A61130	A treatise partly theological, and partly political containing some few discourses, to prove that the liberty of philosophizing (that is making use of natural reason) may be allow'd without any prejudice to piety, or to the peace of any common-wealth, and that the loss of public peace and religion it self must necessarily follow, where such a liberty of reasoning is taken away / translated out of Latin.; Tractatus theologico-politicus.

that_o the_o number_n of_o year_n of_o saul_n age_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o reign_v be_v omit_v and_o that_o the_o time_n of_o his_o reign_n be_v more_o than_o two_o year_n any_o man_n may_v gather_v

in_o maintain_v such_o law_n he_o will_v think_v himself_o rather_o the_o people_n servant_n than_o their_o master_n a_o new_a monarch_n will_v make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o make_v new_a law_n frame_v the_o rule_n of_o government_n to_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o will_v reduce_v the_o people_n to_o such_o a_o condition_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a with_o as_o much_o ease_n to_o unmake_v as_o make_v a_o king._n but_o here_o i_o can_v pass_v by_o another_o observation_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a thing_n to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o a_o king_n though_o it_o be_v evident_a to_o all_o the_o world_n he_o be_v a_o absolute_a tyrant_n because_o when_o a_o nation_n be_v accustom_v to_o kingly_a authority_n and_o have_v be_v govern_v only_o by_o it_o they_o will_v scorn_v and_o contemn_v any_o authority_n that_o be_v less_o and_o when_o they_o have_v take_v away_o one_o tyrant_n they_o will_v be_v necessitate_v as_o heretofore_o the_o prophet_n be_v to_o choose_v another_o in_o his_o room_n who_o must_v be_v a_o tyrant_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o no_o for_o how_o can_v he_o behold_v his_o subject_n hand_n stain_v with_o royal_a blood_n and_o approve_v the_o fact_n which_o be_v but_o a_o precedent_n to_o show_v how_o they_o may_v likewise_o deal_v with_o he_o if_o he_o will_v be_v a_o king_n and_o will_v have_v the_o people_n acknowledge_v his_o power_n and_o not_o be_v his_o judge_n he_o must_v unless_o he_o intend_v to_o reign_v precarious_o first_o revenge_n the_o death_n of_o his_o predecessor_n and_o make_v the_o people_n a_o example_n that_o they_o may_v not_o dare_v to_o commit_v the_o like_a parricide_n upon_o he_o but_o how_o can_v he_o revenge_v upon_o the_o people_n the_o death_n of_o a_o tyrant_n unless_o he_o first_o defend_v the_o former_a tyrant_n cause_n approve_v his_o action_n and_o consequent_o tread_v in_o his_o step_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o people_n may_v indeed_o change_v but_o never_o destroy_v a_o tyrant_n or_o turn_v ancient_a monarchical_a government_n into_o any_o other_o form_n of_o this_o the_o people_n of_o a_o kingdom_n not_o far_o from_o we_o have_v give_v the_o world_n a_o fatal_a example_n who_o under_o colour_n and_o form_n of_o law_n and_o justice_n take_v away_o their_o king_n life_n and_o when_o he_o be_v go_v they_o can_v do_v no_o less_o than_o change_v the_o form_n of_o government_n but_o after_o much_o blood_n spill_v it_o come_v to_o this_o pass_n at_o last_o that_o another_o person_n be_v set_v up_o not_o by_o the_o name_n of_o king_n as_o if_o all_o the_o quarrel_n have_v be_v for_o nothing_o but_o a_o name_n who_o can_v not_o possible_o stand_v unless_o he_o destroy_v the_o royal_a line_n and_o all_o that_o be_v suspect_v to_o be_v the_o last_o king_n friend_n he_o disturb_v the_o quiet_a of_o peace_n which_o breed_v rumour_n with_o new_a war_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v divert_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o people_n from_o reflect_v upon_o the_o king_n murder_n but_o the_o nation_n at_o last_o find_v they_o have_v do_v nothing_o for_o the_o public_a good_a by_o put_v to_o death_n their_o lawful_a king_n and_o by_o change_v the_o government_n have_v bring_v themselves_o into_o a_o condition_n worse_o than_o they_o be_v in_o before_o they_o resolve_v to_o return_v from_o whence_o they_o have_v stray_v nor_o be_v they_o quiet_a till_o they_o see_v all_o thing_n restore_v to_o their_o former_a state_n perhaps_o some_o will_v object_v the_o example_n of_o the_o people_n of_o rome_n who_o with_o much_o ease_n rid_v themselves_o of_o a_o tyrant_n but_o their_o example_n i_o think_v make_v good_a my_o opinion_n for_o though_o the_o people_n of_o rome_n can_v easy_o destroy_v a_o tyrant_n and_o change_v their_o form_n of_o government_n because_o the_o power_n and_o right_n of_o choose_v a_o king_n and_o his_o successor_n be_v in_o the_o people_n and_o because_o the_o people_n among_o who_o be_v many_o criminal_a and_o seditious_a person_n be_v not_o accustom_v to_o king_n for_o of_o six_o they_o kill_v three_o yet_o still_o they_o do_v nothing_o but_o in_o the_o place_n of_o one_o tyrant_n choose_v many_o who_o keep_v they_o always_o embroil_v in_o foreign_a and_o civil_a war_n till_o the_o government_n under_o another_o name_n as_o it_o do_v late_o in_o england_n fall_v again_o to_o a_o monarch_n but_o the_o state_n of_o holland_n never_o that_o we_o know_v have_v king_n but_o only_a earl_n or_o count_n upon_o who_o the_o supreme_a power_n be_v devolve_v for_o the_o

nothing_o without_o their_o consent_n and_o approbation_n whence_o it_o clear_o follow_v that_o the_o right_n of_o supreme_a power_n and_o majesty_n always_o reside_v in_o the_o state_n which_o power_n the_o last_o earl_n endeavour_v to_o usurp_v the_o state_n can_v not_o possible_o be_v think_v guilty_a of_o any_o revolt_n or_o rebellion_n when_o they_o do_v only_o restore_v their_o
