Me but this Delay I doubt not but I shall give some satisfaction to you all here and to My People after that and therefore I do require you as you will answer it at the dreadful Day of Judgment that you will consider it once again Bradshaw Sir I have received direction from the Court. KING Well Sir Bradshaw If this must be re-inforced or any thing of this nature your Answer must be the same and they will proceed to Sentence if you have nothing more to say KING I have nothing more to say but I shall desire that this may be entred what I have said Bradshaw The Court then Sir hath something to say unto you which although I know it will be very unacceptable yet notwithstanding they are willing and are resolved to discharge their Duty Then Bradshaw went on in a long Harangue endeavouring to justifie their proceedings misapplying Law and History and raking up and wresting whatsoever he thought fit for his purpose alleging the Examples of former Treasons and Rebellions both at home and abroad as authentick proofs and concluding that the King was a Tyrant Traitor Murtherer and publick Enemy to the Commonwealth of England His Majesty having with His wonted Patience heard all these Reproaches answered I would desire only one word before you give Sentence and that is That you would hear Me concerning those great Imputations that you have laid to My charge Bradshaw Sir you must give me now leave to go on for I am not far from your Sentence and your time is now past KING But I shall desire you will hear Me a few words to you for truly whatever Sentence you will put upon Me in respect of those heavy Imputations that I see by your speech you have put upon Me. Sir it is very true that Bradshaw Sir I must put you in mind truly Sir I would not willingly at this time especially interrupt you in any thing you have to say that is proper for us to admit of but Sir you have not owned us as a Court and you look upon as a sort of people met together and we know what Language we receive from your Party KING I know nothing of that Bradshaw You disavow us as a Court and therefore for you to address your self to us not to acknowledge us as a Court to judge of what you say it is not to be permitted And the truth is all along from the first time you were pleased to disavow and disown us the Court needed not to have heard you one word for unless they be acknowledged a Court and engaged it is not proper for you to speak Sir we have given you too much Liberty already and admitted of too much Delay and we may not admit of any further Were it proper for us to do we should hear you freely and we should not have declined to have heard you at large what you could have said or proved on your behalf whether for totally excusing or for in part excusing those great and hainous Charges that in whole or in part are laid upon you But Sir I shall trouble you no longer your Sins are of so large a dimension that if you do but seriously think of them they will drive you to a sad consideration and they may improve in you a sad and serious repentance And that the Court doth heartily wish that you may be so penitent for what you have done amiss that God may have mercy at least-wise upon your better part Truly Sir for the other it is our parts and duties to do that that the Law prescribes We are not here Jus dare but Jus dicere we cannot be unmindful of what the Scripture tells us For to acquit the guilty is of equal abomination as to condemn the innocent we may not acquit the guilty What sentence the Law affirms to a Traitor Tyrant a Murtherer and a publick enemy to the Countrey that Sentence you are now to hear read unto you and that is the Sentence of the Court. Make an O yes and command Silence while the Sentence is read Which done their Clerk Broughton read the Sentence drawn up in Parchment WHereas the Commons of England in Parliament had appointed them an High Court of Justice for the Trial of Charles Stuart King of England before whom he had been three times convented and at the first time a Charge of High Treason and other Crimes and Misdemeanours was read in the behalf of the Kingdom of England Here the Charge was repeated Which Charge being read unto him as aforesaid he the said Charles Stuart was required to give his Answer but he refused so to do Expressing the several passages of His refusing in the former Proceedings For all which Treasons and Crimes this Court doth adjudge That he the said Charles Stuart as a Tyrant Traitor Murtherer and a publick Enemy shall be put to death by the severing of his Head from his Body Which being read Bradshaw added This Sentence now read and published it is the Act Sentence Judgment and Resolution of the whole Court To which they all expressed their Assent by standing up as was before agreed and ordered His Majesty then said Will you hear Me a word Sir Bradshaw Sir you are not to be heard after the Sentence KING No Sir Bradshaw No Sir by your favour Sir Guard withdraw your Prisoner KING I may speak after Sentence by your favour Sir I may speak after Sentence ever By your favour hold The Sentence Sir I say Sir I do I am not suffered to speak expect what Justice other People will have The Persons that sate when Judgment was given upon the Life of their KING were these Serjeant John Bradshaw Lieutenant General Cromwell Commissary General Ireton John Lisle Esquire William Say Esquire Sir Hardresse Waller Colonel Valentine Walton Colonel Thomas Harrison Colonel Edward Whaley Colonel Thomas Pride Colonel Isaac Ewer Thomas Lord Gray of Groby Sir John Danvers Knight Sir Thomas Maleverer Baronet Sir John Bourchier Knight William Heveningham Esquire Isaac Ponnington Alderman Colonel Henry Marten Colonel William Poresoy Colonel John Berksted John Blakeston Esquire Gilbert Millington Sir William Constable Baronet Colonel Edmund Ludlow Colonel John Hutchinson Sir Michael Livesey Baronet Colonel Robert Tichburne Colonel Owen Rowe Colonel Robert Lilburne Colonel Adrian Scroope Colonel Richard Deane Colonel John Okey Colonel John Hewson Colonel William Goffe Cornelius Holland Esquire John Carew Esquire Colonel John Jones Miles Corbet Esquire Francis Allen Esquire Peregrine Pelham Esquire Colonel John More Colonel John Alured Colonel Henry Smith Humphrey Edwards Esquire Gregory Clement Esquire Thomas Wogan Esquire Sir Gregory Norton Baronet Colonel Edmund Harvey Colonel John Venne Thomas Scot.

A true Relation of the King's Speech to the Lady ELIZABETH and the Duke of GLOUCESTER the day before His Death HIS Children being come to meet Him He first gave His Blessing to the Lady Elizabeth and bade Her Remember to ●ell Her Brother James whenever She should see Him that it was his Fathers last ●●sire that he should no more look upon Charles as his Eldest Brother only but be obedient unto Him as his Sovereign And that they should love one another and forgive their Fathers Enemies Then said the King to Her Sweet Heart you will forget this No said She I shall never forget it whilst I live and pouring forth abundance of tears promised Him to write down the particulars Then the King taking the Duke of Gloucester upon His Knee said Sweet Heart now they will cut off thy Fathers Head upon which words the Child looked very stedfastly on Him Mark Child what I say They will cut off My Head and perhaps make thee a King But mark what I say You must not be a King so long as your Brothers CHARLES and JAMES do live for they will cut off your Brothers Heads when they can catch them and cut off thy Head too at last and therefore I charge you do not be made a King by them At which the Child sighing said I will be torn in pieces first Which falling so unexpectedly from one so young it made the King rejoyce exceedingly II. Another Relation from the Lady ELIZABETHS own Hand WHat the King said to me the 29. of Jan. 1648. being the last time I had the Happiness to see Him He told me He was glad I was come and although He had not time to say much yet somewhat He had to say to Me which He had not to another or leave in writing because He feared their Cruelty was such as that they would not have permitted Him to write to me He wished me not to grieve and torment my self for Him for that would be a glorious Death that He should die it being for the Laws and Liberties of this Land and for maintaining the true Protestant Religion He bid me read Bishop Andrewes Sermons Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity and Bishop Laud's Book against Fisher which would ground me against Popery He told me He had forgiven all his Enemies and hoped God would forgive them also and commanded us and all the rest of my Brothers and Sisters to forgive them He bid me tell my Mother that His thoughts had never strayed from Her and that His Love should be the same to the last Withal He commanded me and my Brother to be obedient to Her and bid me send His Blessing to the rest of my Brothers and Sisters with commendation to all His Friends So after He had given me his Blessing I took my leave Further He commanded us all to forgive those People but never to trust them for they had been most false to Him and to those that gave them Power and He feared also to their own Souls And desired me not to grieve for Him for He should die a Martyr and that He doubted not but the Lord would settle His Throne upon His Son and that we should be all happier than we could have expected to have been if he had lived With many other things which at present I cannot remember ELIZABETH III. Another Relation from the Lady ELIZABETH THE King said to the Duke of Glocester that He would say nothing to him but what was for the good of his Soul He told him that He heard the Army intended to make him King but it was a thing not for him to take upon him if he regarded the welfare of his Soul for he had two Brothers before him and therefore commanded him upon his Blessing never to accept of it unless it redounded lawfully upon him and commanded him to fear the Lord and he would provide for him LIX His MAJESTIE's Speech upon the Scaffold before White-Hall with the Manner of His Martyrdom Jan. 30.
