to_o choose_v whether_o you_o will_v be_v a_o slave_n and_o a_o papist_n or_o a_o protestant_n and_o a_o freeman_n and_o what_o great_a freedom_n can_v a_o man_n desire_n than_o the_o liberty_n of_o

whether_o you_o do_v not_o reproach_v your_o country_n by_o this_o insinuation_n let._n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o when_o the_o nation_n be_v deliver_v it_o must_v be_v by_o force_n or_o by_o

therefore_o our_o deliverance_n must_v be_v by_o force_n and_o i_o hope_v this_o be_v the_o time_n for_o it_o answ_n i_o shall_v not_o here_o dispute_v your_o lordship_n notion_n of_o a_o miracle_n because_o that_o will_v be_v a_o digression_n but_o crave_v leave_v to_o mind_v your_o lordship_n that_o second_o cause_n and_o force_n do_v not_o always_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o that_o god_n almighty_a who_o as_o your_o lordship_n very_o well_o observe_v in_o the_o method_n of_o his_o providence_n work_v by_o second_o cause_n do_v very_o often_o make_v use_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o their_o wicked_a action_n as_o the_o second_o cause_n he_o work_v by_o bring_v good_a out_o of_o evil_n as_o not_o to_o trouble_v you_o with_o many_o instance_n shall_v your_o lordship_n and_o your_o confederate_n succeed_v in_o this_o attempt_n do_v the_o very_a thing_n and_o by_o the_o mean_v you_o speak_v of_o what_o will_v you_o contribute_v more_o to_o the_o deliver_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o other_o and_o by_o shed_v of_o blood_n both_o nor_o may_v you_o expect_v more_o statue_n from_o posterity_n than_o they_o have_v have_v from_o our_o forefather_n but_o why_o my_o lord_n so_o positive_a therefore_o it_o must_v be_v by_o force_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n but_o because_o it_o be_v your_o lordship_n opinion_n be_v there_o no_o medium_n between_o miracle_n and_o force_n no_o room_n for_o counsel_n treaty_n parliament_n and_o be_v force_n all_o that_o you_o mean_v by_o the_o proposal_n of_o the_o p._n of_o o?_o then_o i_o very_o believe_v they_o be_v not_o such_o as_o
