draw_v from_o the_o analogy_n of_o other_o court_n wherein_o the_o king_n power_n be_v always_o suppose_v to_o be_v virtual_o present_a under_o submission_n we_o conceive_v it_o be_v of_o no_o consequence_n 1._o the_o argument_n à_fw-la minore_fw-la and_o à_fw-la majore_fw-la be_v subject_a to_o many_o fallacy_n and_o unless_o there_o be_v a_o parity_n of_o reason_n in_o every_o requisite_a respect_n between_o the_o thing_n compare_v will_v not_o hold_v good_a a_o petty_a constable_n they_o say_v may_v do_v something_o which_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n can_v do_v and_o the_o steward_n of_o a_o petty_a manor_n have_v power_n to_o administer_v a_o oath_n which_o as_o we_o be_v tell_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o itself_o have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v 2._o that_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n be_v the_o supreme_a judicatory_n we_o have_v be_v tell_v it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o king_n right_a of_o preside_v there_o he_o be_v g_o 2._o the_o supreme_a judge_n and_o the_o member_n of_o both_o house_n his_o council_n which_o be_v so_o the_o reason_n of_o difference_n be_v plain_a between_o that_o and_o other_o judicatory_n in_o sundry_a respect_n 1._o the_o judge_n in_o other_o court_n be_v depute_v by_o he_o and_o do_v all_o in_o his_o name_n and_o by_o his_o authority_n and_o therefore_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o power_n in_o those_o court_n of_o ministerial_a jurisdiction_n be_v sufficient_a his_o personal_a presence_n not_o necessary_a neither_o have_v he_o any_o personal_a vote_n therein_o at_o all_o but_o in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n where_o the_o king_n himself_o be_v the_o supreme_a judge_n judge_v in_o his_o own_o name_n and_o by_o his_o own_o authority_n his_o power_n can_v be_v presume_v to_o be_v real_o present_a without_o either_o the_o actual_a presence_n of_o his_o person_n or_o some_o virtual_a representation_n thereof_o signify_v under_o his_o great_a seal_n 2._o the_o judge_n in_o inferior_a court_n because_o they_o be_v to_o act_v all_o in_o his_o name_n and_o by_o his_o authority_n do_v therefore_o take_v oath_n of_o fidelity_n for_o the_o right_n exercise_v of_o judicature_n in_o their_o several_a place_n sit_v there_o not_o by_o any_o proper_a interest_n of_o their_o own_o but_o only_o in_o right_a of_o the_o king_n who_o judge_n they_o be_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v call_v the_o king_n judge_n and_o his_o minister_n but_o in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n the_o lord_n and_o commons_o sit_v there_o in_o council_n with_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a judge_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a realm_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o call_v the_o king_n judge_n but_o the_o king_n council_n and_o they_o have_v their_o several_a proper_a right_n and_o interest_n peculiar_a and_o distinct_a both_o between_o themselves_o and_o from_o that_o of_o the_o king_n by_o reason_n whereof_o they_o become_v distinct_a h_o 1._o order_n or_o as_o of_o late_a time_n they_o have_v be_v style_v in_o this_o sense_n as_o we_o conceive_v i_o d_n three_o distinct_a estate_n each_o of_o which_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v the_o best_a conservator_n of_o their_o own_o proper_a interest_n if_o the_o power_n of_o any_o one_o estate_n shall_v be_v presume_v to_o be_v virtual_o present_a in_o the_o other_o two_o that_o estate_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o inevitable_o liable_a to_o suffer_v in_o the_o proper_a interest_n thereof_o which_o may_v quick_o prove_v destructive_a to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n the_o safety_n and_o prosperity_n of_o the_o whole_a consist_n in_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o just_a right_n and_o proper_a interest_n of_o the_o main_a part_n viz._n the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o inviolate_a and_o entire_a 3._o the_o judge_n of_o other_o court_n for_o as_o much_o as_o their_o power_n be_v but_o ministerial_a and_o mere_o judicial_a be_v bound_v by_o the_o present_a law_n and_o limit_v also_o by_o their_o own_o act_n so_o as_o they_o may_v neither_o swerve_v from_o the_o law_n in_o give_v judgement_n nor_o reverse_v their_o own_o judgement_n after_o they_o be_v give_v but_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n have_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o king_n supreme_a power_n preside_v therein_o a_o power_n legislative_a as_o well_o as_o judicial_a be_v not_o so_o limit_v by_o any_o earthly_a power_n but_o that_o they_o may_v change_v and_o over-rule_v the_o law_n and_o their_o own_o act_n at_o their_o pleasure_n the_o king_n personal_a assent_n therefore_o be_v not_o needful_a in_o those_o other_o court_n which_o be_v bound_v by_o those_o law_n whereunto_o the_o king_n have_v already_o give_v his_o personal_a assent_n but_o unto_o any_o act_n of_o power_n beside_o beyond_o above_o or_o against_o the_o law_n already_o establish_v we_o have_v be_v inform_v and_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o very_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o king_n personal_a assent_n shall_v be_v absolute_o necessary_a forasmuch_o as_o every_o such_o act_n be_v the_o exercise_n of_o a_o legislative_a rather_o then_o of_o a_o judicial_a power_n and_o no_o act_n of_o legislative_a power_n in_o any_o community_n by_o consent_n of_o all_o nation_n can_v be_v valid_a unless_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o such_o person_n or_o person_n as_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o that_o community_n reside_v in_o which_o

misery_n and_o mischief_n may_v come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n if_o the_o power_n of_o any_o of_o these_o three_o estate_n shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o by_o any_o one_o or_o both_o the_o other_o and_o if_o then_o under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o judicial_a there_o shall_v be_v yet_o real_o exercise_v a_o legislative_a power_n 4._o since_o all_o judicial_a power_n be_v radical_o and_o original_o in_o
