Petitions succeeding for an accommodation a Cessation followed and soon after that a Parliament which was Summoned by the Advise of this Earle and the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury where the very first thing of Consequence that was done was a Charge of High Treason Exhibited against this Earle by the House of Commons consisting of Twenty Eight Articles whereupon he was Sequestred from sitting as a Peer and soon after committed to the Usher of the Black Rod and so to the Tower His Tryal quickly after ensued which was done with great Solemnity in Westminster-Hall the Earle of Arundal being Lord High Steward The substance of his Articles were That he had Endeavoured to subvert the Fundamental Lawes and Governments of England and Ireland That he had done ill Offices betwixt the King and the Scots and betwixt the King and his Subjects of this Kingdom That he had Advised the King to bring up the Army out of the North and over-awe the Parliament And that he had informed his Majesty that he had an Army of Ten Thousand Men in Ireland ready to be Transported for the same Service His Accusers were Pym St. Johns Whitlock Sir Walter Earles Serjant Glyn Maynard Stroud Mr. Selden Hambden c.
