supposition_n if_o the_o king_n in_o extraordinary_a danger_n will_v not_o yield_v to_o such_o a_o posture_n as_o the_o kingdom_n think_v most_o safe_a whether_o the_o parliament_n may_v not_o order_v

and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o vet_z the_o confidence_n and_o assurance_n of_o the_o people_n in_o time_n of_o distraction_n be_v more_o requisite_a than_o the_o king_n but_o in_o this_o new_a

be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o our_o late_a suffering_n but_o this_o prerogative_n be_v restrain_v what_o injury_n be_v likely_a to_o follow_v either_o to_o the_o king_n or_o state_n for_o in_o such_o restriction_n which_o be_v from_o great_a evil_n but_o from_o less_o good_a the_o king_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v difficult_a and_o in_o such_o restriction_n which_o may_v disable_v from_o good_a as_o well_o as_o evil_a the_o people_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v importunate_a but_o it_o be_v further_a object_v that_o by_o the_o same_o power_n parliament_n may_v disseise_v both_o the_o king_n and_o subject_n from_o their_o estate_n as_o they_o make_v ordinance_n for_o the_o militia_n but_o in_o truth_n be_v not_o this_o a_o strange_a result_n the_o parliament_n have_v power_n to_o do_v good_a

dangerous_a consequence_n to_o suppose_v that_o parliament_n will_v do_v any_o injustice_n it_o lose_v one_o of_o the_o firm_a ●inewes_n of_o law_n to_o admit_v it_o but_o to_o conclude_v that_o parliament_n can_v do_v such_o injustice_n as_o may_v oppress_v both_o king_n and_o people_n from_o who_o all_o their_o power_n be_v derive_v be_v unnatural_a and_o whereas_o the_o king_n claim_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o militia_n as_o legal_a and_o proper_a as_o we_o be_v in_o our_o land_n or_o tenement_n we_o must_v avoid_v mistake_n herein_o for_o in_o our_o good_n and_o inheritance_n we_o have_v not_o so_o pure_a and_o additional_a a_o right_n but_o that_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o common_a right_n also_o and_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o king_n possession_n be_v not_o
