SIR Beniamin Rudyard HIS Learned Speech in Parliament on Wednesday being the twenty ninth day of December 1641. Concerning the Treatie with the Scottish Commissioners about the Irish affairs VVith the Letts and Impediments that have hindred the Proceedings of the Parliament therein As also the removeall of the Papists from Court and all Popish officers from severall places of imployment within this Kingdome Printed at London for Iohn Thomas 1641. SIR Beniamin Rudyard his Speech in Parliament made on Wednesday the twenty ninth day of December concerning the treatie with the Scottish Commissioners about the Irish affaires and the Letts and impediments that have hindred the proceedings of the Parliament therein Master Speaker THis day is appointed for our giveing our resolution in our request to the Scottish Commissioners concerning their assistance of and for the Irish affaires I desire Sir to speake somwhat under favour concerning the same Wee see the danger and necessity of our aide they are in and wee have had much hinderance in our expediting of our assistance for that service which I intend to remember you off The first Lett or impediment that hath hindred our proceedings in that businesse is the disagreement between the two houses or the causes of their disagreement I perswade my selfe is the Bishops and such Lords as favour them and I conceive that unlesse they bee speedily brought to tryall and by the sword of Iustice taken out of the way those that shall be so Condemned by the Parliament and the rest of them with those Lords that favour them may bee removed from the presence of his Majestie by whom hee is mis-councelled and his minde somewhat averted from Complying so willingly with the Parliament as otherwise it is conceaved hee would bee this Statute cannon bee secure from great danger Secondly a second Lett is the dirision and often disagreement amongst our selves not knowne these many yeares in Parliament of former yeares Thirdly the multiplicity of Petitions daily delivered to the House irregularly taking up a great deale of time in answering Fourthly the great danger this Kingdome is in through the practizes of Priests and Iesuites and all of the Popish Religion is a maine cause of the slow proceedings in the Irish affaires The Parliament Pollitiquely concerning that it was most necessary to provide first for the security of this Kingdom whereof they be the chiefest before allyances and in doing that they have spent a great deale of time and I wish our consultations resolutions and lawes we make may be the firme setlement in good order all things that are amisse both in Church and State Fiftly the delay in execution of the Priests lately condemned hinders somewhat our proceedings in that businesses Sixtly the not removing of those popish officers in this state that have places of great trust and strength committed to their fidelity as Townes Forts Castles Magazines Colloneles Captaines Livetennants and other officers of warre which puts this Kingdome in as much danger as Ireland if God in mercy do not defend it giving such wisedome and Courage to the wise Councell of the state that they may by degrees remove such dangerous officers and place good Protestants in their roome which I wish withall my heart may be done in time for feare wee have not cause to repent their injoyments of such places But Master Speaker it may be obiected that many of the Popish religion are very faithfull and loyall to the Crowne of England and his Maiesty having found their fidelity preferred them and doubtlesse all of them are not perfidious though many be refractory and willing to increase theire number in their religion and likewise many officers in this Kingdome that are not Papists but professe themselves Protestants have beene as treacherous to their King and Countrey as recusants yet Neverlesse they confesse that it is necessary Papists be removed and Protestants intrusted with their places But Sir under favour I conceive it more then necessarily of absolute necessity to remove such as are not inclined towards the Protestants Religion for I could give you many instances by woefull experience of the treacherous stratagems that have beene attempted against not onely the persons of the Princes of this Kingdome that have beene Protestants by Papists and the favourers of that part but also against the whole State to bring it to confussion and place themselves and their religion herein The records of King Henry the eight King Edward the sixth Queene Elizabeth and in the raigne of our late peaceable Solomon of blessed memory King Iames doe sufficiently testifie whereas you finde not one to twenty Protestants have done the like besides the present troubles in Ireland altogether raised by the Papists and others in that Kingdom also raised by the practise of the Priests and Iesuites I could also instance many of their treacherous designes against the persons of Peers Noblemen Barons Knights also against severall Parliaments in this kingdom divers perticular members therof which most of this House know right-well Therefore Master Speaker I could wish there might not bee soe many suffered to inhabite this Kingdome as doe put those that are not natives might bee banished if they refuse to be conformable to the Lawes of this Land which is my humble motion And now Master Speaker haueing given you a short touch of such Impediments as haue hitherto hindered our proceedings in these Irish Affaires which is our busines for this day I shall humbly desire noe longer time may bee protracted in our determination of the Scots propositions being as I conceive reasonable to bee agreed unto but that wee may determine of the same and send up to the Lords for theire Concurrence with us in the same feare our protraction of further time heerein may prove of such dangerous effect that wee may not have cause to repent the same and that then all our Endeavours prove of little availe towards their releife and although the Gentlman that last spake concerning other Impediments of the unseasonable repaire of tumultvous persons is a great hinderance to us in expediting the same Yet let them bee noe further cause of our delay heerein but haveing taken order for theire suppressing wee Cheerefully proceed in prosecution of our designes for the speedie settling of the most waightiest affaiers of this Kingdome in Church and Common-wealth FINIS
