A83975	A letter to a friend concerning the bill for resuming the forfeited estates in Ireland.	R. E.	1700 (1700)	Wing E29; ESTC R171891	5,877	4

a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n concern_v the_o bill_n for_o resume_v the_o forfeit_v estate_n in_o ireland_n sir_n though_o i_o be_v always_o of_o your_o opinion_n and_o think_v our_o constitution_n happy_o temper_a both_o to_o preserve_v itself_o and_o promote_v the_o happiness_n of_o the_o community_n yet_o do_v i_o never_o look_v so_o near_o into_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o aristocratical_a part_n of_o our_o polity_n and_o the_o power_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v in_o the_o legislature_n as_o late_o since_o the_o debate_n have_v happen_v about_o resume_v the_o kin'g_n grant_n to_o any_o consider_a person_n it_o must_v seem_v a_o mighty_a security_n to_o we_o that_o a_o bill_n after_o it_o have_v have_v the_o assent_n of_o the_o delegate_n of_o the_o people_n necessary_o require_v the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o lord_n before_o it_o can_v have_v have_v the_o sanction_n of_o a_o law_n they_o have_v a_o oppottunity_n upon_o a_o more_o mature_a deliberation_n of_o weigh_v the_o argument_n on_o both_o side_n of_o consider_v what_o affection_v promote_v it_o and_o discover_v whether_o it_o be_v profitable_a and_o just_a and_o aught_o to_o pass_v into_o a_o law_n or_o no._n in_o such_o deliberation_n their_o lordship_n be_v always_o sway_v by_o principle_n of_o honour_n and_o not_o owe_v the_o part_n they_o have_v in_o make_v law_n to_o popular_a election_n be_v not_o under_o the_o hard_a necessity_n of_o gratify_v any_o greedy_a or_o unreasonable_a desire_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o people_n to_o humour_v any_o party_n or_o faction_n they_o be_v not_o constrain_v to_o violate_v public_a justice_n to_o abandon_v the_o king_n or_o their_o own_o right_n and_o to_o break_v that_o balance_n which_o they_o have_v always_o keep_v in_o our_o state_n perhaps_o when_o they_o serious_o consider_v the_o matter_n they_o may_v find_v that_o they_o have_v not_o often_o have_v more_o reason_n for_o exert_v their_o power_n than_o in_o the_o bill_n they_o be_v now_o possess_v of_o since_o you_o desire_v it_o i_o will_v give_v you_o my_o thought_n what_o it_o be_v they_o just_o may_v what_o probable_o they_o will_v do_v i_o must_v in_o short_a assure_v you_o that_o when_o i_o consider_v how_o tender_a they_o be_v of_o their_o reputation_n how_o glorious_a they_o reckon_v it_o to_o act_v consonant_o to_o themselves_o and_o to_o stick_v to_o the_o principle_n of_o justice_n and_o honour_n which_o determine_v they_o before_o my_o opinion_n be_v they_o can_v get_v over_o the_o difficulty_n of_o this_o bill_n the_o reason_n you_o shall_v be_v judge_n of_o you_o may_v remember_v that_o on_o the_o last_o day_n of_o december_n 1690_o a_o engross_v bill_n for_o confiscate_v the_o land_n of_o the_o rebel_n in_o ireland_n and_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o war_n be_v send_v from_o the_o commons_o to_o the_o lord_n house_n january_n the_o 5_o his_o majesty_n at_o the_o adjournment_n of_o the_o parliament_n tell_v both_o house_n that_o he_o will_v not_o make_v any_o grant_n of_o the_o forfeit_v land_n till_o there_o be_v another_o opportunity_n of_o settle_v that_o matter_n in_o parliament_n after_o the_o adjournment_n the_o lord_n meet_v again_o on_o the_o 31st_o day_n of_o march_n at_o which_o time_n the_o engross_v bill_n lay_v before_o they_o they_o have_v then_o a_o opportunity_n if_o i_o understand_v what_o that_o word_n signify_v of_o pass_v the_o bill_n and_o settle_v that_o matter_n have_v they_o do_v it_o and_o his_o majesty_n have_v refuse_v his_o royal_a assent_n there_o have_v be_v some_o show_n of_o reason_n for_o peoples_n make_v a_o noise_n about_o his_o promise_n as_o thing_n stand_v now_o there_o be_v none_o their_o lordship_n let_v that_o bill_n fall_v as_o they_o do_v another_o the_o year_n follow_v and_o the_o commons_o do_v several_a other_o their_o reason_n be_v manifest_a they_o will_v not_o dispose_v of_o those_o forfeiture_n because_o it_o be_v his_o sole_a and_o undoubted_a right_n by_o his_o prerogative_n which_o be_v the_o common_a law_n of_o the_o land_n to_o grant_v they_o away_o as_o he_o please_v beside_o the_o matter_n of_o justice_n they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o will_v be_v more_o our_o interest_n to_o let_v the_o world_n see_v that_o we_o honour_v the_o king_n and_o will_v give_v he_o his_o due_a than_o to_o employ_v those_o land_n to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o war._n i_o dare_v not_o in_o this_o matter_n arraign_v their_o judgement_n or_o say_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o justice_n or_o the_o public_a good_n i_o know_v money_n be_v very_o valuable_a especial_o when_o we_o want_v it_o as_o we_o do_v at_o that_o time_n but_o perhaps_o as_o their_o lordship_n thought_n we_o purchase_v it_o too_o dear_a when_o to_o obtain_v it_o we_o break_v through_o the_o settle_a and_o ancient_a rule_n of_o our_o constitution_n invade_v the_o king_n be_v right_a and_o place_v a_o particular_a mark_n of_o unkindness_n on_o he_o it_o be_v plain_a to_o any_o think_v person_n without_o make_v any_o inquiry_n that_o they_o let_v that_o bill_n fall_v because_o they_o think_v it_o unjust_a otherwise_o it_o can_v well_o be_v deny_v that_o they_o be_v unkind_a to_o their_o poor_a country_n engage_v at_o that_o time_n in_o a_o long_a and_o expensive_a war_n in_o deprive_v it_o of_o the_o great_a sum_n that_o be_v propose_v to_o be_v raise_v out_o of_o those_o forfeiture_n if_o to_o stave_v off_o this_o imputation_n any_o one_o will_v say_v that_o for_o the_o good_a of_o their_o country_n they_o let_v they_o lie_v till_o they_o shall_v be_v grant_v away_o improve_v and_o make_v much_o more_o valuable_a this_o will_v be_v the_o high_a affront_n for_o it_o be_v what_o never_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n of_o their_o lordship_n nice_a honour_n if_o then_o they_o let_v that_o bill_n fall_v because_o they_o think_v it_o unjust_a they_o can_v well_o pass_v this_o which_o have_v infinite_o great_a hardship_n in_o it_o what_o then_o will_v be_v strain_v at_o a_o gnat_n if_o the_o bill_n be_v compare_v in_o all_o their_o circumstance_n will_v be_v swallow_v a_o camel_n now_o they_o give_v up_o a_o bill_n which_o leave_v a_o three_o part_n to_o the_o disposal_n of_o the_o king_n because_o they_o think_v the_o whole_a be_v his_o due_a this_o deprive_v he_o of_o the_o whole_a we_o have_v then_o a_o war_n with_o a_o great_a and_o powerful_a enemy_n which_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v will_v be_v long_o and_o chargeable_a now_o by_o his_o mastesty_n conduct_n we_o enjoy_v plenty_n and_o peace_n then_o the_o matter_n have_v be_v amicable_o accommodate_v between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o parliament_n without_o any_o symptom_n of_o affront_n and_o

boggle_v at_o reach_v only_o to_o the_o king_n the_o present_a bill_n do_v not_o only_o affect_v he_o much_o more_o sensible_o but_o it_o wound_v our_o constitution_n and_o hurt_v man_n of_o all_o order_n and_o degree_n his_o ma_n esty_n part_n in_o it_o be_v very_o extraordinary_a he_o see_v notwithstan_v what_o a_o late_a author_n have_v irsinuate_v to_o the_o contrary_a what_o not_o english_a monarch_n ever_o do_v all_o his_o grant_n refumed_a without_o any_o save_v for_o his_o prerogative_n if_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o interpose_v but_o he_o be_v force_v to_o pass_v the_o

for_o the_o common_a good_a yet_o we_o can_v avoid_v entertain_v another_o opinion_n of_o it_o if_o it_o seem_v to_o affect_v our_o polity_n we_o general_o glory_v in_o our_o constitution_n and_o
