Seite 162 - I will be : when salt has lost its savour, fit it is to be cast on that unsavoury place, the dunghill. But, sir, let us deal with them as God hath dealt with us : God, before he made man, made the world, a handsome place for him to dwell in ; so let us provide them some convenient livings, and then punish them in God's name; but till then, scandalous livings cannot but have scandalous ministers.
Seite 146 - ... and that your Majesty would also vouchsafe to declare, that the awards, doings, and proceedings to the prejudice of your people, in any of the premises, shall not be drawn hereafter into consequence or example : and that your Majesty would be also graciously pleased, for the further comfort and safety of your people, to declare your royal will and pleasure, that in the things aforesaid all your officers and ministers shall serve you, according to the laws and statutes of this realm, as they tender...

Seite 157 - For the next, the ignorance and corruption of our ministers, where can you miss of instances? If you survey the court, if you survey the country; if the church, if the city be examined; if you observe the bar, if the bench, if the ports, if the shipping, if the land, if the seas, — all these will render you variety of proofs; and that in such measure and proportion as shows the greatness of our disease to be such that, if there be not some speedy application for remedy, our case is almost desperate.
Seite 152 - ... of our generals abroad; the ignorance or corruption of our ministers at home; the impoverishing of the sovereign; the oppression and depression of the subject; the exhausting of our treasures; the waste of our provisions; consumption of our ships; destruction of our men; — these make the advantage to our enemies, not the reputation of their arms; and if in these there be not reformation, we need no foes abroad; time itself will ruin us.
Seite 155 - I wish there were not cause to mention it; and, but for the apprehension of the danger that is to come, if the like choice hereafter be not prevented, I could willingly be silent. But my duty to my sovereign, my service to this House, and the safety and honour of my country, are above all respects; and what so nearly trenches to the prejudice of these must not, shall not, be forborne.
Seite 479 - ... yea, or his no, that the question might be put only, upon the giving the king a supply: which being carried in the affirmative, another question might be upon the proportion, and the manner ; and if the first were carried in the negative, it would produce the same effect, as the other question proposed by Mr. Hambden would do.
Seite 103 - Ye must trust me as well as ye did my predecessors, and trust my messages ;' but messages of love never came into a parliament. Let us put up a PETITION OF RIGHT ; not that I distrust the King, but that I cannot take his trust but in a parliamentary way (</)." This famous ordinance was finished in afew days, and delivered to the Lords for their concurrence.
Seite 115 - ... should we now add it, we shall weaken the foundation of law, and then the building must needs fall. Take we heed what we yield unto. Magna charta is such a fellow. that he will have no sovereign. I wonder this sovereign was not in magna charta, or in the confirmations of it. If we grant this, by implication we give a sovereign power above all laws.
