westminster-hall_n for_o as_o we_o desire_v to_o have_v few_o or_o no_o cause_n bring_v before_o we_o because_o we_o get_v nothing_o by_o they_o so_o they_o desire_v to_o have_v all_o cause_n bring_v before_o they_o for_o a_o reason_n a_o little_a of_o the_o contrary_a nature_n for_o this_o very_a reason_n it_o be_v their_o business_n to_o invent_v new_a way_n of_o draw_v cause_n to_o their_o court_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v plead_v there_o as_o for_o example_n this_o very_a cause_n of_o skinner_n that_o be_v now_o before_o we_o and_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o by_o roat_n for_o i_o have_v the_o opinion_n of_o a_o reverend_a judge_n in_o the_o case_n who_o inform_v we_o of_o it_o the_o other_o day_n in_o the_o house_n they_o have_v no_o way_n of_o bring_v this_o cause_n into_o westminster-hall_n but_o by_o this_o form_n the_o reason_n and_o sense_n of_o which_o i_o leave_v to_o you_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o form_n be_v this_o that_o instead_o of_o speak_v as_o we_o ordinary_a man_n do_v that_o have_v no_o art_n that_o mr._n skinner_n lose_v a_o ship_n in_o the_o east-indies_n to_o bring_v this_o into_o their_o court_n they_o must_v say_v that_o mr._n skinner_n lose_v a_o ship_n in_o the_o east-indies_n in_o the_o parish_n of_o islington_n in_o the_o county_n of_o middlesex_n now_o some_o of_o we_o lord_n that_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o refineness_n of_o this_o style_n begin_v to_o examine_v what_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o shall_v be_v and_o so_o we_o find_v that_o since_o they_o ought_v not_o by_o right_a to_o try_v such_o cause_n they_o be_v resolve_v to_o make_v bold_a not_o only_o with_o our_o privilege_n but_o the_o very_a sense_n and_o language_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n this_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o mention_v only_o to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o this_o whole_a cause_n as_o well_o as_o many_o other_o can_v not_o be_v try_v proper_o in_o any_o place_n but_o at_o our_o bar_n except_o mr._n skinner_n will_v have_v take_v a_o fancy_n to_o try_v the_o right_n of_o jurisdiction_n between_o westminster-hall_n and_o the_o court_n of_o admiralty_n instead_o of_o seek_v relief_n for_o the_o injury_n he_o have_v receive_v in_o the_o place_n only_o where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v give_v he_o one_o thing_n i_o hear_v be_v much_o insist_v upon_o which_o be_v the_o trial_n without_o juries_n to_o which_o i_o can_v answer_v that_o such_o trial_n be_v allow_v of_o in_o the_o chancery_n and_o other_o court_n and_o that_o when_o there_o be_v occasion_n for_o they_o we_o make_v use_v of_o juries_n too_o both_o by_o direct_v they_o in_o the_o king_n bench_n and_o have_v they_o bring_v up_o to_o our_o bar._n but_o i_o shall_v only_o crave_v leave_n to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n that_o if_o you_o do_v not_o allow_v we_o in_o some_o case_n to_o try_v man_n without_o juries_n you_o will_v then_o absolute_o take_v away_o the_o use_n of_o impeachment_n which_o i_o humble_o conceive_v you_o will_v not_o think_v proper_a to_o have_v do_v at_o this_o time_n the_o duke_n '_o be_v speech_n in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n my_o lord_n there_o be_v a_o thing_n call_v property_n which_o whatever_o some_o man_n may_v think_v be_v that_o

kind_n of_o life_n to_o any_o man_n that_o have_v either_o christian_a charity_n humanity_n or_o good-nature_n to_o see_v his_o fellow-subject_n daily_o abuse_v divest_v of_o their_o liberty_n and_o

be_v something_o in_o it_o yet_o worse_o for_o we_o protestant_n maintain_v that_o none_o of_o those_o opinion_n which_o christian_n differ_v about_o be_v infallible_a and_o therefore_o in_o we_o it_o

they_o will_v not_o agree_v with_o we_o in_o our_o uncertain_a opinion_n of_o religion_n my_o humble_a motion_n therefore_o to_o your_o lordship_n be_v that_o you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o bring_v in_o a_o bill_n of_o indulgence_n to_o all_o dissenting-protestants_a i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o every_o peer_n of_o the_o realm_n have_v a_o right_a to_o bring_v into_o parliament_n any_o bill_n which_o he_o conceive_v to_o be_v useful_a to_o this_o nation_n but_o i_o think_v it_o more_o respectful_a to_o your_o lordship_n to_o ask_v your_o leave_n for_o it_o before_o i_o can_v think_v the_o do_n of_o it_o will_v be_v of_o any_o prejudice_n to_o the_o bill_n because_o i_o be_o confident_a the_o reason_n the_o prudence_n and_o the_o charitableness_n of_o it_o will_v be_v able_a to_o justify_v itself_o to_o this_o house_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a world_n the_o duke_z '_o s_n speech_n in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n my_o lord_n i_o have_v often_o trouble_v your_o

where_o i_o shall_v begin_v or_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v to_o your_o lordship_n on_o the_o one_o side_n i_o be_o afraid_a of_o be_v think_v a_o unquiet_a and_o pragmatical_a man_n for_o in_o this_o age_n every_o man_n that_o can_v bear_v every_o thing_n be_v call_v unquiet_a and_o he_o that_o do_v but_o ask_v question_n for_o which_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v concern_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o pragmatical_a on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o be_o more_o afraid_a of_o be_v think_v a_o dishonest_a man_n and_o of_o all_o man_n i_o be_o most_o afraid_a of_o be_v think_v so_o by_o myself_o for_o every_o one_o be_v best_a judge_n of_o the_o integrity_n of_o his_o own_o intention_n and_o though_o it_o do_v not_o always_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v pragmatical_a who_o other_o take_v to_o be_v so_o yet_o this_o never_o fail_v to_o be_v true_a that_o he_o be_v most_o certain_o a_o knave_n who_o take_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o no_o body_n be_v answerable_a for_o more_o understanding_n than_o god_n almighty_n have_v give_v he_o and_o therefore_o though_o i_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o wrong_n if_o i_o tell_v your_o lordship_n true_o and_o plain_o what_o i_o be_o real_o conviced_a of_o i_o shall_v behave_v myself_o like_o a_o honest_a man_n for_o it_o be_v my_o duty_n as_o long_o as_o i_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o sit_v in_o this_o house_n to_o hide_v nothing_o from_o your_o

my_o opinion_n which_o now_o lie_v before_o your_o lordship_n be_v not_o what_o we_o be_v to_o do_v but_o whether_o at_o this_o time_n we_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n as_o a_o parliament_n it_o be_v

by_o the_o same_o reason_n if_o a_o parliament_n be_v not_o legal_o adjourn_v the_o die_n &_o in_fw-la diem_fw-la these_o parliament_n must_v also_o be_v void_a and_o null_v o_o but_o some_o say_v
