With divers queries, observations and grievances of the people, declaring this Parliaments present proceedings to be directly contrary to those fundamentall principles, whereby their actions at first were justifyable against the King, in their present illegall dealings with those that have been their best friends, advancers and preservers: and in other things of high concernment to the freedom of all the free-born people of England; by a well-wisher to the just cause for which Lieutenant Col.

man_n that_o the_o parliament_n have_v a_o power_n to_o annul_v a_o law_n and_o to_o make_v a_o new_a law_n and_o to_o declare_v a_o law_n but_o know_v law_n in_o force_n &_o unrepealed_a by_o they_o be_v a_o rule_n so_o long_o as_o they_o so_o remain_v for_o all_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n whereby_o to_o walk_v and_o upon_o rational_a ground_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o very_a parliament_n themselves_o as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o though_o by_o their_o legislative_a power_n they_o have_v authority_n to_o make_v new_a law_n yet_o no_o freeman_n of_o england_n be_v to_o take_v notice_n or_o can_v he_o of_o what_o they_o intend_v till_o they_o declare_v it_o neither_o can_v they_o as_o be_v conceive_v just_o punish_v any_o man_n for_o walk_v close_o to_o the_o

be_v no_o transgression_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o the_o parliament_n will_v declare_v their_o privilege_n to_o the_o whole_a commons_o of_o england_n that_o so_o no_o man_n may_v through_o ignorance_n by_o the_o parliament_n default_n run_v causeless_o into_o the_o hazard_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o life_n liberty_n or_o estate_n for_o here_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o themselves_o that_o their_o power_n be_v limit_v by_o those_o that_o betrust_v they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o do_v what_o they_o listen_v but_o what_o they_o ought_v namely_o to_o provide_v for_o the_o people_n weal_n and_o not_o for_o their_o woe_n so_o that_o unknown_a privilege_n be_v as_o dangerous_a as_o unlimited_a prerogative_n be_v both_o of_o they_o secret_a snare_n especial_o for_o the_o best_a affect_a people_n it_o be_v the_o great_a hazard_n and_o danger_n that_o can_v be_v run_v unto_o to_o disart_a the_o only_o know_v and_o declare_v rule_n the_o lay_v

that_o all_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n who_o send_v and_o choose_v they_o be_v to_o obey_v but_o take_v away_o this_o declare_a law_n and_o where_o will_v you_o find_v the_o rule_n of_o obedience_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o rule_n of_o obedience_n than_o it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o if_o a_o great_a and_o strong_a number_n come_v to_o a_o parliament_n sit_v and_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v more_o and_o strong_a than_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o they_o shall_v not_o make_v law_n for_o they_o but_o they_o will_v rather_o make_v law_n for_o they_o must_v they_o not_o needs_o give_v place_n undoubted_o they_o must_v yea_o take_v away_o the_o declare_v unrepealed_a law_n and_o then_o where_o be_v meum_fw-la &_o tuum_fw-la and_o liberty_n and_o propertie_n but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o law_n declare_v bind_v the_o people_n but_o be_v no_o rule_n for_o a_o parliament_n sit_v who_o be_v not_o to_o walk_v by_o a_o know_a law_n it_o be_v
