A Declaration of the Honourable House of the Commons, concerning the accounts of the Kingdom. THe Commons assembled in Parliament, taking into their consideration, that the Malignant Party of this Kingdom, the causes of all these disturbances in the Common-Wealth, which have enforced the Parliament to raise great and vaste sums upon the Subjects; have likewise been the authors of many false aspersions, as if those sums had exceeded the necessity, or were diverted from public services to the advantage of particular persons; and being thereof very sensible, have thought fit for the satisfaction of all his Majesties Subjects, and removal of such unjust scandals, to publish an account of all sums received and disbursed by their Order from the beginning of this Parliament, until the first of june, 1642. that so their own integrity may be cleared, and the people admonished not to give credit to those, who being prevented in their wicked designs of destroying the Parliament by force, do now labour by impudent falschoods and calumnies, to deprive it of the confidence of those whom they represent, without which, all their pains will be unserviceable to the public, and uncomfortable to themselves. Before the sitting of this Parliament, the mischievous councils then prevailing, had caused two Armies of England and Scotland, to bee brought very near together, in the bowels of the Kingdom; when for the prevention of blood, and other mischiefs of war, it was agreed by the Treaty at Rippon, that the sum of twenty five thousand pound a month, should be paid to the Scottish Army, which before it could be disbanded, put the Kingdom to the charge of two hundred seventy four thousand two hundred and fifty pounds. It was likewise conceived, That the Kings Army could not with honour bee discharged before the removal of the Scots; for payment of which, his Majesty was engaged by several establishments under his royal Signature, and the hands of the privy council. The consideration whereof moved the Parliament, out of a tender regard of his Majesties honour, and for the better securing the peace of the Kingdom, to undertake the payment of that Army, and of the garrisons of carlisle and Barwick: I he charge whereof was about fifty thousand pound a Month, which from the tenth of Nowember 1640. until the time of disbanding in August and September following, amounted to the sum of sour hundred ninety one thousand two hundred pounds, as may easily be collected out of these accounts. Besides the monthly payments before mentioned, continued to the Scots for above ten Moneths; The losses and charges which his Majesties loving Subjects of that Nation, had sustained by occasion of these grievances and oppressions, which moved them to come into this Kingdom, were presented to the consideration of this Parliament, and by their estimate, did amount to above seven hundred thousand pounds, a sum too great for that kingdom to bear; which caused the Parliament for their case & relief, to afford them a brotherly assistance, of three hundred thousand pound, to besatisfied at three payments ( viz.) At disbanding eigthty thousand pound; At midsummer 1642, one hundred and ten thousand pound; And at midsummer 1643, one hundred and ten thousand pound. These great burdens amounting to a full Million and sixty five thousand four hundred fifty pound over, as they were caused by the Malignant Party, so ought in justice to be satisfied by them: Towards the effecting whereof divers proceedings were commenced in a Parliamentary way against several Delinquents, in favour of whom, and to prevent the just benefit which the Common-Wealth might have had by those proceedings, many diversions and obstructions have been interposed, and several Plots and designs against the Parliament have been contrived. And whiles the Parliament was conflicting with these great necessities and interruptions, and in a good forwardness to prevail against both, The Rebellion in Ireland broke out, for the speedy suppression whereof the Parliament forthwith provided fifry thousand pound, and afterwards when the Rebellion increased to that strength and confidence, that the whole Kingdom was infested with it, and all the Irish Papists actually in arms against this Crown for the rooting out of the Protestant Religion and the English Plantation, in defence and maintenance thereof, they were enforced to raise several Armies, consisting in all, of above forty thousand foot, & three thousand four hundred horse, which are already in Ireland, except five thousand foot and five hundred horse to bee raised and maintained at the charge of the Adventurers, which have long been delayed for want of his Majesties Commission, which cannot yet bee obtained, although both Houses of Parliament have often most earnestly desired the same. The expenses in raising these Armies, and supplying them with victuals and other necessaries, amount to one hundred eighty one thousand eight hundred forty five pound three shillings four pence, disbursed before the first of june, 1642. to which are to be added divers payments since, and the Arrears to the souldiers still remaining due, both which will make a great sum; besides the future growing charge of maintaining all these Forces, which will come to about eighty thousand pound a Month. To these Land Forces, we have been compelled to add a great Fleet at Sea for the defending this Kingdom, and preventing supplies of men and munition to be brought to the Rebels in Ireland, for which service are employed upon the cost of England and Ireland fifty two sail of ships, the charge of which ships and other necessaries, and for satisfaction of Arrears for his Majesties navy, will appear in the account hereunto annexed to be three hundred twenty four thousand four hundred eighty pound nineteen shillings eight pence, besides fifteen sail of ships set out at the charge of the Adventurers. Notwithstanding all these great burdens upon the Kingdom, his Majesty hath received towards the charge of his household, the maintenance of his royal children, the Queen of Bohemia and her children, & other private uses, within the space of a year ended in May last, one hundred eighteen thousand two hundred ninety two pounds nine shillings eleven pence, out of the tonnage & Poundage, & the monthly assignments are still continued: The composition for Purveyance are paid towards the maintenance of his Majesties household, and some payments to the Forts, which should have been issued out of the Exchequer; Nothing hath been withdrawn from his Majesty of any just profit, or diverted from the public occasion to the private benefit of any person, as hath been falsely reported, nor any concealed from the public, but all the disbursements will clearly appear upon the Account: The particulars whereof, being very large, and not to be contained in less than twenty quires of paper, this House hath ordered to be forthwith brought in, and to remain on Record in this House, where any that desire satisfaction, may view them. And there is good cause to hope that those difficulties might be overcome, and Religion and peace settled in both kingdoms without any greater burdens upon the Common-wealth, if the Subscription for Adventurers in Ireland be furthered in the Country, the sums collected or due by several Acts may speedily be sent up, and the proceedings against Delinquents freed from those manifold obstructions whereby they have been hindered, that so the Fines to be justly imposed upon them, may be applied to the ease and satisfaction of the Common-wealth, as in Iustice they ought to be. But such is the dangerous and miserable condition of this Kingdom, by reason of the malicious and jesuitical faction, which have corrupted his Majesties Counsels, captivated his Person, seized upon his power, and not only withdrawn him from his Parliament, but provoked him to raise arms against them; And by his countenance possessed themselves of Places of strength in this Kingdom( as they had done at Hull if they had not been prevented by the wisdom of the Parliament) and since have effected at Newcastle and Tynmouth, where garrisons are already placed, and Fortifications begun; that the Parliament can have no breathing or freedom from these mischievous Plots and designs ever multiplying and renewing against them; whereby the faire hopes of success of the Irish war, all the good laws already obtained, and the hopeful endeavours and preparations made in this Parliament for the future safety and prosperity of the Kingdom are like to end in the destruction of Religion and the public liberty, if the good Subjects do not unanimously apply themselves to assist the Parliament, in redeeming his Majesties Person and government, out of the wicked hands and pernicious Counsels, of those who have conspired to abuse his Authority and power to the destruction of himself and all his people; and which do daily produce effects so dangerous to the State, and burdensome to the Subjects, as neither the wisdom of the Parliament will long be able to resist, nor the Treasure of the Kingdom to defray.
