He had ceased doing his work quietly, but had continued to do it well. In the Council and in the House he was now a con- spicuous personage. The entire year 1621, begin- ning with the assembling of Parliament in Feb- ruary had kept him very busy and in continual excitement. The irritability of the King in his illness and his extravagant behavior, the increasing demands of the Commons and the antagonism between the King and his subjects upon the foreign policy had called forth from the Secretary... the continual exercise of courtesy and diplomacy. It was his constant aim to bridge over the gulf between the King and the Commons, and yet not to curtail the royal prerogative. After the disgrace of Bacon, a part of the Parliamentary duties of the Chancellor seemed to have devolved upon the Secretary. He served as a medium of communica- tion between the Crown and the Commons, and was often instructed to deliver the King's addresses by " word of mouth, " to the House. Letters from James to the Commons were directed either to the Speaker or to Secretary Calvert ; and as a repre- sentative from Yorkshire, he was burdened by the demands of a large constituency, frequently 69 unfriendly to him ; and his cares were necessarily further increased by the exceeding difficulty of reconciling his duties as a representative with his duties as privy Councillor and Secretary.
