themselves and the people with the word Parliament without the King and with the Covenant whereas they know they are no Parliament without His Majesty And that English men throwout the Kingdome should swear a Covenant to preserve the reformed Religion of Scotland in Doctrine Worship Discipline and Government which they do no more know than the Doctrine Worship Discipline and Government of Prester John in Aethiopia 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 hour 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 mens 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 Quaere is thus answered You resemble the Army to Jack Cade and his complices and you cite the Act of Parliament of 31. Hen. 6. cap. 1. And that it may appear who acts the part of Jack Cade you and that party in the two Houses or the Army I think it necessary to set down the said Act in words at length as followeth First VVhereas the most abominable Tyrant horrible odious arrant false Traytor John Cade calling and nameing himself sometime Mortimer sometime Capt. of Kent which name fame acts and feates are to be removed out of the speech and minds of every faithfull Christian man perpetually falsly and tralterously purposing and imagining the perpetuall destruction of the Kings said Person finall subversion of this Realm taking upon him Royall Power and gathering to him the Kings people in great numbers by false subtile imagined language and seditiously making a stirring Rebellion Insurrection under colour of Iustice for Reformation of the Lawes of the said King robbing stealing and spoyling 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 the advice and consent of the Lords aforesaid at the request of the said Commons and by authority aforesaid hath Ordained and established that the said John Cade shall be reputed had named and declared a false Trayper to enr Soveraigne Lord the King and that all his tyranny acts feats and false opinions shall be voyded abated nulled destroyed and put out of remembrance for ever and that all Indictments and all things depending thereof had and made under to power of Tyranuy shall be likewise void anuulled abated repealed and holden for none and that the blood of none of them be thereof defiled nor corrupted but by the Authority of the said Parliament clearly declared for ever and that all Indictments in times coming 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 VVestm Nov 6 in the 29. of his r●igne against his mind by him not agreed shall be taken and put in oblivion out of remembrance undone voided a●ulled 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 we are to examine who hath trod in the steps of Iack Cade you and the present prevailing party of both Houses tooke upon them and do take all the Royall power in all things so did Iack Cade as appeares by the said Act the Army do not so They who imprison the King purpose to destroy his person our imprisoned Kings aswaies * Edward 1. Henry 6 Richard 2. fared so Iack Cade did likewise so purpose The said party in the two Houses made a stirring under colour of Instice for reformation of the Lawes so did Iac Cade The Army do not so but desire that the Lawes should be observed lack Cade levied war against the King The Army preserves Him Iack Cade dyed a Declared Traitor to his Soveraign Lord the King this army might have lived to have the glorious true Honor of being restorers of their King Simon Sudbury Archbishop of Canterbury was murthered by Jack Straw William Laud Archbishop of Canterbury was likewise murthered by that party of the two Houses 25 Ed. 3 4.28 Ed. 3.3 Petition of Right for that an Ordinance hy Law cannot take away any mans life and his life was taken away by an Ordinance of the two Houses the army had no hand in it Many misted by Iack Straw perceiving his Trayterous purposes fell from him and as that was lawfull just and honourable so it is for this Army to adhere to their naturall King and so endeavour to settle the Kingdome again in the just Lawes and Liberties thereof London did then right worthily adhere to the King and the Laws and not to Jack Straw and his specious pretences and it is hoped they will now so do By this it appeares that the Gentlemans Discourse touching Iack Cade fastens altogether on his party and cleareth the Army To the IV. which is resolved thus The Arreares of the Army howbeit it is the least thing they look after yet being not paid them it is by the Law of the Land a sufficient cause to leave and desert that party in the Houses a person who serves in any kinde and is not paid his Wages the desertion of that service is warrantable by the Lawes of the Land You say the Houses will reforme all things when the Army doth disband Fitz.

Who will believe it Will any beleive that the setling of the Presbytery will do it Will any believe that his Majesty will passe the propositions sent to Him to Newcastle Will any man believe that this Kingdome will ever be quiet without his Majesty and the ancient and just Lawes Can the Members of the Army conceive any of them to be safe in any thing without a pardon from his Majesty Have they not seen some of their fellowes hanged before their eyes for actions done as Soldiers Shall the Kingdom have no acount of the many Millions received of the publique Money Will the Members of the Houses accuse themselves Shall private and publique Debts be never paid Shall the Kingdome lie ever under burthens of oppression and Tyranny There is no visible way to remedy all these Enormities but the power of the Army To the V. wich is solved thus The Kingdom hath better assurance of Reformation from the Army than from the Houses for that in their Military way they have been just faithfull and honourable they have kept their words That party of the Houses have been constant to nothing but in dividing the publique Treasure among themselves
