he_o that_o know_v something_o know_v all_o thing_n in_o that_o letter_n also_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o observe_v that_o the_o king_n be_v sufficient_o inform_v that_o the_o french_a desire_a peace_n upon_o the_o term_n send_v by_o the_o secretary_n but_o think_v it_o not_o fit_a to_o stay_v till_o the_o desire_n be_v formal_o receive_v and_o the_o ambassador_n as_o formal_o impower_v to_o propose_v for_o fear_v the_o time_n shall_v be_v lose_v of_o effect_v the_o peace_n that_o be_v for_o fear_v the_o market_n shall_v be_v miss_v of_o contract_v for_o so_o much_o money_n as_o may_v secure_v against_o the_o trouble_n of_o parliament_n for_o some_o year_n and_o if_o adjournment_n and_o prorogation_n have_v be_v the_o usual_a prudence_n certain_o a_o well-bought_a dissolution_n for_o three_o year_n at_o least_o must_v needs_o be_v think_v admirable_a politic_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o proposition_n be_v not_o original_o the_o king_n but_o the_o confederate_n so_o that_o the_o king_n be_v to_o gain_v nothing_o by_o make_v the_o market_n either_o high_a or_o low_o and_o the_o french_a have_v often_o experience_n that_o his_o majesty_n will_v not_o do_v otherways_o this_o second_o way_n of_o argue_v be_v as_o strenuous_a as_o the_o former_a and_o bear_v equal_a resemblance_n to_o the_o reason_n and_o nature_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v still_o ground_v upon_o the_o proposition_n that_o they_o be_v original_o the_o confederate_n who_o at_o that_o time_n be_v too_o much_o discourage_v to_o hope_n or_o propose_v any_o thing_n equal_a to_o the_o common_a interest_n and_o therefore_o the_o market_n be_v to_o be_v make_v up_o in_o the_o prevent_v that_o which_o may_v raise_v their_o spirit_n the_o meeting_n of_o parliament_n which_o mr._n coleman_n who_o policy_n agree_v with_o this_o lord_n declare_v to_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o their_o resolution_n so_o that_o the_o logic_n appear_v this_o there_o be_v no_o market_n to_o be_v make_v of_o the_o proposition_n ergo_fw-la there_o be_v no_o market_n to_o be_v make_v of_o parliament_n the_o three_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o method_n which_o be_v lay_v down_o as_o a_o full_a justification_n of_o his_o majesty_n honour_n in_o that_o point_n and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o design_n of_o get_v the_o money_n for_o the_o purpose_n suggest_v against_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n for_o in_o that_o case_n he_o will_v not_o have_v consider_v the_o gain_n or_o loss_n of_o the_o confederate_n and_o mr._n montague_n be_v express_o forbid_v in_o the_o letter_n to_o mention_v the_o money_n at_o all_o in_o case_n the_o french_a king_n do_v not_o accept_v those_o very_a proposition_n of_o the_o confederate_n and_o in_o the_o term_n as_o his_o majesty_n recelve_v they_o from_o his_o ambassador_n at_o the_o hague_n this_o argument_n also_o be_v like_o the_o rest_n ground_v upon_o the_o proposition_n and_o be_v make_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o money_n be_v not_o design_v for_o ill_a purpose_n because_o there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o care_n express_v of_o stick_v entire_o to_o the_o proposition_n sure_o he_o forget_v that_o but_o a_o little_a before_o he_o say_v that_o this_o lord_n in_o his_o letter_n assure_v he_o that_o they_o be_v sufficient_o inform_v the_o french_a desire_a peace_n upon_o those_o proposition_n it_o seem_v strange_a then_o that_o the_o justness_n of_o stick_v to_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o insist_v upon_o when_o the_o french_a have_v give_v their_o permission_n by_o the_o approbation_n of_o they_o i_o wish_v that_o in_o this_o paragraph_n the_o argument_n and_o respect_n for_o his_o majesty_n honour_n have_v be_v better_o defend_v or_o whole_o let_v alone_o but_o first_o to_o bring_v the_o king_n honour_n in_o question_n and_o then_o to_o argue_v so_o ill_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o it_o be_v two_o great_a though_o not_o equal_a crime_n for_o no_o guilt_n but_o treason_n can_v exceed_v or_o equal_v that_o of_o too_o bold_o meddle_v with_o that_o sacred_a subject_n the_o four_o be_v a_o new_a sort_n of_o argument_n from_o the_o last_o word_n of_o the_o letter_n where_o the_o earl_n tell_v mr._n montague_n that_o he_o believe_v that_o will_v be_v the_o last_o time_n any_o proposal_n of_o peace_n will_v be_v make_v and_o that_o he_o be_v confident_a they_o will_v not_o be_v accept_v wherefore_o he_o may_v according_o take_v the_o king_n measure_n and_o his_o own_o how_o to_o apply_v this_o argument_n for_o any_o use_n to_o this_o lord_n i_o know_v not_o it_o only_o express_v a_o apprehension_n or_o opinion_n that_o the_o proposal_n will_v not_o be_v accept_v sure_o he_o can_v mean_v the_o proposal_n that_o he_o say_v be_v receive_v from_o the_o confederate_n for_o those_o he_o be_v inform_v be_v desire_v by_o the_o french_a it_o can_v be_v only_o the_o proposition_n for_o the_o money_n that_o probable_o give_v the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o refusal_n after_o these_o four_o observation_n he_o proceed_v to_o that_o expression_n about_o the_o parliament_n which_o he_o suppose_v have_v be_v a_o principal_a cause_n of_o give_v they_o offence_n and_o plain_o avow_v that_o he_o have_v hear_v this_o lord_n say_v that_o his_o majesty_n cause_v that_o expression_n to_o be_v use_v only_o for_o a_o motive_n to_o persuade_v the_o king_n of_o france_n to_o give_v a_o great_a sum_n than_o six_o millins_n of_o liver_n which_o then_o have_v be_v offer_v and_o because_o otherways_o in_o the_o ill_a posture_n thing_n than_o stand_v betwixt_o the_o two_o king_n the_o french_a king_n may_v suspect_v whether_o the_o king_n of_o england_n will_v agree_v to_o any_o peace_n at_o all_o and_o these_o be_v the_o whole_a content_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o it_o be_v write_v by_o his_o majesty_n express_a order_n you_o will_v easy_o conclude_v this_o lord_n can_v not_o be_v so_o hardly_o prosecute_v for_o that_o only_a be_v there_o no_o other_o cause_n for_o it_o when_o in_o truth_n he_o believe_v there_o be_v very_o few_o subject_n but_o will_v take_v it_o ill_o not_o to_o be_v obey_v by_o their_o servant_n and_o their_o servant_n may_v as_o just_o expect_v their_o master_n protection_n for_o their_o obedience_n before_o i_o enter_v upon_o the_o argument_n of_o this_o paragraph_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o i_o shall_v first_o avoid_v the_o crime_n that_o i_o presume_v to_o condemn_v in_o this_o lord_n for_o if_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v ill_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o by_o silence_n leave_v the_o king_n entitle_v to_o it_o i_o shall_v share_v the_o guilt_n so_o common_a to_o this_o lord_n i_o will_v therefore_o first_o endeavour_n to_o do_v myself_o that_o justice_n which_o the_o law_n do_v the_o nation_n to_o separate_v the_o king_n from_o wrong_n or_o dishonour_n and_o i_o will_v after_o in_o a_o more_o proper_a place_n examine_v the_o argument_n draw_v from_o obedience_n i_o need_v not_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o well-known_a maxim_n of_o the_o law_n that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n and_o if_o he_o can_v be_v liable_a to_o do_v wrong_n none_o can_v entitle_v he_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o wrong_n do_v and_o this_o be_v not_o only_a matter_n of_o law_n but_o ground_v upon_o prudence_n and_o necessity_n for_o to_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o king_n can_v do_v wrong_a and_o yet_o that_o he_o be_v accountable_a to_o none_o but_o god_n be_v to_o grant_v there_o be_v a_o mischief_n without_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o law_n and_o it_o be_v rational_a if_o the_o king_n can_v commit_v the_o offence_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o man_n to_o judge_v the_o punishment_n therefore_o just_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o ancient_a lawyer_n bracton_n who_o write_v in_o hen._n 3._o time_n ipse_fw-la autem_fw-la rex_fw-la non_fw-la debet_fw-la esse_fw-la sub_fw-la homine_fw-la sed_fw-la sub_fw-la deo_fw-la etc._n etc._n and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o king_n honour_n be_v as_o little_a subject_n to_o man_n as_o his_o person_n according_o the_o act_n of_o the_o 13_o of_o the_o king_n express_v a_o care_n of_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o majesty_n by_o declare_v that_o in_o his_o honour_n and_o happiness_n consist_v the_o good_a and_o welfare_n of_o his_o people_n so_o that_o of_o consequence_n any_o one_o that_o attribute_n dishonour_v to_o the_o king_n be_v a_o offender_n against_o the_o good_a and_o welfare_n of_o the_o people_n on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o any_o favourite_n or_o councillor_n shall_v be_v discharge_v from_o ill_a action_n or_o counsel_n by_o charge_v the_o king_n with_o the_o allowance_n or_o knowledge_n of_o they_o what_o a_o encouragement_n may_v this_o be_v for_o guilty_a man_n and_o what_o a_o asylum_n to_o fly_v too_o when_o the_o guilt_n be_v commit_v in_o the_o same_o act_n there_o be_v a_o heavy_a sentence_n on_o any_o that_o shall_v

a_o more_o proper_a place_n when_o i_o set_v down_o the_o state_n of_o the_o king_n condition_n in_o point_n of_o his_o revenue_n as_o it_o be_v leave_v by_o his_o predecessor_n the_o lord_n

down_o i_o will_v beg_v leave_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o particular_n which_o perhaps_o may_v be_v useful_a to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o general_n the_o first_o illustration_n of_o this_o lord_n prudence_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o chargeable_a war_n with_o the_o dutch_a the_o whole_a burden_n of_o which_o this_o impartial_a friend_n will_v lay_v upon_o this_o lord_n to_o

be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o lord_n clifford_n who_o may_v as_o well_o complain_v that_o he_o have_v no_o benefit_n of_o any_o tax_n give_v in_o his_o time_n as_o this_o lord_n that_o there_o

to_o be_v pay_v i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o it_o be_v a_o just_a and_o good_a action_n nay_o though_o mr._n coleman_n claim_v a_o share_n in_o it_o who_o benefit_n perhaps_o only_o make_v he_o active_a in_o it_o but_o upon_o this_o occasion_n i_o will_v only_o present_v a_o small_a view_n of_o the_o impartiality_n of_o this_o writer_n he_o call_v this_o stop_n of_o the_o exchequer_n a_o infamous_a action_n and_o fix_v it_o upon_o many_o person_n allow_v no_o excuse_n for_o they_o though_o it_o be_v own_a by_o the_o king_n in_o a_o public_a declaration_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o affair_n but_o when_o this_o lord_n be_v charge_v with_o crime_n of_o high_a nature_n he_o allow_v the_o plea_n that_o the_o king_n command_v it_o and_o though_o private_o to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o wipe_v off_o all_o infamy_n from_o he_o this_o can_v appear_v good_a reason_n or_o clear_a justice_n and_o less_o show_v towards_o the_o king_n than_o any_o if_o this_o lord_n be_v

must_v be_v allow_v no_o share_n of_o his_o own_o goodness_n the_o next_o particular_n he_o use_v to_o help_v show_v what_o great_a thing_n this_o lord_n perform_v be_v the_o war_n of_o algiers_n
