next day being Sunday the Ministers Preached against them for not reviling and stoning of Him as he passed along When He was taken from the Cart He gave the Hangman gold telling him that was a reward for driving the Cart It was seven a clocke at night before he was entered into the Prison and immediately the Parliament met sent some of their Members and some Ministers to examine Him but He refused
