His
Maiesties
Speech
:
With
Mr.
SPEAKERS
Speech
,
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
;
At
the
passing
of
the
Bill
for
Tonnage
and
Poundage
:
Being
an
Answer
to
Mr.
SPEAKERS
Speech
at
the
presenting
thereof
,
22.
June
1641.
THat
policy
,
most
gracious
and
dread
Soveraigne
,
which
weighs
the
Prerogative
of
the
King
and
property
of
the
Subject
in
the
same
Scales
,
and
increases
the
plenty
of
the
Crowne
and
government
of
the
people
;
the
even
poysing
of
this
Beame
enables
both
,
the
one
being
ordained
for
the
preservation
of
the
other
.
This
principle
is
so
riveted
into
the
hearts
of
your
Subjects
by
the
acts
of
their
Ancestors
,
and
traditions
of
their
fore-fathers
,
that
it
hath
created
a
beliefe
in
them
,
that
their
wills
are
bound
to
a
due
allegiance
,
and
their
fortunes
and
estates
,
as
well
as
their
duty
and
subjection
,
must
bend
to
the
commands
of
that
Soveraigne
power
with
which
God
hath
invested
your
sacred
Majesty
.
Compulsary
obedience
,
advanced
by
the
transcendent
power
of
Prerogative
,
is
too
weake
to
support
the
right
of
government
:
It
is
the
affections
and
estates
of
your
people
,
tyed
with
the
threads
of
obedience
,
by
the
rules
of
Law
,
that
fastens
safety
and
prosperity
to
the
Crowne
.
The
experiment
of
elder
times
,
in
the
raignes
of
the
most
valiant
puissant
Princes
,
hath
concluded
this
the
soveraigne
preservative
against
the
diseases
of
distraction
and
confusion
,
and
makes
it
manifest
to
the
world
,
that
the
honour
and
glory
of
this
Throne
is
to
command
the
hearts
of
free-men
.
This
admitted
,
the
permission
of
the
least
diminution
,
or
any
eclypsed
interposition
betweene
the
honour
and
plenty
of
the
Crowne
,
contracts
a
scorne
upon
the
Nation
.
Severall
Parliaments
in
former
times
have
stampt
the
Caracter
of
a
free
gift
upon
the
fore-front
of
this
ayd
,
still
offered
by
the
people
as
a
sacrifice
of
thankesgiving
to
the
Crowne
,
for
the
safe
conduct
of
your
Merchants
,
and
provision
of
the
Navie
,
to
strengthen
your
undoubted
Dominion
over
the
seas
,
which
hath
protected
your
Allyes
,
and
is
a
terrour
to
your
Enemies
.
Our
hopes
were
long
since
to
have
settled
this
for
the
measure
and
the
time
,
and
with
this
to
have
presented
to
your
sacred
Majesty
the
triumphant
palme
of
Tranquillity
in
all
your
Kingdomes
:
But
,
as
a
ship
floating
upon
a
rough
sea
,
wee
have
beene
cast
upon
the
rocke
of
feare
and
dangers
,
and
tossed
on
the
billowes
of
distraction
and
distrust
of
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
where
we
yet
remaine
hopelesse
ever
to
passe
through
that
narrow
channell
which
leads
to
the
Haven
of
peace
,
unlesse
we
be
speedily
steered
on
by
the
hand
of
your
sacred
wisedome
,
care
and
providence
.
In
the
midst
of
all
these
troubles
,
and
the
severall
opinions
which
have
beene
amongst
us
,
no
division
had
power
to
distract
any
one
of
us
from
the
care
and
duty
wee
owe
to
your
sacred
person
.
And
,
to
that
end
am
I
now
sent
by
the
Commons
of
England
,
to
present
this
as
a
Marke
onely
,
whereby
your
sacred
Majesty
may
view
the
inward
duties
of
our
hearts
,
untill
time
and
opportunity
will
give
leave
for
a
further
expression
of
our
duties
and
affections
.
The
acceptation
of
this
gift
will
glad
the
hearts
of
your
people
,
and
the
approbation
by
the
royall
assent
of
this
Bill
(
being
the
largest
for
the
measure
which
was
ever
given
)
will
joyne
wings
to
our
desires
and
hopes
,
which
shall
never
returne
without
that
Olive-leafe
,
which
may
declare
that
the
waters
are
abated
,
and
your
sacred
Majesty
may
have
full
assurance
of
the
faith
and
loyalty
of
your
subjects
.
His
Majesties
SPEECH
.
I
Doe
very
willingly
accept
your
offer
made
at
this
time
,
as
a
testimony
of
your
love
,
and
beginning
of
your
dutifull
affections
unto
mee
;
And
I
no
way
doubt
,
but
that
you
will
performe
that
which
you
have
intimated
unto
me
,
and
that
in
due
time
you
will
performe
the
rest
,
when
you
have
leisure
.
I
doe
not
doubt
likewise
,
but
that
in
passing
this
Bill
you
will
see
a
testimony
of
the
trust
and
confidence
I
have
in
your
affections
,
as
also
that
I
omit
no
occasion
whereby
I
may
shew
that
affection
to
my
people
,
that
I
desire
my
people
would
shew
to
me
,
as
in
this
Parliament
hitherto
no body
can
say
but
that
I
have
sought
occasions
both
to
shew
my
affections
unto
them
,
and
to
remove
disputes
.
And
therefore
in
this
particular
Bill
I
hope
you
will
know
that
I
do
freely
and
frankly
give
over
the
right
which
my
Predecessours
have
ever
challenged
unto
them
(
though
I
confesse
disputed
,
but
yet
they
did
never
yeeld
in
their
times
;
)
Therefore
you
will
understand
this
but
a
marke
of
my
confidence
to
put
my selfe
wholly
upon
the
love
and
affection
of
my
people
for
my
subsistence
;
And
therefore
I
hope
that
in
prosecution
of
this
,
you
will
go
on
as
you
have
said
,
and
that
,
though
you
have
rumors
of
jealousies
and
suspitions
,
by
flying
and
idle
discourses
,
that
have
come
to
my
eares
,
concerning
the
ordinary
way
,
I
confesse
I
never
understood
otherwise
then
as
having
relation
to
the
Scotish
army
,
and
preventing
insurrection
;
which
vanished
as
soone
as
they
were
borne
.
And
therefore
now
you
see
my
clearnesse
,
I
will
leave
that
to
you
,
and
will
not
meddle
with
it
one
way
or
other
,
for
I
never
had
other
designe
but
to
win
the
affections
of
my
people
by
my
Justice
in
my
Government
.
