MASTER GRIMSTON HIS SPEECH IN THE house of Commons, Concerning the distempers between the King and both Houses of Parliament.  
Mr. Speaker,  
I would fain bring one stone to our building now in hand, and it is but a caveat to the Master builders, to beware, of those who hinder the work, And pull down by night, what is built up by day.  
Master Speaker 
 There are that speak loudly to the King, And in agitating of all matters, seem very tender of him, but substances, and semblances, essences, and appearances, are opposite: Multa videntur quae non sunt, these would make us believe, that our redressing of some greiveances, is the pulling out of some flowers from the crown, and hereby they cast main and Intricating Doubts, where with to retard and perplex our proceedings, and to lay an ill-favoured imputation upon us, as if we were regardless of our Gracious sovereign, and these good men, the only Battresses of his Royalty: by this they endeavour to endear themselves to the King, for their own advancement, to have him guided by their own counsels, and to take off his affection from his best, and most loyal Subjects, Assembled in Parliament.  
Master Speaker, The King and his Subjects are Relatives, and we know that in logic, ne lato sublato tollaitur Correlatum, they that disjoint the King and his People, do neither better nor worse, but do their utmost (to unking him.  
Master Speaker, the King is the Parent, the Husband solemparely espoused at his Coronation, the head of the republic, as it is with the natural parent, Husband and head: So it is with the public, The natural parent bestoweth on his child, protection and love, with all his fruits: the Child returneth him filial reverence with all due respects: And he that laboureth to break this intercourse, by possessing the parent with an evil opinion of the Child, is equally an enemy to both.  
There is a sweet echo of conjugal affections between the married, and be that shall go about to interrupt it, is a hater of them both, and a subverter of their Family.  
In the natural body, such is the connexion between it and the Head, that a separation is destructive to both, whereas otherwise, the head in the body, being the seat of the vitals, and the brain in the head, of the animal Spirits, reciprocally communicating preserve the whole: Our gracious sovereign is the common Parent, husband, & head, si Calumniemus frangimur: If therefore there shall be any found to be as undermining pioneers envying to disaffect our parent to us, to divorce us from this our husband, to divide us from our Head.  
My just motion is, that upon a watchful discovery, whereon I would have every good man's intent, they may receive the extremity of severety as they will deserve, and if any of them shall prove member of this house, that the furnace may be heated, ten times hotter, for betraying the trust reposed in them, by their County that sent them hither.
