A89341	The necessity of Christian subjection. Demonstrated, and proved by the doctrine of Christ, and the Apostles; the practice of primitive Christians, the rules of religion, cases of conscience, and consent of latter orthodox divines, that the power of the King is not of humane, but of divine right; and that God onely is the efficient cause thereof. Whereunto is added, an appendix of all the chief objections that malice it selfe could lay upon His Majestie, with a full answer to every particular objection. Also a tract intituled, Christus Dei, wherein is proved that our Soveraign Lord the King is not onely major singulis, but major universis.

cause_n of_o this_o second_o though_o not_o of_o the_o first_o as_o for_o example_n the_o alderman_n of_o london_n may_v elect_v nominate_v and_o constitute_v such_o or_o such_o a_o man_n to_o be_v their_o lord_n major_a to_o administer_v the_o power_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o corporation_n of_o that_o city_n and_o herein_o they_o may_v be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o his_o authority_n

that_o the_o civil_a power_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n be_v not_o a_o humane_a but_o divine_a power_n of_o which_o not_o the_o people_n but_o god_n only_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n it_o be_v true_a

for_o whether_o this_o power_n be_v in_o many_o or_o in_o one_o

it_o be_v still_o the_o same_o divine_a power_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n though_o diverse_o administer_v of_o which_o god_n only_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n but_o when_o the_o people_n have_v
