He was committed to Newgate; his Press and other Materials seized upon and carried away by Hunscott; his Wife and six children turned out of doors, and threatned to be tried by an high Court of In-justice. When it appear'd, those of rebellious Principles were strangely nettled at it, especially when they saw, that the Author had discovered (in p. 33. as well as in the Frontispiece of the Book) that Hugh Peters was the disguized Villain, that cut off this blessed King's Head. Who the Author was, I cannot say, ac My learned and therefore, as I said, the Word is properly used of him) in p. 100. of a very loyal, and very scarce little Book (consisting of six Sheets and an half, and printed in 12°. at London A.

By a Person of Honour. I say this word boon for a blessing is properly us'd in this little Book, this excellent Prince being certainly one of the greatest Blessings ever bestowed upon these Kingdoms, tho' his Rebellious Subjects made a very ill use of it. The Stationer in the Preface to this small, but very valuable, Treatise quaints us (that I may observe this by the way) that it was penn'd many years before it came out, and was sent over from the Hague to be Printed here, for his Majestie's service; but that 'twas hindered (till after the Restauration) upon this occasion. The Printer, to whose care it was commended, fell into some trouble, for some Acts of Loyalty, which were then call'd Treason; such as were the Printing K. Charles the 1st's incomparable Book, intituled ΕΙΚΩΝ ΒΑΣΙΛΙΚΗ, in Friend Mr. Baker of Cambridge suspects it to have been done by Clem. Walker, Esq; whose third Part of the History of Independency bears the like Title, viz. The High Court of Justice, or Cromwel's New Slaughter House &c. but it was printed before the year 1660. and reprinted that year in 4to. and nothing is there. said of Hugh Peters being the Executioner, who tho' he had guilt enough to deserve hanging, yet (in the Trial of the Regicides) seems to clear himself of that part of the charge, by by proving, he was sick in his Bed all the day of the King's Murther, and the Judges seem to absolve him from that Crime, tho' it was sworn a gainst him. Indeed that seems to me to be very true, which is observ'd by William Lilly the Astrologer in his Life, written by himself, which I have seen, under his own hand, in the Ashmolean Mu. séum, viz. that Lieutenant Collonel Joyce was the very person, that did this barba rous. Execution; nor can I think, that any will look upon it as at all improbable, that shall consider the impu dence of that vile Fellow, and how he was prompted and instigated to undertake this villanous Action by that ArchRebell, Oliver Cromwell, who was as great an Enemy to the Church of England, as this King was a Friend to it, it being his sincere Affection to this excellent Church (the Rights of which he would not give up) that brought him to the Block, a thing which Bishop Andrews had predicted many years before it happened, as may appear from an authen. tick Paper (transcribed from a MS. in the Ashmolean Muséum, and given to me, by borowe, borrow, to be surety, to undertake. boste, aloud, with boasting, with ostentation. bot, but, except, unless, booty, compensation. bot if, unless. bot if he, unless he, but and he. bote, boot, booty, compensation, remedy, recompence, bit, managed, bout, punished, boded, shewed. boper, p. 194. brother, quo modo etiam plane legendum. botlers, butlers. bouh, bow, stoop. bouke, back, chine. boule, bowle. boun, bound. & to the boun redy with him to fight, p. 70. and full ready to fight with him. idem plane est boun quod paratus, adeo ut firmet vocem redy mox sequentem, haudque aliud proinde sit quam full vel valde.

Paris, anno 1237. 4 describes thus: In bulla domini Papæ stat imago Pauli, à dextris crucis in medio bullæ figuratæ, & Petri à sinistris: nulla tamen inter tantos sanctos est orta unquam contentio, ambo enim sunt Verunta in coæquali gloria.

I. and is the same that is cited by the learned Mr. Dodwell 3, (to whom I had sent some Passages out of it :) Bulla, ut ait Papias, ornamentum est regalium puerorum, vel equorum, vel camelorum, quia hujusmodi ornamenta ponebantur circa colla eoru In signum eciam nobilitatis nobiles pueri portabant bullas, à collo pendentes.
