A38407	Englands monarch, or, A conviction and refutation by the common law, of those false principles and insinuating flatteries of Albericus delivered by way of disputation, and after published, and dedicated to our dread soveraigne King James, in which he laboureth to prove by the civill law, our prince to be an absolute monarch and to have a free and arbitrary power over the lives and estates of his people : together with a generall confutation (and that grounded upon certaine principles taken by some of their owne profession) of all absolute monarchy.		1644 (1644)	Wing E2997; ESTC R10980	14,794	18

be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n god_n say_v he_o be_v simple_o absolute_a not_o bind_v to_o any_o law_n but_o the_o prince_n only_o absolute_a to_o some_o respect_n for_o though_o he_o be_v above_o the_o civil_a law_n yet_o he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n of_o god_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o nation_n we_o will_v allow_v this_o absolute_a power_n that_o you_o speak_v of_o if_o you_o canevince_v we_o out_o of_o holy_a writ_n to_o which_o prince_n as_o well_o as_o people_n owe_v subjection_n that_o ever_o such_o power_n be_v communicate_v to_o any_o just_a prince_n that_o he_o may_v dispose_v of_o the_o life_n and_o estate_n of_o his_o subject_n at_o his_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n what_o be_v this_o but_o tyranny_n and_o if_o god_n who_o only_o have_v absolute_a power_n over_o his_o people_n do_v sometime_o in_o his_o wrath_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n put_v a_o tyrannical_a king_n over_o they_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o warrant_n for_o other_o to_o

his_o bounty_n do_v bestow_v upon_o his_o mean_a servant_n he_o do_v invest_v he_o in_o as_o pure_a and_o absolute_a a_o right_n as_o he_o do_v the_o great_a prince_n in_o his_o monarchy_n and_o therefore_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o prince_n to_o dispossess_v he_o of_o it_o we_o have_v a_o most_o exact_a and_o perfect_a description_n of_o a_o tyrant_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 1_o sam._n 8._o where_o when_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n not_o content_v with_o that_o government_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v over_o they_o ask_v a_o king_n of_o samuel_n god_n in_o his_o anger_n and_o as_o a_o judgement_n upon_o the_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n give_v they_o a_o king_n to_o rule_v over_o they_o but_o such_o a_o one_o who_o according_a to_o the_o description_n of_o samuel_n will_v make_v his_o will_n his_o law_n for_o say_v samuel_n to_o the_o people_n this_o will_v be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o king_n that_o shall_v reign_v over_o you_o he_o will_v take_v your_o son_n and_o appoint_v they_o for_o himself_o for_o his_o charet_n etc._n etc._n and_o he_o will_v appoint_v he_o captain_n over_o thousand_o etc._n etc._n and_o he_o will_v take_v your_o

and_o cattle_n and_o put_v they_o to_o work_v etc._n etc._n here_o you_o have_v a_o complete_a delineation_n of_o a_o tyrant_n for_o mark_v samuel_n tell_v the_o people_n what_o he_o will_v do_v not_o what_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o he_o will_v do_v say_v he_o and_o he_o will_v render_v no_o better_a reason_n for_o what_o he_o do_v stat_fw-la pro_fw-la ratione_fw-la voluntas_fw-la his_o will_n be_v reason_n sufficient_a to_o deprive_v you_o of_o your_o substance_n and_o to_o enslave_v you_o and_o your_o postetity_n for_o ever_o this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v draw_v in_o example_n or_o make_v a_o precedent_n for_o other_o and_o therefore_o let_v every_o unjust_a prince_n take_v heed_n that_o while_o he_o be_v make_v the_o rod_n and_o scourge_n of_o god_n for_o his_o people_n sin_n he_o himself_o be_v not_o at_o the_o last_o throw_v into_o the_o fire_n but_o now_o you_o shall_v hear_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o good_a prince_n set_v forth_o in_o deut._n 17_o he_o shall_v not_o multiply_v horse_n to_o himself_o etc._n etc._n neither_o shall_v he_o multiply_v wife_n nor_o silver_n and_o gold_n he_o shall_v write_v he_o a_o copy_n of_o this_o law_n in_o a_o book_n etc._n etc._n and_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o he_o and_o he_o shall_v read_v therein_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n that_o he_o may_v learn_v to_o fear_v the_o lord_n his_o god_n to_o keep_v all_o the_o word_n of_o this_o law_n and_o these_o statute_n to_o do_v they_o now_o mark_v what_o follow_v all_o that_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o lift_v up_o above_o his_o brethren_n etc._n etc._n for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v not_o find_v here_o that_o the_o king_n will_v be_v a_o law_n or_o that_o he_o have_v power_n to_o open_v &_o shut_v the_o purse_n of_o his_o subject_n at_o his_o pleasure_n a_o just_a prince_n must_v not_o multiply_v silver_n &_o gold_n why_o then_o doubtless_o he_o must_v not_o do_v it_o upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o subject_n he_o must_v keep_v this_o law_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a this_o law_n do_v not_o make_v he_o lawless_a or_o justify_v tyranny_n and_o last_o his_o heart_n must_v not_o be_v lift_v up_o above_o his_o brethren_n that_o be_v he_o must_v not_o so_o exalt_v his_o own_o power_n as_o to_o depress_v and_o destroy_v his_o people_n another_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o the_o people_n do_v transfer_v this_o power_n to_o the_o king_n that_o by_o it_o they_o may_v be_v more_o commodious_o govern_v 24._o page_n 24._o but_o this_o be_v not_o that_o supreme_a power_n sic_fw-la volo_fw-la sic_fw-la

power_n in_o the_o prince_n and_o he_o say_v that_o the_o people_n sometime_o by_o this_o extraordinary_a power_n which_o be_v the_o supreme_a and_o absolute_a power_n may_v be_v govern_v more_o commodious_o for_o he_o say_v that_o people_n of_o indomitable_a and_o rigid_a spirit_n be_v better_o govern_v by_o this_o extraordinary_a than_o a_o ordinary_a power_n and_o those_o subject_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o a_o iron_n rod_n that_o will_v not_o yield_v to_o the_o ferula_fw-la certain_o albericus_n when_o he_o write_v this_o book_n think_v he_o have_v be_v tutor_n of_o child_n i_o confess_v that_o i_o have_v often_o read_v and_o hear_v that_o the_o government_n by_o monarchy_n be_v much_o to_o be_v prefer_v and_o set_v before_o oligarchy_n democracy_n or_o aristocracy_n but_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o tyranny_n may_v be_v more_o apt_a &_o commodious_a than_o a_o just_a and_o lawful_a government_n neither_o do_v i_o ever_o read_v of_o any_o people_n of_o so_o savedge_n and_o barbarous_a a_o nature_n who_o will_v not_o rather_o stoop_v to_o a_o just_a and_o legal_a than_o a_o unjust_a and_o tyrannical_a dominion_n no_o question_n it_o be_v most_o commodious_a both_o for_o king_n and_o people_n that_o the_o one_o shall_v have_v a_o certain_a positive_a rule_n by_o which_o he_o may_v govern_v and_o the_o other_o by_o which_o he_o may_v obey_v and_o that_o prince_n who_o govern_v his_o people_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n shall_v find_v more_o faithful_a and_o loyal_a subject_n than_o he_o that_o sway_v they_o by_o the_o sceptre_n of_o a_o extraordinary_a and_o tyrannical_a power_n but_o hear_v what_o albericus_n do_v determine_v to_o be_v tyranny_n that_o say_v he_o 25._o pag._n 25._o be_v tyrannous_a which_o in_o a_o tyrant_n be_v wont_a and_o

of_o that_o kind_n he_o say_v to_o be_v tyrannous_a how_o albericus_n be_v these_o tyrannous_a i_o think_v the_o supreme_a power_n have_v be_v unlimited_a why_o so_o it_o be_v for_o he_o say_v that_o
