will quickly get their purses Parlement encreaseth love and good intelligence ' twixt him and his people it acquaints him with the reality of things and with the true state and diseases of his Kingdome it brings him to the knowledg of his better sort of Subjects and of their abilities which he may employ accordingly upon all occasions it provides for his Royall Issue payes his debts finds means to fill his Coffers And it is no ill observation The Parlementary-moneys the great Aid have prospered best with the Kings of England it exceedingly raiseth his repute abroad and enableth him to keep his foes in feare his Subjects in awe his Neighbours and Confederates in security the three main things which go to aggrandize a Prince and render him glorious In sum it is the Parlement that supports and bears up the honour of his Crown and settles his Throne in safety which is the chief end of all their consultations For whosoever is intrusted to be a Member of this High Court carrieth with him a double capacity he fits there as a Patriot and as a Subject As he is the one the Countrey is his object his duty being to vindicate the Publike Liberty to make wholsom Laws to put his hand to the pump and stop the leaks of the great vessell of the State to pry into and punish corruption and oppression to improve and advance trade to have the grievances of the place he serves for redressed and cast about how to find somthing that may tend to the advantage of it But he must not forget that he sits ther also as a S●●●●ct and according to that capacity he must apply himse●● to do his Soveraigns busines to provide not onely ●●r his publike but his personal wants to bear up the lustre and glory of his Court to consider what occasions of extraordinary expences he may have by encrease of Royall Issue or maintenance of any of them abroad to enable him to vindicate any affront or indignity that might be offered to his Person Crown or Dignity by any forrain State or Kingdom to consult what may enlarge his honour contentment and pleasure And as the French Tacitus Comines hath it the English Nation was used to be more forward and zealous in this particular than any other according to that ancient eloquent speech of a great Lawyers Domus Regis vigilia defendit omnium otium illius labor omnium deliciae illius industria omnium vacatio illius occupatio omnium salus illius periculum omnium honor illius objectum omnium Every one should stand Centinell to defend the Kings Houses his safety should be the danger of all his pleasures the industry of all his ease should be the labour of all his honour the object of all Out of these premisses this conclusion may be easily deduced that The principal Founntain whence the King derives his happines and safety is his Parlement It is that great Conduit-Pipe which conveighs unto him his peoples bounty and gratitude the truest Looking-Glasse wherein he discerns their loves now the Subjects love hath bin alwayes accounted the prime Cittadel of a Prince In his Parlement he appears as the Sun in the Meridian in the altitude of his glory in his highest State Royal as the Law tels us Therfore whosoever is avers or disaffected to this Soveraign Law making Court cannot have his heart well planted within him He can be neither good Subject nor good Patriot and therfore unworthy to breathe English air or have any benefit advantage or protection from the Laws Sectio Secunda BY that which hath been spoken which is the language of my heart I hope no indifferent judicious Reader will doubt of the cordiall affection of the high respects and due reverence I bear to Parlement as being the wholsomest constitution and done by the highest and happiest reach of policy that ever was established in this Island to perpetuate the happines therof Therfore I must tell that Gentleman who was Author of a Book entituled The Popish Royall Favorite lately Printed and exposed to the world that he offers me very hard measure nay he doth me apparent wrong to tearm me therin No frend to Parlement and a Malignant A character which as I deserve it not so I disdain it For the first part of his charge I would have him know that I am as much a frend and as real an affectionate humble servant votary to the Parlement as possibly he can be and will live and die with these affections about me And I could wish that he were Secretary of my thoughts a while or if I may take the boldnes to apply that comparison His late Majestie used in a famous speech to one of his Parlements I could wish ther were a Crystall VVindow in my Brest through which the world might espie the inward motions and palpitations of my heart then would he be certified of the sincerity of this protestation For the second part of his charge to be a Malignant I must confesse to have som Malignity that lurks within me much against my will but it is no malignity of mind it is amongst the humours not in my intellectuals And I beleeve there is no naturall man let him have his humours never so well ballanced but hath som of this malignity reigning within him For as long as we are composed of the four Elements whence these humours are derived and with whom they symbolize in qualities which Elements the Philosophers hold to be in a restlesse contention amongst themselves and the Stoick thought that the world subsisted by this innate mutuall strife as long I say as the four humours in imitation of their principles the Elements are in perpetuall reluctancy and combate for praedominancy ther must be some malignity lodg'd within us as adusted choler and the like whereof I had late experience in a dangerous fit of sicknes it pleased God to lay upon me which the Physitians told me proceeded from the malignant hypocondriacal effects of melancholy having been so long in this Saturnine black condition of close imprisonment and buried a live between the VVals of this fatal Fleet These kinds of malignities I confes are very rife in me and they are not onely incident but connaturall to every man according to his complexion And were it not for this incessant strugling and enmity amongst the humours for mastery which produceth such malignant effects in us our souls would be loth ever to depart from our bodies or to abandon this mansion of clay Now what malignity my Accuser means I know not if he means malignity of spirit as som antipathy or ill impression upon the mind arising from disaffection hatred or rancor with a desire of some destructive revenge he is mightily deceiv'd in me I malign or hate no Creature that ever God made but the Devill who is the Author of all malignity and therfore is most commonly called in French le Malin Asprit the malignant spirit
