that_o we_o have_v yet_o do_v nothing_o if_o we_o do_v no_o more_o i_o shall_v add_v what_o i_o humble_o conceive_v may_v be_v add_v as_o soon_o as_o i_o have_v say_v something_o with_o reference_n to_o he_o that_o say_v it_o i_o will_v desire_v forgiveness_n of_o the_o house_n if_o in_o aught_o i_o say_v i_o seem_v to_o entrench_v upon_o another_o profession_n and_o enter_v upon_o the_o work_n

be_o confident_a that_o history_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v this_o judgement_n contrary_a to_o our_o law_n and_o logic_n alone_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v it_o destructive_a to_o our_o

that_o no_o meat_n undigested_a can_v lie_v heavyer_n upon_o the_o stomach_n then_o this_o unsay_v will_v have_v lie_v upon_o my_o conscience_n mr._n speaker_n the_o constitution_n of_o this_o

this_o judgement_n first_o they_o contradict_v both_o many_o and_o clear_a act_n and_o declaration_n of_o parliament_n and_o those_o in_o this_o very_a case_n and_o in_o this_o very_a reign_n so_o that_o for_o they_o they_o need_v to_o have_v consult_v with_o no_o other_o record_n than_o their_o memory_n 2_o second_o they_o contradict_v with_o apparent_a evidence_n by_o suppose_v mighty_a and_o eminent_a danger_n in_o most_o serene_a quiet_a and_o halcyon_n day_n that_o c●uld_v possible_o be_v imagine_v a_o few_o contemptible_a pirate_n be_v our_o most_o formidable_a enemy_n and_o there_o be_v neither_o prince_n nor_o state_n with_o and_o from_o who_o we_o have_v not_o either_o ambassador_n or_o amity_n or_o both_o 3_o three_o they_o contradict_v the_o writ_n itself_o by_o suppose_v that_o suppose_a danger_n to_o be_v so_o sudden_a that_o it_o can_v not_o stay_v for_o a_o parliament_n which_o require_v but_o forty_o day_n stay_n the_o writ_n be_v in_o no_o such_o haste_n but_o be_v content_a to_o stay_v seven_o month_n which_o be_v that_o time_n four_o time_n over_o mr._n speaker_n it_o seem_v general_o strange_a that_o they_o who_o see_v not_o that_o law_n which_o all_o man_n else_o see_v shall_v see_v that_o danger_n which_o no_o man_n see_v but_o themselves_o get_v though_o this_o beget_v the_o more_o general_a wonder_n three_o other_o particular_n beget_v the_o more_o general_a indignation_n 1_o the_o first_o that_o all_o the_o reason_n for_o this_o judgement_n be_v such_o that_o they_o need_v not_o those_o of_o the_o adverse_a party_n to_o help_v they_o to_o convert_v these_o few_o who_o have_v before_o the_o least_o suspicion_n of_o the_o legality_n of_o that_o most_o illegal_a writ_n there_o be_v few_o who_o approve_v of_o the_o judgement_n than_o there_o be_v that_o judge_v it_o for_o i_o be_o confident_a they_o do_v not_o that_o themselves_o 2_o the_o second_o that_o when_o they_o have_v allow_v to_o the_o king_n the_o sole_a power_n in_o necessity_n and_o the_o sole_a judgement_n of_o necessity_n and_o so_o enable_v he_o to_o take_v from_o we_o what_o he_o will_v when_o he_o will_v and_o how_o he_o will_v they_o yet_o contemn_v we_o enough_o to_o offer_v to_o persuade_v we_o that_o they_o have_v leave_v we_o our_o property_n 3_o the_o three_o and_o last_o and_o which_o i_o must_v confess_v move_v i_o most_o that_o by_o the_o transformation_n of_o this_o kingdom_n from_o the_o estate_n of_o free_a subject_n a_o good_a phrase_n mr._n speaker_n under_o doctor_n heylins_n favour_n into_o that_o of_o villain_n they_o disable_v we_o by_o legal_a and_o voluntary_a supply_n to_o express_v our_o affection_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o by_o that_o to_o cherish_v his_o to_o we_o that_o be_v to_o parliament_n mr._n speaker_n the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o misery_n we_o have_v suffer_v and_o of_o all_o the_o jealousy_n we_o have_v have_v that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v more_o be_v that_o a_o most_o excellent_a prince_n have_v be_v most_o infinite_o abuse_v by_o his_o judge_n tell_v he_o that_o in_o law_n his_o divine_n tell_v he_o that_o in_o conscience_n his_o counsellor_n tell_v he_o that_o in_o policy_n he_o may_v do_v what_o he_o please_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o we_o be_v now_o to_o deal_v which_o may_v be_v a_o good_a lead_a cause_n to_o the_o rest_n and_o some_o in_o pen_v those_o law_n upon_o which_o these_o man_n have_v trample_v our_o ancestor_n have_v show_v the_o utmost_a of_o care_n and_o wise_a doom_n for_o our_o unsettle_a security_n word_n have_v do_v nothing_o and_o yet_o do_v all_o that_o word_n can_v do_v we_o must_v now_o be_v force_v to_o think_v of_o abolish_n the_o griever_n of_o take_v away_o this_o judgement_n and_o these_o judge_n together_o &_o of_o regulate_v their_o successor_n by_o their_o most_o exemplary_a punishment_n who_o will_v not_o regulate_v themselves_o by_o most_o evident_a law_n of_o the_o degree_n of_o this_o punishment_n i_o will_v not_o speak_v i_o will_v only_o say_v we_o have_v accuse_v a_o great_a person_n of_o high_a treason_n for_o intend_v to_o subvert_v our_o fundamental_a law_n and_o introduce_v arbitrary_a government_n where_o be_v what_o we_o suppose_v he_o mean_v to_o do_v we_o be_v sure_o these_o have_v do_v there_o be_v no_o law_n more_o

fundamental_a than_o they_o have_v already_o subvert_v and_o no_o government_n more_o absolute_a than_o they_o have_v already_o introduce_v mr._n speaker_n not_o only_o the_o severe_a punishment_n but_o even_o the_o sudden_a removeall_n of_o these_o man_n will_v have_v a_o very_a large_a effect_n in_o one_o very_o considerable_a consideration_n we_o only_o accuse_v and_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n condemn_v in_o which_o consideration_n they_o usual_o receive_v advise_v though_o not_o direction_n from_o the_o judge_n and_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o every_o man_n to_o imagine_v how_o prejudicial_a to_o we_o that_o be_v to_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o how_o partial_a to_o their_o fellow-malefactor_n the_o advice_n of_o such_o judge_n be_v like_a to_o be_v how_o undoubted_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n they_o will_v conduce_v to_o their_o power_n that_o every_o action_n be_v judge_v to_o be_v a_o less_o fault_n and_o every_o person_n to_o be_v less_o faulty_a then_o in_o justice_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v among_o these_o mr._n speaker_n there_o be_v one_o who_o i_o must_v not_o lose_v in_o the_o crowd_n who_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o we_o shall_v find_v when_o we_o examine_v the_o rest_n of_o they_o with_o what_o hope_n they_o have_v be_v tempt_v by_o what_o fear_v they_o have_v be_v assail_v and_o by_o what_o and_o by_o who_o importunity_n they_o have_v be_v pursue_v before_o they_o consent_v to_o do_v what_o they_o do_v i_o doubt_v not_o i_o say_v but_o we_o shall_v find_v he_o to_o have_v be_v a_o most_o admirable_a solicitor_n though_o a_o most_o a_o bominable_a judge_n he_o it_o be_v who_o not_o only_o give_v away_o with_o his_o wealth_n what_o our_o ancestor_n have_v purchase_v for_o we_o at_o so_o large_a a_o expense_n both_o of_o their_o time_n their_o care_n their_o treasure_n and_o their_o blood_n and_o employ_v a_o industry_n as_o great_a as_o his_o injustice_n to_o persuade_v to_o join_v with_o he_o in_o that_o deed_n of_o gift_n but_o other_o strive_v to_o root_v out_o those_o liberty_n which_o we_o have_v cut_v down_o &_o to_o make_v our_o grievance_n mortal_a and_o our_o slavery_n irreparable_a lest_o any_o part_n of_o posterity_n may_v want_v occasion_n to_o curse_v he_o he_o declare_v that_o power_n to_o be_v so_o inherent_a in_o the_o crown_n that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n even_o of_o a_o parliament_n to_o divide_v they_o i_o have_v hear_v mr._n speaker_n and_o i_o think_v here_o that_o common_a fame_n be_v ground_n enough_o for_o this_o house_n to_o accuse_v upon_o and_o then_o undoubted_o enough_o to_o be_v accuse_v upon_o in_o this_o house_n they_o have_v report_v this_o so_o general_o that_o i_o expect_v not_o you_o shall_v bid_v the_o name_n who_o you_o all_o know_v nor_o do_v i_o look_v to_o tell_v you_o news_n when_o i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v my_o lord_n keeper_n but_o this_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n that_o his_o place_n admit_v he_o to_o his_o majsties_n ear_n and_o trust_v he_o with_o his_o majesty_n conscience_n and_o how_o pernicious_a every_o moment_n must_v be_v to_o we_o while_o the_o one_o give_v he_o mean_n to_o infuse_v such_o

no_o man_n here_o secure_a that_o he_o shall_v find_v himself_o worth_a any_o thing_n when_o he_o rise_v whilst_o our_o estate_n be_v in_o his_o breast_n who_o have_v sacrifice_v his_o country_n to_o
