god_n be_v a_o king_n in_o heaven_n alas_o mr._n jenkins_n speak_v too_o mean_o and_o low_o of_o the_o king_n prerogative_n both_o in_o those_o incommunicable_a excellency_n of_o infinitness_n and_o

the_o king_n above_o the_o law_n i_o think_v thus_o that_o seldom_o do_v any_o man_n refuse_v to_o be_v a_o bishop_n or_o a_o judge_n and_o when_o i_o read_v those_o case_n that_o it_o have_v be_v often_o adjudge_v that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v wrong_a i_o conceive_v the_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o king_n shall_v do_v no_o wrong_n a_o letter_n will_v much_o alter_v the_o case_n for_o i_o find_v that_o when_o small_a offence_n and_o trespass_n be_v not_o punish_v a_o reason_n render_v that_o the_o law_n regard_v not_o small_a thing_n the_o book_n to_o warrant_v it_o carry_v the_o sense_n that_o the_o law_n reckon_v not_o the_o minute_n and_o the_o odd_a hour_n which_o make_v the_o leap_n year_n and_o i_o find_v mr._n j●nkins_n though_o certain_o a_o man_n deep_o learn_v in_o

authority_n by_o the_o half_n for_o where_o he_o say_v that_o bracton_n say_v the_o king_n have_v no_o superior_a or_o equal_a but_o god_n he_o omit_v what_o the_o book_n add_v unless_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o commons_o in_o parliament_n and_o so_o a_o man_n may_v as_o well_o argue_v that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n say_v hang_v all_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n because_o he_o say_v upon_o these_o two_o commandment_n hang_v all_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n when_o i_o read_v that_o the_o king_n may_v pardon_v murder_n special_o if_o the_o word_n murder_n be_v not_o in_o the_o pardon_n i_o find_v it_o contrary_n to_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o take_v it_o to_o be_v no_o law_n and_o when_o i_o read_v that_o the_o king_n by_o his_o prerogative_n may_v make_v a_o 20._o s._n piece_n by_o proclamation_n to_o go_v currant_n for_o 40._o s._n or_o to_o be_v worth_a but_o 6._o d._n i_o conceive_v this_o to_o be_v against_o reason_n and_o so_o against_o law_n worse_o than_o that_o abominable_a project_n of_o brass_n money_n as_o the_o honourable_a commons_o be_v please_v to_o call_v it_o for_o if_o i_o have_v 20._o s._n in_o my_o pocket_n and_o the_o king_n may_v proclaim_v this_o to_o be_v worth_a but_o 6._o d._n then_o may_v he_o take_v 19_o s._n and_o 6._o d._n from_o i_o and_o then_o where_o be_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n therefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o king_n prerogative_n in_o money_n be_v for_o the_o well_o balance_v of_o trade_n and_o equality_n of_o exchange_n between_o we_o and_o other_o nation_n in_o case_n that_o other_o foreign_a kingdom_n or_o state_n shall_v inhanse_v or_o debase_v their_o money_n the_o king_n may_v do_v the_o like_a for_o the_o good_a of_o this_o kingdom_n that_o our_o money_n be_v not_o exhaust_v and_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v much_o dear_a here_o than_o there_o but_o the_o pure_a fallacy_n that_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o be_v that_o how_o can_v the_o parliament_n grant_v a_o pardon_n to_o other_o when_o themselves_o send_v to_o the_o king_n to_o newcastle_n for_o a_o pardon_n as_o if_o a_o general_n pardon_v which_o be_v usual_o grant_v at_o the_o end_n of_o every_o parliament_n shall_v prove_v the_o parliament_n man_n guilty_a of_o all_o the_o offence_n thereby_o pardon_v a_o general_a pardon_n which_o be_v in_o effect_n as_o a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n suppose_v no_o particular_a man_n guilty_a but_o tollit_fw-la reatum_fw-la quoad_fw-la mundum_fw-la but_o a_o special_a pardon_n presupposes_a the_o offence_n and_o must_v be_v plead_v and_o so_o reason_n speak_v it_o out_o that_o the_o king_n have_v no_o prerogative_n whereby_o to_o hurt_v the_o people_n but_o whole_o for_o their_o good_a save_v only_o in_o matter_n of_o honour_n and_o pleasure_n and_o in_o a_o favourable_a construction_n of_o his_o grant_n to_o be_v construe_v according_a to_o his_o intention_n and_o not_o deception_n which_o privilege_n every_o subject_a in_o reason_n ought_v to_o enjoy_v and_o i_o wish_v hearty_o that_o his_o majesty_n may_v enjoy_v all_o his_o ancient_a and_o undoubted_a royalty_n and_o prerogative_n that_o be_v according_a to_o scripture_n and_o right_a reason_n beside_o which_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o can_v judge_n between_o a_o prince_n and_o his_o people_n but_o the_o sword_n and_o let_v his_o majesty_n honour_n be_v superior_a by_o many_o story_n than_o it_o be_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o all_o thing_n not_o injurious_a to_o the_o subject_a which_o his_o majesty_n say_v be_v all_o that_o he_o desire_v and_o god_n forbid_v he_o shall_v have_v any_o less_o but_o let_v he_o not_o have_v power_n to_o hurt_v his_o subject_n for_o he_o that_o by_o law_n may_v do_v so_o though_o he_o be_v the_o best_a man_n live_v yet_o he_o be_v a_o potential_a tyrant_n and_o his_o subject_n may_v fear_v he_o but_o they_o can_v never_o love_v he_o and_o the_o conceit_n of_o such_o a_o power_n be_v enough_o to_o spoil_v the_o best_a prince_n live_v i_o know_v some_o hispanialized_a courtier_n and_o common_a lawyer_n that_o have_v rest_v in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n not_o look_v into_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o it_o have_v make_v his_o majesty_n believe_v that_o the_o parliament_n have_v do_v he_o wrong_n and_o take_v away_o his_o fort_n and_o castle_n from_o he_o what_o
