Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lancashire, Vol. 2 of 2: Its Puritanism and Nonconformity
Of the Lancashire members of parliament, the only one who signed the death warrant of the king was John Moore of Liverpool. He seems to have been ashamed of his signature, or, as is much more likely, afraid of its conso quences. N oble says he did not sign, but Mr. Heywood, ' the editor of the Moore Rental, ' says he did. It seems; strange that, with jthe document to be consulted, there should be any dispute, In various 'copies of the deed his name does not appear, but in the original there is an illegible scrawl which issaid to be the signature of John Moore. It was so interpreted when produced after the Restoration in the Old Bailey; as indeed, if it be the signature of anyone, it can be that of no one else.
