Mr. Edward Salloway That this Committee sit Tuesdayes and Fridayes by three of the clock afternoon in the Banqueting house Court of Requests or painted Chamber the doors being open and the Room well fitted for all Comers and that Mr. Harrington having proposed by appointment of the Parliament such others may propose as shall have the leave of the Parliament This by friends to the Commonwealth is proposed with Mr. Harrington's consent The Reasons for this Proposition are these It is the fairest way of Proposing a Government that it be first proposed to conviction before it be imposed by power The Persons herein nominated being convinced it must necessarily have an healing influence upon all the Parties degrees or qualities in this devided Nation THE ANSWER It is the desire of our three divided Nations THat there be no Committee appointed by those Commoners now sitting to receive Mr. Harringtons Propositions for setling our old Kingly Government in his new way of a Commonwealth till the House of Peers and the secluded Members of the Commons House who sate in Parliament till December 6. 1648. be permitted freely to fit debate and vote in Parliament according to the Statute of 17 Caroli c. 7. by which the present Conventicle pretends to sit That this being done a Committee of both Houses may be appointed to receive Mr. Harringtons propositions And that the persons named in Mr. Harringtons list who are no M●mbers with such other wise men as Mr. Harrington and the friends to his propounded Commonwealth shall nominate may have libertie to propose to the said Committee what Mr. Harrington and they shall think fit in relation to the forming and erecting of the same That to the end the said Mr. Harrington and his friends may in their proposals be kept within the bounds of sobrietie and moderation according to the antient Law of Charondas the Law-giver of the Athenians the first erectors of Commonwealths Mr. Harrington and his friends may all come to the said Committee with Ropes about their necks and in case they shall not convince the said Committee and Parliament that their new Commonwealth is better safer and more profitable for the English Nation than their old legal hereditarie Kingly Governusent that then they shall forthwith by sentence of Parliament be carried to Tyburne and undergoe the penaltie of Charondas Law to be hanged up by the neck as Traitors and seditious Persons till they be dead But if their proposals take effect That then Mr. Harrington for his rare invention and extraordinarie good service in minting a New Commonwealth shall have the monopoly of coyning all new Harringtons alias brass farthings which shall henceforth pass for the onely coin of his new copper Commonwealth Gold and silver which are Royal mines metals annexed to the Imperial Crown of the Realm being as inconsistent with his New Commonwealth which hath swallowed them all up as Kingship and therefore to be banished with it The Committee is desired to sit every afternoon in the weeke by two of the clock at the Sessions house in the Old Baily or rather in the old Kings Bench Court in Westminster Hall being places open to all Commers and sitted for that end without further charge to the poor Commonwealth That so Mr. Harrington and his friends may not be delayed from receiving a deserved execution or glorious reward This by the Generality of our 3 Nations friends to our Antient Monarchy is proposed and they hope to have Mr. Harringtons post-consent thereto The Reasons for this Answer to the Proposition are these 1. It is the fairest way of altering our antient Kingly Government and Parliament that they be first legally impeached and condemned to conviction before they be injuriously suppressed by armed power Therefore M. Harrington must first answer M Wren M. Pryns reasons in his new published True and perfect Narrative for the restitution of our old hereditarie Kings Kingship as the best of Governments before he propound his New Vtopian Republike to thrust them out of their long-enjoyed possession 2. That Mr. Harrington and his friends being convinced of the illegality of the said Commonwealth and the dangerous consequence of proposing such a seditious novelties against our old Kingship and Kingdomes and duely executed according to Charondas law it must needes have a healing influence upon all the parties degrees or qualities in these divided nations since the exemplary execution of such leading Innovators wil so terrifie all others that they will not dare mutter one word for the future against our antient fundamental government by King Lords and Commons which they are all obliged to maintain by sacred Oaths and Covenants 3. All the three Nations will Judge Mr. Harrington and his Republican friends are in good earnest for the Government of Oceana and as Valiant as Sir John Harringtons Ajax when they shall so fairely adventure a voyage to Tyburne to introduce it Funis coronat opus Resolved upon the Question on Mr. Harringtons friends Petition that Dr. Chamberlain shall attend him during all the time of his travel with his Gigantick Commonwealth lest it should miscarry and be strangled in its birth That if the orifice of his Brain or Womb be so narrow that the Doctors hands cannot usher it into the world without suffocation that then Caesar-like the General Councel of Officers of the Army shall violently cut it out of his Womb with their swords rather then it should be still born though with the Parents death That if it be live-born it shall not be christened till it be able to render an Account of its Faith to Cardinal Mazarin Dr. Owen Mr. Nye and John Canne That new dipped Col. Bennet Col. Hewson Major Packer and Lieut. Col. Allen shall be Godfathers the Whore of Rome Mrs. Rolls Mrs. Haggat and Mal Cutpu●se Godmothers to it That it shall be then called by the Fathers name Harringtons not Englands Commonwealth and bear his Arms instead of the superstitious red English Crosse upon its Forhead That in the mean time it shall be strongly guarded night and day by the Keepers of the Liberties of England and Col. Fleetwoods Regiment lest Dr. Chamberlains Denn of Thieves or the Queen of Fayries should fteal it away out of its cradle and put a mishapen Changeling without wit or reason into its place to the Parents dishonour and great disappointment of the hopes and prayers of all the Publicans and Sinners falsly stiled the godly people and Saints of the 3. Nations who rather desire to enjoy a share in the Commonwealth and Crown lands of England Scotland and Ireland than in the Kingdom and Crown of Glory in Heaven Bonum quo communius eo melius being a sure principle and the chief corner-stone on which they intend to build their New Commonwealth having little private wealth of their own except Brass Harringtons to inherit FINIS
