A89520	An argument or, debate in law: of the great question concerning the militia; as it is now settled by ordinance of both the Houses of Parliament. By which, it is endeavoured, to prove the legalitie of it, and to make it warrantable by the fundamentall laws of the land. In which, answer is also given to all objections that do arise, either directly, or collaterally concerning the same. All which is referred to the judicious reader. by J.M. C.L.	Marsh, John, 1612-1657.; Milton, John, 1608-1674, attributed name.	1642 (1642)	Wing M575; Thomason E119_13; ESTC R18112	46,929	48

be_v compatible_a and_o may_v stand_v with_o the_o oath_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o king_n this_o may_v be_v questionable_a and_o under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v that_o they_o can_v for_o that_o as_o i_o have_v show_v his_o oath_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n tie_v his_o majesty_n to_o do_v justice_n to_o his_o people_n and_o the_o grant_n of_o new_a law_n unto_o they_o upon_o their_o

it_o thus_o that_o the_o king_n have_v make_v a_o breach_n of_o that_o trust_v repose_v in_o he_o by_o god_n and_o his_o people_n as_o in_o truth_n i_o have_v clear_v it_o unto_o you_o then_o none_o so_o proper_a to_o supply_v this_o defect_n in_o his_o majesty_n by_o the_o dispose_n of_o the_o militia_n for_o the_o defence_n and_o protection_n of_o the_o king_n &_o kingdom_n as_o the_o

but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o king_n derive_v his_o crown_n and_o regal_a power_n from_o god_n and_o that_o therefore_o he_o be_v responsible_a to_o god_n alone_o for_o his_o action_n and_o not_o to_o man_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o strange_a episcopal_a and_o illegal_a objection_n for_o what_o be_v this_o but_o the_o attribute_v of_o a_o power_n to_o the_o king_n above_o law_n and_o the_o give_v of_o he_o such_o a_o prerogative_n that_o shall_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o those_o constitution_n which_o his_o predecessor_n before_o he_o have_v be_v and_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v admit_v that_o as_o all_o power_n be_v derive_v original_o from_o god_n so_o especial_o this_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v therefore_o confer_v by_o a_o extraordinary_a and_o immediate_a hand_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o saul_n and_o david_n 24._o 1_o sam._n 9_o &_o 24._o yet_o they_o likewise_o be_v confirm_v and_o approve_v by_o the_o people_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o holy_a writ_n beside_o saul_n and_o david_n live_v not_o under_o any_o municipal_a or_o positive_a constitution_n of_o man_n which_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o maintain_v and_o observe_v as_o the_o king_n of_o england_n do_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o their_o power_n must_v be_v more_o absolute_a which_o be_v not_o circumscribe_v within_o the_o bound_n and_o limit_n of_o any_o humane_a law_n but_o now_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v subject_v themselves_o to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o receive_v their_o crown_n with_o that_o trust_n and_o tacit_a condition_n of_o defend_v of_o the_o law_n life_n and_o liberty_n of_o their_o subject_n the_o law_n be_v idle_a and_o vain_a if_o there_o shall_v be_v none_o that_o shall_v have_v this_o power_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o this_o trust_n by_o his_o majesty_n to_o interpose_v for_o the_o secure_n of_o he_o his_o law_n and_o people_n and_o if_o this_o divine_a prerogative_n which_o the_o bishop_n do_v so_o buzz_v into_o the_o king_n ear_n shall_v be_v admit_v i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o difference_n will_v be_v make_v betwixt_o a_o absolute_a monarch_n

mix_a monarchy_n but_o i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o that_o they_o who_o so_o much_o defend_v and_o exalt_v this_o divine_a prerogative_n will_v in_o the_o conclusion_n if_o they_o may_v have_v their_o way_n upon_o the_o same_o ground_n advance_v the_o mitre_n above_o the_o crown_n god_n open_v the_o king_n eye_n that_o he_o may_v see_v and_o acknowledge_v himself_o subject_a to_o the_o

way_n to_o the_o weal_n public_a and_o not_o the_o weal_n public_a to_o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o king_n for_o if_o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o king_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v advance_v to_o

the_o sheriff_n have_v these_o office_n appendent_a to_o his_o office_n as_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v be_v by_o the_o law_n responsible_a for_o all_o misdemeanour_n do_v in_o those_o office_n and_o

for_o who_o he_o shall_v answer_v now_o the_o force_n of_o the_o objection_n stand_v thus_o if_o these_o office_n can_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o sheriff_n because_o that_o by_o this_o he_o shall_v
