very_o happy_a that_o you_o have_v give_v this_o committee_n of_o parliament_n such_o satisfaction_n and_o also_o that_o we_o have_v give_v this_o court_n the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o intention_n how_o far_o the_o parliament_n be_v from_o give_v you_o any_o just_a occasion_n i_o have_v already_o give_v you_o assurance_n of_o and_o i_o hope_v this_o conference_n will_v give_v we_o a_o better_a and_o more_o firm_a confidence_n one_o in_o the_o other_o that_o so_o we_o may_v walk_v together_o in_o a_o mutual_a and_o happy_a compliance_n it_o be_v hint_v by_o the_o worthy_a alderman_n that_o speak_v last_o how_o that_o the_o post_n and_o chain_n be_v set_v up_o for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o city_n and_o to_o prevent_v such_o danger_n as_o they_o be_v so_o late_o threaten_v with_o this_o i_o must_v confess_v be_v a_o just_a occasion_n to_o secure_v yourselves_o from_o hazard_n of_o this_o nature_n but_o why_o it_o shall_v now_o be_v do_v when_o your_o danger_n be_v past_a and_o when_o that_o authority_n be_v in_o be_v which_o you_o pretend_v to_o have_v so_o ardent_a desire_n too_o and_o which_o i_o may_v say_v you_o can_v fear_v when_o you_o consider_v how_o tender_a they_o have_v be_v to_o the_o people_n how_o great_a friend_n they_o have_v be_v to_o the_o commerce_n and_o trade_n of_o this_o place_n and_o how_o desirous_a they_o former_o have_v be_v to_o preserve_v the_o privilege_n and_o right_n of_o it_o against_o all_o danger_n and_o invasion_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o small_a happiness_n that_o from_o a_o confusion_n so_o late_o here_o there_o shall_v be_v this_o calm_a and_o this_o tranquillity_n in_o the_o several_a discourse_n i_o apprehend_v there_o have_v be_v a_o little_a glance_n at_o the_o form_n of_o government_n and_o though_o we_o have_v no_o instruction_n as_o to_o that_o yet_o since_o the_o opportunity_n be_v give_v i_o will_v let_v you_o understand_v what_o i_o perceive_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o parliament_n be_v their_o whole_a design_n be_v a_o commonwealth_n government_n that_o be_v that_o the_o nation_n shall_v be_v govern_v by_o successive_a parliament_n free_o choose_v by_o the_o people_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o know_v not_o how_o this_o may_v agree_v with_o the_o inclination_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n for_o it_o have_v be_v my_o misfortune_n never_o to_o have_v know_v a_o quiet_a or_o a_o establish_a government_n among_o we_o so_o that_o i_o can_v speak_v but_o of_o such_o a_o one_o as_o i_o have_v be_v inform_v of_o and_o such_o a_o part_n of_o one_o as_o i_o a_o little_a time_n live_v under_o the_o first_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o war_n the_o other_o disturb_v before_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o perfection_n yet_o under_o that_o little_a glimpse_n we_o have_v of_o what_o we_o shall_v have_v it_o may_v easy_o be_v discover_v that_o be_v not_o likely_a to_o be_v a_o unproffitable_a one_o and_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o most_o of_o this_o honourable_a number_n will_v affirm_v the_o same_o it_o be_v a_o season_n wherein_o trade_n so_o flourish_v and_o the_o merchant_n make_v so_o successful_a return_n that_o i_o believe_v most_o of_o you_o can_v date_n the_o begeting_n of_o your_o wealth_n from_o the_o time_n you_o be_v under_o that_o authority_n and_o if_o any_o of_o you_o have_v have_v loss_n you_o must_v derive_v they_o from_o succeed_a time_n which_o have_v be_v very_o unfortunate_a to_o this_o nation_n and_o most_o unhappy_a to_o this_o city_n there_o be_v in_o europe_n several_a form_n of_o governmernt_a some_o under_o monarchy_n other_o under_o free-state_n the_o first_o may_v be_v good_a the_o other_o we_o be_v certain_a be_v very_o beneficial_a to_o the_o people_n that_o live_v under_o they_o as_o there_o be_v many_o of_o you_o can_v witness_v from_o what_o you_o have_v observe_v in_o some_o part_n of_o italy_n germany_n france_n and_o from_o our_o rich_a and_o near_a neighbour_n the_o free-state_n of_o holland_n who_o have_v now_o master_v the_o trade_n of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o swallow_v the_o english_a glory_n and_o wealth_n and_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n this_o proceed_v from_o the_o very_a form_n of_o government_n which_o be_v among_o they_o but_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o like_v it_o so_o well_o as_o that_o i_o can_v wish_v a_o imitation_n of_o it_o here_o for_o it_o will_v neither_o agree_v with_o the_o interest_n nor_o the_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n it_o not_o be_v generous_a enough_o for_o so_o magnanimous_a a_o people_n i_o have_v speak_v all_o this_o my_o lord_n break_o because_o it_o be_v only_a to_o answer_v objection_n that_o have_v be_v make_v and_o i_o be_o very_o sensible_a of_o the_o trouble_n i_o have_v detain_v you_o with_o i_o shall_v therefore_o conclude_v with_o this_o advice_n that_o this_o city_n will_v be_v careful_a how_o they_o make_v causeless_a jealousy_n and_o by_o make_v preparation_n against_o they_o you_o may_v create_v real_a danger_n for_o it_o be_v not_o my_o observation_n only_o but_o of_o the_o best_a historian_n that_o when_o too_o much_o mistrust_v of_o their_o danger_n have_v be_v infuse_v into_o the_o multitude_n they_o make_v their_o resort_n to_o number_n and_o very_o quick_o increase_v and_o common_o the_o most_o indigent_a be_v the_o most_o luxurious_a when_o have_v their_o opportunity_n they_o become_v their_o own_o carver_n and_o if_o underhand_o this_o be_v compose_v for_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o the_o king_n as_o that_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o many_o why_o then_o certain_o if_o he_o find_v the_o indigent_a do_v his_o business_n it_o be_v his_o interest_n to_o enrich_v they_o with_o the_o wealth_n of_o those_o that_o be_v less_o active_a though_o not_o less_o desirous_a to_o have_v the_o thing_n do_v thus_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v give_v you_o my_o opinion_n and_o my_o advice_n must_v be_v that_o your_o lordship_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o this_o honourable_a number_n will_v make_v it_o your_o endeavour_n to_o appease_v the_o distraction_n not_o to_o inflame_v they_o the_o one_o relish_v much_o of_o prudence_n the_o other_o of_o precipitancy_n finis_fw-la
