will_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o often_o sacrifice_v to_o their_o private_a quarrel_n they_o be_v as_o much_o at_o his_o beck_n as_o his_o pack_n of_o hound_n be_v at_o the_o sound_n of_o his_o horn_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o march_v against_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n or_o against_o their_o own_o natural_a prince_n so_o that_o this_o be_v but_o exchange_v one_o tyrant_n for_o three_o hundred_o for_o so_o many_o the_o baron_n of_o england_n be_v account_v at_o least_o and_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o security_n vest_v in_o the_o people_n against_o the_o arbitrary_a power_n of_o the_o king_n which_o be_v to_o say_v the_o baron_n take_v care_n to_o maintain_v their_o own_o tyranny_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o king_n tyrahnize_v over_o they_o but_o it_o be_v say_v the_o baron_n grow_v poor_a by_o the_o luxury_n of_o the_o time_n and_o the_o common_a people_n grow_v rich_a they_o exchange_v their_o vassalage_n for_o lease_n rent_n fines_n and_o the_o like_a they_o do_v so_o and_o thereby_o become_v entitle_v to_o the_o service_n of_o themselves_o and_o so_o overthrow_v the_o settlement_n and_o from_o hence_o come_v a_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o i_o hope_v england_n have_v reason_n to_o value_v the_o alteration_n let_v they_o that_o think_v not_o reflect_v on_o the_o freedom_n the_o commons_o enjoy_v in_o poland_n where_o the_o gothick_n institution_n remain_v and_o they_o will_v be_v satisfy_v in_o this_o establishment_n of_o a_o parliament_n the_o sword_n be_v indeed_o trust_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o purse_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o people_n the_o people_n can_v make_v peace_n or_o war_n without_o the_o king_n no●_n the_o king_n can_v raise_v or_o maintain_v a_o army_n without_o the_o people_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a balance_n but_o we_o be_v tell_v the_o power_n of_o the_o purse_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a security_n without_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n what!_o not_o against_o ten_o thousand_o man_n to_o answer_v this_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o examine_v how_o far_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o people_n already_o and_o next_o whether_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v true_a i_o say_v the_o sword_n be_v in_o part_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o people_n already_o by_o the_o militia_n who_o as_o the_o argument_n say_v be_v the_o people_n themselves_o and_o how_o be_v they_o balance_v it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v commissioned_n by_o the_o king_n but_o they_o may_v refuse_v to_o meet_v twice_o till_o the_o first_o pay_n be_v reimburse_v to_o the_o country_n and_o where_o shall_v the_o king_n raise_v it_o without_o a_o parliament_n that_o very_a militia_n will_v prevent_v he_o so_o that_o our_o law_n therein_o authorise_v the_o militia_n to_o refuse_v the_o command_n of_o the_o king_n tacit_o put_v the_o sword_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o people_n i_o come_v now_o to_o examine_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n that_o the_o purse_n be_v not_o a_o equivalent_a to_o the_o sword_n which_o i_o deny_v to_o be_v true_a and_o here_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o examine_v how_o often_o our_o king_n of_o england_n have_v raise_v army_n on_o their_o own_o head_n but_o have_v be_v force_v to_o disband_v they_o for_o want_n of_o money_n nay_o have_v be_v force_v to_o call_v a_o parliament_n to_o raise_v money_n to_o disband_v they_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o be_v a_o instance_n of_o both_o these_o for_o his_o first_o army_n against_o the_o scot_n he_o be_v force_v to_o dismiss_v for_o want_v of_o pay_n and_o then_o be_v force_v to_o call_v a_o parliament_n to_o pay_v and_o dismiss_v the_o scot_n and_o though_o he_o have_v a_o army_n in_o the_o field_n at_o the_o pacification_n and_o a_o church_n army_n too_o yet_o he_o dare_v not_o attempt_v to_o raise_v money_n by_o they_o i_o be_o therefore_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o purse_n be_v a_o equivalent_a to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n and_o i_o believe_v i_o can_v make_v it_o appear_v if_o i_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o instance_n in_o those_o numerous_a army_n which_o gaspar_n coligny_n admiral_n of_o france_n and_o henry_n the_o four_o king_n of_o navarre_n and_o william_n the_o first_o p._n of_o orange_n bring_v of_o germany_n into_o france_n and_o into_o the_o low_a country_n which_o all_o vanish_v and_o can_v attempt_v nothing_o for_o want_n of_o a_o purse_n to_o maintain_v they_o but_o to_o come_v near_o what_o make_v the_o effort_n of_o king_n charles_n all_o abortive_a but_o want_v of_o the_o purse_n time_n be_v he_o have_v the_o sword_n in_o his_o hand_n when_o the_o duke_n of_o buckingham_n go_v on_o those_o fruitless_a voyage_n to_o rochel_n and_o himself_o afterward_o to_o scotland_n he_o have_v force_n on_o foot_n a_o great_a many_o more_o than_o five_o thousand_o which_o the_o argument_n mention_n but_o he_o have_v not_o the_o purse_n at_o last_o he_o attempt_v to_o take_v it_o without_o a_o parliament_n and_o that_o ruin_v he_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o find_v the_o power_n of_o the_o purse_n so_o much_o out-ballanced_n the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n that_o he_o sit_v still_o and_o let_v the_o parliament_n disband_v his_o army_n for_o he_o almost_o whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n beside_o the_o power_n of_o the_o purse_n in_o england_n differ_v from_o what_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v in_o other_o country_n because_o it_o be_v so_o sacred_a a_o thing_n that_o no_o king_n ever_o touch_v at_o it_o but_o he_o find_v his_o ruin_n in_o it_o nay_o it_o be_v so_o odious_a to_o the_o nation_n that_o whoever_o attempt_n it_o must_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o entire_a conquest_n or_o nothing_o if_o then_o neither_o the_o consent_n of_o parliament_n nor_o the_o smallness_n of_o a_o army_n propose_v nor_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o milia_n which_o be_v the_o people_n themselves_o nor_o the_o power_n of_o the_o purse_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a balance_n against_o the_o arbitrary_a power_n of_o the_o king_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v be_v ten_o thousand_o man_n in_o arm_n without_o money_n without_o parliament_n authority_n hem_v in_o with_o the_o whole_a militia_n of_o england_n and_o damn_v by_o the_o law_n be_v they_o of_o such_o force_n as_o to_o break_v our_o constitution_n i_o can_v see_v any_o reason_n for_o such_o a_o thought_n the_o parliament_n of_o england_n be_v a_o body_n of_o who_o we_o may_v say_v that_o no_o weapon_n form_v against_o they_o can_v ever_o prosper_v and_o they_o know_v their_o own_o strength_n and_o they_o know_v what_o force_n be_v needful_a and_o what_o hurtful_a and_o they_o will_v certain_o maintain_v the_o first_o and_o disband_v the_o last_o it_o may_v be_v say_v here_o it_o be_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o ten_o thousand_o man_n it_o be_v not_o the_o matter_n of_o a_o army_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n itself_o grant_v a_o revenue_n for_o life_n and_o the_o next_o king_n will_v call_v it_o my_o revenue_n and_o so_o grant_v a_o army_n for_o this_o king_n and_o the_o next_o will_v say_v give_v i_o my_o army_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v no_o often_o ask_v in_o parliament_n than_o deny_v and_o we_o have_v so_o many_o instance_n in_o our_o late_a time_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o purse_n that_o it_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a balance_n king_n charles_n the_o second_o as_o i_o hint_v before_o be_v very_o loath_a to_o part_v with_o his_o army_n raise_v in_o 1676._o but_o he_o be_v force_v to_o it_o for_o want_v of_o money_n to_o pay_v they_o he_o dare_v not_o try_v whether_o when_o money_n have_v raise_v a_o army_n a_o army_n can_v not_o raise_v money_n it_o be_v true_a his_o revenue_n be_v large_a but_o frugality_n be_v not_o his_o talon_n and_o that_o ruine_v the_o design_n king_n james_n the_o second_o be_v a_o good_a
