passages compared with the Armies late Remonstrance and Declaration it is most perspicuous to all the Kingdome 1. That the Officers and Army have offered far greater violence to the Priviledges Houses and Members of Parliament and acted more towards the dissolution of this present and subversion of all future Parliaments then ever the King or his Cavaliers the Gunpowder traytors Germyn or Percy did or the Reformadoes and London Apprentices did whom yet the Officers and Army declared against and prosecuted as Traytors though they neither imprisoned nor kept back any Member from the Houses 2. That they have violated their Covenants Oaths Trusts and solemne ingagements to the Parliament City Country and Kingdome in as high or higher degree as ever the King and his evill Counsellors did in invading the priviledges forcing the Houses imprisoning the Members of Parliament and indeavouring by open force to subvert the fundamentall Government Lawes Liberties and Customes of the Realme and the Ancient frame and being of Parliaments for defence of all which they were raised and covenanted to fight for and maintain That they have usurped a far greater and more dangerous arbitrary and tyrannicall power over both Houses of Parliament and their Members and over the persons and estates of their fellow-Subjects then ever the King or the worst of his Counsellors did and that under the feigned pretences of present necessity and common safety of which they make themselves the only supreme Iudges not the Parliament as the King did in the case of Ship-money and therefore they must either justifie or acquit the King his party from all those charges objections against him in their late Remonstrance for which they presse the Houses in point of justice both to depose and execute him as a Traitor to the Common-wealth or els incur the self-same crime and guilt and subject themselves to the same judgment and execution which they desire to be inflicted upon Him and His The names of the imprisoned Members M.

For it was not an enemie that reproached me then I could have borne it neither was it he that hurted me that did magnifie himselfe against me then I could have hid my selfe from him But it was thou a man mine equall my guide and mine acquaintance We took sweet counsell together and walked unto the house of God in company Let death seize upon them and let them goe downe quick into hell for wickednesse is in their dwellings and amongst them As for me I will call upon God and the Lord shall save me A true Copie of a Letter written by an Independent Agent for the Army from Paris in France to an Independent Member of the House of Commons a great Creature and Patriot of the Army Extracted out of the originall Deare Sir I Was exceeding glad to receive the Doctors lines that intimated your recovery from that distemper that had seized upon you I doubt not but it had this effect upon you to let you see what a fraile thing our bodies are and what need we have to be sure of our building not made with hands reserved in heaven for us I am at present praised be God indifferent well the place where I am in respect of all outward accommodations very well agreeing with me and very much exceeding England onely defective in this that I cannot find a M. Westrow nor Doctor Stanes here to make a bosome-friend and yet in that it is not altogether so barren as I did and you may well imagine it I am fallen into the acquaintance of three or foure Catholikes of very great ingenuity and in their way of much Religion undoubtedly it is an error to look at all Papists through the same perspective for they are more to be differenced then English Papists can be I find their opinion of and dependence upon the Pope little or nothing what we imagine it to be and better principled to make members of a Commonwealth then the most English Their opposition to the King is not to be reconciled their hopes are now upon the Army to whom they wish all prosperity as to the setling of a Representative being extremely distasted with Regall hereditary power throughout the world It seems my Lord Say hath undertaken to procure a Passe from the House for Sir Kellam Digby to come over to England he is not according to your rule a Delinquent but it seems came over into France by the House of Commons Licence acquitted from any crime Let me desire you when it comes to be moved in your House give it the best promotion you can one would think a businesse so reasonable should find no opposition But to such a constitution as you are of no man can tell what is reasonable He never was in Armes and I believe can easily answer any thing that can be objected save his Religion why he should be from under Sequestration Let me intreat you to speak to as many of your acquaintance as you can that when it comes to be moved it may not be repulsed I could heartily wish you and Mrs. Westrow and the Doctor had a good occasion to bring you over into France if so I should not think of returning into England whilest you stayed I have no more at present but my own and wifes best respects to you and Mrs. Westrow I remaine Paris 28. Novemb. 1648. Your very assured friend A. B. By this Letter it is apparent That the Jesuited Papists in France are in such opposition to our King for his compliance with his Houses of Parliament to settle the Kingdome and extirpate Masse and Popery that they are not to be reconciled to him and therefore indeavour to depose and bring him to execution and disinherit his posterity That their hopes to effect this their designe against and execute this their revenge upon the King are now upon the Army to whom they wish all prosperity That they foment and prosecute with their prayers and advice the Armies new Modell for setling of a Representative in Parliament of purpose to dissolve this present Parliament which hath acted so much against them and their Popish Religion and is now giving it its finall and fatall blow if they and the King shall close and to subvert all Parliaments for the future for feare of falling into the like danger by them That Independents and friends of the Army have a far better opinion of Roman Catholikes then English Protestants as being better principled to make members of a free Commonwealth then they And therefore are more likely to favour and close with Roman Catholikes then English Protestants in carrying on their new designes expressed in their late Remonstrance That the Jesuites and Roman Catholikes are extremely distasted with Regall hereditary power throughout the world the onely obstacle to their designes in subverting the Protestant Religion and making all Kingdoms meere vassalls to the Pope and Sea of Rome and therefore the Officers and Army in prosecuting their Remonstrance and new intended Representative and subverting Regall hereditary power do most apparently carry on nought else but the very Jesuites and Roman Catholikes Interests and designes and accomplish their desires either wittingly or willingly as acting by their principles if not counsells and aiming at their very ends which is high time for all wise and well-affected Protestants both in the Army Parliament and City and our three Kingdoms most seriously to consider and prevent the imminent ruine and destruction even of our Reformed Religion it self and our hereditary Monarchy the present and all succeeding Parliaments our Lives Liberties and Kingdomes all now drawing to their fatall period by the heady violence trechery and disobedience of that very Army which hath been raised cried up and trusted upon too much as their onely Saviours for which God in justice may now make them their principall and sudden destroyers unlesse both they and we repent FINIS
