Whether a new Coronation Oath with some effectual clauses to secure the subjects Liberties against the Invasions of pretended Royall Prerogatives be not simply necessary for our future security the old Oath having been altered in some materiall things And whether an Oath enjoyned by the Houses to all their members in all publike and private causes that come before them in the House or at Committees to proceed and Vote according to the merits and justice of the cause and the best advantage of the Commonwealth to the best of their skill and judgement without any fear favour hatred affection or partiality would not give much satisfaction to the people and prevent all scandals and jealosies of partiality and affection under which some Members and Committees may else sometimes chance to suffer 4. Whether it would not be an Act of noble Justice and Equity for the Parliament to take some speedy course to satisfie the just Debts of such wel-affected Persons who are now fallen into great necessity and ready to perish for want freely lent long since upon the publike faith before they satisfie arrears or pay Debts to any Members or Officers who are in no such present Necessity and have gained much by the Wars since many of the richer sort are to be satisfied their publike faith out of the Excise and sale of Bishops Lands 5.
