Rh of the Prince for the time being, muft agree to the making of Laws,

The King of England, neither by ; him(elfjor is Minifters, impofeth ¢ Tallages, or any other Burdens on his Subjects,or alter their Laws, or make new Laws,without Affent of the whole Kingdom in Parliament.

No Parliament, no Penny, hatha been always taken notice of as a‘ principal Foundation of this Go-. vernment, even by our Neighbour Princes and States who have in all Aces made their Approaches upon this Realm,and evermore valued us in Proportion to the Corref{ponden- ey they obferved between our Kings and their Parliaments. For (feeing the Power of every Prince is com- puted from his Treafure and Marti- al Men,and thofe again by the Love bf his People) they ‘well enough knew, that as long as a good Un- derftanding, was maintain’d there, our. Princes could never want the ‘Smews, either of the Purflé, or of valiant mens Arms.
