The king is not forced to do justice.
Rex est lex vivens. Rex est pater patriæ.
The king is a living law; the king is the father of his country.
Rex est mista persona.
The king is a mixed character.
Rex est pater patriæ.
The king is the father of his country.
Rex ipse non debet esse sub homine, sed sub Deo et lege, quia lex facit regem: attribuat igitur rex, lege quod lex attribuit ei, viz. dominationem et imperium. Non est enim Rex ubi dominatur voluntas et non lex.
The king himself ought not to be under man, but under God and the law; because the law makes the king, therefore let the king give lawfully what the law hath given to him, viz. dominion and authority; for it is not the will of the king that rules, but the law.
Rex lege cadere non potest.
