EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

We
come
on
purpose
to
hear
the
Continuation
of
your
History
of
Whiggisme
;
Tory.
I
neither
am
able
(
nor
do
I
pretend
)
to
tell
you
any
thing
but
what
is
to
be
found
in
Chronicles
,
Histories
,
and
at
large
already
in
Print
.
Tant
.
Ay
,
but
I
have
not
Money
to
buy
them
,
nor
Leisure
to
read
large
Volumes
,
give
us
onely
an
Abridgment
out
of
those

Collections

in
relation
only
to
the
Whiggisme
of
them
.
Tory.
With
all
my
heart
;
where
left
I
off
?
Tant
.
At
Mr.
Moor's
Release
and
Discharge
by
his
Gracious
Majesty
Charles
1.
and
the
Imprisonment
and
Release
of
the
Earl
of
Arundel
.
Tory.
Oh!
'T
is
Right
.
Whigg
.
But
was
not
that
part
of
the
Kings
Answer
about
the
Imprisonment
of
the
Earl
of
Arundel
(
namely
—
My
Lords
,
By
this
I
do
not
mean
to
shew
the
Power
of
a
King
,
by
diminishing
your
Priviledges
;
)
ill
resented
by
the
House
of
Lords
?
Tory.
It
plainly
Intimated
that
the
King
thought
He
had
such
a
Power
,
or
some
(
about
him
)
made
him
believe
he
had
such
a
Power
of
a
King
to
Diminish
their
Priviledges
,
but
he
did
not
mean
to
show
it
.
Tant
.
No
,
the
more
Gracious
King
He.
Tory.
However
,
the
House
of
Lords
were
so
Allarum'd
at
the
Expression
,
that
lest
they
should
happen
to
have
a
King
that
was
less
Gracious
or
of
a
worse
Meaning
,
they
would
not
meddle
with
any
Business
'till
they
had
secured
as
well
as
claim'd
their
Priviledges
,
by
another
Tenure
than
what
was
meerly
Arbitrary
,
Ad
libitum
Regis
,
and
therefore
Adjourn'd
in
Disgust
,
resolving
unanimously
to
take
nothing
into
Consideration
,
'till
they
had
Contrived
how
their
Priviledges
might
be
Secur'd
to
Posterity
;
which
being
perceiv'd
,
the
Earl
of
Arundel
(
as
you
have
heard
)
was
Releas't
to
them
,
for
which
he
was
thankfull
.
Tant
.
Ay
,
that
was
right
Tory-like
,
and
most
Loyally
done
;
some
Whiggs
would
not
so
Religiously
have
Kist
the
Rod
that
whips
them
.
Whigg
.
'T
is
somewhat
against
the
Grain
of
Humanity
,
to
fawn
,
Spaniel-like
,
upon
the
Hand
that
beats
them
.
Tant
.
Some
men
are
so
Loyal
as
to
make
a
Legg
at
every
Box
of
the
Ear
;
Who
may
say
to
a
King
what
dost
thou
?
Whigg
.
Misapply'd
and
Misconstru'd
Scriptures
make
up
a
Tantivee
,
and
makes
a
man
be
a
Tantivee
.
Tant
.
Why
?
Is
not
the
King's
Will
a
Law
?
Whigg
.
In
France
they
say
,
and
in
Turkey
,
not
in
England
;
for
so
the
Barons
of
England
told
the
two
Cardinals
(
whom
the
Pope
sent
to
Reconcile
the
Differences
betwixt
King
and
People
,
about
Magna
Charta
,
Liberties
and
Prerogative
)
That
,
there
were
many
Worthy
and
Learned
men
in
the
Kingdom
,
whose
Council
they
would
use
and
not
Strangers
,
who
knew
not
the
cause
of
their
Commotion
,
(
in
the
Reign
of
K.
Edward
2.
)
Tory.
No
,
I
must
confess
,
that
Forreigners
(
unacquainted
with
the
Fundamental
Constitution
of
our
Government
and
Laws
)
are
no
Competent
Judges
of
the
lawfulness
or
unlawfulness
of
Contests
betwixt
King
and
People
.
Whigg
.
Ay
,
the
English
were
alwayes
tender
of
their
Liberties
.
Tant
.
But
if
English
Kings
did
Invade
their
Liberties
,
they
used
no
Remedy
(
I
hope
)
but
Prayers
and
Tears
.
Whigg
.
And
Bows
and
Arrows
,
and
long
Swords
,
until
the
Kings
were
Contented
to
Rule
them
according
to
their
Oath
,
and
the
Law
of
the
Land.
Tant
.
Ay
,
Perhaps
when
they
happened
to
have
some
easie
,
weak
,
timerous
and
condescending
King.
Whigg
.
No
,
In
such
a
juncture
,
they
were
alwayes
the
calmer
,
but
grew
rough
,
raging
,
high
and
boysterous
,
the
more
vehement
,
strong
and
tempestuous
their
Kings
were
;
as
for
Instance
,
in
Edw.
1.
another
Saul
,
for
he
was
higher
and
taller
than
ordinary
men
by
the
Head
and
Shoulders
,
and
as
Tyrannical
too
as
King
Saul
was
:
He
at
one
time
(
at
the
Instigation
of
William
Marchian
,
then
Lord
Treasurer
)
fetch
't
all
the
Riches
out
of
the
Churches
and
Religious
Houses
,
and
put
it
into
his
own
Exchequer
;
Loans
,
Benevolences
,
the
Writ
of
Trailbaston
,
great
Fines
were
used
by
him
;
in
the
Seventeenth
Year
of
his
Reign
he
Fined
all
his
Judges
(
pretending
)
for
Corruption
,
the
least
of
them
one
thousand
Marks
,
an
immense
Summe
in
those
dayes
;
but
some
of
them
two
thousand
,
some
three
thousand
,
some
four
thousand
,
some
six
thousand
,
and
the
Chief
Justice
(
Sir
Ralph
de
Hengham
)
seven
thousand
Marks
;
the
Chief
Baron
(
Sir
Adam
Stratton
)
four
and
thirty
thousand
Marks
;
but
from
Thomas
Wayland
all
his
Goods
and
whole
Estate
Confiscate
,
and
himself
Banish't
;
and
just
so
he
used
the
Jews
,
which
were
then
(
in
England
)
very
rich
and
very
numerous
:
'T
is
said
of
K.
Hen.
8.
that
he
never
Spared
Man
in
his
Anger
,
nor
Woman
in
his
Lust
;
but
King
Edw.
1.
was
as
resolv'd
as
he
,
as
Couragious
and
Stout
(
leaving
the
Marks
of
his
personal
Valour
,
the
Trophies
of
his
Victories
in
the
Holy-land
before
he
was
King
)
but
he
could
Disguise
his
furious
Resentments
,
and
Adjourn
Revenge
seven
and
seven
Years
,
'till
he
could
safely
Execute
it
.
Tant

Safely

why
who
should
or
durst
say
to
that
most
Couragious
and
Victorious
King
,
(
that
thrice
Conquer'd
Scotland
,
France

What

His
own
People
and
Subjects
forc't
him
to
reason
,
and
to
Rule
them
according
to
Law

his
Oath

Attended

very
numerous

28
Edw.

to
make

fulfill

Execute
the
Charter

the
Forrest

Walsingham

Famous

Ay

but
how
did
the
Stout
King
Edward
Treat
these
Armed
Petitioners
?
Whigg

They
ask't
nothing
but
what
the
Laws
and
his
own
Oath
ought
to
have
Compelled
him
unto

and
the
King
yielded
to
their
Requests
;

in

the

wholly
granted

Tant

It
was
very
civilly
done

It
was
wisely

honestly
done

Equity
,
Reason

(
from
none
of
which
English
Kings

Constrain

Ambition
and
Covetousness
know
no

and
I
have
read
King
Edward
got
the
Pope
to
set
him
free
from
the
obligation
of
his
Coronation
Oath
and
Magna
Charta

But
did
the
Pope
absolve
him
and
let
him
loose
and
free
from
his
Oath
and
the
Laws
?
Tory.
Yes
,
he
did
;
for
the
Pope
was
a
Native
of
Burdeaux
,
Born
in
King
Edward's
Domnions
,
but
yet
he
would
not
acquit
him
of
his
Oath
and
Obligation
to
his
Subjects
and
his
own
Conscience
,
'till
the
King
sent
his
Holiship
all
manner
of
Vessels
belonging
to
a
Chamber
,
made
of
pure
Gold
,
and
then
the
Pope
untied
the
King
from
the
Covenant
made
with
his
Subjects
concerning
their
Charters
,
Confirmed
unto
them
by
his
last
three
Acts

Has
the
Pope
power
to
do
these
things
?
Whigg

Yes
,
Fools
think
so
,
and
Knaves
would
perswade
others
to
think
so
;
the
King
and
the
Pope
got
by
it
,
but
the
poor
English
Subjects
paid
for
all
.
Tant

But
did
not
the
King
pay
part
of
the
Reckoning
?
Whigg

No
doubt
on
't

King
Edward
1.
made
a
shift
with
much
Bickering
to
rub
through
,
and
come
to
his
Grave
in
Peace
,
dying
on
his
fair
Death
;
but
his
Son
Edw.
2.
that
followed
his
Fathers
steps
when
he
could
or
durst
,
had
not
the
Wit
,
or
else
not
the
Luck
to
manage
the
Feat
so
well
;
(
poor
Rehoboam
!
)
for
he
was
Deposed
by
the
Parliament
,
or
rather
was
perswaded
to
Depose
himself
,
lest
his
Son
also
should
be
Excluded
from
the
Crown
:
(
for
so
they
threatned
,
and
to
make
a
King
of
another
Race
)
Thus
he
lost
his
Kingdom
,
no
Blow
struck
,
no
Battel
Fought
,
done
forcibly
and
yet
without
force
,
violently
and
yet
with
Consent

Tant

Then
surely
he
had
first
lost
the
Hearts
of
his
People
.
Whigg
.
You
may
be
assured
of
it
,
for
(
at
first
)
his
Subjects
refused
to
suffer
him
to
be
Crowned
,
unless
he
would
remove
Gaveston
from
the
Court
and
Kingdom

which
dampt
King

Spirit

especially
many

another
Parliament

Whigg

Ay
,
thou
art
a
good
one
,
but
the
Parliament
(
as
soon
as
they
met
)
drew
Articles
of
their
Grievances
,
which
,
though
seeming
Harsh
to
the
King
,
yet
for
avoiding
further
Inconvenience
,
he
yielded
unto
them
.
Tant

Inconvenience
?
What
Inconvenience
?
they
were
Subjects
and
Christians
in
those
dayes
,
and
had
no
weapons
but
prayers
and
tears
,
which
can
bring
no
great
Inconvenience
,
if
a
man
resolve
to
be
hard-hearted
.
Whig
.
No
,
thou
(
I
believe
)
art
Prayer-proof
;
but
King
Edward
2.
remembred
well
,
that
in
his
stout
Fathers
time
,
the
Parliament
met
at
London
,
Octob.
10.
Non

not
naked
and
unarm'd

but
(
immò

Electorum

with
five
hundred
Horse

vast
number

choice
Foot

Induxerunt

The
Citizens

several

leaguing
solemnly
together

with
the
majority

Inclining

What

No

against
evil
Councellors
that
seduc'd
the
King
against
his
Oath
,
his
Conscience
,
Religion
and
Law
:
And
the
Historian
Hen.
Knighton
gives
the
reason
of
this
general
Confederacy
—
quia
communem
profectum
&
utilitatem
amplectebatur
,
communes
diligebant
eos
fortiter
;
because
the
Conlederates
or
Covenanters
stood
for
the
common
benefit
and
common-weal
,
and
the
Laws
,
therefore
the
People
lov'd
them
mightily
;
and
voluntarily
accompanyed
their
Parliament-men
to
London
with
horse
and
Arms
at
their
own
charge
:
Nay
,
't
is
a
wonder
that
any
man
that
had
an
English
heart
in
his
Belly
could
be
a
fawning
Spaniel-like
Tantivee
;
some
French
Bastard
sure

Tant

But
,
what
said
the
King
to
his
armed
Parliamentarians
?
Whig
.
Said
?
he
did
(
instead
of
saying
any
thing
)
his
duty
,
and
confirmed
their
Charters
and
Liberties
,
so
often
confirmed
and
so
often
wickedly
and
illegally
broken
and
encroach't
upon
:
but
King
Edward
1.
was
loath
to
confirm
their
Charters
,
except
with
this
clause
—
salvo
Jure
Coronae
nostrae
;
saving
the
Rights
of
our
Crown
:
But
,
the
People
would
not
,
by
any
means
,
admit
that
saving
—
and
Exception
;
so
that
the
King
confirm'd
them
as
formerly
;
as
K.
Charles
1.
after
a
long
Tugg
in
the
House
of
Lords
consented
to
the
Petition
of
Right
,
without
the
saving
;
or
leaving
intire
that
Sovereign
power
wherewith
,
&c.
Whereupon
,
—
(
sayes
Mr.
Noy
)
To
adde
a
saving
is
not
safe
:
And
sayes
Mr.
Alford
—
Let
us
look
into
the
Records
,
and
see
what
they
are
;
what
is
Sovereign
power
?
Bodin
saith
,
That
is
free
from
any
condition
,
by
this
we
shall
acknowledge
a
Regal
as
well
as
a
Legal
Power
;
let
us
give
that
to
the
King
that
the
Law
gives
him
and
no
more
:
Tory.
There
spoke
a
Whigg
.
Whigg
.
True
:
(
so
Mr.
Pym
added
)
I
know
how
to
adde
Sovereign
to
his
Person
but
not
to
his
Power
:
Also
,
We
cannot
leave
to
him
a
sovereign
power
:
Also
,
We
never
were
possessed
of
it
:
Tory.
Our
King
(
God
bless
him
)
does
not
pretend
to
absolute
and
arbitrary
Power
.
Whig
.
Sovereign
power
cannot
be
invested
in
any
thing
that
is
not
Omnipotent
.
And
the
great
Oracle
of
the
Law
added
,
that
the
saving
,
or
leaving
intire
the
sovereign
Power
,
&c.
will
overthrow
all
our
Petition
of
Right
;
It
trenches
to
all
the
Parts
of
it
;
It
flyes
at
Loans
,
and
at
the
Oath
,
and
at
Imprisonment
and
Billeting
of
Souldiers
,
This
turns
all
about
again
.
I
know
that
Prerogative
is
part
of
the
Law
,
but
Sovereign
Power
is
no
Parliamentary
word
:
In
my
opinion
,
it
weakens
Magna
Charta
and
all
our
Statutes
,
for
they
are
absolute
without
any
saving
of
Sovereign
Power
;
take
we
heed
what
we
yield
unto
:
Magna
Charta
is
such
a
fellow
that
he
will
have
no
Soveraign
:
I
wonder
this
Soveraign
was
not
in
Magna
Charta
or
the
confirmations
of
it
;
If
we
grant
this
,
by
Implication
we
give
a
Soveraign
power
above
all
these
Laws
,
(
mind
that
;
for
all
Power
and
Liberties
and
Prerogatives
are
bounded
and
limited
by
the
Laws
,
and
though
they
be
great
as
the
Sea
,
yet
have
their
bounds
,
the
Law
saying
,
Hitherto
shalt
thou
go
,
and
no
further
,
and
here
shall
thy
proud
Waves
be
stay'd
;
no
Prerogative
is
infinite
in
England
,
nor
any
power
omnipotent
,
(
except
that
of
God
alone
)
the
Law
limits
and
bounds
us
all
from
the
greatest
to
the
least
.
)
And
therefore
Sir
Eward
Cook
goes
on
,
telling
the
House
;
That
Power
in
Law
is
taken
for
a
power
with
force
;
The
Sheriff
shall
take
the
power
of
the
County
;
what
it
means
here
,
God
only
knows
:
It
is
repugnant
to
our
Petition
(
that
is
,
the
King
shall
not
Billet
Souldiers
,
raise
Money
by
Privy
Seals
,
Loans
,
Imprison
without
cause
in
Law
shewn
,
&c.
saving
by
his
Soveraign
Power
:
)
our
Petition
is
a
Petition
of
Right
,
grounded
on
Acts
of
Parliament
:
Our
Predecessors
would
never
endure
a
Salvo
Jure
suo
,
no
more
than
the
Kings
of
Old
could
endure
for
the
Church
,
Salvo
Honore
Dei
&
Ecclesiae
;
we
must
not
admit
of
it
,
and
to
qualifie
it
,
is
impossible
:
Let
us
hold
our
Priviledges
according
to
the
Law
;
that
Power
that
is
above
this
,
it
is
not
sit
for
the
King
and
People
to
have
it
disputed
further
.
Tant
.
The
Oath
of
Allegiance
binds
us
all
to
maintain
the
Kings
Prerogative
.
Whigg
.
No
doubt
on
't
;
and
let
it
be
for
ever
Sacred
,
let
no
Prophane
Hand
or
Tongue
touch
it
;
no
,
nor
so
much
as
think
upon
it
Irreverently
,
both
it
and
the
Peoples
Liberties
(
as
aforesaid
)
are
vast
and
great
;
but
they
are
not
Infinite
,
they
have
their
known
Bounds
and
ancient
Land-marks
,
and
Cursed
is
that
evil
Councellor
that
makes
such
a
Stir
to
Encroach
or
Remove
them
,
extend
them
or
Stretch
them
,
such
deserve
to
Stretch
for
it
;
For
't
is
certain
that
there
is
no
Soveraign
Power
or
Prerogative
wherewith
any
King
of
England
hath
been
intrusted
either
by
God
or
Man
,
but
what
is
for
Edification
,
not
for
Destruction
;
for
the
Weal
of
his
People
,
and
for
their
Protection
,
Safety
and
Happiness

Our
Gracious
Soveraign
(
in
his
late
Declarations

pretends
to
no
other
Prerogative

what
is
legal

Whigg

All
the
better
for
him

us
,
his
Royal
Father
(
of
Gracious
Memory

seem'd
to
Disgust
his
Lords

as
aforesaid

told
them

that

meant
not
to
shew
the
Power
of

diminishing
their
Priviledges

He
wanted
not
bad
Instillers

Confest
afterwards

The

to
this
sort
some
ascribed
those
words
in
the
Kings
Speech
,
I
owe
the
account
of
my
Actions
to
God

But
as
for
Tunnage
and
Poundage
it
is
a
thing
I
cannot
want
.
Tant

No

why
should
he
?
Whigg

The
matter
of
taking
it
was
not
so
much
the
question
,
as
the
manner
of
taking
it
,
namely
,
taking
it
before
and
without
the
gift
thereof
to
the
King
,
by
them
that
had
the
only
power
to
dispose
thereof

Then
there
was
hard
Measure
to
some
,
as
well
as
hard
Imprisonment
,
if
the
Parliament
had
the
only
power
to
give
Tunnage
and
Poundage
;
for
the
Kings
Commission
to
the
Customers
begins
thus
:
C.

WHereas
the
Lords
of
the
Council
,
taking
into
Consideration
our
Revenue
,
and
finding
that
Tunnage
and
Poundage
is
a
principal
Revenue
of
our
Crown
,
and
has
been
continued
for
these
many
Years
,
have
therefore
Order'd
all
those
Duties
of
Subsidie
,
Custom
and
Import
,
as
they
were
in
the
Twenty
first
of
King
James
,
and
as
they
shall
be
appointed
by
Us
under
our
Seal
,
to
be
Levyed
;
Know
ye
,
that
we
,
by
the
Advice
of
our
Lords
,
Declare
our
Will
,
that
all
those
Duties
be
Levyed
and
Collected
as
they
were
in
the
time
of
our
Father
,
and
in
such
manner
as
we
shall
appoint
;
and
if
any
Person
refuse
to
Pay
,
then
our
Will
is
,
that
the
Lord
Treasurer
shall
Commit
to
Prison
such
,
so
Refusing

'till
they
Conform
themselves

And
we
give
full
Power
to
all
our
Officers
from
time
to
time
to
give
Assistance
to
the
Farmers
of
the
same

as
fully
,
as
when
they
were
Collected
by
Authority
of
Parliament

occasion'd
Debates

ended
in
the
Dissolution
of
that
Parliament

after
which
the
King
call'd
no
more
of
eleven
long
Years

urgent

Why
did
the
Parliament
meddle
with
the
Customers

collected
Customs

Statute
gave
him
Power

do

by
the
Advice

consent

gave

King
the
Subsidy

at
a
very
low

three

proportionably

quantities
greater

this
expir'd

his

great
Disgust

Yes

false

Richard
Chambers
.
Also
he
underwrit
these
Texts
of
Scripture
,
instead
of
Submission
,
namely
,
That
make
a
man
an
Offender
for
a
word
,
and
lay
a
snare
for
him
that
reproveth
in
the
gate
;
and
turn
aside
the
just
for
a
thing
of
nought
.
Wo
to
them
that
devise
Iniquity
,
because
it
is
in
the
Power
of
their
hand
,
and
they
covet
Fields
and
take
them
by
Violence
,
and
Houses
,
and
take
them
away
;
so
they
Oppress
a
man
and
his
house
,
a
man
and
his
heritage
.
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God
,
let
it
suffice
you
,
Oh
Princes
of
Israel
:
Remove
Violence
and
Spoil
,
and
execute
Judgment
and
Justice
,
take
away
your
Exactions
from
my
People

saith
the
Lord
God.
If
thou
seest
the
Oppression
of
the
Poor
,
and
violent
perverting
of
Judgment
and
Justice
in
a
Province

marvel
not

the
matter

But
did
He
that
is
higher
than
the
highest
regard
and
shew
his
Displeasure
in
this
Affair
?
Whigg

It
is
neither
safe

easy
to
unriddle
the

by
Gods
goodness

he
liv'd

be
Sheriff
of
London

and
a
worshipful
Alderman
thereof

but
his
Judges
in
the
Star-Chamber
(
many
of
them
)
did
not
come
to
the
Grave
in
Peace
;
but
went
out
of
the
World
as
naked
as
they
came
into
it
,
stript
of
all
before
they
were
bereav'd
of
Life

yet
the
Lord
Treasurer
Weston
dyed

his
fair
death

flying
beyond
Sea

withall
he
dyed
a
professed

vilely
suspected

and
taken
upon
suspition
for
a
Masquerade
)
Papist

You
Whiggs
thought
him
a
Covert-papist

a
Protestant

he
was
so
preferr'd
at
Court
from
Chancellor
of
the
Exchequer

be

Nor
can
it
surely
be
deny'd

the
Commons
were
so
sensible
of
it

that
they
agreed
upon
this
ensuing
Petition
to
his
Majesty
concerning
Recusants

(
long
before
Weston
grew
so
high
)
in
these
words

Those
last
words

Not
prevalent

for
the
Parliament
was
soon
after
Dissolved

and
the
House
of
Commons
having
Intimation
of
their
intended
Dissolution
made
what
hast
they
could

perfect
a
Remonstrance
or
Declaration
against
the
Duke
of
Buckingham

concerning
Tunnage
and
Poundage

taken
by
the
King
since
his
Fathers
death

were
never
payable

say
in

Remonstrance

his
Majesties
Ancestors

only
by

special
Act

Act.

And
did
the
King
go
on
Collecting

taking
Tunnage

Poundage
notwithstanding

Tory.
Yes

he
said
he
could
not
want
it
;
and
sent
them
a
former
Message

that
if
He
had
not
a
timely
supply
,
He
would
betake
himself
to
New
Councils

New
Councils
,
what
were
they

Tory.
The
Commons
in
their
said
Remonstrance
often
with
thoughtful
Hearts
remember
the
words
—
New-Councils

repeating
,
and
Repeating
them
as
if
they
were
somewhat
against
the
old
Parliamentary
Councils
and
course
of
this
Kingdom
;
and
they
Order'd
every
Member
of
the
House
to
have
a
Copy
of
the
said
Remonstrance
,
for
they
had
not
time
to
Present
it
to
his
Gracious
Majesty
,
but
were
Dissolv'd
,
though
the
Lords
also
prepared
a
Petition
to
stay
the
Kings
purpose

Dissolving

But
the
King
returned
Answer

that
his
Resolution
was
to
hear
no
motion
for
that
purpose
,
but
He
would
Dissolve
the
Parliament

he
was
then
as
good

also
Published
another

Arminian
Controversies

the
effects

that
Proclamation

Article

in
Honour

by
the
Bonds

Memory

his
Deceased
Father

thought
himself

Call
him

so
Daring
an
Insolence

in
applying
a
Plaister
to
the
Kings
breast
against

Will

and
without
the
Advice

and
contrary
to
the
Opinion

attributed
the

No

I
had

promising
in
the
Name
of
the
Kings
Majesty
,
his
Heirs
and
Successors
,
to
repay
the
Money
so
lent
.
Tant
.
Ay
,
when
?
le
ts
hear
that
.
Tory.
Within
eighteen
Months
.
Tant
.
And
was
the
Money
Repayed
?
Tory.
Pish
!
that
's
a
silly
question
;
then
of
the
City
of
London
,
the
King
bid
them
lend
him
a
hundred
thousand
pound
.
Tant
.
Well
said
,
a
few
such
Summs
from
Towns
or
Cities
would
do
the
business
;
but
did
they
lend
the
Money
?
Tory.
No
,
the
City
desir'd
to
be
excused
.
Tant
.
And
what
then
?
Tory.
Then
the
Privy-Councel
required
them
,
all
excuses
set
apart
,
to
return
a
Direct
and
speedy
Answer
to
his
Gracious
Majesty
,
or
in
default
thereof
,
that
his
Majesty
may
frame
his
Councils
as
appertaineth
to
a
King
in
such
extream
and
Important
occasions
.
Tant
.
And
were
they
not
afraid
and
apprehensive
of
the
Innuendo
?
Tory.
The
Commands
rested
not
here
,
for
they
also
commanded
the
City
to
Equippe
twenty
of
their
best
Ships
in
the
River
,
with
all
manner
of
Tackle
,
Sea-stores
and
Ammunition
,
men
and
Victuals
for
three
Months
.
Tant
.
And
did
they
do
it
?
Tory.
They
grumbled
at
it
,
saying
it
was
without
President
;
as
did
also
the
Deputy-Lieutenants
and
Justices
of
Peace
at
Dorset
,
having
received
the
Kings
Commands
for
setting
forth
Ships
from
Pool
,
Weymouth
,
and
Lime
;
but
the
Council
checkt
them
for
daring
to
dispute
Orders
,
instead
of
obeying
them
;
and
whereas
they
mention
presidents
,
they
might
know
that
the
presidents
of
former
times
were
Obedience
,
not
Direction
.
Whigg
.
It
would
puzzle
a
good
Historian
to
find
presidents
of
Obedience
in
England
to
Arbitrary-sway
,
and
Orders
of
Privy-Council
for
Impositions
without
Law
to
back
them
.
Tory.
How
?
Did
not
stout
King
Edward
1.
Command
Roger
Bigot
Earl
of
Norfolk
,
and
Lord
Marshal
of
England
,
and
several
other
Lords
to
go
to
the
Wars
in
Gascoygne
in
France
,
which
they
refusing
,
except
the
King
himself
went
also
in
Person
;
But
the
King
threatned
then
to
take
away
their
Lands
and
their
Lives
;
saying
to
the
Lord
Marshal
,
and
Swearing
—
By
God
,
Sir
Earl
,
you
shall
either
Go
or
Hang.
Whigg
.
Ay
,
but
the
Earl
answered
the
King
at
the
same
moment
,
—
I
Swear
by
the
same
Oath
,
I
will
neither
Go
nor
Hang
,
and
so
without
leave
went
out
of
the
Room
and
departed
;
and
shortly
after
,
he
and
Humphrey
Bohun
Earl
of
Hereford
,
and
other
Lords
and
Noble-men
Assembled
,
and
other
their
Friends
to
the
number
of
thirty
Bannerets
,
one
thousand
five
hundred
men
at
Arms
,
well
appointed
and
stood
upon
their
Guard
;
but
the
King
Dissembled
his
Resentments
at
that
time
,
being
about
to
go
to
Flanders
,
where
he
spent
much
Money
,
and
for
recruit
Summons
a
Parliament
(
to
meet
)
at
York
,
promising
from
thenceforth
never
to
charge
his
Subjects
otherwise
than
by
their
Consents
in
Parliament
,
and
also
to
Pardon
all
such
as
had
denyed
to
attend
him
in
this
Journey
.
Tant
.
And
did
they
trust
the
Kings
word
?
Tory.
Yes
:
but
he
broke
it
and
all
his
other
Oaths
and
Confirmations
of
the
Peoples
Charters
made
in
Parliament
,
two
Years
after
;
having
obtained
and
bought
a
Pardon
for
so
doing
,
(
as
aforesaid
)
of
his
Holiness
;
nay
,
he
begun
to
play
his
Arbitrary
Pranks
long
before
that
,
for
(
in
8
Edw.
1.
)
he
sent
out
his
Writ
of
Quo
Warranto
(
a
fine
Engine
to
get
Money
)
to
examine
by
what
Title
men
held
their
Lands
,
which
upon
flaws
found
in
their
Charters
,
and
pryed
into
by
the
Lawyers
brought
him
in
much
Money
;
'till
John
Earl
of
Warren
stopt
the
Current
and
stem'd
the
Tyde
,
for
calling
upon
him
to
show
his
Title
,
He
drew
out
an
old
rusty
Sword
,
and
said
,
He
held
his
Land
by
that
,
and
by
that
would
hold
it
to
Death
,
and
having
many
Backers
,
it
made
the
King
desist
from
his
Project
.
Tant
.
An
old
rusty
Sword
,
dost
say
?
that
was
more
than
the
old
Christian
Weapons
,
Prayers
and
Tears
.
Tory.
And
stopt
the
Kings
Tyranny
and
lawless
Usurpations
,
more
than
a
thousand
Petitions
,
Prayers
and
Tears
.
Tant
.
Still
I
say
Subjects
,
Christian
Subjects
should
use
no
Weapons
but
Prayers
and
Tears
.
Whigg
.
What
,
not
against
Robbers
,
Thieves
and
Murderers
?
Tant
.
Not
against
Magistrates
that
Rob
by
Law.
Whigg
.
Thou
talk'st
like
an
Asse
every
day
more
than
other
;
Rob
by
Law
?
a
Contradiction
in
terminis
;
if
there
be
Law
for
it
,
it
is
not
Robery
,
Theft
nor
Murder
;
and
if
it
be
against
Law
or
without
Law
,
all
violent
taking
of
mens
Goods
(
one
Subject
from
another
)
is
Theft
and
Robbery
,
except
the
Law
enjoyn
it
,
and
may
lawfully
be
Resisted
,
without
all
doubt
,
in
like
manner
and
with
such
Weapons
as
the
Onset
or
Assault
is
made
.
Tant
.
What
in
an
Officer
,
a
Commission-Officer
?
Whigg
.
No
man
can
be
Authoriz'd
to
do
an
ill
thing
,
or
an
illegal
thing
by
any
mans
Commission
,
much
less
by
the
Kings
Commission
,
or
the
Broad-Seal
,
for
the
King
can
do
no
wrong
;
if
it
be
wrong
,
it
stands
for
nothing
;
it
is
not
the
Kings
act
,
nor
the
Kings
Commission
,
but
Surreptitious
,
and
punishable
.
Tant
.
And
who
shall
Judge
of
its
Legality
,
or
the
legality
of
the
Resistance
?
Whigg
.
The
Judges
,
and
the
Law
,
and
the
Juries
.
Tant
.
Nay
,
then
we
are
well
enough
yet
.
Whigg
.
If
you
be
well
,
keep
you
so
,
whil'st
you
are
well
,
but
remember
Belknap
,
Tresilian
,
&c.
many
Judges
have
been
Hang'd
(
right
,
right
and
good
Reason
)
for
corrupt
and
false
Judgment
,
there
are
they
that
shall
judge
the
Judges
.
Tant
.
Ay
,
but
when
?
at
the
day
of
Judgment
?
Whigg
.
Yes
,
yes
,
no
more
on
't
;
but
this
Doctrine
of
resisting
with
other
Weapons
than
Prayers
and
Tears
,
Force
with
Force
,
Violence
with
Violence
,
in
our
own
just
Defence
,
seems
so
strange
to
the
new
Tantivee-men
,
that
herein
join
with
the
old
Error
of
the
Anabaptists
,
(
condemned
in
the
37
Article
of
the
Church
of
England
)
as
also
the
Family
of
Love
,
who
Condemned
all
Wars
,
as
did
the
Manichees
;
nay
,
the
learned
Ludovicus
Vives
saith
,
Arma
Christianum
Virum
tractare
nescio
an
fas
sit
;
I
know
not
whether
or
no
it
be
lawful
for
a
Christian
to
Fight
at
all
,
or
go
to
the
Wars
,
and
wear
Weapons
;
Lactantius
also
was
against
all
Killing
,
right
and
wrong
,
by
Law
,
or
without
Law
,
by
or
without
the
Magistrate
.
Tant
.
The
Article
you
mention
,
sayes
,
it
is
lawful
to
wear
Weapons
,
and
serve
in
the
Wars
at
the
Command
of
the
Magistrate
.
Whigg
.
Right
,
I
say
no
other
,
the
other
resisting
without
the
Magistrate
,
is
onely
in
a
Christians
own
Defence
,
the
dictates
of
the
Law
of
God
,
the
Law
of
Nature
,
the
Law
of
Wisdom
,
reason
and
Prudence
;
the
Law
that
Worms
and
all
Creatures
have
of
Self-preservation
;
he
's
accessary
to
his
own
Death
,
and
felo
de
se
,
that
resists
not
a
Murtherer
or
a
Robber
.
Tant
.
Ay
,
but
suppose
the
Magistrate
take
your
Goods
violently
against
Law.
Whigg
.
That
also
is
impossible
,
for
as
he
is
a
Magistrate
he
acts
by
Law
,
and
cannot
possibly
Act
as
a
Magistrate
but
by
having
the
Law
on
his
side
;
if
he
has
not
the
Law
to
Vouch
him
,
he
Acts
not
like
a
Magistrate
,
but
as
a
Robber
;
but
this
must
be
certain
,
clear
and
evident
,
otherwise
Resistance
is
a
Sin.
Tant
.
This
is
right
Whiggish
Principles
,
and
Whiggish
Doctrines
,
and
Whiggish
Practices
.
Whigg
.
This
is
the
old
English
Practice
,
and
the
dictates
of
right
Reason
and
the
Law.
Tant
.
Where
did
you
learn
these
Doctrines
?
Whigg
.
I
cannot
well
tell
where
first
I
had
them
,
for
they
are
connate
and
coeval
with
the
reason
of
every
Wise
man
,
and
Good
man
,
but
I
think
I
first
had
them
in
Print
,
out
of
a
Sermon
Preach't
by
one
of
the
Kings
Chaplains
in
Ordinary
,
William
Haywood
D.
D.
Preacht
before
his
Majesty
at
Newport
in
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
during
the
time
of
the
Treaty
there
(
for
Peace
)
betwixt
the
King
(
Charles
1.
)
and
the
Parliament
;
upon
a
suitable
Text
(
Rom.
12.18
.
)
If
it
be
possible
,
as
much
as
lyeth
in
you
,
live
peaceably
with
all
men
:
Where
,
excellently
and
suitably
he
Discourses
of
the
first
words
of
the
Text
;
I
'le
repeat
onely
his
own
words
in
Print
,
in
descant
upon
the
words
—
If
it
be
possible
,
namely
,
(
He
sayes
,
)
A
form
of
Speech
this
is
which
implieth
often
Difficulties
in
the
business
;
and
sometimes
Impossibility
;
difficult
where
the
Parties
to
be
reconciled
are
froward
,
and
self-willed
Enemies
to
Peace
in
Davids
language
.
Impossibility
where
no
Agreement
will
be
had
,
without
loss
of
a
good
Conscience
:
Where
Gods
Honour
,
or
the
administration
of
Justice
,
or
the
discharge
of
our
calling
lieth
at
stake
,
so
that
we
cannot
have
Peace
with
men
,
unless
we
be
irreligious
,
unjust
or
unfaithful
.
In
the
former
case
where
Peace
is
only
difficult
;
that
should
stir
up
our
dilgence
the
rather
;
endeavour
with
so
much
the
more
Patience
and
unwearied
Industry
to
overcome
the
frowardness
of
those
we
have
to
deal
with
;
and
where
so
precious
a
Jewel
as
Peace
is
to
be
compassed
,
with
expence
of
our
labour
or
our
substance
,
there
spare
for
no
cost
or
pains
.
But
where
it
is
impossible
to
a
Servant
of
God
,
where
nothing
will
do
it
but
the
sale
of
a
good
Conscience
,
there
rouse
up
our
courage
,
and
prefer
not
outward
Peace
before
inward
;
mens
contentment
,
or
our
own
temporal
commodity
or
safety
,
before
Gods
Honour
,
our
Souls
quiet
and
the
publick
good
.
But
it
will
here
be
demanded
,
How
we
may
know
when
Peace
is
possible
,
when
not
:
Six
cases
are
mentioned
by
some
Divines
,
ye
may
referr
them
to
the
three
heads
aforenamed
,
of
Religion
,
Justice
,
and
Faithfulness
in
our
calling
.
Of
Religion
first
.
God
himself
(
in
case
his
publick
Worship
be
indangered
)
enjoyns
us
flatly
to
break
the
Peace
.
If
thy
Brother
the
son
of
thy
Mother
,
or
thy
Son
,
or
thy
Daughter
,
or
the
Wife
of
thy
bosom
,
or
thy
friend
,
which
is
as
thine
own
Soul
,
entice
thee
secretly
,
saying
,
Let
us
go
and
Serve
other
Gods
which
thou
shalt
not
know
,
&c.
Thou
shalt
not
consent
unto
him
,
nor
hearken
unto
him
,
neither
shall
thine
eye
pitty
him
:
Thou
shalt
not
spare
,
nor
conceal
him
,
but
thou
shalt
surely
kill
him
,
thy
hand
shall
be
first
upon
him
,
and
afterward
the
hand
of
all
the
People
,
Deut.
13.6
.
Thus
ye
are
to
understand
it
in
case
of
Temptation
to
manifest
Idolatry
,
(
and
Popery
is
clearly
prov'd
to
be
Idolatry
)
Blasphemy
,
Heresie
or
Apostacy
from
the
true
Faith
and
Worship
of
God
:
we
can
have
no
Peace
,
nay
,
we
can
have
no
Mercy
;
we
are
not
allowed
to
spare
and
conceal
the
party
so
tempting
us
,
but
deliver
him
up
to
just
Punishment
,
be
he
never
so
near
,
or
dear
to
us
.
Secondly
,
where
our selves
are
Persecuted
for
Religion
,
or
Vertue
,
or
Obedience
to
Gods
Law
in
any
kind
,
and
there
is
no
way
of
satisfying
our
Persecutors
,
or
delivering
our selves
from
trouble
,
but
by
denying
our
Faith
,
yielding
up
our
Vertue
,
or
violating
our
Obedience
to
Gods
Commandments
.
In
these
two
cases
,
the
one
offensive
,
the
other
defensive
;
for
preservation
of
our
Religion
,
and
our
Duty
to
God
,
no
Peace
possible
.
Two
other
cases
follow
,
which
belong
to
Justice
.
One
where
we
are
passive
,
or
those
who
are
one
with
us
:
and
we
are
violently
assaulted
contrary
to
Law
and
Equity
.
We
may
then
break
the
Peace
for
our
own
Preservation
,
in
defending
our selves
,
so
we
do
it
Cum
moderamine
inculpatae
tutelae
,
go
not
beyond
what
is
needful
to
our
honest
defence
,
or
theirs
who
depend
on
us
,
as
our
Wives
,
Children
or
Family
.
The
like
holds
when
we
are
violently
handled
,
because
we
will
not
joyn
with
others
in
breaking
Peace
,
and
trampling
down
Justice
.
Cast
in
thy
lot
among
us
:
We
will
find
all
precious
substance
,
and
fill
our
Houses
with
spoil
,
Prov.
1.13
.
Thus
where
in
defence
of
Justice
to
our selves
,
and
our
own
private
,
being
Innocent
,
and
against
wrongful
Authority
,
our
Lot
is
to
be
passive
.
Another
case
may
fall
out
,
wherein
it
becomes
us
to
be
active
,
though
our selves
,
in
our
particular
Interest
suffer
not
:
and
that
is
,
where
we
see
our
innocent
neighbours
wrongfully
abused
,
and
distressed
to
extremity
by
lawless
hands
;
we
may
there
rise
up
in
rescue
of
oppressed
Innocence
,
and
do
as
much
in
our
neighbours
case
,
as
we
would
wish
done
in
our
own
.
Thus
Lot
resisted
the
Sodomites
in
behalf
of
the
Angels
whom
they
Invaded
with
violence
:
And
Moses
succoured
the
Israelite
striving
with
the
Egyptian
,
Exod.
2.12
.
And
thus
every
good
man
,
armed
with
wealth
and
power
,
may
,
and
ought
to
stand
up
in
defence
of
the
poor
Widow
and
fatherless
,
against
their
tyrannous
oppressors
.
Nor
are
they
breakers
of
the
Peace
in
so
doing
;
but
these
cruel
grinders
of
the
Poor
whom
they
resist
.
Now
Tantivee
,
what
think
you
of
your
Doctrine
,
that
Christians
may
use
no
other
Weapons
but
Prayers
and
Tears
?
and
what
your
Design
may
be
in
Preaching
up
,
and
every
Sunday
inculcating
such
Crambee
Doctrine
at
this
Juncture
,
I
do
not
know
,
it
looks
like
a
Set-business
:
What
think
you
of
Dalilah's

No

To

parted

endure
a
thousand
Deaths

in
conscious

doleful
regret

the
cowardly
baseness

loss
of
Honour

which
none

the
Son

No

you
Tantivee's

perswade
us
to
bind
our

Hands
'till
our
Throats
be
cut

by
Hectors

against
Law

that
It
is
Divinity
so
to
do
;
I
told
you
before

that
this
was
the
Old
Doctrine
in
Ireland
,
just
before
the
Tory
Cut-throats
basely
Butcher'd
the
Protestants
,
Man

Woman

Child

they
could
come
at

durst
come
at

and
they
came
at
all
,
and
spared
not
Man
,
Woman
nor
Child
,
who
happened
to
be
Armed
with
no
other
Weapons
but
Prayers
and
Tears
;
old
Earl
Warren's
rusty
Sword
was
the
onely
Shelter

Safe-guard
under
God
,
there
is
nothing
else
frights
a
Jesuit
from
a
Massacre
,
but
fear
of
losing
his
own
life
;
but
for
Prayers
and
Tears
,
the
Crocodiles
relent
not
,
though
you
Weep
your
Hearts
out
;
no
,
let
them
once
begin
their
Violence
,
(
which
God
forbid

but
if
they
do
,
he
deserves
to
have
his
Throat
cut
,
and
his
Wife

Children
first
miserably
Butcher'd
before
his

that
so
unmans
himself

the

Prayers
and
Tears

is
that
the
word

Why
,
box
it
about
then
in
every
Tantivee
pulpit
,
and
number
the
Converts
,
and
tell
me
how
many
English-men
(
Protestants

Papists

are
proselyted
to
the
new
Tantivee-doctrine

if
all
the
Papists
in
Christendome

all
the
fierce
Episcopal
or
Presbyterian
Bigots
,
whose
Religion
is
Persecution

Blood

an
inhospitable

think
it
Religion

go
to
Heaven

Plunder

Fine

if
they
will
not
march
along
(
their

and
yet
in
their
publick
Confessions

Articles
of
Faith
,
acknowledge
themselves
fallible
,
and
whether
they
be
right
or
wrong
they
cannot
well
tell
,
to
be
sure
:
Pretty
hearts

all
other
People
must
have
no
other
Christian-weapons

Prayers

they
with
Sword
in

hold
a
Bible

dart

Weeping

Crying

Persecuting

I
grant
some

not
the

the

Thrash
in

the
Cloaks

Pretences

Compassion

this
makes
such
a
jumble
with
their
Practices
,
that
they
Thrash
now
'till
they
Sweat
again

and
are
almost
tired

out

breath

they
cannot
well
tell
what
to
do
for
the
best

which
makes
them
so
various

sometimes
all
Love

Kindness

Charity
and
Indulgence

then
again

at

with
Curses

Into

Invented

destroyes

Transubstantiated

so
devillish
are
all

whereas
Christs
Kingdom
(
the
Gospel

is
not
of
this
World

nor
are
its
Weapons
carnal

Spiritual

if
Christs
Kingdom
were

then
might

A
little
more
of

make
me
perfect

I
think

yet
I
had
rather
hear
more
of
the
History

How
did
the
Loans
thrive
?
when
were
they
repay'd
?
or
,
was
the
Exchequer
shut
up
at
pay-day
?
or
what
became
of
the
Ships
,
and
the
Ship-money
?
Tory.
The
Ships
,
and
Men
,
and
Fleet
,
and
Money
went
the
way
that
a
great
deal
of
English-money
has
gone
since
that
time
,
namely
,
to
France
with
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
;
who
made
a
base
broken
Voyage
of
it
,
and
returned
to
get
Recruits
,
which
the
King
provided
for
him
as
well
as
he
could
;
and
away
then
the
Duke
went
(
for
a
second
Venture
)
towards
the
Isle
of
Rhee
again
;
but
he
got
no
further
onward
his
way
thither
than
Portsmouth
,
for
there
he
was
Stabb'd
by
Lieutenant
Felton
.

Upon
what
Provocation
?
Tory.
I
'le
tell
you
anon

as
for

the
King
Promis'd

this
way
should
not
be
made
a
President
for
the
time
to
come
,
to
charge
them
or
their
Posterity
,
to
the
Prejudice
of
their
Just

Ancient
Liberties

enjoyed
under
his
most
Noble
Progenitors

and
Promising
them
,
In
the
Word

repay
such
Summes

That
is
to
be

never

came

I
am
not

neither
Principal

Nay

Do
not
Swear

I
'le
believe
the

without
Searing

for
Men

Tantivee-principle

put
out
Money
to
Interest

Use

to
the
Ale-house

then

what

thou

To
the
Imposition

the
Burthen
of
Billeting

dishonourable

that
did
not

out

their
Purses

though
many
Felonies
,
Robberies
,
Rapes
and
Murders
were
Committed
by
the
Souldiers
and
Mariners
;
but
they
were
governed
by
Martial-law
;
and
some
were
Executed

but
they
Mastered
the
People

disturbed
the
Peace
of
Families
,
committed
frequent
Rapes
,
Burglaries
and
Robberies
,
Murthers
and
Barbarous
Cruelties

which
made
a
general
Outcry
and
Lamentation
wherever
they
came
:
but
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
(
Sir
Randolph
Crew

lost
his
Place
for
not
favouring
the
Loan

and
in
his
room
succeeded
a
right
Cavalier
,
(
Sir
Nicholas

who
yet
for
his
Abilities

might
without

he
could
not

great
disgust

—
If

Command
any

may
not
Perform

because
't
is
against
the
Laws

Subjects

so
to
yield
a
Passive
Obedience

cannot
exhibit
an

I
know
no
other
Case
but
one
of
these
three
wherein
a

may
excuse
himself
with
Passive
Obedience

in

He
had
forgot
the
Laws

which
all
Kings
are

Sworn
to

for
the
municipal
Laws
are
not

any

those
three

Doctor

he
fisht
for
Preferment
with
two
Sermons

Drill

those
Court-Sermons

Mischief

What
Opinion
had
Archbishop
Abbot
of
Dr.
Laud
?
Tory.
He
soon
found
him
,
and
said
,
his
Life
in
Oxford
was
to
pick
quarrels
in
the
Lectures
of
the
Publick
Readers
,
and
to
give
notice
of
them
to
the
Bishop
of
Durham
,
that
he
might
fill
the
Ears
of
King
James
with
Discontents
,
against
the
honest
men
that
took
Pains
in
their
Places
,
and
settled
the
truth
(
which
he
called
Puritanisme
)
in
their
Auditors
.
It
was
an
Observation
what
a
sweet
man
this
was
like
to
be
,
that
the
first
observable
Act
that
he
did
,
was
the
Marrying
the
Earl
of
D.
to
the
Lady
R
;
when
it
was
notorious
to
the
World
that
she
had
another
Husband
;
King
James
did
for
many
years
take
this
so
ill
,
that
he
would
never
hear
of
any
great
Preferment
of
him
:
The
Bishop
of
Lincoln
,
Doctor
Williams
got
him
at
length
advanc't
to
the
Bishoprick
of
St.
Davids

enjoy'd

Ay

Archbishop
Abbot
(
that
had
woful
cause
to
know
him

gave
this
Character
of
Land
,
that
such
was
his
aspiring
nature
,
That
he
would
underwork
any
man
in
the
World
,
so
that
he
might
gain

it

The
worst
Crime
that
was
laid
to
his

was
the
Countenancing
Arbitrary

illegal
Taxes
recommended

Sybthorp

Manwaring

abetting
these
Sycophants

which
some
call

the

rise

advantage

But
King
James
disown'd
the
Doctor

did
not

therein

Yes

told

used

he
was
a
Tyrant

did
not

calmed

I
do
not
deny
but
the
Bishops
had
great
Sway
and
influence
over
affairs
both
in
Church

State

if
the
Lord
Faukland's
Speech

Calculated

here

Read
it

The
whole
would
be
tedious

I
'le
read
part
of
it

thus
he
begins
—
MAster
Speaker
,
he
is
a
great
stranger
in
Israel
who
knows
not
that
this
Kingdom
hath
long
laboured
under
many
and
great
Oppressions
,
both
in
Religion
and
Liberty
:
and
his
acquaintance
here
is
not
great
,
or
his
ingenuity
less
,
who
doth
not
both
know
and
acknowledge
that
a
great
,
if
not
a
principal
cause
of
both
these
have
been
some
Bishops
and
their
adherents
.
Master
Speaker
,
a
little
search
will
serve
to
find
them
to
have
been
the
Destruction
of
Unity
,
under
pretence
of
Uniformity
,
to
have
brought
in
Superstition
and
Scandal
,
under
the
titles
of
Reverence
and
Decency
;
to
have
defil'd
our
Church
,
by
adorning
our
Churches
;
to
have
slackned
the
strictness
of
that
Union
which
was
formerly
between
us
and
those
of
our
Religion
beyond
the
Sea
;
an
action
as
unpolitick
as
ungodly
.
Master
Speaker
,
we
shall
find
them
to
have
Tith'd
Mint
and
Anise
,
and
have
left
undone
the
weightier
works
of
the
Law
;
to
have
been
less
eager
upon
those
who
damn
our
Church
,
than
upon
those
who
upon
weak
Conscience
,
and
perhaps
as
weak
reasons
(
the
dislike
of
some
commanded
Garment
,
or
some
uncommanded
posture
)
onely
abstained
from
it
.
Nay
,
it
hath
been
more
dangerous
for
men
to
go
to
some
neighbours
Parish
,
when
they
had
no
Sermon
in
their
own
,
than
to
be
obstinate
and
perpetual
Recusants
;
while
Masses
have
been
said
in
security
,
a
Conventicle
hath
been
a
crime
,
and
which
is
yet
more
,
the
conforming
to
Ceremonies
hath
been
more
exacted
than
the
conforming
to
Christianity
;
and
whilest
men
for
Scruples
have
been
undone
,
for
attempts
upon
Sodomy
they
have
onely
been
admonished
.
Master
Speaker
,
we
shall
find
them
to
have
been
like
the
Hen
in
Aesop
,
which
laying
every
day
an
Egg
upon
such
a
proportion
of
Barly
,
her
Mistress
increasing
her
proportion
in
hope
she
would
encrease
her
eggs
,
she
grew
so
sat
upon
that
addition
,
that
she
never
laid
more
:
so
though
at
first
their
Preaching
was
the
occasion
of
their
preferment
,
they
after
made
their
Preferment
the
occasion
of
their
not
Preaching
.
Master
Speaker
,
we
shall
find
them
to
have
resembled
another
Fable
,
the
Dog
in
the
manger
;
to
have
neither
Preached
themselves
,
nor
employ'd
those
that
should
,
nor
suffered
those
that
would
:
to
have
brought
in
Catechising
only
to
thrust
out
Preaching
,
cryed
down
Lectures
by
the
name
of
Factions
,
either
because
their
Industry
in
that
Duty
appeared
a
reproof
to
their
neglect
of
it
,
(
not
unlike
to
that
we
read
of
him
,
who
in
Nero's
time
and
Tacitus
his
story
was
accused
,
because
by
his
Vertue
he
did
appear
Exprobrare
vitia
Principis
)
or
with
intention
to
have
brought
in
darkness
,
that
they
might
the
easier
sowe
their
tares
,
while
it
was
night
;
and
by
that
Introduction
of
Ignorance
,
introduce
the
better
that
Religion
which
accompts
it
the
Mother
of
devotion
.
Master
Speaker
,
in
this
they
have
abused
his
Majesty
,
as
well
as
his
people
,
for
when
they
had
with
great
wisdom
(
since
usually
the
Children
of
darkness
are
wiser
in
their
generation
than
the
Children
of
light
;
I
may
guess
not
without
some
eye
upon
the
most
politick
action
of
the
most
politick
Church
)
silenced
on
both
parts
those
Opinions
which
have
often
tormented
the
Church
,
and
have
,
and
will
alway
trouble
the
Schools
,
they
made
use
of
this
declaration
to
tye
up
one
side
,
and
let
the
other
loose
,
whereas
they
ought
either
in
discretion
to
have
been
equally
restrained
,
or
in
justice
to
have
been
equally
tolerated
.
And
it
is
observable
,
that
that
party
to
which
they
gave
this
License
,
was
that
whose
Doctrine
,
though
it
were
not
contrary
to
Law
,
was
contrary
to
Custom
,
and
for
a
long
while
in
this
Kingdom
was
no
oftner
Preached
than
recanted
.
The
truth
is
,
Master
Speaker
,
that
as
some
ill
Ministers
in
our
State
first
took
away
our
Money
from
us
,
and
after
endeavoured
to
make
our
Money
not
worth
the
taking
,
by
turning
it
into
Brass
by
a
kind
of
Antiphilosophers-stone
;
so
these
men
used
us
in
the
point
of
Preaching
,
first
depressing
it
to
their
power
,
and
next
labouring
to
make
it
such
,
as
the
harm
had
not
been
much
if
it
had
been
depressed
;
the
most
frequent
Subjects
even
in
the
most
sacred
Auditories
,
being
the
Jus
divinum
of
Bishops
and
Tithes
,
the
Sacredness
of
the
Clergy
,
the
Sacriledge
of
Impropriations
,
the
demolishing
of
Puritanism
and
propriety
,
the
building
of
the
Prerogative
at
Pauls
,
the
introduction
of
such
Doctrines
,
as
admitting
them
true
,
the
truth
would
not
recompense
the
scandal
;
or
of
such
as
were
so
far
false
,
that
as
Sir
Thomas
Moore
says
of
the
Casuists
,
their
business
was
not
to
keep
men
from
sinning
,
but
to
inform
them
Quàm
propè
ad
peccatum
sine
peccato
liceat
accedere
:
so
it
seemed
their
work
was
to
try
how
much
of
a
Papist
might
be
brought
in
without
Popery
,
and
to
destroy
as
much
as
they
could
of
the
Gospel
,
without
bringing
themselves
into
danger
of
being
destroyed
by
the
Law.
Master
Speaker
,
to
go
yet
further
,
some
of
them
have
so
industriously
laboured
to
deduce
themselves
from
Rome
,
that
they
have
given
great
suspition
that
in
gratitude
they
desire
to
return
thither
,
or
at
least
to
meet
it
half
way
:
Some
have
evidently
labour'd
to
bring
in
an
English
,
though
not
a
Roman
Popery
:
I
mean
not
only
the
outside
and
dress
of
it
,
but
equally
absolute
;
a
blind
dependance
of
the
People
upon
the
Clergy
,
and
of
the
Clergy
upon
themselves
;
and
have
opposed
the
Papacy
beyond
the
Sea
,
that
they
might
settle
one
beyond
the
water
.
Nay
,
common
Fame
is
more
than
ordinary
false
,
if
none
of
them
have
found
a
way
to
reconcile
the
Opinions
of
Rome
to
the
Preferments
of
England
;
and
be
so
absolutely
,
directly
and
cordially
Papists
,
that
it
is
all
that
fifteen
hundred
pounds
a
year
can
do
to
keep
them
from
confessing
it
.
Master
Speaker
,
I
come
now
to
speak
of
our
Liberties
;
and
considering
the
great
Interest
these
men
have
had
in
our
common
Master
,
and
considering
how
great
a
good
to
us
,
they
might
have
made
that
Interest
in
him
,
if
they
would
have
used
it
to
have
informed
him
of
our
general
Sufferings
;
and
considering
how
little
of
their
freedom
of
Speech
at
Whitehall
might
have
saved
us
a
great
deal
of
the
use
we
have
now
of
it
in
the
Parliament-house
,
their
not
doing
this
alone
were
occasion
enough
for
us
to
accuse
them
as
the
betrayers
,
though
not
as
the
destroyers
of
our
Rights
and
Liberties
:
Though
,
I
confess
,
if
they
had
been
onely
silent
in
this
particular
,
I
had
been
silent
too
;
But
,
alas
,
they
whose
Ancestors
in
the
darkest
times
excommunicated
the
breakers
of
Magna
Charta
,
did
now
by
themselves
,
and
their
adherents
,
both
write
,
preach
,
plot
,
and
act
against
it
,
by
encouraging
Doctor
Beal
,
by
preferring
Doctor
Mannering
,
appearing
forward
for
Monopolies
and
Ship-money
:
and
if
any
were
slow
and
backward
to
comply
,
blasting
both
them
and
their
Preferment
with
utmost
expression
of
their
hatred
,
the
title
of
Puritans
.
Master
Speaker
,
we
shall
find
some
of
them
to
have
labour'd
to
exclude
both
all
persons
and
all
causes
of
the
Clergy
,
from
the
ordinary
Jurisdiction
of
the
temporal
Magistrate
,
and
by
hindring
prohibitions
(
first
by
apparent
power
against
the
Judges
,
and
after
by
secret
agreements
with
them
)
to
have
taken
away
the
only
legal
bound
to
their
arbitrary
power
,
and
made
as
it
were
a
conquest
upon
the
common
Law
of
the
Land
,
which
is
our
common
Inheritance
;
and
after
made
use
of
that
power
to
turn
their
Brethren
out
of
their
Free-holds
,
for
not
doing
that
which
no
Law
of
man
required
them
to
do
;
and
which
(
in
their
Opinions
)
the
Law
of
God
required
of
them
not
to
do
.
We
shall
find
them
in
general
to
have
encouraged
all
the
Clergy
to
suits
,
and
to
have
brought
all
suits
to
the
Council-table
;
that
having
all
power
in
Ecclesiastical
matters
,
they
laboured
for
equal
power
in
Temporal
,
and
to
dispose
as
well
of
every
Office
,
as
of
every
Benefice
,
which
lost
the
Clergy
much
Revenue
,
and
much
reverence
(
whereof
the
last
is
never
given
when
it
is
so
asked
,
)
by
encouraging
them
indiscreetly
to
exact
more
of
both
than
was
due
;
so
that
indeed
the
gain
of
their
greatness
extended
but
to
a
few
of
that
order
,
though
the
envy
extended
upon
all
.
We
shall
find
of
them
to
have
both
kindled
and
blown
the
common
fire
of
both
Nations
,
to
have
both
sent
and
maintained
that
Book
,
of
which
the
Author
no
doubt
hath
long
since
wish'd
with
Nero
,
Vtinam
nescissem

and
of
which
more
than
one
Kingdom
hath
cause
to
wish
,
that
when
he
writ
that
,
he
had
rather
burn'd
a
Library
,
though
of
the
value
of
Ptolomie's
.
We
shall
find
them
to
have
been
the
first
and
principal
cause
of
the
breach
,
I
will
not
say
of
,
but
since
the
Pacification
at
Berwick
.
We
shall
find
them
to
have
been
the
almost
sole
abettors
of
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
whilst
he
was
practising
upon
another
Kingdom
that
manner
of
Government
,
which
he
intended
to
settle
in
this
,
where
he
committed
so
many
,
so
mighty
,
and
so
manifest
Enormities
and
Oppressions
,
as
the
like
have
not
been
Committed
by
any
Governour
in
any
Government
,
since
Verres
left
Sicily
.
And
after
they
had
called
him
over
from
being
Deputy
of
Ireland
,
to
be
in
a
manner
Deputy
of
England
:
All
things
here
being
Govern'd
by
a
Juntillo
,
(
who
dare
say
thus
much
at
this
time
of
day
?
)
and
that
Juntillo
Govern'd
by
him
,
(
And
he
Govern'd
by
I
know
who
)
to
have
assisted
him
in
giving
of
such
Councels
,
and
the
pursuing
of
such
Courses
,
as
it
is
a
hard

measuring
Cast
,
whether
they
were
more
Unwise
,
more
Unjust

or
more
Unfortunate

and
which
had
Infallibly
been
our
Destruction

by
the
Grace
of
God
their
share
had
not
been
as
small
in
the
subtilty
of
Serpents
,
as
in
the
Innocency

Bickering

the

fought

Poor

Were
any
Kings
Fiercer
or
Stouter
than
the
three
first
of
them
?
who
more
Valiant
than
Edward
1.
or
more
Victorious
against
Forreigners
?
and
if
he
were
weak
and
feeble
,
it
was
only
when
the
Head
(
like
Children

swell'd
monstrously

unconscionably

to
the
starving

,
which
cannot
fare
ill
,
but
the
Head
must
ake
for
it
,
and
feel
the
smart
at
long
run
.
Honestly
therefore
(
if
he
could
have
continued
so
)
did
he
answer
the
encroaching
Prelates
,
(
to
whom
he
had
Promis'd
to
give
whatever
they
would
ask
,
and
they
ask't
him
to
Repeal
the
Statute
of
Mortmain
)
The
King
answered
,
that
this
was
a
Statute
made
by
the
whole
Body
of
the
Realm
,
and
therefore
was
not
in
his
Power
,
(
who
was
but
one
Member
of
that
Body
,
)
to
undo
that
which
all
the
Members
together
had
done
.

By
this
Answer

He

When
the
Kings
Subjects
(
in
Edw.
2.
Reign

took
up
Arms
to
remove
evil
Counsellors
from
the
King

the
King
fled
before

at
length
in
hopes
to
preserve
his
Minion

and
the
Instrument
of
his
wickedness
(
Gaveston

lodg'd
him
in
an
impregnable
Hold

Scarborough-Castle
,
which
the
Kings
Subjects
took
,
and
Beheaded
poor
Pierce
Gaveston
;
you
Whiggs
do
not
call
this
Rebellion
.
Whigg
.
Why
?
what
Historian
does
call
it
so
?
I
am
sure
that
great
Loyalist
and
Cavalier
,
Sir
Richard
Baker
,
that
(
throughout
)
writes
,
leaning
on
one
side
,
as
if
he
was
byas't
the
wrong
way
,
does
not
call
it
Rebellion
;
nor
is
the
word
Rebellion
once
mentioned
in
the
late
Act
of
Oblivion
,
after
the
happy
Return
of
his
Gracious
Majesty
:
But
instead
of
calling
it
Rebellion
(
which
old
Hodge
would
have
Eccho'd
and
Mouth'd
twice
in
each
line
)
Sir
Richard
Baker's
note
is
,
—
That
while
the
King
was
altogether
rul'd
by
Gaveston
,
and
Gaveston
himself
was
altogether
irregular
,
the
Common-wealth
could
have
but
little
of
Justice
,
but
was
sure
to
Suffer
,
as
long
as
Gaveston
was
Suffered
;
and
this
may
be
sufficient
to
Justifie
(
mark
that
)
the
Lords
,
that
it
be
not
Interpreted
to
be
Rebellion
,
which
was
indeed
but
Providence
.
After
that
,
the
two
Spencers
were
the
new
Minions
that
trod
in
the
very
steps
of
Gaveston
,
and
Seduc't
the
easie
King
,
Pimps
to
his
Lust
,
for
these
onely
were
his
Favourites
;
whereupon
the
People
rise
,
as
one
man
,
with
the
Earls
of
Hereford
and
Lancaster
;
who
confederating
by
a
solemn
League
and
Covenant
to
live
and
dye
together
in
maintaining
the
Right
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
to
procure
the
Banishment
of
the
two
Spencers
,
the
great
Seducers
of
the
King
,
and
the
Oppressors
of
the
State
;
and
under
this
pretence
they
take
Arms
,
and
coming
armed
to
St.
Albans
,
they
send
to
the
King
(
then
)
at
London
,
requiring
him
as
he
lov'd
the
quiet
of
the
Realm
,
to
rid
his
Court
of
those
two
Traitors
,
the
Spencers
;
Condemn'd
in
many
Articles
of
High
Treason
by

Common-wealth
(
mark

and

Patents

and
Indemnity

By

desire
of

they
tacitly
acknowledg
Guilt

Yes

in
strict
construction

a
Judge

Jury

it
is
not
safe
trusting
you
,
when
necessity
had
forc't
them
to
Courses
that
otherwise
were
Illegal

which
yet
the
Historian
calls
Providence
,
not
Rebellion

But
did
the
King
Pardon
them
?
Whigg

Pardon
them
?
No

I
trow

that
had
been
too
wise
an
Action

for
such
a
weak
Prince
as
was
that
ill-advis'd
King.

But
prythee
what
Answer
did
the
King
give
to
the
bold
Covenanters

He
Swore
he
should
never
Violate
the
Oath
made
at
his
Coronation

by
granting
Letters
of
Pardon
to
such
notorious
Offenders

who
Contemn'd
his
Person

Disturb'd
the
Kingdom

and
Violated
the
Royal
Majesty

Tant

Well
said
,
and
how
did
this
Answer
work
upon
the
armed
Confederates

Whigg

It
exasperated
them
,
and
presently
they
March't
to
London
,
(
the
Citizens
being
their
sure
Friends
)
and
lodged
in
the
Suburbs
,
'till
they
had
leive
of
the
King
to
march
into
the
City
,
where
they
again
more
peremptorily
urge
their
demands

And
what
did
the
King
then
?
why
did
he
not
Hang
them
all
at
Tyburn

Whigg

He
could
not
find
Hangmen
that
would
undertake
so
great
a
work
,
besides
to
Hang
them
all
would
be
a
tedious
long
work

long
a

What
?
did
all
People
hate
him
,

forsake

No

they
all
lov'd
him
so
universally

wisht

well

they
also
desired
he
might

sick

at

But
this
Kings

Truth

went

came

Paroxismes

Consents

expecting

still

but
is
alwayes
in
Motion
and
upon
the
Turn

as
in
this
Kings
Reign
was
frequently
demonstrated
;
for
the
next
year
(
Anno
1322.
)
the
King
defeated
the
Lords
,
and
Beheaded
his
Unkle
the
Earl
of
Lancaster
;
and
four
years
after
the
Parliament
Deposed
King
Edward
,
(
or
rather
)
forc't
him
to
Depose
himself
and
Invest
his
Son
;
which
if
he
refused
,
they
threatned
to
Chuse
a
King
of
another
Race

and
he
was
Killed
soon
after
by
his
Keepers

Gourney

Matrevers

Tarleton
Bishop

Hereford
writing
to
them
to
that
effect
in
doubtful
sence
,
viz.
Edvardum
occidere
nolite

but
they
guess'd
at
his
meaning

for
that
Bishop

Adam
Tarleton
,
had
a
little
before
at
Oxford
Preach't
before
the
Queen

Roger
Mortimer

(
her
bosom
friend

on
this
Text

Caput

My

whence
he
inferred
,
that
the
Kingdom
being
now
deadly
sick
of
its
Head
,
it
was
fit
to
remove
that
Head

put
a
sounder

place

this
was
the
Loyalty
of
your
Bishop

How
did
the
Queen
approve
that
Doctrine
?
Whigg

She
did
not
dislike
it
,
to
be
sure
,
but
her
Minion
(
Roger

like't
it
well
enough
,
as
appeared
afterwards
.
Tant

It
was
an
Impudent
Whores-trick
of
her
;
first
to
make
the
King
a
Cuckold
,
preferring
the
Love
of
Mortimer
;
and
then
to
Vnking
him
by
Deprivation
;
and
then
to
Vnman
him
,
by
Murthering
him
.
Whigg

She
did
not
own
the
Murtherers
that
did
the
Deed.
Tant

But
she
did
not
punish
the
wicked
Bishop
that
Preach't
up
the
King-killing
Doctrine
;
and
who
did
give
the
Murderers
also
Commission
to
do
it
.
Whigg
.
No
,
he
was
her
chief
Favourite-Bishop
,
and
fit
for
her
turn
;
but
such
was
the
general
Hatred
to
King
Edward
2.
that
he
dyed
Vnlamented
,
(
though
(
perhaps
)
not
unpittyed
)
he
had
so
disoblig'd
his
People
by
espousing
two
or
three
unfortunate
Minions
,
and
their
dependants
,
before
and
above
his
peoples
welfare
,
that
ought
to
have
been
his
chiefest
Care.

I
protest

though
,
't
is
hard
measure

first

to
be
made
a
Cuckold

and
then
by
the
same
Engineers
to
be
Depriv'd

Kill'd

what
befell

(
General

Lastly

did

No

I
told

he
was
the
man
that

afterwards
took
more

Well
,
we
have
enough
of
him
;
to
return
to
Archbishop
Abbot
,
who
told
little
Doctor
Land
(
then
Bishop
of
Bath
)
in
a
Conference
with
him
about
Sybthorp's
Sermon
,
(
and
this
Passage
therein
,
viz.
All
Antiquity
to
be
absolutely
for
absolute
Obedience
to
Princes
,
in
all
civil
or
temporal
things
,
)
that
such
Cases
(
as
Naboth's
Vineyard
)
may
fall
within
this
.
Whereupon
the
little-great-man
was
as
a
Man
in
a
Rage
,
and
fell
a
Huffing
,
saying
,
that
it
was
an
odious
Comparison
;
for
it
must
suppose
that
there
must
be
an
Ahab
and
a
Jezabel
,
and
I
cannot
tell
what
Sons
of
Belial
for
false
Witnesses
,
and
a
Judge
for
the
nonce
,
&c.
But
the
Archb
—
told
him
,
that
Reviling
and
Railing
does
not
answer
his
Argument
:
All
Antiquity
taketh
in
Scripture
,
and
if
there
has
been
an
Ahab
,
or
a
Jezabel
,
that
which
has
been
,
is
possible
to
be
again
many
years
hence
;
and
if
(
sayes
Doctor
Abbot
)
I
had
allowed
that
Proposition
for
good
,
I
had
been
justly
beaten
with
my
own
Rod
:
For
,
if
the
King
the
next
day
had
commanded
me
to
send
him
all
the
Money
and
Goods
I
had
,
I
must
by
my
own
Rule
have
obeyed
him
;
and
if
he
had
commanded
the
like
to
all
the
Clergy-men
and
Gentlemen
,
Yeomen
and
Commons
in
England
,
by
Sybthorp's
Proportion

and
my
Lord

have
sent

Nay

It
is
impossible

bad

do
not
stick

the
first

many
times

fawning

So

losing

Some

the
Church

have
said
that
there
is
but
a
very
little
little
difference
betwixt
Popery

us

our
Holy-dayes

our
Service
(
in

theirs
in

but
word

most
parts

our

You
mean
you
cannot
perswade
the
People
to
come
to
Auricular-Confession

but
for
the
real
presence
many
Preach
it
up
,
but
by
a
distinction
Metaphysical

(
a
distinction
without
a
difference

they
only
deny
the
corporal
presence

So

then
you
'l
say
we
differ
therein
from
the
Papists
only
in
nice
words

terms
of
distinction

Whigg

If
it
be
more
than
words
wherein
you
differ
in
this
point

that
thing
you
bow

the
Altar

really
nothing

if
it
be

it
is

the
other

turn

And
you
are
either
a
fool

bowing

nothing

a
Papist

bowing
to
some
real
thing

takes
up
its
Lodging

Far
be
it
from
me

say
so

but
between
some
of
the
Priests

Bishops
of
the
two
Religions

there
has
scarce
gone
so
much

(
as
the
Lord
Faulkland
said

It
is
all
that
a
good
Living

1500
l
per
annum
can
do
,
to
keep
some
of
them
from
declaring
themselves
openly

be
Papists

these
Fellowes
never
speak
of
the
worst

the
darkest

the
blackest
,
the
bloodyest
Superstition
in
the
World
,
under
the
known
name
of
Popery
,
Papists

&c.
but
(
mildly
and
gently
)
they
only
call
it
the
Church
of
Rome
,
the
Catholicks
,
&c.
and
if
sometimes
they
call
them
Romanists
and
Roman
Catholicks
,
they
think
(
if
it
were
overheard
)
all
hopes
of
further
Preferment
is
almost
defunct
;
as
if
Roman
was
a
needless
Epithite
,
and
as
if
none
were
Catholicks
in
the
World
but
only
that
barbarous
and
bloody
Sect
,
because
(
like
the
Devil
in

their

is
Legion

for
that
they

many

(
more

yet

blessed

if
you
go
to
tell
Noses
in
Europe

or
all
the

Protestants
are
the
major
part

as
well
as
the
better
part

though
you
throw
to
the

side
all
our
Tantivees
into
the
bargain

Come

Rome
loses

what

But
what
the
Chaplain
(
upon
second
thoughts

would
not
do
,
his
Master
(
the
Bishop
of
London

did

Licensing

the
good

being
not
willing

any

stick
with

that
came
recommended

From

it

I
commend
him
,
the

Bishop
also
Licensed
a
Book
,
called
The
Seven
Sacraments
,
with
all
its
Errors
,
made
by
Doctor
Cosens
,
Bishop
Laud's
Confident
,
and
yet
neither
he
nor
any
of
them
did
ever
declare
themselves
to
be
Papists
openly

Whigg

No

no

I
know
it
,
they
were
the
wiser
;
neither
did
Mountague
,
whom
they
all
upheld
and
advanc'd
,
and
yet
he
made
the
Church
of
England
a
Schismatick
;
if
the
Church
of
Rome
be
a
true
Church
,
and
alwayes
kept
the
Faith
,
as
Mountague
asserts
,
and
the
said
Bishops
did
abett
him
,
and
Preferr'd
him
,
and
so
did
the
D.
of
Buckingham
,
magnifying
him
as
a
well
Deserving
man
;
and
when
the
King
(
Charles
1.
)
was
Marryed
to
his
Queen
,
(
a
Daughter
of
France
,
)
Letters
were
sent
to
the
High
Commission-Court
and
other
Courts
,
to
suspend
and
take
off
all
Execution
of
the
Laws
against
Papists
;
then
by
Proclamation
(
upon
the
Parliaments
Remonstrance
)
a
quite
contrary
Command
was
published
under
the
broad
Seal
of
England
;
and
after
the
Parliament
was
Dissolved
,
then
all
the
Popish-Priests
,
fourteen
or
fifteen
at
a
time
,
are
set
at
Liberty
again
:
such
great
variation
of
the
Compass
was
found
in
the
same
Climat
and
Longitude
;
sometimes
the
Laws
being
put
in
Execution
at
a
force-put
,
and
then
again
slackning
the
Reins
and
following
natural
inclination

What
Opinion
had
Archbishop
Abbot
of
those
times
and
those
Transactions
?
Whigg
.
When
the
allowance
of
Sybthorp's
Pamphlet
was
put
upon
him
,
he
said
,
He
had
some
reason
out
of
the
grounds
of
that
Sermon
,
that
the
Duke
had
a
Purpose
to
turn
upside
down
the
Laws
,
and
the
whole
Fundamental
Courses
and
Liberties
of
the
Subject
,
and
to
leave
us
not
under
the
Statutes
and
Customs
which
our
Progenitors
enjoyed
,
but
to
the
pleasure
of
Princes
.
Tant

That
is
brave
,
it
is
al-a-mode
d'
France
;
but
when
the
Duke
was
Stabb'd
,
did
the
same
Arbitrary
Courses
go
on
?
Whigg
.
Yes
,
Loans
and
Monopolies
,
Privy
Seals
and
such
Projects
were
continued
,
and
some
say
the
Earl
of
Strafford
begun
to
assess
Souldiers
upon
the
People
that
would
not
pay
his
Arbitrary
demands
in
Ireland
,
chiefly
to
make
way
the
better
for
the
like
Project
other-where
;
yet
he
was
a
wise
man
,
and
a
right
Englishman
(
once
)
'till
he
became
infected
afterwards
with
Ambition
and
Court
,
the
fate
and
occasion
of
the
Ruine
of
Bishop
Laud
as
well
as
of
him
,
and
of
one
more
of
more
worth
than
both
of
them
:
Besides
—
(
Said
the
Archbishop
Abbot
)
Now
it
came
in
my
heart
,
that
I
was
present
at
the
Kings
Coronation
,
where
many
things
on
the
Princes
part
were
,
solemnly
Promised
,
which
being
observed
would
keep
all
in
order
,
and
the
King
should
have
a
loving
and
gracious
People
,
and
the
Commons
a
kind
and
gracious
King
:
But
I
am
loth
to
plunge
my self
over
head
and
ears
in
these
difficulties
,
(
the
Loans
,
&c.
)
that
I
can
neither
live
with
quietness
of
Conscience
,
nor
depart
out
of
the
World
with
good
Fame
and
Estimation
:
And
perhaps
my
Soveraign
if
he
looked
well
into
this
Paradox
,
would
of
all
the
World
hate
me
,
because
one
of
my
Profession
,
Age
and
Calling
would
deceive
him
,
and
with
base
Flattery
swerve
from
the
Truth
.
Tant
.
Then
you
think
that
the
Kings
Minions
(
Buckingham
,
Laud
and
Strafford
)
were
the
Kings
greatest
Enemies
,
and
that
of
all
the
World
he
had
most
Cause
to
hate
them
.
Whigg
.
No
doubt
on
't
,
if
their
Councels
came
out
of
their
own
Heads
,
or
was
not
rather
Instill'd
and
put
into
their
Heads
,
by
—
I
know
who
—
Tory.
Oh!
I
apprehend
you

Whigg

But
whether
it
be
the
Devil
or
man
that
possesseth
men
with
evil

the
Sinners
that
received
the
Temptation
,
(
the
Baits
of
Ambition
and
Avarice
)
as
they
are
Instruments
of
wonderful
Mischief

Blood

ought
to
pay

Strafford

Laud
lost
their
Heads
on
Tower-hill
,
and
Buckingham
was
Stabb'd
at
Portsmouth
by
Felton
,
(
you
said
;
)
But
you
did
not
tell
me
what
mov'd
him
to
this
bloody
Fact.
Whigg

Felton
neither
fled
for
it
,
nor
denyed
the
Deed
,
but
said
he
Killed
him
for
the
Cause
of
God
and
his
Countrey
;
and
when
it
was
replyed
,
that
the
Surgeons
said
there
might
be
hopes
of
his
Life
,
Felton
answered
and
said
,
It
is
impossible
,
I
had
the
force
of
forty
men
assisted
by
him
that
guarded
my
Hand
:
that
he
did
not
kill
him
for
any
private
Interest
whatsoever
,
that
the
late
Remonstrance
of
Parliament
published
the
Duke
so
odious
,
that
he
appeared
to
him
deserving
Death
,
which
no
Justice
durst
Execute
.
Tant

But
(
we
say
)
seldom
comes
a
better
.
Whigg

Nay
,
there
was
not
much
to
choose
,
for
the
same
Councils
were
still
carryed
on
,
so
that
the
Duke
was
not
look't
upon
as
the
Original
,
but
rather
an
Instrument
to
execute
Perplext
Counsels
;
and
when
he
was
Kill'd
there
wanted
not
others
that
would
venture
in
his
room
,
though
all
History
tells
us
,
those
little
by-wayes
and
illegal
wayes
prove
as
fatal
now
a-dayes
as
of
old
,
(
in
the
dayes
of
Gaveston
and
the
two
Spencers
,
Suffolk
,
&c.
)
There
was
a
Paper
found
tack't
in
the
Crown
of
Mr.
Felton's
Hat
,
which
was
to
show
that
his
Conscience
was
satisfyed
in
the
Fact
,
and
that
he
was
therewith
well
pleased
,
lest
he
had
been
presently
hewed
in
Pieces
without
Opportunity
to
tell
the
World
so
much
;
but
by
the
Pious
endeavours
of
some
men
,
he
was
brought
to
some
Remorse
,
and
to
acknowledge
the
Fact
damnable
without
Gods
great
Mercy
;
but
denyed
that
the
Puritans
or
any
other
set
him
on
,
or
knew
of
his
Purpose
:
but
Bishop
Laud
told
him
,
if
he
would
not
Confess
who
set
him
on
,
that
he
must
go
to
the
Rack
;
he
replyed
,
he
knew
not
whom
he
might
Accuse
,
perhaps
Bishop
Laud
or
any
other
in
that
Torture
;
and
the
Judges
agreed
—
that
by
Law
he
could
not
be
Rack't
nor
Tortured
;
but
Felton
proffer'd
his
Hand
to
be
cut
off
,
which
the
King
desired
might
be
done
,
but
the
Judges
said
it
could
not
be
by
Law
,
but
after
he
was
dead
,
he
was
Hang'd
in
Chains
.
Tant

But
who
got

Duke's
Place
?

Places
(
you
should
say
)
for
many
were
enrich't
by
this
single
Wrack

yet
after
the
Duke's
Death
the
King
seem'd
to
take
none
into
favour
so
much
as
Doctor
Land
,
(
then
Bishop
of
London
)
and
Sequestrator
of
the
Profits
of
the
Archbishoprick
of
Canterbury

Dr.
Abbot

dead

four
years
after
he
really
dyes

to
the
desir'd
Advancement

Dr.
Laud

Archbishoprick

having
long
waited
for

happy
hour

it
came

But
was
Tunnage
and
Poundage
continued
without
Authority
of
Parliament

Yes

Mr.

his
Goods
to
the
value
of
5000

was
seized
for
a
pretended
Duty
of
200
l
Custom

the
like
Seizure
on
the
Goods
of
Mr.
Vassall
,
Mr.
Rolls
,
and
many
others
;
and
the
Attorney
General
exhibited
an
Information
against
Mr.
Samuel
Vassal
,
seting
forth
that
King
James
did
by
his
Letters
Pattents
,
command
the
taking
the
said
Customs

and
that
his
Majesty
,
(
Charles
1.

by
the
advice
of
the
Privy
Councel
,
did
declare
his
will
and
pleasure
,
for
the
said
Subsidies
,
Customs
,
&c.
until
it
might
receive
a
settling
by
Parliament

What
did
Mr.
Vassal
Plead
to
this
?
Whigg

He
Pleaded
Magna
Charta
and
the
Statute
De
Tallageo
non
Concedendo
,
&c.
to
which
Plea
the
Attorney
General
Demurred
in
Law
,
and
the
Barous
of
the
Exchequer
did
absolutely
deny
to
hear
Mr.
Vassals
Council
to
argue
for
him
.
Tant

That
was
brave
upon
our
side

Whigg

And
yet
the
King
in
his
Speech
to
both
Houses
in
the
Banqueting-house
confess
't
he
did
not
challenge
Tunnage
and
Poundage
as
of
right
.
Tant

If
not
of
right
,
how
then
?
Whigg

De
bene

and
of
necessity

because
he
could
not
want
it

stay
till
the
Par
〈…〉

minded
to
give
it
him

That
is
a
mighty
pretty
reason

in
justification
;
when
12
years
together
he
call'd
no
Parliament

And
soon
after
the
King
sent
a
Message
to
the
House
of
Commons
speedily
to
take
Tunnage
and
Poundage
into
consideration
.
Tant

And
how
did
the
Commons
like
that
Message
?
Whigg

They
were
disgusted
that
the
Bill
should
be
Imposed
upon
them
,
which
ought
naturally
to
arise
from
themselves
,
impowering
a
Committee
to
examine
the
violation
of
Liberty
and
Property
since
the
last
Session
of
Parliament
,
and
then
resolv'd
in
the
next
place
to
proceed
in
matters
of
Religion
,
and
particularly
against
the
Sect
of
Arminians
.
And
(
sayes
Mr.
Pym
)
two
Diseases
there
be
(
Mr.
Speaker
)
the
one
Old

the
other
New
,
the
old
,
Popery
,
the
new
,
Arminianism
.
Concerning
Popery
three
things
to
be
enquired
:
1.
The
Cessation
of
the
Execution
of
the
Laws
against
Papists
.
2.
How
the
Papists
have
been
employed
and
countenanced
in
great
places
of
trust
.
3.
The
Law
violated
(
mark
that

Parson

)
in
bringing
of
Superstitious
Ceremonies
amongst
us
,
as
at
Durham

Crucifixes
,
Saints
,
Altars
,
Candles
on
Candlemas-day
burnt
in
the
Church
after
the
Popish
manner

That
was
only
because
—
since
the
Papists
would
not
meet
us
,
we
would
try
how
far
we
can
go
towards
Rome
and
yet
be

some

some

out-live

then
it
was
Damn'd

the
King
found
it
necessary
to
call
another
Parliament
,
which
met
November
3.
1640.
and
did
the
strange
things
you
have
heard
.

Sure
the

were
mad

stark
mad

Did
not
Addresses
come
from
all
parts
to
thank
the
King
for
Dissolving
the
Parliaments
so
fast
?
Whigg
.
No
such
matter
,
for
the
people
were
so
enraged
when
the
Parliament
was
Dissolved
1628.
(
attributing
it
to
the
D.
of
Buckingham
)
that
they
would
ordinarily
utter
these
words
:
Let
Charles
and
George
do
what
they
can
,
The
Duke
shall
dye
like
Doctor
Lamb.
Tant
.
How
dyed
Doctor
Lamb
?
Whigg
.
The
Boyes
,
ordinary
People
and
the
Rabble
beat
him
and
bruised
him
,
and
left
him
for
dead
,
falling
on
him
as
he
walk't
through
the
Old-Jury
,
calling
him
the
Duke's
Conjurer
.
Tant

But
when
the
Duke
was
Stabb'd
,
who
did
they
blame
for
the
Dissolution
of
the
Parliament
?
Whigg
.
Who
?
who
but
the
powerful
men
at
Court
?
especially
Bishop
Laud
,
some
few
dayes
after
two
Libels
being
found
in
the
Dean
of
Paul's
Yard
to
this
effect
;
Laud
,
look
to
thy self
,
be
assured
thy
Life
is
sought
,
as
thou
art
the
Fountain
of
Wickedness
,
repent
of
thy
monstrous
Sins
before
thou
be
taken
out
of
the
World
,
and
assure
thy self
,
neither
God
nor
the
World
can
endure
such
a
vile
Councellor
or
Whisperer
to
live
.
The
other

as
bad

the
Lord
Treasurer
Weston

But
Bishop
Laud
dyed

It
is
better
to
be

Chief

the
Clergy
of

chief
Favourite
Also

than
to
be
the
Second

and
he
very
fairly
refused
a
Cardinal's
cap
which
was
proffer'd
him
:
and
I
believe
he
was
no
more
a
Papist
(
in
heart
)
than
I
am
;
what
he
did
in
complyance
with
Popery

Popish
Ceremonies
,
was
only
in
complacence
to
—
you

The

You
think
the
Laws
are
the
onely
as
well
as
the
best
Boundaries
to
keep
King
and
People
within
their
just
limits
and
duty
.
Whigg
.
Right
:
The
Rules
of
Justice
or
the
Laws
are
the
Hercules
Pillars
,
or
the
nè
plus
ultra
,
to
King
and
People
;
to
the
Kings
Prerogative
,
and
the
Peoples
Liberties
;
as
they
are
the
Hercules
Pillars
,
so
they
are
the
Pillar
to
every
Hercules
,
to
every
Prince
;
which
if
he
pass
,
he
goes
into
the
vast
Ocean

the
Lord
knowes
whither
;
for
no
body
knowes
what
will
be
the
End
and
Issue
of
such
dismal
wandring

Therefore
the
old
Rule
of
Law
is
—
Solum
Rex
hoc
non
potest
facere
,
quod
non
potest
justè
agere

The
King
can
do
nothing
but
what
he
can
Legally
do

Therefore
Antiochus

his
Letters

the

this

Ay

but
it
was
advised

that
the
Calling

a
Parliament
:
(
being
pleasing
to
the
People
and
obliging
)
should
be
given
out
to
be
at
the
motion
of
Buckingham

Ay

Ay

But
when
it
was
Dissolv'd
,
the
King
did
it
in
his
own
Person
;
as
well
as
by
his
Prerogative
:
But
has
the
King
such
a
Prerogative
to
Adjourn
,
Hold
,
and
Dissolve
Parliaments
at
pleasure
?
Whig
.
King
Charles
often
told
the
Parliament
so
,
saying
,
as
before
,
in
pag.
23.
Remember
that
Parliaments
are
altogether
in
my
Power
,
for
their
Calling
,
Sitting
and
Dissolution
;
therefore
as
I
find
the
fruits
of
them
good
or
Evil
,
they
are
to
continue
or
not
to
be
.
Tory.
By
his
Prerogative
,
the
Law
of
Parliaments
is
wholly
at
the
Kings
Will
,
and
in
his
breast
;
For
grievances
intoiierable
(
as
aforesaid
)
many
and
great
,
in
false
Imprisonment
,
false
Seizures
,
false
Subsidies
,
all
illegal
were
yearly
and
daily
inflicted
in
the
Kings
Name
,
and
by
his
Authority
upon
the
Bodies
and
Estates
of
the
King's
Subjects
,
no
man
was
sure
of
holding
either
liberty
or
property
longer
than
the
good
pleasure
;
these
grievances
were
contrary
to
Law
,
Equity
,
Justice
,
Equity
,
Reason
,
and
the
Stipulation
Oath
and
Acts
:
these
grievances
ought
not
to
have
been
;
or
,
if
by
evil
Councellours
,
and
evil
Ministers
,
and
wicked
men
they
happened
,
the
King
ought
to
have
remedied
and
redrest
them
,
instead
of
abetting
and
defending
the
Oppressors
of
his
Subjects
,
and
the
violators
of
those
Laws
,
that
he
was
sworn
to
uphold
and
obey
;
and
ought
to
have
lookt
upon
these
Vsurpations
of
his
Subjects
Rights
,
and
the
Vsurpers
as
the
greatest
Enemies
of
his
Throne
,
which
(
Solomon
says
)
is
only
established
by
Justice
;
not
by
Pilling
and
Polling
,
Robbing
or
Defrauding
the
harmless
People
.
And
the
King
should
have
look't
upon
the
Parliament
(
that
desired
to
redress
the
Grievances
and
to
cure
these
griefes
and
distempers
of
the
State
)
as
his
best
Friends
,
and
should
have
blest
God
that
he
had
a
Prerogative
to
Call
them
and
keep
them
together
for
so
blessed
a
work
;
and
not
to
threaten
to
Dissolve
them
;
if
they
will
not
give
him
more
Money
,
and
if
they
will
not
forbear
to
punish
those
grand
Delinquents
that
had
so
shamefully
abused
the
King
,
by
abusing
his
Subjects
,
his
Justice
,
his
Oath
,
his
Royal
Word
,
and
Promises
,
his
Conscience
and
his
Laws
.
Tory.
Bracton
says
,
that
although
the
Common
Law
doth
allow
many
Prerogatives
to
the
King
,
yet
it
doth
not
allow
any
that
he
shall
wrong
or
Hurt
any
by
his
Prerogative
.
Tant
.
By
that
Rule
a
King
has
no
Prerogative
(
it
seems
)
to
Dissolve
a
Parliament
for
medling
with
Redress
of
Grievances
,
or
the
punishment
of
the
Evil
Instruments
and
Ministers
that
caus'd
or
councell'd
them
.
Whig
.
I
will
not
be
so
bold
to
define
the
Kings
Prerogative
,
(
let
it
be
for
ever
Sacred
)
otherwise
than
as
we
describe
Divinity
;
(
Negatively
)
rather
telling
what
it
is
not
,
than
what
it
is
.
First
,
The
King
has
no
Prerogative
to
hurt
himself
,
or
his
People
,
nor
yet
to
break
his
Laws
,
or
dispense
with
a
Statute
,
nor
to
violate
his
Conscience
,
his
Word
,
nor
his
Oath
.
For
Rex
merito
debet
retribuere
legi
quia
lex
tribuit
ei
,
facit
enim
lex
,
quod
ipse
sit
Rex
,
says
Bracton
:
The
King
may
well
give
the
Law
its
free
course
,
due
unto
it
,
because
the
Law
gives
him
his
due
:
For
the
Law
makes
him
(
what
he
is
)
a
King.
Rex
enim
,
a
bene
Regendo
:
The
King
is
so
called
from
Ruling
well
,
but
he
is
called
a
Tyrant
that
Oppresses
.
Secondly
,
The
Kings
Oath
is
not
only
to
Rule
according
to
Law
,
but
to
make
new
,
and
abrogate
old
Laws
,
which
cannot
be
without
a
Parliament
;
therefore
Parliament
;
therefore
Parliaments
are
a
Fundamental
and
Vital
part
,
and
constitution
of
the
Government
.
Thirdly
,
If
a
King
can
chuse
whether
he
will
Call
a
Parliament
at
all
,
except
once
in
three
years
,
and
then
send
them
Home
and
Dissolve
them
,
as
he
list
and
when
he
list
,
without
Redress
of
Grievances
;
then
the
fundamental
Constitution
and
Law
of
the
Government
must
be
Lame
and
Imperfect
:
For
,
at
this
rate
,
the
Prince
and
his
Ministers
may
do
what
they
list
,
and
impune
make
their
Wills
a
Law
:
But
it
is
impossible
that
a
Government
(
so
wisely
Constituted
as
ours
is
)
should
be
so
lame
,
imperfect
and
deficient
,
as
not
to
make
Provision
for
its
own
Being
and
Subsistance
in
the
Fundamentals
:
This
therefore
is
provided
for
in
the
very
Essence
of
the
Government
(
which
we
may
call
the
Common-Law
)
which
is
of
more
value
than
any
Statute
;
and
of
which
Magna
Charta
and
other
Statutes
are
but
Declaratory
.
Fourthly
,
Tho'
the
King
is
Trusted
with
the
formal
part
of
Summoning
and
pronouncing
the
Dissolution
of
Parliaments
,
yet
the
Law
which
obliges
both
him
and
us
,
has
determined
and
ascertained
how
and
when
he
shall
do
it
.
Tant
.
Ay
,
(
marry
)
Whigg
!
now
you
come
close
,
let
us
hear
that
.
Whig
.
I
'le
prove
it
clearly
and
evidently
by
Common-Law
and
Statute-Law
,
Reason
and
Equity
;
and
these
four
do
guide
or
should
guide
all
the
Benches
in
Westminster-Hall
.
Tory.
If
you
can
do
this
,
it
will
prove
very
Beneficial
to
all
;
for
I
observ'd
that
,
in
the
late
Civil
Wars
,
the
cause
of
the
great
Bloodshed
was
the
difference
betwixt
the
Kings
Prerogative
and
the
Peoples
Liberties
;
which
could
not
be
decided
,
(
it
seems
)
but
by
the
Sword.
Whig
.
It
is
better
far
to
decide
the
difference
with
a
Pen
;
but
indeed
the
Kings
Prerogative
and
the
Peoples
Liberties
never
clash
,
but
there
is
a
sweet
Harmony
betwixt
them
,
one
with
another
,
one
supporting
and
upholding
another
,
not
destroying
and
ruining
one
another
;
as
some
Juncto
Councils
would
make
them
.
Tory.
We
(
Tories
)
Fought
for
the
Prerogative
Royal.
Whig
.
Then
you
Fought
for
you
did
not
know
what
.
Tory.
Yes
,
the
Loans
,
Privy-Seals
,
Tunnage
and
Poundage
,
Ship-Money
,
&c.
and
Seizures
and
Imprisonment
(
thereupon
)
were
all
against
Law
,
Law
,
and
against
the
Peoples
Liberties
and
Properties
,
but
the
King
did
act
by
his
Royal
Prerogative
,
and
so
took
the
Goods
and
Imprisoned
the
Gentlemen
that
refus'd
;
by
Prerogative
.
Whig
.
The
King
has
no
Prerogative
wrongfully
to
Imprison
or
take
mens
Goods
:
to
Imprison
men
,
is
a
work
for
the
Kings
Ministers
of
Justice
,
but
below
the
Grandeur
of
Royal
Majesty
to
do
it
,
or
,
to
give
order
for
it
,
other
than
that
as
all
the
Execution
of
the
Kings
Laws
is
to
be
done
in
his
Name
,
though
he
personally
know
nothing
of
the
matter

And
if
the
King
ore
tenus
,
or
in
writing
,
command
John
a
Nokes
to
Imprison
John
a
Styles
,
without
mentioning
any
cause
in
Law

(
or
breach
of
some
Law
that
requires
Imprisonment
;
an
Action
of
false
Imprisonment
lyes
against
John
a
Nokes

and
he
shall
not
be
suffered
(
in
his
excuse
and
justification
)
to
plead
—
speciale
mandatum
Regis
,
that
the
King
Commanded
it
;
but
must
set
forth
some
other
special
matter
;
for
if
that
might
be
admitted
,
the
King
,
who
cannot
with
a
word
take
away
my
Pence
,
my
Horse
,
nor
my
Asse
;
yet
he
might
destroy
with
a
Breath
(
that
which
is
much
Dearer
to
me
)
my
Liberty

Tory.
You
speak
Reason
,
and
Law
too
;
but
may
not
the
King
Invade
his
Subjects
Liberties
and
Properties
,
in
Cases
of
Necessity
,
by
his
Royal
Prerogative
?
Whig
.
Pish
;
The
Favourites
(
Buckingham
and
Laud
,
&c.
)
as
you
have
heard
before
destroyed
the
Kings
Fleet
,
consumed
the
Kings
Men
and
Money
,
Ships
and
Ammunition
,
by
Senseless
and
Vnhappy
Expeditions
,
and
sometimes
by
Lending
them
to
France
,
in
a
time
when
we
had
more
need
to
Borrow
,
and
by
such
Whimzees
(
but
the
Parliament
gave
it
a
worse
name
,
calling
them
,
Treasons
)
they
reduc'd
the
King
and
Kingdom
into
great
Straits
,
weakness
and
necessities
(
which
was
the
design
of
the
Popish
Plot
,
the
Favourites
were
only
the
Instruments
,
and
perhaps
saw
not
what
they
did
)
But
they
did
so
many
Irrational
,
Senseless
and
Destructive
Acts
,
that
almost
all
lay
at
Stake
(
as
you
have
heard
)
and
was
just
upon
the
go
:
What
must
be
done
?
That
was
the
Question
,
in
these
Necessities
and
Straits
?
To
call
a
Parliament
,
was
the
proper
,
natural
,
true
,
certain
,
and
only
English
Remedy
.
Tory.
Ay
,
so
it
was
;
I
must
needs
say
.
Whig
.
Well
,
and
so
the
King
found
(
too
late
)
but
the
Minions
had
done
such
unanswerable
things
,
that
in
all
their
Consultations
they
did
(
as
all
Private
Councellors
do
)
stear
their
course
with
an
Eye
and
main
respect
to
their
own
particular
Safeties
and
welfare
,
and
not
to
the
general
good
,
welfare
and
Salvation
of
the
Ship
of
the
Commonwealth
,
that
they
guided
,
at
the
Helm
;
and
they
were
so
Conscious
of
their
own
wickedness
;
that
the
Earl
of
Strafford
(
very
prudently
foreseeing
his
own
destruction
when
the
Parliament
was
called
)
humbly
craves
excuse
from
attending
it
,
chusing
rather
to
stay
with
his
Army
in
the
North.
Tory.
He
had
nothing
else
to
trust
to
but
an
Army
and
Force
;
for
by
Force
and
an
Army
he
Ruled
in
Ireland
,
and
nothing
but
the
same
methods
could
possibly
preserve
him
,
nor
(
indeed
)
any
Tyranny
and
Oppression
.
Whig
.
True
,
Violence
only
can
justify
Violence
;
not
could
his
sins
be
safe
but
by
attempting
greater
;
yet
,
he
had
something
else
to
Trust
to
besides
an
Army
.
Tant
.
What
,
I
pray
?
let
me
hear
that
.
Whig
.
The
Royal
Word
,
and
the
Promise
of
a
King
,
who
,
to
perswade
him
to
come
to
the
Parliament
,
(
besides
the
Peremptory
Command
that
would
take
no
denyal
or
excuse
,
but
come
he
must
)
the
King
engaging
and
promising
,
that
as
he
was
King
of
England
,
he
was
able
to
secure
him
from
any
danger
,
and
that
the
Parliament
should
not
touch
one
Hair
of
his
Head.
Tant
.
But
they
did
reach
every
Hair
of
his
Head
,
and
the
Head
also
,
the
King
also
Passing
the
Bill
:
But
what
said
the
Earl
when
he
first
heard
that
the
King
had
past
the
Bill
against
him
;
as
in
a
Complemental
Letter
he
gave
him
leave
.
Whig
.
He
held
up
his
Hands
,
(
as
Coleman
did
at
the
Gallows
when
he
saw
he
must
go
to
it
,
not
using
the
very
words
that
Coleman
did
,
There
is
no
Truth
in
men
,
but
)
to
the
same
Tune
,
lift
up
his
Eyes
to
Heaven
,
and
laying
his
Hand
on
his
Heart
,
said
,
—
Put
not
you
Trust
in
Princes
,
nor
in
the
Sons
of
men
,
for
in
them
there
is
no
Salvation
.
Tant
.
Ay
,
Coleman
indeed
was
left
in
the
Lurch
,
some
thought
by
his
last
words
.
And
thus
,
the
Devil
Huggs
the
Witch
;
But
,
at
the
Gallows
,
leaves
the
Wretch
,
To
the
Embrace
of
Squire
Ketch
;
Laughing
when
her
Neck
does
Stretch
,
That
he
her
Soul
to
Hell
may
Fetch
.
Tory.
But
what
said
King
Charles
in
his
own
excuse
?
For
giving
up
Strafford
contrary
to
Promise
?
Whig
.
He
was
Sorry
for
it
,
but
it
could
not
be
help'd
,
it
was
so
lately
done
;
but
the
King
(
nevertheless
)
sent
a
Letter
by
the
Prince
to
the
Lords
,
written
with
his
own
Hands
,
Intreating
them
that
they
would
Confer
with
the
House
of
Commons
to
spate
the
Life
of
the
Earl
,
and
that
it
would
be
a
high
Contentment
to
him
.
Tant
.
And
what
did
the
Lords
thereupon
?
Whig
.
Just
nothing
at
all
,
as
to
sparing
his
Life
;
but
so
confirm'd
the
King
,
that
he
said
also
Fiat
Justitia
:
But
the
King
in
a
Speech
(
a
little
before
)
he
Signed
the
Bill
of
Attainder
against
the
Earl
,
told
both
the
Houses
of
Parliament
;
that
in
Conscience
he
could
not
Condemn
the
Earl
of
High
Treason
,
that
he
Answered
for
,
as
to
the
most
of
the
main
particulars
of
the
Charge
against
him
.
Tory.
Ay
,
ay
,
the
Earl
did
not
,
durst
not
have
attempted
such
things
as
he
did
,
if
some
body
had
not
been
privy
to
it
besides
himself
.
Whig
.
The
King
also
told
the
two
Houses
,
(
at
the
same
time
,
)
that
neither
Fear
,
nor
any
other
respect
should
make
him
go
against
his
Conscience
.
Tant
.
But
it
seems
his
Royal
Resolution
was
Changeable
.
Whig
.
Yes
,
and
yet
he
was
naturally
constant
to
his
Opinions
,
and
Tenacious
of
them
,
some
thought
even
to
Offence
sometimes
:
But
the
Crimes
against
the
Earl's
Arbitrary
Government
,
Arbitrary
Sway
,
Arbitrary
Councels
,
Arbitrary
Force
,
Arbitrary
Taxes
,
and
Ruling
by
an
Army
,
and
making
his
Will
his
Law
was
so
Apparent
,
that
the
fault
mustly
upon
some
body
,
and
upon
whom
more
fit
,
than
upon
such
an
evil
Instrument
,
and
evil
Councellor
,
as
Strafford
was
,
whom
the
very
King
himself
could
not
deny
to
be
guilty
(
as
he
publickly
acknowledged
to
both
Houses
in
his
Speech
aforesaid
)
of
such
Misdemeanors
,
that
he
thought
the
Earl
not
fit
to
serve
him
or
the
Commonwealth
,
in
any
place
of
Trust
,
no
not
so
much
as
a
Constable
;
and
concluded
his
said
Letter
,
with
these
words
:
If
no
less
than
his
Life
can
satisfie
my
people
,
I
must
say
—
Fiat
Justitia
;
which
words
he
repeated
,
when
the
Lords
in
Answer
to
his
Majesties
said
Letter
,
denyed
to
spare
his
Life
,
as
unsafe
for
the
King
and
Royal
Family
.
Tory.
I
am
clear
too
of
Opinion
,
that
either
the
King
was
privy
to
his
Misdemeanors
before
that
time
(
as
the
King
intimated
as
aforesaid
)
or
else
he
and
all
other
Kings
may
think
the
better
of
Parliaments
as
long
as
they
live
,
for
representing
men
in
their
true
colours
,
and
letting
them
see
that
the
Persons
and
chief
Favourites
,
Admirals
and
Generals
of
their
Armies
,
and
when
they
trust
(
as
King
Charles
did
Strafford
)
with
the
management
of
their
chief
Affairs
,
are
really
and
truly
such
wretches
,
that
they
are
not
fit
for
the
meanest
Trust
,
no
,
not
so
much
as
worthy
to
be
Petty
Constable
.
Whig
.
That
Dilemma
is
unanswerable
.
Tant
.
But
,
Prythee
,
(
Whigg
!
)
what
Opinion
had
men
,
in
those
days
,
of
the
Court
,
as
to
Arbitrary
Government
,
Popery
,
or
Affection
to
Popery
?
Whig
.
Men
strangely
differ'd
in
Opinion
(
in
those
days
as
now
)
which
bred
that
great
difference
amongst
men
,
as
(
it
seems
)
was
not
to
be
decided
without
Blood
,
great
unnatural
,
and
uncivil
Bloodshed
.
Tory.
We
,
(
that
were
Cavaliers
,
)
believed
the
King
,
when
he
took
the
Sacrament
upon
it
,
and
pass'd
so
many
Acts
of
Parliaments
against
Popery
and
Papists
,
and
promis'd
to
proceed
Vigorously
against
Papists
;
and
that
he
also
did
abhor
the
Thoughts
of
Arbitrary
Government
:
Really
we
believ'd
so
many
Oathes
,
Sacraments
,
Vowes
,
and
Royal
Words
and
Promises
,
publick
and
private
Declarations
and
Proclamations
.
Whig
.
Ay
,
ay
,
so
you
did
;
we
Whiggs
,
too
have
a
great
deal
of
Faith
,
if
we
let
upon
a
belief
,
we
will
not
to
our
own
Eyes
give
Credit
;
we
are
for
Implicite
Faith
sometimes
,
as
well
as
you
.
Tory.
Well
,
but
Answer
to
the
purpose
was
not
the
King
counted
a
Gracious
good
King
?
Whig
.
Yes
,
all
Kings
are
called
so
,
especially
whilst
they
Live
and
to
their
Heads
;
for
a
King
can
do
no
wrong
:
And
all
men
acknowledged
that
King
Charles
I.
of
his
own
Natural
Temper
was
inclined
to
Goodness
,
and
Mercy
,
and
Justice
,
and
Righteousness
;
and
the
keeping
of
Faith
with
men
,
and
observing
his
Word
,
fulfilling
his
Promises
,
and
keeping
stedfast
to
Religion
;
and
therefore
,
they
think
that
he
knew
nothing
of
the
matter
,
when
Popish-Books
,
or
Books
in
Favour
of
Popery
,
(
as
Mountagues
Book
aforesaid
)
and
the
Authors
of
such
Books
;
and
the
Books
for
Arbitrary
Government
,
and
the
Authors
of
them
(
Sybthorp
aud
Manwaring
)
were
the
men
and
the
Books
,
the
Tenents
,
Doctrines
and
Opinions
that
were
prefer'd
,
advanc'd
,
extoll'd
,
cry'd
up
and
Countenanc'd
at
Court
above
all
other
men
and
Books
,
were
really
Orthodox
,
and
according
to
Law
;
nay
,
some
think
the
King
knew
not
that
Mountague
and
Manwaring
were
not
only
Pardon'd
but
made
Bishops
;
since
the
Parliament
had
judg'd
them
unmeet
for
their
demerits
(
which
no
man
in
England
durst
publickly
own
or
vindicate
to
this
day
)
and
vile
wretchedness
and
false
Doctrines
,
to
be
uncapable
of
the
meanest
Benefices
;
yet
these
must
be
the
chief
Shepheards
,
the
Flocks
were
like
to
be
well
govern'd
;
and
Bishop
Land
that
abetted
and
Countenanc'd
the
said
Authors
and
Books
,
Licensed
their
false
Doctrines
,
and
impure
as
well
as
Illegal
Principles
,
and
got
their
Books
Licensed
,
was
made
Archbishop
,
and
who
but
he
?
with
the
King
and
Court
?
The
King
knew
nothing
of
all
this
,
nor
that
Papists
(
great
Papists
)
were
put
into
Commission
all
the
Kingdom
over
;
nor
,
that
Arbitrary
Government
in
Loanes
,
Knighthood-Money
,
Tunnage
and
Poundage
,
Ship-Money
,
Assessing
and
Billeting
of
Souldiers
,
&c.
The
King
knew
nothing
of
all
this
;
these
were
Deeds
,
Deeds
,
not
Words
;
Deeds
that
made
the
Kingdom
groan
,
Deeds
that
Affrighted
the
Parliament
and
the
Kings
best
Subjects
with
too
much
cause
of
Jealousies
and
Fears
of
Popery
and
Arbitrary
Government
,
when
it
was
really
practic'd
in
so
many
particulars
,
and
the
Councellors
and
Favorites
that
abetted
the
same
,
the
only
men
in
Favour
;
and
nothing
was
said
against
them
in
Parliament
,
but
it
prov'd
the
ruine
of
the
men
,
though
Parliament-men
,
that
might
Parler

ment

speak
their
minds
freely
,
and
lawfully

and
also
prov'd
to
be
the
Dissolution

those
Parliaments

'till
the
Kings
Necessities
and
Straits
were
so
great
,
and
the
Dissolutions
so
frequent
,
and
on
the
strange
occasions
aforesaid
,
that
the
Parliament
would
do
nothing
,
'till
the
King
not
only
had
Promis'd
(
but
had
granted
it
by
Statute
)
that
they
should
not
be
Dissolv'd
but
by
their
own
Consent

Tory.
It
is
the
greatest
wonder
in
the
world
to
me
that
any
King
should
Dissolve
a
Parliament
but
by
their
own
Consent
,
or
'till
all
Grievances
be
Redress'd
;
for
the
King
is
Pater
Patriae
the
Father
of
the
Country
,
and
what
an
odd
Humour
is
it
,
if
a
Father
that
has
a
Child
or
Children
,
troubled
with
griefs
or
Grievances
,
and
had
a
Prerogative
that
could
but
would
not
remedy
them
;
nay
,
nor
suffer
them
that
would
remedy
his
Children
;
is
this
Father
like
?
or
like
something
else
?
The
King
is
the
chief
Shepheard
of
his
People
,
his
Flock
;
but
what
an
odd
humour
is
it
,
if
a
Shepheard
,
when
he
sees
Doggs
and
Wolves
tear
and
rend
his
Sheep
,
shall
neither
(
according
to
the
duty
of
his
place
)
deliver
his
Sheep
out
of
their
Jaws
;
nor
yet
suffer
others
to
do
it
;
but
,
contrarily
,
side
with
the
Doggs
,
and
defend
the
Worried
Sheep
?
much
more
,
if
he
see
the
Currs
on
,
worse
,
if
he
shall
go
Snips
in
the
Booty
and
Prey

I
am
glad

But
all

any
thing

this
excuse
the
Favourites

Necessity

the
Kings

(
indeed
)
ought
not
to
be
done
by

Whig
.
Necessity
?
Pish
!
this
excuse
aggravates
their
Offence
;
for
thus
they
dispute
in
a
Carcle
,
and
justify
their
wickedness
by
greater
,
by
links
and
chains
of
evil
consequences
;
First
,
the
Kings
Affairs
by
their
Evil
Councel
and
Managements
is
brought
into
Straits
and
Necessities
,
the
effect
of
them
,
then
these
evil
effects
are
made
the
Cause
of
the
continuance
of
worse
effects

World
without

But
,
thank
God
for
a
Parliament
;
The
Pretence
of
this
same
Whimzey
,
(
Necessity

hath
ruin'd
the
Liberties
and
Properties
of
the
French-men
in
Normandy
to
this

For
they
were
ruled
(
once

by
as
good

as
we
are
;
but
being
opprest
with
some
Grievances
,
contrary
to
their
Charters
,
Customs
and
Franchises

they
made
their
Complaint
to

that

sit

How

sit

all

not

determined
by

though
some
Acts
of

are
purely
Arbitrary
to
adorn

For
if
that
did
,
all
our
other

are
nothing
worth

but
at
the
good
pleasure
of
the

Arbitrarily

For

for

their
Transgressions

none
can
call

at

none

And
if

can
stave
off

and
Dissolve
it
at

,
we
hold
all
our
other

which
they
have
often
oppress'd

invaded

aforesaid

call'd
them
to
a
Reckoning
and
Account
for
their
Roguery

and
worse

them
off

Here
the
Remedy
(

You
see
,
as
aforesaid
,
in
King
Charles

his
Speeches

his

,
&c.
Still
he
inculcates
,
and
bids
them
remember
that
the
Calling

Adjourning
,
Prorogueing

I
believe
,
you
mistake
,
for
the
Houses
usually
(
if
not
always
)
do
Adjourn
themselves
,
but
they
are
Prorogued
,
and
Called
,
and
Dissolved
by
the
King
;
so
all
Criminals
,
(
or
so
suspected
)
are
Indicted
by
the
King
;
that
is
,
in
the
Kings
Name
;
but
the
Law
directs
it
both
how
and
wherefore

Tory.
So
you
would
say
,
the
Law
directs
the
formal
part
also
of
Calling
and
Dissolving
of
Parliaments
to
be
by
the
King
,
in
His
Name
,
but
the
wherefore
,
or
cause
of
Calling
and
Dissolving
Parliaments
is
limited
and
determined
by
the
Law
,
and
the
time
of
Intervals
which
the
King
cannot
pass
,
or
dispute
with
.
Whig

Yes
surely
,
or
else
the
great
foundation
of
our

(
Parliaments
)
the
banks
that
limit
and
bound
the
out-ragious
swellings

Arbitrary

unlimited

be
strangely
deficient

not
providing

all
I

is
only
as
an
Historian

a

summary
Collection
of

have
done

said
as
to
these
particulars
in

Reign
of

to
rub
up

my
brief
Notes

not
to
tell
you
any

you
have

with

Tant

Well
said
,
I
like
that
very
well
,
for
I
have
not
much
(
of
either
)
to
spare
;
but
first
(
say
)
what
the
Common
Law
enjoynes
as
to
the
Holding
or
Dissolving
Parliaments
?
Whig
.
Few
know
what
the
Common
Law
is
:
Coke
says
,
it
is
founded
in
the
Immutable
Law
and
Light
of
Nature
,
agreeable
to
the
Law
of
God
,
requiring
Order
,
Government
,
Subjection
and
Protection
;
containing
Ancient
usages
,
warranted
by
Holy
Scripture
,
and
because
it
is
generally
given
to
all
,
King
and
People
,
Poor
and
Rich
,
Lords
and
Commons
,
it
is
therefore
called
Common
.
Now
(
consider
)
that
never
any
King
of
England
had
any
Prerogative
,
but
what
the
Common-Law
or
Statute-Law
gives
them
,
nor
any
Liberty
or
Priviledge
but
by
Law
:
The
Prerogative
is
a
Royal
Priviledge
(
Privilegio
(
quasi
)
privatae
Leges
)
Priviledges
are
Private
Laws
,
which
always
yields
to
the
Common-Law
,
Common-weal
,
and
Common-Benefit
:
The
King
has
no
Priviledge
or
Prerogative
contrary
to
the
Publick-weal
,
Order
,
Government
and
Protection
of
the
People
:
Apply
this
,
to
the
question
in
hand
concerning
Holding
or
Dissolving
of
Parliaments
.
And
therefore
in
the
Mirror
of
Justice
,
a
Book
so
commended
by
the
Lord
Coke
,
that
he
saith
it
contains
the
whole
Frame
of
the
Ancient
Common-Laws
of
this
Realm
from
the
time
of

No

But
what
says
the
Lord
Coke
,
the
Laws
Oracle
and
Apollo
,
concerning
the
said
Statute
of
King
Alfred
?
Whig
.
He
saith
,
that
the
threefold
end
of
this
Great
and
Honourable
Assembly
of
Estates
is
there
declared
.
First
,
That
the
Subjects
might
be
kept
from
offending
,
that
is
,
that
Offences
might
be
prevented
,
both
by
good
and
provident
Laws
,
and
by
the
due
Execution
thereof
.
Secondly
,
That
men
might
live
safely
and
in
quiet
.
Thirdly
,
That
all
men
might
receive
Justice
by
certain
Laws
and
Holy
Judgments
,
that
is
,
to
the
end
that
Justice
might
be
the
better
Administred
,
that
Questions
and
Defects
of
Law
might
by
the
High-Court
of
Parliament
be
planed
,
reduced
to
certainty
and
adjudged
,
&c.
In

Si

and
most
useful
of
all
the
rest
,
frequent
and
uninterrupted
Sessions
of
Parliament
,
without
which
the
Liberties
and
Franchises
have
been
and
may
be
taken
away
remedilesly
.
By
the
Canon
Law
,
Children
born
before
Marriage
Solemnized
,
were
Legitimate
,
if
Matrimony
afterwards
followed
;
which
is
contrary
to
our
Common
Law
:
This
was
William
the
Conqueror's
Case
,
who
is
said
to
be
the
Son
of
a
—
Arlot
,
so
notorious
that
all
Whores
are
since
called
Harlots
,
for
her
sake
,
yet
William
of
Malmesbury
says
,
that
Robert
Duke
of
Normandy
(
his
reputed
Father
)
did
after
William
was
Born
Marry
his
Mother
Arlot
,
which
did
Legitimate
William
by
the
Canon
Law
,
but
it
reaches
not
England
:
For
in
the
like
Case
,
when
the
Bishops
would
have
ruled
it
according
to
the
Papal
Decree
,
Omnes
Comites
&
Barones
una
voce
respondement
,
quod
nolunt
leges
Anglicae
mutare
;
All
the
rest
of
the
Lords
,
Earls
and
Barons
with
one
voice
cryed
out
—
We
will
not
change
the
Laws
of
England
(
accounted
)
the
wisest
Laws
in
the
World
;
but
they
must
be
the
weakest
and
most
deficient
,
if
it
be
Arbitrary
whether
Parliaments
(
a
Fundamental
Constitution
)
may
or
may
not
have
a
Being
;
or
only
be
born
to
die
,
namely
,
only
to
be
called
together
that
they
may
be
Dissolv'd
:
Therefore
even
the
late
Act
for
holding
Parliaments
once
in
three
years
or
oftner
,
if
need
be
,
made
by
that
Parliament
,
(
that
from
the
numerous
Pentioners
therein
is
commonly
(
but
Improperly
)
called
for
distinction
the
Pentioners
Parliament
)
amongst
the
many
precious
Statutes
they
made
,
take
care
and
provide
that
Parliaments
shall
not
only
be
called
,
but
sit
and
be
held
;
or
else
of
what
use
is
this
Soveraign
Remedy
,
if
it
be
not
made
use
of
?
It
would
be
a
Mock-Remedy
and
Mock-Parliament
,
if
it
only
be
call'd
together
to
be
Dissolv'd
:
This
would
defeat
the
very
Letter
of
the
Law
,
as
well
as
the
true
intent
,
meaning
and
benefit
thereof
.
For
if
a
Gracious
and
good
King
(
as
King
Charles
I.
is
reported
to
be
)
had
such
Horrible
Oppressions
and
Violence
committed
in
his
Reign
,
as
Loanes
,
Ship-money
,
Illegal
Seizures
of
mens
Estates
,
Liberties
,
Free-quarter
,
Coat
and
Conduct-money
,
and
False
Imprisonment
,
during
his
Reign
,
contrary
to
Law
,
(
as
he
acknowledged
by
after
Statutes
that
condemned
them
:
)
If
Papists
were
prefer'd
to
Offices
of
great
Trust
Military
and
Civil
;
and
if
his
Favorite
the
Earl
of
Strafford
raised
an
Army
of
Papists
,
8000.
and
ruled
by
them
,
committed
such
Hainous
Enormities
and
Misdeeds
that
he
was
not
fit
to
be
a
Puny
Constable
;
and
committed
such
Tyrannies
and
Cruelties
that
no
Record
can
parallel
:
And
if
no
remedy
was
found
to
these
mischiefs
but
a
Parliament
,
and
that
not
suffered
to
be
for
12
long
years
together
:
Oh
Fruitless
Remedy
of
a
Parliament
!
Oh
dull
and
Improvident
Ancestors
!
That
were
wise
above
all
the
World
to
make
good
Laws
for
securing
our
Liberties
and
Properties
,
(
of
which
they
were
Tenacious
to
the
death
)
And
yet
,
that
the
Law
,
that
secures
these
,
should
not
be
able
to
secure
it self
,
but
to
grant
a
Prerogative
to
make
all
null
and
void
at
pleasure
!
If
such
mischiefs
happened
during
the
Reign
of
a
Gracious
King
,
what
may
not
happen
,
in
a
Reign
less
Gracious
?
Penelope's
Webb
(
which
she
weav'd

might
be
a
Fable
,
but
this
the
moral
of
it
;
that
our
Laws
(
which
our
wise
Ancestors
had
been
long
contriving
to
save
us
from
Arbitrary
sway
)
should
all
be
unravell'd
again
,

leave

by
a
Prerogative
(
of
which

Author
)

meer
good
will

pleasure

I
must
needs
say
,
that
the
Law
(
which
should
be
Wise
,
Holy
and
Good
)
would
be
the
Strangest
Law
in
the
World
,
if
it
should
give
a
Prerogative
to
destroy
it self
,
and
so
become
felo
de

it
s
own
Executioner
;
having
so
carefully
fenc'd
against
Arbitrary
sway
in
all
Ages
,
and
so
Industriously
and
zealously
too
have
our
Ancestors
stood
up
for
the
same
to
the
last
drop
of
their
Bloods
;
as
chusing
rather
to
leave
us
no
Lands

,
Priviledges
,
and
Fields
,
rather
than
Akeldama's

as
one
calls
them
)

such

we
must
(
like
them
)
be
forc'd
to
Fight

their
Defence

against
Arbitrary
Projects

There
needs
no
Fighting
for
them
,
if
we
make
the
good
Old
Laws
the
Arbitrator
of
the
Good
Old
Cause
:
For
the
Law
alone
gives
the
King
his
due
,
and
his
Subjects
their
due
;
but
,
because
men
naturally
encline
to
do
what
they
list
without
controul
,
wonder
not
,
if
even
the
best
of
Kings
,
(
surrounded
with
so
many
Parasites
and
pimping
Sycophants
)
have
been
tempted
to
rule

(

Check-mate

Why
?
Has
Parliaments
then
been
as
Old
a
Constitution
as
Kings
of
England
?
Whig
.
Yes
,
for
ought
can
be
known
to
the
contrary
:
The
said
Famous
Old
Book
(
the
said
Mirrour
of
Justice
)
shows
;
that
Parliaments
were
before
a
single
King
Ruled
England
;
namely
,
during
the
Heptarchy
,
when
there
were
seven
Kings
(
rather
than
fail
)
to
rule
England
.
Tant
.
I
shall
never
have
enow
of
Kings
,
I
do
so
love
them
.
Whig

Ay
,
but
seven
Kings
were
accounted
more
than
enough
;
and
after
the
Heptarchy
,
when
the
King
of
the
West-Saxons
,
(
namely
Cornwall
,
Devonshire
,
Dor
setshire
,
Sommer
setshire
,
Wiltshire
,
Hampshire
and
Barkshire
)
had
swallowed
up
all
the
rest
,
Parliaments
still
were
,
or
Senates
(
as
,
long
before
this
,
during
the
Reign
of
the
Senate
and
Caesars
of
Rome
here
in
England
.
)
So
also
(
after
Egbert
)
when
the
Bishop
of
Winchester
(
Ethelwolph
his
Eldest
Son
)
with
much
ado
,
was
perswaded
to
leave
his
Bishoprick
and
a
Religious
Life
,
for
a
Kingdom
,
after
he
had
purchas'd
a
Pardon
from
the
Pope
,
for
breaking
his
Religious
Vow
.
And
,
yet
he
had
much
ado
to
keep
his
Crown
upon
his
head
for
breaking
but
one
poor
Law
;
for
,
if
he
had
not
(
by
death
)
timely
death
,
cheated
his
Lords
,
they
had
certainly
Depos'd
him
,
for
placing
his
Queen
in
a
Chair
of
State
;
which
was
(
then
)
contrary
to
Law
,
made
ever
since
Queen
Ethelburg
by
chance
Poison'd
her
Husband
King
Birthrick
,
by
a
Venemous
Potion
which
(
she
said
at
least
)
she
had
prepared
for
another
;
but
,
being
a
Handsome
Whore
,
she
fled
into
France
,
'till
by
frequent
Adulteries
,
she
died
.
Miserably
,
and
like
a
Rotten
Whore
,
and
for
her
sake
,
the
West-Saxons
ordained
(
whence
,
Note
,
they
were
Law-makers
in
these
days
)
a
Law
,
that
no
Kings
Wife
should
hereafter
have
the
Title
or
Majesty
of
a
Queen
,
which
Law
(
as
aforesaid
)
King
Ethelwolph
being
so
bold
as
to
dispense
with
,
and
break
,
the
Lords
would
certainly
have
Depos'd
him
,
but
that
his
Grave
prevented
them
.

Then
(

it
was
not
safe
for

break
Laws
in
those
days

thought
Universities
had

What
could

and
the

nine
hundred
years

in

without
an

Yea

so
it
seems
,
without
either
Oxford-Scholar

Bloxford-Schollar

or

Alas

alas

Universities
were
(

To

King
Edward
as
Stout
a

as
his

not

for

This
Old
Fundamental
frame
continued
in
the
Reigns
of
Athelstone
,
Edgar
,
Ethelred
,
Canutus
,
Harold
,
William
the
Conqueror
,
&c.
So
that
Parliaments
are
part
of
the
Frame
of
the
Common-Law
,
which
no
Kings
can
defeat
,
frustrate
or
make
void
;
nor
did
ever
any
attempt
the
same
,
but
it
proved
Fatal
to
him
;
nay
,
proved
to
be
his
ruine
:
Witness
all
the
Unhappy
Reigns
,
and
Violent
Deaths
of
English
Kings
that
have
broke
loose
,
and
made
Rapes
and
violent
attempts
upon
the
known
,
Chast
,
and
Sacred
Laws
of
England
;
the
Common-Law
to
King
and
People
,
fram'd
in
the
Law
and
Light
of
Nature
,
Right
Reason
,
and
Holy-Writ

Secondly
,
According
to
the
said
Law
made
in
the
Reign
of
King
Alfred
,
Parliaments
are
to
Sit
frequently
(
Right
and
good
Reason
:
)
I
do
not
say
,
as
often
as
you
take
Physick
,
(
Spring
and
Fall
at
least
;
)
but
however
so
often
as
the
Noxious
Humours
abound
(
above
the
Boundaries
,
Banks
and
Limits
of
the
Law
)
and
offend
our
Liberties
,
Charters
,
Rights
and
Properties
.
Thirdly
,
By
the
said
Law
the
place
of
Meeting
then
was
London

Perhaps
Westminster
and
the
Banquetting-house
were
not

Parliaments
then
being
so
Ancient

(
no

so
Ancient

the
Lord
Coke
having
trac'd
them
from
the
Brittains
,
Saxons
,

,

to
our

I
wonder
what
Tantivees
dares
(
as
Sybthorp
and
Bishop
Manwaring
,
&c.
)
attempt
thus
to
divide
,
separate
and
make
null
and
void
,
two
of
the
three
Estates
of
this
Realm
,
the
Lords
and
Commons
;
to
leave
us
but
one
Estate
,
(
a
King
)
in
use
,
and
de
facto
;
whilst
the
the
other
two
,
the
great
and
main
Body
have
no
Subsistance
,
but
de
Jure
;
stand
useless
and
for
nothing

years
together

always
when
there
is
most
need
of
them
too

If
ever
any
Head
liv'd
well
without
the
Body

give
me
but
one
Instance

Tant

This
makes
me
think
of
the
Fable
,
when
the
Head
and
Hand
joyn'd
together
to
pull
the
Gutts
out
;
for
(
quoth
the
Head
)
I
plod
for
all
;
and
we
(
quoth
Toryhands
and
Feet
)
have
Fought
and
Wrought
for
the
Head
as
it
annuated
and
directed
,
and
yet
the
(
Whiggish
)
Gutts
devour
all
the
good
Victuals
;
wherefore
it
was
agreed
,
with
joynt-forces
to
tear
the
Gutts
a
pieces
;
little
considering
,
that
both
Hand
and
Head
Live
and
are
Nourish'd
and
grow
Fat
and
Fresh
and
well-liking
by
the
assistance
,
of
the
Trading
Part
,
the
Whiggish-Gutts
,
to
whom
we
grutch
that
they
have
a
Being
and
Subsistance
,
though
by
them
we
Live
and
grow
Fat
,
and
if
we
offer
to
tear
them
apieces
,
and
their
Ancient

Some

You
have
told
us
what
the
Common-Law
sayes
for
Parliaments
,
frequent
Parliaments
;
Parliaments
that
Sit
,
and
must
be
held
,
not
Mock-Parliaments
,
(
made
like
Penelope's-Web
only
to
be
Vnravell'd
and
Dissolv'd
.
)
But
what
says
the
Statute-Law
to
this
point
.
Whig
.
I
have
not
done
yet
with
my
Common-Law
.
Tory.
Proceed
then
,
but
be
brief
.
Whig

The
Ancient
Treatise
(
called
Modus
Tenendi
Parliamentum
)
which
Lord
Coke
says
was
rehearsed
and
declared
before
William
the
Conqueror
,
and
by
him
approved
,
and
accordingly
he
held
a
Parliament
for
England
,
(
as
appears
21
Edw.
3.
fol.
60.
)
wherein
we
Read
,
that
Petitions
being
truly
prefer'd
,
have
been
Answered
by
the
Law
and
Custom
of
Parliament
,
before
the
end
of
Parliament
.
Tant
.
But
suppose
the
King
will
end
it
before
the
Petitions
and
Grievances
be
redrest
,
by
his
Prerogative
.
Whig
.
Parson
!
Thou
makes
Suppositions
most
dishonourable
to
Loyal
Majesty
,
and
that
which
is
scarce
to
be
suppos'd
,
that
ever
any
Head
should
not
permit
any
Remedy
to
be
applyed
to
the
Gouty
or
distempered
Hands
,
Gutts
and
Feet
:
For
if
the
Hands
be
Lame
,
how
will
the
Politick-Head
help
it self
?
Or
if
the
Gutts
be
empty
,
or
Gutifounder'd
,
how
will
Head
feed
its
self
:
And
if
the
Feet
be
Lame
,
and
the
Heart
faint
,
the
Head
will
make
Wise-Fighting
,
(
I
believe
,
)
when
it
comes
too
:
Therefore
,
I
cannot
imagine
a
Head
to
be
so
Senseless
,
(
except
the
Brains
be
out
)
that
should
have
such
an
Vnnatural
,
Cruel
,
Stupid
and
foolish
project
in
the
Nodle
of
it
,
as
neither
to
help
the
oppressed
Gutts
and
Hands
or
Feet
;
nor
yet
permit
the
Charity
and
good
will
of
others
that
are
both
willing
and
able
to
Ease
,
Remedy
and
Redress
the
Griefs
and
Grievances
of
the
Body
;
and
all
this
,
without
a
Fee.
Tant
.
If
you
apply
this
to
Parliament
Redressing
Grievances
without
a
Fee
,
you
do
not
mean
,
a
Pentioners
Parliament

hope

No

Whig

But
the
True-English-Parliament
can
never
be
a
Long-Parliament
,
nor
can
the
Intervals
of
Parliament
be
long
;
nor
yet
,
the
Sessions
of
Parliament
can
be
short
:
For
,
Modus
Tenendi
,
saith
,
That
the
Parliament
ought
not
to
be
ended
while
any
Petition
dependeth
Vndiscussed
,
(
and
so
say
the
Statutes
too
,
as
I
'le
shew
anon
irrefragably

And
that
one
of
the
Principal
ends
of
calling
Parliaments
,
is
for
Redressing
of
Grievances
that
dayly
happen
;
(
of
which
the
King
cannot
possibly
be
inform'd
so
truly
as
by
Parliaments
)
that
Parler
le
ments
speak
their
minds
freely
,
without
Glozing
and
Flattery
;
for
Kings
seldom
hear
Truth
but
in
Parliament
;
that
it
is
one
of
the
greatest
wonders
in
the
World
,
that
Kings
(
of
all
others
)
should
not
most
of
all
desire
frequent
Parliamens
,
wherein
(
of
all
other
places
)
he
sits
in
most
Majesty
and
King-like
,
as
Gloriously
,
as
Powerfully
;
but
,
those
Kings
(
that
have
been
Enemies
to
Parliaments
,
and
to
frequent
Parliaments
)
have
been
at
poor
as
ever
they
could
creep
,
for
go
they
could
not
,
in
State
,
and
King-like
;
but
were
glad
to
make
Poor
and
Beggarly
and
Illegal
Shifts
and
all
to
preserve
a
company
of
Sneaking
Sycophants
that
care
not
how
Bare
and
Beggarly
the
King's
Exchequer
be
,
so
they
may
but
live
impune
,
to
pull
him
more
bare
and
bald
,
when
there
's
scarce
a
Hair
left

knowing
that
they
must
be
Fleec'd

and
also

disgorge
the
ill

Gourmandiz'd

Greedily

be
choak'd
when
they
are
forc'd
(
by
the
Wise
Physitians
)
to
Spue

up

Tory.
But
if
frequent
Parliaments
(
to
fit
so
long
till
all
Petitions
be
Answered
and
Grievances
be
Redress'd
)
be
secured
by
Common-Law
and
Statute-Law
:
How
came
King
Charles
I.
in
open
Parliament
,
(
more
than
in
one
Parliament
)
in
a
kind
of
Threatning
way
to
tell
the
Parliaments
,
and
bid
them
remember
,
that
the
Calling
,
Adjourning
,
Prorogueing
,
Holding
and
Dissolving
,
was
wholly
in
his
Power
.
Whig
.
So
it
is
in
his
Power
,
that
is
,
he
alone
can
do
it
,
as
many
other
Kingly
Acts
;
Indicting
men
for
Felony
,
Treason
,
&c.
It
cannot
be
done
but
in
the
Kings
Name
,
you
cannot
Arrest
a
man
for
Debt
that
is
owing
to
you
,
but
in
the
Kings
Name
:
But
still
they
are
things
in
Course
,
and
directed
by
the
Law.
Besides
,
when
King
Charles
I.
had
such
Principles
whisper'd
into
his
head
,
he
was
but
young
;
he
liv'd
to
be
wiser
before
his
latter
end
,
and
to
know
the
Truth
of
what
his
Wise
Father
had
told
him
and
his
Parliaments
very
often
:
That
as
the
Head
is
ordained
for
the
Body
,
and
not
the
Body
for
the
Head
;
so
must
a
Righteous
King
know
himself
to
be
ordain'd
for
his
People
,
and
not
his
People
for
him
:
Wherefore
,
I
will
never
be
asham'd
to
confess
it
my
Principal
to
be
the
great
Servant
of
the
Common-wealth
,
&c.
Tory.
Ay

but
we

are
not

received
nothing

Justice

that
the
death

And
who
are
they

that
have
caused
all

Then
Mr.

was
mistaken

for
he
proceeded
,
saying
,
Mr.

,
I
will
tell
you
a
passage
I
heard
from
a
Judge
in
the
Kings

There
was
a
poor
man
Committed
by

for
refusing

submit

attended
a
long

at

The

Let

Come

said

But
(

I
may
say
it

for
I
am
sure
we

No

what

The

Hatred

I
call
it

Irregular

are
infinite

I
'le
conclude
with
an
old
Story
:
Cambyses
King
of
Persia
was
a
man
naturally
inclin'd
to
Goodness
,
but
Spoil'd
by
Sycophants
,
and
drill'd
on
to
absolute
Tyranny
by
Whores
and
Sycophants
,
that
led
him
by
the
Nose
;
and
then
for
Lust
,
he
was
not
only
Insatiable
,
but
wildly
Extravagant
;
scarce
any
Wench
of
his
own
Kingdom
would
serve
his
Wanton
Squeamish
Old
Appetite
,
and
yet
he
had
(
of
his
own
Subjects
)
Whores
in
abundance
,
that
were
as
willing
as
heart
could
wish
,
and
would
have
been
glad
of
the
Preferment
to
be
a
Royal
Whore
(
for
besides
the
pleasent
sin
,
there
was
Money
and
a
Title
of
Honour
too
perhaps
in
the
Case
:
)
But
nothing
would
serve
Cambyses
,
but
to
make
his
own
Sister
his
Miss
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
he
could
have
been
tempt'd
and
could
find
in
his
heart
to
make
her
his
Wife
,
(
if
he
durst
for
the
Laws
)
whereupon
to
satisfy
the
Laws
and
his
Lust
together
,
he
made
a
Privy-Council-business
of
it
,
and
Consulted
them
and
the
Lawyers
,
whether
he
might
no.
Marry
his
Sister
lawfully
?
They
Answered
,
That
they
knew
no
Law
which
admitted
such
Marriages
,
but
that
there
was
a
Prerogative
,
That
the
Persian
Kings
might
do
what
they
listed
.
Tant
.
The
Prerogative
(
then
)
is
a
very
Hapy
Commodity
(
these
)
and
a
help
(
it
seems
)
to
get
such
a
Commodity
as
is
not
allowed
to
the
poor
,
nor
to
the
wicked
,
neither
by
the
Law
of
God
nor
man
:
But
tell
us
more
concerning
our
Kings
Prerogative
in
reference
to
Parliaments
?
Whig
.
Not
now
however
,
for
I
understand
your
drift
,
(
Mr.
Catch-Pole
!
)
but
I
am
not
very
ambitious
of
being
a
State-Martyr
;
I
find
cold
comfort
in
it
(
in
a
Thankless
,
unthinking
and
degenerate
Age
)
besides
,
(
Mr.

you
can
Swear
with
a
Witness
,
and
either
strain
my
words
,
or
you
'l
stretch
your
Conscience

and
it
is
a
Cheverill-Conscience
already
