not wel whether in that which he had already said● out of an extreme Desire to give us satisfaction He had not communicated more particulars then perhaps was requisite Neverthelesse he confessed● that sometimes Parliaments have been made acquainted with Matter of Warr and Peace in a generallity But it was upon one of ●hese Two Motives When the King and Counsell conceived That either it was Materiall to have some Declaration of the zeal and Affection of the People Or else when the King needed to demand Moneys and Aides for the Charge of the Warrs Wherin if Things did sort to Warre we were sure enough to hear of it His Lordship hoping that his Majesty would find in us no lesse readiness to support it then to perswade it Now Mr. Speaker for the last part Wherein his Lordship considered the Petition As it was recommended from us to the upper House His Lordship delivered thus much from their Lor●ships That they would make a good Construction of our Desires As those which they conceived did rather spring out of a Feeling of the Kings Strength And out of a Feeling of the Subjects Wrongs Nay more out of a Wisdome and Depth to declare our forwardness if need were to assist his Majesties future Resolutions which Declaration might be of good use ●or his Majesties Service when it should be blown abroad Rather I say then that we did in any sort determine by this their Overture to do that wrong to his Highness Supreme Power Which happily might be inferred by those that were rather apt to make evill then good Illations of our proceeding And yet that their Lordships for the reasons before made most plainly tell us That they neither could nor would concur with us nor approve the course And therefore concluded That it would not be amiss for us for our better Contentment to behold the Conditions of the last Peace with Spain which were of a strange nature to him that duely observes them No Forces recalled out of the Low-Conntries No new Forces as to Voluntaries restrained to go thither So as the King may be in peace and never a Subject in England but may be in War And then to think thus with our selves That that King which would give no ground in making his Peace will not loose any Ground upon just p●ovocation to enter into an Honourable War And that in the meane time we should know thus much that there could not be more forcible Negotiation on the Kings part but Blowes to procure Remedy of those wrongs Nor more fair promises on the King of Spaines part to give contentment concerning the same And therefore that the Event must be expected And thus Mr. Speaker have I passed over the Speech of this worthy Lord whose Speeches as I have often said in regard of his place and Judgement are extraordinary Lights to this House And have both the properties of Light That is Conducting and Comforting And although Mr. Speaker a Man would have thought nothing had been left to be said Yet I shall now give you account of another Speech full of excellent Matter and Ornaments And without Iteration Which neverthelesse I shall report more compendiously Because I will not offer the Speech that wrong as to report it at large when your minds per-case and Attentions are already wearied The other Earl who usually doth bear a principall part upon all important Occasions used a Speech first of Preface then of Argument In his Preface he did deliver that he was perswaded that both Houses did differ rather in Credulity and Belief then in Intention and Desire For it mought be their Lorships did not believe the Information so far but yet desired the Reformation as much His Lordship said further● that the Merchant was a State and Degree of persons Not only to be respected but to be prayed for And graced them with the best Additions That they were the Convoyes of our supplies The Vents of our Abundance Neptunes Almesmen and Fortunes Adventurers His Lordship proceeded and said This Question was new to us but antient to them Assuring us that the King did not beare in vaine the Devise of the Thistle with the word Nemo me lasce●cit impunè And that as the Multiplying of his Kingdomes maketh him feel his own Power So the Multiplying of our Loves and Affections made him to feel our Griefs For the Arguments or Reasons they were Five in number which his Lordship used for satisfying us why their Lordships might not concur with us● in this Petition The first was the Composition of our House which he took in the first foundation thereof to be meerly Democraticall Consisting of Knights of Shires and Burgesses of Townes And intended to be of those that have their Residence Vocation and Employment in the places for which they serve And therefore to have a private and locall wisedom according to that Compasse And so not fit to examine or determine Secrets of Estate● which depend upon such Variety of Circumstances And therefore added to the President formerly vouched of the 17. of King Richard the 2d When the Commons disclaimed to intermeddle in matter of War and Peace That their Answer was that they would not presume to treat of so high and variable a Matter And although his Lordship acknowledged That there be divers Gentlemen in the Mixture of our House That are of good Capacity and Insight in Matters of Estate yet that was the Accident of the Person and not the Intentention of the place And Things were to be taken in the Institution not in the Practice His Lordships second Reason was That both by Philosophy and Civill Law Ordinatio Belli pacis est absoluti Imperij A principall Flower of the Crown Which Flowers ought to be so dear unto us as we ought if need were to water them with our Blood For if those Flowers should by neglect or upon facility and good affection wither and fall the Garland would not be worth the wearing His Lordships third Reason was That Kings did so love to imitate Trimum Mobile as that they do not like to move in borrowed Motions So that in those things that they do most willingly intend yet they indure not to be prevented by Request Whereof he did alledge a notable Example in King Edward the 3d. who would not hearken to the Petition of his Commons that besought him to make the Black Prince Prince of Wales But yet after that Repulse of their Petition out of his own meer Motion he created him His Lordships fourth Reason was That it mought be some scandall to step between the King and his own Vertue And that it was the Duty of Subjects Rather to take honours from Kings Servants and give them to Kings then to take honours from Kings and give them to their Servants Which he did very elegantly set forth in the Example of Ioab who lying at the Siege of Rabbah And finding it could not hold out writ to David to

enterlace a word or two of the Quality of the Vndertakers wherein my Opinion simply is that if your Majesty shall make these Portions of Land which are to be Planted as Rewards or as Suits or as Fortunes● for those that are in want And are likest to seek after them That they will not be able to go through with the Charge of good substantiall Plantations But will Desicere in Opere medio And then this Work will succeed as Tacitus saith Acribus i●i●i●s Fine incurioso So that this must rather be an Adventure f●r such as are full Then a setting up of those that are low of Means For those Men are fit indeed to perform these Vndertakings Which were fit to purchase dry Reversions after Lives or years Or such as were fit to put out Money upon long Returns I do not say but that I think the Vndertakers themselves will be glad to have some Captains or Men of Service intermixed among them for their safety But I speak of the Generality of Vndertakers which I wish were Men of Estate and Plenty Now therefore it followeth well to speak of the aforesaid three Motives For it will appear the more how necessary it is to allure by all means Vndertakers Since those Men will be least ●it which are like to be most in Appetite of themselves And those most fit which are like least to desire it First therefore for Pleasure in this Region or Tract of Soyl there is no Warm Winters nor Orenge Trees nor strange Beasts or Birds or other Points of Curiosity or Pleasure as there are in the Indies ●nd the like So as there can be found no Foundation made upon Mat●er of Pleasure otherwise then that the very Desire of Novel●y and Experiment in some stirring Natures may work somewhat And therefore it is the other two Points of Honour and Pr●fit whereupon we are wholly to r●st For Honour or Coun●enance if I shall mention to your Maj●sty whether in wisdome you shall think convenient the better to expresse your Affection to the Enterprise and for a Pledge there of to adde ●he Earldome of Vlster to the Princes Titles I shall but learn it out of the practice of King Edward the First Who first used the like course as a mean the better to restrain the ●●untrey of Wales And I take it the Prince of Spain hath the Addition of a Province in the Kingdome of Naples And other Pr●si●ents I think there are and it is like to put more life and Enc●uragement into the Vndertakers Also considering the large Territories which are to be Planted it is not unlike your Majes●y will think of raising some Nobili●y there which if it be done meerly upon new Titles of Dignity havi●g no manner of Reference to the Old And if it be done also without putting to many Portions into one Hand And lastly if it be done without any great Franchises or Commands I do not see any Perill can ensue thereof As on the other side it may draw some Persons of great Estate and Means into the Ac●ion ●o the great Furtherance and Supply of the charges ●hereof And lastly for Knighthood to such Persons as have not attained it Or otherwise Knighthood with some new Difference and Precedence It may no doubt work with Many And if any Man think that these Things which I propound are Aliquid nimis for the ●roportion of this Action I confesse plainly that if your Majesty will have it really and effectually performed My Opinion is you cannot bestow too much Sunshine upon it For Lunae Radiis non maturescit Botrus Thus much for Honour For Pr●●it it will consist in Three parts Fi●st the ●asie Rates that your Majesty shall be pleased to give the Vndertakers of the Land they shall receive Secondly the Liberties which you may be pleased to con●er ●pon them When I speak of Liberties I mean not Libert●es of ●urisdiction As Counties palatine or the like which it seemeth hath been the Errour of the ancient Donations and Pla●tations in that Coun●ry But I mean only Liberties tending to Commodity As Liber●y to transport any of the Commodities growing upon the Coun●ry new Planted Liberty to Import from hence all Things appertaining to their necessary use Custome free Liberty to take Timber or other Materialls in yo●r Majesties Woods there and the like The Third is Ease of Charge That the whole Masse of Charge doth not rest upon the Private Purse of the Undertakers For the Two Former of these I will pass them over because in the Project which with good diligence and providence hath been presented to your Majesty● by your Ministers of that Kingdome they are in my Opinion well handled For the Third I will never despaire but that the Parliament of England if it may perceive that this Action is not a Flash but a Solid and Setled pursuit will give aid to a Worke so Religious so Politique and so Profitable And the Distribution of Charge if it be o●served falleth naturally into Three Kindes of Charge And every of those Charge● respectively ought to have his proper Fountain and Issue For as there proceedeth from your Majesties Royall Boun●y and Munificence the Gift of the Land And the other Materialls Together with the Endowment of Liberties And as the Charge which is Private As Building of Houses St●cking of Grounds Victuall and the like is to rest upon the Particular Vndertakers So whatsoever is Publicke As Building of Churches Walling of Townes Town-Houses Bridges Cawsies or High-wayes and the like Ought not so properly to lye upon particular Persons but to come from the Publicke Estate of this Kingdom To which this Work is like to return so great an Addition of Glory Strength and Commodity For the Project it self I shall need to speak the lesse in regard it is so considerately digested already for the County of Tyrone And Therefore my Labour shall be but in those Things wherein I shall either Adde to or Dissent from that which is set down Which will include Five Points or Articles First ●hey mention a Commission for this Plantation Which of all Things is most necessary both to Direct and Appease Controversie● and the like To this I adde Two Propositions The one that which perhaps is meant though not expressed That the Commissioners should for certain times reside and abide in some Habitable Town of Ireland near in Distance to the Country where the Plantation shall be To the end Both that they may be more at Hand for the Execution of the Parts of their Commission And withall it is like by drawing of Concourse of People and Trades Men to such Townes it will be some Help and Commodity to the Vndertakers for Things they shall stand in need of And likewise it will be a more safe place of Receit and Store wherein to Unlade and Deposite such Provisions as are after to be employed The Second is that your Majesty would make a Correspondency between the Commission
