Whereas the late King James the Second, by the assistance of diver s evil counllors, judges and ministers employed by him, did ende avour to subvert and extirpate the Protestant religion and the laws and liberties of this kingdom;
By assuming and exercising a power of dispensing with and suspen ding of laws and the execution of laws without connt of Parliame nt;

By levying money for and to the u of the Crown by pretence of prerogative for other time and in other manner than the same was granted by Parliament;
By raising and keeping a standing army within this kingdom in tim e of peace without connt of Parliament, and quartering soldiers c ontrary to law;
By causing veral good subjects being Protestants to be disarmed at the same time when papists were both armed and employed cont rary to law;
By violating the freedom of election of members to rve in Parlia ment;
By procutions in the Court of King's Bench for matters and caus es cognizable only in Parliament, and by divers other arbitrary and illegal cours;
And whereas of late years partial corrupt and unqualified persons h ave been returned and rved on juries in trials, and particularly di vers jurors in trials for high treason which were not freeholders; And excessive bail hath been required of persons committed in cri minal cas to elude the benefit of the laws made for the liberty o f the subjects;
And excessive fines have been impod;
And illegal and cruel punishments inflicted;
And veral grants and promis made of fines and forfeitures befo re any conviction or judgment against the persons upon whom the same were to be levied;
All which are utterly and directly contrary to the known laws and statutes and freedom of this realm;
And whereas the said late King James the Second having abdicated the government and the throne being thereby vacant, his Highness the prince of Orange (whom it hath plead Almighty God to mak e the glorious instrument of delivering this kingdom from popery a nd arbitrary power) did (by the advice of the Lords Spiritual and T emporal and divers principal persons of the Commons) cau letters

And thereupon the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Common s,pursuant to their respective letters and elections, being now asm bled in a full and free reprentative of this nation, taking into thei r most rious consideration the best means for attaining the ends a foresaid, do in the first place (as their ancestors in like ca have usually
done) for the vindicating and asrting their ancient rights and liber ties declare:
That the pretended power of suspending the laws or the execution of laws by regal authority without connt of Parliament is illegal; That the pretended power of dispensing with laws or the execution of laws by regal authority, as it hath been assumed and exercid of late, is illegal;
