But if, in your Opinion, Gent, there be any certain provision
made for us, which we know nothing of, it had been much
more Agreeable to us, and much more becomeing the Lower
House to have pointed out to us such provision, that we might
have profited ourselves thereby, than to have Employed your
time in writing a Satyr upon our Just Proceedings; in [ relation ]
to which we shall [only] let you see that as we have the Supe-
riority in our House, we Resolve by our disregard of your
Abuses to Entitle ourselves to it in good manners also, and so
we shall referr all further debate upon the Head of our Allow-
ances untill another Session.
