eternal_a god_n according_a as_o he_o be_v reveal_v in_o his_o most_o holy_a word_n and_o shall_v according_a to_o that_o same_o word_n maintain_v the_o true_a religion_n the_o preach_a of_o the_o

receive_v in_o this_o realm_n here_o i_o must_v confess_v my_o own_o weakness_n in_o the_o point_n of_o the_o late_a king_n james_n accession_n to_o the_o crown_n for_o my_o reason_n can_v never_o persuade_v i_o of_o any_o right_n he_o can_v just_o claim_v to_o it_o as_o long_o as_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n enact_v this_o coronation_n oath_n to_o be_v take_v by_o all_o succeed_a king_n be_v in_o force_n since_o he_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v swear_v it_o thus_o the_o two_o fundamental_a hinge_n of_o the_o government_n of_o scotland_n be_v first_o that_o the_o law_n the_o people_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o be_v such_o as_o be_v make_v by_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n and_o second_o that_o the_o government_n be_v administer_v by_o the_o king_n according_a to_o these_o

hinge_v be_v break_v off_o and_o if_o the_o government_n be_v not_o administrate_v by_o the_o king_n according_a to_o these_o law_n than_o the_o other_o hinge_v be_v break_v off_o also_o and_o in_o either_o or_o both_o of_o these_o case_n the_o constitution_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o our_o legal_a government_n cease_v before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o other_o general_a head_n propose_v there_o be_v one_o objection_n that_o lie_v natural_o in_o my_o way_n which_o i_o judge_v necessary_a to_o be_v remove_v when_o i_o speak_v of_o law_n be_v only_o make_v by_o the_o king_n and_o the_o three_o

seem_v to_o infringe_v that_o fundamental_a constitution_n because_o one_o of_o the_o three_o estate_n be_v thereby_o remove_v viz._n that_o of_o the_o bishop_n this_o be_v easy_o answer_v when_o i_o have_v tell_v they_o that_o before_o the_o reformation_n the_o three_o estate_n of_o parliament_n be_v thus_o reckon_v up_o the_o archbishop_n bishop_n abbat_n prior_n and_o commendator_n of_o the_o

the_o bishop_n to_o the_o reformation_n itself_o the_o parliament_n be_v please_v not_o only_o to_o abolish_v the_o error_n of_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n but_o also_o the_o hierarchy_n of_o bishop_n with_o all_o their_o privilege_n and_o honour_n whereof_o that_o of_o be_v the_o first_o of_o the_o three_o estate_n be_v one_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n have_v continue_v under_o the_o government_n of_o presbyter_n for_o a_o great_a many_o year_n king_n james_n the_o first_o of_o england_n sound_v a_o way_n to_o restore_v episcopacy_n in_o spite_n of_o the_o struggle_a genius_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o albeit_o at_o that_o time_n the_o bishop_n by_o a_o tacit_n consent_n take_v their_o place_n in_o parliament_n yet_o whether_o by_o neglect_n or_o design_n i_o know_v not_o they_o be_v never_o restore_v to_o that_o privilege_n of_o be_v account_v one_o of_o the_o three_o estate_n of_o parliament_n but_o be_v ever_o since_o repute_v to_o make_v up_o but_o a_o part_n of_o one_o estate_n in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o temporal_a lord_n the_o second_o being_z the_o representative_n of_o county_n and_o the_o three_o these_o of_o the_o burrough_n this_o account_n i_o judge_v the_o fit_a to_o give_v that_o a_o great_a many_o who_o have_v not_o the_o occasion_n of_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o country_n be_v inclinable_a to_o think_v that_o our_o reckon_n up_o of_o the_o three_o estate_n be_v parallel_n with_o that_o of_o england_n when_o indeed_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o more_o different_a england_n owe_v its_o reformation_n to_o bishop_n whereof_o some_o of_o they_o have_v the_o glory_n of_o seal_v it_o with_o their_o blood_n and_o that_o order_n have_v ever_o since_o afford_v the_o great_a luminary_n of_o the_o church_n when_o popery_n be_v abolish_v in_o england_n the_o heirarchy_n of_o bishop_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v lay_v aside_o that_o it_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o state_n as_o to_o all_o its_o privilege_n and_o particular_o that_o of_o be_v the_o first_o distinct_a state_n of_o parliament_n as_o they_o find_v it_o at_o the_o reformation_n what_o i_o have_v advance_v in_o point_n of_o the_o present_a reckon_n up_o of_o the_o three_o estate_n of_o scotland_n will_v appear_v far_o beyond_o all_o doubt_n if_o we_o consider_v that_o in_o most_o of_o the_o parliament_n of_o king_n james_n the_o first_o his_o reign_n there_o be_v none_o of_o the_o order_n of_o bishop_n the_o hierarchy_n be_v not_o yet_o restore_v and_o yet_o the_o validity_n of_o these_o parliament_n be_v never_o call_v in_o question_n in_o any_o of_o the_o succeed_a reign_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o general_n head_n propose_v viz._n whether_o or_o not_o the_o late_a king_n do_v forfeit_v his_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n by_o subvert_v the_o abovementioned_a two_o fundamental_a hinge_n of_o the_o government_n and_o if_o thereupon_o the_o estate_n do_v just_o lay_v he_o aside_o in_o inquire_v into_o this_o i_o shall_v not_o give_v the_o reader_n the_o trouble_n of_o enumerate_v the_o several_a case_n in_o which_o the_o great_a champion_n of_o regal_a prerogative_n allow_v king_n may_v forfeit_v their_o right_n though_o such_o a_o digression_n may_v be_v pardonable_a be_v that_o king_n james_n proclamation_n insinuate_v fair_o that_o in_o no_o case_n it_o can_v happen_v i_o confess_v i_o be_o so_o great_a a_o friend_n to_o monarchy_n as_o be_v the_o best_a of_o government_n and_o most_o suitable_a to_o the_o genius_n of_o our_o nation_n that_o i_o can_v not_o wish_v it_o precarious_a nor_o the_o royal_a prerogative_n sink_v below_o what_o our_o parliament_n precede_v the_o two_o last_o reign_n have_v determine_v it_o and_o i_o think_v the_o late_a king_n james_n have_v reason_n to_o say_v of_o the_o law_n of_o scotland_n the_o same_o he_o be_v please_v to_o say_v of_o these_o of_o england_n that_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v the_o king_n as_o great_a a_o monarch_n as_o he_o can_v wish_v there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o argument_n that_o enforce_v the_o unreasonableness_n of_o that_o opinion_n that_o king_n may_v be_v call_v to_o a_o account_n for_o every_o mis-management_n and_o indeed_o it_o will_v seem_v much_o safe_a for_o the_o people_n many_o time_n to_o lie_v under_o the_o encroachment_n of_o their_o prince_n then_o to_o endeavour_v a_o redress_n by_o a_o remedy_n that_o prove_v often_o worse_o than_o the_o disease_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o mis-management_n in_o general_a though_o many_o and_o great_a that_o unmake_n a_o king_n but_o only_o such_o as_o shake_v and_o subvert_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o government_n and_o unhinge_v the_o fundamental_a constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o if_o mis-management_n of_o this_o kind_n can_v be_v just_o charge_v upon_o the_o late_a king_n it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o immediate_o upon_o his_o so_o do_v our_o constitution_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o our_o legal_a government_n dissolve_v and_o thereupon_o he_o cease_v to_o be_v our_o king_n and_o we_o to_o be_v his_o subject_n and_o how_o far_o the_o late_a king_n be_v thus_o chargeable_a will_v appear_v in_o the_o follow_a consideration_n that_o the_o first_o fundamental_a hinge_v of_o our_o constitution_n viz._n that_o the_o law_n the_o people_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o be_v make_v by_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v subvert_v by_o the_o late_a king_n be_v evident_a in_o his_o assume_v a_o power_n to_o annul_v and_o disable_v law_n by_o his_o
