COLLECTION

O F

TRACT S,

Two SPEECHES made by IOHN PYMM Efquire; the one after the Articles of the Charge against the Earle of STRAFFORD were read. The other after the Articles of the Charge against Sir GEORGE RATCLIFFE were read,

Mr. PYM's SPEECH made the 25th of NOVEMB. 1640; After the Articles of the Charge against the Earle of STRAFFORD were read. Quoted by RUSHWORTH, Page 10, but not inferted by him,

My LORDS,

HESE Articles have expreft the Character of a great and dangerous Treafon; fuch a one as is advanced to the highest degree of malice and of mifchiefe: it is enlarged beyond the limits of any description or definition: it is fo hainous in it felfe, as that it is capable of no aggravation: a Treafon against God betraying his Truth and worship; against the King, obfcuring the glory, and weakning the foundation of his Throne; against the Common-wealth, by deftroying the Principles of fafetie and profperitie. Other Treafons are against the Rule of the Law; this is against the being of the Law: It is the Law that unites the King and his People; and the Author of this Treafon hath endeavored to diffolve that Union; even to breake the mutuall, irreverfall, indiffoluble band of protection and Allegiance, whereby they are, and I hope ever will bee bound together.
