Sunday in Fair or open Market that this should be Void and she and the Goods forfeited to the Queens Use for that is a Contract At which all the House Laughed Mr. Bacon said Bacons Speech for Repealing superfluous Laws May it please you Mr. Speaker not out of Ostentation to this House but in Reverence I do speak it That I do much wonder to see the House so continually divided and to agree upon nothing to see many Laws here so well framed and Offences provided against and yet to have no better Success and Entertainment I do think every man in his particular bound to help the Common-wealth the best he may and better it is to venture a mans Credit by Speaking than to stretch a mans Conscience by Silence and to endeavor to make that good in Nature which is possible in Effect Laws be like Pills all gilt over which if they be easily and well swallowed down are neither bitter in digestion nor hurtful in the body every man knows that Time is the true Controuler of Laws and therefore there having been a great alteration of Time since the Repeal of a number of Laws I know and do assure my self there are many more than I know Laws both needless and dangerous I could therefore wish that as usually every Parliament there is a Committee selected for the Continuance of divers Statutes so the House would be pleased also that there might be a Committee for the Repeal of divers Statutes and of diverse superfluous Branches of Statutes And that every particular Member of the House would give Information to the Committees what Statutes he thinketh fitting to be Repealed or what Branch to be Superfluous lest as he said pluat super nos laqueas The more Laws we make the more Snares we lay to entrap our selves Upon which Motion a Committee was granted to meet on Friday On Saturday November 7.

Antient Servants who had deserved well at My Hands But the Contrary being found by Experience I am exceedingly beholding to such Subjects as would move the same at the first And I am not so Simple to suppose but that there are some of the Lower-House whom these Grievances never touched And for Them I think they spake out of Zeal for their Countries and not out of Spleen or Malevolent Affection as being Parties grieved And I take it exceeding Gratefully from them because it gives Us to know that no Respects or Interests had moved them other than the minds they bear to suffer no diminution of our Honour and our subjects Loves unto Us. The zeal of which Affection tending to ease my People and Knit their hearts unto Me I embrace with a Princely care for above all earthly Treasure I esteem my People's Love more than which I desire not to Merit That my Grants should be grievous to my People and Oppressions privileged under colour of our Patents our Kingly Dignity shall not suffer it yea when I heard it I could give no rest unto my Thoughts untill I had Reformed it Shall they think to escape unpunished that have thus Oppressed you and have been respectless of their Duty and regardless of Our Honour No Mr. Speaker I assure you were it not more for Conscience-sake than for any Glory or Increase of Love that I desire these Errours Troubles Vexations and Oppressions done by these Varlets and lewd Persons not worthy the name of Subjects should not escape without Condigne Punishment But I perceive they dealt with Me like Physitians who Administring a Drug make it more acceptable by giving it a good Aromatical Savour or when they give Pills do Gild them all over I have ever used to set the last Judgment-Day before my Eyes as so to Rule as I shall be Judged to Answer before a higher Judge to whose Judgment-Seat I do Appeal That never Thought was Cherished in my Heart that tended not to my People's Good And now if my Kingly Bounty have been abused and my Grants turned to the Hurt of my People contrary to My Will and Meaning or if any in Authority under Me have neglected or perverted what I have Committed to them I hope God will not lay their Culps and Offences to my Charge who though there were danger in repealing our Grants yet what danger would I not rather incur for your Good than I would suffer them still to continue I know the Title of a KING is a Glorious Title But assure your self That the Shining Glory of Princely Authority hath not so dazelled the Eyes of our Understanding but that we well know and remember that We also are to yeild an Account of our Actions before the Great Judge To be a KING and wear a Crown is a thing more Glorious to them that see it than it is pleasing to them that bear it For my self I was never so much inticed with the Glorious Name of a KING or Royal Authority of a QUEEN as delighted that GOD had made Me his Instrument to maintain his Truth and Glory and to Defend this Kingdom as I said from Peril Dishonour Tyranny and Oppression There will never Queen sit in my Seat with more Zeal to my Country Care for my Subjects and that sooner with willingness will venture her Life for your Good and Safety than My Self For it is not my desire to Live nor Reign longer than my Life and Reign shall be for your Good And though you have had and may have many Princes more Mighty and Wise sitting in this State yet you never had or shall have any that will be more Careful and Loving Shall I ascribe any thing to my Self and my Sexly Weakness I were not worthy to Live then and of all most unworthy of the great Mercies I have had from God who hath ever yet given me a Heart which never yet feared Forreign or Home-Enemy I speak it to give God the Praise as a Testimony before you and not to Attribute any thing to My Self For I O Lord What am I whom Practices and Perils past should not fear Or What can I do These Words She spake with a great Emphasis That I should speak for any Glory God forbid This Mr. Speaker I pray you deliver to the House to whom heartily commend Me. And so I commit you All to your best Fortunes and further Councels And I pray you Mr. Comptroller Mr. Secretary and You of My Councel That before these Gentlemen depart into their Countries you bring them All to Kiss My Hand On Decemb. 1. being Tuesday The Bill for Dreining the Fens Committed The Bill for Explanation of the Statute of 8 Reginae December 1. touching Hats and Caps brought in with Amendments The Bill to avoid Idleness and to set the Poor on Work The Bill of Llandouerer was Read and it was put to the Question I stood up to speak against it according to a Note given me by Mr. John Stephens an Honest young Gentleman of Lincolns-Inn The Effect thereof is At the Parliament 27 Hen. 8. Cap. 26. the Shires of Wales were Divided and the Land of Lour limited in Pembrook-shire At the Parliament 34 Hen. 8. Cap. 28. Caustiffan Usterloys and Laughern by the same former Act being in Pembrook-shire were by the said last Act appointed in Carmarthen Since which time the Land of Lour hath been reputed in Carmarthen-shire William Phillips of Ficton seized of the Lands of Lour and having Issue two Daughters Elizabeth being Marryed to George Owen Esquire and Mary to Alban Stepneth Esquire the said George and Alban without the Consent of their Wives and by the Constraint of Sir John Parrot Knight levied a Fine to Morgan Phillips of the said Land of Lour in Carmarthen-shire whereas it is in Pembrooke-shire So that the intent of the Bill Preferred by John Phillips he seeing his Estate void is to strengthen his Estate and to over-through the Right Title and Interest of the said George Which being shewed to the House and put to the Question the greater Voice was No No No and so the Bill was Rejected Amendments in the Bill against Blasphemous and Usual Swearing A Bill against Swearing was Read and ordered to be ingrossed To this Bill Mr. Glascock spake and said Man is made of two Parts Mr. Glascock speaks to it a Soul and a Body and there are two Governments one Imperial the other Sacerdotal the First belonging to the Common-wealth the Other to the Church Swearing is a thing Moral and toucheth the Soul and therefore fitter to be spoken of in a Pulpit than a Parliament If the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob hath sworn That his Plague shall not depart from the House of the Swearer Why should not we seek to suppress this Vice which brings a plague which breeds Mortality that breeds Destruction Desolation and utter Ruin of the Common-Wealth If He forbid us to Swear and we fear not his Commandments
Gentleman Serjeant Heale the last Parliament in a Bill of this nature moved to have an Exception or Proviso for all Serjeants A Motion made in Mirth it would please you to admit of a Proviso for all Lawyers At which the House Laughed heartily it being done for Mirth And divers Motions of the like nature were made On Thursday Decemb. 17. Sir Edward Hobby shewed The Parliament was now in the Wane and Order had been taken Touching the Information delivered to this House in Mr. Bellgraves Case but nothing done therein And as it seemeth by not taking out of the Process a Prosecution of the Cause is intended against the said Mr. Bellgrave I think it therefore fit because the chief scope of the said Information seemeth to be Touching a Dishonor offered to this House that it would please you that it might be put to the Question Whether he hath Offended this House yea or no If he hath he desireth to be Censured by you If he hath not it will be a good Motive to the Honourable here present who are Judges of that Court for their Satisfaction in cleering the Gentleman of that Offence when it comes before them Mr. Speaker moved the House That because the Parliament was like to end on Saturday it would please them to send the Bill of Ordnance to the Lords And that they might be moved to retain all private Bills in their Hands until the Ten Pounds or Five Pounds was paid according to our former Order So the House cried Mr. Secretary Cecil who went and did accordingly And then they proceeded in the Motion concerning Mr. Bellgrave Mr. Comptroller said I know the Gentleman to be an honest Gentleman and a good Servant to his Prince and Country And for his Offence to this House I think it very fit to clear him And do wish it may be put to the Question If it please you he may be cleared I will be ready to vouch your Sentence for his Offence to this House when it comes there But if any other Matter appears upon opening the Cause with That we have not to do withal Mr. Secretary Cecil said Touching this great Offence in the Country I have heard it spoken of diversly but for my own part I am rather apt to move Consideration against him that drew the Bill one Mr. Diott and that he should be well Punished who being a Member of this House should seek to diminish the Prerogative of this High Court of Parliament by praying Aid of the Star-Chamber for an Offence done to Us this Court Sitting And I desire that two things may be Considered First That the Gentleman Mr. Diott make an Apology for his Action in drawing of the Information And Secondly That this Gentleman Mr. Bellgrave may be cleared here which will be a good inducement to the Lords not to censure him heavily there Mr. Ravenscrost said The Gentleman Mr. Diott is holden in the Reputation of an honest Man And we ought not to proceed against a Fellow-Member till he be called It is not Apparent unto Us that he made it the Information is under Mr. Attornies Hand and therefore ought to be intended his for now it is of Record under his Hand against which we can receive no Averment of Speech of others other than the Gentleman 's own words viva vocae And that I think he will not confess And so there was no more said of this Matter It was put to the Question Whether he should be cleared of the Offence to the House Yea or No And all cried I I I but only Young Mr. Francis Grantham who gave a great No At whom the House Laughed and he Blushed Sir Francis Hastings said Sir Fr. Hastings against Extravagant Speeches Mr. Speaker Because I see the House at so good Leasure I will be bold to remember some Matters passed this Parliament and deliver my Opinion with desire of Reformation I mean not to Tax any Man Divers Speeches have been used concerning Justices of the Peace so Slanderous and Defamatory with so unwonted Epethites with such Slanderous Definitions a Testimony of Levity for the one and scant sound Judgment for the other And therefore I do humbly pray the Honourable here present that those Justices which serves Religiously Dutifully and Carefully may be Countenanced The Church and Common-Wealth are two Twins which Laugh and Live together Long have we joyed in Her Majesty's Happy Government and long may we We have two strong Enemies Rome and Spain from thence all our Rebellions have Proceeded and by Treasons Hatched there the Sacred Life of our Sweet Soveraign hath been sought and indangered The boldness of the Jesuits and Seminaries The Insolence of the Jesuits is greatly increased and they be very diligent to pervert which their often and ordinary Published Pamphlets to every Mans view well Testifieth and Apparently sheweth the Perversness of their Spirits and Corruptness of their Hearts And the Multitude being Perverted What Danger this may breed to the State and our Sovereign Queen Judge you For my part I am and will be ready to lay my Life at Her Feet to do Her Service We had need to have special Care of them for themselves do brag they have Forty Thousand true Hearted Catholiques for so they call them in England besides their retinue poor Catholiques and Neuters and I know not what It is therefore fit we look to this dangerous Case and not to think our selves secure because we find no harm For it is a true Position That Security without Providence is most Dangerous I conclude only with this desire that those who have Supream Authority will look that those who have inferior Government may do faithfully And that we may be kept in Obedience Mr. Wingfeild spake to the same effect And because it had pleased the House that the Clerks Servant should serve this Parliament in his Masters steed Mr. Onslowe who was sick that the House would in regard of his faithful Service and diligent attendance give Twelve Pence a piece or what they should think good every man in his discretion That Motion was liked and agreed to be gathered the next morning In the Afternoon A Bill for the Changing of the Surnames of William Waller Esquire A Bill to Change the Name of Wallers to Dibdens and his two Daughters and the Names of them that should Marry them into the Name of Dibden was Read the second time Serjeant Yelverton and Doctor Hone brought a Bill from the Lords Intituled An Act for Reformation of Deceipts and Frauds of certain Auditers and their Clerks in making of divers particulars Serjeant Harris spake to the Bill of Waller Serj.
