fourteen_o twelve_o year_n her_o age_n of_o consent_n and_o nine_o year_n capable_a to_o be_v endow_v a_o year_n and_o a_o day_n give_v to_o sue_v a_o appeal_n the_o like_a limitation_n of_o a_o

can_v tell_v how_o or_o when_o they_o begin_v shall_v we_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o they_o begin_v by_o the_o king_n absolute_a power_n and_o infer_v that_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n they_o may_v be_v change_v at_o his_o pleasure_n if_o the_o king_n may_v increase_v his_o fine_n upon_o the_o purchase_n of_o original_a writt_n which_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n he_o may_v do_v that_o he_o may_v do_v his_o custom_n nay_o he_o have_v more_o colour_n for_o this_o then_o for_o that_o because_o there_o be_v no_o statute_n against_o this_o he_o may_v easy_o raise_v that_o revenue_n to_o the_o value_n of_o his_o custom_n but_o no_o man_n can_v nor_o will_v i_o hope_v offer_v to_o maintain_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a you_o see_v the_o weakness_n and_o the_o dangerous_a consequence_n of_o this_o argument_n by_o compare_v it_o to_o other_o case_n of_o like_a nature_n to_o say_v the_o truth_n all_o these_o thing_n begin_v no_o man_n can_v say_v certain_o when_o or_o how_o but_o by_o a_o tacit_n consent_n of_o king_n and_o people_n and_o the_o long_a approbation_n of_o time_n beyond_o the_o memory_n of_o any_o man_n and_o yet_o no_o man_n can_v direct_o affirm_v but_o that_o most_o of_o they_o may_v begin_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n though_o now_o there_o be_v no_o record_n extant_a of_o such_o ancient_a parliament_n the_o first_o parliament_n be_v not_o keep_v 9_o h._n 3_o

of_o this_o argument_n my_o l._n dyer_n give_v light_a in_o his_o case_n of_o imposition_n 1_o eliz._n and_o this_o have_v be_v diverse_o enforce_v by_o all_o that_o have_v argue_v for_o imposition_n in_o answer_n of_o which_o i_o will_v consider_v how_o far_o the_o king_n may_v restrain_v the_o passage_n of_o merchant_n and_o then_o will_v examine_v the_o consequence_n of_o the_o argument_n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v the_o king_n can_v restrain_v the_o passage_n of_o merchant_n but_o for_o some_o special_a cause_n wherein_o to_o define_v certain_o and_o resolute_o to_o say_v for_o what_o cause_v he_o may_v and_o for_o what_o not_o i_o will_v not_o undertake_v only_o let_v i_o inform_v you_o that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o these_o precedent_n vouch_v by_o they_o to_o prove_v the_o king_n power_n to_o restrain_v but_o they_o be_v upon_o special_a reason_n as_o by_o reason_n of_o enmity_n with_o such_o a_o nation_n from_o whence_o they_o be_v restrain_v or_o because_o such_o a_o commodity_n may_v not_o be_v spare_v within_o the_o kingdom_n beside_o they_o be_v not_o restraint_n from_o all_o place_n and_o of_o all_o manner_n of_o merchandize_n but_o from_o certain_a place_n only_o and_o for_o certain_a sort_n of_o merchandize_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v that_o restraint_n in_o all_o these_o case_n and_o of_o like_a nature_n be_v by_o the_o common-law_n leave_v to_o the_o king_n absolute_a power_n for_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o merchant_n for_o a_o little_a private_a lucre_n to_o enrich_v the_o king_n enemy_n or_o to_o furnish_v they_o with_o munition_n to_o be_v employ_v against_o the_o state_n or_o utter_o to_o ruin_v the_o commonwealth_n by_o carry_v out_o a_o commodity_n which_o may_v not_o be_v spare_v or_o by_o bring_v in_o of_o some_o that_o may_v be_v hurtful_a nay_o which_o be_v more_o such_o may_v be_v the_o occasion_n that_o the_o king_n may_v i_o doubt_v not_o stop_v the_o passage_n of_o all_o merchant_n from_o all_o place_n for_o a_o short_a time_n as_o upon_o the_o death_n of_o the_o late_a queen_n it_o be_v put_v in_o practice_n to_o prevent_v intelligence_n there_o may_v likewise_o be_v such_o necessary_a use_n of_o their_o ship_n as_o the_o want_n of_o they_o upon_o some_o sudden_a attempt_n may_v be_v a_o cause_n of_o the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o whole_a state_n in_o such_o case_n as_o these_o if_o the_o common_a law_n do_v not_o give_v the_o king_n leave_v to_o restrain_v their_o passage_n by_o his_o absolute_a power_n it_o be_v very_o improvident_a in_o the_o high_a point_n which_o can_v be_v imagine_v of_o so_o wise_a a_o law_n and_o yet_o the_o king_n of_o this_o realm_n have_v always_o be_v spare_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o absolute_a power_n in_o this_o point_n for_o there_o be_v little_o less_o than_o 30._o act_n of_o parliament_n touch_v the_o open_n and_o shut_v up_o of_o the_o passage_n of_o merchant_n most_o of_o which_o as_o i_o conceive_v be_v make_v rather_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o punishment_n then_o for_o want_v of_o power_n in_o the_o king_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o a_o restraint_n by_o absolute_a commandment_n be_v punishable_a as_o all_o other_o contempt_n only_o by_o fine_a and_o imprisonment_n and_o not_o by_o forfeiture_n of_o the_o merchandize_n
