to_o the_o king_n against_o the_o parliament_n in_o this_o war_n but_o that_o controversy_n be_v beside_o my_o task_n here_o therefore_o i_o proceed_v and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v necessary_a still_o that_o the_o total_a and_o absolute_a supremacy_n have_v these_o power_n viz._n of_o make_v or_o give_v forth_o law_n make_v league_n offensive_a and_o defensive_a denounce_v war_n and_o establish_v peace_n and_o also_o to_o raise_v money_n now_o this_o i_o know_v not_o deny_v by_o any_o public_a and_o approve_a judgement_n but_o these_o man_n have_v their_o bound_n their_o limit_n also_o for_o general_a common_a and_o public_a good_a be_v their_o limit_n their_o chain_n and_o to_o see_v the_o end_n of_o this_o it_o be_v fit_v next_o to_o see_v 12._o who_o be_v judge_n of_o public_a good_a and_o his_o rule_n of_o restraint_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o admit_v this_o absolute_o in_o the_o supreme_a power_n the_o king_n former_o be_v not_o unskilled_a in_o the_o issue_n of_o this_o mystery_n they_o bolt_v out_o what_o other_o will_v bake_v who_o ever_o eat_v it_o now_o it_o be_v plain_a this_o also_o be_v require_v in_o the_o supreme_a power_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o settle_v particular_a law_n suitable_a to_o each_o particular_a occasion_n for_o in_o the_o corrupt_a state_n of_o man_n as_o the_o law_n be_v profitable_a or_o disprofitable_a so_o it_o be_v rellish_v as_o for_o example_n in_o a_o equal_a rate_n the_o just_a man_n like_v the_o equality_n and_o so_o do_v the_o covetous_a but_o he_o say_v no_o rate_n at_o all_o and_o if_o a_o honest_a miser_n can_v be_v he_o approve_v equality_n but_o he_o repine_v at_o the_o payment_n now_o the_o boundary_a be_v evident_a public_a good_a and_o of_o this_o in_o the_o manifest_a part_n of_o it_o
