mighty_o that_o always_o show_v a_o uneasiness_n under_o his_o government_n and_o as_o much_o discountenance_v those_o who_o come_v to_o give_v he_o thanks_o for_o and_o be_v well_o please_v with_o what_o he_o do_v ay_o than_o the_o king_n will_v see_v that_o for_o his_o subject_n to_o be_v well_o please_v with_o his_o action_n be_v always_o a_o popish_a and_o arbitrary_a design_n but_o it_o

to_o divide_v the_o nation_n into_o faction_n and_o party_n but_o that_o petition_n have_v no_o such_o tendency_n it_o be_v true_a the_o petitioner_n begin_v before_o the_o addresser_n and_o have_v

not_o so_o great_a number_n as_o we_o have_v see_v not_o long_o since_o to_o one_o petition_n well_o say_v whig_n this_o be_v a_o swinger_n let_v the_o reader_n take_v notice_n this_o be_v a_o

i_o as_o follow_v that_o to_o give_v his_o majesty_n thanks_o for_o his_o late_a most_o gracious_a declaration_n be_v very_o avowable_a for_o my_o first_o reason_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o

a_o english_a man_n liberty_n one_o will_v think_v neither_o of_o these_o two_o proposition_n need_v any_o manner_n of_o proof_n but_o because_o those_o who_o will_v be_v think_v the_o preserver_n of_o our_o liberty_n be_v for_o betray_v they_o in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o particular_a where_o they_o run_v counter_a to_o their_o damnable_a design_n of_o which_o no_o doubt_n the_o next_o parliament_n will_v take_v notice_n i_o shall_v prove_v the_o second_o proposition_n from_o their_o own_o practice_n i_o mean_v petition_v for_o if_o i_o have_v not_o a_o liberty_n of_o judge_v what_o be_v a_o favour_n when_o receive_v à_fw-la fortiori_fw-la i_o have_v no_o liberty_n of_o judge_v what_o will_v be_v a_o favour_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v receive_v be_v then_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n therefore_o less_o capable_a of_o judge_v so_o that_o by_o consequence_n if_o they_o do_v except_v to_o what_o i_o have_v lay_v down_o a_o fortiori_fw-la they_o must_v exclude_v themselves_o the_o right_n of_o petition_v wherefore_o i_o may_v conclude_v if_o i_o do_v not_o dislike_v the_o king_n declaration_n because_o it_o be_v the_o king_n or_o because_o it_o be_v give_v with_o a_o intent_n to_o satisfy_v the_o mind_n of_o his_o subject_n but_o real_o do_v esteem_v it_o as_o a_o gracious_a favour_n notwithstanding_o these_o and_o such_o like_a weighty_a reason_n i_o may_v nay_o i_o be_o bind_v as_o appear_v by_o my_o first_o proposition_n to_o render_v his_o majesty_n all_o humble_a thanks_o wherefore_o in_o so_o do_v i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o break_v that_o i_o keep_v the_o law_n but_o i_o need_v not_o take_v this_o advantage_n that_o because_o i_o think_v the_o king_n declaration_n exact_v thanks_o therefore_o i_o may_v justify_v pay_v they_o for_o i_o may_v well_o stand_v the_o trial_n whether_o right_a reason_n do_v not_o call_v upon_o we_o to_o perform_v that_o respect_n as_o a_o duty_n and_o in_o order_n thereto_o i_o shall_v reduce_v the_o

call_v frequent_a parliament_n first_o his_o reason_n for_o dissolve_v two_o parliament_n the_o very_a name_n of_o this_o head_n be_v sufficient_a to_o baffle_v that_o blundr_a mistake_n of_o those_o that_o affirm_v that_o when_o we_o give_v his_o majesty_n thanks_o in_o general_a for_o his_o declaration_n we_o give_v he_o thanks_o for_o dissolve_v two_o parliament_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o dissolve_v and_o give_v reason_n for_o dissolve_v those_o dissolution_n be_v unquestionable_o justifiable_a by_o law_n afterward_o the_o king_n condescend_v to_o give_v we_o reason_n for_o what_o for_o do_v a_o thing_n which_o by_o law_n he_o may_v do_v this_o be_v certain_o more_o than_o his_o greatness_n need_v to_o have_v condescend_v to_o and_o therefore_o command_v our_o grateful_a return_n especial_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o end_n for_o what_o it_o be_v do_v which_o do_v full_o appear_v to_o be_v only_o for_o the_o quiet_a and_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o subject_n mind_n at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o malcontent_n be_v endeavour_v to_o possess_v the_o people_n with_o a_o needless_a fear_n and_o jealousy_n that_o these_o dissolution_n be_v in_o order_n to_o their_o utter_a ruin_n and_o destruction_n 2_o our_o thanks_o be_v due_a for_o his_o majesty_n gracious_a promise_n that_o he_o will_v govern_v according_a to_o law_n this_o grave_a mr._n thompson_n glad_a no_o doubt_n of_o the_o opportunity_n explode_v in_o a_o formal_a speech_n before_o the_o bench_n of_o the_o middle-temple_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o address_n carry_v on_o in_o that_o society_n say_v that_o gentleman_n a_o weighty_a reason_n true_o the_o king_n be_v bind_v by_o his_o coronation-oath_n to_o govern_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n therefore_o in_o so_o do_v he_o do_v but_o his_o duty_n and_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o thank_v any_o man_n for_o bare_o do_v his_o duty_n i_o can_v say_v these_o be_v the_o word_n but_o i_o be_o misinform_v if_o this_o be_v not_o the_o substance_n of_o mr._n thompson_n argument_n which_o in_o form_n be_v thus_o whenever_o a_o man_n do_v but_o his_o bare_a duty_n it_o be_v absurd_a to_o pay_v he_o thanks_o for_o so_o do_v but_o the_o king_n have_v do_v but_o his_o duty_n etc._n etc._n he_o have_v do_v well_o have_v he_o prove_v the_o major_a proposition_n it_o be_v but_o the_o bare_a

suffocate_v in_o a_o pit_n to_o ●end_n the_o utmost_a assistance_n to_o his_o relief_n it_o be_v but_o the_o bare_a duty_n of_o a_o father_n which_o be_v just_a the_o case_n to_o provide_v for_o and_o

can_v do_v otherwise_o than_o govern_v according_a to_o law_n this_o be_v downright_o confess_v they_o scare_v the_o people_n when_o there_o be_v no_o need_n for_o it_o three_o beyond_o all_o

it_o may_v well_o be_v presume_v those_o man_n be_v not_o in_o earnest_n when_o they_o seem_v hot_o and_o zealous_o to_o desire_v and_o now_o they_o have_v a_o gracious_a promise_n that_o their_o

the_o adverse_a party_n who_o also_o meet_v and_o i_o suppose_v too_o it_o be_v to_o try_v their_o own_o strength_n that_o we_o will_v huddle_n up_o a_o address_n and_o private_o get_v hand_n without_o propose_v the_o matter_n fair_o and_o public_o in_o the_o hall_n to_o this_o effect_n i_o have_v hear_v our_o party_n upbraid_v who_o still_o reply_v they_o design_v no_o such_o thing_n
