The Humble Petition of the Inhabitants of LAMBETH . Presented February 20. 1642. Sheweth , THat ever since Captaine Andrewes Company under the Command of Colonell Manwayring , came to Lambeth-house , they have carried themselves very insolently , by threatning speeches ; break●ng the Church windowes , and terrifying the Officers of the Church , that they were constrained to ●hut up the Church doores , and hindring the Minister in the buriall of the Dead : And upon the last ●ords day , 4. or 5. of them came into the Church in an unreverent manner , with their Hatts on their heades , and saying to the Parrishioners make hast to your Porrage , And one Edward Iones , an Inhabitant of the saide Towne ( having the Lord Generalls Coullours there about him ) being in the Church , one of them asked him , why he stood there to heare that fellow ( meaning the Mini●ter ) stand babling there in the whores smocke : Thereupon the said Iones answered , that by the grace of God , he would stand there ( it being in the time of Divine Service ) and heare it , and if they did not like it , they may get them forth ; And thereupon they prest upon him with their Swords drawne in the Church , and said that if he would not help them to fetch him out ( meaning the Minister ) they would fetch him and the Minister out by the eares : And thereupon Iones endeavoured to thrust them out of the Church , whereupon they did fetch more Company , and fell upon him and wounded him cruelly in the Church-Yard , and one of them called to his fellowes asking them , why do you stand with your Swords , saying that they had better weapons , and thereupon they rann and fetched their Muskets , and shot one Thomas Coe a Servant quiet dead ( in the Church-yard ) And one of their Officers cryed out Shoot , shoot whereupon another Souldier shot Iones quite through the thigh , who is since dead . And they having laded a great peece of Ordnance , with scattering shot , and put the mouth of it out of the gate , intending to discharge it at a great multitude of the Inhabitants , which would have destroyed Men , Woman , and Children , in great abundance , if it had not beene prevented by the Suckler , who staid the Gunners hand from giving fire . And Doctor Laytons wife ( her Husband being house keeper ) hearing that one of the Inhabitants was killed ; and another hurt , said it was no matter if five Hundred more were slaine ; And the night before , Doctor Laytons man threatned our Pastor Docter Featly , and said publickely that if he came to dispence the word on the morrow ( being the Lords day ) he were best to come featly indeed . Whereas it is objected that some of the Parishioners of Lambeth should first abuse the Souldiers . It is Humbly certified that Captaine Temple and his Troope lying billetted at Lambeth , There was a falling out betwixt them and the Red-coates , and they called the Troopers Parliament Rogues , and that they did ride about to cheate the Country . And this is testified by David Hughes , Robert Dolley , Iane Game , Alice Trevitt , Dorothie Peirce , with others . They therefore Humbly pray your Honours to take their great sufferings into your serious Consideration , and to afford them speedy releife , they being in great and hourely danger of the●r lives , their Wives and Children ; And that the said Company may be forthwith removed and the man-slayers responsable to such Legall Tryalls , As your Honours shall thinke fitt . For which they shall ever Pray for your Honours happie Proceedings . The Answer of the LORDS to the said Petition . Tuesday February , 21. 1642. VPon the reading of the said Petition the Earle of Manchester presently returned this Answere from the Lords , Comanding them to enquire the names of the man slayers , and that being done ▪ they granted A warrant for the apprehending of the party that kil'd the man , & to Commit him to Prison , the Chirurgion coming there and certifiing the Lords , that the other party wounded was not likely to liue , they Granted a second warrant to apprehend him that wounded him , who is now in custody in the messengers hand and to be Comitted to the gaole , ( in regard the party wounded is since dead ) and the Law to proceed against them . Likewise they have granted A warrant for the remooving of Captaine Andrewes and his Company , which was done forthwith , and another to be placed there in his stead , according to the desires of the Petitioners .
