They have also discharged the Parliament of Scotland , and the Parliament of Ireland , give Lavvs to impose Taxes on both , vvhich no English Parliament did in former times , nor they novv do by Lavv . By vvhich means , instead of three famous Parliaments of th●se three renovvned Kingdomes , vve have nothing left , if the vvill and force of a fevv men may prevail , but a small piece of the Parliament of England . Observations upon the afore mentioned List . 1. That in former times , and in the Primitive condition of this Parliament , upon the death or disabling of any Member , the Keeper or Speaker gave his Warrant for a nevv Writ , that no place might vvant some to represent them . 2. Former Ages never knevv that vvay , or rather counted it dishonest , as vvell as unjust and illegal , for a fevv , and those not the chief of the House of Commons , to make use of a mercenary force of inva●e●al and Apostate Englishmen , to possesse themselves of the Legislative Povver , to the injurie of the vvhole Parliament , ( vvhich should consist of above six hundred ) and all the people . 3. The Major part of the House of Commons , vvhich are excluded by force , are so used , for over-voting the House from the minor part ; Whereas till this Iron Age ( though bin for dissenting in the House ) never any that attended , vvere hindred from sitting , or excluded from free voting . 4. If those fevv vvho sit , had convenient modestie , they vvould not think the vvisdom of these three Kingdoms vvere under their Hoods , vvhen there are so many and vvise Personages in them nor Judge their own forcible exclusion by the Arm ●●min●ions , vvhen so fevv , vvhen themselves by force seclude and eject so many .
