That the Money should be paid as the Act was passed 2. That by reason of the Privilege of the Members of both Houses and by reason of the Protections granted especially by the Lords a vast Sum of Money is detained from them so that Trade cannot be driven nor are they so enabled to lend Money as they desire for the service of the Common-wealth 3. They said they were sensible of the miseries of the Protestants in Ireland and of the Power of the Papists there and therefore did press with much earnestness That the Persons of the Popish Lords and other Persons of Quality here in England

the said Counties respectively or otherwise sufficiently Armed and furnished as you in your discretion shall appoint and require And he did not send to pay money but to relieve them by turns and if they found it for their Ease they might do their duty which by Common Allegiance is due or be at the Charge to have it done for them And then he insisted upon another Clause which is according to the Statute of 11 H. 7. in these words And further Our pleasure is and we do give and grant for us our Heirs and Successors That whatsoever you or any other person or persons of what degree soever by your Commission Warrant or Command shall do by Virtue of this Our Commission or Letters Patents or according to the Instructions aforesaid or the purport of this Our Commission touching the Execution of the Premisses both you and the said persons in shewing forth these our Letters Patents or the Constat or Inrollment thereof shall be discharged and acquitted against Us Our Heirs and Successors and freed from all Impeachment and other molestation for the same And therefore if he erred he hopes he is to be Excused for this purpose citing part of the Statute of 11 H. 7. THe King our Soveraign Lord Part of the Statute of 11 H. 7. recalling to his Remembrance the Duty and Allegiance of His Subjects and that they by reason of the same are bound to serve the King for the time to come in His Wars against every Rebellion and Power and Might c. and whatsoever falls against the mind of the Prince and that it is against all Law Reason and Conscience that attending His Person or being in other places of His Command any should lose or forfeit for doing their true Service and Obedience Be it therefore Enacted c. That from henceforth no manner of Person or Persons whatsoever that attends the King in His Person and do Him true Allegiance in His Person or be in other places in His Wars for the said Deed or true Duty he and they shall be any way convicted and Attainted of Treason nor of any other Offence by any Process of Law whereby he shall forfeit Lands Goods Tenements c. and shall be for that Deed and Service utterly discharged of any Vexation c. So that as he conceives having done nothing but for the good of his Majestie 's Service the preservation of the Countrey whatever he may have offended he hopes by the Act of Parliament and his Commission he may appear to their Lordships Justice and Compassion to a man that may Err acquitted of the Charge of High Treason For the words That Refusers were guilty of little less then High-Treason that taking it as he said for a denial of Common Allegiance it is no small Crime but it is only a single Testimony for which he takes himself not to be accomptable Mr. Maynard replyed Managers Reply That he had in stating his Case encreased not diminished his Fault for that the consent of some Gentlemen and Free-holders could not bind the rest and it is no legal way to raise money by Warrant much less by Force That he had no consent of the Lords for what he did as he pretended His Commission speaks not of money and the Statute is not to his Case it being for service on their Allegiance due to the King and levying Money Illegally is no part of that service That he did not first require men to serve but first pay and if not menaces them with Service as appears by the Warrants And to the single testimony of Sir William Ingram concerning Treason for non-payment they produced Mr. Cholmley who deposed That his Lordship said Mr. Henry Cholmley We are all tyed to serve the King in our own Persons and they that refuse are in little better case then Treason and punishable in the Star-Chamber And as he sayes the Warrants were not his it is evident they were by his Command Mr. Whitlock observed That what my Lord pleads in his Justification are sufficient grounds for his Condemnation for affirming necessity absolves the King from Rules of Government and that subjects may be taxed without assent of Parliament are expressly against the Fundamental Laws and a Course to introduce Arbitrary Government My Lord desired to speak to Mr. Cholmley 's Evidence which was new matter which he said differed from Sir William Ingram 's One sayes if money were not paid it was little better c the other he that denies his Allegiance is in little better case than Treason and punishable and for the assuming by his Commission to raise Taxes God forbid he should say or think such a thing but only to call men to perform their Duty for preservation of the King and Countrey He offered then something as to Sir William Penyman 's Warrant which he said was issued by him and the Deputy-Lieutenants Mr. Maynard replyed This was no colour of answer because a Man must serve in person therefore money must be required else he must be brought by head and shoulders to serve in person and offered a Warrant of Sir Edward Osborn 's made upon peril of Life and that all that can be imprisonment levying money charging upon peril of life levying of Goods hath been put upon the Subject Mr. Glyn added That the direction was his the execution others that Gogan 5. R. 2. was accused of Treason for forcing a man to enter into Bond which is not so much as forcing payments on the King's Subjects Then Sir Edward Osborn 's Warrant was read attested by Mr. Cholmley to be the Original in these words VVHereas His Majesty is informed Sir Edward Osborn's Warrant for Levying money that the Regiment under Command of Colonel Cholmley is set forth with little Money which expresses great disaffection to His Majesties service and wilful neglect of your own and the whole Kingdoms safety the Scotch Army having taken Newcastle and being on their march towards these parts These are therefore to Will and require you in His Majestie 's Name and by His special Command to raise and cause to be raised by the Port Constable or otherwise as you shall think best the summ of 20 s. 8 d. at least for each common Soldier 's belonging to such Towns or Parishes to send the same immediately to York to be delivered to the Colonel for Pay and Supply of the said Soldiers and likewise to charge and command all and every person and persons who find private Arms or contribute thereunto for thwith to send the like summ at least to York to be disposed as aforesaid And in case any of them refuse to contribute you are required by like Command to certifie me the Names of such refusers that a Messenger may be sent to bring them hither to serve in person and be severely punished according to the Quality of so high an offence seeing the safety of His Majestie 's Person and the safety of
