My Lords and Gentlemen,

I'm using this space to begin to collect the little snippets of text until a better place can be found.

Quote:My Lords and Gentlemen, the Question is that [QUESTION]. May all that are of that opinion say Content; to the contrary, Not Content.

QUESTION should be whatever it is the division is called to decide, such as:
  • this bill as presented shall be enacted
  • that the resolution do now pass
  • that the amendment do now be adopted
  • the Question be now put

The learned Mr. Livingston might edit these as needed.

God save the King
