A35931 The royalist's defence vindicating the King's proceedings in the late warre made against him, clearly discovering, how and by what impostures the incendiaries of these distractions have subverted the knowne law of the land, the Protestant religion, and reduced the people to an unparallel'd slavery.

thing but by Act of Parliament And if they shall in this case make a new Statute that Law must even by the same Judges be expounded too 3. The Parliament is a body so composed as that it is not onely improper but almost impossible for these persons finally to determine any one point of Law A Court of Judicature ought to consist of one entire body and of such a body as at all times hath power not onely to deliver its owne opinion but by that sentence to decide the question depending before them but the Parliament is not so composed The Members of that Assembly are divided into three severall bodies and their proceedings severall and distinct and obvious it is that in one and the same thing they frequently conclude opposite each to other yet untill all three concur it binds not And so though every Member of those bodies hath given his sentence according to his owne conscience yet the question is not decided and that which is worse peradventure never can be brought to a period for it may fall out these three bodies of the King the Lords House and the Commons may in that perpetually differ in opinion These things considered every rationall man must conclude that the Parliament is not of a Composure fit for this worke nor instituted for that purpose Those things as afterwards in its proper place is more fully shewed are the office of the Judges of the Realme By this it appears that when the two Houses have passed a Bill for an Act of Parliament and to it the Kings Royall Assent is had the Parliaments power ends and then begins the authority of the Judges of the Realme whose office is the case being regularly brought before them first to judge whether the Act it selfe be good and if binding then to declare the meaning of the words thereof And so the necessity of having a power upon emergent occasions to make new Laws is supplied and yet the fundamentall grounds of the Law by this limitation of the power of the Law-maker with reference to the Judges to determine which Acts of Parliament are binding and which void is preserved Upon the whole matter cleere it is The Parliament it selfe that is the King the Lords and Commons although unanimously consenting are not boundlesse the Judges of the Realme by the fundamentall Law of England have power to determine which Acts of Parliament are binding and which void and to expound the meaning of every Statute Thus whilst every person Court and Assembly keep within its owne bounds the knowne Law protecteth every man in his just rights the Subject whilst that is observed need not doubt protection of his person and may securely challenge a property in his estate But the Members do now teach or to speake more properly force upon the people another doctrine They without the King not onely assume the power of a Court of Judicature and that without any appeale from it but an authority and power to make and declare the Law and that boundlesse too whereby Law it selfe is totally destroyed It is a Maxime in Law that every disseisor of Land is seised in fee simple and that no man can give a particular estate by wrong for example A. Tenant for years remainder to B. for life remainder to C. in taile remainder to D. in fee E. outs A. from his possession E. doth not hereby get the estate for years but by that entry hath displaced all the remainders and untill re-entry by A. is wrongfully seised to him and his heires Like unto this was that of the Members They injuriously excluded the King from his negative Voice in Parliament They have not by it gained power to make Laws without Him but whilst they continue this usurpation they wrongfully disinherit both King and people of all their birth-rights The knowne Laws of the Land is by this totally subverted untill the King be reinvested herein we have neither common Law particular custome or Statute Law nor can any man challenge protection of his person or property in his Lands or goods for what Law they make how repugnant to sense and reason how barbarous soever it be neither the Judges of the Realme nor any other if we may believe the Members have power to examine controle or oppose it Thus our excellent Laws the Members have so much so often boasted to defend are by the same persons at the same instant and even by the same medicine excluding the King from His negative Voice they pretended to preserve them destroyed So that I confesse the Members were necessitated not onely to deny the King this power but to assume authority without Him to make Laws and that without stint or limitations for by the knowne Law the facts and proceedings of these Members are Treason Therefore they must make new ones else be judged by the old And to make new Laws yet to admit the Judges power to determine whether they binde or not were to fall into the same Predicament of Treason In the next place it is shewed who are the Judges of the Law which power although with as little reason or sense as the former the Members have usurped too CHAP. V. That the Judges of the Kings Bench of the Common Pleas and the Barons of the Exchequer are the Judges of the Realme unto whom the people are bound lastly and finally to submit themselves for matter of Law BUt some give this power to the Parliament others to the two Houses joyntly others to the Lords House singly and some make the House of Commons Judge of the Law All which are meere surmises by faction raised and spread abroad since this Parliament for besides what before is said herein in the next precedent Chapter upon consideration had of the quality of the persons of those Members the Commission required to authorize a Judge of the Law and the composier of that Body It will appear they are so far from having any such power as that the Lords House in some particular things excepted neither the Parliament nor the two Houses joyntly nor either of them singly can judicially or finally determine any one point of Law First for the quality of the persons And to begin with the House of Commons They consist of Knights of Shires Citizens and Burgesses The Knights of the Shire we see by experience although sometimes men of estates are chosen yet not alwaies of the best understanding For the Citizens and Burgesses the Cities and Corporations for which they serve are Instituted onely for advancement of trade and accordingly the bodies of such townes and places consist of Tradesmen whose educations are onely to learne Crafts and occupations and the far greater number of them mecanick handy-crafts Besides the true cause of authorizing Corporations to send Burgesses to Parliament is that they may give information concerning the Trading in those places to the end if need be to make Laws for the increase thereof And
of His Councell or others as He thought most proper to be consulted with concerning that present occasion if it concerned matter of Law as in these of the exposition of the Statute of Gloucester and the Statute of Bigamy and other such Acts the Judges and other of His Councell learned were principally consulted with if it concerned the people in generall as that of the Statute of Will 1. and other such like the people of all sorts were called to advise with the King what Laws were to be made And so I conceive it was from that time upward to the Conquest Therefore when any Book or History makes mention of a Parliament in those daies that Assembly as I conceive was no other but as aforesaid And rare it was for any King in those times to consult with any other in making Laws but the Prelats the Peers his Privy Councell the Judges and other persons learned in the profession yet doubtlesse never concluded any matter of moment without consent of such his people as were proper to be advised with therein Nor do I conceive it was in the power of any King after William the Conquerour had consented to govern by a known law to alter the fundamentall grounds thereof But in those daies although we were governed by the same law as now yet it appears to me we had not any formed bodies of the Houses nor could any Subject by the law challenge a particular priviledge to be summoned to Parliament nor claim right to a negative voice But now the law is otherwise there be two formed bodies which must be summoned assembled and their assents had before any new law can be made or the old changed the King at this day hath not a power therein without the joint concurrence of the two Houses which constitution of the two Houses and this power which the Members have to consent unto or refuse laws propounded by the King seems to me to have been attained thus Cleer it is nothing is more plausible to the people then to be preserved from extraordinary Taxes and payments of mony And that might induce King Edw. 1. to make a Law which I find he did 34. of his Reign in these words viz. No Tallage or Aid shall be taken or levied by Vs Our Heires in Our Realm without the good will and assent of Archbishops Bishops Earles Barons Knights Burgesses and other Free-men of the land By this the King excluded himself and his Successours by themselves alone to tax or impose upon the people any payments of mony and from thenceforth no subsidy or other aide could be given him by the Subject without consent of Prelats Peers and Commons This I conceive was the first foundation of the House of Commons and the ground-work for the formed bodies of both Houses For it is obvious that if not the principall one chief end of calling Parliaments was and is to raise mony for the publike affaires so that after the aforesaid Statute of 34 Edw. 1. it had been to little purpose to call a Parliament of Prelats and Peers and not to summon the Commons And upon view of the Statute made after that time it appears that those persons were more frequently called And doubtlesse King Edw. 1. and other succeeding Kings finding that the greater number of the Prelats Peers and Commons consenting thereunto more cheerfully the Laws were obeyed it begat in them a desire to increase their number and to have their assent not only to Subsidies but to every New law And accordingly severall Kings summoned more Towns to return Burgesses created new Corporations and granted to them power to send their Deputies yet was it not reduced to any certainty what number were to be summoned to Parliament the aforesaid Statute of 34 Edw. 1. only declaring That no tax c. shall be levied without assent of Arch-bishops Bishops Earles Barons Knights Burgesses and other Free-men of the Land not mentioning how many or what particular persons so that it was still left to the Kings choice how many to call And so continued for a long time after For to the making of the Satute of Staple 27. E. 3. but one single person was summoned for any one County as by the preamble thereof in these words appears viz. Edw. by the grace of God c. Whereas good deliberation had with the Prelats Dukes Earles Barons and great men of the Counties that is to say for every County one for all the County And of the Commons of Cities and Boroughes of our Realme summoned to our great Councell holden at Westminster c. But afterwards all the Bishops and Peers two Knights for a Shire two Citizens for a City and two Burgesses for a Borough towne were usually called And by a Statute made 7. H. 4. the Writ of summons now used was formed and by one other Act made 1. H. 5. direction is given who shall be chosen that is to say for Knights of the Shire persons resiant in the County and for Cities and Boroughes Citizens and Burgesses dwelling there and free-men of the same Cities and Boroughes and no other And so by frequent calling Parliaments constant summoning the Prelates Peers and Commons as aforesaid the Kings not pressing Laws to passe nor any Law being admitted to bind without such consent the Parliament became a body composed thus viz. of the Lords Spirituall the Lords Temporall and the Commons being three Estates and the King head of all and as the soul adding life And by continuance of time it likewise became in the nature of a fundamentall ground That no new Law can be made or the old altered but by the King with the assent of the two Houses of Parliament And yet the King at this day which is evident by common experience hath power to increase the numbers of either House and that without stint Thus the power of the Kings of England was restrained from making Laws without consent of their Subjects as aforesaid wherein the difference is but thus Former Kings in some things without consent of any knowne Body or Assembly had power to alter the old and make new Lawes our King cannot in any one particular alter the old or make a new Law without the assent of the two Houses Yet Monarchy remaines the people are governed by the same Law under the same power as before which is by the Kings sole Authority And Laws now made by Act of Parliament although they bind not without assent of the two Houses yet they are the Kings Laws and are properly said to be made by Him And the Statutes for the most part are and the best forme of penning an Act is thus viz. Be it enacted by the Kings Majesty with the assent of the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and the Commons c. Besides at this day after a Law is made by Act of Parliament the execution of that Law is by the Kings sole
government of the King cannot be forced either in person or estate otherwise then the knowne Law judged by indifferent persons unconcerned as aforesaid doth permit And consequently the people of England a most free subject CHAP. XIII That the people of England under the government claimed by the Members of the two Houses are absolute slaves IT cannot be denied but that where the King or the Supreame Magistrates authority over the people is arbitrary that government is tyrannicall No tyrant ever had or can have a greater power Nor is it possible for people where any Law is admitted to be under a greater servitude For he whose will is a Law as he hath no superiour so by any under his command he cannot be said to erre in judgement be his sentence never so bloody cruell or barbarous the dispute is ended no appeale or Writ of Error lyes so that the wisest man how industrious or conscientious soever cannot for the least instant of time promise to himselfe security of life or challenge property in his estate Therefore if the government in England practised and claimed by the Members be arbitrary it followeth that the people are absolute slaves wherein these things are considerable 1. Who they be that arrogate the government 2. What those persons act de facto 3. What power they claime to have de jure 1. For the first they are the Members of the two Houses being in number the Assemblies admitted full about seven hundred persons They are divided into two severall distinct bodies without any head and every body having equall power Then for their priviledges It is by themselves declared to this effect viz. That none of them although he hath committed Treason Sacriledge Murther Rape Felony or any other crime how execrable soever is to be appehended questioned or prosecuted for the same untill licence be thereunto obtained from that House whereof he is a Member Every offender herein is by their Declarations denounced a breaker of the liberty of the Subject of the priviledge of Parliament and a publike enemy to the Common-wealth And such a licence being obtained and the Malefactor thereupon apprehended he is not say they to be prosecuted by indictment or otherwise but in such manner and before such persons as that Assembly thinks fit to direct their persons are so sacred as that none but themselves must judge their actions Thus for the persons commanding 2. What they act de facto We see by a new Law called an Ordinance made by themselves without the King the late Arch-Bishop of Canterbury was condemned to death and executed They have confiscated his and other mens estates and by the same pretence they have taxed the people to the twentieth and fift part of their fortunes They have laid an imposition upon the Subject heretofore not heard of in England called an Excise They have taxed them with vast impositions and payments of money by way of assessements and otherwise at pleasure They receive and dispose of the confiscations and of all the aforesaid summes of money as themselves thinke fit They assume the power finally to declare and Judge the Law and by colour of their owne authority they have de facto repealed severall Acts of Parliament And have imposed upon the people new Lawes of their devising 3. What they claime to have de Jure if themselves be asked whether by Law they have not power to act the foresaid things If they have not authority without appeale to determine what is Treason murder felony or other capitall offence To put to death who they please To confiscate any mans estate To tax or impose upon the people without stint whether the profits of those confiscations taxes and impositions be not at their owne dispose and all this without any account To these they doe they have already answered affirmatively However all men of judgement may be herein satisfied The Members had lawfull power to put to death the Bishop of Canterbury and to seize his estate else he was murdered and his estate seized against Law now if they had therein lawfull authority it followeth that by the same Law they may whether guilty or not guilty of a crime put to death any other who they shal say deserveth to dye and may confiscate whose estate they please dispose thereof to their own use or otherwise as they thinke fit And accordingly we see they have and are going fast on as theives do their booties to divide and share the wealth of the Kingdome amongst themselves If they did lawfully tax the people to a fifth part by the same Law they may tax them to their full worth And for excise admit them to have power to charge any commodity with one peny and it cannot be denied them to have power to tax every one for every drop of drinke or morsell of m●●t or what he buyes or sels to the full double or treble value thereof If they have power to repeale one Act of Parliament they have authority to repeale all the statutes in England And if they have authority to impose upon the people one Law their power therein is without limitation They may inforce upon the Subject what Laws they please and consequently their power claimed as highly arbitrary and tyrannicall as any have or can claime to have And having made this claime Then for their security therein they tell us that in all matters both for soul and body we have no Judge upon earth but themselves and denounce every one an enemy to this new State who shall deny that to be the Law which they declare Law Yet even now the people are told that they are and shall be governed by the knowne Law because say they Judges are appointed and suites of Law admitted Answer There was never any Tyrant but in some sort permitted a known Law among his vassals else the slaves could not acquire estates and so confiscations to the Tyrant would prove inconsiderable By the Laws of England a villaine hath power to buy and purchase and is therein protected against all persons his Lord excepted But the Lord may seize his estate beate or strike his villaine at his pleasure The Turke who hath been accompted the greatest tyrant his vassals acquire vast fortunes and are by a Law protected therein against their fellow slaves But the Turke at pleasure may not onely seize their whole estates but take their lives too Even so it is at present with the people of England we have liberty to buy and sell and acquire wealth we are as an English villaine or Turkish slave sometimes that is when the Members please else not protected therein against one another But when the Members thinke fit every mans estate his fortune his person his life all is at their will and doome That Law permitted amongst the people reacheth not so high as the Members when they thinke fit their will is the Law so that our slavery for the present is worse
himselfe and family as if it were taken by way of Ship-money Loan or Benevolence Nor is any mans hunger satisfied his thirst quenched or his children clothed by being told that this is done by the representative body of the whole Kingdome But on the other side it is apparent that the people are hereby generally impoverished and the Members in pompe glory and wealth advanced far beyond their ranks and fortunes We had a Star-Chamber and a High Commission the Judges whereof sometimes imposed exorbitant punishments But we have now the Members stiled a Parliament who have not onely accumulated unto themselves the power of those Courts and of all other Courts of Justice in the Kingdome but have therein assumed an unlimited power when they think fit to censure whether it be for a crime or vertue disobedience or obedience of the Law The punishment if they please is either pecuniary corporall brands of infamy confiscations of their whole estate or death it self And in all this which by the Lawes of England is most horrid the Members are both Judge and Party the profits of those forfeitures redound unto themselves But the new mercenary Preachers and other incendiaries appointed for that purpose blaze those Westminster-men to be persons full of grace and mercy They would make the people beleeve they are such as drive onely at the publicke not looking upon their owne particulars And herein make speciall use of the putting down of the Court of Wards The truth whereof is but thus By the Lawes of England every one who holds Lands by Knights service whether of the King or of his fellow Subject and dyes his heire within age of 21 years the King or that Lord of whom it is held hath the profits of such Lands untill his full age and the government and marriage of his person Which being an interest due unto his Lord by reason of the tenure of his Land is as justly his as the rent of a Tenant for yeares belongs to his Land-lord Now this right both of King and Subject these Westminster-men take upon them to dispose and call it their own act of grace Much like unto their taking from their King and His Loyall Subjects their whole Estates and bounteously dividing it amongst themselves But admit they had had Authority which they have not the least colour to challenge to alter the Law in this case of tenures yet the people are not by this alteration any whit bettered It is true formerly the eldest son or the heire of some particular persons were during their minorities subject to wardships But under the Tyranny of these men and by the doctrine they preach the King and all the people are hereditary slaves Themselves all their Children their Childrens Children and posterities for ever in person estate and fortune whether owner or not owner of Land and however it is held even to the worlds end are at all times at their absolute command Suppose the King should quit His right of tenures and then by other impositions wrest from the people 40 times the value thereof these Members would judge that to be no act of bounty And if so in the Kings case much worse it is in them For they neither have power in the one nor in the other They cannot acquit any one of Wardship nor lawfully tax the people one penny And suitable to this we hea● of another bounty intended The people say they must be eased of free-quarter wherein the Country-men are dealt with as sometime it happeneth to an innocent man upon the racke who to gain a little respite from the present torment falsely accuseth himself of a crime for which he is put to death or like unto the carriage of a sturdy bold theif whereof these times afford examples enough who tels the owner of a horse that unlesse he may have the value of it he will steal the horse but having got the money takes the horse too So here the people are pestered with quartering of Souldiers and are so barbarously used by these inhumane wretches as that the poor men are prepared to part with their whole fortunes to be eased of that present Tyranny Hereupon a new and an illegall tax of about 20000. l. the weeke is laid upon them which done although it a mounts to twice treble the charge of quartering still the Souldiers must be bilited And their insolency hereby rather increased then abated These and such like are all the favours we can expect to have during the time of the raign of these Westminster-men To be short they have got possession of the wealth of the whole Nation and have usurped an Arbitrary power So that did they incline thereunto they cannot do unto the people any considerable favour or act of grace For so long as they abide to these their owne principles of which Arbitrary power they cannot settle in any man a permanent estate interest power or authority wherein the City of London may be a paterne to the whole Nation We see these Westminster-men sometimes judge it fit that the Citizens should enjoy all their liberties and priviledges Presently upon that even by the same hand they are not permitted so much freedome as from the Lord Major to the petty Constable to elect one officer But those Officers are placed and displaced at the pleasure of these Members To day is granted to them their owne Militia to morrow by the same Authority they are judged persons of so base a condition as not capable of so great a power And not long after that courted to accept of it againe They are now exalted to the heavens and instantly thereupon even by the same mouthes and as it were with the same breath impeached of Treason And this is every mans condition Suppose one by these Members to be condemned to death is by them afterwards pardoned The next houre even by ●●ese who pardoned he may be put to death An estate of Land an Office or other power or authority is by these men given for life or in fee be it as strong and ful as words can expresse it neither that nor any other act of these Tyrants binds one minute longer then they please And all this consonant to these their new principles for these men tell us their will is the Law we have no other Judge upon earth either in soul or body say they but themselves Farre otherwise it was with the people of this Nation under the King The King neither hath nor claimes power to tax the people or impose upon their estates but as the known Law permits When the King hath once made His grant either of Land Office Power or Authority He is concluded He cannot recall it or take to himself any thing in Lieu thereof Therefore shall the King quit His tenants of the foresaid tenures and put down the Court of Wards It may properly be said an Act of grace and bounty And so it is in all other things granted by Him
He is not Judge in His own case nor hath a power Arbitrary His Authority and interest is regulated by a known Law Thus appears the different condition of the people between that in the worst of times under the Kings Government and what they are now reduced unto under the men at Westminster So that if the people had onely exchanged that Government for this it had been miserable enough Therefore considering the blood which hath been spilt herein most irksome it must be to every honest soule to think thereof But still the peoples case is worse the former grievances under the King was no cause of their defection For before this War began they were reformed Ship-money and all grievances were taken away In a word the people had no other motive to draw their sword against their Soveraigne but thus They were by these incendiaries falsely told that the King meant not what he said nor intended to keep those Laws he had made But now every person thus seduced by his owne wofull experience finds that it was these persons at Westminster who meant contrary to what they pretended If he looke for the Protestant Religion freedome of conscience the Laws of the Realme Liberty of his person or property in his estate due unto 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 subject not one of them is to be found But instead thereof he finds himselfe poore man catched in the Members net His conscience His life His Liberty His estate and fortune is now at their arbitrary power These things considered he that thinkes either of this world or of the world to come upon his soule or body if he love himselfe or his Country if he fear God or honour the King must instantly make one in this worke to restore that King to his Throne Thus for the persons who ought to apply the medicine the next is to know how it shall be done And for that although considering the calamities this Nation hath suffered in being brought to bondage To redeeme it againe may seeme difficult yet upon consideration had thereupon it appears to be a thing easily effected That of the Members in excluding the King opposed the Law Therefore could not be done but by War and force But this of restoring the King pursues the Law and so proclaimes peace And as the Members could not have usurped this power but by War so they cannot hold it but by force Instantly upon the Law having its free passage their Kingdome is at an end And to every War is absolutely necessary the peoples personall assistance and money to pay the Soldiers If either of these faile the War is ended And obvious it is that the persons at Westminster can have neither of them but from those whom by the same persons have been thus brought to thraldome So that to perfect all this worke if every one would do his duty there would be no danger of bloodshed Then there needed no weapons not doing would do the worke Therefore whether thou bee'st in armes or not obey thy King according to the Law make thy payments to whom by Law they are due pay no Excise Loanes Benevolences Assessements Tax Tollage or other new impositions by them laid upon thee And if these Usurpers require these things as due by Law Tell them it is contrary to their owne doctrine Wish them to read the Petition of right whereby the Lords and Commons in Parliament declared That the people ought not to be Taxed with payments of money but by Act of Parliament that is by the King the Lords House and the Commons joyntly concurring Put them in minde of their Declarations this Parliament wherein they call it pernitious ●●…mpt to goe about to Tax the people by way of Excise That it is against the liberty of the Subject to be charged with payments of money otherwise then the knowne Law doth warrant that nothing is more horrid then to have Soldiers billited to force upon the people voluntary contributions or to have new Oathes put upon them Yet these and thousand more exactions laid upon thee against Magna Charta the Petition of right and the knowne Law thou maist charge them with And needs no other Judge to condemne them but themselves out of their owne mouthes And further for thy incouragement herein be assured that by this restauration of the King not onely the people of England obtaine their freedome but instantly thereupon ensueth peace and unity throughout all the Kings Dominions For by that the Kingdomes of England Scotland and Ireland are againe united The people will then with great joy and acclamation according to the foresaid just recognition of the Lords and Commons unto King James performe their duty unto this our King Charls And acknowledge Him according to the foresaid Oath of Supremacy their onely Supreame Governour Upon the whole matter so long as the people continue in this slavery they are not onely their owne wilfull tormentors but disobeyers of the Laws of God and man And by quitting themselves from bondage which is at every instant in their power to do they performe their duty to both FINIS ERRATA PAg. 8. lin 11. read or our p. 10. l. 20.
