A35931	The royalist's defence vindicating the King's proceedings in the late warre made against him, clearly discovering, how and by what impostures the incendiaries of these distractions have subverted the knowne law of the land, the Protestant religion, and reduced the people to an unparallel'd slavery.	Dallison, Charles, d. 1669.	1648 (1648)	Wing D138; ESTC R5148	119,595	156

king_n right_a beside_o it_o be_v resolve_v in_o our_o book_n of_o law_n that_o if_o all_o the_o people_n of_o england_n shall_v break_v a_o league_n with_o a_o foreign_a prince_n without_o 4_o the_o

insolent_a boldness_n call_v he_o to_o testify_v nay_o affirm_v that_o god_n in_o this_o point_n of_o the_o militia_n have_v give_v his_o verdict_n for_o they_o and_o against_o the_o king_n which_o themselves_o do_v not_o only_o know_v but_o have_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o king_n right_o and_o have_v with_o this_o semblance_n of_o sanctity_n prepare_v the_o people_n with_o this_o forge_a

in_o the_o member_n the_o people_n be_v if_o we_o may_v believe_v they_o secure_v from_o harm_n but_o of_o their_o own_o show_v the_o express_a contrary_n appear_v first_o they_o tell_v we_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n the_o king_n have_v not_o power_n by_o himself_o alone_o to_o tax_v or_o impose_v payment_n of_o money_n upon_o the_o subject_a therefore_o say_v they_o mark_v this_o consequence_n so_o long_o as_o the_o law_n be_v therein_o observe_v the_o king_n have_v of_o the_o militia_n be_v not_o effectual_a to_o the_o kingdom_n hence_o it_o follow_v by_o the_o member_n own_o argument_n that_o if_o the_o king_n have_v a_o arbitrary_a power_n than_o the_o militia_n be_v his_o own_o so_o that_o by_o the_o member_n doctrine_n none_o but_o tyrant_n have_v title_n to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n which_o i_o confess_v be_v a_o foundation_n apt_o lay_v for_o their_o own_o structure_n all_o the_o world_n will_v witness_v for_o they_o that_o in_o point_n of_o tyranny_n the_o malice_n of_o man_n with_o the_o advice_n and_o assistance_n of_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n can_v outstrip_v they_o let_v the_o member_n search_v history_n and_o story_n precedent_n and_o example_n from_o the_o first_o creation_n until_o this_o parliament_n and_o not_o only_o of_o this_o nation_n but_o throughout_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o i_o defy_v the_o most_o vigilant_a among_o they_o to_o find_v one_o tyrannical_a act_n which_o these_o member_n since_o their_o usurpation_n upon_o the_o king_n have_v not_o do_v or_o audatious_o claim_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n to_o have_v power_n to_o execute_v thus_o appear_v the_o different_a condition_n of_o the_o people_n concern_v the_o militia_n under_o the_o king_n government_n and_o this_o under_o the_o member_n by_o that_o under_o the_o king_n whilst_o the_o people_n submit_v unto_o their_o lawful_a superior_n and_o obey_v the_o just_a sentence_n of_o law_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n for_o the_o king_n neither_o have_v nor_o claim_v authority_n by_o the_o militia_n to_o force_v his_o subject_n to_o make_v payment_n of_o money_n or_o to_o do_v any_o one_o thing_n more_o or_o otherwise_o then_o the_o know_a law_n command_v we_o be_v not_o govern_v by_o the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n but_o under_o he_o according_a as_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n direct_v and_o the_o use_n of_o the_o militia_n be_v no_o other_o than_o to_o preserve_v the_o law_n and_o therefore_o in_o case_n of_o disobedience_n to_o compel_v submission_n thereunto_o wherein_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n that_o be_v the_o militia_n be_v as_o necessary_a as_o the_o law_n itself_o for_o as_o the_o people_n can_v be_v protect_v in_o their_o person_n life_n or_o estate_n without_o the_o law_n so_o that_o law_n be_v fruitless_a where_o there_o want_v power_n to_o put_v it_o in_o execution_n hence_o it_o follow_v even_o by_o reason_n itself_o that_o he_o who_o have_v the_o sovereign_a power_n of_o government_n have_v as_o a_o incident_a inseparable_a unto_o it_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n and_o by_o our_o law_n the_o king_n have_v the_o sovereignty_n from_o he_o as_o before_o appear_v be_v due_a to_o the_o people_n protection_n of_o their_o person_n and_o estate_n that_o by_o 7._o the_o law_n of_o england_n be_v employ_v in_o the_o word_n king_n and_o so_o the_o word_n subject_a imply_v a_o duty_n in_o the_o people_n to_o assist_v their_o king_n and_o as_o this_o duty_n be_v reciprocal_a between_o king_n and_o subject_a so_o the_o performance_n thereof_o be_v equal_o beneficial_a to_o both_o and_o if_o either_o fail_v in_o their_o duty_n both_o king_n and_o people_n be_v destroy_v therefore_o to_o deny_v our_o king_n the_o militia_n of_o the_o realm_n be_v no_o less_o a_o absurdity_n then_o to_o appoint_v a_o general_n of_o a_o army_n with_o command_n to_o fight_v a_o approach_a enemy_n and_o to_o deny_v that_o general_n use_v of_o arm_n and_o power_n to_o command_v his_o soldier_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o give_v
