to_o talk_v as_o doctor_n ferne_n do_v of_o a_o moral_a restraint_n in_o such_o a_o case_n sure_o i_o be_o the_o parliament_n have_v power_n to_o raise_v a_o army_n to_o preserve_v god_n ordinance_n

we_o to_o preserve_v it_o who_o be_v in_o the_o fault_n i_o have_v examine_v your_o great_a champion_n doctor_n ferne_n his_o three_o book_n and_o can_v find_v any_o thing_n in_o they_o whereby_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o impartial_a scholar_n may_v be_v full_o resolve_v or_o satisfy_v it_o be_v very_o impertinent_a in_o my_o weak_a judgement_n to_o talk_v of_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o

and_o norman_a line_n for_o doctor_n ferne_n do_v acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v not_o injurious_a to_o his_o majesty_n posterity_n 33._o that_o the_o king_n swear_v to_o a_o limit_a power_n a_o

they_o irrevocable_a doctor_n ferne_n distinguish_v between_o the_o title_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n but_o we_o do_v never_o so_o much_o as_o once_o question_v his_o

of_o the_o parliament_n the_o immunity_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o the_o king_n own_o oath_n nay_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n be_v in_o a_o sort_n

grant_v that_o the_o rest_n need_v not_o be_v dispute_v but_o what_o if_o these_o power_n be_v divide_v and_o clash_v one_o against_o the_o other_o why_o then_o the_o power_n be_v not_o full_o in_o

you_o whether_o the_o power_n of_o the_o militia_n be_v not_o in_o the_o three_o estate_n as_o well_o as_o the_o power_n of_o make_v law_n if_o it_o be_v not_o then_o sure_a the_o power_n of_o make_v law_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n because_o they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o defend_v or_o enforce_v i_o awe_n and_o if_o the_o power_n of_o the_o militia_n be_v in_o the_o three_o estate_n than_o the_o king_n power_n of_o levy_v arm_a man_n etc._n etc._n be_v suspend_v by_o the_o several_a ordinance_n of_o parliament_n for_o it_o be_v doctor_n fernes_n conclusion_n that_o the_o power_n which_o be_v in_o the_o three_o estate_n be_v suspend_v while_o one_o part_n suspend_v ergo_fw-la much_o more_o if_o two_o estate_n suspend_v but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o desire_v doctor_n ferne_n to_o show_v how_o the_o kingdom_n be_v secure_v by_o the_o government_n of_o three_o estate_n if_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n have_v not_o sufficient_a power_n to_o preserve_v the_o king_n and_o the_o kingdom_n in_o case_n the_o king_n refuse_v to_o preserve_v it_o or_o he_o 28._o it_o be_v unreasonable_a say_v doctor_n ferne_n that_o the_o supply_n shall_v be_v make_v by_o the_o body_n only_o without_o the_o head_n nay_o

rather_o doctor_n it_o be_v unreasonable_a for_o the_o head_n to_o neglect_v the_o preservation_n of_o itself_o and_o the_o body_n but_o it_o be_v very_o reasonable_a for_o to_o lift_v up_o both_o arm_n to_o defend_v the_o head_n and_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o therefore_o reasonable_a for_o both_o house_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n and_o lift_v up_o their_o arm_n put_v forth_o their_o whole_a strength_n to_o defend_v the_o king_n and_o themselves_o 6._o doctor_n ferne_n talk_v of_o a_o fundamental_a constitution_n which_o have_v provide_v this_o temper_n of_o three_o estate_n as_o the_o reasonable_a mean_n of_o our_o safety_n but_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o it_o can_v enter_v into_o my_o dull_a pate_n to_o conceive_v that_o our_o government_n be_v of_o any_o settle_a temper_n or_o that_o we_o have_v any_o reasonable_a mean_n provide_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o this_o kingdom_n by_o that_o fundamental_a constitution_n if_o the_o king_n may_v do_v what_o he_o please_v seize_v on_o our_o good_n it_o be_v doctor_n fernes_n supposition_n imprison_v our_o person_n kill_v we_o outright_o and_o which_o be_v worse_o overthrow_v our_o law_n our_o ●iberties_n our_o religion_n and_o all_o at_o once_o and_o by_o consequence_n enslave_v not_o only_o the_o body_n but_o the_o conscience_n of_o our_o posterity_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o power_n in_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n to_o protect_v we_o by_o force_n against_o force_n then_o if_o we_o have_v no_o such_o remedy_n provide_v as_o the_o government_n of_o three_o estate_n be_v we_o not_o subject_v to_o a_o absolute_a monarch_n if_o the_o other_o two_o estate_n have_v no_o legal_a power_n to_o relieve_v our_o neglect_a or_o oppress_a commonwealth_n how_o be_v we_o secure_v by_o the_o temper_n of_o three_o estate_n or_o how_o can_v it_o be_v call_v a_o temper_n or_o a_o temper_n of_o three_o estate_n if_o the_o first_o of_o the_o three_o may_v oppress_v we_o and_o the_o other_o two_o have_v no_o power_n to_o relieve_v we_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o by_o this_o account_n there_o be_v but_o one_o estate_n that_o have_v a_o true_a power_n and_o therefore_o that_o estate_n must_v be_v a_o estate_n of_o absolute_a monarchy_n which_o dr_n ferne_n himself_o seem_v to_o abhor_v and_o yet_o so_o vain_a be_v that_o doctor_n as_o to_o call_v the_o power_n of_o supply_n legal_o place_v in_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n a_o conceit_n nay_o a_o vain_a conceit_n his_o word_n be_v these_o the_o conceit_n of_o supply_n by_o the_o two_o house_n in_o case_n the_o king_n refuse_v to_o preserve_v the_o kingdom_n be_v a_o vain_a conceit_n 28._o and_o if_o that_o be_v true_a than_o i_o must_v conclude_v that_o this_o provision_n of_o a_o temper_n of_o three_o estate_n be_v no_o temper_n no_o provision_n two_o of_o the_o estate_n be_v no_o estate_n or_o else_o this_o provision_n be_v in_o the_o phrase_n of_o doctor_n ferne_n supra_fw-la a_o lame_a provision_n which_o argue_v the_o first_o contrivement_n of_o our_o ancestor_n very_o inconsiderate_a because_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reasonable_a mean_n of_o safety_n provide_v for_o this_o kingdom_n by_o that_o fundamental_a constitution_n which_o provide_v this_o temper_n of_o three_o estate_n 16._o so_o the_o doctor_n love_v to_o call_v it_o though_o he_o make_v one_o estate_n so_o predominant_a that_o
