no_o imperial_a law_n beyond_o what_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o political_a constitution_n and_o can_v produce_v good_a authority_n to_o prove_v that_o a_o king_n who_o renounce_v that_o power_n which_o

it_o pass_v for_o law_n for_o you_o well_o know_v unless_o they_o do_v you_o have_v no_o parliament_n which_o can_v act_n now_o but_o i_o need_v not_o urge_v that_o here_o since_o this_o act_n of_o your_o present_a parliament_n be_v unintelligible_a and_o signify_v nothing_o for_o to_o enact_v that_o they_o be_v law_n be_v neither_o good_a english_a nor_o good_a sense_n w._n you_o may_v have_v

declare_v as_o a_o parliament_n that_o they_o be_v or_o can_v they_o declare_v this_o as_o a_o parliament_n without_o enact_v t._n if_o it_o be_v good_a sense_n to_o enact_v for_o the_o time_n past_a it_o must_v be_v the_o declare_v of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v good_a which_o pass_v in_o a_o parliament_n not_o call_v by_o writ_n or_o due_a form_n of_o law_n which_o be_v destructive_a of_o the_o

be_o glad_a you_o own_o the_o constitution_n of_o this_o monarchy_n to_o be_v legal_a and_o i_o be_o sure_a no_o man_n who_o have_v look_v into_o its_o ancient_a constitution_n can_v think_v there_o be_v any_o weight_n in_o the_o objection_n such_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o constitution_n provide_v for_o the_o meeting_n of_o the_o great_a council_n at_o state_v time_n as_o appear_v by_o what_o i_o before_o observe_v of_o the_o folemote_n and_o if_o writ_n of_o summons_n be_v then_o in_o use_n it_o be_v only_o upon_o emergency_n happen_v within_o the_o time_n fix_v by_o the_o constitution_n which_o have_v likewise_o warrant_v the_o assembly_n and_o act_n of_o the_o people_n in_o many_o vacancy_n of_o the_o throne_n but_o it_o be_v very_o pleasant_a that_o you_o shall_v urge_v the_o consequence_n here_o as_o dangerous_a to_o the_o government_n under_o their_o present_a majesty_n when_o you_o strike_v at_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o it_o and_o beside_o will_v have_v it_o fail_v for_o want_v of_o necessary_a supply_n from_o the_o people_n for_o according_a to_o you_o neither_o the_o last_o parliament_n nor_o this_o nor_o any_o which_o can_v be_v call_v by_o their_o present_a majesty_n can_v be_v of_o any_o authority_n t._n yes_o they_o may_v when_o king_n james_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o wales_n be_v dead_a but_o till_o then_o there_o can_v be_v no_o

james_n be_v lawful_a and_o rightful_a king_n of_o this_o realm_n t._n there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o it_o this_o must_v be_v do_v if_o they_o will_v act_v regular_o beside_o the_o want_n of_o writ_n
