can_v well_o support_v itself_o under_o so_o many_o thousand_o suit_n of_o law_n stop_v so_o vast_a a_o sum_n of_o money_n withhold_v from_o the_o right_a owner_n so_o great_a a_o quantity_n of_o land_n unjust_o possess_v and_o in_o many_o case_n the_o length_n of_o time_n secure_v the_o possession_n and_o create_v a_o title_n and_o it_o be_v a_o observation_n not_o unworthy_a the_o make_n that_o all_o this_o extent_n of_o privilege_n beyond_o its_o due_a bound_n have_v first_o rise_v from_o the_o member_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o that_o house_n to_o this_o day_n pretend_v to_o forty_o day_n privilege_n before_o and_o after_o parliament_n the_o house_n of_o lord_n but_o twenty_o and_o yet_o the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n be_v the_o same_o to_o both_o and_o if_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o obtain_v their_o forty_o day_n to_o become_v law_n and_o custom_n the_o lord_n will_v certain_o enjoy_v the_o same_o privilege_n but_o the_o cure_n of_o this_o evil_n be_v very_o easy_a in_o frequent_a and_o short_a parliament_n the_o member_n will_v affect_v no_o large_a privilege_n than_o be_v necessary_a and_o useful_a to_o they_o for_o such_o as_o oppress_v and_o injure_v other_o can_v expect_v a_o second_o choice_n and_o the_o present_a time_n be_v but_o short_a to_o all_o this_o there_o be_v two_o objection_n that_o make_v a_o great_a sound_n but_o have_v real_o nothing_o of_o weight_n in_o they_o the_o first_o objection_n be_v that_o the_o crown_n be_v in_o danger_n if_o you_o call_v a_o new_a parliament_n if_o those_o man_n be_v in_o earnest_n that_o urge_v this_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v they_o will_v consider_v well_o what_o be_v the_o man_n be_v likely_a to_o be_v choose_v and_o they_o be_v not_o difficult_a to_o be_v guest_n at_o through_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n man_n of_o quality_n of_o estate_n and_o of_o the_o best_a understanding_n such_o will_v never_o affect_v change_n or_o disturb_v the_o king_n government_n a_o new_a parliament_n will_v be_v the_o nation_n and_o that_o will_v never_o stick_v at_o small_a matter_n to_o render_v themselves_o acceptable_a to_o their_o prince_n will_v the_o king_n have_v acquaintance_n with_o his_o people_n this_o be_v his_o way_n will_v he_o have_v yet_o more_o the_o love_n of_o his_o people_n thus_o he_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v it_o will_v the_o king_n have_v a_o considerable_a sum_n of_o money_n to_o pay_v his_o debt_n and_o put_v he_o at_o ease_n thus_o he_o can_v fail_v of_o it_o nay_o he_o shall_v have_v it_o as_o a_o pledge_n of_o endearment_n between_o he_o and_o his_o people_n they_o give_v it_o themselves_o and_o they_o know_v the_o king_n receive_v it_o as_o from_o they_o the_o english_a nation_n be_v a_o generous_a people_n and_o have_v at_o all_o time_n express_v themselves_o ready_a to_o supply_v even_o the_o humour_n and_o excess_n of_o their_o prince_n and_o some_o of_o the_o best_a belove_a prince_n we_o have_v have_v be_v such_o as_o by_o war_n or_o otherwise_o put_v we_o to_o most_o expense_n witness_v edward_n the_o one_a edward_n the_o 3d_o and_o henry_n the_o 5_o but_o then_o always_o they_o be_v satisfy_v that_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v preserve_v and_o what_o ever_o private_a or_o personal_a excess_n the_o prince_n have_v yet_o the_o nation_n be_v secure_a there_o be_v no_o design_n upon_o they_o neither_o shall_v their_o money_n or_o their_o strength_n be_v use_v against_o they_o all_o this_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o our_o present_a state_n under_o our_o most_o gracious_a king_n but_o how_o shall_v the_o people_n know_v and_o be_v secure_a it_o be_v so_o but_o by_o those_o they_o annual_o send_v up_o to_o parliament_n from_o among_o themselves_o whereas_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v have_v a_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n give_v by_o this_o parliament_n it_o will_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o they_o not_o as_o the_o people_n gift_n and_o the_o best_a of_o man_n with_o their_o circumstance_n can_v avoid_v the_o suspicion_n when_o they_o give_v much_o to_o have_v receive_v some_o and_o man_n will_v not_o so_o cheerful_o undergo_v the_o burden_n of_o a_o tax_n and_o their_o own_o want_n in_o the_o time_n of_o this_o general_a poverty_n when_o they_o apprehend_v other_o have_v the_o thanks_o and_o perhaps_o the_o reward_n of_o their_o suffering_n the_o second_o objection_n be_v with_o great_a apprehension_n and_o passion_n urge_v by_o the_o bishop_n that_o the_o church_n and_o this_o parliament_n fall_v together_o which_o objection_n how_o vain_a it_o be_v you_o will_v easy_o confess_v if_o as_o be_v say_v before_o the_o person_n that_o be_v like_a to_o be_v choose_v be_v consider_v the_o dissent_v protestant_n may_v very_o probable_o find_v more_o favour_n and_o ease_n but_o the_o church_n can_v never_o suffer_v either_o in_o her_o land_n or_o dignity_n she_o now_o enjoy_v by_o a_o house_n of_o commons_o consist_v of_o man_n of_o the_o best_a quality_n and_o estate_n in_o england_n as_o the_o next_o certain_o will_v do_v but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n what_o do_v the_o bishop_n mean_v by_o this_o assertion_n most_o certain_o it_o be_v not_o their_o intent_n to_o make_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o nation_n direct_v opposite_a and_o inconsistent_a one_o with_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o in_o say_v this_o they_o confess_v that_o this_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v not_o the_o true_a representative_n of_o those_o they_o serve_v for_o that_o the_o people_n and_o they_o be_v of_o different_a mind_n that_o if_o they_o be_v to_o choose_v again_o they_o will_v choose_v other_o man_n of_o other_o sentiment_n and_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o what_o ever_o be_v not_o natural_a be_v by_o force_n and_o must_v be_v maintain_v by_o force_n a_o stand_a parliament_n and_o a_o stand_a army_n be_v like_o those_o twin_n that_o have_v their_o low_a part_n unite_v and_o be_v divide_v only_o above_o the_o navel_n they_o be_v bear_v together_o and_o can_v long_o outlive_v each_o other_o certain_o that_o man_n be_v no_o friend_n to_o the_o church_n that_o wish_v it_o a_o three_o incorporate_v with_o those_o two_o to_o conclude_v this_o debate_n the_o continuance_n of_o this_o present_a parliament_n any_o long_a be_v unpracticable_a the_o breach_n this_o house_n of_o commons_o have_v make_v upon_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o unlikely_a to_o be_v repair_v with_o these_o present_a man_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v renew_v by_o another_o house_n of_o commons_o of_o a_o new_a election_n if_o you_o consider_v the_o power_n the_o courtship_n and_o the_o address_n that_o these_o man_n have_v for_o so_o many_o year_n enjoy_v and_o receive_v they_o may_v almost_o be_v forgive_v if_o they_o think_v themselves_o great_a man_n than_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o high_a house_n beside_o it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v that_o many_o of_o the_o able_a and_o most_o worthy_a patriot_n among_o they_o have_v carry_v this_o difference_n to_o the_o great_a height_n with_o this_o only_a design_n that_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o may_v deliver_v the_o nation_n from_o the_o danger_n and_o pressure_n of_o a_o long_a continue_a parliament_n whereas_o a_o new_a choose_a house_n of_o commons_o especial_o if_o it_o be_v fix_v and_o know_v that_o it_o can_v not_o remain_v long_o can_v not_o be_v apprehend_v to_o have_v any_o affectation_n to_o exceed_v their_o just_a bound_n nor_o to_o renew_v a_o contest_v where_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o people_n be_v manifest_o on_o the_o lord_n side_n for_o beside_o the_o undoubted_a right_n and_o constant_a practice_n that_o the_o lord_n enjoy_v in_o the_o case_n of_o appeal_n from_o court_n of_o equity_n all_o other_o expedient_n when_o well_o consider_v give_v the_o crown_n the_o favourite_n and_o minister_n the_o power_n over_o every_o man_n estate_n in_o england_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n to_o have_v a_o new_a parliament_n this_o will_v give_v the_o king_n constant_a and_o never-failing_a supply_n with_o the_o heart_n and_o goodwill_n of_o his_o people_n this_o will_v not_o only_o
