of_o the_o three_o estate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o three_o estate_n in_o parliament_n unavoidable_o overthrow_v the_o parlament_n be_v a_o complete_a representative_a but_o in_o 23_o h._n viii_o n._n 33._o as_o mr._n petyt_n observe_v there_o be_v this_o passage_n in_o the_o parlament-roll_n it_o be_v consider_v and_o declare_v by_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o this_o realm_n 61._o now_o

and_o 1_o eliz._n c._n 3._o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o the_o commons_o be_v say_v to_o represent_v in_o parliament_n the_o three_o estate_n of_o the_o realm_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o parliament_n if_o the_o clergy_n be_v a_o estate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o he_o say_v they_o be_v they_o must_v be_v represent_v in_o parliament_n or_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o realm_n can_v be_v there_o represent_v 2._o we_o now_o come_v to_o consider_v the_o weight_n of_o authority_n in_o this_o matter_n for_o which_o i_o shall_v premise_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o whole_a parliament_n assemble_v be_v the_o best_a judge_n which_o be_v the_o three_o estate_n in_o parliament_n and_o their_o authority_n be_v more_o to_o be_v value_v then_o that_o of_o any_o particular_a person_n whether_o lawyer_n or_o other_o 2._o that_o no_o parliament_n can_v give_v better_a testimony_n in_o this_o matter_n than_o those_o which_o have_v assume_v most_o to_o themselves_o for_o if_o there_o be_v three_o estate_n in_o parliament_n and_o the_o bishop_n be_v none_o than_o the_o king_n must_v be_v one_o of_o the_o three_o as_o the_o author_n of_o the_o letter_n insinuate_v throughout_o this_o discourse_n and_o the_o natural_a consequence_n from_o hence_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o co-ordination_a or_o that_o two_o join_v together_o may_v over-rule_v the_o three_o therefore_o in_o all_o reason_n if_o any_o parliament_n will_v have_v make_v the_o king_n one_o of_o the_o three_o estate_n it_o will_v have_v be_v either_o the_o parliament_n 1_o h._n iu._n which_o depose_v one_o king_n and_o set_v up_o another_o or_o that_o 1_o r._n iii_o which_o disinherit_v the_o child_n of_o ed._n iu._n and_o set_v up_o their_o
