Ho yes ho yes ho yes my Lord President and this High Court doth strictly charge and command all persons to keep silence during the sitting of this Court and the Captaines of the Guards is to apprehend all such persons as shall make any disturbance Then the Serjeant was sent with the Mace for the King who being brought to the Bar Proclamation was made Ho yes every man keep silence upon pain of imprisonment This Court doth command the Captaine of the Guards to take into custody all such persons as shall occasion or make disturbance during the sitting of this Court Then the Councell spake to this effect that he did at the last Court in this place in the name of the Commons of England exhibit a Charge of High Treason and other high crimes and misdemeanors against Charles Stuart King of England now p●●sent at the Barre that the Charge was then read unto him but he would not give any answer to it but disputed the power of the Court That he did now in the name of the Commons of England humbly move that hee may put in his answer to the said Charge and that if he refuse to give answer to it the High Court will be pleased to proceed against him pro confesso And that he may be proceeded against according to Justice Then the Lord President made a speech to the King Declaring That he had the last Court day heard his Charge against him That hee then did refuse to put in his Answer But disputed the Authority of the Court he made severall objections and was as often answered That the Court have considered of all that was then said and what Answers were made and as for their Authority they are very well satisfied concerning the lawfulnesse thereof and desire that he may be satisfied too and therefore gave you time untill this Day and do now expect your positive Ansvver and therefore desired the King in the name of the Court that hee would give in his Answer and either confesse or deny it and that if he did deny it they would proceed to prove it by a fair Tryall And the Lord President declared to the King that now at this time the Court did expect his answer to the charge The King as he had done on Saturday before so now appealed to the powers above and disputed the power of the High court and that in relation to his God and his people concerning which he was entred into a set speech by those branches to make further question of their Authority Then the Lord President declared that he must disturb the King in that he did perceive him who was then a Delinquent at the Barre to undertake to give reasons against the power of the Court he being then their prisoner and declared that no Court whatsoever would suffer a Delinquent brought before them to dispute against their power The King denyed that hee was a Delinquent and would have gone on in Arguments disputing their power And said that he would bee satisfied of their Authority by Rule and Reason Then the Lord President told the King that hee must again interrupt his speech And declared that as it is true it is fit indeed that he should have rule and reason so it hath been declared unto him already severall times and that his contempts to the Court must be recorded and such disputes by him a prisoner at the bar not to be permitted Then the King replyed again pressing to have his arguments heard And that it was but reason but if they refuse he would demur The Lord President then declared to the King that neither he nor any other would be permitted there to dispute the authority of the Court But that he had now answered something that he could take notice of and would answer his demur Saying the Court doth affirme a jurisdiction and returne their Answer Then the King offered to speake before the Lord President had done but he told him that hee might not interrupt him for hee spake in the name of the whole Court and then proceeded till he had fully declared it Then by order from the Court the Clerke read a paper to the King to this purpose Charles Stuart King of England you are here before this Court in the names of the Commons of England accused of high Treason and other high crimes and misdemeaners will you answer to your charge if not it was declared that those that brought him thither must take him away again But the King still persisted to dispute the power of the Court. And therefore the Lord President told him that if that was all he would say to insist only on that that the Serjeant must take him away The King againe urged to bee admitted to give in his reasons to dispute the Authority of the Court But the Lord President told him that he may not offer any reasons against the jurisdiction of the Court and told the King that he must obey the comands of the Court or else withdraw and the Court will proceed and perhaps when you are brought hither againe the Court will proceed to censure Then the King spake as to matter of vindicating of himselfe as if he was alwayes a friend to his people and was no Delinquent nor did never take up armes but for the good and freedome of his people The Lord president answered the King That what a friend he hath been to the people of Englands freedom the world may judge And the Lord president told him that the commands of the Court must bee obeyed And the King was sent away After which Proclamation was made to adjourne untill the morrow London Printed by Robert Ibbitson in Smithfield near the Queens head Tavern 1648.
