<HEAD>A true Relation of the manner how the Pri&s;oners were drawn on a Hurdle on Monday la&s;t the 27th of this in&s;tant January, from the Tower of London, &amp;c.</HEAD>
<P>_WHen Subjects rebel again&s;t their Lawful Soveraign, great are the Omens of their de&s;truction; and an ha&s;ty Sentence once pa&s;t, may be &s;ooner repented then recal|led, as it is clearly demon&s;trated from the ca&s;e of many of tho&s;e Members, who &s;ate in the pretended high Court of Ju&s;tice again our precious and never too much lamented Soveraign King <HI>Char<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">es</HI> the fir&s;t, of ever ble&s;&s;ed Memory; many being un|feignedly &s;orrowful, that ever they had a hand in &s;o wicked, &s;o great, and execrable an Act as to murther &s;o pious vertuous, and loving a King, that &s;o patiently re|ceived Martyrdom at the <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ates of his own Royal Pa|lace rather then he would betray a good Con&s;cience, the Kingdoms peace, or the liberty of his Subjects; and as it is expre&s;t in the Holy writ. <HI>That he that &s;heddeth mans blood, by man &s;hall his blood be &s;hed again</HI> (e&s;pecial|ly
<PB N="4" REF="3">Royal Blood) there being an expre&s;s command, <HI>[Touch not the Lords Anointed] &amp;c.</HI> But how contra|ry to this many have gone, let the World judge. Some have already drank of the bitter Cup of Death for their Di&s;obedience and Rebellion, others are like to ta&s;te of the Dregs; but thrice happy are they who &s;hall walk holy, and in all reverend obedience <HI>fear God and honour the King:</HI> But &s;ome Zealots of the <HI>Zuingli|an faction,</HI> &s;preading their woful Schi&s;ms throughout the&s;e <HI>Britti&s;h I&s;lands,</HI> many loyal Subjects paid Death for it, who&s;e Blood was poured forth like Water in mo&s;t parts of the Kingdom, but no where more aboun|dant then at <HI>Cromwels-&s;laughter-hou&s;e,</HI> in, and about the City of <HI>London.</HI> And ob&s;erve, the &s;tones that they ca&s;t at others fell upon their own heads, for &s;everal changes and mutations hapned, in &s;omuch that there was a mo&s;t miraculous deliverance from the hands of U&s;urpers, by a providential re&s;toring of our dread Soveraign Lord King <HI>Charles</HI> the &s;econd, and the bringing of His Maje&s;ties grand Enemies to the Bar of Ju&s;tice, and o|thers to publick &s;hame and di&s;grace; among&s;t whom the Lord <HI>Moun&s;on,</HI> Sir <HI>Henry Mildmay,</HI> and Mr. <HI>Robert Wallop,</HI> being all Members of Parliament for con&s;titu|ting of that mo&s;t unju&s;t, illegal, and pretended High Court of Ju&s;tice; and although they were not pre|&s;ent at the Sentence of the Kings death, yet they were A bettors thereunto; but through the tender mercy of King and Parliament being not immediate, they were excepted for life, and to receive reward according to their merits; which was by the High and Honourable Court of Parliament to be &s;ecured and kept in &s;afe cu|&s;tody, and on the 27th of <HI>January</HI> to be drawn upon a
<PB N="5" REF="3">Sledge from the Tower of <HI>London</HI> to <HI>Tiburn,</HI> there to be degraded and deve&s;ted from all their Titles of Ho|nour, which accordingly was put in execution on Mon|day la&s;t, but Sir <HI>James Harrington</HI> having made his e|&s;cape prevented that which otherwi&s;e had been deter|mined for him.</P>
<P>But before we proceed to particulars, ob&s;erve this by the way, That as for <HI>Mildmay,</HI> he was rai&s;ed and prefered by his Maje&s;ty; the King not onely ordering him to be his Jeweller, but preferred him to other pla|ces of profit, and was in high Tru&s;t as well as in great Gain; And becau&s;e, as the Proverb goeth, Much would have more, his Covetou&s;ne&s;s, egged forward by his Ambition to be Great, &s;natching at more then was ju&s;t, laid him open to lo&s;e what was due, and to be de|prived of his place that formerly was &s;o good. Then he, like the unju&s;t Steward &s;poken of in the Go&s;pel, withal alluding to Mr. <HI>Pym,</HI> that grand enemy again&s;t Monarchy, took unju&s;ter cour&s;es again&s;t his Royal Ma&s;ter; for he not onely advi&s;ed with him&s;elf to de|&s;troy his M<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">je&s;ty and to deceive him gaining Riches to him&s;elf, as his fal&s;e Steward that Chri&s;t &s;pea<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">s of, had had &s;hewed him the way before; but as After-ages grew more &s;ubtle, &s;o they became more wicked then the former times; even &s;o this unju&s;t and unthankful Servant became more wicked then before; for &s;uch hatred and malice did he lay up again&s;t his Lord and Ma&s;ter the King, that he &s;ealed it in the depth of his heart, wherein the &s;ame boiled like New Wine that wanted vent; &s;o that it was like Meat and Drink to an hungry Stomack, or thir&s;ty Soul, for him to find any
<PB N="6" REF="4">opportunity to broach the &s;ame, and was again&s;t all Conce&s;sions of peace with the King; for when the <HI>E&s;&s;ex</HI> Petition for a per&s;onal Treaty with the King [during His Maje&s;ties confinement in the <HI>I&s;le</HI> of <HI>Wight</HI>] was publi&s;hed in <HI>London,</HI> the Printer was &s;ent for by a Pur&s;ivant, and being carried before a Committee where this <HI>Judas Mildmay</HI> was Chairman he u&s;ed the&s;e words: Sirrah&punc; &s;irrah, How dare you Print or Pub|li&s;h &s;uch wicked Papers as the&s;e, for a per&s;onal Treaty with him whom we have conquered. To which the Printer replied, That to his apprehen&s;ion and judge|ment there was nothing therein contained but what was ju&s;t and lawful; whereupon he was committed: But to the deportment of this precious Jeweller and the re&s;t, upon the Sledge and at <HI>Tiburn,</HI> this is very re|markable; That,</P>
<P>On Munday being the 27 of January, (and the day that our late Gracious Lord and Sove|reign King Charles, received that mo&s;t horrid excrable, and dete&s;table Sentence,) the afore|&s;aid William Lord Moun&s;on Sir Henry Mild|may, Robert Wallop E&s;quire, were drawn from the Tower of London, on three &s;everal &s;ledges, with Ropes about their Necks, to Tyburn, be|ing guarded by the Sheriffs Officers, &amp;c. The fir&s;t was the Lord Moun&s;on, who lay along in the &s;ledge, and &s;eemed very much dejected, having almo&s;t the Picture of Death in his face; The &s;econd was Sir Henry Mildmay, who lay
<PB N="7" REF="4">as it were crooked on the &s;ledge, in a long Gown; And the third was Mr. Wallop, who likewi&s;e lay in the &s;ame po&s;ture. But when they came to Tyburn, after &s;ome Di&s;cour&s;e be|twixt the Wor&s;hipful Sheriffs, and the Pri&s;o|ners, in order to the Effect and Cau&s;es of their being brought to that Place, with &s;o great and de&s;erved Reproach and Ignominy: To which the Lord Moun&s;on deelared, That what he had done, he was &s;orry from his very Soul, and had he ten thou&s;and lives he would facri|fice them all for the King. The like regret of Spirit were upon the other two, who when they came near to the Gallows, &s;haked their heads, and &s;aid, It was but ju&s;t, their &s;ins had de&s;erved it. And all three Sledges being drawn under the Gallows, they were afterwards guar|ded back to the Tower.</P>
