In Hen. 7. his time the Stile altered and hath sithence continued thus It is ordained by the Kings Majestie and the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons in this present Parliament assembled So that alwayes the Assent of the King giveth the life to all 7 H. 7. 14. 12 of H. 7. 20 as the soul to the body and therefore our Law Books call the King the Fountain of Justice and the life of the Law 9. Mercy as well as Justice belongs by the Law of the Land onely to the King 2 H. 4. ca. 22. 4 pars instit 42. This is confessed by Mr. Prin● and it is so without any question The King can onely pardon and never more ●ause to have sufficient pardons then in such troublesome times as these Mr. Prinn in his Treatise of the great Seal fol. 17. 27 H. 8. c. 24. and God send us pardons and peace None can give any pardon but the King by the Law of the Land The whole and sole power of pardoning Treasons and Felonies belongs to the King are the words of the Law and it is a delusion to take it from any other and utterly invalid 27 H. 8. ca. 24. 10. Queen Elizabeth summoned her first Parliament to be held the 23. of Janna in the first yeer of her Majesties Reign The Lords and Commons assembled by force of the same Writ the 23. day the Queen fell sick and could not appear in her person in Parliament that day and therefore prorogued it untill the 25. of the same moneth of Januarie 3 Eliz. Dier 203. Resolved by all the Judges of England that the Parliament began not the day of the return of the Writ viz the 23. of January when the Lords and Commons appeared but the 25. of the said moneth when the King came in person which sheweth evidently that this vertuall presence is a meer deluding fiction that hath no ground in Law reason or sense They have the King now a Prisoner at Holdenby with guards upon him and yet they govern by the vertuall Power of their Prisoner These are some few of the causes and reasons which moved me to deliver that paper to Mr. Corbet which I am readie to ●●stifie with my life and should hold it a great honour to 〈…〉 the honourable an● holy Laws of the Land That 〈…〉 save this Land fro●●●●truction is an Act of Oblivion 〈…〉 Majesties gracious ●●●●all pardon the Soul●iers their 〈◊〉 and every man his 〈◊〉 and Truth and Peace established in 〈◊〉 ●●nd and a favourable regard had to the satisfaction of 〈◊〉 Consciences April 29. 1647. David Jenkins An ANSWER to the Poysonous Seditious Paper of Mr. David Jenkins MR. David Jenkins in his Paper of the 29. of April last lay●● most odious charges upon the Parliament and consequently upon all that have adhered to the Parliament in this Warre and les● these his desperate infusions should not work powerfully enough upon the vulgar he being an ancient practiser in the Law and promoted to the title of a Judge he cites Book cases aga●nst the two Houses and seems forward to lay down his life in the cause His 1. Argument runs thus The Parliament not having the Kings Writ Patent or Commission cannot do so much as examine any man But the Parliament has not the Kings Writ c. Ergo his minor is confirmed thus If the Kings power remain solely in himself and be not vertually present in the two Houses then they cannot pretend his Writ Pattent or Commission But the Kings power is in himself and not vertually in the two H●uses ergo that the Parliament has no vertuall power he proves thu● 1. If the Parliament had in them the Kings vertuall Power they needed not desire the Kings ratification they needed not send any Propositions to him but now they send Propositions ergo this vertuall power is but a meer fiction ● To affi●m that the Kings power is separable from his person is by the Law adjudged high Treason but in the Parliament 〈◊〉 the Kings Power is vertually in them then they separate it 〈◊〉 his person Ergo. 3. If none can pardon Felony or Treason except the King ●one has the virtua●l power of the King but none can pardon except the King Ergo 4.
