than_o by_o servile_a and_o low_a flattery_n upon_o uncertain_a term_n my_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o only_o your_o interest_n by_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n that_o you_o maintain_v your_o right_n for_o let_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o gentry_n think_v what_o they_o please_v there_o be_v no_o prince_n that_o ever_o govern_v without_o a_o nobility_n or_o army_n if_o he_o will_v if_o you_o will_v not_o have_v one_o you_o must_v have_v another_o for_o the_o monarchy_n can_v long_o support_v or_o keep_v itself_o from_o tumble_v into_o a_o democratical_a republic_n your_o lordship_n and_o the_o people_n have_v the_o same_o cause_n and_o the_o same_o enemy_n my_o lord_n will_v you_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o your_o king_n it_o be_v a_o very_a ill_a way_n to_o it_o to_o put_v yourselves_o out_o of_o a_o future_a capacity_n to_o be_v considerable_a in_o his_o service_n i_o do_v not_o find_v in_o story_n or_o in_o modern_a experience_n but_o that_o it_o be_v better_a and_o a_o man_n be_v much_o regard_v that_o be_v still_o in_o a_o capacity_n and_o opportunity_n to_o serve_v than_o he_o that_o have_v whole_o deprive_v himself_o of_o all_o for_o his_o prince_n service_n and_o therefore_o declare_v that_o i_o will_v serve_v my_o prince_n as_o a_o peer_n but_o i_o will_v not_o destroy_v the_o peerage_n to_o serve_v he_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v hear_v of_o twenty_o foolish_a model_n and_o expedient_n to_o secure_v the_o justice_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o yet_o to_o take_v this_o right_n from_o your_o lordship_n as_o the_o king_n by_o his_o commission_n appoint_v commoner_n to_o hear_v appeal_n or_o that_o the_o twelve_o judge_n shall_v be_v the_o person_n or_o the_o person_n shall_v be_v appoint_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v all_o not_o only_o to_o take_v away_o your_o lordship_n first_o right_n that_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v alter_v any_o more_o than_o any_o other_o part_n of_o this_o government_n but_o be_v in_o themselves_o when_o well_o weigh_v ridiculous_a i_o must_v deal_v free_o with_o your_o lordship_n these_o thing_n can_v never_o have_v rise_v in_o man_n mind_n but_o that_o there_o have_v be_v some_o kind_n of_o provocation_n that_o have_v give_v the_o first_o rise_v to_o it_o i_o pray_v my_o lord_n forgive_v i_o if_o upon_o this_o occasion_n i_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o commit_v divers_a and_o the_o scardal_n of_o it_o those_o drove_n of_o lady_n that_o attend_v all_o cause_n it_o be_v come_v to_o that_o pass_n that_o man_n even_o hire_v or_o borrow_v of_o their_o friend_n handsome_a sister_n or_o daughter_n to_o deliver_v their_o petition_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o i_o must_v say_v that_o your_o judgement_n have_v be_v sacred_a unless_o in_o one_o or_o two_o cause_n and_o those_o be_v most_o to_o that_o bench_n from_o whence_o i_o apprehend_v most_o danger_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n i_o have_v almost_o forget_v which_o be_v the_o conjuncture_n of_o time_n the_o thing_n upon_o which_o our_o reason_n of_o state_n turn_v and_o so_o my_o lord_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v if_o this_o be_v not_o a_o time_n of_o leisure_n for_o you_o to_o vindicate_v your_o privilege_n you_o must_v never_o expect_v one_o i_o can_v almost_o say_v that_o the_o harmony_n good_a agreement_n and_o concord_n that_o be_v to_o be_v pray_v for_o at_o most_o other_o time_n may_v be_v fatal_a to_o we_o now_o we_o owe_v the_o peace_n of_o these_o two_o last_o year_n and_o the_o disengagement_n from_o the_o french_a interest_n to_o the_o house_n differ_v from_o the_o sense_n and_o opinion_n of_o whitehall_n so_o at_o this_o time_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n this_o nation_n have_v most_o reason_n to_o apprehend_v dangerous_a be_v a_o general_a peace_n which_o can_v now_o happen_v without_o very_o advantageous_a term_n to_o the_o french_a and_o disadvantage_n to_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n we_o be_v the_o king_n counselor_n and_o if_o so_o have_v right_a to_o differ_v and_o give_v contrary_a counsel_n to_o those_o that_o be_v near_a about_o he_o i_o fear_v the_o word_n advance_v a_o general_a peace_n i_o be_o sure_a i_o will_v advise_v against_o it_o and_o hinder_v it_o at_o this_o time_n by_o all_o the_o way_n imaginable_a i_o hearty_o wish_v nothing_o from_o you_o may_v add_v weight_n and_o reputation_n to_o those_o counsel_n that_o will_v assist_v the_o french_a no_o money_n for_o ship_n nor_o preparation_n you_o can_v make_v personal_a assurance_n our_o prince_n can_v have_v can_v secure_v we_o from_o the_o french_a if_o they_o be_v at_o leisure_n he_o be_v grow_v the_o most_o potent_a of_o we_o all_o at_o sea_n he_o have_v build_v twenty_o four_o ship_n the_o last_o year_n and_o have_v thirty_o more_o in_o number_n than_o we_o beside_o the_o advantage_n that_o all_o our_o ship_n be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o his_o exquisite_o provide_v for_o that_o every_o ship_n have_v its_o particular_a storehouse_n it_o be_v incredible_a the_o money_n that_o he_o have_v bestow_v in_o make_v harbour_n he_o make_v nature_n itself_o give_v way_n to_o the_o vastness_n of_o his_o expense_n and_o after_o all_o this_o shall_v a_o prince_n so_o wise_a so_o intent_n in_o his_o affair_n be_v think_v to_o make_v all_o this_o preparation_n to_o sail_n over_o land_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o back_n of_o hungaria_n and_o to_o batter_v the_o wall_n of_o camaurkie_n or_o be_v it_o possible_a he_o shall_v oversee_v his_o interest_n in_o seize_v of_o ireland_n a_o thing_n so_o feasible_a to_o he_o if_o he_o be_v master_n of_o the_o sea_n as_o he_o certain_o now_o be_v and_o which_o when_o attain_v give_v all_o the_o mediterranean_a east_n and_o west_n india_n trade_n and_o render_v he_o both_o by_o situation_n and_o exact_a harbour_n perpetual_a master_n of_o the_o sea_n without_o dispute_n my_o lord_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n i_o fear_v the_o court_n of_o england_n be_v very_o mistake_v in_o it_o and_o i_o do_v not_o wish_v they_o the_o reputation_n of_o the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o this_o out_o of_o sincere_a loyalty_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o love_n to_o my_o nation_n my_o lord_n i_o have_v one_o thing_n more_o to_o trouble_v you_o with_o and_o peradventure_o it_o be_v a_o consideration_n of_o the_o great_a weight_n and_o concern_v both_o to_o your_o lordship_n and_o the_o whole_a nation_n i_o have_v often_o see_v in_o this_o house_n that_o the_o argument_n with_o strong_a reason_n and_o most_o convince_a to_o the_o lay_v lord_n in_o general_a have_v not_o have_v the_o same_o effect_n in_o the_o bishop_n bench_n but_o that_o they_o have_v unanimous_o go_v against_o we_o in_o matter_n that_o many_o of_o we_o have_v think_v essential_a and_o undoubted_a right_n and_o i_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o man_n of_o great_a learning_n piety_n and_o reason_n as_o their_o lordship_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o same_o care_n of_o do_v right_a and_o the_o same_o conviction_n what_o be_v right_a upon_o clear_a reason_n offer_v that_o other_o your_o lordship_n have_v my_o lord_n i_o must_v necessary_o think_v we_o differ_v in_o principle_n and_o then_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o apprehend_v what_o be_v the_o clear_a sense_n to_o man_n of_o my_o principle_n may_v not_o at_o all_o persuade_v or_o affect_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o best_a man_n of_o a_o different_a one_o i_o put_v your_o lordship_n case_n as_o it_o be_v now_o plain_o before_o we_o my_o principle_n be_v that_o the_o king_n be_v king_n by_o the_o law_n by_o the_o same_o law_n that_o the_o poor_a man_n enjoy_v his_o cottage_n and_o so_o it_o become_v the_o concern_v of_o every_o man_n in_o england_n that_o have_v his_o liberty_n to_o maintain_v and_o to_o defend_v to_o his_o utmost_a the_o king_n in_o all_o his_o lawful_a right_n and_o prerogatives_n and_o my_o principle_n be_v also_o that_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o the_o judicature_n and_o right_n belong_v to_o it_o be_v a_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o government_n establish_v by_o the_o same_o law_n the_o king_n govern_v and_o administer_a justice_n by_o his_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o advise_v with_o both_o his_o house_n of_o parliament_n in_o all_o important_a matter_n be_v the_o government_n i_o own_o be_o bear_v under_o be_o oblige_v to_o if_o ever_o there_o shall_v happen_v in_o future_a age_n which_o god_n forbid_v a_o king_n govern_v by_o a_o army_n without_o a_o parliament_n it_o be_v a_o government_n i_o own_v not_o be_o not_o oblige_v to_o nor_o be_v bear_v under_o according_a to_o this_o principle_n every_o honest_a man_n that_o hold_v it_o must_v endeavour_v equal_o to_o preserve_v the_o frame_n of_o the_o government_n in_o all_o part_n of_o it_o and_o can_v satisfy_v his_o conscience_n to_o give_v up_o the_o lord_n house_n
