;
Conquest
(

Proposition
1.
That
the
Right
and
Title
of
a
(
pretended
)
Conquest
over
the
English
Nation
,
by
Forreigners
called
Normanes
,
hath
been
heretofore
set
up
and
is
still
upheld
in
this
Kingdom
,
and
that
all
Englishmen
by
the
mouthes
of
their
Parliaments
and
Lawyers
have
submitted
and
doe
still
submit
unto
the
same
,
and
are
governed
in
great
part
by
Normane
Innovations
,
being
forreign
Laws
and
Customes
introduced
by
the
said
Normanes
in
despight
of
the
English
people
,
for
Markes
and
Monuments
of
the
said
Conquest
.
Proofe
.
THat
the
Right
and
Title
of
such
a
Conquest
is
still
on
foot
,
and
stands
for
the
Basis
of
this
Kingdom
,
I
suppose
needs
no
proofe
:
That
it
is
accordingly
still
submitted
to
,
I
have
proved
in
my
Plain
English
,
pag.
3
,
4.
a
sufficient
part
of
which
probation
is
this
,
(
viz.
)
That
by
the
mouthes
above
said
,
we
doe
acknowledge
(
how
truly
I
shall
shew
in
my
fifth
Proposition
)
that
the
Duke
of
Normandy
absolutely
purchased
with
his
Sword
the
Crown
of
England
and
our
Allegiance
(
for
otherwise
he
could
not
be
as
we
name
him
our
Conquerour
.
)
Secondly
,
That
accordingly
we
doe
submit
to
his
Heires
,
placing
him
the
said
Duke
(
specificated
with
his
said
Title
of
Conquerour
▪
)
for
the
Root
and
Alpha
of
our
rightfull
Kings
;
so
that
it
is
plain
that
the
said
Conquest
doth
enjoy
both
our
acknowledgement
and
profest
allegiance
;
That
the
Normane
Innovations
are
retained
(
to
the
almost
exiling
of
our
own
proper
Laws
)
is
every where
both
*
legible
and
visible
:
That
they
were
introduced
in
manner
and
for
the
purpose
above
said
,
and
accordingly
reseuted
and
reluctated
against
by
the
English
people
(
while
they
understood
themselves
and
their
proprieties
)
may
appeare
by
their
many
exclamations
made
against
them
unto
the
(
pretended
)
Conquerour
,
by
the
Acts
of
the
Kentishmen
,
and
by
the
Londoners
Petition
in
King
Stephens
time
,
which
also
occasioned
those
many
Regall
Oaths
to
be
then
and
still
taken
(
though
not
yet
performed
)
for
retracting
these
innovations
and
restoring
the
Laws
of
King
Edward
,
So
far
are
the
said
Innovations
from
being
any
part
of
our
Legitimate
Laws
(
though
our
wilde
Lawyers
so
repute
them
)
the
proper
birth
or
stamp
whereof
is
to
be
of
the
peoples
choosing
,
as
the
Coronation
Oath
testifies
:
And
thus
much
for
to
shew
that
while
we
dispute
the
duty
of
Subjects
we
professe
the
allegiance
of
Captives
,
while
wee
spurne
at
English
Proclamations
we
submit
to
Normane
Laws
,
and
that
notwithstanding
all
our
great
Victories
and
Triumphs
,
we
doe
still
remain
as
much
as
ever
,
under
the
Title
and
in
the
quality
of
a
conquered
Nation
;
unto
which
what
reasons
we
have
to
induce
us
,
I
shall
shew
in
my
ensuing
Propositions
.
Proposition
2.
That
the
said
Title
of
Conquest
and
Normane
Innovations
(
while
they
continue
in
force
in
this
Kingdom
)
are
destructive
to
the
Honour
,
Freedome
,
and
all
other
unquestioned
Rights
of
this
Nation
,
and
much
more
to
the
present
Legality
and
future
validity
of
this
Parliaments
proceedings
.
Proofe
.
A
Great
part
of
the
Injuriousnesse
of
this
Title
and
Innovations
,
toward
our
Nation
,
I
cannot
better
set
forth
then
in
the
words
of
learned
Fortescue
(
cited
by
Mr.
Prin
in
his
Sovereigne
Power
,
part
.
1.
p.
37
,
38.
)
though
himselfe
a
Normane
and
arguing
onely
against
unlimited
Prerogative
in
the
Crowne
which
is
but
part
of
what
is
inseparably
wrapt
up
in
Title
of
Conquest
,
who
having
declared
it
to
be
the
undoubted
Right
of
Englishmen
to
have
this
twofold
Priviledge
(
viz.
)
to
be
under
Laws
of
their
owne
choosing
and
Princes
which
themselves
admit
,
(
in
which
two
consists
a
great
part
of
their
Honour
and
the
summe
of
their
Freedome
as
I
have
shewed
in
my
Plain
English
p.
1.
)
addes
,
that
of
the
Benefit
of
this
their
Right
they
should
be
utterly
defrauded
if
they
should
be
under
a
King
that
might
spoil
them
of
their
Goods
,
(
as
our
first
pretended
Conquerour
did
,
and
as
the
heyres
of
his
Title
by
the
law
of
all
Conquests
still
may
,
)
And
yet
should
they
be
much
more
injured
if
they
should
afterwards
be
governed
by
forreign
and
strange
Laws
and
such
peradventure
as
they
deadly
hated
and
abhorred
(
of
which
sort
I
have
before
shewed
these
Innovations
,
to
be
,
)
And
most
of
all
,
if
by
those
Lawes
their
substance
should
be
diminished
(
as
it
is
by
many
of
these
Innovations
particularly
that
of
drawing
the
generality
of
Law
suits
to
Westminster
)
for
the
safegard
whereof
as
also
of
their
honour
and
of
their
owne
Bodies
they
submitted
themselves
to
his
Governement
;
Thus
and
more
he
;
To
which
I
may
add
,
that
this
Injuriousnesse
were
yet
much
more
aggravated
,
if
our
Kings
which
were
install'd
by
our
Admission
and
should
thus
patronize
our
Honour
,
&c.
Should
professe
themselves
to
be
of
forreigne
Bloud
,
declare
that
they
owe
their
Right
to
the
Crowne
unto
none
but
their
Sword
,
and
write
on
our
foreheads
that
we
are
their
Conquered
and
Captive
vassalls
(
as
our
Princes
while
they
retaine
the
said
Title
,
doe
;
)
In
summe
,
the
Title
and
Effects
of
this
(
pretended
)
Conquest
are
a
yoke
of
Captivity
,
unto
which
while
we
continue
our
fond
and
needlesse
Submission
,
we
renounce
Honour
,
Freedom
and
all
absolute
Right
to
any
thing
but
just
shame
and
oppression
,
being
thereby
in
the
quality
of
profest
Captive
Bondslaves
unto
the
heyres
of
the
Duke
of
Normandy
and
wearing
the
open
livery
of
that
Pofession
;
And
although
we
enjoy
a
mitigation
of
our
Slavery
by
Charters
,
yet
are
those
Charters
revokable
at
the
Kings
pleasure
(
as
*
K.
Richard
the
Second
well
observed
)
while
the
Kingdom
continues
grounded
on
the
Conquest
,
Which
I
have
sufficiently
proved
(
in
the
Preface
to
Plaine
English
)
from
the
tenour
of
Magna
Charta
it selfe
(
which
declares
the
said
Charter
to
be
an
Act
of
meere
grace
and
favour
and
grounded
upon
respect
not
somuch
of
Duty
as
of
meritorious
supererogating
toward
God
,
much
lesse
of
duty
(
though
benefit
)
to
the
Nation
,
and
from
a
*
confession
of
Parliament
,
and
is
also
otherwise
no
lesse
cleerly
evincible
,
for
that
it
is
a
Maxime
,
that
all
Subjects
of
a
Conquest
,
especially
while
they
professe
themselves
such
(
as
we
simply
still
doe
)
are
in
the
quality
of
Tenants
in
villenage
,
subject
and
subservient
in
their
persons
and
estates
to
the
Will
▪
Honour
,
and
Benefit
of
their
Conquerour
and
his
heires
,
according
to
that
Axiome
in
*
Caesar
(
mentioned
in
my
Plain
English
,
pag.
7.
)
Jus
est
Belli
ut
hi
qui
vicissent
his
quo●
vicissent
quemadniodum
vellent
Imperarent
,
That
the
conquered
are
by
the
Laws
of
War
under
the
arbitrary
Rule
and
Government
of
their
Conquerours
,
and
according
to
the
practice
in
the
Turkish
Dominions
,
which
are
not
more
grounded
on
conquest
then
we
yeild
ours
to
be
;
wch
Captive
and
slavish
quality
,
how
unseemly
it
is
for
Englishmen
to
continue
in
,
especially
toward
a
Normane
Colony
,
and
that
while
they
may
with
justice
and
facility
come
out
of
it
,
I
have
shewn
in
my
Anti-Normanisme
:
And
as
touching
the
consequent
*
Illegality
of
this
Parliaments
proceedings
(
untill
they
either
repeale
this
Title
,
or
else
renounce
the
quality
of
Englishmen
)
if
it
seeme
not
evident
enough
from
the
premises
,
it
may
be
seen
in
my
Plain
Engl.
evinced
and
proved
against
all
objections
whatsoever
;
of
which
illegality
,
future
invalidity
is
both
the
sister
and
daughter
.
Proposition
3.
That
the
same
are
also
derog●●ry
to
the
Kings
Right
to
the
Crown
,
to
his
Honour
,
and
to
his
just
interest
in
the
peoples
affections
.
Proofe
.
FOr
it
is
confest
on
all
sides
(
particularly
by
Master
Marshall
and
Master
Pri●
the
Prolocutors
of
the
Parliamentarians
,
and
by
Doctor
Hudson
the
grand
Royalist
)
that
the
Title
of
Conquest
is
*
unjust
,
as
being
gained
by
murderous
Rapine
;
So
that
while
we
ground
the
Kings
Title
on
a
Conquest
,
we
make
him
a
predonicall
Usurper
,
and
defraud
him
of
his
just
Right
founded
on
Saint
Edwards
Legacie
joyned
with
this
Nations
Admission
,
besides
his
Heireship
to
the
English
Bloud
,
as
I
have
shown
in
my
Plain
Engl.
page
the
last
,
and
in
Anti-Norman
,
pag.
19.
And
as
for
his
honour
and
just
interest
in
the
peoples
affections
,
they
consist
in
his
being
Pater
Patriae
,
as
himselfe
also
also
lately
intimated
;
but
the
Title
of
the
Conquest
holds
him
in
the
quality
not
onely
of
a
forreigner
,
but
also
of
the
capitall
enemy
of
his
Subjects
,
and
so
affords
their
mindes
more
provocation
unto
hatred
and
revenge
,
then
unto
affection
or
allegiance
,
as
I
have
plainly
shown
in
my
Preface
to
Plain
Engl.
and
in
Anti-Norm
.
pag.
20
,
21.
and
may
be
discerned
from
those
sutable
fruits
of
it
,
which
I
shall
hereafter
specifie
.
Neither
doe
the
Innovations
(
the
Effects
and
badges
of
the
(
pretended
)
Conquest
)
want
their
share
in
the
like
effect
,
as
being
a
just
cause
of
the
dis-relishment
and
contempt
of
our
Laws
,
(
so
Normanized
both
in
matter
and
forme
)
by
understanding
men
,
and
(
no
doubt
)
the
ground
of
that
generall
and
inbred
hatred
which
still
dwels
in
our
common
people
against
both
our
Laws
and
Lawyers
.
Proposition
4.
That
the
same
have
been
the
Root
and
Cause
of
all
the
Civill
Wars
(
about
temporall
matters
)
that
ever
were
in
this
Kingdom
betwixt
King
and
People
,
and
are
likewise
for
the
time
to
come
,
destructive
to
all
well
grounded
,
firme
and
lasting
unity
,
peace
,
and
concord
in
this
Realm
,
and
consequently
to
the
strength
of
the
same
.
Proofe
.
THe
Narrative
is
evident
from
history
,
the
rest
from
reason
;
for
how
can
there
be
union
in
affection
betwixt
those
that
are
profest
strangers
and
enemies
one
to
another
as
this
Title
and
Innovations
(
the
Ensignes
of
hostility
)
render
our
Kings
&
people
,
moreover
the
said
Title
(
by
reason
of
the
unlimited
prerogative
inseparably
appendant
)
is
apt
to
suggest
seeds
of
Tyranny
to
the
Crown
(
as
it
hath
continually
dont
)
&
consequently
of
insurrections
to
the
subject
,
to
the
disturbance
of
the
publike
peace
,
which
is
Confirmed
by
the
said
many
Civill
warres
we
have
had
in
this
Kingdome
since
these
Abuses
were
set
on
foote
,
whereas
before
,
we
never
had
any
;
And
weaknesse
must
needs
wait
upon
that
Body
where
there
is
such
a
disunion
and
antipathy
betwixt
the
Head
and
Members
.
Proposition
5.
That
the
introduction
of
the
said
Title
and
Innovations
was
,
and
the
retaining
of
them
is
contrary
to
the
fundamentall
Constitution
of
this
Kingdom
.
Proofe
.
FOr
the
Normane
Duke
was
admitted
as
Legatee
of
Saint
Edward
,
and
upon
his
Oath
to
preserve
our
Lawes
and
Liberties
,
and
not
as
a
Conquerour
nor
yet
for
an
Innovator
,
as
the
most
authentique
Historians
testifie
,
among
whom
honest
Aemilius
Veronensis
an
impartiall
stranger
writing
of
this
matter
,
sayth
expresly
,
non
ipss
homines
sed
causa
defuncti
victa
extinct
aque
,
that
it
was
not
the
English
Nation
,
but
the
Usurper
Harold
that
was
overcome
,
and
as
(
in
opposition
to
the
Innovations
)
I
shall
make
more
clear
in
the
confirmation
of
my
next
Proposition
;
Insomuch
that
the
violent
introduction
of
the
said
Abuses
was
,
and
the
per●tinacious
upholding
of
them
is
an
usurpant
▪
perjurious
and
perfidious
robbing
us
of
the
Title
and
quality
of
a
free
Nation
.
Proposition
6.
That
the
reteining
of
the
same
is
contrary
to
the
Coronation
Oath
of
all
our
Kings
,
and
to
the
Oaths
and
Duties
of
Parliament
and
People
.
Proofe
.
FOr
it
is
the
first
and
chiefe
part
of
the
proper
and
Solemne
Oath
of
all
our
Kings
at
their
Coronation
(
as
it
was
the
first
Normanes
like
Oath
,
either
at
his
Coronation
or
(
at
least
)
*
before
his
full
admission
and
confirmation
by
the
English
State
)
to
preserve
our
Laws
and
Liberties
established
by
Saint
Edward
,
which
are
inconsistent
with
the
said
Title
and
Innovations
;
Neither
can
any
man
say
,
that
because
the
Oath
binds
also
to
the
confirmation
of
other
Kings
Grants
,
therefore
these
Innovations
are
included
;
for
Grants
imply
a
precedent
asking
,
and
how
far
these
Innovations
were
from
ever
being
asked
I
have
before
shown
;
And
moreover
the
confirmation
is
especially
limited
to
the
Laws
of
King
Edward
,
as
being
both
the
most
desired
and
desirable
.
And
for
Parliament
and
People
,
they
are
bound
both
by
their
naturall
and
officiall
Duties
,
and
moreover
by
their
late
solemne
Covenant
,
unto
the
vindication
of
their
Nationall
Rights
and
Liberties
,
of
which
tho
said
Title
and
Innovations
are
the
greatest
opposites
,
as
I
have
before
shown
.
Proposition
7.
That
untill
this
Title
and
Innovations
are
abolished
,
there
can
be
no
Honour
,
Freedome
or
Happinesse
to
this
Nation
;
That
the
inception
of
that
enterprize
is
the
most
hopefull
means
for
curing
the
present
Divisions
,
and
that
there
is
no
colourable
Objection
against
the
performing
it
.
Proofe
.
FOr
untill
the
Cause
be
taken
away
the
Effect
is
not
like
to
cease
,
I
have
before
shown
how
destructive
these
Abuses
are
to
our
Honour
,
Rights
,
and
Unity
,
While
they
remain
,
we
are
in
the
quality
of
captive
slaves
,
and
our
Kings
in
the
semblance
of
forreign
and
usurping
Lords
;
And
as
these
evils
were
the
cause
of
the
first
fracture
and
subsequent
Antipathy
in
this
Kingdom
betwixt
Crown
and
Subject
,
So
there
can
be
no
solid
closure
betweene
them
untill
they
are
repealed
;
These
being
removed
,
the
whole
Nation
(
both
King
and
people
)
will
be
restored
into
the
quality
of
one
naturall
Body
,
which
(
as
*
Fortescue
hath
aptly
observed
out
of
Aristotle
)
hath
a
set
forme
of
duty
and
affection
constituted
betwixt
the
Head
and
Members
;
And
as
touching
this
works
expediencie
toward
re-uniting
divided
Englishmen
,
it
is
evident
,
for
if
the
common
honour
and
happinesse
of
the
Nation
be
the
scope
of
their
designes
,
they
have
no
other
high
way
to
their
end
but
this
;
also
it
may
be
learnt
from
the
common
practice
of
distracted
States
,
whose
usuall
remedy
is
the
assaulting
of
a
common
Enemy
,
of
which
sort
are
these
Abuses
,
being
a
forreigne
usurpation
that
hath
a
more
generall
,
hostile
,
and
mischievous
malignity
against
our
Nation
,
in
it
,
then
any
other
adversary
we
have
at
this
day
,
save
that
it
wants
strength
and
formidablenesse
,
for
that
there
is
no
man
amongst
us
hath
any
colourable
cause
to
defend
it
;
Moreover
,
untill
this
be
redrest
,
all
else
that
is
done
is
but
as
building
of
Castles
in
the
aire
,
that
have
no
firme
foundation
,
but
may
be
blown
down
with
the
Kings
arbitrary
breath
,
as
I
have
before
proved
;
And
if
any
object
the
troublesomnesse
and
difficulty
of
rooting
out
the
Innovations
,
I
answer
,
that
that
particular
may
be
consummated
at
leisure
,
that
we
have
taken
more
pains
about
things
of
lower
concernment
,
and
that
the
restauration
of
our
Rights
ought
not
to
seeme
unto
us
more
laborious
or
difficult
,
then
did
to
our
enemies
the
introducing
of
the
contrary
.
Proposition
8.
That
all
English
men
that
are
active
in
maintaining
the
said
Title
and
Innovations
,
are
the
most
flagitious
Traytors
both
to
their
King
and
Countrey
that
ever
were
.
Proofe
.
IT
is
apparent
from
the
premises
,
it
being
also
evident
that
in
comparison
of
such
,
Strafford
in
his
worst
appearance
was
a
good
Patriot
;
And
as
for
the
defaults
of
former
times
in
this
particular
,
they
are
not
now
pretendible
for
excuse
,
for
that
now
heaven
holds
forth
power
and
opportunity
far
more
liberally
then
ever
heretofore
or
perhaps
then
hereafter
,
for
asserting
of
Truth
,
and
establishing
Righteousnesse
in
this
Kingdom
.

The
example
of
the
extorting
of
Magna
Charta
makes
nothing
to
the
contrary
,
for
that
was
done
(
as
Daniels
History
testifies
)
by
the
Nobility
of
those
times
,
under
the
notion
and
quality
of
Normans
and
coheires
of
the
conquest
,
which
quality
(
I
suppose
)
our
Parliament
will
not
(
if
they
could
)
assume
.
*
Likewise
by
our
own
Laws
,
obligations
extorted
by
duresse
(
as
is
fealty
to
a
conquest
)
are
voydable
.
Not
any
History
or
Record
sayth
that
he
claimed
the
Crown
(
before
hee
had
it
)
as
Conqueror
of
England
,
much
lesse
that
hee
was
acknowledged
for
such
by
the
English
or
submitted
to
under
that
Title
;
therefore
the
assumption
of
that
Title
afterward
was
usurpatory
:
