i_o do_v not_o there_o apparent_o set_v it_o down_o as_o a_o description_n of_o our_o now_o existent_a frame_n of_o government_n and_o whether_o any_o thing_n therein_o be_v not_o according_a to_o past_a history_n and_o present_a experience_n yea_o i_o challenge_v the_o doctor_n to_o except_v against_o the_o least_o part_n of_o it_o as_o not_o so_o if_o he_o can_v he_o do_v wrong_a so_o to_o miscall_v and_o deride_v it_o after_o this_o excursion_n he_o return_v back_o to_o the_o 36._o page_n of_o my_o book_n and_o the_o proper_a business_n of_o that_o chapt._n which_o be_v his_o three_o title_n by_o conquest_n i_o look_v that_o after_o his_o first_o he_o shall_v have_v make_v good_a his_o second_o conquest_n sc_n the_o danish_a and_o make_v good_a what_o he_o have_v say_v that_o our_o king_n hold_v by_o that_o too_o as_o one_o of_o the_o three_o but_o not_o a_o word_n of_o that_o for_o shame_n he_o pass_v p._n 26._o to_o the_o norman_a entrance_n and_o to_o prove_v that_o william_n hold_v this_o land_n by_o conquest_n he_o cite_v out_o of_o mr_n cambden_n that_o in_o victory_n quasi_fw-la tropheum_fw-la he_o dispose_v of_o the_o land_n of_o the_o conquer_a change_v their_o tenure_n abrogate_a what_o english_a law_n and_o custom_n he_o please_v etc._n etc._n indeed_o when_o he_o have_v get_v full_a possession_n he_o do_v what_o he_o please_v but_o sactum_fw-la non_fw-la probat_fw-la jus_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o the_o doctor_n have_v not_o gainsay_v 1._o that_o his_o title_n by_o which_o he_o claim_v be_v a_o successive_a and_o legal_a title_n 2._o that_o this_o title_n get_v the_o favour_n of_o a_o great_a party_n and_o be_v a_o main_a mean_o facilitate_v his_o acquirie_n 3._o that_o he_o be_v inaugurate_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o title_n 4._o after_o he_o have_v get_v the_o kingdom_n though_o he_o do_v many_o thing_n arbitrary_o yet_o he_o settle_v himself_o and_o his_o successor_n in_o the_o state_n of_o legal_a monarch_n as_o the_o

that_o of_o mr_n cambden_n that_o the_o king_n of_o this_o land_n have_v potestatem_fw-la supremam_fw-la &_o merum_fw-la imperium_fw-la be_v no_o more_o than_o that_o of_o the_o statute_n which_o the_o doctor_n speak_v of_o p._n 47._o that_o it_o be_v a_o empire_n govern_v by_o one_o supreme_a head_n which_o we_o acknowledge_v for_o that_o merum_fw-la imperium_fw-la must_v be_v understand_v in_o a_o moderate_a sense_n else_o it_o say_v more_o than_o the_o doctor_n himself_o profess_v to_o own_o though_o mr_n cambdens_fw-fr judgement_n in_o this_o case_n be_v not_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o proof_n sect._n 2_o then_o he_o pass_v to_o my_o argument_n p._n 28._o but_o by_o the_o way_n let_v i_o tell_v he_o vindicate_v my_o argument_n for_o limitation_n and_o mixture_n vindicate_v i_o bring_v 5._o argument_n to_o prove_v this_o government_n limit_v and_o 3._o to_o prove_v it_o mix_v and_o it_o have_v be_v meet_v he_o shall_v have_v bring_v somewhat_o beside_o his_o bare_a word_n to_o prove_v it_o limit_v only_o in_o the_o exercise_n that_o be_v absolute_a in_o the_o power_n but_o he_o bring_v no_o proof_n because_o he_o have_v none_o yet_o perhaps_o though_o he_o have_v not_o wherewithal_o to_o confirm_v his_o own_o yet_o he_o have_v to_o demolish_v my_o assertion_n let_v we_o see_v therefore_o his_o solution_n of_o my_o argument_n but_o before_o we_o come_v to_o weigh_v they_o because_o he_o tell_v we_o p._n 28._o it_o be_v a_o argument_n fit_a for_o a_o skilful_a lawyer_n to_o labour_n in_o and_o slight_v my_o endeavour_n because_o i_o bring_v not_o history_n and_o antiquity_n but_o do_v go_v about_o to_o reason_v he_o into_o a_o belief_n of_o those_o assertion_n let_v i_o premise_v something_o concern_v that_o course_n of_o prove_v they_o 1._o the_o work_n of_o bring_v history_n and_o antiquity_n do_v belong_v to_o he_o who_o affirm_v such_o a_o title_n of_o power_n in_o our_o king_n let_v he_o show_v how_o and_o when_o it_o be_v convey_v to_o they_o he_o which_o challenge_v a_o right_a to_o that_o which_o be_v once_o undoubted_o i_o must_v prove_v his_o right_n and_o he_o can_v have_v no_o more_o than_o he_o can_v bring_v evidence_n for_o 2._o on_o his_o defaut_n if_o i_o undertake_v a_o needless_a office_n to_o prove_v my_o negative_a there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n imaginable_a to_o do_v it_o one_o be_v by_o record_n of_o history_n set_v out_o the_o first_o constitution_n of_o a_o state_n and_o the_o term_n on_o which_o 〈◊〉_d people_n resign_v up_o their_o liberty_n to_o a_o subjection_n so_o in_o the_o ancient_a roman_a state_n the_o venetian_a the_o late_a belgik_fw-mi union_n and_o other_o which_o have_v at_o once_o visible_o and_o late_o be_v compose_v it_o be_v likely_a that_o way_n may_v be_v take_v the_o other_o be_v by_o demonstrative_a collection_n draw_v from_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o present_a composure_n of_o a_o state_n thus_o alone_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o discern_v and_o prove_v the_o constitution_n of_o a_o government_n which_o spring_v not_o up_o at_o once_o but_o by_o unseen_a degree_n and_o moment_n who_o fundamental_a constitutive_a act_n stand_v upon_o no_o record_n this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o most_o government_n in_o the_o world_n which_o have_v spring_v from_o small_a rude_a and_o unknown_a beginning_n and_o of_o this_o in_o particular_a for_o 1._o a_o limitation_n of_o royal_a power_n be_v bring_v hither_o by_o the_o saxon_n and_o angli_fw-la our_o ancestor_n have_v be_v prove_v this_o be_v as_o those_o time_n be_v very_o rude_a and_o unpolished_a it_o be_v likely_a such_o as_o captain_n in_o army_n have_v who_o can_v do_v nothing_o of_o moment_n without_o the_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o war_n 2._o this_o limitation_n of_o power_n and_o liberty_n receive_v some_o more_o formal_a and_o settle_a bound_n afterward_o by_o custom_n and_o law_n before_o the_o conquest_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o common_a law_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o basis_n and_o foundation_n of_o this_o government_n the_o statute_n law_n be_v but_o after_o superstructive_n these_o common_a law_n do_v not_o grow_v up_o at_o once_o but_o by_o degree_n and_o be_v unwritten_a custom_n and_o usage_n gain_v authority_n by_o unknown_a prescription_n above_o all_o write_a law_n and_o be_v afterward_o commit_v to_o write_v by_o

for_o when_o a_o thing_n of_o present_a state_n be_v make_v evident_a by_o reason_n draw_v for_o palpable_a experience_n of_o its_o present_a composure_n it_o be_v madness_n to_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v so_o because_o i_o can_v tell_v when_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v so_o yea_o when_o the_o question_n be_v of_o present_a state_n it_o be_v a_o sure_a way_n to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n then_o by_o record_n of_o its_o original_a constitution_n for_o in_o time_n the_o frame_n of_o a_o state_n may_v receive_v real_a variation_n from_o what_o it_o be_v at_o first_o as_o the_o roman_a state_n and_o most_o other_o have_v do_v for_o the_o contract_n of_o man_n be_v at_o pleasure_n alterable_a and_o a_o argument_n draw_v from_o monument_n of_o first_o coalition_n will_v then_o be_v fallacious_a well_o be_v the_o way_n never_o so_o justifiable_a which_o i_o have_v take_v yet_o the_o doctor_n dare_v pronounce_v my_o argument_n insufficient_a to_o clear_v what_o i_o have_v undertake_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o pronounce_v it_o let_v we_o see_v how_o he_o make_v good_a his_o sentence_n i_o proceed_v distinct_o first_o to_o lay_v down_o my_o argument_n prove_v limitation_n p._n 31._o then_o

have_v any_o other_o beginning_n then_o voluntary_a condescent_n as_o if_o a_o government_n by_o voluntary_a condescent_n may_v not_o receive_v a_o radical_a limitation_n but_o it_o lie_v on_o he_o
