drops are which hath faln from his Lips by which he hath charged this Repliant That he can indure no Neighbourhood is plain to all that hears it and that understands the carriage and conversation of this Repliant for many yeers past besides the incredibilitie thereof that this Repliant should be so irregular as not to submit unto Order and Government to which he must have been compelled And denieth that there was ever any such contestation betwixt the said Dunbar or the Hetheringtons and this Repliant as is most falsely pretended by the Respondent But it appears the said Dunbar was his creature whom he so trusted with the keeping of a Castle at the beginning of this Rebellion wherein it is credibly reported the said Dunbar so basely behaved himself as he made his own conditions with the Rebels for himself and his Wife sacrificing above fourscore of Brittish souls to the Rebels cruelty who were all burned to death in an instant As to the Hetheringtons having done that spoil upon this Repliants Tenants and their said Estates and Goods as aforesaid and the said Hetheringtons having lived amongst the Rebels with the said Dunbar for a long time it must needs be that they were Papists as is well known or otherwise they should not have been suffered to have lived amongst them as they did and for such services as they did for the Respondent for which he gives them so great commendations it is onely known unto himself and not believed or understood of any other that knew them formerly nor doth it under favour any wayes excuse the Respondent of his miscarriages of entertaining and making use of them being Papists and Rebels for they were no better and in refusing to bring them unto a Legall tryall when required for such offences which was Treason by the Law of that Kingdom let the Religion be what it will And whereof they were so accused by His Majesties good Subjects and the Respondent being a minister of Justice that upon such complaint ought to have secured their persons untill tryall of the matters objected and if it be a sufficient excuse to free him from the accusation because as he saith no proof of the crime laid against them appeared proved unto him who by his leave was not a competent Judge of himself to determine the facts and offences charged against them And this Repliant cannot forbear to tell him further That besides it was unneighbourly thus to set them free after this intimation against them made from this Repliant So it argueth how little he understood himself and the Office of a Justice that will voluntarily suffer a Prisoner to go at large though but verbally at first accused before he had examined the matter and that they were legally acquited and from all that he hath said in his defence from the guilt of this third Charge informed against him appeareth to be nothing but meer matter of Recrimination and without weight that so he is still unexcusable of the crime objected IV. As to the Respondents Answer to the fourth Charge given in against him by this Repliant This Repliant saith That the Respondent in the preceding parts of his Answer having made shipwrack of a good conscience and not spared the telling of many untruths to serve his own turn casting much dirt in the Repliants face thereby hoping that some will stick and so to imploy this Repliant in washing himself that in the mean time the Respondents foul offences may be forgotten or he escape the hands of Justice for the same have therefore left nothing unattempted which may any wise scandalize this Repliant and bring him into disrepute and disesteem with the Parliament or such as knows him not hoping thereby to work out his own ends the better but that his malice and impudence may the more cleerly appear in his defence to this Charge as in all the rest of his Answers This Repliant further saith That howsoever the Respondent from the relation of others as he conceiveth is pleased to magnifie the said Parck both for his estate and qualities yet those that were his Neighbours for many yeers before this Rebellion broke out and therefore have more reason to know and understand him better then the Respondent are able to say and prove otherwise And that the Respondent onely makes those many flourishes concerning his reputation as an insinuation to win credit that he was an honest man and so to weaken the belief of that which is objected against him and the Respondent concerning him and yet it hath been found true by experience That since this Rebellion began many men who in the time of Peace lived orderly and in good repute and were imployed in Offices and affairs of great concernment concerning that Kingdom yet some such men out of covetous desires to save their Estates and for other by-ends of their own have basely betrayed their Religion and their Countrey and joyned with the Rebels against the Parliament and their Forces there of which sort this Repliant doubteth not but he shall make Master Parck appear to be one and that if this Repliant had not upon intimation of his purposes and resolutions taken and settled to go this way as to secure his person and Castle he had been out in action amongst the thickest of them and so would have done much hurt unto the Protestant party there and without peradventure they are Birds of the same Feather from whom the Respondent hath had his Intelligence to the contrary if they be not meerly fictious and imaginations of his own which the Repliant the rather beleeveth for besides the certain Information which the Repliant had of Parcks resolutions to joyn with the Rebels and of his daily compliance with and intercourse between them he being then ordered by the State to observe this Repliants Commands and to joyn with him in all things against them the said Parck not withstanding had contemned severall times to obey this Repliants Directions and Orders and altogether declined whatsoever service he thought might provoke or prejudice the Rebels and yet this Repliant was so far from desiring the said Parcks Estate which the Respondent hath most falsly and scandalously alleaged as that onely for the King and Parliaments Service put in an Officer of his own to command that Castle of Importance being far from that base condition of coveting other mens Lands having so much by Gods Providence of his own as he had small hopes at that time to our live the danger he was in much lesse to injoy other mens Lands But as it seemeth the Respondent judgeth other men by his own known covetous humour witnesse his barbarous usage of his worthy Neighbour Captain Roger Atkinson whose house and Land lay within a mile to the Respondent which now he holds as his own having in a manner banished the old Gentleman and his Wife whom he grudged a little charitable relief in his house they having many times bountifully
