two_o worthy_a speech_n speak_v in_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_z by_o sir_n benjamin_n rudyard_n at_o several_a time_n london_n print_v for_o antony_n vincent_n and_o be_v to_o be_v sell_v in_o the_o old_a bailie_n 1643._o two_o speech_n speak_v by_o sir_n benjamin_n rudyard_n in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n mr._n speaker_n i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o the_o vote_n we_o have_v already_o pass_v for_o the_o disband_n the_o army_n the_o first_o and_o ten_o of_o march_n will_v find_v we_o no_o further_o on_o our_o way_n then_o where_o we_o now_o be_v beside_o the_o ill_a accident_n that_o may_v happen_v and_o so_o much_o precious_a time_n spend_v as_o till_o then_o sir_n the_o main_a business_n be_v whether_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o present_a treaty_n or_o no_o and_o this_o concern_v we_o in_o all_o that_o we_o have_v and_o be_v since_o we_o refuse_v a_o treaty_n at_o nottingham_n i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o we_o have_v get_v much_o ground_n although_o our_o army_n then_o be_v fresh_a full_a and_o full_o pay_v the_o people_n erect_v bountiful_a and_o forward_o to_o the_o war_n now_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o the_o great_a part_n stand_v bend_v towards_o a_o peace_n so_o that_o wheresoever_o the_o refusal_n or_o delay_n of_o the_o way_n to_o it_o shall_v be_v fix_v the_o disadvantage_n will_v fall_v on_o that_o side_n how_o clear_a soever_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o house_n be_v yet_o abroad_o it_o will_v be_v take_v but_o as_o a_o show_n without_o reality_n and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v return_v upon_o we_o for_o the_o proposition_n i_o have_v not_o know_v nor_o hear_v that_o all_o the_o proposition_n in_o any_o treaty_n of_o importance_n be_v ever_o swallow_v whole_a if_o some_o be_v harsh_a and_o rough_a they_o may_v be_v wrought_v and_o supple_v by_o wise_a treaters_n make_v fit_a for_o a_o acceptable_a agreement_n if_o other_o be_v unpassable_a they_o may_v be_v total_o reject_v those_o that_o be_v our_o

thoughtful_o expect_v that_o the_o cup_n of_o tremble_v which_o have_v go_v round_o about_o we_o to_o other_o nation_n will_v at_o length_n come_v in_o among_o we_o it_o be_v now_o come_v at_o last_o and_o we_o may_v drink_v the_o dregs_o of_o it_o the_o worst_a which_o god_n divert_v there_o be_v yet_o some_o comfort_n leave_v that_o our_o misery_n be_v not_o likely_a to_o last_v long_o for_o we_o can_v fight_v here_o as_o they_o do_v in_o germany_n in_o that_o great_a large_a vast_a continent_n where_o although_o there_o be_v war_n in_o some_o part_n of_o it_o yet_o there_o be_v many_o

be_v spill_v hereafter_o if_o we_o do_v not_o endeavour_v a_o peace_n by_o a_o speedy_a treaty_n certain_o god_n be_v as_o much_o to_o be_v trust_v in_o a_o treaty_n as_o in_o a_o war_n it_o be_v he_o
