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
world all and every of those bitter Enemies which have persecuted me and humbly desire to be forgiven of God first and then of every man whether I have off●nded him or not if he doe ●ut conceive that I have Lord doe thou forgive me and I beg forgivenesse of him And so I heartily desire you to joyn in Prayer with me OEternall God and mercifull Father looke downe upon me in mercy in the riches and fulnesse of all thy mercies looke upon me but not till thou hast nailed my sinnes to the Crosse of Christ not till thou hast bathed me in the blood of Christ not till I have hid my selfe in the wounds of Christ that so the punishment due unto my sinnes may passe over me And since thou art pleased to try me to the uttermost I humbly beseech thee give me now in this great instant full patience proportionable comfort and a heart ready to dye for thy honour the King's happinesse and this Churches preservation And my zeale to these farre from Arrogancy be it spoken is all the sinne humane frailties except●d and all incidents thereto which is yet known to me in particular for which I now come to suffer I say in this particular of Treason but otherwise my sins are many and great Lord pardon them all those especially what ever they are which have drawne downe this present judgement upon me and when thou hast given me strength to beare it doe with me as seemes best in thine own eyes carry me through death that I may looke upon it in what visage soever it shall appeare to me Amen And that there may be a stop of this issue of bloud in this more then miserable Kingdome I shall desire that I may pray for the people too as well as for my selfe O Lord I beseech thee give grace of repentance to all bloud-thirsty people but if they will not repent O Lord confound all their devices defeat and frustrate all their designes and endeavours upon them which are or shall be contrary to the Glory of thy great Name the truth and sincerity of Religion the establishment of the King and his posterity after him in their just rights and Priviledges the honour and conservation of Parliaments in their just power the preservation of this poore Church in her truth peace and patrimony and the settlement of this distracted and distressed People under their ancient Lawes and in their native Liberties And when thou hast done all this in meere mercy for them O Lord fill their hearts with thankfullnesse and with religious dutifull obedience to thee and thy Commandements all their dayes So Amen Lord Jesus Amen and receive my Soule into thy Bosome Amen Our Father which art in heaven c. 11. Sir Henry Cage Governour of Oxford intended to have raised a fort at Cullom-Bridge but the designe being treacherously discovered he was prevented and in the attempt most unfortunately received a shot whereof within two houres after he dyed His Body was afterwards interred at Oxford with funebrious exequies and solemnities answerable to his merits who having done His Majesty speciall service was whilst living generally beloved and dead is still universall lamented He was a most valiant and expert Souldier and a most pious and learned Gentleman as may appeare by that learned tract of his written and printed at Oxford entituled the prerogative of man or his Soules immortalitie and high perfection defended c. His daily refreshed memory makes me trespasse on the Readers Patience with this ELEGIE Vpon the never-enough lamented death of Sir HEN GAGE the most desired Governour of Oxford SO Titus called was The worlds delight And straight-way dyed The envious Sisters spight Still the great favourite The darling head Unto the Fates is alwayes forfeited Our Life 's a Chase where though the whole Herd fly The goodliest Deere is singled out to dye And as in beasts the fattest ever bleeds So amongst men he that doth bravest deeds He might have liv'd had but a cowards feare Kept him securely sculking in the reare Or like some sucking Colonell whose edge Durst not advance a foot from a thick hedge Or like the wary Skippon had so sure A suite of Armes he might besieg'd endure Or like the Politick Lords of a different skill Who thought a Saw-pit safer or a hill Whose valour in two organs too did lye Distinct the one in 's eare th' other in his eye Puppets of War Thy name shall be divine And happily augment the number Nine But that the Heroes and the Muses strive To owne thee dead who wert them all alive Such an exact composure was in thee Neither exceeded Mars nor Mercurie T was just though hard thou shouldst dye Governour Osth ' Kings cheife Fort of Learning and of War Thy death was truly for thy Garrison Thou dy'dst projecting her Redemption What unto Basing twice successefull spirit Was done th' hast effected here in merit The Bridge was broken downe The Fort alone GAGE was himselfe the first and the last stone Goe burne thy Faggots Browne and grieve thy Rage Lets thee out-live the gentle grasp of GAGE And when thou read'st in thy Britanicus The boasted story of his death say thus The Valour I have showne in this was Crime And GAGES Death will brand me to all Time In this Moneth the John of London belonging to the East India Merchants was brought to Bristoll by the Loyalty of Captaine Mucknell and the rest of the Officers and Mariners of the Ship for his Majesties Service wherein were 26. Peeces of Ordnance mounted 17000. l. in money besides some other good commodities For which good service the said Captaine Mucknell had the honour to be the first Knight that ever the Prince of Wales made And within a few daies after another Ship called the Fame of London was by tempest forced into Dartmouth where she was seized on for His Majesty Service as lawfull price being bound for Dover or London This Ship had beene abroad 4. yeares and was now returned homewards from the West Indies laden with Bullion Oyle Couchanielle and other rich commodities to the value of 40000. l. at least The Treatie began at Uxbridge wherein the Candour of His Majesties most reall intentions and desires of peace was very prespicuous For his Majestie did not only arme Commissioners or any Tenne of them with a very large and powerfull Commission to treat of conclude and settle a firme peace in his dominions but did also by Proclamation appoint a solemne Fast on the fift day of February then next for a blessing on that treaty with a forme of Common Prayer set forth by His Majesty especiall Command to be used in all Churches and Chappell 's within this Kingdome February 9. Sir Walter Hastings Governour of Portland Castle for His Majesty took the great fort of Weymouth and within two dayes after Sir Lewis Dives took the middle fort and Towne of Weymouth and in a skirmish there slew Major Sydenham
a forward enemy with some others 15. Rowdon house neare Chippenham in Wiltshire after nine dayes siege was taken by His Majesties Forces 20. The Lord Macguire an Irish Baron was executed by the common hang-man at Tyburne by command of the Parl. In the history of which execution recorded in many of their owne Pamphlets the reader may observe two questions asked by Master Gibbs one of the Sheriffes of London and answered by that Lord the very instant before his death The first was whether he knew of any Commision the King had granted to the Irish Rebells for the commotion they had raised in Ireland He answered that he never knew nor heard of any the second was whether there was not some agreement made by the Irish Commissioners before the Rebellion first brake out with the Recusants in England He answered that to his Knowledge there was never any one in England either Catholique or Protestant that knew of it but one and he was an Irish man and a Protestant and he came to the knowledge of it by chance not as he was an Actor in it Out of which and out of that delivered by the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury on the Scaffold immediately before his death the world may evidently see His Majesty irrefragably cleared by two acts of the Parliaments owne cruelty from two of the most scandalous aspersions by which the malice of these forgiving enemies hath from time to time endeavoured to make His Sacred Majestie odious to his People Salutem ex inimicis nostris may the King well say seeing his enemies actions turned to his Justification quite contrary to their intendments The first was an imagined inclination in His Majesty to Popery The second a pretended Commissionating of the Irish Rebellion In the first the Arch Bishop of Canterbury In this the Lord Macguire both at their very dying houres have rendred His Majesty as innocent as his enemies intended him odious I say innocent because we know the worst of Rebells cannot but credit those persons especially testifying at such time when they were immediately after to give an account of all their Actions to the knower of all hearts Nor can any one beleeve but the Arch Bishop of Canterbury who was dayly conversant with His Majesty in matters of Religion must needs know the very depth of his heart therein And the Lord Macguire who was privy to the first motion of the Irish Rebellion must likewise of necessity have known of the Kings Commission if any such thing had been 22. The Treaty at Uxbridge was broken up though His Majesty sent a particular Message and his Commissioners did earnestly desire that the same might be continued In this treaty His Majesties Commissioners condescended much but those of Westminster would abate nothing of the rigour of their unheard of Propositions which was the cause the treaty tooke no better effect The same day was the Towne of Shrewsbury by treachery in the night delivered to Colonell Mitton the Parliaments Governour of Wem Here you may see the Parliaments Masterpiece in hatching this treacherous plot in the time of Treaty wherein they used the name of peace only as a Masque for their designes but intended nothing lesse 25. Sir Marmaduke Langdale routed a great body of the Parl. forces consisting of at least 1200. Horse Dragoons commanded by Colonell Rossiter a Scot neare Melton Mowbray in Leicester shire The same day Colonell Roger Molineux with a party of horse from Mewarke took the Parl. Committee at Wirksworth in Darby-shire where they were gathering Contribution 26. Sir William and Sir Charles Compton brothers to the Noble Earle of Northampton with three hundred horse routed foure hundred of the Praliaments horse of Northampton neare Daventry in that County In the latter end of this moneth a party of His Majesties Forces from Hereford tooke Castle-ditch a Garrison of the Parliaments on the borders of that County March 1. Pontfract Castle that had been long besieged not without much losse to the Parl. by frequent sallies made by the defendants and otherwise was relieved by Sir Marmaduke Langdale who there utterly defeated the Lord Fairfax his whole Army 7. Major Abercromy a rebellious plundring Scot was slaine neere Stratton Audley in Buckinghamshire where his party of Horse was routed and 17. of his men and horse taken prisoners by a party from Borstall house 14. Col. Long the High Sherife of Wil shire with his owne Regiment of Horse onely gallantly charged a great body of Wallers horse neere the Devises and did good ex●cution on them but being much over-powered by the Parl. numbers was at length taken Prisoner with some part of his Regiment which was within few dayes after sufficiently requited by the Lo Goring who took above 700. of Wallers Horse in those parts 15. A party of His Majesties Horse from Pontfract Castle fell on Col. Brandlings Quarters at Badsworth 4. miles from Doncaster took 67. prisoners whereof 13. Officers 130. Horse and 1000. l. in money 18. The Earle of Northampton with his 3. young brothers in all whom Gallantry is hereditary routed a great body of the Northampton Horse neere Althrop in that County The same day Beeston Castle in Cheshire was relieved by P. Ruperts approach into those parts 24. The Lower Members at Westminster vote the Clause for preservation of His Majesties Person to be left out in Sir Tho Fairfax his Commission Thus doe the members 1. Sweare to live and dye with their owne General Essex yet upon second thoughts they disoblige themselves from that oath and cashiere him of his Command 2. Covenant to preserve His Majesties Person and Authority and yet afterwards authorize Sir Tho Fairfax to kill him if he can 2. They vow to maintain the Protestant Religion yet condemne the essentiall parts thereof and introduce irreligion and profanenesse Now tell me Reader what Tropologicall sense can save this jugling from flat and literall Perjury not all the addition of their Abrogative to their Legislative power For this is indeed to abrogate Christianity as well as Loyalty out of the World To give leave to kill the Kings Person in the field and yet to cheat men into a conceipt of preserving His Majesty in William Lenthalls Chaire To make the world beleeve they are Protestants when they permit and authorize an illiterate Assembly of Non-Divines to discountenance the 39. Articles dispute about expunging the fift Article of the Apostles Creed To antiquate the Lords Prayer out of the Church Service and turne out the long-setled Service of Common-Prayer out of the Church to give way to a long-winded extemporary non-sense in the roome thereof O tempora O mores Are not these fine Law-makers who violate the Lawes of God and holy Church as well as those themselves were borne unto to make way for their owne Chymeraes Would not any true Zelot pawne his soule upon these mens consciences who make no conscience of breaking their owne oathes Would not any wise man melt his Fortunes
is a great clamour that I would have brought in Popery I shall answer that more fully by and by In the meane time you know what the Pharisees said against Christ himselfe If we let him alone all men will believe in him Et venient Romani and the Romans will come take away both our place and the Nation Here was a causelesse Cry against Christ that the Romans will come And see how just the judgement of God was they crucified Christ for feare lest the Romans should come and his death was it which brought in the Romans upon them God punishing them with that which they most feared And I pray God this clamour of Venient Romani of which I have given no cause help not to bring them in for the Pope never had such a Harvest in England since the Reformation as he hath now upon the Sects and Divisions that are amongst us In the mean time by Honour and dishonour by good report and evill report as a deceiver and yet true am I passing through this world 2 Cor. 6. 8. Some particulars also I think it not amisse to speake of And first this I shall be bold to speak of the King our gracious Soveraigne He hath beene much traduced also for bringing in of Popery but on my Conscience of which I shall give God a very present accompt I know Him to be as free from this charge as any man living and I hold Him to be as sound a Protestant according to the Religion by Law established as any man in this Kingdome And that he will venture His Life as farre and as freely for it and I think I doe or should know 60th his affection to Religion and His grounds for it as fully as any man in England The second particular is concerning this great and Populous City which God blesse Here hath beene of late a fashion taken up to gather hands and then goe to the Great Court of this Kingdome the Parliament and clamour for Justice as if that great and wise Court before whom the Causes come which are unknowne to the many could not or would not doe Justice but at their appointment A way which may endanger many an Innocent man and pluck his blood upon their owne heads and perhaps upon the Cities also And this hath beene lately practised against my selfe The Magistrates standing still and suffering them openly to proceed from parish to parish without check God forgive the setters of this with all my heart I beg it but many well meaning people are caught by it In Saint Stevens case when nothing else could serve they stirred up the people against him and Herod went the same way when he had killed Saint James yet he would not venture upon Saint Peter till he found how the other pleased the people But take heed of having your hands full of blood for there is a time best knowne to himselfe when God above other sinnes makes Inquisition for bloud and when that Inquisition is on foot the Psalmist tells us That God remembers but that is not all He remembers and forgets not the complaint of the poore that is whose blood is shed by oppression verse 9. take heed of this It is a fearfull thing to fall into the hands of the living God but then especially when he is making Inquisition for blood And with my prayers to avert it I doe heartily desire this City to remember the Prophefie that is expressed Jer. 26. 14 15 As for me behold I am in your hand doe with me as seemeth good and meet unto you But know yee for certaine that if yee put me to death ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon your selves and upon this City and the Inhabitants thereof c. The third particular is the poor Church of England It hath flourished and beene a shelter to other neighbouring Churches when stormes have driven upon them But alas now it is in a storme it selfe and God onely knowes whether or how it shall get out and which is worse then a storme from without it is become like an Oak cleft to shivers with wedges made out of its owne body and at every cleft prophanesse and irreligion is entring in while as Prosper speakes in his second Booke De vitae contemptu cap. 4. Men that introduce prophanesse are cloaked over with the name Religionis Imaginariae of Imaginary Religion for we have lost the Substance and dwell too much in Opinion and that Church which all the Jesuites machinations could not ruine is fallen into danger by her owne The last particular for I am not willing to be too long is my selfe I was borne and baptized in the bosome of the Church of England established by Law in that profession I have ever since lived and in that I come now to dye This is no time to dissemble with God least of all in matter of Religion and therefore I desire it may be remembred I have alwayes lived in the Protestant Religion established in England and in that I now come to dye What clamour and slanders I have endured for labouring to keepe an Uniformity in the externall service of God according to the Doctrine and Discipline of this Church all men know and I have abundantly felt Now at last I am accused of High Treason in Parliament a crime which my soule ever abhorred this Treason was charged to consist of these two parts An endeavour to subvert the Lawes of the Land and a like Endeavour to overthrow the true Protestant Religion established by Law Besides my Answers to the severall Charges I protested my innocency in both Houses It was said Prisoners protestations at the ●ar must not be taken I can bring no witnesse of my heart the intentions thereof therefore I must come to my Protestation not at the Bar but my Protestation at this houre and instant of my death in which I hope all men will be such charitable Christians as not to think I would dye and dissemble being instantly to give God an accompt for the truth of it I doe therefore here in the presence of God and his holy Angells take it upon my death That I never endeavoured the subversion either of Law or Religion and I desire you all to remember this Protest of mine concerning mine innocency in these and from all Treasons whatsoever I have beene accused likewise as an enemy to Parliaments No I understand them and the benefit that comes by them too well to be so But I did mislike the misgovernments of some Parl. many wayes and I had good reason for it for Corruptio optimiest pessi●a there is no corruption in the world so bad as that which is of the best thing in it selfe For the better the thing is in nature the worse it is corrupted And that being the highest Court over which no other hath jurisdiction when t is mis-informed or mis-governed the Subject is left without all remedy But I have done I forgive all the
