and_o the_o original_a power_n give_v he_o but_o above_o all_o he_o can_v dispose_v of_o one_o chip_n or_o dispense_v in_o one_o the_o least_o law_n far_o than_o he_o apprehend_v it_o as_o fit_v and_o necessary_a to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o if_o he_o do_v he_o exceed_v his_o patent_n and_o power_n true_a it_o be_v there_o be_v a_o great_a discretion_n to_o be_v use_v in_o such_o limit_n and_o the_o prudent_a governor_n will_v see_v that_o the_o good_a of_o the_o community_n require_v many_o of_o those_o dispensation_n which_o careless_a governor_n use_v out_o of_o a_o overween_n of_o their_o own_o height_n and_o power_n have_v thus_o declare_v the_o nature_n and_o condition_n of_o natural_a government_n it_o be_v not_o amiss_o to_o see_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o other_o government_n and_o wherein_o distinguish_v from_o this_o and_o cast_v our_o eye_n round_o about_o we_o we_o quick_o perceive_v certain_a community_n which_o pretend_v to_o a_o defective_a government_n as_o company_n of_o merchant_n or_o tradesman_n university_n and_o college_n of_o scholar_n and_o cloister_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n who_o pretend_v to_o employ_v themselves_o whole_o to_o perfect_v their_o soul_n towards_o eternal_a beatitude_n all_o these_o have_v a_o participation_n of_o government_n but_o have_v not_o the_o universal_a administration_n of_o human_a good_n and_o evil_n for_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n general_o they_o have_v none_o and_o be_v subject_a for_o the_o most_o part_n to_o appeal_n from_o their_o judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o great_a consequence_n neither_o have_v they_o any_o power_n of_o peace_n and_o war_n and_o if_o sometime_o any_o of_o these_o royalty_n belong_v to_o they_o it_o be_v not_o as_o they_o be_v head_n of_o such_o community_n but_o as_o they_o participate_v of_o sovereignty_n by_o privilege_n or_o accident_n these_o therefore_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o government_n we_o pretend_v to_o declare_v as_o be_v slight_a imitation_n of_o it_o and_o certain_a likeness_n not_o the_o power_n itself_o or_o as_o some_o art_n or_o trade_n be_v different_a from_o moral_a philosophy_n which_o be_v mistress_n of_o the_o will_n and_o all_o her_o action_n the_o other_o be_v but_o usher_n to_o the_o particular_a as_o it_o be_v form_n or_o rank_n in_o which_o petty_a thing_n be_v teach_v in_o fine_a these_o other_o be_v to_o our_o government_n as_o particular_n to_o the_o universal_a the_o government_n therefore_o which_o we_o explicate_v be_v that_o which_o have_v power_n either_o of_o all_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o people_n it_o govern_v or_o at_o least_o of_o all_o comprehensible_a by_o nature_n and_o fall_v under_o sense_n and_o experience_n the_o first_o of_o these_o we_o see_v in_o the_o pope_n and_o such_o bishop_n as_o be_v withal_o secular_a prince_n the_o second_o in_o other_o christian_a government_n either_o of_o prince_n or_o commonwealth_n where_o the_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v high_a and_o great_a though_o not_o commander_n of_o the_o temporal_a but_o we_o seek_v far_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o supreme_a government_n different_a from_o this_o we_o explicate_v or_o no_o and_o the_o occasion_n be_v from_o what_o we_o see_v in_o certain_a instance_n that_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o command_n or_o rather_o subjection_n which_o we_o call_v slavery_n exercise_v not_o only_o among_o heathen_n but_o even_o christian_n who_o have_v more_o conformity_n to_o nature_n the_o nine_o ground_n of_o slavery_n and_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o and_o first_o we_o must_v look_v into_o the_o notion_n of_o slavery_n which_o signify_v a_o subjection_n to_o command_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o mere_o for_o the_o master_n profit_n this_o all_o thing_n may_v either_o reach_v to_o the_o hinder_v he_o from_o those_o action_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o obtain_v beatitude_n or_o only_o to_o corporal_a service_n with_o that_o moderation_n that_o the_o master_n hinder_v he_o not_o from_o such_o exercise_n as_o concern_v the_o procurement_n of_o future_a happiness_n and_o clear_o it_o be_v against_o nature_n for_o any_o to_o submit_v his_o will_n so_o far_o as_o to_o renounce_v eternal_a bliss_n there_o can_v then_o be_v any_o obedience_n due_a to_o such_o a_o extremity_n and_o by_o consequence_n there_o can_v be_v any_o power_n of_o command_v such_o enormity_n in_o the_o compass_n of_o nature_n the_o like_a i_o conceive_v of_o a_o subjection_n to_o be_v kill_v or_o maim_v causlesse_o and_o without_o desert_n or_o even_o torment_v nay_o or_o so_o penurious_o abuse_v as_o to_o have_v no_o content_n in_o life_n but_o perpetual_o to_o suffer_v sickness_n hunger_n cold_a or_o any_o other_o notable_o afflictive_a condition_n so_o that_o his_o life_n be_v rather_o a_o punishment_n than_o a_o content_a to_o he_o for_o since_o life_n be_v our_o be_v and_o since_o be_v be_v the_o thing_n most_o deep_o recommend_v to_o we_o by_o nature_n it_o be_v evident_o against_o the_o inclination_n of_o nature_n to_o consent_v to_o the_o loss_n either_o of_o life_n or_o of_o the_o profit_n of_o life_n which_o be_v either_o to_o be_v well_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o next_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v conformable_a to_o nature_n to_o renounce_v either_o especial_o the_o quiet_a in_o this_o world_n be_v the_o mean_n to_o gain_v bliss_n in_o the_o other_o neither_o do_v it_o scare_v i_o to_o cast_v my_o eye_n upon_o so_o many_o holy_a man_n and_o woman_n as_o have_v put_v themselves_o voluntary_o upon_o penurious_a and_o painful_a life_n for_o i_o can_v easy_o answer_v that_o they_o have_v not_o displease_v life_n enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o contemplation_n and_o the_o sweetness_n of_o conscience_n in_o expect_v a_o great_a reward_n for_o what_o they_o do_v so_o that_o they_o only_o refuse_v the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n to_o gain_v those_o of_o the_o next_o which_o be_v very_o rational_a but_o for_o a_o man_n to_o renounce_v the_o content_a of_o this_o world_n who_o either_o think_v not_o of_o another_o or_o at_o least_o hope_v nothing_o out_o of_o his_o renunciation_n this_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v extreme_o irrational_a and_o against_o nature_n who_o universal_a aim_n be_v to_o be_v well_o either_o in_o the_o next_o or_o this_o present_a life_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o su●h_a subjection_n natural_a there_o can_v as_o little_a be_v any_o power_n of_o command_n get_v either_o by_o promise_n and_o submission_n of_o the_o subject_a or_o violence_n of_o the_o commander_n who_o may_v perforce_o do_v what_o he_o list_v but_o can_v never_o make_v it_o conformable_a to_o nature_n to_o use_v a_o other_o with_o such_o inhuman_a severity_n there_o follow_v yet_o another_o kind_n of_o slavery_n which_o consist_v in_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v what_o his_o master_n command_v while_o his_o master_n afford_v he_o a_o convenient_a livelihood_n and_o be_v subject_a to_o due_a punishment_n without_o far_a appeal_n when_o he_o deserve_v it_o and_o this_o have_v no_o apparent_a opposition_n to_o nature_n why_o in_o circumstance_n a_o man_n may_v not_o bind_v himself_o to_o it_o and_o be_v oblige_v to_o maintain_v and_o make_v good_a his_o word_n to_o his_o die_a day_n and_o of_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o slavery_n we_o may_v question_v whether_o nature_n allow_v a_o whole_a people_n to_o be_v involve_v in_o it_o or_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o only_o can_v happen_v accidental_o in_o nature_n and_o aristotle_n be_v the_o first_o man_n who_o we_o be_v engage_v to_o offend_v in_o this_o matter_n who_o say_v or_o seem_v to_o say_v that_o some_o nation_n be_v natural_o master_n and_o commander_n other_o slave_n and_o subject_n to_o which_o conceit_n virgil_n seem_v also_o to_o incline_v tu_fw-la regere_fw-la imperio_fw-la populos_fw-la roman_a memento_n etc._n etc._n hae_fw-la tibi_fw-la erunt_fw-la art_n as_o if_o it_o

a_o little_a self-pleasing_a in_o these_o two_o great_a author_n and_o affection_n towards_o their_o country_n which_o make_v they_o fall_v into_o this_o extremity_n of_o think_v it_o fit_a that_o
