the_o ruin_n of_o many_o family_n in_o their_o estate_n and_o liberty_n second_o they_o have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v great_a deceiver_n of_o the_o subject_n not_o only_o by_o adulterate_a and_o

first_o that_o to_o monopolise_v they_o do_v take_v their_o patent_n and_o this_o offence_n they_o translate_v upon_o the_o first_o sope-patentees_a second_o that_o by_o monopolise_v they_o have_v be_v great_a and_o barbarous_a oppressor_n this_o offence_n they_o charge_v upon_o the_o king_n majesty_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n three_o that_o by_o several_a way_n they_o have_v be_v great_a deceiver_n and_o this_o offence_n they_o also_o unjust_o translate_v upon_o the_o ruin_a and_o oppress_v soap-boilers_a the_o three_o and_o last_o thing_n which_o they_o be_v eminent_o guilty_a of_o be_v this_o that_o by_o lie_v they_o deceive_v the_o king_n majesty_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n &_o now_o by_o lie_v they_o have_v endeavour_v to_o deceive_v the_o honourable_a and_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n not_o only_o by_o this_o vain_a and_o deceive_a petition_n but_o also_o by_o their_o proposition_n for_o the_o excise_n of_o soap_n all_o which_o wickedness_n together_o with_o the_o several_a aggravation_n of_o these_o innovator_n of_o our_o law_n and_o liberty_n offence_n you_o have_v demonstrate_v in_o the_o ensue_a discourse_n i_o can_v give_v you_o

the_o city_n nay_o may_v i_o not_o say_v it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v with_o some_o in_o the_o parliament_n that_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o patentee_n suffering_n by_o the_o cruel_a oppression_n of_o the_o first_o sope-projector_n for_o which_o they_o have_v already_o satisfy_v themselves_o have_v swallow_v up_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o cruel_a oppress_v of_o other_o that_o the_o false_a sense_n

this_o three_o general_a head_n and_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o answer_n in_o these_o two_o particular_n the_o answer_n to_o those_o thing_n express_v 1._o that_o those_o person_n which_o these_o patentee_n do_v suppress_v from_o boil_a soap_n do_v boil_v better_a soap_n than_o the_o patentee_n and_o do_v sell_v to_o the_o subject_n at_o cheap_a rate_n this_o i_o can_v prove_v by_o multitude_n of_o evidence_n and_o reason_n tell_v every_o rational_a man_n that_o it_o have_v be_v neither_o policy_n or_o profit_n for_o they_o to_o have_v boil_a base_a soap_n the_o argument_n to_o prove_v this_o be_v these_o two_o 1._o because_o that_o man_n buy_v of_o soap_n prohibit_v by_o these_o patentee_n they_o do_v endanger_v not_o only_o the_o seize_v of_o the_o say_a soap_n but_o also_o the_o be_v much_o vex_v and_o trouble_v by_o the_o cruel_a and_o illegal_a persecution_n of_o their_o illegal_a court_n for_o what_o soap_n be_v make_v by_o any_o that_o be_v not_o patentees_n be_v sound_n be_v seize_v whether_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o maker_n or_o buyer_n of_o it_o 2._o because_o that_o when_o man_n may_v buy_v soap_n free_o that_o will_v not_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v defraud_v and_o run_v a_o danger_n too_o this_o be_v sufficient_a for_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o and_o second_o particular_n and_o do_v declare_v that_o as_o this_o be_v that_o false_a pretence_n by_o which_o they_o deceive_v the_o king_n and_o gain_v their_o patent_n so_o it_o be_v their_o vain_a word_n to_o deceive_v the_o parliament_n their_o end_n undoubted_o be_v to_o divert_v they_o from_o do_v justice_n by_o render_v the_o oppress_a soap-boilers_a odious_a to_o the_o parliament_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o be_v deceiver_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n by_o base_a soap_n now_o they_o be_v

have_v a_o right_a to_o boil_v as_o they_o have_v allege_v for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o lord_n warrant_n be_v not_o warrant_n command_v these_o patentee_n to_o seize_v soap_n against_o their_o will_n as_o they_o do_v affirm_v but_o be_v warrant_n of_o assistance_n by_o these_o patentee_n sue_v for_o and_o by_o they_o procure_v of_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o same_o self_n pretence_n

three_o general_a head_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o view_n of_o the_o lord_n warrant_v by_o they_o obtain_v whereas_o divers_a great_a abuse_n and_o deceit_n have_v be_v and_o be_v due_o commit_v

be_v their_o expense_n of_o one_o thousand_o pound_n be_v prosecute_v by_o law_n the_o answer_n be_v threefold_a 1._o the_o prosecution_n be_v a_o just_a and_o legal_a prosecution_n for_o recovery_n of_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o several_a damage_n and_o loss_n sustain_v by_o these_o cruel_a projector_n barbarous_a prosecution_n of_o their_o illegal_a patent_n a_o just_a mean_n of_o relief_n against_o and_o unjust_a oppression_n which_o have_v the_o stamp_n of_o the_o parliament_n approbation_n for_o its_o vindication_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o this_o prosecution_n because_o that_o these_o patentee_n will_v not_o make_v restitution_n without_o suit_n of_o law_n unless_o they_o will_v accept_v of_o that_o satisfaction_n which_o they_o will_v give_v they_o which_o be_v
