To the Reader.  
I Suppose all but such as wilfully shut their own eyes against the greatest evidence in the world, are long since convinced what the designs, aims, interests, projects of the Ring-leaders in the late long Parliament were in involving these Nations in a miserable and destructive War. Their pretences were no doubt the most specious and plausible that could be imagined, Defence of Religion, and the Subjects Freedom; but alas! never were these things more pretended to, and less in reality designed; greatness, wealth and command were the inducements to the most hypocritical persons in the world to profane the name of God by calling their cursed ambition his Cause, to murder so many innocent persons both by the civil and military sword, to ruin so many noble families by depriving them of the subsistence left them for many years from their ancestors, and at length, as the top of all wickedness( having by the divine permission defeated the forces of their sovereign) to murder him under the pretence of Iustice, for a Tyrant; when as it were no hard matter to make it good against any gain sayer whatsoever, that no Nation under the Sun lived more happily and freely then we, during the reign of that most excellent and religious King; nor any more miserable and slavishly then since his death. The following Catalogue will present the perusers with an account of some of the late Parliament mens advantages by our miseries, fairly and as far as possible, truly collected. It must not be expected to find all those mentioned here whose hands have been filled at the price of many thousand mens blood and destruction; nor is it to be thought, that those that are mentioned, got no more then what they are said to have gotten in this Catalogue. For such officers as were not of the House are partly omitted, though they had their share in the spoil, and got Palaces and great Estates of Noble men and others as a reward of their fidelity to the enslavers of their Country and the Members divided, & got vast sums of money in the dark and connived at one anothers cheating of the public. Otherwise, what became of those incredible sums raised by sale of the revenue of the King, Bishops, Delinquents, compositions, excise, horrible and oppresive taxes, whereas their common souldiers were paid after the most sordid and dishonourable way that ever was heard of, for being unable to double their arrears and purchase lands, they were enforced to sell them at extreme inconsiderable rates to their false and abominable masters the Members of Parliament. All which being considered it will be no wonder they were so loathe to dissolve, and unwilling to hear of another representative. Which God be thanked, is at length assembled together with the House of Peers and the Kings most excellent Majesty, whose counsels and purposes Almighty God prosper and bless; but let destruction be the reward of our destroyers, let the pray be torn out of their teeth, let the blood they have  shed fall upon their own heads, and let their names be detested and infamous to all pesterity.   

A The Names of such Members of the House of Commons, as held Offices both Civil and Military, contrary to that their self-denying Ordinance of April 3. 1645.  
Together with Such sums of Money, and Lands which they have divided and given amongst themselves during their sitting, at least what was disposed of, by them publicly.

Nathaniel Bacon, given him 3000 l. afterwards Master of the Requesis to the Cromwells, during the greatest part of their Usurpation, his salary for which was 500 l. per Annum, and 'tis likely would be in the same office, for whomsoever would pay him the same wages.

John Birch, of Herefordshire, a Colonel, who carried himself fairly to compass so great an estate. He was one while for a Commonwealth, till upon better illumination he detested his error, became and so continues very Monarchical, and was one of the Secluded Members.  
Godfrey Boswel Colonel.  
Richard brown, mayor General and governor of Abington, was afterwards persecuted for designing to secure the City of London, when Fairfax by the Command of his Lieutenant General cromwell, marched with his Army against the City, the chiefest occasion and in●et of all our woes. He was imprisoned for the most part of the Rumps and Olivers Tyranny, and hath manifested himself both by his actings and sufferings, a cordial lover both of his Prince and country, and hath been a very active instrument for the good of these kingdoms.  
John Bingham of Dorset, son-in-law to Mr. John Trenchard, governor first of Pool, and lastly of jersey, helped his estate well, and having been a Colonel of Horse, and Foot, and had 1000 l. given him.  
John Brown married Sir Thomas Trenchards Sister, a petty Committe●-man, seized 1000 l. of the stock and goods of Farmer Wades in Portland, whom though the Committee acquitted of Malignancy, yet could not his goods( being in the hands of a Member be redelivered, so they are Mali●nant still, and secured in Mr. Browns hands.  
Dennis Bond a wooller-Draper, he acted by his Trustees, his sons and brother; one son he made Master of Trinity-Hall in Cambridge, another Auditor of the Excise, worth 500 l. per Annum, and his brother governor of Portland, Receiver of the Kings Rents in southampton and Somerset.  
John Bell apothecary to the body politic, hath as l●ttle given him as he deserves in honest times, but to preserve the privilege of the House is protected for what he can get. He was a Trustee for the poor at Westminster, Receiver of Mr. Anthrobus and others money for the Poor, was sued for an account; said, he could not answer without breach of privilege of Parliament, and that he durst not; by which means Parliament-men then were the surest keepers of Trust.  
Thomas Boon, a single-ey'd Gentleman, formerly forsooth a Tapster, and at present one of the Plenipotentiaries for the reconciling the two Northern Kings Denmark and that of Swede, had 6000 l. given him, a cruel Committee-man, that licked his fingers, and hath got a vast estate.

A constant Rumper, and one of his Majesties most cruel Judges. A great persecutor of the Ministers of Reading, or else they slander him, which is very hardly possible.  
☞ Oliver cromwell. This Scourge of God was in the beginning of these troubles a man of no considerable fortune. There are Letters of his to be seen in the hands of a person of quality, wherein he mentions his whole estate to amount to about 1300 l. which at that time he intended to lay out upon a purchase of drained Fen-lands. He passed through the several degrees of Military command, till he was advanced to be General of the Army, during which time he received great gifts out of estates of the Dukes of Buckingham, the Lord Francis Villers, the marquis of Worcesters estate, worth 5 or 6000 l. per annum, and others, besides great sums of money at several times, and as 'tis said for some years the whole Revenue of near all the benefice in Wales, employing four itinerant Teachers to cost about that Country for 100 l. per an. a man, & took occasion to dissolve the Rump of the long Parliament, just as they were going to call for the accounts of that money, which amounted to a vast sum. One would have thought all this with the Generals pay might have satisfied such a mans appetite, whose beginning was someane; but having projected greatness and sovereignty to himself, from the beginning he waded to it through the blood of his natural Prince, and great numbers of his fellow Subjects, and made himself supreme governor of these Nations under the Title of Protector; which Power he held with much oppression, dissimulation, hypocrisy, and bloodshed for about five years, when God cut him off before he had well provided, for the establishment of his Son in the Succession. His Funeral was solemnized with great pomp, they say to the expense of 30000 l. which is yet unpaid. He spent a vast deal of Treasure to maintain his Tyranny. But he is gone to his own place, and let his memory be accursed for ever.  
John Desborough, a man of very mean extraction and estate, being a poor Farmer in the country, but upon marriage of Cromwells Sister grew up a Colonel, after Admiral of Sea, and hugely emproved in his estate, yet for all this was one of those that combined to dethrone his Nephew Richard, and became himself one of the Committee of Safety, a perfect Clown, and a prodigious example of Ingra●titude.  
☞ Miles Corbet by some nick-named the Jew, either for his rueful looks, or rigid nature, at the beginning of this Parliament a man of small Estate, made one of the Registers in Chancery, worth 700 l. per annum. And hath money in his purse, and was ten times one of the Commissioners in Ireland, worth what he will per an. and one of the Kings Iudges, and a Rumper.  
Sir John Clotworthy Treasurer for Ireland, and by the Army charged( I dare not say justly) with def●auding the State of 40000 l. which may be one reason why the King could never get an account of the money raised for the Irish, though he much desired it, he was one of the secluded members, and a long time imprisoned at Windsor.  
Thomas Ceely much indebted, if not helped out of Prison by the Parliament, and made Recorder of Bridgwater.  
☞ Gregory Clements Merchant in both senses, when he had been a Member two Moneths, protested he had scarce cleared the purchase moneys which was but 60 l. but said trading he doubted not would mend. The same was one of the Kings Judges.  
Sir Henry Cholmely, Col. of Horse, and once a zealous Commissioner of York-shire. Since he hath given some Testimonies of Loyalty.

And was one of the Kings Judges.  
edmond Dunce Constable of Wallingford Castle, husband to that fine Mistris Dunce, a great savorite of the Protector, and had a Patent to be a Lord of the Lord knows what, and how little he deserveth it, being but a very punurious and pinching Gentleman.  
Henry Darly Richard Darly Given to their Father for them 5000. l. A pair of zealous Rumpers; the former was extreme active in bringing in the Army of the Brethren of Scotland, to the ruin of his native Co●●trey, both base.  
William Ellis Steward of Stepney, worth 200 l. per annum. And by him sold to one of the Temple: made hast to be rich, and was mighty thriving Committee-man during the late destructive Wars; he was afterwards Solicitor General to the two Protectors; He was very zealous for the making of Oliver King; for which his good Lord made him Knight. He hath from nothing in a few years got an estate( supposed) worth 3000. per annum.  
Sir Walter earl Colonel of Horse, and Lieutenant of the Ordnance in Sir John Heydons place, worth 1000. l. per annum in time of Peace, but in time of War worth 50000 l. per annum. He was by some termed the Parliaments Midwife, which whensoever it teemed with any monstrous or prodigious plots, his assistance was still invoked to help deliver and bring her a-bed.

☞ George Fleetwood of Buck. Colonel, and one of the primitive pros 〈◇〉 that Old Cause, a great favourite of, and Knighted by cronwell: a constant Rumper, and one of the Kings Judges.  
* Charles Fleetwood, colonel and Lord Deputy of Ireland. This pitiful Anabaptist was Olivers Son-in law, and upon that score advanced to be Lieutenant general of the Army for merit he never had any. In the dividing of the murdered King's Inheritance, Woodstock and other rich possessions fell to his share. About a year since, he with some other Officers ungratefully deth●on'd Protector Richard, restored the Rump for a while, and then unroosted them again; after which during the space of near six weeks he acted King at Wallingford-house( one of his palaces) But the Rump coming to sit again, tender-hearted mock-Prince melted into tears, and his hypocritical vizard of Religion being pulled off, he went off the stage ridiculously.  
John Goodwin the other Register in Chancery, worth 700 l. per annum.  
Sir Gilbert Gerard pay Master to the Army had 3d per pound allowed, worth 60000 l. And was chancellor of the duchy worth 1200 l. per annum.  
☞ John Carew of Cornwall, brother to Sir Alexander Carew an imitator of his brothers antecedent stubbornness, but not of his subsequent repentance, an itinerary Preacher or rather exorcist, a grand deluder of the Puritans by his turn-upey'd Sermons, and a painful promoter of the pentemonarchical interest, an earnest enemy to the fourth Monarchy, and therefore the more easily induced to be one of the Kings judicial murderers.  
John Maynard of D●vonshire one of the severe prosecutors of the earl of Strafford in the long Parliament, sergeant at Law, a person of more eminent parts then piety, being as most of that fraternity are, very mercenary as to the selling his breath, and very avaricious as to the business of the world. He was much censured by his Friends for being of the Council of the Protector against Doctor Hewit, and Sir Henry Slingsby.  
Sir William Roberts a Gentleman that sled into Holland for fear of the Bishops, but when the War began he came over to fish in the troubled waters, and was made a great Committy-man whereby he much advanced his Estate and Interest, and being in good soil grew to be a great man; he quickly became a creature of Olivers, and was called to be of Bair●bones Parliament, and of the mock Parliaments since, and was of all the great Committees, and had a salary of 1000 l. per Annum. for his good services in promoting his Masters Interest( which he did to the life) ●or which he advanced him to be a Lord in his other House, and continued him Principal Commissioner in that most gainful Committee for augmentations of Ministers maintenance, but it is hoped his Estate may afford some maintenance to others now.

Penruddock, and the rest of those Gentlemen taken at South-Moulton in Devon, by Article-breaking Crooke; for which good services, and his complying Principles to advance the Protector, he was made Lord Chief Justice of England, and no doubt behaved himself in the place as his Master would have him, by whom he was also made a Lord of his other House, but that and he fell with the idol Dick. He was one of the eleven Members impeached by the Army for Treason, and by that Parliament committed to the Tower.

What must he then that keeps the Knave.  
Bulstrode Whitlock, once a counselor at Law of the middle Temple, then a member of the long Parliament, where he profited much, advanced his Interest, and became Commissioner of the great Seal. Before the Troubles he was an intimate friend to Sir Richard Lane, who going to Oxford, entrusted him with his chambers in the Temple, of which with all the goods, and an excellent Library he hath kept possession ever since, and would not own that ever he knew such a man, when Sir Richard's son was brought to wait upon him( in his greatness.) He was sent ambassador into Sweden in great State, and when his Masters were turned out, acted there for the Protector. He was since Commissioner of the Treasury under him, and one of his Lords of the other House; under Dick he was made Commissioner of the Seal again, and he being discarded, wheeled about and worshipped the Rump.

He put on Olivers Robes at his Installation, and made him a worthy Oration, for which good service he was made chief Baron of the Exchequer. His sly formality restored him to the great Seal since the Rump's resitting. No doubt he is a weakly man, and has more of the Willow then the Oak.  
☞ Edward Whaley formerly a woollen Draper or petty merchant in London, where not thriving, and being much in Debt, he fled into Scotland till the Warres began, which he hath found a more gainful trade; and in which he was Commissary General of the Horse; he was of the later Parliaments, and a promoter of Olivers ambitious designs and his Countries slavery, for which he was made a mayor General of two or three Counties, and a Lord of the other House. But the restoring of the Rump checked this little man's greatness, till Lambert turned them out, and then he was sent into Scotland to desire General monk to be quiet. He was one of the accursed crew that dared to sit in judgement upon his sovereign.  
Sir Henry Vane junior, son to the Elder, totally outed Sir William Russel, and was sole Treasurer to the Navy, a place worth at least 6000 l. per annum in time of war, especially when the Lord Treasurer was his Friend, more when he was his Father. He was a Discontent during all Oliver's and Richard 's Government. He is no doubt a man of much Religion, and would have become one of the Rulers of Israel, if the intended match between his Son and Lamberts Daughter had not been spoiled by the restitution of the Rump.  
Sir William Waller lost two Armies and yet a Gainer. He was afterwards one of the eleven impeached Members, and is become an honest man, and a Patriot of his country.  
Sir Thomas Walsingham had the honour of Eltham given him that was the Earl of Dorsets, the middle Park and House which was Mr, Whites, and hath cut down 5000 l. worth of Timber-trees, but hath scarce one left of his own to make a Gibbet.

William White Coll. and was Treasurer of War to the Army in the North under the command of the old Lord Fairfax.  
sergeant Wild, Lord chief baron had after the hanging of Captain Burley a 1000 l. out of the privy purse of Darby-house, 'tis thought he afforded a great pennyworth in his service, which another would not have done for 10000 l. and it is affirmed he had 1000 l. more upon the acquittance of mayor Rolph, so 'tis all one to him whether he hangs or hangs not. He lived retired during the Protectorian Government, but was lately restored to the Exchequer, for being a lover of the Rump.  
Robert Wallop had 11000 l. out of the marquis of Winchesters Estate as 'tis reported.  
☞ Valentine Walton Brother-in-Law to Oliver cronwell, Colonel and governor of Lin Regis, purchased the Queens Mannor of Somersham in the Isle of Ely for a small matter, which he has improved to a large revenue by Decoyes, &c. which the rage of the people has lately demolished utterly: was one of the Kings Iudges, was instrumental in dethroning his Cousin Dick.  
☞ Sir Hardresse Waller mayor General of the Army, a Colonel of Horse, a great Committee-man, and one of those five who were appointed to consider of the time and place of his late Majesties execution, which they appointed before his own door. He, with his assistants were also the Kings Iudges.  
It was reported that Steven Kirk, Daniel Cox, Rab. Wakeman and John Stinte( prime Clerks and solicitors to their Committees) shared 1100 l. of Sir Edward Sebrights money to keep him from being a Delinquent, and that records were taken off the file, and others put in their rooms, gained great Estates to themselves, the truth of this were worth enquiting after.  
How many of those Members have undertaken to secure Malignants Houses and goods, but in the end have taken them all for their own use.  
What Castles, Houses, chaces and Parks have they had, and the public no benefit thereof is worth the enquiry. Besides the Kings Revenues and compositions which amounteth to  
Besides these Offices, Commands and gratuities, and every member of the House of Commons,( being in all 516.) are by their own order allowed 4. l. per week a man, which amounts to 107328 l. per annum, by the Ordinance for sequestering Delinquents( April 1. 1643.) it was declared that their Estates should go for maintenance of the public affairs, and several other Ordinances designed Bishops Lands for payment of 200000 l. public debt, yet you may see by this that Delinquents Estates and Bishops Lands were by the Members of Parliament shared amongst themselves whilst the public debt is unsatisfied, and the Excise and Taxes held up.  
Besides all this the incomes they raised upon the people under colour of the War, amounted to 3. millions per annum at least.  
And did not they intend to perpetuate their Parliament, and entail their Session( as the Priesthood on Levi) on confiding Families to furnish them with Votes, as Sir Gilbert Gerard and his two sons, Sir Robert Harloe and his two sons, three fines, three Ashes, four Stephens, four Pelhams, four Herberts, four Temples, Sir Thomas Jervois and his son, Sir Henry Vane and his son, two Puries, two Cha●loners, two Bacons, two Pierepoints, two Bonds, two Onflowes, two pools, two Lenthalls, &c. And that our ecclesiastics may comply with our temporal Governors, the House abolish( as superstitions because legal,) the convocation of learned Divines regularly chosen by the Kings writ and duly elected by the Clergy, and the House of Commons nominated an assembly of gifted Divines, for that there is not an assembly man, but is thrust into anothers bnfice.

THe City of London, no doubt, was always famous for wealthy Citizens, so that 'tis said before these times four Aldermen of London were able to buy the estates of twenty of the chief Burgomasters of Amsterdam. The truth is, all things flourished then, and all trades were in a thriving condition. Of late we do not find so many rich men as formerly, but more poor and such as barely make a shift to live. The reason of which is, the general decay of all trades, occasioned by the heavy burd●ns of all sorts of impositions, which so exhaust the wealth of the whole Nation, that in a few years time it has been all drawn to the Exchequer. Therefore those we see grown rich of late, have become so by other trades then were formerly ever known in this City; the chiefest of which consisted in dealing in Excise, customs, Taxes, Sales of forfetted Lands, &c. Which have proved mighty comfortable to the hearts of the following persons, while their Neighbours and the rest of the Nation lay groaning and crying out of their miseries.  
1. John Warner Lord Mayor before his time, one of the Treasurers of war had 3 d. a pound for what he received in, and as much by Ordinance for what he paid out, besides great gratuities to help men to their moneys, and bought good penniworths of bad debts, then paid himself, he was also Treasurer for all moneys that were due upon Ordinance of the third of August 1645. he was made Treasurer for loan-monies. Iudas carried but one bag who is said to be a thief, Warner had three, but my modesty will not say so of him, yet he hath purchased at easy rates the Arch Bishop of Yorks best house, the Castle and Mannor of Caiwood; but he was one of the Militia of London, and therefore the City Forts must justify whatsoever he hath done.  
2. Sir John Wollastone Alderman, at first he was one of the Treasurers for the Plate, and a Treasurer at war, Treasurer for Loan-money, Say-master of the Mint, and Trustee for Sale of Bishops Lands, and hath the Bishop of Londons land at Highgate, and he was one of the City Militia, and shared with my Lord Say in Guildhall Plate, whereby they much enriched themselves.  
3. William Gibbs Alderman, was Master of the Guildhall Plate and Bodkins, by which he got 7 or 8000 l. he was one of the Treasurers for 200000 l. to pay the Scots which was done in half crowns; he was a Trustee for Bishops Lands, and Treasurer for rents and money raised by them, and for what he received and what he paid, had 1 d. per l. allowed by Ordinance, besides what he allowed himself, he also was one of the City Militia, because he must stand upon his guard, and was one of the Commissioners from the City, just before the Army marched in with Lenthall the Speaker, and the rest of the Members that run from the House.  
John Fowk Alderman, he was a Commissioner for the customs, refused to account upon oath, because his too tender conscience might not discover ought against his profit, he reformed( cheated is obsolete) jews and Gentiles, Papists and Protestants; for jews he said he might under the Gospel as well borrow their Ear-rings, as they under the Law did the Egyptians. His Christian Reformation will fill as much paper, as the Declaration and Ordinances of the Houses for foreign Reformation. inquire of Madock hews a Greek of Zant, for whom he was factor: for our home Reformation you may learn of Mr. jo. Plampton, Thomas Milsey, Mr. Clerk a Cooper, Mr. Beadle, &c. all whom he hath reformed; he was Treasurer for payments of wagoners: he was a Trustee for Bishops Lands, and Controller of account for them, had first 200 l. per annum, and after by an additional Ordinance 300 l. a year more standing Fee, and another of the City Commissioners to bring in the Army, when they opened the gap to our ruin.  
☞ Isaac Penington Alderman, a Member of the House of Commons, while he was Lord Mayor he got much money by passes out of the Town, more by turning men out of their places for pretended Malignants, and putting others in their room, creatures of his own; he was Lieutenant of the Tower of London, he was trusted by Sir John Penington with 6000 l. which he discovered, begged it, and had it by privilege of Parliament, he was protected against Creditours, and therefore would not pay debts, yet hath he bought store of Bishops Lands, this was one of his Majesties murderous Iudges, and a constant Rumper.  
Christopher Pack Alderman, Commissioner for customs, Treasurer at war, had 3 d. per l. for all money paid to him, or received from him, hath bought the Bishop of Lincolnes Mannor and House at Bugden, and was one of the City Militia; he was both a Knight and Lord of Cromwel's making, and brought the Bill into the House, at the instance of the royalists of the House, to petition him that he would please to be King; for which good service upon his Petition, he was discharged from an account of 16000 l. which he and others were liable to make good to the Treasury of the customs. Was one of Dr. Hewets Iudges, and proclaimed no Kingship.  
☞ Thomas Andrews Alderman, before the Parliament a great dealer in projects, was Treasurer for the plate and money, brought into Guildhall, where he and Lord Say licked their fingers. He was Treasurer at war, had 3. d. per l. as the others, and was a Commissioner for customs; he built many houses upon the ground belonging to S. Pauls Church, and was one of the late King's Iudges. He was illegally made Lord Mayor on purpose to proclaim the Act against Kingly Government, when Alderman Reynoldson refused it.  
Samuel Avery Alderman, a Commissioner for the customs, a Treasurer for sequestrations, and a Trustee for the sale of Bishops Lands.  
Tho. Culham Alderman, a Commissioner for Excise worth 1200 l. per annum.  
John Kendrick Alderman, Commissioner for Excise, worth 1200 l. per annum.  
Tho. Foot Alderman, Commissioner for the Excise, worth 1200 l. per annum.  
☞ own row Lieutenant Colonel, Keeper of the Magazine & store, received 5000 l. to provide arms, not yet accounted for, one of the City Militia, and one of the Kings Judges, a firebrand of the City, and an Enemy to its Ancient Civil Government.  
Walter Boothby Commissioner for the customs. Thomas Manwaring a colonel, Register accountant for moneys raised by Bishops Lands, had a standing Fee of 200 l. per annum.  
John Dethick a Treasurer at war, and bad 3 d. per l. for what he both received and paid, and one of cronwell ' Knights.  
Edward Hooker colonel.  
Thomas Viner Alderman of London and once Lord Mayor; was like a still Sow, and brought much draff to his through, no doubt got well by ordering the massey heaps of Plate for the Mint, was one that proclaimed no Kingship; and yet a while after proclaimed Oliver the Tyrant, and road barehead and carried the sword when it rained before him; for which good service be dubbed him his first Knight. He was Sheriff of London when his Prince was murdered, and was then present, the which Alderman Brown his then fellow-Sheriff refused and was secured.  
☞ Robert Tichburn Alderman, a Colonel, Lieutenant of the Tower, a Commissioner for the customs a long time, and no doubt had a share with his brother Pack of the 16000 l. in arrear: A grand Committee-man, one of the Militia of the City, and by his dexterity in these and many other offices got a great estate; was also both Knight and Lord of Olivers makings which he deserved for being one of his Princes cruel Iudges, afterwards went to proclaim no Kingship, was one of Dr. Hewits Iudges, and a mighty man in the Committee of unsafety.  
John Ireton Alderman, Lord Mayor of London one year, and would fain had been in another year, out of his love to the Place and to his good masters in the Rump, who made him a colonel of horse; he was in at all games in the City; and played so well, that the chief Gamesters would not leave him nor his good brother Tichburn out of their Committee of Safety, who were to give aim to them against the City.  
John Fenton, at first a Tagger of points, then a Buttonseller, and when better trading came on, he went out with some volunteers against the King to Redding, where he behaved himself so well, that he was: made Treasurer by Essex, but lost his account, being frighted at Brandford or Kingston; was afterwards a Lieutenant colonel, and thrive so well, that he bought a great part of the Petty Cannons Garden, and other Land about Pauls, and built on it many Houses, where he hath screwed and racked his Tenants ever since.  
Philip Skippon mayor general of the Army under the Earl of Essex, worth 365 l. per annum; and mayor general of the City of London, worth as 'tis supposed 6●6 l. 13 s. 4 d. per annum, according to his Brethrens Salary that were then mayor general of the Counties; Captain of the Artillery Garden London, one of the Protectors Lords of his Privy council worth 1000 l. per annum, who hath also much improved his talent by purchasing a vast estate at very cheap rates.  
Martin noel a Scrivener, Thurlo'es partner in the Post Office. This man( besides other base actions under that cruel Tyrant cronwell) sold a great number of honest people of this Nation, ( who had been in the Salisbury Insurrection) for perpetual slaves to the Indies and other where; and yet he lives, and pretends to Religion. He was at first used to go about to Cock-matches and Horse-races to lend money according to his trade, the brokage being highest on such occasions; lately he was a great Publican in the customs & Excise, but when the Rump returned to their old seats he was turned out, and posted up upon the Exchange,( I believe, not for his honesty.) However viis & modis he has gotten a great Estate, both in England and the Indies: no doubt, he is a great Saint, and ought to enjoy the possessions of the Earth.  
Green at first a Gold-smith, Secretary to the Committee at Worcester-House, hath got a vast Estate by buying and selling of Debenters.  
Samuel Moyor at first a poor Cabbin-boy, afterward a well known chairman in Haberdashers Hall to most of this kingdom, a sworn servant to the Rump, a notorious Sectarian, and in at all Games.  
Dr. Walker Advocat to the Commonwealth, and these many years accounted a ci-villain; he with his two proctors, Suckling & Frankling were well experienced in condemning the Dutch Prizes, where each one of them could get 1000 l. for his share in a morning. For whatsoever these two eager hunters could discover, the third being Advocate would certainly have it condemned as prise, by which means they have each of them gotten very great Estates both in Land and money.  
Nathaniel Campfield Lieutenant colonel.  
Richard Chiverton a receiver of one per Cent of Merchants goods for redemption of captives.  
Richard Hill( likewise) a receiver of one per Cent. of Merchants goods, for redemption of captives and a Commissioner for sale of prise goods, and was called to account by his Master before his partners and he were ready.  
Stephen Estwick a Trustee for sale of Bishops Lands, formerly a Commissioner for the customs, one of the City Militia, and go ta great Estate since the long Parliament began.  
james russel a Trustee for the sale of Bishops Lands, one of the City Militia, formerly a Commissioner for the customs.

These were all Common Councill-men, and had such employments as thou seest and have besides been doublers of loan moneys, and buyers of others loans at 9 s. & 10 s. per pound, received their full interest at 8 s. per Cent out of the Excise, and their principle in good penny worths out of Bishops Lands, buying 6000 l. worth of Land, for 1000 l. in Arrears or loan money which they bought for 4 or 500 l. benefit, which bargains were so many and so great both to Parliament men, Souldiers and Citizens, as 'tis no wonder they cared not for admitting of any offer to repay them the purchase money, and preserve the Church Lands for Church maintenance, but would rather( 'tis to be feared) have continued the Army, Excise, Taxes their employment and our ruin, which God forbid.  
John ston sometimes a Haberdasher in Friday street London, who was a zealous Common Councellman and Captain under Tichborn, and in some of Olwer's Parliaments, who carried the matter so well that he was preferred to be one of the Tellers in the Exchequer worth 500 l. per annum, besides other fees: Receiver general of the Taxes, worth 400 l. per annum, controller of the Excise and customs worth 400 l. per annum: a Commissioner at the Wine Office, and one of the Committee of the Army, in all which places he thrived so well that he hath purchased many hundreds per annum, and a good sum in his purse lying by him upon all occasions.  
Thomus Kelsey of a mean trade in Birchin-Lane: and not thriving of that, betook himself to the wars whereby his zeal to the cause advanced him to be a Lieutenant Coll. and a creature of Oliver's, who made him a Commissioner of the Admiralty worth 500 l. per annum, and one of the mayor Generals of two Counties, whose salary for one County was 666 l. 13 s. 4 d. per annum besides governor of Dover Castle.  
Will. Steel at first a young practitioner in the Law and used Guild-Hall: about the beginning of the Wars was chosen one of the City counsel: and great Chairman of that all devouring Committee at Cambden-House, where he demeaned himself so well that he should have been counsel with Cook and Dorislaus for managing the charge against his sovereign, but it was his good hap to fall sick( as 'tis reported) of the small pox just at the instant: however he was afterwards made Recorder of London: then Lord chief. Baron of the Exchequer, and continued so, until sent by his good Lord Oliver, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, where he remained until he was sent for to be one of the 23. great Governours of this Nation in the Committee of Safety, in all which employments he was very active and as true as Steel.  
josias Bernars of Clarkenwell, formerly a serving man. Bradshaws second and Haselrigs right eye, and ever as envious and fierce as either: was as forward for the ruin of the King and promoting the High Court of Iustice, both for the trial of the King and Dr. Hewit, though, by the continual prayers and tears of his wife he sate in neither, yet his zeal was never the less, and so hath continued all the Rumps time, with that height of zeal against his Majesty, that he was one of the 16. Abjurators, which in all honest mens judgement is as dangerous to his Majesty and kingdoms, as any thing possibly can be, and not in justice to be pardonned.  
☞ William Goffe a Salter in London, whose time being newly out, betook himself to the Cause, went out a Quarter-master, and continued in the Warres until he had got what he fought for; and in time became a Colonel, and in appearance a very zealous devout man, much like his master Oliver, who sought after greatness, sovereignty, and Power; and praise of men, more then of God; as by their actions, and our woeful experience too manifestly appeared, by his complying with the Protectors designs and Interests, got himself to be made mayor general of Sussex and Hampshire, which was worth 1200l. perannum or what he pleased to make it, was of some of the mock-Parliaments, advanced his estate greatly, he was thought worthy to be in Lamberts place, and command, of mayor general of the Army, and no doubt aimed to be Protector as Lambert did, was one of the Lords in the other House, and one of his sovereigns cruel Iudges.  
☞ Tho. Horton, in his extraction very despicable, who after he had been servant and falconer to Sir Arthur Haselrig lured fairly and percht on a Regiment of horse. A person of so little note that few knew whence he came or whither he went, unless to the internal Region, having sate as one of the Kings Iudges, and being of anarchical and pernicious principles to Kingly power.  
☞ Tho. Scot by birth, son of a mean Brewer, and by adoption a Brewers clerk of London; who by being transplanted to Alisbury grew up to the Stature of a solicitor or Attorney. A little sneaking fellow, but a great lover of mischief, who closing in with our first divisions helped to widen them. A great pretender to piety, but much believed to be of a loose and lascivious life, having been said to have had the grincums. A diligent searcher after, seizer and suppresser of the Kings Books, or any thing written in his favour. A terrible man for a Commonwealth, having been a long Rumper, and Secretary to the council of State, having been one of the Kings Iudges and most impudently glorying, that when he was dead he desired no other tomb, or inscription then this, Here lies Tho. Scot, one of the late Kings Triers.
