may_v say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o it_o be_v not_o till_o after_o 200._o year_n from_o the_o first_o parliament_n that_o we_o read_v of_o in_o our_o book_n of_o statute_n namely_o not_o until_o the_o reign_n of_o henry_n why_o the_o vi_o who_o owe_v his_o title_n such_o as_o it_o be_v to_o the_o parliament_n and_o to_o the_o parliament_n as_o it_o signify_v the_o two_o house_n only_o without_o the_o king_n for_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o such_o a_o parliament_n it_o be_v that_o be_v of_o a_o body_n without_o a_o head_n that_o henry_n bullingbrook_n be_v make_v king_n richard_n the_o second_v surrender_v be_v neither_o voluntary_a nor_o lawful_a if_o it_o have_v be_v voluntary_a as_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o the_o two_o house_n themselves_o when_o richard_n duke_n of_o york_n claim_v the_o crown_n as_o the_o right_a heir_n to_o it_o thereby_o acknowledge_v likewise_o that_o although_o they_o have_v de_fw-fr facto_fw-la yet_o they_o can_v not_o the_o jure_fw-la exclude_v the_o right_a heir_n howsoever_o their_o authority_n be_v the_o only_a title_n which_o the_o then_o present_a king_n have_v and_o hold_v the_o crown_n by_o as_o have_v not_o the_o courage_n either_o of_o his_o grandfather_n or_o his_o father_n to_o claim_v it_o by_o conquest_n and_o hold_v it_o by_o force_n as_o they_o do_v he_o be_v willing_a to_o acknowledge_v he_o hold_v it_o by_o authority_n of_o parliament_n as_o the_o word_n parliament_n be_v take_v for_o the_o two_o
house_n of_o parliament_n without_o a_o king_n and_o this_o perhaps_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o at_o first_o in_o that_o weak_a king_n time_n to_o be_v it_o enact_v by_o the_o king_n with_o

this_o addition_n have_v be_v continue_v ever_o since_o whereas_o the_o alteration_n i_o before_o speak_v of_o do_v not_o as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v and_o therefore_o two_o to_o this_o

which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v common_o true_o and_o proper_o call_v the_o king_n great_a council_n or_o the_o king_n high_a court_n of_o parliament_n it_o be_v by_o the_o authority_n court._n

and_o therefore_o when_o our_o law_n say_v the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o as_o i_o conceive_v mean_v that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v that_o or_o command_v that_o to_o

70._o thousand_o of_o they_o be_v sweep_v away_o by_o the_o plague_n in_o three_o day_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o maxim_n in_o our_o law_n i_o say_v as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v do_v or_o cause_n to_o be_v do_v never_o so_o great_a a_o wrong_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o legal_o accountable_a or_o questionable_a or_o punishable_a for_o it_o by_o any_o power_n on_o earth_n and_o much_o less_o by_o any_o of_o his_o own_o subject_n whereunto_o another_o maxim_n of_o our_o law_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o witness_n which_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o crown_n

god_n bear_v witness_v also_o for_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o king_n david_n confess_v those_o two_o great_a sin_n of_o adultery_n alone_o and_o murder_n unto_o god_n say_v against_o thou_o only_o have_v i_o sin_v not_o as_o if_o he_o think_v he_o have_v not_o sin_v very_o high_o and_o heinous_o too_o against_o bathsheba_n and_o vriah_n by_o defile_v the_o one_o and_o murder_v the_o

both_o those_o capital_a crime_n be_v never_o call_v to_o account_v for_o either_o or_o both_o of_o they_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a because_o there_o be_v none_o that_o have_v authority_n to_o
