Excerpt from The History of England, From the Invasion of Julius C???sar to the Revolution in 1688, Vol. 3 of 8 IN the houfs of commons, the reafoning of the exclu fionifts appeared the molt convincing; and the bill paffed by a great majority. It was in the houfe of peers that the king expected to oppofe it with fuccefs. The court party was there fo prevalent, that it was carried only by a majority of two to pay fo much regard to the bill as even to commit it. When it came to be debated, the conteit was violent. Shafteibury, Sunderland, and Efl???x argued for it Halifax chiefly conducted the debate againfl it, and difplayed an extent of capacity and a force of elo Quence, which had never been furpaifed in that aifembly. He was animated, as well by the greatnefs of the occa fion, as by a rivalfhip with his uncle Shaftefbury; whom, during that day's debate, he feemed, in the judgement of all, to have totally eclipfed. The king was prefent dur ing the whole debate, which was prolonged till eleven at night. The bill was thrown out by a confiderable majo rity. All the bifhops, except three, voted againfi: it. Befides the influence of the court over them the church of England, they imagined or pretended, was in greater danger from the prevalence of prefbyterianifm than of popery, which, though favoured by the duke, and even by the king, was extremely repugnant to the genius of the nation.
