London reseat them in their several Houses and return to quarter as before in the Countrey every day drawning further from London least they might seem to be a force upon the Parliament The Parliament now freed from tumults and the Heads of that Faction which had so long hindered Peace fled into parts beyond the Seas it was hoped that we might see an happy end of all our troubles The Parliament consider of Conditions of Peace to be sent to the King and accordingly send them to Hampton Court but he refuseth them and in hopes of doing mischief which is the ground-work of all his designes puts on a new disguise and goes to try his fortune in the Isle of Wight whither also they follow him with Propositions for Peace But he being vir sanguinum will have no Peace unless such an one as may put him into a capacity of being heavier upon the people then a continued War Hereupon the Parliament Vote no more Addresses to the King the Army hearing of their Vote ingage themselves to live and dye in maintaining it The eyes of all good men are now upon the Parliament hoping to see the Common-wealth settled in a short time But the Malignants having shaken hands with the Malignants jure divino contrive a new War which begins with Petitioning the Counties of Bucks Surrey Essex and Kent ply the Parliament with Malignant Petitions Wales without that formality flies into actual Rebellion This occasions the dividing of the Army to each party of which it pleased God to give such victory as that his own hand was more especially seen in every one of them The Army now wholly imployed the Malignant party of both Houses send divers of their Members of the honest party into their several Countreys under pretence of suppressing Insurrections And now being able to Vote what they list they call home and restore to their places in Parliament Mr. Hollis Sir Iohn Clotworthy and eight more whom they had not long before expelled the House as guilty of high Treason and other misdemeanors Now they may truly be called the Kings two Houses and as diligently act his part as if it were their own onely this misfortune intervened the Countreys being a little beaten inclined generally to peace and the honest Members had leasure to attend the service of the House a rub not easily to be removed However they continue their endeavors and since they can work it no more to their advantage they Vote a Personal Treaty with the King in the Isle of Wight In this condition was the Parliament from the beginning of the last Rebellion to the coming in of the Army In publike Affairs the King had bought the greatest part in private their particular Clyents no Justice could be had at any Committee nor in the House it self without money except for Malignants of one sort or the other Venalis curia Patrum The Writs that were sent into Cornwal under the Parliaments Seal for Election of Burgesses brought up a great number of Malignants to the House for the Gentry of that County who rule the people as slaves having engaged in the Rebellion and therefore uncapable of being chosen sold places to men ill-affected for as much money as they could get A Gentleman going to Mr. Harris and acquainting him with his desires to serve in Parliament received this Answer That he knew not of any Burrough that was unprovided but if any such there were it could not now be had for a hundred pounds To live under such a supreme power is such a Tyranny as never any English man was yet acquainted with And this Parliament must continue till it be dissolved by Act At the time when the Act was past for continuing the Parliament till it should be dissolved by Act They had furnished the Kings necessities they had removed that War which the King by his injustice had drawn upon the English Nation they paid the Army which he had raised they had contracted several great publike Debts for which they could have no other security as also that grievances should be redrest they by reason of those troubles which the King still gave them not having time sooner to consider of them Besides the Parliament was then honest fit to reform which it was not now at the time when the Army came into London If it be a sin in a particular person to neglect an opportunity of doing good it is much more a sin in this Army whom God hath owned so wonderfully in all their Actions and whom I am confident he hath raised to do this work It is therefore ignorance or malice in them that publikely write and prate in Pulpits and at other meetings That it is a great Breach of Parliament priviledg to stop the Members going into the House to discharge their duty Had it been to discharge their duty to the Countreys and Towns for which they were elected they had not been stopt But Mr. Prynne and the rest of his imprisoned friends came with no such intention they came to serve the common enemy and to deserve at his hands the Offices and such other things as he hath promised them and would should he be inthroned cheat them of except he chance to finde a knave or two amongst them more able to help him in cousening the people then those fellows whom he had earlier engaged in that employment They indeed may live gallantly and enjoy every thing but a good conscience and dying shall leave their children a rich inheritance of slavery and thraldom For my part I honour Parliaments so long as they Act in Order to the publique good But if like standing pooles they only gather mudd and filth I thinke it very fit to cleanse them This trouble the Army hath taken upon them which if they had not done this Nations ruine had been unavoidable Can it be thought that the King likes the Condition that he is in or that he tooke it kindly to be beaten or that he hath already forgotten his overthrowes and that he may in a moneth or two being restored to liberty with honour safetie and freedome forget his present imprisonment Are not his Letters of most concernment printed by Order of Parliament to his perpetuall dishonour Votes past against any more addresses his wife charged with high Treason his revenue seized c. Are these such provocations as may be easily forgotten In the tenth yeare of Richard the second the Duke of Glocester unckle to the King the Earle of Arundell the Earle of Warwick with others raise Armes to redresse grievances this Army doth lesse and may doe more they call a Parliament this Army may as lawfully if it be for the peoples good and no other way be found dissolve a Parliament trie Delinquents and bring them to punishment Kindred in either house was no reprieve The King after this seemes to forget all all is kindnesse betwixt him and those Lords till the 18th yeare of his Raigne when he calls a Parliament overaweth them with an Army enforceth them to recall his Charters of pardon puts his Unckle to death at Callis without any forme of Tryall beheads Arundell and banisheth Warwick into the Isle of Man Better things are not to be expected from this King FINIS
