an Heretick or a Papist or that You endeavour to introduce Popery or shall stir up the People to hatred or dislike of Your Royal Person or Government then every such Person shall be made incapable of any Office or Imployment either in Church or State And if any man shall maliciously and advisedly affirm That the Parliament begun at Westminster the third of September 1640. is yet in being or that any Covenant or Engagement since that time imposed upon the People doth oblige them to endeavour a Change of the Government either in Church or State or that either or both Houses of Parliament have a Legislative Power without Your Majesty then every such Offendor being thereof legally convicted shall incur the Penalties of a Praemunire mentioned in the Statute made 16. R. 2. In the next place Sir Give me leave I beseech You without any violence to the Act of Oblivion to remember a sad effect of the Distempers in the last age when the Feaver began to seize upon the People they were impatient till they lost some blood The Lords Spirituall who in all ages had injoyed a place in Parliament were by an Act of Parliament excluded Your Majesties Royal Grandfather was often wont to say No Bishop no King We found his words true for after they were put out the Feaver still increasing in another fit The Temporal Lords followed and then the King himself nor did the humor rest there but in the round the House of Commons was first garbled and then turned out of doors It is no wonder when a Sword is put into a mad mans hand to see him cut off limb by limb and then to kill himself When there is a great breach of the sea upon the low grounds by the violence of the torrent the Rivers of sweet waters are often turned aside and the salt waters make themselves a Channel but when the breach is made up good husbands drain their lands again and restore the ancient Sewres Thanks be to God the flood is gone off the face of this Island our Turtle Dove hath found good footing Your Majesty is happily restored to the Government the Temporal Lords and Commons are restored to sit in Parliament and shall the Church alone now suffer Sit Ecclesia Anglicana libera habeat libertates suas illaesas In order to this great work the Commons have prepared a Bill to repeal that Law was made in 17 Car. whereby the Bishops were excluded this House these Noble Lords have all agreed and now we beg Your Majesty will give it life speak but the word Great Sir and Your servants yet shal live We cannot well forget the method how Our late miseries like waves of the Sea came in upon us first the people were invited to Petition to give colour to some illegal demands then they must Remonstrate then they must Protest then they must Covenant then they must associate then they must engage against our lawfull Government and for the maintenance of the most horrid Tyranny that ever was invented For the prevention of this practice for the future We do humbly tender unto Your Majesty a Bill entituled An Act against Tumults and Disorders upon pretence of preparing or presenting publick Petitions or Addresses to You Majesty or the Parliament In the next place we held it our Duty to undeceive the People who have been poysoned with an Opinion That the Militia of this Nation was in themselves or in their Representatives in Parliament and according to the ancient known Laws we have declared the sole Right of the Militia to be in Your Majesty And for asmuch as our time hath not permitted us to finish a Bill intended for the future ordering of the same we shall present You with a temporary Bill for the present managing and disposing of the Land-Forces And likewise another Bill for the establishing certain Articles and Orders for the Regulation and Government of Your Majesty's Navies and Forces by Sea According to Your Majesty's Commands we have examined many of the publick and private Bills which passed last Parliament and have prepared some Bills of Confirmation we have also ascertained the Pains and Penalties to be imposed upon the Persons or Estates of those Miscreants who had a hand in the Murder of Your Royal Father of Blessed Memory and were therefore Excepted in Your Majesties Act of Oblivion Wherein we have declared to all the world how just an Indignation we had against that horrid Regicide We have likewise prepared a Bill for the Collection of great Arrears of the Duty of Excise which I do here in the name of the Commons humbly present unto Your Majesty the Reason we conceive why it was not formerly paid was because the People disliked the Authority whereby it was imposed But understanding that it is now given to Your Majesty it will come in with as great freedom Aliquisque malo erit usus in illo Your Majesty was pleased at the opening of the Parliament to tell us That You intended this Summer to take a Progresse and see Your People and at Your return did hope to bring a Queen home with You. Sir this welcome News hath made us cast about alwayes for Your Accomodation And therefore that no conveniencies might be wanting either for Your Majesty Your Queen or Your Attendants We have prepared a Bill intituled An Act for providing necessary Carriages in all Your Royal Progresses and Removals Your Majesty was likewise pleased at our first meeting to say You would not tyre us with hard Duty and hot Service and therefore about this time intended a recess That Royal Favour will now be very seasonable and we hope advantagious both to Your Majesty and our selves We know in our absence Your Princely Heart and Head will not be free from Cares and Thoughts of our Protection And when we leave our Hive like the industrious Bee We shall but flie about the several Countreys of the Nation to gather Honey and when Your Majesty shall be pleased to name the time return with loaded Thighs unto our House again FINIS

C R HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE DIEV ET MON DROIT His MAJESTIES gracious SPEECH to both Houses of PARLIAMENT on Tuesday July 30. 1661. the day of their Adjournment My Lords and Gentlemen I Perceive by the thin appearance of the Members of both Houses this day that it is high time to Adjourn In truth the season of the year as well as your particular affairs require it and therefore I do willingly consent to it I thank you for the many good Bills you have presented Me with this day of which I hope the benefit will redound to the whole Kingdom I thank you for the care you have taken for the safety of My Person which trust Me is the more valuable to Me for the consequence I think it is of to you and upon My conscience there is no body wishes ill to Me but they who would quickly revenge themselves of you if they could I thank you for the care you have taken of your selves of your own safety and honour in the Act against Tumults and Disorders upon pretence of Petitions to which licence We owe much of the Calamities We have undergone but I thank you with all My heart indeed as much as I can do for any thing for the repeal of that Act which excluded the Bishops from sitting in Parliament it was an unhappy Act in an unhappy time passed with many unhappy circumstances and attended with miserable events and therefore I do again thank you for repealing it you have thereby restored Parliaments to their primitive Institutions And I hope My Lords and Gentlemen you will in a short time restore them to the primitive order and gravity of Debates and Determinations which the licence of the late distempered times had so much corrupted which is the only way to restore Parliaments to its primitive Veneration with the people which I heartily wish they should alwayes have My Lords and Gentlemen you are now going to your several Countreys where you cannot but be very welcome for the Services you have performed here I do very earnestly recommend the good Government and Peace of your Countreys to your care and your counsel and your vigilance There are distempered spirits enough which ly in wait to do mischief by laying reproaches upon the Court upon the Government reproaches upon Me and reproaches upon you your Wisdoms and Reputation and Authority will I doubt not weigh down their light Credit and the old and new good Laws will I hope prevent any mischief they intend however you have done very well and I do very heartily thank you for it in declaring My sole Right over the Militia the questioning of which was the Fountain from which all Our bitter Waters flowed I pray make haste to put the whole Kingdom into such Posture that evil men who will not be converted may yet choose to be quiet because they finde that they shall not be able to do the harm they desire to do I know you have begun many Bills in both Houses which cannot be finished till your meeting again and that they may be finished then I forbear to make a Sessions now but am contented that you Adjourn till the twentieth of November when I hope by Gods blessing We shall come happily together again In a word My Lords and Gentlemen I thank you for what you have done and am confident that what you have left undone you will dispatch with all alacrity and to all Our satisfactions at Our next meeting and so you may Adjourn till the twentieth of November THE SPEECH OF Sr. EDWARD TVRNOR KNIGHT Speaker of the Honorable House of COMMONS TO THE KINGS Most Excellent MAJESTY Delivered on Tuesday the Thirtieth day of July 1661. at the Adjournment of the Parliament May it please Your most Excellent Majesty THe Wise man tells us there is a time to sow and a time to reap Since Your Majesty did conveen the Knights Citizens and Burgesses of the Commons House of Parliament they have with unwearied labour consulted for the Service of Your Majesty and the good of this Nation and now the Fields grow white to Harvest In the great field of Nature all fruits do not grow ripe together but some in one moneth some in another one time affords Your Majesty Primroses and Violets another time presents you with July-flowers So it is in the course of our proceedings some of our fruits are in the Blossome when others are in the Bud some are near ripe and others fit to be presented to Your Majesty Amongst the number of our choicest ripe fruits we first present You with a Bill for the Safety and Preservation of Your Majesties Royal Person and Government Your Predecessor Queen Elizabeth of famous memory in the Thirteenth year of her Reign by Pius Quintus then Bishop of Rome was Excommunicated and Anathematized John Felton posted up a Bull at the Bishop of Londons Palace whereby she was declared to be deprived of her Title to the Kingdom and all the People of this Realm absolved from their Allegiance to her The Queen of Scots was then a prisoner in England and the Duke of Norfolk for many Designs against our Queen committed to the Tower Historians tell us the times were very troublesome full of suspitions and conspiracies But Sir what then was onely feared hath in our time been put in execution No Age hath known no History makes mention of such sad Tragedies It therefore now becomes Your People after this glorious Restitution to endeavour all just wayes of preservation The Queen in her time of trouble and danger summoned a Parliament and such was the Love of the People to her and her Government that they forthwith made a Law for her security According to which President We your Loyal Commons also who have before them no lesse cause of fear but more Obligations and Affection to your Majesty do humbly tender You a Bill wherein we desire it may be Enacted That if any Person shall compasse imagine or design Your Majesties Death Destruction or bodily Harm to imprison or restrain Your Royal Person or depose You or shall levy War against Your Majesty within or without Your Realm or stir up any forraign Power to invade You and shall express or declare such his wicked intention by Printing Writing Preaching or malicious and advised speaking being thereof legally convicted shall be adjudged a Traitor And because much of our late Misery took its rise from seditious Pamphlets and Speeches from the Pulpits it is provided That if any man shall maliciously and advisedly publish or affirm Your Majesty to be
