The proceedings of the honourable Councell of War, according to the article of war justified. The pardon of his Excellencie the Lord Generall Essex asserted, and the grounds of it declared, and presented to the consideration of all. With certain considerable queries of publike concernement. Britannicus for his eminent service to this cause, Parliament, and kingdome, encouraged and vindicated from a late aspertion, in this occasion by a grose, seditious, and abusive pamphlet, called, a check.

any infallible ground nay rather the contrary may they not rather suppose that the indulgencie or mercie is now passed away upon extraordinary grounds and that any such expectation will be vain and too conspicuously dangerous and so nothing but execution to bee expected and acted like Esay who coming too late when the blessing was passed upon Jacob could not obtain it again though he sought it carefully with teares 8 Whether the Col Fiennes suffering to expiate the sufferings of others bee a just ground seeing that upon such a principle every Governour or Commander in chiefe may be demanded upon every unfortunate action that hath any sad consequence attending it and whither hath not the Collonel suffered aboundantly both in his credit by mis-reports and Pamphlets and by the unfortunate surrender it selfe and in his life by hazarding both his person there and since to a trvall and condemnation 9 Whether one of the Prosecutors did not penne the Check himselfe because there is such larding his own deserts and whether did he not penne this very clause Mr. Willam Prinne appointed an Auditor for the grand Conge deserted accounts of the Kingdome chased out and whether is it not printed at the Prosecutors Presse 10 Whether one may not suffer martyrdome and endure publike sufferings and pillowrings and further give their bodies to be burned yet want charity whether is not the holy Scripture plain for this or no and whither would not this be taken into sad and serious consideration by the Prosecutors 11 Whether is it such grosse flattery and prevarication in Britannicus modestly and in three or foure lines to name the vertue of a Gentleman wel known and reputed before though now prosecuted beyond mercie to blood and death whither is not rather a good Christian advice to the prosecutors an excellent morall a godly admonition 12 Whether is it not a piece of great disservice to this Kingdome and a great satisfaction to all Malignants and a great Courtesie and encouragement to the vain Pamphlet Aulicus to cast any such checks and aspersions upon Britannicus and whither hath not the author of it of late been in the Country at Oxford with Aulicus or or no or received some intimations from Court or bribe if he be a Lawyer to write against Britannicus whom all the well affected judge to have writ most impartially of the publike affairs and to have undeceived and disabused the people as much as any that hath come forth by being serious with the sadder judgements and more pleasant with the sanguine taking downe the traverse worke of the moderne machaivellisme and whither doth he not deserve a good reward and encouragement from the State for this service 13 The last Querie is this Whether it will please the Malignants or well affected party best to see us prosecute any of our own party pulling of the blossomes from our own trees which have flourished so long in this State and Church onely because some of the fruit hath been casually and unfortunately blown off and because there is not that fruit at all times of the year which we expect I will conclude with Mr. Prinues own words spoken at the Councell of War before many witnesses of unquestionable or edit They were these My meaning is not in saying Bristol was traiterously and cowardly delivered into the enemies hands that Col Fiennes is a Traitor or hath done this out of any premeditate malice or intelligence with the enemie or that he is a coward or hath done any cowardly act either heretofore in other places or during this Siege but onely in this one individuall act of surrendring the Towne before it was reduced to utmost extremity But these words traiterously and cowardly must be used in the language of the Law in an impeachment as felony must be used in an indictment and therefore it is that I use them These words he used or fully to this effect as will be deposed by these Gentlemen M. Iames Finnes M. Thomas Earle two Members of the House of commons M. Iohn Fiennes Cap. Tho. Temple Lievtenant Edward Scotton M. Hen. Pitt M Samuel Love of Bristoll Let all the world judge whether in his Pamphlet which hee spreads abroad onely to stir up the people he would have men thus understand him when he so often exclaims of Tron and the most traiterous and cowardly surrender Bristol FINIS
