The King's Speech on opening the Parliament.] The king being come to the house of lords, and seated on the throne, his majesty sig nitied his reasons for calling this parliament, in the following Speech:

"My Lords; The knowledge I had of the designs of my Scots subjects, was the cause of my calling the last assembly of parliament; wherein, had I been believed, I sincerely think that things bad not fallen out as now we see. But it is no wonder that men are so slow to believe, that so great a sedition should be raised on so little ground. But now, my lords and gentlemen, the honour and safety of this kingdom lying so near at stake, I am resolved to put myself freely and clearly on the love and affection of my English subjects; as those of my lords that waited on me at York may very well remember I there declared.-Therefore, my lords, I shall not mention mine own interest, or that support I might justly expect from you, till the common safety be secured; though I must tell you, I am not ashamed to say, those ebarges I have been at, have been merely for the security and good of this kingdom, though the success hath not been answerable to my desires. Therefore I shall only desire you to consider the best way, both for the safety and security of this kingdom; wherein there are two parts chiefly considerable, first, the chasing out of rebels; and secondly, that other in satisfying your just Grievances; wherein I promise you to concur so heartily and clearly with you, that all the world may see my intentions have ever been, and shall be, to make this a glorious and flourishing kingdom. There are only two things that I shall mention to you; the one is to tell you, that the loan of money which I had lately from the city of London,

it to you where to begin: only this, that you may the better know the state of all the affairs, I have commanded my lord keeper to give you a short and free account of those things that have happened in this interim; with this protestation, that if this account be not satisfactory, as it ought to be, I shall, whensoever you desire, give you a full and perfect account of every particular. One thing more I desire of you, as one of the greatest means to make this a happy parliament, that you, on your parts, as I, on mine, lay aside all suspicion one of another; for, as I promised my lords at York, it shall not be my fault, if this be not a happy and good parliament."

The Lord Keeper's Speech.] The king having ended his Speech, John lord Finch, lord keeper of the great seal, made the following speech:

"My lords, and you the knights, citizens, and burgesses of the house of commons ;-You have been summoned by his maj.'s gracious writ, under the great seal of England, and you are here this day assembled for the holding of a parliament. The writ tells you, 'Tis to treat and consult of the high, great, and weighty affairs that concern the state and safety of the kingdom.' It tells you rue; for, since the conquest, never was there a time that did more require, and pray for the best advice and affection of the English people. It is ill viewing. of objects, by viewing them in a multiplying glass; and it is almost as mischievous in the species of such a broken glass, which represents but to the half. The only and the perfect way is to look in a true mirror. I will not take upon me to be a good looker in it: I will only hold it to you to make use of it.-The kingdom of England is this multiplying glass; you may there see a state which hath flourished for divers hundred years, famous in time of peace and war, glorious at home, and ever considerable abroad; a nation to whom never yet any conqueror gave new laws, nor abolished the old; nor would this nation ever suffer a conqueror to meddle with their laws, no not the Romans; who yet, when they subdued all the people, made it part of their conquest to lead their aws in triumph with them. For the Saxons,
