Not prevalent surely for the Parliament was soon after Dissolved and the House of Commons having Intimation of their intended Dissolution made what hast they could to perfect a Remonstrance or Declaration against the Duke of Buckingham and concerning Tunnage and Poundage taken by the King since his Fathers death without consent in Parliament and which were never payable they say in their Remonstrance to any of his Majesties Ancestors but only by a special Act of Parliament and ought not to be levyed without such an Act. Tant And did the King go on Collecting and taking Tunnage and Poundage notwithstanding Tory. Yes he said he could not want it and sent them a former Message that if He had not a timely supply He would betake himself to New Councils Tant New Councils what were they Tory. The Commons in their said Remonstrance often with thoughtful Hearts remember the words New-Councils repeating and Repeating them as if they were somewhat against the old Parliamentary Councils and course of this Kingdom and they Order'd every Member of the House to have a Copy of the said Remonstrance for they had not time to Present it to his Gracious Majesty but were Dissolv'd though the Lords also prepared a Petition to stay the Kings purpose in Dissolving the Parliament sending Viscount Mandevil Earl of Manchester Lord President of his Majesties Council the Earls of Pembrook Carlisle and Holland to entreat his Majesty to give Audience to the whole House of Peers But the King returned Answer that his Resolution was to hear no motion for that purpose but He would Dissolve the Parliament and he was then as good as his Word for he immediately Dissolved them by Commission under the great Seal Dated at Westminster June 15.2 R. R. Car. 1. 1626. To that purpose And withall Publishes a Declaration in Print concerning the Grounds and Causes which moved his Majesty to Dissolve this as also the former Parliament Dated June 13. 2 Car. 1. two dayes before the Date of the Commission Tant It was the readyer against the time of using it Coleman was as provident Tory. Right And also a Proclamation was published against the said Remonstrance of the Commons commanding all Persons of what Quality soever who have or shall have hereafter any Copyes or Notes of the said Remonstrance forthwith to Burn the same that the Memory thereof might be utterly abolished upon Pain of his Majesties Indignation and high Displeasure Tant Then the Tide did run very high Tory. The King also Published another Proclamation against Preaching or Disputing the Arminian Controversies Pro or Con but the effects of that Proclamation how equally soever intended became the stopping of the Puritan's Mouths and an uncontroul'd Liberty to the Tongues and Pens of the thriving Divinity-men the rising side Mountagues Party And though the Parliament was Dissolv'd so that the Duke of Buckingham for that nearly-reflecting Article the last against him which the King in Honour and by the Bonds of natural Affection and Piety to the Memory of his Deceased Father thought himself obliged to Call him to a publick account for so Daring an Insolence in applying a Plaister to the Kings breast against his Will and without the Advice and contrary to the Opinion of the Sworn Physitians of King James who attributed the Cause of his trouble unto the said Pla●●●●● and a Drink that Buckingham gave him as was Alledged in the Thirteenth Article of the Dukes Impeachment and the said Drink twice given to the King by Buckingham's own Hands and a third time refused by the King who felt great Impairment of his Life and Health complaining of the Drink that the Duke gave him His Physitians telling him to Please him and Comfort him that His second Impairment was from cold taken or some other ordinary Cause No no said his Majesty It is that which I had from Buckingham as more at large much aggravated and insisted upon by Mr. Wandesford who managed the Thirteenth Article of the Impeachment against Buckingham Tant But what

Yes indeed Mr. Richard Chambers was Imprisoned for refusing to pay Customs and had also 7060 Pounds of his goods taken from him and was fined 2000 l in the Star-chamber Tant See what it is to be obstinate and Rebellious Whigg What language these Tantivees have Obstinate and Rebellious when it was Voted and Declared by the honourable House of Commons Anno 1627. 1628. That whosoever shall Counsel or Advise the taking or Levying of the Subsidy of Tunnage and Poundage not granted by Parliament or shall be any Actor or Instrument therein shall be reputed an Innovator in the Government and a capital Enemy to the Kingdom and Common-wealth And if any Merchant or Person whatsoever shall voluntarily yield or pay the said Subsidy of Tunnage or Poundage not being granted by Parliament they shall likewise be reputed Betrayers of the Liberties of England and Enemies to the same As may appear by the said Order upon Record Now good Tantivee what shall a Subject do in this Case he must necessarily be ground-crusht between two Mill-stones if he Payes not the Kings party take all from him and if he Payes the Parliament punishes him for Betraying the Liberties of England and as a common and capital Enemy Tant There is but Right and Wrong in the World which of them were in the Right Whigg Neither of them would acknowledge themselves in the Wrong I 'le warrant 'till the longest Sword decided the Quarrel Tant But might not Mr. Chambers have been Pardoned if he would have Recanted these words They meaning the Merchants are in no parts of the World so screw'd and wrung as in England and that in Turkey they have more Incouragement Whigg Recant yes they brought him a Recantation to Subscribe and then he should be Released of his Fine 2000 l But the draught of Submission he Subscribed thus All the abovesaid Contents and Submission I Richard Chambers do utterly abhor and detest as most unjust and false and never 'till Death will acknowledge any part thereof Richard Chambers Also he underwrit these Texts of Scripture instead of Submission namely That make a man an Offender for a word and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate and turn aside the just for a thing of nought Wo to them that devise Iniquity because it is in the Power of their hand and they covet Fields and take them by Violence and Houses and take them away so they Oppress a man and his house a man and his heritage Thus saith the Lord God let it suffice you Oh Princes of Israel Remove Violence and Spoil and execute Judgment and Justice take away your Exactions from my People saith the Lord God If thou seest the Oppression of the Poor and violent perverting of Judgment and Justice in a Province marvel not at the matter for he that is higher than the highest regardeth and there be higher than they Per me Richard Chambers Tant But did He that is higher than the highest regard and shew his Displeasure in this Affair Whigg It is neither safe nor easy to unriddle the meaning of Gods Providence by the Events But as to matter of Fact History tells us that Richard Chambers notwithstanding his vast Losses for which he never had considerable Reparation when time serv'd so thankless an Office it is to be a State Martyr as to the gratitude of men but by Gods goodness to him he liv'd to be Sheriff of London and a worshipful Alderman thereof but his Judges in the Star-Chamber many of them did not come to the Grave in Peace but went out of the World as naked as they came into it stript of all before they were bereav'd of Life yet the Lord Treasurer Weston dyed of his fair death flying beyond Sea and withall he dyed a professed as before he was vilely suspected and taken upon suspition for a Masquerade Papist Tant You Whiggs thought him a Covert-papist or a Protestant in Masquerade when he was so preferr'd at Court from Chancellor of the Exchequer to be the great Lord Treasurer Whigg He was a Creature of Buckingham's making and Bishop Laud's Confirming Tant Do Bishops confirm Lord Treasurers Whigg Sometimes as well as turn Lord Treasurers themselves as they used to be Tant The worst of the Disciples carryed the Bag. Whigg That Rule holds not always true Tant But if the said Treasurer did Dye a profest Papist that looks not well on our side Tory. Nor can it surely be deny'd and the Commons were so sensible of it that they agreed upon this ensuing Petition to his Majesty concerning Recusants long before Weston grew so high in these words To the Kings most Excellent Majesty YOUR Majesties most Obedient and Loyal Subjects the Commons in this present Parliament Assembled do with great Comfort remember the many Testimonies which your Majesty hath given of your Sincerity and Zeal for the true Religion Established in this Kingdom and in particular your gracious Answer to both Houses of Parliament at Oxford upon their Petition concerning the Causes and Remedies of the Increase of Popery that your Majesty thought fit and would give Order to Remove from all Places of Authority and Government all such Persons as are either Popish Recusants or according to direction of former Acts of State justly to be suspected which was then Presented as a great and principal Cause of that Mischief but not having received so full redress herein as may conduce to the Peace of this Church and safety of this Regal State they hold it their Duty once more to resort to your Sacred Majesty humbly to Inform you that upon Examination they find the Persons underwritten to be either Recusants Papists or justly suspected according to the former Acts of State who now do or since the Siting of the Parliament did remain in places of Government and Authority and Trust in your several Counties of this your Realm of England and Dominion of Wales The Right Honourable Francis Earl of Rutland Lieutenant of the County of Lincoln Rutland Northampton Nottingham and a Commissioner of the Peace and of Oyer and Terminer in the County of York and Justice of Oyer

byas't the wrong way does not call it Rebellion nor is the word Rebellion once mentioned in the late Act of Oblivion after the happy Return of his Gracious Majesty But instead of calling it Rebellion which old Hodge would have Eccho'd and Mouth'd twice in each line Sir Richard Baker's note is That while the King was altogether rul'd by Gaveston and Gaveston himself was altogether irregular the Common-wealth could have but little of Justice but was sure to Suffer as long as Gaveston was Suffered and this may be sufficient to Justifie mark that the Lords that it be not Interpreted to be Rebellion which was indeed but Providence After that the two Spencers were the new Minions that trod in the very steps of Gaveston and Seduc't the easie King Pimps to his Lust for these onely were his Favourites whereupon the People rise as one man with the Earls of Hereford and Lancaster who confederating by a solemn League and Covenant to live and dye together in maintaining the Right of the Kingdom and to procure the Banishment of the two Spencers the great Seducers of the King and the Oppressors of the State and under this pretence they take Arms and coming armed to St. Albans they send to the King then at London requiring him as he lov'd the quiet of the Realm to rid his Court of those two Traitors the Spencers Condemn'd in many Articles of High Treason by the Common-wealth mark that of the Land and withall to grant his Letters Patents of Pardon and Indemnity both to them and such as took part with them Tory. By that desire of Indemnity they tacitly acknowledg Guilt Whigg Yes against the Letter of the Law in strict construction and a Judge and Jury of your Principles Tory it is not safe trusting you when necessity had forc't them to Courses that otherwise were Illegal which yet the Historian calls Providence not Rebellion Tant But did the King Pardon them Whigg Pardon them No I trow that had been too wise an Action for such a weak Prince as was that ill-advis'd King Tant But prythee what Answer did the King give to the bold Covenanters Whigg He Swore he should never Violate the Oath made at his Coronation by granting Letters of Pardon to such notorious Offenders who Contemn'd his Person Disturb'd the Kingdom and Violated the Royal Majesty Tant Well said and how did this Answer work upon the armed Confederates Whigg It exasperated them and presently they March't to London the Citizens being their sure Friends and lodged in the Suburbs 'till they had leive of the King to march into the City where they again more peremptorily urge their demands Tant And what did the King then why did he not Hang them all at Tyburn Whigg He could not find Hangmen that would undertake so great a work besides to Hang them all would be a tedious long work and long a doing Tant What did all People hate him and forsake him Whigg No they all lov'd him so universally and wisht him so well that they also desired he might be quit of his two Diseases the two Spencers that made the Head ake and the whole Body sick and ill at ease and so at last he yields to their Banishment But this Kings Goodness and Truth went and came like Ague-fits by Paroxismes and intermissions no trust in his Word and Promises for he Consents to their Banishment onely to hush the present Commotion Hugh Spencer the Father was then beyond Sea and kept himself there but young Spencer lurk't here and there hiding himself in England expecting the turn of a better Season which soon came about for Fortunes-wheel to the Comfort of the Afflicted and terrour of the Prosperous never stands still but is alwayes in Motion and upon the Turn as in this Kings Reign was frequently demonstrated for the next year Anno 1322. the King defeated the Lords and Beheaded his Unkle the Earl of Lancaster and four years after the Parliament Deposed King Edward or rather forc't him to Depose himself and Invest his Son which if he refused they threatned to Chuse a King of another Race and he was Killed soon after by his Keepers Gourney and Matrevers Tarleton Bishop of Hereford writing to them to that effect in doubtful sence viz. Edvardum occidere nolite timere bonum est but they guess'd at his meaning for that Bishop Adam Tarleton had a little before at Oxford Preach't before the Queen and Roger Mortimer her bosom friend on this Text Caput meum doleo My Head aketh whence he inferred that the Kingdom being now deadly sick of its Head it was fit to remove that Head and put a sounder in his place this was the Loyalty of your Bishop when Interest c. Tant How did the Queen approve that Doctrine Whigg She did not dislike it to be sure but her Minion Roger like't it well enough as appeared afterwards Tant It was an Impudent Whores-trick of her first to make the King a Cuckold preferring the Love of Mortimer and then to Vnking him by Deprivation and then to Vnman him by Murthering him Whigg She did not own the Murtherers that did the Deed. Tant But she did not punish the wicked Bishop that Preach't up the King-killing Doctrine and who did give the Murderers also Commission to do it Whigg No he was her chief Favourite-Bishop and fit for her turn but such was the general Hatred to King Edward 2. that he dyed Vnlamented though perhaps not unpittyed he had so disoblig'd his People by espousing two or three unfortunate Minions and their dependants before and above his peoples welfare that ought to have been his chiefest Care Tant I protest though 't is hard measure first to be made a Cuckold and then by the same Engineers to be Depriv'd and then Kill'd this is worse than what befell the Earl of Essex General of the Parliaments-Forces in 41. First the Duke of Som made him a Cuckold then He and she disparage her Husbands virility then for that reason gets her Divorc't from him as not man sufficient And Lastly to make the Church Father all the escapes he Legitimates them by making her an honest woman and Marrying her Tory. Not Man sufficient sayst thou Parson why what one man is sufficient for a Whore if the Church admit that for a sufficient Plea for Divorce they 'l have as many Customers for that as they have for Licenses for Marriage Tant The better trading for us we are men that know our Interest and Advantage as well as carnal men Tory. Ay Ay who doubts it but say Mr. Whigg did the Earl of Essex put up this affront Whigg No I told you he was the man that first headed the Parliaments forces that afterwards took more than sufficient Vengeance on the Church and all that sided or bandyed with her Manet aliâ mente repostum Evil Actions carry their furies along with them Vengeance attends them For the said Kings unfaithfulness to his

them can tell what or who is the Church but usually by the Church they mean themselves the Clergy that is the promoted and Dignifyed Clergy-men and how the Vilest and worst of Clergy-men came to be promoted by their Vileness and Villanies you have heard for no other Clergy-men could be found so to Debauch their Consciences the Laws of England and the Protestant Religion and these are the men Forsooth whose Spitle we must all lick up and be punish'd if we speak never so little against them Ten thousand times more than when by Curses and Oaths we Blaspheme the Holy Name of God Oh brave World and brave Holy Religion and bravely managed Tant You are warm upon us Whig Is this a time to be Meally-mouth'd To sit weeping and wailing and wringing of hand with Prayers and Tears only when Tant When what Speak out Whig I will not Catch-pole you do but ly at lurch to undo a man for speaking Truth if you can but by hook or Crook drill him in and bring him within the reach or swing of some Old Stretch'd Law to colour as well as vindicate safely the private Spleens and Revenge every body sees you and yet you think you walk invisible and now too having got Tory here to be a Fellow-witness with you Oh how you will Strain a word and your own Consciences To bring a man that Thwarts your Evil purpose to be Maul'd by Law especially when you get which is not difficult a Jury and for your Turns Tory. You speak feelingly Whigg Jeet on and mark the end on 't there is an over-ruling Providence and God of Justice the very Heathens apprehend it and the Wheel of Fortune comforted the Captive Prince that drew the Conqueror's Chariot the Wheels whereof turning round and the upmost side forthwith undermost and the undermost again uppermost comforted and cheer'd his Captivity with the certain incertainty inconstancy and vicissitude of things And therefore good Rampant Tory let not him that putteth on his Armour boast himself yet you think you have got the World in a string and since the days of Blessed Mary Popery Coleman says had never so fair and likely a Prospect Tant I am not for Popery Whigg No not for the Name I believe thy Religion is 1500 l per Annum call it by what Name any body pleases Tory. But did not you say Whigg that you would prove by Common-Law Statute-Law Reason and Equity that the Law determines how and when Parliaments shall sit or be Dissolv'd How long they shall sit and when they shall be called all which I understand lay no where but in the Hallow of the Kings-Breast His Will and Pleasure Whig No Acts of Justice as a King lyes so incertainly only as at the will and pleasure of the King so as not to be determined by Law though some Acts of Mercy and Pardon are purely Arbitrary to adorn the Throne For if that did all our other Laws are nothing worth but at the good pleasure of the King and His Ministers Arbitrarily For for all their Transgressions none can call Evil Ministers to Account but a Parliament at least none more properly And if they can stave off a Parliament at pleasure and Dissolve it at pleasure we hold all our other Liberties Charters and Properties at pleasure which they have often oppress'd and invaded as aforesaid and when a Parliament call'd them to a Reckoning and Account for their Roguery and worse than march them off Here the Remedy by this Rule is left to the mercy and good will and pleasure of the Disease when Evil Ministers Disease the Common-wealth and this Disease may not be inquired into by the only Physitians the Parliament For Alas the Judges know who gives them and continues to them their Places and Soft Seats Tory. You see as aforesaid in King Charles I. his Speeches his Declarations c. Still he inculcates and bids them remember that the Calling Adjourning Prorogueing Holding and Dissolving Parliaments are in his Power Whig I believe you mistake for the Houses usually if not always do Adjourn themselves but they are Prorogued and Called and Dissolved by the King so all Criminals or so suspected are Indicted by the King that is in the Kings Name but the Law directs it both how and wherefore Tory. So you would say the Law directs the formal part also of Calling and Dissolving of Parliaments to be by the King in His Name but the wherefore or cause of Calling and Dissolving Parliaments is limited and determined by the Law and the time of Intervals which the King cannot pass or dispute with Whig Yes surely or else the great foundation of our Laws Parliaments the banks that limit and bound the out-ragious swellings and overflowings of Arbitrary and unlimited dominion would be strangely deficient and lame in not providing first and especially for its own Preservation against Arbitrary Will and Pleasure Tant Nay I suppose you are a Learned and Stout Champion for the Laws and for the Laws of Parliament and much Skill'd in them Whig I pretend to no Skill therein nor to the Honour of it all I have to say or have said on this Subject is only as an Historian of Whiggism a bare summary Collection of what others have done and said as to these particulars in the Reign of King Charles I. to rub up your memory with my brief Notes not to tell you any thing you have not heard before but with little Cost and Charge give you the Marrow of greater and more Elaborate works at an easier rate and minute Expence both of Money and Time Tant Well said I like that very well for I have not much of either to spare but first say what the Common Law enjoynes as to the Holding or Dissolving Parliaments Whig Few know what the Common Law is Coke says it is founded in the Immutable Law and Light of Nature agreeable to the Law of God requiring Order Government Subjection and Protection containing Ancient usages warranted by Holy Scripture and because it is generally given to all King and People Poor and Rich Lords and Commons it is therefore called Common Now consider that never any King of England had any Prerogative but what the Common-Law or Statute-Law gives them nor any Liberty or Priviledge but by Law The Prerogative is a Royal Priviledge Privilegio quasi privatae Leges Priviledges are Private Laws which always yields to the Common-Law Common-weal and Common-Benefit The King has no Priviledge or Prerogative contrary to the Publick-weal Order Government and Protection of the People Apply this to the question in hand concerning Holding or Dissolving of Parliaments And therefore in the Mirror of Justice a Book so commended by the Lord Coke that he saith it contains the whole Frame of the Ancient Common-Laws of this Realm from the time of King Arthur till near the Conquest Citesout of it one Law Concerning Parliaments made Reg. R. Alfred Anno Dom. 880.

King know himself to be ordain'd for his People and not his People for him Wherefore I will never be asham'd to confess it my Principal to be the great Servant of the Common-wealth c. Tory. Ay but we Toryes are not of King James 's mind but quite contrary Whig Right therefore you are most rightly called Tories meer Irish-Bogg-Trotters and Slaves that would be more like than Englishmen because you are Slaves to your Lusts of Avarice and Ambition to gratifie which you will gratifie any other mans Ambition to advance your own and as they say lick up other mens Spitle poor Currs in hopes that others will lick up yours Tory. Ay thouart a Hopeful Whigg such a Tom-Tell-Truth I do not like Whig I know thou dost not thou likest Flatteries and Leasings better by half Old Tory-Boy Tory. Well but tell me true what Authority have you to assert as you have already that the principal ends of calling Parliaments is for Redressing Grievances that dayly happen Whig For this Consult 36 Edw. 3. c. 10.18 Edw. 3. c. 24.50 Edw. 3. No. 17.13 Hen. 4. No. 9. Tant I cannot think that this same King Alfred that was so Wise a man so great a Schollar a Prosperous King and a Valiant should so humble himself to the Laws Whig Therefore you think like as you are a Tantivee and a Cockscomb For Andrew Horne tells us in his Mirrour of Justice that King Alfred made bold to Hang Judge Darling Seynor Cadwine Cole and fourty Judges more Tant For what Judges Hang other men but do not use themselves to be Hang'd Whig No they do not make a common practice of it though they have often had it and more often deserved it but when they meet with some Just Kings they also meet with their deserts some of them a Halter Tant Fourty Judges do you say did they hang together Whig Yea only for Judging contrary to Law Tant Nay if Judges will Hang men for acting contrary to Law I am of Opinion that they that by their Office their Place their Wisdom their Experience and their Oath should act according to Law I would Halter them my self though it is unseemly for my Coat if such Wretches act contrary to Law Whig When we have an occasion for a Tantivee Hangman we 'l send for you Parson for want of a better Tant I am your tres humble when occasion serves Whig In Edward 3d. time poor Thorp Lord Chief Justice went to Pot in plain English he was Hang'd Tant I am your tres humble when occasion serves Whig In Edward 3d. time poor Thorp Lord Chief Justice went to Pot in plain English he was Hang'd Tant For what For receiving a Bribe of the Embassador Whig No he was not so great a Rogue He was only Hang'd for receiving the Bribe of 100 l in obstruction of Justice Tant Poor Fellow he had hard Fortune I can tell you in History of a man that received fifty times as much in Obstruction of Justice and yet the Gallows did not claim its due Whig Ay ay some men are born with their A upwards but there 's a time for all things and a day of Judgement a coming Tant Ay but when canst tell Whig Yes even when it pleases God Tant And the King you should have said Whig That 's needless for what pleases God must please all the Kings in the World The Wisdom and the Politicks of the wisest men is Foolishness with God What Head had more Brains in it than Strafford That out of Self-Interest and Preservation dislik'd coming to Parliament whom he knew in his Conscience he had Offended and both he and the Archbishop Laud fenc'd off the Parliaments sitting so long till at length they themselves had Judgment without Mercy for Involving the Kingdoms by their Arbitrary Projects and Countenancing and Advancing Popish-Books Popish-Authors Papists and Popishly Inclin'd c. Tant But was it true that Strafford rul'd Ireland with an Army and most of that Army Papists Whig Yes Popery and Arbitrary Government are like Fire and Heat the latter is the necessary consequence of the former Lord of Strafford had 10000. Souldiers of his standing Guards of which 8000. were profest Papists and the other 2000. were Well-affected to the Tory Cause they were True-Blew and whilst he Decreed and Ordered mens Estates and Lives away at the Council Board thereby as it was Articled and Alleadged against him breaking the Kings Oath Which made the poor Earl at last Stile himself the Accursed thing or the Achau that had troubled Israel with the Babilonish Garments of Popery and the Accursed Wedges of Gold by Arbitrary Taxes Decrees Loanes Monopolies False Imprisonments nay Sentencing to Death some as the Lord Mount-Norris and Executing others taking from him his Inheritance of his Mannor and Tymore in the County of Armagh so also Thomas Lord Dillon was outed by the good will and pleasure of this great Lord of and from his Lands in Mago and Rosecommen so also Dame Mary Hibbots in Favour of Thomas Hibbots who shortly after conveyed the same to Sir Robert Meredith to the use of the said Earl of Strafford Tant I commend him he had wit enough to get somewhat and gather to himself which some Tyrants do not Whig I know not what he got over the Devils back was spent under his belly as we say male parta male dilabuntur for he Died poor and in Debt The Curse of God followes the Oppressor and his House so true is that of the Prophet Wo to him that Increaseth that which is not his and to him that ladeth himself with thick-clay shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee c. Wo to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his House that he may set his Nest on high c. Thou hast consulted shame to thy House c. For the stone shall cry out of the wall and the beam out of the timber shall bear witness Wo unto him that buildeth a Town with blood and stablisheth a City by Iniquity Tory Ay Poor Gentleman the Earl of Strafford was made a woful example of an evil Councellor and an Oppressor The sense of his Guilt made him submit to his death the more Patiently Whig Yea he desired to die seem'd weary of his Life a wounded Conscience who can bear Prosperity may a while muzle the Mouth of Conscience but a prospect of Death and Affliction unmuzles the Mastisse Tory. The Earl Confest he had received nothing but Justice and that the death of the bad he ingenuously confess'd with Cicero was the safety of the good that be alive and bid no man trust either in the Favour of his Prince the Friendship and Consanguinity of his Peers much less in his own Wisdom of which he confess'd he had been too Confident saying as once Cardinal Woolsey did Had I strived to obey my God as Faithfully as I sought to Honour my King Fraudulently I had stood and not

that have been the Authors and Causers Tant Of what Of Law and Gospel Whig No of all the Miseries Ruines and Calamities that are now upon us Mr. Speaker This is the Age Mr. Speaker that hath produced and brought forth Achitophels Hammans Woolseyes Empsons and Dedleyes Tricilians and Belknapes Vipers and Monsters of all sorts Tant We use to lay the cause of all our Civil Wars at the doors of the Puritans Roundheads or Whiggs Whig Ay you know no more than just what Oliver 's Fidler and Nat.

Dr. Lamb for no other fault but taken on Suspition for an Intimado and Friend to the Duke of Buckingham was pull'd in pieces by the Mobile and Rable and Verses presently drop'd about the Streets Threatning the like Fate to the Duke This Dystich for one Let Charles and George do what they can The Duke shall Dic like Doctor Lamb. And he that Stab'd the Duke was rather bewail'd and Canoniz'd then Execrated by the Populace what Devils Incarnate did the people prove to the two De Witts in Holland not long ago The examples of Popular Hatred and Revenge I call it not always Justice because Irregular at best are infinite in our own and Foraign Countries What need I tell of the Sicilian Vespers Mastnello's ten days Revenge occasioned by the Gabell's or Excise and yet it was established by Law as Hearth-money amongst us and Excise amongst us and in Holland and other Countries Tant I perceive by the Story that of all men living Favorites Grand Minions whom all men Envy have had the worst luck Whig To go no further back than King Edward 2. how miserably were Gaviston and the two Spencers Tom and Dismembred limb from limb Tory.
