CluAl.P!illZHir OF HIS OIAMDCI. " My Lotds--This is a queßion of great impor tance to the whole kingdom, and 1 am content, for the better difcuffing it, to divide it into two parts, becaufe it has been Co done by Come of my brothers, though I Arnold have thought that if the King has the marriage of his grand-children, of necelfary con fequence he has their education too. " I will then confider, firll, whether the King has the care and approbation of the marriage of Prince Frederic and his other grandchildren, and whether of right it belongs to his Majelly, as King of this Realm or not ? " This fubjett, touching the power of a grandfa ther, may be treated of either as a public or a pri vate right. It has been treated of pretty much as a pri vate right by the two Judges that differ, and by the Counfel for the Prince of Wales, which I think is an trror in the foundation of their argument. For it ought manifealy to be treated as jrapubdcwil, fuch a right as our law books exprefs it to be quad dilation rofridirs fpreat, and that makes it the King's prero gative, and that is the King's inheritance, as King of this realm, which is too great a point to be governed by the narrow rules of private property. Now to treat this otherwife is injurious to the Pointe himfelf, and all his children. Our law books fay he is effeem ed as one neareft to the King. So it has been deter mined in full Parliament, in the cafe of the Prince of Wales in Henry Vl.'s time. And in his patent, which was made by authority of Parliament in 33 Henry VI. the introdultion of the patent is ref ipluat, qui re tell:time juris cenfour eadem perform ordifreter, digne pre svniastre &c. Co that in the eye of the law they arc to be reckoned but as one perfol. " It is, fur the fame reafon, that an Ad of Parlia ment which relates to the Prince, is a public law of which every body is to take notice, becaufe whatever concerns the Prince, concerns the King ; and what ever concerns tile King concerns every lubjett in Eng land. The ad, therefore, which relates to the Duchy of Cornwall, has been held to be a public law. Now, let us fee what is Paid in my Lord Coke's 8 Rep. called The Prime', Cafe. Speaking of the Prince, it is Paid--ermertifiat relies Regis it, et anifderr us per form ersasOf Rep. So lays Lord Hobart, who was the Prince's Chancellor, dog. Rila. 226. It is for the fame reafon that it was high treafbn by the common law of England (before any (Write) to compafs and imagine the death of the King's tildellt Con and heir, who is generally tirade Prince of Wales, though now born Dote of Cornwall (test it is not fp of a collateral heir to the Crown) and this offence is called trines bla Majefiatie—a Clime that hurts the Majefty of the King himfelf. It follows then, that as they are but one perfon in law, fo in poiit of law they are fuppofed ta have but one will in relation to the education, marriage and management of the grand children. And the Prince of Wales, in point of law, it fuppofed in every thing to concur. with his Majefty, which quite fidtrerts and deft:aye the dif tintlion in common perfons of grandfather, father and fon. Now the King as he is Paresis Paris, he is alfo Parent Nepotuw, parent of his grandchildren, as Lord Coke expounds the King's nephew to fignify his grandfon, alfo from the Latin repo, which figni fies both. So in the cafe of a Queen concert, (be is the first wife in the kingdom ; Flea, in the Saxon language, fignifying wife. And therefore by maths of excellence, it was the name for the King's wife, who, confider her in her private capacity, as the pri vate wife of a common fubjett, the cannot Cue or be Cued herfelf, nor can grant to or from her !nhand ; but then confider her in her public charatter and ca pacity as a (Ziieen, the can fue and be Cued by herfelf, and make grants to and from the King her Inifband, by her prerogative, and anciently the had a great many. Now, I think. in this cafe, much may be argued from the names and appellations of the children Oldie Royal larvae. In !lidos) , they are called the Children of England, and all of them born Princes and Princenes of England, before they had any title, and all of them Kings and Q2eens, u, porotria, and may one day reign over us. Selden calls them Heirs Apparent of England. and they are called fo in the Patliawient Roll.. This agrees with the moll early times in our kingdom ; for till,Henry the Firft's time they were diftinguilbed from all other perforie ' by calling both the eldeft and the :ell of the King's Eons arts Id Moro, and they had no other titles. Now Clito is a Latin word, which comes from the Greek word latita, which tignifies hoc&ou,--moll noble and famous. So the word .£ shekel:, u Edgar 'Ed w. hag, who was not the King's Con, but his great ne phew, from the Saxon word libel, ; which (hews that all the Royal Family were called by the fame name as the King's Eons ; and fo lets out the admira ble union of the Royal Family. "- The &Aron of the King is called Prince of Eng land, before any creation : fo it is in Scotland. Be fore the Union be was called Prince of Scotland; and In (Gays Mr. Seldens it is in other nations: as in France the Duke of Orleans, Regent of France, was called Petit Fits del Froare--Granafon of France, not Grandfon to the King. So Henrietta Maria, in the marriage articles with Charles the Firfi, was called Fide de France, daughter of France, and not danghter of the King. Having then made it appear I think clearly. that all the children and grand children of the Royal Family are public perfons and Princes of the nation, and the Prince of Wales himfelf one and the fame perfon with the King ; it follows manifellly as a jolt corollary and contequence, that the King, who has the executive power in him, is to have the care and command in the marriages of there children for the good of the whole nation. It is part of that original trod, which, by the Conllitution of our Go vernment, is repofed in the King for the feenrity of his people. And as this is a prerogative vetted in the crown in the reafon of the law and nature era monar chy, to in all ages the crown hat prattifed and been in ponefilan of this tight. Now in the point of mar riages, there are precedents from the timc of H. 111. down to this time. " In 18 H. 6. it was one of the articles of impeach mint of high trc.sion agair.R the Doke of - Suffolk attempting only to marry his fon to Margaret, the daughter and heir of the Duke of Somerfer, who had a right to the Crown alter the death of the King without iffy', although Ibe was not heir apparent. for thane was a Prince of Wales then living. When he Caine to his trial, he (Woo! deny but that It was !v. , ;rl I • an Renee. but haled 1 ike lot trie s for that fune of die Lords then prelent knell, that he imendedlo marry his fon to the' Earl of Warwick's daughter. And this is ilia the Rrunger, Iseeaufe this Lady war, in ward to him, ind fo be hada private right is her marriage. By an Aft of Parliament, 38 H. S. it is Slade high treafon to marry any of the Royal Family. It is thereby enatted, that if any perfon prelim to , marry any one of the King's children lawfully both, or otherwilk, of commonly reputed, or taken 1. r his children, or grandchildren, without the fpedal leare of the King, he limit be adjudged a traitor to the King and the realm ; and thereby it is made •high melon in the L.rey too, being againft the King and the realm, which thews clearly that the whole king dont is concerned. "And though this Aft is now repealed Ina crowd with other Mis to bring all treafons to the Randard of as Edward 111. yet it is impoMble the . Parlia ment mould make that high trealon which was no Crime at all before, and efpecially high trealbn in his own children ; nay, when it was !swilll before to marry any perfon of the Royal Family (if the doc trine we are taught be true) and each had a right to marry as they pleafed. And it is °bier-table here that the Parliament makes no difference whether the ti ther be living or not, nor takes any tare of that pa ternal right which is pretended. " In (been Mary's time, though this offence ceafed to be high treafon, yet it did not ceafe to be crime ; for in the year 5558, the King of Sweden fent a meffage tecretly to the Lady Elizabeth, the Q,eea's half-filler only, afterwards Queen Eliw beth. who was then at Hatfield, to propufe marriage to her. But (be rejeaed it with Warmth, for this tea fon, becaufe the propofal came not to her by the (queen's direetion. And upon an excufe made by the King of Sweden, that be fir(' made love ass goad& man of qualhy to pain her Confect, and then be would, as a King. addrefs hinslelf to the (teen is proper form, her anfwer was, the was to entertain no fuch propolitions Milers the tctimen fent them to her. Upon this the Qj2een fent Sir Thomas Pope to the Lady Elizabeth, to let her know the well approved of the anfwer the had made, and the Lady Eliw beth further declared, the would never fee the Ind feoger more. becaufe he had prefumed to come to her without the Qu een's leave. So that here is we foreign King arid — two jteens of Wand cooler& ring in the fame feotirnent, which teems Irotigly to argne, that it is the law of nations, at well as that prerogative of this Crown. " The neat inflance I (hail mention is the safe of Lady Arabella, and a law book to Comm it. and that Is the Coulstefs of Shrewlbury's cafe, i a Co.. i t in the loth year of King James the Firlt. Countefs of Shrew (bury was then in prifon, and feet for before the Council to Culver to a contempt of dangerous confequence, becaufe the refufed to an fwer when esamined about Lady Arabella's Night for marrying Mr. Seymour, (be being of the Royal Family; and there the Attorney and Solicitor Ge neral of the King charged it as a crime, that Lidy Arabella, being of the Blood Rol, bad married • Mr. Seymour, fecond lon el the Ea rl of Hertford, without the King's privity and content. Now it ceps pears Seymour was committed to the Tower for this offence, but efcaped; and that Lady Arabella was alto committed, and Ito efcaped, and was taken dy ing beyond tea before (he got over. " The fill crime charged on the Counters Was het abetting the flight of Lady Atabella, her niece, and the immediate crime was not anfwering in that cafe. Now as marrying without the King's leave was no crime, the could never hoe been accnfed for not an. fwering to her abetting the flight for Cu& a marri. age ; In that the marrying without leave was plainly charged a. a crime. They both were committed for A clime, and they both fled as for a crime, and it is admitted and taken fur granted to be a crime. And her contempt in not ailiweling in the cafe of mar riage in the Rnrai Family was alto refolved to be a crime ; and this was done by all the great Minifters of State, and by the Chancellor and two Chief Jutlices (Fleming and Lord Coke), and Chancellor of the Exchequar,and Duchy and Chief Baron, in the fifteenth year of King James I. and in the end (be was fined ten thoafand pounds and committed to the Tower. ."I'he next cafe I (hall mention is the marriage of the Princefi. of Modena and the Duke of York.— There was an addicts of the Houfe of Commons to the King to prevent this marriage. The King's anfwer is very remarkable. It is completed (laid the King) but it was with my content and autho. rity," and the Parliament acquiefced in that anfwer. Now this addrcfs was abfard if the King had no power to prevent it ; In that this amounts to the judgment and opinion r.f the King and Parliament,• that tbis right was in the Crown esclutive of his bro ther. So here is the King claiming this authority even againtt his own brother, and his private right, and the Pat liament confirming it. s' Then there is the marriage of the Princefa Mary, daughter of the Duke of York, to the Prince of Orange. This match was made entirely by the King's.confent, even without the knowledge of the Duke. her father, and at his liking and content. The King, (peaking to Sir William 'temple about this match lays, " It I am not deceived, the Prince of Orange is the honed, .1 man in the world ; there fore he (hall ha-e his wife, and you (ball go and tell my brother fn, and that it is a thing I am tefolved on." The Duke was chagrined a little, but Paid, " the King . Gull be obeyed." " Hem is a father acknowkdging the right to be, in the King to marry his own daughter, who was only a collateral relation to the King, and married again(' the father's will, as every one snows. I* In 1683 the match with the Prineefs Anne, the other claugliter nt the Duke of York, was made by the King in the time man n a, and both in& marry. ages were ellabhihed by a public declaration of his Majelly to the whole nation. *. And thus I bsg leave to conclude the intiancee of marriage, but with tin. remark, that happy it is for this nation that the King in the two is It intenneee had tl:is prerogative ; for had this pretended pater nal right then prevailed, the Englith nation had been fur ever undone, and our religion deaf oyed, and we had never feen the many and great bleffings we en joy and are likely to enjoy by this family fitting on the Throne of o:eat Britain.
