Hollis , Sir Arthur Haslerige , M. Pym , M. Hampden , and M. Strode , Members of the House of Commons , upon Munday the 3. of this instant January , by colour of His Majesties Warrant have been sealed up by Sir William Kilegrey , and Sir William Flemen and others ; which is not only against the Priviledge of Parliament , but the common Liberty of every Subject : Which said Members afterwards , the same day were under the like colour , by Serjeant Frances , one of His Majesties Serjeants at Arms , contrary to all former Presidents and Priviledges of Parliaments demanded of the Speaker , sitting in the House of Commons to be delivered unto him , that he might Arrest them of High Treason : And whereas afterwards the next day His Majesty in His Royall Person came to the said House attended with a great multitude of men armed in warlike manner , with Halberts , Swords , and Pistolls , who came up to the very door of the house , and placed themselves there , and in other places and passages neer to the said house , to the great terrour and disturbance of the Members thereof , then sitting , and according to their dutie , in a peaceable and orderly manner , treating of the great Affairs of England and Ireland : And his Majesty having placed himself in the Speakers Chair , demanded of them the Persons of the said Members to be delivered unto him , which is a high Breach of the Rights and Priviledges of Parliament , and inconsistent with the Liberties , and Freedom thereof . And whereas afterwards his Majesty did issue forth severall Warrants to divers Officers , under his own hand , for the apprehension of the Persons of the said Members , which by Law he cannot do , there being not all this time , any Legall charge or Accusation , or due Processes of Law issued against them , nor any pretence of charge made known to that house ; all which are against the Fundamentall Liberties of the Subject , and the Rights of Parliament . Whereupon we are necessitated , according to our duty , to declare , That if any Person shall arrest M. Hollis , Sir Arthur Haslerige , M. Pym , M. Hampden , and M. Strode , or any of them , or any other Member of Parliament , by pretence or colour of any Warrant issuing out from the King only , is guilty of the Breach of the Liberties of the Subject , and of the Priviledge of Parliament , and a publike enemy to the Common-wealth . And that the Arresting of the said Members , or any of them , or of any othér Member of Parliament , by any Warrant whatsoever , without a Legall proceeding against them , and without consent of that house , whereof such Person is a Member , is against the Liberty of the Subject , and a Breach of Priviledge of Parliament ; And the Person which shall Arrest any of these Persons , or any other Member of the Parliament , is declared a publike enemy of the Common-wealth . Notwithstanding all which we think fit further to declare , that we are so farre from any endeavour to protect any of our Members , that shall be in due manner prosecuted according to the Laws of the Kingdom , and the Rights and Priviledges of Parliament for Treason , or any other misdemeanor , That none shall be more ready and willing then we our selves , to bring them to their speedy , and due tryall , Being sensible that it equally imports us , as well to see Justice done against them that are criminous , as to defend the just Rights and Liberties of the Subjects , and Parliament of England . This is the true Copy which was sent from the Committee , to Joseph Hunscott for to print .
