty by the Jury Mr. Thomas Scot is called who so much Gloried in his being a Contriver of the Kings Death that he desired it might be writ upon his Tomb that all ●he World might know it but now being brought to the Bar he pleads not Guilty he said that he had often prayed with tears that if there were any wickednesse in the Death of the King God would be pleased to convince him of it but that he never received any conviction he would have pleaded the Authority of the Parliament but being told there could not be a Parliament without King Lords and Commons his Plea had the like success of the former Col. John Jones who was Mr. Scotts bed-fellow who seeing that all the Arguments which they had contrived between them to answer the charge proved ineffectuall and that the Plea on the other side of the Kings Councell was un-answerable confest his being present at the Court and signing of the Warrant for the Kings Execution upon which he was by the Jury returned guilty Mr. Gregory Clement delivered a Petition to the Court and desired to plead guilty to the Indictment acknowledging the hainousnesse of the crime and that his former plea of Not guilty might be waved Upon which the five received the aforesaid sentence together On Saturday Mr. John Cocke and Mr. Hugh Peters were brought to the Bar. Mr. Cooke was taxed for signing that wicked Libel called A charge of High treason exhibited on behalfe of the people of England against Charles Stuart King He pleaded so much like a Lawyer that it was answered That he he had transgrest the Law very much that unders●ood it so much that whereas he pretended to be a servant to the people of England it did concern the Jury to take notice thereof for they were part of the people and ifthey did own what he said they justified the Prisoner but it was hoped that they stood there to tell the World that the people of England had nothing to doe in it that he was the man that said the King must die and Monarchy with him and that he frequently interrupted the King not suffering him to answer for himselfe and was aegry with the Court that as he pretended they suffered the King to trifle away time He was likewise found guilty Mr. Hugh Peters stood strangely amazed and could say nothing for himselfe against that Jury of witnesses that appeared against him as that he said England could not be setled till 150. were taken away which he said were L L L viz. the Lords the Levites and the Lawyers that he was often conspiring privately with Oliver Cromwell the Kings death that he could even reverence the High Court of Justice it lookt so like the judgement of the world which should be at the last day by the Saints With many other blasphemies too large to enumerate he was as aforesaid found guilty On Monday Col. Axtell Col. Hacker and Capt. Hewlet were brought to the Court the First for being Guard to the High Court of Injustice the Second for guarding the King to the Scaffold and the Third for cutting off his Head Col. Aztell commanded the Souldiers to cry Justice justice Execution execution Col. Hacker signed the bloudy Warrant for that wicked Murther and Capt. Hewlet was the probably supposed Man that gave the Fatal BLOW as by the course of the evidence may appear viz. That his voice was heard upon the Scaffold and his Breeches were seen under his Frock that he confest he was to have 100 l. and preferment in Ireland to doe it that being asked whether he Cut off the King's Head or no he said what he had done he would not be ashamed of and if it were to doe again he would doe it more to the same purpose was witnessed by several witnesses and by one who being sworn said that the Common-Hangman profest he did not doe it all three-were found guilty The other Eighteen viz. Sir Hardresse Waller William Heveningham Isaac ●enington Henry Marten Gilbert Millington Rob. Tichburn Owen Roe Robert Lilburn Henry Smith Edmund Harvey John Downes Vincent Potter Augustine Garland George Fleetwood Simon Meyne James Temple Peter Temple Tho. Waite were brought to the Bar on Tuesday morning and having seen the vanity of wanding out and pleading not guilty they all fairly laid down the Bucklers and submitted to the mercy of the King and received the Sentence of Death as the others had done before them only Mr. Heveningham was that day set b● but on Friday following the 19. of October the Court met on purpose and passed the like Sentence upon him Mr. Carew was Executed according to his sentence on Munday the 15th of October On Tuesday Mr. Cooke and Mr. Peters received the reward of their Iniquity On Wednesday Mr. Scot Mr. Gregory Clement Col.
