Murther Murther OR A bloody Relation how Anne Hamton dwelling in Westminster nigh London by poyson murthered her deare husband Sept. 1641. being assisted and counselled thereunto by Margeret Harwood For which they were both committed to Gaole and at this time wait for a tryall Women love your owne husbands as Christ doth the Church Printed at London for Tho. Bates 1641. A bloody Relation of Anne Hamton who poysoned her husband at WESTMINSTER Gentle Reader IT is not my purpose to make thee now laugh but if possible it be to be sad not to rejoyce but lament not to be frolicke but to dissolve into fountaines of teares because a daughter of Ierusalem hath committed an abomination Harken to me you that be wives and give attendance you which as yet are unmarried regard the words of Saint Paul which commands that every wife should love her own husband as Christ the church not to be highminded towards him but humble not to be selfe-willed but diligent not to be like a strange woman which wandereth abroad in the twi-light to get a prey but to be constant and loving to him for why ye be both of one fl●sh A man must forsake his Father Mother Brethren and Sisters to cleave to his owne wife and so likewise the wife for the husband But I must tell of one who would never agree to any such pious matter Before I come to which relation I cannot abstaine my selfe from exclamation let all the forrests wherein fierce lions are contained be joined in one and privy search made to know if ever female did the male destroy Oh no! for though by nature they be fierce and bloody yet doth nature so much governe them that those which are couples bee linkt in friendship never disagree Oh then thou savage woman why unto blood wert thou addicted as to destroy thy loving and kind husband the relation of which shall be divulged throughout this universe In the parish of Saint Margarets Westminster dwelleth one Anne Hamton in the house of Margeret Harwood this Anne Hamton had a husband which like a loving man indeed delighted in nothing more but to see his wife pleasant for he would often say my wife being troubled it behoveth me not to be at rest she being pleasant I ought to be joyful But she most unkind woman was of a contrary disposition for she at her owne house would take an occasion to be merry when the greatest mischiefe had befallen him Hee was a very laborious man but she a light huswife when he was working shee would be gossiping with one young fellow or other or else with such women as were like to her selfe never was she more joyfull then when she was out of her good husbands company what her husband got by taking paines she spent by taking her pleasure his mony being thus consumed and his goods wasted he upon a time spoke to her after this manner Wife what doe you meane to doe how dost thou intend to live my mony you spend which I get hardly my goods you waste you never got the worth of a joyntstoole my company you hate you must have better O wife wife take counsell by me thy hitherto loving husband forsake that company which hate not thy body but soule doe not drink healths to thine own confusion nor with so greedy an appetite swallow thine own destruction repent in time of thy wickednesse lest when thou thinkest thy selfe in security the Lord doth cut thee off and what will then become of thy poore soule love me thy husband hate those which intice thee to wickednesse trust not to their smiling countenances for in their hearts doe lye hid nothing but abominations If thou wilt I say have my love hate such or else never more thinke to enjoy that which as yet you have alwaies had What harme was there in all this which he spake unto her But notwithstanding she forsooth took it in distaste and giving him a scolding reply shee left the roome and went to her companion in mischief Margerite Harwood which was her Landlady to whom she revealed the secrets of her heart saying that her husband was an enemy to good fellowship and continually wrangled and brawled at her because she affected it In which she lyed for hee alwayes spoke in a very loving manner unto her except she overmuch provoked him Moreover she said that shee should never bee in quiet untill by some way or other she were shifted of him The devill finding an occasion how to accomplish a mischievous intent alwayes makes use of it hee knowes how to please every ones wicked humour Wherefore he tempted the Landlady with bloody cogitations for shee hearing her Ningles unjust complaint she cryed out that it was her own fault for letting such an abject villaine to live hang him cut his throat or poyson him for he is not fit to live upon the earth amongst good fellowes To condiscend to whose counsell she seemed very unwilling but at length the devill got the better of her and then she did agree to poyson him And for the same intent she went and got five drams of poison enough to have destroyed ten men and mixt it amongst his food which he no sooner had taken but that he presently did swell very much which she perceiving did runne to her Landl●dy who askt her how much she had given him sh● r●plyed five drams well done said she if five will not bee enough ten shall and thereupon they went up to see him but he was then burst Then did they both dissemble a lamentable cry which caused the neighbours to come in to see what was the matter where they did behold such a wofull spectacle as was sufficient to exhaust teares from the dryest eye composed of Pumice stone for there did they see his nayles quite pilled of his hands did seeme onely like two great boyles his belly seemed as if hot irons had beene thrust into it his visage was so much defaced by the quicke operation of the scalding poyson that had they not well knowne the body they would have sworne it not to have beene the man which they came to visit they all easily perceived that he was poysoned A Chyrurgion being sent for ripped up his body and found the poyson lying round about his heart As also there was found poyson in a paper in the window the Chyrurgion calling for a Venice glasse put the same therein which immediatly broke the glasse Wherefore they sent for an officer and apprehended upon suspition both his wife and Landlady whose consciences cannot but confesse that they washed both their hands in his innocent blood They are both in the Gatehouse prison of Westminster nigh London expecting a day of tryall which time will not be long till when I ●est the● gentle Reader sh●lt thou have by Gods permittance a more perfect relation
