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.

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

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

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

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
