the_o parliament_n by_o special_a act_n and_o order_n authorise_v and_o impowr_v any_o three_o person_n joint_o to_o sell_v land_n give_v livery_n and_o seisin_n execute_v any_o commission_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o in_o case_n any_o of_o they_o die_v the_o two_o surviver_n joint_o or_o several_o can_v do_v nothing_o because_o their_o authority_n and_o trust_n be_v joint_a and_o not_o several_a etc._n etc._n apply_v this_o to_o the_o parliament_n which_o be_v as_o he_o now_o express_v it_o a_o corporation_n compact_v joint_o of_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_z house_n and_o three_o estate_n that_o therefore_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n necessary_o dissolve_v it_o notwithstanding_o this_o act._n i_o answer_v this_o do_v no_o more_o prove_v it_o than_o any_o of_o his_o former_a argument_n for_o this_o similitude_n do_v not_o hold_v proportion_n nor_o come_v up_o to_o our_o present_a case_n for_o we_o have_v not_o here_o to_o do_v with_o one_o estate_n or_o more_o that_o have_v absolute_a power_n in_o itself_o and_o intend_v to_o execute_v it_o to_o constitute_v other_o person_n for_o any_o office_n or_o trust_n as_o a_o single_a person_n etc._n etc._n that_o make_v a_o will_n or_o deed_n do_v constitute_v three_o or_o more_o person_n in_o trust_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o will_n or_o deed_n who_o joint_a power_n be_v express_v in_o the_o say_a will_n or_o deed_n it_o necessary_o fail_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o any_o one_o of_o they_o because_o joint_o and_o not_o several_o entrust_v but_o with_o a_o parliament_n who_o have_v voluntary_o engage_v themselves_o upon_o a_o trust_n and_o credit_v receive_v from_o the_o people_n for_o their_o security_n with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o king_n make_v a_o law_n to_o preserve_v their_o session_n and_o establish_v their_o own_o authority_n against_o all_o mean_n of_o their_o untimely_a dissolution_n till_o they_o have_v honourable_o discharge_v their_o trust_n and_o give_v security_n and_o satisfaction_n to_o those_o that_o give_v they_o credit_n which_o nothing_o concern_v any_o power_n or_o authority_n to_o be_v give_v to_o other_o whether_o three_o or_o more_o person_n according_a to_o mr._n prins_n instance_n to_o be_v execute_v joint_o wherein_o a_o failer_z may_v be_v through_o any_o one_o of_o their_o death_n but_o because_o there_o seem_v something_o still_o to_o be_v unanswered_a to_o this_o objection_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o conjunctive_a power_n of_o the_o parliament_n consist_v of_o three_o estate_n therefore_o this_o also_o be_v full_o resolve_v in_o the_o follow_a answer_n to_o what_o mr._n prin_fw-mi intimate_v concern_v the_o king_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o parliament_n who_o say_v that_o because_o the_o king_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o parliament_n therefore_o if_o the_o king_n die_v the_o parliament_n must_v needs_o be_v dissolve_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o king_n be_v rather_o a_o part_n of_o the_o parliament_n in_o his_o politic_a than_o in_o his_o personal_a capacity_n which_o be_v always_o subject_a to_o death_n but_o his_o politic_a never_o with_o this_o agree_v that_o famous_a lawyer_n sir_n edward_n cook_n see_v the_o three_o part_n of_o his_o institutes_n chapter_n the_o first_o where_o speak_v of_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n and_o of_o what_o person_n it_o consist_v say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o in_o express_a word_n that_o it_o consist_v of_o the_o king_n majesty_n sit_v there_o as_o in_o his_o royal_a politic_a capacity_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o so_o than_o the_o parliament_n die_v not_o in_o all_o case_n when_o the_o king_n die_v and_o if_o this_o hold_v good_a in_o any_o case_n then_o sure_o in_o case_n of_o a_o act_n to_o that_o purpose_n for_o though_o his_o person_n be_v dead_a yet_o his_o royal_a authority_n live_v as_o be_v sufficient_o evident_a by_o the_o force_n and_o authority_n of_o all_o our_o law_n till_o repeal_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n but_o beside_o it_o may_v thus_o far_o be_v argue_v clear_o the_o member_n of_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n though_o many_o of_o they_o die_v as_o oft_o time_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v and_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v all_o die_v by_o degree_n before_o the_o parliament_n rise_v yet_o the_o parliament_n be_v not_o dissolve_v because_o they_o be_v not_o now_o the_o very_a same_o individual_a person_n that_o be_v choose_v first_o by_o the_o king_n writ_n of_o summons_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o there_o have_v be_v new_a writ_n issue_v forth_o from_o that_o house_n or_o estate_n of_o parliament_n whereof_o they_o be_v member_n whereby_o new_a election_n etc._n etc._n have_v be_v make_v and_o so_o other_o member_n return_v to_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o the_o dead_a one_o and_o if_o this_o be_v good_a in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n etc._n etc._n which_o no_o man_n that_o understand_v law_n and_o the_o usage_n of_o parliament_n will_v deny_v than_o it_o be_v much_o more_o good_a in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o king_n majesty_n person_n who_o royal_a estate_n and_o authority_n be_v so_o evident_a that_o it_o be_v a_o declare_v undeniable_a maxim_n in_o our_o law_n he_o never_o die_v so_o that_o what_o new_a writ_n do_v legal_o for_o supply_v of_o the_o place_n of_o the_o dead_a member_n to_o continue_v the_o estate_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n that_o and_o much_o more_o eminent_o the_o king_n immediate_a succession_n to_o the_o crown_n after_o his_o father_n or_o predecessor_n death_n do_v do_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o royal_a birthright_n and_o title_n of_o inheritance_n there_o be_v this_o grand_a difference_n between_o member_n of_o parliament_n die_v and_o the_o king_n they_o so_o die_v that_o their_o authority_n can_v be_v revive_v but_o by_o new_a elect●ons_n or_o writ_n of_o summons_n but_o the_o king_n so_o die_v that_o his_o authority_n still_o live_v by_o immediate_a succession_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o royal_a seat_n be_v never_o vacant_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o failer_z to_o make_v good_a the_o royal_a action_n of_o the_o predecessor_n and_o thus_o the_o three_o estate_n in_o parliament_n always_o live_v the_o joint_a power_n still_o continue_v and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n the_o parliament_n shall_v dissolve_v as_o mr._n prin_fw-mi affirm_v due_a circumstance_n and_o action_n be_v weigh_v and_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o kingdom_n well_o consider_v five_o therefore_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o mr._n prins_n five_o and_o last_o argument_n must_v needs_o be_v out_o of_o door_n which_o be_v this_o that_o because_o the_o end_n of_o parliament_n be_v to_o enact_v new_a law_n and_o repeal_v other_o etc._n etc._n which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o the_o king_n assent_n and_o this_o parliament_n be_v to_o be_v dissolve_v by_o a_o act_n and_o a_o act_n be_v now_o impossible_a to_o be_v make_v by_o that_o king_n for_o the_o dissolution_n of_o it_o he_o be_v dead_a therefore_o his_o death_n must_v needs_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n notwithstanding_o this_o act._n i_o answer_v in_o the_o negative_a in_o no_o wise_a for_o though_o he_o be_v dead_a as_o aforesaid_a in_o his_o personal_a which_o mr._n prin_fw-mi seem_v to_o answer_v too_o weak_o in_o his_o follow_a objection_n yet_o not_o in_o his_o politic_a capacity_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o dead_a king_n can_v enact_v law_n by_o the_o parliament_n yet_o his_o successor_n can_v who_o come_v immediate_o to_o the_o crown_n after_o his_o father_n death_n and_o as_o have_v be_v show_v it_o be_v no_o way_n inconvenient_a but_o may_v many_o way_n be_v advantageous_a to_o the_o public_a that_o shall_v the_o king_n chance_v any_o way_n untimely_a to_o be_v take_v away_o the_o parliament_n shall_v continue_v after_o the_o king_n death_n who_o death_n if_o it_o shall_v necessary_o as_o mr._n prin_fw-mi affirm_v dissolve_v the_o parliament_n so_o untimely_a a_o dissolution_n as_o the_o case_n may_v stand_v may_v prove_v very_o dangerous_a and_o pernicious_a to_o the_o kingdom_n beside_o the_o act_n do_v not_o limit_v the_o parliament_n dissolution_n as_o lawful_a only_o if_o it_o be_v do_v by_o a_o act_n of_o that_o king_n then_o live_v when_o the_o act_n be_v make_v but_o in_o the_o general_a it_o limit_n it_o to_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v dissolve_v but_o by_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o why_o the_o predecessor_n authority_n and_o consent_n shall_v not_o be_v as_o bind_v to_o his_o successor_n in_o this_o case_n till_o so_o dissolve_v as_o in_o case_n of_o any_o other_o law_n make_v with_o his_o consent_n i_o will_v very_o glad_o know_v a_o solid_a reason_n for_o it_o be_v that_o to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n a_o act_n for_o confirmation_n or_o dissolution_n may_v be_v as_o virtual_a and_o efficacious_a
