Thomas Pride at his late purge thought convenient to leave sitting at Westminster who pretendedly stile themselves the Parliament of England, intrusted and authorized by the consent of all the people thereof, whose Representatives by election they are; although they are never able to produce one bit of a Law, or any piece of a Commission to prove, that all the people of England, or one quarter, tenth, hundred, or thousand part of them authorized Thomas Pride, with his Regiment of Souldiers, to chuse them a Parliament, as indeed he hath de facto done by this pretended mock-ParliamentAnd therefore it cannot properly be called the Nations or Peoples Parliament, but Col.

Regall Tyrannie discovered : Or, A Discourse, shewing that all lawfull in- stituted power by God amongst men, is by common agreement, and mutual con- sent. Which power ought always to be exercised for the good, benefit, and welfare of the Trusters, and never ought otherwise to be administredWhich, whensoever it is, it is justly resistable and revokeable; It be- ing against the light of Nature and Reason, and the end wherefore God endowed Man with understanding, for any sort or generation of men to give so much po- wer into the hands of any man or men whatsoever, as to enable them to destroy them or to suffer such a kind of power to be exercised over them, by any man or men, that shal assume it unto himself, either by the sword, or any other kind of way. In which is also punctually declared, The Tyrannie of the Kings of England, from the dayes of William the Invader and Robber, and Tyrant, alias the Conqueror, to this present King Charles, Who is plainly proved to be worse, and more tyrannicall then any of his Predecessors, and deserves a more severe punishment from the hands of this present Parliament, then either of the dethroned Kings, Edw. 2. or Rich. 2. had from former Parliaments; which they are bound by duty and oath, without equivocation or colusion to in- flict upon him, He being the greatest Delinquent in the three Kingdoms, and the head of all the rest. Out of which is drawn a Discourse, occasioned by the Tyrannie and Injustice in- flicted by the Lords, upon that stout-faithful-lover of his Country, and constant Sufferer for the Liberties thereof, Lieut. Col. John Lilburn, now prisoner in the Tower. In which these 4. following Positions are punctually handled. 1. That if it were granted that the Lords were a legall Jurisdiction, and had a judica- tive power over the Commons; yet the manner of their dealing with Mr. Lilburn, was, and is illegall and unjust. 2. That the Lords by right are no Judicature at all. 3. That by Law and Right they are no Law makers. 4. That by Law and Right it is not in the power of the King, nor in the power of the House of Commons it selfe, to delegate the legislative power, either to the Lords divided, or conjoyned; no, nor to any other person or persons whatsoever. Vnto which is annexed a little touch upon some palbable miscarriages, of some rot- ten Members of the House of Commons; which House, is the absolute sole law- making, and law-binding Interest of England. ...
