his pretensions may bear a very favourable construction. Or, allowing them to be merely pious frauds, we need not be surprised, that the same stratagem which was practised by Minos, Numa, and the most celebrated legislators of antiquity, should now, in these restless and inquisitive times, be employed by the King of England. Subjects are not raised above that quality, though assembled in parliament. The same humble respect and deference is still due to their prince. Though he indulges them in the privilege of laying before him their domestic grievances, with winch they are supposed to be best acquainted, this warrants not their bold intrusion into every province of government. And, to all judicious examiners, it must appear, “That the lines of duty are as much transgressed by a more independent and less respectful exercise of ac knowledged powers, as by the usurpation of such as are new and unusual.” The lovers of liberty, throughout the nation, reasoned after a different manner. It is in vain, said they, that the king traces up the English government to its first origin, in order to represent the privileges of parliament as de pendent and precarious : prescription, and the practice of so many ages, must, long ere this time, have given a sanc tion to these assemblies, even though they had been de rived from an origin no more dignified than that which he assigns them. If the written records of the English nation, as asserted, represent parliaments to have arisen from the consent of monarchs, the principle of human nature, when we trace government a step higher, must show us that monarchs themselves owe all their authority to the voluntary submission of the people. But, in fact, no age can be shown, when the English government was altogether an unmixed monarchy: and, if the privileges of the nation have, at any period, been overpowered by violent irruptions of foreign force or domestic usurpation; the generous spirit of the people has ever seized tne first opportunity of re-establishing the ancient government and constitution. Though in the style of the laws, and in the usual forms of administration, royal authority may be re presented as sacred and supreme; whatever is essential to the exercise of sovereign and legislative power must still be regarded equally divine and inviolable. Or, if any distinction be made in this respect, the preference is surely due to those natural councils, by whose interpo sition the exorbitancies of tyrannical power are restrained, and that sacred liberty is preserved, which heroic spirits, in all ages, have deemed more precious than life itself. Nor is it sufficient to say, that the mild and equitable ad ministration of James affords little occasion, or no occa sion, of complaint. How moderate soever the exercise of his prerogative, how exact soever his observance of the laws and constitution; “ If he founds his authority on arbitrary and dangerous principles, it is requisite to watch him with the same care, and to oppose him with the same vigour, as if he had indulged himself in all the excesses of cruelty and tyranny.” Amidst these disputes, the wise and moderate in the nation endeavoured to preserve, as much as possible, an equitable neutrality between the opposite parties; and the more they reflected on the course of public affairs, the greater difficulty they found in fixing just sentiments with regard to them. On the one hand, they regarded the very rise of parties as a happy prognostic of the establishment of liberty; nor could they ever expect to enjoy, in a mixed government, so invaluable a blessing without suffering that inconvenience, which, in such governments, has ever attended it. But when they considered, on the other hand, the necessary aims and pursuits of both parties, they were struck with apprehension of the consequences, and could discover no feasible plan of accommodation between them. From long practice, the crown was now possessed of so exorbitant a prerogative, that it was not sufficient for liberty to remain on the defensive, or endea vour to secure the little ground which was left her: it was become necessary to carry on an offensive war, and to circumscribe, within more narrow, as well as more exact bounds, the authority of the sovereign. Upon such pro vocation^ it could not but happen, that the prince, how ever just and moderate, would endeavour to repress his opponents; and, as he stood upon the very brink of arbi trary power, it was to be feared that he would, hastily and unknowingly, pass those limits, which were not precisely marked by the constitution. The turbulent government of England, ever fluctuating between privilege and prero gative, would afford a variety of precedents, which might be pleaded on both sides. In such delicate questions, the people must be divided: the arms of the state were still in their hands: a civil war must ensue; a civil war where no party or both parties would justly bear the blame, and where the good and virtuous would scarcely know what vows to form; were it not that liberty, so necessary to the perfection of human society, would be sufficient to bias their affections towards the sides of its defenders. CHAP. XLIX. Negociations with regard to the marriage and the palatinate—Character ot Buckingham—Prince’s journey to Spain—Marriage treaty broken — A parliament—Return ot Bristol—Rupture with Spain—Treaty with France—Mansfeldt’s expedition—Death of the king—His character. To wrest the palatinate from the hands of A D the emperor and the Duke of Bavaria, must ' ' ' always have been regarded as a difficult task for the ?ower of England, conducted by so unwarlike a prince as ames : it was plainly impossible, while the breach sub sisted between him and the Commons. The N n . king’s negociations, therefore, had they been wul 01 resand to managed with ever so great dexterity, must the marriage and now carry less weight with them; and it ie p *‘ d ,nate- was easy to elude all his applications. When Lord Digby, his ambassador to the emperor, had desired a cessation of hostilities, he was referred to the Duke of Bavaria, who commanded the Austrian armies. The Duke of Bavaria told him that it was entirely superfluous to form any treaty for that purpose. Hostilities are already ceased, said he; and I doubt not but I shall be able to pre vent their revival by keeping firm possession of the palati nate, till a final agreement shall be concluded between the contending parties* Notwithstanding this insult, James endeavourea to resume with the emperor a treaty of ac commodation ; and he opened the negociations at Brus sels, under the mediation of Archduke Albert; and after his death, which happened about this time, under that of the Infanta: when the conferences were entered upon, it was found, that the powers of these princes to determine in the controversy were not sufficient or satisfactory Schwartzenbourg, the imperial minister, was expected at London; and it was hoped that he would bring more ample authority: his commission referred entirely to the negociation at Brussels. It was not difficult for the king to perceive, that his applications were neglected by the emperor : but as he haa no choice of any other expedient, and it seemed the interest of his son-in-law to keep alive his pretensions, he was still content to follow Ferdinand through all his shifts and evasions. Nor was he entirely discouraged, even when the imperial diet at Ratisbon, by the influence, or rather authority, of the emperor, though contrary to the protestation of Saxony, and of all the pro testant princes and cities, had transferred the electoral dig nity from the palatine to the Duke of Bavaria. Meanwhile the efforts made by Frederic, for the reco very of his dominions, were vigorous. Three armies were levied in Germany by his authority, under three com manders, Duke Christian of Brunswick, the Prince of Baden-Dourlach, and Count Mansfeldt. The two former generals were defeated by Count Tilly and the impe rialists : the third, though much inferior in force to nis enemies, still maintained the war; but with no equal sup plies of money either from the palatine or the King of England. It was chiefly by pillage and free quarters in the palatinate, that he subsisted his army. As the Aus trians were regularly paid, they were kept in more exact discipline; and James justly became apprehensive, lest Franklyn, p. 57. Rush worth, vol. i. p. 33,
