In which, answer is also given to all objections that do arise, either directly, or collaterally concerning the same. All which is referred to the judicious reader. by J.M. C.L.

those_o very_a obloquy_n and_o dishonourable_a detraction_n which_o be_v coin_a for_o his_o honourable_a assembly_n of_o parliament_n for_o as_o all_o our_o book_n agree_v the_o parliament_n be_v as_o

of_o parliament_n consist_v of_o three_o part_n viz._n of_o the_o king_n as_o the_o chief_a head_n and_o of_o the_o lord_n the_o chief_a and_o principal_a member_n of_o the_o body_n and_o of_o the_o

you_o can_v divide_v the_o head_n from_o the_o natural_a body_n and_o yet_o preserve_v the_o body_n alive_a can_v you_o divide_v the_o king_n from_o the_o parliament_n and_o yet_o have_v the_o parliament_n continue_v as_o in_o truth_n it_o do_v and_o i_o hope_v that_o there_o be_v none_o so_o void_a of_o reason_n as_o to_o think_v that_o the_o king_n divide_v of_o himself_o from_o his_o

body_n will_v be_v destroy_v for_o that_o a_o body_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o can_v subsist_v without_o a_o head_n and_o it_o must_v likewise_o follow_v that_o they_o usurp_v no_o honour_n or_o power_n to_o themselves_o more_o than_o by_o the_o law_n be_v due_a to_o style_v themselves_o the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o imputation_n or_o dishonourable_a invective_n thing_n
