though_o i_o think_v i_o do_v yet_o it_o serve_v my_o turn_n that_o he_o say_v that_o resistance_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v and_o every_o man_n must_v oppose_v or_o not_o oppose_v according_a as_o in_o conscience_n he_o can_v acquit_v or_o condemn_v the_o act_n of_o his_o governor_n for_o if_o it_o enable_v a_o man_n to_o resist_v and_o oppose_v his_o governor_n without_o question_n it_o be_v authoritative_a and_o civil_a whereas_o he_o add_v that_o moral_a judgement_n be_v reside_v in_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o execute_v he_o seem_v to_o imply_v that_o authoritative_a and_o civil_a judgement_n do_v not_o reside_v in_o reasonable_a creature_n nor_o can_v be_v lawful_o execute_v such_o a_o conclusion_n fit_v well_o with_o anarchy_n for_o he_o that_o take_v away_o all_o government_n and_o leave_v every_o man_n to_o his_o own_o conscience_n and_o so_o make_v he_o a_o independent_a in_o state_n may_v well_o teach_v that_o authority_n reside_v not_o in_o reasonable_a creature_n nor_o can_v be_v lawful_o execute_v i_o pass_v from_o his_o absolute_a and_o limit_a monarchy_n to_o his_o division_n or_o partition_n for_o he_o allow_v no_o division_n of_o monarchy_n into_o simple_a and_o mix_v viz._n of_o a_o monarch_n the_o nobility_n and_o community_n where_o first_o observe_v a_o doubt_n of_o our_o author_n whether_o a_o firm_a union_n can_v be_v in_o a_o mixture_n 25._o of_o equality_n he_o rather_o think_v there_o must_v be_v a_o priority_n of_o order_n in_o one_o of_o the_o three_o or_o else_o there_o can_v be_v no_o unity_n he_o must_v know_v that_o priority_n of_o order_n do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o equality_n of_o mixture_n if_o the_o share_n be_v equal_a for_o he_o that_o have_v the_o first_o share_n may_v have_v no_o more_o than_o the_o other_o so_o that_o if_o he_o will_v have_v a_o inequality_n of_o mixture_n a_o primity_n of_o share_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n the_o first_o share_n must_v be_v great_a or_o better_a than_o the_o other_o or_o else_o they_o will_v be_v equal_a and_o then_o he_o can_v call_v it_o a_o mix_a monarchy_n where_o only_o a_o primity_n of_o share_n in_o the_o supreme_a power_n be_v in_o one_o but_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n he_o may_v better_o call_v it_o a_o mix_a aristocracy_n or_o mix_v democracy_n than_o a_o mix_a monarchy_n since_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o house_n of_o 56._o parliament_n sure_o have_v two_o part_n of_o the_o great_a legislative_a authority_n and_o if_o the_o king_n have_v but_o a_o three_o part_n sure_a their_o share_n be_v equal_a the_o first_o step_v our_o author_n make_v be_v this_o the_o sovereign_a power_n must_v be_v original_o in_o all_o three_o next_o he_o find_v that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o equality_n of_o share_n in_o three_o estate_n there_o can_v be_v no_o ground_n to_o denominate_v a_o monarch_n and_o then_o his_o mix_a monarch_n may_v be_v think_v but_o a_o empty_a title_n therefore_o in_o the_o three_o place_n he_o resolve_v we_o that_o to_o salve_v all_o a_o power_n must_v be_v seek_v out_o wherewith_o the_o monarch_n 25._o must_v be_v invest_v which_o be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o to_o destroy_v the_o mixture_n nor_o so_o titular_a as_o to_o destroy_v the_o monarchy_n and_o therefore_o he_o conceive_v it_o may_v be_v in_o these_o particular_n first_o a_o monarch_n in_o a_o mix_a monarchy_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o monarch_n as_o he_o conceive_v 26._o if_o he_o be_v the_o head_n and_o fountain_n of_o the_o power_n which_o govern_v and_o execute_v the_o establish_a law_n that_o be_v a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o monarch_n though_o he_o do_v but_o give_v power_n to_o other_o to_o govern_v and_o execute_v the_o establish_a law_n thus_o he_o bring_v his_o monarch_n one_o step_n or_o peg_v lower_v still_o than_o he_o be_v before_o at_o first_o he_o make_v we_o believe_v his_o monarch_n shall_v have_v the_o supreme_a power_n which_o be_v the_o legislative_a then_o he_o fall_v from_o that_o and_o tell_v we_o a_o limit_a monarch_n must_v govern_v according_a to_o law_n only_o thus_o he_o be_v bring_v from_o the_o legislative_a to_o the_o gubernative_a or_o executive_a power_n only_o nor_o do_v he_o stay_v here_o but_o be_v take_v a_o hole_n low_o for_o now_o he_o must_v not_o govern_v but_o he_o must_v constitute_v officer_n to_o govern_v by_o law_n if_o choose_v officer_n to_o govern_v be_v govern_v than_o our_o author_n will_v allow_v his_o monarch_n to_o be_v a_o governor_n not_o else_o and_o therefore_o he_o that_o divide_v supreme_a power_n into_o legislative_a and_o gubernative_a do_v now_o divide_v it_o into_o legislative_a and_o power_n of_o constitute_v officer_n for_o govern_v by_o law_n and_o this_o he_o say_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o
