upon_o the_o king_n as_o he_o may_v upon_o his_o fellow_n subject_n much_o loss_n may_v he_o enter-upon_a the_o king_n by_o force_n i_o do_v not_o now_o enter_v upon_o that_o question_n how_o far_o those_o that_o be_v by_o and_o under_o the_o king_n entrust_v with_o public_a power_n and_o office_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o libertye_n of_o the_o subject_a may_v in_o case_n use_v force_n for_o that_o end_n and_o the_o people_n under_o they_o at_o their_o call_n and_o command_n this_o be_v another_o question_n and_o not_o our_o case_n and_o those_o that_o desire_v satisfaction_n may_v consult_v those_o that_o have_v write_v weighty_o upon_o that_o subject_a it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o defend_v the_o law_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a this_o some_o think_v some_o may_v do_v and_o this_o defend_v the_o government_n but_o it_o be_v another_o thing_n to_o subvert_v &_o change_v &_o take_v possession_n of_o the_o government_n itself_o this_o none_o may_v do_v and_o though_o some_o may_v say_v but_o the_o government_n be_v illegal_o take_v into_o the_o king_n hand_n and_o it_o be_v one_o of_o our_o great_a liberty_n i_o shall_v say_v something_o to_o that_o by_o and_o by_o therefore_o to_o let_v that_o question_n pass_v untouched_a i_o say_v that_o the_o subject_n may_v not_o enter_v upon_o the_o king_n with_o force_n now_o you_o can_v enter_v upon_o the_o king_n in_o point_n of_o government_n but_o it_o be_v with_o force_n for_o all_o power_n of_o government_n imply_v force_v antecedent_n for_o the_o set_n of_o it_o up_o and_o concomitant_a for_o the_o support_n and_o defence_n of_o it_o and_o partly_o because_o you_o can_v do_v it_o in_o this_o way_n of_o election_n without_o multitude_n which_o be_v force_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o law_n aswell_o as_o manus_fw-la armatae_fw-la or_o force_v of_o arm_n so_o that_o if_o you_o do_v it_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v do_v with_o force_n now_o to_o enter_v upon_o the_o king_n in_o point_n of_o government_n with_o force_n what_o be_v it_o but_o to_o invade_v the_o crown_n and_o king_n do_v account_v their_o head_n &_o crown_n to_o be_v very_o near_o each_o to_o other_o and_o that_o he_o that_o attempt_v against_o the_o one_o attempt_n against_o the_o other_o this_o affair_n therefore_o do_v touch_v the_o crown_n and_o near_o concern_v your_o allegiance_n and_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v well_o consider_v for_o it_o be_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o those_o that_o shall_v choose_v and_o be_v choose_v and_o accept_v dangerous_a to_o all_o that_o shall_v any_o way_n contrive_v counsel_n abett_n or_o conceal_v though_o here_o be_v hardly_o room_n for_o conceal_v a_o city_n set_v on_o a_o hill_n can_v be_v hide_v and_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v do_v in_o a_o corner_n it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o yourselves_o and_o posterity_n yea_o dangerous_a to_o we_o all_o and_o do_v require_v more_o skill_n in_o law_n and_o state_n affair_n than_o be_v very_o common_a among_o we_o to_o make_v the_o way_n plain_a to_o a_o safe_a proceed_n in_o it_o for_o i_o can_v find_v that_o the_o law_n do_v use_v any_o soft_a language_n concern_v such_o action_n than_o that_o of_o tumult_n insurrection_n rebellious_a riot_n sedition_n rebellion_n treason_n etc._n etc._n gentleman_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v be_v careful_a to_o keep_v at_o a_o due_a distance_n from_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v bitterness_n in_o the_o end_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o run_v too_o far_o and_o the_o work_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v make_v of_o such_o thing_n when_o they_o come_v to_o trial_n four_o you_o may_v here_o consider_v that_o the_o government_n be_v not_o take_v into_o the_o king_n hand_n without_o your_o own_o submission_n and_o some_o sort_n at_o least_o of_o consent_n whence_o possible_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o illegality_n in_o that_o proceed_n as_o some_o do_v imagine_v i_o be_v not_o personal_o acquaint_v with_o those_o transaction_n and_o therefore_o can_v undertake_v much_o in_o this_o but_o this_o i_o suppose_v will_v not_o be_v deny_v that_o if_o party_n be_v at_o law_n whether_o king_n and_o subject_a or_o subject_n and_o subject_a and_o instead_o of_o stand_v a_o trial_n they_o agree_v upon_o condition_n and_o the_o condition_n be_v perform_v and_o so_o the_o action_n be_v let_v fall_v this_o be_v not_o illegal_a and_o if_o afterward_o either_o party_n be_v sensible_a of_o inconveniency_n will_v it_o be_v fair_a and_o honest_a for_o he_o to_o say_v it_o be_v illegal_a &_o thereupon_o break_v his_o agreement_n the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o holy_a hill_n swear_v to_o his_o own_o hurt_n and_o change_v not_o you_o be_v at_o law_n with_o the_o king_n and_o its_o like_a you_o think_v it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a charge_n to_o maintain_v the_o action_n and_o it_o may_v go_v against_o you_o at_o last_o &_o you_o shall_v be_v annex_v to_o york_n and_o hereupon_o you_o submit_v to_o the_o king_n wisdom_n and_o pleasure_n beg_v that_o you_o may_v be_v annex_v to_o the_o bay_n the_o king_n perform_v this_o condition_n and_o let_v we_o fall_v his_o action_n demand_n the_o government_n and_o you_o yield_v it_o up_o to_o he_o if_o now_o you_o find_v it_o prejudicial_a you_o must_v lay_v your_o hand_n upon_o your_o mouth_n and_o not_o take_v it_o again_o by_o force_n we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o leave_v and_o take_v when_o we_o please_v five_o none_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o law_n to_o be_v judge_n in_o their_o own_o case_n no_o not_o the_o king_n himself_o but_o if_o you_o proceed_v in_o this_o manner_n you_o take_v upon_o you_o in_o your_o own_o case_n to_o judge_v the_o king_n to_o condemn_v and_o take_v possession_n which_o in_o reason_n will_v never_o be_v bear_v for_o prince_n be_v as_o tender_v of_o their_o prerogative_n as_o subject_n can_v be_v of_o their_o liberty_n but_o to_o abate_v the_o force_n of_o these_o consideration_n some_o say_v we_o hear_v there_o be_v no_o king_n regal_a power_n be_v extinct_a etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v it_o be_v no_o pleasant_a objection_n or_o subject_a to_o speak_v to_o but_o yet_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o present_a time_n seem_v to_o require_v a_o word_n or_o two_o to_o prevent_v these_o unwise_a and_o unwary_a speech_n which_o do_v not_o become_v subject_n therefore_o i_o say_v first_o that_o rumour_n be_v but_o a_o sandy_a foundation_n to_o ground_n such_o assertion_n or_o to_o change_v &_o build_v government_n upon_o we_o have_v yet_o nothing_o of_o record_n concern_v the_o king._n 2._o this_o do_v not_o help_v our_o case_n at_o all_o for_o if_o it_o be_v indeed_o so_o that_o the_o sceptre_n be_v depart_v you_o have_v then_o nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o patent_n it_o be_v only_o the_o king_n governor_n and_o company_n that_o have_v interest_n in_o the_o patent_n and_o the_o king_n grant_v it_o only_o for_o himself_o his_o heir_n and_o successor_n if_o there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o your_o patent_n and_o estate_n in_o it_o be_v expire_v without_o any_o more_o to_o do_v but_o 3_o lie_n the_o king_n be_v a_o royal_a body_n politic_a which_o have_v succession_n whereby_o the_o crown_n pass_v not_o only_o to_o heir_n by_o blood_n but_o to_o successor_n also_o in_o which_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o judgement_n of_o law_n the_o king_n never_o die_v there_o be_v therefore_o always_o a_o king._n but_o other_o say_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v there_o be_v no_o government_n the_o governor_n who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o it_o be_v imprison_v and_o have_v surrender_v his_o government_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a error_n and_o proceed_v from_o ignorance_n to_o think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o government_n &_o it_o contain_v so_o many_o inconvenience_n &_o mischief_n in_o it_o as_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o mention_v they_o so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o supreme_a power_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o government_n 2._o the_o governor_n be_v not_o the_o head_n of_o the_o government_n but_o the_o king._n and_o the_o government_n be_v not_o his_o propper_o and_o original_o but_o the_o king_n be_v the_o governor_n be_v but_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o king_n in_o the_o government_n which_o ministry_n it_o be_v say_v he_o have_v surrender_v to_o be_v secure_v and_o be_v dispose_v of_o by_o order_n that_o shall_v be_v receive_v from_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n it_o will_v not_o become_v we_o to_o prevent_v these_o order_n and_o dispose_v of_o the_o government_n otherwise_o ourselves_o but_o to_o acknowledge_v our_o subjection_n to_o that_o crown_n as_o our_o neighbour_n will_v do_v well_o to_o do_v 3._o the_o commission_n of_o the_o judge_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o several_a
