JOhn Armiger Gent. having for some years lain under the intolerable burden of his malice, and being resolved to unmask the Hypocrite, and to do his country that service, as to make such an Obstructer and Abuser of Justice, capable to receive Justice, and uncapable of doing further mischief; on the 11 of Feruary, 1658. exhibited certain Instances by way of Articles, to the Lords Keepers of the Great Seal against the said Colonel in these words and form following:  
To the Right Honourable the Lords Keepers of the Great Seal of ENGLAND.  
A few of many Instances by way of Articles, in pursuance of a more General Charge humbly tendered to your Lordships by John Armiger Gent. against Robert Jermy Esq; a Justice of the Peace for the County of Norfolk.  

Imprimis.  THat John Stileman, John Tidde, John Grove, and divers others, being resolved, forcibly and riotously to enter and take possession of a Ship called, The trial of Wells, in the year 1650. did repair to the said Mr. Jermye for his advice, who did thereupon encourage the said persons to proceed in their said Intentions, telling them, it would be but a Sessions business, and he should be there, and if they were questioned there, he would bring them off for their Fees: That accordingly the said persons did enter upon the said Ship by force, wounding some of them that were in possession of her, and turning them forth; and broke a House, and took away several Goods: That complaint being made thereof to the said Mr Jermye, he refused to grant a Warrant against the said rioters, but there being one after granted from Mr. Ward another Justice, the said persons were carried before the said Jermye, who refused to bind them over, until he was threatened to be complained of: That at the said Sessions, he procured the said rioters to be discharged for their bare Fees, and did there countenance them, and discourage and discountenance those which would have prosecuted them.  
II. That about seven years since, one kneel being complained of to Thomas Cook Esq; since deceased, and then another Justice of Peace in that County, for Buggery; upon which, the said Justice issued forth his Warrant to apprehended him, the said Mr. Jermy( being then a Justice of Peace) being informed of it, wrote to the said Justice on behalf of the said party, and desired him to recall his Warrant, and to punish the Prosecutor; which Mr. cook refusing, he advised the said kneel to fly the country until after the Assizes then for that County.  
III. That one John Stileman being complained of for the Felonious taking away of certain Evidences or Writings from one Robert Hastings, out of his Cloak-bagge) to the said Mr. Jermy, he thereupon about six years since, being then also a Justice of Peace, committed the said Stileman to the Custody of a Constable, as being guilty of, or charged with the said Felony, where the said Stileman remained for some dayes: And after, the said Mr. Jermy discharged him, without further prosecution, first having instructed him how to make a fallacious Oath touching the said business.  
IV. That he without any authority, compelled one Doctor Witherly to allow Mris. Katherine Fox 16 l. per annum, and to suffer her to take what Wood she pleased off his Ground, and after enticed Mris. Fox to meet him at a private loan House, where he with much violence and incivility attempted her Chastity: And further, to prevail with her, he  told her, he had hanged one of her Brothers, and the other was fled; and if ever he came again, by the interest he had, he would hang him also, and would make her Heir to the Estate: And in the mean time would make Doctor Witherly repair the Houses, and commanded him with threats to do it: And advised her, to keep company often with two Ministers Wives, that he might keep her company without slain to his Reputation. But she refusing to yield to his Lust, and divulging his Actions, he so violently prosecuted her, upon frivolous and feigned Informations, that she was necessitated being overpowered with him, to fly the country.  
V. That the said Mr. Jermye about six years since preferred a Petition to the Commissioners for Indemnity at Habberdashers Hall, in the name of John Stileman, John Grove, William Bowman, and others; and did before the said Commissioners, swear that the substance of the said Petition was true, which afterwards the said three persons above name, upon their Oaths disowned the said Petition to be any Act of theirs, and that the substance thereof was false: And upon hearing the said Cause, wherein the said Jermye was examined as a witness, the said Commissioners also adjudged the substance thereof to be untrue.  
VI. That the said Mr. Jermye commenced an Action against the said Mr. Armiger for saying these words of him( You sit upon the Bench as a Justice of Peace to maintain Roguery and villainy, and I have  told you as much to your face upon the Bench) which came to a trial before the Lord Chief Justice Glynne at Guild-hall London, 21 of June 1656. and then the said Mr. Armiger waving his plea of not guilty, pleaded Justification, and upon proof of these and other like misdemeanours, the Jury sound for Mr. Armiger, which Verdict is exemplified.  
J. Armiger.

B. W. J. L.  
With which Order the said colonel being served, and having a Copy of the said Articles, appeared the day appointed, and the day following, and being  told by the said Lords Keepers he was to put in his Answer in writing, to the said Articles: Yet the said Colonel then making some Dilatory excuse, at that time waved it, and still doth, being unwilling to be tried by the Touch-stone of Justice, very well knowing the matters therein contained have been already proved, and yet can be made good to his shane( if he had any) But he hath made such sweet gain by his foul practise, that he is loth to forsake his Diana. But how fit he is to be entrusted with such an Authority, which so nearly concerns the Peoples Liberties, let all that love the prosperity of their country judge.
