The Humble REMONSTRANCE and Petition of the LORDS and COMMONS in PARLIAMENT . Most gracious Soveraigne , YOur Majesties most humble and Loyall Subjects the Lords and Commons in Parliament , doe with all faithfulnes and zeale to yonr Majesties Service , acknowledge your Royall favour and protection to be a great blessing and securitie to them for the enjoying and preserving of all those publique and private Liberties and Priviledges which belong unto them ; and whensoever any of those Liberties or Priviledges shall bee invaded or broken , they hold themselves bound with humilitie and confidence to resort to your Princely Iustice for redresse and satisfaction . And because the Rights and Priviledges of Parliament are the Birth-right and Inheritance not onely of themselves , but of the whole Kingdome , wherein every one of your Subjects is interressed . The maintenance and preservation whereof doth very highly conduce to the publique peace and prosperity of your Majestie and all your People ; they conceive themselves more especially obliged with all humblenes and care ▪ yea , with all earnestnesse and constancie of resolution and indeavour to maintaine and defend the same . Amongst other the Priviledges of Parliament ; They doe with all dutifull reverence to your most excellent Majestie declare that it is their Ancient and undoubted Right ; That your Majestie ought not to take notice of any matter in agitation and debate in either Houses of Parliament , but by their information and agreement ; and that your Majestie ought not to propound any Condition , Provision or Limitation to any Bill or Act in debate or preparation in either Houses of Parliament ; or to manifest or declare your consent or dissent , approbation or dislike of the same before it be presented to your Majestie in due course of Parliament : and that every particular Member of either House hath free liberty of speech to propound or debate any matter according to the order and course of Parliament : and that your Majestie ought not to conceive displeasure against any man for such opinions and propositions as shall be delivered in such debate , it belonging to the severall Houses of Parliament respectively to judge and determine such errors and offences in words or actions as shall be committed by any their Members in the handling or debating any matters depending . They doe further declare that all the Priviledges above mentioned have beene lately broken to the great sorrow and grievance of your most humble and faithfull subjects in that Speech which your Majestie made in Parliament to both Houses upon Tuesday last the 14th . of this present Moneth of December , in that your Majestie did therein take notice of a Bill for impressing of Soldiers being in agitation in the said Houses , and not agreed upon : and that your Majestie did therein offer a Salvo Jure , or provisionall Clause to be added to that Bill before it was presented to your Majestie by the consent of both Houses , and did at the same time declare your displeasure against such persons as had moved some doubt or question concerning the same Bill . All which they doe affirme and declare to be against the ancient lawfull and undoubted Priviledges and Liberties of Parliament . And therefore they most humbly beseech your Majesty by your Royall Power and authority , to maintaine and protect them in these and all other the Priviledges of your high Court of Parliament , that you will not for the time to come breake or interrupt the same . And that none of your loyall Subjects may suffer or sustaine any prejudice in your Majesties favour or good opinion for any thing done or spoken in Parliament . And for the reparation of your loyall Subjects in this their just grievance and complaint , for the breaches of their priviledges above mentioned , and prevention of the like , for the time to come . That your Majestie will be pleased to declare and make knowne , the name or names of the person or persons , by whose misinformation and evill councell your Majestie was induced to the same , that so he or they may receive such condigne punishment , as shall appertaine to justice in that behalfe . And this they most humbly desire , and as your greatest and most faithfull Councell shall advise your Majesty to performe , as that which will be , not only a comfort to themselves , but likewise a great advantage to your Majesty , by procuring and confirming such a confidence and unity betwixt your Majesty and your People , as may be a foundation of Honour safety and Happinesse to your Person and Throne , as they stand bound alwaies to pray for , and indeavor . Imprinted in the Yeare , MDCXLI .
