Rights and liberties of Englishmen from the London Gazette

A lengthy reprint from the London Gazette outlines a declaration of rights for English subjects. It enumerates limits on royal prerogative, demands parliamentary consent, proposes restrained standing armies, and asserts Protestants' right to arms while excluding Papists from succession and power. The piece includes parliamentary procedures and historical parallels, urging frequent parliaments and redress of grievances.
