A58241	Reasons for passing a general act for reducing the forfeitures, humbly offered by the persons concerned		1690 (1690)	Wing R498; ESTC R6008	5,838	4

reason_n for_o pass_v a_o general_n act_n for_o reduce_v the_o forfeiture_n humble_o offer_v by_o the_o person_n concern_v the_o person_n forfeit_v with_o the_o heir_n of_o such_o as_o be_v decease_a and_o be_v forfeit_v during_o the_o two_o last_o reign_n special_o since_o the_o first_o of_o january_n 1665._o do_v humble_o crave_v that_o a_o general_a act_n may_v be_v past_a rescind_v their_o forfeiture_n for_o the_o reason_n follow_v viz._n first_o because_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o his_o majesty_n declaration_n while_o prince_n of_o orange_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n that_o the_o oppression_n and_o violent_a persecution_n which_o these_o person_n suffer_v as_o well_o after_o as_o before_o their_o fofeiture_n be_v there_o set_v down_o among_o the_o principal_a motive_n that_o induce_v his_o majesty_n to_o undertake_v for_o the_o relief_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o that_o his_o say_a undertake_v be_v account_v by_o all_o good_a man_n no_o less_o just_a and_o generous_a than_o its_o success_n be_v happy_a and_o glorious_a 2_o because_o it_o be_v no_o less_o manifest_a that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o estate_n against_o king_n james_n such_o as_o the_o impose_v of_o oath_n contrary_a to_o law_n the_o oppression_n of_o a_o stand_a army_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n the_o impose_v of_o exorbitant_a fine_n the_o imprison_v person_n without_o express_v the_o reason_n the_o employ_v the_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n as_o judge_n with_o their_o summar_n execution_n and_o the_o like_a be_v but_o continuation_n of_o what_o be_v begin_v in_o the_o precede_a reign_n and_o that_o the_o claim_n of_o right_o add_v thereto_o many_o more_o particular_n chief_o ascribable_a to_o that_o reign_n such_o as_o the_o force_a man_n to_o depone_n in_o capital_a crime_n against_o themselves_o the_o abuse_n of_o torture_n the_o send_n of_o a_o army_n upon_o any_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o a_o hostile_a manner_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n the_o charge_v the_o liege_n with_o lawborrow_n at_o the_o king_n instance_n the_o impose_v of_o bond_n without_o authority_n of_o parliament_n the_o put_n of_o garrison_n in_o private_a man_n house_n the_o fine_v husband_n for_o their_o wife_n the_o imprison_v and_o prosecution_n of_o person_n for_o petition_v the_o king_n do_v plain_o hold_v forth_o that_o both_o the_o reign_n be_v arbitrary_a and_o oppressive_a so_o that_o to_o declare_v king_n james_n to_o have_v forfeit_v the_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n for_o the_o abovementioned_a cause_n and_o all_o other_o particular_n above_o set_v down_o to_o be_v contrary_a to_o law_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o restore_v the_o person_n who_o suffer_v thereby_o and_o the_o sad_a part_n of_o who_o suffering_n it_o be_v to_o be_v make_v mad_a by_o the_o say_a oppression_n and_o force_v to_o the_o extremity_n of_o rise_v in_o arm_n will_v be_v very_o inconsequent_a 3_o because_o the_o relief_n of_o those_o thus_o oppress_v and_o thereby_o force_v to_o rise_v in_o arm_n be_v real_o intend_v to_o think_v to_o effectuate_v the_o same_o by_o reduction_n upon_o specialty_n be_v neither_o advisable_v nor_o practicable_a as_o may_v easy_o appear_v by_o what_o follow_v 4_o because_o the_o person_n forfeit_v and_o now_o expect_v to_o be_v restore_v be_v above_o five_o hundred_o and_o all_o the_o specialty_n that_o can_v be_v find_v by_o the_o great_a stretch_n of_o the_o most_o subtle_a invention_n will_v not_o afford_v relief_n to_o fifty_o of_o the_o say_v five_o hundred_o so_o that_o above_o four_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o and_o these_o of_o the_o poor_a and_o most_o distress_a must_v still_o remain_v in_o misery_n beside_o that_o by_o the_o make_n and_o allow_v of_o the_o foresay_a stretch_v to_o find_v out_o informality_n the_o rule_n form_n and_o practic_n of_o the_o court_n of_o justiciary_a be_v like_a to_o be_v render_v uncertain_a and_o doubtful_a which_o be_v of_o far_o more_o dangerous_a consequence_n than_o any_o inconvenience_n that_o can_v be_v just_o apprehend_v from_o a_o general_n act._n 5_o because_o when_o the_o design_n be_v know_v and_o manifest_a viz._n to_o relieve_v and_o restore_v the_o foresaid_n person_n forfeit_v to_o go_v about_o to_o do_v the_o same_o under_o the_o colour_n of_o informality_n which_o can_v reach_v but_o a_o few_o and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o these_o few_o very_o lame_o and_o constrain_o be_v but_o to_o expose_v both_o the_o justice_n and_o prudence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n unless_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o righteousness_n of_o these_o reduction_n be_v by_o a_o general_a act_n fair_o own_v and_o declare_v 6_o because_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o first_o appearance_n of_o his_o majesty_n when_o prince_n of_o orange_n for_o our_o relief_n and_o deliverance_n be_v light_a and_o joy_n and_o as_o life_n from_o the_o dead_a to_o all_o these_o afflict_a person_n and_o that_o in_o effect_n they_o still_o be_v and_o will_v perpetual_o prove_v the_o person_n most_o true_a and_o faithful_a to_o his_o majesty_n whereas_o their_o former_a persecutor_n do_v then_o sink_v into_o grief_n and_o dispondency_n so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v think_v that_o any_o true_a friend_n to_o king_n william_n will_v now_o offer_v to_o oppose_v these_o poor_a man_n restitution_n but_o the_o great_a and_o common_a objection_n be_v to_o restore_v person_n who_o be_v forfeit_v for_o rise_v in_o arm_n upon_o necessary_a stand_a law_n and_o clear_a and_o evident_a probation_n be_v to_o lay_v down_o the_o worst_a of_o preparative_n to_o encourage_v rebellion_n for_o the_o future_a to_o which_o it_o be_v answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v earnest_o wish_v that_o the_o person_n that_o make_v this_o objection_n may_v be_v well_o consider_v whether_o they_o be_v bias_v by_o particular_a interest_n or_o true_o and_o at_o the_o bottom_n approver_n of_o the_o late_a proceed_n against_o king_n james_n 2_o it_o be_v know_v rule_n that_o in_o criminal_n as_o to_o either_o condemnation_n or_o absolution_n precedent_n and_o example_n be_v of_o no_o force_n 3_o that_o whatever_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n shall_v now_o do_v by_o their_o sovereign_a power_n upon_o consideration_n of_o particular_a circumstance_n as_o to_o thing_n can_v never_o in_o law_n or_o sense_n be_v make_v preparative_n to_o hinder_v the_o execution_n of_o stand_a law_n for_o hereafter_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o when_o ever_o these_o law_n shall_v be_v transgress_v or_o contraveen_v the_o allege_v of_o thing_n for_o a_o preparative_n find_v by_o king_n and_o parliament_n to_o be_v distinguish_v by_o their_o circumstance_n will_v be_v of_o no_o force_n 4_o as_o these_o miserable_a attempt_n at_o pentland_n and_o bothwell-bridge_n be_v contrary_a to_o stand_a law_n so_o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o all_o the_o lesser_a attempt_n make_v through_o out_o the_o kingdom_n after_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n his_o arrival_n into_o england_n against_o king_n james_n before_o the_o meeting_n of_o the_o estate_n do_v fall_n under_o the_o same_o construction_n and_o that_o all_o the_o difference_n as_o to_o this_o point_n that_o can_v be_v make_v betwixt_o they_o be_v that_o bless_a be_v god_n these_o have_v the_o far_o better_a success_n 5_o as_o in_o england_n they_o need_v not_o a_o general_a act_n so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o late_a forfeiture_n have_v be_v reverse_v and_o rescind_v upon_o such_o slender_a reason_n that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v need_n of_o a_o general_a act_n their_o parliament_n have_v never_o stand_v to_o have_v past_o it_o 6_o can_v any_o man_n allege_v that_o the_o rescind_n of_o forfeiture_n for_o these_o former_a insurrection_n can_v be_v a_o bad_a preparative_n to_o encourage_v insurrection_n for_o the_o future_a but_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o must_v think_v that_o the_o late_a great_a revolution_n may_v likeways_o be_v draw_v into_o a_o far_o more_o mischievous_a consequence_n a_o thought_n which_o certain_o all_o honest_a man_n must_v abhor_v and_o therefore_o see_v that_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o forfeit_v person_n be_v clear_o acknowledge_v by_o the_o claim_n of_o right_n their_o relief_n more_o than_o insinuate_v by_o his_o majesty_n declaration_n while_o prince_n of_o orange_n their_o redress_n express_o assure_v by_o the_o meeting_n of_o the_o estate_n their_o restitution_n plain_o assent_v to_o by_o his_o majesty_n print_a instruction_n the_o manner_n of_o their_o relief_n by_o specialty_n evident_o impracticable_a and_o delusive_a and_o that_o the_o forfeit_v person_n themselves_o can_v fail_v to_o be_v among_o the_o true_a friend_n to_o king_n william_n what_o reason_n can_v be_v adduce_v to_o hinder_v their_o restitution_n by_o a_o general_a act_n special_o see_v that_o the_o alone_a publish_n of_o this_o representation_n may_v and_o will_v undoubted_o cut_v off_o the_o ill_a consequence_n of_o a_o suppose_a preparative_n to_o the_o end_n of_o
