(d
.
1648), was See also:born
at Bradfield Hall, near Manningtree, on the 27th of See also:January 1603
.
Educated at See also:Emmanuel See also:College, See also:Cambridge, he became a See also:barrister of See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn, then See also:recorder of See also:Harwich and recorder of See also:Colchester
.
As member for Colchester, Grimston sat in the See also:Short Parliament of 164o, and he represented the same borough during the See also:Long Parliament, speedily becoming a leading member of the popular party
.
He attacked See also:Archbishop See also:Laud with great vigour; was a member of the important committees of the parliament, including the one appointed in consequence of the attempted seizure of the five members; and became See also:deputy-See also:lieutenant of See also:Essex after the passing of the See also:militia See also:ordinance in January 1642
.
He disliked taking up arms against the king, but remained nominally an adherent of the parliamentary party during the See also:Civil See also:War
.
In the words of See also:Clarendon, he " continued rather than concurred with them." Grimston does not appear to have taken the See also:Solemn See also:League and See also:Covenant, but after the conclusion of the first See also:period of the war he again became more active
.
He was See also:president of the See also:committee which investigated the See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape of the king from See also:Hampton See also:Court in 1647, and was one of those who negotiated with See also:Charles at See also:Newport in 1648, when, according to See also:Burnet, he See also:fell upon his knees and urged the king to come to terms
.
From this time Grimston's sympathies appear to have been with the Royalists
.
Turned out of the House of See also:Commons when the See also:assembly was " purged " by See also:colonel See also:Pride, he was imprisoned; but was released after promising to do nothing detrimental to the parliament or the See also:army, and spent the next few years in retirement
.
Before this time, his See also:elder See also:brother having already died, he had succeeded his See also:father as znd See also:baronet
.
In 1656 Sir Harbottle was returned to See also:Cromwell's second parliament as member for Essex; but he was not allowed to take his seat; and with 97 others who were similarly treated he issued a remonstrance to the public
.
He was among the secluded members who re-entered the Lcng Parliament in See also:February ,66o, was then a member of the See also:council of See also:state, and was chosen See also:Speaker of the House of Commons in the See also:Convention Parliament of 166o
.
As Speaker he visited Charles II. at See also:Breda, and addressed him in very flattering terms on his return to London; but he refused to accede to the king's demand that he should dismiss Burnet from his position as See also:chaplain to the See also:Master of the Rolls, and in parliament he strongly denounced any relaxation of the See also:laws against papists
.
Grimston did not retain the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of Speaker after the See also:dissolution of the Convention Parliament, but he was a member of the See also:commission which tried the regicides, and in See also:November 166o he was appointed Master of the Rolls
.
See also:Report says he paid Clarendon £8000 for the office, while Burnet declares he obtained it " without any application of his own." He died on the znd of January 1685
.
His friend and chaplain, Burnet, speaks very highly of his piety and impartiality, while not omitting the undoubted fact that he was " much sharpened against popery." He translated the law reports of his father-in-law, the See also:judge, Sir See also:George Croke {1560–1642), which were written in See also:Norman-See also:French, and five See also:editions of this See also:work have appeared
.
Seven of his parliamentary speeches were published, and he also wrote Strena Christiana (London, 1644, and other editions)
.
Grimston's first wife, Croke's daughter See also:Mary, See also:bore him six sons and two daughters; and by his second wife, See also:Anne, daughter and heiress of Sir Nathaniel Bacon, K.B., a See also:grandson of Sir See also:Nicholas Bacon, he had one daughter
.
Of his sons one only, See also:Samuel (1643–1700), survived his father, and when he died in October 1700 the baronetcy became See also:extinct
