may_v see_v that_o this_o have_v no_o kind_n of_o inference_n or_o consequential_a force_n from_o it_o we_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o of_o england_n assemble_v with_o the_o political_a power_n and_o presence_n of_o the_o king_n be_v the_o parliament_n and_o for_o this_o we_o appeal_v to_o all_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n since_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o a_o parliament_n in_o england_n till_o within_o these_o very_a few_o day_n and_o the_o general_a understanding_n of_o the_o word_n still_o to_o the_o law_n common_a and_o municipal_a to_o the_o title_n of_o parliamentary_a act_n and_o statute_n and_o to_o the_o declaration_n and_o constant_a language_n of_o parliament_n themselves_o from_o first_o to_o last_o he_o say_v the_o representative_n of_o the_o people_n mean_v the_o say_a commons_o be_v the_o parliament_n for_o this_o he_o bring_v no_o proof_n in_o the_o world_n from_o the_o application_n or_o use_n of_o the_o word_n by_o any_o though_o he_o can_v but_o know_v that_o word_n signify_v according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o some_o imposer_n all_o his_o medium_n be_v in_o those_o term_n the_o people_n power_n and_o the_o supreme_a power_n whereas_o it_o be_v a_o question_n betwixt_o we_o whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o power_n or_o supremacy_n belong_v to_o the_o people_n and_o if_o that_o be_v grant_v yet_o it_o be_v still_o a_o question_n betwixt_o we_o whether_o the_o people_n and_o the_o supreme_a power_n be_v any_o more_o appertain_v to_o the_o commons_o then_o to_o the_o king_n and_o lord_n i_o can_v assent_v to_o either_o the_o affirmative_a of_o both_o be_v his_o position_n and_o but_o bare_o affirm_v by_o he_o so_o that_o in_o make_v this_o inference_n he_o do_v but_o prove_v one_o of_o his_o principle_n by_o another_o improve_v and_o in_o so_o do_v do_v but_o petere_fw-la principium_fw-la 3._o his_o reason_n of_o this_o consequence_n be_v for_o the_o representative_n be_v the_o

1._o he_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n be_v the_o people_n representative_n which_o i_o think_v can_v proper_o be_v say_v if_o we_o understand_v by_o the_o people_n all_o estate_n member_n or_o party_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o so_o understand_v it_o i_o ask_v how_o can_v he_o after_o his_o own_o sense_n place_v the_o power_n supremacy_n &_o representablenes_n only_o in_o one_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o the_o say_a commons_o be_v choose_v but_o by_o and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o commoner_n in_o distinction_n from_o the_o peer_n and_o can_v be_v not_o intend_v to_o represent_v any_o more_o than_o those_o by_o and_o in_o who_o name_n they_o be_v elect_v and_o therefore_o be_v call_v the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n beside_o the_o peer_n be_v present_a and_o therefore_o can_v be_v represent_v if_o then_o all_o the_o people_n be_v not_o commoner_n nor_o represent_v how_o be_v those_o commons_o true_o and_o complete_o the_o representatives_n of_o the_o people_n 2._o he_o seem_v to_o found_v the_o commons_o power_n and_o that_o in_o a_o degree_n above_o other_o that_o be_v undoubted_a power_n upon_o their_o be_v representative_n of_o the_o people_n whereas_o i_o think_v it_o will_v upon_o scan_v appear_v that_o their_o representativenesse_n be_v not_o the_o rise_n or_o ground_n of_o any_o magistraticall_a power_n in_o they_o 1._o that_o which_o make_v they_o or_o any_o man_n a_o power_n as_o i_o apprehend_v the_o matter_n be_v that_o they_o be_v god_n representative_n and_o that_o which_o ordinary_o make_v they_o so_o be_v that_o they_o be_v choose_v or_o consent_v to_o by_o the_o people_n either_o personal_o or_o in_o the_o original_a constitution_n of_o government_n unto_o the_o administration_n of_o a_o authority_n ordain_v by_o god_n and_o thus_o be_v in_o this_o kingdom_n the_o prince_n the_o peer_n and_o the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n though_o not_o all_o the_o same_o way_n but_o some_o personal_o other_o hereditary_o the_o say_v commons_o have_v indeed_o this_o addition_n but_o it_o be_v not_o of_o magistraticall_a power_n but_o of_o popular_a action_n and_o employment_n that_o they_o be_v the_o commons_o representative_n because_o the_o colective_a commons_o can_v convene_v or_o treat_v which_o representation_n empower_v they_o not_o to_o any_o public_a magistracy_n or_o act_n of_o distributive_a justice_n but_o only_o entrust_v and_o inable_v they_o to_o deed_n of_o commutative_a right_n or_o contract_n on_o the_o commoner_n behalf_n as_o the_o agree_n on_o tax_n force_n or_o other_o requisite_n to_o be_v bear_v in_o a_o equal_a proportion_n and_o which_o be_v due_a as_o far_o as_o proportionable_a from_o the_o people_n to_o the_o public_a magistrate_n and_o service_n 2._o if_o the_o power_n of_o the_o commons_o be_v ground_v on_o their_o representativenes_n of_o the_o people_n than_o it_o be_v necessary_a all_o the_o member_n shall_v be_v present_a to_o make_v they_o a_o representative_a of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n and_o to_o enable_v they_o to_o act_v so_o as_o to_o bind_v the_o whole_a because_o the_o member_n compose_v a_o representative_a not_o so_o as_o that_o every_o one_o tepresent_v the_o whole_a but_o each_o one_o represent_v a_o part_n and_o all_o of_o they_o collective_o represent_v the_o whole_a 3_o he_o place_v the_o dimension_n and_o prerogative_n of_o the_o office_n of_o the_o say_a commons_o in_o their_o representativenes_n of_o the_o people_n where_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o they_o be_v not_o mere_a but_o more_o then_o representative_n of_o the_o people_n they_o that_o be_v mere_o representative_n be_v 1._o to_o act_v what_o they_o who_o they_o represent_v may_v act_v if_o they_o be_v present_a 2_o to_o act_n nothing_o but_o what_o they_o have_v in_o charge_n from_o the_o represent_v but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o latitude_n of_o the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n they_o be_v not_o thus_o tie_v up_o for_o first_o if_o they_o be_v a_o estate_n endue_v with_o civil_a authority_n they_o may_v act_v authoritative_o and_o so_o can_v not_o the_o people_n who_o they_o

have_v in_o charge_n from_o he_o to_o act_v the_o thing_n within_o their_o commission_n whether_o they_o be_v charge_v from_o the_o people_n to_o do_v they_o or_o not_o yea_o though_o the_o people_n shall_v command_v the_o contrary_n if_o they_o be_v no_o more_o than_o representee_n and_o so_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o latter_a rule_n here_o give_v perhaps_o some_o will_v ask_v what_o charge_n or_o
