have_v of_o late_a year_n labour_v under_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o a_o general_a and_o original_a consideration_n we_o can_v but_o impute_v they_o to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o this_o nation_n but_o in_o a_o second_o and_o more_o particular_a consideration_n we_o may_v proper_o assign_v they_o unto_o the_o violent_a counsel_n of_o some_o late_a minister_n of_o state_n who_o either_o for_o want_n of_o counsel_n or_o by_o malicious_a practice_n have_v bring_v this_o state_n from_o a_o happy_a firm_a and_o strong_a constitution_n to_o so_o weak_a and_o feeble_a a_o temper_n that_o the_o great_a physician_n the_o parliament_n can_v but_o with_o extreme_a difficulty_n apply_v remedy_n fit_a and_o proportionable_a to_o the_o disease_n but_o they_o inevitable_o run_v some_o hazard_n of_o endanger_n the_o body_n itself_o it_o be_v very_o perilous_a to_o apply_v strong_a remedy_n than_o the_o strength_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o patient_n can_v well_o bear_v mr._n speaker_n you_o be_v true_o tell_v by_o a_o grave_n and_o worthy_a member_n at_o the_o beginning_n of_o this_o parliament_n that_o it_o must_v be_v some_o extreme_a necessity_n that_o will_v rectify_v and_o recover_v this_o state_n and_o that_o when_o that_o extremity_n do_v come_v it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a hazard_n whether_o it_o may_v prove_v a_o remedy_n or_o a_o ruin_n and_o this_o be_v occasion_v chief_o because_o violent_a disease_n do_v most_o common_o require_v violent_a remedy_n and_o violent_a remedy_n be_v ordinary_o pregnant_a of_o new_a

calm_o and_o serious_o consider_v how_o natural_a a_o motion_n it_o be_v to_o most_o man_n not_o limit_v by_o some_o law_n when_o they_o be_v come_v out_o of_o one_o extreme_a wherein_o they_o have_v

to_o our_o military_a discipline_n and_o how_o have_v this_o ground_n of_o strength_n be_v shake_v partly_o by_o the_o loss_n of_o able_a and_o experience_a commander_n in_o fruitless_a if_o not_o

please_v but_o i_o shall_v be_v bold_a to_o tell_v you_o that_o all_o the_o law_n that_o we_o have_v or_o shall_v make_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o our_o religion_n or_o liberty_n without_o provident_a care_n in_o this_o particular_a will_v be_v but_o like_o to_o sumptuous_a and_o glorious_a structure_n without_o roof_n or_o cover_n subject_a to_o all_o weather_n and_o storm_n that_o
