former_a i_o come_v now_o to_o those_o seven_o doctrine_n and_o position_n which_o the_o king_n by_o way_n of_o recapitulation_n lay_v open_a as_o so_o offensive_a and_o they_o run_v thus_o 1._o that_o the_o parliament_n have_v a_o absolute_a indisputable_a power_n of_o declare_v law_n so_o that_o all_o the_o right_a of_o the_o king_n and_o people_n depend_v upon_o their_o pleasure_n it_o have_v be_v answer_v that_o this_o power_n must_v rest_v in_o they_o or_o in_o the_o king_n or_o in_o some_o inferior_a court_n or_o else_o all_o suit_n must_v be_v endless_a and_o it_o can_v nowhere_o rest_n more_o safe_o then_o in_o parliament_n 2._o that_o parliament_n be_v bind_v to_o no_o precedent_n statute_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o they_o why_o then_o shall_v precedent_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o obligation_n strong_a than_o the_o justice_n and_o honour_n of_o a_o parliament_n 3._o that_o they_o be_v parliament_n and_o may_v judge_v of_o public_a necessity_n without_o the_o king_n and_o dispose_v of_o anything_o they_o may_v not_o desert_v the_o king_n but_o be_v desert_v by_o the_o king_n when_o the_o kingdom_n be_v in_o distress_n they_o may_v judge_v of_o that_o distress_n and_o relieve_v it_o and_o be_v to_o be_v account_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o representation_n as_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o state_n 4._o that_o no_o member_n of_o parliament_n ought_v to_o be_v trouble_v for_o treason_n etc._n etc._n without_o leave_n this_o be_v intend_v of_o suspicion_n only_o and_o when_o leave_n may_v be_v seasonable_o have_v and_o when_o competent_a accuser_n appear_v not_o in_o the_o impeachment_n 5._o that_o the_o sovereign_a power_n reside_v in_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n the_o king_n have_v no_o negative_a voice_n this_o power_n be_v not_o claim_v as_o ordinary_a nor_o to_o any_o purpose_n but_o to_o save_v the_o kingdom_n from_o ruin_n and_o in_o case_n where_o the_o king_n be_v so_o seduce_v as_o that_o he_o prefer_v dangerous_a man_n and_o prosecute_v his_o loyal_a subject_n 6._o that_o levy_v force_n against_o the_o personal_a command_n of_o the_o king_n though_o accompany_v with_o his_o presence_n be_v not_o levy_v war_n against_o the_o king_n but_o war_n against_o his_o authority_n though_o not_o person_n be_v war_n against_o the_o king_n if_o this_o be_v not_o so_o the_o parliament_n see_v a_o seduce_a king_n ruin_v himself_o and_o the_o kingdom_n can_v not_o save_v both_o but_o must_v stand_v and_o look_v on_o 7._o that_o according_a to_o some_o parliament_n they_o may_v depose_v the_o king_n it_o be_v deny_v that_o any_o king_n be_v depose_v by_o a_o free_a parliament_n fair_o elect_v to_o stand_v in_o comparison_n with_o these_o i_o shall_v recite_v some_o such_o position_n as_o the_o king_n paper_n offer_v to_o we_o and_o they_o follow_v thus_o 1._o that_o regal_a power_n be_v so_o derive_v from_o god_n and_o the_o law_n as_o that_o it_o have_v no_o dependence_n upon_o the_o trust_n and_o consent_n of_o man_n and_o the_o king_n be_v accountable_a therefore_o to_o god_n and_o his_o other_o kingdom_n not_o to_o this_o and_o it_o be_v above_o the_o determination_n of_o parliament_n and_o by_o consequence_n boundless_a 2._o that_o the_o king_n be_v supreme_a indefinite_o viz._n as_o well_o universis_fw-la as_o singulis_fw-la 3._o that_o the_o king_n have_v such_o a_o propriety_n in_o his_o subject_n town_n fort_n etc._n etc._n as_o be_v above_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o state_n and_o not_o to_o be_v seize_v by_o the_o parliament_n though_o for_o the_o public_a safety_n 4._o that_o so_o far_o as_o the_o king_n be_v trust_v he_o be_v not_o accountable_a how_o he_o perform_v so_o that_o in_o all_o case_n the_o subject_n be_v remediless_a 5._o that_o the_o being_n of_o parliament_n be_v mere_o of_o grace_n so_o that_o the_o king_n may_v just_o have_v discontinue_v they_o and_o be_v summon_v they_o be_v limit_v by_o the_o writ_n and_o that_o ad_fw-la consilium_fw-la only_a and_o that_o but_o in_o quibusdam_fw-la arduis_fw-la and_o if_o they_o pass_v the_o limit_n of_o the_o writ_n they_o may_v be_v imprison_v that_o if_o the_o king_n desert_n they_o they_o be_v a_o void_a assembly_n and_o no_o honour_n due_a to_o they_o nor_o power_n to_o save_v the_o kingdom_n that_o parliamentary_a privilege_n be_v nowhere_o to_o be_v read_v of_o and_o so_o their_o representation_n of_o this_o whole_a kingdom_n be_v no_o privilege_n nor_o add_v no_o majesty_n nor_o authority_n to_o they_o that_o the_o major_a part_n in_o parliament_n be_v not_o considerable_a when_o so_o many_o be_v absent_a or_o dissent_v that_o the_o major_a part_n be_v no_o major_a part_n because_o the_o fraud_n and_o force_n of_o some_o few_o overrule_v they_o that_o parliament_n may_v do_v dishonourable_a thing_n nay_o treasonable_a nay_o that_o this_o have_v be_v so_o blind_v by_o some_o few_o malignant_n that_o they_o have_v abet_v treason_n in_o sir_n john_n hotham_n trample_v upon_o all_o law_n and_o the_o king_n prerogative_n and_o seek_v to_o enslave_v the_o whole_a kingdom_n under_o the_o tyranny_n of_o some_o few_o and_o seek_v the_o betray_n of_o church_n and_o state_n and_o to_o the_o same_o erect_v a_o upstart_n authority_n in_o the_o new_a militia_n and_o levy_v war_n upon_o the_o king_n under_o pretence_n that_o he_o levy_z war_n upon_o they_o that_o parliament_n can_v declare_v law_n but_o in_o such_o and_o such_o particular_a case_n legal_o bring_v before_o they_o that_o parliament_n be_v questionable_a and_o tryable_a elsewhere_o these_o thing_n we_o all_o see_v tend_v not_o only_o to_o the_o desolation_n of_o this_o parliament_n but_o to_o the_o confusion_n of_o all_o other_o and_o to_o the_o advance_n of_o the_o king_n to_o a_o high_a power_n over_o parliament_n than_o ever_o he_o have_v before_o over_o inferior_a court_n parliament_n have_v hitherto_o be_v sanctuary_n to_o the_o people_n and_o bank_n against_o arbitrary_a tyranny_n but_o now_o the_o mere_a breath_n of_o the_o king_n blast_v they_o in_o a_o instant_n and_o how_o shall_v they_o hereafter_o secure_v we_o when_o they_o can_v now_o secure_v themselves_o or_o how_o can_v we_o expect_v justice_n when_o the_o mere_a imputation_n of_o treason_n without_o hear_v trial_n or_o judgement_n shall_v sweep_v away_o a_o whole_a parliament_n nay_o all_o
