           Two

           considerable
           which
           I

           our

           Why
           Mr.
           
             Speaker
             ,
          
           we
           are
           told
           of
           the
           Sonne
           of
           
             Solomon
          
           that
           he
           was
           a
           Prince
           of
           a
           tender
           heart
           ,
           and
           yet
           by
           the
           advice
           of
           violent
           Counsellors
           ,
           how
           rough
           an
           answer
           he
           gave
           his
           people
           ,
           
             that
             his
             finger
             should
             be
             heavier
             then
             his
             Fathers
             Loynes
             .
          
           I
           dare
           say
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           not
           his
           owne
           but
           the
           voyce
           of
           some
           persons
           about
           him
           ,
           that
           wanted
           the
           gravity
           of
           moderation
           requisite
           for
           the
           Counsellors
           of
           a
           young
           King
           .
           I
           love
           not
           to
           presse
           Allegories
           too
           farre
           ,
           but
           the
           Resemblance
           of
           
             Iobes
          
           story
           with
           ours
           holds
           so
           well
           ,
           that
           I
           can
           not
           but
           observe
           it
           to
           you
           :
           it
           pleased
           God
           to
           give
           his
           enemies
           to
           afflict
           him
           ,
           and
           yet
           he
           was
           no●
           provoked
           to
           rebell
           against
           him
           so
           much
           as
           with
           his
           tongue
           (
           although
           he
           had
           no
           good
           example
           of
           one
           that
           lay
           neere
           him
           )
           and
           felt
           not
           the
           halfe
           which
           he
           suffered
           .
           I
           hope
           his
           Majesty
           will
           imitate
           God
           in
           being
           neere
           it
           too
           ,
           and
           as
           he
           was
           severe
           to
           
             Iob
          
           onely
           whilst
           he
           discoursed
           with
           another
           concerning
           him
           ,
           but
           when
           he
           vouchsafed
           himselfe
           to
           speake
           to
           him
           ,
           began
           to
           rebuke
           those
           who
           had
           mistaken
           and
           misjudged
           his
           case
           ,
           and
           to
           restore
           the
           patient
           man
           to
           his
           former
           prosperity
           :
           so
           now
           his
           Majesty
           hath
           admitted
           us
           his
           presence
           and
           spoken
           face
           to
           face
           with
           us
           ,
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           we
           shall
           have
           fairer
           dayes
           and
           be
           as
           rich
           in
           the
           possession
           of
           our
           owne
           ,
           as
           ever
           we
           were
           I
           cannot
           but
           wonder
           at
           those
           who
           seeme
           to
           doubt
           the
           successe
           of
           this
           
             Parliament
             ,
          
           or
           the
           misunderstanding
           betwixt
           the
           King
           and
           the
           people
           should
           last
           any
           longer
           now
           we
           are
           so
           happily
           met
           .
        
         
           His
           Majesties
           wants
           are
           not
           so
           great
           but
           that
           we
           may
           finde
           
           
           
           meanes
           to
           supply
           them
           nor
           our
           desires
           so
           unreasonable
           or
           so
           incompatible
           with
           government
           ,
           but
           that
           his
           Majesty
           ,
           may
           well
           sat●sfie

           for
           our
           late
           experience
           I
           hope
           will

           and
           how
           necessary
           the
           use
           of
           moderation
           is

           for
           his
           Majesty
           he
           hath
           had
           experience
           enough
           ,
           how
           that
           prospereth
           which
           is
           gotten
           without

           will
           of
           the

           Mr.
           
             Speaker
             ,
          
           whilst
           these
           men
           have
           bent
           their
           wits
           against
           the
           Lawes
           of
           their
           Country
           ,
           whether
           they
           have
           neglected
           their
           owne
           
           charge
           ,
           and
           what
           Tares
           are
           growne
           up
           in
           the
           field
           ,
           which
           they

           have
           tilled
           ,
           I
           leave
           it
           to
           a
           second
           consideration
           ,
           not
           but
           that
           Religion
           ought
           to
           be
           the
           first
           thing
           in

           purposes
           and
           desires
           ;
           but
           that
           which
           is
           first
           in
           dignity
           is
           not
           alwaies
           to

           order
           of
           time
           ▪
           for
           well
           being

           a
           being
           ,
           and
           the
           first
           impediment
           which
           men
           naturally
           endeavour
           to
           remove
           ,
           is
           the
           want
           of
           those
           things
           without
           which
           they
           cannot
           subsist
           .
        
         
           
             God
             first
             assigned

           rest
           of
           the
           creatures
           before
           he
           appointed
           him
           a
           Law
           to
           observe
           ,
           and
           let
           me
           tell
           you
           ,
           that
           if
           our
           Adversaries
           have
           any

           is
           nothing
           more
           easie
           then
           to
           impose
           Religion
           on
           people
