Browne Cler. Parl. July 1. LONDON Printed by T. F. for J. Y. 1642 Articles of Impeachment against the Nine Lords THe Lords and Commons Assembled in Parliament finding the distractions of the Kingdome to be great have thought sit to explaine and remonstrate to the world the grounds of their proceedings and the causes of these distractions in these ensuing particulars 1. The Roote of these mischievous designes 2. The maturity to which they had attained fore the beginning of this Parliament 3. The effectuall meanes which hath beene used for the extirpation of those desperate evils and the progression which therein has beene made by the wisdome of the Parliament 4. The wayes of opposition by which that progresse is interrupted 5. The courses to be taken for the removing of these obstacles and for the accomplishing of our faithfull endeavours of restoring the antient Honour greatnesse and security of this Crowne and Nation the roote of all this mischiefe we find to be a malignant designe of subverting the fundamentall Lawes upon which the Religion and Justice of this Kingdome are firmely established The Actors hereof have beene 1. The Papists which hate the Lawes as the obstacles of that subversion of Religion which they so much long for 2. Such Councellors and Courtiers as for private ends have ingaged themselves to further the interests of Forraigne Princes or States to the prejudice of his Majesty and the State at home The common Principles by which they governe their Actions are these 1. To maintaine continuall Differences betwixt the King and the People upon questions of Prerogative and Liberty that so they may gaine to themselves and their parties the greatest places of trust and power in the Kingdome 2. To suppresse the purity of Religion and such persons as were best affected to it 3. To disaffect the King to Parliaments by slanders and false imputations and by putting him upon other wayes of supply which in show were fuller of advantage then the ordinary course of Subsidies which indeed have been the greatest cause of these troubles and distractions under which we suffer Heere are the Authors and causes of these distempers made manifest now it is necessary to declare how farre these mischiefs have extended Former relations and precedent Declarations have made some apparent but yet so great is the power of ambition that the infliction and execution of the Law upon Strafford the durance and imprisonment of divers others of that faction can no way deterre them from using all meanes to perfect their designes and finding no way so apt for their purposes as to foment lealoufies betwixt the King and Parliament they have cast many odionse scandals upon the proceedings of Parliament nay so farre has their treachery extonded that they have seduced divers Members of the Parliament namely Spencer Earle of Northanmpton William Earle of Devonshire Henry Earle of Monmouth Charles Lord Howard of Charlton Robert Lord Rich Charles Lord Grey of Ruthen Thomas Lord Coventry and Arthur Lord Chapell who are Impeacht for these high crimes and heinous misdemeanors following 1. That contrary to their dutie they being Peeres of the Realme and summoned by writ to attend the Parliament and contrary to an Order of the House of Peeres of the ninth of Aprill last and severall other Orders requiring the attendance of the said House 2. That after a Vote passed in both Houses the 20. of May last that the King seduced by wicked Councell intends to make Warre against his Parliament c. It was Voted that the departure of these nine Lords without leave at such a time when the House had declared that the King intended to make Warre against his Parliament and their still continuing at Yorke notwithstanding their summons and command is a high affront and contempt of both Houses and that the said Lords did as much as in them lav that the businesse of Parliament might be deserted and are iustly suspected to promote a Warre against the Parliament For that they have by another Order of the 30 of May beene duly summoned by the House of Peeres to make their appearance before that House upon the 8. day of June last past they refused to appeare and returned a scornefull Answer by a Letter under their Hand directed to the Speaker of the Lords House and remaining there upon Record For which Crimes and misdemeanor they tending to the dissolution of the Parliament and disturbance of the Kingdome It is demanded by the Commons that the said Lords may be brought to their Answer and receive speedy andexemplary punishment according to their demerits Ordered by the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament that this both printed and published Hen.
