in_o the_o first_o paragraph_n a_o apology_n for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o nation_n upon_o a_o last_a foundation_n which_o in_o the_o next_o paragraph_n he_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o lie_v in_o

act_n of_o parliament_n be_v yet_o in_o force_n to_o evidence_n which_o he_o bring_v in_o three_o argument_n 1._o the_o title_n or_o end_n of_o the_o act_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v a_o act_n to_o prevent_v inconvenience_n that_o may_v happen_v by_o the_o untimely_a adjourn_v prorogue_a or_o dissolve_v this_o present_a parliament_n viz._n want_v of_o credit_n to_o raise_v money_n to_o

parliament_n the_o three_o be_v that_o all_o and_o every_o thing_n and_o thing_n whatsoever_o do_v or_o to_o be_v do_v for_o adjourn_v prorogue_a or_o dissolve_v this_o present_a parliament_n contrary_a to_o this_o act_n shall_v be_v utter_o void_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n and_o therefore_o this_o parliament_n want_v these_o formality_n be_v yet_o in_o be_v and_o no_o parliament_n can_v be_v hereafter_o convene_v before_o this_o be_v thus_o formal_o dissolve_v or_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v two_o parliament_n may_v be_v existent_a at_o the_o same_o time_n which_o he_o believe_v to_o be_v so_o absurd_a as_o none_o will_v aver_v there_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o mr._n prin_fw-mi and_o against_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o convention_n which_o his_o majesty_n his_o own_a a_o parliament_n what_o the_o author_n disposition_n be_v to_o the_o peace_n of_o this_o nation_n upon_o a_o right_a foundation_n i_o know_v not_o what_o peace_n he_o hope_v to_o find_v by_o revive_v the_o long_a parliament_n few_o can_v tell_v but_o none_o have_v find_v that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o long_a parliament_n be_v not_o dissolve_v or_o revive_v from_o any_o of_o his_o three_o argument_n we_o will_v show_v for_o first_o his_o first_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o end_n or_o title_n of_o the_o act_n to_o prevent_v the_o inconvenience_n which_o may_v arise_v by_o the_o untimely_a prorogue_a adjourn_v or_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n for_o want_v of_o money_n to_o maintain_v his_o majesty_n army_n and_o people_n in_o the_o north_n if_o the_o force_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o long_a parliament_n be_v draw_v from_o hence_o then_o must_v the_o parliament_n be_v dissolve_v or_o at_o least_o dissolvable_a without_o act_n of_o parliament_n upon_o the_o payment_n of_o his_o majesty_n army_n and_o people_n in_o the_o north_n for_o cessante_fw-la ratione_fw-la legis_fw-la cessat_fw-la lex_fw-la but_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v irrational_a and_o most_o absurd_a to_o aver_v that_o any_o law_n can_v create_v a_o contrary_a or_o different_a obligation_n from_o the_o first_o reason_n and_o end_n of_o it_o viz._n because_o they_o may_v be_v a_o parliament_n until_o they_o have_v relieve_v his_o majesty_n army_n and_o people_n in_o the_o north_n therefore_o they_o may_v destroy_v his_o majesty_n army_n and_o people_n in_o the_o north._n the_o second_o be_v that_o this_o present_a parliament_n shall_v not_o be_v dissolve_v but_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n if_o the_o act_n have_v say_v the_o parliament_n shall_v not_o be_v legal_o dissolve_v but_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n than_o this_o author_n may_v have_v dispute_v against_o the_o legality_n of_o that_o act_n which_o shall_v otherwise_o have_v dissolve_v it_o but_o if_o this_o author_n shall_v affirm_v this_o parliament_n to_o be_v in_o be_v because_o not_o legal_o dissolve_v be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v no_o man_n be_v kill_v or_o oppress_v because_o subject_n ought_v to_o be_v preserve_v in_o their_o life_n and_o estate_n by_o law_n and_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o this_o parliament_n may_v as_o well_o have_v make_v a_o act_n that_o none_o of_o their_o member_n shall_v die_v but_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v dissolve_v but_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o three_o be_v that_o all_o and_o every_o thing_n or_o thing_n whatsoever_o do_v or_o to_o be_v do_v for_o the_o adjourn_v prorogue_a or_o dissolve_v of_o this_o present_a parliament_n contrary_a to_o this_o act_n shall_v be_v utter_o void_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n such_o be_v the_o omnipotency_n of_o these_o man_n in_o their_o beginning_n that_o they_o believe_v all_o thing_n how_o impossible_a soever_o to_o be_v very_o sensible_a to_o establish_v their_o greatness_n and_o reign_n for_o thing_n simple_o impossible_a be_v impossible_a even_o to_o god_n himself_o as_o that_o contradiction_n shall_v be_v true_a or_o that_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v and_o not_o be_v at_o the_o same_o instant_n yet_o such_o be_v the_o omnipotency_n of_o these_o member_n that_o contradictory_n and_o impossible_a thing_n must_v not_o be_v repugnant_a but_o subsist_v in_o order_n to_o their_o perpetuity_n and_o greatness_n for_o if_o thing_n be_v do_v they_o must_v necessary_o be_v do_v and_o so_o can_v be_v void_a and_o of_o non-effect_n whatsoever_o they_o may_v be_v in_o law_n i_o pray_v reader_n take_v notice_n that_o the_o author_n of_o this_o pamphlet_n not_o only_o insist_o upon_o impossible_a thing_n to_o prove_v the_o continuance_n of_o the_o parliament_n but_o his_o very_a title_n be_v contradictory_n and_o absurd_a

which_o revive_v the_o long_a parliament_n and_o yet_o affirm_v it_o not_o dissolve_v whereas_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v dissolve_v it_o can_v never_o be_v revive_v and_o a_o man_n may_v as_o well_o dispute_v thus_o as_o our_o author_n do_v no_o man_n ought_v to_o do_v violence_n upon_o or_o kill_v himself_o but_o by_o his_o own_o consent_n and_o that_o if_o a_o man_n do_v violate_v or_o kill_v himself_o or_o be_v violate_v or_o kill_v by_o another_o contrary_a hereunto_o such_o force_n shall_v be_v utter_o void_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n therefore_o every_o man_n shall_v live_v though_o he_o kill_v himself_o or_o be_v kill_v by_o another_o which_o i_o think_v no_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n will_v affirm_v the_o long_a parliament_n dissolve_v and_o dead_a &_o never_o to_o be_v revive_v it_o be_v not_o worth_a upon_o so_o mean_v a_o occasion_n to_o declare_v the_o principle_n of_o power_n from_o whence_o humane_a law_n be_v derive_v and_o what_o create_v they_o obligation_n or_o whether_o effect_n or_o accident_n of_o power_n can_v create_v any_o alteration_n or_o obligation_n upon_o that_o power_n as_o if_o law_n make_v be_v derogatory_n to_o the_o power_n that_o make_v they_o for_o example_n if_o by_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o crown_n of_o england_n be_v alien_v against_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n or_o that_o it_o shall_v hold_v of_o the_o pope_n or_o
