Not prevalent surely for the Parliament was soon after Dissolved and the House of Commons having Intimation of their intended Dissolution made what hast they could to perfect a Remonstrance or Declaration against the Duke of Buckingham and concerning Tunnage and Poundage taken by the King since his Fathers death without consent in Parliament and which were never payable they say in their Remonstrance to any of his Majesties Ancestors but only by a special Act of Parliament and ought not to be levyed without such an Act. Tant And did the King go on Collecting and taking Tunnage and Poundage notwithstanding Tory. Yes he said he could not want it and sent them a former Message that if He had not a timely supply He would betake himself to New Councils Tant New Councils what were they Tory. The Commons in their said Remonstrance often with thoughtful Hearts remember the words New-Councils repeating and Repeating them as if they were somewhat against the old Parliamentary Councils and course of this Kingdom and they Order'd every Member of the House to have a Copy of the said Remonstrance for they had not time to Present it to his Gracious Majesty but were Dissolv'd though the Lords also prepared a Petition to stay the Kings purpose in Dissolving the Parliament sending Viscount Mandevil Earl of Manchester Lord President of his Majesties Council the Earls of Pembrook Carlisle and Holland to entreat his Majesty to give Audience to the whole House of Peers But the King returned Answer that his Resolution was to hear no motion for that purpose but He would Dissolve the Parliament and he was then as good as his Word for he immediately Dissolved them by Commission under the great Seal Dated at Westminster June 15.2 R. R. Car. 1. 1626. To that purpose And withall Publishes a Declaration in Print concerning the Grounds and Causes which moved his Majesty to Dissolve this as also the former Parliament Dated June 13. 2 Car. 1. two dayes before the Date of the Commission Tant It was the readyer against the time of using it Coleman was as provident Tory. Right And also a Proclamation was published against the said Remonstrance of the Commons commanding all Persons of what Quality soever who have or shall have hereafter any Copyes or Notes of the said Remonstrance forthwith to Burn the same that the Memory thereof might be utterly abolished upon Pain of his Majesties Indignation and high Displeasure Tant Then the Tide did run very high Tory. The King also Published another Proclamation against Preaching or Disputing the Arminian Controversies Pro or Con but the effects of that Proclamation how equally soever intended became the stopping of the Puritan's Mouths and an uncontroul'd Liberty to the Tongues and Pens of the thriving Divinity-men the rising side Mountagues Party And though the Parliament was Dissolv'd so that the Duke of Buckingham for that nearly-reflecting Article the last against him which the King in Honour and by the Bonds of natural Affection and Piety to the Memory of his Deceased Father thought himself obliged to Call him to a publick account for so Daring an Insolence in applying a Plaister to the Kings breast against his Will and without the Advice and contrary to the Opinion of the Sworn Physitians of King James who attributed the Cause of his trouble unto the said Pla●●●●● and a Drink that Buckingham gave him as was Alledged in the Thirteenth Article of the Dukes Impeachment and the said Drink twice given to the King by Buckingham's own Hands and a third time refused by the King who felt great Impairment of his Life and Health complaining of the Drink that the Duke gave him His Physitians telling him to Please him and Comfort him that His second Impairment was from cold taken or some other ordinary Cause No no said his Majesty It is that which I had from Buckingham as more at large much aggravated and insisted upon by Mr. Wandesford who managed the Thirteenth Article of the Impeachment against Buckingham Tant But what

obligation of his Coronation Oath and Magna Charta Tant But did the Pope absolve him and let him loose and free from his Oath and the Laws Tory. Yes he did for the Pope was a Native of Burdeaux Born in King Edward's Domnions but yet he would not acquit him of his Oath and Obligation to his Subjects and his own Conscience 'till the King sent his Holiship all manner of Vessels belonging to a Chamber made of pure Gold and then the Pope untied the King from the Covenant made with his Subjects concerning their Charters Confirmed unto them by his last three Acts of Parliament Tant Has the Pope power to do these things Whigg Yes Fools think so and Knaves would perswade others to think so the King and the Pope got by it but the poor English Subjects paid for all Tant But did not the King pay part of the Reckoning Whigg No doubt on 't King Edward 1. made a shift with much Bickering to rub through and come to his Grave in Peace dying on his fair Death but his Son Edw. 2. that followed his Fathers steps when he could or durst had not the Wit or else not the Luck to manage the Feat so well poor Rehoboam for he was Deposed by the Parliament or rather was perswaded to Depose himself lest his Son also should be Excluded from the Crown for so they threatned and to make a King of another Race Thus he lost his Kingdom no Blow struck no Battel Fought done forcibly and yet without force violently and yet with Consent Tant Then surely he had first lost the Hearts of his People Whigg You may be assured of it for at first his Subjects refused to suffer him to be Crowned unless he would remove Gaveston from the Court and Kingdom which dampt King Edward's Spirit especially many of his great Friends being then at Court witnesses of his Disgrace as Charles of Valois the Queens Unkle and Brother to her Father Philip the Fair the French King the Dukes of Brittain and Brabant the Count of Luxemburg who was afterwards Emperour the Duke of Savoy the Dutchesses of Brabant and Artois with many other Princes and great Ladies so that the King solemnly Swore he would do what they desired in the next Parliament so they would be quiet now and thereupon the Coronation went on Tant Could not so many Forreign Princes and so powerful Encourage the King to repel with force his Subjects Insolence Whigg Insolence Oh Brave Tantivee What would have become of thee if thou hadst liv'd in these dayes to have an answer in Parliament for your Tantivee-principles so Discrepant from and Inconsistent with our English-frame Constitution and Fundamental Laws Tant Why were Parliaments so Malapert in those dayes Whigg Malapert Hey day what again in your Tantivee-strain you have got the Language of some late Addressers that take upon them to Judge the highest Court and Council of the Kingdom the Parliament Tant In your Opinion you mean the Highest Council Whigg Dare you say to the contrary whatever you think Tant I durst if I were sure never to live to see another Parliament Whigg Ay thou art a good one but the Parliament as soon as they met drew Articles of their Grievances which though seeming Harsh to the King yet for avoiding further Inconvenience he yielded unto them Tant Inconvenience What Inconvenience they were Subjects and Christians in those dayes and had no weapons but prayers and tears which can bring no great Inconvenience if a man resolve to be hard-hearted Whig No thou I believe art Prayer-proof but King Edward 2. remembred well that in his stout Fathers time the Parliament met at London Octob. 10. Non tamen nudi not naked and unarm'd but immò cum quingentis equis armatis multitudine magnâ peditum Electorum with five hundred Horse and a vast number of choice Foot Induxerunt etiam cives Londoniarum ut pro recuperandis libertatibus secum starent The Citizens of London were brought to stand up with them for the recovery of their Charters and Liberties Comitibus itaque Baronibus pariter conglobatis confederatis necnon majoritate populi eis inclinante several Lords and Barons confederating and leaguing solemnly together with the majority of the common-people Inclining to their side Tant What against the King Whig No for the Ling against evil Councellors that seduc'd the King against his Oath his Conscience Religion and Law And the Historian Hen. Knighton gives the reason of this general Confederacy quia communem profectum utilitatem amplectebatur communes diligebant eos fortiter because the Conlederates or Covenanters stood for the common benefit and common-weal and the Laws therefore the People lov'd them mightily and voluntarily accompanyed their Parliament-men to London with horse and Arms at their own charge Nay 't is a wonder that any man that had an English heart in his Belly could be a fawning Spaniel-like Tantivee some French Bastard sure Tant But what said the King to his armed Parliamentarians Whig Said he did instead of saying any thing his duty and confirmed their Charters and Liberties so often confirmed and so often wickedly and illegally broken and encroach't upon but King Edward 1. was loath to confirm their Charters except with this clause salvo Jure Coronae nostrae saving the Rights of our Crown But the People would not by any means admit that saving and Exception so that the King confirm'd them as formerly as K. Charles 1. after a long Tugg in the House of Lords consented to the Petition of Right without the saving or leaving intire that Sovereign power wherewith c. Whereupon sayes Mr. Noy To adde a saving is not safe And sayes Mr. Alford Let us look into the Records and see what they are what is Sovereign power Bodin saith That is free from any condition by this we shall acknowledge a Regal as well as a Legal Power let us give that to the King that the Law gives him and no more Tory. There spoke a Whigg Whigg True so Mr. Pym added I know how to adde Sovereign to his Person but not to his Power Also We cannot leave to him a sovereign power Also We never were possessed of it Tory. Our King God bless him does not pretend to absolute and arbitrary Power Whig Sovereign power cannot be invested in any thing that is not Omnipotent And the great Oracle of the Law added that the saving or leaving intire the sovereign Power c. will overthrow all our Petition of Right It trenches to all the Parts of it It flyes at Loans and at the Oath and at Imprisonment and Billeting of Souldiers This turns all about again I know that Prerogative is part of the Law but Sovereign Power is no Parliamentary word In my opinion it weakens Magna Charta and all our Statutes for they are absolute without any saving of Sovereign Power take we heed what we yield unto
