London Printed 1642. MASTER GLYN HIS Speech in Parliament on Wednesday the fift of Ianuary at the Committee sitting in Guild-Hall concerning the breaches of the Priviledges of Parliament by breaking open the Chambers Truncks and Studies of the six Gentlemen upon their accusation of high Treason by his Majestie 1641. Master Speaker VVEe sit now upon that Grand businesse of the breaches of the Rights and Priviledges of Parliament which are so many and great so carefully preserved and defended and having in former times severely punished the infringers thereof that I had thought and conceived that no Subject of what degree or dignity soever would either in their own persons or by mis-informing his Majesty concerning the same have presumed to have entrenched in the least measure upon the free Liberty Rights and very being of Parliaments tending to the breach thereof But Master Speaker I perceive the perversenesse and obstinate frowardnesse of divers persons in this Kingdome in places of power and authority as well of the Clergy as Layitie are growne to that height that they dare not only presume to instigate and provoke His sacred Majesty by their subtill and politicke mis-informations but themselves in their owne persons dare attempt if His Majesty in His royall wisedome tender care and affection towards his loyall subjects do refuse to do the same to endeavour as much as in them lyes by their malignant carriages in Petitions and Protestations to resist the lawfull power and undoubted Iurisdiction both of the King and his high Court of Parliament Master Speaker These men notwithstanding they apparantly perceive that their wicked Practises and malicious Designes cannot take effect according to their expectation but are rejected and detected aswell by his Sacred Majesty as his Lords and his whole Councell dare aventure to endeavour by casting aspersions and spreading abroad evill reports not onely of the Members but of the Proceedings of the House of Commons against them and others of their Adherents and Favourites in their wicked and desperate actions and designes against their lawfull Soveraigne and his Liege people I conceive Master Speaker did these persons but remember the many presidents yet extant of the just and deserved punishments inflicted by former Parliaments upon such miscreants as witnesse the Archbishop of Yorke the Duke of Suffolke Chiefe Iustice Belknap and the rest of that conspiracy in the raigne of K. Richard the 2. they would have prejudicated to themselves the like danger would follow upon them for their evill actions Nay Master Speaker did these men but consider with themselves the just Iudgements of God that have immediately lighted upon the necks of such as have beene the Troublers of Kingdomes and Common-wealths whereof they have beene members as well recorded in sacred writ as of late times in this Kingdome yet still in fresh memory they would have laid their hands upon their mouths and hearts when they went about to speake or doe any thing tending to the dishonour of Almighty God in innovating of his true Religion corrupting the sincere Doctrine and Discipline of Christ and his Apostles as also any thing tending to the dishonour and perpetuall destruction of his Royall Majesty and however otherwise they may pretend the fundamentall lawes and liberties of this Kingdome the rights and priviledges of Parliaments and the very being thereof but surely Master Speaker they are altogether benummed and stupified their consciences dead and seered their lives and conversation altogether devoted to the workes of darkenesse and impurity their desires altogether Sensuall Carnall and Divelish forgetting God kicking and spurring with maliciousnesse against all piety and godlinesse or else they would never have adventured to practise such things as it is too too manifest they have done Master Speaker I intend to bee briefe in that which I am to speake concerning the breaches of the priviledges of Parliament First to informe his Majesty of any proceedings in the House of Commons upon any businesse whatsoever before they have concluded finished and made ready the same to present to his Majesty for his Royall assent thereupon is a breach of the priviledges of Parliament Secondly to mis-informe his Majesty contrary to the proceedings in Parliament thereby to incense and provoke him against the same is a breach of priviledge of Parliament Thirdly to cause or procure any information or accusation to bee brought or preferred without the knowledge or consent of the Parliament into the House against any of the members thereof is a breach of priviledge of Parliament Fourthly to apprehend any such accused to imprison their persons to cease upon their goods or estates to prosecute and proceed against them to their triall and judgement to condemne or execute them upon such accusation without the consent or advice of the Parliament is a breach of the priviledges thereof Fiftly to endeavour to cast an evill opinion of such members accused into the hearts of His Majesties loyall Subjects whereby they dis-affecting them may be ready and willing to put in execution any command or warrant for their apprehension and imprisonment is a breach of the priviledges of Parliament Sixtly to come in open Parliament for any Officer or Sergeant to demand and arrest any such member accused be it of high Treason or any other crime whatsoever without the knowledge of the whole House is a breach of the priviledges of Parliament Seventhly to come to a Parliament sitting in free consultation assisted and guarded with Armed men and with them besetting the House to demand as it were vi armis such members accused is a breach of the priviledges of Parliament Lastly to procure to be set forth or to set forth under His Majesties name any Proclamation or Declaration prohibiting the repaire of such persons accused to the Parliament as members thereof and to apprehend them in what place soever they shall bee found without the advise and consent of the whole State assembled and sitting in free Parliament is a manifest breach of the priviledges thereof And this Master Speaker is all that I have to say concerning this dayes busines humbly leaving the same to the further consideration of this Honourable Assembly FINIS
