is
the

that

Prince
,
when

from

is
within
their

,
distrust

Some
wondred
how
He
could
imagine
there
would
be
any
Moderation
in
so
corrupt
a
Generation
of
Men
,
and
that
they
who
had
broken
the
Peace
out
of
a
desire
of

,
should
now
lay
aside
their
Arms
out
of
a
love
to
Quiet

That
there
would
be
alwaies
the
same
causes
to
the
Scots
of
disturbing
England
,
and
opposing
Government
,
their
unquiet
Nature
and
Covetousness
:
therefore
unless
some
strong
impression
made
them
either
unable
or
unwilling
to
distract
our
quiet
,
the
King
was
to
look
for
a
speedy
return
of
their
Injuries
.
Others
attributed
the
Accord
to
the
King's
sense
that
some
eminent
Officers
in
his
own
Camp
were
polluted
with
Counsels
not
different
from
the
Covenanters
:
and
that
Hamilton
His
Admiral
had
betrayed
the
seasons
of
fighting
by
riding
quietly
in
the
Forth
of
Edinburgh
;
and
had

Conference
with
his
Mother
,

Nurse

most
referred
it
to

to
His
Prudence

to
defile
His
Glory
with
the
overthrow
(
which
seemed
probable

of

contemptible

could
not

if

in

found

,
He
ought
not
to
pass

for
matter
of

what
was
Treason
,
he
referred

ought

and
His

:
Durham
,
Lincoln
,
Carlisle
Continuation
of
the
Parliament
during
the
pleasure
of
the
Two
Houses
.
The
passing
of
these
two
Bills
,
as
some
thought
,
wounded
the
King's
Greatness
more
than
any
thing
He
ever
did
.
The
first
,
because
it
cut
off
a
most
exquisite
Instrument
of
Empire
,
and
a
most
faithful
Servant
:
and
none
did
more
make
use
of
this
to
pollute
His
Honour
,
than
those
who
had
even
forced
Him
to
it
;
like
those
malignant
and
damned
Spirits
who
upbraid
unhappy
Souls
with
those
Crimes
and
ruines
to
which
they
themselves
have
tempted
and
betrayed
them
.
But
the
heaviest
Censor
was
Himself
,
for
he
never
left
bewailing
His
Compliance
,
or
rather
Connivence
,
with
this
Murder
,
till
the
issue
of
his
Blood
dried
up
those
of
His
Tears
.
By
the
other
Bill
He
had
,
as
some
censured
,
renounced
His
Crown
,
and
granted
it
to
those
men
who
at
present
exercised
so
Arbitrary
a
Power
,
that
they
wanted
nothing
but
length
of
time
to
be
reputed
Kings
,
and
this
they
now
had
gotten
.
But
the
more
Speculative
concluded
it
an
act
of
especial
Prudence
,
for
the
King
made
that
an
evidence
of
His
sincere
intention
to
oblige
His
people
,
and
overcome
the
Malice
of
His
Enemies
with
Benefits
:
which
the
Faction
would
have
usurped
,
and
by
the
boldness
of
the
attempt
ingaged
the
People
to
them
as
the
only
Patrons
of
their
Liberty
.
And
they
were
furnished
with
an
Example
for
it
by
their
Confederates
in
Scotland
,
who
indicted
an
Assembly
without
the
King's
leave
,
and
continued
it
against
His
pleasure
;
and
(
as
all
imitations
of
Crimes
exceed
their
first
pattern
)
it
was
conceived
these
men
whose
furies
were
more
unjust
,
and
so
would
be
more
fierce
,
intended
to
improve
that
Precedent
to
the
extreamest
guilt
.
He
was
a
person
of
a
generous
Spirit
,
fitted
for
the
noblest
enterprises
,
and
the
most
difficult
parts
of
Empire
.
His
Counsels
were
bold
,
yet
just
,
and
he
had
a
Vigour
proper
for
the
Execution
of
them
.
Of
an
Eloquence
,
next
to
that
of
his
Master's
,
masculine
,
and
most
excellent
.
He
was
no
less
affectionate
to
the
Church
than
to
the
State
,
and
not
contented
while
living
to
defend
the
Government
and
Patrimony
of
it
,
he
commended
it
also
to
his
Son
when
he
was
about
to
die
,
and
charged
his
abhorrency
of
Sacriledge
.
His
Enemies
called
the
Majesty
of
his
Miene
in
his
Lieutenancy
,
Pride
,
and
the
undaunted
execution
of
his
Office
on
the
contumacious
,
the
insolency
of
his
Fortune
.
He
was
censured
for
committing
that
fatal
Errour
of
following
the
King
to
London
and
to
the
Parliament
after
the
Pacification
with
the
Scots
at
York
;
and
it
was
thought
that
if
he
had
gone
over
to
his
charge
in
Ireland
,
he
might
have
secured
both
himself
and
that
Kingdom
for
his
Majesty's
Service
.
But
some
attributed
this
Counsel
to
a
necessity
of
Fate
,
whose
first
stroke
is
at
the
brain
of
those
whom
it
designs
to
ruine
,
and
brought
him
to
feel
the
effects
of

Rage
,
which
himself
in

had
used
against

,

Some
thought
it
unadvisedly
done
,
to
withdraw
so
far
from
London
,
to
leave
His
chief
City
wholly
to
the
practices
,
and
expose
His
Friends
there
to
the
Impostures
and
Injuries
of
his
Enemies
.
Others
,
especially
the
friends
of
the
Faction
,
defamed
it
as
a
preparing
Himself
for
that
War
which
followed
.
But
others
concluded
it
as
an
act
of
Necessity
,
and
where
there
was
no
choice
for
Prudence
.
For
when
He
had
passed
more
obliging
Acts
,
and
parted
with
so
much
of
His
Prerogative
and
so
many
undoubted
Rights
of
His
Crown
,
as
could
not
be
equalled
by
the
Grants
of
all
His
Predecessors
,
yet
He
found
that
He
had
effected
nothing
more
by
giving
,
than
to
make
the
Faction
more
eagerly
desire
what
they
knew
He
must
in
Honour
and
Conscience
deny
;
and
that
the
People
were
so
bewitched
as
not
to
see
,
it
is
safer
to
trust
Him
who
was
contented
with
a
less
degree
of
Power
,
than
those
whose
ambition
and
avarice
knew
no
bounds
:
Who
being
thus
deluded
as
so
far
to
administer
to
the
Lusts
of
their
Disturbers
,
would
not
fail
their
assistance
to
seize
upon
His
Person
,
unless
in
time
He
did
provide
for
His
Liberty
.
Nor
could
it
be
imagined
that
He
meditated
a
War
,
who
to
make
His
people
happy
(
if
they
had
not
despised
their
own
Mercies
)
had
deprived
Himself
of
a
power
to
manage
it
.
For
besides
those
Acts
formerly
mentioned
,
He
had
signed
many
other
as
prejudicial
to
such
an
undertaking
.
For
He
had
passed
Acts
against
His
own
power
of
Impressing
Souldiers
,
His
right
to
Tonnage
and
Poundage
,
the
Stannary
Courts
,
Clerk
of
the
Market
,
the
Presidial
Courts
in
the
North
,
and
Marches
of
Wales
;
whereby
He
had
not
only
diminished
His
Greatness
,
and
that
Reverence
which
was
due
to
the
Crown
,
but
also
so
streightned
His
Revenue
as
it
was
not
able
to
maintain
Discipline
,
without
which
no
hopes
of
Victory
,
especially
in
a
Civil
War
.
Besides
,
His
Enemies
in
every
County
had
injured
His
Fame
,
which
is
of
great
moment
in
the
deciding
Controversies
by
the
Sword
;
and
the
City
of
London
,
which
is
the
grand
Treasury
of
the
Wealth
and
Strength
of
the
whole
Nation
,
was
now
enslaved
by
the
Rabble
to
their
commands
.
All
which
considerations
as
they
could
not
escape
so
Wise
a
Prince
,
so
would
they
not
permit
the
Designs
of
War
,
especially
in
that
Breast
,
to
which
it
was
equally
miserable
to
suffer
the
spilling
of

Subjects
blood
,
as
to
expose
Himself
to
Ruine
.
So
that
His
departure
from
London
was
not
of
Design
,
but
Necessity
,
nor
was
there
in
it
more
of
Fear
than
Shame
;
for
He
could
not
longer
endure
those
detestable
Spectacula
,
in
which
Tumults
like
Beasts
were
let
loose
to
assault

William
Laud
That
he
was
now
shortly
to
give
account
of
all
his
Actions
at
an
higher
and
more
equal
Tribunal
,
and
desired
he
might
not
be
disturbed
in
his
Preparations
for
it
.
He
was
a
Person
of
so
great
Abilities
(
which
are
the
Designations
of
Nature
to
Dignity
and
Command
,
)
that
they
raised
him
from
low
beginnings
to
the
highest
Office
the
Protestant
Profession
acknowledges
in
the
Church
.
And
he
was
equal
to
it
.
His
Learning
appear'd
eminent
in
his
Book
against
Fisher
,
and
his
Piety
illustrious
in
his
Diary
(
although
published
by
One
that
was
thirsty
of
his
blood
,
and
polluted
with
many
malicious
comments
and
false
Surmises
to
make
him
odious
.
)
He
was
of
so
Publick
a
Spirit
,
that
both
the
Church
and
State
have
lasting
Monuments
of
the
Vertuous
use
of
his
Prince's
favour
;
at
his
Admittance
into
which
he
dedicated
all
the
future
Emoluments
of
it
to
the
Glory
of
God
and
the
Good
of
Men
,
by
a
Projection
of
many
noble
Works
:
most
of
which
he
accomplished
,
and
had
finished
the
rest
had
not
the
Fate
of
the
Nation
checked
the
current
of
his
Designs
,
and
cut
off
the
Course
of
his
Life
.
He
was
not
contented
by
himself
only
to
serve
his
Generation
,
(
for
so
he
might
have
appeared
more
greedy
of
Fame
,
than
desirous
of
the
Universal
Benefit
)
but
he
endeavoured
to
render
all
others
as
Heroick
,
if
they
aimed
at
a
Capacity
for
his
Friendship
:
for
(
I
have
heard
it
from
his
Enemies
)
no
great
man
was
admitted
to
a
confidence
and
respect
with
him
,
unless
he
made
his
Address
by
some
Act
that
was
for
the
Common
Good
,
or
for
the
Ornament
and
Glory
of
the
Protestant
Faith
.
Learned
men
had
not
a
better
Friend
,
nor
Learning
it self
a
greater
Advancer
;
he
searched
all
the
Libraries
of
Asia
,
and
from
several
parts
of
the
World
purchased
all
the
Ornaments
and
Helps
of
Literature
he
could
,
that
the
English
Church
might
have
(
if
possible
)
by
his
Care
as
many
Advantages
for
Knowledge
as
almost
all
Europe
did
contribute
to
the
Grandeur
of
that
of
Rome
.
The
Outward
Splendour
of
the
Clergy
was
not
more
his
Care
than
their
Honour
by
a
grave
and
pious
Conversation
;
he
would
put
them
into
a
power
of
doing
more
good
,
but
was
severe
against
their
Vices
and
Vanities
.
He
scorned
a
private
Treasure
,
and
his
Kindred
were
rather
relieved
than
raised
to
any
greatness
by
him
.
In
his
Election
of
Friends
,
he
was
determinated
to
the
Good
and
Wise
,
and
such
as
had
both
Parts
and
Desires
to
profit
the
Church
,
had
his
closest
Embraces
;
if
otherwise
it
happened
,
their
frauds
,
not
his
choice
,
deserved
the
blame
.
Both
Papists
and
Sectaries
were
equally
his
Enemies
;
one
Party
feared
,
and
the
other
hated
his
Vertues
.
Some
censured
him
of
too
much
Heat
,
and
a
Zeal
for
Discipline
above
the
Patience
of
the
Times
.
But
his
greatest
unhappiness
was
that
he
lived
in
a
Factious
Age
,
and
Corrupt
State
,
and
under
such
a
Prince
,
whose
Vertues
not
admitting
an
immediate
approach
for
Accusations
,
was
to
be
wounded
in
those
whom
He
did
Caress
.
But
when
Faction
and
Malice
are
worn
out
by
time
,
Posterity
shall
ingrave
him
in
the
Albe
of
the
most
Excellent
Prelates
,

most
indulgent
Fathers
of
the
Church
,
and
the
most
injured
Martyrs
.
His
blood
was
accompanied
with
some
tears
that
fell
from
those
Eyes
which
expected
a
pleasure
at
his
Death
,
and
it
had
been
followed
with
a
more
general
mourning
,
had
not
the
Publick
Miseries
and
present
fears
of
Ruine
exacted
all
the
Stock
of
Grief
for
other
objects

wondred

had
sought
a

where
the

began
,
and
how
He
could
apprehend
to
find

from
those
that
were
not
only
the
Authors
of
His
Troubles
,
but
now
the
great
Advancers
of
His
Overthrow

they
conceived
no

or

can
be

sufficient

judged
that
in

wherein
the

was

,
it
was
as
dangerous
not
to
trust
as
to
be
deceived
;
no
Counsel
could
be
better
,
than
to
try
whether
a
Confidence
in
them
would
make
them
faithful
,
and
whether
they
would
then
be
honest
,
when
they
had
the
Critical
Opportunity
to
testifie
to
the
World
,
that
they
intended
not
what
they
did

what
they
said

When
this
Remonstrance
was
published
,
the
minds
of
men
were
variously
affected
.
Some
wondred
that
persons
of
so
abject
a
Condition
should
dare
to
endeavour
the
alteration
of
an
ancient
Government
,
an
attempt
so
far
above
their
fortune
;
and
to
design
against
the
Person
of
their
Sovereign
,
who
by
the
Splendour
of
His
former
Majesty
,
and
by
a
continued
Descent
from
so
many
Royal
Progenitors
,
had
derived
all
that
challenges
the
Reverence
of
the
People
.
And
they
thought
the
act
so
full
of
a
manifest
Wickedness
,
that
the
Contrivers
could
not
really
intend
the
Execution
,
but
only
used
it
as
a
Mormo
to
frighten
the
King
and
Parliament
to
hearken
to
their
Pretensions
of
a
lesser
guilt
.
Others
considering
their
former
Crimes
and
Injuries
both
to
King
and
People
,
and
their
damnable
blasphemies
of
the
Almighty
God
,
did
truly
judge
that
their
preceding
Iniquities
had
now
habituated
and
temper'd
them
for
the
extremest
mischiefs
;
and
that
having
proceeded
thus
far
,
they
would
think
their
Safety
consisted
in
an
accumulation
of
their
Sins
.
Only
they
admired
that
these
men
would
discredit
their
ancient
Arts
of
pretending
to
God's
Direction
,
(
in
which
they
could
not
so
easily
by
every
Vulgar
judgment
be
deprehended
,
)
by
boasting
of
the
Concurrence
of
the
People
,
which
was
too
evident
a
Cheat
,
for
not
one
in
a
thousand
through
the
whole
Nation
but
did
abominate
their
practices
.
But
others
more
Speculative
knew
it
was
the
accustomed
Method
of
the
Subverters
of
a
lawful
Magistracy
and
Invaders
of
a
Tyranny
,
first
to
seek
the
favour
of
the
Rabble
by
high
pretences
of
Liberty
and
Justice
,
and
then
to
boast
of
it
as
though
they
had
it
,
and
were
entrusted
by
the
People
to
recover
what
they
presented
to
their
hopes
and
desires
;
and
that
these
men
following
the
same
practices
,
would
be
the
greatest
Oppressors
of
those
whom
they
pretended
to
vindicate

Those
that
beheld
these
vicissitudes
wondred
,
and
acknowledged
the
just
Judgement
of
God
,
that
had
thus
visibly
and
properly
punished
the
Injustice
of
these
men
against
their
Lawful
Sovereign
,
by
the
ministry
of
their
own
more
vile
and
mercenary
Souldiers
,
and
did
thus
upbraid
them
with
the
falseness
of
their
Principles
by
which
they
acted
against
the
King
;
the
very
same

serving

honest
this
violence
that
was
committed
on

for
both
equally
pretended

and
Self-preservation

Others
were
inquisitive
for

of

men
,
who

,

only
like
the
Statues
of
their
Ancestors
,
had
nothing
but
their
Names
to
make
them
knownunto

those

that
cannot

were

them
was
accused
of

;
Another
had
published
a
Book
of
Blasphemies

could

get

Oppressions

their

Enemies

these
Men
would
murther
their

Prince

against

they
had
nothing
more
to
object
than
the
unhappy
issues

How
false
those
Imputations

Tyranny

Treason
and
Murther
were
,
was
sufficiently
understood
by
those
who
considered
the
peaceful
part
of
the
King's
Reign
;
wherein
it
was
judged
,
that
if
in
any
thing
He
had
declined
from
the

arts
of

,
it
was
in
the
neglect
of
a
just
Severity

Seditious
Persons

the
Laws
had
condemned
to
die
.
And
in
the
War
it
was
known
how
often
his
Lenity
had
clipped
the
Wings
of
Victory
.
But
it
appeared
that
these
Men
,
as
they
had
broken
all
Rights
of
Peace
,
so
they
would
also
those
of
Conquest
,
and
destroy
that
which
their
Arms
pretended
to
save
.
For
it
was
contrary
to
those
numerous
and
fearful
Obligations
of
their
many
Oaths
;
to
the
Publick
and
Private
Faith
,

was

was
about

detested
the

denounced
the
heavy
Judgments

such
a
sinful

polluted
with
their
Prince's

were
to
expect

Congregations
were
dissolved

bewailed
the
sad
Condition
of
the

the
effect
of
the

of

cursed
their

man
,
and
the
promises
of

by
their
Impostors

And
another
sort
wept
,
because
their
Fears
did
prognosticate
those
Miseries
which
the
Issue
of
His

would
let
in
upon
them

And
every
one
found
matter
of
grief

fear

indignation
in
the
loss
of
so

were

had
accused

whither
We

Our
coming
to
the

was
a
traitorous
Design
against
the
King
and
Parliament
;
That
Our
Proclamation
issued
out
of
the
Apprehension
of
them
was
false
,
scandalous
and
illegal
;
That
it
was
lawful
for

so
really
prosecuted

the
earnest

of

it

in

Sedition
,
to
prevent
the
growth
of
so
blessed
a
fruit

to
word
it
according
to
the
real
Intention
,
When
they
perceived
that
the
most
part
of
the
time
prescribed
for
the
Treaty
was
like
to
be
spent
about
the
Cessation
,
they
gave
power
to
their
Committee
in
the
mean
time
to
treat
upon
the
Propositions
in
order
as
they
had
formerly
Voted
:
and
therefore
beginning
with
His
Majesty's
first
Proposition
,
whereby
His
Majesty
demanded
,
the
Lords
and
Commons
by
their
Committee
made
Him
this
humble
Answer
;
First
,
They
likewise
thereupon
propounded
to
His
Majesty
,
Ireland
.
Which
offer
of
theirs
,
after
some
debate
thereupon
with
the
Committee
,
was
thought
reasonable
,
and
in
effect
concluded
.
And
as
to
the
Demand
of
the
Towns
,
Forts
and
Ships
,
they
in
substance
gave
this
humble
Answer
Unto
which
Offer
of
theirs
His
Majesty
gave
this
conclusive
Answer
His
Majesty
claiming
the
nomination
and
free
election
to
belong
to
Him
of
right
.
And
to
the
Clause
concerning
the
admission
of
Forces
into
those
Forts
,
Castles
and
Towns
,
His
Majesty
would
consent
no
further
than
these
general
terms
;
that
is
,
That
they
should
be
delivered
into
the
hands
of
such
a
Noble
Person
as
His
Majesty
should

to

Himself

would
gladly
know

hinderers

that

His

Army
and
good
Subjects
there
were
in
danger
to
be
devoured
for
want
of
needful
Supplies
forth
of
and
that
His
Majesties
Forces
were
of
Necessity
sent
abroad
,
to
try
what
might
be
done
for
sustaining
them
in
the
Country
,
to
keep
them
alive
until
Supplies
should
get
to
them
:
but
that
design
failing
,
those
their
hopes
were
converted
into
astonishment
,
to
behold
the
Miseries
of
the
Officers
and
Souldiers
for
want
of
all
things
,
and
all
those
Wants
made
unsupportable
in
the
want
of
Food

and
divers
Commanders
and
Officers
declaring
they
had
little
hope
to
be
supplied
by
the
Parliament

pressed
with
so
great
importunity
to
be
permitted
to
depart
the
Kingdom
,
as
that
it
would
be
extreme
difficult
to
keep
them
there
.
That
they
were
expelling
thence
all
Strangers
,
and
must
instantly
send
away
for
thousands
of
poor
despoiled
whose
very
eating
was
then
unsupportable
to
that
place
;
that
their
Confusions
would
not
admit
the
writing
of
many
more
Letters

if
any

And
to
the
end
His
Majesty
and
the
Nation
might
not
irrecoverably
and
unavoidably
suffer

they
did
desire
that
then
(
though
it
were
almost
at
the
point
to
be
too
late
)
supplies
of
Victuals
and
Ammunition

be
hastned
thither
to
keep
life

the
rest
might
follow

being
no
Victual
in

a
hundred
Barrells
of
Powder
left
in
the
store

the
out-Garrisons
(
as
they
were
to
be
instantly
)
were
supplied
and
that
remainder
,
according
to
the
usual
necessary
expence

besides
extraordinary
accidents
,
would
not
last
above
a
Month.

they
were
brought
to
that
great
exigence
,
that
they
were
ready
to
rob
and
spoil
one
another

that
their
Wants
began
to
make
them
desperate
that
if
the
Lords
Justices
and
Council
there
did
not
find
a
speedy
way
for
their
preservation

they
did
desire
that
they
might
have
leave
to
go
away
;
that
if
that
were
not
granted

must
have
recourse

preserve
themselves

unexpressible
grief

six

marvel
why
it
should
be
insisted
on

that
the

not

nominated
by
the
two
Houses

and
that
we

who
were
to

should
name

this

not

if
the
Commissioners

been
severally
chosen

the
memory
of
these
unnatural
Divisions
must
needs
have
been
continued
,
and
probably
being
severally
named
,
they
would
have
acted
dividedly
according
to
several
Interests

and
the
War
thereby
might
be
more
easily
revived
:
against
whom
there
could
be
no
just
Exception
,
if
the
Persons
were
named
equally

Our selves

with
such
penalties

that
whosoever
should
infringe
the

should
be
accounted
most
pernicious
Enemies
to
