a_o answer_n to_o a_o lybel_n call_v a_o speech_n late_o make_v by_o a_o noble_a peer_n of_o this_o realm_n by_o a_o better_a protestant_n than_o the_o author_n of_o it_o i_o have_v hear_v much_o of_o the_o sad_a state_n and_o condition_n we_o be_v in_o and_o i_o be_o convince_v of_o it_o since_o i_o see_v such_o reflection_n make_v with_o impunity_n upon_o the_o king_n person_n and_o government_n i_o shall_v say_v little_a to_o the_o precedent_n of_o our_o harry_n the_o four_o unbridle_a violence_n and_o mean_a condescension_n be_v the_o unhappy_a necessity_n of_o a_o usurper_n but_o a_o good_a and_o a_o lawful_a king_n be_v oblige_v to_o maintain_v his_o own_o prerogative_n as_o well_o as_o the_o right_n of_o his_o subject_n but_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o suppose_a author_n of_o the_o print_a speech_n shall_v already_o forget_v how_o late_o the_o king_n after_o a_o great_a re-trenchment_a of_o his_o family_n do_v at_o once_o and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v by_o his_o lordship_n advice_n change_v almost_o his_o whole_a council_n and_o yet_o the_o people_n or_o those_o that_o still_o make_v use_n of_o their_o name_n never_o be_v nor_o will_v yet_o be_v satisfy_v i_o will_v not_o put_v his_o lordship_n in_o mind_n of_o the_o court-ladye_n since_o he_o do_v not_o remember_v he_o speak_v of_o they_o but_o unless_o he_o make_v himself_o a_o samuel_n i_o do_v not_o know_v what_o authority_n he_o have_v to_o examine_v saul_n about_o the_o bleat_a of_o the_o cattle_n i_o can_v believe_v his_o lordship_n can_v have_v the_o heart_n to_o sacrifice_v the_o fair_a of_o they_o his_o lordship_n may_v read_v in_o the_o same_o place_n that_o obedience_n be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n but_o if_o a_o sacrifice_n must_v be_v make_v it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o people_n but_o to_o god_n and_o justice_n i_o will_v fain_o understand_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o people_n for_o now_o every_o man_n call_v himself_o the_o people_n and_o when_o one_o man_n call_v for_o one_o thing_n and_o another_o for_o something_o direct_o opposite_a both_o cry_n out_o that_o if_o this_o or_o that_o be_v not_o do_v the_o people_n be_v betray_v that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o will_v endeavour_v to_o persuade_v they_o so_o but_o the_o people_n in_o this_o speech_n have_v a_o strange_a dialect_n such_o as_o i_o hope_v no_o english_a man_n understand_v must_v be_v never_o the_o language_n of_o a_o good_a subject_n nor_o submission_n the_o part_n of_o a_o king_n we_o must_v etc._n etc._n and_o no_o new_a convert_v i_o be_o sorry_a that_o with_o all_o our_o zeal_n we_o be_v so_o unkind_a to_o prosylites_n we_o have_v a_o great_a value_n for_o they_o not_o long_o since_o for_o though_o l._n b._n be_v accuse_v of_o the_o plot_n his_o conversion_n secure_v he_o without_o a_o pardon_n though_o either_o his_o lordship_n be_v deep_o guilty_a or_o the_o king_n evidence_n gross_o perjure_v till_o the_o author_n discover_v who_o he_o mean_v by_o sempronia_n i_o shall_v not_o tell_v he_o who_o i_o believe_v to_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o catiline_n but_o it_o be_v prodigious_a that_o while_o we_o be_v fright_v with_o bugbears_a of_o invisible_a dispensation_n from_o the_o pope_n his_o lordship_n with_o his_o arbitrary_a must_v shall_v dispense_v at_o once_o with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o to_o the_o queen_n with_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n as_o to_o foreign_a minister_n with_o the_o law_n of_o hospitality_n as_o to_o stranger_n and_o all_o that_o part_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n that_o concern_v the_o heir_n of_o the_o crown_n which_o be_v equal_o bind_v with_o the_o rest_n to_o all_o who_o suspect_a honesty_n can_v accept_v of_o such_o a_o arbitrary_a dispensation_n his_o lordship_n seem_v much_o concern_v to_o hear_v of_o a_o bargain_n between_o the_o king_n and_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o so_o be_o i_o for_o thing_n be_v too_o ripe_a for_o mischief_n when_o subject_n be_v permit_v to_o capitulate_v with_o their_o sovereign_n the_o king_n subject_n by_o his_o permission_n have_v make_v capitulation_n with_o foreign_a prince_n but_o his_o lordship_n will_v not_o have_v the_o king_n so_o far_o trust_v as_o that_o his_o own_o subject_n may_v capitulate_v with_o he_o because_o as_o his_o lordship_n say_v he_o have_v so_o often_o deceive_v that_o hard_a word_n the_o people_n and_o i_o beg_v leave_n to_o use_v the_o same_o expression_n of_o his_o majesty_n patience_n which_o his_o lordship_n use_v of_o his_o little_a care_n of_o his_o person_n that_o no_o story_n afford_v a_o parallel_n of_o he_o the_o act_n of_o the_o duke_n be_v indeed_o admirable_a to_o all_o but_o incomprehensible_a to_o such_o as_o have_v not_o the_o true_a principle_n of_o loyalty_n root_v in_o they_o but_o his_o lordship_n who_o in_o cromwel_n time_n be_v much_o better_o acquaint_v with_o what_o past_a at_o london_n then_o at_o brussels_n aver_v that_o the_o duke_n have_v a_o early_a aim_n at_o the_o crown_n before_o the_o king_n restauration_n this_o be_v a_o high_a charge_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v better_o prove_v than_o by_o a_o bare_a assertion_n have_v his_o lordship_n any_o letter_n to_o produce_v from_o his_o royal_a highness_n to_o himself_o or_o any_o other_o chief_a minister_n of_o the_o usurper_n or_o to_o what_o crown_n can_v the_o duke_n pretend_v when_o they_o have_v rob_v the_o king_n of_o his_o own_o the_o duke_n can_v show_v undeniable_a proof_n of_o his_o allegiance_n even_o in_o those_o day_n for_o what_o can_v a_o exile_a prince_n do_v more_o than_o leave_v the_o great_a command_n and_o pension_n that_o he_o have_v abroad_o and_o all_o the_o advantage_n that_o his_o birth_n his_o courage_n and_o his_o reputation_n promise_v he_o to_o follow_v the_o fortune_n and_o the_o want_v of_o his_o majesty_n but_o how_o will_v his_o lordship_n make_v out_o that_o after_o the_o match_n with_o a_o portugal_n lady_n for_o that_o be_v the_o only_a title_n his_o lordship_n allow_v the_o

world_n and_o where_o be_v the_o proclamation_n he_o say_v the_o duke_n take_v his_o seat_n in_o parliament_n as_o prince_n of_o wales_n but_o his_o lordship_n know_v that_o the_o seat_n on_o the_o

sit_v upon_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n show_n that_o this_o be_v no_o innovation_n and_o his_o royal_a highness_n have_v the_o same_o seat_n when_o the_o king_n his_o father_n call_v the_o parliament_n at_o oxford_n he_o urge_v that_o the_o duke_n have_v his_o guard_n about_o he_o upon_o the_o same_o floor_n with_o the_o king_n and_o so_o the_o king_n be_v every_o night_n
