An appendix to the queries upon the 25th of Hen. VIII, Cap. 21 containing some further considerations in behalf of the late illegally ejected officers of the Royal Hospital of St. Thomas Southwark, chiefly grounded upon certain passages in the grant of King Edward VI to the mayor and commonalty of the city of London : wherein the royal perogative as to the visitation and regulation of that and other hospitals is vindicated and asserted : and the late regulations in the time of King Charles II are more particularly consider'd and defended.

bishop_n of_o rome_n or_o such_o as_o he_o shall_v delegate_v and_o appoint_v and_o thus_o much_o be_v certain_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n themselves_o that_o wherever_o there_o be_v a_o

this_o power_n of_o visitation_n be_v in_o vain_a it_o follow_v therefore_o unavoidable_o from_o both_o of_o these_o thing_n take_v together_o if_o the_o power_n and_o right_n of_o the_o lord_n

this_o particular_a case_n over_o the_o mayor_n and_o commonalty_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n by_o a_o very_a plain_a inference_n from_o the_o word_n of_o k._n edward_n grant_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v former_o over_o the_o master_n of_o this_o hospital_n or_o other_o or_o rather_o indeed_o a_o much_o great_a because_o the_o pope_n power_n be_v in_o its_o nature_n foreign_a in_o its_o

person_n and_o estate_n of_o man_n within_o his_o realm_n it_o flow_v from_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o essential_a constitution_n of_o all_o government_n whatsoever_o and_o without_o it_o no_o government_n can_v either_o be_v so_o strong_a or_o so_o last_v as_o it_o design_n to_o be_v but_o not_o to_o insist_v upon_o inference_n though_o so_o plain_a so_o conclusive_a that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o there_o be_v these_o very_a word_n in_o the_o grant_n of_o the_o say_a king_n edward_n and_o we_o will_v and_o declare_v by_o these_o present_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a for_o we_o

from_o which_o we_o may_v observe_v these_o four_o thing_n first_o that_o this_o power_n reserve_v to_o the_o king_n be_v strict_o and_o proper_o legal_a in_o itself_o be_v found_v upon_o a_o express_a provision_n in_o a_o act_n of_o parl._n 25_o h._n 8._o c._n 21._o second_o that_o bate_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n this_o be_v a_o reservation_n so_o reasonable_a and_o just_a that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v to_o any_o private_a donor_n to_o appoint_v other_o visitor_n as_o there_o shall_v be_v occasion_n to_o visit_v the_o ordinary_a feoffee_n entrust_v by_o

vindication_n of_o the_o regulation_n make_v in_o this_o and_o other_o house_n in_o the_o time_n of_o k._n charles_n ii_o suppose_v that_o they_o have_v also_o this_o clause_n of_o reservation_n for_o than_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o strain_v the_o prerogative_n and_o from_o have_v act_v after_o a_o illegal_a arbitrary_a manner_n as_o some_o that_o be_v very_o illegal_a and_o arbitrary_a themselves_o will_v needs_o have_v he_o to_o have_v do_v that_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o have_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o a_o royal_a grant_n on_o his_o side_n and_o both_o of_o they_o imply_v such_o a_o trust_v commit_v to_o he_o as_o it_o concern_v he_o in_o conscience_n to_o look_v after_o four_o and_o last_o the_o regulation_n make_v by_o that_o wise_a and_o good_a prince_n in_o

say_v in_o its_o due_a place_n for_o then_o this_o reservation_n of_o k._n edward_n this_o power_n give_v by_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v both_o of_o they_o absurd_a monstrous_a ridiculous_a and_o vain_a and_o this_o concern_v as_o well_o some_o that_o call_v themselves_o governor_n as_o other_o that_o pretend_v to_o be_v officer_n of_o this_o house_n in_o the_o three_o place_n k._n edward_n in_o the_o say_a grant_n appropriate_n unite_v knit_v and_o incorporate_v to_o the_o mayor_n commonalty_n and_o citizen_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o their_o successor_n etc._n etc._n the_o parsonage_n and_o church_n of_o st._n thomas_n southwark_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v observe_v 1._o bate_v that_o the_o word_n appropriation_n be_v a_o term_n particular_o respect_v rectory_n or_o parsonage_n as_o be_v here_o express_v that_o as_o to_o the_o true_a propriety_n which_o the_o mayor_n and_o commonalty_n of_o the_o say_a city_n be_v by_o this_o grant_n to_o have_v in_o either_o of_o they_o the_o hospital_n and_o its_o revenue_n and_o demesn_n be_v as_o much_o knit_v unite_a and_o incorporate_v to_o the_o say_a mayor_n etc._n etc._n as_o the_o parish_n church_n or_o the_o glebe_n tithe_n obvention_n oblation_n etc._n etc._n thereunto_o belong_v 2._o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o knit_n unite_n and_o incorporate_n which_o be_v word_n expressive_a of_o the_o union_n yet_o the_o king_n do_v still_o reserve_v to_o himself_o his_o heir_n and_o successor_n as_o have_v be_v see_v a_o express_a power_n of_o visitation_n as_o often_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v fit_a and_o expedient_a in_o the_o same_o grant_n so_o that_o he_o may_v lawful_o have_v visit_v notwithstanding_o this_o incorporation_n that_o be_v notwithstanding_o the_o corporation_n to_o which_o it_o be_v annex_v shall_v always_o remain_v a_o body_n politic_a or_o corporate_a without_o any_o surrender_n seizure_n or_o avoidance_n of_o their_o charter_n 3._o from_o hence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o visitation_n of_o the_o hospital_n and_o the_o avoidance_n of_o the_o charter_n whether_o right_a or_o wrong_n be_v clear_o and_o manifest_o two_o distinct_a thing_n that_o they_o have_v no_o necessary_a dependence_n upon_o or_o connexion_n with_o each_o other_o and_o that_o a_o visitation_n of_o the_o hospital_n by_o the_o king_n be_v legal_a though_o the_o charter_n be_v stand_v and_o in_o full_a force_n 4._o from_o hence_o it_o further_o follow_v though_o the_o charter_n be_v restore_v yet_o all_o those_o regulation_n which_o be_v make_v by_o k._n charles_n ii_o by_o a_o power_n derive_v not_o only_o from_o the_o grant_n of_o k._n edward_n but_o from_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n 25_o h._n 8._o c._n 21._o be_v still_o bind_v and_o valid_a by_o virtue_n of_o that_o act_n the_o say_v regulation_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v legal_a and_o that_o neither_o the_o officer_n nor_o governor_n that_o be_v then_o discard_v can_v lawful_o be_v restore_v for_o this_o be_v to_o suppose_v a_o visitor_n superior_a to_o the_o supreme_a nay_o that_o the_o delegated_a power_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v visit_v for_o its_o fault_n and_o failure_n may_v correct_v and_o amend_v that_o power_n to_o which_o it_o be_v by_o law_n subject_v it_o be_v to_o imply_v that_o a_o legal_a act_n may_v be_v illegal_a and_o arbitrary_a at_o the_o same_o time_n for_o if_o it_o be_v legal_a why_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v valid_a and_o what_o a_o absurdity_n be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n for_o substitute_n and_o vicarious_a agent_n to_o correct_v their_o principal_n of_o who_o they_o hold_v and_o from_o who_o all_o their_o power_n and_o authority_n be_v derive_v or_o will_v not_o this_o in_o its_o consequence_n be_v to_o invert_v the_o nature_n and_o the_o order_n of_o government_n and_o to_o bring_v all_o thing_n into_o confusion_n if_o inferior_n shall_v at_o every_o turn_n correct_v and_o alter_v the_o establishment_n of_o a_o superior_a power_n when_o they_o can_v help_v confess_v they_o to_o be_v legal_a and_o when_o they_o be_v make_v to_o be_v so_o by_o the_o same_o law_n of_o the_o land_n by_o which_o every_o man_n enjoy_v his_o property_n and_o hold_v his_o estate_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o neither_o the_o governor_n nor_o officer_n eject_v by_o king_n charles_n ii_o can_n
and_o strict_a the_o union_n of_o the_o parish_n of_o st._n thomas_n southwark_n may_v be_v think_v to_o be_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o grant_v to_o the_o mayor_n and_o commonalty_n or_o to_o the_o
