Declaration and another time expunged it may the next day obtain the like or worse upon any occasions wherein it may serve their private ends or interests if they continue in the same power and sway and be let pass in deluding and surprising the Parliament as they have done in the past particulars 3. The apparant dishonour and prejudice brought upon the Parliament in having such a Declaration so passed as they should soon after without any alteration in the pretended ground of it finde cause for shame of the world to expunge we think should engage those Members in point of honour to finde out and discover how and by whom the Parliament had been abused or otherwise brought into such an inconveniency and the Parliament may in this see the temper as by-standers do the prevolence of those members that abused the Parliament in that Declaration who will and can make the authority of Parliament to lie under the dishonour of it in a bare expunging or retracting rather then admit any consideration to acquit the Authority of Parliamant that will tend to fix the blame on those particular Members that had deserved it and this certainly would be admitted and done rather then to slight it over with a bare expunging were not some men more tender of and more swayed with such considerations and consequences as may tend to the prejudice of Persons then such as tend to the general prejudice and dishonour of Parliaments 4. As to those particulars included in our Charge which depend on things done without the Parliament we are ready and should most willingly proceed to the particular charging and proving thereof if first from the Justice of the House in a present proceeding against the persons charged for those things that are already known to the House being done in it we could finde encouragement to expect any good issue upon those other things and did we not on the contrary finde that notwithstanding what is so known to the House as before exprest the same persons continue in such power and prevalency both in the House and in all the Comittees of the highest trust as leaves little hopes of Right or Satisfaction to the Army or Kingdom in other things and much lesse in any just proceedings against themselves while they continue Judg●s of their own and our Concernments So as we cannot while they remain in the same power expect any thing but a continued perverting and making advantage of all things and especially of those delays which a regular proceeding against them would necessarily endure altogether to our own and the Kingdoms prejudice and danger to disable or weaken us for those things which the safety and se●ling the Rights Liberties and Peace of the Kingdom requires and to strengthen themselves by under-hand-practices and preparations at home and abroad the better to oppose us and to engage the Kingdom in a new War thereby to accomplish their desires or at least to save themselves from Justice in a common Confusion We say Were it not for these and such other considerations that leave little hopes of Justice to our selves or the Kingdom while they continue in the same power and render all delays dangerous and destructive to our selves and the Peace of the Kingdom we should be contented that the businesse concerning the Members we have charged should be said aside till those other things were first setled which our Declaration does propound for the common Rights and Liberties of the Kingdom But finding things still so carried and that while they are Judges in their own causes they with that party which they make will do what they please and yet render it a breach of Priviledge to be amused for it as they are and we have before exprest we cannot upon all these Consderations and for all the Reasons before exprest insist upon it that the Members charged may first be forthwith suspended from si●ting in the House otherwise we cannot expect any fair proceeding against them upon a more particular Charge nor think there is any good intended to our selves or the Kingdom As to our desires of having the Army presently paid up equally with those that have deserted it we appeal to all men for the justice reasonablenesse and necessity thereof The Justice in that the former service for which those Arrears are due hath been at least as faithfully and diligently performed by the Army as by those late deserters of it and in our present posture though they have appeared indeed more officious or serviceable to the persons or wills of particular men then we yet we are sure the Army is and we hope will at last appear to be more faithful to the true interest of Parliaments and the Kingdom which we were at first called out and engaged for then they in diserting the Army have hitherto appeared For the reasonableness of our desires though we have grounds to claim more then they or rather that they or some of them should forfeit their arrears yet we ask for present but equal nor should we at present insist on that so much as to Officers if our souldiers were but first paid up our necessity to insist on that is obvious to every man and therefore unless we should betray our own and the Kingdoms cause we cannot but positively insist upon it that the army should forthwith be paid up at least equally to those deserters of it which if denyed or delayed we shall be thereby enforced upon present ways of remedy and right to the Army therein And whereas the Parliament hath lately ordered and publikely declared that all that shall desert the Army shall have present satisfaction in their arrears the Officers three moneths pay the souldiers all their arrears deducting for free quarter which still continues unrecalled we cannot but look upon it as a most cleer evidence of the continuing mal●ce and prevalence of ours and the Kingdoms enemies and we must and do insist upon it that that Order or Declaration may forthwith be publickly recalled otherwise we cannot believe that any thing but ruine and destruction is designed to our selves and all other in the Kingdom who every where call upon us not to disband till we see the Rights Liberties and Peace of the Kingdom setled according to the many Declarations by which we were first called forth and invited to engage in the late war Next we cannot but take notice that instead of granting or answering our desires in the last paper in order to the better and more safe proceeding to a composure and settlement of all things for the good and peace of the Kingdom and for prevention of any new war the Army being first commanded to forty miles distance from London his Majesties person is demanded immediately to Richmond House within eight miles of London which as we cannot but impute it to the prevailing interest of the same enemies to our and the Kingdoms peace so all men may easily discern with us how directly it tends in
