2. I did believe that the Legislative Power was by the Constitution of this Kingdom, in the King and Parliament, and not in the King alone This I believed because the words of the Laws say that they are made by the Consent and Authority of the Parliament; And the King granted it in his Answer to the 19 Propositions (in sense.) And not only Hooker and Bilson, but all the old Bishops and the old Parliaments, Judges and Lawyers commonly held it: And I was not wiser in Law than all they I know few but Bishop Morley that deny that the Parliament have part in the power of Legislation: And even he granteth that they are Authors of the matter, to which the King puts the form: And so he makes the Controversy like that of Aristotle and Galen, about Generation, whether the form be only à semine ma•is vel utriusque: As if the very Matter cum dispositione receptiva were not an Essential constitutive part.
