 The following Life of Sir Philip Musgrave, Bart, 
 is replete with interest not only to the inhabitants of 
 Cumberland and Westmorland, with which counties 
 he was more immediately connected, but to all who 
 value the History of bye-gone ages and the Biogra- 
 phy of those illustrious persons who have shed glory 
 on the annals of our country. 
 
 The work is now first printed from a MS. in the 
 possession of Sir George Musgrave, Bart, by the Kev. 
 Gilbert Burton, vicar of Edenhall, where Sir Philip 
 chiefly resided. Some additions are made in the 
 Appendix which give greater interest to the volume . 
 — the letter written to his Lady when he was suffer- 
 ing for his loyalty by confinement in Carlisle — so 
 beautifully illustrative of his affectionate kindness, 
 loyalty, and piety — will be read with deep interest ; 
 and the Writ from Charles II. conferring on him 
 the dignity of a Baron (which, however, has not 
 been assumed by his family) shews the high opinion 
 entertained of his services by a monarch who was 
 justly grateful for his sufferings in the cause of his 
 Royal Father. 
 
 The Ilev. Thomas Musgrave, M. A. who is repeat- 
 edly mentioned in the following pages, was educated 
 in Queen's College, Oxford, of which house he be- 
 came a Fellow, and took his degree of M.A.May 5,

 1662. He was collated to the archdeaconry of 
 Carlisle on the 25th of March, 1668, and to the third 
 prebendal stall in that cathedral, in the following 
 year. On the 12th of July, 1675, he was installed 
 prebend of Durham, being the first prebendary ap- 
 pointed by Bishop Crewe, and in the following month^ 
 he was collated to the rectory of Whitburn, co. Dur- 
 ham. In 1676, he resigned his stall in Carlisle cathe- 
 dral, and in 1681 became prebendary of Chichester. 
 In 1682, he resigned the archdeaconry of Carlisle, 
 and was presented to the deanery in October, 1684. 
 He became B. and D.D. in October 1685. Dr Mus- 
 grave died on the 28th of March, 1686, and was 
 buried in the cathedral church of Durham, where 
 there is a black marble monument erected to his 
 memory, bearing the following inscription : — 
 
 Here lyes interred 
 THOMAS MUSGliAVE, D. D. 
 
 Dean of Carlisle, and late 
 Prebendary of this cathedral. 
 He was ye 5th [6th] son of Sr PhUip Musgrave 
 Of Hartley castle, in y^ county of Westmor- 
 land, Bart -sviio dyed the 28th of March, 
 
 1686, in ye 47th year of his age. 
 
 He first marryed Mary, ye daughter of Sir 
 
 Thomas Harrison, of Allertliorpe, in the county 
 
 Of York, Kt by whom he had issue Margaret : 
 
 His second wife was Ann, the daughter of 
 
 Sir Jo. Cradock, of Richmond, in ye s^l coimty, Kt- 
 
 The Rev. Arthur Savage, M.A., (also mentioned 
 in the following pages) was rector cf Brougham, in 
 Westmorland, to which he was presented by Anne,
 
 PREFACE. VU 
 
 Countess of Pembroke, Dorset, and Montgomery ; 
 from this living he was ejected by Cromwell's com- 
 missioners, who, three years afterwards, restored it 
 to him; he then held it imtil the year 1655. In 
 1663 he was collated to the rectory of Caldbeck in 
 Cumberland, by Bishop Sterne, and in 1660, he was 
 presented to the second prebendal stall in the cathe- 
 dral church of Carlisle. He repaired the church of 
 Caldbeck, and was a great benefactor to the chapter 
 of Carlisle : by his will he left 50/. to the parish of 
 Caldbeck. He died in 1700, and was interred at 
 Caldbeck. 
 
 The Rev. Henry Hutton, M.A. was a son of Sir 
 Richard Hutton, Knt. Justice of the court of Com- 
 mon Pleas. In 1640, he was instituted to the rec- 
 tory of Marton, in Westmorland. He was a person 
 of learning and piety, and in 1643, was collated to 
 the fourth stall in the cathedral church of Carlisle, 
 by Archbishop Usher, who held that see in com- 
 mendam. He was ejected from his living by the 
 commissioners of Cromwell ; and it is said, would 
 have been promoted to the episcopal see of Carlisle 
 at the Restoration, had he not died a few months 
 before that event. His library, in which was a col- 
 lection of the Fathers, in Greek and Latin, came by 
 the favour of the Rev. Arthur Savage, one of the 
 prebendaries, into the possession of the dean and 
 chapter, and was the foundation of their present 
 well-furnished library.

 THE LIFE 
 
 OF 
 
 ^iv ^1^1 Up iUmqvuiit, "BslvU 
 
 Few Persons how meane soever but desire to know 
 y*' manner of Life and most remarkable passages 
 in y^ course of their Progenitors ; — therefore, for 
 the satisfaction of those that have nearest relation 
 to S' Philip Musgrave, of Hartley Castle, in the 
 County of Westraoorland, Baronett; I have col- 
 lected into a short, plaine, and true narative, his 
 most considerable concernment as followeth. 
 
 Hee was borne atEdenhall, in y^ County of Cum- 
 berland, May 21st, 1607, and baptized in y^ Parish 
 Church. His Father, Sir Richard Musgrave, was 
 son of Christopher Musgrave, Esq'^^ who married 
 Jane, Daughter of S'' Henry Curwen, of Working- 
 ton, K' and died in ye infancy of his Son Richard, 
 and during y<= life of his Father, S'^ Simon Musgrave, 
 K' a Person of very eminent worth and esteem in 
 his Country, and who had other three Sons, Gallant 
 Gentlemen. Christopher had Julian, married to John 
 Skelton, of Armathwaite, Esq'^^ ; Alary died a Maid; 
 Margeret married to Francis Whitfield, Gentl"- 
 
 After y'= death of S'' Simon, Richard, his Grand- 
 child, became ward to Philip, Lord Wearton, who 
 married him (being about fourteen years of age) to 
 Frances his Youngest Daughter, and gave him breed- 
 ing both in this Nation and abroad, suitable to his 
 quality. He proved a fine Gentleman, good natured, 
 aflfable, generous, a good linguist, and well skilled

 in Heralldry, in which he much delighted. He was 
 well esteemed by his Prince King James, who cre- 
 ated him K' of y'^ honorable order of y"^ Bath, and 
 afterwards Baronett, Anno 1611. He had a good re- 
 pute in his country, in which he served as Justice of 
 Peace and Quorum, and satt in Parlament as K' of 
 y'^ Shire for y'' County of Westmoreland, and was a 
 deputy-Leue tenant to y*^ noble and valiant George, 
 Earle of Cumberland, his Ladys uncle, and Brother 
 to Francis Clifford, after his death Earle of Cumber- 
 land, and to y^ Lady Francis, a prudent and vertuous 
 Lady, married to Philip, L' Wharton. 
 
 When Sir Eichard Musgrave was about Thirty 
 years of age, he took a resolution to spend some 
 more time in travill : w' inclined him to it is not 
 certainly knowne ; some doe conjecture it proceed- 
 ed from a Private discontent; others ware of 
 opinion it was to shake off some companions (that 
 he had no reputation by conversing w** all,) and by 
 breaking up house to abate his expences and pay 
 his Depts. Hee went to France, from thence to 
 Rome, where a fever took him ; by advice of Phi- 
 sitions Hee was removed to Naples, and died pre- 
 sently after his coming thither (about a year after 
 his leaving England.) By y'^ care of my Lo<i Cav- 
 endish, son to y* Earle of Devonshire, (his com- 
 panion in travill,) he was handsomely intered in 
 y'= chief church at Naples, which occasioned a con- 
 jecture y* he dyed a Boman Catholick. 
 
 Hee left behind him but one son, S"" Philip, a 
 tender child not seven years of age, and one daugh- 
 ter about three years older than her brother. His 
 Widdow (then about twenty-five years of age) was a 
 Lady of great virtue, witt, and spirit, one y' so pas- 
 sionatly loved her husband, as w*'* excessive greev- 
 ing for his death, she contracted so deep a Melan- 
 choly as to her dying day she was not recovered out 
 of it, notwithstanding she was long in y* hands of 
 Mf Butler, y*^ most famous Phisitian of y' age. 
 
 Her father, L^ Wharton who was Guardian to
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. 3 
 
 S"" Philip, as he had been formerly to his Father, 
 took care of her and her children. The Daughter, 
 M""* Mary Musgrave, his Lo? sent to his eldest 
 Daught3r, married to Edward, Lord Wotton, privy 
 Councellor and Treasurer of y*^ household to King: 
 James ; she, a lady of most noble Nature and Parts, 
 received her niece and did educate her as if she had 
 been her own Daughter. S'' Philip was kept in 
 y"^ Lord Wharton's house about 3 years, then sent to 
 y*^ house of Judge Ilutton, and here with his chil- 
 dren kept at school until he was sixteen years old, 
 then sent to Peter-house in Cambridge. 
 
 His sickly body was an hindrance to his learning 
 at y*^ Gramar Schoole and at y^ University. Hee 
 continued his stay at Cambridge scarce a yeare, 
 y*^ air not agreeing with him. 
 
 After a visitt made to his Aunt, y<= Lady Wotton, 
 and his sister (that had been then ten years with 
 her LaPP) hee came into y'= North to do his duty to 
 his Mother and Grandfather y*^ L** Wharton. Hee 
 continued with them about six months, in which 
 time his only sister, M''* Mary Musgrave, dyed at 
 y^ house of the U Wotton, and at the charge of 
 her Aunt was decently intered in Christ's Church at 
 Canterbury, and a marble stone laid over her grave, 
 and an inscription relating to her quality and 
 y« time of her departing this miserable world. Her 
 death was y*^ first considerable cross Her Brother, 
 S"^ Philip, was sensible of, (for he loved her entirely 
 as she well deserved,) for she was a person beauti- 
 ful m mind and body, of a sweet temper and dispo- 
 sition, virtuous and religious, as was well-known to 
 many persons of quality amongst whom she lived 
 and dyed a virgin in y'= floor of her age, having 
 lived about twenty years. 
 
 After her death he went to Trinity Colledge in 
 Oxford, when he contracted a friendship y' proved 
 to be of long continuance with M"" Craven, after- 
 wards Lord Craven, well-known by his gallant be- 
 
 A 2
 
 4 TUE LIFE Of 
 
 haviour in y'= German Wars, and his constant 
 respect to the Queen of Bohemia and hers. 
 
 S"" Philip rcmaniing about nine months at Oxford, 
 had Notice given him of y"^ sickness of his Grand- 
 father, y^ L'' Wharton, who was then at Maston, 
 y*' house of M'' AVilllam Thwaites (who married 
 Eleanor his lordship's second Daughter.) S"' Philip 
 then resolved of a Journey to him and came thither 
 about four days before his Lop'^ death. Hee did by 
 writing under his hand and Scale, make an assign- 
 ment of S' Philip's Wardship to himself; died y^ 
 same day and was buried in Kelaugh Church, in 
 y^ tombe of his Ancestors (the same day or next 
 day after y« death of King James.) 
 
 The providence of God in guiding S"" Philip in 
 this Journey was very remarkable, for he had ap- 
 pointed with Judge Plutton to meet him in his 
 return from his westerne circuit, and to accompany 
 him into Yorkshire, but S"" Philip or his Servant 
 mistook y^ Week, and came into Yorkshire six days 
 before Judge Hutton came, which fell out to be 
 y« day after the Lord Wharton died. Had S'' Philip 
 staid so long. He had' probably come short of 
 y*^ grant of his own wardship, and disputes might 
 have been raised among some near friends concern- 
 ing him, w'^^ were now prevented. 
 
 S"^ Philip was then not eighteen years old, as un- 
 experienced as young, had very few of his neare 
 friends y* took in hand to advise him. Hee had a 
 very intangled and disordered Estate, his mother 
 unable to do any thing for herself in worldly affairs 
 or to advise him. This moved him to think of 
 setling himself at home (before he was ripe for it.) 
 
 Hee then removed his Mother to Hartley Castle, 
 and about nine months after married. Anno 1625, 
 Julian youngest daughter of his old Friend S'' Richard 
 Hutton, one of the Judges of y^ Common Pleas, in 
 whose house he settled himself and Mother, and 
 lived happily y*^ space of three years ; in which time 
 was born Richard his Eldest Son. The same year
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVi;, BART. 5 
 
 he went and kept house at Hartley Castle. The 
 year after, Philip his second son was born, and his 
 Mother, y« lady Francis Musgrave, died in this year 
 and was buried in the tombe ot'y'^ Whartons by her 
 Mother at Kirkby-Stephen. 
 
 Hee was then made Justice of the Peace and 
 Quorum in y*^ Counties of Cumberland and West- 
 merland, and lived in repute an honest man ; 
 Though, he was then held not active, and much 
 short of others in solidity and understanding in 
 matters of the world which himself apprehended as 
 well as any, and therefore was with some uuvvilling- 
 ness engaged in public affairs ; but he had y*^ good 
 fortune to be joined in with S"^ Chris. Dalston, and 
 Antho. Hutton, of Penrith, Esq'' his Wifes near 
 Kinsmen and his constant friends, very knowing 
 and honest Gentlemen. Several ether able men 
 v.'ere at y' time in Authority in these Counties, from 
 whom he had civil respects ; and about y"^ time he 
 had a commission (unsought on his part) sent to 
 him by Theophilus, Earle of SufTolke, to be a De- 
 puty-leuetenant in Westmoreland. 
 
 He had a melancholly disposition and Weak body, 
 not much addicted to those pleasures which young 
 Gentlemen commonly accustom themselves too. 
 His Geuious led him most to y^ repairing of his 
 Houses, and bringing his Estate into some better 
 order than he found it, for he paid many debts 
 which his father left upon it, and endeavoured to 
 Stock his Grounds, thereby to bring his revenue to 
 y® hight from which in the time of his Wardship it 
 was much fallen. About y"^ space of seven years 
 following, hee lived in this sort, suitable to his 
 quality and fortune, and in this time his wife bore 
 to him Christopher Musgrave and AVilliam (who 
 died when he was one year old and buried in 
 Edenhall Church) and Simon his lift Son. Hee 
 was about y^ time by Francis, Earle of Cumber- 
 land, and Henry, L*^ Clifford, his Son, made Depu- 
 ty-leueteuant in Cumberland.
 
 6 THE LIPE OF 
 
 Then began y^ troubles in Scotland, about y« Book 
 of Common Prayer. This Cloud w'^'* at y'^ first rising 
 secm'd no bigger than a man's hand, in a short time 
 made dark the whole Hemisphere of Great Britain, 
 and ingendred a storm which ushered in such a de- 
 luge of civil war as y'= unparaleld sad events to y"^ 
 Church and State in all y^ three Kingdoms, will 
 never be forgotten. 
 
 In the begining of these sad times, died Judge 
 Ilutton, who had lived in peaceable dayes, and end- 
 ed his life in quiet, Having attained to fullness of 
 days and true honour; for he was no other than he 
 was esteemed, a wise and just man, sociable among 
 his neighbours, given to hospitallity, charitable to 
 y'= poor, and most affectionate to his children. Whilst 
 he lived he was many ways a great help and support 
 to his son in law S'' Philip. 
 
 When King Charles marched with his Army to 
 Barwick, The L*^ Clifford, being one of y^ Leueten- 
 ants for y* four Nothern Counties, appointed S'' 
 Philip Musgrave Collonell of y* tramed band regi- 
 ment of foote ill Cumberland and Westmoreland, 
 by Commissions to y* same purpose by y* Earl of 
 Arundall, (att y' time general of his Mat'*^* army 
 Eoyall,) this command was confirmed to S"" Philip, 
 and he appointed with these forces to secure Carlile, 
 which he performed, and by y"^ order of y*^ L'^ Clif- 
 ford, there present, left ittoS'' Francis Willoby who 
 commanded y'= Irish regiment. 
 
 Hee was then appointed with his own company to 
 Garrison Scaleby Castle upon y*^ Borders (and there 
 he had his first and last pay from his then Ma*y) and 
 kept y' Quarter untill the pacification, and y*^ dis- 
 banding of his Ma^'*^'* Army. 
 
 In the end of this year a parliament was called, 
 and S'" Philip Musgrave and S'' Plenry Bellingham 
 returned Knights of y* Shire for Westmoreland. 
 About August foregoing was Borne Thomas, 
 youngest Son to S'' Philip Musgrave. The Parlia- 
 ment did not sitt above twenty days. And new
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. / 
 
 preparations were in hand both in England and Scot- 
 land for War. 
 
 After y'' Scotch Army was advanced as far as 
 Newcastle, a parliament is again summoned, and 
 S'' Philip Musgrave and S"" Henry Bellingham 
 chosen Kn'* of y^ Shire as formerly (not w"^out 
 strong opposition from S"" John Lowther and his 
 Friends, as was in y* former election.) 
 
 This Parliament proved of long continuance, and 
 fatall to these Kingdoms. S'' Philip, in April, '42, 
 left y^ House, for y^ proceedings therein were not 
 agreeable to his conscience, and y*^ affronts offered 
 by y'= tumultious Londoners to several members, 
 might satisfy any man's Judgement, that dissenting 
 members could promiss to themselves no personal 
 security in that place. So he attended his Aunt 
 Lady Wotton to his House at Edenhall, and return- 
 ed no more to y' Parliam'- in y'= begining of w<=^ 
 (1641) was born, Frances his only Daughter. 
 
 He then removed his own Family to Hartley, and 
 went hiraselfe to Yorke to y'' King, who made him 
 of y'= Quorum ; in y*= commissions of Array for Cum- 
 berland and Westmorland. ¥*= Gentlemen of these 
 two Counties did with much alacrity submitt to 
 y"^ execution of this commission, and made provis- 
 sions of Armes and Amunition, and declared them- 
 selfes for the King, againt all those y' took up 
 Armes w'^'out his Authority. 
 
 When y*^ Earle of Newcastle came with his Army 
 into Yorkshire, They stood on y'= defensive part 
 against those in Armes for y* Parliament in Lan- 
 cashire and y"^ adjacent parts of Yorkshire : yet at 
 y*^ same time they sent 300 foot under y*^ command 
 of S"" Timothy Fetherston to Yorke, also some com- 
 panies under S"" Will. Hudleston's command. 
 
 Notwithstanding this, some persons in y* Lord 
 of Newcastle's Army, who were pleased with nothing 
 but violent courses, charged them generally with 
 Naturality [neutrality.] This discouraged not at 
 all these Gentlemen wlio continued in their course,
 
 8 THE LIFE OP 
 
 and though some of them it may be were inclined to 
 have been more active, it had been in prudence to 
 have hazarded y*^ making of such men enemies, who 
 professed and acted as friends. 
 
 In y^ year '44, y'= Marquis of Newcastle (who 
 had formerly by his commissions given S"" Philip 
 Musgrave y" command of a troop of Horse, and re- 
 giment of Foot,) now by a commission made him 
 Commander in chief of y« two Counties ; w'^'^'^ some 
 of his countrymen did not well digest, as was more 
 aparent when y^ King's affairs in the North did 
 some what decline ; but this envy being discovered 
 by themselves, reflected more upon their own repu- 
 tations then his. 
 
 When y^ Lord Newcastle advanced with his Army 
 to Newcastle against y*^ Scotch, There were sent 
 unto him out of Cumberland and Westmoreland 
 1800 foot, all levied in Cumberland and Westmore- 
 land by S'' Philip Musgrave and y* other Commis- 
 aioners in those Counties. 
 
 In y« same year, when Prince Rupert march'd 
 with his Army to relieve York, S'' Philip Musgrave 
 sent into his Army 1000 foot. After y'' unfortunate 
 battle at Hepsammoor, and y* York was delivered 
 to y^ Parliament, S'' Thomas Glenham who was Ge- 
 neral of y^ Northern Counties, retreated with some 
 broken troops into Cumberland, where he Quartered 
 very few weeks, imtily*^ Scotch forces under y^ com- 
 mand of General David Lesley came tbither. S'' 
 Thomas Glenham douted y^ constancy of the Coun- 
 try People, who did discover some disafection, and 
 observing the Gentlemen in Command to have 
 some discontents and misunderstandings amongst 
 them, Hee thought fit to retire into Carlile, and to 
 disband y'' foot raised in that County. S"" Philip 
 Musgrave and other Gentlemen of y*^ Country and 
 some straingers retreated to Carlile, and then some 
 English troops in the regiment of one Wren, a Par- 
 liament co'Un y^ County of Durham, took there op- 
 portunity a* y^ same time y* y^ Scotch Horse came
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. » 
 
 into Cumberland, and came to Hartly, and finding 
 only some few servants of S"^ Philip Musgrave, they 
 plundered y" House, and drive away his flocks of 
 sheep, all his cattle and Horses young and old (and 
 at y' time he had a very good breed) took away 500 
 Stone of Wool), and all his Corn within doors and 
 without; his Loss at y* time did amount to above 
 £3000 besides y^ loss of his Stock at Edenhall, and 
 y^ sequestering of what remained, real and personal, 
 to y^ parliament's use. 
 
 Y^ Garrison of Carlile was nine months beseeged 
 by y^ Scotch and some English, and when provisions 
 was so scarce as y' most of those in y*^ Garrison did 
 eat Horses Flesh, Sir Thomas Glenham did render 
 the Castle and City to y^ Scotch, having honorable 
 conditions from them. 
 
 S"" Philip had spent much out of his private purse 
 in these public affairs, and death had deprived him 
 of some of his best Friends since the beginning of 
 Y*^ War. The lady Hutton, his mother-in-law, left 
 the World and the sad condition she lived in, Anno 
 42. She tenderly affected him, and his, and was many 
 ways beneficial to them. 
 
 Y^ Earl of Cumberland died at York, an. — Hee 
 was y^ hist Earle of y' Noble Family, always loved 
 S' Philip very well and had much confidence in him; 
 and now S"" Philip's whole Estate was taken from 
 him : however he would not think at y*^ time of 
 making hi^ peace (as many then did, and compound- 
 ed for their Estates) but he with many other Nor- 
 thern Gentlemen did march away with S'' Thomas 
 Glenham towards y® King, having a convoy of all 
 those horse imder y'' command of David Lesley 
 y' had besieged Carlile. 
 
 Y* convoy left them near Worster, and they found 
 y« King at Cardifl"in Wales, S'' Henry Fletcher, S-^ 
 Thomas Dacres, and most of y^ Gentlemen in y® 
 North y' came along with y^ Scotch convoy, did re- 
 quest his Ma'y y' they might attend him in one troop 
 under y^ command of S"^ Philip Musgrave, which 
 
 B

 was granted, and they attended y* King in this way 
 untill in September following, his Ma'^ being in 
 Chester, most of his Troops wear broken and scater- 
 ed at Eoutenmoore by Co" Points, Major Generall 
 in Yorkshire for y* Parliament. 
 
 The Persons of Note of y^ King's Party y' were 
 kill'' were, y'' Earl of Litchfield, S'' Henry Fletcher, 
 Baronett, M"^ Philip Howard, and several other 
 officers and Gentlemen. There were taken prison- 
 ers, S"^ Thomas Goore, S'' Thomas Dacres, S'' Philip 
 Musgrave, all wounded (as many others were 
 y' escaped,) especially of S"" Philip Musgrave's 
 Troope. Many other prisoners were taken and sent 
 to several prisons. S"^ Philip Musgrave and 
 S"" Thomas Goore were sent with a Guard to York, 
 and were there imprisoned y* space of five weeks. 
 
 His wife came from Edenhall to visitt him at 
 ye very same time when S"" Richard Hutton, High 
 Sherif of Yorkshire for y* King, her Eldest brother, 
 was slain at the fight at Sherburne ; his body was 
 brought to Goldsbrough and entered in y^ parish 
 church, near to his Mother. Hee was very ration- 
 all, sociable, and generally well beloved as any 
 Gentleman in Yorkshire, and his death lamented by 
 many of y*^ contrary party. 
 
 Shortly after, S"" Philip and S'' Tho. Goore were 
 removed to Pontefract-castle (y* plague being then 
 in y^ town and in some adjacent villages,) S"^ Thomas 
 Goore w"'in three months time, obtained liberty, 
 paying his ransom ; but that favour was not allowed 
 to S"" Philip till about y'^ end of the year of his being 
 taken, then Poynts, being upon his remove, accepted 
 y^ same summe as was paid by S' Thomas Goore, 
 who was look'd upon as a Co" reformade. At this 
 time y^ King was at Newcastle in y*^ Scotch hands ; 
 thither S'' Philip went immediately to him, and staid 
 in Northumberland imtil his Ma'y was by y^ subjects 
 of his native Kingdom delivered into the hands of 
 his enemies. 
 
 In y* time of S' Philips imprissonment, some of
 
 SIR PHILIP MOSGRAVE, BART. 11 
 
 his countrymen intending well to him, sent him an 
 acknowledgment under their hands, breefly to this 
 purpose, y' they did verily believe He took armes 
 for discharge of his conscience; y' He was constant 
 in his profession of y*^ protestant religion ; y' he 
 never employed any monies, leaved in these Coun- 
 ties, to his private use ; y' those under his command 
 did use noplunderingnor were allowed free quarter, 
 unless upon extream necessity. This was signed 
 by above 4900 persons, but S"" Philip made only use 
 of it to lye by him as a signall testimony of his neigh- 
 bours continued kindness to him. 
 
 After y'' King removed from Newcastle, S"" Philip 
 douting his safety if he went immediately home, 
 stepped aside privatly to y*^ borders, and continued 
 there and in Scotland about a mouth; thenreturned 
 to his house, and by means of some friends, had his 
 protection from Points confirmed by y« house of 
 Pears in Michalmas tearm after. He received a 
 privatt command from y<= King to repaire to him to 
 Hampton court, w'^'" immediately he did. The King 
 having notice thereof, sent him word secretly, that 
 it might occasion some trouble to him if he should 
 be taken notice of, to discourse with him. This was 
 prudence and kindness in y'= good King, for he was 
 then resolved of y« secret w'** drawing himself from 
 thence, and went through w"" it accordingly, y*= next 
 night save one ; and was by some hee trusted (as was 
 verily thought) drawn into a snare in y« Isle of 
 Weight. 
 
 S"" Philip then returned home and lived very re- 
 tiredly w"'out any personal molestation by those in 
 authority; but w^iim a few months, God exercised 
 him w"' troubles in his house, for he received no- 
 tice of y« sickness of his second son Philip, (then in 
 France with his elder brother,) a youth of a remark- 
 able sober temper, very ingenious, and from his 
 childhood addicted to piety and learning. He died 
 at Paris and was buried at Sharington, y*^ protestant 
 church a league from Paris. This loss his father

 took hevily, and it made a deeper impression in his 
 soul then any formerly worldly affliction ; but Gods 
 mercy and advise of his friends, brought him back 
 to y^ consideration of his duty to him y' gives and 
 takes according to his good ])leasure. 
 
 Y"^ year '47 drawing towards an end, y*= Earles of 
 Lowden, Lauerick, and Lauderdale, (commissioners 
 in England for y"^ Scotch nation) passed through 
 Cumberland to their Country, and sent to S"" Philip 
 Musgrave desiring to speak w"' him ; he attended 
 y™ in there way, and was informed by y™ of there 
 design to raise an army for y^ freeing y*^ King from 
 imprisonment, desired his assistance, and mvited 
 him to Scotland, He wiLhin a few days went to 
 Drumfreess, and there found S"" Marmaduke Lang- 
 dale. They went from thence to Edenbrough 
 (where a parlament was then silting.) 
 
 S'' Marmaduke had then commission from his High- 
 ness y* Prince of Wales to act as Co" Generall of 
 y^ five Northern Counties, w"^ power to give com- 
 missions. Many English Gentlemen resorted to 
 him, and S"" Philip Musgrave accepted from him a 
 commission to be commander in chief in Cumber- 
 land and Westmoorland, and Governour of Carlile, 
 w*='' place was seized on in this manner: S"" Philip 
 went to y*= borders, and some of his Countrymen 
 came secretly to him, and by his order sixteen men 
 entred Garble, and presently made y°'selves mas- 
 ters of y*^ place. Y^ chief persons in this bold en- 
 terprize were M"" George Denton, M"^ John Eglionby 
 M"" Oglethorpe, M'' Cape, li' \Vii> Wilson, and 
 others. This was done y"^ 29"' of April in y'= fatal! 
 year '48. There was then so great rain and uiiu suall 
 high floods, as S'' Philip could by no means pass 
 y« rivers until May the first (this he apprehended to 
 be ominous) but at his coming to Carlde many gen- 
 tlemen of y' county, and from severall other parts, 
 came spedily thither. 
 
 At y*^ same time, S"" Marmaduke surprised Bar- 
 wick, and gathered some forces in y' County, where
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGKAVE, BART. 13 
 
 he continued some 16 days, and then came into 
 Cumberland. Though most Gentlemen of y' County 
 had compounded for their estates, and in like sort 
 those of \\ estmoorland, yet they entered again so 
 actively into his Ma*>''* service as upon the last of 
 May there appeared in the field oOOO foot well armed, 
 and 800 Horse, all raised in these two small Coun- 
 ties. Then was S"" Philip Musgrave sent to Edin- 
 brough to give account to Duke Ilamleton of these 
 proceedings, and to request y'' advance ofy"^ Scotch 
 Army as was engaged. At his return he ibund 
 S"" Marmaduke retreating with his forces towards 
 Carlile, and Lambert, Major Gen" for y'= Parliament, 
 came from Yorkshire wuh a good body of horses 
 and some foot. The Scotch army delaying their 
 march, and Co" Generall Langdale, being limited by 
 his instruction not to eng;ige y'^ body of his army 
 •w'*>out advise from Duke ilamleton, sent some horse 
 into Northumberland, (w'='' were routed there) and 
 with the remaining troops and all his foot, he quar- 
 tered about Carlile. In this time Lambert did burne 
 severall old Castles in Cumberland, but upony^ ad- 
 vance ofy'^ Scotch Army, he retreated w"' much haste 
 into Yorkshire, leaving a garrison in Appleby Castle. 
 S"" Philip Musgrave then, by order from S'' Marma- 
 duke Langdale (and as y^ King had appointed) gave 
 up y" Castle and City of Carlile to )■= dispose of 
 Duke Ilamleton, who placed in it a Scotch Garri- 
 son, and left S"^ William Leveston governour, a 
 Scotch man. When Appleby Castle was recovered, 
 and y'^ Scotch and English forces marched into Lan- 
 cashire, S"" Philip was appointed to stay in West- 
 moorlaiid and Cumberland (att y* time much 
 impoverished places.) Few men were left w''> him, 
 but after y'^ overthrow at Preston, and S'' Marmaduke 
 Langdale's imprisonment, the broken troops y' es- 
 caped from thence, and some other English y' had 
 not gott up to y' engagement, came into Westmoor- 
 land; with these Co" Munroe and his Scotch and 
 Irish (who swept out of these Counties w' Duke
 
 14 THE LIFE OF 
 
 Hatnleton's Army had left, and so march'd back into 
 Scotland,) refusing to join w"' y^ Englisli who march- 
 ed as far as Barwick, expecting a conjunction w'** 
 y^ Lord Laurick's Forces in Scotland ; but their 
 offer was rejected : they then finding no other place 
 of retreat return'd to Cumberland. 
 
 S"" J-'hilip Musgrave did propound at y' time to 
 y« Governour of Carlile an uniting y*^ interests of 
 y^ Scotch and English in and about Garble ; and 
 articles to this purpose were agreed on and signed 
 by S"" Philip; but when it came to y'' governour to 
 sign, he did refuse (although S"" Philip did profer to 
 lay into y*^ town suflicient provission of Victuall, and 
 not to intrench at all upon y'' Governour's com- 
 mand.) S'' Philip had then with him about 800 horse, 
 1200 foot, vi''^'' wear sufficient so to have defended 
 Carlile, as Crumwell w"* his forces would not have 
 so suddenly left the North and marched to London 
 to break y*^ treaty with y^ King at y*^ Isle of Weight. 
 Y'' English troops y' were then in Cumberland 
 begun to grow factious, and daily some of them and 
 many of y*^ foot souldiers left their coulors to shift 
 for y™selves. When S'' Philip Musgrave perceived 
 this, and had intelligence from his Agents in Scot- 
 land that Argilu and Laurick were agreed, Hee ac- 
 cepted of a treaty w"' Major Gen" Ashton (who 
 commanded for y*^ Parliament y^ Lancashire Forces, 
 and had at y* time in Cumberland about 2000 horse 
 and foot). Whilst the commissioners of both parts 
 wear treating, news is brought y' y"^ L** Laurick had 
 conditioned w^'' Leue"' Gen" Crumwell, for y'^ giv- 
 ing up into his hands y'= Garrison of Earwick and 
 Carlile ; y' Barwick was already delivered ; and 
 some forces upon there march, for receiving into 
 their hands y^ city of Carlile. This proved all true, 
 and at y*^ same time a party of those y' were march- 
 ing to Carlile fellmto S"" Philip's horse quarters and 
 dispersed the most of y°^- 
 
 S'' Philip then having very few with him, and 
 y® enimie betwixt him and Appleby castle, made a
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVB, BART. 15 
 
 spedy close •w''» Major Gen" Ashton; from whome 
 he obtained conditions, Hon'*'*' enough for souldiera 
 in so desperate condition ; for by these articles, all 
 y^ officers were to march off with horse and arms, 
 and to have hberty to live peacebly at their own 
 houses, or peacebly to depart the nation \v"'in six 
 mouths space. Appleby castle (a ]>lace not tenable 
 against an army) was then delivered up ; the soul- 
 diers marching out wiih their armes, drums beating, 
 and coulers flying. The King had then no army nx 
 ye field in any of his Kingdoms. 
 
 S'^ Philip Musgrave, not having any confidence 
 in S'' Arthur Haslerig who commanded y'^ four 
 Northern Counties, would not stay in those parts, 
 but went into Lancashire commanded by Major 
 Gen" Ashton, who procured a confirmation in Par- 
 lament of y^ articles made by him. Notw"^stand- 
 ing S'' Arthur Haslerigg iraprissoued several gen- 
 tlemen included in y™ and sent a troop of horse 
 into Lancashire to sease on S"" Philip Musgrave ; 
 
 "111- ■ • O ' 
 
 but he, havmg notice of w' was intended, removed 
 himself Y^ very next morning after he was gone, 
 y"^ troop came to y'' place and searched y*^ house, 
 but found not him. (They were to have taken alive 
 or dead, for so 'twas reported was there orders.) 
 They took from his Lady (who was come thither to 
 see her husband) the poor horses she had borrowed 
 to ride upon. S"' Philip went quietly to London, 
 and there kept himself private until his friends had 
 procured from Leuet. Gen" Crumwell a protection 
 agreeable to his articles with Ashton. 
 
 Y<= next day after y« King was put to death, lice 
 left London, went toDover,and staying a few hours, 
 shiped himselfe for France, and landed safely at Ca- 
 lice y*^ next morning. There he found S"" Marma- 
 duke Langdale, and stayed with him six weeks; iu 
 which time y« English Parliament voted him to be 
 one of y'' eleven persons excepted for their lives and 
 estates. Of this number, y^ young King, and his 
 brother, y* Duke of York, were named y^ two first.
 
 16 THE LIFE OF 
 
 He then left Calice, went to Dunkirk, and so to 
 y^ Hague where y*^ King tlien was, attended by se- 
 veral Lords and Gentlemen of y'= English and Scctch 
 nations. Hee gave his Ma'^ and counsell aperticu- 
 lar and true account of his imployment in y*^ year 
 (''18 ;) and then waited at the Plague and in Braband 
 and Flanders, until his Ma'^'** remove to France, 
 where he intended a few days stay and so spidily to 
 pass to Ireland. His Ma*y desired to have S"" Philip 
 to follow him thither, and gave him a supply of 
 mony to defray y^ expenses in his journey ; but 
 y* King stayed longer with y'' Queen his Mother at 
 S' Germains than he had determined, till y"^ news 
 came of y*^ defeat of y'= Marquess of Ormond's Army 
 before Dublin. Y^ King then altered his course, 
 and shortly after went into y'= Isle of Jarsey. S'' 
 Philip Musgrave'continued at Paris about six weeks 
 after y*^ King's remove, and did see Sharington, and 
 shed a few tears over y*' grave of his son Phdip. 
 
 Y*^ posture ofy*^ King's affairs at y' time in all 
 places look'd very ill, and at y' season, S"" Edward 
 Herbert, S"" Marmaduke Langdale, and S'' Philip 
 Musgrave, thought most fitt to make a tender of 
 their service to his Ma'^' ; and to y"^ end took their 
 Journey from Paris to Jarsey. After S"" Philip 
 Musgrave had stayed there about Smonths, and that 
 y*' King had given his consent to a treaty to be held 
 ■yyth ye ^cotcli at Bredaw in March following, He 
 desired leave to go av-'ay a few days before y'^ King ; 
 intending to send a servant into England. His 
 Ma'y allow of it, only desired S"" Philip to be with 
 him at Bredaw. He therefore attended in Norman- 
 dy until y"^ King came y' way, and then went along 
 in his train in y*^ journey to Bredaw. It was about 
 10 weeks before all things were resolved in order 
 to his Ma'y^ reception in Scotland and his remove 
 out of Holland. He was pleased at y* time to give 
 to S'' Philip Musgrave a warrant under his hand 
 and seal, acknowledging his faithful service to y^ 
 King his father and himself, and ingaging himself
 
 sin PHir.IP MUSGRAVE, BART. 17 
 
 thereby to create S'' Philip a Baron of England, so 
 soon as his Ma^^ should be in possession of any one 
 of his three Kingdoms. W"» all it was his pleasure 
 that S'' Philip should go along w^'' him to Scotland. 
 The time y* S"" Philip was in Holland, he often met 
 with his old friend y*^ L"^ Craven, and received sea- 
 sonable favours from him. 
 
 The Prince of Orange provided three men of war 
 to transport y« King and y« English and Scotch L*** 
 y' attended him. 24 dayes they were tossed at sea 
 before they landed in Scotland. 
 
 The providence of God in y« Kings preservation 
 in this passage was very remarkable. After his 
 purpose to depart for Scotland was publickly known, 
 and y' some of his servants and of y'' Scotch com- 
 missioners were gone on ship board, the wind came 
 about contrary, and y^ King was forced to stay a full 
 week on shore in Holland. After 12 days tossing 
 at sea, y" Ship in which y^ King sailed wanted pro- 
 vision, and he resolved once to go ashore in 
 Norway ; but y^ determination was altered, only 
 -y^ shipps rid at anker 4 days near Hallegal, and 
 until fresh provisions were brought out of Yentland. 
 There were then about 18 English men of war upon 
 y*' coast of Scotland, waiting to entercept y'= King; 
 yet none ofy™ came in view of his ships; although 
 when y*^ King sailed in Murrey Frithe, 4 English, 
 ships at y"^ very same time came out of it, and pro- 
 vidence sent a very thick mist to shadow y"" from 
 discovering one another in their passing very near 
 to each other. 
 
 ¥•= King being safly landed in Scotland he sent 
 to y^ Parlament, then sitting at Edenbrough, a list 
 of his household, and with y™ the names of some 
 few noblemen and Gentlemen of England, w"'' his 
 Ma'>' desired might be considered w"' more y" com- 
 mon regard. But y*^ Parlament not allowing this 
 civility, did pass an Act to banish these and other 
 Gentlemen out of y^ Kingdom of Scotland, w^'' they 
 were to depart w"'in 8 days after publication of y*^ 
 
 c
 
 18 THE LIFE OP 
 
 Act. S"' Philip Musgraves name was in the list 
 which y*^ King sent ; and he and others did resolve 
 to w*''draw themselves ; but y*^ King did privately 
 assure y™ there would be no publication of y^ Act, 
 and desn-ed their stay. When y'= King went to y« 
 Army at Lethe, none of y'' English y* were named 
 in y"^ act of banishment were suffered to wait upon 
 him thither : so they despersed y^^selves where they 
 might live with lest charge ; for money grew scarce 
 w"^ them ; v/"^ y" King considering, did by letters 
 commend some of them to certain noblemen, his 
 friends, perticularly y'^ Earl of Clewland, and S'' Phi- 
 lip Musgrave to y" Earl of Perthe ; where they 
 stayd together about one month, untill after y'' Scotch 
 armys were so shamefully beaten at Dunbar. 
 
 They were very civily treated by y<= Earl of Perthe, 
 and y'^ Lord Drummon, his son; but S'' Philip, 
 growing weary of troubling others, went from thence 
 and sejourned in Aberdeen, Dunde, and other places, 
 waiting an opportunity to returne into Holland, and 
 serve some forain prince, supposing he could not be 
 longer of any use to his Ma^J' ; and to this purpose 
 he obtained an ample testimoniall and recomenda- 
 tion under y'= King's hand and seal. 
 
 Whilst he waited for y*^ opportunity of a conveni- 
 ent passage, y'^ King began to be in some hopes of 
 raising a new army in Scotland ; and S' Philip being 
 loath to put himselfe into an absolute incapacity of 
 serving his Ma'>'' resolved to stay a little longer and 
 attend y'^ event. But there was publication of y'= 
 Act for banishing y" English, and many had parti- 
 cular summons to depart y'^ Kingdom ; but few gave 
 obedience to it; for y« King did presently after 
 take more upon him, and his authority was more 
 considered ; a precise day was apponited for his 
 Coronation, and it was solemly performed at Scone 
 (where S'" Philip was present.) 
 
 Y<= King then thought fit to send him to y^ Earle 
 of Darby ; and committed to his care and trust, con- 
 tain private instructions touching his Ma*>* affairs.
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. 19 
 
 In February following, he took leave of the King 
 and went to Dunbarton to inquire after a ship, 
 wherein y'^ Marquis of Argile had offered him pas- 
 sage w^^ one Mr. Birkenhead, an English man, (for 
 whose conveyance into y^ Isle of Man his Loi' had 
 caused it to be prepared.) When S'" Philip came 
 to Dunbarton, Hee sent to y'' Lord Argile's Master 
 houshold concerning y"^ ship ; but receiving a very 
 uncertain answer, he and some English Gentlemen 
 w"^ him were about hiring an open boat, (for there 
 were not better vessals at Dunbarton,) when this 
 Birkenhead came to y" and assured y°» y'= Lord 
 Argiles shipp waited in readyness for him, and y* 
 his Lordship would take it ill if S"" Phihp refused 
 his LoP'* offer. So his motion was accepted, and he, 
 with other English, y<= next morning took a boat (at 
 y^ hour appointed by Argile's servant,) and having 
 gone six miles by water came to Grenock, where 
 they found y'' Ship in y'' Harbour, and y' it would 
 be three hours at lest before she could go out to sea ; 
 and Argile's master-houshold seemed doubtfull y' 
 some intelligence might have been given to y'= Eng- 
 lish troops y' Quartered near xx miles from y' place. 
 But when S' Philip told him if he apprehended such 
 Danger he would return to his boat, he then per- 
 swaded y"' to go to a house and refresh y^selves, 
 and he would have Scouts abroad to give timely 
 notice if there were any Danger, and added y* y^ 
 English troops never came to y*^ place, and y' there 
 were some troops of Scotch Dragoons quartered in 
 Grenock town and y' Parish, for security thereof. 
 
 So S' Philip and y" rest y' they might lose no 
 tyme, put there Goods aboard and attended about 
 3 hours, and would then have gone to y'^ ship, but 
 y'^ ^laster-houshold perswadedy'^ contrary, and took 
 upon him to go and bring notice when y« ship was 
 ready ; and desired y' in y^ meantime, none of y<^ 
 English Gentlemen or there servants might be seen 
 abroad in y"^ town; and, w"'out S"" Pliilips know- 
 ledge, forbid a visitt y* some Scotch Gentlemen in

 20 THE LIFE OF 
 
 ■y^ toune desired to have made to him. But by 
 good fortune, some servants to y*" EngHsh Gentle- 
 men having been at y'= ship, discovered a strong 
 party of English horse and gave immediately notice 
 to their master, who making as fast as they coulde 
 to y*^ ship, by a signe given by an honest blewcap, 
 they faced about and ran the other way, (they did 
 not well know whither)until by G ods providence they 
 perceived some Scotchmen getting in a little iisher 
 boat. S' Philip (in y*^ nick of time) waded to y'" ; 
 att first they refused to admitthim, but after y* they 
 knew him they suffered him, his servants, and two 
 others to enter into the boat. S'" Philip seeing an 
 English K* of his company and Birkenhead upon 
 y'^ shore, desired to have y™ in y*^ boat ; but y^ 
 Scotch Gentlemen refusing, whilst it is in dispute, 
 y*^ troopers having plundered y'= ship came gallop- 
 ing as fast as they could along y*^ shore towards 
 y* boat, which then was scarce got off when y<= 
 troopers fired their pistolls at those w'^in her. The 
 English K' S'' Theophilus Gilby, running to a little 
 wood, escaped being made prisoner; but Birken- 
 head was immediately taken, lie had been trusted 
 by y^ King in Sotland, for he pretended himselfe to 
 be sent from severall of y*^ Kings Friends in 
 England, and was sent back w"^ Commissions toy"'. 
 It may be he was honest when he was taken, but im- 
 mediatly after he was imployed as a spie from y^ 
 Parlament, and he did y"" good service. 
 
 S"" Philip in this small boat with two oares cross- 
 ed y*' channel, six miles broad in y' place, landed 
 in y* Isle of Roseneath (belonging to y*' Lord 
 Argile) and stayed there y' night. Y* next morn- 
 ing he and y^ Scotch Gentlemen hired a boat, and 
 to y*^ Isle of Cumrey where y'= Lord Mungomery 
 was governour. He used S'' Philip very civily, 
 and did furnish him w"' a boat wherein he passed to 
 y'' Isle of Man; and having been out at sea two 
 nights landed in the morning safely at Po — . He 
 was then in a poor condition, for he and y*= English
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. 21 
 
 Gentlemen that came v^^^ him had lost their money 
 and cloathes in y''' ship at Grenock ; but y« Earl of 
 Darby received y"* with much civility, and y'^ Coun- 
 tess sent S'" Philip lining and other necessaries for 
 his present use, and entertained him very kindly 
 y'= siJace of five months; until y'= King sent an Ex- 
 press to y'= Earle of Darby giving him notice y' he 
 was upon his march for England, and desired his 
 LoP to meet him w"i such forces as he could rase 
 in y« Island ; and y' S"" Philip Musgrave should 
 spedily repaire to him : w^*' order S"" Philip care- 
 fully obeyed, and y^ next day at Ramsey took a 
 fisher boat with 4 oares. Y^ watermen promised him 
 to land him y^ night following in Scotland ; but they 
 failed in performance, and kept out at sea all night, 
 which happened to be very calm, otherwise they 
 liad been in a very great hazard. He was very 
 much afflicted with this delay, but there was no 
 remedy, for y" watermen protested they durst not 
 come near y*^ shore in y"^ night for fear of Rocks. 
 In y'= morning about sunrising, they put him on 
 land la Galloway, about twelve miles from Drum- 
 freess. There was riding upon y* shore, a Scotch 
 Gentleman, whom one of y*' watermen knew to 
 be y'* Lord of Eckenskeugh, (whom S"^ Philip had 
 heard reported to be an honest man and therefore 
 went presently and made himself known to him, and 
 inquired after y® King; y*^ Lord informed himy' his 
 Ma'!' had quartered y- day before at Dalston, in 
 Cumberland; and did very willingly assist S'" Philip 
 in procuring Horses, and went himself with him to 
 Newby, y^ House of y*^ Earle of liartfell. He was 
 very well acquainted with bis LqP and therefore 
 did request him to furnish him w"> horses, for he 
 was resolved to follow y^ King w"*all possible 
 speed. But y^ Earle professed that both his own 
 horses, and y*-' horses of his tenants, were y« day 
 before taken for y'= Kings use, and were not return- 
 ed ; and told him y<= Kings rearguard being march- 
 ed oif y' afternoon, y<= Carlisle Troopers had set
 
 22 THE LIFE OF 
 
 guards upon y*^ passes upon y« river, and y' it 
 would be a very difficult business to avoid them. 
 But S"^ Philip was resolved to venter, and desired a 
 guide. When y'= guide came, he assured S'' Philip 
 that y'= flood was in, and y* there could be no pass- 
 ing over y'= sands until y« next morning. Y<= Earle 
 was not willing y' S' Philip should lodge in his 
 house; but sent him out to his shepheards lodging 
 — a meane resting place after y*^ riding 50 miles and 
 a nights watching at sea. 
 
 But he had greater troubles at y' time upon him 
 then this, namely y'= falling short of attending y^ King 
 in Cumberland, where he hoped to have been ser- 
 viceable to him ; but y*^ next day he had intelligence 
 how Co'' Lambert with a body of horse was come 
 into England, a dayes march short of y*^ King- Hee 
 then resolved to go back to Drumfreess and stay 
 there about, untill he should get some Notice of y*^ 
 King's motion. There he applied himselfe to some 
 of y* King's Commissioners, who were sitting to 
 consult about some new levies in y^ County; but he 
 found very little kindness, scarce common civility 
 among y'" ; hee therefore thought it not safe for him 
 to stay in so public a place where he was well known, 
 and did therefore retire into Galloway w^ y*= Lord 
 of Ekenskeugh and stayd about ten days with him, 
 getting no returne to any letters or message he had 
 sent into England, which so vexed and troubled his 
 mind as he was never in his life in a more discontent- 
 ed condition. 
 
 He went privatly near y'' English borders, and 
 procured some friends of his out of Cumberland to 
 come thither; by these he understood y*^ King was 
 marched through Lancashire, so parting with y™ he 
 went to y^ house of y* Lord Harris, and staid with 
 him until he had very narrowly escaped being taken 
 prisoner by about 250 English Horse, who came up 
 to Drumfreess, and to y'= house of y*^ Lord Harris, 
 and afterwards falling into y*^ quarters of some Scotch 
 Lords and Gentlemen y^ were drawn together to
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. 23 
 
 oppose y"* rooted y""' and w"'m few days reduced 
 Annandale aud Nidsdale, where were quartered at 
 yc very same time, five regiments of foot, and about 
 300 Horse, which should have marched with y"^ King, 
 but came halfe a day short. 
 
 S'" Phihp then went back to Ekenskeugh, much 
 perplext w' course to take ; but by a strange provi- 
 dence of God, y* Countess of Darby, liaving heard 
 of his stay in Scotland, sent a Gentleman purposely 
 to invite him back to y*' Island, and two boats for 
 transporting himselfe and horses ; prefering also to 
 furnish him with a small man of war in which he 
 might pass into England, when he had any certainty 
 where to find y'= King, This profer came very sea- 
 sonable to him, so he presently went to where y*^ 
 boats were, and in them (with some hazard) came 
 safe y"^ second time to y« Isle of Man. There was 
 then a rumour y' y*^ forces in Lancashire, under y® 
 command of y*^ Earle of Darby, were rooted. W*^** 
 prooved too true ; for y* Lord Wetherington, S"^ 
 Thomas Tildesly, were slain upon y*^ place, and se- 
 veral other Gallant Gentlemen killed, or taken 
 prisoners ; and about y*= same time M'' Grena, go- 
 vernour in y"^ Isle of Man, died. 
 
 Y*= Countess of Darby did then desire S'' Philip 
 Musgrave to accept y*^ Goverment, and several of 
 y^ chief men of Power in y'= Island made large pro- 
 fessions of their desires to serve under his command, 
 and y^ faithfulness y' they would bear to him. He 
 being obliged to do any service in his power to 
 y"^ Countess of Darby, accepted a commission from 
 her LaP' w"* this condition y' he might nominate his 
 deputy when y*^ King's service should require his 
 attendance else where. Y^ very next day after S'" 
 Philip was made governour, notice was sent from a 
 sea Captain of y'^ Parlament's ships (at that time rid- 
 ing on y' Coast) y' y*^ King's Army was totally rout- 
 ed at Worster, and y'= Earl of Darby a Prisoner. 
 Y"^ Countess hereupon did send into England y"^ offer 
 of a treaty with y'= Parlament, hoping thereby to
 
 24 THE LIFE OF 
 
 save her Lord's life ; for it was impossible for her 
 to hold y^ Island against y"^ power of three Kingdoms 
 which incompassed it. 
 
 Y^ Governour, in a public assembly, took y'^ con- 
 sent of y"^ 24 heads of y'= Island to y*' sending about 
 this treaty ; but y'^ very next night after y^ messen- 
 ger for England put to sea, most of y« Manks men, 
 byy« instigation of Will. Christian, y^ Earleof Darbys 
 receivers, drewsecretlyinto bodies, seized ally* forts 
 in which they were trusted, plundered all y'= Earle 
 of Darbys goods, made prisoners and most basely 
 used all y* English y' fell into their hands, and miss- 
 ed narrowly y'= possessing themselves of Peel Castle 
 and Castle Rushen, wherein y*= Countess, y* Gover- 
 nour, and some other English escaped their treach- 
 erous plot. 
 
 Y^ Governour having timely notice of y* peoples 
 being in armes, did spidily take y^ best course he 
 could for defence of y'' two castles. About 1000 
 horse and foot kept in a body at Raniswey (y« re- 
 ceivers House,) they called him their General, and 
 he did own y*= title. Y'' Governour sent to him to 
 understand y*^ reason of this insurrection ; and he 
 returned a presentment of some grevancies pretend- 
 ed to be put upon them when y« Earl was person- 
 ally there, and y' my lady Darby had sold y«^ Island 
 and people to y*^ Parlament. This himselfe and all 
 y*^ chief men of y*^ Island, knew to be a meare fic- 
 tion, but y*^ receiver made use of it as a brand to 
 kindle y* rebellion, which he had long time most 
 treacherously plotted against his Lord and Master. 
 
 Y<^ Countess desiring to cool this heat by fair 
 means, commanded y'' Governour to give y« re- 
 ceiver a personal meeting, upon engagement y* hos- 
 tility should be forborne on both sides during y*= con- 
 ference. After a short debate y*^ Governour brought 
 all matters to a conclusion, to y*^ seeming satisfac- 
 tion of all parties ; and y<= Governour being amongst 
 y^ manks-men y'' next day (for as yet they were not 
 dispersed) discovered y*^ parlaments fleet, five and
 
 sin PHILIP MUSQUAVE, BART. 25 
 
 forty sail, coming ag^' y'= Island. Y"^ Manks-men 
 did seem resolved to stand to defend ye Island, till 
 good conditions could be obtained; and y^ Gover- 
 nour did march in y*^ head of y™, attending y^ mo- 
 tion of y'= English fleet, Y^ receiver did at y*' same 
 time ofler to take a voluntary oath upon y*^ bible, 
 y' he would be faithfull to y'' Countess of Darby 
 and to y*^ Governour, and to perform y*^ agreement 
 made y* day before. Y^ Governour did use him 
 kindly and refused his oath ; but before day going 
 y^ Governour was informed y*^ this Traitor had sent 
 a boat to y"^ English fleet, to assume y"" no opposi- 
 tion should be made to y'^ landing of their forces, 
 and as a signe thereof had caused a white flag to be 
 hung out of Douglass fort, as y'= English fleet sailed 
 by it. 
 
 Y^ Governour then perceived himselfe in y^ hands 
 of yin v\'ho probably did intend to give him up as a 
 sacrifice to y^ Parlament; but he conceal'^ his doubt, 
 and gave orders to y^ foot and horse y' after two or 
 three hours repose in Douglas, they should be in 
 readiness at y* beat of drum to continue their march 
 towards Ramsey, where it was supposed y^ English 
 would attempt to land. In y« mean time, hee and 
 about ten horse with him drew quietly out of 
 Douglas, and immediately he sent a trusty person to 
 y^ Countess to inform her of y*^ vilany of y^ receiver 
 (who was then with her) and to desire her to trust 
 y® defence of Castle Rushen to S"" Thomas Arm- 
 strong and y* English in y' Castle ; y' himself 
 would endeavour y^ same night (if it were possible) 
 to get into Pele Castle, for he had no confidence in 
 y^ courage or honesty of him y' commanded it. 
 
 Accordingly he went towards Pele, and when he 
 came near to y*^ town, he sent in one to discover y^ 
 doings there, who returned with this account, 
 y* there were 200 Manks-men upon y'= guard, com- 
 manded by Captain Raclif (whom y^ Governour 
 knew to have been very active in y* Manks rebel- 
 lion.) They knew there was no passing to y*^ Cas- 
 
 B
 
 26 THE LIFE OP 
 
 tie but through y'= town, and y' within less than an 
 hour y'^ flood would be ia, and then no passing but 
 by boat. He therefore resolved to go instantly on, 
 and if he should find opposition, to attempt with 
 y^ seven horse with him to force his passage 
 (though it were with y^ hazard of his life.) He 
 coming up to y^ guard, they cried " stand ;" and one 
 of y^ horsemen answered, " it is y'^ Governour." 
 He then commended their vigilance, and asked 
 what other guards there were betwixt y* and y'= 
 Castle ; he told him there was an hundred men in 
 y*= church, and another guard upon y^ sands. 
 
 Y'^ Governour then enquired for Captain Raclif, 
 and being answered he was at an house near by, he 
 took occasion to send away y*^ Corporal to call him, 
 and then went on as quietly as he could by y*^ church 
 to y" other guard, who called *' stand;" and whilst 
 one of y*^ small troops was asking y"" some questions 
 in Manks Language, He suddenly turning his horse 
 aside from one y*^ stood w'*^ a pike in his way, gal- 
 loped to y" Castle ; y'= rest of y^ horse (one only ex- 
 cepted y' proved a knave) followed him close. 
 When they were in y'= Castle, they did hear no small 
 noise and tumult in y^ town, for Captain Raclif was 
 in much disorder when he perceived y*^ Governour 
 had gott into y'' Castle, (w'^'^ was otherwise than he 
 intended;) however, y^ Governour sent a Manks 
 Gentleman to him to let him know he found him- 
 selfe most treacherously dealt w*''all, and therefore 
 had retired to this Castle, but yet if he might have 
 assurance y' y'' Manks-men would not deliver him 
 up to y® English Souldiers, he would come out and 
 join w"' y°Uo oppose y^ enemies landing, until good 
 conditions of peace were made w"^ y™ . Cap* Ra- 
 clif instead of making a civil returne, did impress 
 on y^ messenger, refused to admit any intercourse 
 w'' ye Governour, and kept guards against y*' Castle 
 until all y^ English Souldiers were landed w"^out 
 any opposition. 
 
 In y^ interim, y^ Governour wanted not troubles
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. 27 
 
 w"'iii y*' Castle, in which there was no more than 
 36 Otficers and Souldiers, (y® chief Gunner and 
 several of y*^ Souldiers having before y^ Governours 
 coming run away;) of y*^ 36 remaining 20 were 
 Manks-men, and of those not 3 that would stay if 
 they could gett away, for they took occasion twice 
 to muteney ; hut y'= Governour did appease y"" first 
 hy good words, and afterwards hy threats and strong 
 barrowcading up y"^ ports so that there was no way 
 of escape out of y* Castle. Having in this manner 
 been kept from all intelligence y*^ space of five days 
 y^ Parlament Souldiers then came before y'= Castle, 
 and y*^ Commander in chief, Co*' Duckenfield, sent 
 a summons to y*^ Castle, but y^ Governour did re- 
 fuse to admitt of any treaty without consent of 
 y'^ Countess of Darby. 
 
 Y*^ enemy did not make any shott ag*' y^ Castle ; 
 and they w"^in it did forbear shouting until they 
 might know what course was held by y*^ Countess of 
 Darby in order to y'= treaty offered by her. Co'* 
 Duckenfield then drew y'= greater part of his men 
 before Castle Rushen, and left about a 1000 men to 
 block up Pele Castle, whither a second summons 
 was sent by Co" Worsley ; and y^ Governour re- 
 turned y*^ like answer as he had done to Ducken- 
 field, who at y« same time sent a summons to Castle 
 Rushen, and with ity*^ certainty of my Lord Darby 
 being beheaded. 
 
 This sad news seconded with y^ revolt of most 
 of y'= Souldiers in y*^ Castle (except some few En- 
 glish,) forced y* Countess, at y' time in extream 
 grief, to except of hard conditions. However 
 y<^ nobleness of her mind was very apparent, for 
 being offered by Duckenfield if she would com- 
 mand Peele Castle to be delivered, and leave S'' 
 Philip Musgrave and Cap' Barclif to shift for 
 y'"sclfcs, she should be allowed to take away all her 
 goods in y'= two Castles ; but she did rather chuso 
 lo submit her goods to y" mercy of y'^ Parlament, 
 then to exclude any that had been faithful to her 
 
 B 2
 
 28 THE LIFE OF 
 
 from y*' benefitt of such articles as she made for 
 
 Co" buckcnfield doubting if S' Philip were ex- 
 cepted in y'= articles, he would not deliver Peele 
 Casile, yielded to have y<= articles run in general 
 terms w'^out excepting any man. S"^ Philip knew 
 nothing what was in agitation, for y« Countess was 
 not permitted to send any notice until y'' very hour 
 y' (according to y*^ articles) Peele Castle was to be 
 surrendered. Tlien were y« articles brought to y« 
 Governour, and an order under y« hand and seal of 
 y'^ Countess of Darby directed to him to deliver up 
 y« Castle. S'' Philip did dislike y* penning of y^ 
 articles, especially in y' article for y^ personal secu- 
 rity of those included : but no explication would be 
 admitted, and y^ Countessof Darby and her children 
 being then in y'= hands of y'^ Parlaments Army, he 
 resofved to hazard himselfe rather then indanger 
 her LaP and so he yielded up y' stronghold and put 
 an end to his troubles in military matters. 
 
 But before he left y* Island, He had y« good for- 
 tune to procure Duckenfield to insert a clause in 
 his pass to this purpose, y* if at his coming into 
 England hee did not within 3 months make his 
 peace w'^^ y^ Parlament, he might thereby have 
 liberty to transport himselfe to Holland ; and this 
 proviso proved of more use to him afterwards 
 y" his articles. 
 
 When he had delivered y« Castle he went to y^ 
 Countess of Darby, whom he found in a sad condi- 
 tion as could almost befal a person of her birth and 
 breeding ; for besides her resentment of y^ loss of 
 her noble husband and of her whole estate, her 
 patience was tryed to y« utmost by new affronts put 
 upon her ; for contrary to Duokentields verball pro- 
 mise she was forced out of her Lodgings, and with 
 her children removed out of Castle iiushen to a 
 poor Ale House, and hindred y-^ use of any other 
 provisions for food but by their allowance w*'' came 
 very grudgingly; and not yet contented to have
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVfi, BART. 29 
 
 reduced her to this extremity, w'^iii a few days after 
 sent her away to y^ house of William Christian y^ 
 receiver, and forced her to be beholden to him for 
 bread who had most wickedly betrayed her and 
 made himselfe y^ instrument of all y^ misfortunes 
 that befell her LaP in y'' Island, among y' ungrateful 
 people. She had stayed there about a week, when 
 they hurried her and y« English y' had articled on 
 shipboard, and y^ second time searched all her 
 trunks ; and after she had been 24 hours on ship- 
 board, they denied liberty to her servants to buy 
 any food on y^ shore, for her LaP and y'^ company 
 w''' her. But it pleased God y*^ wind stood more 
 favourable for her passage, and she landed near to 
 Bewraorris (notw^'standing great perill betwixt 
 y*^ ship and. her coming on shore.) 
 
 At this place, S"" Philip iMusgrave took leave of 
 her LaP' holding itt fitt for him to go as privatly as 
 he could to London. After he was come thither, 
 and w"* y"^ help of y* Lord V/harton, was admitted 
 to speak with Gen^' Crurawell, Hee made application 
 to y^ counsell of state, and his pass from Duckenfield 
 was allowed, but he blamed lor giving it. About 5 
 years before, he had sent his eldest son into France, 
 and not seen him from that time untill their acci- 
 dental meeting now at London. He was come up 
 to make claime to so much of his father's estate as by 
 virtue of an intaile was to descend to him after y*^ 
 death of his father. 
 
 S"^ Philip did then take a journey into y^ North to 
 see his poor wife (and from whom he had been 3 
 years absent;) she and her 3 youngest children mett 
 him att Aske in Yorkshire, y*^ House of his good 
 friend, y"^ Lady Philadelphia Wharton. There they 
 stayed together y* space of ten days, and had a sad 
 parting, for S"^ Philip's limited time for his stay iu 
 England would expire within 20 days after, and he 
 did not at y' time think of obtaining any enlargement 
 thereof; but after his coming to London, and weigh- 
 ing well y sad couditiou in w*^ ho should leave his
 
 30 THE LIFE OF 
 
 wife and 5 children, (for at y"^ very time his estate 
 was upon sale without reserving any share for his or 
 their subsistance,) and she with the pressure of many 
 affections for y* space of seven years was growing 
 very sickly and unfit for removes. He therefore 
 forced his inclination to trust to y*^ Gen"* protection 
 for his longer stay in England, that he might assist 
 his son who was endeavouring to purchase from y*^ 
 parlament his estate. But itt was too apparent his 
 son would never be able to do itt without his father's 
 help and joyning his credit and security in w"^ him. 
 
 It was full two years from y*^ begining this work 
 to y*' enduig and giving securities for monies bor- 
 rowed to make this purchase, w'^^ S'' Philip and his 
 Sons could never have gone through with if his 
 Cousen, S'" Thomas Wharton, (who had during y'= 
 time of S'' Philip's troubles been very kind to him and 
 his) had not now out done all y* could be wished, 
 and furnished y'" with 3300 pounds when they were 
 not in a condition to give any security y' another 
 person would have ventured upon. But none un- 
 derstands y'^ theory of friendship better y° himselfe, 
 nor hath any friend of S"^ Philip's in his whole time, 
 ^,th more honour and greater free dome, acted all 
 y'' parts of a true friend to him. 
 
 S'" Philip was much at London and very little at 
 home whilst y"^ purchase was on hand. Y' being 
 finished he went down to Edenhall, hoping to live 
 some time in quiet, to indeavour to disingage him- 
 selfe and some of these debts they stood ingagedin. 
 But he had not been 2 days at home until he v/as 
 arrested by a warrant from y*^ counsell of state, and 
 attended to London by three Messengers. This 
 coming so suddenly, was vei-y sadly apprehended by 
 his nearest friends, and y*= generality of those y' had 
 any kindness for him much douted y'= event. But 
 y* Lord Wharton stuck close to him at y' time, as 
 he had done upon former occasions, and writt very 
 fully to y^ Gen" and some of his friends in y* coun- 
 sell. S'' Philip remained 3 weeks in y® house of one
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. 31 
 
 of y^ Messengers, aad then a petition was given in 
 his name to y^ counsell, y' upon ingagement to ap- 
 pear upon 6 hours summons he might go to his own 
 lodging. Thereupon, an order is made by y*^ Coun- 
 sell, y' he should have liberty to go where he pleas- 
 ed, giving his Perrole, under his hand, in y'^ presence 
 of y'= Generall, to appear when he should be summon- 
 ed, having convenient time allowed for his journey. 
 
 This he performed, and was very civily used by 
 y^ Gen"' who laid nothing to his charge, nor ex- 
 amined him upon any particular. 
 
 This cloud thus banished, he went home into 
 Cumberland, where, having stayd about 12 Months, 
 he was exercised w"^ new troubles occasioned by 
 y® meeting of some Gentlemen in arms, w'^'' was by 
 those in authority interpreted to be a designe from 
 abroad for reestablishing King Charles ; and here- 
 upon, occasion is taken in several Counties in 
 England to imprison most of those Gentlemen y' had 
 been formerly in armes for y*^ King. S"" Philip Mus- 
 grave was one of those imprisoned at Carlile, and 
 supposed by y*' commissioners to know more of y*= 
 pretended designe then some others of y*^ party did; 
 because it was informed y* his second Son, Christo- 
 pher Musgrave, was amongst those Gentlemen 
 y' mett at Hepsammoore, in Yorkshire. Therefore 
 S"^ Philip's Journies and meetings of late time were 
 narrowly siftsd into ; even his very discourses when 
 he visited his neighbours were examined; yet 
 was nothing discovered y'^ could amount to a charge 
 against him. However he and several others are 
 detained several months in prison. 
 
 Att y' time died M'' Henry Hutton, his Wifes 
 youngest brother, and a faithful friend to herselfe 
 and husband, and y^ chief comfort she had in her 
 afUictions. He was a learned and Pious divine. He 
 died parson of Long Marton. His loss was very 
 much bemoaned by his Parishoners, and very gene- 
 rally by those y' knew his worth. 
 
 In June, 1635, some of y*^ Gentlemen y' were
 
 32 THE LIFE OP 
 
 made prisoners at Carlile, 4 months before, are sett at 
 liberty, and others committed to their Chambers by 
 Co" Howard, and forced to enter w'^ sureties in a 
 bond of £2000 a man, not to come out from thence 
 w'^'out leave of y^ superior officers then resident. 
 Amongst these, S"" Philip was one ; and y® very same 
 day, his eldest Son, Richard Musgrave, married (with 
 his fathers consent) Margaret, eldest Daughter to 
 S"" Tho^ Harrison, of York, K'-and niece to Coniers, 
 second Lord Darcy of Horneby Castle, a vertuous 
 and discreet young woman and so reputed amongst 
 all y' knew her. 
 
 In August, S"' Philip, and his Countrymen y' were 
 prisoners at Carlile, had leave to go to their several 
 dwellings, upon bond to returne at y' time limitted 
 in their several passes : some had longer time allow- 
 ed y™' some shorter, as they could make friends, 
 and some of y^ greatest men in those Counties who 
 had been for y* King, were suffered by Co" Howards 
 favoiir to live quietly at home w">out molestation. 
 But S'' Philip was constantly one of those y*^ were 
 most strictly delt w^i^all, untillJanuary 8th, and then 
 y*^ King's party generally were summoned in and. 
 forced to enter unparoled strict bonds for y'"selfes 
 and servants. 
 
 S'' Philip, having done this, hoped to have con- 
 tinued with some quiet at home, (which now he ac- 
 counted his appointed prison ;) but he had not stayed 
 there 3 months until he, and some others his coun- 
 trymen, were hurried by troopers to Carlile, com- 
 mitted to y^ Marshalls, and forced to continue 
 prisoners within y* limitts of their several Lodgings 
 and yet nothing of crime was charged against y" . 
 They suffered about 14 dayes in this sort, until a 
 pass procured by y"^ Lord Wharton from Co^* Ho- 
 ward, fetched otfS'' Philip, and gave him a liberty 
 to come to London ; where, upon application made 
 by him to Co" Howard, he found that his living in 
 Cumberland was a corasive to y'^ Commissioners, 
 and drew upon him y^ severity y' was exercised
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. 33 
 
 against him. He thought fit therefore to give way, 
 and not to hazard y^ trying y« effect of such mens 
 malice as were then in authority in y' Country, but 
 except a new protection from y'^ protector, with 
 such provisoes as Co" Howard thought fit, w'^'^ were 
 to this purpose : — y' he might go home info his 
 Country about his lawful! occasions, provided his stay 
 were not above 4 months; y' he had liberty to live 
 in any part of England, provided that it were not 
 within 60 miles of his dwelling in Cumberland. 
 
 W"' this pass he came down and dissolved his 
 Family, resolving to live some time at Oxford. He 
 was y'= more inclined to this remove, not only to be 
 out of y'= reach of y" malice of those he knew loved 
 him not, but he found, his absence would not be un- 
 pleasing to several Gentlemen, hi^ neighbours, (who 
 did not wish him ill,) but they supposed they should 
 be looked upon by y^ Commissioners with less 
 jealousy, and not upon every surmise be imprisoned 
 if S"^ Philip did inhabit in some other County. For 
 y"^ Mechanic Commissioners had upon several occa- 
 sions declared (whatever were their thoughts) that 
 S"" Philip had great interest in his Country, was able 
 and active, much looked upon by y'^ King and his 
 party, and irreconcilable to their principles. 
 
 The orthodox Clergy in most parts of England 
 were silenced ; and those y' had not formerly been 
 put out from their churches are now ejected, and 
 were not suffered to officiate either in publick, or 
 privatly, without hazard of banishment or imprison- 
 ment. This persecution befell y™ for their con- 
 stancy to y^ doctrine of y*^ church of England, laid 
 down in y*^ 39 articles, and y** discipline settled by 
 lawfull authority ; both w'^'* by y^ testimony of y*= 
 most learned men of y' Church, and y'= Churches in 
 forraine parts since y^ reformation, hath been allow- 
 ed to contain nothing in y™ contrary to y'= written 
 word of God ; and y*^ most learned of y'^ English 
 Church, in these distracted times, have declared
 
 34 THE LIFE OP 
 
 their judgments y' y^ prescribed forms, iny^ publick 
 worshipp of God, were as consonant w"* y« practice 
 of y" Church of God in purest times (after y^ Church 
 had any rest from persecution,) as well refined from 
 y^ dreggs of Romish superstition, and as orderly set- 
 tled, as any forme of Church service in y'= world. 
 
 Some Churches in Cumberland were shut up ; 
 most of y" preachers y' were allowed by y'= com- 
 missioners were either no ministers or -professed 
 eniinys to y*^ Church of England ; and these S'' Philip 
 could not constantly hear at times and places ap- 
 pointed for Gods worship, w'^'out scruple of con- 
 science. And therefore he was more willing to 
 leave these parts, hoping to find some place where 
 he might hear such men as at leastwise bore no 
 evil will to Zion. 
 
 During his stay in Cumberland, he had y^ good 
 fortune to see sometimes anear neighbour, y^ Coun- 
 tess Dowager of Pembroke (cousin german to his 
 mother.) He found her always very civil to him 
 and his ; but [at] his taking leave of her Ladyship, 
 he found very real demonstration of her kindness, 
 and y^ consideration she had of his present low con- 
 dition, w"^** it is fit should be gratefully remembered. 
 
 Y"^ small portion w''' could be spared (out of y** 
 estate purchased by his son) for y'^ subsistance of 
 himselfe and Wife, was left to bo managed by M'' Ar- 
 thur Savage, who had lived many years in his house, 
 taught his children, and done y'^ office of a minister 
 of God's word, and y*^ part of a true friend in S"" 
 Philips troubles, and especially to his Lady and 
 Children in his abscence and their greatest troubles, 
 of which he had a share ; for, being preferred in 
 y" Church according to his meritt. He enjoyed his 
 benefice scarce one year, untill he was imprisoned, 
 carried by sea to London, and had all y'^ profits of 
 his living taken from him. Notwithstanding, he 
 did for several years officiate as constantly and con- 
 scienciously as if no such wrong had been done to
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. c5 
 
 him ; at last he had his church as well as y*^ revenues 
 taken from, and was forbid to preach, as many 
 others at yf^ same time were, only for his adhering 
 to y*^ Ciiurch of England. 
 
 When S"" Philip and his Lady were come to Ox- 
 ford, and expected to meet their second son, Chrisf , 
 who for his personal security had retired into France 
 and some months before was returned with y^ pro- 
 tectors pass,they were incountered w'** y« news of 
 his imprisonment in y*^ Tower, to teach y"^ though 
 they had, for to obtain some quiet, left their ancient 
 home and acquaintance, near friends and kindred, 
 they must not expect to have shaked hands with 
 troubles to which all must be subject whilst they 
 are in this world ; and happy are those that God 
 doth thus visit in mercy and loving kindness, of w'^'' 
 S'' Philip hath had many evidences for y*^ space 
 of 49 years in his pilgrimage before his coming to 
 Oxford. 
 
 He outlived his wifes 3 brothers, S"^ Richard 
 Hutton, Thomas, and Henry; and her 4 brothers- 
 in-Laws, — John Danny, Esq' married to her eldest 
 sister, Elizabeth; Thomas Cooper, Esq'' married

 Bar" married to Mary y^ 3'^'' sister ; and S"" Gervice 
 Newell, K' married (after S'" Philip) to Katharine 
 ye 4th sister. 
 
 In y« year 1657, S"" Philip and his Lady returned 
 from Oxford to Edenhall, where he remained for 
 some months in quiet, and had y® comfort y' his 
 Son Richard's Wife was brought to bed of a daugh- 
 ter named Margaret. But y' he might think his 
 troubles were not at an end, he was, in y*^ beginning 
 of y"^ next year, with many other gentlemen his 
 neighbours, carried prisoners to Carlile, where 
 without any crime laid to his charge, he continued 
 under restraint until his want of health prevailed for 
 a change of his confinement from thence to his own 
 house.

 36 THE LIFE OF 
 
 In this year, he had the comfort of seeing his 4 
 sons and his only daughter together at Edenhall 
 (his second son, Christopher, having, for more than 
 2 years before, been prisoner in y'^ Tower and in 
 other places.) This was no small discomfort to his 
 parents and loss to y" and him, (though nothing 
 was proved against him y^ was criminall.) 
 
 As these many affliclions made this meeting of 
 friends very agreeable, so it pleased God to season 
 this contentment with trouble by y*^ loss of friends ; 
 for about y'= same time died M''^ Eleanor Thwaites, 
 his mother's sister, and M""* Elizabeth Dawny, sis- 
 ter to his Lady; and y^ same day y'^ his children 
 returned to their several places of residence, He 
 was commanded to returne to his confinement at 
 Carlile, having some days before received a severe 
 command from y* L'' Howard (so called) to send 
 away his third son, Simon, (for no other reason but 
 what conjecture might give that his Father might 
 take Notice he must enjoy no comfort y^ those in 
 authority could deprive him of.) But it was God's 
 mercy y* this was no cross to him for y^ poor inno- 
 cent youth was before hand prepared to repair, w'^- 
 out delay, to his service as a Page to y** Princess 
 Royall of Orange. 
 
 It pleased God to make S'" Philip's bad health 
 y^ occasion to gain him a pass to return to his own 
 house, where he remained confined y^ most part of 
 y' winter; and upon y<^ 10th day of March, follow- 
 ing, died at Canterbury, y*= Lady MargarettWotton, 
 eldest sister to his mother, a wise and noble person, 
 truly aflectionated to her kindred, a constant lover 
 of her nephew S'' Philip and all his, a great and pa- 
 tient sufferer in these sad distracted times. 
 
 In May '59, his daughter-in-law was brought to 
 bed of her first son, a dead child; and about June 
 18th, y^ same year, died her only daughter Marga- 
 rett, both buried in St. Saviours church, York. 
 
 As y" distractions in these Kingdoms did minister
 
 sm PHILIP MUSGRAVJi, BART. 37 
 
 new matter of fear to those y' usurped y*^ supream 
 authority, so their fears whetted their malice against 
 y^ Royall Party. Imprisonmsnt was one of y" least 
 punishments, and S"" Philip Musgrave never wanted his 
 part in this suiiering : for upon y*= rise of S"" George 
 Booth and other gentlemen in several parts of Eng- 
 land, to redeem their lost liberties, S'' Philip was 
 confined to an house in Carlile, and so continued 
 until he was forced to give engagement and security 
 for his peaceble living. 
 
 Then came on y'^ actions of y" once great Lambert, 
 who rebelled against the thing y' called itself a Par- 
 liament, and w*-"^ he and his souldiers had owned by 
 y* title yet turned y™ out of y" house, and did ap- 
 point a certain number of men, which were stiled a 
 committee of safety, to do as he would have y™' un- 
 til when he was at Newcastle, and upon his march 
 towards Scotland against Gen'i Monk, God put a 
 hook in his nostrills, and turned him back by y^ way 
 y' he came, untill his men, without feeling y'= blow 
 or seeing y*^ face of an enemey, dropt away from him 
 like snow melting w"^ y^ summer heat. 
 
 Then began people y' had been long inslaved to 
 lift up their heads, and hope y' a true sence of 
 y miseries upon church and state, by y'' ambitious 
 designs of proud base men, would prepare y*^ minds 
 of all y' were not wholly transported with selfends, 
 to listen to y^ murniours of y"^ Nation for y^ want of 
 their ancient Monarchical! government in a line of 
 Kings. 
 
 Whilst S'' Philip Musgrave had his share in hope 
 of this long-expected comfort, that he might not be 
 transported w"* so great a satisfaction (if God should 
 afford it to this kingdome,y® mercy of a just and well 
 settled peace in y*^ Church and State here) it pleased 
 y® Divine Wisdom to prepare him to Christian sub- 
 mission to his will, and to take otF his mind from 
 overvaluing any content in y^ things of this AVoild, 
 by taking away y'' desire of his eyes w"* a stroak—
 
 38 THE LIFE OF 
 
 his Virtuous and faithfull loving wife, who died up- 
 on Shrove Monday, at nine of y^ Clock at night, 
 March y<= fifth, anno 1659. 
 
 God's goodness had fitted her by many afflictions, 
 infirmities, watchings, hourly prayers, and weekly 
 fastings, for this (for herselfe) blessed change. The 
 fame of her goodness will continue when her body 
 is turned to earth. She always professed herselte 
 (and lived accordingly) a member of y'^ Church of 
 England, according as it stood reformed in y* reign 
 of y* late King Charles y* first of blessed memory. 
 In this profession, not"'"^ standing y^ persecution 
 ag*' it, she lived and died according to y* form pre- 
 scribed by y' Church; was buried in y^ parish 
 Church of Edenhall (upon Ash AVednesday) amongst 
 her husband's Ancestors, and near to her son Willi- 
 am (y^ first fruit of her loins, taken by God to him- 
 selfe.) 
 
 Many of her husband's and her own nearest rela- 
 tions were present at this sad obsique, particularly 
 her husband's and her 3 eldest sons, and her daugh- 
 ter and her daughter-in-Law. Her old friend M' 
 Savage preached at her buriall, upon this text, 
 Blessed are y'= dead w'=^ dye in y*= Lord, and from 
 henceforth; yea, saith y* spirit, y' they may rest 
 from their labours, and their works do follow y°% 
 Eevelations, Chap. 14th, ver. 13th. 
 
 In May following, his second son married Mary, 
 Eldest Daughter and one of y* Coeheirs of S"^ An- 
 drew Cogan, Bar"' living at Greenwich; a loyal and 
 eminent sufiierer in y* royall cause. 
 
 The miraculous restoruig of King Charles y* 2""* 
 to y"^ exercise of y^ Royall power in his 3 King- 
 domes, was y*^ wonder of all Europe, and no less his 
 Ma^y^ settling y"^ episcopall power in England and 
 Ireland w'^'out blood or appearance of war. Among 
 many other sufferers in y*^ Royal cause, S"^ Philip 
 Musgrave attended his Ma*y at his first coming to 
 London, and was received by him with acknowledge-
 
 Sia PHILIP MUSGRATE, BART. 39 
 
 ment of bis sufferings and promises of reparation; 
 but by reason y* Co'' Charles Howard, of Naward, 
 had then y'= command of Cumberland and Westmer- 
 land, and had been instrumental in some measure 
 in his Ma'y* restauration, y^ King could not so sud- 
 denly restore S"" Philip Musgrave to his former 
 command, but he did make him Justice of Peace in. 
 2 Counties and Custos Rotulorum in Westmerland, 
 Deputy Lieutenant in both Counties, and had a very 
 speciall trust in his faithfulness. His countrymen and 
 neighbours returnedagain to theirformer respect and 
 regard of him ; and w'^^ was his greatest comfort in 
 this world, y* reverend Fathers of y*= Church and 
 eminent divines of his acquaintance did consider 
 him as a true son of y^ Church, and one y' desired 
 to be serviceable in his calling to y'^ professors of 
 y^ true protestant religion established in y« Church 
 of England. 
 
 Thus it pleased God to visitt him in mercy and 
 lovuig kindness after y« many afflictions he had un- 
 dergone, and to give him again opportunity to be 
 serviceable to y^ King and his Country, to take off 
 from him y*^ reproach and slavery y' y* enemies of 
 y® King and Church had forced upon him, and to 
 give him y^ freedom of a good subject and a respect 
 due to his quality. 
 
 In this same year, he put up a little monument 
 for his wife, and begun to exercise his long intended 
 purpose of building a Chapel at Soulby in West- 
 merland, and indowing it. 
 
 Y*= King continuing his opinion of his faithfulness 
 made him Governour of Carlile, mauger y^ opposi- 
 tion of Lord Leuetenant of Cumberland and West- 
 moorland ; and when he went to take possession of 
 his Goverment, He was met upon y^ way, and ac- 
 companyed into Carlile, w'*^ allmost y^ whole gentry 
 of Cumberland and Westmoorland, y'^ Dean and 
 Probands of Carlile, y« Mayor and Aldermen of y« 
 same, w"i many others. Y^ next day, being y* pub-
 
 40 THE LIFE OF 
 
 lick sessions for y' County, he did in y^ hearing of 
 most of y® Gentlemen y' accompanied him, give 
 y^ charge, to y*^ satisfaction of most persons present : 
 and as it pleased God to end this year ('60) with a 
 new comfort to him — y^ birth of his grandchild, 
 y<= eldest child of his son Cliristopher, named Philip, 
 born in part of Brook House in London, March 21, 
 so y^ year ('61) begun with an honour to him by 
 being chosen, April 4th, one of the K'^ of y^ shire 
 for y* County of Westmoorland, to serve in y*^ par- 
 lament in May following. 
 
 And upon April y^ 5th, his eldest son, Richard, 
 had a daughter born at Hartley Castle, w'^'' was 
 baptized April 16th; and y* day before, his only 
 daughter Francis was married at y^ same place, to 
 Edward Hutchinson, Esq. of Witham Abbey, in 
 Yorkshire. But with those comforts he had good 
 mementos of y*^ insatisfactoryness and emptyness of 
 all worldly things, for his bodily infirmitys and weak- 
 ness increased w"* his years, and hee accounted y"" 
 mercies seasonable, sent by God to draw off his 
 mind from this world, and to prepare him for abet- 
 ter. He was then near to y*^ 55th year of his age, 
 yet did he attend according to his duty his service 
 for his Country in y*^ Parlament iny*^ several sittings 
 anno '61 and 62. 
 
 In y^ year of our Lord '62, He finished a Chapel 
 at Soulby, built at his own Charge, and endowed it 
 with £20 p^ annum forever, payable out of y^ tithe 
 corn at Hartley, for y^ sallery of a minister to read 
 prayers to y'' Inhabitants, and to catechise on Sun- 
 days in y^ afternoon, because y^ people of y' town 
 were seldom comers to y^ Parish Church at y* even- 
 ing service, in respect it was 2 miles off, and in win- 
 ter y« way very bad. 
 
 He also did wainscott and adorne wholly at his 
 own charge y^ quire of y'' Church at Edenhall, and 
 gave several ornaments, by way of thankfulness to 
 God, for y'' many great mercies he had vouchsafed
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSQBAVE, BART. 41 
 
 unto him, and because in y* place he was baptized 
 and made a member of y*^ Catholick Church, and 
 several of his ancestors buried, as also y* body of 
 his dear wife laid to rest within these walls. 
 
 Y« same year y* King gave him a sum of money 
 towards repairing his great losses and sufferings in 
 y^ Wars, w"» w'** money and other ways he re- 
 deemed his Manors of Great Musgrave, Little Mus- 
 grave, and Soulby, in y^ County of Westmoorland, 
 very ancient in his name and family. 
 
 At y'^ same time, he had y"^ comfort of having his 
 4 sons in settled courses. His eldest son Richard, 
 living comfortably at Hartley Castle. His second 
 son, Christopher, a Cap' of foot in Carlile Garrison. 
 His 3''^ son, Simon, Leu' of his own Company ; and 
 his youngest son, Thomas, a Master of Arts and 
 Fellow in Queens CoUedge in Oxford. And in Car- 
 lile Castle was born unto his son Christopher, Mary 
 his eldest daughter, and there baptized, December 
 9th, 1662. He lived then at his house at Edenhall, 
 and kept his son and daughter Hutchinson there 
 w"» him, living orderly and with reputation. 
 
 In y*^ spring and part of y'= summer, Anno 1663, 
 He attended in Parliament, where he had y*' opinion 
 to be a just unbiased person, having equall regard 
 to y*^ interest of King and Country. When he was 
 at his own home, he employed hiraselfe in repairs in 
 and about his Dwelling House, and his publickduty 
 in Cumberland and Westmoorland as deputy Lieu* 
 and Justice of Peace. 
 
 In this year, upon Sunday, y^ 18th of October, 
 being S' Lukes day, y'' Chapell he had built at Soul- 
 by was consecrated by Richard Sterne, Lord Bishop 
 of Carlile. Y"^ Sermon was preached by his ancient 
 and sure friend, M'' Arthur Savage, a preband of 
 Carlile. His text out of Psalmes 132nd, 7th 8th 
 and 9th verses : y** words. 
 
 We will go into his tabernacle, and fall low on 
 our knees before his foot-stool.
 
 42 THE LIFE OF 
 
 Arise, Lord, into thy resting place, thou and 
 the Ark of thy strength. 
 
 Let thy priests be cloathed with righteousness, 
 and lett thy saints sing with joyfulness. 
 
 This sermon was much applauded ; several of y^ 
 Justices of y^ County, many ministers, and many 
 more people then the Chapel would contain, were 
 there. His 4 sons and his son-in-law were present ; 
 and his youngest son Thomas, y^ Sunday before, 
 preached at y* Church of Kirkby-Stephen, to y^ 
 satisfaction of y^ hearers ; his father being much 
 comforted that he lived to hear a son of his in y^ 
 pulpit, and to hear and see a house of his building 
 dedicated to y^ worship and service of God, who 
 had delivered him from so many and great dangers, 
 pardoned him so many and grevious sinns, and in 
 mercy restored him to so many comforts, so much 
 reputation, and y'= opportunities of serving God, his 
 King, and Country. 
 
 Upon Oct. 12, y« next Munday before y^ conse- 
 cration (before mentioned) it pleased God, accord- 
 ing to his accustomed favour unto him, to deliver 
 him from a danger little inferior to any he had been 
 subject too in y'= course of his pilgrimage : for a re- 
 bellious designe being hatched in several parts of 
 this Kingdom against y*^ King and his Government, 
 some traiterous persons in y"^ County of Westmoor- 
 land were ingaged initundery* command of Robert 
 Atkinson of Mallerstang, and met according to ap- 
 pointment in y* night near to Kaben in y* Parish of 
 Kirkby-Stephen, intending to take prisoners and 
 murder S"" Philip, who at y" same time was at Hart- 
 ley, w">in half a mile where they marched, suspect- 
 ing no danger, for the letters that should have 
 given him knowledge of y"^ general design miscarried, 
 as did y"= wicked design of y^ rebels, being discover- 
 ed and prevented in Yorkshire by drawing together 
 y^ forces of that County w*=^ discovered y* traitors, 
 and their hearts failing, they did from their several
 
 SIR PHILIP MUSQRAVE, BART. 43 
 
 places of meeting disperse y^selves without attempt- 
 ing anything. 
 
 S"" Philip Musgrave, as also other Justices of 
 Peace in Westmoorland, was instrumental in dis- 
 covering y* names of those y' were at this meeting, 
 to apprehend many of them, and bring them to their 
 tryalsat a Goale delivery held Mar. 18"^ at Appleby, 
 before Judge Twesden and Baron Turner. S'' Philip 
 was likewise in Commission with them, andy<^ man- 
 age of y' affair rested much upon him : 4 were con- 
 demned; several y' were fled outlawed; and 3 
 chosen by S"' Philip to serve as witnesses, were par- 
 doned by y*= King, who took notice of and well 
 accepted S"" Philips service in this affair, which ser- 
 vice performed, he did attend y^ Parlam' then 
 sitting. 
 
 After his returne, upon y^ 2°'' July, 1664, was 
 born at y^ castle of Carlile, Christopher Musgrave, 
 2°d son of Christopher, 2"^ son of S^ Philip ; but 
 this comfort was quickly overtaken, upon Sunday, 
 July lO^'^ w*^ a considerable Loss to y^ family, by 
 y^ death of Mary Musgrave, Wife of Christopher ; a 
 person of more than ordinary parts and breeding, 
 well natured, kind to all her husbands friends, 
 nobeley inclined, and religiously disposed ; giving 
 full assurance in y*^ time of her sickness before many 
 hearers of her faith in Christ, and y"^ few of her sex 
 better understood y"^ grounds and reasons for believ- 
 ing. By her own desire to S'' Philip, she was buried, 
 July y« 12"" in y* Parish Church at Edenhall, in 
 y^ quire, near to y<' grave of her husbands mother. 
 M"" Arthur Savage, y*^ continued his constant affec- 
 tions to y* family, was moved by herself to preach 
 her funeral Sermon. Y*^ text she commended to him 
 was in Tim. Chap. 1, ver. 15""' "This is a faithfull 
 saying, and worthy of all acceptation, y^ Christ Jesus 
 came into the World to save sinners of whom I am 
 chief" Y^ preacher needed speak little of her ; her 
 own requiring he should be silent upon y' point,

 44 THE LIFE or 
 
 did sufficiently speak htr wisdome and humility^ 
 y^ chief ornaments of a knowing Christian. 
 
 Upon Friday Oct. 14, Anno 1666, S'' Philip Mus- 
 grave, being Elected Maior of y* City of Carlile, 
 took y*^ oaths accustomed, and was invested in y^ 
 office, not by his own seeking, but because he would 
 refuse no opportunity of servmg his King and Comi- 
 try when finely offered to him. 
 
 In 6 years time from y^ great and happy revolution 
 of public affairs in this Kuigdome, God had vouch- 
 safed many outward blessings to him, to try if y*^ tast 
 of hony would inlighten his eyes, y' he might have 
 a more clear discerning of his omissions of publick 
 and privatt duty's, and of Gods continued goodness 
 and mercy to him, who in his wisdome now thought 
 fitt to make use of a sharp eie salue : for he being 
 at Witham to give his son-in-law and daughter 
 Hutchinson a visitt, accompanied w"' his 2 sons, 
 Kichard and Simon, upon y^ 25"* June, Anno 1666, 
 y^ weather being violently hott, M"^ Simon and his 
 brother Hutchinson going about 9 o'Clock at Night 
 to swim in a water about a mile from y' place, 
 M"' Simon was suddenly drowned. His body found 
 within few hours, y'' next night buried in y*^ Quire ui 
 Witham Church ; His sad father and brother being 
 present. He was a young man generally well es- 
 teemed, his death much lamented of all y' knew him, 
 and very passionately by y*^ souldiers in y*^ garrison 
 at Carlile where he was Lieu' to his father's Compa- 
 S"^ Philip was now m y^ SQ'^'year of his Age, and 
 did consider this affliction as a warning peace to 
 admonish him to prepare for his own dissolution w"i 
 Christian submission to God's good pleasure, and 
 rightly to consider y^ uncertainty and vanity of all 
 things under the sun. 
 
 Yet God, according to his accustomed mercy, did 
 temper this bitter Cup with a new comfort, y'= hopes 
 of his daughter Hutchinson being with child; vv<='' 
 waa accomplished iu God's appointed tin^e ; for she
 
 SIH PHILIP MUSGRAVB, BART. 45 
 
 (after she had lived 5 years and a half with her hus- 
 band w'**out having any Child) was upon y'' 19"* of 
 December, in y^ year 1666, betwixt 3 and 4 of y^ 
 Clock in y^ afternoone, brought to bed of a Son, 
 who, upon S' John day following, was baptized in 
 ye City of Yorke where he was borne, and named 
 Edward. 
 
 In June, 1667, when y"^ French and Dutch were 
 in arms ag^' y^ English, and that by the mediation 
 of y'' Crown of Sweed, a treaty of peace was assented 
 to by all parties, and Commissioners mett at Breda, 
 and memorials delivered in, and y^ King of England, 
 to manifest his inclination to peace, did not rig out 
 his best ships nor intended any ingagement at sea 
 with y*^ Dutch fleet, lest occasion might arise from 
 thence to sharpen humours and interrupt y*^ proceed- 
 ings for peace. 
 
 At y^ same time y*^ Dutch dishonestly and basely 
 did attempt v/^^ their whole strength at sea to fire 
 his Ma'>* ships at Chattam dock, and to make an 
 hostUe invasion upon y^ land w"* fire and sword ; 
 w"^^ occasioned his Majesty to provide for y'' general 
 safety of his Kingdome; and to y' end, sent his 
 Commissioners to several Pears of y"^ realm and 
 other persons of Quality, for raising severall regi- 
 ments of foot and 31 troops of horse, of w*^"* S'' Philip 
 Musgrave had commission for one sent to him, when 
 he did lest expect such an honour. His years, in- 
 firmitys, and inclinations to retiredness, keeping 
 him back from making any. application upon that 
 account. Yet after he did receive his Ma^i* com- 
 mands, He did in ten days time raise his troop, and 
 no sooner was it passed muster, but immediately 
 sent for, by y« Earl of Carlile, Commander with y^ 
 Earl of Ogle of y*^ 4 Northern Counties, into Nor- 
 thumberland. 
 
 He made his son-in-law, IVP Hutchinson, Lieu* of 
 his troop, (but this troop continued but a few weeks 
 before it was disbanded, as were all new-raised 
 troops and regiments of foot, upon occasion of y«
 
 46 THE LIFE OV 
 
 alarum from y^ Dutch at Chattam ;) and y« peace 
 being concluded, there was not any further use of 
 y™ . ¥•= order for disbanding was as welcome to 
 S' Philip, as his commission for raising itt. 
 
 Y« time for y« meeting of y« Parlament drawing 
 nigh, He made his accustomed application to my 
 L° Arlington, to obtain y« Kings leave for his atten- 
 dance there, w'** was granted ; and at y« same time 
 he did receive orders from my L** Generall, for y^ 
 disbanding y*^ 2 Companys of S"^ Edward Musgrave, 
 in y^ Garrison at Carlile, and his sons, Cap' Chris- 
 topher Musgrave, w<=^ was performed at y^ time 
 limited. 
 
 It was a trouble to y^ Governour, in regard of 
 y* known loyalty and worth of S"" Edward Musgrave, 
 his long grounded friendship to him, y^ abilities, 
 faithfulness, and kindness to y^ Governour, and 
 most of y*^ inferior officers in those companys, and 
 y' his son should be removed from a capacity of as- 
 sisting him in his military employment, age and in- 
 firmity's making him less fitt for cares and action 
 than he had been formerly. 
 
 During y* sitting of y*= sessions of Parlament, He 
 was esteemed to be instrumental in y^ House of 
 Commons, in crossing y*^ desires of those who did 
 desire y** procuring a toleration of different opinions 
 in matters of religion. This service gained 3iim 
 y« acknowledgement of y* Bishops and orthodox 
 Clergy. 
 
 In May he returned home, and by the way was 
 at y'' house of his son Hutchinson, where he did see 
 another grand-child, Julian Hutchinson, born at 
 Withara Abbey, April y^ 10'*^ 1668, and baptized 
 April 24^^ 
 
 In this year, one M"' Eglanby, a young Justice of 
 Peace and Alderman in Carlile, envious of y* Gover- 
 nours authority, and supposing himselfe fit and able 
 to manage y* whole aflaire of y' Corporation, encour- 
 aged by some factious persons w"'in y^ walls, or 
 some persons of better quality without, put himselfe
 
 SIB PHILIP MUSGRAVE, BART. 47 
 
 in opposition to the military power, propounded to 
 y* Aldermen and Freemen of y^ City certain heads 
 of grevances from y* Garrison, procured their assent 
 that he should draw up an order to authorize him- 
 selfe to endeavour y® redress of those grevances ; 
 ■w"='^ accordingly he did, w^** as bitter expressions and 
 aggrevations as malice could invent. 
 
 Y^ Governour having notice of it, complained to 
 y^ King and Counsell ; Eglanby is ordered to appear 
 at the Counsell board ; w'^'' he did, and upon y"^ 23'^ of 
 October, y« whole matter was heard before y*= King 
 and Duke of York, and 22 more of y« Privy 
 Counsell ; and in conclusion, an order made y' y* 
 letter of attorney Eglanby had procured, was surrep- 
 tisously obtained to pass under y^ Cityseale; y' y* 
 matter of itt was false, scandalous, tending to sedi- 
 tion, disobedient to his Ma'^ and hazardous to y* 
 peace and safety of y^ Garrison ; y*^ y* officers were 
 innocent of any of y^ crimes objected ; andy' Eglan- 
 by should make an acknowledgement of his misde- 
 meanour, publicly before y* Aldermen and Councell, 
 in such manner as y'= Governour should direct, and 
 before him and Garrison officers, 
 
 Y^ King did in full counsell mention with much 
 kindness y* exemplary fidelity of y'^ Governour to 
 y^ late King his father and to himselfe, to y'^ great 
 honour of liim,y^ great satisfaction ofhis friends, and 
 discouragement to his enimys, who, whether pre- 
 suming upon his old age or y^ greatness of some 
 y' had no real kindness for him, thought in this 
 affair to have ruined his reputation, and that done, 
 to have divested him of his employment. 
 
 But God, y"^ can bring good out of evil, did order 
 in this affaire y"^ w' was desined with malice and 
 confidence enough to ruine y^ Governour, proved 
 to his greatest honour. M"' Eglanby did accord- 
 ing to y^ order make a publick acknowledgement 
 of his misdemenour. 
 
 In y'= year following, March 30"' 1669, he was 
 present in Carlile at y« instalment of his youngest
 
 48 The life of 
 
 son, Thomas, Prebend of y^ Church of Carlile and 
 Archdeacon of y* Diocese; which was one of his 
 greatest comforts in this world to see a son of his 
 called to y*' attendance of y^ altar of God. 
 
 In this year, his daughter, Hutchinson, had ano- 
 ther Daughter, born at Witham Abbie, and baptized 
 there, named Frances ; and in October, S'" Philip 
 attended parlaraent, and at his first coming to Lon- 
 don met with an aifectionate regard of him by 
 Doct*" Morley, Bishop of Winchester, who of his own 
 accord did bestow upon Archdeacon Musgrave a 
 considerable Church living called Alverstock, within 
 2 miles of Portsmouth : and within a few weeks after, 
 y^ King gave his son Christopher, a Commission to 
 command a foot Company in y'' regiment of his 
 Mary's Guard. 
 
 In y^ year ('71,) his Son Christopher Musgrave 
 married Elizabeth Francklaine, sister to S'' Richard 
 Francklaine, of Moor in y^ County of Hartford, 
 Bar"; immediately after which y^ King gave him 
 y^ order of Knighthood; and y^ year following, his 
 Wife bore a son at Carlile Castle, who died when 
 he was about a quarter of a year old, and was buried 
 in y^ Cathedral Church there. In y^ year ('73,) He 
 hiad another Son by Elizabeth his Wife, bom like- 
 wise at Carlile Castle, named John. 
 
 And this year S"^ Philip begun and finished a little 
 oratory on y'' front of his house at Edenhall, for 
 y« public and family worship of God ; having before 
 in y^ year (71) repaired and furnished y® ancient 
 Chapel at Hartley Caslle, at his own charge, as also 
 such rooms as had been left unfinished in y"^ time

 His daughter Hutchinson, Anno ('73,) was mo- 
 ther to 2 younger sons, Philip and Richard ; her 
 eldest son Edward and 2 daughters then living. Her 
 husband having a long time had a great inclination

 At Michaelmas, Anao 1674, His son Thomas 
 mirried Mary, youngest daughter to S' Thomas 
 Harrison, sister to his eldest brothers wife, and like 
 unto her in modesty and discretion. W'^in i^ year 
 she brought her husband a son w*** they named 
 Pnilip, but at y'' age of 63 days he died, and ly's 
 burieJ in y"^ Qaire iii Edenhall Church. 
 
 Y*^ same year died John Mnsgrave, y^ 2"** son of 
 S"^ Christopher Musgrave, by his 2'^'^Wife, and was 
 buried in y^ Cathedral at Carlile. Anno ('76,) June 
 y« first, His Son Thomas had a Daughter born to 
 him by his Wife Mary, and named Margarett. In 
 this year there was born to S"" Christopher Musgrave 
 at L")ndon a Son which was named Joseph. 
 
 Y« 10''» of August, 1677, died at Great Salkeld, 
 Mary, Wife of his Son, Thomas Musgrave. In y^ 
 last Sceane of her life, her piety, prudence, and good 
 nature, appeared in great luster. August y^ IV^ she 
 was interred in y'= Quire of y*^ Church at Edenhall, 
 near to her Son. M"" Savage one of y*^ prebands of 
 Carlile, and most constant friend to y*^ family, preach- 
 ed her funeral Sermon. In Sept. y^ same year, was 
 born to his son Christopher, a daughter, named 
 Francess, and baptized in November following. 
 His Son, S"^ Christopher Musgrave, came from Lon- 
 don to give him a visitt, which was a great comfort 
 to him. 
 
 Soon after, y^ infirmities of body, w'^'* for some 
 years before had sometimes given trouble to him, 
 did now increase upon him to that degree that he 
 was seldom well, and before y"^ latter end of January 
 was reduced to a great degree of weakness. God 
 was very good to him in giving him great patience 
 to endure itt and he did heartily thank God for it, as 
 mercy's sent to him for the good of his soul, to pre- 
 pare him for his great change : and his sickness 
 gave him opportunity fully to understand y' w*^'' was 
 the greatest wordly comfort he did enjoy in relation 
 to his family, and that was a mutual Kindness and

 good understanding amongst all his Children, Sons 
 cuid Daughters. 
 
 S"" Philip hastened his son, S"" Christopher Mus- 
 grave, to be at y" beginning of y^ Parlament, who 
 sett out from Edenhall, January y^ 5"^ directly for 
 London. S"^ Philip would not suffer him to stay with 
 him, and sayd he might not neglect his duty in at- 
 tending his Ma*y'* service and his place in Parlament. 
 
 [S' Philip Musgrave died on the 7^^ Feb. 1678, 
 aged 70, and lies interred in the Chancell of y"^ Parish 
 Church of Edenhall.]

 ARREST. 
 
 Dear Wife, 
 
 You have been long a practicer in 
 God's school, and are not now to learn y' Death it- 
 selfe is not more certain than y^ Benefits arising by 
 it to God's children : after man's fall, God provided 
 y^ Remedy to put a period to man's misery. It is 
 God's decree, a piece of y^ World's order, we do in 
 some sort perform w* is required of us by a willing 
 submission to it. We ought not to court w' is not 
 ours, the Time we leave behind us belongs no more 
 to us, than those y* were before us ; our being sent 
 into y^ World was for no other end, buty* glorifying 
 God in our generation, uponDeath we may from thence 
 take our rise to Heaven. Yo "^self and my Children 
 are y'= nearest Relations, y<^ Greatest Comforts I have 
 upon Earth, the strongest motives to invite my De- 
 sires (if God please) to live longer w*^'' you : but if 
 he hath put a period to my Days, and my appointed

 time be come, is not God as well Y^ God of my seed, 
 as my God ; can I doubt but he will provide for 
 mine, things necessary for this Life ; y' thro' y'^ a- 
 bundance of his mercy in X* Jesus, hath laid up for 
 me treasure in Heaven. Put on therefore, I beseech 
 you, a Christian Resolution, submit patiently to his 
 pleasure who disposeth all things to y'' good of his 
 children. My remove out of y^ Reach of all Em- 
 mies may put an end to y^ many Cares and fears 
 wherew^'^ you have been afflicted for me ; My faith- 
 full friend S"" Tho. Wharton, the Lord recompence 
 him seven fold into his Bosom for kindnesses shewn 
 to me in my Distress, all mine know y* and share 
 iny^Benifit; I do therefore passionately request 
 them, to be always according to their power grate- 
 full, respective and serviceable, to him and his ; to 
 have always an Esteem for all others that you know 
 have truly loved me, whom I pray for as I do for my- 
 self and my Children, that God will pardon you y"^ 
 Sins, y' he will settle his fear in y*" Hearts, y' he will 
 guide you in y'^ way of Life, y'^ he will afford you his 
 speciall presence, and assistance iny^ houre of Death, 
 where we must all come, and there we must part, 
 untill we meet again in Heaven, y^ End of our Hopes, 
 y^ object of all our Desines, y*' expectation of which 
 by y^ only merits, and passion of my Saviour Christ 
 Jesus doth now wholly possess y^ soul of 
 
 Your loveing Husband
