<P>THat He was much di&s;&s;atisfied with the Armies proceedings, in Impri&s;oning divers Members of Parliament, in the year, 1648.</P>
<P>That he went down &s;oon after to his own hou&s;e, 80 miles di&s;tant from <HI>London,</HI> and came not up again untill he was &s;ummoned &s;everal times, under pain of Seque&s;tration and Expul&s;ion, and did not come up untill the day before that horrid &s;entence was given a|gain&s;t the King, and then knew not what it was that he was command|ed to come up for.</P>
<P>That he was none of the Contrivers, or Law-makers, for &s;etting up that Unwarrantable Court, for Tryal of the King, but was ab&s;ent all the while.</P>
<P>That he never knew him&s;elf to be one of that Court, untill his name was called, at which he was amazed.</P>
<P>That he was trapan'd by <HI>Cromwell</HI> and <HI>Ireton</HI> to come out of the Hou&s;e, and then forced by them into the Court, and when the King de&s;ired to be heard by his Lords and Commons in the Pain|ted-Chamber, He, with &s;ome others de&s;ired he might be heard, which cau&s;ed the Court to withdraw into the Court of Wards; then <HI>Cromwel</HI> rebuked tho&s;e that were the occa&s;ion of it with many reproa|ches, which made all men &s;ilent, &s;eeing it was to no purpo&s;e to &s;peak, whereupon he returned no more into the Court, but &s;tayed behind in the Croud.</P>
<P>That he &s;igned not the warrant for Execution, nor any writing tend|ing thereunto until after that horrid fact was committed, but &s;ome time after was forced by <HI>Cromwel</HI> to &s;ign a writing with others (not knowing what was contained in it) &s;aying we &s;hould not &s;lip out &s;o, and from that time to his death, he looked upon him with an evil eye. That he never bought any of the Kings Lands or Goods, only a finall Fee-Farm rent that he paid out of his own Lands.</P>
<P>That he was put out of all Authority by <HI>Cromwel,</HI> for a&s;&s;i&s;ting the Kings Friends, in helping them to their ju&s;t dues, and being &s;erviceable to them.</P>
<P>That he was a great Sufferer under <HI>Cromwel,</HI> for oppo&s;ing his Tyranny.</P>
<P>That he nearly e&s;caped Decimation, for offering him&s;elf to be bound for &s;ome of his Countrymen, that were Decimated.</P>
<P>That he would not &s;uffer any of the Kings Friends to be Impri&s;oned, or their hou&s;es &s;earched, in the year 1659. when he was in power.</P>
<P>That he never took the Oath of Abjuration again&s;t his now Maje&s;ty, but alwaies oppo&s;ed it in his Station, and glad he was at the re&s;tauration of his Maje&s;ty.</P>
<P>That he came in upon the Proclamation.</P>
