when_o william_n the_o first_o send_v to_o herald_n to_o make_v good_a his_o promise_n herald_n answer_v that_o he_o be_v rightful_a king_n as_o be_v so_o by_o the_o consent_n and_o choice_n of_o the_o people_n as_o be_v report_v in_o cambden_n in_o his_o britannia_n thus_o as_o concerning_o the_o promise_n of_o king_n edw._n william_n be_v to_o understand_v that_o the_o realm_n of_o england_n can_v not_o be_v give_v by_o promise_n neither_o ought_v i_o to_o be_v tie_v to_o the_o say_a promise_n see_v the_o kingdom_n be_v fall_v to_o i_o by_o election_n and_o not_o inheritance_n and_o as_o for_o his_o own_o stipulation_n he_o say_v it_o be_v extort_a from_o he_o by_o force_n neither_o he_o if_o he_o can_v nor_o may_v if_o he_o will_v make_v it_o good_a see_v it_o be_v do_v without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n yea_o history_n tell_v we_o that_o when_o william_n the_o first_o have_v beat_v herald_n in_o the_o field_n the_o people_n still_o be_v in_o doubt_n who_o they_o shall_v choose_v and_o setup_n for_o their_o king_n for_o say_v culiel_n malmsburiens_fw-la edwin_n and_o morcard_n come_v to_o london_n and_o solicit_v the_o city_n that_o they_o will_v prefer_v one_o of_o they_o to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o noble_n will_v have_v choose_v edgar_n if_o the_o bishop_n will_v have_v stick_v to_o they_o but_o the_o english_a who_o then_o may_v have_v heal_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o kingdom_n while_o they_o will_v none_o of_o their_o own_o bring_v in_o a_o stranger_n so_o that_o though_o william_n the_o first_o have_v get_v the_o field_n yet_o be_v not_o he_o bring_v to_o the_o crown_n but_o with_o the_o consent_n and_o choice_n though_o much_o overpower_v and_o overawe_v of_o the_o people_n so_o say_v speed_n express_o consent_v thus_o get_v and_o all_o voice_n give_v for_o william_n he_o be_v crown_v king_n at_o westminster_n 3_o as_o the_o crown_n in_o those_o day_n be_v obtain_v by_o the_o consent_n and_o choice_n of_o the_o people_n so_o i_o say_v that_o even_o william_n the_o conqueror_n do_v not_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n without_o all_o condition_n for_o the_o kentish_a man_n will_v not_o receive_v he_o but_o upon_o condition_n which_o they_o propose_v thus_o most_o noble_a duke_n behold_v here_o the_o commons_o of_o kent_n be_v come_v forth_o conqueror_n to_o meet_v and_o receive_v you_o as_o their_o sovereign_n require_v your_o peace_n their_o own_o free_a condition_n or_o estate_n and_o their_o ancient_a law_n former_o use_v if_o these_o be_v deny_v they_o be_v here_o present_o to_o abide_v the_o verdict_n of_o battle_n full_o resolve_v rather_o to_o die_v then_o to_o depart_v with_o their_o law_n or_o to_o live_v servile_a in_o bondage_n which_o name_n and_o nature_n be_v and_o ever_o shall_v be_v strange_a unto_o we_o and_o not_o to_o be_v exdure_v the_o conqueror_n drive_v to_o these_o straits_n and_o loath_a to_o hazard_v all_o on_o so_o nice_a a_o point_n more_o wise_o then_o willing_o grant_v their_o desire_n and_o pledge_n on_o both_o part_n give_v for_o performance_n so_o say_v speed_n in_o his_o chronicle_n so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o even_o william_n the_o first_o come_v not_o to_o the_o full_a crown_n of_o england_n without_o all_o condition_n and_o therefore_o our_o king_n and_o prince_n plead_v their_o right_n from_o he_o can_v be_v king_n and_o prince_n without_o all_o condition_n i_o know_v dr._n f._n tell_v we_o that_o the_o king_n oath_n import_v no_o condition_n but_o be_v take_v for_o confirmation_n and_o strengthen_n of_o mutual_a duty_n whether_o that_o be_v true_a let_v any_o judge_n who_o read_v but_o these_o thing_n and_o indeed_o if_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v such_o absolute_a monarch_n as_o that_o no_o resistance_n may_v be_v make_v to_o their_o commandment_n for_o the_o take_n up_o of_o arm_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o country_n when_o enjoin_v by_o parliament_n than_o the_o subject_n and_o people_n of_o england_n must_v lose_v this_o power_n of_o self-defence_n for_o they_o once_o have_v it_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n have_v a_o power_n to_o defend_v themselves_o either_o by_o conquest_n as_o be_v by_o force_n spoil_v thereof_o or_o else_o they_o give_v it_o away_o by_o some_o indenture_n at_o the_o election_n of_o the_o prince_n for_o inheritance_n be_v but_o succession_n of_o election_n inheritance_n or_o immediate_a donation_n from_o god_n or_o else_o god_n have_v forbid_v this_o forcible_a resistance_n by_o scripture_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o this_o people_n be_v spoil_v thereof_o by_o conquest_n and_o be_v as_o a_o people_n meet_o conquer_v than_o any_o other_o sword_n that_o be_v long_a than_o the_o prince_n may_v fetch_v back_o that_o power_n again_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o this_o people_n give_v away_o this_o power_n by_o indenture_n at_o the_o first_o election_n of_o their_o prince_n then_o let_v man_n show_v we_o such_o indenture_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v forbid_v such_o a_o forcible_a resistance_n by_o rom._n 13._o 1_o 2_o 3._o or_o the_o like_a scripture_n than_o it_o must_v be_v affirm_v that_o the_o parliament_n be_v not_o the_o high_a power_n which_o dr_n ferne_n grant_v for_o if_o the_o parliament_n come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o those_o word_n high_a power_n than_o that_o scripture_n rom._n 13._o do_v not_o reach_v they_o but_o rather_o require_v other_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o they_o yea_o if_o by_o the_o high_a power_n be_v understand_v only_o the_o king_n than_o the_o two_o house_n may_v not_o make_v any_o forcible_a resistance_n against_o any_o petty_a constable_n that_o come_v in_o the_o k●_z authority_n to_o do_v violence_n to_o the_o two_o house_n sure_o therefore_o this_o and_o the_o like_a scripture_n be_v much_o abuse_v the_o meaning_n be_v only_o to_o command_v obedience_n to_o authority_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o tend_v to_o the_o encouragement_n of_o good_a and_o punishment_n of_o evil_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v such_o a_o power_n in_o the_o subject_n both_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n when_o the_o state_n or_o two_o house_n express_v it_o not_o withstand_v the_o expression_n of_o any_o one_o man_n to_o the_o contrary_a chap._n iii_o have_v show_v the_o nature_n of_o
