judgment, appeared in the House of Commons when the question of supply was brought before them, by some members attached to the court. In vain was it urged, that thoutrh the king received a supply which had been voted to Elizabeth, and which had not been collected before her death; yet he found it burdened with a debt contracted by the queen, equal to the full amount of it: that peace was not yet thoroughly concluded with Spain, and that Ireland was still expensive to him: that on his journey from Scotland, amidst such a concourse of people, and on that of the queen and royal family, he had expended con siderable sums : and that as the courtiers had looked for greater liberalities from the prince on his accession, and had imposed on his generous nature ; so the prince, in his turn, would expect, at the beginning, some mark of duty and attachment from his people, and some consideration of his necessities. No impression was made on the House of Commons by these topics ; and the majority appeared fully determined to reject all supply. The burden of government, at that time, lay surprisingly light upon the people : and that very reason, which to us, at this distance, may seem a motive of generosity, was the real cause why the parliament was, on all occasions, so remarkably frugal and reserved. They were not, as yet, accustomed to open their purses in so liberal a manner as their successors, in order to supply the wants of their sovereign ; and the smallest demand, however requisite, appeared in their eyes unreasonable and exorbitant. The Commons seem also to have been desirous of reducing the crown to still further necessities, by their refusing.a bill, sent down to them by the Lords, for entailing the crown lands for ever on the king’s heirs and successors.* The dissipation made by Elizabeth had probably taught James the necessity of this law, and shown them the advantage of refusing it. In order to cover a disappointment with regard to supply, which might bear a bad construction both at home and abroad, James sent a message to the House, b in which he told them, that he desired no supply; and he was very for ward in refusing what was never offered him. Soon after, •th j I • *' e P roro S ue< l ^' e parliament, not without 1 u ’' discovering, in his speech, visible marks of dissatisfaction. Even so early in his reign, he saw reason to make public complaints of the restless and encroaching spirit of the puritanical party, and of the malevolence with which they endeavoured to inspire the Commons. Nor were his complaints without foundation, or the puritans without interest; since the Commons, now finding them selves free from the arbitrary government of Elizabeth, made application for a conference with the Lords, and presented a petition to the king; the purport of both which was, to procure, in favour of the puritans, a relaxa tion of the ecclesiastical laws.® The use of the surplice, and of the cross in baptism, is there chiefly complained of; but the remedy seems to have been expected solely from the king’s dispensing power. 6 In the papers which contain this application and petition, we may also see proofs of the violent animosity of the Commons against the catholics, together with the intolerating spirit of that assembly.® Peace with This summer the peace with Spain was finally concluded, and was signed by the i8tn Aug. s panls h ministers at London/ In the con ferences previous to this treaty, the nations were found to have so few claims on each other, that, except on account of the support given by England to the Low Country provinces, the war might appear to have been continued more on account of personal animosity between Philip and Elizabeth, than any contrariety of "political interests between their subjects. Some articles in the treaty, which a Parliamentary History, vol. v. p. 108. b Journ. 26 June, 1604. c La Boderie.the French ambassador, says, that the House of Commons was composed mostly of puritans, vol. i. p. 81. d Parliamentary History, vol. v. p. 98* 99,100. e This parliament passed an act of recognition of the king’s title in the most ample terms. They recognised and acknowledsed, that immediately upon the dissolution and decease of Elizabeth, late Queen of England, the imperial crown thereof did, by inherent birthright and lawful and un doubted succession, descend and come to his most excellent majesty, as being lineally, justly, and lawfully next and sole heir of the blood royal of this realm. 1 James I. cap. i. 'lhe puritans, though then prevalent, did not think proper to dispute this great constitutional point. In the recog nition of Queen Elizabeth, the parliament declares, that the queen’s high ness is, and in very deed and of most mere right ought to be, by the laws of God and by the laws and statutes of this realm, our most lawful and 2 K seemed prejudicial to the Dutch commonwealth, were never executed by the king; and as the Spaniards made no complaints on that head, it appeared that, by secret agreement, the king had expressly reserved the power of sending assistance to the Hollanders/ The constable of Castile came into England to ratify the peace; and on the part of England, the Earl of Hertford whs sent into the Low Countries for the same purpose, and the Earl of Nottingham, high admiral, into Spain. The train of the latter was numerous and splendid ; and the Spaniards, it is said, were extremely surprised, when they beheld the blooming countenances and graceful appearance of the English, whom their bigotry, inflamed by the priests, had represented as so many monsters and infernal demons. Though England, by means of her naval force, was perfectly secure during the latter years of the Spanish war, James showed an impatience to put an end to hostdities ; and soon after his accession, before any terms of peace were concerted, or even proposed by Spain, he recalled all the letters of marque b which had been granted by Queen Elizabeth. Archduke Albert had made some advances of a like nature,' which invited the king to take this friendly step. But what is remarkable; in James’s proclamation for that purpose, he plainly supposes, that, as he had himself, while King of Scotland, always lived in amity with Spain, peace was attached to his" person, and that merely by his accession to the crown of England, without any articles of treaty or agreement, he had ended the war between the kingdoms/ This ignorance of the law of nations may appear surprising in a prince, who was thirty-six years of age, and who had reigned from his infancy; did we not consider that a King of Scotland, who lives in close friendship with England, has few trans actions to manage with foreign princes, and has little opportunity of acquiring experience. Unhappily for James, his timidity, his prejudices, his indolence, his love of amusement, particularly of hunting, to which he was much addicted, ever prevented him from making any progress in the knowledge or practice of foreign politics, and in a little time diminished that regard which all the neighbouring nations had paid to England during the reign of his predecessor. 1 CHAP. XLVI. Gunpowder conspiracy—A parliament—Truce betwixt ^pain and the United Provinces—A parliament—Death of the French King—Annini- anisni—State of Ireland. We are now to relate an event, one of the most memorable that history has conveyed ' ' 1604, to posterity, and containing at once a singular proof both of the strength and weakness of the human mind; its widest departure from morals, and most steady attachment to religious prejudices. It is the Gunpowder treason of which I speak ; a fact as certain as it appears incredible. The Roman catholics had expected great Gunpowder favour and indulgence on the accession of conspiracy. James, both as he was descended from Mary, whose life they believed to have been sacrificed to their cause, and as he nimself, in his early youth, was imagined to have shown some partiality towards them, which nothing, they thought, but interest and necessity had since restrained. It is pre tended, that he had even entered into positive engagements to tolerate their religion, as soon as he should mount the throne of England; whether their credulity had interpreted rightful sovereign, liege lady and queen, &c. It appears then, that if King James’s divine right be not mentioned by parliament, the omission came merely from chance, and because that phrase did not occur to the compiler of the recognition ; his title being plainly the same with that of his predecessor, who was allowed to have a divine right. f Kvmer, tom. xvi. p. 585, A-c. g Winwood, vol. ii. p. 27 . 330. et alibi. In this respect James s peace was more honourable than that which Henry IV. himself made with Spam. This latter prince stipulated not to assist the Dutch; and the supplies, which he secretly sent them, were in direct contravention to the treaty. h 23d of June, 1603. , c i Grotn Annal. lib. 12. k See proclamations during the first seveu years of K.
