supposition_n if_o the_o king_n in_o extraordinary_a danger_n will_v not_o yield_v to_o such_o a_o posture_n as_o the_o kingdom_n think_v most_o safe_a whether_o the_o parliament_n may_v not_o order_v that_o posture_n of_o themselves_o so_o the_o parliament_n put_v it_o but_o the_o king_n put_v it_o thus_o if_o the_o parliament_n invade_v his_o power_n over_o the_o militia_n causeless_o whether_o they_o may_v not_o as_o well_o seize_v any_o subject_n estate_n that_o question_n than_o which_o must_v decide_v all_o be_v this_o whether_o that_o posture_n which_o the_o parliament_n choose_v or_o that_o of_o the_o king_n be_v most_o safe_a for_o the_o kingdom_n at_o this_o time_n and_o who_o shall_v judge_v thereof_o most_o proper_o till_o now_o that_o the_o ancient_a pillar_n of_o law_n and_o policy_n be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o state_n set_v upon_o a_o new_a basis_n no_o evil_a be_v to_o be_v presume_v of_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o kingdom_n nor_o no_o justice_n expect_v from_o a_o king_n desert_v his_o grand_a council_n but_o now_o every_o man_n may_v arraign_v parliament_n and_o they_o which_o understand_v no_o reason_n must_v have_v reason_n not_o authority_n to_o rely_v upon_o no_o king_n be_v ever_o yet_o so_o just_a but_o that_o parliament_n have_v in_o some_o thing_n reduce_v they_o from_o error_n nor_o no_o king_n so_o unjust_a that_o parliament_n do_v seduce_v into_o error_n yet_o parliament_n be_v now_o charge_v of_o be_v enemy_n to_o religion_n law_n liberty_n and_o the_o king_n to_o preserve_v these_o absent_v himself_o from_o parliament_n but_o since_o we_o must_v dispute_v for_o parliament_n first_o we_o say_v they_o must_v in_o probability_n be_v more_o know_v then_o any_o other_o privado_n second_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o public_a interest_n they_o be_v more_o responsible_a than_o any_o other_o and_o less_o to_o be_v complain_v of_o in_o case_n of_o error_n three_o they_o have_v no_o private_a interest_n to_o deprave_v they_o nothing_o can_v square_v with_o the_o common_a council_n but_o the_o common_a good_a and_o if_o 500_o of_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n shall_v aim_v at_o a_o aristocratical_a usurpation_n or_o any_o other_o power_n of_o oppression_n they_o can_v never_o compass_v their_o end_n it_o be_v folly_n in_o they_o some_o such_o objection_n have_v be_v make_v against_o this_o parliament_n but_o find_v little_a credit_n at_o last_o some_o few_o of_o the_o parliament_n be_v pitch_v upon_o as_o if_o it_o be_v credible_a that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n in_o who_o hand_n all_o real_a natural_a power_n consist_v will_v enslave_v themselves_o to_o 500_o or_o those_o 500_o voluntary_o become_v slave_n to_o five_o man_n good_a god_n the_o king_n be_v presume_v to_o have_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o majority_n and_o to_o be_v trample_v upon_o by_o some_o few_o and_o yet_o the_o magical_a incantation_n be_v so_o strong_a that_o neither_o the_o king_n authority_n nor_o the_o justice_n of_o his_o cause_n nor_o the_o oppress_a commonalty_n can_v prevail_v against_o the_o parliament_n or_o the_o parliament_n itself_o against_o such_o a_o inconsiderable_a number_n in_o parliament_n o_o that_o some_o mercury_n will_v reconcile_v my_o understanding_n in_o this_o court_n logic_n or_o give_v i_o some_o clew_n of_o thread_n to_o disengage_v i_o out_o of_o this_o blind_a labarinth_n but_o to_o come_v more_o particular_o to_o the_o militia_n itself_o now_o settle_v by_o the_o parliament_n the_o king_n except_v against_o the_o parliament_n ordinance_n for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o it_o exclude_v he_o for_o the_o dispose_n of_o it_o and_o second_o from_o determine_v it_o at_o his_o pleasure_n but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o kingdom_n trust_v the_o king_n with_o arm_n as_o it_o do_v with_o the_o law_n and_o no_o otherwise_o and_o since_o the_o king_n in_o person_n be_v not_o most_o fit_a always_o nor_o can_v in_o all_o place_n be_v present_a to_o execute_v either_o military_a or_o judicial_a office_n therefore_o the_o main_a execution_n in_o both_o be_v entrust_v to_o substitute_n the_o end_n of_o all_o authority_n in_o substitute_n be_v that_o the_o kingdom_n may_v be_v due_o and_o safe_o serve_v not_o that_o the_o king_n mere_a fancy_n may_v be_v satisfy_v and_o that_o end_n be_v more_o likely_a to_o be_v accomplish_v where_o the_o kingdom_n than_o where_o the_o king_n choose_v but_o whosoever_o choose_v the_o substitute_n the_o king_n be_v not_o exclude_v thereby_o for_o the_o king_n have_v more_o cause_n to_o confide_v in_o man_n recommend_v by_o his_o high_a court_n than_o the_o people_n have_v in_o man_n prefer_v mere_o by_o the_o king_n against_o the_o consent_n of_o his_o high_a court_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o vet_z the_o confidence_n and_o assurance_n of_o the_o people_n in_o time_n of_o distraction_n be_v more_o requisite_a than_o the_o king_n but_o in_o this_o new_a militia_n the_o king_n be_v not_o so_o much_o exclude_v from_o his_o general_a superintendance_n and_o supreme_a influence_n as_o he_o be_v in_o subordinate_a court_n of_o justice_n and_o yet_o even_o in_o the_o king_n bench_n where_o the_o king_n in_o plea_n of_o the_o crown_n may_v not_o sit_v as_o judge_v he_o may_v not_o be_v say_v to_o be_v exclude_v neither_o be_v it_o any_o prejudice_n to_o the_o king_n in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o he_o can_v determine_v these_o new_a commission_n at_o his_o pleasure_n without_o public_a consent_n except_o upon_o misdemeanour_n for_o though_o all_o man_n natural_o desire_v absolute_a command_n and_o to_o be_v uncontrollable_a in_o thing_n that_o be_v bad_a as_o well_o as_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a yet_o this_o be_v but_o the_o exorbitant_a desire_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o wise_a man_n do_v not_o seek_v always_o to_o satisfy_v it_o but_o rather_o to_o suppress_v it_o in_o case_n of_o misdemeanour_n no_o man_n commission_n shall_v justify_v he_o against_o the_o king_n and_o where_o no_o misdemeanour_n be_v what_o will_v the_o mere_a power_n of_o determine_v the_o commission_n avail_v the_o king_n for_o we_o see_v in_o divers_a monarchy_n and_o free_a state_n some_o prince_n which_o be_v limit_v from_o evil_a be_v not_o the_o more_o disable_v from_o good_a and_o if_o they_o be_v sometime_o that_o nation_n be_v perhaps_o happy_a which_o entrust_v prince_n too_o little_a then_o that_o which_o entrust_v they_o two_o far_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o i_o desire_v to_o see_v no_o innovation_n in_o our_o english_a monarchy_n neither_o if_o this_o king_n shall_v upon_o this_o or_o that_o emergent_a occasion_n yield_v to_o some_o temporal_a restraint_n will_v i_o wish_v to_o see_v it_o perpetual_a except_o in_o thing_n only_o tend_v to_o evil_a for_o example_n the_o king_n have_v a_o prerogative_n to_o discontinue_v and_o dissolve_v parliament_n at_o pleasure_n and_o the_o abuse_n of_o this_o prerogative_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o our_o late_a suffering_n but_o this_o prerogative_n be_v restrain_v what_o injury_n be_v likely_a to_o follow_v either_o to_o the_o king_n or_o state_n for_o in_o such_o restriction_n which_o be_v from_o great_a evil_n but_o from_o less_o good_a the_o king_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v difficult_a and_o in_o such_o restriction_n which_o may_v disable_v from_o good_a as_o well_o as_o evil_a the_o people_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v importunate_a but_o it_o be_v further_a object_v that_o by_o the_o same_o power_n parliament_n may_v disseise_v both_o the_o king_n and_o subject_n from_o their_o estate_n as_o they_o make_v ordinance_n for_o the_o militia_n but_o in_o truth_n be_v not_o this_o a_o strange_a result_n the_o parliament_n have_v power_n to_o do_v good_a office_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v have_v power_n to_o do_v ill_a office_n against_o the_o consent_n both_o of_o king_n and_o people_n it_o be_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o suppose_v that_o parliament_n will_v do_v any_o injustice_n it_o lose_v one_o of_o the_o firm_a ●inewes_n of_o law_n to_o admit_v it_o but_o to_o conclude_v that_o parliament_n can_v do_v such_o injustice_n as_o may_v oppress_v both_o king_n and_o people_n from_o who_o all_o their_o power_n be_v derive_v be_v unnatural_a and_o whereas_o the_o king_n claim_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o militia_n as_o legal_a and_o proper_a as_o we_o be_v in_o our_o land_n or_o tenement_n we_o must_v avoid_v mistake_n herein_o for_o in_o our_o good_n and_o inheritance_n we_o have_v not_o so_o pure_a and_o additional_a a_o right_n but_o that_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o common_a right_n also_o and_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o king_n possession_n be_v not_o
