My Lords,  
AS I have from my infancy known your Lordships to be just and honest Gentlemen of the English Nation, and Learned men in the Laws of this Commonwealth; and as for my Lord Whitlock, Sir, I knew your Father, who was a Reverend Judge of this Nation many years, and knew the Common Law of the same; but had he lived until this Age, he would have blushed, as well as his Scarlet Robes, to have seen such gross injustice done in a Commonwealth of English men, who be a wise and an ingenuous People; and I am confident, that as he was a worthy Patriot of this Commonwealth in his age, and died a good man and a Christian, so Sir, I hope that your Honors and Dignities coming to a higher and more eminent pitch of preferment in this Commonwealth, will not make your Honor to swerve in the least from his virtues, but rather strive to excel them( as in your Honors, several Relations and Capacities, as being both a Member of the honourable Parliament of England, and a councillor of State, and one of the Lords, Keepers of the Great Seal of England) and as for my Lord Keble, his virtues, Abilities in the Laws of this Nation, and fidelity to the Commonwealth, is sufficiently known to all honest and Godly men of this Nation, but especially to the Soldiery, who be my Superiors: Nevertheless my Lords, I give your Honors to understand, and I beseech your Honors to take notice hereby, That I a Member of Jesus Christ, and of this present Commonwealth, can but wonder and admire, how two such honourable persons and sage Judges of the people of this Commonwealth, and worthy Patriots of the known and fundamental Laws of this Nation, do daily permit( one Edmond Prideaux and his Complices, persons impeached of high Treason, as may appear by the Records of the capital Office the last day of the last Michaelmas Term) legally exhibited to come into your Honors presence( as I hear) or do suffer to pled before your Honors any of the Causes of the Free born persons of this Nation, when as in truth, in their Capacities, they neither be ( probi vel legales homines) of this Commonwealth, until they have fairly received their Trials, and be acquitted of their crimes they stand charged withall; and lest your Honors should be ignorant thereof( as I have done and intimated to Mr. Hill Chairman of the honourable Committee sitting upon Saturday last in the Exchequer Chamber, appointed by the honourable Parliament to hear the great Cause between Mr. Primat and Sir Arthur Haslerig, and to Mr. Lilliborn Long a worthy Member thereof, and did the like upon Tuesday morning last by my Letters unto the honourable Mr. Speaker of the honourable parliament of the Commonwealth, and sent unto each of them the true Copies in Print( erratas of the Printer excepted) but I am sure the Record with Mr. Broughton is perfect, and such as I and the Traitors will and shall abide with our lives and fortunes( they in their capacities, and I in mine) And I let your Lordships know further, that whereas the Traitor Prideaux( to hid his and his complices treasons, from the Parliament, Army and Commonwealth, did stop the impress of the Records of their Treasons, and other crimes, by means whereof the original copy came to be adulterated; yet there be now one thousand more printed and sent and dispersed into the Commonwealth and Army, Scotland and Ireland, albeit this enclosed is of the first Impress: And my Lords, I charge your Lordships in my several Capacities, That your Lordships as Keepers of the great Seal of England under the Keepers of the Liberties of England by Authority of Parliament, and on their behalf, and on my own behalf, and on the behalf of every free born person of this Commonwealth, that hath engaged with the present Commonwealth; as also on the behalf of the whole Army and Soldiery, now under the Command of Oliver cronwell Esquire, Captain General of all the Parliament and English Force, and Lord Governor of Ireland, that your Lordships do your honors uttermost endeavours to secure the persons of the said Traitors, and cause them to be delivered to the Marshall of the upper Bench Prison, to the end that in the beginning of the next hilary Term, they may be forth coming before the honourable Lo●d Chief Justice Roll, and the rest of the Reverend Judges of the upper Bench Court, before the Keepers of the Liberties of England by Authority of Parliament, to answer their Treasons and other Crimes( the particulars this enclosed will duly inform your Lordships) And that your Honors may know that I expect an Account hereof in my several Capacities; I let your Lordships know that I have sent the true Duplicate hereof to my Superiors, as also to the press, together with Mr. Speakers, Mr. Hills and Mr. amongs Letters written by me to them: and so I rest,
