be_v first_o govern_v by_o king_n until_o the_o wantonness_n ambition_n or_o faction_n of_o the_o people_n make_v they_o attempt_v news_n kind_n of_o regiment_n but_o let_v any_o one_o read_v the_o

the_o ambition_n or_o faction_n of_o the_o people_n and_o as_o for_o the_o antiquity_n of_o monarchy_n the_o alteration_n of_o it_o rather_o make_v against_o he_o since_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o a_o people_n seldom_o alter_v a_o government_n unless_o they_o find_v themselves_o hurt_v by_o it_o and_o that_o it_o prove_v inconvenient_a for_o they_o i_o shall_v not_o dispute_v which_o be_v the_o better_a government_n monarchy_n or_o commonwealth_n since_o in_o my_o own_o judgement_n i_o incline_v to_o the_o former_a where_o the_o monarch_n be_v good_a and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o affirm_v as_o the_o author_n do_v 71._o direction_n for_o obedience_n p._n 71._o that_o even_o the_o power_n which_o god_n himself_o exercise_v over_o mankind_n be_v by_o the_o right_n of_o fatherhood_n as_o he_o be_v both_o king_n and_o father_n of_o we_o all_o since_o beside_o his_o absolute_a power_n and_o his_o be_v the_o sole_a cause_n of_o our_o production_n he_o be_v also_o endue_v with_o that_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n that_o he_o still_o order_v all_o thing_n for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o subject_n and_o so_o have_v beside_o his_o power_n the_o high_a right_a to_o govern_v as_o the_o best_a and_o most_o perfect_a be_v so_o likewise_o monarch_n as_o far_o as_o they_o imitate_v the_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o beneficence_n have_v the_o like_v right_o to_o be_v call_v god_n lieutenant_n nor_o shall_v i_o trouble_v myself_o as_o the_o author_n do_v p._n 67._o and_o so_o on_o to_o 73._o to_o compare_v the_o mischiess_n and_o inconvenience_n that_o have_v be_v find_v in_o absolute_a monarchical_a and_o popular_a government_n there_o be_v various_a example_n both_o of_o cruelty_n and_o injustice_n in_o both_o and_o i_o think_v they_o be_v both_o the_o apt_a of_o any_o sort_n of_o government_n to_o run_v into_o extreme_n and_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o there_o have_v not_o be_v find_v out_o a_o regal_a government_n mix_v with_o somewhat_o of_o a_o aristocracy_n or_o democracy_n which_o if_o true_o observe_v be_v free_a from_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o either_o but_o this_o author_n be_v so_o full_a of_o the_o mischief_n of_o commonwealth_n that_o he_o

of_o their_o power_n thus_o he_o make_v it_o the_o height_n of_o the_o roman_a liberty_n that_o its_o subject_n may_v be_v kill_v by_o those_o that_o will_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o tyranny_n of_o sylla_n as_o a_o effect_n of_o the_o roman_a freedom_n when_o indeed_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o effect_n of_o the_o absolute_a monarchy_n usurp_v by_o sylla_n during_o his_o dictatorship_n so_o that_o
