delivered to the President of the Councel till some time after the date of it the next day they received this Order or Warrant from the Protector Oliver Protector RIght trusty and right well beloved We greet you well Whereas by an Ordinance Entituled An Ordinance for the better regulating and limiting the Jurisdiction of the High Court of Chancery It is among other things Ordained that the Masters of the Chancery in Ordinary shall be only six in number to be now and from time to time appointed by the Lord Protector for the time being We according to the said Ordinance do appoint William Lenthal Esq Master of the Rolles John Sadler Nathanael Hubart Arthur Barnardiston Thomas St. Nicholas and Kâ—bert Aldworth Esq to be the six Masters of the Chancery in Ordinar and do hereby signifie unto you our pleasure that they be sworn and admitted accordingly given at White-Hall this second day of May 1655. To our Right trusty and Right well beloved Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke Knight Sir Thomas Widrington Kt. and John L'Isle Esq Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal of England Upon Receipt of this Warrant they gave the Oath to the six Masters of the Chancery named in the Order it being the old Oath and they proceeded in ordinary business of the Court according to the former course Letters from the Barbadoes of some Dutch Ships there Trading seized upon by Pen and his Fleet ready to sail from thence but whither the Officers knew not That they only waited for more stores from London which were not yet come to them That Pen had here recruited his men and sent some Forces to the Leeward Islands That the English here love to Trade more with the Dutch then with their Country men That Pen and Venable settled in the Barbadoes a Court by Commission to levy what should appear to be owing there to the Dutch and to make seizures of all Dutch who should Trade there That they were now six thousand Land-men and five thousand Sea-men and intended shortly to set Sail upon their design Letters of the Duke of Savoys cruel persecuting the Protestants in Piedmont by taking away their Goods and Estates and putting them in Prison and carrying away of their Children using all means with violence to make them forsake their Religion and the purity of the Gospel which when they could not do the Priests persuaded the Duke to send an Army against them to force them to Conformity who sent eight thousand men against these poor quiet people and Loyal Subjects the Army fell upon them slew many of them with small loss and took many Prisoners whom they used with all cruelty and then put them to death Others of them with their Wives and Children fled unto the Mountains whilst the Soldiers plundered their Houses and then fired them and their Churches A Solemn Fast was kept throughout London and Westminster During this Easter Term the Commissioners of the Great Seal proceeded in Chancery according to the former course of that Court and did not execute the Protectors new Ordinance which was informed to him but he could not disturb them till the Term was over and then was quick with them for their disobedience June 1655. Divers sollicitations were made to Whitelocke by sundry persons whose interest lay that way that he should recant the Letter he had subscribed with Widdrington and Lenthal that he was not satisfied to execute the Protectors New Ordinance concerthe Chancery and that he would promise to do it and to Conform to his Highness pleasure and that then he should be continued in the place of Commissioner of the Great Seal otherwise he must expect to be put out of that good and great Office Whitelocke answered them that no worldly considerations could prevail with him to do any thing contrary to his Judgment and Conscience for then he knew he should offend a greater Protector and better Friend than my Lord Protector could could be That he had taken an Oath to execute the place of Commissioner of the Great Seal Legally and Justly and for him to execute this Ordinance as a Law when he knew that those who made it had no Legal power to make a Law could not be justified in Conscience and would be a betraying of the Rights of the people of England and too much countenancing of an illegal Authority That as long as he should continue a Commissioner of the Great Seal he would execute that place according to Law and do right to the parties in Court after the best of his Judgment and Conscience but to do an Illegal Act and to execute such an Ordinance as he knew not to be agreeable to Law and would be an occasion of Injustice to many because he would thereby keep himself in the place of a Commissioner he thought was not according to good Conscience nor honesty and therefore he resolved to give himself satisfaction rather than any other and further than this he could not be persuaded This Order was brought to the Lords Commissioners To the Right Honorable the Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal My Lords I Am commanded to signifie unto your Lordships his Highness and the Councels pleasure That your Lordships do attend his Highness with the Great Seal at six of the Clock this Evening I am My Lord your Lordships most humble Servant Henry Scobell White-Hall June 6. 1655. As soon as this Letter came to them they understood the meaning of it and attended with the Great Seal at the time appointed at the Councel-Chamber and were after a little waiting called in The Protector gravely told them That he was sorry some of them could not satisfie their own Consciences to execute the Ordinance concerning the Chancery which they were informed had much good in it to the publick but he confessed that every one was to satisfie himself in matter to be performed by him and that he had not the worse opinion of any man for refusing to do that whereof he was doubtful but in this particular the Affairs of the Common-Wealth did require a Conformity of the Officers thereof and their Obedience to Authority and being some of them refused to execute this Act as was enjoyned they were compelled thereby to put this charge of the Custody of the Great Seal into the hands of some others who might be satisfied that it was their duty to perform this Command and to put the Ordinance in Execution Whitelocke being the antientest of the Commissioners told his Highness That their scruple was not upon the Authority of his Highness and the Councel as to the Command of all matters concerning the Government of the Common Wealth but only as to the effect of this Ordinance to be Executed as a Law the which they apprehended and had formerly given their reason for it would be of great prejudice to the Publick and would be contrary to what they had formerly by their Oath promised and being yet unsatisfied
which was furthered by Whitelocke's advice to the Protector 20. The Commissioners of the Treasury made several reports to the Protector and Council of Arrears of money due to the state and upon advice with them his Highness and the Council made several orders for the Collecting and bringing in of those Arrears December 1657. 1. News of the King of Sweden's proceedings in the Isle of Funen 3. The distaste between the Protector and Bradshaw was perceived to increase 6. Order for the prosecution of some persons who had committed very great wasts and spoils in Forests 7. The Protector was perswaded to take to heart and to further the relief of the poor persecuted Protestants in the Vallies of Piedmont and to send an Agent to the Duke of Savoy to negotiate for favour to them as other Princes had done 11. Writs of Summons under the great Seal were sent to divers persons to sit as Members in the other House of Parliament The Form of the Writs was the same with those which were sent to summon the Peers in Parliament They were in all sixty among whom were divers Noblemen Knights and Gentlemen of ancient Families and good Estates and some Colonels and Officers of the Army Their Names were as followeth The Lord Richard Cromwell the Protectors eldest Son The Lord Henry Cromwell his other Son Lord Deputy of Ireland Nathaniel Fiennes John Lisle Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal Henry Lawrence Lord President of his Highness Privy Council The Lord Charles Fleetwood Robert Earl of Warwick Edmund Earl of Mulgrave Edward Earl of Manchester William Viscount Say and Seal Lord John Cleypole Master of the Horse Philip Viscount Lisle eldest Son to the Earl of Leicester Charles Viscount Howard Philip Lord Wharton Thomas Lord Fauconbridge Lord John Desborough Lord Edward Mountague Generals at Sea George Lord Eure.

Colonel Sir John Reynolds who commanded the English Forces that joyned with the King of France was in a Pink coming over with Colonel White and others from Mardike for England and upon Goodwin Sands the Pink was cast away and all their men in her were drowned Among them was one William de Vaux a young man a good Scholar and very ingenious and being in a great storm in a former Voyage he vainly said That if ever he went to Sea again he would be contented that God should let him be drowned And now being again at Sea the Judgment imprecated by him did fall upon him and he was now drowned 24. The Commissioners of the Treasury prepared the business of the Contract with Commissioners for the Excise and new Impost 25. Some Congregations being met to observe this day according to former solemnity and the Protector being moved that Souldiers might be sent to suppress them he was advised against it as that which was contrary to the Liberty of Conscience so much owned and pleaded for by the Protector and his friends but it being contrary to Ordinances of Parliament which were also opposed in the passing of them that these days should be so solemnized the Protector gave way to it and those Meetings were suppressed by the Souldiers January 1657. 1. Whitelocke having lent Mr. Rushworth some Manuscripts he attended Whitelocke to shew him his Historical Collections as his Highness had ordered 3. A Meeting of the Gentlemen of the County of Bucks at Merchant-Taylors Hall where they had a great Feast 9. The Lord Willoughby petition'd the Protector for his Highness Order to go into the Country to dispatch some necessary business in relation to his Estate and promising to return to Prison which Petition the Protector granted 12. The Protector resolved to have a Collection for the poor persecuted Protestants of Piedmont 20. The Parliament met according to their Adjournment and the Members of the other House summoned by Writ met and sate in the Lords House as the Lords used to do formerly The Protector came thither and the Speaker with the House of Commons being sent for by the Black Rod came to the Lords House where the Protector made a solemn Speech to them but was short by reason of his Indisposition of health and after him the Lord Commissioner Fiennes spake to them more at large My Lords and Gentlemen of both the most honourable Houses of Parliament AMongst the manifold and various Dispensations of God's Providence of late years this is one and it is a signal and remarkable Providence that we see this day in this place a Chief Magistrate and two Houses of Parliament Jacob speaking to his Son Joseph said I had not thought to have seen thy face and lo God hath shewed me thy seed also Meaning his two Sons Ephraim and Manasseh And may not many amongst us well say some years since We had not thought to have seen a Chief Magistrate again amongst us and lo God hath shewn us a Chief Magistrate in his two Houses of Parliament Now may the good God make them like Ephraim and Manasseh that the three Nations may be blest in them saying God make thee like these two Houses of Parliament which two like Leah and Rachel did build the House of Israel May you do worthily in Ephrata and be famous in Bethlehem May it be your great business to procure the peace the safety and the prosperity of these three Nations and these things too not for themselves only but in order yet to greater and higher ends the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ amongst us and the Glory of God in the good of all men but especially of the Churches of God amongst men which as they are God's most precious Jewels and his chiefest care so must they also hold the choicest place in the eyes and in the hearts of all those that act under him and are cloathed with his power and authority In order to the great and glorious end you may please in the first place to reflect upon the Posture that
no mistaking That it was resolved as a thing of ceremony and respect that they should make Visits but not to any of those who were excepted persons and to refuse them being in the Enemies quarters they thought not fit That they agreed that by way of discourse they should endeavour all they could that the Propositions might be granted in general that the King should allow them the Title of Parliament next the Government and settlement of the Church and lastly the Militia That they did agree that in all their discourses this should be the subject matter and that they should press the obtaining of them That Mr. Hollis and Mr. Whitelocke did acquaint the Committee that they had an intention to visit the Earl of Lindsey and he thinks the Earl of Southampton and very suddenly after they did acquaint them that they had been there and of a long discourse which they had together That to say particularly what the discourse was he could not charge his Memory but in general it was the discourse that past at that meeting That he remembers but one visit they spake of and it was a part of their agreement to acquaint one another with all the circumstances of their visits That the Earl of Lindsey and the Earl of Southampton and he thinks the Lord Savile were named by Mr. Hollis and Mr. Whitelocke to have been at that Meeting That he was told by them among other things that they had little hopes that they should have satisfaction in their desires That he doth not remember any mention of a Paper given in by them to the Earl of Lindsey That the Intelligence they had there was various some had hopes of a good Issue of the business others had not That Mr. Pierpoint had ill relations of the Commissioners to their disparagement And at the Conference with Mr. Hollis and Mr. Whitelocke there were very ill characters given of them He desired that nothing might be taken as positive from him concerning persons After the Earl of Denbigh the L. Wenman told the Committee that there was an agreement among the Commissioners of the Parliament at Oxford as the Earl of Denbigh had related it to pay Civilities and Visits to those that were civil to them but not to any who were excepted in the Propositions from Pardon That he remembers not whether they did agree to press the granting of the Propositions any of them more than the others onely by discourse among themselves that they should press those that were of most difficulty to be granted That they were acquainted by Mr. Hollis and Mr. Whitelocke with their visiting of the Earl of Lindsey That to his best remembrance they said the Earl of Southampton and the Lord Savile were there and mentioned the particulars of their discourse but he did not remember them nor that they acquainted them with any hopes they had of having the Propositions granted He remembred that Mr. Hollis said a little before their coming out of Town that he had a Paper again which he spake publickly That in their discourse they did insist principally and they found it was thought fit to do so upon the Propositions concerning Religion and the Militia and he did think that the Earl of Lindsey was spoken of when Mr. Hollis said that he had a Paper again That he and Mr. Whitelocke were coming by All Souls College and he intended to visit Sir Thomas Aylsbury but hearing that Sir Edw. Hyde was there who was a person excepted Mr. Whitelocke did forbear to goe in thither Others of the Commissioners who were at Oxford with the Propositions did declare themselves to the same effect that the Earl of Denbigh and the Lord Wenman had done and so the Committee rose 14. The Assembly presented to the House a Book which they had examined full of Blasphemies and Heresies but that since the Printing of it the Authour was dead and they desired the House would put some publick example of Justice upon it The House referred to the Committee of Examinations to find out the Printer of this Book to be proceeded against according to Justice and ordered that all the Books should be brought in by the Booksellers and be burnt by the Hangman and they gave thanks to the Assembly for their care in this business A List was sent to the Parliament of the Persons slain and taken by Sir Thomas Fairfax at the Battle of Langport of Goring's part 2 Quarter Masters General 60 other Officers and 200 Soldiers slain and 100 drowned Goring Sir Thomas Aston and others wounded Prisoners taken the L. General of their Ordnance 3 Colonels 40 other Officers and 1900 Souldiers and 2000 Horse 31 Cornets of horse 20 Colours of foot 4000 Arms 2 Field pieces and 3 loads of Ammunition Of Sir Thomas Fairfax his part were slain 2 Reformado Captains a Captain Lieutenant and about 50 Soldiers Colonel Cooke Major Bethel and about 16 of his Troop wounded A day of Thanksgiving ordered to be kept for the Victory at Langport and the Ministers desired to remember the goodness of God in preserving this City from the plague A Collection ordered to be on that day for the poor plundered people of the West Sir William Ermine and Mr. Berwis two Members of the House who had been Commissioners in the North had the thanks of the House for their good Service there Major General Pointz met with a party of the King 's from Sandall Castle killed three of them and took 16 of them prisoners The Scots Commissioners here gave notice to Mr. H. and Mr. Wh. by their friends that they had certain intercepted Papers and Letters of the Lord Savile's which he was sending to Oxford and the chief scope and end of them was to be informed from thence whether Mr. Hollis or Mr. Whitelocke kept intelligence with the Duke of Richmond the Earl of Lindsey or any others of the King's party that he might have the more whereof to accuse them here It was thought fit by their friends that the Scots Commissioners should be desired to acquaint the House of Commons with the Papers upon which it should be moved there to refer them to the Committee for the Lord Savile's business and the same was done accordingly This afternoon that Committee met and these Papers were brought unto them by the Lord Wareston and another of the Scots Commissioners with a Complement expressing their desire to serve the Parliament in any thing within their knowledge and power The Papers being read to the effect before mentioned the Lord Savile was called in and the Papers shewed to him and he owned them to be his hand Being asked what Warrant he had to hold intelgence with the King's party at Oxford he being now within the Parliaments Quarters and come in to them He answered that he was authorised to do this by the Sub-committee for private and secret intelligence for the Committee of both Kingdomes Being again asked who of
good deliberation and advice and his Highness was persuaded that it would much conduce to Publick good to have it duely executed which this Order did require which he delivered to Whitelocke and said his Highness did not doubt of their ready compliance therein Whitelocke spake as antient and told the Committee That they had not the honour to be advised with upon the making of this Ordinance and that they were under an Oath and as far as they could they should readily comply with the pleasure of his Highness and the Councel and desired some time to peruse and consider the Ordinance Some debate in general there was about it and the Master of Rolls spake most resolutely against it The Committee would not enter into a Debate about it but gravely admonished the Lords Commissioners to be careful not to oppose his Highness intentions for the common good and so they dismissed them After this the Commissioners of the Seal and the Master of the Rolls had several meetings and consultations about the execution of this new Ordinance The Commissioner L'Isle was wholly for the execution of it Sir Thomas Widdrington the Master of the Rolls and Whitelocke were not satisfied for the execution of it and declared their reasons against it and observations of inconveniencies in it which are as followeth The Commissioners and Master of the Rolles are by this Act of Regulation made instrumental to deprive several persons of their Freehold without Offence or Legal Tryal which reflecting upon the Great Charter and so many Acts of Parliament they humbly desire they may have the opinion of all the Judges of England in point of Law therein The fourth Rule of the Ordinance is that the first process in Chancery be a Subpaena which shall be open and that as many Defendants as the Plaintiff doth desire be inserted into the same paying no more but one shilling six pence for every Subpaena thus to be distributed six pence for the Seal and twelve pence to the Office Vpon serving the Subpaena open the abuse now too frequently used will be much increased by Forgery of Names Persâ—ns and Dates 5 That no Subpaena be sued out until a Bill be Filed and a Certificate thereof be brought unto the Subpaena Office under the Hand of the Chief Clerk or his Deputy for which Certificate the chief Clerk shall receive no fee. The Exhibiting a Bâ—ll before a Subpaena will draw an unnecessary expence and trouble in many Suits which would end upon the bare service of the Subpaena as is found by dayly experience and is mischievious to the people in many particulars ready to be expressed and only profitable to Lawyers and Attornies 6. That in default of appearance upon Oath made of due service or in default of answer within due time security being put in as is provided an Attachment with Proclamation shall Issue to the Sheriff who shall cause the same to be Proclaimed at the door of the Defendants dwelling House Lodging or last abode between Ten and Two by the Sheriffs Bayliffs or special Bayliffs and the Bayliffs shall have power for the apprehension of the party if need shall be to break open any House or Door where the party is in the day time provided that if the Warrant be to special Bayliffs they shall not break up any House or Door but in presence of a Constable who upon the shewing of such Warrant is required to be assisting unto the Bayliffs and if the Defendant cannot be apprehended nor shall appear by the return of the Writ the Plaintiff may return the Attachment as often as there shall be cause which Attachment shall be in Lieu of a Commission of Rebellion and Serjeant at Arms. This seems to advance the Jurisdiction of the Chancery upon a mean Process beyond an exemption at Law to break open not only the parties but any other persons House without notice or request made to be admitted which may be used to the Robbing of Houses and taking away Evidences and other great abuses it being far different from the awarding the Sergeant at Arms who is a known and Responsible Officer and Acts only by special Order in open Court upon satisfaction of the heighth of the contempt and his Warrant is under the Hands and Seals of the Commissioners and he is also answerable to them for his miscarryage if any be and the other Process is issued by Clerks of course which reflects upon the Liberty and safety of the people of this Nation wherein every Ordinary Clerk hath power to do more then all the Judges of England and how safe it is for Judges to award such process is left to consideration 7. The Defendant shall not be compelled to answer until the Plaintiff with one Surety at least hath acknowledged a Recognizance before a Master of the Chancery in Ordinary or Extraordinary the sum not to be under twenty Marks conditioned to pay such Costs to the Defendant in that Suit as the Court of Chancery shall award if they see cause to award any for which Recognizance he shall be paid twelve pence only and no more and such Master of the Chancery shall for as much Certifie every such Recognizance into the Office of the Petty-bag in Chancery to be there Filed and the Officer there shall give a Certificate thereof to the Plaintiff or his Attorney upon request and for the Filing such Recognizances making Certificate and keeping an Alphabet thereof he shall receive twelve pence and no more but where the Plaintiff shall be admitted in Forma Pauperis there no Security is to be required By this the Defendant is not bound to answer without the Plaintiff gives Security by Recognizance which will be an incumbrance upon his Land so long as that Suit endures which will hinder Commerce and disable Infants and persons Non Compos Mentis to Sue and is of great delay and five times the former expence before the Suit can have an answer and the discharging and Suing Recognizances will increase motions Suits and Expences and if the Suits never proceed it will be difficult to have it dicharged and cannot be but by Orders albeit the parties consent and the Rule it self is uncertain not expressing to whom the Recognizance shall be given and doth no more than what may be done upon an Order for Costs without so much expence which is only of advantage to Lawyers Officers and Clerks 8. That where a Defendant might answer by Commission in the Country he shall not now be forced to take a Commission but may answer upon Oath before a Master of the Chancery in the Country in like manner and by such time as if a Commission had issued and that the Lords Commissioners for the Great Seal do take care for that purpose there be in every County a convenient number of such of the Justices of the Peace resident in that County as they shall judg to be of the greatest Ability and Integrity appointed to
