termes from Ireland We find also that this would have been evidenced by some other of the Kings Letters to the Queen taken by you at Nasby which you have purposely concealed least they should too plainly discover the Kings detestation of that Rebellion and his rigid firmnesse to the Protestant Religion And from his Majesties avowed firmnesse to the Protestant Religion it was that the Sectaries at first joyned in arms against him and that the Popish Princes have not succoured him yea we are informed that great store of Priests and Jesuites are in your Army intruding and concealing themselves under the generall Liberty now practised in matters of Religion and combin'd with the Sectaries against the King as equall enemie to them both and if God doth not prevent it they are likely to destroy both the King and our Religion together We have heard that M. Henderson lying on his death-bed told his friends about him if they would preserve Religion they must preserve the King the admonition will serve as well for England as for Scotland The sum of your Declaration ANd now have we run through the severall particulars of your Declaration and we find that 1. You charge his Majesty with what you cannot take cognizance of as his Transactions with his Scotish Subjects and after an act of Oblivion 2. That touching the Occurrences and Transactions in England and Ireland you charge his Majesty falsly maliciously illegally unreasonably 1. Falslly that the King never made any proposall fit for you to receive That he hath not kept his Coronation Oath That he betrayed Rochell That by his two Maximes he hath laid a foundation of Tyranny That he protected evill Counsellors That after you had shut the Ports hee gave Passes to Papists to go over into Ireland who were afterward in the head of the Rebells That by his Guard he abused your Committee at York and protected Berwicke against the Posse Comitatus And that he set up a mock-Parliament at Oxford c. yea you charge his Majesty with things rejected by him when they were proposed to him as the bringing over the German Horse The bringing up the Northern Army to the City and to secure the Tower not forgetting that you suppressed Col. Gorings second examination about that businesse There are also other falsities in your Declaration as that a storme from Denmark had fallen upon Hull and the Magazine there had not the Sweds about that time invaded the King of Denmarks Dominions c. 2. Maliciously by misrepresenting his Majesties actions That the King sometimes denied to receive your humble Petitions for peace Concerning the Kings advance to Brainford Concerning his Commission and the bloody Massacre at London Concerning his giving the 5. Counties to the Irish Committee Concerning the 40. Proclamations sent into Ireland Concerning the Kings Letter to the Earle of Ormond to thank Muskerie and Plunket Concerning his Letter to the Pope Concerning the Kings going to your House when by the way we cannot forget your suppressing Captain Ashleys examination at Grocers Hall Concerning Cockrans Negotiation in Denmark concerning the Holland Fleet concerning his Majesties Protestations against bringing over Forraigne Forces against bringing up the Northern Army and against making warre against this Parliament concerning his Commission to the E. of Glamorgan c. 3. Illegally that is for what the King did according to Law as the charging the five Members with Treason the Commission of Array his proclaiming some Traytors Also we find that he had a Judgement in Law for the Ship-money the Canons Ceremonies c. were also according to Law Nor can you by your owne Law charge him with what he did upon the Certificate of his Attourney and Solicitor in case of Monopolies nor with what he did by the advice of the Privy Councell concerning Scotland dissolving the Parliament and the Cessation in Ireland 4. Vnreasonably 1. With the grievances of the Kingdome after they were remedied by severall Acts of Parliament as Ship-money Monopolies c. 2. With what his Majesty justly had satisfied as Coate and conduct money and inclosing Commons 3. With what was done by Courts of Justice as the Whipping c. 4. With what was done by King James as the Articles with Spain and France 5. With what the Queen did as her designe if there were any 6. With what the Irish Rebells say calling themselves the Kings or the Queenes Army c. 7. With what your selves are guilty of as the not prosecuting the Duke of Buckingham The long intermission of Parliaments caused by your Remonstrances The rise of the Irish Rebellion by your not suffering the Army to be transported the delaying the Earl of Leicester c. 8. For refusing your unreasonable desires concerning the Commission when he went into Scotland And the Commissions to the Lord Brooke and the Lord Wharton 9. For what the King did in Order to his necessary defence as the Guards and preparation of Armes and Ammunition at Whitehall The List of Armes and Ammunition found amongst his Majesties Papers The Vessell that arrived neer Hull with Armes and Ammunition Cockrans Negotiation in Denmark The pawning the Jewells of the Crown his Letter to Sir John Heydon for Ordnance c. His Declaration to bring in Money Plate c. His Guard at York and setting up his Standard And from these your false malicious illegall and unreasonable allegations and charge how can you conclude that his Majesty hath broken his trust with the Protestants in France Scotland Ireland and this Kingdome And that he hath endeavoured to inslave us by German Spanish French Lorraign Irish Danish and other Forraign Forces And that he hath wholly forgotten not only his duty to the Kingdome but also the care and respect he oweth to himselfe and his own family and that you will repose no more trust in him but settle the present Government without him Let our strength be the Law of Justice 2 Wisd 11 And because you iterate and reiterate his Majesties Breach of trust and your resolutions thereupon we also reiterate our faith of that point We beleeve the Kings Power to be fiduciary and the Kingly Office a great trust but that he is intrusted as he is impower'd by God and only by God 2 Wisd 2 3. S. Paul tells us Ro. 13. That there is no power but of God And that the Powers that are are ordained of God and that the chiefe Magistrate is the Minister of God Arm'd by God with the sword to execute wrath upon him that doth evill And when you can out of the holy Scriptures shew us as cleare a Derivation of Politicall Power and trust from the People we will assent to your opinions and submit to your resolutions Besides when S. Paul writ this Epistle to the Romans Nero was their Emperor And so he that resisteth Nero resisteth the Ordinance of God And they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation Now if that bloody Tyrant and Persecutor Nero
