a_o answer_n to_o the_o poysonous_n seditious_a paper_n of_o mr._n david_n jenkins_n by_o h._n p._n barrister_n of_o lincoln_n inn._n london_n print_v for_o robert_n bostock_n dwell_v at_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o king_n head_n in_o paul_n churchyard_n 1647._o a_o answer_n to_o the_o poysonous_n seditious_a paper_n of_o mr._n david_n jenkins_n mr._n david_n jenkins_n in_o his_o paper_n of_o the_o 29_o of_o april_n last_o lay_v most_o odious_a charge_n upon_o the_o parliament_n and_o consequent_o upon_o all_o that_o have_v adhere_v to_o the_o parliament_n in_o this_o war_n and_o lest_o these_o his_o desperate_a infusion_n shall_v not_o work_v powerful_o enough_o upon_o the_o vulgar_a he_o be_v a_o ancient_a practiser_n in_o the_o law_n and_o promote_v to_o the_o title_n of_o a_o judge_n he_o cite_v book_n case_n against_o the_o two_o house_n and_o seem_v forward_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n in_o the_o cause_n his_o 1._o argument_n run_v thus_o the_o parliament_n not_o have_v the_o king_n writ_n patent_n or_o commission_n can_v do_v so_o much_o as_o examine_v any_o man_n but_o the_o parliament_n have_v not_o the_o king_n writ_n etc._n etc._n ergo_fw-la his_o minor_fw-la be_v confirm_v thus_o if_o the_o king_n power_n remain_v sole_o in_o himself_o and_o be_v not_o virtual_o present_a in_o the_o two_o house_n than_o they_o can_v pretend_v his_o writ_n patent_n or_o commission_n but_o the_o king_n power_n be_v in_o himself_o and_o not_o virtual_o in_o the_o two_o house_n ergo_fw-la that_o the_o parliament_n have_v no_o virtual_a power_n he_o prove_v thus_o 1._o if_o the_o parliament_n have_v in_o they_o the_o king_n virtual_a power_n they_o need_v not_o desire_v the_o king_n ratification_n they_o need_v not_o send_v any_o proposition_n to_o he_o but_o now_o they_o send_v proposition_n ergo_fw-la this_o virtual_a power_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a fiction_n 2._o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o king_n power_n be_v separable_a from_o his_o person_n be_v by_o the_o law_n adjudge_v high_a treason_n but_o if_o the_o parliament_n say_v the_o king_n power_n be_v virtual_o in_o they_o than_o they_o separate_v it_o from_o his_o person_n ergo_fw-la 3._o if_o none_o can_v pardon_v felony_n or_o treason_n except_o the_o king_n none_o have_v the_o virtual_a power_n of_o the_o king_n but_o none_o can_v pardon_v except_o the_o king_n ergo_fw-la 4._o if_o the_o king_n be_v in_o no_o condition_n to_o govern_v than_o he_o be_v in_o no_o condition_n to_o derive_v virtual_a power_n but_o etc._n etc._n 5._o if_o none_o can_v sit_v in_o parliament_n but_o he_o must_v first_o swear_v that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n over_o all_o person_n in_o all_o cause_n then_o no_o member_n of_o the_o parliament_n nor_o the_o whole_a parliament_n can_v suppose_v he_o or_o themselves_o superior_a to_o the_o king_n but_o none_o can_v sit_v in_o parliament_n etc._n etc._n ergo_fw-la 6._o if_o no_o act_n of_o parliament_n bind_v the_o subject_n without_o the_o king_n assent_n than_o there_o be_v no_o virtual_a power_n in_o the_o parliament_n without_o the_o king_n assent_n but_o no_o act_n bind_v etc._n etc._n ergo_fw-la out_o of_o these_o premise_n which_o this_o grave_a gentleman_n judge_n to_o be_v irrefragable_a he_o conclude_v that_o the_o parliament_n deny_v the_o king_n to_o be_v supreme_a governor_n nay_o to_o be_v any_o governor_n at_o all_o in_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v no_o point_n of_o government_n he_o say_v but_o the_o parliament_n for_o some_o year_n past_a have_v take_v to_o themselves_o use_v the_o king_n name_n only_o to_o abuse_v and_o deceive_v the_o people_n he_o say_v further_a the_o parliament_n pretend_v against_o the_o king_n because_o that_o he_o have_v leave_v the_o great_a counsel_n and_o yet_o the_o king_n desire_v to_o come_v to_o his_o great_a counsel_n but_o can_v because_o he_o be_v by_o they_o keep_v prisoner_n at_o holmby_n last_o he_o say_v the_o house_n be_v guilty_a of_o perjury_n as_o well_o as_o of_o cheat_v the_o people_n and_o rebel_n against_o the_o king_n in_o asmuch_o as_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o swear_v he_o to_o be_v only_o supreme_a governor_n and_o declare_v he_o to_o be_v in_o no_o condition_n to_o govern_v how_o easy_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v answer_v and_o refute_v let_v the_o world_n see_v for_o 1._o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o the_o parliament_n sit_v by_o the_o king_n writ_n nay_o if_o statute_n law_n be_v great_a than_o the_o king_n writ_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o the_o parliament_n sit_v or_o aught_o to_o sit_v by_o something_o great_a than_o the_o king_n writ_n and_o if_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o parliament_n sit_v by_o the_o king_n writ_n but_o do_v not_o act_n by_o the_o king_n writ_n than_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o parliament_n be_v a_o void_a vain_a court_n and_o sit_v to_o no_o purpose_n nay_o it_o must_v also_o follow_v that_o the_o parliament_n be_v of_o less_o authority_n and_o of_o less_o use_n than_o any_o other_o inferior_a court_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o king_n power_n to_o control_v other_o court_n or_o to_o prevent_v they_o from_o sit_v or_o act_v 2._o this_o be_v a_o gross_a non_fw-la sequitur_fw-la the_o king_n power_n be_v in_o himself_o ergo_fw-la it_o be_v not_o derive_v to_o nor_o do_v reside_v virtual_o in_o the_o parliament_n for_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n remain_v embody_a and_o unexhausted_a in_o the_o globe_n of_o the_o sun_n at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o it_o be_v diffuse_v and_o display_v through_o all_o the_o body_n of_o the_o air_n and_o who_o see_v not_o that_o the_o king_n without_o empty_v himself_o give_v commission_n daily_o of_o oier_fw-fr and_o terminer_n to_o other_o which_o yet_o he_o himself_o can_v neither_o frustrate_v nor_o elude_v but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o conceive_v it_o be_v a_o great_a error_n to_o infer_v that_o the_o parliament_n have_v only_o the_o king_n power_n because_o it_o have_v the_o king_n power_n in_o it_o for_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o the_o parliament_n do_v both_o sit_v and_o act_v by_o concurrent_a power_n devolve_v both_o from_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n and_o this_o in_o some_o thing_n be_v more_o obvious_a and_o apparent_a then_o in_o other_o for_o by_o what_o power_n do_v the_o parliament_n grant_v subsedye_n to_o the_o king_n if_o only_o by_o the_o power_n which_o the_o king_n give_v than_o the_o king_n may_v take_v subsedy_n without_o any_o grant_n from_o the_o parliament_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o by_o a_o power_n which_o the_o people_n give_v to_o the_o parliament_n then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o parliament_n have_v a_o power_n give_v both_o by_o king_n and_o kingdom_n 3._o the_o send_a proposition_n to_o the_o king_n and_o desire_v his_o concurrence_n be_v scarce_o worth_a a_o answer_n for_o subject_n may_v humble_o petition_v for_o that_o which_o be_v their_o strict_a right_n and_o property_n nay_o it_o may_v sometime_o beseem_v a_o superior_a to_o prefer_v a_o suit_n to_o a_o inferior_a for_o matter_n in_o themselves_o due_a god_n himself_o have_v not_o utter_o disdain_v to_o beseech_v his_o own_o miserable_a impious_a unworthy_a creature_n beside_o it_o be_v not_o our_o tenet_n that_o the_o king_n have_v no_o power_n because_o he_o have_v not_o all_o power_n nor_o that_o the_o king_n can_v at_o all_o promote_v our_o happiness_n because_o he_o have_v no_o just_a claim_n to_o procure_v our_o ruin_n 4._o we_o affirm_v not_o that_o the_o king_n power_n be_v separate_v from_o his_o person_n so_o as_o the_o two_o spenser_n affirm_v neither_o do_v we_o frame_v conclusion_n out_o of_o that_o separation_n as_o the_o two_o spenser_n do_v either_o that_o the_o king_n may_v be_v remove_v for_o misdemenour_n or_o reform_a per_fw-la aspertee_n or_o that_o the_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o govern_v in_o aid_n of_o he_o we_o only_o say_v that_o his_o power_n be_v distinguishable_a from_o his_o person_n and_o when_o he_o himself_o make_v a_o distinction_n betwixt_o they_o command_v one_o thing_n by_o his_o legal_a writ_n court_n and_o officer_n and_o command_v another_o thing_n extrajudicial_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n letter_n or_o minister_n we_o be_v to_o obey_v his_o power_n rather_o than_o his_o person_n 5._o we_o take_v not_o from_o the_o king_n all_o power_n of_o pardon_v delinquent_n we_o only_o say_v it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o he_o quarto_fw-la modo_fw-la for_o if_o the_o king_n pardon_v he_o which_o have_v murder_v my_o son_n his_o pardon_n shall_v not_o cut_v i_o off_o from_o my_o appeal_n and_o it_o be_v more_o unreasonable_a that_o the_o king_n pardon_v shall_v make_v a_o whole_a state_n which_o have_v suffer_v remediless_a than_o any_o private_a man_n so_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v deny_v indemnity_n to_o those_o which_o in_o the_o fury_n of_o war_n have_v do_v thing_n unjustifiable_a by_o the_o law_n of_o peace_n and_o thereby_o keep_v the_o wound_n of_o the_o state_n from_o be_v bind_v up_o it_o be_v equitable_a that_o a_o act_n of_o indemnity_n shall_v be_v make_v forcible_a another_o way_n and_o if_o this_o will_v not_o hold_v yet_o this_o be_v no_o good_a consequence_n the_o king_n be_v absolute_a in_o point_n of_o pardon_n therefore_o he_o be_v absolute_a in_o all_o thing_n else_o and_o the_o parliament_n have_v no_o power_n to_o discharge_v delinquencye_n therefore_o it_o have_v no_o power_n in_o other_o matter_n 6._o the_o parliament_n have_v declare_v the_o king_n to_o be_v in_o no_o condition_n to_o govern_v but_o this_o must_v not_o be_v interpret_v rigid_o and_o without_o a_o distinction_n for_o if_o the_o king_n with_o his_o sword_n draw_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o pursue_v the_o parliament_n and_o their_o adherent_n as_o rebel_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o all_o act_n of_o government_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o hereby_o insinuate_v that_o he_o be_v divest_v of_o the_o habit_n or_o right_n of_o govern_v if_o he_o be_v unqualify_v now_o he_o be_v not_o unqualify_v for_o the_o future_a if_o he_o may_v not_o do_v thing_n destructive_a to_o the_o parliament_n he_o be_v not_o bar_v from_o return_v to_o the_o

indeed_o paramount_a to_o the_o law_n itself_o if_o he_o be_v above_o all_o law_n or_o liable_a to_o no_o restraint_n of_o our_o law_n than_o we_o be_v no_o free_a than_o the_o french_a or_o the_o
