against St. Faith's Door a good and suitable prop to such constant Loyalty which he resolutely maintained to his last and so bravely exposed himself to their bullets Collonel Poyer shot to death in Covent Garden I Cannot deny this Gentleman a room in this Martyrology those that came the eleventh hour shall find entertainment though he was formerly for the Parliament especially because he was mainly concernd in this aforesaid businesse of Pembroke He rendred at mercy and by order of a Council of War drew lots with the other two for his life which fell upon him and thereupon he was shot as aforesaid The execrable and horrid Murther of our late Martyred Soveraign King Charls the First of ever blessed memory I Intend not to write the History of this Pious Prince so excellently and curiously drawn by himself and those who have traced his memorials and remains not taking a far prospect of him which was fair and beautiful and pleasant in the beginning of his Reign but viewing neerer at hand the black and dismal cloud which wrapt up and enveloped his setting glories now by Divine Justice and favour risen again to their full and radiant lustre We shall retrospect no further than the beginning of the Scotch War at which time the Symptomes of a general Rebellion first appeared For what the Scots covertly implyed in their undutiful Papers Declarations and Remonstrances was soon after avowedly insisted on by the prevailing Faction of the long Parliament The King was loaded with an heavy imputation of being led by evil Councellors that their design was to introduce Popery to erect an arbitrary Government as in the businesse of Ship-money Patents and Monopolies That he declined Parliaments as the boundaries of his unlimited Prerogative to the great burden and oppression of his Subjects No sooner therefore had he composed the Scotch War but to take away and remove all jealousie and distrust of him in his People though all along his Reign he had found some popular leading Grandees to be the untractable and unsatisfiable Enemies of his Kingdoms Peace he summoned his last the long Parliament in November 1640 which by a gracious Act of his was not to be dissolved or prorogued without their own consent and if that should so determine a Bill also was signed by him for a Tâ—iennial or perpetual Parliament that so his Subjects might rest confident and assured in the due manage and administration of the Government But these favours gave the Faction no other satisfaction then that they saw they might presume to add other demands and by how much more gracious his Majesty was to them they judged they might be the more impudent towards him in which they failed not a tittle dasiring as their only safety from the danger of the Prerogative the Militia in their own disposal the only defence and the unseparable right of his Crown To attain this they most insolently by their partisans in the City tumult him at his Court at White-hall from which to avoid both the danger and dishonour that rebel rout threatned he was compelled to withdraw to see if by his absence that rage and madnesse might be allayed and the two Houses set at freedom which by his presence was the more enflamed and the Priviledge of Parliament prostituted to the licentious and mad frenzy of the multitude But this afforded them their desired advantage from hence they calumniate the King that since he could not dissolve the Parliament he would invalidate their Authority and render them uselesse and unserviceable to those great ends for which they were called by refusing to concur with them and departing from that his great Council With these and such like suggestions they so filled the minds of men who were predisposed by some former discontents and who had their Authority through some disuse of it in great reverence that every where but especially in London parties were framed intelligencies and correspondencies held Divers Petitions presented in the pursute of these designs to the Parliament offering to stand by them with their lives and fortunes to the attainment of those ends held forth in their Declarations and Resolves which in conclusion were summed up in that unhappy Remonstrance of the State of the Kingdom by the Lords and Commons remaining at Westminster divers of both Houses either out of fear of the rabble or conscience of their duty absenting themseves and retired home or followed the King's Fortune who having traversed some ground about London from one of his Royal Palaces to another in hope the distemper would abate and the People return to their reason and obedience together at last finding his hopes frustrated by more unreasonable demands every message to him from the two Houses came burdened with he resolved to go for York and secure his Magazine at Hull But Sr. John Hotham being newly sent thither by the Parliament refused the Kings admittance into that Town unless himself with some few of his retinue would please to enter the King passionately complained of this to the Parliament but with as little redress as his demand of Justice against the Authors of the Tumults this was the Inrroduction to those after violences of his Royal Person and Authority For the Parliament forthwith raised an Army under the command of the Earl of Essex and the County of York humbly professed themselves to the Service of his Majesty whereupon August the 22 1642. he set up his Standard at Nottingham whence after he had marched into Shrewsbury and having raised a considerable Army thereabouts was on his way to London he was overtaken by the Earl of Essex at a place called Edge Hill where ensued a fierce Fight with equal loss on both sides October 23 1642. where God was pleased to cover the Kings head in the day of Battel and permit him to fall by their execrable hands in the time of Peace to which he so often solicitously wooâ—d them In their Generals Commission they had tyed him up with a limitation the preservation of the Kings Person but left their bullets at random A subtil time-serving distinction between the Cannon and the Axe which afterwards they trayterously lifted up against his Annoynted and sacred Head The Parliament to strengthen their Cause treat with the Scots and for the better mutual assurance and to difference their abettors and fautors from the Kings Leige People as well as to lay a baite for all sacrilegious and covetous minded men to invite them to supplies of money in this rebellion enter into a Solemn League and Covenant the main design whereof was the utter extirpation as previous and necessary to the Kings destruction of Episcopacy and the established Government of the Church of England Popery being added also for the greater colour of this engagement against which the King issued forth his Royal Proclamation laying open the mischievous design thereof being resolved to maintain the Religion so long and so happily professed and sealed by the blood of
and severe as inhumane Guards upon him intruding upon his devotions upbraiding him with his condition and most irreverently and impudently profaning his Person within his hearing He continued here untill he had kept his last Christmass but so privately in the most retired rooms of that Castle that no person but of their appointment to look to him was suffered to come near him till after that the Army had furbisht out a new House of Commons and prepared the design against his Sacred and most precious Life he was conveyed by Collonel Harrison sitting covered in the Coach with him though by Divine vengeance now bare-headed upon Westminster-Hall with a strong Guard of Horse to his Palace at St. James's and there lodged by order from their Juncto at Westminster there to wait the direful preparations for his Tryal advanced into some kind of method and lickt into some ravenous form already But what words shall we now use what expiating sense to expresse innocency and without some taint of guilt the slagiciousness of this villany we are about to relate what exaggerations of crimes to signifie and declare this Accumulative Treason a term first invented and created by the Authors of this mischief to weary and overburden that noble Earl of Strafford with his precious and most useful life and now accomplisht That baneful Prophetical Oracle being without all doubt and as the immediate direction of God to Fulfil the Measure of the sins of this Nation riddled in this most detestable wickedness Herein we may behold at one view all the miseries and confusions that befel the three Kingdoms from the commencement of our troubles whose large circumference and ambient circles of jealousies and fears centred in this fatal business That which Caligula most bloodily wisht that the City of Rome that extended to the Empire of the World had but one neck these cruel and impious persons had the unhappy enjoyment of for with this Royal Martyr fell the glory and honour of these Nations the people whereof as if the blow had reached their neck too stoopt and hung down their heads as ashamed and afraid to lift up their guilty faces towards angry Heaven Never were there so many sorrowful and dejected looks so many sad and oppressed hearts as at this deplorable occasion Every man presaged his private ruine from this of the Publick except those whose aimes were upon it and who had designed to themselves the profit of this Maxime Kill and take Possession Nay it seemed so barbarous even to those persons who had instrumentally served to the grand design which they thought reached not to this extent that the Presbiteryan Ministers in and about London avowedly remonstrated against it and subscribed their names laying the sin and impiety of any prosedure against the King at their door declaring the mischief that would inevitably follow thereupon all which they inforced and urged also from their Covenant While thus we would clear our selves and particular men from this horrid blood-guiltinesse how shall we wipe off the stain from the Protestant Religion it being the impious doctrine of the Church of Rome That Princes by the Popes Authority may be deposed and murthered Foraign Churches of our profession have suffered much under this imputation by the Papists themselves upon this score therefore we will not omit this vindication here worthy to be written upon all our Churches being this Royal Martyrs words in his advice to our Soveraign That he should not be alienated from the Religion established through any of the injuries and reproaches thrown upon him in this Rebellion for they were not Protestants that did them Indeed they lack names and terms for themselves and those monstrous facts they perpetrated nor Turk nor Jew nor infidel will reach them such was the incomparable innocence sanctity and virtue of this Prince and Heaven would have none but perfect Sacrifices I refer the Reader therefore to that which shews them best that which themselves dared to publish in this matter which in short is this There were three grand Interests that centred and combined in this fatal business The first was that of Oliver Cromwel whose often dreamt-of Soveraignty egged and provoked his ambition now propt with the power of the sword put him upon desperate invasion of his Soveraigns Crown and Life The second was that of the Republicans or Common-wealth men whose great tempting sin to this facinorous act and main ingredient was coverousness having designed to themselves the Kings Revenue and the Churches Patrimony The third was the Fifth Monarchy Heresie in whom mad ambition and pride and insatiable appetite of wealth and riches were at strise for superiority or else so well blended and mixt that it was hardly discernable which made the fairest shew in their political and pious claim of worldly power These three Factions thus agreed hoping when the accursed deed was done to over-reach one another and attain their particular ends conspired together and by their joynt Counsels after they had turned out the Parliament and erected a select Juncto by their directions to these men who were all parties concern'd in the share of the Spoyl A thing called an Act of Parliament having the Authority of some 50 Commons some whereof were also dissenters the generality of them being new elected Members by Writ of Parliament in the room of those at Oxford passed that House to bring the King to Tryal having therein appointed a High Court of Justice consisting of some 80 persons all interessed Grandees to be the Court before which the King should be charged of Divers Crimes which I abhor to relate This High Court of Justice the monster of English Judicature according to the power given by the said Act having assembled first in the Painted Chamber in order to set and braze their countenances by staring in one anothers faces then swelled with Devilish guilt and malice came in formality with their impudent President to their pretended Court erected at the further end of Westminster-Hall where the King soon after was brought and placed in his chair against the face of these effront Rebels There they exhibited the charge which the King refused to answer to or acknowledge that rout for any kind of Authority which he persisted in all the four times he was convened before them and in conclusion as before they had resolved by colour of a judicial proceeding was most trayterously sentenced to be beheaded to the astonishment and unspeakable grief of his three Kingdoms and the horrour and shame of the Christian World I have thus transiently past over this unpleasant business because it is so lamentably known and published at large in the black Tribunal to which I reser the amazed Reader His Majesties Reasons against the pretended Jurisdiction of the High Court of Injustice which he intended to have delivered in writing on Monday Jan. 22. 1648. but was not permitted HAving already made My protestations not only against the illegallity of
this pretended Court but also that no Earthly power can justly call Me who am your KING in question as a Delinquent I would not any more open My mouth upon his occasion more than to refer My self to what I have spoken were I alone in this case alone concern'd But the duty I owe to God in the preservation of the true liberty of My People will not suffer Me at this time to be silent For how can any free-born Subject of England call Life or any thing he possesseth his own if power without Right daily make new and abrogate the old fundamental Law of the Land which I now take to be the present case Wherefore when I came hither I expected that you would have endeavoured to have satisfied Me concerning those grounds which hinder Me to answer to your pretended Impeachment but since I see that nothing I can say will move you to it though Negatives are not so naturally proved as Affirmatives yet I will shew you the Reason why I am confident you cannot judge Me nor indeed the meanest man in England for I will not like you without shewing a reason seek to impose a belief upon My Subjects * * Hereabout I was stopt and not suffered to speak any more concerning reasons There is no proceeding just against any man but what is warranted either by Gods Laws or the municipal Laws of the Country where he lives Now I am most confident that this dayes proceeding cannot be warranted by Gods Law for on the contrary the authority of obedience unto Kings is clearly warranted and strictly commanded both in the Old and New Testament which if denied I am ready instantly to prove and for the Question now in hand there it is said That where the word of a King is there is power and who may say unto him what dost thou Eccles 8.4 Then for the Laws of this Land I am no lesse confident that no learned Lawyer will affirm that an impeachment can lye against the King they all going in His Name and one of their Maximes is That the King can do no wrong Besides the Law upon which you ground your proceedings must either be old or new if old shew it if new tell what Authority warranted by the fundamental Laws of the Land hath made it and when But how the House of Commons can erect a Court of Judicature which was never one it self as is well known to all Lawyers I leave to God and the World to judge And it were full as strange that they should pretend to make Laws without King or Lords-House to any that have heard speak of the Laws of England And admitting but not granting that the People of Englands Commission could grant your pretended power I see nothing you can shew for that for certaintly you never asked the question of the tenth man of the Kingdom and in this way you manifestly wrong even the poorest Ploughman if you demand not his free consent nor can you pretend any colour for this your pretended Commission without the consent at least of the major part of every man in England of whatsoever quality or condition which I am sure you never went about to seek so far are you from having it Thus you see that I speak not for My own right alone as I am your KING but also for the true liberty of all My Subjects which consists not in sharing the power of Government but in living under such Laws such a Government as may give themselves the best assurance of their lives and propriety of their goods Nor in this must or do I forget the Priviledges of both Houses of Parliament which this dayes proceeding doth not only violate but likewise occasion the greatest breach of their publick Faith that I believe ever was heard of with which I am far from charging the two Houses for all the pretended crimes laid against Me bear date long before this late Treaty at Newport in which I having concluded as much as in Me lay and hopefully expecting the two Houses agreement thereunto I was suddenly surprised and hurried from thence as a Prisoner upon which I account I am against My will brought hither where since I am come I cannot but to My power defend the ancient Laws and Liberties of this Kingdom together with My own just right Than for any thing I can see the higher House is totally excluded And for the House of Commons it is too well known that the major part of them are detained or deterred from sitting so as if I had no other this were sufficient for me to protest against the lawfulnesse of your pretended Court. Besides all this the Peace of the Kingdom is not the least in my thoughts and what hopes of settlement is there so long as Power reigns without rule of Law changing the whole frame of that Government under which this Kingdom hath flourished for many hundred years nor will I say what will fall out in case this lawless unjust proceeding against me do go on and believe it the Commons of England will not thank you for this change for they will remember how happy they have been of late years under the Reign of Queen Elizabeth the King my Father and My Self until the beginning of these unhappy Troubles and will have cause to doubt that they shall never be so happy under any new And by this time it will be too sensibly evident that the Arms I took up were only to defend the Fundamental Laws of this Kingdom against those who have supposed My power hath totally changed the ancient Government Thus having shewed you briefly the Reasons why I cannot submit to your pretended Authority without violating the trust which I have from God for the welfare and liberty of my People I expect from you either clear Reasons to convince my judgment shewing me that I am in an Error and then truly I will readily answer or that you will withdraw your proceedings This I intended to speak in Westminster-Hall on Monday 22 January but against Reason was hindred After that horrid Sentence his Majesty was hurried from their Bar As he passed down the stairs the common Souldiers laying aside all Reverence to Soveraignty scoffed at him casting the smoak of their stinking Tobacco in his face no Smell more offensive to him and flinging their foul pipes at his feeâ— But one more insolent than the rest defiled his venerable Face with his spittle for his Majestry was observed with much patience to wipe it off with his Handkerchief and as he passed hearing them cry out Justice Justice Poor Souls said he for a piece of money they would do so for their Commanders That Night being Saturday January 27. the King lodged at White-hall that evening a Member of the Army acquainted the Committee with the desires of the King that seeing they had passed Sentence of Death upon him and the time of his Execution might be nigh that he might see his Children
what he did neither directly deny nor was troubled that he did aver And then declared to Bradshaw that he looked upon Sir John Gell as upon himself a betrayed man and so was dismist that time The noble Colonel understanding those Gentlemen taken with him were in restraint writ to Sir Henry Mildmay concerning them in these words Honour'd Sir The past Noblenesse I am sensible at your hands as civilly treating me when before the State though a great Delinquent gave me this encouragement and you the trouble of this Address It is no small encrease of my proper misfortune that I see such who were taken with me as Companions to my Person to share so deep in the punishment as do those Gentlemen Mr. Edwards and Mr. Clark persons so free from the guilt of my evil that I am confident they cannot give account for what cause I am deservedly a prisoner though it were made the price of their liberty I am an humble Suitor to you that you would take them into your favourable consideration and mediate their enlargement and that you would not let them have a worse place in your thoughts for that they are recommended to your Favour by c. The Colonel several times took upon him to aver to the Council of State that they had Spies upon him for some years and particularly that infamous fellow Barnard which Bradshaw denyed not but justified the State by the practice of all Governments to set Watches upon persons of ill affection to them Being in this condition he was advised to Petition the Tyrannical Council which according to some of their own Directions was this To the Right Honourable the Lord President and Council of State The Humble Petition c. Shews THat your Petitioner is deeply sensible and humbly acknowledgeth that for his high Delinquency against the State he is become forfeited to their Justice That he hath not in the least prevaricated with your Lordships in the confession of his proper faults and follies nor hath kept ought reserved concerning himself or any person or they which may satisfie your Lordships and more secure the State and is not hopeless to be look'd upon as capable of your present favour and future mercy which he now and shall always implore That his present deserved Condition is made more uncomfortable by his wants and the exclusion of his Friends and Relations without a supply in which life it self becomes a punishment Your Petitioner casting himself at your Lordships feet humbly prays That his being prosecuted before the High Court of Justice may be suspended that by your order his past and future charges of necessaries may be discharged while he remains your prisoner That his Friends and Kinrea may have recourse to him and that he may have the freedom of his Pen. And in case your Petitioner shall be found in the lâ—ast to misapply these favours he shall adjudge himself worthy of a total deprivation of them and your future goodness towards him And Your c. These were seconded with several other Petitions especially one to the Parliament and back'd with Letters to the Speaker and the Lieutenant of the Tower in referrence to maintenance and freedom of persons coming to him which with great difficulty and by express order too of the Council was hardly obtain'd by a Gentlewoman of quality his friend Having endured a tedious imprisonment of sixteen weeks having nothing altered from those cruel Statesmen he was at last in the Month of August brought to his tryal before a High Court of Justice against whose Jurisdiction and Authority he learnedly and bravely spoke and a large denyed their power of trying and condemning any Freeman of England their Erection being contrary to all the Laws of the Kingdom the beginning of his first argument from not pleading to his Charge was this My Lords and you Gentlemen Members of this Honourable Court. I Have as becomes me been attentive to the Charge which hath been read against me It appears in that dress that it is put alreadly though I presume it shall be clad in other Apparrel by Mr. Attourny so specious and great as that my friends if I have any here begin to fear the indifferent to doubt and the partial to defire and joyn in my condemnation my self I hope I am not partial to my self believe that it will be no more then the Mountains labour and when it shall come to be opened will prove inane aliquod like the Apples of Sodom that however they take the first sense the eye as this the ear do rather foul the fingers that touch them then satisfie the appetite in expectation upon them My Lord I am at an unusual Bar engaged in a great Cause of a far and extendible Concernment my fee is life and my dutie is self-preservation which in it self were less considerable if by a president of my suffering the Consequence would not prove mischievously Epidemical I do not refuse to plead to the Charge but humbly crave leave to offer my Reasons for the suspending of my Plea And if I be importunate yet within the bounds of civility I beg Your pardon that I may have a free full and uninterrupted hearing He proceeded with admirable Elegance and strength of Argument and Reason throughout his Tryal But that bloody Court and cruel Attourney Gen. Prideaux over-ruled them all telling him that the Court was not at leisure to take notice of those Law-Cases but of his Confession that he had an affection to it though nothing acted and that was sufficient Treason and for that affection he deserved Death and thereupon the Court pronounced sentence against him that he should be beheaded Thus was the Birth-right of a Freeman of England denyed by wicked Murtherers whose will was their only Law Between Sentence and Execution he received a preparatory Letter to Death from a Dear friend to which he returned this answer Friend Your words sent to me were such and so seasonable that I have given them the same entertainment as becomes me to afford to Apples of Gold and Pictures of silver and if I be after my decollation dissected you may finde them in my heart where you always have had a Mansion If fear were absolutely a necessary passion by which to denote a man I must as yet be accounted among some other Species of Animality The fear of Isaac hath banish'd all other dreadings I look upon Death as upon that Rod in the hand of God with which he would not have corrected me if less correction would have serv'd turn and which he doth now exercise upon me because he is resolved not to let me be less then a Son beloved and I am content to bear the stripes and kiss the Instrument I am sorry that my Rod is bound together with the sin of my Betrayer and wish him Repentance that when the Rod comes to be burned he suffer not in the flame I am proud and covetous to be released from
you possesse here in my conversation in the world I do not know where I have an enemy with cause or that there is such a person whom I have to regret but if there be any whom I cannot recollect under the notion of Christian men I pardon them as freely as if I had named them by name I freely forgive them being in free peace with all the world as I desire God for Christs sake to be at peace with me For the business of death it is a sad sentence in it self if men consult with flesh and blood But truly without boasting I say it or if I do boast I boast in the Lord I have not to this minute had one consultation with the flesh about the blow of the Axe or one thought of the Axe more then as my pass-port to glory I take it for an honour and I owe thankfulness to those under whose power I am that they have sent me hither to a place however of punishment yet of some honour to die a death somewhat worthy of my blood answerable to my birth and qualification and this courtesie of theirs hath much helped towards the pacification of my mind I shall desire God that those Gentlemen in that sad bed-rol to be tried by the High Court of Justice that they may find that really there than is nominal in the Act an High Court of Justice a Court of high Justice high in its righteousness though not in its severity Father forgive them and forgive me as I forgive them I desire you now that you would pray for me and not give over praying till the hour of death not till the moment of death for the hour is come already that as I have a great load of sins so I may have the wings of your prayers to help those Angels that are to convey my soul to Heaven and I doubt not but I shall see my Saviour my gallant Master the King of England and another Master whom I much honoured my Lord Capel hoping this day to see my Christ in the presence of the Father the King in the presence of him my Lord Capel in the presence of them all and my self there to rejoyce with all other Saints and Angels for evermore Doctor Swadling he being upon the Scaffold spake as followeth unto the Colonel You have this morning in the presence of a few given some account of your Religion and under general notions or words have given an account of your faith charity and repentance To those on the Scaffold if you please to hear the same questions asked here you shall that it may be a general testimoney to you all that he died in the favour of God To the Colonel Now Sir I being to deal with you do you acknowledge that this stroke that you are to suffer is a just punishment laid upon you by God for your former sins Col. Andrews I dare not only deny it but dare not but confess it I have no opportunity of glorifying God more then by taking shame to my self and I have a reason of the Justice of God in my own bosom which I have put to your bosom Doctor You acknowledge that you deserve more then this stroak of the Axe and that a far greater misery is due to you even the pains and Torments of Hell that the damned there endure Col. I know it is due in righteous Judgement but I know again I have a satisfaction made by my Elder-brother Christ Jesus and then I say it is not due â—is due from me but quitted by his Righteousness Doct. Do you believe to be saved by that Mediator and none other Col. By that and that only renouncing all secondary causes whatsoever Doct. Are you truly and unfeignedly sorry before God as you appear to us for all those sins that have brought you hither Col. I am sorry and can never be sorrowful enough and am sorry I can be no more sorry Doct. If God should by a Miracle not to put you to a vain hope but if God should as he did to Ezekiah renew your days what life do you resolve to lead hereafter Col. It is a question of great length and requires a great time to answer Men in such straits would promise great things but I would first call some friends to limit how far I should make a Vow that I might 〈◊〉 make a rash one and to offer the Sacrifice of Fools but a Vow I would make and by Gods help endeavour to keep it Doct. Do you wish health and happiness upon all lawful Authorities and Government 〈◊〉 Col. I do prize all obedience to lawful Government and the adventuring against them is sinful and I do not justifie my self whatever my judgement be for my thus adventuring against the present Government I leave it to God to judge whether it be righteous if it be it must stand Doct. Are you now in love and charity with all men Do you freely forgive them Col. With all the World freely and the Lord forgive them and forgive me as I freely forgive them Doct. You have for some late years laid down your Gown and took up the Sword and you were a man of Note in those parts where you had your residence I have nothing to accuse you for want of diligence in hindering the doing of injuries yet possibly there might be some wrong done by your Officers or those under you to some particular men If you had your Estate in your hands would you make restitution Col. The wrongs themselves you bring to my mind are not great nor many some things of no great moment but such as they are my desire is to make restitution but have not wherewithall Doct. If you had ability would you likewise leave a legacy of thankfulness to Almighty God something to his poor Servants to his lame Members to his deaf Members to his dumb Members Col. My will hath always been better then my ability that way Doct. Sir I shall trouble you very little further I thank you for all those heavenly Colloquies I have enjoyed by being in your Company these three days and truly I am very sorry I must part with so heavenly an Associate We have known one another heretofore but never so Christian-like before I have rather been a Scholar to learn from you then an Instructor I wish this Stage wherein you are made a Spactacle to God Angels and the World may be a School to all about you for though I will not diminish your sins nor shall I conceal nor hypocrize my own for they are great ones betwixt God and my self yet I think there is few here have a lighter load upon them then you have if we consider things well and I only wish them your Repentance and that measure of Faith which God hath given you and that measure of Courage you have attained from God and that constant perseverance God hath crowned you with hitherto Col. His Name be praised Here the Doctor
