Object. 1 R. 2. no. 76. 2. pars, Petition for the City of London to have all owners of Lands to be rated with them in the danger of wars, not having Lands in Tenure to do it.

Answ. This doth make for us, that not only Merchants, but every man in the Lieu of Te∣nure to do it. Lord of St. Albanes saith of Hen∣ry the Seventh, that Kings may fall from their absolute power when they see cause, but not be compelled to do it. They say Supplies are called those things Sine qua non, the Kingdom may not be defended. And because there was a way in Parlia∣ment, therefore no other way? They say that it will not be affirmed, that the King hath the same power for an Offensive war, as for a Defensive war. I affirm nothing, nor defend. The Par∣liament is a great Body, and the Kingdom may be lost in the interim.
