we can do no less then joyn with our allies in opposing the designs of the french king , as the disturber of the peace , and the common enemy of the christian world. and besides the obligations we lie under by treaties with our allies , which are a sufficient justification of us for taking up arms at this time , since they have called upon us so to do , the many injuries done to us and to our subjects , without any reparation , by the french king , are such , that ( however of late years they were not taken notice of , for reasons well known to the world , nevertheless ) we will not pass them over without a publick and just resentment of such outrages . it is not long since the french took licences from the english governor of new-found-land , to fish in the seas upon that coast , and paid a tribute for such licences , as an acknowledgment of the sole right of the crown of england to that is ; land ; and yet of late , the encroachments of the french upon our said island , and our subjects trade and fishery , have been more like the invasions of an enemy , then becoming friends , who enjoy'd the advantages of that trade only by permission . but that the french king should invade our charibbee islands , and possess himself of our territories of the province of new-york and of hudsons-bay in a hostile manner , seizing our forts , burning our subjects houses , and enriching his people with the spoil of their goods and merchandizes , detaining some of our subjects under the hardship of imprisonment , causing others to be inhumanely kill'd , and driving the rest to sea in a small vessel , without food and necessaries to support them , are actions not becoming even an enemy ; and yet he was so far from declaring himself so , that at that very time he was negotiating here in england by his ministers , a treaty of neutrality and good correspondence in america . the proceedings of the french king against our subjects in europe are so notorious , that we shall not need to enlarge upon them ; his countenancing the seizure of english ships by french privateers , forbidding the importation of great part of the product and manufactures of our kingdom , and imposing exorbitant customs upon the rest , notwithstanding the vast advantage he and the french nation reap by their commerce with england , are sufficient evidences of his designs to destroy the trade , and consequently to ruine the navigation , upon which the wealth and safety of this nation very much depends . the right of the flag , inherent in the crown of england , has been disputed by his orders in violation of our sovereignty of the narrow seas , which in all ages has been asserted by our predecessors , and we are resolv'd to maintain for the honour of our crown , and of the english nation . but that which must nearly touch us , is his unchristian prosecution of many of our english protestant subjects in france , for matters of religion , contrary to the law of nations , and express treaties , forcing them to abjure their religion by strange and unusual cruelties , and imprisoning some of the masters and seamen of our merchant ships , and condemning others to the gallies , upon pretence of having on board , either some of his own miserable protestant subjects , or their effects ; and lastly , as he has for some years last past , endeavoured by insinuations and promises of assistance , to overthrow the government of england ; so now by open and violent methods , and the actual invasion of our kingdom of ireland , in support of our subjects in arms , and in rebellion against us , he is promoting the utter extirpation of our good and loyal subjects in that our kingdom . being therefore thus necessitated to take up arms , and relying on the help of almighty god in our just undertaking , we have thought fit to declare , and do hereby declare war against the french king , and that we will in conjunction with our allies , vigorously prosecute the same by sea and land ( since he hath so unrighteously begun it ) being assured of the hearty concurrence and assistance of our subjects in support of so good a cause ; hereby willing and requiring our general of our forces , our commissioners for executing the office of high admiral , our lieutenants of our several counties , governours of our forts and garisons , and all other officers and soldiers under them , by sea and land , to do , and execute all acts of hostility in the prosecution of this war against the french king , his vassals and subjects , and to oppose their attempts , willing and requiring all our subjects to take notice of the same , whom we henceforth strictly forbid to hold any correspondence or communication with the said french king , or his subjects ; and because there are remaining in our kingdoms many of the subjects of the french king ; we do declare and give our royal word , that all such of the french nation as shall demean themselves dutifully towards us , and not correspond with our enemies , shall be safe in their persons and estates , and free from all molestation and trouble of any kind . given at our court at hampton-court the seventh day of may , . in the first year of our reign . god save king william and queen mary . london , printed by charles bill and thomas newcomb , printers to the king and queen's most excellent majesties . . william and mary ... whereas we are credibly informed ... that on monday, the eleventh day of september last the greatest part of the parish church of towyn ... fell down and sunk ... we ... have given and granted ... full power, licence and authority to ask, gather ... and take the alms and charitable benevolence of our loving subjects ... england and wales. sovereign ( - : william and mary) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

and being thereunto moved by the pious address of the commons in parliament assembled , we have thought fit , by the advice of our privy council , to issue this our royal proclamation , and do declare our royal purpose and resolution to discountenance and punish all manner of vice , immorality and prophanenss in all persons from the highest to the lowest degree within this our realm , and particularly in such who are imployed near our royal person ; and that for the greater incouragement of religion and morality , we will , upon all occasions distinguish men of piety and virtue by marks of our royal favour . and we do expect that all persons of honour , or in place of authority , will to their utmost contribute to the discountenancing men of dissolute and debauched lives , that they being reduced to shame and contempt , may be enforced the sooner to reform their ill habits and practices , that the displeasure of good men towards them , may supply what the laws ( it may be ) cannot wholly prevent . and for the more effectual reforming these men , who are a discredit to our kingdom , our further pleasure is , and we do hereby strictly charge and command all our iudges , mayors , sheriffs , iustices of the peace , and all other our officers and ministers , both ecclesiastical and civil , and other our subjects , whom it may concern , to be very vigilant and strict in the discovery and the effectual prosecution and punishment of all persons who shall be guilty of excessive drinking , blasphemy , prophane swearing and curling , lewdness , prophanation of the lords day , or other dissolute , immoral or disorderly practices , as they will answer it to almighty god , and upon pain of our highest displeasure . and for the more effectual proceedings herein , we do hereby direct and command our iudges of assizes and iustices of peace , to give strict charges at the respective assizes and sessions , for the due prosecution and punishment of all persons that shall presume to offend in any the kinds aforesaid , and also of all persons that , contrary to their duty , shall be remiss or negligent in putting the said laws in execution , and that they do at their respective assizes and quarter sessions of the peace , cause this our proclamation to be pulickly read in open court immediately before the charge is given . and we do hereby further charge and command every minister in his respective parish or chapel , to read or cause to be read this our proclamation , at least four times in every year , immediately after divine service , and to incite and stir up their respective auditories to the practice of piety and virtue , and the avoiding of all immorality and prophaneness . and to the end that all vice and debauchery may be prevented , and religion and virtue practised by all officers , private soldiers , mariners or others , who are imployed in our service , either by sea or land , we do hereby strictly charge and command all our commanders and officers whatsoever , that they do take care to avoid all prophaneness , debauchery and other immoralities , and that by the piety and virtue of their own lives and conversations they do set good examples to all such as are under their authority , and likewise to take care and inspect the behaviour and manners of all such as are under them , and to punish all those who shall be guilty of any the offences aforesaid . and whereas several wicked and prophane persons have presumed to print and publish several pernicious books and pamphlets , which contain in them impious doctrines against the holy trinity and other fundamental articles of our faith , tending to the subversion of the christian religion , therefore for the punishing the authors and publishers thereof , and for the preventing such impious books and pamphlets being published or printed for the future , we do hereby strictly charge and prohibit all persons that they do not presume to write , print or publish any such pernicious books or pamphlets , under the pain of incurring our high displeasure , and of being punished according to the utmost severity of the law. and we do hereby strictly charge and require all our loving subjects to discover and apprehend such person and persons whom they shall know to be the authors or publishers of any such books or pamphlets , and to bring them before some iustice of peace or chief magistrate , in order that they may be proceeded against according to law. given at our court at kensington the four and twentieth day of february , . in the tenth year of our reign . god save the king . london , printed by charles bill , and the executrix of thomas newcomb , deceas'd , printers to the king 's most excellent majesty . m dc xcix . the prince of orange his speech to the citizens of london. william iii, king of england, - . approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

i do notwithstanding find them unanimously bent to maintain and prosecute , to the utmost , the cause i have now undertaken . and though by several declarations , i have ( as i believe ) sufficiently satisfied both you , and all england , of the sincerity , as well as the necessity of these my actions and designs . i shall not , however , think it unnecessary , or superfluous , briefly to repeat and summ up some things which may serve you for satisfaction , as to matters past , as well as encouragement for the future . that england , and the vnited provinces , are the two main pillars , whereon all the reformed churches of europe seem to depend , is to us rather the envy than the doubt of our adversaries now at the court of rome , and lately of england , not only to weaken , but wholly to root out even the name of protestant , each man 's private diurnal , as well as our publick annals , do sufficiently testifie ; nor is the breach made by the restless malice of our enemies ( urg'd by a late opportunity ) in the laws and liberties of these kingdoms , so effectually made up as to free us from the suspicion and fear of a more dangerous relapse . what therefore remains , but that we apply such remedies , as shall not only for the present ease us , but for the future secure us . lenitives have , to our cost , been too long thrown away on the canker'd hearts of our irreconcilable enemies . god's providence , not our swords , proving the only antidote against their poyson . the present persecution of the poor protestants in ireland , is but as a prologue to their intended miseries , had it not by providence been timely prevented : nor did the laws and liberties of the people of england , seem a sufficient sacrifice to their hungry zeal for the present , unless by methods as sophistical as their doctrine , they might bind and secure them to posterity . we have seen the corruption of judges ( those betrayers of their country , ) the oppression of the bishops , ( those pillars of the church , ) the abuses of most of the great offices ( civil and military , ) private cabals , and publick grievances ; and all to promote a faction as uneasie , as contrary to all moral conversation . let us therefore , gentlemen and fellow soldiers , with courage and constancy , oppose and disarm these common disturbers of the peace of christendome . if our adversaries boast of french supplies , and irish succours ( while you are resolv'd and united in your hearts : ) i value them not ; i fear not the strength of the one ; and , i thank god , can laugh at the malice of the other . let us vigorously tread that path , which god almighty seems to have peculiarly mark'd out for us . if there be any of you , that either distrust your own courages , or are dissatisfied with the cause you have undertaken , i freely give you liberty , and fase conduct to your several abodes . i will , my self , be both the spectator and rewarder of all your actions ; resolving to be the personal example of your courage and resolution . i exhort and command you to be dutiful and obedient to your several respective commanders . to forbear , on pain of death , all fraud or pillages of the citizens ; and to be careful and vigilant in your several posts ; and , as i believe , you are sufficiently satisfied with the justice of our cause ; so , by the help of god , which i chiefly exhort you constantly to pray for ) i doubt not of a happy and speedy ●uccess , as in other places , so in london . london , printed for g. r. . by the king and queen, a proclamation for encouraging seamen and mariners to enter themselves on their majesties ships of war england and wales. sovereign ( - : william and mary) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

so we take this occasion to renew these assurances , being resolved to do all we can for the support and strengthning of it ; preserving withal the liberty of conscience to all our other protestant subjects which by our laws they now enjoy . and because the welfare , peace and honour of this church depends so much upon all persons faithfully doing their duties in their several places and functions , we therefore first of all charge and require you the bishops of this our church , to apply your selves with all diligence and zeal to the duties of your episcopal function , according to the word of god , the orders of this church , and the laws of this our realm . more especially as to ordination of ministers , we require you to use all possible care and strictness , in examining and enquiring into the lives and learning of such persons as desire to be admitted into holy orders , and herein constantly to observe the * canons relating thereunto , the neglect whereof we shall strictly enquire into , and take care that it be punished according to law. we also charge and require you to keep a strict watch over all the clergy in your respective diocesses , to see that they be duly resident upon their livings according to the laws in that case provided ; and that there they be constant and diligent in their duties , performing the publick offices of worship gravely and devoutly , preaching the word of god plainly and practically , without running into needless controversies , and administring the holy sacraments frequently , with that reverence which is due to the institutions of christ ; also catechizing the youth , visiting the sick and distressed , and doing all such things in their stations as may tend to promote the honour of god and true religion , together with peace and charity among all their neighbours ; themselves giving a good example to their flock , by walking before them in all holy conversation and godliness . and the more effectually to prevent the scandals that may arise by any disorders in the lives of those who ought to be examples to others , you shall admonish them religiously to observe the * canon entitled , sober conversation required in ministers . and you shall severely and impartially proceed by ecclesiastical censures , against all such of your clergy as shall be found guilty of any notorious violation of this or any other law or canon relating to their duty . and for the better encouragement of deserving men , as we intend to make it a rule to our self , so we also require it of you , in disposing of church preferments , to have a special regard to such persons as by their piety , learning , diligence and peaceableness , do most promote the honour of god , and the edification of his church . and because , as our duty requires , we most earnestly desire and shall endeavour a general reformation of the lives and manners of all our subjects , as being that which must establish our throne , and secure to our people their religion , happiness and peace ; all which seem to be in great danger at this time , by reason of that overflowing of vice , which is too notorious in this as well as other neighbouring nations . we therefore require you to order all the clergy to preach frequently against those particular sins and vices which are most prevailing in this realm ;

and scarce one good act for the benefit of the subject obtain'd without the tacking of a money-bill at the end of it . nay , and when the english purses would not drain fast enough , we have wretchedly truck'd to france to help out the count . but not to rake into the ashes of one , or the misfortune of the other , what between the effeminacy of one reign , and the bigotry of the other , what unaccountable summs , and as unaccountably consumed , have been expended , and preverted directly contrary to the intent of the original donation , the great end they were given for ? but this long soveraign fault amended , ( not to mention all the other long blemishes in the imperial scutcheon , washt off in the person of our present truly gracious king , ) as vast a revenue as the chimney-money may be , yet considering the iniquity and partiality of it , together with the cryes against it , ( for never so uneven a tax was formed . ) he considers the delight of disburthening his people above the gratification of filling his exchequer : and as weighty a crown jewel as it is , he thinks his diadem ( on that only store ) shines brighter , though not richer , without it . and undoubtedly this one unprecedented act of royal grace , attended with all the circumstances of such a voluntary tender , ( even singly and separate from that unbounded goodness , and those accumulated glories we have so large a future prospect of , from so promising a reign , ) is sufficient of it self alone to stand a regal monument . and now my friends and neighbours , after a hearty farewel to your chimney-money , listen to some few comforts in store for you . the poor country wife may now boyl her childs milk , or her husbands gruel , without endangering the consiscation of her skillet or crock , for the use of a chimney to warm it in . the poor labourer , that out of his weeks wages can arrive to a sabbath ▪ days-joint of meat , need not fear the loss of his spit on monday , for eating of roast-meat on sunday ;

and being thereunto moved by the pious address of the commons in parliament assembled , we have thought fit , by the advice of our privy council , to issue this our royal proclamation , and do declare our royal purpose and resolution to discountenance and punish all manner of vice , immorality and prophaneness in all persons from the highest to the lowest degreé within this our realm , and particularly in such who are imployed near our royal person ; and that for the greater incouragement of religion and morality , we will , upon all occasions , distinguish men of piety and virtue by marks of our royal favour . and we do expect that all persons of honour or in place of authority , will to their utmost contribute to the discountenancing men of dissolute and debauched lives , that they being reduced to shame and contempt may be enforced the sooner to reform their ill habits and practices , that the displeasure of good men towards them may supply what the laws ( it may be ) cannot wholly prevent . and for the more effectual reforming these men , who are a discredit to our kingdom , our further pleasure is , and we do hereby strictly charge and command all our iudges , mayors , sheriffs , iustices of the peace , and all other our officers and ministers , both ecclesiastical and civil , and other our subjects , whom it may concern , to be very vigilant and strict in the discovery and the effectual prosecution and punishment of all persons who shall be guilty of excessive drinking , blasphemy , prophane swearing and cursing , lewdness , prophanation of the lords day , or other dissolute , immoral or disorderly practices , as they will answer it to almighty god , and upon pain of our highest displeasure . and for the more effectual proceedings herein , we do hereby direct and command our iudges of assizes and iustices of peace , to give strict charges at the respective assizes and sessions , for the due prosecution and punishment of all persons that shall presume to offend in any the kinds aforesaid , and also of all persons that , contrary to their duty , shall be remiss or negligent in putting the said laws in execution , and that they do at their respective assizes and quarter sessions of the peace , cause this our proclamation to be publickly read in open court immediately before the charge is given . and we do hereby further charge and command every minister in his respective parish or chapel , to read or cause to be read this our proclamation , at least four times in every year , immediately after divine service , and to incite and stir up their respective auditories to the practice of piety and virtue , and the avoiding of all immorality and prophaneness . and to the end that all vice and debauchery may be prevented , and religion and virtue practised by all officers , private soldiers , mariners or others , who are imployed in our service , either by sea or land , we do hereby strictly charge and command all our commanders and officers whatsoever , that they do take care to avoid all prophaneness , debauchery and other immoralities , and that by the piety and virtue of their own lives and conversations they do set good examples to all such as are under their authority , and likewise to take care and inspect the behaviour and manners of all such as are under them , and to punish all those who shall be guilty of any the offences aforesaid . and whereas several wicked and prophane persons have presumed to print and publish several pernicious books and pamphlets , which contain in them impious doctrines against the holy trinity and other fundamental articles of our faith , tending to the subversion of the christian religion , therefore for the punishing the authors and publishers thereof , and for the preventing such impious books and pamphlets being published or printed for the future , we do hereby strictly charge and prohibit all persons that they do not presume to write , print or publish any such pernicious books or pamphlets under the pain of incurring our high displeasure , and of being punished according to the utmost severity of the law. and we do hereby strictly charge and require all our loving subjects to discover and apprehend such person and persons whom they shall know to be the authors or publishers of any such books or pamphlets , and to bring them before some iustice of peace or chief magistrate , in order that they may be proceéded against according to law. given at our court at kensington the four and twentieth day of february , . in the tenth year of our reign . god save the king. london , printed by charles bill , and the executrix of thomas newcomb , deceas'd , printers to the kings most excellent majesty . . by the king and queen, a proclamation for the discovery and apprehending of highway men and robbers, and for a reward to the discoverers marie r. england and wales. sovereign ( - : william and mary) approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

but were not religion the most justifiable cause , it would not be made the most specious pretence . and your majesty has always shewn too uninterested a sense of religion , to doubt the just effects of it in one whose practices have , i hope , never given the world cause to censure his real conviction of it ; or his backwardness to perform what his honour and conscience prompt him to ; how then can i longer disguise my just concern for that religion , in which i have been so happily educated , which my judgment throughly convinces me to be the best ; and for the support of which i am so highly interested in my native country ; and is not england now , by the most endearing tye become so . whilst the restless spirits of the enemies of the reformed religion , back'd by the cruel zeal , and prevailing power of france , justly alarm and unite all the protestant princes of christendom , and engage them in so vast an expence for the support of it , can i act so degenerous and mean a part , as to deny my concurrence to such worthy endeavours for disabusing of your majesty by the reinforcement of those laws , and establishment of that government , on which alone depends the well-being of your majesty , and of the protestant religion in europe . this , sir , is that irresistible and only cause that cou'd come in competition with my duty and obligations to your majesty , and be able to tear me from you , whilst the same affectionate desire of serving you continues in me . could i'secure your person by the hazard of my life , i should think it could not be better employed : and wou'd to god , these your distracted kingdoms might yet receive that satisfactory compliance from your majesty in all their justifiable pretensions , as might upon the only sure foundation , that of the love and interest of your subjects , establish your government , and as strongly unite the hearts of all your subjects to you , as is that of , sir , your majesties most humble , and most obedient son and servant the lord churchill's letter to the king . sir , since men are seldom inspected of sincerity when they act contrary to their interests ; and though my dutiful behaviour to your majesty in the worst of times , ( for which i acknowledge my poor services much over-paid ) may not be sufficient to incline you to a charitable interpretation of my actions , yet i hope , the great advantage i enjoy under your majesty , which i can never expect in any other change of government , may reasonably convince your majesty and the world , that i am acted by a higher principle , when i offer that violence to my inclination , and interest , as to desert your majesty at a time when your affairs seem to challenge the strictest obedience from all your subjects , much more from one who lies under the greatest personal obligations imaginable to your majesty . this , sir , could proceed from nothing but the inviolable dictates of my consciene , and necessary concern for my religion ( which no good man can oppose ) and with which i am instructed , nothing ought to come in competition ; heaven knows with what partiality my dutiful opinion of your majesty hath hitherto represented those unhappy designs , which inconsiderate and self-interest men have framed against your majesty's true interest and the protestant religion . but as i can no longer joyn with such to give a pretence by conquest to bring them to effect , so will i always with the hazard of my life and fortune ( so much your majesty's due ) endeavour to preserve your royal person and lawful rights with all the tender concern and dutiful respect that becomes , sir , your majesty's most dutiful and most obliged subject and servant . his highness the prince of orange his speech to the scots lords and gentlemen with their address, and his highness his answer. with a true account of what past at their meeting in the council-chamber at whitehall, jan. / . his highness the prince of orange having caused advertise such of the scots lords and gentlemen, as were in town, met them in a room at st. james's, upon monday the seventh of january at three of the clock in the afternoon, and had this speech to them. william iii, king of england, - . approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

i do notwithstanding find them unanimously bent to maintain and prosecute , to the utmost , the cause i have now undertaken . and though by several declarations , i have ( as i believe ) sufficiently satisfied both you , and all england , of the sincerity , as well as the necessity of these my actions and designs . i shall not , however , think it unnecessary , or superfluous , briefly to repeat and summ up some things which may serve you for satisfaction , as to matters past , as well as encouragement for the future . that england , and the vnited provinces , are the two main pillars , whereon all the reformed churches of europe seem to depend , is to us rather the envy than the doubt of our adversaries now at the court of rome , and lately of england , not only to weaken , but wholly to root out even the name of protestant , each man 's private diurnal , as well as our publick annals , do sufficiently testifie ; nor is that breach made by the restless malice of our enemies ( urg'd by a late opportunity ) in the laws and liberties of these kingdoms , so effectually made up as to free us from the suspicion and fear of a more dangerous relapse . what therefore remains , but that we apply such remedies , as shall not only for the present ease us , but for the future secure us . lenitives have , to our cost , been too long thrown away on the canker'd hearts of our irreconcilable enemies . god's providence , not our swords , proving the only antidote against their poyson . the present persecution of the poor protestants in ireland , is but as a prologue to their intended miseries , had it not by providence been timely prevented : nor did the laws and liberties of the people of england , seem a sufficient sacrifice to their hungery zeal for the present , unless by methods as sophistical as their doctrine , they might bind and secure them to posterity . we have seen the corruption of judges ( those betrayers of their country , ) the oppression of the bishops ( those pillars of the church , ) the abuses of most of the great offices ( civil and military , ) private cabals , and publick grievances ; and all to promote a faction as uneasie , as contrary to all moral conversation . let us therefore , gentlemen and fellow soldiers , with courage and constancy , oppose and disarm these common disturbers of the peace of christendome . if our adversaries boast of french supplies , and irish succours ( while you are resolv'd and united in your hearts : ) i value them not ; i fear not the strength of the one ; and , i thank god , can laugh at the malice of the other . let us vigorously tread that path , which god almighty seems to have peculiarly mark'd out for us . if there be any of you that either distrust your own courages , or are dissatisfied with the cause you have undertaken , i freely give you liberty and safe conduct to your several abodes . i will my self , be both the spectator and rewarder of all your actions ; resolving to be the personal example of your courage and resolution i exhort and command you to be dutiful and obedient to your several respective commanders to forbear , on pain , of death , all fraud or pillages on the citizens ; and to be careful and vigilant in your respective posts ; and , as i believe , you are sufficiently satisfied with the justice of our cause ; so , by the help of god , ( which i chiefly exhort you constantly to pray for ) i doubt not of a happy and speedy success , as in other places , so in london . london , printed for g.r. . speech of the right reverend father in god, anthony lord bishop of meath, when the clergy waited on his majesty at his camp nigh dublin, july , : together with his majesty's most gracious answer. dopping, anthony, - . approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

and the free exercise of our religion for some time interrupted . a request of this nature might perhaps look like a distrust of your majesties care of us , and seem to contradict the glorious design of your coming into this kingdom . we are sensible that the generous end of your majesties presence is to rescue us from the oppressions and tyranny of popery ; and are well assured , that the same paternal affection , that moved your majesty to pity our distress , will still protect us now we are deliver'd . we come rather to bless god as the author of our deliverance , and your majesty as the happy instrument raised up by his providence for the effecting it ; to express our gratitude and duty to your majesty , who has a double title to our services , not only as our king , but as our gracious benefactor and deliverer : to pray for the success of your majesty's forces , for the consummation of that good work that you have with so much personal hazard undertaken : that you may carry your victorious arms into other countries , where the cries and the groans , and the oppressions of the afflicted protestants , are as great as they have been here ; that god would be an helmet of salvation to you in the day of battle , and deal with you as he did with nebuchadnezzar , when he promis'd him the kingdom of egypt for his hard service against tyrus : may he likewise recompense your hard labour in this kingdom , with the addition of another that is far more valuable : and may you prove as happy and successful an instrument in the succouring of others , as you have been of the poor afflicted people of this kingdom . his majesty's answer . i am come hither to deliver you from the tyranny of popery and slavery , to protect the protestant religion , and restore you to your liberties and properties ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng great britain -- history -- revolution of -- sources -- early works to . - tcp assigned for keying and markup - spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images - tcp staff (michigan) sampled and proofread - mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion the declaration of his highnes william henry , by the grace of god prince of orange , &c. of the reasons inducing him to appear in armes in the kingdome of england , for preserving of the protestant religion , and for restoring the lawes and liberties of england , scotland and ireland . here unto are added the letters of the aforesaid his illustrious highnesse to the sea and land forces of england , together with the prayer for the present expedition . ie maintiendray prot. religion and liberty printed at the hague by arnold leers , bookseller at the signe of plutarch . by speciall order of his highnesse , . with priviledge of the great and mighty the states of holland and westfriesland . the declaration of his highnes william henry , by the grace of god prince of orange , &c. of the reasons inducing him , to appear in armes in the kingdome of england . it is both certain and evident to all men , that the publike peace and happines of any state or kingdome , can not be preserved , where the lawes , liberties and customes established by the lawfull authority in it , are openly transgressed and annulled : more especially where the alteration of religion is endeavoured , and that a religion which is contrary to law is endeavoured to be introduced : upon which those who are most immediatly concerned in it , are indispensably bound to endeavour to preserve and maintain the established lawes , liberties and customes : and above all the religion and worship of god , that is established among them ; and to take such an effectuall care , that the inhabitants of the said state or kingdome , may neither be deprived of their religion nor of their civill rights . vvhich is so much the more necessary because the greatnes and security both of kings royall families , and of all such as are in authority , as well as the happines of their subjects and people , depend in a most especiall manner upon the exact observation and maintenance of these their lawes , liberties and customes . upon these grounds it is , that wee cannot any longer forbear to declare that to our great regret wee see that those councellours , who have now the chiefe credit with the king , have overturned the religion , lawes and liberties of those realmes , and subjected them in all things relating to their consciences , liberties and properties , to arbitrary government : and that not only by secret and indirect waies , but in an open and undisguised manner . those evill councellours for the advancing and colouring this with some plausible pretexts , did invent and set on foot the kings dispencing power , by vertue of which , they pretend that according to law , he can suspend and dispence with the execution of the lawes , that have been enacted by the authority , of the king and parliament , for the security and happines of the subject , and so have rendered those lawes of no effect : tho there is nothing more certain , then that as no lawes can be made , but by the joint concurrence of king and parliament , so likewise lawes so enacted , which secure-the publike peace , and safety of the nation , and the lives and liberties of every subject in it , can not be repealed or suspended but by the same authority . for tho the king may pardon the punishment , that a transgressour has incurred , and to which he is condemned , as in the cases of treason or felony ; yet it can not be with any colour of reason inferred from thence , that the king can entirely suspend the execution of those lawes , relating to treason or felony : unlesse it is pretended , that he is clothed with a despotick and arbitrary power , and that the lives , liberties , honours and estates of the subjects , depend wholly on his good will and pleasure , and are entirely subject to him ; which must infallibly follow on the kings having a power to suspend the execution of the lawes , and to dispence with them . those evill councellours , in order to the giving some credit to this strange and execrable maxime , have so conducted the matter , that they have obtained a sentence from the judges , declaring that this dispencing power is a right belonging to the crown ; as if it were in the power of the twelve judges to offer up the lawes , rights and liberties , of the whole nation , to the king , to be disposed of by him arbitrarily and at his pleasure and expressly contrary to lawes enacted for the security of the subjects . in order to the obtaining this judgment , those evill councellours did before hand examine secretly the opinion of the judges , and procured such of them , as could not in conscience concurre in so pernicious a sentence , to be turned out , and others to be substituted in their rooms till by the changes which were made , in the courts of judicature , they at last obtained that judgment . and they have raised some to those trusts , who make open profession of the popish religion , tho those are by law rendred incapable all such employments . it is also manifest and notorious , that as his majestie was , upon his coming to the crown , received and acknowledged by all the subjects of england , scotland and ireland , as their king without the least opposition , tho he made then open profession of the popish religion so he did then promise , and solemnly swear at his coronation , that he would maintain his subjects , in the free enjoyment of their lawes , rights and liberties , and in particular , that he would maintain the church of england as it was established by law : it is likewise certain , that there have been at diverse and sundry times , severall lawes enacted for the preservation of those rights and liberties , and of the protestant religion : and among other securities , it has been enacted that all persons whatsoever , that are advanced to any ecclesiasticall dignity , or to bear office in either university , as likewise all other that should be put in any imployment , civill or military , should declare that they were not papists , but were of the protestant religion , and that by their taking of the oaths of allegange and supreamacy and the test , yet these evill councellours have in effect annulled and abolished all those lawes , both with relation to ecclesiasticall and civill employments . in order to ecclesiasticall dignities and offices they have not only without any colour of law , but against most expresse lawes to the contrary , set up a commission of a certain number of persons , to whom they have committed the cognisance and direction of all ecclesiasticall matters : in the which commission there has been and still is , one of his majesties ministers of state , who makes now publike profession of the popish religion , and who at the time of his first professing it , declared that for a great while before , he had beleeved that to be the only true religion . by all this , the deplorable state to which the protestant religion is reduced is apparent , since the affairs of the church of england , are now put into the hands of persons , who have accepted of a commission that is manifesty illegal ; and who have executed it contrary to all law ; and that now one of their chiefe members has abjured the protestant religion and declared himselfe a papist ; by which he is become incapable of holding any publike imployment : the said commissioners have hitherto given such proof , of their submission to the directions given them , that there is no reason to doubt , but they will still continue to promote all such designs as will be most aggreable to them . and those evill councellours take care ta raise none to any ecclesiasticall dignities , but persons that have no zeal for the protestant religion , and that now hide their un concernednes for it , under the specious pretence of moderation . the said commissioners have suspended the bishop of london , only because he refused to obey an order , that was sent him to suspend a worthy divine , without so much as citing him before him , to make his own defence , or observing the common formes of processe . they have turned out a president , chosen by the fellows of magdalen colledge , and afterwards all the fellows of that colledge , without so much as citing them before any court that could take legall cognissance of that affair ; or obtaining any sentence against them by a competent judge . and the only reason that was given for turning them out , was their refusing to choose for their president ; a person that was recommended to them , by the instigation of those evill councellours ; tho the right of a free election belonged undoubtedly to them . but they were turned out of their freeholds , contrary to law , and to that expresse provision in the magna chartae ; that no man shall loose life or goods , but by the law of the land . and now these evill councellours have put the said colledge wholly into the hands of popists , tho as is abovesaid , they are incapable of all such employments , both by the law of the land , and the statutes of the colledge . these commissioners have also cited before them all the chancellours and archdeacons of england , requiring them to certifie to them the names of all such clergymen , as have read the kings declaration for liberty of conscience , and of such as have not read it : without considering that the reading of it was not enjoined the clergy , by the bishops , who are their ordinaries . the illegality and incompetency of the said court of the ecclesiasticall commissioners was so notoriously known , and it did so evidently appear that it tended to the subversion of the protestant religion , that the most reverend father in god , william archbishop of canterbury primate and metropolitan of all england , seeing that it was raised for no other end but to oppresse such persons as were of eminent vertue , learning and piety , refused to sit or to concurre in it . and tho there are many expresse lawes against all churches or chappell 's , for the exercise of the popish religion , and also against all monasteries and convents , and more particularly against the order of the iesuites , yet those evill councellours have procured orders for the building of severall churches and chappels , for the exercise of that religion : they have also procured diverse monasteries to be erected , and in contempt of the law they have not only set up severall colledges of iesuites , in diverse places , for the corrupting of the youth , but have raised up one of the order , to be a privy councellour and a minister of state. by all which they doe evidently shew , that they are restrained by no rules or law whatsoever ; but that they have subjected the honours and estates of the subjects , and the establisht religion to a despotick power and to arbitrary government : in all which they are served and seconded by those ecclesiastical commissioners . they have also followed the same methods with relation to civill affairs : for they have procured orders to examine all lords lieutenants , deputy lieutenants , sheriffs , justices of peace and all others that were in any publike imployment , if they would concurre with the king in the repeal of the test and penal lawes : and all such , whose consciences did not suffer them to comply with their designes , were turned out ; and others were put in their places , who they beleeved would be more compliant to them in their designes of defeating the intent and execution of those lawes , which had been made with so much care and caution for the security of the protestant religion . and in many of these places they have put professed papists , tho the law has disabled them , and warranted the subjects not to have any regard to their orders . they have also invaded the priviledges , and seised on the charters of most of those towns that have a right to be represented by their burgesses in parliament : and have procured surrenders to be made of them , by which the magistrates in them have delivered up all their rights and priveledges , to be disposed of at the pleasure of those evill councellours : who have thereupon , placed new magistrates in those towns , such as they can most entirely confide in : and in many of them they have put popish magistrates , notwithstanding the incapacities under which the law has put them . and whereas no nation whatsoever can subsist without the administration of good and impartiall justice , upon which mens lives , liberties , honours and estates , doe depend ; those evill councellours have subjected these to an arbitrary and despotick power : in the most important affairs they have studied to discover before hand , the opinions of the judges ; and have turned out such , as they found would not conform themselves to their intentions : and have put others in their places , of whom they were more assured , without having any regard to their abilities . and they have not stuck to raise even professed papists to the courts of judicature , notwithstanding their incapacity by law , and that no regard is due to any sentences flowing from them . they have carried this so far , as to deprive such judges , who in the common administration of justice , shewed that they were governed by their consciences , and not by the directions which the others gave them . by which it is apparent that they designe to render themselves the absolute masters of the lives , honours and estates of the subjects , of what rank or dignity soever they may be : and that without having any regard either to the equity of the cause , or to the consciences of the judges , whom they will have to submit in all things to their own will and pleasure : hoping by such waies to intimidate those who are yet in imployment , as also such others , as they shall think fit , to put in the rooms of those whom they have turned out ; and to make them see , what they must look for , if they should at any time act in the least contrary to their good liking , and that no failings of that kind are pardoned in any persons whatsoever . a great deale of blood has been shed in many places of the kingdome , by judges governed by those evill councellours , against all the rules and forms of law ; without so much as suffering the persons that were accused to plead in their own defence . they have also by putting the administration of justice in the hands of papists , brought all the matters of civill justice into great uncertainties : with how much exactnes and justice soever that these sentences may have been given . for since the lawes of the land doe not only exclude papists from all places of judicature , but have put them under an incapacity , none are bound to acknowledge or to obey their judgements , and all sentences given by them , are null and void of themselves : so that all persons who have been cast in trialls before such popish judges , may justly look on their pretended sentences , as having no more force then the sentences of any private and unauthorised person whatsoever . so deplorable is the case of the subjects , who are obliged to answer to such judges , that must in all things stick to the rules which are set them by those evill councellours , who as they raised them up to those imployments , so can turn them out of them at pleasure ; and who can never be esteemed lawfull judges ; so that all their sentences are in the construction of the law , of no force and efficacy . they have likewise disposed of all military imployments , in the same manner : for tho the lawes have not only excluded papists from all such imployments , but have in particular provided that they should be disarmed ; yet they in contempt of these lawes , have not only armed the papists , but have likewise raised them up to the greatest military trusts both by sea and land , and that strangers as well as natives , and irish as well as english , that so by those means having rendred themselves masters both of the affairs of the church , of the government of the nation , and of the course of justice , and subjected them all to a despotick and arbitrary power , they might be in a capacity to maintain and execute their wicked designs by the assistance of the army , and thereby to enslave the nation . the dismall effects of this subversion of the established religion , lawes and liberties in england appear more evidently to us , by what wee see done in ireland , where the whole government is put in the hands of papists , and where all the protestant inhabitants are under the daily fears of what may be justly apprehended from the arbitrary power which is set up there : which has made great numbers of them , leave that kingdome and abandon their estates in it , remembring well that cruell and bloody massacre which fell out in that island in the year . those evill councellours have also prevailed with the king to declare in scotland that he is clothed with absolute power , and that all the subjects are bound to obey him without reserve : upon which he has assumed an arbitrary power , both over the religion and lawes of that kingdome , from all which it is apparent , what is to be looked for in england , as soon as matters are duely prepared for it . those great and insufferable oppressions , and the open contempt of all law , together with the apprehensions of the sad consequences that must certainly follow upon it , have put the subjects under great and just fears ; and have made them look after such lawfull remedies as are allowed of in all nations : yet all has been without effect . and those evill councellours have endeavoured to make all men apprehend the losse of their lives , liberties , honours and estates , if they should goe about to preserve themselves from this oppression , by petitions , representations , or other means authorised by law. thus did they proceed with the archbishop of canterbury , and the other bishops , who having offered a most humble petition to the king , in termes full of respect , and not exceding the number limited by law , in which they set forth in short the reasons for which they could not obey that order , which by the instigation of those evill councellours , was sent them , requiring them to appoint their clergy to read in their churches the declaration for liberty of conscience ; were sent to prison and afterwards brought to a triall , as if they had been guilty of some enormous crime . they were not only obliged to defend themselves in that pursute , but to appear before professed papists , who had not taken the test and by consequence were men whose interest led them to condemne them ; and the judges that gave their opinion in their favours were thereupon turned out . and yet it can not be pretended that any kings ; how great soever their power has been , and how arbitrary and despotick soever they have been in the exercise of it , have ever reckoned it a crime for their subjects to come in all submission and respect , and in a due number , not exceeding the limits of the law , and represent to them the reasons that made it impossible for them to obey their orders . those evill councellours have also treated a peer of the realme , as a criminall , only because he said that the subjects were not bound to obey the orders of a popish justice of peace : tho it is evident , that they being by law rendred incapable of all such trusts , no regard is due to their orders . this being the security which the people have by the law for their lives , liberties , honours and estates , that they are not to be subjected to the arbitrary procedings of papists , that are contrary to law put into any employments civill or military . both wee our selves , and our dearest and most entirely beloved consort , the princesse , have endeavoured to signify in termes full of respect to the king the just and deep regret which all these proceedings have given us ; and in compliance with his majesties desires signified to us , wee declared both by word of mouth , to his envoy , and in writing what our thoughts were touching the repealing of the test and penall lawes ; which wee did in such a manner , that wee hoped wee had proposed an expedient , by which the peace of those kingdomes , and a happy aggreement among the subjects of all persuasions , might have been setled : but those evill councellours have put such ill constructions on these our good intentions , that they have endeavoured to alienate the king more and more from us : as if wee had designed to disturb the quiet and happines of the kingdome . the last and great remedy for all those evills , is the calling of a parliament , for securing the nation against the evill practises of those wicked councellours : but this could not be yet compassed , nor can it be easily brought about . for those men apprehending that a lawfull parliament being once assembled , they would be brought to an account for all their open violations of law , and for their plots and conspiracies against the protestant religion , and the lives and liberties of the subjects ; they have endeavoured under the specious pretence of liberty of conscience , first to sow divisions among protestants , between those of the church of england and the dissenters : the designe being laid to engage protestants , that are all equally concerned to preserve themselves from popish oppression ; into mutuall quarrellings ; that so by these , some advantages might be given to them to bring about their designes ; and that both in the election of the members of parliament , and afterwards in the parliament it selfe . for they see well that if all protestants , could enter into a mutuall good understanding one with another , and concurre together , in the preserving of their religion , it would not be possible for them to compasse their wicked ends . they have also required all persons in the severall counties of england , that either were in any imployment , or were in any considerable esteem , to declare before hand that they would concurre in the repeal of the test and penall lawes ; and that they would give their voices in the elections to parliament , only for such as would concurre in it . such as would not thus preingage themselves were turned out of all imployments ; and others who entred into those engagements were put in their places , many of them being papists : and contrary to the charters and priviledges of those burroughs , that have a right to send burgesses to parliament , they have ordered such regulations to be made , as they thought fit and necessary for assuring themselves of all the members , that are to be chosen by those corporations : and by this means they hope to avoid that punishment which they have deserved ; tho it is apparent that all acts made by popish magistrates are null and void of themselves . so that no parliament can be lawfull , for which the elections and returns are made by popish sheriffs and majors of towns ; and therefore as long as the authority and magistracy is in such hands , it is not possible to have any lawfull parliament . and tho according to the constitution of the english government and immemoriall custome , all elections of parliament men ought to be made with an entire liberty , without any sort of force , or the requiring the electors to choose such persons as shall be named to them , and the persons thus freely elected ought to give their opinions freely upon all matters , that are brought before them , having the good of the nation ever before their eyes , and following in all things the dictates of their conscience , yet now the people of england can not expect a remedy from a free parliament , legally called and chosen , but they may perhaps see one called , in which all elections will be carried by fraud or force , and which will be composed of such persons , of whom those evill councellours hold themselves well assured , in which all things will be carried on according to their direction and interest , without any regard to the good or happines of the nation . which may appear evidently from this , that the same persons tried the members of the last parliament , to gain them to consent to the repeal of the test and penal lawes , and procured that parliament to be dissolved , when they found that they could not , neither by promises nor threatnings , prevail with the members to comply with their wicked designs . but to crown all , there are great and violent presumptions , inducing us to beleeve , that those evill councellours , in order to the carrying on of their ill designes , and to the gaining to themselves the more time for the effecting of them , for the encouraging of their complices , and for the discouraging of all good subjects , have published that the queen hath brought forth a son : tho there have appeared both during the queens pretended bignes , and in the manner in which the birth was managed , so many just and visible grounds of suspicion , that not only wee our selves , but all the good subjects of those kingdomes doe vehemently suspect , that the pretended prince of wales was not born by the queen . and it is notoriously known to all the world , that many both doubted of the queens bignes , and of the birth of the child , and yet there was not any one thing done to satisfy them , or to put an end to their doubts . and since our dearest and most entirely beloved consort , the princesse , and likewise wee our selves , have so great an interest in this matter , and such a right , as all the world knows , to the succession to the crown , since also the english did in the year . when the states generall of the united provinces were invaded in a most injust warre , use their uttermost endeavours to put an end to that warre , and that in opposition to those who were then in the government : and by their so doing , they run the hasard of losing both the favour of the court , and their imployments ; and since the english nation has ever testified a most particular affection and esteem , both to pur dearest consort the princesse , and to our selves , wee cannot excuse our selves from espousing their interests in a matter of such high consequence , and from contributing all that lies in us for the maintaining both of the protestant religion , and of the lawes and liberties of those kingdomes , and for the securing to them the continual enjoyment of all their just rights . to the doing of which wee are most earnestly solicited by a great many lords , both spirituall and temporall , and by many gentlemen and other subjects of all ranks . therefore it is that wee have thought fit , to goe over to england , and to carry over with us a force sufficient by the blessing of god , to defend us from the violence of those evill councellours . and wee being desirous that our intentions in this may be rightly understood , have for this end prepared this declaration , in which as wee have hitherto given a true account of the reasons inducing us to it , so wee now think fit to declare that this our expedition is intended for no other designe , but to have a free and lawfull parliament assembled as soon as is possible : and that in order to this , all the late charters by which the elections of burgesses are limited contrary to the ancient custome , shall be considered as null and of no force : and likewise all magistrates who have been injustly turned out , shall forthwith resume their former imployments , as well as all the borroughs of england shall return again to their ancient prescriptions and charters : and more particularly that the ancient charter of the great and famous city of london , shall again be in force ; and that the writts for the members of parliament shall be addressed to the proper officers , according to law and custome . that also none be suffered to choose or to be chosen members of parliament but such as are qualified by law : and that the members of parliament being thus lawfully chosen they shall meet and sit in full freedome ; that so the two houses may concurre in the preparing of such lawes , as they upon full and free debate , shall judge necessary and convenient , both for the confirming and executing the law concerning the test and such other lawes as are necessary for the security and maintenance of the protestant religion ; as likewise for making such lawes as may establish a good aggréement between the church of england and all protestant dissenters , as also for the covering and securing of all such , who will live peaceably under the government as becomes good subjects , from all persecution upon the account of their religion , even papists themselves not excepted ; and for the doing of all other things , which the two houses of parliament shall find necessary for the peace , honour and safety of the nation , so that there may be no more danger of the nations falling at any time hereafter , under arbitrary government . to this parliament wee will also referre the enquiry into the birth of the pretended prince of wales , and of all things relating to it and to the right of succession . and wee for our part will concurre in every thing , that may procure the peace and happines of the nation , which a free and lawfull parliament shall determine ; since wee have nothing before our eyes in this our undertaking , but the preservation of the protestant religion , the covering of all men from persecution for their consciences , and the securing to the whole nation the free enjoyment of all their lawes , rights and liberties , under a just and legall government . this is the designe that wee have proposed to our selves , in appearing upon this occasion in armes : in the conduct of which , wee will keep the forces under our command , under all the strictnes of martiall discipline : and take a speciall care , that the people of the countries thro which wee must march , shall not suffer by their means : and as soon as the state of the nation will admit of it , wee promise that wee will send back all those forreigne forces , that wee have brought along with us . wee doe therefore hope that all people will judge rightly of us , and approve of these our proceedings : but vvee chiefly rely on the blessing of god for the successe of this our undertaking , in which wee place our whole and only confidence . wee doe in the last place invite and require all persons whatsoever , all the peers of the realme , both spirituall and temporall , all lords lieutenants , deputy lieutenants , and all gentleman , citisens and other commons of all ranks , to come and assist us , in order to the executing of this our designe ; against all such as shall endeavour to oppose us : that so vvee may prevent all those miseries , which must needs follow upon the nations being kept under arbitrary government and slavery : and that all the violences and disorders , which have overturned the whole constitution of the english government , may be fully redressed in a free and legall parliament . and wee doe likewise resolve that as soon as the nations are brought to a state of quier , wee will take care that a parliament shall be called in scotland , for the restoring the ancient constitution of that kingdome , and for bringing the matters of religion to such a setlement , that the people may live easy and happy , and for putting an end to all the injust violences that have been in a course of so many years committed there . wee will also study to bring the kingdome of ireland to such a state , that the setlement there may be religiously observed : and that the protestant and brittish interest there may be secured . and vvee will endeavour by all possible means , to procure such an establishment in all the three kingdomes , that they may all live in a happy union and correspondence together ; and that the protestant religion , and the peace , honour and happines of those nations may be established upon lasting foundations . given under our hand and seal , at our court in the hague , the tenth day of october in the year . william henry , prince of orange . by his highnesses speciall command c : huygens. his highnesses additionall declaration . after wee had prepared and printed this our declaration , wee have understood , that the subverters of the religion and lawes of those kingdomes , hearing of our preparations , to assist the people against them , have begun to retract some of the arbitrary and despotick powers , that they had assumed , and to vacate some of their jnjust judgments and decrees . the sense of their guilt , and the distrust of their force , have induced them to offer the city of london some seeming releefe from their great oppressions : hoping thereby to quiet the people , and to divert them from demanding a secure reestablishment of their religion and lawes under the shelter of our armes : they doe also give out that wee intend to conquer and enslave the nation , and therefore it is that wee have thought fit to adde a few words to our declaration . wee are confident , that no persons can have such hard thought of us , as to imagine that wee have any other designe in this undertaking , then to procure a setlement of the religion and of the liberties and properties of the subjects upon so sure a foundation , that there may be no danger of the nations relapsing into the like miseries at any time hereafter . and as the forces that wee have brought along with us , are utterly disproportioned to that wicked designe of conquering the nation , if wee were capable of intending it , so the great numbers of the principall nobility and gentry , that are men of eminent quality and estates , and persons of known integrity and zeal both for the religion and government of england , many of them being also distinguished by their constant fidelity to the crown , who doe both accompany us in this expedition , and have earnestly solicited us to it , will cover us from all such malicious insinuations : for it is not to be imagined , that either those who have invited us , or those that are already come to assist us , can joyne in a wicked attempt of conquest , to make void their own lawfull titles to their honours , estates and interests : wee are also confident that all men see how litle weight there is to be laid , on all promises and engagments that can be now made : since there has been so litle regard had in time past , to the most solemne pormises . and as that imperfeit redresse that is now offered , is a plain confession of those violations of the government that wee have set forth , so the defectivenes of it is no lesse apparent : for they lay doune nothing which they may not take up at pleasure : and they reserve entire and not so much as mentioned , their claimes and pretences to an arbitrary and despotick power ; which has been the root of all their oppression , and of the totall subversion of the government . and it is plain , that there can be no redresse nor remedy offered but in parliament : by a declaration of the rights of the subjects that have been invaded : and not by any pretended acts of grace , to which the extremity of their affairs has driven them . therefore it is that wee have thought fit to declare , that wee will referre all to a free assembly of the nation , in a lawfull parliament . given under our hand and seal , at our court in the hague , the . day of october in the year of our lord . william henry , prince of orange . by his highnesses speciall command c : huygens. the declaration of his highnes william henry , by the grace of god prince of orange , &c. of the reasons inducing him , to appear in armes for preserving of the protestant religion , and for restoring the lawes and liberties of the ancient kingdome of scotland . it is both certain and evident to all men , that the publike peace and happines of any state or kingdome , can not be preserved , where the lawes , liberties and customes established by the lawfull authority in it , are openly transgressed and annulled : more especially where the alteration of religion is endeavoured , and that a religion which is contrary to law is endeavoured to be introduced : upon which those who are most immediatly concerned in it , are indispensably bound to endeavour to preserve and maintain the established lawes , liberties and customes : and above all the religion and worship of god , that is established among them ; and to take such an effectuall care , that the inhabitants of the said state or kingdome , may neither be deprived of their religion nor of their civill rights . vvhich is so much the more necessary because the greatnes and security both of kings royall families , and of all such as are in authority , as well as the happines of their subjects and people , depend in a most especiall manner upon the exact observation and maintenance of these their lawes , liberties and customes . upon these grounds it is , that wee cannot any longer forbear to declare that to our great regret wee see that those councellours , who have now the chiefe credit with the king , have overturned the religion , lawes and liberties of those realmes , and subjected them in all things relating to their consciences , liberties and properties , to arbitrary government : and that not only by secret and indirect waies , but in an open and undisguised manner . and indeed the lamentable effects of an arbitrary power and of evill counsells are so manifest in the deplorable state of the kingdome of scotland , that both our reason and conscience doe prompt us to an abhorrence of them . for when wee consider the sad condition that nation , though always affectionate to the royall family , and governed for many ages by laws made by the authority of their kings , and of the estates of parliament , and by common customes , is reduced to , by endeavours that have been used to change the constitution of the monarchy regulate by laws , into a despotick or arbitrary power : which doth evidently appear not only by the actings of evill councellours in power , but by the deliberate and expresse publick declarations , bearing that the king is an absolute monarch , to whom obedience ought to be given in all things without reserve , thereby to make way to introduce what religion they please , without so much as the necessity of the consent of the nation by their estates in parliament . whilest wee consider and ponder these things as wee cannot but be touched with a tender sense of those miseries , so the giving such a remedy to them as may be proper and may answer the expectation of all good men , and true protestants , is the great thing which wee propose to our selves in this undertaking : the equity where of will be justified to the world , if what hath been acted at the instigation of those evill councellours be further impartially weighed . it is well known , that the laws , priviledges and rights of the kingdome have been overturned to the great prejudice of king and people , whilest thus all foundation of confidence and trust is removed . and it is no less known what have been the arbitrary procedures of an encroaching privy councell ; for although by the laws enacted by the authority of king and parliament , it is expressly prohibited that the popish religion should be professed or seminary priests suffered within the kingdom , or that the children of any noblemen or gentlemen should be sent abroad to be educated in popish colledges ; yet have these evill councellours ordered or suffered young noblemen to be taken from their relations , and to be sent abroad to be instructed in jesuites colledges , and have likewayes caused schools to be erected under the conduct of popish priests , and that in the capitall city of the kingdom . in an open contempt also of the known laws of the kingdom , papists are put into places of highest trust both civil and military , and entrusted with all the forts and magazins . the rights and priviledges of the royall burrows , the third estate of parliament , having as many deputies in it as all the shires in the kingdom , are taken away , and they hindred in the free election of their magistrats and town-councells , to the manifest violation of their charters , established by law and immemoriall possession . and all this is done by meer arbitrary power without any citation , triall or sentence . and whereas no nation whatsoever can subsist without the administration of good and impartiall justice , upon which mens lives aud liberties their honours and estates depend , yet those evill councellours have subjected these to an arbitrary and despotick power : having turned out judges , who by law ought to continue during their life or their good behaviour , becase they would not conform themselves to their intentions , and put others in their places , who they believe would be more complyant , and that without any regard to their abilities : by which it evidently appears that those evill councellours design to render themselves the absolute masters of the lives , honours and estates of the subjects , without being restrained by any rule or law. by the inflence of the same evill counsellours hath a most exorbitant power been exercised in imposing bonds and oaths upon whole shires without any law or act of parliament : in permitting free quarters to the souldiers , although they had a sufficient establisment for their pay , whereby the kingdom was doubly burdened without any redres ; in imprisoning gentlemen without any , so much as alledged , reason , for ceing many to accuse and witness against themselves , imposing arbitrary fines , frighting and harassing many parts of the countrey with intercommoning and justice-aires , making some incurre forfeiture of life & fortune for the most generall and harmless converse even with their nearest relations outlawed . and thus bringing a consternation upon a great part of the kingdom , which when outlawries and intercommonings went out against multitudes upon the slenderest pretexts , was involved so universally in that danger , that those councellours themselves were so obnoxious as to find it necessary to have pardons and indemnities , whilest the poor people were left to mercy ; impowering officers and souldiers to act upon the subjects living in quiet and full peace , the greatest barbarities , in destroying them by hanging , shooting and drouwning them without any forme of law , or respect to age or sexe , not giving some of them time to pray to god for mercy : and this for no other reason but because they would not answer or satisfy them in such questions as they proposed to them without any warrant of law , and against the common interest of mankind , which frees all men from being obliged to discover their secret thoughts ; besides a great many other violences and oppressions , to which that poor nation hath been exposed without any hope of having an end put to them , or to have relief from them . and that the arbitrary and illegall proceedings of those evill councellours might be justified and supported , such a declaration hath been procured by them , as strikes at the root of the government , and overturns the most sacred rights of it , in making all parliaments unnecessary , and taking away all defences of religion , liberty and property , by an assumed and asserted absolute power , to which obedience is required without reserve : which every good christian is perswaded to be due to god almighty alone , all whose commandements are always just and good. these evill councellours have used their utmost endeavours to abolish penall laws excluding all who are not protestants from publick trust , which give too great a check to their designes . for the accomplishing of this a liberty hath been granted to dissenters , but such a●one , as that the continuance thereof is plainly insinuated to depend upon their hearty concurrence for abolishing the abovementioned penall laws , the only legall defence of their religion ; although the dissenters have just cause of distrust when they call to mind how some hundreds of their ministers were driven out of their churches without either accusation or citation : the filling of many of whose places with ignorant and scandalous persons hath been one great occasion of all those miseries which that countrey for a long time hath groaned under . and dissenters have but small ground to rest on any present ease founded upon a proclamation which may be recalled every hour , and which in the first and second editions of it gave no relief to them , especially considering that not many monts before , the greatest of the forementioned severities and barbarities had been exercised upon them . but to crown all , there are great and violent presumptions , inducing us to beleeve , that those evill councellours , in order to the carrying on of their ill designes , and to the gaining to themselves the more time for the effecting of them , for the encouraging of their complices , and for the discouraging of all good subjects , have published that the queen hath brought forth a son : tho there have appeared both during the queens pretended bignes , and in the manner in which the birth was managed , so many just and visible grounds of suspicion , that not only wee our selves , but all the good subjects of those kingdomes doe vehemently suspect , that the pretended prince of wales was not born by the queen . and it is notoriously known to all the world , that many both doubted of the queens bignes , and of the birth of the child , and yet there was not any one thing done to satisfy them , or to put an end to their doubts . and since our dearest and most entirely beloved consort , the princesse , and likewise wee our selves , have so great an interest in this matter , and such a right , as all the world knows , to the succession of these kingdomes , which those men have attempted to violate , for preventing of all redress of miseries , by the lawfull successors of the crown , educated by the good providence of god , in the true profession of the protestant religion , wee cannot excuse our selves from espousing the true interest of these nations in matters of such high consequence , and from contributing all that lies in us , for the defence of the laws and liberties thereof , the maintaining of the protestant religion in them , and the securing of the people in the enjoyment of all their just rights . but that our intentions may be so manifest that no person may doubt or pretend to doubt thereof , to excuse themselves from concurringh with us in this just design for the universall good of the nation . wee do declare that the freeing that kingdom from all hazard of popery and arbitrary power for the future , and the delivering it from what at the present doth expose it to both , the setling of it by parliament upon such a solid basis as to its religions and civill concerns as may most effectually redress all the above mentioned grievances , are the true reasons of our present undertaking as to that nation , and therefore wee persuade our selves that our endeavours to give the best assistance wee can for the relief of so distressed a kingdome , shall not only not be misconstrued , but shall also be accompanied with a chearfull and universall concurrence of the whole nation , that even those who have been instruments for the enslaving of it , will now show their dislike of what they have done , by their timeous and reasonable diligence for its rescue ; and that if any shall not give us that assistance which their conscience to god , and their respect to their countrey oblige them to , they shall be justly charged with all the evills that may be the effects of such a want of their duty . and as wee our selves desire to trust to the almighty god alone for the success of our arms , so wee expect of all good men , that they will apply themselves most earnestly to him for his blessing upon our endeavours , that so they may rend to the glory of his great name , to the establishment of the reformed churches , and to the peace and happiness of that kingdome . given under our hand and seal at our court in the hague , the tenth of october in the year of our lord . william henry , prince of orange . by his highnesses speciall command c : huygens. to all commanders of ships and all seamen that are now imployed in the english fleet. gentlemen and friends , our right trusty and well beloved admirall herbert is fully instructed by us : and therefore wee expect that you will give an entire credit , to every thing that he shall say to you in our name : wee have prepared a declaration , containing the reasons that induce us to undertake the present expedition , in which wee have no other designe but the preservation of the protestant religion , and the restoring of the lawes and liberties of england . the totall ruine of your religion being as much designed by the papists in england , as it is already accomplished in france ; and it will as certainly be effected , if they are able to prevail at this time . wee can not beleeve , but that you must be already sensible , that you are only made use of as instruments , to bring both your selves and your countrey under popery and slavery , by the means both of the irish and the forreigners who are preparing to compleat your destruction . and therefore wee hope that god will put it in your hearts at this time , to redeem your selves , your countrey and your religion from all those miseries . this in all humane appearance can onely be done , by your coming now to assist us , who are labouring for your deliverance . and wee doe assure you that wee will be ever mindfull of the services that youw shall now doe us : and wee promise to you that wee will place particular marks of our favour on all those who will upon this occasion deserve well of us and of the nation , wee are with all sincerity your truely wel wishing and affectionate friend given at our court at dieren the . day of septembre . william h : prince of orange . by his highnesses speciall command c : huygens. to all the officers and souldiers in the english army . gentlemen and friends . wee have given so true and so full an account of our intentions in this expedition , in our declaration , that as wee can adde nothing to it , so wee are sure that you can desire nothing more of us. wee come to preserve your religion , and to restore and establish your liberties and properties : and therefore wee can not suffer our selves to doubt , but that all protestants and true englishmen will come and concurre with us in our designes to secure these nations from popery and slavery . you must all see plainly , that you are made use of only as instruments , to enslave the nation and to ruine the protestant religion : and when that is done you may judge what you your selves ought to expect , both by the casheering of all the protestant and english officers and souldiers in ireland , and by the irish souldiers that are brought over to be put in your places , of which you have seen so fresh an instance , that wee need not put you in mind of it . you know how many of your fellow officers have been used , only for their standing firm to the protestant religion and to the lawes of england : and you can not flatter your selves so farre , as to expect to be better used , if those who have broke their word so oft , should by your means be brought out of the straits , to which they are reduced at present . vvee hope likewise , that you will not suffer your selves to be abused by a false notion of honour : but that you will in the first place consider what you owe to almighty god and your religion , to your countrey , to your selves and to your posterity : which you as men of honour ought to preferre to all private considerations and engagements whatsoever . vvee doe therefore expect , that you will consider the honour that is now set before you , of being the instruments of saving your countrey and of securing your religion . vvee will ever remember the services that you shall doe upon this occasion : and vvee promise to you , that vvee will place such particular marks of our favour on every one of you , as your behaviour at this time shall deserve of us , and of the nation , in which vvee will make a great distinction of those , that shall come seasonably to join their armes with ours . and you shall ever find us to be your vvell vvishing and assured friend william henry , prince of orange . by his highnesses speciall command c : huygens. a praier for the present expedition . almighty god , the lord of hosts , and the aid and refuge of all that trust in thee , wee humbly pray thee , to blesse and prosper this undertaking , for the glory of thy name , and for the good of thy people : let not our sins provoke thee , to deny thy blessing to thy servant the prince , compasse him with thy favour as with a shield : direct him in all his councels , and be thou ever present with him and assisting to him in all his actions : that so he may be successefull in this great designe : and that he may imploy all the power , that thou puts in his hands , to the honour of thy great name , to the establishing and advancing of thy true religion , and to the procuring of the peace and happines of these nations : blesse both the army and fleet under his command , with successe and victory . and grant ô gracious god that all of us , may be turning to thee , with our whole hearts ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng great britain -- history -- revolution of . - tcp assigned for keying and markup - aptara keyed and coded from proquest page images - emma (leeson) huber sampled and proofread - emma (leeson) huber text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion the prince of orange his declaration : shewing the reasons why he invades england . with a short preface , and some modest remarks on it. london : published by randal taylor , near stationers-hall , mdclxxxviii . the prince of orange's declaration , shewing the reasons , why he invades england , with a short preface , and some modest remarks on it . there having been various ▪ discourses about the reasonableness and iustice of the dutch invasion , the prince's great love and special care of the protestant religion , and english protestants , set forth in the most charming manner , and the desperateness of the protestant state and condition painted in the blackest and most frightful colours ; our natural leige lord , notwithstanding his unparallel'd grace to all , represented as designing the greatest cruelty against his own subjects : : strange stories of ill things whispered , and nothing less than a secret l●●gue between ▪ his majesty of great britain , and the french king , to extirpate all protestants entred into : these reports are with so much art and cunning spread , as to startle the most considering protestants of all persuasions , whence nothing could be more eagerly desired , than a sight of the prince of orange's declaration ; for the expectations of most men are , that some extraordinary secrets , some hidden works of darkness should be reveal'd , and brought to light ; as generally those , who yet never saw the prince's declaration , do still believe ; but there not being one word of any such treaty , we cannot see why it is that the prince comes over ; and if others impartially peruse the declaration , we doubt not but 't will convince them , that they give no reason powerful enough to iustifie so bloody an enterprise , as this , in the issue must needs be . we will therefore give you a true copy of the prince's declaration , word for word , as it runs in the west . the declaration of his highnes william henry , by the grace of god , prince of orange , &c. of the reasons inducing him , to appear in armes in the kingdome of england , for preserving of the protestant religion , and for restoring the lawes and liberties of england , scotland and ireland . it is both certain , and evident to all men , that the publike peace and happines of any state or kingdome , can not be preserved , where the lawes , liberties , and customs established , by the lawfull authority in it , are openly transgressed and annulled : more especially where the alteration of religion is endeavoured , and that a religion which is contrary to law is endeavoured to be introduced : upon which those who are most immediatly concerned in it , are indispensably bound , to endeavour to preserve and maintain the established lawes , liberties and customes : and above all the religion and worship of god , that is established among them : and to take such an effectual care , that the inhabitants of the said state or kingdome , may neither be deprived of their religion ▪ nor of their civill rights . which is so much the more necessary because the greatnes and security both of kings , royall families , and of all such as are in authority , as well as the happines of their subjects and people , depend , in a most especiall manner , upon the exact observation , and maintenance of these their lawes , liberties , and customes . upon these grounds it is , that we cannot any longer forbear , to declare that to our great regret , we see that those councellours , who have now the chieffe credit with the king , have overturned the religion , lawes , and liberties of those realmes : and subjected them in all things relating to their consciences , liberties , and properties , to arbitrary government : and that not only by secret and indirect waies , but in an open and undisguised manner . those evil councellours for the advancing and colouring this , with some plausible pretexts , did invent and set on foot , the kings dispencing power , by vertue of which , they pretend that according to law , he can suspend and dispence with the execution of the lawes , that have been enacted by the authority , of the king and parliament , for the security and happines of the subject , and so have rendered those laws of no effect : tho there is nothing more certain , then that as no lawes can be made ; but by the joint concurrence of king and parliament , so likewise lawes so enacted , which secure the publike peace , and safety of the nation , and the lives and liberties of every subject in it , can not be repealed or suspended but by the same authority . for tho the king may pardon the punishment , that a transgressour has incurred , and to which he is condemned , as in the cases of treason ▪ or felony ; yet it can not be with any colour of reason , inferred from thence , that the king can entirely suspend the execution of those lawes , relating to treason or felony : unless it is pretended , that he is clothed with a despotick and arbitrary power , and that the lives , liberties , honours and estates of the subjects , depend wholly on his good will and pleasure , and are entirely subject to him ; which must infallibly follow , on the kings having a power to suspend the execution of the lawes , and to dispence with them . those evill councellours , in order to the giving some credit to this strange and execrable maxime , have so conducted the matter , that they have obtained a sentence from the judges , declaring that this dispencing power , is a right belonging to the crown ; as if it were in the power of the twelve judges , to offer up the lawes , rights , and liberties , of the whole nation , to the king , to be disposed of by him arbitrarily and at his pleasure , and expressly contrary to lawes enacted , for the security of the subjects . in order to the obtaining this judgment , those evill councellours did before hand , examine secretly , the opinion of the judges , and procured such of them , as could not in conscience concurre in so pernicious a sentence , to be turned out , and others to be substituted in their rooms till by the chances which were made , in the courts of judicature , they at last obtained that judgment . and they have raised some to those trusts , who make open profession of the popish religion , though those are by law rendred incapable of all such employments . it is also manifest and notorious , that as his majestie was , upon his coming to the crown , received and acknowledged by all the subjects of england , scotland , and ireland , as their king without the least opposition , tho he made then open profession , of the popish religion ; so he did then promise , and solemnly swear , at his coronation , that he would maintain his subjects , in the free enjoyment of their lawes , and liberties , and in particular , that he would maintain the church of england as it was established by law : it is likewise certain , that there have been at diverse and sundry times , several lawes enacted for the preservation of those rights , and liberties , and of the protestant religion : and among other securities , it has been enacted that all persons whatsoever , that are advanced to any eccles●astical dignity , or to bear office in either university , as likewise all other , that should be put in any imployment , civill or military , should declare that they were not papists , but were of the protestant religion , and that , by their taking of the oaths of allegance , and suprermacy and the test , yet these ●vill councellours have in effect annulled and abolished all those lawes , both with relation to ecclesiasticall and civill employments . in order to ecclesiasticall dignities and offices . they have not only without any colour of law , but against most expresse lawes to the contrary , set up a commission , of a certain number of persons , to whom they have committed the cognisance and direction of all ecclesiasticall matters : in the which commission there has been and still is , one of his majesties ministers of state , who makes now publike profession of the popish religion , and who at the time of his first professing it , declared that for a great while before , he had believed that to be the only true religion . by all this , the deplorable state to which the protestant religion is reduced is apparent , since the affairs of the church of england , are now put into the hands of persons , who have accepted of a commission that is manifestly illegal ; and who have executed it contrary to all law ; and that now one of their chieffe members has abjured the protestant religion and declared himself a papist ; by which he is become incapable of holding any publike imployment : the said commissioners have hitherto given such proof , of their submission to the directions given them , that there is no reason to doubt , but they will still continue to promote all such designs as will be most aggreable to them . and those evill councellours take care , to raise none to any ecclesiasticall dignities ; but persons that have no zeal for the protestant religion , and that now hide their unconcernedness for it , under the specious pretence of moderation . the said commissioners have suspended the bishop of london , only because he refused to obey an order , that was sent him to suspend a worthy divine , without so much as citing him before him , to make his own defence , or observing the common formes of processe . they have turned out a president , chosen by the fellows of magdalen colledge , and afterwards all the fellows of that colledge , without so much asciting them before any court that could take legall cognissance of that affair ; or obtaining any sentence against them by a competent judge . and the only reason , that was given , for turning them out , was their refusing to choose for their president ; a person that was recommended to them , by the instigation of those evill councellours . tho the right of a free election belonged undoubtedly to them . but they were turned out of their freeholds , contrary to law , and to that expresse provision in the magna charta ; that no man shall l●se life or goods , but by the law of the land . and now these evill councellours have put the said colledge wholly into the hands of popists , tho as is abovesaid , they are incapable , of all such employments , both by the law of the land , and the statutes of the colledge . these commissioners have also cited before them all the chancellours and archdeacons of england , requiring them to certifie to them the names , of all such clergymen , as have read the kings declaration for liberty of conscience , and of such as have not read it : without considering that the reading of it , was not enjoined the clergy , by the bishops , who are their ordinaries . the illegality and incompetency of the said court of the ecclesiasticall commissioners , was so notoriously known , and it did so evidently appear , that it tended to the subversion of the protestant religion , that the most revernd father in god , william archbishop of canterbury , primate and metropolitan of all england , seeing that it was raised for no other end , but to oppresse such persons as were of eminent vertue , learning , and piety , refused to sit or to concurre in it . and tho there are many expresse lawes against all churches or chapells , for the exercise of the popish religion , and also against all monasteries and convents , and more particularly against the order of the iesuites , yet those evill councellours have procured orders for the building of severall churches and chappels , for the exercise of that religion : they have also procured diverse monasteries to be erected , and in contempt of the law they have not only set up severall colledges of iesuites , in diverse places , for the corrupting of the youth , but have raised up one of the order , to be a privy councellour and a minister of state. by all which they do evidently shew , that they are restrained by no rules of law whatsoever ; but that they have subjected the honours and estates of the subjects , and the establisht religion , to a despotick power and to arbitrary government : in all which they are served and seconded by those ecclesiasticall commissioners . they have also followed the same methods with relation to civill affairs : for they have procured orders , to examine all lords lieutenants , deputy lieutenants , sheriffs , justices of peace , and all others that were in any publike imployment , if they would concurre with the king in the repeal of the test and penal laws : and all such , whose consciences did not suffer them , to comply with their designes , were turned out ; and others were put in their places , who they believed would be more compliant to them ; in their designes of defeating the intent and execution of those laws ; which had been made with so much care and caution , for the security of the protestant religion . and in many of these places they have put professed papists , though the law has disabled them , and warranted the subjects not to have any regard to their orders . they have also invaded the priviledges , and seised on the charters of most of those towns that have a right to be represented by their burgesses in parliament : and have procured surrenders to be made of them , by which the magistrates in them have delivered up all their rights , and priviledges , to be disposed of , at the pleasure of those evill councellours : who have thereupon , placed new magistrates in those towns , such as they can most entirely confide in : and in many of them , they have put popish magistrates , notwithstanding the incapacities under which the law has put them . and whereas no nation whatsoever can subsist without the administration of good and impartiall justice , upon which mens lives , liberties , honours , and estates , doe depend ; those evill councellours have subjected these to an arbitrary and despotick power : in the most important affairs , they have studied to discover before hand , the opinions of the judges ; and have turned out such , as they found would not conform themselves to their intentions : and have put others in their places , of whom they were more assured , without having any regard to their abilities . and they have not stuck to raise even professed papists , to the courts of judicature , notwithstanding their incapacity by law , and that no regard is due to any sentences flowing from them . they have carried this so far , as to deprive such judges , who in the common administration of justice , shewed that they were governed by their consciences , and not by the directions , which the others gave them . by which it is apparent that they designe to render themselves the absolute masters of the lives , honours and estates of the subjects , of what rank or dignity soever they may be : and that without having any regard either to the equity of the cause , or to the consciences of the judges , whom they will have to submit in all things , to their own will , and pleasure : hoping by such waies , to intimidate those who are yet in imployment , as also such others , as they shall think fit , to put in the rooms of those whom they have turned out ; and to make them see , what they must look for , if they should at any time act in the least contrary to their good liking : and that no failings of that kind , are pardoned , in any persons whatsoever . a great deal of blood has been shed in many places of the kingdom , by judges governed by those evill councellours , against all the rules and forms of law ; without so much as suffering the persons that were accused , to plead in their own defence . they have also , by putting the administration of justice , in the hands of papists , brought all the matters of civil justice into great uncertainties : with how much exactness and justice soever that these sentences may have been given . for since the laws of the land do not only exclude papists from all places of judicature , but have put them under an incapacity , none are bound to acknowledge or to obey their judgements , and all sentences given by them , are null and void of themselves : so that all persons who have been cast , in trials before such popish judges , may justly look on their pretended sentences , as having no more force , then the sentences of any private and unauthorised person whatsoever . so deplorable is the case of the subjects , who are obliged to answer to such judges , that must in all things sti●● to the rules , , which are set them by those evil councellours , who as they raised them up to those imployments , so can turn them out of them at pleasure ; and who can never be esteemed lawful judges ; so that all their sentences are in the construction of the law , of no force and efficacy . they have likewise disposed of all military imployments , in the same manner : for tho the laws have not only excluded papists , from all such imployments , but have in particular , provided that they should be disarmed ; yet they in contempt of these laws , have not only armed the papists , but have likewise raised them up to the greatest military trusts , both by sea and land , and that strangers as well as natives , and irish as well as english , that so by those means , having rendred themselves masters both of the affairs of the church , of the government of the nation , and of the course of justice , and subjected them all to a despotick and arbitrary power , they might be in a capacity to maintain and execute their wicked designs , by the assistance of the army , and thereby to enslave the nation . the dismal effects of this subversion of the established religion , laws and liberties in england appear more evidently to us , by what we see done in ireland : where the whole government is put in the hands of papists , and where all the protestant inhabitants are under the daily fears of what may be justly apprehended , from the arbitrary power which is set up there : which has made great numbers of them , leave that kingdom , and abandon their estates in it , remembring well that cruel and bloody massacre , which fell out in that island in the year . those evil councellours have also prevailed with the king to declare in scotland that he is clothed with absolute power , and that all the subjects are bound to obey him without reserve : upon which he has assumed an arbitrary power both over the religion and laws of that kingdom , from all which it is apparent , what is to be looked for in england , as soon as matters are du●ly prepared for it . those great and insufferable oppressions , and the open contempt of all law , together with the apprehensions of the sad consequences that must certainly follow upon it , have put the subjects under great and just fears ; and have made them look after such lawful remedies as are allowed of in all nations : yet all has been without effect . and those evil councellors have endeavoured to make all men apprehend , the losse of their lives , libertys , honours , and estates , if they should go about to preserve themselves from this oppression , by petitions , representations , or other means authorised by law. thus did they proceed with the archbishop of canterbury , and the other bishops , who having offered a most humble petition to the king , in termes full of respect , and not exceding the number limited by law , in which they set forth in short , the reasons , for which they could not obey that order , which by the instigation of those evil councellors , was sent them , requiring them to appoint their clergy to read in their churches the declaration for liberty of conscience ; were sent to prison and afterwards brought to a triall , as if they had been guilty of some enormous crime . they were not only obliged , to defend themselves in that pursute , but to appear before professed papists , who had not taken the test and by consequence were men whose interest led them to condemn them : and the judges that gave their opinion in their favours were thereupon turned out . and yet it can not be pretended , that any kings ; how great soever their power has been , and how arbitrary and despotick soever , they have been in the exercise of it , have ever reckoned it a crime for their subjects to come , in all submission and respect , and in a due number , not exceeding the limits of the law , and represent to them the reasons that made it impossible for them to obey their orders . those evil councellours have also treated a peer of the realm as a criminall , only because he said that the subjects were not bound to obey the orders of a popish justice of peace : tho it is evident , that they being by law rendred incapable of all such trusts , no regard is due to their orders . this being the security which the people have by the law for their lives , liberties , honours and estates , that they are not to be subjected to the arbitrary procedings of papists , that are contrary to law , put into any employments civil or military . both wee our selves , and our dearest and most entirely beloved consort , the princesse , have endeavoured to signify in terms full of respect , to the king , the just and deep regret which all these proceedings have given us ; and in compliance with his majesties desires signified to us , wee declared both by word of mouth , to his envoy , and in writing ; what our thoughts were touching the repealing of the test and penal lawes ; which we did in such a manner , that we hoped we had proposed an expedient , by which the peace of those kingdoms , and a happy agreement among the subjects of all persuasions , might have been setled : but those evil councellours , have put such ill constructions on these our good intentions , that they have endeavoured to alienate the king more and more from us : as if wee had designed , to disturb the quiet and happiness of the kingdome . the last and great remedy for all those evils , is the calling of a parliament , for securing the nation , against the evil practises of those wicked councellours : but this could not be yet compassed , nor can it be easily brought about . for those men apprehending , that a lawful parliament , being once assembled , they would be brought to an account , for all their open violations of law , and for their plots and conspiracies against the protestant religion , and the lives and liberties of the subjects , they have endeavoured under the specious pretence of liberty of conscience ; first to sow divisions among protestants , between those of the church of england and the dissenters : the design being laid to engage protestants , that are all equally concerned , to preserve themselves from popish oppression ; into mutual quarrellings ; that so by these , some advantages might be given to them to bring about their designs ; and that both in the election of the members of parliament , and afterwards in the parliament it selfe . for they see well that if all protestants , could enter into a mutual good understanding , one with another , and concurre together , in the preserving of their religion , it would not be possible for them to compasse their wicked ends . they have also required all persons in the several counties of england , that either were in any imployment , or were in any considerable esteem , to declare before hand , that they would concur in the repeal of the test and penal laws ; and that they would give their voices in the elections to parliament , only for such as would concurre in it : such as would not thus preingage themselves were turned out of all imployments : and others who entred into those engagements , were put in their places , many of them being papists : and contrary to the charters and priviledges of those burroughs , that have a right to send burgesses to parliament , they have ordered such regulations to be made , as they thought fit and necessary , for assuring themselves of all the members , that are to be chosen by those corporations : and by this means they hope to avoid that punishment which they have deserved : tho it is apparent , that all acts made by popish magistrates are null , and void of themselves ; so that no parliament can be lawful , for which the elections and returns are made by popish sheriffs and majors of touns ; and therefore as long as the authority and magistracy is in such hands , it is not possible to have any lawful parliament . and tho according to the constitution of the english government , and immemorial custome , all elections of parliament men ought to be made with an entire liberty , without any sort of force , or the requiring the electors to choose such persons as shall be named to them , and the persons thus freely elected , ought to give their opinions freely , upon all matters that are brought before them , having the good of the nation ever before their eyes , and following in all things the dictates of their conscience , yet now the people of england can not expect a remedy from a free parliament , legally called and chosen . but they may perhaps see one called , in which all elections will be carried by fraud or force , and which will be composed of such persons , of whom those evil councellours hold themselves well assured , in which all things will be carried on according to their direction and interest , without any regard to the good or happiness the nation . which may appear evidently from this , that the same persons tried the members of the last parliament , to gain them to consent to the repeal of the test and penal lawes , and procured that parliament to be dissolved , when they found that they could not , neither by promises nor threatnings , prevail with the members to comply with their wicked designs . but to crown all , there are great and violent presumptions , inducing us to beleeve , that those evil councellours , in order to the carrying on of their ill designs , and to the gaining to themselves the more time for the effecting of them , for the encouraging of their complices , and for the discouraging of all good subjects , have published that the queen hath brought forth a son : tho there have appeared both during the queens pretended bigness , and in the manner in which the birth was managed , so many just and visible grounds of suspicion , that not only we our selves , but all the good subjects of those kingdoms , do vehemently suspect , that the pretended prince of wales was not born by the queen . and it is notoriously known to all the world , that many both doubted of the queens bigness , and of the birth of the child , and yet there was not any one thing done to satisfy them , or to put an end to their doubts . and since our dearest and most entirely beloved consort , the princesse , and likewise we our selves , have so great an interest in this matter , and such a right , as all the world knows , to the succession to the crown , since also the english did in the year . when the states general of the vnited provinces were invaded , in a most unjust warre , use their utmost endeavours to put an end to that warre , and that in opposition to those who were then in the government : and by their so doing , they run the hazard , of losing both the favour of the court , and their imployments ; and since the english nation has ever testified a most particular affection and esteem , both to our dearest consort the princesse , and to our selves , wee cannot excuse our selves from espousing their interests , in a matter of such high consequence , and from contributing all that lies in us , for the maintaining both of the protestant religion , and of the laws and liberties of those kingdomes , and for the securing to them , the continual enjoyment of all their just rights . to the doing of which , wee are most earnestly solicited by a great many lords , both spirituall and temporall , and by many gentlemen and other subjects of all ranks . therefore it is , that wee have thought fit , to goe over to england , and to carry over with us a force , sufficient by the blessing of god , to defend us from the violence of those evill councellours . and , wee being desirous that our intentions in this , may be rightly understood , have for this end prepared this declaration , in which as wee have hitherto given a true account of the reasons inducing us to it , so wee now think fit to declare that this our expedition , is intended for no other designe , but to have a free and lawfull parliament assembled , as soon as is possible : and that in order to this , all the late charters by which the elections of burgesses are limited contrary to the ancient custome , shall be considered as null and of no force : and likewise all magistrates who have been injustly turned out , shall forthwith resume their former imployments , as well as all the borroughs of england shall return again to their antient prescriptions and charters : and more particularly that the antient charter of the great and famous city of london , shall again be in force : and that the writts for the members of parliament shall be addressed to the proper officers , according to law and custome . that also none be suffered to choose or to be chosen members of parliament but such as are qualified by law : and that the members of parliament being thus lawfully chosen they shall meet and sit in full freedome ; that so the two houses may concurre in the preparing of such lawes , as they upon full and free debate , shall judge necessary and convenient , both for the confirming and executing the law concerning the test and such other lawes as are necessary for the security and maintenance of the protestant religion ; as likewise for making such lawes as may establish a good aggrement between the church of england , and all protestant dissenters , as also for the covering and securing of all such , who will live peaceably under the government as becomes g●od subjects , from all persecution upon the account of their religion , even papists themselves not excepted , and for the doing of all other things , which the two houses of parliament shall find necessary for the peace , honour , and safety of the nation , so that there may be no more danger of the nations salling at any time hereafter , under arbitrary government . to this parliament wee will also referre the enquiry into the birth of the pretended prince of wales , and of all things relating to it and to the right of succession . and wee for our part will concurre in every thing , that may procure the peace and happines of the nation , which a free and lawfull parliament shall determine ; since wee have nothing before our eyes in this our undertaking , but the preservation of the protestant religion , the covering of all men from persecution for their consciences , and the securing to the whole nation the free enjoyment of all their lawes , rights and liberties , under a just and legall government . this is the designe , that wee have proposed to our selves , in appearing upon this occasion in armes : in the conduct of which , wee will keep the forces under our command , under all the strictnes of martiall discipline : and take a speciall care , that the people of the countries thro which wee must march , shall not suffer by their means : and as soon as the state of the nation will admit of it , wee promise that we will send back all those forreigne forces , that wee have brought along with us . wee doe therefore hope that all people will judge rightly of us , and approve of these our proceedings : but wee chiefly rely on the blessing of god , for the successe of this our undertaking , in which wee place our whole and only confidence . wee do in the last place invite and require all persons whatsoever , all the peers of the realme , both spirituall and temporall , all lords lieutenants , deputy lieutenants , and all gentlemen , citisens and other commons of all ranks , to come and assist us , in order to the executing of this our designe ; against all such as shall endeavour to oppose us ; that so wee may prevent all those miseries , which must needs follow upon the nations being 〈◊〉 vnder arbitrary government and slavery : and that all the viole●ces and disorders , which have overturned the whole constitution of the english government , may be fully redressed , in a free and legall parliament . and wee do likewise resolve that as soon as the nations are brought to a state of quiet wee will take care that a parliament shall be called in scotland , for the restoring the ancient constitution of that kingdom , and for bringing the matters of religion to such a settlement , that the people may live easy and happy , and for putting an end to all the injust violences , that have been in a course of so many years committed there . we will also study to bring the kingdom of ireland to such a state , that the settlement there may be religiously observed : and that the protestant and british interest there , may be secured . and we will endeavour by all possible means , to procure such an establishment in all the three kingdoms that they may all live in a happy union and correspondence together ; and that the protestant religion , and the peace , honour , and happiness of those nations , may be established upon lasting foundations . given under our hand and seal , at our court in the hague , the tenth day of october in the year of our lord . william henry , prince of orange ▪ by his highnesses special command . c : huygens. thus you have an exact and full account of the prince of orange's declaration : and can you find one word of a treaty with france , to extirpate all protestants ? or can you imagine that if they had the least reason for such a talk , they who aggravate every little thing , would let this declaration pass without the least mentioning of what is so momentous and important ? and is there any thing more than a violent presumption suggested about the prince of wales ? and is the very noise of such a presumption reason enough to justifie a real war ? as for the other things urg'd , are they not redressable by a parliament , and so far as it 's possible without one already redressed ? 't is a parliament then that is the main thing to be insisted on , which , though chosen as the last was , would be too feeble an argument to clear the present invasion from the charge of being injust and unrighteous . the great men of this kingdom ever thought a parliament irregularly chosen more eligible than either a war , or a rash enquiry into the manner of the choise . did queen elizabeth's parliament admit of a words being spoken to bring queen mary's parliament into doubt ? did they not look on it as most dangerous to do so ? and although by the triennial bill the long parliament in the late kings reign , was actually dissolved nine months before it thought on the repeal thereof , yet even after 't was destroy'd by it , the dissolved parliament sate and repealed the dissolving bill , and made the conventicle-act , the test-laws , repealed the writ de haeretico comburendo , and pass'd the habeas corpus bill into a law. but was the assembly that acted thus irregularly , ever call'd to an account for it , or any of their laws declared void and null ? or was it ever esteemed a good reason for a war ? and yet this is much more than hath been ever done by his present majesty . besides , 't was the late king that took away the charters , and those , who were entring on violent courses for their restauration , were proclaimed traytors , and several executed for it , whilst all the pulpits throughout england sounded of the horridness , blackness , vileness , devilishness of that conspiracy ; and is what was black and horrid then , become noble , great , generous , and glorious now ? thus much was also a part of the late duke of monmouth's declaration , and yet a parliament chosen by the garbled corporations proclaim'd him a traitor , and attainted him ; but doth the blood of monmouth as well as of the forementioned conspirators , and of all those in the west lye on the iudges , iuries , nobility , and other gentry of the church of england , that had a hand in condemning such as by violent methods would have restor'd the charters . if these things could not vindicate the presbyterian plotters in the late king's reign , or monmouth's rebellion , it cannot excuse the present undertaking , for this doth infinitely exceed these , and the late civil war too , for neither of them brought in a foreign power upon us as now is done . but it must be observed , that how great soever our grievances have been , yet now , all that relief can reasonably be desired is granted us . the ecclesiastical commission actually broken up , the bishop of london , the master and fellows of magdalen colledge , and the ancient charters of cities and burroughs actually restored , all things on the ancient bottom , for the calling a free parliament , which his majesty would have done before this time , had not the prince of orange hindred him , and as soon as the prince of orange departs the king will call one , whereby all the prince's pretensions are taken away , and nothing more remains for him to do , but to return home , or contend for the crown . yet the prince would have us believe , that though he is not satisfied with this , yet he intends no such thing as the crown , or a conquest of us , as appears by his highnesses additional declaration . his highnesses additional declaration . after we had prepared and printed this our declaration , wee have understood , that the subverters of the religion and lawes of those kingdomes , hearing of our preparations , to assist the people against them , have begun to retract some of the arbitrary and despotick powers , that they had assumed , and to vacate some of their injust judgments and decrees . the sense of their guilt , and the distrust of their force , have induced them to offer to the city of london some seeming releefe from their great oppressions : hoping thereby to quiet the people , and to divert them from demanding a re-establishment of their religion and laws under the shelter of our arms : they do also give out , that we do intend to conquer and enslave the nation , and therefore it is that we have thought fit to adde a few words to our declaration . we are confident , that no persons can have such hard thoughts of us , as to imagine that we have any other designe in this undertaking , then to procure a settlement of the religion and of the liberties and properties of the subjects upon so sure a foundation , that there may be no danger of the nations relapsing into the like miseries at any time hereafter . and as the forces that we have brought along with us , are utterly disproportioned to that wicked design of conquering the nation , if wee were capable of intending it , so the great numbers of the principal nobility and gentry , that are men of eminent quality and estates , and persons of known integrity and zeal both for the religion and government of england , many of them being also distinguished by their constant fidelity to the crown , who do both accompany us in this expedition , and have earnestly solicited us to it , will cover us from all such malicious insinuations : for it is not to be imagined , that either those who have invited us , or those that are already come to assist us , can joyn in a wicked attempt of conquest , to make void their own lawful titles to their honours , estates and interests : wee are also confident that all men see how little weight there is to be laid , on all promises and engagements that can be now made : since there has been so little regard had in time past , to the most solemne promises . and as that imperfeit redresse that is now offered , is a plain confession of those violations of the government , that we have set forth , so the defectiveness of it is no lesse apparent : for they lay down nothing which they may not take up at pleasure : and they reserve entire and not so much as mentioned , their claimes and pretences to an arbitrary and despotick power ; which has been the root of all their oppression , and of the total subversion of the government . and it is plain , that there can be no redresse nor remedy offered but in parliament : by a declaration of the rights of the subjects that have been invaded : and not by any pretended acts of grace , to which the extremity of their affairs has driven them . therefore it is that we have thought fit to declare , that we will refer all to a free assembly of the nation , in a lawful parliament . given under our hand and seal , at our court in the hague , the . day of october in the year of our lord . william henry , prince of orange ▪ by his highnesses special command . c : huygens. this addition doth very fully unfold the design , the prince will abide amongst us with a foreign power , and make the choice of a parliament impracticable , and therefore the call of one a weak and foolish thing , and yet oblige us to distrust every promise the king makes us , lesning what is done , and insinuating that all things shall be soon undone . and why all these insinuations , but to help us to unravel the whole intreague , which , if it be not for the crown , must be thus . the dutch knowing how the prince hath ravished from them their liberties and priviledges , and what danger they are in of being utterly undone , if liberty of conscience be settled amongst us in england , precipitate the prince on this hazardous undertaking , not doubting but they shall be either delivered from the princes exercise of a despotick power over them , or spoil our liberty , to the continuance and advance of their own trade ; which may be the reason why in the entrance into the declaration , what relates to religion is so worded as to gain the bishops over to them , the more e●sily to effect their design , for says the declaration , the alteration of religion is endeavoured , and that a religion which is contrary to law is endeavoured to be introduced ; it is not said , that the popish religion , but a religion contrary to the law , and , it 's well known , that the laws are against the religion of the dissenters , and the prince's endeavour shall be to preserve and maintain above all the religion and worship of god , that is established amongst us , which cannot be understood of the worship the dissenters use , but of the hierarchical way , that is as contrary to the prince's own religion , as 't is to that of the dissenters in england . and to perswade the church men to close with him , he declares , that he was most earnestly solicited to come over by the lords spiritual , not doubting , but that , if the belief thereof prevail amongst the mobile , they 'll be all of an opinion that the prince's grounds are most iust and reasonable , so that though it cannot be made out by any thing particularly known , yet this general carrying a thousand unheard-of arguments in its bowels cannot fail of success . but what if this prove not true ? may we afterwards venture to believe his highness in any thing , which under a violent temptation , he may be , as now , moved to declare ? the prince insists on it , that many of the lords spiritual did most earnestly sollicite him to invade us , and yet the lords spiritual do not only declare , that they look on this invasion to be sinful , but , that they never sollicited his coming ; and , it must be acknowledged , that they could do no such thing without acting most contrary to their avowed principles , and contrary to most solemn oaths , and declarations ; and men should take heed , how they receive this report against the right reverend bishops ; the design in which they are said to embarque being founded on that very principle , in pursuance of which the head of charles the blessed martyr was brought to the block ; and embarque they cannot , but by joyning with a foreign army , the chief part of which is made up of those who though they would willingly enough ensnare our bishops , cannot be reasonably supposed to be true in the promises they make about supporting their hierarchical grandeur ; the utmost they must expect in the long-run can be no more than a turning their lands into money , that , to the end their dependance on the government may be the more effectually secured , in stead of their present lands , leases , &c. they may have an yearly salary answerable to their worth and desert , which as 't will be uncertain , so it cannot be hop'd that its utmost heighth shall arise to the state and degree of a baron , for baronies go with their lands . by this you may see , how unlikely any sort of englishmen should by this invasion gain any thing but misery . animadversions upon the declaration of his highness the prince of orange . the great preparations for war in holland , were long talk'd of here as very unconcerning news . besides the perpetual assurances of their embassador , that they were not designed this way , every body knew the influence which his highness the prince of orange has upon that country ; and it could not sink into their heads , that he , who was born of one daughter of england , and married to another , would ever suffer the peace of a country to be disturbed , for which nature sollicited a feeling tenderness . even they who reflected , that politicks sometimes sway more than nature , as possible as they thought it that he might be moved to suffer it to be done by some body , in whom it would shew less shocking , thought it absolutely impossible he should ever be moved to bring fire and sword into england himself , and personally fight against his father-in-law , and uncle . when we found our incredulity had deceived us , we cast about to discover what unsufferable provocations he had receiv'd , what injuries beyond satisfaction , what affronts to be reveng'd with no less than the ruin of a nation ; in fine , what just cause of war there could be . and we impatiently waited for the declaration of his highness , in which we expected to find all this . now it is come , we are more at a loss than before . war must shed a great deal of blood ; make numberless widows and orphans , whose tears will go up to heaven , and cries be heard ; desolate the nation ; change our plenty into beggary ; and bring a thousand calamities . this blood , and these miseries will one day be required from the authors . and we perceive nothing in the world to justifie all this , but the very stories which we hear from those who make it their business to slander the government , and incense the people , of whom there are too many in every nation , and to whom we little thought his highness would have afforded the countenance of his name . since he has thought fit to do it , i shall , in respect , forbear to contest it with his highness , as much as i perceive he is misinformed , farther than is just necessary for our own resolutions and actions . his declaration sollicits us to joyn with his arms , and i conceive we ought to be very well assured the reasons offer'd will justifie us to god and man , before we break our natural and sworn allegeance , and forfeit our honour in this world , and interest in the next , by deserting , or fighting against our king , and gods anointed , before we tear out the bowels of our mother country with our own hands , and do things for which his highness himself shall always think us , and if he prevail , one day treat us as traytors and rebels . for a traytor is sure to be hated , even by him who loves the treason . the declaration begins with telling us , that the publick peace cannot be preserved , where the laws are openly transgressed , and a religion contrary to law endeavoured to be intr●du●ed . and that th●se who are most immediately concerned , are indispensably bound to preserve them . this may be as true as it will for any concern which england or his highness has in it . england , whatever be , is not the country in which these things are done . the ●xecution indeed of some laws is suspended , laws it seems not necessary to the publick peace , since the declaration inform us , his highness intends they should be taken away● ; and this suspension , by those who should know , is thought to be warranted , not forbidden by law , and his highness , i fancy , would be of their opinion himself , if the case were his own . happy we , if nothing would subvert our peace , and transgress our laws more than this suspension . but to make these things the ground of an invasion , which must intirely subvert our peace , and , if it prevail , our laws , and leave us none , but at the mercy of an arbitrary sword ; which cannot begin without notoriously transgressing the laws of god and nations ; nor be abetted without undisguisable transgressing the laws of the land ; has palpably some other aim , than the care of our peace and laws . what endeavours to introduce popery his highness means , i cannot tell . the king , to my thinking , has bounded his favour to that religion , with the single desire of seeing his papist subjects in the same condition with the rest , and is pleas'd to bate even of that . had he design'd to introduce their religion , he would certainly never have made it impossible to be introduc't . for an universal liberty unites the interest of every religion , against the prevailing of any one , and excludes popery from all hopes of ever domineering in england . but let the designs of papists be never so irreligious , booted missionaries , i take it , are no ministers of the gospel in the reformed religion , nor bare endeavours to do b●d actions , a warrant actually to do bad actions , and the worst of them . after all , were our case as bad as the declaration represents it , how comes his highness to be concern'd in it ? it is in his own words , certain and evident to all men , that sovereign states , whether monarchies , or commonwealths , are independent , and have no right to interpose , otherwise than by friendly offices , in one anothers affairs , but violate the laws of nations as often as they do . every government holds within itself , all those who are concern'd in the redress of abuses , when they happen , and the laws inform us who they are . nor is any thing more inconsistent with government , than the interposition of foreign powers , nor more deeply resented by the laws of all nations , than abetting of it . turn the tables , and let all these dismal stories , as som perhaps are , be told of holland , and be never ●o true ; i refer it to all mankind , to holland , to his highness himself , whether the king of england would not pass for a very bad neighbour , and a very bad man , if he should take the cognizance from the states , and himself compose their disorders by war : the immediate concern insinuated , relates , i suppose , to the prospect of succession , to which , if the calamities of war , be the proofs of his tender affection to our nation , it will soon wish the right of his highness were farther removed , than it is ; thô it has now pleased god , the right should not be immediate , even in his royal consort . but the most immediate right to succeed , is no right to intermeddle before the succession falls . i am successor to my father , but cannot therefore dispose of his estate , chuse his tenants for him , and appoint what covenants he shall make in his leases , any more than a stranger to his bloud . and yet it follows , that upon these ground ; his highness can no longer forbear to declare , that counsellors , in chief credit with the king , have openly overturned religion and the laws , and subjected them in all things relating to conscience , liberty and property , to arbitrary government , if these were the true grounds of his highness , he could as little forbear to declare against many , perhaps all nations , in which there are more rational , and more real causes of complaint to be found , by one who would look after them . but put it to mankind , and all mankind must declare , that these grounds are no grounds , and which no party will allow to justify another which disturbs them . put it to the nation , and all the nation must declare , that every man enjoys his conscience , his liberty , and his property , even to the envy of their less happy neighbours , and that there has been no proceeding against a single man , but for his single misdemeanor , and this not by arbitrary , but legal , power . and then to asperse his majesty with overturning all laws , under the name of evil counsellors ! why ? let his counsellors be never so bad , they are worse , whose service his highness has used in penning this declaration . men , whose brains reach no farther , than to copy from their rebellious ancestors of , by whose example it is too sadly known , whom they meant by evil counsellors , and what they intended to do with him. and yet his highness leads his name to such men , and giving credit to such counsellors himself , talks of evil counsellors in credit with the king. to these general premises , the declaration adds a list of particulars ; whereof the first is , the dispensing power . and this his highness takes the pains to moot , and tell us how far it goes , and where it must stop , and that a sentence has been obtained for it from the judges . those judges should in reason understand the matter better , than those , on whose information his highness has thought fit to relye . as i take it for a parliamentary business , i leave it untoucht , to the wisdom of a parliament , believing , all i can say , will be said and considered there , and resolving to acquiesce in their determination . in the mean time , how does this justifie foreign arms ? here is the case . kings are not bred at the inns of court , but must trust lawyers for law , as well as physicians for physick . the oppression of conscience-laws , deafens his majesties ears with perpetual complaints , and his tenderness of his subjects prompts him to relieve them . he adviseth with those of the profession , and they inform him , he may , by his dispensing power , relieve them legally , and he does it . every body is not content , and he refers the whole to a publick legal tryal . pray what better , or other advice could his highness have given ? what could he do more himself , if it had been his own case ? and if i may be so bold , does he always do so much ? unfortunate majesty ! and unfortunate mankind ! if every nation must be justly liable to the calamities of war , in which a king happens to have a counsellor , who in point of a law of his own country , differs in opinion from a prince of another . upon this point it is further declared , that these evil counsellors secretly examined the opinions of the iudges , and procured such to be turn'd out , as could not in conscience concur in their pernicious sentence . why ? then those bad counsellors were not bad enough to desire men should act against their conscience , and the pernicious sentence was given according to conscience . but this again is his highnesses case . he has the nomination of men to employments , as well as the king : and i humbly refer it to his conscience , whether before he nominate , he do not satisfy himself that his nominê be a man on whom he may rely , for the service which he expects from him . is it justice to fall out with the king for doing what he does himself , and all princes in the world , and all private men , who have employments at their disposal ? after minding us that we have a crowned king , and have had laws enacted in england for preservatiou of our rights , liberties and religion : the declaration repeats again , that evil counsellors have in effect annulled all those laws , contrary to the kings promise and oath . strange descant upon this short plain song , the king has dispenc'd with one law , and that in the interval of parliament , from which he promises himself , it will be taken away , and which the parliament design'd by his highness , as free as it shall be , we find by the declaration , must take away , and this upon information which he had reason to trust , that he might , according to law. will the rhetorick of his highnesses pen-men , make this pass for a breach of promise and oath , for annulling and abolishing all laws , when we see with our eyes , the establisht religion actually maintained , and assist every day at the divine service of it ; when we see the judges sit , and suitors obtain effectual decrees and sentences from them , and effectual execution elsewhere ; when we see no dispensation , nor inclination to it in any thing , save in relief of an oppression , which the whole nation , as far as i perceive , consents should not be continued ? we humbly pray his highness , in stead of the liberty held forth by his invasion , to afford us the liberty of believing our own eyes , before the repetitions of his historical pen-men , and to think we actually enjoy our religion , and our laws as much as they would persuade us , there is no such thing in england , but thô our case were as deplorable , as their frightful idea would make it , what remedy can we hope from the declaration ? all human affairs are subject to the miscarriages inseparable from human nature . when they happen among us , the wisdom of our nation has always thought the best way of redress is by parliament . but we could never think knocking out mens brains a proper remedy for miscariages about religion , nor plundring and burning apt to set right the sway'd law. and we again pray his highness , rather to let us alone in our misery , than make us happy this way . for as we are made , the happiness would be incomparably the more unsupportable misery . after all , what would his highness have done in the case ? and what can be done more , than to leave none of those things in being , of which he complain'd ? and so much his highness owns was done before he set sail from holland . the ecclesiastical commission was broken ; the suspension of the bishop of london taken off ; magdelene college restored ; chancellors and archdeacons discharged of their attendance ; lord-lieutenants , deputy-lieutenants , and the rest replaced ; and charters returned . as it is palpable , that his highness comes not to redress things , which he knew were redress'd already , it is palpable that we have reasons of his coming alledged which are not his reasons , and too much ground to argue from one to all , and , conclude , we have not one true reason offered , but are amused with pretences apt to work upon us , but which no way move his highness . there is mention besides of popish chappels , and schools , and commissions , all three consequences of liberty of conscience . people cannot exercise their religion , without places in which to exercise it , neither is there any complaint of the meeting places of their fellow dissenters , nor can i understand why his highness excepts against their chappels , who declares , he will not except them from the liberty of conscience . again , parents always breed up their children in their own way : and if papists be not allow'd schools at home , they will be sent abroad , to spend there , what it were more for the benefit of the nation should be laid out here , and besides , be train'd up to foreign customs , and perhaps , foreign principles , not so grateful to the nation , whereas here they might be watcht . but cannot the king and parliament compose this matter without bloodshed ? is the question , whether a boy shall go to school in england or flanders , so very material , and so very intricate , that nothing but arms can decide it ? as for their commissions , it stands not with nature , that a king should not chuse some of his own way to trust with commissions , when he is persuaded he lawfully may . with all my heart i wish , that the greater readiness , and greater fidelity of others in the defence of their prince and country , may convince him , and all the world , that he has made an ill choice . but to see whither exaggeration will go ! all matters of civil iustice , according to the declaration , are brought to great vncertainties : evil councellors ●●ndered masters of the affairs of the church , the government of the nation , and the course of iustice , and all by these commissions to papists : and yet all this signifies barely three or four judges at most , some justices of peace , and some officers in the army . can a few , and those puny judges , ( for there are no other ) master the courts of justice ▪ can a few officers , most subalterns , with soldiers , not one to fifty of their religion , master the affairs of the church ▪ and enslave a nation ? in which , if all the papists were armed , and the rest naked ▪ their pikes and muskets could not defend them against a volley of stones . can matters of civil justice be brought to great uncertainties by the incapacity of papists , who have no incapacity upon them ? the law indeed forbids them to be employed , but if they be , there is no invalidity laid upon their acts. and for military incapacity , if the law had put it , his highness has dispens'd with it ; for an invasion capacitates every body to save his country , as fire breaking out , to save his house . but 't is incomprehensible , that the irish should be mentioned , and the danger in which the nation is of slavery from them , who , if his highness had not brought them in , had never been here to fright us . at worst , the king's subjects sure may be as safely here , as absolute foreigners ; and if strangers , tho' subjects , be inconsistent with our freedom , 't is certain , that whatever be the business of his highnesses army , our freedom is not . and this appears the more , the farther we go . all his majesties dominions are taken presently after into the care of his highness , and 't is represented as a dismal matter , that papists are employed in ireland , and that the king's power is in scotland declared absolute , and subjects to obey without reserve . now these are the very words of a law enacted in scotland , by a very free parliament , held under a commissioner , upon whom , there never sell any imputation of popery . his highness is sparing in this point . it is said farther by the parliament , that the blessings of scotland● are , next to god , owing to the uninterrupted line of the kings , and to that solid absolute authority , and that their kings are invested with it by ▪ the first and fundamental laws of their monarchy . but parliaments , it seems , must exercise no freedom , but according to the pleasure of a supervising foreign sword , though i should think it somthing early to declare it . in ireland , the laws exclude not papists from employments ; and 't is again referr'd to the conscience of his highness , whether he would think it reasonable , his neighbours should exclaim and inflame the people against him , for disposing employments as the law allows , and themselves resolve the matter to be so heinously unjust , that any of them has right to revenge it upon his country with the miseries of war ? who shall hope to please his highness , when he thinks fit , at once , to dislike breaking laws in england , making them in scotland , and keeping them in ireland ? but these unsufferable oppressions , have put the subjects under just fears , and made them look after such lawful remedies , as are allow'd of in all nations . i hope , his highness does not mean , rising in arms against their king , and calling in foreign enemies , by lawful remedies . whatever other nations do , ours allows this for nothing but treason , and rebellion , nor , i much suspect , any nation in the world besides : and yet those lawful remedies must sure be remedies not authorized by law ; for the declaration makes such means barr'd by evil counsellors : the instance is in the bishops petition . now as unquestionably legal as a petition is , there may be an illegal petition ; whether this were so , or no , the king desired should be legally tryed : and a tryal there was , in which , the direct point ( as i am informed ) came not to issue , but not guilty found upon no proof of matter of fact ▪ a peer too is mentioned to be treated as a criminal , for saying the orders of a popish justice were not to be obeyed . and all his criminal treatment was to refer him to the ordinary course of law , where he likewise waved the direct point by collateral exceptions ; where may the oppression be , and where the frightful apprehensions of loss of life , liberty , honor , and estate , in all this ? are judicicial proceedings already threatned , and barr'd ? and must we have an army to revenge the wrongs of the bishops , and a peer , who , i believe , themselves complain of none done them ? nor can , without complaining that the law has wrong'd them , even when it acquitted them . what significations have been made , and what expedients proposed by their highnesses to his majesty , is not come to my knowledge . but if the same advisers were used in their suggestions , which have been in this declaration , it is very likely the king might be sensible , they were too ill informed of the affairs of england , to take their advice . if evil counsellors have endeavoured to perswade the king , that his highness design'd to disturb the quiet and happiness of the kingdom , i am infinitely sorry he would be at all this pains to justifie them . for 't is impossible to believe he actually came hither , without design to come , or that the war he brings with him will not disturb our peace , and the miseries of it our happiness . what follows is past my understanding . the last and great remedy for all our evils is the calling of a parliament . so indeed all englishmen think , and so his majesty thought , who call'd one. happy we , if his highness had been of the same opinion ! but to our misery , he is not , who when one was call'd would not let it sit , but instead of it brought in evils past the remedy even of a parliament . for votes are not cannon proof . but a parliament could not yet compassed , nor can it be easily brought about . too sadly true : for it is neither easy , nor possible , to bring about a parliament , when defenceless people must break through a foreign army to meet and elect . before , it was so possible to compass , that it was compast ; writs were actually gone out , and elections begun , which were not stopt by evil counsellors . but these evil counsellors apprehended , they should be brought to an account , for their plots and conspiracies against the protestant religion , and have endeavoured , under the specious pretence of liberty of conscience , to sow divisions among them , between the church of england , and dissenters , that , by their natural quarrellings , they might bring about their designs , both in the election of members , and in the parliament it self . why then they design'd a parliament should sit , as evil as they were , and as much as they feared to be called to account . but if liberty of conscience be a plot against protestants , his highness must needs be of it himself , who declared for it . must we believe the same thing , practised by his majesty , will divide protestants , and by his highness establish a good agreement ? then the asking people their opinion beforehand , the charters , popish sheriffs and mayors , are brought in again , only to conclude at last , that no parliament can be lawful , for which the elections and returns are made by papists ; and therefore , as long as the authority and magistracy are in such hands , it is not p●ssible to have any lawful parliament . how ill do they understand the law of england , who penn'd this declaration ? every body knows , that elections are made by freeholders and freemen , not by sheriffs and mayors , and that a papist may elect as legally as any body , and make a return , if he be in office , as valid . had his highness suffered the elections to go on , we should have thought the parliament very lawful ; but shall not think so of a parliament made by the law of arms , where we are chosen , and sit with the sword at our throats , we think , there is neither legality nor freedom ; and that , when for a remedy of the impossibility of a lawful parliament , there is prescribed an impossibility that it should be lawful , very ill state-doctors have been called to council . the declaration crowns all with the birth of the prince of wales , of which , it says , that great and violent presumptions induce his highness to believe , that these evil councellors have published , the queen hath brought forth a son , in order to their ill designs ; and that not only his highness himself , but all the good subjects of these kingdoms , do vehemently suspect , that the pretended prince of wales was not born by the queen . such things to come abroad , with the name of the prince of orange to them ! and yet it is but too true , that there is a great deal of violence and vehemence in these presumptions and suspicions ; so true , that there is in reality nothing else , neither presumption , nor suspicion , indeed . and this violence , and this vehemence , must needs be infinitely great ; which can pretend suspicions , not only utterly void of all reason , but so palpably against it , that , quite contrary to what the declaration avers , there is neither a good subject , nor a sensible man , who harbours any doubt in the case . and this consideration , i suppose , has so long delayed doing any thing for publick satisfaction . as it was not indeed very proper for the king to regard idle fictions , invented and spread by purely obstinate malice : but now he has caused the business to be scanned , if we should take toy , and suspect without reason . i believe , it would trouble his highness , to clear his own or the princesses birth , as the birth of the prince of wales is cleared : and guess , they would entertain the slightest suspicion with an impatient scorn , and not allow the greatest vehemence in the world to suspect them into the children of other mothers , than the princess of orange , and duchess of york . but , as much to seek as we were , for a reason in all alledg'd before , this questioning the birth of the immediate successor , speaks plain . we know now , what brought his highness hither ▪ and can give a shrewd guess at what will follow on his success : for if they be the only good subjects , who believe not we have a prince of wales , they are like to be in a bad condition , who have either sense enough to perceive plain truths , or conscience enough to boggle at perjury , or memory enough to remember , they have sworn fidelity to the king , and his lawful successors . beginning now to wind up , his highness minds us of the great interest which the princess royal and himself have in this matter , and of their right to the succession , such as all the world knows : of the endeavours we used for the vnited provinces , when they were invaded , in a most unjust war in : of the particular esteem and affection , which the english nation has ever testified to both their highnesses : and therefore cannot excuse himself from espousing our interests ; to the doing of which , he is earnestly solicited by a great many lords , both spiritual and temporal , by many gentlemen , and subjects of all ranks . in all which , the only thing we can understand , is , the succession , to which , their highnesses do severally stand i● that degree , which all the world knows . but there is not a man in the world , who can understand , how those , who espouse the interest of another , because they have an interest of their own , espouse any interest but their own ; nor could his highness have told us more plainly , that he comes for himself , not us ; that all alledged besides , is only for fashion-sake ; and that we might sink or swim , for any care of his , if he had not been concerned himself . again , because we did what we could for the dutch , when they were unjustly invaded , no body can understand , how gratitude obliges them to invade us unjustly themselves ; nor how the particular affection and esteem , which we have ever testified to their highnesses , should deserve , that he should become our enemy , and ruine us for our pains . as much esteem and affection , as the great qualities of his highness are like to meet every where , he will please to be informed , that the strongest band of ours , is his alliance to the royal bloud ; and must pardon the english , if they love not a man who hates our king , the very king , whose sister and daughter tyed our affections to him : then , who can understand , how making war upon us is espousing our interest , our religion , our laws , our liberties and properties ; our interest , and we , beseech his highness to have a little mercy on us , and not oblige us to believe , he espouses our interest , by subjecting all we have to the mercy of a lawless sword. he must likewise pardon us , if we believe not on his word , that many lords , many of the gentry , and of all ranks , are traytors , which , if it were true , he rewards them betimes , and by exposing them to be punished by others , till it be seasonable to do it himself , informs them what they must expect at last . but the spiritual lords and their principles are well known , and his highness has experience what they are , in the first bishop near whom he approached . he is like to meet the temporal lords , whom age keeps not at home , or the king's service employs not elsewhere , with the gentry , and all ranks , in the field , and be better informed from themselves , that the english are no traytors , and will take care to wipe off this aspersion from the nation . alas ! how little does his highness know us ! many an unwary , and many a heated man , speaks treason here , who is , for all that , honest at heart , and will make it well appear he is , when there is occasion . but , therefore it is that his highness hath thought fit to go over to england , and carry with him a force sufficient by the blessing of god to defend him from the violence of evil counsellors . unintelligible language of declarations of war ! to invade us is called defending himself , and this where there is no fear of an assault , or any danger , save from that very force which he must needs bring to defend him . for without it , his single name , not guarded so much as by a footman , had found security , and veneration all england over . after this true account ●f inducing reasons , ( reasons , if it please his penmen , for nothing looks like a reason but one . viz. interest ) his highness thinks sit to declare his intentions . as if there needed a declaration to inform us what pikes and muskets intend . an army intends nothing but to master where it comes , the very same which the saxons and normans , and all invaders from the beginning of the world to this day , intended . but his design is a free and lawful parliament : and for a preparative , the annulling of new , and returning of old charters , particularly that of the city of london : restoring of former magistrates ; addressing writs a proper officers ; and suffering note to chuse , or be chosen , but such as are qualified by law. a man no wiser than i , would think , that if his highness ▪ designed nothing but this , he might very well have staid at home . for all these preparatives were , and he knew were , made , before he went aboard . and a free and lawful parliament had now been sitting , or ready of sit , if he would have let it . without more ado , it is palpably impossible his highness should come only to do over again , what he knew was done to his hand ; only to get us a parliament , which he will not suffer us to have , and this pretence must of necessity cover some design thought less taking with englishmen . this parliament his highness declares shall meet and sit in full freedom , but perhaps not act so . for the two houses must , it seems , prepare laws to confirm and execute the test ; for the security and maintenance of the protestant religion ; and for a good agreement between the church of england and all protestant dissenters ; and covering such from persecution as will live peaceably , not excepting papists . but how will his highness keep his word , if a parliament should happen to think the test needs no confirmation , nor religion more laws than are already , nor that any laws can make the church of england and dissenters agree ? however it be , they love to have it in their power to confirm , or alter , or abrogate , or let the laws alone as they are , according as the good of the nation shall require , without having their task prescribed . they take themselves for master-workmen , and who can cut out their work themselves ▪ not for bare journeymen , to make up work cut out by others . but i would gladly know , what protestant religion means in the mouth of his highness . in the language of the country where he was born and bred , right protestancy signifies presbytery , and he is said to be surrounded by men who so understand it , whereof some perhaps might have a hand in this declaration . as the religion , or church established by law , had been easily said , if it had been meant ; to my thinking the suspicion is vehement , that this free parliament , with a holland trumpet in the speakers chair , is to set up presbytery ; at least , i am very sure it must , if that trumpet sound it ; and there is but too much reason to expect it will sound here as it does at home , especially when there is not the least intimation to the contrary . the pretended invitation of the spiritual lords will be well rewarded with a good agreement with their dissenting masters , and being covered from persecution , provided they hold themselves content , and live peaceably . but the comfort is , nothing can better shew their invitation is but pretended . to this fully free parliament his highness will refer the inquiry into the birth of the pretended prince of wales , to vote him , i suppose , a prince prettyman , the son of nobody . for we know what the references of conquerors signifie , and what the freedom of their arbitrators . but it is time to leave talking , when such things are said , and think of other weapons than pens . would his highness be content to refer his own birth ? for though there be nothing of suspicion in it , yet the nothing on his side is nearer to something than on the side of the prince of wales . for one may suspect that he who talks at this rate , was not born of an english mother . but after all , there wants something still . his highness designs new laws ; but acts , barely prepared , have not the perfection of laws , suppose the king should prove resty somewhere , and advise upon it ? why , his highness has found an expedient . he will himself concur in every thing that may procure the peace ( witness his war ) and happiness of the nation , that is , just what he pleases . he will take care that a parliament shall be called in scotland . he will study to bring ireland into a state that the settlement be observed , and the protestant and british interest secured . and as soon as the state of the nation will admit , he promises to send back his foreign forces ; and , in the mean time invites and requires all peers , and all persons whatsoever to c●me and assist him , against all such as shall endeavour to ●ppose him . that is in short , he will be king of england . for none pass bills into acts by their concurrence , but kings . to take care for calling parliaments ; and for the settlement and security of the kings dominions , belongs to none but the king ; and he who means to send his forces away , certainly means to stay himself . and that we may not be ignorant in what condition he means to stay , he takes the king upon him by way of anticipation . for no body can require the assistance of all his subjects of all sorts , but the king. so many stories in the declaration of a prince , which are the entertainment of our coffee-houses , and which we now perceive from whence they came ; so many dismal idea's of our misery , who live a great deal more at ease th●n they do in holland ; so much trouble and so much charge purely in ch●●y to our neighbours , for no other design than to have a free parliament ass●mbled , sounded untowardly , and we could not forbear to suspect some de●ign ●t bottom , though we had not found it own'd . but , if he had not told us ●o himself , we should hardly have suspected , that interest could have drawn the prince of orange to dethrone the king , unprince his son , and seize the crown for himself . but now we understand his highness we will ende●vour his highness shall understand us , and our protestant 〈…〉 better than he does . we love our princes , for all we can be angry , and talk more freely than they dare in other countreys , and will sooner dye at their feet , than strangers shall injure , much less dethrone , them . we love our country , and we love our honour , and before england shall become the prey of holland , will take order they shall find nothing in it , but grass and trees , no men for them to use as they did at amboina . we profess a protestant religion , which teaches us , not to rise in arms against our king , by whomsoever we are required , but true loyalty and fidelity to him and his lawful successors , and to defend him against all attempts whatsoever against his crown , person , or dignity , and the world shall see we are no bad scholars of so good a mistress . in a word , we know and we honour william henry prince of orange , but we know not william henry king of england otherwise than for an enemy . animadversions upon the additional declarations of his highness . the premises are so very plain , that his highness thought it necessary to take notice of them himself . against the apprehensions of a conquest , he alledges the disproportion of his forces , and the joyning of english with him . that disproportion is not his fault , and would have been , tho he had brought holland it self in his fleet , and all the men in it . but can he not design a conquest for all that ? we were conquered by the normans , and bare twelve thousand suedes bid fair for the conquest of germany , as little proportion as normandy had to england , or sweden to germany . we can conquer our selves , tho holland cannot ; which if we do , we conquer for him under whom we fight . for the general wins the battel , who ever fight it . and this of necessity his highness must design , unless he design to be beaten . for victory and conquest are but two names for one thing . neither is he a man to be at all this ado to make a conquest , and not make the most of it when he was done ; neither can he do otherwise tho he would . for as he has no right to act here by law , he must of necessity act by right of conquest . and we humbly beseech him not to declare us out of common sense , and into a belief that he is not capable of intending what we see he is actually doing . but enemies to their country , of all men in the world , one would least expect should be magnified for integrity , and zeal , and constant fidelity , and who cannot joyn in a wicked attempt of conquest , to make void their own lawful titles to their honours , estates , and interests . must we believe again they cannot joyn in an attempt in which his highness himself tells us they do joyn ? nor void their titles , when they actually did void them the very moment of the first overt act , which made it known they thought of that wicked attempt ? and then the fidelity , the integrity , and zeal of treason , is unintelligible language in england . but i have already observed , that his highness speaks in the language of a protestant religion which is not established here , and in likelihood never will by a parliament truly free . the kings concessions are treated as a seeming relief ; pretended acts of grace ; an imperfect redress , upon which no weight is to be laid , because solemn promises have been broken ; a plain confession of the violation set forth in the declaration , and defective because they may again be taken up . his highness takes care that nothing shall be replyed upon breach of promise , by giving no instance where it was broken . but to my grief here is greater work in hand . it had been shorter , and not much plainer said , i am resolved at any rate to come , and be king. for as the pretence of the declaration was , that the king had taken up some things , and the pretence of the addition , that he has laid them down , 't is palpable that the expedition was unalterably resolved , without any care , or thought of the good of england , or its concerns , save only to borrow a pretence which might contribute to the success of the expedition , and to which do , or undo was all a case ; and that nothing shall satisfie him but laying down the crown , nor that neither , because it may happen to be taken up again . and yet his highness declares again , that he will refer all to a free lawful parliament . happy we , if he would . if an english parliament were to judge , whether foreign force be lawful ? whether it be integrity , zeal , and fidelity to abet it ? whether it can be without a design of conquest , and conquest without enslaving this nation to the arbitrary pleasure of the conqueror ? and twenty such things , which must needs enter into the number of the referred all. but to talk of referring all to a parliament , and at the same time refer all to the sword ; to talk of the freedom of a parliament , which cannot vote nor debate , nor so much as make a motion , but in danger of their lives , is purely talk , and not like to ingratiate his quarrel to a nation not altogether senseless , as much as his highness seems to think it is , when we see the king did call a free parliament , that is , actually did refer all to it , ( for calling one is referring all to it , which it thinks fit to take into consideration ) and that his highness would not let it sit , we need no declarations to inform us which of the two is truly willing to refer all to a parliament . two letters , said to be annexed to the declaration in holland , and addrest to the seamen and land soldiers carry likewise the name of his highness . in which they are first cajolled with the title of friend ; as if they were men to be cajolled into a friendship , with the enemies of their prince and country , and then endeavoured to be debaucht into his service , by motives the most unsuitable to english natures that were ever found out , danger from papists , duty to god , and fear of falling into his hands . i perceiv'd we were taken for fools before , must we be taken for cowards too , men to be frighted even with the sound of danger ▪ his highness is like to be informed one day , that the english fear not his arms , much less the papists , who tho they were all embodied , are not near so many soldiers ; no tho it were less by as many papists as are in it . and yet there are more holland than english papists in the field . moreover , that they know their duty to god obliges them to be true to their prince , and that there is no honour in treason . lastly , that his men may fear to fall into their hands , they fear not to fall into his . it is said besides , that papists have sworn the ruin of the protestant religion , a piece of news which his highness would much oblige the whole nation to verifie . let the wicked men be but named , and convicted , and the next gallows or tree would save the trouble of parliaments and references ▪ lastly , the soldiers ▪ that they may not be instruments to defend their prince , and save their country and themselves from slavery , are desired to believe they are the instruments to introduce popery . when they are , they will pray his majesty to dispense with their service . but they find 〈◊〉 popery in fighting for the king , their country , and the laws , against a man who usurps the crown first , and then would cajole them to fix it . for besides , what has been observed already , he writes in the style of a king , trusty and well beloved , and joyns the supporters of england to his arms , in a manner not allowable in heraldry , even tho the princess royal were queen . but where we cannot find good reasons , we must take up with bad pretences . finis . the commissioners proposals to his royal highness the prince of orange with his highnes's answer. halifax, george savile, marquis of, - . approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page images. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

and the free exercise of our religion for some time interrupted . a request of this nature might perhaps look like a distrust of your majesties care of us , and seem to contradict the glorious design of your coming into this kingdom . we are sensible that the generous end of your majesties presence is to rescue us from the oppressions and tyranny of popery ; and are well assured , that the same paternal affection , that moved your majesty to pity our distress , will still protect us now we are deliver'd . we come rather to bless god as the author of our deliverance , and your majesty as the happy instrument raised up by his providence for the effecting it ; to express our gratitude and duty to your majesty , who has a double title to our services , not only as our king , but as our gracious benefactor and deliverer : to pray for the success of your majesties forces , for the consummation of that good work that you have with so much personal hazard undertaken : that you may carry your victorious arms into other countreys , where the crys and the groans , and the oppressions of the afflicted protestants , are as great as they have been here ; that god would be an helmet of salvation to you in the day of battel , and deal with you as he did with nebuchadnezzar , when he promis'd him the kingdom of egypt , for his hard service against tyrus : may he likewise recompense your hard labour in this kingdom , with the addition of another that is far more valuable : and may you prove as happy and successful in the succouring of others , as you have been of the poor afflicted people of this kingdom . his majesty's answer . i am come hither to deliver you from the tyranny of popery and slavery , to protect the protestant religion , and restore you to your liberties and properties ;
