fiat_n justitia_fw-la &_o ruat_fw-la coelum_fw-la or_o somewhat_o offer_v in_o desence_n of_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o england_n and_o its_o successor_n in_o answer_n to_o a_o speech_n pretend_v to_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o upon_o read_v the_o bill_n against_o the_o d._n by_o a_o true_a englishman_n it_o be_v not_o long_o ago_o since_o a_o mighty_a orator_n lawyer_n logician_n and_o what_o not_o most_o strenuous_o undertake_v for_o weighty_a consideration_n to_o overthrow_v all_o law_n and_o logic_n and_o by_o tack_v of_o inconsequent_a word_n as_o he_o use_v to_o do_v bill_n together_o to_o show_v the_o world_n how_o zealous_o and_o bold_o he_o can_v speak_v no_o sense_n this_o same_o sir_n formal_a trifle_n who_o in_o his_o exordium_n very_o

that_o he_o be_v a_o go_v to_o say_v somewhat_o for_o the_o king_n as_o he_o express_v it_o and_o so_o to_o prove_v himself_o a_o extraordinary_a loyalist_n make_v a_o speech_n for_o the_o king_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o royal_a will._n he_o know_v very_o well_o the_o king_n have_v often_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v never_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v the_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n in_o the_o right_a line_n yet_o still_o he_o must_v try_v his_o faculty_n in_o rhetoric_n and_o say_v somewhat_o for_o the_o king_n now_o either_o this_o kind_a gentleman_n imagine_v he_o can_v be_v a_o great_a friend_n to_o the_o king_n than_o the_o king_n to_o himself_o or_o else_o his_o wit_n and_o eloquence_n have_v spoil_v his_o memory_n in_o the_o law_n for_o there_o he_o may_v find_v the_o king_n be_v no_o minor_a but_o that_o he_o have_v always_o year_n enough_o to_o speak_v for_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o he_o mean_v let_v it_o be_v what_o it_o

but_o indeed_o so_o zealous_a be_v this_o passionate_a advocate_n for_o his_o religion_n i._n e._n his_o estate_n for_o so_o he_o afterward_o explain_v himself_o that_o to_o secure_v his_o own_o

you_o be_v under_o a_o great_a hazard_n that_o your_o child_n may_v curse_v you_o nay_o be_v bind_v to_o curse_v you_o that_o be_v more_o a_o strange_a obligation_n this_o upon_o child_n that_o they_o

that_o rely_v upon_o such_o maxim_n make_v it_o utter_o impossible_a ever_o to_o establish_v any_o much_o less_o the_o protestant_a religion_n i_o admire_v what_o wonder_v this_o worthy_a patriot_n
