There are Letters of his to be seen in the hands of a person of qualitie, wherein he mentions his whole estate to [Page 7]amount to about 1300 l. which at that time he intended to lay out upon a purchase of drained Fen-lands. He pass'd through the several degrees of Military command, till he was advanc'd 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 Mar­quesse of Worcesters estate, worth 5 or 6000 l. per annum, and others, besides great summs of money at several times, and as 'tis said for some years the whole Revenue of near all the benefices in Wales, imploying foure itinerant Teachers to coast about that Country for 100 l. per an. a man, & took occa­sion to dissolv the Rump of the long Parliament, just as they were going to call for the accounts of that money, which amounted to a vast summe.

His Funeral was solemnised with great pomp, they say to the expence of 30000 l. which is yet unpaid. He spent a vast deal of Treasure to maintaine his Tyranny.

In the dividing of the murther'd 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, restor'd the Rump for a while, and then unroosted them again; after which du­ring the space of neer six weeks he acted King at Wallingford-house (one of his Pallaces) But the Rump coming to sit again, tender-hearted mock-Prince melted into tears, and his Hypocriticall vizard of Religion being pull'd off, he went off the stage ridiculously.

* Arthur Owen Colonel.

☞ Sir John Bourchier of Yorkeshire, a person of no great note, nor estate, till by his activeness in our late distempers and fishing in troubled waters, he angled fair, and catcht a great estate which was that he fought for. He was a man as constant at Committees as at his Dinners in Hell, where he may in time sup with his Father Satan, having been a constant Rumper, and one of the Kings cruell Judges.

☞ Tho. Challoner also a Yorkeshire man, eminent for his Speeche in the House, for the delivering of his late Majesty out of the Scots Clutches, in­to whose protection he had put himself; a man most virulently invective against Monarchy, ha­ving been one of his Majesties cruel Judges, also now at the sobrest an Inseparable Rumper, to the last an eminent stickler for a Common-wealth.

John Thurlow, a servant and Secretary to Oliver S. John, was after that made principal Secretary of State to Oliver Cromwel and Richard, and chose Postmaster of England, a place of a vast income, he may be justly said to be also a principal Instrument, and to have a great hand in bringing in all those abominable and wicked practises and oppressions that have been for these many years last past, by which and his underhand dealings, he did not on­ly attain to much greatness and honour, but to a vast estate, he was brought into all the Mock Par­liaments to give aim to his Masters; and it is belee­ved that he had a great hand with his brother Noel in selling some scores of those Gentlemen as slaves, to the Barbadoes and other Plantations, that were [Page 23]accused for being in the business at Salisbury, with Mr. Penruddock and others, and was assisting in that Committee of Safety, whereof Fleetwood sate as as Prince, but now where he is, and what will befall him next, is well worth the knowledge.

☞ Henry Mildmay, the prodigy of ingratitude who was servant to the sate King & not only knighted by him, but his Majesty was pleased also in his own person to become an Advocate, for the obtaining Alde man Holidaies Widdow for him; who being also made master of the Kings Jewels, most im­pudently had the face to appear and sit as one of his gracious Soveraigns Judges. He is a shallow fellow, by some firnamed sir Whimsey Mildmay; a pestilent Republican, and a rampant Rumper.

☞ Aug. Garland an old stander in the long Par­liament, an indefatigable Stickler in most Commit­tees. A notable Commonwealths man, and a re­solute opposer of the Government in a single per­son, therefore out of date upon the intrusion of Oliver Cromwel; but in again upon the restoration of the Rump, of which fraternity he was free. He was also one of his late Majesties Jud­ges.

☞ John Barkstead the Son of Michael Barkstead Goldsmith, who also was himself in his ruinority a petty Goldsmith in the Strand, a very empty shal­low pated person, therefore the most fit to be cajold and wrought on, being of a malleable temper.

He by his jugling insinuation crep [...] into the Custom-house, and was there one of the farmers thereof. But being accused of fraudu­lent dealings there, was discarded by Cromwel though he had feasted him before most magnifi­cently at Fulham. I never heard any that could speak of his honesty or courage, being as to the last a little inconsiderable ratt, and as to the other a factious Rumper, and one of his Majesties cruell Judges.

☞ Thomas Harrison a man of very mean birth, being the son of a Butcher in or near Newcastle un­derline. He was servant to master Hulk an Attorney at Law, but preferring war before peace got into the Army, and having the knack of canting was believed to be a person of surpassing piety, & so in­sinuated himself from one command to another, till he became Major Generall of Wales, being dange­rously anababtisticall in his tenents, and a perfect hater of Orthodox Divines and a devourer of their maintenance.

☞ William Heveningham of Norfolk, a Gentle­man of a most antient extraction, and a very faire [Page 25]Estate, who was conceived more out of some ani­mosity then interest to be drawne away. He was a­mongst the rest seduced to be one of the Kings Jud­ges, and was also one of the Rumpers.

☞ John Okey, his parentage was as mean as his calling, some deeming him a Drayman, others a Yeast­man, but he was indeed a Stoaker in a Brewhouse at Islington and afterwards poor Chandler neer Lion-Key in Thames Street, where living very poor and indigent, he converted his blue apron into a Busse Coat, and became a Colonel of Dragoons; a fellow of greater Bulk then Brains, and strength then Wit or Conscience, otherwise he would have had more grace then to have sate one of the Kings Judges, and be one of that most impudent Committee that signed the Warrant for his death, and appointed the time and place for his execution.

☞ John Downs, Colonel a Person which did strike whilest the Iron was hot, and so with his sword opened the trap door to his fortune. One that hath thriven well by the times, having raised himself to a considerable estate, an enemy to Mo­narchy, and a main man for a Common-wealth, be­ing one of the Kings Judges, and an hater of any government in one single Person, one of the Council of State in fifty one, and an inseparable Rumper to the last gasp.

☞ James Temple of Sussex, one of the Long Parli­ament, a Colonel, was Governour of Banbury Ga­stle in Sussex, got the estate of Sir Charles Shelley violently by Order from the Rump Parliament, under the notion of his being grand child of a Pa­pist; and possessed it without giving any due ac­count [Page 26]for it, pretending his good service, and upon the interruption of the Rump, he took the Kings Bench, and afterwards came out by the five pound Act; the chief service he did was to be one of his Princes cruel Judges, and a constant Rumper.

☞ Sir Gregory Norton of Sussex a man but of a meane fortune before these times as it is said, had Richmond house, and much of the Kings goods for [...]n inconsiderable valew, only they were the prise of royal blood, he being one of his Princes cruel Judg­es and a constant Rumper to his last.

Bulstrode Whitlock, once a Counsellor 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.

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 worshipp'd the Rump.

He was a Discontent during all Oliver's and Richard 's Government.

☞ Sir Hardresse Waller Major 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.

How many of those Members have undertaken [Page 37]to secure Malignants Houses and goods, but in the end have taken them all for their owne use.

What Castles, Houses, Chases and Parks have they had, and the publick 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 sequestring Delinquents (April 1. 1643.) it was declared that their Estates should goe for maintenance of the publick affairs, and several other Ordinances de­signed Bishops Lands for payment of 200000 l. pu­blick debt, yet you may see by this that Delinquents Estates and Bishops Lands were by the Members of Parliament shared amongst themselves whilest the pu­blick 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 Fynes, 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 [Page 38] Onflowes, two Pooles, two Lenthalls, &c. And that our Ecclesiasticks may comply with our Temporall Governors, the House abolish (as superstitions because Legall,) 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 benefice.
