 <br>
 February, in the year of our Lord 1688,[1] present unto their majesties,<br>
 <br>
 then called and known by the names and style of William and Mary, prince
 and<br>
 <br>
 princess of Orange, being present in their proper persons, a certain<br>
 <br>
 declaration in writing made by the said lords and commons in the words<br>
 <br>
 following, viz.: — [2]<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 Whereas the late King James II, by the assistance of divers evil<br>
 <br>
 counsellors, judges, and ministers employed by him, did endeavour to
 subvert<br>
 <br>
 and extirpate the Protestant religion and the laws and liberties of this<br>
 <br>
 kingdom by assuming and exercising a power of dispensing with and
 suspending<br>
 <br>
 of laws and the execution of laws without consent of parliament, by<br>
 <br>
 committing and prosecuting divers worthy prelates for humbly petitioning to<br>
 <br>
 be excused from concurring to the said assumed power, by issuing and
 causing<br>
 <br>
 to be executed a commission under the great seal for erecting a court
 called<br>
 <br>
 the court of commissioners for ecclesiastical causes, by levying money for<br>
 <br>
 and to the use of the crown by pretence of prerogative for other time and
 in<br>
 <br>
 other manner than the same was granted by parliament, by raising and
 keeping<br>
 <br>
 a standing army within this kingdom in time of peace without consent of<br>
 <br>
 parliament and quartering soldiers contrary to law, by causing several good<br>
 <br>
 subjects being Protestants to be disarmed at the same time when papists
 were<br>
 <br>
 both armed and employed contrary to law, by violating the freedom of<br>
 <br>
 election of members to serve in parliament, by prosecutions in the court of<br>
 <br>
 king's bench for matters and causes cognizable only in parliament, and by<br>
 <br>
 divers other arbitrary and illegal courses;<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 And whereas of late years partial, corrupt, and unqualified persons have<br>
 <br>
 been returned and served on juries in trials, and particularly divers
 jurors<br>
 <br>
 in trials for high treason, which were not freeholders, and excessive bail<br>
 <br>
 hath been required of persons committed in criminal cases to elude the<br>
 <br>
 benefit of the laws made for the liberty of the subjects, and excessive<br>
 <br>
 fines have been imposed, and illegal and cruel punishments inflicted, and<br>
 <br>
 several grants and promises made of fines or forfeitures before any<br>
 <br>
 conviction or judgment against the persons upon whom the same were to be<br>
 <br>
 levied, all which are utterly and directly contrary to the known laws and<br>
 <br>
 statutes and freedom of this realm;<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 And whereas the said late King James II having abdicated the government,
 and<br>
 <br>
 the throne being thereby vacant, his highness the prince of Orange (whom it<br>
 <br>
 hath pleased Almighty God to make the glorious instrument of delivering
 this<br>
 <br>
 kingdom from popery and arbitrary power) did, by the advice of the lords<br>
 <br>
 spiritual and temporal and divers principal persons of the commons, cause<br>
 <br>
 letters to be written to the lords spiritual and temporal being
 Protestants,<br>
 <br>
 and other letters to the several counties, cities, universities, boroughs,<br>
 <br>
 and Cinque Ports for the choosing of such persons to represent them as were<br>
 <br>
 of right to be sent to parliament to meet and sit at Westminster ... , in<br>
 <br>
 order to [provide] such an establishment as that their religion, laws, and<br>
 <br>
 liberties might not again be in danger of being subverted, upon which<br>
 <br>
 letters elections having been accordingly made:<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 And thereupon the said lords spiritual and temporal and commons, pursuant
 to<br>
 <br>
 their respective letters and elections being now assembled in a full and<br>
 <br>
 free representative of this nation, taking into their most serious<br>
 <br>
 consideration the best means for attaining the ends aforesaid, do in the<br>
 <br>
 first place (as their ancestors in like case have usually done) for the<br>
 <br>
 vindicating and asserting their ancient rights and liberties, declare that<br>
 <br>
 the pretended power of suspending of laws or the execution of laws by regal<br>
 <br>
 authority without consent of parliament is illegal; that the pretended
 power<br>
 <br>
 of dispensing with laws or the execution of laws by regal authority, as it<br>
 <br>
 hath been assumed and exercised of late, is illegal; that the commission
 for<br>
 <br>
 erecting the late court of commissioners for ecclesiastical causes and all<br>
 <br>
 other commissions and courts of like nature are illegal and pernicious;
 that<br>
 <br>
 levying money for or to the use of the crown by pretence of prerogative<br>
 <br>
 without grant of parliament, for longer time or in other manner than the<br>
 <br>
 same is or shall be granted, is illegal; that it is the right of the<br>
 <br>
 subjects to petition the king, and all commitments and prosecutions for
 such<br>
 <br>
 petitioning are illegal; that the raising or keeping a standing army within<br>
 <br>
 the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with consent of parliament, is<br>
 <br>
 against law; that the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for
 their<br>
 <br>
 defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law; that election
 of<br>
 <br>
 members of parliament ought to be free; that the freedom of speech and<br>
 <br>
 debates or proceedings in parliament ought not to be impeached or
 questioned<br>
 <br>
 in any court or place out of parliament; that excessive bail ought not to
 be<br>
 <br>
 required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments<br>
 <br>
 inflicted; that jurors ought to be duly impanelled and returned, and jurors<br>
 <br>
 which pass upon men in trials for high treason ought to be freeholders;
 that<br>
 <br>
 all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons<br>
 <br>
 before conviction are illegal and void; and that, for redress of all<br>
 <br>
 grievances and for the amending, strengthening, and preserving of the laws,<br>
 <br>
 parliaments ought to be held frequently.<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 And they do claim, demand, and insist upon all and singular the premises as<br>
 <br>
 their undoubted rights and liberties, and that no declarations, judgments,<br>
 <br>
 doings, or proceedings to the prejudice of the people in any of the said<br>
 <br>
 premises ought in any wise to be drawn hereafter into consequence or<br>
 <br>
 example. To which demand of their rights they are particularly encouraged
 by<br>
 <br>
 the declaration of his highness the prince of Orange, as being the only<br>
 <br>
 means for obtaining a full redress and remedy therein. Having therefore an<br>
 <br>
 entire confidence that his said highness the prince of Orange will perfect<br>
 <br>
 the deliverance so far advanced by him and will still preserve them from
 the<br>
 <br>
 violation of their rights which they have here asserted and from all other<br>
 <br>
 attempts upon their religion, rights, and liberties, the said lords<br>

 <br>

 premises thereunto belonging and appertaining, shall be and continue to<br>
 <br>
 their said majesties and the survivor of them during their lives and the<br>

 <br>
 exercise of the regal power and government be only in and executed by his<br>
 <br>
 majesty in the names of both their majesties during their joint lives; and<br>
 <br>
 after their deceases the said crown and premises shall be and remain to the<br>
 <br>
 heirs of the body of her majesty, and, for default of such issue, to her<br>
 <br>
 royal highness the princess Anne of Denmark and the heirs of her body and,<br>
 <br>
 for default of such issue, to the heirs of the body of his said majesty.
 And<br>
 <br>
 thereunto the lords spiritual and temporal and commons do, in the name of<br>
 <br>
 all the people aforesaid, mostly humbly and faithfully submit themselves,<br>
 <br>
 their heirs, and posterities forever; and do faithfully promise that they<br>
 <br>
 will stand to maintain and defend their said majesties, and also the<br>

 (B) Mutiny Act (1689)<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 An act for punishing officers or soldiers who shall mutiny or desert their<br>
 <br>
 majesties' service. Whereas the raising or keeping a standing army within<br>
 <br>
 this kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with consent of parliament, is<br>
 <br>
 against law; and whereas it is judged necessary by their majesties and this<br>
 <br>
 present parliament that during this time of danger several of the forces<br>
 <br>
 which are now on foot should be continued and others raised for the safety<br>
 <br>
 of the kingdom ...; and whereas no man may be forejudged of life or limb,
 or<br>
 <br>
 subjected to any kind of punishment by martial law, or in any other manner<br>
 <br>
 than by the judgment of his peers and according to the known and
 established<br>
 <br>
 laws of this realm; yet nevertheless, it being requisite for retaining such<br>
 <br>
 forces as are or shall be raised during this exigence of affairs in their<br>
 <br>
 duty [that] an exact discipline be observed, and that soldiers who shall<br>
 <br>
 mutiny or stir up sedition or shall desert their majesties' service be<br>
 <br>
 brought to a more exemplary and speedy punishment than the usual forms of<br>
 <br>
 law will allow: be it therefore enacted ... that ... every person being in<br>
 <br>
 their majesties' service in the army and being mustered and in pay as an<br>
 <br>
 officer or soldier, who shall ... excite, cause, or join in any mutiny or<br>
 <br>
 sedition in the army, or shall desert their majesties' service in the army,<br>
 <br>
 shall suffer death or such other punishment as by a court-martial shall be<br>
 <br>
 inflicted.<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 And it is hereby further enacted and declared that their majesties, or the<br>
 <br>
 general of their army for the time being, may by virtue of this act have<br>
 <br>
 full power and authority to grant commissions to any lieutenants general or<br>
 <br>
 other officers, not under the degree of colonels, from time to time to call<br>
 <br>
 and assemble court-martials for punishing such offences as aforesaid. And
 it<br>
 <br>
 is hereby further enacted and declared that no court-martial, which shall<br>
 <br>
 have power to inflict any punishment by virtue of this act for the offences<br>
 <br>
 aforesaid, shall consist of fewer than thirteen, whereof none to be under<br>
 <br>
 the degree of captains.<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 Provided always that no field officer be tried by other than field
 officers;<br>
 <br>
 and that such court-martial shall have power and authority to administer an<br>
 <br>
 oath to any witness in order to the examination or trial of the offences<br>
 <br>
 aforesaid. Provided always that nothing in this act contained shall extend<br>
 <br>
 or be construed to exempt any officer or soldier whatsoever from the<br>
 <br>
 ordinary process of law. Provided always that this act or anything therein<br>
 <br>
 contained shall not ... extend to or concern any the militia forces of this<br>
 <br>
 kingdom. Provided also that this act shall continue and be in force until<br>
 <br>
 [10 November 1689] ... and no longer.... And no sentence of death shall be<br>
 <br>
 given against any offender in such case by any court-martial unless nine of<br>
 <br>
 the thirteen officers present shall concur therein. And if there be a<br>
 <br>
 greater number of officers present, then the judgment shall pass by the<br>
 <br>
 concurrence of the greater part of them....<br>

 (C) Coronation Oath Act (1689)<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 An act for establishing the coronation oath. Whereas, by the law and
 ancient<br>
 <br>
 usage of this realm, the kings and queens thereof have taken a solemn oath<br>
 <br>
 upon the Evangelists at their respective coronations to maintain the<br>
 <br>
 statutes, laws, and customs of the said realm, and all the people and<br>
 <br>
 inhabitants thereof in their spiritual and civil rights and properties;[4]<br>
 <br>
 but forasmuch as the oath itself on such occasion administered hath<br>
 <br>
 heretofore been framed in doubtful words and expressions with relation to<br>
 <br>
 ancient laws and constitutions at this time unknown: to the end thereof
 that<br>
 <br>
 one uniform oath may be in all times to come taken by the kings and queens<br>
 <br>
 of this realm, and to them respectively administered at the times of their<br>
 <br>
 ... coronation, may it please your majesties that it may be enacted, and be<br>
 <br>
 it enacted ... , that the oath herein mentioned and hereafter expressed<br>
 <br>
 shall and may be administered to their most excellent majesties King
 William<br>
 <br>
 and Queen Mary — whom God long preserve — at the time of their coronation,<br>
 <br>
 in the presence of all persons that shall be then and there present at the<br>
 <br>
 solemnizing thereof, by the archbishop of Canterbury or the archbishop of<br>
 <br>
 York, or either of them, or any other bishop of this realm whom the king's<br>
 <br>
 majesty shall thereunto appoint, and who shall be hereby thereunto<br>

 (E) Triennial Act (1694)[9]<br>

 <br>
 An act for the frequent meeting and calling of parliaments. Whereas, by the<br>
 <br>
 ancient laws and statutes of this kingdom, frequent parliaments ought to be<br>

 held; and whereas frequent and new parliaments tend very much to the happy<br>

 union and good agreement of the king and people: ... it is hereby declared<br>

 and enacted ... that from henceforth a parliament shall be holden once in<br>

 dissolution of this present parliament, and so from time to time forever<br>

 (F) Trials for Treason Act (1696)<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 An act for regulating of trials in cases of treason and misprision of<br>
 <br>
 treason. Whereas nothing is more just and reasonable than that persons<br>
 <br>
 prosecuted for high treason and misprision of treason ... should be justly<br>
 <br>
 and equally tried ...: be it enacted ... that ... all ... persons
 whatsoever<br>
 <br>
 that shall be accused and indicted for high treason, whereby any corruption<br>
 <br>
 of blood may ... be made to any such ... offenders or to any the ... heirs<br>
 <br>
 of any such ... offenders, or for misprision of such treason, shall have a<br>
 <br>
 true copy of the whole indictment, but not the names of the witnesses,<br>
 <br>
 delivered unto them ... five days at the least before ... they shall be<br>
 <br>
 tried for the same, whereby to enable them ... to advise with counsel<br>
 <br>
 thereupon, to plead and make their defence ...; and that every such person<br>
 <br>
 so accused and indicted ... shall be received and admitted to make his ...<br>
 <br>
 full defence by counsel learned in the law and to make any proof that he
 ...<br>
 <br>
 can produce by lawful ... witnesses.... And in case any person ... so<br>
 <br>
 accused or indicted shall desire counsel, the court before whom such person<br>
 <br>
 ... shall be tried ... is hereby authorized and required, immediately upon<br>
 <br>
 his ... request, to assign ... such ... counsel, not exceeding two, as the<br>
 <br>
 person or persons shall desire, to whom such counsel shall have free access<br>
 <br>
 at all seasonable hours — any law or usage to the contrary notwithstanding.<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 And be it further enacted that ... no person ... whatsoever shall be<br>
 <br>
 indicted, tried, or attainted of high treason ... but by and upon the oaths<br>
 <br>
 and testimony of two lawful witnesses ... , unless the party indicted and<br>
 <br>
 arraigned or tried shall willingly, without violence, in open court confess<br>
 <br>
 the same, or shall stand mute or refuse to plead.... And be it further<br>
 <br>
 enacted that no evidence shall be admitted or given of any overt act that
 is<br>
 <br>
 not expressly laid in the indictment....</font></p>

 (G) Civil List Act (1698)<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 An act for granting to his majesty a further subsidy of tunnage and
 poundage<br>
 <br>
 towards raising the yearly sum of £700,000 for the service of his majesty's<br>
 <br>
 household ... during his majesty's life. Your majesty's most dutiful and<br>

 loyal subjects, the commons of England in parliament assembled, being
 deeply<br>
 <br>
 sensible of the great blessings which, by the goodness of Almighty God, we<br>
 <br>
 ... do fully enjoy under your majesty's most auspicious government, and<br>
 <br>
 being desirous to make a grateful acknowledgment of your majesty's<br>

 resolved to increase your majesty's revenue ... and do give and grant ...<br>
 <br>
 the further rates, duties, and sums of money hereinafter mentioned; and do<br>
 <br>
 humbly beseech your majesty that it may be enacted, and be it enacted ... ,<br>
 <br>
 that, over and above all subsidies of tunnage and poundage ... and above
 all<br>
 <br>
 additional duties ... already due or payable ... , there shall be raised
 ...<br>
 <br>
 one other subsidy called tunnage ... and one further subsidy called<br>
 <br>
 poundage....<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 And whereas it is intended that the yearly sum of £700,000 shall be
 supplied<br>
 <br>
 to his majesty for the service of his household and family, and for other<br>
 <br>
 his necessary expenses and occasions, out of the hereditary rates, and<br>
 <br>
 duties of excise ... , and out of the moneys which ... shall arise by the<br>
 <br>
 further subsidies and duties hereby granted: be it therefore further
 enacted<br>
 <br>
 ... that, if the said ... revenues ... shall produce in clear money more<br>
 <br>
 than the yearly sum of £700,000 ... , then the overplus of such produce ...<br>
 <br>
 shall not be ... applied to any use ... without the authority of
 parliament.<br>

 (H) Act of Settlement (1701)<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 An act for the further limitation of the crown and better securing the<br>
 <br>
 rights and liberties of the subject. Whereas, in the first year of the
 reign<br>
 <br>
 of your majesty ... , an act of parliament was made entitled An Act for<br>
 <br>
 Declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject and for Settling the<br>
 <br>
 Succession of the Crown ...;[10] and it being absolutely necessary, for the<br>
 <br>
 safety, peace, and quiet of this realm, to obviate all doubts and<br>
 <br>
 contentions in the same by reason of any pretended titles to the crown, and<br>
 <br>
 to maintain a certainty in the succession thereof ...: therefore, for a<br>
 <br>
 further provision of the succession of the crown in the Protestant line ...<br>
 <br>
 , be it enacted and declared ... that the most excellent princess Sophia,<br>
 <br>
 electress and duchess dowager of Hanover, daughter of the most excellent<br>
 <br>
 princess Elizabeth, late queen of Bohemia, daughter of our late sovereign<br>
 <br>
 lord, King James I of happy memory, be and is hereby declared to be the

 <br>
 (no. 81B), her Act against Sectaries (no. Sir), the Second Conventicle Act<br>
 <br>
 of Charles II (see p. 553, n. 28), and four others. In order that "some
 ease<br>
 <br>
 to scrupulous consciences in the exercise of religion may be an effectual<br>
 <br>
 means to unite their majesties' Protestant subjects in interest and<br>
 <br>
 affection," it is provided that the enumerated laws shall not extend to any<br>
 <br>
 dissenter who shall take the oaths prescribed in the Bill of Rights (above,<br>
 <br>
 p. 602) and make the declaration prescribed in the Second Test Act (above,<br>
 <br>
 p. 557).<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>

 [7] The acts referred to above are respectively the Five-Mile Act (no.<br>
