Vaughan fell on a party of the Parl. neare Welch Poole Commanded by S. John Price killed some wounded others took divers Prisoners and many Horses and Armes 28. Master Blakes house at Pinnell neare Calne in Wiltshire taken by a party of the Lord Gorings forces 31. The Members at VVestminster voted Sir Thomas Fairfax to be their new Generall cashiering the E. of Essex with whom July 12. 1642 they had sworn to live and die January 1. Young Hotham was beheaded on Tower-hill 2. Sir John Hotham his father was likewise beheaded by Martiall Law Here the Reader may take notice of a speciall marke of Gods judgement for Apr. 23. 1642. when old Hotham denyed His Maj. admittance into Hull he held up his hands and prayed God never to prosper him or his posterity if he were not His Majesties loyall Subject And now see both father and sonne adjudged by their fellow-members and condemned by their owne beloved Martiall Law for intending to deliver up Hull to His Majesty The same day the Lord Astley took Lypyate house in Gloucestershire Sir Marmaduke Langdale totally routed Col. Ludlowes Regiment of horse at Salisbury 10. The Lord Archbishop of Canturbury was beheaded on Tower-hill It would be too long here where we aime at Brevitie to set downe the particulars of his Imprisoment the preposterous proceedings against him in his Triall and his pious magnanimity at the time of his Death his Sermon on the Scaffold whereof here followeth a true Copie will satisfie the world that he dyed innocently and ●hich is more that His Majestie hath beene most unjustly accused of any 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 Jesus 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 Jesus the author 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 be 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 a pace 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 to 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 sow●e Hearbs as well as the Lamb. And I shall remember it is the Lords Passeover I shall not thinke of the Hearbs nor be angry with the hand which gathereth them but looke up only to him who instituted that and gov●rnes these For men can have no more power over men then what is given them from above I am not in love with this passage through the Red Sea for I have the w●aknesse and infirmities of flesh and blood pl●ntifully in me And I have prayed with my Saviour ut trans●●et Cal●x iste that this Cup of red wine might pass● from me But if not Gods will not mine be done an● I shall most willingly drinke of this Cup as deep as he pleases and enter this Sea yea and passe through it in the way that he 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 the 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 thanke 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 innocent may be justly condemned And I thank God though the weight of the sentence lie heavy upon me I am as quiet within as ever I wa 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 looke 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 great men in their severall generations but also that my Charge as soule as t is made looks like that of the Jewes against Saint Paul Acts 25. 3. For he 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 verse 13. But you will say doe I then compare my selfe with the integrity of Saint Paul and Steven No farre be that from me I onely raise a comfort to my selfe that these great Saints and servants of God were laid at in their times as I am now And it is memorable that Saint Paul who helped on this Accusation against Saint Steven did after fall under the very same himselfe Yea but here
