his own friends have credibly told me.

‘> 2. Formatter of Liberty 2 The King or any Conrtier {ends a
man to Prifon, ifthe Judge fet him at liberty, then put him out
ofhis place,a temptation too heavy for thofie that love Money and
Honor more then God, to bear ; therefore‘ any judgement that
is given betweenthe King and a Subjerfl, ’tis not worth a rulhfoe
what will not money do ? A ,

Nexthe challenges a Prerogative to enhance and debafe mo-
neys, which by Law was allowed him, 11) far as to ballance Trade,
and no further ; that if gold went high beyond Sea, it might not
be cheap here, to have it all bought n p and tranfported : but under

colour of that, he challenges a Prerogative, that the king may by -

Proclamation make Leather currant, or make a Six pence go for
Twenty (billings, or a Twenty fliillings for Six pence : which not
to mention any thing of the project of Farthings or Brafs money,
He that challenges fnch a Prerogative, isa potential Tyrant ; foa-

- if heernaymaltet my Twelve pencein my pocket worthbnt Two

pence, what property hath any man in any thing that he en...
joys P A i
Another Prerogative pretended was, That the king may avoid
any Grant, and for may coufen and cheat any man by a Law; the
ground whereof is, That the kings Grants {hall be taken accord-
ing tohis intention, which in a fober fence} wilh, that all mens
Grants might be {'0 confirmed according to their intentions, ex-
prefi by word or writing;but by this means it being hard to know
whattirelring intended, his Grants have been like the Devils Ora-
cles, taken in any contrary fence for his own advantage.

the Crownybut he refervetl” onelfiiartinghole or other, and knew 

hyowto avoiclit, and fo meerly to coufen and defraudlthe poor
Patentee.So that now put all thefe Prerogatives together: 1:.’ The s
Militia by Sea and Land. 2. A liberty to call Parliaments when

he pleafed", and to adjourn, prorogue or cliffolve them at pleafure.
3. A Negative voice, that the people cannot fave themfclves
without him, and mull cut theirovvn throats, if commancledlyfo to
do. 4. The nomination and‘ making of all the Judges, that upon
peril or the lofs of their places, rnuft declare the Law to be as he
pleafes. 3'. A power to confer Honors upon whom, and how he
plea its : A covetous bafe wretch For Five or Ten thoufand pounds

to be Courtecl, who deferves to be carted. 6. To pardon» Mara

thlerers; whom the‘l'.orcllays {hall not be pa;rclon“etl..7. To an a

and if to receive folmuch, 21 Twenty {billings to parts for Five i"hil-

iirlgs; And lallcly, at Legal theft to avoid his {own Grants: I may A

boldly throw the Garrtlet, and challenge all the Machiavels in the
worlytl, to invent fueh an exquilite platform of Tyrarmical Do»
miuation, and fuch a perfeét Tyranny without maim or blemiflj,
as this is, and that by a Law, which is worlieof all. But the truth
is, thefe are no Legal Prerogatives , but Ufurpatiolns, In~croach-
merits and Invafioils upon the Peoples Rights and Liberties, and
tl1is.yeafily’efi'eeied without any greatdepth of policy ; for ‘tile but
being fare to call no Parliaments, or make them ufelels, and make
the juclgets p-laces profitable,,and place Avarice upon the Bench,a~rzd
no doubt but the Law lhallllfoundy as the l£iDgW‘0L'lid have it : But
let me thus far atisfie the ingenuous Reader, that allethei Judges
in Eizgiawl‘ cannot make one Cafe to be Law that is not Ffeafon,

the malice, the Law implies that ; as when a thief fets upon a man

but it is an itnplyed malice, that he will kill the people unle-is they

I confefs‘ that for many years Iwasof that Opinion ,pfand
thoughttthat the King;was feduced by revilpConncel, and fome
thought that ‘Bur-1;z'ngham and others ruled  as sea childe, and
aura do what they lili: but certainly he was too politique and
fubtile a man to be fwayed by any thing buthis own judgement ;
finer: Nafeby Lettersl ever thought him principal in all Tranfar.‘ii~
ongiofstatei and thewifefi about him but acceflaries ; ‘ he never
afted by any irn plicite faith in Statematters,the prjoudefl ofthem
all durit never crofs him in any Defign, when he had once refolved
upon it:Is any manfo foft-brained to think that the Duke or Pen-
nington durii betray Roe‘/gel without his Command? would not
he have hanged them up at their return, if they had wilfully
tranfgre-flied his Commands? A thoufand fuch excufes made for
him, are but like Irifh Cgiagmires, that have no folid ground or

‘foundation inreafon; He was “well Known to be a great Sudent

in his yonger days_._that his Path er would fay,i-ie muft make him a

Biihop : He had more learning and dexterity in State Affairs un- I

doubnidly, then all the kings in Chrifipendom ; If he had had
grace anfwerable to his firongparts,he had been another Salomm,
but his wit and knowledge proved like a a {word in l a mad-mans
hand ; he was a firanger to the work of Grace and the Spirit of

God, asthe poor creature confeii to Mr. 1:" ma rub after he was a

condemned ; and all thofe Maeanders in State, his ferpentine turn-
ings and windings,have but brought him to iharne and confufion 5
but I am fully fatisfied, none of his Councel durfl ever advife him
to any thing,but what they knew before he refolved to have done;
andthat they durfi as well take a Bear by the tooth, as do,or con--

i {ent to thedoing of any thing, but what they knew would pleafe
him ; they did but hew andfquare the timber, he was the Malier

builder, that gave the form to every Architeflure, and being fo
able and judicious to drfcern of every mans merits. Never think

 A that -the Duke or Pemzirggtozg or any Iudge or Officer, did ever

any th-ingtfor his advantage without his command, againfi Law
or‘e-Honour. i ‘ y l r V

fi1zt,nl}t Lortl,beforeI pray judgement, I humbly crave leave to
1" peal; toatwo particulars, 1. Concerning the Prifoner : When I
eqnfider what he was,and how many prayers havebeen made for
him, though Iltnow that all the world cannot rellore him, nor
fave his life, becaufe God will not forgive his temporal punilh-
ment, yet if God in him will be pleated to adde one example
more to the Church,of his unchangeable love to his eleélt in Chrifi,
not knowing but that he may belongto the elefiioneof grace; I

\ am troubled in my fpirit, in regard of his eternal C0nClltlQH,.»~f0r~ 
 fear that he fhoulddepart this life, without love and reconcilliatia t

on to all thoie Saintswhom he hath feotned under the onotion“ of i

Presbyterians,Anabaptifis, Independents and Seélairiels‘: It.canno!t
be denyed, butthat he hath {pent all his days in ulnmeafurable
A '   pride;

‘ I 4'1. J 4

pride githatidutintg his whole reign, he hath deported hxmlelt as” A

3Go*d , been depended upon,‘ and adored as*God; that hath
challenged and affured an Omnipotent power, an earthly Omni-
ipiotence, that with the breath of his mouth hath diflolved Parlia-
Imentsghis .’.’\(g:z pleeet hath made all the Conncelsof that Supreme

 Court tobecome Abortives : Noamra hath been his Motto, who

in {lead of being honored as good Kings ought to be , and no
‘tnore,~hath been idolized and adored, as our good God onely

i ought to be ; Aman that hath {hot all his arrows againfitheup-.

trgghtinsthe Land, hated Chrift in his members, fwallowed down
lunzriighteoufnelis, as the 05:: drinks water, eiieemed the needy as
his footliool, crufht honeli "pnhliqne fpiritecl men , and grieved
when he could not afflict the honefia more then he did, count-
t ed it theiheli art and policy to fupprefs the righteous, and to give

’ way to his Conrtiers fo to gripe, grinde, opprels and overreach

the-_free People of the Land, thathe might do_what he lilt
(the remembrance whereof would p1€fCCh1SfOLli, if he knew the

precioufnelhe of it) but all fins to an infinite mercy are equally

pardonable , therefore my prayer for this poor wretch {hall he,

s wThactGocl would fo give him repentance to life, that he may be-

xeeve in that Chrifi, whom he hath irnprifoned, perfecnted and
mnrtheredo in the Saints ;,i that he which hath lived a T5 rant, and
hated nothingfo tnnch~as holinefle, may die a COm't‘tt, and in love

2. Concerning my felt‘, I bear no more malice to the Mans
perfon, then I do to my dear Father i; but I hate that curlbd prin-
ciple of Tyranny, lthathathfo long lodged and harbored within
Him, which hath turnedour waters of Law into blood;And .there--

' fore upon that Malignant principle, Ihope this}-Iigh Court

{which is an habitation ofJufiice,and a Royal Palace of principles
of Freedom ) will do fpeedy Jnllice, That this Lyon which hath
devoured fo many Sheep, may not onely be removed out of the
way, but that this Iron S‘cepter,whichl1ath been lifted up tobreak
thispoor Nation in » pieces like a Potters veflel, may be wrefied
out of the hands of Tyrants , That my honorable Clients (for
whom I am an.unworthy Advocate) The people of England, may
not onely talle, but drink abundantly of thofc fweet Waters of

’ thatWcll ofLiberty,which this renowned Army hath digg’d with 

their fwords,which was fioptby thePhilif’tines_.,l the fierce Jew,
and uncircumcifed Canaanlite, the hopes whereofmade nae readily
tohearlten to the call to this fervice, asliifiit had been immediately
from Heaven, being fully fatisfied, That the prifoner was long
fince condemned to dyelby Gods Law (Which being more Noble,
and ancient then any Law of man_.,if there had been a Statute that

he fhould not dye, yet he ought to be put to death notwith{’cand-  

 V‘ log) and that this HighCourt was but to pronounce the Sentence l

and jrldgmcnt Written againfi him-.And though Imight have been
lnificiently difcouraged, in refpeéir that my reafon is far lel"3 then

things defireable,to make a dumb man eloquent, namely, A good

Heaven, and the fecond juliice upon Earth ; And thinking that

happily God might make Life of one mean man at the Banamongll
other learned Counfel, that more of his minde might appear in it

(for many times the lefs there is of man, the more Gods glory
does appear, and hitherto very much of the minde of God hath
appeared in thisafirion) I went as chearfully about it,as to a Wed-
ding; And that the glory of this adminifiration may be wholly
given to God, I defire to obferve to the praife of his great name,
the work of God upon my own fpirit, in his gracious aliiltance
and prefence with me, as a return of Prayer, and fruit of Faith,
believing that God never calls to the aéling of any thing fo plea»
fing to him, as this molt excellent Court of jnllice is, but he is
prefént with the honorable _Iudges,and thofe that wait upon them;
I have been fomerimes of Counfel againPtFelons.and Prifoners,
but I never moved the Court to proceed to Judgement agyainfl any
Felon, orto keep any man in Prifon, but I trembled at it in my

1 thoughts, as thinkingjt vvouldbe ealier to give an account. of ITICK-.

but now my fpirits are quite of another teem pet, and I hopeit is
