by_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o which_o be_v the_o more_o modern_a be_v so_o plain_a that_o you_o be_v put_v unto_o a_o shift_n who_o can_v say_v no_o more_o than_o that_o i_o make_v janotti_n author_n of_o the_o division_n of_o prudence_n into_o ancient_a and_o modern_a how_o dare_v you_o you_o for_o your_o reputation_n do_v thus_o mr._n wren_n while_o first_o by_o your_o own_o acknowledgement_n i_o infer_v this_o division_n from_o more_o ancient_a author_n as_o thucydides_n and_o florus_n and_o second_o my_o word_n relate_v unto_o janotti_n do_v nowhere_o from_o he_o derive_v the_o division_n of_o prudence_n into_o ancient_a and_o modern_a as_o to_o those_o term_n upon_o which_o run_v your_o equivocation_n but_o fortify_v this_o division_n of_o my_o own_o by_o the_o two_o period_n of_o time_n by_o he_o observe_v and_o that_o be_v of_o like_a sense_n with_o these_o term_n but_o mr._n wren_n there_o be_v never_o the_o like_a of_o you_o whereas_o the_o question_n by_o i_o propose_v be_v whether_o prudence_n be_v not_o right_o divide_v into_o ancient_a and_o modern_a you_o have_v convey_v it_o into_o a_o question_n whether_o monarchy_n be_v not_o a_o more_o ancient_a government_n than_o a_o commonwealth_n this_o have_v i_o hitherto_o not_o dispute_v as_o that_o which_o concern_v not_o the_o present_a controversy_n but_o see_v it_o may_v be_v for_o your_o service_n i_o do_v flat_o deny_v that_o monarchy_n be_v the_o more_o ancient_a government_n not_o that_o mr._n hobbes_n hold_v polit._n democracy_n to_o be_v of_o all_o government_n the_o first_o in_o order_n of_o time_n but_o first_o because_o upon_o the_o place_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o 8._o nimrod_n be_v a_o mighty_a hunter_n before_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v resolve_v by_o

thus_o either_o the_o world_n have_v no_o government_n till_o nimrod_n or_o a_o commonwealth_n may_v be_v above_o a_o thousand_o year_n elder_a than_o monarchy_n nay_o unless_o you_o can_v find_v some_o government_n that_o be_v neither_o a_o commonwealth_n nor_o a_o monarchy_n must_v have_v be_v no_o less_o i_o know_v what_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o government_n till_o nimrod_n be_v by_o father_n of_o family_n why_o so_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v yield_v it_o be_v afterwards_o at_o least_o in_o the_o line_n of_o shem._n now_o let_v we_o compute_v from_o noah_n and_o consider_v in_o the_o posterity_n of_o shem_n what_o judgement_n may_v be_v make_v of_o the_o government_n by_o father_n of_o family_n or_o whether_o this_o be_v indeed_o as_o divine_n affirm_v monarchical_a or_o may_v not_o much_o rather_o be_v esteem_v popular_a 11._o noah_n have_v three_o son_n shem_n ham_n and_o japhet_n of_o shem_n by_o arphaxad_n and_o other_o descend_v reu_fw-fr of_o reu_fw-fr

can_v show_v the_o descendent_n of_o shem_n to_o have_v be_v under_o monarchy_n must_v also_o have_v be_v the_o more_o ancient_a government_n that_o be_v if_o government_n by_o father_n of_o family_n be_v popular_a now_o as_o to_o this_o it_o be_v a_o tradition_n rim_n with_o the_o rabbin_n that_o there_o be_v seven_o precept_n deliver_v to_o the_o child_n of_o noah_n 1._o concerning_o

rapine_n or_o theft_n 7._o concerning_o eat_v of_o thing_n strangle_v or_o of_o a_o member_n tear_v from_o a_o live_a creature_n this_o tradition_n throughout_o the_o jewish_a government_n be_v undoubted_a for_o to_o such_o as_o hold_v these_o precept_n and_o no_o more_o they_o give_v not_o only_o as_o i_o may_v say_v toleration_n but_o allow_v they_o to_o come_v so_o near_o unto_o the_o

that_o they_o have_v violate_v the_o foregoing_a precept_n be_v in_o my_o judgement_n evident_a see_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n why_o a_o man_n may_v not_o approach_v in_o this_o manner_n unto_o one_o that_o be_v near_o of_o kin_n to_o he_o again_o that_o two_o other_o of_o these_o precept_n be_v give_v by_o god_n unto_o noah_n the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a where_o he_o say_v 9_o flesh_n with_o the_o life_n thereof_o which_o be_v the_o blood_n thereof_o shall_v you_o not_o eat_v and_o whoso_o shed_v man_n blood_n by_o man_n shall_v his_o blood_n be_v shed_v whence_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o either_o father_n of_o family_n be_v not_o subject_a unto_o this_o law_n which_o because_o it_o be_v give_v general_o and_o without_o any_o exception_n be_v

monarchy_n of_o nimrod_n and_o for_o aught_o perhaps_o to_o the_o contrary_a of_o as_o ancient_a stand_n be_v a_o commonwealth_n but_o above_o all_o it_o shall_v seem_v by_o some_o of_o the_o rabbin_n that_o there_o be_v a_o consistory_n or_o senate_n institute_v by_o shem_n which_o be_v of_o use_n with_o his_o posterity_n now_o if_o patriarchal_a government_n be_v exercise_v by_o or_o under_o
