A89520	An argument or, debate in law: of the great question concerning the militia; as it is now settled by ordinance of both the Houses of Parliament. By which, it is endeavoured, to prove the legalitie of it, and to make it warrantable by the fundamentall laws of the land. In which, answer is also given to all objections that do arise, either directly, or collaterally concerning the same. All which is referred to the judicious reader. by J.M. C.L.	Marsh, John, 1612-1657.; Milton, John, 1608-1674, attributed name.	1642 (1642)	Wing M575; Thomason E119_13; ESTC R18112	46,929	48

that_o they_o be_v not_o make_v by_o one_o or_o a_o hundred_o only_a of_o sage_a judicious_a man_n but_o by_o more_o than_o three_o hundred_o of_o choose_a man_n by_o such_o a_o number_n as_o in_o time_n past_a the_o senate_n of_o rome_n be_v use_v to_o be_v rule_v object_n but_o here_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o this_o ordinance_n be_v not_o settle_v by_o parliament_n for_o that_o the_o king_n and_o many_o of_o his_o noble_n be_v not_o there_o nor_o never_o consent_v to_o it_o and_o therefore_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o esteem_v or_o account_n some_o few_o scismaticall_a and_o factious_a person_n who_o seek_v their_o own_o end_n and_o not_o the_o common_a good_a to_o be_v the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o you_o mistake_v in_o give_v of_o they_o the_o style_n of_o the_o parliament_n answ_n a_o strange_a unheard_a of_o and_o illegal_a objection_n a_o pretty_a trick_n and_o wild_a to_o mask_v illegal_a slander_n under_o illegal_a objection_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o hear_v such_o strange_a and_o as_o unparalleled_a as_o unwarrantable_a invective_n against_o the_o parliament_n which_o be_v publish_v in_o the_o king_n name_n and_o under_o his_o protection_n and_o patronage_n while_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o king_n who_o distance_n of_o place_n or_o affection_n can_v divide_v from_o his_o parliament_n as_o i_o shall_v afterward_o show_v suffer_v in_o those_o very_a obloquy_n and_o dishonourable_a detraction_n which_o be_v coin_a for_o his_o honourable_a assembly_n of_o parliament_n for_o as_o all_o our_o book_n agree_v the_o parliament_n be_v as_o one_o body_n and_o the_o chief_a or_o head_n of_o this_o body_n be_v the_o king_n and_o with_o this_o agree_v dyer_n foe_n 60._o a._n who_o say_v 2._o ●yer_n foe_n 60._o 2._o that_o the_o estate_n of_o parliament_n consist_v of_o three_o part_n viz._n of_o the_o king_n as_o the_o chief_a head_n and_o of_o the_o lord_n the_o chief_a and_o principal_a member_n of_o the_o body_n and_o of_o the_o commons_o knight_n citizens_z and_o burgess_n the_o inferior_a member_n and_o these_o make_v the_o body_n of_o the_o parliament_n now_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o that_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o make_v but_o one_o body_n and_o that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o head_n of_o this_o body_n as_o in_o truth_n the_o law_n be_v than_o it_o will_v thus_o in_o reason_n follow_v that_o no_o more_o than_o you_o can_v divide_v the_o head_n from_o the_o natural_a body_n and_o yet_o preserve_v the_o body_n alive_a can_v you_o divide_v the_o king_n from_o the_o parliament_n and_o yet_o have_v the_o parliament_n continue_v as_o in_o truth_n it_o do_v and_o i_o hope_v that_o there_o be_v none_o so_o void_a of_o reason_n as_o to_o think_v that_o the_o king_n divide_v of_o himself_o from_o his_o parliament_n for_o the_o case_n be_v utter_o mistake_v to_o say_v that_o the_o parliament_n sever_v the_o king_n from_o they_o shall_v destroy_v his_o parliament_n though_o i_o suppose_v that_o many_o who_o dare_v not_o bring_v their_o action_n to_o the_o testae_fw-la will_v have_v it_o so_o now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o unhappy_a division_n the_o parliament_n do_v virtual_o and_o actual_o continue_v which_o god_n defend_v it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o for_o then_o parliament_n and_o no_o parliament_n will_v be_v all_o one_o then_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o king_n who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o this_o great_a body_n be_v not_o divide_v in_o law_n though_o he_o be_v in_o distance_n for_o if_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o body_n will_v be_v destroy_v for_o that_o a_o body_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o can_v subsist_v without_o a_o head_n and_o it_o must_v likewise_o follow_v that_o they_o usurp_v no_o honour_n or_o power_n to_o themselves_o more_o than_o by_o the_o law_n be_v due_a to_o style_v themselves_o the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o imputation_n or_o dishonourable_a invective_n thing_n too_o common_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o many_o who_o have_v not_o common_a reason_n much_o less_o law_n to_o discover_v a_o truth_n be_v impose_v and_o cast_v upon_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n reflect_v upon_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n and_o be_v a_o great_a stain_n and_o blemish_n to_o it_o then_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o that_o the_o parliament_n in_o judgement_n of_o law_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n and_o that_o no_o dishonourable_a thing_n ought_v to_o be_v imagine_v of_o they_o certain_o they_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a judge_n of_o this_o imminent_a danger_n but_o to_o this_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o the_o king_n likewise_o in_o judgement_n of_o law_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n and_o therefore_o he_o notwithstanding_o this_o reason_n may_v be_v as_o proper_a a_o judge_n of_o the_o imminent_a danger_n as_o any_o one_o and_o upon_o this_o ground_n his_o judgement_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v receive_v then_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o yea_o of_o the_o parliament_n itself_o &_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o imminent_a danger_n what_o then_o mean_v this_o great_a contention_n about_o the_o militia_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a the_o rule_n of_o law_n likewise_o be_v that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v for_o that_o it_o be_v presume_v that_o what_o the_o king_n do_v he_o do_v upon_o the_o advice_n &_o seducement_n of_o evil_a counsellor_n who_o with_o a_o spetious_a show_n pretend_v nothing_o more_o than_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n whereas_o in_o truth_n they_o intend_v nothing_o less_o and_o have_v it_o not_o be_v frequent_a for_o king_n seduce_v by_o wicked_a and_o malignant_a counsellor_n to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o themselves_o and_o a_o great_a gravamen_fw-la and_o prejudice_n to_o the_o public_a and_o if_o so_o my_o conclusion_n be_v that_o i_o will_v as_o willing_a a_o man_n shall_v do_v i_o injury_n upon_o his_o own_o principle_n as_o by_o the_o advice_n of_o other_o for_o though_o happy_o the_o wrong_n may_v not_o be_v so_o great_a as_o to_o himself_o yet_o the_o damage_n be_v all_o one_o to_o i_o but_o now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n who_o can_v tell_v or_o what_o story_n be_v able_a to_o relate_v that_o ever_o a_o parliament_n do_v do_v that_o thing_n that_o be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n why_o then_o if_o this_o position_n hold_v true_a that_o king_n seduce_v may_v injure_v the_o commonwealth_n but_o that_o parliament_n can_v i_o conclude_v notwithstanding_o this_o objection_n that_o the_o parliament_n for_o this_o reason_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a judge_n of_o this_o imminent_a danger_n again_o they_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a judge_n of_o a_o imminent_a danger_n who_o in_o probability_n may_v have_v the_o best_a cognisance_n and_o information_n of_o it_o but_o the_o parliament_n which_o be_v the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o whole_a realm_n and_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o the_o kingdom_n must_v of_o necessity_n have_v the_o best_a cognisance_n and_o information_n of_o any_o imminent_a and_o approach_a danger_n ergo_fw-la they_o be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o competent_a judge_n of_o it_o last_o of_o all_o the_o parliament_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a judge_n of_o a_o imminent_a danger_n for_o that_o they_o be_v those_o who_o the_o commonwealth_n have_v entrust_v with_o its_o future_a happiness_n they_o be_v our_o judge_n those_o who_o judgement_n we_o have_v bind_v ourselves_o by_o our_o own_o free_a election_n to_o stand_v to_o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v now_o recede_v from_o it_o or_o see_v with_o other_o eye_n than_o they_o see_v if_o they_o say_v that_o they_o see_v a_o imminent_a and_o approach_a danger_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n and_o if_o they_o say_v that_o the_o militia_n be_v well_o and_o legal_o settle_v we_o can_v nor_o ought_v not_o to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n for_o that_o our_o judgement_n be_v bind_v up_o in_o and_o supersede_v by_o they_o but_o to_o this_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o this_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o implicit_a faith_n or_o if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v a_o kind_n of_o heresy_n in_o law_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v tide_v to_o subscribe_v to_o other_o man_n judgement_n and_o to_o believe_v that_o whatsoever_o they_o do_v be_v lawful_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v short_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o a_o subscription_n of_o compulsion_n and_o a_o subscription_n of_o consent_n for_o volenti_fw-la non_fw-la fit_a injuria_fw-la that_o be_v he_o that_o consent_v to_o the_o do_v of_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o injure_v by_o the_o thing_n do_v again_o the_o parliament_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o pin_n our_o faith_n upon_o their_o judgement_n to_o believe_v
