most_o humble_o bow_v his_o generious_a neck_n to_o go_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o the_o vizard_v executioner_n which_o be_v sudden_o do_v at_o one_o blow_n thus_o fall_v king_n charles_n the_o i._o

there_o on_o monday_n jan._n 26._o 1649._o faithful_o transcribe_v from_o the_o original_a copy_n of_o the_o king_n since_o i_o have_v already_o make_v my_o protestation_n not_o only_o against_o the_o illegality_n of_o this_o pretend_a court_n but_o that_o no_o power_n on_o earth_n can_v just_o call_v i_o who_o be_o your_o king_n into_o question_n as_o a_o delinquent_n i_o will_v no_o long_o have_v open_v my_o mouth_n on_o this_o argument_n but_o have_v refer_v myself_o to_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o then_o speak_v if_o this_o only_o concern_v my_o own_o particular_a but_o the_o duty_n which_o i_o owe_v to_o god_n to_o preserve_v the_o true_a liberty_n of_o my_o people_n do_v not_o permit_v i_o at_o this_o time_n i_o shall_v be_v silent_a for_o how_o can_v any_o free_v bear_v subject_a of_o england_n call_v his_o life_n or_o any_o thing_n he_o do_v possess_v his_o own_o if_o power_n without_o law_n can_v daily_o make_v new_a and_o abrogate_v the_o old_a and_o fundamental_a law_n of_o this_o land_n which_o i_o judge_v to_o be_v the_o present_a case_n wherefore_o when_o i_o be_v bring_v hither_o i_o expect_v that_o you_o will_v have_v study_v to_o satisfy_v i_o in_o those_o fundamental_o which_o do_v hinder_v i_o from_o put_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o pretend_a charge_n but_o since_o i_o do_v observe_v that_o nothing_o which_o i_o can_v allege_v can_v persuade_v you_o to_o it_o although_o negative_n be_v not_o so_o natural_o prove_v as_o affirmative_n yet_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o declear_a unto_o you_o the_o reason_n for_o which_o i_o be_o confident_a you_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o judge_v i_o nor_o the_o vile_a man_n in_o england_n for_o without_o show_v my_o reason_n i_o will_v not_o as_o you_o be_v so_o unreasonable_a importunate_a as_o to_o exact_v either_o belief_n or_o obedience_n from_o my_o subject_n here_o be_v i_o restrain_v and_o not_o suffer_v to_o speak_v any_o more_o of_o reason_n there_o be_v no_o just_a process_n against_o any_o man_n which_o derive_v not_o its_o authority_n either_o from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o from_o the_o municipal_a law_n of_o the_o land_n now_o i_o be_o most_o sure_a that_o the_o process_n at_o this_o day_n make_v against_o i_o can_v be_v confirm_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o necessity_n of_o obedience_n be_v clear_o confirm_v and_o straight_o command_v in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n which_o if_o it_o be_v deny_v i_o be_o prepare_v present_o to_o prove_v it_o and_o as_o for_o the_o question_n now_o in_o agitation_n it_o be_v say_v there_o where_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n be_v there_o be_v power_n and_o who_o can_v say_v unto_o he_o what_o do_v thou_o eccles_n 8._o v._n 4._o then_o as_o to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n i_o be_o as_o confident_a that_o no_o learned_a lawyer_n will_v affirm_v that_o any_o charge_n can_v be_v bring_v against_o the_o king_n since_o they_o all_o go_v forth_o under_o his_o name_n and_o it_o be_v one_o of_o their_o axiom_n that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v any_o injury_n moreover_o the_o law_n on_o which_o you_o do_v ground_n your_o process_n be_v either_o old_a or_o new_a if_o it_o be_v old_a show_v that_o law_n unto_o i_o if_o it_o be_v new_a tell_v i_o what_o authority_n establish_v by_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o this_o land_n do_v give_v it_o birth_n and_o when_o but_o how_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o can_v erect_v a_o tribunal_n of_o justice_n which_o be_v never_o one_o itself_o as_o all_o lawyer_n will_v confess_v with_o i_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n and_o to_o the_o world_n to_o judge_v and_o it_o will_v seem_v most_o strange_a to_o any_o who_o ever_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o law_n of_o england_n how_o they_o can_v pretend_v to_o make_v law_n without_o either_o the_o king_n or_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v admit_v but_o not_o grant_v that_o a_o commission_n from_o the_o people_n of_o england_n be_v able_a to_o confirm_v your_o pretend_a power_n yet_o i_o see_v nothing_o that_o you_o can_v show_v for_o it_o for_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o you_o never_o ask_v that_o question_n of_o the_o 10_o man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n in_o this_o method_n you_o do_v a_o most_o apparent_a injury_n even_o to_o the_o poor_a ploughman_n if_o you_o ask_v not_o his_o consent_n neither_o can_v you_o pretend_v any_o coluor_n to_o this_o your_o pretend_a commission_n if_o you_o have_v not_o the_o concur_v voice_n of_o at_o least_o the_o great_a part_n of_o this_o nation_n of_o every_o degree_n and_o quality_n which_o you_o be_v so_o far_o from_o obtain_v that_o i_o be_o confident_a you_o never_o so_o much_o as_o seek_v it_o you_o see_v then_o that_o i_o do_v not_o only_o speak_v for_o my_o own_o right_n as_o i_o be_o your_o king_n but_o also_o for_o the_o true_a liberty_n of_o all_o my_o subject_n which_o confi_v not_o in_o divide_v the_o power_n of_o government_n but_o in_o live_v under_o such_o law_n and_o such_o a_o government_n as_o may_v grant_v they_o the_o best_a security_n of_o their_o life_n and_o the_o propriety_n of_o their_o good_n in_o this_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v forgetful_a neither_o do_v i_o forget_v the_o privilege_n of_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n which_o these_o proceed_n do_v not_o only_o violate_v but_o give_v a_o occasion_n of_o the_o great_a break_v of_o the_o public_a faith_n and_o such_o i_o believe_v as_o the_o like_a be_v never_o hear_v of_o before_o with_o which_o i_o will_v not_o at_o all_o charge_v both_o house_n for_o the_o pretend_a crime_n which_o they_o impose_v upon_o i_o be_v far_o before_o the_o treaty_n at_o newport_n in_o which_o when_o i_o assent_v to_o and_o do_v conclude_v as_o much_o as_o possible_o lay_v in_o my_o power_n and_o do_v just_o expect_v the_o assent_n of_o both_o house_n i_o be_v sudden_o take_v from_o thence_o and_o carry_v a_o way_n as_o a_o prisoner_n and_o against_o my_o will_n i_o be_v hurry_v hither_o and_o since_o i_o come_v to_o this_o court_n i_o can_v with_o all_o my_o endeavour_n defend_v the_o ancient_a law_n and_o liberty_n of_o this_o kingdom_n together_o with_o my_o just_a privilege_n and_o as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v possible_o discern_v the_o upper_a house_n which_o be_v the_o house_n of_o lord_n be_v total_o exclude_v and_o as_o for_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o it_o be_v to_o much_o know_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v either_o imprison_v or_o affright_v from_o fit_v so_o that_o if_o i_o have_v no_o other_o cause_n this_o be_v sufficient_a enough_o to_o make_v i_o protest_v against_o the_o authority_n of_o your_o pretend_a tribunal_n beside_o all_o these_o thing_n the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v not_o the_o least_o part_n of_o my_o care_n and_o what_o hope_n can_v there_o be_v of_o establish_v it_o as_o long_o as_o power_n reign_v without_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n change_v the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o government_n under_o which_o this_o kingdom_n have_v flourish_v these_o many_o age_n neither_o will_v i_o speak_v what_o be_v likely_a to_o follow_v if_o these_o unlawful_a proceed_n shall_v yet_o continue_v against_o i_o for_o i_o believe_v the_o commons_o of_o england_n will_v give_v you_o no_o thanks_n for_o this_o change_n especial_o when_o they_o shall_v call_v into_o their_o mind_n how_o happy_o they_o heretofore_o have_v
