Kynnersly, Yeoman of the Removing Wardrobe, attending on this House, arrested.
Upon reading the Petition of Clement Kynnersley,
Yeoman of His Majesty's Removing Wardrobe, and
daily attending this House by virtue of his Place; shewing, "That one Florentine Tanturiez, a Frenchman, caused
the Petitioner to be arrested, by one John Cambridge,
a Bailiff of Westm. who came into the Wardrobe in
Whitehall, and there arrested him upon a Bill of
Midd. The said Arrest is upon Pretence of Ten
Pounds, claimed to be due from the Petitioner, for a
Year's Rent for a Tenement in Westm. unto the said
Florentine; whereas, in Truth, the Petitioner holds
the same by Lease from one Wm. Calwall Esquire,
a Delinquent to the Parliament, and Florentine hath
no Estate therein; howbeit he pretendeth a Mortgage
thereof and of other Tenements besides, for Money
by him lent unto the said Caldwall, only to preserve
the same from Seizure unto the Use of the State
for the Delinquency of the said Caldwall: Now, forasmuch as (fn. *) the Petitioner is His Majesty's sworn Ser
vant, and in (fn. *) continual Attendance upon this House,
and Florentine caused him to be arrested without
Leave granted by this House, and the Bailiff arrested
him in Whitehall, where the like was never done before; he therefore humbly prayeth, that the said
Florentine and Cambridge may be sent for, and receive
such Punishment for their Breach of Privilege of
Parliament as this House shall think fit."
Tanturiez and Cambridge sent for.
Hereupon this House Ordered, That the said Florentine and Cambridge shall be attached as Delinquents,
and brought before this House, to answer the same.

His Majesty's Propositions to the Lords and Commons assembled in the Parliament of England
at Westm. and to the Commissioners of the
Parliament of Scotland now at London, for
settling of a safe and well-grounded Peace.
That His Majesty's own Revenue, Magazines,
Towns, Forts, and Ships, which have been taken
and kept from Him by Force, be forthwith restored
unto Him.
"That whatsoever hath been done or published contrary to the known Laws of the Land, or derogatory
to His Majesty's legal Rights, to be renounced and
re-called, that no Seed may remain for the like to
spring out for the future.
"That whatsoever illegal Power hath been claimed
or exercised by or over His Subjects, as imprisoning
or putting to Death their Persons without Law,
stopping their Habeas Corpuses, and imposing upon
their Estates without Act of Parliament, &c. either
by both or either House, or any Committee of both
or either, or by any Persons appointed by any of
them, be disclaimed; and all such Persons so committed forthwith discharged.
"That, as His Majesty hath always professed His
Readiness to that Purpose, so He will most chearfully
consent to any good Acts to be made for the Suppression of Popery, and for the firmer settling the
Protestant Religion established by Law; as also that
a good Bill may be framed, for the better preserving
of the Book of Common Prayer from Scorn and Violence; and that another Bill may be framed, for the
Ease of tender Consciences in such Particulars as
shall be agreed upon; for all which, His Majesty
conceives the best Expedient to be, that a National
Synod be legally called with all convenient Speed.
"That all such Persons as, upon the Treaty, shall
be excepted and agreed upon on either Side out of
the General Pardon, shall be tried per Pares, according to the usual Course and known Law of the
Land; and that it be left to that, either to acquit or
condemn them.
"And, to the End this Treaty may not suffer Interruption by any intervening Accidents, that Cessation
of Arms, and Free Trade for all His Majesty's Subjects, may be agreed upon, with all possible Speed.
"Given at the Court at Oxford, 21th Day of January, 1644.
"Edward Nicholas."
