A62416	The Earl of Anglesey's state of the government & kingdom prepared and intended for His Majesty, King Charles II in the year 1682, but the storm inpending growing so high prevented it then : with a short vindication of His Lordship from several aspersions cast upon him, in a pretended letter that carries the title of his memoirs / by Sir John Thompson, Baronet.; State of the government & kingdom	Anglesey, Arthur Annesley, Earl of, 1614-1686.; Haversham, John Thompson, Baron, 1647-1710.	1694 (1694)	Wing T1000; ESTC R1565	19,674	41

course to arrive at the like whilst your Majesty sinks into a Debt from such you may considently require diligent and faithful Service and Care to ease your Majesty and do your work so that your Honour and Dignity may be supported and so that all your Subjects may see and Rejoyce that you have conferred your Favours on fuch as render themselves Worthy thereof and ease the great pains and troubles that attend so weighty a Crown as your Majesties is to which their Duty as well as Obligations bind them and the strise among them should be only who should serve so good a Master best I am sure I will have no difference with nor offend any of them but upon that account and therein I shall never doubt of Protection and Countenance from your Majesty as far as I am trusted I know your Majesty hath received much disquiet by the attempts to weaken or shake the Legal Succession of the Crown against your Majesties deelared Resolution to the contrary and cannot forget that I have often assured your Majesty such endeavours will be best diverted by wise and gentle handling of Parliaments and the right use of your house of Peers in such contests wherein I have and shall ever be ready in a Parliamentary way to do your Majesty all the Faithful service I am capable of and to find out such Expedients as may satisfy your People that their Religion and Liberties may be secured by other ways that shall neither displease nor discompose your Majesty nor so much as raise in you a Jealousie that there is the least aim to invade your Prerogative or give you disquiet or disturbance It is within my Memory that the great case of Habeas Corpus the business of the Loanes c. were bandied in Parliament viz. 3 of your Fathers Reign which produced the Petition of Right to be made a Law After that the Case of Ship Money which for more assurance after Judgment in the House of Peers against it by their ordinary Authority and Power of Judicature was branded and condemned by Act of Parliament as Illegal and Arbitrary and all the Judges questioned for their Extrajudicial Opinions and yet in this Case not only his Majesties Learned Council but all the Judges upon a Case stated were unanimous for the King Right but being drawn Ex parte as the other Cases were also it was very easy through Fear or weakness of Judgment or want of the due Ventilation and digestion that causes of such import were wont to have after many Days hearing of Council on both sides and Arguments at the Bar and Bench to ingage im mistakes which therefore afterwards came to a publick Disquisition in the Court of Kings Bench and by Writ of Error in the Exchequer Chamber upon the opposition of private Subjects who would not sit down in a Case of that Consequence where they conceived and were advised the right lay on their sides against the Opinion of the Judges who being pre-ingaged by Exjudicial Opinions had before both in the Kings Bench and all the Judges of England excext Three or Four in the Exchequer Chamber upon the Writ of Error given Judgment against the Subject yet by the Division of the Judges when it came to be a Chequer Chamber Case which I heard intirely and the Free and Learned arguing thereof and view of the Records for supporting of the Liberties of the Subjects the Eyes of People were so opened that the opposition to the payment of it grew general and the first Parliament which was called after as is before mentioned put an end to that controversie for ever The Progress and conclusion of this Case ought to sway with your Majesty to be wary and circumspect in all Cases of Law for the future that are not warranted by known Law and Practice appearing upon mature consideration and debate For here was more then ordinary caution used before the King would impose a new Burthen upn his Subjects though his Necessities were by the long discontinuance of Parliaments and intervening accidents very great And he had better vouchers then are ever like to be had again in a Controversie between the King and the Subject and yet all came to a sad reckoning and raised Jealousies which are not quite Extinguished to this Day And by attempts in new Cases which draw consequences that will raise apprehensions of insecurity to the Subject may unhappily revive I have always thought it more dangerous to the Crown by colour and pretence of Legal Authority to do a thing of general and standing import and allarm to the Subject then without consideration to do transcient Acts of Violence which I am well assured your Majesty never will And your Majesty having not only by your Coronation Oath at which I was present Legally and Solemnly obliged your self to the Law and Customs and good Government of England but by many Declarations since in Parliament and otherwise to the great satisfaction of your People of all degrees removed the apprehensions some had taken up to the contrary and are by too many still retained and improved from the late unexpected Dissolution of divers Parliaments and their proving Abortive I cannot but in Zeal to your Majesties Honour and Safety and that it may not be in the power of any wicked instruments to foment Jealousies or to raise Doubts any longer humbly beseech your Majesty since it cannot be supposed that your Majesty is skilled in the Knowledge of all the Laws that in all cases of Difficulty and which are not of ordinary Cognizance and Practice but such wherein the Lives Liberties and Properties of your Subjects in general may be concerned your Majesty to the end you may perform what you intend to your People will require the debates and advice of your Council at Law and your Privy Council before your Maiesty be ingaged in points of Law that upon further Consideration and Trial will not hold but raise Disputes and bring Blemish upon your Majesties Proceedings which else must light upon those whose Duty it is Faithfully to advise your Majesty and within the bounds of your Oath and Legal Pleasure so often declared The late War between your Royal Father and his Parliament was little expected as any is now to arise in this Kingdom but it came on insensibly and by degrees and the intervening of unlooked for accidents till it raised a Current that carried all before it and had a dreadful Progress and Conclusion yet the rise of it was but Fears and Jealousies no bigger I may say then a Mans Hand Visible to us whasoever might be in the Womb of Providence It s true no Arming or Gathering of Forces now appears there is no Parliament in Being not Act in Force for any to continue till they will dissolve themselves But the same English People which they were wont to represent live in their own Houses claim their good old Laws and Liberties and are watchful over them who knows
