A86917	A treatise of monarchie, containing two parts: 1. concerning monarchy in generall. 2. concerning this particular monarchy. Wherein all the maine questions occurrent in both, are stated, disputed, and determined: and in the close, the contention now in being, is moderately debated, and the readiest meanes of reconcilement proposed.

of_o it_o for_o none_o will_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o way_n of_o government_n use_v and_o to_o be_v use_v in_o this_o realm_n be_v a_o design_a way_n only_o some_o speak_v as_o if_o this_o

and_o run_v out_o into_o act_n of_o injury_n at_o pleasure_n and_o violate_v those_o law_n which_o they_o have_v by_o public_a faith_n and_o oath_n promise_v to_o observe_v for_o none_o will_v deny_v this_o to_o be_v true_a even_o in_o the_o most_o absolute_a monarch_n in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o point_n controvert_v be_v punctual_o this_o whether_o the_o authority_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o our_o king_n be_v boundless_a and_o absolute_a or_o limit_v and_o determine_v so_o that_o the_o act_n which_o they_o do_v or_o command_v to_o be_v do_v without_o that_o compass_n and_o bound_n be_v not_o only_o sinful_a in_o themselves_o but_o invalid_a and_o non-authoritative_a to_o other_o now_o for_o the_o determine_v hereof_o i_o conceive_v and_o be_o in_o sect._n 2_o my_o judgement_n persuade_v assert_v assert_v that_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o our_o king_n be_v radical_o and_o fundamental_o limit_v and_o not_o only_o in_o the_o use_n and_o exercise_n of_o it_o and_o be_o persuade_v so_o on_o these_o ground_n and_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o king_n majesty_n himself_o who_o best_a reas_n 1_o know_v by_o his_o council_n the_o nature_n of_o his_o own_o power_n

be_v a_o very_a overthrow_n of_o all_o monarchy_n and_o to_o reduce_v all_o government_n to_o democracy_n for_o look_v where_o the_o apex_n potestatis_fw-la be_v there_o be_v the_o government_n also_o
