the_o authority_n of_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n or_o any_o legal_a pretence_n of_o it_o which_o only_o consist_v of_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_z and_o therefore_o by_o any_o such_o appellative_a

continuation_n of_o this_o parliament_n till_o they_o dissolve_v themselves_o by_o a_o act_n be_v but_o to_o adjourn_v themselves_o by_o a_o order_n of_o their_o own_o house_n as_o be_v express_v in_o the_o say_v act._n by_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o dissolve_v themselves_o much_o less_o by_o any_o act_n they_o can_v do_v to_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n and_o here_o it_o be_v worth_a the_o observe_n before_o i_o pass_v over_o this_o act_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o whereby_o it_o be_v endeavour_v to_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n that_o in_o their_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n there_o be_v need_n of_o a_o act_n to_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o by_o this_o act_n of_o they_o they_o do_v implicit_o grant_v that_o before_o the_o pass_n of_o the_o say_a act_n the_o parliament_n be_v not_o then_o dissolve_v and_o so_o consequent_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o not_o to_o be_v dissolve_v by_o the_o king_n death_n which_o happen_v many_o year_n before_o and_o if_o not_o dissolve_v by_o the_o king_n death_n then_o much_o less_o by_o the_o say_a act_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o which_o carry_v not_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o legal_a authority_n with_o it_o as_o aforesaid_a for_o the_o dissolution_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o say_a house_n right_o understand_v it_o be_v still_o legal_o in_o force_n and_o be_v but_o because_o some_o do_v object_n that_o in_o regard_n the_o lord_n spiritual_a to_o wit_n the_o bishop_n be_v our_v the_o house_n of_o peer_n before_o the_o pass_a this_o act_n for_o continuation_n of_o the_o parliament_n whereby_o their_o vote_n and_o consent_n be_v never_o have_v in_o the_o case_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o illegal_a act_n and_o so_o fall_v void_a in_o it_o se●f_o i_o answer_v brief_o that_o the_o abbot_n and_o prior_n 29._o in_o number_n 35._o who_o be_v former_o lord_n of_o parliament_n and_o hold_v per_fw-la

same_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n when_o once_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o now_o here_o because_o the_o fear_n and_o scruple_n which_o at_o first_o apprehension_n
