because_o in_o the_o weighty_a affair_n of_o the_o kingdom_n now_o in_o agitation_n the_o most_o faithful_a and_o most_o wise_a council_n of_o the_o land_n ought_v to_o be_v use_v ii_o because_o the_o

be_v conceive_v to_o pertain_v whole_o to_o the_o king_n majesty_n and_o unto_o the_o honourable_a house_n who_o as_o hold_v the_o supreme_a governance_n next_o unto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o sacred_a word_n ever_o since_o moses_n the_o prophet_n have_v as_o other_o state_n assembly_n always_o appoint_v the_o particularity_n of_o public_a affair_n iii_o to_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n because_o the_o most_o approve_a student_n of_o the_o english_a law_n do_v very_o often_o in_o their_o book_n affirm_v that_o the_o king_n majesty_n be_v so_o full_o incorporate_v into_o his_o

it_o be_v that_o the_o king_n be_v never_o in_o any_o court_n call_v to_o appear_v for_o that_o by_o the_o common_a intendment_n of_o the_o law_n his_o royal_a presence_n be_v always_o understand_v to_o be_v virtual_o and_o vigorous_o present_a in_o all_o seat_n of_o justice_n yea_o though_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v a_o infant_n in_o the_o cradle_n iv_o because_o the_o king_n and_o his_o parliament_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a father_n and_o mother_n and_o the_o weal_n public_a to_o be_v their_o true_a natural_a child_n and_o a●_n when_o the_o son_n fall_v sick_a the_o

the_o great_a college_n of_o state-physitian_n have_v discover_v to_o the_o royal_a father_n that_o this_o child_n of_o the_o public_a state_n be_v take_v with_o a_o dangerous_a disease_n his_o

of_o physic_n that_o sovereign_a father_n seem_v to_o have_v suspend_v his_o sole_a regent_n power_n which_o nevertheless_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o patient_n shall_v be_v make_v whole_a that_o mother_n in_o all_o duty_n will_v humble_o resign_v he_o to_o the_o former_a government_n of_o his_o sovereign_a parent_n and_o so_o in_o case_n of_o perilous_a disease_n the_o mother_n may_v seem_v to_o rule_v joint_o with_o the_o father_n v._o to_o his_o majesty_n and_o to_o the_o parliament_n because_o it_o be_v think_v that_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n arise_v over_o the_o realm_n of_o england_n even_o as_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o sphere_n of_o heaven_n at_o who_o appearance_n all_o other_o court_n and_o counsel_n of_o this_o land_n do_v total_o vanish_v as_o do_v the_o star_n before_o the_o sun_n beam_n save_v what_o influence_n those_o inferior_n may_v borrow_v from_o that_o supreme_a court_n vi_o not_o only_o to_o the_o king_n but_o to_o the_o parliament_n likewise_o for_o that_o as_o by_o the_o customary_a law_n of_o england_n all_o court_n have_v power_n not_o only_o to_o defend_v their_o authority_n but_o more_o to_o make_v by-law_n and_o order_n to_o bind_v
