A87137	The prerogative of popular government. A politicall discourse in two books. The former containing the first præliminary of Oceana, inlarged, interpreted, and vindicated from all such mistakes or slanders as have been alledged against it under the notion of objections. The second concerning ordination, against Dr. H. Hamond, Dr. L. Seaman, and the authors they follow. In which two books is contained the whole commonwealth of the Hebrews, or of Israel, senate, people, and magistracy, both as it stood in the institution by Moses, and as it came to be formed after the captivity. As also the different policies introduced into the Church of Christ, during the time of the Apostles. By James Harrington.

the_o whole_a people_n be_v the_o landlord_n a_o commonwealth_n for_o how_o can_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v natural_a unto_o a_o people_n that_o can_v live_v of_o themselves_o to_o give_v away_o the_o mean_n of_o their_o livelihood_n to_o one_o or_o a_o few_o man_n that_o they_o may_v serve_v or_o obey_v each_o government_n be_v equal_o artificial_a in_o effect_n or_o in_o

to_o a_o monarch_n belong_v both_o the_o result_n and_o execution_n too_o wherefore_o that_o there_o have_v be_v duke_n consul_n or_o king_n in_o common_a wealth_n which_o be_v quite_o of_o another_o nature_n be_v no_o argument_n that_o monarchical_a government_n be_v for_o this_o cause_n the_o more_o natural_a and_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v instance_n in_o a_o mix_a government_n as_o king_n and_o parliament_n to_o say_v that_o the_o king_n in_o this_o be_v more_o natural_a than_o the_o parliament_n must_v be_v a_o strange_a affirmation_n to_o argue_v from_o the_o roman_a dictator_n a_o imperfection_n which_o ruine_v that_o commonwealth_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o other_o that_o all_o commonwealth_n have_v have_v the_o like_a recourse_n in_o exigence_n unto_o the_o

thousand_o year_n which_o never_o any_o monarchy_n do_v and_o yet_o shall_v affirm_v that_o monarchical_a government_n be_v more_o natural_a than_o popular_a must_v affirm_v that_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v less_o natural_a may_v be_v more_o durable_a and_o permanent_a than_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v more_o natural_a whether_o be_v a_o government_n of_o law_n less_o natural_a than_o a_o government_n
