can_v assemble_v together_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o such_o election_n so_o that_o these_o be_v the_o true_a representative_a body_n democraticall_a of_o this_o kingdom_n the_o lord_n be_v in_o nature_n of_o a_o body_n aristocratical_a and_o the_o king_n in_o form_n of_o a_o monarch_n and_o these_o three_o viz._n king_n lord_n and_o commons_o be_v in_o themselves_o so_o indifferent_o and_o exact_o compose_v without_o excess_n or_o defect_n ab_fw-la origine_fw-la that_o as_o soul_n and_o body_n make_v but_o one_o entire_a man_n so_o these_o three_o make_v but_o one_o entire_a power_n of_o government_n the_o which_o if_o defect_n or_o exorbitance_n shall_v not_o or_o do_v not_o distemper_v as_o disease_n do_v sometime_o the_o sound_a body_n be_v without_o any_o flattery_n or_o vainglorious_a praise_n the_o most_o excellent_a know_a form_n of_o government_n in_o the_o world_n 2._o this_o power_n aforesaid_a may_v enact_v any_o thing_n in_o beneficium_fw-la regni_fw-la for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v it_o general_a or_o special_a etc._n etc._n but_o this_o power_n in_o detrimentum_fw-la libertatis_fw-la aut_fw-la proprietatis_fw-la generalis_fw-la

reason_n be_v because_o the_o english_a be_v subditi_fw-la potius_fw-la quam_fw-la subjecti_fw-la such_o as_o have_v rather_o put_v themselves_o under_o a_o law_n by_o common_a consent_n then_o enforce_v to_o undergo_v a_o law_n wherefore_o i_o conceive_v the_o l._n digby_n to_o be_v great_o mistake_v who_o affirm_v that_o a_o king_n of_o england_n ensphere_v in_o his_o parliament_n be_v as_o absolute_a as_o any_o monarch_n of_o the_o east_n some_o monarch_n of_o the_o east_n can_v command_v to_o strangle_v one_o and_o he_o be_v strangle_v and_o to_o deprive_v another_o of_o his_o good_n or_o estate_n and_o he_o be_v deprive_v and_o this_o they_o can_v do_v ad_fw-la placitum_fw-la without_o show_v any_o cause_n but_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n in_o england_n can_v do_v so_o those_o monarch_n can_v and_o some_o of_o they_o have_v and_o do_v make_v law_n that_o all_o their_o subject_n estate_n shall_v be_v at_o their_o own_o disposall_n viz._n that_o like_a the_o

what_o they_o please_v all_o if_o they_o please_v ad_fw-la placitum_fw-la but_o in_o england_n the_o king_n and_o parliament_n can_v do_v so_o for_o the_o king_n as_o aforesaid_a be_v but_o in_o nature_n of_o high_a steward_n of_o the_o kingdom_n by_o inheritance_n and_o the_o parliament_n seoffee_n in_o trust_n and_o both_o tie_v by_o the_o great_a indenture_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la to_o conserve_v the_o general_a liberty_n and_o propriety_n of_o the_o people_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o since_o magna_n charta_n be_v confirm_v which_o upon_o the_o matter_n be_v but_o a_o abridgement_n or_o epitome_n of_o the_o liberty_n and_o right_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n before_o the_o conquest_n which_o liberty_n and_o right_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o natural_a reason_n when_o any_o king_n of_o england_n will_v have_v extraordinary_a supply_n from_o the_o people_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v convene_v the_o king_n have_v give_v or_o show_v some_o probable_a or_o seem_a reason_n why_o he_o desire_v or_o have_v need_n of_o such_o supply_n and_o the_o member_n of_o parliament_n i_o mean_v those_o of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o at_o their_o return_n to_o the_o place_n which_o entrust_v they_o have_v likewise_o show_v or_o manifest_v some_o general_a reason_n or_o cause_n to_o the_o people_n why_o such_o extraordinary_a

will_v give_v a_o great_a satisfaction_n so_o that_o neither_o king_n or_o parliament_n do_v at_o any_o time_n take_v ad_fw-la placitum_fw-la but_o ad_fw-la necessitatem_fw-la nor_o do_v the_o people_n otherwise_o grant_v any_o extraordinary_a supply_n of_o money_n 3._o but_o some_o it_o may_v be_v will_v object_v and_o say_v suppose_v the_o king_n and_o parliament_n shall_v make_v a_o

they_o please_v what_o they_o please_v all_o if_o they_o please_v ad_fw-la placitum_fw-la what_o remedy_n may_v the_o subject_n have_v i_o answer_v that_o for_o my_o part_n i_o suppose_v it_o almost_o impossible_a that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n shall_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n but_o admit_v of_o a_o kind_n of_o impossible_a possibility_n i_o answer_v further_o that_o in_o such_o case_n the_o county_n city_n and_o town_n corporate_a might_n and_o ought_v first_o to_o petition_n against_o so_o great_a a_o injury_n and_o if_o not_o remedy_v than_o they_o may_v declare_v and_o protest_v against_o such_o a_o act_n if_o violate_v than_o they_o may_v defend_v themselves_o by_o arm_n for_o if_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o kingdom_n may_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o kingdom_n raise_v arm_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o themselves_o and_o the_o kingdom_n may_v not_o the_o essential_a be_v not_o the_o cause_n more_o noble_a than_o the_o effect_n in_o that_o it_o give_v be_v to_o the_o effect_n do_v not_o the_o county_n city_n and_o town_n corporate_a give_v be_v or_o a_o well-being_n to_o the_o knight_n citizen_n and_o burgess_n by_o entrust_v their_o power_n judicial_a to_o they_o and_o yet_o by_o repose_v or_o grant_v such_o trust_n they_o do_v not_o disinvest_v themselves_o of_o their_o right_a natural_a no_o more_o than_o one_o that_o pass_v a_o estate_n to_o feoffee_n in_o trust_n for_o some_o cause_n and_o consideration_n disinve_v himself_o of_o the_o use_n intend_v or_o reserve_v so_o that_o they_o may_v defend_v their_o liberty_n and_o propriety_n even_o by_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o no_o special_a or_o nationall_n law_n can_v nullify_v unless_o man_n will_v become_v or_o be_v make_v slave_n and_o lose_v the_o right_n of_o nature_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v a_o axiom_n political_a ubi_fw-la nulla_fw-la protectio_fw-la ibi_fw-la nulla_fw-la subjectio_fw-la if_o therefore_o the_o king_n or_o parliament_n or_o king_n and_o

law_n political_a 4._o but_o some_o will_v far_o object_v that_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o county_n city_n and_o town_n corporate_a do_v intrust_v all_o their_o power_n both_o judicial_a and_o natural_a full_o and_o whole_o as_o it_o be_v to_o the_o knight_n citizens_z and_o burgess_n at_o their_o election_n promise_v and_o covenant_v to_o stand_v to_o all_o that_o they_o shall_v do_v in_o
