for said, and char denyall of any ground of distinction by voluntary
discrimination admined against your selves, should have
made us in such manners no examise our[nl]own judgement and power
in the case; so you having since by your Resolutions of the 12 and
13 of December last, hee many of those We es; (where in chiefly
the publike interest hath been of late desired) to be Thomasrable
and destructive: and having admitted the entering dissents against
the Vote of December the last, where in the will of all the
rest seemes comprehended and closed up (as farre as God would
suffer it to proceed,) and many faithfull Members having thereupon
publikcly declared, and entred their dissents from the same; By
which means there are now clearer grounds of discrimination begun
amongst your selves, and a competent number of Members, of
whom by their dissents registred, we can publikely take notice of
men standing entire to the publike trust, and in whose judgements
we may repose: We shall therefore henceforth forbear to proceed
any further in the exclusion of any upon our own judgement or information
gained from without, and shall refer to the knowledge
and judgement of those whose dissents from that Vote already are,
or hereafter shall be entred, both to consider what other Members
have stood clear from the series of those corrupt Councels; you
have so declared against, and who have been notoriously guilty
thereof, and accordingly to determine which shall be readmitted
as having kept to their trust, and which excluded, as having diserted
the same, But wee most earnestly desire, as you tender the
good and quiet of the Kingdome, with the easing the burthens, and
ending the troubles thereof, and would for the time this Parliament
shall continue, prevent an irrecoverable relapse of all things
into their former miserable condition, and avoid the number our
evils and endlesse troubles, which the renewed prevailing of the
same corrupt Councels, or but of tike divisions and unsetlednesse
in your Councels, would evidently produce; that therefore you
would resolve to exclude henceforth from the house, and make the
stricktest caution, and provision, to keep out all such who are known
to have carried on, or to be guilty of that series of corrupt Votes
which you have so justly branded, as aforesaid, and that none may
be readmitted amongst you, who shall not cither by their own protests,
