A89520	An argument or, debate in law: of the great question concerning the militia; as it is now settled by ordinance of both the Houses of Parliament. By which, it is endeavoured, to prove the legalitie of it, and to make it warrantable by the fundamentall laws of the land. In which, answer is also given to all objections that do arise, either directly, or collaterally concerning the same. All which is referred to the judicious reader. by J.M. C.L.	Marsh, John, 1612-1657.; Milton, John, 1608-1674, attributed name.	1642 (1642)	Wing M575; Thomason E119_13; ESTC R18112	46,929	48

sunt_fw-la all_o those_o thing_n which_o conduce_v to_o the_o protect_a and_o defend_v of_o his_o subject_n from_o any_o foreign_a invasion_n or_o domestic_a danger_n or_o otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o possible_o maintain_v peace_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o bracton_n and_o as_o by_o his_o oath_n he_o be_v bind_v the_o king_n by_o the_o law_n have_v this_o prerogative_n allow_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o only_o may_v proclaim_v war_n and_o he_o only_o can_v establish_v peace_n among_o his_o people_n as_o the_o 7._o rep._n be_v 25._o 7._o rep._n foe_o 25._o why_o then_o i_o argue_v thus_o it_o be_v a_o great_a prerogative_n to_o have_v power_n to_o proclaim_v war_n than_o it_o be_v to_o have_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o maintain_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v conceive_v that_o the_o law_n that_o will_v allow_v the_o king_n the_o great_a power_n will_v deny_v he_o the_o less_o for_o qui_fw-la majora_fw-la concedit_fw-la minora_fw-la non_fw-la

war_n be_v absurd_a and_o the_o law_n will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o absurdity_n wherefore_o i_o conceive_v for_o these_o reason_n also_o that_o the_o king_n by_o the_o law_n have_v likewise_o this_o prerogative_n of_o the_o sole_a order_n and_o dispose_n of_o the_o militia_n of_o the_o kingdom_n now_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n i_o shall_v parallel_v this_o case_n to_o one_o case_n only_o in_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v to_o mitten_n case_n in_o the_o 4._o rep._n where_o the_o case_n be_v thus_o cas●_n 4._o rep._n foe_o 3●…_n mitten_n cas●_n queen_n elizabeth_n by_o her_o letter_n

which_o be_v but_o thus_o whether_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n the_o kingdom_n be_v in_o imminent_a danger_n and_o the_o king_n refuse_v to_o put_v it_o into_o a_o posture_n of_o defence_n may_v by_o their_o ordinance_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o king_n settle_v the_o militia_n and_o put_v the_o kingdom_n into_o a_o posture_n of_o defence_n or_o not_o and_o i_o do_v conceive_v

that_o they_o be_v not_o make_v by_o one_o or_o a_o hundred_o only_a of_o sage_a judicious_a man_n but_o by_o more_o than_o three_o hundred_o of_o choose_a man_n by_o such_o a_o number_n as_o in_o

those_o very_a obloquy_n and_o dishonourable_a detraction_n which_o be_v coin_a for_o his_o honourable_a assembly_n of_o parliament_n for_o as_o all_o our_o book_n agree_v the_o parliament_n be_v as_o

of_o parliament_n consist_v of_o three_o part_n viz._n of_o the_o king_n as_o the_o chief_a head_n and_o of_o the_o lord_n the_o chief_a and_o principal_a member_n of_o the_o body_n and_o of_o the_o commons_o knight_n citizens_z and_o burgess_n the_o inferior_a member_n and_o these_o make_v the_o body_n of_o the_o parliament_n now_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o that_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o make_v but_o one_o body_n and_o that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o head_n of_o this_o body_n as_o in_o truth_n the_o law_n be_v than_o it_o will_v thus_o in_o reason_n follow_v that_o no_o more_o than_o you_o can_v divide_v the_o head_n from_o the_o natural_a body_n and_o yet_o preserve_v the_o body_n alive_a can_v you_o divide_v the_o king_n from_o the_o parliament_n and_o yet_o have_v the_o parliament_n continue_v as_o in_o truth_n it_o do_v and_o i_o hope_v that_o there_o be_v none_o so_o void_a of_o reason_n as_o to_o think_v that_o the_o king_n divide_v of_o himself_o from_o his_o

who_o dare_v not_o bring_v their_o action_n to_o the_o testae_fw-la will_v have_v it_o so_o now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o unhappy_a division_n the_o parliament_n do_v virtual_o and_o actual_o continue_v which_o god_n defend_v it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o for_o then_o parliament_n and_o no_o parliament_n will_v be_v all_o one_o then_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o king_n who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o this_o great_a body_n be_v not_o divide_v in_o law_n though_o he_o be_v in_o distance_n for_o if_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o body_n will_v be_v destroy_v for_o that_o a_o body_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o can_v subsist_v without_o a_o head_n and_o it_o must_v likewise_o follow_v that_o they_o usurp_v no_o honour_n or_o power_n to_o themselves_o more_o than_o by_o the_o law_n be_v due_a to_o style_v themselves_o the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o imputation_n or_o dishonourable_a invective_n thing_n

but_o to_o this_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o the_o king_n likewise_o in_o judgement_n of_o law_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n and_o therefore_o he_o notwithstanding_o this_o reason_n may_v be_v as_o proper_a a_o judge_n of_o the_o imminent_a danger_n as_o any_o one_o and_o upon_o this_o ground_n his_o judgement_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v receive_v then_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o yea_o of_o the_o parliament_n itself_o &_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o imminent_a danger_n what_o then_o mean_v this_o great_a contention_n about_o the_o militia_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a the_o rule_n of_o law_n likewise_o be_v that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v for_o that_o it_o be_v presume_v that_o what_o the_o king_n do_v he_o do_v upon_o the_o advice_n &_o seducement_n of_o evil_a counsellor_n who_o with_o a_o spetious_a show_n pretend_v nothing_o more_o than_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n whereas_o in_o truth_n they_o intend_v nothing_o less_o and_o have_v it_o not_o be_v frequent_a for_o king_n seduce_v by_o wicked_a and_o malignant_a counsellor_n to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o themselves_o and_o a_o great_a gravamen_fw-la and_o prejudice_n to_o the_o public_a and_o if_o so_o my_o conclusion_n be_v that_o i_o will_v as_o willing_a a_o man_n shall_v do_v i_o injury_n upon_o his_o own_o principle_n as_o by_o the_o advice_n of_o other_o for_o though_o happy_o the_o wrong_n may_v not_o be_v so_o great_a as_o to_o himself_o yet_o the_o damage_n be_v all_o

what_o more_o plain_a i_o may_v instance_n in_o many_o thing_n but_o i_o shall_v instance_n in_o only_a one_o or_o two_o and_o here_o i_o appeal_v to_o all_o the_o world_n whether_o his_o withdraw_n
