all_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o doctor_n conceit_n of_o such_o a_o unlimited_a ordinance_n of_o god_n which_o he_o bring_v not_o a_o tittle_n of_o god_n word_n to_o prove_v be_v a_o mere_a chimaera_n and_o groundless_a conceit_n object_n object_n now_o the_o only_a difficulty_n which_o i_o can_v think_v on_o be_v this_o god_n ordinance_n in_o sovereignty_n as_o before_o be_v not_o only_a power_n to_o such_o a_o end_n but_o sufficiency_n of_o power_n to_o the_o assecution_n of_o that_o end_n now_o a_o limit_a power_n seem_v not_o to_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o end_n of_o government_n because_o there_o be_v two_o power_n necessary_a to_o the_o end_n of_o government_n sc_n power_n of_o make_v and_o authentic_a interpret_n of_o law_n which_o be_v not_o consistent_a with_o a_o limitation_n of_o power_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a of_o limitation_n in_o respect_n of_o act_n sol._n sol._n and_o therefore_o i_o aver_v that_o such_o a_o limitation_n can_v be_v where_o power_n be_v supreme_a but_o for_o limitation_n to_o a_o rule_n and_o define_v way_n of_o work_v i_o can_v see_v how_o it_o with-stands_a the_o end_n of_o government_n so_o that_o suppose_v power_n of_o make_v and_o interpret_n law_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o end_n of_o government_n yet_o that_o they_o be_v absolute_o resident_a in_o he_o who_o be_v supreme_a sc_n to_o make_v law_n and_o interpret_v law_n authoritative_o without_o be_v bind_v to_o follow_v any_o light_n or_o rule_v therein_o but_o his_o own_o reason_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o end_n of_o government_n in_o these_o act_v a_o regulate_v power_n be_v enough_o in_o the_o most_o simple_a state_n sc_n a_o power_n to_o make_v new_a law_n if_o any_o be_v needful_a and_o interpret_n the_o old_a if_o ambiguous_a according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o former_a establish_a law_n and_o by_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o learned_a counsel_n and_o judge_n of_o his_o supreme_a court_n of_o justice_n we_o see_v in_o matter_n spiritual_a there_o be_v no_o legislative_a power_n resident_a to_o ordain_v or_o give_v authentic_a sense_n in_o matter_n de_fw-la fide_fw-la yet_o the_o church_n stand_v well_o enough_o one_o stand_a rule_n of_o scripture_n be_v sufficient_a with_o a_o ministerial_a interpretation_n so_o it_o be_v probable_a a_o state_n may_v by_o a_o complete_a stand_a rule_n of_o law_n and_o a_o ministerial_a power_n of_o interpretation_n be_v there_o no_o legislative_a power_n resident_a in_o any_o supreme_a magistrate_n thereof_o but_o the_o matter_n be_v far_o more_o clear_a in_o a_o mix_a government_n so_o that_o assert_v 2_o be_v it_o necessary_a in_o a_o simple_a government_n that_o the_o supreme_a shall_v be_v unlimited_a in_o his_o power_n yet_o in_o a_o mix_a which_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o in_o this_o kingdom_n evident_o it_o be_v not_o so_o and_o to_o make_v this_o appear_v i_o will_v lay_v down_o three_o ground_n 1._o such_o a_o government_n may_v be_v establish_v that_o the_o supreme_a power_n may_v be_v place_v in_o many_o person_n either_o of_o the_o same_o or_o divers_a condition_n that_o be_v in_o a_o mix_a subject_n else_o all_o form_n be_v unlawful_a except_o simple_a monarchy_n 2._o if_o this_o supreme_a power_n be_v inequal_o place_v in_o these_o person_n or_o state_n of_o man_n so_o that_o a_o real_a sublimity_n and_o principality_n be_v give_v to_o one_o than_o the_o denomination_n may_v be_v take_v from_o that_o principal_a and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o monarchy_n or_o aristocracy_n or_o democracy_n mix_v in_o the_o power_n itself_o however_o it_o please_v this_o reply_o to_o deride_v it_o with_o the_o top_n or_o crown_n of_o the_o head_n of_o which_o more_o hereafter_o 3._o where_o the_o supremacy_n of_o power_n be_v thus_o in_o many_o although_o all_o take_v together_o have_v a_o unlimited_a power_n as_o in_o we_o yet_o neither_o of_o they_o several_a by_o himself_o have_v or_o can_v have_v for_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n that_o it_o be_v resident_a in_o many_o and_o yet_o unlimited_o in_o one._n now_o to_o those_o two_o show_n of_o argument_n which_o in_o the_o beginning_n i_o produce_v out_o of_o this_o reply_n i_o say_v before_o government_n be_v establish_v it_o be_v true_a the_o people_n have_v no_o formal_a politic_n power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o seminal_a that_o be_v every_o one_o for_o himself_o his_o family_n and_o posterity_n have_v a_o power_n of_o resign_v up_o their_o natural_a liberty_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o one_o or_o many_o after_o this_o or_o that_o form_n as_o they_o shall_v judge_v fit_a god_n ordain_v that_o power_n shall_v be_v to_o such_o a_o end_n have_v thereby_o legitimate_a and_o ratify_v any_o consent_n or_o contract_n which_o people_n may_v make_v of_o part_v with_o their_o liberty_n and_o give_v magistrate_n a_o common_a power_n over_o they_o to_o that_o end_n and_o god_n not_o prescribe_v any_o rule_n or_o measure_n of_o power_n by_o his_o ordinance_n of_o authority_n have_v leave_v it_o in_o the_o people_n liberty_n to_o resign_v up_o themselves_o according_a to_o such_o rule_n and_o termes_n as_o they_o judge_v fit_a so_o it_o be_v such_o as_o the_o end_n of_o his_o ordinance_n may_v be_v attain_v thereby_o thus_o although_o by_o itself_o and_o exclude_v god_n ordinance_n they_o have_v no_o immediate_a power_n to_o lay_v a_o command_n on_o other_o nor_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n yet_o in_o virtue_n of_o god_n ordinance_n their_o common_a consent_n and_o contract_n be_v sufficient_a to_o set_v up_o such_o a_o power_n which_o be_v endow_v with_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o command_n for_o government_n and_o the_o end_n of_o government_n over_o those_o which_o have_v each_o man_n for_o himself_o and_o he_o set_v it_o up_o so_o although_o second_o cause_n have_v no_o power_n by_o themselves_o to_o produce_v their_o effect_n yet_o work_v in_o virtue_n of_o the_o first_o cause_n they_o have_v power_n to_o produce_v effect_n sometime_o far_o beyond_o their_o own_o measure_n therefore_o i_o desire_v this_o doctor_n either_o to_o bring_v some_o ordinance_n of_o god_n express_o forbid_v to_o set_v any_o bound_n or_o rule_n of_o power_n upon_o the_o will_n of_o the_o magistrate_n or_o else_o let_v he_o suffer_v mankind_n to_o use_v their_o right_n in_o resign_v up_o that_o liberty_n which_o god_n and_o nature_n have_v give_v they_o upon_o such_o term_n and_o condition_n as_o they_o apprehend_v best_a
