The Grandees immediately publisht six Articles in Vindication of the
Peoples Right, against the assum'd Priviledges of the Feathers, the
Abstract of which is as follows.

1. That the Feathers had no Right to Claim, or make any new
Priviledges for themselves, other than they had before.

2. That every Freeman of the Moon had a Right to repel Injury with
Law.

3. That Imprisoning the 5 Countrymen by the Feathers, was assuming a
new Priviledge they had no Right to, and a subjecting the Subjects
Right to their Arbitrary Votes.

4. That a Writ of Deliverance, or removing the Body, is the legal
Right of every Subject in the Moon, in order to his Liberty, in case
of Imprisonment.

5. That to punish any Person for assisting the Subjects, in procuring
or prosecuting the said Writ of Deliverance, is a breach of the Laws,
and a thing of dangerous Consequence.

6. That a Writ of Follies is not a Grace, but a Right, and ought not
to be deny'd to the Subject.
