royal_a power_n of_o england_n upon_o his_o highness_n the_o prince_n of_o orange_n who_o as_o he_o â—â—th_v be_v already_o their_o chief_a patron_n benefactor_n refuge_n and_o sanctuary_n so_o they_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o the_o only_a person_n under_o god_n destine_v by_o heaven_n to_o be_v their_o saviour_n and_o from_o who_o compassion_n courage_n and_o zeal_n they_o may_v expect_v the_o

the_o only_a objection_n that_o can_v be_v advance_v against_o what_o have_v be_v here_o humble_o propose_v and_o offer_v be_v that_o the_o settle_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o of_o the_o sovereign_a power_n upon_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n will_v be_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o princess_n ann_n in_o case_n her_o royal_a highness_n the_o princess_n mary_n shall_v die_v before_o her_o husband_n to_o which_o i_o brief_o answer_v these_o six_o thing_n 1._o that_o where_o there_o be_v no_o claim_n by_o descent_n as_o in_o our_o present_a case_n there_o can_v be_v no_o injury_n do_v to_o any_o for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o wrong_n in_o withhold_a what_o a_o person_n have_v no_o right_a to_o challenge_v 2._o it_o be_v too_o probable_a and_o that_o to_o our_o great_a grief_n that_o his_o highness_n the_o prince_n will_v be_v the_o short_a live_v of_o the_o three_o his_o indefatigable_a care_n as_o well_o as_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o natural_a constitution_n give_v we_o too_o just_a and_o doleful_a fear_n of_o it_o now_o shall_v that_o come_v to_o pass_v which_o i_o pray_v god_n to_o prevent_v the_o princess_n ann_n will_v receive_v no_o injury_n see_v all_o her_o pretence_n be_v posterior_n to_o that_o of_o the_o princess_n mary_n 3._o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o that_o the_o prince_n and_o princess_n of_o orange_n may_v have_v child_n and_o then_o all_o will_v confess_v that_o the_o princess_n ann_n can_v receive_v no_o wrong_n shall_v she_o and_o prince_n of_o orange_n outlive_v the_o princess_n mary_n see_v if_o the_o crown_n be_v to_o go_v in_o the_o direct_a order_n and_o in_o the_o way_n of_o lineal_a descent_n it_o devolve_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o the_o princess_n mary_n after_o her_o death_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o princess_n ann._n 4._o there_o be_v no_o great_a likelihood_n that_o the_o princess_n ann_n shall_v outlive_v her_o royal_a highness_n the_o princess_n of_o orange_n and_o then_o by_o settle_v the_o crown_n as_o have_v be_v humble_o propose_v no_o damage_n will_v actual_o accrue_v unto_o she_o 5._o there_o be_v a_o benefit_n and_o not_o a_o prejudice_n arise_v to_o the_o princess_n ann_n by_o the_o method_n that_o have_v be_v here_o offer_v and_o chalk_v out_o for_o hereby_o all_o claim_n of_o the_o present_a pretend_a prince_n of_o wales_n be_v debar_v and_o shut_v out_o which_o i_o think_v do_v more_o in_o point_n of_o benefit_n arise_v to_o the_o princess_n ann_n than_o countervail_v all_o the_o damage_n she_o be_v capable_a of_o receive_v by_o the_o put_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n first_o in_o the_o act_n of_o setlement_n and_o entail_v 6._o there_o be_v nothing_o here_o desire_v or_o advise_v in_o favour_n and_o behalf_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n but_o what_o we_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o have_v grant_v to_o prince_n george_n in_o his_o turn_n nor_o do_v i_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o princess_n ann_n be_v so_o good_a a_o womaâ—_n and_o so_o excellent_a a_o wife_n that_o she_o will_v be_v desirous_a to_o purchase_v so_o great_a a_o honour_n and_o so_o real_a a_o benefit_n to_o the_o prince_n her_o husband_n at_o the_o cost_n of_o a_o small_a and_o little_o more_o than_o imaginary_a damage_n to_o herself_o finis_fw-la
