Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell´s Letters Ans Speeches, Vol. 5 of 5: With Elucidations I confess I have two things in view. The first is, To return some answer to what was so well and ably said the other day on behalf of the Parliament´s putting that Title in the Instrument of Settlement. [This is the First thing; what the Second is, does not yet for a long while appear.] I hope it will not be expected I should answer everything that was then said: because I suppose the main things that were spoken were arguments from ancient Constitutions and Settlements by the Laws; in which I am sure I could never be well skilled, - and therefore must the more ask pardon for what I have already transgressed ´in speaking of such matters,´ or shall now transgress, through my ignorance of them, in my ´present´ answer to you. Your arguments, which I say were chiefly upon the Law, seem to carry with them a great deal of necessary conclusiveness, to inforce that one thing of Kingship. And if your arguments come upon me to inforce upon me the ground of Necessity, - why, then, I have no room to answer: for what must be must be! And therefore I did reckon it much of my business to consider whether there were such a necessity, or would arise such a necessity, from those arguments. - It was said: "Kingship is not a Title, but an Office, so interwoven with the fundamental Laws of this Nation, that they cannot, or cannot well, be executed and exercised without ´it,´ - partly, if I may say so, upon a supposed ignorance which the Law hath of any other Title. It knows no other; neither doth any know another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
