of those men And this we conceive to have been the sence of Mac Cart and Macquires confession by you cited And so his Majesty consented to the disbanding and sending back of that Army into Ireland which doubtlesse gave a great rise and contributed much to the Irish Rebellion But that his Majesty knew nothing of any such designe doth appeare by the confession of Macquire at his Execution who to use his own words did acquit the King upon his death and any other man in England except one and he but a private Gentleman who came by chance to the knowledge thereof from being guilty so much as of knowing it Concerning the first Clause of their Oath to beare true faith and Allegiance to King Charles We know that in all Rebellions the chiefe Authors and contrivers of them make faire pretences and specious Oaths to seduce the People to joyn with them in their undertakings And whereas they stile themselves the Kings or Queenes Army that was meerly to countenance the Rebellion if not also to raise farther jealousies between the King and you and to set you at farther odds that so upon your divisions in England they might with more ease carry on the Rebellion in Ireland Concerning the 40. Proclamations sent into Ireland Exact Col. p. 247 We find not that you ever so much as moved for any Proclamation against the Rebells but the first motion came from the Lords Justices of that Kingdome who also sent a draught of such a Proclamation as they conceived best for the suppressing of the Rebellion And whereas ordinarily the King never signes more then the first draught of a Proclamation fairly ingrossed in Parchment and by it Copies are printed and dispersed in Ireland as in England the Lords Justices and Counsell taking notice of the rumour spread amongst the Rebells that they had the Kings Authority for what they did desired that they might have 20. Proclamations sent over signed by the Kings Sign Manuall to the end that besides the Printed Copies which they would disperse according to custome they might be able to send an Origin all with the Kings hand to it to those considerable persons whom they might suspoct to be misled by that false rumour and who when they saw the Kings very hand would be without excuse if they persisted Whereupon the King signed double the number and for expedition of the service commanded them to be printed as is well known to some Lords now sitting in Parliament and then sitting with his Majesty in Counsell Concerning the Letters written to the Lord Muskery from Court We find not how it reflects upon his Majesty but that rather it is to be referred to the insufficiencies and uncertainties in your Declaration And concerning the Kings Letter to the Marq. of Ormond for giving perticular thanks to Muskery and Plunket we find it to be for the Professions of their endeavours to bring their Countrymen to moderation and obedience at that time when they were at Oxford employed by the Irish to his Majesty during the Cessation Of the delaying and detaining of the Earl of Leicester We find that the King often pressed you that he might be dispatched and sent away to Ireland and that in his Answer to your Petition of the 28. Ap. 1642. Exact Col. p. 144 it is one of the reasons of his resolution to go in person into Ireland because the Lord Lieftenant did not repaire to his command there Nor came he to his Majesty at York till three moneths after and when he had received his Majesties instructions there and took his leave with profession to go to Chester he went not according to promise but returned to the two Houses at London Two months after you commanded him to Chester where he stayed 3. weekes in Expectation of Ships to transport him and his Majesty hearing that he had neither Provision of Money nor any force to be sent with him but his own retinue the Regiments of Foot and Troopes of horse which had been raised for that service having been imployed against his Majesty at Edg-Hill and being still kept as a part of the Earle of Essex his Army considering that the Protestants there would have been much disheartned and the Rebells equally incouraged if the Lord Lievtenant had arrived in so private a manner therefore his Majesty sent for him to Oxford till he could receive better satisfaction from the two Houses concerning the preparations for that Kingdom Concerning the Commission for the Lord Brooke and the Lord Wharton We find that the Commission desired was to have been Independent upon his Majesties Lieftenant of that Kingdome and therefore his Majesty refused it Concerning Papists and others passed by the Kings speciall Warrant into Ireland named by you We find that Mr. Pym at a Conference with the Lords about the beginning of Feb. 1641. declared Exact Col. p. 69 71. 117 118. that after the Ports were shut by both Houses of Parliament divers Papists passed from hence by his Majesties especiall Warrant and headed the Rebells in Ireland whereof his Majesty having notice required him and you again and again to name any one person so passed by his Majesty and now in the head of the Rebells and you have not named any one to this day and so we must refer this to the uncertainties and unsufficiencies in your Declaration as also what followes concerning the Commanders and Officers called off from their trust against the Rebells and the supplies which the Rebells had by the E. of Antrim L. Aboine and others from the Queen And lastly concerning the peices of battery from hence desired by the Counsell of Ireland of all which no evidence or instance hath been offred unto us save only that the King commanded the two Ships under Capt. Kettleby Capt. Stradling to attend him at Newcastle having before given you notice thereof to take care for the guarding of that Coast all other his Majesties Ships besides those two being at that time at your disposall But we cannot but remember how the Earle of Leven sent Generall of the Scots into Ireland against the Rebells was called from thence to lead an Army into England against his Majesty And how many Officers both Scots and English left the service in Ireland and were employed by you here in England being necessitated thereto for the recovery of their Arreares which they could not obtain otherwise as Sir Richard Greenvile c. Concerning the Cloathes seized by his Majesties Souldiers We find that it was done about Coventry when that City stood out against his Majesty and we conceive you should have sent for a safe conduct for passing them through his Majesties Quarters Also we find that when his Majesty had taken Chester he sent over into Ireland 3000. suites of cloathes provided by you for that service although his own souldiers were in great want of them And now let all the world judge how much reason you had to beleeve the

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
