Here follows ftill farther proof of it, as well as of his violating the privi- leges of the members of that mod illuftrious body. Soon after the parliament was diffblved, his majefty publifhed a declaration to all his loving fubjects, of the caufes which moved him to diflblve the laft parliament. In this declaration he treats with great feverity of language his former parliaments ; fhews the end he had in view in calling this laft, even the raifing money to fupport the army to be railed againft... the Scots ; his willingnefs to have redrefled their grievances, even before they had given him a fupply, if the great neceflity of his occafions would have permitted; the neglect of the commons to give him content, notwithstanding they were prefted to do it by himfelf and the lords, and that he had declared he would afterwards redrefs their grievances : I fay, after having fet forth thefe things, he obferves, * Thofe ill * aftedied members of the houfe of commons, inftead ' of an humble and dutiful way of prefenting their ' grievances to his majefty, have taken upon them to be ' the guiders and directors in all matters that concern his 1 majeftie's government, both temporal and ecclefiafti- cal : and (as if kings were bound to give an account * of their regal actions, and of their manner of govern- ' ment, to their fubjedts aflembled in parliament) they ' have, in a very audacious and inlblent way, entered * into examination and cenfuring of the prefent govern- ' ment, traduced his majeftie's adminiftration of juftice, ' rendered, as much as in them lay, odious to the reft of ' his majeftie's fubjects, not only the officers and minif- ' ters of ftate, but even his majeftie's very government, * which hath been fo juft and gracious, that never did * this or any other nation enjoy more bleflings and hap- * pinefs, than hath been by all his majeftie's fubjedls en- * joyed, ever fince his majeftie's accefs to the crown: * nor did this kingdom ever lb flourifh in trade and com- 1 merce as at this prefent, or partake of more peace and ' plenty 7/^LIFEo/CHARLES I.
