design the alteration of our Religion And we do here require all those who have any sence of piety honor or compassion to help a distressed State especially such as have taken the Protestation and are bound in the same duty with us unto their God their King and Country to come in unto our aid and assistance this being the true cause for which we raise an Army under the command of the Earl of Essex with whom in this Quarrel we resolve to live and dye And in the Declaration and Resolution of both Houses in answer to the Kings Proclamation against the h Earl of Essex they have these words viz. And whereas the Lords and Commons in Parliament did formerly choose the Earl of Essex to be Captain General of such forces as are or shall be raised for the maintenance of the true Protestant Religion the Kings person the law of the Land the peace of the Kingdom the liberty and propriety of the Subject and rights and privileges of Parliament the said Lords and Commons do declare That they will maintain and assist him and adhere unto him the said Earl with their lives and estates in the same Cause as in conscience and duty to God the King and their Country they are bound to do And the i Petition of both Houses sent to the King by the Earl of Essex when he marched in the head of the Parliaments army saith That they have for the just and necessary defence of the Protestant Religion of his Majesties Person Crown and Dignity of the Laws and Liberties of the Kingdom and the Privilege and power of Parliament taken up arms The two Houses of Parliament having thus taken up arms and declared the cause thereof no successe made them in the least to vary from it but in the very heat of the war and whole prosecution thereof to the end they asserted and adhered to the same cause as appears in all their Remonstrances Declarations Orders and Ordinances during the war which being over-tedious to transcribe at large some material passages to that effect shall only be inserted viz. In the k Directions from both Houses given to the Earl of Essex General of the Army the cause is asserted to be in defence of Religion his Majesties Person the Liberties and Laws of the Kingdom and Privilege of Parliament And in the l Declaration and Protestation of the Lords and Commons in Parliament to this Kingdom and to the whole world Dat. Octob. 22. 1642. a day before the battel of Edghil ordered to be read in all Churches and Chapels wherein they expresse their resolution to enter into a solemn Oath and Covenant with God they conclude with these words viz. We doubt not but the God of truth and the great Protector of his people will assist and enable us in this our just defence to restrain the Malice and fury of those that seek our ruine and to secure the Persons estates and Liberties of all that joyn with us and to procure and establish the safety of Religion and fruition of our Laws and Liberties in this and all other his Majesties dominions which we do here again professe before the ever-living God to be the chief end of all our Councils and resolutions without any intention or desire to hurt or injure his Majestie either in his Person or just power And whereas in the m Kings Proclamation of the 24. of Octob. 1642. It is alledged that the war raised against him was to take away his life to destroy his posterity to change the Protestant Religion to suppresse the Law of the Kingdom and to take away the Liberty of the Subject and to subject both to an arbitrary power And in one of his Majesties Declarations there was this allegation That the Army raised by the Parliament was to depose the King Thereupon both Houses of Parliament in a Declaration after the bloody battel of Edghill in answer to this Charge and Declaration have these words n We hoped the contrivers of that Declaration or any that professed but the name of a Christian could not have so little charity as to raise such a scandal especially when they must needs know the Protestation taken by every Member of both Houses whereby they promise in the presence of almighty God to defend his Majesties Person the promiss and Protestation made by the Members of both Houses upon the nomination of the Earl of Essex to be General and to live and dy with him wherein is expressed that this Army was raised for the defence of the Kings Person And in the same Declaration they rejoyce that his Majestie and his Children escaped danger in that Battel In the o Remonstrance of the Lords and Commons of the 2d of Nov. 1642. there is this passage As God is witnesse of our thoughts so shall our actions witnesse to all the world that to the honour of our Religion and of those that are most zealous in it we shall suffer more from and for our Soveraign than we hope God will ever permit the malice of wicked Counsellors to put us to and though the happiness of this and all Kingdoms dependeth chiefly upon God yet we acknowledge that it doth so mainly depend upon his Majestie and the royal branches of that root that as we have heretofore so we shall hereafter esteem no hazard too great no reproach too vile but that we shall willingly go through the one and undergo the other that we and the whole Kingdom may enjoy that happiness which we cannot in an ordinary way of providence expect from any other fountain or streams than those from whence were the poyson of evil Councils once removed from about them we doubt not but we and the whole Kingdom should be satisfied abundantly The same Remonstrance also hath these words p We do not say the Royal assent is not requisite in the passing of Laws nor do or ever did we say That because his Majestie is bound to give his consent to good Laws presented to him by his people in Parliament that therefore they shall be Laws without his consent or at all obligatory saving only for the necessary preservation of the Kingdom whilst that necessity lasted and such consent cannot be obtained And again (q) We did and do say that the Soveraign power doth reside in the King and both Houses of Parliament It follows in the same Remonstrance r Having the honour of God and of his Majestie and the peace freedom and prosperity of this Kingdom chiefly before our eyes in our Propositions and in all our actions we rest assured that both God and man will abhor and abominate that monstrous and most injurious charge laid upon the Representative body of this whole Kingdom Of desiring the ruins not only of his Majesties person but of Monarchy it self and we appeal to all the world whether worse words than these can be given us And whether it be not high time for

M●or Mr. Millington Declare their dissents to the said Vote of Decemb. 5. There being now almost after three weeks time and such strange tran●actions as before only 43. Dissenters to the Vote of Decemb. 5. 1648. and that in obedience to the Armies Proposals of the 6th of December Upon Thursday the 11th of January 1648. the House was conceived sufficiently garbled and fitted for the Humble Answer of the general Council of Officers of the Army Jan. 3. to the demand of the House Dec. 14. touching the late securing or secluding the Members thereof which was this day read And though the same was notoriously false and highly scandalous to the secured and secluded Members as appears by their Vindication published the 20th of January which never received reply yet the House without so much as summo●ing or hearing of the said Members Resolved the said 11th of January That they approve of the substance of the said Answer of the General Council of Officers of the Army to the demand of the House touching the securing or secluding some Members thereof And appointed a Committee of the Dissenters to consider what was further to be done upon the said answer of the General Council and to present the same to the House And because it seems the said Committee was slack in meeting and making their return On Monday the 29th of January the House consisting of the said 43. Dissenters ordered That the said Committee be enjoyned to meet and bring in their Report on Monday next But to give them a sure rule to walk by and to prevent the sitting of any but Dissenters it was resolved at the same time That no Member of this House that gave his consent to the Vote of the fifth of December ●●●t do presume to sit in this House untill this House take further order though it was evident the Dissenters were yet but 43. and the number present at the Votes were 244. So that by this Vote made but by the 43. who had entred their dissents all others must be presumed to be yet Con●●nters to the Vote This last Vote brought in afterwards by degrees some more Dissenters For Thursday February 1. 1648.
