Hartgil Baron and Francis Mansil with divers others for raising War against Oliver Lord Protector in the behalf of Charles Stuart and confering with J. Stapely Esq Henry Mallory and others how to effect the same and delivering Commissions to several Persons in the Name of and as from the said Charles Stuart c. He stood long upon it as did ●●e Doctor before to have Council assigne● him and that he might be tryed by a Jury but finding it would not be granted he at last pleaded not Guilty many Witnesses deposited against him yet he by his Ingenuity so cleared himself that notwithstanding many Endeavours to the contrary he was discharged July the 17. following Colonel Ashton and John Betley were executed the one in Tower-street the other in Cheap-side Colonel Ashton was the first being drawn on a Sledge that Worthy Divine Doctor Warmestry submitting for the good of a poor Christians Soul to lie along with him upon the Sledge that he might lose no Time for his spiritual Converse They were drawn from Newgate to Tower-street over against Mark-lane end where a Gibbet was erected As he ascended the Ladder Doctor Warmestry said Almighty God who is a strong Tower be with thee and make thee know and feel that there is no other Name under Heaven whereby to attain everlasting Life but by the Name of Jesus The Blessing of God the Father the Son and Holy Ghost be with you henceforth and for ever Amen He being upon the Ladder exprest a great deal of Confidence he had in the

We may conclude thus much that his aunual Incomes were not so great as Malice hath given out considering all his necessary expences without dispute they had been more inlarged if the People had loved him but half so well as they fear'd him tho' I must still acknowledge it to be hard to distinguish of his Liberality his Necessities having so much limited his Rewards tho his Mind was high and he pursued his own Way as one that always revered his own Will If we look on his careful or rather politick Liberality somewhat may be said as he was at vast Charges as he made good his dexterity to impropriate himself with Forreign Instruments to obtain good Intelligence from all Parts abroad from which Spies all wise Men conclude that he received more Articles of Inquisition then Negotiation ●as he was still working and casting up others not to be undermined himself Some are so humbly minded as to believe his Designs were to high for Forreign Parts certain it is Carolus Gustavus lost a dear Friend of him and for other Princes howsoever they might look a squint on him he was courted by two of the greatest and was a Friend as if Fortune attended him to either of them both when he pleased they having as much as they could allie● themselves to his Interests when they on● found him to be at leisure to be helpful t● them 'Tis true for some Time they stood at a distance certainly if they did not so soon see into the Passages of his Affairs they did at last pass their Judgments on the Issue of them perhaps they at the first saw him only at Strife but they were afterwards forced to acknowledge him to be always aloft so fortunate he was in all his enterprizes The Royal Party were once of Opinion that he having past his Laurels he had a Mind to reach at the Crown they were somewhat mistaken it had too many Thorns in it which of themselves are sharp enough to fetch Blood if we should not otherwise accept of the Interpretation of the Fifth Monarchy Gentleman who means by them the displeased Soldiery to whom such Lustres could never have been acceptable as some other of our late Pamphletters have libell'd him to be another Henry the Fifth that he would have stolen the more then protested against Diadem off from the Pillow if he had a Mind to it it is more then they know the worst they could have said of him had been that he entertained somewhat more then self-denying Thoughts or rather as the Poets hath it Magnis tamen excedit ausis Indeed outwardly he seemed to have little of vain Glory in him or else he turned his dark Lanthorn to himself his closeness being always such that this great Politician walkt invisible others stood in the Light to him but he in the Dark to all only for his most grand Transaction there was no vizzard could disguise it that he should after so many selfish refusals a Word lately put into the new canting Dictionary of the Enthusiasts that he should after the slighting as it were of so many tendred forfeited and sequestred Estates presented to him by the Parliament for his remarkable Services after that in parts and piecemeals he had denied the Pomps and Vanities of this wicked World he made it his master-design to take in all at once as he knew well enough how to cog a die he had thrown for all won all and swept all at once rendering his Motto Pax quaeritur Bello into that English which pleased him best the Protectorship To reflect briefly on his Domestical Affairs he was not uxorious but respectful to his Wife to his Children he had a paternal affection careful of their educations and of their aspirings to advancement he endeavoured to cast a Lustre on them which did not take with the People tho' as to his Son Richard there was a more then ordinary consent For his Pleasures there is no extraordinary News of them some Frolicks I have heard of with those he was most familiar the Truth is he had too little Leasure for trivial repasts he did with them as great Persons do with Banquers come and look upon them and so turn away As he begun from a private Fortune as I have already intimated that Fortune quickened in him all Seeds of observation being always more prosperous in himself then confirmed from the Affections of others For the Imputations against him of Moneys in his Treasury certainly if he had been such a hoarder the Urgency of his pressing Affairs would never suffer him to be so poor as to stand still and admire his Riches Before I end I cannot chuse but remark his hard dealings with Parliaments which he formerly so vindicated against the late King for his breach of Priviledge about the five Members whatsoever fine Thread he did twist for himself in all his religious Speeches those that are right Englishmen will never clear him from his violations tho' he managed those actings as that they were to him but short Tempests or small over-castings as whatsoever Injury the Nations endured he had one pretence or other to shift it off from his own Shoulders extreamly mistaking himself as the People look less on the failing of those who have been their own choice then on those who have taken on them to be Carvers for themselves he thought himself crafty enough for Parliaments and from his Death-bed he determined himself cock sure as he was flesht with his former Fortunes he could never have imagined his Posterity should ever have been lean 'Tis true we may be so political as on this Earth to endeavour to grasp these humane Affairs to our own Interests but we must lay down our greatest Wisdoms when we come to sleep in the silent Grave as after Death there is no providing against the cross blows of Fortune To conclude as far as we can conjecture his Confederates continuing alike victorious and fortunate with him he might i● he had lived to it extended his Victories to some other parts of the World if he did no more it was either thro' the Disturbances of the Times or long of himself for what he minded he compassed Certain it is that he so husbanded his successe● that he did not live to see himself unfortunate who having assumed or rather snacht his Honours shewed himself to be one of the strangest
