Decemb. and going into Kent with his Guards which the King himself commanded took shipping with a party with him dismissing his Guards whom by gratuities he requited and so sailed into France without

Westminster in th● two Houses of Parliament which accordingly was performed and received the Nomination of a Convention But b●fore this meeting the Prince was pleased to send for over into England his Royal Consort Mary Princess of Orange this Convention after some weeks taking into consideration the distracted and unsetled condition of the Nation wanting a Head and power to restore the said Nation into its pristine Glory and Safety by the advice of the best Lawyers and Statesmen and by search of many former Precedents wherein it did plainly appear that in all reason this Convention so generally chosen by the consent of the Commons of England might be stiled the Parliament of England to all intents and purposes And accordingly under that denomination all matters of State and concerns of the Publick were transacted And taking into their consideration the departure of King James out of the Kingdom after many arguments Pro and Con. it was agreed that by such departure out of the Kingdom

William and Mary and is truly called Monarchy then under the power and Tyranny of two persons Regalwise in respect they were single persons and had the power of Calling and Dissolving Parliaments making War and Peace to condemn or save guilty Malefactors Robbers and Rebels and indeed Oliver's power did much exceed that Authority which King Charles I. did take upon himself yet this Oliver and his short-Reign'd Successor Richard wanted the Crown the Royal Title of a King and were content to enjoy the Nomination of Protectors with this addition upon the Great Seal of England inscribed By Divine Providence c.
