into_o a_o condition_n almost_o as_o bad_a pardon_v i_o my_o lord_n if_o i_o say_v in_o some_o respect_v a_o great_a deal_n worse_o for_o when_o we_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o victor_n we_o know_v we_o can_v fall_v no_o low_o and_o the_o certainty_n of_o our_o misery_n be_v some_o kind_n of_o diminution_n of_o they_o but_o in_o this_o wild_a way_n we_o have_v no_o certainty_n at_o all_o for_o if_o you_o give_v thus_o much_o to_o day_n you_o may_v give_v as_o much_o more_o to_o morrow_n and_o never_o leave_v give_v till_o we_o have_v give_v all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v away_o and_o the_o anxiety_n of_o mind_n which_o arise_v from_o this_o doubtful_a estate_n be_v a_o high_a addition_n to_o our_o affliction_n all_o that_o we_o beg_v my_o lord_n be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o make_v some_o estimate_n of_o ourselves_o will_v his_o majesty_n be_v please_v to_o have_v a_o quarter_n of_o our_o estate_n for_o my_o part_n he_o shall_v have_v it_o will_v his_o

according_a to_o the_o best_a computation_n will_v amount_v to_o little_o less_o than_o three_o million_o of_o money_n a_o prodigious_a sum_n and_o such_o that_o if_o your_o lordship_n shall_v not_o afford_v relief_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n sink_v under_o the_o weight_n of_o so_o heavy_a a_o pressure_n my_o lord_n the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n almighty_n set_v hound_n unto_o the_o ocean_n and_o say_v unto_o it_o hither_o shall_v thy_o proud_a wave_n come_v and_o no_o further_o and_o so_o i_o hope_v your_o lordship_n in_o imitation_n of_o the_o divinity_n will_v set_v some_o bound_n some_o limit_n to_o this_o over_o liberal_a humour_n of_o the_o commons_o and_o say_v to_o they_o hither_o shall_v your_o profuseness_n come_v and_o no_o further_o my_o lord_n either_o your_o lordship_n can_v deny_v or_o moderate_v a_o bill_n for_o money_n come_v from_o the_o commons_o or_o if_o you_o can_v all_o your_o great_a estate_n be_v whole_o at_o their_o disposal_n and_o your_o lordship_n have_v nothing_o that_o you_o can_v proper_o call_v your_o own_o and_o then_o let_v we_o pass_v this_o bill_n without_o further_a examination_n but_o if_o you_o can_v deny_v or_o

matter_n i_o most_o humble_o propose_v to_o your_o lordship_n that_o your_o lordship_n will_v be_v please_v to_o reduce_v the_o 12_o d._n in_o the_o pound_n to_o 8_o d._n and_o true_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v some_o reason_n to_o hope_v that_o if_o your_o lordship_n will_v due_o reflect_v upon_o it_o you_o will_v find_v it_o fit_a to_o do_v according_o for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o service_n to_o his_o majesty_n that_o your_o lordship_n will_v do_v his_o majesty_n in_o it_o the_o high_a service_n in_o the_o world_n for_o although_o you_o shall_v thereby_o take_v from_o his_o majesty_n a_o part_n of_o the_o sum_n you_o will_v give_v he_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o in_o the_o love_n and_o heart_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o there_o his_o majesty_n must_v reign_v if_o he_o will_v be_v great_a and_o glorious_a and_o next_o your_o lordship_n acquire_v to_o yourselves_o eternal_a honour_n you_o shall_v thereby_o endear_v yourselves_o to_o the_o whole_a nation_n who_o for_o the_o future_a will_v look_v upon_o you_o as_o the_o ancient_n do_v upon_o their_o tutelary_a god_n nor_o shall_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o but_o the_o house_n
