them concurre and by affronting and injuring some of the Members of both houses so awed the rest that the Army if it had really beene brought up to London could have done no more though a meere discourse concerning that was voted to be Treason When all these Tumults of which I speake the more knowingly because I was then by accident in the court of Requests when the Rabble came up and heard no Bishops no Bishops cryed with that animosity and violence that it rings still in my eares and saw Sir John Strangewayes threatned as their enemy and one I think they called him Master Killigrew laid hands on and so much feare in the faces of some other Members that I beleeve they hardly knew what they voted in a weeke after and the next day saw Westminster Abby assaulted by the same Rabble when these Tumults were not onely not punisht nor the Authors enquired after nor so much as the complaints of the particular Members considered but the Lords were twice refused to be joyn'd with in a Declaration against the like for the future And this Rabble commended and stiled their friends by the most eminent Members in that House When Justice Long was committed by the House of Commons for obeying a writ sent by direction of the Lords House and sending a watch to guard them and the Sheriffe forbid by the same House to proceed legally against a Riot in Southwarke When this countenance to Riots and discountenance of Law had made Tumults ordinary and familiar even at the Gates of White-hall and occasioned that accusation of the Lord Kimbolion and the five Members which hath been since five hundred times repeated as the principall ground of Jealousie though they were accused in so legall a manner as had beene formerly accepted by the House of Peeres in the Earle of Bristols Case and though the King offered them so much satisfaction for it that any private Christian that should refuse to receive it from his equall were in no case to receive the communion Who ever after that saw the great Leavies of armed men in London and the multitudes of people every day flocking to them from severall Countries and the low condition the King then was in removing from place to place without the convenience of ordinary Accommodation some of His servants leaving Him and others refusing to attend him could not beleeve that He could then give them such a Terror as no lesse then all the Castles and Forts of the Kingdome and the sole disposall of the whole Militia could give them security enough against Him who had not with or neare Him money enough to pay a man nor powder enough to kill a bird and could never have arrived at such a condition as to be able to raise an Army if the violence which hath beene since offered Him had not asisted Him Nor were the Lords then so affraid of the King or yet so afraid of the people as to demand so unreasonable security so that the House of Commons having twice in vaine attempted their consent were faine to aske it of His Majestie alone But when after the usuall Satellites came up to them with a Petition seconded and countenanc't by the House of Commons demanding those Lords names who refused to joyne This Eloquence prevailed or rather this Militia made the other passe and in a few dayes the King granting most but not all they askt the Lords who were unwilling to put the people to the trouble of comm●ng again joyned in Declaring and were as good as their words that if the King would not consent they would put the Militia in execution without Him Thus illegally was that Ordinance past both Houses which would have been most illegall however it had past Thus was the Kings highest Right His Negative voyce and in the highest point which alone enabled Him to defend the rest forced from him Thus was England put in Armes without his consent whose Commission onely could legally warrant the least Assembly in that kinde and a few Officers by his command in a peaceable manner attending him at Kingstone for his security was voted leavying of warre against himselfe and this was the first beginning of this necessary warre which now must make all things lawfull in order to that necessity Whilest the King presses still his Message of the 20. of January that he may but know what they would have and is not thought worthy of an Answer But to justifie their actions by their feares Armies are daily threatned from beyond-Sea though they have laine wind-bound ever since because all the world saw he had nothing in England he could fright them with but still the lower he was the higher they grew and the more they contemne him the more they feare him Nothing that he can doe will satisfie them Nothing that he can say shall satisfie the people for they shall not be suffered to see it Care is taken by order to the severall Burgesses That all the Townes of England must hear of his comming to the house of Cōmons and that in a manner in which he did no te●me But his sorrow that he hath by this brok any Priviledge his offers of satisfaction for it and his Resolution both to observe defend them all for the future If this be printed and offered to be publisht his Secretary must be questioned for sending it to the Sheriffs by his Majesties Command and the Sheriffs forbid to publish it according to the Kings own Warrant and sent for as Delinquents if they do Would he have my Lord of Newcastle command his Town he must not Would he not have Sir Iohn Hotham command it he must Dares he not come to London He must Would he be wayted on in the Countrey by his meniall servants he must not Will he not choose such Officers and Counsellors as they will name and displace such evill Counsellors as they cannot name Then the prevalency of the Malignant Party is cryed out upon his not encountring Colonell Burges and Captaine Venne in the head of their Mermidens is called deserting his Parliament The Rebellion of Ireland which he had disarmed himselfe to resist is laid to his charge and his offer to venture his Royall Person against the Rebels there is voted to be an encouragement to that Rebellion If he deny or delay any thing they aske though never so much in his power to grant or deny a new Vote passes upon the Advisers of being enemies to the State and having once found that Word to have great influence upon the people whatsoever he sayes or does he cannot but breake their Priviledges and whatsoever they say or doe they cannot breake his And indeed their observing no Rule at all in their Votes and the peoples readinesse to observe all their Votes as a Rule had so hared him and all his servants that I had rather be not onely Master Pym or Master Hampden but Master Cromwell or Master Pury then King of
