THE
EARLE
OF
BRISTOLS
SPEECH
At
a
Conference
with
both
Houses
.
GEntlemen
,
and
you
the
Knights
,
Citizens
,
and
Burgesses
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
I
am
commanded
by
the
Lords
to
let
you
know
that
they
have
taken
serious
deliberation
of
the
propositions
made
by
you
the
other
day
in
a
conference
concerning
the
extremity
in
which
the
kingdome
was
for
want
of
money
to
give
satisfaction
to
both
armies
:
I
am
commanded
to
let
you
know
their
Lordships
pleasure
in
this
or
in
any
thing
else
that
may
conduce
for
the
service
of
the
King
,
and
good
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
will
be
very
ready
to
give
such
assistance
as
you
shall
propound
,
or
upon
debate
with
them
thinke
fit
to
advance
the
worke
.
You
were
pleased
to
declare
the
great
industry
used
for
raising
of
moneyes
:
and
truly
we
conceive
it
can
scarce
be
paralleled
in
any
time
,
where
the
House
of
Commons
have
shewed
so
great
affections
to
the
good
of
the
Kingdome
,
as
in
their
owne
particulars
to
bee
so
ingaged
as
they
have
beene
.
But
they
now
perceive
,
though
as
good
security
as
can
be
,
and
they
conceive
the
cause
of
this
hindrance
,
must
be
some
apprehension
of
danger
,
for
which
the
Kingdome
hath
,
and
particularly
the
City
of
London
,
the
feare
of
unquiet
and
dangerous
times
,
and
so
loath
to
part
with
money
,
for
we
cannot
conceive
but
there
is
mony
in
the
kingdome
,
and
in
the
City
.
This
feare
is
that
which
maketh
them
all
keepe
the
wealth
they
have
to
serve
their
turnes
in
extremity
of
danger
,
and
therfore
think
fit
that
since
there
is
great
use
of
money
,
to
open
the
credit
of
the
Kingdome
;
for
the
granting
of
Subsidies
must
get
credit
,
and
peace
and
tranquility
will
incourage
the
lending
of
money
;
and
therefore
the
Lords
have
commanded
the
Lord
Commissioners
with
all
speed
to
bring
unto
you
the
bottome
of
the
Treaty
with
the
Scots
,
that
the
Kingdome
may
see
in
what
state
they
are
.
And
then
no
doubt
for
these
great
summes
the
Lords
will
likewise
concurre
in
that
and
all
things
else
that
may
conduce
to
the
happinesse
of
the
State
.
And
therefore
because
wayes
of
money
are
more
proper
to
proceed
from
you
then
from
us
,
if
you
shall
thinke
fit
that
any
way
may
be
propounded
by
you
may
be
effectuall
,
or
if
you
propound
not
,
their
Lordships
will
let
you
know
some
of
their
propositions
.
If
you
bee
not
now
prepared
to
conferre
about
it
,
we
shall
when
you
please
,
debate
the
same
.
