Master
GLYNS
Reply
to
the
Earle
of
STRAFFORDS
Defence
.
My
Lord
of
Strafford
having
concluded
the
recapitulation
of
his
evidence
,
Mr.
Glyn
applied
himselfe
to
their
Lordships
in
manner
following
.
MAy
it
please
your
Lordships
,
my
Lord
of
Strafford
(
as
your
Lordships
have
observed
,
)
hath
spent
a
great
deale
of
time
in
his
evidence
,
and
in
his
course
of
answering
hath
inverted
the
order
of
the
Articles
;
He
hath
spent
some
time
,
likewise
,
in
defending
the
Articles
not
objected
against
him
,
wherein
he
hath
made
a
good
answer
,
if
in
any
:
wee
shall
presume
to
withdraw
a
while
,
and
rest
upon
your
Lordships
patience
;
and
I
doubt
not
but
to
represent
my
Lord
of
Strafford
as
cunning
in
his
answer
,
as
hee
is
subtill
in
his
practice
.
The
Committee
withdrawing
for
about
the
space
of
halfe
an
houre
,
and
then
returning
to
the
Barre
,
Mr.
Glyn
proceeded
as
followeth
.
My
Lords
,
your
Lordships
have
observed
how
the
Earle
of
Strafford
hath
been
accused
by
the
Commons
of
England
of
high
Treason
,
for
a
purpose
and
designe
to
subvert
the
fundamentall
Lawes
of
both
the
kingdomes
,
of
England
and
Ireland
,
and
to
introduce
an
Arbitrary
,
and
Tyrannicall
government
:
The
Commons
have
exhibited
Articles
in
maintenance
of
that
charge
:
My
Lord
of
Strafford
hath
thereunto
answered
in
writing
.
The
Commons
have
proceeded
to
make
good
their
charge
by
proofe
,
and
thereunto
my
Lord
of
Strafford
hath
made
his
defence
;
and
this
day
my
Lord
of
Strafford
hath
taken
upon
him
to
recollect
his
evidence
,
and
make
his
observation
upon
it
,
the
most
he
could
to
his
advantage
.
My
Lords
,
wee
that
are
intrusted
for
the
house
of
Commons
,
stand
here
to
recollect
the
evidence
on
our
part
,
and
to
apply
it
to
the
generall
charge
,
and
how
farre
it
conduces
thereunto
.
My
Lord
of
Strafford
in
recollecting
the
evidence
of
his
defence
,
as
I
did
mention
before
,
hath
(
under
favour
)
exprest
very
much
subtilty
,
and
that
in
divers
particulars
,
which
I
shall
represent
to
your
Lordships
.
My
Lords
,
before
I
enter
upon
the
recollection
of
the
proofes
produced
on
the
behalf
of
the
Commons
,
I
shall
make
some
observations
,
and
give
some
answer
to
that
recollection
of
his
;
though
very
disorderly
to
the
method
I
propounded
to
my selfe
.
And
first
,
in
generall
,
it
will
appeare
to
your
Lordships
,
(
looking
upon
your
notes
,
and
observing
his
recollection
)
that
he
hath
used
the
repetition
of
evidence
on
both
sides
,
in
such
manner
as
you
know
who
useth
Scripture
;
that
is
,
to
cite
as
much
as
makes
for
his
purpose
,
&
leave
out
the
rest
.
And
likewise
,
that
in
repetition
of
the
evidence
,
he
hat●
mis-recited
,
plainly
,
very
much
of
the
proofs
on
both
sides
,
&
likewise
hath
pretended
some
proofes
to
be
for
his
defence
,
which
indeed
were
not
:
and
hee
hath
taken
this
farther
advantage
;
when
it
makes
for
his
defence
,
he
hath
disjoynted
the
proofes
,
and
testimonies
,
and
severed
them
asunder
,
that
it
might
appeare
to
your
Lordships
,
like
raine
falling
in
drops
,
which
considered
in
distinct
drops
bring
no
horrour
,
or
seeming
inconvenience
with
them
;
but
when
they
are
gathered
together
into
an
entire
body
,
they
make
an
Inundation
,
and
cover
the
face
of
the
earth
.
He
would
not
have
your
Lordships
look
on
those
Testimonies
together
,
but
distinctly
,
and
asunder
,
wch
being
put
together
look
horrid
,
as
will
appeare
to
your
Lo.
when
you
duly
consider
of
them
.
These
bee
the
generall
observations
,
which
in
my
Answer
I
doubt
not
but
to
make
good
:
But
before
I
shall
enter
into
observations
of
what
hee
hath
spoken
,
I
shall
answer
in
generall
to
some
things
which
hee
hath
in
generall
alledged
.
In
the
first
place
,
hee
hath
made
a
flourish
this
day
,
and
severall
other
dayes
in
the
way
of
his
defence
,
That
if
hee
could
have
had
longer
time
,
hee
could
have
made
things
appeare
clearer
,
and
have
produced
more
proofes
.
Give
mee
leave
to
informe
your
Lordships
that
he
is
no
way
straightned
of
time
,
for
he
hath
bin
charged
above
three
months
since
▪
he
knew
what
was
laid
to
his
charge
,
and
therefore
his
pretence
of
want
of
time
,
and
of
his
disabilities
to
make
better
proofes
,
are
but
flourishes
.
And
it
appears
plainly
,
whatsoever
he
hath
had
occasion
to
make
use
of
,
even
the
least
paper
,
though
hee
fetched
it
from
Ireland
,
there
is
not
one
wanting
;
he
hath
copies
of
papers
from
the
Councell
Table
,
from
the
Parliament
of
Ireland
,
and
all
that
may
any
way
tend
to
his
justification
,
and
yet
he
stands
upon
that
flourish
,
that
if
he
had
had
time
he
could
have
made
it
more
cleare
.
My
Lords
,
he
hath
mentioned
often
this
day
,
and
oftner
the
dayes
before
,
that
many
of
the
Articles
laid
to
his
charge
are
proved
but
by
one
witnesse
;
and
thereupon
he
takes
the
advantage
of
the
Statute
of
E.
6.
that
sayes
,
A
man
ought
not
to
be
condemned
for
high
Treason
without
two
witnesses
.
My
Lords
,
this
is
a
fallacy
knowne
to
his
own
breast
,
I
doubt
not
,
and
not
taught
him
by
any
of
his
Councell
,
or
others
learned
.
The
Treason
laid
to
his
charge
,
is
,
the
subverting
of
the
Lawes
;
the
evidence
is
,
the
Articles
proved
:
and
though
some
one
Article
appeares
to
be
proved
but
by
one
,
yet
put
the
evidence
together
,
you
shall
never
find
it
to
bee
within
the
words
or
meaning
of
the
Statute
;
for
the
charge
is
proved
by
a
hundred
witnesses
:
and
because
one
part
of
the
evidence
is
proved
onely
by
one
witnesse
,
since
,
when
you
put
them
together
,
you
will
find
a
hundred
witnesses
,
it
is
not
within
the
words
nor
meaning
of
the
Statute
,
neither
will
his
Councell
direct
him
to
say
so
,
I
am
confident
.
My
Lords
,
another
observation
I
shall
be
bold
to
make
,
is
,
that
hee
was
pleased
to
cast
an
aspersion
(
as
we
must
apprehend
)
upon
them
that
be
trusted
by
the
house
of
Commons
this
day
,
That
we
that
stand
here
,
alledged
and
affirmed
things
to
be
proved
,
that
are
not
proved
:
Hee
might
have
pleased
to
have
spared
that
language
;
we
stand
here
to
justifie
our selves
,
that
we
doe
not
use
to
expresse
any
language
,
but
what
our
hearts
and
consciences
tels
us
is
true
;
and
howsoever
he
is
pleased
to
cast
it
upon
us
,
I
am
confident
I
shall
invert
it
upon
himselfe
,
and
make
it
appeare
,
that
hee
hath
bin
this
day
guilty
,
in
the
highest
degree
,
of
what
he
most
unjustly
layeth
to
our
charge
.
And
now
my
Lords
to
enter
upon
the
particulars
,
hee
hath
beene
pleased
to
make
it
his
generall
Theame
to
day
(
though
hee
hath
not
spoke
much
to
day
but
what
he
hath
spoken
formerly
)
that
these
particulars
considered
by
themselves
make
not
a
Treason
,
and
therefore
put
together
he
wonders
how
they
should
make
a
Treason
:
Several
misdemeanours
can
never
make
a
murther
,
and
severall
murders
can
never
make
a
Treason
;
and
he
wonders
it
should
be
otherwise
in
this
case
.
My
Lords
he
did
instance
it
(
if
my
memory
failes
me
not
)
in
a
case
of
Felony
;
That
if
a
bloudy
knife
should
bee
produced
in
the
hand
of
the
party
suspected
to
have
slaine
the
man
,
if
the
party
had
bin
there
seen
before
the
death
,
it
were
a
strong
evidence
;
but
there
must
bee
death
in
the
case
,
the
fact
must
be
committed
,
else
there
can
be
no
murther
:
but
he
himselfe
might
answer
himselfe
,
for
there
is
a
great
difference
:
There
cannot
be
murther
but
there
must
be
death
,
but
hee
knowes
very
well
there
may
be
Treason
and
yet
no
death
;
it
is
too
late
to
forbeare
questioning
Treason
for
killing
the
King
,
till
the
King
be
killed
:
God
forbid
wee
should
stay
in
that
case
,
for
the
very
intention
is
the
Treason
,
and
it
is
the
intention
of
the
death
of
the
Law
that
is
in
question
,
and
it
had
beene
too
late
to
call
him
to
question
to
answer
with
his
life
for
the
death
of
the
Law
,
if
the
Law
had
been
killed
,
for
there
had
been
no
Law
then
;
and
how
should
the
Law
then
have
adjudged
it
Treason
,
when
the
same
were
subverted
and
destroyed
?
and
therefore
he
is
much
mistaken
.
The
greatest
Traytor
,
in
the
memory
of
any
that
sits
here
to
heare
me
this
day
,
had
a
better
,
a
fairer
excuse
in
this
particular
then
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
and
that
is
Guido
Faux
;
for
hee
might
have
objected
,
that
the
taking
of
the
Cellar
,
the
laying
of
the
Powder
under
the
Parliament
House
,
the
kindling
of
the
match
,
and
putting
it
neare
,
are
not
so
much
as
a
misdemeanor
,
if
you
look
no
further
;
for
it
was
no
offence
in
him
to
lay
Barrels
under
the
Parliament
House
,
and
to
kindle
the
match
,
and
to
lay
it
neere
;
but
collect
all
together
,
that
it
was
eâ
intentione
to
blow
up
the
King
and
the
State
,
there
is
the
Treason
:
but
God
be
blessed
it
was
not
effected
;
So
that
the
rule
is
the
same
.
Nay
,
my
Lord
of
Strafford
hath
not
so
much
to
say
,
when
he
is
charged
with
a
purpose
and
intention
to
subvert
the
Law
;
for
to
that
purpose
gave
he
trayterous
counsels
,
and
executed
actions
,
thereby
discovering
his
intentions
to
destroy
the
Kingdome
,
and
to
destroy
the
Kings
claime
by
Law
,
and
discent
.
It
is
true
,
they
were
not
put
in
execution
,
but
they
declared
his
intentions
;
therefore
this
gives
an
answer
to
his
first
flourish
,
which
is
not
so
great
an
Argument
as
the
greatest
Traytor
might
use
for
himself
,
and
yet
it
proved
Treason
in
him
.
My
Lords
,
he
hath
been
pleased
to
divide
his
Treasons
into
two
parts
,
and
his
division
I
allow
of
;
that
is
,
Treason
by
Statute-Law
,
as
he
tearmes
it
,
though
it
be
Treason
by
the
Common-Law
;
and
constructive
Treason
:
And
upon
that
method
hee
hath
recited
the
evidence
produced
on
either
part
;
Give
mee
leave
to
follow
and
trace
him
a
little
,
and
afterwards
to
discharge
my
duty
in
taking
my
owne
course
,
and
representing
the
evidence
as
it
appeares
,
truly
;
and
I
will
avoid
(
as
much
as
I
can
)
to
fall
into
my
Lord
of
Straffords
errour
,
in
mis-reciting
a
Particle
;
if
I
doe
,
it
shall
be
against
my
will
.
He
begins
with
the
fifteenth
Article
,
and
pretends
that
that
is
not
proved
;
the
ground
and
foundation
of
that
Article
was
a
warrant
issued
out
by
himselfe
to
a
Sergeant
at
Armes
,
one
Savill
,
which
gave
directions
and
power
to
that
Serjeant
to
lay
souldiers
on
any
person
that
should
contemne
the
Processe
of
the
Councell
▪
boord
in
Ireland
;
that
was
the
effect
:
Now
(
sayes
he
)
this
warrant
is
not
produced
,
and
addes
,
that
the
Judges
will
tell
your
Lordships
,
that
if
a
man
bee
charged
with
any
thing
under
hand
and
seale
,
the
deed
must
be
produced
and
proved
,
or
else
no
credit
is
to
bee
given
to
it
.
Truely
,
my
Lords
,
it
is
true
,
if
it
had
beene
a
Bond
,
or
a
Deed
,
where
those
that
seale
it
use
to
call
their
neighbours
to
testifie
,
and
be
witnesses
to
it
,
perhaps
it
might
be
a
colourable
answer
,
that
because
we
do
not
produce
the
Deed
,
and
prove
it
by
witnesses
,
you
can
therefore
give
no
credit
to
it
:
But
,
my
Lords
,
in
case
of
authority
to
commit
high
treason
,
I
suppose
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
nor
any
other
did
call
witnesses
to
prove
the
signing
,
sealing
and
delivering
of
the
warrant
for
execution
of
high
treason
;
and
therefore
it
is
a
new
way
and
invention
found
out
by
his
Lordship
,
for
ought
I
see
,
to
commit
high
treason
,
and
to
give
authority
for
it
;
and
it
is
but
taking
away
the
originall
warrant
,
and
hee
shall
never
be
touched
for
any
treason
.
But
I
beseech
your
Lordships
patience
,
till
I
come
to
open
that
Article
,
and
your
Lordships
will
finde
the
warrant
,
(
though
it
be
not
produced
,
)
proved
by
three
or
foure
witnesses
,
and
his
hand
&
seale
proved
too
.
And
wheras
he
pretends
the
Sergeant
at
Armes
is
no
competent
witnesse
,
because
he
excuses
himselfe
;
my
Lord
mistakes
himselfe
,
for
I
take
it
to
bee
no
excuse
to
prove
a
warrant
from
any
person
whatsoever
,
if
it
be
to
commit
high
treason
:
and
therefore
Savills
testimony
is
the
more
strong
,
being
so
farre
from
excusing
,
that
hee
doth
accuse
himselfe
:
And
though
he
is
charged
with
laying
of
souldiers
upon
the
Kings
people
,
contrary
to
an
expresse
▪
Act
of
Parliament
made
in
18.
H.
6.
yet
my
Lord
is
pleased
(
I
know
not
how
to
terme
it
,
whether
it
be
merrily
,
or
otherwise
)
to
use
his
Rhetorick
,
Here
is
a
great
levying
of
war
,
when
there
is
not
above
foure
Musketiers
,
or
six
at
most
,
laid
upon
any
one
man
.
My
Lords
,
it
is
a
plain
levying
of
warre
,
and
without
all
question
,
and
in
all
sense
,
it
is
as
much
mischievous
to
me
to
be
surprized
by
foure
or
six
Musketiers
,
to
enforce
me
to
any
thing
they
would
have
,
as
if
there
were
an
Army
of
forty
thousand
brought
upon
me
;
for
if
that
strength
will
but
over
master
me
,
it
is
all
one
to
me
whether
I
be
mastered
by
foure
,
or
by
foure
thousand
.
And
therefore
let
not
this
be
a
rule
,
that
to
send
foure
,
or
six
,
or
ten
Musketiers
up
and
downe
is
not
considerable
,
because
of
the
smalnesse
of
the
number
(
the
danger
is
the
same
;
)
yet
this
is
no
levying
of
warre
,
because
they
goe
not
in
troops
of
greater
number
,
as
it
pleases
my
Lord
of
Strafford
to
affirm
.
My
Lords
,
your
Lordships
remember
what
the
effect
of
the
Warrant
is
sworn
to
be
,
that
howsoever
the
Sergeant
at
Armes
,
and
his
Ministers
that
executed
it
,
brought
but
foure
,
or
six
,
or
ten
,
yet
the
Sergeant
might
have
brought
all
the
Army
of
Ireland
,
for
there
was
authority
so
to
doe
.
And
admitting
the
matter
of
fact
proved
,
he
mentions
an
Act
of
Parliament
made
11.
Eliz.
whereby
a
penalty
is
laid
upon
men
that
shall
lay
souldiers
on
the
Kings
subjects
,
and
yet
(
as
my
Lord
observes
)
it
must
now
be
Treason
in
the
Deputy
.
My
Lords
,
the
very
casting
of
an
eye
upon
that
Act
,
shewes
it
to
be
as
vainly
objected
,
as
if
he
had
said
nothing
;
for
in
truth
it
is
no
other
than
as
if
he
should
say
,
The
King
hath
given
me
the
command
of
an
Army
in
Ireland
,
and
therefore
I
may
turne
them
upon
the
bowels
of
the
Kings
subjects
:
It
is
no
more
in
effect
.
Your
Lordships
have
heard
him
the
other
day
mentioning
two
Acts
of
Repeale
,
and
I
expected
he
would
have
insisted
upon
them
;
but
it
seemes
he
hath
beene
better
advised
,
and
thinks
them
not
worthy
repetition
,
nor
indeed
are
they
.
And
if
the
matter
of
fact
be
proved
upon
the
fifteenth
Article
,
I
am
confident
he
will
find
the
Statute
of
18.
H.
6.
to
be
of
full
force
.
My
Lords
,
I
am
very
sorry
to
heare
,
that
when
levying
of
warre
upon
the
Kings
subjects
is
in
agitation
,
and
he
charged
with
high
Treason
,
he
should
make
mention
of
the
Yorkshire
men
,
and
the
army
now
on
foot
,
whereby
he
would
insinuate
,
that
if
he
be
charged
with
high
Treason
,
then
they
must
be
likewise
,
though
they
lye
quartered
,
and
have
meat
and
drink
with
the
assent
of
the
people
;
which
may
breed
ill
bloud
for
ought
I
know
.
From
the
fifteenth
Article
he
descends
to
the
three
and
twentieth
,
and
that
is
the
Article
whereby
he
stands
charged
with
speaking
of
words
,
and
giving
of
councell
to
his
Majestie
to
incense
him
against
his
Parliament
,
pretending
a
necessity
,
and
telling
him
he
is
loose
and
absolved
from
all
rules
of
government
;
that
he
had
an
Army
in
Ireland
which
he
might
make
use
of
to
reduce
this
kingdome
.
In
this
he
is
pleased
to
begin
with
the
testimony
of
my
Lord
Ranelagh
,
conceiving
an
apprehension
and
feare
in
him
,
that
the
Army
should
goe
over
to
England
,
which
my
Lord
sayes
,
is
no
more
but
his
saying
,
and
master
Treasurer
Vane's
.
I
pray
God
my
Lord
Ranelagh
had
not
much
cause
to
feare
;
but
by
the
same
rule
he
may
lay
a
charge
of
unwarrantable
feare
upon
all
the
Commons
;
for
sure
the
Commons
of
England
did
feare
it
,
else
they
would
not
make
an
Article
of
it
:
But
my
Lord
Ranelagh's
feare
did
not
arise
from
a
slight
cause
,
and
he
shewed
himselfe
a
good
Common-wealths
man
in
expressing
it
,
and
he
is
to
be
commended
for
it
,
howsoever
it
be
apprehended
by
my
Lord
of
Strafford
.
For
his
observation
of
the
single
testimony
of
Mr.
Treasurer
Vane
,
give
me
leave
to
take
the
same
latitude
as
his
Lordship
did
;
for
he
shewes
to
three
or
foure
Articles
what
he
could
have
proved
;
as
to
the
Article
concerning
the
Army
,
he
could
have
proved
the
designe
of
it
by
Sir
John
Burlacy
,
and
some
others
,
if
they
had
beene
here
.
But
by
this
rule
and
liberty
hee
hath
taken
to
alledge
what
he
could
have
showne
,
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
what
we
might
have
showne
,
and
are
ready
to
shew
:
We
could
have
made
it
expresse
,
and
proved
it
by
notes
taken
by
Secretary
Vane
the
fifth
of
May
,
when
the
words
were
spoken
,
which
notes
should
have
beene
proved
,
if
we
had
proceeded
on
the
three
and
twentieth
Article
,
to
corroborate
the
testimony
of
Mr.
Secretary
Vane
,
and
that
by
two
witnesses
.
Wee
could
likewise
have
showne
how
we
came
to
the
knowledge
of
it
,
it
being
by
means
unknowne
to
master
Secretary
Vane
,
and
have
made
him
an
upright
Councellour
and
witnesse
:
but
we
shall
prove
his
intentions
to
bring
in
the
Irish
Army
another
way
,
when
I
come
to
open
my
owne
course
and
method
.
My
Lords
,
hee
pretends
these
words
were
spoken
the
fift
of
May
,
but
when
they
were
testified
by
master
Treasurer
,
he
did
not
speak
of
the
fifth
of
May
,
and
yet
now
my
Lord
remembers
the
day
;
and
I
wonder
how
hee
came
to
the
knowledge
of
the
day
,
unlesse
he
likewise
remembred
the
words
.
But
that
my
Lord
observes
,
is
,
That
being
spoken
then
,
how
should
he
perswade
the
King
,
that
he
had
an
Army
in
Ireland
,
when
in
truth
he
had
none
there
?
for
the
Army
was
not
on
foot
till
a
moneth
after
.
This
,
my
Lords
,
is
plainly
answered
;
and
if
he
had
thought
of
his
owne
answer
,
he
had
answered
himselfe
:
for
he
tels
you
,
that
in
April
before
,
he
had
taken
a
course
for
the
levying
of
the
Army
,
he
had
nominated
the
officers
,
giving
direction
for
raising
it
:
And
,
the
day
of
the
Rendezvous
of
the
Army
was
appointed
the
18.
of
May
.
And
so
in
his
owne
answer
he
makes
an
answer
to
the
objection
,
and
the
objection
is
taken
away
out
of
his
own
confession
.
From
that
Article
he
falls
to
the
seven
and
twentieth
Article
,
whereby
he
stands
charged
with
levying
money
by
force
upon
the
Kings
people
in
Yorkshire
:
he
is
pleased
to
observe
,
that
all
the
proofes
for
the
maintenance
of
that
Article
,
is
onely
the
levying
of
money
with
foure
souldiers
by
Sergeant
Major
Yaworth
.
Where
he
is
pleased
to
disdaine
the
war
,
because
it
was
so
weak
,
yet
it
was
too
strong
for
them
(
God
help
them
)
that
were
forced
upon
pain
of
life
to
pay
it
.
And
whereas
he
pretends
the
warrrant
was
not
from
him
,
I
shall
reserve
that
till
I
come
to
the
Article
,
and
when
I
come
to
the
proofes
,
I
beleeve
it
will
remain
fixed
upon
him
.
And
there
he
left
his
Statute
Treason
,
and
now
he
fals
to
the
second
kind
of
Treason
,
and
that
was
the
introductive
or
constructive
Treason
:
He
begins
with
the
third
Article
,
that
is
,
concerning
some
words
that
he
should
be
charged
to
have
spoken
in
Ireland
;
&
I
shal
desire
that
your
Lordships
would
be
pleased
to
look
upon
your
notes
,
how
he
answers
that
Article
;
My
Lords
,
sayes
he
,
I
am
charged
to
say
that
Ireland
was
a
conquered
Nation
,
and
that
their
Charters
were
nothing
worth
,
and
bind
the
King
no
further
then
he
pleaseth
;
therefore
I
am
a
Traitor
because
I
speak
the
truth
.
There
was
his
answer
in
his
collection
.
And
for
their
Charters
he
sayes
,
he
might
might
very
well
say
so
,
for
he
intended
it
no
otherwise
,
but
according
to
the
validity
of
them
,
for
they
were
severall
wayes
questionable
,
and
ought
not
to
bind
,
unlesse
they
were
good
in
law
.
But
if
you
look
upon
his
Arguments
,
he
hath
,
like
a
cunning
Oratour
,
omitted
the
principall
part
of
the
Article
;
and
that
is
,
that
Ireland
is
a
conquered
Nation
,
and
they
were
to
be
governed
as
the
King
pleaseth
,
the
King
might
doe
with
them
what
he
lists
;
this
hee
omits
:
although
they
be
proved
by
three
witnesses
,
and
are
appliable
to
his
intentions
fully
;
yet
he
could
make
use
of
so
much
as
makes
for
him
,
and
leaves
out
the
rest
,
like
your
Lordships
know
whom
.
Then
he
descends
to
the
fourth
Article
,
and
this
concerns
some
words
he
should
speak
upon
an
occasion
betwixt
him
and
my
Lord
of
Cork
,
that
he
should
tell
my
Lord
of
Cork
,
he
would
have
neither
Law
nor
Lawyers
dispute
or
question
his
orders
.
And
upon
another
occasion
,
that
he
would
make
my
Lord
of
Cork
and
all
Ireland
know
,
that
all
Acts
of
State
(
which
are
Acts
of
Councel
)
there
made
,
or
to
be
made
,
should
be
as
binding
as
any
Act
of
Parliament
:
This
he
said
was
proved
but
by
one
witnesse
:
and
I
extremely
marvell
to
heare
him
say
so
;
for
the
latter
words
wee
proved
by
foure
,
or
five
,
or
six
witnesses
,
that
is
,
that
he
would
have
Acts
of
State
as
binding
as
Acts
of
Parliament
.
Whereas
he
sayes
these
are
all
the
words
produced
against
him
in
the
time
of
seven
yeeres
government
there
,
your
Lordships
have
heard
of
many
words
,
and
if
we
would
trouble
your
Lordships
further
in
this
kind
,
we
could
prove
such
words
spoken
,
as
often
almost
as
he
remained
dayes
in
Ireland
,
that
is
,
for
the
mis-recitall
.
The
other
part
two
witnesses
proved
;
but
the
residue
,
That
they
must
expect
law
from
the
King
as
a
Conquerour
,
That
Acts
of
State
should
be
equall
to
Acts
of
Parliament
,
And
when
an
Act
of
Parliament
would
not
passe
,
he
would
make
it
good
by
an
Act
of
State
,
these
speeches
at
other
times
were
proved
by
five
witnesses
.
Then
he
falls
back
to
the
second
Article
,
touching
the
words
,
That
the
Kings
little
finger
should
be
heavier
then
the
loines
of
the
Law
.
My
Lords
,
these
words
were
proved
expresly
by
five
witnesses
,
to
be
by
him
spoken
;
and
if
he
had
produced
five
hundred
that
had
said
he
did
not
speak
them
,
they
had
not
been
equivalent
to
disprove
five
;
but
he
produces
none
.
Sir
William
Penniman
repeats
other
words
,
and
inverts
them
,
and
none
but
he
.
Another
party
,
a
Minister
,
reports
a
report
that
hee
heard
concerning
these
words
,
but
,
my
Lord
,
saith
he
,
the
occasion
of
the
speaking
of
them
was
not
mentioned
.
Truly
perhaps
it
might
bee
the
forgetfulnesse
of
my
Lords
memory
,
but
let
me
put
him
in
mind
.
And
your
Lordships
remember
that
the
occasion
was
exprest
by
one
,
and
that
is
Sir
David
Fowles
,
that
he
laying
a
command
upon
Sir
David
to
repaire
a
bridge
,
and
calling
him
to
account
why
it
was
not
repaired
,
Sir
David
Fowles
told
him
,
he
could
not
doe
it
by
law
.
And
therefore
omitting
it
,
my
Lord
said
to
him
,
Sir
,
some
are
all
for
Law
and
Lawyers
,
but
you
shall
know
that
the
Kings
little
finger
will
be
heavier
then
the
loines
of
the
Law
.
Here
is
the
occasion
,
though
he
would
have
another
businesse
,
the
knighting
money
to
be
the
occasion
.
From
the
second
he
falls
to
the
three
and
twentieth
Article
,
that
is
,
concerning
words
,
That
he
should
counsell
his
Majestie
,
that
he
might
use
his
Prerogative
as
he
pleased
;
but
in
saying
there
was
no
proofe
offered
,
hee
here
begins
to
fall
upon
the
other
fallacy
,
that
is
,
to
pull
things
asunder
(
whereas
we
produce
them
together
)
and
would
make
that
that
is
a
faggot
,
to
be
but
a
single
stick
;
but
,
under
favour
,
when
I
come
,
with
your
Lordships
patience
,
to
open
the
force
of
the
proofes
,
and
put
them
together
,
he
shall
find
(
contrary
to
his
expectation
)
that
they
are
fully
proved
by
the
testimony
of
many
witnesses
,
upon
consideration
of
the
precedent
,
concurrent
,
and
subsequent
acts
and
intentions
of
my
Lord
of
Strafford
.
I
shall
not
now
run
over
my
Lord
Primates
testimony
,
or
my
Lord
Conwayes
,
or
master
Treasurers
,
or
my
Lord
of
Bristols
,
but
make
use
of
them
in
their
proper
places
,
when
I
shall
put
all
together
,
to
shew
his
design
,
and
to
prove
his
speaking
of
the
words
.
Then
hee
comes
to
the
five
and
twentieth
Article
,
which
I
shall
not
insist
on
,
though
he
pretends
it
not
proved
;
I
shall
referre
that
to
my
recollection
,
that
I
may
not
answer
to
his
pieces
,
but
bring
all
together
,
and
then
the
horrour
of
his
fact
shall
more
speciously
appeare
.
Onely
this
(
under
favour
)
I
cannot
passe
over
,
when
he
comes
to
justifie
an
advice
and
counsell
of
the
Kings
being
loose
and
absolved
from
all
rules
of
government
,
and
that
he
might
use
his
Prerogative
as
hee
pleases
,
he
is
pleased
to
mention
the
argument
of
the
Judges
in
the
ship-money
,
and
what
they
should
deliver
,
he
makes
the
warrant
of
his
counsell
.
Now
your
Lordships
may
observe
,
he
would
justifie
his
actions
by
law
,
in
some
cases
,
where
it
is
to
his
advantages
,
but
in
other
cases
hee
must
be
ignorant
of
the
Law
.
But
,
my
Lords
,
for
him
to
mention
any
thing
in
the
Argument
of
the
Judges
,
concerning
the
ship-money
,
which
is
now
condemned
,
and
to
make
that
a
ground
of
his
counsell
and
advice
to
the
King
,
and
not
the
judgement
in
truth
,
but
the
argument
of
the
Councell
at
Barr
,
that
therefore
he
is
loose
,
and
absolved
from
all
rule
of
government
;
for
him
to
make
the
Parliaments
deferring
to
give
supply
,
to
be
that
necessity
which
was
insisted
upon
in
the
Councells
argument
,
and
to
be
such
an
unavoidable
necessity
,
as
to
beget
an
Invasion
upon
propriety
and
liberty
,
it
rests
in
your
judgements
,
and
the
judgements
of
all
that
heare
me
,
what
argument
this
is
,
and
what
he
declares
his
opinion
to
be
this
day
.
In
the
latter
part
,
let
me
close
hands
,
and
agree
with
him
;
he
sayes
,
Proofes
must
be
taken
by
themselves
,
they
must
not
be
judged
by
peeces
,
but
together
;
and
now
in
good
time
I
shall
joyne
with
him
,
and
shall
desire
the
same
judgement
,
That
things
may
not
be
taken
asunder
,
but
judged
together
,
according
to
his
owne
words
.
For
the
twentieth
Article
,
he
is
thereby
charged
with
being
an
Incendiary
between
both
Nations
,
and
an
occasion
of
drawing
two
Armies
into
this
kingdome
,
and
to
incense
the
warre
.
My
Lords
,
I
remember
(
if
I
did
not
mis-conceive
,
and
my
memory
misprompt
me
)
my
Lord
said
,
he
could
have
no
occasion
to
incense
a
war
,
being
a
man
of
estate
,
and
should
have
no
benefit
by
it
,
having
sufficient
to
live
without
it
:
but
in
due
time
I
shall
make
it
appeare
,
to
my
apprehension
,
and
I
beleeve
to
your
Lordships
,
when
you
have
heard
it
,
that
the
incensing
of
this
war
,
and
provoking
of
it
,
was
the
principall
instrument
of
bringing
to
passe
his
designe
of
subverting
the
Lawes
,
through
the
whole
work
of
it
.
My
Lords
,
in
the
passage
of
this
,
he
takes
occasion
to
speak
of
the
testimony
of
master
Secretary
Vane
,
who
testifies
,
that
my
Lord
was
for
an
offensive
,
and
himselfe
for
a
defensive
warre
:
whence
my
Lord
argues
,
here
is
no
great
difference
,
for
both
were
for
a
warre
:
but
,
my
Lords
,
is
there
no
difference
betweene
an
offensive
and
defensive
warre
,
in
case
of
subjects
that
live
under
one
King
?
is
there
no
difference
to
bring
an
Army
to
offend
them
,
and
for
the
King
to
raise
a
force
to
defend
himselfe
?
truly
I
think
there
is
a
great
difference
,
and
a
very
materiall
one
too
:
but
your
Lordships
see
hee
makes
no
difference
between
them
.
My
Lords
,
in
the
foure
and
twentieth
Article
he
mentions
,
that
he
is
charged
with
being
an
occasion
to
breake
the
Parliament
,
and
layes
hold
of
that
,
as
in
the
other
Articles
,
that
it
was
not
proved
,
but
declined
.
My
Lords
,
when
hee
shall
heare
the
repetition
of
the
evidence
,
though
part
of
the
Article
was
not
particularly
insisted
upon
,
yet
I
beleeve
it
will
appeare
to
your
Lordships
,
and
the
world
,
that
he
was
the
occasion
of
breaking
the
last
Parliament
,
and
it
is
expresly
proved
by
witnesses
enow
;
and
though
he
sayes
,
how
should
any body
thinke
him
an
occasion
of
it
;
that
did
so
often
advise
Parliaments
?
yet
I
shall
shew
anon
,
that
when
he
did
advise
them
,
it
was
to
compasse
his
owne
designe
and
plot
,
without
which
his
ends
could
not
be
brought
to
passe
.
He
came
from
the
foure
and
twentieth
Article
to
the
seven
and
twentieth
,
and
he
answers
against
that
Article
,
that
when
Armies
are
in
the
field
,
men
cannot
walke
so
peaceably
,
as
an
Atturney
with
his
box
and
papers
in
Westminster
hall
.
I
know
not
what
he
meanes
;
but
when
two
Armies
are
in
the
field
,
they
may
raise
warre
against
the
Kings
people
,
as
well
as
the
King
for
his
just
defence
;
it
is
the
way
to
make
his
people
terrified
with
armies
,
and
to
avoid
them
as
a
serpent
,
and
therefore
it
is
a
dangerous
aspersion
,
as
I
conceive
.
With
these
he
concluded
,
except
some
things
that
hee
took
,
by
way
of
artificiall
insinuation
,
to
perswade
your
Lordships
,
that
it
was
dangerous
to
raise
a
Treason
that
had
laine
asleep
I
know
not
how
many
hundred
yeeres
,
and
create
a
Treason
.
A
strange
thing
indeed
it
is
,
that
a
man
should
be
charged
with
a
Treason
for
subverting
the
Law
!
A
strange
thing
that
one
should
be
charged
with
Treason
for
killing
a
Justice
sitting
in
the
seat
of
justice
,
and
yet
it
should
bee
no
Treason
to
destroy
King
,
and
kingdome
,
and
people
,
and
all
;
all
which
are
destroyed
,
if
the
Law
be
subverted
.
And
now
having
touched
upon
what
he
hath
spoken
,
with
your
Lordships
good
favour
,
I
shall
crave
leave
to
run
the
course
I
have
propounded
with
my selfe
,
and
that
very
briefly
,
that
is
,
upon
the
whole
matter
to
shew
how
far
the
evidence
,
produced
on
the
Commons
part
,
doth
prove
the
charge
.
My
Lords
,
That
laid
to
his
charge
is
a
design
and
purpose
to
subvert
the
fundamentall
lawes
of
two
kingdomes
,
and
to
introduce
an
Arbitrary
and
Tyrannicall
government
;
not
that
he
did
effect
it
,
but
that
he
did
intend
it
:
for
if
he
had
done
it
,
it
had
been
t●●
late
to
question
it
,
he
had
left
no
rule
whereby
to
cal●
him
to
triall
;
but
his
intention
and
his
endevour
are
his
charge
.
My
Lords
,
how
farre
this
is
proved
;
if
your
Lordships
be
pleased
to
call
to
mind
,
the
Articles
,
and
the
evidence
produced
on
the
Commons
part
,
your
Lordships
will
find
,
I
beleeve
,
that
his
words
,
his
councells
,
and
his
actions
,
doe
sufficiently
prove
his
endevouring
to
destroy
.
In
the
first
Article
,
where
my
Lord
of
Strafford
hath
the
first
opportunitie
offered
him
to
put
this
endevour
in
execution
(
that
is
the
first
place
of
eminency
amongst
his
other
places
and
commands
,
which
,
I
take
it
,
was
his
being
made
President
of
the
North
)
he
is
no
sooner
there
,
but
there
be
Instructions
procured
to
enable
him
to
proceed
in
that
Court
,
almost
in
all
causes
;
for
a
man
can
scarce
think
of
a
cause
which
is
not
comprehended
within
the
Instructions
obtained
after
his
comming
thither
:
but
I
shall
put
your
Lordships
in
mind
of
two
clauses
of
the
Instructions
procured
in
the
eighth
yeer
of
this
King
,
and
after
he
was
President
;
that
is
,
the
clause
of
habeas
Corpus
,
and
Prohibitions
;
that
no
man
should
obtaine
a
Prohibition
,
to
stay
any
suit
that
should
be
commenced
before
him
,
in
the
Councell
of
York
;
that
if
any
man
should
be
imprisoned
by
any
processe
out
of
that
Court
,
he
must
have
no
Habeas
corpus
.
A
Prohibition
is
the
only
meanes
to
vindicate
the
estate
of
the
subject
,
if
it
be
questioned
without
authoritie
.
A
Habeas
corpus
is
the
onely
meanes
to
vindicate
his
liberty
,
if
it
be
detained
without
law
:
but
these
doores
must
be
shut
against
the
Kings
subjects
,
that
if
either
they
be
questioned
▪
or
restrained
before
him
,
there
must
be
no
reliefe
.
How
far
he
could
goe
further
I
am
to
seek
,
there
being
no
means
for
the
subject
to
●●lieve
himselfe
,
if
he
be
questioned
for
his
estate
with●●…
authoritie
;
no
meanes
to
redeeme
himselfe
,
if
his
person
be
imprisoned
without
law
.
And
he
had
so
incircled
himselfe
about
,
that
if
the
Judges
should
fine
the
party
that
returnes
not
the
Habeas
corpus
,
according
to
law
,
there
was
a
power
,
and
a
warrant
,
by
the
Instructions
,
to
the
Barons
,
to
discharge
the
Officers
of
that
fine
.
And
now
I
referre
it
to
your
Lordships
judgements
,
whether
this
be
not
to
draw
an
arbitrary
power
to
himselfe
.
For
the
execution
of
this
power
,
it
is
true
,
it
is
proved
to
be
before
the
instructions
in
the
eighth
yeere
of
the
King
;
but
then
it
riseth
the
more
in
judgement
against
him
;
for
your
Lordships
have
heard
how
he
went
into
a
grave
Judges
chamber
,
blaming
him
for
giving
way
to
a
Prohibition
,
granting
Attachments
against
one
that
moved
for
a
Prohibition
;
and
though
this
was
done
before
the
Instructions
were
granted
,
yet
the
Instructions
comming
at
the
heeles
of
it
,
sheweth
his
disposition
and
resolution
more
clearly
,
for
he
acts
it
first
,
and
then
procures
this
colour
to
protect
it
:
and
though
he
pretends
there
was
no
proofe
,
yet
I
must
put
your
Lordships
in
mind
,
that
when
these
things
were
in
question
,
concerning
the
apprehension
of
a
Knight
,
by
a
Sergeant
at
Arms
,
he
kneeles
to
his
Majestie
,
that
this
defect
might
bee
supplied
,
and
this
jurisdiction
maintained
,
else
he
might
goe
to
his
owne
Cottage
.
And
here
being
the
just
commencement
of
his
greatnesse
,
if
you
look
to
the
second
,
it
followes
,
that
at
the
publick
Assizes
he
declared
,
that
some
were
all
for
law
,
but
they
should
find
the
Kings
little
finger
heavier
then
the
loines
of
the
law
.
He
did
not
say
it
was
so
,
but
he
infused
it
as
much
as
he
could
into
the
hearts
of
the
Kings
people
that
they
should
find
it
so
;
and
so
he
reflects
upon
the
King
,
and
upon
his
people
:
The
words
are
proved
:
And
to
speak
them
in
such
a
presence
,
and
at
such
a
time
,
before
the
Judges
and
Countrey
assembled
,
they
were
so
dangerous
,
&
so
high
expressions
,
of
an
intention
to
counsell
the
King
,
or
act
it
himselfe
,
to
exercise
an
arbitrary
government
,
above
the
weight
of
the
law
,
as
possibly
could
be
exprest
by
words
.
And
this
is
proved
by
five
witnesses
,
and
not
disproved
,
nor
is
any
colour
of
disproof
offered
,
but
only
by
Sir
William
Penniman
,
who
saies
,
he
heard
other
words
,
but
not
that
he
heard
not
these
words
:
If
hee
doth
,
he
must
give
me
leave
not
to
beleeve
him
;
for
five
affirmations
will
weigh
downe
the
proofe
of
a
thousand
negatives
.
He
staies
not
long
in
England
with
this
power
(
though
while
he
staies
you
heare
how
he
vexes
the
subject
)
but
then
he
goes
into
Ireland
;
and
as
his
authority
increases
,
so
he
ampliates
his
designe
;
and
no
sooner
is
he
there
,
but
the
third
Article
is
laid
to
his
charge
,
That
when
the
City
and
Recorder
of
Dublin
,
the
principall
City
of
Ireland
,
presented
the
Mayor
,
upon
a
solemne
speech
and
discourse
concerning
the
lawes
and
liberties
(
as
your
Lordships
know
that
is
the
subject
matter
of
a
speech
at
such
presentments
,
as
when
the
Lord
Mayor
of
London
is
presented
to
the
King
)
I
beseech
your
Lordships
observe
the
words
he
then
used
,
they
were
a
conquered
Nation
,
and
that
we
lay
not
to
his
charge
,
but
they
were
to
be
governed
as
the
King
pleases
,
their
Charters
were
nothing
worth
,
and
bind
but
during
the
Kings
pleasure
.
I
am
to
seek
,
if
I
were
to
expresse
an
arbitrary
power
,
and
tyrannicall
government
,
how
to
expresse
it
in
fitter
words
,
and
more
significant
terms
than
these
,
that
the
people
shall
be
governed
at
the
Kings
will
,
that
their
Charters
,
the
sinewes
and
ligatures
of
their
liberties
,
lands
,
and
estates
,
should
be
nothing
worth
,
and
bind
no
longer
then
the
Kings
pleasure
,
specially
being
spoken
upon
such
an
occasion
,
and
the
words
proved
by
two
or
three
witnesses
of
credit
and
quality
.
From
thence
we
descend
to
Articles
,
that
shew
the
execution
of
his
purpose
.
There
be
three
things
a
man
enjoyes
by
the
protection
of
the
law
;
that
is
,
his
life
,
his
liberty
,
and
his
estate
.
And
now
,
my
Lords
,
observe
how
he
invades
,
and
exercises
a
tyrannicall
jurisdiction
,
and
arbitrary
government
over
them
all
three
.
I
shall
begin
with
the
fifth
Article
,
that
is
concerning
my
Lord
Mountnorris
and
Denwit
.
My
Lord
Mountnorris
,
a
Peere
of
that
Realm
,
was
sentenced
to
death
by
procurement
of
my
Lord
of
Strafford
;
who
,
howsoever
hee
pretends
himselfe
not
to
be
a
Judge
in
the
cause
,
yet
how
farre
he
was
an
Abettor
,
and
Procurer
,
and
Countenancer
,
and
drawer
on
of
that
sentence
,
your
Lordships
very
well
remember
;
he
was
sentenced
to
death
,
without
law
,
for
speaking
words
at
a
private
Table
,
God
knows
,
of
no
manner
of
consequence
in
the
world
,
concerning
the
treading
upon
my
Lord
of
Straffords
toe
;
the
sentence
procured
seven
moneths
after
the
words
spoken
,
and
contrary
to
law
,
and
himselfe
being
put
in
mind
of
it
,
my
Lord
Mountnorris
desiring
to
have
the
benefit
of
the
law
,
and
yet
he
refusing
it
.
And
then
it
was
in
time
of
peace
,
when
all
the
Courts
of
justice
were
open
,
and
to
sentence
a
man
to
death
of
that
quality
,
my
Lord
of
Strafford
himselfe
being
present
,
an
author
,
a
drawer
on
of
it
,
makes
it
very
hainous
.
Your
Lordships
remember
this
Article
was
fully
proved
,
and
though
he
pretends
his
authority
by
a
letter
from
his
Majesty
,
I
shall
in
due
time
give
a
full
answer
to
that
,
so
that
it
shall
rise
up
in
judgement
against
him
,
to
aggravate
his
offence
,
and
that
in
a
great
measure
.
Here
he
exercises
a
power
over
life
,
his
excuse
was
,
that
he
procured
a
pardon
for
my
Lord
Mountnorris
;
but
the
power
was
exercised
,
and
the
tyranny
appeared
to
be
the
more
;
he
would
first
sentence
him
to
death
,
and
then
rejoyce
in
his
power
,
that
he
might
say
,
There
remaines
no
more
but
my
command
to
the
Provost
Marshall
to
doe
execution
.
To
exercise
a
power
over
his
life
,
and
to
abuse
him
afterwards
,
is
very
high
;
but
no
thanks
to
him
that
the
sentence
of
death
was
not
executed
,
it
was
the
grace
and
goodnesse
of
his
Majesty
that
would
not
suffer
my
Lord
Mountnorris
,
a
person
of
that
eminence
,
to
be
put
to
death
against
law
.
But
the
other
was
hanged
,
and
,
as
appeares
,
against
law
;
and
though
my
Lord
pretends
the
party
was
burnt
in
the
hand
,
yet
that
was
not
proved
,
nor
materiall
:
and
for
him
to
doe
this
in
time
of
peace
,
when
the
Courts
of
justice
were
open
,
it
argues
a
desire
in
his
breast
to
arrogate
a
power
above
law
.
And
in
truth
I
may
not
omit
some
observations
that
my
Lord
made
this
day
;
he
hopes
his
Majesty
would
bee
pleased
to
grant
him
a
Pardon
.
I
perceive
hee
harboured
in
his
thoughts
,
that
hee
might
hang
the
Kings
subjects
when
he
would
,
and
then
get
a
Pardon
of
course
for
it
.
The
Lord
blesse
me
from
his
jurisdiction
.
My
Lords
,
give
me
leave
to
goe
back
againe
,
here
is
power
over
the
lives
and
liberties
of
the
subject
;
but
he
exercised
likewise
a
Tyrannicall
power
over
his
estate
.
Your
Lordships
may
be
pleased
to
remember
the
fourth
Article
,
where
he
judges
my
Lord
of
Corks
estate
,
in
neither
Church
land
,
nor
plantation
land
,
and
therefore
had
no
pretence
of
a
jurisdiction
;
for
it
is
a
lay
fee
divolved
by
Act
of
Parliament
to
the
Crown
;
yet
he
deprives
him
of
his
possession
which
he
had
continued
for
twenty
nine
yeeres
,
upon
a
paper
petition
,
without
rules
of
law
.
And
whereas
my
Lord
of
Cork
went
about
to
redeeme
himselfe
(
the
law
being
every
mans
inheritance
,
and
that
which
he
ought
to
enjoy
)
he
tels
him
,
hee
will
lay
him
by
the
heeles
▪
if
he
withdraw
not
his
proces
:
and
so
when
he
hath
judged
him
against
an
expresse
Act
of
Parliament
,
and
Instructions
,
and
bound
up
a
great
Peere
of
the
Realme
,
hee
will
not
suffer
him
to
redeeme
that
wrong
,
without
a
threat
of
laying
him
by
the
heeles
,
and
he
will
not
have
Law
nor
Lawyers
question
his
Orders
,
and
would
have
them
all
know
,
an
Act
of
State
should
be
equall
to
an
Act
of
Parliament
:
Which
are
words
of
that
nature
,
that
higher
cannot
be
spoken
,
to
declare
an
intention
to
proceed
in
an
arbitrary
way
.
The
next
was
in
my
Lord
Mountnorris
his
case
,
and
Rolstone
.
And
here
I
must
touch
my
Lord
with
misrepetition
.
Rolstone
preferred
a
petition
to
my
Lord
Deputy
,
my
Lord
Deputy
himselfe
judges
his
estate
,
and
deprived
him
of
his
possession
,
though
he
cannot
produce
so
much
as
one
example
,
or
precedent
(
though
if
he
had
,
it
would
not
have
warranted
an
illegall
action
)
but
hee
cannot
produce
a
precedent
,
that
ever
any
Deputy
did
determine
concerning
a
mans
private
estate
;
and
if
hee
hath
affirmed
it
,
he
proved
it
not
:
some
petitions
have
been
preferred
to
him
,
but
what
they
be
non
constat
.
But
,
though
never
any
knew
the
Deputy
alone
to
determine
matters
of
land
,
yet
he
did
it
.
To
the
seventh
Article
we
produce
no
evidence
;
but
my
Lord
of
Strafford
cannot
be
content
with
that
,
but
he
must
take
upon
him
to
make
defence
for
that
which
is
not
insisted
upon
as
a
charge
;
but
since
he
will
doe
so
,
I
refer
it
to
the
book
in
print
,
where
he
determines
the
inheritance
of
a
Nobleman
in
that
Kingdome
,
that
is
,
my
Lord
Dillon
,
by
a
case
falsly
drawne
,
and
contrary
to
his
consent
;
and
though
he
deprives
him
not
of
his
possession
,
yet
he
causes
the
Land
to
be
measured
out
,
and
it
is
a
danger
that
hangs
over
his
head
to
this
day
.
And
had
we
not
knowne
that
we
had
matter
enough
against
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
this
should
have
risen
in
judgement
against
him
;
but
I
had
not
mentioned
it
now
,
if
he
had
not
mentioned
it
himselfe
.
The
eighth
Article
containes
severall
charges
,
as
that
of
my
Lord
Chancellour
,
how
he
imprisoned
him
upon
a
judgement
before
himselfe
and
the
Councell
,
how
he
inforced
the
Seale
from
him
when
hee
had
no
authority
,
nay
,
though
it
were
excepted
by
his
Patent
that
hee
should
no
way
dispose
of
it
;
but
he
looked
not
to
Authority
,
further
then
might
make
way
to
his
will
.
Another
concerns
the
prime
Earle
of
that
Kingdome
,
my
Lord
of
Kildare
,
whom
he
imprisoned
,
and
kept
close
prisoner
,
contrary
to
the
Kings
expresse
command
for
his
deliverance
;
and
in
his
answer
my
Lord
acknowledges
it
,
but
sayes
,
that
that
command
was
obtained
from
the
King
upon
a
mis-information
.
These
things
I
would
not
have
mentioned
,
if
he
had
passed
them
over
;
but
since
he
gives
them
in
,
give
mee
leave
to
mention
,
and
say
,
we
had
a
ground
to
put
them
into
charge
,
and
could
have
proved
them
,
if
there
had
been
need
,
punctually
and
expresly
,
and
I
beleeve
little
to
my
Lords
advantage
.
But
Your
Lordships
I
think
doe
remember
my
Lady
Hibbots
case
,
where
the
Lady
Hibbots
contracts
with
Thomas
Hibbots
for
his
inheritance
for
2500.
l.
executes
the
contract
by
a
Deed
,
and
Fine
levied
,
deposits
part
of
the
money
,
and
when
a
Petition
was
exhibited
to
the
L.
Deputy
and
Councell
for
the
very
estate
,
your
Lordships
remember
how
this
came
in
judgement
before
my
Lord
Deputy
;
there
was
but
a
petition
delivered
,
there
was
an
answer
made
▪
and
all
the
suggestions
of
the
petition
denied
;
yet
my
Lord
spake
to
Hibbots
himselfe
,
that
was
willing
to
accept
the
money
,
not
to
decline
the
way
that
he
was
in
by
petition
;
five
hundred
pound
more
will
doe
him
no
hurt
to
carry
into
England
with
him
:
and
yet
,
without
examination
of
a
witnesse
,
a
Decree
was
made
to
deprive
this
Lady
of
her
estate
:
And
the
purchasing
of
this
land
by
my
Lord
of
Strafford
was
proved
by
two
witnesses
,
though
not
absolutely
,
yet
by
confession
of
Sir
Robert
Meredith
,
and
others
,
whose
names
were
used
in
trust
for
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
and
that
it
proved
according
to
my
Lord
of
Straffords
prophecie
;
for
the
man
had
five
hundred
pounds
gaine
above
the
Contract
with
my
Lady
Hibbots
:
But
after
,
the
lands
were
sold
for
seven
thousand
pound
;
so
that
the
Lady
Hibbots
offence
was
her
making
of
a
bargain
whereby
to
gain
five
hundred
pounds
;
But
there
was
no
offence
in
my
Lord
,
to
make
a
bargaine
for
three
thousand
pounds
,
and
to
gain
foure
thousand
pound
presently
:
this
you
see
proved
by
Hibbots
the
party
,
and
by
master
Hoy
the
son
of
the
Lady
Hibbots
.
So
that
here
is
a
determination
of
a
cause
before
the
Councell
Table
touching
land
,
which
was
neither
plantation
,
nor
Church-land
,
without
colour
of
the
instructions
,
contrary
to
law
,
to
statute
,
to
practice
;
and
if
this
be
not
an
exercising
of
an
unlawfull
jurisdiction
over
the
Land
and
Estates
of
the
subject
,
I
know
not
what
is
.
In
his
answer
to
this
case
hee
did
open
it
(
yet
whether
he
mistook
or
no
I
know
not
)
that
hee
had
a
letter
from
the
King
,
but
he
produces
none
in
evidence
;
and
that
is
another
mis-recitall
.
I
am
sorry
he
should
mis-recite
,
and
fix
it
upon
the
person
of
his
Soveraigne
in
a
case
of
this
nature
.
Now
he
falls
more
immediately
upon
the
liberty
of
the
subject
,
and
that
is
by
the
Warrant
mentioned
in
the
ninth
Article
,
to
be
issued
to
the
Bishop
of
Downe
and
Conner
,
whereby
he
gives
power
to
him
and
his
Officers
to
apprehend
any
of
the
Kings
subjects
that
appeared
not
upon
Proces
out
of
his
Ecclesiasticall
Courts
,
expresly
contrary
to
law
;
and
your
Lordships
have
heard
how
miserably
the
Kings
subjects
were
used
by
this
warrant
,
as
hath
beene
proved
by
a
Gentleman
of
quality
,
Sir
James
Mountgomery
:
And
howsoever
hee
pretends
it
was
called
in
,
it
was
three
whole
yeers
in
execution
,
before
it
was
called
in
;
and
though
he
pretends
his
Predecessours
did
ordinarily
grant
Warrants
of
that
nature
,
yet
he
proves
no
such
thing
.
My
Lord
Primate
was
examined
,
and
he
sayes
,
that
Bishop
Mountgomery
did
tell
him
there
was
such
a
Warrant
,
and
one
witnesse
more
speakes
of
one
Warrant
,
and
that
is
all
the
witnesses
produced
,
and
that
but
to
be
a
copy
too
.
Your
Lordships
have
heard
how
he
exercises
his
jurisdiction
and
power
over
particulars
,
and
that
in
a
numerous
manner
;
now
your
Lordships
shall
find
it
universall
,
and
spread
over
the
face
of
that
Kingdome
that
was
under
his
jurisdiction
,
and
that
is
in
the
tenth
Article
,
which
concernes
the
Customes
:
where
hee
doth
impose
upon
the
Kings
subjects
a
rate
and
taxe
against
law
,
and
enforces
them
to
pay
it
,
or
else
punishes
them
for
it
;
which
is
expresly
an
arrogating
to
himselfe
of
a
jurisdiction
above
the
law
.
My
Lords
,
in
his
answer
he
pretends
that
this
is
rather
a
matter
of
fraud
than
otherwise
:
in
truth
and
so
it
is
,
and
that
a
great
one
too
.
But
as
it
is
a
fraud
,
a
dis-service
,
and
deceit
to
his
Majestie
,
so
it
is
likewise
an
exercise
of
a
tyrannicall
jurisdiction
over
his
subjects
:
That
it
is
a
fraud
to
his
Majestie
it
plainly
appeares
,
for
the
King
lost
exceedingly
by
it
;
whereas
before
the
rent
affoorded
the
King
was
11050.
l.
there
was
improved
by
the
new
lease
,
that
my
Lord
of
Strafford
took
but
1350.
l.
and
I
beseech
your
Lordships
observe
how
much
the
King
lost
by
it
;
for
my
Lord
had
comprehended
in
his
new
lease
the
impost
of
wine
,
for
which
the
King
before
that
time
received
1400.
l.
a
yeere
;
and
likewise
the
Custome
of
London
Durry
,
Colerane
,
and
Knockfergus
,
for
which
the
King
had
reserved
1700.
l.
a
yeere
,
besides
the
moity
of
the
seisures
:
so
here
is
5000.
l.
that
the
King
lost
of
the
old
rent
expresly
:
and
,
if
your
Lordships
please
,
observe
the
gain
and
benefit
my
Lord
of
Strafford
made
by
it
;
in
one
yeere
he
and
his
sharers
received
39000.
l.
and
in
the
last
yeere
51000.
l.
and
that
expresly
proved
upon
two
accounts
:
and
if
this
be
his
dealing
,
where
is
his
service
to
the
King
in
his
pretence
to
advance
the
Customes
?
It
is
true
,
he
sayes
,
the
King
hath
five
eighth
parts
,
but
it
was
but
within
these
two
yeeres
,
the
King
had
it
not
before
.
And
I
would
very
gladly
have
heard
whether
the
King
received
his
part
of
an
account
of
55000.
l.
if
he
had
received
it
,
I
beleeve
wee
should
have
heard
of
it
.
My
Lords
,
there
is
something
more
;
here
is
a
new
imposition
on
the
Kings
people
without
law
,
and
yet
I
will
doe
my
Lord
of
Strafford
no
injury
:
but
I
tell
you
how
the
proofe
stands
;
It
was
a
book
of
rates
framed
before
he
came
to
the
forme
,
for
the
booke
of
rates
was
in
March
,
and
the
date
of
his
assignment
is
in
April
following
;
and
therefore
my
Lord
saith
,
it
could
not
be
for
his
benefit
.
But
,
my
Lords
,
all
this
while
my
Lord
of
Strafford
was
in
England
,
and
in
agitation
for
the
procuring
of
it
,
and
they
come
one
upon
the
heeles
of
another
,
and
I
beseech
you
observe
cui
bono
;
the
book
of
rates
was
procured
within
a
moneth
of
the
Patent
,
but
God
knowes
whether
it
were
not
within
the
compasse
of
his
intentions
to
take
the
Patent
;
and
therefore
whether
he
were
not
the
Instrument
of
raising
rates
,
it
rests
in
your
Lordships
judgement
,
and
all
that
heare
me
;
I
am
sure
the
benefit
redounded
to
himselfe
:
and
so
here
is
an
arbitrary
government
in
imposing
and
forcing
to
pay
,
for
that
I
desire
your
Lordships
to
take
with
you
;
and
hee
might
as
well
have
raised
nineteen
shillings
on
a
pound
,
as
nine
pence
,
or
three
pence
,
by
the
same
rule
of
Law
.
The
next
Article
in
number
was
the
eleventh
,
and
I
would
be
glad
my
Lord
had
not
mentioned
it
;
it
concernes
the
Pipe-staves
,
wherein
he
pretends
he
did
the
King
great
service
,
and
that
,
he
sayes
,
was
the
reason
of
our
passing
over
it
:
but
that
was
not
the
reason
;
it
had
beene
a
foule
businesse
if
we
had
opened
it
;
but
having
enough
besides
,
we
made
not
use
of
it
:
for
the
substance
of
the
proofes
by
multiplicity
of
witnesses
had
beene
,
That
the
parties
themselves
that
bought
the
Pipe-staves
for
foure
pound
odd
money
,
were
faine
to
sell
them
to
his
Instruments
for
six
pounds
,
and
after
to
buy
them
againe
for
ten
pounds
,
else
there
must
be
no
licence
to
export
them
:
But
that
I
would
not
have
mentioned
if
he
had
let
it
slip
over
.
I
come
to
the
twelfth
Article
,
and
that
is
concerning
the
Tobacco
,
wherein
he
pretends
the
Kings
service
,
and
,
if
my
memory
faile
me
not
,
the
desire
of
the
Parliament
,
that
hee
should
take
this
into
his
hands
for
the
King
.
My
Lords
,
therein
,
under
his
favour
,
hee
hath
mis-recited
the
evidence
,
and
spoken
that
hee
cannot
justifie
;
for
he
can
shew
no
such
desire
of
the
Parliament
.
It
is
true
,
there
was
a
desire
of
the
Parliament
,
that
the
King
would
be
pleased
to
take
his
Customes
into
his
hands
for
the
advancement
of
his
revenew
,
that
it
might
goe
to
maintaine
himselfe
,
and
he
might
not
be
abused
,
and
others
live
by
it
;
but
to
take
the
Tobacco
into
his
hands
,
he
never
did
,
nor
can
produce
a
witnesse
to
prove
such
their
desire
;
and
therefore
,
under
favour
,
he
fixes
a
wrong
upon
the
Parliament
,
and
injures
your
Lordships
by
his
reciting
that
he
neither
did
nor
can
make
good
;
for
there
was
no
such
thing
.
But
if
you
observe
the
course
he
takes
,
he
makes
Proclamation
to
hinder
the
importing
of
Tobacco
into
Ireland
;
that
if
it
be
imported
,
it
must
be
sold
to
him
at
his
own
rate
;
and
by
this
meanes
he
first
hinders
the
liberty
of
the
subject
from
doing
what
the
law
allowes
him
,
and
so
takes
on
him
an
arbitrary
power
;
and
secondly
,
he
ingrosses
this
commodity
to
himselfe
,
deceiving
his
Majestie
,
to
whom
he
professeth
so
much
fidelity
;
for
whereas
there
is
5000.
l.
rent
to
the
King
,
he
,

of
Merchants

▪
l.
a
yeer
:
And
because
their
computations
are
not
alwayes
true
,
I
doe
not
care
if
I
allow
him
40000.
l.
mistaken
,
and
then
he
will
gaine
neere
100000.
l.
so
that
if
he
intends
the
Kings
benefit
,
it
is
wonder
he
told
not
his
Majestie
of
the
great
profit
that
might
thereby
have
risen
,
and
let
him
partake
of
it
,
as
in
justice
he
should
have
done
,
according
to
the
trust
reposed
in
him
:
but
you
have
heard
of
no
such
matter
.
And
surely
my
Lord
of
Strafford
would
not
have
omitted
it
,
if
it
had
been
for
his
advantage
,
especially
in
this
presence
,
where
hee
omits
nothing
to
cleere
himselfe
,
or
to
insinuate
with
his
Majesty
.
Now
I
come
to
the
thirteenth
Article
,
the
Article
concerning
Flax
,
which
I
know
is
fresh
in
your
Lordships
memories
,
and
I
beleeve
will
be
so
in
the
memories
of
the
subjects
of
Ireland
for
many
yeeres
,
how
he
ingrossed
it
into
his
hands
,
and
interrupted
the
trade
of
the
poore
people
,
whereby
such
miseries
and
calamities
befell
many
of
that
Nation
,
that
,
as
you
have
heard
it
proved
,
thousands
dye
in
ditches
for
want
of
bread
to
put
in
their
mouths
.
And
whereas
he
pretends
that
this
was
proved
but
by
one
witnesse
,
and
that
man
to
be
imprisoned
,
and
of
no
credit
,
though
he
was
his
owne
instrument
;
your
Lordships
remember
Sir
John
Clatworthy
his
testimony
,
and
anothers
,
and
his
own
Warrant
produced
,
and
acknowledged
here
to
justifie
the
execution
of
it
,
and
such
a
thing
was
thereby
taken
into
his
owne
hands
,
that
I
professe
I
never
heard
the
like
,
that
the
poore
people
should
be
constrained
to
use
their
owne
as
he
pleased
,
and
that
pleasing
of
himselfe
laid
an
impossibility
on
the
people
to
execute
his
pleasure
,
which
was
a
bondage
exceeding
that
of
the
Israelites
under
the
Egyptians
;
for
there
was
not
laid
so
much
upon
the
Children
of
Israel
,
but
there
was
a
possibility
to
performe
;
they
might
with
much
labour
perchance
get
stubble
to
burn
their
brick
,
but
the
natives
here
must
have
a
charge
laid
upon
them
without
possibility
to
performe
,
and
the
disobedience
must
cost
them
no
lesse
then
the
losse
of
their
goods
,
which
drew
with
it
even
the
losse
of
their
lives
for
want
of
bread
.
This
was
not
proved
by
onely
one
witnesse
,
but
by
many
.
And
your
Lordships
remember
the
remonstrance
of
that
Parliament
of
Ireland
,
which
declares
it
to
a
greater
height
than
I
have
opened
it
.
The
fifteenth
Article
is
that
of
levying
warre
upon
the
Kings
subjects
,
expresly
within
the
Statute
of
25.
E.
3.
and
18.
H.
6.
Your
Lordships
have
heard
the
Warrant
proved
by
the
party
himselfe
,
to
whom
it
was
directed
;
whereby
power
was
given
to
lay
souldiers
upon
any
party
,
that
did
not
obey
my
Lord
of
Straffords
orders
at
the
Councell
Table
,
but
not
to
circumscribe
him
to
a
certain
number
;
but
the
Seargeant
at
Arms
,
and
his
ministers
,
might
lay
as
many
as
they
would
.
It
is
true
,
this
warrant
was
not
it selfe
produced
,
but
a
copy
was
offered
,
which
was
not
read
;
and
therefore
I
will
not
offer
it
to
be
proved
,
but
the
party
that
executed
the
Warrant
it self
,
proves
it
to
be
under
the
hand
and
seale
of
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
he
proves
the
expresse
authority
of
it
,
which
was
to
the
effect
I
opened
;
three
or
foure
more
,
who
saw
and
read
it
,
proved
the
same
:
and
that
it
was
under
the
hand
and
seale
of
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
that
accordingly
it
was
executed
upon
divers
of
the
Kings
subjects
;
it
was
proved
by
three
witnesses
expresly
in
the
point
,
how
by
colour
of
this
Warrant
the
Sergeant
at
Armes
,
and
his
Officers
,
sent
souldiers
to
lye
in
the
houses
and
lands
of
the
Kings
subjects
;
how
the
owners
were
thereby
forced
out
from
their
own
habitation
;
how
their
goods
were
wasted
and
devoured
,
their
corn
and
victuals
eaten
up
,
and
the
souldiers
never
left
them
,
as
long
as
any
part
of
their
estates
remained
to
maintain
them
.
My
Lord
of
Straffords
defence
is
,
that
it
hath
been
used
before
his
time
in
Ireland
;
wherein
hee
hath
againe
mis-recited
;
for
he
did
not
offer
a
proofe
,
nor
a
particle
of
a
proofe
,
that
ever
any
man
did
know
souldiers
laid
upon
any
party
for
refusing
to
appeare
to
a
Warrant
,
or
for
other
contempt
at
Councell
Table
,
before
himselfe
did
it
;
but
hee
offered
to
prove
,
that
formerly
souldiers
were
sent
against
Rebels
,
and
that
after
they
were
declared
to
be
Rebels
,
and
justly
too
;
and
he
proved
an
use
and
custome
to
force
men
to
pay
the
contribution
mony
due
to
the
King
,
but
that
was
by
consent
of
the
people
,
who
granted
a
contribution
of
20000.
l.
a
yeere
,
for
encrease
of
the
Kings
revennue
;
and
that
it
might
not
be
upon
record
in
the
Exchequer
,
and
so
claimed
as
due
in
time
to
come
,
they
consented
that
souldiers
should
be
laid
upon
them
that
refused
it
;
and
the
word
(
consent
)
is
within
the
Statute
of
18.
H.
6.
Againe
,
did
he
prove
all
manner
of
rents
were
levied
by
souldiers
?
no
such
thing
;
but
such
rents
as
were
designed
for
payment
of
the
Army
:
he
proved
by
Sir
Arthur
Terringham
the
laying
of
souldiers
once
for
the
payment
of
a
summe
of
mony
;
but
sir
Arthur
being
demanded
whether
it
were
the
Kings
rents
,
or
comprehended
within
the
same
generall
rule
,
he
could
make
no
answer
thereunto
.
Your
Lordships
remember
,
he
sayes
he
did
not
know
it
,
and
therefore
probably
it
was
the
Kings
rents
;
and
doubtlesse
it
was
so
.
But
if
he
had
produced
presidents
,
it
could
not
be
an
authority
for
Treason
,
that
if
people
did
not
appeare
to
his
orders
,
he
must
levie
warre
against
the
Kings
subjects
;
and
for
his
extenuation
of
the
warre
,
that
the
same
was
of
no
great
danger
,
there
being
not
above
five
or
six
souldiers
layd
at
a
time
.
I
would
to
God
the
people
oppressed
by
it
,
had
cause
to
undervalue
it
:
I
am
sure
foure
or
six
Musketiers
are
as
strong
to
oppresse
a
man
as
foure
thousand
;
so
the
matter
of
fact
is
strongly
and
expresly
proved
.
Besides
,
though
there
came
not
above
foure
or
five
to
a
house
,
yet
the
authority
given
to
the
Sergeant
was
generall
;
he
might
have
brought
more
if
hee
had
listed
:
and
in
truth
hee
brought
as
many
as
the
estate
of
the
party
would
maintain
.
And
as
to
the
not
producing
of
the
Warrant
,
I
have
already
answered
it
.
If
it
were
in
the
case
of
a
Deed
wherin
men
call
for
witnesses
,
it
were
something
;
but
God
forbid
that
the
Treason
should
be
gone
,
and
the
Traitor
not
questionable
,
if
his
warrant
can
be
once
put
out
of
the
way
.
The
next
Article
which
is
laid
to
his
charge
is
,
for
issuing
out
a
Proclamation
,
and
Warrant
of
restraint
,
to
inhibit
the
Kings
subjects
to
come
to
the
Fountaine
,
their
Soveraigne
,
to
deliver
their
complaints
of
their
wrongs
and
oppressions
.
Your
Lordships
have
heard
how
hee
hath
exercised
his
jurisdiction
,
and
now
he
raises
a
battery
to
secure
and
make
it
safe
.
If
he
doe
wrong
,
perhaps
the
complaint
may
come
to
the
gracious
eares
of
a
King
,
who
is
ready
to
give
reliefe
,
and
therefore
he
must
stop
these
cries
,
and
prevent
these
meanes
,
that
hee
may
goe
on
without
interruption
.
And
to
that
end
he
makes
propositions
here
,
that
the
Kings
subjects
in
Ireland
should
not
come
over
to
make
complaint
against
Ministers
of
State
,
before
an
addresse
first
made
to
himselfe
.
It
is
true
,
hee
makes
a
faire
pretence
and
shew
for
it
,
and
had
just
cause
of
approbation
,
if
he
had
intended
what
he
pretended
;
But
as
soon
as
he
came
into
Ireland
,
what
use
made
hee
of
it
?
he
ingrosses
the
proceedings
of
almost
all
the
Courts
of
Justice
into
his
owne
hands
,
and
so
pre-possesses
the
King
by
a
colourable
proposition
,
and
prevents
their
comming
over
before
they
had
made
their
addresse
to
himselfe
,
and
then
he
becomes
the
wrong
doer
,
and
issues
Proclamations
for
the
hindering
of
the
Kings
subjects
to
seeke
redresse
without
his
leave
;
which
is
as
great
a
proofe
of
his
designe
,
and
as
great
an
injury
to
the
people
,
governed
under
a
gracious
Prince
,
as
a
heart
can
conceive
.
And
what
his
intention
was
in
exhibiting
this
proposition
,
it
will
appeare
in
the
sentence
of
a
poor
man
,
one
David
,
who
was
censured
,
and
most
heavily
fined
for
comming
over
into
England
to
prosecute
complaint
against
my
Lord
of
Strafford
.
It
is
true
,
that
this
was
not
the
cause
expressed
,
but
this
was
the
truth
of
the
matter
.
Your
Lordships
remember
a
clause
in
the
order
at
Councell
Boord
,
whereby
is
set
forth
the
cause
wherefore
the
party
is
not
sentenced
,
which
I
never
saw
in
an
order
before
,
nor
should
now
,
but
that
my
Lord
foresaw
there
was
danger
in
it
,
that
he
might
be
charged
in
this
place
for
the
fact
;
and
therefore
puts
in
negatively
why
the
party
was
not
censured
.
Clausula
inconsulta
inducit
suspitionem
.
And
how
defends
he
this
Article
?
he
sayes
,
his
Predecessours
issued
Proclamations
to
hinder
the
Kings
subjects
from
going
over
,
lest
they
should
joyne
with
O
Neale
and
Tirconnell
beyond
sea
,
and
so
it
might
be
dangerous
to
the
State
;
but
because
they
may
joyn
with
Forreiners
,
shall
they
therefore
not
come
to
the
King
to
make
just
complaint
?
what
this
argument
is
,
I
referre
to
your
Lordships
judgments
.
Then
he
pretends
a
former
president
,
affirming
that
the
like
Instructions
were
given
to
my
Lord
of
Faulkland
;
but
was
there
any
,
that
none
should
come
to
their
Soveraigne
to
make
their
just
appeale
if
injured
?
Surely
there
was
never
any
such
Instruction
before
,
and
I
hope
never
will
be
againe
.
The
next
Article
is
the
nineteenth
:
And
now
when
hee
had
so
plentifully
exercised
his
tyranny
over
the
lives
,
the
liberty
,
and
the
estates
of
the
Kings
subjects
.
A
man
would
think
he
could
goe
no
further
;
but
see
a
Tyranny
exercised
beyond
that
,
and
that
is
over
the
Consciences
of
men
:
hitherto
hee
dealt
with
the
outward
man
,
and
now
hee
offers
violence
to
the
inward
man
,
and
imposes
an
Oath
upon
the
Kings
subjects
,
and
so
exerciseth
a
tyranny
over
the
Consciences
of
men
.
And
setting
aside
the
matter
of
the
Oath
,
if
he
hath
authority
and
power
to
impose
such
an
Oath
as
he
shall
frame
,
he
may
by
the
same
power
impose
any
Oath
to
compell
Consciences
.
He
pretends
a
Warrant
from
his
Majestie
to
doe
it
,
but
the
Kings
Ministers
are
to
serve
the
King
according
to
law
;
and
I
dare
be
bold
to
say
(
and
we
have
good
reason
to
thank
God
for
it
)
if
any
of
the
Kings
Ministers
tell
him
that
any
Command
he
gives
is
against
law
,
there
is
no
doubt
but
in
his
goodnesse
and
piety
hee
will
withdraw
his
Command
,
and
not
enforce
execution
;
and
therefore
if
there
were
an
errour
,
the
King
is
free
,
and
the
Ministers
to
be
justly
charged
with
it
.
But
there
was
no
Command
from
the
King
to
compell
and
enforce
them
to
take
the
Oath
by
the
power
of
the
Star-chamber
,
to
commit
them
to
prison
,
to
impose
heavie
fines
,
and
tyrannize
over
them
;
all
which
he
did
in
the
case
of
Steward
.
And
now
one
would
have
thought
hee
had
acted
his
part
,
when
he
had
acted
as
much
as
lay
in
his
own
power
;
and
yet
he
goes
beyond
this
,
he
was
not
content
to
corrupt
all
the
streames
(
which
was
not
a
diverting
of
the
course
,
as
he
spoke
in
his
answer
;
for
he
not
onely
turned
the
course
of
the
water
,
but
changed
the
nature
of
it
,
converted
it
into
poyson
,
a
legall
and
just
proceeding
into
a
Tyrannicall
and
Arbitrary
government
,
which
is
not
turning
,
but
corrupting
of
the
cleere
and
christall
streams
to
bitternesse
and
death
.
)
But
yet
the
Fountaine
remains
cleere
,
and
perhaps
when
his
hand
is
taken
off
,
you
shall
have
the
streames
run
as
pure
and
uncorrupt
as
ever
they
did
.
This
is
it
troubles
him
,
remove
but
this
obstacle
,
and
the
work
is
perfect
;
and
therefore
now
he
will
goe
about
to
corrupt
the
streames
:
if
hee
can
but
infuse
his
poyson
into
the
Kings
heart
,
which
is
the
Fountain
,
then
all
is
done
;
and
now
he
attempts
that
,
and
approacheth
the
Throne
,
endeavours
to
corrupt
the
Kings
goodnesse
with
wicked
counsels
;
but
God
be
thanked
he
finds
too
much
piety
there
to
prevaile
.
And
therefore
the
next
Article
is
that
,
that
charges
him
to
be
an
Incendiary
to
the
warre
betwixt
the
two
Kingdomes
:
and
now
I
shall
be
bold
to
unfold
the
mysterie
,
and
answer
his
objection
:
To
what
purpose
should
he
be
an
Incendiary
?
were
it
not
better
to
enjoy
his
estate
in
peace
and
quietnesse
,
then
have
it
under
danger
of
a
warre
?
Now
your
Lordships
shall
have
the
Riddle
discovered
.
The
first
thing
hee
doth
after
his
comming
into
England
is
,
to
incense
the
King
to
a
warre
,
to
involve
two
Nations
,
of
one
faith
,
and
under
one
Soveraigne
,
to
imbrue
their
hands
in
each
others
blood
,
and
to
draw
Armies
into
the
field
.
That
he
was
this
Incendiary
,
give
me
leave
to
revive
your
Lordships
memories
with
the
proofes
which
will
make
it
plaine
;
and
first
give
me
leave
to
note
unto
your
Lordships
,
that
his
Majestie
,
with
much
wisedome
,
did
in
July
1639.
make
a
pacification
with
his
subjects
,
and
even
at
the
very
heeles
of
this
pacification
,
when
all
things
were
at
peace
,
upon
the
tenth
of
September
,
which
was
the
next
moneth
but
one
,
your
Lordships
remember
the
sentence
of
Steward
in
the
Star-chamber
of
Ireland
,
for
not
taking
the
oath
;
your
Lordships
may
call
to
mind
the
language
my
L.
of
Strafford
was
pleased
to
use
of
the
Scots
:
when
all
was
in
quietnesse
,
he
then
calls
them
no
better
then
Traitours
and
Rebels
,
if
you
will
beleeve
what
the
witnesse
testifies
,
whom
my
Lord
is
pleased
to
call
a
School-master
:
And
truly
admit
hee
were
so
,
because
he
is
a
School-master
,
therefore
not
to
be
beleeved
,
is
a
non
sequitur
.
And
another
witnesse
,
one
Loftus
,
speaks
to
the
words
,
though
not
in
the
same
manner
;
but
,
I
say
,
the
tenth
of
September
,
when
things
were
at
peace
and
rest
,
when
the
King
was
pleased
to
be
reconciled
to
them
by
that
pacification
,
what
boiled
in
his
breast
then
to
the
breaking
forth
of
such
expressions
,
I
know
not
,
unlesse
it
were
an
intention
to
be
an
Incendiary
.
My
Lords
,
I
must
say
and
affirme
,
and
he
hath
not
proved
it
to
the
contrary
,
that
all
this
while
(
I
am
confident
)
there
was
not
any
breach
of
the
pacification
on
either
side
,
and
it
lyes
on
his
part
to
prove
there
was
:
But
the
Parliament
of
Scotland
then
sitting
,
and
making
preparation
for
their
demands
in
pursuance
of
the
Articles
of
pacification
,
hee
,
comming
over
into
England
in
September
,
immediately
upon
the
pacification
,
answers
,
That
he
found
things
so
distracted
here
▪
that
it
was
fit
the
Scots
should
be
reduced
by
force
,
if
they
could
not
be
otherwise
:
yet
no
breach
appeares
,
no
war
was
denounced
,
there
was
no
intention
of
a
warre
:
But
see
what
harboured
in
his
breast
all
the
while
?
The
fourth
of
December
following
,
my
Lord
Traquaire
made
his
relation
to
the
Councell
of
the
Scots
proceedings
:
and
all
this
while
there
was
no
Demands
brought
by
the
Scots
themselves
,
nor
reason
of
their
Demands
brought
by
others
,
though
they
were
prepared
;
yet
you
have
heard
his
advice
was
for
an
offensive
warre
,
and
that
the
Demands
were
a
just
cause
of
the
war
.
And
though
he
pretends
hee
said
no
more
then
what
the
rest
of
the
Lords
of
the
Councell
concurred
with
him
in
,
I
will
joyne
in
issue
with
him
in
that
,
and
if
some
of
your
Lordships
be
not
satisfied
,
you
have
many
noble
Lords
among
you
,
from
whom
you
may
be
satisfied
that
it
is
not
so
;
I
am
sure
he
proves
it
not
.
It
is
true
,
in
the
proposition
of
the
Demands
some
of
the
Lords
of
the
Councell
did
say
,
that
these
Demands
hypothetically
,
if
the
Scots
did
not
give
satisfaction
by
their
reasons
,
were
a
just
cause
of
warre
;
but
not
any
Lord
of
the
Councell
was
of
opinion
,
that
the
very
Demands
,
positively
,
without
hearing
of
the
reasons
,
were
a
just
cause
of
warre
,
but
himselfe
;
and
I
beleeve
the
noble
Lords
of
the
Councell
their
Consciences
can
tell
them
,
and
I
beleeve
will
deliver
it
to
the
rest
of
the
Peeres
,
that
I
speake
truth
.
For
the
offensive
warre
he
pretends
a
concurrence
of
the
rest
,
but
it
was
disproved
;
many
were
for
it
upon
these
termes
,
if
they
did
not
give
reasons
,
and
shew
just
cause
for
their
Demands
;
and
many
were
against
an
offensive
warre
upon
any
terms
,
and
therefore
herein
he
fixes
that
upon
the
Lords
of
the
Councell
,
that
hee
cannot
make
good
.
All
this
while
his
intentions
are
discovered
by
a
matter
precedent
,
but
after
the
breach
he
discovers
his
anger
further
towards
the
Scottish
Nation
,
and
makes
it
his
designe
to
incense
the
King
to
this
warre
.
My
Lords
,
hee
is
not
at
an
end
yet
,
for
he
confesses
himselfe
that
hee
advised
the
King
to
call
a
Parliament
;
and
now
I
come
to
his
work
of
merit
,
but
it
was
to
his
destruction
,
and
serves
to
prove
this
Article
directly
;
for
to
what
purpose
was
this
Parliament
called
?
Exitus
acta
probat
;
it
was
no
sooner
set
,
but
within
three
weekes
a
proposition
is
made
for
supply
towards
a
warre
against
the
Scots
:
who
was
the
cause
of
calling
the
Parliament
?
himselfe
;
and
therefore
who
was
the
cause
of
this
proposition
but
himselfe
?
and
so
the
calling
of
the
Parliament
is
a
concurring
evidence
of
his
being
an
Incendiary
to
put
on
the
warre
;
and
it
shall
appeare
anon
absolutely
,
that
he
was
the
occasion
of
it
,
though
he
thinkes
there
be
no
proofe
of
it
.
Did
not
he
goe
over
into
Ireland
,
and
by
his
solicitation
there
,
Subsidies
were
granted
by
the
Parliament
,
onely
to
maintaine
this
warre
,
and
to
shew
their
ingagement
in
it
?
and
who
was
the
occasion
of
drawing
them
on
,
I
referre
to
your
Lordships
judgements
,
by
the
circumstances
precedent
.
Your
Lordships
heard
his
good
opinion
of
the
Scots
,
when
he
began
to
discourse
with
the
Citizens
touching
money
,
and
their
affording
of
the
King
supply
,
and
seising
the
mint
,
by
giving
them
no
better
expressions
than
Rebels
;
for
,
saith
he
,
you
are
more
forward
to
help
the
Rebels
,
than
to
pay
the
King
his
owne
:
I
know
not
who
hee
meant
,
but
certainly
the
Scots
were
in
his
thoughts
;
so
that
from
the
beginning
he
incensed
the
warre
against
them
:
first
,
hee
exclaimed
against
them
during
time
of
peace
.
He
alledges
in
his
answer
,
that
things
were
found
in
such
distraction
,
that
it
was
fit
the
Scots
should
be
reduced
by
force
▪
he
gave
advice
precipitately
without
hearing
the
reasons
,
and
not
concurrent
to
the
Councell
,
for
an
offensive
warre
;
and
putting
all
together
,
I
referre
it
to
your
Lordships
judgement
who
is
the
Incendiary
;
for
how
can
it
be
proved
more
cleerely
,
unlesse
it
should
appeare
under
his
hand
and
seale
,
proved
by
two
or
three
witnesses
?
Now
,
my
Lords
,
how
comes
this
to
be
his
designe
?
here
the
mystery
comes
to
be
unfolded
.
Having
thus
incensed
to
the
warre
,
and
ingaged
the
King
to
the
uttermost
,
and
having
a
Parliament
now
dissolved
without
supply
,
he
sets
up
an
Idol
of
his
owne
creation
,
as
a
means
to
draw
on
his
designe
,
and
that
was
necessity
;
necessity
is
it
that
must
enforce
the
King
:
what
to
doe
?
to
levie
money
,
to
use
his
Prerogative
,
to
raise
supplies
upon
his
subjects
without
their
consent
,
against
their
will
,
necessity
must
be
his
argument
,
and
this
warre
must
be
thē
occasion
of
that
necessity
,
and
without
that
he
cannot
suggest
to
the
Kings
eare
,
or
advise
this
necessity
,
till
this
bee
brought
to
passe
.
And
now
he
hath
brought
it
to
passe
,
he
began
in
the
one
and
twentieth
,
two
and
twentieth
,
and
three
and
twentieth
Article
,
to
perswade
the
King
▪
that
necessity
hath
surprized
him
,
by
the
Parliaments
deserting
of
him
;
that
the
Parliament
had
forsaken
the
King
,
in
denying
supply
,
and
having
tried
the
affections
of
his
people
,
hee
was
loose
,
and
absolved
from
all
rules
of
government
,
and
had
an
Army
in
Ireland
which
he
might
employ
,
to
reduce
this
Kingdome
.
That
he
spake
these
words
to
the
King
,
part
is
proved
by
two
concurrent
witnesses
,
that
is
,
that
having
tried
the
affections
of
his
people
,
he
was
now
loose
,
and
absolved
from
all
rules
of
government
;
which
words
are
proved
by
two
witnesses
of
eminent
quality
,
that
is
,
my
Lord
of
Northumberland
,
and
Sir
Henry
Vane
:
and
truly
,
howsoever
my
Lord
in
his
speech
pretends
,
that
the
most
materiall
words
are
proved
but
by
one
witnesse
(
it
seeming
that
hee
held
it
not
a
materiall
charge
,
that
he
counselled
the
King
that
he
was
absolved
from
all
rules
of
government
)
for
my
part
,
if
your
Lordships
be
satisfied
those
words
were
proved
,
I
could
willingly
satisfie
my
owne
Conscience
in
it
,
and
make
no
great
matter
to
quit
the
rest
;
for
I
know
not
how
he
could
expresse
it
in
higher
termes
,
then
that
the
King
was
absolved
from
rules
of
government
,
for
then
he
might
doe
what
he
would
.
It
is
true
,
the
latter
words
,
touching
the
Irish
Army
,
are
expresly
proved
but
by
one
witnesse
,
master
Secretary
Vane
;
but
are
fortified
againe
with
such
circumstances
as
make
up
more
then
one
,
yea
,
more
than
two
other
witnesses
,
if
your
Lordships
will
have
the
patience
to
have
it
represented
,
as
it
is
proved
.
For
howsoever
it
be
slighted
by
him
,
if
your
Lordships
will
call
to
mind
the
words
of
Sir
George
Radcliffe
,
his
bosome
friend
(
to
whom
he
had
contributed
without
question
his
advice
in
all
causes
)
the
said
Sir
George
Radcliffe
expressed
it
before
,
and
told
some
of
his
friends
(
supposing
that
he
never
should
be
called
in
question
,
and
that
the
power
of
my
Lord
of
Strafford
had
been
enough
to
protect
any
thing
he
had
done
,
and
out
of
the
aboundance
of
the
heart
his
mouth
spake
)
the
King
must
now
want
no
money
;
if
he
did
,
no body
would
pity
him
,
now
he
had
his
sword
in
his
hand
.
Sir
Robert
King
proves
it
so
.
My
Lord
Renula
discovered
the
smoake
of
the
fire
that
hee
had
just
cause
to
suspect
,
and
on
good
grounds
,
I
am
sure
;
and
if
the
Commons
of
England
had
not
just
cause
to
suspect
him
(
as
I
beleeve
he
is
convinced
they
had
good
cause
)
what
is
the
reason
this
suspition
should
bee
entertained
at
that
time
,
my
Lord
of
Strafford
being
not
then
questioned
for
it
?
and
yet
my
Lord
Renula
should
say
,
Shall
wee
turne
our
swords
upon
our
owne
bowels
?
shall
we
bring
this
Army
to
turne
the
points
of
our
blades
upon
that
Nation
from
whence
we
were
all
derived
?
and
that
was
before
any
conference
with
master
Secretary
Vane
.
Sir
William
Penniman
himselfe
,
his
owne
witnesse
and
friend
,
sayes
,
at
York
,
before
my
Lord
of
Strafford
was
questioned
,
that
there
was
a
common
fame
of
bringing
the
Army
into
England
,
and
there
is
something
in
that
surely
;
and
after
all
this
,
to
produce
one
witnesse
that
expresly
proves
the
very
words
spoken
in
terminis
,
as
they
bee
charged
,
if
your
Lordships
put
the
whole
together
,
see
whether
there
be
not
more
then
one
witnesse
.
And
,
under
favour
,
my
Lord
Cottington
,
if
you
call
to
mind
his
testimony
,
I
must
justifie
,
he
did
declare
,
that
he
heard
my
Lord
of
Strafford
tell
the
King
,
that
some
reparation
was
to
be
made
to
the
subjects
property
;
which
must
inferre
,
he
had
advised
an
invasion
upon
the
property
;
else
by
no
good
coherence
should
a
reparation
bee
made
.
And
that
he
testifies
this
,
I
must
affirme
,
and
most
here
will
affirme
it
;
and
I
think
your
Lordships
well
remember
it
:
and
that
is
an
addition
to
it
;
for
if
your
Lordships
cast
your
eye
upon
the
interrogatory
administred
to
my
Lord
Admirall
,
and
my
Lord
Cottington
,
that
very
question
is
asked
;
so
that
his
owne
Conscience
told
him
,
he
had
advised
something
to
invade
upon
the
people
,
when
he
advised
to
a
restitution
after
things
should
be
settled
:
and
so
I
referre
it
to
your
Lordships
consideration
,
whether
here
bee
not
more
then
one
witnesse
by
farre
.
It
is
true
,
he
makes
objections
to
lessen
this
testimony
;
first
,
that
this
Army
was
to
be
landed
at
Ayre
in
Scotland
,
and
not
here
;
and
this
was
declared
to
Sir
Thomas
Lucas
,
master
Slings
by
,
Sir
William
Penniman
,
and
others
.
Secondly
,
that
others
that
were
present
,
when
the
words
are
supposed
to
be
spoken
,
did
not
heare
any
such
words
.
For
the
first
:
perhaps
the
Army
might
be
originally
intended
for
Scotland
,
and
yet
this
is
no
contradiction
but
he
might
intend
it
afterwards
for
England
;
surely
this
is
no
Logick
,
that
because
it
was
intended
for
one
place
,
it
could
never
be
intended
for
another
place
;
so
his
allegarion
may
be
true
,
and
the
charge
stand
true
likewise
.
Beside
that
it
was
intended
orriginally
for
Scotland
,
what
proofe
makes
hee
?
Hee
told
severall
persons
of
the
designe
,
but
I
will
be
tryed
by
himselfe
,
he
told
some
,
it
was
for
Scotland
,
he
told
others
it
was
for
England
;
and
why
you
should
beleeve
his
telling
on
one
side
,
more
then
on
the
other
side
I
know
not
;
though
he
pretends
a
reason
of
his
severall
allegations
that
the
world
should
not
know
his
designe
,
but
if
you
will
not
beleeve
him
one
way
,
why
should
he
be
beleeved
the
other
way
?
and
if
not
the
other
way
,
why
the
first
way
?
For
the
second
,
severall
persons
were
present
when
the
words
were
spoken
touching
the
Irish
Armie
,
and
they
were
examined
,
and
remember
not
the
words
;
but
one
man
may
heare
,
though
twentie
doe
not
heare
;
and
this
is
no
contradiction
at
all
:
For
those
persons
whom
he
examined
,
the
Lord
Treasurer
,
Marquesse
Hambleton
,
my
Lord
Cottington
,
did
not
heare
the
words
that
are
proved
by
two
witnesses
,
concerning
the
Kings
being
loose
,
and
absolved
from
rules
of
government
:
and
if
they
did
not
heare
those
words
,
no
marvaile
they
did
not
heare
the
other
:
and
therefore
that
which
hee
himselfe
pretends
to
be
a
convincing
testimonie
,
is
nothing
at
all
;
so
that
his
objections
are
clearely
taken
away
,
and
the
single
testimonie
fortified
with
testimonies
that
make
above
one
witnesse
,
and
so
the
words
are
fully
proved
.
But
to
fortifie
the
whole
,
I
shall
handle
all
these
Articles
together
,
This
designe
to
subvert
the
Law
,
and
to
exercise
an
arbitrary
power
above
the
Law
in
this
kingdome
,
will
(
upon
the
proofes
putting
them
altogether
,
and
not
taking
them
in
pieces
as
my
Lord
of
Strafford
hath
done
)
appeare
to
have
been
harboured
in
his
thoughts
,
and
settled
in
his
heart
long
before
it
was
executed
.
You
see
what
his
Counsels
were
,
That
the
King
having
tryed
the
affections
of
his
people
,
was
loose
and
absolved
from
all
rules
of
government
,
and
might
doe
every
thing
that
power
would
admit
,
and
his
Majesties
had
tryed
all
wayes
,
and
was
refused
,
and
should
be
acquitted
of
God
and
man
,
and
had
an
army
in
Ireland
,
wherewith
if
hee
pleased
he
might
reduce
this
kingdome
:
so
there
must
be
a
triall
of
his
people
,
for
supply
that
is
denyed
,
which
must
be
interpreted
,
a
defection
by
refusall
,
and
this
refusall
must
give
advantage
of
necessity
,
and
this
necessity
must
be
an
advantage
to
use
his
Prerogative
against
the
rule
of
the
Law
,
and
consent
of
the
People
;
this
is
his
advice
.
which
shewes
that
this
very
thing
that
hapned
did
harbour
in
his
thoughts
long
before
the
breach
of
the
Parliament
,
and
the
occasion
of
the
Armie
.
Your
Lordships
have
heard
it
confessed
by
himselfe
,
That
before
this
last
advice
,
he
had
advised
the
calling
of
a
Parliament
:
to
the
Parliament
a
proposition
of
twelve
Subsidies
was
made
for
supply
,
and
(
which
may
be
spoken
with
great
assurance
)
before
they
had
consulted
,
or
given
any
resolution
to
that
proposition
,
the
Parliament
was
dissolved
,
upon
a
supposal
that
the
supply
was
denied
.
Now
that
this
was
predesigned
by
my
L.
of
Strafford
himselfe
,
I
beseech
you
observe
these
things
following
,
that
is
,
the
words
in
the
two
and
twentieth
Article
,
That
his
Majestie
was
first
to
try
the
Parliament
,
and
if
that
did
not
supply
him
,
then
he
would
serve
the
King
any
other
way
.
His
words
are
proved
by
Mr.
Treasurer
,
That
if
the
Parliament
supplyed
him
not
,
hee
would
serve
him
any
other
way
;
and
this
is
before
the
Parliament
set
:
now
if
your
Lordships
heare
the
proofes
of
my
Lord
Primate
(
which
my
Lord
of
Strafford
slights
taking
it
singly
)
My
Lord
Primate
before
the
Parliament
was
called
,
when
my
Lord
of
Strafford
was
in
Ireland
,
and
not
yet
come
into
this
kingdome
,
testifies
,
my
Lords
,
saying
,
That
if
the
Parliament
will
not
supply
his
Majestie
,
the
King
was
acquitted
before
God
and
Man
,
if
hee
tooke
some
other
course
to
supply
himselfe
,
though
against
the
will
of
the
Subjects
.
I
beseech
your
Lordships
observe
how
he
prophecies
these
things
must
come
to
passe
,
and
advised
them
accordingly
.
My
Lord
Conway
testifies
,
that
before
the
Parliament
sate
,
my
Lord
of
Strafford
said
,
that
if
the
Parliament
would
not
supply
his
Majestie
,
the
King
was
acquitted
before
God
and
Man
,
if
hee
tooke
another
course
to
supply
himselfe
,
though
it
were
against
the
will
of
the
subject
,
and
he
doubts
not
but
the
Parliament
would
give
,
what
?
twelve
Subsidies
:
and
your
Lordships
very
well
remember
,
twelve
were
propounded
;
but
I
beseech
you
observe
the
coherence
of
all
:
the
Parliament
must
be
called
,
they
must
be
tryed
,
if
they
deny
there
is
necessity
,
and
this
necessity
is
a
warrant
for
the
King
to
proceed
;
so
that
my
Lord
of
Strafford
must
be
judged
to
be
either
a
Prophet
,
or
to
have
this
designe
before
hand
in
his
thoughts
.
Now
the
Parliament
being
broken
before
answer
to
the
demand
given
,
he
vents
his
counsell
in
the
three
and
twentieth
Article
,
and
how
far
it
is
proved
your
Lordships
have
heard
.
Now
comes
the
Bullion
to
be
seized
,
the
Copper
money
to
be
advised
,
and
now
comes
he
to
tell
the
King
that
the
Aldermen
of
London
must
be
put
to
fine
,
and
ransome
,
and
laid
by
the
heeles
,
and
no
good
would
be
done
till
some
of
them
bee
hanged
,
so
you
heare
his
advice
;
I
beseech
your
Lordships
observe
what
successe
this
advice
tooke
;
foure
Aldermen
were
instantly
committed
,
and
then
the
Councell
of
the
three
and
twentieth
Article
is
fomented
.
First
,
he
foments
the
warre
,
then
there
is
a
necessitie
,
the
defection
of
the
Parliament
must
set
the
King
loose
from
rules
of
government
,
and
now
see
whether
the
occasion
of
the
warre
,
the
calling
of
the
Parliament
,
the
dissolving
of
it
,
be
not
adequate
to
what
he
propounded
to
himselfe
,
namely
,
to
set
up
an
arbitrary
government
.
Your
Lordships
remember
how
fresh
my
Lord
of
Bristowes
memorie
is
,
touching
my
Lord
of
Straffords
opinion
upon
the
dissolution
of
the
Parliament
,
how
he
declared
unto
my
Lord
of
Bristow
instantly
within
three
or
fower
dayes
after
,
That
the
King
was
not
to
be
mastered
by
the
frowardnesse
of
his
people
,
or
rather
of
some
particular
persons
;
and
your
Lordships
remember
Sir
George
Wentworths
words
spoken
the
very
day
of
dissolving
the
Parliament
:
which
may
be
very
well
applyed
as
a
concurrent
proof
to
his
intentions
of
bringing
the
Army
into
England
.
He
was
my
Lords
owne
brother
,
that
knew
much
of
his
Councell
,
and
his
words
are
,
That
the
English
Nation
would
never
be
well
,
till
they
were
conquered
over
againe
.
So
my
Lords
put
all
together
,
if
he
declared
his
owne
intentions
,
if
actions
,
in
executing
of
this
tyrannicall
,
and
arbitrary
power
,
if
Counsels
of
as
dangerous
consequence
,
in
as
high
a
strain
as
can
be
,
be
not
a
sufficient
evidence
to
prove
an
intention
,
and
desire
,
to
subvert
the
Law
,
I
know
not
what
can
prove
such
an
Interpretation
:
and
now
I
referre
it
to
your
Lordships
judgements
,
whether
here
be
not
a
good
proofe
of
the
Article
laid
to
his
charge
.
My
Lord
in
the
seven
and
twentieth
Article
hee
is
charged
with
levying
of
warre
upon
the
Kings
people
,
by
forcing
them
in
Yorkshire
to
pay
money
:
to
prove
they
were
so
forced
,
you
have
heard
by
two
witnesses
,
that
Sergeant
Major
Yaworth
,
by
Musketeers
,
fower
together
in
the
towne
,
and
one
by
one
out
of
the
towne
,
did
compell
them
to
pay
the
fortnights
contribution
,
else
they
were
to
serve
in
person
:
That
hee
did
this
by
warrant
is
likewise
confessed
by
Sir
William
Penyman
;
and
whether
this
were
an
authoritie
derived
from
,
or
commanded
by
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
that
is
the
question
;
and
,
my
Lords
,
it
is
plainly
proved
,
that
it
was
commanded
by
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
for
Sr.
William
Penyman
himselfe
being
examined
,
alledged
that
the
warrant
was
made
in
pursuance
of
the
relation
,
and
direction
made
by
my
Lord
of
Strafford
.
Your
Lordships
heard
what
my
Lord
of
Strafford
did
say
before
hand
,
as
is
proved
by
two
witnesses
,
(
Sir
William
Ingram
and
Mr.
Cholmeley
)
that
this
money
should
be
paid
,
or
levied
on
the
subjects
goods
;
Then
his
declaration
to
Sir
William
Penyman
,
(
in
pursuance
of
which
he
made
his
warrant
)
That
it
was
the
assent
of
the
Lords
of
the
great
Councell
,
that
this
money
should
be
levied
;
and
taking
all
together
,
whether
it
fixes
it
not
upon
him
to
be
the
authour
and
instrument
,
it
rests
in
your
judgements
in
point
of
fact
:
and
so
I
suppose
the
seven
and
twentieth
Article
rests
on
him
,
and
so
I
shall
conclude
the
evidence
produced
on
the
behalfe
of
the
Commons
.
And
now
give
me
leave
to
put
your
Lordships
in
mind
of
some
evidences
offered
by
my
Lord
of
Strafford
himselfe
in
his
answer
,
and
in
the
passages
of
his
defence
,
for
his
clearing
and
justification
,
but
tending
directly
to
his
condemnation
.
I
will
enter
upon
some
passages
he
mentioned
to
day
,
and
often
before
▪
When
he
is
charged
with
invading
the
estates
of
the
Peeres
of
the
kingdome
of
Ireland
,
and
determining
them
,
upon
paper
petitions
in
an
arbitrary
way
▪
your
Lordships
have
heard
him
speake
it
before
,
and
repeat
it
this
day
,
that
he
did
it
out
of
compassion
for
the
more
expeditious
proceeding
on
behalfe
of
the
poore
,
against
these
mighty
▪
But
then
,
my
Lords
,
I
beseech
you
compare
some
other
part
of
his
proceedings
.
Your
Lordships
remember
the
businesse
of
the
Flax
,
which
concernes
the
poore
wholly
and
universally
;
and
if
compassion
had
beene
the
rule
and
direction
of
his
actions
towards
the
poore
▪
surely
this
would
have
beene
a
just
cause
to
have
commiserated
them
in
this
case
;
but
hee
exercised
his
power
over
them
,
and
over
them
wholly
,
and
over
them
universally
:
and
therefore
it
shewes
,
it
is
not
his
compassion
to
the
poore
,
nor
respect
to
the
rich
,
or
mighty
,
that
will
any
way
restraine
or
obstruct
his
wayes
,
to
his
owne
will
.
And
therefore
you
may
see
what
truth
there
is
in
his
answer
,
by
comparing
one
part
of
the
charge
with
another
,
when
the
businesse
of
the
Flax
brought
that
calamity
upon
the
Kings
Subjects
,
that
thousands
of
them
perished
for
lacke
of
bread
,
and
dyed
in
ditches
.
Secondly
,
your
Lordships
have
often
heard
him
use
a
Rhetoricall
insinuation
,
wondering
that
he
should
be
charged
with
words
,
and
they
strained
so
high
as
to
be
made
treason
,
to
question
his
life
,
and
posterity
,
though
the
words
might
be
spoken
unadvisedly
,
or
in
discourse
,
or
by
chance
:
your
Lordships
remember
the
fifth
Article
touching
his
proceedings
against
my
Lord
Mount-Norris
where
words
were
spoken
in
an
ordinary
discourse
at
dinner
,
and
slight
ones
,
God
knowes
,
of
no
consequence
at
all
,
such
as
another
man
would
scarce
have
harkened
after
,
and
yet
my
Lord
extends
them
to
the
taking
away
of
my
Lord
Mount-Norris
his
life
;
gets
a
sentence
of
death
against
him
,
and
that
against
Law
,
with
a
high
hand
,
in
such
a
manner
,
as
I
thinke
your
Lordships
have
not
heard
the
like
;
and
therefore
,
I
beseech
you
,
compare
one
part
of
his
answer
with
another
,
and
see
how
ready
he
is
to
make
use
of
any
thing
that
may
excuse
himselfe
;
and
yet
when
he
comes
to
act
his
power
,
you
see
his
exercise
of
it
.
You
have
heard
how
hee
magnifies
his
zeale
for
advancing
the
Kings
benefit
,
&
revennue
,
and
his
care
of
his
service
,
and
would
shelter
and
protect
himselfe
under
it
,
to
justifie
an
exorbitant
action
▪
but
if
your
Lordships
call
to
mind
the
businesse
of
Customes
for
Tobacco
,
(
which
in
truth
were
the
Kings
right
and
due
,
and
a
great
profit
was
thereby
advanced
;
and
he
trusted
to
advance
it
.
)
The
King
must
loose
of
his
former
rents
in
the
case
of
Custome
,
and
received
a
small
rent
in
the
case
of
Tobacco
,
my
Lord
himselfe
in
the
meane
time
imbursing
such
vast
summes
of
money
:
where
is
then
the
discharge
of
his
trust
?
where
is
his
care
to
advance
the
Kings
rents
▪
to
encrease
his
revennue
?
Compare
that
part
of
his
answer
with
this
,
and
see
what
credit
is
to
be
given
to
his
affirmation
.
My
Lords
,
throughout
the
passages
of
his
discourse
he
insinuates
,
(
and
never
more
then
this
day
)
with
the
Peeres
of
the
Realme
,
magnifying
them
almost
to
Idolatrie
;
and
yet
my
Lords
,
when
he
was
in
his
kingdome
,
in
Ireland
,
and
had
power
over
them
,
what
respect
shewed
he
then
to
the
Peeres
of
the
kingdome
,
when
he
judged
some
to
death
,
trampled
upon
others
in
misery
,
committed
them
to
prison
and
seized
on
their
estates
;
where
then
was
the
Peerage
he
now
magnifies
?
And
to
shew
it
was
an
insinuation
for
his
owne
advantage
,
you
may
remember
,
when
there
was
an
unlawfull
Act
to
be
committed
,
that
is
,
the
levying
of
money
in
the
North
,
what
regard
had
he
then
to
the
Peeres
of
the
kingdome
,
when
hee
comes
to
justifie
and
boulster
up
high
treason
it selfe
,
under
the
name
and
authoritie
of
the
great
Councell
,
where
most
of
the
Peers
of
the
Realm
then
were
?
and
so
by
this
time
I
know
what
credit
your
Lordships
give
to
his
words
spoken
,
when
he
lyes
under
your
mercy
,
and
power
:
But
what
doe
I
speake
of
the
Peers
of
the
kingdome
,
and
his
using
of
them
?
My
Lords
,
he
spared
not
his
Soveraigne
,
his
Majestie
in
his
whole
defence
;
for
being
charged
with
offences
of
a
high
nature
,
hee
justifies
those
offences
under
the
pretence
,
and
under
the
authoritie
of
his
Majestie
,
our
gracious
King
and
Soveraigne
,
even
murder
it selfe
,
in
the
case
of
Denwit
,
and
my
Lord
Mountnorris
.
Treason
it selfe
,
in
the
fifteenth
Article
by
a
command
in
Ireland
,
and
in
the
seven
and
twentieth
,
by
a
pretended
authoritie
from
his
Majestie
in
the
face
of
his
people
;
hee
justifies
my
Lord
Mountnorrice
his
sentence
by
a
letter
from
his
Majestie
,
Denwits
sentence
by
a
Commission
from
his
Majestie
,
and
hee
read
three
or
fower
clauses
to
that
purpose
.
My
Lords
,
my
Lord
of
Strafford
doth
very
well
know
(
and
if
he
doth
not
know
it
,
I
have
a
witnesse
to
produce
against
him
,
which
I
wil
not
examine
,
but
refer
it
to
his
owne
Conscience
,
that
is
,
the
petition
of
right
;
)
that
the
Kings
servants
are
to
serve
him
according
to
law
,
and
no
otherwise
:
he
very
well
knew
if
an
unlawfull
act
be
committed
,
specially
to
a
degree
of
Treason
and
Murder
,
the
Kings
authority
and
warrant
produced
,
is
no
justification
at
all
.
So
then
,
my
Lords
,
to
mention
the
Kings
name
,
to
justifie
an
unlawfull
act
in
that
way
,
can
doe
him
no
good
;
and
his
owne
understanding
knowes
,
it
may
doe
the
King
harme
,
if
wee
had
not
so
gracious
a
King
,
that
no
such
thing
can
doe
harme
unto
.
But
,
my
Lords
,
to
produce
the
Kings
warrant
to
justifie
his
actions
under
his
Patent
and
Command
,
what
is
it
else
,
but
so
farre
as
in
him
lies
,
in
the
face
of
his
people
,
to
raise
a
cloud
,
and
exhale
a
vapour
?
to
interpose
betwixt
the
King
and
his
subjects
?
whereby
the
splendour
of
his
glory
and
justice
cannot
bee
discovered
to
his
people
.
My
Lords
,
what
is
it
else
,
when
the
people
make
complaint
against
the
Ministers
(
that
should
execute
justice
)
of
their
oppression
,
and
slavery
,
and
bondage
?
For
the
Minister
,
when
he
is
questioned
,
to
justifie
this
under
the
Kings
authority
,
what
is
it
,
I
say
,
but
,
as
much
as
in
that
Minister
lies
,
to
fix
this
offence
,
to
fasten
this
oppression
upon
the
King
himself
,
to
make
it
to
be
beleeved
,
that
the
occasion
of
these
their
groanes
proceeded
from
his
sacred
Majestie
?
yet
God
be
thanked
the
strength
of
that
Sunne
is
powerfull
enough
to
dispell
these
vapours
,
and
to
disperse
the
cloud
that
hee
would
have
raised
;
but
in
the
meane
time
my
Lord
is
nothing
to
bee
excused
.
My
Lords
,
he
may
pretend
zeale
to
the
Kings
service
,
and
affection
to
his
honour
,
but
give
me
leave
not
to
beleeve
it
,
since
,
when
he
is
questioned
by
all
the
Kings
people
,
and
in
the
face
of
his
people
,
and
offences
laid
to
his
charge
,
which
himselfe
now
confesses
to
be
against
law
;
he
should
justifie
it
under
the
Kings
authority
;
that
savours
not
of
a
good
servant
:
I
will
say
no
more
.
My
Lords
,
he
is
charged
with
exercising
of
a
tyrannicall
power
over
the
Kings
people
,
and
in
his
defence
your
Lordsh●ps
have
often
heard
(
and
I
may
not
omit
it
)
that
he
shelters
himself
under
the
protection
of
the
Kings
Prerogative
,
though
he
be
charged
with
tyranny
of
the
highest
nature
that
may
be
:
see
then
how
foule
and
malignant
an
aspect
this
hath
.
My
Lords
,
what
is
it
else
,
but
to
endeavour
,
as
much
as
in
him
lies
,
to
infuse
into
the
Kings
heart
an
apprehension
,
that
his
Prerogative
is
so
bottomlesse
a
gulfe
,
so
unlimited
a
power
,
as
is
not
to
be
comprehended
within
the
rules
of
law
,
or
within
the
bounds
of
government
?
for
else
why
should
he
mention
the
Prerogative
,
when
he
is
charged
to
exceed
the
law
?
What
is
it
else
,
but
,
as
farre
as
in
him
lyes
,
to
make
the
people
beleeve
(
for
I
may
not
forget
the
words
hee
hath
used
)
by
his
magnifying
of
the
Prerogative
,
that
it
hath
a
speciall
stamp
of
Divinity
on
it
,
and
that
the
other
part
of
the
government
that
God
pleases
to
put
into
the
Kings
hands
,
had
not
that
stamp
upon
it
?
as
if
anything
done
by
one
,
was
to
be
justified
by
authority
derived
from
heaven
,
but
the
other
not
.
These
expressions
your
Lordships
remember
;
and
I
may
not
omit
to
put
your
Lordships
in
mind
of
them
;
and
I
can
expound
them
no
otherwise
,
then
,
as
much
as
in
him
lies
,
to
make
the
subject
beleeve
and
apprehend
that
which
is
the
buckler
and
defence
of
his
protection
,
to
be
the
two
edged
sword
of
his
destruction
,
according
to
the
doctrine
he
preached
;
and
that
that
which
is
the
Sanctuary
of
their
liberty
,
is
the
snare
and
engine
of
their
slavery
.
And
thus
he
hath
cast
a
bone
of
contention
,
as
much
as
in
him
lay
,
betwixt
King
and
people
,
to
make
the
subjects
loath
that
glorious
flower
of
his
Crowne
,
by
fixing
a
jealousie
in
them
,
that
it
may
bee
a
meanes
of
their
bondage
and
slavery
.
But
there
is
so
much
piety
and
goodnesse
in
the
Kings
heart
,
that
I
hope
,
upon
faire
understanding
,
there
will
be
no
such
occasion
;
but
no
thankes
to
the
party
,
that
so
much
adva●●ed
the
prerogative
in
the
case
and
condition
he
stands
in
,
to
justifie
that
which
is
laid
to
his
charge
of
high
treason
.
My
Lords
,
I
beseech
you
give
me
leave
;
there
is
no
greater
safety
to
Kings
and
people
,
then
to
have
the
throne
incircled
with
good
Counsellers
;
and
no
greater
danger
to
both
,
then
to
have
it
encompassed
with
wicked
and
dangerous
ones
;
and
yet
I
beseech
you
call
to
mind
how
hee
hath
attempted
to
deprive
the
subject
of
all
meanes
to
discover
this
danger
,
by
insinuating
to
your
Lordships
,
what
a
dangerous
thing
it
were
,
if
Counsellers
should
be
called
in
question
for
giving
of
counsell
;
for
who
then
(
saith
he
)
would
be
a
Counseller
?
where
is
your
safeguard
?
where
is
the
Kings
service
?
Is
not
this
,
as
much
as
in
him
lies
,
to
deprive
the
people
of
the
means
whereby
they
must
make
themselves
happy
,
and
whereby
the
King
must
be
happy
,
that
is
,
by
his
having
good
Councellours
about
him
?
and
yet
he
infuses
that
venome
,
that
the
questioning
of
Counsellours
is
dangerous
both
to
King
and
Peeres
,
if
it
should
be
brought
into
example
.
My
Lords
,
for
many
yeeres
by
past
,
your
Lordships
know
an
evill
spirit
hath
moved
amongst
us
,
which
in
truth
hath
been
made
the
author
and
ground
of
all
our
distractions
,
and
that
is
necessity
and
danger
:
this
was
the
bulwarke
,
and
the
battery
that
serves
to
defend
all
exorbitant
actions
:
the
ground
and
foundation
of
that
great
invasion
of
our
liberties
and
estates
,
the
judgement
in
the
ship
money
,
and
the
ground
of
the
counsell
given
of
late
to
doe
any
thing
,
and
to
perswade
the
King
that
he
was
absolved
from
all
rules
of
government
;
and
yet
your
Lordships
have
observed
in
the
course
of
his
defence
,
how
often
he
hath
raised
this
spirit
,
that
God
be
thanked
hath
beene
laid
,
to
the
great
comfort
of
King
and
Kingdome
,
by
your
Lordships
,
and
all
the
Commons
in
Parliament
.
And
when
he
stands
under
this
question
,
and
goes
about
to
justifie
his
exorbitant
actions
,
how
often
hath
he
created
this
Idol
againe
?
and
therefore
I
am
affraid
he
discovers
too
much
his
owne
heart
in
it
.
My
Lor
:
I
may
not
omit
some
other
passages
in
his
defence
,
how
he
hath
cast
scandalls
upon
three
Nations
in
this
place
;
that
is
,
in
his
first
day
of
defence
,
when
the
Irish
Remonstrance
,
made
by
all
the
Commons
of
Ireland
,
was
produced
by
the
Commons
of
England
;
he
expressed
in
a
passion
,
that
things
were
carried
against
him
by
faction
and
correspondence
,
and
(
if
hee
had
time
he
would
make
it
appeare
)
with
a
strong
conspiracy
.
Here
is
a
scandall
cast
upon
the
Parliament
of
Ireland
with
a
reflection
on
the
Commons
of
England
;
howsoever
,
it
is
true
your
Lordships
may
remember
the
recantation
he
made
that
day
,
which
I
will
not
omit
,
desiring
not
to
lay
any
thing
to
his
charge
but
what
is
true
;
but
it
is
the
reflection
of
a
scandall
that
I
cannot
omit
to
put
your
Lordships
in
mind
of
;
and
the
rather
,
because
this
Remonstrance
,
presented
from
the
Parliament
of
Ireland
,
did
beare
date
before
my
Lord
of
Strafford
was
charged
here
,
which
is
very
remarkable
,
viz.
the
seventh
of
November
;
and
therefore
,
though
he
pretends
a
correspondence
,
certainly
there
could
be
none
then
,
for
he
is
not
charged
here
til
the
tenth
.
And
the
same
day
,
justifying
a
sentence
in
the
Castle
Chamber
,
your
Lordships
remember
he
affirmed
,
that
unlesse
a
strict
hand
were
kept
upon
the
Nation
there
,
they
would
find
it
hard
to
prevent
perjury
,
one
of
the
most
crying
sinnes
in
Ireland
.
Now
to
lay
an
aspersion
upon
the
subjects
of
Ireland
,
being
under
the
government
of
the
same
King
with
us
,
how
fit
this
is
to
be
done
by
a
man
in
that
condition
that
my
Lord
of
Strafford
is
,
I
referre
to
your
consideration
.
Another
passage
I
remember
,
whereby
in
his
defence
he
fell
upon
that
Nation
;
in
answer
of
which
I
may
not
omit
to
do
the
service
I
owe
to
the
Commons
for
whom
I
am
trusted
,
and
that
is
,
that
talking
of
an
arbitrary
and
tyrannicall
government
,
in
reference
to
some
Orders
of
the
Commons
House
in
Ireland
,
hee
used
words
to
this
purpose
:
You
talk
of
an
Arbitrary
government
,
looke
upon
these
Orders
,
here
is
an
Arbitrary
government
:
and
yet
when
he
produced
the
Orders
,
they
appeared
to
have
so
much
justice
and
discretion
in
them
,
that
he
can
lay
nothing
to
the
charge
of
them
,
though
in
a
passion
he
is
not
backward
to
asperse
them
.
My
Lords
,
if
this
Lyon
(
to
use
his
own
language
)
now
that
hee
is
chained
and
muzzled
under
the
restraint
and
question
of
high
Treason
,
will
here
take
the
boldnesse
to
vent
this
language
,
and
expresse
this
malignity
,
how
would
he
doe
if
he
were
unchained
?
how
would
he
devoure
?
how
would
he
destroy
?
&c.
My
Lords
,
something
concernes
your
Lordships
;
your
Lordships
remember
that
hee
was
not
backward
in
his
owne
answer
,
to
fix
a
charge
of
high
Treason
upon
the
Lords
of
the
great
Councell
;
and
howsoever
,
hee
hath
affirmed
this
day
,
I
must
open
it
againe
,
that
the
charge
of
the
seven
and
twentieth
Article
he
fixes
in
his
answer
to
be
by
consent
of
the
Lords
of
the
great
Councell
,
though
he
hath
since
recanted
it
;
and
yet
you
have
heard
him
alledge
,
that
he
will
stand
and
fall
by
the
truth
of
his
answer
.
My
Lords
,
I
am
now
at
an
end
.
You
have
my
Lord
of
Strafford
here
questioned
for
high
Treason
,
for
going
about
to
subvert
the
fundamentall
lawes
of
both
Kingdomes
,
in
defence
whereof
your
noble
Ancestors
spent
their
lives
and
bloods
.
My
Lords
,
you
are
the
sonnes
of
those
fathers
,
and
the
same
blood
runs
in
your
veines
,
that
did
in
theirs
;
and
I
am
confident
you
will
not
think
him
fit
to
live
,
that
goes
about
to
destroy
that
which
protects
your
lives
,
and
preserves
your
estates
and
liberties
.
My
Lords
you
have
the
complaints
of
three
kingdomes
presented
before
you
against
this
great
person
;
whereby
you
Lordships
perceive
that
a
great
storme
of
distemper
and
distraction
hath
been
raised
,
that
threatens
the
ruine
and
distraction
of
them
all
.
The
Commons
,
with
much
paines
and
diligence
,
and
to
their
great
expence
,
have
discoved
the
Jonas
,
that
is
,
the
occasion
of
this
tempest
.
They
have
still
and
will
discharge
their
Consciences
,
(
as
much
as
in
them
lyes
)
to
cast
him
out
of
the
Ship
,
and
allay
this
Tempest
.
They
expect
and
are
confident
your
Lordships
will
perfect
the
worke
,
and
that
with
expedition
,
lest
with
the
continuance
of
the
storme
,
both
Ship
,
and
Tackling
,
and
Mariners
,
both
Church
and
Common-wealth
bee
ruined
and
destroyed
:
The
danger
and
horrour
of
this
storme
,
your
Lordships
shall
heare
by
the
Gentleman
that
is
next
to
speake
.
