government_n then_o begin_v with_o the_o world_n and_o god_n who_o have_v the_o sovereign_n right_o of_o power_n over_o the_o whole_a universe_n invest_v adam_n with_o so_o much_o as_o be_v

before_o the_o flood_n be_v a_o little_a obscure_a and_o since_o moses_n think_v fit_a to_o pass_v they_o over_o with_o so_o great_a silence_n it_o be_v reasonable_a we_o shall_v do_v so_o too_o but_o we_o may_v most_o probable_o conjecture_v as_o well_o from_o that_o short_a history_n in_o the_o bible_n as_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o josephus_n and_o after_o he_o grotius_n that_o the_o

that_o universal_a cataclis●_n but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v before_o the_o flood_n i_o suppose_v it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a for_o our_o purpose_n if_o we_o deduce_v the_o history_n of_o government_n and_o the_o right_n of_o power_n from_o the_o restauration_n of_o mankind_n to_o the_o first_o grecian_a kingdom_n which_o i_o hope_v may_v be_v do_v so_o plain_o and_o that_o by_o the_o authority_n

be_v to_o show_v when_o and_o how_o government_n and_o the_o first_o regulation_n of_o man_n begin_v in_o the_o world_n after_o the_o flood_n i_o think_v there_o be_v very_o few_o who_o doubt_v the_o
