A25500	An Answer of a letter to a member of the convention		1689 (1689)	Wing A3283A; ESTC R224379	3,876	6

a_o answer_n of_o a_o letter_n to_o a_o member_n of_o the_o convention_n sir_n i_o thank_v you_o for_o choose_v rather_o to_o write_v than_o to_o leave_v all_o to_o a_o personal_a conference_n in_o town_n since_o order_n from_o above_o have_v prevent_v our_o meeting_n sudden_o here_o by_o ten_o mile_n you_o say_v you_o will_v not_o dispute_v with_o i_o about_o what_o be_v past_a or_o what_o be_v to_o come_v so_o i_o perceive_v without_o weigh_v either_o the_o cause_n or_o consequence_n of_o thing_n i_o be_o upon_o implicit_a faith_n oblige_v to_o your_o dictate_v what_o my_o own_o and_o the_o nation_n interest_n must_v be_v but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o dispute_v what_o will_v become_v of_o your_o argument_n among_o other_o that_o interest_n be_v most_o apt_a to_o prevail_v i_o thank_v you_o for_o your_o indisputable_a argument_n i_o be_o come_v to_o london_n and_o find_v no_o distraction_n nor_o division_n in_o man_n counsel_n the_o threaten_a danger_n of_o popery_n be_v daily_o a_o less_o formidable_a prospect_n to_o consider_v man_n since_o old_a animosity_n be_v bury_v and_o new_a one_o suppress_v since_o man_n be_v neither_o act_v by_o ambition_n nor_o revenge_n the_o dissenter_n be_v ready_a to_o support_v the_o church_n and_o the_o commonwealth_n man_n to_o maintain_v monarchy_n so_o merciful_a have_v the_o lord_n be_v to_o we_o all_o i_o ready_o confess_v it_o be_v the_o common_a interest_n to_o have_v thing_n settle_v upon_o such_o a_o bottom_n as_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o last_v and_o i_o will_v consult_v law_n and_o conscience_n in_o the_o matter_n and_o since_o much_o depend_v upon_o the_o good_a like_n of_o free_a and_o moral_a agent_n and_o so_o many_o hundred_o thousand_o be_v to_o be_v satisfy_v wave_v your_o dangerous_a and_o uncertain_a experiment_n i_o can_v guess_v better_a at_o the_o prevail_a opinion_n than_o by_o the_o major_a vote_n of_o a_o convention_n which_o i_o much_o prefer_v to_o your_o private_a opinion_n of_o the_o different_a project_n which_o you_o say_v be_v now_o on_o foot_n viz._n to_o send_v for_o the_o king_n and_o treat_v with_o he_o to_o return_v to_o the_o government_n under_o restraint_n and_o if_o he_o will_v not_o consent_v to_o this_o to_o make_v the_o next_o heir_n regent_n to_o declare_v the_o crown_n forfeit_v or_o demise_v and_o proclaim_v the_o princess_n of_o orange_n to_o declare_v the_o government_n dissolve_v and_o begin_v all_o de_fw-fr novo_fw-la and_o make_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n king_n or_o crown_v he_o and_o the_o princess_n together_o and_o postpone_v the_o title_n of_o the_o princess_n anne_n till_o after_o the_o prince_n death_n if_o he_o survive_v the_o princess_n you_o think_v the_o first_o will_v be_v the_o firm_a foundation_n for_o the_o peace_n and_o settlement_n of_o these_o nation_n this_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v horrible_o decry_v and_o all_o man_n of_o the_o opinion_n may_v reasonable_o be_v expose_v as_o friend_n to_o popery_n and_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o till_o you_o tell_v i_o what_o the_o law_n be_v you_o can_v frame_v which_o shall_v put_v it_o utter_o out_o of_o the_o king_n power_n to_o invade_v our_o liberty_n or_o religion_n i_o take_v all_o treaty_n with_o the_o king_n to_o be_v in_o vain_a it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v give_v any_o security_n to_o the_o nation_n that_o he_o will_v govern_v by_o law_n except_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v with_o heretic_n then_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o refusal_n of_o a_o treaty_n can_v be_v no_o foundation_n of_o those_o universal_a discontent_n you_o talk_v of_o except_o by_o universal_a you_o mean_v catholic_n which_o show_v themselves_o without_o occasion_n however_o multitude_n of_o people_n be_v oblige_v to_o you_o for_o their_o satisfaction_n when_o have_v once_o burn_v their_o finger_n you_o advise_v man_n for_o experiment_n of_o a_o cure_n to_o put_v they_o into_o the_o fire_n again_o where_o you_o call_v the_o supply_v the_o throne_n a_o fundamental_a change_n in_o the_o government_n you_o take_v i_o doubt_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o twelve_o judge_n for_o equal_a authority_n with_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o twelve_o table_n not_o consider_v that_o the_o government_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n and_o upon_o the_o legal_a administration_n of_o it_o not_o upon_o any_o one_o man_n person_n otherwise_o his_o death_n will_v dissolve_v the_o government_n what_o fundamental_a change_n in_o the_o government_n then_o can_v there_o be_v that_o the_o executive_a power_n of_o the_o law_n which_o the_o king_n will_v not_o administer_v be_v commit_v to_o a_o person_n who_o will_v put_v the_o law_n in_o execution_n if_o you_o question_v the_o legality_n of_o the_o power_n of_o a_o convention_n of_o the_o estate_n of_o a_o kingdom_n to_o transfer_v this_o high_a trust_n because_o violate_v to_o one_o who_o will_v inviolable_o conserve_v it_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o when_o the_o prerogative_n be_v crack_v we_o be_v under_o obligation_n to_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o people_n which_o if_o you_o dispute_v you_o may_v have_v a_o fair_a hear_n in_o this_o convention_n but_o first_o read_v

something_o more_o than_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o person_n but_o to_o be_v plain_a with_o you_o under_o a_o apprehension_n that_o our_o religion_n and_o law_n be_v utter_o to_o be_v subvert_v i_o be_v one_o that_o invite_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n over_o to_o maintain_v they_o when_o his_o highness_n come_v i_o enter_v into_o a_o association_n to_o maintain_v they_o and_o preserve_v he_o to_o my_o power_n if_o then_o interest_n as_o you_o advertise_v must_v prevail_v i_o desire_v you_o to_o give_v i_o better_a security_n for_o religion_n and_o liberty_n in_o general_n and_o to_o do_v one_o favour_n more_o for_o your_o friend_n in_o particular_a i._n e._n to_o procure_v a_o huge_a long_a pardon_n for_o any_o thing_n that_o arbitrary_a power_n can_v interpret_v either_o high_a

discontent_n which_o no_o body_n can_v possible_o foresee_v you_o forebode_v discontent_n in_o the_o new_a court_n about_o preferment_n to_o please_v the_o good_a and_o bad_a be_v not_o a_o attribute_n of_o the_o almighty_a much_o less_o than_o be_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o of_o his_o servant_n to_o please_v all_o but_o in_o that_o court_n where_o preferment_n be_v dispose_v

occasion_n of_o discontent_n which_o no_o body_n can_v possible_o foresee_v oh_o but_o you_o foresee_v a_o tax_n and_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o defray_v the_o charge_n of_o this_o expedition_n and_o will_v pay_v my_o proportion_n very_o cheerful_o and_o thankful_o to_o the_o prince_n for_o restore_v to_o we_o our_o religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o you_o your_o
