necessitate_v pensata_fw-la upon_o the_o word_n concessa_fw-la i_o will_v glad_o be_v satisfy_v when_o or_o by_o who_o that_o power_n be_v ever_o grant_v to_o the_o king_n where_o shall_v we_o find_v that_o grant_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o whoever_o have_v the_o entire_a power_n of_o make_v a_o law_n may_v just_o dispense_v with_o that_o law._n and_o therefore_o almighty_a god_n be_v the_o sole_a

in_o his_o seven_o report_n in_o the_o case_n of_o penal_a statate_n fol._n 36._o towards_o the_o low_a end_n do_v affirm_v that_o this_o dispense_v power_n be_v commit_v to_o the_o king_n by_o all_o

i_o conceive_v make_v it_o appear_v in_o my_o large_a argument_n p._n 14._o that_o the_o first_o invention_n of_o dispensation_n with_o law_n begin_v by_o the_o pope_n about_o the_o time_n of_o innocent_a the_o three_o and_o by_o our_o king_n henry_n the_o three_o in_o imitation_n and_o by_o encouragement_n from_o the_o pope_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o grant_n of_o the_o people_n but_o ever_o exclaim_v against_o by_o all_o good_a man_n and_o general_o by_o all_o the_o people_n and_o ever_o fence_v against_o by_o a_o multitude_n of_o act_n of_o parliament_n it_o be_v true_a the_o dispense_v with_o law_n have_v ever_o since_o be_v practise_v and_o they_o begin_v at_o first_o here_o in_o england_n to_o be_v use_v only_o in_o case_n where_o the_o king_n alone_o be_v concern_v in_o statute_n make_v for_o his_o own_o profit_n wherein_o he_o may_v have_v do_v what_o he_o please_v but_o it_o be_v but_o of_o latter_a time_n that_o they_o have_v be_v stretch_v to_o case_n that_o concern_v the_o whole_a realm_n see_v my_o argument_n fol._n 13._o hence_o it_o evident_o appear_v it_o can_v be_v a_o legal_a prerogative_n in_o the_o king_n for_o that_o must_v ever_o

to_o prove_v that_o the_o dispensation_n grant_v to_o sir_n edward_n hales_n be_v good_a in_o law._n because_o a_o dispensation_n be_v proper_o and_o only_o in_o case_n of_o a_o malum_fw-la prohibitum_fw-la he_o thence_o inser_n that_o the_o king_n can_v dispense_v in_o all_o case_n of_o mala_fw-la prohibita_fw-la which_o be_v a_o wrong_a inference_n and_o that_o which_o logician_n call_v fallacia_fw-la à_fw-la dicto_fw-la secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la ad_fw-la dictum_fw-la simpliciter_fw-la because_o he_o can_v dispense_v with_o some_o that_o therefore_o he_o can_v dispense_v with_o all_o be_v no_o good_a consequence_n it_o appear_v by_o the_o late_a chief_a justice_n vaughan_n report_n in_o the_o case_n of_o thomas_n and_o sorrel_n so_o often_o cite_v by_o the_o chief_a

show_v that_o the_o dispensation_n grant_v to_o sir_n edward_n hales_n fall_v under_o the_o first_o part_n but_o that_o learned_a reporter_n the_o chief_a justice_n vaughan_n so_o often_o cite_v by_o

sorrell's_n case_n that_o the_o notion_n of_o dispensation_n be_v as_o yet_o but_o crude_a and_o undigested_a and_o not_o full_o shape_v and_o form_v by_o the_o judge_n the_o pope_n be_v the_o inventor_n of_o it_o our_o king_n have_v borrow_v it_o from_o they_o and_o the_o judge_n from_o time_n to_o time_n have_v nurse_v and_o dress_v it_o up_o and_o give_v it_o countenance_n and_o it_o be_v still_o upon_o the_o growth_n and_o encroach_a till_o it_o have_v almost_o subvert_v all_o law_n and_o make_v the_o regal_a power_n absolute_a if_o not_o dissolute_a i_o must_v agree_v that_o our_o book_n of_o late_o have_v run_v much_o upon_o a_o distinction_n viz._n where_o the_o breach_n of_o a_o penal_a statute_n be_v to_o the_o particular_a damage_n of_o any_o person_n for_o which_o such_o person_n may_v have_v his_o action_n against_o the_o breaker_n of_o that_o law_n there_o though_o it_o be_v but_o malum_fw-la prohibitum_fw-la yet_o the_o king_n can_v dispense_v with_o that_o penal_a law_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n in_o bracton_n rex_fw-la non_fw-la potest_fw-la gratiam_fw-la facere_fw-la cum_fw-la injuriâ_fw-la &_o damno_fw-la alterius_fw-la as_o for_o instance_n there_o be_v several_a statute_n that_o prohibit_v one_o man_n from_o maintain_v another_o suit_n though_o in_o a_o just_a cause_n see_v poulton_n de_fw-fr pace_fw-la regis_fw-la &_o regni_fw-la in_o his_o chapt._n of_o maintenance_n fol._n 55._o now_o it_o be_v hold_v that_o the_o king_n can_v dispense_v with_o those_o law_n because_o it_o will_v be_v to_o the_o prejudice_n and_o damage_n of_o that_o particular_a person_n against_o who_o the_o suit_n be_v so_o maintain_v by_o another_o for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o maintenance_n but_o it_o be_v to_o the_o wrong_n of_o a_o particular_a

particular_a damage_n and_o therefore_o no_o particular_a action_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o they_o as_o upon_o the_o statute_n that_o prohibit_v the_o transportation_n of_o wool_n under_o a_o

his_o suit_n be_v commence_v in_o these_o case_n it_o be_v common_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n may_v dispense_v with_o such_o penal_a statute_n as_o to_o some_o particular_a person_n and_o for_o
