a_o discourse_n between_o a_o resolve_a and_o a_o doubtful_a englishman_n resolve_v how_o now_o neighbour_n how_o be_v you_o now_o mind_a have_v you_o bring_v in_o your_o plate_n and_o money_n for_o assistance_n of_o the_o parliament_n against_o the_o opposer_n of_o their_o and_o our_o privilege_n doubtfuil_a i_o be_o not_o yet_o resolve_v yet_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o bear_v as_o good_a affection_n to_o my_o country_n and_o to_o the_o parliament_n and_o be_o as_o much_o a_o enemy_n to_o their_o opposer_n as_o you_o be_v be_v i_o satisfy_v of_o some_o scruple_n beget_v in_o i_o not_o by_o my_o own_o fancy_n but_o by_o expression_n of_o the_o parliament_n itself_o which_o if_o you_o do_v observe_v as_o i_o do_v i_o believe_v it_o will_v somewhat_o stagger_v your_o resolution_n resol_n what_o may_v those_o scruple_n be_v i_o see_v no_o cause_n at_o all_o doubt_n the_o parliament_n have_v declare_v the_o king_n to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o great_a council_n the_o parliament_n which_o to_o my_o understanding_n argue_v he_o to_o be_v a_o very_a considerable_a part_n thereof_o and_o you_o and_o i_o and_o all_o man_n see_v that_o no_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v ever_o make_v but_o by_o the_o king_n assent_n and_o if_o he_o assent_v not_o it_o be_v no_o act_n nor_o pass_v as_o a_o law_n to_o bind_v the_o people_n which_o prove_v to_o i_o that_o he_o have_v in_o all_o thing_n a_o negative_a voice_n which_o also_o the_o king_n claim_v by_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n resol_n by_o which_o rule_n if_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v prejudice_v by_o any_o new_a invent_a mischief_n and_o upon_o debate_n thereof_o in_o parliament_n the_o lord_n and_o commons_o both_o house_n agree_v upon_o a_o remedy_n yet_o if_o it_o suit_n not_o with_o the_o king_n mind_n the_o remedy_n shall_v not_o take_v place_n nor_o no_o law_n pass_v for_o removal_n of_o the_o mischief_n nay_o by_o this_o rule_n if_o former_a king_n in_o former_a parliament_n have_v obtain_v law_n for_o advance_v of_o prerogative_n and_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o people_n liberty_n the_o people_n be_v likely_a to_o lie_v long_o enough_o under_o the_o burden_n for_o king_n be_v not_o likely_a to_o remit_v any_o part_n of_o their_o prerogative_n nor_o to_o pass_v any_o law_n against_o themselves_o though_o both_o house_n shall_v conceive_v the_o same_o never_o ●o_o just_a and_o reasonable_a and_o so_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v for_o ever_o remain_v under_o prejudices_fw-la and_o intolerable_a grievance_n without_o hope_n of_o remedy_n doubt_n i_o pray_v what_o remedy_n have_v you_o resol_n suppose_v the_o king_n shall_v himself_o lay_v a_o foundation_n for_o arbitrary_a government_n and_o for_o that_o end_n strengthen_v himself_o by_o make_v a_o party_n throughout_o the_o kingdom_n suppose_v he_o shall_v raise_v force_n within_o and_o hire_v force_n from_o abroad_o and_o think_v his_o force_n sufficient_a shall_v call_v a_o parliament_n as_o hope_v to_o overawe_v they_o to_o make_v law_n suitable_a to_o his_o end_n but_o yet_o upon_o debate_n betwixt_o both_o house_n they_o shall_v conclude_v upon_o law_n quite_o contrary_a and_o destructive_a to_o his_o end_n when_o do_v you_o think_v the_o king_n will_v assent_v to_o those_o law_n doubt_n never_o resol_n and_o so_o the_o parliament_n shall_v have_v no_o mean_n to_o preserve_v themselves_o and_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n doubt_n the_o parliament_n have_v but_o the_o king_n be_v the_o head_n thereof_o and_o till_o his_o understanding_n and_o conscience_n be_v satisfy_v what_o can_v they_o do_v the_o king_n claim_v not_o a_o power_n of_o make_v law_n without_o they_o but_o deny_v they_o any_o power_n without_o he_o which_o be_v grant_v as_o necessary_o you_o must_v grant_v it_o he_o be_v head_n of_o the_o parliament_n i_o think_v you_o shall_v answer_v yourself_o and_o abate_v of_o your_o resolution_n resol_n you_o nor_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v ere_o persuade_v i_o that_o there_o be_v any_o prescribe_v for_o prejudices_fw-la in_o government_n and_o such_o by_o which_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v destroy_v as_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v when_o one_o man_n have_v a_o legal_a power_n to_o bind_v their_o hand_n which_o i_o can_v yet_o believe_v our_o forefather_n be_v wise_a than_o so_o they_o have_v not_o spend_v their_o blood_n so_o

of_o the_o parliament_n the_o mind_n of_o the_o parliament_n be_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o be_v so_o to_o be_v take_v and_o esteem_v and_o be_v never_o otherwise_o to_o be_v

late_o the_o king_n claim_n of_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o parliament_n have_v not_o be_v hear_v among_o we_o indeed_o since_o he_o have_v absent_v himself_o from_o white_a hall_n for_o there_o be_v his_o residence_n whilst_o the_o parliament_n sit_v the_o parliament_n be_v the_o parliament_n complete_a and_o the_o king_n the_o king_n and_o that_o he_o endeavour_v to_o make_v void_v all_o their_o

say_v till_o very_o late_o it_o be_v never_o hear_v that_o the_o king_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o parliament_n nor_o never_o have_v be_v i_o believe_v but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o stagger_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o i_o see_v it_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n that_o you_o and_o many_o other_o well_o affect_v to_o their_o country_n do_v not_o contribute_v that_o assistance_n which_o the_o justness_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o necessity_n of_o the_o time_n do_v require_v the_o king_n be_v the_o high_a magistrate_n a_o magistrate_n and_o officer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n he_o be_v but_o that_o any_o magistrate_n have_v any_o place_n in_o parliament_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o magistracy_n i_o do_v not_o conceive_v the_o king_n office_n be_v chief_o to_o oversee_v that_o officer_n or_o magistrate_n or_o judge_n do_v perform_v their_o duty_n according_a to_o law_n the_o business_n of_o the_o parliament_n be_v to_o oversee_v all_o magistrate_n and_o to_o take_v a_o

of_o right_n belong_v unto_o his_o prerogative_n the_o power_n of_o call_v of_o parliament_n without_o his_o writ_n they_o meet_v not_o and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v he_o have_v a_o negative_a

do_v proceed_v to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o supreme_a power_n which_o be_v it_o not_o their_o right_n they_o will_v not_o do_v and_o therefore_o for_o we_o to_o trouble_v they_o in_o your_o

be_v too_o dear_a to_o you_o to_o part_v withal_o though_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v perish_v for_o want_v thereof_o and_o be_o no_o whit_n doubtful_a but_o the_o kingdom_n will_v in_o short_a time_n
