We can give no account We complained in Our Declaration and as often as We have occasion to mention Our return and residence near London We shall complain of the barbarous and seditious Tumults at Westminster and Whitehall which indeed were so full of scandall to Our Government and danger to Our Person that We shall never think of Our return thither till We have Justice for what is past and security for the time to come And if there were so great a necessity or desire of Our return as is pretended in all this time upon so often pressing Our Desires and upon causes so notorious We should at least have procured some Order for the future But that Declaration tells Vs We are upon the matter mistaken The resort of the Citizens to Westminster was as lawfull as the resort of great numbers every day in the Terme to the ordinary Courts of Justice They knew no Tumults Strange Was the disorderly appearance of so many thousand people with Staves and Swords crying thorow the streets Westminster Hall the passage between both Houses in so much as the Members could hardly passe to and fro No Bishops Down with the Bishops no Tumults What Member is there of either Houses that saw not those numbers and heard not those cries And yet lawfull Assemblies Were not severall Members of either House assaulted threatned and ill intreated And yet no Tumults Why made the House of Peers a Declaration and sent it down to the House of Commons for the suppressing of Tumults if there were no Tumults And if there were any why was not such a Declaration consented to and published When the attempts were so visible and the threats so loud to pull down the Abbey at Westminster had not We cause to apprehend That such people might continue their work to Whitehall Yet no Tumults What a strange time are We in That a few Impudent Malicious to give them no worse term men should cast such a strange mist of errour before the eyes of both Houses of Parliament as that they either cannot or will not see how manifestly they injure themselves by maintaining these visible untruths We say no more By the help of God and the Law We will have Justice for those Tumults From excepting how weightily let every man judge to what We have said that Declaration proceeds to censure Vs for what we have not said for the prudent Omissions in Our Answer We forbore to say any thing of the words spoken at Kensington or the Articles against Our dearest Consort and of the Accusation of the six Members Of the last We had spoken often and We thought enough of the other two having never accused any though God knows what truth there might be in either We had no reason to give any particular Answer We do not reckon Our Self bereaved of any part of Our Prerogative which We are pleased freely for a time to part with by Bill yet We must say We expressed a great trust in Our two Houses of Parliament when We devested Our Self of the Power of dissolving this Parliament which was a just necessary and Proper Prerogative But We are glad to heare their Resolution That it shall not encourage them to do any thing which otherwise had not been fit to have been done If it do it will be such a breach of Trust God will require an Account for at their hands For the Militia We have said so much in it heretofore and the point is so well understood by all men that We will waste time no more in that dispute We never said There was no such thing as an Ordinance though We know that they have been long dis-used but that there was never any Ordinance or can be without the Kings consent and that is true and the unnecessary President cited in the Declaration doth not offer to prove the contrary But enough of that God and the Law must determine that businesse Neither hath this Declaration given Vs any satisfaction concerning the Votes of the fifteenth and sixteenth of March last which We must declare and appeal to all the world in the point to be the greatest violation of Our Priviledge the Law of the Land the Libertie of the Subject and the Right of Parliament that can be imagined One of those Votes is and there needs no other to destroy the King and People That when the Lords and Commons 't is well the Commons are admitted to their part in Judicature shall declare what the Law of the Land is the same must be assented to and obeyed that is the sense in few words Where is every mans Propertie every mans Libertie If a major part of both Houses declare that the Law is that the younger Brother shall inherit what 's become of all the Families and Estates in the Kingdome If they declare That by the Fundamentall Law of the Land such a rash Action such an unadvised Word ought to be punished by perpetuall Imprisonment is not the Libertie of the Subject Durante beneplacito remedilesse That Declaration confesseth They pretend not to a Power of making new Laws That without Vs they cannot do that They need no such Power if their Declaration can suspend this Statute from being obeyed or executed and make this Order which is no Statute to be obeyed and executed If they have Power to declare the Lord Digbyes waiting on Vs to Hampton Court and thence visiting some Officers at Kingston with a Coach and six Horses to be levying of Warre and High Treason And Sir John Hothams defying Vs to Our face keeping our Town Fort and Goods against Vs by force of Arms to be an Act of Affection and Loyaltie What needs a Power of making new Laws Or is there such a thing as Law left We desire Our good Subjects to mark the Reason and Consequence of these Votes the progresse they have already made and how infinite that progresse may be First they Vote the Kingdome is in imminent danger it is above three moneths since they discerned it from Enemies abroad and a Popish and Discontented Partie at home That is matter of Fact the Law follows This Vote hath given them Authoritie by Law the fundamentall Laws of the Kingdome to order and dispose of the Militia of the Kingdome and with this power and to prevent that danger to enter into Our Towns seize upon Our Magazine and by force keep both from Vs Is not this Our case First they Vote We have an intention to levie warre against our Parliament that 's matter of Fact Then they declare Such as shall assist Vs to be guilty of High Treason that is the Law and proved by two Statutes themselves know to be repealed No matter for that They declare it Vpon this ground they exercise the Militia and so actually do that upon Vs which they have voted We intend to do upon them Who doth not see the confusion that must follow upon such a power of declaring If they should now
