The Seventh Speech by an Honourable Gentleman.

The Question now before you is, Whether any other means be effectual besides the Bill; I have heard none proposed in this Parliament; the last Parliament thought not fit to debate them, they were so weak, but hath this Plot been no longer than 1678. We gave 250000 l. to fight the Dutch, and assist them that had a Design to subdue us, and the Protestant Religion, which is not well settled. Have all the Laws been put in Ex∣ecution against the Papists? But a few Apprentices going to pull down a Bawdy-house, with a Red Cloth on a Pole, was made Treason, but what hath been done with the Plot in the intervals of Parliament. The Lords have confirmed the King in his Opi∣nion; but did not the Proviso for the D. come from the Lords House; I believe the Lords do not fear him; but I believe the Plot is more dangerous than ever. To rely upon any Remedy but this Bill, will expose your Selves and your Religion.
