great_a business_n then_o in_o hand_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n chief_o to_o be_v consider_v 1._o whether_o the_o minister_n of_o state_n their_o fault_n or_o crime_n can_v be_v impute_v to_o the_o king_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v lose_v his_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n which_o be_v his_o inheritance_n by_o a_o lineal_a succession_n in_o this_o nation_n for_o many_o age_n and_o his_o own_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o fault_n etc._n etc._n of_o the_o minister_n of_o state_n can_v not_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o king_n so_o as_o to_o dethrone_v he_o etc._n etc._n 2._o he_o judge_v it_o more_o proper_a for_o redress_v of_o their_o grievance_n to_o send_v commissioner_n to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v come_v home_o to_o keep_v a_o free_a parliament_n and_o then_o not_o only_o give_v security_n for_o their_o religion_n but_o also_o give_v the_o stand_a law_n their_o full_a free_a and_o vigorous_a execution_n rather_o than_o to_o defend_v themselves_o with_o foreign_a power_n thereby_o to_o dethrone_v their_o native_a king_n and_o his_o lawful_a successor_n and_o to_o advance_v another_o to_o the_o throne_n whilst_o there_o be_v any_o of_o they_o live_v 3._o it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o this_o meeting_n have_v a_o authoritative_a and_o coercive_a power_n to_o declare_v the_o throne_n vacant_a and_o to_o dispose_v thereof_o sir_n john_n dalrymple_n answer_v to_o the_o first_o that_o he_o wonder_v how_o any_o member_n of_o that_o house_n can_v pretend_v to_o be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o reason_n mention_v in_o the_o act_n for_o declare_v the_o throne_n vacant_a or_o so_o obstinate_a as_o to_o deny_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o and_o be_v true_a matter_n of_o fact_n it_o be_v visible_a that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o private_a act_n of_o minister_n of_o state_n that_o king_n james_n be_v to_o be_v dethrone_v but_o his_o own_o action_n do_v during_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o reign_n by_o unh_v the_o law_n by_o a_o despotic_a power_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n give_v commission_n contrary_a to_o law_n dispense_n with_o the_o law_n in_o favour_n of_o papist_n erect_v popish_a chapel_n school_n and_o college_n contrary_a to_o law_n and_o whether_o these_o and_o many_o other_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o insinuation_n of_o evil_a minister_n which_o he_o put_v in_o office_n and_o defend_v those_o minister_n so_o put_v in_o office_n against_o the_o stand_a law_n other_o know_v best_o but_o be_v they_o be_v his_o own_o act_n and_o deed_n must_v land_n at_o king_n james_n door_n as_o to_o the_o second_o the_o remedy_n propose_v by_o that_o worthy_a prelate_n in_o recall_v king_n james_n will_v prove_v worse_o than_o the_o disease_n for_o beside_o the_o reason_n contain_v in_o the_o act_n which_o be_v sufficient_a of_o themselves_o let_v we_o but_o consider_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o late_a fear_n and_o confusion_n he_o deserted_n we_o go_v to_o france_n private_o to_o our_o enemy_n and_o the_o enemy_n of_o mankind_n where_o he_o actual_o raise_v force_n procure_v they_o arm_n and_o money_n to_o go_v for_o ireland_n with_o a_o crew_n of_o french_a to_o assist_v the_o wild_a irish_a papist_n and_o as_o the_o protestant_n there_o meet_v with_o hard_a measure_n if_o he_o and_o that_o party_n prevail_v there_o what_o may_v we_o expect_v but_o popery_n and_o slavery_n and_o be_v there_o any_o true_a protestant_n pretend_v what_o he_o please_v can_v dream_v of_o security_n either_o to_o our_o religion_n law_n liberty_n or_o property_n if_o he_o and_o his_o army_n of_o cruel_a french_a and_o wild_a irish_a come_v hither_o so_o that_o we_o must_v secure_v ourselves_o and_o all_o that_o be_v dear_a to_o we_o by_o keep_v he_o and_o his_o party_n out_o and_o settle_v on_o the_o throne_n person_n who_o with_o god_n assistance_n can_n and_o will_v secure_v all_o of_o they_o to_o we_o nor_o be_v it_o doubt_v but_o the_o honourable_a estate_n will_v fill_v the_o vacancy_n with_o those_o of_o the_o royal_a line_n and_o as_o to_o that_o point_n the_o bishop_n cry_v out_o of_o against_o viz._n the_o estate_n advance_v another_o to_o the_o throne_n whilst_o king_n james_n and_o other_o who_o he_o call_v his_o lawful_a successor_n be_v alive_a answer_v that_o there_o be_v none_o here_o but_o know_v that_o there_o have_v be_v many_o precedent_n of_o this_o nature_n in_o scotland_n where_o the_o estate_n thereof_o have_v dethrone_v their_o king_n and_o queen_n for_o fault_n and_o crime_n and_o advance_v other_o to_o the_o throne_n whilst_o they_o be_v alive_a but_o still_o of_o the_o same_o line_n and_o it_o be_v not_o doubt_v but_o our_o king_n lawful_a successor_n will_v succeed_v in_o the_o throne_n and_o as_o to_o that_o point_n of_o put_v k._n james_n stand_v law_n in_o execution_n after_o his_o return_n answer_v that_o it_o be_v hope_v the_o honourable_a meeting_n before_o they_o separate_v will_v be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o repeal_v several_a of_o these_o which_o the_o bishop_n call_v stand_v law_n which_o be_v act_n make_v against_o the_o first_o constitution_n and_o fundamental_a law_n freedom_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o be_v both_o intolerable_a and_o grievous_a thereto_o to_o the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o many_o protestant_a person_n and_o family_n it_o be_v answer_v to_o the_o three_o that_o it_o be_v out_o of_o season_n for_o the_o bishop_n or_o any_o other_o member_n of_o this_o house_n now_o to_o talk_v of_o want_n of_o power_n after_o they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o bishop_n himself_o have_v unanimous_o declare_v themselves_o a_o free_a estate_n and_o he_o hope_v the_o honourable_a house_n will_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o allegation_n as_o also_o that_o it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v that_o our_o first_o constitution_n of_o monarchy_n here_o be_v elective_a by_o the_o people_n choice_n but_o be_v to_o continue_v of_o inheritance_n to_o the_o royal_a line_n from_o father_n to_o son_n etc._n etc._n upon_o condition_n and_o therefore_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n so_o that_o our_o king_n be_v to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v the_o subject_n by_o law_n for_o which_o the_o subject_n be_v to_o pay_v homage_n and_o supply_n to_o they_o to_o support_v they_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o government_n and_o if_o this_o do_v not_o hold_v a_o government_n will_v soon_o destroy_v itself_o yea_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o will_v clear_o appear_v to_o any_o who_o be_v in_o the_o least_o versant_a in_o our_o constitution_n right_n law_n or_o
