And they that wolde contrary short liffe shame and confusion Wryten with the quaking hand and most sorrowfull Heart of Your most sorrowfull Subject and most hâ—mble Servant and Prysonâ—r this Saturday at Your Tower of London Thomas Cromwelle But notwithstanding all this he was Condâ—mn'd unheard and almost unpittyed whilâ—st he was thus in the Tower and upon the 24 th of Iuly An. 1540. 32 H. 8. being four days after the dissolution of the Parliament which began the 12 th Apr. preceding was brought forth to the Tower-Hill where after his Profession publickly made that he was neither guilty of Treason nor Heresy and that he was no Sacramentary but that he would die in the Catholick Faith his head was cut off Sir Edward Coke in his Iurisdiction of Courts fol. 37. saith That Sir Thomas Gaudy then a grave Judge of the King's Bench after told him That Cromwell was commanded to attend the Chief Justices to know whether a man that was forth-coming as being in prison might be attâ—inted of High Treason by Parliament and not called to answer The Judges answered It was a dâ—ngerous question and that they thought a Parliâ—ment would never do it But being by the express commandement of the King and they pressâ—d by Cromwell to answer directly said That if he was attainted by Parliament it could not be questioned whether the party was called to answer or not But the party against whom this was intended said he was never questioned and the first mâ—n that suffered by that proceeding was the said Cromwell himself Suffering thus I shall take leave to add what is obsâ—rv'd by some for his credit viz. That after the fall of Cardinal Wolsey being chosen a Burgâ—ss for the Parliament he manifested his affâ—ction and gratitude to his old Master by doing him all the good service he could in that Convention and that by his witty Arguments he ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ that Bill which was there brought in to atâ—aint him of High Treason answering whatsoever was there at any time laid to his charge or objected against him It is also farther observed of him that in the exercise of his places of his places of Judicature he used much moderation and in his greatest pomp took notice and was thankful to mean persons of his old acquaintance I have seen a Pedegree wherein 't is express'd thâ—t he mâ—rriâ—d a daughter of one William a ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ but I suppose it a mistake and that ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ married his sister for certain it is that Sir Richard Williams is said to have been his Nephew who being by him preferr'd to the service of King Henry afterwards affâ—â—m'd the Name of Cromwell and about the beginning of May An. 1540. 32 H. 8. upon a great Justing at Westâ—miâ—ster which had been Proclaim'd in France Flanders Scotland and Spain being one of the Challengers was there Knighted and on the fifth day of the same moneth overthrew Mr. Culpeper in the Field Shortly after which he grew in such favour as that in 34 H. 8. he was made one of the Gentlemen of the Privy-Chamber to that King Also in 35 H. 8. constable of Berkley-Castle and Captain of those Horsemen which were then with other Forces sent into France under the command of Sir Iohn Wallop It is very well known that this Sir Richard Cromwell upon the dissolution of the Monasteries obtained all those Lands in Huntingtonshire which did belong to any of them in that County and left issue Sir Henry Cromwell Knight his son and heir who made his chief seat upon the ruines of that at Hinchinbroke which had been a House of Nuns and left issue divers sons of which Sir Oliver Cromwell made Knight of the Bath at the Coronation of King Iames was the eldest and Robert another Which Robert was Father of another Oliver the haughtiness of whose spirit exeeding the bounds of his estate exposed him to such wants as that being not well able to support himself here in such a garb as he desired he resolv'd to go for New England and to that end went to Cambridge where being seated he sorted himself with the Nonconformists of those parts expecting by that meanes to receive some advantage amongst those Phanatiques wherewith New England was for the most part peopled But the Troubles here taking their rise before he could well fit himself for that Journey being a person of a subtile and active spirit and in no small esteem with the Puritans he was chosen a Burgess for that Corporation in the late Long-Parliament In which unhappy Convention he play'd his game so well as that upon the raising of several Armies by the predominant party there under colour of afferting the Establisht Religion and Laws he put himself in Armes and in short time grew so famous for his valor and military skill as that through the excellent faculty he had in humouring the Phanatiques both in Camp and elsewhere and his success by their bold attempts at length he arrived to be the chief of the Independent-party amongst the Soldiers which soon topt the Presbyterean and gaining farther strength became the Principal Agent in Contriving the Destruction of the late King Charles of Blessed Memory in order to the utter ruine of Monarchy in this Realme Whereupon he advanced himself to the Supreme Power in Government by the Title of Lord Protector But the exact memorial of his Life and Actions being no part of the Subject I now treat of I refer to our publick Historians and come next to the Descendentâ— of the before-specified Thomas Earl of Essex Of these the first in order was Gregorie Cromwell his son and heir Which Gregorie upon the 18 th of December in 32 H. 8. about five moneths after his Father's death being then â—ervant to the King was created a Baron of this Realm by the Title of Lord Cromwell but not distinguisht by any place And having married Elizabeth daughter to Sir Iohn Seameur of Wolf-Hall in Com.
