A87147	The royall quarrell, or Englands lawes and liberties vindicated, and mantained, against the tyrannicall usurpations of the Lords. By that faithfull patriot of his country Sr. John Maynard, a late member of the House of Commons, but now prerogative prisoner in the Tower of London. Being a legall justification of him, and all those other Lords and aldermen, unjustly imprisoned under pretence of treason, and other misdemeanours; the proceedings against them being illegall, and absolutely destructive to Magna Charta, and the petition of right. Also his protest against the Lords jurisdiction over him, and his appeale unto the Common Law, for tryall, proved both reasonable, and legall. / By Sirrahnio, an utter enemy to tyrannie and injustice.	Harris, John, fl. 1647.	1648 (1648)	Wing H861; Thomason E426_11; ESTC R204576	14,368	16

you_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o remembrance_n the_o sum_n of_o what_o pass_v between_o the_o lord_n and_o sir_n john_n maynard_n though_o not_o so_o full_o as_o he_o deliver_v it_o yet_o i_o dare_v affirm_v it_o to_o be_v all_o the_o most_o material_a passage_n thereof_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v somewhat_o by_o way_n of_o justification_n of_o sir_n john_n maynard_n in_o this_o his_o protest_v against_o the_o lord_n as_o incompetent_a judge_n and_o appeal_n to_o the_o common_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n first_o i_o will_v plead_v reason_n second_o law_n first_o reason_n shall_v sir_n john_n maynard_n have_v submit_v to_o the_o lord_n jurisdiction_n over_o he_o he_o can_v not_o have_v possible_o avoid_v destruction_n and_o that_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o party_n prosecute_a sir_n john_n be_v a_o few_o grandee_n of_o the_o army_n and_o their_o adherent_n viz._n those_o commons_o and_o lord_n that_o join_v with_o the_o army_n against_o the_o other_o party_n remain_v behind_o in_o the_o house_n now_o if_o two_o man_n equal_o interest_v have_v a_o difference_n with_o a_o three_o and_o get_v he_o into_o their_o power_n can_v you_o imagine_v that_o one_o of_o these_o two_o prevailer_n can_v be_v a_o competent_a judge_n of_o the_o conquer_a party_n &_o the_o other_o a_o competent_a accuser_n certain_o if_o the_o accuser_n be_v a_o enemy_n and_o the_o judge_n a_o enemy_n too_o the_o party_n to_o be_v accuse_v and_o adjudge_v can_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n look_v for_o other_o then_o absolute_a destruction_n now_o this_o be_v clear_o sir_n john_n maynards_n case_n and_o the_o case_n of_o all_o the_o lord_n and_o alderman_n that_o be_v accuse_v and_o imprison_v for_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o charge_n against_o they_o be_v for_o do_v such_o and_o such_o act_n against_o the_o parliament_n and_o army_n army_n army_n there_o can_v be_v no_o treason_n commit_v against_o the_o army_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v what_o they_o mean_v by_o parliament_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o commons_o and_o who_o bring_v a_o force_n upon_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o why_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o and_o so_o one_o party_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o accuse_v another_o and_o because_o the_o law_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o umpire_n in_o this_o business_n can_v do_v that_o which_o they_o will_v have_v it_o therefore_o they_o will_v divide_v their_o force_n and_o one_o half_n shall_v be_v the_o accuser_n and_o the_o other_o half_a the_o judge_n and_o thus_o what_o the_o law_n can_v make_v a_o crime_n they_o will_v and_o by_o this_o time_n i_o know_v all_o rational_a man_n will_v say_v sir_n john_n have_v reason_n to_o do_v what_o he_o do_v in_o relation_n to_o protest_v against_o the_o lord_n as_o incompetent_a judge_n second_o sir_n john_n maynard_n have_v not_o only_a reason_n but_o law_n on_o his_o side_n his_o plea_n and_o protest_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o establish_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o by_o law_n there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n whereby_o a_o man_n life_n can_v be_v take_v from_o he_o viz._n either_o by_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o realm_n or_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n that_o be_v either_o by_o bill_n of_o attainder_n or_o bill_n of_o judictment_n 292._o *_o but_o ordinance_n of_o king_n &_o lord_n king_n and_z commons_z or_o lord_n and_o commons_o be_v no_o law_n of_o the_o land_n see_v their_o own_o law_n publish_v in_o the_o 2._o part_n of_o sir_n ed._n cook_n inst_z fol._n 47._o 48._o and_o 3._o part_n inst_z fol._n 22._o and_o 4._o part_n inst_z fol._n 23._o 25._o 48._o 292._o by_o law_n the_o lord_n have_v no_o jurisdiction_n over_o he_o as_o a_o commoner_n he_o not_o be_v their_o peer_n or_o equal_a beside_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o proceed_n be_v altogether_o illegal_a article_n be_v nothing_o in_o law_n neither_o can_v any_o man_n be_v try_v legal_o by_o article_n nay_o further_o suppose_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o sir_n john_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o high_a treason_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v yet_o if_o there_o be_v no_o establish_a law_n whereby_o his_o life_n may_v be_v legal_o take_v away_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v destroy_v or_o adjudge_v by_o any_o other_o way_n neither_o by_o martial_a law_n nor_o ordinance_n for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o say_v the_o apostle_n can_v be_v no_o transgression_n nay_o further_o their_o deal_n with_o sir_n john_n plain_o demonstrate_v that_o it_o be_v only_o a_o design_n upon_o his_o life_n see_v there_o be_v no_o colourable_a ground_n why_o they_o if_o they_o intend_v only_o the_o satisfy_n of_o justice_n shall_v not_o have_v proceed_v at_o first_o in_o the_o ordinary_a legal_a way_n by_o bill_n of_o indictment_n see_v if_o he_o be_v culpable_a of_o such_o crime_n as_o they_o pretend_v the_o common_a law_n will_v take_v his_o life_n with_o less_o trouble_n and_o and_o more_o satisfaction_n to_o all_o party_n than_o this_o underhand_a deal_n whereby_o they_o endeavour_v to_o juggle_v he_o out_o of_o his_o life_n nay_o further_o yet_o their_o proceed_n with_o sir_n john_n maynard_n be_v altogether_o illegal_a in_o respect_n that_o they_o adjudge_v that_o treason_n which_o be_v not_o enact_v to_o be_v treason_n by_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o first_o of_o hen._n chap_n 10._o wherein_o that_o uncertain_a proviso_n viz._n that_o the_o judge_n in_o

it_o treason_n etc._n etc._n and_o enact_v that_o in_o time_n to_o come_v nothing_o shall_v be_v esteem_v treason_n but_o what_o be_v literal_o contain_v in_o the_o statute_n of_o o●_n 25_o ed._n 3._o

what_o be_v declare_v and_o express_v in_o the_o 25._o of_o edward_n 3_o chapter_n 2._o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o if_o the_o pretend_a treason_n lay_v unto_o the_o charge_n of_o sir_n john_n maynard_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o those_o gentleman_n now_o imprison_v be_v not_o treason_n according_a to_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o that_o statute_n his_o or_o their_o life_n can_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v

of_o england_n i_o beseech_v you_o lay_v to_o heart_n your_o condition_n when_o tyranny_n ride_v triumphant_a and_o justice_n go_v a_o beg_a what_o can_v you_o think_v will_v be_v your_o portion_n
