parle with him The Army hath no manner of security by this Ordinance For their indemnification referres to that which is not in being untill the King be at liberty VII It is more then probable that their Judges before the last circuite had instructions to the effect or this Ordinance The Common Souldiers sccond Apology 6. Grievances of the Army published 15. May last Three grievances of Col. Riche's Regiment but they the Judges making conscience of their Oath laid aside the said Instructions and ought and may and it is beleeved will no more regard this Ordinance then the said instructions What was done in the last circuite the Army well knowes touching many of their fellow-souldiers VIII The Houses in their first Proposition to his Majesty for a safe and well-grounded peace sent to Neweastle to desire a pardon from his Majesty for themselves they who desire a pardon cannot grant a pardon common reason dictates this to every man and therefore that the Army should accept an Indemnity from them who seeke it for themselves or should conceive it of any manner of force is a fancy so that no man in the whole Army but may apprehend that it is vaine and a meere delusion IX His Majesty by his gracious Message of the 12. of May fast the 22 of the same hath offered an Act of Oblivion and a generall pardon to all his people this done the Law doth indemnifie the Army without all manner of scruple for any thing that hath beene done for it is an Act of Parliament when the King and two Houses concurre and bindes all men There is no safety by the Ordinance There is safety by an act of Parliament And will not reasonable men preferre that which is safe before that which is unsafe X. His Majesty by his said Letter agrees to pay the Arreares of the Army I am sure that it is a publique Debt and the chiefest and the first that by the two Houses should be paid and before any Divident or Gratuities bestowed among themselves for their Bloud Limbes and Lives have put and kept the both Houses at rest in the power they have So by this concurrence of his Majesty for your indemnity and for your Arreares The Army have not an Ordinance or the Publique Faith but the Law of the Land to make sure unto them their Indemnity for all Acts and for their Arreares and therewith also bring peace to the Land XI The Kingdome and people generally desire these things To such an Army just and reasonable things must not be denyed the things formerly proposed are most just and reasonable you may have them if you will if you will not you render this Kingdome miserable Mr Pyms Speech against the Earle of Strafford p. 16 Sixt consideration Printed by the command of the House of Commons wherein you will have your shares of miseries The head and the body are such an incorporation as cannot be dissolved without the destruction of both The Additional Ordinance of both houses passed the fifth of June instant for the fuller indemnity of the Army makes nothing at all to the matter 1. For that it extends not to Felony Homicide Burglary Robbery or any other capitall crime which is the maine businesse insisted upon and most concerneth the Souldiers security II. The both Houses in the said Additionall Ordinance say that it is expedient that all offences be pardoned and put in oblivion Pardon and Oblivion cannot bee understood to bee for a time but for ever and they themselves confesse that an Ordinance is not binding but pro tempore which with the most advantagious Interpretation can be but a reprieve or delay of the execution of the Law and therefore that cannot pardon or put in oblivion by their owne shewing But the Law of the Land is 27. H. 8. c. 24. and so it hath constantly been practised in all times that no persons of what estate soever have any power to pardon Treason Felony or any other offences but the King onely who hath the sole and whole power to pardon all such crimes whatsoever And in the same manner an Ordinance is of no Authority at all to take away the right of private mens actions by any evidence it can give In truth all the evidence that this Ordinance will give is that it records to posterity nothing but a lawlesse and distempered time For remedy therefore I say againe it is a certaine truth This Kingdome without an act of Oblivion and a generall Pardon and the payment of Souldiers arreares and a meet regard had to tender Consciences will unavoidably be ruined June 10. 1647. David Jenkins Prisoner in the Tower of London Sundry Acts of Parliament mentioned and cited in the Armies Indemnities set forth in words at large for the better satisfaction of such as desire to be rightly informed 25. Edw. 3. Chap. 2. A Declaration what offences shall be adjudged Treason VVHereas divers opinions have been before this time in what case Treason shall be said in what not The K. at the request of the Lords and of the Commons hath made a Declaration in the manner as hereafter followeth That is to say When a man doth compasse or imagine the death of our Lord the King or of our Lady the Queen or of their eldest Son and Heire or if a man do violate the Kings companion or the Kings eldest daughter unmarried or the wife of the Kings eldest sonne and heire or if a man do levie war against the Lord our King in his Realme or bee adherent to the Kings enemies in his Realm giving to them aid and comfort in the Realme or else-where and thereof be probably attainted of open deed by people of their condition And if a man counterfeit the Kings great or privie Scale or his Money and if a man bring false money into this Realm counterfeit to the money of England and the money called Lusburgh or other like to the said money of England c. 11. Hen. 7. Cap. 1. None that shall attend upon the King and doe him true service shall bee attainted or forfeit any thing THe King our Soveraign Lord calling to his remembrance the duty of allegiance of his Subjects of this his Realm and that they by reason of the same are bound to serve their Prince and Soveraign Lord for the time being in his wars for the defence of Him and the Land against every rebellion power and might raised reared against him and with him to enter and abide in service in battell if case so require and that for the same service what fortune ever fall by chance in the same battell against the minde and will of the Prince as in this Land sometime passed hath been seen that it is not reasonable but against all lawes reason and good conscience that the said Subjects going with their Soveraigne Lord in wars attending upon him in his person or being in other places by his commandement within this
