We

clearly
put
upon

is
proportionable

We
should
allow
for
the
imperfection
of

the
imperfect
state
of

for
here
we

therefore
we

in

England

he
sees
that
If
you
desire
the
advancement
and
propagation
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
we
have
by
our
constant
profession
and
practise
of
it
,
given
sufficient
testimony
to
the
World
,
that
neither
the
unkindness
of
those
of
the
same
faith
towards
us
,
nor
the
civilities
and
obligations
from
those
of
a
contrary
profession
,
(
of
both
which
we
have
had
abundant
evidence
)
could
in
the
least
degree
startle
us
,
or
make
us
swerve
from
it
;
and
nothing
can
be
proposed
to
manifest
our
Zeal
and
Affection
for
it
,
to
which
we
will
not
readily
consent
.
And
we
hope
in
due
time
,
our self
so
propose
some
what
to
you
for
the
propagation
of
it

that
will
satisfie
the

that
we
have
always
made
it

our
care

our
study

have
enough
observed
what
is
most
like
to
bring

Speech

April
And
the
truth
is
,
we
do
think
our self
the
more
competent
to
propose
,
and
with
Gods
assistance
to
determine
many
things
now
in
difference
from
the
time
we
have
spent
,
and
the
experience
we
have
had
in
most
of
the
reformed
Churches
abroad
,
in
in
the
and
in
where
we
have
had
frequent
Conferences
,
with
the
most
learned
men
,
who
have
unanimously
lamented
the
great
reproach
the
Protestant
Religion
undergoes
,
from
the
distempers
,
and
too
notorious
Schisins
in
matters
of
Religion
And
as
the
most
learned
amongst
them
have
always
with
great
submission
and
reverence
acknowledged
and
magnified
the
established
Government
of
the
Church
of
and
the
great
Countenance
and
shelter
the
Protestant
Religion
received
from
it
before
these
unhappy
times
:
so
many
of
them
have
with
great
ingenuity
and
sorrow
confessed
,
that
they
were
too
easily
misled
by
mis-information
and
prejudice
into
some
dis-esteem
of
it
,
as
if
it
had
too
much
complyed
with
the
Church
whereas
they
now
acknowledge
it
to
be
the
best
fence
God
hath
yet
raised
against
Popery
in
the
world
;
and
we
are
perswaded
they
do
with
great
Zeal
wish
it
restored
to
its
old
dignity
and
Veneration
.
We
need
not
profess
the
high
Affection
and
Esteem
we
have
for
the
Church
of
as
it
is
Established
by
Law
;
the
Reverence
to
which
hath
supported
us
with
God's
blessing
,
against
many
temptations
.
When
we
were
in
we
were
attended
by
many
grave
and
learned
Ministers
from
hence
,
who
were
looked
upon
as
most
able
and
principal
assertors
of
the
Presbyterian
Opinions
,
with
whom
we
had
as
much
conference
as
the
multitude
of
affairs
,
which
were
then
upon
us
,
would
permit
us
to
have
;
and
to
our
great
satisfaction
and
comfort
found
them
persons
full
of
Affection
to
us
,
of
Zeal
for
the
Peace
of
the
Church
and
State
,
and
neither
Enemies
(
as
they
have

out
to
be

or

,
but
modestly
to
desire
such
alalterations
in
either
,
as
without
shaking
Foundations
,
might
allay
the
present
distempers
,
which
the
indisposition
of
the
time
,
and
the
tenderness
of
some
mens
consciences
had
contracted
.
find
upon
the
full
conference
we
have
had
with
the
learned
men
of
several
perswasions
,
that
the
mischiefs
,
under
which
both
the
Church
and
State
do
at
present
suffer
,
do
not
result
from
any
formed
Doctrine
or
Conclusion
woich
either
party
maintains
or
avows
,
but
from
the
passion
and
appetite
and
Interest
of
particular
persons
,
who
contract
greater
prejudice
to
each
other
from
those
affections
,
then
would
naturally
arise
from
their
Opinions
,
we
must
for
the
honour
of
all
those
of
either
persuasion
with
whom
we
have
conferred
,
declare
,
that
the
professions
and
desires
of
all
for
the
advancement
of
piety
and
true
godliness
,
are
the
same
;
their
professions
of
Zeal
for
the
Peace
of
the
Church
,
the
same
;
of
affection
and
duty
to
us
,
the
same
;
they
all
approve
Episcopacy
;
they
all
approve
a
set
form
of
Liturgy
;
and
they
all
disprove
and
dislike
the
sin
of
Sacriledge
;
and
the
alienation
of
the
Revenue
of
the
Church
;
and
if
upon
these
excellent
foundations
,
in
submission
to
which
there
is
such
a
harmony
of
affections
,
any
superstructures
should
be
raised
,
to
the
shaking
those
foundations
,
and
to
the
contracting
and
lessening
the
blessed
gift
of
Charity
,
which
is
a
vital
part
of
Christian
Religion
;
we
shall
think
our self
very
unfortunate
,
and
even
suspect
that
we
are
defective
in
that
administration
of
Government
with
which
God
hath
intrusted
us
.
we
do
not
think
that
Reverence
England
,
in
the
least
degree
diminished
by
our
condescensions
,
not
peremptorily
to
insist
on
some
particulars
of
Ceremony
,
which
,
however
introduced
by
the
piety
and
devotion
,
and
order
of
former
times
,
may
not
be
so
agreeable
to
the
present
,
but
may
even
lessen
that
piety
and
devotion
,
for
the
improvement
whereof
they
might
happily
be
first
introduced
,
and
consequently
may
well
be
dispensed
with
;
and
we
hope
this
Charitable
compliance
of
ours
will
dispose
the
minds
of
all
men
to
a
cheerful
submission
to
that
Authority
,
the
preservation
whereof
is
so
necessary
for
the
Vnity
and
Peace
of
the
Church
;
and
that
they
will
acknowledge
the
support
of
the
Episcopal
Authority
,
to
be
the
best
support
of
Religion
,
by
being
the
means
to
contain
the
minds
of

of
contained
in
the
book
of
Common
Prayer
,
and
by
Law
established
,
to
be
the
best
we
have
seen
;
and
We
believe
that
We
have
seen
all
that
are
extant
,
and
used
in
this
part
of
the
world
,
and
well
know
what
reverence
most
of
the
Reformed
Churches
,
or
at
least
the
most
learned
men
in
those
Churches
,
have
for
it
;
yet
since
we
find
some
exceptions
made
against
several
things
therein
,
we
will
appoint
an
equal
Number
of
learned
Divines
of
both
persuasions
,
to
review
the
same
,
and
to
make
such
alterations
as
shall
be
thought
most
necessary
;
and
some
additional
forms
(
in
the
Scripture
phrase
,
as
near
as
may
be
)
suited
unto
the
nature
of
the
several
parts
of
worship
,
and
that
it
be
left
to
the
Minister's
choice
to
use
one
or
other
at
his
discretion
.
In
the
mean
time
,
and
till
this
be
done
,
although
we
do
heartily
wish
and
desire
,
that
the
Ministers
in
their
several
Churches
,
because
they
dislike
some
clauses
and
expressions
,
would
not
totally
lay
aside
the
Book
of
Common
Prayer
,
but
read
those
parts
against
which
there
can
be
no
exception
;
which
would
be
the
best
instance
of
declining
those
marks
of
distinction
,
which
we
so
much
labour
and
desire
to
remove
;
yet
in
compassion
to
divers
of
our
good
subjects
,
who
scruple
the
use
of
it
as
now
it
is
,
Our
will
and
pleasure
is
,
that
none
be
punished
or
troubled
for
not
using
it
,
until
it
be
reviewed
and
effectually
reform'd
as
aforesaid
.
concerning
Ceremonies
,
which
have
administred
so
much
matter
of
difference
and
contention
,
and
which
have
been
introduced
by
the
wisdom
and
authority
of
the
Church
for
Edification
,
and
the
Improvement
of
Piety
:
we
shall
say
no
more
,
but
that
we
have
the
more
esteem
of
all
and
Reverence
for
many
of
them
,
by
having
been
present
in
many
of
those
Churches
where
they
are
most
abolished
,
or
discountenanced
and
it
cannot
be
doubted
,
but
that
,
every
National
Church
,
with
the
approbation
and
consent
of
the
Soveraign
Power
,
may
,
and
hath
always
introduced
such
particular
Ceremonies
,
as
in
that
conjuncture
of
time
are
thought
most
proper
for
Edification
,
and
the
necessary
improvement
of
Piety
,
and
devotion
in
the
people
,
though
the
necessary
practice
thereof
cannot
be
deduced
from
Scripture
;
and
that
which
before
was
,
and
in
it self
is
indifferent
,
ceaseth
to
be
indifferent
,
after
it
is
once
established
by
Law
:
And
therefore
our
present
consideration
and
work
is
,
to
gratifie
the
private
Conscience
of
those
who
are
grieved
with
the
use
of
some
Ceremonies
,
by
indulging
to
,
and
dispensing
with
their
omitting
those
Ceremonies
receive
the
Blessed
Sacrament
upon
our
knees
,
which
in
our
Conscience
is
the
most
humble
,
the
most
devout
,
and
the
most
agreeable
posture
for
that
holy
duty
,
some
other
men
,
upon
reasons
best
,
if
not
only
known
to
themselves
,
choose
rather
to
do
it
sitting
or
standing
;
none
shall
be
denied
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lord's
Supper
,
though
they
do
not
use
the
gesture
of
kneeling
in
the
act
of
receiving
.
out
of
Compassion
and
compliance
towards
those
who
would
forbear
the
Cross
in
Baptism
,
we
are
content
that
no
man
shall
be
compelled
to
use
the
same
,
or
suffer
for
not
doing
it
:
But
if
any
Parent
desire
to
have
his
Child
Christened
according
to
the
form
used
,
and
the
Minister
will
not
use
the
sign
,
it
shall
be
lawful
for
that
Parent
to
procure
another
Minister
to
do
it
:
And
if
the
proper
Minister
shall
refuse
to
omit
that
Ceremony
of
the
Cross
,
it
shall
be
lawful
for
the
Parent
,
who
would
not
have
his
Child
so
baptised
,
to
procure
another
Minister
to
do
it
,
who
will
do
it
according
to
his
desire
.
man
shall
be
compelled
to
bow
at
the
Name
of
IESVS
,
or
suffer
in
any
degree
for
not
doing
it
,
without
reproaching
those
who
out
of
their
Devotion
continue
that
Antient
Ceremony
of
the
Church

the
use
of
the
Surplice
,
we
are
contented
that
all
men
be
left
to
their
liberty
to
do
,
as
they
shall
think
fit
without
suffering
in
the
least
degree
for

,
or
not

it
;
provided
that
this
liberty
do
not
extend
to
our
own
Chappel
,
Cathedral
,
or
Collegiate
Churches
,
or
to
any
Colledge
in
either
of
our
Vniversities
;
but
that
the
several
Statutes
and
Customes
for
the
use
thereof
in
the
said
places
,
be
there
observed
as
formerly
.
because
some
men
,
otherwise
pious
and
learned
,
say
,
they
cannot
conform
unto
the
subscription
required
by
the
Canon
,
nor
take
the
Oath
of
Canonical
Obedience
;
we
are
content
,
and
it
is
our
will
and
pleasure
,
(
so
they
take
the
Oaths
of
Allegiance
and
Supremacy
)
that
they
shall
receive
Ordination
,
Institution
,
and
Induction
,
and
shall
be
permitted
to
exercise
their
Function
,
and
to
enjoy
the
profits
of
their
Livings
,
without
the
said
subscription
,
or
the
Oath
of
Canonical
Obedience
:
And
moreover
,
that
no
persons
in
the
Vniversities
shall
for
the
want
of
such
subscription
be
hindred
in
their
taking
of
their
degrees
;
lastly
,
that
none
be
judged
to
forfeit
his
Presentation
or
Benefice
,
or
be
deprived
of
it
,
upon

his
assent
to
all
the
Articles
of

,
which
only
concern
the
Confession
of
the
true
Christian
Faith
,
and
the
Doctrine
of
the
Sacraments
comprised
in
the
Book
of
Articles
in
the
said
Statute
mentioned
.
In
a
word
,
we
do
again
renew
what
we
have
formerly
said
in
our
declaration
from
for
the
liberty
of
tender
Consciences
,
that
no
man
shall
be
disquieted
or
called
in
question
for
differences
of
Opinion
in
matters
of
Religion
,
which
do
not
disturb
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdome
.
leave
all
decisions
and
determinations
of
this
kind
,
if
they
shall
be
thought
necessary
for
a
perfect
and
entire
Vnity
and
Vniformity
throughout
the
Nation
,
to
the
advice
of
a
National
Synod
,
Of
the
same
be
duly
called
,
after
a
little
time
,
and
a
mutual
Conversation
between
persons
of
different
persuasions
,
hath
mollified
those
distempers
,
abated
those
sharpnesses
,
and
extinguished
those
jealousies
,
which
make
men
unfit
for
those
Consultations
:
and
,
upon
such
advice
we
shall
use
our
best
endeavour
that
such
laws
may
be
established
,
as
may
best
provide
for
the
peace
of
the
Church
and
State
.
conclude
,
and
in
this
place
to
explain
what
we
mentioned
before
,
and
said
in
our
Letter
to
the
House
of
Commons
from
that
we
hoped
in
due
time
,
our self
to
propose
somewhat
for
the
propagation
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
that
will
satisfie
the
world
,
that
we
have
always
made
it
both
our
care
and
our
study
,
and
have
enough
observed
what
is
most
like
to
bring
disadvantage
to
it
:
We
do
conjure
all
our
Loving
Subjects
to
acquie
see
in
,
and
submit
to
this
our
Declaration
concerning
those
differences
which
have
so
much
disquieted
the
Nation
at
home
,
and
given
such
offence
to
the
Protestant
Churches
abroad
,
and
brought
such
reproach
upon
the
Protestant
Religion
in
general
,
from
the
Enemies
thereof
;
as
if
upon
obscure
notions
of
faith
and
fancy
,
it
did
admit
the
practice
of
Christian
duties
and
obedience
to
be
discountenanced
and
suspended
,
and
introduce
a
Licence
in
opinions
and
manners
to
the
prejudice
of
the
Christian
Faith
.
And
let
us
all
endeavour
,
and
emulate
each
other
in
those
endeavours
,
to
countenance
and
advance
the
Protestant
Religion
abroad
,
which
will
be
best
done
by
supporting
the
dignity
and
Reverence
due
to
the
best
reformed
Protestant
Church
at
home
:
and
which
being
once
freed
from
the
Calumnies
and
reproaches
it
hath
undergone
from
these
late
ill
times
,
will
be
the
best
shelter
for
those
abroad
,
which
will
by
that
countenance
both
be
the
better
protected
against
their
Enemies
,
and
be
the
more
easily
induced
to
compose
the
differences
among
themselves
,
which
give
their
Enemies
more
advantage
against
them
.
it
must
not
be
wondered
at
,
that
being
so
zealous
as
we
are
,
(
and
by
the
grace
of
God
shall
ever
be
)
for
the
maintenace
of
the
True
Protestant
His
Majesties
Declaration
to
all
his
loving
Subjects
,
Religion
,
finding
it
so
shaken
(
not
to
say
overthrown
)
as
we
did
,
we
should
give
its
Establishment
the
Precedency
before
Matters
of
Indulgence
to
Dissenters
from
it
.
We
have
been
zealous
to
settle
the
Vniformity
of
the
Church
of
in
Discipline
,
Ceremony
and
Government
,
and
shall
ever
constantly
maintain
it
.
viz.
We
do
declare
a
Liberty
to
tender
Consciences
,
and
that
no
man
shall
be
disquieted
,
or
called
in
question
for
differences
of
Opinion
in
Matters
of
Religion
,
which
do
not
disturb
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
that
we
shall
be
ready
to
consent
to
such
an
Act
of
Parliament
as
upon
mature
deliberation
shall
be
offered
to
us
for
the
full
granting
that
Indulgence
.
as
for
what
concerns
the
Penalties
upon
those
who
(
living
peaceably
)
do
not
conform
thereunto
to
the
Act
of
Vniformity
)
through
scruple
and
tenderness
of
misguided
conscience
,
but
modestly
and
without
scandal
perform
their
Devotions
in
their
own
way
:
We
shall
make
it
our
special
care
,
so
far
forth
as
in
us
lies
,
without
invading
the
freedom
of
Parliament
to
incline
their
wisdom
at
this
next
approaching
Sessions
,
to
concur
with
us
in
the
His
Majesties
Declaration
to
all
his
loving
Subjects
,
Published
by
advice
of
his
Privy
Council
,
making
some
such
Act
for
that
purpose
,
as
may
enable
us
to
exercize
with
a
more
universal
satisfaction
,
That
Parliament
to
which
those
promises
were
made
in
relation
to
an
Act
never
thought
fit
to
offer
us
any
to
that
purpose
.
)
I
say
to
exercize
with
a
more
universal
satisfaction
,
that
power
of
dispencing
which
we
conceive
to
be
inherent
in
us
:
Nor
can
we
doubt
of
their
chearful
cooperating
with
us
in
a
thing
wherein
we
do
conceive
our selves
so
far
engaged
,
both
in
Honour
,
and
in
what
we
owe
to
the
Peace
of
our
Dominions
;
which
we
profess
we
can
never
think
secure
,
whilst
there
shall
be
a
colour
left
to
the
malicious
and
disaffected
,
to
inflame
the
minds
of
so
many
Multitudes
upon
the
Score
of
Conscience
,
with
despair
of
ever
obtaining
any
effect
of
our
promises
for
their
ease

for
the
Preservation

Rights
and

His
Majesties
Declaration
to
all
his
Loving
Subjects
,
of
the
Church
,
have
been
sufficiently
manifested
to
the
World
,
by
the
whole
course
of
our
Government
,
since
our
happy
Restauration
,
and
by
the
many
,
and
frequent
ways
of
Coercion
that
we
have
used
for
reducing
all
erring
or
dissenting
persons
,
and
for
composing
the
unhappy
differences
in
matters
of
Religion
,
which
we
found
among
our
Subjects
upon
our
Return
;
but
it
being
evident
by
the
sad
experience
of
twelve
years
,
that
there
is
very
little
Fruit
of
all
those
forcible
Courses
;
We
think
our Self
obliged
to
make
use
of
that
Supreme
Power
in
Ecclesiastical
Matters
,
which
is
not
only
inherent
in
us
,
but
hath
been
declared
and
recognized
to
be
so
by
several
Statutes
and
Acts
of
Parliaments
:
and
therefore
we
do
now
accordingly
Isiue
this
our
Declaration
,
as
well
for
the
quieting
the
minds
of
our
good
Subjects
in
these
Points
,
for
inviting
Srangers
in
this
Conjuncture
,
to
come
and
live
under
us
;
and
for
the
better
encouragement
of
all
to
a
chearful
following
of
their
Trade
and
Callings
,
from
whence
we
hope
by
the
blessing
of
God
,
to
have
many
good
and
happy
advantages
to
our
Government
,
as
also
for
preventing
for
the
future
,
the
danger
that
might
otherwise
arise
from
private
Meetings
,
and
seditious
Conventicles
.
In
the
first
place
we
declare
our
express
resolution
,
meaning
and
intention
,
to
be
,
That
the
be
preserved
,
and
remain
intire
in
its
Doctrine
,
Discipline
and
Government
,
as
now
it
stands
Established
by
Law
;
and
that
this
be
taken
to
be
,
as
it
is
,
the
Basis
,
Rule
,
and
Standard
of
the
general
and
publick
worship
of
God
;
and
that
the
Orthodox
,
Conformable
Clergy
do
receive
and
enjoy
the
Revenues
belonging
thereunto
;
and
that
no
person
,
though
of
a
different
Opinion
and
Perswasion
shall
be
exempt
from
paying
his
Tythes
,
or
other
Dues
whatsoever
.
And
further
we
declare
,
that
no
person
shall
be
capable
of
holding
any
Benefice
,
Living
,
or
Ecclesiastical
Dignity
or
Preferment
of
any
kind
in
this
our
Kingdom
of
who
is
not
exactly
conformable
do
in
the
next
place
declare
our
will
and
pleasue
to
be
,
that
the
execution
of
all
,
and
all
manner
of
penal
Laws
in
Matters
Ecclesiastical
,
against
whatsoever
sort
of
Nonconformists
or
Recusants
,
be
immediately
suspended
,
and
they
are
hereby
suspended

,
and
other
Officers
whatsoever
,
whether
Ec-clesiastical
or
Civil
,
are
to
take
notice
of
it
,
and
pay
due
Obedience
thereunto
.
that
there
may
be
no
pretence
for
any
of
our
Subjects
to
continue
their
illegal
Meetings
and
Conventicles
:
We
do
declare
that
we
shall
from
time
to
time
allow
a
sufficient
number
of
places
as
they
shall
be
desired
,
in
all
parts
of
this
our
Kingdom
,
for
the
use
of
such
as
do
not
conform
to
the
to
meet
and
assemble
in
,
inorder
to
their
publick
worship
and
devotion
;
which
places
shall
be
open
and
free
to
all
persons
.
to
prevent
such
disorders
and
inconveniences
,
as
may
happen
by
this
our
indulgence
,
if
not
duely
regulated
,
and
that
they
may
be
the
better
protected
by
the
Civil
Magistrate
;
Our
express
will
and
pleasure
is
,
that
none
of
our
Subjects
do
presume
to
meet
in
any
place
,
until
such
place
be
allowed
,
and
the
Teacher
of
that
Congregation
be
approved
by
us
.
lest
any
should
apprehend
that
this
Restriction
should
make
our
said
allowance
and
approbation
difficult
to
be
obtained
:
We
do
further
declare
,
that
this
our
indulgence
as
to
the
allowance
of
the
publick
places
of
worship
,
and
approbation
of
the
Teachers
,
shall
extend
to
all
sorts
of
Nonconformists
and
Recusants
,
except
the
Recusants
of
the
Roman
Catholick
Religion
,
If
after
this
our
Clemency
and
Indulgence
,
any
of
our
Subjects
shall
presume
to
abuse
this
Liberty
,
and
shall
preach
seditiously
,
or
to
the
derogation
of
the
Doctrine
,
Discipline
,
or
Government
of
the
Established
Church
,
or
shall
meet
in
places
not
allow'd
by
us
:
We
do
hereby
give
them
warning
,
and
declare
,
we
will

I
thank
you
for
it
,

I
presume
it
proceeds
from

good

of
Piety

Devotion

I
must
tell

I
have
the

luck
in

if
,
after

of
being

I
was
abroad

I
am
suspected
of
being

am
come

I
know
you
will
not
take
it
unkindly
,
if
I
tell
you
,
that
I
am
as
zealous
for

any
of
you
can
be
,

am
enough
acqainted
with
the
Enemies
of

sides
;
that
I
am
as
much
in

you
can
wish

have
prejudice
enough
to
those
who
do
not
love
it
who
,
I
hope
in
time
,
will
be
better
informed
and
change
their
minds
;
and
you
may
be
confident

I
do
as
much

see

to

think
may

do

as

that

as

AND
this
not
only
during

time
(
of
which
I
am
sure
you
have
no
fear
)
but
in
all
future
ages
,
even
to
the
end
of
the
world
.
I
meet
you
here
with
the
most
earnest
desire
that
Man
can
have
,
to
unite
the
minds
of
all
my
Subjects
,
both
to
me
,
and
to
one
another
,
and
I
resolve
it
shall
be
your
faults
,
if
the
success
be
not
suitable
to
my
desires
:
I
have
done
many
great
things
already
in
order
to
that
end
;
as
the
Exclusion
of
the
Popish
Lords
from
their
Seats
in
Parliament
,
And
above
all
,
I
have
commanded
His
Majesties
Speech
to
both
Houses
,
on
my
Brother
to
absent
himself
from
me
,
because
I
would
not
leave
the
most
malicious
men
room
to
say
,
I
had
not
removed
all
causes
which
could
be
pretended
to
influence
me
towards
Popish
Councels
.
BESIDES
that
end
of
Vnion
which
I
am
at
(
and
which
I
wish
could
be
extended
to
Protestants
abroad
as
well
as
at
home
)
I
purpose
by
this
last
step
I
have
made
to
discern
whether
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
peace
of
the
Kingdome
be
as
truly
aim'd
at
by
others
,
as
they
are
really
intended
by
me
.
I
do
give
you
this
assurance
,
that
I
will
with
my
life
defend
both
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
Laws
of
this
Kingdom
.
if
his
Majesty
had
wanted
any
evidence
of
his
Zeal
for
our
Religion
,
surely
this
testimony
from
his
Enemies
,
who
were
about
to
sacrifice
him
for
it
,
is
sufficient
to
satisfie
the
whole

may
be

jealousie

made
this
Address
necessary
;
and
indeed
,
I
believe
nothing
hath
contributed
more
to
that
jealousie

than
my

confidence
that
it
was
impossible
there
should
be

jealousie

confidence
I
shall
give
you
satisfaction

and
then
I
am
sure
you
will
easily
satisfie

compose

minds
of

having
seriously
considered
it
,
and
having
made
some
reflections
upon
himself
and
his
own
actions
is
not
a
little
troubled
,
that
his
Lenity
and
Condescensions
towards
many
of
the
Popish
Perswasion
(
which
were
but
natural
effects
of
his
generositie
,
and
good
nature
,
have
been
made
so
ill
use
of
,
and
so
ill
deserved
,
that
the
Resort
of
into
this
Kingdom
hath
been
thereby
encreased
,
with
which
his
Majesty
is
,
and
hath
long
been
highly
offended
;
and
therefore
his
Majesty
readily
concurs
with
the
Advice
of
his
Two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
and
hath
given
order
for
the
preparing
and
issuing
out
such
a
Proclamation
as
is
desired
:
—
and
his
Majesty
will
take
farther
care
that
the
same
shall
be
effectual
,
at
least
to
a
greater
degree
than
any
Proclamation
of
this
kind
hath
ever
been
.
his
Majesty
further
declares
and
assures
both
his
Houses
of
Parliament
,
and
all
his
Loving
Subjects
of
all
his
Dominions
;
that
as
his
affection
and
zeal
for
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
Church
of
hath
not
been
concealed
,
or
untaken
notice
of
in
the
world
;
so
he
is
not
,
nor
will
ever
be
so
sollicitous
for
the
setling
his
own
Revenue
,
or
providing
any
other
expedients
for
the
Peace
and
Tranquillity
of
the
Kingdom
;
as
for
the
advancement
and
improvement
of
the
Religion
Established
;
and
for
the
using
and
applying
all
proper
and
effectual
remedies
to
hinder
the
Growth
of
Popery
,
both
which
he
doth
in
truth
look
upon
as
the
best
expedient
to
Establish
the
Peace
and
Prosperity
of
all
his
Kingdoms
.

to

pernicious
and
injurious
scandal
,
so
artificially
spread
&
fomented
,
of
our
favour
to
Papists
,
King
,
as
it
is
but
a
repetition
of
the
same
detestable
arts
,
by
which
all
the
The
same
Declaration
late
calamities
have
been
brought
upon
this
Kingdom
,
in
the
time
of
our
Royal
Father
of
Blessed
Memory
,
who
(
though
the
most
pious
and
zealous
Protestant
that
ever
Reign'd
in
this
Nation
,
)
could
never
wash
off
the
stains
cast
upon
him
by
that
malice
,
but
by
his
Martyrdom
;
We
conceive
our
Subjects
should
be
sufficiently
prepared
against
that
poison
by
memory
of
those
disasters
;
especially
,
since
nothing
is
more
evident
,
than
that
the
wicked
Authors
of
this
scandal
are
such
as
seek
to
involve
all
good
Protestants
under
the
odious
name
of
Papists
,
or
Popishly
affected
:
yet
we
cannot
but
say
upon
this
occasion
,
that
our
Education
and
course
of
Life
in
the
True
Protestant
Religion
,
hath
been
such
,
and
our
constancy
in
the
Profession
of
it
so
eminent
in
our
most
desperate
condition
abroad
among
Catholick
Princes
when
as
the
appearance
of
receding
from
it
had
been
the
likeliest
way
in
all
humane
forecast
,
to
have
procured
us
the
most
powerful
assistances
of
our
Re-establishment
,
that
should
any
of
our
Subjects
give
but
the
least
admission
of
that
scandal
into
their
beliefs
,
We
should
look
upon
it
as
the
most
impardonable
offence
that
they
can
be
guilty
of
towards
us
.
'T
is
true
,
that
as
we
shall
always
according
to
justice
retain
,
so
we
think
it
may
become
us
to
avow
to
the
world
a
due
sense
we
have
of
the
greatest
part
of
our
of
this
Kingdom
,
having
deserved
well
from
our
Royal
Father
of
blessed
Memory
,
and
from
us
,
and
even
from
the
Protestant
Religion
it self
,
in
adhering
to
us
with
their
Lives
and
Fortunes
for
the
maintainance
of
our
Crown
in
the
Religion
Established
against
those
who
under
the
name
of
zealous
Protestants
,
employed
both
fire
and
Sword
to
overthrow
them
both
.
We
shall
with
as
much
freedom
profess
unto
the
world
,
that
it
is
not
in
our
intention
to
exclude
our
Catholick
Subjects
who
have
so
demeaned
themselves
,
from
all
share
in
the
benefit
of
such
an
Act
,
the
Act
of
Indemnity
)
as
in
pursuance
of
our
promises
,
the
wisdom
of
our
Parliament
shall
think
fit
to
offer
unto
us
for
the
ease
of
tender
Consciences
.
It
might
appear
no
less
than
injustice
,
that
those
who
deserved
well
,
and
continued
to
do
so
,
should
be
denied
some
part
of
that

we
have
obliged
our Self
to
afford
to
ten
times

number
of
such
who

not
done
so

Besides

such
are
the
Capital
Laws
in

though
justified
in
their
vigour
by
the
times
in

they
were
made

We
profess
it
Would
be
grievous
unto
us
to
consent
to
the
execution
of
them
,
by
putting
any
of
our
Subjects
to
death
for
their
Opinions
in
matters
of
Religion
only
:
but
at
the
same
time
,
That
we
declare
our
little
liking
of
those
Sanguinary
Ones

our
Gracious
Intentions
already
expressed
to
such
of
our
Catholick
Subjects

as
shall
live
peaceably
,
modestly
,
and
without
scandal
:
We
would
have
them
all
know
,
that
if
for
doing
what
their
Duties
&
Loyalties
obliged
them
to
,
or
from
our
acknowledgment
of
their
well-deserving
,
they
shall
have
the
presumption
to
hope
for
a
Toleration
of
their
Profession
,
or
a
taking
away
either
those
marks
of
distinction
,
or
of
our
displeasure
,
which
in
a
well-governed
Kingdom
ought
always
to
be
set
upon
Dissenters
from
the
Religion
of
the
State
,
or
to
obtain
the
least
remission
in
the
strictness
of
those
Laws
,
which
either
are
,
or
shall
be
made
to
hinder
the
spreading
of
their
Doctrine
,
to
the
prejudice
of
the
True
Protestant
Religion
;
or
that
upon
our
expressing
(
according
to
Christian
Charity
)
our
dislike
of
Bloodshed
for
Religion
only
;
Priests
shall
take
the
boldness
to
appear
,
and
avow
themselves
to
the
offence
and
scandal
of
good
Protestants
,
and
of
the
Laws
in
force
against
them
:
They
shall
quickly
find
we
know
as
well
to
be
severe
,
when
wisdom
requires
,
as
indulgent
when
charity
and
sense
of
Merit
challenge
it
from
us

WitH
this
we
have
thought
fit
to
arm

against
the
practises
of

ill
ones
,
by
a
True
Knowledg
of

of
which
now
rightly
perswaded

we
make
no
question
,
but
that
whatsoever
they
be
from
whom
they
can
derive
the
spreading
or
fomenting
of
any
of
those
wicked
suggestions
,
they
will
look
upon
them
with
detestation
as
the
most

The

End
of
my
Calling

now
,
is
to
know
what

you
think
may
be
yet
wanting
to
the
Security
of

The

I
think
I
have
given
sufficient
Evidence
to
the

,
that
I
have
not
been
wanting
on
my
part
,
The

to
both

in
my
Endeavours
to
procure
the
full
Satisfaction
of
all
my

in
the
matters
both
of

and

.
I
have
not
only
invited
you
to
those
Considerations
at
our
first
Meeting
,
but
I
have
been
careful
,
through
this
whole
Session
,
that
no

of
my
own
should
divert
you
from
them

declare

that
I
am

gratifie

further
The

securing
of
your
Liberty

(
if
you
can
think
you
want
it
)
by
as
many
good
Laws
as
you
shall
propose

as
can
consist

the
Safety

without
which
there
will
neither
be

Having

I
shall

it

I
do
expect

require
from
you
,
that
all
occasions

the
two

be
carefully
avoided
:
For
else
they
,
who

hope
by

Iudge
who
is
most
for

they
that

in

WHICH
most
sincere
Profession
of

may
suffice
also
to
expose
the
Wickedness

by
being

you

to

To
the
intent
that
no
Crime
whatsoever
committed
against
His
Majesty
,
or
his
Royal
Father
,
should
hereafter
rise
in
Judgment
,
or
be

against

and
to
bury
all
Seeds
of

Discords

and
remembrance
of
the
former
;
as
well
in
his
own
Breast
,
as
in
the
Breasts
of
his
Subjects
one
towards
another
:
just
Rights
Certainly
there
can
be
no
greater
Evidence
,
The
Kings
Declaration
that
the
Passing
it
did
proceed
from
the
Clemenly
of
our
Nature
,
than
that
we
have
been
pleased
to
make
it
our
especial
care
to
have
it
confirmed
by
a
new
Act
:
and
whereas
,
we
not
only
consented
unto
,
but
most
earnestly
desired
the
passing
that
Act
at
first
,
and
confirming
it
since
,
as
being
no
less
conformable
to
our
Nature
,
than
conducible
to
a
happy
Settlement
:
so
we
do
hereby
most
solemnly
renew
unto
all
our
Subjects
concerned
in
it
,
this
Engagement
,
on
the
Word
of
a
King
,
that
it
shall
never
be
in
the
power
of
any
Person
or
Interest
whatsoever
,
to
make
us
decline
from
the
Religious
Observance
of
it
.
I
shall
conclude
with
this
,
which
I
cannot
say
too
often
,
nor
you
too
often
,
where
The
King's
Speech
you
go
that
next
to
the
miraculous
Blessing
of
God
Almighty
and
indeed
,
as
an
immediate
Effect
of
that
Blessing
,
I
do
impute
the
good
Disposition
and
Security
we
are
all
in
,
to
the
happy
Act
of
Indemnity
and
Oblivion
:
that
is
the
principal
Corner-Stone
which
supports
this
excellent
Building
,
that
creates
kindness
in
us
to
each
other
;
and
Confidence
is
our
joynt
and
common
Security
.
You
may
be
sure
,
I
will
not
only
observe
it
Religiously
and
Inviolably
my self
,
but
also
exact
the
Observation
of
it
from
others
.
And
if
any
Person
should
ever
have
the
boldness
to
attempt
to
perswade
me
to
the
contrary
,
he
will
find
such
an
Acceptation
from
me
,
as
he
would
have
,
who
should
perswade
me
to
burn
cancel
all
the
old
Laws
,
and
to
erect
a
new
Government
after
my
own
Invention
and
Appetite
.
Above
all
,
I
must
repeat
what
I
said
when
I
was
last
here
,
that
next
to
the
miraculous
Blessing
of
God
Almighty
;
and
indeed
,
as
an
immediate
Effect
of
that
Blessing
,
I
do
impute
the
good
Disposition
and
Security
we
are
all
in
,
to
the
happy
Act
of
Indemnity
and
Oblivion
:
that
is
the
principal
Corner-Stone
which
supports
this
excellent
Building
,
that
creates
Kindness
in
us
to
each
other
,
and
Confidence
is
our
joynt
and
common
Security
.
I
am
sure
I
am
still
of
the
same
Opinion
The
King's
Speech
at
the
Opening
of
the
Parliament
.
and
more
,
if
it
be
possible
,
of
that
Opinion
,
than
I
was
,
by
the
Experience
I
have
of
the
Benefit
of
it
,
and
from
the
unreasonableness
of
what
some
Men
say
against
it
;
though
,
I
assure
you
,
not
in
my
hearing
.
In
God's
Name
,
provide
full
Remedies
for
any
future
Mischiefs
,
be
as
severe
as
you
will
against
new
Offenders
;
especially
if
they
be
so
upon
old
Principles
;
and
pull
up
those
Principles
by
the
Roots
.
But
I
shall
never
think
him
a
Wise
Man
,
who
would
endeavour
to
undermine
or
shake
that
Foundation
of
our
Publick
Peace
,
by
Infringing
that
Act
in
the
least
degree
:
or
that
he
can
be
my
Friend
,
or
wish
me
well
,
who
would
perswade
me
ever
to
consent
to
the
Breach
of
a
Promise
,
I
so
solemnly
made
when
I
was
abroad
,
and
performed
with
that
Solemnity
;
because
,
and
after
I
promised
it
,
I
cannot
suspect
any
Attempts
of
that
kind
by
any
Men
of
Merit
and
Vertue
.

And
,
In
truth
,
I
do
thank
you
more
for
what
you
have
done

have
done

;

I
do

way
I
can
take
to
gratifie
you
,
I
will
not
apply
one
Penny
of

Money
to

Occasions

what
shift
soever
I
make
,
till
it
is
evident

me
,
that

will
not
stand
in
need
of
it
:
and
if
it
do
,
every
Penny
of
it
shall
be

that
way
;
and
,
I
dare
say
,
I
shall
not
be
the
poorer
for
it
.
The
Occasion
of
my
coming
hither
is
Extraordinary
:
It
is
to
say
something
to
you
on
my
own
behalf
,
The
King's
Speech
to
both
Houses
,
to
ask
somewhat
of
you
for
my self
which
is
more
than
I
have
done
of
you
,
or
of
those
who
met
here
before
you
,
since
my
coming
into
I
need
not
do
it
now
:
They
did
,
and
you
do
,
upon
all
Occasions
,
express
so
great
an
Affection
and
Care
of
all
that
concerns
me
,
that
I
may
very
well
refer
both
the
matter
and
the
manner
of
your
doing
any
thing
for
me
,
to
your
own
Wisdoms
and
Kindness
.
And
indeed
,
if
I
did
think
that
what
I
am
to
say
to
you
now
,
did
alone
,
or
did
most
concern
my self
;
if
the
uneasie
Condition
I
am
in
,
if
the
Straits
and
Necessities
I
am
to
struggle
with
;
did
not
manifestly
relate
to
the
publick
Peace
and
Safety
,
more
than
to
my
own
particular
,
otherwise
than
as
I
am
concerned
in
the
Publick
,
I
should
not
give
you
this
trouble
this
day
;
I
can
bear
my
Necessities
,
which
merely
relate
to
my self
,
with
patience
enough
▪
Insupportable
Weight
Publick
Necessities
the
Obligations
it
lieth
under
,
to
provide
for
the
Interest
,
Honour
and
Security
of
the
Nation
These
are
the
pressing
Occasions
which
I
am
forced
to
recommend
to
you
with
all
possible
Earnestness
,
and
do
conjure
you
to
provide
for
,
as
speedily
as
is
possible
;
and
in
such
a
manner
as
may
give
us
Security
at
home
,
and
some
Reputation
abroad
.
I
make
this
Discourse
to
you
with
some
Confidence
,
because
I
am
very
willing
and
desirous
that
you
should
throughly
examine
whether
these
Necessities
I
mention
be
Real
or
Imaginary
,
or
whether
they
are
fallen
upon
us
by
my
Fault
,
my
own
ill
Managery
or
Excesses
;
and
provide
for
them
accordingly
.
I
am
very
willing
that
you
make
a
full
Inspection
into
my
Revenue
,
as
well
the
Disbursements
as
Receipts
;
and
if
you
find
it
hath
been
ill
managed
by
any
Corruption
in
the
Officers
I
trust
or
by
my
own
Vnthriftiness
,
I
shall
take
the
Information
and
Advice
you
shall
give
me
very
kindly
:
I
say
,
if
you
find
it
:
for
I
would
not
have
you
believe
any
loose
Discourses
,
how
confidently
soever
urged
,
of
giving
away
Fourscore
Thousand
Pounds
in
a
Morning
,
and
many
other
Extravagancies
of
that
kind
.
I
have
much
more
reason
to
be
sorry
that
I
have
not
to
reward
those
who
have
ever
faithfully
served
the
King
my
Father
,
and
my self
,
than
ashamed
of
any
Bounty
I
have
exercised
towards
any
Man
.
some
necessary
Provisions
for
the
very
Safety
of
the
Kingdom
may
be
made
without
delay
:
in
truth
he
did
not
know
they
were
any
whit
nearer
setling
his
Revenue
than
they
were
The
King's
Speech
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
I
am
sure
I
have
communicated
my
Condition
to
you
without
Reserve
,
what
I
have
coming
in
,
and
what
my
necessary
Disbursements
are
;
and
I
am
exceedingly
deceived
,
if
whatever
you
give
me
,
be
any
otherwise
given
to
me
,
than
to
be
issued
out
for
your
own
use
and
benefit
.
Trust
me
,
it
shall
be
so
;
and
if
you
consider
it
well
,
you
will
find
that
you
are
the
richer
by
what
you
give
,
since
it
is
all
to
be
laid
out
,
that
you
may
enjoy
the
rest
in
Peace
and
Security
.
I
need
not
put
you
in
mind
of
the
miserable
Effects
which
have
attended
the
Wants
and
Necessities
of
the
Crown
;
I
need
not
tell
you
that
there
is
a
Republical
Party
still
in
the
Kingdom
,
which
hath
the
Courage
to
promise
themselves
another
Revolution
:
and
methinks
I
should
as
little
need
to
tell
you
that
the
only
way
,
with
God's
Blessing
,
to
disappoint
their
hopes
,
and
indeed
,
to
reduce
them
from
those
extravagant
Hopes
and
Desires
,
is
to
let
them
see
,
that
you
have
so
provided
for
the
Crown
,
that
it
hath
where
withal
to
support
it self
,
and
to
secure
you
;
which
I
am
sure
is
all
I
desire
,
and
desire
only
for
your
Preservation
.
Therefore
I
do
conjure
you
,
by
all
the
Professions
of
Affection
you
have
made
to
me
,
by
all
the
Kindness
I
know
you
have
for
me
,
after
all
your
Deliverations
,
betake
your selves
to
some
speedy
Resolutions
;
and
settle
such
a
real
and
substantial
Revenue
upon
me
,
as
may
hold
some
proportion
with
the
necessary
Expences
I
am
at
for
the
Peace
,
and
Benefit
,
and
Honour
of
the
Kingdom
:
that
they
who
look
for
Troubles
at
home
may
have
that
Esteem
and
Value
of
us
,
as
may
secure
the
Interest
and
Honour
of
the
Nation
,
and
make
the
Happiness
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
of
this
City
,
once
more
the
Admiration
and
Envy
of
the
World
.
Civil
Rights
You
have
so
much
obliged
me
,
not
only
in
the
The
King's
Speech
to
both
Houses
at
their
Prerogation
,
matter
of
those
Bills
which
concern
my
Revenue
,
but
in
the
manner
of
passing
them
,
with
so
great
Affection
and
Kindness
to
me
,
that
I
know
not
how
to
thank
you
enough
.
I
do
assure
you
,
and
I
pray
assure
your
Friends
in
the
Country
,
that
I
will
apply
all
you
have
given
me
to
the
utmost
Improvement
of
the
Peace
and
Happiness
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
will
▪
with
the
best
Advice
and
good
Husbandry
I
can
,
bring
my
Expences
within
a
narrower
Compass
.
The
Lord
Chancellor's
Speech
to
the
same
in
this
our
King
The
Lord
Keeper's
Speech
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
,
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
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
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
:
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
.
The
Lord
Chancellor's
Speech
to
both
Houses
,
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
:
The
Lord
Chancellor's
Speech
(
as
he
said
's
Speech
to
the
King
I
thank
you
for
this
other
Bill
of
Supply
which
you
have
The
King's
Speech
given
me
;
and
I
assure
you
,
the
Money
shall
be
laid
out
for
the
Ends
it
is
given
.
I
can
tell
you
truly
,
I
desire
to
put
you
to
as
little
Cost
as
is
possible
:
I
wish
with
all
my
Heart
,
The
King's
Speech
to
both
Houses
,
that
I
could
bear
the
whole
Charge
of
this
War
my self
,
and
that
my
Subjects
should
reap
the
benefit
of
it
to
themselves
.
Though
they
had
given
him
very
lar●e
Supplies
for
the
carrying
on
the
War
,
yet
he
was
forced
to
anticipate
his
own
Revenue
,
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
.
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
,
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
.
When
we
last
met
,
I
asked
you
a
Supply
,
and
I
ask
it
now
again
with
greater
Instance
.
The
Vneasiness
The
King's
Speech
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
,
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
all
for
the
War
.

Lord
Keeper's
Speech

I
heartily
thank
you
for
the
Supply
you
have
given
me
:
and
I
assure
The
King's
Speech
you
,
I
will
make
it
go
as
far
as
I
can
towards
the
Satisfying
of
my
Debts
.

The

is
very
far
from

War
for
War's
sake
:
And
as
that
cannot
be
well
made
without
a
Supply
,
so
neither
can
Peace
be
had
without
being
in
a
posture
of
War
:
Therefore
the
way
to
a
good
Peace
is
to
set
out
a
good
Fleet
;
and
if
after
,
a
good
Peace
should
follow
,
yet
the
Supply
would
be
well
given
whatever
remains
of
it
,
I
am
willing
should
be
appropriated
for
building
more
Ships
.

You
know
me
to
be
under
a
great
burthen
of
Debts
,
and
how
hard
a
shift
I
The
King's
Speech
am
making
to
pay
them
off
as
fast
as
I
can
.
The
Lord
Chancellor's
Speech
to
the
same
,
We
cannot
have
less
on
our
parts
than
ninety
Sail
of
Capital
Ships
constantly
maintained
;
nor
The
King's
Speech
less
than
thirty
or
forty
thousand
Land-Men
(
with
their
Dependencies
)
to
be
employed
upon
our
Fleets
,
and
elsewhere
.
And
because
there
shall
be
no
fear
of
mis-employing
what
you
shall
give
to
these
Vses
,
I
am
contented
that
such
Money
be
appropriated
to
those
ends
,
as
strictly
as
you
can
desire
.
I
have
given
testimony
enough
of
my
Care
in
that
kind
,
by
the
Progress
I
have
made
in
building
the
new
Ships
:
wherein
,
for
the
making
them
more
useful
,
I
have
directed
such
larger
Dimensions
as
will
cost
me
above
one
hundred
thousand
Pounds
more
than
the
Act
allows
.
I
have
gone
as
far
as
I
could
in
repairing
the
old
Fleet
,
and
in
buying
of
necessary
Stores
for
the
Navy
and
Ordnance
.
My
Revenue
is
under
great
Anticipations
,
The
King's
Speech
to
both
Houses
,
was
,
at
the
best
,
never
equal
to
the
constant
and
necessary
Expence
of
the
Government
;
whereof
I
intend
to
have
the
whole
State
laid
before
you
,
and
require
you
to
look
into
it
,
and
consider
of
it
,
with
that
Duty
and
Affection
which
I
am
sure
I
shall
always
find
from
you
.

Chancellor's
Speech
The
Lord
Chancellor's
Speech
The
Lord
Chancellor's
Speech
's
Speech
to
the
King
on
the
Prorogation
WE
do
assure
you
,
upon
our
Royal
Word
,
that
none
of
our
Predecessors
have
had
a
The
King's
Letter
to
the
Speaker
of
the
Commons
from
greater
Esteem
of
Parliaments
,
than
we
have
,
in
our
Iudgment
,
as
well
as
from
our
Obligation
.
We
do
believe
them
to
be
so
Vital
a
Part
of
the
Constitution
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
so
necessary
for
the
Government
of
it
,
that
we
well
know
,
neither
Prince
nor
People
can
be
,
in
any
tolerable
degree
,
happy
without
them
:
And
therefore
you
may
be
confident
,
that
we
shall
always
look
upon
their
Counsels
as
the
best
we
can
receive
,
and
shall
be
as
tender
of
their
Privileges
,
and
as
careful
to
preserve
and
protect
them
,
as
of
that
which
is
most
near
to
our self
,
and
most
necessary
for
our
own
Preservation
.
AND
,
as
this
is
our
Opinion
of
Parliaments
,
that
their
Authority
is
most
necessary
for
the
Government
of
the
Kingdom
,
so
we
are
most
confident
that
you
believe
,
and
find
,
that
the
Preservation
of
the
King's
Authority
is
as
necessary
for
the
Preservation
of
Parliaments
and
that
it
is
not
the
Name
,
but
the
right
Constitution
of
them
,
which
can
prepare
and
apply
proper
Remedies
for
those
Evils
which
are
grievous
to
the
People
,
and
which
can
thereby
establish
their
Peace
and
Security
.
And
therefore
we
have
not
the
least
doubt
,
but
that
you
will
be
as
tender
in
,
and
as
jealous
of
any
thing
that
may
infringe
our
Honour
,
or
impair
our
Authority
,
as
of
your
own
Liberty
and
Property
,
which
is
best
preserved
by
preserving
the
other
.
HOW
far
We
have
trusted
you
in
this
great
Affair
,
and
how
much
it
is
in
your
Id.
pag.
Power
to
restore
the
Nation
to
all
that
it
hath
lost
,
and
to
redeem
it
from
any
Infamy
it
hath
undergone
,
and
to
make
King
and
People
as
happy
as
they
ought
to
be
,
you
will
find
by
Our
inclosed
Declaration
(
a
Copy
of
which
We
have
likewise
sent
to
the
House
of
Peers
;
)
and
you
will
easily
belie●e
that
We
would
not
voluntarily
,
and
of
Our Self
,
have
reposed
so
great
a
Trust
in
you
,
but
upon
an
entire
Confidence
,
that
you
will
not
abuse
it
,
and
that
you
will
proceed
in
such
a
manner
,
and
with
such
due
Consideration
of
Vs
,
who
have
trusted
you
,
that
We
shall
not
be
ashamed
of
declining

that
We
have
bound
up
Our
own
Interest
so
entirely
with
that

that
We
refer

We
look
upon

Wise

good

who
will
raise
up
those

We

And
The

I
hope
you
will
all
joyn
with
me
,
in
reducing
the
Proceedings
of
Parliaments
to
the
Ancient
Rules
and
Orders
of

,
the
Deviation
from
which
hath
done
us
no

.
I
will
tell
you
,
that
when
God
brought
me
hither
,
I
brought
with
me
an
extraordinary
Affection
and
Esteem
for
The
King's
Speech
at
the
Dissolution
Parliaments
.
I
need
not
tell
you
how
much
it
is
improved
by
your
Carriage
towards
me
.
You
have
outdone
all
the
good
and
obliging
Acts
of
your
Predecessors
towards
the
Crown
;
and
therefore
,
you
cannot
but
believe
my
Heart
is
exceedingly
enlarged
with
the
Acknowledgment
.
MANY
former
Parliaments
have
had
particular
Denominations
from
what
they
have
done
:
They
have
been
styled
and
sometimes
have
had
worse
Epithits
:
I
pray
,
let
us
all
resolve
,
that
this
be
for
ever
called
,
AS
I
thank
you
,
though
not
enough
,
for
what
you
have
done
;
so
I
have
not
the
least
doubt
,
by
the
Blessing
of
God
,
but
when
I
shall
call
the
next
Parliament
,
which
I
shall
do
as
soon
as
you
can
reasonably
expect
or
desire
,
I
shall
receive
your
Thanks
for
what
I
have
done
since
I
parted
with
you
:
For
,
I
deal
truly
with
you
,
I
shall
not
more
propose
any
one
Rule
to
my self
in
my
Actions
,
and
my
Counsels
,
than
this
And
it
shall
be
want
of
Vnderstanding
in
me
,
if
it
will
not
bear
that
Test

The
Lord

He
hath
caused
two
Bills
to
be
prepared
for
you
(

which
are
for
Confirmation
of
all
that
was
enacted
at
our
last
Meeting

as
the

said
The
Lord
Chancellor's
Speech
The
Lord
Chancellor's
Speech
I
need
not
tell
you
how
much
I
love
Parliaments
:
The
King's
Speech
to
both
Houses
,
Never
King
was
to
much
beholding
to
Parliaments
as
I
have
been
,
nor
do
I
think
the
Crown
can
ever
be
happy
without
frequent
Parliaments
.
An
Act
for
the
Assembling
and
Holding
of
Parliaments
once
in
three
Years
,
at
the
least
:
An
Act
for
the
preventing
of
Inconveniences
happening
by
the
long
Intermission
of
Parliaments
:
You
will
easily
believe
that
I
have
come
very
willingly
to
give
my
The
King's
Speech
Assent
to
this
Bill
;
I
do
thank
you
very
heartily
for
your
so
Vnanimous
Concurrence
in
it
,
and
for
desiring
me
speedily
to
finish
it
:
And
if
I
understand
any
thing
that
concerns
the
Peace
and
Security
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Welfare
of
my
Subjects
,
(
all
which
I
study
more
than
my
Prerogative
:
Indeed
,
I
consider
my
Prerogative
,
only
in
order
to
preserving
the
other
)
every
good
Man
will
thank
you
for
it
.
For
the
Act
you
have
repealed
could
only
serve
to
discredit
Parliaments
,
to
make
the
Crown
Iealous
of
Parliaments
,
and
parliaments
of
the
Crown
,
and
perswade
Neighbour
Princes
that
was
not
Governed
under
a
Monarch
:
It
could
never
have
been
the
occasion
of
Frequent
Parliaments
.
I
do
promise
you
,
I
will
not
be
one
Hour
the
less
without
a
Parliament
for
this
Act
of
Repeal
.
They
are
the
Great
Physicians
of
the
Kingdom
:
And
though
I
do
very
willingly
pardon
all
that
is
pardoned
by
the
Act
of
Iudemnity
;
yet
,
for
the
time
to
The
King's
Speech
to
both
Houses
,
come
,
the
same
Discretion
and
Conscience
which
disposed
me
to
the
Clemency
I
have
expressed
,
which
is
most
agreeable
to
my
Nature
,
will
oblige
me
to
all
Rigour
and
Severity
,
how
contrary
soever
it
be
to
my
Nature
,
towards
those
who
shall
not
now
acquiesce
,
but
continue
to
manifest
their
Sedition
,
and
dislike
of
the
Government
,
either
in
Actions
or
Words
.
And
I
must
conjure
you
all
(
my
Lords
and
Gentlemen
)
to
concur
with
me
in
this
just
and
necessary
Severity
;
and
that
you
will
,
in
your
several
Stations
,
be
so
jealous
of
the
publick
Peace
,
and
of
my
particular
Honour
,
that
you
will
cause
Exemplary
Iustice
to
be
done
upon
those
who
are
guilty
of
Seditious
Speeches
or
Writings
,
as
well
as
those
who
break
out
into
Seditious
Actions
;
and
that
you
will
believe
those
who
delight
in
reproaching
and
traducing
my
Person
,
not
to
be
well
affected
to
You
,
and
the
Publick
Peace
.
I
will
not
entertain
The
King's
Speech
you
with
a
long
Discourse
;
the
sum
of
all
I
have
to
say
to
you
,
being
but
to
give
you
thanks
,
very
hearty
thanks
:
And
I
assure
you
,
I
find
it
a
very
difficult
Work
to
satisfie
my self
in
my
own
Expressions
of
those
Thanks
.
Perfunctory
Thanks
,
Ordinary
Thanks
for
Ordinary
Civilities
are
easily
given
;
but
when
the
Heart
is
as
full
as
mine
is
,
it
is
a
Labour
to
thank
you
:
You
have
taken
great
pains
to
oblige
me
,
and
therefore
it
cannot
be
easie
for
me
to
express
the
sense
I
have
of
it
.

Mr.

What
have
I
done
?
I
wish
that
Gentleman
and
I
were
acquainted

that
he
knew
me
better

Solomon
,
Because
that
God
hath
loved
his
people
,
he
hath
made
thee
King
over
them
No
man
can
say
,
that
hath
made
the
most
curious
search
into
Books
or
Records
,
that
there
ever
was
such
a
Parliament
as
this
:
And
it
s
our
unspeakable
joy
and
comfort
that
no
man
can
say
,
so
long
as
your
Majesty
lives
,
but
we
may
have
such
another
:
You
have
set
your
Royal
heart
upon
it
,
to
do
your
people
good
.
I
think
there
are
not
many
of
you
who
are
not
particularly
known
to
me
;
there
are
very
few
of
whom
I
have
not
heard
so
much
good
,
that
I
am
as
sure
as
I
can
be
of
any
thing
that
is
to
come
,
that
you
will
all
concur
with
me
,
and
that
I
shall
concur
with
you
in
all
things
which
may
advance
the
peace
,
plenty
,
and
prosperity
of
the
Nation
,
I
shall
be
exceedingly
deceived
else

Lord
Chanc.
Speech
to
the
same
,
I
do
speak
my
heart
to
you
,
when
I
tell
you
,
that
I
do
believe
,
that
from
the
first
Institutions
of
Parliaments
,
to
this
hour
,
there
was
never
a
House
of
Commons
fuller
of
affection
and
duty
to
their
King
,
than
you
are
to
me
;
never
any
that
was
more
desirous
and
solicitous
to
gratifie
the
King
,
than
you
are
to
oblige
me
;
never
a
House
of
Commons
,
in
which
there
were
fewer
persons
without
a
full
measure
of
zeal
,
for
the
honour
and
welfare
of
the
King
and
Country
,
than
there
are
in
this
.
repealed
that
Act
,
which
excluded
the
Bishops
from
sitting
in
Parliament
You
have
thereby
restored
Parliaments
to
their
primitive
Institutions
.
I
hope
,
my
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
you
will
in
a
short
time
restore
them
to
the
primitive
order
and
gravity
of
debates
and
determinations
,
which
the
license
of
the
late
distempered
times
had
so
much
corrupted
,
which
is
the
only
way
to
restore
Parliaments
to
its
primitive
veneration
with
the
people
,
which
I
heartily
wish
they
should
always
have
.

of
them

the
most
able
to

him
in
all
the
Affairs

Interests
of
this

And
by
the
constant
advice
of
such
a
Councel
,
his
Majesty
is
resolved
hereafter
to
govern
his
Kingdoms
,
together
with
the
frequent
use
of
his
Great
Councel
of
Parliament
,
which
he
takes
to
be
the
true
ancient
Constitution
of
this
State
and
Government
.
for
the
greater
Dignity
of
this
Councel
,
his
Majesty
resolves
their
number
shall
be
limited
to
that
of
thirty
:
And
for
their
greater
Authority
,
there
shall
be
fifteen
of
his
Chief
Officers
,
who
shall
be
Privy-Counsellors
by
their
Places
:
And
for
the
other
fifteen
,
he
will
choose
ten
out
of
the
several
Ranks
of
the
Nobility
,
and
five
Commoners
of
the
Realm
,
whose
known
Abilities
,
Interest

and
Esteem
in
the
Nation
,
shall
render
them
without
all
suspicion
of
either
mistaking
or
betraying
the
true
Interests
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
consequently
of
advising
him
ill
.
Without
hearing
the
advice
of
my
Privy-Councel
,
as
I
never
did
,
so
I
never
will
resolve
any
thing
of
publick
importance
I
have
made
choice
of
such
persons
as
are
worthy
and
able
to
advise
me
,
and
am
resolved
in
all
my
weighty
and
important
affairs
,
next
to
the
advice
of
my
great
Councel
in
Parliament
,
(
which
I
shall
very
often
consult
with
)
to
be
advised
by
this
Privy-Councel
Councels
,
with
unwearied
labour
to
consult
for
the
service
of
his
Majesty
,
and
the
good
of
this
Nation
so
would
our
Fields
grow
white
to
Harvest
.
You
see
,
God
be
thanked
,
you
have
met
together
again
at
the
time
appointed
,
and
I
do
assure
you
I
have
been
so
far
from
ever
intending
it
should
be
otherwise
,
that
I
do
not
know
one
person
who
ever
wished
it
should
be
otherwise
.
Think
therefore
,
I
pray
,
what
good
meaning
those
men
could
have
,
who
from
the
time
of
the
Prorogation
,
to
the
day
of
your
meeting
,
have
continually
whispered
,
and
industriously
infused
into
the
minds
of
the
people
,
that
the
Parliament
should
meet
no
more
;
that
it
should
either
be
presently
dissolved
,
or
so
continued
by
Prorogation
,
that
they
should
be
kept
without
a
Parliament
.
I
pray
watch
these
whisperers
all
you
can
,
as
men
who
use
their
utmost
endeavours
to
sow
Iealousies
between
you
and
me
:
and
I
do
promise
you
they
shall
not
prevail
with
me
;
and
I
do
promise
my self
they
shall
not
prevail
with
you
:
and
the
truth
is
,
we
are
both
concerned
they
should
not
;
and
we
shall
then
with
God's
blessing
prevent
all
the
mischief
they
intend
.
concerning
Romish
Priests
and
Jesuits
I
confess
(
my
Lords
and
Gentlemen
)
I
have
heard
of
one
Iealousie
,
which
I
will
never
forgive
the
Authors
of
,
that
I
had
a
Iealousie
of
your
affections
,
that
I
was
offended
with
the
Parliament
to
that
degree
,
that
I
intended
to
dissolve
it
.
They
say
,
men
are
naturally
most
angry
with
those
reproaches
which
reflect
upon
their
understanding
,
which
makes
them
thought
weak
men
:
truly
,
I
should
appear
a
very
weak
man
,
if
I
should
have
any
such
passion
,
any
such
purpose
:
No
,
my
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
I
will
not
part
with
you
upon
those
terms
;
never
King
was
so
much
beholding
to
a
Parliament
,
as
I
am
to
you
;
and
if
my
kindness
to
you
,
and
my
confidence
in
you
,
be
not
proportionable
,
I
am
behind-hand
with
you
,
which
,
God
willing
,
I
will
not
be
.
I
am
sorry
to
find
that
the
general
temper
and
affections
of
the
Nation
are
not
so
well
composed
,
as
I
hoped
they
would
have
been
,
after
so
signal
blessings
from
God
Almighty
upon
us
all
,
and
after
so
great
indulgence
and
condescentions
from
me
towards
all
Interests
.
There
are
many
wicked
Instruments
still
as
active
as
ever
,
who
labour
night
and
day
to
disturb
the
publick
peace
,
and
to
make
all
people
jealous
of
each
other
:
it
will
be
worthy
of
your
care
and
vigilance
to
provide
proper
remedies
for
the
diseases
of
that
kind
;
and
if
you
find
new
diseases
,
you
must
study
new
remedies
.
Let
us
not
be
discouraged
,
if
we
help
one
another
,
we
shall
with
God's
blessing
master
all
our
difficulties
.
I
shall
not
need
to
recommend
,
or
put
you
in
mind
of
the
good
correspondence
that
ought
to
be
kept
between
you
,
for
the
good
of
your selves
and
Me
,
and
the
whole
Kingdom
;
and
I
may
tell
you
,
it
is
very
necessary
for
us
all
.
You
will
find
,
whoever
doth
not
love
me
,
doth
not
love
you
;
and
they
who
have
no
Reverence
for
you
,
have
little
Kindness
for
me
:
therefore
,
I
pray
,

Majesty
,
My
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
I
did
desire
and
conjure
you
at
the
opening
of
this
Session
,
that
you
would
keep
a
very
good
correspondence
together
,
that
it
might
not
be
in
the
power
of
any
seditious
or
factious
Spirits
,
to
make
you
jealous
of
each
other
,
or
either
of
you
jealous
of
me
.
I
must
confess
to
you
,
you
have
Tuesd
.
May
complied
very
fully
with
me
,
for
which
I
can
never
thank
you
enough
;
You
have
performed
those
good
respects
towards
me
,
and
kept
so
very
good
correspondence
towards
each
other
,
that
you
have
exceedingly
disappointed
those
ill
men
,
who
both
at
home
and
abroad
had
raised
great
hopes
and
expectation
of
ne●
troubles
and
confusions
:
This
harmony
will
(
with
God's
blessing
)
make
us
all
esteem'd
abroad
,
and
secure
at
home
.
One
thing
I
must
earnestly
recommend
to
the
prudence
of
hath
Houses
,
that
you
will
not
suffer
any
occasion
of
difference
between
your selves
to
be
revived
;
since
nothing
but
the
unity
of
your
Minds
and
Counsels
,
can
make
this
meeting
happy
either
to
Me
,
or
to
the
Nation
.
upon
the
Adjournment
of
the
Parliament
,
My
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
I
need
not
tell
you
,
how
unwillingly
I
call
you
hither
at
this
time
,
being
enough
sensible
what
advantages
my
Enemies
both
abroad
and
at
home
will
reap
by
the
least
appearance
of
a
difference
;
nay
,
being
assured
,
they
expect
more
success
from
such
a
breach
,
(
could
they
procure
it
)
than
from
their
Arms.
This
,
I
say
,
shall
(
whilst
I
live
)
be
my
chief
endeavour
to
prevent
,
and
for
that
reason
I
think
it
necessary
to
make
a
short
Recess
,
that
all
good
men
may
recollect
themselves
against
the
next
meeting
.
When
I
parted
with
you
last
,
it
was
but
for
a
little
time
,
and
with
a
resolution
of
meeting
suddenly
again
.
That
alone
was
enough
to
satisfie
my
Friends
that
they
need
not
fear
,
and
my
Enemies
that
they
could
not
hope
for
a
Breach
between
us
.
I
then
told
you
that
the
time
of
this
short
Recess
should
be
employed
in
doing
such
things
as
might
add
to
your
satisfaction
.
I
hope
I
have
done
my
part
towards
it
,
and
I
do
now
expect
you
should
do
your
parts
too
:
for
our
Enemies
chief
hopes
are
to
dis-unite
us
at
home
;
't
is
their
common
discourse
,
and
they
reckon
upon
it
as
their
best
relief
.
It
is
not
possible
for
me
to
doubt
your
Affections
at
any
time
,
much
less
at
such
a
time
as
this
,
when
the
evidences
of
your
Affections
are
become
so
necessary
to
us
all
.
King
hath
spoken
so
fully
,
so
excellently
well
,
and
so
like
himself
,
that
Lord
Chanc.
Sp.
there
is
not
a
word
in
his
Speech
that
hath
not
its
full
weight
.
The
principal
end
of
my
calling
you
now
,
is
to
give
my self
the
satisfaction
of
having
used
the
utmost
of
my
endeavours
to
procure
and
settle
a
right
and
lasting
understanding
between
us
:
for
I
must
tell
you
,
I
find
the
contrary
so
much
laboured
,
and
that
the
pernicious
designs
of
ill
men
have
taken
so
much
place
under
Specious
pretences
,
that
it
is
high
time
to
be
watchful
in
preventing
their
contrivances
,
of
which
it
is
not
the
least
,
that
they
would
by
all
the
means
they
can
devise
,
make
it
unpracticable
any
longer
to
continue
this
present
Parliament
:
for
that
reason
,
I
confess
,
I
cannot
think
such
have
any
good
meaning
to
Me
;
and
therefore
when
I
consider
how
much
the
greatest
part
of
this
Parliament
has
either
themselves
,
or
Fathers
,
given
me
testimony
of
their
affections
and
loyaltie
,
I
should
be
extreme
loth
to
oblige
those
Enemies
,
by
parting
with
such
Friends
;
and
they
may
be
assured
,
that
none
shall
be
able
to
recommend
themselves
to
me
by
any
other
way
than
their
good
Services
.
because
the
Season
of
the
year
would
not
permit
any
long
Session
,
and
he
did
intend
to
meet
them
again
in
Winter
,
in
the
mean
time
,
I
earnestly
recommend
to
you
all
,
such
a
temper
and
moderation
in
your
proceedings
,
as
may
tend
to
unite
us
all
in
Counsel
and
Affections
,
and
disappoint
the
expectations
of
those
,
who
can
hope
only
by
violent
and
irregular
Motions
,
to
prevent
the
bringing
of
this
Session
to
an
happy
conclusion
.

The
ill
designs
of
our
Enemies
have
been
too
prevalent
against
those
good
ones
I
had
proposed
to
my self
,
in
behalf
of
my
people
:
and
those
unhappy
differences
between
my
two
Houses
are
grown
to
such
an
height
,
that
I
find
no
possible
means
to
put
an
end
to
them
,
but
by
a
Prorogation
.
It
is
with
great
unwillingness
that
I
make
use
of
this
Expedient
,
having
always
intended
an
Adjournment
for
the
preserving
of
such
Bills
as
were
unfinished
:
but
my
hopes
are
,
that
,
by
this
means
,
the
present
occasion
of
differences
being
taken
away
,
you
will
be
so
careful
hereafter
of
the
publick
,
as
not
to
seek
new
ones
,
nor
to
revive
the
old
.
I
meet
you
now
with
a
more
than
usual
concern
for
the
Event
of
this
Session
,
and
I
know
it
is
but
what
may
reasonably
be
expected
from
that
care
I
owe
to
the
prefervation
of
the
Government
.
The
causes
of
the
last
Prorogation
,
as
I
for
my
part
do
not
desire
to
remember
,
so
I
hope
no
man
else
will
,
unless
it
be
to
learn
from
thence
,
how
to
avoid
the
like
occasions
for
the
future
;
and
I
pray
consider
how
fatal
the
consequences
may
be
,
and
how
little
benefit
is
like
to
redound
to
the
people
by
it
:
However
,
if
any
thing
of
that
kind
shall
arise
,
I
desire
you
would
defer
those
debates
,
till
you
have
brought
such
publick
Bills
to
perfection
,
as
may
conduce
to
the
good
and
safety
of
the
Kingdom
.
Lord
Keepers
Speech
to
the
same
,
I
have
called
you
together
again
after
a
long
Prorogation
,
that
you
might
have
an
opportunity
to
repair
the
misfortunes
of
the
last
Session
,
and
to
recover
and
restore
the
right
use
and
end
of
Parliaments
.
The
time
I
have
given
you
to
recollect
your selves
in
,
and
to
consider
whither
those
differences
tend
,
which
have
been
so
unhappily
managed
and
improved
between
you
,
is
enough
to
leave
you
without
all
excuse
,
if
ever
you
fall
into
the
like
again
.
I
am
now
resolved
to
let
the
World
see
,
that
it
shall
not
be
my
fault
if
the
people
be
not
made
happy
by
your
consultations
in
Parliament
.
To
conclude
,
I
do
recommend
to
you
the
peace
of
the
Kingdom
,
in
the
careful
prevention
of
all
differences
;
the
safety
of
the
Kingdom
,
in
providing
for
some
greater
strength
at
Sea
;
and
the
prosperity
of
the
Kingdom
,
in
assisting
the
necessary
charge
and
support
of
the
Government
.
And
if
any
of
these
good
ends
should
happen
to
be
disappointed
,
I
call
God
and
Men
to
witness
this
day
,
that
the
misfortune
of
that
disappointment
shall
not
lie
at
my
door
.
Lord

Lord

Sp.
King
,
I
assure
you
,
whatsoever
some
ill
men
would
have
believed
,
I
never
had
any
intentions
but
of
good
to
you
,
and
to
my
people
,
nor
ever
shall
,
but
will
do
all
that
I
can
for
your
safety
and
ease
,
as
far
as
you
your selves
will
suffer
me
.
And
since
these
are
my
resolutions
,
I
desire
you
will
not
drive
me
into
extremities
,
which
must
end
ill
both
for
you
and
me
,
and
(
which
is
worst
of
all
)
for
the
Nation
,
which
we
ought
all
to
have
equal
care
of
:
therefore
I
desire
we
may
prevent
any
disorders
,
or
mischief
that
may
befall
them
by
our
disagreement
;
and
in
case
they
do
,
I
shall
leave
it
to
God
Almighty
to
judge
between
us
,
who
is
the
occasion
of
it
.
To
let
you
know
,
that
I
will
never
more
suffer
the
course
and
method
of
passing
Laws
to
be
changed
;
and
that
if
several
matters
shall
ever
again
be
tacked
together
in
one
Bill
,
that
Bill
shall
certainly
be
lost
,
let
the
importance
of
it
be
never
so
great

THE
Title-page
having
(
it
seems
)
promised
you
the
material
substance
of
the
several
Speeches
in
Parliament
,
upon
the
aforesaid
Heads
,
inclusively
till
the
end
of
the
last
,
in

I
found
my self
in
Duty
bound
to
add
these
that
follow
,
by
way
of
to
make
good
the
Promise
;
because
the
Title
Sheet
was
all
wrought
off
before
ever
I
had
a
view
of
it
:
And
so
I
hope
my
Generous
Readers
will
accept
of
this
as
a
reasonable
Excuse
in
my
favour
.
our
Divisions
at
home
render
our
Friendship
less
considerable
abroad
,
To
prevent
these
as
much
as
may
be
,
I
think
fit
to
renew
His
Majesties
Speech
to
his
two
Houses
,
to
you
all
the
Assurances
which
can
be
desired
,
that
nothing
shall
be
wanting
on
my
part
to
give
you
the
fullest
satisfaction
your
hearts
can
wish
,
for
the
Security
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
which
I
am
fully
resolved
to
maintain
against
all
the
Conspiracies
of
our
Enemies
;
and
to
concur
with
you
in
any
new
Remedies
which
shall
be
proposed
,
that
may
consist
with
preserving
the
Succession
of
the
Crown
in
its
due
and
legal
course
of
Descent
.
in
Order
to
this
,
I
do
recommend
it
to
you
,
to
pursue
the
further
Examination
of
the
with
a
strict
and
an
Impartial
Enquiry
.
I
do
not
think
my self
safe
,
nor
You
neither
,
till
that
matter
he
gone
through
with
:
and
therefore
it
will
be
Necessary
that
the
Lords
in
the
Tower
be
brought
to
their
speedy
Trial
,
that
Iustice
may
be
done

to

in

might

its
due
and
legal

:
I
do
again
,
with
the
same
Reservations
,
renew
the
same
Promises
to
you
.
which
I
value
above
all
King's
Speech
to
both
Houses
the
Treasure
in
the
World
,
and
which
I
am
sure
will
give
me
greater
Strength
and
Reputation
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
than
any
Treasure
can
do
,
is
a
perfect
union
amongst
our selves
.
but
this
can
restore
the
Kingdom
to
that
strength
and
vigour
which
it
seems
to
have
lost
,
and
raise
us
again
to
that
Consideration
which
hath
usually
had
have
their
Eyes
upon
this
Assembly
,
and
think
their
own
happiness
or
misery
,
as
well
as
ours
,
will
depend
upon
it
.
we
should
be
so
unhappy
as
to
fall
into
such
misunderstanding
amongst
our selves
,
as
would
render
our
friendship
unsafe
to
trust
to
,
it
will
not
be
to
be
wondered
at
,
if
our
Neighbours
should
begin
to
take
new
Resolutions
,
and
perhaps
such
as
may
be
fatal
to
us
.
us
therefore
take
care
that
we
do
not
gratify
our
Enemies
,
and
discourage
our
friends
by
any
unseasonable
disputes
.
any
such
doe
happen
,
The
world
will
see
it
was
no
fault
of
mine
;
for
I
have
done
all
that
was
possible
for
me
to
doe
,
to
keep
you
in
peace
while
I
live
,
and
to
leave
you
so
when
I
die
.
from
so
great
Prudence
,
and
so
good
Affections
as
yours
,
I
can
fear
Nothing
of
this

;
but
doe
rely
upon
you

,
that
you
will

Endeavours
