A89881	Interest will not lie. Or, a view of England's true interest: in reference to the [brace] papist, royalist, Presbyterian, baptised, neuter, Army, Parliament, City of London. In refutation of a treasonable pamphlet, entituled, The interest of England stated. Wherein the author of it pretends to discover a way, how to satisfie all parties before-mentioned, and provide for the publick good, by calling in the son of the late King, &c. Against whom it is here proved, that it is really the interest of every party (except only the papist) to keep him out: and whatever hath been objected by Mr. William Pryn, or other malcontents, in order to the restoring of that family, or against the legality of this Parliament's sitting, is here answer'd by arguments drawn from Mr Baxter's late book called A holy commonwealth, for the satisfaction of them of the Presbyterian way; and from writings of the most learned royalists, to convince those of the royal party.

from_o mr._n baxter_n own_o word_n in_o his_o late_a book_n entitle_v a_o holy_a commonwealth_n and_o i_o suppose_v whatever_o he_o say_v his_o brethren_n will_v approve_v he_o to_o justify_v himself_o for_o his_o find_n with_o the_o parliament_n arm_n against_o those_o of_o the_o king_n declare_v that_o the_o king_n by_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n have_v the_o title_n of_o

so_o p._n 46._o he_o show_v how_o that_o in_o this_o kingdom_n the_o title_n of_o sovereign_n give_v to_o the_o king_n be_v honorary_a and_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v interpret_v contrary_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n which_o allow_v he_o but_o a_o part_n only_o of_o the_o sovereignty_n so_o that_o though_o the_o person_n represent_v the_o people_n in_o parliament_n be_v be_v take_v in_o their_o personal_a condition_n each_o of_o they_o but_o subject_n yet_o in_o respect_n to_o the_o public_a constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n they_o revera_fw-la have_v one_o part_n of_o that_o sovereign_a power_n of_o parliament_n as_o the_o king_n have_v another_o part_n and_o can_v real_o claim_v no_o more_o but_o his_o part_n in_o the_o act_n of_o supremacy_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o mr._n baxter_n in_o page_n 463_o 464_o 465_o 466._o cit_v the_o king_n own_o answer_n to_o the_o nineteen_o proposition_n and_o from_o thence_o infer_v that_o large_a his_o royal_a

be_v so_o divide_v if_o the_o king_n shall_v grow_v insolent_a and_o by_o arm_n seek_v to_o invade_v that_o part_n of_o the_o sovereignty_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o people_n in_o parliament_n he_o may_v by_o arm_n be_v lawful_o oppose_v for_o proof_n of_o this_o mr._n baxter_n because_o he_o will_v now_o be_v courteous_a with_o the_o cavalier_n and_o win_v they_o cit_v the_o judgement_n of_o

one_o out_o of_o grotius_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o repeat_v in_o english_a because_o it_o have_v the_o full_a sense_n of_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v this_o if_o the_o authority_n be_v divide_v betwixt_o

by_o the_o law_n of_o arms._n 3._o the_o three_o position_n be_v that_o a_o king_n carry_v on_o a_o war_n upon_o such_o term_n against_o the_o people_n to_o the_o death_n and_o destruction_n of_o
