That

to

That
no
foraine

should
make

without

That
some
of
them
contradicted
the

,
That
the

should
Treat
in
Honour

,
and
that
He

inseperable
from
the

,
allowed
Him
at

to
deny
it
was
implicitely
to
dethrone
Him
.
That
this
was
true
of
a
King
in
actuall
exercise
of
his
Regall
power
,
which
this
King
neither
is
,
nor
ought
to
be
untill
He
hath
given
satisfaction
to
His
Parliament
:
That
it
was
agreat
condescention
in
them
,
and
below
the
Dignity
of
a
Parliament
to
recall
their
Votes
of
Non
Addresse
,
and
put
the
businesse
of
the
Treaty
thus
forward
;
and
if
He
would
not
accept
of
a
Treaty
upon
such
conditions
as
the
Parliament
thought
fit
,
then
things
would
be
but
where
thy
were

That
the

should
give
His
Royall
word
not
to
remove
out
of
the
Island
during
the
Treaty
,
nor
in
daies
after
,
without
consent
of
the
two
Houses
:
That
some
other
way
must
be
thought
of
besides
force
to
undermine
the
Prince
,
that
since
they
had
subdued
their
Enemies
by

,
it
would
be
a
good
preparative
to
worke
upon
their
Enemies
by

of

;
and
to

That

had
experience

that

most
backwards
in

,
were
such
of

as
had
no
engagement
upon

;
whereas

of

Party
that
have

in

are
as

if

He

who
are
our
Foes

speake
more

We
shall
discover
who
are

That
since
this

was
so
bold
,
to
deale
thus
by
way

,
in
a
threatning
manner
;
and
had
fore-judged

divided

I
hope
it
is
as
lawfull
for

to
put
you
in

Sir

you
will
find
some
desirous
of

,
and
they
are
Losers

Warre
;
Others
are
against

,
and
those
are
Gainers

My
humble

is
,
that
the
Gainers
may
contribute
to
the
Losers
,
that
we
may
all
stand

the

He

Sir
,
you
have
now
heard
your
Charge
,
you
find
that
in
the
close
of
it
,
it
is
prayed
to
the
Court
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Commons
of
that
you
answer
to
your
Charge
,
which
the
Court
expects
.
I
would
know
by
what
power
I
am
called
hither
?
I
was
not
long
agoe
in
the
how
I
came
there
is
a
longer
story
than
I
thinke
fit
at
this
time
for
Me
to
speake
:
But
there
I
entered
into
a
Treaty
with
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
with
as
much
faith
as
is
possible
to
be
had
of
any
People
in
the
world
;
I
Treated
there
with
a
number
of
Honourable
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
an
treated
honestly
and
uprightly
,
I
cannot
say
but
they
did
very
nobly
with
Me
:
We
were
upon
a
Conclusion
of
the
Treaty
.
Now
I
would
know
by
what
lawfull
Authority
I
was
brought
from
thence
,
and
carried
from
place
to
place
?
and
when
I
knew
by
what
lawfull
Authority
,
I
shall
Answer
.
Remember
I
am
your
King
,
your
lawfull
King
,
and
what
sinnes
you
bring
upon
your
owne
heads
,
and
the
judgment
of
God
upon
this
Land
,
think
well
upon
it
,
thinke
well
upon
it
,
I
say
,
before
you
go
on
from
one
sinne
to
a
greater
;
therefore
let
Me
know
by
what
lawfull
Authority
I
am
seated
here
?
and
I
shall
not
be
unwilling
to
Answer
.
In
the
meane
time
I
shall
not
betray
My
trust
:
I
have
a
trust
committed
to
Me
by
God
,
by
old
and
lawfull
discent
;
I
will
not
betray
it
to
Answer
to
a
new
unlawfull
Authority
.
If
you
had
been
pleased
to
have
observed
what
was
hinted
to
you
by
the
Court
at
your
first
coming
hither
,
you
would
have
knowne
by
what
Authority
:
which
Authority
requires
you
in
the
name
of
the
People
of
of
whom
you
are
Elected
to
answer
them
I
deny
that
If
you
acknowledge
not
the
Authority
of
the
Court
,
they
must
proceed
.
I
doe
tell
them
so
was
never
an
Elective
Kingdome
,
but
an
Hereditary
Kingdome
,
for
neer
these
thousand
yeares
:
Therefore
let
Me
know
by
what
lawfull
Authority
I
am
called
hither
?
I
doe
stand
more
for
the
Liberty
of
My
People
then
any
here
that
come
to
be
My
pretended
Iudges
:
and
therefore
let
Me
know
by
what
lawfull
Authority
,
and
I
will
Answer
,
otherwise
I
will
not
Answer
.
Sir
,
How
really
you
have
managed
your
trust
is
known
:
your
way
of
Answer
is
to
interrogate
the
Court
,
which
beseemes
not
you
in
this
condition
;
you
have
been
told
of
it
twice
or
thrice
.
Here
is
Lieut.
aske
him
,
if
he
did
not
bring
Me
from
the
by
force
?
I
doe
not
come
here
as
submitting
to
the
Court
;
I
will
stand
as
much
for
the
Priviledge
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
rightly
understood
,
as
any
man
here
whatsoever
;
I
see
no
House
of
Lords
here
that
may
constitute
a
Parliament
,
and
(
the
King
too
)
should
have
been
.
Let
Me
see
a
Lawfull
Authority
warranted
by
the
Word
of
God
,
the
Scriptures
,
or
by
the
Constitutions
of
the
Kingdome
.
I
will
not
betray
My
Trust
,
nor
the
Liberties
of
the
People
;
I
am
sworne
to
keep
the
Peace
by
that
duty
I
owe
to
God
,
and
My
Country
;
and
I
will
doe
it
to
the
last
breath
in
My
body
.
As
it
is
a
sinne
to
with
stand
Lawfull
Authority
,
so
it
is
to
submit
to
a
Tyrannicall
,
or
any
otherwise
unlawfull
Authority
.
The
Court
expects
your
finall
Answer
,
and
will
adjourne
till
Munday
next
;
we
are
satisfied
with
our
Authority
that
are
your
Iudges
,
and
it
is
upon
Gods
Authority
,
and
the
Kingdomes
;
and
that
peace
you
spake
of
will
be
kept
in
doing
Iustice
,
and
that
's
our
present
work
.
Iustice
,
Iustice
God
blesse
Him
My
Saviour
suffered
more
for
my
sake
,
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
I
did
at
the
last
Court
in
behalf
of
the
Commons
of
exhibite
,
and
give
in
to
this
Court
a
Charge
of
High
Treason
,
and
other
High
Crimes
against
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
:
whereof
I
do
accuse
him
in
the
name
of
the
people
of
and
the
Charge
was
read
unto
Him
,
and
his
Answer
required
:
My
Lord
,
He
was
not
then
pleased
to
give
an
Answer
,
but
instead
of
answering
did
dispute
the
Authority
of
this
High
Court
;
My
humble
motion
to
this
High
Court
in
behalfe
of
the
Kingdome
of
is
,
That
the
Prisoner
may
be
directed
to
make
a
positive
Answer
either
by
way
of
Confession
,
or
Negation
:
which
,
if
He
shall
refuse
to
doe
,
That
the
matter
of
Charge
may
bee
taken
and
the
Court
may
proceede
according
to
Iustice
.
Sir
,
you
may
remember
at
the
last
Court
you
were
told
the
occasion
of
your
being
brought
hither
,
and
you
heard
a
Charge
read
against
You
,
&c.
You
hear
likewise
what
was
prayed
in
behalfe
of
the
People
,
That
You
should
give
an
Answer
to
that
Charge
:
You
were
then
pleased
to
make
some
Scruples
concerning
the
Authority
of
this
Court
,
and
knew
not
by
what
Authority
You
were
brought
hither
:
You
did
diverse
times
propound
your
Questions
,
and
were
as
often
Answered
,
That
it
was
by
Authority
of
the
Commons
of
Assembled
in
Parliament
,
that
did
think
fit
to
call
You
to
account
for
those
High
and
Capitall
Misdemeanours
,
wherewith
You
were
then
Charged
.
Since
that
the
Court
hath
taken
into
consideration
what
You
then
said
,
they
are
fully
satisfied
with
their
own
Authority
,
and
they
hold
it
fit
You
should
stand
satisfied
therewith
too
:
And
they
do
require
that
You
do
give
a
positive
&
particular
Answer
to
this
Charge
exhibited
against
You
;
they
expect
you
should
eyther
confesse
or
deny
.
If
you
do
deny
,
it
is
offered
in
the
behalf
of
the
Kingdome
to
be
made
good
against
You
,
Their
Authority
they
doe
avow
to
the
whole
world
,
that
the
whole
Kingdome
are
to
rest
satisfied
therein
,
and
You
are
to
rest
satisfied
in
it
;
and
therefore
You
are
to
give
a
Positive
Answer
.
When
I
was
here
last
,
its
true
,
I
made
that
Question
;
and
truly
,
if
it
were
onely
my
owne
particular
case
,
I
would
have
satisfied
My selfe
with
the
Protestation
I
made
here
the
last
time
,
against
the
Legality
of
this
Court
,
and
that
a
King
cannot
be
Tryed
by
any
Superiour
Iurisdiction
upon
Earth
:
but
it
is
not
My
case
alone
,
it
is
the
Freedome
,
and
the
Liberties
of
the
People
of
and
(
doe
you
pretend
what
you
will
)
I
stand
more
for
their
Liberties
;
for
if
Power
without
Law
may
make
Lawes
,
nay
,
alter
the
Fundamentall
Lawes
of
the
Kingdome
,
I
doe
not
know
what
Subject
he
is
in
that
can
be
sure
of
his
Life
,
or
any
thing
that
he
calls
his
owne
.
Therefore
,
when
I
came
hither
,
I
did
expect
particular
Reasons
to
know
by
what
Law
,
what
Authority
,
you
proceed
against
Me
here
?
and
therefore
I
am
a
little
to
seek
what
to
say
to
you
in
this
Particular
,
because
the
Affirmative
is
to
be
proved
,
the
Negative
(
often
)
is
very
hard
to
doe
.
I
shall
tell
you
my
Reasons
as
short
as
I
can
.
All
proceedings
against
any
man
whatsoever
Sir
,
I
must
interrupt
You
;
what
You
doe
is
not
agreeable
to
the
proceedings
of
any
Court
of
Iustice
:
You
are
about
to
enter
into
Argument
and
Dispute
concerning
the
Authority
of
this
Court
,
before
whom
You
appear
as
a
Prisonner
,
and
are
Charged
as
a
High
Delinquent
;
You
may
not
Dispute
the
Authority
of
this
Court
,
nor
will
any
Court
give
way
unto
it
,
You
are
to
submit
to
it
,
&c.
Vnder
favour
;
I
doe
Plead
for
the
Liberty
of
the
People
of
more
then
you
do
;
and
therefore
,
if
I
should
impose
a
beleefe
upon
any
Man
without
Reasons
given
,
it
were
unreasonable
Sir
I
must
interrupt
You
:
You
may
not
be
permitted
,
You
speak
of
Law
and
Reason
,
and
there
is
both
against
You.
Sir
,
The
Vote
of
the
Commons
of
Assembled
in
Parliament
,
is
the
reason
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
they
are
those
that
have
given
You
that
Law
,
according
to
which
you
should
have
Ruled
and
Raigned
;
Sir
,
It
will
be
taken
notice
of
,
that
you
stand
in
contempt
of
the
Court
,
and
Your
contempt
will
be
recorded
accordingly
.
I
doe
not
know
how
a
King
can
be
a
Delinquent
,
but
by
all
Lawes
that
ever
I
heard
,
all
men
may
put
in
Demurrers
against
any
proceedings
as
Illegall
:
and
I
doe
demand
that
,
if
you
deny
that
,
you
deny
Reason
.
Sir
,
Neither
You
,
nor
any
Man
are
permitted
to
Dispute
that
Point
,
You
are
concluded
;
You
may
not
demurre
to
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
if
You
doe
,
I
must
let
You
know
,
that
they
over-rule
Your
demurrer
,
they
sit
here
by
the
Authority
of
the
Commons
of
and
all
Your
Predecessours
and
You
,
are
responsible
to
them
.
I
deny
that
,
shew
Me
one
President
.
Sir
,
You
ought
not
to
interrupt
while
the
Court
is
speaking
to
you
:
this
point
is
not
to
be
debated
by
you
,
if
you
offer
it
by
way
of
Demurrer
,
to
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
they
have
considered
of
their
Iurisdiction
,
they
doe
affirme
their
owne
Iurisdiction
.
I
say
Sir
,
by
your
favour
,
That
the
Commons
of
were
never
a
Court
of
Iudicature
:
I
would
know
how
they
came
to
be
so
?
Sir
,
you
are
not
to
be
permitted
to
go
on
in
that
Speech
,
and
these
discourses
.
King
of
you
have
been
accused
in
the
behalfe
of
the
People
of
of
High
Treason
,
and
other
high
Crimes
,
the
Court
hath
determined
that
you
ought
to
answer
the
same
.
I
will
Answer
the
same
so
soone
as
I
know
by
what
Authority
you
doe
this
?
If
this
be
all
that
you
will
say
,
then
Gentlemen
,
you
that
brought
the
Prisoner
hither
,
take
charge
of
Him
back
again
.
I
doe
require
that
I
may
give
My
Reasons
why
I
did
not
Answer
,
and
give
Me
time
for
that
.
Sir
,
'T
is
not
for
Prisoners
to
require
.
Prisoners
!
Sir
,
I
am
not
an
ordinary
Prisoner
.
The
Court
have
affirmed
their
Iurisdiction
,
if
You
will
not
Answer
,
We
shall
give
order
to
Record
your
default
.
You
never
heard
my
Reasons
yet
.
Sir
,
Your
Reasons
are
not
be
heard
against
the
highest
Iurisdiction
.
Shew
Me
that
Iurisdiction
where
Reason
is
not
to
be
heard
?
Sir
,
we
shew
it
you
here
,
the
Commons
of
and
the
next
time
you
are
brought
,
You
will
know
more
of
the
pleasures
of

take
away
the
Prisoner

Well
Sir
,
Remember
that
the
King
is
not
suffered
to
give
in
His
Reasons
,
for
the
liberty
and
freedome
of
all
His
Subjects
.
Sir
,
You
are
not
to
have
liberty
to
use
this
language
,
how
great
a
Friend
You
have
been
to
the
Lawes
and
Liberties
of
the
People
,
let
all
and
the
world
judge
Sir
,
under
favour
,
it
was
the
Liberty
,
Freedome
,
and
Laws
of
the
Subject
that
ever
I
tooke
—
defended
My selfe
with
Armes
,
I
never
tooke
up
Armes
against
the
People
,
but
for
the
Lawes
.
The
command
of
the
Court
must
be
obeyed
,
no
Answer
will
be
given
to
the
Charge
.
Robert
Cottons
May
it
please
your
Lordship
my
Lord
President
,
This
is
now
the
third
time
that
by
the
great
grace
and
favour
of
the
Court
,
the
Prisoner
hath
been
brought
to
the
Barre
,
before
any
Issue
joyned
in
this
Case
.
My
Lord
,
I
did
at
the
first
Court
exhibite
a
Charge
against
Him
,
containing
the
highest
Treason
that
ever
was
wrought
on
the
Theater
of
and
I
did
humbly
pray
in
behalfe
of
the
People
of
but
,
my
Lord
,
in
stead
of
making
any
Answer
,
He
did
then
dispute
the
Authority
of
this
High
Court
;
your
Lordship
was
pleased
to
give
Him
a
further
day
to
put
in
His
Answer
,
which
day
being
yesterday
;
I
did
humbly
move
,
But
,
my
Lord
,
He
was
then
pleased
to
demur
to
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
which
the
Court
did
then
overrule
,
and
command
Him
to
give
a
direct
and
positive
Answer
:
My
Lord
,
besides
this
great
delay
of
Iustice
,
I
shall
now
humbly
move
your
Lordship
for
speedy
Iudgement
against
Him
;
I
might
presse
your
Lordship
upon
the
whole
,
That
according
to
the
knowne
rules
of
the
Lawes
of
the
Land
,
that
as
it
hath
been
done
to
those
who
have
deserved
more
favour
,
than
the
Prisoner
at
the
Barre
hath
done
.
But
besides
,
my
Lord
,
I
shall
humbly
presse
your
Lordship
upon
the
whole
fact
,
That
the
House
of
Commons
,
the
Supreme
Authority
and
Iurisdiction
of
the
Kingdome
,
they
have
declared
,
as
it
is
in
truth
my
Lord
,
as
cleare
as
crystall
,
and
as
the
Sun
that
shines
at
noon-day
;
which
if
your
Lordship
and
the
Court
be
not
satisfied
in
,
I
have
notwithstanding
on
the
Peoples
behalfe
,
severall
Witnesses
to
produce
;
and
therefore
I
doe
humbly
pray
,
(
and
yet
I
doe
confesse
,
it
is
not
so
much
I
,
as
the
Innocent
bloud
that
hath
been
shed
:
(
the
cry
whereof
is
very
great
)
for
Iustice
and
Iudgement
)
and
therefore
I
doe
humbly
pray
,
that
speedy
Iudgment
be
pronounced
against
the
Prisoner
at
the
Barre
.
Sir
,
You
have
heard
what
is
moved
by
the
Councell
on
behalfe
of
the
Kingdome
against
you
;
you
were
told
over
and
over
againe
,
yet
you
did
persist
in
such
cariage
as
you
gave
no
manner
of
obedience
,
nor
did
you
acknowledge
any
Authority
in
them
;
nor
the
high
Court
that
constituted
this
high
Court
of
Iustice
.
Sir
,
I
must
let
you
know
from
the
Court
,
that
yet
neverthelesse
they
are
pleased
to
give
direction
,
and
on
their
behalfe
,
I
doe
require
you
,
(
for
Iustice
knowes
no
respect
of
Persons
)
When
I
was
here
Yesterday
,
I
did
desire
I
desire
to
know
yet
Sir
,
You
have
had
the
resolution
of
the
Court
,
upon
the
like
Question
the
last
day
,
and
you
were
told
,
when
you
have
once
Answered
,
you
shall
be
heard
at
large
,
make
the
best
defence
You
can
:
But
Sir
,
I
must
let
You
know
from
the
Court
,
(
as
their
Commands
)
For
the
Charge
I
value
it
not
a
Rush
,
that
I
stand
for
;
for
Me
to
that
I
never
heard
of
before
,
I
that
am
your
that
should
be
an
to
all
the
People
of
Indeed
,
I
doe
not
know
how
to
doe
it
:
you
spoke
well
the
first
day
that
I
came
here
,
(
on
Saturday
)
the
same
Obligation
you
spake
of
,
therefore
untill
that
I
may
know
,
that
I
can
put
in
no
particular
Answer
,
if
you
will
give
Me
time
I
will
shew
you
My
Reasons
,
and
this
By
your
favour
,
you
ought
not
to
interrupt
Me
,
How
I
came
here
I
know
not
there
's
no
Law
for
it
I
was
in
a
Treaty
upon
the
publique
Faith
of
the
Kingdom
,
that
was
the
known
—
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
that
was
the
Representative
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
when
I
had
almost
made
an
end
of
the
Treaty
,
then
I
was
hurried
away
&
brought
hither
,
&
therfore
Sir
,
You
must
know
the
pleasure
of
the
Court.
By
your
favour
Sir
Nay
Sir
,
By
your
favour
,
You
may
not
be
permitted
to
fall
into
those
Discourses
;
You
appear
as
a
Delinquent
,
You
have
not
acknowledged
the
Authority
of
the
Court
,
the
Court
craves
it
not
of
You
,
but
once
more
they
command
You
to
give
your
positive
Answer
.
Clercke
doe
your
Duty
.
Duty
Sir
Charles Stuart , King of England , You are accused in behalfe of the Commons of England of diverse High Crimes and Treasons ; which Charge hath been Read unto You , The Court now requires You to give Your positive and finall Answer , by way of Confession , or deniall of the Charge .
Sir
,
I
say
againe
to
you
,
so
that
I
may
give
satisfaction
to
the
People
of
of
the
clearnesse
of
My
proceedings
,
not
by
way
of
Answer
,
not
in
this
way
,
but
to
satisfie
them
that
I
have
done
nothing
against
that
Trust
that
hath
beene
committed
to
Mee
,
I
would
doe
it
;
but
to
acknowledge
a
New
Court
against
their
Priviledges
,
to
alter
the
Fundamentall
Lawes
of
the
Kingdome
,
Sir
,
you
must
excuse
Me.
Sir
,
This
is
the
third
time
that
You
have
publiquely
disavowed
this
Court
,
and
put
an
Affront
upon
it
:
how
far
You
have
preserved
the
Priviledges
of
the
People
,
Your
Actions
have
spoken
;
but
truly
Sir
,
mens
intentions
ought
to
be
knowen
by
their
Actions
,
you
have
written
Your
meaning
in
bloudy
Characters
throughout
the
whole
Kingdome
,
but
Sir
,
you
understand
the
pleasure
of
the
Court
;
Clarke
Record
the
default
;
and
Gentlemen
,
you
that
tooke
Charge
of
the
Prisoner
take
Him
back
againe
.
God
blesse
the
Kingdome
of
England
.
Iustice
,
Iudgement
God
blesse
Him
Gentlemen
,
it
is
well
knowne
to
all
,
or
most
of
you
here
present
,
that
the
Prisoner
at
the
Barre
hath
been
severall
times
convented
,
and
brought
before
this
Court
,
to
make
Answer
to
a
Charge
of
High
Treason
,
and
other
High
Crimes
exhibited
against
Him
,
in
the
Name
of
the
People
of
to
which
Charge
being
required
to
Answer
,
He
hath
been
so
farre
from
obeying
the
Commands
of
the
Court
,
by
submitting
to
their
Iustice
,
as
He
began
to
take
upon
Him
Reasoning
and
Debate
unto
the
Authority
of
the
Court
,
And
to
the
Highest
Court
that
appointed
them
to
Trie
and
to
Iudge
Him
;
but
being
over-ruled
in
that
,
and
required
to
make
His
Answer
,
He
still
continued
Contumacious
,
and
refused
to
submit
to
Answer
.
Hereupon
the
Court
(
that
they
may
not
be
wanting
to
themselves
,
nor
the
Trust
reposed
in
them
,
nor
that
any
mans
wilfulnesse
prevent
Iustice
)
they
have
considered
of
the
Charge
,
of
the
contumacy
,
and
of
that
Confession
which
in
Law
doth
arise
on
that
Contumacy
;
they
have
likewise
considered
the
notiority
of
the
Fact
Charged
upon
this
Prisoner
;
and
upon
the
whole
matter
,
they
are
resolved
,
and
have
agreed
upon
a
Sentence
to
be
pronounced
against
this
Prisoner
,
but
in
respect
He
doth
desire
to
be
heard
before
the
Sentence
be
Read
,
and
Pronounced
,
the
Court
hath
resolved
to
hear
Him
;
yet
Sir
,
thus
much
I
must
tell
You
beforehand
,
(
which
you
have
beene
minded
of
at
other
Courts
)
that
if
that
which
You
have
to
say
,
be
to
offer
any
debate
concerning
the
Iurisdiction
,
You
are
not
to
be
heard
in
it
:
You
have
offered
it
formerly
,
and
you
have
strook
at
the
root
,
the
Power
and
supreme
Authority
of
the
Commons
of
which
this
Court
will
not
admit
a
Debate
of
:
and
which
indeed
is
an
irrationall
thing
in
them
to
doe
,
being
a
Court
that
act
upon
Authority
derived
from
them
.
But
Sir
,
if
you
have
any
thing
to
say
in
defence
of
Your self
concerning
the
matter
charged
,
the
Court
hath
given
me
in
Commands
to
heare
You.
Since
I
see
that
You
will
not
heare
any
thing
of
debate
concerning
that
which
I
confesse
I
thought
most
materiall
,
for
the
peace
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
for
the
liberty
of
the
Subject
,
I
shall
wave
it
;
but
only
I
must
tell
you
,
that
this
many
a
day
all
things
have
been
taken
away
from
Me
,
but
that
,
that
I
call
dearer
to
Me
than
My
life
,
which
is
My
Conscientie
and
Mine
honour
;
and
if
I
had
a
respect
of
my
life
,
more
than
the
peace
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
the
liberty
of
the
Subject
,
certainly
I
should
have
made
a
particular
,
defence
for
My
life
,
for
by
that
at
leastwise
,
I
might
have
delayed
an
ugly
Sentence
,
which
I
believe
will
passe
upon
Me
,
therefore
certainly
Sir
,
as
a
man
that
hath
some
understanding
,
some
knowledge
of
the
world
(
if
that
my
true
zeale
to
My
Country
had
not
overborne
the
care
that
I
have
for
My
owne
preservation
)
I
should
have
gone
another
way
to
worke
than
that
I
have
done
:
Now
Sir
,
I
conceive
that
a
hasty
Sentence
once
passed
may
sooner
be
repented
of
than
recalled
;
and
truely
,
the
self-same
desire
that
I
have
for
the
peace
of
the
Kingdome
and
the
liberty
of
the
Subject
,
more
than
My
owne
particular
ends
,
makes
Me
now
at
last
desire
,
that
I
having
something
to
say
that
concerns
both
,
I
desire
,
before
Sentence
be
given
,
that
I
may
be
heard
in
the
before
the
Lords
and
Commons
,
this
delay
cannot
be
prejudiciall
to
you
,
whatsoever
I
say
,
if
that
I
say
no
reason
those
that
heare
Me
must
be
Iudges
,
I
cannot
be
Iudge
of
that
that
I
have
:
if
it
be
reason
,
and
really
for
the
welfare
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
the
liberty
of
the
Subject
,
I
am
sure
its
very
well
worth
the
hearing
,
therefore
I
doe
conjure
you
,
as
you
love
that
which
you
pretend
.
(
I
hope
its
reall
)
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
,
and
peace
of
the
Kingdome
,
that
you
will
grant
Me
this
hearing
before
any
Sentence
passed
;
but
if
I
cannot
get
this
liberty
,
I
doe
protest
that
your
faire
shewes
of
Liberty
and
Peace
are
pure
shewes
,
and
that
you
will
not
heare
your
King
.
This
was
a
declining
the
Iurisdiction
of
the
Court
,
and
a
delay
:
That
the
Court
had
considered
what
He
had
moved
,
and
of
their
owne
Authority
;
the
returne
from
the
Court
is
this
,
Painted
Chamber
THat
whereas
the
Commons
of
in
Parliament
had
appointed
them
an
high
Court
of
Iustice
for
the
Trial
of
King
of
before
whom
He
had
been
three
times
Convented
;
and
at
the
first
time
a
Charge
of
High
Treason
and
other
high
crimes
and
misdemeanors
was
read
in
behalfe
of
the
Kingdome
of
Which
Charge
being
read
unto
Him
as
aforesaid
,
He
the
said
was
required
to
give
His
Answer
;
but
He
refused
so
to
doe
:
and
so
expressed
the
severall
passages
at
His
Tryall
in
refusing
to
Answer
.
For
all
which
Treasons
and
crimes
this
Court
doth
adjudge
,
That
He
the
said
as
a
Tyrant
,
Traytour
,
Murtherer
,
and
a
publique
Enemy
shall
be
put
to
Death
by
severing
of
His
Head
from
His
Body
.

That
no

meddle

:
That
he
had
a

received
a

from

to
deliver
his

unto
them
:
which
he
was
to
deliver
,

they
to
receive
upon

It
consisted
of
That
the
Sabbath
was
abolished

I

the

is

high
I
cannot
light

Tythes
are
abolished

a

enlighteneth

hath
erected
the

I

it

It

But
now
Christ
is
in

If

a
Definition
of
Law
by
the
Parliament
in
the
daies
of
their
primitive
purity
,
before
they
had
corrupted
themselves
with
the
Common-wealths
money
.
And
elsewhere
the

is
called
,
The

,
the
custody
of
all

your

keeping

a
like
Right
to
any

It
is
the

birth-right
the

:
it
is
a
miserable
servitude
or
bondage
where
the
Law
is
uncertaine
or
unknowne

I
tell

there
is
no

then
if

that
act
is
righteous
,
because
they
are
the

if
any

he
a
just
power
that
is

I
wonder
how
the

can
acquit
themselves
of
being
Rebels
and
Traytors
before
God
and
Man
,
in
resisting

fenced

reputed

of

all
those

fought

are

And
if
it
were
not
for
preservation
of
our
Lawes
and

,
why
did
the
Parliament
fight
against
Him
,
a
present
power
in
being
?
and
if
there
be
now
no
Lawes
in
nor
never
was
,
then
you
and
your
great
Masters
,
and
the
Parliament
are
a
pack
of
Bloody
Rogues

Villaines
,
to
set
the

one
another

in

it
be

That

be
expounded
according
to
the
intent
of
those
that
made
it
,
and
the
mischiefes
it
intended
onely
to

Now
the
intent
of
the
Makers
of

was
not
to
prevent
the

dissolution
by
the
Kings
Death
,

after

was
the

there
seemes
to
be
some
restraint
of
the
Royall
power
in
Dissolving
of
Parliament
;
not
to
take
it
out

The
very
Title
of

[
an
Act
to
prevent
inconveniencies
which
may
happen
by
the
untimely
Adjourning
,
Proroguing

intimates
as
much
,
compared
with
the
body
of
it
,
which
provides
as
well
against
the
Adjourning
,
or
Proroguing
without
an
Act
,
as
against
a
Dissolution
.
Now
the
Parliament
cannot
be
said
to
be
Adjourned
,
or
Prorogued
untimely
by
the
Kings
Death
(
which
never
Adjourned

or
Prorogued

but
onely
by
his
Proclamation
,
Writ
,
or
Royall
Command
to
the
Houses
,
or
their
Speaker
executed
during
his
life
time
.
The
Prologue
of
the
Act
implies
as
much
,
whereas
great
summes
of
Money
must
of
necessity
be
speedily
advanced
That
this
Parliament
may
be
Adjourned
,
Prorogued

All
which
expressions
related

,
as
to
His
Acts
of
Royall
Power
,
not
to
His
Heires
and
Successours
,
after
His
Naturall
(
much
lesse
)
Violent
death
,
It
is
cleer
by
the
Body
of
this
Act
Shall
not
be

,
unlesse
it
be
by
Act
of

to
be
passed
for
that
purpose
;
nor
shall
at
any
time
,
be
Adjourned
,
or
Prorogued
That
the
House
of
Commons
shall
not
at
any
time
,
That
this
Act
was
onely
to
prevent
untimely
Dissolving
,
Proroguing
,
and
Adjourning
by
Acts
of
Royall
Power
That
the
King
was
the
Principall
Estate
,
and
Member
,
That
neither
this
Act
,
nor
any
other
,
for
Dissolving
,
Proroguing
,
or
Adjourning
this
Parl.
could
be
made
without
the
Kings
Royall
Assent
,
exact
Collect.
That
it
was
not
the
Kings
intent
in
passing
this
Act
to
shut
Himself
out
of
Parliament
,
Nor
the
Lords
and
Commons
intent
to
Dis
member
Him
from
His
Parliament
,
much
lesse
was
it
their
intent
to
pack
a
Parliament
of
Commons
onely
,
selected
by
Colonell
to
Vote
according
to
the
Dictates
of
a
Councell
of
Warre
,
Against
which
transcendent
usurpation
this
very
Act
provides
,
That
the
House
of
Peers
shall
not
be
so
much
as
Adjourned
,
or
Prorogued
,
but
by
themselves
,
or
their
own
Order
.
Neither
did
the
King
,
Lords
,
and
Commons
,
in
passing
this
Act
intend
,
That
by
Murdering
the
King
,
Abolishing
the
House
of
Lords
,
and
expelling
by
power
of
the
Sword
eight
parts
of
ten
of
the
Commons
,
the
remaining
Faction
should
constitute
themselves
,
their
Heires
and
Successours
,
a
Perpetuall
Parliament
,
The
last
Clause
of
this
Act
concludes
as
much
.
And
that
all
,
and
every
thing
,
or
things
whatsoever
done
,
or
to
be
done
(
to
wit
,
by
the
King
;
or
His
Authority
)
for
the
Adjournment
,
Proroguing
,
or
Dissolving
of
this
Parliament
,
Now
Death
of
the
King
,
and
Dissolution
of
this
Parliament
thereby
cannot
properly
be
stiled
a
thing
done
,
or
to
be
done
by
the
King
,
if
by
those
Words
(
things
done
,
or
to
be
done
for
the
dissolving
,
&c.
)
they
shall
say
,
they
related
to
the
Kings
Naturall
Death
if
they
related
to
His
violent
Death
,
it
could
not
then
be
said
a
thing
done
,
or
to
be
done
for
the
unlawfulness
,
and
injustice
of
it
.

Act
passed
long
before
any
War

or

shed
Yet
the
House
of
Peeres
(
formerly
