MASTER GLYN HIS Speech in Parliament , on Wednesday the fift of Ianuary , at the Committee , sitting in Guild-Hall , concerning the breaches of the Priviledges of Parliament , by breaking open the Chambers , Truncks , and Studies , of the six Gentlemen , upon their accusation of high Treason by his Majestie . 1641. Master Speaker , VVEe sit now upon that Grand businesse of the breaches of the Rights and Priviledges of Parliament , which are so many , and great , so carefully preserved , and defended , and having in former times severely punished the infringers thereof , that I had thought and conceived , that no Subject of what degree or dignity soever , would either in their own persons , or by mis-informing his Majesty , concerning the same , have presumed to have entrenched in the least measure upon the free Liberty , Rights , and very being of Parliaments , tending to the breach thereof . But Master Speaker , I perceive the perversenesse , and obstinate frowardnesse of divers persons in this Kingdome , in places of power , and authority , as well of the Clergy , as Layitie , are growne to that height , that they dare not only presume to instigate , and provoke His sacred Majesty , by their subtill and politicke mis-informations , but themselves in their owne persons dare attempt , if His Majesty in His royall wisedome , tender care , and affection towards his loyall subjects do refuse to do the same , to endeavour as much as in them lyes , by their malignant carriages in Petitions , and Protestations to resist the lawfull power , and undoubted Iurisdiction , both of the King , and his high Court of Parliament . Master Speaker , These men notwithstanding , they apparantly perceive that their wicked Practises , and malicious Designes , cannot take effect according to their expectation , but are rejected , and detected , aswell by his Sacred Majesty , as his Lords and his whole Councell , dare aventure , to endeavour by casting aspersions , and spreading abroad evill reports , not onely of the Members , but of the Proceedings of the House of Commons against them , and others of their Adherents and Favourites , in their wicked and desperate actions and designes against their lawfull Soveraigne , and his Liege people . I conceive Master Speaker , did these persons , but remember the many presidents , yet extant of the just and deserved punishments inflicted by former Parliaments upon such miscreants , as witnesse the Archbishop of Yorke , the Duke of Suffolke , Chiefe Iustice Belknap , and the rest of that conspiracy in the raigne of K. Richard the 2. they would have prejudicated to themselves , the like danger would follow upon them for their evill actions ; Nay Master Speaker , did these men but consider with themselves , the just Iudgements of God , that have immediately lighted upon the necks of such , as have beene the Troublers of Kingdomes and Common-wealths , whereof they have beene members , as well recorded in sacred writ , as of late times in this Kingdome , yet still in fresh memory , they would have laid their hands upon their mouths and hearts , when they went about to speake or doe any thing tending to the dishonour of Almighty God , in innovating of his true Religion , corrupting the sincere Doctrine and Discipline of Christ and his Apostles , as also any thing tending to the dishonour and perpetuall destruction of his Royall Majesty , and however , otherwise they may pretend the fundamentall lawes and liberties of this Kingdome , the rights and priviledges of Parliaments , and the very being thereof : but surely Master Speaker , they are altogether benummed and stupified , their consciences dead and seered , their lives and conversation altogether devoted to the workes of darkenesse , and impurity ; their desires altogether Sensuall , Carnall , and Divelish , forgetting God , kicking and spurring with maliciousnesse against all piety and godlinesse , or else , they would never have adventured to practise such things , as it is too too manifest they have done . Master Speaker , I intend to bee briefe in that , which I am to speake concerning the breaches of the priviledges of Parliament First , to informe his Majesty of any proceedings in the House of Commons upon any businesse whatsoever , before they have concluded , finished and made ready the same , to present to his Majesty , for his Royall assent , thereupon is a breach of the priviledges of Parliament . Secondly , to mis-informe his Majesty contrary to the proceedings in Parliament , thereby to incense and provoke him against the same , is a breach of priviledge of Parliament . Thirdly , to cause or procure any information or accusation to bee brought , or preferred without the knowledge or consent of the Parliament into the House , against any of the members thereof , is a breach of priviledge of Parliament . Fourthly , to apprehend any such accused , to imprison their persons , to cease upon their goods or estates , to prosecute and proceed against them to their triall and judgement , to condemne or execute them upon such accusation , without the consent or advice of the Parliament , is a breach of the priviledges thereof . Fiftly , to endeavour to cast an evill opinion of such members accused into the hearts of His Majesties loyall Subjects , whereby they dis-affecting them , may be ready and willing to put in execution any command or warrant for their apprehension , and imprisonment , is a breach of the priviledges of Parliament . Sixtly , to come in open Parliament , for any Officer , or Sergeant , to demand and arrest any such member accused , be it of high Treason , or any other crime whatsoever , without the knowledge of the whole House , is a breach of the priviledges of Parliament . Seventhly , to come to a Parliament sitting in free consultation , assisted and guarded with Armed men , and with them besetting the House , to demand as it were ( vi & ( armis ) such members accused , is a breach of the priviledges of Parliament . Lastly , to procure to be set forth , or to set forth under His Majesties name , any Proclamation , or Declaration , prohibiting the repaire of such persons accused to the Parliament , as members thereof , and to apprehend them in what place soever they shall bee found , without the advise and consent of the whole State assembled , and sitting in free Parliament , is a manifest breach of the priviledges thereof . And this Master Speaker is all that I have to say , concerning this dayes busines , humbly leaving the same to the further consideration of this Honourable Assembly . FINIS .
