An
orderly
and
plaine
Narration
of
the
Beginnings
and
Causes
of
this
Warre
.
THe
Religion
by
Law
established
in
the
Church
of
England
,
ever
since
the
first
Reformation
,
hath
been
opposed
doubly
;
by
the
Papists
,
and
by
the
Disciplinarians
:
and
from
these
have
proceeded
our
late
,
and
present
Warres
in
Ireland
and
England
.
In
King
Edward's
dayes
,
Master
Calvin
in
his
Epistle
to
the
Lord
Protectour
,
writeth
thus
,
Sir
,
I
heare
that
there
are
two
sorts
of
seditious
men
amongst
you
,
who
lift
up
the
head
against
the
King
and
the
State
of
the
Kingdome
.
The
one
are
a
sort
of
brainsicke
men
,
who
promote
their
Sedition
under
the
name
of
the
Gospell
;
the
others
are
so
hardened
in
the
Superstitions
of
Antichrist
,
that
they
cannot
endure
a
revulsion
of
them
.
And
both
these
sorts
of
men
must
be
restrained
by
the
revenging
sword
,
which
the
Lord
hath
put
into
thine
hand
:
since
they
rise
up
not
onely
against
the
King
,
but
against
God
himselfe
,
who
hath
placed
the
King
in
his
Royall
Throne
,
and
made
thee
Protectour
of
his
Person
,
and
his
Royall
Majesty
.
In
Queen
Elizabeths
dayes
,
the
Disciplinarians
became
more
violent
,
and
declared
openly
,
that
for
the
great
Cause
,
the
holy
Cause
(
so
they
called
the
Presbytery
)
they
would
never
leave
suing
,
though
there
should
be
a
thousand
Parliaments
,
untill
they
obtain
it
,
or
bring
the
Lord
in
vengeance
and
blood
upon
the
State
for
refusing
it
.
Gibson
threatned
King
James
,
that
as
Ieroboam
He
should
be
rooted
out
,
and
conclude
his
Race
,
if
He
maintained
Bishops
.
And
all
the
world
sees
,
how
the
rage
and
fury
of
these
men
hath
broke
out
into
open
force
,
and
actuall
Warre
,
in
King
Charles
his
time
.
Now
I
conceive
this
Faction
hath
encreased
from
time
to
time
-
1.
By
reason
the
Lawes
against
them
have
not
been
put
in
execution
;
that
especially
of
the
35.
Eliz
.
1.
whereby
it
is
enacted
,
that
all
those
who
would
not
be
present
at
Divine
Service
,
and
should
hold
Conventicles
,
and
deny
the
Queenes
Supremacy
in
Ecclesiasticall
matters
should
abjure
the
Land
,
otherwise
to
suffer
as
Felons
;
and
having
abjured
the
Land
,
and
returning
without
licence
,
then
likewise
to
suffer
as
Felons
.
-
2.
By
meanes
of
the
City
of
London
,
(
the
Nest
and
Seminary
of
the
seditious
Faction
)
and
by
reason
of
its
universall
Trade
throughout
the
Kingdome
,
with
its
Commodities
conveying
and
deriving
this
civill
contagion
to
all
our
Cities
and
Corporations
,
and
thereby
poysoning
whole
Counties
.
And
the
Power
of
this
Faction
is
advanced
at
this
day
by
reason
of
the
populousnesse
and
wealth
of
the
City
of
London
,
(
ambitious
forsooth
to
be
a
free
State
)
and
by
the
compliance
of
divers
Members
of
both
Houses
with
them
,
which
in
former
Parliaments
they
could
never
obtain
:
and
under
the
venerable
name
of
Parliament
,
and
by
the
force
and
prevalency
of
this
Faction
have
things
been
carried
on
,
and
this
present
Warre
both
begun
and
continued
;
whilest
the
Parliament
serves
their
turne
to
root
out
Episcopacy
,
and
they
serve
the
Parliaments
turne
to
overthrow
Monarchy
.
When
the
Lords
at
Yorke
petitioned
his
Majesty
to
call
a
Parliament
,
the
Scene
was
laid
at
London
,
doubtlesse
in
reference
to
the
Designe
:
and
in
pursuance
thereof
(
when
the
Parliament
was
called
)
they
used
the
greatest
industry
that
may
be
to
bring
in
persons
of
their
Faction
into
the
House
of
Commons
;
and
they
admitted
,
and
received
such
(
of
their
Faction
)
who
were
neither
lawfully
chosen
,
nor
returned
by
their
Countrey
;
and
they
put
,
and
kept
out
others
,
whose
opinions
they
liked
not
.
And
not
long
after
they
were
setled
in
Parliament
,
out
of
a
sense
of
the
grievances
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
of
the
late
oppressions
of
the
Subject
(
as
was
pretended
)
and
out
of
a
zeale
against
the
Authours
thereof
and
the
Actors
therein
,
they
passe
severall
Votes
against
all
such
Lords
as
had
concurred
in
such
an
Order
at
the
Councell-Table
,
or
such
a
Censure
in
the
Stat
Chamber
;
and
against
all
Lords-Lieutenants
,
and
their
Deputies
,
who
had
raised
Coat
and
Conduct-money
:
and
all
Sheriffes
who
had
levied
Ship-money
;
and
all
Lords
,
and
others
,
who
had
been
concerned
in
any
Monopoly
,
or
illegall
Patent
.
But
what
is
the
aime
of
their
terrible
Votes
?
Not
Justice
:
for
they
proceed
not
against
those
Offenders
;
but
compilance
,
to
awe
not
a
small
number
of
the
Members
of
both
Houses
,
and
to
captivate
them
and
their
Votes
,
and
to
governe
them
in
the
managing
of
their
Designe
for
the
altering
of
the
Government
in
the
Church
and
State
.
Which
alterations
they
first
attempted
in
a
Parliamentary
way
;
and
so
(
in
May
1641
)
a
Bill
was
tendred
in
the
House
of
Commons
for
the
utter
abolition
of
Bishops
out
of
the
Church
of
England
,
and
for
Extirpation
of
Deanes
and
Chapters
,
and
this
was
in
debate
ten
weekes
,
but
it
passed
not
.
Likewise
Sir
Arthur
Hasterigge
brought
a
Bill
into
the
House
of
Commons
(
Octob
.
1641.
which
was
before
the
King's
comming
to
the
House
,
or
the
Rebellion
in
Ireland
)
to
place
a
Generall
at
Land
,
and
an
Admirall
at
Sea
,
by
Act
of
Parliament
,
with
uncontrollable
power
and
authority
over
the
lives
and
fortunes
of
all
his
Majesties
Subjects
(
the
matter
of
which
Bill
,
to
shew
their
Designe
,
is
since
digested
into
their
Generals
Commission
,
and
their
Ordinance
to
the
Earle
of
Warwicke
.
)
And
this
Bill
was
cast
out
of
the
House
with
indignation
;
and
it
was
moved
,
that
it
should
be
burnt
by
the
hand
of
the
common
Hangman
.
Lastly
,
(
in
Novemb
.
1641.
)
there
was
a
long
debate
in
the
House
of
Commons
concerning
the
Book
of
Common
Prayer
,
and
much
more
the
major
part
voted
for
it
.
After
they
saw
that
they
could
not
compasse
their
Designe
upon
free
debating
and
voting
in
a
Parliamentary
way
,
they
resolve
to
drive
it
on
otherwise
:
and
under
pretence
of
advancing
the
ordinance
of
Preaching
,
and
of
promoting
the
salvation
of
the
simple
and
ignorant
people
,
they
setup
Lecturers
in
every
Parish
,
such
as
might
be
furious
promoters
of
their
dangerous
Innovations
;
and
they
cherish
such
men
as
boldly
and
seditiously
preach
against
the
Government
of
the
Church
,
the
Book
of
Common
Prayer
,
and
his
Majesties
Kingly
and
lawfull
Power
,
and
against
his
very
Person
;
and
many
of
them
are
recommended
to
Parishes
by
Letters
,
and
by
Orders
.
Likewise
licence
is
given
to
lewd
and
seditious
Pamphlets
,
which
despised
the
Government
both
of
Church
and
State
,
and
laid
imputations
and
scornes
on
his
Majesties
Person
Office
,
and
Government
,
(
and
this
also
was
the
chiefe
argument
of
their
Remonstrance
,
Dec.
15.
1641.
)
yea
and
bookes
against
the
Book
of
Common
Prayer
and
the
established
Lawes
of
the
Land
are
suffered
without
reprehension
to
be
dedicated
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
And
when
by
these
seditious
practices
,
and
Pamphlets
,
and
by
that
Remonstrance
,
they
had
brought
the
people
into
dislike
of
the
present
Government
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
had
gained
them
to
themselves
;
upon
pretence
of
a
Thorough-Reformation
intended
to
be
wrought
by
them
,
they
apply
themselves
to
their
Designe
again
;
and
now
they
go
in
a
mixt
way
,
by
the
Parliament
,
and
the
People
;
and
they
betake
themselves
to
Tumults
,
about
the
latter
end
of
December
,
so
that
when
any
thing
in
agitation
was
likely
to
be
carried
against
them
,
they
send
for
multitudes
,
especially
of
those
seditious
and
factious
People
,
in
and
about
London
,
who
misuse
the
severall
Members
of
both
Houses
whom
they
were
informed
favoured
not
their
ends
,
proclaiming
the
names
of
severall
of
the
Peeres
as
evill
and
rotten-hearted
Lords
,
and
assaulting
,
and
evill
entreating
some
of
the
Members
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
even
at
the
doore
of
that
House
;
whereupon
the
House
of
Peeres
twice
very
earnestly
desired
the
House
of
Commons
,
that
they
would
for
the
Dignity
of
Parliament
joyne
with
them
in
a
Declaration
for
suppressing
such
Tumults
;
but
instead
thereof
,
Speeches
were
made
in
justification
of
them
:
and
afterwards
when
the
Lords
by
the
direction
of
the
Judges
had
given
Order
to
the
Justices
of
Peace
,
and
other
Officers
about
Westminster
,
to
endeavour
the
suppressing
of
those
Tumults
,
one
of
the
Iustices
for
doing
his
duty
therein
was
sent
to
the
Tower
.
At
last
,
his
Majesty
being
sensible
of
his
own
and
the
Parliaments
great
disturbance
by
those
Tumults
,
sent
a
Message
to
the
Lord
Maior
(
Decemb
.
31.
)
requiring
him
for
the
time
to
come
to
take
speciall
care
for
the
preventing
the
like
Tumults
,
as
farre
as
in
him
lay
.
And
when
none
of
these
courses
could
prevaile
,
but
the
People
grew
more
and
more
outragious
and
insolent
,
his
Majesty
(
well
knowing
who
they
were
that
first
raised
and
invited
the
tumultuous
people
to
Westminster
,
and
what
was
their
Designe
thereby
)
exhibiteth
Articles
of
High
Treason
against
the
Lord
Kymbolton
(
now
Earle
of
Manchester
)
and
against
the
Five
Members
,
Master
Pym
,
M.
Hampden
,
M.
Hollis
,
Sir
Arthur
Haslerigge
,
and
M.
Strood
.
-
1.
That
they
have
traiterously
endeavoured
to
subvert
the
fundamentall
Lawes
and
Government
of
this
Kingdome
,
and
to
deprive
the
King
of
his
Regall
Power
,
and
to
place
in
Subjects
an
Arbitrary
and
Tyrannicall
Power
.
-
2.
That
they
have
endeavoured
by
many
false
aspersions
upon
his
Majesty
,
and
upon
his
Government
,
to
alienate
the
affections
of
his
People
,
and
to
make
his
Majesty
odious
to
them
.
-
3.
That
they
have
endeavoured
to
draw
his
Majesties
late
Army
to
disobedience
to
his
Commands
,
and
to
side
with
them
in
their
traiterous
Designes
.
-
4.
That
they
have
traiterously
invited
and
encouraged
a
Forraigne
Power
to
invade
his
Majesties
Kingdome
of
England
.
-
5.
That
they
have
traiterously
endeavoured
to
subvert
the
Rights
and
very
Beings
of
Parliaments
.
-
6.
That
for
compleating
their
traiterous
Designes
,
they
have
endeavoure
as
farre
as
in
them
lay
,
by
force
and
terrour
to
compell
the
Parliament
to
joyne
with
them
in
their
traiterous
Designes
,
and
to
that
end
have
actually
raised
and
countenanced
Tumults
against
the
King
and
Parliament
.
-
7.
That
they
have
traiterously
conspired
to
leavy
,
and
actually
have
leavied
Warre
against
the
King
.
And
in
this
case
of
Treason
,
his
Majesty
might
have
apprehended
those
persons
by
an
Ordinary
Minister
of
Iustice
(
according
to
that
Maxime
in
the
Law
,
that
in
case
of
Treason
,
Felony
,
and
Breach
of
Peace
,
Priviledge
of
Parliament
doth
not
extend
,
is
of
no
signification
.
)
But
to
shew
his
correspondence
with
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
his
Majesty
chose
rather
to
command
the
Attourney
Generall
to
acquaint
the
House
of
Peeres
with
his
Charge
against
the
Lord
Kymbolton
,
and
his
intention
to
proceed
accordingly
.
And
to
send
a
Sergeant
at
Armes
to
the
House
of
Commons
to
acquaint
them
,
that
his
Majesty
did
accuse
and
intend
to
prosecute
the
Five
Members
for
High
Treason
,
and
did
require
that
their
persons
might
be
secured
in
custody
.
That
same
day
(
viz.
Ian
.
4.
)
the
House
of
Commons
made
an
Order
,
and
published
it
,
that
if
any
person
shall
arrest
those
Members
,
or
any
other
,
(
without
Order
from
that
House
)
the
parties
arrested
might
stand
upon
their
Guard
and
make
resistance
,
and
others
might
,
and
ought
to
assist
them
,
according
to
the
Protestation
taken
to
defend
the
Priviledges
of
Parliament
,
5.
May
1641.
Vpon
this
Order
,
the
King
is
forced
to
go
in
Person
to
the
House
of
Commons
to
demand
those
Members
;
and
He
is
no
sooner
gone
thence
,
but
the
House
adjourned
it selfe
;
and
instead
of
any
application
to
informe
his
Majesties
judgement
wherein
He
had
erred
,
and
how
He
was
to
proceed
,
both
the
Houses
adjourned
themselves
to
Guild
hall
,
and
afterwards
to
Grocers-hall
;
and
the
Persons
accused
remove
themselves
into
the
City
,
as
to
a
Sanctuary
:
and
the
Common
Councell
of
London
(
altered
by
undue
practises
about
Christmas
last
)
place
unusuall
Watches
and
Guards
in
the
City
under
the
Command
of
Sergeant
Major
Generall
Skippon
,
(
as
is
pretended
)
for
the
safety
of
the
City
,
and
the
protection
of
the
Members
;
not
so
onely
,
but
Ian
.
11.
the
Trained
Bands
of
London
and
Westminster
guard
those
accused
Members
from
their
residence
in
the
City
to
Westminster
,
in
an
hostile
and
warlike
manner
;
and
neare
one
hundred
Lighters
and
Long-boates
were
set
out
by
water
,
laden
with
Sacres
,
and
murdering
Pieces
,
and
other
Ammunition
,
dressed
up
with
mast-clothes
,
and
streamers
,
as
ready
to
fight
;
and
in
this
Array
the
Mariners
by
water
,
and
the
Souldiers
by
Land
,
as
they
passed
by
Whitehall
,
asked
,
what
was
become
of
the
King
?
where
was
He
?
To
compose
these
Distempers
,
his
Majesty
makes
this
proposition
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
Ian
.
20.
that
they
will
with
all
speed
fall
into
a
serious
consideration
of
all
those
particulars
which
they
held
necessary
,
as
well
for
the
upholding
and
maintaining
of
his
Majesties
just
and
Regall
Authority
,
and
for
setling
of
his
Revenue
;
as
for
the
present
and
future
establishment
of
their
Priviledges
,
the
free
and
quiet
enjoying
of
their
estates
and
fortunes
,
the
liberty
of
their
persons
,
the
security
of
the
true
Religion
now
professed
in
the
Church
of
England
,
and
the
setling
of
Ceremonies
in
such
a
manner
as
may
take
away
all
just
offence
:
all
which
when
they
shall
present
unto
his
Majesty
,
digested
into
one
Body
,
he
promiseth
(
to
shew
how
farre
he
hath
been
from
intending
or
designing
any
of
those
things
which
the
too
great
Feares
and
Iealousies
of
some
persons
seem
to
apprehend
)
not
onely
to
equall
,
but
also
to
exceed
the
greatest
Examples
of
the
most
indulgent
Princes
in
their
Acts
of
Grace
and
Favour
to
their
people
.
But
before
they
take
into
consideration
this
Message
(
having
now
found
out
a
meanes
to
shelter
themselves
,
how
traiterous
soever
,
under
the
pretended
Priviledge
of
Parliament
,
and
to
promote
their
Designe
by
the
people
under
colour
of
maintaining
the
power
of
the
Priviledge
of
Parliament
,
the
Cities
of
London
and
Westminster
having
already
engaged
themselves
on
their
behalfe
,
and
the
adjacent
Counties
by
their
severall
Petitions
having
declared
their
good
affections
toward
them
)
maugre
his
Majesties
Accusation
of
High
Treason
,
they
take
courage
and
revive
the
matter
of
the
Bill
exhibited
by
Sir
Arthur
Haslerigge
in
October
last
,
for
transferring
all
his
Majesties
power
into
other
hands
.
And
they
put
a
Garrison
into
the
Town
of
Hull
,
and
appoint
Sir
Iohn
Hotham
the
Governour
of
it
,
and
they
possesse
themselves
of
his
Majesties
Magazine
there
,
and
manage
and
dispose
it
as
they
please
.
And
Ian

27.
the
House
of
Commons
,
as
is
pretended
,
to
enable
them
with
security
to
discharge
their
duty
about
that
Message
,
petitioned
his
Majesty
,
that
the
Tower
of
London
,
and
the
principall
Forts
and
the
Militia
of
the
Kingdome
might
be
put
into
the
hands
of
such
persons
as
should
be
recommended
by
them
:
and
the
Lords
having
refused
to
joyne
with
the
Commons
in
that
Petition
,
multitudes
of
poore
people
in
and
about
London
,
did
therefore
petition
the
House
of
Commons
,
Ian
.
31.
complaining
of
a
malignant
party
in
the
Lords
House
(
those
who
would
not
joyne
with
them
in
the
Militia-businesse
)
and
desiring
that
they
be
made
manifest
unto
them
,
declaring
that
they
,
would
lay
hold
on
the
next
opportunity
,
to
remove
those
Disturbera
of
their
peace
.
Also
that
day
Master
Hollis
made
a
Speech
to
the
Lords
,
enforcing
the
petition
at
a
Conference
with
the
House
of
Commons
;
whereupon
divers
Lords
being
discontented
went
away
;
and
so
the
Militia
was
carried
in
the
Lords
House
(
or
rather
they
shuffled
themselves
into
the
Militia
)
being
at
least
twice
before
rejected
by
double
their
number
who
consented
to
it
,
when
there
was
no
popish
Lord
present
,
and
twelve
Bishops
in
the
Tower
:
and
since
that
time
they
have
been
able
to
carry
any
thing
,
and
upon
the
matter
,
the
resolution
of
the
House
of
Commons
hath
been
wholly
guided
by
those
persons
who
had
given
so
plain
evidence
that
they
had
the
multitude
at
their
command
,
and
hath
wholly
guided
that
of
the
House
of
Peeres
,
who
with
little
debate
,
or
dispute
,
have
,
for
the
most
part
,
submitted
to
whatsoever
hath
been
brought
to
them
.
Two
dayes
after
viz.
Febr
.
2.
the
Lords
and
Commons
petition
the
King
that
he
would
be
pleased
forthwith
to
put
the
Tower
of
London
,
and
all
other
Forts
,
and
the
whole
Militia
of
the
Kingdome
,
into
the
hands
of
such
persons
as
should
be
recommended
to
his
Majesty
by
both
Houses
of
Parliament
;
that
,
as
is
pretended
,
they
may
securely
prosecute
his
Majesties
gracious
Message
,
as
before
,
but
indeed
that
they
may
more
securely
prosecute
their
Designe
.
And
Febr
.
12.
they
offer
to
his
Majesty
a
List
of
the
names
of
those
men
which
were
thought
fit
to
be
intrusted
with
the
Militia
of
the
Kingdome
.
And
Febr
.
16.
they
renew
their
Petition
concerning
the
Militia
.
Also
Febr
.
25.
they
offer
unto
him
the
Ordinance
of
the
Militia
.
And
March
1.
they
petition
him
again
concerning
the
Militia
.
And
lastly
,
they
mention
the
businesse
of
the
Militia
in
their
Petition
to
his
Majesty
,
March
26.
Now
to
these
severall
Petitions
,
and
to
their
Ordinance
,
his
Majesty
returnes
severall
Answers
,
the
summe
whereof
is
this
.
First
,
concerning
their
Feares
and
Iealousies
,
which
seem
to
be
the
ground
of
their
Petitions
and
Ordinance
;
-
1.
He
sayes
,
that
if
they
will
acquaint
Him
with
the
particular
grounds
of
their
Doubts
and
Feares
,
He
will
apply
Remedies
proportionable
to
those
Feares
.
Ian
.

-
2.
He
conโures
them
,
that
they
would
not
be
transported
by
Iealousies
and
Apprehensions
of
possible
Dangers
,
to
put
themselves
or
his
Maiesty
into
reall
and
present
inconveniences
.
Ian
.
27.
-
3.
He
promiseth
in
this
case
to
deny
them
nothing
but
what
would
alter
the
Fundamentall
Lawes
of
the
Land
,
and
nourish
a
greater
and
more
destructive
Iealousie
between
the
Crown
and
the
Subiect
,
than
any
of
those
which
would
seem
to
be
taken
away
by
such
a
satisfaction
.
Ian
.
27.
-
4.
He
hopes
,
that
their
Feares
and
Iealousies
will
hereafter
be
continued
onely
with
reference
to
his
Majesties
Rights
and
Honour
.
Febr
.
24.
Secondly
,
concerning
the
preamble
to
the
Ordinance
,
which
mentions
a
most
dangerous
and
desperate
Designe
of
late
upon
the
House
of
Commons
,
voted
to
be
an
effect
of
the
bloody
Counsels
of
Papists
,
and
others
ill
affected
,
whereby
doubtlesse
is
meant
his
Majesties
comming
in
Person
to
the
House
of
Commons
.
Jan.
4.
-
1.
His
Majesty
declares
,
and
calls
Almighty
God
to
witnesse
,
that
He
had
no
other
Designe
upon
that
House
,
or
any
Member
of
it
,
than
to
require
,
as
He
did
,
the
persons
of
those
five
Gentlemen
He
had
the
day
before
accused
of
High
Treason
,
and
to
declare
that
He
meant
to
proceed
against
them
legally
,
and
speedily
.
Feb.
28.
And
if
Marques
Hamilton
had
any
hand
in
the
Kings
going
to
the
House
,
it
is
not
improbable
but
that
the
motion
might
come
originally
from
themselves
,
thereby
to
entrap
his
Majesty
,
and
to
picke
a
quarrell
with
Him
,
and
wrest
the
Militia
from
Him
.
-
2.
Concerning
Papists
,
his
Majesty
signified
by
a
Message
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
Febr
.
14.
First
,
that
He
will
by
Proclamation
require
that
all
Statutes
made
concerning
Recusants
,
be
with
all
care
,
diligence
and
severity
put
in
execution
.
Secondly
,
that
He
will
give
present
order
,
if
it
shall
be
held
fit
by
both
Houses
,
that
a
Proclamation
issue
,
to
require
all
Romish
Priests
within
twenty
dayes
to
depart
the
Kingdome
.
And
if
any
shall
be
apprehended
after
that
time
,
that
He
will
grant
no
pardon
to
any
such
without
consent
of
his
Parliament
.
Also
his
Majesty
did
set
forth
a
Proclamation
for
putting
the
Lawes
against
Papists
in
execution
.
March
16.
-
3.
For
the
persons
nominated
to
be
Lieutenants
of
the
severall
Counties
,
his
Majesty
is
contented
to
allow
that
recommendation
,
onely
concerning
the
City
of
London
,
and
such
other
Corporations
as
by
ancient
Charters
have
granted
unto
them
the
power
of
the
Militia
,
his
Maiesty
doth
not
conceive
that
it
can
stand
with
instice
or
policy
to
alter
their
Government
in
that
particular
.
And
his
Majesty
offers
to
grant
to
every
of
those
Lieutenants
such
Commissions
as
he
hath
done
this
Parliament
to
some
Lords-Lieutenants
by
their
advice
;
but
if
that
power
be
not
thought
enough
,
but
that
more
shall
be
thought
fit
,
to
be
granted
to
them
,
than
by
the
Law
is
in
the
Crowne
it selfe
,
his
Majesty
holds
it
reasonable
,
that
the
same
be
by
some
Law
first
vested
in
him
with
power
to
transferre
it
to
those
persons
;
which
he
will
willingly
doe
.
And
whatever
that
power
shall
be
,
his
Majesty
desires
it
may
be
digested
into
an
Act
of
Parliament
,
rather
then
an
Ordinance
;
so
that
all
his
loving
Subjects
may
thereby
particularly
know
,
both
what
they
are
to
doe
,
and
what
they
are
to
suffer
for
their
neglect
,
that
there
may
be
the
least
latitude
for
his
Majesties
good
Subjects
to
suffer
under
any
Arbitrary
power
whatsoever
.

Concerning
the
Tower
of
London
,
his
Majesty
accepted
of
Sir
Iohn
Coniers
to
be
Lievtenant
in
the
place
of
Sir
Iohn
Byron
.
February
,
11.
Lastly
,
touching
the
Ordinance
it selfe
he
refused
to
passe
it
;
in
regard
of
the
preface
which
he
could
not
consent
to
in
Iustice
to
his
Honour
,
and
Innocency
;
as
also
because
it
excluded
his
Maiesty
from
any
power
in
the
disposition
,
or
execution
of
the
Militia
,
together
with
them
,
and
for
a
time
utterly
unlimited
.
Neverthelesse
,
to
compose
this
difference
about
the
Militia
(
if
it
might
be
)
and
to
comply
with
their
desires
so
far
as
he
might
without
violation
of
his
Iust
Rights
,
afterward
when
he
sent
them
that
Message
of
his
purpose
to
goe
into
Ireland
for
suppressing
the
Rebellion
there
(
which
was
April
.
8.
)
he
sent
also
a
bill
for
setling
the
Militia
for
a
yeare
;
and
by
that
Bill
he
consented
to
the
names
they
had
proposed
,
and
in
the
limitation
of
the
power
;
and
provided
,
that
himselfe
should
not
be
able
to
execute
any
thing
but
by
their
advice
;
and
when
his
Maiesty
should
be
out
of
the
Kingdome
,
the
sole
execution
to
be
in
them
,
But
none
of
all
his
Maiesties
Answers
or
offers
did
satisfie
them
;
being
resolved
from
the
beginning
to
be
absolute
masters
of
the
Militia
,
and
to
dispose
and
execute
it
as
they
please
,
at
all
times
,
and
upon
all
occasions
,
otherwise
it
could
not
have
been
sufficient
and
effectuall
from
time
to
time
,
to
make
good
their
pretended
Priviledges
,
and
power
,
and
to
back
their
irregular
proceedings
;
and
to
compasse
&
effect
their
designes
.
And
seeing
they
can
not
obtaine
it
thus
by
Petition
,
they
begin
now
to
claime
it
of
Right
.
For
(
March
,
2.
and
15.
)
both
Houses
of
Parliament
Resolve
and
Vote
,
That
in
case
of
extream
danger
,
evident
,
and
Imminent
(
as
at
this
time
)
and
upon
his
Majesties
refusall
,
they
have
power
to
order
the
Militia
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
the
People
are
obliged
to
obey
them
by
the
Fundament
all
Laws
of
the
Land
.
And
they
are
confident
that
all
these
who
at
first
stickled
for
them
in
the
motion
to
the
Lords
about
the
Militia
,
will
be
now
ready
to
defend
them
,
and
to
maintaine
these
their
Resolutions
and
Votes
(
if
need
be
)
even
against
the
King
himselfe
.
However
for
my
part
I
doubt
much
of
the
Reality
of
this
whole
businesse
.
-
1o
.
Whether
these
be
Votes
and
Resolutions
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
or
not
rather
of
that
factious
and
Seditious
party
there
;
who
by
the
insolency
of
Tumults
have
driven
away
divers
Members
of
both
Houses
,
and
have
Captivated
the
votes
of
others
,
and
yet
would
carry
on
their
designe
under
the
name
,
and
by
the
pretended
Authority
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
-
2o
.
Whether
there
be
any
such
Imminent
danger
or
no
:
either
from
Enemies
abroad
;
all
the
neighbouring
Princes
being
in
Amity
with
us
.
Or
from
the
popish
party
at
home
;
the
papists
now
being
weak
and
poore
,
disarmed
according
to
Law
,
and
to
pay
their
forfeitures
according
to
the
Law
;
and
being
so
prosecuted
,
that
many
of
them
left
the
Kingdome
.
Or
whether
there
is
not
only
a
pretence
of
dangers
,
that
so
they
may
the
more
Colourably
intrust
themselves
in
the
Militia
,
and
the
people
may
the
more
readily
apply
themselves
to
them
,
and
serve
them
for
their
safety
.
-
3o
.
Whether
setling
of
the
Militia
(
as
they
did
)
absolutely
in
their
own
power
,
was
,
as
is
pretended
,
for
the
safeguard
of
His
Majesties
Person
,
and
of
His
people
(
seeing
it
hath
been
imployed
against
both
)
or
not
rather
for
the
safety
of
their
owne
party
onely
,
and
for
the
security
of
their
designe
,
and
that
the
King
might
have
no
possibility
of
raising
the
power
of
the
Kingdome
against
them
,
and
so
of
hindering
them
in
the
prosecution
of
their
designe
.
-
4o
.
Whether
they
possessed
themselves
of
the
Militia
by
way
of
prevention
,
and
that
they
might
be
able
to
defend
the
King
and
Kingdome
against
the
designes
and
attempts
of
Papists
,
and
Forraigne
Forces
;
or
not
rather
by
way
of
preparation
,
to
arme
themselves
against
all
opposers
of
them
,
and
of
their
designe
;
whether
papists
,
or
protestants
;
whether
other
Princes
or
their
own
Soveraigne
.
And
having
now
estated
themselves
in
the
Militia
,
and
in
the
whole
power
of
the
Kingdome
,
see
how
they
begin
with
the
King
himself
,
and
how
audaciously
,
and
earnestly
they
pursue
their
designes
against
him
,
bereaved
now
of
all
meanes
of
offending
them
,
or
defending
himselfe
.
Sir
Iohn
Hotham
keeps
him
out
of
Hull
,
by
Authority
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
April
.
23.
and
28.
And
when
upon
this
Traiterous
Action
he
moved
the
Gentry
of
York
for
a
Guard
of
Horse
to
secure
his
person
,
they
voted
,
That
his
Majesty
intended
War
against
his
Parliament
,
May
12.
and
20.
And
they
declare
against
the
Kings
Negative
Vote
(
even
in
the
Militia
)
May
26
;
And
that
they
should
not
want
duty
or
Modesty
,
if
they
made
the
highest
presidents
of
other
Parliaments
their
patternes
(
i
.
)
if
they
should
depose
,
and
murder
him
,
as
other
unparralleld
Parliaments
had
done
,
Edward
,
and
Richard
both
the
second
.
Yea
the
Members
of
the
House
of
Commons
trample
upon
him
singly
:
and
Martin
saies
publiquely
,
and
unreproved
,
That
his
Office
is
forfeited
,
and
that
the
happinesse
of
this
Kingdome
doth
not
depend
upon
him
or
any
of
the
Regall
Branches
of
that
Stock
;
and
Ludlow
,
That
he
was
not
worthy
to
be
King
of
England
.
Nor
doth
the
designe
Terminate
in
the
person
of
the
King
,
but
strikes
at
the
Regall
power
it selfe
:
And
(
Iunij
2o
)
they
offer
to
his
Majesty
nineteen
propositions
,
as
the
most
effectuall
meanes
through
Gods
blessing
of
removeing
the
lealousies
and
differences
betwixt
them
(
see
now
the
end
of
these
politique
Feares
and
Iealousies
)
and
they
humbly
advise
and
petition
his
Maiesty
(
capable
now
as
they
think
of
any
thing
,
)
That
the
Lords
,
and
others
of
his
Maiesties
privy
Councell
,
and
such
great
Officers
and
Ministers
of
State
,
either
at
home
,
or
beyond
the
Seas
,
may
be
put
from
his
Privy
Councell
,
and
from
those
Offices
and
Imployments
;
excepting
such
as
shall
be
approved
of
by
both
Houses
of
Parliament
;
and
that
the
persons

be
put
into

may
be

Chiefe
Justices
,
and
Chiefe
Baron
,
may
alwaies
be
chosen
with
the
approbation
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
-
That
the
Governours
of
the
Kings
Children
shall
be
approved
of
by
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
And
that
no
marriage
shal
be
concluded
,
or
Treated
for
any
those
Children
,
without
the
Consent
of
Parliament
.
-
That
His
Majesty
would
be
pleased
to
consent
,
that
such
a
Reformation
be
made
of
the
Church
Government
and
Liturgy
,
as
both
Houses
of
Parliament
shall
advise
,
after
Consultation
had
with
Divines
.
-
That
His
Majesty
would
rest
satisfied
with
the
course
that
the
Lords
and
Commons
have
appointed
for
the
Militia
,
untill
the
same
shall
be
farther
ordered
by
a
Bill
.
-
That
the
Forts
,
and
Castles
of
the
Kingdome
,
may
be
put
under
the
Command
and
Custody
of
such
Persons
as
His
Majesty
shall
appoint
with
the
Approbation
of
his
Parliament
.
And
being
impatient
that
His
Majesty
should
refuse
these
their
modest
Propositions
,
according
to
the
Latitude
of
their
desires
,
they
resolve
forthwith
to
put
themselves
into
Armes
,
and
as
if
the
ordinary
power
of
the
Kingdome
were
not
sufficient
for
them
(
to
shew
what
they
are
able
to
doe
)
they
will
raise
an
Army
also
;
both
to
establish
whatsoever
before
they
had
Voted
,
and
Declared
,
and
Ordered
,
and
Acted
,
and
to
wring
and
wrest
from
His
Majesty
whatsoever
they
had
proposed
:
and
being
no
better
Patriots
,
then
Subjects
,
they
will
by
an
Intestine
Division
,
and
Civill
Warre
destroy
the
present
being
of
this
Kingdome
,
rather
then
not
to
overthrow
the
first
Constitution
of
it
.
And
so
(
June
10.
)
they
publish
Propositions
,
and
Orders
for
bringing
in
of
Mony
or
Plate
,
to
maintaine
Horse
,
Horsemen
,
or
Armes
(
as
is
pretended
)
for
the
preservation
of
the
publick
Peace
,
and
for
the
Defence
of
the
King
,
and
both
Houses
of
Parliament
:
And
they
Declare
,
that
whatsoever
is
brought
in
shall
not
be
at
all
employed
upon
any
other
occasion
then
to
maintaine
the
protestant
Religion
,
the
Kings
Authority
and
his
Person
in
his
Royall
Dignity
,
the
free
course
of
Iustice
,
the
Lawes
of
the
Laud
,
the
peace
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
the
Priviledges
of
Parliament
,
against
any
Force
that
shall
oppose
them
.
And
now
the
Citizens
of
London
enter
againe
upon
the
Stage
,
and
act
their
parts
in
raising
this
Army
,
as
they
had
done
before
in
promoting
the
Militia
.
And
to
this
purpose
they
bring
in
money
and
plate
in
abundance
;
and
so
doth
the
Disciplinarian
party
generally
in
other
Cities
,
and
Corporations
,
and
throughout
the
whole
Kingdome
,
that
they
may
at
length
by
force
of
Armes
compleat
and
finish
their
designe
;
and
that
under
the
pretended
Authority
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
,
and
under
the
pretence
of
maintaining
the
particulars
aforesaid
.
But
the
nineteen
propositions
sufficiently
declare
to
the
world
their
Intentions
,
and
Resolutions
,
specially
since
they
insisted
also
upon
the
same
Propositions
at
the
Treaty
of
peace
.
3.
February
,
1642.
Hence
(
Iune
,
16.
)
his
Majesty
sets
forth
a
Declaration
,
disavowing
any
intention
of
raising
or
Levying
war
against
his
Parliament
,
shewing
what
a
speciall
number
are
present
in
Parliament
;
how
with
their
skill
and
violence
they
have
driven
away
divers
Members
from
them
;
and
how
out
of
the
horror
of
their
proceedings
others
have
withdrawne
themselves
from
them
,
and
that
there
remaines
onely
a
malignant
party
who
have
despised
his
Person
,
and
usurped
his
Office
,
and
would
ruine
and
destroy
him
.
And
by
reason
of
the
Alarmes
lately
given
him
,
he
thinks
it
necessary
to
put
himselfe
into
a
posture
of
defence
,
and
he
invites
all
his
loving
Subjects
to
bring
in
plate
and
money
,
either
of
guift
,
or
upon
Loans
,
that
he
may
be
able
to
raise
an
Army
.
-
1o
.
For
the
defence
,
and
maintenance
of
the
Protestant
Religion
(
especially
in
Worship
,
and
Church
Governement
)
established
by
law
,
and
by
vote
in
a
full
and
free
Convention
this
Parliament
,
against
a
Factious
and
Seditious
party
,
in
the
City
of
London
,
and
throughout
the
whole
Kingdome
;
who
first
overthrew
the
freedome
of
Parliament
by
Tumults
,
and
now
endeavour
to
over
throw
our
Religion
by
force
of
Armes
,
and
who
are
countenanced
by
a
Factious
and
Seditious
party
in
the
Houses
,
assuming
to
themselves
the
name
of
Parliament
.
-
2o
.
For
the
vindication
and
maintenance
of
the
Liberty
and
Freedome
of
Parliaments
against
that
Seditious
and
Tumultuous
party
aforesaid
.
-
3o
.
For
the
vindication
and
maintenance
of
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
in
his
person
and
estate
,
against
their
illegall
Ordinances
,
and
Arbitrary
and
Tyrannicall
proceedings
.
And
(
saith
the
Confession
of
the
Church
of
Scotland
)
whosoever
deny
unto
Kings
and
Princes
their
aid
,
counsell
and
comfort
,
whilest
they
travell
vigilantly
in
the
execution
of
their
Office
(
as
his
Maiesty
doth
in
defending
and
maintaining
the
premises
,
even
with
the
hazard
of
his
life
,
)
we
affirme
that
the
same
men
deny
their
helpe
,
support
,
and
counsell
to
God
,
who
by
the
presence
of
his
Lieutenant
doth
crave
it
of
them
.
Besides
his
Majesty
raised
his
Army
for
the
vindication
and
recovery
of
his
Rights
taken
from
Him
,
in
the
Forts
,
and
Castles
,
and
the
Militia
,
and
his
Navy
,
(
without
which
He
cannot
discharge
his
Kingly
Office
,
and
protect
his
people
)
and
for
his
negative
Vote
,
declared
against
.
As
also
for
the
Defence
of
his
Crown
and
Life
in
danger
,
after
it
had
been
declared
,
That
they
should
not
want
duty
or
modesty
if
they
followed
the
highest
precedents
of
other
Parliaments
.
And
in
this
respect
we
have
a
farther
obligation
upon
us
by
our
Oathes
enjoyned
by
Law
,
which
is
,
To
defend
the
King
to
the
utmost
of
our
power
,
against
all
Conspiracies
and
Attempts
whatsoever
,
which
shall
be
made
against
his
Majesties
person
,
his
Crown
,
and
Dignity
;
and
to
our
power
to
assist
all
jurisdictions
,
priviledges
,
preheminences
,
and
authorities
,
belonging
to
Him
,
or
united
to
the
Imperiall
Crown
of
this
Realme
.
Thus
have
I
shewed
thee
,
Reader
,
the
beginnings
of
this
Warre
;
and
therein
mayst
thou
see
the
justnesse
of
the
Kings
Cause
,
and
the
necessity
of
his
Armes
;
and
from
thence
must
thy
Conscience
be
directed
,
and
not
from
the
carriage
or
successe
of
it
.
I
have
shewed
thee
how
from
the
very
first
Reformation
amongst
us
,
there
hath
been
a
factious
and
seditious
party
,
(
I
mean
the
Disciplinarians
)
enemies
to
the
Church
and
State
,
how
they
have
multiplied
from
time
to
time
,
and
how
at
this
time
their
power
is
encreased
by
reason
of
the
populousnesse
and
wealth
of
the
City
of
London
,
and
a
compliance
of
some
Members
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
with
them
.
Thou
hast
seen
how
at
first
in
a
Parliamentary
way
they
attempted
their
Design
of
overthrowing
the
present
Government
of
the
Church
and
State
;
and
how
failing
in
that
way
,
they
appeared
in
Tumults
,
and
overbore
the
Parliament
;
driving
away
divers
of
the
Members
who
favoured
not
their
ends
;
and
captivating
the
Votes
of
others
by
force
and
violence
;
and
how
by
these
meanes
under
the
name
and
authority
of
the
Parliament
(
upon
pretence
of
Feares
and
Iealousies
)
they
possessed
themselves
of
the
power
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
then
affronted
the
King
in
the
businesse
of
Hull
,
and
declared
against
Him
,
and
offered
Him
(
as
a
meanes
of
Reconciliation
)
propositions
destructive
of
Royalty
;
and
lastly
,
how
they
took
up
Armes
,
to
compleat
and
finish
their
Designe
;
whereupon
his
Majesty
was
necessitated
to
arme
Himself
also
,
for
defence
of
Himselfe
and
of
the
Parliament
,
and
of
his
Subjects
,
and
of
our
Religion
.
And
be
thou
assured
,
that
they
who
could
not
carry
their
businesse
in
a
full
and
free
Convention
of
Parliament
,
will
never
be
able
to
prevaile
upon
a
free
Debate
and
Treaty
,
and
so
they
will
never
debate
it
in
a
Treaty
;
but
what
they
begun
by
Tumults
,
they
will
determine
and
establish
by
the
Sword
;
so
the
differences
are
irreconcileable
,
and
the
course
of
Warre
unalterable
,
and
the
destruction
of
thy
poore
Countrey
inevitable
.
Rowse
up
therefore
thy selfe
for
redeeming
the
peace
of
thy
Countrey
;
and
have
publique
thoughts
in
thee
of
supporting
the
frame
of
this
tottering
Church
and
State
,
rather
than
of
saving
thy selfe
,
and
thine
,
(
knowing
also
that
thy
private
cannot
be
safe
so
long
as
the
publike
is
in
danger
:
)
and
apply
thy selfe
forthwith
to
his
Majesties
service
,
and
be
zealous
and
industrious
in
it
;
and
resolve
under
his
Majesty
to
live
and
die
a
loyall
Subject
to
thy
Soveraigne
,
a
faithfull
Servant
of
the
Parliament
,
a
true
English
Protestant
,
and
a
free-borne
English-man
.
And
the
glorious
Maiesty
of
the
our
Lord
God
be
upon
us
,
prosper
thou
the
worke
of
our
hands
upon
us
,
O
prosper
thou
our
handy
workes
.
And
,
Reader
,
for
thy
better
information
,
and
through
satisfaction
concerning
this
present
Warre
,
I
shall
now
lay
down
before
thee
the
Grounds
of
my
own
resolution
against
the
Warre
on
the
Parliaments
side
,
in
point
of
Conscience
.
Whatsoever
is
not
of
faith
,
is
sin
.
Rom.
14.23
.
(
i
.
)
saith
Master
Perkins
,
Whatsoever
a
man
doth
,
his
Conscience
reluctating
,
or
doubting
,
or
erring
,
is
sin
in
the
party
so
doing
it
.
In
this
case
1.
My
Conscience
doubteth
whether
this
be
a
free
Parliament
;
or
no
;
(
i
.
)
whether
the
Members
of
both
Houses
had
their
freedome
of
Vote
in
Parliament
,
or
whether
it
was
not
taken
away
by
the
Sectaries
,
Separatists
,
and
others
,
in
and
about
the
City
of
London
,
disaffected
to
the
present
Government
of
the
Church
and
State
;
resorting
in
great
multitudes
to
Westminster
with
swords
and
clubs
,
(
and
sent
for
to
)
when
any
thing
was
likely
to
be
carried
in
the
Houses
against
their
party
,
and
contrary
to
their
Designe
.
I
doubt
also
whether
his
Majesty
had
his
freedome
,
or
his
safety
;
those
tumultuous
people
,
as
they
passed
through
the
streets
,
using
many
desperate
&
seditious
speeches
,
That
the
King
was
the
Traitor
,
That
the
young
Prince
would
governe
better
,
That
it
is
not
fit
the
King
should
live
.
Yea
in
the
height
of
their
rage
,
as
they
returned
from
Westminster
,
they
made
a
stand
at
Whitehall
Gate
,
(
as
they
were
bid
to
do
)
saying
,
That
they
will
have
no
more
Porters
Lodge
,
but
would
speak
with
the
King
when
they
pleased
.
2.
The
King
and
Members
not
having
freedome
and
safety
.
I
doubt
whether
this
be
a
Parliament
or
no
.
For
what
is
a
Parliament
but
a
Carcase
,
when
the
freedome
thereof
is
suppressed
?
saith
Master
Pym
,
in
his
Speech
of
The
Discovery
of
the
great
Plot
.
And
say
the
Lords
and
Commons
at
Oxford
,
in
their
late
Declaration
,
for
want
of
freedome
of
Vote
,
the
power
of
Parliament
is
suspended
;
and
there
can
be
no
Parliamentary
Action
or
Authority
untill
it
be
restored
and
secured
.
And
in
the
interim
,
the
Members
at
Westminster
sit
,
not
in
a
politique
,
but
a
naturall
capacity
onely
,
and
so
have
no
power
or
authority
to
act
or
command
any
thing
.
3.
If
this
were
a
full
and
free
Convention
of
Parliament
,
I
doubt
whether
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
have
Authority
to
take
up
Armes
against
the
King
,
be
it
for
preservation
of
Religion
and
Liberty
;
for
,
-
1.
The
Members
of
both
Houses
are
Subjects
,
(
and
so
acknowledge
themselves
in
their
petitions
to
his
Majesty
)
and
I
doubt
,
whether
even
in
these
cases
Subjects
may
take
up
Armes
against
their
Soveraigne
.
The
Doctrine
of
the
Church
of
England
,
delivered
in
the
Bookes
of
Homilies
,
is
clearly
against
it
.
Again
,
the
Subjects
of
the
Kingdome
of
England
diffusively
considered
cannot
take
up
Armes
against
the
King
,
and
how
then
can
their
Representatives
assembled
in
Parliament
,
seeing
they
have
no
power
but
what
the
people
at
large
have
given
them
.
-
2.
I
have
not
read
or
heard
of
any
known
Law
warranting
them
thus
to
take
up
Armes
;
and
I
doubt
whether
they
may
do
it
(
as
is
pretended
)
by
the
Fundamentall
Lawes
of
the
Land
.
For
if
the
thus
preserving
of
Religion
and
Liberty
(
against
the
King
,
endeavouring
to
alter
the
one
,
or
destroy
the
other
)
were
committed
to
the
Houses
of
Parliament
by
the
Constitution
of
the
Kingdome
,
doubtlesse
it
would
never
have
given
power
to
the
King
of
calling
and
dissolving
Parliaments
at
pleasure
;
for
so
that
meanes
of
preservation
is
made
uncertain
,
yea
it
becomes
certainly
none
at
all
;
seeing
it
cannot
be
conceived
,
but
the
King
in
that
case
would
either
not
call
,
or
presently
dissolve
the
Parliament
,
if
He
saw
they
would
arme
themselves
against
Him
.
Yea
,
rather
I
believe
,
that
the
King
hath
power
to
call
and
dissolve
Parliaments
by
the
Constitution
of
the
Kingdome
,
that
so
He
may
prevent
all
such
proceedings
,
which
would
otherwise
from
time
to
time
embroile
the
Kingdome
in
Civill
Warre
.
So
these
Armes
being
not
warranted
by
any
Law
,
all
their
Ordinances
and
Commands
,
in
order
to
this
Warre
,
are
one
onely
personall
and
of
their
own
private
wills
,
not
legall
and
judiciall
;
and
so
may
be
resisted
by
their
own
exposition
of
the
place
,
Rom.
13.2
.
Yea
,
this
pretended
legall
power
of
Subjects
taking
up
Armes
against
their
Soveraigne
,
is
against
the
very
Fundamentals
of
policy
,
and
tends
to
the
destruction
of
policies
:
for
in
every
constituted
Kingdome
and
Common-wealth
there
is
but
one
Sword
,
and
that
committed
to
the
Supreme
Magistrate
;
and
if
the
people
also
were
armed
with
another
Sword
,
how
upon
all
occasions
(
reall
and
pretended
,
as
at
this
day
)
would
there
be
continuall
clashing
between
them
,
and
intestine
Divisions
,
and
Civill
Warres
,
than
which
nothing
is
more
pernicious
and
destructive
to
a
Common-wealth
,
no
not
Tyranny
it selfe
.
Neverthelesse
in
this
case
we
are
not
left
remedilesse
,
even
by
the
constitution
of
the
Kingdome
.
For
whereas
it
is
said
,
The
King
can
do
no
wrong
;
and
what
is
so
done
,
is
said
ever
to
be
done
by
evill
Counsellours
and
Instruments
;
by

Warre

I
doubt
of

Warre

1.
In
respect
of
the
preservation
of
the
Protestant
Religion
against
Popery
;
his
Majesty

his
Message

pressing
them
speedily
,
and
seriously
to
consider
of
all
things
necessary
for
the
security
of
the
true
Religion
now
professed
in
the
Church
of
England
(
with
due
consideration
of
weak
consciences
,
in
point
of
Ceremony
.
)
And

declaring
his
resolution
to
proceed
strictly
against
Papists
,
and
to
banish
out
of
the
Kingdome
all
Romish
Priests
;
and
setting
forth
a
Proclamation
for
putting
all
Lawes
in
execution
against
Papists
without
favour
or
connivance
,
March

Also
in
his
Answer
to
the
Propositions
June

,
offering
to
joyne
with
the
Houses
in
a
speciall
Act
against
Priests
and
resuits
disturbing
the
State
,
and
against
Papists
cluding
the
Lawes
by
Trust
;
and
for
the
Education
of
the
Children
of
Papists
by
Protestants
in
the
Protestant
Religion
(
which

Majesty
renewed
in
his
Message
to
the
Lords
and
Commons
for
a
Treaty
of
Peace
,
April

)
And
by
these
meanes
Popery
would
have
been
suppressed
for
the
present
,
and
in
time
to
come
might
have
been
rooted
out
;
in
a
Legall
and
Parliamentary
way
.
-
2.
In
respect
of
the
preservation
of
the
Liberty
of
the
Subject
;
which
after
it
had
been
asserted
by
severall
Acts
this
Parliament
,
his
Majesty
by
the
said
Message
Ian
.
20.
advised
them
farther
to
secure
uโ
to
themselves
,
if
it
were
needfull
.
And
had
there
been
any
Invasion
of
our
Liberties
,
(
as
who
durst
invade
them
?
the
Parliament
sitting
as
long
as
they
please
,
by
the
Act
of
Continuation
,
which
secures
unto
them
a
full
operation
of
all
Remedies
in
this
kinde
,
according
to
their
own
confession
in
the
Remonstrance
,
Decemb
.
15
)
I
say
,
had
any
one
presumed
to
invade
out
Liberties
,
the
Militia
being
also
setled
(
as
it
might
have
been
)
by
Act
of
Parliament
,
in
the
hands
of
such
Lieutenants
as
they
did
confide
in
,
which
his
Majesty
offered
to
do
,
not
excluding
Himselfe
altogether
from
the
Execution
of
it
,
there
would
have
been
a
sure
meanes
of
bringing
to
condigne
punishment
the
offenders
in
that
kinde
;
because
the
Houses
might
in
such
a
case
have
caused
that
Act
to
be
put
in
Execution
,
in
order
to
the
preservation
of
our
Liberty
,
and
of
Religion
too
,
if
needfull
;
and
of
their
power
and
priviledge
of
calling
in
,
and
proceeding
against
Delinquents
also
,
as
they
have
power
upon
occasion
to
put
any
Law
in
Execution
.
But
they
would
not
be
satisfied
with
that
offer
of
the
Kings
for
setling
the
Militia
in
the
ordinary
way
,
because
it
could
not
agree
with
their
ends
,
which
were
extraordinary
:
nor
could
they
afterward
so
well
have
put
the
Militia
(
as
they
did
)
in
Execution
against
Him
,
unlesse
at
first
they
had
ordered
it
to
be
executed
without
Him
.

These
Armes
taken
up
at
first
onely
Defensively
(
as
was
pretended
)
are
used
also
offensively
.
1.
To
overthrow
our
Religion
by
Law
established
,
in
Doctrine
,
Worship
,
Government
,
and
Discipline
;
which
is
also
contrary
to
the
profession
they
made
in
their
Orders
and
Propositions
for
bringing
in
Money
and
Place
,
Iune
10.
For
therein
they
declare
,
that
whatsoever
is
brought
in
shall
not
at
all
be
imployed
upon
any
other
occasion
than
to
maintain
the
Protestant
Religion
,
the
Lawes
of
the
Land
,
&c.
And
that
must
doubtlesse
be
the
Protestant
Religion
established
by
the
Lawes
of
the
Land
.
2.
To
overthrow
the
Kings
Legall
Prerogative
,
and
Supremacy
.
1.
In
Ecclesiasticall
matters
,
by
abolishing
of
Episcopacy
,
and
setting
up
the
Presbytery
;
for
whereas
the
Bishops
(
the
chiefe
Governours
of
the
Church
under
his
Majesty
)
have
their
nomination
from
the
King
,
and
there
is
a
finall
Appeale
from
them
to
the
King
,
the
Presbyterian
Discipline
doth
admit
of
neither
,
but
will
be
in
both
respects
independent
to
Him
.
2.
In
Civill
matters
,
by
taking
from
Him
the
nomination
of
the
great
Officers
of
State
,
and
of
the
Lord
Admirall
,
and
of
the
Warden
of
the
Cinque
Ports
,
and
the
Disposition
of
the
Forts
and
Castles
,
and
of
the
Militia
,
&c.
and
by
setling
the
chiefe
power
in
all
these
things
for
ever
in
the
Parliament
:
and
this
is
also
contrary
to
the
profession
they
made
in
their
Propositions
and
Orders
,
Iune
10.
for
therein
they
declare
,
That
whatsoever
is
brought
in
shal
not
at
all
be
imployed
upon
any
other
occasion
than
to
maintain
the
Kings
Authority
,
and
his
Person
in
his
Royall
Dignity
.
Yea
,
these
Armes
are
used
to
overthrow
the
very
first
Constitution
of
the
Kingdome
;
by
endeavouring
to
bring
in
the
Presbytery
in
the
Church
,
and
Aristocracy
and
Democracy
in
the
Common-wealth
,
and
of
a
Soveraigne
to
make
this
a
meere
Titular
Monarchy
.
And
this
doubtlesse
was
the
Designe
from
the
Beginning
;
for
what
is
last
in
execution
is
ever
first
in
intention
,
as
รจ
contra
;
and
in
the
Act
for
the
Continuation
of
this
Parliament
,
they
laid
their
foundation
for
attempting
it
;
and
afterward
they
prosecuted
it
from
time
to
time
:
first
by
the
Protestation
,
then
by
Sir
Arthur
Hasterigges
Bill
,
and
by
their
Remonstrance
,
Decemb
.
15.
and
by
imploying
seditious
Preachers
,
and
by
licencing
seditious
Pamphlets
,
and
by
raising
and
countenancing
Tumults
,
by
protecting
the
Lord
Kymbolton
and
the
Five
Members
,
by
putting
the
Bishops
out
of
the
House
of
Lords
,
by
wresting
the
Militia
from
the
King
,
by
scruing
and
detaining
from
Him
his
Magazine
at
Hull
,
by
their
Declarations
,
that
especially
May
26.
by
the
tender
of
the
nineteen
Propositions
;
and
lastly
,
by
their
taking
up
Armes
;
yea
,
by
their
malitious
and
perverse
constructions
and
applications
,
they
made
all
occurrents
past
and
present
,
in
Church
and
State
,
subservient
to
this
their
Designe
.
Lastly
,
these
Armes
are
used
to
overthrow
the
very
Constitution
of
Parliament
,
and
to
compell
the
Kings
Vote
and
consent
to
those
things
,
against
Himselfe
,
against
the
Church
,
and
therein
against
his
Oath
which
He
took
at
his
Coronation
to
defend
the
Bishops
and
their
Churches
.
And
in
this
fifth
and
last
respect
,
there
is
in
me
a
reluctancy
of
Conscience
against
this
Warre
on
the
Parliaments
side
.
And
you
,
who
out
of
an
erroneous
Conscience
have
engaged
your selves
in
this
Warre
,
on
the
Parliaments
part
against
the
King
,
be
admonished
from
henceforth
to
desist
,
and
to
repent
;
for
as
much
as
you
may
plainly
see
,
that
since
the
Tumults
begun
this
was
not
a
free
Parliament
,
and
so
for
the
time
no
Parliament
at
all
,
in
respect
of
action
,
or
authority
;
and
if
it
were
a
full
and
free
Convention
of
Parliament
,
yet
they
have
no
power
to
take
up
Armes
against
the
King
,
be
it
for
preservation
of
Religion
and
Liberty
;
and
at
this
time
there
was
no
necessity
of
taking
up
Armes
in
these
respects
;
yea
,
and
the
Armes
taken
up
are
used
offensively
,
and
imployed
unjustly
against
the
King
,
the
Law
,
and
Religion
;
to
overthrow
the
Religion
by
Law
established
,
and
to
devest
the
King
of
his
just
legall
Prerogative
,
and
so
to
overthrow
the
Fundamentall
Constitution
of
the
Kingdome
.
Now
whosoever
go
about
to
overthrow
Policies
long
since
established
,
are
enemies
to
mankinde
,
and
fight
against
God's
expressed
will
,
saith
the
Confession
of
the
Church
of
Scotland
.
O
my
Soule
,
come
not
thou
into
their
secret
