WHereas mentian hath been made in several printed Books, that John Fowk Alderman
was one of those persons that did actually sit as Judges upon the Trial
of his Majesty, with the Council and Attendants of the Court; and was in the
number of the Judges at the Kings Sentence of death. These are to give notice
to all men, that the same is most salfe and scandalous, as will many ways appear;
and in parcicular, by the Certificate of Henry Scobell, Cleark of the Parliament,
in these words following, viz.
In a Book ordered by the Parliament to be kept among the Records
of the Parliament read in the House the 11th. Of December, 1650. and intilled,
A Journal of the proceedings of the High court of Justice, erected by Action the
commons of England, Intituled, and Act of the Commons of England Assemble [unr]
Parliament for erecting of an High Court of Justice for the trying and judging of
Charles Stuart, king of England, in which Book are set down the names of the
Commissioners appearing every day in court; Having diligently searched the same,
the name of John Fowke, Alderman of London is not therein mentioned as being
present with the commissioners at any meeting upon the said Tryal, either publick or
private.
