A76829	Resolved upon the question· Or A question resolved concerning the right which the King hath to Hull, or any other fort or place of strength for the defence of the kingdome. Wherein is likewise proved, that neither the setling of the militia as tis done by the Parliament, nor the keeping of Hull by Sir Iohn Hotham, nor any other act that the Parliament have yet done is illegall, but necessary, just, and according to that power which the law hath given them.

this_o day_n in_o every_o leet_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v true_a and_o faithful_a

to_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n king_n charles_n and_o his_o heir_n which_o word_n heir_n prove_v the_o descent_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o other_o argument_n which_o may_v be_v use_v to_o destroy_v the_o trust_n but_o according_a to_o my_o promise_n in_o the_o beginning_n i_o must_v now_o show_v where_o the_o fallacy_n and_o their_o mistake_n lie_v that_o use_v those_o argument_n and_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o consequence_n for_o though_o the_o king_n come_v to_o the_o crown_n by_o descent_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o he_o have_v it_o not_o by_o way_n of_o trust_n for_o without_o doubt_n the_o trust_n descend_v with_o it_o and_o the_o trust_n be_v that_o only_a which_o he_o have_v by_o descent_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o if_o the_o king_n have_v such_o a_o estate_n by_o descent_n as_o they_o conceive_v he_o have_v than_o he_o may_v sell_v the_o crown_n or_o dispose_v of_o it_o as_o he_o please_v the_o parliament_n do_v give_v henry_n the_o eight_o power_n to_o dispose_v of_o the_o crown_n to_o who_o he_o please_v by_o his_o letter_n patent_n or_o last_o will_n but_o when_o he_o intend_v to_o go_v in_o person_n against_o france_n and_o therefore_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o crown_n settle_v because_o he_o will_v not_o break_v that_o trust_v his_o people_n have_v repose_v in_o he_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o 35._o of_o that_o king_n the_o crown_n be_v settle_v by_o a_o parliament_n then_o hold_v and_o in_o the_o preamble_n of_o that_o statute_n that_o king_n himself_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o trust_n and_o confidence_n his_o people_n have_v former_o repose_v in_o he_o and_o to_o prove_v far_o that_o a_o trust_n do_v descend_v to_o the_o king_n of_o england_n with_o his_o crown_n i_o shall_v show_v how_o kingom_n first_o begin_v and_o i_o shall_v take_v a_o difference_n between_o kingdom_n rule_v by_o royal_a government_n and_o kingdom_n of_o politic_a governance_n and_o that_o be_v the_o difference_n make_v
