Parliam Octob. 23. London Printed for Iohn Wright 1643. A Declaration and Protestation of the Lords and Commons Assembled in PARLIAMENT VVE the Lords and Commons in this present Parliament assembled doe in the presence of Almighty God for the satisfaction of our Consciences and discharge of that great trust which lyes upon us make this protestation and Declaration to this Kingdome and Nation and to the whole world that no private passion or respect no evill intention to his Majesties person no designe to the prejudice of his just honour and authority engaged us to raise Forces and take up armes against the authors of this War wherewith the Kingdome is now inflamed And we have alwayes desired from our hearts and soules manifested in our actions and proceedings and in severall humble Petitions and Remonstrances to his Majesty professed our loyalty and obedience to his Crown readinesse resolution to defend his person and support his estate with our lives and fortunes to the uttermost of our power That we have beene willing to passe by not onely those Injuries Ignominies Slanders and false Accusations wherewith we have beene privately oppressed and grieved but likewise many publike incroachments and high usurpations to the prejudice of Religion and Liberty divers bloody Trayterous and cruell practises and designes for the utter ruine and distruction of the Church and State so as wee might for the time to come have beene secured from that wicked and Malignant party those pernicious and Trayterous counsells who have beene the authors and fomentors of the former mischiefes and present calamities which have and still doe distemper this Church and State That for the same purpose and for the avoyding of blood we directed the Earle of Essex Lord Generall by himselfe or others in some safe and honourable way to cause to be delivered an humble Petition wherein we doe desire nothing from his Majesty but that he would returne in peace to his Parliament and by their faithfull counsell and advice compose the distempers and confusions abounding in his Kingdoms as he is bound to do we therin professing in the sight of Almighty God which is the strongest obligation assurance that any christian and the most solemne publike faith which any such State as a Parliament can givetx hat we would receive him with all honour yeeld him all true obedience and subjection and faithfully endeavour to defend his person and estate from all danger and to the uttermost of our power to establish to him and to his people all the blessings of a glorious and happy Raigne as it is more largely exprest in that Petition For the delivery of which Petition his Excellency hath twice sent unto the King humbly desiring a safe conduct for those who should be imployed therein but his Majesty refused to give any such safe conduct or to receive this humble and dutifull Petition by any addresse from the Earle of Essex saying that if Justice had beene done the Gentleman which brought the second Message could not expect his liberty By all which and many other evidences and Inducements we are fully convinc't in our judgements and beleefe that the Kings counsells and resolutions are so engaged to the Popish party for the suppression and extirpation of the true Religion that all hopes of peace and protection are excluded and that it is fully intended to give satisfaction to the Papists by alteration of Religion and to the Cavaliers and other Souldiers by exposing the wealth of the good subjects especially of this City of London to be sackt plundered and spoyled by them That for the better effecting herof great numbers of Papists have in show conformed themselves to the Protestant Religion by comming to the Church receiving the Sacrament and taking the oathes of Alegiance and Supremacy which some of their owne Priests have encouraged them to doe by maintaining that they might doe all those things and yet continue good Catholikes Under which cover his Majesty did at first begin to strengthen himselfe those of that Religion being weake and unable to indure the envy and discontent which the arming of the Papists would procure in the Kingdome and therefore endeavoured to keepe off all Jealousies and suspitions by many fearefull oathes and imprecations concerning his purpose of maintaining the Protestant Religion and the Lawes of the Kingdome causing some profest Papists to be discharged out of his Army and none to be received that would not indure the Test of comming to Church receiving the Sacrament and taking the oathes of Allegiance That his Majesty being now growne stronger and able as he conceives to make good his owne ends by Armes his confidence in the Papists doth more clearely appeare Persons imprisoned for Priests and Iesuits have bin released out of the Goale of Lancaster porfest Papists have bin in vited to rise and take up Armes Commissions under his Majesties Authority have bin granted to many of them for places of command in this war with power to raise men and great numbers have bin raised by them and they daily encrease as namely to Sir Nicolas Thornton Sir Tho. Howard Bar. Sir Edward Widdington Sir William Riddell Master Smith of Ash Master George Wray Master Edward Gray of Morpeth Castle Master Lancelot Errington of Dento Master Lancelot Holtby all of Northumberland Bishopricke of Durham and New-Castle to Master Clifton Master William Walton Sir William Gerrard Baronet Sir Cicill Trafford Master Anderson of Lostock in the County of Lancaster and diverse Forces are raised and paid by the Earle of Worcester and his Son the Lord Herbert as we are informed by an expresse messenger sent from those parts the said Lord Herbert a notorious Papist
