any_o adventurer_n shall_v be_v in_o debt_n and_o suffer_v a_o extent_n or_o execution_n to_o come_v forth_o against_o he_o that_o the_o committee_n for_o the_o time_n be_v shall_v and_o may_v sell_v and_o dispose_v of_o such_o adventurer_n share_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o mine_n at_o the_o best_a price_n that_o can_v be_v have_v on_o the_o exchange_n for_o the_o same_o and_o therewith_o pay_v off_o and_o discharge_v the_o say_a debt_n the_o creditor_n assign_v his_o security_n to_o the_o say_a committee_n ld._n b._n well_o sir_n i_o must_v own_o that_o i_o be_o abundant_o satisfy_v that_o this_o be_v a_o honest_a undertake_n but_o what_o do_v you_o say_v to_o my_o lord_n be_v other_o question_n do_v you_o want_v no_o help_n from_o the_o legislative_a power_n merch._n there_o be_v no_o company_n so_o great_a but_o the_o legislative_a power_n be_v able_a to_o make_v they_o great_a but_o at_o present_a i_o do_v know_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o desire_v unless_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o parliament_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o pass_v a_o act_n to_o save_v the_o live_v of_o some_o criminal_n condemn_v to_o die_n for_o lesser_a offence_n and_o order_v they_o to_o be_v transport_v over_o severn_n to_o work_v in_o the_o mine_n dr._n sir_n i_o thank_v you_o for_o that_o thought_n certain_o there_o be_v nothing_o can_v redound_v more_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o christian_a kingdom_n than_o such_o a_o law_n whereby_o the_o soul_n of_o many_o thousand_o of_o man_n may_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_o save_v as_o well_o as_o their_o body_n from_o utter_a ruin_n and_o destruction_n merch._n but_o beside_o the_o charity_n of_o such_o a_o law_n there_o be_v no_o small_a policy_n therein_o for_o thereby_o the_o nation_n will_v reap_v the_o benefit_n of_o their_o labour_n and_o the_o poor_a penitent_a criminal_n be_v able_a to_o make_v some_o atonement_n for_o their_o crime_n in_o the_o service_n of_o their_o native_a country_n ld._n a._n what_o you_o mention_v be_v a_o law_n that_o all_o good_a man_n will_v be_v very_o well_o please_v with_o but_o that_o we_o have_v get_v such_o a_o horrible_a notion_n in_o england_n of_o slavery_n that_o i_o doubt_v such_o a_o law_n will_v never_o be_v carry_v in_o our_o parliament_n ld._n b._n true_o my_o lord_n i_o be_o of_o your_o opinion_n i_o believe_v it_o will_v never_o admit_v of_o a_o debate_n the_o very_a title_n of_o such_o a_o act_n to_o make_v englishman_n slave_n will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o throw_v it_o out_o of_o the_o house_n upon_o the_o first_o motion_n dr._n my_o lord_n i_o humble_o beg_v leave_v with_o all_o due_a submission_n to_o your_o lordship_n to_o discourse_v this_o matter_n a_o little_a far_o i_o humble_o hope_v your_o lordship_n however_o will_v not_o throw_v it_o out_o without_o debate_n nor_o be_v offend_v with_o i_o for_o offer_v my_o poor_a thought_n on_o this_o occasion_n to_o your_o lordship_n consideration_n ld._n b._n no_o good_a doctor_n pray_v go_v on_o sir_n and_o say_v what_o you_o please_v dr._n my_o lord_n i_o presume_v that_o our_o noble_a english_a patriot_n be_v not_o angry_a with_o mere_a word_n or_o sound_n but_o with_o the_o thing_n itself_o call_v slavery_n that_o be_v they_o abhor_v that_o absolute_a and_o arbitrary_a power_n which_o be_v use_v in_o other_o country_n of_o condemn_a man_n to_o the_o galley_n for_o lesser_a offence_n but_o i_o can_v think_v they_o do_v abhor_v the_o save_n of_o a_o english-man_n life_n when_o he_o be_v condemn_v to_o die_v that_o which_o be_v now_o propose_v be_v not_o to_o make_v englishman_n slave_n that_o be_v entitle_v to_o liberty_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o save_v condemn_v criminal_n that_o have_v forfeit_v their_o liberty_n from_o the_o slavery_n both_o of_o sin_n and_o death_n ld._n b._n but_o you_o will_v still_o make_v they_o slave_n to_o work_v at_o the_o mine_n dr._n my_o lord_n i_o will_v so_o but_o they_o be_v first_o dead_a in_o law_n they_o have_v forfeit_v their_o birthright_n they_o be_v no_o long_o englishman_n they_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n to_o die_v their_o blood_n be_v attaint_v and_o the_o law_n have_v no_o far_a tenderness_n or_o regard_n for_o they_o can_v any_o englishman_n be_v in_o fear_n of_o such_o a_o law_n no_o certain_o if_o he_o commit_v no_o offence_n worthy_a of_o death_n he_o be_v in_o no_o danger_n if_o he_o do_v he_o will_v be_v glad_a of_o such_o a_o deliverance_n to_o save_v his_o life_n to_o have_v time_n to_o repent_v and_o to_o live_v among_o christian_n in_o his_o own_o country_n where_o he_o will_v have_v a_o chaplain_n to_o take_v care_n of_o his_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o a_o keeper_n of_o his_o body_n ld._n a._n i_o protest_v the_o doctor_n distinguish_v very_o well_o in_o this_o case_n if_o man_n will_v have_v patience_n to_o hear_v this_o matter_n fair_o debate_v i_o can_v think_v but_o they_o will_v have_v another_o opinion_n of_o such_o a_o law_n then_o now_o they_o have_v for_o as_o the_o doctor_n observe_v the_o thing_n we_o fear_v be_v that_o in_o case_n of_o misdemeanour_n or_o other_o slight_a offence_n instead_o of_o fine_a and_o imprisonment_n or_o any_o other_o usual_a corporal_a punishment_n the_o judge_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o condemn_v a_o english_a man_n to_o any_o sort_n of_o slavery_n which_o will_v be_v of_o ill_a consequence_n for_o we_o be_v tender_a of_o our_o liberty_n but_o where_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o lose_v our_o liberty_n till_o a_o man_n be_v first_o condemn_v to_o die_v and_o have_v forfeit_v his_o estate_n liberty_n life_n and_o all_o i_o think_v that_o alter_v the_o case_n very_o much_o for_o this_o be_v to_o add_v liberty_n to_o a_o englishman_n not_o to_o take_v it_o away_o since_o there_o be_v more_o liberty_n in_o any_o life_n than_o in_o the_o dark_a region_n of_o death_n merch._n true_o my_o lord_n i_o think_v such_o a_o law_n can_v never_o be_v more_o seasonable_a then_o at_o this_o time_n our_o late_a war_n have_v take_v off_o many_o thousand_o man_n life_n the_o country_n want_v man_n for_o their_o necessary_a work_n of_o husbandry_n especial_o in_o harvest_n time_n and_o if_o another_o war_n shall_v happen_v the_o king_n will_v want_v soldier_n and_o therefore_o for_o all_o felony_n and_o larceny_n without_o benefit_n of_o clergy_n except_o treason_n and_o murder_n i_o think_v such_o a_o law_n will_v be_v of_o great_a advantage_n to_o the_o public_a as_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v to_o your_o lordship_n ld._n b._n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o your_o mine_n perhaps_o but_o i_o do_v know_v whether_o it_o will_v be_v so_o great_a a_o advantage_n to_o the_o public_a to_o have_v a_o nest_n of_o rogue_n in_o the_o kingdom_n dr._n hard_a labour_n will_v in_o time_n bring_v down_o the_o high_a spirit_n and_o with_o god_n blessing_n and_o good_a management_n in_o a_o christian_a country_n may_v bring_v they_o to_o a_o sense_n of_o religion_n and_o virtue_n merch._n my_o lord_n though_o i_o propose_v some_o advantage_n to_o the_o mine_n by_o this_o law_n yet_o i_o propose_v more_o to_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o public_a if_o your_o lordship_n please_v to_o hear_v i_o out_o ld._n a._n sir_n i_o will_v hear_v you_o very_o patient_o in_o any_o thing_n for_o the_o advantage_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o public_a therefore_o pray_v go_v on_o merch._n my_o lord_n i_o propose_v that_o the_o mine-adventurer_n shall_v pay_v a_o acknowledgement_n to_o his_o majesty_n for_o every_o such_o criminal_a that_o be_v to_o say_v whereas_o a_o workman_n in_o that_o country_n may_v deserve_v nine_o penny_n per_fw-la day_n i_o will_v divide_v that_o nine_o penny_n into_o three_o part_n and_o apply_v four_o penny_n per_fw-la day_n to_o maintain_v the_o criminal_a in_o meat_n and_o drink_n three_o penny_n per_fw-la day_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o two_o penny_n a_o day_n to_o the_o company_n for_o clothes_n and_o other_o incident_a charge_n whereby_o his_o majesty_n will_v have_v a_o annual_a rent_n of_o four_o pound_n per_fw-la ann._n and_o upward_o for_o each_o criminal_a at_o which_o rate_n one_o thousand_o criminal_n will_v yield_v above_o four_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o ten_o thousand_o criminal_n above_o forty_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la this_o be_v no_o contemptible_a income_n and_o in_o all_o the_o mine_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n so_o many_o man_n may_v easy_o be_v employ_v ld._n b._n i_o protest_v i_o be_o bring_v over_o i_o like_v this_o motion_n very_o well_o and_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o far_o this_o thought_n may_v be_v improve_v to_o many_o other_o purpose_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o mine_n and_o bring_v in_o a_o very_a great_a revenue_n and_o thereby_o become_v very_o
