a Dog or a Cat as from the best Divine in England Pox Am I not a Lay-man And can I lay out my time in any thing better than Lay-learning Besides I am a Statesman I know nothing to the contrary but that I may state my Question then That as I am no Divine so that I may not medlde any more with Divinity I am no Ruler and therefore if they cannot learn the Wit to rule themselves let them be unruled for I have done my part with them Gentlemen I hold the Chancellorship a fitter place for my man Oldsworth or Mr. Peters than for my self and therefore if your Wisdomes think fit I desire to be discharged therefrom because the Self-denying Ordinance forbids as I take it to hold two Places in the Commonwealth therefore I desire to leave the one to the intent that I may minde and apply my self the better to the other Dam me I cannot serve two Masters the Church and the State too God and the Parliament If it please this Honourable House I conceive one Office is enough for one man therefore I shall betake my self onely to do my business in this House that the County that chose me may be the better for it Gentleme●● need not be ashamed to do my business in this House and was never backward ye know in any good Office and would strain my self as much for the good of the State as Alderman Atkins or any Member of you all and shall untruss my Purse-strings too upon any just and honest occasion Gentlemen as I have always lov'd you dearly so I hope you will love me again for my great Affection to you should draw your great Affection to me And indeed we are Brethren and Brethren ought to love and agree with one another Dam me the very Devils can agree with one another and cannot we Z'blood are we worse than Devils Our Grand Enemy the King is now cut off and must we needs be Enemies to one another and cut off one another too Believe me Lilburne deserves to be hang'd and Overton to be turn'd over the Ladder and Prince the Cheesemonger to be serv'd in the same kinde as the Prince of Wales that they dare be so impudent bold as to tax the Parliament or the Council of State with Injustice or Tyranny Dam me 't is at least Treason and Nonsence but to think so and Sink me 't is a thousand times worse to say so or to write so and shew the People Reason for it too A Pox of all Reasons and Reasonings for me I never lov'd it in all my life 'Zounds Break a mans Head and give him a Reason for it as the Scot serv'd me when he switch'd me over the Face broke my Head with my own Staff of Office and then gave me a Reason for it and that was all the Satisfaction I could have for that Affront Dam me I hate a Scot as I hate a Reason and hate a Reason as I hate the Devil Reasoning is neither better nor worse than Treating and we all know Treating is a Malignant and an Enemy to the State And if the Treaty had taken effect Z'blood we might all have been Hang'd and Damn'd before this No Reason is dangerous in a State neither is the State bound to render any Reason to Lilburne Overton or any body else for their Actions or whatever they do Had it not been for Reasoning we had settled the Supream Authority on the People long ago and then we had had Peace and a setled State How simple is it to think that a Parliament is unjust or can erre That 's a likely matter indeed No Parliaments are chosen by the People because they cannot erre Kings may erre as David and the late King did But when did you ever read In the Bible that a Parliament could erre or had erred And thus I hope I have given you Satisfaction in this Point For this your Act of Leavying Money I give you my free consent Pray what can be done without Money Dam me Souldiers that fight for Money must have Money and though I am no Souldier my self yet Dam me I love a Souldier with all my heart and he that fights for Money let him win Money and Sink me if he wins it let him wear it too Z'blood where should we have Money for Souldiers but of the Countries and Cities whom they fight to preserve unless they would have us pay them out of our own Estates But surely there is none in this Honourable House but has more frugality or at least more wit than to part with any of their own Estates do we not labour and spend our time for the good of the Common-wealth and shall the Common-wealth deny to spend their Money for us Z'blood time is precious Mr. Speaker and God refuse me we have spent a long time in their service at least eight years and cannot so much as have a good word for our pains Ram me Sink me and Dam me it were a good deed to give over and leave them to themselves and then we should have a Kingdome well Govern'd Dam me I am out of breath and therefore will conclude my Speech Your Affectionate Servant Pembrook and Montgomery Vera Copia FINIS
