A94551	The nations right in Magna Charta discussed with the thing called Parliament. Whereas I Theaurau John tendred a petition dated the 15 November 1650. To the Parliament so called; there is a name and a thing, and a thing, and a name, and a name, and not the thing, and the name and the thing both in one according to the obedience to the thing and name. I tendred my petition upon the declarative: it was but name to me, and not the thing, which caused this inquiry to be made, and to be declared that the people may see and discerne betwixt the name and the thing. / Written by me Theaurau Iohn Tannijjour Hipriest sabbah scribah jail Earl of Exex or otherwise Essex tenet of Norway or Normandi Lord Paulet of Sene in France.

chosen you 〈…〉 and abused and the Nations right not only vilifide destroyed 〈…〉 of the Nations choise was called forth then be came you another thing and no Parliament according to the antient right of Mag●● 〈◊〉 and the Petition of right that hath its essential right in and ●om Magna Charta there this is your proper state you were no Parliament that though you in heart were right members for the heart makes the right member of a true assembly This is an allusive allegory but to state it home you were in truth your servants servants and no Parliament according to the antient right of Magna Carta and the second petition of right in King James his time Now according to the right of our right there must be an account rendered for the invading all our Rights in that state O it had been a glorious work that then a new choise had been according to true election then was the time to have made us a free people as you call us but your calling us free we cannot say Amen but we may safely affirm we are worse bound And you now can not help us nor your selves Nor can never recover I know in what state this stands but I conseal Now to speak proper you were the souldiers thing called a Parliament Now to them you proved the name and not their intending thing For then they thought you should do right to them and they would do Right to you and you two held all our Rights by force from us If you or they or both had caused a new choise not that you had power by right to stand and chuse to you but the souldier standing defensive having let the right down from you into the people again in whom it is inhearent and you have put your selves in hazard of the New choosing again which thing you ought to have done And I need not let you know this for you know too much in doing no more Now it is just that they that wronged the Nation in their right should be wronged by them they wrongfully set up to have their right by not regarding the Nations wrong it suffers by them Now I speak as a Commoner of England nay I speake for the whole Native It is a dishonour to you that the souldier is not paid fully to a penny 't is his due yea much hardship have they suffered for nothing Now I beseech you consider that when a Parliament is it doth right maintaining the honour of the Nation in all its proper essences Now I hope I shall offend none that truly Are for they that Be will endure looking into for truth seeks no covert nor Corner but stands openly to be viewed of all and viewes all mind that state But falsehood and a ly is seeking coverts continually and alwaies building defensives and yet never strong but alwaies weake and fearful The Righteous is as bold as a Lyon walkes in and by one and the same rule Now if that rule which is here intendant be all your measures or the Major part then fear will not possesse you But if ye be wicked that is weaknesse and soon offended But 't is better to return though to the Manhood disgrace then to go on in stubbornesse in an evil way and resolve thus that though we have done thus and conscience witnesse against us we will cut off to establish our own way not Gods way Then know that guilt will never be secured but will cut off all but it self This is the true nature of rebellion against the Command of God That word true is not proper stated in that sence because trueth cannot be in a ly for nothing but trueth confounds the ly Now to returne to you whom is intended thus much if you say a Parliament I say the disgrace of the Nation Thus will you stand to your words your vowes your Oathes your Covenant your ingagement now I know some of the least Actors can with innocency and uprightnesse stand to it Now while it is thus the upright and innocent suffers for God hath a people among you who are of a trembling heart and now these suffer through the miscarriages of others are branded with the name of infamie But my Brethren God will clear you in the day of restitution and it is at hand Now if men dare not own their word Oathes Covenant Engagement nor stand by Magna Charta these men must be spirits and not men yet we see and feel these to be men but if they do disown that is stated judge ye are they fitted to be such men know so much as a man is just he is the representative of his makers majesty and no farther For your words let the Nation judge which truely is essential your Judges hold the same method in the first state as the Major chose the Minor I hope we that have stood for trueth may now speak trueth though we cannot injoy it your word and our adherents to you in the first was for the Gospel the Law the liberty of the subject we that are the Commons you having overcome by our vaste charge losse and trouble what hath been injoyed of this by us yet but thus we have paid your request I mean taxes you have deducted the fouldiers pay for his quarter in part and the Country hath had this by the souldier eaten up and no pay whose wide purse holds that summe that was worse then ten taxes together this I know I felt and from fence I speak only Now I blame not the souldier for this but you named Parliament One more to that when all the provision was spent there comes another reckoning the Excize-man he must have so much for beer and meat that was eaten by your nay our owne souldiers and never a penny for the substance but so much for the pleasuring the souldier with parting with that we have for nothing is this a demonstrative of a true Parliament I desire no offence may be taken of truth for what I have writ I will maintain and send the least Messenger or porter I will appear and answer by writing for I have an impeade in my speech and I desire noe more favour for truth is truth and will be though trod on I am not thus chastised to run into a corner if he whom I serve will not deliver me I am content so that deliverance come but to the poor peeled Nation though I be offered a sacrifice and burnt to ashes for them I shall rejoice he cannot be that I am but must be so in the reality of his sould before the eternal God know you I know what I speak though this state you cannot reach So much for the first freedome The next is to maintain the Law of the Land and pull down tyranny this we were sworn to Now what law is there preserved but all destroyed for Magna Charta is the being of all our beings if we have then beings in the true right of
