Sir Charles Ousely a Gentleman who came something late into play on this side being converted from a Cavaleere in a good hour He became one of the Little Parliament which he helped to break and to set the Protector on the Throne for which worthy service he was as he well deserved taken in to be one of his Council was also of the Parliaments since a man of constancy and certainty in his principles much like the winde and although he hath done nothing for the Cause whereby to merit yet is he counted of that worth as to be every way fit to be taken out of the Parliament to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over such as have done most and merited highest in the Cause the Protector and his fellow Negative Men excepted and over all the Commonwealth beside 10. Mr. Rouse one of the Long Parliament and by them made Provost or Master of Eaton Colledge he abode in that Parliament and helped to change the Government into a Commanwealth and to destroy the Negative Voyce in the King and Lords was also of the Little Parliament and their Speaker who when the good things came to be done which were formerly declared for and for not doing of which the Old Parliament was pretendedly dissolved being an old Bottle and so not fit to bear that new Wine without putting it to the question left the chair and went with his fellow old Bottle● to White-hall to surrender their power to the General which he as Speaker and they by signing a Parchment or Paper pretended to do The colourable foundation for this Apostacy upon the Monarchical foundation being thus laid and the General himself as Protector seated thereon he became one of his h Council good old man and well he deserved it for he ventured hard he was also of the Parliaments since and being an aged Venerable man all exceptions set aside may be counted worthy to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over all that shall question him for what he hath done and over all the people of these Lands besides though he would not suffer it in the King and Lords 11. Major General Skippon sometime called The honest English Captain in the Netherlands was afterward Captain of those of the Artillery Ground in London who refusing to attend the King at York when he sent unto him and adhering to the Parliament was by them made Major General under the Earl of Essex under whom many an honest man lost his life in fighting for the Cause of Freedom and Justice and against the Negative Voyce of the King and Lords whose blood surely will lye at some bodies door and cry He was of the Long Parliament and helped to change the Government and make the Laws of Treaso● against a single persons Rule and was outed with them After the Little Parliament for endeavouring to bring forth what the old Parliament was turn'd out for not doing was dissolv'd he was brought in play again by means of Philip Nye Metropolitan Tryer of White-hall and made one of the Protectors i Council and Major General of the City in the decimating business hath been of all the Parliaments since who being so grave and Venerable a man his errour in leading men to fight against the Kings Negative Voyce may be forgiven him and he admitted as fit to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House himself not onely over those who have fought along with him but all the people of these Lands besides the rather for that he is very aged and not likely to exercise that power long 12.

A Second NARRATIVE OF THE Late Parliament so called Wherein after a brief Reciting some Remarkable Passages in the former Narrative is given an Account of their Second Meeting and Things transacted by them As also how the Protector so called came Swearing By the living God and dissolved them after two or three Weeks Sitting With some Quaeries sadly proposed thereupon Together with an Account of three and forty of their Names who were taken out of the House and others that sate in the Other House intended for a House of Lords but being so unexpectedly disappointed could not take Root with a Brief Character and Description of them All humbly presented to Publique View By a Friend to the good Old Cause of Justice Righteousnesse the Freedom and Liberties of the People which hath cost so much Bloud and Treasure to be carried on in the late Wars and are not yet settled Josh. 6. 26. Cursed be the man before the Lord that riseth up and buildeth the city Jericho he shall lay the foundation thereof in his first-born and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it Job 5. 3 4. I have seen the foolish taking root but suddenly I cursed his habitation His children are far from safety and they are crushed in the gate neither is there any to deliver them Job 5. 12. He disappointeth the Devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot finde their enterprise Job 18. 14. His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle and it shall bring him to the King of Terrours Printed in the Fifth Year of Englands Slavery under its New Monarchy 1658. Courteous Reader THere was formerly a Narrative published giving thee an Account of the Choosing Comming together Secluding of some and Sitting of the rest of the late Parliament so called as also of the things that did attend them and the Acts that were passed by them The goodnesse of which Acts with their tendency to Enslave and Oppresse the Nation is sadly experienced to the Cost and Sorrow of not a few For instance First that Wicked Vnjust and Oppressive Act for New Buildings under which many a Soul hath groaned some though having in the last 16 or 18 Years past paid twice the value of their Houses in Taxes have thereby been forced unlesse they will be plundred or cast into Prison to pay a Years Rent more in the cruell prosecution of which Act many sad Cases have fallen out Secondly the Act for the Excise imposing it for ever with the Customs as a standing Revenue to the Crown and letting it out to Farm to the horrible Oppression of the People setting up Patentees to Rule them at pleasure Thirdly An Act for a three Years Tax to pay the Souldiers where the Great ones get all and the Inferiours very little but are behinde near a year many of them living on Tickets whilest their great Leaders ruffle in their Gallantry And as if that were not enough did then Order a Three Moneths Tax to be paid twice over And to name but one more for brevity sake Fourthly an Act for a High Court so called of Justice for the Preservation of the Protectors Person as if the Law and Souldiers were not as sufficient to protect him now as when he was Generall but an Arbitrary and Illegall Court must be erected in a time of Peace to take away the Lives of persons at their pleasure There is likewise in that Narrative a Catalogue or an Account given of One hundred eighty two of the Members of that unworthy Assembly who were Sons Kinsmen Servants and otherwise engaged unto and had Places of Profit Offices Sallaries * and Advantages under the Protector so called whereby it doth appear what fine Suckers they are of the Riches and Fatnesse of this Commonwealth and how unlikely they were being so pack'd for his Interest and so well seasoned with the Salt of his Palace Ezra 4. 14. to bring forth the so much Prayed Engaged Fought and Bled for Rights and Liberties of the People After some Queries proposed thereupon follows a Catalogue of the Kinglings or the Names of those Seventy persons most of them being the Protectors Kinsmen and Sallary-men that voted for Kingship with the Counties for which they served that so they may be remembred and called to an account hereafter After this there is mentioned how that the Now Government of the Humble Petition and Advice pretended by them to be then settled was carried in the House but by three Voices fifty three against fifty as also that it was contrary to the Desires of the good People of the Nation but not being able at that time to get the Names of those fifty three persons who also highly deserve to be taken notice of they were not therein mentioned You have also those Members of that Assembly who though they gave not their Vote either for King-ship or the then Government by the Humble Petition and Advice but protended to be against and dissatisfied with both sharply and justly reproved for betraying the Trust committed to them by the People First for being so Sneaking and Cowardly in their Spirits as to suffer their Fellow Members to be Secluded from them and the Council who had nothing to do with it so to intrench upon their Priviledges as to let none sit but whom they approved of Secondly For being so ready to comply to Sit or Adjourn at the Protectors pleasure as if they were his Servants and not he theirs Thirdly That when they saw the Liberties of the People endeavoured to be violated afresh by the Kinglings and also really given away by the afore-mentioned fifty three persons who petitioned and advised the Protector so called to take the Government upon him and to chuse his Successour they did not Cry out Protest Declare against and withdraw from them which being their duty they ought to have done in doing whereof those unparallel'd wickednesses would of necessity have fallen to the ground but instead thereof went on with them stifeling their own Consciences and endeavouring to satisfie their oppressed Brethren by saying He had not the Title of King as if all the Evill Oppression and Arbitrarinesse lay in that when as at the same time he hath the same and no lesse power then if he had the Title and were called King Yea a far greater Power then what cost so much Blood and Treasure to oppse in the late King and that these slight Pretences would not be Plea sufficient to excuse them in the day of their Account for so doing After which some general Queries being soberly proposed as a close to the whole is the Conclusion of that Narrative Now here thou wilt finde related some of the most remarkable Passages which occur'd in their second Session with the end and dissolution of the whole after two or three Weeks sitting As also something of another House though Namelesse yet covertly intended for a House of Lords with a Description of forty three

helped to break it and then according to Rev. 11. 10 rejoyced and made merry with the rest of his brethren in Colonel Sydenhams Chamber c. as the Lawyers and other vild persons made Bonfires and drank Sack at the Temple and elsewhere but if ever a spirit of Life from God which is not far off comes in to raise up that honest Spirit by which some of them were acted will not he his brethren and the rest of that earthly rout the false Spirit of Magistracy and Ministry be tormented and afraid He was of the Parliaments since and no doubt of right principles to the Court interest wherein his own is bound up Is one that helps on the bondage in divers great d Committees where he sits and is therefore no question the more fit to be called Lord Roberts and to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people being so greatly experienced in that way already having continued in the aforesaid Committee so long 34. Colonel John Jones a Gentleman of Wales one of the Long Parliament was a Commissioner in Ireland for governing that Nation under the Parliament One of good principles for common Justice and Freedom had he kept them and not fallen into temptation he helped to change the Government and make those Laws of Treason against a single persons Rule hath a considerable Revenue and it 's likely did not lose by his employment he is Governour of the Isle of Anglesey and lately marryed the Protectors Sister a Widdow by which means he might have become a great man indeed did not something stick which he cannot well get down he is not thorough paced for the Court-proceedings nor is his conscience fully hardned against the Good Old Cause but there is great hope no question that in time he may be towardly however for Relation sake he may be counted fit with his Name-sake and Countryman Philip to be called Lord Jones and to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over the people and all his being against such things formerly may be forgiven and not once remembred against him 35. Mr. Edmond Thomas a Gentleman of Wales of considerable means a Friend of Philip Joneses and allyed to Walter Strickland both of the Council and brought in upon their account and of complying principles no question to say no more of him not having been long in play being none of the great Zealots or high Sectaries so called in Wales may doubtless be counted wise and good enough to make a simple Lord of the Other House and to be called Lord Thomas and to have a Negative Voyce over all the good people in Wales with his Countrymen John and Philip and over all the people of these Lands besides 36. Sir Francis Russel Knight Baronet of the old Stamp a Gentleman of Cambridgeshire of a considerable Revenue in the beginning of the Wars was first for the King then for the Parliament and a Colonel of Foot under the Earl of Manchester a man like William Sedgwick high flown but not serious or substantial in his principles he continued in his Command till the new Model then took offence and fell off or laid aside by them no great Zealot for the cause therefore not judged honest serious or wise enough to be of the little Parliament yet was of these latter Paliaments Is also Chamberlain of Chester at about 500 l. per annum he marryed his eldest Daughter to Harry Cromwel second son of the Protector then Colonel of Horse now Lord Deputy so called of Ireland another to Colonel Reynolds a new Knight and General of the English Army in France under Cardinal Mazarine since with e Colonel White and others cast away coming from Mardike there is no question but his principles are for Kingship and the new Court being so greatly concern'd therein wherefore it were great pity if he should not also be taken out of the House to be a Lord of the Other House his Son-in-law being so great a Lord and have a Negative Voyce over Cambridgeshire and all the people of these Lands besides 37. Sir William Strickland Knight of the old Stamp a Gentleman of Yorkshire and brother to Walter Strickland was of the Parliament a long time but hath now it seems forgotten the cause of fighting with and cutting off the late Kings head and suppressing the Lords their House and Negative Voyce He was of these Latter Parliaments and of good compliance no question with the new Court and settling the Protector anew in all those things for which the King was cut off wherefore he is fit no doubt to be taken out of the House and made a Lord the rather for that his younger brother Walter is so great a Lord and by whom in all likelyhood he will be steer'd to use his Negative Voyce in the Other House over Yorkshire and the people of these Lands to the interest of the Court 38. Sir Richard Onsloe Knight of the old Stamp a Gentleman of Surrey of good parts and a considerable Revenue he was of the Long Parliament and with much ado thorough his policy steer'd his course between the two Rocks of King and Parliament weather'd some fore Storms was not his man taken in his company by the Guard in Southwark with Commissions of Array in his Pocket from the King and scurrilous Songs against the Roundheads Yet by his interest rode it out till Colonel Pride came with his Purge then suffer'd loss and came no more in play till about Worcester fight when by the help of some Friends in Parliament he was impowred to raise and lead as Colonel a Regiment of Surry men against the Scots and their King but came too late to fight it being over being popular in Surry he was of the Latter Parliaments is fully for Kingship and was never otherwise and stickled much among the 70 Kinglings to that end and seeing he cannot have young Charles old Oliver will serve his turn so he have one so that he is very fit to be Lord Onsloe and to be taken out of the House to have a Negative Voyce in the Other House over Surry if they please and all the people of these Lands besides whether they please or not 39. Mr. John Fiennes Son of the Lord Say and Brother to Commissioner Fiennes brought in it 's likely for one upon his score is in a kind such a one as they call a Sectary but no great stickler therefore not being redeemed from the fear and favour of man will it is probable follow his brother who is as it is thought much steer'd by old Subtilty his Father that lies in his Den as Thurloe by his Mr. St. Johns and will say No with the rest when any thing opposes the interest of the new Court their power and greatness and may therefore pass for one to be a Lord and to have a Negative Voyce
