A88244	Regall tyrannie discovered: or, A discourse, shewing that all lawfull (approbational) instituted power by God amongst men, is by common agreement, and mutual consent. Which power (in the hands of whomsoever) ought alwayes to be exercised for the good, benefit, and welfare of the trusters, and never ought other wise to be administered: ... In which is also punctually declared, the tyrannie of the kings of England, from the dayes of William the invader and robber, and tyrant, alias the Conqueror, to this present King Charles, ... Out of which is drawn a discourse, occasioned by the tyrannie and injustice inflicted by the Lords, upon that stout-faithful-lover of his country, and constant sufferer for the liberties thereof, Lieut. Col. John Lilburn, now prisoner in the Tower. In which these 4. following positions are punctually handled ... Vnto which is annexed a little touch, upon some palbable miscarriages, of some rotten members of the House of Commons: which house, is the absolute sole lawmaking, and law-binding interest of England.	Lilburne, John, 1614?-1657.	1647 (1647)	Wing L2172; Thomason E370_12; ESTC R201291	90,580	119

but he was also made King at Shechem by all Israel 1 King 12. ● And afterwards Jeroboam the son of Nebat Solomons servant and all the congregation of Israel went to Rehoboam to claim the making good of the GREAT CHARTER of Nature viz. to claim relaxation of oppression and protection according to justice that is to say that he should doe to them in governing them justly as he would have them to doe to him in yeelding him subjection and obedience this being the whole Law of GOD both Naturall and Morall and therefore they tell Rehoboam that the King ●his Father had broke their Charter and made their Yoak grieuous which you may read of in Chap. 4. Now therefore make thou observe they doe not say Most gracious Soveraigne nor Most excellent Majesty the grievous service of thy Father and his heavy yoak which he put upon us lighter and we will serve thee But the King rejecting the advice and counsell of his old and g●od Counsellors which as we may say was to govern them according to Law contained in Magna Charta and the Petition of Right c. and not to rule and governe them according to his Prerogative or perverse Will For they tell him If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day and wilt serve them mark it well and answer them and speak good words to them then they will bee thy servants for ever But he forsook the counsell of the old men which wee may call GOOD COMMON-WEALTHS-MEN and followed the advice of his young-men which we call the Cavaliers or men for the Prerogative And saith the Text he answered the people roughly saying My Father made your yoak heavy and I will adde to your yoake My Father also chastised you with whi●s but I wil chastise you with Scorpions 1 Kings 12. 3 4 5 6 7 8 14. But saith the Text vers 15 when all Israel saw that the King hearke●ed not unto them the people answered the King saying What portion have we in David Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse To your Tents O Israel Now see to thine own house David So Israel departed to their tents and revolted or rebelled against the House of David and called all the cōgregation of the people together and with an unanimous consent made Jeroboam King over all Israel as Rehoboam was over Juda having both an assignation from GOD 1 King 11. 11 12 13 26 29 30 31 35 37 38. and a solemne legall publick Call and Election from the people 1 Kings 12. 2 3 20 21. and of his Regality and Kingship as legally and justly by God himselfe approved by sending his Prophet tobring the kingdom back to Solomons son to command him and Juda c. Observe he calls them not Rehoboams people not to goe up nor fight against their brethren the children of Israel Which command as most just they observed vers 21 22 23 24 Yea and God himselfe in the 14. chapter and 7. verse beareth witnesse that he himselfe exalted Jeroboam from among the people and made him Prince over his people Israel and rent the Kingdome from the house of David and gave it unto him And afterwards when God upbraids him it was not because he was an usurper a traytor or a ●ebe●l against his masters son King Rehoboam but because he had not been as his servant David was who followed him with a perfect heart but had done evill above all that was before him in making him other Gods and molten Images to provoke me saith God to anger and hast cast me behind thy back So that here is a cleare demonstratio● that it is lawfull in the sight of God as well as in the sight of Man for a people to with-draw their obedience from that Magistrate or King that refuseth to govern them by legall justice but oppresseth them contrary to the end of the trust reposed in him which was never for their woe but for their weale and so breakes that tacit contract that by vertue of his Induction into his Office is Naturally and Rationally implyed to be made although it never be expressed It being as the Parliament saith Book Declar. Pag. 150. irrationall to conceive that when the Militi● of any is com●itted to a Generall although it be not with any expresse condition that he shall not turne the mouthes of his Cannons against his own Sou●diers for say they that is so naturally and necessarily implyed that its needlesse to be expressed insomuch as if he did attempt or cō●●nd any such thing against the nature of his trust and place it did Ipso facto estate the Armie in a right of disobedience except we thinke that obedience binds men to cut their own throates or atleast their Companions Having laid this foundation I will come now to speak something of those five particulars which is before-mentioned and laid down in the sixth page of this Discourse which are thus expressed First if it were granted that the Lords were a legall Jurisdiction and had a judicative power over the Commons yet the manner of the Lords dealing with Lieut. Col. Lilburn is illegall and unjust Secondly That if the Lords were a Judicature yet they have no jurisdiction over Commoners Thirdly That they are no Judicature at all Fourthly That they by Law and Right are no Law-makers Fifthly That by Law and Right it lyeth not in the power of the King nor in the House of Commons it self to delegate the legislative power either to the Lords divided or conjoyned nor to any other persons whatsoever For the first of these viz. That the manner of the Lords proceeding with Lieu. Col. Lilburn was and is illegall is cleer and that I prove thus The Law requires that before the body of a Free-man be attached or summoned to a Bar of Justice to answer a Chage that there shall be an originall Declaration or Charge filed in the Court before so much as either the Writ Attachment or Warrant go out to seize upon or summon the party accused See Sir Edw. Cookes 2. part Institut f. 46 50 51. Read the Statu●e c. quoted in those Margents but there was no such matter in Mr. Lilburns case For although as he declares in his book called The Freemans freedome vindicated page 3 the Lords 10. June 1646. sue out a Warrant to summon him upon sight thereof to answer such things as he stands charged with before their Lordships concerning a Pamphlet entituled The just mans justification or A Letter by way of Plea in Barre And accordingly the 11 of June 1646. he appeared at their Bar expecting there to have received a written Charge according to Law and Justice which they both refused to shew him or let him know whether they had any such legall Charge or no against him but presse him contrary to the Petition of Right and the Law of the Land to answer to Interrogatories concerning himself a practice condemned by themselves in his own case
