i_o find_v no_o approbation_n of_o such_o as_o the_o kingless_a keeper_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o england_n or_o other_o place_n hogen-mogen_a state_n of_o the_o unite_a province_n burgo-master_n of_o venice_n or_o geneva_n or_o such_o like_a such_o government_n seem_v to_o be_v quite_o out_o of_o god_n care_n or_o regard_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v regard_v by_o good_a man_n nor_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o to_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n have_v neither_o divine_a precept_n nor_o example_n to_o countenance_v they_o but_o though_o i_o take_v monarchy_n to_o be_v hereditary_a

that_o will_v affirm_v that_o by_o divine_a right_n and_o institution_n a_o king_n may_v tyrannize_v over_o his_o subject_n or_o impose_v unreasonable_a and_o unjust_a thing_n upon_o they_o for_o

17._o of_o deut._n and_o very_o plentiful_o in_o scripture_n elsewhere_o but_o if_o a_o king_n break_v any_o of_o those_o law_n he_o be_v not_o punishable_a by_o his_o subject_n but_o god_n assume_v
