A79929	A cleare ansvver to the Armies late remonstrance against accommodation: so far as to justifie their former remonstrances, for accommodation.		1648 (1648)	Wing C4618; Thomason E473_22; ESTC R205267	10,922	15

the_o king_n and_o his_o party_n and_o therefore_o in_o lay_v the_o case_n the_o king_n be_v not_o only_o unjust_o but_o uncharitable_o use_v neither_o so_o far_o as_o my_o reason_n extend_v be_v it_o true_o say_v that_o a_o few_o of_o those_o many_o evil_n that_o our_o king_n have_v act_v be_v judge_v capital_a in_o several_a of_o his_o predecessor_n we_o read_v indeed_o of_o some_o of_o his_o predecessor_n base_o and_o wicked_o murder_v but_o never_o any_o suffer_a death_n as_o the_o result_n of_o any_o judgement_n pass_v upon_o he_o from_o this_o mistake_a supposition_n arise_v that_o want_n of_o change_n or_o remorse_n which_o they_o complain_v of_o in_o the_o king_n the_o fault_n they_o here_o lay_v to_o his_o charge_n he_o will_v confess_v be_v he_o guilty_a of_o it_o he_o have_v cause_n to_o abhor_v himself_o in_o dust_n and_o ash_n but_o he_o will_v deny_v their_o supposition_n and_o that_o he_o intend_v no_o slavery_n in_o people_n nor_o absoluteness_n in_o himself_o but_o defence_n of_o himself_o and_o those_o of_o his_o people_n that_o crave_v his_o protection_n in_o their_o legal_a right_n and_o his_o error_n be_v to_o be_v jealous_a of_o those_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v confide_v in_o and_o from_o this_o error_n have_v grow_v these_o sad_a consequence_n but_o so_o long_o as_o the_o army_n go_v on_o with_o such_o declaration_n they_o will_v free_v he_o from_o error_n justify_v his_o jealousy_n countenance_n his_o defence_n but_o yet_o near_o for_o the_o justice_n of_o accommodation_n with_o the_o king_n without_o trial_n or_o punishment_n i_o think_v it_o rest_v in_o this_o when_o the_o law_n acquit_v civil_a judge_n may_v acquit_v but_o the_o law_n acquit_v the_o person_n of_o our_o king_n therefore_o civil_a judge_n may_v you_o confess_v such_o maxim_n as_o give_v absolute_a impunity_n to_o king_n and_o that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n be_v find_v in_o law-book_n though_o you_o say_v as_o heireloome_n of_o the_o conquest_n but_o if_o they_o be_v in_o our_o law-book_n book_n they_o be_v legal_a privilege_n and_o preeminence_n by_o our_o law_n and_o then_o those_o that_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n and_o swear_v to_o maintain_v all_o the_o preeminency_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o crown_n as_o all_o parliament_n man_n have_v at_o their_o admission_n can_v punish_v the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n because_o its_o a_o infringe_n of_o a_o legal_a privilege_n i_o may_v add_v such_o judiciary_n proceed_v against_o or_o without_o law_n will_v not_o stand_v with_o their_o oath_n that_o have_v swear_v to_o maintain_v law_n and_o legal_a right_n of_o all_o but_o pag._n 50._o they_o say_v they_o can_v see_v how_o it_o may_v stand_v with_o justice_n to_o punish_v the_o minister_n and_o let_v the_o head_n go_v free_a nay_o they_o further_o say_v what_o ever_o ground_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o exempt_v king_n from_o humane_a justice_n or_o excuse_v they_o when_o they_o wilful_o give_v commission_n etc._n etc._n the_o same_o reason_n will_v serve_v to_o absolve_v and_o indempuifie_v their_o minister_n etc._n etc._n at_o least_o they_o say_v they_o will_v fain_o hear_v one_o principle_n for_o the_o one_o which_o will_v not_o by_o rational_a deduction_n extend_v to_o the_o other_o i_o answer_v first_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o in_o evil_a thing_n he_o that_o give_v the_o commission_n and_o command_v be_v deep_a in_o trangression_n so_o on_o their_o supposition_n a_o king_n must_v deserve_v more_o blame_n and_o punishment_n than_o his_o instrument_n but_o than_o second_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o humane_a law_n and_o penalty_n look_v at_o safety_n as_o well_o as_o demerit_n now_o to_o punish_v a_o king_n be_v like_a to_o set_v all_o on_o a_o flame_n and_o so_o to_o endanger_v the_o weal_n public_a therefore_o though_o their_o guilt_n be_v great_a yet_o they_o be_v leave_v to_o god_n to_o avoid_v inconvenience_n but_o now_o minister_n deserve_v punishment_n though_o not_o so_o much_o and_o the_o punishment_n of_o they_o may_v free_v the_o common_a wealth_n from_o danger_n for_o future_a for_o if_o the_o king_n can_v have_v no_o instrument_n he_o can_v do_v no_o mischief_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n about_o the_o justice_n of_o accommodation_n let_v i_o ask_v they_o this_o question_n have_v they_o not_o read_v what_o david_n do_v in_o his_o civil_a war_n both_o with_o ishbosheth_n and_o absalon_n close_n they_o up_o without_o any_o trial_n or_o execution_n though_o much_o blond_n be_v shed_v in_o both_o and_o if_o king_n may_v accommodate_v with_o subject_n without_o any_o try_v and_o punish_v they_o to_o avoid_v future_a interjection_n why_o may_v not_o subject_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n &_o on_o the_o same_o term_n accommodate_v with_o their_o king_n and_o be_v blameless_a a_o argument_n from_o a_o scripture_n example_n be_v cogent_a where_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o same_o else_o our_o saviour_n will_v not_o have_v use_v it_o mat._n 12.3_o 4._o why_o do_v this_o army_n themselves_o give_v pardon_n to_o that_o nest_n of_o those_o in_o oxford_n who_o they_o account_v the_o original_a delinquent_n but_o to_o prevent_v blood_n and_o danger_n by_o loss_n of_o time_n why_o may_v not_o the_o parliament_n then_o pass_v by_o the_o error_n of_o the_o king_n to_o prevent_v the_o bloodshed_n that_o will_v inevitable_o follow_v upon_o rigour_n and_o execution_n but_o now_o to_o the_o second_o question_n touch_v the_o safety_n of_o this_o accommodation_n against_o which_o they_o argue_v first_o from_o experience_n that_o seldom_o or_o never_o have_v such_o accommodation_n prove_v ease_v to_o the_o people_n for_o answer_n i_o will_v demand_v again_o where_o the_o rejection_n of_o a_o king_n and_o his_o posterity_n have_v not_o prove_v the_o fatal_a cause_n of_o endless_a civil_a war_n and_o whether_o that_o be_v not_o as_o destructive_a to_o public_a interest_n as_o any_o thing_n to_o be_v fear_v from_o accommodation_n after_o the_o depose_v of_o richard_n the_o second_o how_o long_o do_v this_o nation_n continue_v in_o blood_n and_o how_o endless_a be_v the_o contention_n till_o a_o accommodation_n in_o the_o union_n of_o the_o divide_a house_n by_o the_o marriage_n of_o their_o heir_n nor_o will_v that_o serve_v when_o there_o be_v but_o a_o suspicion_n of_o a_o worbeeke_n a_o in_o perkin_n worbeeke_n heir_n male_a of_o the_o house_n of_o york_n survive_v and_o so_o be_v it_o like_v still_o to_o be_v they_o have_v not_o now_o all_o the_o seed_n royal_a in_o their_o hand_n if_o they_o will_v with_o athaliah_n destroy_v they_o nor_o be_v they_o like_v to_o have_v since_o they_o propose_v such_o a_o way_n of_o summons_n to_o the_o prince_n and_o duke_n of_o york_n as_o if_o it_o be_v not_o intend_v to_o discourage_v they_o from_o return_v yet_o must_v it_o needs_o have_v that_o effect_n and_o they_o so_o banish_v for_o such_o a_o cause_n viz._n engagement_n to_o free_v their_o father_n from_o so_o close_a imprisonment_n on_o what_o heart_n will_v not_o move_v pity_n that_o have_v either_o the_o sense_n of_o humanity_n or_o the_o affection_n of_o a_o father_n or_o a_o son_n in_o he_o and_o so_o draw_v on_o foreign_a force_n to_o join_v with_o a_o discontent_a and_o oppress_a party_n here_o which_o they_o confess_v to_o be_v numerous_a which_o be_v a_o danger_n that_o can_v neither_o be_v avoid_v nor_o parallel_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n next_o for_o their_o argue_v the_o likelihood_n of_o the_o king_n willingness_n to_o break_v all_o those_o concession_n which_o he_o shall_v grant_v we_o may_v argue_v with_o more_o probability_n to_o the_o contrary_n king_n that_o intend_v to_o break_v care_v not_o what_o they_o grant_v so_o it_o be_v not_o of_o thing_n that_o disable_v they_o from_o break_v but_o our_o king_n in_o the_o late_a treaty_n have_v be_v most_o free_a and_o speedy_a in_o pass_v away_o his_o own_o power_n and_o tenacious_a only_o in_o those_o thing_n wherein_o not_o only_a conscience_n be_v pretend_v but_o without_o great_a uncharitableness_n we_o can_v question_v but_o that_o he_o be_v real_o scruple_v about_o they_o and_o he_o that_o will_v adventure_v life_n and_o all_o rather_o than_o grant_v one_o thing_n against_o conscience_n why_o shall_v not_o we_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v be_v as_o tender_v in_o keep_v when_o conscience_n be_v once_o engage_v in_o other_o thing_n for_o what_o be_v hold_v forth_o that_o the_o king_n may_v pretend_v his_o non_fw-la engagement_n to_o his_o concession_n because_o under_o force_n i_o answer_v as_o before_o if_o the_o king_n have_v any_o such_o thought_n he_o will_v not_o care_v what_o he_o grant_v because_o all_o be_v nullity_n beside_o though_o there_o be_v a_o dispute_n in_o law_n whither_o promise_n or_o obligation_n make_v under_o restraint_n be_v bind_v yet_o all_o divine_n know_v
