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

The Exchecquer-Bill was read The Bill against Trifling Suits was put to the Question And ordered to be Ingrossed The Bill to prevent Perjury and Subordination of Perjury and unnecessary expences of Suits in Law A Bill to prevent the double Payment of Debts upon Shop-Books which was put to the Question for the Ingrossing And most said No. Mr. Speaker after a Silence and every one marvailing why the Speaker stood up spake to this Effect The Speaker delivers a Message from the Queen It pleased Her Majesty to command me to attend upon Her Yesterday in the Afternoon From whom I am to deliver unto you all Her Majesties most gratious Message sent by my unworthy self She yeildeth you all hearty thanks for your care and special regard of those things that concern Her State and Kingdom and Consequently our selves whose Good She hath alwayes tendred as Her own For our speedy Resolution in making so hasty and free a Subsidy which commonly succeeded and never went before our Councels For our Loyalty I will assure you with such and so great Zeal of Affection She uttered and shewed the same that to express it with our Tongues we are not able neither our Hearts to conceive it It pleased Her Majesty to say unto me That if She had an Hundred Tongues She could not express our hearty good Wills And further She said That as She had ever held our Good most dear so the last Day of ours or Her Life should Witness it And that if the least of Her Subjects were Grieved and Her self not Touched She appealed to the Throne of Almighty God how careful She hath been and will be to defend Her People from all Oppression She said That partly by Intimation of Her Councel and partly by divers Petitions that have been Delivered unto Her both going to Chappel and also Walking abroad She understood That divers Patents that She had granted were grievous unto Her Subjects and that the Substitutes of the Patentees had used great Oppression But She said She never assented to Grant any thing that was Malum in se And if in the Abuse of Her Grant there be any thing that is Evil which She took Knowledge there was She Her self would take present Order for Reformation thereof I cannot Express unto you the apparent indignation of Her Majesty towards these Abuses She said Her Kingly Prerogative was tender and therefore desireth us not to speak or doubt of Her careful Reformation For She said her Commandement given a little before the late Troubles meaning the Earl of Essex's Matters by the unfortunate event of them was not so hindred but that since that time even in the midst of Her most weighty and great Occasions She thought upon them And that this should not Suffice but that further Order should be taken presently and not In futuro For that also was a Word which I take it Her Majesty used and that some should presently be Repealed some Suspended and not put in Execution but such as should first have a Trial according to the Law for the Good of Her People Against the Abuses Her Wrath was so Incensed that She said She neither would nor could suffer such to escape with Impunity So to my unspeakable Comfort She hath made me the Messenger of this Her gratious thankfulness and care Now we see that the Axe of Her Princely Justice is put to the Root of the Tree And so we see Her Gracious goodness hath prevented our Councels and Consultations for which God make us thankful and send her long and long to Reign amongst us If through my own Weakness of Memory Want of Utterance and Frailty of my self I have omitted any thing of Her Majesties Commands I do most humbly crave pardon for the same And do beseech the Honourable Persons which do assist this Chair and were present before her Majesty at the Delivery hereof to supply and help my Imperfections which joyned with my Fear have caused me no doubt to forget something that I should have Delivered unto you After a little Pause and Silence the Councel talking one with another Mr. Secretary Cecil stood up and said There needs no Supply of the Memory of the Speaker Secretary Cecil Speaks to the same purpose but because he desires some-that be about him to aid his Delivery and because the rest of my Fellows be Silent I will take upon me to Deliver something which I both then heard and since know I was present with the rest of my Fellow-Councellours and the Message was the same that hath been told you And the cause hath not proceeded from any particular course thought upon but upon private Information of some particular Persons I have been very Inquisitive after them and of the Cause why more importunity was now used than before which I am afraid comes by being acquainted with some course of our Proceeding in this House There are no Patents now of Force which shall not presently be revoked for what Patent soever is Granted there shall be left to the overthrow of that Patent a Liberty agreeable to the Law There is no Patent but if it be Malum in se the Queen was ill apprised in Her Grant but all to the generality are unacceptable I take it there is no Patent whereof the Execution thereof hath been Injurious would that had never been Granted I hope there shall never

Fellow could say nothing for himself but only That he knew not Mr. Pemberton to be of the House So the Serjeant was commanded to Remove them both forth Mr. Johnson said Some we Pardon out of Discretion some out of Commiseration I think set all Parliaments together they will not match this Parliament with Numbers of Offences of this Nature and only our Impunity is the Cause Mr. Edmond Morgan said Mr. Speaker The Gentleman is a Man of good Sort Desert and Carriage And I think if he had known me to be of the House he would not have served me with a Subpoena Truly he came to my Lodging and acknowledged his great Fault and prayed me to Extenuate it I protest I think he did not know I was of the House And therefore I pray in regard of his Person and good Service done to Her Majesty his Offence may be as freely Remitted by the House as it is by Me And that it would please you All to Refer your Justice to Matters of greater Importance Which was marvellously well liked by the House Mr. Pemberton being asked What he could say whether William Mackerles knew him He answer'd I and that his Man had told him he said That he knew the said William was a very Knave And therefore he would not intreat the Favour of the House but let him have the Justice of the House Which Speech was generally misliked Mr. Fleetwood a Councellor of Grays-Inn shewed unto the House That one Holland a Scrivener by Temple-Bar and his Man had Beaten his Servant and he humbly prayed they might be sent for And the Question grew upon Dispute in the House whether this were Punishable And after upon a Precedent vouched by Mr. Roger Owen of 8 Hen. 4. touching a Knight of the Parliament coming towards the Parliament c. it was agreed That they should be sent for Mr. Kennel and Mackerles were brought to the Bar And after their Offence laid open by the Speaker he said It pleased the House to have so favourable Consideration of their Offence That they should only have but Three Dayes Imprisonment in the Custody of the Serjeant and pay his Fees Mr. Downold moved the House Mr. Downold moves to have the Queen's Message entered in the Journal First That the Gracious Message sent from Her Majesty might be written in the Books of the Records of this House As well it is worthy to be written in Gold as well as written and fixed in the True Hearts of every good Subject Secondly That the Honourable of this House would move Her Majesty and be an earnest Means of Speed lest that which is now meant indeed should by Protraction of Time be altered or perhaps not so happyly Effected Mr. Secretary Cecil said Secretary Cecil speaks to it I promised to be as Silent as I could Amongst much Speech of the Wise there wants not much Folly much more in Me. I do not Speak because I do dislike the Motion of that Gentleman that last spake but to defend the Diligence and Grace of the Queen It is no matter of Toy for a Prince to Notifie in Publick a Matter of this Weight Though the Idol of a Monopoly be a great Monster yet after Two or Three Dayes I doubt not but you shall see him Dismember'd And I do protest there is not any Soul living deserves Thanks in this Cause but our Sovereign Yesterday the Queen gave Order for the Draught of a Proclamation I had the Minutes thereof even now in my Hands You all know I went even now out of the House then I Read it and sent for him that should Deliver it to Her Hands Now What needs this new Zeal Mr. Davies said Mr. Davies Mr. Speaker I stood up before to Speak It was not much I had to say only this That which was deliver'd unto You from Her Sacred self I think to be Gospel that is Glad Tydings And as the Gospel is Written and Registred so would I have that also For Glad Tydings come to the Hearts of the Subjects This is all Sir George Moore said Sir George Moore This eating and fretting Disease of Monopolies I have ever detested with my Heart and the greater the Grievance is and hath been the more Inestimable is the Grace of Her Majesty in Repealing them And therefore to think we can sufficiently Record the same it were to hold a Candle before the Sun to dim the Light And seeing that She in Her Clemency and Care to Us hath taken the Matter into Her own Hands I wish the Matter may be no more spoken of much less proceeded in Sir Francis Hastings said Sir Francis Hastings It ought to be Written in the Tables of our Hearts Mr. Laurence Hide I think that this Gentleman that set this Motion on Foot spake out of Joy for Her Majesty's Grace and Zeal to have Performance of Her Promise In that he wish'd it might be Recorded in Paper here or in Parchment it is not to be intended but he also meant in our Hearts which remain no longer than we Live but Records remain longer and will give a Lively Remembrance in Ages to come And therefore for that part of his Motion I think it very Good and wish the Clerk may do accordingly Mr. Comptroller said Mr. Comptroller I think that he that moved first this Question exceedingly forgat himself and exceedingly detracted from Her Majesty who I know out of her abundant Grace and Favour to this House hath taken such speedy Course as hath been delivered by my Fellow-Councellour With that Affection She embraceth this House that in more Familiar than Princely sort it hath pleased Her to say Recommend me to the House with Thanks for their Promise and Care for the Common Good Mr. Speaker said Mr. Speaker My Heart is not able to conceive nor my Tongue to utter the Joy I conceive for Her Majesty's Gracious and Especial Care for our Good and Wellfare Wherefore as God said Gloriam meam alteri non dabo so may Her Majesty say in that That She Her self will be the only and speedy Agent for the Performance of our most Humble and Wished Desires Wherefore let us not doubt but as She hath been so She still will be our most Gracious Sovereign and Natural Mother unto Us Whose Dayes the Almighty God prolong to our Comforts And all the House cryed Amen On Saturday Novemb. 28. The Bill Intituled An Act for Explanation of the Statute of 39. Eliz. Cap. 6. touching Charitable Uses was Read the second time to which Mr. Tate spake and said amongst other things that That could be no Law which was contrary to the Great CHARTER of England And this was because it gave Power against the Great CHARTER which giveth Challenges to Jurors which this Law alloweth not Therefore he wished there might be a Commitment to Consider whether it were fit to be continued or repealed And the House would have appointed Monday
