i_o shall_v admit_v which_o can_v never_o be_v evince_v that_o the_o say_a negative_a clause_n shall_v fortify_v the_o parliament_n against_o all_o the_o cause_n of_o dissolution_n as_o it_o stand_v single_o by_o itself_o yet_o upon_o consideration_n of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o same_o statute_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o there_o be_v other_o word_n which_o do_v restrain_v the_o

the_o king_n death_n and_o to_o prove_v this_o it_o be_v a_o good_a rule_n in_o law_n that_o it_o be_v most_o natural_a and_o genuine_a to_o expound_v one_o part_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o a_o

clause_n be_v prohibitory_a of_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o dissolution_n and_o in_o this_o last_o clause_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o dissolution_n which_o they_o intend_v to_o prevent_v be_v something_o that_o shall_v consist_v in_o action_n by_o the_o word_n thing_n or_o thing_n do_v or_o to_o be_v do_v which_o word_n can_v be_v applicable_a only_o to_o a_o actual_a dissolution_n by_o the_o king_n pleasure_n for_o the_o nonentry_n of_o continuance_n upon_o adjournment_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n but_o a_o defect_n nor_o do_v but_o omit_v and_o the_o king_n death_n be_v not_o a_o

which_o respect_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o dissolution_n extend_v only_o to_o a_o dissolution_n by_o the_o king_n pleasure_n the_o author_n can_v with_o any_o reason_n or_o modesty_n strain_n or_o extend_v the_o negative_a word_n of_o the_o former_a general_a sentence_n which_o respect_v the_o effect_n to_o any_o of_o the_o other_o way_n of_o dissolution_n unless_o he_o will_v have_v the_o effect_n as_o it_o be_v a_o effect_n to_o be_v broad_a and_o more_o capacious_a than_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o this_o late_a sentence_n restrain_v the_o general_a word_n of_o the_o former_a to_o the_o particular_a kind_n of_o dissolution_n by_o the_o king_n pleasure_n and_o upon_o the_o whole_a that_o the_o long_a parliament_n have_v no_o establishment_n of_o their_o continuance_n against_o a_o dissolution_n by_o discontinuance_n or_o the_o king_n death_n which_o have_v both_o happen_v during_o their_o

the_o world_n with_o this_o paradox_n which_o be_v build_v by_o he_o upon_o so_o sandy_a foundation_n that_o it_o be_v no_o glory_n to_o demolish_v and_o kick_v it_o down_o it_o be_v the_o humour_n

in_o the_o author_n discourse_n of_o the_o existency_n of_o the_o long-parliament_n which_o i_o shall_v touch_v only_o and_o dismiss_v the_o question_n to_o mr._n prynne_n first_o argument_n he_o answer_v that_o the_o king_n death_n legal_o dissolve_v a_o parliament_n but_o not_o such_o a_o parliament_n as_o be_v establish_v by_o a_o act_n of_o the_o three_o estate_n and_o require_v a_o

objection_n stand_v in_o its_o full_a force_n and_o efficacy_n and_o for_o his_o precedent_n this_o be_v iniquum_fw-la petere_fw-la to_o demand_v a_o example_n of_o that_o which_o be_v without_o a_o parallel_n in_o any_o of_o the_o former_a age_n it_o suffice_v that_o we_o have_v evince_v by_o reason_n and_o a_o legal_a interpretation_n of_o the_o act_n of_o 17_o car._n that_o the_o long_a parliament_n have_v no_o legal_a existence_n to_o mr._n prynne_n second_o objection_n he_o furnish_v out_o the_o same_o distinction_n for_o he_o have_v no_o weapon_n to_o fight_v with_o but_o a_o fork_n and_o if_o that_o break_v he_o must_v despair_v of_o victory_n but_o he_o fortify_v his_o distinction_n with_o a_o interrogatory_n upon_o which_o he_o frame_v a_o dilemma_n which_o be_v answer_v before_o viz._n that_o a_o parliament_n can_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la extend_v its_o continuance_n beyond_o the_o king_n life_n in_o whole_a time_n they_o be_v summon_v but_o by_o the_o people_n special_a consent_n or_o a_o invincible_a necessity_n and_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v such_o a_o peddle_a necessity_n as_o the_o pretence_n of_o borrow_v of_o money_n in_o our_o particular_a case_n he_o say_v that_o parliament_n security_n be_v ever_o look_v upon_o as_o inviolable_a viz._n as_o i_o think_v he_o mean_v just_a and_o punctual_a and_o it_o have_v be_v always_o so_o esteem_v before_o and_o since_o that_o act_n and_o money_n have_v be_v always_o borrow_v in_o great_a sum_n upon_o their_o security_n without_o scruple_v their_o dissolution_n ask_v any_o citizen_n of_o london_n he_o will_v give_v you_o a_o precedent_n of_o it_o which_o be_v not_o beyond_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n yet_o i_o confess_v that_o if_o the_o money_n borrow_v by_o the_o long_a parliament_n in_o 17_o car._n be_v not_o pay_v by_o that_o parliament_n although_o they_o sit_v till_o the_o king_n death_n which_o be_v many_o year_n afterwards_o it_o be_v most_o certain_o true_a that_o the_o general_a rule_n do_v fail_v in_o that_o particular_a instance_n and_o till_o now_o very_a few_o of_o this_o kingdom_n do_v ever_o know_v or_o suppose_v that_o that_o parliament_n have_v leave_v the_o nation_n in_o debt_n so_o that_o the_o author_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o expect_v the_o thanks_o of_o the_o house_n at_o their_o resit_a for_o make_v this_o discovery_n so_o public_a to_o mr._n pryn_n three_o objection_n he_o oppose_v the_o same_o magnanimous_a distinction_n which_o sure_o be_v not_o of_o french_a extraction_n for_o it_o shrink_v not_o at_o the_o 3d._o charge_n but_o it_o be_v now_o almost_o out_o of_o breath_n and_o therefore_o to_o second_v it_o he_o say_v that_o the_o king_n virtual_o wave_v the_o authority_n of_o his_o writ_n of_o summons_n and_o fear_v that_o for_o all_o this_o it_o may_v be_v repulse_v he_o sound_v a_o barley_n by_o another_o interrogation_n which_o be_v in_o effect_n but_o his_o old_a distinction_n wheel_v off_o and_o reinforce_v and_o this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v all_o answer_v before_o in_o this_o discourse_n and_o i_o will_v not_o tire_v my_o reader_n with_o repetition_n to_o mr._n pryn_n four_o objection_n he_o say_v nothing_o material_a only_o that_o passage_n must_v not_o escape_v unanswered_a viz._n that_o the_o king_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o parliament_n in_o his_o politic_a rather_o than_o in_o his_o natural_a capacity_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o king_n die_v the_o parliament_n dissolve_v not_o because_o the_o politic_a capacity_n remain_v after_o his_o death_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o intent_n and_o use_n of_o a_o parliament_n be_v to_o advise_v that_o particular_a king_n that_o summon_v it_o and_o all_o their_o counsel_n must_v be_v direct_v to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n capable_a of_o advice_n and_o assent_n and_o when_o he_o write_v le_fw-fr roy_fw-fr le_fw-fr veult_fw-fr it_o be_v his_o personal_a act_n though_o as_o this_o act_n give_v the_o instrument_n which_o he_o sign_v the_o validity_n and_o efficacy_n of_o a_o law_n it_o be_v do_v by_o his_o royal_a authority_n 28._o and_o further_o every_o parliament_n ought_v to_o begin_v and_o end_v by_o his_o personal_a presence_n or_o by_o he_o in_o representation_n which_o show_v that_o every_o parliament_n depend_v upon_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n and_o this_o be_v further_a evident_a by_o the_o ordinary_a dissolution_n of_o the_o parliament_n at_o
his_o death_n and_o to_o the_o author_n application_n that_o a_o parliament_n may_v be_v such_o though_o the_o king_n person_n be_v utter_o withdraw_v because_o his_o politic_a capacity_n live_v and_o be_v present_a with_o they_o this_o be_v a_o outwear_v and_o threadbare_a distinction_n which_o the_o common_a story_n of_o the_o knight_n be_v perjure_v in_o his_o politic_a and_o go_v to_o hell_n in_o his_o natural_a capacity_n sufficient_o confute_v for_o the_o politic_a capacity_n be_v a_o second_o notion_n 213._o and_o can_v subsist_v but_o in_o the_o natural_a to_o which_o it_o be_v so_o strict_o unite_v that_o it_o be_v inseparable_a otherwise_o than_o by_o our_o understanding_n which_o can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o any_o thing_n the_o murder_n of_o his_o late_a majesty_n as_o it_o be_v treason_n be_v a_o offence_n against_o his_o politic_a capacity_n as_o he_o be_v a_o king_n though_o that_o horrid_a and_o shameless_a butchery_n be_v commit_v against_o his_o natural_a person_n as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n but_o that_o say_v that_o the_o king_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o parliament_n must_v be_v cautious_o understand_v because_o a_o mistake_n in_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a cause_n or_o pretence_n of_o all_o our_o late_a civil_a war_n for_o hence_o some_o will_v infer_v a_o coordination_n of_o power_n in_o the_o parliament_n which_o can_v i_o conceive_v be_v make_v good_a by_o reason_n or_o the_o law_n of_o this_o nation_n for_o the_o king_n have_v undoubted_a power_n to_o call_v and_o dissolve_v parliament_n which_o be_v property_n inconsistent_a with_o

another_o as_o in_o atturnment_n the_o member_n during_o the_o continuance_n of_o parliament_n may_v be_v commit_v and_o be_v punish_v for_o treason_n which_o can_v not_o be_v if_o they_o be_v in_o a_o coordination_n with_o the_o king_n and_o the_o writ_n of_o summons_n under_o favour_n notwithstanding_o my_o lord_n cook_n marginal_a note_n do_v confirm_v this_o assertion_n i_o shall_v
