ECCLES. 2. 14. The wise mans eyes are in his head ; but the fool walketh in darkness . LONDON , Printed in the Year . 1647. The Totall and Finall DEMANDS of the AGITATORS and ARMY : Upon Concession whereof they will rest fully satisfied , and Disband when they shall think seasonable ; but not before , in all probability . 1. THat all the * Forces and Militia of England , Ireland , Wales , and the Islands thereunto belonging ; the City and Tower of London , with all the Towns , Forts , and Garrisons within England , Ireland , Wales , and the Isles ; and the Navy of the Kingdom , may be immediately put into their hands and power ; not to inthral the Parliament and people to their wils and tyranny , but to maintain the Subjects Freedom and Liberties ; the Kings Prerogative and Parliaments Priviledges , in such sort , and for so long time , as they in their just discretions shal think meet : ( A demand already concluded , and in substance already propounded and granted ; ) that so the General ( only in name ) and Lieutenant General , in truth , may become absolute Emperors of all King CHARLS his Realms and Dominions ( now Captive under their Soveraign Power , ) til the Agitators and Army shal think fit to dethrone him , to set up either a new John of L●yden of their own creation , or introduce a Popular Tyranny , & Anarchy , which suits best with their * principles , and the Peoples Freedom , the Supream power and Authority , to whom all other powers are subordinate de jure , and must be so de facto ; before this Army disband ; as their Papers intimate . 2. That not only the X-I. accused Members , but all Presbyterians and other Members in both Houses , opposite to the Armies proceedings or designs in any particular , may be cast out of both [ as wel as all such Officers cashiered the Army ; ] predicted in Englands Birth-right , and now actually demanded in many of their printed Papers , but most clearly expressed in that of 7o Julii , at Reading , wherein the Commissioners of the Army render this as a reason why they refuse to proceed in the Treaty ; That notwithstanding the Votes of the House of the tenth of June , and those since of the fifth of Iuly , for the present purging of the House , yet divers persons comprised in these Votes continue stil to sit there ; And what comfortable effect may we expect of a Treaty so long as THE PARLIAMENT ( the supream Iudicatory of the Kingdom ) is constituted ☞ OF SOME THAT ARE MEN OF INTERESTS , CONTRARY TO THE COMMON GOOD THEREOF , from whom we can expect nothing but banding and designing to obstruct and frustrate all proceedings ( contrary TO THEIR INTEREST . ) And if a seasonable remedy be not given herein , we despair of any good to the Kingdom by way of Treaty . And when both Houses are thus fully purged , That then King Charls , their Prisoner ( whom now they flatter only for the easier accomplishment of their own ends , & to take off the envy and opposition of his party , as some of them acknowledg in plain terms ) be forthwith articled against , * impeached , arraigned , deposed , executed , and his posterity dis-inherited by the Parliament , as the Grand Delinquent , and Author of all the late Wars , Mischiefs and blood-shed in his three Kingdoms ; And after that the Members of both Houses , who have been opposite to them , arraigned and condemned as breakers of trust and Invaders of the peoples Liberties ; and then the domineering House of Peers perpetually abolished , and a new-model'd Parliament consisting meerly of Commoners ( elected by the Army ) constituted , to execute only what the generallity of the Agitators and people shall prescribe them . 3. That the * Assembly of Divines be immediately dissolved and impeached of high Treason ; Presbyteries suppressed , the Directory , National League and Covenant , Parishes , Parish Churches , Chappels , Tithes , Oblations , Ministers made by Ordination , Universities , and all Schools of learning ( except only such as teach to read English , write and cypher ) all set forms of Prayer , the Lords Prayer , Creed , and Ten Commandments , baptizing of Infants , and singing of Psalms utterly abolished as Antichristian , and an Act of eternal oblivion passed against them ; That a full and free Liberty be granted to all persons whatsoever to preach , baptize , dip , set up what new Congregations and Religions they please , and broach any Heresie , Error , Blasphemy , or new opinion without the least inhibition , as they do now within the Armies Precincts . 4. That all * Innes of Court and Chancery , all Courts of Iustice now erected , as wel Civil as Ecclesiastical , with the Common , Civil , Canon and Statute Laws formerly in force ; and all Corporations , Tenures , Copyholds , rents and services , with all Titles and Degrees of Honor , Nobility and Gentry , elevating one free-subject above another may be totally abolished , as clo●gs snares , and grievances to a free-born people , and inconsistent with that universal parity and equality of condition which ought to be among Free-men , & opposite to the Cōmunion of Saints 5. That all the * Lands and Estates of Deans , Chapters , Prebends , Universities , Colledges , Halls , Free-schools , Cities , Corporations , Ministers Gleablands ; and so much of the Lands of the Nobility , Gentry , and rich Citizens and Yeomen , as exceeds the summ of 300 l. per annum ▪ and all the Revenues of the Crown belonging to the King or his children , be equally divided between the Officers and Soldiers in the Army to satisfie their Arrears , and recompence their good services ( all the wealth of London being too little to reward them , as their friends have published in Print ) that so the Prophecy of Daniel 7. 22. may be fulfilled , Judgement is given to the Saints of the most high , and the time came that the Saints possessed the Kingdom ; much descanted upon in the Army both by the Soldiers and their * Chaplains , as now or never to be accomplished . 6. That all * Reformado Officers , Soldiers , and Forces in or about London , or elsewhere not actually under the Armies power may be immediately dispersed ; all listings of men , but only by the Generals and Armies order , prohibited under pain of high Treason ; the old City and Parliaments Guards removed ; and a New strong Guard of horse and foot presently sent from the Army to secure the City and Tower of London , and the * Commons House ( under pretence of preventing a new War ; ) that so the Lives , Liberties and Estates both of Lords , Commons , Citizens , Gentlemen , Reformadoes , Soldiers , and people of all sorts , may be at the absolute mercy and free disposal of the Army , without the least hopes of resistance , or opposition , till all the precedent demands be granted and accomplished ; and then we shal be as free a people as the slaves in Turky or Algiere . When all this is effected , and the Kingdom utterly exhausted with taxes and free-quarter to keep up this unmercinary and most meritorious Army , who have such glorious designs in hand for the Kingdoms ease , and peoples Liberties and enfranchisement from their ancient Vassallage to the King , Parliament , Laws , Magistrates , Ministers , &c. our supream Lords and Masters ( the Agitators and Army ) wil be satisfied , and contentedly disband to divide the spoils in the fifth demand , but not willingly before , if their Principles or printed Papers ; their private free ingenuous discourses ; the Pamphlets and Petitions of their Confederates , the practises of their Predecessors in Germany , and the series of their late high proceedings and multiplyed demands ( growing every day higher , and more then formerly ) may pass either for demonstrations , or more then probable presages . Let all wise , honest , and wealthy men then , both in Parliament , City and Country be no longer gulled or blinded with specious pretences , but look about them in time ; and provide for the publick safety and the Liberty of the King , Parliament , Kingdom , and their own preservation , before it be over late : and take the Poets advice to heart . Principiis obsta ; sero medicina paratur Cum mala per longas invaluere moras . In fine ; In bello non licet bis errare ; hic nec semel . Reader , consider these Passages among others in Lilburns new printed Regal Tyranny Discovered , ( whose brothers are chief sticklers in the Armies Treasonable proceedings ) p. 14. We may evidently perceive , that this Office of a King is not , in the least , of Gods institution ; neither is it to be given to any man upon earth . And p. 56 , 57. Charls Stewart , hath committed treason against the Kingdome of England , &c. To sum up all , he is guilty of all the innocent bloodshed in England , Scotland , and Ireland , since the Wars , which is the blood of thousands of thousands . For which if all the Sons of men should be so base and wicked as not to do their duty , in executing Iustice upon him ( in deposing and beheading him ) which legally may and OUGHT TO BE DONE , by those especially who have Power , and Authority in their hands ; Yet undoubtedly the righteous God will , and that I am confident in an exemplary manner , in despight of all his bloody and wicked Protectors and Defenders . And then judge in what condition the King , Kingdome , and Parliament now are in , under the power of men of Lilburns Spirit and Principles . FINIS .
