a_o speech_n late_o make_v by_o a_o noble_a peer_n of_o the_o realm_n my_o lord_n in_o this_o great_a debate_n concern_v the_o king_n speech_n the_o sad_a state_n and_o condition_n we_o be_v in_o and_o the_o remedy_n thereof_o i_o have_v offer_v you_o my_o opinion_n and_o many_o lord_n have_v speak_v admirable_a well_o to_o it_o with_o great_a freedom_n and_o plainness_n as_o the_o case_n require_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o offer_v you_o some_o few_o word_n in_o answer_n to_o two_o or_o three_o of_o my_o lord_n of_o the_o earl_n bench_n that_o have_v maintain_v the_o contrary_a opinion_n my_o lord_n near_o i_o have_v tell_v your_o lordship_n that_o the_o precedent_n of_o hen._n the_o 4._o that_o i_o offer_v to_o you_o who_o be_v a_o wise_a and_o magnanimous_a prince_n and_o yet_o upon_o the_o address_n of_o his_o parliament_n put_v away_o a_o great_a part_n of_o his_o family_n and_o council_n at_o one_o time_n be_v no_o proper_a instance_n because_o he_o be_v a_o usurper_n have_v a_o ill_a title_n and_o be_v bind_v to_o please_v the_o people_n my_o lord_n i_o meddle_v not_o with_o his_o title_n i_o be_o sure_a our_o king_n have_v a_o very_a undoubted_a one_o but_o this_o my_o lord_n must_v allow_v that_o that_o wise_a prince_n have_v need_n of_o the_o people_n know_v no_o better_a way_n to_o please_v they_o and_o to_o create_v a_o good_a intelligence_n between_o they_o and_o he_o than_o to_o put_v a_o way_n those_o from_o court_n and_o council_n that_o be_v unacceptable_a to_o they_o if_o our_o king_n have_v the_o same_o necessity_n to_o please_v the_o people_n though_o for_o other_o reason_n than_o want_v of_o a_o title_n yet_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o precedent_n hold_v that_o a_o wise_a prince_n when_o he_o have_v need_n of_o his_o people_n will_v rather_o part_v with_o his_o family_n and_o counsellor_n than_o displease_v they_o my_o lord_n this_o noble_a lord_n near_o i_o have_v find_v fault_n with_o that_o precedent_n that_o he_o suppose_v i_o offer_v your_o lordship_n concern_v the_o chergeable_a lady_n at_o court_n but_o i_o remember_v no_o such_o thing_n i_o say_v but_o if_o i_o must_v speak_v of_o they_o i_o shall_v say_v as_o the_o prophet_n do_v to_o king_n saul_n what_o mean_v the_o bleat_a of_o this_o kind_n of_o cattle_n and_o i_o hope_v the_o king_n will_v make_v i_o the_o same_o answer_n that_o he_o reserve_v they_o for_o sacrifice_n and_o mean_n to_o deliver_v they_o up_o to_o please_v his_o people_n for_o there_o must_v be_v in_o plain_a english_a my_o lord_n a_o change_n we_o must_v neither_o have_v popish_a wife_n nor_o popish_a favourite_n nor_o popish_a mistress_n nor_o popish_a counsellor_n at_o court_n or_o any_o new_a convert_n what_o i_o speak_v be_v about_o another_o lady_n that_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o court_n but_o like_o simpronia_n in_o catiline_n conspiracy_n do_v more_o mischief_n than_o cethegus_n in_o this_o time_n of_o distress_n i_o can_v humble_o advise_v our_o prince_n will_v take_v the_o same_o course_n that_o the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n do_v to_o suffer_v neither_o stranger_n nor_o ambassador_n to_o stay_v above_o some_o few_o week_n in_o his_o country_n for_o all_o the_o stranger_n and_o ambassador_n here_o have_v serve_v the_o plot_n and_o design_n against_o we_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o have_v no_o tie_n to_o be_v for_o we_o but_o my_o lord_n what_o i_o rise_v up_o to_o speak_v be_v more_o especial_o to_o my_o lord_n of_o the_o earl_n bench_n that_o speak_v last_o and_o sit_v behind_o i_o who_o as_o he_o have_v the_o great_a influence_n in_o our_o present_a council_n so_o he_o have_v let_v fall_n to_o you_o the_o very_a root_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o the_o hinge_n upon_o which_o all_o turn_n he_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o have_v late_o make_v offer_v to_o the_o king_n and_o he_o wonder_v we_o do_v not_o expect_v the_o king_n answer_v to_o they_o before_o we_o enter_v into_o so_o hot_a and_o high_a debate_n he_o tell_v you_o if_o the_o king_n be_v assure_v of_o supply_n we_o can_v doubt_v of_o his_o compliance_n in_o this_o and_o all_o we_o can_v ask_v for_o otherwise_o the_o king_n shall_v fall_v into_o that_o that_o be_v the_o worst_a condition_n of_o a_o prince_n to_o have_v his_o people_n have_v no_o confidence_n in_o he_o my_o lord_n this_o be_v that_o i_o know_v they_o put_v the_o king_n upon_o and_o this_o be_v that_o we_o must_v be_v ruin_v by_o if_o we_o may_v not_o with_o freedom_n and_o plainness_n open_v our_o case_n my_o lord_n it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o say_v that_o we_o can_v trust_v the_o king_n and_o that_o we_o have_v already_o be_v deceive_v so_o often_o that_o we_o see_v plain_o the_o apprehension_n of_o discontent_n in_o the_o people_n be_v no_o argument_n at_o court._n and_o though_o our_o prince_n be_v in_o himself_o a_o excellent_a person_n that_o the_o people_n have_v the_o great_a inclination_n imaginable_a to_o love_n yet_o we_o must_v say_v he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o no_o story_n afford_v we_o a_o parallel_n of_o how_o plain_a and_o how_o many_o be_v the_o proof_n of_o the_o design_n to_o murder_v he_o how_o little_a be_v he_o

by_o what_o fate_n or_o what_o council_n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v guess_v neither_o do_v i_o understand_v the_o r●ddle_n of_o it_o the_o duke_n be_v quit_v and_o send_v away_o the_o house_n of_o

and_o have_v reject_v it_o yet_o you_o have_v think_v fit_a and_o the_o king_n himself_o have_v make_v the_o proposition_n to_o make_v such_o expedient_n as_o shall_v render_v he_o but_o a_o nominal_a
