A89520	An argument or, debate in law: of the great question concerning the militia; as it is now settled by ordinance of both the Houses of Parliament. By which, it is endeavoured, to prove the legalitie of it, and to make it warrantable by the fundamentall laws of the land. In which, answer is also given to all objections that do arise, either directly, or collaterally concerning the same. All which is referred to the judicious reader. by J.M. C.L.	Marsh, John, 1612-1657.; Milton, John, 1608-1674, attributed name.	1642 (1642)	Wing M575; Thomason E119_13; ESTC R18112	46,929	48

those_o very_a obloquy_n and_o dishonourable_a detraction_n which_o be_v coin_a for_o his_o honourable_a assembly_n of_o parliament_n for_o as_o all_o our_o book_n agree_v the_o parliament_n be_v as_o one_o body_n and_o the_o chief_a or_o head_n of_o this_o body_n be_v the_o king_n and_o with_o this_o agree_v dyer_n foe_n 60._o a._n who_o say_v 2._o ●yer_n foe_n 60._o 2._o that_o the_o estate_n of_o parliament_n consist_v of_o three_o part_n viz._n of_o the_o king_n as_o the_o chief_a head_n and_o of_o the_o lord_n the_o chief_a and_o principal_a member_n of_o the_o body_n and_o of_o the_o commons_o knight_n citizens_z and_o burgess_n the_o inferior_a member_n and_o these_o make_v the_o body_n of_o the_o parliament_n now_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o that_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o make_v but_o one_o body_n and_o that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o head_n of_o this_o body_n as_o in_o truth_n the_o law_n be_v than_o it_o will_v thus_o in_o reason_n follow_v that_o no_o more_o than_o you_o can_v divide_v the_o head_n from_o the_o natural_a body_n and_o yet_o preserve_v the_o body_n alive_a can_v you_o divide_v the_o king_n from_o the_o parliament_n and_o yet_o have_v the_o parliament_n continue_v as_o in_o truth_n it_o do_v and_o i_o hope_v that_o there_o be_v none_o so_o void_a of_o reason_n as_o to_o think_v that_o the_o king_n divide_v of_o himself_o from_o his_o parliament_n for_o the_o case_n be_v utter_o mistake_v to_o say_v that_o the_o parliament_n sever_v the_o king_n from_o they_o shall_v destroy_v his_o parliament_n though_o i_o suppose_v that_o many_o who_o dare_v not_o bring_v their_o action_n to_o the_o testae_fw-la will_v have_v it_o so_o now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o unhappy_a division_n the_o parliament_n do_v virtual_o and_o actual_o continue_v which_o god_n defend_v it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o for_o then_o parliament_n and_o no_o parliament_n will_v be_v all_o one_o then_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o king_n who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o this_o great_a body_n be_v not_o divide_v in_o law_n though_o he_o be_v in_o distance_n for_o if_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o body_n will_v be_v destroy_v for_o that_o a_o body_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o can_v subsist_v without_o a_o head_n and_o it_o must_v likewise_o follow_v that_o they_o usurp_v no_o honour_n or_o power_n to_o themselves_o more_o than_o by_o the_o law_n be_v due_a to_o style_v themselves_o the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o imputation_n or_o dishonourable_a invective_n thing_n

but_o to_o this_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o the_o king_n likewise_o in_o judgement_n of_o law_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n and_o therefore_o he_o notwithstanding_o this_o reason_n may_v be_v as_o proper_a a_o judge_n of_o the_o imminent_a danger_n as_o any_o one_o and_o upon_o this_o ground_n his_o judgement_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v receive_v then_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o yea_o of_o the_o parliament_n itself_o &_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o imminent_a danger_n what_o then_o mean_v this_o great_a contention_n about_o the_o militia_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a the_o rule_n of_o law_n likewise_o be_v that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v for_o that_o it_o be_v presume_v that_o what_o the_o king_n

a_o dishonour_n to_o themselves_o and_o a_o great_a gravamen_fw-la and_o prejudice_n to_o the_o public_a and_o if_o so_o my_o conclusion_n be_v that_o i_o will_v as_o willing_a a_o man_n shall_v do_v
