OUR Treasures are as the Sinews of War and as the Bonds of Peace and the great Aids which are 164. Our Aids to the King like the Blood in its Circulation Sir Edward Turner 's Speech to the King Frid. 18. Jan. 1666. p. 2. given to the King are but like the Blood in its Circulation which will return again and nourish all the Parts WHEN the Speaker of the House of Commons presented His 165. Upon the Bill of Supply of 180000. l. for the War the King assures us the Money shall be laid out for the same ends it was given Majesty with a Bill of Supply for carrying on the then War of 1800000 l. The King in his Speech to both the Houses thus saith My Lords and Gentlemen I thank you for this other Bill of Supply which you have The King's Speech Feb. 8. 1666. pag. 3. given me and I assure you the Money shall be laid out for the Ends it is given NAY saith the King to them in another Speech I can tell you truly I desire to put you to as little Cost 166. The King desires to put us to as little cost as possible as is possible I wish with all my Heart The King's Speech to both Houses Sept. 21. 1666. p. 3. that I could bear the whole Charge of this War my self and that my Subjects should reap the benefit of it to themselves 167. He wishes he could bear the charge and his Subjects reap the benefit of the War AND he told them Though they had given him very lar●e Supplies for the carrying on the War yet he was forced to anticipate his own Revenue Id. pag. 4. and so raise a very great Sum of Money or he had not been able to set out the Fleet that last Spring and he had some hopes upon the same Credit to be able to pay off the great Ships as they came in AND all this he was very willing and ready to do himself because he would be as little burdensome and uneasie to his People as possibly he could having found them so free upon all Occasions 168. Though Necessities prest him yet he was unwilling to ask for further Assistance till he saw he could no longer tarry and then he assures us that the great Sum that was last given him was wholly applyed to the Navy as it was intended to give him necessary and large Supplies THIS doubtless made him say to his Parliament I have had great Experience of your Affection and Loyalty to me and am very confident of the The King's Speech to both Houses Tuesd Octob. 19. 1669. pag. 3 4. Continuance of it It is now almost a Year and a half since your last Sitting and though my Debts have pressed me very much yet I was unwilling to call for your Assistance till this time What you gave me last was wholly applyed to the Navy and that extraordinary Fleet for which it was intended AND when he met them the February following saith he When we last met I asked you a Supply and I ask it now again with greater Instance The Vneasiness 169. His earnestness in asking was only from a Prospect of very ill Effects which would besal the whole Kingdom without a new Supply The King's Speech Mond Feb. 14. 1669 70. pag. 4. and Straitness of my Affairs cannot continue without very ill Effects to the whole Kingdom Consider this seriously and speedily it is yours and the Kingdom 's Interest as well as mine and the ill Consequence of a Want of an effectual Supply must not lie at my Door And that no Mis-apprehensions or Mistakes touching the Expences of the last War may remain with you I think fit to let you know 170. And he saith again that no part of the Moneys given him for the War had been diverted to other Uses that I have fully informed my self in that matter and do affirm to you that no part of those Moneys that you gave me for that War have been diverted to other Vses but on the contrary besides all those Supplies a very great Sum hath been raised out of my standing Revenue and Credit and a very great Debt contracted and 171. His Majesty in his own Person hath examined the Accounts and finds this true that all the Moneys have been justly laid out on the War all for the War HIS Majesty hath not only by his Ministers but in his own Royal Person examined the Accounts touching the Expences of the last War and hath thought himself The Lord Keeper's Speech to the same pag. 7 8. concerned to let you know that all the Supplies which you gave him for the War have been by him applyed to the War and no part of them to any other Uses Nay so far from it that if the Preparations towards the 172. Nay and accounting the Preparations many hundred thousand pounds of his own Revenue have been employed also War shall be taken to be for the use of the War as they must be a great part of his own Revenue to many hundred thousands of Pounds hath been employed also and swallowed up in the Charges of the War and what did necessarily relate to it To which may be added the great Debt● contracted by His Majesty in the War THUS you see that though your Supplies have been great yet the Charges occasioned by the Id. pag. 9. War and the Calamities which accompanied it have been greater and that the Debt which is left upon His Majesty and which he complains of hath been contracted by the War and not by the diversion of the Moneys designed for it HIS Majesty did not enter into this War upon 173. His Majesty entred not upon it upon any private Inclinations the first step arose from their Advice and promise of Assistance any private Inclination or Appetite of his own the Id. ibid. first step he made towards it did arise from your Advice and the promises of your Assistance But if the Charges and Accidents of the War have out gone all your Supplies and left him under the burthen of this Debt he thinks that as well the Justice to your Promise as the Duty and Loyalty you have always shewed him will oblige you to relieve him from it And the rather when you shall seriously consider how uneasie this burthen must be to 174. Therefore no more questions your Justice to your Fromise than your Duty and Loyalty to him him and what ill Consequences the Continuance under it must draw upon all his Affairs In which particular you and every Person you represent in this Nation will be concerned as well as himself Id. pag. 10. AGAIN His Majesty in his Speech could not leave them without a fresh thanks for their complying with his desires and their ready helping him in his pressing Necessities and without giving them still further Assurances that he would be a very faithful disposer of

to them You know how our Soveraign Lord 147. How he gave more Money to the People than he hath received from them the King found the Crown at his blessed Return to The Lord Chancellor's Speech to the same p. 12 it You can tell the World that as soon as he came hither besides the infinite that he forgave he gave more Money to the People than he hath since received from them That at least two parts of three that they have since given 148. How the Moneys have been laid out that were given him him have issued for the disbanding Armies never raised by him and for payment of Fleets never sent out by him and of Debts never incurred by him AND after a great deal more of much what to the same purpose 149. The Charge the Crown is at both by Sea and Land for our Peace and Security may he not very well go on and say You may with a very good Conscience assure your selves and your Friends and Neighbours that the charge the Crown Id. pag. 13. is now at by Sea and Land for the Peace and Security and Wealth and Honour of the Nation amounts to no less than eight 150. God in giving us this King hath given us the most chearful Giver that hath given us all we have asked all he hath to give hundred thousand Pounds a Year all which did not cost the Crown before these Troubles fourscore thousand Pounds the Year and therefore they will never blame you for any Supply you have given or Addition you have made to the Revenue of the Crown FOR Besides all other Stupendious Blessings that God Almighty hath conferred upon us he hath Id. pag. 20. in this our King given us the most chearful Giver that ever 151. He only retains what we give him for our sakes that we might be the better by it People have been blessed with A King that hath with all imaginable chearfulness given us all we have asked of him all he hath to give who would not take or retain any thing we give to him but for our own sakes that by receiving and retaining it he may give it to us again in more abundance in abundance of Peace and Plenty and Honour and all the Comforts which 152. The Greatness of the King is the greatness of the People can make a Nation happy THUS spake that Noble Lord and did we not see the Fruits and Effects of it The Greatness of the King is the Greatness and Safety of his People The Springs The Lord Keeper's Speech Octob. 13. 1675. pag. 7. 153. The King's thanks to the Parliament for their Present to him and Rivers which pay Tribute to the Ocean do not lessen but preserve themselves by that Contribution SAITH the King and oh how full upon every Occasion is his heart of Generous Gratitude when the Parliament 154. The Necessities of the Crown not coming by the King's Improvidence or Ill-Husbandry had presented him with a Money-Bill I thank you for the Present you have made me this Day and I hope your Countries will thank you when The King's Speech to both Houses at their Prorogation Mond July 27. 1663. p. 3 4. you come home for having done it I am not Conscious of having brought the Straights and Necessities I am in upon my self by any 155. Nor would the King have had the Supply if it were not necessary for our Peace and Quiet Improvidence or Ill-Husbandry of my own I know the contrary and I do assure you that I would not have desired or received the Supply you have now given me if it were not absolutely necessary for your Peace and Quiet as well as mine And I must tell you it will do me very little good if I do not improve 156. He will rather impose upon himself than upon his Subjects it by very good Husbandry of my own and by retrenching those very Expences which in many respects may be thought necessary enough But you shall see I will much rather impose upon my self than upon my Subjects 157. Nothing more of publick consideration than to support the Dignity of the Crown And if all Men will follow my Example in retrenching their Expences which it may be they may do with much more Convenience than I can do mine the Kingdom will in a very short time gain what you have given me this day NOTHING is or can be of a more publick The Lord Chancellor's Speech to both Houses Octob. 21. 1678. pag. 16. 158. It is unsafe as well as dishonourable for the King's Revenue to fall short of his most necessary ●pences Consideration than to support the Dignity of the Crown which is in truth the Dignity of the Nation Besides it is unsafe as well as dishonourable that the King's Revenue should fall short of his most necessary and most unavoidable Expences 159. It is fit there should be such a constant growing Revenue as may preserve the Crown from scandalous Wants and Necessities as formerly it lay under WHEN the Parliament like the richest and the noblest Soil a Soil manured and enriched by the bountiful Hearts of the best Subjects in the World had yielded the King two full Harvests in one Year Saith the Chancellor to them on the Day of their Prorogagation You have not only supplied the Crown to a good degree for discharging many Debts and The Lord Chancellor's Speech Monday May 19. 166● pag. 8 9. Pressures under which it even groaned and enabled it to struggle with the present Straits and Necessities Debts not contracted and Necessities not run into by Improvidence and Excess You may when you please 160. Our late Distractions may be imputed much to the Poverty of the Crown receive such an Account as will clear all such Reproaches But you have wisely very wisely provided such a constant growing Revenue as may with God's Blessing preserve the Crown from those scandalous Wants and Necessities as have heretofore exposed it and the Kingdom to those dismal Miseries as he said 161. The want of Power the effect of want of Money then from which they are but even now Buoyed up For whatsoever other Humane Causes may be assigned according to the several Fancies and Inclinations of Men of our late miserable Distractions they cannot be so reasonably imputed to any one 162. The Militia Bill and the Additional Revenue the Foundation of our Peace and Security Cause as to the extream Poverty of the Crown the want of Power could never have appeared if it had not been for the want of Money AND I am confident both the present and succeeding Ages will bless God and celebrate your Memories for those two Bills of putting the Militia into the King's Hands and supplying the 163. Treasures the Sinews of War and the Bonds of Peace Crown by an Additional Revenue as the Foundation of their Peace Quiet and Security
