and their Liberties and Laws confounded and till then We shall not call on them to come in to Vs and to assist Vs. For the Delinquents whom We are said with an high and forcible hand to protect let them be named and their Delinquencie and if We give not satisfaction to Iustice when We shall have received satisfaction concerning Sir John Hotham by his legall Triall then let Vs be blamed But if the Designe be as it is well known to be after We have been driven by Force from Our City of London and kept by force from Our Town of Hull to protect all those who are Delinquents against Vs and to make all those Delinquents who attend on Vs or execute Our lawfull Commands We have great reason to be satisfied in the truth and justice of such Accusation lest to be Our servant and to be a Delinquent grow to be Termes so convertible that in a short time We be left as naked in attendance as they would have Vs in power and so compell Vs to be waited on onely by such whom they shall appoint and allow and in whose presence We should be more miserably alone then in desolation it self And if the seditious Contrivers and Fomenters of this Scandall upon Vs shall have as they have had the power to mis-lead the major Part present of either or both Houses to make such Orders and send such Messages and Messengers as they have lately done for the Apprehension of the great Earls and Barons of England as if they were Rogues or Felons And whereby persons of Honour and Quality are made Delinquents meerly for attending upon Vs and upon Our Summons whilest other men are forbid to come neer Vs though obliged by the Duty of their places and Oaths upon Our lawfull Commands It is no wonder if such Messengers are not very well entreated and such Orders not obeyed neither can there be a surer and a cunninger way found out to render the Authority of both Houses scorned and vilified then to assume to themselves meerly upon the Authority of the name of Parliament a Power monstrous to all understandings and to do Actions and to make Orders Evidently and Demonstrably contrary to all known Law and Reason As to take up Arms against Vs under colour of defending Vs To cause Money to be brought in to them and to forbid Our own Money to be paid to Vs or to Our use under colour that We will imploy it ill To beat Vs and sterve Vs for Our own good and by Our own Power and Authority which must in short time make the greatest Court and the greatest Person cheap and of no estimation Who those sensible Men are of the publike Calamities of the Violations of the Priviledges of Parliament and the Common Liberty of the Subject who have been baffled injured by Malignant men and Cavaliers about Vs We cannot imagine And if those Cavaliers are so much without the fear of God and Man and so ready to commit all manner of Outrage and violence as is pretended Our Government ought to be the more esteemed which hath kept them from doing so insomuch as We beleeve no person hath cause to complain of any injurie or of any dammage in the least degree by any man about or who hath offered his service to Vs All which being duely considered if the Contrivers of these Propositions and Orders had been truly sensible of the Obligation which lyes upon them in Honour Conscience and Dutie according to the high Trust reposed in them by Vs and Our People they would not have published such a sense and apprehension of imminent danger when themselves in their consciences know that the greatest and indeed only danger which threatens this Church and State the blessed Religion and Liberty of Our People is in their own desperate and seditious designes and would not endeavour upon such weak and groundlesse reasons to seduce Our good Subjects from their Affection and Loyalty to Vs to run themselves into Actions unwarrantable and destructive to the Peace and Foundation of the Com-wealth And that all Our loving Subjects may see how causelesse and groundlesse this scandalous Rumour and Imputation of Our raising War upon Our Parliament is We have with this Our Declaration caused to be Printed the Testimony of those Lords and other Persons of Our Councell who are here with Vs who being upon the Place could not but discover such Our Intentions and Preparations and cannot be suspected for their Honours and Interests to combine in such mischievous and horrid Resolutions And therefore We straightly charge and command all Our loving Subjects upon their Allegiance and as they will answer the contrary at their Perils That they yeeld no obedience or consent to the said Propositions and Orders and that they presume not under any such Pretences or by colour of any such Orders to raise or leavie any Horse or Men or to bring in any Money or Plate to such purpose But if notwithstanding this Cleer Declaration and Evidence of Our Intentions these Men whose Designe it is to compell Vs to raise War upon Our Parliament which all their skill and malice shall never be able to effect shall think fit by these Alarms to awaken Vs to a more necessary care of the defence of Our Self and Our people and shall themselves under colour of Defence in so unheard of a manner provide and seduce others to do so too to offend Vs having given Vs so lively Testimony of their Affections what they are willing to do when they have once made themselves able All Our good Subjects will think it necessary to look to Our Self And We do then excite all Our well affected people according to their Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacie and according to their solemn Vow and Protestation whereby they are obliged to defend Our Person Honour and Estate to contribute their best Assistance to the Preparations necessary for the opposing and suppressing of the Traiterous Attempts of such wicked and Malignant Persons who would destroy our Person Honour and Estate and engage the whole Kingdom in a Civill War to satisfie their own lawlesse Furie and Ambition and so rob Our good Subjects of the blessed fruit of this present Parliament which they already in some degree have and might still reap to the abundant satisfaction and joy of the whole Kingdom if such wicked hands were not ready to ruine all their possession and frustrate all their hopes We do therefore declare That whosoever of what degree or quality soever shall then upon so urgent and visible necessity of Ours and such an apparent distraction of the Kingdom caused and begotten by the malice contrivance of this Malignant partie bring in to Vs and Our use ready Money or Plate or shall underwrite to furnish any number of Horse Horse-men and Armes for the Preservation of the publike peace the defence of Our Person and the vindication of the Priviledge and Freedom of Parliament We shall
