condescending for the sake of Peace that his concessions were by the Rebels themselves Voted satisfactory which the Arch-Traytor Cromwell perceiving and finding that such a conclusion would hinder him from aspiring he Plotted with the Factious Army Officers to marr the whole proceedings by new modelling the Parliament and turning out such as were Inclinable to accord with his Majesty whereupon placing Guards about the Parliament-House after some conference with the Speaker Pride and Hewson sent in a Paper to the House of Commons Requiring the Impeached Members and Major-General Brown as Guilty of calling in Hammilton a Forged pretence to pick a Quarrel might be secured and brought to Justice and that the ninety and odd Members that refused to Vote against the Scotch Ingagement and all that Voted for recalling the four Votes of non Addresses to his Majesty and for a Personal Treaty and acquiescing Votes in his Majesties answer should be immediately suspended the House and that those that had done no such things should draw up their Protestations in Writing c. a brave way of making and unmaking Parliaments but the Paper being thrown out of the House with detestation whereupon all the Guards advanced and a strong Guard set at the House Door where Sir Hardress Waller and the Collonels Pride and Hewson lying purdue violently seized upon several Knights and Burgesses as they came out others they decoyed out under Sleeveless pretences and in the end seized upon debarred of Entrance and caused to decline coming no less then 200 forty one all which number were secured and kept Prisoners Hugh Peters being their Keeper who protesting against this force and Insolency done upon and against the Houses and priviledges of Parliament were released all except Major-General Brown who was kept Prisoner at St. James's Ireton bidding them at their departure look to it and see they Acted nothing against the present Parliament or Army Thus all things being brought and fitted to their purpose the King is taken from the Isle of Wight and carried to Hurst Castle a place very incommodious both for health and necessaries it standing in the Sea and no fresh water being to be had within three Miles from whence Harrison conveyed him to Winchester and so by several Journies to St. James's that insolent Traytor riding in the Coach with him and giving order to his Souldiers to beat such as pressed near either to see him or compassionate his Sufferings And now these Monsters resolving the Kings Death to make way for their greatness the offalls or fragments of a Parliament make an Ordinance whereby they took away and disanulled the Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance and at the same time the Council of War forbid any State to be used towards his Majesty whose attendants were for the most part discharged and to compleat their Villanies and to appear in their proper colours an Ordinance was brought into the Commons House by Scot for the Tryal of the King so monsterous and wicked a proposal that no Age e're parallel'd which after some debate was approved of and sent to the Lords House who cast it out with detestation which so metled them that they presently passed a Vote asserting the Supream power to lie in the Commons and that whatsoever is Enacted or declared for Law by the House of Commons in Parliament hath the force of Law which passed without a Negative Voice so that it plainly appeared at whose beck they were And upon these Votes they made the Nest wherein they hatched the Monster called An Act for the Tryal the King c. which the 9 th of January 1648 was Proclaimed in Westminster-Hall by Serjeant Danby by the Beat of Drum and sound of Trumpet and notice given that the Commissioners of the pretended High-Court of Justice were to sit the next day and that all those that had any thing to say against Charles Stuart King of England might be heard The like was done in Cheapside and at the Royal-Exchange And thus they Proclaimed their Wickedness aloud the which however Masqued with specious pretences and was then heard by most with Horror and amazement The Bloody Villains that durst sit to Judge their Lawful King were as followeth whose Name and Memory are hateful to all Mankind Oliver Cromwell that Monster in Nature Henry Ireton John Bradshaw President and scandal to the Long-Robe who a little before had

Joy that not a Cloud of Discontent appeared upon the Brow of any but such is the Malice of the Powers of Darkness to hinder the progress of the Gospel which in his Pious Reign whilst he absolutely weiled the Sword of Justice spread so wide that the like no Age had parallel'd was not wanting to raise such Pestilential Whirlwinds of Discontent or rather Treasonable Intentions as overturned all order and Government bedewing Albions Surface with Blood and lastly with that more valuable then Ten thousand vulgar lives and to accomplish it the Monsters his Agents a while sought by underhand means but at last finding the Rabble moulded for their purpose they appeared bare faced and inveighed against his Favourites and first of all the Duke of Buckingham who at length was Murthered by one Felton basely and treacherously at Portsmouth for which the Murtherer was deservedly hanged in Chains The next thing was to object against the Legality of Ship-Money though Twelve of the Judges were of opinion that the Land being in danger of an Invasion the King at any time with the advice of his Counsel might leavy Money to defend it without intrenching upon Priviledge of Parliament for indeed if such a thing might not be the Nation might be over-run with a Forreigne Enemy before money in a Parliamentary way could be raised to defend it yet these were but slight Cavels for what happened afterward for they openly encouraged the Scots to Rebel and act such Insolencies that the like happened not in that Kingdom before in the age of Man Sacriledge and Murther being counted Trifles and although they in Parliament denyed the King any supply for his urgent occasions yet for their dear Rebel Bretheren of Scotland in recompence for the mischief they had done in Church and State they voated them 100000 pounds and to shew themselves better than their words soon after added 200000 more and then fell to Impeach the noble Earl of Strafford of High-Treason as many believed upon no other account then that he was the Kings Favourite and so far proceeded in their pernicious Designs by raising Tumults with Clubs and Stalves to assault the Kings Pallace crying out Justice against the Earl and no Bishops that the King though not without the Earls consent thinking to appease those Blood thirsty Wretches after his Attaindure Signed a Bill for his Execution which on the 12 of May 1841 was Executed on Tower-Hill his Majesty being greatly averse to that Fatal Trajedy and at the same time O the Indulgence of this Blessed Prince Signed another Bill for the Houses siting till they should consent to be dissolved which they turned to his destruction for having got the Millitia into their Hands they Armed against him and to them joyned such Rake-Hells as they could scrape together of all Religions as Anabaptists Independants Quakers Presbyters Brownists Ranters Advanities Socinians and what not all fit Instruments of Hells to hew down the Ceeder of Monarchy and Imbrew the Earth with Blood of her Sons Upon this and many other affronts the King sets up his Standard at Nottingham after his having been denyed entrance into Hull by the disloyal Knight Sir John Hotham who had a Reward for his Treason the just Judgment of God soon overtook him for both he and his Son were soon after Beheaded by their Rebellious Masters Command viz. The Parliament for to please whom he had manifestly broken his Oath to his Prince And now all being in a Combustion and no likelyhood of deciding matters but by the Sword though nothing was wanting on his Majesties part that might conduce to a Peace and happy Reconcilliation many dreadful Battels were Fought wherein the success was various till most of the Flower of the English Nobillity were Lost and the King left destitute of Mony and other such necessaries as are Rightfully termed the Sinns of War Fortune who rightfully is painted Blind turned the Scale of Victory and success till no considerable place of Strength but Oxford was left him where finding no concessions would mollifie the Flinty temper of his implacable Enemies he after some consultation with his Council resolved rather than to hazard being obliged to such hard conditions as a close Seige might extort to Fly to the Scotch Army who were in the Parliaments pay and from some of whose perfidious chief he had received several kind Invitations which he effected in the disguise of a Serving-Man and found it Incamped at South-well where he was first kindly entertained with promise of Protection but Treacherous Villains as they were and be it a Brand to their Posterity for ever rather then loose their Arrears due from the Parliament they delivered up their lawful Soveraign the best of Kings to the dispose of his merciless Enemies but Heavens vengeance delayed not to such perfidious dealing for soon after all Scotland was put into a Bloody Sweat by the Usurper The King being in the Hands of his Enemies was Imprisoned at Holmby where having stayed some time he was taken thence by Collonel Joyce and carryed to Childersly thence to Newark and so by several Stages till he came to Hampton-Court where a Treaty was proposed though nothing less intended for at that very time the Tub-thumpers fearing if the King should be restored they should loose their canting Trade bauled out nothing but Death and desolation saying Not words but rhe Sword shall end the Controversie and placing a hundred Bugbears before the Peoples Eyes to render them averse to any compliance but there cant availed not for such was the Gracious concessions of this good King that they were highly approved of by many and therefore Cromwell and his Faction fearing it should come to perfection layed a Plot to fright the King from Hampton-Court by possessing him under pretence of Friendship that there was a design against his Life which was so Hypocritically demonstrated to him by Collonel Whaly that the King leaving Letters behind him to signifie the cause of his departure he in the Company and by the advice of Mr. Ashburnham and others departed about midnight none endeavouring to Impeach his passage the Plot being before hand so layed and in the end came into the Isle of Wight of which Collonel Hammond was made Governour who being Brother to his Majesties Chaplain he thought he might the better confide in him but as disloyal as he was he proved perfidious to his distressed Majesty for upon the Parliaments publishing their Order to make it Treason for any that concealed his Person he secured him and sent them notice thereof Upon this the King Writes to the Parliament giving them more fully to understand the reasons of his departure and that he was still desirous that the Treaty of Peace might be continued and that he would consent to any thing that in Honour and conscience he might do so that after many messages had passed the Treaty was renewed wherein the Kings extraordinary Wisdom appeared and his Princely Goodness so far

a Jesuit William Cawley a Brewer Nicholas Love Son to Doctor Love of Winchester John Dixwel a Recruit to the Long Parliament Daniel Blagrave Daniel Broughton Edward Denby John Hutchison Francis Lossely Lord Munson James Challenor Sir Henry Mildmay Robert Wallop James Harrington and John Philips These were the pack of Hellhounds that were thought most fit to hunt after Royal-Blood as Indeed they were for such Monsters never Breathed before on Brittish-Soil Matters being brought to this pass on the 20 of January 1648. Bradshaw the President with about 70 of the aforesaid pack Guarded by Partizans came into Westminster-Hall and sate down in the Court whither the King was brought by Collonel Thomlinson and placed at the Bar by the Serjeant at Arms where a Crimson-Chair was set in which he sate down without moving his Hat or Regarding the Monsters yet the President stood up and declared why he was brought thither laying many Notorious Falsities to his charge and was seconded by Solicitor Cook but the King not to Impair his Kingly Character absolutely denyed the Jurisdiction of the Court and so Learnedly opposed the Illiterate Rout with Stupendious Arguments that they were beaten from all Defences and nothing to say but that they were well satisfied in their Power and that it was not for him to dispute their Jurisdiction as indeed it availed not for past doubt they Right or wrong had before-hand determined his Destruction and yet they convened his Majesty before them the day following and the next day as also on the 23 and still pressed him to answer the charge and own the Jurisdiction of the Court without permitting him though he earnestly desired it to give his reasons why he refused it nor to plead for the Liberty of his Subjects which most of all he insisted on but Adjourned the Court to the 27 when notwithstanding the Kings Learned Arguments and perswasions which they impatiently heard they passed Judgment upon him which after a long repetition of what had passed during the Tryal concluded in the words For all which Treasons and Crimes this Court doth adjudge that he meaning the King as a Tyrant Traytor Murtherer and Publick-Enemy shall be put to Death by severing his Head from his Body after which Bradshaw declared It was the Act and Resolution of the whole Court And thus they layed to his charge things that he knew not nor could be possible Guilty of for Kings are accountable to none but God nor can any man of Sence Imagine that Treason can be committed against a Subject by his Prince no Law allowing that it can descend but it must ever ascend Yet to the amazement of all Nations having carryed on their Villany to this height they proceeded further for on the 29 of January a Warrant was directed under the Hands of John Bradshaw Thomas Lord Gray of Grooby and Oliver Cromwell to Francis Hacker Collonel Hunks and Lieutenant Collonel Phray for the Execution of their wicked Sentence the place appointed for the Tragedy being before VVhitehall and the next day between the hours of ten in the Morning and five in the Afternoon to compleat the great wickedness But to amuse the People that every where detested against their Diabollical proceedings and to prevent any attempt that might be made to rescue his Majesty they caused it to be Rumoured that they would respite the Execution yet on the Fatal 30 of January in the Year aforesaid the Commissioners met and ordered four or five of their Canting Tub-Preachers to attend upon his Majesty at St. James's but he refused to have any conference with those Varlets In the Morning before his Majesty was brought thence Dr. Juxon Bishop of London officiated and read Divine Service when as the Second Lesson appointed to be Read for that day by the Church Calender happened to be the 27 Chap. of St. Matthew being the History of our Saviours passion which caused his Majesty to Thank the Doctor for chusing so fit a place of Scripture but being given to understand that it fell in course he was highly Animated then his Majesty received the Sacrament after which and some other Devotions ended he was conveyed to Whitehall through the Park by a Regiment of Foot but about his Person were a private Guard of Partizans the Bishop on the one hand and Collonel Thomlinson on the other when with a chearful voice he bid the Guard march faster saying That now he went before them to strive for a Heavenly Crown with less Solicitude then he had often Incouraged his Souldiers to Fight for an Earthly Diadem Being come to the Stairs of the long Gallery he passed through and coming in to an appartment appointed for him continued in fervent Prayer wondering at the delay but the reason was because the Scaffold was not Finished here he received a Letter from the Prince brought by Mr. Seymour and Dinner time came he refused to Dine only Eat a bit of Bread and Drank a Glass of Clarret About one of the Clock Collonel Hacker came with his Guard of Officers and brought his Majesty accompanyed with the Bishop and Collonel Thomlinson through the Banqueting-House and from thence upon the Scaffold a Bridge being made from one of the Windows to it round about which stood a Guard of 7 Regiments of Horse and Foot there placed to keep off his weeping Subjects from approaching to commiserate their dying Soveraign the Scaffold was hung with mourning and so Villanously were they bent on their wicked purpose that fearing his Majesty would not willingly submit to the Axe they had driven in Iron staples to force him to the Block with Cords O monstrous Barbarity of these Inhumane monsters His Majesty looking upon the Blcok and having asked Hacker whither there were none higher turned to Thomlinson and began his Speech wherein he declared His Innocence the unjust Incroachments of the Parliament upon his Perogative Royal and their begining the unnatural War against him yet Prays to God to forgive them all and all that had a hand in his Death advises them to restore the Church and Liberties of the People and the Crown to his Successor laying down the particular means and methods that would unavoidably conduce to the Nations happiness declaring till they were effectually observed the Nation would be miserable and Lastly that his Blood was causelesly shed and that he Dyed the Martyr of the People and then at the motion of Dr. Juxon declared his Religion saying That he Dyed a good Christian according to the Profession of the Church of England as he found it left to him by his Father of which this good man can bear me witness meaning Dr. Juxon then turning to the Officers said Sirs Excuse me for I have a good Cause and I have a Gracious God then turning to Hacker he said Take care they do not put me to pain after which he said to the Executioner I shall say but very short Prayers and when I thrust out my Hands
