several_a query_n relate_v to_o the_o present_a proceed_n in_o parliament_n more_o especial_o recommend_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o bishop_n i._o how_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o can_v answer_v it_o to_o those_o people_n who_o they_o represent_v if_o now_o they_o have_v a_o opportunity_n they_o do_v not_o settle_v the_o government_n upon_o such_o a_o foundation_n as_o will_v be_v likely_a not_o only_o to_o preserve_v the_o nation_n from_o foreign_a enemy_n but_o also_o from_o fall_v into_o the_o like_a unhappy_a circumstance_n which_o it_o be_v but_o just_a now_o escape_v out_o of_o and_o which_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n have_v proceed_v from_o a_o want_n of_o a_o right_a settlement_n of_o public_a affair_n at_o the_o restauration_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o ii_o whether_o this_o can_v be_v do_v without_o alter_v the_o succession_n sin●●_n the_o birth_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o wales_n be_v not_o prove_v supposititious_a ●●_o though_o perhaps_o

first_o when_o the_o next_o right_n of_o succession_n be_v claim_v by_o the_o infanta_n of_o spain_n or_o perhaps_o some_o prince_n her_o heir_n too_o strong_a to_o resist_v without_o the_o

be_v worth_a the_o prince_n of_o orange_n while_n to_o leave_v holland_n where_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a man_n and_o become_v a_o subject_a in_o england_n nay_o and_o have_v such_o a_o uncertain_a

the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o the_o irish_a rebellion_n to_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o effect_n which_o the_o entreaty_n and_o subtle_a insinuation_n of_o a_o father_n must_v necessary_o have_v upon_o any_o one_o that_o be_v good_a nature_a it_o be_v safe_a to_o trust_v the_o administration_n of_o affair_n to_o a_o woman_n though_o never_o so_o virtuous_a and_o whether_o we_o shall_v be_v

foreign_a alliance_n be_v such_o as_o we_o can_v never_o hope_v to_o obtain_v if_o we_o confer_v the_o crown_n upon_o any_o other_o v._o whether_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a real_a kindness_n to_o the_o princess_n of_o orange_n to_o make_v her_o sole_a queen_n after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o she_o will_v be_v likely_a to_o be_v turn_v out_o again_o or_o to_o make_v she_o and_o her_o husband_n joint_a king_n and_o queen_n during_o their_o two_o life_n i_o say_v her_o husband_n who_o be_v a_o prince_n not_o only_o able_a to_o defend_v she_o and_o her_o kingdom_n from_o all_o the_o danger_n that_o may_v happen_v but_o also_o to_o take_v all_o the_o trouble_v which_o may_v occur_v in_o the_o administration_n of_o affair_n off_o her_o hand_n so_o that_o she_o will_v enjoy_v all_o the_o

the_o nation_n their_o freedom_n vi_o whether_o the_o term_n the_o parliament_n shall_v make_v with_o one_o that_o can_v pretend_v no_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n but_o what_o they_o give_v he_o will_v not_o be_v more_o likely_a to_o be_v keep_v by_o he_o than_o by_o one_o that_o pretend_v a_o title_n and_o will_v be_v flatter_v up_o both_o by_o lawyer_n and_o divine_n i_o mean_v the_o scum_n

and_o princess_n of_o orange_n be_v crown_v king_n and_o queen_n for_o their_o two_o life_n and_o whether_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o the_o commons_o shall_v so_o far_o betray_v their_o

suffer_v themselves_o any_o long_a to_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o the_o bishop_n in_o a_o thing_n that_o will_v be_v so_o injurious_a to_o the_o nation_n as_o it_o will_v be_v not_o to_o comply_v
