A
SEASONABLE
SPEECH
MADE
TO
THE
LORD
MAIOR
AND
Common
Councel
of
London
,
by
Mr.
Harvey
,
being
accompanied
thither
with
many
Citizens
of
Qualitie
.
Concerning
the
great
Distempers
of
the
times
.
LONDON
,
Printed
in
the
yeare
1642.
My
Lord
,
WEe
are
all
come
with
one
Errand
consisting
of
two
parts
;
First
,
a
discharge
of
our
duties
,
Secondly
,
the
endevour
of
our
safety
.
The
discharge
of
our
dutie
lyeth
in
acquainting
your
Honour
,
and
your
Worships
,
with
the
causes
of
our
feares
,
perplexities
and
dangers
,
with
which
we
are
environed
,
which
arise
from
divers
particulars
.
My
Lord
,
lest
any
here
should
judge
our
feares
to
be
groundlesse
,
and
but
fancies
,
give
me
leave
to
premise
,
That
as
his
Majestie
is
the
head
of
this
Kingdome
,
and
our
prayer
,
with
all
loyall
Subjects
,
is
,
and
ever
shall
bee
,
that
his
Highnesse
may
long
,
and
happily
continue
so
to
be
:
So
the
two
eyes
in
the
head
,
are
the
two
Houses
of
Parliament
,
the
house
of
Lords
,
and
house
of
Commons
.
My
Lord
,
Naturallists
tell
us
,
that
although
the
act
and
office
of
both
eyes
be
one
and
the
same
,
yet
each
hath
his
particular
and
peculiar
distribution
of
light
and
knowledge
to
the
faculties
,
as
appeares
,
in
that
the
soule
receiveth
light
and
knowledge
by
one
eye
,
when
the
other
is
fast
shut
,
or
wincketh
.
My
Lord
,
if
one
eye
winck
,
yet
the
eye
of
the
house
of
Commons
is
wide
open
,
it
seeth
cleerely
,
and
by
that
eye
only
the
Commons
of
England
,
which
are
not
starke
blind
,
may
receive
knowledge
of
and
discerne
their
dangers
.
My
Lord
,
the
Honourable
house
of
Commons
unto
all
their
actions
lay
the
line
of
Iudgement
,
and
the
plummet
of
prudence
,
and
they
have
seene
,
and
we
by
them
,
our
dangers
,
at
a
distance
,
and
in
the
approaches
,
with
the
many
good
provisions
for
our
safety
which
that
honourable
Assembly
have
resolved
upon
.
As
1.
First
,
that
the
Kingdome
should
bee
put
into
a
warlike
posture
of
defence
.
2.
That
a
Navy
of
ships
should
be
at
Sea
,
to
surround
our
Coasts
,
and
to
hinder
the
invasion
of
a
Forraigne
enemy
.
3.
That
the
Castles
and
Cinqueports
and
other
Maritine
ports
should
be
repaired
,
&
put
into
the
custody
of
persons
of
honour
&
trust
,
deputed
thereunto
by
the
Authority
of
the
King
,
to
them
conveyed
by
an
order
of
both
houses
of
Parliament
:
all
which
the
house
of
Cōmons
would
not
have
done
upon
fancies
,
they
being
most
studious
how
to
settle
and
compose
,
not
to
affright
,
charge
,
or
distract
,
the
people
of
this
Kingdome
.
4.
That
Sir
Iohn
Biron
the
now
Leivtenant
of
the
Tower
is
an
unfit
man
to
be
Cōmander
of
that
Cittadell
which
hath
so
great
a
command
of
this
City
.
And
surely
,
my
Lord
,
it
appeareth
by
the
Merchants
Petition
,
that
his
being
Lievtenant
much
hindereth
Trade
,
for
those
Merchants
that
formerly
did
Mynt
or
put
to
coyning
are
now
deterred
,
both
from
importing
,
or
coining
of
Bullion
.
My
Lord
,
we
sensibly
feele
the
smart
of
Trades
decay
.
Who
seeth
not
the
whole
Fabrick
of
the
City
and
Kingdome
,
whose
foundation
is
Trade
and
Commerce
,
much
shaken
,
and
,
if
not
speedily
repaired
,
like
to
bury
it selfe
in
its
owne
ruine
?
My
Lord
,
Trade
is
like
a
clock
,
if
one
pinne
or
wheele
be
out
of
order
,
the
whole
stands
still
,
or
moves
disorderly
.
And
now
my
Lord
,
give
me
the
liberty
of
an
Oratour
,
although
I
bee
none
,
to
end
,
and
close
with
the
highest
.
My
Lord
,
the
hous
of
Cōmons
have
long
since
resolv'd
,
that
considerable
forces
from
England
,
and
10000.
men
from
Scotland
,
should
be
sent
for
Ireland
,
to
relieve
that
poore
gasping
Nation
,
against
those
bloody
popish
Rebels
,
who
most
cruelly
and
barbarously
Butcher-like
murder
and
make
desolate
that
Nation
.
The
knowledge
of
all
which
resolutions
by
the
house
of
Commons
hath
beene
communicated
to
the
Honourable
house
of
Lords
;
but
there
all
still
dwels
while
Ireland
and
we
in
it
bleed
on
to
death
.
My
Lord
,
give
me
leave
to
soare
a
littl●
higher
;
can
any
History
relate
so
sad
a
story
,
as
that
a
Kingdome
involved
with
others
under
one
Crowne
,
all
holding
one
faith
and
profession
in
Religion
,
was
laid
waste
by
an
inconsiderable
party
,
as
are
those
bloudy
Rebels
,
compared
with
the
strength
that
England
and
Scotland
might
afford
them
:
and
the
desolation
not
made
all
at
once
,
but
gradually
,
in
three
moneths
space
of
time
30000.
persons
slaine
,
100000.
Families
undone
,
and
utterly
ruined
,
and
an
innumerable
company
that
have
tasted
of
lifes
sweetnesse
,
meerely
upon
that
consideration
,
turned
to
the
popish
partie
,
and
none
or
no
considerable
forces
to
controll
that
bloody
enemy
dispatcht
?
and
yet
all
this
may
be
truely
predicated
of
England
and
Scotland
,
in
reference
to
Ireland
.
And
this
day
,
my
Lord
,
newes
is
come
from
Ireland
,
telling
us
that
Waterford
,
and
the
County
of
Munster
,
is
revolted
.
Who
is
not
secure
may
see
cruelty
upon
the
legs
of
fury
comming
in
a
Iehu
march
towards
us
.
If
any
be
as
fast
asleep
as
was
Peter
,
let
him
awake
,
it
's
now
a
time
for
Peters
prayer
to
be
made
use
of
,
there
is
now
no
time
for
neutralitie
or
indifferency
,
it
befits
all
to
be
positive
,
and
let
none
think
that
if
that
flame
which
burneth
Ireland
,
an
already
sore
scorcheth
us
,
be
not
presently
quenched
,
but
that
it
will
totally
devoure
us
also
.
And
now
,
my
Lord
,
we
are
come
to
the
second
part
of
our
Errand
,
namely
to
endeavour
our
safety
,
for
which
we
fight
with
the
all-ages-allowed
weapons
,
our
supplications
,
and
in
all
humble
manner
pray
your
Honour
,
and
right
Worshipfull
you
the
Aldermen
,
and
the
rest
of
this
Assembly
,
to
be
pleased
to
joyne
together
,
heartily
,
effectually
,
and
speedily
,
to
petition
the
honourable
house
of
Lords
,
that
the
Kingdome
may
be
put
into
a
warlike
posture
of
defence
,
and
chiefly
that
to
Ireland
may
be
sent
speedy
and
sufficient
aide
,
and
that
the
fore-named
,
or
what
other
resolution
of
the
house
of
Commons
tending
to
Englands
safety
or
Irelands
succour
,
and
lye
obstructed
in
the
House
of
Lords
,
may
be
thence
discharged
,
and
have
life
given
unto
them
by
execution
,
and
use
,
as
may
tend
to
the
restauration
and
peace
of
the
Kingdomes
.
