in_o the_o aforementioned_a manner_n their_o report_n whenever_o they_o make_v it_o will_v appear_v to_o their_o shame_n and_o so_o your_o petitioner_n humble_o conceive_v it_o natural_o follow_v they_o will_v never_o obey_v the_o present_a order_n of_o this_o most_o honourable_a house_n which_o have_v already_o be_v fifteen_o day_n unanswered_a so_o as_o to_o make_v a_o report_n of_o these_o matter_n willing_o but_o endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o evade_v and_o delay_v it_o this_o session_n of_o parliament_n also_o under_o diverse_a specious_a pretence_n of_o other_o more_o important_a business_n for_o prevent_v of_o which_o and_o for_o that_o your_o petitioner_n humble_o conceive_v the_o distress_n and_o danger_n that_o the_o public_a lie_n under_o be_v very_o great_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o violent_a pervert_n and_o obstruct_v of_o justice_n and_o for_o that_o the_o adversary_n have_v no_o way_n to_o withstand_v a_o legal_a hear_n of_o these_o notorious_a matter_n but_o by_o the_o aforesaid_a method_n of_o delay_n your_o petitioner_n do_v therefore_o most_o humble_o pray_v your_o lordship_n to_o appoint_v a_o committee_n to_o hear_v and_o examine_v the_o article_n and_o allegation_n in_o his_o late_a petition_n who_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o the_o commissioner_n of_o account_n may_v delay_v their_o report_n shall_v have_v diverse_a ennormous_a crime_n prove_v before_o their_o lordship_n that_o be_v never_o before_o the_o say_a commissioner_n of_o account_n and_o your_o petitioner_n shall_v ever_o pray_v etc._n etc._n robert_n crosfeild_n this_o petition_n enclose_v in_o the_o aforesaid_a letter_n be_v deliver_v by_o the_o usher_n of_o the_o black-rod_n to_o sir_n george_n treby_n and_o i_o expect_v his_o lordship_n will_v have_v move_v the_o house_n therein_o as_o my_o lord_n keeper_n have_v do_v before_o i_o attend_v that_o day_n but_o hear_v nothing_o of_o it_o then_o i_o come_v to_o the_o house_n the_o next_o morning_n and_o understand_v from_o one_o of_o the_o clerk_n of_o the_o parliament_n who_o name_n i_o think_v be_v walker_n that_o sir_n george_n treby_n have_v give_v my_o letter_n and_o petition_n to_o he_o and_o tell_v he_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v to_o move_v the_o house_n in_o it_o and_o that_o every_o body_n know_v mr._n crosfeilds_n business_n and_o offer_v to_o give_v my_o petition_n back_o thus_o all_o these_o foul_a crime_n that_o have_v be_v lay_v open_o these_o two_o session_n of_o parliament_n be_v knock_v down_o dead_a by_o this_o last_o act_n of_o denial_n of_o justice_n in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o indicature_n which_o have_v oblige_v i_o to_o print_v these_o proceed_n and_o because_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o notorious_a as_o hardly_o to_o be_v apparel_v in_o any_o age_n or_o nation_n i_o shall_v therefore_o crave_v leave_n to_o make_v some_o short_a observation_n upon_o the_o whole_a and_o one_a observe_v our_o unaccountable_a loss_n and_o miscarriage_n with_o the_o great_a straits_n into_o which_o the_o public_a be_v bring_v to_o find_v out_o money_n for_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n it_o be_v matter_n of_o amazement_n to_o consider_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o coldness_n or_o rather_o unwillingness_n to_o examine_v into_o that_o mass_n of_o wickedness_n that_o have_v be_v lay_v open_a which_o have_v overspread_v the_o nation_n like_o a_o leprosy_n have_v be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o all_o our_o pass_a and_o present_a misery_n and_o must_v inevitable_o bring_v we_o to_o ruin_n if_o the_o law_n be_v not_o speedy_o put_v in_o execution_n to_o prevent_v it_o i_o say_v it_o be_v matter_n of_o amazement_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v backward_o to_o inquire_v into_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o misery_n two_o our_o practice_n be_v not_o only_o contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o common_a prudence_n and_o reason_n but_o also_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o other_o nation_n it_o be_v public_o know_v that_o the_o french_a and_o venetian_n have_v late_o constitute_v commissioner_n to_o inquire_v into_o public_a fraud_n as_o natural_o conclude_v though_o none_o be_v complain_v of_o that_o there_o will_v be_v cheat_n and_o embezelment_n of_o the_o public_a money_n in_o time_n of_o war_n when_o there_o be_v most_o need_n of_o frugality_n but_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v like_o they_o that_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o inquire_v into_o those_o notorious_a miscarriage_n that_o be_v already_o lay_v open_a though_o some_o of_o they_o have_v be_v actual_o prove_v over_o and_o over_o and_o the_o criminal_n protect_v and_o continue_v in_o their_o employment_n to_o this_o day_n three_o that_o as_o my_o lord_n keeper_n act_v with_o much_o honour_n and_o do_v his_o duty_n for_o the_o publickgood_n in_o report_v my_o letter_n before_o mention_v to_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a sir_n george_n treby_n in_o refuse_v to_o read_v or_o report_v my_o letter_n or_o petition_n to_o the_o house_n have_v only_o deny_v justice_n and_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o this_o necessary_a discovery_n and_o contribute_v to_o protect_v those_o criminal_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o justice_n but_o have_v also_o give_v a_o precedent_n to_o encourage_v evil_a practice_n and_o destroy_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n by_o take_v away_o the_o petition_n right_o for_o if_o officer_n and_o minister_n of_o trust_n act_n corrupt_o and_o oppress_v the_o people_n and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o appeal_v from_o their_o justice_n but_o to_o parliament_n than_o such_o appeal_n or_o complaint_n must_v be_v by_o petition_n but_o if_o the_o know_a liberty_n and_o right_n of_o petition_v be_v destroy_v our_o law_n be_v ineffectual_a and_o all_o great_a man_n become_v lawless_a none_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o answer_v their_o crime_n and_o if_o our_o law_n be_v not_o put_v in_o execution_n they_o be_v in_o effect_n discontinue_v and_o abolish_v and_o if_o law_n be_v the_o foundation_n support_v and_o upholder_n of_o government_n than_o whatever_o government_n want_v will_n or_o strength_n to_o assert_v its_o own_o law_n and_o bring_v offender_n to_o justice_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o a_o very_a weak_a and_o totter_v condition_n and_o near_o a_o period_n and_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v matter_n of_o great_a sorrow_n to_o all_o
