AN HONOURABLE SPEECH Made in the Parlament of Scotland by the Earle of ARGILE being now Competitor with Earle MORTON for the Chancellorship the Thirtieth of SEPTEMBER 1641. Touching the prevention of Nationall dissention and perpetuating the happie Peace and Union betwixt the two Kingdomes by the frequent holding of PARLAMENTS LONDON Printed by A. N. for I. M. at the George in FLEETSTREET Anno 1641. MY LORDS WHat was more to bee wished on earth then the great happinesse this day wee enjoy viz. To see his Royall Majesty our Native Sovereign and his loyall Subjects of both his Kingdomes so really united That his Majesty is piously pleased to grant unto us his Subjects our lawfull demands concerning Religion and Liberties and we his Subjects of both Nations cheerfully rendring to his Majesty that dutie affection and assistance which he hath just cause to expect from good people and each Nation concurring in brotherly amitie unity and concord one towards the other Oh what tongue is able to expresse the honour and praise due to that great and good God who in these late Commotions suffered not the counsels of either Kingdome to despaire of the safetie of either Common-wealth but through his blessing to their painfull and prudent endevours hath wrought such an happinesse for us That now after the great toyle and trouble which we have on both sides so long endured wee may each man with his wife children and friends under his own Vine and Fig-tree and all under his Majesties protection refresh himselfe with the sweet fruits of peace which I beseech the Lord of peace to make perpetuall to both Nations And to that end my earnest desires are that all our best studies and endeavours may bee employed for some time in contriving and establishing such wholsome Laws in both Kingdomes whereby as much as in us lyes the opportunity and occasion of producing the like calamities as lately threatned both Nations may for the future be prevented if in any age hereafter such Miscreants shall goe againe to attempt it It is my Lords notorious that the late Incendiaries that occasioned the great differences betwixt his Majesty and his Subjects took much advantage courage by the too long intermission of the happy constitution of Parliaments In the vacancie of which they by false informations incensed his Majesty against his loyall Subjects and by their wily insinuations extorted from his Highnesse Proclamations for to yield obedience to their innovations in the Kirke and Patents for Projects whereby the poore Subject was both polled and oppressed in his estate and enthralled in his conscience and thus by their wicked practices his Majestie was distasted and his Subjects generally discontented in so much that had not the great mercy of God prevented them they had made an Obstruction betwixt his Majestie and his liege people and had broken those mutuall and indissoluble bonds of protection and allegiance whereby I hope his Royall Majestie and his loyall and dutifull Subjects of all his three Kingdomes will be ever bound together To which let all good Subjects say Amen My Lords the distaste of his Majesty nor discontents of his Subjects could never have come to that height they did nor consequently have produced such effects had not there bin such an interposition by these Innovators and Projectors betwixt his Majestie our glorious Sun and us his loyall Subjects that his goodnesse appeared not for the time to us nor our loyaltie and obedience to him For no sooner was that happy Constellation the Parliament in England raised and thereby those vaporous clouds dissipated but his Majesties goodnesse his good Subjects loyalty and their treachery evidently appeared Our Brethren of England my Lords finding the intermission of Parlaments to be prejudiciall and dangerous to the State have taken care and made provision for the frequent holding of them whose prudent example My Motion is may be our pattern forthwith to obtaine his Majesties Royall assent for doing the like here in this Kingdome By which meanes his Majesty may in due time heare and redresse the grievances of his Subjects and his Subjects as neede shall require chearefully aid and assist his Majesty And nor only the domestique peace and quiet of each Kingdome bee preserved But likewise all Nationall differences if any happen may be by the wisdome of the Assemblies of both Kingdomes from time to time composed and reconciled to the perpetuating of the happie peace and union betwixt both Nations FINIS
