The bloody assizes: . or, A compleat history of the life of George Lord Jefferies, from his birth to this present time. Wherein, among other things, is given a true account of his unheard of cruelties, and barbarous proceedings, in his whole western-circuit. Comprehending the whole proceedings; arraignment, tryals, and condemnation of all those who suffer'd in the west of England, in the year 1685. With their undaunted courage at the barr, their behaviour in prison, their cruel whippings afterwards, and the remarkable circumstances that attended their executions. To which is added Major Holmes's excellent speech, with the dying speeches and prayers of many other eminent Protestants. None of which were ever before publish'd. Faithfully collected by several west-countrey gentlemen, who were both eye and ear-witnesses to all the matter of fact. With allowance.
