<P>THE Subtilty and Policy of Man cor|rupted, and for evill Actions, in dan|ger of Puni&s;hment, is alwayes work|ing, although by the de&s;truction of the vertu|ous and Innocent, to free and cleere him&s;elfe; The Actions and indeavors of the good man

and the bad are alwayes oppo&s;ite, The good man practi&s;eth to defend vertue and piety, bring to de&s;erved puni&s;hment, the vitious and Malignant, out of duty to God, his King and Country. The wicked man &s;trives to defend him&s;elfe and vices to the di&s;honour of God, the de&s;truction of his true Religion, of his King and Country, if oppo&s;ite to his de&s;ignes; We have had the experience of the evils and great troubles that have beene rai&s;ed in this State, by ill in&s;truments, men of power and authority in the &s;ame; and not onely of open and publicke mi&s;doers, but of private di&s;affe|cted &s;pirits, who&s;e outward carriage hath pro|cured to them&s;elves great e&s;teeme and re&s;pect in their countrey; hay, &s;o well have they been approved of, that their countrey hath intru&s;t|ed them with their e&s;tates and priviledges, as electing them members of this High Court of Parliament, wherein al&s;o for a long time they have di&s;charged their duties to their King and Countrey; nay, and obtained the generall e&s;timation and re&s;pect of all men, as worthy members of the Common-wealth; but their hearts agreeing not with their outward carri|age, being not upright and perfect, have at la&s;t &s;hewed them&s;elves in their owne colours, and brought to them&s;elves &s;hame and di&s;ho|nour.</P>
<P>This Gentleman now accu&s;ed by this Ho|nourable
<PB REF="3">
Hou&s;e, had the honour to be a Mem|ber of the Parliament, and &s;o well e&s;teemed by his Maie&s;ty, that hee was entertained his Atturney Generall; which had he beene con|tented withall, and not been ambitious or ma|licious, which of the two I am not able to di|&s;tingui&s;h was his errour, or whether he is guil|ty of both: however, it is cleare, his heart was not right in di&s;charging his duty in that great place committed to him; and as hee was a member of the Parliament, had he been faith|full to his King and Countrey, he would never have undertaken this enterpri&s;e, to pre&s;ume to advi&s;e his Maie&s;ty to accu&s;e the Members of this Hou&s;e of high trea&s;on, and draw him&s;elfe their accu&s;ation.</P>
<P><HI>Mr. SPEAKER,</HI></P>
<P>His Offence is of a high nature, of dange|rous Con&s;equence, a manife&s;t Breach of the Priviledges of Parliament, an Apparant Trea|chery again&s;t the per&s;ons of tho&s;e Worthy Members; and Con&s;equently an offence a|gain&s;t the whol State, de&s;erving great puni&s;h|ment for the &s;ame.</P>
<P>By this he hath made him&s;elfe guilty of the &s;ame mi&s;demeanours that other delinquents are impeached and accu&s;ed for, not inferiour to them in this crime. This his practice and de&s;igne was a great offence again&s;t his &s;acred
<PB REF="4"><!-- PDF PAGE 25 -->
Maie&s;ty him&s;elf, in &s;eeking to worke an e|vill opinion in his Maie&s;ty of his Parliament, and their proceedings in the great affaires both of Church, and State. This di&s;couraged and di&s;-heartned the Parliament to proceed in any bu&s;ine&s;&s;e for the good and honour of their King and Countrey, when they perceive that all their endeavours and dutifull actions are not well accepted by his Maie&s;ty, but ill thought of. This might prove a cau&s;e to alie|nate the hearts of King and people one from another. This hath cau&s;ed all the trouble and di&s;traction in this State, ill coun&s;ell.</P>
<P><HI>Mr. <HI>SPEAKER,</HI></HI></P>
<P>I humbly de&s;ire that this Accu&s;ation may be perfected, and that we may proceed to vo|ting him upon the &s;ame, as by this Hono|rable Hou&s;e hee &s;hall be found Guilty, and with all Convenient Expedition that may be pre&s;ented to the Lords, And that hee may pro|ceed with cheerfulne&s;&s;e to &s;ettle all di&s;orders in this Kingdome, both in Church and State, redre&s;&s;e all Grievances of his Maie&s;ties good Subiects, expedite our indeavors for a timely reliefe of Ireland, and bring all delinquents in this Common&punc; wealth to de&s;erved puni&s;hment for their many mi&s;demeanors, and dangerous
<PB REF="4">
Crime by them committed, and the e&s;ta|bli&s;hing &s;uch a forme of Government, and di|cipline Eccle&s;ia&s;ticall, in the Church, for the true wor&s;hipping of God, as may be a|greeable to his Word and verity.</P>
