The Original of Governments OF GOVERNMENTS there can be but Three kinds viz. One or More or All must have the Sovereign Power of a Nation If one then it is a Monarchy If more as an Assembly of Choice Persons then it is Aristocracy if All that is a General Assembly of the People then it is a Democracy And now in course we are first to speak of The Monarchical Government which as most resembling the Divinity and approaching nearest to Perfection being esteemed the most Excellent is of two sorts Regal and Political The first sort Monarchy Regal was begun by Nimrod who after the World began to increase got unto himself a Dominion over others and yet in Scripture he is not called a King but a Mighty Hunter before the Lord So Belus did subdue the Assyrians and Ninus the most part of Asia and so did the Romans usurp the Empire of the World And thus having set forth the beginning of the Regal Government of Kingdoms which Law Regal was no other thing but the Pleasure of the Prince as in the First of Kings you may read more at large We will now as being more for our purpose declare how Kingdoms of Political Government were first begun which we may term Monarchy Political St. Augustine in the 19th Book De Civitate Dei saith A● People is a Multitude of Men associated by the Consent of Law and Communion of Wealth And yet such a People without a Head is not worthy to be called 〈◊〉 Body as in Natural things the Head cut off is not called a Body but a Trunk Wherefore Aristotle in his Civil Philosophy saith Whensoever One is made of Many among the same One shall be the Ruler and the other shall be the Rule● And this Ruler thus raised and appointed in Kingdoms is called a King from the Saxon word Koning intimating Power and Knowledge wherewith every Sovereign ought especially to be Invested And thus of a Multitude of People ariseth a Kingdom which is a Body Mystical And in this Body Mystical or Political the Intent of the People like Blood in the Natural Body is the first lively thing that is Politick provision for the Utility and Wealth of the same People which is imparted to the Head and members of the same Body whereby it is Nourished and Maintained and by the Law which cometh from Ligando of Binding this Mystical Body is knit and preserv'd together and the Members and Parts thereof as the Natural Body by Sinews do every one retain their proper Functions And as the Head of a Natural Body cannot change his Sinews nor withhold from his Inferiour Members their peculiar Powers of Nourishments no more can a King which is the Head of the Body Politick change the Laws of that Body or withdraw from the said People their proper Substance against their Wills And therefore it now follows that we speak somewhat of the Fundamentals of laws in General and then descend to the particular Fundamentals of the Laws of England and afterwards briefly declare the Executive Powers of the same And first of Laws in General WHich are Four that more properly belong to this our Business viz. The Law Enternal The Law of Nations Divine Law and Human Law The Law Eternal LEx Aeterna is the Reason of the Divine Will whereby God will ●ave all things of him Created to be moved and directed to a good End and it is called The first Law and all other Laws are derived from it And this Law Eternal none may be able to
