this_o general_a question_n be_v state_v depend_v upon_o these_o two_o quaeres_fw-la 1._o whether_o the_o king_n by_o his_o prerogative_n have_v the_o sole_a and_o only_a power_n of_o order_v and_o

time_n of_o imminent_a danger_n the_o king_n refuse_v to_o settle_v the_o militia_n for_o the_o defence_n and_o security_n of_o his_o people_n may_v by_o a_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n without_o

the_o king_n by_o his_o prerogative_n warrantable_a by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n perform_v the_o trust_n repose_v in_o he_o have_v the_o only_a power_n of_o dispose_n of_o the_o militia_n of_o

well_o know_v all_o prosecution_n by_o way_n of_o indictment_n against_o any_o man_n for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o life_n of_o another_o be_v at_o the_o suit_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o

inseparable_a trust_n that_o the_o king_n can_v grant_v this_o over_o to_o another_o as_o it_o be_v resolve_v in_o 20._o h._n 7._o where_o it_o be_v say_v a._n ●●_o h._n 7._o foe_n 8._o a._n that_o a_o grant_n of_o power_n to_o pardon_v felon_n by_o the_o king_n to_o another_o be_v not_o good_a for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o prerogative_n annex_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o can_v be_v sever_v but_o here_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o no_o prerogative_n of_o the_o king_n can_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o crown_n for_o some_o may_v as_o i_o shall_v afterward_o show_v and_o that_o by_o grant_n of_o the_o king_n too_o but_o that_o this_o among_o other_o be_v such_o a_o prerogative_n as_o can_v be_v sever_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v for_o that_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n be_v of_o so_o high_a and_o puissant_a nature_n that_o none_o less_o than_o god_n or_o the_o king_n aught_o to_o have_v interest_n and_o power_n in_o and_o though_o the_o commonwealth_n loose_v a_o member_n it_o be_v the_o king_n only_o who_o lose_v a_o subject_a and_o therefore_o the_o kill_n of_o a_o man_n be_v say_v in_o the_o indictment_n to_o be_v against_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n and_o not_o against_o the_o commonwealth_n for_o though_o mediate_o it_o be_v a_o offence_n against_o the_o commonwealth_n too_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o more_o near_o and_o immediate_a offence_n against_o the_o king_n for_o that_o he_o be_v entrust_v with_o the_o life_n of_o his_o subject_n now_o as_o the_o king_n be_v bind_v to_o defend_v his_o subject_n by_o the_o law_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o defend_v and_o protect_v they_o by_o the_o sword_n if_o occasion_n be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o from_o all_o danger_n both_o of_o foreign_a and_o domestic_a enemy_n and_o therefore_o as_o there_o be_v a_o leigeance_n that_o be_v a_o faithful_a and_o true_a obedience_n of_o the_o subject_a due_a to_o his_o sovereign_n as_o it_o be_v
