A97148	The vindication of the Parliament and their proceedings. Or, Their military designe prov'd loyall and legall. A treatise, wherein these things are ingeniously and sincerely handled; to wit, 1. That the militia as setled by the Parliament is lawfull. 2. That it is lawfull for us to obey it, so setled by them. 3. That the Parliament is not by us to be deserted. 4. That in aiding the Parliament the king is not opposed. 5. That the Parliament (as the case stands) may not confide in the king. 6. That this necessary defensive warre of theirs is indubitably justifiable. Pulchrum pro Patria mori,	Ward, Richard, 1601 or 2-1684.	1642 (1642)	Wing W808aA; Thomason E122_19; ESTC R19259	30,017	36

labour_n with_o their_o life_n and_o estate_n to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v the_o king_n soul_n honour_n reputation_n wealth_n person_n and_o posterity_n therefore_o the_o parliament_n and_o all_o

people_n do_v intend_v the_o least_o indignity_n dishonour_n or_o disloyalty_n to_o the_o king_n and_o it_o be_v most_o perspicuous_o and_o clear_o to_o be_v see_v in_o all_o the_o king_n gracious_a message_n and_o declaration_n that_o he_o have_v no_o design_n upon_o his_o people_n or_o parliament_n neither_o intend_v any_o harm_n opposition_n or_o oppression_n unto_o they_o but_o profess_v to_o rule_v they_o according_a to_o law_n and_o equity_n how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o either_o the_o parliament_n will_v not_o or_o dare_v not_o confide_v in_o the_o king_n answ_n 1_o first_o it_o be_v because_o they_o see_v that_o some_o about_o the_o king_n be_v potent_a with_o he_o who_o affect_v not_o the_o parliament_n nor_o their_o proceed_n have_v that_o influence_n in_o his_o counsel_n and_o be_v so_o predominant_a and_o prevalent_a with_o he_o that_o they_o have_v often_o vary_v and_o alter_v he_o from_o his_o word_n and_o promise_n it_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o law_n the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n for_o if_o any_o evil_a act_n be_v commit_v in_o matter_n of_o state_n his_o counsel_n if_o in_o matter_n of_o justice_n his_o judge_n must_v answer_v for_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o lay_v any_o fault_n upon_o the_o king_n but_o rather_o impute_v the_o fault_n which_o have_v be_v of_o late_a obvious_a to_o many_o unto_o some_o about_o he_o or_o in_o great_a favour_n with_o he_o great_a discouragement_n i_o grant_v the_o parliament_n in_o their_o proceed_n have_v have_v from_o the_o king_n but_o i_o dare_v not_o imagine_v that_o they_o come_v original_o and_o primary_o from_o he_o but_o from_o some_o about_o he_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o vast_a difference_n which_o be_v between_o his_o word_n speak_v to_o his_o parliament_n with_o his_o own_o mouth_n when_o he_o be_v with_o they_o and_o the_o message_n send_v unto_o and_o the_o heavy_a charge_n lay_v upon_o they_o in_o his_o letter_n and_o declaration_n now_o when_o he_o be_v absent_a from_o them_o he_o say_v once_o that_o in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n and_o as_o he_o be_v a_o gentleman_n he_o will_v redress_v the_o grievance_n of_o his_o people_n as_o well_o out_o of_o the_o parliament_n as_o in_o it_o again_o that_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o put_v himself_o free_o and_o clear_o upon_o the_o love_n and_o affection_n of_o his_o english_a subject_n again_o we_o do_v engage_v unto_o you_o solemn_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n that_o the_o security_n of_o all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o you_o from_o violence_n be_v and_o ever_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o our_o

parliament_n and_o all_o who_o side_n with_o it_o assist_v it_o or_o obey_v it_o in_o any_o of_o the_o commission_n or_o order_n thereof_o be_v assault_v oppose_v yea_o now_o at_o last_o proclaim_v traitor_n again_o his_o majesty_n do_v profess_v the_o detestation_n of_o a_o civil_a war_n and_o abhor_v as_o he_o say_v the_o very_a apprehension_n of_o it_o but_o this_o mind_n neither_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o they_o who_o come_v with_o his_o majesty_n to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o nor_o who_o accompany_v he_o to_o hampton-court_n and_o appear_v in_o a_o warlike_a manner_n at_o kingston_n

and_o therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o conceive_v that_o the_o king_n be_v put_v upon_o these_o course_n and_o way_n by_o his_o evil_a counsellor_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o parliament_n can_v confide_v in_o his_o word_n and_o promise_n until_o those_o councillor_n be_v put_v from_o he_o or_o forsake_v by_o he_o and_o answ_n 2_o second_o because_o of_o that_o trust_n which_o be_v repose_v in_o they_o i_o dare_v bold_o say_v that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v take_v or_o make_v those_o protestation_n which_o he_o make_v in_o his_o message_n and_o declaration_n unto_o any_o one_o of_o the_o parliamenthouse_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o any_o promise_n either_o unto_o they_o or_o they_o which_o do_v simple_o and_o sole_o concern_v themselves_o they_o will_v believe_v and_o obey_v he_o and_o without_o any_o further_a question_n confide_v in_o he_o but_o they_o can_v do_v this_o in_o the_o case_n and_o place_n wherein_o they_o be_v the_o trust_v repose_v by_o the_o people_n in_o the_o parliament_n be_v as_o well_o to_o preserve_v the_o kingdom_n by_o make_v of_o new_a law_n when_o and_o where_o there_o shall_v be_v need_n as_o by_o observe_v and_o put_v the_o law_n already_o

alone_o upon_o his_o bare_a word_n because_o if_o after_o such_o confide_n of_o they_o in_o the_o king_n upon_o his_o faithful_a promise_n unto_o they_o he_o shall_v be_v over-swayed_n and_o seduce_v by_o some_o wicked_a counselor_n to_o lay_v some_o illegal_a imposition_n taxation_n and_o burden_n upon_o his_o people_n as_o he_o do_v soon_o after_o the_o grant_n of_o the_o petition_n of_o right_n unto_o the_o subject_a the_o kingdom_n than_o will_v and_o may_v just_o blame_v they_o as_o the_o author_n of_o their_o grievance_n that_o have_v so_o light_o give_v away_o their_o liberty_n and_o

if_o the_o parliament_n shall_v whole_o confide_v in_o the_o king_n word_n and_o promise_n than_o there_o be_v no_o more_o requisite_a in_o they_o than_o this_o to_o make_v a_o declaration_n unto_o his_o majesty_n of_o the_o grievance_n burden_n annoyance_n and_o illegal_a proceed_n in_o all_o or_o such_o and_o such_o court_n or_o person_n to_o the_o great_a oppression_n and_o heartbreak_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o have_v so_o do_v to_o obtain_v some_o serious_a promise_n and_o protestation_n from_o the_o king_n to_o take-off_a all_o these_o pressure_n and_o to_o be_v careful_a for_o the_o future_a that_o no_o such_o shall_v be_v impose_v upon_o they_o and_o then_o to_o confide_v in_o the_o king_n and_o to_o breake-up_a the_o parliament_n and_o repair_v every_o one_o to_o his_o own_o house_n now_o if_o sense_n reason_n experience_n and_o knowledge_n will_v tell_v we_o that_o this_o be_v far_o from_o or_o come_v far_o short_a of_o the_o true_a nature_n and_o duty_n of_o a_o

of_o this_o kingdom_n whole_o and_o sole_o unto_o he_o and_o consequent_o grant_v he_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n to_o rule_v we_o according_a
