To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such a defection was provided for by making twenty members of the Commission sufficient to form a Court ; and the prudence of this step was soon seen. At the first meeting of the Court, in the Painted Chamber, there were only 52 members present; on the second occasion, when the Court entered upon its functions — when the King was arraigned before it, and when every Commissioner present rose to his name, there were 65 present. Upon this critical occasion there was a considerable defection in the... ranks of the Sussex members; but six of them, namely. Peregrine Pelham, Gregory Norton, William Goff"e, William Cawley, James Temple, and John Downes, answered to their names, and Anthony Stapley and Herbert Morley joined on future occasions. John Fagg rather assisted, we are told, in making preparations for the trial than attending it as a Judge; and his name does not appear in any of the sittings. The highest number that sat on the Court at any time was 69. But the number of those who actually signed the warrant for the execution of the King was 59 ; 44 signing their names at once in the Painted Chamber, and 15 afterwards.
