| Speech III. | To the First Protectorate Parliament, 12 Sept. 1654 | 127 | |
| Cannot have the Foundations of Government submitted to debate in this Assembly. A free Parliament they; but he also, in virtue of whom they sit, must be an unquestioned Protector. His history since he entered on these Public Struggles; Dismissal of the Long Parliament; Abdication of the Little Parliament; Protectorship, on what founded, by whom acknowledged. To proceed no farther, till they acknowledge it. | |||

| Speech IV. | Dissolution of the First Protectorate Parliament, 22 Jan. 1654-5 | 166 | |
| Regrets that they have not communicated with him: he was not unconcerned with them; has been struggling and endeavouring for them, keeping Peace round them;—does not know, on their part, whether they have been alive or dead. Of trees that foster only things poisonous under their shadow. Of disturbances, once well asleep, awakened into new perilous activity during these debates. Necessary that they be dissolved. | |||
