A35931 The royalist's defence vindicating the King's proceedings in the late warre made against him, clearly discovering, how and by what impostures the incendiaries of these distractions have subverted the knowne law of the land, the Protestant religion, and reduced the people to an unparallel'd slavery.

have_v no_o voice_n in_o reverse_v judgement_n or_o damn_v patent_n in_o parliament_n therefore_o they_o have_v not_o a_o voice_n in_o pass_a bill_n for_o public_a law_n answer_n mr._n pryn_n word_n

prove_v the_o contrary_a then_o that_o which_o mr._n pryn_n infer_v upon_o they_o king_n say_v he_o have_v in_o former_a time_n show_v their_o reason_n why_o they_o deny_v to_o pass_v bill_n present_v

pryn_n can_v render_v reason_n of_o his_o be_v at_o westmiuster_n unless_o he_o have_v be_v there_o but_o mr._n pryn_n know_v all_o king_n have_v most_o frequent_o reject_v bill_n pass_v by_o both_o house_n and_o bill_n declare_v by_o the_o member_n to_o concern_v the_o public_a good_a without_o render_v their_o reason_n for_o the_o same_o and_o for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o protector_n to_o confirm_v bill_n pass_v by_o both_o house_n if_o that_o be_v grant_v that_o in_o some_o case_n of_o imminent_a necessity_n the_o protector_n consent_n may_v make_v good_a and_o perfect_a such_o bill_n it_o nothing_o prove_v the_o absolute_a power_n of_o both_o house_n without_o the_o king_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a and_o plain_o demonstrate_v the_o imperfect_a power_n of_o the_o two_o house_n who_o can_v without_o the_o consent_n of_o a_o protector_n in_o such_o case_n make_v any_o complete_a and_o bind_a law_n therefore_o if_o not_o strong_a the_o same_o it_o must_v be_v when_o we_o have_v a_o king_n no_o infant_n and_o reign_v without_o a_o protector_n but_o say_v mr._n pryn_n in_o country_n where_o king_n be_v elective_a by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o present_a king_n until_o a_o new_a one_o be_v choose_v the_o people_n have_v no_o king_n over_o they_o may_v make_v bind_v law_n here_o although_o i_o believe_v mr._n pryn_n can_v for_o other_o country_n make_v his_o position_n good_a yet_o this_o admit_v to_o he_o rather_o disprove_v his_o argument_n against_o the_o king_n negative_a voice_n for_o of_o his_o own_o show_v it_o appear_v that_o in_o those_o

much_o more_o they_o can_v where_o king_n be_v hereditary_a therefore_o by_o mr._n pryn_n own_o argument_n it_o follow_v that_o in_o this_o nation_n neither_o the_o people_n nor_o the_o two_o house_n without_o the_o king_n have_v power_n to_o make_v law_n for_o we_o have_v no_o interregnum_fw-la there_o be_v not_o with_o we_o any_o time_n of_o vacancy_n 30._o of_o a_o king_n eo_fw-la instant_n
