A Short Supply or Amendment TO THE PROPOSITIONS FOR THE New Representative . FOr as much as the Members of this present Parliament of England have undergone great danger of their lives and Estates , and many of them taken excessive pains and care , and divers of their Fellow-Members lost their lives for the Preservation of the honest People of this Nation from utter ruine and destruction , and gaining their just Rights and Liberties , and setling the People of this Nation in a Government of a Republique , for the enjoyment of the same for ever , for the quiet not only of those who may fear , but which shall hope of much more bloodshed , Combustions , or Alterations , but that all parties may acquiesce in this peaceable Government in all future times , without doubting , or expectance of any other by any Monarch whatsoever ; but that all Tyranny shall be for ever hereafter turned and kept out of doors , and that all parties may praise our great God for this our Miraculous Deliverance from Tyranny and Oppression , and pray for the prosperity of those by whom he out of his good will and pleasure hath wrought this our great and wonderful Freedom . And for that , upon or by a New Representative , if the most just Members ( which have brought to pass this most peaceable Government , which is most easie to be continued , for the keeping of the People from Tyranny & Oppression ) should be neglected , ( though some of the Plebeans may think amiss of divers of them for concealing several things from them , which they have thought to be for their weal , the sudden revealing of which might have been to their woe ) danger might happen . For Remedy in this behalf , these Propositions following be proposed and tendered , to the same Consideration and intent as the said recited Propositions are . I. THat every Member of this present Parliament , now sitting or acting for the benefit and support of this Common-wealth of England ( other then such who by this present Parliament shall not be thought fit to continue without a new Election ) may sit , vote and act for and in the next Parliament or Representative . II. And that ( for every County , City , Burrough , Town Corporate , or other place , having , or which shall have , Power or Authority of electing Members of Parliament or Representers , and no Member or Representer being now so sitting , or in action for the same ) this now present Parliament may send to the Sheriffs , Bayliffs , Barons , or other head Officers of the same respectively , the names of four persons for every such place which have power so to elect or choose two such Members or Representers . III. And that every such Sheriff and Officer before mentioned respectively shall or may publish the same openly in his County , or other such place , whereof such respective Sheriff , or other such Officer , be or shall be chief head officer or officers . IV. And that the Inhabitants of every such County , City , Burrough , or other place before mentioned , shall or may so write or print one of such four for one , and that he with another of such Member or Representer as such Inhabitants shall in like manner choose , write or print , as is mentioned in the Propositions before recited , shall and may be Members of the next Parliament or Representative . V. And that some of the chief Commanders of this present Army of this Nation may nominate eight such persons by the Parliament , so to be sent , out of which the same may so send the names of the before mentioned four persons . VI . And that according to the same number and proportion for every respective County , City , or other place before mentioned ( which have or shall have power or authority to elect or choose more or less for such Members or Representers ) the same course may be taken , as before is mentioned . VII . And that in all Parliaments or Representatives hereafter , the fourth or fifth part , or some other number by this Parliament to be thought convenient , shall and may remain and continue as Members or Representers for the then next Parliament or Representative , unless they be or shall be voted out by any Parliament or Representative sitting , or to be sitting , and that then the Inhabitants of such place for which they were or shall be chosen , may ( as is mentioned in the said recited Proposals ) new elect and choose , and send in such manner and form as is mentioned in those Propositions . In the Propositions before recited , in pag. 6. l. 9. is the word [ after ] where the word [ before ] should be ; and in pag 10. li. 30. is omitted the word [ not , ] and in pag. 13. li. 14. is also omitted the word [ be , ] and divers other litteral faults , which is easily imagined what they should be ; all which are the neglect of the Printer , and therefore it s not necessary to write further against or concerning the same . Edmund Leach . These present Proposals are to be sold by Lodowick Lloyd , and the before-recited Proposals by him , William Lee , Lawrence Blaiklock , and Gabriel Bedel in Fleet-street , and Lawrence Chapman near the Savoy .
