A37299	A word without doors concerning the bill for sucession	J. D.	1679 (1679)	Wing D49; ESTC R204396	8,789	4

a_o word_n without_o door_n concern_v the_o bill_n for_o succession_n sir_n i_o be_o very_o sensible_a of_o the_o great_a honour_n you_o be_v please_v to_o do_v i_o in_o your_o last_o which_o i_o receive_v immediate_o after_o our_o late_a unhappy_a dissolution_n but_o can_v have_v wish_v you_o will_v have_v lay_v your_o command_n on_o some_o more_o able_a person_n to_o have_v give_v you_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o matter_n you_o there_o propose_v relate_v to_o the_o duke_n who_o you_o seem_v to_o insinuate_v be_v like_o if_o the_o parliament_n have_v continue_v to_o have_v receive_v hard_a measure_n i_o must_v ingenuous_o confess_v to_o you_o i_o be_v not_o long_o since_o perfect_o of_o your_o opinion_n and_o think_v it_o the_o high_a injustice_n imaginable_a for_o any_o prince_n to_o be_v debar_v of_o his_o native_a right_n of_o succession_n upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o but_o upon_o a_o more_o mature_a deliberation_n and_o enquiry_n i_o find_v my_o error_n proceed_v principal_o from_o the_o false_a notion_n i_o have_v take_v up_o of_o government_n itself_o and_o from_o my_o ignorance_n of_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o community_n of_o man_n in_o all_o age_n whenever_o self-preservation_n and_o necessity_n of_o their_o affair_n oblige_v they_o to_o declare_v their_o opinion_n in_o case_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o which_o the_o follow_a accident_n i_o shall_v relate_v to_o you_o do_v very_o much_o contribute_v my_o occasion_n oblige_v i_o one_o day_n to_o attend_v the_o come_n of_o a_o friend_n in_o a_o coffee-house_n near_o charing-cross_n there_o happen_v to_o sit_v at_o the_o same_o table_n with_o i_o two_o ingenious_a gentleman_n who_o according_a to_o the_o frankness_n of_o conversation_n now_o use_v in_o the_o town_n begin_v a_o discourse_n on_o the_o same_o subject_a you_o desire_v to_o be_v more_o particular_o inform_v in_o and_o have_v extol_v the_o late_a house_n of_o commons_o as_o the_o best_a number_n of_o man_n that_o have_v ever_o sit_v within_o those_o wall_n and_o that_o no_o house_n have_v ever_o more_o vigorous_o maintain_v and_o assert_v english_a liberty_n and_o protestant_n religion_n than_o they_o have_v do_v as_o far_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o come_v before_o they_o and_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n will_v admit_v to_o all_o which_o i_o very_o ready_o and_o hearty_o assent_v they_o then_o add_v that_o the_o great_a wisdom_n and_o zeal_n of_o that_o house_n have_v appear_v in_o nothing_o more_o than_o in_o order_v a_o bill_n to_o be_v bring_v in_o for_o debar_v the_o duke_n of_o y._n from_o inherit_v the_o crown_n a_o law_n they_o affirm_v to_o be_v the_o most_o just_a and_o reasonable_a in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o only_a proper_a remedy_n to_o establish_v this_o nation_n on_o a_o true_a and_o solid_a interest_n both_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o present_a and_o future_a time_n to_o which_o i_o can_v not_o but_o reply_v that_o i_o beg_v their_o pardon_n if_o i_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o opinion_n and_o do_v believe_v that_o how_o honest_o soever_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o may_v intend_v in_o that_o matter_n yet_o that_o the_o point_n of_o succession_n be_v so_o sacred_a a_o thing_n and_o of_o so_o high_a a_o nature_n that_o it_o be_v not_o subject_v to_o their_o cognizance_n that_o monarchy_n be_v of_o divine_a right_n that_o prince_n succeed_v by_o nature_n and_o generation_n only_o and_o not_o by_o authority_n admission_n or_o approbation_n of_o the_o people_n and_o consequent_o that_o neither_o the_o merit_n or_o demerit_n of_o their_o person_n nor_o the_o different_a influence_n from_o thence_o upon_o the_o people_n be_v to_o be_v respect_v or_o have_v in_o consideration_n but_o the_o commonwealth_n ought_v to_o obey_v and_o submit_v to_o the_o next_o heir_n without_o any_o further_a inquisition_n and_o if_o he_o prove_v a_o worthy_a virtuous_a and_o just_a prince_n it_o be_v a_o great_a happiness_n if_o unjust_a barbarous_a and_o tyrannical_a there_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n but_o prayer_n patience_n and_o a_o entire_a submission_n to_o so_o difficult_a a_o dispensation_n of_o god_n providence_n i_o have_v no_o soon_o end_v my_o discourse_n but_o one_o of_o the_o gentleman_n that_o be_v the_o most_o serious_a in_o the_o company_n see_v i_o a_o young_a man_n grave_o reply_v that_o he_o can_v not_o but_o be_v extreme_o concern_v to_o hear_v that_o such_o pernicious_a notion_n against_o all_o lawful_a government_n have_v be_v teach_v in_o the_o world_n that_o he_o believe_v they_o be_v in_o i_o pure_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o university-education_n and_o that_o it_o have_v be_v my_o misfortune_n to_o have_v have_v a_o very_a high_a churchman_n for_o my_o tutor_n who_o have_v endeavour_v as_o it_o be_v their_o constant_a practice_n to_o all_o young_a gentleman_n under_o their_o care_n to_o debauch_v i_o with_o such_o principle_n as_o will_v enslave_v my_o mind_n to_o their_o hierarchy_n and_o the_o monarchical_a part_n of_o the_o government_n without_o any_o regard_n at_o all_o to_o the_o aristocratical_a and_o popular_a and_o that_o fat_a parsonage_n prebendship_n deanery_n and_o episcopal_n see_v be_v the_o certain_a and_o constant_a reward_n of_o such_o service_n that_o the_o place_n we_o be_v in_o be_v a_o little_a to_o public_a for_o discourse_n of_o this_o nature_n but_o if_o i_o will_v accept_v of_o a_o bottle_n of_o wine_n at_o the_o next_o tavern_n he_o will_v undertake_v to_o give_v i_o just_a measure_n add_v it_o be_v pity_n so_o hopeful_a a_o gentleman_n shall_v be_v taint_v with_o bad_a principle_n my_o friend_n come_v in_o at_o the_o same_o time_n prove_v to_o be_v one_o of_o their_o particular_a acquaintance_n and_o both_o he_o and_o i_o ready_o comply_v with_o so_o generous_a a_o motion_n we_o have_v no_o soon_o drink_v a_o glass_n round_o but_o the_o old_a gentleman_n be_v please_v to_o renew_v his_o discourse_n and_o say_v it_o be_v undoubted_o true_a that_o the_o inclination_n of_o mankind_n to_o live_v in_o company_n from_o whence_o come_v town_n city_n and_o commonwealth_n do_v proceed_v of_o nature_n and_o consequent_o of_o god_n the_o author_n of_o nature_n so_o likewise_o government_n and_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o magistrate_n in_o general_n which_o do_v necessary_o flow_v from_o the_o live_n together_o in_o society_n be_v also_o of_o nature_n and_o ordain_v by_o god_n for_o the_o common_a good_a of_o mankind_n but_o that_o the_o particular_a species_n and_o form_n of_o this_o or_o that_o government_n in_o this_o or_o that_o manner_n to_o have_v many_o few_o or_o one_o governor_n or_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v this_o or_o that_o authority_n more_o or_o less_o for_o a_o long_o or_o a_o short_a time_n or_o whether_o ordinary_o by_o succession_n or_o by_o election_n all_o these_o thing_n he_o say_v be_v ordain_v and_o diversify_v by_o the_o particular_a positive_a law_n of_o every_o country_n and_o be_v not_o establish_v either_o by_o law_n natural_a or_o divine_a but_o leave_v by_o god_n unto_o every_o nation_n and_o country_n to_o pitch_v upon_o what_o form_n of_o government_n they_o shall_v think_v most_o proper_a to_o promote_v the_o common_a good_a of_o the_o whole_a and_o best_a adapt_v to_o the_o nature_n constitution_n and_o other_o circumstance_n of_o the_o people_n which_z according_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n may_v be_v alter_v or_o amend_v in_o any_o of_o its_o part_n by_o the_o mutual_a consent_n of_o the_o governor_n and_o govern_v whenever_o they_o shall_v see_v reasonable_a cause_n so_o to_o do_v all_o which_o appear_v plain_o both_o from_o the_o diversity_n of_o government_n extant_a in_o the_o world_n and_o by_o the_o same_o nation_n live_v sometime_o under_o one_o sort_n of_o government_n and_o sometime_o under_o another_o so_o we_o see_v god_n himself_o permit_v his_o peculiar_a people_n the_o jew_n to_o live_v under_o divers_a form_n of_o government_n as_o first_o under_o patriarch_n then_o under_o captain_n then_o under_o judge_n then_o under_o high-priest_n next_o under_o king_n and_o then_o under_o captain_n and_o high-priest_n again_o until_o they_o be_v conquer_v by_o the_o roman_n who_o themselves_o also_o first_o live_v under_o king_n and_o then_o consul_n who_o authority_n they_o afterward_o limit_v by_o a_o senate_n by_o add_v tribune_n of_o the_o people_n and_o in_o extraordinary_a emergency_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n they_o be_v govern_v by_o dictator_n and_o last_o of_o all_o by_o emperor_n so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a no_o magistrate_n have_v his_o particular_a government_n or_o a_o interest_n of_o succession_n in_o it_o by_o any_o institution_n of_o nature_n but_o only_o by_o the_o particular_a constitution_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n within_o itself_o and_o as_o the_o kind_n of_o government_n be_v different_a so_o also_o be_v the_o measure_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n in_o
