rich._n ii_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n make_v a_o solemn_a protestation_n in_o the_o parliament_n for_o himself_o and_o the_o clergy_n of_o his_o province_n for_o that_o matter_n of_o treason_n be_v to_o be_v entreat_v of_o whereat_o by_o the_o canonical_a law_n they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v present_a they_o therefore_o absent_v themselves_o but_o in_o regard_n i_o have_v hitherto_o vouch_a my_o lord_n cook_n for_o what_o i_o have_v say_v i_o desire_v that_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o he_o write_v since_o the_o reformation_n and_o what_o be_v law_n when_o he_o write_v be_v law_n at_o this_o day_n unless_o it_o be_v change_v by_o some_o act_n of_o parliament_n make_v since_o and_o therefore_o he_o that_o deny_v my_o lord_n cook_n to_o have_v write_v law_n must_v produce_v some_o act_n of_o parliament_n whereby_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o law_n be_v alter_v since_o his_o time_n beside_o this_o the_o bishop_n and_o other_o clergy_n be_v call_v to_o parliament_n very_o uncertain_o sometime_o more_o sometime_o few_o and_o sometime_o none_o at_o all_o as_o it_o be_v in_o edw._n i._o time_n therefore_o see_v the_o case_n to_o be_v thus_o that_o the_o bishop_n be_v not_o peer_n but_o only_a lord_n of_o parliament_n that_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v good_a though_o they_o be_v absent_a that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v try_v by_o commoner_n and_o that_o when_o capital_a matter_n be_v to_o be_v debate_v they_o have_v withdraw_v themselves_o declare_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v to_o do_v in_o such_o thing_n and_o also_o that_o they_o have_v not_o so_o absolute_a a_o right_a to_o sit_v and_o vote_n in_o the_o house_n as_o the_o temporal_a lord_n have_v because_o they_o be_v call_v to_o parliament_n so_o uncertain_o i_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o hear_v what_o can_v be_v say_v to_o make_v their_o right_a unquestionable_a but_o if_o all_o this_o be_v set_v aside_o yet_o it_o remain_v on_o their_o part_n to_o prove_v that_o they_o have_v sit_v in_o judgement_n upon_o the_o peer_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v they_o will_v be_v hardly_o put_v to_o it_o to_o produce_v any_o precedent_n out_o of_o good_a time_n when_o the_o nation_n be_v in_o quiet_a and_o the_o law_n have_v its_o course_n nay_o i_o think_v they_o can_v scarcey_a find_v any_o that_o the_o proceed_v of_o that_o parliament_n when_o it_o be_v do_v be_v not_o repeal_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o stand_v so_o at_o this_o day_n and_o i_o shall_v also_o be_v glad_a to_o see_v that_o when_o a_o peer_n have_v be_v try_v out_o of_o parliament_n that_o any_o bishop_n be_v ever_o nominate_v to_o sit_v upon_o that_o lord_n accuse_v for_o out_o of_o parliament_n if_o a_o peer_n be_v try_v for_o his_o life_n it_o be_v by_o a_o select_a number_n name_v by_o the_o king_n and_o if_o the_o bishop_n have_v right_o to_o sit_v and_o vote_n upon_o the_o peer_n it_o be_v strange_a methinks_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o instance_n to_o be_v find_v where_o the_o bishop_n or_o any_o of_o they_o have_v be_v name_v to_o judge_v a_o lord_n out_o of_o parliament_n now_o the_o reason_n as_o i_o conceive_v how_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v be_v because_o it_o be_v never_o know_v that_o a_o bishop_n be_v try_v by_o the_o lord_n out_o of_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v try_v a_o lord_n out_o of_o parliament_n because_o they_o be_v not_o peer_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v never_o try_v any_o bishop_n but_o in_o parliament_n and_o that_o be_v always_o upon_o impeachment_n and_o not_o otherwise_o and_o upon_o a_o impeachment_n they_o may_v try_v other_o commoner_n as_o well_o as_o bishop_n beside_o this_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o clergy_n even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n will_v not_o have_v to_o do_v with_o blood_n in_o any_o case_n whatsoever_o for_o when_o they_o engross_v all_o office_n and_o place_n of_o honour_n or_o profit_n you_o shall_v not_o find_v any_o bishop_n that_o be_v lord_n chief_a justice_n of_o the_o king_n bench_n or_o judge_n of_o any_o court_n where_o man_n life_n be_v to_o be_v meddle_v with_o and_o the_o clergy_n be_v not_o so_o ignorant_a or_o backward_o in_o their_o interest_n as_o to_o let_v slip_v such_o profitable_a place_n have_v it_o suit_v with_o their_o function_n i_o have_v often_o consider_v with_o myself_o what_o it_o be_v that_o have_v induce_v so_o many_o of_o the_o temporal_a lord_n to_o contend_v for_o the_o bishop_n in_o this_o case_n i_o can_v perceive_v but_o that_o it_o be_v against_o themselves_o that_o they_o strive_v for_o without_o doubt_n the_o few_o that_o the_o temporal_a lord_n be_v the_o more_o considerable_a they_o be_v and_o why_o they_o shall_v strive_v to_o make_v themselves_o less_o i_o can_v comprehend_v neither_o can_v any_o reason_n be_v assign_v but_o that_o which_o be_v obvious_a to_o every_o man_n thought_n that_o there_o be_v some_o secret_a power_n that_o govern_v their_o lordship_n in_o this_o affair_n but_o without_o doubt_v this_o powerful_a hand_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o turn_v the_o scale_n so_o very_o much_o if_o nobility_n have_v be_v bestow_v only_o on_o such_o as_o deserve_v honour_n but_o when_o interest_n prevail_v above_o merit_n no_o wonder_n that_o a_o word_n or_o a_o look_v do_v command_v so_o absolute_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v this_o to_o be_v say_v for_o the_o lord_n house_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o lord_n who_o retain_v the_o worth_n and_o honour_n of_o their_o ancestor_n that_o notwithstanding_o be_v frown_v upon_o displace_v and_o all_o possible_a discouragement_n yet_o have_v they_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v man_n of_o english_a principle_n that_o they_o will_v serve_v the_o king_n as_o englishman_n but_o will_v not_o give_v up_o any_o of_o their_o just_a right_n to_o please_v he_o if_o the_o bishop_n have_v never_o so_o clear_a a_o right_n in_o this_o matter_n the_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o whatever_o right_o they_o have_v that_o it_o be_v gain_v in_o the_o time_n of_o superstition_n and_o blindness_n when_o the_o clergy_n usurp_v and_o lord_v it_o over_o the_o nation_n and_o therefore_o in_o regard_n that_o england_n have_v now_o recover_v its_o eyesight_n and_o understanding_n they_o be_v very_o unthankful_a if_o they_o do_v not_o reduce_v every_o thing_n to_o its_o proper_a station_n and_o if_o the_o bishop_n be_v prohibit_v by_o a_o law_n not_o to_o vote_n in_o case_n of_o blood_n or_o be_v abridge_v in_o any_o other_o matter_n where_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o king_n and_o people_n require_v yet_o the_o church_n be_v not_o prejudice_v for_o my_o lord_n cook_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o institutes_n nec_fw-la

for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o king_n and_o people_n that_o the_o bishop_n shall_v not_o vote_n in_o case_n of_o blood_n i_o submit_v to_o any_o man_n that_o wish_v well_o to_o england_n now_o i_o will_v fain_o be_v satisfy_v why_o our_o bishop_n be_v more_o forward_o to_o have_v to_o do_v in_o case_n of_o blood_n than_o the_o bishop_n and_o clergy_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n it_o be_v plain_a they_o always_o decline_v it_o but_o we_o will_v adventure_v a_o kingdom_n upon_o it_o it_o be_v true_a they_o will_v withdraw_v upon_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o five_o popish_a lord_n but_o they_o will_v not_o upon_o trial_n of_o my_o lord_n d_o s_o pardon_v yet_o thus_o far_o they_o condescend_v that_o when_o judgement_n be_v to_o be_v pronounce_v they_o will_v withdraw_v very_o well_o first_o it_o be_v confess_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o if_o my_o lord_n d_o s_o pardon_v do_v not_o hold_v good_a he_o die_v for_o it_o and_o next_o i_o will_v willing_o understand_v the_o difference_n in_o this_o case_n when_o a_o man_n be_v try_v for_o his_o life_n before_o several_a judge_n and_o all_o of_o they_o though_o he_o be_v innocent_a resolve_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v pronounce_v guilty_a but_o they_o withdraw_v themselves_o and_o leave_v one_o of_o their_o brethren_n to_o pass_v the_o sentence_n now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v absent_a be_v not_o as_o guilty_a of_o shed_v innocent_a blood_n as_o he_o who_o pronounce_v the_o sentence_n and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a for_o any_o other_o thing_n whatever_o and_o whether_o this_o do_v not_o reach_v the_o case_n in_o hand_n i_o humble_o submit_v but_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v the_o bishop_n do_v know_v that_o if_o my_o lord_n d_o s_o pardon_v be_v allow_v then_o arbitrary_a power_n come_v in_o with_o a_o powder_n and_o then_o will_v be_v their_o harvest_n

so_o great_a draw_v he_o aside_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v peace_n in_o our_o israel_n i_o doubt_v not_o gentleman_n but_o you_o will_v do_v your_o part_n and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o i_o have_v to_o trouble_v you_o with_o at_o this_o time_n the_o legality_n of_o the_o convention-parliament_n though_o not_o call_v by_o writ_n it_o be_v a_o new_a sort_n of_o doctrine_n that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o power_n to_o do_v a_o great_a thing_n there_o can_v also_o be_v to_o do_v a_o less_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v bear_v counsellor_n to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n the_o member_n of_o

so_o that_o the_o representative_n of_o the_o nation_n assemble_v without_o a_o writ_n can_v only_o do_v one_o thing_n and_o that_o the_o high_a to_o make_v a_o king_n and_o by_o like_a reason_n if_o when_o assemble_v by_o writ_n can_v do_v every_o thing_n but_o the_o great_a but_o it_o be_v against_o all_o manner_n of_o reason_n and_o policy_n to_o suppose_v that_o the_o power_n that_o can_v make_v a_o king_n can_v do_v every_o thing_n else_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o settle_v the_o government_n if_o those_o gentleman_n have_v understand_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o writ_n and_o be_v so_o ingenious_a as_o to_o confess_v it_o they_o will_v not_o have_v make_v that_o a_o objection_n against_o the_o validity_n of_o the_o last_o parliament_n writ_n be_v necessary_a in_o their_o

the_o consent_n of_o the_o nation_n by_o their_o legal_a representative_n to_o establish_v any_o thing_n into_o a_o law_n writ_n can_v amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o the_o

that_o wherever_o the_o power_n of_o the_o government_n rest_v it_o may_v if_o it_o see_v cause_n direct_v that_o parliament_n shall_v be_v convene_v in_o any_o other_o manner_n or_o by_o any_o other_o mean_n than_o by_o writ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o writ_n that_o make_v a_o man_n a_o true_a representative_a but_o the_o election_n of_o those_o who_o have_v right_a to_o choose_v for_o that_o place_n for_o otherwise_o the_o sheriff_n or_o other_o officer_n may_v have_v return_v who_o he_o see_v good_a and_o election_n will_v be_v needless_a but_o the_o law_n have_v more_o express_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o election_n that_o make_v the_o person_n a_o right_a member_n and_o so_o consequent_o the_o election_n of_o the_o people_n be_v that_o which_o give_v the_o essence_n to_o a_o parliament_n because_o the_o law_n have_v under_o greivious_a pain_n command_v that_o election_n shall_v be_v free_a and_o since_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n make_v choice_n of_o writ_n for_o the_o canvening_n of_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o nation_n why_o be_v not_o the_o parliament_n as_o due_o concern_v and_o the_o act_n they_o pass_v as_o good_a since_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v summon_v in_o due_a form_n and_o these_o gentleman_n may_v as_o well_o have_v insist_v that_o a_o nation_n may_v want_v a_o power_n to_o help_v itself_o as_o to_o object_v against_o the_o validity_n of_o the_o last_o parliament_n because_o call_v without_o writ_n by_o the_o weight_n that_o they_o lie_v upon_o a_o writ_n they_o do_v seem_v to_o make_v a_o writ_n more_o necessary_a to_o a_o parliament_n than_o our_o allegiance_n be_v to_o the_o government_n and_o if_o that_o be_v so_o that_o which_o be_v only_o a_o circumstance_n in_o the_o government_n be_v more_o to_o be_v regard_v than_o what_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o peace_n of_o it_o but_o to_o grant_v that_o absurdity_n what_o be_v it_o that_o have_v give_v the_o sanction_n to_o these_o new_a oath_n that_o our_o sit_v and_o vote_v in_o parliament_n have_v not_o put_v we_o under_o all_o the_o disability_n of_o 30_o caroli_n for_o we_o be_v certain_o within_o that_o statute_n if_o the_o last_o

of_o england_n be_v hereditary_a ii_o whether_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n ought_v to_o be_v exclude_v sir_n the_o question_n that_o you_o have_v propose_v to_o i_o be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o they_o require_v a_o very_a strict_a consideration_n because_o they_o be_v of_o the_o great_a moment_n in_o our_o present_a condition_n and_o therefore_o you_o have_v do_v i_o a_o great_a honour_n to_o command_v my_o thought_n upon_o they_o in_o regard_n you_o may_v have_v have_v your_o query_n resolve_v by_o person_n much_o more_o able_a than_o i_o be_o but_o since_o you_o desire_v my_o

and_o also_o that_o they_o depose_v they_o very_o frequent_o and_o set_v up_o other_o in_o their_o stead_n when_o upon_o trial_n they_o be_v find_v unfit_a for_o the_o purpose_n he_o that_o say_v otherwise_o confess_v himself_o either_o not_o to_o have_v read_v our_o english_a story_n or_o that_o he_o understand_v not_o what_o he_o read_v and_o if_o yourself_o doubt_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o affirm_v i_o will_v at_o any_o time_n give_v you_o a_o particular_a account_n of_o it_o till_o the_o entrance_n of_o the_o norman_n william_n the_o first_o common_o call_v the_o conqueror_n we_o must_v begin_v with_o he_o who_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a have_v no_o right_a or_o title_n to_o the_o crown_n by_o inheritance_n or_o descent_n and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o he_o do_v not_o

he_o be_v alive_a william_n can_v not_o pretend_v any_o title_n by_o inheritance_n but_o must_v find_v out_o some_o other_o way_n to_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o therefore_o he_o pretend_v one_o while_o a_o compact_a between_o he_o and_o harold_n and_o again_o that_o it_o be_v leave_v to_o he_o by_o edward_n the_o confessor_n by_o his_o will_n yet_o he_o find_v that_o all_o these_o be_v but_o

the_o king_n strive_v to_o please_v the_o people_n and_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o gratify_v he_o by_o connive_v at_o his_o fault_n but_o beside_o all_o this_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v to_o

that_o his_o appearance_n at_o the_o parliament_n give_v great_a distaste_n to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o they_o be_v so_o far_o incense_v that_o they_o begin_v the_o parliament_n with_o a_o fresh_a accusation_n against_o he_o and_o other_o so_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o court_n to_o corrupt_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o the_o time_n of_o henry_n viii_o about_o the_o 20_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n when_o the_o parliament_n be_v active_a against_o plurality_n and_o nonresidence_n there_o be_v a_o act_n pass_v to_o release_v

must_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o pensioner_n in_o parliament_n till_o this_o pack_n of_o blade_n be_v get_v together_o therefore_o sir_n what_o will_v you_o do_v shall_v these_o

their_o favourite_n do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n pick_v up_o mean_a man_n people_n of_o no_o fortune_n or_o estate_n upon_o who_o it_o be_v that_o they_o place_v their_o favour_n to_o so_o high_a

which_o no_o prince_n can_v have_v that_o rule_n by_o a_o army_n therefore_o before_o we_o can_v expect_v that_o his_o majesty_n will_v come_v in_o to_o we_o these_o people_n of_o arbitrary_a

must_v expect_v the_o same_o result_v and_o this_o alone_a will_v not_o do_v it_o it_o be_v but_o the_o first_o step_n to_o our_o happiness_n the_o principle_n or_o maxim_n of_o state_n must_v be_v

the_o first_o news_n of_o it_o i_o meet_v with_o a_o gentleman_n that_o have_v a_o great_a service_n for_o white-hall_n say_v he_o i_o hope_v now_o you_o be_v please_v what_o can_v you_o expect_v

this_o cry_n what_o benefit_n have_v we_o reap_v by_o that_o change_n do_v not_o we_o see_v that_o unless_o they_o will_v act_v by_o the_o maxim_n of_o their_o predecessor_n they_o must_v do_v
