any_o subject_n be_v and_o it_o look_v like_o a_o ill_a return_n to_o his_o gracious_a and_o bountiful_a master_n that_o he_o never_o entitle_v he_o to_o any_o thing_n for_o his_o honour_n but_o as_o

but_o this_o lord_n have_v not_o act_v so_o for_o his_o king_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a will_v fix_v ill_a thing_n on_o he_o for_o if_o what_o be_v charge_v upon_o he_o have_v be_v avowable_a there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o make_v any_o other_o plea_n than_o what_o may_v proceed_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n this_o bring_v i_o to_o consider_v the_o expression_n about_o the_o

of_o this_o matter_n i_o dare_v proceed_v to_o consider_v it_o with_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o paragraph_n i_o agree_v with_o the_o author_n that_o the_o clause_n that_o give_v the_o parliament_n offence_n he_o may_v have_v add_v and_o every_o englishman_n that_o read_v it_o beside_o be_v this_o in_o case_n the_o condition_n of_o the_o peace_n shall_v be_v accept_v the_o king_n expect_v to_o have_v six_o million_o of_o livre_n yearly_a for_o three_o year_n from_o the_o time_n that_o this_o agreement_n shall_v be_v sign_v betwixt_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o king_n of_o france_n because_o it_o will_v be_v two_o or_o three_o year_n before_o he_o can_v hope_v to_o find_v his_o parliament_n in_o a_o humour_n to_o give_v he_o supply_n after_o the_o have_v make_v any_o peace_n with_o france_n the_o reason_n give_v for_o this_o clause_n be_v remarkable_a that_o it_o be_v insert_v only_o for_o a_o motive_n to_o persuade_v the_o king_n of_o france_n to_o give_v a_o great_a sum_n than_o six_o million_o of_o livre_n because_o otherwise_o in_o the_o ill_a posture_n thing_n stand_v in_o the_o french_a king_n may_v suspect_v whether_o the_o king_n of_o england_n will_v agree_v to_o any_o peace_n at_o all_o i_o can_v imagine_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o motive_n to_o the_o french_a king_n to_o give_v money_n large_o nor_o to_o make_v he_o believe_v the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v firm_a to_o he_o but_o the_o condition_n of_o keep_v off_o parliament_n how_o clear_o do_v it_o now_o appear_v that_o this_o way_n only_o the_o french_a believe_v their_o interest_n be_v to_o be_v support_v and_o as_o if_o the_o old_a art_n of_o adjournment_n and_o prorogation_n have_v not_o be_v sufficient_a it_o be_v project_v now_o to_o let_v a_o lease_n of_o parliament_n to_o the_o french_a for_o three_o year_n and_o it_o be_v reasonable_o guess_v they_o will_v have_v be_v out_o of_o humour_n to_o grant_v supply_n when_o supply_n be_v get_v from_o other_o to_o destroy_v they_o but_o how_o after_o three_o year_n the_o parliament_n shall_v be_v bring_v in_o humour_n be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v it_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o the_o lease_n will_v have_v be_v renew_v the_o next_o objection_n to_o this_o letter_n he_o say_v have_v be_v that_o it_o be_v write_v the_o 25_o of_o march_n 78._o which_o be_v five_o day_n after_o the_o parliament_n have_v pass_v a_o act_n to_o raise_v money_n for_o a_o actual_a war_n with_o france_n this_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v true_a but_o answer_v first_o that_o a_o act_n to_o raise_v money_n for_o a_o war_n be_v no_o declaration_n of_o the_o war._n but_o that_o act_n be_v ground_v upon_o a_o message_n from_o the_o king_n to_o the_o parliament_n for_o a_o actual_a war_n and_o it_o be_v so_o declare_v to_o be_v by_o one_o of_o the_o secretary_n in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o but_o now_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o this_o impartial_a friend_n to_o advise_v his_o lord_n which_o to_o stand_v to_o whether_o the_o king_n be_v author_n of_o the_o message_n send_v by_o the_o secretary_n or_o of_o the_o clause_n in_o his_o letter_n for_o sure_a though_o he_o have_v be_v very_o bold_a with_o the_o king_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o make_v he_o own_o contradiction_n at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o second_o be_v that_o till_o such_o declaration_n all_o treaty_n be_v lawful_a and_o even_o then_o too_o if_o the_o king_n please_v in_o who_o the_o sole_a power_n of_o make_v peace_n and_o war_n be_v make_v by_o law_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o in_o the_o time_n of_o war_n declare_v the_o king_n may_v treat_v of_o peace_n but_o whether_o this_o lord_n may_v treat_v for_o it_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o by_o the_o clause_n of_o the_o

or_o else_o this_o minister_n may_v be_v in_o fault_n though_o the_o other_o be_v not_o but_o i_o suppose_v the_o minister_n be_v not_o so_o bold_a upon_o this_o point_n abroad_o as_o this_o

the_o case_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n have_v be_v conversant_a in_o many_o affair_n that_o relate_v to_o that_o lord_n at_o the_o first_o read_v of_o it_o i_o be_v not_o a_o little_a surprise_v

examine_v this_o sharp_a censure_n upon_o the_o parliament_n for_o so_o ill_o reward_v the_o merit_n of_o this_o deserve_a lord_n as_o to_o let_v malice_n have_v too_o great_a a_o share_n in_o his_o

be_v i_o can_v tell_v but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n himself_o it_o be_v a_o friend_n more_o passionate_a than_o usual_a and_o one_o that_o give_v he_o so_o large_a a_o character_n and_o in_o who_o cause_n he_o condemn_v both_o king_n and_o country_n that_o it_o seem_v hardly_o credible_a that_o one_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o extravagant_o kind_a for_o another_o but_o rather_o the_o production_n of_o self-interest_n and_o conceit_n and_o compare_v the_o style_n and_o argument_n with_o this_o lord_n speech_n in_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n when_o he_o be_v charge_v it_o help_v to_o

other_o shall_v be_v so_o to_o he_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o particular_a remark_n and_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o matter_n of_o fact_n the_o faithful_a discharge_n of_o this_o lord_n trust_v as_o treasurer_n of_o the_o navy_n to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o great_a content_n of_o the_o seaman_n it_o be_v fit_a to_o observe_v that_o this_o office_n depend_v on_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o commissioner_n of_o the_o navy_n what_o to_o pay_v and_o on_o the_o lord_n treasurer_n or_o commissioner_n of_o the_o treasury_n for_o money_n to_o pay_v so_o that_o if_o this_o lord_n give_v content_a it_o seem_v he_o be_v supply_v to_o make_v himself_o capable_a of_o the_o performance_n but_o his_o impartial_a friend_n attribute_n all_o this_o to_o his_o lordship_n as_o he_o do_v other_o thing_n to_o his_o management_n with_o so_o much_o prudence_n and_o success_n but_o yet_o it_o will_v appear_v he_o have_v but_o ill-luck_n in_o his_o first_o assertion_n for_o since_o the_o treasury_n of_o the_o navy_n be_v so_o confine_v the_o great_a trust_n that_o remain_v in_o he_o be_v only_o in_o sum_n of_o money_n which_o can_v be_v violate_v by_o

they_o after_o this_o he_o wind_v up_o all_o upon_o this_o sure_a bottom_n in_o these_o word_n in_o short_a it_o will_v be_v ill_a for_o minister_n of_o state_n and_o worse_o for_o their_o master_n

the_o servant_n can_v less_o expect_v protection_n unless_o their_o master_n be_v above_o the_o law_n the_o great_a master_n of_o the_o nation_n can_v give_v no_o more_o protection_n nor_o require_v more_o obedience_n than_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o man_n allow_v if_o obedience_n be_v the_o excuse_n of_o ill_a act_n it_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o good_a duty_n and_o if_o absolution_n be_v fix_v to_o obedience_n all_o crime_n have_v lose_v their_o nature_n and_o counsellor_n shall_v only_o be_v swear_v to_o a_o prince_n will_v and_o not_o his_o interest_n if_o a_o prince_n of_o another_o

but_o this_o argument_n of_o such_o a_o implicit_a obedience_n be_v only_o put_v into_o the_o disguise_n of_o conscience_n to_o prevent_v the_o true_a obedience_n of_o christianity_n rather_o to_o

to_o hazard_v i_o have_v now_o go_v through_o this_o lord_n performance_n in_o the_o treasury_n and_o state-affair_n and_o as_o for_o that_o which_o follow_v about_o the_o murder_n of_o sir_n

and_o betake_v himself_o to_o a_o pardon_n but_o this_o particular_a of_o make_v a_o defence_n or_o rely_v upon_o a_o pardon_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o lord_n himself_o and_o to_o draw_v argument_n from_o thence_o to_o imply_v a_o guilt_n will_v rather_o show_v a_o desire_n to_o find_v a_o crime_n than_o prove_v it_o nor_o will_v i_o meddle_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o pardon_n by_o what_o

englishman_n he_o conclude_v that_o it_o may_v be_v reasonable_o object_v from_o thence_o why_o a_o man_n so_o qualify_v to_o defend_v himself_o shall_v quit_v all_o defence_n but_o his_o pardon_n but_o if_o by_o the_o observation_n that_o i_o have_v make_v the_o contrary_a do_v appear_v his_o pardon_n be_v certain_o the_o best_a defence_n to_o insist_v on_o the_o conclusion_n of_o this_o whole_a matter_n bring_v i_o to_o my_o last_o observation_n upon_o the_o complaint_n make_v that_o innocence_n be_v no_o protection_n to_o prince_n or_o subject_a for_o one_o he_o instance_n the_o last_o bless_a king_n for_o the_o other_o this_o lord_n and_o make_v the_o severity_n of_o their_o case_n equal_a this_o indeed_o if_o true_a be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n for_o plead_v his_o pardon_n when_o his_o innocency_n can_v be_v no_o protection_n and_o agree_v with_o the_o foundation_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o beginning_n that_o malice_n have_v too_o great_a a_o share_n in_o his_o prosecution_n so_o that_o he_o return_v a_o charge_n upon_o his_o prosecutor_n the_o commons_o for_o malice_n and_o against_o his_o judge_n and_o jury_n the_o peer_n as_o no_o regarder_n of_o innocency_n though_o in_o this_o lord_n case_n argue_v against_o the_o libeler_n that_o will_v fix_v sir_n edmundbury_n godfrey_n death_n on_o he_o he_o say_v in_o that_o they_o do_v accuse_v the_o witness_n judge_n and_o jury_n that_o condemn_a other_o for_o it_o but_o now_o it_o seem_v he_o argue_v another_o way_n not_o allow_v so_o much_o favour_n to_o lord_n and_o commons_o as_o to_o the_o other_o nor_o do_v he_o deal_v less_o bold_o with_o all_o king_n and_o their_o reputation_n that_o come_v in_o his_o way_n upon_o this_o king_n he_o endeavour_v to_o fix_v many_o of_o the_o crime_n charge_v on_o he_o and_o with_o his_o father_n suffering_n and_o virtue_n compare_v his_o own_o the_o excellent_a nature_n and_o bounty_n of_o the_o first_o as_o little_a merit_v the_o return_n as_o
