London Printed for W. Gay . 1642. A Declaration of the Lords and Commons concerning a Paper directed by his MAIESTY to the Lord MAIOR and Sheriffs of London , Dated Iune fourteenth , 1642. WHereas in a paper inscribed to our trusty and well-beloved the Lord MAIOR , Aldermen and Sheriffs of the City of London , dated the fourteenth of June 1642. It is affirmed that great labour is used to perswade his MAJESTIES Subjects to raise Horse and to furnish money upon pretence of a Guard for the Parliament , but in truth to bee imployed against his MAJESTY , The Lords and Common doe declare that the designe of those Propositions is , as was formerly declared , to maintaine the Protestant Religion , the KINGS Authority and Person in his Royall Dignity , the free course of Justice , the Lawes of the Land , the Peace of the Kingdome and priviledges of Parliament , against any force which shall oppose them . And they doe further declare , that as the forces already attending his MAIESTY and the preparation which his MAIESTY is now making of Armes , Horse and Ordinance from within his Kingdome and without , at first coloured under the pretence of a Guard , doe evidently appeare to be intended for some great and extraordinary Designe , so they give just cause of feare and jealousy to the Parliament . And doe fully justify those Votes of the KINGS intention of levying Warre against the Parliament , to be altogether free from any imputation of scandall as is injuriously cast upon them by that paper ; For so long as his MAIESTY shall continue those levies and preparation . The Lords and Commons in Parliament , having been so often threatned and reviled for their proceedings about Hull , and the Militia , so necessarily undertaken for the good and peace of the Kingdome , they cannot bee secured by his MAIESTIES solemne Protestation alone , expressed in this and other Declarations , That all his desires and purposes are for the publick peace , and that he hath not the least thought of using force , except he be compelled to it for the defence of his Person and protecti of the Lawes , seeing his MAIESTY in a Declaration published at Hyworth More , doth interpret the protection of the Lawes in such a manner as giveth just and full occasion to beleeve , that by protecting the Lawes , his MAIESTY intendeth force upon , or against those who shall submit to the Ordinance of the Militia , it appeares by divers expressions of his MAIESTY , he hath discovered an intention of making some attempt upon Hull . And because in both which cases they doe declare that whatsoever violence shall be used either against those who exercise this Militia , or against Hull , they cannot but take it as done against the Parliament . And whereas the Houses have upon loane received great summes of money for the service of Ireland , from the Companies of the City of London , ( for which they give them grtat and hearty thankes . ) They doe declare that these summes shall be dispended as the former have beene to that onely service . Notwithstanding an Infinuation laying an aspersion upon them as if they had done otherwise . Further , whereas it is declared to the great reproach of the Parliament , that the summes desired towards the raising of Horse and Armes is contrived upon generall pretences by some few Factious persons we leave it to the World to judge how it is possible , that Houses should have all their members , seeing diverse of them are by his Majestie summoned to Yorke , and there contrary to the Lawes of the Land ; and priviledges of Parliament deteined , may be protected from the Justice of both Houses . And secondly , how that can possibly be called a Faction which is done by both Houses of Parliament , the greatest Court of England , the most faithfull Councell his Majesty hath . But at such language as this they wonder not , considering by what wicked Councell his Majesties affaires are guided , and by what malignant spirits his Majesties affections to the Parliament of late have been mis-led . Both Houses well weighing the premisses doe forbid any Majors , Sheriffs , Bailiffs , or other Officers whatsoever to publish or spread that paper as they will answer their contempt to the Parliament . And doe assure themselves that neither his Majesties commands nor his threats will withdraw or deterrmen well affected to the publique from doing their duty , in contributing such money , horse and plate , as will be necessary for the preserving the being of Parliament , the peace of the Kingdome , and those other ends before mentioned , for which they are desired . The dangerous and mischievous intentions of some about his Majestie being such , that whatsoever is most precious to men of conscience and honour , as religion , liberty , and publique safety , are like to be overwhelmed and lost in the generall confusion and calamity of the Kingdome , which will not only question , but overthrow the Charter of the City of London , expose the Citizens , their Wives , and Children to violence and villany , and leave the wealth of that famous City , as a prey to those desperate and necessitous persons . The Lords and Commons as they hope by this means those horrid Mischiefs may be prevented : So those of the City ( which contribute hereunto ) whereof none are so mean and base , as to deserve the reproches cast on them by that paper . And all his Majesties good Subjects may be assured that in doing their duty herein , they shall be protected and secured in their persons , Liberties , and Estates , by the power and authority of both Houses of Parliament , according to their former ingagements , which they will ever faithfully perform . A copy of a Letter sent from the Right Honourable the Lord Paget , Lord Lieutenant of the County of Buckingham , To the Right Honourable the Earle of Holland ; shewing the great readinesse of that County , to obey the Ordinance of the Parliament touching the Militia . I Have received so great expressions of my Countreymen of Buckinghamshire , of their good affections to the Publique , and ready Obedience to the commands of Parliament , in the present Muster this day begun for a fourth part of this County , that I held it my duty to make your Lordship acquainted here with , to the end an account may be given of it to the Parliament , if your Lordship shall thinke fit . Ten of my Deputy Lievtenants met me this morning at Beckonsfield , where we called over the Traine Band , consisting but of one hundred and fifty men , who made a very good appearance with their Armes and supplyes , and as full as they have been formerly upon any o●her summons . Besides eightscore Volunteers and upwards within this Division , presented themselves to us very well armed , and exercised in two Companies ; more in number then the Trained Band ; summoned to this place . I am also informed of another Company of an hundred and fifty Volunteeres more within this Division , that intend to shew themselves in our way to the next place of meeting , and of another Company of an hundred more , who there intend to meet us , besides the Trained Band . This publique testimony of my Countrymens good affections , for the safety of the King and Kingdome , I thought not unfit to make knowne . And rest Beckonsfield 23. May . 1642. Your Lordspips most dutifull sonne , and humble servant , WILLIAM PAGET . Newes from Yorke . WITH HIS MAJESTIES PROpositions to the Lords there . SIR , I Conceive my Lord of Lindsey is Admirall of England , and the Lord o●O●mond Lord Lievtenant of Ireland . The King hath this day made diverse Propositions to the Lords here ; As , First , to have the Declaration of both Houses of the ninth of May to be disavowed . Secondly , to have Justice in Hull businesse . Thirdly , to have the Militia declared to be his right . Fourthly , to have tumults punished . Fiftly , to have the Parliament adjourned to Oxford , Cambridge , Winchester , Yorke , Coventry , Bristoll , Nottingham , or any of those places where his Majesty shall command , and other things which I have not leisure to adde . To morrow they meet againe , and I beleeve the maine question will be , whether a Declaration shall be made here , or the Lords to agree here , and vote in the House , and in what equipage to goe . Our Court increaseth daily , and we beleeve , notwithstanding the offer of an hundred thousand pound , by the Common Councell , that the King may have as much money from the Citizens as they , and I beleeve here is ground for such a conceit . Here is no possibility for the Kings suddaine remove hence , though some thinke he may step hence to Lincolne , for three or foure dayes , to settle that Countrey , but I am not of that opinion , The examination of three notorius Rebels before a Committee sitting in the Court of Wards . THey were brought last Monday before a Committee of both Houses , sitting in the Court of Wards , where when they first appeared at their examination before the Committee , they answered , that they were Recusants , and being borne and brought up in the same Religion , which the Catholique Church of Rome profess●d , they were also resolved to live and die in the maintenance thereof : renouncing whatsoever shall be in opposition to the same . And that though the might be supposed to be Rebels , and so reputed , yet they did nothing ( as they strongly did asseverate ) but what the lawfulnesse of their Consciences did suggest unto them . Wherepuon it was Ordered by the House , that they should be committed to strong Custody , till the further censure of the House . FINIS .
