A DECLARATION OF THE COMMONS Assembled in Parliament c. THe Commons in Parliament having received two severall Letters which were intercepted written and sent by Sir John Brooks sometimes a Member of that House this Parliament till he was disabled being a great Projector and Monopolist and not onely a deserter of the service wherewith he was intrusted for the publique but also a Fomentor of the present bloudy and unnaturall War and actually bearing of arms against the Parliament unto Sir William Killegrew knight a great and principall Factor for the Cavaliers in this Rebellion and Designe residing at Oxford during the late Treaty upon the Propositions for an Accommodation presented unto His Majestie by both Houses whereby as a further concurrent Testimony the good people of this Kingdom and all others that willfully have not blinded themselves holding the Truth in unrighteousnesse not suffering that to appear which in their judgements they cannot gainsay may cleerly discern by whose and what Counsells His Majesty is swayed and is and hath of late bin seduced that the meanest of those that have ingaged themselves in this hellish and Tyrannicall Rebellion do adventure to cast in their Mites their Counsells being as various as their Designes some endeavouring the promoting of the Popish Religion others their own lucre and advancement to make up again their desperate and broken Fortunes by the ruine and destruction of the faithfull of the Land some ambitiously seeking Honor that they may insult over the Lords heritage some to protect themselves from the hand of publique Justice to which they are obnoxious and others hunting for revenge Each of them striving to be the most lying spirit in the mouths of all them that encompasse the Royall Throne who have not onely perswaded but have prevailed also and have made the Nobles and great Men of England for the most part of those that have withdrawn themselves as the Nobles of Israel Destroyers of the work and hinderers of a Reformation the Evidences of which Truths are daily so cleerly discovered by extraordinary and speciall Acts of divine Providence so visible as he that runs may read By these Letters it appears That the Lords and Commons of both Houses who have not lost their first love nor deserted their Trust but have appropriated themselves to the Lords work that have given sufficient Testimony of their Affections to the service and safety of the King and Kingdom are vilified and traduced and that in the highest places by these wicked and seducing Counsellors who not onely work them out of the good opinion of His Majestie but by their wiles are encompassing their Ruine and Destruction have advised that no pardon may be given to the Lords and others that have taken up Arms though in their own defence against them that are declared by the greatest Counsell of the Land to be publique Enemies to the State and that in every County inquisition may be made by such Instruments as the King may best trust and a speciall care taken that none of them may escape that are rich and have good Estates whose Names must be certified speedily to His Majestie that they may be exempted out of the generall Pardon And whereas according to the known Laws of the Land as both the Houses of Parliament by their Declarations of the Seventeenth of January and Second of February 1641. have declared That where there is no Charge against any Member of either House made known to that House of which he is a Member and he is Arrested Attached Indicted or Accused or where their Estates are seized or sequestred which is not made known to such House whereof he is a Member That it is against the Fundamentall Liberties of the Subject the Rights of Parliament and that those that did or should offend therein were guilty of the breach of the Priviledges of the Parliament of the Liberties of the Subjects and publique Enemies to the Common-wealth and thereupon the King himself as appears by His Message of the Twelfth of January following waved His proceedings against the Lord Kimbolton and the Five Members of the House of Commons accused of high-Treason And in his Message of the Twenty fourth of the same Moneth sent to both Houses confesseth His mistake in the way And whereas afterward both the Houses of Parliament declaring in their Petition to His Majestie That it is the undoubted Right and Priviledge of Parliament that no Member of either House of Parliament can be proceeded against without consent of Parliament His Majestie returned in answer the Second of February 1641. That he did find good cause wholly to desert His prosecution against the Lord Kimbolton and five Members Yet the sayd Sir John Brookes as it appeareth by his letters hereafter mentioned and as it is most evident the rest of his fellow Traytors and Rebels that are the pretenders of peace and of governing the Subject according to the known Laws have not only broken through and violated these known Laws so lately declared in Parliament and confessed and consented unto on all hands but contrary to all Law and justice by colour of a Regall power and the Kings Prerogative above the Law presumptuously against all the Rules and Presidents of Law under pretence of a Commission of their own procuring to
