A89881	Interest will not lie. Or, a view of England's true interest: in reference to the [brace] papist, royalist, Presbyterian, baptised, neuter, Army, Parliament, City of London. In refutation of a treasonable pamphlet, entituled, The interest of England stated. Wherein the author of it pretends to discover a way, how to satisfie all parties before-mentioned, and provide for the publick good, by calling in the son of the late King, &c. Against whom it is here proved, that it is really the interest of every party (except only the papist) to keep him out: and whatever hath been objected by Mr. William Pryn, or other malcontents, in order to the restoring of that family, or against the legality of this Parliament's sitting, is here answer'd by arguments drawn from Mr Baxter's late book called A holy commonwealth, for the satisfaction of them of the Presbyterian way; and from writings of the most learned royalists, to convince those of the royal party.

that_o sovereign_a power_n of_o parliament_n as_o the_o king_n have_v another_o part_n and_o can_v real_o claim_v no_o more_o but_o his_o part_n in_o the_o act_n of_o supremacy_n for_o proof_n of_o

by_o the_o law_n of_o arms._n 3._o the_o three_o position_n be_v that_o a_o king_n carry_v on_o a_o war_n upon_o such_o term_n against_o the_o people_n to_o the_o death_n and_o destruction_n of_o his_o people_n while_o they_o be_v contend_v for_o their_o right_n remain_v no_o long_o a_o king_n have_v dissolve_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o have_v lose_v his_o kingdom_n and_o become_v a_o enemy_n and_o a_o private_a person_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o against_o the_o cavalier_n barclay_n the_o great_a champion_n of_o

they_o as_o 〈◊〉_d enemy_n 4._o the_o four_o position_n be_v that_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v by_o this_o mean_v dissolve_v and_o the_o nation_n put_v into_o a_o state_n of_o war_n be_v divide_v into_o two_o party_n these_o two_o party_n though_o real_o they_o make_v but_o one_o nation_n yet_o during_o the_o war_n they_o be_v no_o long_o to_o be_v reckon_v as_o one_o nation_n

if_o while_o the_o war_n last_v the_o two_o party_n be_v to_o be_v repute_v two_o nation_n than_o the_o right_n and_o law_n of_o war_n do_v belong_v unto_o either_o party_n against_o the_o other_o as_o absolute_o as_o they_o can_v belong_v unto_o one_o nation_n against_o another_o when_o they_o be_v at_o war._n beside_o that_o this_o be_v confess_v the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o no_o

for_o the_o sit_v of_o this_o parliament_n as_o to_o the_o grand_a argument_n which_o both_o our_o author_n mr._n pryn_n and_o other_o do_v use_v that_o according_a to_o law_n the_o parliament_n be_v
