A76249	A declaration against Prince Rupert, or, An argument, whereby it appears, that Prince Rupert, and all that joyne with him in this unnaturall war against the Parliament, are guilty of high-treason, with an exposition of the stat. of II. Hen. 7. whereby it appeares, that those who follow the advice and imployment of the Parliament, are freed from treason, or any other offence concerning their particular actions in that service.

many_o and_o so_o great_a breach_n of_o the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n as_o have_v be_v make_v this_o parliament_n or_o be_v there_o ever_o so_o many_o and_o so_o desperate_a design_n of_o force_n and_o violence_n against_o the_o parliament_n and_o the_o member_n thereof_o if_o the_o parliament_n have_v do_v more_o than_o ever_o their_o ancestor_n have_v do_v i_o be_o sure_a they_o have_v suffer_v more_o than_o ever_o they_o suffer_v &_o yet_o in_o point_n of_o modesty_n or_o duty_n they_o need_v not_o yield_v to_o the_o best_a of_o former_a time_n but_o they_o may_v safe_o put_v this_o in_o issue_n whether_o the_o high_a &_o most_o unwarrantable_a precedent_n of_o any_o of_o his_o majesty_n predecessor_n do_v not_o fall_v short_a and_o much_o below_o what_o have_v be_v do_v to_o this_o parliament_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n whether_o if_o they_o shall_v make_v the_o high_a precedent_n of_o other_o parliament_n their_o pattern_n there_o will_v be_v cause_n to_o complain_v of_o want_n of_o modesty_n and_o duty_n in_o they_o when_o they_o not_o so_o much_o as_o suffer_v such_o thing_n to_o enter_v into_o their_o thought_n as_o their_o declaration_n tell_v i_o which_o all_o the_o world_n know_v their_o predecessor_n have_v put_v in_o act_n and_o whereas_o it_o seem_v a_o riddle_n to_o those_o that_o be_v with_o the_o king_n that_o they_o shall_v fight_v for_o the_o king_n and_o by_o his_o command_n and_o yet_o be_v traitor_n to_o he_o for_o if_o they_o be_v traitor_n the_o king_n himself_o have_v do_v as_o much_o be_v present_a with_o they_o as_o they_o have_v do_v and_o how_o can_v a_o king_n commit_v treason_n against_o himself_o to_o those_o let_v i_o answer_v that_o what_o ever_o the_o king_n do_v he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v question_v but_o yet_o that_o do_v not_o clear_v they_o because_o the_o king_n himself_o do_v countenance_v they_o by_o his_o personal_a presence_n and_o by_o his_o comission_n and_o that_o their_o consequence_n may_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n let_v they_o understand_v that_o a_o king_n may_v commit_v treason_n against_o himself_o and_o so_o do_v king_n john_n in_o resign_v of_o his_o crown_n to_o the_o pope_n and_o mr_n brooke_n who_o be_v recorder_n of_o london_n in_o his_o read_n upon_o the_o statute_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la cap._n 16._o say_v that_o if_o any_o to_o who_o the_o crown_n be_v commit_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n usurp_v it_o or_o demean_v it_o in_o other_o manner_n than_o be_v express_v in_o the_o act_n it_o be_v high_a treason_n read_v the_o statute_n of_o 35._o hen._n 8._o c._n 1._o and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o they_o which_o join_v with_o the_o king_n may_v be_v punish_v for_o treason_n though_o the_o king_n himself_o can_v beside_o though_o they_o intend_v not_o hurt_v to_o the_o king_n person_n as_o we_o may_v guess_v by_o several_a circumstance_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v traitor_n for_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o some_o sense_n he_o be_v the_o only_a person_n against_o who_o treason_n can_v be_v commit_v that_o be_v mean_v as_o he_o be_v king_n but_o yet_o that_o treason_n which_o be_v against_o the_o kingdom_n be_v more_o against_o the_o king_n then_o that_o which_o be_v against_o his_o person_n because_o he_o be_v king_n for_o that_o very_a treason_n be_v not_o treason_n as_o it_o be_v against_o he_o as_o a_o man_n but_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o king_n and_o as_o he_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o stand_v as_o a_o person_n entrust_v with_o the_o kingdom_n and_o discharge_v that_o trust_n now_o if_o that_o be_v true_a as_o indeed_o it_o be_v that_o treason_n against_o the_o kingdom_n be_v more_o treason_n against_o the_o king_n then_o that_o which_o be_v against_o the_o king_n person_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o king_n army_n which_o now_o levy_v war_n against_o the_o parliament_n which_o be_v the_o kingdom_n be_v they_o not_o all_o traitor_n but_o for_o prince_n rupert_n some_o be_v

allegiance_n the_o answer_n to_o they_o will_v be_v but_o short_o thus_o that_o any_o man_n and_o so_o consequent_o prince_n rupert_n whilst_o he_o be_v in_o england_n and_o in_o the_o king_n dominion_n be_v to_o yield_v a_o local_a ligeance_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o king_n and_o the_o law_n and_o in_o lieu_n of_o that_o he_o be_v to_o receive_v a_o local_a protection_n from_o the_o
