primative_a king_n who_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n the_o second_o be_v whether_o or_o not_o god_n be_v no_o more_o author_n of_o royal_a power_n than_o of_o aristocratical_a or_o democratical_a of_o supreme_a than_o subordinate_a of_o usurp_a and_o not_o just_a than_o of_o just_a government_n and_o regal_a in_o which_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o by_o god_n institution_n regal_a be_v grace_v and_o authorise_v above_o other_o that_o aristocracy_n democracy_n and_o monarchy_n be_v not_o species_n univocae_fw-la regiminis_fw-la sed_fw-la
