will_v be_v loath_a we_o shall_v make_v a_o law_n to_o endanger_v ourselves_o for_o which_o reason_n i_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o way_n to_o evade_v from_o this_o act_n we_o shall_v

transcendent_a and_o boundless_a the_o second_o reason_n deliver_v by_o their_o lordship_n be_v that_o the_o king_n be_v sovereign_a that_o as_o he_o be_v sovereign_a he_o have_v power_n and_o that_o that_o sovereign_a power_n be_v to_o leave_v for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v leave_v it_o so_o as_o not_o to_o mention_v it_o but_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v express_v to_o be_v leave_v in_o this_o

reason_n give_v from_o this_o addition_n be_v that_o in_o the_o statute_n articuli_fw-la super_fw-la chartas_n there_o be_v a_o save_n of_o the_o right_n and_o seignory_n of_o the_o crown_n to_o

this_o only_a and_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n we_o shall_v follow_v one_o ill_a and_o not_o 30_o good_a precedent_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o that_o save_v produce_v ill_a effect_n that_o be_v well_o know_v that_o save_v be_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o conclusion_n of_o which_o act_n be_v that_o in_o all_o those_o case_n the_o king_n do_v will_n and_o all_o those_o that_o be_v at_o the_o make_n of_o that_o ordinance_n do_v intend_v that_o the_o right_n and_o seignory_n of_o the_o crown_n shall_v be_v save_v by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o save_n be_v not_o in_o the_o

to_o his_o people_n divers_a right_n belong_v to_o his_o prerogative_n as_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n he_o grant_v that_o the_o people_n may_v choose_v three_o man_n which_o may_v have_v power_n to_o hear_v and_o determine_v complaint_n make_v against_o those_o that_o offend_v in_o any_o point_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la though_o they_o be_v the_o king_n officer_n and_o to_o fine_a and_o

the_o add_v of_o that_o sovereign_n by_o the_o king_n council_n but_o in_o this_o petition_n we_o desire_v nothing_o of_o the_o king_n prerogative_n but_o pray_v the_o enjoy_n of_o our_o proper_a

the_o petition_n the_o 4._o reason_n give_v by_o their_o lordship_n be_v that_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o our_o speaker_n we_o have_v this_o parliament_n declare_v that_o it_o be_v far_o from_o our_o intention_n to_o encroach_v upon_o his_o majesty_n prerogative_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o can_v not_o prejudice_v we_o to_o mention_v the_o same_o resolution_n in_o a_o addition_n to_o this_o petition_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o that_o declaration_n be_v a_o general_a answer_n to_o a_o message_n from_o his_o majesty_n to_o we_o by_o which_o his_o majesty_n express_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v his_o prerogative_n straighten_v by_o any_o new_a explanation_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la or_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o statute_n and_o therefore_o that_o expression_n of_o our_o speaker_n be_v then_o proper_a to_o make_v it_o have_v reference_n to_o this_o petition_n there_o be_v nothing_o therein_o contain_v but_o particular_a right_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o nothing_o at_o all_o concern_v his_o majesty_n prerogative_n second_o that_o answer_n be_v to_o give_v his_o majectie_a satisfaction_n of_o all_o our_o proceed_n in_o general_a and_o no_o man_n can_v assign_v any_o particular_a in_o which_o we_o have_v break_v it_o and_o this_o petition_n justify_v itself_o that_o in_o it_o we_o have_v not_o offend_v against_o the_o protestation_n and_o i_o know_v
