now_o i_o be_o not_o concern_v to_o inquire_v what_o dr._n hicks_n believe_v about_o the_o dispense_v power_n but_o what_o he_o have_v say_v and_o our_o author_n have_v not_o produce_v one_o word_n out_o of_o his_o book_n about_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o suppose_v he_o can_v not_o for_o his_o own_o word_n have_v be_v a_o better_a authority_n in_o this_o case_n than_o sir_n robert_n pointz_n i_o be_o sure_a where_o he_o particular_o state_n and_o enumerate_v the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n he_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o for_o as_o he_o reckon_v they_o up_o they_o be_v these_o 1._o

the_o dead_a letter_n of_o they_o here_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o about_o this_o dispense_v power_n when_o there_o be_v a_o fair_a occasion_n for_o it_o possible_o this_o be_v a_o omission_n which_o at_o that_o time_n he_o do_v not_o think_v of_o that_o not_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o dispute_n or_o it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v not_o so_o well_o instruct_v and_o do_v not_o think_v this_o essential_a to_o the_o notion_n of_o all_o sovereign_a power_n as_o seem_v probable_a from_o his_o two_o sort_n of_o imperial_a power_n either_o of_o which_o make_v a_o imperial_a sovereign_n such_o as_o be_v limit_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n only_o or_o such_o as_o be_v limit_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n and_o civil_a law_n and_o paction_n too_o the_o power_n in_o both_o sort_n of_o sovereign_n be_v imperial_a full_a perfect_a absolute_a and_o entire_a but_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o be_v different_o bound_v and_o regulate_v one_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o

the_o former_a because_o the_o sovereign_n who_o be_v under_o political_a limitation_n as_o to_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o power_n have_v his_o power_n nevertheless_o as_o absolute_o full_o and_o

as_o to_o the_o exercise_n thereof_o and_o as_o a_o fountain_n that_o have_v channel_n and_o pipe_n make_v for_o it_o within_o which_o its_o water_n be_v bound_v in_o their_o passage_n and_o through_o which_o they_o be_v to_o flow_v be_v nevertheless_o as_o perfect_v a_o fountain_n and_o have_v its_o water_n as_o full_o and_o entire_o within_o itself_o as_o any_o other_o fountain_n who_o water_n

nevertheless_o as_o complete_a a_o sovereign_n and_o have_v the_o sovereign_a power_n as_o full_o and_o entire_o within_o himself_o as_o he_o who_o be_v at_o liberty_n to_o exercise_v his_o

than_o a_o free_a flow_a spring_n so_o limit_a sovereign_n be_v as_o perfect_v and_o essential_a sovereign_n as_o the_o pure_o arbitrary_a and_o despotic_a and_o general_o more_o beneficial_a and_o salutary_a to_o the_o world_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o the_o reader_n may_v find_v to_o this_o purpose_n in_o the_o same_o place_n which_o possible_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v not_o mention_v this_o absolute_a dispense_v power_n among_o the_o essential_a right_n of_o sovereignty_n because_o he_o may_v imagine_v that_o this_o may_v not_o be_v essential_a to_o all_o sovereign_n not_o to_o those_o the_o exercise_n of_o who_o sovereign_a power_n be_v regulate_v by_o civil_a and_o political_a law_n who_o yet_o be_v as_o perfect_a sovereign_n as_o the_o most_o arbitrary_a and_o despotic_a prince_n but_o i_o do_v not_o love_v to_o guess_v at_o other_o man_n thought_n nor_o shall_v i_o undertake_v to_o justify_v or_o condemn_v this_o notion_n of_o he_o but_o i_o think_v the_o reader_n by_o this_o time_n see_v what_o little_a reason_n there_o be_v to_o appeal_v to_o the_o dean_n of_o worcester_n to_o justify_v the_o dispense_n power_n his_o next_o authority_n be_v archbishop_n bancroft_n who_o it_o seem_v assert_v that_o the_o judge_n be_v but_o the_o king_n delegate_n and_o that_o the_o king_n may_v take_v what_o cause_v he_o shall_v please_v to_o determine_v from_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o judge_n and_o determine_v they_o himself_o which_o the_o archbishop_n say_v be_v clear_a in_o divinity_n that_o such_o authority_n belong_v to_o the_o king_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n now_o i_o wonder_v this_o writer_n will_v produce_v this_o and_o that_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o at_o that_o very_a time_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o king_n james_n my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n coke_n contradict_v the_o archbishop_n and_o tell_v the_o king_n he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o and_o give_v he_o his_o reason_n why_o he_o can_v not_o as_o the_o ch._n justice_n himself_o report_v it_o in_o that_o place_n to_o which_o this_o writer_n refer_v jac._n 12_o co._n fol._n 64._o 5._o jac._n now_o methinks_v here_o he_o lose_v more_o than_o he_o get_v for_o if_o he_o have_v get_v a_o great_a churchman_n he_o have_v lose_v a_o very_a great_a lawyer_n who_o judgement_n be_v more_o considerable_a in_o such_o matter_n for_o as_o the_o archbishop_n can_v tell_v he_o what_o have_v be_v do_v in_o scripture-time_n under_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n that_o moses_n and_o david_n and_o solomon_n and_o other_o king_n of_o israel_n administer_v justice_n in_o their_o own_o person_n so_o the_o ch._n justice_n can_v tell_v he_o what_o the_o constitution_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o the_o regular_a form_n of_o law_n will_v admit_v which_o be_v more_o to_o our_o purpose_n 2._o i_o wonder_v a_o little_a more_o how_o he_o can_v prove_v the_o dispense_n power_n from_o this_o the_o king_n may_v judge_v what_o cause_v he_o please_v himself_o ergo_fw-la he_o can_v dispense_v with_o all_o law_n when_o he_o please_v do_v the_o power_n of_o hear_v and_o try_v cause_n and_o expound_v and_o interpret_n law_n include_v in_o it_o a_o power_n of_o dispense_n with_o law_n then_o it_o seem_v every_o judge_n be_v by_o his_o office_n a_o dispenser_n with_o law_n if_o the_o king_n have_v power_n of_o determine_v cause_n in_o his_o own_o person_n must_v he_o judge_v with_o or_o without_o law_n if_o he_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o law_n how_o do_v this_o prove_v his_o power_n of_o dispense_v with_o law_n sure_o this_o be_v a_o power_n which_o can_v result_v only_o from_o a_o supreme_a absolute_a and_o unlimited_a sovereignty_n not_o from_o a_o mere_a power_n of_o hear_v and_o judge_v cause_n according_a to_o the_o true_a meaning_n and_o interpretation_n of_o law_n so_o little_o do_v this_o writer_n understand_v what_o he_o write_v about_o and_o it_o be_v great_a pity_n there_o be_v no_o more_o care_n take_v that_o the_o king_n prerogative_n do_v not_o suffer_v by_o such_o unskilful_a scribbler_n his_o next_o man_n be_v a_o very_a great_a one_o indeed_o not_o only_o a_o archbishop_n but_o a_o martyr_n for_o
