But for many weightie Reasons omitted And now Publish't by MARCHIAMONT NEEDHAM And PAGAN FISHER Servants Poets and Pampleteers to his Infernal Highnesse Imprimatur THO. DUN Esq LONDON Printed and are to be sold at the Old Exchange and in Westminster-Hall 1660. Feb. 6 Cromwell's SPEECH AT THE GALLOWS GENTLEMEN IT being a thing commonly expected at this place to speak something I shall not break that good old custome although I must needs confesse I have broken all else that lay in my power In truth Friends it is a cold Season and therefore I hope if I do not speak so much as you may expect I being grown an old man you will pardon me But here is my good Lord Bradshaw to whom I shall refer my self to speak the rest And first hum hauc you must understand which I should have been loth you should but that you know alreadie That I was the Son of a Brewer in the Isle of Elie which I need not to have told you for it is visibly to be seen in my Nose being the colour of his Copper I am loth to say either He or I were Gentlemen because many here would be apt to give me the lye However for my part I followed alwaies Gentlemens exercises Swearing Whoreing Drinking and other the like commendable qualities whilst I was a young man When I grew more in years I grew more cunning and having play'd the Fools part before I play'd the Knaves now and by my plausible carriage and opposing in a high nature all Government and Order in Church and State I won the love and notice of all the Hair-brain'd Sectaries of those times who afterwards was very serviceable to my ambitious thoughts And to let you know what little reason I have to love learning I was expel'd the Universitie but I think I was even with them since I was forthwith made a Committee-man and how I behaved my self therein is notoriously known I think I did not at all swerve from the first constitution of that Office as you may read in that elegant Character of a Committee-man given by Mr. John Cleaveland to which I refer you But I was not contented with this preferment alone which made me seek further and indeed though I have none of the best Faces I quickly found 't was well approved off for a Warlike or Ammunition Face having the advantage of a light from my Nose in all dark and Warlike Stratagems not excepting Plundering itself by which I quickly found a nearer way to get Wealth then by Brewing For I fell to hopping from a Captaine to a Collonel and so on till I got to be a Generall and now I am fairly hop't hither what cheats I acted on God and man you all too well know and therefore I need not name them But I must tell you I loved I and that my own Daughter Cl●ypool 〈◊〉 and John Lambert's Lady too I think shee loved me too her Husband came to preferment by it and let him when he comes hither tell you the rest which I know will not be long after You will wonder I am so ingenious to confesse this Why truly I will tell you and I speak in presence of two of my loving Friends by me I did much more that was in private which you may wonder at should I tell but I was just in it I would not do unjustly for a World 't was according to my agreement with the old Gentleman that the King of Sweden keeps his Court with where I am sure we shall be very merrie And I think if I am not mistaken we have laid a designe which if we do not differ among our selves we may carry on with successe But oh the violencie of some cursed Cavele●rish spirits I think there are not many but those few may spoile all and hinder that good work of Reformation we intend But I shall hang draw plunder and decimate them And indeed it will be an unspeakable comfort to my spirit to go through with so good a work nay I hope to make them as good and orderly as my souldiers were here and I doubt not but to raise great sums for the poore Protestants in Piedmont and elsewhere and it shall be my care they shall never have it But since I speak of Caveleers I cannot forget George Monck I thought he had been surely one of us but he may be glad I left a fool to my son he had never had his ends else but let it passe 't is not the first time the devil was cheated by a Monk And now good people I find my self spent I have only one or two words more and that is in behalf of two old servants of mine Hills and Field truly they were my Printers and servants the first was a great Sufferer before my power was and I think unjustly 't was only for having but two wives a venial sin I think I wish these may be entertained or suffered to follow their Trades and I dare undertake to send them work and for an earnest I desire they may print this my Speech Whereupon he was turned off the Ladder almost before he had done and now lies buried under the Gallows His EPITAPH Here lies Ignominious Dust Which was the only Seat of Lust A man and yet a Monster too That did both King and State undo 'T is said by all this is his doom And that he ne're deserv'd a Tomb. Ireton's Speech at the Gallows Dear Friends IT is the Custome of this place to speak although indeed I am very unwilling but it being an ordinary thing on this occasion you will not be denied I must indeed confess that I have been absent from you a long time but yet my Spirit was ever with you and in continual counsel with my Father Nol and Bradshaw but before I left you I perfected my business in sending the King into a better world though I thought other yet since I have been in pursuit of him many a time and made much enquiry after him but could never find him nor hear of him where I have been It may be some may wonder if I should here declare my self a Gentleman I am sure I have a very fair Coat of Arms to shew sor't though I confess I bought them Truly Friends I think the Good Old Cause had not so well prospered in case I had not went Agent to the other world whither I had not so soon went but that I thought I might meet many of the Cavaliers there and be a continual plague to them by the Interest I had in the black Prince Indeed I must needs say he shewed me a great respect at my first arrival especially when I did but name my Father Cromwel and Bradshaws names to him though at first he took my Father in law to be Dick his Son but when I informed
