The
Copie
of
a
Petition
delivered
to
Mr.
Pym
,
concerning
a
hundred
Pensioners
in

Kings-Bench
,
October
19.
1641
THere
was
this
day
also
a
Petition
delivered
to
Mr.
Pym
,
concerning
a
hundred
Pensioners
in
the
Kings-Bench
,
whereupon
Mr.
Pym
was
desired
to
deliver
his
opinion
,
whether
the
imprisonment
of
the
body
for
contempt
or
otherwise
,
were
not
against
Magna
Charta
,
and
the
Priviledge
of
the
Subject
,
to
which
Mr.
Pym
replyed
,
it
befitted
not
him
as
a
private
man
to
deliver
his
opinion
therein
,
but
it
concerned
the
two
houses
of
PARLIAMENT
,
the
Judges
,
and
the
learned
in
the
Law
to
give
verdit
upon
it
,
and
upon
the
meeting
and
assembling
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
the
Petition
should
be
delivered
,
where
they
must
attend
for
answer
to
it
.
THE
Copie
of
another
Letter
sent
to
the
PARLIAMENT
from
Regensborough
in
Germany
touching
the
Palatinate
.
FRom
Regensborough
we
receive
intelligence
of
Letters
come
to
the
House
of
Parliament
,
That
the
Lantsgrave
of
Hessen
,
and
the
Duke
of
Luneburgh
,
are
falling
off
from
the
Swedes
,
which
will
difficilate
the
Conquest
of
the
Palatinate
,
by
the
English
,
but
the
Scots
are
very
importunate
with
the
King
to
pesecute
it
,
promising
strong
ayd
and
honorable
allowance
,
and
that
the
Dan●
will
joyne
forces
with
us
,
but
the
Commons
conceive
that
the
burthen
and
charge
of
the
warre
will
fall
upon
the
English
,
yet
how
soever
they
are
willing
to
advance
their
designe
.
A
Proposition
made
by
an
honourable
Lord
in
Scotland
touching
the
Palatinate
.
FIrst
,
in
regard
his
Majesties
gracious
Manifest
and
Proposition
touching
the
Electorall
Family
,
having
beene
so
generally
approved
and
concluded
,
to
be
both
a
Pious
and
Honourable
enterprize
,
and
therefore
ought
not
to
be
delayed
or
procrastinated
.
But
it
is
objected
againe
,
that
the
Country
is
so
ruined
and
depopulated
,
that
if
it
should
be
wonne
,
it
will
not
(
in
all
probability
)
countervaile
the
charge
,
losse
,
and
hazard
that
must
first
be
undergone
.
This
Objection
is
not
to
be
denyed
,
but
to
bee
both
fit
and
necessary
of
a
State
to
be
considered
,
when
their
undertakings
are
for
particular
wrongs
and
injuries
sustained
,
but
when
as
an
enemy
(
as
in
this
case
)
hath
forcibly
thrust
a
lawfull
Prince
out
of
the
whole
Inheritance
of
his
Royall
Ancestors
,
and
refuseth
to
restore
him
upon
honourable
Conditions
,
I
humbly
conceive
,
quitting
of
cost
ought
not
to
over-ballance
the
right
and
honour
of
a
Prince
so
injured
.
The
Prince
Elector
is
not
onely
forceably
kept
forth
of
his
lawfull
Inheritance
,
to
his
great
losse
and
dammage
;
but
his
Honour
is
thereby
deepely
wounded
,
and
through
him
,
his
Majestie
,
our
Native
Soveraigne
,
his
Royall
Uncle
,
and
indeed
all
the
Princes
of
the
reformed
Religion
,
beare
a
share
in
his
dishonour
.
Lastly
,
in
regard
England
and
Scotland
had
lately
two
Armies
in
the
field
(
which
now
,
through
the
goodnesse
of
the
God
of
Peace
,
are
united
and
disbanded
)
in
which
are
many
stout
,
and
valiant
Commanders
and
Officers
of
both
Nations
,
for
the
expediting
of
so
noble
an
enterprise
,
up
then
,
let
us
be
doing
,
and
surely
the
Lord
of
Hosts
will
goe
before
the
Army
(
that
shall
fight
for
such
a
cause
)
and
make
plaine
all
Mountaines
,
that
shall
occurre
in
the
way
,
and
give
a
blessed
and
successefull
Issue
,
to
such
an
honourable
enterprize
.
