THat the Cappitall and grand Authour of our troubles the person of the King by whose Commissions commands or procurement and in whose behalfe and for whose interest onely of will and power all our Wars and troubles have been with all the miseries attending them may be speedily brought to justice for the Treason bloud and mischiefe he is therein guilty of 2 That a timely and peremptory day may be set for the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Yorke to come in and render themselves by which time if they doe not that then they may be immediately declared incapable of any government or trust whatsoever and to stand exild for ever as enemies and Traytors to die without mercy if ever after taken And if they or either of them render themselves within the said time that then the Prince for his capital delinquency being in appearance next to his fathers and himself and the Duke to be proceeded against in justice or remitted according as they shall give satisfaction But however that the Estate Revenue of the Crown may be sequestred and all the matter of costly Pomp suspended for a good number of yeeres while the desolations and spoyles of the poore people may be repaired for the ease of the peoples contributions 3 That for further satisfaction to publique justice capitall punishment and may be speedily executed upon a competent number of his chiefe Instruments also and such as are really in your hands or reach so as their exemption from pardon may not be a mockery of Justice in the face God and man 4 That the rest of the Delinquents English in relation to the Wars may upon submission and rendring themselves to justice have mercy extended to them for their lives and Fines set upon them moderately yet with respect to publique dammage and their persons further censured and declared incapable of any Office or Trust of electing or being elected at least for certaine yeeres but such as have compounded to be pardoned and freed from any troubles suits c. in relation to the last Wars But such as wil not come in and compound their estates to be sold and their bodies to be ever exil'd as enemies and Traytors and to die without mercy 5 That satisfaction of the Arrears of the Souldiery with other publique debts and the competent reparation of publique dammages especially of the well affected who have adheared to and suffered for the common cause may be put into some orderly and proportionable way wherein care may be taken for precedency of satisfaction to such whose loanes or losses have appeared to have been great and livelihoods small so as they can worst beare the want or delay not impairing any former securities for just debts That the Fines or Compositions of Delinquents may be disposed of and imployed to those uses onely and also the confiscations and proceeds of their estates Now after Justice thus done upon the forementioned particulars we propound further for setling of the Kingdoms 1 That you would settle some reasonable and certaine period to your own power by which time that great and supreame trust reposed in you shall be returned into the hands of the people from and for whom you received it 2 That with a short period to this Parliament in relation to the safety of the Kingdom and publique interest thereof there may be a sound settlement of the peace and future government thereof upon grounds of common Right Freedome and Safety to this effect viz. 1 That from the end of this there may be a certaine succession of future Parliaments Annuall or Bienniall with secure provision for the certainty of their sitting meeting and ending 2 For the equall distribution of Elections thereunto to render the House of Commons as neere as may be an equall representative of the whole people electing 3 For the certainty of the peoples meeting according to such distributions to elect and for their full freedomes in Elections And that no delinquents shal elect or be elected at least for some yeers nor any other that shall not oppose or not joyn in agreement to this settlement 4 For future clearing and assertaning the power of the said Representatives in order to which that it be declared That as to the whole interest of the people of England such Representatives have and shall have the Supream power and trust as to the making of Lawes Constitutions and Offices for the ordering preservation and government of the whole and as to the altering and repealing or abolishing of the same the making of War or peace and as to the highest and finall judgement in all Civill things and all to be subject thereunto and bound thereby Provided 1 That they may not censure or question any man after the end of this Parliament for any thing said or done in relation to the late Wars 2 That they may not render up or give or take away any the foundations of common Right Liberty or Safety contained in this setlement and agreement but that the power of these be reserved from and not intrusted to the said Representatives 3 For liberty of entring dissents in the said Representatives that in case of corruption or abuse in these things the people may be in capacity to know who are free thereof and who guilty These matters of generall concernment we propound to be Declared and provided by this Parliament or by authority of the Commons here and to be further established by a generall contract or Agreement of the people with their
