as_o a_o wilful_a forfeiture_n or_o abdication_n of_o the_o government_n and_o it_o be_v from_o this_o first_o go_v away_o that_o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o convention_n date_n his_o abdication_n since_o though_o it_o be_v true_a after_o his_o return_n to_o london_n he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o make_v a_o order_n in_o council_n to_o stop_v the_o further_o pull_v down_o and_o plunder_v popish_a chapel_n and_o papist_n house_n yet_o be_v it_o sign_v by_o very_a few_o of_o the_o council_n and_o almost_o only_o by_o those_o who_o have_v be_v in_o some_o office_n or_o place_n of_o trust_n so_o that_o though_o he_o be_v then_o own_a by_o they_o yet_o since_o that_o order_n do_v only_o serve_v to_o show_v his_o zeal_n for_o the_o popish_a party_n and_o be_v never_o obey_v or_o take_v notice_n of_o by_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v direct_v and_o that_o neither_o the_o prince_n nor_o the_o city_n of_o london_n own_v he_o afterward_o since_o it_o have_v already_o deliver_v itself_o up_o to_o the_o prince_n and_o have_v as_o well_o as_o the_o peer_n invite_v he_o to_o repair_v to_o that_o city_n i_o can_v see_v that_o so_o slight_a a_o act_n as_o this_o order_n of_o council_n shall_v be_v count_v a_o return_n to_o or_o a_o re-establishment_n in_o the_o throne_n since_o the_o king_n have_v not_o only_o lose_v the_o crown_n by_o his_o wilful_a departure_n without_o call_v a_o parliament_n or_o give_v the_o p._n any_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o great_a business_n of_o the_o pretend_a prince_n of_o wales_n or_o the_o nation_n by_o repair_v up_o those_o desperate_a breach_n he_o have_v make_v upon_o our_o fundamental_a law_n but_o have_v also_o lose_v his_o title_n to_o the_o crown_n by_o be_v conquer_a by_o the_o prince_n in_o open_a war_n as_o i_o shall_v prove_v more_o at_o large_a another_o time_n so_o that_o if_o you_o please_v better_a to_o consider_v this_o vote_n of_o the_o convention_n you_o will_v find_v that_o these_o word_n have_v abdicate_v the_o government_n do_v not_o only_o refer_v to_o the_o last_o clause_n of_o his_o have_v withdraw_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o to_o everyone_o of_o the_o forego_n clause_n viz._n his_o have_v endeavour_v to_o subvert_v the_o constitution_n of_o this_o kingdom_n his_o break_v the_o original_a contract_n and_o his_o have_v violate_v the_o fundamental_a law_n so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a their_o notion_n of_o abdication_n be_v not_o fix_v only_o in_o the_o king_n desertion_n or_o bare_a withdraw_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o from_o his_o renounce_v the_o legal_a title_n by_o which_o he_o hold_v the_o crown_n and_o set_v himself_o up_o as_o a_o despotic_a sovereign_n and_o rule_v by_o a_o mercenary_a army_n and_o therefore_o all_o that_o you_o have_v say_v about_o the_o king_n quit_v the_o government_n with_o a_o design_n to_o return_v to_o it_o again_o as_o soon_o as_o with_o safety_n he_o may_v be_v altogether_o vain_a for_o as_o he_o go_v away_o because_o he_o will_v not_o govern_v any_o long_o as_o a_o king_n by_o law_n so_o have_v he_o yet_o give_v we_o no_o satisfaction_n that_o he_o will_v not_o return_v again_o to_o govern_v otherwise_o or_o rather_o worse_a than_o he_o do_v before_o have_v he_o a_o opportunity_n so_o to_o do_v that_o be_v as_o the_o letter_n i_o cite_v but_o now_o phrase_n i●_n to_o return_v and_o have_v his_o end_n of_o we_o so_o that_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o case_n i_o think_v i_o can_v very_o well_o justify_v the_o last_o clause_n in_o this_o vote_n that_o the_o throne_n be_v thereby_o vacant_a m._n sir_n you_o have_v speak_v a_o considerable_a time_n and_o i_o doubt_v more_o than_o i_o can_v distinct_o remember_v to_o answer_v as_o i_o shall_v therefore_o before_o you_o proceed_v to_o this_o last_o clause_n of_o the_o vacancy_n of_o the_o throne_n the_o dispute_n about_o which_o i_o foresee_v may_v hold_v long_o than_o upon_o any_o of_o the_o former_a pray_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o reply_v to_o what_o you_o have_v already_o say_v in_o justification_n of_o all_o the_o other_o part_n of_o this_o vote_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o if_o the_o king_n have_v once_o get_v the_o power_n of_o make_v what_o mayor_n alderman_n and_o other_o officer_n in_o corporation_n at_o his_o pleasure_n it_o will_v have_v go_v a_o great_a way_n towards_o the_o make_n the_o majority_n of_o the_o parliament-man_n nay_o i_o likewise_o grant_v that_o by_o his_o dispense_n power_n he_o may_v have_v make_v what_o papist_n or_o other_o person_n he_o please_v sheriff_n in_o any_o county_n who_o will_v have_v make_v such_o return_n of_o knight_n of_o shire_n as_o he_o shall_v have_v think_v fit_a yet_o i_o suppose_v this_o will_v not_o have_v be_v to_o the_o subversion_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n which_o i_o think_v i_o have_v prove_v to_o consist_v original_o in_o the_o k._n alone_o before_o any_o great_a council_n or_o parliament_n be_v institute_v and_o as_o for_o those_o violation_n of_o the_o fundamental_a law_n and_o liberty_n of_o this_o kingdom_n the_o declaration_n instance_n in_o i_o think_v several_a of_o they_o may_v very_o well_o be_v justify_v by_o ancient_a precedent_n and_o add_v judge_v case_n in_o law_n and_o therefore_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v violation_n that_o they_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o king_n exercise_v of_o his_o due_a prerogative_n and_o though_o at_o our_o nine_o meeting_n i_o have_v not_o time_n so_o well_o to_o consider_v these_o matter_n as_o also_o because_o i_o be_v not_o then_o prepare_v to_o defend_v the_o king_n proceed_n i_o shall_v therefore_o make_v bold_a to_o examine_v the_o most_o considerable_a of_o those_o article_n which_o the_o late_a declaration_n suppose_v do_v so_o high_o tend_v to_o subvert_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o the_o law_n and_o liberty_n of_o this_o kingdom_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o viz._n his_o assume_v and_o exercise_v a_o power_n of_o dispense_v with_o and_o suspend_v of_o law_n and_o the_o execution_n of_o law_n without_o consent_n of_o parliament_n which_o power_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o by_o the_o way_n be_v not_o assert_v to_o dispense_v with_o all_o law_n or_o statute_n whatsoever_o but_o only_o such_o as_o the_o subject_n have_v no_o particular_a cause_n of_o action_n in_o and_o where_o the_o damage_n

this_o point_n without_o better_a consideration_n but_o methinks_v you_o have_v not_o yet_o full_o answer_v one_o of_o my_o main_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n to_o proceed_v from_o god_n alone_o and_o therefore_o must_v have_v be_v confer_v as_o first_o on_o adam_n since_o no_o man_n have_v a_o power_n over_o his_o own_o life_n as_o i_o say_v before_o and_o

neither_o private_a man_n nor_o master_n of_o family_n have_v any_o right_a to_o defend_v their_o own_o life_n much_o less_o to_o take_v away_o those_o of_o other_o but_o as_o it_o be_v grant_v they_o by_o god_n in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n in_o order_n to_o the_o procure_v the_o great_a end_n of_o it_o viz._n the_o happiness_n and_o propagation_n of_o mankind_n which_o i_o own_o can_v not_o in_o this_o lapse_v and_o deprave_a state_n of_o nature_n we_o now_o be_v in_o long_o subsist_v without_o such_o a_o power_n yet_o i_o think_v i_o have_v already_o sufficient_o prove_v that_o we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o recur_v to_o i_o know_v not_o what_o divine_a charter_n grant_v by_o god_n to_o adam_n or_o noah_n and_o from_o they_o derive_v to_o all_o civil_a magistrate_n that_o ever_o have_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n the_o consequence_n of_o which_o will_v be_v that_o no_o sentence_n of_o death_n can_v be_v just_o give_v against_o any_o man_n but_o in_o such_o kingdom_n

scarce_a reach_v far_o than_o some_o few_o divine_n and_o high_a royalist_n of_o our_o own_o island_n but_o be_v it_o as_o it_o will_v the_o antecedent_n or_o first_o proposition_n be_v not_o true_a that_o no_o man_n in_o any_o case_n whatsoever_o have_v power_n over_o his_o own_o life_n and_o therefore_o neither_o be_v your_o consequence_n for_o i_o suppose_v that_o for_o the_o same_o end_n
