A61544	A discourse concerning the illegality of the late ecclesiastical commission in answer to the vindication and defence of it : wherein the true notion of the legal supremacy is cleared, and an account is given of the nature, original, and mischief of the dispensing power.	Stillingfleet, Edward, 1635-1699.	1689 (1689)	Wing S5581; ESTC R24628	67,006	76

we_o can_v yet_o find_v the_o way_n through_o it_o can_v the_o king_n dispense_v with_o a_o disability_n in_o law_n or_o not_o if_o not_o the_o case_n of_o sheriff_n be_v go_v if_o he_o can_v then_o why_o not_o in_o the_o case_n of_o simony_n why_o not_o as_o to_o sit_v in_o parliament_n without_o take_v the_o oath_n no_o here_o be_v a_o disability_n in_o law._n what_o then_o can_v the_o k._n dispense_v with_o a_o disability_n in_o one_o case_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o bu_n the_o same_o person_n say_v that_o in_o that_o case_n because_o the_o word_n amount_v to_o a_o disability_n the_o king_n can_v dispense_v and_o here_o where_o the_o 154._o disability_n be_v express_v he_o may_v but_o we_o be_v late_o tell_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o disability_n one_o be_v actual_o

that_o penalty_n not_o to_o be_v incur_v before_o a_o legal_a conviction_n and_o in_o this_o case_n the_o king_n dispensation_n come_v before_o the_o conviction_n do_v prevent_v it_o by_o make_v that_o lawful_a which_o will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o without_o it_o but_o when_o a_o disability_n be_v actually-incurred_n it_o can_v be_v take_v off_o but_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n 30._o i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o law_n which_o make_v the_o disability_n do_v allow_v of_o a_o dispensation_n antecedent_n to_o the_o conviction_n than_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o dispensation_n before_o

have_v be_v prevent_v because_o the_o law_n do_v express_o allow_v of_o a_o dispensation_n in_o the_o case_n but_o here_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n the_o act_n of_o parliament_n suppose_v no_o

of_o parliament_n and_o such_o a_o dispensation_n neither_o before_o nor_o after_o conviction_n can_v prevent_v a_o disability_n if_o it_o can_v i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n see_v why_o it_o may_v not_o as_o well_o hold_v as_o to_o member_n of_o parliament_n at_o least_o as_o to_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n if_o they_o take_v their_o dispensation_n before_o sit_v in_o the_o house_n for_o the_o
