    the beginning , of p . 412 . ( 4 ro . ) concludes in the following terms : ( H . - iii . 35 . ) u After such a real necessity , as she ( Mrs * H . ) made it appear to him , ( Secretary Bennett , afterwards Earl of Arlington ) there was of : uffering persons to come to nne , to treat of the concernments of ray estate , it booted her not to urge the danger of my health , # nd all

    other incoiivenienres which 1 suffered by being forced to make provision for my dispersed family in thee places , the intolerable charge of it , and th £ impossibility of procuring supplies while I was kept thus . All this was neglected , and wrought no other effect , but to turn the undeserved oppressions 1 groan under , into ks unjust reproach upon me .

    } I had not written this Narrative , but that I understand , now , after twentytwo weeks close imprisonment in the Tower , instead of being brought to a legal trial , or set at liberty , I am to be removed from hence to another prison ; and though the form and date of the

    warrant of my commitment close prisoner to the Tower of London , compared yrhh the day of my first being biought to town , together -with the times and manner of my examinations by Mr . Secretary Bennett , did clearly let me see how it was resolved I should

    be disposed of , before it could possibly be known whether I should appear guilty or innocent , if any accusation was given in against me , not having at that time , nor till some days after I had been close prisoner in the Tower ^ eve r been ex amined by any man , yet it being still

    more manifest by assigning me to a prison in a place so remote from my family and affairs , and so dangerous to my infirm constitution , to say nothing of the intpkrable charge as that is to which I near I must go ; And indeed neither this where yet I am , whilst I am close kept up , nor scarce any other isle or castle that I know of , will be much less

    mischievous to me in those respect * . I hold it a duty I owe to my own innocence , to publish this Narrative , whether 1 be gent away or stay in this prison , jit r ^ S SSfeklly destructive to my life and

    It appears by the Memoirs that Colonel H . remained at least two or three weeks longer in the Tower . During this time he was embroiled in a vexatious dispute with the principal officer , who wanted neU ther the means nor the inclination

    to gratify his resentment . Of this transaction Mrs , H . gives the following account in a passage to which I have already referred . " The Lieutenant caused a little dressing box , whichthe Collonell had , to he open'd , and tooke away all the papers he found in it , among which there was one wherein the Collonell had written a verse out

    of the 43 d Psalme , it was the first verse , to be joined with a Narrative of his imprisonment , that he had provided to leave behind him for the satisfaction of his friends . This paper Robinson

    ( the Lieutenant ) carried to Court , and said that by the deceitful and unjust man the Collonell intended the King , although the application was of his chtin making , ' * Mem . p . \ %% .

    From the manner irMvhich Mrs . ^ i , mentions the narrative , it is probable she was not aware that it had been printed , as Col . H , was presently hurried away to Sandovvn Castle , in Kent , according to the tender mercies of those resentful

    statesmen , whom modern ministers have not scrupled to imitate , that he might be as far as possible from the good offices of his former associates . There be died 11 th September , 1664 , exactly eleven months aiter his seizure at
