the utter ruining of three flourishing King∣domes, and have left no plot unattempted for the dissolution and very essence of Parlia∣ments, and have wrought both beyond sea and in England, to set His Majesty against this highest Court of Iudicature, the Court of Parliament, as may appeare by the Lord Dig∣bies and the rest of the Fugitives escape, and desiring His Maiesty to retire to some place of strength, where he might attend His Maie∣sty with His service, and now in defiance of iustice made His Maiesties Court a Sanctua∣ry for all his designes and practises formerly by him practised, in his appearance in a war∣like manner at Kingston upon Thames, to the afrightment of the whole towne, and prepa∣ring sadles and other engines of warre, which now his brother Captain Digby thought to have imployed: and having prepared a troup of horse ready to have gone for Yorke, promi∣sing great rewards to all that would attend him in his iourney to York. But having raised his troupe ready to set forward, he was taken in Sherburne, the whole town having intelligence of his coming that way, where himselfe and his followers are in hold, till the censure of the high Court of Parliament.
