Wright 1643. Mr. Hollis HIS Speech to the Lords upon the delivery of a Message from the House of Commons My Lords I Am commanded by the Knights Citizens and Burgesses of the Commons House to present your Lordships with a Petition now delivered into their House by divers poor Tradesmen in and about the Citie of London contaning in the same the great want and necessitie they and their families are fallen into through the decay of treading The means and causes that have produced this decay and the remedies to prevant further miserie and revive trading My Lords it is a common observation and the experience of former Ages hath made it manifest that when the sword of warre is unsheathed famine that followes the greatest destruction of all Common-wealths and Kingdomes witnesse the miserable calamities and troubles that have of late years befallen upon Italy and Germany If wee call to minde ancient Histories mentioning the fatall destruction of the Easterne Empires wee shall finde that the first step to their desolation hath been domestick dissention and home-bred mutinies upon which hath followed Nationall warres and the effects of all hath been famine and pestilence which hath given a full period to the utter confusion of those Kingdoms If wee pry and search into the ancient Histories of Italy and Rome we shall find the only destruction both of that Kingdom and Citie hath happened only by these occasions the pride and ambition of the Popes and Bishops of that See usurping authority to themselves over the Churches in the East produced the wars between the East Vandals and the Romans beeween the East and West Gothes and the Italians which was the utter desolation of the City of Rome First by Allarick Captain of the West Gothes Secondly by Adolph their Captain Thirdly by Athila King of the Hunns Fourthly by Genserick King of the Vandalls Fifthly Odasar a German Sixthly Theodericke an East Goth. And lastly Totela Baldivel These Princes by the sword and fire executed the iust iudgements of God upon proud and wicked Rome the originall whereof was occasioned by the impurity and uncleanes of the Clergy and what terrible Famines and grievous pestilencies followed these warres is likewise too manifest by History whereas in the beginning whome Rome first began to lift up her head against Gods true Religion and his anointed Servants Kings and Emperours she had been dashed and suppressed all those bloudy and long warres procured by the Bishops thereof in all parts of the Christian world had bin prevented and avoyded My Lords I have spoken this onely to remember your Lordships of the miseries and calamities that have hapned unto those Nations that have entertained amongst themselves dissension about the diversity of worship of God in Religion which alwaies hath proved the root and principall means of future destruction that now in time while opportunity doth serve such occasions of difference as do threaten the the same desolations to the state wherein we live and whereof we be a part may by the wisdome of this high Court of Parliment be prevented and avoyded My Lords if Dearth and Famine be in a Nation there can be nothing expected but confusion as well of the rich as of the poore It is the Common Proverb necessity hath no law There is no delaying of present necessity It is not to be thought that Millions of men women and childrdn will starve and perish so long as there is Corn in the Land of Goshen or in the custody of Ioseph It is therefore the desire my Lords of the Commons that as they have compassionately considered among themselves this necessiated Petition of distressed Trades-men and have limited a day certaine for answering the same so your Lordships would be pleased to take the same Petition into your consideration with them that the petitioners may at the time appointed receive from both Houses of Parliament such answer from their demands as may give them full satisfaction My Lords under favour I am to speake a word or two of the means that have occasioned the decay in trading and the remedies to prevent the same for future time and againe renew Trading the meanes they conceive is principally want of due execution of Justice upon those persons that have bin the causers and Authors thereof and then the remedies due execution of Justice without any further protraction of time and the Enacting of such wholsome and good lawes for the restriction of vice and maintaining of vertue both in goverment of the Church and State as shall be congruent to the word of God and the peace and prosperity of his Sacred Majesty and all his Kingdoms as shall be thought meet by the wisdome and policie of this great high Court of Parliament which I further humbly leave to the grave consideration of this Honourable House A Relation of a Vision of Blood in the Skie which appeared at Redding on Tuesday night last UPon Tuesday night last there appeared a skie red as bloud about Redding halfe a mile long or more which was seen so cleare and visible about six of the clock at night that not onely many people thereabouts did run to see it but it being apparent so farre that it might be seen to London there were thousands that went to London-Bridge and many other places where they could attaine the prospect to see it insomuch that there was a great crowd upon the Bridge some went into the fields others to the tops of houses to behold this wonderfull vision which was in this manner viz. In length half a mile or more as it was judged sharp at the North end and broad at the South end for the length of it was North and South red as bloud and very clear almost in colour like the Moon when she is in an Eclipse which though it seemed cleere yet caused rather a darknesse then a light the length continued much alike but it grew somtimes broader and sometimes again it was narrower there was neither Sun Moone nor any Star visible in the skie which was very black and dark onely this bloudy vision which appeared in this manner What can we otherwise judge of then to be a token of Gods displeasure against the cruell Cavaliers thereabouts who kill murder and slaw the people of God whose bloud cries to heaven in the ears of God for vengeance against them FINIS handle the Ecclesiasticall affaires And those which shall be chosen to goe to the Colloques and Synods with the Ministers shall not faile to come thither at the day assigned CHAP.
