<P>The Court being &s;ate, called three Pri&s;oners to the Bar,
<HI>viz.</HI> Sir <HI>Hardre&s;s Waller,</HI> Col. <HI>Harri&s;on, William H<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="under-inked" EXTENT="1 letter">venning|ham.</HI>
The fir&s;t was Sir <HI>Hardre&s;s Waller,</HI> which with the two
others were indicted to this purpo&s;e following:</P>
<P>That they together with <HI>Oliver Cromwel, Henry Ireton,
Robert Titchbourn, I&s;aac Pennington, Robert Lilburn, John
Hew&s;on</HI> late of the City of <HI>We&s;tmin&s;ter</HI> Shoo-maker, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> had
Wilfully, Maliciou&s;ly, and Traterou&s;ly, Advi&s;ed, Abet|ted,

Our late Dread Soveraign <HI>CHARLES</HI> the Fir&s;t, by the
Grace of God of ever ble&s;&s;ed Memory, King of England,
Scotland, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith,
<HI>&amp;c.</HI></P>
<P>Sir <HI>Hardre&s;s Waller</HI> began to excu&s;e his long being out of
England, and unacquaintance with Engli&s;h affairs; But
eing bid to an&s;wer po&s;itively, whether he was Guilty or
not Guilty of the High Trea&s;on whereof he had been indi|cted,
and then Arraigned, an&s;wered, Guilty.</P>
<P>The next was Col. <HI>Thomas Hari&s;on,</HI> who at the fir&s;t re|fu&s;ed
to hold up his Hand, till the Lord Chief <HI>Baron,</HI> Judge
<PB N="3" REF="3">
<HI>For&s;ter,</HI> and other Judges told him his duty in that particu|lar:
After which, he &s;aid, I confe&s;s it is but a Formality,
and therefore I will do it; and &s;o held up his Hand: Bu<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="blotted" EXTENT="1 letter">
&s;everal times offered to &s;ally out into Di&s;cour&s;es, refu&s;ing
to an&s;wer Guilty or not Guilty, till the Judges declared
the nece&s;&s;ity of an&s;w<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="blotted" EXTENT="1 letter">ring one of the two, which they were
forced to do divers times before he would be brought to
give an An&s;wer, but at la&s;t he did, and &s;aid, Not Guilty.</P>
<P><HI>William Heveningham</HI> an&s;wered the like; but Col. <HI>George
Fleetwood</HI> pleaded Guilty without any demur.</P>
<P>The&s;e being di&s;mi&s;t, <HI>I&s;aac Pennington, Henry Marten,
Gilbert Millington, Robert Titchbourn, Owen Roe, Robert
Lilbourn,</HI> were called to the Bar. <HI>I&s;aac Penningtons</HI> Age
gave him not time to make long Apologies, for he very &s;ud|denly
an&s;wered not Guilty; &s;o did <HI>Gilbert Millington,</HI> and
<HI>Owen Roe.</HI></P>
<P><HI>Henry Marten</HI> being the next began to Quibble with the
Court, and to deny his name to be mentioned in the Act;
whereupon the Court were put to the trouble of calling for
the Act of Oblivion, and there read his name; but he an|&s;wered,
that his name was <HI>Marten</HI> not <HI>Martin,</HI> as in the Act
expre&s;&s;ed. But being told they knew him to be the Man, let
his name be what it would, was bid to an&s;wer, who then
&s;aid, not Guilty.</P>
<P><HI>Titchbourn</HI> being next, began to excu&s;e his want of &s;kill
in Law affairs; pleading, that he was before very Wi&s;e, Lear|ned,
and Judicious Lawyers, and that being unable to plead
for him&s;elf, de&s;ired the Court to a&s;sign him Councel to a&s;|&s;i&s;t
him therein: To which it was an&s;wered, that he was not
yet come to his Tryal, but onely Arraigned; and a&s;ked him
Guilty or not Guilty? to which he could not tell what to
an&s;wer; He &s;aid he did acknowledge part of the Indictment.
But being told he mu&s;t &s;ay Guilty or not; an&s;wered, not
Guilty. So did <HI>Lilburn</HI> and all the re&s;t.</P>
<P><PB N="4" REF="4">
Col. Daniel Axtel de&s;ired he might have the li|berty
of an Engli&s;h-man, that the Law was his
Birth right, and &s;o he might lawfully claim it, That
he did conceive there was Law in his Ca&s;e, and &s;o
de&s;ired to have Councel in it, That he did believe
the Parliament&mdash;But there he was bid to plead
to the Indictment, Guilty or not Guilty; which af|ter
much roving, and being told the danger of &s;tan|dtng
Mute, he an&s;wered, Why then, not Guilty. And
being asked by whom he would be tryed he did not
an&s;wer; at which one bid him an&s;wer, By God
and his Countrey. But he an&s;wered, he could not do
&s;o; For he did not believe God to be there. In con|clu&s;ion,
he &s;aid, He would be tryed by the Lord
Ie&s;us Chri&s;t, and by his Countrey,</P>
<P>Hugh Peters being asked whether he was guilty
of the High Trea&s;on whereof he was Indicted, he
lifted up his hands and eyes, and &s;aid; Guilty? No
not for ten thou&s;and Worlds.</P>

heard thereof&punc; it could not but make both his Ears
to tingle, his heart to faint, and his knees to tremble.
O it was we that in a tumultuous and di&s;loyal way
made Covenants to oppo&s;e the King, and counte|nance
that Empo&s;tre&s;s Maiden who (pretending to
Enthu&s;ia&s;mes) per&s;waded the People to Rebellion,
and bla&s;phemed Chri&s;t by the name of Covenanting
Ie&s;us. It was We that was the Cau&s;e of the late
execrable Mi&s;eries throughout the three Kingdoms;

when Inqui&s;ition is made for blood, and the cry of

&s;hrunk&punc; and every faithful Soul thrill'd at the horror
of that fatal blow, which at one &s;troak murdered
not onely one Prince, but three Kings in one, the
be&s;t of men, and three Kingdoms, the mo&s;t flouri&s;h|ing
of all People, and in them the mo&s;t Royal Blood
of Imperial Maje&s;ty, the pure&s;t of all Religions, the
ju&s;te&s;t of all Laws, the wi&s;e&s;t Con&s;titution of all
Governments, and (had we known our own hap|pine&s;s)
<PB N="6" REF="5" MS="y">
the happie&s;t of all people? What Tongue
of Men or Angels can &s;ufficiently expre&s;s the dete|&s;tation
of that bloody fact that &s;eparated the be&s;t of
heads from &s;o lovely a body? The be&s;t of Kings
from his mo&s;t Loyal Subjects? The be&s;t of Hu&s;|bands
from a mo&s;t affectionate Wife? The be&s;t of
Fathers from mo&s;t &s;weet and dutiful Children? And
the be&s;t of Ma&s;ters from Thou&s;ands of mo&s;t hap|py
Servants. In a word, the horridne&s;s of that tran|&s;cendent
impiety was &s;uch, that (next to the mur|dering
of our mo&s;t ble&s;&s;ed Saviour) it was the mo&s;t
accur&s;ed act that ever yet was perpetrated upon the
face of the Earth.</P>
<P>On Thur&s;day Major General <HI>Harri&s;on</HI> was again brought
to the Bar, and pleading to his Indictment, after &s;ome time
&s;pent thereupon, he was brought in Guilty, and received
Sentence to be Drawn, Hanged, and Quartered; Upon
pronouncing whereof, he &s;aid, The Lords Will be done,
