A59476	Shaftesbury, Anthony Ashley Cooper, Earl of, 1621-1683.	Notes taken in short-hand of a speech in the House of Lords on the debates of appointing a day for hearing Dr. Shirley's cause, Octob. 20, 1675	1679.0		.xml	application/xml	4976	112	52	In a word , if this Doctrine be true , our Magna Charta is of no force , our Laws are but rules amongst our selves during the Kings pleasure ; Monarchy if of Divine right cannot be bounded or limitted by humane Laws , nay what is more , cannot bind it self , and all our claimes of right by the Law , or the Constitution of the Government , all the Jurisdiction and priviledge of this House , all the Rights and Liberties of the House of Commons , all the Properties and Liberties of the people are to give way not only to the Interest , but the Will and Pleasure of the Crown , and the best and worthiest of men holding this Principle , must Vote to deliver up all we have , not only when reason of State , but when the pleasure of the King will have it so . Yet how future Princes may use this power , and how Judges may be made , not men of Ability or Integrity , men of Relation and dependance , who will do what they are commanded , and all mens Causes come to be judged and Estates disposed of as great men at Court please , is to be considered .	cache/A59476.xml	txt/A59476.txt
