<HEAD>THE TAKING OF <HI>DOCTER BAST|WICK</HI> by the Cavaleers, and how wicked|ly he was handled by them.</HEAD>
<P>_JT happend, (ill hap indeed) that Docter <HI>Ba&s;iwick,</HI> loa&s;t he &s;hould &s;urfeit with his revived comforts was brought to a game of hard fortune, For, he, having and over ruling de&s;ire to aire him&s;elfe in the Country; in <HI>LEISTER</HI> there to ta&s;t of quietne&s;&s;e <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 word"> &s;weat meat of fortune: was followed at the heeles by his former jalour, per&s;ecution; After he had re&s;ted their a while, his delight was equalled for the Parliaments de&s;ires, in exerci&s;ing the <HI>MILITIA,</HI> wherin was depictured the active perfection of a &s;ouldier, as al&s;o the pa&s;&s;ive loy|alty of a Subject; and had come of to his credit but that he was &s;urpri&s;ed by the Cavaleeres, to their

<PB N="7" REF="4"> &s;hame. Who either (envighed his Honour or his Action,) &s;uddainly would have the Souldiers of their owne Ranke, that is in di&s;|order, and that well experienced Docter rather Chri&s;tian, &s;uffered under the tyrany of which he had Death, had not our &s;ouraigne. Let fly a mercifull warning peece, &s;o to deter them that they &s;hould not write Characters in his bloud, though indeed they would faine haue&punc; perhaps have read an Anotomy Lecture over his carca&s;e.</P>
<P>For words and blowes &s;troue which &s;hould be formo&s;t, their bu&s;y tongues tore his name, theire hands, his garments, him they Hectored and dragd along &s;oe inhumanely that he might be iudged to mea&s;ur his graue upon the ground whom &s;ence they dur&s;t not depriue of life, they depriud of liberty, and Ca&s;t in Leister Iaile where he as yet remanes;</P>
