A91141	The aphorismes of the kingdome. 1. The Parliament is the moderation of monarchy. ... 2. The power of it is sufficient to prevent and restraine tyranny. ... 3. The essence of the law is the free consent of the law-makers. ... 4. The sole reason of the King is not the sound judgement of the kingdome. ... 5. All the votes in Parliament are directive to the law, none destructive. ... 6. The vote that is directive and coactive, is no wayes nomotheticall. ... 7. The negative vote of a King is no more than the dissent of one man. ... 8. The affirmative vote of a King makes not the law; ergo, the negative cannot destroy it. ... 9. He that cannot destroy a law made, cannot destroy it in the making. ... 10. The power that makes lawes, repeales and revives them as reason requires. ... 11. Kings that doe good to their subjects of bountie, would be free of the obligation. ... 12. Laws are the best directions and obligations for all men to follow. To submit the principality to the laws is more than the crowne. ...	Prynne, William, 1600-1669,	1642 (1642)	Wing P3893; Thomason E240_26; Thomason E240_27; ESTC R8933	10,462	8

make_v his_o parliament_n the_o lion_n den_n to_o hold_v his_o subject_n do_v and_o to_o do_v nothing_o out_o what_o he_o like_v they_o will_v be_v strange_a vote_n that_o that_o be_v all_o force_v

than_o in_o another_o man_n that_o have_v as_o much_o power_n to_o consent_v as_o the_o king_n himself_o will_v you_o say_v power_n i_o must_v ask_v again_o what_o power_n certain_o it_o must_v be_v a_o free_a power_n and_o then_o no_o difference_n for_o the_o mean_a man_n in_o parliament_n be_v as_o free_a as_o the_o king_n to_o give_v his_o vote_n and_o no_o law_n can_v be_v make_v without_o
