not_o by_o the_o same_o right_a and_o reason_n despence_v with_o the_o law_n whereby_o all_o the_o inferior_a court_n of_o judicature_n now_o fit_v or_o adnull_v the_o court_n themselves_o and_o throw_v all_o thing_n into_o a_o confuse_a chaos_n where_o the_o strong_a shall_v enjoy_v every_o thing_n upon_o these_o premise_n i_o may_v dare_v to_o conclude_v that_o the_o law_n for_o hold_v a_o

the_o essence_n of_o our_o government_n have_v actual_o defeat_v the_o execution_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v hold_v for_o nothing_o and_o the_o day_n appoint_v for_o your_o meeting_n to_o be_v no_o day_n for_o that_o purpose_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o law_n suppose_v then_o that_o i_o have_v hitherto_o right_o conclude_v the_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o the_o

dissolve_v a_o parliament_n be_v a_o term_n of_o art_n in_o our_o law_n and_o aught_o to_o have_v some_o peculir_a sense_n gain_v by_o the_o use_n of_o it_o in_o the_o law_n but_o find_v it_o use_v only_o in_o its_o vuilgar_a sense_n i_o perceive_v it_o signify_v to_o break_v off_o or_o put_v a_o end_n to_o a_o parliament_n and_o all_o their_o business_n and_o authority_n so_o that_o a_o dissolution_n may_v be_v make_v without_o the_o king_n or_o lord_n chancellor_n say_v you_o be_v hereby_o dissolve_v the_o force_n of_o the_o law_n or_o custom_n of_o england_n may_v put_v a_o end_n to_o a_o parliament_n of_o old_a the_o finish_v the_o business_n of_o the_o people_n for_o which_o they_o be_v call_v do_v dissolve_v they_o see_v the_o ancient_a modus_fw-la tenendi_fw-la parliamt_v the_o custom_n be_v that_o when_o all_o the_o petition_n for_o relief_n against_o grievance_n be_v dispacth_v proclamation_n be_v make_v demand_v if_o any_o petition_n be_v yet_o unanswered_a and_o if_o there_o be_v none_o the_o parliament_n forth_o with_o depart_a this_o be_v the_o natural_a death_n or_o dissolution_n of_o a_o parliament_n but_o if_o the_o king_n do_v command_v the_o lord_n and_o commons_o to_o depart_v before_o they_o have_v suffitient_o consult_v about_o the_o state_n and_o defence_n of_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n and_o set_v up-day_n for_o their_o return_n that_o be_v the_o voilent_a death_n of_o a_o parliament_n and_o i_o doubt_v a_o violence_n to_o the_o king_n conscience_n but_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o the_o king_n to_o dissolve_v parliament_n either_o by_o leave_n or_o command_v give_v they_o to_o depart_v fix_v no_o day_n for_o their_o return_n so_o testify_v the_o ancient_a roll_n of_o the_o 37._o ed._n 3._o n._n 38._o and_o 38._o ed._n 3._o n._n 31._o 40_o ed._n 3._o n._n 16._o 45._o ed._n 3._o n._n 13._o 50._o it_o be_v by_o force_n of_o law_n that_o the_o write_v of_o sumon_n to_o parliament_n abate_v or_o become_v void_a by_o the_o king_n natural_a death_n and_o the_o parliament_n be_v thereby_o dissolve_v upon_o the_o same_o reason_n a_o failer_z of_o some_o circumstance_n as_o the_o name_v such_o a_o time_n as_o the_o law_n allow_v to_o which_o it_o be_v adjourn_v the_o hold_v and_o continue_v a_o parliament_n if_o judged_n necessary_a by_o the_o law_n for_o preserve_v both_o the_o form_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o

happen_v if_o the_o king_n shall_v step_v out_o of_o the_o form_n of_o the_o law_n to_o revive_v a_o parliament_n it_o will_v alter_v the_o whole_a government_n by_o own_v a_o power_n in_o the_o

to_o summons_n and_o the_o form_n wherein_o only_o he_o can_v exert_v that_o power_n and_o the_o elect_v have_v their_o power_n from_o the_o people_n by_o the_o writ_n of_o the_o law_n what_o to_o

after_o 20_o year_n and_o because_o they_o be_v once_o commission_v by_o the_o people_n to_o represent_v they_o in_o one_o parliament_n they_o shall_v therefore_o make_v themselves_o lord_n of_o the_o

these_o principle_n i_o tell_v you_o free_o my_o opinion_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v dissolve_v have_v be_v dismiss_v or_o command_v to_o depart_v without_o a_o day_n to_o return_v within_o the_o time_n that_o the_o law_n require_v a_o parliament_n to_o be_v hold_v and_o that_o time_n also_o lapse_v since_o their_o dismission_n i_o think_v it_o not_o material_a in_o the_o case_n what_o word_n
