summary:
  ALthough it may happily be contrary to the Expectation of some , that J attend not the service of the House of Commons at this time , as J have constantly done for almost seven yeares last past ; yet can it not be reasonably expected by any that will consider the violence offered to both the Houses of Parliament , and to my selfe in particular the last monday , July 26. Insomuch that J can safely take it upon my conscience , and so J doubt not may all the Members of both Houses also , that they sat in continuall feare of their lives , and by terrour thereof were compelled to passe such Votes as it pleased an unruly multitude to inforce upon them ; which as J did then openly declare in the House , so J cannot but believe that they are all void and Nul , being extorted by force and violence , and in that manner that they were : And J cannot any longer dispence with my selfe to be an instrument in passing such Votes , and to give any colour or shadow of Parliamentary authority unto them , which were not the Votes of the representative body of the Kingdome ; but of a tumultuous multitude , as those must needs be accounted that seemed to passe the House on Monday July 26. and which shall passe hereafter untill better provision be made for the safe and free sitting of the Houses of Parliament ; there being no effectuall course taken by the City since the adiournment of the House , to prevent the like tumults for the future no nor so much as a Declaration from them , to shew their dislike thereof : but on the contrary , it was generally voiced in the Towne , that there would be a farre greater confluence of Apprentizes , Reformado's , and others by Friday at the Parliament dores ; and particular notice was given to me , that after they had made the House Vote what they pleased , they would destroy me : J had likewise information given me that there would be a great number of Apprentizes of a contrary opinion and affection to the other , about the Parliament dores on Friday morning , which J foresaw must ▪ of necessity cause a great combustion , and in probability occasion much bloud-shed .

  Mr. Speakers letter to the Kings most excellent Majestie, Febr. 16, 1641 concerning the great affayres, and state of the kingdome.

summary:
  Jt is true , there is nothing engageth a soule to God , or a Subject to a King , as the appearance of love , this made Moses to say : How dreadfull is thy place O God , and this is that which hath stollen me from my selfe , so that J am no more mine owne , but yours ; yea , by this returne of yours to your people , you will winne them to obedience with kindnesse , and by doing so ; you will make good that which you were sent for , whose eares ought to be imployed for the good of your Subjects ; knowing that their love is your greatest safety , and their prosperity your greatest honour and ●elicity ; & this is that which will make your bed easie ; when you shall possesse the just Title to the Crowne with the love of your people , and the continuance of it with the willing applause of the Subject , is the ●ighest way to a blessing , and the hopes of this is that which hath brought me to renue and confirme the Covenant that your Majesty made with me from your first entrance to the Crowne , and because you could not sweare by no greater , swore by the eternall God , that you would defend mee , and at the first of our contract we made but one , your power and all that you had was mine to defend me , & to do me good , but there have bin some of late , that have set your Majesty against mee . Jt is too true by the meanes of our Sauls , your Majesty became to your people and Commons , as the Angell was unto Gydeon , and so made them affrayd , but like the Angell that made Gydeon affrayd , your Majesty hath returned to their comfort , and as God he useth , where he loues ▪ he imployes , and like Christ himselfe you are now willing to enjoy them b● a willing contract , and not by 〈◊〉 , and by this meanes you appeare now unto your people like Moses , who had more glory by his Vale , then by his face , and I doe no● doubt but when all things shall be made manifest , but that one faithfull DAVID will be in more 〈◊〉 with your Majesty ; then either the Sauls or Baalams 〈…〉 is true , by the meanes of our Sauls the Crowne 〈◊〉 become full of cares , and your Majesty 〈◊〉 almost beene wearied by them , would faine now take some rest , and that your Majesty may rest , J will with Iacob give God no rest untill he have blessed you , wherefore being now reconciled unto your Commons , you will become as sweet and pleasant to the Church , and the three Kingdomes , as the Tree that God shewed to Moses , which when he cast into the waters , the waters were made sweet ( which formerly were bitter ) J know that thankefulnesse and love , can doe more with good men , then merit or necessity , and me thinkes I see you like our Saviour who thirsted after the salvation of Mankind , and J beleeve it was not so much out of drynesse as out of love , goe you and doe so likewise , knowing that modest beginnings , and hopefull proceedings makes happy endings , and for your comfort know , that God whose Battels you fight , will provide a due reward , and so J commend the saying of Salomon unto you , Eccles. 9.10 .

Colonel John Lilburn (arbitrary and aristocratical prisoner in the Tower of London) to Mr. William Lenthall Speaker to the remainder of those few knights, citizens, and burgesses that Col. Thomas Pride at his late purge thought convenient to leave sitting at Westminster ... who ... pretendedly stile themselves ... the Parliament of England, intrusted and authorised by the consent of all the people thereof, whose representatives by election ... they are; although they are never able to produce one bit of a law, or any piece of a commission to prove, that all the people of England, ... authorised Thomas Pride, ... to chuse them a Parliament, as indeed he hath de facto done by this pretended mock-Parliament: and therefore it cannot properly be called the nations or peoples Parliament, but Col. Pride's and his associates, whose really it is; who, although they have beheaded the King for a tyrant, yet walk in his oppressingest steps, if not worse and higher.
