in_o his_o speech_n my_o liberty_n and_o property_n be_v dear_a to_o i_o and_o i_o will_v support_v the_o k_n prerogative_n too_o and_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v remove_v those_o people_n briar_n and_o thorn_n who_o scratch_v you_o in_o your_o intention_n against_o popery_n which_o i_o see_v we_o can_v prevent_v without_o this_o bill_n to_o exclude_v the_o duke_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o for_o it_o col_fw-fr b._n i_o be_o hearty_o glad_a to_o find_v that_o the_o zeal_n of_o the_o house_n still_o continue_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n my_o opnion_n be_v that_o we_o can_v preserve_v the_o protestant_a religion_n with_o a_o popish_a successor_n to_o the_o crown_n no_o more_o than_o water_n can_v be_v keep_v cold_a in_o the_o hot_a pot_n but_o i_o will_v do_v it_o in_o all_o the_o decent_a way_n to_o come_v at_o it_o the_o king_n recommend_v to_o you_o in_o his_o speech_n to_o look_v back_o to_o what_o he_o former_o say_v as_o to_o the_o succession_n etc._n etc._n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o prevent_v popery_n but_o a_o bill_n to_o exclude_v the_o d._n etc._n etc._n from_o the_o succession_n etc._n etc._n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o it_o will_v be_v more_o decent_a to_o our_o prince_n and_o better_a for_o those_o who_o send_v we_o hither_o that_o before_o the_o bill_n be_v bring_v in_o to_o give_v it_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o day_n to_o consider_v of_o the_o expedient_n to_o save_v religion_n under_o a_o popish_a successor_n for_o that_o i_o shall_v expect_v from_o some_o honourable_a person_n but_o if_o none_o come_v than_o you_o may_v proceed_v to_o this_o bill_n with_o more_o honour_n therefore_o i_o move_v to_o appoint_v a_o day_n to_o consider_v of_o it_o sir_n j._n e._n i_o shall_v not_o have_v trouble_v you_o but_o from_o what_o be_v speak_v last_o by_o all_o mean_n just_a and_o lawful_a we_o be_v to_o secure_v our_o religion_n and_o property_n we_o see_v the_o great_a attempt_n make_v upon_o we_o from_o rome_n and_o we_o must_v do_v something_o for_o our_o far_a security_n i_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o former_a bill_n of_o exclude_v the_o d._n etc._n etc._n nor_o of_o the_o k.'s_n speech_n that_o give_v you_o latitude_n for_o expedient_n and_o i_o will_v not_o offer_v any_o if_o i_o think_v they_o will_v not_o do_v as_o well_o as_o that_o bill_n which_o be_v but_o a_o expedient_a but_o because_o the_o k._n have_v declare_v against_o that_o bill_n and_o invite_v you_o to_o expedient_n i_o will_v not_o put_v that_o bill_n any_o more_o to_o the_o hazard_n of_o rejection_n but_o think_v of_o some_o expedient_n w._n h._n i_o can_v see_v no_o expedient_a to_o save_v religion_n and_o preserve_v the_o k_n person_n but_o the_o bill_n to_o exclude_v the_o d._n etc._n etc._n all_o gentleman_n i_o believe_v will_v be_v willing_a as_o to_o the_o manner_n and_o save_v the_o matter_n but_o when_o our_o prince_n be_v encompass_v all_o with_o the_o d.'s_n creature_n the_o d.'s_n safety_n be_v because_o of_o their_o dependency_n the_o danger_n be_v not_o from_o popery_n but_o from_o the_o king_n be_v be_v encompass_v with_o the_o d.'s_n creature_n i_o will_v proceed_v in_o this_o matter_n with_o all_o decency_n and_o since_o a_o day_n be_v move_v for_o pray_v let_v we_o have_v time_n to_o consider_v sir_n c._n m._n you_o be_v invite_v by_o the_o k.'s_n gracious_a motion_n to_o consider_v how_o to_o preserve_v religion_n etc._n etc._n i_o desire_v we_o may_v not_o now_o put_v a_o question_n for_o bring_v in_o a_o bill_n to_o seclude_v the_o d._n etc._n etc._n else_o proper_o we_o can_v consider_v any_o expedient_n for_o preservation_n of_o religion_n b._n w._n the_o consideration_n of_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v of_o that_o weight_n that_o though_o we_o have_v show_v our_o zeal_n to_o it_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o run_v upon_o a_o thing_n of_o this_o great_a nature_n without_o consideration_n they_o who_o advise_v the_o k_n speech_n must_v answer_v for_o it_o the_o word_n of_o the_o speech_n be_v if_o any_o other_o way_n can_v be_v find_v out_o etc._n etc._n vide_fw-la i_o think_v those_o about_o the_o king_n have_v do_v enough_o to_o ruin_v he_o and_o we_o but_o i_o will_v have_v the_o k._n see_v we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o put_v he_o upon_o that_o stress_n that_o we_o will_v help_v he_o out_o i_o think_v that_o speech_n the_o k._n read_v to_o we_o to_o have_v nothing_o of_o the_o king_n be_v in_o it_o he_o be_v a_o better_a man_n and_o a_o better_a protestant_a than_o to_o do_v it_o of_o himself_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o put_v our_o resolution_n as_o flat_a and_o as_o short_a as_o that_o be_v in_o the_o king_n speech_n the_o king_n have_v go_v as_o far_o as_o this_o resolution_n in_o his_o speech_n come_v to_o in_o his_o declaration_n about_o dissenter_n former_o and_o yet_o from_o the_o reason_n from_o hence_o he_o be_v persuade_v to_o revoke_v it_o if_o person_n have_v be_v so_o prevalent_a as_o to_o put_v the_o king_n upon_o this_o speech_n let_v i_o see_v those_o person_n so_o forward_o to_o bring_v the_o king_n into_o a_o thing_n to_o help_v he_o out_o if_o they_o do_v not_o i_o hope_v the_o king_n will_v lay_v the_o blame_n at_o their_o door_n and_o not_o at_o we_o if_o they_o can_v have_v tell_v we_o what_o expedient_n be_v necessary_a they_o will_v have_v put_v they_o into_o the_o king_n speech_n and_o the_o resolution-part_n of_o not_o alter_v the_o succession_n will_v have_v be_v leave_v out_o a_o little_a consideration_n of_o this_o great_a matter_n can_v do_v we_o no_o hurt_n and_o will_v satisfy_v the_o people_n without_o door_n but_o if_o they_o about_o the_o k._n can_v find_v out_o no_o expedient_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v lay_v they_o aside_o and_o take_v their_o counsel_n no_o more_o put_v not_o off_o this_o consideration_n far_o than_o saturday_n and_o if_o they_o can_v find_v we_o out_o a_o expedient_a betwixt_o this_o and_o then_o it_o be_v very_o well_o h._n p._n i_o have_v always_o observe_v that_o the_o most_o deliberate_a proceed_n have_v have_v the_o best_a success_n here_o and_o the_o best_a reputation_n abroad_o i_o be_o as_o willing_a as_o any_o man_n to_o come_v to_o this_o move_v for_o but_o with_o deliberate_a step_n for_o my_o share_n though_o i_o hear_v of_o expedient_n abroad_o yet_o i_o can_v conceive_v that_o a_o title_n or_o name_n can_v destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o expedient_n but_o the_o king_n in_o his_o speech_n have_v hold_v you_o out_o a_o handle_n vide_fw-la and_o i_o will_v not_o give_v those_o about_o the_o king_n occasion_n to_o say_v that_o this_o house_n run_v into_o a_o breach_n with_o he_o i_o will_v pay_v the_o king_n all_o the_o respect_n in_o the_o world_n and_o you_o can_v avoid_v set_v apart_o a_o time_n to_o consider_v expedient_n and_o i_o will_v not_o mix_v any_o thing_n with_o the_o debate_n that_o day_n i_o think_v to_o morrow_n be_v too_o soon_o to_o debate_v it_o i_o shall_v propose_v saturday_n for_o the_o consideration_n and_o then_o let_v we_o do_v what_o be_v fit_a in_o so_o weighty_a a_o matter_n r._n h._n this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a weight_n and_o i_o will_v adjourn_v it_o to_o to_o morrow_n for_o the_o reason_n of_o propose_v expedient_n i_o do_v not_o move_v to_o adjourn_v for_o that_o for_o it_o it_o be_v as_o little_a reason_n to_o i_o to_o expect_v any_o as_o it_o be_v the_o last_o parliament_n that_o parliament_n give_v reason_n why_o no_o expedient_n can_v be_v of_o any_o effect_n but_o this_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n and_o that_o parliament_n see_v enough_o of_o expedient_n there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o talk_v of_o abroad_o in_o the_o street_n and_o will_v you_o hear_v expedient_n what_o can_v a_o man_n say_v less_o with_o any_o modesty_n but_o no_o man_n can_v say_v but_o we_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o lose_v our_o religion_n if_o the_o d._n shall_v come_v to_o the_o crown_n but_o the_o question_n before_o you_o be_v whether_o you_o will_v put_v off_o this_o debate_n therefore_o i_o move_v that_o the_o house_n will_v take_v into_o debate_n the_o security_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n to_o morrow_n sir_n f._n w._n all_o that_o i_o shall_v propose_v be_v that_o you_o will_v so_o word_n the_o question_n as_o to_o have_v no_o diminution_n to_o the_o motion_n make_v for_o the_o bill_n etc._n etc._n upon_o your_o book_n nor_o prejudice_n nor_o reflection_n when_o this_o bill_n past_o the_o last_o parliament_n it_o be_v nemine_fw-la contradicente_fw-la and_o most_o of_o this_o parliament_n be_v of_o the_o last_o for_o expedient_n it_o be_v a_o word_n mighty_o use_v and_o talk_v of_o and_o willing_o embrace_v but_o none_o have_v be_v propose_v
expectation_n of_o our_o safety_n but_o the_o bill_n to_o exclude_v the_o duke_n and_o therefore_o i_o move_v for_o it_o etc._n etc._n h._n c._n if_o this_o debate_n must_v be_v proceed_v in_o with_o the_o regularity_n and_o circumspection_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v you_o have_v transgress_v the_o order_n of_o the_o day_n already_o several_a gentleman_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o expedient_a but_o none_o tell_v we_o what_o be_v all_o man_n believe_v the_o religion_n of_o the_o duke_n be_v as_o fatal_a the_n to_o the_o nation_n as_o can_v be_v shall_v he_o come_v to_o be_v king_n and_o what_o do_v they_o deserve_v that_o pervert_v the_o duke_n but_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o depend_v upon_o this_o house_n and_o let_v we_o proceed_v like_o man_n if_o we_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o exclusion_n of_o the_o duke_n be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o preserve_v religion_n this_o house_n can_v do_v it_o alone_o if_o we_o can_v have_v that_o best_a way_n we_o be_v guilty_a to_o our_o country_n if_o we_o take_v none_o if_o a_o man_n be_v sick_a and_o so_o order_v that_o nothing_o must_v be_v take_v but_o by_o direction_n of_o three_o physician_n and_o two_o be_v for_o give_v he_o the_o jesuit_n powder_n and_o one_o against_o it_o and_o he_o think_v he_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o his_o profession_n but_o they_o all_o three_o not_o agree_v it_o must_v the_o patient_n take_v nothing_o and_o we_o be_v but_o one_o part_n of_o the_o legislative_a power_n but_o for_o expedient_n i_o remember_v in_o the_o dutch_a war_n the_o house_n go_v into_o a_o grand_a committee_n to_o consider_v expedient_n for_o raise_v money_n to_o save_v land-tax_n a_o man_n whoever_o he_o be_v that_o propose_v a_o expedient_a will_v desire_v leave_n to_o make_v good_a that_o expedient_a and_o must_v speak_v it_o may_v be_v often_o to_o it_o but_o if_o it_o prove_v to_o be_v none_o that_o man_n will_v be_v trample_v upon_o a_o committee_n of_o the_o whole_a house_n will_v be_v most_o proper_a for_o this_o purpose_n if_o there_o be_v a_o dispute_n which_o question_n shall_v take_v place_n if_o the_o first_o be_v deny_v the_o other_o may_v take_v its_o place_n but_o not_o one_o to_o

try_v expedient_n else_o it_o be_v not_o consultare_fw-la but_o dicere_fw-la i_o be_o of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n of_o have_v this_o great_a matter_n debate_v in_o the_o house_n and_o for_o the_o reason_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o and_o if_o gentleman_n you_o will_v do_v reasonable_o a_o grand_a committee_n be_v your_o way_n to_o proceed_v in_o j._n s._n you_o have_v have_v motion_n propose_v

the_o papist_n have_v no_o sure_a way_n to_o effect_v their_o end_n for_o the_o house_n to_o go_v into_o a_o grand_a committee_n it_o be_v a_o motion_n of_o great_a weight_n if_o you_o deny_v it_o
