Note 144 — Chapter III
Reading edition
No traces of Pym's speech are found in Rushworth, Nalson, or Parliamentary Debates. It is not mentioned in Forster's Life of the Great Statesmen, or in Sanford's Illustrations. The extract I have given is from A Just Vindication of the questioned part of the reading of Edward Bagshawe, Esq., 1660, p. 2-4. The tract states that Pym's speech was delivered when the petition was read and debated in the House. Hanbury's Memorials, ii. 141.
