The Members at Westminster voted Sir Thomas Fairfax to bee their new Generall cashiering the Earle of Essex with whom they had formerly sworne to live and dye Jan. 1. Young Hotham was beheaded on Tower-hill and Sir John Hotham his Father the morrow after both by marshall Law Here the Reader may take notice of a speciall mark of Gods judgement for 23 April 1642. when old Hotham denied his Majesty admittance into Hull he held up his hands and prayed God never to prosper him or his posterity if hee were not his Majesties Loyall Subject And now see both Father and Sonne adjudged by their fellow members and condemned by their owne beloved marshall Law for intending to deliver up Hull to his Majesty The same first of Jan. the Lord Astley took Lypyate house in Gloucestershire and in it 45 prisoners with all their Armes Victuall and Ammunition Soone after this Sir Marmaduke Langdale totally routed Colonell Ludlowes Regiment of horse at Salisbury took 5 rebell-Captaines prisoners besides under-Officers and 80 common souldiers 150 horse and Armes with 3 colours Ludlow himselfe hardly escaping Jan. 10. the Lord Arch-bishop of Canterbury was beheaded on Tower-hill It would bee too long here where we ayme at brevity to set downe the particulars of his imprisonment the preposterous proceedings against him in his Triall his pious magnanimity at the time of his death his Sermon on the Scaffold whereof here followes a true coppy will satisfie the world that hee died innocently and which is more that his Majesty hath been unjustly accused of an inclination to Popery Good People THis is an uncomfortable time to preach yet I shall begin with a text of Scripture Heb. 12. 2. Let us run with patience that race which is set before us Looking unto Iesus the author and finisher of our Faith who for the joy that was set before him endured the Crosse despising the shame and is set downe at the right hand of the Throne of God I have been long in my Race and how I have looked to Iesus the authour and finisher of my Faith Hee best knowes I am now come to the end of my Race and here I find the Crosse a death of shame but the shame must bee despised or no comming to the right hand of God Jesus despised the shame for me and God forbid but I should despise the shame for Him I am going apace as you see towards the red Sea and my feet are now upon the very brinke of it an Argument I hope that God is bringing me into the Land of promise for that was the way through which he led his people But before they came to it Hee instituted a Passeover for them a Lamb it was but it must be eaten with sowre Hearbs I shall obey and labour to digest the sower Hearbs as well as the Lambe And I shall remember it is the Lords Passeover I shall not think of the Herbs nor be angry with the hand which gathereth them but look up only to him who instituted that and governes these For men can have no more power over me then what is given them from above I am not in love with this passage through the Red Sea for I have the weaknesse and infirmities of flesh and blood plentifully in me And I have prayed with my Saviour ut transir et Calix iste that this Cup of red wine might passe from me But if not Gods will not mine be done and I shall most willingly drink of this Cup as deep as he pleases and enter this Sea yea and passe through it in the way that be shall lead me But I would have it remembred Good people that when Gods Servants were in this boysterous Sea and Aaron among them the Aegyptians which persecuted them and did in a manner drive them into that Sea were drowned in the same waters while they were in pursuit of them I know my God whom I serve is as able to deliver me from this Sea of Blood as he was to deliver the three children from the Furnace and I most humbly thank my Saviour for it my Resolution is now as theirs was then They would not worship the image the King had set up nor will I the imaginations which the people are setting up nor will I forsake the Temple and the truth of God to follow the bleating of Jeroboams Calfe in Dan and in Bethell And as for this people they are at this day miserably missed God of his mercy open their Eyes that they may see the right way for at this day the blind lead the blind and if they goe on both will certainly fall into the ditch For my selfe I am and acknowledge it in all humility a most grievous sinner many wayes by thought word and deed and I cannot doubt but that God hath mercy in store for me a poore penitent as well as for other sinners I have now upon this sad occasion ransacked every corner of my Heart and yet I thank God I have not found among the many any one sin which deserves death by any knowne Law of this Kingdome And yet hereby I charge nothing upon my Judges for if they proceed upon proofe by valuable witnesses I or any other ●naocent may be justly condemned And I thank God though the weight of the sentence lye heavie upon me I am ●s quiet within as ever I was in my life And though I am not only the first Arch-Bishop but the first man that ever dyed by an Ordinance of Parliament yet some of my Predecessours have gone this way though not by this meanes For Elphegus was hurried away and lost his head by the Danes and Symon Sudbury in the fury of Wat Tyler and his fellowes Before these Saint John Baptist had his head danced off by a lewd woman and Saint Cyprian Arch-Bishop of Carthage submitted his head to a persecuting sword Many Examples great and good and they teach me patience for I hope my Cause in Heaven will look of another dye then the colour that is put upon it here And some comfort it is to me not only that I goe the way of these greatmen in their severall generations but also that my Charge as foul as t is made looks like that of the Jewes against Saint Paul Acts 25. 3. For hee was accused for the Law and the Temple i. e. Religion And like that of Saint Steven Acts 6. 14. for breaking the Ordinances which Moses gave i. e. Law and Religion the holy place and the Temple vers. 13. But you will say doe I then compare my selfe with the integrity of Saint Paul and Steven No far be that from me I onely raise
