THE SPEECH OF Sr. HARBOTTLE GRIMSTON BARONET SPEAKER Of the Honorable House of COMMONS To the KINGS most Excellent Majesty Delivered in the banqueting-Banquetting-House at Whitehal 29 May 1660 The MEMBERS of that House being there present London Printed by Edward Husbands and Thomas Newcomb Printers to the Commons House of Parliament 1660. The SPEECH of Sir HARBOTTLE GRIMSTON Baronet Speaker of the Honorable House of Commons to the Kings most Excellent Majesty delivered in the Banquetting-House at Whitehal May 29 1660. The Members of that House being then present Most Gracious and Dread Soveraigne IF all the Reason and Eloquence that is dispersed in so many several heads and tongues as are in the whole World were conveyed into my Bra●ne and united in my Tongue yet I should want sufficiency to discharge that great task I am now enioined The restitution of your Majesty to the exercise of Your just and most indubitable Native Right of Soveraignty and the deliverance of your people from Bondage and Slavery hath been wrought out and brought to pass by a miraculous way of Divine Providence beyond and above the reach and comprehension of our understandings and therefore to be admired impossible to be expressed God hath been pleased to train your Majesty up in the School of affliction where You have learnt that excellent Lesson of Patience so well and improved it so much for the good of your people that we have all just cause for ever to bless God for it and We doubt not but your Name is Registred in the Records of Heaven to have a place in the highest from amongst those Glorious Martyrs of whom it is reported that through Faith in Christ and Patience in their Sufferings they converted their very Tormentors and conquered those Barbarous bloody Tyrants under whom they then suffered insomuch as they themselves were many times inforced to confess and cry out Sat est vicisti Gallilaeus They had their vicisti and that deservedly but Your Majesty must have a treble vicisti for with the same Weapons Faith and Patience You have overcome and conquered the Hearts and Affections of all Your people in Three great Nations the Hearts and Affections of all that are worthy the name of good Christians or reasonable men 'T is God and God alone to whom be the Glory that hath made Your Majesty so great a Conqueror indeed your conquest is incomparable no story can instance the like or furnish us with an Example to paralel it withal 'T was a Use and Custom amongst the Romans when any of their Commanders had done eminent Services abroad at their Returns to honor them with Triumphs and rideing through their streets there they received the Praises and Applauses of the people with this Inscription upon their Laurel Crowns Vincenti Dabitur But your Majesties victory is of another nature and as it differs much from theirs in the quality of it so your Triumph must differ as much from theirs in the manner of it They conquered bodies but your Majesty hath conquered Souls they conquered for the Honor and good of themselves but Your Majesty hath conquered for the Honor and good of your people they conquered with force but your Majesty hath conquered with Faith they conquered with Power but your Majesty hath conquered with Patience and therefore God himself hath written your Motto and inscrib'd it upon your Royal Crown Patienti Dabitur Their Triumphs were in narrow streets but your Majesties Triumphs must be in large hearts their Triumphs lasted but for a day but your Majesties Triumph must last for all your days and after that to triumph in Heaven to all Eternity I have read of a Duke of Burgundy who was called Carolus Audax the Historian tells us that his Father was called Carolus Bonus an Observator hath this note upon it That Goodness doth ever produce Boldness Sir you are the true Son of such a good Father and so long as You serve our good God He who is goodness it self will give you Boldness a Princely vertue and the best foil Your Majesty can use to set out the true lustre of all your other most eminent and lovely Graces Most Royal Soveraigne I have yet a few words more and to doubt your Patience who is the mirror of Patience were to commit a Crime unpardonable and fit to be excepted out of that Act of Olivion which your Majesty hath so graciously tendred unto your people therefore with an humble confidence I shall presume to acquaint your Majesty that I have it further in command to present you at this time with a Petition of Right and humbly upon my bended knees to beg your Royal assent thereunto Sir it hath already passed two great Houses Heaven and Earth and I have vox Populi and vox Dei to warrant this bold demand It is That Your Majesty would be pleased to remove your Throne of State and to set it up in the Hearts of Your people and as You are deservedly the King of Hearts there to receive from your people a Crown of Hearts Sir this Crown hath three excellent and rare Properties 't is a sweet Crown 't is a fast Crown and 't is a lasting Crown 't is a sweet Crown for 't is perfumed with nothing but the incense of Prayers and Praises and 't is a fast Crown for t is set upon Your Royal Head by him who only hath the power of Hearts the King of Kings and 't is a lasting Crown Your Majesty can never wear it out for the longer you wear this Crown it will be the hetter for the wearing and it is the hearty desires and most earnest Prayers of all your Loyal Loveing and Faithful Subjects that You may never change that Crown till you change it for a better a Crown of Eternal Glory in the highest Heavens and the Lord say Amen FINIS
