A76829	Resolved upon the question· Or A question resolved concerning the right which the King hath to Hull, or any other fort or place of strength for the defence of the kingdome. Wherein is likewise proved, that neither the setling of the militia as tis done by the Parliament, nor the keeping of Hull by Sir Iohn Hotham, nor any other act that the Parliament have yet done is illegall, but necessary, just, and according to that power which the law hath given them.

i_o shall_v not_o raise_v argument_n to_o prove_v that_o ligeance_n be_v due_a to_o the_o king_n in_o his_o natural_a capacity_n as_o it_o be_v adiugd_v in_o 6._o jacobi_fw-la neither_o shall_v i_o

to_o deny_v the_o last_o consequence_n and_o say_v that_o though_o treason_n commit_v against_o the_o king_n by_o keep_v of_o those_o sort_n from_o he_o be_v treason_n against_o his_o natural_a
