to_o your_o pleasure_n and_o judgement_n the_o motive_n i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o unto_o be_v four_o of_o either_o sort_n 1._o for_o my_o acceptance_n of_o it_o may_v be_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o service_n the_o greatness_n of_o the_o place_n which_o may_v sway_v much_o with_o some_o other_o but_o not_o with_o i_o who_o ambition_n be_v of_o a_o low_a stature_n i_o never_o affect_v great_a place_n it_o be_v sufficient_a honour_n to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o this_o honourable_a house_n i_o desire_v no_o further_o honour_n and_o if_o honour_v be_v in_o honorante_fw-la good_a action_n will_v render_v a_o man_n more_o honourable_a than_o the_o ceremony_n and_o pageantry_n of_o high_a place_n which_o may_v take_v with_o some_o of_o gay_a spirit_n more_o than_o it_o do_v with_o i_o 2._o the_o second_o motive_n for_o acceptance_n be_v the_o profit_n of_o the_o place_n and_o that_o be_v very_o considerable_a with_o most_o man_n i_o bless_v god_n he_o have_v give_v i_o mean_n convenient_a for_o i_o and_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v bless_v that_o to_o i_o and_o keep_v i_o from_o waste_v that_o which_o must_v be_v a_o provision_n for_o many_o child_n and_o to_o i_o mr._n speaker_n this_o be_v not_o so_o great_a a_o motive_n as_o it_o may_v be_v to_o other_o because_o those_o that_o know_v my_o course_n can_v testify_v that_o the_o benefit_n of_o my_o practice_n be_v more_o than_o the_o salary_n of_o this_o office_n though_o i_o acknowledge_v your_o bounty_n to_o your_o servant_n 3._o the_o three_o motive_n be_v the_o command_n which_o this_o great_a officer_n have_v over_o the_o person_n and_o fortune_n of_o man_n which_o be_v a_o please_a thing_n and_o much_o seek_v after_o by_o man_n in_o this_o world_n the_o spirit_n of_o domination_n be_v natural_a to_o we_o but_o sir_n in_o this_o i_o be_o of_o my_o lord_n of_o st._n alban_n judgement_n who_o hold_v that_o man_n in_o great_a place_n be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v command_n that_o

of_o the_o service_n which_o be_v to_o do_v right_a and_o justice_n to_o man_n to_o relieve_v the_o oppress_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o to_o serve_v you_o and_o my_o country_n which_o will_v be_v do_v by_o a_o due_a performance_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o this_o place_n and_o this_o to_o i_o especial_o at_o this_o time_n be_v the_o great_a and_o strong_a motive_n of_o all_o other_o yet_o give_v i_o leave_v sir_n on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o lay_v before_o you_o the_o motive_n for_o my_o refusal_n of_o this_o employment_n which_o in_o my_o humble_a opinion_n do_v far_o overballance_v the_o other_o 1._o the_o first_o of_o these_o motive_n be_v the_o trouble_n of_o the_o place_n which_o have_v the_o great_a and_o most_o constant_a labour_n in_o it_o of_o any_o other_o place_n in_o england_n this_o shop_n of_o justice_n must_v be_v always_o open_a nullus_fw-la recedat_fw-la a_o cancellaria_fw-la sine_fw-la remedio_fw-la the_o business_n of_o the_o chancery_n be_v certain_o more_o than_o of_o any_o other_o court_n the_o trouble_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o great_a and_o the_o burden_n the_o heavyer_n too_o heavy_a for_o i_o to_o bear_v it_o be_v trouble_n enough_o and_o no_o easy_a duty_n for_o one_o man_n to_o attend_v the_o service_n of_o this_o house_n it_o be_v more_o than_o double_v by_o be_v a_o commissioner_n of_o the_o great_a seal_n whereof_o i_o have_v some_o experience_n and_o it_o have_v bring_v i_o to_o be_v of_o the_o poet_n opinion_n beatus_fw-la ille_fw-la qui_fw-la procul_fw-la negotiis_fw-la a_o condition_n long_v for_o by_o i_o 2._o the_o second_o motive_n for_o my_o refusal_n be_v the_o danger_n of_o this_o employment_n through_o the_o envy_n of_o man_n more_o in_o these_o time_n than_o other_o and_o through_o the_o importance_n of_o the_o business_n in_o the_o which_o as_o in_o war_n non_fw-la licet_fw-la his_fw-la peccare_fw-la there_o will_v be_v watchman_n enough_o for_o one_o fail_v and_o one_o party_n almost_o in_o every_o

little_a danger_n 3._o the_o three_o motive_n be_v the_o difficulty_n of_o this_o employment_n some_o will_v labour_v to_o conceal_v or_o obscure_v the_o truth_n as_o much_o as_o eloquence_n learning_n and_o subtlety_n can_v invent_v and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o discern_v the_o clear_a truth_n through_o these_o shadow_n the_o judge_n of_o the_o common_a law_n have_v certain_a rule_n to_o guide_v they_o a_o keeper_n of_o the_o seal_n have_v nothing_o but_o his_o own_o conscience_n to_o direct_v he_o and_o that_o be_v ofttimes_o deceitful_a the_o proceed_n in_o chancery_n be_v

man_n eye_n be_v wrong_a in_o another_o nothing_o be_v more_o difficult_a than_o to_o satisfy_v in_o judgement_n and_o this_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o last_o and_o strong_a motive_n for_o my_o refusal_n of_o this_o employment_n which_o be_v 4._o my_o unfitness_n and_o want_n of_o ability_n to_o under_o go_v it_o i_o mention_v not_o my_o want_n of_o ability_n of_o body_n though_o this_o place_n require_v much_o pain_n labour_n and_o continual_a attendance_n and_o my_o health_n be_v not_o a_o little_a impair_v and_o my_o bodily_a infirmity_n increase_v by_o my_o late_a service_n but_o i_o hold_v myself_o oblige_v to_o lay_v down_o my_o life_n to_o serve_v you_o i_o may_v more_o insist_v upon_o my_o want_n of_o ability_n of_o mind_n to_o perform_v this_o great_a charge_n and_o this_o be_v best_a know_v to_o myself_o though_o i_o confess_v it_o have_v be_v too_o much_o likewise_o discover_v to_o you_o both_o upon_o former_a occasion_n and_o at_o this_o persent_a and_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o honour_v i_o by_o this_o place_n and_o to_o dishonour_v yourselves_o by_o my_o weak_a execution_n of_o it_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o these_o be_v but_o pretence_n whereof_o you_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a judge_n i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o it_o will_v not_o become_v i_o to_o oppose_v my_o judgement_n to_o you_o but_o i_o be_o most_o conscious_a to_o myself_o of_o my_o own_o disability_n and_o beg_v your_o consideration_n of_o they_o a_o great_a objection_n be_v that_o if_o i_o decline_v this_o service_n at_o this_o time_n it_o will_v be_v a_o
