A25519	An Answer to a late pamphlet intituled, The judgement and doctrine of the clergy of the Church of England concerning one special branch of the King's prerogative, viz, in dispensing with the penal-laws shewing that this is not affected by the Most Reverend Fathers in God, the Lords Arch-Bishops, Bancroft, Laud and Usher ... the Lord Bishop Sanderson ... the Reverend Doctors, Dr. Hevlin, Dr. Barrow, Dr. Sherlock ... Dr. Hicks, Dr. Nalson, Dr. Puller, so far as appears from their words cited in this pamphlet : in a letter to a friend.		1687 (1687)	Wing A3309; ESTC R15256	30,429	41

his_o king_n and_o the_o church_n the_o famous_a archbishop_n laud_n who_o judgement_n will_v weigh_v more_o with_o i_o than_o some_o other_o man_n reason_n he_o quote_v a_o say_n of_o he_o out_o of_o

and_o i_o can_v then_o guess_v how_o he_o shall_v determine_v this_o point_n of_o the_o dispense_v power_n but_o let_v we_o now_o consider_v what_o this_o author_n allege_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o

the_o principal_a thing_n he_o take_v notice_n of_o be_v their_o exemption_n from_o law_n 68_o p._n 68_o as_o the_o senate_n of_o rome_n decree_v to_o vespasian_n that_o what_o law_n soever_o either_o

he_o prove_v from_o grammarian_n civilian_n and_o schoolman_n and_o by_o this_o good_a argument_n as_o no_o man_n therefore_o be_v superior_a to_o himself_o so_o no_o man_n have_v jurisdiction_n over_o himself_o because_o none_o can_v oblige_v a_o man_n against_o his_o will_n but_o only_o his_o superior_a and_o the_o jurisdiction_n over_o a_o man_n self_n may_v be_v dissolve_v at_o pleasure_n which_o only_o signify_v that_o the_o king_n be_v not_o bind_v in_o his_o own_o person_n to_o observe_v the_o law_n as_o subject_n be_v because_o no_o body_n have_v any_o jurisdiction_n over_o he_o but_o himself_o and_o no_o man_n can_v command_v himself_o any_o long_a than_o he_o please_v right_n but_o suppose_v a_o sovereign_a prince_n have_v bind_v himself_o by_o oath_n to_o god_n and_o his_o
