Synopsis
Excerpt from The Parliamentary or Constitutional History of England, From the Earliest Times, to the Restoration of King Charles II, Vol. 12 It may very justly be inquired, What could occasion such an Absence, at a Time when so great a Number of Resolutions pass'd, deeply affecting the Constitution of this Kingdom? - A brief Recapitulation of some Transactions in our last Volume will supply an Answer. It may be remembered that there was a Call of the House on the 16th of June last; and, on that Occasion, a Resolution pass'd, by a Majority of 147 Voices against 91, That none of the Absentees should be admitted to take their Seats, till they had made their Excuse to a Committee appointed for that Purpose, and that Excuse reported and allowed of by the House. Most of the Members then absent, whose Names are entered in the Commons Journals of that Day, were with the King at York; and as they could have little Reason to expect That Excuse for their Absence would be accepted by the House, it is very probable few of them ever returned. - Add to this, That After the King had issued his Commission of Array many more Members left the House, and went into their several Countries to put the same into Execution: And others were sent, at the same Time, by the Parliament to execute their Ordinance for the Militia; most of the Deputy-Lieutenants being Members of the House of Commons. When the Commons, on the eleventh Day of August last, voted, That they would support the Earl of Essex with their Lives and Fortunes, they also resolved, That every Member, then absent, should declare himself at his next coming into the House; which undoubted kept away many who had not Courage enough to make that Declaration; whilst some others, of a more resolute Disposition, lost their Lives, on both Sides of the Question, at the late Battle of Edge-Hill.
