then_o that_o the_o people_n shall_v pretend_v a_o right_a to_o limit_v and_o restrict_n that_o power_n which_o they_o never_o give_v and_o the_o only_a reason_n why_o buchannan_n and_o his_o

whatsoever_o therefore_o the_o conclusion_n draw_v from_o it_o must_v be_v false_a likewise_o the_o three_o argument_n shall_v be_v deduce_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o monarchy_n and_o in_o order_n thereto_o i_o lay_v down_o as_o a_o uncontroverted_a principle_n that_o every_o thing_n must_v be_v construct_v to_o be_v perfect_a in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o no_o mixture_n be_v presume_v to_o
