was wrought in this An Account thereof out of Hacket's History Arthington's Prophesies Both Manuscripts manner as Hacket testifieth in that Discourse which they since call Hacket's History enlarged endited by himself written by Coppinger and afterward copied out fair by Arthington as it should have gone to the Press being annexed to Arthington's Prophesy For there it is said That the Lord brought Hacket to London about the beginning of Easter Term last to see what would be done against Job Throgmorton and partly to reckon with M. Wigginton about the making of malt between them together At what time Wigginton said That there was a Gentleman in the City a very good man but Hacket as the Lord knoweth did not think that there had been one godly man in the Land and supposed the Twelfth Psalm belonged to this time When Wigginton was describing the Man and the matter that he was entring into viz. that the Man whom he spoke of had a message to say to his Sovereign concerning some practice intended against her from dealing wherein the Preachers in London had wonderfully discouraged him then Hacket answered thus Did you so also No saith Wigginton Then said Hacket encourage him in any wise for what know you what matter it is he hath to say Hereupon Wigginton sent for the said Edmund Coppinger to come to the Counter to speak with him who by God's Providence came forthwith and Wigginton willed them to take acquaintance one of the other assuring Coppinger that he knew Hacket to be a man truly fearing God and such a Person as by whose Conference God might minister some comfort to Coppinger Whereupon they two viz. Coppinger and Hacket went from thence presently unto Hacket ' s Chamber at the Sign of the Castle without Smithfield-Bars So soon as they were entred the Chamber Coppinger desired that before any speech should pass between them they might first pray to God together which they did Hacket speaking to the Lord first After which Prayer Coppinger delivered unto Hacket how he had been very strangely and extraordinarily moved by God to go to her Majesty and to tell her plainly that the Lord's pleasure was that she must with all speed reform her self her Family the Common-wealth and the Church And that the Lord had further told him by what means all the same should be done but that Secret he would not then deliver unto Hacket Then Coppinger also prayed into God desiring him if he would be with him and bless that Business which he had committed to his charge that then he would both furnish him with Gifts fit for so weighty an Action and knit the heart of Hacket and his so together as David ' s and Jonathan ' s Moses ' s and Aaron ' s For answer hereof Hacket took further time till the morning at which time in the morning a Prayer being first made Hacket laid all the Lord's business which was to be done by himself upon Coppinger ' s back telling him the Lord had appointed him to it and would stand with him in it Thus far in this Point goeth that Discourse But long before this time of their two first Acquaintances Coppinger upon his return forth of Kent in Michaelmas Term last had signified unto Arthington and to one T. Lancaster a Schoolmaster in Shoe-lane both being of his familiar Acquaintance and whom he had requested to fast and pray Coppinger pretends to a secret Mystery revealed to him relating to the Discipline and the Queen's repentance about it with him for success in obtaining a Widow that God had shewed him the said Coppinger great favour by revealing such a secret Mystery unto him as was wonderful being in substance thus much viz. That he knew a way how to bring the Queen to repentance and to cause all her Council and Nobles to do the like out of hand or else detect them to be Traitors that refused All they by such Repentance meaning and understanding as it seemeth the erecting of their fanciful Discipline For this Phrase being usual with them in Conferences of this matter he thereby sufficiently declared his mind to them and they well understood what was meant without further a-do Now it had been inconvenient that Coppinger He imparts it to Wigginton should all this while conceal this Mystery which he imparted unto them and after to Hacket from Wigginton who brought them acquainted together unto whom he so oft resorted and so highly above all other Preachers esteemed for his resolute dealings in God's matters as he terms them whom he also after advouched unto Arthington as an irrefragable Witness to be persuaded by that would justify the truth of Hacket's Torments and whom he also knew more often busied for attaining of that Discipline which himself also laboured for than perhaps for Heaven it self And you see that he had accordingly done it Wigginton not discouraging him therein This Proposition so made by Coppinger Arthington and Lancaster mislike the matter as impracticable Arthington saith that he and Lancaster misliked as a matter impossible by Coppinger to be done but by the Lord Jesus only and such whereof the issue could not fall out well any way and so put him off for the first time not understanding in what manner and by what special means Coppinger conceived that such repentance should be wrought in the Queen's Majesty and in others The manner and other circumstances of the first revealing of this pretended Mystery Coppinger himself at large declareth in a Letter written the 4th of February last unto T. C. in Prison The occasion of writing it The manner and circumstances of revealing the Mystery Coppinger declares in a Letter to Cartwright then in Prison desiring an Answer to some Questions he there saith was the said T. C's offer to take knowledge by writing from him of such matter as might induce him to suppose himself to have received some hope of special favour from God to some special use But yet without warrant from the Word direction of the Holy Spirit and approbation of the Church he was he said most unwilling to enter into so great an Action The Letter is long but to this effect That upon some extraordinary humiliation of him he with some other and a Guide of their Exercise joined in a Fast Their Guide in the Evening spake of the use of Fasts c. and then willed the others to add to that which he had delivered either for the general or particular Causes which moved them to humble themselves That a great part of the said Night Coppinger found himself very extraordinarily exercised c. by such a motive as he could not well describe partly comforted with a wonderful Zeal which he found himself to have to set forth God's glory any ways which lawfully he might enter into partly cast down by such a burning fire of Concupiscence as in his greatest strength of body he had not found the like That the next day
out of the Church and maintain in their room Officers and Offices of Antichrist Hereupon gathering thus How can God spare this Land any longer wherein both the Magistrates and Messengers of God have dealt so unfaithfully in the Lord's service Adding That the fearful Judgments of God shall be sure to fall on the Reprobate being already prepared and put into the hands of the Mighty Messenger of the Almighty God William Hacket to be poured out upon this great City of London and upon all Places where repentance followeth not this publication Then he goeth about to prove all such Preachers to be Idolaters or consenting to Idolatry which Practise or Consent and suffer others to use Surpless and Cross because he saith they are the marks of Antichrist Preferring herein the Papists afore them as sinning herein only of ignorance seeking also to engreeve their Faults in this behalf for that they are all Hypocritical Idolaters in that nevertheless they profess Reformation Whereunto he addeth he saith a Secret That this their halting and hypocrisy hath so hardned God's heart against their Requests for bringing in the Discipline that for this unfaithful and Note unsingle walking in their Function he hath hitherto denied it Neither shall any one of them or all of them together have that honour given to bring in Reformation For saith he I tell you truly the Almighty God hath put his Cup of Vengeance into his trusty and faithful Servants hand William Hacket to pour it down shortly upon every wilful and obstinate Sinner that doth not repent upon the notice hereof or else the Lord confound me Lastly he giveth a charge to have this Prophecy together with the incredible but most certain History of the holiest Servant of God William Hacket that ever hath been is or shall be born Christ Jesus only excepted with all speed possible printed and published together as in substance true saith he or else the Lord confound me This wise Prophecy is thus subscribed By the most unworthy Servant but yet a faithful Prophet of the Almighty Jesus or else his Wrath confound me Henry Arthington While Arthington was about this his Task Coppinger writes Hacket's History at large to be published with his Prophecy Coppinger as it seemeth was neither idle nor well occupied for he was setting down from Hacket's own mouth a long Ragman's Role of Hacket's Torments Revelations and I know not what called Hacket's History For by Thursday morning Hacket having enlarged the first draught thereof which was at first but scribled out by Coppinger Arthington was to write out again fair the enlarged Copy that being persited it might be annexed unto the aforesaid Prophecy All that Thursday was spent by them in consultation and writing Hacket being also present and assisting them But with what joyfulness amongst them all it is incredible if we may believe their own Reports Yet Arthington was forced for the haste that was made to have all in readiness against the Friday following and for the desire he had to yield unto Hacket all satisfaction and contentment that might be to sit up most of Thursday night writing out again of the said History so enlarged But on Thursday it self being the 15th of July amongst other their Actions Coppinger and Arthington writ a Letter to the aforesaid T. L. which is of this tenor first at the top of it thus viz. If this Letter be not endited by the Holy Ghost Coppinger's and Arthington's Letter ter unto T. Lancaster who hath appeared in a far greater measure to sinful Wretches in the end of the World even to us whose Names are here under-written and to a third Person in Calling above all former Callings whatsoever Christ Jesus excepted the Lord confound us two with vengeance from Heaven and carry us with all violence into the bottomless Pit If we have not taken the name of God in vain it standeth you upon to read this Letter with fear and trembling with joy and gladness with fear that the Lord should wooe you to do him service with joy that he offereth you honour if you accept it We two are Messengers from Heaven who have a good Captain to guide us who have received immediate Callings from God to call the whole World to repentance and amendment of Life otherwise they are to fear that Christ Jesus's second coming in glory will be to them as a Thief in the night If I Edmund Coppinger do not prefer you before any one man in the Land whatsoever for your wise holy loving and religious Course both in the general Calling of a Christian and in your particular Calling the Lord confound me Body and Soul The reason why I chuse you first is because in your House in your presence and under God partly by your means I had my first extraordinary Calling though thereof as of all other things the whole honour and glory be the Lord's And of the same mind is my Brother Arthington In token of our extraordinary love to you we deal as we neither have or will do with any other for we command in the name of the Lord all Creatures upon the Earth and they must obey But with you we will dispense thus far that it shall be your choise to come and take a new Calling for a time wherein we would use you or refuse it So wishing you to commend us and your self to God before you answer us which we expect in word and not in writing c. The Messenger of Mercy to the whole World if they accept me E. Coppinger I avouch whatsoever my Brother hath written to be most true And further I protest that you are a more holy man than any Preacher in London or throughout the whole Land or else the Lord confound me If it please you to come and see me joyful you may hope this is true The Prophet of God's Judgements to the whole World where mercy is rejected Hen. Arthington That the perfit and enlarged History of Hacket be briefly gathered into a Summary and here set down it will not I think be amiss for such as shall be desirous to know what mysteries may be therein contained which drew these two amongst other matters into such a extraordinary admiration and opinion of him First therefore There is declared whom A sum of Hacket's History Hacket served then how he got the execution of the Bailywick of Oundel being void How upon complaint of the Wives there that their Husbands spent their thrift in Alehouses on the Sabbath days he by a Justice of Peace not far off did cause all the Playing Tables that could be come by to be burnt Also the light and enticing behaviour of some Women towards him and his familiarity with them whereby his Wife became jealous of him so that he was forced for her satisfaction to clear himself by his Oath The sundry Baits laid by means of some of his Fellows that envied him for the credit he had with
those whom he served to entrap him with Women His attempting them in dishonest manner but with purpose only as he there pretendeth to learn of them the Practices against him The like Snares laid for him by some of better place and credit than the former Of his affliction in mind that he endured because he so behaved himself toward Women and yet could not learn out by them the plot laid against him Of his going into Hampshire to have been placed there How he was in a place there for the most part of 20 days beat with a Bostonado and into what pitiful state of Body he was thereby brought That this was done partly for his avouching that Christ was Head of the Church against the Pope and for saying That as certain Earthen Pots were there by him broken so should all Papists be broken in Hell and confounded so many as rose up against him in Earth How he was forced to use the Deputy-Lieutenant of Hampshire his Aid to be safely conveyed out of that Country lest he should be murthered by his Enemies That he came thence to one M. Paul Wentworth's House where he remained a Month and was used most Christianly and where he was most deeply exercised in the Spirit How as he passed by the way out of Hampshire he told a Gentleman in company that was privy to his Enemies Complots of a great Practice intended against him and to be done in a Chamber by certain Persons whom he then named aforehand Insomuch as the said Gentleman being made privy to such purpose and knowing that he said true affirmed surely he could conjure or else it had not been possible to tell such things as he did where indeed he saith the Lord in the midst of his former Afflictions revealed it unto him and further shewed him a Place which he had appointed for him and how he would bring all his Enemies Practices to confusion How in performance of that which was so revealed he was afterward in a certain Place in Hartfordshire bound first in a Chamber and then chained in a Sink-hole of a Seller and most grievously many ways afflicted there for 20 days together That in the greatest extremity thereof which was greater than he could express a Cross came upon his Breast as he lay and always when his Torments were at the greatest the Lord unloosed his Feet and Hands from his Fetters and Bands nevertheless he lay still till his Tormentors came and bound him again How the Lord then appeared to him and assured him that he would establish the Gospel by him and shewed him all the Whoredom of Rome in the person of a great Personage since deceased as it were in Candle-light with a great Bell full of iniquity That during that time the Lord shewed him a terrible Famine which he would bring upon a Land but whether this Land or not was not declared That Christ then shewed him his Wisdom and Providence in governing the Seas and all other Waters in their Courses And further shewed him the Man that should sit on Christ's Right hand to judge both the quick and the dead whose Name he well knoweth That then he made his Petition unto the Lord who answered him by a Voice thus What he would how he would and when he would How by the extremity of his Torments his Eyes were fallen down and his Tongue thrust out of his Head so as he could not pull it in again one Barley-corn's breadth but the Lord in that extremity shewed him that he would keep his Body from hursting and that one hair of his Head should not perish That being loosed by his Wife's importunity soon after in a very Rainy-day he his Wife one Richard Dickens and one Palmer rid altogether thence toward Oundell thirty Miles that day and albeit it rained all the day very fore so that great floods came upon it yet never a one of them had any drop thereof fall upon their Clothes That being at Oundell and foreseeing he should be exercised again he prayed his Wife that no man might come at him for he would keep his Chamber And then the Lord appeared unto him and shewed him in what danger the Land was by reason of foreign Enemies at the Sea and commanded him to go round about the Town and that should be a defence to the Land round about That after this he kept himself in his Barn about eight days reasoning with the Lord touching Predestination and Reprobation continually begging of him that he would save all those that fought ignorantly against the Truth or otherwise sinned through want of knowledge How after this betaking himself to his Chamber again the Lord he saith forced him to cry out against two great Subjects and Counsellors in this Land That he was again bound and tormented there other twenty days in eight whereof he neither did eat nor drink and was continually watched for that they knew the Lord would come and loose him if they left him That during this time Witches used their Sorcery strongly upon him That the Lord then told him that he would harden his own heart against Hacket's Tormentors How then also four or five Angels night by night stood by him and watched over him like unto Doves and one night Spirits innumerable And that a white Hand came from the Almighty and took him by the hand whereby all Venome Poison Uncleanness and Corruption departed from him for a time whereupon the Lord shewed him three Heavens together and all the dwelling places contrived in one of them but the highest Heaven was shewed to be without end which glory he was not able to behold but was made able to look upon the Blood of the Saints which was made round like a Wax Cake in very great breadth but the glory which therewith appeared he could not look upon so that he was forced to turn his face upon the Pillow How the Lord also shewed him the murthering of the Wicked even like the slaying of Swine the Father murthering the Son and the Mother the Daughter and every one another all the day long and no man took pity upon them That there was then revealed unto him a very strange fire from Heaven the length whereof he did see consuming all things from the Heaven to Hell mouth but he did not see the breadth thereof Also that he then did see the breadth of the tormenting place of the Damned and what was therein but neither the bottom nor length of the place That he also supposed he saw his Liberty begged by two honourable Personages Notwithstanding which deliverance that he dreamed of he telleth that he was carried afterward to Northampton Gaol where he remained 17 Weeks as afore is remembred Furthermore there is declared That in his Torments the Lord shewed him how he would confound all his Adversaries that were guilty in any practice against him and that one thing which they went about they should never bring to pass for he let
obedient Persons to him in all things Thus that Thursday passed on On Friday morning Coppinger sent his Man Emerson by Five of the Clock in the morning unto Arthington's Lodging but his Wife would not then awake him so he sent for him again at Six and they two then went together unto Coppinger Then Coppinger and Arthington determined that Friday morning being the 16th day of July last between Six and Seven of the Clock in the forenoon to go unto a certain Gentleman's House about the City of good behaviour and they forsooth to honour him to be chief Governor under her Majesty which they also did that Morning and promised unto him accordingly that he should so be Leaving also with him both the said Prophecy and Hacket's History to peruse but the good Gentleman was unwilling to deal either with them or their Papers any way They flayed not there above half an hour From thence they came betwixt Eight and Nine of the Clock in the Morning unto Wigginton's Chamber being Prisoner in the Counter in Woodstreet with whom having much speech and conference part whereof is touched before among other things they signified unto him as Arthington confesseth that they were provoked to pronounce him the holiest Minister of all others for dealing so plainly and resolutely in God's Causes above all Ministers which God would manifest one day to his comfort Wigginton at his examination confesseth such Conference by him at that time to have been had with them and as he was enjoined by those who examined him hath reported it by writing somewhat largely He therein also setteth down a Conference had by him about the same matters with Hacket himself coming to him thither alone as he saith the self-same Friday morning some while after the other two were departed from him It may be gathered by his own Narration that betwixt the time of Coppinger and Arthington's talk with him Wigginton had set down Article-wise and distincted with number the several Heads of their Speeches had with him And after he also enquired and set down in writing Hacket's Opinion likewise unto every of the said Articles severally And albeit it need not be questioned but that both for Circumstance and Matter he would set it down the least that might be either to his own or any his Complices disadvantage yet may it serve for the fuller understanding of the whole Action and for necessary observation besides to touch some chief Points of those Conferences though it be but as himself telleth them The principal Points of Wigginton's Wigginton ' s Report of his Conference and Speeches with Coppinger Arthington and Hacket own Report touching Conference and Speeches had by him to and fro with Coppinger and Arthington and afterward with Hacket the 16th day of July in the Morning 1591. He saith That Coppinger and Arthington came unto him about Eight or Nine of the Clock of the 16th day of July in the Morning full of courage and comfort saying unto him thus We are come to you now to bring you certain News of great comfort which is this viz. That we have 1. seen Jesus Christ this day in lively and extraordinary shape or fashion presented unto us not in his Body for so he sitteth at the right hand of God in Heaven until the last Judgment but in his effectual or principal Spirit whereby he dwelleth in William Hacket more than in any Creature upon the Earth When Hacket came not long after their departure that Morning unto him Wigginton saith That he examined him about the whole Speeches of Coppinger and Arthington uttered before unto him whereunto Hacket answered first generally thus That he approved them no further than he saw they had warrant for their doings but particularly to this first Article thus viz. Hacket's Answer thereof unto Wigginton To the first That he knew not of that their Vision but he accounted himself to be a chief Messenger of God in such sort as followeth Coppinger and Arthington's Speeches to Wigginton That the said William Hacket is the very same Angel forespoken of by the Scriptures who should come before the last Judgment of Christ with a Fan or Sheephook in his hand to separate the Goats from the Sheep Hacket's Answer To the second That he was the only principal Man sent of God to decide the Controversies of the Gospel of Christ in the World or in England or in Europe into which Controversies some bad Persons being Enemies to him and to the Gospel in England and some of them being great Personages had drawn him to enter by their Cruel Unjust and Extraordinary Practices and Treacheries or Sorceries used against him and that by him as by a principal Angel of God with his Fan in his hand God would now separate the Sheep from the Goats and that God would establish the Gospel by him generally either by his death or by his life but quoth he as it were correcting himself by my life it must be Coppinger and Arthington's Speeches That Hacket is a Man dearer or nearer unto God in some respects than Moses or John the 3. Divine who wrote the Revelation because he must as it were bring an accomplishment unto their Prophesies and hath a more excellent spirit or work to do than they in some respects Hacket's Answer To the third That God would do a greater Work by him the said William Hacket than ever he did by any of all the Prophets for the establishment of his Gospel to the confusion of Satan and Antichrist Coppinger and Arthington's Speeches That the said Hacket had laid two several Charges in the name of Christ upon them two 4. which they must needs perform or execute the one upon Arthington of Prophecy concerning the end of the World the other upon Coppinger of painting out the good and bad in the World or in these parts of the World and one of them had in purpose or charge to read over the whole Bible for proof of their Office and Business Hacket's Answer To the fourth That God had sent Arthington to be the said Hacket his Writer or Pen and the said Coppinger to be the Expounder of his Mind or Deliverer of his Message to the old Magistrates which were almost gone and to the New and to the World Coppinger and Arthington's Speeches That they had some sight of the glory of the 5. World to come where they found that the Queen was highly in God's favour because she had cut off much of Antichrist's Force or Train but c. That M. Cartwright had done more against 6. Antichrist than any in the World before him since the Apostles time and that Wigginton was Mutuùm muli scabunt comparable unto him and M. Lancaster meaning a Schoolmaster in Shoe-Lane was above them both in the state of heavenly glory because he had kept himself undefiled from the common Corruptions of these Times and had a most single heart to God Hacket's Answer
dismayed and yet not sought to be revealed by Wigginton unto any Magistrate till upon his examination it was found out Lastly I observe the Coggery of the 6 Reporter or else the lewd lying and contradiction to himself of that wretched Seducer Hacket For in his Answer to the fifth and sixth Articles he knows no degrees of glory in Heaven and yet in his Answer to the eighth he assigneth more honour and higher places in Heaven unto some few that are the most forward than he doth unto others But let us go on with the Narration of the principal Action interrupted by occasion of the Conferences had with Wigginton and of his report of them From Wigginton's Lodging the said Coppinger Hacket ' s History continued and Arthington came directly to Hacket's Chamber in Walker's House at Broken Wharf and there found the Beast in Bed after Eight of the Clock Where being enflamed they say with zeal out of all measure Coppinger began to pray at the Bed's feet and Arthington joined with him wherein they stood much upon their own unworthiness c. but yet offered their obedience to do as the Lord should direct them by his Spirit having already done so much as was enjoined them Whereupon Hacket came out of his Bed and prayed with them in his Shirt twice that the Spirit might direct them and they likewise obey the same in all things to the glory of God only After Hacket's latter Prayer Coppinger offered to go on in his Prayer but the Devilish Spirit moved Arthington to interrupt him and to charge him in the Name of the Lord Jesus to arise and anoint the King with the Holy Ghost Whereupon Coppinger straightway rose up and three times kissed the Boards under his feet rising up after every time and making great reverence with bowed knee and after the third time he came towards Hacket as he lay in his Bed who put out his hand and took Coppinger by the hand and said You shall not need to anoint me Blasphemy for I have been already anointed in Heaven by the Holy Ghost himself Then Coppinger asked him what his pleasure was to be done Go your way both said he as Arthington reports and tell them in the City that Christ Jesus is come with his Fan in his hand to judge the Earth And if any man ask you where he is tell them he lies at Walker ' s House by Broken Wharf and if they will not believe it let them come and kill me if they can for as truly as Christ Jesus is in Heaven so truly is he come to judge the world Then Coppinger said it should be done forthwith and thereupon went forward and Arthington followed so readily the said Prophet of Mercy that he had no leisure to take his Gloves with him and ere Arthington could get down the Stairs Coppinger had begun in the House below to proclaim News from Heaven of exceeding great Mercy That Christ Jesus was come c. as above is said with whom Arthington also cried the same words aloud following him along the Streets from thence by Watling-street and Old Change towards Cheapside they both adding beyond their Commission these words Repent England Repent But surely either their Commission was delivered them at one time or other more largely than the one of them now reporteth or else they went beyond and exceeded it in many other material Points besides this For after they both had thus come with mighty concourse of the common multitude as to such a novelty of hearing two new Prophets in these days arisen was likely with an uniform cry into Cheapside near unto the Cross and there finding the throng and press of People to encrease about them in such sort as that they could not well pass further nor be conveniently heard of them all as they desired therefore they got them up into an empty Cart which stood there and out of that choise Pulpit fur such a purpose made their lewd and traiterous preachment unto the People wherein they stood not only upon the words of their former cry but so near as I could learn from so common an Auditory and in so confused an Action they reading something out of a Paper went more particularly over the Office and Calling of Hacket how he represented Christ by partaking a part of his glorified Body by his principal Spirit and by the Office of severing the Good from the Bad with his Fan in his hand and of establishing the Gospel in Europe which as it seemeth they took to be all the World or else supposed that all Europe did profess Christianity and of bringing in that Discipline which they so often babble of and which they mean by the term of Reformation and the holy Cause That he was now come and all these things were presently to be performed by him telling also the People where they saw him where he lay and remained That they were two Prophets the one of Mercy the other of Judgment sent and extraordinarily called by God to assist him in this great Work and were Witnesses of these things confirming the same upon their own Salvation and wishing themselves confounded and damned for ever if these things they spoke were not true And thereupon the one of them pronounced Mercy great Comfort and unspeakable Joys to all that should repent presently be obedient and embrace this acceptable Message and opportunity offered And the other denounced terrible Judgments if they repented not which should even presently also fall upon them and especially upon that City of London affirming that all that believed them not were condemned Body and Soul This Judgment against London as Arthington the pretended Prophet of Judgment saith he gathered out of Hacket's History was that men should there kill and massacre one another as Butchers do kill Swine all the day long and no man should take compassion of them There was then and there further delivered by them or by the one of them that Hacket was King of Europe and so ought to be obeyed and taken and that all Kings must hold of him and that the Queen's Majesty had forfeited her Crown and was worthy to be deprived Which most traiterous Point amongst others Hacket enjoined them to publish as in the one of his Indictments is contained Lastly In very unmannerly and sawey terms they prayed to God to confound two great Lords of her Majesty's Counsel for these two together with a certain Knight they then and there openly and most lewdly accused in general terms of Treason This outrage was done the sixteenth day of July aforesaid about Ten of the Clock or something after in the Forenoon By which their Proclamation being laid together with their former Conferences Letters and Purposes against the Queen and Counsel and for advancing of Hacket and for altering the State with the very time when so many Soldiers were about the City it is evident to any who hath but half an eye to
