A WORTHY SPEECH SPOKEN In the Honourable House of Commons, by john Pym Esquire.  
Mr. SPEAKER,  
THe Distempers of this Kingdom are well known, they need not Repetition; for though we have good Laws, yet they want their Executioner, if they be executed it is in a wrong sense: therefore I shall endeavour to apply a Remedy to the Breaches that are made, and to that end I shall discover first the quality of the Disease.  

I. There is a design to alter Law and Religion, the parties that effect this are Papists, who are obliged by a Maxim in their Doctrine, that they are not able to maintain their Religion, but to extirpate all others.  
II. The second is our Hierarchy, which cannot mount to the hight they aim at, without the breach of Law.  
To which Religion necessarily joins, that if the one the other falls.  
III. Agents and Pensioners to foreign State, who see we cannot comply with them, if we maintain the Religion established with Us, contrary to theirs, here we intent the Spanish White-gold works, which are of most effect for Earthly Favourites, as for petty promotion, not Conscience.  
And such are our Judges Spiritual and Temporal, such are also our Counsellors of State.  
All these settled in their contrivements, that aim at one end, and to this purpose they walk on four feet, discountenancing of Preachers, and men virtuous for Religion, persecuted under the Law of purity.  
The second is the discountenancing of Preachers, of contrary dispositions.  
Thirdly, The negotiating with the Faction of Rome, by frequent preaching, and instruction to preach of the absolute Monarchy of Kings, here followeth several Heads.   
THe political interpretation of the Law to serve the Times, and this to impose Taxes with the Colour of Law.  
A Judge said it, when a Habeas Corpus was paid for by keeping the King in continual want, that He may seek to their Counsels for Relief; to this purpose they keep the Parliament in Distaste that their Council might be taken. The King himself is brought to this, like a woman that useth herself to poison, when she might Eat good Meat, Search the Chronicles, and we shall see no King ever used Parliaments that was brought to this want, Arbitrary Proceed in Courts of Justice, we have Law left to the Conscience of a single man, all Courts are now of Conscience.  
Plotters to enforce a war between France and Us, that when we had well wearied one another, we might be brought to what scorn they pleased, the Partition wall is only Unity, the punishing of Parliament men to affright them from speaking what we think, one was committed for not delivering up the Petitions of the House, a Declaration which slandereth our Proceed, as full of Lies as Levites, who would have the first Ground to be our Example, and Papists under appearance to the King, his best Subjects; for they Contribute money to the wars, which the Protestants will not do.  
The other is the Military, by getting places of Importance into the Papists hands, as who were Commanders in the late Army, but they who were strong in Arms, but they to whom their Arms is delivered contrary to the Statute.  
Their endeavours are to bring in strangers to billite upon us.  
A Letter sent from Mr. Secretary Nicholas to the House of Commons, July 12.  
THere came Letters to the House of Commons from Mr. Secretary Nicholas at York, by Order from his Majesty in answer to a Letter of both Houses to His Majesty, desiring his consent for the taking of some Arms out of the Tower, to be sent to Munster, but his Majesty would not Consent thereto, saying that they had taken one part of his Arms from him by force, and then Petition him to deliver up the other. Both Houses taking into consideration the said Letter, Ordered, that there should be such Arms aken, as should be found needful for the present occasions, and to be disposed of by the Authority of Parliament.  
Both houses Ordered also, that there should be these humble Motions presented to his Majesty. 1. That the Justice of Parliament may pass upon all Delinquents.  
2. That the general pardon offered by your Majesty may he granted with such exceptions, as shall be advised by both houses of Parliament.  

The Lords and Commons in Parliament do declare, That if any Messenger shall be colour of any Command from his Majesty, or Warrant under his Majesty's hand, arrest, take, or carry away any of His Majesty's Subjects▪ to any place whats●ever contrary to their Wills, Chat it is both against the Laws of the Land, and the Liberties of the Subjects.   

Ordered that this be printed and published.
