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. Done by an earnest desirer of his countries peace.	Hunton, Philip, 1604?-1682.	1643 (1643)	Wing H3781; Thomason E103_15; ESTC R5640	60,985	86

evident_a that_o a_o court_n be_v the_o seat_n and_o subject_n of_o authority_n and_o power_n and_o not_o bare_o of_o counsel_n and_o advice_n object_n 2_o second_o the_o two_o house_n together_o

indeed_o this_o be_v a_o main_a question_n and_o have_v very_o weighty_a argument_n on_o both_o side_n king_n whether_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o two_o house_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o king_n

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 it_o be_v against_o common_a reason_n for_o the_o king_n be_v he_o not_o king_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o what_o be_v the_o kingdom_n but_o all_o unite_a all_o the_o particular_n knit_v together_o in_o one_o body_n politic_a so_o that_o if_o he_o be_v king_n of_o the_o kingdom_n he_o be_v universis_fw-la major_n too_o for_o the_o king_n be_v major_a and_o the_o kingdom_n be_v the_o unite_a

of_o the_o monarch_n such_o a_o provision_n for_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n and_o that_o one_o may_v be_v just_o allay_v and_o yet_o consist_v without_o impeachment_n of_o the_o other_o that_o i_o wonder_v how_o our_o forefather_n in_o those_o rude_a unpolished_a time_n can_v attain_v such_o a_o accurate_a composure_n first_o then_o suppose_v a_o people_n either_o compel_v to_o it_o

and_o his_o heir_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o such_o and_o such_o fundamental_a law_n there_o be_v a_o supremacy_n of_o power_n set_v up_o though_o limit_v to_o one_o course_n of_o exercise_n second_o then_o because_o in_o all_o government_n after_o case_n will_v come_v it_o require_v a_o addition_n of_o law_n suppose_v they_o covenant_v with_o their_o sovereign_n that_o if_o cause_n be_v to_o

personal_o convene_v yet_o the_o commons_o be_v so_o many_o can_v well_o come_v together_o by_o themselves_o to_o the_o do_v of_o such_o a_o work_n it_o be_v also_o agree_v that_o every_o

that_o monarchy_n settle_v the_o chief_a power_n and_o final_a judgement_n in_o one_o sect._n 5_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o confess_v he_o limit_v and_o yet_o to_o maintain_v he_o absolute_a

suppose_v the_o antecedent_n true_a the_o consecution_n be_v not_o always_o true_a for_o as_o be_v evident_a before_o in_o the_o first_o part._n all_o conquest_n do_v not_o put_v the_o conqueror_n into_o a_o absolute_a right_n he_o may_v come_v to_o a_o right_n by_o conquest_n but_o not_o sole_a conquest_n but_o a_o partial_a occasion_v a_o right_a by_o final_a agreement_n and_o then_o the_o

consider_v that_o right_a of_o conquest_n have_v too_o much_o of_o force_n in_o it_o to_o be_v safe_a and_o permanent_a he_o may_v think_v conquest_n the_o best_a means_n of_o get_v a_o kingdom_n but_o not_o of_o hold_v and_o in_o wisdom_n for_o himself_o and_o posterity_n gain_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o people_n by_o desert_v that_o title_n and_o take_v a_o new_a by_o politic_n agreement_n or_o descend_v from_o that_o right_n by_o fundamental_a grant_n of_o liberty_n to_o the_o people_n and_o limitation_n to_o his_o own_o power_n but_o these_o thing_n i_o say_v in_o effect_n
