A56414	The Parliament arraigned, convicted, wants nothing but execution wherein you may evidently discern all the blessed fruits of their seven years session tending to the dishonour of God, the ruin of the Church of Christ in this kingdom, the vnkinging of His Majesty, the destruction of our laws, the erection of tyranny, and the perpetual bondage of a free-born people / written by Tom Tyranno-Mastix alias Mercvrivs Melancholicvs ...

shall cry continually against this cursed Horse-leech that hath gorged himself with me so full that he hath spewed me up again till the Earth hath been made as drunk with me as the Sword from the Blood of Strafford to the Blood of 100000 Innocents Canterbury Tomkins Challenor Burley the King's Messenger the Surrey-Men and an infinite many more that have been barbarously and inhumanely slain for their Allegiance and Fidelity to their Royal Sovereign nay my Lord they are so Insatiate that nothing can quench their Thirsts but Royal Blood the Blood of the King and all his Royal Progeny in which he would wash his Hands if possibly he could attain to his Ends so that the whole Earth is filled with Blood and Violence Father against Son Brother against Brother and one Friend against another Tho' Cursed is he that shall slay an innocent Person and all the People shall say Amen Deut. xxix 25. The Land that sheddeth innocent Blood innocent Blood shall be upon it Deut. xix 10. And Innocent Blood the Lord will not pardon 2 Kin. xxiv 4. Yet my Lord this Traytor hath made a Trade of shedding innocent Blood and doth still to this Day Clerk Wid. Sighs Stand up What can you say for the King against the Prisoner at the Bar Wid. Sighs My Lord my Heart and a Thousand more are so broke with weeping for the Death of our Husbands and dear Children whose Lives this Traytor hath taken away that we cannot speak more for weeping but still cry out for Vengeance against this Parricide this bloody Murderer Clerk Orph. Tears Stand up What can'st thou say for the King against the Prisoner at the Bar Orp. Tears My Lord I lost my Father by this cruel Traytor and so have many Thousands of us and have cried unto Heaven for Vengeance against him that is all I could do or can say Clerk Publ. Faith Stand up What can'st thou say for the King against the Prisoner at the Bar Publ. Faith My Lord he hath been the Confusion of me I could recount innumerable Tricks to drain the People and to milk their Purses of their Money as the free Loans and Contributions upon poor Publick Faith amounting to vast and incredible Sums Money Plate Horses and Arms Bodkins Thimbles Wedding-Rings c. and a thousand more that he hath used to enslave the People Clerk Soldiers Conscience Stand up and give Evidence for the King against the Prisoner at the Bar Cryer Call Soldiers Conscience Cryer Soldiers Conscience Soldiers Conscience Come into the Court and give Evidence for the King against the Prisoner at the Bar or else you forfeit your Recognizance Clerk My Lord he is slipt away being afraid to appear in the Face of the Court 't is likely he is a party with the Prisoner Righ Judge There be Witnesses enough without him Masters of the Jury you hear what is prov'd against him how traiterous he hath been against God his King and Country against the fundamental Laws of the Kingdom in that he hath renounced his sworn Allegiance when it is declar'd 3 Jac. cap. 4. That if any Person shall put in Practice to absolve persuade or withdraw any of his Majesty's Subjects from their Obedience to his Majesty his Heirs or Successors or move them or any of them to promise Obedience to any other Prince State or Potentate that then every such Person their Procurers Counsellors Aiders and Maintainers shall be adjudged Traytors None can deny but the Head is over the Members and not the Members over the Head all Subjects being to perform both Active and Passive Obedience to their lawful King as the Members to the Head in all Causes at all Times and in all Places But this Prisoner Mr. Parliament is notorious Guilty for the King being Head Beginning and End of a Parliament and no Act can be made without the King's Assent therefore this Parliament standeth guilty of Perjury by encroaching upon the Jurisdictions belonging to the King and hath falsified their Faith by voting That no more Addresses should be made to him or Messages receiv'd from him No Law can make a Servant to be above or greater than his Master nor a Subject greater than his King for the King having an undoubted Right to the Crown and being his lawful Sovereign and his Allegiance being due unto his Natural Person both by the Law of God Nature and the Law of the Land recogniz'd and acknowledg'd by former Parliaments in all Ages confirm'd by undeniable Authorities in Law upon Record that evidently proves that his Allegiance is due unto his Natural Person by the Law of God Nature and the Law of the Land and can neither be abjured released or renounced being inseparable from the Person of the King and indispensably due from the Prisoner to his Majesty Therefore any reasonable Man may conclude that Mr. Parliament hath perjur'd himself in withdrawing his Allegiance from his Liege Lord the King which is directly against the Law of the Land and hath moreover falsified his Faith and Allegiance to his King God's Anointed and crowned his natural Liege Lord Sovereign and lawful King both by Descent Coronation Investure and undoubted Right which by the Law of the Land is due unto him from all his Subjects every one of them having taken this following Oath To be true and faithful to their Sovereign Lord K. Charles and his Heirs and Faith and Truth shall bear to him of Life and Member and Honour And you shall neither know nor hear of any Ill or Damage intended unto him that you shall not declare So help you God Now pray mark it Jury you are to consider Whether this Prisoner hath any Power against the King or whether the King hath not Power to hang him for his most detestable Treachery against his Person in betraying it to Prison against the Law of God Nature and the Law of the Land the Closlier to murder and make him away as may more evidently appear by the Examinations upon Oath of Mr. Osburn and Dowcet against Rolf that should have been the accursed Instrument to make him away either by Poison or Pistolling or otherwise The King hath no Supreme but God alone and it is sufficient Punishment for him because he must expect God to be the Revenger if he commits any Wrong for every Man is under the King and the King under none but God alone he is not inferior to his Subjects he hath no Peer in his Realm he hath the sole Government of his Subjects Therefore Mr. Parliament thou hearest what is objected against thee thou hast now Liberty to answer for thy self Guilty or Not Guilty Parl. My Lord I little weigh what any of these can say against me and am so far from acknowledging the least Circumstances objected against me that I utterly deny all and claim my Privilege Judge Thou art quite past Shame and Grace and surely given thy self to the Devil else thou could'●t never have the Face to deny the least
