seem_v to_o favour_v the_o contrary_a opinion_n such_o as_o the_o deserve_o celebrate_v saunderson_n and_o usher_n it_o be_v when_o they_o see_v a_o king_n so_o coarse_o handle_v by_o his_o people_n

2._o paternal_a authority_n be_v but_o of_o a_o short_a duration_n be_v only_o necessary_a to_o discipline_n and_o govern_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o child_n in_o nonage_n till_o he_o be_v arrive_v

in_o the_o instance_n of_o my_o lord_n darn_o and_o king_n james_n as_o also_o in_o kish_n and_o saul_n 4._o if_o political_a authority_n arise_v from_o paternity_n it_o can_v extend_v no_o surth_o than_o paternity_n a_o relation_n found_v upon_o paternity_n can_v be_v transfer_v but_o you_o must_v transfer_v its_o foundation_n the_o same_o paternity_n with_o it_o and_o so_o your_o governor_n must_v be_v your_o natural_a father_n as_o well_o as_o your_o king_n 5._o if_o political_a authority_n arise_v from_o paternity_n every_o father_n will_v be_v a_o king_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v

lawmaker_n and_o governor_n the_o father_n must_v sure_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v trust_v with_o such_o a_o charge_n paternal_a affection_n must_v engage_v he_o to_o have_v a_o tender_a regard_n to_o the_o property_n of_o his_o child_n he_o also_o may_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v endow_v with_o great_a wisdom_n and_o to_o be_v furnish_v with_o a_o large_a estate_n that_o may_v fit_v he_o for_o the_o

therefore_o right_a reason_n may_v direct_v the_o child_n to_o such_o a_o choice_n and_o from_o thence_o paternal_a authority_n pass_v into_o political_n and_o so_o though_o father_n may_v be_v king_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o as_o father_n 2._o political_a authority_n can_v arise_v from_o the_o divine_a donation_n to_o the_o heir_n of_o adam_n 1._o for_o than_o we_o shall_v be_v leave_v in_o
