A42629	The defence of the Parliament of England in the case of James the II, or, A treatise of regal power and of the right of the people drawn from ancient councils ... and more especially the ordinances of the doctors of the Church of Rome ... : wherein is demonstrated that the Holy Scriptures are so far from being contrary, that they do even assent thereto / written in Latin by P. Georgeson, Kt. ; translated by S. Rand.	Georgeson, P., Sir.; Rand, S.	1692 (1692)	Wing G533; ESTC R18626	44,763	42

never_o have_v stand_v in_o need_n either_o of_o law_n or_o of_o magistracy_n man_n be_v of_o unblamable_a life_n and_o upright_a conversation_n will_v have_v be_v a_o law_n to_o himself_o and_o will_v have_v acknowledge_v no_o government_n but_o that_o of_o reason_n only_o among_o person_n perfect_o equal_a human_a nature_n will_v not_o have_v sensible_o perceive_v any_o outward_a government_n but_o that_o of_o parent_n of_o their_o child_n and_o that_o too_o but_o until_o the_o age_n of_o discretion_n and_o their_o be_v capable_a of_o reason_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o reason_n become_v impair_v and_o quite_o debilitate_a by_o sin_n like_o a_o coachman_n jolt_v from_o his_o box_n it_o be_v no_o long_o able_a to_o hold_v the_o reins_o then_o the_o affection_n and_o

with_o law_n and_o apply_v a_o magistracy_n over_o he_o that_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bridle_v and_o restrain_v the_o irregularity_n of_o his_o passion_n and_o the_o exorbitancy_n of_o his_o astection_n and_o appetite_n which_o be_v to_o conduct_v he_o in_o that_o way_n which_o be_v sh●wn_v he_o in_o it_o hence_o it_o appear_v that_o law_n and_o magistracy_n be_v the_o fruit_n and_o conscquency_n of_o sin_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v observable_a first_o of_o all_o that_o absolute_a power_n can_v demand_v or_o claim_v any_o aid_n or_o assistance_n from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v not_o nature_n that_o create_v king_n but_o the_o mutual_a consent_n of_o man_n for_o it_o be_v very_o idle_a and_o frivolous_a which_o some_o prate_n of_o a_o kind_n of_o resemblance_n and_o adumbration_n of_o kingly_a power_n in_o brute_n creature_n now_o that_o some_o of_o they_o seem_v to_o rule_v over_o other_o of_o the_o same_o species_n that_o rule_n be_v it_o what_o it_o will_v be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o privilege_n of_o the_o sex_n not_o of_o the_o individuum_fw-la for_o example_n the_o bull_n seem_v to_o bear_v rule_n over_o the_o cow_n though_o not_o over_o the_o bull_n with_o who_o he_o often_o try_v a_o touch_n for_o mastery_n the_o ram_n seem_v to_o over-rule_v the_o sheep_n but_o not_o the_o ram_n with_o who_o he_o s●ldom_o fail_v to_o be_v at_o odds_o and_o so_o for_o the_o rest_n moreover_o absolute_a sway_n do_v seem_v to_o i_o diametrical_o opposite_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o as_o justinian_n witness_v all_o man_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v freeborn_a therefore_o they_o be_v their_o own_o 2._o and_o not_o another_o man_n now_o if_o any_o imagine_v he_o have_v hit_v the_o nail_n on_o the_o head_n if_o he_o say_v absolute_a power_n be_v a_o appendix_n of_o sin_n and_o annex_v to_o it_o by_o the_o occasion_n of_o which_o human_a nature_n be_v bring_v into_o bondage_n true_o methinks_v such_o a_o one_o never_o weigh_v the_o matter_n considerate_o enough_o true_a it_o be_v indeed_o that_o since_o sin_n the_o cause_n of_o all_o mischief_n and_o servitude_n creep_v into_o the_o world_n human_a nature_n have_v be_v bring_v into_o bondage_n but_o it_o be_v to_o sin_n and_o death_n not_o to_o man_n neither_o will_v i_o deny_v but_o that_o kingly_a power_n as_o also_o all_o magistracy_n be_v the_o appendix_n and_o effect_n of_o sin_n for_o i_o have_v so_o state_v the_o business_n before_o but_o nothing_o can_v be_v infer_v srom_o thence_o which_o may_v in_o the_o least_o favour_n absolute_a power_n for_o see_v the_o whole_a human_a nature_n be_v contaminate_v and_o pollute_v and_o even_o overrun_v with_o sin_n princess_n themselves_o as_o man_n be_v bear_v servant_n to_o sin_n and_o be_v the_o vassal_n of_o death_n as_o well_o as_o the_o mean_a peasant_n all_o man_n condition_n upon_o that_o score_n be_v equal_a whence_o any_o one_o may_v easy_o infer_v that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o

absolute_a power_n call_v any_o thing_n more_o to_o back_n and_o assist_v it_o out_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n because_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n common_a to_o 〈…〉_z most_o nation_n now_o not_o all_o in_o general_n nay_o not_o the_o most_o civilise_a and_o po●●te_a nation_n do_v obey_v king_n for_o they_o who_o do_v acknowledge_v government_n do_v not_o use_v it_o alike_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o various_a constitution_n and_o model_n of_o kingdom_n among_o those_o who_o approach_v near_a to_o absolute_a power_n if_o they_o be_v narrow_o sift_v and_o examine_v they_o will_v be_v find_v to_o discard_v and_o destroy_v absolute_a power_n nor_o indeed_o be_v we_o to_o pass_v by_o in_o silence_n that_o the_o first_o form_n of_o government_n institute_v by_o god_n himself_o immediate_o be_v absolute_o democratical_a or_o aristocratical_a wherefore_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a and_o evident_a also_o that_o absolute_a power_n and_o dominion_n be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n as_o never_o have_v be_v ordain_v any_o where_o that_o we_o can_v learn_v there_o remain_v still_o the_o civil_a law_n under_o which_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o seek_v shelter_n and_o borrow_v patronage_n but_o now_o what_o that_o law_n be_v that_o justy_n out_o and_o destroy_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n i_o can_v conceive_v unless_o it_o be_v plain_a downright_a dishonesty_n and_o injury_n iii_o if_o absolute_a power_n be_v allow_v upon_o earth_n than_o the_o right_n of_o god_n the_o most_o just_a

for_o the_o most_o part_n blind_v by_o covetousness_n which_o be_v most_o impious_a to_o think_v iv._o the_o whole_a be_v big_a than_o its_o part_n and_o a_o prince_n be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o a_o

it_o high_o concern_v the_o commonwealth_n to_o look_v about_o they_o and_o provide_v for_o their_o safety_n v._o it_o be_v confess_v by_o all_o hand_n that_o law_n be_v enact_v for_o the_o restrain_v of_o man_n inordinate_a lust_n and_o desire_n whence_o it_o be_v most_o clear_a that_o whatsoever_o power_n tend_v to_o the_o favour_a man_n covetous_a desire_n be_v altogether_o a_o unlawful_a power_n as_o modern_a experience_n that_o i_o may_v not_o rake_v into_o the_o record_n of_o antiquity_n sufficient_o make_v out_o it_o be_v a_o in●ate_a disposition_n incident_a to_o man_n they_o be_v

but_o now_o absolute_a power_n do_v favour_v the_o unruly_a desire_n of_o prince_n therefore_o be_v unlawful_a vi_o all_o power_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o society_n now_o absolute_a power_n be_v the_o calamity_n bane_n and_o destruction_n of_o society_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o ordain_v of_o god_n vii_o whatsoever_o derive_v its_o beginning_n from_o another_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a and_o subordinate_a to_o that_o to_o which_o it_o owe_v its_o beginning_n especial_o in_o morality_n but_o regal_a power_n derive_v its_o rise_n and_o beginning_n from_o the_o people_n therefore_o ought_v regal_a power_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o and_o depend_v upon_o the_o people_n the_o usual_a answer_n to_o this_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o first_o proposition_n be_v not_o always_o true_a as_o for_o example_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v elect_v by_o the_o cardinal_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o subject_a to_o they_o after_o his_o election_n but_o this_o answer_n be_v vain_a
