The Parliament hath declared the King to be in no condition to govern: but this must not be interpreted rigidly, and without distincti∣on; for if the King with his sword drawn in his hand, and pursuing the Parliament and their adherents as Rebels, be not fit for all Acts of Government, yet 'tis not hereby insinuated that he is di∣vested of the habit or right of governing: If he be unqualified now, he is not unqualified for the future; if he may not doe things destructive to the Parliament, he is not barred from returning to the Parliament, or doing justice to the Parliament. This is a fri∣volous cavil, and subturfuge.
