prerogative_n for_o which_o i_o now_o labour_n whereby_o we_o have_v sore_o feel_v and_o dear_o undergo_v these_o unmatchable_a misery_n wherewith_o these_o three_o kingdom_n have_v be_v so_o long_o and_o tedious_o exercise_v which_o be_v argument_n enough_o to_o satisfy_v any_o reasonable_a and_o sober_a mind_n against_o the_o unreasonableness_n of_o it_o and_o to_o persuade_v they_o in_o their_o conscience_n that_o such_o a_o unheard_a of_o precedent_n shall_v not_o innovate_v so_o much_o upon_o prerogative_n as_o to_o bind_v up_o the_o king_n hand_n which_o shall_v defend_v and_o preserve_v himself_o and_o his_o people_n and_o to_o make_v he_o stand_v still_o while_o his_o loyal_a subject_n be_v murder_v before_o his_o face_n his_o own_o throat_n cut_v before_o his_o palace_n and_o the_o most_o horrid_a confusion_n that_o ever_o be_v hear_v of_o bring_v upon_o a_o land_n before_o that_o time_n the_o most_o flourish_a that_o ever_o be_v see_v and_o all_o this_o fall_v out_o upon_o supposition_n of_o that_o act_n be_v in_o force_n which_o the_o king_n may_v have_v wave_v for_o in_o the_o case_n of_o ship-money_n though_o it_o be_v the_o better_a opinion_n that_o the_o king_n can_v not_o raise_v money_n but_o by_o parliament_n general_o yet_o in_o case_n of_o apparent_a danger_n to_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v agree_v by_o all_o the_o judge_n of_o england_n that_o he_o may_v but_o then_o admit_v it_o bind_v in_o its_o creation_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v its_o duration_n how_o long_o it_o bind_v and_o for_o that_o its_o clear_a it_o can_v bind_v he_o no_o long_o than_o he_o live_v for_o that_o thus_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o lawmaker_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o law_n now_o we_o know_v full_a well_o that_o the_o maker_n of_o that_o act_n never_o think_v of_o the_o king_n death_n especial_o his_o murder_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o make_n of_o that_o act_n but_o that_o which_o be_v the_o move_a cause_n of_o that_o act_n from_o the_o house_n be_v the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o king_n break_v up_o of_o several_a parliament_n before_o whereby_o some_o of_o the_o member_n be_v prevent_v to_o vent_v their_o
