... Whereas, the late King James II... did endeavor to subvert and extirpate the Protestant religion and the laws and liberties of this kingdom... and whereas the said late King James II having abdicated the government, and the throne being vacant...the said lords... being now assembled in a full and free representative of this nation...do in the first place declare:
1. That the pretended power of suspending laws or the execution of laws by regal authority without the consent of Parliament... is illegal;
3. That the commission for erecting the late court of commissioners for escclesiastical causes and all other commissions and courts of like nature are illegal and pernicious...
4. That levying money for or to use of the crown by pretense of perogative without grant of Parliament, is illegal...
5. That it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal.
6. That...raising and maintaining a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with consent of Parliament, is against law.
8. That election of members of Parliament ought to be free;
9. That the freedome of speech and debates or proceedings in Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament;
10. That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted;
11. That jurors ought to be duly impaneled and returned, and jurors who pass upon men in trials for high treason ought to be freeholders;
12. That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void;
13. And that, for redress of all grievances and for amending, strengthening, and preserving the laws, Parliaments ought to be held frequently... Having, therefore, an entire confidence that his said Highness, the Prince of Orange, will perfect the deliverance so far advanced by him and will preserve them from the violation of their rights which they have here asserted and from all other attempts upon their religion, rights, and liberties, the said lords... and Commons assembled at Westminister do resolve that William and Mary, Prince and Princess of Orange, be and be declared King and Queen of England, France, and Ireland, and the dominions thereunto belonging.
