Knights of Shires 7 Citizens and the rest Burgesses whereof seldom 50. appear at once together the excluded and deceased Members being also considered it will appear that the House of Commons consisting by right of 508 Members whereof there are 78 Knights of Shires for England and 12. for Wales There are no Knights of the shires sitting in the House for these 26 English and 11 Welsh Counties following Bes●●es there are no Citizens sitting for 14 cities following viz.

So that the whole number now permitted to sit is about 89 and the whole number excluded or wanting 420 besides the Lords So tha● upon an indifferent calculation and survey there will scarce the 10th part of the Commons be found at this time to have Members representing them in Parliament and yet these take upon them to act enact and impose * Taxe● not only as a whole Commons House but

well-grounded peace in the three Kingdoms and to keep a good understanding between the two Kingdoms of England and Scotland according to the grounds expressed in the Solemn League and Covenant and Treaties which we desire may be inviolably observed on both parts And lest these Generals should not give a sufficient satisfaction they thought fit to the end men might be no longer abused in a misbelief in their intentions or a mis-understanding of their Actions to make further inlargement upon the particulars most worthy a diligent peru●al and consideration Amongst which they have this observable passage viz. And whereas a safe and good peace is the right end of a just war there is nothing we have more earnestly desired nor more constantly laboured after and to that purpose both Houses of Parliament have framed several Propositions to be sent to the King wherein We are so far from altering the fundamental Constitution and Government of this Kingdom by King Lords and Commons that we have only desired that with the consent of the King such Powers may be settled in the two Houses without which we can have no assurance but that the like or greater mischiefs than these which God hath hitherto delivered us from may break out again and ingage us in a second and more destructive war Whereby it plainly appears our intentions are not to change the antient frame of Government within this Kingdom but to obtain the end of the primitive institution of all Government the safety and weal of the people And then that Declaration concludes thus And for the Covenant we have been and ever shall be very carefull to ob●erve the same that as nothing hath been done so nothing shall be done by us repugnant to the true meaning and intention thereof nor will we depart from those grounds and principles upon which it was framed and founded This Decl. was then indeed of that moment to quiet the Jealousies and settle the Distempers of the Kingdom g that 4000 of them were ordered to be printed for the use of the Parliament And the Knights and Burgesses ordered to take care for the speedy sending down and publishing them in the respective Counties and places for which they ●erved And by special order of the House Sir Arthur Has●erig Sir John Eveling and two others were to take care that the printed Declarations were published set up and ●●xed in every Parish-Church by the Church-wardens or other Officers of the said Parish which they were by the said Order required and enjoyned to ●ee published set up and fixed in the said Parish-Church accordingly Way being thus made to the Narrative and Treaty we proceed The two Houses of Parliament having thus for the space of six years or thereabouts been ingaged in a war for the defence and maintenance of the Protestant Religion the Kings person honour and Estate and his Royal Posterity the power and Privileges of Parliament and the Laws and Liberties of the Kingdom as appears by all their said Declarations Orders Ordinances and publick writings in the prosecution wherof they did also declare * That there was a design carried on by the forces levied against the Parliament to alter our religion and the antient frame and constitution of the Government both in Church and State and the laws and liberties of the Kingdom and to introduce Popery and Idolatry together with an Arbitrary form of Government And having in the heat of the war sent Propositions several times and entred into divers Treaties with his late Majesty for a safe and well-grounded peace which had not the desired effect at the cloze of the war finding the distempers of the Kingdom continued though all adverse Armies and Garrisons were reduced and well remembring that in the begining of the war they had called God to witnesse that the safety of the Kingdom and peace of the people was their only aime They did in July 1648. resolve upon a personal Treaty with the King the general desires of the City of London and the rest of the people concurring therewith And in pursuance thereof the Commons assembled in Parliament that they might have a full House published the following Declaration Die Martis 5. Septembris 1648. A Declaration of the Commons assembled in Parliament Concerning the Summoning of the Members to attend the House on Tuesday the 26. of Septemb. 1648. WHereas both Houses of Parliament have agreed upon A Personal Treaty with his Majestie which is speedily to commence for the management whereof the * attendance of all the Members of Parliament wil be very necessary because in the Multitude of Counsellors there is safety and in the successe thereof the Alaying of the present distempers and future happinesse of this Kingdom is so highly concerned It is therefore ordered and declared by the Commons assembled in Parliament that the respective Sheriffs of each County within the Kingdom of England and Dominion of Wales do forthwith upon receipt hereof give particular notice to all the Members of the House of Commons residing and being within their respective Counties to attend the House on Tuesday the 26th Septemb under the penalty of twenty pounds fixed upon the defaultors that day being appointed for calling of the House The Members attended from all parts accordingly and there were appointed the Earls of Northumberland Pembrook Salisbury Middlesex and the Lord Say for the Lords House And Mr. William Pierpoint Sir Henry Vane Junior and eight more of the House of Commons Commissioners to carry on the Treaty with his Majestie at the Isle of Wight who took great pains therein and finished the Treaty by the end of November And on December the first the Commissioners of the House of Commons made their report of the Treaty in the House who presently entred into debate thereof and continued the debate Dec. 2d 3d. 4th 5th when after a long and serious debate in a full House notwithstanding the Menaces of the Army who had marched up to London and Westminster contrary to the Orders of the House removed their own guards and put new ones upon them and their insolent and Rebellious Declaration of the 20th of Novemb. 1648. they came to this resolution without any division of the House viz. Die Martis 5. Decembris 1648. REsolved upon the Question That the Answers of the King to the Propositions of both Houses are a ground for the House to proceed upon for the settlement of the peace of the Kingdom The just grounds and reasons of which vote do partly appear in all the forecited Declarations and proceedings of both Houses during the War the Oaths Protestation League and Covenant they took as Members the Writs by which they were elected and the Indentures by which we were returned impowered intrusted but more particularly in the Vindication of the imprisoned and secluded Members of the Commons House from the aspersisions ●ast upon them and the majority of the House in a printed Paper of the Gen-Council of

of the Members following is entred viz. Col. Boswell Lord Gray Mr. Peregri●● Pel●am Col. Jones Mr. Richard Darley Col. Temple Sir Thomas Malevery Sir John Bouchier Col. Peter Temple Mr. Humph.

Downes Mr. Cary Mr. Blaxtone Mr. Scot Sir John Danv●rs Mr. Henry Smith Mr. John Pry Mr. George Serle Mr. Dove In all 33. So that it appears there was not yet the number of a House which must be forty at the least that dissented to that Vote though above 200. were kept away by force concurring with it Decemb. 21. Col. Hutchinson Sir Hen. Mildmay Sir James Harrinton Declare their dissents to the Vote of Decemb. 5. Monday Dec. 25. 1648. Col. Harvey alderman Pennington Mr. Main Alderman Atkins Mr. Blagrave Col. 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.

Whereas on the 18th of December last this House did order and declare that liberty be given to the Members of this House to declare their dis-assents to the late Vote of the fifth of Decemb. 1648. That the Kings Answer to the Propositions of both Houses was a ground for the House to proceed upon for the settlement of the peace of this Kingdom And afterward viz. on the 20th of Decemb. did order That the Clerk should enter the names with the dissents of such Members as declared their dissents in manner then directed Whereupon divers Members that day present and others at several times since did cause their names and dissents to be entred accordingly And whereas it hath been further admitted in behalf of Members absent from the said Vote That any such Member might have liberty to express his dis-approving the said Vote of the 5th of Decemb. It is now resolved and declared by the Commons assembled in Parliament that such Members who being present at the House on the 5th of Decemb. did dissent from the said Vote and from the putting that Vote to the Question or being not then present do dis-approve of the same and have not already declared in and to the House such their dissent or dis-approval of the said Vote may declare their Respective dissent or dis-approve of the said Vote to the Committee herereafter nominated viz.
