grievance_n and_o to_o maintain_v the_o old_a land_n mark_n the_o house_n of_o commons_o business_n be_v to_o complain_v your_o lordship_n to_o redress_v not_o only_o from_o they_o that_o be_v the_o

law_n grow_v so_o multiply_v they_o prove_v often_o snare_n than_o direction_n and_o security_n of_o the_o people_n i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o the_o ignorance_n and_o weakness_n of_o the_o latter_a age_n if_o not_o worse_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o design_n of_o ill-man_n that_o it_o be_v grow_v a_o general_a opinion_n that_o where_o there_o be_v not_o particular_a direction_n in_o some_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o law_n be_v defective_a as_o if_o the_o common_a law_n have_v not_o provide_v much_o better_o short_a and_o plain_a for_o the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o the_o nation_n then_o

for_o life_n and_o you_o for_o inheritance_n let_v the_o world_n judge_n for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o willing_a to_o come_v to_o a_o conference_n whenever_o the_o dispute_n shall_v begin_v again_o and_o

we_o shall_v rather_o appoint_v a_o day_n to_o consider_v what_o to_o do_v upon_o the_o petition_n than_o to_o appoint_v a_o day_n of_o hear_v and_o my_o lord_n keeper_n for_o i_o may_v name_v they_o at_o a_o committee_n of_o the_o whole_a house_n tell_v we_o in_o very_o eloquent_a and_o study_a language_n that_o he_o will_v propose_v we_o a_o way_n far_o less_o liable_a to_o exception_n and_o much_o less_o offensive_a and_o injurious_a to_o our_o own_o privilege_n then_o that_o of_o appoint_v a_o day_n of_o hear_v and_o i_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n do_v you_o not_o after_o all_o these_o fine_a word_n expect_v some_o admirable_a proposal_n but_o it_o end_v in_o this_o that_o your_o lordship_n shall_v appoint_v a_o day_n nay_o a_o very_a long_a day_n to_o consider_v what_o you_o will_v do_v in_o it_o and_o my_o lord_n have_v undertake_v to_o convince_v you_o that_o this_o be_v your_o only_a course_n by_o several_a undeniable_a reason_n the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v against_o our_o judicature_n to_o hear_v this_o cause_n which_o be_v not_o proper_a before_o we_o nor_o aught_o to_o be_v relieve_v by_o we_o to_o this_o my_o lord_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o answer_v that_o i_o do_v not_o expect_v from_o a_o man_n profess_v the_o law_n that_o after_o a_o answer_n by_o order_n of_o the_o court_n be_v put_v in_o and_o a_o day_n have_v be_v appoint_v for_o

the_o court_n do_v enter_v into_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o if_o your_o lordship_n shall_v do_v it_o here_o in_o a_o cause_n attend_v with_o the_o circumstance_n this_o be_v it_o will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o apparent_a injustice_n but_o a_o plain_a subterfuge_n to_o accord_v a_o point_n you_o dare_v not_o maintain_v but_o my_o lord_n second_o reason_n speak_v the_o matter_n more_o clear_o for_o that_o be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o doubtful_a case_n whether_o the_o commons_o have_v not_o privilege_n and_o therefore_o my_o lord_n will_v have_v you_o to_o appoint_v a_o further_a day_n to_o consider_v of_o it_o which_o in_o plain_a english_a be_v that_o your_o lordship_n shall_v confess_v upon_o your_o book_n that_o you_o conceive_v upon_o second_o thought_n a_o doubtful_a case_n for_o so_o your_o appoint_v a_o day_n will_v do_v and_o that_o for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o my_o lord_n keeper_n think_v it_o so_o i_o hope_v will_v not_o be_v a_o reason_n to_o prevail_v with_o your_o lordship_n since_o we_o can_v yet_o by_o experience_n tell_v that_o his_o lordship_n be_v capable_a of_o think_v your_o lordship_n in_o the_o right_n in_o any_o matter_n against_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o it_o be_v too_o hard_a a_o thing_n for_o the_o able_a of_o man_n to_o change_v ill_a habit_n but_o my_o lord_n the_o reason_n be_v the_o most_o admirable_a of_o all_o which_o he_o style_v unanswerable_a viz._n that_o your_o lordship_n be_v all_o convince_v in_o your_o own_o conscience_n that_o this_o if_o prosecute_v will_v cause_v a_o breach_n i_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n consider_v whither_o this_o argument_n thus_o apply_v will_v not_o overthrow_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o all_o the_o law_n of_o right_n and_o property_n in_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n and_o a_o very_a good_a one_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o stand_v or_o insist_v upon_o claim_n where_o you_o have_v not_o a_o clear_a right_n or_o where_o the_o question_n be_v not_o of_o consequence_n and_o of_o moment_n in_o a_o matter_n that_o may_v produce_v a_o dangerous_a and_o pernicious_a breach_n between_o relation_n person_n or_o body_n politic_a join_v in_o interest_n in_o high_a concern_v together_o so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o the_o obstinacy_n of_o the_o party_n in_o the_o wrong_n shall_v be_v make_v a_o unanswerable_a argument_n for_o the_o other_o party_n to_o recede_v and_o give_v up_o his_o just_a right_n how_o long_o shall_v the_o people_n keep_v their_o liberty_n or_o the_o prince_n the_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n their_o prerogative_n how_o long_o the_o husband_n maintain_v his_o dominion_n or_o any_o man_n his_o property_n from_o his_o friend_n or_o neighbour_n obstinacy_n but_o my_o lord_n when_o i_o hear_v my_o lord_n keeper_n open_a so_o eloquent_o the_o fatal_a consequence_n of_o a_o breach_n i_o can_v forbear_v to_o fall_v into_o some_o admiration_n how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o if_o the_o consequence_n be_v so_o fatal_a the_o king_n minister_n in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o of_o which_o there_o be_v several_a that_o be_v of_o the_o cabinet_n and_o
