Objecting the Statute of the first of Queens Elizabeth and his owne Oath that the King is the onely supreame Goverhour of this Realme Answers The Parliament is the supreme power and the King supreme Governour And yet there he allowes him a Nega●ive Voyce and fol. 107. confesseth that Acts of Parliament translated the Crowne from the right Heires at Common-Law to others who had no good Title then the Parlimentary Title makes not the King so powerfull in truth that it escapes from a man unawares To make a distinction betweene supreame Governour and supreame power is very strange for who can governe without power The King assembles the Parliament by his Writ adjournes Vide Speep 645.4 par Instit 27. 2. prorogues and dissolves the Parliament by the Law at his pleasure as is evident by constant practise the House of Commons never sate after an adjournement of the Parliament by the Kings Command Where is the supreame power The King by his Oath is bound to deny no man right 18 Ob. much lesse the Parliament to agree to all just and necessary Lawes proposed by them to the King This is the substance of the discourse against the Kings Negative Voyce The King is so hound as is set downe in the Objection Sol. but who shall judge whether the Bill proposed be just and necessary For all that they do propose are so pretended and carried in either House sometimes by one or two Voyces or some sew as aforesaid and certainly it hath been shewen the King his Counsell of State his Judges Sergeants Attorney Sollicitor and twelve Masters of the Chancery can better judge of them then two or three or few more Mr. Prynne fol. 45.

Master Prynne saith there But let this opinion be what it will without the Kings Grace and Pardon it will goe very farre and two Acts of Parliament there mentioned are beyond an opinion And in his Book of the opening of the Great Seale fol. 17. The Parliament hath no jurisdiction to use the Grear Seale for Pardons Generall or Particular Where is the supreme power then Mr. 19. Ob. Prynnes opening of the Seale pag. 19. saith the Noblemen and State the day after the Funerall of King Henry the third King Edward the first his Sonne being in the Holy Land made a new Great Seale and Keepers of the same And in Henry the sixts time in the first yeare of his Reigne the like was done in Parliament A facto all jus Sol. is no good Argument for than in Edward the firsts time it was no Parliament for King Henry the third was dead which dissolyed the Parliament if called in his time and it could be no Parliament of Edward the firsts time for no Writ issued to summon a Parliament in his Name nor could issue but under that New Seale it was so suddainely done after● Henry the thirds death King Edward the first being then in the Holy Land it was the first yeare of his Reigne and no Parliament was held that yeare nor the second yeare of his Reigne The first Parliament that was in his Reigne was in the third yeare of his Reigne as appeares by the printed Acts Also the making of that Seale was by some Lords then present What hand had the Commons in it Concerning the Seale made in Henry the sixths time the Protector was vice-Roy according to the course of Law and so the making of that Seale was by the Protector in the Kings name and that Protector Humphrey Duke of Gloucester as Protectour in the Kings Name summoned that Parliament and was Protector made by the Lords and not in Parliament as appeareth plainely for that Parliament was in the first of Henry the sixth and the first holden in his time and power given by Commission to the said Duke then Protector to summon that Parliament Prynne ibid. fol. 19.
