A86917	A treatise of monarchie, containing two parts: 1. concerning monarchy in generall. 2. concerning this particular monarchy. Wherein all the maine questions occurrent in both, are stated, disputed, and determined: and in the close, the contention now in being, is moderately debated, and the readiest meanes of reconcilement proposed.

of_o it_o for_o none_o will_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o way_n of_o government_n use_v and_o to_o be_v use_v in_o this_o realm_n be_v a_o design_a way_n only_o some_o speak_v as_o if_o this_o

this_o to_o be_v true_a even_o in_o the_o most_o absolute_a monarch_n in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o point_n controvert_v be_v punctual_o this_o whether_o the_o authority_n which_o be_v inherent_a

persuade_v assert_v assert_v that_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o our_o king_n be_v radical_o and_o fundamental_o limit_v and_o not_o only_o in_o the_o use_n and_o exercise_n of_o it_o and_o be_o

be_v a_o very_a overthrow_n of_o all_o monarchy_n and_o to_o reduce_v all_o government_n to_o democracy_n for_o look_v where_o the_o apex_n potestatis_fw-la be_v there_o be_v the_o government_n also_o
