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

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

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

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

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
