true_o say_v that_o a_o few_o of_o those_o many_o evil_n that_o our_o king_n have_v act_v be_v judge_v capital_a in_o several_a of_o his_o predecessor_n we_o read_v indeed_o of_o some_o of_o his_o

want_n of_o change_n or_o remorse_n which_o they_o complain_v of_o in_o the_o king_n the_o fault_n they_o here_o lay_v to_o his_o charge_n he_o will_v confess_v be_v he_o guilty_a of_o it_o he_o have_v cause_n to_o abhor_v himself_o in_o dust_n and_o ash_n but_o he_o will_v deny_v their_o supposition_n and_o that_o he_o intend_v no_o slavery_n in_o people_n nor_o absoluteness_n in_o himself_o but_o defence_n of_o himself_o and_o those_o of_o his_o people_n that_o crave_v his_o protection_n in_o their_o legal_a right_n and_o his_o error_n be_v to_o be_v jealous_a of_o those_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v confide_v in_o and_o from_o this_o error_n have_v grow_v these_o sad_a consequence_n but_o so_o long_o as_o the_o army_n go_v on_o with_o such_o declaration_n they_o will_v free_v he_o from_o error_n justify_v his_o jealousy_n countenance_n his_o defence_n but_o yet_o near_o for_o the_o justice_n of_o accommodation_n with_o the_o king_n without_o trial_n or_o punishment_n i_o think_v it_o rest_v in_o this_o when_o the_o law_n acquit_v civil_a judge_n may_v acquit_v but_o the_o law_n acquit_v the_o person_n of_o our_o king_n therefore_o civil_a judge_n may_v you_o confess_v such_o maxim_n as_o give_v absolute_a impunity_n to_o king_n and_o that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n be_v find_v in_o law-book_n though_o you_o say_v as_o heireloome_n of_o

of_o the_o king_n because_o its_o a_o infringe_n of_o a_o legal_a privilege_n i_o may_v add_v such_o judiciary_n proceed_v against_o or_o without_o law_n will_v not_o stand_v with_o their_o oath_n that_o have_v swear_v to_o maintain_v law_n and_o legal_a right_n of_o all_o but_o pag._n 50._o they_o say_v they_o can_v see_v how_o it_o may_v stand_v with_o justice_n to_o punish_v the_o minister_n and_o let_v the_o head_n go_v free_a nay_o they_o further_o say_v what_o ever_o ground_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o exempt_v king_n from_o humane_a justice_n or_o excuse_v they_o when_o they_o wilful_o give_v commission_n etc._n etc._n the_o same_o reason_n will_v serve_v to_o absolve_v and_o indempuifie_v their_o minister_n etc._n etc._n at_o least_o they_o say_v they_o will_v fain_o hear_v one_o principle_n for_o the_o one_o which_o will_v not_o by_o rational_a deduction_n extend_v to_o the_o other_o i_o answer_v first_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o in_o evil_a thing_n he_o that_o give_v the_o commission_n and_o command_v be_v deep_a in_o trangression_n so_o on_o their_o supposition_n a_o king_n must_v deserve_v more_o blame_n and_o punishment_n than_o his_o instrument_n but_o than_o second_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o humane_a law_n and_o penalty_n look_v at_o safety_n as_o well_o as_o demerit_n now_o to_o punish_v a_o king_n be_v like_a to_o set_v all_o on_o a_o flame_n and_o so_o to_o endanger_v the_o weal_n public_a therefore_o though_o their_o guilt_n be_v great_a yet_o they_o be_v leave_v to_o god_n to_o avoid_v inconvenience_n but_o now_o minister_n deserve_v punishment_n though_o not_o so_o much_o and_o the_o punishment_n of_o they_o may_v free_v the_o common_a wealth_n from_o danger_n for_o future_a for_o if_o the_o king_n can_v have_v no_o instrument_n he_o can_v do_v no_o mischief_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n about_o the_o justice_n of_o accommodation_n let_v i_o ask_v they_o this_o question_n have_v they_o not_o read_v what_o david_n do_v in_o his_o civil_a war_n both_o with_o ishbosheth_n and_o absalon_n close_n they_o up_o without_o any_o trial_n or_o execution_n though_o much_o blond_n be_v shed_v in_o both_o and_o if_o

of_o a_o king_n and_o his_o posterity_n have_v not_o prove_v the_o fatal_a cause_n of_o endless_a civil_a war_n and_o whether_o that_o be_v not_o as_o destructive_a to_o public_a interest_n as_o any_o
