Answer
to
severall
Objections
concerning
the
Protestants
Petition
.
1.
QuestVPon
what
reason
doe
you
present
this
Petition
in
the
name
of
the
Gentlemen
of
the
foure
Innes
of
Court
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
;
because
the
Gentlemen
of
the
Innes
of
Court
,
having
lately
appeared
before
the
face
of
the
Court
,
to
preserve
the
Kings
person
,
according
to
their
allegiance
,
his
Majesty
being
in
eminent
danger
,
as
they
conceived
,
which
might
not
s●eme
altogether
conformable
in
these
turbulent
times
,
being
not
invoked
by
publick
authority
,
therefore
I
deemed
it
not
much
incongruent
for
me
;
having
been
a
member
of
that
Society
,
to
make
my
addresse
unto
this
honorable
House
,
without
their
especiall
advice
,
by
preferring
an
humble
Petition
,
which
might
manifest
a
perfect
intention
of
their
true
devotion
,
both
towards
your
Honourable
Assembly
;
as
also
unto
their
country
.
2.
Quest
.
Why
did
you
not
take
the
advice
of
some
particular
friends
,
or
of
some
one
Innes
of
Court
rather
then
the
generall
,
and
for
all
the
Protestants
of
England
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
,
because
I
did
conceive
that
the
Petition
being
universall
and
concerning
all
the
loyall
Protestants
of
this
Kingdome
,
it
required
a
generall
counsell
of
the
whole
foure
Innes
of
Court
;
that
therby
through
a
perfect
and
judicious
judgement
it
might
receive
the
better
influence
from
the
whole
Kingdome
,
upon
whose
Counsell
this
Nation
doth
most
depend
.
3.
Quest
.
What
do
you
meane
by
the
reflection
upon
the
divine
service
of
God
?
Ans.
My
intention
was
that
the
divine
service
of
God
might
bee
duly
executed
,
by
reason
of
our
daily
schismatical
interruptions
,
frequently
appearing
in
some
of
our
Churches
,
manifestly
repugning
the
Protestant
professed
faith
in
our
Religion
.
4.
Quest
.
What
do
you
meane
by
the
two
extremities
of
zeale
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
Jesuits
and
Brownists
.
5.
Quest
.
Doe
you
not
thinke
that
we
have
as
much
care
to
preserve
the
Kings
person
as
you
,
what
doe
you
meane
by
that
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
,
that
you
would
be
pleased
to
appoint
an
especiall
guard
to
preserve
the
Kings
person
,
by
reason
of
the
multitude
of
people
which
passe
by
the
Court
gate
in
troops
,
with
acclamations
,
and
in
a
tumultuous
manner
.
6.
Quest
.
What
do
you
intend
by
the
Kings
immunities
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
,
all
the
Kings
Regall
dignities
,
it
being
the
glory
of
our
Nation
.
7.
Quest
.
Do
you
intend
by
settling
things
as
they
were
in
Queene
Elizabeths
and
King
Iames
his
dayes
,
to
abrogate
those
Lawes
which
we
have
enacted
in
this
Parliament
?
Answ
.
God
forbid
:
but
my
meaning
was
,
that
you
would
be
pleased
to
settle
us
in
that
happy
peace
among
us
which
our
Predecessors
most
happily
enjoyed
in
those
precedent
dayes
both
with
our
King
and
Country
,
without
any
impeachment
or
diminution
of
those
laudable
and
worthy
Lawes
by
your
Honourable
House
hitherto
established
.
8.
Quest
.
What
doe
you
mean
by
the
peace
of
your
conscience
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
,
that
being
devoutly
imployed
in
the
divine
service
of
God
,
wee
might
not
be
interrupted
in
our
devotions
by
the
Papists
and
Separatists
.
9.
Quest
.
What
doe
you
intend
by
the
defacing
of
Learning
?
Answ
.
My
meaning
was
,
the
manifest
and
daily
affronts
which
our
honest
and
learned
Divines
sustaine
by
schismaticall
persons
,
both
in
the
Church
and
publike
places
,
to
the
great
dishonour
and
dis-repuration
of
Learning
.
10.
Quest
.
What
doe
you
intend
by
the
advancement
to
its
dignity
?
Answ
.
My
meaning
was
,
that
Doctors
and
Coblers
might
not
be
equall
competitors
,
but
that
the
Cobler
might
not
goe
beyond
his
Last
.
10.
Quest
.
What
doe
you
intend
by
Separatists
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
,
the
Brownists
and
non-Conformists
to
the
established
doctrine
in
our
true
Protestant
Church
of
England
,
so
anciently
profest
by
our
predecessors
.
12.
Quest
.
Why
doe
you
endeavour
to
introduce
the
Gentlemen
of
the
Innes
of
Court
to
petition
for
the
Traine
Band
,
and
double
Watches
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
,
because
the
Gentlemen
of
the
Innes
of
Court
having
the
custody
of
many
and
great
estates
,
ought
to
endeavour
a
generall
pacification
,
that
thereby
the
Traine
Bands
,
and
extraordinary
Watches
may
as
well
be
relieved
from
their
chargeable
and
carefull
attendance
,
as
we
of
our
continuall
feare
with
dangerous
tumults
.
13.
Quest
.
What
doe
you
intend
by
free
debate
in
Parliament
,
without
interruption
or
fear
of
punishment
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
,
that
there
may
be
some
on
the
behalfe
of
the
Petition
admitted
to
a
liberall
and
free
discourse
before
the
Parliament
,
concerning
the
particulars
,
without
feare
of
punishment
.
14.
Quest
.
What
doe
you
intend
by
the
valiant
and
renowned
acts
of
your
predecessors
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
,
but
onely
a
lively
expression
,
to
retaine
the
dignity
of
our
Nation
.
Quest
.
15.
What
doe
you
meane
by
this
Protest
?
Ans.
My
meaning
was
,
no
more
but
to
testifie
my
innocency
,
and
the
reality
of
my
heart
to
serve
my
God
,
my
King
,
and
Country
.
16.
Quest
.
What
advice
and
counsell
had
you
to
draw
up
this
Petition
,
and
is
this
your
true
Copy
?
Ans.
I
doe
confesse
this
to
be
my
true
Copy
,
and
doe
most
seriously
protest
,
that
I
had
neither
counsell
nor
advice
from
any
man
towards
the
contriving
,
either
of
the
heads
thereof
,
or
this
rough
and
impolished
draught
;
and
I
take
God
to
witnesse
,
the
publication
thereof
was
never
.
Intended
without
a
generall
and
exact
counsell
vpon
every
particular
,
that
thereby
it
might
appeare
laudable
before
God
and
man
;
and
therefore
I
humbly
crave
and
beseech
your
favourable
construction
of
this
loose
Paper
,
submitting
my selfe
in
all
humility
to
the
grave
wisdomes
of
your
Honourable
Assembly
;
and
with
a
cheerfull
heart
ready
to
sacrifice
my
life
and
fortune
at
your
commands
.
