A34135	The Common interest of king & kingdom in this confus'd conjuncture, truly stated, and to consist in the speedy calling of a free Parliament		1688 (1688)	Wing C5569; ESTC R20729	6,362	10

the_o common_a interest_n of_o king_n &_o kingdom_n in_o this_o confuse_a conjuncture_n true_o state_v and_o to_o consist_v in_o the_o speedy_a call_v of_o a_o free_a parliament_n it_o be_v a_o frequent_a observation_n upon_o polemical_a debate_n whether_o they_o be_v in_o the_o philosophical_a speculation_n of_o the_o school_n or_o what_o be_v almost_o the_o same_o in_o the_o scholastic_a dispute_n among_o the_o school-divines_a that_o when_o the_o disputant_n come_v to_o understand_v one_o another_o they_o be_v soon_o agree_v this_o though_o but_o a_o theorem_fw-la among_o the_o scholar_n may_v pass_v for_o a_o good_a maxim_n among_o politician_n too_o and_o in_o this_o juncture_n very_o applicable_a to_o our_o present_a perplexity_n and_o the_o difference_n and_o disagreement_n that_o the_o state_n lie_v under_o it_o have_v be_v agree_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o a_o parliament_n can_v only_o compose_v the_o distraction_n of_o the_o people_n and_o yet_o some_o people_n seem_v as_o much_o distract_v at_o the_o apprehension_n of_o this_o parliament_n and_o perhaps_o for_o that_o reason_n have_v influence_v the_o king_n so_o long_o from_o call_v any_o this_o certain_o be_v no_o kindness_n to_o the_o crown_n to_o reduce_v it_o to_o those_o extremity_n which_o with_o more_o honour_n to_o itself_o and_o safety_n to_o they_o it_o can_v have_v grant_v before_o for_o as_o necessity_n in_o matter_n of_o right_a be_v say_v to_o have_v no_o law_n so_o in_o respect_n of_o favour_n it_o will_v have_v no_o thanks_o too_o and_o this_o i_o urge_v only_o as_o a_o error_n that_o have_v be_v observable_a in_o our_o late_a council_n which_o i_o be_o persuade_v the_o inclination_n of_o the_o king_n will_v have_v otherwise_o rec●ityed_v and_o for_o which_o the_o unhappy_a adviser_n will_v hardly_o have_v reason_n to_o thank_v themselves_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o declaration_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n have_v no_o other_o pretence_n but_o the_o
