A90655	King Charles the First, no man of blood: but a martyr for his people· Or, a sad, and impartiall enquiry, whether the King or Parliament began the warre, which hath so much ruined, and undon the kingdom of England? and who was in the defensive part of it?	Philipps, Fabian, 1601-1690.	1649 (1649)	Wing P2008; Thomason E531_3; ESTC R203147	60,256	72

conditions the King made unto them may make it to bee as needlesse to enquire of them as for a man to aske where to find Pauls Steeple in London when hee is in Pauls Church-yard or to enquire for the Sunne in the dog-dayes when hee and every man else may see or feele the effects of it wee shall bee content to consider what the King offered and what the Parliament would have had him to grant What the King would have done and what the Parliament have done and by that see which would have beene the better bargaine The King like a pater patriae offered over and over to grant all manner of Lawes and Liberties which might bee good and wholsome for his People and only denyed to grant those things the granting whereof as hee said himselfe would alter the fundamentall Lawes and endanger the very foundation upon which the Publique happinesse and welfare of his People was founded and constituted or to give them Stones instead of bread or Scorpions insteade of Fishes But the Parliament meaning to feede the People neither with bread nor Fishes ask the Royall-Sword Crowne and Scepter Coronation-Oath and Conscience and an Arbitrary-Power to Governe and Domineere over their fellow Subjects and to enslave those that trusted them And though the King had already granted enough to preserve the Lawes ●ives Religion and Liberty of the people and was so willing almost at any rate to purchase a peace for himselfe and his people as hee was content to part with his Sword and Militia and divers other parts of his Regality during his life Yet that would not serve the turne 't was Naboths vineyeard not Ahabs Fast made all the businesse the Parliament that pretended so much to deny themselves and to dote upon the people doe notwithstanding all they can to continue the Warre and to cozen and force the Peoples blood estates and conscience out of them and they must never give over paying of taxes fighting and fooling till they enable them to imprison their King and not only murther him but thousands and many ten thousands of their fellow-subjects and the Lawes Religion and Liberties of the people And now that they have don more then the men of the Gunpowder-treason intended to do and all England are become like Sheep without a Sheepheard wandring on the mountains and thousands of Wolves by votes and ordinances and mis-called Acts of Parl. appointed to feed them 4 or 5 years sad experience in the Warres of the Parliament against the King and almost as much more time spent in setling and subduing the people making them like Camels to kneel down to take up their burdens labour and travell hard and endure hunger and thirst under them yet yeild up their veines to bee prick't for blood to enable their drivers to furnish them with a new supply of burdens when they shal be discharged of what they have laid upon them May easily shew us a difference as big as a mountaine betwixt our old good Lawes and Liberties enjoyed under a gracious King who had an Estate of inheritance large enough of his owne besides an Oath to obliege him to protect us and a Hell upon Earth and the most Slavish of all the governments were ever yet put upon a Nation by men of as little wit and Estates as they have honestie having no other obligations upon them but their owne abhominable designes and interests For which of the People unlesse those that have traded in their neighbours blood and ruine but hath made their complaints of their undoing The Religion of the Kingdome once so glorious is now cut into fancies and blasphemies the Churches where God was wont to bee worshiped either defaced or pulled downe or made Stables for horses the Lawes of the Kingdome that were consonant to the Word of God and had in them the Quintessence of all could bee found to bee extant in the lawes of nature Nations Civill lawes or rectified reason and whatsoever the wisdome and care of all former Kings in Parliament or the usage and customes of this or any other neighbouring Nations could bring to it's perfection and were wont to nourish and preserve peace and propertie among us voted out or into that sense or tother interest to that every thing or nothing or to that non-sence according as the Lawlesse Unlimited Unjust and Ignorant will of fellow Subjects shall please to misuse them in the voting-house or place of bandying aies or noes for a Parl. which in it 's legall and primitive institution consisting of King Lords Cōmons the right use of it is so venerable as no man as our Laws say ought so much as to speak or thinke dishonorably of it we cannot without violence to the Laws and our own reason and understanding call it where Publique orders are made without hearing of all or any parties interessed a peece of a cause heard by some none at all of it by others votes and parties made and picked and lent to one another before hand and the best of the Faction and juglers carry all the businesse as they have a mind to it A way of Justice worse then that if there were any in it of a lawles Court said to be kept yearly on a Hill betwixt Raleigh and Rochford in Essex the wednesday after every michaelmas-Michaelmas-day where the Steward or Judge sitteth in the Night after the first Cockcrowing without any light or Candle and calleth all that are bound to attend the Court with as low a voice as possibly he may writes orders with a coals and they that answer not are deepely amerced For that being a particular punishment long agoe inflicted upon the tenants of certaine Mannors in Raleigh hundred for a conspiracy against a King is but once a yeare and some shift or change or mercy of the Steward or an appeale may take away the inconveniency of it A way of government worse then to bee Subject to the rule of so many fooles for they might perchance doe that would bee just or so many Knaves who but in playing the Knaves one with another or for reward might sometimes do that which was right or Mad men which at intervals might doe something which was reasonable worse then for every Subject of England to bee put to play at dice for his life or Estate or any thing else hee should crave a Justice to get or keep for then hee might by skill or chance obtaine some thing In fine worse then any example or way of Government the World hath as yet produced and can have nothing worse but Hell it selfe The Parliament and priviledges of it are destroyed and every mans Life and Estate in no better a condition then at the pleasure of the next pretenders to it All the Charters and Liberties of Citties and corporate Townes Corporations of Trade and Companies of Merchants made voide all the Merchandise Trade and manufacture of the Kingdome laid open and in common to
