a_o humble_a offer_n at_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o question_n how_o the_o vacant_a throne_n shall_v be_v supply_v without_o wrong_n to_o any_o pretender_n the_o assurance_n of_o some_o worthy_a member_n of_o the_o convention_n be_v such_o that_o they_o speak_v even_o more_o than_o enough_o upon_o most_o subject_n while_o a_o distrust_n of_o their_o own_o ability_n withhold_v other_o from_o speak_v their_o own_o sense_n and_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o who_o send_v they_o and_o it_o be_v now_o if_o ever_o a_o time_n to_o speak_v and_o to_o speak_v out_o so_o as_o all_o europe_n may_v hear_v for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o those_o who_o they_o represent_v and_o of_o their_o own_o conscience_n those_o that_o can_v speak_v must_v write_v three_o sort_n of_o person_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o the_o house_n some_o who_o be_v at_o bottom_n for_o a_o commonwealth_n which_o however_o flourish_v and_o happy_a abroad_o can_v be_v so_o in_o england_n we_o be_v not_o ready_a for_o it_o we_o be_v not_o public-spirited_a enough_o witness_v the_o election_n for_o member_n of_o parliament_n where_o the_o elector_n be_v too_o much_o sway_v by_o drink_n beside_o how_o can_v we_o without_o manifest_a injustice_n alter_v a_o monarchy_n to_o a_o democracy_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o jest_n to_o tell_v the_o people_n they_o be_v free_a for_o in_o a_o commonwealth_n they_o have_v many_o master_n whereas_o in_o a_o monarchy_n they_o have_v but_o one_o second_o other_o in_o the_o house_n be_v think_v secret_o to_o desire_v to_o bring_v back_o the_o self-deposed_n king_n the_o mischief_n of_o which_o need_v not_o i_o conceive_v be_v inculcate_v to_o this_o house_n three_o other_o out_o of_o a_o true_a and_o honest_a design_n to_o

these_o three_o together_o make_v a_o great_a party_n in_o the_o house_n but_o add_v those_o to_o they_o who_o although_o they_o think_v that_o king_n james_n the_o second_o have_v most_o certain_o forfeit_v his_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o real_o in_o the_o disposal_n of_o the_o people_n but_o the_o power_n ought_v to_o be_v deposit_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o regent_n or_o the_o next_o heir_n these_o i_o observe_v add_v to_o the_o other_o make_v up_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o house_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v just_o fear_v that_o the_o debate_n will_v hardly_o be_v end_v in_o one_o afternoon_n but_o now_o if_o a_o way_n can_v be_v find_v to_o do_v the_o work_n without_o alter_a the_o succession_n or_o do_v wrong_n to_o any_o sure_o it_o be_v adviseable_a th●●_n the_o most_o noble_a prince_n of_o orange_n be_v the_o fit_a person_n to_o fill_v the_o vacant_a throne_n all_o the_o unbyast_a part_n of_o the_o world_n must_v yield_v a_o prince_n of_o so_o great_a valour_n so_o great_a experience_n and_o so_o great_a moderation_n a_o prince_n so_o long_o verse_v in_o the_o high_a affair_n of_o state_n and_o conduct_v of_o army_n and_o fleets●_n a_o good-natured_n daughter_n may_v possible_o come_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o a_o dissemble_a father_n but_o a_o experience_a prince_n who_o suck_v in_o his_o aversion_n to_o popery_n with_o his_o nurse_n milk_n and_o have_v always_o be_v as_o averse_a as_o he_o have_v be_v ungrateful_a to_o the_o papist_n be_v liable_a to_o no_o such_o objection_n so_o that_o in_o point_n of_o prudence_n to_o have_v the_o prince_n seat_v single_a in_o the_o vacant_a throne_n and_o so_o prevent_v all_o dispute_n that_o may_v a_o rise_v be_v undoubted_o most_o desirable_a but_o some_o say_v this_o will_v be_v a_o wrong_n to_o the_o princess_n of_o denmark_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o her_o royal_a highness_n the_o princess_n of_o orange_n who_o will_v be_v queen_n in_o right_n of_o her_o husband_n to_o answer_v which_o may_v be_v instance_a the_o english_a proverb_n that_o change_n be_v no_o robbery_n here_o a_o prince_n of_o about_o forty_o year_n old_a be_v substitute_v before_o her_o royal_a highness_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o immortal_a prince_n of_o wales_n and_o as_o many_o duke_n as_o her_o most_o fruitful_a majesty_n the_o popish_a queen_n may_v bring_v forth_o therefore_o none_o can_v doubt_v the_o reasonableness_n as_o well_o as_o expediency_n of_o place_v our_o illustrious_a prince_n upon_o the_o throne_n but_o the_o fear_n of_o injustice_n may_v be_v a_o stumbling-block_n and_o real_o a_o just_a cause_n of_o offence_n to_o many_o to_o obviate_v which_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v well_o weigh_v and_o consider_v that_o by_o all_o law_n which_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o nation_n collect_v as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o extract_n the_o essence_n of_o our_o wisdom_n no_o man_n can_v claim_v by_o the_o will_n of_o another_o so_o long_o as_o the_o testator_n live_v likewise_o non_fw-la est_fw-la hare_n viventis_fw-la there_o be_v not_o there_o can_v be_v a_o wrong_n to_o the_o successor_n so_o long_o as_o the_o popish_a king_n survive_v therefore_o as_o it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a and_o most_o expedient_a so_o it_o be_v no_o way_n dissonant_n to_o the_o high_a justice_n in_o this_o grand_a conjuncture_n to_o place_v the_o noble_a prince_n of_o orange_n upon_o the_o throne_n therefore_o without_o long_a dispute_n though_o i_o desire_v no_o precipitation_n in_o so_o weighty_a a_o affair_n but_o humble_o conceive_v that_o one_o day_n may_v end_v all_o our_o debate_n upon_o account_n of_o past_a grievance_n which_o will_v all_o probable_o be_v remedy_v by_o the_o happy_a change_n of_o temper_n in_o our_o governor_n that_o a_o vote_n may_v be_v pass_v to_o which_o the_o lord_n concurrence_n may_v be_v desire_v that_o in_o respect_n the_o throne_n be_v vacant_a and_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o three_o nation_n require_v it_o to_o be_v fill_v and_o not_o keep_v in_o suspension_n as_o our_o bishopric_n have_v be_v that_o his_o royal_a highness_n may_v be_v forthwith_o proclaim_v and_o crown_v or_o crown_v and_o proclaim_v our_o king_n at_o least_o so_o long_o as_o king_n james_n the_o second_o life_n which_o may_v be_v do_v without_o wrong_n to_o any_o pretender_n but_o that_o it_o may_v not_o give_v suspicion_n of_o indecency_n to_o the_o prince_n himself_o if_o his_o survivorship_n shall_v reduce_v he_o from_o king_n of_o three_o kingdom_n only_o to_o be_v prince_n of_o orange_n again_o i_o humble_o move_v that_o the_o two_o princess_n may_v be_v humble_o desire_v to_o resign_v their_o right_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n and_o that_o war_n be_v prosecute_v until_o our_o noble_a
