TWO SPEECHES Delivered by the Earl of Manchester AND Mr. Io Pym Esquire IN GVILD-HALL On Friday the 25. of Nov. 1642. Concerning a present Supply of Money for the Army and Propositions for easing the City for the time to come And laying the burthen on the Neutrallists and Malignants throughout the Kingdom Nouemb 26 LONDON Printed by J. F. for Peter Cole and are to be sold at his shop at the sign of the Glove and Lyon neer the Royall-Exchange 1642. The Earl of Manchester his SPEECH MY Lord Maior and Gentlemen you of the City of London I am commanded to come hither upon an Errand that I know in the generall is never pleasing which is to expresse wants and necessities but I know very well to whom I speak it is to the Worthy the Generous and the Royall CITIZENS of London who have exceeded all Story in their care for the life and preservation both of the Parliament and the whole Kingdom Therefore it would imply a distrust of your present care to make a Supply if I should use any Arguments to you I shall onely say this that if there be not an enlargement of your selves in some measure at the present I shall be very unwilling to expresse the condition that I fear our Army will be reduc'd to This is all that I shall say that if there be a present Supply I do not doubt but the Army will move with that effect as it will prevent all those barbarous and salvage plunderings of the Forces that are now under the Command of those Officers of the King I confesse the burthen hath lain very heavie onely upon the City of London and you shall have the grace and the honour of the preservation both of Religion and the Laws and Liberties of this Kingdom This Gentleman that is by me will let you know that it is already in Proposition and I do not doubt but it will speedily have the concurrence of the Lords with it to take that care that the future burthen shall not lye upon those here in the City of London that have been carefull to make Supplies even to the exhausting of themselves but that it shall go generally to all those that have shrowded themselves under a kinde of Neutrality here in London and that it shall go generally throughout all the Countries of England that so the common Calamities shall be prevented and supported by the common burthen laid upon the whole Kingdom Master Iohn Pym HIS SPEECH GEntlemen we come not to tell your Lordship and these worthy Citizens onely our wants and dangers but we come to speake the thanks of the Parliament to you for that that you have alre●dy done that you have shewed so much affection to the publique and that it hath produced so good effects throughout the whole Kingdom as that now you have an Army raised most out of this City able to defend with Gods blessing the Religion and Liberty of the Kingdom if it may be upheld and we come not onely to give you thanks for that that you have done but to stirre you up to joyne with us in giving thanks to God that hath given such a blessing to our endeavours that when by Letters into all parts almost they did presume before hand to triumph in the ruine and in the plundering of this Citie God prevented it and hath kept you safe kept your Houses your Walls your Suburbs safe from that that was intended against you and truely as we have sought for this blessing by fasting and by prayer so it is fit that we should testifie our thanksgiving for it and this is a necessary part of our errand which we are sent about and that we may be serviceable to Gods providence still as he hath stirred up your hearts to do so much already so that he would stirre you up still to continue that that is fit to be done for the future and that you will do it in such a way as may be most pleasing to your selves we come not hither that by any consent here in publique you should bind your selves in particular but we come to let you know the dangers of the Kingdom the sense the Parliament hath of it and of the Citie especially that you may not lose that that hath bin already done but that you may go on still cheerfully to do the full worke And we come to tell you that the Parliament doth intend the burden shall not lye upon you that are well-affected and come in voluntarily but that they have thought upon a way and have begun it already and I hope within two or three dayes at the most it shall be published to you that all that are indisposed shall be forced to do that which out of readinesse and cheerfulnesse to the publique good they will not doe of themselves neither limit it we to the Citie and Suburbs but we are in a course to draw in all the Countries of the Kingdom that as the burden is universall so the aid may be universall for this is the thoughts of the Parliament And if it please God to blesse your Forces that are already raised and continued wee hope you shall not onely see peace againe in the Kingdome and security for your Religion but see those that have been the engines and actors of the mischiefs and troubles that are come upon us the burden shall lye upon them that they shall recompence the charges you have been at already This is the intention of the Parliament onely for the present do somewhat every man as GOD shall enable him do somewhat that may meet the present necessities and prevent the dangers that require a present subsistance and present supply of the Army without which what is it will follow but the danger of the Citie the ruine of the Countries about the stopping up of the River which is almost taken from you and the Sea-coasts will be lost you cannot have better hearts then you have God hath enabled many of you with purses I hope it will be so readily disposed that we shall have a full joy in the recompence of it and the retribution which we shall all pray God to bring to passe and I hope you will bring to passe FINIS
