THE Traytors Pilgrimage From the TOWER TO Tyeburn BEING A true Relation of the drawing of William Lord Monson Sir Henry Mildmay and Esquire Wallop upon three several Sledges on Munday last the 27th of this instant January being the day that our late Gracious Soveraign King CHARLES received that horrid and most unjust Sentence to lose his dear and precious Life before the Gates of his own Royal Palace WITH The manner of the proceedings at Tyburn in Order to the degrading and devesting them of their former Titles of Honour and their declaratory Speeches to both the Right Worshipful Sheriffs of London and Middlesex London Printed by J. Johnson 1662. A true Relation of the manner how the Prisoners were drawn on a Hurdle on Monday last the 27th of this instant January from the Tower of London c. WHen Subjects rebel against their Lawful Soveraign great are the Omens of their destruction and an hasty Sentence once past may be sooner repented then recalled as it is clearly demonstrated from the case of many of those Members who sate in the pretended high Court of Justice again our precious and never too much lamented Soveraign King Char●es the first of ever blessed Memory many being unfeignedly sorrowful that ever they had a hand in so wicked so great and execrable an Act as to murther so pious vertuous and loving a King that so patiently received Martyrdom at the ●ates of his own Royal Palace rather then he would betray a good Conscience the Kingdoms peace or the liberty of his Subjects and as it is exprest in the Holy writ That he that sheddeth mans blood by man shall his blood be shed again especially Royal Blood there being an express command Touch not the Lords Anointed c. But how contrary to this many have gone let the World judge Some have already drank of the bitter Cup of Death for their Disobedience and Rebellion others are like to taste of the Dregs but thrice happy are they who shall walk holy and in all reverend obedience fear God and honour the King But some Zealots of the Zuinglian faction spreading their woful Schisms throughout these Brittish Islands many loyal Subjects paid Death for it whose Blood was poured forth like Water in most parts of the Kingdom but no where more aboundant then at Cromwels-slaughter-house in and about the City of London And observe the stones that they cast at others fell upon their own heads for several changes and mutations hapned in somuch that there was a most miraculous deliverance from the hands of Usurpers by a providential restoring of our dread Soveraign Lord King Charles the second and the bringing of His Majesties grand Enemies to the Bar of Justice and others to publick shame and disgrace amongst whom the Lord Mounson Sir Henry Mildmay and Mr. Robert Wallop being all Members of Parliament for constituting of that most unjust illegal and pretended High Court of Justice and although they were not present at the Sentence of the Kings death yet they were A bettors thereunto but through the tender mercy of King and Parliament being not immediate they were excepted for life and to receive reward according to their merits which was by the High and Honourable Court of Parliament to be secured and kept in safe custody and on the 27th of January to be drawn upon a Sledge from the Tower of London to Tiburn there to be degraded and devested from all their Titles of Honour which accordingly was put in execution on Monday last but Sir James Harrington having made his escape prevented that which otherwise had been determined for him But before we proceed to particulars observe this by the way That as for Mildmay he was raised and prefered by his Majesty the King not onely ordering him to be his Jeweller but preferred him to other places of profit and was in high Trust as well as in great Gain And because as the Proverb goeth Much would have more his Covetousness egged forward by his Ambition to be Great snatching at more then was just laid him open to lose what was due and to be deprived of his place that formerly was so good Then he like the unjust Steward spoken of in the Gospel withal alluding to Mr. Pym that grand enemy against Monarchy took unjuster courses against his Royal Master for he not onely advised with himself to destroy his M●jesty and to deceive him gaining Riches to himself as his false Steward that Christ spea●s of had had shewed him the way before but as After-ages grew more subtle so they became more wicked then the former times even so this unjust and unthankful Servant became more wicked then before for such hatred and malice did he lay up against his Lord and Master the King that he sealed it in the depth of his heart wherein the same boiled like New Wine that wanted vent so that it was like Meat and Drink to an hungry Stomack or thirsty Soul for him to find any opportunity to broach the same and was against all Concessions of peace with the King for when the Essex Petition for a personal Treaty with the King during His Majesties confinement in the Isle of Wight was published in London the Printer was sent for by a Pursivant and being carried before a Committee where this Judas Mildmay was Chairman he used these words Sirrah sirrah How dare you Print or Publish such wicked Papers as these for a personal Treaty with him whom we have conquered To which the Printer replied That to his apprehension and judgement there was nothing therein contained but what was just and lawful whereupon he was committed But to the deportment of this precious Jeweller and the rest upon the Sledge and at Tiburn this is very remarkable That On Munday being the 27 of January and the day that our late Gracious Lord and Sovereign King Charles received that most horrid excrable and detestable Sentence the aforesaid William Lord Mounson Sir Henry Mildmay Robert Wallop Esquire were drawn from the Tower of London on three several sledges with Ropes about their Necks to Tyburn being guarded by the Sheriffs Officers c. The first was the Lord Mounson who lay along in the sledge and seemed very much dejected having almost the Picture of Death in his face The second was Sir Henry Mildmay who lay as it were crooked on the sledge in a long Gown And the third was Mr. Wallop who likewise lay in the same posture But when they came to Tyburn after some Discourse betwixt the Worshipful Sheriffs and the Prisoners in order to the Effect and Causes of their being brought to that Place with so great and deserved Reproach and Ignominy To which the Lord Mounson deelared That what he had done he was sorry from his very Soul and had he ten thousand lives he would facrifice them all for the King The like regret of Spirit were upon the other two who when they came near to the Gallows shaked their heads and said It was but just their sins had deserved it And all three Sledges being drawn under the Gallows they were afterwards guarded back to the Tower FINIS
