THE sum OF THE Charge Given in by Lieutenant general Crumwel, Against the Earl of MANCHESTER.  
THAT he the Earl of MANCHESTER, hath always been indisposed, and backward to engagements. And against the ending of the war by the sword; And for such a peace to which a Victory would be a disadvantage; and this declared by principles expressed to that purpose: And a continued series of carriages answerable. And since the taking of York, (as if the Parliament had now advantage full enough) He hath declined what ever tended to futther advantage upon the Enemy; neglected and Studiously shifted off all opportunities to that purpose, as if he thought the King to low, and the Parliament to high, especially at Dennington Castle. He hath drawn the Army too, and detained them in such a posture, as to give the Enemy fresh advantages; and this before his conjunction with other Armies, by his own absolute will, against, or without▪ his council, against many Commands from the Committee of both kingdom; and with contempt, & vilifying of the Commands. And since the conjunction, sometimes against counsels of war, and sometimes persuading, and deluding the council, to neglect one opprotunity, with another, and that again with a third, and at last when no other pretence would serve; by persuading that it was not fit to fight at all.  
After this expect a larger, and yet nothing but truth, and what is sufficiently proved, at a select Committee, of the House of Commons, whereof Mr. lisle had the chair, with charge, with the proofs thereupon; was reported to the House, and there debated, and a home Vote thereupon passed; above a year ago, before the House was recruited with new Members; Whereupon a potent Northern Knight, one of manchester's special friends &c. Made a very earnest motion that Lieu. Gen. Crumwell might with his horse be sent immediately to relieve Taunton, as you may read in the 35. page of England's BIRTHRIGHT; by means of which the Charge hath lain dormant ever since, although it may be spoken upon very good grounds, that it is a charge of as high a nature as ever was given into that House, and therefore it is hoped that either Lieu. general, or some of the honest new Members, will discharge a good conscience, by pressing the reviving of it, that so Treachery may receive, its due desert, and the kingdom have justice upon its Enemies.
