Elsing 〈◊〉 Earl D. LONDON Printed by Tho Banks July 9. 1645 A TRUE RELATION OF THE TAKING Of Roger Manwering Bishop of St. Davis coming from Ireland in a disguised habit in the Ship called the EAGLE By Captain IOHN POINTZ IT being my fortune by Profession to be a Souldier and being employed according to my abilities to his Majestie and Parliaments Service against those Rebels in Ireland and having dispatched some affairs I was resolved for England But before I came I had intelligence of a Fugitive that had been Voted a Delinquent in Parliament viz. Roger Manwering late Bishop of St. Davids and sometime Parson of St. Giles in the Fields He lying under the censure of the Parliament I thought became me as a dutifull Servant of the Common-wealth not to let this busines go undiscovered and to bring him to light that had been such an Enemy to the Church and State and as the Parliament hath formerly censured him and degraded him from his dignities and made him uncapable of the Ministeriall function and since the intermission of Parliaments be hath taken upon him the degree of a Bishop yet hath not amended his manners but still persevered in former courses he being as I heard bound for England in the ship called the Eagle when he heard how businesse fared in England and that there was some hopes of regaining his former dignity It was my fortune to come over in the same ship where having as God would have it some conference with his man which was with me in this ship comming for Minyard in Somerset-shiere where finding contrary to my expectation but as God appointed it the Bishop to ride in the same ship I came over in whereupon knowing of him intimated so much to the Master of the ship with the whole businesse the Bishops wife was with him a very neere kinswoman to him before he married her being of the age of 22. years far unfit for such a man he being aged 65. years his sister poor and lying on the Parish where he formerly lived in without any reliefe and he suffers his children by his former wife to shift for themselves he being examined before Thomas Lutterall Esquire he confessed that he departed from the Kingdom of England into Ireland for preferment upon the Kings promise Let the world judge if his cause had been good but that a guilty conscience pursued him whether he would have left a setled Revenewe of 1500. pounds per annum to adventure into an unknown Fortune but he remaines in durance untill the Honourable High Court of Parliament take further order with him and the Captaine well rewarded So much I will averr IOHN POINTZ Likewise it was related unto me since my coming over that the L. Strange was risen up in Arms in Lancashire intending to take away the Magazine there of Larpool and Manchester with 12000. men of the same County to assist him and to resist him a great number were raised to resist him and by the assistance of Mr. Moore who being Comanded by the Parliament to demand that Lords reason of raising such Forces and to take away the Militia By his care the Magazine is stai'd and brought unto the Lievtenant of the County till further order be heard from the Parliament Had not Master Moore came there had bin a great deal of mischief for there were on both sides raised neere nine score thousand people but thanks be to God all things are there at peace There is a report likewise of the Lord Digby and others to have bin Landed neere Hull and that they were brought in a ship called the providence with a number of brasse peeces and other ammunition he being chased by some of our ships at sea but Dighy as yet is not taken Sir Edward Stradling is taken and Colonell Ashburne and a French man with them which came from Holland in a Pinnace going for Yorke Also newe from Droghedagh of the discovery of dangerous and wicked designes upon Sir Henry Tichbourne Governour of Droghedagh As appears that Captaine Garner did alwayes frequent Sir Henry Tichbourne and did furnish him with abundance of victualls only to make him his prey and to get himself a good opinion in him his officers that they might have a good conceit of his Loyall affections and respects unto his King and Country But falshood is hid in his dissembling brest he under shadow of inviting Sir Henry Tichbourne and his officers to dinner gives them all the entertainment they could expect from him but he had so provided the businesse that if God had not had a provident eye over that City of Droghedagh it had bin betrayed to the wicked Rebells but as it is in holy writ the wicked have digged a pit for others and fall into it themselves for by the meanes of one of his own souldiers all the treachery was brought to Light which came to Sir Henry Tichbourne and craved his pardon which he obtained upon which he related how captain Garner who was so intimate with Sir Henry had provided an Army of men to take Tradagh and another Army of men to take Dundalke and another to surprise Sir Henry Tichbourne and his officers comming their to dinner but this being discovered the Captaine was taken and his Souldiers were brought to Dublin and put to the sword the Captains Castle surprised and seized upon by Sir Henry Tichbourne BE it Ordered and declared by the Lords and Commons in Parliament That no Sheriffe Major Bayliffe Parson Vicar Curate or other Officer shall from henceforth publish or Proclaim or cause to be Proclaimed or published any such Proclamations Declarations or papers which are or shall be contrary to any Order Ordinance or Declarations of the sayd Houses of Parliament or tending to the scandall or derogation of their proceedings but shall use all lawfull wayes and meanes to restraine and hinder the proceeding and publishing thereof And all Sheriffs Majors Bayliffs Parsons Vicars and Curates or other Officers that have forborn or refused or shall forbear or refuse to publish or Proclaim any such Proclamations Declarations or Papers as aforesaid or have or shall hinder the publication thereof shall be protected by the power and authority of both Houses of Parliament Ordered by the Commons in Parliament That this be forthwith Printed and Published Hen.
