Sir Dudley Diggs.
SIR Dudley Diggs quickened his motion, and spoke roundly: We have (said he) freely concluded out Liberties, we have offered five Subsidies, his Majesty hath given us gracious Answers, we have had good by our beginnings, What have we hitherto done for the King? No∣thing is done that the King can take notice of. The World thinks that this Parliament hath not expressed that resolution that it did at the first, how much doth it concern the King, that the World be satisfied with his Honour? Our success and Honour is the Kings. Princes want not those that may ingratiate themselves with them, by doing ill Offices. There is a stop, and never did a Parliament propound any thing, but it hath been perfected sooner than this is. May not the King say, What have I done? they grow cold. Have I not told them, I will proceed with as much grace as ever King did? He will settle our Pro∣prieties and Goods. Have we not had a graci∣ous Answer? are we hand in hand for his Supply? shall it be said that this day it was moved, but denied? it may put our whole business back; wherein can this disadvantage us? this binds us not, I dare say confidently, we shall have as much as ever any Subjects had from their King.
