A30366	An enquiry into the present state of affairs, and in particular, whether we owe allegiance to the King in these circumstances? and whether we are bound to treat with him, and to call him back again, or not?	Burnet, Gilbert, 1643-1715.	1689 (1689)	Wing B5811; ESTC R22972	9,060	18

off_o this_o make_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o king_n person_n and_o his_o power_n though_o that_o be_v a_o point_n express_o renounce_v in_o the_o oath_n that_o we_o swear_v so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a after_o all_o that_o if_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n bind_v we_o still_o it_o bind_v we_o to_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o those_o that_o be_v for_o treat_v seem_v willing_a to_o allow_v 7._o all_o the_o scheme_n that_o may_v be_v offer_v of_o secure_v we_o by_o a_o treaty_n with_o the_o king_n have_v such_o visible_a defect_n in_o they_o that_o man_n who_o be_v accustom_v to_o examine_v thing_n can_v be_v deceive_v by_o they_o we_o have_v have_v it_o give_v for_o law_n of_o late_a too_o often_o to_o forget_v it_o that_o all_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o be_v to_o the_o disherison_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v null_n and_o void_a of_o themselves_o so_o here_o all_o the_o security_n that_o can_v be_v offer_v we_o be_v sweep_v away_o at_o once_o we_o can_v have_v no_o legal_a parliament_n without_o swear_v first_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n and_o what_o a_o scorn_n be_v put_v on_o god_n and_o religion_n if_o one_o swear_v this_o oath_n to_o the_o king_n after_o he_o be_v reduce_v to_o that_o naked_a state_n to_o which_o these_o treaters_n pretend_v to_o bring_v he_o nor_o can_v the_o nation_n have_v any_o security_n by_o law_n either_o for_o what_o be_v do_v or_o for_o what_o may_v remain_v yet_o to_o be_v do_v but_o by_o act_n that_o be_v pass_v by_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_z man_n be_v to_o be_v pardon_v if_o they_o be_v uneasy_a till_o they_o have_v the_o utmost_a security_n that_o the_o constitution_n can_v give_v they_o and_o after_o all_o whosoever_o be_v the_o king_n for_o the_o time_n be_v he_o have_v the_o law_n so_o entire_o of_o his_o side_n that_o though_o during_o the_o present_a fermentation_n the_o force_n of_o this_o be_v not_o perceptible_a yet_o it_o be_v a_o cruelty_n not_o to_o

which_o be_v at_o first_o intend_v by_o it_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v only_o this_o that_o the_o king_n power_n can_v go_v so_o far_o as_o to_o support_v he_o in_o the_o do_n of_o any_o injustice_n or_o wrong_n to_o any_o according_a to_o that_o chapter_n in_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la by_o which_o all_o commission_n grant_v against_o law_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v null_n and_o void_a for_o this_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o that_o maxim_n but_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o carry_v this_o so_o far_o as_o that_o if_o king_n will_v strain_v their_o authority_n visible_o to_o

one_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o england_n since_o then_o two_o of_o our_o king_n edward_n the_o second_o and_o richard_n the_o second_o have_v be_v judge_v in_o parliament_n for_o their_o
