A genuine and faithfull account of the sufferings, of William Houlbrook, black-smith of Marlborough, in the reign of King Charles the First. Shewing the artifices and treacherous insinuations of cornet Joyce, Tynn, and others of that horrid crew, how he was ensnar'd into all the dangers and difficulties those regicides could invent. Together with his commitment to Newgate, where he was inhumanly treated, and loaded with irons: also his several examinations before Bradshaw and his execrable companions: with other particulars in prose and verse. The whole written by himself during his confinement. To which is added, a learned speech made by a worthy member of Parliament in the House of Commons, concerning the other House, of that critical and dangerous year 1659.
