‎England & Wales. Parliament.‎

‎An ordinance and declaration of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament. Allowing and authorizing any of his Majesties good and loyall subjects in the kingdome of England to furnish with all manner of warlike provision and send to sea what ships and pinnaces they shall thinke fit to make stay of all such supplyes as they shall seize upon by sea or land going to assist the rebels in Ireland.‎

‎London: Printed for John Wright 1642. 4to 19 cm 7.5". 8 pp. <br><br>First edition. This ordinance made provision for privateers to hinder aid reaching the Irish during the Rebellion of 1641 although the rebellion wasn't entirely quelled until Cromwell's New Model Army reconquered Ireland in 1653. The war was almost certainly the most destructive in Irish history and its abiding legacy was the wholesale transfer of land ownership and political power from the old Catholic elite to a Protestant one in part newly installed and in part pre-existing the war. The publisher of this wartime proclamation was an official printer for the Parliament of England and published several early newspapers and ballads. <br>    <br>    ESTC R19001; Wing rev. ed. E1765.

His Majesties declaration to all his loving subjects touching the causes & reasons that moved him to dissolve the two last parliaments. London: Pr. by the assigns of John Bill Thomas Newcomb & Henry Hills 1681. Folio. 10 2 pp.<br>    First editions of two significant documents one from Parliament and one from Charles II regarding the furor over the Exclusion Bill. In the first work the tone is indeed almost aggressively humble as per the title but the position is utterly unyielding: The Catholic Duke of York will not be accepted in the line of succession as Charles II's life will allegedly be in constant deadly danger as long as there is any possibility of "a Popish Successor" p. 135. In response to the "Humble Address" Charles dismissed the Parliament and called another which also refused to do his bidding after which he issued the second piece here — an attempt at justification which invokes the Fitzharris treason case.<br>    Provenance: These two copies were joined together by a contemporary reader who marked the recto of the printing permission of the first piece with "The Address" and the verso of the permission of the second piece that is that piece's final page with "The King's Declaration. This read in ye Parochial Church of Thrandeston May ye first Anno Domini 1681. Tho. Mael." Mael served as rector of Thrandeston from 1670 until his death in 1709. <br>    <br>    Humble Address: ESTC R228475; Nelson & Seccombe 647.49B. Declaration: Wing rev. ed. C3000; ESTC R13996.
