B05938	A speech against pensioners		1700 (1700)	Wing S4852AA; ESTC T201693	2,741	5

a_o speech_n against_o pensioner_n without_o doubt_n the_o last_o parliament_n have_v great_a matter_n in_o agitation_n and_o the_o enquiry_n they_o make_v about_o the_o pensioner_n of_o the_o precede_a parliament_n be_v no_o small_a one_o but_o rather_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a thing_n they_o have_v in_o hand_n for_o have_v they_o be_v permit_v to_o have_v perfect_v that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o good_a recompense_n for_o the_o disappointment_n which_o the_o nation_n sustain_v in_o their_o other_o expectation_n by_o the_o sudden_a prorogation_n and_o without_o all_o question_n nothing_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o parliament_n than_o to_o take_v into_o consideration_n how_o to_o punish_v they_o that_o have_v prove_v the_o pest_n and_o have_v almost_o if_o not_o altogether_o ruine_v the_o nation_n and_o how_o to_o prevent_v the_o like_a mischief_n for_o the_o future_a the_o name_n of_o a_o pensioner_n be_v very_o distasteful_a to_o every_o english_a spirit_n and_o all_o those_o who_o be_v pensioner_n i_o think_v be_v sufficient_o despise_v by_o their_o country_n man_n and_o therefore_o i_o mention_v only_o two_o or_o three_o thing_n that_o will_v lie_v at_o their_o door_n before_o i_o offer_v my_o advice_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v breach_n of_o trust_n be_v account_v the_o most_o infamous_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o this_o these_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o to_o the_o high_a degree_n robbery_n and_o steal_v our_o law_n punish_v with_o death_n and_o what_o deserve_v they_o who_o beggar_n and_o take_v away_o all_o that_o the_o nation_n have_v under_o the_o pretention_n of_o dispose_n of_o the_o people_n money_n for_o the_o honour_n and_o good_a of_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n and_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o than_o this_o to_o be_v say_v without_o doubt_n they_o deserve_v a_o high_a censure_n beside_o the_o give_v away_o such_o vast_a sum_n without_o any_o colour_n or_o reasonable_a pretence_n there_o be_v this_o great_a mischief_n will_v follow_v upon_o it_o every_o man_n very_o well_o know_v that_o it_o have_v put_v the_o king_n into_o a_o extraordinary_a way_n of_o expense_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o have_v not_o such_o great_a supply_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n bring_v he_o into_o great_a want_n and_o need_v and_o shall_v not_o only_o give_v he_o a_o ill_a opinion_n of_o all_o parliament_n that_o do_v not_o supply_v he_o so_o extravagant_o but_o perhaps_o put_v he_o to_o think_v of_o way_n to_o get_v money_n that_o otherwise_o will_v never_o have_v enter_v into_o his_o thought_n so_o that_o whatever_o ill_o may_v happen_v of_o this_o sort_n these_o pensioner_n be_v answerable_a for_o it_o furthermore_o they_o have_v lay_v we_o open_a to_o all_o our_o enemy_n whoever_o will_v invade_v may_v not_o doubt_v to_o subdue_v we_o for_o they_o have_v take_v from_o we_o the_o sinew_n of_o war_n that_o be_v money_n and_o courage_n all_o our_o money_n be_v go_v and_o they_o have_v exhaust_v the_o treasure_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o when_o people_n be_v poor_a their_o spirit_n be_v low_a so_o that_o we_o be_v leave_v without_o a_o defence_n and_o who_o must_v we_o thank_v for_o bring_v we_o into_o this_o despicable_a condition_n but_o these_o gentleman_n who_o notwithstanding_o this_o have_v the_o face_n to_o style_v themselves_o his_o majesty_n friend_n and_o all_o those_o who_o oppose_v their_o practice_n be_v factious_a and_o seditious_a they_o have_v bring_v it_o to_o that_o pass_n that_o debate_n can_v not_o be_v free_a if_o a_o gentleman_n tongue_n happen_v to_o lie_v a_o little_a awry_o in_o his_o mouth_n present_o he_o must_v be_v call_v to_o the_o bar_n or_o if_o that_o will_v not_o do_v whensoever_o any_o gentleman_n that_o have_v a_o true_a english_a spirit_n happen_v to_o say_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v bold_a present_o away_o to_o tell_v his_o majesty_n of_o it_o and_o often_o time_n more_o than_o the_o truth_n and_o thus_o they_o endeavour_v to_o get_v a_o ill_a opinion_n in_o his_o majesty_n of_o his_o best_a subject_n and_o their_o practice_n be_v the_o more_o abominable_a because_o their_o word_n and_o action_n give_v the_o occasion_n to_o force_v those_o smart_a expression_n from_o the_o gentleman_n that_o speak_v they_o for_o their_o honest_a heart_n be_v fire_v with_o true_a zeal_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o country_n when_o they_o behold_v the_o impudence_n and_o falseness_n of_o these_o pensioner_n as_o for_o example_n we_o find_v that_o in_o or_o about_o the_o 10_o year_n of_o richard_z 2_o of_o england_n it_o be_v endeavour_v to_o get_v a_o corrupt_a parliament_n for_o the_o english_a story_n say_v that_o the_o king_n seat_n far_o the_o justice_n and_o sheriff_n and_o enjoin_v they_o to_o do_v their_o best_a that_o none_o shall_v be_v choose_v knight_n and_o burgess_n but_o such_o as_o the_o king_n and_o his_o council_n shall_v name_v but_o we_o find_v it_o can_v not_o be_v effect_v the_o next_o that_o occur_v to_o my_o thought_n be_v that_o in_o the_o four_o year_n of_o henry_n four_o the_o parliament_n that_o be_v call_v at_o coventry_n name_v the_o layman_n parliament_n for_o the_o sheriff_n be_v appoint_v that_o none_o shall_v be_v choose_v knight_n or_o burgess_n that_o have_v any_o skill_n in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n the_o next_o that_o i_o remember_v be_v that_o in_o henry_n 4'_v time_n in_o the_o year_n 1449_o or_o 50_o when_o the_o duke_n of_o suffolk_n be_v accuse_v by_o the_o commons_o and_o commit_v to_o the_o tower_n the_o king_n dissolve_v that_o parliament_n not_o far_o unlike_o our_o case_n of_o my_o lord_n d_o but_o it_o differ_v in_o this_o that_o suffolk_n be_v commit_v to_o the_o tower_n as_o of_o right_o he_o ought_v but_o we_o be_v deny_v that_o justice_n against_o d_o only_o henry_n make_v the_o case_n thus_o far_o even_o that_o he_o set_v suffolk_n at_o liberty_n after_o he_o have_v dissolve_v that_o parliament_n soon_o after_o a_o parliament_n be_v call_v wherein_o great_a care_n be_v take_v in_o choose_v of_o parliament_n man_n that_o shall_v favour_v suffolk_n but_o they_o so_o far_o fail_v of_o their_o purpose_n that_o his_o appearance_n at_o the_o parliament_n give_v great_a distaste_n to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o they_o be_v so_o far_o incense_v that_o they_o begin_v the_o parliament_n with_o a_o fresh_a accusation_n against_o he_o and_o other_o so_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o alwise_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o court_n continual_o to_o corrupt_v the_o member_n of_o parliament_n in_o the_o time_n of_o henry_n 8_o about_o the_o 20_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n when_o the_o parliament_n be_v active_a against_o pluralitys_n and_o non_fw-fr residence_n there_o be_v a_o act_n pass_v to_o release_v to_o the_o the_o king_n all_o such_o sum_n of_o money_n as_o he_o have_v borrow_v at_o the_o loan_n in_o the_o 15_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v much_o oppose_v but_o the_o reason_n that_o be_v give_v why_o it_o pass_v be_v 〈◊〉_d the_o house_n be_v most_o the_o king_n servant_n but_o it_o give_v great_a disturbance_n to_o the_o nation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a case_n that_o i_o can_v remember_v that_o come_v any_o thing_n near_o to_o our_o pensioner_n but_o 〈◊〉_d can_v find_v that_o they_o or_o any_o parliament_n take_v money_n to_o vote_n so_o that_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o pension●●●_n in_o parliament_n till_o this_o pack_n of_o blade_n be_v get_v together_o therefore_o sir_n what_o will_v you_o do_v shall_v these_o man_n escape_v shall_v they_o go_v free_a with_o their_o booty_n shall_v not_o the_o nation_n have_v vengeance_n on_o they_o who_o have_v almost_o give_v up_o the_o government_n it_o be_v they_o who_o have_v pervert_v the_o end_n of_o parliament_n parliament_n have_v be_v and_o be_v the_o great_a r●fuge_n of_o the_o nation_n that_o which_o cure_v all_o its_o disease_n and_o heal_v it_o sore_n but_o the_o man_n have_v make_v it_o a_o snare_n to_o the_o nation_n and_o at_o best_a have_v bring_v it_o to_o be_v a_o engine_n to_o give_v money_n it_o therefore_o these_o go_v away_o unpunished_a we_o countenance_n what_o they_o have_v do_v and_o make_v way_n to_o have_v pensioner_n in_o every_o parliament_n but_o for_o be_v any_o such_o thought_n from_o any_o man_n that_o sit_v within_o these_o wall_n and_o have_v say_v this_o i_o will_v in_o the_o next_o place_n humble_o offer_v my_o thought_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o do_v propose_v that_o every_o man_n of_o they_o shall_v on_o their_o knee_n confess_v their_o fault_n to_o both_o house_n and_o that_o to_o be_v do_v at_o the_o bar_n one_o by_o one_o next_o that_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v able_a that_o they_o refound_v all_o the_o money_n they_o have_v receive_v for_o secret_a service_n our_o law_n will_v not_o allow_v a_o thief_n to_o keep_v what_o he_o have_v get_v by_o steal●●●_n but_o of_o course_n order_n restitution_n and_o shall_v these_o proud_a robber_n of_o the_o nation_n nor_o restore_v their_o ill_n get_v good_n and_o last_o i_o do_v propose_v that_o they_o be_v voted_n incapable_a of_o serve_v in_o parliament_n for_o the_o future_a or_o of_o enjoy_v any_o office_n civil_a or_o military_a and_o order_v a_o bill_n to_o be_v bring_v i●_n to_o that_o
