parium live in the Rols but they are dead where property and free-hold are determined by paper Petitions These words Nulli vendemus nulle differemus Iustitiam live in the Rols but they are dead when the suites judgements and execution of the Subject are wittingly illegally suspēded retarded avoided Shall we desire to search the mortall wounds inflicted upon the Statute Lawes who sees them notlying upon their death bed stab'd with Proclamations there Primitive and genuine tenures escheated by Acts of State and strangled by Monopolies Will you surveigh the liberties of the Subjects every prison spues out illegall attachments commitments every pillory is dyed w th the forced blood of the Subjects and hath eares though not to heare yet to witnesse this complaint Doe you doubt of the defacement of the aymiable Offices of his Majesties most transplendent and Renowned Iustice and grace let then that Microcosme of Leters Patents confirmed under his Majesties and his predecessors broad Seale of the Kingdome being the publique faith thereof and yet unchristened by frivolous private opinions rise up in Iudgement let the abortive Iudgement of the tenure in Capite where no tenure was exprest nay let the Hereticall and Trayterous opinions where the Tenure was exprest yet to draw in all by Markets and Faires granted in the same Patents rise up in Iudgments What glasse hath this unhappy divided Kingdome from his Majesties presence and audience to contemplate the faire and ravishing forme of his royall intentions in but in the cleere and diaphanous administration of his Justice and what doe these traytrous illegall practises ayme at but in affront to his Majestie which we most tenderly resent and discontent to his Subject to multiply as by a Magicke glasse the royall dispensation of his favors into the ugly and deformed visage of their suppression of the liberties devastation of the estates the deprivation of the lives of his loyall Subjects so that it may be said Regali Capiti cervicem consul equiaam Jungere sic vellet variasque inducere plumas My Lords these ought to be considered with as serious an care as they were practised by mischievous experiments Inquire of the Netherlands why their fields are grown fertile by the inundation of blood why the pensive Matrons solemnize too too frequent Funerals of their Husbands and issue and they will answer you it was for the preservation of their hereditary Lawes which Tyranny would have innovated This Kingdome personated in the sable habit of a Widdow with dissheveled hayres seemes to Petition your Lordships that since she is a Mother to most of us yet certainly a Nurse unto us all that you would make some order for redresse of her Tyrannicall oppression These persons impeached resemble the opacious body of the Earth interposed to eclipse that light and vigour which the solar aspect of Majestie would communicate vnto his Subjects They imitate the fish Sepia that vomits a dark liquor out of her mouth to cloude the waters for her securer escape They are those to whom the keyes have bin committed yet they have barred the doore to them that knock't They are these unnaturall Parents that give their children stones in stead of bread and scorpions for fish Was it for this purpose that the royall authoritie scituated them in these eminent places that like Beacons upon high Hills they should discover and proclaime each innovation and stratagem against the publique weale whilest they in the mean time imploy therein fire to a publique Incendiary or like Ignes fatui seduce the easie and beleeving Traveller into pits and unexpected Myres Were they sworne to seale their damnation and not the confirmation of our liberty ostates lives Shall a man be censured for perjury in that breach of his private Faith these be justifiable in Treason aggravated by perjury against the dignity of the Crownes and publique faith of the Kingdomes No my Lords the grave judicious and mature examination and deserved punishment of these traiterous proceedings will speak these times as glorious to posterity in their information as they are now lamented in their persecution The bloud-thirsting sword of an hostile enemy by a timely union and a defensive preparation may be prevented The thin rib'd Carcasse of an universall famine may have his consumption restored by a supply frō our neighboring Nations The quicke spreading venome of infectious pestilence may bee prevented by antidots and qualified by physicall remedies But this Catholicke grievance like a snake in the most verdant walkes for such are the unblemished lawes truly practised stings vs to death when we are most secure and like the Kings evill can onely be cured by his Majesties free and gratious premission of our modest and gentle procedings for his vindication and our preservation therein included Spencer and Gamston who have left their names monumentally odious for the evill counsell they fed the Kings eare with yet did possibly advantage their owne friends while these dart their envie and treason for a common Centery equal touching the bounds of every superficies for as concerning the valide estates they have illegally overthrown when the lawes by your Lordships industrie receive their native vigor they will re-assume their confirmation but the estates happily in themselves legall that they have in an extrajudiciall forme established will haste as speedily to their dissolution so that Iudas like they betray their best friends with a kisse My Lords J cannot finde any surviving Chronologie of tymes this season to be parallel'd with all circumstances which makes me view the Records amongst the infernal spirits to find if match't there J might extenuate their facts where ● they appeare like the false spirits sent into the mouth of the Prophet Ahab to speake delusions to subvert the host of God The most vehement and trayterous encounter of Sathan is lively deciphered in the true example of Iob where first I observe the disaualogie he overthrowes not Iobs Magna Charta he disseizes him not of his Inheritance nor dispossesses him of his Leases but onely disrobes him of some part of his parsonall estate when he proceeds to infringe Iobs liberty he doth not pillory him nor cut off his ears nor bore him through the tongue he onely spots him with some ulcers here Sathan staines when these persons by their trayterous combinations envie the very bloud that runs unspilt in our veines and by obtruding bloody Acts damn'd in the last Parliament will give Sathan sise ace and the Dice at Irish in inthralling the lives of the Subjects by their arbitrary Judicature I would not my Lords be understood to impute to the Judges an iufallibility of errors nor in impeaching these to traduce those whose candor and integrity shine with more admired lustre then their white furres who like trophees of virgin-justice stood fix't and unmov'd in the rapid torrent of the times while these like strawes chips plai'd in the streames untill they are devolv'd in
