cheife Power in the two Houses of Parliament as is alleaged by his Majesty There are I know other Propositions concerning Delinquents but subordinate to those that tend to the alteration of Government Their Propositions concerning Delinquents Their Delinquents being only such as are enemies to their Cause and have from time to time opposed their proceedings against the King and against the present Government as appeares plainly by their Ordinances concerning Delinquents and by the Catalogue of Delinquents delivered in at the Treaties and inserted amongst their Propositions And they prosecute them not in a Judiciary and Parliamentary way as Legall offenders but in a Military and Hostile way as an adverse party Opposite to them and their Designe Now whether these Gentlemen be Delinquents or no shall be shewed afterward upon stating the warre on both sides Delinquency being not where the Cause is just and the warre lawfull but where the Cause and the warre are unjust and unlawfull that is the Delinquent Party Their Propositions concerning Papists I have omitted Their Propositions concerning Papists because the King assented to them And how did they take up Armes for the defence of our Religion against Popery Concerning our Liberties they proposed nothing No Proposition concerning our Liberty all the Grievances set forth by the Lords in their Petition presented to his Majesty at Yorke being remedied by severall Acts at the beginning of this Parliament And how then did they take up Armes for defence of our Liberties against Tyranny Also there is nothing proposed concerning our Lawes their whole proceedings being against Lawe An observation of the Kings Commissioners at Uxbridge eyther against the twenty fift of Edward the third in point of Treason against the King Or against Magna Charta and the Petition of Right in point of oppression of the Subject As also by their Orders The two Houses and each House and their Committees stop the proceedings of the Courts of Justice in Suites of Lawe betweene Man and Man And so the Kings Commissioners at the Treaty at Uxbridge observed That after a warre of neere foure yeeres for which the defence of the Protestant Religion The liberty and property of the Subject and the priviledges of Parliament were made the cause and ground in a Treaty of twenty daies nor indeede in the whole Propositions upon which the Treaty should be there hath been nothing offered to be Treated concerning the breach of any Law or of the Liberty and Property of the Subject or Priviledge of Parliament but only Propositions for the altering of a Government established by Lawe and for the makeing new Lawes by which all the old are or may bee cancelled The Kings Propositions The Kings Propositions For his Revenues Magazine c. THAT his Majesties owne Revenue Magazine Townes Forts and Ships which have beene taken or kept from him by force bee forthwith restored unto him For maintayning the Lawes of the Land the kings Legall Power Right For the Liberty of the Subject against illegall Power That whatsoever hath beene done or published contrary to the knowne Lawes of the Land or derogatorie to his Majesties Legall and known Power and Right be renounced and recalled that no seede may remaine for the like to spring out for the future That whatsoever illegall power hath beene claimed and exercised over his Subjects as imprisoning their persons without Lawe stopping their Habeas corpus and imposing upon their estates without Act of Parliament eyther by both or eyther House or any Committee of both or eyther or by any persons appointed by any of them bee disclaymed and all such persons so Committed forthwith discharged That as his Majesty will readily consent having done so heretofore to the execution of all Lawes already made Against Popery and to any good Act to be made for the suppressing of Popery and for the firme setling the Protestant Religion by Lawe established So he desires that a good Bill may bee framed for the better preferring of the booke of Common-Prayer from the scorne and violence of Brownists For the booke of Common Prayer Anabaptists and other Sectaries with such clauses for the ease of tender Consciences as his Majesty hath formerly offered That all such persons as upon the Treaty shall be excepted out of rhe generall Pardon shall be tryed per Pares For the tryall of Delinquents according to the usuall course and known Lawes of the Land and that it be left to that eyther to acquit or condemne them Now the question is A quere upon the Kings Propositions whether these Propositions considered the King doth truely take up Armes and continue them to maintaine our Religion Lawes and Liberties against Popery and Tyranny as is aleaged by his Majesty or to overthrow them as is alleaged by the two houses of Parliament But the Lords and Commons pleade for themselves finally That they tooke up Armes and continue them The final Plea of the Lords Commons retorted to prosecute their Propositions only in Order to the defence of our Religion Lawes and Liberties Or rather they tooke Armes and continue them for the defence of our Religion Lawes and Liberties only in Grder to the prosecution of these their Propositions and of their Designe Seeing they will not acquiesce in his Majesties which are directly and apparently for the establishing of our Religion Lawes and Liberties against Popery and Tyranny but offer and presse their owne Propositions to the overthrow of our Religion by Lawe established and of the established Government of Church and State Besides before Armes were taken up his Majesty was pleased to recede from his Right touching Forts The King recedes from his Right from the● rigour of his Propositions and Castles and the Militia and he condiscended to them in divers other particulars touching their nineteene Proposititions thereby if possible to have prevented the Warre amongst us And after that Armes were taken up and the kingdome embroyled in Warre to prevent the further mischiefes thereof his Majesty was pleased to recede from the rigour of his Propositions and at the Treaty at Uxbridge by his Commissioners he would have complyed in severall particulars touching the Bishops and the Deans and Chapters and he would have trusted them with the Militia for two yeeres and afterward by a Message from Oxford he graciously condescended 1.
