think_v how_o much_o i_o may_v have_v have_v to_o have_v be_v otherwise_o and_o what_o he_o himself_o may_v have_v have_v for_o get_v i_o to_o take_v it_o but_o i_o do_v not_o wonder_v this_o gentleman_n will_v do_v i_o no_o right_n when_o he_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o do_v it_o to_o his_o majesty_n upon_o who_o chief_o this_o matter_n must_v reflect_v although_o he_o know_v as_o will_v appear_v under_o his_o hand_n that_o the_o great_a invitation_n to_o his_o majesty_n for_o have_v money_n from_o france_n have_v be_v make_v by_o himself_o that_o if_o his_o majesty_n will_v have_v be_v tempt_v for_o money_n he_o may_v have_v sell_v town_n for_o as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v his_o own_o and_o the_o money_n have_v be_v convey_v as_o private_o as_o he_o please_v that_o his_o majesty_n may_v have_v make_v match_n with_o france_n if_o he_o will_v have_v consent_v to_o give_v they_o town_n and_o yet_o that_o the_o king_n have_v always_o scorn_v to_o yield_v the_o mean_a village_n that_o be_v not_o agree_v to_o by_o the_o spaniard_n and_o hollander_n that_o gentleman_n have_v often_o pretend_v how_o much_o his_o own_o interest_n in_o france_n be_v diminish_v only_o by_o be_v think_v my_o friend_n and_o beside_o diverse_a other_o instance_n i_o have_v under_o his_o hand_n to_o show_v the_o malice_n of_o the_o french_a court_n against_o i_o i_o send_v two_o of_o his_o letter_n to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o which_o show_v how_o monsieur_n ruvigny_n be_v send_v hither_o on_o purpose_n to_o ruin_v i_o which_o i_o be_o well_o assure_v at_o this_o time_n they_o will_v rather_o see_v than_o of_o any_o one_o man_n in_o england_n beside_o what_o that_o gentleman_n can_v say_v of_o this_o kind_n if_o he_o please_v i_o hope_v his_o majesty_n will_v give_v i_o leave_v in_o my_o defence_n to_o say_v in_o his_o presence_n and_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o diverse_a lord_n with_o who_o i_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o sit_v in_o the_o committee_n of_o foreign_a affair_n that_o which_o be_v it_o not_o true_a his_o majesty_n must_v think_v i_o the_o impudent_a and_o worst_a of_o man_n to_o affirm_v before_o he_o that_o ever_o since_o i_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o serve_v his_o majesty_n to_o this_o day_n i_o have_v deliver_v it_o as_o my_o constant_a opinion_n that_o france_n be_v the_o worst_a interest_n his_o majesty_n can_v embrace_v and_o that_o they_o be_v the_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n from_o who_o i_o do_v believe_v he_o ought_v to_o apprehend_v the_o great_a danger_n and_o who_o have_v both_o his_o person_n and_o government_n under_o the_o last_o degree_n of_o contempt_n for_o which_o reason_n alone_o be_v there_o no_o other_o i_o will_v never_o advise_v his_o majesty_n to_o trust_v to_o their_o friendship_n my_o lord_n it_o be_v my_o great_a happiness_n that_o your_o lordship_n be_v my_o judge_n who_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n be_v so_o great_a that_o you_o will_v both_o discern_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o evidence_n when_o it_o shall_v come_v before_o you_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n distinguish_v true_o what_o the_o crime_n be_v if_o they_o can_v be_v prove_v and_o not_o what_o they_o be_v call_v for_o this_o reason_n this_o house_n have_v wise_o provide_v to_o have_v the_o special_a matter_n before_o they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v satisfy_v whether_o the_o charge_n have_v its_o right_a denomination_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o desire_v special_a matter_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o see_v whether_o the_o special_a matter_n allege_v be_v what_o it_o be_v call_v as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n be_v accuse_v for_o have_v traitorous_o pass_v the_o river_n in_o a_o pair_n of_o oar_n this_o be_v special_a matter_n and_o style_v treason_n by_o insert_v the_o word_n traitorous_o yet_o your_o lordship_n will_v not_o therefore_o proceed_v as_o take_v it_o for_o treason_n so_o in_o this_o case_n i_o beg_v for_o all_o your_o lordship_n sake_n as_o well_o as_o my_o own_o that_o you_o will_v please_v to_o use_v that_o caution_n which_o will_v be_v necessary_a for_o all_o your_o lordship_n safety_n and_o seat_n in_o this_o house_n for_o i_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n to_o consider_v whither_o such_o a_o precedent_n may_v go_v hereafter_o what_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o may_v do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o his_o majesty_n may_v do_v the_o same_o by_o his_o attorney_n and_o what_o either_o of_o they_o may_v do_v against_o one_o lord_n they_o may_v do_v against_o more_o and_o we_o have_v see_v it_o do_v in_o our_o day_n against_o all_o the_o bishop_n at_o once_o be_v it_o not_o very_o precarious_o then_o that_o your_o lordship_n hold_v your_o seat_n here_o when_o by_o either_o of_o these_o way_n as_o many_o of_o your_o lordship_n as_o for_o a_o time_n it_o may_v be_v convenient_a to_o remove_v shall_v be_v at_o the_o mercy_n of_o have_v a_o thing_n call_v treason_n whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no._n true_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o the_o matter_n of_o my_o charge_n if_o prove_v be_v not_o think_v to_o amount_v to_o treason_n either_o by_o statue_n or_o common_a law_n and_o i_o hope_v your_o lordship_n have_v too_o sad_a a_o example_n in_o your_o memory_n ever_o to_o assist_v the_o make_n of_o treason_n by_o accumulation_n i_o shall_v therefore_o not_o only_o wrong_v my_o own_o innocence_n but_o the_o right_n of_o the_o peer_n to_o submit_v to_o answer_v matter_n of_o misdemeanour_n as_o a_o criminal_a in_o treason_n my_o lord_n i_o wonder_v not_o at_o the_o malicious_a prosecution_n of_o those_o who_o will_v have_v i_o take_v for_o what_o they_o true_o be_v for_o i_o be_o well_o assure_v that_o neither_o the_o french_a take_v i_o to_o be_v of_o their_o interest_n nor_o the_o papist_n to_o be_v of_o their_o religion_n but_o i_o be_o trouble_v to_o fall_v under_o so_o severe_a a_o censure_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o although_o i_o can_v blame_v they_o but_o my_o accuser_n who_o have_v so_o wrongful_o inform_v they_o my_o lord_n i_o will_v conclude_v with_o this_o comfort_n that_o i_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o apprehend_v the_o matter_n of_o my_o charge_n under_o the_o security_n of_o your_o lordship_n justice_n and_o will_v therefore_o trouble_v your_o lordship_n no_o long_o at_o this_o time_n but_o only_o to_o pray_v your_o direction_n whether_o i_o be_o to_o withdraw_v which_o i_o shall_v ready_o obey_v finis_fw-la
