MASTER GRIMSTON HIS SPEECH IN THE HOVSE of Commons, Concerning the distempers betweene the King and both Houses of Parliament.

Mr. Speaker,

I VVould faine bring one stone to our building now in hand, and it is but a caveat [Page] to the Master builders, to beware, of those who hinder the worke, And pull downe by night, vvhat is built up by day.

Master Speaker
There are that Speake loudly to the King, And in agitating of all matters, seem very tender of him, but substances, and semblances, essences, and apparances, are opposite: Multa videntur quae non sunt, these vvould make us beleeve, that our redressing of some greiveances, is [Page] the pulling out of some flovvers from the Crovvn, and hereby they cast maine and Intricating Doubts, vvhere vvith to retard and perplex our proceedings, and to lay an il-favoured imputation upon us, as if vve vvere Regardlesse of our Gracious Soveraigne, and these good men, the onely Battresses of his Royalty: by this they endeavour to endeare themselves to the King, for their owne advancement, to have him [Page] guided by their owne Councells, and to take off his affection from his best, and most Loyall Subjects, Assembled in Parliament.

Master Speaker, The King and his Subjects are Relatives, and we know that in Logicke, ne lato sublato tollaitur Correlatum, they that disioynt the King and his People, do neither better nor worse, but do their utmost (to un-King him.

Master Speaker, the King is the Parent, the Husband solemparely espoused at his Coronation, the head of the Republique, as it is with the naturall parent, Husband and head: So it is with the publique, The naturall parent bestoweth on his child, protection and love, with all his fruits: the Child returneth him filiall reverence with al due respects: [Page] And he that laboureth to breake this intercourse, by possessing the parent with an evill opinion of the Child, is equally an enemy to both.

There is a sweete echo of coniugall affections betweene the Maried, and be that shall goe about to interupt it, is a hater of them both, and a subverter of their Family.

In the naturall body, such is the connexion betweene it and the Head, that a seperation is distructive to both, wheras otherwise, the head in the body, being the seate of the vitalls, and the braine in the head, of the Animall Spirits, reciprocally cōmunicating preserve the whole: Our gratious Soveraigne is the common Parent, husband, & head, si Calumniemus frangimur: If therefore there shall be any found to be as undermining Pyoners envying to disaffect our parent to us, to divorce us from this our husband, [Page] to divide us from our Head.

My iust motion is, that upon a watchfull discoverie, whereon I would have every good mans intent, they may receive the extremity of severety as they will deserve, and if any of them shall prove member of this house, that the furnace may be heated, tenne times hotter, for betraying the trust reposed in them, by their County that sent them hither.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
