Sunday in Fair or open Market that this should be Void and she and the Goods forfeited to the Queens Use for that is a Contract At which all the House Laughed Mr. Bacon said Bacons Speech for Repealing superfluous Laws May it please you Mr. Speaker not out of Ostentation to this House but in Reverence I do speak it That I do much wonder to see the House so continually divided and to agree upon nothing to see many Laws here so well framed and Offences provided against and yet to have no better Success and Entertainment I do think every man in his particular bound to help the Common-wealth the best he may and better it is to venture a mans Credit by Speaking than to stretch a mans Conscience by Silence and to endeavor to make that good in Nature which is possible in Effect Laws be like Pills all gilt over which if they be easily and well swallowed down are neither bitter in digestion nor hurtful in the body every man knows that Time is the true Controuler of Laws and therefore there having been a great alteration of Time since the Repeal of a number of Laws I know and do assure my self there are many more than I know Laws both needless and dangerous I could therefore wish that as usually every Parliament there is a Committee selected for the Continuance of divers Statutes so the House would be pleased also that there might be a Committee for the Repeal of divers Statutes and of diverse superfluous Branches of Statutes And that every particular Member of the House would give Information to the Committees what Statutes he thinketh fitting to be Repealed or what Branch to be Superfluous lest as he said pluat super nos laqueas The more Laws we make the more Snares we lay to entrap our selves Upon which Motion a Committee was granted to meet on Friday On Saturday November 7.

Gentleman Serjeant Heale the last Parliament in a Bill of this nature moved to have an Exception or Proviso for all Serjeants A Motion made in Mirth it would please you to admit of a Proviso for all Lawyers At which the House Laughed heartily it being done for Mirth And divers Motions of the like nature were made On Thursday Decemb. 17. Sir Edward Hobby shewed The Parliament was now in the Wane and Order had been taken Touching the Information delivered to this House in Mr. Bellgraves Case but nothing done therein And as it seemeth by not taking out of the Process a Prosecution of the Cause is intended against the said Mr. Bellgrave I think it therefore fit because the chief scope of the said Information seemeth to be Touching a Dishonor offered to this House that it would please you that it might be put to the Question Whether he hath Offended this House yea or no If he hath he desireth to be Censured by you If he hath not it will be a good Motive to the Honourable here present who are Judges of that Court for their Satisfaction in cleering the Gentleman of that Offence when it comes before them Mr. Speaker moved the House That because the Parliament was like to end on Saturday it would please them to send the Bill of Ordnance to the Lords And that they might be moved to retain all private Bills in their Hands until the Ten Pounds or Five Pounds was paid according to our former Order So the House cried Mr. Secretary Cecil who went and did accordingly And then they proceeded in the Motion concerning Mr. Bellgrave Mr. Comptroller said I know the Gentleman to be an honest Gentleman and a good Servant to his Prince and Country And for his Offence to this House I think it very fit to clear him And do wish it may be put to the Question If it please you he may be cleared I will be ready to vouch your Sentence for his Offence to this House when it comes there But if any other Matter appears upon opening the Cause with That we have not to do withal Mr. Secretary Cecil said Touching this great Offence in the Country I have heard it spoken of diversly but for my own part I am rather apt to move Consideration against him that drew the Bill one Mr. Diott and that he should be well Punished who being a Member of this House should seek to diminish the Prerogative of this High Court of Parliament by praying Aid of the Star-Chamber for an Offence done to Us this Court Sitting And I desire that two things may be Considered First That the Gentleman Mr. Diott make an Apology for his Action in drawing of the Information And Secondly That this Gentleman Mr. Bellgrave may be cleared here which will be a good inducement to the Lords not to censure him heavily there Mr. Ravenscrost said The Gentleman Mr. Diott is holden in the Reputation of an honest Man And we ought not to proceed against a Fellow-Member till he be called It is not Apparent unto Us that he made it the Information is under Mr. Attornies Hand and therefore ought to be intended his for now it is of Record under his Hand against which we can receive no Averment of Speech of others other than the Gentleman 's own words viva vocae And that I think he will not confess And so there was no more said of this Matter It was put to the Question Whether he should be cleared of the Offence to the House Yea or No And all cried I I I but only Young Mr. Francis Grantham who gave a great No At whom the House Laughed and he Blushed Sir Francis Hastings said Sir Fr. Hastings against Extravagant Speeches Mr. Speaker Because I see the House at so good Leasure I will be bold to remember some Matters passed this Parliament and deliver my Opinion with desire of Reformation I mean not to Tax any Man Divers Speeches have been used concerning Justices of the Peace so Slanderous and Defamatory with so unwonted Epethites with such Slanderous Definitions a Testimony of Levity for the one and scant sound Judgment for the other And therefore I do humbly pray the Honourable here present that those Justices which serves Religiously Dutifully and Carefully may be Countenanced The Church and Common-Wealth are two Twins which Laugh and Live together Long have we joyed in Her Majesty's Happy Government and long may we We have two strong Enemies Rome and Spain from thence all our Rebellions have Proceeded and by Treasons Hatched there the Sacred Life of our Sweet Soveraign hath been sought and indangered The boldness of the Jesuits and Seminaries The Insolence of the Jesuits is greatly increased and they be very diligent to pervert which their often and ordinary Published Pamphlets to every Mans view well Testifieth and Apparently sheweth the Perversness of their Spirits and Corruptness of their Hearts And the Multitude being Perverted What Danger this may breed to the State and our Sovereign Queen Judge you For my part I am and will be ready to lay my Life at Her Feet to do Her Service We had need to have special Care of them for themselves do brag they have Forty Thousand true Hearted Catholiques for so they call them in England besides their retinue poor Catholiques and Neuters and I know not what It is therefore fit we look to this dangerous Case and not to think our selves secure because we find no harm For it is a true Position That Security without Providence is most Dangerous I conclude only with this desire that those who have Supream Authority will look that those who have inferior Government may do faithfully And that we may be kept in Obedience Mr. Wingfeild spake to the same effect And because it had pleased the House that the Clerks Servant should serve this Parliament in his Masters steed Mr. Onslowe who was sick that the House would in regard of his faithful Service and diligent attendance give Twelve Pence a piece or what they should think good every man in his discretion That Motion was liked and agreed to be gathered the next morning In the Afternoon A Bill for the Changing of the Surnames of William Waller Esquire A Bill to Change the Name of Wallers to Dibdens and his two Daughters and the Names of them that should Marry them into the Name of Dibden was Read the second time Serjeant Yelverton and Doctor Hone brought a Bill from the Lords Intituled An Act for Reformation of Deceipts and Frauds of certain Auditers and their Clerks in making of divers particulars Serjeant Harris spake to the Bill of Waller Serj.
