Mr. PYM, His Speech in Parliament on Saturday the 190 February, concerning the passing of the Bill in the Commons House, for the present Pressing of 15000. men for Ireland.  
Mr. SPEAKER,  
THe endeavours and proceed of this Honourable House, for the further supply and aid of Ireland, is now brought to a happy Period and conclusion, His Majesty's most gracious expressions, containing his Royal and Princely intentions therein hath given much life and vigour to our perfecting the same, I persuade myself, there is no man of what degree or dignity soever he be of, but will be ready to spend his life and fortunes in so just and pious a cause, fight under the Banners of so indulgent and careful a King, for the welfare and peace of his good people; The cause being God, and their Prince, God's Vicegerent in earth, to vindicate his true Religion, and his own honour and Royal dignity in subduing such Rebellious and obstinate miscreants, more cruel and savage in their traitorous and rebellious Actions, than no stories of the most Heathenish and tyrannical wars in the world, can produce the like Cruelties against the Saints and servants of God, professing his true and pure Worship, agreeable to his Word.  

Mr. SPEAKER,  
I need not now reiterate the causes that have hindered from time to time our proceed in these affairs, and the Authors of the same, Prelates and such persons as are altogether devoted to the Romish Religion; for it is already made manifest to all men that are not wilfully blind, or obstinately refuse to take notice thereof, The distractions and distempers by them and their adherents, produced and raised in this State, hath been our chiefest endeavours to avoid and remove; thereby to secure the King, and this his Kingdom of England from their malicious plots and designs, daily practised and agitated by them against the same; We have happily at last, through the mercy of God, the wisdom of his Majesty, and of his High Court of Parliament, provided for the safety and defence of the Kingdom, by the last Act for the settling the Militia of the Kingdom, and 〈◊〉 also provided against future lets and impediments in our proceed by Prelatical bishop, and their favourers, in removing their votes, and sitting in the House of Peers, have provided against future plots and practices by Papists and Recusants, by passing the Act for their disarming and confinement to places of safe custody, distant from their places of habitation, Also endeavoured the removal of Popish Lords out of the House of Peers, by all which distractions of this State, are some what appeased and quieted, a fair way made for ou● proceed to the Trial and punishment of delinquents, and establishing Religion, and such a Government in the Church, as may agree with the Word of God ● And now have ●ime to think and consider of the distressed estate of the Protestants in Ireland, and to relieve them with timely aid and assistance before it be too late. To which purpose we have now happily concluded of the Bill for the Pressing of men, both for sea and land, for that service.   

Mr. SPEAKER,  
Sat hence we have so fare proceeded in this Business, I conceive it necessary to protract no further time in Expediting the same, By sending it to the Lords for their Assert thereunto, and presently put the same in execution; We see how dangerous delay hath proved to that Kingdom, and not only to that, but this State also; which hath been occasioned by the causes before Expressed.   

Mr. SPEAKER,  
I conceive under favour of this Honourable House, that if about 15000. men for Hard-service, be presently ●ewied, and transported under Command of able and experienced Officers, well-affected and grounded in the Protestant Religion, with a Convenient force likewise of Seamen, well shipped under Command also of good and Skilful Officers for the Guard of the Irish Seas, and the several Ports and Havens of that Kingdom, The same may again in short time be reduced to due obedience and subjection to his Majesty, and the Crown of England, We see nothing but the sword must decide the Controversy, The unreasonableness and Impudency of their Demands Imports so much, They know the same, nay not one particular thereof can be granted neither with safety nor honour to his Majesty and his Kingdoms; therefore must they submit to the King, or altogether trust to the merits of their cause, which to the conceivance of all men of sound and right judgements, well settled in the true Religion, deserveth nothing but shame and Confusion, which God grant accordingly to all such as shall still persist in their Traitorous and rebellious Actions; and that victory and prosperity may Crown the head of our Gracious Sovereign, and peace and tranquillity be evermore to the Kingdoms and Dominions over whom he is supreme head and Governor.   
FINIS.
