afraid_a such_o bill_n as_o these_o will_v not_o do_v our_o business_n because_o they_o will_v not_o destroy_v that_o foot_n which_o they_o have_v at_o court_n nor_o strengthen_v the_o protestant_a

fit_a to_o be_v in_o place_n of_o trust_n it_o be_v so_o strange_a a_o way_n to_o preserve_v the_o protestant_a church_n and_o religion_n that_o it_o raise_v with_o i_o a_o doubt_n whether_o any_o such_o thing_n be_v design_v such_o person_n may_v be_v proper_a to_o manage_v affair_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o popish_a interest_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v admire_v that_o they_o and_o they_o only_a shall_v be_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v entrust_v with_o the_o protestant_a interest_n i_o think_v it_o as_o hard_o for_o they_o to_o do_v it_o as_o to_o serve_v two_o master_n it_o be_v not_o usual_a in_o other_o country_n to_o retain_v their_o enemy_n in_o the_o government_n nor_o such_o as_o be_v friend_n to_o their_o enemy_n and_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o we_o of_o all_o other_o nation_n shall_v fall_v into_o this_o piece_n of_o policy_n but_o sir_n for_o these_o reason_n you_o may_v conclude_v that_o unless_o what_o law_n you_o make_v be_v strong_a and_o well_o pen_v they_o will_v signify_v nothing_o against_o so_o powerful_a a_o party_n as_o you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o sir_n w._n j._n sir_n there_o have_v be_v so_o much_o say_v already_o upon_o the_o subject-matter_n of_o this_o debate_n that_o i_o shall_v have_v little_a occasion_n to_o trouble_v you_o long_o the_o worthy_a member_n that_o speak_v a_o while_n since_o have_v show_v you_o from_o whence_o our_o fear_n of_o popery_n arise_v from_o the_o dependence_n they_o have_v of_o assistance_n from_o france_n ireland_n and_o scotland_n in_o case_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o popish_a king_n beside_o the_o party_n they_o have_v here_o and_o the_o advantage_n they_o will_v have_v by_o the_o government_n which_o be_v already_o secure_v for_o that_o interest_n and_o of_o itself_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o contest_v with_o the_o protestant_a interest_n who_o in_o such_o a_o case_n will_v have_v no_o king_n to_o head_n they_o no_o person_n in_o any_o place_n of_o trust_n to_o execute_v any_o law_n in_o their_o behalf_n nor_o no_o legal_a power_n to_o defend_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o see_v there_o be_v a_o negative_a past_a upon_o the_o bill_n we_o have_v contrive_v to_o secure_v we_o from_o these_o great_a danger_n i_o think_v sir_n we_o may_v do_v well_o to_o try_v if_o we_o can_v get_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o i_o be_o persuade_v if_o this_o association-bill_n be_v make_v as_o

also_o do_v the_o same_o by_o this_o or_o dissolve_v the_o house_n before_o it_o come_v to_o perfection_n for_o this_o bill_n must_v be_v much_o strong_a than_o that_o in_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n
