not_o dispute_v since_o the_o more_o ancient_a they_o be_v the_o more_o they_o make_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o monarchy_n yet_o there_o be_v certain_a circumstance_n touch_v the_o form_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v consider_v first_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o until_o about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o conquest_n there_o can_v be_v no_o parliament_n assemble_v of_o the_o general_a state_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n of_o england_n because_o till_o those_o day_n we_o can_v learn_v it_o be_v entire_o unite_v into_o one_o kingdom_n but_o it_o be_v either_o divide_v into_o several_a kingdom_n or_o govern_v by_o several_a law_n when_o julius_n caesar_n land_v he_o find_v 4_o king_n in_o kent_n and_o the_o british_a name_n of_o dammonii_fw-la durotriges_n belgae_n attrebatii_n trinobantes_n iceni_n silures_n and_o the_o rest_n be_v plentiful_a testimony_n of_o the_o several_a kingdom_n of_o britain_n when_o the_o roman_n leave_v we_o the_o saxon_n divide_v we_o into_o 7_o kingdom_n when_o these_o saxon_n be_v unite_v all_o into_o a_o monarchy_n they_o have_v always_o the_o dane_n their_o companion_n or_o their_o master_n in_o the_o empire_n till_o edward_n the_o confessor_n day_n since_o who_o time_n the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n have_v continue_v unite_v as_o now_o it_o do_v but_o for_o a_o thousand_o year_n before_o we_o can_v find_v it_o be_v entire_o settle_v during_o the_o time_n of_o any_o one_o king_n reign_n as_o under_o the_o mercian_n law_n the_o west_n saxon_n be_v confine_v to_o the_o saxon_a law_n essex_n norfolk_n suffolk_z and_o some_o other_o place_n be_v vex_v with_o danish_a law_n the_o northumbrian_n also_o have_v their_o law_n apart_o and_o until_o edward_n the_o confessor_n reign_n who_o be_v next_o but_o one_o before_o the_o conqueror_n the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v so_o several_a and_o uncertain_a that_o he_o be_v force_v to_o cull_v a_o few_o of_o the_o most_o indifferent_a and_o

alfred_n also_o gather_v out_o of_o mulmutius_n law_n such_o as_o he_o translate_v into_o the_o saxon_a tongue_n thus_o during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o saxon_n the_o law_n be_v so_o variable_a that_o there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o likelihood_n to_o find_v any_o constant_a form_n of_o parliament_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n 13_o a_o second_o point_v considerable_a be_v whether_o in_o such_o parliament_n as_o be_v in_o the_o saxon_n time_n the_o nobility_n and_o clergy_n only_o be_v of_o those_o assembly_n or_o whether_o the_o commons_o be_v also_o call_v some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o though_o none_o of_o the_o saxon_a law_n do_v mention_v the_o commons_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v by_o the_o word_n wiseman_n the_o commons_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v of_o those_o assembly_n and_o they_o bring_v as_o they_o conceive_v probable_a argument_n to_o prove_v it_o from_o the_o antiquity_n of_o some_o burrough_n that_o do_v yet_o send_v burgess_n and_o from_o the_o proscription_n of_o those_o in_o ancient_n demesne_n not_o to_o send_v burgess_n to_o parliament_n if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o westsaxon_n have_v a_o custom_n to_o assemble_v burgess_n out_o of_o some_o of_o their_o town_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v doubt_v whether_o other_o kingdom_n have_v the_o same_o usage_n but_o sure_o it_o be_v that_o during_o the_o heptarchy_n the_o people_n can_v not_o elect_a any_o
