A89431	Musgrave muzl'd: or the mouth of iniquitie stoped. Being a true and cleer vindication of Sir Arthur Hazelrige from a false and scandalous accusation of John Musgrave, in his late pamphlet intituled, A true and exact relation of the great and heavie pressurs and grievances the well-affected of the Northern bordering counties lye under by Sir A.H. misgovernment. With a true but not exact character of the said Musgrave in some discoveries of him.	Price, John, Citizen of London, Attributed name.	1651 (1651)	Wing M3157; Thomason E625_11; ESTC R206469	26,199	39

their Grievances and Oppression and crave Relief in their behalf as appears by their Letters Copies whereof are hereunto annexed Whereas this proud Boaster glories that the well-affected in his Country did become so many Sollicitors unto him that he would be pleased to be their Sollicitor-General to present their Grievances and Oppressions c. and in the Title-page of his Book takes in the Northern bordering Counties I thought fit to let you see how the County of Northumberland do throw the falshood of it in his face as appears by this ensuing Letter from the grand Jury of that County occasioned by the sight of this scandalous Pamphlet and sent up Post unto the Councel of State Right Honorable We the Grand Jury for the County of Northumberland at the now Sessions of the Peace having seen a Book published by one John Musgrave who therein pretends the great and heavy Pressures and Grievances the well-affected of the Northern bordering Counties lie under by Sir Arthur Haslerigs Misgovernment and placing in Authority men disaffected to the present Government and having perused the Book and finding our selves therein much concerned as being the most Northern bordering County to Scotland we presume humbly to acquaint Your Lordships That as the Author of the Book is altogether unknown to us so also all his Relations Complaints and Petitions without our consent And we cannot but wonder that any man durst assume so much boldness as to present to this Honorable Councel in the name of the well-affected in the four Northern Counties such false and scandalous things We shall not trouble your Lordships with the particulars in his Book few of them concerning our County but having diligently perused the Book we find it chiefly endeavors to make the world believe that Sir Arthur Haslerig is a Countenancer of Delinquents a Friend to the Scots and an Enemy to honest men and the present Government We hope we need not say any thing to wipe off those seeming stains Sir Arthur is well known to the Parliament and his actions have sufficiently testified his affections and faithfulness to the Publique Interest and good of this Nation yet we being his neighbors and having seen his just and equal dealings and being partakers of exceeding much good by him cannot hold our peace and we dare say if all the four Counties may have leave to speak their own words they would tell your Lordships more then we can say on his behalf It is strange to us that Sir Arthur should be counted a Friend to Delinquents surely he is not so in these parts We very well remember that long before the Parliament made an Act to restrain Papists and Delinquents Sir Arthur Haslerig caused those that had been in Arms against the Parliament in our County especially the Gentlemen and those that had been Officers to be apprehended and those that were active and dangerous he continued under strict bond not to go from their own houses and others about a mile from home none above five and none of them to keep Arms in their houses nor to speak or do any thing against the Authority of the Parliament and divers desperate men he kept prisoners in Newcastle and we suppose he took the same course in other Counties and for his being an Enemy to honest men we must needs tell your Lordships those that fear the Lord bless God for him and the mercies they enjoy by him Those that love the Parliament amongst us will acknowledg his care and tenderness of them and his unwearyed Endevors to preserve them and the Interest of the Parliament and all the poor people will confess the happiness and benefit they have received by his means they are exceeding sensible of the Miseries and Oppressions they long groaned under and of the Ease and Freedom they are now partakers of And for those Gentlemen now intrusted by the Parliament with the Power of this County we know not how nor by whom they were placed in Authority whether by recommendation of Sir Arthur Haslerig or others but we are sure they are those that have been most active in promoting the Parliaments Interest and have kept firm through all changes to the service of their Country and their righteous dealings in their Trust have made their Names famous among the people and we hope they are not afraid to give an account of themselves when Authority shall require it And for Sir Arthur Haslerigs being a Friend to the Scots Faction let his activity care and industry to raise men against them speak for him and after our Army was gone into Scotland his pains and labor to furnish them with Provisions and Supplies without which they had been forced to retreat as we have heard My Lord We could renumerate our late last Grievances and our present Mercies and instance in many particulars what benefits we have reaped by Sir Arthur Haslerig and those in Authority amongst us but it would too much trouble your Lordship onely we make bold to say we exceedingly wonder that such scandalous Complaints should be suffered to pass in print which though they receive not much credit in our days yet may lay a stain upon the posterity of those whose Names are precious and deserve to be had in perpetual remembrance We doubt not of Your Lordships Justice in acquitting the Just We are my Lord Your Lordships most faithful and humble Servants Richard Hearon Robert Pearson John Midford Rich Dawson Thomas Pye William Lawson Thomas Watson George Marshal Henry Lawson Robert Dalton Thomas Megison Cuthbert Fenwick John Shafto Thomas Fenwick Ro Megison George Hoslop George Wharton Morpeth in Northumberland 16 January 1650. Arric 17. That Your Petitioner hath lately discovered sundry concealed and sequestred Delinquents of great Estates which will bring in to the State ten thousand pounds and more if the Commissioners for Sequestration made by Sir Arthur Haslerig were honest and faithful men but in regard most of the said Cōmissioners are Delinquents and Sequestrable themselves and all of them disaffected to the present Government they do what in them lies to hinder Your Petitioner in the prosecution thereof Whereas this Musgrave boasts of his discovery of Delinquents Estates to the value of 10000 l. if the Commissioners made by Sir A. H. had been honest and faithful the truth is this Musgrave came with Mr Can to Sir A. H. his Chamber the last time he was in Town which was about April last and gave the like Information whereupon Sir A. H. conceiving that if Musgrave had power he would be the better enabled unto a through discovery and bringing in unto the State those great sums of Mony thought fit to move the Commissioners for Compounding to make him one of their Commissioners for Sequestration for Cumberland which accordingly they did and Sir A. confesseth that he was exceedingly mistaken in Mr Musgrave and if there was any dishonest and unfaithful that he put in or was an occasion of being put into Commission
