battery_n more_o i_o remember_v my_o lord_n russel_n be_v mighty_o please_v with_o the_o courage_n of_o the_o citizen_n at_o that_o time_n and_o particular_o of_o alderman_n cornish_n who_o slight_v these_o preparation_n against_o they_o by_o say_v they_o may_v indeed_o do_v some_o damage_n to_o some_o of_o their_o chimney_n i_o need_v not_o mention_v the_o intend_a citadel_n of_o chelsey-college_n to_o straiten_v the_o city_n on_o that_o side_n nor_o their_o great_a citadel_n of_o westminster-hall_n where_o they_o have_v pervert_v all_o law_n and_o plain_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o it_o by_o dismiss_v a_o grand_a jury_n before_o their_o time_n at_o the_o notorious_a case_n of_o fitz_n harris_n my_o lord_n be_v present_a for_o which_o sergeant_n pemberton_n can_v give_v the_o best_a reason_n because_o he_o reserve_v they_o at_o that_o time_n and_o no_o doubt_n they_o be_v improve_v by_o this_o and_o bring_v up_o a_o fashion_n which_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o the_o year-book_n for_o judge_n to_o give_v no_o reason_n for_o their_o judgement_n as_o to_o the_o case_n of_o the_o city_n charter_n it_o be_v so_o very_o plain_a that_o i_o desire_v sir_n george_n treby_n now_o lord_n chief_a justice_n who_o be_v to_o argue_v for_o it_o to_o use_v only_o this_o short_a argument_n to_o carry_v magna_fw-la charta_fw-la in_o one_o hand_n and_o a_o penknife_n in_o the_o other_o and_o to_o desire_v the_o court_n to_o cut_v out_o the_o chapter_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la where_o the_o right_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o the_o other_o vills_n and_o burgh_n and_o cinque-port_n be_v confirm_v and_o when_o their_o hand_n be_v in_o to_o make_v but_o one_o business_n of_o it_o and_o to_o cut_v out_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o city_n of_o london_n will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v that_o they_o and_o their_o chamber_n which_o be_v the_o best_a fund_z in_o england_n be_v at_o that_o time_n break_v and_o when_o it_o will_v be_v repair_v i_o know_v not_o but_o they_o may_v easy_o know_v who_o to_o sue_v for_o dilapidation_n and_o in_o what_o high_a court_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v and_o the_o ready_a way_n be_v to_o extend_v the_o estate_n of_o all_o those_o that_o treacherous_o destroy_v that_o city_n and_o make_v it_o the_o fine_a village_n in_o europe_n and_o salute_v the_o king_n king_n of_o london_n as_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v complete_a king_n of_o it_o till_o it_o be_v ruin_v i_o need_v not_o mention_v their_o stand_a guard_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n of_o which_o the_o parliament-man_n use_v to_o say_v there_o go_v our_o master_n and_o so_o they_o have_v reason_n after_o sir_n john_n coventry_n usage_n and_o which_o all_o the_o great_a lawyer_n of_o england_n declare_v to_o be_v illegal_a from_o the_o first_o and_o such_o a_o force_n upon_o the_o nation_n as_o the_o law_n abhor_v the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n vaughan_n have_v the_o honesty_n and_o courage_n to_o tell_v my_o late_a lord_n macclesfield_n so_o though_o he_o then_o command_v and_o be_v at_o the_o head_n of_o they_o my_o lord_n very_o honourable_o remember_v this_o as_o a_o instance_n of_o that_o great_a man_n integrity_n and_o who_o that_o ever_o have_v the_o honour_n of_o know_v the_o last_o great_a man_n can_v ever_o forget_v his_o but_o the_o guard_n become_v more_o formidable_a afterward_o when_o a_o undertaker_n offer_v with_o a_o thousand_o of_o their_o horse_n of_o which_o they_o have_v always_o more_o to_o go_v and_o conquer_v the_o city_n of_o london_n in_o a_o contemptuous_a manner_n and_o when_o with_o their_o detachement_n and_o fill_v up_o again_o with_o new_a man_n they_o can_v at_o any_o time_n form_v a_o army_n they_o have_v likewise_o their_o nursery_n of_o tangier_n within_o call_v and_o when_o they_o see_v their_o time_n it_o come_v over_o ever_o since_o the_o last_o sentence_n that_o pass_v upon_o i_o i_o be_o somewhat_o out_o of_o conceit_n with_o the_o name_n of_o guard_n for_o have_v make_v as_o honest_a a_o address_n to_o the_o army_n as_o the_o world_n can_v show_v any_o thing_n and_o be_v run_v down_o for_o it_o as_o a_o high_a misdemeanour_n i_o take_v my_o exception_n to_o the_o information_n among_o other_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v no_o averrment_n of_o any_o army_n in_o it_o and_o i_o say_v there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o england_n whereupon_o both_o the_o attorney_n general_n sawyer_n and_o the_o court_n of_o king's-bench_n say_v that_o the_o camp_n at_o hownslow-heath_n be_v not_o a_o army_n but_o only_o the_o king_n guard_n i_o reply_v that_o i_o think_v they_o be_v too_o far_o off_o for_o guard_n and_o too_o great_a a_o number_n to_o which_o the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n herbert_n answer_v that_o the_o king_n want_v a_o great_a number_n to_o defend_v he_o from_o my_o paper_n at_o which_o i_o can_v only_o smile_v to_o see_v a_o rag_n or_o two_o of_o the_o press_n make_v a_o pretence_n to_o keep_v up_o a_o great_a army_n but_o as_o i_o intimate_v before_o guard_n shall_v be_v a_o army_n and_o a_o army_n shall_v be_v guard_n when_o such_o man_n think_v fit_a aristotle_n in_o his_o politic_n be_v very_o severe_a upon_o guard_n and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o a_o king_n be_v turn_v tyrant_n if_o he_o require_v a_o guard_n and_o say_v further_a that_o if_o a_o king_n demand_v a_o guard_n to_o defend_v he_o against_o his_o people_n his_o people_n ought_v to_o demand_v a_o guard_n to_o defend_v they_o against_o he_o and_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o the_o additional_a guard_n of_o horse_n and_o foot_n in_o the_o two_o last_o reign_n for_o there_o be_v never_o any_o before_o but_o the_o band_n of_o pensioner_n and_o the_o

be_v do_v to_o their_o hand_n but_o to_o awe_v the_o nation_n to_o animate_v judge_n in_o false_a judgement_n and_o to_o back_o officer_n in_o illegal_a proceed_n for_o where_o the_o law_n will_v not_o hold_v out_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o legal_a writ_n it_o be_v as_o well_o supply_v by_o a_o arbitrary_a command_n and_o two_o or_o three_o file_n of_o musketeer_n i_o will_v name_v but_o one_o

it_o come_v in_o the_o westminster_n parliament_n to_o be_v carry_v up_o by_o my_o lord_n russell_n to_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n it_o be_v so_o ill_o receive_v there_o â—hat_n the_o bishop_n be_v for_o throw_v it_o out_o to_o right_n however_o after_o a_o read_n and_o after_o a_o debate_n which_o last_v till_o about_o midnight_n it_o be_v throw_v out_o that_o learned_a nobleman_n the_o great_a earl_n of_o essex_n be_v please_v to_o tell_v i_o what_o argument_n he_o insist_v upon_o in_o that_o debate_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o regality_n of_o england_n be_v a_o office_n concern_v which_o the_o 17_o the_o chapter_n of_o king_n edward_n the_o confessor_n law_n be_v whole_o spend_v and_o it_o be_v so_o declare_v to_o be_v in_o many_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o low_a as_o queen_n mary_n time_n and_o that_o a_o woman_n as_o well_o as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v invest_v with_o the_o regal_a office_n hereupon_o he_o say_v that_o a_o person_n unqualify_v as_o all_o the_o world_n know_v the_o duke_n of_o york_n be_v can_v not_o be_v admit_v to_o that_o office_n upon_o discourse_n about_o this_o i_o remember_v his_o lordship_n be_v please_v to_o take_v down_o lambert_n saxon_n law_n and_o show_v i_o several_a particular_n in_o that_o 17_o the_o chapter_n which_o i_o have_v forget_v his_o second_o argument_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o if_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n have_v unqualify_v himself_o for_o that_o high_a office_n as_o he_o plain_o have_v for_o the_o mean_a office_n in_o england_n than_o the_o parliament_n have_v undoubted_o power_n to_o foreclose_v he_o and_o set_v aside_o his_o remainder_n in_o the_o crown_n because_o they_o have_v power_n to_o do_v more_o this_o he_o say_v be_v the_o know_a law_n of_o england_n and_o agree_v upon_o by_o the_o
