Description
Being in the White Lion in Stratford on 18 inst., he enquired of a gentleman who called himself Captain Thomas whither he was going - Thomas answered Ireland and Ward said he would go with him if he could have accommodation - Thomas said that accommodation there was very small but the Colonel would give him better satisfaction - Thomas said that Parliament was all faulty and any honest men were as bad as the rest because they were silent. - Parliament had sat for 2 years and had done nothing - they had purged out better than they had left in - examination of John Simpson, soldier in Captain George Palmer's troop - being likewise in the company of the said Thomas, he heard Thomas question what Parliament had done for two years - all save 6 were self-seeking men - Parliament had refused the widows' petition but the same day dealt themselves £50,000
