in_o authority_n may_v command_v what_o authority_n do_v not_o command_v but_o may_v we_o go_v against_o the_o command_n of_o the_o king_n ob._n it_o be_v not_o against_o his_o authorative_n command_v many_o ans_fw-fr if_o not_o most_v man_n mistake_v in_o this_o they_o think_v the_o authorative_n command_v of_o the_o king_n chief_o consist_v in_o his_o personal_a verbal_a command_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v his_o authority_n be_v in_o his_o command_n by_o his_o officer_n seal_n and_o court_n of_o justice_n we_o may_v appeal_v from_o his_o personal_a verbal_a command_n to_o his_o command_n in_o his_o court_n of_o justice_n &_o whatsoever_o be_v his_o command_n in_o one_o court_n of_o justice_n may_v be_v appeal_v from_o to_o a_o superior_a court_n and_o so_o to_o the_o high_a and_o there_o we_o must_v rest_v but_o the_o king_n say_v that_o this_o which_o be_v do_v be_v ob._n do_v against_o law_n if_o when_o the_o most_o inferior_a court_n of_o justice_n determine_v ans_fw-fr any_o thing_n to_o be_v law_n it_o be_v not_o the_o king_n personal_a dissent_n and_o say_v it_o be_v not_o law_n that_o disannul_v it_o but_o the_o judgement_n of_o some_o superior_a court_n then_o if_o the_o high_a court_n in_o the_o land_n which_o be_v the_o parliament_n shall_v judge_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v law_n sure_o the_o personal_a dissent_n of_o the_o king_n and_o say_v it_o be_v not_o law_n can_v disannul_v it_o but_o although_o the_o parliament_n tell_v we_o that_o what_o ob._n they_o do_v be_v law_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o show_v where_o that_o law_n be_v where_o shall_v we_o find_v it_o extant_a we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o our_o commonwealth_n be_v govern_v answ_n not_o only_o by_o statute_n law_n but_o by_o the_o common_a law_n now_o this_o common_a law_n be_v nothing_o

although_o some_o precedent_n some_o general_a maxim_n of_o this_o law_n be_v extant_a yet_o if_o new_a case_n arise_v than_o there_o must_v be_v determination_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o such_o a_o new_a case_n which_o determination_n by_o such_o as_o be_v appoint_v judge_n be_v now_o law_n although_o it_o be_v no_o where_o write_v before_o and_o certain_o we_o have_v now_o such_o thing_n fall_v out_o as_o no_o former_a time_n can_v show_v precedent_n of_o as_o that_o a_o king_n shall_v go_v from_o his_o parliament_n so_o as_o we_o do_v that_o a_o king_n shall_v take_v up_o

precedent_n of_o what_o determination_n there_o can_v be_v in_o these_o case_n and_o some_o determination_n of_o necessity_n we_o must_v have_v or_o else_o we_o shall_v run_v to_o confusion_n the_o determination_n then_o of_o the_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n in_o the_o kingdom_n we_o must_v account_v law_n in_o this_o case_n this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o determine_v case_n that_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o common_a law_n first_o the_o determination_n must_v not_o be_v against_o any_o statute_n law_n and_o so_o be_v the_o determination_n of_o parliament_n now_o there_o be_v no_o statute_n law_n against_o it_o second_o it_o must_v be_v according_a to_o some_o general_a maxim_n of_o that_o law_n now_o this_o be_v one_o great_a maxim_n of_o it_o salus_fw-la populi_fw-la suprema_fw-la

against_o any_o party_n that_o think_v himself_o wrong_v he_o make_v his_o appeal_v to_o the_o king_n bench_n if_o at_o the_o king_n bench_n that_o be_v judge_v law_n against_o a_o man_n which_o he_o think_v be_v not_o right_a than_o he_o have_v a_o writ_n of_o appeal_v ad_fw-la proximum_fw-la parliamentum_fw-la to_o the_o next_o parliament_n so_o that_o it_o be_v apparent_a by_o the_o frame_n of_o government_n in_o our_o kingdom_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v supreme_a judge_n of_o what_o be_v recta_fw-la ratio_fw-la right_a reason_n in_o case_n of_o difficulty_n and_o controversy_n and_o this_o not_o be_v against_o any_o former_a statute_n law_n &_o agreeable_a to_o the_o receive_a maxim_n of_o common_a law_n it_o be_v to_o be_v account_v law_n although_o we_o find_v not_o that_o case_n or_o that_o determination_n write_v in_o any_o book_n before_o this_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o satisfy_a man_n conscience_n that_o thing_n be_v carry_v according_a to_o the_o

what_o shall_v they_o do_v now_o therefore_o because_o that_o which_o be_v urge_v upon_o man_n conscience_n be_v the_o authority_n of_o man_n that_o we_o must_v obey_v we_o can_v never_o satisfy_v

understand_v what_o kind_n of_o government_n they_o live_v under_o that_o they_o may_v know_v when_o they_o offend_v against_o authority_n and_o when_o not_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v delude_v and_o bring_v into_o snare_n and_o thing_n of_o dangerous_a consequence_n mere_o by_o the_o name_n of_o authority_n but_o yet_o it_o may_v further_o be_v say_v grant_v the_o parliament_n to_o be_v
