A25380	A gentle reflection on the modest account, and a vindication of the loyal abhorrers from the calumnies of a factious pen by the author of the Parallel.	Northleigh, John, 1657-1705.; Andrews, John, fl. 1734-1735.	1682 (1682)	Wing A3121; ESTC R9495	25,676	20

and_o now_o for_o your_o two_o civil_a interrogatory_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o propose_v a_o couple_n of_o honest_a query_n 1._o whether_o the_o late_a king_n be_v frequent_a parliament_n do_v not_o bring_v the_o nation_n into_o that_o miserable_a confusion_n 2._o whether_o his_o not_o be_v able_a to_o dissolve_v they_o do_v not_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o block_n i_o fancy_n your_o lordship_n have_v the_o same_o notion_n of_o parliament_n that_o a_o late_a wild_a extravagant_a author_n have_v publish_v in_o his_o tory-plot_n that_o they_o have_v a_o absolute_a dominion_n over_o the_o life_n liberty_n and_o estate_n of_o all_o the_o subject_n vid._n page_n 16._o but_o with_o what_o face_n then_o can_v such_o wretch_n talk_v of_o his_o majesty_n assume_v a_o arbitrary_a power_n when_o all_o the_o while_o they_o endeavour_v to_o make_v their_o petty_a king_n in_o representative_a more_o absolute_a than_o the_o turk_n himself_o and_o can_v the_o miserable_a change_n that_o they_o make_v at_o athens_n terrify_v these_o preposterous_a assertor_n of_o liberty_n and_o satisfy_v they_o of_o the_o felicity_n of_o the_o subject_a even_o under_o a_o tyrannize_a prince_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o misery_n they_o suffer_v under_o a_o commonwealth_n of_o tyrant_n this_o i_o confess_v be_v a_o power_n of_o parliament_n that_o will_v give_v they_o a_o unquestionable_a right_n for_o the_o alter_a succession_n when_o it_o empower_v they_o to_o deprive_v the_o right_a heir_n of_o his_o life_n too_o as_o well_o as_o of_o his_o dominion_n but_o i_o will_v have_v such_o a_o extravagant_a fellow_n tell_v i_o what_o sort_n of_o government_n he_o stand_v up_o for_o and_o what_o notion_n the_o silly_a wretch_n have_v of_o justice_n and_o equity_n do_v not_o this_o giddy_a libertine_n at_o the_o same_o time_n draw_v up_o a_o scheam_n for_o tyranny_n and_o oppression_n when_o he_o will_v be_v think_v to_o stand_v up_o for_o the_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o like_o a_o crack'd-brained_a politician_n run_v counter_a to_o his_o own_o maxim_n this_o gentleman_n first_o preach_v up_o his_o absolute_a dominion_n in_o king_n lord_n and_o

brother_n of_o the_o low_a house_n and_o then_o no_o wonder_n if_o club_n turn_v up_o trump_n again_o when_o they_o be_v let_v alone_o to_o shuffle_v the_o card_n we_o will_v grant_v this_o politic_a ass_n his_o parliament_n so_o far_o omnipotent_a as_o able_a to_o make_v any_o statute_n but_o then_o they_o must_v be_v consonant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o reason_n our_o saviour_n among_o all_o his_o precept_n never_o contradict_v those_o and_o sure_a his_o commission_n be_v a_o little_o large_a than_o that_o of_o the_o parliament'_v they_o adore_v must_v their_o law_n determine_v what_o be_v just_a and_o equitable_a or_o rather_o ought_v not_o justice_n and_o equity_n be_v the_o standard_n of_o their_o law_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n sure_a between_o legality_n and_o justice_n the_o power_n of_o make_v law_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o they_o but_o it_o be_v always_o observable_a that_o every_o politic_a body_n when_o it_o endeavour_n to_o

pass_v another_o to_o make_v his_o case_n no_o precedent_n but_o will_v a_o turk_n or_o mahometan_n take_v this_o for_o justice_n and_o with_o the_o same_o false_a notion_n our_o present_a statesman_n justify_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n only_o because_o when_o their_o parliament_n have_v enact_v it_o it_o will_v be_v real_o law_n but_o will_v a_o heathen_a take_v this_o for_o a_o piece_n of_o equity_n and_o these_o same_o bigot_n for_o a_o parliamentary_a power_n upon_o these_o principle_n be_v force_v to_o grant_v they_o a_o right_n of_o punish_v offender_n by_o

it_o no_o transgression_n where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n it_o be_v a_o pretty_a sort_n of_o state-paradox_n my_o lord_n to_o say_v a_o parliament_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n the_o only_a argument_n they_o use_v for_o such_o a_o strange_a position_n be_v that_o there_o be_v somewhat_o of_o improbability_n so_o great_a and_o wise_a a_o body_n shall_v enact_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o reason_n
