A80251	The Commons dis-deceiver: touching their deceitfull delatory evasions of a desired speedy treaty with the King; the onely expedient for a wished and happy peace in the kingdome. Containing 1. Answers to the reasons of the Commons, which they gave the Lords (at a conference July 25. 1648.) against a treaty. 2. Reasons why the Commons, rather then the Lords, are against a treaty. 3. Reasons to shew that it is safer and better, even for the Commons, to adventure on a treaty, then to hazard a new warre.		1648 (1648)	Wing C5574; Thomason E457_3; ESTC R204960	11,269	15

appearance_n of_o help_n and_o relief_n as_o now_o he_o have_v 2_o because_o he_o know_v the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n have_v protest_v against_o his_o so_o sign_v these_o proposition_n and_o that_o the_o then_o protestation_n be_v now_o again_o avow_v in_o the_o late_a declaration_n of_o their_o estate_n to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o their_o kingdom_n 3_o because_o the_o english_a lord_n in_o this_o parliament_n have_v give_v &_o publish_v many_o strong_a and_o unanswerable_a reason_n against_o the_o send_v these_o proposition_n before_o the_o treaty_n wherein_o they_o concur_v both_o with_o the_o king_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n 4_o because_o not_o only_o the_o city_n of_o london_n but_o the_o great_a and_o most_o considerable_a county_n profession_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n in_o this_o kingdom_n join_v in_o the_o press_v a_o speedy_a treaty_n without_o relation_n to_o the_o proposition_n 5_o because_o the_o premit_v these_o proposition_n be_v urge_v and_o prosecute_v main_o if_o not_o only_o by_o one_o faction_n or_o party_n and_o be_v not_o second_v but_o by_o those_o who_o be_v interest_v by_o place_n of_o profit_n and_o honour_n or_o by_o fear_n of_o come_v to_o a_o account_n or_o after_o reckon_n 6_o because_o these_o two_o last_o party_n though_o join_v in_o one_o yet_o can_v by_o the_o hundred_o part_n answer_v the_o number_n and_o power_n of_o those_o who_o will_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o oppose_v they_o in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n 2._o and_o let_v those_o who_o be_v apt_a to_o engage_v in_o a_o new_a war_n know_v that_o as_o the_o fortune_n and_o success_n of_o all_o even_o the_o best_a war_n be_v doubtful_a so_o that_o the_o event_n of_o this_o at_o least_o on_o their_o part_n be_v most_o hazardous_a because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o desire_n the_o safety_n and_o good_a of_o three_o kingdom_n all_o which_o will_v first_o or_o last_o join_v together_o to_o maintain_v their_o own_o desire_a safety_n and_o good_a against_o that_o party_n who_o ever_o who_o plot_n design_n and_o art_n so_o evident_o appear_v tend_v to_o the_o confusion_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n 3._o but_o grant_v that_o the_o party_n who_o be_v for_o a_o war_n rather_o than_o a_o treaty_n shall_v in_o a_o battle_n or_o two_o get_v the_o better_a yet_o can_v they_o conceive_v that_o hereby_o the_o war_n be_v end_v or_o that_o a_o peace_n indemnity_n or_o safety_n be_v conclude_v on_o their_o part_n no_o rather_o this_o will_v stir_v up_o and_o inflame_v the_o people_n in_o three_o kingdom_n to_o more_o hot_a and_o bloody_a war_n and_o these_o must_v necessary_o draw_v on_o a_o decay_n of_o trade_n a_o waste_n of_o the_o wealth_n and_o man_n and_o thereby_o hazard_v the_o ruin_n of_o this_o kingdom_n for_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o three_o kingdom_n or_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o will_v rest_v and_o lie_v down_o to_o suffer_v the_o tyranny_n of_o one_o faction_n or_o party_n because_o it_o have_v once_o or_o twice_o overcome_v they_o in_o battle_n 4._o whereas_o if_o this_o party_n who_o be_v for_o a_o war_n rather_o than_o a_o treaty_n shall_v but_o once_o be_v overcome_v and_o scatter_v in_o any_o one_o pitch_a field_n or_o battle_n it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o they_o shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o rise_v recruit_v again_o and_o to_o stand_v in_o battle_n against_o all_o their_o opponent_n in_o three_o kingdom_n who_o will_v be_v as_o careful_a to_o keep_v they_o as_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o beat_v they_o down_o 5._o and_o if_o this_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v once_o beat_v &_o scatter_v 1_o then_o in_o what_o danger_n may_v they_o be_v who_o have_v plot_v foment_v and_o maintain_v this_o war_n 2_o in_o what_o case_n will_v all_o the_o monopilizer_n of_o office_n and_o place_n of_o profit_n be_v 3_o in_o what_o state_n will_v not_o only_o the_o excise_n and_o committee-man_n be_v of_o the_o several_a county_n but_o even_o they_o of_o the_o two_o house_n for_o the_o many_o insufferable_a injury_n and_o oppression_n lay_v on_o their_o fellow_n subject_n 4_o how_o may_v it_o fare_v with_o all_o those_o who_o without_o any_o account_n have_v for_o so_o many_o year_n together_o ingross_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o wealth_n of_o this_o rich_a kingdom_n 5_o yea_o may_v it_o not_o be_v fear_v that_o not_o only_o the_o bill_n which_o in_o this_o parliament_n may_v have_v be_v yield_v unto_o but_o those_o act_n already_o pass_v may_v suffer_v question_n opposition_n or_o a_o repeal_n as_o be_v obtain_v by_o fraud_n or_o force_n 6_o nay_o may_v it_o not_o hereafter_o weaken_v the_o honour_n privilege_n and_o power_n of_o parliament_n for_o ever_o when_o the_o power_n of_o this_o shall_v be_v conquer_v by_o the_o sword_n 6._o all_o which_o fear_n and_o danger_n may_v ready_o be_v take_v away_o by_o act_n of_o pardon_n and_o oblivion_n and_o these_o may_v as_o easy_o be_v obtain_v and_o grant_v by_o a_o free-treaty_n i_o add_v by_o a_o free-treaty_n for_o if_o the_o king_n can_v obtain_v liberty_n nor_o a_o treaty_n unless_o he_o first_o sign_n the_o proposition_n then_o neither_o will_v this_o sign_v the_o proposition_n be_v of_o force_n to_o bind_v he_o he_o be_v not_o at_o liberty_n at_o the_o time_n of_o sign_v nor_o can_v the_o treaty_n itself_o be_v
