The Legall Fundamentall Liberties of the People of England,
Revived, Asserted, and Vindicated. Or an Epistle written the eighth
day of June 1649, by Lieut. Colonel John Lilburn (Arbitrary and
Aristocratical prisoner in the Tower of London) to Mr. William
Lenthall, Speaker to the remainder of those few Knights, Citizens,
and Burgesses that Col. Thomas Pride at his late purge thought
convenient to leave sitting at Westminster (as most fit for his and
his Masters designes, to serve their ambitious and tyrannical ends,
to destroy the good old Laws, Liberties, and Customs of England,
the badges of our freedom (as the Declaration against the King, of
the 17. of March 1648, pag. 23. calls them) and by force of arms to
rob the people of their lives, estates, and properties, and subject
them to perfect vassalage and slavery, as he cleerly evinceth in his
present case &c. they have done) who (and in truth no otherwise)
pretendedly stile themselves (the Conservators of the peace of
England, or) the Parliament of England, intrusted and authorised
by the consent of all the people thereof, whose Representatives
by election (in their Declaration last mentioned, _pag._ 27. they
say) 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 authorised _Thomas Pride_, with his Regiment of Souldiers,
to chuse them a Parliament, as indeed he hath _de facto_ done by
this pretended mock-Parliament: And therefore it cannot properly be
called the Nations or Peoples Parliament, but Col. Pride's and his
associates, whose really it is; who although they have beheaded the
King for a Tyrant, yet walk in his oppressingest steps, if not worse
and higher.
