George Cook and the rest of the Committee of the Army for discovery of Criminal Offendors , in relation to the late Wars ( viz. ) 1 THat the said Evil Member did release three of the Queens Priests , and Jesuits out of Newgate by his Warrant . 2. That the said Evil Member did maintain and protect severall Spies and Agents for the late King within the line of Communication during the late War . 3. That the said Evill Member did convey divers remarkable Prisoners at War , out of the line of Communication , unto the late King . 4. That the said Evil Member did assist , and protect severall Plotters ( on behalf of the late King ) to destroy the Citie of London . 5. That the said Evil Member did wittingly and wilfully suffer above 30000 l. to be conveyed out of the Line of Communication unto the late King . 6. That the said Evil Member did send Horses for War , with Men and Arms , unto the late King . 7. That the said Evil Member did hold an Entercourse of Letters with the late King . 8. That the said Evil Member did maintain and keep an Agent in the Garison of Oxford to expedite the fore-going Treacheries . 9. That the said Evil Member did corrupt many Members of the Parliament ( some lately excluded , some now in the House ) to conceal and smother the foregoing Treacheries . 10. That the said Evil Member did endeavor to take away the lives of several of the prosecutors and witnesses unto the foregoing Treacheries . Motives unto the prosecution of the foregoing Articles , contained in the aforesaid three Letters . 1 THe foregoing Articles are proved upon Oath before Colonel Cook and the said Committee of the Army , and the Depositions are in writing in the hands of Colonel Cook . 2. The said Depositions do declare that whatsoever the said Evil Member hath acted with the Parliament , or Army , hath been meerly out of design . 3. All godly and honest Members of the Parliament and Army would become odious , if by any policie or power the said Evil Member should be protected from a legal Tryal . 4. The Spirit of God hath declared , that because Justice is not speedily executed upon evil doers , therefore their hearts are fully set in them to work mischief , Eccles. 8. 11. and accordingly the said Evil Member ( as it is probable ) doth employ his Agents to make factions and parties to retard the relief of Ireland , and to exasperate the spirits of brethren against each other , that during such divisions his foregoing Treacheries may never be called in question . 5. The speedy Execution of Justice upon the said Evil Member , and such like , would turn away the fierce wrath of the Lord from this Land , as it did from Israel , Prov. 14. 34. Isai. 32. 17. Josh. 7. 24 , 26. Numb. 25. 7 , 8 , 9. 11. Therefore , the foregoing Articles being proved upon Oath , it is not only the duty of Colonel George Cook , the rest of the said Committee , the Officers and Souldiers of the Army , but also of all the Free Common-wealths-men of England upon sight hereof , to joyn together as one man to move his Excellency forthwith to call a general Councel , wherein the said Depositions may be openly read , debated , and transmitted to the Councel of State , for them , thereupon to prepare the form of an Act to be speedily presented and passed , for appointment of Commissioners to bring the said Evil Member , and such others , to exemplary Justice , before the Adjournment , and before any Act for a General Pardon be concluded . PROV. 25. 11. Words spoken in season are like apples of gold in pictures of silver . EPHES. 5. 11. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful Works of Darkness ; but reproove them rather . London , July , 3. 1649. Edward Jenkes .
