Bishop Burnet's late History charg'd with great partiality and misrepresentations, to make the present, and future ages believe, that Arthur Earl of Essex, in 1683, murdered himself. But the Memory of that Great Patriot, is here vindicated from that false Charge, and it's here prov'd, that his Lordship was barbarously Murder'd, in the Tower, the third Morning after his Commitment. And Mr. Braddon, in 1683, was Prosecuted and Fin'd Two Thousand Pounds, and order'd to give Security for his good Behaviour during Life, for Endeavouring, by Lawful Means, to discover this Murder; and he was imprison'd near Five Years, before the Revolution discharg'd him. And, in 1688, and 89 Mr. Braddon prosecuted that Inquiry, before a Secret Committee of Lord's; and near Sixty Witnesses were Examin'd, in relation to that Murder; and An Abstract of their Examinations, is here Reprinted; with Remarks thereupon. And the Reason given why the Lords, upon those Examinations, came to no Resolution, in relation to the manner of his Lordship's Death. With observations upon the suppos'd poysoning of King Charles the Second; and One of the most probable Causes thereof, is here mention'd. Written by Mr. Braddon.
