be_v understand_v that_o maxim_n in_o our_o common_a law_n that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n since_o the_o law_n be_v his_o public_a will_n the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o act_v by_o that_o though_o the_o prince_n at_o some_o time_n shall_v command_v he_o to_o act_v otherwise_o i_o hope_v i_o need_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o happiness_n of_o this_o nation_n consist_v in_o the_o king_n just_a government_n and_o the_o people_n due_a subjection_n when_o there_o be_v no_o misunderstanding_n between_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o people_n but_o each_o concur_v to_o make_v the_o commonwealth_n happy_a now_o this_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n depend_v upon_o judge_n who_o not_o only_o assist_v at_o the_o make_v and_o pen_v of_o all_o law_n but_o be_v to_o hear_v and_o determine_v controversy_n between_o the_o prince_n and_o his_o liege_n people_n for_o though_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o press_v home_o obedience_n to_o lawful_a authority_n it_o be_v the_o judge_n who_o be_v to_o tell_v we_o what_o obedience_n be_v due_a and_o they_o proper_o and_o not_o divine_n be_v to_o determine_v point_n of_o this_o nature_n it_o be_v not_o for_o divine_v say_v the_o

of_o the_o law_n of_o their_o respective_a country_n and_o be_v therefore_o presume_v to_o be_v the_o best_a able_a to_o judge_v the_o one_o by_o constitution_n in_o who_o the_o sovereignity_n

their_o oath_n and_o duty_n to_o right_v the_o party_n according_a to_o law_n against_o the_o king_n as_o well_o as_o against_o his_o mean_a subject_n now_o if_o they_o be_v corrupt_v and_o through_o
