           we
           request

           which
           two
           wayes
           he
           abandons
           :
           First
           ,
           in
           taking
           the
           Lawes
           made
           in
           the
           sense
           of
           his
           owne
           judgement
           .
           Secondly
           ,
           in
           opposing
           all
           Lawes
           to
           be
           made
           ,
           except
           his
           
             Vote
          
           must
           be
           accepted
           for
           more
           than
           it
           is
           .
           And
           we
           may
           admire
           seeing
           his
           consent
           is
           necessary
           ,
           that
           his
           dissent
           is
           more
           than
           necessary
           .
           His
           consent
           to
           the
           making
           of
           a
           Law
           is
           necessary
           ,
           and
           if
           it
           make
           it
           not
           for
           his
           purpose
           ,
           he
           hath
           another
           helpe
           that
           it
           shall
           not
           be
           made
           at
           all
           ,
           and
           so
           whatsoever
           Law
           displeaseth
           him
           ,
           shall
           never
           be
           ;
           and
           consequently
           all
           Lawes
           depend
           absolutely
           upon
           the
           King
           ,
           and
           when
           we
           say
           the
           Legislative
           power
           is
           in
           the

           we
           doe
           but
           mock
           the

           for
           him

           his
           due
           right
           ,
           which
           is
           the
           way
           to
           make
           him
           the
           most

           as
           
             David
          
           was
           ;
           and
           the
           other
           is
           to
           make
           him
           like
           
             Saul
             ,
          
           a
           Tyrant

           He
           meddles
           no
           further
           with

           good
           for
           him

           but
           onely
           in
           this
           ,
           That
           the
           beginning
           of
           his

           at
           the
           first
           reading
           I
           thought
           he

           to

           but
           I
           deal
           plainly
           (
           as
           my
           title

           is
           our

           case
           .
           The
           Parliament
           would
           secure
           the

           of
           the
           King
           ,
           and
           yet
           maintain
           his
           Lawes
           which
           good
           intention
           of
           theirs
           if
           he
           cannot
           see
           it
           ,
           they
           must
           sorrow
           for
           him
           ,
           but
           not
           sacrifice
           the
           whole
           Kingdom
           to
           his
           will

           It
           is
           a
           wholsom
           Maxime
           in
           the

           a

           Aphorism

           A

           It

           but
           he
           counts
           it
           most
           ignoble
           to

           gives
           way
           to
           the

           It
           were
           injustice

           Votes

           Now
           I

           There
           is

           beg
           another
           consideration
           of
           his
           Majesty
           to
           think
           on
           the
           Parliament
           and
           him●elf
           ,
           what
           arguments
           they
           be
           .
           The
           Parliament
           is
           Integrum
           ,
           the
           whole
           entire
           body
           of
           the
           Kingdom
           representative
           :
           and
           it
           is
           most
           lively
           in
           the
           Commons
           ,
           of
           which
           the
           King
           being
           no
           part
           yet
           should
           love
           it
           as
           his
           own
           Body
           .
        
         
           The
           Lords
           are
           a
           part
           too
           of
           the
           Parliament
           ;
           and
           I
           would
           not
           be
           so
           nice
           as
           some
           are
           ,
           to
           say
           the
           Representative
           body
           is
           onely
           of
           the
           people
           ,
           and
           not
           at
           all
           of
           the
           King
           and
           Lords
           ,
           as
           if
           the
           counsell
           were
           more
           vulgar
           and
           base
           than
           great
           and
           honourable
           ,
           as
           many
           take
           occasion
           to
           reproach
           it
           ;
           but
           ill
           tongues
           in
           time
           may
           be
           taught
           better
           language
           :
           I
           shall
           think
           of
           the
           Parliament
           in
           the
           parts
           ,
           and
           they
           make
           but
           one
           whole
           body
           .
           Now
           we
           have
           a
           Rule
           ,
           That
           Integrum
           in
           majus
           membris
           ,
           totum
           partibus
           .
           Hereupon
           is
           that
           rule
           of
           the
           King
           and
           his
           Kingdom
           ,
           That
           the
           King
           is
           major
           singulis
           ,
           minor
           universis
           ,
           and
           therefore
           the
           supremacy
           of
           the
           King
           ,
           is
           not
           above
           the
           supremacy
           of
           the
           Parliament
           :
           What
           then
           have
           we
           two
           supremacies
           ,
           and
           one
           above
           another
           ?
           I
           answer
           ,
           we
           have
           no
           supreme
           King
           but
           one
           ,
           neither
           have
           we
           any
           supreme
           Councell
           but
           one
           ;
           and
           as
           his
           Majesty
           hath
           no
           subject
           above
           him
           ,
           so
           let
           him
           suffer
           no
           Councell
           to
           be
           above
           this
           ,
           or
           take
           counsell
           from
           any
           other
           .
           Secondly
           ,
           let
           him
           think
           himself
           to
           be
           lesse
           than
           his
           whole
           Councell
           ,
           and
           that
           his
           subjection
           unto
           it
           ,
           is
           not
           to
           be
           the
           subject
           of
           his
           subjects
           ,
           but
           a
           servant
           with
           them
           for
           our
           good
           :
           It
           is
           no
           ill
           still
           that
           God
           gives
           him
           to
           be
           his
           Minister
           for
           good
           .
           Thirdly
           ,
           the
           falling
           away
           of
           the
           parts
           of
           the
           Parliament
           ,
           as
           long
           as
           the
           whole
           is
           not
           dissolved
           ,
           still
           it
           retains
           the
           name
           and
           nature
           of
           the
           whole
           ,
           and
           therefore
           the
           persons
           removed
           have
           left
           their
           power
           in
           the
           whole
           ,
           and
           we
           are
           obliged
           to
           maintain
           that
           ,
           though
           the
           desertors
           of
           it
           perish
           ;
           I
           except
           none
           but
           your
           Majesty
           ,
           and
           that
           not
           in
           flattery
           ,
           but
           good
           reason
           ,
           as
           I
           shall
           shew
           before
           I
           leave
           my
           Discourse
           of
           the
           present
           Affaires
           .
           Consider
           the
           parts
           one
           with
           another
           ,
           as
           the
           King
           with
           the
           Lords
           and
           Commons
           ,
           and
           them
           as
           Subjects
           ,
           and
           I
           must
           say
           Rex
           est
           Major
           singulis
           subditis
           :
           but
           put
           them
           into
           a
           Body
           that
           may
           truly
           be
           called
           a
           Parliament
           ,
           though
           many
           parts
           depart
           ,
           yet
           as
           long
           as
           the
           Body
           is
           undissolved
           we
           must
           hold
           it
           for
           our
           greatest
           Counsell
           ,
           follow
           the
           directions
           of
           it
           ;
           which
           to
           kill
           their
           King
           they
           have
           to
           ,
           not
           ever
           will
           consent
           unto
           but
           to
           kill
           them
           that
           would
           destroy
           all
           ,
           and
           have
           begun
           to
           do
           it
           :
           I
           hope
           he
           that
           loves
           his
           King
           ,
           his
           Parliament
           ,
           himself
           ,
           will
           not
           delay
           to
           be
           valiant
           to
           the
           death
           .
