Kerton Mr. Speaker IF ever now is the time to speake we see what men are risen to this businesse we have in hand is of dangerous consequence if it be not throughly looked into J thinke no man that sits here but it sensible in what danger now it stands if this honourable house doe not find some present remedy for it It is apparent to every man what new opinions are brought in to disturbe the peace our church was formerly in the meaning of it can be no other but to bring in the Romish Religion amongst us for it ever hath bin Jesuitish policy first to worke a disturbance then after a change we must seeke a cause I shall freely speak my mind which is that this proceedeth from the ambition of some of the Clergie that are nigh his Majesty for it is well known that that which the church of Rome antiently professed and that we now doe professe were all one and the ambition of the Clergie begot and brought in those differences that are now betwixt us The highest dignity they can attaine unto here in England is an Arch-bishoprick for a Cardinals cap is not here to be had J beleeve some of these affect that too well and in some we see how they affect how they change their opinions for advantage and how they will turne white into black and black into white This being so our indeavour must be to take away the roote and then the branches will decay themselves it is not the calling in the appeale to Caesar that will do it for if they can get a Bishoprick by c. It behoveth us all every man according to our best ability to apply himselfe for the search of these things that we may find out the matter and the men and so present them and the danger this Kingdome now standeth in by them to his Majesty And for mine owne part I as God shall enable me will doe my best endeavour herein FINIS
