the fea, they were almoft froze to death. Thus did these poor miferable fellows live for thirteen or fourteen days. After they got the pork, they made a kind of net with a hoop, fome fhingles, and ropes, which they got from the maft: this they let into the fea, with fome pork, and caught a few fmall fish, which, with two or three mice they caught on board the brig, afforded them several most delicious repafts, raw as they were: this lafted but a few days, as they could not catch any more; when they were obliged to return to their pork, which was become quite putrid by the falt water getting to it. To their great joy, on the ift of September, in lat. 26, 15, long. 70, 10, at four o'clock in the afternoon, they could juft perceive a veffel to windward of them, which feemed to ftand fome time for them, but foon put about and ftood from them: it was then they defpaired, as that morning they had drank the laft bottle of their beer, and that one was all they had, for that day they worked hard to get at the cafks of water in the hold, but they were fo far from them, that they could not have got at them in a long time. About fun half an hour high, the veffel ftood for them, and came fo mear that they perceived a piece of canvas that they on the wreck fupported on a board, bore down for it, and about feven or eight o'clock took them on board; the was the brig Norwich, captain Robert Noyes. Thus were they relieved, when death ftared them in the face, by a captain who ufed them very kindly, gave them food and cloaths, as their own were rot. ted off their backs, washed their fores, and gave them plafters, as they were almoft raw from head to foot with the heat of the fun and falt water, which, in many places, had eaten holes in their flesh. The following piece is faid to have beed found lately among fome papers that formerly belonged to Ôliver Cromwel; and is fuppofed to be a copy of the very words which he spoke to the members of the long parliament, when he turned them out of the house. It is communicated by a perfon, who figns his name T. Ireton, and fays the paper is marked with the fol lowing words; "Spoken by O. C. when he put an end to the long parliament." Τ IT to put is high time for me to put an end to your fitting in this place; which ye have difhonour. ed by your contempt of all vir. tue, and de filed by your practice of every vice. Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.-Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would, like Efau, fell your country for a mefs of pottage, and, like Judas, betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a fingle virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice ye do not poffefs?-Ye have no more religion than my horse-Gold is your God.-Which of you have not bartered away your confciences for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that hath the leaft care for the good of the commonwealth? Ye fordid proftitutes! have ye not defiled this facred place, and turn ed ed the Lord's Temple into a den of thieves?-By your immoral principles and wicked practices ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You who are deputed here by the people to get their grievances redreffed, are yourselves become their greatest grievance. Your country threfore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean ftable by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this houfe; and which, by God's help, and the ftrength He hath given me, I am now come to do. I command you, therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place. Go! Get ye out! Make hafte! Ye venal flaves, be gone! -Soh!-Take away that thining bauble there, and lock up the doors.'
