A Collection of SPECIALL PASSAGES AND Certaine Informations of all the most memorable Accidents and Remarkable Truths FROM London Westminster and divers other parts of this Kingdome from Munday Octob. 17. till Tuseday Novemb. 1. 1642. With a summary Collection of all the Declarations Orders Messages Remonstrances Petitions Letters and other passages that have been published by Order of both Houses of Parliament And what other Relations of Newes have been any other wayes published within that time from all other Parts Collected for the satisfaction of all those that desire to be truely informed London Printed for Francis Coles Novemb. 2. 1642. THere was a Declaration published by Order of both Houses of Parliament setting forth the present condition of this kingdom That his Majesty by advice and assistance of the evill and wicked counsell about him hath raised an Army which are maintained with the spoyls of the Kings subjects giving them leave to exact monies by force plunder spoyl all sorts of people That this evil counsel doth not only hinder his Majesty from exercising the Iustice of a King towards his people but even that honour which is observed betwixt enemies That Sir Io. Hinderson a Papist one of the Kings party laboured with one David Alexander a Scothman to kill Sir Iohn Hotham but hee refusing his Maiesty sent twice for him to Beverly and when he came had publike talke with him and gave him a summe of money which he received That the said Sir Iohn Hinderson also conspired with the said Alexander to fire the Lord Generals Magazine but by great providence was prevented That such of the Trained Bands as refuse to serve his Maiesty have their Armes taken from them and that the Cavaliers by their cruell oppressions have so exhausted those Parts where his Maiesty hath been that they now perswade him to march towards London that so they might make the like spoyle in all those fruitfull Countryes in the way and satisfie their long expected hopes out of the rich wealth of the City of London To prevent all which miseries and dangers the Parliament doe conceive it fitting that good provision be made by loane and contribution to maintaine the Lord Generalls Army and that that Army doe alwayes attend the removes of the Kings Army to prevent them in their spoyles of the Country That those Countrys through which the Kings Army doth passe doe associate themselves and draw all their Forces together for their own defence according to the direction of their Deputy-Lievtenants and other Officers And that they have Powder Munition and Ordnance in readinesse upon all occasions That all those who in the City of London or else where shall weare any of the Kings Colours shall be examined and disarmed As also in that Declaration the Houses make severall excellent Queries concerning the grounds of this warre the result whereof in short is That it is not feare of some Innovation or alteration in Religion or Church Government that hath occasioned this warre for that the Parliament have fully declared that they intend to take away nothing but the Government of Bishops which have been so evidently mischievous and dangerous to the Church and State Nor is it to uphold the authority Prerogative and honour of the King as is so vainely alleadged by them But the true cause and matter of the quarrell is That Priests and Iesuites may domineere and govern in the Kings councell as formerly That the Bishops may suppresse powerfull preaching and introduce the Popish Religion under colour of the Protestant profession That the Earle of Bristoll Lord Digby Master Iermyn and other Traytors may govern the affaires of State and be distributers of Preferments That Delinquents may escape the Iustice of Parliament and triumph in the spoyles of honest men That through our troubles the Rebels in Ireland may prevaile That We may cease to be a free Nation and become the obiect of cru●lty and oppression at home and of scorne and infamy abroad c. With this Declaration there were certaine Votes published resolved upon the Question by both Houses of Parliament viz. That such persons as shall not contribute to the charge of the Common-wealth in this time of imminent necessity shall bee disarmed and their persons secured That the Fines Rents and Profits of Arch-Bishops Bishops Deans and Chapters and such notorious Delinquents who have taken up Armes against the Parliament or have been active in the Commission of Array shall bee sequestred for the service of the Common-wealth That the Kings revenue rising out of Rents Fines in Courts of Iustice compositions for Wards and all other his Maiesties reve●ues shall be paid into the usuall places of receipt but not issued forth or paid out but by order of Parliament There was also a Declaration published by order of the House subscribed by Colonell Sandis at the Randevouz at Worcester Octob. 11. in vindication of himselfe from those calumnious a persions cast upon him by the letters of the Lord Faukland and Secretary Nicholas who write that he was dead and a little before his death should say That death did not so much trouble him as that he had endeavoured to defend so bad a cause which he was drawne unto as well by his own ambition as by perswasions of others and that hee wished that all the Actions of the Parliaments Forces might hereafter prove unsuccesfull desiring God and the King w●uld so g●ve him for his great sin of Rebellion To which words the Colonell doth seriously pro●●●t that the apprehension of death did never so nearly touch him but that if God sh●ll ●nce restore his strength which in good measure he hath already done he will with as ●●ch alacrity and courage endevour to maintaine the cause hee hath undertaken with his dearest blood as ever he did nor was hee drawn into it by ambition or other perswasions the● s●ch as w re backed by the best of Arguments namely Religion the houour and security of the King the priviledge of Parliament and liberty of the subiect And that in his grea●est danger of death his conscience did clear him from the guilt of Rebellion or tumultuous thoughts And that the chiefest motive which carried him on to this Action was loyalty to hi● Soveraign and love to hi● Religion and Country c. By Letters from Cornwall it was informed that Sir Ralph Hopton with his Accomplices in Pendennis Castle hath made great spoyle in pillaging and plundering the Countrey that Sir Bevill Grevill Sir Nicholas Slany Sir Rich. Vivian and Master Arundell all Array men are th● chiefe Confederates and amongst them have raised about 2000 men which pu●s ●he Country into great feare that th●y have possessed themselves of Lanceston and Salt Ash and are now bending their Forces against Barnestable in Devonshire but they have provided themselves well against them by the meanes of Master Perd a Member of the House of Commons and have moun●ed 16.
