A44581	The petition and argvment of Mr. Hotham, fellow of Peter-house in Cambridge, before the Committee for Reformation of the Universities, April 10, 1651 against the masters negative voice of that colledge, and for a remedy to be granted the colledge against the usurpations of Doctor Seaman the present master, agreeable to what was granted the colledge against the usurpations of Doctor Seaman the present master, agreeable to what was granted by Parliament to the city of London, an. Dom. 1648 for the better enabling them in case of need to act as a free body without their chief officers concurrence.	Hotham, Charles, 1615-1672?	1651 (1651)	Wing H2897; ESTC R26808	47,840	64

society_n and_o if_o our_o head_n have_v behave_v himself_o with_o the_o like_a candour_n and_o moderation_n in_o his_o trust_n you_o have_v not_o i_o think_v be_v trouble_v with_o these_o tedious_a dispute_n at_o this_o day_n but_o our_o head_n though_o as_o you_o have_v hear_v deny_v a_o negative_a voice_n by_o our_o lawgiver_n will_v yet_o usurp_v it_o propound_v only_o what_o he_o please_v

beside_o we_o have_v in_o the_o general_a course_n of_o this_o man_n government_n observe_v nothing_o of_o a_o public_a spirit_n aim_v at_o the_o common_a good_a but_o rather_o a_o constant_a tenor_n of_o close_a dissimulation_n and_o greedy_a intentiveness_n upon_o all_o advantage_n of_o not_o only_o hold_v fast_o in_o every_o punctillo_n but_o advance_v still_o further_o the_o grand_a interest_n of_o his_o power_n and_o profit_n and_o that_o as_o far_o as_o humane_a wit_n can_v guess_v of_o man_n heart_n by_o its_o fruit_n the_o two_o great_a pole_n of_o his_o whole_a revolution_n be_v

petition_n for_o a_o just_a restraint_n of_o this_o exorbitancy_n of_o a_o assume_v power_n within_o those_o bound_n our_o lawgiver_n wisdom_n have_v prescribe_v to_o it_o with_o some_o concurrent_a

the_o cause_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o it_o but_o only_o to_o open_v your_o eye_n that_o you_o may_v see_v how_o this_o antichristian_a mystery_n of_o the_o negative_a voice_n begin_v its_o work_n betimes_o even_o near_o the_o apostolic_a day_n of_o reformation_n for_o to_o the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o statute_n as_o it_o stand_v i_o be_o not_o without_o a_o very_a satisfactory_a answer_n for_o it_o say_v not_o positive_o that_o all_o concession_n election_n etc._n etc._n shall_v be_v null_a which_o want_v the_o prefect_n consent_n but_o that_o in_o all_o election_n concession_n etc._n etc._n the_o prefect_n consent_n be_v necessary_o to_o be_v require_v now_o we_o know_v that_o that_o word_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o postulo_fw-la in_o latin_a and_o so_o imply_v rather_o that_o the_o prefect_n consent_n be_v to_o be_v require_v of_o he_o de_fw-fr jure_fw-la as_o a_o right_n then_o beg_v as_o a_o act_n of_o grace_n as_o if_o the_o society_n consent_v without_o his_o le_fw-fr roy_fw-fr le_fw-fr veult_n be_v of_o no_o force_n and_o this_o answer_n in_o these_o time_n wherein_o all_o statute_n ought_v to_o be_v interpret_v in_o favour_n of_o liberty_n as_o they_o be_v former_o in_o favour_n of_o prerogative_n may_v alone_o suffice_v but_o i_o shall_v add_v another_o of_o more_o convince_a evidence_n which_o be_v this_o that_o grant_v the_o intent_n of_o this_o statute_n be_v to_o make_v the_o master_n consent_n a_o necessary_a ingredient_n to_o the_o composition_n of_o each_o election_n or_o concession_n etc._n etc._n yet_o it_o absolve_v they_o not_o from_o that_o oblige_a power_n which_o lie_v upon_o they_o by_o any_o of_o their_o local_a statute_n to_o consent_v to_o what_o be_v advise_v by_o the_o major_a part_n of_o their_o society_n but_o that_o by_o refusal_n of_o such_o consent_n they_o incur_v the_o guilt_n of_o perjury_n and_o breach_n of_o trust_n or_o such_o other_o penalty_n as_o their_o founder_n providence_n have_v allot_v for_o the_o establishment_n of_o that_o law_n and_o therefore_o this_o obligation_n to_o consent_v remain_v still_o in_o full_a force_n suppose_v in_o the_o major_a part_n the_o prefect_n consent_v legal_o involve_v and_o include_v as_o to_o compare_v the_o great_a with_o our_o small_a controversy_n the_o king_n consent_n be_v always_o suppose_v to_o be_v legal_o include_v in_o the_o major_a vote_n even_o of_o the_o most_o petit_fw-fr tribunal_n much_o more_o of_o the_o grand_a judicatory_a of_o the_o whole_a nation_n though_o never_o so_o much_o personal_o dissent_v which_o principle_n have_v be_v always_o esteem_v one_o of_o the_o main_a pillar_n of_o our_o cause_n upon_o which_o alone_o we_o may_v lay_v the_o whole_a stress_n of_o not_o only_o the_o justice_n and_o lawfulness_n but_o even_a legality_n of_o our_o war_n but_o this_o man_n who_o no_o doubt_n have_v more_o than_o once_o with_o our_o once-brethren_n of_o scotland_n vote_v the_o king_n a_o man_n of_o

of_o the_o kingdom_n at_o that_o time_n then_o with_o we_o by_o our_o statute_n yet_o have_v not_o scruple_v to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n himself_o both_o in_o his_o particular_a practice_n in_o the_o college_n and_o by_o his_o appearance_n here_o with_o all_o his_o interest_n and_o wit_n to_o maintain_v this_o prerogative_n but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o point_n this_o point_n have_v be_v full_o clear_v up_o to_o you_o out_o of_o our_o local_a statute_n that_o our_o master_n be_v bind_v to_o consent_v to_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o major_a part_n that_o expression_n of_o the_o university-statute_n will_v now_o i_o hope_v create_v no_o prejudice_n and_o this_o answer_n may_v likewise_o satisfy_v another_o argument_n for_o the_o negative_a voice_n which_o may_v possible_o

there_o be_v much_o of_o reality_n in_o the_o assertion_n it_o be_v a_o humour_n you_o all_o know_v the_o most_o of_o mankind_n be_v much_o incident_a to_o to_o labour_v the_o promotion_n and_o

it_o be_v the_o policy_n of_o the_o contriver_n of_o our_o former_a government_n as_o know_v that_o that_o government_n can_v never_o be_v durable_a which_o have_v not_o its_o image_n stamp_v upon_o
