Fol. 8. For as a man is without a female consort, so to a King
without his supream councel an half-form'd steril thing] Our Au∣thor in these words, and the rest that follow, maintains a Paradox most dangerous to supream Authority, in making Parliaments so ne∣cessary to all Acts of State, as if Kings could do nothing without their consent.
Answer. I hope no man of any ingenuity, will interpret me here or elsewhere, an enemy to Monarchy; or doth so much as question but that my Politique Descondants imply Statute-laws, which I am of opinion, no King of England hath power to make without common consent in Parliament.
