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

this_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n be_v from_o god_n though_o by_o the_o people_n as_o much_o as_o the_o government_n be_v for_o the_o same_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v

that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o political_a government_n shall_v ordinary_o arise_v from_o any_o other_o source_n but_o this_o there_o be_v but_o these_o 4_o or_o 5_o way_n that_o offer_v at_o

of_o these_o five_o can_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o political_a authority_n 1._o not_o paternity_n for_o 1._o that_o be_v no_o obedience_n to_o a_o political_a authority_n unless_o by_o way_n of_o analogy_n that_o be_v enjoin_v in_o the_o 5_o command_n if_o it_o be_v so_o i_o see_v not_o but_o such_o a_o authority_n may_v derive_v from_o maternity_n as_o well_o as_o paternity_n the_o same_o honour_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o mother_n by_o that_o command_n that_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o father_n unless_o we_o have_v a_o salic_a law_n against_o the_o five_o commandment_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 at_o the_o use_n of_o his_o reason_n to_o guide_v himself_o though_o a_o filial_a reverence_n and_o honour_n ought_v to_o continue_v indispensable_o till_o death_n 3._o political_n and_o paternal_a authority_n be_v vast_o different_a for_o the_o son_n may_v be_v a_o political_a head_n to_o his_o father_n while_o his_o father_n have_v a_o paternal_a authority_n over_o he_o as_o be_v evident_a 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 king_n enough_o every_o town_n will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o heptarchy_n but_o a_o hecatontarchy_n if_o there_o be_v so_o many_o family_n there_o i_o will_v deny_v but_o father_n may_v be_v the_o first_o monarch_n of_o the_o world_n when_o child_n be_v man_n and_o so_o out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o pupillage_n they_o be_v like_a enough_o to_o submit_v to_o their_o father_n as_o their_o 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 more_o chargeable_a part_n of_o government_n beside_o the_o custom_n of_o command_v they_o when_o child_n make_v it_o a_o easy_a transition_n from_o paternal_a to_o political_a authority_n and_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 great_a perplexity_n who_o that_o heir_n shall_v be_v whether_o daughter_n or_o brother_n or_o young_a son_n son_n shall_v wear_v the_o crown_n in_o case_n of_o competition_n with_o 100_o other_o

i_o believe_v will_v give_v they_o but_o little_a thanks_o for_o this_o doctrine_n for_o it_o dismount_v they_o all_o but_o one_o and_o send_v they_o to_o blow_n nay_o that_o one_o i_o fear_v will_v be_v in_o danger_n too_o who_o can_v derive_v his_o pedigree_n perhaps_o no_o more_o from_o adam_n then_o a_o cromwell_n or_o a_o massaniello_n beside_o if_o it_o be_v our_o good_a fortune_n to_o
