What credit is to be given to persons who make nothing of Oathes and contradict themselves How d●e the Covenant and the Oath of Supremacy agree How doth their Protestation and the Covenant agree How doe their Declarations and Oathes agree The Lord be mercifull to this Land for these Oaths It is a sad thing to consider that so many gentlemen who professe the lawes and so many worthy men in both Houses should be so transported as they are knowing that the Lawes of the Land from time to time and in all times are contrary to all their actions and that yet they should amuse themselves and the people with the word of Parliament without the King and with the Covenant whereas they know they are no Parliament without His Majestie and that English men throughout the Kingdome should sweare a Covenant to preserve the reformed Religion of Scotland in Doctrine Worship Discipline and Government which they no more know than the Doctrine Worship Discipline and Government of Prester Iohn in Ethiopia if they consider it they cannot but discerne that this is a high desperate and impious madnesse Be wise in time without the King and the Lawes you will never have one houre of safety for your Persons Wives Children or Estates Be good to your selves and to your Posterities apply your selves to be capable of an Act of Oblivion and of a generall Pardon and to be able and willing to pay the Souldiery and to allow a reasonable liberty for m●●● consciences and God will blesse your endeavours and the people to whom you are now very hatefull will have you in better estimation The third Quarie is thus answered You resemble the Army to Iacke Cade and his Complians and you cite the Act of Parliament of 31. Hen. 6. cap. 1. and that it may appeare who acts the Part of Iacke Cade you and that Party in the two Houses or the Army I thinke it necessary to set downe the said Act in words at large as followeth First Whereas the most abominable Tyrant horrible odious and arrant false Traytor Iohn Cade calling and naming himself sometime Mortimer sometime Cap. of Kent which name fame acts and feats are to be removed out of the speech and mind of every faithfull Christian man perpetually falsely and traiterously purposing and imagining the perpetuall destruction of the Kings said Person and finall subversion of this Realme taking upon him Royall power and gathering to him the Kings people in great numbers by false subtle imagined Language and seditiously making a stirring Rebellion and Insurrection under colour of justice for reformation of the Lawes of the said King robbing stealing and spoiling great part of his faithfull people Our said Soveraigne Lord the King considering the premises with many other which were more odious to remember by advise and consent of the Lords aforesaid and at the request of the said Commons and by authority aforesaid hath ordained and established that the said Iohn Cade shall be reputed had named and declared a false Traytour to our Soveraigne Lord the King and that all his tyranny acts feats and false opinions shall be voyded abated annulled destroyed put out of remembrance for ever and that all enditements and all things depending thereof had and made under the power of tyranny shall be like wise void annulled anated repealed and holden for none and that the bloud of 〈…〉 them be thereof defiled nor corrupted but by the authority of the said Parliament cleerely declared for even and that all enditements in times comming in like case under power of tyranny rebellion and stirring had shall be of no Record nor effect but void in Law and all the Petitions delivered to the said King in his last Parliament holden at VVestminster Noveb 6. in the 29. of his Raigne against his mind by him not agreed shall be taken and put in oblivion out of remembrance undone voyded annulled and destroyed for ever as a thing purposed against God and conscience and against His Royall Estate and preeminence and also dishonourable and unreasonable Now wee are to examine who hath trod in the step● of Jack Cade you and the present prevailing party of the two Houses tooke upon them and doe take all the Royall Power in all things so did Jack Cade as appeares by the said Act the Army doe not so They who imprison the King purpose to destroy His Person our imprisoned Kings alwayes * Edward ● Henry 6.
