MY LORD , WE respectively entertain great alacritie in Our joyfull mind , to receive the undoubted fidelitie , which you expressed to Vs in your last Epistle . You may boldly adventure to write unto Vs with freedome , as well as by expresses , the time being come , that you have a Cypher , which I vouchsafe to confer upon you ; I am exceeding joyfull to know , that the humblest , and most faithfull Servant I have in the World is now at Middleborough ; where ( We desire ) you may remain in the privatest way you can , till you receive farther instructions how you may more faithfully serve the King , and Vs in those parts . The King having betaken himself to a safe place , where he doth , and will avow , and protect his Servants from rage , and violence ( for from Iustice you cannot implore it ) you may then live in patience , and joy , having the freedome to wait upon Vs . But he having betaken himselfe to the easiest and complaintest way of accomodation , confirm your confidence , that then you may serve him more by your absence , then by all your industry : and let it be a comfort to you in all calamities , that you may serve Vs by your Actions only , and in no kind by your Sufferings for Our sake : that you may have no measure of misfortune , but happinesse in this World , which you may derive from Our gracious value of your affection , and fidelitie . CANTERBVRY . Feb. 3. 1641. C ◆ R royal blazon or coat of arms THE PARLIAMENTS CENSVRE , TO THE REBELS : LOng have the insolency of the Rebels in Ireland , insulted over the Protestant Partie , tryumphing in their barbarous inhumanity . And as they began to increase in their absurd Cruelties ; so likewise they did corroborate their opposite forces , still daily expecting assistance , and propitious opitulation from forraign Countries . But the all-discovering eye of the Almighty ( which cannot permit disloyalty to sleep in impunity ) did impartially behold the inveterate resolutions of some Rebels . The singularity of Gods omnipotent mercy distended towards England is so miraculous , that we are more bound to praise his propitious Name , then any other Nation under the Clymact●riall Zodiack or collaterall Zenith of the Caelestiall Pole . First , the dexterity of his infinit misericord shown , and apparently declared unto us in diverting the Spanish Armado from us , then in dissipating that Hell nourished Plot of Gunpowder Treason , which alone pretended a prodigious demolition to this Realme , Again , in confounding the assiduous stratagems and conspiracies of the Papists , or at least their Adherents , which privacy of plotting trechery , they have not only hatched , but also pretended against this Kingdom lately . Yet amongst all others his miraculous mercies perfected , and declared unto us , this especially ought not to be forgotten ; for it was neither lesse dangerous , nor trecherous : which I will relate in the subsequent description hereof , and refer ( as our Genius suggest unto us ) a plenary satisfaction in a more perspicuous Declaration . Eighteen of those Rebels being apprehended , and suspected justly to be Confederates with those in Ireland , were according to the Warrant published by the House of Commons , committed to Newgate the 7. of this present Month , and likewise called to the Parliament House before the Committee to answer the Impeachments objected against them , they thus gave their Responsals as followeth . The Examination , and Confession of Captain Butler , before the Committee the said Captain answering for them all . FIrst , they examined him , concerning their Religion ; but he answered without any praetermissive negation , that they were all brought up in the Catholike Faith , and that they moreover resolved themselves never to remove their Faith . Secondly , they questioned him concerning their audacious presumption in daring to appropinquate any Coast in England , without Commission : but he answered , that they were beaten thither by an impetuous wind , and averse Tempest : Moreover , that it was not their least resolution to have stayed there long . Thirdly , he was examined , whither they were going , and to what intent ; he replyed to Ireland , then they demanded of him , whither they were resolved , or intended , either to assist the rebels there , or the Protestants : but he occluded his mouth with silence , and did not answer one word to that interrogatorie ; but we may easily conclude therefrom his meaning , because silence gave consent . Fourthly , they examined him , whither they had no more Confederats , or where they were residing , and the number of them : he then answered , that they expected many more , and if they had not bin interrupted , they conceived credibly they should have seen more concomitants to conjoin with them . With that , the Committee demanded of him again , where these their Confederates were , in what place , and the quantity of them . But to this Proposition he would give no answer , but replyed they knew not , only they expected their conjoinment very suddenly . With that the Comittee seemed to question him no more , but remitted him , and committed him to the custody of the Keeper of Newgate , from whence he came . Then they consulted amongst themselves , what verdict they should give unto them , and concluded unanimouslie , as followeth . The Parliaments Censure to the Rebels . THen they respectively consulted , what they should do with these rebels ; and to what condigne death they should condemn them . The Vote passed twice , that they should be hangd : but afterwards they unitly concluded ; that they should continue in New-Gate awhile till the Sessions , and then they should be hangd and quarterd , and their limbs to be set upon everie Gate , this Vote passed manie times shewing exemplarie punishment to all those , that shall presume to connive at the Rebellion in Ireland , or shall dare to assist them . The Apprehension of 36. more Rebels in Milford-Lane . AFter intelligence was given to some joint Confederats with the Rebels , that 18. were sent to New-Gate , they amongst themselves appointed a meeting in Milford-lane , where they consulted to set the City of London on fire , in Vindication of their Friends ; and taking an Oath amongst themselves to confirm their resolution , credible Information was given to divers Constables , who summoned a strong Watch , and apprehended 36. more of them , who are now committed to safe Custody .
