A79849	Transcendent and multiplied rebellion and treason, discovered, by the lawes of the land.	Clarendon, Edward Hyde, Earl of, 1609-1674.	1645 (1645)	Wing C4428; Thomason E308_29; ESTC R200392	18,531	28

Consent of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament and in declaring of Lawes which He cannot doe but by the proper Iudges in His severall Courts but in all other things that are not expressely restrained by Law He is free and absolute and the Soveraignty both of Iudgement and Power is in the Person of the King alone As in providing for the present safety against suddaine danger and in levying of Armes suppressing of Tumults and Rebellion convoking of Parliaments and dissolving them making of Peers granting Liberty of sending Burgesses to Parliaments treating with Forreigne States making of Warre League and Peace giving of Honour Rewarding Pardoning c. And in these and the like particulars it is that they would farther limit and restraine the King that He should not governe as He hath done formerly according to his owne judgement and will informed and Regulated by the Advice of his Councell of State and Councellors at Law but according to the judgement and with the Consent of both Houses of Parliament in some Cases according to the judgement and with the Consent of the Parliaments of both Kingdomes and in some other Cases they would assume the Government wholly to themselves and they take up Armes and fight to force the Kings Vote and assent to severall Bills concerning these particulars and so at once wholly to overthrow the Kings Soveraignty Legislative and Gubernative But though others may not yet the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament may rise in a forcible manner and compell the King to governe as they please in some cases and deprive him of his Government in other cases as they please And others in obedience to their Authority and Command may assist in this Warre against His Majesty without Rebellion and Treason This is a false and Treasonable suggestion as Owen's was to corrupt the judgement of the People and to take off the bonds of Conscience towards His Majesty by advancing the Houses of Parliament above the King And the falsenesse and Treasonablenesse thereof will plainly appeare upon the due Consideration of the Kings Superiority to the two Houses of Parliament and of the Relation between His Majesty and the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament and between them and us out of Parliament 1. Touching the point of Superiority between the King and the Parliament the two Houses themselves have long since determined it The Parliament 25. H. 8. declares thus This your Grace's Realme recognizing no Superiour under God but your Grace The Parliament 16. R. 2. 5. affirmes the Crowne of England to have been so free at all times that it hath been in no earthly Subjection but immediatly to God in all things touching the Regality of the said Crowne and to none other Ergo The two Houses of Parliament cannot of Right have or exercise any authority over the Crowne or the Realme over the King or the Subject of England And though some Parliaments called in troublesome times of Faction as now and overswayed by those that were the head of the most potent Faction as at this time have de facto deposed and murthered some Kings yet such instances prove no more claime of Soveraignty in the Parliament over the King then a Robber when he exerciseth an Arbitrary power over a mans person and purse And the Observator himselfe confesseth ingeniously that there was never King deposed in a free Parliament And that the Acts of the Parliament R. 2. were not so properly the Acts of the two Houses as of H. ● and his Victorious Army Nor is it Treason only but impiety also to advance the Parliament the Representative of the people above the King the Representative of God And it is to set up Kings and not by God Hos. 8. 4. Yea and against him too 2. Touching the Relation between the King and the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament we must know this That the high Court of Parliament consists of three integrall parts the King the House of Lords and the House of Commons The King is the Head and the two Houses are the grosse Body subordinate to the King and to be considered alwayes as a part of the Parliament and in a notion under the King as well in Parliament as out of Parliament and they are subjected to the King in Parliament 1. In their persons for the King calls them together and dissolves them And as they have occasion to petition the King in Parliament they confesse themselves his Subjects and directing their Petitions to His Majesty thereby they acknowledge his Soveraignty Majesty being a Ray of Soveraignty Yea the very Legislative Acts wherein consists their Parliamentary Eminency speake them alwayes his Subjects and stile him their Soveraigne And according to the Information of the Iudges in the time of H. 8. The King in Parliament standeth in his highest Estate Royall in respect of the exercise of his Soveraigne Authority and power in making Lawes which he cannot doe but in Parliament Besides in token of his Soveraignty and their subjection the King personally taketh Homage and Oath of Fidelity of the Lords and he Commands the Commons before they Sit and Vote in the House to take the Oath of Supremacy and Allegiance whereby they acknowledge him to be the only Supream Governour in this Realme and sweare to assist and defend all Jurisdictions Priviledges Preheminences and Authorities belonging to him his Heires and Successors or annexed to the Imperiall Crowne of the Realme And farther the Lords and Commons in this present Parliament have bound themselves by their Protestation to maintaine and defend with their Lives power and Estates His Majesties Royall Person Honour and Estate So the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament are in the condition of Subjects to His Majesty and they have sworne Fidelity and Allegiance to him and therefore they cannot rise up against the King and compell him as aforesaid without manifest Rebellion and Perjury also 2. In their Votes in passing Bills and making Lawes wherein though they concurre with the King necessarily yet 't is not by equall Authority but by consent only not as joynt Soveraignes but as free Subjects not as enacting with the King but as choosing and preparing and proposing Lawes to be enacted by the King according to the passage in the Oath That the King shall Corroborate such Lawes as the People shall chuse And without this Corroboration by the Royall assent which gives life and motion to our Lawes the Votes of the two Houses of Parliament dye in the wombe where they were Conceived like an Embrio and never see the light 3. Touching the Relation between the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament and our selves out of Parliament we take them to be no other than our fellow Subjects and them with us and us with them to be equally subjected to our Soveraigne Lord the King who is Head both of the Kingdome and of the Parliament and to none other Nor
