the Lords being thus sate An. 1592. and the Knights Citizens and Burgesses of the House of Commons as many as conveniently could be let in about two of the clock in the afternoon Sir John Puckering Lord Keeper of the Great Seal by command from the Queen spake to this effect The Lord Keeper's Speech THat though the assembling of Parliaments hath antiently been and still were for the Enacting of Laws and Reforming of Abuses and Grievances of the Subjects within the Realm The Lord Keepers Speech 〈◊〉 to direct the ●●s●●●●s in this Session yet at this time the Queens Majesty was desirous to have the Advice of all her loving people concerning the Defence and Preservation of her Self her Realms and Subjects from the Power and Oppression of a forreign Enemy Then he declared that this Enemy was the King of Spain and that his malice was increased by his loss and shame received in 88. That his resolution still was to invade this Kingdome The Spaniards Design of Reveenge discovered did plainly appear by his building and getting together many Ships of less bulk which would be fitter for service in our Seas than those greater Galliasses and Gallions had been in 88. That he desired some nearer place from whence to invade England and therefore at this time was labouring to plant himself in Britain a part of France And his Designes laid open That he had raised Factions in Scotland and Conspiracies against the King there finding him an enemy to his ambitious desires And therefore we her Majesties Subjects said he must with all dutiful consideration think what is fit for us to do Ex●… them to raise Moneys and with all willingness yield part of our own for the defence of others and assistance of her Majesty in such an unsupportable charge Were the cause between Friend and Friend how much would we do for the relief of one another but the cause is now between our Soveraign and our selves seeing there is so much difference in the parties how much more forward ought we to be The Aid formerly granted to her Majesty in these like cases is so ill answer'd 〈…〉 Supplies paied and with such slackness performed as that the third of that which was granted cometh not to her Majesty A great shew a rich grant and a long sum seems to be made but little it is hard to be gotten and the sum not great which is paid and 〈…〉 Her Majesty thinks this to be for that the wealthier sort of men turn this charge upon the weaker and upon those of worst ability so that one dischargeth himself and th' other is not able to satisfie that he is charged withal these things should be reformed by such as are Commissioners in this service Wherefore it is her Majesties pleasure 〈…〉 the time be not spent in devising and enacting new Laws the number of which are so great already as it rather burtheneth than easeth the Subject but the principal cause of this Parliament is that her Majesty might consult with her Subjects for the better withstanding those intended Invasions which are now greater than ever before were heard of And where heretofore it hath been used that many have delighted themselves in long Orations full of verbosity and vain ostentations more than in speaking things of substance the time that is precious would not be thus spent This Session cannot be long the Spring-time is fit that Gentlemen should repair to their Countreys the Justices of Assize also to go their Circuits so the good hours would not be lost in idle Speeches but the little time we have should be bestowed wholly on such business as is needful to be considered of and Thursday next is appointed the day to present the Speaker Assoon as the Lord Keeper's Speech was ended Receivers of Petitions named the Clerk of the Parliament read the names of the Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland and Wales and Scotland Sir Francis Popham Lord Chief-Justice of the Kings-Bench John Clinch one of the Justices of the said Bench Dr. Awbery Dr. Ford and they which will deliver Petitions are to deliver the same within six days next ensuing Receivers of Petitions for Gascoigne and other parts beyond the Seas and the Isles Sir Edmond Anderson Lord Chief-Justice of the Common-Pleas Sir William Peryam Lord Chief-Baron Tho.

Richardum Episcopum Peterburgen Nota This is one of those Proxies I call an usual or ordinary Proxie when a Spiritual Lord maketh but two Proctors and a Temporal Lord but one and those of their own Order but when a Temporal Lord nominateth a Spiritual Lord for his Proctor or nominateth more than one Proctor and when a Spiritual Lord nominateth a Temporal Lord for his Proctor or but one Proctor or more than two these I call unusual and extraordinay Proxies And therefore at this very time of nine Temporal Lords that sent their Proxies but one named two Lords of which see afterwards on Munday March 5. all the rest naming but one Indeed of six Spiritual Lords which sent their
