A second why NOT.  
Or Eight Queries, made to the Parliament, From the People of England, being the supreme Power thereof in 1649.  
WHether this Nation shall be a free People, according to Magna Charta, (now regained with such a vast expense of Treasure, and effusion of blood) and according to our trust reposed in you, and your solemn deep engagements, Vows, and Promises, made to us, to make us a free People? And WHY NOT yet performed by you, according to your Promise made to us, since the King's death? And if a Free-State. WHY NOT our Persons acquitted of imprisonment, and we a Free-People.  
II. Whether you intend to pass the national Act for Liberty or not, and to take off all Capias for Arrests, That so we the people of England may be secured from trouble in our personal Liberties and thereby enabled freely to follow our Callings and Endeavours for Livelihood? And WHY NOT, seeing it is our just birthright?  
III. Whether this Nation shall still be enslaved in their Estates, personal Liberties, and Lives, to the present corrupt, delatory, chargeable practices of the Law, and to the cruel, impious (Unparalleled) mercenary Instruments of the same (by whom thousands of this Nation have been ruined and destroyed) even by Lawyers and gaolers? And WHY SO, seeing they are cruel, abominable and wicked?  
iv. Whether you intend to prefer the impious flourishing State of an inconsiderable number of corrupt Judges, 
Isa. 56. 11,  and mercenary Lawyers, and cruel murdering gaolers (Enemies to England's Liberties) before the just Liberties, Peace, and Welfare of this great Nation? And WHY SO? Seeing he that treadeth in their paths, shall never have Peace nor Rest, Ier. 5. 1, 2. And by whom; God, Truth, Justice, Mercy, Life, Estate, Rights and Liberties, are sold for money daily.  
V. Whether justice shall be freely administered to all (both rich and poor) the oppressed relieved, with full satisfaction and reparation for their wrongs sustained, and the imprisoned set free, SO, as their persons may not be still subject to imprisonment every two or three days, 
Isa. 59 1, 2 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ●, 9, 10, 11.  or as often as their malicious cruel adversaries shall think meet so to do? And WHEN, after eight years' Expectation? contrary to Isa. 33. 15, 16. Psal. 82. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.  
VI. Whether the Creditors, according to Magna Charta, shall be enabled to reap Due and Real Satisfaction for their just Debts, out of the real and personal Estates of all able Debtors, in the two third parts thereof (Entailed Lands also not exempted) without any tedious juggling, chargeable delatory tricks in the Law? And WHY NOT, rather than Lawyers and gaolers to rob both them, and the Debtors? The one of his Debt, and the other of his Liberty, and to the hindrance of seamen in Navigation.  
VII. Whether all persons by you entrusted with many Millions of the National Treasure, (and by them perverted) shall be called to a just and strict account for the same, whereby the soldiery may be duly satisfied, and this whole Nation eased and acquitted from the unsupportable Burdens of all the several great Taxes, and daily Plunders, wherein the soldiery is made to appear the Actors, (conceived to be done by the Speaker and Lawyers) merely to render the soldiers the more odious and detestable to this whole Nation (a subtle contrivance, to imbrue the Nation again into a Sea of Blood through the daily increase of all the people's heartburnings against you, and the soldiers? And WHY NOT, that so Knaves may be known?  
VIII. Whether you intend to abolish Tithes, restore the Rights of the Poor, call a new Representative, provided, That all mercenary Lawyers be exempted from coming up to Westminster for justice; but every man to have Justice administered at his own door, as in the days of King Edward, and King Alfred, who hanged up 45 County judges in one year, for taking Bribes, and passing false Judgement; and Edward the fourth who hanged 15 gaolers in one year for exacting moneys from Prisoners; and the Law practised in our English tongue, in some brief expedicious way, without any delatory (heats, Fees, or Bribes, (as now used) according to the command of God, the present practice of all other Nations in the World where more justice is to be had for eight pence, than here in our Land for 800. l. And WHY NOT unjust things abolished?  
Finally, our desires are. That because there is a far greater number of able honest conscientious understanding men in every of our Cities, Counties, Hundreds. Towns and Villages that are able to judge and determine all Controversies between a man and his neighbour better than any of those Instruments of Contention, The Lawyers. (England's Cankerworms) whose Nature and Profession is to fish in troubled Waters, and to make the Wound of Contention deeper and far larger, rather than to cure it, That therefore they may no ways be thought fit to decide any controversy in judgement, nor to sit in our National Assemblies, but to be expunged and expelled the House of Parliament, even as the Bishops, Lords, and judges were before them? And WHY NOT the power of such Serpents destroyed, and quite confounded, confounded, Yea accursed of God and abhorred of men let all them be, That appear in their defence, or stand up for their support, WHY NOT?  
Amen. By James Frese merchant.
