alter_v they_o in_o essential_o or_o integral_n but_o only_o to_o over_o rule_v they_o 7._o i_o believe_v that_o all_o power_n be_v of_o god_n and_o no_o king_n have_v any_o but_o what_o god_n have_v give_v he_o and_o that_o god_n have_v give_v none_o against_o himself_o or_o any_o of_o his_o own_o law_n and_o all_o law_n be_v nullity_n that_o be_v against_o they_o and_o be_v not_o act_n of_o authority_n but_o usurpation_n as_o hooker_n say_v 8._o but_o yet_o he_o that_o act_v in_o one_o thing_n without_o and_o against_o authority_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v in_o other_o thing_n where_o he_o have_v authority_n and_o not_o resist_v by_o arm_n in_o every_o usurpation_n yea_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o office_n and_o true_a power_n be_v to_o be_v preserve_v while_o we_o refuse_v obedience_n to_o his_o sinful_a usurpation_n 9_o grotius_n and_o common_a reason_n convince_v i_o that_o where_o the_o summa_fw-la potestas_fw-la be_v in_o king_n and_o senate_n each_o part_n have_v right_a to_o defend_v its_o own_o true_a part_n therein_o it_o can_v be_v no_o part_n in_o sovereignty_n which_o be_v mere_o at_o the_o will_n and_o mercy_n of_o the_o other_o part_n 10._o i_o do_v and_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o constitution_n fix_v the_o chief_a power_n in_o king_n and_o parliament_n unite_v as_o one_o politic_a person_n it_o suppose_v that_o they_o must_v not_o be_v divide_v and_o that_o neither_o part_n have_v power_n against_o the_o other_o as_o such_o the_o king_n have_v power_n over_o they_o as_o subject_n but_o not_o as_o legislator_n or_o exempt_v proprietor_n so_o that_o separate_v they_o by_o fix_a opposition_n be_v dissolve_v the_o constitution_n as_o separate_a soul_n and_o body_n husband_n and_o wife_n dissolve_v man_n and_o matrimony_n 11._o therefore_o i_o do_v and_o do_v believe_v that_o neither_o king_n nor_o parliament_n have_v any_o right_n to_o raise_v a_o offensive_a war_n against_o each_o other_o none_o but_o avoidable_a defensive_a can_v be_v lawful_a therefore_o the_o first_o assailant_n be_v the_o culpable_a beginner_n 12._o i_o do_v believe_v that_o neither_o the_o king_n nor_o the_o parliament_n as_o such_o be_v questionable_a by_o law_n have_v no_o superior_a judicature_n to_o try_v they_o and_o that_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n be_v inviolable_a there_o be_v no_o power_n or_o law_n to_o punish_v he_o and_o therefore_o the_o law_n say_v the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n but_o it_o lay_v all_o the_o blame_n on_o the_o subject_n who_o be_v responsible_a for_o their_o action_n 13._o i_o do_v and_o do_v believe_v that_o as_o every_o man_n have_v a_o power_n of_o private_a self-defence_n against_o a_o murderer_n or_o thief_n so_o every_o kingdom_n have_v a_o power_n or_o right_v of_o
