Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Harleian Miscellany, Vol. 5: Or, a Collection of Scarce, Curious, and Entertaining Pamphlets and Tracts, as Well in Manuscript as in Print, Found in the Late Earl of Oxford´s Library, Interspersed With Historical, Political, and Critical Notes Concerning the Regulating of the King´s Majesty´s Prerogative, and the Liberties of the Subjects. With a Motion for the speedy Redress of all Grievances, under which the Church and State do lie. London, printed by Bernard Alsop, 1641, Quarto, containing eight Pages. Mr. Speaker, The last time we assembled, we sat like a college of physicians, upon the life and death of three great patients; whose bleeding hearts lay prostrate before us, and we arrived at that critical minute, either to receive relief, or eternal destruction. The three fortunate nations were presented to us, in all their distractions, and grown to such a superlative in their miseries, that, like nursing mothers bereaved of their tender infants, they were careless of what might happen to them, Quia perdiderunt aberrates. These three kingdoms, whose peace and amity filled the remaining world with envy and emulation, and were, like that happy trinity of faith, hope, and charity, in a perfect union, had but now their swords edged to each others contusion. O scelus hominum! Height of impiety! Kai su teknon! said Caesar in the senate; it was not his death that grieved him, but that his son should advance his hand to his slaughter.
