not exceeding five for the English being nominated particularly by the Parl. who together with the persons in the Irish Rebellion included in the third Qualification may be reserved to the farther Judgement of the Parliament as they shall see cause all other persons may be admitted to Composition That the rates for all future Compositions may be lessened c. and no compounder enjoyned to take the Nationall Covenant 5. Observa You see the Army more remisse in exacting Justice then the Parliament who have excepted seven English clearly out of mercy which is more then to reserve them unto farther Justice as they shall see cause and all men to be enjoyned by Act of Parliament to take the Covenant The Army propounds Putney Proj pag. 14. That all that have been in hostility against the Parliament be incapable of bearing Office of publique trust or power for five yeares But it was added after the great Officers intercourse with the King That the Councell of State should be enabled to admit them to such Offices before those five yeares expired 6. Observation The Parliament hath reserved to themselves the gifts of all Great Offices in England and Ireland for 20. yeares and disabled Delinquents in Armes to be Sheriffes Justices of the Peace c. pag. 15. The Army propounded Only that the Coercive Power and Jurisdiction of Bishops extending to Civill Punishments upon any may be abolished and demanded nothing for passing an Act for sale of Bishops Lands although at last they encouraged the Parliament to sell them But according to their Proposals for Peace the King was first to be re-established with His Negative voice 7. Observation The Parliament propounds the utter Abolishing of Episcopacy and Bishops for ever and an Act for alienating their Lands for ever The Army propounded The Militia should be for ten yeares only in the dispose of the Parliament and afterwards this present King not to dispose thereof without consent of Parliament 8. Observation The Parliament propounds the Militia of England and Ireland by Land and Sea with all Forts Castles Garrisons to be in the Parliament alone for twenty yeares from 1 July 1646. And after the said twenty yeares neither the King His Heires nor Successors to dispose thereof without consent of Parliament c. Putney Project pag. 43. These Proposals of the Army being obtruded at last upon the House a contest grew Whether they or the Propositions formerly sent to New-Castle should be sent to the King at Hampton-Court At last it was concluded to send the Propositions of New-Castle But the King knew that neither the Grandees in Parlia or Army intended they should be assented to being inconsistent with their Independent interests but they were sent only to usher in the Kings desire of a Personall Treaty upon the Proposals of the Army which the King had made known before hand should be His Answer And when His Answer was Voted in the House of Commons to be a deniall and debated hotly whether any more Addresses should be made to the King at last a Member of the House produced a reason as sharp and weighty as Goliahs sword It is the sense of the Army quoth he that a farther Addresse be made to the King And Ireton himself told them he could not promise them the Armies assistance if they ceased their Addresses to the King whereupon being bruited abroad that the Army had compelled the Parliament to make farther Addresses to the King and to send part or all of their Proposals as the grounds of Peace very many of the Army declared openly against it and many Speeches in their Councell reflected upon Ireton for abusing the Army therein So their hopes in this policy vanished like the hopes of an Alchimist I could proceed much farther with these parallel Observations but I have little leasure and peradventure Reader thou hast little money to lay out upon Books and I desire to open thy eyes as good cheap as may be But the Armies Remonstrance presented to the House 20 November pag. 43. 44. saith These Compliances of their part were only Negative what I have said already doth sufficiently confute this excuse It farther saith they complied with the King through example to prevent others from strengthening themselves that way meaning M. Hollis c. which was examined by the Parliament and he acquitted thereof and though the Army not resting in the Judgement of the Parliament as by their own profession they ought to doe charged him again herewith in their Impeachment of the eleven Members yet they never proceeded to prove it See Putney Project pag. 8. You see that Priviledges and Commands of Parliament nay their own promises are no more to the Grandees of the Army since they declared the Parliament had disobliged them then the Philistines withes to Sampson Did they not command the Commons by a set day to cast out the Faction that overtopped them to recall their Declaration against them whereby in full and free Parliament they were declared Enemies to provide them pay to own them for their Army Have they not contrary to the Parliaments Orders admitted Cavaliers to the King made Addresses to Him Quartered round about London after the Parliament Commanded them to Quarter fourty miles off which Order is still in force Have they not promised and engaged to acquiesce in the Judgement of Parliament Declaration 14 June 1647. And did they not a year since keep a day of Humiliation at Windsor to implore Gods mercy for their former insolency to the Parliament and promising more obedience hereafter Have they not declared that it was proper for them to act onely in their owne spheare as Souldiers and not to intermeddle with affaires of State which concerne the Parliament Why then doe they interrupt the Parliaments Treaty with the King in the Isle of Wight Declaration 14 June 1647. Why did they 20. Novemb. 1648. send a peremptory Remonstrance to the Parliament instead of an humble Petition charging them with weaknesse inconstancie and breach of trust in the same Treaty and magnifying their owne wisdome and integrity above theirs and that in such Magisteriall and censorious language as if the Tables were turned and they were the Parliament and the Two Houses but a Councell of the Army I will continue the method I have begun and make some few sudden Observations upon this Remonstrance as I have formerly done upon the Armies Proposals and leave the fuller answering thereof to some better Pen that hath more leisure and abilities then my selfe Objections in the Remonstrance delivered 20. November against the Parliament and Treaty Remonstrance pag. 7 8 9. 1. The Army Objects the Votes of the Houses for no more Addresses to the King Charging the Houses with inconstancy in retracting them and thereby putting the people into an unsetled condition and stirring them to Petition for a Personall Treaty and at last to rise in Armes for it and alledgeth the House was free
