case_n you_o only_o return_v a_o discovery_n of_o three_o principle_n which_o you_o affirm_v i_o take_v for_o grant_v though_o they_o be_v deny_v by_o my_o adversary_n 1._o that_o the_o long_a parliament_n be_v dissolve_v 2._o that_o the_o covenant_n be_v only_o private_a and_o personal_a 3._o that_o each_o single_a person_n be_v conclude_v by_o my_o subsequent_a argument_n these_o you_o call_v ungranted_a principle_n but_o if_o they_o may_v not_o be_v grant_v though_o they_o be_v principle_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v that_o they_o may_v be_v prove_v though_o i_o hope_v very_o few_o of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n need_v satisfaction_n in_o such_o point_n as_o these_o sect_n 1._o of_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o long_a parliament_n 1._o touch_v the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o long_a parliament_n i_o can_v not_o dream_v that_o so_o ingenuous_a person_n have_v any_o scruple_n i_o will_v fain_o hope_v that_o you_o want_v a_o refuge_n when_o i_o find_v you_o in_o so_o bad_a a_o sanctuary_n 2._o yet_o when_o i_o read_v your_o word_n so_o wary_o condition_v in_o this_o great_a particular_a i_o find_v some_o small_a encouragement_n to_o think_v that_o though_o you_o now_o stumble_v at_o this_o stone_n if_o every_o other_o stone_n be_v remove_v you_o will_v stumble_v over_o it_o you_o say_v it_o have_v be_v say_v you_o dare_v not_o say_v it_o and_o in_o obedience_n to_o present_a law_n you_o be_v submissive_o silent_a 3._o be_v you_o indeed_o obedient_a to_o what_o to_o the_o present_a law_n who_o make_v they_o the_o parliament_n how_o come_v this_o to_o be_v a_o parliament_n if_o the_o long_a parliament_n be_v not_o dissolve_v 4._o if_o the_o long_a parliament_n be_v yet_o in_o be_v the_o present_n be_v none_o their_o law_n be_v none_o your_o obedience_n be_v none_o if_o you_o acknowledge_v the_o present_a law_n you_o acknowledge_v the_o present_a parliament_n and_o thereby_o you_o be_v over_o the_o stone_n of_o stumble_v before_o you_o be_v aware_a for_o you_o acknowledge_v the_o long_a parliament_n dissolve_v 5._o now_o there_o be_v but_o two_o ungranted_a principle_n for_o one_o you_o have_v grant_v upon_o a_o better_a argument_n than_o i_o have_v think_v of_o your_o own_o obedience_n to_o the_o present_a law_n 6._o true_o i_o take_v you_o to_o be_v so_o ingenuous_a before_o hand_n and_o therefore_o i_o presume_v to_o take_v this_o for_o grant_v and_o think_v i_o may_v do_v it_o without_o offence_n for_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o ground_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o present_a law_n but_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o peace_n our_o liberty_n our_o pardon_n our_o life_n and_o indeed_o of_o all_o we_o be_v worth_a in_o this_o world_n and_o such_o a_o stone_n not_o of_o stumble_v but_o of_o the_o comer_n that_o it_o be_v hardly_o safe_a to_o touch_v it_o though_o with_o a_o intent_n to_o fasten_v it_o but_o bless_a be_v god_n it_o be_v fast_o enough_o already_o in_o our_o constitution_n and_o i_o hope_v not_o much_o loosen_a in_o your_o opinion_n 7._o yet_o if_o you_o be_v in_o doubt_n of_o what_o disease_n that_o great_a body_n die_v i_o refer_v you_o to_o judge_n jenkins_n and_o mr._n prin_fw-mi who_o though_o in_o other_o thing_n they_o differ_v too_o much_o agree_v very_o well_o in_o this_o great_a point_n 8._o indeed_o the_o name_n parliament_n which_o signify_v to_o consult_v and_o treat_v together_o with_o the_o writ_n whereby_o the_o two_o house_n be_v assemble_v be_v a_o full_a demonstration_n of_o its_o departure_n or_o dissolution_n long_o ago_o they_o be_v thereby_o call_v to_o

a_o incapacity_n of_o treat_v with_o they_o however_o at_o his_o death_n they_o die_v on_o course_n 10._o the_o king_n die_v with_o who_o they_o be_v to_o treat_v and_o for_o which_o end_n they_o have_v their_o be_v the_o end_n of_o their_o assemble_v and_o consequent_o of_o their_o be_v be_v go_v with_o he_o and_o they_o be_v no_o long_o a_o parliament_n a_o parliament_n be_v a_o relative_n term_n the_o relate_v and_o correlate_n die_v together_o therefore_o the_o king_n in_o our_o law_n be_v principium_fw-la caput_fw-la &_o finis_fw-la parliamenti_fw-la 11._o it_o may_v be_v say_v the_o act_n secure_v they_o against_o the_o king_n death_n 12._o it_o be_v plain_o otherwise_o indeed_o it_o secure_v themselves_o from_o any_o violence_n to_o be_v do_v to_o that_o end_n by_o the_o king_n himself_o there_o be_v no_o such_o clause_n in_o the_o act_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v capable_a of_o dissolve_v any_o other_o way_n much_o less_o in_o particular_a by_o the_o king_n death_n no_o security_n to_o save_v the_o body_n when_o the_o head_n be_v off_o 13._o but_o a_o parliament_n may_v be_v dissolve_v or_o dissolve_v die_v or_o be_v kill_v the_o act_n secure_v they_o from_o be_v dissolve_v by_o the_o king_n power_n without_o their_o consent_n not_o against_o the_o law_n of_o mortality_n or_o their_o dissolve_v on_o course_n at_o his_o decease_n 14._o this_o be_v very_o

shall_v not_o dissolve_v they_o by_o violence_n that_o be_v without_o their_o own_o consent_n 16._o it_o be_v as_o frivolous_a to_o mention_v that_o the_o king_n never_o die_v in_o this_o respect_n for_o 〈◊〉_d be_v evident_a that_o as_o the_o king_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o parliament_n the_o relate_v &_o reason_n of_o a_o particular_a parliament_n so_o he_o do_v die_v for_o as_o be_v say_v
