consequent_o they_o may_v be_v suspend_v or_o depose_v by_o they_o 3._o that_o the_o people_n may_v reform_v without_o they_o and_o may_v rise_v in_o arm_n against_o they_o if_o the_o monarch_n

in_o which_o they_o have_v be_v treat_v as_o slave_n and_o whereas_o these_o republican_n pretend_v that_o the_o king_n be_v but_o a_o physician_n this_o show_v that_o they_o design_v to_o have_v no_o king_n for_o any_o man_n may_v lawful_o change_v his_o physician_n and_o buchannan_n lay_v so_o much_o weight_n on_o this_o argument_n make_v i_o suspect_v much_o his_o honesty_n for_o no_o man_n can_v have_v so_o mean_v a_o opinion_n of_o his_o sense_n and_o his_o compare_v the_o monarch_n to_o a_o tutor_n be_v very_o extravagant_a for_o no_o man_n be_v swear_v to_o have_v such_o a_o man_n heir_n for_o tutor_n the_o one_o be_v choose_v by_o god_n the_o other_o by_o the_o patient_n the_o one_o have_v a_o right_a by_o law_n that_o be_v unalterable_a the_o other_o employment_n be_v mere_o precarious_a but_o though_o he_o be_v a_o tutor_n no_o man_n can_v remove_v his_o tutor_n at_o pleasure_n as_o they_o say_v the_o people_n may_v remove_v their_o king_n nor_o be_v a_o tutor_n to_o be_v lay_v aside_o but_o by_o a_o action_n before_o a_o superior_a judge_n wherein_o he_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v to_o have_v malverse_v and_o therefore_o since_o there_o be_v no_o superior_a judge_n except_o god_n and_o that_o the_o people_n be_v not_o his_o superior_n it_o clear_o follow_v that_o the_o people_n can_v lay_v aside_o their_o king_n only_o i_o join_v so_o far_o with_o buchannan_n in_o those_o rhetorical_a expression_n that_o i_o real_o think_v the_o multitude_n be_v always_o so_o mad_a that_o they_o need_v a_o king_n to_o be_v their_o physician_n and_o of_o so_o weak_a a_o judgement_n like_o minor_n that_o they_o need_v he_o for_o a_o tutor_n and_o without_o his_o assistance_n and_o protection_n every_o hypocritical_a bigot_n and_o ambitious_a usurper_n will_v cheat_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o make_v they_o not_o only_o a_o prey_n but_o but_o a_o tool_n in_o their_o own_o slavery_n nor_o be_v their_o any_o force_n in_o that_o argument_n the_o king_n be_v make_v for_o the_o people_n and_o not_o the_o people_n for_o the_o king_n and_o therefore_o the_o people_n be_v noble_a than_o the_o king_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v prefer_v to_o he_o for_o to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o 1._o the_o question_n here_o be_v not_o who_o be_v more_o preferable_a but_o who_o be_v the_o superior_a and_o though_o one_o good_a christian_a be_v preferable_a to_o a_o thousand_o who_o be_v not_o so_o yet_o his_o interest_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v not_o preferable_a the_o wise_a part_n be_v still_o preferable_a to_o the_o great_a part_n and_o yet_o the_o great_a will_v over-rule_v the_o wise_a a_o shepherd_n be_v ordain_v for_o the_o flock_n and_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v conclude_v that_o a_o flock_n of_o brute_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v to_o any_o reasonable_a creature_n 2._o the_o king_n interest_n and_o the_o people_n be_v inseparable_a in_o the_o construction_n of_o law_n which_o presume_v that_o what_o the_o king_n do_v he_o do_v for_o the_o people_n and_o there_o be_v none_o above_o the_o king_n that_o can_v judge_v he_o if_o he_o do_v otherwise_o 3._o whether_o the_o king_n power_n be_v derive_v from_o god_n or_o from_o the_o people_n yet_o if_o it_o be_v derive_v from_o god_n it_o be_v preferable_a because_o of_o god_n ordinance_n or_o if_o from_o the_o people_n it_o be_v preferable_a because_o they_o by_o elect_v he_o king_n have_v consent_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o they_o have_v trust_v he_o with_o the_o public_a interest_n the_o public_a interest_n be_v still_o preferable_a i_o know_v that_o buchannan_n and_o other_o value_v themselves_o much_o upon_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o bruce_n and_o balliol_n in_o which_o the_o people_n do_v declare_v that_o they_o prefer_v the_o bruce_n because_o the_o balliol_n have_v enslave_v the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o english_a and_o it_o be_v general_o urge_v that_o all_o lawyer_n be_v clear_a that_o if_o a_o king_n alienate_v his_o kingdom_n his_o people_n may_v disclaim_v he_o but_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o if_o a_o king_n will_v alienate_v his_o kingdom_n the_o subject_n be_v free_a in_o that_o case_n if_o at_o all_o not_o by_o their_o power_n to_o reassume_a their_o first_o liberty_n but_o because_o the_o king_n will_v not_o continue_v king_n and_o they_o be_v free_a by_o his_o deed_n but_o not_o by_o their_o own_o right_n 2._o even_o in_o that_o case_n lawyer_n do_v irritate_fw-la and_o annul_v the_o deed_n but_o dissolve_v not_o the_o contraveener_n right_o and_o as_o to_o that_o particular_a instance_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o king_n robert_n the_o first_o or_o the_o bruce_n as_o we_o call_v he_o be_v desirous_a that_o the_o parliament_n shall_v threaten_v to_o choose_v another_o if_o he_o submit_v his_o interest_n to_o the_o pope_n decision_n who_o pretend_v then_o to_o be_v the_o supreme_a judge_n over_o all_o king_n but_o though_o the_o bruce_n to_o please_v the_o people_n shall_v have_v shun_v to_o quarrel_v with_o what_o they_o do_v in_o such_o a_o juncture_n yet_o that_o can_v not_o wrong_v the_o monarchy_n nor_o his_o successor_n as_o shall_v be_v prove_v have_v thus_o clear_v that_o the_o king_n power_n be_v not_o derive_v from_o the_o people_n even_o though_o they_o have_v elect_v he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o absolute_a king_n both_o by_o our_o law_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o monarchy_n and_o that_o all_o this_o be_v most_o consistent_a with_o right_a reason_n i_o come_v now_o to_o draw_v some_o conclusion_n from_o these_o principle_n the_o first_o conclusion_n shall_v be_v that_o our_o parliament_n be_v not_o coordinate_a with_o our_o king_n in_o the_o legislative_a power_n but_o that_o the_o legislative_a and_o architectonick_a power_n of_o make_v law_n as_o lawyer_n term_v it_o do_v sole_o reside_v in_o the_o king_n the_o estate_n of_o parliament_n only_o consent_v which_o will_v further_o appear_v by_o these_o reason_n 1._o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o we_o have_v king_n long_o ere_o we_o have_v parliament_n we_o never_o have_v have_v any_o parliament_n till_o king_n kenneth_n the_o three_o time_n anno_fw-la dom._n 988._o according_a to_o the_o computation_n of_o the_o severe_a republicans_a themselves_o for_o till_o then_o we_o read_v only_o of_o the_o proceres_fw-la regni_fw-la or_o the_o nobility_n or_o chief_n of_o clanes_n and_o head_n of_o family_n who_o assemble_v upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o give_v the_o king_n advice_n and_o therefore_o our_o parliament_n can_v pretend_v that_o they_o be_v design_v as_o a_o coordinate_a power_n with_o the_o king_n while_o he_o do_v what_o be_v right_a much_o less_o to_o be_v his_o judge_n when_o he_o do_v what_o be_v wrong_v 2._o that_o our_o king_n make_v law_n of_o old_a without_o any_o consent_n and_o that_o these_o be_v submit_v to_o by_o the_o people_n be_v clear_a not_o only_o from_o our_o history_n which_o do_v tell_v we_o that_o such_o king_n make_v such_o law_n without_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o either_o nobility_n people_n or_o parliament_n but_o even_o from_o our_o old_a book_n of_o statute_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o the_o consent_n of_o
