appendent_a power_n and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o mix_a monarchy_n it_o appear_v in_o this_o that_o though_o the_o late_a king_n and_o his_o predecessor_n be_v to_o keep_v and_o defend_v the_o law_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o the_o sole_a maker_n of_o the_o law_n they_o can_v neither_o make_v new_a law_n nor_o repeal_v the_o old_a of_o themselves_o that_o be_v by_o their_o absolute_a and_o sole_a authority_n the_o people_n by_o their_o representative_n in_o parliament_n have_v a_o power_n with_o the_o king_n they_o to_o contrive_v and_o frame_v such_o law_n as_o be_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o subject_a the_o king_n to_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v those_o law_n for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n to_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n this_o belong_v as_o be_v evident_a in_o all_o former_a parliament_n by_o the_o disannul_n of_o patent_n and_o the_o punish_a monopolist_n which_o have_v be_v burdensome_a and_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o if_o all_o power_n in_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v in_o the_o king_n then_o have_v he_o be_v absolute_a of_o himself_o and_o by_o consequent_a there_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v no_o resistance_n but_o passive_a obedience_n or_o a_o submission_n to_o punishment_n where_o active_a obedience_n can_v not_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n be_v yield_v for_o this_o we_o have_v the_o case_n of_o the_o three_o child_n nebuchaddezzar_n command_n be_v unlawful_a yet_o they_o make_v no_o resistance_n but_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o censure_n and_o sentence_n of_o the_o king_n 16_o king_n dan._n 3._o 16_o now_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v a_o absolute_a monarch_n he_o have_v indeed_o counselor_n but_o none_o to_o correct_v or_o contradict_v his_o extravagance_n but_o so_o it_o be_v not_o with_o the_o late_a king_n of_o england_n for_o patent_n and_o monopoly_n have_v be_v disannul_v and_o patentees_n monopolist_n and_o projector_n have_v be_v censure_v by_o former_a and_o late_a parliament_n and_o therefore_o
