Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Peoples Ancient and Just Liberties: Asserted, in the Trial of William Penn and William Mead, at the Sessions Held at the Old-Baily in London, the First, Third, Fourth and Fifth of Sept; 70; Against the Most Arbittary Procedure of the Court, 1670 If ever it were time to speak, or write, tis now, so many strange Occurrances, requiring both. How much thou art concerned in this ensuing Tryal (where not only the Prisoners, but the Fundamental Laws of England) have been most Arbitrarily Arraigned, Read, and thou mayst plainly judge. Liberty of Conscience, is counted a Pretence for Rebellion, and Religious Assemblies, Routs, and Riots; and the Defenders of both, are by them, reputed Factious and disaffected. Magna Charta, is Magnaf - with the Recorder of London; and to demand Right an affront to the Court. Will and Power are their great Charter, but to call for Englands, is a Crime, incurring the penalty of their Bale-Dock, and Nasty-hole, nay, the menace of a Gag, and Iron Shackles too. The Jury (though proper Judges) of Law and Fact) they would have over-ruled in both, as if their Verdict signified no more, then to eccho back the illegal charge of the Bench; and because their courage, and honesty did more then hold pace, with the threat and abuse of those, who sate as Judges, (after two dayes and two nights restraint for a Verdict) in the end were fined and imprisoned, for giving it. O! what monstrous, aid illegal proceedings are these? Who reasonably can call his Coat his own? When Property, is made subservient to the Will and Interest of his Judges; or, who can truly esteem himself a Free man? When all Pleas for liberty are esteemed Sedition, and the Laws, that give, and maintain them, so many insignificant pieces of formality.
