Ch. Logical High Fliers
§. King can do no wrong
3
Thus much This restraint, under the pressure of financial necessity,
it became possible to induce engage the Monarch to endure: of more
than this the nature of the case admitted not the possibility.
In consideration of the impunity to himself the Monarch
In an an Impunity for himself was left with
submitted to have it laid down as law, that it should
not go extend beyond himself — that it should not be extended
to any person whom he should have employed in the
character of an instrument.
Accordingly in this its second sense, the maxim
received its application in the person of Lord Strafford.
In the case person of his unfortunate master Charles the first, the maxim
taken in its last mentioned sense was violated.
The establishment of it the maxim in that sense in which it
withheld impunity from the King's instruments was no
small point gained. Thus an institution sufficed of itself
to distinguish to its advantage the English from all other
Monarchies.
Yet how far from adequate it was to any such
purpose as political security is sufficiently manifest. Let
the King's measures be ever so hostile to the people, what so scarcely
ever while things the existence is mentioned as though parliament continued
what it was — and its existence at all times so precarious
never could a King find any difficulty in obtaining the
requisite instruments. No such difficulty was experienced
by James the 2d.
