liberty_n and_o estate_n be_v only_o insist_v upon_o in_o my_o say_a charge_n f._n but_o pray_v sir_n tell_v i_o as_o to_o the_o king_n be_v he_o not_o the_o sole_a supreme_a power_n in_o england_n i._o no_o certain_o for_o than_o he_o can_v make_v law_n and_o raise_v money_n without_o the_o people_n consent_n but_o every_o print_a act_n of_o parliament_n will_v show_v you_o where_o the_o supreme_a power_n reside_v wherein_o it_o be_v express_o recite_v in_o these_o word_n be_v it_o therefore_o enact_v by_o the_o king_n be_v most_o excellent_a majesty_n and_o by_o and_o with_o the_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o the_o commons_o of_o this_o realm_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o same_o or_o as_o i_o can_v show_v you_o in_o several_a statute_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o viiith_o wherein_o it_o be_v recite_v thus_o be_v it_o enact_v by_o the_o assent_n and_o consent_v of_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n and_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o the_o commons_o in_o this_o present_a parliament_n assemble_v and_o by_o authority_n of_o the_o same_o whereby_o you_o may_v see_v that_o not_o only_o the_o word_n assent_v and_o consent_n but_o the_o word_n authority_n be_v refer_v as_o well_o to_o all_o the_o three_o estate_n as_o to_o the_o king_n f._n this_o i_o confess_v be_v plain_a enough_o but_o what_o be_v the_o king_n be_v chief_a prerogative_n i._o i_o will_v tell_v you_o in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o i_o can_v his_o majesty_n chief_a prerogative_n for_o to_o enumerate_v they_o all_o will_v be_v endless_a be_v these_o first_o to_o call_v parliament_n once_o a_o year_n or_o often_o and_o dissolve_v they_o if_o he_o please_v to_o give_v the_o last_o hand_n or_o sanction_n to_o all_o law_n for_o raise_v of_o tax_n and_o for_o the_o enact_v all_o other_o thing_n that_o his_o majesty_n join_v with_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v enact_v to_o appoint_v judge_n to_o try_v condemn_v and_o execute_v traitor_n and_o all_o other_o malefactor_n for_o treason_n and_o other_o crime_n and_o to_o grant_v pardon_n for_o those_o crime_n if_o his_o majesty_n shall_v think_v fit_a yet_o still_o according_a to_o his_o coronation_n oath_n to_o grant_v commission_n to_o all_o other_o magistrate_n and_o officer_n both_o civil_a and_o military_a no_o arm_n be_v regular_o to_o be_v raise_v but_o by_o his_o authority_n also_o by_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o privy-council_n to_o issue_v proclamation_n according_a to_o law_n and_o for_o the_o public_a good_a for_o enforce_v the_o observation_n of_o such_o law_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a in_o case_n those_o that_o be_v entrust_v with_o the_o execution_n of_o they_o prove_v too_o remiss_a last_o to_o make_v war_n and_o peace_n though_o the_o latter_a as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a of_o these_o be_v ancient_o very_o seldom_o make_v without_o the_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o parliament_n these_o be_v the_o chief_a prerogative_n which_o i_o mention_v in_o my_o charge_n though_o i_o grant_v there_o be_v divers_a other_o though_o less_o material_a f._n but_o pray_v sir_n can_v the_o king_n by_o his_o prerogative_n do_v some_o thing_n against_o the_o law_n and_o dispense_v with_o they_o in_o all_o case_n which_o he_o himself_o may_v judge_v for_o the_o common_a good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n i._o the_o king_n have_v ancient_o no_o power_n to_o dispense_v with_o statute_n with_o non_fw-la obstantes_fw-la and_o so_o it_o be_v solemn_o declare_v in_o the_o king_n bench_n in_o the_o 39th_o of_o k._n edward_n the_o 3d._n pasch._n by_o all_o the_o justice_n as_o a_o rule_n in_o law_n well_o know_v at_o that_o time_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o be_v it_o not_o too_o tedious_a how_o this_o prerogative_n of_o dispensation_n first_o begin_v but_o even_o then_o the_o king_n can_v not_o dispense_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v moral_o evil_a in_o itself_o or_o with_o what_o be_v enact_v by_o authority_n of_o parliament_n for_o the_o common_a good_a and_o safety_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n or_o nation_n in_o general_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o the_o late_a king_n james_n can_v not_o dispense_v with_o all_o statute_n concern_v the_o take_n away_o the_o test_n because_o the_o whole_a nation_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o they_o nor_o can_v he_o dispense_v with_o any_o act_n which_o confer_v a_o particular_a right_o or_o privilege_n on_o a_o three_o person_n and_o last_o he_o can_v not_o common_o dispense_v with_o any_o statute_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a provision_n to_o prevent_v the_o king_n from_o grant_v charter_n with_o clause_n of_o non-obstantes_a but_o now_o all_o dispensation_n with_o such_o statute_n be_v take_v away_o by_o a_o particular_a clause_n in_o the_o late_a act_n of_o the_o right_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n mar._n which_o you_o may_v see_v if_o you_o please_v and_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o solemn_a declaration_n of_o what_o be_v the_o ancient_a law_n of_o england_n before_o non_fw-la obstantes_fw-la come_v up_o f._n i_o be_o very_a well_o satisfy_v in_o this_o but_o pray_v sir_n tell_v i_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o king_n can_v as_o the_o supreme_a executive_a power_n of_o the_o kingdom_n exercise_v his_o royal_a prerogative_n though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o some_o particular_a person_n i._o i_o can_v give_v you_o a_o very_a good_a reason_n for_o this_o because_o this_o will_v be_v contrary_a to_o that_o trust_n which_o be_v at_o first_o repose_v in_o the_o king_n by_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o nation_n when_o this_o limit_a monarchy_n be_v first_o institute_v and_o which_o that_o ancient_a treatise_n call_v the_o mirror_n of_o justice_n 2._o write_v above_o four_o hundred_o year_n since_o very_o well_o set_v forth_o the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n as_o it_o stand_v before_o the_o conquest_n as_o also_o the_o original_a of_o the_o government_n of_o this_o kingdom_n by_o one_o person_n or_o monarch_n which_o he_o thus_o recite_v that_o when_o forty_o prince_n that_o be_v aldermen_z or_o earl_n of_o county_n do_v elect_a one_o king_n viz._n egbert_n to_o reign_v over_o they_o to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v their_o person_n and_o good_n in_o peace_n by_o rule_n of_o right_a they_o make_v he_o at_o first_o to_o swear_v that_o he_o will_v maintain_v with_o all_o his_o power_n the_o true_a christian_a faith_n and_o will_v govern_v his_o people_n by_o right_a without_o any_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o will_v also_o be_v obedient_a to_o suffer_v right_o i._n e._n justice_n as_o well_o as_o other_o of_o his_o people_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o all_o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v trust_v in_o the_o king_n by_o law_n for_o the_o good_a and_o preservation_n of_o his_o people_n and_o not_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o a_o arbitrary_a will_n or_o power_n contrary_a thereunto_o as_o also_o sir_n john_n fortescue_n once_o lord_n chancellor_n to_o king_n henry_n the_o vith_o in_o his_o treatise_n in_o praise_n of_o our_o english_a law_n have_v thus_o handsome_o set_v forth_o viz._n that_o the_o king_n be_v make_v or_o elect_v for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o the_o law_n the_o body_n and_o good_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o he_o have_v this_o power_n derive_v from_o the_o people_n so_o that_o he_o can_v long_o govern_v they_o by_o any_o other_o power_n and_o he_o also_o give_v we_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o can_v regular_o dispense_v with_o act_n of_o parliament_n because_o say_v he_o they_o be_v make_v by_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o whole_a realm_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o they_o that_o prove_v inconvenient_a the_o king_n may_v quick_o or_o in_o a_o short_a time_n call_v another_o parliament_n to_o amend_v it_o but_o not_o without_o that_o as_o it_o certain_o will_v if_o the_o king_n have_v a_o absolute_a and_o unlimited_a power_n of_o dispense_v with_o all_o law_n so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o king_n be_v entrust_v with_o his_o prerogative_n by_o law_n that_o be_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n only_o for_o their_o benefit_n and_o preservation_n therefore_o if_o the_o judge_n or_o any_o other_o inferior_a officer_n act_v contrary_a thereunto_o though_o by_o the_o king_n be_v express_a letter_n or_o message_n they_o be_v forswear_v and_o may_v be_v punish_v for_o it_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o the_o king_n whilst_o act_v thus_o by_o his_o subordinate_a officer_n or_o minister_n be_v say_v to_o do_v no_o wrong_n because_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v question_v for_o it_o and_o if_o he_o act_v otherwise_o by_o his_o own_o personal_a power_n or_o command_v it_o be_v not_o as_o king_n of_o england_n but_o as_o a_o private_a person_n

one_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o as_o if_o it_o be_v by_o their_o election_n or_o that_o of_o their_o lawful_a representative_n nor_o can_v the_o first_o conqueror_n mighty_a nimrod_n for_o example_n ever_o conquer_v the_o neighbour_a nation_n by_o the_o sole_a assistance_n of_o his_o own_o child_n and_o servant_n without_o the_o conjunction_n of_o other_o father_n of_o family_n and_o freeman_n who_o it_o be_v most_o likely_a follow_v he_o for_o a_o share_n of_o the_o spoil_n and_o upon_o certain_a condition_n agree_v upon_o between_o they_o for_o the_o like_a we_o find_v of_o all_o other_o conqueror_n in_o ancient_a as_o well_o as_o modern_a history_n f._n but_o pray_v show_v i_o sir_n how_o this_o can_v be_v since_o most_o nation_n have_v be_v conquer_v at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o but_o few_o of_o they_o have_v give_v their_o consent_n as_o i_o know_v of_o either_o in_o a_o whole_a assembly_n of_o all_o that_o nation_n or_o else_o by_o their_o lawful_a representative_n as_o we_o do_v in_o england_n i._o it_o be_v true_a they_o have_v not_o give_v their_o consent_n all_o at_o once_o but_o single_o and_o one_o by_o one_o they_o have_v do_v and_o constant_o do_v it_o every_o day_n in_o town_n and_o country_n that_o pass_v from_o one_o king_n to_o another_o by_o conquest_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o such_o subject_n as_o do_v not_o like_o the_o religion_n or_o government_n of_o the_o conquer_a prince_n or_o commonwealth_n may_v lawful_o retire_v out_o of_o the_o conquer_a city_n or_o country_n and_o carry_v their_o estate_n with_o they_o or_o else_o sell_v their_o land_n and_o carry_v away_o the_o money_n if_o they_o can_v without_o any_o crime_n so_o that_o it_o be_v apparent_a it_o be_v only_o from_o the_o acknowledgement_n or_o recognition_n of_o each_o particular_a person_n who_o stay_v there_o that_o this_o conqueror_n come_v to_o have_v any_o right_n to_o the_o subject_n allegiance_n f._n pray_o how_o be_v this_o consent_n or_o acknowledgement_n give_v since_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n as_o i_o be_o inform_v be_v not_o exact_v in_o all_o place_n of_o the_o world_n where_o conquest_n be_v make_v i._o i_o grant_v it_o but_o where_o they_o be_v not_o so_o impose_v nor_o take_v the_o person_n that_o have_v not_o swear_v to_o this_o new_a government_n can_v never_o be_v oblige_v to_o a_o active_a obedience_n or_o to_o fight_v for_o or_o serve_v the_o conquer_a prince_n against_o perhaps_o their_o former_a lawful_a sovereign_n yet_o i_o think_v thus_o much_o i_o may_v just_o maintain_v that_o whatever_o prince_n be_v he_o a_o conqueror_n or_o usurper_n who_o be_v much_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o subject_n who_o shall_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o administer_v the_o civil_a government_n by_o protect_v the_o conquer_a people_n punish_v malefactor_n and_o do_v equal_a justice_n by_o himself_o or_o his_o judge_n between_o man_n and_o man_n whosoever_o of_o this_o conquer_a people_n will_v continue_v in_o that_o city_n or_o country_n and_o receive_v his_o protection_n and_o enjoy_v all_o the_o other_o right_n of_o other_o subject_n be_v so_o far_o oblige_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o protection_n he_o receive_v as_o to_o yield_v a_o passive_a submission_n to_o all_o the_o law_n that_o such_o a_o conqueror_n shall_v make_v and_o not_o to_o conspire_v against_o or_o disturb_v his_o government_n by_o plot_n or_o rebellion_n but_o indeed_o this_o tacit_n consent_n or_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o conqueror_n authority_n because_o not_o give_v by_o the_o people_n at_o once_o make_v many_o man_n believe_v that_o their_o consent_n be_v not_o at_o all_o necessary_a to_o make_v a_o conqueror_n power_n obligatory_a as_o to_o they_o not_o but_o that_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n be_v of_o great_a use_n in_o any_o kingdom_n or_o commonwealth_n to_o bind_v man_n to_o a_o strict_a observance_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o also_o to_o a_o active_a obedience_n to_o all_o their_o conqueror_n lawful_a command_n even_o to_o venture_v their_o life_n for_o the_o government_n since_o it_o be_v for_o the_o public_a good_a of_o the_o community_n if_o they_o be_v so_o require_v f._n i_o be_o well_o enough_o satisfy_v as_o to_o the_o original_a of_o government_n and_o the_o right_n that_o all_o king_n and_o commonwealth_n have_v to_o their_o subject_n allegiance_n whether_o they_o begin_v at_o first_o by_o the_o express_a consent_n or_o election_n of_o the_o people_n or_o else_o by_o conquest_n and_o their_o subsequent_a

i._o without_o doubt_n neighbour_n from_o the_o very_a institution_n of_o the_o government_n for_o our_o first_o english_a saxon_a king_n be_v make_v so_o by_o election_n of_o the_o people_n in_o their_o great_a council_n or_o parliament_n as_o we_o now_o call_v they_o and_o can_v do_v nothing_o considerable_a either_o as_o to_o peace_n or_o war_n without_o its_o consent_n and_o this_o

be_v certain_a that_o the_o freeman_n of_o england_n have_v always_o from_o beyond_o all_o time_n of_o memory_n enjoy_v the_o same_o fundamental_a right_n and_o privilege_n i_o mean_v in_o substance_n
