say_v the_o king_n be_v a_o papist_n or_o shall_v any_o way_n by_o word_n or_o write_n publish_v or_o utter_v any_o thing_n to_o incite_v people_n to_o the_o hatred_n or_o dislike_n of_o the_o king_n person_n i_o will_v desire_v any_o to_o consider_v whether_o any_o of_o these_o crime_n will_v be_v answer_v by_o plead_v that_o what_o be_v say_v be_v speak_v by_o the_o king_n knowledge_n and_o allowance_n it_o will_v appear_v the_o king_n that_o can_v do_v no_o wrong_n can_v avow_v the_o wrong_n do_v to_o he_o and_o his_o people_n if_o this_o shall_v appear_v rigorous_a to_o any_o let_v they_o but_o equal_o compare_v the_o inconvenience_n on_o both_o side_n and_o it_o will_v appear_v by_o this_o way_n some_o particular_a man_n of_o shake_a conscience_n and_o principle_n may_v suffer_v by_o their_o own_o folly_n but_o by_o the_o other_o way_n the_o public_a may_v suffer_v under_o the_o protect_a guilt_n of_o a_o few_o corrupt_a or_o ambitious_a person_n and_o since_o in_o all_o age_n it_o appear_v how_o soft_a man_n be_v to_o the_o impression_n of_o wealth_n and_o power_n how_o just_a will_v it_o seem_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o excuse_n for_o ill_a council_n and_o those_o that_o will_v undertake_v the_o care_n of_o great_a thing_n aught_o to_o bear_v the_o weight_n and_o hazard_n of_o the_o employment_n this_o will_v increase_v the_o care_n of_o do_v well_o and_o oppose_v ill_a and_o great_a man_n will_v find_v it_o better_o and_o safe_a to_o depend_v upon_o their_o own_o virtue_n than_o on_o their_o flattery_n and_o truth_n will_v then_o appear_v the_o best_a policy_n when_o falsehood_n become_v the_o great_a danger_n and_o i_o will_v venture_v to_o add_v this_o far_a remark_n that_o this_o lord_n have_v be_v bold_a in_o this_o way_n than_o ever_o any_o subject_n be_v and_o it_o look_v like_o a_o ill_a return_n to_o his_o gracious_a and_o bountiful_a master_n that_o he_o never_o entitle_v he_o to_o any_o thing_n for_o his_o honour_n but_o as_o i_o observe_v before_o in_o the_o business_n of_o the_o goldsmith_n he_o whole_o attribute_n the_o good_a action_n to_o himself_o and_o will_v make_v the_o king_n treasure_n purchase_v his_o honour_n and_o esteem_v i_o have_v hear_v of_o such_o generous_a friend_n that_o have_v charge_v themselves_o with_o their_o friend_n misfortune_n to_o make_v themselves_o capable_a to_o suffer_v for_o they_o but_o this_o lord_n have_v not_o act_v so_o for_o his_o king_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a will_v fix_v ill_a thing_n on_o he_o for_o if_o what_o be_v charge_v upon_o he_o have_v be_v avowable_a there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o make_v any_o other_o plea_n than_o what_o may_v proceed_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n this_o bring_v i_o to_o consider_v the_o expression_n about_o the_o parliament_n which_o he_o may_v just_o indeed_o suppose_v have_v be_v a_o principal_a cause_n of_o give_v offence_n have_v now_o with_o just_a duty_n separate_v the_o king_n from_o the_o concern_v of_o this_o matter_n i_o dare_v proceed_v to_o consider_v it_o with_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o paragraph_n i_o agree_v with_o the_o author_n that_o the_o clause_n that_o give_v the_o parliament_n offence_n he_o may_v have_v add_v and_o every_o englishman_n that_o read_v it_o beside_o be_v this_o in_o case_n the_o condition_n of_o the_o peace_n shall_v be_v accept_v the_o king_n expect_v to_o have_v six_o million_o of_o livre_n yearly_a for_o three_o year_n from_o the_o time_n that_o this_o agreement_n shall_v be_v sign_v betwixt_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o king_n of_o france_n because_o it_o will_v be_v two_o or_o three_o year_n before_o he_o can_v hope_v to_o find_v his_o parliament_n in_o a_o humour_n to_o give_v he_o supply_n after_o the_o have_v make_v any_o peace_n with_o france_n the_o reason_n give_v for_o this_o clause_n be_v remarkable_a that_o it_o be_v insert_v only_o for_o a_o motive_n to_o persuade_v the_o king_n of_o france_n to_o give_v a_o great_a sum_n than_o six_o million_o of_o livre_n because_o otherwise_o in_o the_o ill_a posture_n thing_n stand_v in_o the_o french_a king_n may_v suspect_v whether_o the_o king_n of_o england_n will_v agree_v to_o any_o peace_n at_o all_o i_o can_v imagine_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o motive_n to_o the_o french_a king_n to_o give_v money_n large_o nor_o to_o make_v he_o believe_v the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v firm_a to_o he_o but_o the_o condition_n of_o keep_v off_o parliament_n how_o clear_o do_v it_o now_o appear_v that_o this_o way_n only_o the_o french_a believe_v their_o interest_n be_v to_o be_v support_v and_o as_o if_o the_o old_a art_n of_o adjournment_n and_o prorogation_n have_v not_o be_v sufficient_a it_o be_v project_v now_o to_o let_v a_o lease_n of_o parliament_n to_o the_o french_a for_o three_o year_n and_o it_o be_v reasonable_o guess_v they_o will_v have_v be_v out_o of_o humour_n to_o grant_v supply_n when_o supply_n be_v get_v from_o other_o to_o destroy_v they_o but_o how_o after_o three_o year_n the_o parliament_n shall_v be_v bring_v in_o humour_n be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v it_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o the_o lease_n will_v have_v be_v renew_v the_o next_o objection_n to_o this_o letter_n he_o say_v have_v be_v that_o it_o be_v write_v the_o 25_o of_o march_n 78._o which_o be_v five_o day_n after_o the_o parliament_n have_v pass_v a_o act_n to_o raise_v money_n for_o a_o actual_a war_n with_o france_n this_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v true_a but_o answer_v first_o that_o a_o act_n to_o raise_v money_n for_o a_o war_n be_v no_o declaration_n of_o the_o war._n but_o that_o act_n be_v ground_v upon_o a_o message_n from_o the_o king_n to_o the_o parliament_n for_o a_o actual_a war_n and_o it_o be_v so_o declare_v to_o be_v by_o one_o of_o the_o secretary_n in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o but_o now_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o this_o impartial_a friend_n to_o advise_v his_o lord_n which_o to_o stand_v to_o whether_o the_o king_n be_v author_n of_o the_o message_n send_v by_o the_o secretary_n or_o of_o the_o clause_n in_o his_o letter_n for_o sure_a though_o he_o have_v be_v very_o bold_a with_o the_o king_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o make_v he_o own_o contradiction_n at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o second_o be_v that_o till_o such_o declaration_n all_o treaty_n be_v lawful_a and_o even_o then_o too_o if_o the_o king_n please_v in_o who_o the_o sole_a power_n of_o make_v peace_n and_o war_n be_v make_v by_o law_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o in_o the_o time_n of_o war_n declare_v the_o king_n may_v treat_v of_o peace_n but_o whether_o this_o lord_n may_v treat_v for_o it_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o by_o the_o clause_n of_o the_o letter_n be_v the_o more_o proper_a question_n three_o he_o say_v that_o the_o king_n ambassador_n be_v then_o at_o nimegen_n treat_v of_o peace_n and_o be_v indeed_o never_o recall_v nor_o forbid_v to_o treat_v the_o peace_n and_o can_v it_o be_v think_v a_o fault_n for_o a_o minister_n to_o obey_v the_o king_n order_n at_o home_n on_o the_o same_o subject_a upon_o which_o other_o minister_n be_v act_v at_o the_o same_o time_n abroad_o this_o be_v the_o usual_a manner_n of_o argue_v but_o it_o it_o afford_v some_o new_a matter_n of_o answer_n which_o arise_v from_o observe_v that_o the_o minister_n abroad_o treat_v upon_o the_o same_o subject_a as_o this_o lord_n do_v at_o home_n which_o imply_v they_o all_o treat_v for_o so_o much_o money_n to_o be_v the_o price_n of_o parliament_n or_o else_o this_o minister_n may_v be_v in_o fault_n though_o the_o other_o be_v not_o but_o i_o suppose_v the_o minister_n be_v not_o so_o bold_a upon_o this_o point_n abroad_o as_o this_o minister_n be_v at_o home_n and_o if_o not_o the_o argument_n be_v at_o a_o end_n the_o four_o argument_n be_v compose_v of_o no_o new_a matter_n till_o at_o the_o latter_a end_n it_o be_v say_v that_o have_v it_o be_v a_o crime_n his_o majesty_n ambassador_n at_o paris_n must_v be_v in_o as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o fault_n to_o have_v obey_v the_o king_n order_n at_o second_o hand_n as_o this_o lord_n be_v to_o obey_v his_o majesty_n immediate_a command_n from_o his_o own_o mouth_n and_o sign_v by_o his_o hand_n i_o have_v before_o take_v notice_n how_o little_a it_o add_v or_o diminish_v to_o any_o offence_n to_o compare_v it_o with_o what_o other_o have_v commit_v it_o be_v only_o just_a and_o proper_a that_o every_o thing_n shall_v bear_v its_o own_o weight_n but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v myself_o to_o dispute_v whether_o the_o same_o fault_n be_v great_a in_o the_o first_o or_o second_o concoction_n but_o possible_o the_o
