THat he delivered to Sir jacob Ashely in compliment from the King to this effect, That he knew him and Sir John Conniers to be so gallant men, that he never intended to place above them any man that was then under their command, and more this he said not to him of any thing that concerned the King. Disproved by Sir Jacob Ashley Jnt. 2. n. Contrary to this see Sir Jacob Ashelys Examination Interg. 2. that at Mr. Oneales' coming down, he told him, that things being not so well between the King and the Parliament, he thought a Petition from the Army would do much good, and asked him if a draft of such a Petition were brought to him whether he would set his hand to it. Mr. Oneale. 2. That he had no discourse with Sir Jacob Ashley for bringing up the Army to London. Disproved by Sir Jacob Ashly, Int. 7. a. Contrary to this see Sir Jacob Ashleys' Examination Int. 7. a. That Mr. Oneale telling him of the dislikes between the King and the Parliament, and of those things which were done to the disadvantage of the King. I replied, I wondered that Counsels above should be so said as had been spoken of, of marching of the Army to the South, for they must fight with the Scots first and beat them before they cou●d move Southward, and that done, they must spoil the Country all along as they go, and when they come to London they would find resistance by the Parliament, and the Scots might rally and follow them. Mr. Oneale. 3. That he delivered the like Message to Sir john Conniers as he had done to Sir Jacob Ashley, with this addition that the King had sent him word that he would have particlu●r care of his fortunes and other Speech, than this he had not with him of any thing that concerned the King, nor delivered him, nor Sir Jacob Ashley any other message or Letter from the King. Disproved by Sir John Conniers 1 Examination, Int. 4. Contrary to this see Sir John Conniers 1 Examination, Int. 4. That Mr. Oneale used persuasions to this Examinant, that he would serve the King, and that if he did not he should be left alone, & would but ruin himself, for that all the Troopers under him, were that way inclined, That therefore he should adhere to the King, and go those ways that the King would have him. Sir john Conniers 2. Examination, in't. 4. See likewise Sir John Conniers in his 2. Examination, in't. 4. That Mr. Oneale said unto him, that if he this examinant had been well known to the King would have written, nnto him, and that therefore he conceived that this Examinant should do well to write to the King. To which he replied, That he could not serve the King in that point, and therefore thought it would be of no use to trouble the King with this Letter. Mr. Oneale. 5. That he never heard of any motion or intention to bring up the Army to London. See this disproved before Sir Jacob Ashley Jnt. 7. a. See Sir Fulk Hunks Jnt. 2. a. That Oneale dealt with him to have the Troops move. Mr. Oneale. That he never had Communication with any about the procuring a Newtrallity from the Scottish Army, nor ever heard of such a Proposition. Disproved by Sr. Jacob Ashley Jnt. 7. 7. Contrary to this, See Sir jacob Ashleys' Examination, Int. 7. That Sir Jacob saying that he wondered that Counsels above should be so laid as had been spoken of, of the marching of the Army to the South, for they must fight with the Scots first and beat them, before they could move Southward, and the Scots might ralley and follow them; To which Oneale replied, what if the Scots could be made Newtrals. Sir Jacob said, That the Scots would lay him by the heels if he should come to move such a thing, for they would never break with the Parliament. For the time of Mr. Oneales' return to the Army. Sir Jacob Ashley Jnt. 1. William Legg. Jnt. 1. Sir Charles Lucas. Jnt. 1. That Mr. Oneale went from the Army about the time that the King came from the North and returned not till june or july, and stayed there about a fortnight or 3. weeks. Sir Fulkes Hunks. Int. 1. That Oneale returned not till about the time that Mr. Wilmot and the other Soldiers were committed by the Parliament. Mr. Oneales' Examination. That the same day he was examined the last Summer, he went out of this Town, towards York, being on Wednesday as he remembers, and came to York on Friday or Saturday. The day of Mr. Oneales' first Examination was the 9 of June, as appears by the Examination itself. The time shows that this was no part of the former design for which, Wilmot, Ashpurnam, and Pollard were committed, but for the design to bring up the Army against the Parliament. To prove Oneale guilty of the second, the Heads arising out of the proofs are these. 1 That he published false Rumours in the army to the chief Officers, That there were dislikes between the King and Parliament, and that things were there done to the King's disadvantage. See Sir Jacob Ashleys' Examination, Int. 2. ●t 7. 2. That thereupon he persuaded some of the Principal Officers of the Armv to take part with the King, against the Parliament. Vide. Sir Fulk Hunks Int. 2. Sir John Conniers his examination, Int. 4. and his 2. Examination, Int. 4. 3. That he laboured to procure a Petition from the Army, to the Parliament, containing in it divers Scandalous, and Seditious matters against the Parliament, and to get the hands of some of the chief officers thereunto.
