         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           much

           could

           being

           but
           also
           because
           I
           rest
           confident
           that
           never
           any
           other
           man
           attempted

           much

           Which
           I
           the
           rather
           believe
           ,
           because
           when
           I
           was
           one
           day
           discoursing
           with
           Sir
           
             Robert

           our
           Age
           not
           long
           before
           his
           Decease
           ,
           touching
           the
           two
           aforesaid
           Volumes
           he
           had
           of
           the
           Journals
           of

           ,
           that
           I
           wondred
           he
           would
           treasure
           up
           in
           his
           Library
           such
           Fragmentary
           and
           Imperfect
           stuff
           ,
           he
           made
           me
           no
           other
           Answer
           ,
           but
           that
           he
           was
           compelled
           to
           store
           up
           them
           ,
           because
           he
           knew
           not
           how
           to
           come
           by
           any
           better
           .
           And
           certainly
           if
           this
           work

           I

           it
           shall
           not
           be
           amiss
           to
           add
           somewhat
           touching
           the
           true
           transcription
           of

           for
           I
           am
           not
           ignorant
           ,
           that
           not
           only
           the
           greatest
           part
           of
           our
           ancient
           Manuscripts

           all
           new
           written
           materials
           ,
           for
           want
           of
           able
           Writers
           ,
           and
           especially
           for
           lack
           of
           comparing
           the
           new
           Copy
           written
           ,
           with
           that
           out
           of
           which
           it
           was
           taken

           exceedingly
           faulty
           and
           defective
           :
           and
           therefore
           it
           was
           my
           care
           to
           examine
           with
           my
           own
           Eye
           ,

           presence
           of

           such
           like
           entire

           Neither
           wanted
           there
           just
           cause
           of
           my
           frequent
           assistance

           shoots

           reach
           it

           but
           to
           shoot
           as
           high

           then
           presently
           order
           is
           given
           from
           the

           the
           Crown

           for
           the
           sending

           but
           when
           the

           is
           perpetual
           during
           that
           whole
           Parliament
           or
           Session

           for
           which
           he
           Constitutes
           one
           or
           more
           Proctors
           :
           for
           if
           he
           repair
           to
           the
           Upper
           House
           any
           time
           after
           ,
           and
           serve
           in
           Person
           ,
           his
           Proxie
           is
           presently
           void
           .
        
         
           On
           Wednesday
           the
           25th
           .
           day
           of
           Ian.
           the
           Parliament
           was
           held
           ,
           according
           to
           the
           last

           Ianuary
           foregoing

           and
           therefore
           this
           day
           is

           of

           and
           it

           day

           True
           it
           is

           that
           Anciently

           they
           were
           so
           far

           this

           When

           it

           him

           Here

           a
           Question

           yet
           I
           do
           Marvel

           what
           should
           be
           the
           cause
           of
           this
           ?
           if
           it

           thus
           I
           mean

           answer

           that

           Marry
           withal
           ,
           I
           think

           is
           no
           man
           so
           hard
           hearted

           thinking
           of
           it
           ,
           but
           for
           the
           restoring
           of
           it
           would
           adventure
           Lands

           only
           this

           reason

           But
           because
           it
           is
           difficult
           to

           piece
           of

           this

           great

           not
           doubting
           the
           Circumspection

           have
           sharp
           punishment
           .
           For
           as
           heretofore
           the
           Discipline
           of
           the
           Church
           hath
           not
           been
           good
           ,
           and
           again
           ,
           that
           the
           Ministers
           thereof
           have
           been
           slothful
           ,
           even
           so
           for
           want
           of
           the
           same
           hath
           sprung
           two
           Enormities
           ;
           the
           first
           is
           ,
           that
           for
           lack
           thereof
           ,
           every
           man
           liveth
           as
           he
           will
           ,
           without
           fear
           ;
           And
           secondly
           ,
           many
           Ceremonies
           agreed
           upon
           ,
           but
           the
           right
           Ornaments
           thereof
           ,
           are
           either
           left
           undone
           ,
           or
           forgotten
           .
           As
           in
           one
           point
           ,
           for
           want
           of
           Discipline
           it
           is
           that
           so
           few
           come
           to
           Service
           ,
           and
           the
           Church
           so
           unreplenished
           ,
           notwithstanding
           that
           at
           the
           last
           Parliament
           ,
           a
           Law
           was
           made
           ,
           for
           good
           Order
           to
           be
           observed
           in
           the
           same
           ;
           but
           yet
           as
           appeareth
           not
           Executed
           .
           Therefore
           if
           it
           be
           too
           easie
           ,
           let
           it
           be
           made
           sharper
           ,
           and
           if
           already
           well
           ,
           then
           see
           it
           Executed
           .
           For
           the
           want
           of
           Discipline
           causeth
           obstinacy
           ,
           contempt
           and
           growing
           of
           Heresie
           ;
           therefore
           better
           to
           be
           winked

           Therefore

           Most
           Honourable
           ,
        
         
           ALthough
           afore
           this
           time
           ,
           the
           place
           hath
           been
           furnished
           with
           Orators
           ,
           and
           therefore
           their
           matter
           entreated
           of
           worthily
           called
           an
           Oration
           ;
           yet
           I
           now
           ,
           void
           of
           any
           such
           knowledge

           may
           be
           left
           ,
           and
           that
           it
           might
           bear
           the
           name
           of
           an
           Epistle
           with
           a
           Request
           .
           And
           for
           the
           better
           understanding
           thereof
           ,
           I
           will
           divide
           the
           matter
           into
           three
           parts
           ;
           one
           for
           time
           past
           ,
           and
           the
           second
           ,
           time
           present
           ,
           and
           the
           third
           ,
           time
           to
           come
           .
           But
           fearing
           to
           fall
           between
           two
           Mountains
           ,
           as
           to
           be
           counted
           either
           ungrate
           ,
           or
           dissembling
           ,
           I
           know
           not
           what
           to
           say
           ;
           but
           yet
           seeing
           Savage
           Beasts
           forget
           not
           them
           who
           do
           well
           unto
           them
           ,
           as
           appeareth
           by
           the
           story
           of
           a
           Lyon
           ,
           out
           of
           whose
           foot
           a
           certain
           Man
           took
           a
           Thorn
           ,
           which
           said
           person
           ,
           being
           afterwards
           cast
           to
           the
           same
           Lyon
           to
           be
           devoured
           ,
           the
           Lyon
           not
           forgetting
           ,
           but
           remembring
           the
           former
           kindness
           shewed
           unto
           him
           ,
           would
           not
           devour
           him
           ,
           but
           ever
           after
           followed
           the
           same
           Man
           ;
           even
           so
           ,
           without
           too
           much
           ingratitude
           ,
           can
           I
           not
           let
           pass
           your
           Majesties
           manifold
           benefits
           extended
           upon
           us
           ;
           which
           although
           worthily
           to
           be
           declared
           ,
           they
           pass
           my
           Capacity
           now
           to
           express
           ,
           yet
           think
           it
           Blasphemy
           to
           suffer
           it
           clean
           to
           be
           untouched
           ,
           and
           therefore
           in
           some
           part
           will
           put
           in
           remembrance
           the
           same
           ;
           which
           I
           will
           divide
           into
           two
           parts
           ;
           the
           one
           spiritual
           ,
           the
           other
           temporal
           .
           For
           the
           first
           ,
           When
           God
           planted
           your
           Highness
           in
           this
           place
           ,
           you
           found

           furnisht
           with
           Treasure
           ,

           if
           you
           had
           ,
           yet
           occasions
           enough
           to
           employ
           it
           ;
           which
           notwithstanding
           ,
           you
           did
           not
           take
           the
           extremity
           of

           due
           unto
           you
           ,
           but
           pardoned
           all
           such

           as
           in
           time
           convenient
           required
           it
           .
           Also
           your
           Majesty
           did

           truth

           tormented

           I
           therefore
           do
           not

           For

           deal
           with
           many
           well
           Learned

           whose
           deep
           understanding
           my
           Wit
           cannot
           attain
           to

           No
           ,
           if
           they
           for
           great
           carefulness
           would
           often
           inculcate
           .
           it
           into
           my
           dull
           Head

           to
           signifie
           the

           yet
           my
           Memory
           is
           so
           slippery
           by
           Nature
           and
           Sickness
           ,
           that
           I
           should
           likely
           lose
           it
           by
           the
           way

           yet
           if
           perhaps
           I
           kept
           part
           thereof
           ,
           I
           have
           no
           other

           my self
           withall
           ,
           but
           a
           little
           in
           the
           Law

           far
           inferiour

           House
           ;
           and
           so
           should
           want
           Learning
           and
           Utterance
           to
           declare
           their
           meanings
           ,
           as
           it
           requireth
           ;
           specially
           when
           I
           consider
           your
           Royal
           Majesty
           ,
           a
           Princess
           endowed
           with

           many
           Vertues

           Learning
           and
           flowing
           Eloquence
           ,
           it
           will
           abash
           and
           astonish
           me

           and
           therefore
           finding
           these
           infirmities
           ,
           and
           other
           in

           I
           think
           my self
           most
           unworthy
           of
           this
           place

           I

           gathered
           that
           they

           we

             The

             you
             presented
             me
             (
             which
             must
             doubtless
             relate

             the

             several
             parts

             the
             same
             Petition
             ,
          
           viz.
           
             the
             Marriage
             and
             the
             Succession

             and
             might
             not
             improperly
             be
             so
             called
             ,
             though
             couched
             in
             one
             Body
             ,
             and
             as
             the
             words
             also
             following
             do

             manner
             explain
             it
             )
             expressed
             many
             words
             ,
             which
             contained
             in
             sum
             these
             two
             things
             ,
             as
             of
             your
             cares
             the
             greatest
             ;
             My
             Marriage
             ,
             and
             my
             Succession
             .
             Of
             which
             two
             I
             think
             the
             last
             best
             to
             be
             touched
             ,
             and
             of
             the
             other
             a
             silent
             thought
             may
             serve
             .
             For
             I
             thought
             it
             had
             been
             so
             desired
             ,
             as
             none
             other
             Tree's
             blossom
             should
             have
             been
             minded
             ,
             or
             ever
             any
             hope
             of
             any
             Fruit
             had
             been
             denied
             you
             .
             And
             yet
             by
             the
             way
             ,
             if
             any
             here
             doubt
             that
             I
             am

             determination

           How

           have
           such
           a
           one
           as
           should
           use
           plain
           words
           ,
           and
           not
           either
           so
           fine
           that
           they
           cannot
           be
           understood
           ,
           or
           else
           so
           Eloquent
           ,
           that
           now
           and
           then
           they
           miss
           the
           Cushion
           .
        
         
           But
           now
           upon
           occasion
           of
           beholding

           I
           consider
           the
           manifold
           and
           great
           benefits
           ,
           which
           God
           suddenly
           hath
           sent
           unto
           this
           Country
           ;
           for
           although
           God
           hath
           granted
           the
           benefit
           of
           Creation
           and
           Conservation

           with
           many
           other
           Commodities

           to
           other
           Nations
           of
           the

           yet
           this
           our
           Native
           Country
           he
           hath
           blessed
           ,
           not
           only
           with
           the
           like
           ,
           but
           also
           with
           much
           more
           fruitfulness
           than
           any
           other
           ;
           of
           which
           great
           and
           inestimable
           benefit
           of
           Gods
           preferment
           ,
           which
           appeareth
           better
           by
           the
           want
           that
           others
           have
           of

           I
           am
           occasioned
           now
           to
           speak
           ,
           the
           rather
           to
           move
           and
           stir
           up
           our
           hearts
           ,
           to
           give
           most
           hearty
           thanks
           to
           God
           for
           the
           same
           .
        
         
           Now
           to
           speak
           of
           Government
           by
           Succession
           ,
           Election
           ,
           Religion
           ,
           or
           Policy
           ;
           First
           ,
           if
           the
           Body
           should
           want
           a
           Head
           ,
           it
           were
           a
           great
           Monster
           ;
           so
           it
           is
           likewise
           ,
           if
           it
           have
           many
           Heads
           ,
           as
           if
           upon
           every
           several
           Member
           were
           a
           Head.
           And
           to
           speak
           of
           one
           Head
           ;
           although
           in
           the
           Body
           be
           divers
           Members
           ,
           which
           be
           made
           of
           Flesh
           ,
           Bones
           ,
           Sinews
           and
           Joints
           ,
           yet
           the
           one
           Head
           thereof
           governeth
           wisely
           the
           same
           ;
           which
           if
           it
           should
           want
           ,
           we
           should
           be
           worse
           than
           wild
           Beasts
           ,
           without
           a
           Shepherd
           ,
           and
           so
           worthily
           be
           called
           a
           Monstrous
           Beast
           .
        
         
           Again
           ,
           If
           the
           Body
           should
           be
           Governed
           by
           many
           Heads
           ,
           then
           the
           same
           would
           soon
           come
           to
           destruction
           ,
           by
           reason
           of
           the
           Controversy
           amongst
           them
           ,
           who
           would
           never
           agree
           ,
           but
           be
           destroyed
           without
           any
           Foreign
           Invasion
           ;
           therefore
           God
           seeth
           it
           is
           needful
           ,
           that
           the
           people
           have
           a
           King
           ,
           and
           therefore
           a
           King
           is
           granted
           them
           ;
           and
           so
           therefore
           the
           best
           Government
           is
           to
           be
           ruled
           by
           one
           King
           ,
           and
           not
           many
           ,
           who
           may
           maintain
           and
           cherish
           the
           good
           and
           Godly
           ,
           and
           punish
           the
           Ungodly
           and
           Offenders
           .

           by
           Election
           ,
           in
           that

           Pope
           ;
           and
           weigh
           how

           thereof
           the

           sore

           For
           like
           as
           the
           former
           may
           put

           danger

           without
           cause

           particularly
           ;
           so
           the
           second
           may
           put
           in
           peril
           both
           the
           Nocent

           .
           You
           are
           also
           to
           examine
           the
           want
           and
           superfluity
           of
           Laws
           :
           you
           are
           to
           look
           whether
           there
           be
           too
           many
           Laws
           for
           any
           thing
           ,
           which
           breedeth
           so
           many
           doubts
           ,
           that
           the
           Subject
           sometimes
           is
           to
           seek
           how
           to
           observe
           them
           ,
           and
           the
           Councellor
           how
           to
           give
           advice
           concerning
           them
           .
        
         
           Now
           the
           second
           ,
           which
           concerns
           a
           sufficient
           provision
           for
           the
           Crown
           and
           State
           ;
           herein
           you
           are
           to
           call
           to
           remembrance
           ,
           how
           the
           Crown
           of
           this
           Realm
           hath
           been
           many
           ways
           charged
           extraordinarily
           of
           late
           ;
           not
           possibly
           to
           be
           born
           by
           the
           ordinary
           Revenues
           of
           the

           ,
           and
           therefore
           of
           necessity
           to
           be
           relieved
           otherwise
           ;
           as
           heretofore
           it
           hath
           commonly
           ,
           and
           necessarily
           been
           .
           For
           like
           as
           the
           ordinary
           charge
           hath
           been
           always
           born
           by
           ordinary
           Revenues
           ,
           so
           the
           extraordinary
           charge
           hath
           always
           been
           sustained
           by
           an
           extraordinary
           relief
           .
           This
           to
           those
           that
           be
           of
           understanding
           is
           known
           ,
           not
           only
           to

           Kingdoms
           and
           Empires

           but
           also
           is

           hath

           ever

           be
           a
           necessary
           peculiar
           pertaining

           all
           Common-Wealths

           States
           of

           But
           here
           I
           rest
           greatly
           perplexed

           whether

           such

           easily
           produced

           to
           move
           you
           thankfully
           and
           readily
           to
           grant
           this
           extraordinary
           relief
           or
           no
           :
           I
           know
           the
           Queens
           Majesty

           so
           great
           hope
           of
           your
           prudent
           foreseeing
           what
           is
           to
           be
           done
           ,
           and
           of
           your
           good
           wills
           and
           readiness

           which
           by
           Prudence
           you
           foresec
           ,
           that
           few
           or
           no
           perswasions
           
           at
           all
           are
           needful

           Nevertheless
           ,
           because
           by
           the
           antient
           order
           heretofore
           used
           ,
           it
           is
           my
           Office
           and
           Duty
           somewhat
           to
           say
           in
           this
           Case
           ,
           and
           likewise
           all
           men
           also
           that
           be
           present
           ,
           neither
           understand
           alike
           ,
           nor
           remember
           alike
           ;
           Therefore
           I
           mean
           ,
           with
           your
           favour
           and
           patience
           ,
           to
           trouble
           you
           with
           a
           few
           words
           ,
           touching
           this
           point
           .
           True
           it
           is
           ,
           that
           there
           be
           two
           things
           that
           ought
           vehemently
           to
           move
           us
           ,
           frankly
           ,
           bountifully
           ,
           and
           readily
           to
           deal
           in
           this
           matter
           .
           The
           former
           is
           the
           great
           benefits
           ,
           that
           we
           have
           received
           ;
           the
           second
           is
           the
           necessity
           of
           the
           Cause
           .
           If
           we
           should
           forget
           the
           former
           ,
           we
           are
           to
           be
           charged
           as
           most
           ungrate
           and

           hath
           hapned

           the
           time
           of
           Christs
           Religion
           now
           established
           .
           I
           cannot
           think
           that
           any
           man
           can
           follow
           me

           this
           ,
           in
           the
           time
           of
           the
           Romish
           Religion
           since
           the
           Conquest
           .
           Nay
           a
           man
           might
           affirm
           ,
           that
           this
           is
           an
           Example
           for
           times
           to
           come
           ,
           without
           any
           like
           in
           times
           past
           ;
           comparing
           
             Singula
             singulis
          
           ,
           what
           should
           I
           say
           ?
           these
           be
           the
           true
           Fruits
           of
           true
           Religion
           .
           I
           could
           further
           remember
           you
           of
           the
           Fruits
           of
           Justice
           ,
           the
           benefit
           of
           restoring
           your
           Money

           yea
           ,
           I
           could
           put
           you
           in
           mind
           ,
           but
           I
           think
           it
           needs
           not
           ,
           it
           happened
           so
           late
           ,
           of
           a
           Subsidy
           granted
           ,
           whereof
           the
           Queens
           Majesty
           of
           her
           own
           bountifulness
           ,
           remitted
           the
           one
           half
           ;
           was
           the
           like
           here
           in
           England
           ever
           seen
           or
           heard
           of
           ?
           But
           being
           out
           of
           doubt
           ,
           that
           these
           benefits
           already
           remembred
           be
           sufficient
           of
           themselves
           to
           move
           you
           to
           be
           thankful
           to
           your
           Power
           ,
           I
           leave
           any
           longer
           to
           detain
           you
           in
           this
           point

           And
           albeit
           a
           Subject
           cannot
           yield

           he
           receiveth

           because
           every
           benefit
           is
           more
           than

           Yet
           can
           it
           not
           be
           denied

           doth
           sufficiently
           satisfie

           Highness
           favourably

           dividing
           his
           Speech
           into
           three
           parts
           ,
           the
           first
           ,
           where
           he
           had
           sometimes
           inserted
           commendations
           of
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           her
           Highness
           would
           not
           acknowledge
           so
           great
           perfections
           to
           be
           in
           her
           ;
           but
           said
           ,
           that
           they
           should
           be
           instructions
           for
           her
           better
           proceedings
           in
           time
           to
           come
           .
           The
           second
           part
           of
           his
           Oration
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           concerning
           the
           Rule
           ,

           well
           liked
           of
           ,
           and
           wished
           ,
           that
           as
           he
           had
           well
           conceived
           of
           it
           ,
           and
           well
           uttered
           the
           same
           ,
           so
           he
           and
           others
           would
           endeavour
           the
           Execution
           thereof
           .
        
         
           For
           his
           Petitions
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           her
           Majesties
           Pleasure
           was
           ,
           that
           the
           first
           should
           be
           granted
           ,
           with
           this
           caution
           ,
           that
           no
           man
           should
           under
           their
           shadows
           ,
           untruly
           protect
           any
           others

           For
           the
           second
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           at
           time
           convenient
           ,
           her
           Pleasure
           was
           ,
           they
           should
           come
           freely
           .
           Touching
           the
           third
           part
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           she
           could
           not
           imagine
           that
           among

           many
           wise
           men
           it
           could
           happen
           ;
           but
           if
           it
           should
           ,
           her
           Grace
           would
           be
           content
           to
           remit
           it
           .
           The
           fourth
           was
           such
           ,

           which
           though
           they
           were
           not
           punished

           As

           so

           such
           of
           you
           as

           then
           surely
           those

           ,
           or

           and
           the
           Realm
           shall
           be
           defrauded

           freely
           granted
           ,
           shall
           thereby
           minister
           just
           occasion

           her
           Highness
           to
           have
           their
           fidelity
           and
           truth
           towards
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           much
           to
           be
           suspected
           and
           charged

           which
           would
           touch
           them
           very
           near

           Neither
           is
           it
           an

           but
           severely
           punished

           Why
           ,
           if
           the
           Case

           can
           there
           be
           a
           greater
           untruth
           and
           unthankfulness
           ,
           than
           for

           Surely
           in

           in
           much
           worse
           Case

           does
           very
           much
           harm
           ;
           for
           that

           forth
           contempt
           of

           of
           all
           Magistrates

           find
           no
           more
           helps
           but
           these
           .
        
         
           The
           first
           is
           having
           great
           Care
           in
           the
           choice
           of
           the
           Officers
           .
           The
           second
           by
           sharp
           Corrections
           imposed
           upon
           such
           Offenders
           .
           There
           should
           be
           throughout
           the
           Realm
           a
           Triennial
           or
           Biennial
           Visitation
           in
           this
           nature
           ,
           made
           of
           all
           Temporal
           Officers
           ,
           and
           Ministers
           ,
           that
           by
           Vertue
           of
           their
           Office
           have
           in
           Charge
           to
           see
           Execution
           of
           Laws
           .
           By
           this
           ,
           I
           mean
           ,
           that
           the
           Queens
           Majesty
           should
           make
           choice
           every
           second
           or
           third
           year
           ,
           of
           certain
           expert
           and
           approved
           persons
           ,
           to
           whom
           Commission
           should
           be
           granted
           ,
           to
           try
           out
           and
           examine
           by
           all
           good
           means
           and
           ways
           the
           offences
           of
           all
           such
           as
           have
           not
           seen
           to
           the
           due
           Execution
           of
           the
           Laws
           ,
           and
           according
           to
           the
           offences
           so
           found
           and
           certified
           ,
           to
           be
           sharply
           punished
           without
           Omission
           or
           Redemption
           .
        
         
           Of
           effect
           like
           unto
           this
           ,
           and
           to
           the
           like
           end
           ,
           was
           the
           Visitation
           of
           the
           Church
           first
           devised
           ,
           whereof
           came
           in
           the
           beginning
           great
           good
           doubtless
           ;
           and
           reason
           I
           see
           none
           ,
           but
           that
           a
           like
           good
           ought
           to
           follow
           upon
           a
           like
           Visitation
           made
           amongst
           Temporal
           Officers
           .
           Now
           to
           find
           out
           the
           faults
           seemeth
           not
           hard
           ,
           for
           amongst
           many
           other
           ways
           ,
           there
           is
           one
           plain
           ,
           evident
           and
           easie
           ;
           and
           that
           is
           where
           offences
           do
           abound
           in
           any
           Country
           ,
           contrary
           to
           the
           Laws
           ,
           which
           the
           Justices
           should
           so
           reform
           ,
           and
           there
           be
           nothing
           done
           by
           them
           for
           the
           Reformation
           of
           those
           offences
           ;
           I
           do
           not
           see
           but
           this
           makes
           a
           full
           charge
           of
           their
           uncarefulness
           and
           negligence
           ,
           whereby
           they
           are
           well
           worthy
           ,
           upon
           Certificate
           made
           ,
           as
           is
           aforesaid
           ,
           to
           be
           removed
           of
           all
           Governance
           ,
           to
           their
           perpetual
           ignominy
           ,
           and
           to
           the
           Commendation
           of
           all
           those
           that
           remain
           as
           good
           Officers
           .
        
         
           And
           besides
           ,
           to
           set
           forth
           other
           pains
           upon
           them
           ,
           as
           by
           Law
           may
           be
           justified
           ;
           if
           this
           were
           once
           or
           twice
           done
           ,
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           the
           Examples
           following
           of
           the
           doing
           of
           it
           would
           cause
           greater
           diligence
           to
           be
           used
           in
           the
           Execution
           of
           Laws
           ,
           than
           now
           there
           is
           .
           And
           the
           better
           to
           understand
           which
           be
           those
           Justices
           that
           do
           offend
           ,
           
           why
           might
           there
           not
           be
           order
           taken
           ,
           that
           the
           name
           of
           every
           Justice
           that
           hath
           not
           prosecuted
           any
           Offender
           ,
           for
           any
           offence
           committed
           contrary
           to
           any
           Law
           ,
           which
           by
           the
           Commission
           that
           he
           is
           in
           ,
           he
           is
           authorized
           to
           see
           punished
           ,
           might
           be
           entred
           into
           some
           Rolls
           ;
           and
           also
           how
           often
           ,
           and
           how
           many
           of
           those
           kind
           of
           offences
           he
           hath
           also
           prosecuted
           for
           a
           declaration
           of
           his
           diligence
           ,
           whereby
           it
           might
           appear
           when
           such
           Visitation
           should
           come
           ,
           who
           hath
           been
           careful
           ,
           and
           who
           hath
           been
           negligent
           ,
           to
           the
           end
           that
           the
           slothful
           ,
           drowzy
           Drones
           ,
           might
           be
           severed
           from
           the
           diligent
           and
           careful
           Bees
           .
           And
           like
           as
           I
           could
           wish
           this
           to
           be
           done
           concerning
           Offices
           of
           mean
           degree
           ;
           so
           do
           I
           desire
           that
           the
           same
           course
           might
           be
           taken
           with
           the
           great
           and
           greatest
           ;
           for
           so
           it
           should
           be
           Equable
           .
           But
           if
           there
           be
           nothing
           done
           therein
           ,
           but
           things
           left
           as
           they
           have
           been
           ,
           then
           must
           you
           look
           to
           have
           your
           Laws
           Executed
           as
           they
           have
           been
           ,
           if
           not
           worse
           ;
           for
           words
           will
           not
           reform
           these
           matters
           ,
           as
           I
           have
           seen
           by
           proof
           .
           And
           this
           is
           the
           sum
           of
           what
           I
           have
           to
           say
           at
           this
           time
           ,
           concerning
           the
           Execution
           of
           Laws
           .
        
         
           This
           Speech

           his
           Master

           should
           be
           whipped

           perhaps
           the
           chiefest

           for
           a

           he
           thought
           it
           not
           amiss

           a
           long
           needless
           discourse
           concerning

           that
           a
           Subsidy
           was
           by
           every
           good
           Subject
           to
           be
           yielded

           but
           for

           the

           galled
           by
           two
           means

           it
           would
           hardly
           be
           levied
           ;
           namely

           by

           the
           abuse
           of

           remedy
           were
           provided
           ,
           then
           would
           the

           be
           paid
           willingly
           ;
           which
           he
           proved
           ,
           for
           that
           by

           a
           few
           only

           might
           happily
           ensue
           ,
           that

           very
           requisite
           ,
           that

           ;
           first

           wherein
           he

           desire
           the

           in
           his
           Opinion
           ,
           it
           should
           not
           be
           amiss
           to
           take
           away
           the
           Purveyors
           ,

           of
           the
           Gentlemen
           before
           ;
           affirming
           ,
           that
           they
           were
           very
           necessary
           to
           be
           thought
           of

           unto
           which
           he
           was
           to
           add
           one
           more
           ;
           viz.
           the
           abuse
           of
           Collectors
           .
           He
           shewed
           ,
           that
           they

           retain
           their
           Charge
           sometimes
           a

           own
           hands

           And
           for
           that
           they
           are
           but
           mean
           men
           ,
           appointed
           to
           that
           Office
           ,
           they
           oft
           times
           convert
           it
           to
           their
           own
           uses
           ,
           and
           are
           perhaps
           never
           able
           to
           satisfie
           the
           same
           ;
           whereby
           the

           ;
           for
           if

           should
           understand
           her
           Majesty
           should
           have
           it
           presently
           ,
           they
           would
           more
           willingly
           pay
           it
           ;
           and
           therefore
           wished
           the
           better
           sort
           of
           every
           Country
           should
           be
           assigned

           that
           every

           ought
           to
           yield
           to
           the

           ,
           and
           rather
           offer
           it

           only
           go

           were
           remembred
           ,

             Lactantius
             Firmianus

           making

           that

           Withall
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           the
           more
           noble
           the
           Man

           the
           more
           good
           his
           Example
           may
           do
           .
           He
           therefore
           concluded
           ,
           that
           for
           so
           much
           of
           the
           Law
           ,
           so
           the
           same
           might
           be
           general
           ,
           he
           was
           of
           good
           liking
           that
           it
           should
           pass
           .
        
         
           But
           for
           the
           other
           matter
           ,
           concerning
           the
           receiving
           of
           the
           Communion
           ,
           he
           argued
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           not
           convenient
           to
           inforce
           Consciences
           .
           And
           to
           that
           purpose
           ,
           he
           shewed
           the
           Authority
           of
           D
           rs
           ;
           which
           he
           vouched
           without
           quoting
           the
           place
           ,
           or
           sentence
           .
           He
           said
           also
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           the
           Opinion
           of
           Fathers
           ,
           and
           Learned
           Men
           of
           this
           Land
           ;
           and
           therefore
           wished
           they
           might
           be
           consulted
           with
           .
           Finally
           ,
           he
           concluded
           ,
           that
           
             bonae
             Leges

             moribus
             proveniunt
             :
          
           but
           no
           good
           Laws
           may
           make
           a
           good
           man
           fit
           to
           receive
           that
           great
           Ministry
           of
           God
           above
           .
           This
           whole
           Speech
           he
           tempered
           with
           such
           discretion
           as
           in
           such
           Case
           was
           seemly
           .
           And
           whatsoever
           he
           spake
           ,
           he
           spake
           the
           same
           under
           Correction
           .
        
         
           M
           r
           Strickland
           standing
           up
           ,
           first
           prayed
           he
           might
           be
           excused
           ,
           for
           that
           he
           was
           to
           speak
           on
           a
           sudden
           and
           unprovided
           .
           For
           the
           first
           ,
           He
           approved
           what
           M
           r
           Aglionby
           had
           said
           :
           For
           the
           second
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           he
           could
           not
           be
           of
           that
           mind
           ;
           and
           he
           vouched
           out
           of
           Esdras
           ,
           that
           the
           Church

           yea
           the
           Consciences
           of

           ,
           were
           by
           the
           Prophet
           restrained
           ;
           withal
           he
           said
           ,
           Conscience
           might
           be
           free
           ,
           but
           not
           to
           disturb
           the
           common
           quiet
           .
           He
           shewed
           the
           practice
           and
           doings

           manner
           and
           form
           following
           .
        
         
           Mr.
           Goodier
           with
           some
           shew
           of
           former
           Care
           for
           that
           Cause
           ,
           entred
           into
           the
           utterance
           of
           a
           long
           Speech
           ,
           and
           spake
           to
           this
           effect
           :
           First
           ,
           He
           made
           a
           solemn
           Protestation
           of
           his
           sincerity
           ,
           truth
           and
           Loyalty
           to
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           to
           the
           State
           ,
           and
           to
           the
           House
           .
           Then
           he
           shewed
           many
           singular
           and
           true
           blessings
           ,
           which
           we
           have
           by
           her
           Highness
           means
           ,
           and
           religiously
           prayed
           for
           her
           preservation
           ;
           but
           his
           whole
           discourse
           stood
           upon
           these
           three
           points
           ,
           what
           he
           thought
           of
           the
           persons
           there
           Assembled
           ,
           what
           he
           disliked
           in
           the
           matter
           of
           the
           Bill
           propounded
           ,
           and
           why
           he
           did
           so
           .
        
         
           Of
           the
           persons
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           he
           heartily
           believed
           the
           whole
           Company
           in
           truth
           and
           true
           meaning
           to
           have
           a
           care
           and
           hearty
           well-wishing
           for
           her
           Majesties
           safety
           ,
           acknowledging
           and
           reposing
           in
           her
           the
           very
           Anchor
           of
           our
           Safety
           ;
           but
           whether
           all
           were
           with
           a
           sincere
           meaning
           to
           the
           state
           of
           the
           Crown
           ,
           he
           knew
           not
           ;
           but
           rather
           thought
           the
           clean
           contrary
           :
           but
           yet
           of
           the
           most
           and
           most
           honourable
           he
           thought
           nothing
           amiss
           ,
           but
           some
           surely
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           were
           doubly
           disposed
           ,
           and
           with
           a
           favourable
           affection
           bent
           for
           some
           special
           body
           .
        
         
           For
           the
           substance
           of
           the
           first
           Bill
           ,
           he
           said
           he
           was
           of
           clear
           mind
           ,
           well
           liking
           and
           approving
           the
           whole
           course
           thereof
           ;
           except
           ,
           quoth
           he
           ,
           that
           the
           same
           be
           not
           already
           by
           former
           Laws
           provided
           for
           ;
           and
           hereunto
           he
           further
           added
           ,
           that
           if
           any
           man
           should
           say
           ,
           that
           the
           Papists
           do
           not
           err
           in
           saying
           or
           speaking
           so
           slanderously
           of
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           the
           same
           to
           be
           taken
           also
           as
           Treason
           .
           For
           the
           Additions
           which
           concerned
           the
           first
           ,
           which
           did
           clearly
           respect
           the
           time
           past
           ,
           as
           to
           make
           Treason
           of
           a
           fault
           already
           committed
           ,
           which
           at
           the
           time
           of
           the
           perpetrating
           of
           the
           same
           offence
           ,
           was
           not
           in
           the
           same
           Degree
           ;
           it
           was
           a
           President
           most
           perilous
           ,
           which
           might
           occasion
           such
           and
           so
           great
           Evils
           ,
           as
           easily
           might
           not
           be
           conceived
           .
           Of
           present
           time
           ,
           mans
           wisdom
           might
           judge
           ;
           Future
           time
           mans
           Policy
           may
           reach
           to
           :
           but
           to
           call
           again
           the
           time
           past
           ,
           or
           to
           raise
           what
           is
           dead
           in
           any
           kind
           ,
           Man
           may
           not
           ;
           nor
           in
           reason
           is
           it
           to
           be
           presumed
           .
           The
           like
           he
           said
           had
           not
           been
           seen
           ;
           and
           where
           he
           hath
           read
           thousands
           of
           Laws
           ,
           yet
           did
           he
           never
           find
           such
           a
           President
           .
           An
           extremity
           ,
           rare
           ,
           and
           never
           practised
           ,
           no
           not
           in
           these
           the
           greatest
           matters
           of
           Faith
           and
           Religion
           ,
           that
           we
           do
           now
           so
           earnestly
           treat
           of
           .
        
         
           The
           Enemy
           to
           God
           and
           our
           State
           (
           the
           Papists
           ,
           I
           mean
           )
           is
           most
           hateful
           .
           Yet
           is
           no
           man
           so
           hardly
           bent
           ,
           as
           to
           have
           them
           punished
           ,
           much
           less
           to
           suffer
           Death
           ,
           for
           what
           is
           past
           .
           Whether
           her
           Majesty
           hath
           pardoned
           what
           is
           past
           ,
           we
           do
           not
           know
           ,
           and
           whether
           her
           Highness
           pleasure
           be
           that
           it
           should
           be
           talked
           of
           ,
           no
           man
           yet
           hath
           made
           a
           report
           .
           Withal
           ,
           it
           may
           happily
           occasion
           dislike
           between
           her
           Majesty
           and
           the
           House
           ,
           which
           were
           odious
           and
           hateful
           ;
           but
           doubtless
           ,
           he
           prophesied
           ,
           it
           would
           occasion
           peril
           ,
           such
           and
           so
           great
           ,
           that
           the
           greatest
           Speakers
           therein
           ,
           yea
           those
           who
           should
           give
           them
           most
           or
           best
           words
           ,
           could
           give
           no
           Warranties
           .
           Neither
           is
           it
           that
           the

           this
           latter
           advice
           .
           For
           the
           regard
           of

           he
           said

           he
           could
           have
           no
           good
           liking
           thereof
           ,
           and
           what
           was
           practised
           in
           Queen

           time
           (
           under
           Correction
           )
           he
           took

           he
           did
           conclude
           nothing
           ,
           but
           said
           it
           was
           a
           prevention

           Sir
           
             Francis
             Knolles
          
           shewed
           ,
           that
           he
           could
           not
           utterly
           dislike
           the
           conjoining
           of
           the
           Additions
           ,
           sith
           that
           they
           rise
           all
           of
           one
           ground
           ,
           and
           that
           they
           both
           are
           good
           and
           charitable
           ;
           whereof
           he
           acknowledged
           her
           Highness
           to
           have
           Intelligence
           ,
           and
           the
           cause
           already
           to
           have
           been
           in
           Conference
           by
           her
           Councel
           .
           And
           for
           the
           word
           (
           hath
           )
           he
           saith
           it
           contained
           no
           such
           absurdity
           ,
           but
           with
           good
           zeal
           it
           might
           be
           maintained
           .
           And
           therefore
           such
           vehemency
           and
           sharpness
           of
           Speech
           ,
           he
           said
           was
           more
           than
           requisite
           ,
           yea
           more
           than
           convenient
           .
           And
           as
           for
           the
           obscurity
           ,
           he
           said
           of
           men
           that
           would
           mean
           well
           ,
           it
           could
           not
           be
           misconstrued
           ;
           and
           to
           stay
           or
           prevent
           devices
           past
           ,
           he
           thought
           it
           but
           honest
           Policy
           ,
           which
           being
           otherwise
           used
           in
           a
           Princes
           case
           ,
           is
           not
           to
           be
           disliked
           .
           
           He
           remembred
           her
           Highness
           unwillingness
           to
           punish
           such
           offences
           ,
           and
           therefore
           though
           the
           Law
           be
           sharp
           ,
           yet
           such
           is
           her
           Mildness
           ,
           that
           if
           any
           have
           offended
           for
           so
           much
           as
           may
           concern
           her
           person
           ,
           surely
           he
           thought
           it
           would
           not
           be
           Executed
           ;
           and
           her
           Clemency
           tempered
           with
           Authority
           ,
           could
           never
           grow
           to
           Cruelty
           ,
           wherein
           what
           his
           Conscience
           was
           ,
           he
           thought
           not
           fit
           to
           make
           further
           shew
           thereof
           ;
           but
           simply
           and
           plainly
           he
           would
           deal
           herein
           ,
           not
           meaning
           to
           treat
           in
           such
           sort
           ,
           as
           if
           he
           thought
           to
           deserve
           thanks
           ,
           or
           any
           thing
           of
           her
           Majesty
           ;
           for
           what
           he
           did
           ,
           he
           did
           it
           also
           as
           mindful

           Another

           shewing
           the

           of
           the
           matter

           which

           to

           and
           therefore
           he
           could
           not
           but
           approve
           the

           Addition

           albeit
           for
           the
           pains
           in
           the
           Bill
           he
           was
           somewhat
           variant
           from
           that
           which
           was
           there
           offered

           in
           the
           understanding
           of
           some
           words
           he
           was
           doubtful
           ;
           as
           for
           the
           word
           compassing
           ,
           he
           made
           some
           question
           ;
           of
           this
           (
           
             bodily
             hurt

           he

           no
           perfect
           Intelligence
           ,
           since
           the
           hurt
           of
           body
           may
           grow
           by
           grief
           of
           mind
           ,
           and
           grief
           of
           mind
           perhaps
           by
           small
           cause
           .
           He
           also
           said
           ,
           that
           saving

           But
           further
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           that
           he
           that

           lawful
           Queen
           ,
           in
           his
           conceit
           should
           also
           be
           called
           a
           Traitor
           ;
           but
           for
           the
           speaking
           of
           those
           most
           slanderous
           words
           of
           Heretick

           he
           would
           not
           any
           man
           to
           be
           for
           the
           first
           offence
           taken
           as
           a
           Traytor
           ;
           for
           that
           the
           not
           acknowledging
           of
           the
           Supremacy
           ,
           being
           a
           far
           greater
           offence
           ,
           is
           but
           the
           pain
           of
           Praemunire
           .
           And
           therefore
           ,
           except
           the
           same
           offence
           also
           might
           be
           made
           Treason

           he
           could
           not
           like
           thereof
           .
           But
           if
           it
           should
           so
           seem
           to
           them
           good
           ,
           that
           it

           one
           that
           had
           two
           Wives
           .
           He
           shewed
           at
           large
           the
           Circumstance
           of
           their
           practised
           Order
           upon
           the
           purgation
           of
           such
           Clerks
           ,
           declaring
           of
           truth
           so
           disordered
           and
           hateful
           doings
           ,
           that
           the
           whole
           House
           resolved
           to
           take
           care
           for
           redress
           .
        
         
           There
           was
           then
           next
           after

           a
           Motion
           made
           by
           one
           to
           have
           in
           talk
           the
           griefs
           which
           before
           had
           been
           uttered
           in
           the
           House
           ,
           concerning
           the
           deceitful
           dealings
           of
           Treasurers
           and
           Receivers

           of

           Hereupon
           Sir
           
             Humphrey
             Gilbert
          
           standing
           up
           ,
           and
           some
           Introduction
           made
           to
           crave
           patience
           and
           toleration
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           he
           endeavoured
           to
           prove
           the
           Motion
           of

           r
           Bell

           made
           some
           days
           before
           ,
           to
           be
           a
           vain
           device
           to
           be
           thought
           of
           ,
           and
           perillous
           to
           be
           treated
           of
           ;
           since
           it
           tended
           to
           the
           derogation
           of
           the
           Prerogative
           Imperial
           ;
           which
           who
           should
           attempt
           in
           his
           fancy
           ,
           could
           not
           otherwise
           be
           accounted
           than
           an
           open
           Enemy

           For
           what
           difference
           is
           to
           say
           ,
           the
           Queen
           is
           not
           to

           the
           priviledge
           of
           the
           Crown
           ,
           and
           to
           say
           she
           is
           not
           Queen
           ?
           since
           they
           are
           so
           linked
           together
           ,
           that
           the
           one
           without

           not
           possibly
           be
           ,
           or
           subsist
           ?
           We
           are
           (
           said
           he
           )
           to
           give
           to
           a
           common
           Constable
           the
           right
           and
           regard
           of
           his
           Office
           ;
           which
           if
           we
           should
           deny
           her
           ,
           what
           is
           it
           other
           than
           to
           make
           her
           meaner
           than
           the
           meanest
           ?
           And
           albeit
           Experience
           hath
           shewed
           such
           and
           so
           great
           Clemency
           in
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           as
           might
           make
           us
           perhaps
           forfeit
           our selves
           ;
           yet
           it
           is
           not
           good
           to
           sport
           or
           venture
           too
           much
           with
           Princes
           ;
           yea
           ,
           let
           be
           that
           our
           meaning
           be
           good
           ,
           yet
           if
           it
           be
           not
           so
           thought
           of
           ,
           how
           then
           ?
           He
           remembred
           the
           Fable
           of
           the
           Hare
           ,
           which
           fled
           upon
           the
           Proclamation
           ,
           that
           all
           Horned
           Beasts
           should
           depart
           the
           Court
           ,
           lest
           his
           Ears
           should
           be
           said
           Horns
           ;
           this
           did
           he
           further
           inculcate
           ,
           with
           this
           further
           signification
           ,
           that
           if
           we
           should
           in
           any
           sort
           meddle
           with
           those
           matters
           ,
           her
           Majesty
           might
           look
           to
           her
           own
           Power
           ,
           and
           thereby
           finding
           her
           validity
           to
           suppress
           the
           strength
           of
           the
           challenged
           Liberty
           ,
           and
           to
           challenge
           and
           use
           her
           Power
           any
           way
           ,
           to
           do
           as
           did
           Lewes
           of
           France
           ,
           who
           (
           as
           he
           termed
           it
           )
           delivered
           the
           Crown
           there
           out
           of
           Wardship
           ,
           which
           the
           said
           French
           King
           did
           upon
           like
           occasion
           .
           He
           also
           said
           ,
           that
           other
           Kings
           had
           absolute
           Power
           ,
           as
           Denmark
           and
           Portugal
           ;
           where
           as
           the
           Crown
           became
           more
           free
           ,
           so
           are
           all
           the
           Subjects
           thereby
           the
           rather
           made
           Slaves
           .
        
         
           This
           Speech
           was
           disliked
           ,
           as
           implying
           many
           occasions
           of
           mischief
           ,
           but
           for
           the
           present
           he
           was
           not
           answered
           further
           ,
           than
           that
           it
           seemed
           he
           did
           mistake
           the
           meaning
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           and
           of
           the
           Gentleman
           that
           made
           the
           Motion
           ;
           who
           would
           it
           otherwise
           to
           be
           taken
           ,
           nor
           otherwise
           for
           the
           House
           to
           deal
           in
           the
           matter
           ,
           than
           to
           shew
           their
           common
           griefs
           in
           due
           and
           seemly
           sort
           unto
           her
           Majesty
           .
        
         
           The
           Parliament
           was
           then
           by
           the
           consent
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           for
           that
           it
           was
           Easter
           Eve
           ,
           Adjourned
           until
           Thursday
           next
           ;
           and
           it
           was
           agreed
           ,

           which
           may
           seem
           to
           be
           scant
           sufficient
           by
           reason

           the

           the
           Answer

           time
           a
           Council
           of
           this
           Realm
           (
           not
           the
           Queens
           Privy-Council
           )
           did
           write
           to
           a
           Town
           ,
           to
           chuse
           a
           Bishops
           Brother
           ,
           (
           and
           a
           great
           Bishops
           Brother
           it
           was
           indeed
           )
           whom
           they
           assured
           to
           be
           a
           good
           Catholick
           man
           ;
           and
           willed
           them
           to
           chuse
           to
           the
           like
           of
           him
           some
           other
           fit
           man.
           The
           Council
           was
           Answered
           with
           Law.
           And
           if
           all
           Towns
           in
           England
           had
           done
           the
           like
           in
           their
           Choice
           ,
           the
           Crown
           had
           not
           been
           so
           wronged
           ,
           and
           the
           Realm
           so
           robbed
           with
           such
           ease
           at
           that
           Parliament
           ,
           and
           truth
           banished
           as
           it
           was
           ;
           what
           hath
           been
           ,
           may
           be
           ,
           there
           is
           no
           impossibility
           .
           It
           will
           be
           said
           ,
           I
           mistake
           ,
           it
           is
           not
           meant
           ,
           but
           that
           Towns
           shall
           be
           at
           liberty
           to
           chuse
           whom
           they
           list
           .
           I
           say
           ,
           that
           Liberty
           is
           the
           loss
           of
           Liberty
           ;
           for
           when
           by
           Law
           they
           may
           do
           what
           they
           will
           ,
           they
           may
           not
           well
           deny
           what
           shall
           be
           required
           .
           It
           is
           too
           truly
           said
           ,
           
             Rogando
             cogit
             qui
             rogat
             potentior
          
           .
           And
           I
           have
           known
           one
           that
           to
           avoid
           a
           great
           mans
           displeasure
           that
           dwelt
           near
           him
           ,
           that
           was
           desirous
           (
           as
           he
           knew
           )
           to
           buy
           his
           Land
           ,
           did
           upon
           small
           occasion
           bind
           himself
           not
           to
           alienate
           his
           Land
           from
           his
           true
           Heirs
           :
           this
           being
           known
           ,
           I
           mean
           that
           he
           was
           bound
           as
           aforesaid
           ;
           the
           great
           man
           was
           contented
           to
           let
           him
           keep
           his
           own
           quietly
           ,
           which
           otherwise
           he
           would
           not
           have
           done
           .
           Surely
           Law
           is
           the
           only
           Fortress
           of
           the
           inferior
           sort
           of
           People
           ,
           and
           contrary
           to
           the
           Law
           ,
           the
           greater
           sort
           will
           not
           desire
           or
           expect
           anything
           .
           Though
           now
           at
           this
           present
           (
           God
           be
           praised
           )
           we
           need
           not
           to
           fear
           the
           greatness
           of
           any
           man
           ,
           Justice
           is
           so
           well
           administred
           :
           Yet
           hereafter
           ,
           whatsoever
           hath
           been
           we
           may
           fear
           ,
           either
           for
           maintenance
           of
           Faction
           ,
           or
           maintenance
           of
           Mischief
           .
           Again
           ,
           I
           say
           ,
           it
           may
           be
           ,
           what
           heretofore
           was
           possibly
           again
           may
           be
           .
           We
           stand
           and
           have
           stood
           of
           late
           upon
           the
           notorious
           manifestation
           of
           the
           Authority
           of
           Parliament
           :
           except
           withal
           you
           keep
           the
           ancient
           usage
           of
           the
           same
           ,
           and
           withal
           endeavour
           the
           freedom
           thereof
           ,
           in
           effect
           you
           do
           nothing
           ,
           if
           I
           guess
           aright
           .
        
         
           It
           is
           further
           said
           ,
           that
           in
           some
           Towns
           there
           are
           not
           men
           of
           discretion
           fit
           ;
           they
           be
           not
           the
           wiser
           (
           said
           the
           Gentleman
           that
           spoke
           before

           for
           being
           Burgesses
           .
           I
           can
           never
           be
           perswaded

           I

           I
           stand
           too
           long
           hereon

           He

           not
           be
           .
           He
           then
           thought
           it
           not
           amiss
           to
           be
           advised

           And
           for
           the
           objection
           of
           the
           danger
           which
           may
           ensue
           by
           reason

           he
           said
           )
           but
           think
           it
           convenient

           wished

           that
           there
           might
           be

           for

           much
           was

           Law

           the
           Canon
           Law

           or
           by
           the

           Law.
           The
           Civil
           Law
           would
           not

           because

           is
           allowance
           of

           The

           Law
           is
           abolished
           ;
           and
           in
           that
           respect
           the
           Temporal
           Law
           saith
           nothing

           so
           that
           the
           pretence

           seem
           to
           be
           somewhat
           ,
           but
           the
           effect
           thereby
           wrought
           is
           nothing
           ;
           yet
           that
           it
           was
           ill
           ,
           neither
           Christian
           nor
           Pagan
           ever
           denied
           .
           Aristotle
           being
           asked
           what
           Usury
           was
           ?
           he
           said
           ,
           it
           was

           ,
           that
           the
           true
           interpretation
           of
           the
           Hebrew
           word
           is
           not
           Usura
           ,
           but
           Morsus
           .
        
         
           Doctor
           Wilson
           Master
           of
           the
           Requests
           ,
           said
           ,
           that
           in
           a
           matter
           of
           so
           great
           weight
           he
           could
           not
           shortly
           speak
           ,
           and
           acknowledging
           that
           he
           had
           throughly
           studied
           the
           matter
           ,
           desired
           the
           patience
           of
           the
           House
           .
           And
           first
           he
           endeavoured
           to
           prove
           ,
           that
           the
           common
           State
           may
           be
           without
           Usury
           ;
           then
           he
           shewed
           ,
           how
           even
           men
           that
           have
           been
           ignorant
           of
           God
           or
           his
           Laws
           ,
           finding
           the
           evils
           thereof
           by
           their
           Laws
           ,
           redressed
           it
           ;
           and
           utterly
           prohibited
           the
           use
           thereof
           .
           As
           the
           Athenians
           caused
           all
           the
           Writings
           taken
           for
           interest
           money
           to
           be
           burnt
           ;
           and
           the
           like
           did
           Lycurgus
           by
           a
           Law
           which
           he
           made
           ,
           and
           seeing
           the
           Fire
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           he
           never
           saw
           so
           fair
           a
           Flame
           as
           those
           Books
           yielded
           .
           He
           then
           made
           a
           definition
           of
           Usury
           ,
           shewing
           it
           was
           taking
           of
           any
           reward
           ,
           or
           price
           or
           sum
           ,
           over
           and
           above
           the
           due
           Debt
           .
           To
           make
           any
           thing
           of
           that
           which
           is
           not
           mine
           ,
           it
           is
           robbery
           .
           Forthwith
           upon
           the
           delivery
           of
           the
           Loan
           money
           ,
           it
           is
           not
           mine
           .
           And
           the
           Law
           is
           ,
           that
           Mutuum
           must
           ever
           be
           free
           .
           And
           here
           he
           shewed
           the
           difference
           between
           Location
           and
           Mutuum
           ;
           the
           one
           implying
           a
           contract
           ,
           the
           other
           none
           .
           He
           remembred
           out
           of
           Ezechiel
           and
           other
           the
           Prophets
           ,
           sundry
           places
           of
           Scripture
           ,
           and
           vouched
           S
           t
           Augustines
           saying
           ,
           that
           to
           take
           but
           a
           Cup
           of
           Wine
           ,
           is
           Usury
           and
           Damnable
           .
           This
           he
           seemed
           to
           say
           in
           Answer
           to
           that
           which
           had
           been
           before
           pronounced
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           not
           Usury
           except
           it
           were
           Morsus
           .
        
         
           He
           shewed
           ,
           that
           loss
           may
           grow
           by

           First

           to
           the
           Queen
           ,
           then
           to

           but
           finding

           He

           The

           greater
           hurt
           occasioned

           In
           Answer
           of
           the
           Scripture
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           the
           Law
           of
           God
           is
           ,
           If
           thou
           be
           stricken
           on
           the
           one
           Cheek
           ,
           to
           turn
           the
           other
           ;
           or
           if
           thy
           Cloak
           be
           taken
           away
           ,
           to
           give
           also
           thy
           Gown

           The
           literal
           sence
           is
           not
           to
           be
           taken

           a

           So
           he

           that
           though
           it
           were
           a
           sin
           ,
           yet
           it
           was
           to
           be
           punished
           here
           on
           Earth
           according
           to
           the
           good
           or
           bad
           ,
           or
           rather
           according
           to
           the
           greater
           or
           lesser
           hurt
           which
           groweth
           thereby
           .
        
         
           After
           which
           one
           (
           whose
           name
           is
           not
           expressed
           in
           the
           said
           Anonymous
           Journal

           Protestation
           of
           his
           insufficiency
           ,
           and
           then
           he
           shewed
           ,
           how
           the
           Divines
           have
           not

           what
           is
           Usury
           ,
           but
           for
           his
           own
           part
           ,
           he
           was
           to
           incline
           to
           the
           opinion
           of
           the
           Learned

           interpretation
           of

           He
           made
           a
           difference
           of

           to

           sometimes
           not
           to
           kill
           is
           evil

           Phineas

           protesting

           He
           further
           said

           that

           He

           that
           since

           we
           should
           be
           mindful

           and

           therefore
           he
           wished

           the
           President
           was
           perillous

           to
           be
           feared
           ;
           yet
           the
           times
           might
           be
           altered

           and
           what
           now
           is
           permitted
           ,
           hereafter

           He

           that

           and
           where
           there
           was
           such
           fulness
           of
           Power

           and
           by
           Warrant
           whereof
           we

           That
           to
           say
           the
           Parliament
           had
           no
           Power
           to

           He
           remembred
           how
           that
           men
           are
           not
           there
           for
           themselves
           ,
           but
           for
           their
           Countries
           .
           He
           shewed
           ,
           it
           was
           fit
           for
           Princes
           to
           have
           their
           Prerogatives
           ;
           but
           yet
           the
           same
           to
           be
           straitned
           within
           reasonable
           limits
           .
           The
           Prince
           ,
           he
           shewed
           ,
           could
           not
           of
           her self
           make
           Laws
           ,
           neither
           might
           she
           by
           the
           same
           reason
           break
           Laws
           .
           He
           further
           said
           ,
           that
           the
           Speech

           condemned
           as
           evil

           He
           said
           then
           ,
           that
           of
           Experience
           he
           could

           he
           said

           the

           th

           but
           three
           days
           after

           it self
           ,
           which
           is
           impossible
           ;
           and
           it
           is
           plain
           ,
           that
           the
           day
           of
           the
           beginning
           of
           the
           Parliament
           cannot
           be
           mistaken
           ,
           because
           according
           to
           that
           all
           the
           other
           days
           through
           the
           whole
           Journal-Book
           do
           follow
           in
           due
           form
           and
           order
           :
           and
           therefore
           it
           is
           very
           probable
           ,
           that
           the
           date
           of
           the
           Writ
           is
           set
           down
           contrary
           to
           the
           Originals
           themselves
           ,
           which
           were
           dated
           the
           5
           th
           day
           of
           March
           ,
           and
           that
           the
           Clerk
           might
           mistake
           .
           This
           is
           likewise
           very
           conjecturable
           in
           respect
           that
           the
           name
           of
           the
           Month
           being
           set
           down
           and
           perhaps
           abbreviated
           ,
           it
           was
           easily
           written
           May
           for
           March
           ,
           and
           so
           this
           incongruity
           is
           only
           the
           slip
           and
           error
           of
           the
           Clerk.
           
        
         
           The

           wherein
           albeit
           I
           mean
           to
           imploy
           my

           uttermost
           of
           my

           and
           understanding

           yet
           I
           must
           needs
           confess

           shall
           you
           have
           it
           done
           as

           of
           this
           presence
           ,
           neither
           as
           the
           gravity
           of
           the
           Cause

           done
           .
           And
           yet
           the
           often
           Experience

           Majesties
           great
           benignity
           and
           gentleness
           in
           bearing
           with
           and
           well
           accepting
           the

           put
           their

           And
           besides
           all
           ,
           the
           proof
           of
           your

           me
           ,
           that
           (
           as
           I
           trust
           )
           it
           shall
           be
           done
           although
           not
           cunningly
           nor
           eloquently
           ,
           yet
           plainly
           and
           truly
           ,
           so
           as
           it
           may
           be
           well
           understood

           easily
           born
           away
           ,
           and
           therewith
           also
           as
           briefly
           as
           the
           greatness
           of
           such
           a
           matter
           will
           suffer
           .
           True
           it
           is
           ,
           the
           original
           and
           principal
           cause
           is

           that
           things
           there
           propounded

           deeply
           considered
           ,
           and
           thereupon
           wisely
           concluded
           .
           And
           to
           the
           end
           also
           that
           those
           Conclusions
           so
           made

           Consent

           remain
           firm
           and
           stable
           .
        
         
           Now
           the
           matters
           that

           altogether
           in
           two
           parts

           The
           former
           is
           in
           matters

           The

           committed
           to
           her
           Charge
           .
           The
           Causes
           of

           are
           again
           to

           The
           thing
           of
           Policy
           I

           the

           Thirdly

           For
           that
           many
           of
           us
           of

           not
           yield

           give
           that
           estimation
           ,
           countenance
           and
           credit
           to
           the
           Ministers
           of
           his
           Doctrine
           which
           of
           right
           they
           ought
           to
           have
           ,
           and
           that
           many
           greatly
           hurt
           the
           setting

           For
           this
           one
           thing
           may
           be
           holden
           firm
           by
           the
           Rules
           of
           good
           Government

           that
           all
           Officers

           Spiritual

           Temporal
           that
           have
           Governance
           ,
           during
           the
           time
           of
           their
           Offices
           ,
           ought
           to
           be
           preserved
           in
           Credit
           and
           Estimation

           For
           how
           can
           any
           thing
           be
           well
           set
           forth
           by

           last
           as
           their

           Fourthly
           ,
           Because
           the
           want

           be
           not
           ,
           and
           for
           the
           insufficiency
           of
           those
           that

           great

           Thus
           much
           for

           You
           are
           most
           earnestly
           also
           to
           think
           and
           consider
           of
           the
           Discipline
           of
           the

           one

           strong
           Pillars
           of
           Religion

           which
           doubtless
           at
           this
           time
           hath
           two
           great
           lacks
           .
           The
           first
           the
           imperfection
           of
           Laws
           for
           the
           countenance
           of
           it
           ;
           which
           hath
           grown
           either
           by
           reason
           that
           sundry
           of
           the
           Ordinances
           made
           for
           that
           purpose
           ,
           be
           disused
           or
           otherwise
           have
           not
           their
           force
           ;
           or
           else
           for
           that
           most
           of
           the
           Laws
           that
           remain
           be
           such
           as
           for
           their
           softness
           few
           men
           make
           account
           of
           .
        
         
           The
           second
           imperfection
           is
           the
           slothfulness
           ,
           
           corruption
           and
           fearfulness
           of
           the
           Ecclesiastical
           Ministers
           and
           Officers
           in
           the
           due
           Execution
           of
           those
           Laws
           that
           be
           good
           and
           yet
           continue
           .
           True
           and
           too
           true
           it
           is
           ,
           that
           hereby
           at
           this
           present
           two
           great
           Enormities
           daily
           grow
           :
           The
           former

           given
           to
           be
           evil
           may

           and
           licentious
           life
           they

           it

           It
           cannot
           be
           denied

           may
           cause
           Irreligion
           to
           creep
           faster
           in
           than
           a
           man
           would
           think

           For
           of
           all
           other
           it
           is
           the
           most
           pestilent
           and
           pernicious
           thing
           ,
           never
           suffered

           nay
           not
           amongst
           the
           Heathens
           that
           were
           most

           here
           it
           may
           be
           said
           the
           mischief
           appeareth
           ,
           where
           is
           the
           remedy
           ?
           and
           that
           it

           better
           not
           opened

           such
           a

           than
           opened
           without
           the
           remedy
           both
           devised
           and
           declared

           In
           mine
           opinion
           the
           remedies
           may
           easily
           be
           devised
           :
           all
           the
           difficulty
           is
           in
           the
           well
           Executing
           of
           them

           As
           first

           if
           the
           chief
           Parsonages
           of

           Realm

           Town
           and
           Country
           ,
           would
           give
           good
           Example
           ,
           it
           cannot
           be
           but
           it
           would
           be
           much
           to
           the
           remedying
           of
           a
           great
           part

           mischief

           Secondly

           The

           the

           for
           the
           well
           Executing

           You
           are
           also
           further
           to
           Examine

           You
           are

           which
           breedeth
           so
           many
           doubts
           ,
           that
           the
           Subject
           is
           sometimes
           to
           seek
           how
           to
           observe
           them
           ,
           and
           the
           Chancellor
           how
           to
           give
           advice
           concerning
           them

           As
           to
           the
           second
           imperfection
           ,
           which
           is
           the
           want
           of
           the
           due
           Execution
           of

           because
           I
           cannot
           perceive
           but
           all
           the
           rest
           and
           all
           Laws
           made
           and
           to
           be
           made
           is
           but
           a
           vain
           matter
           ,
           therefore
           I
           have
           thought
           oft
           with
           my self
           what
           might
           be
           the
           best
           remedy
           ,
           if
           not
           to
           make
           all
           Laws
           perfectly
           Executed
           (
           for
           that
           I
           can
           hardly
           hope
           of

           yet
           to
           make
           them
           in
           much
           better
           Case

           be
           .
           And
           when
           I
           had
           considered
           all
           things
           ,
           I
           could
           find
           no
           help
           but
           this
           :
           The
           first
           by
           having
           great
           care
           in
           the
           choice
           of
           those
           Officers
           that
           
           have
           the
           Execution
           of

           .
           The
           second
           ,
           to
           do
           as
           much
           as
           may
           be
           for
           the

           of
           sloth
           ,
           corruption
           and
           fears
           from
           them

           A
           third
           way
           there
           is
           which
           I
           leave
           to
           your
           judgments
           ,
           this
           it
           is
           :
           there
           should
           be
           a
           triennial
           or
           biennial
           Visitation

           made

           Ministers
           that
           by
           virtue
           of

           By

           Of
           effect
           much
           like
           this
           ,
           and
           to
           the
           like
           end
           was
           the
           Visitation
           of
           the
           Church
           first
           devised
           ;
           whereof
           ,
           in
           the
           beginning
           of
           it

           came
           great
           good
           doubtless
           ;
           and
           reason
           I
           see
           none
           but
           the
           like
           good
           ought
           to
           follow
           upon
           like
           Visitation
           made
           amongst
           Temporal
           Officers
           .
           And
           the
           old
           Commission
           of
           Oyer
           tended
           somewhat
           to
           this
           end

           I
           doubt

           as
           my
           trust
           is
           they
           shall

           especially
           in
           the
           great
           and
           open
           Courts

           my
           burthen

           I
           confess
           ,
           is
           equal
           with
           the
           greatest
           ,
           and
           yet
           for
           my
           part

           I
           would
           gladly

           year

           to
           such

           to
           the
           last

           greatest

           which

           his
           Confederates

           by
           reason
           now

           the
           Lord

           with
           the

           this
           Afternoon
           there
           entred
           ,
           saving
           only
           the
           Adjournment
           of
           the

           most
           certain

           that
           her
           Majesty
           being
           present

           end
           to
           this
           Session
           of
           Parliament
           ,
           by
           giving
           her
           Royal
           Assent
           to
           thirteen
           publick

           and
           four
           private

           But
           yet
           there
           passed
           no
           Bill
           of
           her
           Majesties
           free

           the
           reason
           of
           it
           is
           plain
           ,
           because

           And
           what
           a

           But
           it
           is
           to
           be
           hoped

           that
           if
           the

           you

           yet
           the
           fear
           of
           this
           great
           inconveniency
           should
           constrain
           men

           And
           thus
           much
           touching

           by
           words
           :
           for
           how
           could
           such
           a
           Grant
           be
           made
           ,
           and
           in
           such
           manner
           granted
           ,
           and
           by
           such
           persons
           ,
           but
           that
           of
           necessity
           it
           must
           proceed
           from
           the
           benevolent
           minds
           and
           hearty
           affections
           of

           are
           before
           remembred
           ?
           True
           it
           is
           ,
           that
           her
           Majesty

           these
           your

           noted
           three
           things
           especially
           and
           principally
           ,
           every
           of
           them
           tending
           much
           to
           the
           setting
           forth
           of
           your
           benevolence
           .
           The
           first

           the
           second
           ,
           the
           manner
           of

           ;
           the
           third
           ,
           what
           it
           was
           that
           is
           granted
           .
           As
           to
           the
           first
           ,
           her
           Majesty
           cannot
           forget
           ,
           how
           this
           Grant
           proceeded
           from
           the
           earnest
           affections
           and
           hearty
           good
           wills
           of
           her
           loving
           and
           obedient
           Subjects

           Wherefore
           her
           Majesty
           maketh
           greater
           account

           and
           so
           she
           Commanded
           me
           to

           unto
           you
           .
           Again
           ,
           her
           Majesty
           remembreth
           very
           well
           ,
           that
           this
           Grant
           was
           made
           not
           by
           Subjects
           that
           never
           did
           the
           like
           before
           ,
           but

           Subjects
           that
           have
           been
           and
           continued
           to
           be
           ready
           from
           time
           to

           to
           contribute
           towards
           the
           necessary
           
           charges
           and
           defence
           of
           the
           Realm

           which
           doth
           greatly
           commend
           and
           set
           forth
           she
           saith
           this
           great
           benevolence
           of
           yours
           .
           And
           as
           to
           the
           second
           ,
           which
           is
           the
           manner
           of

           ,
           her
           Highness
           noteth
           two
           things
           especially
           ;
           the
           one
           is
           universality
           of
           consent
           ;
           and
           can
           there
           be
           a
           more
           universal
           consent
           than
           when
           all
           agreeing
           and
           none
           denying
           as
           this
           was
           ?
           Nay
           her
           Highness
           knoweth
           that
           before
           her
           time
           these
           manner
           of
           Grants
           passed
           not
           but
           with
           a
           great
           perswasion
           and
           many
           difficulties
           ;
           whereas
           this
           was
           frankly
           offered
           without
           any

           persons
           neither
           admonishments
           nor
           exhortations
           are
           due

           no
           more

           Honourable
           Assembly

           together
           here
           in
           this
           place
           for
           three
           special
           Causes
           of
           most
           weighty
           and
           great
           importance
           .
        
         
           The
           first
           and
           principal
           is
           to
           make
           and
           abrogate
           such
           Laws
           as
           may
           be
           most
           for
           the
           preservation
           of
           our
           noble
           Soveraign
           .
        
         
           The
           second
           .....
        
         
           The
           third
           is
           to
           make
           or
           abrogate
           such
           Laws
           as
           may
           be
           to
           the
           chiefest
           surety
           ,
           safe-keeping
           ,
           and
           enrichment
           of
           this
           noble
           Realm
           of
           England
           .
           So
           that
           I
           do
           think

           at
           both

           times
           I
           saw
           the
           Liberty
           of
           free
           Speech

           the
           which
           is
           the
           only
           Salve
           to
           heal
           all
           the
           Sores
           of
           this
           Common-Wealth
           ,
           so
           
           much
           and
           so
           many
           ways
           infringed
           ,
           and
           so
           many
           abuses
           offered
           to
           this
           Honourable
           Council
           ,
           as
           hath
           much
           grieved
           me
           even
           of
           very
           Conscience

           Wherefore
           to

           like
           I
           do
           think
           it
           expedient

           the
           Commodities
           that
           grow

           Wit
           can
           gather
           of

           the

           cause

           If

           much

           I

           the
           inconveniences
           that

           First
           ,
           If

             of
             Death
             :
          
           This
           is
           a
           terrible
           thing
           to
           weak
           nature
           ,
           for
           who
           is
           able
           to
           abide
           the
           fierce
           Countenance
           
           of
           his
           Prince

           but
           if
           we

           discharge
           our
           Consciences
           ,
           and

           and
           State
           ,
           we
           must
           have
           due
           consideration
           of
           the
           place

           and
           especially
           have
           regard
           unto
           the
           matter
           wherein
           we
           both
           shall
           serve
           God
           ,
           and
           our
           Prince

           not
           dissembling
           as
           Eye
           Pleasers

           and
           so
           justly
           avoid
           all
           displeasures
           both
           to
           God
           and
           our
           Prince

           for
           Solomon

             in
             the
             way
             of
             the
             righteous
             there
             is
             life

           So
           that
           to
           avoid
           Everlasting
           Death
           and
           Condemnation
           with

           Mighty
           God
           ,
           we
           ought

           proceed
           in
           every
           Cause
           according
           to
           the
           matter
           ,
           and
           not
           according
           to
           the
           Princes

           ;
           and
           now
           I
           will
           shew
           you
           a
           reason
           to
           prove
           it
           perilous
           always
           to
           follow
           the
           Princes

           Many
           times
           it
           falleth
           out
           ,
           that
           a
           Prince
           may
           favour
           a
           cause
           perilous
           to
           himself
           and
           the
           whole
           State
           ;
           what
           are
           we
           then
           if
           we
           follow
           the
           Princes

           are
           we
           not
           unfaithful
           unto
           God

           our
           Prince
           and
           State
           ?
           Yes
           truly
           ,
           we
           are
           Chosen
           of
           the
           whole
           Realm
           ,
           of
           a
           special
           Trust
           and
           Confidence
           by
           them
           reposed
           in
           us

           to
           foresee
           all
           such
           Inconveniences
           .
           Then
           I
           will
           set
           down
           my

           he
           that
           dissembleth
           to
           her
           Majesties
           peril
           ,
           is
           to
           be
           counted
           as
           an
           hateful
           Enemy
           ;
           for
           that
           he
           giveth
           unto
           her
           Majesty
           a
           detestable
           Judas
           his
           Kiss
           ;
           and
           he
           that
           contrarieth
           her
           mind
           to
           her
           Preservation
           ,
           yea
           though
           her
           Majesty
           would
           be
           much
           offended
           with

           for
           
             faithful
             are
             the
             wounds
             of
             a
             Lover

             but
             the

             of
             an
             Enemy
             are
             deceitful
             :
          
           And
           it
           is
           better
           ,
           saith
           Antisthenes
           ,
           to
           fall
           amongst
           Ravens
           than
           amongst
           Flatterers
           ,
           for
           Ravens
           do
           but
           devour
           the
           dead
           Corps

           but
           Flatterers
           the
           Living
           .
           And
           it
           is
           both
           Traiterous
           and
           Hellish
           through
           Flattery
           to
           seek
           to
           devour
           our
           natural
           Prince

           Flatterers
           ;
           therefore
           let
           them
           leave
           it
           with

           Now
           to
           another

           The
           King
           ought
           not
           to

           under
           the

           because
           the

           maketh
           him
           a

           :
           Let
           the
           King
           therefore
           attribute
           that

           which
           the

           unto
           him

           that
           is

           Dominion
           and
           Power
           ;
           for
           he
           is

           a

           and
           therefore
           he
           ought

           I
           pray
           you
           mark
           the
           Reason
           why
           my

           saith
           ,
           the

           ought
           to

           for
           saith
           he

           the

           Sworn

           as

           unto
           the
           which
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           her
           Majesty
           will
           for
           her
           Honour
           and
           Conscience
           sake
           have
           special

           for
           free
           Speech

           are
           granted
           by
           a
           special
           Law
           ,
           as
           that
           without
           the
           which
           the
           Prince

           So
           that
           I
           would
           wish
           every
           man
           that

           to
           fear
           at
           all
           times
           hereafter
           to
           pronounce
           any
           such
           horrible
           Speeches
           ,
           so
           much
           to
           the
           Princes
           Dishonor
           ;
           for
           in
           so
           doing
           he
           sheweth
           himself
           an
           open
           Enemy
           to
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           and
           so
           worthy
           to
           be
           contemned
           of
           all
           faithful
           hearts
           .
           Yet
           there
           is
           another
           inconvenience
           that
           riseth
           of
           this
           wicked
           rumour
           ,
           the
           Utterers
           thereof
           seem
           to
           put
           into
           our
           Heads
           ,
           that
           the
           Queens
           Majesty
           hath
           conceived
           an
           evil
           opinion
           ,
           diffidence
           and
           mistrust
           in
           us
           her
           faithful
           and
           loving
           Subjects
           ;
           for
           if
           she
           had
           not
           ,
           her
           Majesty
           would
           then
           wish
           that
           all
           the
           things
           dangerous
           to
           her self
           should
           be
           laid
           open
           before
           us
           ,
           assuring
           her self
           that
           loving
           Subjects
           ,
           as
           we
           are
           ,
           would
           without
           Schooling
           and
           direction
           ,
           with
           careful
           minds
           to
           our
           Powers
           ,
           prevent
           and
           withstand
           all
           perils
           that
           might
           happen
           unto
           her
           Majesty
           :
           and
           this
           opinion
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           her
           Majesty
           hath
           conceived
           of
           us
           ,
           for
           undoubtedly
           there
           was
           never
           Prince
           that
           had
           faithfuller
           hearts
           than
           her
           Majesty
           hath
           here
           ;
           and
           surely
           there
           were
           never
           Subjects
           had
           more
           cause
           heartily
           to
           love
           their
           Prince
           for
           her
           quiet
           Government
           than
           we
           have
           .
           So
           that
           he
           that
           raiseth
           this
           rumour
           ,
           still
           encreaseth
           but
           discredit
           in
           seeking
           to
           sow
           Sedition
           as
           much
           as
           lyeth
           in
           him
           ,
           between
           our
           merciful
           Queen
           and
           us
           her
           most
           loving
           and
           faithful
           Subjects
           ,
           the
           which
           by
           Gods
           Grace
           shall
           never
           lie
           in
           his
           Power
           ,
           let
           him
           spit
           out
           all
           his
           venome
           and
           there
           withal
           shew
           out
           his
           malicious
           heart
           ;
           yet
           I
           have
           collected
           sundry
           reasons
           to
           prove
           this
           a
           hateful
           and
           a
           detestable
           rumour
           ,
           and
           the
           Utterer
           thereof
           to
           be
           a
           very
           Judas
           to
           our
           Noble
           Queen
           ,
           therefore
           let
           any
           hereafter
           take
           heed
           how
           he
           publish
           it
           ,
           for
           as
           a
           very
           Judas
           unto
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           and
           Enemy
           to
           the
           whole
           State
           ,
           we
           ought
           to
           accept
           him
           .
        
         
           Now
           the
           other
           was
           a
           Message
           M
           r
           Speaker
           brought
           the
           last
           Sessions
           into
           the
           House
           ,
           that
           we
           should
           not
           deal
           in
           any
           matters
           of
           Religion

           but
           first
           to
           receive
           from
           the
           Bishops
           :
           Surely
           this
           was
           a
           doleful

           No

           nothing

           I
           have
           heard
           of
           old
           Parliament
           men
           ,
           that
           the
           Banishment
           of

           Pope

           and
           the
           restoring
           of
           true
           Religion
           had
           their
           beginning
           from
           this
           House

           and
           not
           from
           the
           Bishops
           ;
           and
           I
           have
           heard
           that
           few
           Laws
           for
           Religion
           had
           their
           Foundation
           from
           them
           ;
           and
           I
           do
           surely
           think
           ,
           before
           God
           I
           speak
           it
           ,
           that
           the
           Bishops
           were
           the
           Cause
           of
           that
           doleful
           Message
           ,
           and
           I
           will
           shew
           you
           what
           moveth
           me
           so
           to
           think
           :
           I
           was
           amongst
           others
           the
           last
           Parliament
           sent
           unto
           the
           Bishop
           of
           Canterbury
           for
           the
           Articles
           of
           Religion
           that
           then
           passed
           this
           House
           ,
           he
           asked
           us
           why
           we
           did
           put
           out
           of
           the
           Book
           the
           Articles
           for
           the
           Homilies
           ,
           Consecrating
           of
           Bishops
           ,
           and
           such
           like
           ?
           Surely
           ,
           Sir
           ,
           said
           I
           ,
           because
           we
           were
           so
           occupied
           in
           other
           matters
           ,
           that
           we
           had
           no
           time
           to
           examine
           them
           how
           they
           agreed
           with
           the
           word
           of
           God
           :
           what
           ,
           said
           he
           ,
           surely
           you
           mistook
           the
           matter
           ,
           you
           will
           refer
           your selves
           wholly

           the

           Now
           to
           another
           great
           fault

           ,
           the
           which
           I
           would
           desire

           might
           be
           left
           ;
           I
           have
           from
           right
           good
           men

           although

           most
           earnestly
           spoken
           :
           I
           mused
           at
           it
           ,
           and
           asked

           it
           meant
           ,
           for
           I
           do
           think
           it
           a
           shameful
           thing

           and
           Body
           .
           I
           was
           answered
           that
           it
           was

           Policy

           brought
           hither
           a

           Nation

           press
           our
           Necks
           again
           into
           the
           Yoke

           terrible
           this

           to
           all
           the

           would
           have
           proved
           ,

           and
           by
           their
           occasion
           came
           the
           War
           that
           we
           entred
           into

           to
           their
           great
           advantage

           the

           said
           ,
           nevertheless
           that
           those
           also
           could
           not
           hold

           without
           great
           charge

           and
           their

           be
           so
           obeyed
           ,
           nor
           esteemed
           as
           the
           Acts

           Proceedings

           Justices
           themselves
           ;
           and
           therefore
           thought
           this
           Law
           necessary
           .
        
         
           To
           the
           second
           ,
           third
           and
           fourth
           ,
           he
           said
           that
           there
           was
           no
           meaning
           by
           the
           Lords
           that
           past
           the
           Bill
           to
           bring
           upon
           the
           Subjects
           any
           of
           those
           inconveniences
           that
           were
           noted
           by
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           ;
           howsoever
           the
           Bill
           might
           be
           penned
           contrary
           to
           their
           intentions
           ,
           and
           yet
           he
           thought
           that
           the
           words
           were
           misconceived
           and
           drawn
           to
           a
           harder
           sense
           than
           there
           was
           cause
           .
           Nevertheless
           he
           said
           the
           Lords
           could
           be
           well
           contented
           that
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           should
           reform
           such
           things
           in
           the
           Bill
           ,
           touching
           those
           points
           ,
           as
           they
           should
           find
           convenient
           ,
           so
           as
           the
           same
           were
           done
           with
           good
           consideration
           ,
           and
           upon
           sufficient
           cause
           ,
           whereof
           they
           doubted
           not
           .
        
         
           This
           being
           the
           substance
           of
           the
           Conference
           ,
           it

           House
           of

           :
           Whereupon
           the
           Speaker
           moved
           the
           said
           House
           to
           appoint
           some
           to
           amend
           those
           things
           which
           the
           Lords
           had
           yielded
           to
           have
           reformed
           ,
           that
           so
           the
           Bill
           might
           pass

           (

           more
           of

           and
           so
           it
           stayed
           without
           any
           further
           proceeding

           not
           think
           their
           Objections
           sufficiently
           answered

           for

           the

           probable

           To
           the
           first
           Objection
           it
           was

           graciously
           yielded
           to
           his
           Petition

           there
           was
           no
           doubt

           she

           well
           satisfied

           no
           cause

           this
           House

           mislike

           gracious
           Favours

           such
           Cases

           but
           rather
           to
           hope

           he
           being
           a
           young
           Nobleman

           Servant

           done

           The
           second
           Objection
           was
           thought
           worthy

           consideration
           ,

           not
           sufficient

           there
           might
           be
           other

           added

           The
           occasion
           of
           which
           Proviso
           grew
           chiefly
           ,
           for
           that
           the
           Lords
           had
           within
           few
           days
           before
           dashed
           a
           Bill

           passed

           helping
           of
           such
           Errors
           ;
           whereupon
           they
           thought
           it
           dangerous
           to
           give
           that
           scope
           to
           any
           man
           that
           should
           be
           restored
           in
           Blood
           :
           and
           therefore
           they
           added
           such
           a
           Proviso
           both
           to
           this

           During
           the
           time
           of

           Conference

           his
           Case
           was
           Ordered

           came
           to
           the
           place
           where
           the
           Committees
           sate
           ,
           and
           desired
           that
           himself
           and
           his
           Councel
           might
           be
           heard
           ,
           which
           they
           allowed
           him
           of
           their
           own
           discretion
           without
           the
           privity
           of
           the
           House
           :
           his
           Councel
           laboured
           to
           shew
           to
           the
           Committees
           ,
           that
           the
           saving
           already
           in
           the
           Bill
           was
           sufficient
           ,
           so
           as
           they
           then
           needed
           no
           addition
           of
           any
           other
           Proviso

           but
           being
           answered
           to
           all
           that
           he
           said
           he
           could
           not
           much
           reply
           ,
           but
           seemed
           to
           be
           satisfied
           .
        
         
           After
           which
           the
           Committees
           having
           agreed
           upon
           a
           Proviso
           repaired
           unto
           the
           House
           and
           made
           a
           report
           thereof
           ;
           but
           the
           Lord
           Stourton
           nothing
           contented
           therewithal
           ,
           procured
           immediately
           a
           Message
           from
           the

           in
           his
           favour
           ;
           which
           Message
           being
           more
           fully
           set
           down

           I

           touched
           in
           honor
           ,
           and
           thought
           that
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           did
           not
           use
           that
           reverence
           towards
           them
           which
           they
           ought
           to
           do
           ;
           the
           cause
           he
           said
           besides
           ,
           was
           such
           as
           they
           saw
           no
           reason
           why
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           should
           proceed
           in
           that
           Order
           ;
           for
           the
           Bill
           being
           signed
           by
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           none
           might
           presume
           to
           alter
           or
           add
           any
           thing
           to
           it
           without
           the
           assent
           of
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           which
           they
           for
           their
           parts
           durst
           not
           do
           ,
           and
           for
           proof
           hereof
           he
           shewed
           the
           Committees
           sundry
           Provisoes
           in
           King
           Henry
           the
           Eighths
           time
           annexed
           to
           the
           like
           Bills
           signed
           by
           the
           King
           ;
           inferring
           thereby
           that
           none
           might
           pass
           otherwise
           .
           Moreover
           he
           said
           that
           by
           the
           opinion
           of
           the
           Judges
           which
           were
           in
           the
           Upper
           House
           ,
           the
           saving
           already
           in
           the
           Bill
           was
           so
           sufficient
           that
           there
           needed
           not
           any
           addition
           of
           such
           Proviso
           as
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           had
           annexed
           ;
           and
           therefore
           required
           to
           know
           what
           reasons
           did
           lead
           them
           to
           proceed
           in
           this
           Order
           .
        
         
           This
           and
           some
           large
           Speeches
           being
           uttered
           to
           this
           end
           ,
           the
           Committees
           answered
           that
           their
           Commission
           was
           only
           to
           hear
           what
           their
           ,
           Lordships
           would
           say
           ,
           they
           would
           return
           and
           make
           report
           to
           the
           House
           ,
           and
           so
           attend
           again
           upon
           them
           with
           Answer
           .
        
         
           When
           this
           was
           reported
           to
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           ,
           it
           moved
           them
           all
           greatly
           ,
           and
           gave
           them
           occasion
           of
           many
           Arguments
           and
           Speeches
           ,
           all
           generally
           misliking
           this
           kind
           of
           dealing
           with
           them
           ,
           thinking
           their
           Liberties
           much
           touched
           in
           three
           points
           :
           one
           ,
           that
           they
           might
           not
           add
           or
           alter
           any
           Bill
           signed
           by
           the
           Queen
           ;
           another
           that
           any
           Conference
           should
           be
           looked
           for
           ,
           the
           Bill
           remaining
           with
           them
           ,
           except
           themselves
           saw
           cause
           to
           require
           it
           ;
           and
           the
           third
           to
           yield
           a
           reason
           why
           they
           passed
           the
           Bill
           in
           that
           sort
           .
           After
           all
           these
           things
           were
           sufficiently
           debated
           ,
           an
           Answer
           was
           agreed
           on
           to
           be
           returned
           to
           the
           Lords
           by
           the
           same
           Committees
           ,
           and
           they
           gave
           their
           attendance
           upon
           the
           same
           Lords
           in
           the
           former
           place
           ,
           to
           whom
           was
           said
           in
           effect
           by
           Sir
           
             Anthony
             Mildmay
          
           Knight
           Chancellor
           of
           the
           Exchequer
           ,
           one
           of
           the
           Committees
           in
           the
           name
           and
           by
           the
           consent
           of
           the
           rest
           .
        
         
           That
           they
           had
           delivered
           to
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           the
           sense
           of
           that
           which
           their
           Lordships
           had
           said
           unto
           them
           ,
           which
           as
           they
           had
           conceived
           ,
           did
           stand
           upon
           two
           parts
           :
           One
           the
           manner
           of
           their
           proceedings
           in
           this
           Case
           of
           the
           Lord
           Stourtons
           ;
           and
           the
           other
           matter
           wherein
           they
           had
           proceeded
           .
        
         
           To
           both
           which
           they
           had
           a
           Commission
           from
           the
           House
           to
           make
           unto
           their
           Lordships
           this
           Answer
           .
        
         
           First
           that
           they
           were
           very
           sorry
           that
           their
           Lordships
           had
           conceived
           such
           an
           opinion
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           as
           though
           they
           had
           forgotten
           their
           Duty
           to
           them
           ,
           praying
           their
           Lordships
           to
           think
           that
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           did
           not
           want
           consideration
           of
           the
           superiority
           of
           their
           Estates
           ,
           in
           respect
           of
           their
           honourable
           calling
           ,
           which
           they
           did
           acknowledge
           with
           all
           humbleness
           ,
           protesting
           that
           they
           would
           yield
           unto
           their
           Lordships
           all
           dutiful
           reverence
           so
           far
           as
           the
           same
           were
           not
           prejudicial
           to
           the
           Liberties
           of
           their
           House
           ,
           which
           behoveth
           them
           to
           leave
           to
           their
           Posterities
           in
           the
           same
           freedom
           they
           have
           received
           them
           ;
           and
           touching
           this
           particular
           case
           the
           manner
           of
           their
           proceedings
           hath
           not
           been
           as
           they
           think
           ,
           any
           ways
           undutiful
           or
           unseemly
           ,
           for
           the
           Bill
           being
           sent
           from
           their
           Lordships
           to
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           received
           there

           conceive
           amiss

           truest
           Reporters

           of
           their
           Answer

           once
           again
           pressed
           the
           Committees
           to
           shew
           the
           reasons
           that
           moved

           to
           add
           that

           being
           
             Richard
             Onslow
          
           Esquire
           the
           Queens
           Sollicitor
           ,
           on
           the
           very
           next
           day
           following
           ,
           being
           Wednesday
           the
           second
           day
           of
           October
           .
        
         
           But
           notwithstanding
           this
           precedent
           ,
           some
           were
           of
           opinion
           (
           although
           they
           did
           not
           utter
           it
           ,
           because
           they
           supposed
           themselves
           not
           warranted
           to
           treat
           of
           any
           thing
           ,
           much
           less
           of
           any
           dealing
           with
           the
           Upper
           House
           without
           a
           Speaker
           ,
           or
           without
           her
           Majesties
           Commandment
           )
           that
           this
           was
           the
           only
           precedent
           that
           could
           be
           shewed
           in
           such
           manner
           of
           proceeding
           ,
           and
           was
           but
           an
           innovation
           ,
           and
           not
           warranted
           upon
           good
           grounds
           ,
           but
           rather
           subject
           to
           inconvenience
           and
           peril
           .
           So
           first
           they
           thought
           it
           was
           a
           breach
           of
           Duty
           to
           the
           Queen
           ,
           that
           we
           should
           enter
           into
           that
           or
           any
           other
           Consultation
           before
           her
           Majesties
           Pleasure
           known
           touching
           a
           Speaker
           .
        
         
           Item
           there
           was
           no
           warrant
           to
           resolve
           us
           any
           thing
           ,
           so
           that
           there
           was
           no
           person
           to
           take
           the
           Voices
           or
           moderate
           the
           Consultation
           .
        
         
           Item
           those
           who
           should
           go
           on
           such
           Message
           ,
           could
           have
           no
           good
           warrant
           to
           deliver
           it
           in
           the
           name
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           when
           the
           House
           could
           treat
           of
           nothing
           .
        
         
           Item
           it
           had
           some
           inconvenience
           of
           drawing
           a
           special
           Prerogative
           to
           those
           of
           the
           House
           that
           were
           of
           her
           Majesties
           Councel
           from
           the
           rest
           of
           the
           House
           .
        
         
           Item
           it
           had
           greater
           peril
           of
           precedent
           to
           draw
           the
           Petitions
           of
           the
           House
           to
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           to
           be
           done
           by
           mediation
           of
           the
           Upper
           House
           ;
           and
           they
           thought
           it
           to
           stand
           much
           in
           duty
           and
           humility
           to
           the
           Queen
           ,
           not
           to
           presume
           to
           make
           such
           Petition
           ,
           or
           to
           make
           difference
           in
           proceeding
           upon
           a
           Parliament
           newly
           Summoned
           ,
           and
           a
           Session
           of
           Parliament
           held
           by
           Prorogation
           as
           it
           is
           used
           upon
           new
           Summons
           ,
           so
           to
           sit
           still
           in
           all
           humility
           ,
           expecting
           that
           the
           House
           should
           be
           sent
           for
           to
           the
           Upper
           House
           ,
           there
           to
           receive
           her
           Majesties
           Pleasure
           and
           Commandment
           to
           chuse
           a
           Speaker
           ;
           which
           her
           Pleasure
           might
           either
           be
           delivered
           by
           the
           Lord
           Chancellor
           in
           her
           Majesties
           Presence
           ,
           or
           in
           her
           absence
           by
           Commission
           ,
           as
           in
           Cases
           of
           Prorogations
           and
           such
           like
           doings
           is
           used
           .
           And
           for
           that
           it
           might
           be
           doubted
           how
           her
           Majesty
           should
           have
           notice
           that
           the
           Speakers
           place
           was
           void
           :
           it
           was
           to
           be
           Answered
           ,
           that
           the
           House
           it self
           judicially
           hath
           no
           notice
           but
           by
           relation
           of
           his
           Death
           as
           her
           Majesty
           hath
           .
           And
           her
           Majesty
           hath
           the
           more
           certain
           notice
           ,
           
           for
           that
           her self
           had
           made
           Sir
           
             Robert

           Lord

           so
           his
           place
           of
           Speaker
           void
           as
           some
           thought
           ,
           although
           some
           others
           thought
           that
           the
           Chief
           Baron
           may
           be

           his
           Death
           made

           viz.
           
        
         
           Nota
           ,
           That
           this
           Argument
           doth
           very
           solidly
           and
           fully
           prove

           that
           the

           ,
           Citizens
           and
           Burgesses
           of
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           ought
           not
           at
           this
           time
           to
           have
           joined
           with
           the

           House
           in

           Speaker
           ,
           in
           respect
           that
           her
           Majesty
           could
           not
           but
           take
           notice
           of
           it
           as
           well

           the
           rather
           at
           this
           present
           because
           she
           had
           first
           made
           Sir

           their

           Chief
           Baron
           of
           the
           Exchequer
           ,
           by
           which
           many
           supposed
           his
           place
           of
           Speaker
           was

           ;
           and
           lastly

           and
           the

           But
           yet
           I
           conceive
           that
           these
           two
           opinions
           may
           well
           stand

           here
           the
           Lord
           Chancellor
           was
           pleased
           not

           a
           Writ
           for
           a
           new
           Election

           but
           to
           stay

           Judgment
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           which
           was
           without
           all
           question
           the
           most
           just
           and
           safe
           way
           of
           Proceeding
           ;
           whereas
           in
           those
           other
           before-recited
           Cases
           he
           had
           granted
           out
           Writs
           for
           new
           Elections
           upon
           meer
           suggestions
           ;
           and
           then
           without
           all
           question

           The
           principal
           cause
           of
           our

           do
           concern
           the
           Realm
           ,
           I
           have
           thought
           good
           with
           your
           patience
           to
           remember
           you
           of
           such
           things
           as
           for
           the
           weight
           and
           necessity
           of
           them
           I
           take
           to
           be
           worthy
           of
           your
           considerations
           .
           Wherein
           I
           mean
           to
           note
           unto
           you
           what
           I
           have
           conceived
           first
           of
           the
           present
           state
           we
           be
           in
           ,
           next
           of
           the
           dangers
           we
           may
           justly
           be
           in
           doubt
           of
           ,
           and
           lastly
           what
           provision
           ought
           to
           be
           made
           in
           time

           These
           shewed

           briefly

           the
           matters
           will
           suffer
           ,
           I
           leave
           them
           to
           your
           Judgments
           to
           proceed

           our
           most

           for
           a
           time
           was
           over-shadowed

           that
           implacable
           malice
           of
           the

           we
           have
           justly
           to
           doubt
           great
           mischief
           threatned
           to
           this
           Realm

           and
           therewith
           you
           may
           easily
           see
           also
           how

           her
           Majesty
           not
           only
           to
           provide
           in
           time
           sufficient
           Laws

           the
           continuing
           of
           this
           peaceable
           Government

           but
           also
           to
           be
           ready

           Forces

           What
           difference
           there
           is
           between
           the
           Popes
           persecuting
           Church

           this
           mild
           Church

           Ages

           and
           especially
           in
           the
           late
           Government
           compared
           with
           the
           merciful
           time
           of
           her
           Majesties
           Reign

           the

           of
           which
           Clemency
           is
           also
           to
           be
           wished
           so
           far
           as
           may
           stand
           with
           Gods
           Honour

           of

           when
           by
           long
           proof
           we
           find
           that
           this
           favourable
           and

           of

           them
           by
           fair
           means
           if
           it
           were
           possible
           ,
           hath
           done
           no
           good
           ,
           but
           hath
           bred
           in
           them
           a
           more
           arrogant

           contemptuous
           Spirit
           ,
           so
           as
           they
           have
           not
           only
           presumed
           to

           also
           to
           accept
           from
           Rome
           secret
           Absolutions

           that
           by
           the
           hands
           of
           lewd
           Runnagates

           Obedience
           to
           the
           Pope
           ,
           by
           their

           now
           I
           say
           it
           is
           time
           for
           us
           to
           look
           more
           narrowly
           and
           strictly
           to
           them
           ,
           lest
           as
           they
           be
           corrupt
           ,
           so
           they
           prove
           dangerous
           Members
           to
           many
           born
           within
           the
           entrals
           of
           our
           Common-Wealth
           .
        
         
           And
           seeing
           that
           the
           Lenity
           of
           the
           time
           and
           the
           mildness
           of
           the
           Laws
           heretofore
           made
           ,
           are
           no
           small
           cause
           of
           their
           arrogant
           disobedience
           ,
           it
           is
           necessary
           that
           we
           make
           a
           provision
           of
           Laws
           more
           strict
           and
           more
           severe
           to
           constrain
           them
           to
           yield
           their
           open
           Obedience
           ,
           at
           the
           least

           to
           her
           Majesty

           causes
           of

           and
           not
           to
           live
           as
           they
           list
           to
           the
           perillous
           Example
           of
           others
           ,
           and
           to
           the
           encouraging

           evil

           needs
           submit
           themselves
           to
           the
           Benediction
           of
           the
           Pope
           ,
           they
           may
           feel
           how
           little
           his
           Curses
           can
           hurt
           us
           ,
           and
           how
           little
           his
           Blessings
           can
           save
           them
           from
           that
           punishment
           which
           we

           able

           away
           from
           her
           Majesty
           that
           Obedience

           Provision

           Preparation

           by

           God

           this
           Kingdom
           in
           an

           The

           more
           freedom

           Nation

           the
           Sun

           not
           that
           breed
           in
           us
           a
           careless
           Security
           ,
           as
           though
           this
           clear
           Sun-light
           could
           never
           be
           darkened

           but
           let
           us
           think
           certainly
           that
           the
           Pope
           and
           his
           Favourers
           do
           both
           envy
           our
           Felicity
           ,
           and
           leave
           no
           practice
           unsought
           to
           over-throw
           the
           same
           .
           And
           if
           any
           man
           be
           so
           dull
           (
           as
           I
           trust
           there
           be
           none
           here
           )
           that
           he
           cannot
           conceive
           the
           blessedness
           of
           this
           our
           golden
           Peace
           ,
           except
           he
           felt
           the
           lack
           of
           it
           ;
           let
           him
           but
           cast
           his
           Eyes
           over
           the
           Seas
           ,
           into
           our
           Neighbours
           Countries
           ,
           and
           there
           behold
           what
           trouble
           the
           Pope
           and
           his
           Ministers
           have
           stirred
           against
           such
           as
           profess
           the
           same
           Religion
           of
           Jesus
           Christ
           as
           we
           do
           :
           there
           he
           may
           find
           Depopulations
           and
           Devastations
           of
           whole
           Provinces
           and
           Countries
           ,
           over-throwing
           ,
           spoiling
           and
           sacking
           of
           Cities
           and
           Towns
           ,
           Imprisoning
           ,
           ransoming
           and
           murthering
           of
           all
           kind
           of
           People
           ;
           besides
           other
           infinite
           Calamities
           which
           the
           insolency
           of
           War
           doth
           usually
           bring
           with
           it
           .
        
         
           From
           these
           God
           in
           his
           Mercy
           hath
           delivered
           us
           ;
           but
           this
           nevertheless
           is
           the
           State
           and
           condition
           that
           our
           Enemies
           would
           see
           us
           in
           ,
           if
           by
           any
           device
           they
           could
           bring
           it
           to
           pass
           ;
           and
           to
           that
           end
           be
           then
           assured
           they
           will
           spare

           all

           all
           the

           And
           that
           there
           be
           some
           fault-finders

           the
           Order
           of

           so
           may
           make
           a
           slander
           to
           my self
           and
           the

           whose
           over-Ruler
           God

           Thus
           much
           I

           All
           which
           if

           Look

           well

           This
           may

           I
           am
           supposed
           to
           have
           many
           studies
           ,
           but
           most
           Philosophical
           .
           I
           must
           yield
           this
           to
           be
           true

           that
           I
           suppose
           few
           (
           that
           be
           no
           Professors

           have
           read
           more
           .
           And
           I
           need
           not
           tell
           you
           that
           I
           am
           so
           simple
           ,
           that
           I
           understand
           not
           ,
           nor
           so
           forgetful

           that
           I
           remember

           and

           amidst
           my
           many
           Volumes
           I
           hope
           Gods
           Book
           hath
           not
           been
           my
           seldomest
           Lectures
           ,
           in
           which
           we
           find
           that
           which
           by
           reason
           (
           for
           my
           part
           )
           we
           ought
           to
           believe
           ;
           that
           seeing
           so
           great
           wickedness
           and
           greeves
           in
           the
           World
           in
           which
           we
           live
           ,
           but
           as
           way-faring
           Pilgrims
           ,
           we
           must
           suppose
           that
           God
           would
           never
           have
           made
           us
           but
           for
           a
           better
           place
           ,
           and
           of
           more
           comfort
           than
           we
           find
           here
           .
           I
           know
           no
           Creature
           that
           breatheth
           ,
           whose
           life
           standeth
           hourly
           in
           more
           peril
           for
           it
           than
           mine
           own
           ,
           who
           entred
           not
           into
           my
           state
           without
           sight
           of
           manifold
           dangers
           of
           life
           and
           Crown
           ,
           as
           one
           that
           had
           the
           mightiest
           and
           greatest
           to
           wrestle
           with
           .
           Then
           it
           followeth
           that
           I
           regarded
           it
           so
           much
           ,
           as
           I
           left
           my
           life
           behind
           my
           care
           ;
           and
           so
           you
           see
           that
           you
           wrong
           me
           too
           much

           if
           any
           such
           there
           be
           )
           as
           doubt
           my

           mine

           the
           true
           way
           of
           Gods
           will
           ,
           God
           forbid
           that
           I
           should
           live
           to
           prescribe
           it
           to
           you
           .
           Take
           you
           heed
           lest
           Ecclesiastes
           say
           not
           too
           true
           ,
           
             They
             that
             fear
             the

           I
           see
           many
           over-bold
           with
           God
           Almighty
           ,
           making
           too
           many
           subtle
           scannings
           of
           his
           blessed
           will

           do
           with
           humane
           Testaments

           The
           presumption
           is
           so
           great
           ,
           as
           I
           may

           dangerous

           a
           Kingly

           to
           have
           every
           man
           according

           not
           be

           private
           mens

           God
           defend
           you

           strange
           discovery
           of
           that
           bloody

           At

           time
           the

           three

           not
           as
           her
           Majesty
           afterward
           professed
           ,
           
           because
           she
           feared
           the
           Violence
           of

           but
           because

           abhorred
           to
           be
           an
           hearer
           of
           so
           foul
           ,
           and
           unnatural
           a
           conspiracy
           plotted
           against
           her
           by
           the
           Scottish
           Queen
           ,
           a
           Kinswoman
           so
           near
           to
           her
           Highness
           ;
           Yet
           by
           this
           means
           her
           absence
           doubtless
           drew
           on
           the
           greater
           safety
           ;
           and

           Loving
           and
           Loyal
           Subjects
           did
           the
           more
           clearly
           perceive
           in
           how
           great
           and
           unavoidable
           danger
           she
           stood
           as
           long
           as
           that
           Queen
           lived
           ,
           and
           were
           therefore
           doubtless
           stirred
           up
           to
           consult
           in
           this
           so
           important
           a
           Cause
           with
           the
           greater
           Zeal
           and
           earnestness
           for
           the
           preservation
           of
           Religion
           ,
           the
           Security
           of
           her
           Majesties
           Life
           ,
           and
           the
           safety
           of
           
           these

           some
           of

           suffered

           their
           demerits

           not
           convenient

           that
           they
           thought
           it
           prejudicial

           yet
           in
           this
           case
           they
           took
           them
           not
           for
           Judges
           in

           Speeches

           had
           not
           throughly
           digested
           ,
           Mr.
           Chancellor
           of
           the
           Exchequer
           stood
           up
           ,
           and
           offering
           to
           speak
           of
           some
           great
           matter

           but
           yet
           without
           prejudice
           to
           the
           due
           consideration
           of
           the
           things
           then
           in
           disputation
           )
           as
           very
           necessary
           ,
           but
           yet
           to
           be
           referred

           mind
           of
           the
           prosperous
           and
           quiet
           state
           of
           this
           Realm
           under
           her
           Majesties
           most
           happy
           and
           Blessed
           Government
           by
           the
           space
           now
           of
           thirty
           years
           .
        
         
           But
           what
           should
           here
           follow
           is
           very
           negligently
           omitted
           ,
           especially
           there
           being
           almost
           three
           entire
           blank
           pages
           left
           for
           the
           inserting
           of
           it
           :
           but
           it
           may
           probably
           be
           conjectured
           that
           the
           chief
           end
           and
           scope
           of
           his
           Speech
           was
           ,
           as
           to
           set
           forth
           the
           Excellency
           and
           Justice
           of
           her
           Majestres
           Government
           ,
           so
           also
           to
           demonstrate
           the
           great
           Malice
           and
           Cruelty
           of
           the
           King
           of
           Spain
           ,
           backed
           and
           assisted
           by
           so
           many
           Potent
           Allies
           ;
           and
           that
           therefore
           it
           would
           be
           most
           necessary
           that
           some
           timely
           consultation
           be
           had
           for
           speedy
           preparation
           to
           be
           made
           ,
           whereby
           to
           resist
           all
           his
           future
           attempts
           .
           And
           that
           lastly
           he
           did
           thereupon
           move
           the
           House
           to
           think
           of
           some
           supply
           to
           be
           given
           to
           her
           Majesty
           both
           in
           respect
           of
           her
           late
           great
           Charges
           ,
           and
           also
           for
           the
           better
           enabling
           her
           to
           provide
           for
           the
           future
           safety
           of
           her
           Highness
           Dominions
           .
           And
           that
           the
           latter
           part
           of
           the
           foresaid
           Speech
           of

           But
           the
           principal
           Cause
           of
           this
           Parliament
           is
           ,
           that

           consult

           the
           better

           of
           those
           intended
           Invasions
           which
           are
           now
           greater

           were
           ever
           heretofore
           heard
           of

           And
           whereas
           heretofore
           it
           hath
           been
           used
           that
           many
           have
           delighted
           themselves
           in
           long
           Orations
           ,
           full
           of
           verbosity
           and
           of
           vain
           ostentations
           ,
           more
           than
           in
           speaking
           things
           of
           substance
           ;
           The
           time
           that
           is
           precious
           would
           not
           be
           thus
           spent
           .
           The
           Sessions
           cannot
           be
           long
           ,
           by
           reason
           the
           Spring
           time
           't
           is
           fit
           that
           Gentlemen
           should
           repair
           to
           their

           go
           their
           Circuits
           ;
           So
           the
           good
           hours
           should
           not
           be
           lost
           in
           idle
           Speeches
           ,
           but
           the
           little
           time
           we
           have
           should
           be
           bestowed
           wholly
           on
           such
           businesses

           are
           needful

           ever
           you
           were
           given
           us
           ;
           and
           the
           hazard
           that
           your
           Majesty
           hath
           adventured
           ,
           and
           the
           Charge
           that
           you
           have
           born
           for
           us
           and
           our
           safety
           ,
           ought
           to
           make
           us
           ready
           to
           lay
           down
           our selves
           and
           all
           our

           you
           service

           &c.
           
        
         
           After
           this
           he
           related
           the
           great
           Attempts
           of
           her
           Majesties
           Enemies
           against
           us
           ,
           especially
           the
           Pope
           ,
           and
           the
           King
           of
           Spain
           who
           adhered
           unto
           him
           .
           How
           wonderfully
           we
           were
           delivered
           in
           Eighty
           eight
           ,
           and
           what
           a
           favour
           God
           therein
           manifested
           unto
           her
           Majesty
           .
        
         
           His
           Speech
           after
           this
           tended
           wholly
           to
           shew
           out
           of
           the
           History
           of
           England
           ,
           and
           the
           old
           State
           ,
           how
           the
           Kings
           of
           England
           ever
           since
           Henry
           the
           Thirds
           time
           have
           maintained
           themselves

           Supreme
           Head

           their
           own
           Dominions
           .
           And
           then
           reciting
           the
           Laws
           that
           every
           one
           made
           in
           his
           time
           ,
           for
           maintaining
           their
           own
           Supremacy
           ,
           and
           excluding
           the
           Pope
           ,
           he
           drew
           down
           this
           proof
           by
           a
           Statute
           of
           every
           King

           Henry
           the

           to
           Edward

           Sixth

           This
           ended
           ,
           he
           came
           to
           speak
           of
           Laws
           ,
           that
           were
           so
           great
           and
           so
           many
           already
           ,
           that
           they
           were
           fit

           Therefore
           to
           make
           more
           Laws
           it
           might
           seem
           superfluous

           And
           to
           him
           that

           The

           it

           Now

           of
           the

           First
           ,
           That
           liberty
           of
           Speech
           and
           freedom
           from
           Arrests

           according
           to
           the
           Ancient
           Custom
           of
           Parliament

           be
           granted
           to
           your
           Subjects
           ;
           Secondly
           ,
           That
           we
           may
           have
           access
           unto
           your
           Royal
           Person
           to
           present
           those
           things

           shall
           be
           considered

           But
           this
           said
           last
           Petition
           seems
           to
           have
           been
           mistaken
           by
           that
           Anonymus
           ,
           out
           of
           whom
           this
           said
           Speech
           is
           transcribed
           as
           aforesaid
           :
           for
           this
           Petition
           is
           proper
           and
           usual
           at
           the
           end
           of
           a
           Sessions
           upon
           a
           Prorogation
           ,
           or
           of
           a
           Parliament
           upon
           a
           Dissolution
           ,
           when
           the
           two
           Houses
           have
           passed
           divers
           Acts
           ,
           which
           only
           want
           the
           Royal
           Assent

           put
           life
           into
           them
           .
           And
           doubtless
           the
           third
           Petition
           which
           should
           have
           ensued
           here
           ,
           was
           for
           freedom
           from
           Arrests
           for
           themselves
           and
           their
           necessary
           Attendants
           ,
           which
           being
           wholly
           omitted
           ,
           I
           have
           before
           caused
           to
           be
           inserted
           (
           though
           more
           briefly
           )
           in
           its
           proper
           place
           .
           And
           thus
           this
           mistake
           being
           cleared
           ,
           the
           residue
           of
           the
           said
           Speakers
           Speech
           ensueth
           .
           And
           for
           my self
           I
           humbly
           beseech
           your
           Majesty
           ,
           if
           any
           Speech
           shall
           fall
           from
           me
           ,
           or
           behaviour
           found
           in
           me
           not
           decent
           and
           fit
           ,
           that
           it
           may
           not
           be
           imputed
           blame
           upon
           the
           House
           ,
           but
           laid
           upon
           me
           and
           pardoned
           in
           me
           .
        
         
           To
           this
           Speech
           the
           Lord
           Keeper
           having
           received
           new
           Instructions
           from
           the
           Queen
           ,
           made
           his
           Reply
           ;
           in
           which
           he
           first
           commended

           Nota

           That
           this
           is
           one
           of
           those
           Proxies
           which
           I
           call
           unusual
           and
           extraordinary
           ,
           in
           respect
           that
           this
           Bishop
           of
           Carlisle
           did
           make
           or
           constitute
           three
           several
           Proctors
           ,
           whereas
           usually
           a
           Spiritual
           Lord
           nominateth
           but
           two
           
             conjunctim
             &
             divisim
          
           ,
           and
           a
           Temporal
           Lord
           but
           one
           ,
           and
           that
           also
           of
           their
           own
           Order
           :
           whence
           it
           is
           plain
           that
           these
           Proxies
           may
           not
           unfitly
           be
           stiled
           unusual
           ,
           whereby
           the
           Spiritual
           Lords
           do
           appoint
           Temporal
           
           Lords
           for
           their
           Proctors
           ,
           or
           but
           one
           Proctor
           a
           piece
           ,
           or
           more
           than
           two
           ,
           or
           when
           any
           Temporal
           Lord
           nominateth
           a
           Spiritual
           for
           his
           Proctor
           ,
           or
           constituteth
           more
           Proctors
           than
           one
           .
           And
           therefore
           it
           is
           worth
           the
           observation
           ,
           that
           at
           this
           very
           time
           ,
           of
           nine
           Temporal
           Lords
           that
           sent
           their
           Proxies
           this
           Parliament
           by
           her
           Majesties
           Licence
           ,
           but
           one
           of
           them
           nominated
           two
           Proctors
           .
           Which
           see
           upon
           Monday
           the
           first
           day
           of
           March
           ensuing
           ,
           all
           the
           rest
           constituting
           but
           one
           .
           Yet
           the
           Proxies
           of
           the
           Spiritual
           Lords

           were
           all
           of
           them
           unusual
           and
           extraordinary
           ;
           which
           I
           conceive
           is
           not
           easily
           to
           be
           patterned
           in
           any
           other
           Parliaments
           except
           the
           first

           was
           sent

           Edmond
           Bishop
           of
           Norwich
           ,
           in
           which
           he
           constituted
           only
           John
           Bishop
           of
           London
           and
           Richard
           Bishop

           Proctors

           foregoing
           ,

           a
           thing
           usual

           not
           worth

           Answer

           verbatim
           to
           the

           viz.
           That
           her
           Majesty
           did
           most
           graciously
           accept
           of
           these
           Services

           Devotions
           of
           this
           Parliament

           commending
           them
           that
           they
           had
           imployed
           the
           time
           so
           well
           and
           spent
           it
           in
           so
           necessary
           affairs
           ,
           save
           only

           had
           spent
           more
           time
           than
           needed
           .
           But
           she
           perceived
           that
           some
           men
           did
           it
           more
           for
           their
           satisfaction
           than
           the
           necessity
           of

           thing
           deserved
           .
           She
           misliketh
           also
           that
           such
           irreverence
           was
           shewed
           towards
           Privy

           service

           That
           the
           Queens
           Majesty
           had
           heard

           some
           men
           in
           the
           Cause
           of
           great

           grant
           of
           Aid
           ,
           had
           seemed
           to
           regard
           their
           Country
           ,
           and
           made
           their
           necessity
           more
           than
           it
           was
           ,
           forgetting
           the
           urgent
           necessity
           of
           the
           time
           and
           dangers
           that
           were
           now
           imminent
           .
        
         
           That
           her
           Majesty
           would
           not
           have
           the
           people
           seared
           with
           a
           report
           of
           great
           dangers

           but
           rather
           to
           be
           encouraged
           with
           boldness
           against
           the
           Enemies
           of
           the
           State.

           that
           therefore
           she
           straitly
           charged

           be
           supplied

           if
           they
           were
           decayed

           that
           their
           Provisions
           of
           Armor
           and
           Munition
           should
           be
           better
           than
           heretofore
           it
           hath
           been
           used

           her
           Majesty
           most
           graciously
           in

           willingly
           given

           she
           did
           not
           accept
           of
           it
           ;
           for
           her
           Majesty
           never
           accepteth
           any

           other
           Princely
           Ornaments

           the

           that
           only

           from
           these
           attempts

           My
           Mind

           Yet
           the
           King

           of
           all
           these
           Wars
           .
           He
           doth
           me
           the
           greatest
           wrong
           that
           can
           be
           ;
           for
           my
           Conscience
           doth
           not
           accuse
           my
           thoughts
           ,
           wherein
           I
           have
           done
           him
           the
           least
           Injury
           ;
           so
           that
           I
           am
           perswaded
           in
           my

           I
           know
           ,
           he
           would
           be
           sorry
           himself
           for
           the
           wrong
           he
           hath
           done
           me
           .
           I
           fear

           all
           his
           Threatnings
           ,
           his
           great
           Preparations
           and

           with
           a

           Power
           than
           ever

           ,
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           (
           God
           assisting
           me
           ,
           upon
           whom
           I
           always
           trust
           )
           I
           shall
           be
           able
           to
           defeat
           him
           and
           overthrow
           him
           .
           For
           my
           Cause
           is
           Just.
           I
           heard
           say
           when
           he
           attempted
           his
           last
           Invasion
           ,
           some
           upon
           the
           Sea-Coasts
           forsook
           their
           Towns
           and
           fled
           up
           higher
           into
           the
           Country
           ,
           and
           left
           all
           naked
           and
           exposed
           to
           his
           Entrance
           :
           But
           I
           swear
           unto
           you
           ,
           By
           God
           ,
           if
           I
           knew
           those
           persons
           ,
           or
           may
           know
           of
           any
           that
           shall
           do
           so
           hereafter
           ,
           I
           will
           make
           them
           know
           and
           feel
           what
           it
           is
           to
           be
           so
           fearful
           in
           so
           urgent
           a
           Cause
           .
        
         
           The
           Subsidy
           you
           give
           me
           I
           accept
           thankfully
           ,
           if
           you
           give
           me
           your
           good
           will
           with
           it
           ;
           but
           if
           
           the
           necessity
           of
           the
           time
           and
           your
           Preservations
           did
           not
           require
           it
           ,
           I
           would
           refuse
           it
           .
           But
           let
           me
           tell

           is
           not
           so
           much
           ,
           but
           that
           it
           is
           needful
           for
           a
           Prince
           to
           have
           so
           much
           always
           lying
           in
           her
           Coffers
           for
           your

           in
           time
           of
           need
           ,
           and
           not
           be
           driven

           it
           when
           she
           should
           use
           it

           thereby
           most
           unnaturally
           depriving

           which
           as
           it
           caused

           to
           think

           past
           so
           long
           and
           perhaps
           beyond
           my
           reach
           ,
           but
           with
           things
           past
           of
           late
           years
           and
           since
           Eighty
           eight
           .
           When
           we
           were
           so
           secure
           and
           never
           thought
           that
           the
           King
           of
           Spain
           would
           have
           set
           up
           his
           Rest
           for
           England
           ;
           Then
           sent
           he
           his
           Navy
           termed
           Invincible
           ,
           and
           was
           almost
           upon
           the
           Banks
           of
           us
           before
           we
           were
           aware
           .
           Yea
           we
           were
           so
           slack
           in
           provision
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           too
           late
           to
           make
           resistance
           ,
           had
           not
           God

           greatly
           prevailed

           it
           is
           but
           a

           yet

           These

           that
           came

           the

           The

           malice
           thus
           daily
           increaseth
           against
           us
           ,
           and
           seeketh
           also
           to

           The

           Papists
           daily
           increaseth

           more
           manifest
           .
           My
           advice
           is
           ,
           that
           you
           would
           consult
           how
           to
           withstand
           such
           imminent
           dangers
           ,
           which
           the
           greater
           they
           be
           ,
           the
           sooner
           they
           would
           be
           looked
           into
           and
           remembred
           .
           Wherefore
           I
           would
           desire
           M
           r
           Speaker
           that
           he
           would
           appoint
           some
           Committees
           of
           the
           sufficientest
           and
           wisest
           men
           in
           the
           House
           to
           consider
           thereon
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             John
             Wolley
          
           spake
           to
           the
           like
           Effect
           ,
           saying
           ,
           that
           upon
           the
           Cause
           of
           the
           danger
           the
           Realm
           was
           now
           in
           ,
           and
           of
           the
           remedy
           ,
           his
           Speech
           should
           consist
           ;
           which
           he
           likened
           to
           a
           natural
           Body
           ,
           in
           which
           the
           more
           danger
           the
           principal
           Member
           was
           in
           ,
           the
           greater
           means
           there
           should
           be
           used
           for
           the
           preservation
           thereof
           .
           Roan
           being
           made
           now
           Admiral
           of
           France
           by
           the
           League
           ,
           should
           say
           ,
           that
           he
           was
           a
           poor
           Admiral
           now
           ,
           but
           yet
           he
           doubted
           not
           '
           but
           that
           shortly
           he
           should
           be
           able
           to
           bring
           such
           a
           Navy
           as
           should
           terrify
           the
           Queen
           of
           England
           .
           Also
           he

           the
           Princes
           of
           the

           And
           exhorted
           the
           House

           now
           because
           the

           which
           calleth
           many
           of

           in
           the
           Town

           so
           that
           many
           of
           that
           House
           he
           thought
           knew
           not
           whether

           infected
           or
           not
           ,
           that
           they
           would
           seek
           to
           dispatch
           and
           end
           the
           Parliament

           soon
           as
           might
           be
           .
           He
           also
           shewed
           how
           the
           Dunkirkers
           trouled
           
           our
           Fishermen
           in
           small
           Barks
           upon
           the
           Sea-coasts
           .
           And
           so
           that
           this
           matter
           might
           be
           Committed
           to
           some
           of
           the
           sufficientest
           in
           the
           House
           .
           He
           also
           exhorted
           the
           House
           to
           a
           speedy
           agreeing
           of
           a
           Subsidy
           :
           which
           considering
           the
           dangers
           we
           were
           in
           ,
           and
           that
           it
           was
           for
           our
           own
           good
           ,
           as
           also
           for
           her
           Majesty's
           ,
           he
           hoped
           that
           no
           good
           Subject
           but
           would
           willingly
           agree
           to
           it
           .
           Also
           he
           shewed
           that
           the
           Wars
           with
           the
           King
           of
           Spain
           had
           cost
           her
           Majesty
           a
           Million
           of
           Money
           :
           but
           this
           he
           avouched
           ,
           that
           where
           it
           cost
           her
           Majesty
           one
           ,
           it
           cost
           the
           King
           of
           Spain
           three
           .
        
         
           Then

           trouble
           ,
           of
           the
           great
           danger
           which
           is

           take
           such
           Oaths

           because
           they

           of

           And
           if
           they
           refuse

           such
           Oath

           then

           them

           mention
           made

           M
           r
           Dalton
           stood
           up
           and
           spake
           with
           much
           earnestness
           against
           it
           ,
           saying
           ,
           It
           is
           hard
           upon
           a
           sudden
           for
           me
           to
           Answer
           a
           long
           premeditated
           Speech
           ,
           but
           as
           I
           am
           able
           I
           will
           say
           and
           shew
           what
           I
           think
           of
           the
           Bill
           Exhibited
           .
           It
           pretends
           great
           things
           in
           shew
           ,
           tending
           to
           the
           hindrance
           of
           Gods
           service
           and
           the
           derogation
           of
           her
           Majesties
           Prerogative
           ,
           to
           the
           overthrow
           of
           our
           Laws
           and
           violating
           of
           our
           Liberties
           ;
           Things
           I
           say
           great
           in
           shew
           ,
           but
           no
           such
           things
           to
           be
           found
           in
           the
           matter
           spoke
           against
           .
           It
           is
           easy
           to
           make
           of
           a
           Mole-Hill
           a
           Mountain
           in
           words
           ,
           so
           by
           a
           well
           compiled
           Speech
           to
           make
           a
           great
           and
           dangerous
           thing
           of
           nothing
           ;
           nay
           a
           thing
           indeed
           needless
           ;
           for
           that
           the
           State
           hath
           hitherto
           always
           stood
           upon
           this
           Government
           .
           And
           so
           shewed
           how
           Ecclesiastical
           Government
           was
           distinct
           from
           the
           Temporal
           .
           The
           Reasons
           he
           gave
           were
           few
           or
           none
           ;
           only
           his
           great
           dislike
           was
           ,
           that
           having
           received
           strait
           Commandment
           from
           her
           Majesty
           not
           to
           meddle
           with
           things
           concerning
           the
           Reformation
           of
           the
           Church
           and
           State
           of
           this
           Realm
           ,
           therefore
           in
           his
           opinion
           the
           Bill
           ought
           to
           be
           suppressed
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             John
             Woolley
          
           spake
           also
           against
           the
           Bill
           disallowing
           the
           matters
           in
           it
           :
           And
           taking
           it
           as
           too
           busy
           a
           medling
           in
           such
           a
           thing
           so
           forbidden
           by
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           so
           he
           thought
           it
           not
           fit
           that
           it
           should
           be
           read
           .
        
         
           Then
           spake
           Sir
           
             Francis
             Knowles
          
           ,
           allowing
           the
           Bill
           ,
           and
           Answered
           ,
           That
           whereas
           it
           was
           condemned
           as
           seeking
           the
           overthrow
           of
           a
           Member
           of
           the
           State
           ,
           and
           so
           against
           the
           Law
           ,
           it
           tended
           in
           his
           opinion
           but
           to
           the
           reforming
           of
           abuses
           and
           restraining
           of
           the
           Prelates
           :
           That
           if
           they
           meddle
           against
           the
           Laws
           ,
           they
           shall
           incur
           a
           praemunire
           .
           So
           that
           he
           thought
           the
           Bill
           to
           be
           good

           fit

           And
           first
           he
           shewed

           that
           as

           so
           was
           it
           also
           in
           the

           greedy
           of
           alteration
           .
           That
           this
           Eversion

           and
           in
           shooting
           at
           their
           Jurisdiction
           their
           aim
           was
           at
           their
           places
           ;
           as

           Then
           he
           entred
           into
           a
           Discourse

           most
           famous

           this
           Government
           now
           exercised
           by
           the
           Bishops
           to
           have
           been
           used
           .
           He
           endeavoured
           to
           prove
           the
           Bishops
           to
           be
           such

           could
           be
           no
           Body
           .
           And
           in
           comparing
           it
           with
           the
           state
           of
           the
           Natural
           Body
           ,
           he
           termed
           the
           Prince
           and
           the
           Counsellors

           and
           as
           the
           Head

           The

           the
           common
           people

           Legs
           .
           Now
           to
           take
           away
           the
           Shoulders
           from
           the
           Body
           were
           as
           great
           a
           blemish
           and
           prejudice

           Then
           came
           he

             Subscription
          
           and
           
             binding
             absolution
             .
             Inquisition
          
           he
           proved
           lawful
           ;
           First
           because
           it
           had
           been
           so
           long
           used
           ,
           and
           in
           the
           greatest
           Monarchies
           allowed
           .
           For
           before
           Inquisition
           came
           in
           ,
           the
           manner
           of
           Tryal
           was
           by
           Accusation
           ,
           and
           then
           the
           party
           accusing
           was
           to
           suffer
           the
           penalty
           that
           the
           Law
           inflicted
           upon
           the
           party
           accused
           ,
           if
           he
           failed
           in
           his
           accusation
           .
           Then
           it
           might
           be
           that
           the
           party
           accused
           ,
           if
           the
           Accuser
           failed
           in
           his
           accusation
           ,
           might
           sollicite
           two
           Witnesses
           to
           Answer
           for
           him
           ,
           which
           was
           sufficient
           to
           acquit
           him
           :
           So
           the
           guilty
           escaped
           and
           the
           guiltless
           accuser
           was
           punished
           .
           This
           seeming
           grievous
           ,
           they
           changed
           their
           Tryals
           into
           Inquisitions
           .
           And
           whosoever
           reads
           Demosthenes
           and
           Tully
           ,
           shall
           see
           how
           unwillingly
           they
           were
           hired
           to
           accuse
           .
           And
           if
           we
           look
           into
           the
           Laws
           of
           this
           Realm

           it
           is

           be
           offered
           and
           inforced
           in
           this
           sort

           being
           of

           For
           her
           Majesty
           had
           straitly
           forbidden
           to
           meddle
           in
           such
           Cases
           ;
           yet
           not

           Excellent
           wisdom
           cared
           and
           pretended
           that
           a
           redress
           should
           be
           had
           of
           things
           that
           are
           amiss
           .
           To
           which
           end
           her
           Majesty

           Now
           her

           Care
           for
           our
           good
           shall
           be
           prevented
           by
           our
           hasty
           speaking
           of
           these
           things
           before
           our

           .
           Sure
           it
           is
           not
           fit
           ,
           and
           her
           Majesty
           cannot
           but
           be

           For
           the
           Bill
           I
           protest

           know
           it
           not
           ;
           but
           it
           seemed
           to
           contain
           things
           needful
           .
           Wherefore
           it
           were
           fittest
           it
           should
           be
           commended
           to
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           and
           so
           recommended
           unto
           us
           .
           And
           if

           do
           this
           Office
           and
           Service
           for

           But
           if
           the
           other
           course
           be
           taken

           I
           fear
           the
           things
           sought
           will
           be
           denied

           This

           I
           could
           not

           leave

           consider
           of

           ,
           I
           protest
           I
           will

           Hereupon
           the

           no
           man
           as
           I
           think
           so
           irreligious
           towards
           God
           ,
           so
           unloyal
           towards
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           so
           careless

           common
           Statutes

           ,
           and
           the

           very
           necessary

           Serjeant
           Harris
           agreed
           on
           the
           Subsidy
           because
           Parliaments
           were
           seldom
           ,
           whereas
           by
           the
           Statute
           of
           4
           
             Edw.
             3.
          
           they
           may
           be
           called
           every
           year
           .
           The
           Subsidies
           to
           be
           granted
           to
           maintain
           Wars
           ;
           but
           whether
           it
           be
           War
           or
           no
           War
           ,
           as
           yet
           we
           know
           not
           :
           And
           the
           things
           which
           we
           take
           from
           the
           Spaniard
           ,
           is
           doubted
           by
           many
           not
           to
           be
           lawful
           prize
           .
           Therefore
           desires
           in
           the
           Subsidies
           to
           have
           it
           set
           down
           ,
           that
           those
           Subsidies
           be
           to
           
           maintain
           a
           War
           impulsive
           and
           defensive
           against
           the
           Spaniard
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Walter
             Raleigh
          
           seconded
           his
           Speech
           ,
           agreeing
           in
           all
           things
           with
           the
           Serjeant
           ,
           and
           said
           ,
           he
           knew
           many
           that
           held
           it
           not
           lawful
           in
           Conscience
           ,
           as
           the
           time
           is
           ,
           to
           take
           from
           the
           Spaniards
           :
           And
           he
           knew
           ,
           that
           if
           it
           might
           be
           lawful
           and
           open
           War
           ,
           there
           would
           be
           more
           voluntary
           hands
           to
           fight
           against
           the
           Spaniard
           ,
           than
           the
           Queen
           should
           stand
           in
           need
           of
           to

           saw
           one
           word

           A
           little
           after

           her
           Royal
           presence
           ,
           I
           was

           these
           words

           matter

           ever
           I
           had
           to
           deal
           in
           .
           Wherefore
           I
           pray
           God
           to
           direct
           
             mentem

           I
           must
           be
           short
           ,
           for
           her
           Majesties
           words
           were
           not
           many
           :
           And
           I
           may
           perhaps
           fail
           in
           the
           delivery
           of
           them
           .
           For
           though
           my
           Auditors
           be
           great
           ,
           yet
           who
           is
           so
           impudent
           whom
           the
           presence
           of
           such
           a
           Majesty
           could
           not
           appal
           ?
           And
           it
           did
           greatly
           fear
           me
           when
           I
           saw
           none
           of
           these
           honourable
           persons
           in
           her
           presence
           ,
           who
           were
           present
           at
           the
           holding
           of
           the
           matter
           in
           this
           House
           .
           Yet
           God
           in
           his
           Providence
           had
           appointed
           it
           ,
           That
           even
           in
           this
           while
           came
           in
           some
           of
           the
           persons
           here
           present
           ,
           who
           if
           I
           fail
           in
           delivering
           what
           is
           given

           can
           report
           it
           unto
           you

           And
           I
           am
           glad
           there
           are
           Witnesses

           Action

           For

           neither
           indeed

           for

           required
           of

           what

           the
           Majesty

           Enemies
           the
           Pope
           and
           the
           King
           of
           Spain
           .
           Her
           Majesties
           Pleasure
           being
           then
           delivered
           unto

           of

           for
           so
           her
           Majesty
           termed
           them
           .
           She
           wondred
           ,
           that
           any
           could
           be

           high
           commandment

           (
           I
           use
           her
           own
           words
           )
           a
           thing
           so
           expresly
           contrary
           to
           that
           which
           she
           had
           forbidden

           Wherefore
           with
           this
           she
           was
           highly
           offended
           .
           And
           because
           the
           words
           then
           spoken

           though

           have
           somewhat
           to
           speak
           .
           It
           appertaineth

           decide
           the
           Question
           ,
           but
           only
           to
           inform
           the
           House

           The
           Questions
           delivered
           by

           First

           If

           It
           hath
           been
           my
           manner
           ever
           since
           my

           especially
           such

           Law
           ,
           as

           therefore
           I

           I
           have

           First
           this
           Writ

           Burgess

           we

           witness
           from
           the
           place

           the
           fact

           those
           a
           great

           whether
           we
           be
           lawful
           Burgesses
           or
           no
           ;
           which
           will
           be
           very
           inconvenient
           .
           But
           matters
           of
           Record
           ,
           such
           as
           appear
           unto
           us
           to
           be
           recorded
           ,
           these
           are
           to

           examined

           So
           that
           for
           priviledge
           I
           would
           grant
           it
           ,
           if
           it
           were
           
             Sedente

           or
           manendo

           to
           every
           Member
           of
           this
           House
           .
           But
           the
           Cause
           with
           Mr.
           Fitzherbert
           being
           ,
           that
           after
           his
           Election
           and
           before
           his
           Return
           he
           is
           Arrested
           and
           in
           Execution
           by
           a
           Capias
           after
           Judgment
           ,
           whether
           this
           Man
           be
           to
           be
           priviledged
           or
           no.
           I
           will
           but
           speak
           what
           I
           think
           ,
           and
           what
           I
           have
           learned
           ,
           and
           I
           have
           good
           precedents
           for
           .
           In
           this
           Cause
           he
           is
           not
           to
           have
           priviledge
           .
           For
           the
           question
           is
           ,
           whether
           the
           Sheriff
           be
           to
           take
           notice
           of
           this
           Nomination
           ,
           or
           not
           before
           he
           is
           returned
           unto
           him
           Elected
           :
           And
           I
           think
           not
           ,
           for
           it
           appeareth
           not
           unto
           the
           Sheriff
           before
           he
           is
           returned
           ,
           whether
           he
           be
           Elected
           or
           not
           .
           So
           this
           Nomination
           is
           not
           a
           thing
           whereof
           he
           is
           tyed
           to
           take
           notice

           You

             Thomas

           was
           chosen
           Speaker
           of
           the
           Parliament
           ,
           and
           after
           his
           Election
           and
           before
           the
           Parliament

           upon
           a

           betwixt
           the

           him
           ,
           Thorp
           was
           taken
           in
           Arrest
           and
           put
           in
           Execution
           .
           Hereupon
           he
           put
           up
           his
           Petition
           to
           the
           House
           of
           Parliament
           to
           have
           the
           priviledge
           .
           Upon
           the
           resolution
           of
           both
           Houses
           it
           was
           yielded
           he
           could
           not
           have
           the
           priviledge
           of
           the
           House
           .
        
         
           This
           was
           also
           in
           H.
           6.
           time
           ,
           and

           fol.
           8.
           
           I
           think
           ;
           the
           opinion
           there
           of
           Danby
           is
           referred
           to
           this
           Cause
           .
           And
           because
           Mr.
           Fitzherbert
           stood
           Outlawed
           upon
           Judgment
           ,
           a
           matter
           that
           is
           recorded
           ,
           it
           were
           meet
           the
           whole
           cause
           were
           brought
           before
           us
           ,
           that
           we
           might
           the
           better
           judge
           upon
           it
           .
           And
           I
           think
           this
           course
           best
           standing
           with
           the

           of

           House
           ,
           before
           that
           we
           made
           out
           any
           Writ
           ,
           to
           grant
           a
           
             Habeas
             Corpus
             cum

           in
           this
           Action
           we

           proceed

           as
           heretofore

           And
           to
           satisfie

           And
           out
           of
           his
           Bosom
           he
           drew
           an
           Answer
           framed
           by
           himself
           to
           this
           effect
           :
           That
           they
           had
           considered
           of
           their
           Lordships
           Motion
           ,
           and
           thought
           upon
           it
           as
           was
           fit
           ,
           and
           in
           all
           willingness
           would
           address
           themselves
           to
           do
           as
           so
           great
           a
           Cause
           deserved
           .
           To
           join
           with
           them
           he
           said
           he
           could
           not
           ,
           but
           with
           prejudice
           to
           the
           priviledge
           of
           the
           said
           House
           .
           Wherefore
           he
           desired
           as
           they
           were
           wont
           ,
           so
           that
           now
           they
           might
           proceed
           here
           in
           by
           themselves
           a
           part
           from
           their
           Lordships
           ,
           and
           that
           they
           might
           do
           it
           without
           discontent
           .
           To
           this
           purpose
           he
           cited
           a
           precedent
           in
           H.
           8.
           time
           ,
           where
           four
           of
           the
           Lords
           came
           down
           into

           House
           of
           Commons
           ,
           and
           informed
           them
           what
           necessity
           there
           was
           of
           a
           Subsidy
           :
           And
           that
           thereupon
           the
           House
           took
           it
           to
           consideration
           a
           part
           by
           themselves
           ,

           he
           was
           infinitely
           bound
           above
           his
           deserts
           ,
           but
           for
           the

           both
           saw

           He
           very
           well
           discovered

           great
           strength
           of
           the

           possessed
           all
           the
           World.
           As
           also
           that
           his
           malice
           and
           ill
           purpose
           was
           evident
           to
           this
           Realm
           ,
           he
           shewed
           how
           on
           every
           side
           he
           had
           beleaguered
           us
           .
        
         
           In
           Denmark
           the
           King
           being
           young
           he
           had

           Council
           and
           Nobility
           so
           as
           he
           was
           very
           like
           to
           speed
           himself
           of
           shipping
           from
           thence
           .
           In
           the
           Marine
           Towns

           ,
           and
           in
           Norway
           he
           laid
           in
           great
           store
           of
           shipping
           .
           In
           France
           he
           had
           the
           Parliament
           Towns
           at
           his
           Command
           .
           In
           Brittany
           he
           had
           all
           the
           best
           Havens
           .
           And
           in
           Scotland
           he
           had
           so
           corrupted
           the
           Nobility
           ,
           that
           he
           had
           promised
           them
           Forces
           to
           re-establish
           Papistry
           .
           That
           they
           were
           ready
           to
           joyn
           with
           any
           Foreign
           Forces
           that
           would
           make
           them
           strong
           ,
           to
           be
           by
           themselves
           and
           to
           resist
           others
           .
           For
           as
           he
           thought
           there
           were
           not
           six
           Gentlemen
           of
           that
           Country
           of
           one
           Religion
           .
           In
           his
           own
           Country
           there
           is
           all
           possible
           repairing
           ,
           and
           he
           is
           coming
           with
           sixty
           Gallies
           besides
           other
           Shipping
           with
           purpose
           to
           annoy
           us
           .
           We
           must
           then
           have
           no
           Ships
           (
           if
           he
           invade
           us
           )
           riding
           at
           Anchor
           ,
           all
           will
           be
           little
           enough
           to
           withstand
           him
           .
           At
           his
           coming
           he
           fully
           determineth
           to
           get
           Plymouth
           ,
           or
           at
           least
           to
           possess
           some
           of
           the
           Havens
           this
           Summer
           within
           our
           Land.
           And
           Plymouth
           is
           a
           place
           of
           most
           danger
           ,
           for
           no
           Ordnance
           can
           be
           carried
           thither
           to
           remove
           him
           ,
           the
           passages
           will
           not
           give
           leave
           .
           Now
           the
           way
           to
           defeat
           him
           is
           this
           ,
           to

           him
           in
           Brittany
           ,
           and
           to
           possess
           our selves
           there
           :
           And
           to
           send
           a
           strong
           Navy
           to
           Sea
           ,
           and
           to
           lye
           with
           it
           upon
           the
           Cape
           and
           such
           places
           as
           his
           Ships
           bring
           his
           Riches
           to
           ,
           that
           they
           may
           set
           upon
           all
           that
           come
           .
           This
           we

           able
           to
           do
           ,
           and
           undoubtedly
           with
           fortunate
           success
           if
           we

           Question
           and
           desired
           if
           any
           were
           led
           by
           him
           ,
           to
           be
           satisfyed
           ,
           for
           that
           he
           would
           have
           been
           of
           another
           opinion
           if
           he
           had
           conceived
           the
           matter
           as
           it
           was
           meant
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Thomas
             Heneage
          
           propounded
           the
           Question
           anew
           ,
           and
           thought
           that
           with
           the
           priviledge
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           and
           by
           precedents
           to
           be
           shewed
           ,
           there
           had
           been
           Conference
           with
           the
           Lords
           used
           upon
           the
           like
           Motion
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             John
             Wolley
          
           thought
           that
           the
           former
           denyal
           grew
           upon
           mistaking
           of
           the
           Question
           ,
           and
           upon
           better
           consideration
           would
           have
           the
           matter
           reversed
           ,
           and
           now
           to
           assent
           to
           that
           which
           was
           denyed
           before
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Henry
             Knivett
          
           moved
           ,
           that
           for
           the
           freedom
           of
           the
           House
           it
           might
           be
           concluded
           amongst
           them
           a
           matter
           answerable
           at
           the

           thing
           of
           any
           Speech
           used
           ,
           or
           matters
           done
           in
           this
           House

           Sir
           
             Henry
             Upton
          
           spake
           in
           defence
           of
           the
           former
           proceedings
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           and
           shewed
           how
           it
           had
           proceeded
           ;
           first
           agreeing
           to
           a
           double
           Subsidy
           and
           four
           Fifteenths
           ,
           this
           being
           offered
           ,
           and
           the
           Lords
           thinking
           it
           seemed
           little
           ,
           and
           considering
           the
           present
           necessity
           ,
           the
           lack
           of
           payment
           of
           Subsidies
           ,
           and
           the
           true
           rating
           of
           Subsidies
           ,
           over
           that
           they
           were
           wont
           to
           be
           ,
           they
           desired
           a
           Conference
           with
           the
           Lower
           House
           ,
           giving
           reasons
           of
           great
           Importance
           for
           a
           greater
           aid
           ;
           and
           they
           gave
           us
           a
           taste
           of
           what
           was
           needful
           ,
           as
           three
           Subsidies
           at
           the
           least
           ;
           and
           upon
           those
           great
           Causes
           desired
           a
           Conference
           the
           next
           day
           .
           This
           being
           delivered
           unto
           the
           House
           by
           one
           of
           the
           Committees
           sent
           to
           the
           Lords
           ,
           the
           House
           upon
           
           Consideration
           thought
           it
           not
           to
           stand
           with
           their
           Priviledge
           to
           confer
           with
           their
           Lordships
           in
           matter
           of
           Subsidies
           ,
           because
           it
           was
           the
           liberty
           of
           the
           House
           to
           make
           Offer
           themselves
           to
           her
           Majestv
           .
           And
           in
           regard
           it
           stood
           not
           with
           the
           Priviledge
           of
           this
           House
           to
           confer
           with
           the
           Lords
           ,
           hereupon
           they
           advise
           upon
           an
           Answer
           to
           be
           made
           unto
           the
           Lords
           ,
           wherein
           they
           should
           give
           them
           thanks
           that
           they
           had
           vouchsafed
           to
           confer
           with
           them
           of
           this
           House
           ;
           but
           shewed
           ,
           that
           with
           the
           Priviledge
           of
           the
           House
           they
           could
           not
           have
           Conference
           with
           them
           in
           matter
           of
           Subsidy
           .
        
         
           Further
           he
           thought
           the
           House
           much
           injured
           ,
           that
           they
           should
           be
           reported
           to
           be
           against
           the
           Subsidy
           ;
           and
           the
           Parties
           injured
           who
           speaking
           the
           last
           day
           against
           the
           Subsidy
           ,
           their
           names
           were
           given
           up
           ,
           and
           were
           noted
           for
           it
           to
           the
           Queen
           .
        
         
           And
           now
           my
           Motion
           is
           that
           we
           must
           confer
           with
           the
           Lords
           upon
           the
           Subsidy
           ,
           but
           not
           in
           any
           fort
           to
           be
           conformed
           therein
           unto
           them
           .
           And
           for
           that
           occasion
           past
           ,
           he
           desired
           that
           M
           r
           Speaker
           might
           be
           sent
           and
           report
           the
           truth
           of
           the
           whole
           matter
           and
           manner
           of
           our
           proceedings
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Robert
             Cecill
          
           spake
           next
           and
           said
           ,
           I
           desire
           now
           I
           may
           be
           somewhat
           long
           ,
           because
           I
           must
           include
           an
           Answer
           to
           three
           Speeches
           .
           Those
           two
           Honourable
           Persons
           that
           sit
           above
           ,
           the
           one
           of
           them
           declared
           the
           true
           state
           of
           the
           Question
           ,
           the
           other
           what
           was
           fit
           we
           should
           do
           .
           But
           my
           Answer
           shall
           tend
           only
           to
           those
           Tales
           that
           followed
           .
           The
           first
           was
           a
           kind
           of
           satisfaction
           for
           a
           former
           mistaking
           ;
           but
           in
           the
           same
           satisfaction
           a
           new
           mistaking
           was
           also
           ;
           which
           was
           by
           way
           of
           information
           ,
           casting
           it
           into
           the
           House
           ,
           that
           the
           Queen
           should
           seem
           to
           demand
           three
           Subsidies
           .
           Now
           the
           Queen
           never
           demanded
           three
           ,
           nor
           one
           .
           So
           there
           is
           a
           new
           mistaking
           added
           to
           the
           former
           satisfaction
           .
        
         
           The
           second
           Mans
           Motion
           thus
           far
           I
           allow
           ,
           That
           the
           Counsel
           of
           this
           House
           be
           secretly
           kept
           ,
           and
           that
           nothing
           be
           reported
           
             in
             malam
             partem
          
           :
           But
           if
           his
           meaning
           be
           ,
           that
           we
           may
           not
           impart
           any
           thing
           that
           is
           done
           here
           unto
           the
           Queen
           ,
           but
           that
           all
           things
           must
           be
           secret
           from
           her
           ,
           I
           am
           altogether
           against
           it
           .
           This
           only
           I
           should
           desire
           ,
           what
           ought
           to
           be
           observed
           ,
           That
           nothing
           ought
           to
           be
           reported
           unto
           her
           
             in
             malam
             partem
          
           .
        
         
           The
           third
           Mans
           Motion
           consisted
           of
           three
           points
           .
           The
           first
           was
           News
           ,
           the
           second
           was
           History
           ,
           and
           the
           third
           and
           last
           a
           Motion
           .
           His
           News
           was
           ,
           that
           Mens
           names
           were
           given
           up
           to
           the
           Queen
           .
           This
           was
           News
           .
           For
           I
           heard
           it
           not
           before
           .
           The
           History
           was
           a
           large
           Report
           of
           the
           Progress
           of
           this
           matter
           .
           His
           Motion
           was
           ,
           that
           we
           should
           confer
           with
           the
           Lords
           about
           a
           Subsidy
           with
           them
           ,
           but
           not
           conclude
           a
           Subsidy
           with
           them
           .
           His
           matter
           seems
           contrary
           to
           his
           meaning
           ,
           or
           else
           is
           more
           than
           ever
           was
           meant
           ;
           for
           it
           was
           never
           desired
           of
           us
           by
           the
           Lords
           ,
           that
           we
           should
           confer
           with
           them
           about
           a
           Subsidy
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Walter
             Raleigh
          
           spake
           next
           and
           moved
           ,
           that
           seeing
           the
           division
           of
           the
           House
           the
           last
           day
           grew
           as
           he
           conceived
           upon
           the
           mistaking
           of
           the
           question
           ,
           and
           that
           since
           some
           had
           reported
           unto
           him
           ,
           that
           had
           the
           question
           been
           propounded
           whether
           they
           should
           only
           yield
           to
           a
           Conference
           in
           general
           with
           the
           Lords
           ,
           they
           would
           not
           have
           been
           against
           it
           ;
           and
           therefore
           he
           desired
           M
           r
           Speaker
           to
           put
           it
           to
           the
           Question
           ,
           whether
           they
           should
           confer
           with
           the
           Lords
           generally
           or
           not
           ,
           without
           naming
           a
           Subsidy
           .
           This
           Motion
           being
           well
           liked
           ,
           Sir
           
             Walter
             Raleigh
          
           was
           desired
           by
           the
           House
           to
           repeat
           it
           again
           ,
           that
           so
           it
           might
           be
           the
           better
           heard
           of
           them
           all
           .
           And
           thereupon
           he
           said
           ,
           that
           touching
           the
           aforesaid
           question
           which
           had
           received
           a
           No
           upon
           Saturday
           last
           foregoing
           ,
           he
           would
           not
           make
           it
           a
           Question
           again
           ,
           for
           by
           the
           Order
           of
           the
           House
           he
           could
           not
           ;
           but
           propounded
           this
           for
           a
           new
           Question
           in
           these
           or
           the
           like
           words
           ,
           Whether
           the
           House
           would
           be
           pleased
           to

           with
           the
           Lords
           touching
           the
           great
           imminent
           dangers
           of
           the
           Realm
           and
           State
           ,
           and
           the
           present
           necessary
           supply
           of

           to

           speedily
           for

           according
           to
           the
           proportion
           of

           .
           Which
           said
           Question
           being
           propounded
           unto
           the

           ,
           it
           was
           assented
           unto
           accordingly
           by
           them
           all

           And
           thereupon

           the

           he
           thought
           that
           M
           r

           did
           mistake
           the
           thing
           we
           agreed
           upon
           ,
           that
           we
           went
           not

           we
           had
           to
           deliver
           ,
           but
           to
           understand
           of
           things
           from

           the

           that
           he
           mistook
           M
           r
           Vice-Chamberlain
           ,
           and
           the
           thing
           agreed
           by
           the
           House
           ;
           for
           we
           agreed
           all
           to
           a
           general
           Conference
           ,
           but
           not
           in
           particular
           for
           the
           Subsidy
           ,
           for
           this
           we
           refused
           .
           If
           we
           confer
           generally
           ,
           it
           must
           be
           of

           dangers

           and
           of
           the
           remedies

           which
           must

           So
           our

           that

           There
           are
           two
           scruples
           in
           the
           House
           ,
           which
           I
           would
           gladly
           satisfy
           ;
           the
           one
           the
           priviledge
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           the
           other
           the
           poverty
           of
           the
           people
           .
           For
           Precedents
           they
           are
           but
           Examples
           of
           things
           past
           .
           Now
           every
           Example
           ought
           to
           be
           stronger
           than
           the
           thing
           we
           fear
           :
           for
           if
           the
           thing
           be
           otherwise
           and
           our
           necessity
           greater
           ,
           the
           former
           doings
           are
           no
           Rules
           to
           us
           .
           And
           so
           Precedents
           as
           they
           are
           not
           to
           be
           rejected
           ,
           so
           they
           ought
           not
           to
           be
           Eternal
           .
           For
           the
           poverty
           of
           our
           Country
           ,
           we
           have
           no
           reason
           to
           think
           it
           poor
           ,
           our
           sumptuousess
           in
           Apparel
           ,
           in
           Plate
           and
           in
           all
           things
           ,
           argueth
           our
           riches
           .
           And
           our
           dearth
           of
           every
           thing
           amongst
           us
           ,
           sheweth
           plenty
           of
           Money
           .
           But
           it
           is
           said
           ,
           our
           Countries
           are
           poor
           ,
           and
           we
           must
           respect
           them
           that
           sent
           us
           hither
           .
           Why
           ,
           so
           we
           must
           also
           remember
           who
           sent
           for
           us
           hither
           .
           This
           Cause
           is
           hard
           ;
           for
           there
           is
           necessity
           against
           necessity
           ,
           danger
           against
           danger
           ,
           and
           inward
           discontent
           against
           outward
           Forces
           .
           The
           poor
           are
           grieved
           by
           being
           overcharged
           ;
           this
           must
           be
           helped
           by
           increasing
           our
           own
           Burthen
           ;
           for
           otherwise
           the
           weak
           feet
           will
           complain
           of
           too
           heavy
           a
           body
           ;
           that
           is
           to
           be
           feared
           .
           If
           the
           feet
           knew
           their
           strength
           as
           we
           know
           their
           oppression
           ,
           they
           would
           not
           bear
           as
           they
           do
           .
           But
           to
           answer
           them
           ,
           it
           sufficeth
           that
           the
           time
           requireth

           And
           in
           a
           Prince
           power
           will
           command

           To
           satisfy
           them
           ,
           they
           cannot
           think
           we
           overcharge
           them
           ,
           when
           we
           charge
           our selves
           with
           them
           and
           above
           them

           But
           if
           nothing
           will
           satisfy
           them
           ,
           our
           doings
           are
           sufficient
           to
           bind
           them
           .
           If
           the

           The

           now
           one
           word
           for

           still
           for
           fear

           because
           Burdeaux

           taken

           our

           And
           this

           And
           in
           the
           end
           the
           greater
           Aid
           will
           be
           required

           .
           For
           this
           is
           most
           true
           ,
           one
           hundred
           thousand
           pound
           would
           have
           done
           the
           last
           year
           that
           which
           three
           will
           not
           now
           do
           ;
           and
           three
           will

           year

           So
           in
           conclusion
           he
           agreed

           Sir
           
             Henry
             Umpton
          
           agreed
           that
           there
           should
           be
           three
           Subsidies

           were
           best
           able
           .
           And
           his
           conclusion
           was
           ,
           that
           it
           might

           would
           be
           more
           acceptable

             Edward

           the
           richer
           Parishes

           help
           the
           poorer

           After

           and
           he
           agreed
           to
           three

           Serjeant

           to
           see
           the
           willingness
           of
           the
           House
           and
           readiness
           to
           yield
           Aid
           ;
           and
           having
           a
           feeling
           of
           the
           necessity
           requiring
           it
           ,
           my
           desire
           is
           ,
           that
           the
           Sentence
           which
           had
           had
           so
           many
           Parentheses
           ,
           might
           now
           be
           brought
           to
           a
           Period
           ,
           and
           the
           Bears
           Whelp
           that
           hath
           so
           many
           times
           been
           licked
           over
           ,
           might
           now
           be
           made
           somewhat
           .
           For
           that
           is
           always
           the
           most
           Honourable
           Conclusion
           ,
           which
           having
           received
           many
           Contradictions
           ,
           is
           in
           the
           end
           concluded
           .
           So
           he
           desired
           this
           matter
           of
           Subsidying
           might
           be
           committed
           to
           some
           special
           Committees
           in
           the
           Afternoon
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             John
             Fortescue
          
           thought
           it
           liberal
           to
           grant
           three
           Subsidies
           ,
           but
           did
           assure
           of
           his
           proper
           knowledge
           ,
           that
           three
           Subsidies
           would
           not
           defray
           her
           Majesties
           Charges
           ,
           though
           all
           other
           Customs
           and
           Revenues
           were
           added
           unto
           them
           ;
           And
           motioned
           what
           should
           be
           delivered
           by
           the
           House
           ,
           and
           what
           should
           be
           delivered
           to
           the
           Lords
           by
           the
           Committees
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Thomas
             Heneage
          
           her
           Majesties
           Vice-Chamberlain
           affirmed
           ,
           he
           never
           saw
           the
           House
           so
           willing
           to
           yield
           to
           needful
           Aids
           .
           And
           that
           he
           was
           one
           who
           had
           now
           served
           her
           Majesty
           a
           long
           time
           ,
           and
           knew
           something
           her
           disposition
           .
           Wherefore
           he
           advised
           that
           the
           wonted
           course
           should
           be
           followed
           .
           For
           he
           heard
           her
           Majesty
           speak
           of
           it
           ,
           that
           she
           loved
           not
           such
           fineness
           of
           device
           and
           novel
           inventions
           ,
           but
           liked
           rather
           to
           have
           the
           antient
           usages
           offered
           .
           It
           is
           best
           so
           to
           have
           it
           paid
           as
           it
           hath
           been
           heretofore
           .
           Only
           a
           greater
           discretion
           to
           be
           used
           in
           the
           charging
           of
           it
           .
           To
           charge
           the
           poor
           men
           more
           deeply
           he
           thought
           it
           not
           fit
           ;
           yet
           they
           to
           be
           grateful
           to
           her
           Majesty
           he
           thought
           it
           would
           be
           accepted
           .
           And
           that
           the
           best
           able
           men
           should
           offer
           somewhat
           to
           her
           Majesty
           of
           their
           ability
           .
           And
           for
           the
           Order
           of
           our
           Proceedings
           ,
           he
           thought
           it
           fit
           that
           we
           first
           agree
           to
           three
           Subsidies
           ,
           and
           six
           Fifteenths
           :
           this
           to
           be
           considered
           upon
           by
           Committees
           this
           Afternoon
           ,
           and
           to
           Morrow
           to
           be
           propounded
           to
           the
           House
           .
           And
           then
           if
           it
           were
           allowed
           ,
           we
           might
           at
           our
           going
           to
           the
           Lords
           tell
           them
           what
           we
           have
           agreed
           upon
           .
        
         
           Hereupon
           a
           murmur
           was
           in
           the
           House
           whether
           we
           should
           have
           a
           Committee
           for
           three
           Subsidies
           ,
           or
           a
           general
           Committee
           to
           confer
           of
           all
           matters
           of
           remedies
           .
        
         
           The
           question
           being
           propounded
           it
           was
           Answered
           ,
           that
           it
           should
           be
           by
           a
           general
           Committee
           .
        
         
         
           In
           the
           Afternoon
           at
           the
           General
           Committee
           the
           Committees
           met
           ,
           and
           it
           was
           debated
           how
           the
           Subsidy
           could
           be
           levied
           in
           shorter
           time
           than
           heretofore
           .
           The
           poverty
           of
           the
           people
           and
           hard
           Collections
           of
           other
           Subsidies
           ,
           and
           the
           double
           charge
           which
           this
           would
           be
           unto
           them
           ,
           with
           many
           other
           reasons
           were
           alledged
           against
           the
           Parliaments
           so
           speedy
           Collection
           .
           On
           the
           other
           side
           it
           was
           vehemently
           pressed
           ,
           that
           the
           necessity
           of
           the
           time
           was
           such
           ,
           as
           it
           could
           not
           carry
           the
           accustomed
           time
           for
           payment
           ,
           her
           Majesties
           Purse
           and
           Coffers
           being
           empty
           ,
           the
           danger
           would
           be
           over
           before
           the
           usual
           payment
           would
           come
           in
           .
           Wherefore
           if
           the
           help
           were
           not
           timely
           ,
           it
           would
           be
           no
           service
           .
           There
           was
           much
           division
           about
           this
           .
           Some
           of
           the
           Committees
           would
           have
           this
           propounded
           ,
           whether
           the
           three
           Subsidies
           should
           be
           paid
           in
           four
           years
           or
           three
           ;
           others
           dissented
           from
           it
           .
        
         
           M
           r
           Heale
           amongst
           the
           Committees
           argued
           the
           wealth
           of
           the
           Country
           to
           be
           greater

           The
           necessity

           ever
           heard
           of
           ;
           Yea
           such
           dangers
           ,
           as
           are
           not
           to
           be
           read
           that
           ever
           the
           like
           was
           intended
           to
           any
           State.
           Therefore
           for
           this
           extraordinary
           time
           some
           accustomed
           help
           must
           be
           had
           ;
           and
           from
           these
           Subsidies
           do
           but
           take
           away
           the
           benefit
           of
           time
           ,
           and
           then
           the
           payments
           will
           yield
           no
           help
           to
           our
           necessity
           ;
           for
           in
           two
           years
           the
           dangers
           will
           be
           over
           .
           So
           he
           desired
           that
           in
           this
           Case
           Examples
           might
           not
           lead
           us
           ,
           but
           that
           the
           present
           dangers
           should
           move
           us
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Thomas
             Cecill
          
           moved
           also
           ,
           that
           the
           Cinque-Ports
           might
           be
           also
           brought
           into
           the
           Taxes
           of
           the
           Subsidies
           at
           this
           time
           ;
           for
           that
           it
           hath
           been
           the
           use
           of
           men
           having
           any
           Lands
           in
           the
           Cinque-Ports
           ,
           to
           take
           sanctuary
           there
           before
           the
           Sessing
           of
           the
           Subsidy
           ,
           by
           removing
           themselves
           ,
           and
           keeping
           their
           Houses
           there
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Walter
             Raleigh
          
           said
           ,
           I
           can
           see
           no
           reason
           that
           the
           suspicion
           of
           discontentment
           should
           cross
           the
           provision
           for
           the
           present
           danger
           .
           The
           time
           is
           now
           more
           dangerous
           than
           it
           was
           in
           Eighty
           eight
           ;
           for
           then
           the
           Spaniard
           which
           came
           from
           Spain
           was
           to
           pass
           dangerous
           Seas
           ,
           and
           had
           no
           place
           of
           retreat
           or
           relief
           if
           he
           failed
           :
           But
           now
           he
           hath
           in
           Brittany
           great
           store
           of
           Shipping
           ,
           a
           Landing
           place
           in
           Scotland
           ,
           and
           Men
           and
           Horses
           there
           as
           good
           as
           we
           have
           any
           .
           But
           for
           the
           difficulty
           in
           getting
           this
           Subsidy
           ,
           I
           think
           it
           seems
           more
           difficult
           by
           speaking
           than
           it
           would
           be
           in
           gathering
           .
        
         
           Now
           stood
           up
           two
           or
           three
           to
           have
           spoken
           ,
           striving
           who
           might
           speak
           first
           .
           Then
           the
           Speaker
           propounds
           it
           as
           an
           Order
           in
           the
           House
           in
           such
           a
           Case
           ,
           for
           him
           to
           ask
           the
           parties
           that
           would
           speak
           ,
           On
           which
           side
           they
           would
           speak
           ,
           whether
           with
           him
           that
           spake
           next
           before
           ,
           or
           against
           him
           ;
           and
           the
           party
           that
           speaketh
           against
           the
           last
           speaker
           is
           to
           be
           heard
           first
           .
           And
           so
           it
           was
           ruled
           .
           Where
           it
           may
           seem
           ,
           that
           the
           Speaker
           
           
           
           
           
           did
           give
           admonishment
           sitting
           in
           the
           House
           as
           a
           Member
           thereof
           ,
           and
           not
           sitting
           in
           his
           Chair
           as
           Speaker
           ,
           which
           he
           never
           doth
           at
           any
           Committee
           although
           it
           be
           of
           the
           whole
           House
           .
        
         
           After
           which
           some
           able
           Member
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           whose
           name
           is
           not
           set
           down
           ,
           spake
           next
           and
           said
           ,
           I
           could
           very
           well
           agree
           to
           the
           Subsidies
           ,
           if
           they
           were
           not
           prejudicial
           to
           the
           Subject
           in
           other
           services
           .
           For
           Subsidies
           be
           in
           the
           valuation
           of

           mans
           Lands
           and
           Goods
           by

           called
           the
           Queens
           Books
           ,
           and
           according
           to
           mens
           valuation
           of
           Subsidies
           ,
           are
           they
           at
           all
           other
           charges
           ,
           as
           to
           the
           Wars
           and
           in
           time
           of
           Muster
           with
           Horse
           and
           Armour
           ;
           and
           this
           charge
           maketh
           men
           so
           unwilling
           to
           be
           raised
           in
           the
           Subsidy
           ;
           but
           if
           these
           Subsidies
           brought
           in
           no
           other
           charge
           with
           them
           ,
           they
           would
           be
           yielded
           willingly
           .
           But
           the
           tail
           and
           appendage
           of
           it
           being
           so
           great
           ,
           and
           higher
           than
           the
           Subsidy
           it self
           ,
           is
           the
           reason
           that
           men
           are
           so
           unwilling
           to

           .
           Wherefore
           if
           a
           greater
           Tax
           or
           Assessment
           than
           heretofore
           be
           desired
           ,
           I
           would
           wish
           a
           Proviso
           to

           added
           in
           the
           Statute
           .
           That
           by
           this
           Subsidy
           no
           man
           should
           be
           raised
           as

           above
           the

           I

           how
           perilous
           our

           not
           sick
           of
           one
           Disease
           but
           we
           labour
           with
           a
           plurality
           of

           To

           with
           our
           threefold
           Diseases
           we
           ought
           like
           good
           Physicians
           to
           apply
           a
           threefold
           remedy
           ,
           a
           treble
           Subsidy

           so

           Heyle
           said
           ,
           If
           we
           take
           care
           for
           our
           Posterity
           ,
           we
           had
           best
           to
           settle
           our
           Posterity
           ,
           which
           will
           not
           be

           except
           we
           prevent
           dangers
           now
           imminent
           .
           For
           precedents
           of
           Subsidies
           they
           are

           because
           before-time
           greater

           first
           ,
           if

           yet
           at

           benevolence
           offered
           her

           because
           she

           need
           of

           we

           worse
           King

           .
           After

             Neither
             Profit

             Yet
             because

             am
             a

             a
             Judge

             I
             should

             also
             as
             a

             yet
             I
             beseech
             you

             if

             a
             party

             though

             there
             as
             Judge
             ,
             yet
             may
             he
             defend
             and
             speak
             at
             the
             Bar
             as
             a

             own
             Case
             .
             So
             I
             beseech
             you
             ,
             because
             I
             may
             hap
             to
             yield
             reason
             to
             the
             satisfying
             of
             any
             that
             yet
             may
             stand
             for
             the
             Bill
             ,
             let
             me
             be
             heard
             to
             speak
             at
             the
             Bar.
             And
             then
             he
             offered
             to
             go
             to
             the
             Bar
             ,
             but
             the
             House
             in
             favour
             would
             needs
             have
             him
             speak
             in
             the
             place
             where
             he
             sat
             .
             First
             there
             is
             cunning
             shewed
             in
             the
             Bill
             ,
             and
             for
             that
             my
             Lord
             Keeper
             might
             be
             affected
             ,
             it
             seems
             to
             give
             him
             the
             bestowing
             of
             the
             Clerks
             places
             .
             Secondly
             ,
             to
             insinuate
             with
             practising
             Lawyers
             ,
             it
             gives
             them
             a
             Fee
             ;
             For
             no
             Interrogatories
             should
             be
             administred
             whereto
             their
             hand
             was
             not
             under
             .
             Thirdly
             ,
             it
             offered
             also
             some
             kindness
             to
             me
             ,
             for
             it
             gave
             a
             present
             Forfeiture
             of
             the
             Office
             upon
             sundry
             defaults
             .
             Fifthly
             ,
             to
             the
             subject
             in
             general
             it
             pretended
             a
             very
             great
             relief
             .
             So
             that
             it
             carried
             a
             plausible
             show
             ,
             but
             indeed
             the
             Bill
             was
             in
             it self
             prejudicial

             There
             was
             much
             division
             thereupon
             .
             Wherefore
             the
             Speaker
             propounded
             the
             question
             ,
             that
             as
             many

             No.
             The
             voice
             was
             so
             indifferent
             that
             it
             could
             not
             be
             discerned

             were
             greater
             .
             Then
             the
             question
             grew
             whether
             part
             should
             go
             out

             No
             against

             That
             ingrossing

             and
             said
             :
             We
             ought
             not
             to
             be
             uncharitable
             ,
             but
             this
             must
             be
             the
             Rule
             ,
             None
             must
             so
             relieve
             Strangers
             ,
             as
             by
             it
             to
             begger
             themselves
             .
             But
             for
             their
             riches
             ,
             it
             groweth
             chiefly
             by
             Parsimony

             and
             where
             they
             dwell
             I
             see
             not
             that
             the

             much

             here
             in
             London

             for
             they

             to
             all
             Scots
             and
             Lots

             Though
             they
             be
             a
             Church
             by
             themselves
             ,
             their
             Example
             is
             profitable
             amongst
             us

             for
             their
             Children

             go

             but
             they
             are
             taught
             to
             serve
             God
             ,
             and
             to
             flee
             idleness
             ;
             for
             the
             least
             of
             them
             earneth
             his

             by
             his

             Our
             Nation
             is
             sure
             more
             blessed

             Wherefore
             as
             the
             Scripture
             
             saith
             
               Let
               us
               not
               grieve
               the
               Soul
               of
               the

             no
             reason
             we
             should

             respect
             to
             Strangers

             yet
             our
             Charity
             must
             be
             done
             with
             a
             feeling

             And
             although
             I
             think
             it
             not
             fit
             ,
             that
             the
             Law
             should
             look

             long

             Apprentices

             yet
             that
             all

             that
             were
             not

             Wherefore
             I
             could
             wish
             there
             might

             that

             speaks
             of

             wherein

             very
             throughly

             For

             of
             priviledge

             the
             Cause
             to
             me
             is
             very
             doubtful
             ,
             because
             priviledges
             in
             these
             Causes
             are
             very
             rare
             ,
             and
             so
             the

             in
             doubt

             This
             Court
             for
             its
             Dignity
             and
             highness
             hath
             priviledge
             ,
             as
             all
             other
             Courts

             other
             Courts

             so
             it
             hath
             priviledge

             and
             as
             it
             hath
             priviledge
             and
             Jurisdiction
             too
             ,
             so
             hath
             it
             also
             Coercion
             and
             Compulsion

             otherwise
             the
             Jurisdiction
             is
             nothing
             in
             a
             Court

             Therefore
             it
             seemeth

             me

             This

             so
             for

             But
             now
             for
             the
             Authority
             we

             I
             say

             yet
             I
             speak
             not

             this
             is

           and
           though
           I
           am
           least
           able

           in
           this
           place
           ,
           yet
           better
           I
           deem
           it
           to
           discover
           my
           own
           Imperfections
           ,
           than
           that
           her
           most
           sacred
           Majesties
           Commandment
           to
           me
           delivered
           should
           not
           be
           fulfilled
           ,
           or
           your
           Expectation
           of
           this
           first
           days

           First
           therefore
           I
           think
           it
           very
           expedient
           to
           remember
           the
           Excellent
           and
           Learned
           Speech
           of
           that
           good

           or
           the
           most

           were
           present
           )
           who
           very
           wisely
           shewed
           the
           Cause
           of
           calling
           this
           Honourable
           Assembly
           ,
           shewing
           unto
           us
           that
           it
           is
           partly
           for
           the
           reforming
           those
           Laws
           which
           be
           amiss
           ,
           partly
           quite
           to
           repeal
           others
           ,
           partly
           to
           augment
           those
           that
           be
           good
           ,
           and
           partly
           to
           Enact
           new
           Laws
           ,
           both
           for
           the
           Honour
           and
           profit
           of
           her
           Majesty
           and
           for
           the
           benefit
           of
           the
           Common-wealth
           .
           And
           in
           conclusion
           wished
           us
           to
           depart
           from
           whence
           we
           came
           and
           there
           to
           chuse
           our
           Speaker
           ,
           who
           ought
           to
           be
           the
           Mouth
           of

           and
           to
           whom
           we
           might
           commit
           such
           weighty
           affairs
           as
           in
           this
           place
           should
           be
           debated
           amongst
           us
           .
           For
           unfit
           it
           is
           if
           we
           have
           occasion
           to
           go
           unto
           the

           my self

             Francis
             Bacon
          
           spake
           first
           ,
           after
           that
           one
           Bill
           mentioned
           in
           the
           Original
           Journal-Book
           of
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           had
           been
           read
           the
           first
           time
           ,
           viz.
           the
           Bill
           against
           Forestallers
           ,
           Regrators
           and
           Ingrossers
           ,
           and
           made
           a
           Motion
           against
           Inclosures
           and
           Depopulation
           of
           Towns
           and
           Houses
           of
           Husbandry
           and
           Tillage
           .
           And
           to
           this
           purpose
           he
           brought
           in
           ,
           as
           he
           termed
           it
           ,
           two
           Bills
           not
           drawn
           with
           a
           polished
           pen
           ,
           but
           with
           a
           polished
           heart
           ,
           free
           from
           affection
           and
           affectation
           .
           And
           because
           former
           Laws
           are
           Medicines
           of
           our
           understanding
           ,
           he
           said
           ,
           that
           he
           had
           perused
           the
           Preambles
           of
           former
           Statutes
           ,
           and
           by
           them
           did
           see
           the
           inconveniencies
           of
           this
           matter
           ,
           being
           then
           scarce
           out
           of
           the
           shell
           ,
           to
           be
           now
           full
           ripened
           .
           And
           he
           said
           ,
           that
           the
           over-flowing
           of
           the
           people
           here
           ,
           makes
           a
           shrinking
           and
           abate
           elsewhere
           ;
           And
           that
           these
           two
           mischiefs
           ,
           though
           they
           be
           exceeding
           great
           ,
           yet
           they
           seem
           the
           less
           ,
           because
           
             Qui
             mala
             cum
             multis

             ,
             leviora
             videntur
             .
          
           And
           though
           it
           may
           be
           thought
           ill
           and
           very
           prejudicial
           to
           Lords
           that
           have
           inclosed
           great
           grounds
           ,
           and
           pulled
           down
           even
           whole
           Towns
           ,
           and
           converted
           them
           to
           Sheep-Pastures
           ;
           yet
           considering
           the
           increase
           of
           people
           and
           the
           benefit
           of
           the
           Common-Wealth
           ,
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           every
           man
           will
           deem
           the
           revival
           of
           former
           Moth-eaten
           Laws
           in
           this
           point
           a
           praise-worthy
           thing
           .
           For
           in
           matters
           of
           Policy
           ill
           is
           not
           to
           be
           thought
           ill
           ;
           which
           bringeth
           forth
           good
           .
           For
           Inclosure
           of
           grounds
           brings
           depopulation
           ,
           which
           brings
           first
           Idleness
           ,
           secondly
           decay
           of
           Tillage
           ,
           thirdly
           subversion
           of
           Houses
           ,
           and
           decay
           of
           Charity
           ,
           and
           charges
           to
           the
           Poor
           ,
           fourthly
           impoverishing
           the
           state
           of
           the
           Realm
           .
           A
           Law
           for
           the
           taking
           away
           of
           such
           inconveniences
           is
           not
           to
           be
           thought
           ill

           hurtful
           unto
           the
           general
           State.
           And
           I
           would
           be
           sorry
           to
           see
           within
           this
           Kingdom
           ,
           that

           ,
           so
           in
           England
           ,
           instead
           of

           full

           nought
           but
           green

           but
           a
           Shepherd
           and
           a
           Dog.
           The
           Eye
           of
           Experience
           is
           the
           sure
           Eye
           ,
           but
           the
           Eye
           of
           Wisdom
           is
           the
           quick-sighted
           Eye
           ;
           and
           by
           Experience
           we
           daily
           see

           therefore
           there
           is
           almost
           no
           Conscience
           made

           destroying
           the
           savour
           of
           the
           life

           Bread

           And
           therefore
           
           a
           strict

           and
           life
           given

           in
           our
           several

           no
           doubt
           but
           they
           will
           prove
           Laws
           tending

           therefore
           I
           think
           them
           worthy

           the

           That

           Those
           he
           could
           not
           spare
           ,
           because
           of
           his
           enterprize
           of
           Ostend
           .
           And
           how
           dangerous
           the
           loss
           of
           that
           Town
           would
           be
           to
           this
           Land
           ,
           I
           think
           there
           is
           no
           man
           of
           experience
           but
           can
           witness
           with
           me
           ;
           For
           he
           would
           easily
           be
           Master
           of
           all
           that
           Coast
           ,
           so
           that
           the
           Trade
           betwen
           England
           and
           the
           Low-Countries
           would
           be
           quite
           dissolved
           ;
           Yea
           he
           would
           be
           so
           dangerous
           a
           Neighbour
           to
           us
           ,
           that
           we

           now
           Tenants

           discretion
           are
           likely
           shortly
           to

           When
           he
           is
           our
           Neighbour
           of
           the

           Neighbour

           Spain

           We

           to
           them
           there
           left

           obedient
           Subject

           Excommunicate
           at

           And
           I
           pray
           God

           replied
           ,
           that
           notwithstanding
           this
           ,
           the
           House
           might
           well
           receive
           him
           .
           And
           he
           vouched
           a
           Precedent
           in
           the
           31
           th
           of
           this
           Queen
           ,
           when
           a
           Writ
           was
           directed
           to
           the

           and
           they
           returned
           themselves
           and
           were
           received

           But
           if

           do
           not
           receive
           him

           another
           question
           will
           grow
           ,
           Whether
           a
           new
           Warrant
           must
           go

           To
           which
           it
           was
           agreed

           Wiseman
           of
           Lincolns-Inn
           stood
           up
           
           and
           shewed
           the
           necessity
           of
           having
           all
           our
           Members
           ,
           because
           otherwise
           the
           Body
           is
           but
           maimed
           ;
           as
           also
           how
           dangerous
           a
           Precedent
           this
           would
           be

           And
           lastly

           in
           the
           Writ
           ,
           because
           it
           must
           be
           necessarily
           intended
           ,
           that
           they
           being

           Countries
           so
           requisite

           should
           not
           be
           returned
           .
           Besides
           ,

           be
           very
           unwilling

           doubtless
           it

           breed
           much
           grief
           ,
           and
           the
           feeling
           will
           be
           great
           to

           any

           but
           it
           will
           be
           nothing
           to
           them

           know

           Sir
           
             Edward
             Hobbie
          
           said
           ,
           We
           cannot
           hear
           you
           speak
           out
           ,
           you
           should
           speak
           standing
           that
           so
           the
           House
           might
           the
           better
           hear
           you
           .
           So
           Sir
           
             Walter
             Raleigh
          
           said
           that
           being
           a
           Committee
           ,
           he
           might
           speak
           either
           sitting
           or
           standing
           ,
           and
           so
           repeated
           over
           again
           the
           former
           Speech

           Secretary
           Cecill
           said
           ,
           Because
           it
           is
           an
           Argument
           of
           more
           Reverence
           ,
           I
           chose
           to
           speak
           standing
           .
           As
           long
           as
           the
           Queen
           by
           the
           advice
           of
           her
           Council
           did
           find
           means
           to
           spare
           you
           ,
           so
           long
           she
           ever
           desired
           that
           her
           Subjects
           might
           not
           be
           charged
           :
           But
           if
           her
           Majesty
           assoon
           as
           the
           last
           Subsidy
           had
           been
           spent
           ,
           should
           have
           again
           resorted
           unto
           you
           ,
           I
           do
           assure
           you
           this
           Parliament
           had
           been
           called
           in
           October
           last
           .
           Now
           if
           upon
           providence
           and
           foresight
           ,
           you
           did
           contribute
           unto
           her
           Majesty
           ;
           much
           more
           should
           we
           now
           do
           the
           same
           ,
           seeing
           a
           resolute
           Company
           of
           Souldiers
           have
           intrenched
           themselves
           in

           Majesties
           Kingdom
           of

           Supplies
           thither
           are
           daily
           expected

           It
           is
           time
           to
           open
           our
           Coffers
           ,
           that
           we
           may
           obviate
           in
           the
           beginning
           these
           few
           Forces
           of
           the

           lest
           growing
           to
           greater
           Forces
           we
           cannot
           expel
           them
           with
           less

           five
           hundred
           thousand
           pound
           ,
           which
           we
           may
           now
           do

           I
           should

           Surely
           if
           we
           had
           been
           of

           eight

           had

           destinated
           to
           perdition
           .
           For
           how
           many
           changeable
           enterprises
           of
           puissant
           and
           great
           consequence

           The

           And

           when
           he
           Conquered

           found
           therein

           From

           I
           do

           way

           the
           Assembly
           in
           which
           there
           is
           not
           some
           variety
           of
           opinions
           .
           I
           need
           not
           recite

           form
           ,
           the
           Committee
           by
           reason
           of
           so
           good
           attendance
           being
           little
           inferiour
           to

           Yet

           it
           will
           be
           somewhat
           necessary
           for
           me
           to
           deliver
           the

           of
           our
           proceedings
           and
           the
           circumstances
           ,
           rather
           than
           hazard
           the
           interpretation
           of
           such
           a
           resolution
           .
        
         
           The
           day
           was
           Saturday
           last
           ,
           the
           place
           this
           House
           ,
           the
           time
           about
           four
           hours
           ;
           and
           I
           am
           of
           opinion
           ,
           if
           we
           had
           all
           agreed
           upon
           the
           manner
           ,
           as
           we
           did
           speedily
           upon
           the
           matter
           ,
           all
           had
           been
           dispatcht
           in
           an
           hour
           .
           It
           seemed
           by
           the
           ready
           consent
           of
           the
           Committees
           that
           they
           came
           not
           to
           look
           on
           one
           another
           ,
           or
           like
           Sheep
           one
           to
           accompany
           another
           ;
           but
           the
           matter
           was
           well
           declared
           by
           some
           ,
           and
           at
           length
           consented
           unto
           by
           all
           .
           Our
           contention
           bred
           difference
           ,
           and
           difference
           cause
           of
           Argument
           ,
           both
           how
           to
           ease
           the
           State
           ,
           and
           make
           this
           Subsidy
           less
           burthensom
           which
           shall
           be
           received
           .
           Some
           were
           of
           opinion
           that
           the
           three
           pound
           men
           should
           be
           spared
           ,
           because
           it
           was
           to
           be
           considered
           they
           had
           but
           small
           Portions
           .
           Others
           were
           of
           opinion
           that
           the
           four
           pound
           men
           should
           give
           double
           ,
           and
           the
           rest
           upwards
           should
           be
           higher
           Sessed
           .
           Others
           were
           of
           other
           Opinions
           .
           Again
           it
           was
           moved
           ,
           whether
           this
           Subsidy
           should
           go
           in
           the
           name
           of
           a
           Benevolence
           or
           Contribution
           ,
           or
           whether
           in
           the
           name
           of
           a
           fourth
           Subsidy
           ;
           but
           at
           length
           most
           Voices
           resolved
           it
           should
           have
           the
           old
           name
           of
           a
           Subsidy
           ,
           because
           Subsidium
           and
           Auxilium
           are
           all
           one
           .
           The
           most
           Voices
           concluded
           that
           there
           should
           be
           no
           exception
           of
           the
           three
           pound
           men
           ,
           because
           according
           to
           their
           rate
           some
           were
           Sessed
           under
           value
           ;
           besides
           ,
           separation
           might
           breed
           emulation
           ,
           suspition
           of
           partiality
           and
           confusion
           .
           The
           time
           was
           resolved
           upon
           .
           And
           in
           respect
           of
           expedition
           ,
           to
           be
           by
           the
           first
           of
           February
           .
           And
           the
           whole
           Realm
           when
           each
           man
           comes
           into
           his
           Country
           will
           be
           better
           satisfied
           when
           they
           shall
           know
           they
           have
           spared
           no
           man
           ,
           nor
           made
           any
           disjunction
           .
           It
           was
           said
           by
           a
           Member
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           that
           he
           knew
           some
           poor
           people
           pawn'd
           their
           Pots
           and
           Pans
           to
           pay
           the
           Subsidy
           .
           It
           may
           be
           you
           dwell
           where
           you
           see
           and
           hear
           ;
           I
           dwell
           where
           I
           hear
           and
           believe
           .
           And
           this
           I
           know
           that
           neither
           Pot
           nor
           Pan
           ,
           nor
           Dish
           nor
           Spoon
           ,
           should
           be
           spared
           when
           danger
           is
           at
           our
           Elbows
           .
           But
           he
           that
           spake
           this
           ,
           in
           my
           Conscience
           spake
           it
           not
           to
           hinder
           the
           Subsidy
           ,
           or
           the
           greatness
           of
           the
           Gift
           ,
           but
           to
           shew
           the
           Poverty
           of
           some
           Sessed
           ,
           and
           by
           sparing
           them
           to
           yield
           them
           relief
           .
           But
           by
           no
           means
           I
           would
           have
           the
           three
           pound
           men
           exempted
           ,
           because
           I
           do
           wish
           the
           King
           of
           Spain
           might
           know
           how
           willing
           we
           are
           to
           sell
           all
           in
           defence
           of
           Gods
           Religion
           ,
           our
           Prince
           and
           Country
           .
        
         
           I
           have
           read
           when
           Hannibal
           resolved
           to
           sack
           Rome
           ,
           he
           dwelt
           in
           the
           Cities
           adjoining
           ,
           and
           never
           feared
           or
           doubted
           of
           his
           Enterprize
           ,
           till
           word
           was
           brought
           him
           that
           the
           Maidens
           ,
           Ladies
           and
           Women
           of
           Rome
           sold
           their
           Ear
           Rings
           ,
           Jewels
           and
           all
           their
           necessaries
           to
           maintain
           War
           against
           him
           .
           I
           do
           take
           my self
           in
           duty
           bound
           to
           acquaint
           this
           House
           with
           the
           modesty
           of
           the
           Committee
           at
           the
           Proposition
           ;
           that
           where
           first
           this
           House
           never
           stuck
           to
           commit
           it
           ,
           they
           never
           stuck
           (
           understanding
           the
           reasons
           )
           to
           grant
           it
           .
           I
           do
           perswade
           my self
           ,
           that
           the

           of

           did
           not

           resolved
           unity

           than
           we
           had
           unity
           in
           resolution
           .
           And
           of

           Thus
           by
           your
           Commandments
           have
           I
           undergone
           this
           Charge

           Then

           It
           is

           should
           be
           used
           ;
           for
           it
           is
           the
           antient
           use
           of

           man
           to
           be
           silent
           when
           any
           one
           speaketh

           down
           .
           In

           said

           that
           it

           against

           given
           their
           Voice

           Secretary

           I
           am
           willing
           to
           speak
           in
           two
           respects

           the
           one
           touching
           the
           Bill
           it self
           ,
           the
           other
           touching
           the
           Controversie
           in
           the
           House
           about
           the
           Commitment
           .
           Touching
           the
           Bill
           ,
           I
           dare
           not
           upon
           my
           own
           Judgment
           be
           so
           venturous
           or
           bold
           to
           reject
           this
           Bill
           ,
           unless
           first
           it
           might
           have
           a
           Commitment
           .
           For
           the
           wisdom
           of
           that
           time
           when
           it
           was
           first
           instituted
           was
           so
           apt
           to
           look
           into
           imperfections
           ,
           that
           doubtless
           if
           an
           inconvenience
           had
           been
           but
           espied
           ,
           they
           would
           streight
           have
           avoided
           it
           .
           Therefore
           in
           my
           opinion
           it
           is
           not
           fit
           for
           us
           to
           look
           into
           the
           Actions
           of
           former
           Ages
           ,
           but
           upon
           mature
           and
           advised
           deliberation
           .
           I
           do
           therefore
           greatly
           commend
           the
           Wisdom
           of

           before
           we
           reject
           them
           .
           For
           the
           other
           part
           ,
           though

           those
           against

           there
           is
           no

           have
           their

           Voices

           Action

           That

           it
           is

           ,
           when
           the

             Hobbic
          
           said

           There
           is
           no
           Court
           that
           doth
           not
           observe
           his
           Rites
           and
           follow
           his
           Priviledges
           ,
           much
           more
           this
           High
           Court
           of
           Parliament
           being
           the
           greatest
           ,
           and
           Commander
           of
           all
           other
           Courts
           ,
           doth
           and
           ought
           to
           observe
           the
           same
           most
           strictly
           ;
           And
           all
           the
           Precedents
           which
           I
           have
           seen
           and
           observed
           touching
           this
           point
           have
           ever
           gone
           to
           the
           Clerk
           of
           the
           Crown
           and
           to
           none
           other
           .
           And
           therefore
           I
           take
           it
           ,
           that
           course
           ought
           inviolably
           to
           be
           observed
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             George
             Moore
          
           said
           ,
           I
           agree
           with
           the
           Gentleman
           that
           last
           spake
           ,
           that
           Precedents
           ought
           to
           be
           observed
           ;
           but
           yet
           not
           altogether
           ,
           upon
           urgent
           occasion
           or
           by
           necessity
           of
           time
           :
           knowing
           this
           ,
           I
           take
           it
           my
           duty
           to
           inform
           you
           ,
           if
           any
           alteration
           have
           been
           ,
           it
           proceeded
           from
           the
           imperfection
           of
           a
           Speaker
           .
           It
           was
           well
           observed
           by
           an
           antient
           Member
           of
           this
           House
           ,
           that
           no
           Conserence
           with
           the
           Lords
           touching
           a
           Subsidy
           should
           be
           had
           :
           Yet
           that
           Rule
           hath
           been
           altered
           in
           late
           Parliaments
           by
           reason
           of
           special
           Causes
           .
           So
           do
           I
           think
           it
           would
           be
           more
           Honourable
           to
           this
           House
           to
           direct
           our
           Warrant
           to
           the
           Lord
           Keeper
           ,
           than
           to
           any
           inferiour
           Minister
           in
           the
           Chancery
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Francis
             Hastings
          
           said
           ,
           By
           the
           leave
           of
           your
           Honourable
           Favours
           ,
           I
           will
           shew
           you
           that
           I
           my self
           was
           Yesterday
           with
           the
           Lord
           Keeper
           ,
           and
           how
           Honourably
           I
           heard
           him
           speak
           of
           this
           House
           ;
           that
           he
           desired
           nothing
           more
           than
           to
           shew
           the
           duty
           and
           love
           he
           beareth
           us
           ,
           as
           also
           himself
           would
           be
           our
           immediate
           Officer
           ,
           and
           would
           be
           willing
           and
           glad
           to
           receive
           a
           Warrant
           from
           us
           ,
           so
           it
           might
           be
           directed
           to
           him
           for
           his
           discharge
           ,
           be
           it
           in
           what
           terms
           soever
           we
           pleased
           .
           And
           he
           said
           ,
           he
           doubted
           not
           ,
           but
           if
           this
           Honourable
           House
           knew
           so
           much
           ,
           they
           would
           rather
           chuse
           him
           than
           any
           other
           for
           their
           Minister
           .
           Thus
           much
           I
           thought
           good
           to
           certifie
           this
           House
           of
           ,
           which
           being
           spoken
           in
           private
           unto
           me
           ,
           I
           now
           deliver
           in
           publick
           unto
           you
           for
           my
           own
           advice
           .
           I
           think
           nothing
           can
           be
           more
           Honourable
           unto
           this
           House
           ,
           than
           to
           have
           a

           of

           great
           Estate
           ,
           to
           whom
           we
           may
           direct

           It
           is
           far
           more
           Honourable
           for
           this
           House
           in
           my
           opinion
           ,

           two
           Members
           were
           sent
           to
           require
           the
           Lord
           Keeper

           of
           a
           
             Quo
             Warranto
          
           for
           the
           Liberties
           of
           the
           Black-Fryars
           withheld
           ,
           but
           to
           what
           purpose
           ignoro
           .
        
         
           Then
           it
           grew
           to
           a
           question
           ,
           whether
           a

           dispute
           they
           agreed
           ,
           that
           the

           Hospitality

           is
           required

           And
           next

           Marriage

           Sir
           
             George
             Moore
          
           said

           He
           thought
           the
           Bill
           most
           sit
           to
           be
           committed
           ,
           it
           being
           in
           the
           general
           opinion
           a
           good
           Law
           ,
           and
           tending
           to
           a
           good

           ;
           and
           such
           is
           the
           iniquity
           of
           this
           Age
           ,
           that
           for
           want
           of
           a
           good
           Law
           of
           this
           nature
           ,
           many
           Souls
           do
           not
           only
           languish
           but
           perish
           everlastingly

           want
           of
           Spiritual
           Food
           .
           I
           think
           therefore
           ,
           that
           though
           there
           be
           some
           imperfections
           in
           the
           Bill
           ,
           yet
           the
           body
           and
           parts
           of
           it
           may
           be
           amended
           to
           every
           mans
           satisfaction
           .
        
         
           Mr.
           Lock
           said
           ,
           Mr.
           Speaker
           ,
           I
           think
           bare
           silence
           is
           not
           an
           exoneration
           of
           a
           Mans
           Conscience
           ;
           the
           similitude
           of
           Offices
           and
           Benefices
           made
           by
           the
           Doctor
           doth
           not
           hold
           ,
           under
           favour
           ;
           for
           
             Non
             est
             incipiendum
             cum
             Laicis
             ,
             sed
             incipiendum
             à
             Domo
             Dei
          
           ;
           Therefore
           if
           they
           begin
           first
           ,
           we
           shall
           follow
           in
           avoiding
           Pluralities
           .
        
         
           Doctor
           James
           said
           ,
           That
           it
           had
           been
           said
           ,
           That
           Pluralities
           were
           the
           cause
           of
           bringing
           corruption
           into
           the
           Church
           ;
           but
           for
           that
           ,
           under
           favour
           ,
           said
           he
           ,
           I
           think
           the
           contrary
           ,
           because
           corruption
           is
           commonly
           where
           Poverty
           is
           ;
           but
           if
           competent
           living
           be
           given
           to
           the
           Minister
           ,
           I
           see
           no
           reason
           why
           just
           men
           should
           judge
           there
           to
           be
           corruption
           .
           Secondly
           ,
           It
           was
           said
           ,
           that
           it
           would
           be
           a
           means
           of
           Preaching
           the
           Word
           ;
           for
           that
           I
           Answer
           ,
           that
           if
           hope
           of
           competent
           living
           be
           taken
           away
           ,
           it
           will
           be
           a
           means
           to
           make
           the
           best
           Wits
           refuse
           the
           study
           of
           Divinity
           .
           And
           therefore
           an
           Historian
           saith
           well
           ,
           that
           
             Sublatis
             praemiis
             corruunt
             Artes.
          
           Consider
           besides
           ,
           that
           in
           England
           there
           are

           eight
           thousand
           eight
           hundred

           six
           hundred
           of

           afford
           competent
           living
           for
           a
           Minister

           What
           then
           shall
           become
           of
           the

           Preferments
           unless
           it
           be

           no
           easy

           they

           especially
           in

           Catching
           Age.
           To
           give
           the

           as

           Mr.

           Because
           my self

           an
           Officer

           I
           mean
           only
           to
           speak
           of
           the

           By

           after

           the

           be
           no
           innovation
           in
           us
           ,
           but
           a
           renovation
           of
           the
           Common
           Law.
           And
           I
           will
           end
           only
           with
           this
           Caution
           to
           the
           House
           ,
           that
           commonly
           the
           most
           Ignorant
           Divines
           of
           this
           Land
           be
           double
           Beneficed
           .
        
         
           Mr.
           Serjeant
           Harris
           said
           ,
           We
           seem
           to
           defend
           the
           Priviledges
           and
           Customs
           of
           the
           House
           ,
           but
           if
           we
           proceed
           to
           determine
           of
           this
           Bill
           ,
           Mr.
           Speaker
           ,
           we
           shall
           not
           only
           infringe
           a
           Custom
           which
           we
           have
           ever
           observed
           ,
           viz.
           to
           meddle
           with
           no
           matter
           that
           toucheth
           her
           Majesties
           Prerogative
           ;
           but
           also
           procure
           her
           great
           displeasure
           .
           Admit
           we
           should
           determine
           of
           this
           matter
           ,
           yet
           her
           Majesty
           may
           grant
           toleration
           with
           a
           
             Non
             obstante
          
           .
           And
           ,
           Mr.
           Speaker
           ,
           the
           last
           Parliament
           may
           be
           a
           warning
           to
           us
           when
           the
           like
           Bill
           by
           us
           was
           prefer'd
           ,
           and
           the
           same
           not
           only
           rejected
           ,
           but
           also
           her
           Majesty
           commanded
           the
           Lord
           Keeper
           to
           tell
           us
           ,
           that
           she
           hoped
           we
           would
           not
           hereafter
           meddle
           in
           Cases
           of
           this
           nature
           so
           nearly
           touching
           her
           Prerogative
           Royal.
           
        
         
           Mr.
           Martin
           spake
           to
           this
           effect
           :
           I
           agree
           with
           one
           that
           said
           ,
           Learning
           should
           have
           her
           Reward
           ;
           but
           I
           say
           more
           ,
           that
           our
           Souls
           should
           have
           their
           Spiritual
           Food
           ;
           And
           I
           do
           wish
           ,
           that
           Divines
           may
           have
           promotion
           not
           only
           with
           good
           convenience
           ,
           but
           also
           with
           good
           abundance
           .
           Though
           I
           be
           Zealous
           ,
           yet
           I
           hope
           to
           refrain
           and
           restrain
           my self
           from
           that
           heat
           ,
           which
           the
           heat
           of
           my
           Zeal
           and
           love
           of
           my
           Country
           drew
           me
           into
           very
           lately
           ,
           for
           which
           I
           do
           not
           only
           acknowledge
           my self
           guilty
           in
           your
           Censures
           ,
           but
           also
           crave
           Pardon
           of
           every
           particular
           Member
           of
           this
           House
           ,
           that
           heard
           me
           ,
           but
           most
           especially
           of
           him
           I
           offended
           .
           But
           touching
           this
           Bill
           Mr.
           Speaker
           ,
           and
           so
           he
           spake
           to
           the
           Bill
           ,
           &c.
           
        
         
           After
           this
           Speech
           an
           old
           Doctor
           of
           the
           Civil
           Law
           spake
           ;
           but
           because
           he
           was
           too
           long
           and
           spake
           too
           low
           ,
           the
           House
           hawk'd
           and
           spat
           and
           kept
           a
           great
           coil
           to
           make
           him
           make
           an
           end
           .
           Which
           Speech
           finished
           ,
        
         
           Sir
           
             Francis
             Hastings
          
           stood
           up
           and
           said
           ,
           My
           Masters
           ,
           I
           utterly
           dislike
           this
           strange
           kind
           of
           course
           in
           the
           House
           ,
           it
           is
           the
           antient
           usage
           that
           every
           man
           here
           should
           speak
           his
           Conscience
           ,
           and
           that
           both
           freely
           and
           with
           attention
           ,
           yea
           though
           he
           speak
           never
           so
           absurdly
           .
           I
           beseech
           you
           therefore
           that
           this
           may
           be
           amended
           ,
           and
           this
           troubling
           of
           any
           man
           in
           his
           Speech
           no
           more
           used
           .
           But
           to
           the
           matter
           ,
           Mr.
           Speaker
           ,
           I
           protest
           that
           which
           I
           shall
           speak
           I
           will
           utter
           to
           you
           all
           out
           of
           the
           Conscience
           of
           a
           Christian
           ,
           Loyalty
           of
           a
           Subject
           ,
           and
           heart
           of
           an
           Englishman
           .
           I
           know
           that
           
             Distributio
             Parochiarum
             est
             ex

             humano
             non
             Divino
             :
          
           But
           he
           that
           said
           so
           much
           ,
           give
           me
           leave
           to
           tell
           him
           ,
           that
           
             Distributio
             verbi
             Divini
             est

             &
             humano
             .
          
           If
           then
           by
           the
           distributing

           learned
           men
           ,
           the
           Word
           may
           be
           the
           better
           distributed
           unto
           the
           people
           ,
           and
           preached
           ,
           as
           God
           be
           thanked
           ,
           it
           hath
           been
           these
           forty

           I
           beseech
           the

           I
           see

           ,
           Mr.
           Speaker
           ,
           why
           
           we
           should
           doubt

           mischief
           from
           the
           Common-Wealth
           before

             Francis
             Bacon
          
           said
           ,
           the
           Gentleman
           that
           spake
           last
           coasted
           so
           for

           against
           the

           that
           for
           my

           not
           well
           hearing
           him

           I
           did
           not
           perfectly
           understand
           him

           I
           confess
           the

           is
           in
           few
           words
           ,
           but
           yet
           ponderous
           and
           weighty
           .
           For
           the

           for
           my
           own

           ever
           allowed
           of

           it
           is
           such
           as
           I

           her

           Sometimes
           there
           is
           a

           another
           kind
           of

           .
           Sometimes
           there
           is
           a
           scarcity
           or
           a
           small
           quantity
           ,
           and
           the
           like
           is

           where
           if
           the

           find

           but

           that
           must
           stand

           and

           that
           we

           therefore
           to

           humbly
           pray

           He
           that

           go
           about

           had
           need
           walk
           warily

           In
           respect
           of
           a
           grievance
           out
           of
           the
           City
           for
           which
           I
           come
           ,
           I
           think
           my self
           bound
           to
           speak
           that
           now
           which
           I
           had
           not
           intended
           to
           speak
           before
           ;
           I
           mean
           a
           Monopoly
           of
           Salt.
           It
           is
           an
           old
           Proverb

           Fire
           and
           Water
           are
           not
           more
           necessary
           .
           But
           for
           other
           Monopolies
           of

           (
           at
           which
           word

           the
           like

           they
           are

           because
           Monopolies
           )
           I
           must
           confess
           very
           burtful
           ,
           though
           not
           all
           alike
           hurtful
           .
           I
           know
           there
           is
           a
           great
           difference
           in
           them
           ;
           And
           I
           think
           if
           the
           abuses
           in
           this
           Monopoly
           of
           Salt
           were
           particularized
           ,
           this
           would
           walk
           in
           the
           fore
           rank
           .
           Now
           seeing
           we
           are
           come
           to
           the
           means
           of
           redress
           ,
           let
           us
           see
           that
           it
           be
           so
           mannerly
           and
           handsomely
           handled
           ,
           that
           after
           a
           Commitment
           it
           may
           have
           good

           This
           is

           as
           I

           it

           evil
           ;
           So
           I
           think

           is
           no

           because
           two
           Eyes
           may
           see
           more
           than
           one

           I
           humbly

           something
           may
           be
           therein

           may

           As
           I
           would
           be
           no
           lett
           or
           over
           vehement
           in
           any
           thing
           ,
           so
           I
           am
           not
           sottish
           or
           senseless
           of
           the
           common
           grievance
           of
           the
           Common-Wealth
           .
           If
           we
           proceed
           by
           way
           of
           Petition
           ,
           we
           can
           have
           no
           more
           gracious
           Answer
           than
           we
           had
           the
           last
           Parliament
           to
           our

           But
           since
           that
           Parliament
           we
           have
           no
           reformation
           ;
           And
           the
           reason
           why
           I
           think
           no

           is
           ,
           because
           I
           never
           heard
           the
           cry
           against

           only
           thus
           much
           ,
           I
           would
           we
           were
           all
           so
           happy

           had
           heard

           part
           of

           in
           my
           Soul
           and
           Conscience
           we

           that
           a

           no
           Apostate

           but
           I
           stick
           to
           the
           former
           faith
           and
           opinion
           that
           I
           was
           of
           ,
           that
           by
           way
           of
           Petition
           will
           be
           our
           safest
           course
           ;
           for
           it
           is
           to
           no
           purpose
           to
           offer
           to
           tie
           her
           hands
           by
           Act
           of
           Parliament
           ,
           when
           she
           may

           her
           pleasure

           I
           think

           Course

           And
           therefore
           the
           best
           way
           is

           for
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           we
           be

           an

           the
           most
           convenient
           way
           to
           reform
           these
           grievances
           of
           Monopoly
           :
           But
           after
           disputation
           ,
           of
           the
           labour
           we
           have
           not
           received
           the
           expected
           fruit
           .
           If
           every
           man
           shall
           take
           leave
           to
           speak
           for
           the
           common
           Subject
           ,
           I
           am
           afraid
           in
           these
           vast
           powers
           of
           our
           mind
           ,
           we
           shall
           dispute
           the
           project
           and
           reformation
           quite
           out
           of
           doors
           .
           This
           dispute
           draws
           two
           great
           things
           in
           question
           ;
           First
           the
           Princes
           power
           ;
           Secondly
           the
           freedom
           of
           Englishmen
           .
           I
           am
           born
           an
           Englishman
           and
           am
           a
           Fellow-Member
           of
           this
           House
           ;
           I
           would
           desire
           to
           live
           no
           day
           ,
           in
           which
           I
           should
           detract
           from
           either
           .
           I
           am
           servant
           unto
           the
           Queen
           ,
           and
           before
           I
           would
           speak
           or
           give
           consent
           to
           a
           Case
           that
           should
           debase
           her
           Prerogative
           or
           abridge
           it
           ,
           I
           would
           wish
           my
           tongue
           cut
           out
           of
           my
           head
           .
           I
           am
           sure
           there
           were
           Law-makers
           before
           there
           were
           Laws
           .
           One
           Gentleman
           went
           about
           to
           possess
           us
           ,
           with
           the
           Execution
           of

           Likely
           enough
           to
           be
           true
           in
           that
           time
           ,
           when
           the
           King
           was
           afraid
           of
           the
           Subject

           Though
           this
           Precedent

           a

           of
           the
           Parliament

           and
           then
           it
           was
           no

           such
           a

           examined
           .
           If
           you
           stand
           upon
           Law

           I
           had

           will
           tell
           you
           what
           I
           think
           of
           these
           Monopolies
           :
           I
           take
           them
           to
           be
           of
           three
           natures
           ,
           some
           of
           a
           free
           nature

           good
           ,
           some
           void
           of
           themselves
           ,
           some
           both
           good
           and
           void
           .
           For
           the
           first
           ,
           when
           the
           Prince
           dispenses
           with
           a
           penal
           Law
           that
           is
           left
           to
           the
           alteration
           of
           Sovereignty

           I
           think

           powerful

           irrevocable
           .
           For
           the
           second

           as
           to
           grant
           that
           which
           taketh
           from
           the
           Subject
           his
           Birthright
           ,
           such
           men
           as
           desire
           these
           kind
           of
           Patents
           ,
           I
           account
           them
           misdoers
           and
           wilful
           and
           wicked
           offenders
           .
           Of
           the
           third
           sort
           is
           the
           Licence
           for
           the
           matter
           of
           Cards
           ,
           &c.
           
           And
           therefore

           Commitment

           what
           her
           Majesty
           may
           grant

           what
           not

           what
           course

           I
           owe

           is
           attended

           I
           have
           been
           (
           though
           unworthy
           )
           a

           six
           or
           seven
           Parliaments
           ,
           yet
           never
           did
           I
           see
           the
           House
           in
           so
           great
           Confusion
           .
           I
           believe
           there
           never
           was
           in
           any
           Parliament
           a
           more
           tender
           point
           handled
           than
           the
           Liberty
           of
           the
           Subject
           ,
           that
           when
           any
           is
           discussing
           this
           point
           ,
           he
           should
           be
           cried
           and
           cought
           down
           .
           This
           is
           more
           fit
           for
           a
           Grammar-School
           than
           a
           Court
           of
           Parliament
           .
           I
           have
           been
           a
           Counsellor
           of
           State
           this
           twelve
           years
           ,
           yet
           did
           I
           never
           know
           it
           subject
           to
           construction
           of
           levity
           and
           disorder
           .
           Much
           more
           ought
           we
           to
           be
           regardful
           in
           so
           great
           and
           grave
           an
           Assembly
           .
           Why
           ,
           we
           have
           had
           Speeches
           upon
           Speeches
           ,
           without
           either
           Order
           or
           Discretion
           .
           One
           would
           have
           had
           us
           proceed
           by
           Bill
           ,
           and
           see
           if
           the
           Queen
           would
           have
           denied
           it
           :
           Another
           ,
           that
           the
           Patents
           should
           be
           brought
           here
           before
           us
           and
           cancelled
           ;
           and
           this
           were
           bravely
           done
           .
           Others
           would
           have
           us
           to
           proceed
           by
           way
           of
           Petition
           ,
           which
           Course
           doubtless
           is
           best
           ;
           but
           for
           the
           first
           ,
           and
           especially
           for
           the
           second
           ,
           it
           is

           speedy
           resolution
           in
           making
           of
           so
           hasty
           and
           free
           a
           Subsidy
           ,
           which
           commonly
           succeeded
           and
           never
           went
           before
           our
           Councels
           ;
           and
           for
           our
           Loyalty
           :
           I
           do
           assure
           you
           with
           such
           and
           so
           great
           Zeal
           and
           Affection
           she
           uttered
           and
           shewed
           the
           same
           ,
           that
           to
           express
           it
           ,
           our
           tongues
           are
           not
           able
           ,
           neither
           our
           hearts
           to
           conceive
           it
           .
           It
           pleased
           her
           Majesty
           to
           say
           unto
           me
           ,
           that
           if
           she
           had
           an
           hundred
           tongues
           she
           could
           not
           express
           our
           hearty
           earty
           good
           Wills.
           And
           further
           she
           said
           ,
           that
           as
           she
           had
           ever
           held
           our
           good
           most
           dear
           ,
           so
           the
           last
           day
           of
           our
           (
           or
           her
           )
           Life
           should
           witness
           it
           ;
           And
           that
           the
           least
           of
           her
           Subjects
           was
           not
           grieved
           ,
           and
           she
           not
           touched
           .
           She
           appealed
           to
           the
           Throne
           of
           Almighty
           God
           ,
           how
           careful
           she
           hath
           been
           and
           will
           be
           to
           defend
           her
           People
           from
           all
           Oppressions
           .
           She
           said
           ,
           that
           partly
           by
           intimation
           of
           her
           Council
           ,
           and
           partly
           by
           divers
           Petitions
           that
           have
           been
           delivered
           unto
           her
           both
           going
           to
           the
           Chapel
           and
           also
           to
           walk
           abroad
           ,
           she
           understood
           that
           divers
           Patents
           ,
           which
           she
           had
           granted
           ,
           were
           grievous
           to
           her
           Subjects
           ;
           and
           that
           the
           Substitutes
           of
           the
           Patentees
           had
           used
           great
           Oppressions
           .
           But
           she
           said
           ,
           she
           never
           assented
           to
           grant
           any
           thing
           which
           was
           
             Malum
             in
             se.
          
           And
           if
           in
           the
           abuse
           of
           her
           Grant
           there
           be
           any
           thing
           evil
           (
           which
           she
           took
           knowledge
           there
           was
           )
           she
           her self
           would
           take
           present
           Order
           of
           reformation
           .
           I
           cannot
           express
           unto
           you
           the
           Apparent
           Indignation
           of
           her
           Majesty
           towards
           these
           abuses
           .
           She
           said
           that
           her
           Kingly
           Prerogative
           (
           for
           so
           she
           termed
           it
           )
           was
           tender
           ;
           and
           therefore
           desireth
           us
           not
           to
           fear
           or
           doubt
           of
           her
           careful
           reformation
           ;
           for
           she
           said
           ,
           that
           her
           Commandment
           was
           given
           a
           little
           before
           the
           late
           troubles
           (
           meaning
           the
           Earl
           of
           Essex's
           matters
           )
           but
           had
           an
           unfortunate
           Event
           :
           but
           that
           in
           the
           middest
           of
           her
           most
           great
           and
           weighty
           occasions
           ,
           she
           thought
           upon
           them
           .
           And
           that
           this
           should
           not
           suffice
           ,
           but
           that
           further
           Order
           should
           be
           taken
           presently
           and
           not
           
             in
             futuro
          
           (
           for
           that
           also
           was
           another
           word
           which
           I
           take
           it
           her
           Majesty
           used
           )
           and
           that
           some
           should
           be
           presently
           repealed
           ,
           some
           suspended
           ,
           and
           none
           put
           in
           Execution
           ,
           but
           such
           as
           should
           first
           have
           a
           Tryal
           according
           to
           the
           Law
           for
           the
           good
           of
           the
           People
           .
           Against
           the
           abuses
           her
           wrath
           was
           so
           incensed
           ,
           that
           she
           said
           ,
           that
           she
           neither
           could
           nor
           would
           suffer
           such
           to
           escape
           with
           impunity
           .
           So
           to
           my
           unspeakable
           comfort
           she
           hath
           made
           me
           the
           Messenger
           of
           this
           her
           gracious
           Thankfulness
           and
           Care.
           Now
           we
           see
           that
           the
           Axe
           of
           her
           Princely
           Justice
           is
           laid
           to
           the
           Root
           of
           the
           Tree
           ;
           and
           so
           we
           see
           her
           gracious
           goodness
           hath
           prevented
           our
           Counsels
           and
           Consultations
           .
           God
           make
           us
           thankful
           ,
           and
           send
           her
           long
           to
           Reign
           amongst
           us
           .
           If
           through
           weakness
           of
           memory
           ,
           want
           of
           utterance
           or
           frailty
           of
           my Self
           ,
           I
           have
           omitted
           any
           thing
           of
           her
           Majesties
           Commands
           ,
           I
           do
           most
           humbly
           crave
           Pardon
           for
           the
           same
           :
           And
           do
           beseech
           the
           Honourable
           Persons
           which
           assist
           this
           Chair
           and
           were
           present
           before
           her
           Majesty
           at
           the
           delivery
           hereof
           ,
           to
           supply
           and
           help
           my
           imperfections
           ;
           which
           joined
           with
           my
           fear
           have
           caused
           me
           (
           no
           doubt
           )
           to
           forget
           something
           which
           I
           should
           have
           delivered
           unto
           you
           .
        
         
           After
           a
           little
           pause
           and
           silent
           talking

           agreeable

           be
           taxed
           Yesterday
           of
           the
           House

           I
           protest

           Zeal
           to
           have
           the

           in
           a
           right
           and
           hopeful
           course

           and
           my
           fear
           to
           displease
           her
           Majesty
           by
           a
           harsh
           and
           rash
           proceeding
           made
           me
           so
           much
           to
           lay
           aside
           my
           discretion
           ,
           that
           I
           said
           it
           might
           rather
           be
           termed
           a
           School
           than
           a
           Council
           ,
           or
           to
           that
           effect
           .
           But
           by
           this
           Speech
           if
           any
           think
           I
           called
           him
           School-Boy
           ,
           he
           both
           wrongs
           me
           and
           mistakes
           me
           .
           Shall
           I
           tell
           you
           what
           Demosthenes
           said
           to
           the
           Clamours
           which
           the
           Athenians
           made
           ,
           that
           they
           were
           
             Pueriles
             &
             dignos
             pueris
          
           .
           And
           yet
           that
           was
           to
           a
           popular
           State.
           And
           I
           wish
           that
           whatsoever
           is
           here
           spoken
           may
           be
           buried
           within
           these
           Walls
           .
           Let
           us
           take
           Example
           of
           the
           Jewish
           Synagogue
           ,
           who
           would
           always
           
             Sepelire
             Senatum
             cum
             honore
          
           ,
           and
           not
           blast
           their
           own
           Follies
           and
           Imperfections
           .
           If
           any
           man
           in
           this
           House
           speak
           wisely
           ,
           we
           do
           him
           great
           wrong
           to
           interrupt
           him
           ;
           if
           foolishly
           ,
           let
           us
           hear
           him
           out
           ,
           we
           shall
           have
           the
           more
           cause
           to
           tax
           him
           .
           And
           I
           do
           heartily
           pray

           but
           I
           never
           meant

           Mr.
           Wingfield
           said
           ,
           My
           heart
           is
           not
           able
           to
           conceive
           the
           joy
           which
           I
           feel
           ,
           and
           I
           assure
           you
           my
           Tongue
           cannot
           utter
           the
           same
           .
           If
           a
           sentence
           of
           Everlasting
           happiness
           had
           been
           pronounced
           unto
           me
           ,
           it
           could
           not
           have
           made
           me
           shew
           more
           outward
           joy
           than
           now
           I
           do
           ,
           which
           I
           cannot
           refrain
           to
           express
           (
           and
           here
           as
           I
           think
           he
           wept
           )
           There
           could
           nothing
           have
           been
           more
           acceptable
           to
           the
           Subject
           than
           this
           Message
           .
           And
           I
           verily
           think
           ,
           if
           ever
           any
           of
           her
           Majesties
           words
           be
           meritorious
           before
           God
           ,
           this
           is
           .
           I
           do
           agree
           withall
           my
           heart
           in
           the
           first
           part
           of
           the
           Gentlemans
           motion
           that
           last
           spake
           ;
           but
           do
           utterly
           mislike
           the
           latter
           :
           For
           it
           is
           not
           to
           be
           intended
           ,
           we
           should
           have
           had
           so
           good
           and
           gratious
           a
           Message
           ,
           if
           the
           truth
           of
           some

           now
           for
           us
           to
           accuse
           our selves
           by

           a
           fault

           inconvenient

           upon

           M

           I
           sound
           that
           he
           was
           no
           menial
           Servant

           but
           only

           brought

           Whereupon
           I
           think
           the

           having
           so
           much

           I
           humbly
           pray
           the
           Serjeant
           may
           be

           I.
           
        
         
           After
           three
           Congies
           made
           the
           Serjeant
           shewed
           ,
           that
           he
           was
           with
           M
           r
           Morrice
           ,
           and
           that
           he
           offered
           him
           to
           send
           one
           of
           his
           men
           ,
           but
           because
           he
           was
           in
           doubt
           of
           finding
           them
           ,
           he
           desired
           some

           or
           Horses
           ,
           or
           else
           he
           would
           find

           his
           fellow
           Serjeants
           to
           go
           ,
           because
           he
           could
           not
           well
           be
           spared
           from

           Service
           ;
           if
           not
           ,
           he
           would
           for
           his
           more
           Expedition
           procure
           a
           Pursevant
           to
           go
           with

           under

           and
           some
           of
           the
           Honourable
           of

           Councel
           in
           this
           House
           for

           more
           speedy

           .
           All

           rejected
           .
           And
           I
           hope
           the
           House
           meant
           not
           I
           should
           go
           or
           send

           .
           And
           therefore
           I
           hope
           this
           will
           be
           sufficient
           for

           .
           And
           all

           I.
           
        
         
           So
           no
           more
           was
           said
           of
           that

           ,
           for
           the

           seemed
           to
           favour
           the
           cause
           ,
           and
           therefore
           he
           presently
           stood
           up
           and
           asked
           if
           the
           House
           would
           have

           though
           poor

           a

           This
           perhaps
           may
           be
           a

           but
           thinketh

           I
           would

           honesty

           do
           protest

           himself
           .
           And
           as
           soon

           heard

           I
           went

           with
           him

           As

           Sir

           The

           (
           Mr.

           is
           a
           Man
           of
           good
           desert

           sort
           and
           carriage
           ;
           and
           I
           think
           if
           he
           had
           known
           me

           this
           House
           ,
           he
           would
           not
           have
           served
           me
           with
           the
           Subpoena
           .
           Truly
           he
           came
           to
           my
           Lodging
           and
           acknowledged
           his
           great
           fault
           ,
           and
           prayed
           me
           to
           extenuate
           it
           .
           I
           protest
           I
           think
           he
           did
           not
           know
           I
           was
           of

           .
           And
           therefore
           I
           humbly
           pray
           that
           in

           and
           good
           service
           done
           to
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           his
           offence
           may
           be
           as
           freely
           remitted

           of
           this
           House
           would
           move
           her
           Majesty
           and
           be
           earnest
           means
           of
           speed
           ,
           lest
           that
           which
           is
           now
           meant
           indeed
           may
           by
           protraction
           of
           time
           be
           altered
           ,
           or
           perhaps
           not
           so
           happily
           effected
           .
        
         
           M
           r
           Secretary
           Cecill
           said
           ,
           I
           promised
           to
           be
           as
           silent
           as
           I
           could
           .
           Among
           much
           Speech
           of
           the
           wise
           ,
           there
           wants
           not
           much
           folly
           ,
           much
           more
           in
           me
           .
           I
           do
           not
           speak
           because
           I
           do
           dislike
           the
           Motion
           of
           the
           Gentleman
           that
           last
           spake
           ,
           but
           to
           defend
           the
           diligence
           and
           grace
           of
           the
           Queen
           .
           It
           is
           no
           matter
           of
           Toy
           for
           a
           Prince
           to
           notifie
           in
           publick
           a
           matter
           of
           this
           weight
           .
           Though
           the
           Idol
           of
           a
           Monopoly
           be
           a
           great
           Monster
           ,
           yet
           after
           two
           or
           three
           days
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           you
           shall
           see
           him
           dismember'd
           ;
           And
           I
           protest
           there
           is
           not
           any
           Soul
           that
           lives
           deserves
           thanks
           in
           this
           Cause
           but
           our
           Sovereign
           .
           Yesterday
           the
           Queen
           gave
           Order
           for
           a
           Draught
           of
           a
           Proclamation
           ,
           I
           had
           it
           in
           my
           hand
           .
           You
           all
           know
           ,
           I
           went
           even
           now
           out
           of
           the
           House
           (
           that
           was
           in
           the
           middle
           of
           M
           r
           Tate's
           Speech
           )
           then
           I
           read
           it
           ,
           and
           sent
           for
           him
           that
           should
           deliver
           it
           to
           her
           hands
           .
           Now
           what
           needs
           this
           new
           Zeal
           ?
        
         
           M
           r
           Davies
           said
           ,
           M
           r
           Speaker
           ,
           I
           stood
           up
           before
           to
           speak
           ,
           it
           is
           not
           much
           I
           had
           to
           say
           ,
           only
           this
           ,
           That
           which
           was
           delivered
           unto
           you
           from
           her
           sacred
           self
           ,
           I
           think
           to
           be
           Gospel
           ,
           that
           is
           ,
           Glad
           Tidings
           ;
           And
           as
           the
           Gospel
           is
           registred
           and
           written
           ,
           so
           would
           I
           have
           that
           also
           ;
           for
           if
           ever
           glad
           tidings
           came
           to
           the
           heart
           of
           the
           Subject
           ,
           they
           now
           come
           .
           This
           is
           all
           Sir.
           
        
         
           Sir
           
             George
             Moore
          
           said
           ,
           This
           eating
           and
           fretting
           Disease
           of
           Monopolies
           I
           have
           ever
           detested
           with
           my
           heart
           ,
           and
           the
           greater
           the
           grievance
           is
           ,
           the
           more
           inestimable
           is
           the
           grave
           wisdom
           of
           her
           Majesty
           in
           repealing
           them
           .
           And
           therefore
           for
           us
           to
           think
           we
           can
           sufficiently
           requite
           the
           same
           ,
           it
           
           were
           to
           hold
           a
           Candle
           before
           the
           Sun
           to
           dim
           the
           Light.
           And
           seeing
           she
           in
           her
           Clemency
           and
           Care
           to
           us
           hath
           taken
           the
           matter
           in
           her
           own
           hands
           ,
           I
           wish
           the
           matter
           may
           be
           no
           more
           spoke
           of
           ,
           much
           less
           proceeded
           in
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Francis
             Hastings
          
           said
           ,
           It
           ought
           to
           be
           written
           in
           the
           Tables
           of
           our
           hearts
           ,
           &c.
           
        
         
           Mr.
           
             Lawrence
             Hide
          
           said
           ,
           I
           think
           the
           Gentleman
           that
           set
           this
           Motion
           on
           foot
           ,
           spake
           out
           of
           Joy
           for
           her
           Majesties
           Grace
           and
           Zeal
           to
           have
           performance
           of
           her
           Promise
           .
           In
           that
           he
           wished
           it
           might
           be
           recorded
           in
           Paper
           here
           or
           Parchment
           ,
           it
           is
           not
           to
           be
           intended
           ,
           but
           he
           meant
           also
           in
           our
           hearts
           ,
           which
           remain
           no
           longer
           than
           we
           live
           ;
           But
           Records
           remain
           long
           ,
           and
           will
           give
           a
           lively
           memory
           in
           Ages
           to
           come
           .
           And
           therefore
           for
           that
           part
           of
           his
           Motion
           I
           think
           it
           very
           good
           ,
           and
           wish
           the
           Clerk
           may
           do
           it
           accordingly
           .
        
         
           Mr.
           Comptroller
           said
           ,
           I
           think
           he
           that
           first
           moved
           this
           question
           ,
           exceedingly
           forgot
           himself
           ,
           and
           exceedingly
           detracted
           from
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           who
           I
           know
           out
           of
           her
           abundant
           love
           and
           grace
           to
           this
           House
           ,
           hath
           taken
           such
           speedy
           course
           ,
           as
           hath
           been
           delivered
           by
           my
           Fellow
           Counsellor
           .
           With
           that
           affection
           she
           embraceth

           I

           this
           Jewel

           I
           mean
           your

           do
           more
           esteem
           it
           than
           any
           Treasure
           or
           Riches
           :
           for
           that
           we
           know
           how
           to
           prize

           but
           Love
           and
           Thanks
           I
           count
           inestimable
           .
           And
           though
           God
           hath
           raised
           me
           High
           ,
           yet
           this
           I
           count
           the
           Glory
           of
           my
           Crown
           ,
           that
           I
           have
           Reigned
           with
           your
           Loves
           .
           This
           makes
           me
           that
           I
           do
           not
           so
           much
           rejoice
           that
           God
           hath
           made
           me
           to
           be
           a
           Queen
           ,
           as
           to
           be
           a
           Queen
           over
           so
           thankful
           a
           People
           .
           Therefore
           I
           have
           cause
           to
           wish
           nothing
           more
           than
           to
           content
           the
           Subject
           ,
           and
           that
           is
           a
           duty
           which
           I
           owe.
           Neither
           do
           I
           desire
           to
           live
           longer
           dayes
           ,
           than
           that
           I
           may
           see
           your
           Prosperity
           ,
           and
           that
           's
           my
           only
           desire
           .
           And
           as
           I
           am
           that
           Person
           that

           you
           ,
           so
           I
           trust
           ,
           by
           the
           Almighty
           Power
           of
           God
           ,
           that
           I
           still
           shall
           be
           his
           Instrument
           to
           preserve
           you

           Shame
           ,
           Tyranny
           and
           Oppression
           ,
           partly
           by
           means
           of
           your
           intended
           helps
           ,
           which
           we
           take
           very
           acceptably
           ,
           because
           it
           manifesteth
           the
           largeness
           of
           your

           Of

           this

           I
           never
           was

           nor
           yet
           a

           My
           heart
           was
           never
           set

           Worldly
           Goods

           but
           only

           What

           I
           will
           not
           hoard
           it
           up

           but
           receive
           it
           to

           all
           this
           while

           Mr.

           You
           give
           me
           thanks
           ,
           but
           I
           doubt
           me
           ,
           I
           have
           more
           cause
           to
           thank
           you
           all
           than
           you
           me
           ;
           And
           I
           charge
           you
           to
           thank
           them
           of
           the
           House
           of
           Commons
           from
           me
           :
           for
           had
           I
           not
           received
           a
           knowledge
           from
           you
           ,
           I
           might
           have
           fallen
           into
           the
           Lap
           of
           an
           Error
           ,
           only
           for
           lack
           of
           true
           Information
           .
           Since
           I
           was
           Queen
           ,
           yet
           did
           I
           never
           put
           my
           Pen
           to
           any
           Grant
           ,
           but
           that
           upon
           pretext
           and
           semblance
           made
           unto
           me
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           both
           good
           and
           beneficial
           to
           the
           Subjects
           in
           general
           ,
           though
           a
           private
           profit
           to
           some
           of
           my
           antient
           Servants
           who
           had
           deserved
           well
           :
           But
           the
           contrary
           being
           found
           by
           Experience
           ,
           I
           am
           exceeding
           beholding
           to
           such
           Subjects
           as
           would
           move
           the
           same
           at
           first
           .
           And
           I
           am
           not
           so
           simple
           to
           suppose
           ,
           but
           that
           there
           be
           some
           of
           the
           Lower
           House
           whom
           these
           grievances
           never
           touched
           ;
           And
           for
           them
           I
           think
           they
           speak
           out
           of
           Zeal
           to
           their
           Countries
           ,
           and
           not
           out
           of
           Spleen
           or
           malevolent
           Affection
           ,
           as
           being
           Parties
           grieved
           ;
           and
           I
           take
           it
           exceeding
           grateful
           from
           them
           ,
           because
           it
           gives
           us
           to
           know
           that
           no
           respects
           or
           interesses
           had
           moved
           them
           ,
           other
           than
           the
           minds

           There
           grew
           a
           question

           was
           the

           Philip

           Another

           First
           I

           made
           her
           a
           means
           to
           save
           us
           from

           greedy
           Griper

           did
           present
           ,
           she
           would
           not
           hoard
           it
           .
           For

           for
           her
           great
           regard
           of
           us
           ,
           she
           willed
           me
           to
           return
           her
           thanks

           most
           graciously
           ;
           and
           to
           tell
           you
           ,
           that
           her
           Heart
           never
           inclined
           to
           pass
           any
           Grant
           but
           upon
           suggestion
           that
           it
           was
           for
           the
           good
           of

           hath
           appeared
           ,
           she
           took
           it
           graciously
           that
           the
           knowledge
           thereof
           came
           from
           her
           Subjects
           .
           She
           ever
           set

           last
           Judgment
           before
           her
           Eyes

           and
           never
           thought
           arose
           in
           her
           but
           for

           good
           of

           against

           Will
           ,
           she
           hoped
           God
           would
           not

           good
           Subjects

           had

           thought

           not
           out

           for
           the
           Penalty
           ,
           the
           other
           in
           respect
           of
           the
           Party
           punishing
           ,
           that
           is
           the
           Justice
           .
           For
           the
           first
           the
           Penalty
           is
           twelve
           pence
           .
           It
           is
           well
           known
           that
           the
           poorest
           Recusant
           in
           England
           ought
           as
           well
           as
           the
           rich
           to
           pay
           his
           twenty
           pound
           ,
           and
           for
           want
           of

           is
           lyable
           ;
           And
           therefore
           we
           shall
           double
           punish
           him
           ,
           which
           is
           against

           For
           the
           other
           ,
           touching
           the
           Justice
           ,
           I
           think
           it
           too
           great
           a
           trouble
           ,
           and
           they
           are
           ever
           loaden
           with
           a
           number
           of
           penal
           Statutes
           ,
           yea
           a
           whole
           Alphabet
           ,
           as
           appears
           by
           Hussey
           in
           the
           time
           of
           Henry
           the
           Seventh
           .
           And
           this
           is
           a
           matter
           so
           obvious
           ,
           that
           a
           Justice
           of
           Peace
           his
           House
           will
           be
           like
           a
           Quarter
           Sessions
           with
           the

           of
           these
           Complaints
           .
           I
           think
           also
           it
           is
           an
           infringement
           of
           
             Magna
             Charta
          
           ,
           for
           that
           gives
           Tryal
           
             per
             pares
          
           ,
           but
           this
           by
           two
           Witnesses
           before
           a
           Justice
           of
           the
           Peace
           .
           And
           by

           Quarter
           Sessions
           ,
           and
           say
           it

           good
           Oath

           this

           for
           ought

           last
           spake

           two
           questions
           ;
           the
           first
           ,
           if

           would
           have
           any
           Penalty
           at
           all
           inflicted
           ;
           the

           this
           an
           easier
           way

           twelve

           If

           deny
           the
           first
           ,
           I
           know

           I
           have

           the

           It
           is
           tied
           deep

           Stomach
           with
           certain
           strings

           reach

           ;
           to
           this
           end
           I
           say

           that
           what
           the

           This
           I
           know

           it
           proceeds
           out
           of
           the
           corruption
           of
           his
           heart

           now
           dispute
           or
           commit
           a

           of
           this
           nature
           .
           And
           I
           would
           that
           any
           voice
           durst
           be
           so
           bold

           desperate
           as
           cry
           ,
           Away
           with
           this
           Bill
           .
           The
           old
           Statute
           gives
           the
           penalty
           ,
           this
           new

           speedier
           means
           to
           levy
           it
           .
           I
           much
           marvel
           that
           men
           will
           or
           dare
           accuse

           Ministers
           to
           her
           Majesty
           without
           whom
           the
           Commonwealth
           cannot
           be
           .
           If
           this
           boldness
           go
           on
           ,
           they
           will
           accuse
           Judges
           ,
           and
           lastly
           the
           Seat
           of
           Justice
           it self
           .
           That
           all
           Justices
           should
           be
           thus
           generally
           accused
           ,
           this
           is
           meer
           Barbarism
           indeed
           .
           When
           her
           Majesty
           shall
           have
           understanding

           no
           content
           unto
           her
           ,
           and
           a
           scandal
           unto
           us
           all

           quick
           in

           Mr.

           said
           ,
           Mr.
           Glascock
           ,
           you
           speak
           from
           the
           matter
           and
           purpose
           ,
           and
           this
           that
           you
           have
           spoken
           you
           must
           justify
           .
        
         
           Mr.
           Martin
           said
           ,
           I
           am
           rather
           willing
           to
           speak
           ,
           in
           that
           I
           would
           willingly
           have
           an
           end
           of
           this
           matter
           .
           I
           think
           we
           all
           agree
           upon
           the
           substance
           ,
           that
           it
           is
           fit
           the
           Sabbath
           should
           be
           sanctified
           .
           The
           other
           matter
           which
           is
           the
           impediment
           ,
           I
           know
           it
           is
           a
           grief
           ,
           but
           I
           leave
           it
           as
           matter
           more
           fit
           to
           be
           decided
           at
           a
           Committee
           ,
           than
           here
           .
           And
           therefore
           for
           the
           Honour
           of
           the
           Queen
           and
           of
           her
           Government
           ,
           I
           wish
           it
           may
           be
           committed
           without
           further
           Argument
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Robert
             Wroth
          
           said
           ,
           I
           think
           the
           Office
           of
           Justice
           of
           Peace
           is
           too
           good
           a
           calling
           for
           him
           that
           exclaims
           against
           it
           ,
           and
           I
           think
           he
           'll
           ne're
           have
           the
           honour
           to
           have
           it
           .
           It
           were
           good
           they
           were
           named
           ,
           and
           that
           he
           told
           who
           they
           were
           :
           otherwise
           honest
           men
           will
           be
           loth
           to
           serve
           the
           Queen
           ,
           when
           they
           shall
           be
           slandered
           without
           proof
           .
           Therefore
           I
           would
           he
           might
           answer
           it
           at
           the
           Bar.
           And
           all
           said
           ,
           No
           ,
           No.
           
        
         
           Mr.
           Johnson
           said
           ,
           This
           Bill
           is
           an
           excellent
           good
           Bill
           ;
           And
           I
           have
           observed
           in
           all
           the

           with

           The
           Gentleman
           now
           protesteth
           he
           spake
           of
           Basket
           Justices
           ;
           I
           appeal
           to
           the
           whole
           House
           whether
           his
           definition
           were
           not
           general
           ,
           viz.
           A
           Justice
           of

           ,
           that

           a
           Dozen

           of
           penal
           Statutes
           .
           I
           think
           it
           is
           well
           known

           all

           unto
           the
           Kingdom
           .
           I
           have
           heard
           many
           say
           
           that
           the
           Navies
           are
           the
           Walls
           of
           the
           Kingdom
           ;
           but
           we
           suffer
           our
           Ships
           still
           to
           be
           destroyed
           ,
           some
           to
           be
           burnt
           ,
           and
           some
           to
           be
           sunk
           .
           We
           may
           compare
           our
           Seamen
           to
           Sheep
           feeding
           upon
           a
           fair
           Mountain
           ,
           in
           the
           midst
           whereof
           stands
           a
           little
           Grove
           full
           of
           Wolves
           :
           Why
           M
           r
           Speaker
           we
           are
           so
           plagued
           with
           them
           ,
           that
           they
           be
           so
           bold
           ,
           as
           now
           and
           then
           to
           take
           our
           Harvest-men
           tardy
           with
           Ambuscadoes
           .
           I
           speak
           with
           grief
           ,
           and
           it
           was
           reported
           unto
           me
           by
           a
           Scottish-man
           ,
           that
           Duke
           Allert
           and
           the
           Infanta
           should
           plainly
           publish
           ,
           that
           they
           would
           pull
           down
           so
           many
           of
           the
           Walls
           of
           England
           ,
           that
           they
           would
           easily
           make
           an
           Entry
           .
           And
           it
           had
           been
           better
           for
           Sea-Coast
           men
           to
           have
           given
           the
           Queen
           an
           hundred
           Subsidies
           that
           they
           had
           been
           long
           since
           supprest
           .
           My
           humble
           Motion
           is
           ,
           that
           it
           would
           please
           the
           House
           to
           enter
           into
           consideration
           of
           these
           things
           ,
           for
           the
           honour
           ,
           good
           and
           safety
           both
           of
           the
           Queen
           and
           of
           the
           Kingdom
           .

           I
           must
           needs
           shew
           unto
           this
           House
           (
           upon
           so
           good
           an
           occasion
           offered
           )
           how
           grievously
           the
           Town
           of
           Sandwich
           (
           for
           which
           I
           serve
           )
           is
           vexed
           and
           almost
           undone
           ,
           insomuch
           as
           in
           that
           Town
           there
           is
           neither
           Owner

           that
           hath

           Her

           continually
           at

           ensueth
           or
           cometh
           of
           it
           ,
           I
           never
           yet
           knew
           .
           If

           there
           should
           many
           and
           ofter
           Robberies
           be
           committed
           ,
           and
           the
           Justices
           look
           not
           to
           it
           ,
           this
           were
           but
           an
           ill
           part
           .
           Every
           day
           men
           come
           home
           ,
           their
           Goods
           and
           all
           they
           have

           might
           also
           be
           carried
           away

           they
           would
           do
           it
           .
           This
           would
           be
           amended
           and
           looked
           into
           .
           We
           had
           need
           to
           cherish
           this
           Subject
           ,
           I
           think
           him
           to
           be
           the
           best

           I
           like
           not
           these
           extravagant
           Speeches
           in
           the
           manner

           though
           I
           mislike

           They

           Houses
           being
           on
           Fire
           run
           out

           themselves
           of

           That
           that
           Cottage
           of

           ,
           the
           flourishing
           Estate
           whereof
           is
           a
           dishonour
           to
           our
           Nation
           ,
           should
           so
           much
           offend
           us
           ,
           when
           we
           never
           offer

           ,
           that
           it
           was
           easy

           cross
           a
           Merchants
           Book

           which

           if

           give
           the

           a

           thrust
           together
           ,
           perhaps
           he
           would
           intreat
           the

           This
           Debt
           is
           a
           sleeping
           Debt

           it

           but
           first
           the

           It

           I
           think

           according
           to
           his
           Cloth.
           When
           the
           old
           Suit
           is
           in
           the

           ,
           this
           to
           certain
           Commissioners
           by
           way
           of

           upon
           appeal

           there
           finally
           arbitrated

           But
           lest
           it
           may
           be
           thought
           for
           vexation
           ,

           We

           fittest
           for
           two
           reasons
           ;
           First
           because
           a
           Suit
           in
           Chancery
           is
           too
           long
           a
           course
           ,
           and
           the
           Merchant
           cannot
           endure
           delays
           ;
           Secondly
           ,
           because
           our
           Courts
           have
           not
           the
           knowledge
           of
           their
           Terms
           ,
           neither
           can
           they
           tell
           what
           to
           say
           upon
           their
           Causes
           which
           be
           secret
           in
           their
           Science
           ,
           proceeding
           out
           of
           their
           experience
           .

           old
           and
           new
           to
           your
           considerations
           ,
           wishing
           good
           success
           therein
           both
           for
           the
           comfort
           of
           the
           Merchants
           and
           performance
           of
           our
           duties

           Act
           touching
           Policies

           It
           was
           the
           good
           pleasure
           of
           this

           of

           Mr.
           Belgrave
           ,
           the
           scope
           and
           purpose
           of
           which
           Information
           pretendeth
           an
           abuse
           to
           be
           done
           to
           the
           High
           Court.
           The
           Gentleman
           himself
           was
           at
           the
           Committee
           ,
           and
           did
           acknowledge
           the
           substance
           of
           the
           suggestion
           ,
           but
           denied
           the
           circumstance
           .
           Some
           of
           the
           Committees
           censured
           it
           to
           be
           an
           enormous
           fault
           to
           invest
           himself
           (
           for
           so
           the
           words
           of
           the
           Information
           are

           in
           a
           blue
           Coat
           ,
           but
           others
           were
           of
           a
           contrary
           opinion
           ,
           because
           they
           were
           satisfied
           upon
           allegations
           alledged
           that
           it
           was
           done
           
             ad
             redimendam
             vexationem
          
           which
           had
           been
           offered
           to
           him
           ,
           and
           so
           he
           
           thought
           to
           right
           himself
           these
           wayes
           .
           Besides
           ,
           I
           am
           to
           inform
           the
           House
           ,
           that
           this
           Information
           was

           ,
           and
           therefore
           thought
           by
           the
           Committees
           to
           be
           some
           disgrace
           to
           the
           same
           .
           And
           because
           this
           Gentleman
           should
           not
           take

           of

           (
           as

           And

           against

           hath
           therefore
           caused

           please

           here
           ,
           that

           speak
           himself
           ,

           the
           House
           ,
           being
           of
           very
           great
           moment
           .
        
         
           Sir
           
             Edward
             Hobbie
          
           said
           ,
           I
           may
           resemble
           this
           to
           a
           saying
           of
           a
           Gentleman
           who
           told
           a
           story
           of
           a
           skilful
           Painter
           that
           painted
           a
           Tree
           in
           the
           Sea
           so
           lively
           ,
           &c.
           
           And
           the
           Judgment
           was
           ,
           
             O
             valde
             bene
             ,
             sed
             hic
             non
             erat
             locus
             :
          
           So
           I
           say
           ,
           this
           Bill
           is
           an
           Excellent
           Bill
           ,
           the
           matter
           foul
           ,
           the
           request
           and
           remedy
           good
           and
           honest
           ,
           but
           this
           is
           not
           our
           mean
           of
           redress
           .
           Her
           Majesty
           in
           the
           late
           Proclamation
           took
           notice
           thereof
           ,
           and
           no
           doubt
           she
           will
           redress
           it
           .
           And
           for
           us
           now
           to
           enter
           again
           on
           bringing
           or
           allowing
           Acts
           against
           Monopolies
           ,
           is
           to
           refuse
           her
           Majesties
           gracious
           favour
           ,
           and
           cleave
           to
           our
           own
           affections
           .
           I
           think
           therefore
           if
           we
           deal
           therein
           ,
           Petition
           will
           be
           our
           only
           course
           .
           This
           is
           a
           matter
           of
           Prerogative
           ,
           and
           this
           is
           no
           place
           .
        
         
           M
           r
           Fettiplace
           said
           ,
           I
           know
           her

           receiveth
           Yearly
           by
           Custom
           for
           the

           of

           Ordnance
           three
           thousand

           There
           be

           now
           usually
           transported
           ;
           The
           first
           a
           Falkon
           of
           the
           least
           weight
           and
           bore
           ;
           the
           second
           a
           Minion
           ,
           a
           little
           heavier
           and
           bigger
           ;
           the
           third
           a

           somewhat
           
           greater
           ;
           the
           fourth
           a
           Demi-Culverin
           being
           the
           greatest
           .
           Now
           M
           r
           Speaker
           ,
           they
           which
           transport
           Ordnance
           do
           transport
           in
           this
           manner
           ;
           If
           it
           be
           a
           Falkon
           ,
           she
           shall
           have
           the
           weight
           of
           a

           the
           reason
           hereof
           is
           ,
           because
           when

           beyond

           And
           it
           is
           now
           grown
           so
           common

           that
           if

           not

           unless

           in

           we

           but
           succour
           the
           Spaniards
           their
           Friends
           and
           our
           Enemies

           If
           the
           Queen
           would
           forbid
           the
           transportation
           of
           Ordnance
           but
           for
           seven
           Years
           ,
           it
           would
           breed
           such
           a
           scarcity
           to
           the
           Spaniard
           ,
           that
           we
           might
           have
           him
           even
           where
           we
           would
           :
           Some
           (
           no
           doubt
           )
           the
           Sea
           would
           devour
           ,
           some
           would
           be
           taken
           ,
           and
           the
           store
           which
           he
           now
           hath
           ,
           scattered
           ,
           and
           thereby
           his
           Force
           weakened
           .
           They
           have
           so
           much
           Iron
           in
           Spain
           out
           of
           England
           ,
           that
           they
           do
           ordinarily
           sell
           a
           hundred
           weight
           of
           Iron
           Ordnance
           for
           seven
           Duckets
           and
           a
           half
           Spanish
           .
           And
           if
           the
           Spaniard
           do
           make
           it
           a
           Capital
           matter
           but
           to
           transport
           a
           Horse
           or
           a
           Gennet
           ,
           much
           more
           ought
           we
           to
           have
           a
           special
           care
           herein
           ,
           when
           we
           shall
           Arm
           even
           our
           own
           Enemies
           against
           our selves
           .
           I
           think
           therefore
           to
           proceed
           by
           way
           of
           a
           Bill
           would
           savour
           of
           curbing
           her
           Majesties
           Prerogative
           .
           But
           to
           proceed
           by
           way
           of
           Petition
           ,
           it
           is
           a
           safe
           course
           and
           pleasing
           ,
           and
           we
           ought
           the
           rather
           to
           be
           induced
           thereto
           ,
           because
           already
           we
           have
           found
           it
           successful
           .
        
         
           M
           r
           Brown
           said
           ,
           There
           is
           a
           Law
           already
           in
           the
           point
           ,
           and
           that
           is
           in
           the
           thirty
           third
           Year
           of
           Henry
           the
           Eighth
           
             Cap.
             7.
          
           and
           in
           the
           second
           of
           Edward
           the
           Sixth
           
             Cap.
             37.
          
           which
           prohibits
           the
           transportation
           of
           Gun-Metal
           .
           And
           although
           Guns
           were
           not
           then
           made
           of
           Iron
           ,
           yet
           now
           they
           are
           ,
           and
           therefore
           perhaps
           you
           will
           say
           it
           is
           out
           of
           the
           Statute
           .
           But
           it
           was
           lately
           adjudged
           in
           Worlingtons
           and
           Simpsons
           Case
           to
           be
           clearly
           within
           the
           very
           Letter
           of
           that
           Law.
           And
           I
           am
           sure
           Guns
           be
           made
           of
           Gun-Metal
           ,
           and
           whosoever
           transporteth
           Guns
           ,
           transporteth
           Gun-Metal
           ;
           and
           it
           is
           within
           the
           danger
           of
           that
           Law.
           But
           that
           which
           I
           would
           move
           is
           only
           this
           ,
           that
           we
           might
           be
           Petitioners
           to
           her
           Majesty
           to
           revoke
           that
           Patent
           ,
           and
           then
           
             Currat
             Lex
             ,
             &c.
          
           
        
         
           Sir
           
             Walter
             Raleigh
          
           said
           ,
           I
           am
           sure
           heretofore
           one
           Ship
           of
           her
           Majesties
           was
           able
           to
           beat
           ten
           Spaniards
           ;
           but
           now
           by
           reason
           of
           our
           own
           Ordnance
           we
           are
           hardly
           matcht
           one
           to
           one
           .
           And
           if
           the
           Low-Countries
           should
           either
           be
           subdued
           by
           the
           Spaniard
           ,
           or
           yield
           unto
           him
           upon
           a
           Conditional
           Peace
           ,
           or
           shall
           join
           in
           Amity
           with
           the
           French
           as
           we
           see
           them
           daily
           inclining
           ,
           I
           say
           there
           is
           nothing
           doth
           so
           much
           threaten
           the
           conquest
           of
           the
           Kingdom
           as
           the
           transportation
           of
           Ordnance
           .
           And
           therefore
           I
           think
           it
           a
           good
           and
           speedy
           course
           to
           proceed
           by

           of

           ,
           lest
           we
           be
           cut
           off

           We
           take
           it
           for
           an
           use
           in

           Let
           us
           lay
           down
           our

           in
           the

           and

           by
           way
           of
           Petition
           ;
           And
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           her
           Majesty
           being
           truly
           informed
           of
           it
           ,
           will
           give
           her
           Royal
           Assent

           Secretary
           Herbert
           said
           ,
           The
           making
           of
           Armamentaria
           is
           a
           Regality
           belonging
           only
           to
           the
           power
           of
           the
           King
           and
           the
           Crown
           of
           England
           ,
           and
           therefore
           no
           man
           can
           either
           cast
           or
           transport
           without
           Licence
           .
           It
           stood
           perhaps
           with
           the
           Policy
           of
           former
           times
           to
           suffer
           transportation
           ,
           but
           as
           the
           times
           alter
           ,
           so
           doth
           the
           Government
           .
           And
           we
           doubt
           it
           is
           now
           very
           hurtful
           and
           prejudicial
           to
           the
           State
           ;
           and
           therefore
           I
           am
           of
           opinion
           ,
           that
           it
           is
           very
           fit
           this
           transportation
           should
           be
           stayed
           ;
           and
           I
           concur
           only
           with
           them
           which
           would
           have
           it
           by
           way
           of
           Petition
           ,
           and
           not
           by
           Bill
           .

           of
           Lincolns-Inn
           said
           ,
           I
           know
           the
           Authority
           of
           the
           Worthy
           Counsellor
           that
           last
           spake
           will
           incline
           you
           to
           yield
           to
           this
           Objection
           ;
           Yet
           notwithstanding
           I
           beseech
           you
           suppose
           him
           to
           be
           a

           of
           my

           or
           me
           to

           of
           his
           sort
           ,
           so
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           our
           persons
           being
           equalized
           ,
           the
           matter
           will
           soon
           be
           decided
           .
           Where
           he
           saith
           ,
           transportation
           is

           sweetly
           her

           apprehends
           our

           I

           we
           should
           give
           her

           it
           will
           move
           the

           ,
           that
           I
           wholly
           dislike

           only
           do
           approve
           our

           Speaker
           ,
           It
           is
           doubted
           by
           some
           that
           this
           Bill
           will
           not
           pass
           by
           reason
           of
           the
           sudden
           ending
           of
           the
           Parliament
           ;
           for
           that
           ,
           I
           think
           if
           we
           give
           not
           too
           much
           stop
           to
           private
           Bills
           ,
           this
           Bill
           would
           quickly
           pass
           .
           And
           I
           see
           no
           reason
           but
           we
           may
           well
           proceed
           by
           Bill
           ,
           and
           not
           touch
           her
           Majesties
           Prerogative
           ;
           for
           her
           Majesty
           is
           not
           more
           careful
           and
           watchful
           of
           her
           Prerogative
           than
           the
           noble
           Princes
           of
           Famous
           Memory
           King
           Henry
           the
           Eighth
           her
           Father

           and
           King
           Edward
           the
           Sixth
           her
           Brother
           were
           .
           Then
           there
           was
           no
           doubt
           or
           mention

           :
           And
           therefore
           I
           think
           our
           surest
           and
           soundest
           course
           is
           by
           way
           of

           wish

           should
           deal
           in
           such
           manner

           have
           our

           ;
           and
           that
           I
           think

           we
           shall
           sooner
           obtain
           in

           unto

           We
           must

           and
           her

           will
           not

           forced

           It
           is
           not
           good
           to
           utter
           things
           
           suddenly
           in
           great
           matters
           .
           Our
           dispute

           seem
           to
           have
           this
           end

           either
           to
           incur
           the
           dangers
           of
           our

           methinks
           in
           reason
           a
           Conference
           were
           good
           to
           examine
           the
           Cause
           ,

           If
           I
           knew
           or
           did
           think
           that

           wrong
           were
           offered

           I
           would
           rather
           be
           a
           Petitioner
           for
           this
           Gentleman
           to
           him
           ,
           than
           I
           would
           be
           a
           Protector
           of
           him
           against
           him

           I
           knew

           and
           that
           it
           pleased
           his
           Honour
           to
           Answer
           him

           and
           that
           he
           offered
           to
           follow
           his
           Honour
           in
           that
           sort
           as
           is
           fitting

           a
           Gentleman
           of
           his
           worth

           and
           rather
           his
           Honour

           This
           I
           take
           it
           may
           satisfie
           the

           part
           of

           For
           the
           second
           ,
           which
           is
           deceiving
           of
           the
           Burgesses
           ,
           I

           They
           were

           worthy
           to

           I
           know

           For

           much
           ,
           that
           if
           we
           should

           I

           this
           Law
           fit

           which

           France
           offered
           the
           Queen
           to

           Ireland

           if

           The

           man
           and

           The
           Spaniard

           had
           we

           much

           will
           not

           English
           man

           neither

           And
           therefore
           I
           think
           the
           best
           course
           is

           liberty
           ,
           and
           leave
           every
           man
           free
           ,
           which
           is
           the
           desire
           of
           a
           true
           English
           man.
           
        
         
           Mr.
           Secretary
           Cecill
           said
           ,
           I
           do
           not

           in
           the
           Country

           I
           am
           not

           with
           the
           Plough
           :
           But
           I
           think
           that
           whosoever
           doth
           not
           maintain
           the
           Plough

           destroys
           this
           Kingdom
           .
           There
           were
           the
           last
           Parliament
           great
           Arguments
           in
           this
           point
           ;
           and
           after
           a
           deliberate
           disputation
           ,
           the
           passage
           of
           this
           Bill
           concluded
           .
           My
           Motion
           therefore
           shall
           be
           ,
           that
           this
           Law
           may
           not

           and

           Say
           that
           a
           Glut
           of
           Corn

           have
           we
           not

           remedy

           transportation

           which

           Mr.

           I
           have
           observed
           it
           ,
           that
           ever
           this
           Parliament
           ,
           the
           Noes
           upon
           division
           of
           the
           House
           have
           carried
           it
           .
           The
           reason
           whereof
           as
           I
           conceive
           is
           ,
           because
           divers
           are
           loth
           to
           go
           forth
           for
           losing
           of
           their
           places
           ,
           and
           many
           that
           cry
           I
           ,
           will
           sit
           still
           with
           the
           No.
           I
           therefore
           do
           but
           move
           this
           unto
           the

           all
           those
           that
           have

           I

           I

           go
           forth

           and
           for
           my
           part
           (
           said
           he
           )
           I
           'le

           Sir
           
             Walter
             Raleigh
          
           rose
           up
           to
           Answer
           him
           ;
           but
           Mr.

           Sir

           and
           all
           the
           House
           seeing
           them
           ,
           rose
           in
           a
           hurry
           to
           go
           forth
           ,
           and
           did
           not
           hear
           him

           Whereupon
           himself
           and
           Mr.
           Secretary
           ,
           it
           seemed
           ,
           being
           of
           the
           No's
           ,
           took
           some
           displeasure
           ,
           as
           may
           appear
           by
           the
           Speeches
           after

           The
           House
           being
           divided
           upon
           Mr.
           Dormers
           Proviso
           aforesaid
           ,
           the
           I
           ,
           I
           ,
           I.
           were
           a
           hundred
           seventy
           six
           ,
           the
           Noes
           a
           hundred
           thirty
           four
           ;
           so
           that
           the
           I
           ,
           I
           ,
           I.
           got
           it
           by
           forty
           four
           Voices
           .
        
         
           Now
           after
           the
           House
           was
           set
           quiet
           ,
        
         
           Mr.
           Secretary
           〈◊〉
           said
           ,
           I
           am
           glad
           to
           see
           the
           Parliament
           so
           full
           ,
           which
           towards
           the
           end
           used
           to
           grow
           thin
           ;
           And
           therefore
           I
           think
           it
           convenient
           we
           agree
           upon
           some
           good
           Orders
           .
           The
           Reputation
           of
           this
           House
           hath
           ever
           been
           religiously
           maintained
           by
           Order
           and
           Government
           ,
           but
           now
           Error
           hath
           so
           crept
           in
           amongst
           us
           ,
           that
           we
           know
           not
           what
           is
           Order
           and
           what
           is
           disorder
           .
           The
           Gentleman
           that
           last
           spake
           (
           meaning
           Mr.
           Martin
           )
           first
           brake
           Order
           ;
           for
           after
           the
           question
           put
           and
           the
           House
           agreed
           to
           be
           divided
           ,
           he
           spake
           perswadingly
           to
           draw
           those
           out
           of
           the
           House
           which
           perhaps
           meant
           it
           not
           .
           Besides
           ,
           he
           laid
           an
           imputation
           upon
           the
           House
           ,
           that
           according
           to
           their
           Consciences
           men
           would
           not
           so
           much
           as
           remove
           out
           of
           their
           place
           :
           But
           I
           think
           there
           is
           no
           man
           here
           so
           fantastical
           ,
           that
           though
           they
           be
           for
           the
           Bill
           ,
           yet
           for
           their
           places
           sake
           ,
           they
           will
           not
           alter
           their
           rooms
           .
           For
           this
           House
           is
           a
           House
           of
           Gravity
           ,
           Conscience
           and
           Religion
           .
           I
           think
           it
           therefore
           fit
           he
           should
           Answer
           this
           imputation
           at
           the
           Bar.
           We
           have
           all
           this
           Parliament
           been
           against
           Monopolies
           ,
           now
           we
           our selves
           protect
           one
           :
           But
           I
           see
           that
           men
           which
           have
           desired
           to
           be
           popular
           without
           the
           House
           for
           speaking
           against
           Monopolies
           ,
           do
           also
           labour
           to
           be
           private
           within
           .
           But
           that
           I
           regard
           not
           .
           This
           I
           know
           ,
           that
           good
           sums
           of
           money
           have
           been
           offered
           for
           the
           furtherance
           of
           this
           Proviso
           ;
           but
           now
           it
           is
           past
           .
           I
           would
           now
           move
           you
           ,
           that
           because
           we
           have
           spent
           some
           superfluous
           time
           in
           this
           Division
           ,
           and
           because
           the
           affairs
           of
           this
           Parliament
           cannot
           possibly
           be
           dispatcht
           so
           soon
           as
           the
           Parliament
           must
           end
           ,
           because
           of
           the
           performance
           of
           that
           gift
           which
           we
           have
           given
           unto
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           which
           is
           nothing
           if
           it
           come
           not
           in
           due
           time
           ,
           therefore
           that
           the
           House
           would
           be
           pleased
           after
           this
           day
           to
           sit
           in
           the
           Afternoons
           ,
           for
           we
           consume
           our
           time
           now
           in
           unnecessary
           disputations
           .
        
         
           Mr.
           Comptroller
           said
           ,
           I
           think
           that
           notwithstanding
           any
           thing
           that
           hath
           been
           last
           said
           ,
           howsoever
           our
           Orders
           have
           been
           heretofore
           broken
           ,
           yet
           the
           Gentleman
           that
           spake
           ,
           Mr.
           Martin
           ,
           brake
           no
           Order
           of
           this
           House
           by
           speaking
           ,
           for
           the
           House
           favoured
           him
           with
           silence
           ,
           and
           therefore
           admitted
           to
           him
           liberty
           of
           Speech
           .
           That
           hi
           Speech
           was
           neither
           perswasive
           or
           offered
           any
           imputation
           to
           this
           House
           ,
           I
           neither
           perceive
           it
           nor
           conceive
           it
           so
           ;
           for
           it
           was
           only
           a
           Caution
           to
           the
           House
           ,
           that
           former
           Orders
           were
           broken
           ,
           and
           therefore

           I
           thought
           I
           had
           deserved

           have
           been
           heard
           to
           speak
           as
           well
           as
           he
           that
           spake
           before
           the
           division
           of
           the
           House
           ;
           And
           in
           that
           I
           offered
           to
           speak
           and
           was
           not
           heard
           ,
           I
           had
           wrong
           .
           For
           him
           that
           last
           spake
           ,
           he
           spake
           out
           of
           Honour
           and
           not
           out

           Judgment
           .
           Notwithstanding
           ,
           I
           think
           it
           a
           Monopoly
           ,
           and
           the
           Speech
           to
           be
           both
           perswasion
           ,
           and
           to
           lay
           a
           great
           imputation
           upon

           the
           reason
           of
           this

           was
           to

           is
           a
           Consuls

           may
           remove
           him

           but
           I
           take
           great
           difference

           than
           Mr.
           Speaker

           most
           necessary

           (
           who
           was
           desired
           to

           the
           same
           into
           the
           House

           the
           effect
           of
           it
           was
           ,
           that
           every
           man

           refine
           the
           same

           do
           the
           like

           Mr.
           Fettiplare
           shewed
           ,
           That
           the
           Bill
           was
           unprofitable
           and
           not
           good
           for
           divers
           reasons
           .
           First
           it
           was
           too
           general
           ,
           because
           it
           speaketh
           as
           well
           of
           Arts
           invented
           ,
           as
           to
           be
           invented
           .
           Secondly
           ,
           the
           Bill
           sheweth
           not
           that
           they
           will
           be
           profitable
           for
           the
           Commonwealth
           ;
           whatsoever
           they
           be
           ,
           this
           Bill
           alloweth
           .
           For
           divers
           Arts
           have
           been
           devised
           in
           London
           ,
           that
           that
           shall
           be
           wrought
           with
           one
           man
           ,
           which
           would
           not
           heretofore
           be
           done
           with
           forty
           :
           This
           is
           unprofitable
           ,
           because
           it
           setteth
           not
           the
           poor
           and
           many
           hands
           on
           work
           .
           Thirdly
           ,
           it
           will
           breed
           confusion
           ;
           because
           if
           but
           a
           little
           addition
           be
           made
           by
           another
           ,
           a
           new
           Licence
           is
           granted
           to
           this
           man
           ;
           And
           now
           if
           to
           that
           addition
           another
           shall
           add
           ,
           that
           will
           be
           
             in
             infinitum
          
           ,
           and
           so
           confusion
           .
           Whereupon
           he
           concluded
           ,
           that
           he
           for
           his
           part
           thought
           fit
           the
           Bill
           should
           be
           quash'd
           ,
           and
           divers
           cried
           ,
           Away
           with
           it
           .
        
         
           Another
           said
           ,
           I
           wish
           that
           the
           Bill
           might
           be
           read
           again
           and
           considered
           because
           we
           allowed
           of
           these
           kind
           of
           Patents
           once
           this
           Parliament
           ,
           namely
           in
           the
           Licence
           for
           making
           Tinn
           by
           Mills
           out
           of
           the
           Old
           Rubbish
           in
           Cornwall
           ,
           upon
           the
           motion
           of
           Sir
           
             Walter
             Raleigh
          
           ;
           And
           this
           Bill
           desireth
           no
           more
           in
           effect
           .
           Next
           for
           the
           incertainty
           ,
           upon
           the
           consideration
           of
           the
           Bill
           by
           some
           few
           Committees
           the
           same
           might
           be
           amended
           .
           Besides
           ,
           he
           that
           hath
           invented
           any
           Art
           or
           Trade
           ,
           it
           is
           reason
           he
           should
           have
           some
           priviledge
           ,
           because
           it
           would
           be
           an
           incouragement
           to
           others
           ,
           and
           
             Nemo
             naseitur
             Artisex
          
           .
           No
           man
           would
           come
           to
           that
           perfection
           upon
           the
           first
           knowledge
           of
           it
           ,
           as
           being
           taught
           by
           the
           first
           Inventor
           for
           a
           season
           .
           Also
           the
           proposition
           of
           the
           Gentleman
           that
           last
           spake
           ,
           did
           not
           hold
           in
           all
           Arts
           ,
           that
           it
           is
           unprofitable
           that
           the
           work
           of
           many
           should
           be
           done
           by
           one

           for
           it
           is

           the

           it

           it
           appear

           that
           the
           Speech
           was

             improper

           it

           the

           sometimes
           the

           the

           two
           imputations
           happen
           to
           the
           State
           ,
           which
           Wisdom
           wills
           us
           both
           to
           forsee
           and
           shun
           :
           The
           first
           an
           Infamy
           to
           our
           Ministers
           ,
           that
           our
           Adversaries
           may
           say
           ,
           this
           is
           the
           fruit
           of
           your
           labour
           to
           have
           Preached
           away
           your
           Audience
           out
           of
           the
           Church
           ;
           The
           second
           no
           less
           but
           rather
           a
           greater
           imputation
           upon
           our
           Archbisnops
           and
           other
           Ecclesiastical
           Governours
           ,
           that
           they
           be
           either
           remiss
           in
           their
           Authority
           ,
           or
           else
           that
           their
           Prerogative
           hath
           not
           so
           much
           power
           as
           a
           twelve
           peny
           Fine
           .
           And
           doubtless
           these
           imputations
           cannot
           be
           avoided
           ,
           if
           we
           give
           the
           Jesuits
           such
           head
           ,
           scope
           and
           comfort
           as
           they
           in
           their
           Writings
           do
           greedily
           apprehend
           .
           I
           do
           ,
           M
           r
           Speaker
           ,
           conceive
           great
           difference
           betwixt
           
             primo
             Eliz.
          
           when
           time
           was
           ,
           and
           this
           Law
           of
           44
           Eliz.
           as
           now
           it
           is
           .
           Then
           the
           People
           were
           newly
           taken
           from
           Massing
           and
           Superstition
           ;
           Now
           they
           are
           planted
           in
           truth
           ,
           and
           rooted
           in
           Religion
           .
           The
           light
           did
           then
           scarce
           appear
           unto
           them
           ,
           which
           now
           shineth
           with
           glorious
           Beams
           upon
           our
           Teachers
           and
           Ecclesiastical
           Judges
           .
           And
           as
           the
           malice
           of
           the
           Adversary
           was
           only
           against
           them
           in
           the
           beginning
           ,
           so
           is
           it
           stretcht
           forth
           to
           put
           down
           ,
           and
           flameth
           like
           a
           consuming
           Fire
           to
           devour
           our
           Doctrine
           .
           These
           reasons
           aforesaid
           were
           the
           Ground-work
           of
           Osorius's
           Foundation
           in
           his
           Epistle
           unto
           her
           Majesty
           ,
           to
           give
           advantage
           to
           speak
           evil
           .
           I
           will
           give
           but
           a
           reason
           or
           two
           more
           and
           so
           an
           end
           .
           Suppose
           that
           a
           neglector
           of
           Church-Service
           comes
           to
           the
           Sessions
           there
           to
           be
           Examined
           ,
           alledging
           an
           excuse
           ;
           many
           businesses
           so
           concern
           the
           doer
           not
           to
           be
           known
           ,
           that
           to
           speak
           truth
           would
           be
           his
           undoing
           ,
           and
           to
           speak
           untruth
           would
           be
           a
           wound
           unto
           his
           Conscience
           ;
           And
           to
           say
           his
           business
           ,
           were
           a
           meer
           mockery
           ;
           and
           to
           say
           an
           untruth
           ,
           an
           apparent
           danger
           .
           If
           this
           Law
           may
           stand
           for
           a
           Law
           ,
           methinks
           I
           foresee
           what
           breach
           of
           Charity
           will
           happen
           .
           Say
           there
           be
           forty
           in
           a
           Town
           absent
           ,
           the
           Church-Warden
           presents
           some
           and
           not
           others
           :
           It
           will
           be
           objected
           unto
           him
           ,
           wherefore
           should
           I
           be
           presented
           and
           not
           he
           ?
           why
           my
           Wife
           ,
           my
           Son
           ,
           my
           Servant
           ,
           my
           Friend
           ,
           not
           his
           ,
           &c.
           
           Will
           not
           this
           be
           a
           great
           breach
           to
           Unity
           and
           Peace
           ?
           Just
           prosecution
           will
           be
           infinitely
           cumbersome
           ,
           and
           partial
           connivance
           subject
           to
           quarrel
           .
           Notwithstanding
           this
           Statute
           we
           leave
           power
           to
           the
           Ecclesiastical
           Judge
           whose
           course
           is
           to
           proceed
           to
           Excommunication
           ,
           and
           so
           an
           
             Excommunicato
             capiendo
          
           must
           be
           had
           .
           This
           is
           as
           great
           a
           charge
           as
           the
           Indictment
           in

           In
           this
           Statute
           a
           Witness
           or
           two
           must
           be
           brought
           to
           the
           Sessions
           ,
           he
           must
           be
           presented
           to
           the
           Grand
           Jury
           and
           so
           Indicted
           ;
           This
           will
           cost
           five
           shillings
           ,
           a
           noble
           or
           ten
           shillings
           ,
           which
           is
           as
           much
           as
           the

           in
           the
           first
           Statute

           So
           because
           this
           Bill
           is
           slanderous
           to

           slanderous
           to
           the

           ,
           repugnant

             Crambe
             recocta

           I
           humbly
           pray
           it
           may
           receive
           the

           I
           shall
           speak
           upon
           great
           disadvantage

           That

           both
           absurd

           we
           were

           The
           second
           ,
           That
           it
           was
           an

           I
           am
           so
           far
           from
           blaming
           their
           Government

           that
           I
           renounce
           that
           Position

           I
           am
           very
           sorry

           that
           the
           strength

           stretcheth
           not
           so
           far
           as
           I

           But
           methinks
           this
           Law
           should
           rather
           be

           fervent
           in
           Religion
           ,
           that
           we
           desire
           also
           that
           others

           leave
           to
           wipe
           away
           a
           grievance
           ,
           which
           it
           seems

           made
           a
           Protestation
           ,
           that
           he

           whereof
           was

           any
           man

           eight
           times

           sufficient
           dispensation
           .
           This
           was
           utterly
           misliked

           yet
           divers

           joined

           Whereupon
           the
           House
           was
           divided
           ,
           and
           upon

           Then
           it
           was
           put

           for

           That
           the

           some
           Ambiguities
           and
           Equivocations

           The
           Proviso
           newly
           added
           being
           a
           plain
           Toleration
           from
           coming
           to
           Church
           ;
           and
           that
           the
           Parson

           the

           thrice
           together

           because
           the
           truth
           could
           not
           be
           discerned
           ,
           the

           was
           again
           divided

           and
           six
           .
           So
           they
           got
           it
           by
           one
           Voice
           ,
           and

           I
           ,
           I
           ,
           I

           make
           it
           even
           .
           And
           then
           it
           grew
           to
           a
           question
           ,
           whether
           he
           had

           To

           ,
           which
           it
           had

           if
           he
           had

           but
           I
           think
           we
           had
           need
           of
           Physicians

           and
           cool
           our
           heats
           and
           humours
           ,
           not
           fitting
           a
           Court
           of
           Parliament
           ;
           for
           it
           is
           a
           most
           intolerable
           
           disorder
           .
           I
           think
           the
           offence
           is
           a
           hainous
           offence
           ,
           both
           against
           God
           ,
           and
           this
           Assembly
           .
           For
           the
           first
           ,
           in
           that
           every
           man
           is
           to
           go
           according
           to
           his
           Conscience
           and
           not
           by
           compulsion
           ;
           And
           for
           the
           other
           Gentleman
           Sir
           
             Walter
             Raleigh
          
           ,
           that
           said
           he
           had
           often
           done
           the
           like
           ,
           I
           think
           he
           may
           be
           ashamed
           of
           it
           ;
           for
           large
           is
           his
           Conscience
           ,
           if
           in
           a
           matter
           of
           so
           great
           consequence
           he

           And
           I
           think
           it
           so
           hainous
           ,
           that
           he
           deserves
