A86678	The divine right of government: [brace] 1. naturall, and 2. politique. More particularly of monarchie; the onely legitimate and natural spece of politique government. VVherein the phansyed state-principles supereminencing salutem populi above the Kings honour: and legitimating the erection of polarchies, the popular elections of kings and magistrates, and the authoritative and compulsive establishment of a national conformity in evangelical and Christian dutyes, rites, and ceremonies, are manifested to be groundlesse absurdities both in policy and divinity. / By Mich: Hudson.

of_o custom_n and_o tribute_n for_o their_o own_o private_a patrimony_n can_v not_o be_v sufficient_a for_o maintain_v such_o kingly_a magnificence_n nor_o do_v we_o find_v any_o particular_a law_n
