By a Member of the House of Commons Printed in the Yeare 1648. A Paire of Christall SPECTACKLES IN the first place I will begin with our Brethren of Scotland Commissioners what rare contradictions and practices they held forth in their papers sometimes the King must not come to London or be admitted to a personall Treaty untill he hath given security and satisfaction for all the Innocent blood he hath shed c. And then again he must come without either and sometimes Propositions and no personall Treaty and at other times a personall Treaty and no Propositions which are impositions sometimes the King must take the Covenant other-while if he come not to the length of our desire in so doing we must be content and sometimes they tell the King upon his refusing the Propositions both kingdoms will be constrained for mutuall defence and safety to agree to settle Religion and Peace without him and then upon the turn of the tyde they tell us we must waite untill God change his heart and for the safety of the Kingdome the Army must be disbanded the King invested in the Militia or it in him and when our Commissioners in Scotland tel them Barwick and Carlisle are taken and demand reparations against those Malignants and Incendiaries they protected they Answer that when they know the parties names that have taken them and the certainty those Garisons be taken then they will give the Parliament an answer And were not they and their faction with the King and all the Malignants and Papists the first contrivers and abettors of this last personall Treaty the King and his party being wholly conquered and having no hopes but this left which the Parliament in the heat of all their War with the advice of the Kingdome of Scotland would never admit of For had not the Lord Goring told you in his former intercepted Letters that if the King could but cudgell the Parliament into a Treaty the King had brought his designes to perfection and reported of the King himself that he should say then it should not be in the power of men nor Devils in hindring him from bringing al his Designes to his own hearts desire Have you forgot how the last invitation of the Scots into England and the Rebellions of Wales Kent and Essex c. and by whom countenanced and in this last Treaty with what a slight hand were Delinquents beaten the first and last war in this Treaty hath been passed over and many seemed to be satisfied with the Kings Answer though he will neither part from Episcopacy nor their Lands nor with Delinquents which by Covenant Promise and publique Faith we cannot comply with the King therein And have you forgotten the Kings unparalell Uxoriousnesse and affections to the Queen For doth he not tell you under his own hand in his Letters taken at Nazeby That he will be ever constant to the Rules and Grounds in the Little paper the Queen left with him and That hee would not desert the Bishops and Papists the Queen and his best friends And hath he not indevoured to bring in Irish and French Forces c. and promiseth to suspend all Laws against all Papists both in England and Ireland And have you forgotten the Queens Letter wherein she adviseth him in the first place to disband this perpetuall Parliament and then she saith All the rest will easily follow And be Judge your selves if all the Papists in all the 3 Kingdoms do not oppose this Parliament and their friends that are most active and were not Parliaments ever called by the King Factious c. because they alwayes stood in his way against the bringing in of Popery and tyranny And hath he not indevoured with the Bishops and by juggling designes by degrees to cheat us of our Religion and to settle popery and Tyranny And hath he not indevoured to stirre up factions and differences between the honest party in England Scotland that he might take advantage by such Devision And hath not he often broken his promise and protestations in many particulars which might be named And did he not openly declare in Parliament that he owes an account of his actions to none but to God alone and that the Houses of Parliament joynt or separate have no power to make or declare a Law without him And have you forgot what hath been reported about King Jamses death and Marquis Hambleton and what cutting and slitting of noses have been before this present Parliament and Loans Shipmony Star-Chamber Councel Table High Commission Court Court of Wards Monopolies Knight-hood inlarging of Forrests inclosing of Commons and ingrosing of Gun powder Judges turned out of their places for doing their duties and many hundred of other particulars might be here named And were not the people forbidden so much as to speak of a Parliam and when a Parliament was inforced to be called in May 1640. was it not dissolved after 14 dayes because they would not ingage against the Kingdom in a War against the Scots And is his Design in bringing up the Northern Armies forgotten And his large offers to the Scots Army to be brought up to London to awe the Parliament and his sending over the Jewels of the Crown to be pawned by the Queen for Powder Ammunition to fight for the Protestant Religion and his sending for Papists horses for to seat Protestant Riders upon and then give his Commission to thousands of Papists to fight for him contrary to his many promises and protestations And did not Henderson that godly and learned Divine tel him he had made 1500 Widdows in one morning in Scotland and do you not think there was a design by the King and his party to alter the Militia of London whose faithfulnesse to the Parl. and City have been tryed to the uttermost in a fiery furnace of six years Warres And have you forgot the Kings secret compliance with Secretary Windebank in favouring of papists priests c whom the Scots call the Popes Vicar And is the Popes Nuncio residing here and his private transactions forgotten And the Cardinals cap sent to England and the Kings Agents at Rome his Letter to the Pope many other secret practises in this kind to have brought in popery and Tyranny And have you forgot the Duke of Buckingham the Kings favorite how wel he managed the Militia of this Kingdom of the losse of Rochel in France by the Kings lending his ships to the French K. the Isle of Ree Cales Voyage the Grounds and reasons of the Quarel And have you forgot that ancient true saying That ancient Monarchy is ancient Tyranny And stick close to those in the Parl. Army which stand most against the Kings prerogative otherwise you will never get any to serve you except such persons as Henry Jermin and Jack Craffes it is your disposition alwayes to be murmuring at your present condition Did ever Parliament take more
