better_a season_n do_v you_o think_v sir_n there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o weight_n in_o these_o pretence_n or_o be_v they_o mere_a sham_n kt._n if_o i_o may_v without_o breach_n of_o privilege_n tell_v you_o the_o discourse_n in_o our_o house_n of_o commons_o upon_o this_o occasion_n you_o will_v conclude_v that_o those_o who_o object_v the_o unseasonableness_n of_o the_o bill_n do_v not_o believe_v themselves_o whatever_o they_o say_v to_o delay_v the_o bill_n for_o fear_v of_o a_o disgust_n between_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n that_o be_v in_o truth_n after_o so_o many_o in_o both_o house_n have_v appear_v for_o it_o a_o reason_n for_o present_v pass_v it_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n may_v have_v be_v out_o of_o doubt_n of_o their_o perfect_a union_n but_o i_o may_v free_o tell_v you_o some_o of_o the_o private_a discourse_n among_o the_o member_n and_o in_o those_o some_o of_o we_o be_v bold_a to_o ask_v whence_o come_v the_o rumour_n that_o the_o bill_n will_v displease_v the_o king_n and_o whether_o any_o body_n have_v authority_n to_o insinuate_v to_o the_o member_n that_o the_o king_n will_v have_v the_o bill_n delay_v as_o unseasonable_a but_o i_o can_v hear_v of_o none_o that_o will_v own_o more_o than_o their_o doubt_n and_o conjecture_n which_o make_v i_o suspect_v that_o there_o be_v some_o secret_a design_n to_o dissuade_v the_o king_n from_o agree_v to_o the_o bill_n on_o purpose_n to_o weaken_v abroad_o the_o reputation_n of_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n perfect_a agreement_n yeom_o what_o you_o have_v observe_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o secret_a enemy_n of_o the_o government_n be_v still_o design_v mischief_n to_o disturb_v the_o agreement_n between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o people_n but_o may_v not_o this_o bill_n give_v occasion_n to_o the_o king_n to_o think_v that_o the_o parliament_n have_v some_o jealous_o of_o he_o that_o he_o will_v not_o govern_v by_o a_o due_a course_n of_o successive_a parliament_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o intent_n of_o our_o constitution_n kt._n sir_n i_o can_v ready_o answer_v you_o that_o if_o the_o time_n and_o manner_n of_o offer_v the_o bill_n be_v only_o consider_v with_o other_o circumstance_n there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n for_o the_o king_n to_o harbour_v such_o a_o thought_n be_v there_o any_o reason_n for_o a_o prince_n to_o think_v his_o people_n jealous_a of_o he_o because_o they_o provide_v good_a law_n for_o the_o secure_v their_o right_n and_o liberties_n every_o good_a prince_n ought_v to_o be_v please_v to_o see_v his_o people_n careful_a therein_o not_o only_o that_o he_o may_v not_o have_v it_o in_o his_o power_n to_o wrong_v they_o but_o that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v in_o any_o other_o prince_n power_n who_o may_v succeed_v he_o every_o prince_n shall_v be_v ambitious_a to_o have_v law_n of_o that_o kind_n make_v in_o his_o time_n to_o be_v last_a monument_n of_o his_o glory_n as_o have_v give_v such_o security_n of_o peace_n and_o rest_n to_o his_o people_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v remember_v that_o our_o king_n have_v invite_v his_o people_n to_o invent_v and_o provide_v law_n so_o to_o secure_v their_o parliament_n which_o be_v their_o constitution_n and_o all_o their_o right_n and_o liberty_n that_o they_o may_v never_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v again_o invade_v therefore_o he_o can_v not_o think_v their_o obedience_n to_o his_o own_o command_n shall_v arise_v from_o a_o jealousy_n or_o distrust_n of_o he_o it_o must_v also_o be_v consider_v that_o our_o king_n have_v have_v large_a experience_n of_o the_o confidence_n of_o his_o people_n in_o he_o they_o have_v by_o several_a act_n more_o absolute_o trust_v their_o person_n liberty_n and_o estate_n in_o his_o power_n than_o be_v ever_o do_v to_o any_o former_a prince_n by_o our_o ancestor_n in_o any_o age._n it_o ought_v to_o be_v esteem_v the_o great_a of_o all_o trust_n that_o they_o have_v patient_o bear_v for_o above_o

confusion_n and_o blood_n that_o have_v be_v in_o england_n be_v occasion_v by_o the_o want_n of_o that_o settlement_n now_o when_o the_o parliament_n have_v thus_o high_o trust_v his_o majesty_n can_v he_o take_v it_o amiss_o that_o they_o be_v unwilling_a to_o run_v the_o hazard_n any_o long_o of_o the_o like_a trust_n devolve_v upon_o successor_n that_o can_v be_v know_v who_o they_o be_v or_o what_o they_o will_v be_v that_o which_o be_v mention_v of_o his_o hazard_v his_o life_n in_o the_o war_n for_o our_o sake_n be_v so_o far_o from_o show_v this_o bill_n to_o be_v unseasonable_a that_o it_o be_v the_o strong_a argument_n possible_a to_o have_v it_o finish_v forthwith_o while_o he_o enjoy_v the_o crown_n who_o have_v personal_o renew_v the_o original_a contract_n with_o the_o
