A Declaration of the Offence taken by the House, against the justices of Middlesex for affronting the Citizensi TH●t on Friday there were 3. or 400. men, and Constables set about the Parliament, upon which the House sent for 3 or 4 of the Constables, and demanded the cause of their coming with so many men, who made answer, that it was by virtue of a warrant from the justices of Middlesex: whereby every Constable was commanded to bring 100 men presently to guard the Parliament. Further enquiry being made thereof, it appeared that the ground of their coming was by virtue of a warrant from the Lord Keeper to the justices of Middlesex, that if in case any riot, or tumult at the parliament, or any other place should be, they should speedily command the aid of Constables and watchmen, according to the Statute. That the justices of Middlesex upon the intelligence that the Citizens of London intended to come in a great multitude to pre●er a petition to the Parliament again●t Bishops: caused Constables to come down with men to suppress them. After the Justices of Middlesex were brought and severally examined, most of them pretended, that they knew not, but that the Warrants came from the Parliament, for the speedy sending of men for the house, But Justice Long upon his examination, said, that the cause of their coming was to suppress the Citizens tumultuous coming with their Petitions to the Parliament, from which the house took great offence at them, that they should go about to hinder the bringing of petitions to the Parliament upon any occasion.
