reach_v up_o to_o heaven_n but_o to_o show_v how_o vain_a all_o humane_a designment_n be_v which_o think_v to_o contest_v with_o the_o dispensation_n of_o divine_a providence_n the_o almighty_a send_v

according_a to_o the_o generally-received_n opinion_n seventy_o two_o distinct_a nation_n erect_v all_o which_o be_v not_o confuse_a multitude_n leave_v at_o liberty_n to_o choose_v what_o governor_n

their_o land_n after_o their_o nation_n the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o whole_a be_v thus_o these_o be_v the_o family_n of_o the_o son_n of_o noah_n after_o their_o generation_n in_o their_o nation_n and_o by_o these_o be_v the_o nation_n divide_v in_o the_o earth_n after_o the_o flood_n however_o therefore_o the_o manner_n use_v by_o noah_n in_o the_o distribution_n of_o the_o earth_n among_o his_o posterity_n be_v uncertain_a yet_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o division_n itself_o be_v by_o family_n from_o noah_n and_o his_o child_n over_o which_o the_o father_n be_v ruler_n enjoy_v as_o absolute_a a_o authority_n and_o dominion_n as_o ever_o any_o monarch_n since_o the_o creation_n pretend_v to_o agreeable_o to_o this_o account_n of_o the_o original_a of_o monarchy_n deliver_v in_o in_o holy_a scripture_n do_v plato_n in_o his_o three_o book_n of_o law_n affirm_v that_o the_o true_a and_o first_o reason_n of_o authority_n be_v that_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o simple_o those_o that_o beget_v and_o engender_v do_v command_n and_o rule_v over_o all_o their_o child_n groundless_a therefore_o be_v that_o distinction_n which_o some_o man_n make_v of_o

the_o child_n to_o the_o father_n of_o the_o absoluteness_n of_o this_o paternal_a jurisdiction_n example_n be_v frequent_a in_o holy_a writ_n thus_o we_o find_v that_o abraham_n command_v a_o army_n of_o three_o hundred_o and_o eighteen_o soldier_n of_o his_o own_o family_n and_o that_o esau_n meet_v his_o brother_n jacob_n with_o four_o hundred_o man_n at_o arms._n thus_o abraham_n conclude_v

of_o make_v war_n conclude_v peace_n and_o give_v judgement_n of_o life_n or_o death_n be_v the_o chief_a mark_n of_o sovereignty_n that_o can_v be_v find_v in_o any_o monarch_n as_o the_o original_a therefore_o of_o monarchy_n be_v of_o divine_a institution_n so_o its_o power_n be_v uncontrollable_a nor_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o without_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o government_n itself_o right_o then_o whatever_o milton_n in_o his_o justification_n of_o the_o black_a treason_n that_o ever_o eye_n behold_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_a be_v a_o king_n define_v by_o salmasius_n he_o who_o have_v the_o supreme_a power_n in_o the_o kingdom_n accountable_a to_o none_o but_o god_n who_o may_v do_v what_o he_o please_v and_o be_v free_a from_o the_o law_n ridiculous_a then_o if_o not_o malicious_a be_v the_o clamour_n of_o those_o who_o daily_o fill_v the_o world_n with_o outcry_n against_o arbitrary_a power_n for_o there_o never_o be_v nor_o ever_o can_v be_v any_o people_n govern_v without_o a_o power_n of_o legislation_n which_o power_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v arbitrary_a and_o be_v a_o inseparable_a concomitant_a of_o the_o supreme_a governor_n or_o governor_n and_o must_v therefore_o in_o a_o monarchy_n reside_v in_o one_o the_o question_n than_o be_v not_o whether_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o arbitrary_a power_n without_o which_o not_o any_o government_n can_v one_o moment_n subsist_v but_o who_o shall_v have_v this_o arbitrary_a power_n whether_o one_o man_n or_o many_o that_o be_v in_o effect_n whether_o the_o government_n shall_v be_v monarchical_a or_o not_o nay_o it_o have_v be_v see_v that_o those_o very_a person_n who_o clamor_v so_o much_o and_o with_o so_o little_a reason_n against_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n in_o their_o prince_n have_v themselves_o exercise_v the_o height_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n over_o their_o fellow_n subject_n punish_v they_o by_o imprisonment_n and_o other_o penalty_n not_o for_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o know_v and_o certain_a law_n but_o of_o unknown_a and_o uncertain_a privilege_n and_o ascend_v to_o that_o excess_n of_o insolence_n as_o even_o against_o all_o law_n reason_n and_o equity_n to_o declare_v it_o criminal_a for_o any_o one_o to_o lend_v money_n to_o his_o king_n it_o be_v a_o ancient_a tradition_n which_o have_v every_o where_o obtain_v reputation_n that_o noah_n as_o lord_n of_o all_o be_v author_n of_o the_o distribution_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o private_a dominion_n and_o that_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n himself_o he_o confirm_v this_o distribution_n by_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n leave_v at_o his_o death_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o elder_a son_n shem_n by_o which_o he_o warn_v all_o his_o son_n that_o none_o of_o they_o shall_v invade_v any_o of_o their_o brother_n dominion_n because_o discord_n and_o civil_a war_n will_v thence_o necessary_o follow_v thus_o we_o find_v that_o in_o all_o nation_n the_o prince_n be_v at_o first_o lord_n of_o the_o whole_a land_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o whole_a inhabitant_n among_o who_o they_o divide_v such_o part_n thereof_o to_o be_v hold_v by_o such_o tenor_n and_o service_n as_o they_o judge_v most_o convenient_a instead_o then_o of_o empire_n be_v found_v in_o property_n as_o some_o man_n love_v to_o speak_v the_o natural_a dominion_n of_o the_o prince_n be_v the_o original_a of_o all_o propriety_n monarch_n at_o first_o govern_v by_o no_o state_v rule_n or_o law_n but_o by_o immediate_a edict_n or_o command_n of_o their_o own_o will_n as_o they_o in_o their_o own_o judgement_n think_v fit_a but_o when_o king_n come_v to_o be_v so_o busy_v with_o war_n and_o distract_v with_o public_a care_n that_o private_a person_n can_v not_o have_v access_n to_o they_o to_o learn_v their_o pleasure_n upon_o every_o occasion_n than_o do_v they_o both_o for_o the_o ease_n of_o themselves_o and_o their_o people_n set_v down_o law_n by_o which_o they_o will_v ordinary_o govern_v reserve_v to_o themselves_o nevertheless_o liberty_n to_o vary_v from_o they_o as_o oft_o as_o they_o in_o their_o discretion_n shall_v think_v fit_a afterward_o prince_n gracious_o condescend_v to_o call_v to_o their_o counsel_n several_a of_o the_o chief_a man_n of_o their_o kingdom_n and_o in_o time_n to_o admit_v likewise_o of_o deputy_n from_o their_o people_n without_o who_o advice_n and_o consent_n they_o will_v neither_o make_v new_a nor_o abrogate_v old_a law_n thus_o all_o those_o right_n and_o privilege_n which_o licentious_a people_n make_v their_o pretence_n of_o contest_v with_o their_o sovereign_n have_v no_o other_o original_a but_o the_o gracious_a concession_n of_o prince_n which_o though_o they_o be_v so_o far_o bind_v to_o keep_v as_o that_o when_o
