A48761	Animadversions on the Scotch covenant Wherein all may receive satisfaction as to the illegality of it, and be easily perswaded to the renunciation thereof. By J. L.	J. L.	1662 (1662)	Wing L26; ESTC R216515	18,797	31

be_v a_o contract_n between_o he_o and_o they_o contain_v condition_n mutual_o to_o be_v observe_v this_o he_o say_v but_o do_v not_o prove_v nor_o ever_o can_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o

obedient_a i_o conceive_v it_o be_v his_o own_o fancy_n for_o nothing_o be_v express_v and_o we_o never_o find_v their_o king_n under_o any_o condition_n but_o what_o they_o owe_v to_o god_n as_o for_o those_o other_o two_o which_o you_o mention_v in_o regard_n of_o law_n and_o in_o regard_n of_o government_n you_o only_o say_v it_o for_o first_o those_o law_n that_o be_v receive_v may_v be_v alter_v and_o it_o may_v be_v good_a that_o they_o be_v alter_v when_o they_o prove_v inconvenient_a and_o who_o can_v alter_v they_o but_o the_o king_n other_o may_v legem_fw-la rogare_fw-la but_o he_o only_o do_v legem_fw-la far_o and_o if_o he_o do_v make_v a_o law_n contrary_n to_o what_o be_v in_o use_n at_o such_o a_o time_n of_o his_o oath_n will_v you_o say_v he_o be_v a_o breaker_n of_o his_o oath_n by_o enact_v the_o contrary_a that_o be_v more_o advantageous_a how_o be_v he_o then_o limit_v by_o they_o any_o long_a than_o he_o shall_v find_v they_o beneficial_a to_o the_o people_n and_o in_o a_o word_n for_o all_o you_o blurt_n out_o against_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o government_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o place_v the_o supreme_a power_n either_o in_o one_o or_o few_o or_o many_o but_o it_o must_v be_v arbitrary_a therefore_o all_o arbitrary_a government_n be_v not_o tyrannical_a though_o you_o jumble_v they_o together_o and_o make_v they_o all_o one_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o 9_o page_n be_v it_o not_o arbitrary_a with_o that_o supreme_a power_n whether_o this_o shall_v continue_v a_o law_n or_o not_o but_o if_o you_o mean_v by_o arbitrary_a a_o arbitrary_a administration_n of_o justice_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n already_o make_v therein_o i_o suppose_v no_o king_n will_v assume_v to_o himself_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n for_o not_o to_o act_v by_o that_o rule_n which_o be_v at_o first_o the_o act_n of_o his_o own_o will_n be_v to_o contradict_v himself_o yet_o withal_o you_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o king_n may_v dispense_v with_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n by_o pardon_n and_o so_o moderate_a the_o rigour_n of_o it_o what_o you_o say_v of_o limitation_n in_o regard_n of_o government_n be_v little_a to_o the_o purpose_n for_o though_o the_o king_n govern_v not_o alone_o yet_o all_o else_o beside_o be_v to_o use_v the_o apostle_n phrase_n send_v by_o he_o and_o their_o power_n they_o have_v from_o he_o as_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o power_n what_o the_o author_n of_o defensio_fw-la regius_fw-la have_v write_v i_o suppose_v he_o be_v able_a to_o make_v good_a against_o a_o great_a giant_n
