REASONS TO Resolve the unresolved PEOPLE Of the Legality of the KINGS Tryal and Iudgment By Rob. Robins Imprimatur Gilb. Mabbot LONDON Printed for Robert White Feb. 26. REASONS To resolve the unresolved People of the Legality of the KINGS Tryal and Judgment LECTORI True Englands Truths I would declare to thee If Englands Iayls my Guerdon might not be Imprimis HE saith that he is King successive which if he be he should have declared That his Interest to the succession was an hereditary or an elective succession If an hereditary succession then hereditary from the Conquest if so then by the sword have we freed our selves from slavery as we we were by the sword inslaved if electory then the Electors may reclaim their own power and call the elected to an account his authority arising from the Electors At the death of Kings all the Officers of his Court lay their offices at the dead Kings feet This ceremony doth declare That all offices and trusts dye with him and then if not in a Parliament time the Bishops Dukes Earls Barons Chief Justices and Judges proclaim the next Heir to the dead King King which ceremony doth manifest that they are electory and not hereditary For the Bishops Dukes c. are the Body of the Kingdom and Councel of the people and their Representative out of Parliament trusted by the King for the peoples weal and if electory why shall not the people elect whom they please and when the trust is abused which the elected is trusted with why shall not the people call the elected to an account of his trust and punish him according to the Common Law which is Reason for breach of trust if he refuse to yield an account of his trust It hath been Englands and other Kingdoms Custom to call to highest Offices such as were of greatest fame repute quality and estates thereby imagining that they who are conceived most honorable and most rich are best bred in knowledg and would duly discharge their trusts for conscience and honors sake and to preserve their estates being lyable to restitution for wrong doing The trust that Kings of England are trusted with is to govern well and therefore hath the name of Rex being a derivative name or word from Rego to Govern which word if observed well will tell you what Rex a King is for it is an old Proverb Regum est parcere subjectis debulare superbos Regum est id est officium Regum the office and duty of Kings The King enjoyes the Crown not as his but the Kingdoms nor can grant any office before he is sworn and when he is sworn it is by the peoples Representative trusted for that office by the dead King in his life time and the Crown Lands after he is sworn and crowned allotted him for maintenance as a reward to maintain him to execute his office After he is sworn to execute such trusts as the people have trusted him with he is by the hands of the Archbishop of Canterbury the chief Ecclesiastical Minister in England clothed in white crowned with a Golden Crown beset with Diamonds and other rich Jewels which carry a lustre round about the Crown and Head which is a Celestial Type fit for such a man as a glorious renown that will discharge that great trust he is trusted with and hath sworn to execute it By vertue of his oath he is Chief Justice of England to administer true Justice as well to poor as to rich without respect of persons and hath thereby power to call to his assistance Wisemen and Lawyers and to depute them swear them and locate them at his pleasure and if they do not well demean themselves to displace them and call others He is also Lord Chancellor and maketh a Seal which is Treason to counterfeit for fear of wrong to be done by it to his trust which he is trusted with and is to hear and determine in equity what Reason which is Common Law may impose upon any man contrary to equity He is Receiver of the Revenue of the Kingdom being trusted in his hands for maintenance of Officers deputed by him in Courts of Justice for his assistance in executing true Justice He is Admiral of the Sea and the Tonnage and Poundage the Kingdoms trusted in his hands for maintenance of a Navy to protect the Merchants from Pirates and Sea Rovers He is Constable of all the Towers Castles Forts and Arms in the Kingdom being the Militia which is moenia Angliae trusted in his hands by the people and by them bought to preserve the Kingdom against forraign Invasions and domestick Rebellions He is Gaurdian of many Infants until they come to the age of twenty one yeers left by their Parents hereditary estates and to preserve the Orphant and estate and to breed them in the fear of God and learning and to account when they come to age He is Keeper and Preserver of the Peace of the Kingdom and to see the Statute Laws put in execution and to have a care that if any shall offend against it to fine and punish him at his pleasure or at the pleasure of such Judges or Justices as he shall depute Many more Trusts have the people reposed in him which for brevity I omit and he hath broken them he hath turned the Militia into the peoples bowels and killed them with it he hath taken the Merchants with the Tonnage and Poundage and spoyled their Ships and Goods at Sea Equity hath he turned into cruel iniquity contrary to a good Conscience he hath sold Justice and placed Ignorance in her Seat he hath sold the peoples Interest to monopolizing Creatures he hath thrown wisdom and honesty into prison protected the wicked and punished the innocent he claimeth the Militia the Revenue the Tonnage and Poundage the Crown and Crown Lands to be his and not the peoples and refuseth to account to the people being demanded several times and saith he will account to none but God and will not by fair means nor legal tryal give any answer and therefore according to Englands Laws hath his sentence as consessing all that is charged upon him in respect he denyeth it not Now let all the world judg whether the people have justly recalled their own Interest and adjudged him to death for such abuses and refusing to account
