The Peoples ECCHO To the Parliaments DECLARATIONS Concerning a Personall Treaty with the KING Containing a Collection of some few passages out of severall Declarations and Expresses of the LORDS and COMMONS assembled in Parliament at Westminster concerning a Personall Treaty with the KING Together with an humble enforcement of the equity and justice of the said Expresses Humbly presented not only to the review of the Honourable Parliament but also to the serious consideration of the Lord Major Aldermen and Commons of LONDON in Common-Councell Assembled Isa 59.9 Judgement is farre from us neither doth Justice overtake us We wait for light but behold obscurity for brightnesse but we walke in darkenesse LONDON Printed by Matthew Simmons 1648. The Peoples Eccho to the Parliaments Declarations concerning a Personall Treaty with the KING Declaration of the Lords and Commons of the 4th of March 1647. in answer to the papers of the Scotch Commissioners page 20. WEE aske what reason have we to expect better satisfaction in the way of a Treaty then formerly wee had therein at Uxbridge or in a Personall Treaty at Oxford unlesse we be resolved before hand to treat away all that we have fought for and to be treated out of all that wee could not be fought out of or at least what can we expect of a Treaty but that under pretence of satisfying all Interests one Interest shall be set up against another to divide us And that thereby having laid no foundation of safety before-hand the King might set up His Interest above them all Ibid. If wee cannot have Peace but upon these termes viz. The will of the King and the advantage of the Crowne in the Kings esteeme Vpon these termes we needed not to have any Warre which had been much the more Christian resolution and would have saved the effusion of much blood whereof if we proceed upon such principles as those wee must needs draw the whole guilt upon our owne selves Decl. of the 4th of March 1647. pag. 24. If the way of reason and perswasion be the only equall faire and just way to obtaine a well grounded Peace c. we have gone in a very foule way hitherto which should have been taken into consideration before we had engaged our selves and the Kingdome in so much cost and blood which was not only spent unnecessarily but also very unlawfully if wee must goe no way but that of perswasion c. who doth not see that these Principles doe not only BRING VPON VS ALL THE BLOOD THAT HATH BEEN SHED IN THIS WAR but also plucketh up the foundation of any hope of ever setling a Peace with the King which shall be both just and sure seeing we cannot have it justly but upon his termes which no man that hath his eyes in his head can believe that they will be other then such as tend to the apparent destruction of the persons which have engaged and the losse of the ends for which both Kingdomes have engaged in this war Decl. of the 24th of March 1647. pag. 25. The bringing of the King to London for a Personall Treaty with the Parliament before the maine points in difference between them be setled assured is to no other purpose but to encrease that fond humour of confidence in misled and deceived people which prevaileth in them too much already before they have assurance which they and their posterity may after rue and repent when it is too late to help it Decl. of the 4. of March 1647. pag. 21. The Scotch Commissioners mistake their aime if they thinke the Kings presence with the Parliament necessarily implieth his presence at London which HE and THEYso much desire THAT HE MIGHT HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO CAJOLE THE CITIZENS c. His returne to his Parliament with the same affections and intentions that is to destroy and undermine his Parliament and to renew the warre against them is as great a reason for his absence from it as his absence formerly from it in order to destroy it and to begin a warre against them was then a reason for his presence Decl. of the 4. of March 1647. pag. 86. How BASE and DISHONOURABLE a thing would it have been for the houses of Parliament being in that condition they are to have treated under the Gallowes to have treated as Traytors their Cause being not justified nor the Declarations against them as Rebels recalled And how FOOLISH a thing would it have been being possessed of the sword according to their right not to secure it even from his owne claime to the contrary to themselves and posterity before they treated of any thing to the end that neither they nor their Posterity might be put to play another bloody game for the same thing The Parliaments Scots Commissioners answer to his Majesties Letters of the 26. 29. of Decemb. 1645.
