consider_v object_n the_o king_n may_v have_v dissolve_v this_o parliament_n and_o call_v a_o new_a within_o the_o year_n and_o therefore_o these_o statute_n may_v have_v be_v observe_v notwithstanding_o the_o prorogation_n ansu._n this_o be_v a_o clear_a confession_n of_o the_o invalidity_n of_o the_o prorogation_n since_o it_o be_v allow_v those_o statute_n will_v not_o be_v pursue_v unless_o the_o prorogation_n be_v annul_v and_o the_o parliament_n that_o subsist_v by_o it_o dissolve_v neither_o do_v the_o king_n power_n to_o remedy_v it_o by_o another_o act_n support_v the_o validity_n of_o this_o for_o than_o no_o act_n of_o the_o king_n though_o never_o so_o much_o against_o law_n but_o may_v be_v as_o well_o justify_v he_o have_v power_n leave_v in_o he_o to_o remedy_v it_o if_o he_o think_v fit_a which_o be_v a_o excellent_a way_n of_o render_v our_o law_n arbitrary_a and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o crown_n absolute_a object_n the_o king_n have_v frequent_o by_o short_a prorogation_n and_o adjournment_n intermit_v parliament_n for_o several_a year_n which_o be_v the_o same_o as_o if_o he_o have_v prorogue_v they_o at_o once_o for_o so_o long_a time_n

it_o be_v very_o true_a it_o be_v as_o much_o a_o part_n of_o the_o statute_n that_o mischief_n and_o grievance_n shall_v be_v redress_v at_o the_o parliament_n as_o that_o a_o parliament_n shall_v be_v hold_v yet_o nevertheless_o though_o a_o king_n hereafter_o or_o in_o time_n past_a have_v or_o shall_v de_fw-fr facto_fw-la by_o short_a prorogation_n evade_v the_o force_n and_o intent_n of_o

repeal_v those_o law_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o law_n do_v in_o such_o case_n put_v the_o king_n to_o renew_v his_o act_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o under_o a_o fresh_a consideration_n year_n book_n

for_o more_o than_o a_o year_n be_v utter_o void_a so_o the_o king_n can_v grant_v a_o exception_n to_o one_o single_a person_n from_o serve_v in_o jury_n and_o so_o to_o as_o many_o single_a person_n

may_v as_o well_o say_v the_o king_n need_v never_o call_v a_o parliament_n because_o he_o can_v by_o law_n annual_o hold_v a_o parliament_n for_o two_o or_o three_o day_n and_o then_o end_v they_o
