Abolished lastly), Relinquished in fact but tacitly if at all (for the point is
not worth arguing), if the power had been declared illegal, and abolished by
express words, it would not have been so disposed of without very sufficient
grounds. That over English subjects, in England or
any where else, the King should, [+] [+] by himself or by others. exercise y legislative power, without
the concurrence of Parliament, was repugnant to the
constitution — was irreconciliable repugnant to [at any rate to the spirit —

23 17 The we of Parliament to legislative power was not then settled nor since.
But, in since the day, in which the practice that originated,
the exitensive right of Parliament to legislative power,
was by no means far from being defined as now. Even within the territory
of England, in this and that and t'other pretext ground, the King
by his proclamations, would be legislating without Parliament,
and even in spite of Parliament. Whatever Parliament would
endure to see him do, suffer him to do without complaint this and more he was sure to do without
Parliament. Monopolise Ship money — dispensations of formal statutes, & even
levying money without account of Parliament. Even the The very existence
of Parliament was a matter of perpetual contingency.
At all times it depended upon the Kings pleasure whether there
should ever be another. And so long as he could
contrive to go on with existing powers, and upon existing
funds, he had every thing to lose and nothing to gain by
calling to his aid any such troublesome co-adjutors.

Admitting that in any one spot of ground, the property of belonging to &
having English owners, Englishmen and not subject to under the dominion of a foreign power,
the concurrence of the two other estates is necessary to legislation,
no reason can be given why on any principle of it should be less necessary
on any other spot so circumstanced. Certain non
