hereditary_o invest_v with_o all_o the_o right_n of_o government_n of_o which_o this_o sort_n of_o judicatory_a power_n be_v a_o principal_a wherefore_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o ancient_a frequency_n

we_o of_o hold_v parliament_n in_o the_o future_a with_o frequency_n more_o convenient_a for_o we_o however_o it_o be_v worth_a the_o observation_n what_o his_o mastership_n do_v grant_v that_o

mischief_n as_o for_o the_o reason_n of_o king_n edward_n act_n i_o have_v show_v already_o that_o his_o parliament_n have_v nothing_o in_o their_o reason_n of_o make_v they_o that_o savour_v of_o the_o old_a custom_n of_o yearly_a frequency_n otherwise_o than_o with_o condition_n there_o shall_v be_v need_n nor_o do_v they_o contain_v any_o sense_n that_o give_v we_o cause_n to_o plead_v that_o they_o be_v antiquate_v or_o to_o desire_v a_o antiquation_n of_o they_o because_o to_o repeal_v they_o will_v be_v a_o injury_n to_o the_o king_n but_o next_o let_v i_o add_v this_o that_o in_o the_o two_o late_a triennial_n act_v it_o be_v imply_v that_o in_o these_o day_n thing_n be_v alter_v to_o such_o a_o pass_n that_o there_o be_v high_a reason_n to_o be_v no_o long_o bind_v to_o the_o ancient_a custom_n of_o that_o annual_a frequency_n which_o his_o mastership_n plead_v for_o and_o thereby_o you_o have_v the_o determination_n of_o two_o whole_a parliament_n the_o forty_o one_o parliament_n and_o this_o parliament_n that_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o say_a custom_n at_o common_a law_n fail_v and_o that_o public_a inconvenience_n if_o not_o public_a mischief_n will_v

what_o i_o have_v make_v evident_a in_o the_o forego_n part_n of_o this_o discourse_n that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o non-use_a of_o king_n edward_n two_o statute_n in_o any_o such_o sense_n as_o he_o

give_v he_o by_o the_o late_a extravagance_n of_o some_o man_n which_o will_v have_v provoke_v any_o prince_n less_o patient_a to_o other_o course_n than_o he_o have_v take_v to_o secure_v himself_o his_o affair_n his_o friend_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o crown_n and_o as_o to_o that_o point_n of_o the_o prorogation_n he_o do_v not_o thereby_o assume_v to_o himself_o any_o power_n to_o dispense_v with_o the_o law_n relate_v to_o the_o course_n of_o parliament_n but_o keep_v within_o the_o bind_v of_o law_n as_o be_v abundant_o prove_v therefore_o the_o drag_v in_o this_o question_n of_o you_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o impertinent_a as_o well_o as_o malicious_o mean_v good_a master_n bencher_n and_o so_o be_v all_o the_o vile_a inference_n that_o you_o have_v make_v thereupon_o to_o catch_v the_o people_n bencher_n 2._o his_o second_o point_n under_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o king_n dismission_n of_o the_o parliament_n without_o any_o day_n set_v for_o their_o return_n

the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n animadversion_n so_o so_o all_o be_v out_o now_o the_o main_a point_n they_o drive_v at_o be_v to_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o

there_o be_v no_o law_n to_o be_v find_v that_o contradict_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v that_o a_o argument_n draw_v from_o those_o two_o statute_n of_o edw._n 3._o be_v a_o argument_n ex_fw-la consequenti_fw-la that_o be_v a_o argument_n ground_v upon_o consequence_n the_o consequence_n if_o good_a aught_o to_o be_v derive_v from_o a_o right_a interpretation_n of_o those_o statute_n now_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o matter_n rest_v only_o upon_o this_o which_o of_o the_o two_o party_n judgement_n you_o will_v rely_v upon_o as_o most_o likely_a to_o make_v right_a interpretation_n of_o the_o statute_n whether_o upon_o our_o author_n judgement_n and_o his_o fellow_n who_o appear_v to_o be_v party_n concern_v in_o a_o present_a factious_a design_n and_o season_n or_o upon_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o queen_n parliament_n which_o sit_v in_o a_o more_o happy_a season_n who_o doubtless_o can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o those_o statute_n but_o neither_o they_o nor_o any_o parliament_n or_o person_n since_o that_o year_n of_o the_o queen_n ever_o find_v fault_n with_o her_o prorogation_n as_o illegal_a which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v will_v have_v be_v do_v before_o this_o time_n if_o that_o parliament_n or_o any_o succeed_a parliament_n or_o lawyer_n or_o other_o person_n before_o the_o time_n of_o the_o late_a prorogation_n have_v apprehend_v the_o queen_n to_o be_v faulty_a in_o she_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v that_o this_o precedent_n of_o prorogation_n make_v by_o that_o most_o excellent_a princess_n be_v a_o good_a one_o and_o that_o the_o interpretation_n of_o those_o statute_n make_v by_o this_o author_n and_o his_o fellow_n to_o serve_v a_o faction_n towards_o the_o ruin_n of_o this_o parliament_n be_v the_o wrong_n moreover_o if_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o statute_n be_v take_v as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o viz._n that_o no_o parliament_n ought_v to_o sit_v above_o a_o year_n but_o a_o new_a one_o to_o be_v call_v within_o the_o year_n why_o be_v not_o those_o statute_n make_v use_v of_o before_o in_o fifteen_o year_n time_n to_o condemn_v the_o sit_v of_o this_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o no_o notable_a lawyer_n shall_v in_o all_o that_o time_n affirm_v the_o illegality_n of_o it_o but_o that_o only_o some_o few_o scarabee_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v now_o to_o

three_o year_n after_o the_o determination_n of_o this_o present_a parliament_n it_o be_v imply_v by_o the_o act_n that_o the_o duration_n of_o this_o parliament_n shall_v not_o be_v comprehend_v within_o any_o determinate_a time_n and_o there_o be_v reason_n for_o it_o because_o they_o have_v a_o tedious_a work_n to_o do_v to_o repair_v the_o ruin_n of_o three_o kingdom_n waste_v and_o

in_o the_o act_n make_v mention_v of_o the_o two_o old_a statute_n of_o edward_n the_o three_o for_o hold_v a_o parliament_n every_o year_n yet_o it_o seem_v they_o do_v not_o then_o in_o their_o virgin-day_n conceive_v themselves_o to_o be_v within_o the_o breach_n of_o those_o statute_n for_o sit_v above_o a_o year_n because_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o make_n of_o this_o act_n which_o doubtless_o so_o many_o learned_a man_n as_o be_v in_o these_o honourable_a house_n will_v never_o have_v presume_v to_o do_v if_o their_o sit_v have_v by_o law_n be_v limit_v to_o but_o a_o year_n time_n for_o than_o they_o can_v not_o but_o have_v apprehend_v that_o the_o law_n they_o make_v in_o the_o three_o year_n before_o must_v have_v be_v null_n and_o void_a for_o want_v of_o legal_a power_n to_o make_v they_o as_o well_o as_o all_o the_o law_n that_o they_o shall_v make_v afterward_o till_o this_o day_n and_o what_o must_v the_o miserable_a consequence_n of_o that_o have_v be_v
