liberty_n and_o estate_n be_v only_o insist_v upon_o in_o my_o say_a charge_n f._n but_o pray_v sir_n tell_v i_o as_o to_o the_o king_n be_v he_o not_o the_o sole_a supreme_a power_n in_o england_n i._o no_o certain_o for_o than_o he_o can_v make_v law_n and_o raise_v money_n without_o the_o people_n consent_n but_o every_o print_a act_n of_o parliament_n will_v show_v you_o where_o the_o supreme_a power_n reside_v wherein_o it_o be_v express_o recite_v in_o these_o word_n be_v it_o therefore_o enact_v by_o the_o king_n be_v most_o excellent_a majesty_n and_o by_o and_o with_o the_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o the_o commons_o of_o this_o realm_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o same_o or_o as_o i_o can_v show_v you_o in_o several_a statute_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o viiith_o wherein_o it_o be_v recite_v thus_o be_v it_o enact_v by_o the_o assent_n and_o consent_v of_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n and_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o the_o commons_o in_o this_o present_a parliament_n assemble_v and_o by_o authority_n of_o the_o same_o whereby_o you_o may_v see_v that_o not_o only_o the_o word_n assent_v and_o consent_n but_o the_o word_n authority_n be_v refer_v as_o well_o to_o all_o the_o three_o estate_n as_o to_o the_o king_n f._n this_o i_o confess_v be_v plain_a enough_o but_o what_o be_v the_o king_n be_v chief_a prerogative_n i._o i_o will_v tell_v you_o in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o i_o can_v his_o majesty_n chief_a prerogative_n for_o to_o enumerate_v they_o all_o will_v be_v endless_a be_v these_o first_o to_o call_v parliament_n once_o a_o year_n or_o often_o and_o dissolve_v they_o if_o he_o please_v to_o give_v the_o last_o hand_n or_o sanction_n to_o all_o law_n for_o raise_v of_o tax_n and_o for_o the_o enact_v all_o other_o thing_n that_o his_o majesty_n join_v with_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v enact_v to_o appoint_v judge_n to_o try_v condemn_v and_o execute_v traitor_n and_o all_o other_o malefactor_n for_o treason_n and_o other_o crime_n and_o to_o grant_v pardon_n for_o those_o crime_n if_o his_o majesty_n shall_v think_v fit_a yet_o still_o according_a to_o his_o coronation_n oath_n to_o grant_v commission_n to_o all_o other_o magistrate_n and_o officer_n both_o civil_a and_o military_a no_o arm_n be_v regular_o to_o be_v raise_v but_o by_o his_o authority_n also_o by_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o privy-council_n to_o issue_v proclamation_n according_a to_o law_n and_o for_o the_o public_a good_a for_o enforce_v the_o observation_n of_o such_o law_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a in_o case_n those_o that_o be_v entrust_v with_o the_o execution_n of_o they_o prove_v too_o remiss_a last_o to_o make_v war_n and_o peace_n though_o the_o latter_a as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a of_o these_o be_v ancient_o very_o seldom_o make_v without_o the_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o parliament_n these_o be_v the_o chief_a prerogative_n which_o i_o mention_v in_o my_o charge_n though_o i_o grant_v there_o be_v divers_a other_o though_o less_o material_a f._n but_o pray_v sir_n can_v the_o king_n by_o his_o prerogative_n do_v some_o thing_n against_o the_o law_n and_o dispense_v with_o they_o in_o all_o case_n which_o he_o himself_o may_v judge_v for_o the_o common_a good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n i._o the_o king_n have_v ancient_o no_o power_n to_o dispense_v with_o statute_n with_o non_fw-la obstantes_fw-la and_o so_o it_o be_v solemn_o declare_v in_o the_o king_n bench_n in_o the_o 39th_o of_o k._n edward_n the_o 3d._n pasch._n by_o all_o the_o justice_n as_o a_o rule_n in_o law_n well_o know_v at_o that_o time_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o be_v it_o not_o too_o tedious_a how_o this_o prerogative_n of_o dispensation_n first_o begin_v but_o even_o then_o the_o king_n can_v not_o dispense_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v moral_o evil_a in_o itself_o or_o with_o what_o be_v enact_v by_o authority_n of_o parliament_n for_o the_o common_a good_a and_o safety_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n or_o nation_n in_o general_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o the_o late_a king_n james_n can_v not_o dispense_v with_o all_o statute_n concern_v the_o take_n away_o the_o test_n because_o the_o whole_a nation_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o they_o nor_o can_v he_o dispense_v with_o any_o act_n which_o confer_v a_o particular_a right_o or_o privilege_n on_o a_o three_o person_n and_o last_o he_o can_v not_o common_o dispense_v with_o any_o statute_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a provision_n to_o prevent_v the_o king_n from_o grant_v charter_n with_o clause_n of_o non-obstantes_a but_o now_o all_o dispensation_n with_o such_o statute_n be_v take_v away_o by_o a_o particular_a clause_n in_o the_o late_a act_n of_o the_o right_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n mar._n which_o you_o may_v see_v if_o you_o please_v and_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o solemn_a declaration_n of_o what_o be_v the_o ancient_a law_n of_o england_n before_o non_fw-la obstantes_fw-la come_v up_o f._n i_o be_o very_a well_o satisfy_v in_o this_o but_o pray_v sir_n tell_v i_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o king_n can_v as_o the_o supreme_a executive_a power_n of_o the_o kingdom_n exercise_v his_o royal_a prerogative_n though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o some_o particular_a person_n i._o i_o can_v give_v you_o a_o very_a good_a reason_n for_o this_o because_o this_o will_v be_v contrary_a to_o that_o trust_n which_o be_v at_o first_o repose_v in_o the_o king_n by_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o nation_n when_o this_o limit_a monarchy_n be_v first_o institute_v and_o which_o that_o ancient_a treatise_n call_v the_o mirror_n of_o justice_n 2._o write_v above_o four_o hundred_o year_n since_o very_o well_o set_v forth_o the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n as_o it_o stand_v before_o the_o conquest_n as_o also_o the_o original_a of_o the_o government_n of_o this_o kingdom_n by_o one_o person_n or_o monarch_n which_o he_o thus_o recite_v that_o when_o forty_o prince_n that_o be_v aldermen_z or_o earl_n of_o county_n do_v elect_a one_o king_n viz._n egbert_n to_o reign_v over_o they_o to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v their_o person_n and_o good_n in_o peace_n by_o rule_n of_o right_a they_o make_v he_o at_o first_o to_o swear_v that_o he_o will_v maintain_v with_o all_o his_o power_n the_o true_a christian_a faith_n and_o will_v govern_v his_o people_n by_o right_a without_o any_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o will_v also_o be_v obedient_a to_o suffer_v right_o i._n e._n justice_n as_o well_o as_o other_o of_o his_o people_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o all_o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v trust_v in_o the_o king_n by_o law_n for_o the_o good_a and_o preservation_n of_o his_o people_n and_o not_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o a_o arbitrary_a will_n or_o power_n contrary_a thereunto_o as_o also_o sir_n john_n fortescue_n once_o lord_n chancellor_n to_o king_n henry_n the_o vith_o in_o his_o treatise_n in_o praise_n of_o our_o english_a law_n have_v thus_o handsome_o set_v forth_o viz._n that_o the_o king_n be_v make_v or_o elect_v for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o the_o law_n the_o body_n and_o good_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o he_o have_v this_o power_n derive_v from_o the_o people_n so_o that_o he_o can_v long_o govern_v they_o by_o any_o other_o power_n and_o he_o also_o give_v we_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o can_v regular_o dispense_v with_o act_n of_o parliament_n because_o say_v he_o they_o be_v make_v by_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o whole_a realm_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o they_o that_o prove_v inconvenient_a the_o king_n may_v quick_o or_o in_o a_o short_a time_n call_v another_o parliament_n to_o amend_v it_o but_o not_o without_o that_o as_o it_o certain_o will_v if_o the_o king_n have_v a_o absolute_a and_o unlimited_a power_n of_o dispense_v with_o all_o law_n so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o king_n be_v entrust_v with_o his_o prerogative_n by_o law_n that_o be_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n only_o for_o their_o benefit_n and_o preservation_n therefore_o if_o the_o judge_n or_o any_o other_o inferior_a officer_n act_v contrary_a thereunto_o though_o by_o the_o king_n be_v express_a letter_n or_o message_n they_o be_v forswear_v and_o may_v be_v punish_v for_o it_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o the_o king_n whilst_o act_v thus_o by_o his_o subordinate_a officer_n or_o minister_n be_v say_v to_o do_v no_o wrong_n because_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v question_v for_o it_o and_o if_o he_o act_v otherwise_o by_o his_o own_o personal_a power_n or_o command_v it_o be_v not_o as_o king_n of_o england_n but_o as_o a_o private_a person_n

ground_n and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o course_n of_o all_o parliament_n that_o have_v be_v call_v immediate_o after_o any_o great_a and_o general_a resistance_n or_o revolution_n make_v upon_o the_o account_n abovemention_v this_o i_o can_v prove_v to_o you_o from_o several_a instance_n in_o divers_a king_n reign_v since_o the_o conquest_n be_v it_o worth_a my_o pain_n but_o still_o in_o all_o those_o case_n the_o first_o opposition_n have_v be_v from_o the_o great_a body_n of_o the_o clergy_n nobility_n and_o people_n together_o as_o you_o may_v particular_o read_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n john_n not_o long_o before_o the_o great_a council_n at_o runney_n mead._n f._n but_o pray_v sir_n can_v you_o also_o justify_v those_o lord_n and_o gentleman_n who_o take_v up_o arm_n and_o declare_v for_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n and_o also_o those_o lord_n together_o with_o the_o officer_n and_o soldier_n who_o desert_v the_o king_n and_o go_v into_o the_o prince_n army_n pray_v sir_n do_v you_o look_v upon_o the_o government_n to_o be_v then_o actual_o dissolve_v when_o they_o go_v in_o to_o he_o and_o that_o the_o king_n by_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o original_a contract_n be_v then_o no_o long_o king_n i._o i_o do_v not_o say_v so_o for_o though_o those_o violation_n if_o obstinate_o persist_v in_o without_o amendment_n be_v enough_o to_o create_v such_o a_o dissolution_n and_o consequent_o a_o forfeiture_n of_o the_o crown_n as_o they_o wrought_v at_o the_o last_o yet_o the_o government_n can_v never_o be_v dissolve_v so_o long_o as_o there_o remain_v any_o hope_n that_o the_o king_n will_v amend_v those_o violation_n he_o have_v make_v in_o a_o free_a parliament_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o which_o as_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o his_o highness_n come_v over_o so_o be_v it_o also_o of_o those_o lord_n gentleman_n and_o officer_n go_v in_o to_o he_o or_o declare_v for_o he_o and_o this_o i_o think_v they_o may_v very_o well_o justify_v both_o in_o honour_n and_o conscience_n and_o though_o there_o be_v no_o express_a law_n for_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n and_o people_n of_o other_o kingdom_n as_o well_o as_o this_o have_v many_o time_n do_v before_o in_o former_a age_n when_o their_o king_n be_v mislead_v and_o delude_v by_o evil_a councillor_n or_o minister_n of_o state_n have_v make_v the_o like_a breach_n upon_o their_o liberty_n and_o though_o i_o confess_v such_o take_n up_o of_o arm_n have_v not_o always_o meet_v with_o the_o desire_a success_n yet_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o have_v and_o then_o such_o wicked_a judge_n and_o councillor_n have_v not_o fail_v to_o be_v punish_v and_o those_o lord_n gentleman_n and_o other_o who_o so_o noble_o and_o stout_o stand_v up_o for_o the_o right_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o nation_n have_v be_v also_o pardon_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o that_o with_o the_o king_n be_v own_o consent_n when_o those_o wicked_a man_n be_v once_o remove_v but_o the_o king_n himselff_n be_v never_o touch_v till_o by_o his_o own_o wilful_a and_o obstinate_a persist_v in_o such_o violent_a course_n he_o let_v the_o nation_n see_v that_o he_o be_v whole_o irreclaimable_a and_o obstinate_o bend_v to_o destroy_v our_o liberty_n and_o set_v up_o arbitrary_a government_n and_o tyranny_n in_o this_o kingdom_n as_o i_o can_v show_v you_o from_o several_a instance_n in_o the_o reign_v of_o king_n john_n henry_n iii_o edward_n i._n and_o richard_n ii_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o give_v you_o a_o particular_a history_n of_o all_o those_o transaction_n so_o that_o i_o suppose_v a_o twofold_a right_n of_o resistance_n in_o the_o people_n the_o one_o warrant_v by_o the_o law_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n which_o may_v well_o consist_v with_o our_o loyalty_n to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o the_o intent_n only_o to_o obtain_v a_o free_a parliament_n to_o redress_v grievance_n and_o punish_v those_o evil_a councillor_n who_o have_v be_v the_o chief_a minister_n and_o designer_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o king_n james_n before_o his_o departure_n the_o other_o natural_a when_o the_o government_n by_o the_o king_n be_v wilful_a and_o obstinate_a refusal_n to_o redress_v such_o grievance_n by_o cease_v to_o govern_v we_o according_a to_o law_n he_o thereby_o also_o cease_v to_o be_v king_n and_o then_o the_o commonwealth_n or_o civil_a society_n be_v without_o a_o head_n to_o execute_v common_a justice_n be_v absolute_o dissolve_v f._n what_o then_o be_v mean_v by_o these_o word_n in_o the_o late_a vote_n and_o declaration_n of_o the_o convention_n viz._n that_o king_n james_n have_v withdraw_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n have_v abdicate_v the_o government_n do_v you_o believe_v that_o the_o king_n be_v bare_a delertion_n of_o the_o kingdom_n when_o he_o declare_v he_o can_v not_o help_v it_o shall_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o in_o abdication_n of_o the_o government_n methinks_v that_o seem_v somewhat_o hard_a to_o conceive_v i._o to_o deal_v free_o with_o you_o i_o never_o understand_v the_o word_n abdicate_v in_o that_o sense_n but_o only_o according_a to_o all_o the_o precedent_a clause_n in_o this_o vote_n viz._n that_o the_o king_n by_o endeavour_v to_o break_v the_o original_a contract_n between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o people_n and_o by_o the_o advice_n of_o jesuit_n and_o wicked_a person_n have_v violate_v the_o fundamental_a law_n and_o have_v withdraw_v himself_o out_o of_o this_o kingdom_n have_v abdicate_v the_o government_n where_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o word_n abdicate_v relate_v to_o all_o the_o clause_n aforego_v as_o well_o as_o to_o his_o desert_v the_o kingdom_n or_o else_o they_o will_v have_v be_v whole_o in_o vain_a so_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o word_n in_o this_o place_n be_v no_o more_o than_o that_o king_n james_n by_o

all_o which_o be_v express_v by_o his_o withdraw_a himself_o out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n have_v abdicate_v the_o government_n that_o be_v by_o refuse_v to_o govern_v we_o according_a to_o that_o law_n by_o which_o he_o hold_v the_o crown_n he_o have_v implicit_o renounce_v his_o title_n to_o it_o as_o when_o for_o example_n a_o tenant_n for_o life_n alien_n in_o fee_n though_o he_o take_v back_o
