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. But the Earle defended himself so Bravely and Learnedly that the Lords Conscious of his Innocency would not find the Bill Wherefore the Commons seeing they could not speed that way drew up a Bill of Attainder and presented it to the Lords declaring the matter of Fact to have been sufficiently proved and that as to Law he had incurred the Censure of Treason But the Lords adjudged this a strange way of Proceeding unsutable to their own Safety and against Common Justice Whereupon the Londoners came down in Tumults stopped the Lords Coaches menacing to post up the Names of those who favoured him under the Title of Straffordians and with an impetuous Cry of Justice frighted many of the Peers to assent to the Bill so hard a task had his Blood-thirsty Enemies to bereave him of his Life which yet notwithstanding passed but by the plurality of Seven Voices against him But the hardest matter was to get the Kings assent who very much declined it and in a set Speech cleared the Earle from any design of Treason or consulting to any Arbitrary Government But being over-perswaded by the dangers that were represented as inevitable consequents of his refusal but principally being desired by the Earle himself to satisfie the Parliament though with his own blood His Majesty after Advise with the Bishops signed that Fatal Bill which afterwards proved the Axe against his own Life Thus fell this Noble Earle being one of the Chief Pillars and Basis of this Nation without whose Ruine the Grandees of the Faction knew it a hard matter to Effect or Accomplish any thing such an Absolute Rare Honest and Loyal Master-Piece of Reason and Prudence as this present Age saw not and well will it be for the next if it may compare and parallel him He was Beheaded May 12. 1641. being the Pro-to-Martyr of the Late Times II and III.
