delivered up to the hands of Justice Mr. Pym told us there was no proof that my Lord Major and the other Persons named were countenancers of Brownists Anabaptists and other Sectaries where should this proof be made Do we not all know this to be true are they not all so much countenanced as there is no countenance left for any body else Did not my Lord Major first enter upon his Office with a speech against the Booke of Common-Prayer hath the Common-Prayer ever been read before him hath not Captain Venn said that his Wife could make Prayers worth three of any in that Book Oh Masters there have been times that he that should speake against the Book of Common Prayer in this Citie should not have been put to the patience of a Legall Triall we were wont to look upon it as the greatest Treasure and Jewell of our Religion and he that should have told us he wished well to our Religion and yet would take away the Booke of Common-Prayer would never have gotten credit I have been in all the parts of Christendom and have conversed with Christians in Turky why in all the Reformed Churches there is not any thing of more Reverence then the English Liturgy not our Royall Exchange or the name of Queen Elizabeth so famous In Geneva it self I have heard it extolled to the Skies I have been 3. Moneths together by Sea not a day without hearing it read twice The honest Mariners then despised all the world but the King and the Common-Prayer Book he that should have been suspected to wish ill to either of them would have made an ill Voyage And let me tell you they are shrewd Youths those Seamen if they once discern that the Person of the King is in danger or the true Protestant professed Religion they will shew themselves mad bodies before you are a ware of it I would not be a Brownist or an Anabaptist in their way for But we are told of an Army of Papists who will root out our Religion for my part I am sure I am not suspected for any affection to Papists yet I confesse at this time I have not the least feare of danger from them and the truth is this Bugbeare is grown lesse terrible to every body We know from the beginning of this Parliament the continuall discovery of Plotts by the Papists and what those discoveries have cost us and yet to this day not the least probable charge objected against them When the King was at York no discourse here but of the Papists being there in multitudes when 't is well known His Majestie took all possible care to prevent the resort of any Papists to the Court and I have been assured by very honest men that in a Moneth there was scarce the face of one Papist there When he first raised His Army did he not by Proclamation forbid any to come to Him But hark you Gentlemen where would you have these Papists be can they live in the Ayre or in the Water beyond-Sea you will not suffer them to passe if they stay at their Houses they are Plundred 't is a good Justification for Plundring that they are Papists Are they not the Kings Subjects and should they not flye to Him for Protection Is there any Law that sayes the Papists must not assist the King with Men Arms or Money when He is in distresse and when He conceives Himself to be in danger of His Life Let us look about us if this world hold not onely all the Papists but all the Gentlemen of England will finde it necessary to carry all they have to the King and venture it in that bottome But both Houses have declared that there have been no plundring by the direction of Parliament Here I thinke they would be willing to admit the King to be a part of the Parliament to save their honour otherwise if plundring signifies the comming with violence into ones house and taking away his goods against his consent sure there hath been much plundring even by the direction of the Houses but have they ever punished plundring of the worst sort if they have not directed it will a Declaration of both Houses repaire the fine Wane-scott and the goodly Leads of honest George Binyons house Let me tell you the time hath been the losse of such a Citizen would have been talked of in another way I wonder what kinde of Government is preparing for Us when they will not allow that the Imprisonment of our Person is the taking away our Liberty or the taking away the twentieth part of our Estates is the destruction of our property and did you marke what a notable reason was given us for this the same Law that doth enable them to raise Forces doth likewise enable them to require Contributions it doth indeed yet one might be without the other but I would these Gentlemen had chose another Auditory to have convinced with this Argument the Countrey people will be no more couzened by the Citie when they heare what kinde of Oratory prevailes over us we shall be shortly told when they have a minde to our houses that the same Law which gave them Authority to take away our Money gave them likewise Power to do the other too The King tells us if we shall hereafter contribute any thing for the maintenance of the Army which He sayes is in Rebellion against him He pardon's what 's past marke that He will deny us the benefit of His Protection with Forraign Princes which He will signify to His forraign Ministers what remedy have the Lords and Commons found for this now sufficient to do the businesse They declare That this is an excesse of rigour and injustice beyond example and therefore they hope His Majestie will be induced by better Counsell to forbear the execution A very soveraign Declaration but 't is ten to one if we do not obey His Majestie in the Injunction he hath laid upon us He will use this excesse of rigour I know not how little you that trade onely within the Kingdom may think your selves concerned in this but I say whoever understands the Trade abroad and the benefit of being a Subject to the King of England will not runne this hazard for let him be assured in the instant the King disclaimes him he is ruined and therefore you who have Estates abroad looke to it Gentlemen I have troubled you very long but in good faith the manner and the matter of the last dayes work hath layen so heavie upon my heart that I should have thought I had forfeited this Gown and this Chain if I had been silent and that I had betrayed the Liberty of that famous Citie which I am sworn to defend One word I had forgotten to mention the caution which was given us of such Messengers as His Majestie should send that we should observe them that they might be dealt with as Messengers of Sedition God forbid we should live to see any Messengers
