great_a opinion_n of_o his_o virtue_n and_o probity_n be_v admit_v king_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o realm_n his_o elder_a brother_n robert_n duke_n of_o normandy_n be_v then_o in_o the_o war_n

the_o kingdom_n for_o the_o quiet_v of_o which_o there_o be_v a_o parliament_n hold_v at_o wallingford_n which_o pass_v a_o law_n that_o stephen_n shall_v be_v king_n only_o during_o his_o life_n

assert_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o i_o have_v say_v amount_v to_o this_o that_o government_n in_o general_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o consequent_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o that_o the_o different_a form_n of_o government_n whether_o to_o reside_v in_o one_o few_o or_o many_o or_o whether_o it_o shall_v be_v continue_v by_o succession_n or_o by_o election_n together_o with_o the_o different_a measure_n and_o limitation_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n in_o governor_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n in_o several_a country_n all_o these_o thing_n i_o say_v be_v ordain_v by_o and_o pure_o depend_v upon_o positive_a and_o humane_a law_n from_o whence_o it_o will_v necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o same_o humane_a authority_n reside_v in_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o here_o in_o england_n which_o give_v be_v to_o those_o law_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o community_n be_v superintendent_n over_o they_o and_o both_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o make_v any_o addition_n to_o or_o alteration_n of_o they_o when_o the_o public_a good_a and_o welfare_n of_o the_o nation_n shall_v require_v it_o unless_o you_o will_v admit_v that_o a_o humane_a authority_n establish_v any_o thing_n intentional_o for_o the_o common_a good_a of_o the_o society_n which_o in_o tract_n of_o time_n by_o reason_n of_o unforeseen_a circumstance_n and_o emergency_n prove_v destructive_a of_o it_o have_v by_o that_o act_n conclude_v itself_o and_o make_v that_o accidental_a evil_n moral_a and_o unchangeable_a which_o to_o affirm_v be_v senseless_a and_o repugnant_a and_o now_o sir_n i_o hope_v by_o this_o time_n say_v the_o old_a gentleman_n you_o begin_v to_o think_v that_o the_o bill_n for_o disable_n the_o duke_n be_v not_o so_o unjust_a and_o unreasonable_a as_o be_v pretend_v and_o that_o the_o course_n of_o succession_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o same_o bottom_n with_o other_o civil_a constitution_n may_v likewise_o as_o just_o have_v be_v alter_v by_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o as_o any_o other_o law_n or_o custom_n whatever_o and_o here_o i_o may_v conclude_v but_o because_o a_o late_a pentionary_a pen_n have_v public_o arraign_v the_o wisdom_n loyalty_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o on_o the_o account_n of_o this_o bill_n i_o will_v ex_fw-la abundanti_fw-la add_v a_o word_n or_o two_o more_o to_o that_o particular_a whereupon_o he_o pluck_v a_o paper_n out_o of_o his_o pocket_n entitle_v great_a and_o weighty_a consideration_n relate_v to_o the_o duke_n and_o successor_n of_o the_o crown_n etc._n etc._n which_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v read_v unto_o we_o you_o see_v here_o say_v he_o the_o true_a temper_n of_o those_o man_n of_o who_o i_o first_o give_v you_o caution_n there_o never_o be_v a_o endeavour_n though_o in_o a_o legal_a and_o parliamentary_a way_n after_o any_o reformation_n either_o in_o church_n or_o state_n but_o the_o promoter_n of_o it_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v brand_v by_o they_o with_o the_o odions_a imputation_n of_o fanaticism_n and_o faction_n nay_o if_o the_o country-elector_n of_o parliament-man_n will_v not_o pitch_v upon_o such_o rake-hell_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o be_v usual_o propose_v by_o they_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_n make_v use_n of_o their_o freedom_n and_o conscience_n in_o choose_v able_a upright_a and_o deserve_a person_n and_o if_o good_a man_n thus_o choose_v do_v but_o according_a to_o their_o duty_n in_o the_o house_n inquire_v into_o public_a grievance_n pursue_v in_o a_o legal_a course_n notorious_a offender_n and_o consult_v and_o advise_v the_o security_n of_o the_o government_n and_o protestant_n religion_n the_o high_a churchman_n immediate_o swell_v and_o in_o passion_n tell_v you_o that_o all_o this_o proceed_v from_o the_o old_a phanatick-leven_n not_o yet_o wear_v out_o among_o the_o people_n that_o we_o be_v go_v back_o again_o to_o forty_o one_o and_o act_v over_o afresh_o the_o sin_n of_o

man_n in_o all_o age_n but_o enough_o of_o this_o in_o the_o next_o place_n pray_v observe_v how_o hypocritical_o the_o considerer_n put_v this_o question_n viz._n whether_o protestant_a religion_n be_v not_o settle_v in_o this_o nation_n by_o the_o same_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n that_o establish_a jeroboam_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n and_n then_o add_v whether_o we_o like_o that_o wicked_a king_n shall_v so_o far_o despair_v of_o god_n providence_n in_o preserve_v the_o work_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n as_o never_o to_o think_v it_o safe_a unless_o it_o be_v establish_v on_o the_o quicksand_n of_o our_o own_o wicked_a invention_n viz._n the_o bill_n against_o the_o duke_n and_o throughout_o his_o whole_a discourse_n he_o frequent_o call_v all_o care_n of_o preserve_v our_o religion_n a_o mistrust_n of_o god_n providence_n and_o on_o that_o score_n call_v out_o to_o the_o nation_n o_o you_o of_o little_a faith_n etc._n etc._n now_o i_o will_v allow_v he_o that_o the_o least_o evil_n be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v that_o the_o great_a and_o most_o important_a good_a may_v ensue_v but_o that_o the_o bill_n for_o disable_n the_o duke_n be_v high_o justifiable_a both_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o constitution_n of_o our_o government_n i_o think_v by_o my_o former_a discourse_n i_o have_v leave_v no_o room_n to_o doubt_v and_o the_o considerer_n have_v
