there_o be_v law_n that_o declare_v every_o person_n of_o the_o realm_n guilty_a of_o high-treason_n who_o shall_v keep_v correspondence_n with_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n and_o who_o shall_v hide_v priest_n and_o monk_n there_o be_v law_n enough_o for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n the_o parliament_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o put_v those_o law_n into_o strict_a execution_n the_o king_n be_v consent_n be_v not_o necessary_a for_o the_o enact_v of_o new_a law_n for_o that_o purpose_n but_o see_v he_o have_v the_o executive_a power_n of_o the_o law_n in_o his_o hand_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v if_o the_o king_n will_v not_o put_v those_o law_n in_o execution_n then_o and_o in_o that_o case_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o parliament_n may_v lawful_o appoint_v some_o person_n who_o shall_v execute_v those_o law_n for_o otherwise_o for_o what_o end_n be_v law_n make_v if_o it_o be_v always_o in_o the_o power_n of_o one_o individual_a person_n to_o hinder_v their_o execution_n it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o those_o who_o make_v the_o law_n be_v no_o fool_n but_o certain_o they_o have_v not_o be_v wise_a if_o they_o have_v reserve_v no_o power_n to_o themselves_o for_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n whensoever_o the_o king_n shall_v refuse_v so_o to_o do_v it_o be_v not_o then_o necessary_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v new_a law_n to_o bear_v down_o popery_n which_o show_v herself_o bare_a face_a neither_o be_v there_o any_o new_a law_n necessary_a to_o oppose_v the_o king_n and_o to_o declare_v he_o incapable_a of_o the_o government_n for_o all_o the_o law_n which_o before_o that_o time_n have_v be_v make_v against_o popery_n make_v it_o manifest_a with_o great_a force_n and_o necessity_n that_o a_o king_n of_o england_n must_v be_v a_o protestant_n that_o without_o do_v any_o violence_n to_o the_o law_n they_o may_v declare_v to_o james_n ii_o that_o they_o can_v not_o otherwise_o consider_v he_o but_o as_o a_o private_a person_n but_o again_o there_o be_v no_o law_n express_v in_o so_o general_a and_o so_o precise_a term_n but_o admit_v of_o a_o exception_n of_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o law_n of_o england_n that_o the_o parliament_n can_v make_v a_o law_n without_o the_o king_n let_v we_o suppose_v that_o in_o a_o kingdom_n such_o as_o england_n be_v where_o the_o estate_n have_v reserve_v to_o themselves_o one_o part_n of_o the_o sovereign_a power_n a_o king_n go_v about_o to_o alienate_v all_o or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o
