occure_v to_o i_o further_o about_o the_o prerogative_n into_o one_o article_n i_o think_v it_o necessary_a the_o convention_n take_v to_o their_o serious_a consideration_n the_o king_n sole_a power_n of_o disposal_n of_o trade_n his_o power_n of_o set_v valuation_n on_o current_a money_n his_o power_n of_o the_o militia_n of_o peace_n and_o warr_n and_o raise_v the_o nation_n in_o arm_n as_o they_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o respective_a act_n thereanent_a as_o also_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o king_n establish_v instruction_n of_o war_n and_o thereby_o exempt_n soldier_n from_o the_o ordinary_a law_n and_o judicature_n we_o have_v see_v and_o feel_v grievous_a abuse_n in_o the_o nation_n from_o all_o these_o as_o i_o can_v instance_n but_o that_o i_o haste_v to_o a_o close_a and_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o my_o purpose_n that_o every_o think_v man_n upon_o a_o very_a little_a reflection_n will_v see_v such_o power_n may_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o arbitrary_a proceed_n in_o many_o case_n of_o high_a importance_n to_o the_o whole_a nation_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o adviseable_a or_o safe_a to_o divest_v the_o king_n whole_o of_o these_o power_n and_o reserve_v they_o to_o a_o parliament_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o all_o or_o most_o of_o they_o may_v be_v very_o necessary_a much_o often_o than_o we_o can_v expect_v or_o desire_v parliament_n &_o may_v tru_v with_o the_o reasonable_a interval_n of_o parliament_n neither_o do_v i_o think_v it_o possible_a to_o lay_v down_o fix_v rule_n that_o can_v continue_v useful_a for_o any_o time_n for_o the_o king_n managment_n of_o these_o power_n such_o be_v the_o inconstancy_n and_o vicissitude_n of_o humane_a affair_n the_o only_a medium_fw-la i_o can_v think_v on_o be_v that_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v restrict_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o these_o power_n to_o the_o advice_n and_o concurrence_n of_o a_o council_n or_o council_n to_o be_v name_v by_o the_o parliament_n out_o of_o the_o whole_a state_n this_o council_n may_v have_v their_o settle_a annual_a meeting_n or_o more_o frequent_a if_o needful_a and_o withal_o be_v oblige_v to_o conveen_n when_o upon_o any_o emergent_a the_o king_n shall_v call_v they_o but_o as_o for_o the_o militia_n since_o it_o be_v palpable_o useless_a to_o the_o crown_n and_o government_n and_o very_o heavy_a to_o the_o people_n i_o hope_v all_o will_v be_v unanimous_a to_o have_v it_o total_o discharge_v as_o for_o exempt_n soldier_n from_o the_o ordinary_a law_n and_o judge_n in_o cause_n civil_a or_o criminal_a betwixt_o they_o and_o other_o subject_n lest_o at_o it_o be_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n and_o there_o be_v no_o shadow_n of_o law_n or_o justice_n for_o it_o in_o this_o nation_n wherefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v discharge_v and_o declare_v illegal_a in_o all_o time_n come_v i_o doubt_v not_o ere_o you_o come_v this_o length_n you_o will_v be_v as_o weary_a in_o read_v this_o tedious_a and_o indigested_a

the_o stuff_n be_v course_n you_o have_v large_a enough_o measure_n already_o for_o a_o letter_n besides_o what_o be_v here_o omit_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o prop●r_a work_n of_o a_o parliament_n when_o

full_o persuade_v that_o if_o we_o give_v the_o crown_n to_o the_o king_n of_o england_n with_o as_o absolute_a unlimited_a a_o prerogative_n as_o ever_o any_o tyrant_n or_o sultan_n usurp_v yet_o our_o religion_n and_o law_n and_o every_o man_n liberty_n and_o property_n will_v be_v as_o secure_v to_o we_o under_o so_o brave_a generous_n pious_a and_o just_a a_o prince_n as_o they_o can_v be_v by_o all_o the_o provision_n we_o can_v devise_v for_o their_o security_n but_o it_o be_v uncertain_a how_o long_a god_n may_v bless_v we_o with_o he_o &_o who_o may_v come_v after_o he_o and_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o once_o the_o crown_n be_v settle_v and_o a_o set_v of_o officer_n of_o state_n and_o counselor_n establish_v our_o nobility_n and_o great_a minister_n have_v unhappy_o be_v so_o accustom_v to_o carry_v thing_n here_o with_o so_o high_a a_o hand_n they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o use_v all_o their_o interest_n to_o frustrate_v all_o project_n for_o such_o limitation_n of_o the_o prerogative_n foresee_v easy_o that_o thereby_o their_o hand_n will_v be_v more_o bind_v up_o then_o be_v usual_a and_o i_o doubt_v not_o if_o you_o will_v be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o observe_v
