go_v at_o their_o own_o charge_n not_o only_o out_o of_o their_o proper_a county_n but_o also_o upon_o occasion_n of_o some_o insurrection_n into_o wales_n which_o at_o that_o time_n and_o until_o

20._o that_o none_o of_o the_o say_a commons_o be_v distrain_v to_o go_v into_o wales_n or_o elsewhere_o out_o of_o the_o realm_n and_o otherwise_o the_o usual_a phrase_n in_o several_a act_n of_o

three_o statute_n without_o impeachment_n of_o we_o we_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o as_o to_o this_o statute_n single_a but_o that_o as_o we_o have_v observe_v before_o both_o in_o the_o parliament_n roll_n and_o print_a act_n the_o first_o clause_n of_o 1._o e._n 3._o concerning_o arm_v be_v purposely_o omit_v it_o show_v that_o the_o mere_a matter_n of_o cause_v the_o subject_a to_o be_v arm_v

1._o e._n 3._o 25._o e._n 3._o and_o 4._o h._n 4._o as_o they_o be_v appliable_a to_o the_o first_o objection_n make_v upon_o they_o against_o our_o impose_n of_o arm_n upon_o the_o subject_a we_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n proceed_v to_o the_o answer_n of_o the_o other_o objection_n make_v against_o our_o commission_n upon_o the_o statute_n of_o 1._o e._n 3._o and_o 4._o h._n 4._o of_o confirmation_n for_o as_o to_o the_o other_o statute_n of_o 13._o e._n 1._o and_o 25._o e._n 3._o we_o do_v not_o conceive_v that_o they_o be_v or_o can_v be_v mean_v unto_o this_o purpose_n hereupon_o the_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o by_o the_o statute_n of_o 1._o e._n 3_o and_o 4._o h._n 4._o the_o subject_n be_v not_o compellable_a to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o county_n but_o in_o case_n of_o the_o sudden_a come_n of_o a_o enemy_n which_o the_o declaration_n interpret_v of_o a_o actual_a invasion_n but_o this_o commission_n give_v power_n not_o only_o to_o compel_v the_o subject_a to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o county_n before_o a_o actual_a invasion_n as_o the_o case_n be_v put_v in_o the_o state_n of_o it_o but_o as_o it_o be_v express_v in_o other_o part_n of_o the_o declaration_n without_o limitation_n and_o at_o pleasure_n to_o this_o objection_n our_o answer_n be_v that_o both_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o statute_n and_o of_o the_o power_n of_o our_o commission_n be_v mistake_v for_o first_o as_o we_o have_v before_o state_v it_o our_o commission_n give_v that_o power_n of_o conduct_v out_o of_o the_o county_n only_o against_o a_o enemy_n and_o for_o defence_n of_o the_o country_n in_o case_n of_o imminent_a danger_n and_o but_o when_o and_o where_o it_o shall_v be_v most_o needful_a and_o so_o not_o without_o limitation_n and_o at_o pleasure_n and_o second_o as_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o statute_n we_o do_v deny_v that_o the_o subject_n be_v not_o compellable_a to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o county_n unless_o in_o case_n of_o a_o actual_a invasion_n by_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n and_o herein_o though_o we_o have_v not_o upon_o this_o commission_n necessary_a occasion_n to_o dispute_v it_o yet_o we_o can_v but_o observe_v that_o the_o declaration_n allow_v of_o no_o necessity_n of_o compel_v the_o subject_a out_o of_o the_o proper_a county_n in_o case_n of_o actual_a rebellion_n and_o only_o against_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n the_o ground_n whereof_o be_v a_o mistake_n in_o recital_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o 1._o e._n 3._o by_o the_o act_n of_o confirmation_n of_o 4._o h._n 4._o of_o the_o word_n and_o between_o the_o two_o word_n necessity_n and_o sudden_a come_n the_o act_n of_o 1._o e._n 3._o go_v thus_o that_o no_o man_n be_v distrain_v to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o county_n but_o where_o necessity_n require_v and_o sudden_a come_n of_o strange_a enemy_n into_o the_o realm_n and_o the_o act_n of_o 4._o h._n 4._o which_o as_o we_o have_v before_o observe_v recite_v not_o the_o whole_a statute_n of_o 1._o e._n 3._o but_o so_o much_o thereof_o as_o upon_o occasion_n of_o the_o late_a foreign_a service_n do_v then_o concern_v the_o present_a complaint_n be_v in_o these_o word_n that_o none_o shall_v be_v distrain_v to_o go_v out_o of_o their_o county_n but_o only_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o necessity_n of_o sudden_a come_n of_o strange_a enemy_n into_o the_o realm_n whereas_o if_o in_o this_o recital_n the_o word_n and_o have_v be_v put_v in_o place_n of_o the_o word_n of_o or_o before_o it_o both_o have_v agree_v and_o so_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o statute_n as_o to_o this_o matter_n of_o go_v out_o of_o the_o county_n have_v be_v upon_o 4._o h._n 4._o as_o it_o be_v upon_o 1._o e._n 3._o that_o no_o man_n be_v compel_v to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o county_n but_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n or_o come_n of_o enemy_n the_o word_n and_o in_o exposition_n of_o statute_n be_v most_o frequent_o take_v for_o or_o according_a to_o the_o subject_a matter_n and_o so_o the_o statute_n have_v except_v two_o case_n necessity_n arise_v from_o within_o by_o actual_a rebellion_n and_o necessity_n arise_v from_o abroad_o by_o sudden_a come_n of_o strange_a enemy_n this_o exception_n in_o both_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o defence_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o according_a to_o the_o common_a law_n of_o which_o the_o statute_n be_v but_o declarative_a and_o the_o practice_n both_o before_o and_o since_o and_o indeed_o it_o can_v be_v no_o otherwise_o in_o property_n of_o speech_n for_o there_o can_v be_v a_o cause_n of_o necessity_n of_o the_o sudden_a come_n of_o enemy_n but_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o defence_n against_o their_o come_n and_o in_o this_o case_n we_o be_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o statute_n 1._o ed._n 3._o as_o it_o be_v original_o as_o it_o be_v also_o true_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o declaration_n and_o agree_v with_o all_o print_a statute_n both_o in_o english_a and_o french_a and_o ancient_a manuscript_n all_o of_o they_o derive_v from_o the_o original_a statute_n roll_v which_o be_v lose_v before_o 4._o h._n 4._o that_o which_o now_o remain_v be_v but_o a_o transcript_n of_o a_o transcript_n thus_o then_o without_o more_o we_o shall_v apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o objection_n as_o it_o be_v make_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o 1._o e._n 3._o both_o in_o the_o original_a and_o the_o recital_n and_o we_o say_v that_o the_o subject_n be_v compellable_a to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o county_n for_o defence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o necessity_n shall_v require_v before_o the_o land_n or_o other_o entry_n of_o the_o enemy_n to_o prevent_v his_o land_n or_o entry_n and_o for_o this_o we_o shall_v but_o recite_v the_o word_n again_o and_o they_o be_v these_o that_o no_o man_n be_v compel_v to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o county_n but_o where_o necessity_n require_v and_o sudden_a come_n of_o strange_a enemy_n into_o the_o realm_n wherein_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o most_o plain_a that_o these_o word_n require_v no_o such_o actual_a land_n or_o entry_n of_o a_o enemy_n into_o the_o kingdom_n before_o the_o subject_n be_v compellable_a out_o of_o his_o county_n for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o act_n be_v not_o as_o to_o this_o point_n when_o the_o enemy_n be_v come_v but_o upon_o the_o come_n not_o within_o the_o realm_n but_o into_o the_o realm_n and_o all_o man_n know_v that_o in_o ordinary_a speech_n a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v come_v into_o a_o place_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o a_o remove_n to_o a_o place_n but_o most_o proper_o when_o he_o be_v on_o his_o way_n especial_o when_o he_o approach_v with_o a_o intention_n to_o enter_v thereinto_o and_o in_o such_o sense_n these_o word_n of_o come_v into_o the_o realm_n must_v be_v take_v in_o this_o statute_n but_o in_o case_n the_o word_n of_o the_o enemy_n come_v into_o the_o realm_n may_v bear_v a_o doubtful_a interpretation_n that_o sense_n must_v be_v take_v which_o agree_v with_o the_o common_a law_n before_o practise_v whereof_o this_o act_n be_v but_o declarative_a and_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o all_o age_n since_o that_o be_v that_o the_o subject_n have_v ever_o be_v command_v and_o go_v out_o of_o the_o county_n against_o the_o enemy_n before_o any_o land_n or_o entry_n and_o to_o give_v this_o statute_n of_o 1._o e._n 3._o any_o other_o sense_n be_v against_o all_o common_a reason_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o government_n
by_o which_o we_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o bind_v our_o subject_n nevertheless_o though_o preamble_n be_v not_o in_o themselves_o sufficient_a to_o declare_v law_n yet_o we_o deny_v not_o they_o be_v of_o good_a use_n though_o not_o convince_a argument_n to_o expound_v they_o and_o for_o our_o power_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o rebellion_n beside_o what_o have_v be_v say_v we_o may_v also_o add_v if_o it_o be_v material_a to_o this_o commission_n preamble_n recital_n and_o other_o necessary_a inference_n out_o of_o other_o statute_n make_v since_o those_o intend_a in_o this_o recital_n which_o will_v prove_v that_o in_o case_n of_o rebellion_n all_o our_o subject_n ought_v to_o assist_v we_o and_o to_o attend_v our_o person_n 3._o upon_o our_o command_n for_o the_o defence_n thereof_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v require_v it_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o this_o act_n now_o urge_v against_o we_o appear_v to_o be_v for_o the_o service_n of_o ireland_n and_o the_o intention_n of_o it_o for_o so_o much_o as_o be_v the_o enact_a part_n be_v to_o take_v away_o all_o question_n concerning_o the_o press_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n for_o the_o suppression_n of_o the_o rebellion_n in_o ireland_n and_o so_o concern_v foreign_a service_n and_o not_o home_n defence_n either_o against_o invasion_n of_o enemy_n or_o rebel_n and_o thus_o far_o the_o work_n of_o the_o declaration_n have_v be_v to_o overthrow_v our_o commission_n by_o statute_n allege_v to_o be_v direct_o against_o it_o there_o remain_v yet_o some_o other_o objection_n draw_v from_o the_o opinion_n of_o former_a parliament_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o ourselves_o and_o our_o predecessor_n and_o those_o not_o direct_o but_o by_o inference_n but_o these_o as_o we_o shall_v show_v be_v so_o far_o from_o conclude_v against_o our_o commission_n that_o they_o rather_o prove_v the_o contrary_a the_o first_o of_o these_o objection_n be_v upon_o the_o statute_n of_o 1._o jac._n c._n 25._o and_o 21._o iac._n c._n 28._o of_o repeal_v and_o be_v thus_o that_o the_o statute_n of_o 4_o and_o 5._o ph._n and_o m._n cap._n 2._o have_v repeal_v this_o commission_n for_o so_o the_o declaration_n suppose_v they_o have_v show_v little_a care_n of_o their_o own_o and_o the_o subject_n liberty_n in_o the_o parliament_n of_o ●_z iac._n to_o repeal_v that_o statute_n thereby_o to_o revive_v the_o power_n of_o this_o commission_n which_o will_v have_v subject_v the_o people_n to_o far_o great_a bondage_n and_o from_o thence_o infer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o the_o parliament_n of_o 1._o jac._n will_v have_v repeal_v 4_o and_o 5_o ph._n and_o m._n as_o lik●wise_o from_o the_o statute_n of_o 21._o iac._n which_o repeal_v the_o statute_n of_o 13._o e._n 1._o and_o 33._o h._n 8._o that_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o the_o parliament_n of_o 21._o jac._n will_v have_v repeal_v those_o statute_n which_o in_o a_o moderate_a manner_n proportion_v the_o arm_n every_o man_n be_v to_o find_v in_o certainty_n and_o suffer_v a_o act_n mean_v this_o of_o 5._o h._n 4._o to_o continue_v which_o establish_v a_o power_n in_o the_o king_n without_o limitation_n not_o only_o to_o impose_v arm_n but_o to_o command_v the_o person_n of_o the_o subject_n at_o pleasure_n to_o this_o we_o say_v that_o both_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o objection_n be_v mistake_v for_o as_o we_o have_v already_o show_v neither_o be_v this_o commission_n repeal_v by_o the_o act_n of_o 4_o and_o 5_o p._n and_o m._n nor_o be_v there_o any_o such_o unlimited_a power_n give_v or_o bondage_n by_o it_o as_o be_v pretend_v and_o therefore_o our_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o those_o parliament_n may_v repeal_v 4_o and_o 5_o p._n and_o m._n as_o too_o hard_a and_o 13._o e._n 1._o and_o 33_o h._n 8._o as_o of_o no_o use_n and_o put_v the_o militia_n of_o this_o kingdom_n again_o whole_o under_o the_o power_n of_o this_o commission_n be_v so_o indifferent_a between_o both_o the_o other_o and_o indeed_o the_o militia_n do_v after_o continue_v under_o lieutenant_n who_o have_v in_o effect_n the_o power_n give_v by_o this_o commission_n and_o now_o we_o shall_v return_v this_o objection_n thus_o that_o those_o parliament_n of_o 1._o jac._n and_o 21._o iac._n will_v have_v show_v little_a care_n of_o the_o safety_n and_o defence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o have_v repeal_v those_o statute_n which_o make_v provision_n for_o arm_n if_o they_o have_v think_v there_o be_v no_o law_n or_o power_n leave_v in_o the_o king_n to_o charge_v man_n with_o arm_n for_o defence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o the_o declaration_n affirm_v the_o law_n now_o to_o be_v but_o whosoever_o consider_v that_o at_o that_o time_n and_o long_o before_o the_o power_n of_o impose_v arm_n be_v put_v in_o execution_n by_o lieutenant_n and_o deputy-lieutenant_n by_o authority_n of_o their_o commission_n which_o to_o this_o purpose_n be_v the_o same_o with_o our_o commission_n of_o array_n and_o that_o this_o power_n be_v not_o complain_v of_o in_o those_o parliament_n must_v conclude_v it_o more_o than_o probable_a that_o those_o parliament_n do_v then_o conceive_v there_o be_v a_o sufficient_a power_n remain_v in_o the_o king_n to_o impose_v arm_n the_o next_o objection_n be_v from_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o 4._o and_o 5._o philip_n and_o mary_n c._n 3_o that_o if_o our_o commission_n have_v be_v authorize_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o statute_n of_o ph._n and_o mar._n have_v be_v to_o little_a purpose_n whereby_o the_o penalty_n of_o imprisonment_n for_o ten_o day_n or_o forty_o shilling_n be_v impose_v upon_o such_o as_o do_v not_o appear_v at_o muster_n be_v summon_v thereunto_o by_o the_o king_n commissioner_n authorize_v for_o that_o purpose_n intimate_v as_o that_o the_o act_n of_o phil_n and_o mar._n will_v never_o have_v be_v make_v if_o they_o have_v then_o conceive_v that_o we_o have_v power_n to_o grant_v such_o commission_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o particular_a arm_n and_o proportion_n of_o arm_n be_v then_o before_o appoint_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o 4._o and_o 5._o ph._n and_o mar._n cap._n 2._o under_o certain_a penalty_n upon_o those_o who_o shall_v be_v defective_a and_o so_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o care_n of_o the_o commissioner_n of_o array_n be_v supply_v by_o the_o provision_n of_o that_o statute_n and_o the_o commission_n of_o array_n be_v not_o so_o proper_a but_o in_o time_n of_o danger_n and_o of_o a_o large_a extent_n than_o the_o power_n of_o muster_v a_o commission_n of_o muster_n which_o be_v part_n of_o the_o power_n of_o a_o commission_n of_o array_n will_v then_o serve_v the_o ordinary_a turn_n and_o for_o every_o ordinary_a default_n but_o at_o a_o muster_n in_o a_o time_n of_o no_o danger_n the_o punishment_n by_o 4._o and_o 5._o ph._n and_o mar._n cap._n 3._o be_v great_a enough_o and_o for_o return_v of_o this_o objection_n we_o say_v as_o we_o observe_v before_o that_o this_o statute_n give_v no_o new_a power_n to_o grant_v commission_n for_o muster_n but_o admit_v the_o power_n to_o grant_v such_o commission_n to_o have_v be_v in_o the_o king_n before_o that_o time_n and_o whereas_o the_o statute_n of_o 13._o e._n 1._o appoint_v no_o other_o officer_n but_o the_o constable_n for_o view_n of_o arm_n it_o appear_v by_o these_o statute_n of_o phil._n and_o mar._n that_o the_o king_n may_v appoint_v his_o commissioner_n which_o he_o can_v not_o if_o this_o power_n of_o arm_n have_v be_v whole_o ground_v upon_o that_o statute_n the_o last_o objection_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o common_a opinion_n or_o practice_n and_o be_v this_o that_o the_o commission_n of_o lieutenancy_n so_o grievous_a to_o the_o people_n and_o declare_v illegal_a in_o parliament_n have_v not_o be_v so_o often_o issue_v and_o so_o much_o press_v upon_o they_o if_o the_o commission_n of_o array_n not_o much_o differ_v from_o it_o in_o power_n and_o not_o at_o all_o less_o grievous_a to_o the_o subject_a might_n by_o the_o warrant_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n of_o this_o realm_n have_v supply_v their_o room_n to_o this_o our_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o stand_v upon_o two_o ground_n first_o that_o the_o commission_n of_o lieutenancy_n be_v grievous_a second_o that_o they_o be_v illegal_a both_o which_o so_o far_o forth_o at_o least_o as_o to_o the_o power_n wherein_o they_o do_v not_o exceed_v the_o power_n of_o this_o commission_n for_o the_o other_o power_n be_v not_o now_o in_o question_n be_v clear_o mistake_v for_o as_o for_o the_o grievousness_n we_o say_v these_o commission_n be_v such_o as_o have_v be_v long_o use_v in_o the_o happy_a time_n of_o
