An Abstract of the Proceedings of Parliament from the first Convention Nov. 3. 1640. unto the taking up of Arms which was June 10. 1642. According to three distinct periods of time The first Period containing severall Acts passed by the King and both Houses of Parliament 1 FOr a Trienniall Parliament 2.

For the continuance of this Parliament By which Acts the severall Grievances were remedied which the Lords had set forth in their Petition lately presented to His Majesty at Yorke Aâ— also by the first and the last of those Acts assurance was giveâ— of farther remedies in that kinde both for the present and for the time to come as is set forth in the Remonstrance of the state of the Kingdome Decemb. 15. The second Period containing the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament before the Tumults 1. A Bill for removing the Bishops from their Votes in the 1641. Bishops Votes Lords House passed the House of Commons In the House of Peeres after severall long free debates it was by very much the major part absolutely rejected 2. A Bil was brought into the House of Commons for the extirpation Root and branch of Bishops and of Deanes and Chapters but it passed not 3. Sir Arthur Haslerig brought in a Bill to place a Generall at Land and an Admirall at Sea with absolute power over the Subject and it was rejected 4. The House of Lords published an Order for the due observation Publick worship of the Laws concerning the publique worship of God 9. Sept. 5. A Vote passed in the House of Commons for the Book of Book of Common prayer Common Prayer in Novemb. The third Period containing the proceedings between the King and the Houses of Parliament since the Tumults 1. In Decemb. the House of Commons published a Remonstrance of the state of the Kingdome setting forth all the Errors of His Majesties Government Wherein also they declare That the Party of Bishops and Popish Lords in the House of Peeres have hindred the proceeding of divers good Bills passed Tumulâ—s in the Commons House concerning the Reformation of sundry great Abuses and Corruptions both in Church State And thereupon the Tumultuous People in and about London resort to Westminster with clubs and swords crying through the streets Westminster-Hall and between the two Houses No Bishops No Bishops No Popish Lords and misusing the severall Members of either House who they were informed Bishops Votes favoured not their ends and using seditious and traiterous speeches against His Majesty himselfe The Lords twice moved the House of Commons to joynâ— with them in an Order against Tumults His Majesty also sent a Message to the Lord Mayor for preventing the like tumultuous Assemblies 2. Ian. 4. The King exhibited Articles of High-Treason against The Members accusâ—d the Lord Kymbolton and the five Members as for other matters so for endeavouring to subvert the Fundamentall Lawes and Government of this Kingdome and to deprive him of his Regall power and to place an Arbitrary and Tyrannicall power in Subjects and for raising and countenancing Tumults thereby to compell the Parliament to order limit and dispose their Proceedings as might concur with their Designs Upon an Order published by the House of Commons against the Arresting of their Members the King goes in Person to demand them The Houses thereupon adjourn themselves into London and the City takes the Members into protection under pretence of maintaining the priviledge of Parliament The neighbouring Counties also do the like as appears by their several Petitions And Ian. 11. the accused Members are guarded to Westminster with a great force both by water and land To compose these distempers his Majesty sent a Message to both Houses Ian. 20. Advising them to take into consideration all such particulars as they held necessary for upholding his just Regall power and setling his Revenue as also for establishing Religion with due regard to tender consciences in point of Ceremonies and for securing their Priviledges and the liberty of the Subject 3. For their better security whilst they should debate pursue The power of the Kingdom this Message the House of Commons Petition his Majesty that the Militia and the forts and Castles may be put in the hands of such men as they did conside in Ian. 27. Because the Major part of Lords would not concur with the House of Com. in the busines of the Militia the poor people in The Militia and about London petition the House of Commons against those Lords as Malignants and as disturbers of their peace and threaten to remove them Ian. 31. so they withdrew themselves and the Militia was carried by the remaining party of the Lords In Febr. and March Both the Houses petition the King about the Militia His Majesty condescends to commit the Execution of the Militia in the severall Counties to such men as they should râ—commend unto him But this satisfied them not and they vote his Majesties Commissions of Lieutenancy to be Illegall and they settle the Militia by an Ordinance excluding his Majesty from any power in the disposition or execution of it In Aprill when his Majesty sent them the Message of his intention to go into Ireland he sent them also a Bill for setling the Militia of the whole Kingdom for one yeare in the hands of those men they had recommended unto him so that himself should not be able to execute it without the advise of the Parliament and when his Majesty should be out of the Kingdom the sole execution to be in them They on the contrary offer him a Bill for setling it absolutely in the hands of some men excluding his Majesty altogether for

two yeares In May They Declare against the Kings Negative Voice The Kings negâ—tive Vote even in the businesse of the Militia without which his Majesty cannot discharge his Kingly Office and protect his people Also they say that they should not want modesty or duty if they followed the highest precedents of other Parliaments 4. To compose the differences arisen to satisfy their feares The 19 Propositions and jealousies they offer to his Majesty 19 Propositions Iune 2. which strike at Regall power it self and would transfer it to and settle it in the Houses of Parliament for everâ— and so of a Monarchy would make this an Aristocracy and Democracy sutable to the Government they intend in the Church the Presbitery and upon the Kings refusall of them they publish Propositions for bringing in of money c. to raise an Army Iune 10. 5. From the premises it appeares that the publike grievances The result of the Kingdome were all remedied at the beginning of the Parliament And that presently there was an attempt by some to alter the government of the Church and State And when they could not compasse it in a free Parliamentary way that they attempted it first by Tumults foreing the Parliament and afterward by Armes to force the King And in this case I would have every one complying with them to consider the Doctrine of the Church of Scotland concerning the Civil Magistrates delivered in these following words We confesse and acknowledge Empires Kingdomes Dominions The Scottish Confession and Cities to be distincted and ordained by God The powers and Authoritits in the same be it of Emperors in their Empires Kings in their realmes Dukes and Princes in their Dominions and of other Magistrates in their Cities to be Gods Holy Ordinance ordained for the manifestation of his own Glory and for the singular profit and commodity of mankinde so that whosoever goeth about to take away or to confound the whole State of Civil policies now long established we affirme the same men not onely to be enemies to mankinde but also wickedly to fight against Gods expressed will It being evident how and by what meanes the Power of the Kingdom was seized on and why and to what end Armes were taken up on the one side t is thereby manifest also wherefore they are taken up on the other side 1. To maintaine the Liberty and Freedom of Vote in Parliament Why the King taketh up Armes against Tumults 2. For recovery of his Majesties Rights and Prerogatives 3. For redemption of the subject in point of Propriety and Liberty from new and illegall impositions and imprisonments 4. To reduce the subject to obedience in point of the Militia and of the Lawes concerning Religion So the King and his forces come amongst you to Right the Parliament The advertisements and himself and to reduce you and to take you into his protection and to require aide and comfort of you And saith the confession of the Church of Scotland which by the Covenant you To the City and Countries have sworne to maintaine They who deny comfort and aide to Kings and Princes travelling vigilantly in their office as his Majesty doth even to the hazard of his life deny aide and comfort to God himself who requires it of them by his Lieutenant Besides we have all a speciall obligation upon us by our Oathes of Allegiance and Supremacy to defend the Kings Person his Crowne and Dignity and to maintaine and defend all his Preheminences Priviledges and Prerogatives whatsoever Nor do his Majesties forces come as you conceive to invade spoile kill and slay nor to exercise any hostility unlesse opposed by you and opposing in this case doubtlesse you cannot but be guilty of resisting the Ordinance of God Rom. 13. and of all the bloodshed and rapine and devastation that shall happen upon your resistance And whereas men ordinarily engage themselves for Liberty and for Religion I would have them to consider as I conceive 1. That our Liberty as it was sufficiently asserted and setled by Of Liberty divers Acts in the beginning of the Parâ— so it might have been kept inviolate by the authority of the Parl. sitting so long as they please and by the power of the Militiâ— setled in the hands of those men whom they had recommended to His Majesty But I feare Liberty with subjection doth not suffice now and the affectation of Liberty without Subjection is no lesse then Rebellion 2. That our Religion by Law established might have been preserved Of Religion also by the same Authority and Power and by the same meanes their Priviledges also might have been preserved and secured Besides his Majesty by his Proclamation had required the due observation of the Lawes concerning Religion and it is a cause in part of his Majesties taking up Armes to maintaine the Religion by Law established And as concerning Popery to suppresse the growth thereof Of Popery his Majesty had by a Proclamation required the Lawes against Popish Recusants to be put in execution without favor or connivence And to root out Popery his Majesty offered to joyne with the two Houses in any further Act against Priests and Jesuits disturbing the State and against Papists eluding the Laws by trust and for the education of the children of Papists by Protestants in the Protestant Religion But their extirpation must be Military not Parliamentary And they are not content with preserving but fight for altering Religion by Law established if not in Doctrine as I doubt whether the Doctrine of the Church of England concerning Active and Passive Subjection delivered in the bookes of Homilies will stand or no yet in the forme of Worship and frame of Church Government and that against the Lawes the King the Order and Vote of the Houses before the Tumults Lastly whereas men flatter themselves that they fight for Gods cause and for Christs cause i. e. For the Presbyterian Discipline Oâ— Christ his cause and Government which they conceive to be of Gods and Christs own institution I would have them enquire and informe themselves whether the House of Commons have not voted that Government and Discipline not to be of Divine Right and whether Of the Presbytery they have not resolved and professed that they wil admit no Church Government to be of Divine Right that they may order and alter it as they please and whether this be not the chiefe reason wherefore they deny the Divine Right of Episcopacy PROV 24. 21 22. My Son feare thou the Lord and the King and meddle not with them that are given to change For their calamity shall rise suddenly and who knoweth the ruine of them both FINIS
