A44581	The petition and argvment of Mr. Hotham, fellow of Peter-house in Cambridge, before the Committee for Reformation of the Universities, April 10, 1651 against the masters negative voice of that colledge, and for a remedy to be granted the colledge against the usurpations of Doctor Seaman the present master, agreeable to what was granted the colledge against the usurpations of Doctor Seaman the present master, agreeable to what was granted by Parliament to the city of London, an. Dom. 1648 for the better enabling them in case of need to act as a free body without their chief officers concurrence.	Hotham, Charles, 1615-1672?	1651 (1651)	Wing H2897; ESTC R26808	47,840	64

person_n to_o take_v the_o matter_n itself_o into_o your_o grave_a consideration_n i_o shall_v now_o whole_o apply_v myself_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n the_o petition_n be_v large_a but_o may_v

of_o the_o petition_n itself_o the_o motive_n be_v many_o and_o of_o great_a weight_n you_o have_v in_o they_o first_o a_o general_a proposition_n of_o those_o great_a mischief_n which_o the_o

and_o superior_a to_o that_o of_o the_o community_n it_o be_v both_o the_o true_a characteristical_a badge_n of_o slavery_n and_o the_o chief_a fomenter_n of_o jealousy_n and_o contention_n for_o wheresoever_o it_o be_v so_o there_o be_v always_o a_o particular_a interest_n of_o the_o govern_v power_n set_v up_o distinct_a from_o and_o most_o what_o contrary_a to_o that_o of_o the_o public_a than_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o destructive_a to_o the_o welfare_n of_o any_o community_n the_o truth_n of_o which_o maxim_n we_o have_v have_v a_o feel_a proof_n in_o the_o sad_a series_n of_o those_o evil_n which_o have_v late_o spring_v up_o in_o this_o nation_n from_o the_o claim_n and_o exercise_v of_o this_o power_n by_o the_o chief_a officer_n of_o england_n great_a corporation_n it_o be_v that_o which_o have_v like_o first_o to_o have_v plunge_v we_o into_o the_o depth_n of_o slavery_n and_o do_v afterward_o engage_v we_o in_o a_o bloody_a war_n the_o justice_n of_o which_o war_n can_v never_o be_v solid_o maintain_v by_o the_o asserter_n of_o a_o negative_a voice_n for_o my_o own_o part_n this_o be_v to_o i_o the_o great_a convince_a argument_n of_o the_o scot_n

declare_v this_o power_n in_o the_o king_n of_o a_o most_o dangerous_a and_o destructive_a nature_n to_o the_o weal_n public_a and_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o nation_n freedom_n and_o the_o army_n in_o particular_a when_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o attain_v to_o that_o wise_a and_o generous_a resolution_n of_o remove_v the_o kingly_a office_n as_o well_o as_o his_o person_n do_v in_o their_o grand_a

though_o but_o by_o election_n to_o succeed_v he_o shall_v before_o his_o admission_n disavow_v all_o claim_n to_o a_o negative_a voice_n 3._o you_o have_v present_v to_o your_o

society_n and_o if_o our_o head_n have_v behave_v himself_o with_o the_o like_a candour_n and_o moderation_n in_o his_o trust_n you_o have_v not_o i_o think_v be_v trouble_v with_o these_o tedious_a dispute_n at_o this_o day_n but_o our_o head_n though_o as_o you_o have_v hear_v deny_v a_o negative_a voice_n by_o our_o lawgiver_n will_v yet_o usurp_v it_o propound_v only_o what_o he_o please_v himself_o and_o after_o the_o vote_n past_a follow_v his_o own_o not_o the_o common_a prudence_n of_o the_o society_n as_o shall_v be_v ample_o prove_v if_o need_v be_v in_o its_o proper_a place_n beside_o we_o have_v in_o the_o general_a course_n of_o this_o man_n government_n observe_v nothing_o of_o a_o public_a spirit_n aim_v at_o the_o common_a good_a but_o rather_o a_o constant_a tenor_n

the_o cause_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o it_o but_o only_o to_o open_v your_o eye_n that_o you_o may_v see_v how_o this_o antichristian_a mystery_n of_o the_o negative_a voice_n begin_v its_o work_n betimes_o even_o near_o the_o apostolic_a day_n of_o reformation_n for_o to_o the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o statute_n as_o it_o stand_v i_o be_o not_o without_o a_o very_a satisfactory_a answer_n for_o it_o say_v not_o positive_o that_o all_o concession_n election_n etc._n etc._n shall_v be_v null_a which_o want_v the_o prefect_n consent_n but_o that_o in_o all_o election_n concession_n etc._n etc._n the_o prefect_n consent_n be_v necessary_o to_o be_v require_v now_o we_o know_v that_o that_o word_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o postulo_fw-la in_o latin_a and_o so_o imply_v rather_o that_o the_o prefect_n consent_n be_v to_o be_v require_v of_o he_o de_fw-fr jure_fw-la as_o a_o right_n then_o beg_v as_o a_o act_n of_o grace_n as_o if_o the_o society_n consent_v without_o

they_o be_v former_o in_o favour_n of_o prerogative_n may_v alone_o suffice_v but_o i_o shall_v add_v another_o of_o more_o convince_a evidence_n which_o be_v this_o that_o grant_v the_o intent_n of_o this_o statute_n be_v to_o make_v the_o master_n consent_n a_o necessary_a ingredient_n to_o the_o composition_n of_o each_o election_n or_o concession_n etc._n etc._n yet_o it_o absolve_v they_o

but_o that_o by_o refusal_n of_o such_o consent_n they_o incur_v the_o guilt_n of_o perjury_n and_o breach_n of_o trust_n or_o such_o other_o penalty_n as_o their_o founder_n providence_n have_v allot_v for_o the_o establishment_n of_o that_o law_n and_o therefore_o this_o obligation_n to_o consent_v remain_v still_o in_o full_a force_n suppose_v in_o the_o major_a part_n the_o prefect_n consent_v legal_o involve_v and_o include_v as_o to_o compare_v the_o great_a with_o our_o small_a controversy_n the_o king_n consent_n be_v always_o suppose_v to_o be_v legal_o include_v in_o the_o
