special_a privilege_n from_o the_o king_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o consider_v to_o capacitate_v they_o to_o sit_v but_o the_o force_n and_o energy_n of_o that_o privilege_n without_o respect_n either_o to_o what_o land_n they_o possess_v or_o what_o number_n of_o people_n they_o represent_v and_o thus_o the_o nobility_n and_o bishop_n sit_v there_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o king_n creation_n and_o the_o king_n may_v create_v a_o hundred_o nobleman_n that_o morning_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v to_o sit_v though_o none_o of_o all_o the_o hundred_o have_v not_o one_o foot_n of_o land_n in_o scotland_n and_o though_o the_o baron_n must_v have_v some_o land_n else_o they_o can_v represent_v any_o shire_n yet_o though_o a_o gentleman_n have_v 5000._o pound_n sterling_a a_o year_n he_o

who_o send_v they_o be_v not_o consider_v in_o that_o commission_n but_o the_o power_n only_o which_o the_o king_n give_v they_o to_o send_v for_o though_o a_o town_n have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o

royal_a from_o which_o i_o evince_n two_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o parliament_n be_v the_o king_n council_n in_o which_o he_o may_v call_v any_o he_o please_v and_o not_o as_o the_o people_n representative_n only_o since_o there_o be_v great_a multitude_n in_o the_o nation_n represent_v by_o none_o there_o for_o though_o they_o represent_v their_o constituent_n in_o parliament_n yet_o the_o power_n of_o send_v representative_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o king_n original_o and_o flow_v not_o from_o any_o proper_a right_n inherent_a in_o those_o who_o representative_n they_o be_v 2._o that_o judicature_n can_v have_v a_o co-ordinat_a power_n with_o the_o king_n which_o he_o need_v not_o call_v except_o he_o please_v and_o which_o he_o can_v dissolve_v when_o he_o please_v and_o in_o which_o when_o they_o be_v meet_v he_o have_v a_o negative_a voice_n which_o can_v stop_v all_o their_o proposal_n and_o design_n for_o if_o they_o be_v co-ordinat_a with_o the_o king_n then_o par_fw-fr in_o parem_fw-la non_fw-la habet_fw-la imperium_fw-la and_o it_o be_v against_o common_a sense_n to_o think_v that_o these_o two_o can_v be_v equal_a when_o the_o power_n of_o the_o one_o flow_v from_o the_o other_o by_o which_o be_v likewise_o clear_a that_o the_o great_a principle_n lay_v down_o by_o buchannan_n viz._n that_o the_o king_n be_v singulis_n major_a universis_fw-la minor_n great_a than_o any_o one_o but_o less_o than_o the_o collective_a body_n of_o the_o parliament_n take_v together_o be_v absolute_o false_a because_o he_o have_v a_o negative_a voice_n over_o that_o collective_a body_n and_o as_o they_o can_v meet_v without_o he_o so_o he_o can_v dissolve_v they_o when_o he_o please_v and_o i_o confess_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o unintelligible_a how_o they_o can_v be_v great_a than_o the_o king_n by_o virtue_n of_o a_o power_n which_o they_o derive_v from_o the_o king_n 4._o the_o parliament_n be_v call_v by_o the_o king_n council_n as_o be_v clear_a

what_o baron_n shall_v come_v to_o the_o parliament_n be_v most_o clear_a by_o the_o 75._o act_n par._n 14._o ja._n 2._o whereby_o it_o be_v declare_v no_o freeholder_n under_o the_o sum_n of_o 20._o

it_o seem_v a_o wonder_n to_o i_o how_o it_o can_v have_v enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o sober_a man_n to_o think_v that_o any_o man_n baron_n court_n but_o much_o less_o the_o king_n baron_n

lay_v he_o aside_o all_o which_o assertion_n be_v equal_o impious_a and_o illegal_a 6._o when_o the_o king_n resolve_v to_o lessen_v any_o way_n his_o own_o power_n this_o be_v not_o do_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o three_o estate_n as_o certain_o it_o will_v be_v if_o they_o have_v the_o power_n to_o lessen_v his_o authority_n but_o the_o king_n do_v the_o same_o from_o his_o own_o

supreme_a power_n the_o former_a be_v his_o positive_a doctrine_n and_o this_o but_o a_o supervenient_a caution_n and_o they_o do_v very_o well_o consist_v for_o though_o calvin_n be_v very_o clear_a that_o king_n can_v be_v resist_v yet_o he_o think_v that_o this_o be_v only_o to_o be_v mean_v of_o those_o king_n who_o have_v no_o superior_n to_o check_v they_o by_o law_n as_o the_o king_n of_o

only_o titular_a king_n or_o of_o such_o monarch_n as_o have_v only_o a_o coordinate_a power_n with_o the_o state_n of_o their_o own_o kingdom_n and_o even_o in_o these_o case_n he_o do_v not_o positive_o assert_v that_o these_o monarch_n may_v be_v resist_v but_o do_v only_o doubt_v whether_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o superior_a or_o coordinate_a magistrate_n represent_v the_o people_n they_o may_v not_o restrain_v the_o rage_n and_o licentiousness_n of_o their_o king_n but_o that_o caution_n do_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v the_o ius_n regni_fw-la apud_fw-la scotos_fw-gr because_o this_o can_v be_v say_v of_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n since_o the_o state_n of_o parliament_n be_v only_o call_v by_o the_o king_n and_o derive_v their_o authority_n from_o he_o and_o the_o

according_a to_o calvin_n doctrine_n neither_o his_o people_n nor_o any_o of_o their_o representatives_n can_v just_o oppose_v and_o much_o less_o punish_v he_o i_o know_v that_o grotius_n be_v by_o
