In 1642, by leave of the House, went down to his own house in Cumberland, where, by the power of the Earl of Newcastle's army, he was forced to appear at the said commission, which he yet opposed by hindering the raising of men, and by refusing to let those go out of the county who were already raised; for these acts, and for protecting the well-affected, he was twice by the said Earl imprisoned. Stayed not long at the Oxford Assembly, to which he was by threats and violence compelled to go. 179 600
Since the reduction of his county to Parliament, has conformed to all its ordinances, taken the National Covenant, and paid all assessments. Has been forward to advance the Parliament's service by men, money, horses, and arms, for which he has been plundered by the King's horse, 1,200 in number, quartered on him under Lord Digby and Sir Marmaduke Langdale, both at their going into and returning from Scotland.

Burges is an attorney, and a great enemy to Parliament; he was clerk of His Majesty's Courts of the Manor, &c., of Macclesfield, by reason whereof he had a capacity of doing great disservice to Parliament, and was noted to be an industrious dissuader from its service. He pretends an estate for life in the clerk's place, by patent from the Earl of Derby, then steward of that manor, with which stewardship I am now by Parliament intrusted. When the enemy was potent in Cheshire, there was an assize held at Chester, wherein I and 300 men were indicated of high treason for their service to the Commonwealth, and Burges was an actor therein. 71 609
