destroy_v be_v it_o for_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a that_o the_o city_n of_o westchester_n be_v surprise_v and_o make_v a_o receptackle_n for_o papist_n and_o a_o inn_n to_o entertain_v rebel_n out_o of_o ireland_n who_o no_o doubt_n if_o they_o be_v not_o prevent_v will_v easy_o be_v persuade_v to_o assist_v the_o adverse_a party_n in_o the_o pursuance_n of_o those_o design_n which_o they_o have_v now_o on_o foot_n the_o promote_a of_o which_o conduce_v so_o much_o to_o the_o furtherance_n of_o their_o detest_a rebellion_n in_o ireland_n now_o if_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v do_v by_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n or_o for_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a let_v all_o man_n that_o be_v not_o either_o wilful_a or_o ignorant_a judge_n but_o now_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n let_v we_o examine_v what_o have_v be_v do_v by_o the_o know_a law_n and_o for_o the_o maintenance_n and_o prefervation_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o then_o we_o shall_v easy_o be_v resolve_v in_o that_o grand_a case_n of_o conscience_n whether_o we_o have_v most_o reason_n to_o stand_v for_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n or_o for_o the_o king_n against_o the_o parliament_n 1._o for_o the_o militia_n the_o thing_n that_o they_o make_v the_o grand_a occasion_n of_o these_o difference_n as_o touch_v his_o majesty_n power_n over_o the_o militia_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o his_o majesty_n lievetenantship_n be_v void_a at_o the_o come_n together_o of_o this_o parliament_n and_o be_v void_a it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o come_n together_o of_o the_o parliament_n make_v his_o majesty_n lievetenantship_n void_a that_o they_o then_o have_v at_o the_o least_o a_o negative_a voice_n in_o the_o disposal_n thereof_o for_o without_o doubt_n have_v none_o his_o majesty_n find_v that_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n consist_v in_o the_o call_n of_o this_o parliament_n the_o parliament_n have_v never_o be_v call_v and_o if_o they_o be_v call_v to_o consult_v and_o to_o order_v those_o thing_n which_o do_v conduce_v most_o to_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o can_v not_o be_v do_v without_o they_o then_o consequent_o the_o militia_n in_o the_o order_n and_o dispose_n of_o which_o consist_v the_o only_a safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n must_v necessary_o rest_v at_o their_o dispose_n object_n but_o it_o be_v object_v that_o though_o the_o parliament_n have_v this_o power_n in_o the_o disposal_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o to_o make_v use_n of_o that_o power_n without_o his_o majesty_n assent_n ans_fw-fr it_o be_v true_a his_o majesty_n assent_n ought_v to_o be_v thereunto_o but_o if_o his_o majesty_n dissent_v shall_v neglect_v that_o charge_n commit_v to_o he_o shall_v the_o parliament_n therefore_o make_v that_o their_o precedent_n and_o suffer_v the_o kingdom_n to_o lie_v open_a to_o foreign_a invasion_n and_o domestic_a innovasion_n because_o his_o majesty_n do_v not_o consent_v to_o the_o pass_v of_o a_o bill_n for_o the_o future_a establishment_n of_o the_o militia_n for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o kingdom_n therefore_o the_o parliament_n must_v not_o by_o a_o ordinance_n according_a to_o the_o know_a law_n provide_v for_o the_o present_a disposal_n thereof_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o kingdom_n may_v be_v put_v into_o a_o posture_n of_o defence_n and_o be_v enable_v to_o defend_v itself_o against_o all_o those_o that_o envy_v the_o peace_n of_o this_o kingdom_n though_o by_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n they_o be_v call_v for_o that_o purpose_n the_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o the_o parliament_n can_v raise_v a_o army_n without_o his_o majesty_n assent_n thereunto_o when_o on_o the_o contrary_n i_o will_v prove_v that_o by_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n the_o parliament_n have_v raise_v this_o army_n and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o know_a law_n they_o have_v power_n to_o impose_v contribution_n on_o the_o subject_a to_o maintain_v the_o present_a war_n against_o those_o that_o labour_n to_o invade_v the_o religion_n and_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o every_o court_n of_o the_o kingdom_n establish_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o parliament_n have_v a_o power_n by_o writ_n to_o command_v before_o they_o all_o such_o person_n as_o shall_v be_v for_o any_o lawful_a cause_n complain_v of_o and_o indict_v in_o the_o say_a court_n and_o if_o the_o person_n so_o command_v or_o serve_v with_o such_o writ_n shall_v deny_v to_o obey_v their_o writ_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o say_a warrant_n the_o respective_a officer_n have_v power_n to_o call_v to_o their_o aid_n and_o assistance_n all_o such_o person_n as_o they_o shall_v think_v convenient_a to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o say_v person_n so_o refuse_v and_o resist_v may_v be_v make_v to_o answer_v the_o law_n in_o all_o and_o every_o particular_a which_o shall_v be_v object_v against_o they_o now_o there_o be_v no_o court_n of_o justice_n in_o this_o kingdom_n but_o have_v have_v its_o first_o original_a constitution_n from_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n and_o it_o will_v seem_v very_o preposterus_fw-la that_o inferior_a court_n shall_v have_v a_o power_n impose_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o judgement_n of_o parliament_n and_o the_o parliament_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o superior_a court_n from_o who_o all_o other_o court_n have_v their_o begining_n shall_v be_v deny_v that_o power_n by_o writ_n to_o command_v delinquent_n before_o they_o and_o in_o case_n the_o person_n command_v shall_v not_o only_o refuse_v but_o shall_v be_v protect_v to_o raise_v sufficient_a strength_n to_o fetch_v all_o such_o person_n so_o refuse_v or_o protect_v and_o it_o will_v likewise_o seem_v a_o very_a preposterous_a thing_n that_o the_o law_n shall_v give_v they_o power_n to_o raise_v a_o army_n for_o this_o end_n and_o deny_v they_o mean_n to_o maintain_v the_o army_n so_o raise_v neither_o be_v the_o raise_n of_o the_o say_a army_n or_o the_o impose_v of_o contribution_n upon_o the_o subject_a for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o say_a army_n any_o way_n destructive_a to_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a since_o what_o be_v impose_v be_v but_o a_o reasonable_a contribution_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o that_o army_n which_o be_v employ_v against_o those_o that_o labour_n to_o destroy_v it_o and_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n as_o i_o have_v former_o prove_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a and_o foolish_a resolution_n which_o some_o man_n have_v take_v up_o pretend_v that_o they_o will_v not_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o the_o king_n nor_o assist_v the_o parliament_n against_o
