My Lords I Shall desire to be heard speake a few wordes which I would much rather have heard spoken by any of your Lordships that so they might have a happier and a more handsome expression though with a better heart and clearer intentions they could not have beene spoken The sad condition wee are now in my Lords is such as is too apparent to any man who hath but halfe an eye the City of London is full of jealousies apprehensions wee fit not here free from feares the King hath with-drawne himselfe from hence together with his Queene and children out of a beleife as I conceive that his Majesties Person was not fafe here While things continue in this posture say Lords wee may well feare an impairing wee can ●●rdly hope for the bettering of affaires God h●● plac●●s my Lords in the Medium betwixt the King and his people let us play our parts my Lords let us doe our duties and discharge our consciences let us really prove what wee are by Name Noblemen let us endeavour to work a perfect and a true understanding betweene the King and his people let us freely unbosome out selves to his Majesty and desire that his Majesty will be pleased to doe so to us and to this end my Lords which is the end of my motion if it shall be approved of by your Lordships I do humbly move that by way of conference or any other way wee may desire the House of Commons to joyne with us first in an humble petition to his Majesty that he would be graciously pleased to returne to his good City of London as the safest place we conceive for his sacred Person in these distemperd times and then that they will likewise joyne with us in a Profession or Protestation that we will doe what in us lies to free his Majesty from his feares to take from the Citizens of London and his Majesties other subjects their jealousies and apprehensions and that we will live and dye his Maiesties faithfull advisors counsellors and Loyall Subiects The Humble Petition of the In habitants of the County of Buckingham In the behalfe of Master Hampden Knight for the said County and of the rest of the members of Parliament accused by his Majestie of High Treason Sheweth THat your petioners having by vertue of your highnes writ chosen Iohn Hampden Esquire Knight for our Shire in whose loyalty and wisedome we his Countreymen and Neighbours have ever had good cause to coufide how ever of late to our no lesse amazement then greife wee finde him with other members of Parliament accused of Treason and having taken to our serious consideration the manner of their impeachments we cannot but under your Maiesties favour conceive that it doth so oppugne the rights of Parliaments to the miaintenance whereof our Protestation bind us That we beleive it is the malice which their zeale to your Maiesties service and the State hath contracted in the enewies to your Maiesty the Church and common wealth hath occasioned this fowle accusation rather then any defert of theirs who doe likewise through their sides wound the iudgement and care of us your Petitioners and others by whose choice they were presented to the House Your petitioners most humbly pray that Master Hampden and the rest that lye under the burden of that accusation may enjoy the Iust priviledges of Parliament And your Petitioners will ever pray c. His Maiesties answer At the Court at Windsor the 13 th of Ianuary 1642. HIs Maiesty being graciously pleased to let all his Subiects understand his care not knowingly to violate in the least degree any of the Priviledges of Parliament hath therefore lately by a Message sent by the Lord Keeper signified That he is pleased because of the doubt that hath beene raised of the manner to waive his former proceedings against the said Master Hampden and the rest mentioned in this Petition concerning whom his Maiesty intends to proceed in an unquestionable way And then his Maiesty saith it will appeare that hee had so sufficient grounds to question them as hee might not in Iustice to the Kingdome and honour to himselfe have forborne and yet his Maiesty had much rather that the said persons should prove innocent then be found guilty how ever hee cannot conceive that their crimes can in any sort reflect upon those his good Subiects who elected them to serve in Parliament The Humble Petition of the Knights Gentlemen Clargy and other Inhabitants of the County of Sommerset Sheweth THat having with great ioy of mind often heard of the pious inclination of this Honourable Assembly unto the Reformation of Church Government and having of late not without some regret seene a Petition in the name of the Knights Gentlemen and others of this County tending most to the Confirmation of Episcopall power We have thought it our duty likewise to rouse up our affection unto Gods cause and in all humility to lay these expressions thereof at the feet of this great Councell as being under God the chiefe Arbitrator betweene our ioy and sorrow FOr the present Church Government of what right it is wee may not dispute presuming it to be subiect to the power of this Honourable assembly Neither doth it much import how ancient it is or how neere the Apostles dayes seeing we know that in the dayes of the Apostles themselves the mystery of iniquity began to worke and that by the efficatious operation of the same the man of sinne hath advanced himselfe from the Episcopall chaire to the top of Antichristian Tyranny But that this Government is the wifest and most pious that any people hath been blest withall since the Apostles days what ever others may beleeve we presume is no part of the Creed of this great councell whose godly zeale in purging the corruptions and punishing the enemie of the true Church being already in part made manifest doth give us rather a inst cause to hope that God hath yet some further blessing of Reformation for us to be wrought by the same hands In prosecution whereof if it shall enter into your hearts at this time to give a deadly wound unto that power
