be_v diffident_a of_o we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o if_o we_o can_v once_o but_o lay_v a_o foundation_n for_o a_o good_a correspondence_n that_o his_o majesty_n will_v take_v so_o much_o content_v in_o it_o beyond_o what_o he_o do_v now_o enjoy_v that_o to_o preserve_v it_o he_o will_v afterward_o grant_v we_o what_o more_o bill_n may_v be_v further_a necessary_a for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o not_o for_o clog_a this_o address_n with_o any_o request_n for_o anything_o more_o than_o that_o one_o bill_n sir_n w._n j._n mr._n speaker_n sir_n we_o have_v hitherto_o have_v so_o little_a success_n in_o our_o endeavour_n that_o we_o may_v just_o suspect_v we_o be_v permit_v to_o sit_v here_o rather_o to_o destroy_v ourselves_o then_o to_o save_v our_o country_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o admiration_n to_o i_o that_o those_o who_o have_v so_o often_o advise_v his_o majesty_n to_o put_v this_o and_o the_o former_a parliament_n upon_o find_v out_o expedient_n for_o secure_v the_o protestant_a religion_n without_o alter_v the_o succession_n shall_v all_o this_o while_n find_v out_o none_o themselves_o but_o still_o continue_v advise_v the_o king_n to_o put_v that_o upon_o we_o which_o after_o many_o debate_n be_v find_v to_o be_v impossible_a and_o that_o the_o king_n shall_v always_o have_v at_o his_o elbow_n person_n ready_a to_o remember_v he_o constant_o to_o make_v his_o limitation_n which_o in_o all_o appearance_n must_v tend_v to_o the_o final_a destruction_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o body_n there_o to_o mind_v he_o of_o propose_v some_o expedient_n to_o prevent_v it_o only_o in_o general_a word_n of_o which_o no_o use_n can_v be_v make_v according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o three_o successive_a parliament_n the_o limitation_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o popish_a interest_n be_v plain_a intelligible_a and_o practicable_a i_o hope_v his_o majesty_n against_o the_o next_o occasion_n will_v require_v they_o that_o have_v so_o advise_v he_o to_o make_v the_o expedient_n and_o other_o way_n to_o secure_v the_o protestant_a religion_n as_o plain_a and_o practicable_a that_o so_o we_o may_v see_v if_o the_o security_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v design_v in_o good_a earnest_n by_o such_o adviser_n which_o i_o can_v believe_v because_o what_o they_o propose_v be_v in_o my_o opinion_n a_o contradiction_n in_o itself_o without_o the_o exclusion-bill_n there_o can_v be_v no_o expedient_a but_o what_o will_v leave_v we_o in_o that_o miserable_a condition_n of_o have_v first_o or_o last_o a_o contest_v with_o our_o lawful_a king_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o set_v up_o a_o power_n to_o oppose_v he_o but_o by_o put_v a_o kind_n of_o supreme_a authority_n in_o the_o parliament_n with_o a_o power_n to_o oppose_v as_o well_o by_o make_v war_n as_o law_n which_o may_v prove_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o monarchial_a government_n the_o say_a trust_n or_o power_n without_o the_o exclusion_n bill_n be_v not_o to_o be_v repose_v in_o the_o next_o heir_n or_o any_o single_a person_n lest_o he_o shall_v die_v before_o he_o come_v to_o have_v the_o power_n in_o he_o or_o utter_o refuse_v to_o act_v if_o he_o shall_v live_v to_o have_v a_o right_n by_o virtue_n of_o such_o a_o settlement_n to_o administer_v the_o government_n in_o such_o a_o case_n there_o will_v be_v no_o lawful_a power_n lodge_v any_o where_o else_o to_o oppose_v such_o a_o king_n and_o there_o must_v not_o be_v a_o inter_fw-la regnum_fw-la by_o this_o short_a account_n you_o may_v see_v what_o difficulty_n all_o expedient_n will_v be_v liable_a too_o and_o may_v conclude_v that_o those_o that_o advise_v the_o king_n to_o make_v this_o limitation_n do_v intend_v it_o as_o a_o expedient_a to_o make_v the_o endeavour_n of_o parliament_n ineffectual_a and_o to_o bring_v in_o popery_n and_o if_o you_o have_v offer_v at_o such_o expedient_n as_o i_o have_v mention_v as_o the_o last_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v arraign_v for_o omnipotent_a and_o arbitrary_a so_o will_v this_o with_o some_o worse_a character_n as_o have_v attempt_v to_o destroy_v the_o monarchical_a government_n that_o if_o possible_a the_o king_n and_o people_n may_v be_v put_v out_o of_o love_n with_o parliament_n but_o sir_n though_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o thing_n be_v thus_o out_o of_o order_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o be_v want_v in_o our_o duty_n but_o give_v such_o a_o answer_n to_o his_o majesty_n as_o may_v if_o possible_a create_v in_o he_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o his_o house_n and_o satisfy_v he_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n and_o that_o all_o other_o act_n of_o grace_n will_v but_o serve_v to_o fatten_v we_o for_o the_o slaughter_n of_o our_o enemy_n the_o last_o part_n of_o this_o speech_n i_o believe_v be_v his_o majesty_n own_o he_o seem_v willing_a to_o know_v what_o you_o expect_v from_o he_o and_o what_o you_o will_v do_v for_o he_o which_o i_o think_v be_v a_o fair_a proposition_n to_o come_v to_o a_o understanding_n and_o although_o it_o be_v not_o good_a manner_n to_o offer_v to_o make_v a_o bargain_n with_o his_o majesty_n but_o as_o in_o bargain_n there_o be_v a_o quid_fw-la and_o pro_fw-la quo_fw-la so_o in_o this_o and_o i_o think_v we_o need_v not_o fear_v talk_v of_o money_n in_o this_o house_n be_v all_o seem_v resolve_v to_o give_v it_o free_o if_o we_o can_v be_v secure_v of_o our_o religion_n but_o not_o otherways_o and_o therefore_o i_o humble_o conceive_v you_o may_v according_o express_v yourselves_o plain_a in_o your_o address_n w._n g._n mr._n speaker_n sir_n if_o you_o do_v not_o represent_v all_o your_o

therefore_o i_o will_v advise_v you_o not_o to_o omit_v any_o one_o grievance_n you_o expect_v any_o ●e_n ready_a in_o and_o i_o be_o for_o enumerate_v all_o your_o grievance_n in_o the_o address_n which_o have_v be_v late_o debate_v and_o i_o do_v admire_v no_o body_n do_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o stand_a army_n which_o if_o not_o reduce_v to_o such_o a_o number_n as_o may_v be_v convenient_a for_o guard_n and_o so_o limit_v that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v increase_v unless_o in_o case_n of_o a_o rebellion_n or_o a_o invasion_n all_o your_o law_n may_v signify_v nothing_o and_o i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v in_o the_o make_n of_o such_o general_a offer_n of_o money_n for_o if_o you_o do_v you_o will_v hear_v in_o time_n that_o the_o fleet_n need_v one_o million_o allyance_n as_o much_o more_o and_o tangier_n though_o i_o think_v not_o worth_a keep_n little_o less_o a_o demand_n of_o three_o million_o ground_v on_o your_o general_a promise_n will_v perplex_v the_o house_n how_o to_o come_v off_o with_o that_o reputation_n which_o a_o house_n of_o commons_o ought_v to_o preserve_v with_o the_o king_n i_o know_v not_o how_o such_o a_o promise_n may_v be_v turn_v upon_o you_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_o either_o for_o demand_v more_o or_o promise_v less_o sir_n e._n h._n mr._n speaker_n sir_n i_o be_o very_o unwilling_a to_o have_v this_o parliament_n break_v yet_o i_o can_v agree_v that_o to_o prevent_v it_o we_o shall_v offer_v so_o much_o and_o demand_v so_o little_a as_o have_v be_v mention_v have_v we_o not_o sit_v two_o day_n in_o a_o committee_n to_o examine_v the_o dangerous_a estate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o order_v several_a good_a bill_n to_o be_v bring_v in_o thereupon_o for_o the_o secure_v we_o against_o popery_n and_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o shall_v we_o now_o the_o next_o day_n lie_v all_o those_o bill_n aside_o and_o be_v content_a with_o the_o exclusion-bill_n only_o which_o i_o think_v will_v be_v worth_a nothing_o unless_o you_o can_v get_v more_o and_o therefore_o though_o to_o obtain_v they_o you_o speak_v plain_a english_a and_o mention_v what_o sum_n you_o intend_v to_o give_v i_o think_v you_o will_v be_v safe_a to_o offer_v money_n in_o general_a word_n without_o declare_v what_o or_o enumerate_v your_o bill_n g._n v._n mr._n speaker_n sir_n i_o can_v agree_v with_o this_o worthy_a member_n for_o it_o will_v take_v up_o some_o day_n debate_n to_o agree_v what_o some_o be_v necessary_a to_o supply_v his_o majesty_n occasion_n and_o what_o sum_n to_o express_v and_o it_o may_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n as_o the_o case_n stand_v with_o we_o unless_o we_o be_v sure_a his_o majesty_n will_v find_v out_o some_o way_n to_o bring_v the_o exclusion_n bill_n about_o again_o then_o indeed_o we_o may_v come_v to_o particular_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n a_o promise_n in_o general_a word_n may_v be_v sufficient_a and_o save_v

oppose_v these_o great_a enemy_n by_o some_o other_o law_n as_o when_o a_o house_n be_v on_o fire_n we_o make_v use_v of_o bucket_n and_o tub_n for_o cast_v of_o water_n until_o the_o great_a engine_n can_v be_v get_v but_o i_o will_v move_v you_o to_o be_v cautious_a what_o you_o do_v for_o i_o be_o afraid_a that_o the_o design_n of_o put_v you_o upon_o find_v out_o expedient_n be_v not_o in_o order_n to_o have_v any_o thing_n do_v that_o be_v effectual_a against_o popery_n but_o in_o order_n to_o have_v you_o offer_v at_o something_o that_o may_v purchase_v a_o disrepute_n on_o the_o house_n and_o give_v your_o enemy_n a_o advantage_n to_o pursue_v their_o design_n of_o break_v we_o by_o allege_v that_o you_o aim_v at_o law_n that_o will_v overturn_v the_o government_n for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o full_o persuade_v that_o this_o be_v the_o design_n of_o those_o that_o have_v put_v the_o king_n so_o often_o to_o declare_v against_o alter_v the_o succession_n and_o to_o recommend_v other_o way_n and_o that_o offer_v at_o what_o you_o will_v if_o it_o be_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v like_a to_o prove_v strong_a enough_o to_o secure_v we_o against_o popery_n that_o you_o will_v see_v the_o house_n put_v off_o before_o it_o come_v to_o any_o perfection_n and_o that_o in_o time_n it_o will_v be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o arraign_v the_o proceed_v of_o parliament_n and_o to_o persuade_v the_o people_n that_o this_o house_n do_v attempt_v to_o alter_v the_o government_n by_o such_o and_o such_o bill_n and_o so_o by_o degree_n possess_v the_o people_n that_o parliament_n be_v either_o dangerous_a or_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o government_n that_o if_o possible_a they_o may_v be_v well_o content_a to_o be_v without_o they_o sir_n i_o be_o afraid_a that_o the_o popish_a party_n be_v more_o serious_a in_o this_o design_n than_o we_o be_v aware_a of_o and_o that_o next_o to_o the_o great_a endeavour_n they_o have_v use_v for_o many_o year_n to_o keep_v on_o our_o division_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n the_o next_o great_a artifice_n which_o they_o depend_v on_o be_v the_o infuse_v into_o the_o people_n the_o dislike_n of_o parliament_n for_o they_o well_o know_v that_o popery_n can_v never_o be_v establish_v in_o this_o nation_n as_o long_o as_o parliament_n be_v permit_v to_o sit_v and_o act._n therefore_o though_o i_o know_v it_o be_v below_o a_o house_n of_o commons_o to_o mind_n every_o little_a discourse_n yet_o i_o think_v if_o we_o conclude_v that_o this_o powerful_a party_n among_o their_o many_o design_n have_v this_o for_o one_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o countermine_v it_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v we_o can_v well_o comprehend_v what_o a_o bill_n of_o association_n will_v be_v before_o it_o be_v draw_v up_o nor_o what_o difficulty_n may_v be_v find_v in_o the_o contrive_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o think_v no_o great_a debate_n will_v be_v necessary_a about_o it_o before_o such_o a_o bill_n will_v be_v bring_v in_o and_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v find_v more_o likely_a to_o be_v serviceable_a in_o case_n the_o papist_n be_v banish_v and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v a_o bill_n for_o banishment_n of_o all_o the_o considerable_a bapist_o out_o of_o england_n may_v be_v very_o nacessary_a and_o if_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o we_o endeavour_v to_o secure_v ourselves_o against_o poperty_n we_o do_v not_o also_o do_v something_o to_o prevent_v arbitrary_a power_n it_o will_v be_v too_o little_a purpose_n for_o the_o one_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o give_v a_o hand_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o other_o and_o i_o think_v nothing_o can_v prevent_v that_o or_o rather_o both_o better_o than_o frequent_a parliament_n and_o therefore_o i_o humble_o move_v you_o that_o a_o bill_n for_o secure_v frequent_a parliament_n may_v be_v take_v into_o your_o consideration_n sir_n g._n h._n sir_n i_o think_v you_o be_v well_o adviced_a that_o the_o way_n to_o secure_v ourselves_o effectual_o against_o popery_n be_v to_o secure_v ourselves_o also_o against_o arbitrary_a government_n and_o that_o the_o have_v of_o frequent_a parliament_n be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o secure_a both_o and_o therefore_o sir_n i_o think_v you_o do_v well_o to_o move_v the_o house_n that_o a_o committee_n be_v appoint_v to_o inspect_v what_o old_a law_n there_o be_v for_o enforce_v the_o sit_v of_o frequent_a parliament_n that_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v find_v deficient_a some_o new_a law_n may_v be_v make_v for_o that_o purpose_n i_o do_v agree_v that_o a_o bill_n for_o banish_v out_o of_o england_n the_o most_o considerable_a papist_n may_v do_v well_o but_o i_o hope_v sir_n that_o if_o you_o banish_v the_o man_n you_o will_v banish_v some_o woman_n too_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o some_o of_o that_o sex_n have_v be_v great_a instrument_n in_o bring_v about_o our_o ruin_n and_o if_o in_o time_n you_o will_v consider_v how_o to_o prevent_v the_o royal_a family_n marry_v popish_a woman_n it_o will_v be_v of_o great_a security_n hereafter_o for_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o late_a queen_n mother_n zeal_n for_o her_o religion_n be_v not_o only_o a_o great_a occasion_n among_o many_o other_o of_o the_o misery_n that_o befall_v we_o in_o forty_o one_o but_o the_o great_a cause_n of_o all_o our_o misery_n now_o by_o pervert_v the_o duke_n from_o his_o religion_n as_o be_v report_v and_o may_v reasonable_o be_v believe_v if_o we_o conclude_v that_o she_o have_v that_o motherly_a care_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o her_o child_n as_o other_o mother_n usual_o have_v for_o according_a to_o her_o opinion_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v obtain_v out_o of_o the_o pale_a of_o that_o church_n and_o no_o man_n can_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o protestant_a interest_n have_v be_v much_o prejudice_v by_o his_o majesty_n marry_v a_o princess_n of_o that_o religion_n for_o we_o have_v plain_o see_v since_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o plot_n how_o some_o of_o the_o most_o material_a jesuit_n and_o popish_a instrument_n have_v shelter_v themselves_o under_o her_o royal_a protection_n and_o how_o they_o have_v help_v to_o carry_v on_o the_o plot_n by_o be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o pretend_v they_o have_v her_o patronage_n and_o by_o abuse_v her_o authority_n but_o more_o especial_o by_o the_o duke_n marry_v the_o princess_n of_o modena_n because_o of_o her_o near_a relation_n to_o the_o pope_n and_o cardinal_n all_o which_o be_v plain_o foresee_v by_o that_o parliament_n which_o meet_v a_o little_a before_o that_o marriage_n in_o 1673._o and_o therefore_o they_o make_v a_o address_n to_o his_o majesty_n represent_v the_o say_v ill_a consequence_n desire_v he_o not_o to_o permit_v it_o because_o it_o will_v tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n but_o their_o endeavour_n be_v defeat_v by_o that_o party_n as_o we_o may_v guess_v see_v we_o find_v so_o much_o use_v of_o her_o name_n in_o colemans_n letter_n for_o well_o may_v they_o who_o have_v overrule_v in_o so_o many_o affair_n as_o have_v be_v instance_a in_o this_o house_n have_v a_o influence_n also_o in_o this_o that_o so_o that_o party_n may_v not_o want_v so_o useful_a a_o instrument_n in_o so_o great_a a_o station_n and_o so_o the_o parliament_n address_v miscarry_v but_o that_o they_o have_v either_o a_o good_a judgement_n or_o prophetic_a spirit_n i_o hope_v will_v never_o miscarry_v but_o remain_v upon_o record_n and_o unless_o you_o do_v believe_v that_o these_o lady_n be_v less_o compassionate_a than_o other_o usual_o be_v how_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o their_o principle_n consider_v but_o sir_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o far_o about_o it_o but_o suppose_v it_o may_v be_v worth_a your_o consideration_n in_o due_a time_n in_o the_o interim_n i_o agree_v for_o the_o bill_n of_o banishment_n and_o association_n too_o i._o b._n sir_n i_o retain_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o a_o association-bill_n notwithstanding_o what_o have_v be_v say_v as_o to_o the_o weakness_n it_o may_v receive_v from_o our_o unhappy_a division_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n and_o interest_n too_o much_o promote_v by_o some_o of_o our_o clergy_n for_o sir_n when_o i_o consider_v how_o the_o laudean_a principle_n as_o to_o raise_v of_o money_n without_o parliament_n in_o the_o late_a time_n infect_v most_o of_o our_o clergy_n so_o as_o that_o they_o not_o only_o preach_v up_o the_o king_n absolute_a authority_n over_o man_n property_n but_o brand_v with_o the_o title_n of_o rebel_n and_o condemn_v to_o hell_n those_o that_o offer_v to_o argue_v against_o it_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o one_o or_o two_o bishop_n to_o give_v measure_n or_o direction_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o
