et_fw-la dominationem_fw-la &_o potestatem_fw-la etc._n etc._n than_o this_o discourse_n of_o fortescue_n be_v 2._o another_o reason_n which_o he_o give_v why_o the_o king_n be_v irresistible_a in_o all_o case_n be_v because_o he_o be_v a_o sovereign_n and_o it_o be_v essential_a to_o sovereignty_n to_o be_v irresistible_a in_o all_o case_n which_o be_v false_a for_o the_o king_n of_o poland_n be_v a_o sovereign_n he_o coin_v money_n with_o his_o own_o image_n and_o superscription_n upon_o it_o which_o according_a to_o our_o author_n p._n 50._o be_v a_o certain_a mark_n of_o sovereignty_n and_o p._n 51._o by_o the_o very_a impression_n on_o their_o money_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o be_v their_o sovereign_a lord_n he_o style_v himself_o by_o the_o same_o grace_n of_o god_n with_o any_o king_n in_o christendom_n and_o wear_v the_o like_a crown_n he_o assemble_v diet_n he_o dispose_v of_o all_o office_n he_o judge_v the_o palatine_n themselves_z and_o be_v full_a of_o the_o

out_o of_o it_o read_v lecture_n either_o of_o active_a or_o passive_a obedience_n in_o all_o case_n will_v read_v amiss_o for_o in_o case_n he_o break_v his_o coronation-oath_n they_o owe_v he_o no_o

three_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o jewish_a king_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o caesar_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v irresistible_a in_o all_o case_n now_o that_o be_v more_o than_o i_o know_v and_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o divine_n to_o examine_v whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o as_o also_o to_o inquire_v why_o the_o christian_n of_o nero_n household_n do_v not_o show_v their_o

irresistible_a and_o if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n here_o it_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n in_o poland_n and_o thither_o i_o will_v desire_v our_o author_n to_o send_v it_o by_o the_o next_o ship_n for_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n have_v furnish_v we_o with_o those_o which_o be_v much_o better_a i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o case_n which_o as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v resolve_v under_o the_o covert_n and_o countenance_n of_o the_o former_a that_o as_o well_o inferior_a magistrate_n as_o other_o employ_v by_o a_o popish_a or_o tyrannical_a prince_n in_o the_o most_o illegal_a and_o outrageous_a act_n of_o violence_n such_o as_o cut_v of_o throat_n etc._n etc._n be_v as_o irresistible_a as_o the_o prince_n himself_o under_o pretence_n of_o have_v the_o prince_n authority_n to_o do_v these_o act_n and_o must_v be_v submit_v to_o under_o pain_n of_o hell_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n now_o this_o resolution_n be_v very_o false_a which_o i_o shall_v show_v 1._o by_o confute_v all_o the_o reason_n which_o be_v bring_v for_o it_o and_o 2._o by_o produce_v some_o reason_n against_o it_o his_o reason_n be_v 1_o st_z a_o personal_a authority_n in_o the_o prince_n antecedent_n and_o superior_a to_o all_o law_n which_o make_v himself_o inviolable_a though_o he_o trample_v upon_o all_o law_n and_o exercise_v a_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o make_v all_o other_o inviolable_a under_o he_o who_o act_n by_o this_o authority_n but_o i_o have_v show_v already_o that_o this_o personal_a authority_n be_v false_a and_o groundless_a and_o that_o the_o king_n be_v inviolable_a by_o law_n and_o that_o this_o prerogative_n be_v high_o just_a and_o reasonable_a and_o can_v never_o prejudice_v the_o subject_a for_o the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o can_v give_v such_o a_o illegal_a and_o miscall_v authority_n to_o other_o if_o he_o have_v it_o not_o himself_o to_o show_v that_o the_o authority_n to_o which_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o submit_v be_v not_o in_o law_n but_o in_o person_n though_o act_v contrary_a to_o law_n he_o have_v bring_v this_o follow_a argument_n which_o be_v the_o most_o labour_a of_o any_o in_o his_o book_n 195._o nay_o it_o be_v very_o false_a and_o absurd_a to_o say_v that_o every_o illegal_a be_v a_o unauthoritative_a act_n which_o carry_v no_o obligation_n with_o it_o this_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o humane_a judicature_n and_o the_o daily_a experience_n of_o man_n who_o suffer_v in_o their_o life_n body_n and_o estate_n by_o a_o unjust_a and_o illegal_a sentence_n for_o the_o most_o illegal_a judgement_n be_v valid_a till_o it_o be_v reverse_v by_o some_o superior_a court_n which_o most_o illegal_a but_o authoritative_a judgement_n derive_v its_o authority_n not_o from_o the_o law_n but_o the_o person_n of_o he_o who_o judgement_n it_o be_v now_o to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n this_o be_v very_o false_a and_o absurd_a all_o over_o for_o 1_o sy_n legal_a and_o authoritative_a be_v all_o one_o and_o illegal_a authority_n be_v in_o english_a unlawful_a lawful_a power_n 2_o dly_z it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o a_o illegal_a judgement_n be_v valid_a till_o it_o be_v reverse_v for_o the_o judgement_n of_o a_o man_n to_o death_n in_o a_o arbitrary_a way_n either_o contrary_a to_o the_o verdict_n of_o his_o jury_n or_o without_o a_o jury_n be_v not_o authoritative_a nor_o valid_a at_o all_o no_o not_o for_o a_o hour_n but_o i_o suppose_v by_o illegal_a judgement_n this_o author_n mean_v legal_a judgement_n which_o have_v error_n in_o they_o and_o if_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v valid_a and_o stand_v good_a till_o that_o error_n be_v find_v in_o some_o high_a court_n there_o can_v not_o be_v legal_a nor_o illegal_a nor_o any_o judgement_n at_o all_o but_o all_o humane_a judicature_n must_v come_v to_o a_o end_n for_o if_o judgement_n can_v be_v give_v till_o we_o have_v judge_n who_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o error_n the_o law_n must_v lie_v by_o and_o rust_v and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o administration_n of_o justice_n 3_o dly_z the_o authority_n of_o a_o judgement_n which_o be_v erroneous_a be_v not_o from_o the_o judge_n personal_a authority_n above_o the_o law_n nor_o from_o his_o mistake_n beside_o the_o law_n but_o from_o that_o jurisdiction_n and_o authority_n which_o the_o law_n have_v give_v to_o court_n and_o judicial_a proceed_n which_o if_o they_o be_v in_o due_a course_n o●_n law_n be_v legal_a and_o be_v presume_v to_o be_v every_o way_n right_a and_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v and_o free_a from_o error_n til●_n the_o contrary_n appear_v in_o some_o highe●_n court._n but_o if_o the_o judge_n in_o westminster-hall_n shall_v use_v a_o personal_a authority_n superior_a to_o law_n in_o judge_a man_n to_o death_n without_o a_o jury_n or_o in_o condemn_v a_o man_n when_o his_o jury_n acquit_v he_o or_o the_o like_a the_o law_n have_v give_v no_o authority_n to_o any_o such_o proceed_n these_o judgement_n will_v be_v illegal_a and_o void_a and_o have_v no_o authority_n at_o all_o and_o herein_o i_o say_v no_o more_o than_o this_o author_n himself_o have_v say_v in_o another_o place_n for_o where_o he_o profess_o lay_v down_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o absolute_a monarchy_n and_o the_o english_a constitution_n pag._n 208_o 209._o he_o have_v these_o word_n a_o absolute_a monarch_n be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o no_o law_n but_o his_o own_o will_n and_o be_v not_o tie_v up_o to_o strict_a rule_n and_o formality_n of_o law_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n but_o it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a in_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n where_o no_o man_n can_v lose_v his_o life_n or_o estate_n without_o a_o legal_a process_n and_o trial._n but_o thus_o do_v man_n contradict_v themselves_o who_o write_v by_o rote_n and_o without_o consider_v thing_n and_o thus_o do_v their_o blind_a passive_a obedience_n tie_v we_o up_o to_o impossibility_n and_o oblige_v we_o to_o lose_v our_o life_n and_o estate_n without_o a_o legal_a process_n and_o trial_n where_o even_o as_o this_o author_n confess_v no_o man_n can_v lose_v they_o in_o such_o a_o way_n 2_o dly_z another_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v submit_v to_o illegal_a violence_n be_v this_o because_o though_o they_o have_v no_o legal_a authority_n for_o it_o 192._o yet_o we_o have_v no_o legal_a authority_n to_o defend_v ourselves_o against_o it_o but_o he_o himself_o have_v give_v as_o full_a a_o answer_n to_o this_o as_o can_v be_v desire_v in_o these_o
