A91152	A brief narrative of the manner how divers Members of the House of Commons, that were illegally and unjustly imprisoned or secluded by the Armies force, in December, 1648. and May 7. 1659. coming upon Tuesday the 27th of December 1659. ... to discharge their trusts for the several counties and places for which they serve, were again forcibly shut out by (pretended) orders of the Members now sitting at Westminster, who had formerly charged the Army with the guilt of the said force, and professed a desire to remove it, that all the Members might sit with freedom and safety. Published by some of the said Members, in discharge of their trust, and to prevent the peoples being deceived of their liberties and birthright ...

the better than what we found within that unless all were admitted we and the people took sufficient notice of the force affront and would be gone Yet asked first for the Officers that commmanded the Guard who were pretended to have orders for this force viz. Coll. Okey and Coll. Alured who being ready at hand were presently brought to us and after some expostulations were so far convinced of our rude entertainment that they caused the Door to be open and let the rest of us into the Lobby Our next attempt was to go into the House but then the said Collonels desired us to forbear We asked by what warrant they kept us out whom they knew to be Members they having sworn obedience to the Parliament they replyed they had orders for what they did we desired a sight of them and we would retire and trouble them no further Col. Alured said that their Order was not about them but some others and one Hage by name said they had verbal Orders to keep us out at length Col. Alured told us if we would rest our selves in the inner Lobby he would by the Serjant acquaint the House of our coming and demand of admitance and accordingly he went presently to the House door and knocking the Serjant came to the door to him but at the opening of it seeing some of us there offering to come in held the door almost shut Whereupon Col. Alured told him that the Members were come and endeavoured to get into the House desiring him to acquaint the Speaker and house so much as some of the Members did also which he promised and immediately did returning to the door to tell us that he had done so and that the House had thereupon taken up the debate of that businesse and the Turn-key presently took the key out of the door to prevent any further attempt of going in Col. Ingolsby whilst we were at the first door came in who was the only sitting Member that we saw for none came out whilst we were there him we desired to acquaint the House with our attendance and the force upon us which he promised to do and we believe did Having attended above an hour with more distance and strangenesse than ever we were used to when we went on Messages to the Lords house who usually came many of them out and discoursed very familiarly with us whereas not one of these self-made Lordlings whether out of Pride Guilt or both let others judge vouchsafed to come neer us We grew weary of waiting so long and Servilly upon those who in their highest Capacity are but our equals though we had born it thus sar to acquit our selves of neglecting no condescention that might make way to the discharge of the Trust we are in for our Country And therefore we made Col. Alured acquainted that we were resolved to stay no longer unless the House declared they desired we should Whereupon he went again to the House door which upon his knock being opened he acquainted the Serjant so much willing him to give notice thereof to the Speaker and Members sitting which he presently did and within a short time after the Serjant came out to us and having made a preamble that he had no direction to come and tell us any thing he told us of his own civility that the House had possed a vote in our business which in effect was the appointing the fifth of January to take it into consideration Which we looked upon as their confirming and owning this forcible exclusion of us and so departed And because we are well assured that care will be taken with the Mercenary pens to disguise and conceal this affair as much as they can from the Nations since in the very Journal Book all mention of our address and claim in the peoples and our own Rights hath been industriously avoided that we may discharge our Trust as far as we can to the Kingdom we have given this account thereof and shall now insert the Order it self with the names of the Members present at the passing thereof Tuesday Decemb. 27. 1659. Resolved by the * Parliament THat on the fifth day of January next this * House will take into consideration the Cases of all * absent Members and also how to supply the vacant places in order to the filling up of the * House and that in the mean time it be referred to a Committee to consider of all proceedings and all Orders and Cases touching absent Members and make their report at the same time viz. Mr. Scot Col. Feilder Mr. Robinson Major Salway Sr. James Harrington Col. Lister Mr. Millington Sr. Tho. Widdrington Lord chief Baron Wild Mr. Say Sr. Tho. Wroth. Mr. Skinner Baron Hill * Earl of Salsbury Mr. Garland Col. Harvey Mr. Fagg Mr. Solicitor Reynolds Sr. John Trevor Mr. Lenthal Alderman Atkins Mr. Pury Mr. Challoner Mr. Carew Ralegh Mr. Oldsworth Col. Dove Col. Eyres Col. Peter Temple And the said Committee are to meet this afternoone at two of the clock in the Speakers chamber and so de die in diem and to adjourn from place to place Besides those named of the Committee there were present in the House as the best Information tells us these following viz. Sir Henry Vane Col. Henry Martin Lord Mounson Isaac Pennington Col Ingolsby Mr. John Corbett Col. Downes Mr. James Temple Mr. Cawley Col. White Col. Sydenham Mr. Robert Cicill Mr. Strickland Serjeant Nicholas So that it seems the whole number of the House who have made this high breach of the privilege of Parliament were 42. which agrees with the entry of a division the same morning in the Journal book upon which there were 41. and 17. besides the Tellers making in the whole * 42. As for the dilatory order it self wherein they make themselves alone our Judges being now our Seeluders we shall need say little to it since it sounds forth its own emptiness injustice and delusion yet we cannot but take notice of the little ingenuity appears in it to call us absent Members whom they knew to be at the Door claiming our Right and to talk of considering the cases of all absent Members when they knew above two hundred of us have no other case to be considered but that which hath had a lamentable influence upon the whole Kingdom that is to say our forcible exclusion which by the course of Parliamentary proceedings they well knew ought as the most fundamental privilege to be taken into consideration before all other matters and not to be deferred to another day much less for ten daies when the Members excluded by force attended in crowds at the door for a removal of the force But to say no more we look upon it as subtilly as it seems to be carried as a Discovery evident enough to discerning Spirits of an intention to deprive double the major part of the House of their liberty to fit notwithstanding their undoubted
