The fourth part of The soveraigne povver of parliaments and kingdomes. : Wherein the Parliaments right and interest in ordering the militia, forts, ships, magazins, and great offices of the realme, is manifested by some fresh records in way of supplement: the two Houses imposition of moderate taxes and contributions on the people in cases of extremity, without the Kings assent, (when wilfully denyed) for the necessary defence and preservation of the kingdome; and their imprisoning, confining of malignant dangerous persons in times of publicke danger, for the common safety; are vindicated from all calumnies, and proved just. Together with an appendix; manifesting by sundry histories and foraine authorities, that in the ancient kingdome of Rome; the Roman, Greeke, German empires; the old present Graecian, Indian, Ægyptian, French, Spanish, Gothish, Italian, Hungarian, Polonian, Bohemian, Danish, Swedish, Scottish, with other Foraine Kingdomes; yea in the Kingdomes of Judah, Israel, and of her Gentile royalties, mentioned in scripture the supreame soveraigne power resided not in the emperours, or kings themselves, but in the whole kingdome, senate, parliament, state, people, who had not onely authority to restraine, resist, yea call their Emperours, and Kings to an account, but likewise when they saw just cause to censure, suspend, deprive them from their tyranny, vices, mis-government and sometimes capitally to proceed against them. With a briefe answer to the contrary objections; and tenne materiall observations confirming all the premises / By William Prynne, utter-barrester, of Lincolnes Inne.
