This is a grosse non sequitur, the Kings power is in himself; Ergo, it is not derived to, nor does reside virtually in the Par∣liament. For the light of the Sun remaines imbodied, and unex∣hausted in the Globe of the Sun, at the same time as it is diffused and displayed through all the body of the ••yre; and who sees not that the King without emptying himselfe, gives commissions daily of Oyer and Terminer to others, which yet he himselfe can nei∣ther frustrate nor clude? but for my part I conceive it is a great errour to inferre that the Parliament has onely the Kings power, because it has the Kings power in it: for it seemes to me, that the

Parliament does both sit and act by concurrent power, devolved both from the King and Kingdom; And this in some things is more obvi∣ous and apparent then in others. For by what power does the Par∣liament grant Subsidies to the King? if only by the power which the King gives, then the King may take Subsidies without any grant from the Parliament: and if it be so by a power which the people give to the Parliament; Then it will follow the Parliament has a power given both by King and Kingdome.
