Col. John Lilburne prerogative prisoner in the Tower of London and Richard Overton prerogative prisoner in the infamous Gaole of Newgate Febr. 1647. Ier. 7.8 9.10 Behold yee trust in lying words that cannot profit Will yee steale murther and commit adultery and sweare falsly and burne incense unto Baal and walke after other Gods whom yee know not and come and stand before me in this house which is called by my name and say we are delivered to doe all these abominations Verse 6. Therefore pray not for this people neither lift up cry nor prayer for them neither make intercession to me for I will not heare thee Mat. 13.14 Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites for yee devoure widowes houses and for a pretence make long prayers therefore you shall receive the greater damnation GEntle men Anti-Magistrates we are not but owne Magistracy as Gods Ordinance appointed for the good and well being of man-kind Rom. 13.1.2.3.4.5.6 Unto whose power and Authority in all lawfull things we both have and are willing to stoop unto but no further neither doe we crave or desire any favour priviledge or benefit but what is given unto us by the good established and just Lawes of England which the Parliament solemnly have often sworne to maintain of which for our particulars we have for many moneths been robd of by the tyranny and usurpation of the Lords commonly called the House of Peeres now sitting at Westminster who have usurpedly and contrary to the just and knowne Law of the Land assumed unto themselves by the law of their owne wills a power in criminall causes to judge and commit us who are Commoners which by law they have no authority not in the least to doe as appeares in the twenty ninth Chapter of Magna Charta which expresly saith No freeman shall be taken or imprisoned or be disseised of his free-hold or liberties or free customes or be out-lawed or exiled or any otherwise distroyed nor we will not passe upon him nor condemne him but by lawfull judgement of his Peers or by the law of the Land We will sell to no man we will not deny nor deferre to any man either justice or right And the 3. E. 1. 6. likewise expresly saith and that no City Borough norrowne nor any man be amerced without reasonable cause and according to the quantity of his trespasse that is to say every free man saving his free hold 9 H. 3. 1● A Merchant saving his Merchandize a Villain saving his waynage and that by his or their Peers Which 29 Chap. of Magna Charta is expresse by name confirmed in the Petition of Right made in the third yeare of the present King Charles which absolutely abolisheth all Lawes made in derogation of the said just Law which Petition of Right and every clawse therein contained is expresly confirmed by this present Parliament as appeares by the statute that abolished the Star Chamber and the statute that abolished Ship money And that learned man of the Law Sir Edward Cooke in his exposition of Magna Charta which booke is published to the publique view of the Kingdome as Law by two speciall orders of the present House of Commons as in the last pag. thereof you may read who in his exposition of the 14. chap. of Magna Charta 2. part institutes fol. 28. saith that by Peers is meant Equalls and in fol. 29. he saith the generall division of persons by the Law of England is either one that is Noble and in respect of his Nobility of the Lords House of Parliament or one of the Commons of the Realm and in respect thereof of the House of Commons in Parliament and as there be divers degrees of Nobility as Dukes Marquesses Earles Viscounts and Barons and yet all of them are comprehended within the word PARES so of the Commons of the Realme there be Knights Esquires Gentle-men Citizens yea men and Burgesses of severall degrees and yet all of them of the Commons of the Realm and as every of the Nobles is one a Peer to another though he be of a severall degree so is it of the Commons and as it hath been said of men so doth it hold of Noble Women either by birth or by marriage but see hereof chap. 29. And in his exposition of chap. 29. pag. 46. Ibim he saith no man shall be disseised that is put out of seison or dispossessed of his free-hold that is lands or lively-hood or of his liberties or free customes that is of such franchises and freedomes and free-customes as belong to him by his free birth-right unlesse it be by the lawfull judgement that is verdict of his EQUALS that is men of his owne condition or by the Law of the Land that is to speake once for all by the due course and processe of Law No man shall be in any sort distroyed to destroy id est what was first built and made wholly to overthrow and pull downe unlesse it be by the verdict of his Equalls or according to the law of the Land And so saith hee is the sentence neither will we passe up him to be understood but by the judgement of his Peers that is Equalls or according to the Law of the Land see him fol. 48. upon this sentence pro judinum parum suorum and pag. 50. he saith it was inacted that the Lords and Peers of the Realm should not give judgement upon any but their Peeres and cites Rot. Parl. 4. E. 3 Num. 6. But the Roule is 4 E. 3. Num. 2 in the case of Sir Simon de Bereford in which the Lords doe ingeniously confesse that it is contrary to Law for them to passe judgement upon a Commoner being they are not their Peers that is Equalls which record at large you may read in The oppressed mans oppressions declared Edition the second page 18 19. And also in part in Vox Plebis pag. 40. 41. So that by what hath been said it cleerly evidently and undeniably appeares by the Law of the Land and the Lords owne confession that they are not the Peers or Iudges of Commoners in any criminall cases whatsoever And we offer at our utmost peril before any legall power in England to maintaine it by the knowne and declared Law of the Land which the Lords themselves have solemnly covinanted and sworne to maintaine that the Lords by the Law of England have not in the least any Iurisdiction at all over any of the Commons of England in any criminall cases whatsoever But if the studious and industrious Reader please to read that notable and late printed booke called Regall tyranny discovered he shall find that the Author of that booke in his 43. 44 45 46 47 and 86. pages layes
