this_o judgement_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o this_o judgement_n have_v abolish_v parliament_n this_o imposition_n of_o ship-money_n spring_v from_o a_o pretend_a necessity_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o that_o it_o be_v grow_v annual_a but_o he_o must_v entail_v it_o upon_o the_o state_n for_o ever_o at_o once_o make_v necessity_n inherent_a to_o the_o crown_n and_o slavery_n to_o the_o subject_a necessity_n which_o dissolve_v all_o law_n be_v so_o much_o more_o prejudicial_a to_o his_o majesty_n than_o to_o any_o of_o we_o by_o how_o much_o the_o law_n have_v invest_v his_o royal_a state_n with_o a_o great_a power_n and_o ample_a fortune_n for_o so_o undoubted_a a_o truth_n it_o have_v ever_o be_v that_o king_n as_o well_o as_o subject_n be_v involve_v in_o the_o confusion_n which_o necessity_n produce_v that_o the_o heathen_a think_v their_o god_n also_o oblige_v by_o the_o same_o pareamus_fw-la necessitati_fw-la quam_fw-la nec_fw-la homines_fw-la nec_fw-la dii_fw-la superant_fw-la this_o judge_n then_o have_v in_o his_o charge_n at_o the_o assize_n declare_v the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o law_n by_o this_o suppose_a necessity_n with_o what_o conscience_n can_v he_o at_o the_o same_o assize_n proceed_v to_o condemn_v and_o punish_v man_n unless_o perhaps_o he_o mean_v the_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n for_o our_o destruction_n and_o not_o for_o our_o preservation_n that_o it_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o kill_v but_o none_o to_o protect_v we_o a_o thing_n no_o less_o horrid_a than_o if_o the_o sun_n shall_v burn_v without_o light_v we_o or_o the_o earth_n serve_v only_o to_o bury_v and_o not_o feed_v and_o nourish_v we_o but_o my_o lord_n to_o demonstrate_v that_o this_o be_v a_o supposititious_a impose_v necessity_n and_o such_o as_o they_o can_v remove_v when_o they_o please_v at_o the_o last_o convention_n in_o parliament_n a_o price_n be_v set_v upon_o it_o for_o twelve_o subsidy_n you_o shall_v reverse_v this_o sentence_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o so_o much_o money_n will_v have_v remove_v the_o present_a necessity_n but_o here_o be_v a_o rate_n set_v upon_o future_a necessity_n for_o twelve_o subsidy_n you_o shall_v never_o suffer_v necessity_n again_o you_o shall_v for_o ever_o abolish_v that_o judgement_n here_o this_o mystery_n be_v reveal_v this_o vizor_n of_o necessity_n be_v pull_v off_o and_o now_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o parliament_n of_o judge_n have_v very_o frank_o and_o bountiful_o present_v his_o majesty_n with_o twelve_o subsidy_n to_o be_v levy_v on_o your_o lordship_n and_o the_o commons_o certain_o there_o be_v no_o privilege_n which_o more_o proper_o belong_v to_o a_o parliament_n than_o to_o open_v the_o purse_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o yet_o these_o judge_n who_o be_v neither_o capable_a of_o sit_v among_o we_o in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o nor_o with_o your_o lordship_n otherwise_o than_o as_o your_o assistant_n have_v not_o only_o assume_v to_o themselves_o this_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n but_o presume_v at_o once_o to_o make_v a_o present_a to_o the_o crown_n of_o all_o that_o either_o your_o lordship_n or_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n do_v or_o shall_v hereafter_o possess_v and_o because_o this_o man_n have_v have_v the_o boldness_n to_o put_v the_o power_n of_o parliament_n in_o balance_n with_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o judge_n i_o shall_v entreat_v your_o lordship_n to_o observe_v by_o way_n of_o comparison_n the_o solemn_a and_o safe_a proceed_n of_o the_o one_o with_o the_o precipitate_a dispatch_n of_o the_o other_o in_o parliament_n as_o your_o lordship_n know_v well_o no_o new_a law_n can_v pass_v or_o old_a be_v abrogate_a till_o it_o have_v be_v thrice_o read_v with_o your_o lordship_n thrice_o in_o the_o commons_o house_n and_o then_o it_o receive_v the_o royal_a assent_n so_o that_o it_o be_v like_a gold_n seven_o time_n purify_v whereas_o these_o judge_n by_o this_o one_o resolution_n of_o they_o will_v persuade_v his_o majesty_n that_o by_o name_v necessity_n he_o may_v at_o once_o dissolve_v at_o least_o suspend_v the_o great_a charter_n two_o and_o thirty_o time_n confirm_v by_o his_o royal_a progenitor_n the_o petition_n of_o right_n and_o all_o other_o law_n provide_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o right_n and_o propriety_n of_o the_o subject_a a_o strange_a force_n my_o lord_n in_o the_o sound_n of_o this_o word_n necessity_n that_o like_o a_o charm_n it_o shall_v silence_v the_o law_n while_o we_o be_v despoil_a of_o all_o we_o have_v for_o that_o but_o a_o part_n of_o our_o good_n be_v take_v be_v owe_v to_o the_o grace_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o king_n for_o so_o much_o as_o concern_v these_o judge_n we_o have_v no_o more_o leave_v than_o they_o perhaps_o may_v deserve_v to_o have_v when_o your_o lordship_n shall_v have_v pass_v judgement_n upon_o they_o this_o for_o the_o neglect_n of_o their_o oath_n and_o betray_v that_o public_a trust_n which_o for_o the_o conservation_n of_o our_o law_n be_v repose_v in_o they_o now_o for_o the_o cruelty_n and_o unmercifulness_n of_o this_o judgement_n you_o may_v please_v to_o remember_v that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n they_o be_v forbid_v to_o seethe_v a_o kid_n in_o his_o mother_n milk_n of_o which_o the_o receive_a interpretation_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o use_v that_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o any_o creature_n which_o be_v intend_v for_o its_o preservation_n now_o my_o lord_n god_n and_o nature_n have_v give_v we_o the_o sea_n as_o our_o best_a guard_n against_o our_o enemy_n and_o our_o ship_n as_o our_o great_a glory_n above_o other_o nation_n and_o how_o barbarous_o will_v these_o man_n have_v let_v in_o the_o sea_n upon_o we_o at_o once_o to_o wash_v away_o our_o liberty_n and_o to_o overwhelm_v if_o not_o our_o land_n all_o the_o propriety_n we_o have_v therein_o make_v the_o supply_n of_o our_o navy_n a_o pretence_n for_o the_o ruin_n of_o our_o nation_n for_o observe_v beseech_v you_o the_o fruit_n and_o consequence_n of_o this_o judgement_n how_o this_o money_n have_v prosper_v how_o contrary_a a_o effect_n it_o have_v have_v to_o the_o end_n for_o which_o they_o pretend_v to_o take_v it_o on_o every_o county_n a_o ship_n be_v annual_o impose_v and_o who_o will_v not_o expect_v but_o our_o sea_n by_o this_o time_n shall_v be_v cover_v with_o the_o number_n of_o our_o ship_n alas_o my_o lord_n the_o daily_a complaint_n of_o the_o decay_n of_o our_o navy_n tell_v we_o how_o ill_a ship-money_n have_v maintain_v the_o sovereignty_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o by_o the_o many_o petition_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o the_o wife_n of_o those_o miserable_a captive_n at_o algiers_n be_v between_o four_o or_o five_o thousand_o of_o our_o

there_o be_v hear_v a_o voice_n in_o the_o air_n loud_o than_o ordinary_a the_o gaul_n be_v come_v which_o voice_n after_o they_o have_v sack_v the_o city_n and_o besiege_v the_o capitol_n be_v hold_v so_o ominous_a that_o livy_n relate_v it_o as_o a_o prodigy_n this_o anticipation_n of_o necessity_n seem_v to_o have_v be_v no_o less_o ominous_a to_o we_o these_o judge_n like_o ill_a bode_a bird_n have_v call_v necessity_n upon_o the_o state_n in_o a_o time_n when_o i_o dare_v say_v they_o think_v themselves_o in_o great_a security_n but_o if_o it_o seem_v superstitious_a to_o take_v this_o as_o a_o omen_n sure_o i_o be_o we_o may_v look_v on_o it_o as_o a_o cause_n of_o the_o unfeigned_a necessity_n we_o now_o suffer_v for_o what_o regret_n and_o discontent_n have_v this_o judgement_n breed_v among_o we_o and_o as_o when_o the_o noise_n and_o tumult_n in_o a_o private_a house_n grow_v so_o loud_a as_o to_o be_v hear_v into_o the_o street_n it_o call_v in_o the_o next_o dweller_n
