hovvrely remouable from his ovvne opinion nor may examine the matter priuatli before or after he come to conferr therof or els their admission is not sufficient by this rule of theirs More ouer thes tvvo lavvyers and all those trauailinge conferers in this supposed assembly at Amsterdame are by this rules condemned beinge all priuat persones for entermedlige thē selfes vvith this matter of successiō touchinge the title of a kinge Fourthly the state of monarchie vvhiehe thies tvvo lavvyers do confesse acknovvledge to be of al other formes of gouernement most excelēt perfect in it selfe must needs be most contemptible vnperfect infamous of all other because the Ciuilian so esteemeth the tenure of a Crovvne to be most irreguler most extraordinarie for the Ciuilians opinion is the sentence of all thies conferrers to be irreagler and extraordinarye is to be vnder no rule nor order vvher vpon consequētly the kinge holdeth his Crovvne by no rule nor order is of hiselse irregular not subiect to rule or order And if the comō vvealth be theonely Iudge ouer the kinge to cōptrol him as thies men teache vs none is by theire Doctrine appointed nor allovved to comptroll the common vvealths sentēce thē it must needs folovv that the common vvealth in this case is also vnder no vvill nor order no meruail for a multitude vvithout a head or of manie heads none good vvhat is it but a chaos confused masse ovvt of al order Thus vve are taught that the vnrulie must rule the vnruly if an irregular disordered multitude must gouerne the most irregular exrraordinarie Crovvne as theis men terme it Nay by this doctrine an vsurper disseizer intruder impious tyrant or infidel once admitted by the cōmon vvealth must not be deposed Again a possession onely must guide the right as the most materiall point to lead thin heritance succession of a Crovvne tvvo assertiōsneuer allovved for good plees in any lavv spiritual or temporal Diuin or humain most vvorthie of ovvt claps vvith hisses vvhistles yet they must both be allovved maīteined vnder this generall maxime of admission And so all enormities must be streight rules vvronges must be rights violence must be lavv bad must be good good must be bad if thies be allovved admitted by a multitude dravven to gether any vvaye to represēt beare the name of a republick or comon stat vvhiche for cleanelye conueyhance of a fovvl thinge in a fayre hand kerchife thies men doe call a common vvealth a speciall fallacie to abuse the simple besides euerie lavvfull king is deposible for or vvithout cause if the common vvealth dislike him euery quarel is a sufficiēt cause to depose a kinge if the cōmon wealth so esteme it euery kinge shal be accompted a tyrant an hereticque an infidel or incapable othervvays vnfit consequētly deposible because the publick state here called a cōmon vvealth holdeth him so to be is theonlye Iudge of all causes in this case of a kings state of all cōmisions that must procede from a kinge for no other Iudge is appointed in thies mens text A plaine contradiction to their ovvn Doctrin an error that thies lavvers vvill not stand to if they be pressed to ansvvere by authoritie authentique More ouer it must folovv vpon thies mens Doctrin that euerye multitude so incorporated as they got the style tytle of a publick state in their ovvn consceit by pretence may rightly be called a common vvealth habled by lavv to inioye all the preuileges before mentioned though they vvant a head yea thovvgh no vvelth nor commoditie commō or priuat be by them maintened And that euery publick stat or suche common vvealth as they haue allovved may at their pleasure alter chaunge innouat the caur se of inheritance succession to the Crovvn so as they may barre the right true title all redye cast vpon any persone by the lavves of the same state though the same persone be no member of the same state nor subiect ther vnto by nature submissiō or other lavvful meanes Consequently that the kīge of spaine is bovvnde to setle his consciēce not impugne the ordinance of the novv English common vvealth hovv iust so euer his title be for the present or future tyme nor to examine any others title allovved admitted by the same common vvealth if that negatiue pregnant foisted in to the margent touching priuat men can not be hable to cōptroll the text vvhich bindeth euery man vvithout exception or difference of priuat or publick And last of all it is sett dovvn in plaine termes that euery kinge holdeth his Crovvne by the good vvill of his common vvealth as by the onely lavvfull good tenur of a Crovvne A playne contradiction to the state of inheritance and an absurditie vvorthie to haue all manner of scorne moquerye neuer auuoched for any plea neuer mentioned in any booke rol or record or vvritting of vvise mā nor admited in to the thought or imagination of any lavve maker lavvyer or other mēindued vvith common sence in Englande and an hiperbolical fictio against the state of Regall Ma. yet vve must beleaue it because the Ciuilian saith so vvho by al thies trauailinge opinions must be allvvayes allovved Thus vve see that by the Ciuiliās lavve his Ma. tenur vvherby he boldeth his Crovvne must be irregular extraordinarie though he be admitted by his comon vvealthe once setled in his state therfore not remouable yet that vvill not serue if he holdeth his Crovvne as tenant at vvil of the cōmon vvealth vvho may reuoke their admissions vvhē thei vst to finde suche cause as they thinke sufficient consequently he hath no state of inheritāce nor succession vvhat vvould the king Catholicke say to this thīke yovv if he vvere vvel informed of this particular Nay vvhat they of holande and zelande vvil presume here on to thīke say for hardeninge theire harts mainteyninge theire actual rebellions euery man seeth his Ma. can not be ignorāt Therfor it is not like that he vvas priuie to the contents of this book so farre as to allovv of it here his Ma. may behold the blinde presūptiō of thies statists vvho dare thus confront his Ma. in the chiefest point of his Maiestical state vvith such indignities by abusinge all regall dignitie so lovv as to make it the vassal of eueri arrogant rovvt of any vnlavvfull assembled multitude that can by hook or crroke vvile or guyle flaterye or violence catche snatche the visard of a common vvealth for more credit to their excessiue speache also vse his Ma. as a bolster to leane vpō vnder cloak of a licēce to roue freely through his Ma. Dominions vvhere it ruleth and comaundeth Yea these bold aduenturers do raūge so farre farther as by colour of his Ma. authoritie they dare attempt to stoppe the mouths and pennes of all
