extends to the whole body Politick by the well or ill managing thereof for then there is the same reason as in making of new Lawes for why was not the power of making new Lawes committed to the trust of One but reserv'd for the unanimous agreement of all Three but because the intent of the Architects was that no new thing which was of publique concernment should be introduced as Authoritative and binding without the consent of the three Estates therefore no transactions in this Kingdome can be equipollent to a Law which are not enlivened and informed with this threefold Authority Secondly such as are accompanied with a necessity of publique charge as in time of Warre for then is the Purse of the Kingdome required but it is evident as I proved before that this must be done by the concurrence of all three for otherwise it would be all one to put the power of our Estates in the hands of One as to put the power of such undertakings in His hands alone which of necessity doe introduce an engagement of publique charge I shall now lay downe a few Supposals by way of recapitulation and you shall not need to go to John Goodwin for a legall Catechisme Suppose then first that a People wearied to it by conquest or led to it by free choice both Nobles and Commons make a resignation of themselves by publique Oath and agreement to our Soveraigne to be Governed by Him and His Heires for ever by such and such fundamentall Lawes here we find a fountain-head of Supremacy though stopped in the streames of its exercise Secondly suppose that future contingent cases will happen requiring additionall Lawes and therefore they covenant with their Soveraigne that in the constitution of postnate Lawes they both Nobles and Commons will reserve to themselves a free concurrence and will not be subject to any such Lawes as shall be framed by any One or Two of the Estates Thirdly suppose that although the Peers can assemble in their Personall capacities yet the Commons through the greatnesse of their number cannot and therefore it was further articled and agreed upon that every Corporation should have power to delegate one as their Representative in this publique businesse where the Nobles by themselves and the Commons by their Substitutes assembling the whole Body may convene for the establishing of new and expounding of old Lawes Fourthly suppose because the occasion of making new or interpreting old Lawes would not be constant and perpetuall and that it would carry an appearance of a monstrous Government where there were three Heads they did establish these three Estates to be visibly existent according to future emergencies and because a Monarchy was designed and intended and therefore a Supremacy of power must be reserved for One it was concluded that these two Estates should be a Convention of His Subjects sworne to Him and all former Lawes and the new which were to be enacted should be called His Lawes and they bound by their Oath to obey Him in them as soone as they had receiv'd His Royall Assent Fifthly suppose because He was bound by His Oath to Governe by His Lawes that He by His Councell should best know when there was need of making new Lawes therefore the power of Assembling and Dissolving these Estates was solely committed to His hands Here is the model of this blessed Government and now you may perceive you want not Lawes but your KING to protect you by His Lawes And what quintessence of delusion what efficacy of errour hath bewitched you to betray and scandalize the succours of your reason to forsake a certain and duely attemper'd Liberty and to receive a Bondage with rejoycing from the Sword point of a Rebell as from a Benefactour an Out-law of Heaven whose conscience the X.
