Excerpt from The Tryal of John Hambden, Esq. (of Stoke-Mandeville in the County of Bucks): In the Great Case of Ship-Money, Between His Majesty K. Charles L and That Gentleman The Collection of State-Tryals in Four Volumes in Folio, being a Work so very useful and necessary, to make it more compleat, it was thought fitting (at the Desire of Several Persons of Eminency and Distinction in the Law) to add to it the Remarkable Tryal of Mr. Hambden, in the Great Case of Ship-Money (between His Majesty King Charles I. and that Gentleman.) For that Reason therefore we caused it to be Printed of the same Size, and on the same Paper: Tho' it would have been inserted in the Collection, could the Proprietors of this Copy have been prevailed upon to have parted with their Property to the Undertakers, on their Terms, which were unaccountably unreasonable. It is is true, there are some of the Speeches in Rushworth (a Book very scarce, and in few Hands) but then their Number is but very small, and of one Side only, without the Records and other material Process herein contained, which are carefully Printed from such Authentick Manuscripts, that Envy itself cannot detract from their Intrinsick Worth and Value: And those who would vainly endeavour to Impose on Mankind, That this Tryal is in Rushworth, not only discover their Folly and Ignorance, but shew themselves guilty of Impotent Malice, and most Scandalous and Invidious Reflections.
