We say the King is Supreme and head of Kingdom severally and jointly considered, Dr. Ferne indeed tells us, that the two Houses of Parliament are in a sort Co-ordinate with his Majesty, to some act or exercise of the Supreme power, that is to making laws, by yielding their consent. And if they be Co-ordinate in that act of Supremacy, Paraeus and others will tell him that the Nomothetic part of Supremacy is the highest. We acknowledge the King our Supreme to defend us; But not to defend our selves where cause requires, gives a supra-Supremacy unto him.1
