A48040	A Letter from an absent lord to one of his friends in the convention		1689 (1689)	Wing L1442; ESTC R43389	8,759	4

a_o letter_n from_o a_o absent_a lord_n to_o one_o of_o his_o friend_n in_o the_o convention_n my_o lord_n since_o you_o seem_v surprise_v that_o i_o answer_v not_o the_o letter_n in_o which_o your_o lp._n so_o earnest_o press_v to_o see_v i_o at_o london_n and_o at_o the_o convention_n in_o my_o place_n in_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n you_o will_v undoubted_o be_v more_o surprise_v to_o understand_v now_o that_o the_o letter_n from_o the_o house_n which_o i_o have_v receive_v as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o stay_v in_o the_o country_n wrought_v no_o more_o upon_o i_o than_o the_o many_o reason_n allege_v by_o your_o lp._n to_o deal_v ingenuous_o i_o will_v free_o tell_v you_o that_o it_o absolute_o confirm_v i_o in_o my_o former_a resolution_n to_o tarry_v at_o home_n and_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o your_o assembly_n strong_o suspect_v that_o we_o be_v send_v for_o only_o for_o form_n sake_n and_o that_o nothing_o be_v fear_v more_o than_o a_o full_a house_n of_o lord_n for_o your_o lp._n i_o suppose_v will_v agree_v with_o i_o that_o if_o we_o have_v all_o come_v up_o you_o will_v not_o have_v be_v able_a to_o carry_v every_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o your_o new_a king_n since_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o prevail_v with_o much_o ado_n by_o bare_a two_o or_o three_o voice_n he_o be_v force_v to_o make_v use_n of_o threat_n and_o promise_v to_o gain_v eight_o or_o ten_o more_o to_o pass_v it_o you_o will_v easy_o believe_v that_o i_o and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o those_o who_o remain_v in_o the_o country_n will_v not_o have_v voted_n on_o that_o side_n and_o therefore_o i_o leave_v it_o with_o you_o to_o judge_v whether_o yourself_o and_o some_o sixty_o more_o who_o vote_v with_o you_o can_v have_v carry_v it_o against_o above_o one_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o who_o have_v have_v no_o hand_n in_o your_o do_n wherefore_o i_o can_v not_o but_o perceive_v that_o when_o they_o make_v letter_n be_v write_v to_o we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o upper-house_n and_o engage_v our_o particular_a friend_n to_o urge_v our_o repair_n to_o london_n they_o mock_v both_o they_o and_o we_o and_o fear_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o to_o see_v all_o the_o peer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n assemble_v for_o then_o resolution_n so_o extravagant_a and_o so_o contrary_a to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o nation_n as_o have_v be_v take_v will_v never_o have_v pass_v i_o pardon_v those_o of_o mean_a extraction_n as_o who_o be_v sensible_a they_o be_v the_o first_o of_o their_o race_n honour_v with_o the_o title_n of_o lord_n and_o make_v equal_a to_o those_o in_o who_o family_n heretofore_o they_o will_v have_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v live_v be_v the_o most_o eager_a to_o give_v the_o full_a swing_n to_o their_o new_a honour_n which_o they_o have_v so_o ill_o acknowledge_v from_o the_o king_n who_o give_v it_o i_o likewise_o pardon_v the_o lord_n who_o the_o uneasiness_n of_o their_o condition_n have_v cast_v into_o the_o wrong_a side_n and_o those_o who_o have_v be_v draw_v in_o they_o themselves_o as_o it_o often_o happen_v among_o we_o not_o well_o know_v why_o but_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o understand_v not_o how_o divers_a other_o no_o way_n subject_n to_o the_o same_o temptation_n can_v be_v taint_v with_o baseness_n enough_o to_o engage_v in_o a_o attempt_n so_o black_a and_o abominable_a as_o it_o be_v to_o renounce_v the_o obedience_n which_o by_o nature_n and_o oath_n they_o owe_v to_o a_o lawful_a king_n only_o to_o become_v slave_n to_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n it_o be_v likely_a another_o will_v tell_v i_o i_o speak_v like_o a_o papist_n and_o a_o advocate_n for_o arbitrary_a power_n but_o you_o well_o know_v that_o i_o be_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o that_o i_o have_v be_v so_o little_o employ_v in_o public_a matter_n and_o so_o little_o favour_v since_o the_o death_n of_o his_o late_a majesty_n that_o i_o be_o not_o liable_a to_o the_o suspicion_n of_o partiality_n it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v not_o only_o unconcerned_o observe_v but_o sometime_o praise_v the_o king_n zeal_n to_o favour_v his_o papist_n as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v for_o i_o always_o think_v and_o so_o to_o your_o knowledge_n do_v many_o of_o our_o friend_n that_o the_o protestant_a religion_n have_v nothing_o to_o fear_v and_o that_o the_o noisy_a design_n to_o destroy_v it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o imaginary_a i_o be_v always_o persuade_v and_o still_o be_o that_o more_o improper_a mean_n to_o advance_v popery_n can_v not_o be_v take_v than_o those_o which_o be_v and_o so_o it_o will_v never_o sink_v into_o my_o head_n that_o there_o be_v any_o harm_n towards_o protestant_a religion_n in_o all_o those_o alarm_n which_o startle_v many_o religious_a protestant_n who_o by_o their_o own_o fear_n and_o the_o artifice_n of_o those_o who_o care_v not_o one_o pin_n for_o religion_n have_v be_v dip_v in_o the_o present_a do_n of_o which_o i_o doubt_v we_o shall_v not_o see_v a_o end_n so_o soon_o pray_v my_o lord_n can_v a_o man_n of_o sense_n be_v alarm_v at_o a_o embassy_n to_o rome_n when_o we_o know_v the_o ambassador_n so_o well_o as_o we_o do_v and_o know_v the_o first_o thing_n he_o do_v at_o rome_n be_v to_o fall_v out_o with_o good_a cardinal_n howard_n and_o all_o that_o be_v able_a to_o instruct_v he_o in_o what_o may_v conduce_v to_o his_o purpose_n nuncio_n dada_n too_o be_v a_o likely_a man_n to_o endanger_v the_o reformation_n i_o for_o my_o part_n can_v never_o believe_v otherwise_o but_o that_o he_o dream_v more_o of_o a_o red_a cap_n than_o make_v convert_v have_v he_o be_v put_v to_o defend_v his_o religion_n against_o our_o bishop_n in_o what_o a_o case_n will_v he_o have_v be_v who_o divinity_n stretch_v no_o far_o then_o to_o exclaim_v perpetual_o against_o and_o all_o to_o be_v heretic_n the_o french_a often_o to_o the_o scandal_n and_o sometime_o laughter_n of_o the_o

at_o least_o some_o have_v tell_v i_o that_o the_o pope_n himself_o be_v ill_o satisfy_v with_o he_o and_o will_v recall_v he_o but_o since_o he_o do_v it_o not_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o either_o ill_o understand_v the_o affair_n of_o england_n or_o care_v little_a for_o they_o however_o it_o be_v these_o be_v the_o only_a hand_n through_o which_o past_o all_o the_o traffic_n betwixt_o england_n and_o rome_n whereof_o the_o one_o bring_v as_o bad_a relation_n from_o thence_o as_o the_o other_o send_v from_o hence_o and_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o the_o reunion_n of_o the_o two_o church_n be_v possible_a it_o will_v never_o be_v by_o the_o politic_n of_o the_o ambassador_n or_o learn_v of_o the_o nuncío_o i_o hear_v what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o king_n
