such_o government_n and_o that_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o state_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o greatness_n and_o extent_n of_o its_o bound_n and_o empire_n but_o in_o its_o internal_a order_n and_o tranquillity_n eleven_o as_o to_o the_o great_a public_a inconvenience_n of_o a_o monarch_n turn_v a_o tyrant_n it_o be_v observable_a first_o that_o the_o mark_n of_o a_o tyrant_n be_v so_o various_o and_o dubious_o give_v by_o the_o enemy_n of_o monarchy_n that_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a for_o the_o most_o ingenious_a much_o more_o for_o the_o vulgar_a to_o determine_v where_o any_o governor_n deserve_v this_o odious_a character_n two_o if_o every_o man_n will_v industrious_o employ_v himself_o in_o the_o proper_a business_n of_o his_o own_o call_n and_o capacity_n there_o will_v be_v little_a time_n and_o less_o occasion_n for_o these_o unprofitable_a inquiry_n into_o the_o council_n and_o action_n of_o prince_n which_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v keep_v more_o close_o and_o mysterious_a than_o these_o of_o private_a man_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v how_o liable_a these_o be_v to_o be_v often_o and_o great_o misrepresent_v three_o though_o there_o be_v no_o shadow_n of_o true_a reason_n to_o imagine_v that_o monarch_n be_v accountable_a to_o their_o subject_n for_o their_o administration_n which_o be_v a_o error_n no_o less_o absurd_a a_o accountable_a monarch_n be_v a_o inferior_a supreme_a than_o it_o be_v pernicious_a both_o in_o government_n and_o religion_n yet_o prince_n can_v but_o remember_v that_o as_o subject_n be_v accountable_a to_o their_o sovereign_n and_o superior_a so_o monarch_n be_v to_o they_o the_o great_a god_n and_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n by_o who_o king_n reign_n and_o against_o who_o only_o they_o sin_n 4_o we_o can_v fancy_v very_o few_o monarch_n so_o void_a of_o common_a sense_n as_o not_o to_o understand_v that_o their_o honour_n and_o safety_n do_v depend_v on_o the_o happiness_n and_o prosperity_n of_o their_o subject_n so_o it_o be_v next_o too_o impossible_a that_o they_o can_v design_v their_o general_a hurt_n and_o oppression_n 5_o when_o some_o severity_n actual_o happen_v which_o be_v general_o look_v upon_o as_o excess_n of_o government_n they_o be_v never_o so_o heavy_a in_o nature_n nor_o so_o universal_a in_o their_o extent_n and_o duration_n as_o the_o dreadful_a calamity_n of_o civil_a war_n which_o be_v the_o common_a cause_n of_o the_o frailty_n and_o mortality_n of_o empire_n and_o which_o be_v thus_o always_o so_o unlucky_a as_o to_o produce_v the_o same_o and_o more_o and_o great_a evil_n than_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v fear_v or_o suffer_v from_o the_o lawful_a superior_a and_o whoever_o by_o his_o fear_n discontent_n and_o grievance_n will_v needs_o disturb_v the_o government_n or_o will_v circumscribe_v it_o must_v asurd_o suspect_v himself_o to_o a_o power_n which_o he_o must_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v great_a otherways_o he_o can_v dream_v how_o he_o can_v set_v limit_n to_o the_o former_a but_o last_o which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n when_o it_o be_v ask_v what_o if_o a_o monatch_v abuse_v the_o power_n neglect_v the_o dictate_v or_o law_n of_o his_o kingdom_n we_o ask_v the_o enemy_n of_o monarchy_n what_o if_o in_o their_o form_n of_o government_n the_o major_a part_n or_o respresentative_n and_o trusty_n of_o the_o people_n do_v the_o same_o if_o they_o say_v that_o these_o can_v be_v resist_v or_o judge_v by_o the_o rest_n than_o it_o seem_v very_o evident_a that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o government_n at_o all_o or_o at_o lest_o none_o that_o can_v be_v promise_v to_o be_v of_o a_o week_n continuance_n if_o these_o can_v be_v just_o oppose_v or_o resist_v than_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o difficulty_n propose_v be_v at_o least_o equal_a in_o all_o form_n of_o government_n but_o that_o it_o be_v great_a on_o the_o republicans_a side_n we_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v from_o impartial_a history_n many_o more_o example_n of_o popular_a government_n generaly_a vitiate_a or_o in_o which_o avaritious_a irreligious_a and_o licentious_a man_n have_v have_v the_o whole_a sway_n then_o can_v be_v produce_v of_o wicked_a monarch_n and_o this_o one_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v true_a be_v enough_o to_o destroy_v all_o the_o empty_a objection_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o monarchy_n as_o to_o that_o case_n of_o the_o alteration_n of_o civil_a law_n beside_o that_o these_o have_v no_o force_n nor_o obligation_n but_o what_o they_o entire_o derive_v from_o the_o sovereign_n and_o we_o be_v by_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o discretion_n and_o charity_n to_o suppose_v that_o when_o ever_o there_o happen_v any_o change_n in_o any_o of_o they_o it_o be_v intend_v for_o the_o better_a and_o for_o the_o more_o general_a convenience_n of_o which_o the_o sovereign_a always_o be_v judge_n who_o ever_o think_v the_o perpetuity_n of_o law_n a_o advantage_n to_o a_o state_n or_o society_n most_o have_v the_o less_o esteem_n of_o popular_a government_n when_o after_o examination_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o never_o be_v there_o a_o great_a number_n of_o partial_a and_o ridiculous_a constitution_n never_o more_o frequent_a abrogation_n vicissrude_v and_o change_n of_o law_n then_o in_o the_o roman_a athenian_a and_o such_o other_o republic_n which_o have_v give_v occasion_n to_o that_o remark_n of_o some_o lawyer_n that_o any_o considerable_a alteration_n in_o the_o civil_a law_n can_v be_v expect_v in_o monarchy_n in_o less_o than_o the_o revolution_n of_o 30_o year_n general_o speak_v but_o in_o the_o popular_a government_n with_o every_o calends_n of_o january_n twelve_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v in_o the_o general_a concern_v monarchy_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o observe_v that_o these_o monarchy_n be_v most_o perfect_a which_o be_v hereditary_a be_v in_o their_o nature_n of_o the_o most_o equable_v stability_n for_o see_v every_o successor_n in_o such_o a_o series_n have_v a_o full_a right_n to_o the_o entire_a sovereignty_n this_o right_n can_v never_o prescribe_v or_o be_v diminish_v and_o though_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o most_o absolute_a monarchy_n be_v in_o all_o age_n think_v to_o use_v several_a method_n and_o form_n of_o consult_v their_o subject_n in_o the_o great_a and_o weighty_a affair_n of_o the_o government_n yet_o no_o concession_n whatsoever_o to_o

can_v allienat_n any_o part_n or_o make_v any_o share_n of_o the_o supreme_a authority_n the_o society_n may_v also_o reasonable_o expect_v the_o great_a care_n and_o sincere_a love_n from_o hereditary_a prince_n who_o consider_v the_o government_n and_o society_n as_o their_o property_n and_o inheritance_n will_v watch_v over_o it_o with_o the_o more_o diligent_a and_o circumspect_a

fix_a and_o establish_a government_n of_o this_o ancient_a kingdom_n we_o can_v explain_v or_o assert_v in_o word_n more_o clear_a and_o comprehensive_a than_o these_o in_o which_o at_o several_a
