Petition of the Assembly, for Leave to publish an Answer to a printed Remonstrance of their Dissenting Brethren.
To the Right Honourable the House of Peers
assembled in Parliament.
The humble Petition of the Assembly of Divines;
Humbly sheweth,
That your Petitioners, for the clearing of themselves from some Aspersions cast upon them in
the Preface of a Book, intituled, The Way of the
Church of Christ, were inforced, April 4th, 1645,
to make an Order, That the Dissenting Brethren
should be a Committee, to bring in a Model of
Church Government according to their Judgements;
in Reference whereunto, the Brethren did, Octob.
22, bring into this Assembly a Paper, containing some Pretence of Reasons why they would
not bring in such a Model at this Time; which
Paper is since published in Print, under the Title
of A Copy of a Remonstrance; and spread both in
City and Country, to the very great Prejudice of
this Assembly, and Scandal of their Proceedings.
Your Petitioners, therefore, most humbly pray,
that it may please this Honourable House,
to give the Assembly Leave to publish an
Answer and Defence of themselves in Print;
there being no other Way to vindicate their
Proceedings from those Misapprehensions
which this printed Paper hath begotten in the
Minds of many.
And your Petitioners, as in Duty bound,
shall ever pray, &c.
Cornelius Burgesse, Prolocutor pro Tempore.
Henry Robrough, Scriba.
