Mr. Grim&s;tons Speech, IN The Hou&s;e of Commons, concerning the di&s;tempers between the King, and both Hou|&s;es of Parliament.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>Ma&s;ter Speaker,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>I Would fain bring one &s;tone to our building now in hand and it is but a caveat to the Ma&s;ter builders, to be|ware of tho&s;e who hinder the worke, and pull down by night, what is built up by day.</P>
<P><HI>Ma&s;ter Speaker,</HI> there are that &s;peake loudly to the King, and in agitating of all matters, &s;eem very tender of him, but &s;ub&s;tances, and &s;emblances, e&s;&s;ences, and apparences, are oppo&s;ite: <HI>Multa Videntur quae non &s;unt,</HI> the&s;e would make us believe, that our redre&s;&s;ing of &s;ome grievances, is the pul|ling out of &s;ome flowers from the Crown, and hereby they ca&s;t maine and intricate doubts, wherewith to retard and perplex our proceedings, and to lay an ill favoured imputa|tion upon us, as if we were regardle&s;&s;e of our Gracious So|veraign,
<PB N="2" REF="3">
and the&s;e good men, the onely Battre&s;&s;es of his Royalty: by this they endeavour to endeare them&s;elves to the King, for their own advance|ment, to have him guided by their own Coun|cels, and to take off his affection from his be&s;t, and mo&s;t Loyall Subjects, A&s;&s;embled in Parlia|ment.</P>
<P>Ma&s;ter Speaker, The King and his Subjects are Relatives, and we know that in Logicke; <HI>ne lato &s;ublato tollatur Correlatum,</HI> they that disjoynt the King and his People, doe neither better nor wor&s;e but doe their utmo&s;t, to un-King him.</P>
<P>M. Speaker, The King is the Parentthe Husband &s;olemnly e&s;pou&s;ed at his Coronation, the head of the Republike, as it is with the natural parent, Hus|band and Head: So it is with the publike: the naturall parent be&s;toweth on his Child, protecti|on and love, with all his fruites: the Child return|eth him filiall reverence with all due re&s;pects, and he that laboureth to breake this intercour&s;e, by po&s;&s;e&s;&s;eing the parent with an evill opinion of the Child, is equally an enemy to both.</P>
<P>There is a &s;weet eccho of conjugall affections
<PB N="3" REF="3">
between the married, and he that &s;hall go about to interrupt it, is a hater of them both, and a &s;ubverter of their Family.</P>
<P>In the naturall body, &s;uch is the connexion be|tween it and the Head, that a &s;eparation is de&s;truc|tive to both, where as otherwi&s;e, the head in the body, being the &s;eate of the vitalls, and the brain in the Head, of the Animall Spirits, reciprocally communicating pre&s;erve the whole: Our grati|ous Soveraigne is the common parent, Husband, and Head, if therefore there &s;hall be any found to be as undermining Pyoners envying to di&s;affect our parent to us, to divorce us from this our Hus|band to divide us from our head.</P>
<P>My ju&s;t motion is, that upon a watchfull di&s;|covery, whereon I would have every mans good intent, they may receive the extremity of &s;everity as they de&s;erve, and if any of them &s;hall prove member of this Hou&s;e, that the Furnace may be heated ten times hotter, for betraying the tru&s;t re|po&s;ed in them, by their County that &s;ent them hither.</P>

<HEAD>A Speech &s;poken in the Hou&s;e of Com|mons, by Sir BENIAMIN RUDYARD.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>M. Speaker,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>IN the way we are, we have gone as far as words can ca|rie us: We have voted our own rights, and the Kings Duty: No doubt there is a Relative Duty between a King and Subjects; Obedience from a Subject to a King, Protection from a King to His People. The pre&s;ent unhap|py di&s;tance between His Maje&s;ty and the Parliament, makes the whole Kingdome &s;tand ama<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="UOM" EXTENT="2 letters">d, in a fearfull expectation of di&s;mall calamities to fall upon it: It deeply and con&s;ci|onably concerns this Hou&s;e to compo&s;e and &s;ettle the&s;e threatning ruining di&s;tractions. M. Speaker, I am touch'd, I am pierc'd with an apprehen&s;ion of the honour of the Hou&s;e, and &s;ucce&s;&s;e of this Parliament. The be&s;t way to give &s;top to the&s;e de&s;perate imminent mi&s;chiefs is, to make a fair way for the Kings return hither; it will likewi&s;e give be&s;t &s;atisfaction to the people, and will be our be&s;t ju&s;tifica|tion. M. <HI>Speaker,</HI> That we may the better con&s;ider the con|dition we are now in, let us &s;et our &s;elves three yeers back: If any man then could have credibly told us, that within three yeers the Queen &s;hall be gone out of England into the Low-Countreys, for any cau&s;e what&s;oever: The King &s;hall remove from his Parliament, from London to York, decla|ring him&s;elf not to be &s;<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="UOM" EXTENT="1 letter">fe here: That there &s;hall be a totall Rebellion in Ireland, Such di&s;cords and di&s;tempers both in
<PB N="5" REF="4">
Church and State here, as now we find; certainly we &s;hould have trembled at the thought of it: wherefore it is fit we &s;hould be &s;en&s;ible now we are in it.</P>
<P>On the other &s;ide, if any man then could have credibly told us, That within three yeers ye &s;hall have a Parliament, it would have been good Newes; That &s;hip-money &s;hall be taken away by an Act of Parliament, the rea&s;ons and grounds of it &s;o rooted out, as that neither it, nor any thing like it, can ever grow up again; That Monopolies, the High-Commi&s;&s;ion Court, the Star-Chamber, the Bi&s;hops Votes &s;hall be taken away, the Councell Table regulated and re&s;trained, the Forre&s;ts bounded and limited; that ye &s;hall have a trienniall Parliament; and more then that, a perpetuall Parliament, which none &s;hall have power to di&s;|&s;olve without yout &s;elves, we &s;hould have thought this a dream of happine&s;&s;e; yet now we are in the reall po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion of it, we do not enjoy it, although His Maje&s;ty hath promi|&s;ed and publi&s;hed he will make all this good to us. We &s;tand chiefly upon further &s;ecurity; whereas the very having of the&s;e things, is a convenient faire &s;ecurity, mutually &s;ecuring one another, there is more &s;ecurity offered, even in this la&s;t An&s;wer of the Kings, by removing the per&s;onall Votes of Popi&s;h Lords, by the better education of Papi&s;ts children, by &s;upplying the defects of Lawes again&s;t Recu&s;ants, be&s;ides what el&s;e may be enlarged and improved by a &s;elect Com|mittee of both Hou&s;es, named for that puapo&s;e. Wherefore Sir, let us beware we do not contend for &s;uch a hrzardous un&s;afe &s;ecurity, as may endanger the lo&s;&s;e of what we have already; let us not thinke we have nothing, becau&s;e we have not all we de&s;ire, and though we had, yet we cannot make a Mathematicall &s;ecurity, all humane caution is Su&s;ceptible
<PB N="6" REF="5">
of corruption and failing; Gods providence will not be bound, &s;ucce&s;&s;e mu&s;t be his, he that ob&s;erves the wind and rain, &s;hall neither &s;ow nor reape, if he can do nothing till he can &s;ecure the weather, he will have but an ill harve&s;t.</P>
<P>Ma&s;ter <HI>Speaker,</HI> It now behoves us to call up all the wi&s;|dome we have about us, for wee are at the very brinke of Combu&s;tion and Confu&s;ion: If blood (once more) begin to toueh blood, wee &s;hall pre&s;ently fall into a certain mi&s;ery, and mu&s;t attend an uncertain &s;ucce&s;&s;e, God knowes when, and God knowes what. Every man here is bound in con|&s;cience to employ his uttermo&s;t endeavours to prevent the effu&s;ion of bloud; blood is a crying Sinne, it pollutes a land: Let us &s;ave our Liberties and our E&s;tates, as wee may &s;ave our Souls too. Now I have clearely delivered mine owne con&s;cience, I leave every man freely to his.</P>
